Newport Rodeo, 70 years and counting

Volume 117, Number 21 | 3 Sections, 30 Pages $1.00

By don GronnInG of the MiNer

NEWPORT – Time to break out the cowboy hats and boots, the Newport Rodeo is in town, with a carnival, rodeo parade, rodeo dance and of course, the rodeo.

This year is a milestone for the event, as it celebrates 70 years in Pend Oreille County.

“Obviously, without community support, it wouldn’t be going as long as it has,” Newport Rodeo Association President Ray Hanson said. “We intend to keep it going as long as there is interest, hopefully at least another 70 years.”

The rodeo started in about 1935, with a group known as the Hootowl Gang putting on cowboy events in the Cusick area. The Pend Oreille Rodeo Association started in 1949 and a rodeo has taken place every year

The Newport Rodeo has been consistently known for top stock and big saturday night crowds.

Here a bronc throws a British Columbia cowboy in front of a full house at the 1989 rodeo.

NEWPORT – It takes quite a bit of volunteer work to put on the Newport Rodeo each year and this year was no exception.

“We’ve been out here since April,” Newport Rodeo Association President Ray Hanson said. Crews have been working a couple nights a week until last week, when they added another day to their schedule. This week work crews will be out at the rodeo grounds every day as they get ready for thousands of spectators.

Anti-harassment order denied

naylor steps down as CAnSS leader By don GronnInG of the MiNer

NEWPORT – More than two weeks after hearing the case, a judge ruled that Pend Oreille County Planning Commission Chair Norris Boyd was not entitled to the anti-harassment protection order he sought against Citizens Against the Newport Silicon Smelter (CANSS) chairman Michael Naylor. The judge blasted Naylor for his actions in calling the Washington State Patrol and the Newport Police

Department to report Boyd and Pend Oreille County commissioner Mike Manus for possible drunk driving.

“Naylor is lucky to have not been charged with a crime based on the allegations here,” Judge Eric J. Dooyema wrote in his ruling. Dooyema was serving as Pend Oreille County District Court Judge Pro-Tem to hear the case.

Dooyema wrote the whole situation was political.

“The Court agrees with the WSP, (WSP Trooper Kyle) Witt and (Newport Police Chief Mark) Duxbury that this situation is politically motivated. This includes the filing of this petition,” Dooy-

ema wrote. “Protection orders are meant to be a shield and not a sword.”

Neither Manus nor Boyd drank alcohol when they had lunch at Kelly’s Bar and Grill in Newport last February when Naylor, tipped off by others, came down and observed them and called law enforcement.

Boyd has asked for an antiharassment protection order.

During the May 28 hearing on the protection order, he said he has never been accused of drinking and driving and that such an accusation could affect his business as a developer.

teering for the rodeo for decades.

“We built the chute gates in dad’s shop,” says Joe Ockert, referring to his dad, Carl Pitts. That was in 1980. “The first thing we built was the chute gates.”

Except for three years when he lived out of the area, he has volunteered every year since.

Jay Saunders has been volunteering for seven or eight years. He volunteers at the rodeo grounds after he finishes his shift as a Fed Ex driver.

“I’ve always liked livestock,” he says. But he’s never been tempted

to ride.

Many of the volunteers are friends of Hanson.

Dusty Cristwell is one of Hanson’s friends. He comes to work at 3 a.m., after his job as a log truck driver.

“I do it because I’m a friend of Ray’s,” he said.

Many volunteers have a family connection to the rodeo.

Jeremy Emslander has volunteered for years.

His grandfather, Ray Baumgardner got him involved.

“For years I worked the calf chutes,” he said, operating the gate to let the See WORKeRs, 2A

Street vacations delayed By don GronnInG of the MiNer

NEWPORT – The city of Newport doesn’t get requests to vacate streets very often but at Monday night’s city council meeting, two hearings were held for four proposed street vacations. Both hearings were continued to the next meeting.

“These are pretty rare,” city attorney Tom Metzger said of the street vacations. He said the city usually wants some compensation for the vacations.

The council denied one of the vacations proposed by Aluvus Co., for the unused alley between Fourth Street and State Avenue, near Concept Cable.

CounCIl: Council members wanted more information

from PAGe 1A

Newport city administrator Russ Pelleberg recommended denying the vacation.

“It doesn’t make much sense to me,” he said.

He thought the owners wanted to build on the land but since a city water line runs underneath it, building is not permitted. The council voted unanimously to deny the vacation.

The council wanted more information on another vacation proposed by Aluvus Co. for a portion of Warren Avenue and West Walnut Street, next to Highway 20. Pelleberg said Aluvus wanted to combine that with another property to have a property big

enough to build on.

Everett Alford owns a house near there. He came to the council meeting to voice his concerns. He said if the vacation were granted, he thought it would lower his property’s value, since it would limit his access to the home.

The way street vacations work is the city would no longer own the street and it would be divided between adjacent landowners, in this case Alford and Aluvus Co. each would have to pay the city for the property.

Pelleberg said Aluvus wasn’t in a hurry to do this, so the council continued the hearing until the next council meeting.

No decision was made.

In the second hearing

over street vacations, the council considered two requests from New Health Programs Association to vacate part of Spokane Street and a portion of North Spokane Avenue, near the laundromat. New Health Programs wants to build a medical clinic there.

Councilmember Mark Zorica balked at the way the vacation was presented. He said he was having a hard time understanding the black and white handouts. He asked why it wasn’t being put up on the town’s new television screen, so everyone could see what was being talked about.

“I feel like we’re rushing this through,” he said. He said he wants to be able to explain it when

asked by citizens.

Zorica wanted to continue the hearing until the next council meeting so he could get more information. Councilmember Nancy Thompson agreed.

Councilmember Brad Hein said it would be nice if the applicant came to the council meeting so they could answer any questions the council had.

Pelleberg said the applicant wasn’t from the area, but they could be asked to attend. He said he wanted the city to be more business friendly for people. He said he really didn’t want to delay a decision over a black and white map.

Zorica asked if the Mi Pueblo restaurant had

been notified about the vacation.

“If we’re going to be business friendly to a new business, we have to be business friendly to an existing business,” he said, adding that he trusts Pelleberg’s judgment “100 percent.”

The council continued the hearing until July 1, the next council meeting.

In other city business, the council agreed to another three-year contract with Barrtech to haul the city’s sewage sludge, known as biosolids.

The company will be paid $70.14 per wet ton, about a $5 a ton increase over the previous contract.

The city spend about $3,400 a month to have the biosolids hauled.

AntI-HArAssment: Ruling handed down Thursday, June 13 from PAGe 1A

Dooyema ruled that Boyd’s concerns about damage to his reputation were rightfully placed, based on the allegations.

“However, protection orders are not intended to protect reputations,” Dooyema wrote in his ruling denying the protection order. “If Boyd believes his reputation has been damaged by Naylor, there are other potential remedies.”

Dooyema said the case was unusual.

“This is an unusual case because the allegations by Boyd do not involve any contact between him and Naylor,” the judge wrote.

Dooyema wrote that the calls to the WSP and Newport PD are concerning.

“Naylor absolutely insinuated Boyd may have been drinking at lunch on February 18, but seemingly was careful not to say too much,” Dooyema wrote. “Generally, telling lies about someone is not unlawful harassment. The exception to this is if those lies cause some harm to the target of the lies.”

There was nothing on the record to support a claim that Boyd had suffered actual substantial emotional distress, he wrote, or that anyone in Boyd’s shoes in a similar situation would have suffered substantial emotional distress.

Dooyema said Naylor’s surveillance of Boyd and Manus was what he found most significant.

“It is clear that Manus was the target of the surveillance,” he wrote. “Boyd was an incidental

victim of the surveillance. An incidental victim not the target of harassment does not require protection from further unwanted conduct.”

The ruling was handed down Thursday, June 13. Within a short time that day Naylor posted on the CANSS Facebook group page that, as a result of the ruling, he was stepping down as chairman of CANNS and would no longer administrate its Facebook group.

He said he was shocked and “totally disgusted” by Dooyema’s ruling.

“I have put myself out there for our community for three years now,” he wrote. “I have been slandered, threatened and lied about. I was even dragged into court for reporting what I thought to be a possible DUI.”

He wrote there is only so much one person can take.

“I have now reached my limit!” he wrote.

Boyd said he was disappointed the protection order wasn’t granted.

“But I think the judge made it clear the Naylor’s actions were inappropriate,” Boyd said.

According to a post on the CANSS Facebook group page, Mike Rodden has been sworn in as the new CANSS chairman with Debbie Barker taking the Vice Chairman position. Colleen Dalebout will continue as CANSS secretary/treasurer. Rick Hall has joined the board and Denise Teeples and Gretchen Koenig will continue their positions on the board. All CANSS business will continue as usual, according to the post.

rodeo: Friday is military and emergency services night from PAGe 1A

since. The first few years it was held in Cusick before moving to Newport.

This year’s action will get underway Thursday, June 20, with the carnival open for business.

The rodeo itself will take place Friday and Saturday, with performances starting at 7:30 p.m.

The Rodeo Parade, which starts at 11 a.m.

Saturday, is back to its old route after last year’s detour because of the Highway 41 bridge work. Since the bridge is open to one lane traffic this year, the parade will resume its usual route, starting at the high school and going down First Street to North Calispel Street, then to Spruce Street, then along Washington Avenue downtown to Fourth Street. The parade will wind up at Newport High School.

The rodeo association is still taking applications for parade entries. Visit newportrodeo.weebly. com.

The rodeo Grand Marshalls for this year’s rodeo are all the past royalty.

The outdoor rodeo

dance returns for the third year, with music by the Last Chance Band.

It will start immediately after the rodeo near the beer garden Saturday and continue until 1 a.m.

Friday will be Military Night at the rodeo, with $10 tickets at the gate for military, firefighters, law enforcement and EMTs who show proper identification.

Adult tickets are available for $12 in advance, $15 at the gate. Advance tickets for children 5-11 cost $6 and children under 5 are admitted free.

This year’s rodeo will again feature ranch bronc riding and the standard rodeo events, with contestants from throughout the Northwest and Canada competing for about $10,000 in added prize money, along with the prestigious Newport Rodeo trophy buckles.

(See rodeo sports story page B1).

Along with the rodeo competition, rodeo clown Clint “Wolfie” Sylvester, will entertain between events. This year there will be a new event for local entries – the Donkey Relay Race, pretty much what it sounds like, a relay race on donkeys.

Also for local participants, there is the crowdpleasing calf panty pull contest, in which teams compete to see who can be the fastest to put pantyhose on a calf. Call rodeo president Ray Hanson at 360-770-1180 to participate.

While the carnival starts Thursday, rodeo weekend really gets underway Friday night, June 22, starting at 4 p.m., with commercial and craft vendors, family fun and a beer garden in the rodeo grounds.

Rodeo starts at 7:30 p.m. both Friday and Saturday night. The beer garden is inside the rodeo arena, and will offer beer and spirits.

Saturday kicks off with a Cowboy Breakfast at 8 a.m. at the rodeo grounds.

As the parade winds down past Newport City Park around noon, the fourth annual Festivities in the Park will be well underway. Sponsored by the Newport/Priest River Rotary Club and Kalispel Tribe, there will be a variety of free games for kids, including a flamingo ring toss, bean bag toss, paper airplane making and a water gun playzone, sidewalk chalk

for people to create colorful sidewalk art, bungee trampoline rides and a photo booth, all provided for free thanks to the Kalispel Tribe.

The ever-popular Chicken Poop Bingo returns with a 50/50 cash prize to the winner.

Spots on the board are $2 a piece. There will also be a beer and wine garden sponsored by the Newport/Priest River Rotary Club. There will be brews from Top Frog Brewery and a variety of domestic and import beverages.

“Bringing all the families of our community and those surrounding us together to enjoy music, play games and have a beer is so very rewarding,” says Micki Brass, organizer of Festivities in the Park and Newport/ Priest River Rotary Club member. “We are looking so forward to this Saturday at Festivities in The Park.”

To accompany Festivities in the Park, there are a variety of craft and non-profit vendors and live music will begin at 11:30 a.m., going until 5:30 p.m. Performers include Larry Sauer, Tommy Petrie and Trout Pond Sammy and Spawn. The headliner

will be the Raised in a Barn Band.

“With our dedicated Newport/Priest River Rotary Club members, and a huge thanks the Kalispel Tribe of Indians for their most generous contribution over the last four years of our event; we are honored to be able to play a part in having this wonderful tradition continue in our community,” says Brass.

Also during the weekend the water park will be open.

The Scenic Pend Oreille River Train Ride will have its first ride of the year Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. The 1 p.m. ride will be the only one offered those days.

Barrel racing fans will be able to watch a free competition at the rodeo arena Sunday, starting at 11 a.m., when the Inland Barrel Racing Association holds a competition.

This year’s rodeo queen is Emily Sprague. All past Newport Rodeo royalty will be honored as Grand Marshalls of the rodeo parade.

Rodeo tickets are available in advance at Seeber’s, Safeway, Family Foods, Owen’s, Selkirk Ace, and Priest River Ace Hardware.

WorKers: Quite a bit of work done on the grounds this year from PAGe 1A

calves out of the arena. “I never missed a Newport Rodeo, even when I was living in Spokane.”

Emslander met his wife at the rodeo. Well, at the carnival, actually.

“I met my wife, Tammy Fredrick in 1996,” he says. “She was riding the octopus at the carnival.”

Now Emslander is guiding another generation into working at the rodeo.

Zeriah Frederick, 12, now operates the calf out gate.

Sonya Hargrove is one of the few female volunteers. She was painting recently.

“I just picked up a brush to start painting,” she said. She wasn’t confident the men would attend to painting details properly.

This is her first year volunteering. Her husband, Rusty Hargrove, is a Newport Rodeo Association board member.

Hanson says the late John Sw-

enson was one of the first people he met when he moved here 15 years ago.

“John Swenson got me into the rodeo,” Hanson says. Swenson could be persuasive. Not that Hanson needed a lot of persuading. He comes from a rodeo family. Although he hasn’t competed, his uncle Wick Peth was one of greatest bullfighters and his other uncle Buzz Peth, was a top roper and bulldogger.

There has been quite a bit of work done on the rodeo

grounds this year, Hanson said.

There were a number of other improvements made to the grounds.

The city put in a new twoinch water line, complete with a small fire hydrant. That will help with watering the arena to keep dust down.

The rodeo association hired and electrician and brought the overhead lights and all the electrical wiring up to code.

“It was for public safety,” Hanson said. “It was all necessary.”

PUD plans to build downtown

by Don GronninG Of The Miner

NEWPORT – After looking around at a variety of locations around the county, the Pend Oreille PUD has decided to build a multi-phase construction project on Union Avenue in downtown Newport.

The PUD plans to spend about $2.3 million on the first phase, in which a mechanic’s building will be constructed.

“We’ll go out to bid in June,” PUD General Manager Colin Willenbrock said. He said about 95 percent of the design work is completed.

Willenbrock said the project will be paid for with money the PUD has set aside from the Pend Oreille Mine payments. “There is about $4 million in that fund.”

The next phase will be to add storage sheds. Future phases will depend on funding. Willenbrock said. “We won’t build without the funding in place,” he said.

The PUD started evaluating its facilities about three years ago. After exploring sites out of town, the PUD finally decided on the Union Avenue site,

which was determined to be the most cost-effective location for the operations headquarters.

The PUD began by purchasing the lots on the north and south ends of the current lot, eliminating an apartment house in the process.

The PUD hired Cortner Architectural Company to design the project, which is about 95 percent complete.

Willenbrock said the construction will likely start in the fall and will be completed in 2020.

In keeping with the city’s vision, the lot will be landscaped, surrounded with decorative black fencing and feature new signage, Willenbrock said.

“We have also contemplated adding vehicle charging stations near the facilities.”

The charging stations are pretty inexpensive, he said. The PUD will continue to work with the Washington State Department of Transportation to continue to improve crosswalks and signs in order to make a more pedestrian friendly downtown for both PUD employees who regularly cross the busy highway and the general public, which attend a variety of meetings and events held at the PUD building.

obituaries a testament to lives well lived Everyone deserves to be in the newspaper at least two times in their life: when they are born and when they die.

The obituary section of most any newspaper is often times the most read section, and for good reason.

Obituaries are miniature histories, a summation of the mark an individual left on the world. Lists of loved ones who survive them, the greatest legacy anyone can leave; hobbies they enjoyed; professions they excelled at; service to others from military careers to civic organization membership. These are the components that make up our lives.

Obituaries are a chance to honor those who have passed away, for survivors to tell the world: this person mattered and here is why. While a majority of people aren’t famous or “newsmakers,” every life is an interesting one and those stories deserve to be told. The Miner publishes interesting obituaries every week. They are a service to our readers, a marking of time and documenting of history. In the future, people will search for the obituaries that run today. Ancestors that have passed away are part of our own story while we’re living. They also serve a very pragmatic cause. When someone dies, an obituary shares that news with the community. They list service information and the manner in which the deceased wished to be remembered. Photographs enhance an obituary, putting a name with a face, so to speak. All of these reasons are why we do not charge a fee to run obituaries at The Miner, and why we won’t as long as the current powers that be are in charge. We encourage our readers to make a point of reading obituaries, whether you know the person or not. Our staff is consistently fascinated by the obituaries that grace the pages of The Miner, and we’re proud to be able to share the lives around us with you, our reader.

Mine certainly isn’t the last word on the subject, and what I am saying is likely common knowledge to many who don’t use social media. But I have to fill this column somehow, so let’s talk about what happens when you give the hashtags and status updates a rest.

Back to old-school scrolling: By that I mean I’m reading more, like I used to when I was a teenager, before MySpace and Facebook stretched out over our collective consciousness. New authors and past favorites have a more prominent place in my life again, like joining an inclusive club or visiting old friends.

And admittedly it’s been a hell of a lot more enriching than monitoring the squabbles in the comments section.

You don’t wonder where the time has gone: When you’re not worried about who is posting what or how to present yourself to a social media audience, you’re more cognizant of the here and now. Last Saturday I went on a date in Spokane and neither one of us were taking a gazillion pictures, trying to “capture” the perfect photo to convince social media spectators how much fun we were having. We were people watching, talking with one another, enjoying the show we were at and savoring the drinks we ordered.

Living in the moment is a lot easier when you aren’t distracted by the urgency to share said moment on social media.

My head hits the pillow and I’m out: My new rule is that all digital devices are off by 8:30 p.m. Instead of feeling that seemingly innate exigency that demands I scroll through Instagram or check The Miner’s Facebook one last time, the phone goes off and I write or read until I’m sleepy. The sleep that comes is usually deeper and longer than when I stay up watching TV, checking on emails, or hovering on social media.

News is digested better: Of course this is biased, considering my occupation, but being off of social sEE SoPhie, 1A

yo u r o P i n i o n north county libraries from group reading for the small children – story are outstanding too To the editor, I’d like to inform those in our county that Newport is not the only place that has an “outstanding library.” We live in Ione and have made our home here for 48 years. In one way or another we’ve all been to our libraries for one thing or another.

Ione Library is connected with colleges in Spokane and anyone who wants to further their education can sign up and take classes.

Most of all, anyone who needs help, from finding a home, book keeping (banking) – which I’ve seen for myself, my daughter, Kathleen, has helped people with, has been done in a fashion that has helped those who sought help with and they’re great fit for when they’ve had problems that they couldn’t solve. The programs she runs are outstanding –

time to special programs for the upcoming holidays, whichever they are.

Projects with all the bells and whistles, for the children to make crafts for their loved ones – be it grandparents, brothers and sisters, or whoever they want. They leave the library after getting books, crafts, even snacks or lunch, when school is not in session.

She also runs the Metaline Falls Library and the same goes for that library.

So to those who vote, make sure you keep our libraries open, we need them. It’s a good place to spend time and visit.

Give thought to preventing war To the editor, Two week’s ago, Pete Scobby’s addition to his long-time weekly publi-

cation of comment on the human condition was especially pointed and timely (‘D-Day vets didn’t think of themselves as heroes’ The Miner June 5).

If we accept Pete’s overriding interpretation of our (and world) history, the inevitability of a war of some sort/extent will be visiting our fragile republic once again.

Whether there is a just cause for war at this time and place should be judged by reference to our (and the world’s) predicament in the early 1940s when the so-called second World War say the first of the panzers in Europe and the bicycle armies (Japanese mostly) in Asia challenging our way of life, our government and our Americanism.

With the sorry state of affairs we presently are in, it would seem that “just cause” for war under the present circumstances would be deter-

mined by an inane tweet.

Tragic consequences would likely follow.

Perhaps each of us should give some thought to this developing situation and consider how each of us might act to stop this march to global violence and tragic killing fields.

hospital was great To the editor, In planning a minivacation last month it was fun to try to include friends and relatives.

One destination was Arizona, for dental care.

Then there was Virginia where my oldest niece lives. And maybe Clarkston, where my cousin Jerry lives. All comfortable places.

Recent hospitalization for a breathing problem decided it for me.

I got pampered, well sEE leTTerS, 5A

Family-owned business: Backbone of America During the 1992 presidential campaign, then-candidate Bill Clinton famously intoned, “I feel your pain,” reassuring voters he understood what they were going through. Since then, similar statements of G u e St empathy have o P i n i o n become a staple for politicians.

Don C. But it doesn’t BRUnEll always ring true for every conassoCiaTion stituent. of Take family WashingTon business owners, BUsinEss for example. pREsiDEnT Family businesses account for 50 percent of U.S. gross domestic product, generate 60 percent of

the country’s employment, and account for 78 percent of all new job creation, the Conway Center for Family-owned Business reports.

Most elected officials have no idea what it’s like to put their life savings on the line 12 to 16 hours a day, scrambling to make ends meet. Those families risk everything to meet payroll and invest in new equipment for state-of-the art facilities in spite of waves of new government regulations, taxes and fees.

One politician who got that firsthand experience was former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate George McGovern (D).

In a 1992 Wall Street Journal column, “A Politician’s Dream is a Businessman’s Nightmare,” McGovern described his experience running a Connecticut hotel and conference center. He ultimately went bankrupt, a failure

reADe r’S Poll The United States released video purporting to show Iranian sailors pulling a mine off the Japanese ship that was hit with an explosion last week.

Some American allies such as Japan and Germany, say they need more information to be sure Iran is responsible.

Should the U.S. be believed about the Iranians planting a mine?

Yes, it’s clear Iran is showing there is a price to be paid for U.S. sanctions. They are showing they can close the Strait of Hormuz if they want, cutting oil shipments.

No, some in the U.S. administration want to invade Iran.

All their information is suspect.

In this case, yes, Iran did plant mines. But not all U.S. info is trustworthy.

he attributed in large part to local, state and federal regulations that were passed with good intentions, but no understanding of how they burdened small business owners.

Deeply affected by his failure, McGovern became an advocate for regulatory reform and lawsuit reform, saying, “I…wish that during the years I was in public office, I had had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day.”

While politicians often tout their support for family-owned business, they are the least understood and most overlooked political constituency.

Family-owned businesses are America’s economic backbone.

According to the University of Vermont, there are 5.5 million family-owned businesses sEE brUNell, 5A

President didn’t cause the economy To the editor, Recent travels and reconnecting with old friends and coworkers has left me with a disturbing notion. No, it isn’t about getting older, but what people are assuming about the condition of our economy and country. It seems that people are incorrectly associating what is happening with who is our president.

Looking back at the presidents holding office in my lifetime I see a lot of significant events and occurrences. For example three of my four grandchildren were born when Obama was the president.

I could say that Obama gave me three wonderful grandchildren. Boy, I am happy he was the president and not a Republican.

Those grandchildren could have been born with all sorts of health and development issues. The fourth grandchild was born with Trump as president. We are closely monitoring that child to make sure she isn’t affected by having a Republican president.

Association is often misused as in “guilt by association.” Giving credit or blame to presidents falls into that kind of false association. Critical think-

ing requires us to filter information so that we don’t make false assumptions. We wouldn’t credit a bright sunny day to who is the president, but many of us see a relationship between the president and the price of gasoline or the stock market. The president doesn’t control the weather, the price of gasoline or the stock market.

We should have the ability to associate what the president is doing to what is happening. On the other hand, we Americans seem to be the most gullible people on the earth.

We are willing to believe almost anything a politician claims. It’s easy to take credit for events that are positive, but very hard to accept responsibility for events that have negative outcomes.

The next time a politician claims greatness ask yourself if that politician actually created the thing being described.

-Pete Scobby Newport

Vaccines problematic To the editor, I am writing regarding The Miner article, ‘Governor signs law strengthening MMR immunization requirements,’ May 15, 2019.

The title implies that the measles vaccine results in immunity, which it does not. The vaccine, which sheds live virus and can cause measles, is required at ages 15 months, 4 years and 10 years. If immunity were obtained, why repeat it? In recent outbreaks of measles, some media outlets have disclosed percentages of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated victims, revealing that 75 percent

of those who contract measles have been vaccinated. Rockwell, N.Y. is one example.

The article states that a vaccinated population protects the young. This is false. The only way the young can be protected is when immunity is passed to the child by its mother, if she has actually had the measles – often a mild disease ranging from 3 to 21 days. Deaths from measles in the U.S. are rare, with only 3 confirmed measles deaths since 2003.

Since 1986, when the federal government granted relief from liability to the pharmaceutical companies for adverse effects caused by the vaccines, there have been over 93,000 cases of adverse reactions to the MMR, documented by the federal Vaccine Adverse Side Effects Reporting System (VAERS). The vaccine causes seizures in one in 640 children. Fifty-four percent of today’s children have chronic diseases reported as possible adverse side effects on the vaccine package inserts, including asthma, diabetes and epilepsy. Mandating this vaccine will make the population neither safer nor healthier.

I would not be rejoicing that Big Pharma has succeeded in removing Fourth Amendment protections for Washington’s parents and day care workers from this dangerous vaccine. I hope counties will step forward and offer sanctuary status as they are against the new law violating Washingtonian’s Second Amendment rights.

in America. Nearly 60 percent of all family-owned businesses have women in top management.

More than 30 percent of all familyowned businesses survive into the second generation but only 12 percent will still be viable into the third generation.

One third generation Washington family thriving is Dick Hannah Dealerships in Vancouver. It started in 1949 when William Hannah opened a Studebaker dealership.

In 70 years the Hannah’s have taken calculated risks by expanding into multiple new and previously owned car and trucks dealerships in the Vancouver-Portland region. In addition, Dick Hannah added injection molding manufacturing of auto parts and auto body repairs.

With his son, Jason, and daughter, Jennifer, they just opened a multi-million dollar state-of-the art collision center in Vancouver. It is well-organized, clean, clutter free, efficient and customer friendly. All estimates, work and deliveries are handled inside the 80,000 sq. ft. facility.

For environmental and worker protection, it has advanced dust and fast-drying spray paint systems which treat water and air before leaving the

shop. There is a sophisticated vacuum system which collects dust which would normally end up on the floor.

The collision center is unique for its new ways of approaching repairs.

Vehicles are elevated waist high to avoid workers having crawl underneath. All of the services are contained within the shop avoiding time delays by sending autos off-site for steering alignment and windshield replacement.

Finally, before exiting the center, technicians restore vehicles to their pre-collision condition. They completely reinstate and calibrate the crash avoidance and in-car electronics.

Just as Hannah strives to completely satisfy customers so they will return, that is the hallmark of successful businesses. That’s one way small familyowned business compete with large corporations and their vast resources.

In the end, if customers feel valued and are treated right, they return. Those are values which entrepreneurs, not government, create but which elected officials can hamper if not understood. don c. brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. he retired as president oF the association oF washington business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in vancouver. he can be contacted at thebrunells@msn.com.

media means you don’t have to read the sometimes inane, judgmental crap people write in comment sections below a posted article. I read a slew of newspapers, which I don’t always agree with in terms of coverage and editorials, but if it grinds my gears that bad, I can always call said newspaper and/or write a letter to the editor.

Being aware of what’s going on in our world is important, but my energy

is no longer drained giving attention to keyboard warriors.

No more compare and despair: Again, if you have reasons to be on social media and can separate the fantasy from reality, much sincere kudos. For me, it became a gross cycle of envy and jealousy, or “compare and despair.” I would browse photographs of other people’s vacations, relationships, beautiful families or accomplishments and feel inadequate, like I was missing out and

somehow all these seemingly enlightened, happy folk had learned a secret I wasn’t privy to. There was a part of me that knew that wasn’t true, but I was constantly reinforcing the notion by going back to social media. Having that distance helps me remember that we all have our own circuses to master, our own monkeys to wrangle.

All prizes are made possible by donations from the Friends of the Pend Oreille County Library District.

Drawing slips will be available at all locations beginning June 24.

In addition to the reading program, each branch also boasts a wide variety of events that community members can participate in, including magic shows, a children’s singer-songwriter, a traveling planetarium, and much more. The numerous events are made possible by contributions from community sponsors.

As always, there is no cost to attend events at the library.

Additionally, in partnership with the Newport School District, the Newport Library will be a site for summer lunch from noon to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday beginning June 25. Children and teens up to age 18 are eligible for lunch at the library at no cost.

A full schedule of events and information on the reading program can be found online at www.pocld. org or by calling local branches at 800-366-3654.

PRIEST RIVER - Brooke Linsley and her husband Robert missed the kind of pizza they were used to in the small California town they came from, so they decided to open Vicki Rae’s pizza parlor in Priest River in May to share their kind of pizza with the rest of the community. The Linsley’s moved to Priest River three years ago to be closer to her mother, sister and brother. Linsley’s mother, Vicki Hollars of Priest

Lake, died in December of throat cancer.

“I named the restaurant after my mother,” Linsley said.

Linsley and her husband have three children.

Austin their youngest is 7 and loves to ride dirt bikes. Their 10-year-old son, Travis, loves to fish, and Abbey their 12-yearold daughter loves horses and will be helping out at the pizza parlor.

“She is doing well,” Linsley said. “She has already gotten some compliments on her service.”

Linsley plans on hiring

high school students to help out, and wants to provide a family environment. Her husband took out the bar and put in a soda fountain, and offers a side room that can be reserved for parties. Linsley makes her own crust and uses quality ingredients and sauces. The menu offers barbecue chicken pizza, pesto chicken pizza, Greek pizza, toppings like artichoke hearts, beer and wine, and can be found on the restaurant’s Facebook page.

“We want to expand the menu for more options, but I want to perfect what we have first,” Linsley said.

In the future, Linsley intends to fix the back porch and offer outdoor seating. She is playing with the idea of offering karaoke and live music on the weekends.

Vicki Rae’s is located at 45 Main St. in Priest River and the business hours are Monday – Thursday from 3 to 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 3 to 9 p.m. The hours will change when the construction on Main St. is finished and they build a clientele, Linsley says. Customers can park across the street next to the Beardmore Building and Vicki Rae’s also delivers.

“I am willing to come in before 3 p.m. to fill large orders for businesses and parties,” Linsley said.

Before opening Vicki Rae’s, Linsley worked as a certified nurse assistant at Newport Hospital and Health Services in longterm care. She is also a licensed hairdresser. Linsley’s husband helps out at the restaurant when he is not being a handy man and doing property maintenance.

The family likes to camp, fish and spend time at Priest Lake in their spare time.

Little Bird

Speak to me little bird!

What is it like to peck out of your shell?

To feel your wet feathers fluff as they dry?

To be in your nest-home with your siblings squawking all the time Your mother feeding you from her beak?

What does it feel like when it comes time to fly, To trust your wings and your calling?

What happens when you must find sustenance on your own When the wind blows hard, and the rain deluges?

What do you do?

Perhaps you have a lot to teach me, little bird.

I think I’ll start with hatching.

REWARD

NEWPORT – A traffic fatality near Bead Lake on Monday, June 17 resulted in a vehicular homicide charge, according to the Pend Oreille County Sheriff’s Office. Around 3:54 p.m. on Monday the sheriff’s office received a report of a one-vehicle collision on Bead Lake Road near mile marker 8. It was reported a Ford Expedition had rolled approximately 300-feet down an embankment. The vehicle had two occupants. The driver, Nelson J. Dunn, 24, of Spokane received minor injuries, while the passenger, Hannah E. Dunn, 23, of Spokane was pronounced deceased at the scene. Nelson Dunn was subsequently arrested for vehicular homicide.

Alcohol appears to have been a factor. The case is a joint investigation between the Washington State Patrol and Pend Oreille County Sheriff’s Office. Units that responded to the scene included Fire District No. 6, South Pend Oreille Fire and Rescue, Pend Oreille EMS, Kalispel Tribe Fire Department, U.S. Forest Service, and members from the high angle rescue team from the Pend Oreille Newsprint.

The investigation is ongoing.

Dunn was released from jail Tuesday morning on his own recognizance without a bond after his first appearance in court.

Local team takes top spots in drag racing by sophia aldous Of The Miner

SPOKANE – The Selkirk Mountain Race Team (SMRT) is off to a good start for the 2019 summer drag race season. The team, comprised of students from the Pend Oreille Valley area, competes on the weekends at Spokane County Raceway.

The latest racing results from SMRT coach RJ Nomee show that in last month, Newport student Celista Horton earned her license and competed in the new Junior Street category created for 13-16-year-olds.

In this category, racers can only go 1/8 of a mile, must have an adult passenger, both must have helmets and cars can go no faster than 9.00 seconds in the 1/8. Racers must switch drivers at time slip shack, with the adult driving back to the pits.

“It was a good performance for her first time on a race track,” Nomee

CoURTESy phoTo|DoUg CRaNN

Celista Horton

says.

In the Summit Series No. 4 Bigsmoke Racing High School bracket, Marcus Frantz of New-

port won first place, putting Newport in fourth place overall.

This is his second bracket win for the

season.

All races so far have been won by Newport students, according to Nomee.

Golfers galore at hospital fundraiser BLANCHARD – Some 120 players played in the Newport Hospital and Health Services Foundation (NHHSF) 12th annual fundraiser, raising more than $28,000, a $3,500 increase over 2018.

The Fore! the Health of It! Golf Tournament was held at StoneRidge Golf Course Saturday, June 15 and included an 18-hole scramble, awards ceremony and dinner.

Thirty teams teed off under sunny skies and warm temperatures, a welcome relief to the stormy weather of previous years’ tournaments.

Tournament winners include: 1st Place Gross – Albeni Falls Building Supply (Kevin Monahan, Matt Dieter, Mike Sandau, and Jason Landon); 2nd Place Gross – Mercer/ Principal (Chris Codd, Tom Wilbur, Matt Schnug, and Doug Rosendahl); 3rd Place Gross – Coordinated Care (Adam Hober, Scott Davis, Gary Kuhn, and Pam Copeland); 1st Place Net – Justin Arrand, River Arrand, Derek Thomas and Corey George; 2nd Place Net – Hoppy Gilmore (Cherie Coldwell, Aubrey Warmoth, Cooper Balke, and Santini Puailoa); 3rd Place Net – Dr. Clay Kersting, Katie Kersting, Dr. Jeremy Lewis, and Gae Lewis.

Women’s Long Drive – Cherie Coldwell; Men’s Long Drive – Chris Codd; Women’s Closest to Pin – Kim Manus; Men’s Closest to Pin – René Mendez; Long Putt – Chet Scott.

According to Lori Stratton, Foundation Event and Program Supervisor, this year’s tournament exceeded previous years not only in sponsorships, but in tournament volunteers, as well.

“I don’t think it could have gone better this year – the weather was perfect, volunteers were amazing, and our golfers had a great time,” said Stratton following the award ceremony.

In the Summit Series No. 3 Bigsmoke Racing High School bracket, Newport High School student Zack Hein took

first place.

The Albeni Falls Building Supply team of Kevin Monahan, Matt Dieter, Mike Sandau, and Jason Landon took first place in the Fore! the Health of It! Golf Tournament held last Saturday at StoneRidge.

The 2020 Fore! the Health of It! Tournament is set for June 19.

Organized by the Newport Hospital and Health Services Foundation, the golf tournament is part of the annual campaign to raise funds to promote and support all Foundation programs, including the Healthy Kids Snack Bags program, Reach Out and Read, and hospital district educational and equipment needs.

Platinum event co-sponsors Kalispel Tribe of Indians, Northern Quest Resort and Casino, and Albeni Falls Building Supply were well represented, joining 17 additional sponsors, StoneRidge members, and community golfers.

Newport Hospital and Health

Services Foundation began in 2008 and has since contributed over $300,000 to Public Hospital District No. 1 programs.

The NHHS Foundation mission is to cultivate relationships and partnerships to generate financial and other resources to assist NHHS to serve the community, promote health and improve lives.

In support of the District’s mission, the Foundation raises money for needed healthcare equipment, supplies, healthcare delivery, and overall community health and education.

More information on NHHS Foundation is available at NewportHospitalAndHealth.org.

Newport was ahead 8-4 in the bottom of the seventh inning, when Prairie scored three runs. Prairie had the tying run on base, with one out when Newport put an end to the rally and the game with a double play. Joel Miller fielded a ball hit to him at third, threw the runner out at first. First baseman JJ Albee caught the ball and threw to shortstop Hunter Ellingburg, who made the play at third to end the game.

“I’ll bet the audience will be humming along with us on some of the familiar pop songs we perform,” Long says.

Actors Jon Malcolm and Bob Hailey run through the skit ‘Bookshop’ at the beginning of the second act of Rhythm of Life.

“Rhythm has all the elements of our lives; the ups and downs, the joys and challenges, the flat-out fun and humor well lived through wonderful song,” Deborah Long, NPA President, says.

Through beautifully crafted chorale and solo/ensemble songs, ‘Rhythm’ is both humorous and heartfelt, featuring well-known songs and comedic sketches.

r. Lon Peckham began advertising with The Miner more than year and a half ago, when he opened his brand new, non-profit practice in Priest River. “It’s well worth it and continues to produce for us,” he said. Peckham tracks where his clients hear about him by printing different phone numbers in each publication and on the various websites he advertises on. “I can count every month the number of calls I get from The Miner and from the Extra,” he said. “People tell us they saw us in the newspaper and we tell them to bring their ad with them because we run different specials,” he said. “In my experience, working with dentists nationwide, it depends on the community. The smaller the community, the more important the newspaper. Here, the newspaper is much better for us than the Internet.”

He said he definitely plans to continue advertising in The Miner.

“It’s great to work with The Miner. I love Micki. She’s fantastic, she takes good care of me,” he said.

eth Callos has been advertising in The Miner for more than a year. He noticed an impact right away. “I think that first month we got at least one new account. I know that it’s generated calls. When people call they say ‘I saw your CD rates in the paper.’” Those new phone calls turn into new business. “Two-thirds of the calls that have come into the office from the ad have turned into business,” he said.

Callos says the rate of return with The Miner is better than any other form of advertising he’s done, such as going to marketing events and fairs. “Other print advertising I’ve done did not generate customers,” he said.

While Callos’ office is in Priest River, advertising in The Miner has helped him get clients in both Idaho and Washington. “The Miner has helped me bridge into the Washington market,” he said, as the staff makes it easy. “It’s great to work with The Miner,” he said. “Micki is helpful; I gave her my budget and she said ‘this is what we can do.’

“I’ll definitely continue advertising in The Miner.”

Don’t Let STROKE Strike Twice N

FAMILY FEATURES

ot all strokes can be prevented, but making healthy lifestyle choices, like exercising, eating right, maintaining a healthy weight and treating conditions such as high blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure can help reduce your risk of another one.

While there are about 7.2 million stroke survivors in the United States, people who have had a stroke are at high risk of having another one. In fact, about one in every four stroke survivors will have a second one.

Efforts like Together to End Stroke, an American Stroke Association initiative, nationally sponsored by Bayer Aspirin, work to educate stroke survivors and caregivers about how they can avoid a second occurrence.

Because the consequences of a second stroke can be more detrimental than the first, it’s important to recognize the signs, which come on suddenly, and act quickly. An easy way to remember the most common warning signs is the acronym F.A.S.T., (F – face drooping, A – arm weakness, S – speech difficulty, T – time to call 911).

Talk to your doctor about medications that may help you with your stroke prevention efforts. For example, taking aspirin regularly or other blood clot prevention medications can help reduce the risk of another ischemic stroke.

Consider following the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association’s “Life’s Simple 7” to achieve ideal health:

Don’t smoke. Smoking puts you at higher risk for heart disease and stroke. Quitting is one of the best things you can do to improve your health and add years to your life.

You’re more likely to quit for good if you prepare for your last cigarette and the cravings, urges and feelings that come with quitting.

Be physically active. A good starting goal is at least 150 minutes of physical activity a week, but if you don’t want to sweat the numbers, just move more. Find forms of physical activity you like and will stick with and build more opportunities to be active into your routine.

Eat a healthy diet. Healthy eating starts with simple, healthy food choices. You don’t need to stop eating your favorite meals, just use substitutions to make them healthier. Learn what to look for at the grocery store, restaurants, your workplace and other eating occasions so you can confidently make healthy, delicious choices whenever and wherever you eat.

Maintain a healthy weight. The benefits of maintaining a healthy weight go beyond improved energy and smaller clothing sizes. By losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight, you can also reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. There’s no trick to losing weight and keeping it off, but the majority of successful people modify their eating habits and increase physical activity.

Control cholesterol. Having large amounts of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, the bad cholesterol, in the blood can cause build up and blood clots, which can lead to heart attack or stroke. Reducing your fat intake, especially trans fats, often found in fried foods and baked goods, can help reduce your cholesterol. Adding more foods with omega-3 fatty acids like fish and nuts, as well as soluble fiber and whey protein, helps in managing cholesterol.

Manage blood pressure. Nothing causes more strokes than uncontrolled high blood pressure. Of the 116.4 million people in the United States who have high blood pressure, fewer than half have it under control, putting them at increased risk of stroke. Lowering your blood pressure by 20 points could cut your risk of dying from stroke by half.

Control blood sugar. By managing your diabetes and working with your health care team, you may reduce your risk of stroke. Every two minutes, an adult with diabetes in the United States is hospitalized for stroke. At age 60, someone with type 2 diabetes and a history of stroke may have a life expectancy that is 12 years shorter than someone without both conditions.

the family owned and operated several businesses.

They developed one of the largest pig farms in the Pacific Northwest. They ran it until 1977, and then it was closed and turned into a cedar shake mill. During this part of her life she did all of the accounting for the businesses and worked at the Newport courthouse. She was involved with the boys in Boy Scouts, 4-H, and Grange. Lois also purchased one of the very first home computers. It came in several boxes, and she built it herself.

While still living at the farm, the family briefly opened and operated Diamond Lake Gas & Mini Mart. She also traveled and worked as a payroll secretary for field offices in construction work. She joined the Eagles and was a member until 2017.

She honed her knitting skills and bought herself one of the first electronic knitting machines. She made a lot of “new baby” gifts for family and friends. Some of these “new babies” were her grandchildren, who then experienced living at the farm and time with

Gramma. Lois’ leisure activities were bowling, pool and dart leagues.

She received many trophies and pins for her achievements. The family also rode snowmobiles and enjoyed boating.

In 1995, Lois divorced, moved to Clayton, Wash., and purchased Clayton Mini Storage. She cooperated the new business with one of her sons.

While living here she continued to enjoy her pool and dart leagues and she even took up golfing.

She joined the Red Hat Society in 2006 and went to many conventions.

In 2013, Lois moved to Lewiston, Idaho. Here she turned her attention to her love of gardening.

She said the only good green bean is a home canned one. Her leisure time was spent playing Cribbage, Bejeweled, spending time with her great-granddaughters baking, playing Nintendo, and listening to them sing.

Lois loved family holidays her entire life. She loved the decorations, playing games, reading poems, and coming together to share a meal.

Newport Rodeo, 70 years and counting Carnival, rodeo dance, arena action highlight weekend

By DoN GRoNNiNG Of The Miner

NEWPORT – Time to break out the cowboy hats and boots, the Newport Rodeo is in town, with a carnival, rodeo parade, rodeo dance and of course, the rodeo. This year is a milestone for the event, as it celebrates 70 years in Pend Oreille County.

“Obviously, without community support, it wouldn’t be going as long as it has,” Newport Rodeo Association President Ray Hanson said. “We intend to keep it going as long as there is interest, hopefully at least another 70 years.”

The rodeo started in about 1935, with a group known as the Hootowl Gang putting on cowboy events in the Cusick area. The Pend Oreille Rodeo Association started in 1949 and a rodeo has taken place every year since. The first few years it was held in Cusick before moving to Newport.

This year’s action will get underway Thursday, June 20, with the carnival open for business.

The rodeo itself will take place Friday and Saturday, with performances starting at 7:30 p.m.

The Rodeo Parade, which starts at 11 a.m. Saturday, is back to its old route after last year’s detour because of the Highway 41 bridge work. Since the bridge is open to one lane traffic this year, the parade will resume its usual route, starting at the high school and going down First Street to North Calispel Street, then to Spruce Street, then along Washington Avenue downtown to Fourth Street. The parade will wind up at Newport High School.

The rodeo association is still taking applications for parade entries. Visit newportrodeo. weebly.com.

The rodeo Grand Marshalls for this year’s rodeo are all the past royalty.

The outdoor rodeo dance returns for the third year, with music by the Last Chance Band.

It will start immediately after the rodeo near the beer garden Saturday and continue until 1 a.m.

Friday will be Military Night at the rodeo, with $10 tickets at the gate for military, firefighters, law enforcement and EMTs who show proper identification.

Adult tickets are available for $12 in advance, $15 at the gate.

Advance tickets for children 5-11 cost $6 and children under 5 are admitted free.

This year’s rodeo will again feature ranch bronc riding and the standard rodeo events, with contestants from throughout the Northwest and Canada competing for about $10,000 in added prize money, along with the prestigious Newport Rodeo trophy buckles. (See rodeo sports story page B2).

Along with the rodeo competition, rodeo clown Clint

“Wolfie” Sylvester, will entertain between events. This year there will be a new event for local entries – the Donkey Relay Race, pretty much what it sounds like, a relay race on donkeys. Also for local participants, there is the crowd-pleasing calf panty pull contest, in which teams compete to see who can be the fastest to put pantyhose on a calf. Call rodeo president Ray Hanson at 360-770-1180 to participate.

While the carnival starts Thursday, rodeo weekend really gets underway Friday night, June 22, starting at 4 p.m., with commercial and craft vendors, family fun and a beer garden in the rodeo grounds. Rodeo starts at 7:30 p.m. both Friday and Saturday night. The beer garden is inside the rodeo arena, and will offer beer and spirits.

Saturday kicks off with a Cowboy Breakfast at 8 a.m. at the rodeo grounds.

As the parade winds down past Newport City Park around noon, the fourth annual Festivities in the Park will be well underway. Sponsored by the Newport/Priest River Rotary Club and Kalispel Tribe, there will be a variety of free games for kids, including a flamingo ring toss, bean bag toss, paper airplane making and a water gun playzone, sidewalk chalk for people to create colorful sidewalk art, bungee trampoline rides and a photo booth, all provided for free thanks to the Kalispel Tribe.

The ever-popular Chicken Poop Bingo returns with a 50/50 cash prize to the winner.

Spots on the board are $2 a piece. There will also be a beer and wine garden sponsored by the Newport/Priest River Rotary Club. There will be brews from Top Frog Brewery and a variety of domestic and import beverages.

“Bringing all the families of our community and those surrounding us together to enjoy music, play games and have a beer is so very rewarding,” says Micki Brass, organizer of Festivities in the Park and Newport/Priest River Rotary Club member. “We are looking so forward to this Saturday at Festivities in The Park.”

To accompany Festivities in the Park, there are a variety of craft and non-profit vendors and live music will begin at 11:30 a.m., going until 5:30 p.m. Performers include Larry Sauer, Tommy Petrie and Trout Pond Sammy and Spawn. The headliner will be the Raised in a Barn Band.

“With our dedicated Newport/Priest River Rotary Club members, and a huge thanks the Kalispel Tribe of Indians for their most generous contribution over the last four years of our event; we are honored to be able to play a part in having this wonderful tradition continue in our community,” says Brass.

Also during the weekend the water park will be open. The Scenic Pend Oreille River Train Ride will have its first ride of the year Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. The 1 p.m. ride will be the only one offered those days.

Barrel racing fans will be able to watch a free competition at the rodeo arena Sunday, starting at 11 a.m., when the Inland Barrel Racing Association holds a competition.

This year’s rodeo queen is Emily Sprague. All past Newport Rodeo royalty will be honored as Grand Marshalls of the rodeo parade.

Rodeo tickets are available in advance at Seeber’s, Safeway, Family Foods, Owen’s, Selkirk Ace, and Priest River Ace Hardware.

Newport Rodeo gets big names before they’re names In the 70 years the Newport Rodeo has been around, some of the most talented riders and ropers in the world of rodeo have competed here.

From 1955 world champion saddle bronc rider Deb Copenhaver to the current generation of riders like all around cowboy Caleb McMillan and bull rider Derek Kolbaba, Newport rodeo fans have seen some of rodeo’s greats compete.

In the case of McMillan and Kolbaba, fans got a chance to see them from a very young age.

Kolbaba has developed into one of the best bull riders in the world, winning more than $1 million in the Professional Bull Riders since he rode in Newport. He had the second highest score in what is being described as the greatest night of bull riding Saturday night in Bismarck, N.D. There were eight 90-point or better rides at the Chad Berger $125,000 team challenge event. Kolbalba, from Walla Walla, was marked 93.75 points and wasn’t the high marked ride of the night. That went to Chase Outlaw, the Oklahoma bull rider who was marked a point higher at 94.75.

Newport rodeo fans have seen a lot of Caleb McMillan, from when he competed as a young boy in the breakaway roping to watching him in virtually every event.

McMillan has seen success in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, ranked high in the Columbia River Circuit in bull riding and tie down roping. I could see

PAID FOR BY COMMITTEE TO ELECT CHRISTIAN MEADOR

him becoming another Phil Lyne, the all around champion who won world titles in both calf roping and bull riding, two events that don’t usually go together.

Regional rodeo associations, such as the ProWest, draw a wide range of competitors, from veterans who have been to the NFR, such as 1984 world champion heeler Mike Beers, now living in Kamloops B.C., to beginners who are in their first season of rodeo. Beers is leading RoDeo 2019 ProWest standings in heading. Rodeo sCeNe fans saw local cowboys don like Newport’s Austin GRonninG Krogh Priest River’s Caleb Nichols develop into fine saddle bronc riders, competing and winning many times at Newport. Some have chased their dreams to farther arenas than Newport. Priest River bull rider Thor Hoefer is on the road most of the year trying to make a name in the PBR, competing everywhere from Australia to Montreal.

So look hard at the entry sheet for Newport. There will be some gems in there.

meet our 2019 Queen emily sprague Bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, Namaste, Aloha! Yes, as you can see, we have so many ways to say ‘hello’ in our beautiful country, but in the heart of rodeo it is famously said ‘Howdy’ to greet people. This intriguing life of the cowboy and cowgirl has roped my heart ever since I was young. As the reigning 2019 Newport Rodeo Queen I hope to inspire the younger generations, teaching them the ways of the rodeo and being an example of the amazing atmosphere it provides.

I am Emily Sprague, daughter of Jeff and Rebecca Sprague, sister to Michael, Mathew, and Julie, also an aunt to Lincoln, Logan, Winston, and another baby boy which will soon be here in June. I am also blessed to be niece to many wonderful uncles and aunts along with being a granddaughter to two sets of grandparents.

I am also a mother, of some sort, to two fantastic horses, Sweetie and my rodeo horse Stormy. With much backup of family, I am in no shortage of great support!

I have had many fun adventures involving ballet for sixteen years, horseback riding since I was two, an active member in 4-H since 2009, graduating high school from Deer Park Homelink with my Associates of Arts

degree, riding on the Washington State High School Equestrian Team with the Deer Park School for four years, and held the 2018 Pend Oreille County Fair and Rodeo Queen title. I am currently attending Whitworth University for my Bachelor of Science degree with a major in biology.

My ambition is to become an Equine Veterinarian. During the summers, I work at McKinlay and Peters Equine Hospital, earning more knowledge in how an equine veterinarian works.

Being a rodeo queen has so many more attributes involved than just a pretty face and a beautiful horse. It requires her to be knowledgeable of her represented rodeo, educate the public about her rodeo, and to be a respectable public figure in front of everyone at all times.

As the 2019 Newport Rodeo Queen I wish to be all of these facets and more throughout my reign. I look forward to making new friends, taking lots of pictures, riding in parades and rodeos, and representing this amazing rodeo! I want to also thank all of my sponsors who have supported the Newport Rodeo and all the events I will attend during my reign! I look forward to seeing you at the Newport Rodeo!

Robert “Robbie” stoffer Aug. 16, 1962 – Dec. 21, 2018

Robbie was a native of the Newport-Priest River area and graduated from Priest River Lamanna High School.

Throughout his life, he enjoyed the sports of billiards and racing. He spent several years racing in the stock car division at the Sandpoint Race Track and was an active member and organizer for the Oldtown Lawnmower Street Drags the past 9.5 years.

Robbie’s love for his community began early in his life when he joined the Newport Rodeo Association in 1985 at the age of 20. He held several positions in the association over the years, including President and Vice President, and he was selected in 2009 as the Grand Marshal for the rodeo parade. In an interview with The Miner Newspaper he said the Newport Rodeo is Newport’s most entertaining event and that he would do it until he died.

Unfortunately, Robbie’s health had declined over the last several years and kept him from participating in association events as much as he would have liked. Robbie was best known for his humor and love of life. He will be missed by all who knew him.
