Leaders meet on Growth Management

Moose twins celebrate Mother’s Day These twin moose calves were spotted with their mother Sunday, April 27, off Coyote Trail Road in the early afternoon. Property owners Pandi and Dave Gruver believe they are yearlings, as Dave saw them last summer. Twin moose are born when food is plentiful. Offspring stay with their mother until she gives birth again.

NEWPORT – Officials from all five cities in Pend Oreille County have been invited to a meeting May 27 to hear about the recently passed legislation that allows four small counties, including Pend Oreille County, to plan under less stringent requirements than under the Growth Management Act. County commissioner Mike Manus said state Reps. Shelly Short and Joel Kretz, along with state Sen. Brian Dansel will be present. All are Republicans.

Dansel sponsored the legislation. Manus said a representative from the state Department of Commerce will also attend the meeting.

“We want to know about grants and other impacts,” Manus said. There had been some fear that some state grants, particularly those going to cities, would be denied if they weren’t part of the state growth management program.

Manus said the county would also invite Gregg Dohrn, a professor of planning at Eastern Washington University and SEE GMA, 2A

Charges against Robert Todd thrown out

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – All charges against Robert Patrick Todd were dismissed after Pend Oreille County Superior Court Judge Allen Nielson ruled a Spokane County Superior Court judge did not have sufficient facts to issue a search warrant of Todd’s residence and that evidence seized in a raid could not be admitted at trial.

Defense attorney Joe Sicilia successfully argued that there was no reason to search Robert Todd’s residence, as

he wasn’t the subject of the investigation and his residence wasn’t specifically named in the warrant, which was based on an affidavit by a WSP detective. He lives in a separate house on the compound.

Nielson agreed, rejecting prosecution’s argument that the warrant included all buildings at the location.

“The affidavit did not describe any criminal activity by Robert Patrick Todd and did not include any information showing evidence of criminal activity would be found in his residence, greenhouse or on his person,” Nielson

wrote in his order that evidence be suppressed and not admissible at trial.

Without the evidence seized in the raid, deputy prosecutor Dolly Hunt said the state didn’t have enough evidence to proceed to trial and dismissed charges against Todd in Pend Oreille County Superior Court Thursday, May 1.

Todd, 48, was arrested June 5, 2013, along with Walter Randall Todd, 50, when Washington State Patrol’s Auto Theft Task Force raided the Todds’ SEE TODD, 2A

Loss of school waiver means less flexible federal funds

BY DESIREÉ HOOD OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Newport School District will be about $80,000 shorter in their budget for next school year as they are required to set aside 20 percent of the about $400,000 in Title 1 federal funds because the state failed to meet the require-

ments of the accountability waiver for No Child Left Behind.

Coordinator of Special Programs Michele Hunt said the district will use this money for tutoring students who need assistance and offering more math and reading classes.

MARATHON: Money will Shoreline rules for building, repairing docks cover costs and overhead FROM PAGE 1

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Dustin Person was before the Pend Oreille County Planning Commission last month to get approval for a dock he wants to build in the Pend Oreille River.

Appearing before the planning commission isn’t new for people wanting to build new docks. But the forms and regulations are different now that the Shoreline Master Program has been updated.

Person said completing the application was fairly simple.

“It wasn’t bad at all,” he said. “It took a few nights. There’s definitely a lot of paperwork.”

Now that the updated Shoreline Master Program is in effect, dock applications are handled a little differently.

Pend Oreille County Community Development Director Mike Lithgow says dock work falls into three basic categories: routine repair and maintenance, construction of small docks and construction of large docks.

“If you are just replacing a few boards on the dock, no permit is required,” Lithgow said, although he recommends people

contact community development before doing any work. While a county permit is not necessary for replacing boards, a state or federal permit may be required.

Some things are the same. Docks that were permitted before the SMP are grandfathered in under the SMP. If you substantially change your dock, or build a new one, you need a county permit to do it, which has been the case for years.

But other things have changed.

Under the new shoreline rules, no treated boards or tires may be used on any docks.

People don’t have to remove treated wood to comply with the SMP, but when they do replace boards and other treated parts of the dock, they should use an alternative material such as untreated wood, metal, concrete or plastic. Routine repairs should not alter the size of the dock.

Docks are permitted differently, depending on their size – large or small. That applies to both replacement and substantial renovation of existing docks and construction of new docks.

Regardless of whether they are considered SEE DOCK, 14A

GMA: More ‘revert back’ than ‘op out’ FROM PAGE 1

a paid consultant for the county.

County commission chairwoman Karen Skoog had previously said that the county would not make a decision about Growth Management without soliciting public input.

Dohrn has said that the legislation passed in March is more of a “revert back” bill than an “opt out” bill, since counties won’t be able to totally opt out of the Growth Management Act. He said there still would be a requirement for critical areas ordinances, protection of natural resource lands and comprehensive plans, regardless of what the county does.

Dohrn said there are two ways to interpret the legislation.

One way is the straightforward way that says the four counties – Pend Oreille, Ferry, Garfield and Columbia – will be able to take advantage of the reduced planning requirements. Each of the counties has less than 20,000 people.

Another interpretation would turn on what the Legislature meant by the phrase “take action to preserve the rural nature” of an area.

If you view it that way,

the legislation could mean small counties could revert back to the way they planned before on paper, but in reality it wouldn’t mean much, Dohrn said.

It may take an Attorney General opinion to clarify it, he said.

The legislation that was passed allows counties to pass an ordinance allowing them to plan as they did before they opted into the Growth Management Act. If the county decides to pass an ordinance to revert back to how it planned before GMA, county officials have to notify the incorporated towns and cities in the county. There are five of them in Pend Oreille County – Newport, Cusick, Metaline, Ione and Metaline Falls.

If 60 percent of the towns and cities – in Pend Oreille County’s case that would be three of the five towns – oppose reverting back, and they have 75 percent of the people who live in incorporated areas in the county, the county cannot revert back.

The only way to get to the 75 percent number is if Newport is included.

Newport could not stop the revert back action of the county by itself either.

Cities and towns have to take legislative action to oppose the county trying

to plan differently, Dohrn said. Silence means agreement, he said.

When the Growth Management Act was implemented in the 1990s, large counties had to fully plan under it but small counties and counties not experiencing a lot of growth did not have to fully plan, Dohrn said, although they could decide to “opt in” to fully plan under GMA. Pend Oreille County and the other four counties voluntarily decided to fully plan under GMA. If they didn’t, the law had a second option they still would have been under but it was less restrictive.

After several years and lawsuits, Kretz led the effort to pass an opt out bill for counties to be able to “opt out” of fully planning.

Those bills were not passed.

In 2013, Dansel sponsored a bill in the Senate.

Kretz sponsored a bill in the House.

After negotiation with Futurewise, a statewide public interest group that works to, among other things, protect farmland, forests and shorelines, the current bill was passed.

Futurewise had opposed the bill previously.

Kretz credited Dansel with working with Futurewise to overcome their objections.

TODD: Law looking for meth, vehicles FROM PAGE 1

property, located just off on Stohr Road, near Spring Valley Road, south of Newport.

The case against Walter Randall Todd is still going forward. He is charged with four counts of possession of stolen vehicles, possession of methamphetamine and with two counts of unlawful possession of firearms.

He pleaded not guilty and is free on $20,000 bond.

Law enforcement officers said they were looking for evidence of a murder, meth sales and stolen vehicles.

They found a marijuana grow operation at Robert Todd’s residence and charged him with manufacturing marijuana with intent to deliver, possession of more than 40

grams of marijuana and four counts of possession of stolen property. He has a medical marijuana authorization.

Presumably, some of the 15 pounds of marijuana that was seized will be returned to Todd, along with $3,139 that was taken from him during the arrest. Medical marijuana patients are permitted to possess 24 ounces of marijuana.

Washington State Patrol’s auto theft unit led two raids on the Todd compound in 2013. The first raid included a helicopter, at least two SWAT teams, five tactical vehicles, bomb sniffing dogs and hazardous materials teams. Law enforcement spent several days in the property searching. County road department equipment was used to dig in several areas of the property for evidence.

“Part of the vision of this event is to really put the best foot forward in the community,” organizer Ken Eldore said.

Eldore said flaggers and pilot cars will be on hand to help with traffic control. One lane will be open to traffic along the route with some roads blocked with detour routes marked. Pilot cars will

be placed on LeClerc Creek Road between Highway 2 and Conklin Meadows Road to help with traffic, but Eldore said waiting up to 10 minutes may happen. Eldore said the light at State Highway 41 and Highway 2 during the run will be under control of a traffic flagger and this could also cause some delays. Eldore said the lane restrictions and traffic delays will be in effect until 1 p.m.

He said the runners will take up one lane of Washington Avenue in Newport and continue on the north lane of Walnut Street, across one lane of the Oldtown bridge and travel up one lane of LeClerc Creek Road for 13 miles. They will turn around and return the same way they came.

The best place for spectators to watch the event is near TJ Kelly Park, Eldore said. Parking for the event will be in the city lot off Highway 2 on the east side of Stratton Elementary.

The full marathon runners will hear the starting shot at 7 a.m. at TJ Kelly Park. The half marathon participants will meet at First Street and Washington Avenue before being bussed to the Pend Oreille Bible Camp about eight miles north on LeClerc Creek Road.

Runners will start at the camp and make their way to Newport following the river and path of the full marathon. The half marathon will start at 9:30 a.m. with the last bus to take runners to the starting line at 8:30 a.m.

The finish line will boast a party and activities for children. Men and women

divisions will receive overall prizes and awards based on age groups.

Racers can pick up their packet Friday, May 9 from 3-8 p.m. at the Roxy Theatre where dinner and “Spirit of a Marathon” I and II will be shown. Tickets for dinner and the movies are $15 and the first movie starts at 5 p.m. The dinner will be prepared by May’s Catering.

Packets can also be picked up Saturday morning before the race from 6-8:30 a.m. in the lobby of the Roxy.

Childcare is available at the Roxy for children ages 5-12 for $30 for one child and $10 for each additional child. Child drop-off starts at 6:30 a.m. the day of the race and children must be picked up by 1:45 p.m. The Roxy will play G-rated and PG-rated movies and have a bouncy castle and arts and crafts. Children will be fed a morning snack of fruit and muffins, lunch will be hot dogs, nachos or a pretzel and popcorn will be the afternoon snack.

Eldore said the money from the event is going to overhead costs. He is hopeful to donate money to a charity next year, but said this year he will barely break even.

He paid the DOT and Idaho Transportation more then $9,500 for flaggers and traffic control.

“There is a lot of overhead costs for a safe and fun experience,” Eldore said.

He said in 2013, the marathons and events he helps organize donated about $8,100 to charities. Eldore helps organize the Priest Lake marathon, a spring festival run at Priest Lake and a fall mountain bike race also at Priest Lake.

Eldore said he has heard of many runners who are participating for the fun of the event or because they are cancer survivors, not to win the top prize. Eldore said he enjoys hearing the story behind why the runners are participating.

“Race day isn’t just about the top finishers,” Eldore said. “We enjoy being part of those experiences in the race.”

Eldore and his wife are both runners and he said they enjoy putting on different races to leave a positive impact on the town.

Development regs, vacation rental, A-Tow before planning commission

B R I E F LY Cusick schools hold special board meeting CUSICK – The Cusick School District Board of Directors will hold a special board meeting, Thursday, May 15 at 8:30 a.m. in Cusick School District room 200.

The purpose is to discuss reorganization of district administration and athletic uniforms.

CUSICK – The Pend Oreille County Planning Commission will take up a vacation rental permit application from planning commission chair Judy Ashton, a conditional use permit application from A Tow Towing and make a recommendation on updated development regulations at their May 13 meeting in Cusick. The Tuesday meeting starts at 6 p.m.

The development regulations update includes allowing commercial development on natural resource lands with a conditional use permit, changing the definition of a RV park to do away with a provision that allowed people to combine separate lots into a a commercial RV park, allowing people to move permitted buildings within the county without updating their snow load requirements and allowing an off premise sign.

The planning commission will make a recommendation to the county commissioners, who will make the final decision on the development regulations.

The planning commission will take up a conditional use permit application from Tracie Brown for a proposed towing business to be located at 212 Silverbirch near Newport.

The property is owned by Jerry Walker. According to the application, the business would operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The project drew a number of comments, including a letter from the state Department of Ecology.

Ecology noted that should the business accumulate more than 800 waste tires, it will need a permit and tire storage license. If employees transport more than five waste tires, they will need a Waste Tire Carrier License.

Northeast Tri-County Health District also submitted comments, noting an on-site sewage system permitted by the NE Tri County Health District is required for the office building and the applicant will need to contact the state

Cusick holds school review hearing CUSICK – A public hearing for information and input into Title 1 and other federal programs, review of school improvement plans and parent involvement policies for students attending Cusick schools will be held Wednesday, May 21, at 3:15 p.m. in the high school library.

T

he annual Cutter Theatre auction this Saturday puts them in the community spotlight. The volunteers that keep the quality entertainment and events bursting from the stage in the historic stone building deserve this spotlight and the entire region’s support.

Since grants for the arts have dried up, organization like Cutter Theatre have struggled to stay open.

But Cutter is like the little train that won’t say no and keeps chugging along while others fail. It might be the beautiful building or the unique small town setting where the theatre is the heart and soul that the community is built around. The primary reason this theatre is successful is certainly the people currently involved and those that worked hard before them.

This auction is the major fundraiser for the Cutter Theatre. They depend on this money, donations and volunteers to operate all year. They are more than a community entertainment venue. They have to make sure the building is ready for many public uses.

But the centerpiece is the theatre, which continually hosts a variety of entertainment from locally produced plays to world-class musicians.

Support the auction and support the Cutter Theatre.

PUD board tours and meets in north county

BY DESIREÉ HOOD OF THE MINER

IONE – The Pend Oreille Public Utility District Board of Commissioners meeting started at the Cusick Substation, Tuesday, April 29, to tour the substation. They went on to tour Perkins Slough, Trimble Creek and Box Canyon Hydroelectric Project. Their day ended in Ione for a Townhall Meeting with more than 12 members of the public in attendance.

PUD General Manager John Jordan said the board toured these areas near Cusick because repairs need to be done on culverts and dikes in the area. The Commissioners will meet with Diking District 1, Port District and PUD personnel, Tuesday, May 13, at 12:30, to discuss the problems in the area and decide who covers the cost of repairs.

“The culverts act to maximize land use for the farmers,” Jordan said. “Flooding is an issue if the culverts fail. All parties have some level of involvement.”

During the commissioner meeting held at Box Canyon Dam, among the staff updates was one from the Community Connectivity staff. They reported that more than 1,177 south Pend Oreille County residents have requested the service and more than 1,015 customers can search the internet on fiber lines.

“We have been hanging pretty consistently between 15 to 20 installs as well as seeing approximately 10-12 new requests each week,” CNS Supervisor Robert Fritz said.

Jordan also discussed the opening of the Pend Oreille Mine, operated by Teck American Incorporated. He said a meeting would be held with Teck at a later date about the issues related to opening the mine.

During the evening town hall meeting in Ione, the board and staff reported on the projects currently underway in the north end of the county with the dozen area residents in attendance.

Presentations were given on the Sullivan Lake Cold Water Pipe project, the fish passage project, turbine upgrades at Box Canyon Dam and district finances.

“I thought it worth our time to prepare and present, and valuable to the community members who chose to attend,” Jordan said. “I think the meetings are normally productive.

We can share something of what is happening at the PUD with the community. Perhaps more importantly, the PUD gets valuable feedback on what the community is thinking.”

PUD General Council Colin Willenbrock said most of the discussion was on the Sullivan Lake project during the town hall meeting.

The PUD announced Karnath Contracting Inc. was awarded the contract for the project. They were the apparent low bidder with more than $3.9 million for the project.

This project is part of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requirements for fish mitigation included in the license surrender agreements for the Sullivan Creek hydroelectric project.

The PUD will cover half of the cost of the $4 million system.

Seattle City Light will cover the other half of the cost as part of its Boundary Hydroelectric Project relicensing agreement.

Willenbrock said the PUD is often forced to spend millions on projects because of state and federal mandates. He said the PUD is not always in favor of the projects but state and federal mandates require it.

“The Sullivan Lake issue is of concern to the north end community,” Jordan said. “They have a certain amount of heartburn with regulatory requirements that affect their SEE PUD, 6A

YO U R O P I N I O N Tyranny of the majority To the editor: When the West Bonner County School District trustees first voted on the levy amount, I sat there and listened to the chairwoman state that the board had to be in full agreement.

They had to be united.

I was offended by that statement. Why did the vote need to be unanimous?

What happened to having a mind of your own?

Not only do they wrongly use scare tactics on the students, they have now bullied my representative off of the school board.

Tony Lamanna was legally elected by those of us in Zone 1. Now, we will be denied our representation.

We will be forced to accept whomever the board of trustees deems fit to assign to us. There will be no vote, no election, and no choice for the taxpayers.

This is communism and it does not belong here.

We are a representative Republic, and we have just had our representation taken away from us by the “majority” on the school board.

They won’t select someone that tries to represent all of the people. They will select someone that “thinks” like they do and will “get with the program.” Dissention is not tolerated.

John Adams discussed “Tyranny of the Majority” in 1788. He warned against it, but we are now forced to embrace it in West Bonner County.

The school board will do anything to pass this levy, including persecute those that get in their way.

Vote No May 20. We must stand up for our rights!

Scott has know-how, commitment

To the editor: I’ve known Heather Scott for some time and am impressed by her intelligence and can-do spirit in tackling problems and seeing them through to a successful outcome.

The first in her family to get a college degree, she put it to good use during some 20 years as an aquatic biologist, combating invasive species like milfoil. Of all the candidates running for office right now, she is the only one with the education and experience to knowledgeably deal with that problem.

Aside from that, I value her commitment to the community. She has given thousands of volunteer hours as president of God’s Provisions Thrift Shop in Priest River and quietly helped many who were down and out.

Vote for this great lady on May 20th.

Time for incumbents to go To the editor: The incumbent representatives for Idaho District 1 both pride themselves on ”fiscal responsibility with taxpayer dollars.” Yet an independent study from Idaho Freedom Works ranks legislative voting records by opposition to free markets and expanding government. For George Eskridge and Shawn Keogh both the Freedom index score is far down the list of conservative colleagues, even behind some Democrats.

I find this information crucial to my vote on May 20. Can I afford to have these legislators in Boise?

They will continue to reach in my pocket to support Idaho Core Standards for our schools without knowledge of the price tag for

A botched execution in Oklahoma has brought the controversial question of Capital Punishment back into the spotlight. The U.S. Constitution prevents “cruel and unusual” punishment for crimes, regulating the methods used to put people to death by the government.

Do you think capital punishment should be used in the United States?

No. It’s a barbaric and hypocritical practice.

online testing or intrusive data mining of students.

Privacy … I guess it is not an issue for them. Loss of local control in our schools … not an issue for them.

I have met and discussed with many community members concerned and confused regarding the stranglehold of Idaho Common Core in our schools.

Eskridge is quoted, “that my vote was always based on constituent input,” and also what “I felt was the right thing to do.” Too late to listen to the voters. It is time for incumbents to go.

Actual taxes for schools have dropped To the editor: There seems to be a lot of people that think school taxes have gotten out of control. We understand the frustration of more and more tax dollars being taken out of our paychecks, and nothing new to show for it. School taxes, however, do not fall into that category.

We compared our tax statements over the last 20 years, and came up with some real numbers for school taxes. Between 1994 and 2005 when the state quit charging taxes for local school districts, we paid from $116.40 to $216.10 in school taxes.

Then the local district started having to run levies to support our schools. Our school taxes dropped to $31.86 in 2006, more than a $150 decrease. Last year we paid $90.50 in local school tax, still considerably less than we were paying in the past under the old collection system.

It is no wonder our schools are hurting for money, when for the last seven years we have been falling farther and farther

Executions need to first be regulated for crime severity, socioeconomic status and race before any more are carried out.

Idaho needs new state officials To the editor: We are so fortunate to have wonderful candidates stepping up to the plate for our state of Idaho positions.

We are in such dire need of these dedicated applicants because as one of them stated, “Idaho is at a tipping point. We must defeat the overreach of the federal government into Idaho or we may forfeit the last of the liberties that we still hold.”

All of these candidates are acutely aware of what will help grow our economy – limiting government regulatory burden! Please remember to vote for these candidates on May 20.

behind in the amount needed to run our school district. This began when our state government decided it did not have to support the school system, even though it is required by law to do so.

The lottery and 1-cent sales tax dollars, that were supposed to cover the difference in tax collections, have failed to bring in the necessary funding.

The facts are we pay a lot less in school taxes than we did in the 1990s and early 2000s. Our school district has continually cut both employees and costs wherever possible in last few years, even as the state and federal governments have imposed more and more unfunded requirements.

After looking at the facts we support the upcoming West Bonner County School levy.

WSU master gardeners answer plant questions NEWPORT – The gardening season is here and WSU/Pend Oreille County Master Gardener volunteers are offering free diagnosis and advice at scheduled plant clinics and at a variety of upcoming community events. Garden questions and pictures can also be emailed directly to pomastergardeners@outlook.com.

Master gardeners will be available at biweekly plant clinics held at the extension office at S. 418 Scott, in Newport next to the old Courthouse from 4:30-8 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursday evenings of each month.

Bring your plant and insect samples to the clinic during those hours for identification and diagnosis.

General gardening questions are also welcome, and a variety of resources are available at the clinics. Samples and questions for master gardeners can also be dropped off at the WSU Pend Oreille County Extension office which is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Master gardeners can be reached directly by phone during evening clinic hours at 509447-2401.

CORRECTIONS

“WSU Master Gardeners are volunteers who have extensive horticultural training and access to a large research-based reference library,” WSU Extension Coordinator Carol Mack said. “They have proven to be a valuable resource for home gardeners in recommending safe, effective treatments.

I highly recommend that everyone who is interested in gardening stop by to talk with them about some of the tips and techniques for overcoming the climate and soil challenges we face here.”

Local businesses need support To the editor: Tom Frisque’s letter last week was a rant against the political left promoting the notion that lefties don’t like capitalism or business.

Frisque implied that local businesses must get a license from the United Nations, when in reality, the cities and Pend Oreille County don’t even require a business license.

Local businesses are not over regulated, but need local customers to survive and grow. As a local business owner, I would gladly pay the cost of compliance with regulations or business taxes with income from sales. We need customers and sales to stay in business.

We greatly appreciate those in our community who shop

local.

So I would say to Frisque, what are you doing to support local businesses? Are you going into Spokane and shopping for bargains at the big box stores? You might find the same price at local business and save the $40 in gas. We are happy to contribute to local charities and causes, but I must say there are days that we get more requests for donations than sales from customers.

Shopping is changing with more on-line sales and I often find it interesting that people want customer support from local businesses for products that they buy on-line. So while our inventory gathers dust, we are supposed to provide instruc-

tions, spare parts, warranty support and repairs for items bought on-line or at the big box stores.

Shopping is an experience and there is more to buying than the price. A visit to a local business will provide help and advice that you can’t buy on-line or from a huge corporation. Government policies that support the common person mean that they are more likely to have money to shop in our store. Low wages and few paid benefits translate into fewer customers and sales for businesses. What kind of capitalism chokes itself to death?

Sen. Shawn Keough, Rep. George Eskridge and Rep. Eric Anderson voted against their constituents with Pro votes on AHC, Common Core and second amendment issues to name a few.

Anderson decides not to run so they bring in a New Team member Stephen Snedden. We think it is time to end this fraternity of like-minded politicians

This has become very apparent in local area forums this primary season. It is time the people of North Idaho, District 1, to put an end to this group.

OBITUARI ES Robert L. Utter NEWPORT

Robert L. Utter passed away peacefully at his home in Newport Saturday, April 26. He was 59 years old. Mr. Utter was born Aug. 15, 1954.

“Bob was truly one of a kind man,” friends Utter and relatives said. “He was a jack of all trades.

There was nothing he couldn’t do or couldn’t fix.”

They describe Mr. Utter as a very generous man who would help anyone in need. His favorite hobbies were fishing, hunting, boating, and he enjoyed the casino. Anyone who knew him knew he loved the Oakland Raiders. He was a great cook and made the best tacos.

Family members said he was a wonderful father, relative and friend who will be truly missed. He had a playful disposition that could get a rise out of anyone, friends said.

“Bob left his mark in the hearts of many people and his memory will live on. A soul put to rest but never forgotten.”

Survivors include his children Josh (and Nicole) Peightal, James Griswold and Jacob Utter along with lots of family and loved ones.

He was preceded in death by his father, Lee Utter, his mother, Carol Keeler, and his aunt Ann. Services will be held May 16 at 3:30 p.m. at the Sherman-Knapp Funeral Home in Newport. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Sherman-Knapp Funeral Home in Newport is in charge of arrangements. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook

at www.sherman-knapp.com.

Joe Romero NEWPORT

Joe Romero passed away at Pend Oreille Pines Long-Term Care May 4. He was 87.

He was born Oct. 13, 1926, to Domingo and Jesusa Romero.

Mr. Romero was a lifelong resident of Newport, living independently on the family homestead until health concerns required his move to assisted living. The move to town allowed him to become involved with “The Clubhouse” and introduced him to the wonderful world of Special Olympics when he became a member of the Selkirk Super Stars team.

He treasured the friendships with his coaches, mentors and fellow athletes, eagerly anticipated

practices and competitions and was so very proud of the medals and ribbons he earned. In 2006, Mr. Romero moved to River Mountain Village, adding many staff and residents to his circle of friends. Those friendships moved with him to the long-term care facility.

For much of his life, he was the keeper of the family calendar. He could recite the names, birth dates, weddings and any other date-related information needed, often correcting those not quite as gifted as him. He enjoyed life and was never happier than when with his family for whatever occasion brought them together. He loved riding his bicycle, building anything with wood, crafts, board games, big family meals and pumpkin pie.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Domingo and Jesusa Romero, brothers Manuel, Al-

phonse and Frank, and sisters Mary and Ann. He is survived by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, greatnephews, great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews who will miss his smiles, songs and gentleness of spirit.

A private family service will be held at a later date. For those wishing to honor Mr. Romero’s memory, donations may be made to the Selkirk Super Stars in support of the opportunities they provide for those with special needs.

Sherman-Knapp Funeral Home in Newport is in charge of arrangements. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www.sherman-knapp.com.

PLANNING: Application for vacation rental PUD: Residents asked about fiber project FROM PAGE 3A

Department of Health regarding a requirement for a Group B public water system permit.

Several other written comments were submitted.

Jerry Kroenig pointed out several discrepancies in the application. Kroenig stated he feels that more than a towing operation is desired, possibly a automotive repair and body shop. He said his well is below the drainage field for the septic tank.

Chad Leslie of Roger’s Body and Frame and John Jackson of Newport towing wrote that the property is not zoned industrial, as is required by the Washington State Patrol for a commercial tow facility. A zone change would be needed, they wrote. A retaining wall made out of tires may be an environmental hazard and a building used to store vehicles has a dirt floor and would not prevent leaking fluids from entering the ground.

There were other written comments. None seemed supportive of the project.

Also at the May 13 planning commission meeting, Richard and Judy Ashton are applying for a vacation rental permit for a two bedroom, two-bath vacation rental at 761 Graham Rd. in Ione. Ashton, who is chair of the planning commission, will recuse herself from voting on this project, county Community Development Director Mike Lithgow said.

The proposed vacation rental is located on 9.5 acres, has a

private sewer system and is waterfront property located near the Pend Oreille River.

A pre-application inspection was conducted in April.

The inspector found plenty of off road parking and wrote that the manufactured home was capeable of an occupancy load of six people. More smoke alarms and handrails were needed, the inspector wrote.

FOR THE RECORD

| MAY 7, 2014

OBITUARI ES Nellie D. Brown NEWPORT

Nellie D. Brown passed away Tuesday, April 29, at Newport Long Term Care at the age of 87.

She was born Brown in Columbus, N.D., and moved with her large family to Priest River, in October 1936. She graduated from Priest River High School in 1944 and married Norman Brown the same year. Their daughter Linda was born in 1946.

Mrs. Brown was a quiet, generous person who loved the outdoors. Her favorite pastimes were picking huckleberries, cutting firewood, tending her garden and playing cards. She worked for the U.S. Forest Service for many years.

Mrs. Brown enjoyed this job and was proud to have been one of six women on the very first all female crew in the Kaniksu National Forest.

They planted trees, worked on forest fires and cut brush, doing the same work as the male crews did.

She gave her family and friends a lifetime of love and memories. She will be truly missed by everyone and will be forever in their hearts, family said.

Mrs. Brown was preceded in death by her parents Nickolas and Maatje Dalebout, her husband of 56 years Norman Brown, her longtime companion John Edmiston, sisters Jackie Aleffi and Tannica Larson, and brothers Carl Dalebout, John Dalebout, Michael Dalebout, Sam Dalebout, Cornelius Dalebout and Marinus Dalebout.

She is survived by her daughter Linda Naccarato, son-in-law Lee Naccarato, sisters Cornelia Cross, Jenny Dillon, Mary Brown Denton, many beloved nieces and nephews and Dan Edmiston.

A memorial service was held Monday, May 5, at 11 a.m. at the Living Hope Free Methodist Church in Priest River. Memorial contributions to honor her in lieu of flowers can be made to God’s Provision Thrift Shop, c/o Linda Naccarato, PO Box 73, Priest River, ID 83856.

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Dr. Geoffry Jones and Newport Long Term Care for the excellent care they gave Mrs. Brown.

Sherman-Knapp Funeral Home in Priest River is in charge of arrangements.

Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www.sherman-knapp. com.

Dolores L. Kaier NEWPORT

Dolores L Kaier of Newport passed away April 22 in Spokane. She was 85.

She worked for the U.S. Forest Service later in life and always mentioned how much she enjoyed it, encouraging grandchildren to work and maintain the forest and recreational activities supported by the state parks. She had a passion for plants and gardening.

Mrs. Kaier is survived by her brother Charles Merrow of Sioux Falls, S.D., her son Richard Kaier of Newport and her daughter Carol Meling of Wilsonville, Ore. Sherman-Knapp Funeral Home in Newport is in charge

a large or small dock project, docks shouldn’t extend more than 55 feet into the water from the ordinary high water mark. They can be longer if needed in order to reach water deep enough for boat moorage.

Dock ramps should not be wider than 4 feet and piers should not be wider than 8 feet. The total square footage of the dock should not be more than 320 square feet, unless approval is given for the dock to extend farther than 55 feet into the water, in which case it can be as much as 450 square feet.

“Diamond Lake has some places where you could have the 450 square foot dock,” Lithgow said. Small docks also must cost less than $20,000, including the cost of materials and labor. That dollar threshold changed this past legislative session.

New dock surfaces on the river must be covered with SEE DOCKS, 14A

DOCKS: Float system must be held in place by a piling or other fixed structure FROM PAGE 13A

grating, although docks on lakes don’t have that requirement. The lakes do not have bull trout. The reason grated decking is required on river docks is to allow light to go through the dock to water underneath. Predators like to hide in the shadows and eat the bull trout.

A float system dock must be held in place by a piling or other fixed structure like screw anchors and chains.

For work on small docks, a Shoreline Authorization made by the Community Development Department is necessary. A Hydraulic Project Approval from the state Department of Fish and Wildlife is also required, although

that isn’t a new requirement. An HPA costs $150. A county permit for construction on a small dock costs $225, depending on the extent of the construction.

To build a new small dock, a State Environmental Policy Act application must also be completed. With the SEPA, the cost rises to $350.

The 12-page SEPA application asks about environmental impacts of the dock, things such as “Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use?”

Construction and repair of big docks have the most rules. They require a $450 Substantial Shoreline Development permit from the county, which includes a SEPA review, as

well as a $150 HPA from Fish & Wildlife. The application goes before the county planning commission for a public hearing.

The SMP allows low voltage solar or battery powered lighting. Any other forms of hard wired fixtures and high voltage lighting is not permitted on new and existing docks.

Docks should be spaced and oriented to minimize obstructions to navigation and other water activities such as fishing and swimming. One dock per lot is allowed.

People are encouraged to share docks.

People may not have structures on residential docks, such as living quarters, covered boat moorage or fueling facilities.

Docks can have a landing pad onshore, but the size of the pad must be the minimum necessary to secure the ramp or dock. In order to be processed under a county Shoreline Authorization, the landing pad must not cost more than $6,400, including labor and materials. If it costs more, a Substantial Shoreline Development Permit is required.

New bulkheads or walls on the shoreline are prohibited. Property owners can maintain their walls, however.

NO CHILD: Requires 100 percent meet proficiency FROM PAGE 1

The other option for the money is public school choice and used by the district to bus children to a passing school. Hunt said there is not a school neighboring the district that is passing, so bussing students to another school may not be an option.

“It can’t be an hour away,” Hunt said. She said this is not feasible for time or money.

Any unused portion of the funds will be put back into the Title 1 budget after the school year has started but too late for the funds to be accounted for in the budget for that school year. Newport passes their budget in July. Title 1 funds are

‘It’s a huge impact across the state.’

Michele Hunt

Coordinator of Special Programs

used for math and reading education, business manager Tom Crouch, said.

No Child Left Behind required that 100 percent of students meet proficiency levels in reading and math by this year. In 2011, President Obama allowed states to take a waiver, which lowered the accountability that 100 percent of students meet the proper levels. The waiver was granted if states agreed to tie teacher and principal evaluations to test scores.

Office of the Superintendent Randy Dorn said the Legislature did not pass the evaluation requirement during their session earlier this year, so the state was denied their waiver.

Dorn said in a statement that Washington has been doing great work under the waiver agreement and developed a system that more accurately reflects the progress the state is making in their schools.

“But to get our waiver renewed for next year, the Department of Education was clear: The Legislature needed to amend state law to require teacher and principal evaluations to include student growth on state tests, when appropriate,” Dorn said. “I Agree: Student progress should be one of multiple elements in a teacher’s evaluation. Unfortunately the teacher’s union felt it was more important to protect their members than to agree to that change and pressured the Legislature not to act.”

Hunt said the state sets a benchmark for each building in each district across the state to measure adequate yearly progress (AYP). They vary at every school and are based off data collected from the past year at that school. Schools have been testing children since 2002 under the No Child Left Behind law.

In the 2012-13 school year, Newport schools as a whole

did not meet the target for AYP falling below the target of 76.8 percent with 72.7 percent AYP in reading. In math, the district was also below the target of 70.1 percent, coming in with 63.8 percent.

“But we met the 95 percent participation for reading and math,” Hunt said. Newport also passed the on-time graduation requirements.

Hunt said the district is using a new pilot testing program this year that is set to Common Core Standards. Hunt said the new tests are compliant with No Child Left Behind. The Smarter Balanced Tests include English, language arts and math and are given to students online.

“This year we are piloting because next year it will be required,” Hunt said. “This is a much bigger assessment. It’s broader.”

Hunt said they are waiting on information from the state that will help them figure out the whole impact that losing the waiver will have. She said there currently is not a list of schools showing which are failing.

“It’s a huge impact across the state,” Hunt said.

Cusick boys lose to ACH, Curlew

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

CUSICK – The Cusick Panthers baseball team played four times last week, losing doubleheaders to Curlew and Almira/ Coulee-Hartline.

Tuesday, April 29, Cusick travelled to Curlew, where they lost 11-3 and 6-0.

“It was a frustrating day,” Cusick coach Tell Hamilton said. Both Cusick and Curlew batters made contact with the ball, but Cusick shots went to where fielders were positioned while Curlew found openings.

Cusick played relatively error free, with only one error in the first game, but a devastating third inning in which Curlew scored seven runs really hurt.

“They hit three dink shots in a row,” Hamilton said. Cusick’s sole error came in that inning and suddenly Cusick was

down 8-0. Freshman Mickey Andrews hit a triple in the first game as one of the Panther highlights.

Five errors hurt Cusick in the second game, which Curlew won 6-0. Again a tough third inning put Cusick in a hole they

Submit applications for controlled hunts COEUR D’ALENE – Idaho hunters hoping to draw tags for big game controlled hunts this fall should submit their applications in the next few weeks. Through June 5, applications are being taken for controlled hunts for deer, elk, pronghorn, fall bear and fall turkey tags.

Controlled hunts are hunts with a limited number of tags in a specific area for a specific species. They are like general season hunts, but the number of hunters is limited. Controlled hunts are often desirable because of location and timing; and success rates are usually higher than general season hunts.

To apply for a controlled hunt, residents and nonresidents must have a valid Idaho hunting license and complete the application/worksheet available at: http://fishandgame.idaho. gov/public/licenses/controlledHunts/?getPage=86.

Application forms can be found on page 109 of the current big game hunting regulations.

The applications can be mailed, with the proper fees, to any Fish and Game office. Hunters can also apply for controlled hunts in person at any hunting and fishing license vendor or any Fish and Game office.

The 2013 harvest drawing odds for controlled hunts are posted on the Idaho Fish and Game Website at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/licenses/controlledHunts/lookupOdds.cfm, and in the Idaho Hunt Planner http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/ifwis/huntPlanner/.

Information from last year’s mandatory hunt reports are also available online at http:// fishandgame.idaho.gov/ifwis/huntplanner/stats.aspx.

Saturday, May 3, the Rangers played an away doubleheader with Odessa Harrington. The Rangers won the first game 9-4, leading start to finish. The Rangers lost the second game 17-7.

Cain had another good day pitching, yielding just one earned run in the first

game, Whittekiend said. Brandyn Ross went six for seven on the day hitting, with two doubles and four singles. Avey and Austin Robertson each contributed with a couple of nice bunt singles to continue innings in the first contest, Whittekiend said.

Odessa-Harrington rode a big 10-run first inning to a 17-7 five inning win in the second game.

Selkirk rallied with six runs of their own in the second inning, but couldn’t make up the deficit. Odessa-Harrington put the game away with two runs in the fifth inning to go up by 10, with the game called by the mercy rule.

Selkirk is currently in sixth place in the Northeast 1B League, with a 4-6 record. They have a 4-8 overall record.

The top four teams will advance to post season play.

Selkirk played a makeup game with Curlew after deadline Tuesday. They will host Wilbur Saturday, May 10 for a doubleheader that will start at noon.

tained Almira/Coulee-Hartline, losing 20-13 and 25-23.

Neither team played defense very well in the high scoring game, Hamilton said.

Cusick fell victim to another lousy inning, this time the fourth inning of the first game, when ACH scored 13 runs.

Franklin Pope hit a home ON DECK: run and a double and Dustin AT REPUBLIC: Wednesday, Newkirk also hit a double in the May 7, 4 p.m. first game.

In the second game, Cusick was down 23-15 at the start of the sixth inning.

“We needed nine runs to win,” Hamilton said. “We got six of them.”

The losses put Cusick in fifth place in the Northeast 1B League with a 5-7 record. The top four teams advance to post season play, which starts May 13. Cusick will play Republic Wednesday, May 7 at 4 p.m. They need to win both games to have a chance to advance, Hamilton said.

hits.

“We had five extra base hits in the game,” Hargrove said. Reyes, Rapp, Conrad, Madison and Jake Satterlee all hit doubles and Konkright hit a triple. But Newport couldn’t stop Medical Lake from scoring.

Leaving runners on base has hurt Newport, Hargrove said.

“I think a major factor in the games that we lost were the runners left on base,”

Hargrove said. In the last three games, Newport lost by a combined 10 runs. “If we could have scored even half the guys we left on base we would have had much better success,” he said.

Newport has a 4-11 Northeast A League record and is in sixth place. The top three teams will advance to post season play. Newport played Kettle Falls after deadline Tuesday. They will host Lakeside Saturday, May 10 for a doubleheader that starts at 11 a.m.

Hospital staff help residents navigate ACA

EDITOR’S NOTE: With so many questions surrounding the Affordable Care Act, The Miner staff asked two experts on the topic at Newport Hospital and Health Services. Patient Account Representative Diane Schaff and her manager Trina Gleese some of the most common questions about how the ACA, or ObamaCare, is affecting residents in Pend Oreille and west Bonner counties.

Following are their answers.

1. About how many people a week do you assist with finding health care?

We assist in helping individuals and/or families with potential resources that might help assist them with health care costs. We help residents in Washington and Idaho as the need arises. Typically it is through a referral from the clinics or through recent services received through our hospital.

It has slowed down since the deadline, we assist approximately seven patients per week using the Washington Health Plan Finder, Washington Connections, or Medicaid of Idaho.

2. About what percentage of those qualify for Medicaid?

In Washington, it is fairly large percentage. I haven’t tracked this but as we are seeing an increase in the new adult population for healthcare coverage, with the Apple Health program we are finding most qualify. The small percentage needing to select an insurance plan and were eligible with or without tax credits were referred to an insurance broker for assistance in a plan selection.

3. What is the most common obstacle for people looking to sign up for health care?

In Washington the call center has been extremely busy with calls, so getting through when error codes arise in completing the application has been difficult.

In Idaho, adults need to obtain insurance coverage through a commercial insurance plan or thru the YourHealth Idaho website. Idaho did not expand their Medicaid program leaving a large population who do not qualify for Medicaid or the tax credits, which would reduce their insurance premium.

4. If someone doesn’t qualify for Medicaid, what are their other options for affordable health care?

Insurance through the Washington Health Plan finder – they potentially would qualify for tax credits to help offset the cost of their monthly insurance premium, but most will need to wait until the next open enrollment period. There are some exceptions for enrolling prior to the open enrollment.

In Idaho, the counties have a program to help with medical bills in a catastrophic situation, services have to be applied for, approved, and must be received through an Idaho facility and/or provider. We typically recommend they call the County Assistance program for the county they reside in.

Services also has an Uncompensated Services Program our patients can apply for to reduce their bill based on their family size and income.

5.What happens if someone signs up for health insurance, but doesn’t make their regular payments?

They are terminated from health care coverage if their insurance premiums aren’t paid within the grace period set by the insurance carrier.

6. When someone comes to you for help signing up for health insurance, briefly explain the process they will go through.

We usually set this up by appointment and ask them to provide us with names, birthdates, identification and verification of income for all family members, a current e-mail address, information about any health care plans. We are Community Assistors, we go online to help them set up a User Name and Password, all family members information and income is entered, then if all goes through they are typically approved the first of the month in which they apply.

For those that qualify for the Medicaid, they can request retroactive coverage for the three months prior if they meet the criteria for residence and household income.

For those that are able to do their own computer input, we also have a

A healthy breakfast and a healthy weight If you think skipping breakfast will help you maintain a healthy weight, you might want to think again. In fact, MyPlate recommendations include starting the day with a good breakfast.

MyPlate was developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to illustrate the five food groups that are the building blocks for a healthy diet, using the familiar image of a place setting for a meal.

Start with breakfast Eat a breakfast that helps you meet your food group needs. People who skip breakfast often weigh more. Eating a nutrient-dense breakfast may help you lose weight and keep it off.

By choosing a balanced breakfast, you can get off to the right start, and fill in the gaps in food groups likely to be missing in your diet. Milk is a perfect breakfast complement, yet more than eight out of 10 Americans still fall short of the recommended milk servings each day.

Milk is packed with nine essential nutrients, including eight grams of high-quality protein.

Along with building muscle and keeping bones strong, protein at breakfast can help you feel full and satisfied so you won’t feel hungry by mid-morning, which will help people stick to their weight management plan.

Studies show milk drinkers and breakfast eaters have more nutritious diets and tend to be leaner than non-milk drinkers and breakfast skippers.2,3,4 And to cut fat and calories, opt for fat free or low fat milk – they deliver the same nutrient-rich punch for fewer calories and less fat.

For more breakfast tips and recipes, visit http://thebreakfastproject.com/. Also, follow the Milk Mustache Campaign on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/MilkMustache, and Twitter @MilkMustache.

Skillet eggs and polenta Serve this morning meal with an 8-ounce glass of fat free milk and a slice of whole grain toast to start right with a serving of veggies, whole grain, protein and milk all before noon.

Makes: 4 servings 1 cup sliced mushrooms 1 cup red bell pepper, cut into strips 1 cup zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into half-moons 1 jar (32 ounces) marinara sauce 2 1/2 cups lowfat or fat free milk Salt 1/2 cup finely ground polenta or cornmeal 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided 4 eggs Chopped fresh basil (optional) Spray large nonstick skillet over medi-

um-high. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, and zucchini, and sauté until vegetables soften slightly, about 3 minutes.

Add marinara and simmer to heat through. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.

Bring milk and salt to a boil in medium saucepan over medium-high. Slowly whisk in polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat, cover, and keep warm.

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high.

Carefully crack eggs into pan and cook until whites are set and yolks are cooked to desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes.

To serve, divide polenta among 4 shallow serving bowls; top with marinara and an egg. Sprinkle with chopped basil if desired.

Start early for good oral health habits You may wonder whether it’s important to take care of your child’s first teeth, which will fall out in early childhood.

However, healthy adult teeth start with healthy teeth during childhood. That’s why starting infants off with good oral care can help protect their teeth for decades to come.

A baby’s 20 primary teeth are already present in the jaw at birth. Baby teeth that begin coming through the gums around six months help set the stage for future smiles by keeping space in the jaw for adult teeth. The American Dental Association recommends that parents take children to a dentist no later than their first birthday and then at intervals recommended by their dentist.

To help ensure you are well prepared to provide your little one a lifetime of good dental health, the experts at Ameritas offer this information about the leading oral health concerns for youngsters: - Cavities. Early childhood cavities is the No. 1 chronic disease affecting young children. It is five times more common than asthma and seven times more common than hay fever. Tooth pain keeps many children home from school or distracts them from learning.

Consumption of sugary foods, soda, juice or energy drinks increases the risk for tooth decay and gum disease, so minimizing these items is an important aspect of dental health. It’s also important to always brush teeth twice daily for two minutes and floss once a day.

Another option to protect children’s teeth is sealants, which act as barriers to cavity-prone areas. They are applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars after the teeth erupt and are completely above the

gum. Both primary and permanent teeth can benefit from sealants.

- Sports Injuries. Mouth guards can help protect children from a dental emergency.

They should be worn whenever children participate in sports and recreational activities. Mouth guards cushion blows that can otherwise cause broken teeth, injuries to the lips and face, and even jaw fractures. Mouth guards are available at many retail stores or may be custom-made by a dentist.

- Jaw and bite problems. Malocclusion, or bad bite, is a condition in which the teeth are crowded, crooked, out of alignment or the jaws don’t meet properly.

This may become particularly noticeable between ages six and 12, when a child’s permanent teeth are developing.

If not treated early, a bad bite can make it difficult to keep teeth and gums clean where teeth are crooked or crowded, increasing the risk for cavities and gum disease. Bad bites can also affect proper jaw development, making protruding teeth at risk for chips and fractures. It can also affect eating and speaking, and make some teeth more likely to wear abnormally or faster than those that are properly aligned.

Teaching children good oral hygiene habits early is a simple way to create a lifetime of happy, healthy smiles. Remember, modeling your own good oral hygiene habits not only reinforces your advice, it improves your own dental health.

For more information on children’s dental health visit the dental section at www. ameritasinsight.com, where you also can find out how recent health care reforms affect dental insurance.

Mind the kids Congestion-causing allergens are everywhere – on the bus, in the park, on our clothes and even in our hair.

To avoid any impact on

your family fun this spring, especially for the little ones, Dr. Stork says, “Keep congestion remedies on hand, like Arm & Hammer Simply Saline Baby Nasal Relief for both infants and kids.”

Wash away those allergens

Don’t ditch your favorite outdoor hobby just because you suffer from allergies, ditch the allergens stuck to clothes, bedding and bags.

After a day in the garden, at the ballpark or family picnic, remember to wash clothes, bedding and bags as often as possible.

The importance of hand washing has long been advised by health professionals, especially during the cold and flu season. However, a recent study found that only 95 percent of Americans admit it is important to wash their hands after using a public restroom. This is particularly true with women compared to men.

What’s even more interesting is that a growing number of consumers admit to simply rinsing their hands with water without using soap in public washrooms. In fact, this number has increased from 54 percent to 70 percent on the national level over the past two years. And just how long are they “washing” their hands? Suds or no suds, a majority of Americans do not wash their hands long enough.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the recommended time to wash one’s hands with soap and water in order to kill bacteria is at least 20 seconds.

These findings are part of the fifth annual Healthy Hand Washing Survey conducted by Bradley Corporation, a Milwaukee-based manufacturer of commercial plumbing fixtures and washroom accessories.

Getting Help Keeping a house running smoothly requires a lot of hard work. If you are no longer able to keep up with the demands, you may need to hire someone to do laundry, buy groceries, run errands, clean the house or perform any necessary repairs.

There are a number of services that can be brought in to assist with ADLs and other personal care. You can hire someone, such as a personal care aide or home health aide, to help you out a few hours a day or around the clock.

Some health care services can be provided at home by trained professionals, such as occupational therapists, social workers or home health nurses. Check with your insurance or health service to see what kind of coverage is available, although you may have to cover some of these costs out of pocket. If very specific conditions are met, Medicare will help pay for all or a portion of home health care.

Declining health often causes a decline in independence and mobility. Many seniors lose the ability to drive or simply feel uncomfortable behind the wheel at night. Investigate transportation options in your area so you can maintain an active social life, get medical care and shop for necessities.

Staying in your home should not mean being cut off from community activities you enjoy. Finding new ways to get around, even after you are no longer driving, may allow you to stay engaged and active.

FLU: Wash and thoroughly dry hands FROM PAGE 7B

hands more often and more thoroughly in response to news coverage. Sixty-six percent also reported washing their hands more frequently in response to news about seasonal flu outbreaks.

“These findings underscore the need for consumers to be mindful of good hand hygiene,” said Jon Dommisse, director of global marketing and strategic development for Bradley. “Everyone can play their part in preventing the spread of viruses such as influenza during the winter months.

Always remember, it takes less than a minute to effectively wash your hands.”

Stay healthy all year long To keep you and your family healthy, Bradley recommends five simple steps to effective hand washing: Wash More Frequently – It’s important to wash your hands not only after using the washroom, but, before and after preparing and eating food; before and after treating a wound; after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing; and after touching the garbage.

Count to 20 – Proper hand washing means scrubbing

with water and soap for at least 20 seconds or the time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice. Be sure to scrub the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.

Don’t Forget to Dry – Smart hand hygiene should not only include washing, but thoroughly drying hands as well. The most hygienic and sustainable method is using an energy-efficient dryer such as the one found on the allin-one touchless Advocate Lavatory System.

Hand Sanitizers Aren’t Enough – While 29 percent of consumers surveyed use a hand sanitizer, it may not be as effective when hands are visibly dirty. Anti-bacterial gel is not a substitute for soap and water, and should only be relied upon if hand washing facilities are not available.

Clean Hands Means Healthy Kids – Hand washing among school-age children is especially important because nearly 2.2 million children under the age of 5 die each year from diarrheal diseases and pneumonia, according to a 2011 study from the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. Kids should be taught healthy routines like hand washing at an early age.

For further information on hand hygiene find Bradley on Twitter @bradleycorp, Facebook/BradleyCorporation or visit http://www.bradleycorp.com/handwashing.

Gluten: Wheat Protein Explained

“Wheat, like all other food plants we eat, has undergone farmer selection and traditional breeding over the years,” states Brett Carver, PhD, wheat genetics chair in Agriculture at Oklahoma State University. “The hybridization that led to bread wheat occurred 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. All cultivated wheat varieties, both modern and heirloom varieties, have these hybridization events in common, so the kinds of protein (and gluten) present in today’s varieties reflect the proteins present throughout the domestication process of wheat.”

In case there is any doubt of this, scientists have carefully reviewed available data back to 1925 and have not found any evidence supporting increased gluten content due to wheat breeding over the past century. Dr. Guandalini, like many other celiac specialists, is frustrated by the myths about wheat that are promoted by talk show hosts, articles and websites.

“Genetically modified wheat is not commercially available anywhere in the world,” said Guandalini. “Wheat has been, and continues to be, a life-saving and nutritious grain for most people.”

Gluten is a protein matrix in wheat formed by gliadin and glutenin. It’s also present in barley and rye, and their many ancient grain ancestors. Gluten’s structure forms pockets that trap carbon dioxide released by leavening agents, such as yeast, baking powder or baking soda, giving bread and baked goods their texture. Gluten-free breads and products are denser and heavier because they can’t form air pockets without gluten.

Celiac disease, an autoimmune disease, is very real and affects about 1 in 141 people — less than 1 percent of the population. For people who have celiac, even a small amount of gluten is unsafe. When they eat it, their bodies immediately react, damaging the lining of their intestinal tract. The damage allows many proteins and other substances to enter the blood stream that should not, setting up physical reactions and digestive problems with serious health consequences.

Incidences of all autoimmune diseases are on the increase, with CD four times more common than it was 60 years ago. Research is being conducted by a number of leading medical and scientific institutions to investigate if changes in our gut bacteria might be the cause.

“It’s very important that people who have celiac get diagnosed and tested so that they can begin following a gluten-free diet as soon as possible. And, it’s something they have to stay on for the rest of their lives,” said Dr. Joseph Murray, celiac disease researcher at the Mayo Clinic.

seasoned rice mixes and seasoned tortilla or potato chips may contain small amounts of gluten,” said Tricia Thompson, registered dietitian and founder of the Gluten Free Watch Dog. “The new FDA labeling rules define ‘gluten-free’ foods as having less than 20 parts per million of gluten. This is extremely helpful for people with celiac disease or NCGS who must avoid all gluten, even in tiny amounts.”

According to the NPD Group, a leading market research firm that has followed nutrition trends for more than 20 years, the biggest driver behind the gluten-free trend is weight loss. In addition, gluten-free products can be significantly more expensive — one study showed an average of 242 percent higher in cost.

“Eliminating wheat products (bread, rolls, cereals, pasta, tortillas, cakes, cookies, crackers) will result in fewer calories, but important nutrients like B-vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and folic acid), and iron and fiber will also be lost,” said Pam Cureton with Boston’s Center for Celiac Research and chair of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ sub-practice group, Dietitians in Gluten Intolerance Diseases (DIGID). “Grains provide 43 percent of the fiber in the U.S. diet and wheat is approximately three-quarters of the grains eaten in the U.S. Nutritionally, many gluten-free products are not equal replacements for their wheat-containing counterparts.”

Cureton recommends that anyone thinking about starting a glutenfree diet see a skilled dietitian first to be sure it is nutritionally sound and to help guide them through the difficulties of the diet.

“Wheat, like all other food plants we eat, has undergone farmer selection and traditional breeding over the years,” states Brett Carver, PhD, wheat genetics chair in Agriculture at Oklahoma State University. “The hybridization that led to bread wheat occurred 8,000 to 10,000 years ago.

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is the other condition that proponents of a wheat-free lifestyle say affects everyone when in fact, research indicates that it, too, is quite rare. According to Dr. Guandalini, “Around 0.5 percent of people react to gluten in a way that is not a food allergy but is also not celiac.”

Dr. Alessio Fasano, one of the world’s top scientists in celiac disease and director of the Center for Celiac Research at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Mass., explained, “Some people simply don’t react well to gluten and feel better when it’s removed from the diet. Unfortunately, there is no test for NCGS and this is part of why going gluten-free has become ‘the’ answer to all that ails us digestively and otherwise. It’s unfortunate because there are a lot of causes besides gluten for digestive issues.”

“Following a gluten-free diet is very difficult and one must know how to read labels. Foods such as broths, soups, gravies, sauces,

Some promoters of the gluten-free lifestyle say that recent wheat breeding practices have led to higher, more “toxic” types of wheat.

They believe that such practices are increasing the rates of celiac and gluten sensitivity, even though you must have a gene to develop celiac disease.

Most of us can eat and enjoy the many varieties of wheat foods available to us. And, luckily, for the few of us who can’t, there are gluten-free options.

“The increased awareness by the food industry of the need for gluten-free foods has helped provide many options for those on gluten-free diets. There are more choices and better tasting products every day,” said Amy Jones, dietitian at Mary Rutan Hospital, Bellefontaine, Ohio, and chair-elect of DIGID. But for the vast majority of us, going gluten-free can be expensive, less nutritious and just plain unnecessary. The bottom line: gluten is a complex plant protein found in some of our favorite foods, and most of us have been tolerating it for thousands of years.

Mrs. Williams was an avid reader and had an insatiable thirst for knowledge. She was a walking encyclopedia.

She especially kept current on humanitarian issues and didn’t hesitate to express her opinions as to the atrocities of those less fortunate in the world. Her family used to tell her she’d make a great politician.

She loved to garden and always had a deep appreciation and respect for mother earth.

She was passionate about saving the trees, flowers, and plants for future generations to come, so much so, that for many years she transplanted endangered tree saplings and nurtured them to mature strong trees. She wanted that to be her legacy to her grandchildren.

She never wavered from her childhood love of animals. She adored and coddled her little yorkie, “Sammie.” It’s no wonder he never understood that he was actually a little Yorkie, and not one of the children or grandchildren, family said. She remained passionate about her love of horses, and would relish in reliving countless childhood memories of her and her two brothers, Donnie and Bobby riding like the wind on their thoroughbred horses.

She requested that no service be held, although her family said they continue to celebrate her life and rejoice.

Mrs. Williams was predeceased by her husband Ralph and daughter Karen, along with her great-grandchild Willie. She is survived by
