variety of animals including small and large animals, as well as wildlife. “I pretty much take anything,” Ward says. She has a rehabilitator’s permit from the state of Washington. She does not have a clinic of her own, so she treats the animals and then finds a place for them to heal. “World Vets is a hobby of mine,” Ward says. “It is like a mobile M.A.S.H. unit for animals.” World Vets is an international animal aid organization. It is a volunteer non-profit group started by Dr. Kathy King, a native of Sandpoint, while working in Deer Park. They pack in supplies, set up a hospital, and provide free spay, neuter, flea and tick treatments, as well as any medical care that they are capable of See vet, 2A

NEWPORT – The Noisy Creek Fire in northern Pend Oreille County has grown to more than 300 acres, forcing the closure of the Noisy Creek Campground. “The last two lightning storms hit dead center,” said incident commander Kris Schroeder during a meeting with county and Forest Service crews at the Newport Ranger Station Monday, July 24. “There were an alarming number of strikes that started fires and they were hard to manage.” He said the fires were especially resistant to control, but firefighters extinguished eight of the nine fires that were started. While most of the fires were started by lightning, at least one was human caused, even though the people tried to put their fire out. They just didn’t get it all the way out, district ranger Gayne Sears said. There will be a public meeting Thursday, July 27, at 7 p.m., at the Ione Baptist Church to brief people on the status of the fire. The church is located at 124 Main St. in Ione. Firefighters used computer modeling based on a 20-year record of fires in the area to show where the fire is likely to go. There are 43 firefighters working on the fire, including a hotshot crew and a wildland fire module. There are two helicopters being used. Wildland fire modules are skilled and versatile fire crews, which provide technical expertise.

administering, and any meds that are needed. There are 15 people on each team and 15 to 30 locals on the ground. There is a local company that provides the location, volunteers, and gets the word out to all the locals to bring in their animals. The typical trip is two days of travel, three days of work, and two days off. “Every trip is my favorite,” says Ward. “It is a little crazy because I pay for this trip. I don’t get anything for free. It is all a gift I am giving. My time off is my vacation days. I pay for my own airfare. We all pay a fee to go on the trip. It covers our lodging and meals on workdays. I am working for free.” She keeps going back. “I just did my 14th trip in March,” she says. She began volunteering in 2011. She has been to Ecuador, Belize, Nicaragua twice, Columbia, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, and St. Eustatius. In November, she will be going to Nepal on a pilot trip, which means that it is the group’s first time there. They never know what work environment they will be dealing with. In Guatemala, they had to travel in a boat up the river to get to their living and working area. They stayed in bamboo huts on stilts. There was no electricity or running water. “We always pack headlamps just in case.” They were at the mercy of the local women for all their meals. “We ate mostly root vegetables. There was no dairy or meat,” says Dr. Ward.

“I will be leading my first team to Ecuador next March.” It is her third trip to Ecuador. “We can see the difference in the places we have been to, the gratitude in people and change in animals. It is definitely helping them live better lives,” says Ward. The biggest problems are parasites, nutrition and overpopulation. The largest disadvantages are lack of knowledge and lack of services. Even if people have the money to treat their animals there is nowhere for them to be treated. The World Vet Organization is helping to remedy this problem. Any veterinarian in the area is allowed hands on training right alongside the teams. Also, World Vet’s opened the Latin Veterinary Training Center in Nicaragua. It is open to any Latin American veterinarian who can get to the center. The week of surgical training is free. “The best thing about the center is that the people who are training the new volunteers are the veterinarians previously trained by the World Vet teams. I personally trained one of the vets that is now training vets there,” says Ward. “If you just love animals and a desire to help animals there is a place on the team for you,” she says. There are two assistant positions available on each trip.

b r i e f ly Historical logging equipment display in Priest River PRIEST RIVER – Lee and Linda Naccarato put together a historical display in the front windows of the Beardmore Building in downtown Priest River Tuesday afternoon. The display will be lit up at night, and arrives the week before Priest River Timber Days, when the community celebrates its logging and timber heritage. Miner photo|Sophia Aldous
d o w n M e m o ry lan e 100 years ago 1917 Pend Oreille County’s apportionment for the first draft for the Army was fixed at 72. The sawmill at Diamond Lake completed its cut in that section and plans were made for removal of the plant. The Panhandle Lumber Co. and Ione \Lumber & Pole Co. appealed to the county officers for protection of their property against the I.W.W.
90 years ago 1927 The Ione ball team won a 14-inning ball game with the Newport club by a score of 9-8. The region was hit by a hot wave, a temperature of 98.25 being recorded at Newport. An auto carrying three Dalkena men rolled 250 feet down the side of Cooks Mountain, but the men escaped with slight injuries.
80 years ago 1937 Good progress had been made on the new fairgrounds and equipment at Cusick. Priest River was making plans for a dedication ceremony of its new town hall, with speeches and a dance on the program. One hundred and twenty-eight Pend Oreille County farmers solved their farm financing problems with cooperative mortgage loans and special commissioner loans through their local farm loan associations and the district Land Bank.
70 years ago 1947 The Miner received letters from the Nelson Board of Trade and the Nelson Golden Jubilee committee inviting the people of Newport and Pend Oreille County to attend the Canadian city’s 50th anniversary to be observed the week of Aug. 3 through Aug. 9. Al Rathbun of Dalkena caught a 17 1/2 lb. mackinaw measuring 36 inches at Bead Lake. Noted geologists were in the Metaline Falls area, investigating the possibilities and probabilities of flooding of the mines if and when the Boundary Dam was built. See memory, 5A
corrections The wrong advertisement for Newport Hospital and Health Services ran in last week’s issue of The Miner. The ad, featuring babies born at Newport Hospital, was from last year, and ran due to Miner staff error. We regret any confusion this may have caused.

City celebrates completion of project
COLVILLE – Tri County Economic Development District (TEDD) launched Northeast Washington Insider, a mobile app that rewards people for exploring Pend Oreille Ferry and Stevens counties. Users of the free app can earn points by simply visiting places in the region, including a multitude of outdoor recreation destinations; retail, food and beverage and lodging locations; and heritage sites. Points can then be redeemed for goods or services at local businesses. “We are pleased to be able to provide this resource that will benefit commerce in the entire tri-county area,” TEDD Executive Director Jeff Koffel said.

Gloria Burnett of the Washington Transportation Improvement Board, Newport Mayor Shirley Sands and Bo McCanna of Belsby Engineering cut the ribbon on the SE Newport Improvement Project Monday, July 12. The project included street replacement, drainage, sidewalks and a new railroad crossing. Combined with the Garden Avenue repaving and sidewalk project, the project was budgeted at about $800,000, but came in under budget.

Enjoy your community this weekend This weekend is a big one for north Pend Oreille and west Bonner counties. Down River Days and Timber Days – the two biggest festivals in the area – will entertain the entire family, with parades, live music, great food and craft vendors, and some uniquely local competitions. Priest River’s Timber Days includes logging competitions that bring competitors from around the region to our town. These contests are something to behold, with sawdust flying, chainsaws revving and sweat pouring. The logging competitions let the rest of us laypeople see what our local loggers have done day in and day out for generations. The timber industry has its ups and downs, like most industries, but it is certainly still vital and this weekend is a good chance to acknowledge the hard work accomplished in our forests and mills every day. Down River Days includes a different kind of competition. The snowmobile watercross hits the Pend Oreille River Sunday, with competitors riding snowmobiles across the water. Sounds impossible, but it’s done every year to the thrill of the crowds lining the shore of the river. This is also the last year of the North Pend Oreille Valley Lions Club train rides that run from Ione to Metaline Falls during Down River Days. Take advantage of the spectacular views only a ride on the rails can offer. It takes an unbelievable about of time, energy and enthusiasm to put on these events like Down River Days and Timber Days. Take advantage of the community you live in and have some fun this weekend. -MCN
More to Idaho’s refusal to send voter info By Lawerence Denney Idaho Secretary of State
There are times when it is not worth fighting to correct being misquoted or straighten out a misperception. There are certain times, however, when for the benefit of others, the battle for transparency must be fought. In light of recent media coverage surrounding a letter from The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, I feel strongly that right now is one of those times. A July 19 article penned by the Associated Press led with the headline stating “Idaho won’t comply with Trump voter Denney panel request.” While technically accurate, it is far from the complete story. The article goes further to say that “Idaho now joins 17 other states and the District of Columbia also refusing to comply with the commission’s request.” The reality is that Idaho has not refused to comply, but rather, with the suspension of the request by the Designated Federal Officer for the commission, no “refusal” was necessary. When I was asked recently by a reporter to confirm if we were sending anything in response to the Commission’s request, my answer was “No.” The better answer would have been, “No - not to this request, at this time, in the manner in which it has been presented, and since the request is suspended.” Regarding the lawsuit, the AP article quoted Democratic Party Chair Bert Marley’s statement, “We are very pleased to tell Idahoans that we have protected their privacy by negotiating for an agreement that Secretary Denney will not send the voter information sought by the Trump Commission.” Chairman Marley - you negotiated for no such thing, and you did nothing to protect the privacy of Idahoans. That privacy was already well protected, and I take significant offense to the fact that you would insinuate otherwise. What you did do, however, was file an absolutely unfounded and frivolous lawsuit, (that you eventually dismissed) playing and preying upon public fear, and compounding the problem through misinformation. I will not allow that to continue. The AP article led with the line “Secretary of State Lawerence Denney announced Tuesday he will not hand over detailed voter information to President Donald Trump’s commission on election fraud as part of a settlement with the Idaho Democratic Party.” I made no such announcement, and the decision to not send any information was made outside the context of the Democratic Party’s dismissal of the suit, not because of it. As such, I will be providing a comprehensive timeline of the events and details surrounding this issue on the Secretary of State website to bring further clarity. Citizens of Idaho – when it comes to your private information and your election decisions, know that both I and my staff are working diligently and daily to preserve and protect your rights. Know also that we are subject to the laws of Idaho as they are written, and those laws include the Idaho Public Records Act. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you, and to present the truth on this matter.

yo u r o p i n i o n U.S. should continue to help world To the editor This year marks the 70th anniversary of one of America’s great moments: The Marshall Plan. After the invasions and the bombings of the Second World War, Europe was devastated. Farms and factories were in ruins. Refugees were everywhere. Food was scarce, and thousands were facing starvation. George Marshall, then Secretary of State, conceived the idea of sending food aid to Western Europe. Food aid was sent in the value of $ 13 billion (over $ 30 billion in today’s currency). Aid was sent to countries which had been our allies and also to countries who had fought against us. The Marshall Plan is certainly one of the basic reasons for the enduring friendship the United States still enjoys today in Western Europe. I hope and pray that we will still continue to aid countries suffering from disasters such as earthquakes or outbreaks of disease.

It was such an enjoyable experience to spend time in, and it deserves more credit. We loved the schoolhouse, the hunter’s cabin and the cabin the best. The clothes fascinated me the most because of their beauty and how petite they are. The volunteers were so kind and welcoming to us. The flowers were so well kept and the gift shop was full of wonderful souvenirs. We even want to go the second time out of a week. I am hoping to share this experience with people I know from Bellingham.

USFS response to fire too slow To the editor, Last Thursday morning a thunderstorm passed through the Metaline area and by evening a plume of smoke was spotted south of Metaline Falls on the east side of the river. The fire was reported to 911, the U.S. Forest Service and Washington State Department of Natural Resources. 911 dispatched Fire District No. 2, who responded with numerous volunteers and equipment, The USFS spoke with the reporting party and indicated that since it was nearly dark that they would check it out in the morning. FD 2, with a few concerned citizens also helping, worked until well past midnight to knock down the flames and prevent a possible life and property threatening wildfire. The USFS finally arrived on the scene the next morning at 9 a.m., over 12 hours after first reported. Had this fire, on USFS land, been left unchecked, perhaps the home that was within 1,000 feet of the fire or other homes and the Town of Metaline Falls, a half-mile away and downwind, would have been in peril. How is it that volunteers, many of whom worked their day job on Thursday, can react to an emergency while paid “professional” firefighters will not respond? The folks who are first to respond are our neighbors and co-workers who care about their community. Our dedicated Fire District people deserve a big thank you from all of us. Steve Kiss Ione
Republicans want to cut health care, food for poor
Obamacare fail.” That’s after claiming the need to repeal and replace Obamacare while actively trying to make it fail. Republicans didn’t repeal or replace and seem willing to let our healthcare system totally fail many citizens. The best Republicans could do is to propose huge tax cuts paid for by cuts to Medicaid. The Republican majority is on track to cut food stamps. What happens to poor children who will have their food and medical care reduced or taken away? The idea is to cut social aid programs and transfer government funds to rich Republican campaign donors through tax cuts. It would be one thing to cut social programs to reduce our national debt, but funds are still borrowed for tax cuts. Our national debt increases with a direct transfer of newly printed Federal Reserve notes to our richest citizens. I can’t understand how making rich people richer will provide reasonable costing healthcare for our citizens. How does that fix what is called a broken system? President Trump said: “We’ll let Obamacare fail and then the Democrats are going to come to us.” The Republican majority couldn’t pass any solution to our healthcare system problems, and now the President thinks that minority Democrats will come to him with a solution. The only possible solution is that every citizen is covered and every citizen pays into the healthcare system according to their means. The insurance model has failed because there are too many claims and not enough premiums to cover those claims. Republicans claimed they had a plan, but they didn’t. They just want to cut food and medical care for children and give rich people tax cuts. How does that benefit the citizens living in our community? Look up! You are being trickled on.

Did then candidate, now president Donald Trump know about a planned meeting between his associates and Russian officials to get information about Hillary Clinton? No.
President Donald Trump has been outspoken with his view that Attorney General Jeff Sessions should not have recused himself in the Russian investigation, going so far as to say Sessions should have told him before he was appointed that he would recuse himself in the Russia investigation. If he had known that, Trump said he would not have appointed him Attorney General. Should President Trump fire Sessions?
2% 38% 60%
Yes, he’s been a terrible AG. Not only did he recuse himself from an unfair investigation, he won’t investigate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her ties to the Ukraine or her missing emails. No, Sessions did the right thing in recusing himself, demonstrating more integrity than the president.
It doesn’t matter.
Yes.

The new free app promotes businesses to tourists. From Page 3a
The Northeast Washington Insider mobile app is a wayfinding tool for tourists and encourages residents and visitors alike to visit local businesses. The app was created using the 468 Insider platform from 468 Communications with funding from Ferry, Stevens, and Pend Oreille counties as well as the cities of Colville, Chewelah, Republic, and Newport. This project has been made possible with partnerships spanning Northeast Washington. “We created 468 Insider to give people more incentives for engaging in the communities they visit,” said Tim Fry, President of 468 Communications. “Northeast Washington Insider will make it fun to explore all that Northeast Washington has to offer, while rewarding visits to the local businesses that make this region so unique.” The app’s Explore button takes users to the map of the tri-county area, which has pins indicating destinations around the region. Clicking on each pin on the map gives more information about that place. Locations are assigned a point value, which can be collected when one is within GPS range of a location. Pushing the “Collect Points” button while physically visiting a location will add the location’s points to a user’s point total. Most point collection locations are worth ten points. Points accumulated with Northeast Washington Insider can be redeemed for goods or services at Rewards locations listed in the app. For instance, redeeming 100 points (collected by simply visiting ten places), users of the app can earn a 15 percent discount off their purchase at the ChewVino wine bar in Chewelah, WA. Beyond the rewards for app users and marketing support for local businesses, the app over time will help inform TEDD about what visitors and residents find the most compelling about Northeast Washington. This data can be used to guide investment in assets that will support economic development for the region. Northeast Washington Insider is available now as a free download on the iTunes App Store and Google Play. Businesses in the Tri-county area interested in offering a reward to increase traffic to their place of business should contact TEDD at 509-684-4571.

Newport, Priest River kids compete at Junior Olympic track meet By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner
SPOKANE – Summer participants at the USA Track and Field Junior Olympic track meet at Central Valley High School July 8 to test their skills in competition. The Region 13 meet consisted of over a 1,000 athletes from Oregon, Washington, Alaska and North Idaho. Two local competitors, Allyson Barton and Tanner Hughes, both started out a little nervous in their first events and came up just short of their personal bests, according to coach and mentor Jared Hughes. However, in their final events they post all-time personal records. The top five athletes qualified for the National meet in Kansas.

Newport basketball team caps summer season
By Don Gronninig Of The Miner
NEWPORT – The entire Newport varsity basketball team, sans Christopher Ownbey, who graduated, and with the addition of freshman Michael Owen recently returned from a trip to California, where they played in a tournament and took in the sights. “The boys had a good time and enjoyed the level of competition,” Newport coach Jamie Pancho said. The Newport team that made the trip was made up of Koa Pancho, Robbie Owen, Kade Zorica, Rylan Hastings, Danny Bradbury, Adam Morehead, Tug Smith and Michael Owens. They attended a basketball camp at the University of California San Diego, where they competed in a 41-team tournament, with most of the schools with bigger enrollments. The Newport team went 3-3 and finished 12th, a good showing Pancho
said. Pancho grew up in California, so he took the team to some tourist attractions while they were there. “We went to Disneyland and a few beaches,” he said. The trip was paid for by the AAU basketball fund that the team has been raising money for. The Grizzly Maws and Paws Booster Club also contributed. The tournament capped a summer of basketball for the team, Pancho said. They played 30 games over the summer, competing in tournaments in Yakima and Cheney, and competing in the West Valley League in Spokane. The summer play is similar to the year before, Pancho said, although the California trip and the league play is different. Pancho says the team is looking forward to the upcoming season. “The boys are enthusiastic,” he said. “They had a full summer.”

Allyson Barton winds up for a discus throw at the USA Junior Olympic track meet.
“Sadly, Allyson just missed out finishing sixth in both shot put and discus,” says Hughes. “However, the
experience for both was very rewarding and they are excited to do it again next year. My hope is that we can get more kids interested next year.” In the 11 to 12 year old girls’ group Barton placed sixth in discus, throwing 54 feet, 10 inches, and sixth in shot put with a personal record of 25 feet, one inch. She came in eleventh place in the javelin with a personal best of 47 feet, 3.5 inches. In the nine to 10-yearold boys’ group, Tanner Hughes took eleventh place in shot put with a personal record of 18 feet, seven inches. In the javelin he threw 48 feet, five inches.

Bull riding a draw Stand-alone bull riding events like the recent weekend’s John Swenson Bull-A-Rama weren’t always as prevalent as they are today. But about 40 years ago, promoters started realizing that rodeo’s most popular event could be its own attraction.

Life is but a dream for a rower Patricia Sudik of Pend Oreille Rowing and Paddling Association (PORPA) takes a single shell out onto the water Thursday afternoon, July 20 on the Pend Oreille River. The non-profit organization aims to promote safe and responsible rowing, as well as the sport of rowing in the Pend Oreille River valley in Idaho and Washington.
Bull riding wasn’t the only event last Saturday night. Barrel racers ran between sections of bulls, but they don’t call it the Barrel-A-Rama. Bull riding is the draw. Bull riding wasn’t the only event last Saturday night. Barrel racers ran between sections of bulls, but they don’t call it the Barrel-A-Rama. Bull riding is the draw. The first big standalone bull riding at which I rode was Wellpinit, back in 1976. The late artist and bull rider George Flett was a Spokane Tribal member and he and his relatives decided to put on their first Bull-A-Rama on the reservation. It was held in the fall over a couple days and there was enough added money that it drew quite a few bull riders. I was
lucky enough to win the event, the first time I won more than $1,000. The George Flett trophy buckle, with its feather and ruby, is my favorite buckle. Flett was just starting to make trophy buckles. He would later become pretty famous for his ledger paintings. Leger paintings are colorful drawings first made on accounting legers in the late 19th century. Indian artists recorded the events of the day, battles, hunting trips, and other memorable happenings on the paper that was available, ledger paper. George and Kalispel Tribal elder Frances Cullooyah were friends who attended the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe together. Not all stand-alone bull riding events went as well as that first one I went to so long ago. I went to one in Vancou-
ver B.C. in the 1980s where the prize money checks all bounced. That didn’t rodeo affect me, scene since I had been don bucked Gronning off. Twenty years ago Newport decided to start holding their own Bull-A-Rama, at the behest of the late John Swenson. Swenson was a hardcore rodeo supporter and a tireless worker and fundraiser for the Newport Rodeo Association. His family still supports the event, giving the winning bull rider an additional $100. It’s hard to believe, but it has been 20 years since that first Newport Bull-ARama, or 41 years since the Wellpinit one.

ach month the River Mountain Village Assisted Living hold a family day, when family members dine with their relatives.“It started out because some residents couldn’t go home for the holidays,” says Jenny Cooper, activities manager and volunteer coordinator. So one Thanksgiving they had a day families could come and eat with relatives. Family members pay $15 for the meal, which is used to fund other outings. Miner photo|Don Gronning

Proud of the river he grew up on, he was sure to pick up all litter found as he boated down the Pend Oreille, calling it is “ticket to heaven” – Craig’s lifetime of tickets, for selfless and generous acts, have been cashed in.

Questions over events at Ione Council meeting IONE – There was concern over town involvement in area events at the July 5 Ione Town Council meeting, with guest Leanna Powers expressing displeasure that the town would be charging the Tri Town Float Down for use of the Ione Park. At the June 5 council meeting the council agreed that the Tri-Town Float Down Poker Paddle, the annual fundraising event that goes from Ione Park to Metaline Park, should pay event and rental fees since it is not a town sponsored event, like Down River Days. Ione Clerk Sandy Hutchinson asked about park rental fees for Tri-Town Float Down, stating this event remains in the park using power and creating extra cleanup. The fee will start next year and is $25 a day.
At the July 5 meeting, Powers said she feels the Town does not want this event in the park and asked, “Why is Down River Days not charged to use the park?” Council deferred answering until the park commissioner is available. Ty Krohn and Linda Krohn of Pend Oreille Cannabis Company requested a letter of support from the town. Ione Mayor Charles Spears said the Town could not give a letter of support for their business, or any business in Ione. In airport news, council member John Redinger said he would contact Pend Oreille County Community Development regarding permits and how to proceed for the proposed T-hangar.

Spears asked if security issues continue. Pearson said there have been no security issues as of late, but kids have been clogging the toilets. Spears discussed burn ban resolution stating conditions are currently moderate to high, with temperatures forecasted high. He felt that since council would not meet for another two weeks, addressing the issue now
is important. He proposed a no burning resolution effective immediately with no open fires permitted until further notice. Violations will be subject to the penalty of a civil infraction.

County and national Forest Service officials were updated on the fires in the north part of the county Monday afternoon in Newport. The computer modeling shows where the Noisy Creek fire is most likely to expand to. From Page 2a
County officials attending the meeting were Sheriff Alan Botzheim, county commissioners Mike Manus and Steve Kiss, JoAnne Boggs, deputy director of emergency management and Steve West, E911 coordinator. County officials wanted to be prepared for the worst, with evacuation plans if needed. Sears asked if the county’s mobile dispatch center was available and Botzheim said it was. While only the Noisy Creek camp-
ground is currently closed, it is expected the Sullivan Lake campground will have to be closed at some point. The county will have a Facebook page up in the near future to get out information. The page won’t allow for comments. In the meantime, Boggs recommends people sign up for NIXEL, a free service that will send you emails or texts about emergencies. You can sign up at www.nixle.com.

OLYMPIA – State wildlife managers plan to remove members of a wolf pack that has repeatedly preyed on livestock in Stevens County since 2015. Jim Unsworth, director of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) authorized his staff to take lethal action against the Smackout wolf pack, based on four occasions where wolves preyed on livestock since last September. Unsworth said that action, set to begin this week, is consistent with Washington’s Wolf Management Plan of 2011, which authorizes WDFW to take lethal measures to address repeated attacks on livestock. The Smackout pack is one of 20 wolf packs documented in Washington state by WDFW in 2016. At that time, the pack was estimated to consist of eight wolves, but it has since produced an unknown number of pups. Martorello noted that the state’s wolf population is growing at a rate of about 30 percent each year.

Timber Days 2017 Naccarato is Bull of The Woods
By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner
PRIEST RIVER – Who better to be the Bull of The Woods than someone who has grown up around these woods all his life? That’s Mike Naccarato, 75, who has been chosen by the Priest River Chamber of Commerce to exemplify the spirit of the upcoming Timber Days celebration. Naccarato, a lifelong Priest River resident whose family goes back to some of the first homesteaders to settle the community, will ride in the Timber Days parade Saturday, July 29 at 11 a.m. “I’ve lived and worked here all my life,” says Naccarato, the fifth of eight kids born to George and Ruby Naccarato in 1942. “Just about every job there was, I’ve had it. I’ve never been picky about what kind of work I did.” Naccarato got his first summer job working for Great Northern Railroad at the age of 16 as a gandy dancer, laying tracks and maintaining them before the work was done by machines. It was hard work, but Naccarato says he didn’t mind. “You worked; that’s just what you did if you wanted your own spending money,” he says. “Plus you got a pretty good tan.” After graduating from Priest River High School (now Miner photo|Sophia Aldous

The couple went on to have three children, two boys and a girl, and have six grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Naccarato has worked at many area mills, including getting his start at Shields Lumber Company (now Stimson Lumber Company) under Les Kokanos. “I had a tendency to sleep in,” Naccarato recalls, smiling. “He would be so kind as to come get me and wake me up.” Naccarato held a variety of jobs at the mill, starting from janitor to maintenance man to tail sawyer. After over two years at Shields, he went on to work for the Diamond Match Company for over seven
years, and then established Naccarato Excavating with his cousins. He jointly ran the family business for five years, before returning to the timber industry at DAW Forest Products Company, then Crown Pacific Mill for over 27 years before he retired. His family also ran a

Carol. Naccarato can remember when the Timber Days celebrations brought in people form all over the Inland Northwest and the event was a rowdy and raucous good time. Though he still appreciates the festivities and the community it brings together, he points out that it’s a lot tamer than it once was. “It was really competitive and everyone got into it,” Naccarato says. “It was just a bunch of hardworking men doing their thing and having a good time.” However Timber Days has transformed over the years, Naccarato won’t miss the event for anything. “It’s just a good place,” he says of Priest River. “It was fun growing up here, and if you need something, the town comes together to help you. It’s been good to me.”

obituari es Ida Grace (Swannack) Knotts-Fox Newport
Ida Grace (Swannack) Knotts-Fox was born on Sept. 27, 1923 in Zion, Ill., to Louis John and CarKnotts-Fox rie Evalina Swannack. She died at Sacred Heart Medical Center on July 23, 2017 at the age of 93 from complications after hip surgery. Ida was one of 7 children and moved to Oldtown, Idaho at the age of 12 in 1935, where her parents owned a 260-acre farm on the Freeman Lake Bench. Ida graduated from Priest River High School in 1941. Ida met the love of her life, Louis (Louie) Knotts at a dance at the Freeman Lake Grange in 1940. They were married one week after Ida graduated from high school at the Newport Assembly of God Church on June 7, 1941. This same church became one of the most important parts of their life together. Ida and Louis lived happily together until Louie’s death in 1980. They had six children together. Their first daughter, Louise, died at the age of 3; twin daughters, Karen and Sharon were born a year after Louise was born but they both died a few hours after birth. A year after the twin’s death, Inez was born and Ida felt she replaced the three daughters they lost. Two additional children, Leland and Carol, were added to the family. Ida and her husband owned and operated a 63-acre dairy farm on Highway 2 west of Priest River. Ida helped with the many responsibilities of having a farm. She and Louis always had a big garden and Ida preserved all the vegetables and fruit for her family. Ida’s church and church family was one of the most important things in her life. She never liked to miss a Sunday church service and in the last six months, where it had become increasingly difficult to get around, the one thing she didn’t want to give up was her church attendance. Her faith in God and her faithfulness to Him will leave a lasting legacy to her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great, great grandchild. Ida moved from the family farm one year after her husband, Louie’s, death to an apartment on Beardmore Street in Priest River. She lived there until she met her second husband, Wayne Fox, who she married on December 3, 1993. They resided in Priest River until his death in 1998. During their years together, Ida and Wayne attended the New Testament Church in Newport. They had fun traveling in their motor home and fishing in different lakes. After Wayne’s death, Ida moved to an apartment in Newport and resided there until she moved into River Mountain Vil-
lage four months after it opened. She took great pride in the fact that she was the longest residing resident at River Mountain Village for the last 16 years. She loved her life there and all the staff who lovingly assisted her. Ida loved reading, embroidery, and playing bingo at River Mountain Village. She loved her doll collection, stuffed animals, and her spoon and thimble collection. Ida struggled with bipolar disease all her life, but her strong faith in God sustained her. The last six months of her life brought increasing age related health issues, but her faith in God and sheer determination kept her pressing on. Ida was preceded in death by her parents and six siblings: Viola Huff, Ralph Swannack, Guy Swannack, Pearl Danielson, Ruby Lovell, and Zoella (Honey) Hansen. She was also preceded in death by her husbands, Louis Knotts and Wayne Fox. She is survived by her three children, nine grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren, and one great, great grandchild. Ida’s family consists of: Inez (Bill) Case, Leland (Evelyn) Knotts, and Carol (Rob) Stone. Her grandchildren consist of: Arne Oscarson (Paula Kolar), Ronda (Jeff) Saunders, Brenda (Jasen) Hansen, Brian (Tammy) Knotts, Lisa (Tom) Schaull, Amy (Steve) Selders, Steve (Christy) Bradbury, Jason (Steph) Bradbury, Darin (Carrie) Bradbury. Her great grandchildren consist of: Cory, Courtney, Aleasha, Michael, Cassidy, Colton, Dylan, Hallie, Hayden, Heidi, Ian, Jasmin, Natalie, Steven, Libby, Parker, Miller, Keziah, KJ and Mima and one great, great grandchild, Raelyn. Ida is also survived by Ron (Connie) Oscarson, her former son-in-law, who was like a son to her. Ida’s family were the most important thing in her life, next to the Lord. Special thanks to all the staff at River Mountain Village who helped make the last 16 years of her life so special and happy.

Dispatch also fields calls for the Kalispel Tribe property in Airway Heights. Certain police calls are generally omitted because of space constraints. These include but aren’t limited to ambulance calls for illness, unfounded alarms, traffic stops, dogs at large, abandoned vehicles, 911 hang–ups and civil standbys. All dispositions for the police reports are assumed to be active, assist or transfer at press time. The police reports are updated each weekday on The Miner Online.
