Border Patrol seizes 80 pounds of cocaine One man arrested on border in Pend Oreille County in January BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER
METALINE FALLS – One of the three men arrested April 30 with 80 pounds of cocaine had been arrested in January and removed from the country, according to U.S. Border Patrol spokesperson James Frackelton. Border Patrol agents arrested two Canadian citizens about 11 miles north of Metaline Falls April 30. A third man ran and hid from agents while a May snowstorm struck the area. He was captured the next day. “He was going places you and I would never go,” Frackelton said. “He really didn’t want to get caught.”
The Border Patrol called in a helicopter from the Border Patrol’s Spokane branch of the Office of Air and Marine to find him and make the arrest. The first two men captured were Canadian citizens, Frackelton said. The third man was a Mexican citizen. Frackelton declined to identify the men by name, but according to Pend Oreille County Sheriff’s logs, Jose Luis Galicias-Camacho, 34, was arrested and held at the Pend Oreille County Jail for a time. He is a Mexican citizen from Sonora, Mexico. Border Patrol agents had arrested Galicias-Comacho last January when he was found with a dead man, a 61-year-old Mexican citizen with U.S. resident alien sta-
tus who was living in the Los Angeles area. The other men arrested April 30 were identified in as Jose Daniel Gonzalez-Rodriguez, 26, and Jose Luis Alfredo Castro-Meji, 25. The cocaine was in three backpacks. It is valued at $801,000, Frackelton said. The arrests confirmed what Border Patrol agents have long suspected – that the Canadian border in northeast Washington is being used to smuggle cocaine. The cocaine is traded for Canadian marijuana and Ecstasy, Frackelton said. The three men are currently held without bond in the Spokane County Jail, facing federal charges of possession with intent to

This is 56 pounds of cocaine seized by Border Patrol agents April 30 about 11 miles north of Metaline Falls when they arrested two men. Agents later caught a third man with more cocaine, bringing the bust to about 80 pounds. The cocaine was valued at more than $800,000.

More pike to be removed from river BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER
NEWPORT – After the first round of gill netting to remove northern pike from the Pend Oreille River, biologists didn’t hit their target numbers. Another round of netting is underway. From mid-March through late April, the Kalispel Tribe of Indians, working in conjunction with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, set up 150-foot nets from Riverbend to Ashenfelter Bay, netting as many of the non-native fish as they could. The goal is to reduce the population by 87 percent, and about 4,500 fish were removed in the first round of netting. In late April, biologists conducted the annual spring index survey to find out how many pike were still
out there. They caught 131 pike for the survey by randomly setting 60 nets throughout the Box Canyon reservoir. They had hoped to catch an average 1.73 pike per net in the southern part of the reservoir where the pike are more abundant. Instead, they came up with 2.9 pike per net. This means they feel there are still too many pike. They were closer to the target in the northern end. The goal was a 0.5 pike per net average, but they caught 0.8 fish. “There is far less suitable habitat in the north,” explained Jason Conner, fisheries project manager for the Kalispel Natural Resources Department.

Scott Avenue torn up Scott Avenue in Newport is under construction as Pend Oreille County creates two ADA accessible parking spots and a ramp to the back door of the courthouse. County crews are doing the demolition work, and a contractor will do the curb and sidewalk work. The project is expected to last two or three weeks. It is paid for through a voting accessibility grant totaling nearly $50,000.

|| Chamber hires another executive director NEWPORT – Three months after hiring Barry Seward of Spokane for the position, the Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce announced this week that Valorie Hein has been appointed to the position. The chamber did not indicate why Seward is no longer with the organization, but wished him luck in his future endeavors. Hein was previously the operations manager at the Shanty boutique in Newport. She was also a member of the chamber’s board of directors, serving as treasurer. Hein obtained both a Bachelor of Arts in urban and regional planning and a Master of Public Administration, each from Eastern Washington University. She has worked for private companies and govern-
B R I E F LY
ment agencies, all of which have helped her understand the obstacles and opportunities of today’s economic climate, chamber officials said. Hein and her family reside in Newport. In order to take on the executive director position, Hein resigned from the chamber’s board and as treasurer. Greg Jakeman has been appointed the new treasurer and Laura Merrill, county commissioner and board member, will take over Jakeman’s former position as secretary.
Use of county sand raises questions NEWPORT – During icy winter months, Pend Oreille County has always opened its road department’s sand piles up for public use. Public works di-
At milepost 408.5, the road is reduced to one lane with a temporary signal controlling alternating traffic 24 hours a day. The speed limit is reduced to 25 mph in that area, and loads more than 16 feet wide will need to be rerouted. The work should take about three weeks. It’s a project that Riverview Bible Camp has been working to bring to fruition since 2005, said Lisa Greer, who’s leading the project for the Bible camp. Riverview encompasses 74 acres owned
by Fourth Memorial Church of Spokane since 1959. The main portion of the camp is on the river, but some cabins, staff housing and the new zip lines, high ropes and paintball area are on the other side of the highway. With about 4,000 kids visiting the camp each summer, Greer says it’s a safety issue. “It’s been a concern for decades,” she said. Funding for this nearly $400,000 project SEE HIGHWAY, 2A

rector Sam Castro noted this could be seen as gifting of public funds. He estimates each 5-gallon bucket of sand costs the county 50 cents to a dollar. No decisions were made when Castro brought the issue to commissioners Monday. He said it will be something to consider for next season. He noted he is not sure how many people use the county’s sand, but he said they did see an increase in use last winter. He indicated any new rules on the use of county sand wouldn’t be applied in emergency flood situations when people use it to fill sandbags.

was through private individuals wanting to invest in the mission of camp as well as two grants from MJ Murdock Charitable Trust out of Vancouver, Wash., and the Greenstone Foundation from Liberty Lake. Kretz Construction of Spokane is doing the work. The tunnel will be about 10 ½ feet in diameter and it will be lit. When the church originally purchased the property with 750 feet of waterfront, facilities including a tavern and tiny restaurant, a dance hall, an abandoned farmhouse, two outdoor latrines and nine run-down cabins with potbellied stoves. It was transformed over the years into a camp facility that can lodge almost 400 campers with more than 40 activities including: a four-story gunny sack slide, a 70-foot vertical playground, a 40-foot climbing wall and a 100-foot bouldering wall with a cave, 3-D archery, and indoor and outdoor skate park, sports fields, sand volleyball pits, a gym, swimming pool, a nine-hole disc golf course. Greer says the facility is operated mostly as a rental facility. It was the church’s original mission to open Riverview to others in the greater Spokane area. Riverview has youth winter and summer camps and hosts more than 70 different groups a year. An open house is planned in the fall to celebrate the completion of the tunnel project. The date is set for Saturday, Sept. 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. RSVP at www.riverviewbiblecamp.com.

Suspects in three Diamond Lake burglary cases arraigned BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER
NEWPORT – Two Spokane people being held for three burglaries in the Diamond Lake area pled not guilty when they appeared in Pend Oreille County Superior Court Thursday, May 3. Zachary T. Harris, 23, is facing three counts of residential burglary and two counts of malicious mischief in connection with three break-ins that occurred the third week in April. Harris, who has a criminal record, was being held on a $25,000 bond, which defense attorney Robin McCroskey said was excessive. Judge Allen Nielson said he was concerned about the past convictions, but said $25,000 bond was a little high and lowered it to $10,000. Harris is also facing charges of marijuana possession and possession of paraphernalia in District Court. Ashley C. Spencer, 24, was also arraigned for the same incident. She also pled not guilty to three
counts of residential burglary and two counts of malicious mischief. Spencer’s husband was in the courtroom, as were her grandparents and mother. Her husband is in the military serving in South Korea and came back for the proceeding, deputy prosecutor Dolly Hunt said. “There is some concern on the family’s part about alcohol,” if Spencer were released, Hunt said. One of the residences she and Harris are accused of burglarizing and damaging belongs to her grandparents. According to charging documents, her grandmother wants her prosecuted “to the fullest extent of the law.” Spencer is being held on $7,500 bond, which Hunt wanted left in place. Her record shows a bond forfeiture for recreational fishing, Hunt said. Hunt said there may be additional charges. Defense attorney Barrett Scudder argued that Spencer wasn’t a flight risk and there was no showing that she has ever failed
to appear for a court date. He asked that she be released on her own recognizance or that the bail be lowered. Nielson said he was concerned about the reckless and destructive behavior that was outlined in the probable cause document, but lowered the bail to $10,000. He said the destruction of property in her grandmother’s home gave him cause to wonder of Spencer’s behavior when she was drinking. He ordered her to stay away from bars and taverns and not to drink alcohol. Spencer and Harris are accused of three break-ins in the Diamond Lake area. A worker noticed one of the homes had been broken into and called sheriff’s deputies. When they arrived, they heard another burglar alarm going off. While they were investigating that, Spencer came out to her car, which was parked in the driveway of one of the homes. According to charging documents, she said she was staying at her grandmother’s house. Harris was found inside the home.

Forger gets sentencing alternative BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER
NEPWORT – A Newport man convicted in connection with a multi-person forgery ring was given a Drug Offender Sentencing Alternative when he appeared in Pend Oreille Superior Court Thursday, May 3. Chad Nathan Dunn, 36, of Spokane was convicted of first degree forgery and third degree theft for opening a bank account with a forged check in April 2011. A third charge of identity theft was dismissed. He was part of a forgery ring organized by Michelle Mason, who was convicted in federal court and is awaiting sentencing. Dunn, who has several drug convictions, including convictions for possession of meth, will
go into residential drug treatment in a drug rehabilitation facility in Spokane. How much time isn’t yet known, defense attorney Robin McCroskey said. Dunn was facing a standard sentence of 12-14 months in prison on the forgery charge and 0-364 days in jail for the theft conviction. He will spend up to six months in the residential drug treatment facility. Dunn told Judge Allen Nielson he appreciated the chance to avoid jail. “I appreciate the opportunity to get my life back together,” he said. Nielson said that the literature on these types of crimes show that people can turn themselves around. “But it’s not easy,” he said. Dunn was assessed financial charges of $1,750, including $250
for a public defender and $75 restitution for the check.

Now biomass is the environment’s enemy?

Newport Rodeo great attraction; give them a hand
When environmental organizations pushed Washington voters to approve their renewable energy Initiative 937, they touted biomass energy – incinerated wood waste – as one of their preferred alternatives to fossil fuel. They reasoned that biomass energy plants would help GUEST clear forests OPINION of flammable wood debris DON C. from dead BRUNELL and diseased ASSOCIATION OF timber, put WASHINGTON idled loggers BUSINESS PRESIDENT and millworkers back to work and produce cleaner, more affordable energy. But since voters narrowly approved the initiative in 2006, many of those same activists are battling against biomass projects. They now claim that microscopic nanoparticulates created by incinerating wood waste are a health hazard, even though those plants have been approved by government agencies. They want to block all proposed biomass projects until nanoparticulates are fully investigated and the EPA can promulgate regulations. That could take years, but that’s okay with opponents because by then the plants will have been canceled because of indecision and delay. The opposition to biomass is disheartening to devastated timber communities on the Olympic Peninsula where unemployment ranges from 11.2 percent to 13.9 percent. Even before the Great Recession hit, these communities were decimated by deep cuts in state and federal timber harvests and endangered species regulations that put forests off-limits to protect the spotted owl. Even with the vast woods put off limits, the University of Washington’s Olympic Natural Resources Center reports there is currently enough wood debris on the Olympic Peninsula to operate six biomass plants. Two of those biomass projects are attached to paper mills in Port Angeles and Port Townsend. The Port Townsend Paper Company’s $55 million biomass plant would create 30 new jobs, save 1.8 million gallons of oil and cut particulate emissions by 70 percent. Nippon’s Port Angeles facility would cost $71 million and replace a 1950’s era boiler that was not designed to alleviate greenhouse gases. For Olympic Peninsula work-

uring a recent visit to Scottsdale, Ariz., we found our way to a tavern that a young bellman from Seattle said was awesome on a Friday night. Like all the tourists and well-healed local snowbirds we wanted a taste of the old West. He drove us down in the hotel van to the wooden building tucked between exotic golf courses, expensive shops and new homes on desert themed landscaped cul-de-sacs. The parking lot was full of BMWs and new Escalades. And full was an understatement. Hundreds of people, some dressed up like cowboys and cowgirls (more like John Travolta’s movie family than a real ranch family) were packed into the giant room with beer, barbecue and country music delivered by smiling cowgirls. But the real attraction was out back: Rodeo. Yes, real bull riding every Wednesday and Friday nights. The packed inside was tame compared to the outside with hundreds shouldering up around the rodeo arena. The barbecue was going and the music rocking as the announcer barked out the name of a cowboy or cowgirl holding on to a bucking bull. People smiled and cheered. The mini arena had only about three chutes but was designed by someone who had toured the real thing, maybe in Newport or Cheney. The announcer booth was simulated rough rodeo; it could have been a replica of the one in Newport. The announcer kept entertaining while explaining how hard the cowboys were working and how much fun the kids were having in the mutton busting rides. Many of these people had clearly never seen a rodeo before – or maybe even a long horned, spitting bull. The crowd loved it and everyone seemed like they had been transformed into old cowhands, 100 years ago, coming to a ranch to cheer on the best cowboys in the region. If someone was selling cowboy hats, they would have sold them all in minutes to this wanna-be-a-cowboy-or-cowgirl crowd. This tavern created a major attraction that everyone loved and spent money supporting – something our community has taken for granted. Newport already has the real thing every June, thanks to the Newport Rodeo Association. Businesses and organizations seem to have forgotten what a gem of an attraction they have to build around. It takes some planning and work but people will come and love it. Many communities are envious of Newport and its rodeo celebration. Give the organizers a hand; don’t let the real thing die and become moneymakers for Arizona tourist cities. --FJW
Eyman’s backed by all “Well, how does it feel?” I asked Tim Eyman, to have two wellheeled outfits like the Association of Washington Business and the Washington State Farm Bureau jump on the bandwagon for your latest initiative? Not to mention the Seattle Times? “Familiar, compared to 2010 when we did 1-1053,” he said. “We opened up all possibility of support from the business community and we worked well together. Success begets success. We had a successful collaborative effort.” Since this one, I-1185, appears to be virtually identical to 1-1053 in requiring a two-thirds vote in the House and Senate for tax increases in the next two years unless referred to the ballot, I said, are you going to have to do this every two years? “Yes,” said Eyman. “It’s absurd but the state of Washington doesn’t allow citizens to propose constitutional amendments.” As for the Seattle Times endorsement, “In 2010, we literally had every newspaper in the state for us. Some kind of didn’t like it but accepted the fact that the voters wanted it. The voters have spoken for this every time it has been on the ballot, 64 percent approval in 2010.” The reason it keeps coming back is because when it passes, not only does it take a two thirds vote in the legislature to increase taxes, it takes two thirds to amend or overturn the initiative. In the third year, however, lawmakers can do either with a simple majority and have done it three times. The two-thirds requirement from 1-1053 holds until November of this year. Lawmakers were forced to cut spending and reform government instead, which Democrats in particular don’t like to do. If I-1185
makes it to the ballot and passes, we’ll be safe from tax increases through the 2013 and 2014 sessions. Isn’t it a shame, I said, the way people who pretend to be conservative and thrifty while campaigning to become pubGUEST lic servants, OPINION go wild with the people’s ADELE money once FERGUSON they get the CORRESPONDENT chance? “It’s amazing,” he said. “Suppose we remove representative and replace it with ruler. If you truly represent an area you say, OK, the voters voted for this every time it’s on the ballot, in good times and bad times. I’m going to accept what the voters want, you say. A ruler says I don’t care what the voters want. I don’t want a limit when I want to raise taxes. I want it easier to do. I don’t want it tougher to raise taxes.” I-1185 is the perfect insurance policy, Eyman said. “By that, I mean regardless of who wins the governor’s race or who controls Olympia, the two thirds vote requirement provides perfect protection.” It takes money to collect the 241,000 valid signatures needed to quality 1-1185 for the ballot and Eyman estimates it will cost a million dollars if not $1.5 million. The last time one of his initiatives reached its third year without renewal, the legislature hit us with $6.7 billion in tax increases. SEE FERGUSON, 5A
|| Both parties have domineering mother To the editor: Both Republicans and Democrats have the same political mother. It’s a mother that dominates her children with smothering control of their lives. Both parties propose budgets that spend $900 billion more than the government collects in revenue. The money is given to political donors or base groups to secure votes for the coming election. Running the federal government like a family would have the mother quitting her job and maxing out all the family credit cards. The children would fight and complain about who got the most from the borrowed credit. The father would side with one child over another and verbally abuse the mother. Our political family needs counseling. Our therapist notes that Republicans and Democrats spend all of their energy demonizing each other and blocking all efforts to cooperate. They take “line in the sand” positions that can’t be moved for any reason. It’s all or nothing thinking, so the county ends up with nothing productive from our political institutions. The government barely functions on two economic flat tires. Somehow we need to find a way to progress through compromise. We don’t have to give up beliefs, but act on common interests. Every po-

litical family wants a roof over their head and food to eat, so why would they waste all of their energy arguing about the color of their house or if the food is cooked with gas or electricity? In the coming elections our local community will choose red paint for the house and ban the use of gas for cooking. The roof will still leak and our family might not have any food to cook with the mandated electricity. How can that be a good for our political family? We need to vote for change, and not re-elect candidates that can’t. -Pete Scobby Newport

NRP protects gun ownership To the editor: Ole’ Pete Scobby said the

government doesn’t want your guns in reply to Michael Wilson’s letter last week. Actually, Michael was right! But, Pete was right also. They don’t want them, but they don’t want you to have them either! The fact that they can do nothing or at best very little about criminals carrying guns makes the anti-gun people turn to the honest people, who have gone through the FBI checks on their background (and yes, a few nuts slip through), the waiting periods, the dealers’ registration paperwork, and the costs involved. They buy them for hunting, some for sport, others to help feed their families, for competitive shooting, for collecting antiques and for family or home protection. Without the NRA legal arm to speak for gun owners like me and many of my neighbors before the Supreme Court or District Court, the Clintons and the Obamas would already have forced registration on us. And everywhere that registration has been required in this world, it has been in time followed by confiscation! I pay what I feel is a fair share to the NRA to have them speak for me. Just as the AAA or the RNP or the DNP groups speak for Democrats or whatever group of people feel the need for national or Washington D.C. based front line people! -Larry Connelly Cusick

Flowery Trail burglary suspects plead not guilty BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER
NEWPORT – Bail for one of the three suspects in a Flowery Road burglary was lowered when they appeared for arraignment before Pend Oreille County Superior Court Judge Allen Nielson Thursday, May 3. Sarah E. Savage, 22, appeared first. She pled not guilty to residential burglary, first-degree theft and second-degree trafficking in stolen property. She is free on $7,500 bond. Zane E. Lumpkin, 29, also pled not guilty to the same charges when he appeared. He was being held on $50,000 bond but deputy prosecutor Tony Koures said he wanted the bail raised to $75,000 because of what he called Lumpkin’s escalating threatening behavior. Lumpkin is facing charges of
harassment threats to kill in an separate incident. He has previous burglary and stolen property convictions, Koures said. He said Lumpkin had told Savage she had better change her story when they passed in the hall during one of the court appearances. Savage, according to charging documents, gave an audio taped statement in which she said she and Lumpkin burglarized the Flowery Road residence. “These people are afraid Mr. Lumpkin will carry out these threats,” Koures said. Defense attorney Peter Jones said that a $50,000 bond was too high. He said Lumpkin didn’t threaten anyone. He said most of the stolen property was found in a bedroom shared by Savage and Remington Lumpkin. Nielson said that a $50,000 bond on a property crime was
high. “It normally would be lower,” he said. But recent allegations against Zane Lumpkin were concerning he said, and he left it at $50,000. Remington B. Lumpkin, 31, was the third defendant to appear. He pled not guilty to possession of stolen property and trafficking in stolen property. He was being held on $50,000 bond. Koures said he had past convictions for burglary, assault and trafficking in stolen property. Defense attorney Barratt Scudder said that a $50,000 bail was too high. He asked that Lumpkin be released on his own recognizance or have the bail lowered. He said there was a presumption of innocence and release on bail. He said Lumpkin’s felony history was in 2004. Lumpkin has family in the area and a child with Savage, he said. Scudder said that Lumpkin could
ers and their struggling families, the opposition to biomass projects is both puzzling and frustrating. Fifty years ago, wood waste from state, federal and private timber harvests was burned in crude, inefficient cone-shaped burners, often blanketing the skies with brownish-gray smoke. But today’s sawmills and paper mills burn wood waste in efficient wood-fired furnaces that produce heat and steam for papermaking and create enough electricity to run the mills and provide power for neighboring homes. For example, Sierra Pacific, which has a modern sawmill at Aberdeen and a total of six biomass generating plants, turns wood waste into electricity for 150,000 homes and businesses. Without income from power sales, the plants would have been forced to severely curtail operations, lay off workers or close. Some activists would like to see our forests locked away, put off limits to all human activity. But like the rest of nature, forests are dynamic, always changing. Trees grow, trees die, and over

the years, volatile wood debris builds up on the forest floor, creating fuel for mammoth fires. For example, in just two days during 1902, our state’s largest wildfire, known as the Yacolt Burn, destroyed more than 370 square miles of forestlands around Mt. St. Helens and killed 38 people in Clark, Cowlitz and Skamania counties. Today, we have the ability to prevent such massive destruction, but will we?

live with his mother if he were released on bond and has a chance of getting his job back. Scudder said the probable cause for Lumpkin’s charges were “pretty thin,” just two paragraphs. Nielson said that he would lower the bond to $25,000. “That’s high for this kind of crime,” he said. “But at some point your history counts against you.” He said whether the case is weak or not would be decided at trial. The three are charged in connection with an April 10 burglary in which three generators, musical instruments, a stamp collection and other collectables, such as metal lunch boxes, comic books and Hot Wheels cars were taken and offered for sale.

IONE – Sheriff Alan Botzheim provided a report for the Ione town council about activity in April. One call classified under malicious mischief occurred when a vehicle was left on Main Street overnight and was vandalized. Young adults threw eggs at a vehicle and home. They were confronted and cleaned up the mess, Botzheim said in the report. The victim did not want to pursue charges.
There was one instance of harassment when a subject trespassed at the Food Court, directing rude and explicit language at an employee. There was an iPod stolen from a stroller left outside of the library. Four wheelers racing on Main Street and Houghton were citied with a traffic violation. In other traffic cases, two traffic infractions were written and two verbal warnings were given.

Athletes sharpen focus for post season track BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER
NEWPORT – It was the Newport boys and the Priest River girls that broke 100 points for the top team spots at the Newport Invite Saturday, May 5. As the track and field season winds down, it was Newport’s last home meet and the last meet of the regular season for both teams before districts and the road to state begins. Times and distances are improving for both teams. Priest River’s distance girls are knocking some seconds off. Steffie Pavey had a personal record in the 1,600, winning it at 5:56.30. She also won the 800. Erica McCracken had her best time in the 3,200, winning at 13:10. Priest River thrower Beth Bykerk took first with a PR 36 feet, 9.5 inches. And on the boys’ side, Dallas Hopkins ran his best time for second place in the 400. For Newport, it was Jake Wiley winning all the sprint events. He had his best time yet in the 400 (at 50.17 seconds). He’s getting closer to the 1965 school record set at 48.48 by Bill Von Rossum. SEE TRACK, 4B

All scores carded Monday, carry over and combine with next week’s scores. Jon Mason (99), Josh Mason (108), and Tesdahl (105), played well and with a strong showing
next week, have a chance of as well. Ryan Sample and Bruce Kirtley also showed well but came up a little short of qualifying. On the ladies’ side, Caytlin Nenema (117) impressed with a ninth place finish at Liberty Lake Golf Course. “She’s a powerful player that has improved each week,” Sattleen said. She needs to move up to “top eight” to qualify for state. “Overall, we were pleased with the efforts and results. Our team score for the boys gave us a fourth place finish of the ten teams that participated. Nenema scored 12 points for a seventh place team

Fish for free in Idaho June 9 BOISE – Saturday, June 9 is Free Fishing Day in Idaho, and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game invites veteran and novice anglers of all ages, residents and nonresidents alike, to celebrate the day by fishing anywhere in Idaho without a license. Though fishing license requirements are suspended for this special day, all other rules, such as limits or tackle restrictions, remain in effect. Free fishing day provides an opportunity for novices to give fishing a try and perhaps develop it into a life-long pursuit, Fish and Game officials say. Lack of fishing experience is no excuse. At special locations around the state, equipment will be available for use, and fishing experts will be on hand to help novice anglers learn the ins and outs of fishing.
score on the girls’ side. Cusick went to Colville Tuesday, May 1 for a “top six” league match. The Panther boys finished third out of the eight-team field. “This was a welcome surprise to finish so high with our lack of experience,” coach Jim Sattleen said. “We’re starting to play better at the right time.” Quenten Cole finished fifth overall with an 88.

Both games were played in Bonners Ferry. The team responded to the challenge, Spartan coach Mark Schultz said. “The boys fought the whole game, as we took an early lead and the game got tied and we went to extra innings,” he said. The score was knotted at five all when the seventh inning was through. Dalton Sommer went 3-5 at bat, hitting two RBIs. He also pitched the last inning and a half. “He got us out of a jam in the eighth,” Schultz said. “With the bases loaded, he struck out the last two batters.” The Spartans scored twice in the top of the eighth and Bonners Ferry answered with a run but couldn’t get O N D EC K: another.

They were trailing 2-1 going into the fourth inning, when they tied the game, scoring again in the last inning to cement the win.

REPUBLIC – The season is winding down and track and field athletes are working to be at the top of their game to make it to the state meet. The Cusick and Selkirk teams had their final regular season Panorama League meet May 1 in Republic. Cusick senior Roma Chantry is looking ready for the post season. He won the 800-meter run
last week, keeping just seconds ahead of challengers from Curlew and Wellpinit. Selkirk sophomore Beau Taylor will be looking to qualify in a few events. He improved his triple jump to take third place last week, jumping 36 feet, 2.5 inches. He was third in the 200 and fourth in the 100. Ranger senior Josh Ross is on track to qualify in the throws. He had a season best in the shot put (3407.75) for third place and was
second in the discus (96-08). For Cusick, sophomores Warren Piengkham and Nolan Finley will be vying for spots in the sprint and mid-distance events. At Republic, Piengkham was fifth in the 200, and Finley was fourth in the 400. Sophomore Quinton Montgomery is also keeping up in the sprints and the throws. In the girls events, Selkirk sophomore Georgie Shafter has a shot at some state medals. She’s
currently ranked first amongst 1B 400 meter runners, and the 100 and 300-meter hurdlers. She’s third in the 100 behind a Northport sprinter who beat Shafer at Republic by three tenths of a second. Cusick also has some promising runners. At the league meet, freshman Bridget Fountain took second in the 800, junior Sherryll Wynne was fourth in SEE PREP, 4B

Selkirk Superstars compete at spring games SPOKANE VALLEY – The Selkirk Superstars Special Olympics Team got a special honor at the opening ceremonies of the spring games this past weekend. It was team member Danny Woelk who got to carry the torch to light the cauldron. The auditorium at Center Place in Spokane Valley was packed with about 500 contestants and many family members, friends and volunteers. Spokane Valley mayor Tom Towey, Spokane Valley police chief Rick Van Leuven, and Sen. Mike Padden from District 4 all spoke. The string orchestra from Central Valley High School played three songs, a 10-year old sang the National Anthem, and a youth ballet group performed a couple dances. “It warms your heart to see
the enthusiasm and excitement the contestants have,” said Kim Knapp, who followed the Superstars from Pend Oreille County. “They’re a great audience – cheering, greeting new speakers, laughing freely. It’s a priceless experience.” The eastern regional games were held May 4-5 with more than 60 teams competing. Events took place Saturday at Eastern Washington University and Cheney High School. The Selkirk Superstars includes 13 athletes that range in age from 32 to 64, coached by Trent Hanson, Dale Bryant and Kevin Lawrence. Gold medal winners will advance to Summer Games held at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Tacoma June 1-3. Most everyone from the Superstars earned medals.

Friday, May 4, the Lady Griz beat Chewelah in both games of a doubleheader. “The girls trailed pretty much the whole first game, but they kept fighting,” Douglas said. Newport won the first game 7-5 after scoring a run in the first and fourth innings. With two outs in the sixth, Chewelah intentionally walked Douglas and Shauna Over and hit Alex Abercrombie to load up the bases. Clean-up hitter Chaleigh Kirkwood did just that, hitting a grand slam to give Newport a
two-run lead. Douglas and Kirkwood teamed up on the mound and behind the plate. Kirkwood also hit a double for Newport and Douglas hit a triple and a single. Over hit two singles and Alex Abercrombie hit one single. Newport won again in the second game, 3-2, with a run in the first inning and two more in the third. Chewelah’s only two runs came in the top of the first inning. Kirkwood hit a triple, Douglas hit a double, and Tamarah Bund and Alex Abercrombie each hit singles.

The team had to wait until 4 p.m. to play Colville for another loser out game to advance to the bi-district meet. After waiting most of the day to play, his players were out of gas, Henry said. “Colville was up by five in the first three innings,” Henry said. Newport had a chance, though. “We had the bases loaded with one out in the fifth inning, but we couldn’t bring them in,” Henry said. Still, Newport worked its way back into the game, pulling to within two after a three run sixth inning.
But they couldn’t get any closer and Colville added another run in the last inning to win 7-4 and secure the third and last slot for the bi-district tournament. Chewelah ended up beating Lakeside for the tournament championship. Henry said he thinks the Newport team did pretty well, considering they were down to 10 players for the last game. They never had more than a dozen players. “We did a lot better than many in the league thought we would,” he said. Newport finished with a 6-9 Northeast A league record and were 5-10 overall.

Earlier in the week, Priest River played Sandpoint on Tuesday, May 1, losing both ends of the doubleheader – 12-2 and 7-3. “In the first game our of-

The Sparts played much better in the second game, said Schultz. They committed a couple errors in the sixth inning that led to the Sandpoint runs. The Spartans finished the season with an 8-12 overall record and were 6-6 in league. They finished third in the Intermountain League. The Spartans will play St. Maries at Timberlake Friday, May 11 at 1 p.m. “We’ve got to go into districts with the mindset of ‘one game at a time,’” Schultz said.

Charles H. Rodney Priest River
Charles H. “Chuck” Rodney passed away May 1 at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane after a short illness. He was 94. He was born in Buffalo, N.Y., Oct. Rodney 13, 1917. After serving in the U.S. Navy prior to World War II, he came to the Priest River area as a Civilian Conservation Corps worker. Mr. Rodney had a variety of jobs in the Priest River area – heavy equipment operator, his own logging business, chief of police and barber. He went to barber school and worked in Spokane. While in the CCC’s he met and married Edith Binkley. They resided in Priest River until 1970 when they moved to Fairbanks, Alaska, to be near their children. After the death of his wife in 1974, he moved to Spokane and resided with his daughter until he married Marie Woods of Priest River in 1976, who had been a former neighbor. He had his own barbershop in Priest River and worked until his failing vision forced him to retire at age 86. He and Marie were married for 36 years until her death April 16, 2012. Mr. Rodney started boxing in New York when he was a young boy and continued until he was discharged from the Navy. A former world champion said he had the fastest left hook he had ever seen. He always had a smile for the thought. He was a perfectionist and had a great deal of integrity. Against the advice of his family and neighbors, he shoveled snow from his roof and worked in the yard as much as he could. He refused to apply for heating assistance by saying “there are people who need it more than I do.” He was a good husband, father, grandfather, and step-grandfather and he will be missed very much, family said. He is survived by his daughter Sandy Westensee (and Denny) of Spokane, his granddaughters Linda Kelling (and Duane Murphy), Karla Sclater (and Craig), two great-grandchildren and his stepdaughter Paula McCall (and Bob) of Rathdrum.
Beverly A. Waechter Newport
Beverly A. Waechter of Newport passed away suddenly and unexpectedly April 30. She was 80. She was born in Sioux City, Iowa, Aug. 31, 1931. She is survived by her husband of 64 years, Thomas Waechter, and their three daughters: Donna Zehner of Monmouth, Ore., Cheri Rose (and Tim Lithgow) of Otis Orchards, Wash., and Lois (and Ken) Koehler of Deer Park. There will be a memorial service Saturday, May 19 at 1:30 p.m. at American Lutheran Church, 332801 Highway 2 in Newport. Sherman-Knapp Funeral Home in Newport is in charge of arrangements. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www.shermanknapp.com. He was preceded in death by his wife, Marie, his parents, a brother George, twin sisters Gladys and Virginia, and stepdaughter Shirley Gillaspie. The family would like to thank all of the neighbors for their kindness to Chuck and Marie. It was an accumulation of these things that allowed them to reside in their residence the last few years, a good reflection of the type of people who reside in Priest River, they said. Sherman-Knapp Funeral Home in Newport is in charge of arrangements. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www.shermanknapp.com.

Idaho texting ban takes effect July 1 Offers say enforcement will be an issue BOISE – Texting while driving is always a dangerous choice. After July 1, it will also be an illegal and costly decision. Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter signed legislation this month making texting while driving an infraction and making Idaho the 37th state to enact a textingwhile-driving ban. Banning the use of smart phones and other hand-held devices to manually review, prepare or send written communications while operating a motor vehicle, the new law will receive primary enforcement — police can stop and cite offenders for that violation alone — but offenses are not moving violations. Also, there are no points assessed against the driver’s license. Violators can expect to pay $85 if caught by a law enforcement officer. The state already had misdemeanor penalties for inattentive driving, but until now, no specific law banning texting while driving. Those opposing the law argue that it makes Idaho a nanny state of sorts for banning texting when it is already covered under the state’s inattentive driving statute. But perhaps the most-used argument against the law is how to enforce it. The bill becomes law on July 1 and carries an $85 fine. There was a lot of support by law enforcement during testimony on the bill, but now that it’s going to become law, not everyone is in agreement on enforcement. “I think it’s going to be difficult to enforce to tell you the truth,” Lt. Paul Manning, public information officer for the Pocatello Police Department, told IdahoReporter.com. Manning says other forms of distracted driving, such as dialing a phone number or messing around with a stereo, are enforceable under the current inattentive driving part of Idaho Code. Manning said without directly seeing someone in the act of texting, it will be hard to prove someone is violating the law. “Basically, you’re going to have to see somebody doing it. You’re going to have to catch them in the act. I mean, there are investigative methods. Like, if you had a traffic accident, as part of the investigation you could get permission to search
their phone and see if they were texting at the time of the accident. You could kind of reconstruct it that way.” Another police official, Capt. Steve Richardson of Idaho State Police, said enforcement will be vary depending on the situation, and agreed with Manning about accidents and texting. “It’s really
situational, depending on what the circumstances are at the time and what observations that officer is able to make as well as conversation with the motorist. It’s just, what does the officer observe and does it reasonably appear that the officer can make the distinction as to what the motorist is doing at the time, while they’re in traffic.

Hydrotherapy is the use of water to provide a positive outcome such as pain relief, relaxation, stress relief, etc. As far back as the Old Testament of the Bible, people have come to bodies of water for their healing properties. Women have been crawling into water during labor for thousands of years. No one knows for sure why water is relaxing and soothing during labor. Some think that it is the buoyancy of the water that eases the pressure of the contractions, others think it is the warmth; still others think that the familiarity of bathing is what leads to the relaxation and pain relief. For many women it is all they need to get through labor. It can also be used to help babies move into a position that makes birth easier for both mother and baby. There is a wide variety of pain relief options during labor and birth. Information is now available through reading books, newspapers and magazines, the Internet, discussions with your prenatal care provider, and childbirth education classes. You will learn about relaxation techniques such as visual imagery, hydrotherapy, doulas (professional labor support people), acupuncture, injectable
pain medicines, epidural anesthesia and more. Through published studies on the use of hydrotherapy during labor we know that it is effective and safe for most mothers and babies. Even after your water breaks there is no increased risk of infection to you or the baby, unless your water has been broken for more than 24 hours. Your prenatal care provider will let you know if you have risk factors that prevent using hydrotherapy in labor. However, with new portable fetal monitoring systems, some women who at one time were considered too high risk for hydrotherapy are now able to enjoy it. The best tubs to use during labor are deep. More relief is gained from tubs that are deep enough to be filled to cover most if not all of the abdomen of the laboring woman. Wide tubs allow more freedom of movement, but tubs that are too long don’t provide firm footing to prevent sliding around in the tub. Temperature of the water is another consideration. Many women prefer to control the water temperature themselves. This can be done by either having a tub that automatically maintains the water temperature, or by letting out a small amount of tepid water and
replacing it with hotter water. Many tubs have jets that can be used to aid relaxation and massage tense muscles. If you decide to use hydrotherapy during your labor, keep in mind that sitting in a tub of warm water can increase your need for fluid intake. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids. It is also important to remember that you need to empty your bladder frequently while laboring. A full bladder can take up so much room that it gets in the way of the baby’s downward progress through the birth canal and can actually prolong your labor. The birthing rooms at Newport Community Hospital have wide, deep, jetted tubs. Most women who decide to use them report that they are Melissa Wilson, relaxing and help Certified them cope with the Nurse/Midwife pain of labor.
