DIAMOND LAKE – A long simmering dispute between the owners of a vacation rental on Diamond Lake and Pend Oreille County was brought to county commissioners during the public comment period at their meeting Monday, June 25. At issue is Inn at the Lake, a vacation rental located at 581 South Shore Road. The county maintains it is in violation of several county codes. The owners maintain since the inn has been operating before the county established land use zoning, it is grandfathered in. The county sees it differently. According to a June 18 notice of violation letter from community development director Mike Lithgow, the Inn at the Lake is in violation of the International Building Code, the county zoning code and is an unauthorized vacation rental. Lithgow said the county issued a building permit in 1991 for a three-
bedroom, four-bathroom residence. The county issued another building permit in 2006 to convert a garage into a bedroom and bathroom. But the inn represents it has seven bedrooms and baths available for

NEWPORT – It’s time to conjure that spirit of 1776 and celebrate our nation’s Independence. The Fourth of July lands in the middle of the week this year, but that won’t stop local communities from celebrating with a day of parades, barbecues, music and of course, fireworks to top it all off. On of the biggest Fourth of July events in the area, the festivities and fireworks display put on by the Kalispel Tribe of Indians, is back on for this year.

|| Border Patrol can sidestep environmental laws WASHINGTON D.C. – A new bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives June 19 gives the U.S. Boarder Patrol the authority to sidestep 16 environmental regulations on federal lands within 100 miles of the Canadian and Mexican borders. That would encompass the entire 41,335-acre Salmo-Priest Wilderness area in northern Pend Oreille County. Under restrictions for such designated wilderness areas, agents wouldn’t be able to drive vehicles through that area. It restricts motorized traffic, even bicycles. Agent James Frackelton of the Border Patrol’s Spokane sector said they could not comment on the pending legislation. Opponents have questioned the need for the bill to

Rules for park’s timber revenue still unclear NEWPORT – Pend Oreille County commissioners have considered using money from a timber sale on county park land to help balance the general fund budget. While a resolution passed by a previous board states that any revenue from trees cut within the park must be used for park projects, the commissioners may be able to change the resolution and use the money elsewhere.
Once some issues are resolved they could distribute $41,420 in funds to six organizations. The Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce and the Cutter Theatre were approved for funds for two projects. SEE ECONOMIC, 7A

Commissioner John Hankey spoke with staff from the Department of Natural Resources, who gave the county the park land four years ago. He said there is some gray area as to how the money can be used. “It’s understood that it’s supposed to be put back into recreation,” he said, “but it’s never been tested.” It isn’t written in the deed for the Section 16 property that the harvest revenue must go to parks, he said. The board has made no decisions about the park money yet.

When there are too many contestants in any event to have a fast paced rodeo, some compete in the slack. The gate for the rodeo was similar to last year, with 600 tickets sold at the gate Friday and 1,000 Sunday, according to Nick Tucker of the rodeo committee. The numbers for presold tickets weren’t

RENTAL | Letter describes two events last summer FROM PAGE 1
The inn is currently on property zoned R5. Without a conditional use permit, commercial activity is not permitted, Lithgow wrote. The Inn at the Lake is being operated as a vacation rental but it doesn’t have a vacation rental permit and therefore doesn’t conform to county code, Lithgow said. The county ordered the owners to correct the violations by July 6. They can appeal to the planning commission, Lithgow said, which has the last word on the matter as far as the county is concerned. The next step is Superior Court. The Inn at the Lake is owned by Gayle Cagianut through the Cagianut Family Trust. Her husband, Joe Cagianut, spoke during the public comment portion of the county commissioners’ meeting Monday. Reading from prepared remarks, Cagianut said the Inn has been operating for almost 20 years, long before the county had a vacation rental ordinance. He said the property was grandfathered in as a nonconforming use because it had been operating so long. The business operated transparently, he said, paid its taxes and was inspected annually as part of its bed and breakfast permit issued by the state. “I strongly urge the commissioners to stop this process now before going any further down this road,” Cagianut said. “It is a huge public relations black eye for the county and the longer it goes on the more embarrassing and costly it will become. We are asking the commissioners to issue a letter this week rescinding the violation.” The county commissioners listened but did not comment on Cagianut’s remarks. The inn is located near the home of Tom and Diane Metzger. Although Metzger is county prosecutor, because he made a complaint against the vacation rental, he isn’t representing the county in this action. Spokane attorney Stanley Schwartz was hired because Metzger had a conflict of interest. He is being paid an hourly rate from the prosecutor’s professional services budget. Schwartz and Cagianut’s attorney, Stacy Bjordahl, had been in contact last year, so the violation notice was a surprise to Cagianut. He said in early October Bjordahl wrote to Schwartz outlining what Bjordahl said were the issues. The response came eight months later in the form of a notice of violation. In a letter dated Oct. 6, 2011, Bjordahl wrote that the 7,000 square foot property was constructed in 1995. It consists of seven suites, each with its own bathroom and parking space. The property is licensed by the
state as transient lodging and state rules regarding transient lodging are stricter than the county rules, Bjordahl wrote. Since the inn was operating before the county established vacation rental and building codes, its rights to continue to operate, including operating an event center, was considered an acceptable non conforming use. Bjordahl wrote that the property owners were willing to comply with certain sections of the vacation rental regulations. They would submit a property management plan, a site plan limited to emergency shutoff locations and a life and safety checklist. They weren’t willing to apply for a vacation rental permit, as that would nullify their non-conforming rights, Bjordahl wrote. The Metzgers, who live next door, answered with a letter of their own to community development director Mike Lithgow dated Oct. 26, 2011. The Metzgers make several claims in their letter. They say the inn was not properly permitted for its current use and size. Its rights to use the property as events center and vacation rental were never properly established. The inn changed hands, Metzger wrote, thus ending any grandfathering provisions to the county vacation rental code. The letter also describes two events in July 2011. “It looked like some type of competition where two different groups, less than a week apart, competed to see who could fit the most cars, tents and people on this 75-foot wide strip of land located a few feet from my residence,” Metzger wrote. Metzger said he counted a dozen cars and a trailer on the property July 24, with another six cars on the county right of way and another four cars parked on a neighbor’s property. The next week a new group stayed at the inn. In addition to vehicles, a trailer and a cargo trailer, there were eight tents on the property. Metzger said he counted 35 people. He took photos and videos, he wrote. “We believe that this level of over usage is causing a fundamental change in the character of our neighborhood and we want this change to stop!” Metzger wrote. Cagianut said the inn conducts business responsibly and that the county should be encouraging businesses like Inn at the Lake. “Just last week the Chefs of America stayed at the Inn while teaching local schools about healthy cooking,” he wrote. He said the money they spent helps with county tax revenues. “The county should use the Inn as an example of how to best enhance tourist growth in this area.”

DIAMOND | Sewell did the survey FROM PAGE 1
mit to the Diamond Lake Improvement Association for installing the beaver tubes. WDFW habitat biologist Jeff Lawlor wonders what is slowing the water flow through the system. A survey done by Sewell Engineers and paid for by DLIA showed that the beaver dam is two feet lower than the lake level. “You can’t back water up from something that’s lower,” Lawlor said. He said more likely it’s the dense vegetation in the lake’s outlet that’s slowing the flow. Just beyond the manicured lawn and the sprawling gardens that Cheryl Balentine and her husband Bob Balentine tend, narrow trails lead to the wetland area. It’s thick with reed canary grass – a noxious weed that was supposed to be sprayed for last Friday, a project funded by the Diamond Lake Improvement Association. But the grass had overgrown the creek and the water dropped low enough to prevent access, said Sharon Sorby, the county’s weed control coordinator. Bob Balentine thinks the problem is upstream of North Shore Road. Taking a break from yard work on a hot Friday afternoon, he said the water is not moving at his place.
Beaver permits under appeal The permit for installing beaver tubes was issued June 6. Work can start any time, but DLIA board members have said if they do put in beaver tubes they would likely wait until the fall when the lake level is down in order to keep from releasing too much water downstream and flooding Sacheen Lake. The permit states that the tubes be sized and located in the dams to mimic the natural stream flow. The placement and operation of the tubes should help maintain even flow of water in the system and maintain the wetlands to their historic levels. It also requires that a staff gauge be placed at the site of the beaver tubes, and a record must be kept of the tube height to facilitate in re-setting the tubes should they move. The permit also allows for the dredging of a 100-yard long sec-
tion of Moon Creek. The DLIA board has looked into dredging, but it seems it will be a very expensive endeavor. The permit is subject to a 30-day appeal period, which would last through July 6. Appeals can be directed to WDFW HPA Appeals Coordinator, 600 Capitol Way N., Olympia, WA 98501-1091 or emailed to HPAapplications@dfw. wa.gov. Lawlor said they received no comments when they ran the State Environmental Policy Act process. The process was different than when it goes through the local government and adjoining property owners are notified. He said that would probably change once the county has adopted its shoreline plan. Before work starts with the beaver tubes, WDFW is asked that they be notified.
Accessing dams may be an issue There has been questions as to whether crews working to install beaver tubes would be able to access the land. Waterways are public, but in some cases like at Moon Creek, the private property owner has ownership of the land under the water. Lawlor had his staff consult the prosecutor’s office. Their interpretation was that the landowner owns the land under the water, but they don’t own the beaver dams. That would allow the people installing the beaver tubes to canoe down the creek and get out of the boat on the dam. By that interpretation, the beaver tube crew probably doesn’t need permission, but the prosecutors suggest they still contact the landowner. The hydraulic permit states that WDFW does not authorize trespassing. Lawlor said things kind of got off on the wrong foot at Moon Creek. Some Diamond Lake residents canoed down the stream and began dismantling the dam this spring. A neighbor got pictures and took down license plate numbers to turn in to the WDFW officer. The officer visited the offenders and issued warnings. Sacheen Lake residents have been maintaining beaver tubes in that lake’s outlet for some years now. Access has been a problem

Canary grass to be treated As the first attempt to get water flowing out of Diamond Lake, DLIA hired a licensed applicator to spray weeds in the outlet, who was supposed to do the work Friday, June 22. Working from a canoe, applicators would have sprayed Touchdown herbicide, which has glyphosate as the active ingredient. As a result, the grass will turn a yellow or light green, then wrinkle up and drop like it does in the fall. The water level and highdensity of the weeds prevented access last week. Sorby said they are looking into alternative approaches. Reed canary grass is a Class C weed, meaning that it’s already widespread in Washington and the county can enforce control of it if it’s beneficial. It was listed with the state Noxious Weed Control Board in 1995. The non-native type of canary grass has been in Pend Oreille County since the 1940s, Sorby said. That’s when it was introduced as a pasture and hay forage for wet areas. It now infests every water body, she said. For wildlife, primarily waterfowl, it is a less desirable habitat structure. “Just the other day, we watched as three otters gobbled down three wood ducklings because they didn’t have adequate cover to hide in, as all there was for hiding in was the reed canary grass,” Sorby said. The weed treatment may help for now, but the grass has an extensive root system and will likely return. Commissioner Diane Wear said Monday she will be meeting with Gov. Chris Gregiore’s eastern Washington representative Sheila Collins to discuss the water level issue. DLIA president Geri Guinn requested the association be involved in any conversation with the governor’s office. One member has already contacted the governor’s office for state help. The county has ordered no wakes on the lake until the level goes down. But heavy rain has kept the level from dropping.

Hung jury in driving case NEWPORT – A Pend Oreille County District Court jury was unable to reach a verdict in the case of Robert L. Vogtman, 39, of Newport, resulting in a mistrial June 18. Vogtman was charged with second degree driving without a license. The case was prosecuted by Dana Kelly, who prosecutes cases for the city of Newport. A new trial is scheduled for Aug. 28. The defense was that the Washington State Department of Licensing had not adequately informed Vogtman his license was suspended, according to defense attorney Robin McCroskey. Judge Philip Van de Veer sent the jury back to deliberate further when they first told him they were unable to come to an agreement. He did the same thing when they came back about an hour later and said they hadn’t reached a unanimous verdict. The third time they said they couldn’t come to unanimous agreement, he declared a mistrial.

Lumpkin, who had been held on $50,000 bond, was released. Prosecutors said that they weren’t getting cooperation from a key witness and couldn’t bring Lumpkin to trial within 60 days, as required by law. They dismissed the charges but reserved the option to bring them back after further investigation. In late May, Lumpkin was found not guilty in a jury trial in Pend Oreille County Superior Court of two counts of harassment/threats to kill, a burglary charge and a fourth degree assault domestic violence charge.

Elections supervisor Liz Krizenesky looks over the ballot tabulating machine in the new, secure elections room for Pend Oreille County. A large window will allow people to observe the process from her office.
County election room ready for observers BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER
NEWPORT – When the ballots are tabulated for the primary election this August, candidates, political party observers and interested voters will be able to watch the process in the newly remodeled elections room for Pend Oreille County. “With this new facility we are hoping to draw more election observers to see the transparency first-hand of the election process,” auditor Marianne Nichols said. Her office will be sending information to the political parties regarding an observer training session they’ll be holding prior to the election. To prevent tampering, ballots will be handled in a secure room on the top floor of the Pend Oreille County Courthouse in Newport. For those wanting to watch over the process, there’s a large window that looks into the secure room. Observers can look on from the corner office where elections supervisor Liz Krizenesky
has her desk. When a representative from Washington’s Secretary of State’s office observed the election last fall, she felt there were too many people in the small elections office to securely handle elections. From time to time, staff had to move from their work stations in order to let people pass in the crowded room. “We think that having more room will make ballot processing more efficient and secure,” Nichols said. The elections room swapped spaces with the employee lunch-

NEWPORT – An arrest has been made in the June 8 incident just north of Diamond Lake where a speeding vehicle crashed into a yard as it was being pursued by a Washington State Patrol trooper. On June 8, Trooper Kyle Witt attempted to stop a vehicle that was traveling at a high rate of speed on Highway 2 just north of Diamond Lake. The driver did not stop but attempted a high-speed turn where he lost control and crashed through a ditch and into a yard. The suspect driver then fled the collision scene on foot through the woods. The suspect was tracked by use of a Border Patrol K-9 but was not located. Information collected at the scene from the male and female passengers in the suspect vehicle helped Trooper Witt identify the driver as 19-year-old Chaize T. Exkano of Newport.
Witt spent the last two weeks following leads but none of them led him to Exkano until Thursday morning, June 21. Witt received information that Exkano was holed up in the Downtowner Motel at Second and Washington in Spokane. Witt was able to obtain enough information from motel staff to confirm that someone fitting Exkano’s description was at the motel. Witt and multiple troopers from the Spokane area staked out the motel with a picture of Exkano until they observed him leave where he was subsequently taken into custody without incident. Exkano was booked into the Pend Oreille County Jail on three misdemeanor warrants and one felony warrant that was issued as a result of the June 8 incident. He is currently being held without bond in the Pend Oreille County Jail.

Governor candidates need to explain their positions I hope the next debate engaged in by our two major candidates for governor has more I’s in it and less you’s and he’s. That is, I want to hear each, Democrat Jay Inslee and Republican Rob McKenna, say “this is what I am going to do about job creation or education” or whatever rather than a lot of “You’re making promises you can’t fulfill,” Inslee to McKenna, or “He opposes tax reductions for any purpose,” McKenna about Inslee. Here’s some more out of their first debate in Spokane: Inslee, “I am concerned he will reduce environmental protection.” McKenna, “He never met a regulation he didn’t like.” Inslee, “You’ve been in political office 16 years and only worked on a budget once, as a King County councilman. Your colleagues deposed you.” McKenna, “When you were in Congress, you voted for a series of bills that contributed to the housing crisis. If you were in Congress today, would you vote that people with poor credit could buy houses?” Inslee, “He blames people (for the housing crisis). I blame Wall Street. Were there some involved in over their heads? Yes. The economy collapsed due to Wall Street irresponsibility.” McKenna, “Public-private partnership can be an effective tool but the people running Olympia are too ready to raise taxes. The voters felt taxes were too high already.” Inslee, “You supported multiple tax increases when you were on the city council. He is my way or the highway. We need to bring people together.” Now what did you learn from all that? What kind of governor the man would be or mostly the reasons why you shouldn’t vote

Inslee wants to excuse high tech new companies from paying business and occupation taxes for three years from startup. Some companies would get a tax credit. He wants to pay businesses $4,000 out of the general fund for each new job they establish, which he claims would put the 280,000 jobless Washingtonians to work, generating more money for schools. McKenna would find his billion by cutting government where he could. He would repeal the doctrine of joint and several liability. He should explain that. He would not fill state employee vacancies created by attrition. He would have a better handle on state employee contracts unlike Gary Locke and Christine Gregoire who toadied to the unions. He would move Medicaid from fee for service to managed care. He needs to explain that. Inslee would raise what state employees pay for health insurance from 15 to 25 percent. On

America in peril To the editor: On July 4, 1776, a group of God fearing, Bible believing men founded America, and because of their love for God and his holy word, the Bible, America was blessed tremendously, and became the greatest nation on earth. God’s symbols were everywhere: scriptures, crosses, Bibles and the Ten Commandments all displayed in the public place. The Bible says, Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Now god and his symbols have all been removed by the ruling un-godly atheist, and according to their law. Who would ever think this could happen? Should we not be surprised why our country has been deteriorating in the past several years? A TV preacher said that he had been keeping track each time our government cursed God, and just how long before another curse falls on America. In 1973 our unelected Supreme Court ruled it legal to murder the unborn in the case Roe v. Wade. On Jan. 22, 2011, the 38th anniversary of the

of high school students with jobs is at its lowest level in more than 20 years. In 1990, 32 percent of high school students held jobs, compared to 16 percent today. The anemic economy is largely to blame. According to The Washington Times, sectors that traditionally offer teens their first gig, such as fast-food chains, movie theaters, malls and retailers, have become the last resort for out-ofwork college graduates or older Americans forced back into the job market.

Supreme Court ruling, Obama issued an official statement heralding their ruling to legalize abortion. The Bible says, woe unto them that call evil good and good evil. I receive the National Right to Life News. They keep records on how every politician votes concerning the abortion issue. Every time the abortion issues comes up, the Democrats vote overwhelmingly to murder the unborn. In contract, the Republicans vote overwhelmingly for pro-life. Is there something wrong here? The Bible says that the shedding of innocent blood is on the list of the six things God hates. Another religious man said, a nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope.

Supporting soldiers for political points is disrespectful
To the editor: The only D Larry Connelly needs to remember is that Democrats are just as supportive of our military as Republicans. Invoking their political religion, Republicans like Connelly proclaim their undying support just to score political points. I am thinking of the chicken hawks like Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld who sent many of our soldiers off to roadside bomb death and dismemberment in Iraq.

Deportation is in the news, nationally and locally. President Obama said his administration will not deport “certain young people who were brought to the United States as young children, do not present a risk to national security or public safety, and meet several key criteria will be considered for relief from removal from the country or from entering into removal proceedings.” Locally the U.S. Border Patrol has beefed up its contingent of agents on the border in the north part of Pend Oreille County, picking up undocumented aliens and drug smugglers. What should the U.S. do about the number of undocumented people in and coming to the country? Stop calling them undocumented. They’re breaking the law and it’s not some technicality. Round up and deport all illegals immediately. The U.S. accepts fewer immigrants than it could absorb. The U.S. should increase the number of people who can legally immigrate here.
Yes. Big profits for CEOs is what’s driving banks to be bigger, and that’s not fair when we’re in a financial crisis and banks are getting bailed out.
Something must be done. Breaking up families through deportation is inhumane. President Obama did a good thing by allowing some young people to avoid deportation. President Obama’s action was a purely political move designed to win votes in the presidential election. He should not have done it.
As I wrap up another week in the other Washington – all the way across the country from the one I call “home” – I am GUEST reminded of the wisdom left OPINION REP. CATHY behind by one MCMORRIS of America’s RODGERS greatest leadR-WASH. ers, President Ronald Reagan. He once said, “All great change in America begins at the dinner table.” And whenever I am home – meeting with small business owners struggling to expand, local health care providers wrought with uncertainty, and recent college graduates unable to find jobs – I’m reminded of his words and of his wisdom. He was right: all great change does begin at home. It begins with you. And it is because of you – your involvement, your advocacy, and your stories – that I fight every day here in this Washington to make the other one better. Not a day goes by that I don’t get phone calls, letters and emails with stories that motivate me to fight harder. Stories from families that can’t fill up their gas tanks, find new jobs, or afford to pay increasing health insurance premiums. They’re the stories of moms and dads, seniors and children. They’re the stories that inspired me to run for Congress eight years ago and the ones that keep me here today. One of Eastern Washington’s greatest resources is its vast supply of renewable energy and the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit that accompanies it. And so I’m focusing every day on domestic energy – of which Eastern Washington has a unique and unlimited supply – to lower your gas prices and promote economic growth back at home. Just this week, I joined with my colleagues across the aisle to pass the bipartisan Domestic Energy and Jobs Act – a jobs package that includes crucial measures to increase American energy production and reduce the regulatory red tape that drives up your gas prices. It comprises seven important bills, all of which would spur job growth, promote energy security, and make this country more energy independent. We can no longer rely on unstable foreign countries for our oil supply. We can no longer say “no” to job-creating projects like the Keystone XL Pipeline. And we can no longer afford rising gas prices. It’s time we start saying “yes” to American energy. And that’s exactly what we’re doing. As a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, I’m proud that my bipartisan bill, the Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act, passed in the full committee this week. As it makes its way to the House floor, I am optimistic that both Democrats and Republicans will appreciate the innumerable benefits of hydropower. Hydropower is clean, affordable, reliable and renewable. It already provides 75 percent of electricity to Eastern Washington and the Pacific Northwest region, and I am eager to expand its production to the rest of the country. It was President Obama himself who promoted an “all-ofthe-above” energy strategy. It’s time to make sure hydropower is part of it. It’s been a very busy week here in Congress – full of vigorous debate, bipartisan compromise, and legislative victory. But at night, when I’m walking through the quiet halls of the United States Capitol, I recall the conversations I have with my SEE MCMORRIS, 5A

PUD won’t need to remove power poles BRUNELL | BY MICHELLE NEDVED OF THE MINER
NEWPORT – Regardless of a property owner’s threat to cut them down himself, the Pend Oreille Public Utility District won’t be removing four power poles constructed north of Cusick along the banks of the Pend Oreille River. The county put a stop to work because the PUD did not have permits for the shoreline work. However, the county is expected to grant the permits, allowing for the continuation of the project, according to Todd McLaughlin, natural resource planner for the county. The community development department will not require the PUD remove the poles. “All shoreline violation compliance orders carry at least two
options: either restore the site to an original condition (corrective action) or apply to have the action permitted (after the fact permit),” McLaughlin wrote to property owner James Whitman. Whitman had written an email to PUD employees Sunday, June 24, stating because of the illegal place of the four 75-foot power poles and support cables on his property, prior to the 15-day public comment period, he was demanding they be removed on or before July 6. If they are not removed, he wrote, he would cut them down himself with a chainsaw. PUD crews had been working about six days before the community development department put a stop to work Wednesday, June 13. PUD general manage Jay Pickett said
the PUD got a “little ahead of ourselves.” Overhead lines that cross the river will be installed, replacing some failing underground lines there. Pickett said the PUD had its easements in place and had talked to area landowners. The district submitted the application for a shoreline permit along with its environmental checklist in early June, but it did not have the permit approved before work started. The project will be before the county planning commission at its July 10 meeting at 6 p.m. at the Cusick Community Center, 111 S. First Ave. Public comments may be submitted until July 6 to: Todd McLaughlin, Community Develoment Natural Resources Planner, PO Box 5066, Newport WA 99156.
approval to increase taxes, Inslee is not. The biggest difference between them as far as I’m concerned though is that Inslee is a greenie all the way and McKenna is not. Inslee is a tool of the environmental lobby and a believer in

Bush was two of eight on D Day and one was the 60th anniversary. Obama spoke in Normandy on the 65th anniversary. I can think of nothing more disrespectful to the sacrifices of our soldiers than to have Obama and Romney politically dueling over which one of them would be the best supporter of the military. Gee, vote for me because a soldier was killed or injured on my political behalf and I am going to make political hay from it. Any politician who wants to
honor our soldiers should do so by never sending them off to fight made-up wars like Iraq. They line their pockets with war industry profits and then want to put flowers on graves to gain political points. It’s typical Republican hypocrisy at its best. Creating military graves and then harping about who and how many times flowers get put on them. -Pete Scobby Newport

University of Washington sociology professor Charles Hirschman told the Times, “When you can’t find someone to bag your groceries or work construction, often teenagers are the labor force you can count on to pick up the slack for a low wage. But now, with the recession, everybody has moved down and these jobs aren’t going to teenagers.” Traditionally, those part-time jobs were a right of passage, teaching young people critical work skills, such as showing up on time, dealing with customers and managing their own money – in short, responsibility. Growing up in Montana, I had several part-time jobs, including delivering newspapers at age 12, working in the family garbage business at 15 and bussing tables at 16. But now those jobs are unavailable for millions of young people. Today’s fierce competition for the best four-year universities is also to blame. Prestigious universities are looking for wellrounded applicants with high grades and a lengthy roster of school activities. Meeting those standards leaves students little time for work. The job crunch has also hit college students. NCES reports that in 2000, over half of the full-time college students worked. That total has now fallen to 40 percent. College students also face skyrocketing debt, as tuition at our major universities has increased by 14 percent each of the last two years and is projected to go higher as states struggle with a sluggish economy and shortfalls in tax collections. Two out of three college students have student loans, and
5A
MCMORRIS| nationally, graduates owe a total of $1 trillion in unpaid student loans, averaging $23,000 per student. Historically, graduates could find good jobs to repay those loans, but that’s no longer the case. Students walk out of college smack into a job market with 23 million Americans who are unemployed, underemployed or who have given up looking for work. These graduates are often disillusioned, frustrated and losing hope. Pollster John Zogby calls them the CENGA generation: College Educated, Not Going Anywhere. They’ve lost faith in all of the traditional institutions including government, politics and the church. Zogby says the CENGA generation is largely responsible for the surprising number of young people who support Libertarian presidential candidate Ron Paul. Simply put, they’re against whoever’s in charge. The real problem for America is the anemic economy recovery is not producing even close to the number of jobs necessary for people entering the workforce. So what is the answer? Our elected officials must remove barriers to expanding economic opportunity. It does no good to spend billions in federal money on training and retraining programs if the jobs don’t exist. Officials must dismantle the regulatory barriers that discourage the creation of new businesses and stymie the growth of existing ones. Finally, we must find ways to make higher education more affordable so graduating seniors are not saddled with massive debt. Solving these problems won’t be easy, but it is essential if America is going to prosper and offer hope to the generations to come.

Forest restoration projects selected BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER
COLVILLE – The Colville National Forest has 21 forest restoration projects for 2012 that have been funded as part of the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Act, announced this spring. Pend Oreille County is not part of the project area. The restoration work in Ferry and Stevens counties, which officials say will create new private sector and agency jobs, was made possible by a $968,000 federal grant that will fund year one of a 10-year forest restoration project. It’s part of Forest Vision 2020 that encompasses about a million acres of federal, state, tribal and private land in Ferry and Stevens counties. The Forest Vision project area was put together as the most contiguous piece of land, while the Pend Oreille River Valley has much more private property interspersed with Forest Service land, explained Colville Forest spokesman Franklin Pemberton. “We really wanted to include areas in each of the counties. … The bulk of the projects that fit the criteria were in Ferry and Stevens counties,” said Tim Coleman, secretary of the Northeast Washington Forestry Coalition that helped draft the Forest Vision plan. Coleman is also execu-

tive director of the Kettle Range Conservation Group. “There are other things we’re hoping to do in Pend Oreille County,” he said. He noted that this recent round of funding will also benefit Pend Oreille because with the Forest Service’s budget cuts, this frees up money for other projects. “Overall, Pend Oreille County should benefit,” he said. “These projects will provide logs to the wood products industry in the Tri-County area and put people to work in Ferry and Steven’s counties,” said Russ Vaagen, President of the Northeast Washington Forestry Coalition and Vice President of Vaagen Bros. Lumber Company. “When completed these projects will improve water quality, stormproof roadways, reduce forest wildfire risk and provide local employment,” said Laura Jo West, Supervisor of the Colville National Forest. Among the projects are Deadman Creek fisheries habitat restoration, Kettle Range fuels reduction, and 4,300 acres of forest restoration thinning in Ferry and Stevens counties.

When My Honey came home from the Navy (on leave) we headed out on Our Journey to Long Beach, California. After 1-1/2 years of marriage we accepted the Lord into our lives. We have had our redeemer to guide us ever since! He never fails! We’ve met many folks all over our fantastic country to share his bountiful love. We lived in Long Beach for 11 years where Sam worked in the hardware industry. We took a marvelous trip to Hawaii and then off to San Jose where we purchased our first “Love Nest.” I had the opportunity to record 8 songs in Nashville. One was played nationwide on the radio entitled “Better & Better!” I sang for numerous events & traveled singing. I sang with Mark Richard’s Band & did TV appearances. After 14 years of marriage our prayers were answered. Psalm 37: 4 & 5. Our swell son, Shayne David McCarthy arrived. In San Jose Sam worked in the phone business & for Litton BTS. He also had his own company for some time. I volunteered at the grade school. I sold my 45 rpm records across western states. After 13 years the Lord led us to magnificent Mt. Spokane, WA. We have now lived in beautiful Blanchard community of friendly folks! We have been blessed with 2 huggable grandchildren, Bailey Joy-Kay and Parker Glenn. I am thrilled to sing for all kinds of events. I am thankful to love each person for we are each special to our Lord. My beloved husband has had a few health problems but by the grace of God, is still going strong. As a Chaplin for the Idaho State Grange I am blessed to share Jesus reality with so many great people.

A story in last week’s issue of The Miner incorrectly stated that Idaho’s District 1 Sen. Shawn Keough and Rep. Eric Anderson did not testify at a public meeting about caribou habitat at Priest Lake. Keough’s comments were on behalf of Anderson, Rep. George Eskridge and Sen. Joyce Broadsword. Anderson made additional comments. While Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter’s staff member was present at the meeting, she did not comment. However, the governor has submitted comments on this issue. We regret any confusion this may have caused.

The appointment was critical due to requirements of a loan to upgrade the system, which must be done by 2017. Baker requested the board appoint Fadon while Johnson is opposed to the loan. He told the board he feels residents should not have to be financially responsible for the developer’s improvement costs.

EDC | Money comes from .09 funds FROM PAGE 1
The grants had been approved by the EDC budget committee. The projects were scored and all met the minimum score for funding, EDC chairman Lonnie Johnson said. The money comes from .09 tax funds collected in the county and $20,000 that is being held by the Colville based Tri County Economic Development District. The $20,000 was raised in Pend Oreille County primarily from government contributions, TEDD executive director Rob Willford told the group. It was left over after the EDC split from TEDD to run their own organization. The .09 must be used for certain economic development efforts and public safety. It was unclear just what funds will go to which project. Willford said the $20,000 must be spent on public projects and public entities. It is easier for that money to go to TEDD members, he said. The EDC isn’t a TEDD member. The Kalispel Career Training Center was approved for the most money, an $11,400 grant that will be used for a computer lab and long distance learning. KCTC, located in Cusick, is establishing a long distance learning center in connection with Salish College in Kalispel, Mont. They will use the money for laptop and standard computers and video equipment, Terry Knapton told the board. “This is just to get us started,” Knapton said. The KCTC is a Kalispel Tribe project located in the old Case Line Manufacturing building near Cusick. It has grown from a handful of students to more than 100 currently, Knapton told the group. The project was unanimously approved. Knapton, who is a board member and a member of the budget committee, abstained. The Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce was approved for two projects. It received $5,691 to go towards revitalization of downtown Newport. The chamber will improve signage directing visitors towards the business district, and bring back benches and trash cans that had been removed by the city after vandals and accidents damaged them. The EDC money will be used as part of $20,469 the chamber plans on spending on the project. The chamber also received funding for a related project. It was approved for $2,277 to use for developing a downtown revitalization plan. The money is part of $6,850 the chamber plans to spend developing a visual aesthetic plan, including a color palette. It will also develop a comprehensive “you are here” sign similar to signs found in shopping malls. The town of Cusick was awarded $9,000 to build a kayak storage building to provide public infrastructure to support entrepreneurial watercraft services. The building will house a collection of kayaks and canoes while also acting as a small office for students. This project is expected to create two jobs. The Selkirk Fish Growers association, a nonprofit in Ione, was awarded $6,000 for planning, consulting and demonstration materials. This project builds upon previous EDC support to demonstrate viability of fish rearing for various business enterprises. This is the last step and last funding bridge from nonprofit demonstration to private development. The goal of this project is creating job opportunities through startups and youth retention. The Cutter Theatre was awarded $6,352 for historical building repair and portable sinks. The funding is to enhance business incubation facilities that focus on
business creation and retention. This will be achieved by installing three portable sinks to meet the health district’s requirements as well as resurfacing and correcting the slope for drainage to the entry stairs to the building. This project is expected to create one to two jobs and retain four jobs. The Selkirk Trailblazers were awarded $1,000 to provide
insurance coverage for the canoe/ float poker paddle called the “TriTown Float Down” to be held on the Pend Oreille River July 14-15. Under normal circumstances, the EDC budget committee does not recommend funding events. In light of unforeseen circumstances, this project was funded to help this new venture become established by being properly insured.

Ellensburg cowboy banks most money at Newport BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER
NEWPORT – The 63 annual Newport Rodeo held Friday and Saturday night, June 22-23, may well be remembered for the lightning and rain that characterized Friday’s show or the successful marriage proposal in the Saturday performance. There was plenty of arena action both days, but most of the success happened Saturday. Jason Minor, the Ellensburg cowboy who was the 2009 Pro West All Around champion, won the most money at the Newport Rodeo. Minor won $1,305, taking first in tie down roping and second in the team roping. Minor won the tie down roping by more than a second, with a 10.28 second run. He collected $644 for that effort, finishing ahead of Todd Willis, who tied his calf in 11.71 seconds. Minor, who roped in the Saturday performance, teamed up with Jake Minor to turn their steer in 5.75 seconds to finish second and collect $661 each. Bryce Palmer and Garrett Rogers won the event in Saturday’s performance with a 5.18 second run. They pocketed $798 each. They also won the event at Colville, winning another $812 there. Minor, like many contestants, competed at the Colville rodeo, held the same days as Newport. He also picked up big checks at Colville, winning the tie down roping there for another $700. Bareback rider Evan Miller took first in that event, with an 80-point ride. He won $490. He won another $141 for a fourth rd
place finish at Colville. Caleb McMillan of Soap Lake won the breakaway roping. He collected the biggest single event check at Newport, winning $953 for a 2.51 second run. Alexis Doutre won second with a 2.63 second run. Barrel racers also cashed in at Newport, with Pam Capper of Cheney winning that event Saturday with a 16.906 second run. She won $899 at Newport and another $633 for winning third at Colville. The steer wrestling was won by Eric Knapp of Okanogan, who downed his steer in 8.77 seconds. He collected $721 for the run. Jacob Stacy of Moses Lake and Devin Richter of Omak split first and second in the saddle bronc riding. The each scored 75 points and collected $522. Stacy also won second at Colville, winning another $511. Quinn Messersmith won the bull riding at Newport with an 81-point ride. He won $723 for the ride.

Sharing the Dharma Day is July 8 NEWPORT – “Everything must change; nothing stays the same.” Many artists have recorded this popular song, and most people accept this basic fact. Yet when the computer crashes or our relationship ends, we are surprised and disappointed, reacting with hurt or anger. How much less we would suffer if we knew in our hearts that everything must change. The Sravasti Abbey community will discuss impermanence and unnecessary suffering at Sharing the Dharma Day Sunday, July 8, from 9:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. The program includes guided meditation, a talk on the topic of the day, vegetarian potluck lunch, and a facilitated discussion. Guests may also view a video about the Buddhist monastery
and take a tour of the grounds and Buddhist artwork. Offered once a month, Sharing the Dharma is an opportunity for people of all faiths and backgrounds to learn something of the Buddha’s teachings and how to apply them to enrich their lives. Topics for Sharing the Dharma Day are drawn from the book, “Buddhism for Beginners,” written by the abbey’s founder and abbess, Venerable Thubten Chodron. All are welcomed to take part in Sharing the Dharma Day. Dress is casual but modest (no shorts or bare midriffs) and guests are encouraged to bring a vegetarian offering for the potluck. Sravasti Abbey is located at 692 Country Lane, Newport. For

NEWPORT – Pend Oreille County Libraries are planning several book discussions in July for adults and youth. Pizza, Pop and the Paranormal will be the name of the program in the Calispel Valley Library on Wednesday, July 18 at 11 a.m. The library is checking out copies of “Garden Spells” by Sarah Addison Allen for an adult book discussion to be held that day. “Garden Spells” is Addison’s first novel and is about sisters with the magical power to cook up herbal potions for friends and neighbors. Romance and a “down south” setting spices up the book perfectly. Also during the library program, there will be a special presentation, by author Chandra Leigh. She will be reading and discussing her book, “Kissed by the Moon.” A bit edgy, this sexy and suspenseful book is Leigh’s debut novel about a younger sister embracing her gift of casting magical spells and learning to accept others in the paranormal world. Leigh is also the daughter of Cusick town mayor, Robert Spenser. Autographed copies of the book will be available and pizza from “Out to Lunch,” coffee and pop will be served. The program is free and you need not have read “Garden Spells” to come and enjoy the company and discussion.

These include but aren’t limited to ambulance calls for illness, unfounded alarms, traffic stops, dogs at large, abandoned vehicles, 911 hang–ups and civil standbys. All dispositions for the police reports are assumed to be active, assist or transfer at press time. The police reports are updated each weekday on The Miner Online.
