Planning commissioner seeks protection By Don Gronning Of the Miner

NEWPORT – It’s not very often that Spokane District Court Commissioner Eric J. Dooyema has to handle an anti harassment case protection order case involving attorneys. “Normally we don’t have attorneys on both sides,” Dooyema said when he heard the case in Pend Oreille County District Court Tuesday, May 28.

Small fires pop up around valley By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner

PRIEST RIVER – Fire season seems like it’s getting an early start this year, with a brush fire reported Monday, June 3 off of Hoop Loop Road in Priest River, plus two fires that started the same day Friday, May 31 in north Pend Oreille County. Fortunately, none of the fires have done major damage. According to Sharla Alredge, Pubic Information Officer for the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) Pend

Oreille Forest Protection District, Monday’s fire was contained to half an acre after IDL and West Pend Oreille Fire District crews responded to the scene around 4:30 p.m. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. “It’s currently in mop up and we have a fire truck and four firefighters out there now,” Alredge said Tuesday afternoon. Of the wildfires IDL responded to around the state in 2018, 80-percent were human-caused, Alredge added.

You have to start somewhere, history of House of the Lord By Rick Alkire For The Miner

OLDTOWN – There are several reasons to start a church and there is more than one way to do so. Whatever reason is chosen, it takes a great deal of patience and faith to keep going even through hard times. The House of the Lord in Oldtown is a story of a small group of people who decided one day to start a new congregation. “House of the Lord made being a Believer very simple. Come as you are,” said Cindy Dockins, one of the early church goers. “There was a great deal of honest energy – shoes were optional.” The church body was multigenerational, she said, although families were on the younger

side, so the children were very important back when the church was starting in the early ‘70s. Not every church start is successful but the evidence is visible every time you drive by the church building located at 754 Birch Lane. A large, vibrant congregation has emerged from what started out as a small Bible study held inside a house in Furport. Gil Reno started the study in 1972. He turned it over to Ken and Sami Arthur one year later. During the next two years the group grew to between 30 and 40 people. In 1974, the church was established. The home of Howard and Beverly Hundley was used to handle the larger group. The Courtesy photos|House of the Lord

‘Safety issues put us over the top’ Misuse causes camping ban at Freeman Lake

By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner

OLDTOWN – Strewn garbage, illegal activity and campers overstaying their welcome have lead to overnight camping being banned at the Freeman Lake Access Site, according to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG). “Safety issues put us over the top,” says IDFG Regional fisheries Manager Andy Dux. “We’ve resisted this closure for as long as we can.” Located five miles north of Oldtown in Bonner County, the site will remain open for day use and access to the public boat launch is still available. “It’s been a problem for a number of years,” Dux says of the Freeman site’s misuse. He did not have an exact number for the amount of times IDFG enforcement officers have been called out to the Freeman Lake Access Site over the past year, but he says it has been “fairly regular” during the summer season over the last sev-

eral years. Issues like garbage dumping, drug use, fighting and people overstaying camping limits have become a safety concern, Dux says. “It’s been rather routine at peak recreation season,” he adds. Camping was free at the Freeman site, with a limited stay of 72 hours (three days). Similar situations occurred at Cocolalla Lake, causing IDFG to ban camping there in 2018 and at Shepherd Lake in 2016. “People are such pigs anymore,” Vickie O’Brien posted on The Miner’s Facebook page about the Freeman site. “What ever happened to pack it in pack it out? Clean it up and leave it better looking than when you got there. My dad and grandfather pounded that into our heads at an early age and I pounded it into my kids’ heads. This is why we can’t have nice things!” The IDFG Panhandle Region is responsible for 40 access sites that stretch from the Canadian border to south of Lake Coeur d’Alene. “We visit these sites weekly and accumulatively, it becomes a challenge when you want people to feel safe,” Dux says. “Freeman will continue to be a fishing opportunity though,

Freeman Lake Access Site is now closed to overnight camping, after concerns of public safety and garbage dumping put too much strain on regional Idaho Department of Fish and Game resources.

so we hope people continue to recreate there.” Over 800 catchable-sized rainbow trout were stocked this spring. Only electric motors are allowed on the lake. Located off of Freeman Lake Access Road on the west side of the lake, the site offers a dock, boat launch and vault toilet. Nearby campgrounds include Pioneer Park, just across the

border in Washington, and Albeni Cove on the Pend Oreille River in Idaho. Dux says he doesn’t see the decision to ban camping at the Freeman site being changed any time soon. “At this point in time, it just doesn’t seem feasible,” he says. Contact the Fish and Game Panhandle regional office with questions at 208-769-1414.

Fires: Downed power line caused a brush fire on Highway 20 From Page 1A

was dispatched to the location on Sunday, June 2 to monitor for heat and confirm there was no chance of the fire starting up again. Also Saturday, a downed power line caused a brush fire along Highway 20, burning half an acre. Local fire district crews and DNR responded. Washington’s first major fire event of 2019 in Grant County grew to more than 5,000 acres the morning of Tuesday, June 4 as it burned its way east, forcing multiple evacuations. The 243 Fire, as it has been dubbed, started shortly before 9 p.m. on

Monday, according to the State Fire Marshal’s Office. The cause is still under investigation. The 2018 wildfire season resulted in more than 1,850 blazes in Washington, the most in the state’s history. Fires are also plaguing Canada this year, with wildfires in Alberta, Canada, burning more than 700,000 acres of land and forcing 11,000 people to evacuate, according to the province’s government. The Chuckegg Creek Wildfire, burning in Mackenzie County just two miles south of the town of High Level, has burned nearly 692,000 acres, while the Jackpot Creek Wildfire, near Steen River, has burned

more than 61,000 acres, according to news reports. The fires started in late May and have continued to grow because of dry conditions in the area. While some areas in the fire zone may see rain this Thursday and Friday, accompanied by cooler temperatures, there is no meaningful rainfall expected the rest of the week at Chuckegg Creek and Jackpot Creek. In August 2018, smoke from regional and Canadian wildfires drifted in to the Pend Oreille Valley, sitting in the valley and causing air quality to rise to unhealthy levels. According to the Washington Department of Ecology, on Monday, Aug. 20,

A lone tree smokes from a lightning strike, creating what the DNR referred to as the Flume Creek fire Saturday, June 1. The fire was quickly contained and caused no damage.

2018, air quality levels in Spokane and surrounding areas were reported as unhealthy at 195, meaning outdoor activity should be limited. In readings earlier that morning from the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Spokane had some of the worst air quality in the nation, measured at 382 on a 1-to-500 scale, meaning air was hazardous.

Anti-harassment: Case took entire morning to hear From Page 1A

heard over the years, he said, “I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve had attorneys on both sides.” Consequently, the case took the whole morning to hear. Pend Oreille County Planning Commission Chairman Norris Boyd is seeking an anti-harassment protection order against Citizens Against the Newport Silicon Smelter (CANSS) chair Michael Naylor. The case was originally scheduled to be heard earlier in the month but was continued to Tuesday, when it started. According to testimony and court documents, Axel Hiesener and his wife, Theresa, had observed county commissioner Mike Manus and Boyd at Kelly’s Bar and Grill in Newport Feb. 18. They called Sheryl Miller, a former county commission candidate who ran against Manus, suspecting Boyd and Manus were drunk. She called Naylor. Naylor went to the bar and observed Manus and Boyd while sitting in his car. Naylor then called the Washington State Patrol and the Newport Police Department to report his suspicions and what he observed. He also reported Kelly’s to the Liquor Control Board for overserving. Naylor didn’t trust the county, including the county sheriff, and didn’t want to report the case through the 9-1-1 system. But Boyd and Manus had only drunk water, not alcohol, when

they had lunch at Kelly’s Feb. 18. That was backed up by video and the check, said bar owner Kenny Arthur II. Naylor said he was especially concerned about drunk driving. “My father was an alcoholic,” Naylor said, his voice breaking. “My wife’s oldest daughter, Amanda, was killed by a drunk driver at 18. ... We go to her grave site every year.” Boyd testified that he takes an allegation of drunk driving against him seriously. “I graduated from the United States Air Force Academy and for four years lived under an honor code,” Boyd said. “I don’t lie about anything, not a thing. I served in the military and served with people where I don’t lie and they don’t lie to me. Our lives depended on it.” He said his integrity and good name are important to him because it affects his business. He said being falsely accused of drunk driving had to be answered. “It is a very big deal to me,” Boyd said. Boyd was represented by attorney Dana Kelley, who put on three witnesses in addition to Boyd – WSP Trooper Kyle Witt, Newport Police Chief Mark Duxbury and Arthur. Naylor was represented by attorney Milton Rowland, who put on one witness, Axel Hiesener, and Naylor. Dooyema didn’t allow the attorneys to cross examine Naylor or Boyd, just the witnesses. He said the burden of proof was on Boyd, who had to prove the case

with a preponderance of evidence, which is a lesser standard than in a criminal case, when the proof must be beyond reasonable doubt. Dooyema asked why Boyd had waited six weeks to seek a protection order. Boyd said he travels for work and was out of town. He said he needed time to hire an attorney and have him investigate. Boyd said he didn’t consider that an unreasonable amount of time. Witt testified that Feb. 18, he had an unusual call about a potential DUI. The call was not broadcast, instead the dispatcher contacted him by cell phone because of the unusual nature of the report, which was described as a political call. Normally drunk driving reports go through 9-1-1, which is operated by the county Sheriff’s Office, he said. Naylor didn’t trust the Sheriff’s Office or the county because of the smelter controversy. Duxbury testified that he had spoken with Witt and Naylor. Witt told him of the DUI call and Naylor said he wanted the city to investigate the DUI because he thought county officials were corrupt. Duxbury said he called Naylor a second time after he got a call from Arthur about a false allegation of overserving. Arthur wanted to open a complaint about a false allegation. Duxbury said he was upset because the law enforcement was being dragged into the smelter controversy. He said information about Manus and Boyd being served too much alcohol was not

true, as supported by the video and bar tab. Duxbury said he thought the call was politically motivated. “If they were so concerned that we had a drunk driver, why didn’t they call immediately and why did they call the president of the Citizens Against The Newport Smelter and not law enforcement,” Duxbury said. Upon questioning by Dooyema, Duxbury said he didn’t follow up on Arthur’s complaint about a false report because that would be handled by the Liquor Control Board and the WSP. Arthur testified that he had been contacted by the Liquor Control Board about over-serving. He said someone from LCB told him complaints, justified or not, stay on his record and that he could expect two more followup visits from them. Rowland said the case was more about defamation than harassment. “What (Boyd) really wanted to do was bring a defamation action against Mr. Naylor for besmirching him,” Rowland said. Nobody was accusing Boyd of being untruthful, he said, Naylor simply wanted to find out what to do if what he suspected was true. He said there was a law that allowed people to tell the government what they observed without facing civil actions. Kelley argued that Naylor’s actions of falsely reporting Boyd to multiple law enforcement and government agencies was harassment. Dooyema said he would issue a written ruling in a week or two.

Community service for meth plea By Don Gronning Of The Miner

NEWPORT – Patricia J. Risner, 50, of Newport was sentenced to 30 days community service for possession of methamphetamine and conspiracy to possess meth when she appeared in Pend Oreille County Superior Court Thursday, May 30. Risner pleaded guilty to the charges, which were reduced from a charge of possession with intent to deliver. Prosecuting attorney Brooks Clemmons said drugs were found in Risner’s house and he had a witness who bought meth in the house, which neighbors have long asserted was a drug house. But the witness may not have

Pontius to retire from Cusick CUSICK – After 31 years of teaching – 29 of them at Cusick – Tim Pontius will be retiring at the end of this school year. There will be a dessert reception at the school to celebrate this occasion Wednesday, June 12 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.

been seen as credible if the case went to trial, he said. Clemmons said that if they did get a conviction, there would be a mandatory prison term and he said he believed someone else would just step in and take over selling. Clemmons said it was better to have Risner in the house on community supervision. Superior Court Judge Pat Monasmith asked why prosecution added a second charge. Clemmons said it was to get Risner’s offender score up high enough she qualified for supervision. It was Risner’s first convictions. Defense attorney Doug Phelps said the police pulled over someone who had left the house and under strong questioning got enough to charge Risner. He said Risner fell into using meth because of a physical ailment. She has a vascular condition that causes her legs to swell, he said. Her husband was a truck driver, Phelps said, and Risner didn’t use when he was home on weekends.

Risner said she has been using meth for less than a year. She said she was found guilty by association. “I help people out,” she said. She said she was careful with her meth use and the scale was to weigh it for her use. “I weighed what I used,” she said when Monasmith asked about the scale. “I wanted to limit myself. I didn’t do it on weekends or around my husband. I never sold it.” Monasmith said the road to hell was paved with people who said they could use meth. “It’s playing with fire,” he said. “When I see baggies and scales, it smells like dealing.” He said if there were a stronger witness, the charges wouldn’t have been reduced. He sentenced Risner under a first time offender waiver to 30 days in jail, with credit for one day in jail and converted it to community service that had to be completed within a year. He also gave her $1,850 in legal financial obligations.

Smelter divide is ruining us

side from environmental and economic concerns regarding the PacWest/Hi Test smelter proposal, the process has created a community rift we hope will soon go away. The way we see it, the county and state governments originally thought the smelter would be a good way to save an economy based in commodities that won’t be around forever – newsprint and zinc. Elected officials – from the governor to the county commissioners – probably expected to be hailed as heroes. But then came the environmental concerns by a group of people who also believe they have the community’s best interest at the forefront of their agenda. They most likely believe they are fighting the good fight for the benefit of us all too. Both sides have their good intentions, but what is the path to hell paved with? Along with concerns over clean water and air and livable wages and opportunity came name calling, lawsuits, conspiracy theories, a death threat and now allegations of harassment that has wound up in court. When the issue is settled and PacWest either builds or leaves town, what direction will all this energy go? Maybe people fighting so heatedly for or against the smelter will take up another mantel, one that won’t result in accusations of murder or hypocrisy. If the people fighting so fervently for or against the smelter would join our local civic organizations, we’d never have a shortage of volunteers again. At the end of the day, it’s crucial to remember that we all live here. Some of us are mostly concerned about having clean air and clean water for our kids, while others of us are mostly concerned with the availability of living wage jobs so we can feed our kids. But when you think about it, the end goal is the same all around, right? A wise man recently pointed out that we have more in common than we don’t. That mantra bears repeating, and sometimes we have to repeat it over and over in our heads to believe it and keep ourselves from blowing up at our friends and colleagues. One thing is certain though, the ugliness that is coming out in people cannot be sustained, or we won’t have a community left to worry so much about. -MCN

Pack it in, pack it out I try not to judge. Like all of us, except for maybe infants or people you haven’t met yet, I know what it’s like to make a mistake and feel embarrassment and sometimes, deep regret. So I do my best to let you do you, boo. Most of us do silly things when we’re scared, lonely, angry, hungry or even hangry (it’s a thing), so we should all cut each other a bit more slack and not rush to take things so personally. Granted, I’m a flawed, sentient flesh suit like the rest of us, so I’m not always successful. Sometimes I have to check myself to stay in my S o p h i E ’ s own lane. But here’s where I veer off the CHOICE road and go fourbying into IrritaSophia tion Town: Litterbugs bug the stuffaldous ing out of me. If you read the front page, you saw that the Idaho Department of Fish and Game has recently banned overnight camping at Freeman Lake, located near Oldtown, because of excessive littering, among other things. Basically, there isn’t the staff and resources to continually clean up after people. This is upsetting, friends and neighbors. I have been to countries that don’t have the infrastructure to handle garbage. We don’t have that excuse. Granted, some countries like Malaysia are flipping us the emblematic bird and sending our garbage back to us (the international equivalent of getting mad at your sloppy roommate and throwing their dirty dishes on their bed because you’re tired of cleaning up after them, I suppose), but that’s another discussion. The point is there are garbage cans at Freeman Lake. There are garbage cans located along Washington Street in Newport and along High Street in Priest River. To save repetition, there are proper receptacles to throw your garbage other than the places we share for recreation. There are lots of things we all don’t agree on (that’s a given that’s on display almost 24/7 in journalism), but I think most of us can all relate to being taught at some point in our lives to clean up after ourselves. Your mom shouldn’t have to be called about it, and I bet she doesn’t want to be.

yo u r o p i n i o n Pend Oreille libraries are great, support levy To the editor, On Aug. 6, residents of our county will be asked to vote on whether we support the Pend Oreille County Library District Levy. While I could spend my 300-word quota telling you specific information, instead I will refer you to pocld. org/levy and share how spectacular and impactful the Newport Library is. When we moved to Newport, we knew very few people. So where did we go? The Newport Library! In addition to feeding our literary appetite, our local library was much more than books and has become a community center for our family. The library is a safe place where my children are able to play games, do crafts and interact with other children. In fact, as we approach June, they’ve already asked what fun events we’ll be participating in at the library this summer. The Newport

Library has also hosted my Girl Scout troop, and Maria, the Programs Director, helped them earn their Cybersecurity badges. The Newport Library helped me adjust to my new town and meet people. The friendly staff answered questions about our community, pointed me towards services or businesses in the area, and has an excellent selection of books on our local history. While I can only speak of my experiences at the Newport branch, if you haven’t been to one of the Pend Oreille County Libraries lately, I encourage you to please stop in. Talk to some of the friendly staff, try the Virtual Reality, take a class ranging from computers to composting, or find a good book to read. And please support the Pend Oreille County Libraries on Aug. 6. -Randi Schuh Newport

The sun is free energy To the editor, Last time I covered the need for fresh water consistent with the ris-

ing human population, and why fulfillment of this need will likely require ever increasing energy supply. I also suggested that obtaining the needed energy from so-called renewable energy sources is, in the long run, a better choice than increased use of fossil fuel sources. It is my view that the advantages associated with photovoltaics, as compared against other renewable energy technologies such as wind, make photovoltaics the preferred choice for large-scale implementation. Note that I exclude hydroelectric generation from this discussion since it is a legacy technology, acknowledging its obvious advantages over fossil fuel based electric generation. That said, a properly designed and installed photovoltaic system (even the small scale ones suitable for residential installations) requires basically zero mechanical maintenance over a 20 to 30 year operating lifetime, and will generate useful

electric energy anytime the sun shines. However, to be fair, those photovoltaic systems that are not connected to the electric grid will ordinarily include some type of battery, which will require some maintenance; living “off the grid” is not as glamorous as some would suggest (perhaps a subject for another day). In contrast with grid connected photovoltaics, other renewable technologies incorporating some type of mechanical system, such as wind turbines, continental shelf ocean wave hydrokinetics, or closed cycle ocean thermal, all require sustained routine maintenance. And by the way, these mechanical systems are environmentally intrusive, unlike rooftop photovoltaics (your house or garage or shop already has a roof!). Next time – the physical economics of photovoltaic sources. -David Bell Fertile Valley Road See letters, 5A

Visioning for a better county By Karen Skoog Pend Oreille County Commissioner

Pend Oreille County community leaders are collecting local data relating to our current state of the county. This data is relating to the status of infrastructure they oversee, a population group they serve, or Skoog projections they have relating to changing revenues and needs. These organizations have provided reports that analyze the circumstances of their public service, as well as projections and plans. This

is a great opportunity for the public to learn more about the various organizations that serve the public in this county as well as their challenges, goals and vision. The documents will be posted on the county website, www.pendoreilleco.org, and Economic Development Council website, www. pocedc.org. We have also provided a “State of the County” executive summary of the documents. The purpose is to build our partnerships to greater vision and to bring accurate data to the community for them to consider as we plan for the future. In mid-June, a public visioning process will begin for the county’s 2020 Compre-

r e ad e r ’ s p o l l President Trump pardoned Michael Behenna, a former Army soldier who had been convicted of murdering an Iraqi prisoner. President Trump is reportedly considering pardons for several other men either convicted of or accused of shooting unarmed civilians. Do you think it is right for a president to issue pardons for war crimes? Yes, the president has the absolute right to pardon whoever the president feels deserves it. No, it sends a horrible message to the troops who don’t commit war crimes in combat as well as to the rest of the world that the U.S. condones such actions. Yes, Americans in combat situations shouldn’t have to fear being convicted of a war crime for doing their jobs. No, the U.S. isn’t above the rules of war. It’s up to leaders, including the president, to respect them.

hensive Plan Update. Pend Oreille County is required by law to complete a 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update. The comprehensive plan is a policy document that forms the regulations surrounding land use. It should also form the vision and direction for our community. It helps to know where we are to understand where we need to go, and the State of the County will assist in getting the big picture.

Legislation introduced to extend the Secure Rural Schools Program WASHINGTON, D.C. – Eastern Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., and Congressman Joe Neguse, D-Colo., introduced the Secure Rural Schools Extension Act, bipartisan legislation to extend the Secure Rural Schools program through Fiscal Year 2020. The Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act (SRS) was first introduced in 2000 to assist counties containing tracts of federallyowned land that are tax-exempt. The program provides payments derived in part through timber receipts and other leasing activities within National Forests back to county governments where those forests are located. “The Secure Rural Schools (SRS) program provides critical financial certainty to many of the rural counties here in Eastern Washington,” McMorris Rodgers said. “This legislation will extend this program through Fiscal Year 2020 so that our rural communities can continue to fund important infrastructure projects, public education, law enforcement and other essential services. Without this funding, people in rural, timber-dependent communities will get left behind.” “The SRS program is a primary source of funding for schools, moun-

tain search and rescue, road maintenance and other services that Coloradans rely on. We are obligated to maintain this program which provides for these integral services,” Congressman Neguse said. “I’m proud to introduce this critical piece of legislation, and will continue to be a champion for our rural schools to ensure they receive the funding they need.” Nearly 100 years ago, Congress passed legislation to specify that 25 percent of revenues from timber harvests on federal lands would be shared with affected counties. These funds went to public schools, roads and other municipal needs. Unfortunately, over the past few decades, timber production has drastically fallen on federal lands. This has devastated the tax base and virtually eliminated revenue sharing for essential services. Reforms are needed to better take care of our forests and get people back to work. In the meantime, certainty needs to be provided to counties by extending SRS. Currently, the uncertainty caused by the expiration of this program makes it nearly impossible for these counties to plan annual budgets or invest in public education or infrastructure.

Preparing to Serve Generations to Come

Letters From Page 4A

D-Day vets didn’t think of themselves as heroes To the editor, The D-Day anniversary is coming. That’s June 6, 1944. Seventy-five years ago my father-inlaw was at Omaha Beach before the first wave. His job as a combat engineer was to blow up obstacles to clear the way for the landing craft. His unit was in rubber boats setting charges in the dark and sustained 90 percent causalities. A few days later my dad landed on the same beach. Elmer Estes made it back, got married and was my wife’s father. These brave men didn’t think of themselves as heroes.

They didn’t talk much or brag about their war experiences. The invasion of France happened during a war of liberation. The war was won and ended. Today, the wars never end and cause mass migration of populations as the war destruction is total and with no treaty to end it. The fleeing victims are often further mistreated when they land in another country, and are usually perceived as a nationalistic threat. I don’t think my fatherin-law or father would approve of America’s conduct in recent wars. I don’t think they would want their grandchildren or great-grandchildren to experience the wars of today. These wars make matters worse for the

population that would normally be liberated. America’s involvement leads to civil wars when a dictator is replaced or weakened. Our involvement is related to economic interests and presidential imperialism. Our presidents appear weak if they don’t bomb the bad guys and a few innocent people with them. War has become a political tool for leaders to maintain their powerful positions. Consider if America needs to go to war with anyone just because it can. How would we react if a foreign government invaded our country and dropped bombs on us on the basis of their interests? -Pete Scobby Newport

Newport wins third in international SeaPerch challenge NEWPORT – The Grizzly Discover Center SeaPerch team took third place in the Rescue and Recovery Mission Challenge at the 2019 International SeaPerch Competition, which was held at the University of Maryland June 1-2. The team consisted of Jeremy Ward and AJ Wiese, both freshmen at Newport High School. The challenge was based on the 2018 rescue of the Wild Boar soccer team who had ventured into Tham Luang cave, one of Thailand’s longest and toughest to explore. The boys, aged 11 to 16 years old, and their 25-year-old coach, became trapped in the cave due to severe rainfall that caused the cave to fill with water. Remotely operated vehicles (ROV) were used to map the cave system and enabled dive teams to plan a successful rescue. Each element performed by the students at the competition simulated a part of the rescue. The challenge required that they place a magnet on a sensor to cause a beacon to light. Then, they had to move a handle to open a vault. Next, they had to move four canisters, one at a time, out of the vault to a staging platform and deposit them in the correct sized cup. Finally, they had to move two broken ROV parts back to the recovery platform before exiting the course. “Our GDC team was only able to go thanks to the generous donations from local businesses, individuals and organizations,” said Vickie Blanchet, Grizzly Discovery Center Program Director. “Thanks to the Newport Community for your support.”

Choir recognizes exceptional students NEWPORT – If you didn’t catch the Newport High School’s Choir concert at The Roxy Friday, May 16, you missed out. Students, led by band instructor Greg Schuh, sang songs from a variety of genres, including folk, doo-wop, stage musicals, pop and rock n’ roll. Songs included Billy Joel’s “The Longest Time,” “Bohemian

Rhapsody” by Queen and Coldplay’s “Fix You,” to name a few. After the concert, Schuh recognized students who lettered in choir and had gone above and beyond in the program. The NHS Outstanding Choral Student Award went to Miranda Campbell and the National School Choral Award went to Emily Johnson.

HOTL: A half-acre was donated a building erected in 1975 From Page 1A

group called itself Furport Community Sunday School. The church would later be known as Furport Church of the Body. Church was enjoyable, Dockins said. “The original worship team was a band of former hippies,” she said, “beautifully sincere.” They made things fun. “Family night was a hoot,” Dockins said. “I bought my pet goose once. ‘Judah’ was trained to attack on command. Actually, he attacked everyone on his own.” Cindy and her husband, Brian, are elders at the church. A half-acre of land was donated to the church north of Furport and a building was erected in 1975. The congregation met there for five years and outgrew the facility. Ten acres of land where the church is located today were given by Bob and Marti Roseborough. One year later the upstairs was useable. The body of believers moved in to the building in 1981. Pastor Arthur served the church for 17 years before retiring and remaining in Newport. He has a shop where he

works on motorcycles on the lower level of his home. His favorite memory from those years was opening the door of the school on the first day. Arthur’s last service at House of the Lord was in 1991. He remembers a lot of weddings and a few funerals. In the mid 1980s, Stan Fleming came alongside Arthur to help shoulder the load of school and pastoral duties. Stan became the principal of the House of the Lord Christian Academy. In the spring of 1992 Stan and his wife Kathleen became the senior pastors of House of the Lord. Stan continued his duties as principal of the school while studying to get his masters and doctorate in theology. The change from Arthur to Fleming took its toll. “The church and school went through a difficult time after Ken Arthur stepped down and Stan Fleming took his place as pastor,” said Yvonne Wayland, a current church member. “A church split took place and enrollment at the school dipped down to 30 students almost forcing the school to shut down.”

The church and the school continued though. The church got bigger, remodeling was done and support ministry was added. In August 1993 two elders were added to the pastoral team and four sets of deacons to help with the ministry functions of the flourishing congregation. At that time, Mike Croston became Pastor of Christian Education and assumed the duties of acting principal at the school. The school opened its enrollment to include children from other Christian churches causing the school to grow to the point of having to increase staff along with seasonal volunteer coaches. In the meantime the church continued to grow in numbers and influence. Missionaries were sent into foreign and domestic mission fields. The church supports several missionaries. In 2005, Stan and Kathleen Fleming began to sense their time at the church was coming to an end. Pastor Stan’s writing and speaking engagements were taking him across the United States and foreign countries. He now heads a non-profit

organization called Gate Breaker Ministries. The Flemings currently live in Boise, Idaho. In the summer of 2007, Jeff and Robie Ecklund became pastors of House of the Lord. The couple had been serving a similar church in McCall, Idaho, for seven years before coming to the church where they currently serve today. Jeff and Robie were ordained after serving in a ministry internship at New Life Center in Okanogan, Wash. “It is a privilege for Jeff and I to serve Jesus here at House of the Lord and to serve the people of HOTL,” Robie Ecklund said. “We’ve also had the great joy of getting to know the other pastors in our area, and consider them friends and fellow workers in Christ. God has an amazing plan for this region and we are grateful and humbled to be part of what He is doing.” The church has recently embarked on a remodeling project to accommodate the growth they have experienced in the past two years. Dockins says the church is still true to its roots. “We were encouraged to become better people,

Noiseguy coming to local libraries CUSICK – Contrary to popular belief, you don’t always have to be quiet at the library. More often than not it’s appreciated, but there are some exceptions.

p.m. On Thursday, June 27, he will be at the Ione Library at 2 p.m. With only a microphone Williams brings laughter to children of all ages. He’s worked as a DJ, MC, cartoonist, kids’ comedian, children’s librarian and a dancing air balloon in front of a car dealership. He is a published author and is now the vocal foley effect artist

for Sound Safari Theater, an audio company that produces children’s albums and educational programs about onomatopoeia. Voice foley is the non-talking sound effects, which a voice actor makes to enhance a performance.

Former PORPA member competes for WSU By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner

PRIEST RIVER – Former Pend Oreille Rowing and Paddling Association (PORPA) member Austin Miller has kept on rowing, earning a spot on the Washington State University (WSU) men’s rowing team. Miller, a WSU freshman and son of Greg and Kim Miller of Sandpoint, along with his team, placed fifth out of six, beating UCLA in the PAC-12 championships held May 19 in Sacramento, Calif. Miller rowed Varsity Men’s novice-8. The men’s team also competed in the American Collegiate Rowing Association championships held

at Lake Lanier, Gainesville, Ga. on May 24-26 (results coming for next week’s newspaper). There were over 60 teams competing to qualify, with Miller rowing a novice-4. Races are 2,000-meter sprints with eight boats lined up together side by side at the start. WSU also placed third in the Row2K race at Notamas, Sacramento, Calif. held April 27-28. Miller was sitting in the fifth seat and the team managed to qualify Saturday, April 27 to make the grand finals on Sunday, April 28. “This was a major accomplishment as they were the only WSU boat to make the grand finals; the competition was intense,”

Rodeo back on television It was good to see the World Champion Rodeo Alliance’s recent televised Titletown Stampede rodeo rodeo from sc e n e Green Bay, don Wis. It Gronning was a welcome return of rodeo to broadcast television. All rodeos will benefit from the exposure, especially with the WCRA format, which allows points from any organized rodeo event to count towards a qualification for the $1 million one-day rodeo. Rodeo gets a fair amount of cable television exposure and the Professional Bull Riders is televised on broadcast television several times a year. But broadcast television, with its broad reach, is valuable and expensive. The format at Green Bay is still pretty world champion heavy, as points from big rodeos count more. Still there were some people in the head-to-head competition for the $50,000 who were not marquee names. Walla Walla’s Derek Kolbaba, was thrown off Sunday in the long go in the bull riding, though he won the first go-round of the regular PBR event held in Green Bay that weekend. The format for the Titletown Stampede and what was televised was a head-to-head competition between two contestants. The two were the top two of the 10-contestant long go round. The event winner

received $50,000, second place $25,000. The third place finisher in the long go won $10,000. Those are good paydays, especially for breakaway ropers. The breakaway roping Boisjoli sisters, Shelby and Makayla, kept the money in the family, with Shelby winning with a 2.88 run and Makayla second at 8.77. In the tie down roping, incredibly, Cory Solomon and Tanner Green, both missed, having each tied a calf in 8.01 and 8.44 respectively moments before. They still got $12,500 each, with the remainder of the prize money going forward to the next competition. In the team roping, all the team of Garrett Tonozzi and Joe Mattern had to do was catch to win $50,000. They made a solid 12.55 second run, quite a bit slower than the 3.91 long go run that go them there. Steer wrestler and college rodeo coach Stockton Graves won his event with a 3.65 second run. The barrel racing was won by Michelle Darling with a 13.368, who beat Sabra O’Quinn, who knocked over a barrel. The bareback riding was the most competitive event, with Clayton Biglow turning in a 91 and Seth Hardwick a 92. Louisiana’s Cody DeMoss won the saddle bronc with 90.5-points, with Shorty Garrett coming up with a 85-point score. Brazilian bull rider Joao Ricardo Viera won his event with an 87.5 ride. Jesse Petri bucked off. Viera has won an astounding $826,000 this season in PBR and rodeo competition, with $74,777 coming from Green Bay. It was good to see the CBS televised event.
