The non binding survey followed a second phase study of a town sponsored water acquisition done by the Stantec company. The study showed the town could operate the water system cheaper than the PUD if the town could find a certified water technician that makes less than the PUD rate of more than $30 per hour and if other conditions stayed as predicted.

“That is someone we would have to hire and recruit,” Town Councilman Van Whysong said. He added that a current employee could go through the water certification process.

PUD turbines almost complete The Pend Oreille Public Utility District turbine project is nearing completion after the turbine assembly was installed at Box Canyon Dam, Monday, Sept. 15. PUD General Manager John Jordan said the project is on schedule for a December completion and the costs have not increased past the estimated $102 million. The project went over the anticipated costs of $68 million when turbines were pulled apart in 2009 and the PUD saw how extensive the project was going to be. The PUD has been upgrading the turbines since 2009 as part of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 50-year license on the hydroelectric project as well as preparing them for another 50 years of service.

WSU Extension Office on the move Outgrew current location

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Mike Jensen, director of Washington State University’s Pend Oreille County Extension program, is looking for new space. Extension is currently located in the old jail behind the county courthouse in Newport, a space they share with the Weed Board.

It has been too small for years but now, with up to eight new people expected to be hired in coming months, Jensen is looking for a place to move to.

Pend Oreille County is trying to accommodate him, partially because WSU has committed $50,000 towards the new location.

The money can’t be spent on

The county and Jensen are moving forward with a plan to move Extension to a portion of the Garden Avenue Building located between the Hall of Justice and Counseling Services in Newport.

The county has discussed also moving the Pend Oreille Economic Development office from rented space in downtown Newport and the community development/ planning office from the old courthouse.

“The expectation when I came here was that I would leverage reserves and partnerships,” Jensen said. So far he has been able to do so, forging partnerships with schools and the county.

Jensen, who started in December, said the financial commitment of Washington

State University was significant. He is looking forward to moving into the Garden Avenue building.

PUD: CNS borrowed money for overruns FROM PAGE 1

ing Tuesday, Sept. 16. The RSP companies have said they plan to pass this increase on to their customers.

The commissioners had considered an increase from the current $35 introductory charge to as much as $50, which was the rate in the business model the staff had prepared at the beginning of the construction project.

The increase will make the cost of fiber $40 starting Jan.1, 2015, and $45 starting Jan. 1, 2016.

PUD General Manager John Jordan said in the wake of the recent storms in the county, a large increase would not be beneficial.

The PUD bills the three retail service providers (RSPs), POVN, Concept Cable and iFiber, for the amount of customers on the system. The RSPs then bill the customers for the services they request. Jordan said the PUD does not have any influence over what the RSPs charge for service.

Currently there are 1,375 requests for fiber service, with 1,100 customers connected. PUD IT Director Rhonda Thomas said they would like to have the remaining 225 customers connected during the month of October.

The commissioners discussed the rates for CNS fiber service during a public hearing, Tuesday, Aug. 19. They said they planned to do this after one year of operations. About 12 area residents attended the hearing.

PUD commissioner Curt Knapp said at the August hearing that the CNS rate of $35 was an introductory rate to “get things going.” The rate was always intended to increase at the end of one year, with $50

being the targeted price, Knapp said. They could decide to have no increase or something between $35 and $50.

According to the financial forecast PUD treasurer Sarah Holderman presented at the hearing, the $35 rate would not sustain the system past next year.

Holderman said if the PUD board raised the rate to $45 over a four-year window, the CNS system could sustain itself. If the PUD were to raise it to $50, the CNS system would receive about $250,000 more in working capital. This assumes about 1,300 customers currently with a growing trend for the future years.

The forecast covered debt payments to Box Canyon Dam because CNS had to borrow money for project overruns. It also covered the storm damage that knocked out much of the fiber system in July.

Holderman said the CNS system is looking at about $250,000 in damages from the storms and about $80,000 for additional contractors. Holderman said the forecast assumes no more massive outages but does include small outages that could occur.

Holderman said CNS needs about $500,000 in working capital to sustain the current system.

The three retail service providers were all present at the August hearing. All three companies said they would want at least two months notice to alert customers of the rate increase.

Jordan said CNS is a small business that the PUD wants to be self-sustaining.

All attendees at the August hearing said the electric system should not subsidize the fiber system. Most of those in attendance also said they are on fixed incomes and even a $5 increase would impact their budget.

Museum hosts Heritage Days just for kids

BY DESIREÉ HOOD OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – The Pend Oreille Historical Society and Museum will host a small version of Heritage Days for children, Thursday and Friday, Sept. 18-19 at the museum.

The Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce used to host a citywide event to celebrate the local heritage but is not this year.

The historical society also had vintage demonstrations for all visitors but will not this year.

“When (Heritage Days) started, it was more of an all city event with walking tours, open houses and other programs but lately it has just been us and a school event,” said Faith McClenny, an organizer and local historian. “I personally feel it is a worthwhile and interesting event for everyone to know something about our town and county history.”

“One of the principal goals of the museum is to educate people, especially students,

about the history of Pend Oreille County,” McClenny said.

McClenny said the twoday museum event is for third and fourth graders to see the old log houses the pioneers lived in, the one room schoolhouses people were educated in and the logging tools they used.

There will be two programs offered, one for each age group. On Thursday, Sept. 18, fourth graders will participate in The Story of Pend Oreille County, including learning the history of David Thompson, the oneroom school and sawmill exhibit. Each fourth grader will get a copy of the booklet “Kids History of Pend Oreille County,” provided by a grant from the Pend Oreille Valley Foundation.

On Friday, Sept. 19, third graders will tour the museum in two groups and decorate a bookmark using potato stamping.

There will also be a small tepee on display during the event for the children to see how the Native Americans used to live.

WATER: Survey results at public hearing NEWPORT: Every room in Stratton is now full FROM PAGE 1

“While it may be possible to reduce the cost for a system operator under new ownership, the Town must also understand the additional costs and risks it would incur by being responsible for routine operations and maintenance, as well as capital improvements,” the study states.

The water system ratepayers are about $180,000 in debt to the PUD, which owns and operates the system now. The PUD’s recent water rate increase designed to balance the budget started the town leaders’ discussion of a possible acquisition.

The study states the town would obtain outside financing and repay the debt to the PUD at the time of the acquisition.

Over time, the town would be able to pay off the debt and build a reserve fund for maintenance and improvements, the study states.

The town officials discussed the detailed Phase 2 report with Stantec consultant Alan Gay during a special meeting July 29. Following the July meeting, the survey was made in cooperation with the PUD asking the customers of the water system if they want the town to acquire the system. Currently there are more than 200 customers on the water system, a portion of which do not live in the town limits.

Whysong said PUD administrators oversaw the survey and they have indicated that they need enough responses for the survey to be considered when they make their decision. The final decision to transfer ownership to the city would have to be made by the PUD commissioners.

“The PUD has said from the start they will oversee the survey,” Whysong said.

“They will determine whether the survey has any validity.”

There is no set deadline for the survey to be returned, however, the PUD asks that they be returned by Friday, Sept. 19.

Surveys should be sent to or dropped off at the Town of Metaline Falls, P.O. Box 277, Metaline Falls WA 99153.

The PUD will discuss the results of the survey during a public hearing at the regular board meeting at the Box Canyon Dam maintenance shop, Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 1 p.m.

“We are just waiting for the ratepayers to decide what the next steps should be,” Whysong said.

The study details the operation of the different parts of the water system, from

hours of operation to meter reading to money for more fire hydrants. It included an inspection of the system, development of a model of expenses to compare to PUD costs and a cost assessment for maintenance, operations and capital replacement on the system.

“Overall, it appears the PUD has maintained the system quite well,” the study states. “Consistent systems upgrades, such as the addition of a backup generator at the treatment plant and water main replacement throughout the system, help to ensure system reliability.”

The study also states that the annual average of 30 hours per week should not be reduced, which is the amount the PUD employee works at the system. It said the labor cost is expected to be about $25 per hour, or $31.25 with benefits. The PUD rate

‘Overall, it appears the PUD has maintained the system quite well.’

Stantec Study is more than $30 per hour starting for one operator.

The water system for the town begins at an intake, located on the North Fork Sullivan Creek. The water travels through piping along Sullivan Lake Road to the treatment plant. It is physically and chemically treated before it is distributed to the town.

The PUD has a surface right on the water in the North Fork for domestic and municipal uses. The creek is on federal land so the PUD has been issued a permit from the U.S. Forest Service to impound the water. Part of this permit is an annual inspection of the dam on the North Fork and Whysong said the town would have to do inspections.

The Special Use Permit allows the PUD to construct or maintain facilities on the land. The permit expires in 2021. PUD water systems manager Mark Scott said this permit is not transferable and the town would have to retain a new permit.

Whysong said Stantec told the council the permit should be transferable. He said the costs of transferring the permit are unknown at this time.

“That’s the way we think it should be,” Whysong said.

of school to accommodate the extra students. The district is hiring a kindergarten teacher for the class.

Crouch said the number of kindergarten students is hard to know before school starts. He said they visit the local pre-schools and daycares to get an idea, but the actual number is not known until the first day of school.

“The other 32 are a surprise to us,” Crouch said.

He added that every room in Stratton is now full.

The Board of Directors approved the three-year School Resource Officer contract with the Pend Oreille County Sheriff’s Office. It will be adjusted annually for costs and other needs, Superintendent Dave Smith said.

The contract still needs the approval of the county commissioners and sheriff’s office before becoming final.

Smith said SRO Deputy Jerry Dobson is working well with the students. He has been to lunch with the elementary students multiple times. He will patrol the high traffic areas of the district grounds, including the cemetery, which is a popular “hang-out” spot for the students, Smith said.

In other business, the school board approved an easement to SBA Communications for the cellular tower that sits on school property behind Ellersick Field. SBA was paying about $800 per month or $9,500 per year.

SBA will pay $140,000 in a one-time payment to pay for the remaining 17 years on the easement lease. This gives SBA about a $60,000

discount.

Crouch said the property will still belong to the school, but SBA will have the easement.

“It’s not really an asset to sell,” Crouch said.

The district signed a 30year lease with SBA in 2001, earning $600 per month back then. The payment was raised to $690 in 2006 and to $794 in 2001. Crouch said that the payment from SBA would keep increasing over the term of the lease totaling about $200,000.

“It’s a chance we are taking. They are paying it up front,” Crouch said. “They may not need cell towers for 17 years.”

After denying two other smaller offers in 2012 and 2013, the board approved this agreement.

“We could certainly use the extra funds now,” Crouch said.

The board also approved basic education requirements, which the State Board of Education requires from each school district.

Newport is in line with state requirements for 180 days of classes and 23 credits needed.

Three students from Cusick will be playing soccer for Newport after the board approved a combined soccer program. Newport has combined the wrestling program already because the Cusick district is not large enough to offer an individual program.

Smith said Cusick would pay a percentage of the costs for the programs based on the number of students participating. They are also responsible for their own transportation costs.

METALINE FALLS – The of Metaline Falls Town Council adopted four ordinances at its meeting, Tuesday, Sept. 9, including a repeal of the town’s curfew.

Town Council member Van Whysong said a town curfew is not legal so an ordinance about enforcing one had to be repealed.

“We have found that it is no longer legal so we repealed it,” Whysong said.

The ordinance was passed unanimously, with one council member not in attendance, Whysong said.

The council voted to approve an ordinance prohibiting overnight parking, overnight camping and the storage of personal property in public places.

Whysong said the town had a few “issues” with people camping in the streets and parks. He said the issue was worked out with the sheriff’s office and there was a “satisfactory outcome.”

Whysong said this ordinance is to help prevent future problems.

Whysong said the other two ordinances are about bookkeeping. One established a wastewater reserve fund to pay back a Department of Ecology revolving fund loan.

Whysong said ordinance requires the town put a little bit of money into a budget for the loan.

“That allows us to pay that long term loan back,” Whysong said.

The final ordinance passed was for a capital project fund allowing the town to get a loan agreement with the Department of Ecology for projects related to the town waste water system. Whysong said some of the projects are happening currently and some are planned for the future.

LETTE RS POLICY

There are bigger fish to fry in lake level plans

We welcome letters to the editor. Letters should be no longer than 300 words. Letters should be typed and submitted to The Miner office no later than 5 p.m.

Friday for publication the following Wednesday. No letter will be published unless it is signed by at least one individual, even if the letter represents the view of a group.

F

or decades, there have been special interest groups demanding different Pend Oreille Lake levels for different reasons. Mostly the government agencies have either fought for the needs of different species of fish. The debate is raging again as the politically correct fish to save today is the fragile bull trout. We think it’s time to get the groups together and come up with a permanent and legally binding lake level instead of surfing the waves created by politics.

The latest proposal is to release water possibly in August from Albeni Falls Dam. This is a temporary solution in a short sighted plan proponents think will help bull trout survival until the federal government can plan and build a fish ladder at its Albeni dam. They aren’t sure this water release will help but the Corp of Engineers modeling showed it might. So they plan to do it. They don’t publicly talk about the millions of dollars being spent on other projects to enhance bull trout populations like those the Pend Oreille PUD is doing.

The discussions must be comprehensive and include cost and benefit analysis before proceeding.

The problem is that their modeling apparently included simulated bull trout but didn’t included simulated humans boating, swimming and fishing from their property along the reservoir. These folks are rightfully concerned that their recreational opportunities and resulting decreased value of property will be impacted by low water in August. The Corps modeling should have also shown that this is one of the best times for recreation. This should have some weight in the lake level plan.

Lowering the lake starting in August instead of after Labor Day is even more concerning to lake users because currently it takes until July for the lake to reach full pool after the winter draw down. A fish ladder might be the best solution but the federal government admits they move very slowly and it will take many years to plan and approve. Maybe a better solution would be to get moving faster with the ladder.

A multi-state group representing all lake level interests from Montana, Idaho and Washington was formed years ago. But they have little power and apparently aren’t at the federal government’s decision making table. They say they want some permanent definition of lake levels and a long-term agreement so the community doesn’t have this concern every year. We agree and think our representatives in Congress should make this happen before funding any more models or projects at Albeni Falls Dam. They should also demand a cost and benefit study before anything is done.

Wolves and ranches can coexist What happened last month with the Huckleberry wolf pack and a band of sheep in southern Stevens County was not good for anybody. The operator lost several dozen sheep and a lot of time and money. And now, with the death of its female leader, the future behavior of the Huckleberry Pack – which had been thriving in that area without any livestock conflict for several years – is much harder to predict.

Minimizing the risk of conflict between livestock and wolves is not only best for everyone, it’s the policy of the state due to bipartisan legislation. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is able to assist ranchers with conflict avoidance assets and on-theground resources through direct and stable funding from the sale of personalized license plates.

Conflict avoidance tactics like range riders aren’t a cure-all, but they can work well when undertaken with diligence. I know this because Conservation Northwest is involved in five such projects in Eastern Washington, using private funds and staff to help ranchers live and prosper among our state’s wolf packs. Our con-

tracts currently fund and guide range riders who oversee livestock sharing range with wolves from Teanaway near Cle Elum to Smackout up by Ione.

This is our third summer supporting range riders, with a total of nine G U E ST project O P I N I O N seasons.

And with MITCH our assistance these FRIEDMAN ranchers EXECUTIVE and their DIRECTOR OF CONSERVATION range riders NORTHWEST have yet to lose any livestock or wolves to conflict. The range riders have learned a ton, including respect and curiosity for wolves. Our ranch partners have been pleased with the weight gains that regular and thorough supervision have brought their cattle.

And the Forest Service has been pleased with resulting range conditions.

YO U R O P I N I O N A big thank you to PUD, city To the editor: We want to publicly thank the Pend Oreille Public Utility District and the city road maintenance crew for the professional job they did in removing a huge tree from the alley on Fourth Avenue in Newport.

During the first big storm, a large branch from the 90-plus foot tree in the alley fell, damaging our truck. We contacted the PUD because there were branches hanging close to the power lines and other dead branches just ready to fall. Both the city public works and the PUD came out to assess the tree.

It took the tree removal team two full days to remove the tree, and the city crew to assist in removing the debris from the alley and Fourth Avenue.

As a note to everyone, look around your property.

Identify any potential trees or hazards that could cause a power outage, and report them to the PUD. The dying tree that was removed potentially saved thousands of dollars in property damage to those of us living in its path of destruction.

Thank you again PUD and city crews.

Resource officer is benefit to schools To the editor: I strongly disagree with Mr. Scobby’s concerns with what he believes the functions of the new School Resource Officer (SRO) are to be. (Letter to the editor,

Sept. 10, 2014.)

The Resource Officer will be a resource to the students, staff and community. Once students get familiar with the SRO, hopefully they can learn from him about issues in their lives that they may not be comfortable sharing with other adults. Also, the presence of a trained deputy at the school should result in less assaults, thefts, and drug and alcohol issues occurring now than in the past.

It appears Mr. Scobby believes the SRO’s only duty will be to shoot dead any student or adult who is armed and does not follow his orders. I have known hundreds of law enforcement officers in my life and absolutely the last thing they want to do is shoot someone, especially a young person. And if, God forbid, a terrible day comes when an armed person is at the school, I would feel better as a parent knowing there was a well trained professional deputy on scene who could respond to the situation.

A couple of reading and math tutors probably could not offer the same level of protection.

Mr. Scobby also obviously does not know deputy Dobson, the SRO, as well as I do. I have worked professionally with deputy Dobson for many years, and know him to be a well trained, dedicated, caring deputy and family man.

Parents and grandparents should know their tax dollars are being well spent to have deputy Dobson as their SRO. -Greg Hicks Newport

I was paralyzed 35 years ago, shortly after my 18th birthday in an altercation with another teenager. Alcohol was a factor.

Sadly, every 48 minutes, another person will become paralyzed.

During this month, I hope people will remember the struggles those of us who are paralyzed confront on a daily basis and consider donating in honor of a loved one, caregiver, scientist or organizations that is working to improve the life of those injured.

We need a peaceful means to our ends To the editor: After reading Tom Frisque’s letter last week, I want to ask him what he personally is willing to put into a never ending war with Arabs. Would Tom pay more taxes to pay for the bombs he wants to drop on Arabs?

Will he send his kids and grandkids off to fight futile wars?

Frisque talks of Arabs’ fanatical obsession to de-

stroy Israel while America has dropped thousands of bombs on millions of Arabs. Israel bombs in self-defense at a 100 to 1 ratio in answer to rockets fired into Israel. Dropping bombs on people is certain to make them fanatical.

I don’t understand how the Christian religion of peace has been turned into a “bomb people of other religions” dogma.

How can Frisque deplore the Arabs when we are essentially doing the same thing? If America drops a bomb, it’s to protect our national interests. If an Arab blows himself up at a military roadblock, it’s an act of terrorism.

Since most Arabs don’t have bombing aircraft, they resort to terrorist like attacks in response to our bombing. A car bomb is just as destructive as a bomb dropped from one of our airplanes.

What I don’t understand is why do we not seek a peaceful means to end our conflicts? Our first reaction is to bomb people who don’t like us.

Now that we have more people who don’t like us, why should we continue to bomb as our policy?

Frisque talks of good and evil and he should consider that there is no good in killing. Tom needs to consider that we used evil terror bombing on Germans and Japanese during World War II. We don’t get to say that our killing is good. We don’t need any leader who conducts never ending wars with 1.6 billion Muslims.

In light of the increasing number of prisoners freed from death row after wrongful convictions, should the United States continue the death penalty?

President Obama addressed the nation last week, saying he authorized U.S> airstrikes inside Syria for the first time, along with expanded strikes in Iraq, as part of a “steady, relentless effort” to root out Islamic State (ISIS) extremists and their spreading reign of terror. This authorization, along with his request for a Pentagon-led effort to train and arm more moderate elements of the Syrian opposition, comes after ISIS released videos of the beheading of two American journalists and a British aide worker.

Do you think the United States needs to step up its military presence in the Middle East, or continue on Obama’s initial plan to remove our military efforts in the region?

In light of the direct attack on Americans, we need to do everything we can to seek out and destroy ISIS. I never thought we should have left Iraq in the first place. The region is notoriously dangerous for Americans.

We need to get out of the Middle East. Only after the U.S. military leaves those people alone will they stop targeting Americans.

Woman sentenced to drug treatment for burglary

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – A woman with a long criminal history was sentenced to a prison based Drug Offender Sentencing Alternative when she appeared in Pend Oreille County District Court before Judge Pat Monasmith Thursday, Sept. 11.

Karmin L. Benham, 46, pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary the week before.

Deputy prosecutor Dolly Hunt said that Benham had been evaluated and found drug dependent. She said Benham had not had a DOSA previously. Her criminal record includes 11 felonies for crimes like burglary and theft. Hunt said she had talked with the victim, who took no position on sentencing, but did not want future contact with Benham.

Defense attorney Robin McCroskey said that Benham had a long history of drug use.

“She said this is God’s way of getting her out of Pend Oreille County,” McCroskey said. “She wants to move and get on with her life.”

Benham initially did not want to make a statement but under questioning by Monasmith, said that because of her past criminal record, she has had regular contact with law enforcement, who asked her about various thefts.

“Every time I turned around, the police were at my house asking if I had robbed someone,” Benham said. She said she always cooperated because she wants to be a better person. She said her record followed her and that people in Pend Oreille County were biased against her. Anyone else would have gotten a trespassing charge instead of burglary, she said.

Benham, who was wearing latex gloves inside the home she was charged with burglarizing and had several items from the house in her pockets at the time of her arrest, said she had no intention of burglarizing the house. The door was open and she was just looking around, she said.

“I got high and tweeked around the house,” she said, after she had a fight with her son, who had started using meth. She said she needed drug treatment.

Monasmith said that her criminal history does follow her.

“I’m hearing a lot of blaming of how law enforcement is responsible for your problems,” he said.

Monasmith said he had to decide whether to send her to prison for five or six years without drug treatment of to sentence her to 29.75 months in prison, with drug treatment, followed by 29.75 months community custody. The standard sentencing range for second-degree burglary for someone with Benham’s record is 51-68 months in prison. He said statistically the prison based drug treatment was more effective.

“You need a change of attitude, not just latitude,” Monasmith said. In the end, he said that it came down to whether the community would be best protected by having Benham get drug treatment. He said Benham’s previous seven or eight years in prison did not solve her underlying drug problem. He said that if she violated terms of the DOSA, she was going back to prison.

In addition to the 29.75 months in prison and 29.75 months of community custody, Benham was ordered to pay $1,250 in court costs, including $250 for a public defender.

Felony protection order violation nets prison

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – A man who said he has a hard time telling his wife no, was sentenced to a Drug Offender Sentencing Alternative when he appeared in Pend Oreille County Superior Court Thursday, Sept. 11.

Ronald Z. Laclair, 39, pleaded guilty Sept. 2 to felony violation of a no contact order and making a false statement to a public servant.

Deputy prosecutor Jeremy

Schmidt recommended 19 months in prison, as part of a DOSA. He said the arrest came out of a traffic stop and that none of the offenses involved violence.

Nevertheless, he recommended a prison DOSA. “Mr. Laclair hasn’t gotten the point that you can’t ignore these orders,” Schmidt said.

Defense attorney Robin McCroskey said that Laclair had pleaded guilty a year ago to violation of a foreign protection order. She said he had been out of work for

five years and wanted to put his family back together. The best way to protect the community was to have Laclair serve a prison based DOSA. “It’s not like he’s going to walk out,” she said.

Laclair said that he had been doing the same thing for the last seven or eight years – abusing drugs.

Pend Oreille County Superior Court Judge Pat Monasmith said that Laclair’s drug addiction had SEE FELONY, 6A

WOLVES: are protected as an endangered species FROM PAGE 4A

in cooperative agreements with WDFW and others to reduce the risk of predator conflict. But other ranching interests oppose them. Before this grazing season started, the rancher whose sheep got mixed up with the Huckleberry Pack was offered cooperative agreements and conflict avoidance resources from both WDFW and Washington State University, but he declined.

Since mid-August, the state has had to spend tens of thousands of precious taxpayer dollars providing riders, helicopter sharpshooters, and other assets to reduce conflict in the Huckleberry area. All of that occurred after the wolves had been preying on sheep for several weeks, during which time the rancher thought he had a cougar problem. It’s not easy to put toothpaste back in a tube or to un-teach wolves to eat sheep.

We can’t fully understand this episode without knowing what happened prior to WDFW’s arrival in mid-August. Was it enough for the rancher to have a single herder and four dogs with these 1,800 sheep in rough terrain? While that amount of herd attention is lawful, more early effort might have prevented so much loss, cost and drama.

Some have asked why the state didn’t share radio collar location data with the rancher during the early season. Since wolves are state protected as an endangered species, the sharing of their locations is rightly a sensitive matter. The state generally only shares collar location data with ranchers who have signed a cooperative agreement that reasonably guides the use of that information and other aspects of conflict avoidance work. This operator could have had that location data and other resources if he, like many other ranchers, had accepted the cooperative agreement offered to him.

Having collar location data might not have changed much. The rancher was already well aware of the general location of the Huckleberry Pack, which was known to have denned nearby each of the past three years. It’s also likely the wolves howled and left other signs of their presence that alert herders might have noticed.

Adjusting to the new presence of wolves in Washington is a challenge. But they are here to stay, with a large majority of the state’s citizens supporting their healthy recovery. Like all wildlife, wolves are a resource belonging to the people of the state even when they are on private property. It’s important to also note that new WDFW disclosures show most of the sheep depredations actually occurred on public Department of Natural Resources land, outside the boundaries of the rancher’s leased private land.

The goal for all of us is to find ways to coexist, so we can have healthy wolves and wild ecosystems right along with successful ranches and healthy agricultural production. That goal is achievable in our region, but will take people working diligently together to see it realized.

Conservation Northwest wants to help.

Newport considers changing insurance

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT - The Newport City Council heard a presentation from Cities Insurance Association of Washington about liability insurance at its regular meeting Monday, Sept. 15.

About a month previously, the Association for Washington Cities had made a presentation for Newport’s business. Both are risk pools. They had offered to cover the city for $74,800 a year in premiums. That was about $8,700 less than their current carrier, Cities Insurance Association of Washington.

City attorney and county prosecu-

tor Tom Metzger said Cities Insurance Association of Washington had made some changes in how they figured premiums. Previously, they had not given cities like Newport credit for managing risk effectively.

Metzger said he asked about the city’s loss ration, the amount the pool had to pay out on Newport claims compared to premiums. The rating was 14 percent, meaning for every $100 the city pays in premiums, the insurance pool pays $14 in claims. Metzger said he was told that could go as low as 4 percent next year.

City councilman Brad Hein said no premium numbers were discussed at the Monday night meeting.

broad effects on everyone he was around.

“You need to take this seriously or you’re going back to prison,” he said.

He sentenced Laclair to 19 months in prison, with part of the time spent in drug treatment. He also ordered Laclair pay $1,000 in court costs.

According to the statement of probable cause, Laclair and his wife were driving a pickup down Highway 2 when a sheriff’s deputy noticed that they had an unsecured load and that they were travelling 43 mph in a 60 mph zone.

When he pulled them over, he found the female driver had a suspended license and was the protected person in a order. He asked Laclair who he was and he said he didn’t have identification and provided a false name.

While he was talking with her, he saw Laclair pull something out of his back pocket. The deputy thought it was a gun, so he pulled his. It turned out to be a wallet and a silver dollar.

The wallet had Laclair’s real identification in it.

Laclair told the deputy he was helping his wife move.

He said he lied because he didn’t want to go back to jail.

“As far as insurance goes, I want to see more options,” he said. He said he would like to see numbers from another insurance provider.

Hein said he was impressed by the pre-litigation coverage offered by Cities Insurance Association of Washington was attractive. It allowed the city to get legal assistance as soon it got word about a potential lawsuit.

City administrator Ray King said that getting an apples-to-apples comparison was the key, so administrators and council members would know exactly what they are paying for and what they are getSEE INSURANCE, 7A

Miles of pillowcase smiles The Local North Eastern Washington ConKerr Cancer Chapter held its annual Miles of Pillowcase Smiles event Thursday, Sept. 11. Seventeen members of the Me Too Quilt Squad from Newport helped to create 500 pillowcases for Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital, Shriners Hospital for Children, and the Ronald McDonald House. The pillowcases add a touch of home and security for the kids. In honor of Childhood Cancer Month, ConKerr volunteers are committed to creating more than 44,000 pillowcases (20 miles) during September, each one representing a child currently in treatment. Last year more than 64,000 pillowcases were sewn nationwide.

Fundraiser Sept. 20 for injured couple GREEN BLUFF – There is a dinner and silent auction being held to benefit Chris and Marcy Wetzel, at Cannon’s Edge on Greenbluff, Saturday, Sept. 20, from 5-9 p.m. Tickets are $50 each.

All proceeds will go to the “Chris and Marcy Wetzel For the Love Fund.”

The Wetzels were critically injured while attempting to secure their boat in the freak storm that hit Diamond Lake late July, taking down trees and damaging property around the lake.

Chris Wetzel is continuing his recovery at home but she is now at the North

Idaho Advanced Care Hospital in Post Falls with a long road of recovery ahead of her. The costs – medical, emotional and financial – are proving to be a great challenge, organizers said.

If you are unable to attend the event, but wish to donate to this cause you may make a check out to “Chris and Marcy Wetzel For the Love Fund,” and either take it to a STCU Branch where they have an account set up, or send it to the attention of Mark Lipton, c/o Northwestern Mutual, Marycliff Center, 705 W. 7th Ave., Spokane, WA 99204.

Christmas concert will benefit YES NEWPORT – Members of the community are invited to participate in the first annual charity Christmas concert Dec. 14 at 6:30 p.m.

Individuals and church choirs are encouraged to participate.

Priest Lake blood drive planned for Sept. 30 PRIEST LAKE – A blood drive will be held at Priest Lake, organized by the Inland Northwest Blood Center and Priest Lake Community Blood Drive volunteers, led by Bob and Cheryl Ekler. The drive is Tuesday, Sept. 30, noon to 3 p.m. at St. Blanches Church, next to the Tamarak Center on Highway 57.

The INBC needs an average of 200 blood donors every day to meet the needs of more than 35 hospitals in the Inland Northwest.

A single donation can save the lives of up to three people.

Coffee house concert series at Cutter METALINE FALLS – The Cutter Theatre is hosting a coffee-house concert series in September. Guitarist Paul Grove will be featured Saturday, Sept. 20 and on Sunday, Sept. 28, Donivan Johnson will be featured on the grand piano.

The concerts are 3-6 p.m.

The artists will play three 3045 minute sets in the Green Room of The Cutter Theatre.

Beverages for purchase will include a variety of soft drinks, wine, beer and espresso-based drinks, while “munchies” snacks will be available on the tables.

There is no “curtain” at a specific time, and the performers are encouraged to interact with the audience.

The Green Room will be set with tables and chairs, with beverages available at the concession kitchen.

Artistic Director Tara Le-

ininger said the Coffee House Concerts are a laid-back approach to enjoying a musical performance at The Cutter.

“We’re taking the concert out of the auditorium and letting a more intimate experience occur,” Leininger said.

“We hope that people will come and go as they please, talk with the performers during breaks between sets and enjoy a latte.”

Grove is a familiar performer at the Cutter having played in both the Gallery and on the stage in the Cutter Theatre.

He is known nationally at concerts such as the Easter Music Festival and the Guitar Northwest Festival, and is the recipient of the prestigious Guitar Foundation of American completion.

Grove has a degree from the Peabody Conservatory of John Hopkins University and his PhD is in Russian music.

WSU: Hiring eight new positions FROM PAGE 1

all three public school districts – Newport, Selkirk and Cusick. The Food Sense Program provides nutritional education for grades 1-11.

Wendy Drum heads up the program, which also provides education on the Kalispel Indian Reservation.

Jensen said the funding is there to expand the Food Sense program. He anticipates hiring one part time worker and one full time worker for the program. He said the new hires could start fairly soon.

“We’ll start bringing people on board in October. Maybe,” he said.

The county is scrambling to prepare the Garden Avenue building. It needs a new roof and some American with Disabilities Act work. Jensen has assured the county that he will be able to work with whatever they provide.

One of the things that will have to be done is providing Internet wiring for the building so Extension can take advantage of their new

desktop video conferencing ability.

Extension is probably best known for 4-H programs. One of the newest clubs is the Pend Oreille Union 4-H club, a 4-H club for the Kalispel Tribe, just one of two tribal 4-H clubs in the nation.

Carol Mack had been working with the tribe even before the formation of the new club.

Mack going to half time to spend more time with her granddaughter freed up some money for a volunteer coordinator, another of the new hires.

Pend Oreille County provides about $80,000 for Extension, Jensen said. The county will pay the salary of the volunteer coordinator and WSU will pay for benefits. They also pay part of Jensen’s salary. Extension also has an economic development component, Jensen says.

He is the only one from Extension working on economic development.

He said when thinking of economic development, he looks at the needs of the community.

“We begin with that end in mind,” he says.

“The focus is how we help the kids.”

Newport head coach Zac Farnam said the Grizzlies made too many mistakes and did not move the ball well enough on offense to win the game.

“Priest River was able to expose us up the middle a few times on option and counter option,” Farnam said. “Priest River’s kids played well and made a few more plays than we were able to make.”

After a scoreless first half, the Spartans hit the scoreboard first in the third period.

Selkirk fumbled too much for win

BY DESIREÉ HOOD OF THE MINER

IONE – The Selkirk Rangers lost to the Pateros Billygoats 50-26, Friday, Sept. 12, because of too many mistakes ON DECK: including three AT CLARK FORK: Friday, fumbles and Sept. 19, 7 p.m. two dropped touchdown passes, head coach Kelly Cain said.

“We competed very well with them, but made far too many mistakes to win,” Cain said.

Cain said they received the opening kickoff but fumbled the first play in the game. Pateros capitalized on the short field and scored for a quick 8-0 lead.

“We then drove the football 65 yards to their 20, only to fumble again,” Cain said. “They scored on a long pass play and took a 16-0 lead.”

Gaining a little momentum, Ranger sophomore Jacob Couch intercepted

a pass and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown. After one more scoring pass from Pateros, senior Dominic Cain ran in a seven-yard rush for the touchdown with less than a minute left in the first half, making the score 24-14.

Coach Cain said the Rangers held the Billygoats on their first drive after the half and junior Brady Filler blocked the punt. On a 50-yard pass, the Rangers scored again when junior Damon Volquardsen caught the pass for the touchdown. The score was 24-20, Pateros.

Coach Cain said the final fumble came on a kickoff by Pateros, again leaving the Billygoats in the short field. Pateros scored again and the Rangers could never rally back, the coach said. The final score was 5026.

“We committed way too many mistakes to come out on top,” Coach Cain said. “If we are going to win these types of games, we are going to have to play much cleaner.”

Ranger quarterback Dominic Cain was 20 for 40 attempts for 218 yards and one touchdown. He had nine carries for 132 yards and two touchdowns. Couch had nine receptions for

“Defensively Noah Bailey had a really good game,” Coach Cain said.

“He spent a lot of time in their backfield.”

PRIEST RIVER – The Priest River Spartan volleyball team played their first Intermountain League match against Kellogg Tuesday, Sept. 16.

The Spartans lost in five sets.

Saturday, Sept. 20, the Spartans played in the Lakeland Invitational.

Priest River played some larger schools at Lakeland and didn’t fare well.

They lost to Lewis and Clark of Spokane 25-11, 25-12. They played Clarkston next, losing 25-16, 25-13.

They then played Bonners Ferry winning 25-15, 25-15. That put them into the tournament, where they played Deer Park and University High Schools junior varsity teams.

They beat Deer Park 25-17, 25-18 and University 25-10 and 25-18.

“They were both very good teams,” Goins said.

That put them in the championship game with Bonners Ferry. Bonners Ferry won that match 25-20, 25-15.

“I think we just got tired,” Goins said. “About every hour and a half we had a game. It’s a long tournament and great practice for the state tournament.”

Priest River played at Bonners Ferry Tuesday after deadline. They will travel to Newport Wednesday, Sept. 17 for a match that starts at 7 p.m. They will play in the Bonners Ferry Tournament Saturday, Sept.

Selkirk came back in the fourth set to win 25-18, taking the match 3-1.

The Rangers had some good serving of their own, with Amanda Heim serving two aces and freshman Syvana Warren serving three. Lexy Ellsworth had a half dozen kills.

NEWPORT – The ranch bronc riding is fast becoming a premier event at northwest rodeos. A throwback to the days of early rodeo, contestants compete in a regular stock saddle and don’t have to abide by pesky rules like riding with just one hand. And the harder horses buck, the better they like it, according to stock contractor Mark McMillan.

“The saddle bronc riders don’t like those nasty, out of line horses,” McMillan said. In regular saddle bronc riding, spurring a horse is pretty much needed to win, including starting the ride with spurs above the break of the horse’s shoulder when the horse’s front feet hit the ground. So saddle bronc riders favor horses that buck with rhythm.

Ranch bronc riders aren’t

bothered by such things.

“The wilder they are, the better they like ’em,” McMillan said.

So the toughest horses Saturday were in the ranch bronc riding.

David Gordon of Pendleton and Aaron Hammer of Newport split the event with 85-point scores, the highest scores of the show. They each collected $560 each for their rides, Gordon aboard Black Betty and Hammer on French Lady. Josh Canode of Soap Lake won third and $320 for an 82-point ride.

Francis Marchand of Omak won the bareback riding with a 79-point ride on Sandy Bob. He won $350 for the ride.

Marchand competed in all four events, either winning money or getting bucked off. He won fourth in the saddle bronc riding with a 71 score, picking up another $160. He was the only SEE BRONCS, 8B

OVERALL PROJECTION OF TEAM’S CHANCES IN THE INTERMOUNTAIN LEAGUE: Coach Douglas said the players are hard workers. He said they are young this year overall, but feels they can make a competitive run this year in league.

STRENGTHS: Coach Douglas said the athleticism and work ethic is good, which allows them to have players play multiple positions.

WEAKNESSES: Coach Douglas said the pure number of kids on the team this year is a weakness. They will have to stay healthy to compete at a high level by the end of the year.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: “This combination of players this year while being low in numbers, might just be one of those teams that really can bring it together to achieve something great as a true team effort,” Douglas said. “The players know we have to be in great shape and be able to fill in at multiple positions to achieve our goals.”

WEAKNESSES: “We needed to replace two setters this year,” Zimmerman says. “That is never easy. The new setters are doing a great job, but there is a learning curve with any new setters.”

Cusick volleyball wins first Selkirk contest

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

CUSICK – The Cusick Panthers swept Selkirk in three sets Tuesday, Sept 16, winning 25-17, 25-20, 25-17.

“Both teams came out strong and competitive and played well for it being their first match,” Cusick coach Ashley Keogh said.

Cusick started strong, running up a 11-3 first set lead.

Cusick would not have been the choice of opponent for Selkirk coach Pam Zimmerman. She didn’t have her entire team eligible for competition, as some players didn’t have the minimum number of practices.

“They’re all eligible for the next game,” Zimmerman said.

Zimmerman said the girls were a little nervous

‘Both teams came out strong and competitive and played well for it being their first match.’

showed strength at the net, but that Cusick’s serving was superior.

Selkirk came back from the 11-3 first set deficit to make the second set more competitive but still lost 25-17. They played stronger the next set, falling to Selkirk 25-20 before losing the final set 25-17.

Zimmerman said the Rangers graduated their experienced setters. Lauren McGeorge, a junior,

did well in her new position, she said.

“She’s been stepping up,” Zimmerman said.

She had a pair of kills in the match. Lexy Ellsworth had four kills for the Rangers.

Keogh said both teams will be competitive in the Northeast 1B North League.

The teams are scheduled to play each other again Nov. 1 in Selkirk.

contestant to win money in more than one event.

The saddle bronc riding was split between Jacob Stacy of Ephrata and Dustin Hobbs of Wenatchee. Hobbs accepted a re-ride when his horse didn’t buck hard enough the first time. He scored 80 points to tie with Stacy on his re-ride horse, Painted Warrior. Stacy rode a horse called Blond Bomber. Each collected $560. Caleb Nichols won third and $320 for a 75-point ride and Lewiston’s Cody Brauchner won fourth with a 79, winning $160.

Bull riders had it hard, with only two qualified rides. Jace Berg of Colville

rode Big Enough to take the win with a 77-point ride. Caleb McMillan won second with a 73-point ride. Berg was the high money winner of the event, cashing a check for $1,050. McMillan won $700.

The mutton busting made its debut at the Rough Stock Invitational, after it was so popular at the Bull-A-Rama.

Each of the young contestants received a silver dollar and a participation plaque.

Prior to the event, the Newport Rodeo Association named their 2015 Rodeo Queen, Johnna Fitzmorris.

First runner up went to Crystal Cronoble, second runner up went to Brittaney Jackson and third runner up went to Brittany Biss.

doesn’t want to rush anything, so she’ll wait until game time to know for sure.

Their loss was felt, but Cusick played better in their final match with TekoaRosalia. They lost the first match 25-20, then came back to win 27-25 and 15-10.

“Cusick came out with much more fire in their final match against Tekoa-Rosalia, a very solid team,” Keogh said. That gave Cusick a 1-2 record for the tourna-

ment.

“There are definite areas of improvement for Cusick but we feel confident those will be addressed and improvements will occur as the season continues,” Keogh said.

Cusick played at Northport after deadline Tuesday. They will host Republic and Curlew Saturday, Sept. 20. They’ll host Inchelium for a Northeast 1B North League contest that will start at 5 p.m.

Tuesday, Sept. 23.

SOCCER: Played well in the first half FROM PAGE 1B

“There were not a lot of highlights in this one. Despite the score, we played well at times – particularly in the first half,” Lewis said. “They were a better, faster team but certainly gave us some ideas on how we want to look.”

Iris Strangeowl was good in goal, as she

gets more experience, Lewis said. Stephanie Huang, Tiffany Huang , and Gracie Strangeowl all competed well and played hard.

Newport started Northeast A League play Tuesday against Freeman Tuesday night, after The Miner went to press.

They host Deer Park in another league game Tuesday, Sept. 23, at 4 p.m.

FOOTBALL: Newport had 59 plays FROM PAGE 1B

Grizzly junior Otis Smith completed a fouryard pass to junior Kyler Zorica, putting up the only Grizzly TD with 30 seconds left in the quarter. Senior David Quandt made the point after kick for the Grizzlies.

Priest River dominated the fourth quarter with two more touchdowns.

After a failed fourth down fake punt that included an incomplete pass on the Spartan’s 35-yard line, the Grizzlies handed the ball over with about seven minutes left in the game and a 7 to 6 lead.

Farnam said the team ran a fake punt the first quarter without it being planned. He called the fake punt in the fourth quarter to keep the ball out of the Spartans’ hands, but it failed, setting up the Spartan go ahead touchdown.

“That was more where I felt Priest River was moving the ball really well,” Farnam said. He said he didn’t want to give them a chance to score, which happened shortly after the failed conversion.

Sophomore Spartan Anthony Storro ran in a 7-yard rush with about six and a half minutes remaining in the game. This put the Spartans up 12-7. Storro attempted a run for the two-point conversion but failed to make the endzone.

Slinger had a 22-yard run with just under three minutes remaining in the game for the Spartans that made the final score 19-7. This time, Huntley made the point after kick for the Spartans.

“In the second half, we controlled the ball much better and finished off some key drives,” Douglas said. “The line did an outstanding job blocking and picking up blitzing backers in the second half.”

The Spartans had 229 yards in 54 plays.

They had 165 rushing yards with 10 completed receptions and 11 first downs.

Slinger and Storro led the team in rushing

with 12 carries each, gaining 129 yards and 25 yards respectively. Senior Jeremy MacDonald had six receptions earning 22 yards and senior Jeris Beaver had three catches for 31 yards.

Slinger led the defense for the Spartans with eight and a half tackles. Senior Chance Stokes had seven tackles and two interceptions and Joseph Swartz and Benson Huntley each had six tackles. Junior Ethan Harrison also had an interception.

“The game was a complete team effort, I give them all the credit,” Douglas said.

“On Monday last week before the game, we had a total of just 12 varsity players suited down for one reason or another. These boys have really stepped up and took on many different roles and positions to help this team have success.”

Newport had 93 yards in 59 plays. They had 46 rushing yards with seven completed passes and five first downs. Senior Dennis Fisher led the team in rushing with 24 attempts for 60 yards. Senior Chris Burgess caught two receptions for 50 yards.

Seniors Rocky McDaniel had nine and a half tackles and David Quandt had seven and a half.

“Besides a few defensive breakdowns, I felt we played well on that side of the ball,” Farnam said.

Farnam said his team will work on competing during every down for the next game with Freeman.

“We will work on limiting penalties, turnovers and costly mistakes,” Farnam said.

The Grizzlies take on Freeman, Friday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. in Freeman. This is a Northeast A League game for Newport.

The Spartans will have one week off before returning to play against Clarkston on Friday, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. at home in a non-league game.
