ATV riders get more loops and trails Forest Service signs South End project BY DESIREÉ HOOD OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – The Colville National Forest may see an

abundance of new All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV) in the future, as CNF Supervisor Laura Jo West signed the South End ATV project, Saturday, May 31, that would open up more than 200 miles of loops and connecting roads for ATV riders, County Commissioner Mike

Manus said. The Forest Service, Manus, Stevens County Commissioners and environmental groups have met five times in the past few months to discuss the impacts this plan will have on the Colville National Forest. In the end, nine out of 10

objections were resolved, Manus said. Manus said the objection process would be ongoing. “We are going to continue our collaborative group,” Manus said. “It was a great process.” David Heflick with Conservation

Northwest said one of the outstanding objections is they wanted to see a pilot program implemented to “test it” instead of the program going out as a whole. “The pilot route we had proposed SEE ATV, 2A

Comprehensive plan needed for north county development Working group formed, will meet June 12 BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – A proposed north county development that would allow commercial activity on lands designated as natural resource lands cannot be taken out of that designation without a change to the county’s comprehensive plan. That’s the decision of county prosecutor Tom Metzger, who also serves as the county’s civil attorney, following an executive session held Tuesday, May 27. The session was closed because of possible litigation over the rezone. Now the process will go

back to the planning commission, which considers changes to the comprehensive plan once a year. They will look at this in the next year. Nathan Smith of the law firm Witherspoon and Kelley was in the executive session. Smith is a land use specialist hired by Metzger. Metzger said after the executive session that critics of the development had brought forth concerns and the county sought Smith’s technical advice. The proposed rezone of more than 430 acres in the north part of Pend Oreille County could eventually lead to an equestrian themed development, with as many as 80 residential lots clustered in a portion of the property, along with commercial ac-

Parks policy problems continue BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Newport public works supervisor Dave North asked a group of people waving pro union signs to not walk on the grass and not put their wire legged signs in the ground at TJ Kelly Park Tuesday, May 27. That set off a mini firestorm over interpretation of the Newport City Parks policy. “It’s freedom of speech, is it not?” said Sue Johnson, a nurse who is also a Service Employees International Union member. She said the rally, attended by nine people, was to highlight Labor History month. Johnson then called city clerk Nickole Schutte and had a heated discussion, she said. “I asked if she was going to have us arrested,” Johnson said. Schutte said SEE PARK, 9A

This group of union supporters gathered at TJ Kelly Park Tuesday, May 27 to call attention to the importance of unions during Labor History month. The group was asked by a city official not to walk on the grass and not to put their signs in the ground. The sign waving was clearly a protected activity, city attorney Tom Metzger said. Asking the group to leave was a misunderstanding, he said.

NEWPORT – The Pend Oreille Public Utility District Board of Commissioners is discussing a 2.55 percent rate increase to take effect in July, because inflation and operating costs are going up. The Board of Commissioners will decide on the increase, Tuesday, June 17 at their regular board meeting. The proposed increase is showing at 3 percent, however, the PUD is estimating the costs of power from Boundary Dam,

operated by Seattle City Light, to decrease by 0.45 percent. The PUD powers almost all of the residences and businesses in the county from Boundary Dam as part of a contractual agreement. “A measure of general inflation is up 2 percent from April of this year to April of last year,” PUD Treasurer Sarah Holderman said. “One percent inflation will increase District costs by $186,000 annually. The proposed 3 percent district rate increase will generate approximately $400,000 in one year.” The rate increase SEE PUD, 2A

B R I E F LY Sacheen Lake sewer bids could be awarded soon SACHEEN LAKE – The bids for the three schedules of the Sacheen Lake sewer project were opened May 20, 21 and 22. Kevin Koesel of Sewell Engineering, who is working on the project, said the bids came in at about $9.6 million, which was within the budget. The bids came in more in line with the projections this time. All bids were rejected last year when they came in $2.5 million over budget. The total cost of the project is expected to be about $12.2 million, which includes some equipment the district will buy.

CLASSIFIEDS

Koesel said Sacheen Lake Sewer and Water District commissioners could award the bids at their regular meeting Wednesday, June 4, at 7 p.m. at the Sacheen Lake Fire Station. Koesel said that if things work as planned, construction could start in July, with the project to be completed in 2015.

Sheriff’s office warns of fraudulent phone calls SANDPOINT – The Bonner County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents of a fraud being perpetrated by indi7B-9B

viduals saying they are employees of the county. According to the sheriff’s office, one or more individuals are attempting to defraud citizens in the area by telephoning area residents and representing themselves as employees of Bonner County Sheriff’s Office. They ask for a named individual in the household. When that person comes to the phone they are told that they have missed their scheduled jury duty assignment and they can avoid jail time only by paying a sum of money.

NEWPORT – The Pend Oreille River has a No Wake Speed Limit as of Thursday, May 29, to protect the shoreline and property from the near flood stage river. The river is rising because of high rainfall and the fast melting snow packs and may continue to rise for the first part of June. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is operating Albeni Falls Dam with all gates open in a free flow operation, as are the operations at Box Canyon Dam, operated by the Pend Oreille Public Utility District. PUD Power Production Manager Mark Cleveland said when the spring runoff of Lake Pend Oreille exceeds the winter drawdown, then downstream mitigation happens and the dams, Albeni Falls and Box Canyon, often have run of the river flows. “The Pend Oreille River is running just as it would before the dam,” Cleveland said. “It’s just a bump in the river where the dam is.” Power production at Box Canyon was shut down on Monday, May 26. All of the gates at Box Canyon Dam are open, and the river is in free flow. As of Friday, May 30, river flow rates were between 90,000 and 92,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). The current flow rates, Tuesday, June 3 are 93,650 cfs at Box Canyon Dam. The peak flow rate for flood year 2011 was 126,000 cfs and during the flood year of 1997, the maximum flow rate was 140,000 cfs. The no wake zone is necessary to prevent property damage to the elevated level of the Pend Oreille River. The level on Thursday was 2,041.2 feet at the Cusick gauging system. The current river level on Tuesday, June 3 was sitting at 2041.79 feet at Cusick. The county boating ordinance requires a no wake speed limit be placed on the river when the water level is at or exceeds 2,041 feet at

Cusick. The ordinance defines wake speed as a “slow speed producing no wake and further does not exceed 5 mph.” Violations of the “No Wake Speed Limit” are an infraction with a fine of $66. Current snowpack upstream of Lake Pend Oreille ranges between 125-175 percent of normal. Given the above normal snowpack, the Corps suggests people residing in floodprone areas should take precautions and be prepared for flooding including securing docks and boats. The Corps said the lake will likely reach an initial peak in the first 10 days of June and then may be drafted down below 2,062 feet by mid-June to conserve space for late June rain events. The lake will be in its summer operating range of 2,062 to 2,062.5 feet by Friday, July 4.The Corps is closely monitoring National Weather Service provided weather and snowpack conditions, lake inflow and forecasted releases and level of Lake Pend Oreille. The Corps will continue to operate Albeni Falls Dam to minimize flood damage. “Corps modeling using National Weather Service River Forecast Center hydrologic forecasts suggest we could see peak Lake Pend Oreille elevations ranging between 2,062.5 and 2,063.7feet, and outflows exceeding 100,000 cubic feet per second,” said Kristian Mickelson, an Upper Columbia Water Manager for the Army Corps of Engineers on Thursday. “The lake is currently at about 2,060.6 feet as measured at the Hope gage.” The Pend Oreille County Department of Emergency Management is monitoring the river level on a daily basis. Current information can be obtained by calling 509-447-1988 with the recording updated daily or as levels change.

was very similar to what they thought they could implement in the first year,” Heflick said. They also wanted “targets,” meaning they wanted to know all the amounts of educational opportunities, which schools they would be attending, how often they would be educating and they wanted them in writing before the implementation. Heflick said these were part of the original environmental assessment and the Forest Service would have to come up with the schedule down the road anyway. Heflick said that the pilot program option was never fully agreed upon so he felt there was no reason to move further with the “target” objection. Heflick said he is looking forward to continuing work with the collaborative group on these objections. No future meetings have been set. The plan includes roads from Middle Fork near Calispel Creek and goes as far north in the county as Tacoma Creek road, almost to the Tiger Pass. The first set of roads to be implemented will be in the north end of the county and offer a loop that will take riders into neighboring Stevens County. “They need the least amount of litigation to correct issues,” Manus said. The issues could be from old damage that was caused by 4x4 vehicles or other recreationalists on the forest system. The damage needs to be corrected for the Forest Service to designate the roads as mixed-use and open to ATV travel. The South End project is estimated to be a 15-year phase in process, however, Manus said different factors could speed up the process. “We are hoping it will go smoother than that and be quicker,” Manus said. The Forest Service said 2015 is a realistic timeline for mixed-use routes to be identified. They said the majority of new routes will be identified within five years. Other projects as part of the South End plan include new ATV routes, three new developed trailheads, designated camping along meadows and away from creeks, the temporary closure of the Philips Lake area for rehabilitation and restoration of damage that has occurred over the years. “The Colville National Forest will move forward with required safety analysis and restoration efforts in a phased approached starting the summer of 2014. We anticipate that a portion of the new mixed-use routes could be available as soon as 2015,” the For-

est Service said on their website. Two grants have been applied for regarding the funding for this project. The Economic Development Council has applied for money from two Colville Resource Advisory Committee grants, which oversees the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 funds the counties are required to give to RAC. Three counties, Ferry, Stevens and Pend Oreille, put money into this committee. The counties then apply for the money for different projects. According to Forest Service Public Affairs Officer Franklin Pemberton, there is currently about $580,000 in RAC funds and about $600,000 in projects. Pemberton said that 13 project proposals for funds have been received. “We always have more projects than funds, always,” Pemberton said. The first grant was filed by the Economic Development Council and would cover signage and restoration. This would put signs on trails stating if they are open or closed to ATV travel and would restore land and block trails with boulders or gates if needed. This grant is under RAC funds. Heflick said Conservation Northwest wrote a letter of support for this grant. The second grant, also applied for by the EDC and under RAC funds, is the trail ranger, education and enforcement grant. This would hire two people to serve as trail rangers for the summer months. It would also cover educational classes to educate people on ATV travel, safety, signage, courtesy and laws. Manus said the educational opportunities would cover the county as well as offer education to Stevens and Spokane Counties. Manus said some of the major problems are from out of county residents so educating them on laws and courtesy would be helpful. Manus said the reason the EDC is helping the Forest Service with grant funding is because it will bring tourists to the area. “That’s money we want to come to the county,” Manus said. Economic Development Council Director Jamie Wyrobek said the tourism could really help the local businesses with fuel purchases, food, hotel stays and shopping. “I think it could be a real good draw to the area,” Wyrobek said. She said the area is beautiful and once people visit, they usually return to the area in the future. The South End plan has been in discussion since 2007 and was implemented in 2011 before threat of litigation shut the project down. Manus said the mitigation on this plan SEE ATV, 9A

PUD: Average customer increase $3 per month FROM PAGE 1

will be 2.55 percent after the Boundary reduction. Holderman said the proposed rate is based on a zero percent customer growth for general service, meaning no new revenue from new customers. Holderman said the average residential customer would see about a $3 increase on their bill per month. The average increase for single-phase business owners will be about $3, similar to the residential increase, Holderman said. However, the commercial customers who use threephase power will see about $15 added to their monthly bill. Vegetation management may be covered under the increase. Holderman said the PUD has not kept up with vegetation management recently. “It was neglected for so many years,” Holderman said to the Commissioners, Tuesday, May 27, during the public rate hearing. PUD General Manager John Jordan said another driver for the cost increase is communication costs. He said the information technology needs and related connectivity costs increased to help the utilities with communication among the power system. Regulatory requirements are also driving the costs up, Jordan said. “North America Electric

Reliability Corporation (NERC) is a big cost driver as the federal government has instituted considerable technology designed to keep the power grid up and functioning despite any terrorist attack,” Jordan said. “If the grid goes down, our nation’s industrial might is affected. The goal is appropriate, however, the regulatory cost on a small utility can be staggering.” In 2012, Washington State had the lowest residential power rates in the nation and the PUD rates are two-thirds of the state average, Jordan said. He said the PUD reviewed a federal database on utilities with rate information on more than 2,000 investor owned, municipal, cooperative and political subdivision utilities. “Fewer than 60 had residential rates lower than the PUD, meaning we are in the top 3 percent of the nation for low rates,” Jordan said. “It is much easier to have low rates in an urban setting. This PUD only has eight customers supporting each mile of line. Screening out urban utilities with lower rates, the PUD is in the top 1 percent.” Jordan said the increase will not be used for covering the debt of the PUD or the debt incurred by the CNS fiber to the premise project. Holderman said the rate increase is sufficient to maintain the cash reserves of the PUD.

PLAN: Build 10-20 lots

tivities and a marina/dock on the Pend Oreille River. The staged development called Mountain Springs Ranch would likely be built 10 or 20 lots at a time. A cluster development is planned, meaning the lots could be smaller than five acres and clustered in a part of the property, with the rest of the land remaining open space. The planning commission conditionally approved the rezone in March. If developer Jay Henrie met the requirements for a master planned resort and submitted a binding site plan, planning commissioners agreed to recommend changing the zone. The natural resource lands would be changed from a NR 20 designation, meaning a 20-acre minimum lot size to Rural 5, meaning a 5-acre lot size minimum. The development was conditioned on a master resort plan and binding site plan being produced. That was wrong, county community development director Mike Lithgow said. The NR 20 designation comes with a tax break and when the developer paid the back taxes, Lithgow thought that made the development eligible for the rezone. Lithgow came to that conclusion partly because the definitions of zones were the same on the county’s development regulations and the comprehensive plan. Metzger says the rezone also needs findings and con-

clusions of law, something the new process will include. Henrie said that he had put together a development planning team of nine people to look into the development. “We don’t pretend to know what is best up there,” Henrie said by phone from Orem, Utah, where he lives. “We don’t want to build something that is not compatible.” Henrie said he is reluctant to put too many resources into the project before he has some indication that the county will grant the rezone. County commissioners appeared on their way to adopting a resolution in their consent agenda May 5 indicating support for the rezone before county commissioner Steve Kiss pointed out the problem of supporting something you will later hold a hearing and take testimony on. Lithgow will moderate the nine-member development planning team. The team is made up of Henrie, consultants Doug Cash and Greg Snow, Matt and Susan Hobbs, Jim Bottorff and two unfilled positions. They are reserved for someone from Aspen Reflections, a bordering neighborhood and for someone to represent economic development interests, according to Lithgow. For now though, the project will require the comp plan amendment, which has not yet been applied for. If that is approved, then Henrie could apply for the rezone.

B R I E F LY Middle Fork campground trashed NEWPORT – The Middle Fork Calispell campground in the Colville National Forest, located about 15 miles north of Newport, was left a mess after the Memorial Day holiday. “It was a typical Memorial Day scene,” said Franklin Pemberton, the public affairs officer for the Colville National Forest. The area was left with trash, which required several days to clean up, he said. “The bad part is there is only one person to clean up,” Pemberton said. When she is cleaning up there, other work doesn’t get done, he said. Pemberton said it used to be worse. He thinks it is mainly an education issue. Many people aren’t aware that dispersed camping means no services. No services means pack it in, pack it out, he said. The campground is the only designated Off Highway Vehicle trail in the Colville National Forest.

County-Forest Service may swamp right of ways NEWPORT – A right of way swap between Pend Oreille County and the U.S. Forest Service will be the topic of a meeting set for 3 p.m. Monday, June 16, at the county commissioners room at the county courthouse in Newport. The proposed land swap would trade county right of way at Rocky Creek Road in the Colville National Forest for Forest Service right of way on Mill Creek Road east of the Pend Oreille River. The purpose of the swap is so that the Forest Service could replace a single lane bridge that is currently closed. If the county were to replace the single lane bridge, they would have to install a two-lane bridge to meet standards. The Forest Service has different standards and could install a single lane bridge, Public Works Director Sam Castro said.

CUSICK –Cusick is applying for a $68,000 grant to add playground equipment, a wetland trail, a disc golf course and to repair the skate park in the town park adjacent to the Pend Oreille River. The application period recently closed for the grant programs, administered by the Recreation and Conservation Office, including the stateside matching grant program of the federal LWCF. The Land and Water Conservation Fund applications for local parks projects

has increased by 55 percent from 2013. The demand for conservation and outdoor recreation funding continues to increase as communities across Washington recover from the recession and prepare for population growth. Proposed projects include five parks in Pierce County, four in King, two in Lewis and Snohomish, and one in Chelan, Clallam, Clark, Grant, Island, Jefferson, Kitsap, Pend Oreille and Skagit Counties respectively. It would take $8.1 million to fund all 22 projects. In 2013, three Washington SEE PARK, 6A

LETTE RS POLICY

Don’t leave your mess for others

We welcome letters to the editor. Letters should be no longer than 300 words. Letters should be typed and submitted to The Miner office no later than 5 p.m. Friday for publication the following Wednesday. No letter will be published unless it is signed by at least one individual, even if the letter represents the view of a group.

eople love the parks, forests, rivers and lakes in this region but many also have the idea that they are in an amusement park where a huge paid staff cleans up after them. It isn’t true. In fact with government budget cuts and shrinking volunteer forces there aren’t enough people to clean up after others using public lands. So clean up your own mess. A good example of this growing problem occurred over the Memorial Day holiday. The Middle Fork Calispell campground in the Colville National Forest, located about 15 miles north of Newport, was left a mess after the holiday. “It was a typical Memorial Day scene,” said Franklin Pemberton, the public affairs officer for the Colville National Forest. The area was left with trash, which required several days to clean up, he said. They have only one person to clean up and it takes them away from other duties keeping the forest nice for visitors. Pemberton thinks it is mainly an education issue. Many people aren’t aware that dispersed camping means no services. No services means pack it in, pack it out, he said. But even where there are garbage cans the public should pack their garbage home. They should also clean up their campsites so the next person can enjoy it. This goes for county, state or federal public lands. It takes tax dollars to clean up the mess; those should be used for improvements and not unnecessary maintenance. Keeping shorelines on our lakes and rivers clean should be added to this individual duty list. Property owners and renters have the responsibility to make the shorelines look good for the public; the lakes and rivers are owned by everybody. As the summer season gets into full swing, it should be the goal of everyone to clean up their own mess when using public lands. Don’t leave it for someone else. --FJW

Grads, don’t let a tepid economy deny you success FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

It is a momentous time of year for students across the county. For some, it means a long-yearned-for summer vacation. For those graduating from an educational institution, there is likely hope for the future mixed with uncertainty. Many high school graduates will endure the seemingly endless wait for acceptance letters from their chosen universities. For those graduating from our local institutions of higher learning, the future holds cover letters, resumes, interviews and, ultimately, waiting. Being pushed out into the world amid continuing economic uncertainty can be a frightening prospect. And that cannot be sugarcoated, as recent college graduate unemployment remains consistently higher than average, according the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Perhaps more concerning is that college graduates are filling the ranks of the underemployed in high numbers. A 2013 report from the Center for College Affordability and Productivity found that, “about 48 percent of employed U.S. college graduates are in jobs that the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests require less than a four-year college education.” Further, the report notes, “about 5 million college graduates are in jobs the BLS says require less than a high-school education.” Those doom-and-gloom statistics are not meant to depress those who have, or are about to, turn the tassels on their mortarboards from the right to left, but to present the reality of their situation. It’s still tough out there. However, this is not the first graduating class to face a troubled economy still on the mend. It is a fate that has befallen many a graduating class before and it will be faced by graduating classes to come. Those who previously crossed from a blissful college experience to a new economic reality did so with the same fears and anxieties. And a great many of those graduates climbed out of the economic doldrums and achieved great success, joining the ranks of a productive, upwardly mobile citizenry. Likely some of the graduates of today are cut from that same cloth. It will require perseverance, positivity and a willingness to roll with the punches, but undoubtedly the graduates of 2014 will achieve their potential -- just as the others have before them. To all those graduating – the best of luck. It may not be the best of times, but it will ultimately be what you choose to make of it.

YO U R O P I N I O N We have the right to live off the grid To the editor: I recently read that the planning commission had voted to scrap the National Building Codes, adopting the International Building Code. Could the following eventually be our fate? Robin Speronis lives off the grid in Florida, completely independent of the city’s water and electric system. A few weeks ago, officials ruled her off-grid home illegal. Officials cited the International Property Maintenance Code, which mandates that homes be connected to an electricity grid and a public water source. That’s just like saying our dependency on corporations isn’t even a choice. The battle to live without most utilities has been ongoing for Robin. The self-sufficient woman has lived for more than a year and a half using solar energy, a propane camping stove and rain water. In the end, she was found not guilty of not having a proper sewer or electrical system; but was guilty of not being hooked up to an approved water supply. Sustainable living is not about giving up a certain lifestyle. Living off the grid wouldn’t be a problem, we have technologies that can generate our own power and provide unlimited amounts of clean energy for all our modern amenities. I’m talking

about free energy, which goes far beyond solar energy. We can have neighborhoods exactly like we do today, but even better. They would be totally green, off the grid and selfsufficient. The only problem with off the grid living is that corporations lose their ability to control the population. The human race does not need to be dependent on these utility corporations, be they private or publicly owned. While we continue to feed this dependency, the planet continues to suffer. Bottom line, anybody who has the desire to live off-grid should not be hassled, it should be a free choice. -Jim Cowan Newport

We can’t afford our image To the editor: America’s foreign policy is like someone maxing out credits cards for ultra-expansive clothes and makeup to create the illusion that they are rich and beautiful. In reality, they are a fake and in debt for buying things they can’t afford. America can’t afford to dominate, control or lead the entire world. How do we cut taxes and have the funds to create the illusion that we are the most powerful and greatest nation on the Earth? We don’t want to pay for our illusion. The president cites terrorism as the greatest

READE R’S POLL

threat, but in reality it’s our massive debt created to support our vision of American exceptionalism. How does a trillion dollar aircraft super carrier stop a couple of guys from making a pressure cooker bomb out of overthe-counter domestic parts? How does a $350 billion military stealth airplane attack and win a war with people living in caves? We simply don’t have enough planes and bombs to dominate the entire world and force our will on other countries. We can’t invade and control terrorism like it’s a county with borders. We can’t even stop terrorism within our own country much less terrorists in other countries. Political, economic, social and religious actions in other countries are not related to our national interests. Much of our domestic products come from China, but we are supposed to oppose them as an enemy. Turn off any news channel that is owned by people who want to promote perpetual war and American imperialism. We are being told that Social Security and Medicare are the cause of the national debt, but spending more on our military than all the other nations of the world is never mentioned as a factor in our debt. It’s really a joke that it’s called national defense. -Pete Scobby Newport

The Newport City Council has adopted a formal parks policy that sets guidelines for the use of city parks. The policy requires insurance for some groups who want to reserve the park and not for others. Do you think the city council is being unduly restricting of the public’s use of parks by this policy? No, insurance is a reasonable requirement to protect the public’s interest. The city administrator has enough experience to see that the requirement is carried out appropriately. Yes, the policy goes beyond what is necessary for the orderly operation of what is a public space.

Pakootas kicks off Congressional campaign SPOKANE- Joseph “Joe” Pakootas, 56, formally kicked off his campaign to win election to the Fifth Congressional District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives at Glover Field in Peaceful Valley May 29. Pakootas is running as a Democrat. Pakootas The seat is currently held by Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a Republican. Pakootas is the Chief Executive Officer of the Colville Confederated Tribes. In a statement announcing the candidacy, he took aim at McMorris Rodgers and the GOP, while touting his own accomplishments.

McMorris Rodgers and the Republicans have tried to dismantle Social Security, reduce access to healthcare and hand out tax cuts to the wealthy, he said. “No one should work full time and live in poverty. We must fight for our values - a strong middle class, pay equity for women, affordable health care for all, promises kept to seniors and veterans, education opportunities for our youth, clean air and water, and shared responsibility. We want a balanced budget -- but not on the backs of the middle class and the poor,” Pakootas said in the statement. Pakootas served on the Colville Tribal Council for 16 years, five as

chair. Pakootas says under his leadership, the Colville Tribal Federal Corporation (CTFC) has made a $10 million economic turnaround. The tribe has hundreds of employees and operates 13 businesses including two lumber mills, three casinos, a Twin Lakes Resort, two convenience stores and three grocery stores. He and his wife, Cheryl, have been married for 38 years. For 29 years they have owned and operated a small business. They have four children and six grandchildren. He has a 2006 Masters in Business Administration degree from the University of Washington.

The OSPI will withhold $52,000 in July 2015 and $51,881 in July 2016 from the normal district apportionment to cover the rest of the settlement. The letter from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), dated May 22, states the

auditor looked at the Learning Enrichment Center (LEC) and the HomeLink programs as one program instead of two. When the programs were evaluated separately, the errors were found. Business Manager Tom Crouch said the LEC program was new during the 2009-10 school year, the first year of the audit. The LEC program had about 25 students the first year and jumped to 71 for the 201011 school year. The HomeLink program was offered at the elementary school for parents to assist their elementary aged students with help from other homeschool parents. This program had about 20 students during 2009-10 and about 19 in 2010-11. Crouch said the auditor assumed the programs had the same filing practices with the OSPI and the programs are different. He

said the auditors were new to the ALE programs and made some assumptions. He also stated the District did not have perfect record keeping for the LEC program during the first year. “So they made some mistakes just like our brand new program made some mistakes,” Crouch said. “We are just glad it’s over and to have it behind us.” In other business, the board was updated on summer construction projects around the District campus. Maintenance Supervisor Scott Armstrong stated Stratton Elementary School would see a repaved bus lane because the Maintenance and Operations Levy funds being available. This project was identified under the levy. The board approved Poe’s Asphalt Paving from Clarkston, Wash. as the SEE AUDIT, 7A

Created by Congress in 1965, LWCF is the nation’s premier federal grant program for conservation and outdoor recreation. The program uses no taxpayer dollars. Instead, $900 million in offshore oil and gas lease revenue is meant to be invested in parks and outdoor recreation opportunities each year. However, year after year, Congress diverts a majority of LWCF funds for unrelated

Conservationists, sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts alike around the country are celebrating the 50th anniversary of LWCF this year and asking Congress to renew the program before it expires in 2015. “Washingtonians are demanding access to the outdoors -- whether that’s in the wilderness or at a playground down the street -- and LWCF could provide that,” said Joanna Grist, executive director of the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition. “We are grateful to have Congressional leaders in Washington who are championing this critical program.”

METALINE FALLS – The Pend Oreille Public Utility District began construction on the Sullivan Lake cold water pipe project, Monday, June 2. The project will pipe cold water from a deep part of the lake into Outlet and Sullivan Creeks to lower the water temperature to improve fish habitat. PUD Director of Regulatory and Environmental Affairs Mark Cauchy said the project should not impact summer recreation at Sullivan Lake. “Our goal is to have as little impact on summer recreation as possible,” Cauchy said. “There may be impacts on some types of recreation after Labor Day.” The PUD is required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to install the cold water pipe under the license surrender agreements for the Sullivan Creek hydroelectric project. The PUD will pay for half of the estimated $4-5 million it will cost. Seattle City Light, operators of Boundary Hydroelectric Project, will cover the other half of the costs. Construction work on the control building, utility work between the control building and the dam and above water dam rehabilitation work began Monday. The construction hours will be MondayFriday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The pipeline intake installation, Cofferdam installation, in-water pipeline installation and dam rehabilitation will start Wednesday, Sept. 3. All projects should be completed by Monday, Dec. 15. Staging and construction work will be performed at the boat launches. Crews will work MondayFriday, with the boat launch closing for the season, Tuesday, Sept. 2 at noon. The Noisy Creek boat launch will remain open with work dates starting Wednesday, Sept. 3. The system includes a pipe that will be more than 900 feet in length and more than 48 inches in diameter. Cauchy said the water would be released through the pipe at 30-50 cubic feet per second during the summer months. The pipe has a gate

that controls the flow levels. During the winter, the lake is already down to winter elevations, about 2,570 feet by the end of December, and the PUD just maintains this level. “It’s sort of like a siphon,” Cauchy said. “As the lake goes down, the pressure goes down. Basically by opening a gate, the pipe will flow water.” The pipe will remain in the

lake for at least 30 years but could be longer. “We are assuming it will be there 30-50 years,” Cauchy said. “The pipe would become sort of a permanent structure.” Cauchy said this project has been a group effort. “We have done a lot of coordination with the Forest Service and the public to make this project a success,” Cauchy said.

two years. What will you miss the most? Watching a kid who is afraid to drive a car at the beginning of the semester and at the end of the semester driving with confidence. Also, watching a kid who keeps saying, “I can’t play the guitar” and at the end of the semester is playing “Stairway to Heaven.” What are your plans in retirement? Fix up my shop, get my fishing boat ready and take a couple of trips.

Doug Longly has many friends and Candi Shanholtzer said he will be missed. Her son Tyson was looking to purchase a classical guitar. Tyson has spent four years learning to play under Longly’s direction. He could not find the right guitar and went to Longly to offer him money for the one he had been using. Longly told Tyson that it was his intent all year to give him the guitar following the last concert. Candi said he would not even take a dime for the guitar. “He just has the biggest heart in the world and always a smile on his face,” Candi said.

The old Ione train depot was torn down Friday, May 9, because it would have cost millions to renovate. The depot served Ione residents as their passage out of town until 1949 when it was replaced with the current one, owned by the North Pend Oreille Valley Lions for their scenic train rides.

The old Ione train depot BY LILA MIDDLETON SPECIAL TO THE MINER

IONE – A 1910 photo, taken by a man named Frank Palmer, shows the original Ione Train Depot waiting for passengers to board. Heading south, the train was pulling three passenger cars by a beautiful steam engine showing a No. 81 in front. On top is a large light and next to the rails below, you can see the ‘cow catcher.’ The train had probably just filled up with water from the large water tower behind it, some water towers held as much as 100,000 gallons of water. The water tower came down sometime between 1952 and 1959. It leaked badly and was dangerous for youngsters who liked to crawl inside to explore. Then diesel engines replaced the steam engines. The huge two-story depot was built with lumber from the Panhandle Lumber Company in Ione, possibly about 1907. A stairway in the center of the depot led to a Purser’s living quarters on the second floor. The dormer of his room looked northwest towards Pencil Tuk and Cement (aka Mt. Jordan) Mountains. He was the one who operated a telegraph for the Idaho & Washington Northern Railroad. The loading dock ramp was located on the south end, where freight was picked up or ready to be shipped out by various individuals. Mid 1949, the depot had to be moved to its present location, east across Railroad Avenue and next to the original old two-story Grange I.O.O.F. Hall on Main Street. To move this enormous building was quite an undertaking by a company from Idaho that was experienced in moving large buildings. Men jacked it up, slipping big timbers, steel beams and wheels underneath it, then easing it across the street. Today a new Ione Train Depot sits on the original site and is now owned and operated by the North Pend Oreille Valley Lions Club with train rides operating six weekends a year. Throughout the years, the old depot was used for many things. Living quarters for the Bob and Mary Jordan family were upstairs in the Purser’s old quarters. The Jordans installed a cold storage locker plant for area residents, as there were no refrigerators or freezers then, only ice boxes in some homes. In early 1960, the old depot

was made into the Melody Roller Rink, operated by a family named Newcomb. Locals remember having a lot of fun learning to roller skate. Walking in through the southwest door, the customer counter was on the right and the skates were up and behind the counter on that level. Along the east wall skaters sat on benches to put on their skates, then walked down three steps to the skating floor and there were as many as 25-40 kids who would skate to good music at

a thing of the past. However, there are always memories, lots of memories, good ones too, to pass on to the children, grandchildren and the greats. Locals tell of their parents or grandparents taking their various meats, beef, pork, etc., to a local butcher to have cut and wrapped. They then would put it in the cold storage locker plant for future use. One had to enter through a huge heavy insulated door, insulated with sawdust from the sawmill, to get to their respective locker.

Historic train depot leaves lasting memories Last day standing was May 9 IONE – The more than 100-year-old train depot in Ione stood its last day, Friday, May 9, because the building would cost too much to restore. “It’s really dilapidated and has no structural value,” said Dylan Powers, owner of Block Bar and Grill in Ione. “It has to come down.” The building is currently owned by the Powers family and Powers said the building would cost millions to restore or rebuild and no one wanted to take on the project. The Powers salvaged what they could and hired a company to take the building down. Plans for the tear down were four years in the making. He said they tried to donate the depot to the North Pend Oreille Valley Lions, who operate seasonal train rides from the depot that replaced this one in 1949, but they did not want it. one time. Also in early 1960, several local men in the community had an idea and decided to build about 10-12 small Pumpkin Seed Racing Boats in the old depot to race on the Pend Oreille River for the annual Down River Days celebration at the Ione City Park. A few years later, a fella came in to raise angleworms in the old depot, so a ‘worm farm’ was created. Eventually a gift and novelty shop was in there. It was vacant for some time, then part of it became private living quarters. On May 9, the old Ione depot was torn down and is no more. It had served its purpose and a parking lot takes it place. Like a lot of things, it is

A small foot ladder was available for people who were short and couldn’t reach their locker on the third tier. The lockers were three rows high and over 200 lockers were in the room. Each locker’s wooden door measured 26 inches by 19 inches, with four rows of slats for air circulation. Each door had a number and some had the individual’s names on them. They were given a padlock and a key. The rent charge for a locker per year was less than $10. It was below zero in there and a person didn’t waste much time getting what they needed to take home for dinner. Walking into the locker was terribly cold and scary so a person didn’t stay but a few minutes.

no, Johnson said, but that events like the rally were not permitted in TJ Kelly Park. There was talk of the need for an application and possibly insurance. One of the pro union supporters, Bob Eugene of Diamond Lake, figured out that the public right of way at the park actually extended about a foot onto the grass, so they punched their signs into the grass next to the sidewalk, with the tacit approval of North. The confrontation was the subject of discussion by city attorney and county prosecutor Tom Metzger at Monday night’s city council meeting, June 2. “Some folks were concerned that this needed a permit or application,” Metzger said of the city’s reaction to the pro union rally. “It was a misunderstanding.”

PRIEST RIVER – The Priest River Lamanna High School class of 2014 graduated 82 students Saturday, May 31 at the high school.

lights the ambiguity of the city park use policy. Small groups, such as birthday parties, don’t need insurance for a reserved event, but groups like the rodeo pickers, a group of bluegrass playing campers who used to come during the Newport rodeo, are required to have insurance. They won’t come this year because of the insurance requirement. City personnel and, ultimately, King, makes the call, although people can always appeal to the city council. Janelle Belton appeared before the council Monday night asking them to extend the hours past the “dusk” closing hours for her daughter’s birthday party. This time of year the city considers dusk to be 8:30 p.m. There are athletic awards the night she wants to have the party, so some party

Metzger said what the sign wavers were doing was clearly allowed. “My legal opinion is that this is protected activity,” he said. He said he didn’t get a call until after the rally was over. Prior to the Monday night meeting, city administrator Ray King said he wasn’t there and didn’t have anything to say about the situation. During the meeting, city council member Mark Zorica asked if a permit or application was needed. “This doesn’t approach a situation where you need permits,” Metzger said, “especially when you factor in freedom of speech.” After the city council meeting, Schutte said that she knows now that small rallies like that are permitted. She said North was most concerned about the signs puncturing waterlines. Some potential park users are saying that this high-

goers could be late. She hired someone to help clean up and asked permission to stay until 10 p.m. The city council approved her request. City council member Ken Smith acknowledged that the new parks policy has drawn some criticism. “Some people are not thrilled about the insurance,” he said. But the policy is justified, he said, in the event of a lawsuit. “Without the policy in place, the insurance company won’t pay,” he said. He acknowledged that the city has a $1,000 deductible for damage claims, and any one lawsuit probably won’t break them, but it could cause their insurance carrier to drop them. He said if groups really want to have an event that requires insurance, there is usually a way to get it. He says people who want to reserve the park for an event should read and fully fill out the application. “They may not need insurance after all,” he said. Some, like former Pend Oreille County Commissioner Joel Jacobson, have suggested that the city could use hotel motel tax funds to buy insurance riders to cover special events in the parks. Smith said that he hadn’t

ROXY THEATER thought of that but that he would consider it if it were presented to him. He didn’t know if hotel motel tax funds could be used for insurance premiums or not. King had asked the state auditor to review the use of hotel/motel tax funds for event insurance last month. They hadn’t responded. Spokane civil rights attorney Breanne Beggs said that the burden is on the government, not the people, for any restriction of the use of public parks. Small groups like the pro-union one have maximum freedom of expression, he said. If a group were denied access successfully sued, they would be awarded attorney’s fees, he said. Newport isn’t alone in problems with implementing a parks policy. The city of Spokane has a 60-day advance notice requirement for reserving a spot in their park. Beggs thinks that is clearly unreasonable, but the Spokane parks are governed by an independent parks board and they haven’t seen fit to change the reservation policy.

B R I E F LY Society Lecture Series starts in June NEWPORT – The Pend Oreille Historical Society and Museum present author and historian Jack Nisbet, Thursday, June 19 at 7 p.m. at the Roxy Theater, where historical figure David Douglas will be highlighted for his time spent in the Inland Northwest. The series is free to the public. Between 1825 and 1833, Scottish naturalist Douglas made the first systematic collections of flora and fauna in the region. He also forged strong personal connections with local fur trade and tribal families who were intimately tied to the landscape. The slide presentation will examine some of what Douglas saw and what his observations have to say to us now. The Pend Oreille County Historical Society will present The Society Lecture Series throughout the summer, offering lectures on history, art, geology and current events to increase the understanding of the world. The Society Lecture Series 2014 is made possible by a grant from Humanities Washington and the support from the Friends of the Society.

Union Ave. The Pend Oreille Players said “Pirates of Penzance” is a story in which ineffective pirates must face down bumbling bobbies

because of one man’s unwavering sense of duty. It is a story where love is at first sight, the intellectually superior are only in their mind and attempted swordplay is common practice.

Cusick freshman Alana Keogh, No. 121, leans in hard for the finish to take home second place finishes in the 100 meter and 200 meter runs for the Panthers at the State Track and Field Championships, Saturday, May 31.

200-meter run with 26.04 seconds. “Alana set personal records in both events. In the 100, Alana got the sportsmanship award medal as well,” Cusick Head Coach Jenni Jones said. “She is a very well rounded athlete and her sportsmanship shows it. Her drive and determination to compete goes above and beyond.”

Joining Keogh at state from Cusick was senior Quinton Montgomery who placed fifth in the shot put throwing 42 feet, 2 inches. “He lost fourth place by one inch and was just off his personal record by eight inches,” Jones said. “Quinton is a very smooth and consistent thrower. He provided leadership and was captain of the track team.” The Newport Grizzlies sent

Rocky McDaniel to state where he competed in the triple jump, taking home seventh with 42 feet, 2.25 inches. “On his final jump he flew well into the 43-foot range but scratched by just a little and finished in seventh place and a state meet medal,” Newport Head Coach Rory Axel said. “An outstanding job by an outstanding young man.”

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.
