Roxy slated to open at end of month Local movie theater fundraising for renovations By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner

NEWPORT – It’s official. Jason and Brittany Totland, the husband and wife team from Newport, are the new owners of The Roxy, Newport’s only movie theater that has been shuttered for almost two years. “It’s really happening,” says Jason. “There’s still a lot to do.” The couple got the keys to the building Friday, June 30, after purchasing the building through John L. Scott Realty for $200,000. However, the work has just begun. The Totlands are still fundraising via subscriptions and donations for repairs and remodeling. Their goal is to transform the threescreen multiplex back to its original one screen “Grand Theater” format. As of Saturday, July 1 they had reached $4,000 toward their $25,000 goal. “We also have to settle contracts with movie distributors so we know what movies we’re going to show, as well as order popcorn, candy and soda for concessions,” says Jason. Those looking to help can visit The Roxy’s website

Judge Reeves presides with fresh eyes By Don Gronning Of The Miner

NEWPORT – “This is the time and place to conduct court, not meet with clients,” Pend Oreille County Superior Judge Jessica Reeves told defense attorneys in late January. “It is my expectation we will be ready to go when the docket is called into session.” Reeves was in her first month of being a judge and attorneys took notice. “If she wants to be ready to rock and roll when court starts, I don’t blame her,” public defender Dana Kelly said. “But people don’t like change.” Before that, attorneys had routinely met with clients in the courtroom before appearing before a judge. Change is one thing they’re getting with Reeves, who was elected to her first six-year term last fall. She had worked a couple years as a deputy prosecutor in Stevens County, but most of her legal experience has been in family law. So she comes to criminal law with fresh eyes. She isn’t bound to do things the way they have always been done. The changes she’s made haven’t been major, but she has demonstrated her own way of doing things on the bench. One of the changes she made is to do away with bench supervision for felony cases, something she says a Superior Court judge really has no authority to do.

Pend Oreille County Superior Court Judge Jessica Reeves has been on the bench six months. She has made a few changes.

Seed Exchange up and running at Priest Lake Library PRIEST LAKE – Seed exchanges are the latest trend at libraries throughout the nation. They are a new spin on the old tradition of harvesting seeds from your garden and saving them to plant or trade with other gardeners. Priest Lake Public Library recently became part of this movement, after the donation of a card catalog cabinet from the Selkirk Conservation Alliance (SCA), a local non-profit group. The 72-drawer wood cabinet, Up which formerly housed an oldP r i e st fashioned library card catalog at Central Washington UniverLake sity, is now home to packets of Way vegetable, flower, and herb seeds that patrons can take home and Rosemary plant. Yocum The program is part of a growing national movement that promotes the motto, “Borrow seeds, grow plants, share seeds.” Seed saving is exactly what

it sounds like: the practice of preserving seeds from plants in order to grow them next season. Once the growing season is over, harvest seeds from your garden and return them to the library if you wish. Instead of letting open packets of unused seeds languish in the garden shed, gardeners can donate their leftovers to the program. The library accepts all kinds of seed donations; commercially-packaged, heirloom, organic, hybrid, and homegrown saved seed. The focus of this seed library is more on seed sharing, rather than seed saving, but it includes both. Taking seeds from the library for your own personal use is free. “I think it’s great that there’s so much enthusiasm for this program, which started this summer,” Library Director Beverly Richmond said. “The library continues to be innovative with new programs such as this to reach the entire community.” Cheryl Moody, Executive Director of the SCA, came up with the idea of obtaining and donating a card catalog cabinet in which to store the seeds after chatting about the program with Beverly.

“I thought this would be a good educational and community outreach program that fits in well with the SCA’s mission,” Cheryl said, “which is to advocate for the conservation and protection of the natural resources of the Selkirk Mountains; their watershed, forests, plants, lakes, streams, and rivers.” Long-time Priest Lake resident Arelim Steiner donated 147 packets of seeds from the American Society for Medical Missionaries (ASMM), a non-profit organization of which she is the chairperson.

reeves: Law is constantly changing; shackles is an example From Page 1

In bench supervision, the person convicted of a crime and sentenced to a variety of things such as substance use and mental health evaluations and follow-ups and financial obligations, as well as not picking up any new charges, would appear in court and a judge would decide if the person had met the terms of the sentence. Reeves says bringing a person in to see if they’ve complied wastes the person’s time, who may have to miss work, arrange transportation or child care to make the court date and face arrest if they don’t appear in court. If there is a problem with the person complying with all the terms of the sentence, the prosecutor can initiate an action, she said. In the end, she says, unlike District Court, a Superior Court judge simply has no legal authority to compel an appearance by a defendant just to see if they are in compliance. It is up to the prosecutor or the Department of Corrections to bring a person to court they think may not be complying with the terms of their sentence. Another change she insists on is not meeting privately with attorneys, without an opposing attorney present. “Some judges have an open door policy, and nothing prohibits that,” she says. But in her case, she wants the meetings to be on the record and with both sides represented. That really hasn’t been an issue in Pend Oreille County. Reeves also insists defendants address her as “You Honor.” Reeves has sentenced people to electronic home monitoring, something that didn’t happen in Pend Oreille County for felony cases before she started hearing cases. The person sentenced has to pay for the EHM, about $10 a day, so not everyone can afford it. Nor is it appropriate for all crimes she says. But for the right defendant, it could save the county money. Reeves is in the process of gathering data to support a request she wants to make of county commissioners to pay for EHM for indigent defendants. She

thinks $10 a day compared to about $80 a day to be held in jail is a bargain for the county. Six months into her judgeship, Reeves says she loves the job but wasn’t quite aware of all the aspects being a circuit judge for a three county area entailed. “It’s all been a learning curve,” she says. The local attorneys have been good about being patient with her, she says, both in their writing and simply helping her out verbally. “The attorneys have been great,” she says. Public defender Robin McCroskey says she’s known Reeves 15 years. “Jessica’s awesome,” McCroskey says. “She creative and willing to work outside the box to help defendants to succeed.” County Prosecutor Dolly Hunt says any changes Reeves made haven’t been major. “I am unaware of any significant changes made by the court,” Hunt said in an email seeking comments for this story. Hunt says partial confinement is available in limited cases and is suitable in limited circumstances. That speaks to EHM. Regarding meeting with a judge ex-parte, Hunts says the rules of professional conduct prohibit a lawyer from communicating ex parte with a tribunal while a case is pending unless authorized by law or court order. “I am not aware that this has been a problem as we are all aware of ethical obligations to not do so,” Hunt wrote. Hunt didn’t respond to a question about bench supervision. The law is constantly changing, Reeves say. For example in a 6-5 split decision, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in late May that federal pre conviction prisoners should not be shackled in court appearances without an individualized finding of a need for shackling. The 9th Circuit Court ruling applies to federal cases in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Alaska, Montana, Nevada and Hawaii. Before conviction, there is presumption of innocence in all criminal cases and being shackled interferes with the perception, the majority ruled. Defendants have had a long standing right to not appear in shackles before juries. But pre conviction prisoners rou-

tinely appear in state and federal courts for a variety of court actions with their hands and feet shackled to a belly chain. For now state Superior and District court judges will continue to make their make their own decisions on pre trial shackling. “It’s not binding on us because it’s federal,” Reeves says. “But it sent a shock through the system.” Reeves says there are some things she didn’t anticipate. The courthouses in each county are different, for instance. “The Ferry County courthouse doesn’t have a fire alarm,” she says. “Nobody tells you these things.” That will likely be mentioned when a court security committee is established in September. Reeves and fellow Pend Oreille County Superior Court Judge Pat Monasmith hear felony criminal cases in Ferry, Stevens and Pend Oreille County, in addition to family law, youth at risk and juvenile cases. Stevens County is the largest of the three counties. There were 300 felony criminal cases filed last year in Stevens County, compared to 48 for Ferry County and 111 for Pend Oreille County. Each case filed can result in several court proceedings. There were 3,053 Stevens County felony proceedings, 668 in Ferry County and 698 in Pend Oreille County. One case went to trial in Pend Oreille County, eight went to trial in Ferry County and 11 in Stevens County. Of course criminal proceedings aren’t the only proceedings the two Superior judges preside over. While Reeves didn’t hear any cases in 2016, so far this year she and Monasmith have presided over more than 500 proceedings in the first five months of the year. In addition to 234 felony criminal proceedings from 29 charged felony crimes, there have been civil, domestic, probate/guardianship, adoption/parenting, juvenile dependency and juvenile offender proceedings. Reeves says she is enjoying the job, especially the learning. After all, she spent 11 and a-half years in university. “I like learning,” she says.

b r i e f ly Complete Eats helps Washingtonians afford healthy foods OLYMPIA – The Department of Health and Safeway “Kicked-Off” Complete Eats last week, a program that makes fruits and vegetables more affordable for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) customers. Complete Eats rewards customers who purchase fruits and vegetables with SNAP benefits (formerly called Food Stamps) with coupons and rebates. “We are pleased to partner with Safeway to help our most vulnerable kids and families get fresh, accessible and healthful foods,” said John Wiesman, Secretary of Health. “Complete Eats exemplifies how much we can achieve when government and private industry work together.” Shoppers at Safeway who buy at least $10 worth of qualifying fruits and vegetables using their SNAP card and their Safeway Club Card receive a coupon for $5 off their next purchase. Complete Eats is now available at all 150 Safeway locations in Washington, including Newport. Complete Eats is scheduled to run for two years, and is jointly funded by Safeway and Albertsons and DOH’s Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive Grant awarded by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture at the USDA.

NHHS receives ‘Everyday Extraordinary Award’ SEATTLE – Newport Hospitals & Health Services received the Washington State Hospital Association’s 2017 Rural Quality – Everyday Extraordinary Award for its success in their “Surgical Site Infection Prevention Project.” “Washington’s rural hospitals have always been ready to be held to the same standards of their urban and suburban counterparts,” said Jennifer Graves, WSHA Senior Vice President for Patient Safety. “They care deeply about providing top-quality care to their communities, and we are proud to recognize the many caregivers at Newport for their achievement in reducing surgical site infections.” “We take surgical site, and all infections, very seriously,” Newport CEO Tom Wilbur said. “Our multidisciplinary team

did incredible work in identifying areas for improvement to protect patients from contracting surgical site infections.” Although these types of infections have decreased significantly over the process change and adoption of best practices, the goal is always to eliminate them completely, according to a press release. “It was important to the judges that the award winners have measurable results,” said Linda Michel, WSHA Director of Rural Quality. “Newport’s submission and the outcome of the process improvement was extremely impressive, and demonstrates their commitment to safe, effective health care for the communities they serve.” The award recognizes outstanding process improvements efforts by a

rural health care facility. Any rural facility wishing to be considered for the award submitted answers to 10 essay questions. Submissions were blinded and evaluated by a panel of judges from WSHA, the Washington State Department of Health, Qualis and a rural quality leader. Scoring was a point system that included certain number of points for process improvement tools used for data collection, data analysis, identifying the root cause of the process failure, multidisciplinary teamwork, communication and the outcome of the project. The Rural Quality – Everyday Extraordinary Award was presented to Newport at the WSHA & AWPHD 41st Annual Leadership Conference at Campbell’s Resort in Chelan, Wash., on June 27.

Army Corps warns boaters about floating debris SEATTLE – U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ officials warn boaters to be safe and watch out for floating debris on Lake Pend Oreille this summer season. Logs and floating debris have been reported passing through a breach in the shear boom system at Clark Fork Drift Facility. Boaters and the public should take caution. As a reminder, floating and submerged logs and debris can be a safety hazard for boating activities in many waterbodies,

including Lake Pend Oreille. Boaters and people recreating on or in the lake should always take caution for such hazards. Although the Corps tries to reduce the number of floating and submerged logs and debris through use of the Clark Fork drift yard, total elimination of these dangers is not possible. Corps’ officials are planning repairs to the breach at the Clark Ford drift yard; work is expected

Roxy opening good for so many reasons

he collective disappointment when The Roxy Theater closed in Newport nearly two years ago was palpable. Most everyone – residents and tourists alike – were bummed when they realized the Roxy would be no more. The community threw its hands up in air. Someone somewhere should be able to do something to reopen the landmark where so many memories played out for so many people. Not just the movies that were seen there, but the first dates, family nights, school kids out with their friends, the trip to town during family vacations. Well this week the community can let out a collective sigh of relief. Husband and wife duo Jason and Brittany Totland closed the deal on the Roxy Friday, and doors are expected to open by the end of July. The Totlands plan to make the Roxy a onemovie grand theater once more, and show movies that may not be fresh to the box office, but more affordable for both the theater and its patrons. A win-win. We should all celebrate the reopening of a shuttered downtown storefront. And landlords downtown should take note. The Totlands thought outside the “box office” to reopen the Roxy. There are a variety of ways patrons can support the theater. By buying subscriptions or investment packages patrons can not only support their small-town theater, but become a part of its history – a history we hope will last another 70 years at least. There are too many dark storefronts on main street in downtown Newport. With a little creativity and lots of community enthusiasm, the Totlands are doing what we hope other entrepreneurs and property owners will be inspired to do. Thank you Jason and Brittany. You are doing the community a true service.

Motley musings

Random thoughts coming together Happy 4th of July Behind the BBQ, the lake lounging, and all-around good times of the holiday, is the history of the people, our people, that signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, thus starting this fascinating, frustrating, beautiful, weird experiment that we call the United States of America. I feel fortunate to live here, and I hope you and yours do too. Happy 241st! When your opinion of yourself is overruled Soph i E’s “I’m an important person with C HOI C E places to be!” her subconscious petulantly mewled while her legs Sophia thrashed helplessly like an upaldous side down tortoise as she climbed through her apartment window after locking her keys in the house, thus reminding her of her place in the scheme of the universe and that she should really work on her abdominal strength. Accepting your toddler is certifiable From my Facebook friend and former classmate, Jennifer Matney on the real (and sometimes humorous) struggles of parenting: “Jillian went through a phase where she had to wear two different shoes, and one had to be her older sister’s that were much to big. One day a lady said, “Your daughter has two different shoes on.” I said, “Yes, I know.” The stranger inquired with a rather rude tone, “Why?” I replied, “Because she is two, and after days of trying to get her to wear a pair of shoes I finally gave up because only one of us can be insane.” Lets be real here… What internet memes tell us: True love is someone who understands you completely, who sees you for the special star flower that you truly are, who lifts you up on the wings of a dream Pegasus. Real life reminds us: Love means not harboring resentment that your significant other watched the new season of Game of Thrones without you, even though they swore they would not.

Making way for new ideas at Friends of the Library To the editor, We have been pleased to be involved with the Friends of the Library in Newport. We handled the used books sale area for the Friends. The monies generated, from the used books, benefit the activities provided by the library for the children, teenagers, and adults. We happily sorted the donations and restocked the used book area every week and, particularly, looked forward to assisting the patrons. But, we believe it was time to encourage fresh ideas to be implemented. With that in mind, we have passed the baton. If you haven’t had a chance to visit the wonderful branches of the Pend Oreille County Library System, please take the time. You will find a treasure trove of books, DVDs, CDs, computers, information, activities, and expert help.

Thank you to all of the patrons that supported the used books sales area, via donations and purchases. Also, we want to thank Mandy Walters, library director, and her wonderful staff. -Anita King and Carol Lindburg Newport

Poor children do deserve our support To the editor, Please allow me to share my life story as it relates to providing healthcare for poor children. I was 11 years old in 1961 sitting in the back of my sixth grade classroom. My uncorrected vision was 20/400 and I had no glasses. I had hearing loss in both ears from untreated ear infections. I couldn’t see or hear the teacher and she clearly thought I was stupid or what we call today – learning disabled. I was being raised by my grandmother and my grandfather had died five years earlier. My parents moved on without me when I was 18 months old and in poor health. My weight was half of normal for a toddler. Since my grandma couldn’t adopt me, she and I didn’t qualify for any state welfare programs that existed in the 1950s. My healthcare was limited to a few doctor visits and removal of my tonsils when I was five. I didn’t see a dentist until I was 14 and my teeth were full of cavities. My parents, like many parents to-

day, had reasons for not supporting their child. Both of them had careers and were productive members of society. Today drug and alcohol abuse along with pervasive divorce create millions of children like me. Many government programs like food stamps and Medicaid prevent situations like I experienced as a child. A start in life like mine usually has a sad outcome, but miracles can happen. Today Republicans want to cut government programs and hope that children like me will get lucky and win a lifesaving lottery. I made it, but millions of children don’t get to pick their parents and how they are raised. Ending government support programs for children is just cruel and destructive. Shame on anyone who thinks that poor children don’t deserve your political support. -Pete Scobby Newport

Information lacking on EMS district To the editor, Thanks for notice of two brief public hearings scheduled to supposedly elicit meaningful and informed public input on some sort of proposal for an EMS tax funding district that one of our county commissioners had our county attorney outline in an Inclusion resolution form, urgently presented without much advance See letters, 5A

Logic and free enterprise vs. politics By Jim Brewster

So here we are again. The Pend Oreille County commissioners have made a decision to ban retail pot stores in the county because, according to one commissioner, they do not want to send the wrong message to our youth. I am not sure what the message would be if one were allowed to open, especially when one is trying to open in the city of Newport. Does that mean that only the youth living in Newport are going to be given the wrong message? According to Commissioner

Mike Manus, the way that Washington state has lobbed recreational and medical marijuana together is the reason for banning retail shops in the county. How did that affect your decision? When the county passed the moratorium in February 2016 plus three more times, there were several grow operations operating in the county. According to the commissioners, this ordinance only affects retailers of marijuana. Now they are going to process applications associated with the production and processing of marijuana. So,

The U.S. Senate delayed a vote on the GOP’s American Health Care Act. They had hoped to pass the AHCA before going home for the July Fourth recess. They will resume efforts when they return. Are you in favor of the AHCA?

it seems that growing marijuana does not send the wrong message to our youth. What message do we send our youth when we spend our time banning a retail store when there are several grow operations that have been operating in the county for a couple of years? It would be an interesting situation if you decided to ban grow operations using the same criteria as a retail store. Are the grow operations just growing for medical reasons? See brewster, 5A

McMorris Rodgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hydropower bill passes committee WASHINGTON, D.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., introduced the Hydropower Policy Modernization Act of 2017, Friday, June 30. This week the bill went before the House Energy and Commerce Committee for consideration, passing by a voice vote. It will now continue its journey through the legislative process.

During this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing, McMorris Rodgers delivered opening remarks on the importance of this legislation to Eastern Washington and the Pacific Northwest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my home state itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over 70 percent of our energy power comes from hydropower. And there is still room for tremendous potential to increase production of this renewable

energy resource,â&#x20AC;? McMorris Rodgers said. According to her statements, hydropower production in America could double without building a new dam. She said 3 percent of dams actually produce power, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated it would create more than 700,000 new jobs by updating technology to current infrastructure and streamlining the

relicensing process. On average, she said, it takes 18 months to authorize or relicense a new natural gas facility in the U.S., while it takes more than 10 years to license a new hydropower project or reauthorize an existing facility. The language in her

deal with the real drug problems in our county? I would like to address the medical verses recreational use of marijuana. The commissioners think that if medical and recreational werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lumped together they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a problem okaying a retail store. So, I assume that you think that people who had medical cards only used it for medical reasons. In some cases that was true but if you had been paying attention you would know that a greater percentage of people that had a medical card didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need it for that reason. It was recreational and it was common knowledge to the rest of society. So, assuming you are correct, does that mean everybody that purchased medical didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use it for recreational use. And what does recreational use imply? Is this any different than going home and pouring yourself a drink or having a beer? How come we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the same restrictions on alcohol and cigarettes? Oh, I know, they are legal. So is marijuana. One of your mandates is to bring businesses to the county. Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t retail

stores selling a legal drug qualify as bringing new businesses to the county? What we have here is a county government mandating morality, rather than free enterprise, that is hiding behind political rhetoric. Your decision was supposedly a result of public input. If you think that 15 to 20 people represent the county, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the problems. I attended the last public meeting and I had to sit through 20 to 25 minutes of political statistics that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have zip to do with the issue. I have always referred to this as tap dancing around the real issue, the motive behind your decision. If you are paying attention, the rest of the counties that are lifting their moratoriums and the reasons why. One is that the state liquor board is going to deny tax money on alcohol if counties continue to deny permits. I think is time for the county to get past the stigma that has been created about marijuana. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal and it is here to stay. We went through the same exercise during the prohibition era and look where it ended up.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about mental health or safety, it was a moral issue and the only ones that profited were the bootleggers.

towns can always pull out. From talking to the town officials in my area of the county, most are willing to take the word of the county commissionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorney expressed in her inclusion resolution form, they approved for possible ambulance funding. One town official said that he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live long enough for it to matter. One said that they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lie to us. Another said that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand it at all. I said Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d try to bring this up with the county attorney. No response yet. The public is given no information on possible alternatives: the viability of existing services; rates

for sharing Fire/EMS tax levies, e.g. 67/33 percent; language for EMS district governance with non-dominance by richer resourced entity partners; and, as of June 23, new non-profit, public utility ambulances through Town Fire Protective Districts possible where no competing private ambulances, avoiding all kinds of new EMS district costs, under RCW 52.02. I searched in vain the county website for public notice and EMS information to meaningfully â&#x20AC;&#x153;weigh-in.â&#x20AC;? -Duane Schofield Cusick

I am not sure if the commissioners have been paying attention to our Governor and state Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stance on legal marijuana. If they have, it would seem that they would get the message that marijuana is legal and governed by the state liquor board and private citizens have a right to sell it in a retail store. This is called free enterprise. The attitude that prevails is if a retail store opened in the county, there would be some type of drug crisis created and the cartels would move in. Well commissioners, you already have a drug problem in the county. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the availability of opiates, meth, cocaine and alcohol. If you are really serious about our youth, you should spend more time being concerned with a solution to this problem rather than denying a permit to a private citizen trying to sell a legal drug under control of the state liquor board. Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you let retail stores exist and take the tax money from those sales and give it to mental health so that they can

If non-profit ambulance operations are not viable for our Hospital District, why would a new county bureaucracy, created for perpetual funding, perpetual, for-profit ambulance companies or fire districts, be any more viable for the tax payer? I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough information to meaningfully participate in helping my public servants decide what to do for the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefit. Maybe, their minds are already made up? If so, the

bill designates FERC as the lead agency for the purposes of coordinating all Federal authorizations and establishes coordinated procedures for the licensing of hydropower projects. “By designating FERC as the lead when coordinating with agencies, states, and tribes, there will be added transparency and collaboration. This added certainty in the relicensing process will diminish the burden on the resource agencies and help avoid unnecessary delays. “This language also incentivizes capital intensive projects, like updating turbines or improving fish ladders. Right now, these upgrades are only included in the lifespan of a dam’s license during the relicensing window,” she said.

and purchase an “investment package” each one named after a famous, classic 1950’s movie star (Marlon Brando, Audrey Hepburn, Doris Day, John Wayne, etc.). The investment packages are filled with limited edition Roxy merchandise and goodies. There are 12 packages in total, with the least expensive being the Jayne Mansfield package at $10 and the largest being the Dick and Gladys Bishop package at $10,000. The Bishop package comes with two limited edition Save The Roxy tumblers, two limited edition Save the Roxy T-shirts, two Lifetime Founders of The Roxy memberships, and an honorary star on The Roxy’s Hollywood wall of fame. Another option is a Friends of the Roxy subscription membership starting at $13.99 per month. A subscription includes free movie entry for the subscriber, a 10 percent discount on all concessions, and a tumbler or T-shirt as a gift for signing up. Features the Totlands

the world,” says former Roxy owner Gladys Bishop. Built in 1951, and owned and operated by Gladys and Richard “RC” Bishop for 51 years, Kevin Wright, an insurance agent in Newport, purchased the theater in 2007, and then closed the business in 2015. The Roxy Theater building was sold Jan. 20 in a trustee sale earlier this year for $132,000. The only bidder was Glacier Bank. The building includes not only the theater, but also Wright’s insurance office and an upstairs apart-

ment. “This community supported me for years, and my wish is that it will support the them (Jason and Brittany),” says Bishop. The Roxy’s current design consists of three theaters totaling 330 seats. The multiplex was a redesign done under Wright’s ownership, splitting the theater into three separate screens. The Totlands plan to change it back to just one big screen with the original 430-seat capacity. The plan is to only show movies on the front main screen until the remodel to restore the grand theater design can be afforded. “People have been so generous and seem to really want this,” says Brittany. “We’re appreciative of any support we get. Any little bit of fundraising helps.” For more information, check out the Roxy’s Facebook page at www. facebook.com/thenewportroxy, or go to www. thenewportroxy.com. “I will be there,” Bishop says when asked is she plans on going to a movie once The Roxy reopens.

Upper Priest Lake subject of native fish conservation By Andy Dux Fisheries Regional Manager, IDFG

PRIEST LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Native bull trout and westslope cutthroat have been the target of Upper Priest Lake anglers throughout history. These native species continue to provide good fishing opportunity, but not without some assistance. Since the early 1990s, non-native lake trout have been present in Upper Priest Lake. Lake trout generally compete with or prey upon bull trout and westslope cutthroat. This results in weaker populations of these native species. To conserve native fish populations in Upper Priest Lake, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game has attempted to keep lake trout population growth in check by removing fish each year. These removals have occurred as part of a netting program that began in 1997. In 2017, a total of 1,871 lake trout were caught during the two-week removal period in May. Catch rate trends indicate that removal efforts have curbed lake trout population growth in Upper Priest Lake. And, upward trends in native fish abundance demonstrate that these efforts have been beneficial. As a result, good fishing for native fish in Upper Priest Lake remains because of these efforts. Conservation of native fish in Upper Priest Lake requires annual maintenance in the form of lake trout removal because Priest Lake is a continual source of lake trout. Lake trout have dominated Priest Lake for many years. The Thorofare, an open corridor between Priest and Upper Priest lakes, provides an easy route for wandering lake trout to reach the upper lake. Annual maintenance activities

on Upper Priest Lake slow the invasion of lake trout from below, but also cost money. The future of anWhatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Next: The first public meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 13 at 6:30 p.m. at The Inn at Priest Lake in Coolin. More meetings will be held in late July in Priest River and Coeur dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Alene.

nual lake trout removal is dependent on the ability to fund the effort. Most of the financial burden for Upper Priest Lake work has been met by grants from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and supplemental funding from the Kalispel Tribe. The IDFG has been working with local stakeholders to set future management direction for Priest and Upper Priest lakes. Three alternatives were recently identified for broader public input. One option is to maintain the existing management strategy, which favors lake trout in the main lake. Another is focused on enhancing Kokanee, westslope cutthroat trout, and bull trout, which requires managing against lake trout in the main lake. Yet another and even more challenging alternative would attempt to strike a balance that allows all species to be present at fishable levels. Stakeholders expressed strong support for conserving native species in Upper Priest Lake, thus each of the management alternatives include continued lake trout suppression in the upper lake. Of course, continuing upper lake efforts will be influenced by the management approach chosen. Alternatives that involve reducing lake trout in the main lake would make it easier to attain management goals in the upper lake. Public meetings will be held to discuss Priest Lake management options and solicit input from the

s p o rt s c a l e n da r Saturday, July 8 Open Gym, Adult Basketball: 7 a.m. - Newport High School

public. The first public meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 13 at 6:30 p.m. The meeting will be held at The Inn at Priest Lake in Coolin. Interested parties are encouraged to attend. Additional meetings will be held later in July in Priest River and Coeur dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Alene. Once additional meeting dates are set, they will be advertised in The Miner and on the IDFG website. Additionally, opportunities to provide input for those who cannot attend public meetings will be advertised.

BOISE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Idaho resident hunters wanting to purchase a general season elk tag in a capped zone will need to keep two dates in mind in early July. On Monday, July 10, all resident capped elk zone tags, except for the Sawtooth Zone, go on sale at 10 a.m. (MDT) at Fish and Game offices, license vendors, with a credit card by going online to www. idfg.idaho.gov, or by calling 800-554-8685. On Wednesday, July 12, resident Sawtooth Zone A and B elk tags go on sale, with half of the tags sold at Fish and Game offices and license vendorsonly starting at 10 a.m. (MDT). The remaining half of the resident Sawtooth tags will go on sale online-only at 1 p.m. (MDT). Capped zone tags are sold in limited numbers on a first-come, firstserved basis.

Preparing for butterflies

It was all about butterflies

hursday, June 29, for kids at Priest Lake Library for the summer reading program. Kids around ages 2 to 10 were invited to create a butterfly garden and build butterfly houses. The Priest Lake Public Library received a $500 Science/ Technology/Engineering/Mathematics (STEM) grant from Idaho Commission for Libraries. The grant funds will be used towards a series of STEM based activities for youth at the library throughout the summer. For more information, check out the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page. All photos by Beverly Richmond.

Children at the Priest Lake Library pick out decorations for their butterfly houses.

Much like birdhouses, butterfly houses come in many shapes and sizes. Unlike a birdhouse, a butterfly house has long, narrow slots rather than a round hole. These slots allow access to butterflies, but keep the birds out.

This builder seems to be pleased with the progress of her butterfly house.

Complete with decoration: a finished butterfly house is proudly displayed.

During the late fall and winter months butterflies seek more shelter. Some species begin an annual migration, overwinter in a cocoon or chrysalis, or hibernate as adults. A butterfly house helps support the species of butterflies that spend the winter as adults.

This young man stands with his butterfly house in front of the butterfly friendly garden kids helped plant the same day. The box is filled with flowers and plants that attract butterflies.
