Rodeo action returns for 69th year By Don Gronning Of The Miner
NEWPORT – The biggest weekend of the summer will kick off Thursday, with the carnival in town ready for action June 21, followed by the 69th annual Newport Rodeo Friday and Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Rodeo president Ray Hanson says getting the carnival back was a pleasant surprise. “It’s great,” he says. The Rodeo Parade will take place Saturday, along a different route this year because of construction on the Highway 41 bridge in Idaho. In normal years, trucks can be re-routed on Highway 41, instead of down Union Street, which is usually turned into a two-way road. For this year and next, the parade will leave Stratton Elementary as usual, turn left on Calispel to First Street and then jog to continue on Caplispel. It will take the rounded corner on Spruce Street to Spokane Avenue, and then head all the way to Fourth Street and end at Stratton Elementary. It’s the same route the Newport Homecoming parade takes in the fall.

Duxbury signs year contract By Caneel Johnson Of The Miner
NEWPORT – Newport now has a permanent police chief. The council voted to hire Mark Duxbury Monday, June 18. He will make an annual salary of $69,864, plus benefits. Duxbury, 51, was sworn in on Jan. 2 as interim chief. The council made him permanent at the regular Monday night meeting June 18. Duxbury was initially hired on a temporary basis for six months. That paid $33,744 plus benefits. At Duxbury’s request, the council amended the policy to allow the officers to work one 44-hour week consisting of three 12-hour shifts and one eight-hour shift and one 36-hour week consisting of three 12-hour shifts. It would still be 40 hours in a two-week period. Duxbury said the change was needed to maximize coverage without running up overtime. Overtime is required for more than 80 hours in two weeks. The city council approved a mutual agreement with the Pend Oreille County Sherriff’s Office to come to each other’s aid. Each agency will each be responsible for their own costs when assisting the other agency, but if replacement supplies are needed the assisted agency will be responsible that cost. Duxbury has an extensive background in law enforcement. He retired as a captain after 26 years in California. He was the only officer employed by the city until March. Newport hired two more officers. Ryan Nuvill of Elk is a retired marine. His first day was April 16. Raul Lopez of Bonner County was hired March 5. See Newport, 2A

Books Out Back is open for business Filling the bookstore gap
By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner
PRIEST RIVER – The closest thing the Pend Oreille River Valley has to a book store are the book sales held by local Friends of the Library groups in West Bonner and Pend Oreille Counties. Books Out Back embodies that in Priest River. Operated out of the back of the Priest River Library, the small bookstore is run by Friends of The West Bonner Libraries, a non-profit organization made up of volunteers dedicated to supporting the West Bonner Library District. Books Out back will celebrate its three-year anniversary Aug. 1.
“The store used to a trailer office space with orange shag carpet,” says bookstore manager and Friends member Carrie Dean. Construction of Books Out Back took about three months, with the Friends paying for the renovation and mounting the bookshelves themselves. Now, the walls are lined with a variety of different books in different genres. The prices are also hard to beat, with children’s books costing only 10 cents, paperbacks are 25 cents, softcover books and hardcover fiction are 50 cents, and hardcover non-fiction books, CDs, and DVDs are $1. Hours are Fridays and Saturdays, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. The first Saturday of every month
customers can buy a bag of books for $2. Volunteers that man the bookstore are paid one book for every hour they work. “All the books are donated, and people are usually very generous with their donations,” Dean says. “It’s really rare that we get junk stuff, like old textbooks or waterstained and tattered items.” Dean added that in 2017, 838 people came to Books Out Back to browse and purchase materials. So far in 2018, from January to June, that number is down by 75 people. Dean said she doesn’t know what the reason for the drop could be. All the revenue the bookstore brings in goes to the

Canss: Governor was in Chewelah to discuss broadband there From Page 1A
er group, Responsible Growth *NE Washington, along with several individuals, filed a lawsuit against the PUD for selling the land to the group that wants to build the smelter. Inslee was in Chewelah to attend a meeting to discuss the need for broadband capabilities in the rural areas of Northeast Washington. “Uncle Sam really needs to get to providing more access to ISPs,” Inslee said. Pend Oreille County has fiber laid in the southern part of the county, but the northern part of the county would benefit greatly from the addition of broadband. Things like teleconferences for medical consultations, legal processes, online schooling and the addition of jobs, are some of the ways that broadband can improve the quality of life in Northeast Washington, Desiree Sweeny the chief executive officer of Northeast Washington Health Program said. “Hunters medical clinic is still using dial up because there is no access to anything faster,” Sweeny said. Access to broadband improves the infrastructure of every county that is able to implement it, broadband supporters said. “One hundred years ago libraries were adamant about the need to increase literacy for the health of the country,” Amanda Six the director of Libraries of Stevens County said. “Today the problem is that people are technologically illiterate.” The ability to use a computer is necessary for prosperity.

thing is done online including job applications. “We don’t want kids to have to leave Chewelah,” Mayor Dorothy Knass said. The lack of access to broadband internet is only one of the reasons that makes it so difficult to recruit and maintain medical personnel in Northeast Wash-
ington. “They have to be as creative as possible to recruit talent,” says Inslee. Broadband is not only crucial for the daily operations of medical clinics and hospitals it is imperative for emergency agencies as well. “Many of the people relocated
in the 2015 wildfires told me how lucky they were to still be alive considering how hard it was to get information on where the fires were and if they needed to evacuate,” said Jim Caruso the emergency manger for Stevens County. Caruso believes access to broadband will save lives.
Newport: Land declared surplus by city council From Page 1A
They will make an annual salary of $45,768 plus benefits. The estimated cost of the new police department will be $482,000 annually. That includes dispatch, but not jail services. The city will pay about $70,000 annually to house prisoners at the county jail. This year the cost will be slightly higher due to the need for cars and other equipment. The city will pay for the new force using the funds that would have paid for the Sherriff’s services, according to Nicole North the city clerk/treasurer. The police force is still looking for one more officer. There have been no applicants yet. In other city council matters, the public hearing was held to declare 10 acres of land on the south bench surplus was approved by the council. The land will be traded for 10 acres next to a parcel the city already owns on the South Bench. An audience member
from the CANNS group asked about the swap. Her concern was that it was being traded for the advantage it would give PacWest. She was told that the land swap had been in the works for some time and wasn’t done to assist PacWest in accessing their land. Shelly Coelho proposed a summer long Friday night festival that would encourage economic growth and social interaction to the council. “The logging town I came from in California used to do these every summer. It really encouraged people to get out,” Coelho said. She suggested the blocking off parts Second and Third streets for local vendors and piping in music from the high school. Due to the amount of planning and legal considerations the project will probably not be viable for this year. Coelho is hoping to get plans for a winter festival in the works for this year. Terri Ivie’s request for $1,000 dollars for Relay For Life hotel costs was approved. The organization has raised nearly
$200,000 for cancer support in the 13 years it has been in Newport. The event will be held at the Newport High School Aug. 10, from 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. “We are all run down by the next morning, but it is worth it,” says Ivie. All proceeds go to the American Cancer Society for research. The city repealed a 30-year-old ordinance that bonded individual city workers. The new ordinance will provide a million dollar umbrella policy bond that covers all city workers. The council approved contracting out building inspections to James A. Swell & Associates. The contract will begin July 1, and would have a 90day termination clause. Alex Stanton, a Greater Newport Area Chamber of Chamber of Commerce board member, was concerned that the contract include a mandatory turn around time. Stanton said when he was building the Exbabylon building, Sewell was short staffed and he had to push to keep things moving on time. Brad Hanson’s Vet-
erans Appreciation Barbecue request to rent the Veterans Memorial Park behind the city hall was approved. The event will take place June 26 10 a.m.-2p.m. Hanson is president of the Hospitality House. NBC Nightly News will be there to cover the event. Fire District Four Fire Chief Nick Knaack reported on the hazardous materials and mass casualties drill that was held last weekend. “We learned some of the things we did well, and some of the areas that need improvement,” said Knack. The drill was mostly a success, but Knaack felt it could have been more realistic if they had not assigned people their roles in advance. A more spur of the moment approach would be more realistic. Knack also praised the fire fighters who were involved in the apartment building fire on June 8. The quick response time and efficient teamwork saved the building from complete destruction The worst of the damage was contained to 30 percent of the building with only
a little smoke and water damage to the rest of it. Knack reminded the council that a spaghetti feed dinner and silent auction will be held to raise funds for Assistant Fire Chief Steve Gibson on June 30 from 10 a.m.7 p.m. The event will be held at Fire Station four in Dalkena. Gibson was the fire chief for 31 years, and still answers calls despite suffering from cancer. He was one of the responders to the apartment fire. Sheryl Miller introduced herself to the council. She will be running against Jeff Pitman and incumbent county commissioner Mike Manus for county commissioner. “I am really looking forward to working with the county,” says Miller. Mayor Shirley Sands thanked Ray King for his 40 years working for the city. This was King’s last council meeting. “It’s been a great pleasure working with him the last 18 years as a council member and mayor,” Sands said. “The city owes him a hero’s welcome for the work he’s done for the city.”

Local ministries collecting donations for fire victims By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner
NEWPORT – Real Life Ministries is accepting donations for the families displaced by the Willow Glen Apartment fire on June 8. The cause of the fire, which began in the afternoon, was an unattended cooking stove that was accidentally left on, according to Christopher Lee Smith of the Pend Oreille County Fire Investigation Unit. According to Real Life Ministries Pastor Jared Horton, the fire displaced five families. “On behalf of the families involved in this fire, I would like to thank everyone for your prayers, support, donations, and encouragement,” Horton posted on the Facebook group Willow Glen Fire Assistance on Saturday, June 16. “The donations have been overwhelming. We are not in need of anything at this point. However, as these families find new homes, we will once again need to support and assist them,
as they will need items for their new homes. Stay posted and I will communicate those needs as we come across them.” Horton said the ministries received plentiful donations of clothes for the families. He is asking that people please not donate any more clothing unless requested. “That is a good problem,” Horton posted Sunday, June 17. “Each of the families have taken all they want/need at this time.” Excess clothing was put out for an impromptu yard sale last Sunday, with all profits going to help the families. Join the Facebook group to see what the needs are before donating. Check them out on Facebook or call Real Life Ministries at 509-4472164. It was mistakenly printed in last week’s photo caption, “Apartment fire” that Pend Oreille County Counseling and Lifeline Ministries are accepting donations for victims
of the fire. The Miner Newspapers regrets any confusion this caused.

Taking children from parents an abhorrent policy
A
nyone with children, or siblings, or parents, cousins, aunts and uncles – basically anyone with any relative anywhere – should be appalled at what’s happening at the southern border of the United States. Children – some still in diapers – are being taken from their parents while attempting to cross the border. Regardless of whether those parents are trying to cross legally or illegally, every measure should be taken to keep families together. Everyone from the United Nations to religious leaders are calling on the Trump administration and Congress to end the policy that has separated at least 2,342 children just since the beginning of May. Child psychology experts say that the separation of children from their parents can have long-term psychological affects on these children. And our government is doing nothing to stop it. Actually, it’s our government that is causing this to happen. Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered prosecutors along the border to adopt an immediate zerotolerance policy for illegal border crossings starting in April. This included parents traveling with their children, as well as people who subsequently attempted to request asylum, according to National Public Radio. These are not a drug cartel, or criminals. These are families leaving their home countries because life there is so dangerous, taking the risk to come to the United States is safer than staying put. It does not matter where they come from. The United States is supposed to be the leader in human rights, and we’re failing – miserably. It’s an atrocity that we are choosing to implement. Take a moment to imagine what it would be like at age 3 or 10 to be taken away from your parents in a strange country, with no idea when or if you’ll be reunited. Think about what it would be like if one of your own children was taken from you, and the only alternative is to stay in a country where all your lives are in danger constantly. Once you’re done imaging that, thank God you were lucky enough to live in the United States. These children were not that lucky. It’s our duty as Americans to demand that this practice be stopped. We’re calling on all our leaders – the White House, Congress, law enforcement, and everyone else with a say in the practice – to immediately stop the separation of families at the border. We’re better than this. -MCN
Can’t we be friends? Life is very short, and there’s no time for fussing and fighting, my friend. A wise British man in a bowl cut said that once. To be more accurate, he sang it. Four of them did, actually. That snippet of lyric occasionally flits across my mind (in four part harmony, even) and it applies to so many situations: pointless internet quarrels, contacting your health insurance company to sort out billing issues, screaming children in the grocery store, breakups and staying friends with your ex. Let’s talk about S o p h i E ’ s that last one, because I don’t have C HOI C E any kids, and I avoid online arguments like the restaurant where Sophia the waiter is coughing and sniffling aldous while asking if they can take your order. To start with a caveat while quoting another song of yore, breaking up is hard to do, even when it’s the right thing to do, even when you should run from that relationship like it’s a burning house and you didn’t even have time to put on your shoes and grab your passport before fleeing. We form attachments to people in the early stages of our relationships where we are certain that this person was delivered to us by serendipity on the wings of a cosmic Pegasus. Then the honeymoon phase ends and we realize that they are indeed just human, sometimes irritatingly so. The things we thought we so profoundly had in common have changed, or just weren’t even that solid to begin with. And that’s okay. Our society has this ride-or-die mentality when it comes to romantic relationships, and while we love to talk about weddings, we rarely have honest conversations about marriage and if that’s an institution that is suited for everyone. We tend to think that coupled people are happier people, and while I know they exist and have met more than a few, how many people do you know immediately spring to mind when you think of dysfunctional relationships and being miserable inside of their marriages? So what happens when two people decide to consciously end their relationship? When you get to the point where you both admit that while you’ve had a lot of good times and you still care about them, you know your dynamic as it currently stands is done. Here are a few gentle reminders for ourselves and our friends and family as we go through an amicable breakup (acrimonious, abusive relationships are a See sophie, 5A

yo u r o p i n i o n Seattle reversing head tax To the editor, Seattle is now contemplating new legislation to reverse its controversial Head Tax. This tax wanted companies to pay an additional $275 per employee per year, to fund housing for their homeless crisis. The Seattle socialist city council forgot that businesses can leave to go to less anti business cities. As the vice president of Amazon, Seattle’s largest employer said, “It’s not a revenue problem for Seattle it’s a spending efficiency problem.” Seattle’s Mayor, Jenny Durkan now says, “these challenges can only be addressed together as a city and as a state and region.” The socialists in Seattle are already thinking of state and federal money for a problem they created. What do you expect from a legislature that one of them wanted to take over Boeings for the people? Now folks this is what socialism looks like. Seattle created its homeless problem, by raising taxes very high, and increasing the minimum wage so high that new businesses cannot start. Also they keep inviting in illegal aliens, which leads to more homelessness. We have people in our area and sometimes on this opinion page that want us to be like Seattle and California. We do not need socialism here or Seattle values here. What we need are legislators that believe in economic freedom. Who are also pro business, and values our military, and has family values. A legislature that also believes in a smaller
government, not a larger one that wants to control our everyday life. We need legislatures that will protect these values in the 7th district here locally. That is why I will be voting for Cathy McMorris Rodgers, for Washington state’s U.S. Representative. For Washington State 7th district, Shelly Short, Joel Kretz and Jacquelyn Maycumber, all will get my vote. Richard Miller Newport
Who does executive committee report to? To the editor, At a county commissioners’ meeting I attended last fall, the commissioners stated that an executive committee was being formed to oversee the smelter project. Members of the community asked the commissioners on at least two separate occasions to include a citizenat-large on the executive committee. They replied that the request would be taken into consideration, but it seems the request fell on deaf ears. The Selkirk Conservation Alliance’s “Sightlines” fall edition paper stated that the county will have a seven-person executive committee to evaluate the smelter project including 1) a representative from PUD, 2) Bob Shanklin from the Port, 3) Mike Manus, county commissioner, 4) Bonner County commissioner, Jeff Connolly, 5) Ray Pierre from the tribe, 6) a member of EDC, and 7) the mayor of Newport, Shirley Sands. The City of Newport has discontinued any talks at the city council meetings regarding smelter issues because they say the smelter will
r e a d e r ’ s p o l l U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un held a historic meeting last week in Singapore. It was the first time an American president has met with a North Korean head of state. Do you think the meeting was successful and will it lead to normal relations between North Korea and the U.S.? Yes, it was a successful meeting that may have headed off nuclear war. Trump deserves the credit. It is the start of normalizing relations. No, it was a photo opp for Trump that weakened the relationship with South Korea. Without North Korea changing, it is hard to imagine a normal relationship with the U.S.
not be within the city limits, therefore the city has no relationship with the smelter. I’m curious how they can say, “The city has no relationship with the smelter” when the Newport Mayor is on the executive committee? Isn’t the city involved through Shirley Sand’s participation?

Prepare for public meetings To the editor, An eye catcher in local government meetings is what advance public information may be obtained by a records request to enable more meaningful public input on upcoming spending policies and capital improvement programs. For example, street chip sealing funds may be available for small towns timely applying with a six-year street spending plan through the state Transportation Improvement Board. Residents interested in saving local government operational expenses for streets may prepare and present TIB funding, after requesting to see the related public records and policies used. Research tip-offs being the notice or agenda for the next meeting obtained in advance from the clerk. Then see what is really going on, prepare written comments and discussion notes, by accessing our public libraries, computers, printers and copiers. Clerks send out advance meeting informa-

tion to decision makers at least a few days ahead of time, so request and get this, double check it. It would be extremely helpful to have public library access four hours before each public meeting. Cusick’s clerk’s office is now open at that time. Things are getting better. Assure the performance of your representatives’ duties of due diligence on public issues. Ione’s Clerk Sandy Hutchinson gave written public notice in our local newspaper in advance of the 7:10 pm., Wednesday, June 20, six-year, streets spending plan. This helps the public study it for helpful comments. Cusick’s recent spending spree was mostly unhampered by public comment. Hopefully the $108,000 sewer and water infrastructure rehabilitation reserve fund, accumulated when Bob Spencer was Mayor and Charlotte Yergens was Clerk remains untouched. No chip sealing. The public may be in-the-dark. When spending plan policies catch your public eye, your action and comment may produce better open government spending. It all adds up. Help Save Our Friendly Towns! Your thoughts and comments are welcome. -Duane Schofield Cusick

whole other column). Communicate your intentions: Sometimes when we break up with someone, we say, “Let’s still be friends.” What does that mean? It can come across as a veiled translation, as in, “I wouldn’t run you over with my car if I saw you crossing the street,” or it can give the other person false hope that you might be a couple again. It may sound obvious, but how do you see that friendship materializing? Are you getting together for coffee once a week? Once a month? Are you still texting? Maybe you and your ex share a love critter together, or a passel of them, and it’s important to you that your kids see their parents being civil and kind to one another. Whatever the reason, do your best to be honest with
them and yourself. Hey loved ones, think before you play defense: I get it. It’s a totally natural thing to do when someone you care about goes through a breakup, especially an ugly one. I’ve done it myself. We choose sides and come to the rescue of our loved one’s character. However, before you launch into your declaration about how you never liked so-and-so, and how they are the rust spots in the toilet bowl of life, hear your family member and/ or friend out first. If them maintaining a friendship with their ex isn’t physically or emotionally abusive towards them or any children involved, then there’s a good chance you will see their former S.O. at family functions, or events involving a similar social circle. Instead of a tirade against their former partner, a better approach
might be to ask your loved one, “How are you doing? If you need someone to talk to, or some place you can just relax and take your mind off of things, I’m here for you.” So can exes always be friends? No, and there are plenty of occasions where they shouldn’t be. Our paths aren’t always meant to stay on the same course as someone else’s, and that’s true whether or not it’s your romantic interest, friendships, and even family members. Is it impossible for exes to be friends? No on that too. Hell, if they can make a space shuttle thermal protection system so astronauts don’t evaporate, two people can find healthy, beneficial ways to redefine their relationship to someone they care about.

wearing medical scrubs can save our lives. The ad attempts to transfer the praise for heroes to our congresswoman. Walking in the halls of congress isn’t anything approaching heroic. We don’t see our congresswoman tackling an active shooter in a hallway. She didn’t stop at a car accident and pull a driver from a burning car. So how do her political efforts get labeled as heroic? Other political ads about CMR say that she is fighting hard for us. Likewise, I don’t see any black eyes or bleeding associated with fighting. I don’t see Cathy fighting off a club wielding liberal. Other ads say that Cathy is working hard for us. Let me say that the two guys that pumped my septic tank work hard for a living. Working hard isn’t standing for photo ops in front of cameras. I often see CMR using the military for political points. The ads say she is fighting to help military families. Has she done anything about the endless deployments that our soldiers have to endure? The military dads or moms are rarely there for their kids because they are fighting endless wars. Those wars result from
failed foreign policies that demand military action as our only response to conflicts. I would like to see Cathy leave out the hero and fighting words from her ads. They really don’t fit reality. Someone needs to ask CMR at one of her “Coffee with Cathy” meetings to show her wounds from her fighting and some heroic pictures of her in action. The next political ad probably will have her dressed in a super hero costume. -Pete Scobby Newport

Aldous column on suicide appreciated To the editor, Sophia Aldous has balls, big balls. Sharing her experiences with suicide proved that. (‘Suicide: Let’s talk about it,’ June 13). Her clear and concise exploration and her unwillingness to blame others showed moxie. In an era where charlatans and puffy chest rules the airwaves, a small town newspaper editor covers the truth.

My Week Everyone loves a parade. I was so disappointed to miss the Curlew Barrel Derby, a festival based on the art and history of bootlegging and one of the many unique things about the district. I needed to join a video conference call as soon as the parade was to inish, but unfortunately due to the lack of publicly available broadband on a Sunday I had to miss the derby. This is yet another reminder of the work that needs to be done to provide everyone in our district affordable and reliable broadband. Not one to be deterred, I did attend the OutSpokane Pride
Parade, while Mike Bell and Randy Michaelis added my signs to their entry in the Prospectors Day Parade in Republic so I could be two places at once. Along with equality for all citizens, healthcare continues to be the big topic of conversation in Deer Park and Newport. Our Insurance commissioner announced this week that health insurance rates are expected to go up 19% next year on top of the 40% they went up last year. While I love a parade, it feels like we are marching people to bankruptcy instead of celebrating the uniqueness of our communities.

11-month sentence for unprovoked attack By Don Gronning Of The Miner
NEWPORT – A 22-yearold Newport man was sentenced to nine months in jail for an unprovoked attack that resulted in the victim receiving multiple broken bones.
Wyatt Walker had pleaded guilty to second degree assault and third degree malicious mischief two weeks ago. He was sentenced Thursday, June 17, in Pend Oreille Superior Court by Judge Jessica Reeves. In addition to the nine months, he was also
sentenced to 364 days in jail, with 300 suspended, for the malicious mischief charge, with the time to be served consecutively. Prosecuting attorney Gregg Hicks said that in late October Walker came home and attacked the victim. Hicks said the
victim was an invited guest of Walker’s girlfriend and there was no reason for the attack, which was especially vicious. “(The attack) continued down two floors of the apartment,” Hicks said. The victim ran to his car. Walker continued the attack, breaking the car’s windshield, resulting in the malicious mischief charge. The victim pointed a handgun at Walker, Hicks said. Hicks said that although Walker had no prior criminal record, he wanted the maximum sentence of nine months. The sentencing range for someone with Walker’s lack of record was three to nine months. Hicks said the victim had five broken bones in his face, and surgery to install a metal plate. The attack was unprovoked, he said. The woman, the apartment leaseholder, invited the man and there was nothing inappropriate about the visit. Hicks said the attack was the result of rage, anger, and jealousy. “If I could have got more than nine months, I would have,” he said. Defense attorney Brett
Billingsley said Walker had come home from work and misinterpreted things. He said Walker had no record and deserved the low end of the sentencing range, three months. Walker had completed an online anger management course, he said. The victim’s mother testified that the attack disrupted her son’s life a lot. Walker’s employer testified on Walker’s behalf. He said he was a good worker and wanted him to continue working so he could pay restitution. Reeves said the first time Walker got in trouble, he really got in trouble. Second-degree assault is a strike offense, she said, meaning if a person is convicted of three of them, it’s a mandatory life sentence. “It’s not clear why this took place,” she said. There was no provocation. She noted if the prosecutor could have asked for a longer sentence, he would have. Reeves said Walker’s lack of a criminal record was a reason to go below the maximum sentence. “A slap on the hand for
a strike offense is not the message you should get,” she said. “This is a serious crime for which we have no tolerance.” Hicks asked for nine months on the malicious mischief three charge. Reeves sentenced Walker to 364 days, with 300 suspended. She ordered that they be served after the nine months. Billingsley said Hicks essentially argued for an exceptional sentence when he said if he could have gotten a longer sentence he would have. “You made reference to it and I think it affected your ruling,” he said. “This will be appealed.” Billingsley asked if Walker could wait a month to report to jail. Hicks opposed that. There was no bail posted in the case. Reeves said she didn’t have a reason not to send Walker to jail today. Billingsley asked for a day to report. Reeves denied the request. In addition to the jail time, Walker was ordered to pay $1,100 in legal financial obligations, including $250 for the public defender.

Blanchard, Deputies Michael Gagnon, Justin Penn and William Craffey attempted to arrest Foster on an outstanding arrest warrant. Officials said Foster was not listening to the commands from the deputies and ran away from them. Foster fired a gun at the deputies, hitting two of them. They fired back, hitting and injuring Foster. Bonner County Sheriff Daryl Wheeler said deputy Penn was recently cleared to return to duty in early June. Deputy Gagnon has been back on duty for some time. Marshall said Foster would most likely serve out his sentence at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Kuna.

Rodeo: Friday is Military Night, ticket discounts From Page 1A
The rodeo association is still taking applications for parade entries. Visit newportrodeo.weebly. com. Last year was the first year for the rodeo dance. “It was a success,” Hanson says, and will be held again this year. The outdoor dance will start immediately after the rodeo near the beer garden. It will conclude at 1 a.m. Hanson said that the adult section is fenced off but last year quite a few youngsters were able to listen to the music outside the fenced off area. This year’s band is Texas Twister. 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 Danger Dave Whitmoyer of Helena, Mont., will entertain and the Skagit Valley Rein Riders Drill Team is returning with their drill team pyrotechnics. 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

Learn how to row with Pend Oreille Rowing Class offered with Gonzaga men’s’ rowing coach BY SOPHIA ALDOUS OF THE MINER
PRIEST RIVER – It’s time to get rowing. Warming weather means the Pend Oreille Rowing and Paddling Association of Priest River (PORPA) is back on the water, and the non-profit sporting and recreation organization are looking for people to join them. PORPA is offering a Masters Learn to Row program for ages 18-years and up. The program is for beginning and novice rowers and covers the fundamentals of rowing and rowing safety. According to PORPA member Erwin Muller, rowing is one of the oldest sports, having its origins in ancient Egypt. Modern competitive rowing started in England close to three centuries ago and is the oldest intercollegiate sport in USA. “Rowing is a sport that can be enjoyed by people from age 12 all the way into the nineties,” Muller says. “Rowing is a complete body exercise that uses mostly legs, core and arms. Since there is no jarring to the joints, it can be enjoyed all our lives. It can be done by oneself on a single or in teams of two, four and eight rowers. It develops endurance and strength as part of the physical skills and teamwork, discipline and leadership for our soft skills. It can be very competitive or just have a leisurely row to enjoy nature.” There are junior teams for high school kids, university teams, and master teams from 24 and up, male, female and mixed. The Learn To Row program is a four-week course of eight sessions to be held Saturdays and Sundays beginning Saturday, June 23, 9:30 a.m.-12 p.m. Each day will consist of a two hour and 30 minute session both on and off the water. The course will be held at the Priest River Recreation Area, also known as The

Mudhole. “When one watches rowing as a sport, it seems very easy, specially since rowing done by advanced or expert rowers seems so graceful,” Muller says. “In reality, rowing is a very technical sport where skills need to be learned to be able to function efficiently on a shell.” Muller explained that from the outside, rowing looks easy, but a rower has to think that during each stroke a rower needs to complete 12 distinct sequential moves that have to be continuous. To further complicate things, the movements need to be synchronized with the other rowers on the shell to prevent instability and the movements have to become muscle memory. “It can be defined by three “S” words: synchronous, sequential, symmetry,” Muller says. “Bad habits are very difficult to eradicate once the movements become muscle memory.” The course instructor is Dan Gehn, coach of the Gonzaga Men’s Rowing
Crew. Individuals who complete the course are invited to join PORPA and will have a 50 percent discount on a rowing membership in 2018. PORPA has a fleet of six rowing shells to include two eight-seats, a fourseat, and two singles. This means the association can provide a rowing experience at any interest level, says Muller. The association also participates in the annual Head of The Pend Oreille River Regatta, a three-day event that starts with a BBQ and includes a 17K headrace against other rowers. However, people interested in the Masters Learn to Row program are not required to compete or attend. “For rowing you need a lot of calm water, and with our lakes and rivers during the season when the rivers close to the dams are hardly flowing, we have a perfect rowing environment,” Muller says. “You can go for miles without having to turn. While out on the water, everybody
can enjoy the peace and quiet and the beautiful nature around us. It can hardly get any better than watching the reflection of the mountains on the water with the orange sunset sky above also reflecting, and seeing a pair of ospreys fighting with bald eagles over a section of the river.” Interested parties can download the application and waiver from the PORPA.org website or contact Patricia Sudick by email at deblaq@netw. com headrace@netw.com or cell phone at 509 9904821. Participants will be asked to confirm their ability to swim. There is a $300 fee for the eightweek session. The offering of this program is the first in PORPA’s efforts to provide a structured means of learning to row. Future plans include the development of a junior rowing program.

Locals among rodeo contestants BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER
NEWPORT – Rodeo fans will see a number of local contestants at this year’s rodeo, which takes place Friday and Saturday nights, June 22-23, starting at 7:30 p.m. There will also be a slack performance 9 a.m. Saturday for the overflow contestants. There is no charge to see the slack performance. Friday there will be several local contestants competing. Newport’s Austin Krogh will compete in the saddle bronc riding, as will Priest River’s Caleb Nichols. Nichols is ranked No. 4 in ProWest saddle bronc riding standings and Krogh is No. 5. Also competing Friday night is Newport Rodeo Queen Faith Jones. She is in the breakaway roping. Krogh and Nichols both entered twice and will ride Saturday as well. In the riding events, contestants can enter an event twice this year. A couple Newport barrel racers will be running during Saturday’s slack performance.
Trinity Munar and Sara Zwarg, both of Newport, will compete in the slack. Candi Shanholtzer of Usk will compete in the barrel racing in Saturday’s performance. Barrel racing drew the most competitors, with 40 cowgirls entered. Breakaway roping drew 28 competitors, team roping has 23 teams, tie down roping had 21 entries and steer wrestling had a dozen entries. In the riding events, bareback riding had seven entries, saddle bronc riding had 13 entries and bull riding had a dozen entries. There is also ranch bronc riding, with several riders each performance. Bull riders will have their hands full with the Mel Layton bucking bulls. Nobody managed to stay on at Colville last week. “They haven’t rode none of them bulls,” Layton said. Among his top buckers are Quick Draw, a 1,500 pound black muley bull and Mellow Yellow, a big horned paint bull. Both were selected for the ProWest Finals. In addition to local contestants,
many ProWest champs are competing, including many time All Around champion Jacob Stacy, who is coming off a win in the saddle bronc riding at Colville. He will also compete in the steer wrestling and team roping at Newport. Jace Berg of Colville, also a several time ProWest bull riding champ, will be out Friday at Newport. Francis Marchand of Omak, who is ranked No. 1 in saddle bronc riding, No. 2 in bareback riding and No. 2 in bull riding, will compete in those events Friday. Caleb McMillan of Soap Lake, Wash., a many time event winner at Newport, will be out Friday in saddle bronc riding, bull riding and team roping. Saturday, Cole Apgar will compete in the bareback riding. Apgar is coming off a win at Colville. Tie down roping will get tougher Saturday, with top ropers Kass Kayser, Jason Minor and Kyle Sloan, all of Ellensburg, competing. Minor was the 2012 ProWest champion tie down roper and Sloan won the title in 2014.

Steps to help prevent cancer
Treatment options for men with enlarged prostate (Family Features) If you’re a male over the age of 45, chances are you may be suffering from a condition more common than prostate cancer – benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). More commonly known as enlarged prostate, BPH can cause bothersome urinary symptoms that can worsen with age. In fact, nearly 40 million men in the United States are affected by enlarged prostate, according to research published in the “Journal of Urology.” During Men’s Health Month, consider these steps from the experts at NeoTract, Inc., manufacturer of the UroLift System, for alleviating enlarged prostate symptoms:
Signs You Should See a Urologist An enlarged prostate obstructs the bladder opening and can lead to a myriad of bothersome urinary symptoms. Symptoms of BPH include frequent urination, a weak or slow urine stream, incomplete bladder emptying, difficulty or delay in starting urination and a urine stream that stops and starts. It’s important to see a physician if any of these
problems arise or persist. Enlarged prostate can also cause loss of productivity and sleep and, in some cases, can lead to depression. According to a survey sponsored by NeoTract, one of the most common symptoms of BPH – interrupted sleep – is also impacting men’s partners. Sixty-four percent of women surveyed who were affected by their partners’ BPH symptoms said it impacts their sleep, too.
Traditional Treatment Options Medication is often the first-line therapy for enlarged prostate, but relief can be inadequate and temporary. Some patients may suffer uncomfortable side effects from the medications, including dizziness, headaches and sexual dysfunction, which can prompt them to quit using the drugs. “Medical and surgical treatments for BPH ranging from medications to surgery have been used for decades with varying degrees of success and side effects,” said Dr. David O. Sussman, DO, FACOS. “Medications can be helpful in relieving symptoms for some men, but patients must continue taking them long-term

to maintain the effects.” The classic alternative for patients who opt against medication is surgery that cuts, heats or removes prostate tissue to open the blocked urethra. Sussman said surgical options such as transurethral resection of the prostate or photovaporization of the prostate are usually effective. However, these options typically require general anesthesia, overnight hospitalization and post-operative catheterization. Surgery can also increase the risk of erectile dysfunction or loss of ejaculation.
An Alternative Treatment Method Another option for men looking to relieve their BPH symptoms without undergoing major surgery or taking long-term BPH medications is the UroLift System treatment,
a minimally invasive procedure that takes less than an hour and doesn’t require any cutting, heating or removal of prostate tissue. A urologist uses the device to lift and move the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way so it no longer blocks the urethra (the passageway that urine flows through). Tiny implants are then used to hold the tissue in place, leaving an unobstructed pathway for urine to flow through normally. Most common side effects are mild-to-moderate and include pain or burning with urination, blood in urine, pelvic pain, urgent need to urinate or the inability to control the urge. The procedure has a low catheter rate and most symptoms resolve within 2-4 weeks after the procedure.
Nearly 4 out of 10 Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes, and it remains the secondleading cause of death for Americans, but nearly half of all cancer cases can be prevented. Research from the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) shows that diet, exercise and weight play a critical role in cancer prevention. “Making changes in what you eat, being physically active and maintaining a healthy weight have strong and clear links to your risk for cancer,” said Alice Bender, MS, RDN and director of nutrition programs at AICR. “We know from decades of research and a thorough review of the science that there are simple things we can all do to reduce our risk.” To live a cancer-preventive lifestyle, consider taking these 10 steps recommended by the scientific experts at AICR: Be a healthy weight. Higher body fat can be a cause of many cancers. Try to stay at a healthy weight and avoid weight gain as you get older. Be physically active. Incorporate moderate physical activity into your daily life through steps like walking more and sitting less. Eat a diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, fruits and beans. Make these foods a major part of your diet. Limit consumption of “fast foods” and other processed foods high in fat, starches or sugars. Cut down on processed foods to help control calorie intake and maintain a healthy weight. Limit consumption of red and processed meat. Eat no more than three portions of red meat per week, and little – if any – processed meat. Limit consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks. Don’t drink sugar-sweetened drinks, which contribute to weight gain. Choose water instead, when possible. Limit alcohol consumption. For preventing cancer, it’s best not to drink alcohol. Do not use supplements for cancer prevention. Aim to meet nutritional needs through diet alone. For mothers, breastfeed your baby, if you can. Breastfeeding is good for both mother and baby. After a cancer diagnosis, follow these recommendations, if you can. Cancer survivors are encouraged to continue following these guidelines. Refraining from smoking, avoiding other exposure to tobacco and limiting sun exposure are also important in reducing cancer risk.

Rodeo action returns for 69th year By Don Gronning Of The Miner
T
he biggest weekend of the summer will kick off Thursday, with the carnival in town ready for action Thursday, June 21, followed by the 69th annual Newport Rodeo Friday and Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Rodeo president Ray Hanson says getting the carnival back was a pleasant surprise. “It’s great,” he says. The Rodeo Parade will take place Saturday, along a different route this year because of construction on the Highway 41 bridge in Idaho. In normal years, trucks can be re-routed on Highway 41, instead of down Union Street, which is usually turned into a two-way road. For this year and next, the parade will leave Stratton Elementary as usual, turn left on Calispel to First Street and then jog to continue on Caplispel. It will take the rounded corner on Spruce Street to Spokane Avenue, and then head all the way to Fourth Street and end at Stratton Elementary. It’s the same route the Newport Homecoming parade takes in the fall. The rodeo association is still taking applications for parade entries. Visit newportrodeo.weebly.com. Last year was the first year for the rodeo dance. “It was a success,” Hanson says, and will be held again this year. The outdoor dance will start immediately after the rodeo near the beer garden Saturday night. It will conclude at 1 a.m. Hanson said that the adult section is fenced off but last year quite a few youngsters were able to listen to the music outside the fenced off area. This year’s band is Texas Twister. 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 Danger Dave Whitmoyer of Helena, Mont., will entertain and the Skagit Valley Rein Riders Drill Team is returning with their drill team pyrotechnics. 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 360-7701180 to participate. There will also be a stick horse race for youngsters Saturday during the Festivities in the Park, along with a host of other activities. Stick horses can be purchased for a $1 at Petroglyph Printing, The Miner Newspaper or the day of the event at the city park. Kids can decorate them how they like at home or at the park with the assistance of CREATE. Age groups are 3 to 5, 6 to 9 and 10 to 12. There will be prizes for fastest horse and best decorated horse in each category. Races start at 3 p.m. in the park. Hanson says the stick horse finals will be held during Saturday’s rodeo performance. The event is sponsored by the Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce. 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 ends at Newport City Park around noon, when the third 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 See rodeo, 12C

2018 Newport Rodeo Queen Faith Jones
H
ello everyone! My name is Faith Jones and I am honored to be your 2018 Newport Rodeo Queen. I recently graduated from Newport High School and I have lived in Newport my entire life. I have been going to the Newport Rodeo since I was a month old. From as far back as I can remember, it has been a dream of mine to become the Newport Rodeo Queen. It’s my goal to represent the Newport Rodeo Association with pride and give little girls and young ladies a great role model. I strive to always be a very well-rounded individual. I have been a member of 4-H for years, getting to compete at State in gaming and placing second in the International Flag race on my family’s calf roping/breakaway horse. I work hard to maintain good grades in school, taking math and science classes that will help me further my career goals of going into veterinary medicine. I am a member of HOSA Future Health Professionals and have been serving as the Region 1 Vice President. This year I was also the president of our NHS Honor Society Club and was chosen as the Soroptimist Girl of the Month for September. I used to play sports, like basketball and track, but gave those up to focus on my roping skills. Rodeo has been a part of my life since the day I was born and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I started out traveling to rodeos where my dad would compete in tie down roping and then transitioned to entering my first junior rodeo. Back then I competed in a variety of events such as barrels, poles, goat tying, steer daubing and breakaway roping. Last year I began competing in breakaway in the Pro West Rodeo Association and I am excited to continue competing throughout this season as well. 2018 is going to be an incredible year and I am beyond excited to begin traveling across the Inland Northwest representing the Newport Rodeo Association and the Newport community. Please bring the whole family to the Newport Rodeo, either as competitors or spectators, and enjoy the fantastic show brought to you by our dedicated, tireless team of volunteers. Nothing beats the unity and pride you feel hearing our Newport crowd joining together to sing our National Anthem. I hope to see there!

VOTE FRED ZAKAR P.U.D. COMMISSIONER #1
(Non Partisan)
Paul A. Hillestad
he late Paul A. Hillestad, who passed away in Spokane last July at the age of 93, played an integral part of the Newport Rodeo for many years.
Paul served as the rodeo’s Secretary/Treasurer for more than 30 years. Always proud of his community and very civic-minded, he loved his long-running association with the PRCA and the Pend Oreille Rodeo Association. The June rodeo was always an annual highlight for Paul and his family. Paul, who was honored as the Grand Marshall of the Newport Rodeo in 2002, liked to call the Newport Rodeo “the best little rodeo in the Northwest.” The longtime accountant for the Pend Oreille Public Utility District enjoyed handling the fiscal responsibilities for the rodeo. It meant he always got a police escort. Paul didn’t plan to continue his association with the rodeo as long as he did, but when you’re good at what you do, people take notice. When he decided to retire from his secretary/ treasurer’s post, the rodeo association had other ideas. They bribed him with a new pair of cowboy boots. “I wore those boots a lot…I had them half-soled several times.”

Grand Marshal Newport School District Employees
T
he Newport School District (NSD) employees are honored to serve as the Grand Marshal’s this year in the Newport Rodeo parade. NSD is currently serving approximately 1,065 students in our community and hope to continue providing excellent programs and quality education to our families and students. One of the ways in which we can assure we do this is by maintaining educators that care and nurture our community, such as Pam Nichols. Mrs. Nichols started with NSD in 1984 and just finished her 34th year as an employee with our district! She is a stellar example of how committed, dedicated, and loyal our educators are to serving our students and families. NSD also has made improvements in the past few years by being dedicated to promotion of character traits in all of our buildings. You may notice that at the high school we
have pillars known as the Grizzly Way which is a set of behaviors we hope our students emulate at school, home, and work, and in athletics. Sadie Halstead Middle School gives out the Big Elephant and the Super Grizz! awards to those showing exemplary character traits. Finally, Stratton Elementary promotes character building through awarding students the Super Stratton Citizenship Award. We hope to build respectful, kind, intelligent, and ethical citizens in our district, and moreover, hope our character building programs are making a difference in the lives of our students. We are proud to serve our community, parents, students, and district. The fact that our community charges us with the task to: Support, Educate, and Inspire- Every Griz, Every Day, is not a duty we take lightly. We are the home of the Grizzlies and honored to serve you!
CERTAIN BENCHMARKS OF INNOVATION HAVE TRULY CHANGED THE INDUSTRY. Aerocet floats are among those. Our floats are designed better, made smarter and last longer. With hybrid composite materials you get “on the step” faster, can carry more cargo and they’re FAA certified. When you’re ready to take off, we’re here to elevate the experience.

kids, including Flamingo ring toss, bean bag toss, paper airplane making and flying led by a local Boy Scout troop, sidewalk chalk for people to create colorful sidewalk art, Bungee Trampoline rides and a Photo Booth. The everpopular Chicken Poop Bingo returns with a 50/50 cash prize to the winner. Spots on the board are $2 a piece. (A story in last week’s issue of The Miner incorrectly stated that silly string tag is free. The cost is $1 per can. We regret any confusion.) “Newport Rodeo Weekend has been considered by myself and many other’s to be a holiday for our community,” says Micki Brass, organizer of Festivities in the Park and Newport/Priest River Rotary Club member. “It is a time for everyone to gather to view the parade, spread out blankets in the City Park to hear local musicians, eat good food, and take home a treasure from one of the craft vendors. Then as evening approaches everyone heads into the rodeo grounds to be wrapped up in the roar of the crowd.” To accompany Festivities in the Park, there are 30 craft and non-profit vendors and live music will begin at 11:30 a.m. going until 6 p.m. Performers include Larry Sauer, Skoo-
kum Creek Music Company, Trout Pond Sammy and Spawn and country music singer Devon Wade. “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 three 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. The water park will also be open. 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 Faith Jones of Newport. The Newport School District will be honored as Grand Marshalls of the rodeo parade. In addition to the rodeo events, the Skagit Rein Riders drill team will perform during both performances. Rodeo tickets are available in advance at Earl Insurance Newport, Seeber’s, Safeway, Family Foods, Mountain West Bank, Owen’s, Selkirk Ace, Idaho Rigging, Oldtown Hardware, Priest River Ace, and North 40 Outfitters in Mead, Sandpoint, East Trent in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene.
