Getting to know Duxbury BY CANEEL JOHNSON OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – It was barely three minutes into the ride along on Thursday, June 21 when Newport Chief of Police Mark Duxbury noticed a woman driving without her seatbelt on. She had kids in the car and he wanted to make sure they were securely buckled. Most people who disregard their seatbelt are not adamant about their children wearing theirs, he said. “I am very vigilant about child restraints,” Duxbury said. Most traffic accidents happen within three miles of the driver’s home. They are too comfortable and tend to think they don’t need safety belts, Duxbury learned from experience supervising a traffic unit in Tracy, Calif. The 4-year-old was not properly buckled. Duxbury gave the child a sticker from the roll of honorary police badge stickers he keeps in his cruiser for just such a purpose. Duxbury cited the mother for failing to wear her seatbelt as a reminder to keep her children buckled, but did not cite her for the child’s violation. “I am starting to get to know the patterns around town, the traffic patterns, the trouble spots, and the places that are quiet,” says Duxbury. Traffic violations were the biggest problem in Newport when Duxbury first arrived. The Pend Oreille County Sheriff’s Office was spread too thin to properly regulate drivers. As a result people were speeding and failing to stop at stop signs, Duxbury explained. “Speeding is the No. 1 way in which law abiding citizens hurt or kill one another,” Duxbury says. One of the things Duxbury did upon being em-

The Newport City Park was full of people Saturday during the Newport/Priest River Rotary Club’s Festivities in the Park, which included the stick horse races put on by the Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce. Kids bought horses for $1, and decorated them, either at home or at the park, courtesy of Create Arts Center. They then raced the horses. Prizes were awarded for the best decorated horse and the fastest racers. The finals were held in the Newport Rodeo Arena Saturday night.

The Boys on the Lake

Blakeslee file lacks underage drinking incident

Unique ducks find new home on Diamond Lake BY SOPHIA ALDOUS OF THE MINER

DIAMOND LAKE – “Hey boys, how are you?” Diane Lundgren asks, stepping into her back yard, holding a plastic grocery bag. The boys to whom she is referring step briskly from the water behind her Diamond Lake home and hurry toward her. The “boys” in question are four Indian runner ducks, all male, that Lundgren received from a friend three months ago. What sets them apart from other ducks is their erect posture when they stand, and how they run, not waddle, to Lundgren’s side. “I call them pencil ducks,” Lundgren says. “Or ‘My boyfriends on the lake.’” Indian Runners are a special

breed of domestic duck imported into Europe from the East Indies. They stood out from the flock due to their upright position and efficient egg-laying abilities. They were referred to as ‘penguin ducks’ by Dutch explorers and some of the early importers. According to Lundgren, her friend Charlie gave the ducks to her after she told Lundgren that the males were pestering her females. “I was so touched, because I loved going to Charlie’s and watching them (Indian Runners),” says Lundgren. “Their movements are so funny, but so graceful at the same time. They are low maintenance and a lot of joy. Nowhere near as much work as a dog.” The four drakes (male ducks)

were given names by Lundgren’s grandchildren. Being girls, they wanted to give the ducks feminine names. Lundgren advised them that she would like the ducks to be gender specific. Hence the monikers Horsey, Michael, Sven, and Kristoff were bestowed on the brown and white waterfowl. “Horsey is definitely the leader; you see he runs the show,” Lundgren says. “Sven is the most affectionate. None of them are quite to this point yet, but I think he’ll be the first to let me pick him up and pet him. That’s my pipe dream, anyway.” Even though the ducks aren’t quite lap animals, anyone watching can tell that Lundgren is their person. She says she can tell the

No reprimand for early 2000s case BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Probably the worst incident in Pend Oreille County Sheriff candidate Glenn Blakeslee’s career didn’t show up in a public records request for “any discipline action” involving Blakeslee. Blakeslee stopped a carload of teenagers in the early 2000s, Blakeslee said. They had been drinking and Blakeslee didn’t take further action beyond the stop. They later were in an automobile wreck that night that resulted in injuries, he said. Blakeslee was placed on probation and wasn’t allowed to instruct deputies for a year, he said. That was when Jerry Weeks was sheriff. When asked about it, the Pend Oreille

DUXBURY: Low level property theft, drugs top crimes in town FROM PAGE 1A

ployed was to crack down on traffic violations. He set up speed traps at both ends of town to catch people who did not slow down as they entered town, and he paid close attention to how people stopped at stop signs. The other two big crimes that plague Newport are low-level property theft and drugs, specifically methamphetamines. While there is no doubt that nationally opioids are a huge problem, Duxbury has found that the majority of the drugs he has encountered here have been meth. “It is such a small town that people forget and get a false sense of security,” Duxbury said about the property theft. “They leave their property out in the open, vehicles unsecured, garage door open.” The second stop Duxbury made was to a know problem trouble spot on Cass Street. Many people of ill reputed backgrounds have been seen hanging out there. There have been at least two stolen vehicles recovered from the property, and many arrests have been made for everything from theft to having warrants. Duxbury had run the license plate of a car parked out front earlier that day, and it had come back that the license plate did not match the description of the car. After questioning the residents of the house, it was ascertained that it was a clerical error. However, there was a man there who was on

probation and not supposed to be on the premises. His probation officer was notified and the man was told to report in. On Wednesday, June 20, Duxbury wrote up a warrant to search the RV of a man suspected of breaking into a local retails store. The warrant was to recover clothing seen being worn by the suspect during the robbery. The man stole flowers from the front of the store, broke a window to enter the premises, and was scared off by the alarm. Duxbury served as an officer for 26 years, and retired as a captain from the Tracy Police Depart-

ment in California. Duxbury came to Newport to escape the heat of California. “I love this area, this is where I wanted to retire,” Duxbury says. “My wife and I bought our property two years ago. We came up every summer and stayed in our RV. “I just couldn’t stand the summers any more,” Duxbury said. When Duxbury took the position, he was required to take a two-week equivalency class to brush up on the differences in law between California and Washington. He was also required to take a polygraph and a psychological

evaluation. Duxbury is planning for the future and making friends. Two children flagged him down as he was driving by. He stopped and gave them both a sticker. He had an incident with the boy at school earlier in the month, and the boy made sure to let him know he was keeping out of trouble. Duxbury plans to have “Coffee With Cops” after the Fourth of July so that people can come out and get to know the police officers. (See separate story.) “The police force is an extension of the community,” Duxbury said. “We

can’t do our job without assistance from the people.” Duxbury wants people to feel like they can approach the officers. He wants people to know they are there to help. Officer Raul Lopez is planning on starting a program that would reward children for wearing a helmet when they ride their bike. Liz Krizenesky, the county elections supervisor, is thrilled with Duxbury. “He is doing a great job,” Krizenesky said. “He is making a big difference. I look forward to another year of him making a difference.”

ducks about by their markings. Every morning she comes out to the lake with her coffee and her “boys” aren’t far behind. They put themselves to bed every evening in a small straw lined pen that Lundgren set up in the back yard next to the house. “They do have natural predators like owls, hawks, eagles, stuff like that,” she says. “My cats actually like them and leave them alone. I thought there might be problems there, but there isn’t. We’ll see what happens when it gets to summer time and people start coming out to the lake with their dogs.” There was worry on Lundgren’s part when she acquired the ducks that their quacking and roaming might disturb the neighbors, but the opposite has happened. The ducks run off the geese that try to occupy the docks (“Except when the geese are having their chicks, then they refuse to be run off,” Lundgren says) and their quacking is so quiet that it’s almost a murmur. There’s also the added benefit that they eat slugs and grasshoppers, all though Lundgren makes sure they are properly fed with bird food and the occasional treat. “All my neighbors seem to like them; I haven’t received any complaints so far,” Lundgren says. “I didn’t want to be that person that brings a nuisance pet into the neighborhood and makes everyone annoyed, but people seem to enjoy them as much as I do.”

Hospital Foundation golf tournament draws record donations BLANCHARD – June 15th’s Fore! the Health of It! Golf Tournament scrambled 112 players for the Newport Hospital and Health Services Foundation’s 11th annual fundraiser and raised more than $25,000, smashing last year’s fundraising record by $2,500. The event was held at StoneRidge Golf Course and included an 18-hole scramble, awards ceremony and dinner. Despite the 2017 rained-out tournament, the 28 foursomes were ready to go and played through only 15 minutes of showers and hail. 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. “The Fore! the Health of It! Golf Tournament has become a pillar event for hospital vendors, employees and community members to support NHHS Foundation programs,” Marketing and Foundation Director Jenny Smith said. “Thanks to the extreme generosity of the many people who attend and sponsor, we are able to make a significant difference in our community and district programs.” Platinum event cosponsors Kalispel Tribe of Indians, Northern Quest Resort and Casino, and Kilgore Construction, Inc. were well-represented, joining 17 additional sponsors, StoneRidge members, and community golfers.

Newport Rodeo a huge success

e just completed the biggest weekend of the year in Newport, with the successful Newport Rodeo. The two-day rodeo was bolstered by a four-day carnival, a parade and Festivities in the Park on Saturday. Countless man and woman hours go into such a huge event, and the work paid off. The rodeo stands were hopping both Friday and Saturday night. The park and rodeo grounds were packed Saturday, with kids enjoying games and rides, adults enjoying a frosty brew, lots of live music, food and good will. This is small town America at its best and this community should be proud. The most rewarding part of the weekend was seeing the droves of people coming out to enjoy all the work that went into rodeo weekend. Planning for this weekend takes months. We bet plans for next year’s rodeo are already underway. And it’s all done for the benefit of the community. The Newport Rodeo is a kind of beginning to the local festival season. Next up in late July we have Priest River Timber Days and Down River Days in Ione. The Pend Oreille and Bonner counties fairs are in August, and the Affair on Mainstreet brings crowds to Metaline Falls Labor Day weekend. And next week there are fireworks displays galore to celebrate the birth of our nation. It’s a good time to live here in the Pend Oreille River Valley, so get out and enjoy it. And we’ll see you at the rodeo next year.

If you want to comment only to our writers and editors, let us know that you do not want your comment published.

yo u r o p i n i o n We’re too fearful To the editor, Years ago, at FDR’s inauguration, he famously said, in the depths of the great depression, that “we have nothing to fear but fear itself.” It seems at the present time we are surrounded by things that promote our fear. Take the commercials we hear and see on radio and TV. So many of them are based on making us fearful – we fear that our teeth are not white enough, that we need more vitamins, that we have body odor, that our clothes are not clean enough. And our country also is awash with fear. There is so much reporting of violence across the country that we fear to leave our homes. We fear when we travel, we are reminded always of terrorists and their threats. To “keep us safe” we are subjected to long lines at airports and searches of our belongings and our persons. Some people have told me they are even afraid to go to grocery stores or theaters. Fear itself seems to be eroding our way of life. Of course we do have to be cautious, but not fearful. As Americans, as humans, we must learn to live carefully, but not with fear. Living in fear is not really living. -Ruth Calkins Newport

July 4th and citizen rights To the editor, As July 4th approaches, I think about the courage and sacrifice of our ancestors whose fight for a voice in government led to the birth of our democracy. “No Taxation Without Representation!” “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” From page 2 of the US Citizenship and Immigration Services Citizen Almanac: “Citizenship is a privilege that offers the extraordinary opportunity to be a part of the governing process.” “In the United States, the power of government comes directly from the people. To protect freedom and liberty, U.S. citizens must participate in the democratic process and in their communities.” Fast forward to today. What has happened

to citizens’ rights and voice? We are faced with the consequences of a major industrial polluter being thrust into our Newport community and environment – without citizen involvement. State and local officials have orchestrated and facilitated this undemocratic process; and the silicon smelter will alter our livelihoods for the foreseeable future. Secretive land deals between Pend Oreille County (POC) and the PUD and suspected mishandling of funds between the State Commerce Department, PacWest/HiTest, and the Economic Development Council (EDC) have come to light and are being challenged. County Board “Executive” (nonpublic) sessions have been frequent. The EDC monthly meetings/locations are not posted, and citizen groups are not allowed on the council board. Public discussion of the smelter; what could be the most significant aspect of Newport’s history, is discouraged or not allowed during county, city, and EDC meetings. Unfortunately, other communities across our country are facing citizen rights struggles similar to what we are facing here in Newport. I wonder what our courageous ancestors would be thinking. -John M. Endres Newport

Newport Cemetery looks great To the editor, I want to give a big thank you to the Newport Cemetery. I made a quick trip to Newport last weekend to honor the baby girl we buried 30 years ago. I could not have been more impressed with the way the cemetery grounds were kept. Good weather does help with keeping the grass green, but it’s been several weeks since Memorial Day and everything was still trimmed and the grounds were clean. The nice paved roads are a great improvement too. Knowing how hard keeping up a cemetery can be, I just wanted you to know the hard work is appreciated. -Gary Layton Yakima

Newport Hospital staff has soul To the editor, Safe and happy at home I discovered a very red color in my stool.

Well let’s go to the Emergency Room and test their mettle. I had not pestered them for two years. After losing a lot of blood, I was placed in an ambulance and sent to Holy Family in Spokane where five days later I was released. From there I had oral surgery. In swift succession nature decided that it would be fun to flood our town and all adjacent areas including our home of course. Then I had an accident, whereby I hit the ground in an unfair fight and the gravel won – broken femur. Back to ER in Newport; this time to Sacred Heart where I had surgery and was returned for rehabilitation at Newport for a week. My wife didn’t look too good, after tending to my needs and those of a normal household, where the sprinklers wouldn’t sprinkle, the phones wouldn’t ring, the garage door opener wouldn’t open and the river kept rising at the rate of a foot a minute. Now, we are back home. The river has receded; I have to learn to walk again. I have gadgets I didn’t know existed to pick items from the floor, pull on my socks, etc. Now it takes a cool hour to get dressed. Two years ago I wrote an article in which I enumerated the high quality of hospital care that the citizens of our county have accessible. These are the most humane, dedicated, competent, loving, smiling people I have ever met. So please take my word, don’t get sick; but if you must, do it in Newport, Wash. They have soul, and I have a ton of gratitude for them. -Danny Motola Usk

is like national government, separate branches of executive and legislative powers. Town mayors and town councils have separate functions. Cusick recently had their monthly council meeting, and then last week, the mayor and clerk had a non-public, non-council meeting of their own. It may have been purely executive or administrative, but it left out the public and council from the actions taken. Another change requires agencies (Towns) to designate on their agenda all “action items” to be voted on during their meetings, and not to vote on any other items unless an emergency is declared. The public was assuming items were “informational,” but then votes were taken, before any chance for public input. Towns have several ways to skirt the issues, short-cutting the public and moral open decision making. All we can do is keep trying for better conduct. The records custodian “shuffle,” going from one official to another, or having one official require a special form to be signed, another requiring advance payment maybe, another to then find the records, another yet copy them, still another approved release, then without a responsible official cover letter, slowly getting some or a bundle of records to the requestor by hand-out or worse-yet by certified, return receipt requested, costing time and money. Idaho changed that. -Duane Schofield Cusick

Idaho made open meetings law better

To the editor, America should have evolved beyond racist nationalism, but now it’s back and winning elections for Republicans. Physical borders no longer isolate Americans from the rest of the world. We cannot wall ourselves into our own cultural prison. Look at North Korea as a shining example of blind nationalism and racial purity. Our current immigration crisis is just plain old racism. Brown people are coming for your jobs and to rape your women. The President used “infest” to describe immigrants. Brown people are being dehumanized and could now be seen as something to exterminate.

To the editor, There is a struggled balance between local government efficient conduct and simultaneously keeping the public meaningfully involved. For example, new laws in Idaho effective July 1, 2018, have the effect of requiring more openness under either the public records law or the open meeting law. Workshops revealed both right ways and wrong ways to go about this, somewhat humorously at times. One change means that boards or commissions created by executive order of the governor now will fall under the Idaho Open Meetings Law. Local government

There is a new acupuncturist in town By Caneel Johnson Of The Miner

NEWPORT – Dr. Lise Harrington was called to the healing profession at 8 years old in Okinawa, Japan. Now she has her own chiropractic/acupuncture practice here in Newport at 601 Hwy. 20. “I loved the idea of healing people with my hands,” Harrington said. Her father was in the military and they lived in Okinawa twice, where she fell in love with all things Japanese. Her mother suffered from chronic pain caused from multiple accidents, and went to a chiropractor and acupuncturist there. That is where Harrington first became fascinated with Chinese medicine, which focuses on the whole body using

pressure points to manipulate the flow of Qi, nutrition, digestion, and mental health to promote health by stimulation blood flow. “I love Chinese medicine, it teaches you a whole new way to look at the body,” Harrington says. After returning to the United States with her family and graduating high school she joined the army. Her love of the Japanese language pushed her to pursue a career that might allow her to return to Okinawa some day. She never made it, but the GI bill she received from her four years in the Air Force allowed her to pay for her college and follow her passion for Eastern medicine. Harrington spent a total of 13 years attending school in Portland, Ore. “I love to study,” said Harrington.

She graduated with a degree in chiropractics from Western States Chiropractic College, which is now the University of Western States, in 1996. She went on to graduate from the National School of Natural Medicine, 1999. She spent 30 years in Portland with her own chiropractic and acupuncture clinic. She decided to move to Newport two years ago because of the high cost of property in Portland. Her husband retired, and they found the property in Blanchard for a fraction of what it would have been in Ore. “We Love it here,” Harrington Said. They are both avid equestrians and found property on the boundary of the state forest. Harrington made the seven hour one way com-

mute to and from Portland every week for more than two years, before joining the Bliss Chiropractic Healthcare Center in January 2018. “My patients are like family to me,” Harrington says. “I am looking forward to expanding that family

here.” Harrington is trained in the dry needle method of acupuncture, which uses only the needle to manipulate Qi and promote blood flow. In the last twenty years acupuncture has been expanding to include injection therapy, which is

the injection of vitamins, herbs, saline, and other homeopathic remedies into pressure points and injury sites to promote faster healing. Harrington will be attending a four-day medical conference to become certified with this new aspect of acupuncture.

Letters From Page 4A

That’s how racism operates. President Tweet enforced our immigration laws by separating kids from their ‘illegal’ parents. It was supposed to send a message to racist Trump voters to keep supporting him. You are racist if you support a political candidate based on their racist tweets, statements and policies. Immigration has become a dog whistle to fearful old white voters who need someone or something to blame for their life’s inadequacies. White people broke into my home and stole my truck and guns. Brown people pick the cherries I buy and eat. We don’t need to fear MS-13 gangs in our community. We have plenty of white thieves to keep the local illegal drug/theft industry going. A crime commit-

ted by a white person is a crime, but the same crime committed by an illegal brown person is somehow much worse. I struggle everyday with my racism taught to me in childhood. On the other hand my grandkids are colorblind and play with children of other races at city parks in their community. Hopefully before the grandkids become adults, President Tweet and all his racist supporters will die of old age cleansing our country its current racism revival. -Pete Scobby Newport

Dems shouldn’t write any voter off To the editor, I was impressed with the great number of delegates and guests who attended the recent Democratic State Convention held in Wenatchee. More impressive still were the

elected officials and candidates who spoke leaving a very positive impression on me. But state Sen. Manka Dhingra of the 45th Legislative District was the most memorable because, through a personal story, she made a very important point that I don’t hear often enough. While doorbelling she spoke with a self identified Trump supporter and over the course of several minutes she listened to his concerns and she conveyed her beliefs about our country and her values. After this exchange the man walked over to the car where a volunteer for the senator was waiting, took a bumper sticker and said, “I’m voting for her.” Sen. Dhingra explained to the convention crowd that we should not write anyone off because most people can recognize what is right and good. -Jeremy Street Cheney

Reptile Man comes to Newport Library

cott Peterson has been the Reptile Man for over 30 years. He was driving through the desert clearing snakes off the highway when he had a vision of himself sharing his love of reptiles with children. He quit teaching biology two weeks later. Peterson brought a dozen reptiles to the Newport Library on Wednesday, June 20. The crowd favorite, and his personal favorite is Lucy the alligator. He brought a variety of snakes and lizards as well as a tortoise. He made sure to clarify all the rumors surrounding the animals, including informing everyone that no one has died from a rattlesnake bite in the United States in 60 years. Colleen Larkoski, Newport Library branch supervisor, organized the event.

Sullivan Creek Road reopens NEWPORT – Colville National Forest officials have lifted the temporary road closure that has been in place since June on the upper portion of Forest Road 2220 (Sullivan Creek Road). The road has been closed due to a washout and debris slide. Due to the strong spring runoff experienced this year, additional temporary road closures across the Colville National Forest may be necessary into the summer months. For maps and specific descriptions of temporarily closed roads, contact your local Colville National Forest office or go online at the Colville National Forest website www.fs.usda.gov/colville. For more information specific to Sullivan Creek Road, contact the Newport Ranger Station at (509) 447-7300.

Patriots, preparedness and animals IONE – Emergency preparedness and privacy were brought up at the June 6 Ione Town Council meeting. Council member John Reddinger shared a conversation with a member of a local patriotic group. He said the group is planning for an emergency and wanted information about the airport, such as runway length, which is 6,416 feet, the nine hangars, and the personal information of each pilot. Reddinger said pilot information was not given. Also, he said that concrete was being poured at Stones’ hangar with electrical installation to follow. The airport beacon is also repaired. Council member Kathleen Turpin said the Ione Baptist Church requested work for their August volunteers. Versatile hot patch project is on hold for completion of other projects. Clerk Sandy Hutchinson said recent hire

Donna Lea has decided not to pursue a career as town deputy clerk. Mayor Charles Spears shared the hiring pool was limited. Council was asked to spread the word about the job opening and the position will be posted. Spears asked council if they remembered the year the sewer line was paved over. Council replied they remember the situation, but not the year and suggested looking at the minutes. In other business, Spears said that resident Pam Barnhart wanted to share with council about the animal shelter, saying she thinks the building is labeled incorrectly, since the town does not have an animal shelter. Kathy Hershey said she has seen several stray dogs. Council discussed the various uses of the building and will consider the request.

BLAKESLEE FROM PAGE 1A

County Sheriff’s Office Civil Deputy Dawn Taylor said the event didn’t involve discipline, so no records were provided. The response to the Blakeslee records request was a little unusual. The request originally only

ally Locally d Owned & Operated

turned up a December 2002 oral reprimand for being late to a lateral neck restraint training. According to the reprimand, Blakeslee had to be called at home to be reminded to attend the class. Blakeslee said he forgot about the class and arrived 45 minutes late. He

was advised to keep a calendar for training. About a month after The Miner received the first response to the public records request, the Sheriff’s Office found another record. “Through further investigation into our records we found one other disciplinary incident related to Sergeant Blakeslee that a previous administration had failed to file properly,” the letter read. Blakeslee was 311 W. Walnut suspended one day Newport, N WA (509) 447-3933 without pay in January 2004 for violating the Sheriff’s Office attention to duty policy. “I find that Deputy

Blakeslee failed to appropriate action in this case by bringing a highly intoxicated person to the public lobby of the Sheriff’s Office and dropping him off unsupervised. Deputy Blakeslee’s failure to perform his duty not only put himself, but two correctional officers, the suspect and possibly two dispatchers in jeopardy,” Undersheriff Mike Cress wrote in a memorandum to Blakeslee. Blakeslee said he talks about the underage drinking incident when teaching young deputies. He says he uses it as an example of what not to do.

Oregon cowgirl takes All Around at Newport Rodeo By Don Gronning Of The Miner

NEWPORT – It was a woman who won the All Around buckle at this year’s Newport Rodeo. Jade Crossly of Hermiston, Ore., won $1,502, including $812 for winning second in the breakaway roping and $681 for fourth in the barrel racing. She beat Francis Marchand of Omak, who won the bareback and saddle bronc riding and Jacob Stacy of Moses Lake who won the steer wrestling and split second and third in the saddle bronc riding. Marchand collected $1,400, including $674 in the bareback riding and $725 in the bronc riding. He was marked a 79 in the bareback riding, winning by four points over Christoph Muigg of Hazelton, Idaho. He won the bronc riding with a 78-point ride. Priest River’s Caleb Nichols won fourth and $181 for a 72-point ride. Stacy won the steer wrestling with a 5.21 second run for $885 and

tied for second in the saddle bronc riding with a 74-point ride for $453. Stacy won $1,338 total. Bull rider Jordan Paddock of Colfax won the most money at the rodeo, $2,492. He was the only contestant to make a qualified ride in the bull riding, winning with a 68-point ride. He received such a big check because he received all the money since no one rode. Jordan Minor of Hermiston, Ore., won the barrel racing with a time of 16.331. She won $1,119, finishing ahead of Alex Bliss of Spokane, who ran a 16.356 and won. She won $973 for second. Breakaway roper Bailey Patterson of Pendleton, Ore., won the event with a 2.79 second run. She collected $982. Crossly roped her calf in 3.24 seconds for second. A Canadian duo combined to win the team roping with a 5.53 second run. Cole Lambert headed for Tim Pellam, both from Langley, B.C. They pocketed $825 each. Justin

Omak’s Francis Marchand won the bareback riding with this 79-point ride aboard Chicken Feathers during the Friday night performance. He also won the saddle bronc riding.

Farber of Battle Ground, Wash., and Calgary Smith of Adams, Wash., won second with a 5.80 run they earned $682 each. A pair of Ellensburg

ropers finished first and second in the tie down roping. Kass Kayser won the event with a 10.07 second run. He won $825, more that two seconds

faster that Jason Minor, who won $682 for his 12.45 second run. The rodeo ended on a sour note when the last bull of the rodeo Satur-

day broke his back when bucking. The animal was taken from the arena and euthanized, according to stock contractor Mel Layton.

METALINE FALLS – Madison Moorhead and Kory Enyeart will go to Mason, Mich., in mid July to compete in the first USA High School Clay Target League National Championships, set for July 12-15. Metaline Falls Gun Club’s entire youth shooting team, the Lead Kings, qualified for the championships, but because of the short notice and quick deadlines, only Moorhead and Enyeart will go. The team is made up of Megan Marshall, Hunter Marshall, TJ Taylor, Gavin Stark, Coby Percival, Enyeart and Moorhead. The gun club will hold a two-day shoot to raise money for the trip this weekend. Shooters of all ages are invited to compete in two days of trapshooting competition at the Lead Kings Shoot-N-Camp Out Saturday and Sunday, June 30-July 1. Saturday, shooters can compete in a 100 bird event comprised of 25 16-yards, 25 20-yard, 25 Wobbles and 25 yards sporting clays. People can sign up as individuals or as a team at no extra charge. The event costs $30 to enter, with awards for the top three youth male, female and teams. The top two adult male and female shooters and the top adult team will also get an award. “After the awards we will roll into playing games, including a 50/50, 27-yard, one shot, on through the evening and shoot under the lights until no one wants to shoot anymore,” Lisa Enyeart said. Sunday the shooting will start at 8 a.m. “We will be selling guaranteed game cards for $30,” Enyeart said. After lunch the 50-bird handicap shoot will take place. “The club will be open Friday afternoon if you want to set up camp early, but no food is available,” says Enyeart. Saturday and Sunday breakfast and lunch will be available and Saturday there will be a potluck barbecue for $7 around 4 p.m. There will also be a silent auction, raffles and games. For questions or if you would like to donate or help out in any way, contact Lisa Enyeart at 509-671-3903 or email metalinefallsgunclub@gmail.com. The gun club is located at 92 Pend Oreille Mine Road. For more information on how to get your high school signed for competition, check out www.usaclaytarget.com.

CUSICK – Final plans are underway for the Cusick All School reunion, set for Saturday, July 14. Anna Bluff Armstrong, chairperson of the organizing committee, outlined several new and creative “happenings” for the day, which will begin with a breakfast at the Usk Community Center from 8-11 a.m. Registration for the reunion will begin at the Adam Wike Gymnasium at noon. “This event will continue a long tradition of five-year reunions that began in 1963,” said Marty Wold, one of the event’s organizers. He said 200-300 people are expected again this year. Plans will include photo opportunities with friends and families. There will be old sports jerseys or cheerleading uniforms for with those that wish to spice up their photo, Armstrong said. There will also be old class pictures, albums and yearbooks from years gone by, guests can attempt to name those yet unidentified. The Kalispel Tribe will be providing snack trays and finger food for those wanting to nibble their way through the annuals and photos. At 3 p.m. the attendees will journey to the county fairgrounds for the car show display for registrants. Those with special needs will also use the same area for parking. Entertainment by local and regional talent will run throughout the day and into the evening. Master of Ceremonies Kent Williams, 1984 alumni and current Mayor of Evanston, Wyo., will lead the introductions and line up the classes for a group picture. The barbecue will begin at 5 p.m. Armstrong says that all former students, staff and friends of the Cusick school system are invited and encouraged to attend. She also said that she is still receiving new registration forms and that the committee members should continue to send registration forms to anyone needing to register or need the email address (cusickalum@ gmail.com). To assist with the head count for meals and name tags people are urged to sign up by July 7.

The program is offered freely, and donations as well as food offerings for the resident nuns and monks are welcomed. The first session begins at 9:45 a.m., potluck lunch is at noon, and the program ends at 3 p.m. Bring food to share for lunch, avoiding onions, garlic, and leeks as well as meat, fish, or chicken.

the United States Army on Feb. 15, 1967. He spent 10 months in training in Fort Carson, Colo., and St. Louis, Mo., before being deployed to Vietnam. During his service in Vietnam, Keith was a LRRP, which stands for Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol. LRRP is a small, heavily armed reconnaissance team that patrols deep in enemy-held territory. There were 10 men in Keith’s unit. Keith never talked much about Vietnam, but he was very proud of the fact that all 10 men in his LRRP unit had returned home alive. These 10 men have kept in contact ever since they were discharged from the service and have had many reunions over the years. Keith received the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal with Bronze Service Star, the Vietnam Campaign Medal with Device 60, and the Combat Infantrymans Badge while in the service and was honorably discharged on Dec. 17, 1968. Keith returned home to Priest River. He then moved to Spokane, Wash. and began working at Caterpillar. In the late 70s, Keith moved to Chattaroy, Wash., to fulfill his life long dream of being a cowboy. Our mom told numerous stories about Keith as a child wearing out the arms of her sofa while riding them like a horse, while he was watching westerns on TV. In the early 80s, Keith retired from Caterpillar and went to college in Montana to become a farrier (blacksmith). On April 23, 1985, Keith’s son Antonio (T.C.) was born. The two became inseparable. Keith passed on his love of horses to T.C. and T.C. began competing in rodeos at age 3. Keith was with him at every competition and then Keith began team roping. Over the years the two of them have brought home hundreds of belt buckles, saddles and cash prizes. The two had already paid their entry fees to team rope together at World Series Team Roping (WSTR) in Las Vegas, Nev., in December of this year. Keith was very proud of this.

rodeoing to Jolena. She has been competing since she was 3 years old and has won many barrel races and is now beginning to team rope.

Even with her own personal health issues, Tammy maintained a positive and optimistic attitude which was an inspiration to countless others. In 1988, Tammy and Jim welcomed their “miracle baby” April Renae. Becoming a mother was an answer to her prayers and she knew no greater love until the birth of her granddaughter Chesney Grace Johnson.

She is survived by her dad Bill Adams, spouse Jim, daughter April (Tyler), stepson Jacob, grandkids Elijah, Zeke, Sam and Chesney, siblings Pat (Heather), Mike, Glo (Cliff), niece Megan, nephews Coleman, Riley, Cameron and Quenten.
