74-year-old woman arrested after shooting

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Nelda J. Treadwell, 74, of Newport was arrested after deputies say she shot her nephew at a Sunnyside Drive residence about six miles north of Newport.

According to a news release from the Pend Oreille County Sheriff’s Office, Treadwell and her nephew, Tory J. Duty, 43, of Highlands, Calif., had been arguing about a vehicle when Treadwell is alleged to have shot Duty in the abdomen with a .22 Ruger single action revolver Wednesday, Aug. 29, about 10:50 a.m. They had been arguing about him us-

According to a sworn statement of probable cause, a witness heard Treadwell and Duty arguing. After a few minutes, Duty said he would not use the car, according to the witness. The witness said Treadwell walked back to the residence while the witness stayed with Duty to calm him down.

Treadwell returned with a handgun, according to the statement, and she and Duty began to argue again. Duty stepped towards Treadwell and the witness stepped between them, facing

Two injured in plane wreck

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

METALINE FALLS – A small plane crashed Sunday, Sept. 2, on the south side of Sullivan Creek Road.

“We were camping out at Sullivan Lake Campground and heard the sirens,” said Benjamin Hansen of LaCrosse, Wash. He went to see what happened and took photos of the scene.

Two people were in the Cessna 182 aircraft. Jeffry S.

Gorman, 53, was the pilot and Brenda K. Mitchell, 42, was a passenger. Both are from Oregon, according to Pend Oreille County Undersheriff Grant Sirevog.

Both he and Hansen said that apparently the pilot started to land, then aborted the landing when he saw the unpaved runway was too short for a successful landing.

“He landed about halfway down the runway and tried to

NEWPORT – A landmark building that has served Boy Scouts since the 1920s will be torn down and replaced with a larger facility to serve the growing needs at Camp Cowles Scouting Reservation on Diamond Lake.

Finch Lodge was built in 1923, overlooking Boy Scout Bay off of North Shore Road. The goal is to start demolition next spring and to put up a new dining hall that will have the capacity to serve 350 people. That plan is contingent on the Inland Northwest Council of the Boy Scouts of America raising the remaining funds for the project. It’s currently about $800,000 COURTESY PHOTO|SAVE FINCH LODGE short.

Biayakathon racers on the road this weekend

Newport gears up for homecoming

NEWPORT – The first ever Newport Biayakathon, a kayak-bicycling race, will take place along the Pend Oreille River in Oldtown and Newport Saturday, Sept. 8. Drivers on LeClerc Road should be on the lookout for cyclists between the Oldtown Bridge and Pioneer Park.

The race starts at 9 a.m. with paddlers making their way around Kelly Island. Returning to the boat launch at Oldtown Rotary Park, they’ll take off for a five-mile bike ride to Pioneer Park and back.

The race was created to gain awareness for Pend Oreille County Counseling Service’s prevention program, particularly the efforts to curb prescription drug abuse.

Food and festivities are planned at Rotary Park, and 100 lockboxes will be given out for people to keep their prescription medications safe.

Online registration closed Sunday. For registration on race day, the price is $20. For more information, visit the event’s Facebook page at www.facebook. com/newport.biayakathon, or contact Martina Coordes at 509-447-5651.

NEWPORT – Newport is gearing up for homecoming. The festivities start next week.

High school students will vote for royalty Thursday, Sept. 6 during their lunch break. Class hallway decorating will take place Saturday, Sept. 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Dress up days start Monday, Sept. 10. That day, the JV football team will play at Priest River, and there will be girls dodge ball at Newport High School at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 11 is a home volleyball game at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, the girls soccer team plays at Deer Park at 4 p.m., and manly-man volleyball will be in the high school gym at 6 p.m.

PUD appeals planning decision over power poles NEWPORT – The Pend Oreille Public Utility District has appealed the county planning commission’s decision that denied plans for installing overhead power lines across the Pend Oreille River at Riverbend. PUD general manager Jay Pickett says the appeal is a way to protect the timeline for the project as they work on alternative plans.

Within a couple weeks, the PUD will be applying for permits for a new plan, which involves using an existing river crossing north of the Riverbend area, and adding 2.5 miles of three-phase line to serve the customers of the east side of the river. Work would likely be done in the next construction season, so the poles that were erected at Riverbend this summer will remain in case of emergency until the new line is functioning.

like gangbusters,” he said.

Every summer there’s about 550 Cub Scouts, plus another 500 parents and grandparents that participate in Cub Country.

Camp Cowles provides the only Cub Scout facility of its kind between Seattle and Minneapolis, McCandless said.

With a new dining facility, he thinks the program could double within the next two to three years.

“Diamond Lake is a great location. We’ve got such a terrific bay we’re on,” he said. “It’ just can’t be beat.”

This summer, 3,465 scouts and leaders from the region’s LDS scouting troops used the facilities at Camp Cowles for an encampment. In preparation, they developed a new part of the scout reservation called Camp Sunrise.

McCandless said it makes a great extended camping area for the scouts in the future.

The council hopes to raise $2.5 million for the new dining hall.

So far, they’ve collected about $1.7 million through contributions from foundations, individuals and companies.

The road to a new lodge at Camp Cowles has had some bumps over the recent years.

The Boy Scouts launched their fundraising campaign in August 2008, just a month before the economy crashed.

“Things became a whole different ball game in raising gifts and commitments,” McCandless said.

Until the fundraising goal is met, Finch Lodge will remain. It doesn’t have the dining facilities any more, but it is still used as a shelter.

Duty laid down on the grass in the yard and Treadwell went back inside to set the gun down.

She came back outside to stand with family members to wait for first responders.

Duty was conscious and alert when the ambulance arrived to take him to Newport Hospital.

He was later flown to Spokane for surgery. He was discharged from Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center by Tuesday, Sept.

$100,000 on each charge. He called it a serious violent crime.

Defense attorney Robin McCroskey said that amount was too high. She said Treadwell had no criminal history and is a homeowner.

“I would ask for a much lower bond,” she said.

Van de Veer lowered the bail to $50,000 on each charge – $100,000 in all. As a condition of release, he required that all weapons, including those owned by anybody else in the home, be turned in to the sheriff office before Treadwell was released.

He also issued no contact orders for several witnesses who were living in the home. That essentially meant they had to move if Treadwell were to be released to return home. Van de Veer required a hearing to see that the conditions were met before he would allow Treadwell to bond out.

On Friday, Aug. 31 that hearing was held. The people had moved but it wasn’t clear all the guns had been removed from the home.

Van de Veer ordered that she could be released when the bond was posted and the guns turned in to the sheriff office.

She bonded out later that day.

PRIDE group joins efforts with theater group PRIEST RIVER – The PRIDE effort continues in Priest River.

The PRIDE Steering Committee has announced a new partnership with the Friends of the Priest River Theater. The Friends of the Theater formed in 1999 with the purpose of renovating the Rex Theater, located in the Beardmore Building on the corner of High and Main streets.

When those plans did not pan out, the group focused on providing an after school art program, “It’s All In Your Head,” which has been offered for the last 10 years at Idaho Hill Elementary and Priest River Elementary.

In July, the Friends of the The-

ater appointed three members of the PRIDE steering committee to its board. Garry Hojan, Jean Elsaesser and Katie Crill joined longtime members John Linch, Nancy White and Jean Hauritz.

PRIDE will benefit from the Friends of the Theater’s established 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, and the group will work to keep “It’s All In Your Head,” an active program.

At the steering committee meeting Aug. 22, the group discussed past accomplishments in Priest River and ways to move forward. Hojan reported that the PRIDE Community Aces continue to offer activities for children and families, hosting a

NEWPORT - A 29 year old Newport man was sentenced to 16 months in prison for his role in a a burglary.

Anthony Lee Schaff was the third and final burglar to be sentenced in connection to an Oct. 31 burglary of a Scotia Road residence.

The 16 month sentence was part of a plea arrangement. The standard range of sentencing for Schaff was 15-20 months.

Deputy prosecutor Tony Koures said that Schaff deserved 16 months, as he “was caught red handed by a neighbor.”

The homeowner, Brett A. Bretthauer spoke at sentencing.

“I work hard for my money,” he said. “Sixteen months sounds pretty lenient to me.”

His neighbor, Nick Daigneault, also spoke. Daigneault said that the three people knew Bretthauer.

They left a “path of filth and destruction,” at the residence they burglarized, he said. “They did it intentionally,” he said, and urged Pend Oreille County Superior Court Judge Alan Nielson to “use

the full extent of your authority to punish Mr. Schaff.”

Defense attorney Barrett Scudder said sometime there is no good explanation for a crime.

“It comes down to people doing stupid things when they are using drugs,” he said. He said Schaff pled to what he was originally charged with. He wasn’t the one who wrecked the home, Scudder said.

Schaff apologized to Bretthauer in court.

“There is no excuse,” Schaff said. “I’m not going to blame it on drugs.”

He said he didn’t know what happened to the house, as he

Fiber – the time is now

As you are aware, your Pend Oreille Public Utility District received a federal grant for more than $27 million to run fiber optics to nearly 5,000 homes and businesses in our community.

I’ll be honest with you; I’m not sure how I feel about the whole principle of stimulus dollars and how it relates to our economy. The jury is still out on that one, but I thought as long as money was available then the PUD should at least apply for the grant. Besides, what were our chances? Well our chances were better than I thought. Pend Oreille received one of only eight federal grants in the entire United States to complete a fiber to the home project and we were the second largest for the amount of dollars received.

Who would think that a small community such as ours would now be one of the country’s leaders in telecom technology?

However, nothing in life is free and this grant did come with certain stipulations. One requirement is that we complete the project within three years, by April 1, 2013. That sounds like a long time but by the time you get the necessary permits, engineer estimates and bids from various companies to do the job, it really does not leave much time for completion. Now you throw into the mix our long cold winters and snow until March … our time to complete the project gets even shorter.

This is why we are putting an end date on customers signing up for free fiber installation to your home. Sept. 30 will be the last day that you will be able to sign up for fiber and receive free installation.

The reason we have to do so is quiet simple. After we get your approval there is still much work

to be done regarding your individual property. We hire a firm to come out and physically view your property; we hire someone to mark all the existing utilities on your property. We hire someone to prepare drawings and then we turn the final papers over to the companies that will be doing the physical work. All of this can be complicated and time consuming.

I have received some phone calls GUEST from customers asking why OPINION people in their CURT KNAPP neighborhood COMMISSIONER, had received PEND OREILLE PUBLIC the fiber to UTILITY DISTRICT their house but others on the same street did not. Of course the ideal situation would have been if everyone on the same block signed up at once, then the companies could have done their work all at the same time but this of course is not the case. The bottom line is time is running out and we have to hook up as many people as possible regardless if the neighbors have signed up or not.

Please remember that you are under no obligation to sign up or pay for any telecom services unless you want to. If you want, this can be done at any time in the future. You will even be able to have fiber installed to your house after Sept. 30, but it could cost you an installation fee.

We have great plans and hopes for our fiber project. We want you to be part of them. If you have any questions, concerns or ideas, please join us a regular board meeting or call your PUD at any time.

National conventions should be outlawed I’ve been to a lot of political conventions in my day and long ago proposed the national confabs ought to be abolished, if not outlawed.

They are deadly dull most of the time although I was there when the Republicans nominated Ford over Reagan who was given a consolation prize of making the closing speech of the doings, a speech so compelling you could see delegates all over the room looking at each other with that “We nominated the wrong guy” expression.

I was there when Walter Mondale told Democratic delegates their taxes will be raised but Reagan wouldn’t tell them that “and I just did.”

I was there when Clinton made a keynote speech prior to his presidential candidacy that was so bad it provoked the most applause when he said, “Now, in closing...”

I was there when the Jimmy Carters paraded daughter Amy around for interviews at a party they gave in New York. What do you ask an 8-year-old? Do you prefer peanut butter over jelly?

The kid was crying most of the time and begging to be allowed to take off her party dress and put on her cut-offs. No such luck. A smiling Jimmy just dragged her to another reporter.

That was in 1976 and a New York cabbie told me he’d never been to Washington state but knew all about it. “It’s cold there,” he said. “Rains all the time.” Another cabbie said, “It’s the apple state. You grow Delicious apples there.” He buys them when he can afford it, he said, 50 cents each for a regular. More for a big one. In New York they grow McIntoshes, he said, “and the only way they resemble an apple is they’re round.”

Cabbies in Kansas City, where the 1976 Republican convention was held, said they were not happy about having the conven-

tion. They spent all their time tied up in traffic meaning fewer trips and making $10 to $15 a day less than before the delegates came.

“Some drivers haven’t gotten over the Shrine convention yet,” one told me. “Everybody thought they were going to be big spenders, but they came GUEST here in trailers OPINION and campers, ate out of ADELE brown bags FERGUSON brought their CORRESPONDENT own whiskey with them by the case and drank it on street corners. Nobody made any money at all.”

I asked one cabbie about Kansas City being third in the nation for its crime rate and he said, “I don’t know nothing. But I drive my cab by day, never by night.

And it’s not a black problem or a white problem. I’m black and I live here. It’s just a problem.”

We Washingtonians had no crime problems in Kansas City although in New York where the D’s convened, one of our delegates had his pants stolen, losing $750 in cash. Another had her purse rifled of $300 in travelers’ checks. Another surprised a man trying to enter her room and others reported signs their luggage was being gone through. As to my own experience, I strolled one night around the seedy fringes of the theater district with one of the delegates while we waited for our show to start, and we stepped inside a local liquor store for a looksee.

While we browsed, three young black men came quietly in and stood together in the center of the store.

|| Democrats are using scare tactics To the editor: Many years ago Ronald Reagan so simply said to Jimmy Carter, “There you go again.”

These very words must finally be brought forward in response to the Democrats who would lead so many down the garden path of falsehoods and scare tactics.

It appears that Mrs. Searles (and usually Mr. Scobby along with her) has accused Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of seeming to be against everyone from children to the elderly.

Yet, she does not give us one actual fact to back up what she says. I am not going to do a lengthy defense of Rep. McMorris Rodgers here because I believe that most people know she is not the evil person Mrs. Searles (or Mr. Scobby) would make her out to be. I would also suggest that people do their own research to verify facts for themselves.

I am only going to give one example to rebut Mrs. Searles assertions. It is the Obama administration and the Democrats who are cutting more than $700 billion from Medicare. The Republicans are doing everything in their power to save Medicare. People who are over 55 will not have any of their benefits changed. Those under this age will be given choices – a voucher system to help them pay for the insurance of their choice or stay on the government plan. Without changes now, Mrs. Searles, our sons and daughters may have no Medicare to look forward to.

I would respectfully ask everyone to also remember this: Rep. McMorris Rodgers is a daughter, wife and mother. Do you seriously believe she wants to harm her loved ones?

I would urge everyone to look closely at the Republican ticket this year as we need adults who will deal with facts and truth to lead this nation – not falsehood and scare tactics.

ID requirement is not excessive To the editor: First things first. Larry Montgomery wrote a great letter that no responsibly thinking person could find fault with. Requiring ID is a legal part of every American’s every day life, outside their home, and is an accepted minor burden on everyone regardless of race, age, etc.

The second election is close by and again I use the “no responsibly thinking person” when asking people from both sides of the political spectrum to look first at our country,

state, community and our own households, and then ask, “are we better off now and does it look like we will be four years from now if the same people are kept in office?” The second election is not the “second coming” as some would have us believe.

The Democrats have good ideas, just as the Republicans do. It’s their leadership that’s upside down in the direction they are taking our country! No budget for the first time in modern history! The one budget Obama presented was voted down 97-0. Not one Democrat or Republican voted for it, and it was not a compromise budget! Remember the old school adage, “get under your desk and cover your head.” Think about it on your voting day.

-Larry Connelly Cusick

‘Obamacare’ naysayers are hypocrites To the editor: Back in the 1990s President Clinton appointed his wife Hilary to lead a commission on healthcare reform. The socialized medicine proposal from that commission was dubbed “Hilarycare.” The Republicans in Congress developed a counter proposal led

by Sen. Bob Dole. Many of the features of that Republican plan are now in the Affordable Care Act that Republicans call Obamacare.

As a liberal, I really don’t like Obama defending what was originally a Republican healthcare plan and being saddled with its negatives. I want socialized medicine much like what they have in Canada. That’s similar to single payer Medicare and what the VA delivers to veterans.

I just love it when veterans hold up signs condemning Obamacare as socialized medicine and then go to the VA for their medical care. Same goes for all those free medical supplies paid for by Medicare for seniors who also protest Obamacare.

What they are protesting is a Republican plan that requires people to buy medical insurance from a private sector insurance company. How is that socialism? On the other hand if you are under 65 and want to gamble with your health risks, you can skip the insurance and make me and other system users pay your bill if you get cancer or have a major injury accident.

Romney has promised to repeal the ACA on his first day if elected president. Picture a white government car coming up your driveway to collect all those free medical supplies they sent you in the government subsidized

The topic of weather has been on the forefront of the country’s mind as of late, especially with Hurricane Isaac hitting the southeast last week. Some believe the extreme weather the world is experiencing over the last few years is because of global warming or some other human-made problem.

Do you think the weather is telling us something, or is the extreme weather normal?

Mother Nature is obviously not happy with us. We need to change how we care for the Earth.

If you look at the history of the planet, this weather is nothing.

Even if this is a normal weather pattern, we need to do more to care for Earth.

Weather has nothing to do with how humans interact with the planet.

Join conversation about transportation To the editor: This summer, the Washington State Transportation Commission launched the Voice of Washington State (VOWS), an innovative web-based public engagement program, which includes seven regional discussion forums and a survey panel. Currently, the Northeast Washington region is critically underrepresented on the forum and the survey panel. All of the state’s transportation commissioners, including myself, are reaching out to residents and urging them to log on to www.voiceofwashingtonstate.org to sign up and share input on how to improve our transportation system.

The Northeast Washington VOWS online discussion forum is good for our community because it’s a place for Spokane County residents to publicly share, vote and comment on regional or statewide transportation ideas.

You can share your opinions about any part of our transportation system, including: highways, mass transit, freight and highspeed rail, ferries, barges and even aviation.

Similarly, through the survey panel, citizens can contribute their opinions by taking occasional surveys on transportation policy, funding and tax issues. The state needs this information in order to understand the priorities and opinions of Washington state residents.

The ultimate goal is to gather public input on Washington state transportation policy and funding, and to inform the statewide discussion and decision-making process. The governor and Legislature will be briefed on the results of both the forums and surveys at the start of each year before the Legislative session begins.

In short, we want and need to see a stronger representation in Northeast Washington to ensure the input gathered is balanced and reflective of statewide views and interests.

You can help by sharing your transportation ideas today. There is a limited window of SEE LETTERS, 5A

The Bonneville Power Administration is proposing to fund the purchase of the 556 acre Indian Creek property in Pend Oreille County, Washington. The Kalispel Tribe would own and manage the land for fish and wildlife habitat conservation purposes and BPA would receive a conservation easement to ensure that the habitat values on the property are always protected.

The funding would be provided as part of BPA’s ongoing efforts to protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife habitat as partial mitigation for the construction of Albeni Falls Dam. Indian Creek is located in the Pend Oreille River watershed and supports populations of resident fish, migratory waterfowl, neotropical birds, raptors, elk, deer and moose. Protecting habitat on the Indian Creek property would benefit many of these species.

For more information contact Lee Watts, BPA Project Manager, at 503-230-4625 or vlwatts@bpa.gov. You can also call toll free 800-622-4519.

They still stood there, backs together, saying nothing.

OLYMPIA – Washington Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark signed a Forest Health Hazard Warning for portions of Okanogan, Ferry, Klickitat and Yakima counties, last week, order that excluded Pend Oreille County. Citing concerns for catastrophic wildfire and bugkilled trees, the Goldmark took action to warn forest landowners and encourage them to take voluntary action to protect their property.

“I am sounding the alarm about our declining forest health. Working with property owners and land managers, we can restore the health of our forests and reduce the effects of catastrophic fire,” Goldmark said. “Proactive measures like responsible forest thinning will create jobs in rural communities where they are needed most.”

Janet Pearce of the state Department of Natural Resources said while forest health issues are present throughout eastern Washington, including Pend Oreille County, tackling a problem of this size outpaces existing resources.

“We must get start on it using areas of strategic focus,” she said.

She said estimates are that 2.8 million acres may experience heavier-than-normal damage, which is nearly a third of all forestland in eastern Washington.

“The areas selected represent a combination of ongoing damage, high potential for it to worsen, and high potential for success in taking timely on-the-ground action, as recommended by a

Girls raise money for Stratton Elementary NEWPORT – Neighbors Kiara Kinney and Neveah Frederick got an idea to help their local schools, inspired by Kinney’s grandmother, Sandy Paul. Paul is opening a secondhand store and will donate half the revenue to the Newport School District.

Kinney, 10, and Frederick, 8, thought they could help out too. The girls held a bake sale at Anastasia’s Spa Wednesday, Aug. 28 in downtown Newport. They sold baked made at Frederick’s house and sold all but four cupcakes, Kinney said.

The girls raised $16 and will be donating the funds to Stratton Elementary, where Frederick attends school. Kinney is starting at Sadie Halstead Middle School this week.

The girls said the funds can be used for whatever the school needs.

NEWPORT – The Pend Oreille Players will present Arthur Miller’s Tony Award winning story of Willy Loman, a failing salesman who cannot understand how he failed to achieve the American Dream.

“Death of a Salesman” will be performed for two weeks this month at the Pend Oreille Playhouse, 240 N. Union Ave. in Newport. The opening date is Sept. 20 with additional shows Sept. 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29 and 30. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances start at 7 p.m., and Sunday matinees are at 3 p.m.

Tickets are $10 in advance for adults or $12 at the door.

Youth tickets for kids 18 and under are $5. Purchase at the box office, call 509-671-3389 or buy online at www.pendoreilleplayers.org.

This production is directed

by Millie Brumbaugh and produced by the Pend Oreille Players and Paul Wham.

Bhikkuni Day celebrates Buddhist nuns, women’s spiritual leadership NEWPORT – Why would a Western woman leave her family, shave her head, and don the plain robes and simple lifestyle of a Buddhist nun? And what impact does her choice have on society?

The Alliance for Bhikkhunis, Sravasti Abbey, and the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane will explore these questions when they join forces to celebrate Buddhist nuns and women in spiritual leadership on International Bhikkhuni Day. Saturday, Sept. 29, they’ll hold a workshop from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane.

In conjunction with the event, there will be a showing of the documentary film “Blessings: the Tsoknyi Nangchen Nuns of Tibet” Friday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m., also at the Unitarian Church, 4340 W. Fort Wright Blvd.

“Bhikkuni” is the Pali name for a fully ordained Buddhist nun. The Spokane Bhikkuni Day celebration includes a half-day workshop to explore the universality of compassion and the roles of women – lay and monastic – in spiritual leadership. The morning will include meditations, dialogue with Buddhist nuns from Newport’s Sravasti Abbey, a talk by the abbey’s founder Venerable Thubten Chodron, and small group reflections and interaction. Spokane meditation teacher Dori Langevin will lead meditation as a part of the International Bhikkuni Day program.

Custer’s Grass Band is one of 15 bands performing at the Newport Music Festival, set for Sept. 7-9 at Newport City Park.

Newport Music Festival acts announced Three-day event includes youth band contest, open mics, band scramble

NEWPORT – Organizers of the Newport Music Festival Association are happy with the caliber of musicians they attracted for the Newport Music Festival, set for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 7-9 at Newport City Park.

“The 2012 lineup exceeded all of our expectations,” said Mark Harding, one of the organizers.

“We are very pleased to announce that we have contracted 15 acts to perform this year on our main stage.”

Some of the most recognized names from the region will perform, including Jim Faddis (formally of Spokane’s Prairie Flyer), coming from his new digs in western Washington, Custer’s Grass Band, who recorded the Northwest’s first album in 1976, and Big Red Barn, a group celebrating their 10th year together with “Barn Again” their new CD. Also performing are Molly & Tenbrooks, a group that performs

familiar melodies interwoven with lyrics that are put to tunes stretching the bounds of bluegrass, include swing, country, rock and roll and gospel.

This year’s festival will include some artists performing for the first time in Newport.

Chet O’Keefe will be performing his song, “Ring the Bell.” The song was chosen as the International Bluegrass Music Association Song of the Year as recorded by the Gibson Brothers, and was at No. 1 on the bluegrass charts for three months in 2010.

Digger Davis and Tombstone, a band based in College Station, Texas, will be playing. For more on the groups, go online to www. pvbluegrass.com.

The three-day event is more than a concert.

On Saturday a Contra dance will be held, with Nora Scott, one of Spokane’s best callers. She will teach the dance, then call it while the band plays. The dance begins after the last set on the main stage Saturday night.

There will be a new open mic

format with sets spread out during the festival between main stage acts.

A Youth Band Competition will be held, with a first prize of $300. If you know of any young people who might be interested in competing, please encourage them and have them call us and reserve a spot.

There will be a band scramble.

In a band scramble musicians are randomly mixed and have only an hour to come up with a creative band name and rehearse two songs to present to the audience.

Workshops in various instruments, vocals, song writing and even proper sound stage techniques will be presented this year.

There will also be jamming galore.

Admission is $35 for the weekend, $10 for Friday night, $15 for all day Saturday, $10 for Saturday night or $10 for Sunday. A family pack is available for $120. Threeday weekend passes and family packs include camping. For more information call 509-738-4141.

NEWPORT – Physicist Albert Einstein once noted, “If there is any religion that could respond to the needs of modern science, it would be Buddhism.”

“Science, creation and rebirth” is the topic for Sharing the Dharma Day at Sravasti Abbey, a Buddhist monastery outside of Newport. The event is planned for Sunday, Sept. 9, from 9:45 a.m. to 3 p.m.

According Sravasti Abbey founder, Buddhist nun and author Venerable Thubten Chodron, Buddhism has many points in common with modern science.

“Both depend on logic and investigation to ascertain the nature of phenomena,” she explained.

“Both discourage blind belief and encourage free inquiry on the part of the student. Both science and Buddhism rely upon cause and effect to explain how things function, and both emphasize the dependent nature of phenomena.”

Venerable Chodron will elaborate on these and other points

Council will consider variance for subdivision IONE – The Ione town council will consider a request from a landowner to reduce the right of way along the road within a proposed subdivision.

Sam Nicholas has requested a variance from the town’s development code that would reduce the right of way along Riverside Avenue from 60 feet to 30 feet.

He’s also requesting to reduce the lot frontage on one lot from 50 feet to 30 feet.

A hearing on the variance request will be held Oct. 3 at 7:15 p.m. at the town hall.

A year ago, the town annexed Nicholas’s property into the town boundaries.

The application is available for review at the Pend Oreille County Community Development Department in Newport.

Washington students facing steep back-toschool budget cuts OLYMPIA – Washington students are back to class, and they’re walking into schools that are receiving less funding this year than last year.

The Center for Budget Policies and Priorities released a report Tuesday that found that 26 states will be providing less money per student in the 2013 fiscal school year than they did last year.

Of those states, Alaska, Alabama and Washington are leading in per-pupil education cuts. Alaska will spend $533 less per student, Alabama will spend $221 less, and Washington state will be providing $204 less per

student. The average cut of the 26 states was about $68.

The report found that 35 states have cut education funding in the five years since the start of the recession in 2008.

Washington came closer to the middle of the pack when looking at cuts during the recession.

While Alaska and Alabama cut education funding by more than 20 percent over the last five years, Washington reduced spending by 2.8 percent.

The report warns that “at current growth rates it will take years before state revenues are able to sustain services like K-12 education at normal levels.”

Bonner County passes budget

BY MICHELLE NEDVED OF THE MINER

SANDPOINT – Bonner County commissioners passed a balanced budget last week for the 2013 fiscal year, which began Sept. 1.

The $6 million budget contains an increase of $206,889 in property taxes, but that is based on new construction. Commissioners decided to not take the 3 percent property tax increase allowed by state law. Property taxes will total $21,541,928.

The county took a different approach to the budget this year, using zero-based budgeting, where department heads had to justify each line item to the commissioners. This resulted in more than $2 million being removed from the budget compared to last year.

Most all departments made cuts: commissioners $18,510; coroner $2,156; emergency management $22,394; personnel $672; planning $46,238; GIS $9,440; road & bridge $893,179; drug court $8,800; probation services $174,991; indigency $17,555; solid waste $208,023; tort $104,036; weeds $87,365; parks and recreation $3,945; sheriff $140,767; prosecuting attorney $18,526; juvenile detention $9,526; general, justice fund $184,276; jail, sheriff $59,931; marine patrol, sheriff $1,640; building and grounds $3,062 and LID administration fund $25,000.

This savings allowed $874,076 to be moved to the courthouse construction fund. The remodel of the historic building has caused the county some budgeting problems because the process was condensed from a projected schedule of five to seven years down to two and a half years, according to commissioner Cornel Rasor. The project was sped up because of concerns over asbestos that resulted in a code review and process issues, Rasor said.

The building construction fund was reduced by $4,606,530 over last year’s budget, and the ambulance tort fund was reduced by $6,309.

Some line items were increased over last year’s budget. The new Frontier phone fee for E-911 will cost $110,500. Other increases, ranging from $35,000 to $1,000 per line item include a copy machine for the recorder’s office, new banking fees, tax deed title searches, computer support and upgrades in the commissioners’ office, office supplies, janitorial cleaning and maintenance, telephone maintenance contract, outside engineering for the planning department (offset by fees), GIS license fees, aerial photos for GIS, new heaters at the fairgrounds, insurance, deductibles and Bonner County’s share of a new regional mental health facility in Coeur d’Alene.

Civil litigation is expected to cost about $285,000. The

county is in the middle of two cases. SilverWing, a fly-in airpark community in Sandpoint, filed a lawsuit arguing the county has not treated them fairly in regards to access agreements and wasn’t

upfront about relocating a runway at the Sandpoint Airport.

Other litigation facing the county is the judicial confirmation commissioner Mike Nielsen is pursuing in regards to inter-

fund loans done by the county.

Nielsen believes it is illegal for the county to borrow between funds, even with plans to pay those funds back over time with interest.

Why did you buy from Rokstad Ford?

Because we wanted to purchase locally with all things being equal, and the reputation of Rokstad is one of the better reputations around. Also a couple of different friends mentioned that buying from Rokstad Ford would be a good experience and they were right. The entire buying experience was no pressure, relaxed and friendly.

Spartan defender Michaela Dreyer, a junior, readies for a kick in Friday’s game against Orofino.

IONE – The Selkirk football team easily handled Northport Friday evening, in the first game of the season. Selkirk won the non-league contest 64-14.

“I was very pleased for our first game out,” coach Kelly Cain said. “The boys worked hard.”

He said they did a lot of O N D EC K: things AT CLARK FORK Friday, right, but Sept. 7, 7 p.m. there are always things to work on.

Selkirk was the first to score on an 11-yard run by Trevor Grant. The two-point conversation failed and Northport responded with a 75-year pass play and the extra two for eight points, for their only lead of the game. Selkirk pulled ahead with a 25-yard run by Mike Haskins and a 20-yard pass play from Dominic Cain to Beau Taylor.

Selkirk led 20-8 at the end of the first quarter.

Northport was the first to score in the second quarter, on a 10-yard run. Selkirk scored 30 points, with two touchdowns

by Grant and two by Cain. Cain completed passes to Taylor and Emery Maupin.

In the third quarter, Selkirk scored on a fumble recovery by Mikey Weiss and on a pass from Cain to Weiss.

Grant was the leading rusher with 269 yards on 20 carries.

Cain went seven of 11 passing for 155 yards and four TDs. Taylor had four receptions for 68 yards and two TDs. Coach Cain is looking forward to good season.

“We have a good group of players with good attitudes and good work ethics. The team chemistry has been outstanding so far,” he said.

The Rangers travel to Clark Fork Friday, Sept. 7 to play at 7 p.m. in another non-league game.

New coach at helm of Spartan football

Lifelong Priest River resident Shane Douglas takes reigns

BY MICHELLE NEDVED OF THE MINER

PRIEST RIVER – For the third year in a row a new coach is leading the Priest River varsity football team. Shane Douglas is a lifelong resident of Priest River and played football for the Spartans for three years as quarterback and cornerback.

He has been an assistant coach for Priest River, starting when his son, Tyler Douglas, was a senior on the team in 2010.

Douglas said he has basically restarted the team, starting with the fundamentals.

“It’s just been nothing but changes,” he said.

Those changes seem to be paying off. Priest River won their first game of the season – and their first game since Douglas’s son played Douglas – Friday night against Kettle Falls.

Douglas said he has coached various teams over the years, but had never thought about coaching high school until he started with the Spartans football team.

“I really fell in love with coaching kids,” he said.

He’s pleased with his team’s efforts so far.

“They’re doing great,” he said, although there has been one injury.

“That’s football. Unfortunately

Wildlife summit draws a diverse crowd it, than a world in which nobody gives a damn,” Mahoney said during his presentation Saturday.

More than 800 people had signed up to participate. Many others participated online; more than 3,000 logged on the Internet to watch the streaming video.

Over the next few days and weeks, staff members will be poring over more than 20 hours of video tape, reading reams of comments and combing through hundreds of poll responses. The entire three-day event was recorded. Video will be available on the Fish and Game website as soon as it has been transferred into an online format and arranged into sections by presentations and activities, such as individual speakers and the Idaho Café group discussion session. That will take several days to a week.

It is too early to characterize what those reviews will look like, what format they might be in, or when they will be available. That depends, at least in part, on the nature and volume of comments.

football and to keep other teams guessing.

This year’s quarterback, Cameron Riley, returns to the position from last year. Douglas said he’s doing a great job.

This week, Priest River faces Newport, a rivalry Douglas remembers from his days in school. He pointed out it’s the most exciting game of the season.

“It’s the free-for-all of the year,” he said. “It’s always exciting.”

He noted a lot of the kids are friends, which is different from his day, but doesn’t detract from hype.

“It’s pretty hard to not want to watch that game,” he said.

“What can you say? It’s Newport.”

BOISE – People from around the state participated in person and online in the Idaho Wildlife Summit over the weekend of Aug. 24-26. The list of those tuning in online spanned the globe, with people logging in from across the United States and in countries that included the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Hungary.

“It went better than I could have expected,” Fish and Game Director Virgil Moore said. “I am encouraged that such a diverse group expressed such a strong consensus on conservation values.”

Featured speaker Shane Mahoney of Newfoundland, Canada, praised the Idaho Department of Fish and Game for taking on the challenge of bringing together diverse interests in wildlife conservation – people who have a passion for wildlife and conservation in common.

“I’d much sooner have a world filled with people who are so vitally concerned with wildlife that they fight all the time about

it’s a physical sport,” he said.

Eyeing the Intermountain League, Douglas pointed out that the Spartans aren’t the only team with a new coach. Bonners Ferry’s coach is new this season and Kellogg’s coach is only in his second season.

Mr. Norton talked of running an Idaho skidding jammer at age 12 during the summer break from school. He dropped out of school after finishing the eighth grade and went to work in the woods full time.

Mr. Norton met the love of his live Carol Brazington in 1953 and they where married Jan. 22, 1956. Jim and Carol raised their family in Squaw Valley until 1983.
