Newport schools feeling money pressure BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

Sunshine shows between showers on the Oldtown Bridge Between rain showers Monday evening, May 14, the sun shines on the Oldtown Bridge. To the right, you can see the progress on the water tank road for the Oldtown water system expansion. The road now passes the aspen grove on the Jim and Bobbie Ward property, and the site has been cleared for the tank. Construction of the tank won’t likely begin until August. The road should be complete in the next few weeks.

NEWPORT – The federal sequester, declining enrollment and a change in some state funding are among the things that are putting pressure on the Newport School District’s finances. School board members got to hear some of the consequences at the board meeting Monday, May 13. One of the most immediate consequences will be the loss of federal Title 1 money for summer school. Title 1 money goes to schools with a high concentration of students from lowincome families, many of whom qualify for free and reduced price lunches. The district will still provide breakfast and lunch over the summer, but not have a summer school and there will be no transportation. The district would normally put on a summer school for 60 to 70 students. But this year, because of the across the board federal funding cuts called the sequester, the district won’t receive about $45,000, which means they won’t hold the summer school, special services coordinator Michele Hunt told the directors.

It costs about $25,000 to have the summer school, with about half of that going to transportation, she said. At the high school, there will be credit retrieval courses held in the summer, but they will mostly be conducted online, with a teacher coming in once a week or so, high school principal Dennis Matson told board members. Business manager Tom Crouch said that by cutting summer school, the district would be able to preserve all Title 1 programs during the regular school year. Several audience members urged the board to do something to retain the full time services of middle school counselor Sarah Theal. Her position is partially funded by Educational Service District 101 and that money will be redistributed elsewhere, leaving her with a two-day position paid for by the district. That will not likely be enough for Theal, who has worked for the district for nine years. She is seeking full-time work elsewhere. The ESD 101 money will go to Cusick instead, Theal said, based on a needs assessment. Even if it had remained at Newport, it SEE SCHOOL, 2A

Newport chamber still taking proposals for visitor center Deadline for proposals extended until May 17 BY FRED WILLENBROCK OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – After the Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce board decided to find a contractor to operate

the visitor center they have manned for more than 20 years in Centennial Plaza, two viable plans emerged: One for a non-profit to operate in the current building and the other to operate in a business across the street. The deadline for proposals has now been extended to Friday, May 17, said

chamber president Steve Shumski. They extended the deadline after receiving a list of items that could be sold from the Pend Oreille County Historical Society board of directors. Shumski said that before getting the SEE VISITORS, 2A

West Bonner Schools asking voters to approve $3 million levy BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

PRIEST RIVER – Voters will turnout Tuesday, May 21, to decide the fate of the West Bonner School District’s one-year, $3 million maintenance and operations levy. A simple majority is needed to pass. If passed, the $3 million levy will re-

place the $2.35 million current levy. The larger amount will mean an increase in property taxes, from $1.53 per $1,000 assessed value for the current levy to $1.96 per $1,000 for the proposed levy, which would be for the 2013-14 school year. The $2.35 million levy was a bare bones levy and would not maintain cur-

rent staffing next year, so school board members decided to ask voters for the higher amount, Superintendent Ellen Perconti said. About 27 percent of the district’s staff is paid through the M&O levy, she said. The discretionary money the district SEE LEVY, 2A

|| Evelyn Reed appreciation lunch is May 22 NEWPORT – The Pend Oreille Historical Society will host a luncheon open to the public to show their appreciation of Evelyn Reed’s 25 years of volunteer service Wednesday, May 22, at 11:30 a.m. at the Riverbank Restaurant. She served 18 years as the historical society president until she resigned this month. Reed started her volunteerism in Reed the community when she and her husband Roy, who became mayor of Newport, moved here in the late 1980s from western Washington. She had grown up in this community. Reed operated the chamber of commerce’s visitor center and served as chamber manager. This was among

Rocky Creek Bridge closed IONE – Pend Oreille County’s road department is closing Rocky Creek Bridge, located about two and half miles northwest of Highway 20 south of Ione. The bridge has been deemed unsafe and will be closed indefinitely Thursday, May 16. County engineering technician Tom McCaffrey said the bridge has suffered damage over recent years and is actually moving. The county is beginning an engineer-

Commissioners focused on timber NEWPORT – Pend Oreille County commissioners are

pushing the U.S. Forest Service to harvest more trees as a way to generate revenue for the county and jobs at local mills. District 1 commissioner Karen Skoog will be attending the National Association of Counties regional conference next week, May 22-24, in Flagstaff, Ariz., were natural resources will be the topic. Commissioners said they try to limit their out-ofcounty travel, but felt this was an important issue. Skoog said they’ve been working with the U.S. Forest Service to get a sustainable yield. The conference is near the Coconino National Forest, which suffered a humancaused fire of about four acres earlier this month. Skoog plans to attend sessions on public lands steering, Forest Health: The Economics of Treatment vs. Large-scale Forest Fires, and Recovering After Disaster and Protecting Your Community from Further Disaster.

would have likely went for a high school counselor, she said. Several audience members urged the board to do something to keep her, including people from Crime Victims Services, Youth Emergency Services and the Drug Free Communities Program. District Superintendent Jason Thompson said that the board wanted to keep a full-time counselor at the middle school. But until the district knows how much money it will get from the state, it really has to stick to what is currently budgeted. School board president April Owen said the district was planning on continuing the position,

list they were told by the historical society, from whom they lease the property under the building, that they could not sell items in the visitor center. Shumski said it appears that certain types of sales of goods and merchandise will now be permitted at the visitor center, provided they do not conflict with what’s for sale at the nearby museum’s gift shop. The new historical society president Duane Becker confirmed last week that they had sent a list to the chamber. It limited items to those not sold by the museum and with other quality restrictions. Becker said they were also concerned with impacting their non-profit status should a for-profit operation be located on their property. Becker replaced Evelyn Reed, who served as president for 18 years, after she resigned during a discussion of the chamber’s visitor center plans. According to the announcement sent to members, the chamber will retain ultimate responsibility for and oversight of the visitor center but will subcontract with a successful candidate to physically host and staff it, either at the current visitor center location or at the candidate’s own location. Shumski said they are very encouraged by the proposals they have received to date but in order to ensure all members have equal opportunity to submit a proposal, they extended

but not full time, at least not until they know the status of the state budget. Crouch, the district’s business manager, said that the district really can’t make decisions around one position, anyway, that the overall budget would need to be taken into consideration. The district is also facing declining enrollment. The district has averaged 1,061 students this year, down from the 1,081 that was budgeted.

the due date to this Friday at 5 p.m. Full information is on their website at www.newportareachamber.com. One of the two finalists is the River Arts Alliance. Their proposal is to operate the visitor center in its current location. RAA president Loyce Akers said they would be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Akers said they are a non-profit organization that includes the Evergreen Art Association. They would sell artists’ work at the visitor center. Akers said they do not profit from the art sales. She and some of her RAA members have volunteered in the visitor center for the chamber in the past and are familiar with how it works. They have a pool of about 30 potential volunteers. Shumski said the other finalist is proposing to operate offsite. That applicant is Owen’s Grocery and Deli across the street. The goal is to find the best way to do this for everybody, Shumski said. They may even consider using two proposals to cover all the hours. The chamber board had decided after their third paid director resigned that they couldn’t keep operating the visitor center and reach their goals of assisting businesses. At this time they plan to keep the chamber office in part of the building that houses the visitor center and public restrooms. The chamber receives $200 a month from the county hotel/motel tax board for operating the visitor center. They have offered this amount to the contractor.

credit while still in high school, accounted for some of the drop in enrollment. The district gets to keep 7 percent of the apportionment money for those students for administration, but the bulk of the money goes to the college. With college tuition rising, more students are getting as many college credits as possible. There were 32 Running Start students this year and district officials are planning on a 35 next year. The district is budgeting for even fewer students next year, tentatively planning for 1,031 students.

PRIEST RIVER – Two seats are up for election on the West Bonner School Board when voters go to the polls Tuesday, May 21. They are four-year terms. School board members are elected by voters who live in their zones. The winner will be the candidate for each position who gets the most votes. Incumbent school board chairwoman Peggy Smith is being challenged by two people for her seat. Joe English and Drew McClain are both running for the Zone 2 position, along with Smith.

Portions of Prop 1 now law BOISE – Portions of Idaho’s Proposition 1, which voters handily turned down last November, are now law, after Gov.

gets from the state doesn’t adequately pay for heating, she said – let alone staffing. The district chose to make sure they had counselors, she said. Even with the larger amount, the $3 million levy still means the district will reduce staff by three or four people, she said. The district plans on using some of the levy money for building maintenance, such as updating the bathrooms at the junior high school. “We need to put money into facilities,” Perconti said. “The junior high bathrooms haven’t been remodeled since the 1940s and need new plumbing.”

The district figures the bathroom remodel will cost $85,000, she said. The district will also upgrade its security, adding new locks and will do some roof work, Perconti said. If voters approve the $3 million levy, the district plans to spend the money this way: • $2,190,597: Unfunded district employee salaries and benefits and federal and state mandates, including school counselors and resource officers. • $323,703: All co-curricular and extra curricular expenses, including all co-curricular salaries, helmet replacement and certification, concussion testing, supplies, referees and transporta-

tion. • $250,000: Maintenance and facility repairs, including asphalt, roofing, door locks and junior high bathrooms. • $185,700: Curriculum including library, common core state standards aligned materials, gifted an talented programs and AcaDeca. • $50,000: Technology services, providing for innovation and replacement schedules. The school district receives 75 percent of its total education costs from state and federal sources. Local funding through levies bridge the gap between what the state pays and the actual costs of operating the six schools in the district.

BR I E FLY Learn to manage family forests NEWPORT – There are many questions that come up when thinking about your forest land: What is healthy and what is not? How much timber are you entitled to and how much can be taken without harming the forest? Answers to these questions and more are available through a forest stewardship shortcourse planned for May 29 through July 24, on Wednesdays from 6-9 p.m. at the Deer Park library. The weekly classes are for owners of small-scale family forests (typically five to 500 acres). The planning short course involves developing a simple management plan. Among the topics are: forest ecology and soils, applied silviculture, reforestation, responsible harvesting, riparian area management, fish and wildlife habitat, special forest products and forest recreation. Learn about legibility for cost-share assistance to implement practices, be considered for reduced property taxes, and become a certified forest.

County joins hospital’s purchasing organization NEWPORT – Pend Oreille County will be able to get a better price on a variety if items, including office supplies, after joining Newport Hospital and Health Services group purchasing organization. County auditor Marianne Nichols says it looks like it will be a significant savings. “I ran the numbers on three different departments and it looks like, for office supplies alone, it will save between 20 and 29 percent,” she said. She anticipates that translating into thousands of dollars in savings for the county. Nichols, county commissioner Mike Manus and hospital CEO Tom Wilbur, and Cathy Engel, the hospital’s purchasing contracts specialist, met recently to discuss the arrangement. NHHS is an owner member of Premier Inc., a group purchasing organization and through Premier Continuum of Care program, NHHS is able to extend their contracts to other qualifying agencies.

The turbine runner for Seattle City Light’s Boundary Dam makes its way to Pend Oreille County.

Second turbine runner headed for Boundary Dam

SEATTLE – A second hydroelectric turbine runner is on its way to Seattle City Light’s Boundary Dam in north Pend Oreille County as part of a generator overhaul project that aims to increase Boundary’s generating capacity by 30 megawatts and reduce the dam’s impact on fish in the Pend Oreille River. The unit started its journey May 1 and will take a few weeks to get to its destination. It’s expected to reach Pend Oreille County around Thursday, May 16 or Friday, May 17, around 1 a.m. tentatively. It will have four pilots and be escorted by two Washington State Patrol cars. It has a roundabout route to meet its destination, as set by the state. The turbine runner will travel from Idaho’s Highway 41 and make a turn onto Highway 2 near Safeway, then travel the wrong way on Union Avenue and head out of Newport on Highway 2. In south Pend Oreille County, it will meet Highway 211 and travel that road to Highway 20. “This is a significant milestone for the work at Boundary and we look forward to receiving the new runner,” Power Production Director Mike Haynes said. A turbine runner is the rotating part of a turbine that converts hydraulic energy in the form of moving water into mechanical energy, which is then turned into electricity by a generator. The turbine runner for Boundary is about 10 feet tall and 19 feet in diameter. It is being installed as part of a generator overhaul that will increase generating capacity at the dam to about 230 megawatts. The new turbine runners also are

designed to help reduce total dissolved gases in the water that comes through the dam, which is harmful to fish. The dam’s four other turbines were replaced in a six-year project that was completed in 2004. City Light is investing about $60 million in the overhauls of Boundary’s two largest generators. A special 20-axle semi tractortrailer with escort cars is delivering the 181,000-pound turbine runner from Weir American Hydro’s plant in York, Pa. Along its 2,073-mile journey, the super load will travel through Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho before arriving in Washington. Last summer, the first runner made the same trip. Weir American Hydro began the process of creating the Boundary

NEWPORT – Richard Dion Smith, 27, was sentenced to four months in jail April 25 by Pend Oreille County Superior Court Judge Allen Nielson, after pleading guilty to possession of stolen property, malicious mischief and possession of a meth. In addition to standard fees and fines totaling $1,450, Smith was ordered to pay $2,000 restitution and serve 24 months community custody. Smith was arrested last August after sheriff deputies found his fingerprints on a wooden box that was stolen in a Deer Valley burglary. The box originally contained 40 firearms that were stolen in the May burglary, and Smith originally faced charges of

possession of stolen firearms. Deputies served a search warrant on Smith’s home located off Highway 2, south of Newport. There they found some property stolen in the Deer Valley burglary, along with a pipe with meth residue, according to the statement of probable cause. In the end, prosecutors agreed to amend the charges and Smith was sentenced for second degree possession of stolen property and possession of a controlled substance, both felonies, and second degree malicious mischief, a gross misdemeanor. He had a criminal history that included previous possession of stolen property and assault charges and faced a standard range of sentencing of zero to five months.

Local elections are foundation of democracy

eople from Syria to South America are battling and dying daily for the simple right to vote for the person they believe in to serve as their representative as mayor, city council member, county commissioner, state representative or national leader. The election process here seems at the low end of most people’s priority list; many won’t even vote and most won’t bother to find out about those running. It’s sad that the two situations are going on at the same time; fighting to the death for the right to vote and across the world people not bothering to vote. In Pend Oreille County, some people are demonstrating with real action that they understand the importance of local elections. These are the outstanding citizens that are filing for positions from city council and mayor to county commissioner. Other taxing district governing boards have seats open and people who believe in the democratic process of taxation with representation are stepping up and filing. This entire democratic system won’t work without their willingness to sacrifice their time. The filing picture isn’t perfect either. Many seats will get only one candidate and few get none. The partisan county commissioner seat open this fall so far has only Republicans running. Where are the Democrats in the county that have been so vocal about union support and other issues during the past few months? Without candidates and debate during an election race the important vetting process necessary in a healthy democracy is lost.

Wolf recovery a ‘success’ in Northern Rockies WASHINGTON D.C. – The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is calling the recovery of the gray wolf a success in the Northern Rockies, after the release of the annual report conducted by federal, state and tribal agencies last week. “The recovery of the gray wolf in the Northern Rockies continues to be one of the great success stories of the Endangered Species Act, and we are intensely monitoring wolf populations to ensure they remain healthy and robust under state management,” Fish and Wildlife Director Dan Ashe said. “We believe that professional wildlife management and the strong wildlife corridors we’ve established will ensure that the gray wolf remains a part of the landscape in the West for future generations of Americans.” As of Dec. 31, 2012, there were at least 321 confirmed packs and 1,674 wolves within the Northern Rockies area. The 2011 report showed at least 287 confirmed packs and 1,796 wolves within the area. Post-delisting monitoring requires each delisted state to submit an annual report to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In comparison to the 2011 study of the region, the report shows a nearly 12 percent increase in the number of wolf packs. The report also shows a nearly 7 percent decrease in the overall population, which is in line with the service’s expectation for the year. The number of breeding pairs also decreased by 5 percent, from 109 pairs in 2011 to 103 pairs in 2012. Overall, the wolf population remains well above the recovery levels identified by Service and partner biologists in the recovery plan. Ashe noted that the service fully anticipated state management would result in reduced populations, given the management goals established in each state’s wolf plan. Despite increased levels of take resulting from sport hunting and control efforts, the population has continued to thrive. The original recovery plan had goals of an equitably distributed wolf population containing at least

300 wolves and 30 breeding pairs in three recovery areas within Montana, Idaho and Wyoming for at least three consecutive years. These totals were reached in 2002. In 2012 the entire NRM Distinct Population Segment was delisted and wolves are managed under state authority in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, eastern one-third of Washington and Oregon, and a small part of north central Utah. Wolf packs, especially breeding pairs, remain within the three core recovery areas in northwestern Montana/Idaho Panhandle, central Idaho, and the Greater Yellowstone Area, and again were confirmed in eastern Washington and Oregon. No packs were documented in Utah. “Hundreds of people have assisted with wolf recovery efforts over the years and we are indebted to them all,” said Noreen Walsh, regional director for the service’s Mountain-Prairie Region. “This report supports the effective and appropriate management approach taken by the states, demonstrating that the implementation of their management plans continues to maintain a healthy wolf population at or above established recovery goals.” Although confirmed depredations are a comparatively small proportion of all livestock losses in the NRM Distinct Population Segment, wolf damage can be significant in some livestock producing areas where wolves are present. In 2012, 231 “problem” wolves were lethally removed by agency control, which includes legal take in defense of property by private citizens. During the year, Montana removed 108 wolves by agency control and harvested 175 wolves in their hunting season; Idaho removed 73 wolves by agency control and harvested 329 wolves by public hunting; and in Wyoming, 43 wolves were removed by agency control and 66 harvested through regulated hunting. Washington removed seven wolves. In Oregon, no wolves were removed by agency

The Spokane Tribe of Indians has been trying to get approval for a new casino in Airway Heights, near Northern Quest, the casino operated by the Kalispel Tribe. The Spokanes have released a study showing that a hotel casino would not impact Fairchild Air Force Base. Congresswoman Cathy McMorrisRogers released a statement opposing the casino because it would impact the base. Should the Spokane Tribe be allowed to build a casino in Airway Heights? No, the Kalispel Tribe had a very specific circumstance that allowed Northern Quest to be built. The Spokane’s already have two casinos. Yes, another casino would provide some much needed competition for Northern Quest and would create jobs.

Fiber project poorly managed To the editor: I read with no surprise that the fiber project will overrun their budget. I feel that the project has been poorly managed. When my home was connected someone came out four times to locate the underground lines. The heavy equipment for burying the fiber came out and buried the fiber conduit to my neighbor. The equipment left, only to return four weeks later to bury the conduit to my home. I questioned why they didn’t run the conduit to my home at the same time, and was told they just went where they were told. Moving heavy equipment to/from a work site is not free. I have seen many partial rolls of the fiber hung from brackets on the power poles. I questioned a worker as to why. I was told the rolls were all 200-feet long and they did not cut the fiber to fit the space needed. If a drop was 210-feet long, it would take two 200-foot rolls to do the individual drop with 190 feet just left on the pole. I’m sure that the extra 190 feet of fiber was not free. I’m sure when the overall project has been completed there will be much back slapping and accolades given to the project managers and a large completion party that will be paid for by the Pend Oreille Public Utility ratepayers as a reward for a successful project. -Jeff Koop Newport

Plans won’t help state of the river To the editor: Last week The SpokesmanReview ran a front page article about the Pend Oreille County shorelines and the proposed Shorelines Master Program.

A photo showing a worried looking local environmental activist indicated that the river is suffering from years of abuse and shoreline owners have an obligation to help reverse the damage. My view of the river is not positive. It is dammed up and full of milfoil. Slow running water isn’t good and the natural state of the river was changed forever when the dams were built 50 years ago. Now we have a slow moving choked up waterway. Public access is generally undeveloped, so it difficult to see any benefit for the common person other than the hydroelectric power produced by the dams. I feel sorry for people that live on the water. The view is great, but it’s just a matter of time before nature reminds them that they don’t control or manage it. There is high water, low water, erosion from wakes and a hundred other problems associated with waterfront living. It’s rather foolhardy to think that man can control rivers with regulations. Pend Oreille County accepted a $450,000 grant for the state to develop a plan for the shorelines. Please tell me how overpaying a bunch of planning consultants does anything to control shorelines. Maybe we can print a bunch of these plans and use them as sandbags during the next flood. Nearly every waterway management project in our country has failed. Huge projects costing billions of dollars haven’t stopped nature. Many have resulted in environmental damage and disaster. So what does increasing building setbacks and more permits do for the river? It simply makes waterfront property more expensive and exclusive. The contractors, agents and tax assessors smile with joy as they all get more money. -Pete Scobby Newport

RE ADERS’ POLL RESULTS

What should be done with the Guantanamo prison and the prisoners held there?

They should close the prison as soon as possible. It is a disgrace to the U.S. and will be judged by history as unjust, the same way interning Japanese Americans during World War II was. Unless convicted the men should be released. They should free those cleared for release immediately and send them to whatever country that will have them. The rest should be tried, with whatever punishment, including execution, administered as ordered. The ones who can’t be tried for national security reasons should be held in U.S. federal prisons.

They should continue to hold them there for as long as the federal authorities believes they present any kind of danger to the U.S. Guantanamo is as good a place as any.

Priest River police tickets four aggressive drivers

NEWPORT – The departure of the city’s long-time towing business to Idaho which opened a spot on the law enforcement calling list in this area prompted John Jackson to open Newport Towing March 1. They provide the basic towing services like helping people locked out of their vehicles, rescuing those who run out of gas, giving jump starts and offering AAA tow service through insurance companies, But Newport Towing is also the primary contractor for law enforcement, including the state patrol and the Pend Oreille County Sheriff in the center of the county. When someone is pulled over for drunken driving or driving with a suspended license, Newport Towing is called by law enforcement to impound the vehicle. The contractor also helps out if there’s been an accident or for some other reason law enforcement needs a vehicle towed. The company is a registered tow truck operator with the Washington State Patrol, which involves annual inspections by the state and making sure the tow truck meets standards. The sheriff’s office contracts with tow businesses in different areas of the county. One handles north Pend Oreille County north of the Outpost, another located on Allen Road covers the south county, with Newport Towing covering the rest. Sheriff Alan Botzheim said having approved tow truck operaters

PRIEST RIVER – The Priest River Police Department completed an aggressive driving emphasis from April 5-14, with four speeders getting tickets as a result, according to a press release from the PRPD. During the emphasis, the Priest River Police Department dedicated 49 hours toward aggressive driving enforcement and made 24 traffic stops, resulting in four speeding citations and one expired license citation being issued. PRPD, in conjunction with the Idaho Transportation Department and other local law enforcement agencies, will be conducting seat belt emphasis patrols beginning May 20 through June 2. These emphasis patrols are aimed at decreasing vehicle related deaths and serious injuries by increasing the use of seat belts in Idaho. On average, 79 percent of Idaho drivers wear their seatbelts as opposed to the national average of 86 percent. The use of lap-shoulder belts reduce the risk of fatal injury to front seat occupants by 45 percent and the risk of moderate to critical injuries by 50 percent in passenger cars. While the observed rate was 79 percent in Idaho, only 39 percent of the motor vehicle occupants killed in crashes were wearing seat belts.

Newport Towing serves as law enforcement contractor BY JANELLE ATYEO

Diana and John Jackson recently opened Newport Towing with an office and impound lot in Newport by the railroad tracks.

in different districts is working better than the rotation list they used in the past. In some cases, that would require an Ione-based towing company to pick up a vehicle around Newport. Meanwhile, the deputy would have to wait at the scene. Groom Enterprises was formerly located on Newport’s Washington Avenue. When the business moved to Oldtown last fall, it no longer had an impound lot in Washington and therefore wasn’t eligible to be licensed through the state. They do still provide owner-requested tows and other services in the area. Newport Towing’s impound lot and office is located in Newport’s industrial zone by the railroad

tracks, 137 S. Newport Ave. Jackson, 42, runs the office with his wife, Diana. They have two kids, a daughter, 19, and a son, 18, who will soon be helping his dad with the business. They live just south of Newport. For 10 years, Jackson owned Inland Towing in Spokane. He sold it to be closer to home in Newport, he said. He’s also done some construction work. Jackson currently runs one truck, a 2001 Ford F550 fourwheel drive. He’s told that he will be busy keeping up with all the contract tows. He plans to add a rollback flatbed truck. “I’ll buy as many has I have to, to keep up,” he said. Services are available 24/7. Call 509-447-1200.

Property rights meeting set for May 22 CUSICK – The Pend Oreille County chapter of the Citizens Alliance for Property Rights will hold a meeting Wednesday, May 22 at the American Legion Hall in Cusick, starting at 6:30 p.m. The county’s proposed Shoreline Master Program will be the topic of the meeting. Speakers will address aspects of the SMP, including its effects on property owners. CAPR is especially concerned about buffers. The buffers will increase from 25-foot setbacks to at least 50-foot setbacks. They are expected to be left in a natural veg-

etative state, according to a press release from CAPR. The news release points out that only low voltage solar or battery powered lighting will be permitted on new or existing docks and that no permanent lighting, including hard wired fixtures will be allowed on new or existing docks. The state Department of Ecology will be accepting comment on the SMP until 5 p.m. May 29. Read the county approved SMP and other information at www.ecy. wa.gov/news/2013/104. You can also get more information at www. ourpropertyrights.org.

Cusick school audit has one finding OLYMPIA – During a regular audit of the Cusick School District, auditors made one finding, which has since been corrected, according to the audit report released May 6. The federal single audit examined books from the 2011-2012 school year. One major federal program the district used was the Title 1 stimulus grant. Auditors were concerned the

district didn’t have adequate internal controls to ensure compliance for tracking time spent on grant-related work. Hours were not tracked for four employees charging time to the grant, totaling about $29,000 in salaries and benefits. Auditors said the problem is fully corrected since the district has established a process to monitor reporting.

control. No wolves were harvested in Washington or Oregon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hunters have played a key role for decades in helping to manage and sustain dozens of game populations in North America, and they can do the same for wolves,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Jimenez, the serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Recovery Coordinator for the NRM population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hunting remains an accepted and successful wildlife management tool that helps to reduce conflicts with humans, maintain stable populations and generate public support. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re encouraged by the results of the trophy game hunts in each state.â&#x20AC;? Total confirmed depredations by wolves in 2012 included 194 cattle, 470 sheep, six dogs, three horses, and one llama. From 2007 through 2011, an average of 191 cattle depredations occurred each year. An average of 339 sheep depredations occurred each year during this period. Ninety-nine of 352 (approximately 28 percent) known NRM Distinct Population Segment wolf packs that existed at some

point in 2012 were involved in at least one confirmed cattle or sheep depredation. The service will continue to monitor the delisted wolf populations in the NRM states for a minimum of five years to ensure that they continue to sustain their recovery. Although not expected to be necessary, as with all recovered and delisted species, the service may consider relisting, and even emergency relisting, if the available data ever demonstrates such an action is necessary. The report is posted online at

http://westerngraywolf.fws.gov. The report is a cooperative effort by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, Wyoming Fish and Game, the Nez Perce Tribe, National Park Service, Blackfeet Nation, Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, Wind River Tribes, Colville Tribe, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Utah Department of Natural Resources, and USDA Wildlife Services.

Boat inspections begin OLDTOWN – Boat inspection stations in Idaho will open in time for the holiday weekend. Their purpose is to check boats for invasive species such as milfoil and zebra mussels before they’re launches in local waters. The state of Idaho operates 15 inspection stations, including one at Oldtown that opens Thursday, May 23 just east of the Oldtown Bridge on Highway 2. It will typically be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week through summer. About half of Idaho’s station were open already in April. The Diamond Lake Improvement Association is running a program. Volunteers at the state launch at Diamond Lake will ask boaters launching at the site to undergo a voluntary inspection of their vessel. Out of state boaters going to Idaho

will need to purchase a sticker for the Idaho Invasive Species Fund. The cost is $22 for out-of-state motorized vessels and $7 for nonmotorized, available at selected retailers and through Idaho State Parks. Those licensing their boat in Idaho pay $10 toward the fund with the annual boat registrations.

Candidates filing for office this week BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – About two dozen Pend Oreille County candidates have filed for office as of Tuesday afternoon. Republican Mark Zorica filed for the District 2 county commissioner seat. Mike Manus, a Republican who was appointed to the seat last fall, said he plans to run as well but has not filed. Two have filed for the District 7 Senate seat: Republican John Smith of Colville, who was appointed when Bob Morton retired in January, and Republican Mike Brunson of Springdale. Filling lasts through Friday, May 17, at 4:30 p.m. Candidates may also file at the county courthouse, by mail or on the county’s website. Positions that have a salary require a filing fee. The primary election is Aug. 6, but voters will have their ballots in hand after July 17. There will be no ballot measures for the primary. A number of local districts have seats up this year. So far, no races have emerged. Following is a list of districts where candidates have filed as of Tuesday. Town of Cusick: Councilmember 4 Gladys Schwartz, incumbent. Town of Ione: Councilmember 1 John Redinger, incumbent; Councilmember 2 Ken Timmreck, incumbent; Councilmember 4 Dylan Powers, incumbent; Mayor Jessica Davis, incumbent. Town of Metaline Falls: Councilmember 1 Susan Huntley, incumbent; Councilmember 3 Van Whysong, incumbent; Councilmember 4 Roger Aydelott, incumbent; Mayor Tara Leininger, incumbent.

Sacheen Sewer and Water: Commissioner 3 Peggy Johnsen, incumbent Hospital District 1: Commissioner 4

Ray King, incumbent; Commissioner 5 Mike Quick (seat currently held by Tom Garrett). Nonpartisan races will have a primary only when three or more candidates file for an office. The county commissioner race will be on the primary ballot, even if just two candidates file. Those same two candidates would move on to the general election. If no one files for an office, there will be a special three-day filing period, and any filings during that time will go directly to the general election. If there are still no filings after three days, the office will be removed from the ballot and the incumbent will retain his or her seat. If you have any questions concerning the election process, contact the elections office at 509-447-6472 or email lkrizenesky@pendoreille.

Cities plan clean up days OLDTOWN – The city of Oldtown will have its annual clean up day Saturday, May 18. Starting at about 7 a.m., volunteers from the city will haul yard waste, tree limbs and other items to the dump. Residents are asked to bag leaves ahead of time. Those with large items may notify the town clerk before Saturday at 208-437-3833. Personal garbage will not be hauled

away. The Priest River city council discussed reinstating its spring clean up day during their meeting May 6. They talked about collecting tires, but possibly setting a limit on the number they’ll take each year to keep disposal fees manageable. “I think the concept is a good idea,” Priest River mayor Jim Martin said.

Newport track athletes meet the bar for regionals BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Eleven Newport runners throwers and jumpers and three relay teams will be moving on to the regional track and field meet this weekend. There, they’ll try to place in the top four to qualify for state. Those Grizzlies made the qualifying mark amongst Northeast A League teams at the district meet hosted by Newport Saturday, May 11. The top four in all laned events, such as sprints, move on to regionals. Other events advanced the top six. “I was proud of our team,” coach Rory Axel said. “Even though they are young, they competed well and many made it to the next level.” Junior Braden Barranco won the pole vault with the bar two feet higher than his closest competitor. Barranco vaulted at 14 feet. In other field events, sophomore Rockey McDaniel was fifth

in triple jump and sixth in the long jump. Junior Eric Cunningham placed sixth in the discus. In the running events, senior Zack Chantry was fourth in the 200-meter dash, and senior Scott McMeen took fourth in the 1,600. O N D EC K : Newport’s AT REGIONALS 400-meter SATURDAY, May relay has been 18, 1 p.m. doing well this season, but the team was disqualified Saturday. They were running well, easily in the top three, but as Coltin Worley came up next to the Riverside runner and they were carrying batons in opposite hands, they hit arms and Worley dropped his baton. Axel said he asked for a rerun, but was told all they could do was disqualify the Riverside team. Since it wasn’t intentional, he said he didn’t want the Riverside team to join them in not getting to regionals. The 1,600-meter relay placed third to qualify. The team of Mc-

Daniel, McMeen, Chantry and Worley will run at regionals. For the girls, senior Arielle Walden set a new meet record in the triple jump, furthering her jump from last year to 36 feet, 9.5 inches for first place. She also won the long jump at 16-11 and the 100-meter high hurdles in 15.81 seconds. Junior Erin Rednour placed fifth in the pole vault to move on. The girls qualified two relays. The four-by-100 tam of Haley Braun, Marissa Hofstee, Carol Sperling and Emma Waterman took fourth. The same girls ran the fourby-200 for fourth place. Freeman was the top boys team with 131 points. Newport was seventh with 40. The Lady Grizzlies were sixth, having scored 51. Lakeside won with 201.5 points. Regionals with the Caribou Trail League are Saturday, May 18 at Riverside High School, starting at 1 p.m.

Softball comes down to final inning for Spartans BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

SPIRIT LAKE – The Priest River Spartans came up with more hits, but in the end not more runs, as they lost 7-6 to Kellogg in the last inning Tuesday, May 7 at Timberlake. “We started out good,” Spartan coach Ron Kruse said. Priest River took a 6-1 lead by the top of the fifth inning, but eight walks and errors hurt the team in the closing innings, he said. “They just kept clawing their way back in,” he said of Kellogg’s efforts. “We made a few mistakes that they capitalized on.” Priest River actually out hit Kellogg 11-9 but couldn’t get everyone in. The game was played on the hottest day of the year, and Spartan pitcher Brittany Krampert threw a lot of pitches by her second game of

the day, Kruse said. “It seemed like she got a little tired with the eight walks but she kept their big hitters off base,” he said. Kellogg came through with three runs in the bottom of the fifth to pull within one, tied it up in the sixth inning and scored again in the seventh for the win. Alyssa Deal got three hits for the Spartans and Kaylee Fink chalked up three RBIs. He said Kellogg deserved the win. “They were scrappy coming back to beat Timberlake twice to win the League, then coming back to beat us for the second seed,” Kruse said. Earlier in the day, Priest River handily beat Bonners Ferry 9-3, leading all the way. Krampert pitched for the Spartans, striking out nine. Ayonna Lentz led batters, with three hits and four RBIs. Aimee Warren also got three hits.

The Spartans finished the year with an 11-13 record. “I think we all had higher expectations for the season but the reality is that we were still a young team with only three returning starters,” Kruse said. “We had some really big wins where the natural talent of the girls really showed.” Five of the girls that started most of the games were JV players last year, he said. Priest River played all but a half dozen games on the road, which will serve the Spartans well next year, he said. “I think the experience we gained this year playing under tough conditions and on the road will pay dividends next year,” he said. “Losing seniors Ayonna Lentz, Allysa Deal and Erika Nelson will be hard on us but we have some talented eighth graders moving up so I think we will be competitive again next year.”

SELKIRK | FROM PAGE 1B

Selkirk took the win with a score of 7-4. Anderson pitched for Selkirk, allowing just four hits while striking out eight and walking just one. Christman and Couch were both three for four in the game at the plate. Abiona Carrasco, Reiber, Josie Miller and Ellie Grass all had a single for the Rangers. With the win, Selkirk advanced into the championship game against another group of Warriors, this time the team from Almira/CouleeHartline. The championship game proved to be a game of great pitching and defense, coaches said. Anderson

IONE – The Selkirk Rangers baseball season came to an end Saturday, when Almira-Coulee/ Hartline knocked them out of the playoff picture with a 4-3 win, the second game the Rangers lost by one point. Selkirk had battled during the week to get to the game. They beat Northport 5-2 Tuesday, May 7 at Odessa, before losing a close one to undefeated Odessa-Harrington 10-9 later that day. In the Northport game, Selkirk trailed 2-1 going into the fifth inning when they scored two runs to take the lead. They went up for good in the sixth inning when Avery Miller hit a single to drive in Logan Miller. Miller went two for three at bat, including a double in the third inning. Dominic Cain struck out nine hitters in the winning effort. Cain allowed two earned runs, two hits and two walks over seven innings. “I was very pleased with our bottom half of the lineup,” Selkirk

coach Pete Whittekiend said. Brady Filler, Stephen Avey, and Logan Miller all played vital roles in the game, he said, noting that Avey made a diving catch in center field which very well could have been a lead off triple. Saturday, May 11, Selkirk started the day with a game against undefeated Odessa-Harrington. “There was not a lot of pitching from either side in this game,” Whittekiend said. Miller and Emery Maupin each had three hits. “The boys continued to battle all day against a very solid Odessa team,” he said, but in the end Odessa-Harrington stayed undefeated. In the Almira/Coulee-Hartline game Miller both hit and pitched well, but it wasn’t enough as the Selkirk Rangers varsity fell to ACH 4-3 at University High School Saturday, May 11. “The defense did not play well,” which was the difference in the game.” Whittekiend said. “We committed six errors to ACH’s one.” Miller was a workhorse on the

mound for Selkirk. He didn’t give up any earned runs and struck out five in over seven innings of work. Noah Bailey stepped in for an injured starter and played very admirably at third base. After pushing across one run in the bottom of the seventh, the Rangers faced just a 4-3 deficit. “The bases were loaded with no outs and we couldn’t get the run we needed,” Whittekiend said. He wasn’t too disappointed with the season, however. “Overall the season went well,” he said. “We were not consistent enough early in the year with our bats, which ended up hurting us in a couple of close games.” Whittekiend said the Rangers need to improve on defense, but that he was pleased with pitching and how it kept the team in a lot of close games. “We have some good young kids coming up that will fill the homes left by our three seniors: Mikey Weiss, Emery Maupin, and Ray Davis,” he said. The Rangers ended the year with a 12-11 overall record and was 9-8 against league opponents.

FOR THE RECORD

O B I T UA R I E S

Edward Ernest Hornby Blanchard

Edward Ernest Hornby passed away Friday, May 10, having been diagnosed with leukemia just one week prior. He was Hornby 67. It is presumed the cause was related to Agent Orange exposure when he served in the military. Family members said Mr. Hornby was a kind and gentle man who always had time for laughter, a smile and positive words for everyone he met. He was naturally quick to forgive, never complained and was optimistic when faced with adversity. He was born, Nov. 9, 1945, in Evansville, Ind., and grew up on a farm in Morgantown, Ky. He moved to Tucson, Ariz., as a teenager where he graduated from Catalina High School in 1963. He attended three years of college in business administration at the University of Arizona and was a member of ROTC. Mr. Hornby served in the U.S. Army for three years, one of which was in Vietnam. He was employed by Chevron USA, Tucson Asphalt Division, for 25 years. He married Barbara Adams Hornby in 1974 and together they raised their three children in Tucson: Robert, Rachelle and Daniel. They would have been married for 39 years on May 30. When their two older children left the nest Ed, Barbara and Daniel moved to Blanchard, Barbara’s childhood home. Two of their grandchildren, Jordan and Cody, followed in their “Papah’s boot steps,” enlisting in the U.S. Army during the past two years. Mr. Hornby was particularly proud of their accomplishments that helped him open up about his own stories pertaining to the honor of serving our country and the sacrifices that are made. Mr. Hornby particularly loved children and animals, providing homemade ice cream, popcorn and encouragement for neighborhood kids, feeding and playing with pets and making sure the rabbit next door was well fed and got back in his cage if he escaped. He particularly loved the animals that his daughter owned, and her dogs brought forth the true meaning of “hound” if he didn’t give them his usual attention. Mr. Hornby was also “heartfully” involved with the Blanchard community. He was a “happy wonderer,” taking short excursions to various places around town just to strike up a pleasant conversation. He gained the reputation of the unofficial greeter at the Blanchard post office and EZ Stop. He served on the Blanchard Cooperative Water Association Board for a short time and was a big help to Blanchard Area Seniors Inc. (BASIC), an organization of personal importance to the Hornby family as it was co-founded by his mother-in-law, Rae Adams. He took care of little things at the Blanchard Senior/ Community Center that mounted up to a lot: Making coffee, hauling garbage, recycling cans, folding newsletters, picking up rummage (and dolls), participating in highway clean-up (in memory of Rae Adams and Alvin Strange), setting up and cleaning up for events and so much more. Sharing laughter and kindness were his most notable contributions, family said. Mr. Hornby is survived by his wife, Barbara, and son Daniel of Blanchard; daughter Rachelle Hornby of Tucson, son Robert (and Tracy) Hornby of New Jersey, grandchildren: Jordan, Cody, Caroline, Kate and Jack. Surviving siblings include: brother Richard (and Anne) Hornby of Long Beach, Calif., sister Dorothy Hornby of Colorado Springs, and sister Rita Hornby of Tucson. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews and a wealth of wonderful friends. He was preceded in death by his father, David Hornby, and

mother, Margie Hornby. A celebration of his life and potluck will be held at the Blanchard Senior/Community Center Sunday, May 19 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made in memory of Ed to Blanchard Area Seniors Inc. (BASIC), P.O. Box 127, Blanchard, ID 83804. 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.

|| Editor’s note: The police reports, taken from dispatch logs provided to The Miner by law enforcement agencies, are not intended to be an exact report but rather a comprehensive list of police calls in Pend Oreille and West Bonner counties. Dispatch also fields calls for the Kalispel Tribe property in Airway Heights. Certain police calls are generally omitted because of space constraints. These include but aren’t limited to ambulance calls for illness, unfounded alarms, traffic stops, dogs at large, abandoned vehicles, 911 hang–ups and civil standbys. All dispositions for the police reports are assumed to be active, assist or transfer at press time. The police reports are updated each weekday on The Miner Online.
