Parade, carnival, music featured at 64th Newport Rodeo

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – There will be bucking bulls and broncs, cowboys and cowgirls and plenty of thrilling arena action at this year’s 64th annual Newport Rodeo.

But there will be far more entertainment than that in Newport this week, with music, a parade and carnival all happening

during Newport’s biggest week, capped by rodeo performances Friday and Saturday night, June 21-22, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Musicians have already started arriving for Rodeo Pickin,’ an informal bluegrass music party that will take place throughout the week in the campgrounds behind the rodeo grounds. People are invited to come listen or play, as jam sessions will be held all week long.

Making a splash Newport spray park opens ahead of warm weekend

BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Summer begins this week, and kids in Newport will have a new way to cool down once the temperatures rise again. The new spray park at the Newport City Park is open for the summer.

It was a chilly day for the grand opening Friday, June 14, the first day of summer vacation after Newport schools closed. Mayor

Shirley Sands addressed a small crowd.

The real fun began on the weekend, when the mercury passed the 80-degree mark. The park was busy Sunday afternoon.

Kids weaved through high arcs of water, took sips from the umbrella-like spouts and leaped over the geyser-like fountains.

On the periphery, adults watched from the colorful benches or spread out a towel in the shade.

Some are too far off the road. The tree needs to be close enough to the road for the cranes and trucks to reach it.

“We found many possible trees that at first glance looked great, but after careful inspection had some defect – several tops, several trees together, branches not full enough,” Sears said.

Swanson sentencing delayed SANDPOINT – Sentencing for a man who killed his wife and unborn child has been post-

poned.

In April, Jeremy Keith Swanson, 27, pleaded guilty to one count of first degree murder and one count of second degree murder for the death of his wife Jennifer Swanson and her unborn child. The killing happened in Priest River last December.

Swanson was scheduled to be sentenced in June but prosecutors and defense agreed to delay it so that Swanson could undergo testing to see if he had a brain injury that affected his actions.

Swanson will be sentenced once the examination is completed and report filed. He is currently being held in the Bonner County Jail.

RODEO | Parade route changed this year FROM PAGE 1

derway about 5 p.m., when the Old Fashioned Carnival opens.

There will be a variety of food vendors, carnival games run by local non-profits, as well as other carnival attractions, including kids slides, a mechanical bull and the Orbitron – a spinning contraption that lets people be human gyroscopes. The Old Fashioned Carnival is put on by the Newport-Priest River Rotary Club.

For the first time in several years, Paradise Amusement will return with some carnival rides.

Bingo will get underway at 5:30 p.m. where the beer garden used to be located. People can buy cards for $1 or six for $5 to play a 50-50 game. The Soroptimists are putting on the bingo, with 50 percent of the entry money paid back to the winner and 50 percent going to the Soroptimists.

The beer garden location has changed to inside the rodeo grounds, in the uncovered grandstands on the east side of the arena.

The beer garden is scheduled to open at 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

www.twitter.com/MinerNews

The Rotary is sponsoring the beer garden. To enter the beer garden, a rodeo ticket will need to be purchased for that evening’s show.

Saturday will start off with the Cowboy Breakfast, put on by the Eagles Auxiliary starting at 7:30 a.m. at the Newport City Park.

The Rodeo Parade will take place at 11 a.m. Saturday. The parade begins and ends at Stratton Elementary School, where parade participants will gather at 9 a.m. in order to be judged. The parade route has changed a little because of road construction. The route will turn up First Street instead of proceeding farther down Washington Avenue.

After the parade the action will shift back to Newport City Park, where The Last Chance Band will be performing from 2:30-5 p.m., with KUBS radio playing music during the band’s breaks.

The Old Fashioned Carnival will open at 2 p.m. Saturday and continue until the rodeo performance concludes. At 6:30 p.m. Saturday, the new Life Flight helicopter will land at the ball field near the rodeo grounds.

“Everything is still moving with the commitments that we’ve made,” he said.

PUD commissioners learned last week that the fiber build out in south Pend Oreille County is $1.9 million over budget, do mostly to the engineering costs. The $34 million project is largely funded by a federal stimulus grant.

The PUD exceeded its grant requirement of hooking up a minimum of 900 homes and businesses to the fiber network along with building the entire network.

It’s made 3,600 connection, but the 400 remaining underground connections won’t be done unless a customer requests service.

District managers are still examining ways to pay for the overrun, in the meantime, the PUD will ramp down work on the fiber system as soon as possible. Jordan said the goal is to keep contractors Henkels & McCoy on board and finish the work by the end of July.

Some parts of the fiber backbone are still not complete, some splices need to be done, and some hubs need work.

The rodeo itself attracts competitors from throughout the Northwest (see separate story page B1). The rodeo has all the standard rodeo events, which, along with the popular pantyhose pull, will be held each night.

In this event, two-person teams of local contestants are turned loose on a herd of unsuspecting calves, with the object of putting pantyhose on them. Hilarity ensues as the contestants, many of whom haven’t been around livestock much, attempt to dress the calves, who haven’t worn pantyhose before.

Prizes are awarded for the first team to get pantyhose on their calf and everyone who participates will get a T-shirt. People or businesses interested in participating in this event should call Ray Hanson at 360-770-1180.

After the volunteers find some options, the Capitol architect will visit June 26 to make the final selection.

The tree will be cut in November. It will be cut standing up, with a crane holding the top. Once chopped, another crane will be used to turn it and lay it on the truck.

Celebrations will be planned around the town closest to where the tree is found.

Once it’s on the truck, the tree spends three to five days visiting all the towns in the Colville Forest, and some other Washington state cities. It will be on the road for four weeks before it reaches Washington, D.C. Washington state will also provide 80 other trees to go in the Capitol offices. Volunteers

They were one of the first groups there Sunday, and said it took their boys a second to figure out how to get the water flowing.

The red pole at the entrance to the splash park has a touch center that triggers the system. Tapping the poll with your had will send the water flying.

City officials are adamant that people follow the rules of the spray park to help keep it sanitary and in working order. No pets are allowed in the fenced area. No bikes, skateboards or skates are allowed on the concrete pad, as their wheels could damage the spouts.

drops for those not signed up for service,” Jordan explained in an email to The Miner. “We have not stopped activity where we need to complete the backbone. However, to save costs, it is possible we might change our plan of attack and move some completion dates back.”

“Right now, the goal is to be able to hook a person up anywhere in the service territory by the end of July. But that could change as we develop our plans for ramping this project down,” he added.

Jordan said the two-person PUD crew can connect 35 to 40 homes per week, but there is a two-month backlog at this time. That puts them into mid-August based on current sign ups, and that date will get later as additional service requests come on board.

“For those who have not requested service yet, we will honor our commitment to get fiber to their premise, but at our own pace,” Jordan said. “They should be patient and trust us to keep our word.”

He said if a customer puts in an order for service from one of the retail service providers, they will move into the first category of people the district is trying to hook up.

No food or glass containers are allowed in the spray park area.

The park will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., at least through Labor Day. School will be back in session after the Labor Day holiday.

The park cost about $179,000 to build. Half of that was funded with a grant from the Washington state Recreation and Conservation Office through the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program.

The city contributed some work in-kind and collected some donations.

Local businesses donated engineering service, equipment rental, supplies and rock, electrical work.

Others pitched in with building work and laying sod.

BR I E FLY Priest River collecting comments about stray cats PRIEST RIVER – Feral cats are a cause for concern for Priest River residents and city officials are hoping a survey will help get a better idea of how large of a problem it is before considering an ordinance to deal with stray cats.

A short survey was mailed to homes last Thursday and can be found online. As of Monday night, 39 out of more than 800 mailed surveys were returned.

The survey consists of six questions, including, “Have you experienced a problem with a feral cat?” and “How important is the issue of cat control?”

Roberts hopes for a large number of surveys returned so the issue can be resolved in a timely manner.

To participate in the survey online, go to http://priestriver-id.gov/.

New group meets visitors in Newport

NEWPORT – Recent warm temperatures will bring more snowmelt to area rivers and streams. The melt rate is estimated at 1 to 2 inches per day. May started out with record high temperatures which threatened an early snow melt, however midmonth temperatures dropped back to seasonally normal and the end of the month actually brought some light mountain snow and heavy rains in the south west and central parts of the state.

The Pend Oreille basin’s snowpack is at 87 percent of average, but only 57 percent compared to last year. Precipitation is higher than average - about 113 percent.

Long temp forecasts indicate a chance of near normal temperatures but will remain drier than normal through the summer.

As winter turns to spring so does

the thought of snow recreation change to water recreation. As the ripening snow pack begins to melt and fill the rivers and streams to bank full, people need to remember the power and unforgiving nature of ice cold snow melt water.

Memorial Day weekend, three teenagers tipped their canoe in rushing waters near Metaline Falls.

They were in the 56-degree water for about 20 minutes before they were able to get themselves out. All were treated for mild hypothermia and released.

Every year, people get caught in the extra swift currents of our mountain fed streams. It may be 80 or even 100 degrees outside, but that water is still ice cold, and until the majority of the mountain snow is gone and water levels subside it will remain that way.

Loyce Akers is at the counter in the visitor center in Centennial Plaza last week. She is president of River Arts Alliance, the group that has contracted with the Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce to run the visitor center this year. RAA will open the visitor center from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day except Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Neighbors concerned with lunar festival NEWPORT – Residents of Willms Road in South Pend Oreille County brought their concerns about a proposed lunar festival to county commissioners Monday, June 17. They said a full moon lunar festival is being planned at a five-acre field. The

first of the monthly events would take place June 21-23, according to the Facebook page.

Residents were concerned about the amount of people the area could accommodate and possible criminal activity. Commissioners told them the sheriff has been

alerted, but it would be difficult to stop it before it happens.

They discussed the permitting process, and some expressed concerns about property rights.

The festival would need a permit, especially if admission is charged or if vendors are on site. Organizers are apparently trying to sidestep that requirement by calling it a family potluck.

Commissioner Mike Manus said it could turn out to be a nice, reasonable event.

He told the residents to keep an eye on things and if it gets The port has been in the middle out of hand to contact law of a shop construction project that enforcement. will hopefully be completed by Dec. 1. The extra meetings will be held to make sure that construction documents and updates are complete in a timely manner.

“We are just covering all our bases,” port manager Kelly Driver said. “The extra meetings are all related to the shop construction.”

Extra meetings for Board of Commissioners USK – The Port of Pend Oreille Board of Commissioners is adding four extra meeting dates, in addition to the regularly scheduled meetings on the second Tuesday of the month at 9 a.m.

The extra meeting dates will be June 28, July 23, Aug. 27 and Sept. 24. All meetings are held at 9 a.m. in the Port office, 1981 Black Road, Usk.

Newport Rodeo is an old friend

F

or more than 60 years, the Newport Rodeo has slipped into town like an old friend coming home to visit. The unique event and celebration that surrounds it can’t be recreated. It cuts the dust from parched throats with the ice-cold beer of traditions and magical Western myths. Many communities are envious of these few special days in Newport.

The Newport Rodeo is worth keeping for more than sentimental reasons. It brings thousands of people to town as either participants or fans to the actual two day show. It also creates an atmosphere of community celebration and pride.

Would there be a parade without the rodeo? Would so many people schedule their family reunions or return visits around rodeo weekend without it?

Some don’t get why small communities work so hard on their festivals and events. These people also don’t get what makes small town life attractive.

Like anything in life, a community celebration can’t simply stand on the same ground that made it successful in the past.

Changes are always needed.

The Newport Rodeo Association understands this and has added some new action to the show. They are also taking a close look at the entire weekend’s activities and offerings.

They’re committed to making it the best community celebration in the region now and for decades to come. It’s a lot of work by a few volunteers but we think it’s worth it. Let them know you do as well by attending the events this weekend.

And they could always use your help next year to make it bigger and better than ever.

|| Support the playhouse To the editor: The Pend Oreille Playhouse is an amazing asset to our community and we need to find the funds to keep it open.

My four children have been involved at the playhouse for the past three years. Over those years they have learned so much including singing, dancing, acting, set design and costuming. While those are great skills to have, they have learned even more than these.

They have also gained confidence, learned public speaking, followed through with major commitments, worked together as a team to put on a production, worked with actors from age 6 to 75, learned to listen to and follow through with direction and so much more.

In addition to being in plays and musicals they have also been able to see wonderful productions of such shows as “Wizard of Oz,” “Sound of Music,” “Annie” and “Anne of Green Gables.” I am thankful that my children have a place to see quality, wholesome theater for an inexpensive price.

Yes $80,000 is a huge amount of money to raise, but if everyone donated what they could we could continue to have this community theater in our midst.

If you have never seen a production at the playhouse, “Sound of Music” plays this weekend and next at the playhouse in Newport.

Revelations that the U.S. government has been collecting phone records and tracking internet use of virtually all U.S. citizens have been in the news recently.

Should the government be able to track the phone calls and internet use of its citizens without a court order?

Yes, I have nothing to hide and if tracking my internet use and phone records helps keep the country safer, I don’t mind.

No, it’s outrageous. You should be able to make phone calls and go online without the government tracking what you’re doing. This isn’t China.

Yes, it’s not really spying. Businesses have been collecting data about your online use from the start, the government should be able to do this in a limited manner for national security.

No, and what’s worse is that people don’t seem to mind.

sioner race. What am I missing with this decision? I understand with the resignation of Commissioner Merrill that the Republican Party submitted applicants, from which the commissioners made their selection. Two of those applicants are now running in this upcoming election. Now, it is time for the voters to choose their new commissioner.

Mr. Boyd can say that they aren’t endorsing one candidate over another, but a contribution of $1,300 is significant in a local campaign. I know because I was treasurer for Gary Driver’s campaign when he ran for commissioner. That contribution, effectively, does endorse the candidate as he is able to get his name out into the community via signage.

The incumbent always has an advantage as they get name recognition during the time that they are doing their elected job.

Shouldn’t the coffers be building up for future contested races? As a long-time contributor to the Republican Party, I am shocked that these hard-earned donations would be used in a campaign where there are only two candidates – and they are both Republicans!

I am not endorsing one candidate over another in this race. That is not the issue.

The voters should and will decide who the right person is for the job. Each candidate needs to take their case to the people. That includes getting their name out there. Some people will be influenced by the number of campaign signs that they see posted in their friends’ and neighbors’ yards.

Is there more to the story than what was reported in The Miner? If so, I feel that the Republican Party owes an explanation to their members. County voters deserve a chance to get to know both candidates running for the

To the editor: Congratulations to the people of Pend Oreille County and the PUD for getting a world-class broadband system!

It is no secret that veterans are facing difficult times. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) claims backlog has been a problem that has risen to national attention and prompted outrage, concerns and questions.

And for good reason. As Americans, we must do everything we can to ensure that programs and benefits GUEST administered OPINION by the VA are REP. CATHY being done MCMORRIS RODGERS as efficiently R-WASH. and effectively as possible.

This includes addressing the growing size of the backlog claims for disability benefits.

While President Obama and VA Secretary Eric Shinseki have a goal by 2015 that veterans should wait no more than 125 days for their claim to be processed, my office talks to veterans daily that have waited too long and still have not seen a resolution on their claims with the VA. These benefits being put on hold are vital to a veteran’s quality of life.

Today, there are over 850,000 veterans waiting for their benefits claims to be processed.

Over a quarter million of these veterans have waited over a year for their earned benefits. I have witnessed firsthand that the VA is dealing with seemingly unending stacks of papers and complex claims. However, this is not an issue that can be swept under the rug any longer.

We must address the growing size of the backlog claims for disability benefits at the VA. This is an opportunity to be creative and innovative – to establish an effective system for our nation’s veterans. While the current paper-based system was effective following World War I when it was established, it clearly is no longer the best system for the 21st century.

I recently voted to pass the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2014. This bill allocates millions of dollars to address the backlog issue.

The goal is to have a paperless system with digital scanning of health care records by 2015.

This is an ambitious and necessary goal. I want to ensure that progress is being made to meet that goal and prevent claims from continuing to pile up.

We all know technology can make things streamlined and more effective. However, technology alone won’t solve all the issues surrounding the

position. May the best candidate win.

Fiber project shows ineptness To the editor: After reading your June 12 publication of the fiber project being $1.9 million over budget, it totally substantiates what I said in a letter published by this paper a few weeks ago, that the saddle horn goes to the head or to the tail.

We were No. A78 to sign up for broadband installation and it has not been done. They have marked my yard and driveway some seven times.

Your paper shows gross incompetence in this whole project and I agree with John Jordan, PUD manager, that you utterly failed. In a few weeks, how can the overrun go from 200 grand to $1.9 million and the engineering and inspection costs be $4 million more than anticipated? I think Rick Larson pointed out that 13 times during meetings that the project was one time and within budget, and six week ago it all went to hell.

I have a suggestion for the PUD: Don’t come to me with a rate increase, as you would be hard pressed to run a taco stand. This whole project shows ineptness on a grant scale.

Many thanks to the Border Patrol To the editor: A big thank you to all the Border Patrol personnel that put on the bikeathon for our kids in Ione and our area. What a kind way of showing our children that the Border Patrol are not someone that they need to fear or be scared of. Thank you once again.

My granddaughter, Sophia, was “over the top,” her words when she heard about it. I was there to watch it and I found that the kindness and encouraging words to the kids from the Border Patrol was great.

It was handled in an orderly fashion and all the kids had fun.

I took several pictures I will be saving for my granddaughter to see later on in her life.

mission when he told MSNBC recently that his guy (Obama) was off the hook on the IRS scandal because “part of being president is there is so much beneath you that can’t know because the government is so vast.”

Also, the liberal media’s defenses of Obama’s lack of responsibility prove the tea party’s point that an ever larger has become all but impossible to govern.

These scandals erupting merely confirm their worst predictions about what happens when government outgrows its boundaries and limitations.

Now, with even more evidence (NSA snooping) that the federal government has taken snooping to levels once considered the province of conspiracy theorists.

Remember what Thomas Paine said, “Government in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”

All this incompetence and ignorance completely undermines the argument for a larger activist government. The way that they are setting up our government now is that they can effectively deny any responsibility for damages and abuses, and no one is accountable.

The government doesn’t get to use illegally obtained information against us. If that were the case, we might have 10 or 20 times the 2.3 million citizens we have behind bars.

The real danger is what happens to the personal data the federal government and its NSA collects. How is this data used and is it protected? This data could be used in the future any time that you apply for a job, loan, insurance policy or dozens of other applications you make.

Say for instance that you are accused of a crime that you didn’t commit. Would you want the prosecutor to be able to listen to or read everything you have said or written in the past 10 years? Once your wittings and conversations are collected, they can be retrieved and used against you.

We are dealing with secret courts and a government that has legalized the violation of privacy. The collected data is being managed by “unnamed” government officials in secret.

The potential for corruption and misuse is limitless. Today, there is no such thing as a government secret. Political scandal is now normal and has replaced governing. In this environment our personal privacy is all that stands between us and government tyranny. God help you if someone in the government decides to target you and everything you have ever said or done.

Student unfairly left out of eighth grade promotion To the editor: My son is a model student. He is polite, respectful, well liked by his peers and teachers, and excels in his other classes. He has a GPA of 3.09 and received an award for outstanding academic achievement from the President’s Education Awards program.

Even though he’s getting As in almost all his other subjects (including honors English), he was not allowed to participate in the eighth grade promotion ceremony because he did not pass his algebra class. The only consequence he should be facing is having to retake the class in high school.

This sends a false message that despite all his accomplishments, he still isn’t good enough to participate in a celebration of achievement with his peers.

Because children are so impressionable, this has the potential of having a lifetime effect on his self-esteem and self-worth. My son is fortunate that he is part of a loving family who focuses on the positive aspects of life.

Even though he feels sad that he couldn’t’ join his classmates in the promotion ceremony, I know he’ll bounce back because of our support. Unfortunately, not all kids are this blessed. In my experience, most kids who do poorly in school come from less than ideal home environments and are continually punished for their lack of achievements.

Wouldn’t it be nice if they didn’t have to face that in their school environment as well?

I am writing this letter not only for my son, but on behalf of all children who deserve to have their accomplishments recognized, instead of putting emphasis on their failures. Even though it’s too late for my son, I hope that the faculty at Sadie Halstead will consider changing this rule so that children in the future who have passed the eighth grade will be allowed to participate in promotion.

Sadie Halstead is a great school, but even the best schools have room for improvement.

ATV riders should pay for damage To the editor: Regarding the article “Offroaders damage forest meadow” from the June 12 edition of The Miner.

The clean up for these violators is done by tax-dollar-funded quick response teams from Stevens, Ferry and Pend Oreille counties. And while only 7 percent of population ride ATVs, all of us pay for the restoration when abuses occur.

No other form of visitation wreaks as much havoc; not horses, or snowmobiles, not mountain bikes, and certainly not hikers. In my opinion, ATVs should only be used on private land, not public lands.

But since they are going to be used on public lands, then ATV riders should be made to pay a significant fee/duty to do so, and the funds collected should be set-aside so that the ATV riders themselves pay for the damages ATVs cause on public lands.

They should fund the quick response teams. Then in time, the fees/duty could be reduced, even eliminated when the abuse stops.

That’s how to get the ATV community to self-police.

County planning commission approve five projects

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

CUSICK - The Pend Oreille County Planning Commission approved a number of projects at its regular meeting June 11 in Cusick, including a small surface mine on Beaver Valley Road.

Terry Shyrock applied for a conditional use permit to develop a small surface mine to mine granite at 1178 Beaver Valley Road.

Three people wrote to express their opposition to the project.

“It is a residential area,” wrote Robert Tuttle. The noise, the pollution and the impacts on wildlife were all reasons to turn down the project, he wrote.

Terry and Mike Brannon wrote that they also opposed the project.

“This is not an industrialized area,” they wrote in their comments. “This project will harm wildlife and will be very hazardous to senior citizens who live here.”

Commissioners added three conditions, then voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit, with Steve Wilson, Doug Smith, Don Comins, Steve Bennett, John Stuart and Guy Thomas voting in favor.

Susan Hobbs, Roby Payne and Judy Ashton didn’t attend the meeting.

Commissioners required that the applicant have trucks that muzzled jake brakes, obey the noise ordinance and control the dust on the road.

The mine is less than three acres in size and would have no more than 4-5 trucks a week traveling down the road, McLaughlin said.

The PUD had two projects before the commission. The PUD

Copper • Brass • Aluminum Stainless • Aluminum Cans Batteries • Radiators

applied for a substantial shoreline development permit to stabilize eroded stream bank area at Power Lake. The PUD wanted to stabilize the bank, create an overflow channel and remove sediment form the boat launch area. Commissioners unanimously approved the permit.

The second PUD proposal was a little more controversial. The PUD had installed power poles along the Pend Oreille River in the Riverbend area last year without the proper permits. The planning commission then voted to deny the permits when the PUD applied.

This time the PUD decided to run the power lines a couple miles north along LeClerc Creek Road to an existing crossing, according to Todd McLaughlin, natural resource planner for the county.

The planning commission unanimously approved the project.

Commissioners also unanimously approved a variance for Dan Meuller to construct an addition to an existing shop at 722 Yergens Road. The variance was needed so Meuller could build closer than 25 feet to the road.

County development regulations require a 25 foot setback.

Commissioners unanimously approved the variance.

Commissioners voted 5-1 to approve a variance for Jerry Graves to build a new garage at his 5322 N. Shore Road property near Diamond Lake. Stuart voted no. Graves had been before the commission last month with the project and commissioners tabled any action.

Graves redesigned the project to increase the thickness of the concrete to take into account some large trees and their roots.

Transfer station gets an upgrade

Plastic bag recycling now available

BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Those dropping off trash and recycling at the Deer Valley Transfer Station will notice some improvements. Pend Oreille County used state funding to do some paving work, add sod around the weigh station and do other work.

Plastic bag recycling is something new for the south county transfer station. The two Trex boxes not only take grocery bags, but also bubble wrap, cereal box liners, dry cleaner bags, plastic bags that come over

magazines and newspapers, overwrap from products such as paper towels, plastic produce bags and Ziplock-type bags. All colors of bags are accepted, but they must be empty, clean and dry.

Solid waste coordinator Beth Gillespie said the county collected more than 126 pounds of plastic bags in May. “That’s a lot of plastic,” she said.

Those recycling other types of material will be driving on a newly paved area around the dumpsters. Solid waste staff said they’ve heard many compliments. People are happy they don’t have to walk through a mud puddle to do their recy-

cling, they said.

In the trash dumping area, there are now signs indicating four different lanes so multiple people can unload at once.

The improvements were accomplished with hazardous waste and household recycling grant dollars.

The county received about $124,000 from the Washington State Department of Ecology for the biennium.

Some of that pays for salaries and maintenance. Some pays for the paving, which is being done in phases. When the funding reups in July, crews will pave the hazardous waste area. In 2014, they plan to pave the tipping floor.

NEWPORT –Newport residents living near South Union Avenue attended the Newport City Council meeting Monday, June 17, to address their concerns about alleged drug houses that they feel are taking over their neighborhood.

Almost a dozen people from different age groups came to the meeting to ask for help with the growing problems. The residents feel that nothing is being done to combat the issues that come with having alleged drug houses nearby.

William Paylor has lived in the area for more than 10 years and he says that low-income housing is one part of the drug problem in Newport. The citizens want to see a task force implemented or more police presence to help with this ongoing problem.

“I personally have observed a lot of activity and it usually centers around three

residences. These guys move from one low-income housing to another,” Paylor said. “We should have resources available to protect its citizens. That’s a given.”

This concern has grown for the people living in this area of the city in the past several years and the neighborhood has implemented a block watch and plans to take further steps to protect themselves.

One resident feels that the houses in question should be taken down.

“They just go house to house,” she said. “We cannot pack (a weapon) when we are out mowing the lawn. It just has to stop.”

Another young resident feels the same.

“You can’t even do yard work without carrying a weapon,” she said.

The mayor and the council plan to address this issue with the sheriff’s office in the next few weeks.

The council has tabled the discussion on the drug problems until the sheriff can be present. They will be addressed at the next city council meeting July 1 at 6 p.m.

“When you have a mouse infestation, the source of the problem is food. They are getting food from someplace. Get rid of the food, the mice go away,” Paylor said. “We can’t do nothing. It is not an option.”

Mayor Sands said, “It is going to take diligence by all of you to be calling in every single night documenting it.”

Historical color palette proposed for downtown Newport

BY DESIREÉ HOOD OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Newport businesses might give themselves a facelift with a color palette that is designed to unify the area and bring back the historic feel of a town that started in the late 1800s.

“They are all historic colors,” chamber of commerce member Kandi Gentis said at the city council meeting Monday. “They flow together and they look nice and will really improve the look of the town.”

The Greater Newport Area Cham-

ber of Commerce was given a grant from the Pend Oreille County Economic Development Council (EDC), to come up with a color scheme.

Sandpoint designer Marti Kellogg recommends this color scheme. It is designed to unify the area and make the businesses more attractive to visitors and locals.

Kellogg presented the 20-color palette to the chamber saying the colors were neutral and would work with the existing colors already used throughout Newport.

According to Gentis, the businesses that she has talked to about

the color change are excited to participate.

Gentis is trying to rally support for this project by holding meetings on the next few Thursdays, 8 a.m., at TJ Kelly Park in downtown Newport.

Businesses between Second and Third streets meet June 20, and businesses between Third and Fourth meet June 27. Other meetings will be scheduled soon.

To see “before and after” pictures of sample buildings, or to see the color palette in person, contact info@newportareachamber.com or stop by the visitor’s center.

Sandpoint to Spokane bus run starts July 1 SPOKANE – People will be able to take public transportation from Sandpoint to Spokane starting July 1, when Special Mobility Services starts a four-day a week van service, with two runs each Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

People will be able to ride from Sandpoint to Spokane for $5. For the first run, the bus will leave Spokane about 6 a.m., picking up people at a variety of locations.

The bus will arrive at the Safeway in Newport about 7:45 a.m. and will leave at 8 a.m., arriving at Mitchell’s IGA and the Senior Center in Priest River about 8:10 a.m. It will arrive in Sandpoint

about 8:40 a.m.

State announces marijuana timeline OLYMPIA – The Washington State Liquor Control Board announced its timeline for recreational marijuana draft rules.

July 3 the Board will file its official draft rules with the state code reviser.

Aug. 7 there will be a public hearing on draft rules, and Aug. 14 the board will adopt the rules.

Sept. 14 will be the effective date for the rules and the board will begin accepting applications for all license types.

“In keeping with our goal of an open and transparent process for drafting the rules,

we’re going to take an additional two weeks to consider the lastminute input we’ve received,” WSLCB Director Rick Garza said. “The board was prepared to issue the rules on June 19.

However, it’s our responsibility to carefully review and consider the comments we received.”

The WSLCB is drafting the rules that, together with Colorado, will govern the world’s only comprehensive systems of growing, processing and retailing marijuana for recreational use.

At least one person in Newport has expressed interest in selling the drug at a retail store.

Priest River annex subject of hearings PRIEST RIVER – The Priest River City Council will take public comment on two proposed annexations. A pair of hearings are planned for July 1 at 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

The first hearing concerns annexing a light industrial zone on the west end next to the industrial park at the request of the Priest River Development Corporation. A company was interested in the using the area,

but movement has slowed lately.

The next hearing is regarding the proposed community center.

Builders are hoping to hook the site to city services. They are requesting a zoning designation of C-2 for the land on the northeast corner of Highway 2 and Bodie Canyon Road.

Written comments must be received by July 1 at 4 p.m. Mail them to city hall, P.O. Box 415, Priest River, ID 83856.

Wolves may be delisted by federal government Management could shift to state WASHINGTON, D.C. – The management of gray wolves in Washington could soon be exclusively under state control with a proposal announced Friday by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to end federal protection for the species.

While gray wolves are considered endangered under Washington law, the federal Endangered Species Act protects only those in the western two-thirds of the state.

Sen. John Smith, R-Colville, said ending federal protections after three decades of nationwide recovery efforts would signal that wolf populations have reached recovery levels. Smith also credited the legislative action taken in Olympia this session as having a significant impact on the USFWS decision to move forward with their proposal.

“It is a good thing when the federal government can relinquish control back to the authority of the state,” Smith said in a news release. “Local is always better in my mind.”

The proposal is supported by Gov. Jay Inslee and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission.

“This proves that the voices and concerns from people in eastern Washington are being heard – not only in Olympia, but in Washington, D.C. as well,” Smith said.

“The suffering and loss endured because of wolf recovery has not been in vain. The proposed removal of federal protections moves us in the right direction to find solutions for the future.”

The agency said recovery of the wolf population has been successful, following management actions undertaken by federal, state and local partners.

In the Western Great Lakes and Northern Rocky Mountains, the gray wolf has rebounded from the brink of extinction to exceed population targets by as much as 300 percent. The recent proposal affects wolf populations in Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah and North Dakota.

Gray wolf populations in the Western Great Lakes and Northern Rocky Mountain Distinct Population Segments were removed from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife in 2011 and 2012.

The USFWS will open a 90-day comment period seeking additional scientific, commercial

and technical information from the public and other interested parties. The final determination won’t be made until 2014.

“The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is firmly committed to the long term persistence of wolves in Washington,” said Miranda Wecker, chairwoman of the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission. “The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission believes the state should be responsible for the management of wolves and supports the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s consideration of delisting gray wolves under the federal Endangered Species Act. By publishing the proposed rule, the service ensures this important consideration can take place in an open and public process.”

Conservation groups say removing federal ESA protections for wolves across nearly the entire lower 48 states would be disastrous for gray wolf recovery in the United States.

“Removing federal protections for wolves at this point would be devastating for the recovery of the gray wolf,” said Marjorie Mulhall, associate legislative counsel at Earthjustice. “Wolves are still missing in the vast majority of their former range.”

Last month, six leading conservation groups sent a letter to Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell, urging her to reverse course on the planned delisting. The letter was signed by the chief executives of the Center for Biological Diversity, Defenders of Wildlife, Earthjustice, Endangered Species Coalition, Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club.

“With today’s proposal, the federal government walks away from wolf recovery before the job is done,” Earthjustice attorney Doug Honnold said in a news release Friday. “The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is charged with ensuring the survival of species and today’s announced proposal is a huge step in the opposite direction.“ The Service’s review determined that the current listing for gray wolf, which was developed 35 years ago, erroneously included large geographical areas outside the species’ historical range.

In addition, the review found that the current gray wolf listing did not reasonably represent the range of the only remaining of the Mexican wolf population in the Southwest.

USFWS is proposing to main-

tain protection and expand recovery efforts for the Mexican wolf in the Southwest, where the animal remains endangered.

Gray wolves were extirpated from most of the Lower 48 states by the middle of the 20th century, with the exception of northern Minnesota and Isle Royale in Michigan. Subsequently, wolves from Canada occasionally dispersed south and successfully began recolonizing northwest Montana in 1986.

In 1995 and 1996, 66 wolves from southwestern Canada were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho.

In 2002 the Northern Rocky Mountain population exceeded the minimum recovery goals of 300 wolves for a third straight year, and they were successfully delisted in the Northern Rocky Mountains in 2012 and Western Great Lakes in 2011. Today, there are at least 6,100 gray wolves in the contiguous United States, with a current estimate of 1,674 in the Northern Rocky Mountains and 4,432 in the Western Great Lakes.

IONE – Down River Days weekend is July 27 and 28, and planning for the big event is underway.

The Selkirk Trailblazers ATV club is holding meetings every Thursday at Ken’s Bar and Grill.

Vendors looking for information can contact Kathy Mondich at kmondich@hotmail.com, 509675-3307 or 509-442-3435.

Work continues on Diamond Lake level DIAMOND LAKE – Volunteers were working up to their wastes in some areas last weekend keeping an outlet channel open near North Shore Road. So far the outlet clearing and a drier spring has lowered the lake level to what residents describe as more normal levels than the past few years.

The culvert on North Shore Road has about another foot to go before it is dry and no more water will flow out of the lake, according to volunteers.

At that time it will still be a foot and a half higher than the lowest levels recorded in the 1960s. After that evaporation will be the main reason the lake level would continue to drop.

Priest River grapples with how to handle wastewater New storage option needed in two to three weeks

The Texas pilot walked away uninjured from a crash landing of this plane Sunday, June 11, at Cavanaugh Bay Airstrip in Coolin. The plane apparently broke a wing in the landing.

PRIEST LAKE – A Texas pilot, couldn’t stop the small plane he was trying to land at the Cavanaugh Bay Airstrip in Coolin Sunday, June 16, about 6 p.m.

Joseph Burch was unable to stop at the south end of the run-

He was applying the brakes and the aircraft was sliding across the grass, before it came to a rest across Eastshore Road in

Mayor Jim Martin noted that the fees are needed to keep up the city’s infrastructure.

“The city can’t discount those fees because we have bills to pay,” he said at the May 6 meeting.

“If developers develop and it causes and undue burden on our system, the existing customers should not pay for it,” he added.

The council is leaning toward suspending the portion of the fee for parks, which costs developers $1,677 per residential unit when they apply for a building permit. Gregory said their studies show the city has enough parks to support more

than 4,000 people. The population at the time the plan was created was 2,371 people.

They feel new development still has impacts to law enforcement services and roads, and councilman Jeff Connolly suggested leaving those fees intact. That’s $117 for police, and $349 for streets. Fees for non-residential projects are different.

The council has also discussed water hook up surcharges and a facility fee for sewer.

The revenue the city collects from the fee goes to specific interest baring accounts in the capital projects fund.

Highway 2 to be paved through Priest River PRIEST RIVER – The Idaho Department of Transportation is planning a paving project on Highway 2 through Priest River. Work is planned for the second week of July tentatively.

The road will get an overlay between Osprey Lane and Bodie Canyon Road.

The city of Priest River is planning some street work of its own. Work on Cemetery Road will begin once the dry well is installed. The city is waiting for the permits.

The city received a grant to

redo High Street and reconfigure the entrance to Highway 2. Also along High Street, crews will be rebuilding the retaining wall at the park parking lot, starting Wednesday, June 19. It will be done before the weekend.

At Monday’s meeting, Councilwoman Peggy George asked about the pot holes on Fifth and Sixth streets. The city plans to fill those with rock or pave and put the project in the budget for larger scale repairs next year.

Bonner County courthouse ready to open SANDPOINT – After a lengthy upgrade project, the Bonner County Courthouse is set to re-open with a grand opening event Friday, June 21, at noon.

The county commissioners will be on hand for the dedication, and there will be

presentation of flags and a brief history of the remodel project.

The $6.5 million project was completed once the commissioners approved a $600,000 loan for the renovation. The county has 10 years to repay the 2.85 percent interest loan.

Bonner County clerk filing reopened SANDPOINT – Bonner County Democrats are looking for another candidate to fill the county clerk position being opened up by the retirement of Marie Scott.

The Democrats thought they had three qualified nominees but one dropped out. Terry Stevens withdrew his nomination. The reason was not publicly disclosed.

The party needs to submit three names to the Bonner County Commission, who will make the appointment.

Jason Benell and Steve John-

son are two candidates the Democrats will forward to the commissioners. Commissioners have until 15 days after Scott’s last day at work July 1 to make the appointment.

Party chairwoman Laura Bry said she was confident the party would come up with another qualified candidate. Candidates must be a Democrat and be registered to vote in Bonner County.

If you are interested in applying, contact Bry at 208290-5261.

Priest River licensing offices close for training PRIEST RIVER – Residents in Sandpoint and Priest River will not be able to get a driver license renewal, ask questions or get service on Tuesday, June 25 from noon to 5

p.m. because the offices will be closed.

The office closure is due to training. The offices will resume their normal schedule on Wednesday.

At Monday’s meeting, the council also discussed the backwash basin area of the original water treatment plant, and how the city would clean out the pits from that discharge. One option is slowly discharging the backwash into the ponds, another involves getting a permit to discharge it to the storm sewer. Mayor Jim Martin said the backwash would probably need to be pumped out in the long term, but the city needs to find a short-term solution and get a cost for excavating the area.

The council heard a report on updating its water meters using the $92,000 that’s remaining from its USDA grant. The council would like to move the meters that are located inside people’s houses, but there is not enough money for that. The council will revisit the issue once there are better cost estimates available.

NEWPORT – The Newport Rodeo will have more than 200 competitors this year, with several defending ProWest champions scheduled to appear – both four legged and two legged champions.

“We will have Special Date, the Pro West Saddle Bronc of the Year,” said Mark McMillan of LaytonMcMillan, the rodeo stock contractors. They will also bring the 2012 Pro-West Bucking Bull of the Year, Mo Bandy.

Barrel racing drew the most entries, with 50 women entered, including Amy and Sarah Zwarg of Newport. Amy will run in the slack Saturday morning and Sarah will run during the Saturday performance.

When there are too many contestants to comfortably run in the rodeo performance, the overflow goes to the slack, which will take place at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Two local bull riders are among the 19 bull riders entered. Jesse Kardos of Newport will be out Friday night and Thor Hoefer of Priest River will ride Saturday.

Another Newport cowboy, Jon Vermedahl, is set to compete in the team roping Saturday. The team roping drew 36 entries, the second

most of any event.

The tie down roping drew 31 contestants, including Newport’s Chris Jones, who will rope in the slack Saturday.

There are 17 steer wrestlers entered, including former National Finals Rodeo qualifier and 1987 PRCA Rookie of the Year Tony Currin of Dayton, Wash.

There are a dozen saddle bronc riders entered, including Kaila Mussell of Chilliwack, B.C. Mussell, who won the bronc riding at Newport two years ago, is one of the only women bronc riders in the world who compete with the men.

In the bareback riding, there will be six competitors, including last year’s Pro-West champion Orlun McGuffin of Ellensburg.

This year’s rodeo will have a new event, ranch bronc riding. In this event, riders attempt to ride a bucking horse.

But unlike rodeo saddle bronc riding, riders can hold on with two hands and use a regular saddle. It is a wild and western event that will be featured during the Justin Kelly Memorial Rough Stock Invitational, set for Sept. 14 in Newport.

Grant makes garden possible at Priest Lake PRIEST LAKE – “Dig into Reading at your Library” is this year’s Summer Reading Program theme, which is a perfect fit to have the children dig into learning about organic gardening and how important it is for their health and as a food source.

Priest Lake Cub Scout Pack No. 612 helped out by building a raised garden for the library recently.

The Summer Reading Program at Priest Lake Public Library begins Thursday, June 20 and will continue for eight sessions.

This program is open to the public for children ages’ kindergarten through sixth grade. Activities include crafts, games, guest speakers and of course planting vegetables and flowers in the new organic raised garden. The library provides reading incentive prizes, snacks and free books throughout the program.

The Priest Lake Public Library is one of 59 schools and libraries across 29 states that were awarded an Ezra Jack Keats mini-grant to build the organic raised garden as part of the Summer Reading

Program.

To receive the award, educators applied for funding for specific programs that foster creative expression, working together and interacting with a diverse community.

The Cub Scouts had to unload many bags of gardening soil, dig holes and do a lot of hammering.

When asked why they volunteered to help, they commented: “We’re making more nature,” “I like helping the community look nice” and “I like doing man work.”

“We are a new Cub Scout Pack and we are very excited to do things in the community,” Cub Scout Den Leader Samantha Davis, said. “It is fun for me as a den leader to watch them build something from scratch.”

The Cub Scouts also picked up litter recently at Priest Lake.

O B I T UA R I E S

James H. Horgdal Jr. Billings, Mont.

Mr. Horgdal was born Jan. 14, 1951, Horgdal to James H. Horgdal Sr. and Iris Corrienne Horgdal in Centralia, Wash.

to anyone in need which led to a long list of lifetime friends. He always enjoyed taking his family and friends camping and riding his dirt bike around in the mountains of Montana.

Queen Savana welcomes all to the Newport Rodeo

BY JANELLE ATYEO

Newport Rodeo Queen Savana Lindell will be working double time at the rodeo this year. She’ll be there for her ceremonial queen duties, carrying the flag and riding in the parade, but she’ll also compete in the barrel racing.

Lindell, 19, started barrel racing last year. She’s won some money, but no buckles yet, she

said.

She’ll be riding her horse Friday. He’s a 12-year-old black registered quarter horse that she’s had for two years.

Lindell was crowned the 2013 Newport Rodeo Queen in March, taking on the duties from 2012 Queen Shyann Otte. So far, she has represented her local rodeo at the Grand Coulee ProWest Rodeo and parade in early May and

the 75th annual Spokane Lilac Festival parade May 18.

“It’s a lot of fun,” she said.

“You meet a lot of nice people.”

Lindell is the daughter of Kim Lindell and Jack Lindell. She is a 2012 graduate of Newport High School and is currently enrolled at the Newport branch of the Spokane Community College.

She works at the Union Street Perk coffee shop.

Grand Marshalls experienced equestrians When a reporter called David and Susan Melbourn for this story, they were in Oklahoma attending a horse show.

“We left Oklahoma City about 2:30 p.m. and at 6:30 p.m., the tornado came through,” Dave Melbourn said two weeks ago.

“They ended up cancelling the show.”

The Melbourns have been supporters of the Newport Rodeo since they moved here in 1990 from San Diego. They own Albeni Falls Building Supply.

“We have friends who built a home here,” remembers Dave.

Their friend encouraged them to come to Idaho to see the area. “We fell in love with it,” he said.

They bought Albeni Falls

Building Supply in Oldtown and moved to the area.

Today they make their home on 177 acres off Peninsula Road in Priest River, along with more than 30 registered quarter horses.

“My wife has been around horses all her life,” says David.

Now he is involved with horses also.

In 2010, he won fifth place at the American Quarter Horse Association World Finals in Oklahoma City with one of their young horses. A couple years before, he and Susan both placed in the top 10 at the Select World Finals, held in Amarillo, Texas.

“We show for confirmation,” David said. Neither he nor

Susan ride much these days, instead leading their horses when showing.

“Sort of like the Westminster Dog Show,” he jokes.

He has had many good times during the Newport Rodeo, but one time is memorable.

“I remember one time the wife was out of town and Curt Knapp and I had too much fun at the beer garden,” he says.

“That was a long time ago. We were a lot younger then.”

David was born in Brookings, S.D. and saw his share of rodeos growing up. He has always appreciated what a rodeo does for a community.

“It’s our big event for the year,” David says. “It’s worthy of our support.”

You’ll see Newport Rodeo Queen Savana Lindell – being crowned here by 2012 queen Shyann Otte – carrying the flag during the Grand Entry and riding in the rodeo parade. But when the barrel racing starts, you’ll see her put on her game face and make a run on her 12-year-old registered quarter horse named Friday, competing against some of the best in the Northwest.

More than just the rodeo in Newport this weekend Music, carnival, beer garden all make for festive time

BY DON GRONNING

The main attraction in Newport June 21-22 is the rodeo, no doubt about it. For 64 years, there has been a rodeo in Newport, with some of the top riders and ropers in the northwest competing for money, points and trophy buckles in the Newport arena. Volunteers from the Newport Rodeo Association make sure it happens.

The rodeo will get underway at 7:30 p.m. both nights, with contestants competing for almost $8,000 in added prize money and the prestigious Newport Rodeo trophy buckles. Buy a program. It helps support the rodeo and has the schedule and contestant list as well as information on how to score.

This year’s rodeo will have an extra event – the ranch bronc riding, a special contest in which working cowboys try to ride a bucking horse with a regular saddle.

But rodeo week really started Monday, when musicians started coming and playing music at the campgrounds behind the rodeo grounds.

Throughout the week, acous-

tic bluegrass and country music will be heard in the camp, as musicians get together and play.

People are invited to come and listen or bring their guitar or banjo and join in. Rodeo Pickin,’ as the event has come to be known, is free.

The Old Fashioned Carnival opens at 5 p.m. Friday at the rodeo grounds, with a variety of family friendly games and contests, as well as food.

For adults, there will be a beer garden located in the uncovered stands near the entrance. The Newport-Priest River Rotary Club organizes the carnival, vendors and the beer garden.

If you are feeling lucky, stop in at the Soroptimists’ 50-50 Bingo sessions. Bingo will be located near the entrance where the vendors are located. Players can buy one card for $1 or six cards for $5. Half the entry fee will go to support the Soroptimists and half will be paid out to the winner. Bingo will take place from 5:30 p.m. Friday to about 8 or 9 p.m. Saturday Bingo will get underway at 5:30 p.m. and also go to about 8 or 9 p.m.

Saturday’s activities get underway at 7:30 a.m. with the Cowboy Breakfast at Newport City Park, hosted by the Eagles

Auxiliary.

The Rodeo Parade will start at 11 a.m. This year the parade route will be a little different because of road construction. It will still go down First Street to North Calispel Street, to Spruce Street, to Washington Avenue.

But instead of turning up Fourth Street, the parade will go up First Street. It will still end up at Newport High School.

The Grand Marshalls for the parade are David and Susan Melbourn, owners of Albeni Falls Building Supply.

The Old Fashioned Carnival will start at 2 p.m. Saturday and continue until the rodeo performance concludes. The carnival activities are sponsored by community groups and procedes go to benefit their activities.

The Newport Rodeo Association President is Ray Hanson. He and a large group of volunteers have been working for months to produce this years event. The community appreciates their work.

If you are in Newport for the rodeo, make sure you get the full experience, with music, carnival games, a parade, the special events at area businesses advertising in this issue and, of course, the Newport Rodeo.

The Newport Rodeo will have a new event- ranch bronc riding. In ranch bronc riding, riders use a regular saddle and can hold on with two hands. The event attracts working cowboys as well as rodeo cowboys. This picture was taken at a Western States Ranch Rodeo Association sanctioned ranch bronc riding at Jordan Valley, Ore., last year.

‘Adrenalin junkie’ risks injury to keep riders safe

BY DON GRONNING

NEWPORT - Brett Summers, 30, plays an important role during the most dangerous event of rodeo, the bull riding. Summers puts himself between a charging bull and a fallen rider to distract the animal. The second or two that Summers buys the rider can make the difference between the rider getting up and on the fence or taking a hooking from an enraged bull.

“Some bull riders call me crazy,” Summers laughs. But they wouldn’t ride without him.

Summers has ridden bulls himself, in fact that is how he got his start in rodeo.

“I rode for years,” he says.

“Then one day at the practice pen, the stock contractor asked me if I was interested in working

rodeos.”

He put away his bull rope and got out his cleats. He was now a bullfighter.

Bull riders can get injured, but they usually only get on one bull a performance. Summers will face a dozen or more, with that many more chances of injury.

There are bull fighters and rodeo clowns. The bull fighter is a fairly modern development.

He is there for one thing - for the rider’s safety. The clown is an entertainer who uses humor.

“I’m not very funny,” Summers says. What he does instead, though, can mean the difference between a rider suffering a serious injury or not. Sometimes it is at a cost of his own health.

Summers has had his share of injuries.

“I took a good shot about five years ago,” he said. A bull threw

him into the air and he came down on his back.

He got up and finished working the show, thinking he had a

sore muscle.

“It turned out I had a cracked vertebrae,” he said.

At Sandpoint one year a bull kicked him, shattering bones in his hand and wrist. He finished the season working rodeos with a cast.

Summers, the 2009 Pro West Bullfighter of the Year, doesn’t work as many rodeos as he once did.

“I’ve slowed down a bit,” Summers says. “I used to do about 30 shows a year. Now I do about 10.”

Summers, who makes his home in Spokane, doesn’t like to travel, preferring to work events close to home.

Summers has a day job working a a construction foreman.

So does Summers miss riding bulls?

“I got a bug and entered the PBR event in Spokane,” he said, referring to the Professional Bull Riders association.

He drew a bull that was ridden

by Shane Proctor, the world champion bull rider, who won the event.

“I did all right,” Summers says, making a solid attempt at the bull but not staying on the eight seconds required to get a score.

“I guess I rode him about halfway,” he says, not bad considering he hadn’t been on a bull in years.

Which does he like better, bull riding or bull fighting?

“They each have their own danger,” Summers says. “But I prefer bull fighting. I’m more of an adrenalin junkie.”

Fighting bulls American style involves running just in front of the animal, turning at the last second to avoid getting hooked.

Bulls can’t run in a circle as fast as humans, which is one of the keys to fighting bulls.

Not all bulls are equally dangerous, but they all have the potential to cause injury.

“You have to have respect for the animal,” Summers says.

“Each one is a little bit different.”

So, is running in front of a charging bull scary?

“I wouldn’t call it scary,” Summers says. “But it will definitely get your adrenalin going.”

Ranch bronc riding will be previewed at rodeo The Newport Rodeo will have a new event, ranch bronc riding at this year’s rodeo. In this event a cowboy tries to ride a bronc. But instead of the specialized bronc saddle use in regular rodeo bronc riding, cowboys will use their regular stock saddle to ride.

The contestants aren’t saddle bronc specialists, many are working cowboys.

The rules are pretty simple – ride a bucking horse for eight seconds. Unlike saddle bronc riding, contestants can hold on with two hands and don’t have to mark the horse out of the chute. The ride is scored similar to regular bronc riding.

The ranch bronc riding will be one of the events at the Justin Kelly Memorial Rough Stock Invitational, set for Sept. 14 in Newport.

For rough stock fans, this will be the event to attend. Bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding and ranch saddle bronc are all featured, with no timed events.

While bull riding has been popular with fans for years, the ranch bronc riding event is sweeping the west, popular with riders and fans alike.

Check it out at the rodeo and return in September for the Justin Kelly Memorial Rough Stock Invitational.

What is a cowboy hat?

For working cowboys and cowgirls, cowboy hats provide shade and protection from the elements. But they are also an American icon, valued for their style. Matthew Range, head of marketing for Hatco, the company that owns Resistol and Stetson hats, provides some advice on hats.

The next thing to decide is the color. “Try on a variety of colors,” says Range. “Some colors look better on some people than

Felt or straw?

One of the first questions a hat buyer needs to answer is felt or straw. In hot weather, straw hats are lighter and more airy, although they don’t survive getting stepped on as well as felt hats.

Straw cowboy hats are also cheaper, priced from about $20$100. Straw is a bit of a misnomer. Most straw cowboy hats are made of shantung, a high performance paper that is rolled into a yarn by hand in China.

Cost “Think about what you want to spend,” says Range. As with most things, as the quality goes up, so does the price. With felt hats, wool felt hats are at the cheaper end of the spectrum, selling for about $60.

Wool-fur blends are the next step, with fur blends making up the top end of the felt hat market. Range says Hatco offers a 1,000 X Stetson made of a beaver, chinchilla blend that sells for $5,000.

You can get a nice rabbit-beaver blend for about $180, he says.

Color

silver belly, palomino, mist grey and silver grey.

Fit “The best way to get the right fit is to try on different sizes,” says Range. He says if you can’t try on different sized hats, you can measure your head with a measuring tape. You measure about an inch above the eyebrow and go round the biggest part of the head.

Then divide the measurement by pi (.314) or see the chart.

Most men are 7-7 3/8 and most women fall into the 6 3/4 - 7 1/8 size, he says.

Head shape also figures into hat fitting, which is another reason to try on the hat first. Most heads are oval but how oval varies. Some heads are not oval, says Range.

bands.

Style Brims and crowns are what distinguish Western hats from other hats. Most Western hats have 4-inch brims, 4.25 inches if the brim has a bound edge.

“We’ve noticed brims getting slightly bigger,” says Range.

“Our biggest is 5 inches.”

The most popular crown is 4 5/8s inches. Open crowns are coming back into style, says Range. With an open or nonshaped crown, you can crease it however you want.

Hat ettiquette

BY LONGFELLOW DEEDS WWW.THELASTBESTWEST.COM

No other piece of clothing carries such a complicated set of rules involving its wear. Here are sometraditional rules for wearing a cowboy hat — and some we think are just good manners.

• Any hat should be removed when eating anywhere, that includes baseball caps!

• Any hat should be removed when the national anthem of any country is played. Hold your hat in your right hand, over your heart. This applies to women, unless their hat is held on with hatpins.

• Cowboys tip their hats to ladies when outdoors, remove them when being introduced, and remove them when entering a lady’s home.

• Men never tipped their hats to other men in the Old West. It was akin to calling them a woman.

A nod was a common greeting when not shaking hands. The Code of the West In commercial or public buildings it’s not necessary to remove your hat — but should be when entering a private office. Generally considered polite to remove it in a private home, unless other people are wearing their hat.

• Wearing a (cowboy) hat to a theatre or movie is fine but should be removed if it blocks anyone’s view of the entertainment.
