Smoke is no joke in Pend Oreille River Valley

By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner

NEWPORT – Smoke from various wildfires across the Pacific Northwest filled the Pend Oreille River Valley Monday, Sept. 4, and showed no signs of dissipating come Tuesday. A “Hazardous” air quality warning was issued for several counties in Northeast Washington, including Pend Oreille County, by the state Department of Ecology.

“Today, as I’m sure you can see and smell, the air is terrible,” said Alyssa Spradley, Environmental Health Director at Northeast Tri County Health Tuesday morning in a Facebook message to The Miner. “The smoke from (wildfires) in British Columbia, Idaho and Montana are being blown our way.”

air: Students have the option of studying inside The Miner Tuesday afternoon.

“We will continue to monitor the air quality on a daily basis, as we are preparing to see these smoky conditions for the coming weeks.”

In regards to recesses and P.E. classes, Smith added that building principals will be assessing air quality daily using guidelines from the Department of Ecology starting Wednesday, Sept.

6, at 7 a.m., 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to determine if the air is “good”, “moderate”, “unhealthy for sensitive groups”, “unhealthy,” or “very unhealthy/hazardous.”

Using the Air Pollution and School Activities Guide, building principals will make the appropriate call regarding students being allowed to go outside as well as the appropriate physical level of indoor activities, if air conditions are in the “hazardous” range.

All students will have the option of staying inside if they feel distress due to smoke, even if the air quality is deemed good enough to go outside.

If a student has been identified with having asthma or any other respiratory difficulties, he/ she will not be allowed outside until the air quality reading is “good.”

All volleyball was canceled for Newport School District on Tuesday, Sept. 5, along with the first girls’ soccer game of the season.

Soccer practice was relocated to Stratton Elementary School

From Page 1

As of Tuesday afternoon, there were more than 74 major wildfires burning in eight western states including Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and California. On Saturday, Sept. 2, Gov. Jay Inslee declared a state of emergency for all of Washington. Two hundred soldiers from Joint Base Louis-McChord were mobilized to help with fires in southern Oregon, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.

“It is highly suggested to limit physical activity outside and to stay inside as much as possible,” wrote Spradley.

Spradley also advised that with increased particulates in the air it is best to use a home’s mechanical ventilation and not bring in outside air. When driving, utilize the vehicle’s recirculation of the interior air. For people with asthma, respiratory infection, lung or heart disease, and diabetes, she added that this is most important, and they may need to seek further advice from their doctor.

“With school underway and your students in our care, I want you to know that Newport School District is monitoring the air quality very closely and we are taking appropriate precautions,” said Newport School District Superintendent Dave Smith in a press release sent to

gymnasium. Cross Country and football practice was moved inside Newport High School.

In a letter sent to parents, is said that middle and high school Athletic Directors and Discovery Center coordinators will be notified of the latest air quality reading no later than 2 p.m. daily to make decisions regarding outside activity for games and practices. Utilizing the Air Pollution and School Activities criteria, they will determine if activities will be inside or outside. If the readings are in the “hazardous” range, inside physical activity will still be limited, according to the letter. Tuesday’s air was considered hazardous by school officials.

West Bonner County was also plagued with smoke, with Priest Lamanna High School (PRLHS) canceling soccer games scheduled for Tuesday evening.

“Due to air quality alert in effect until 6:30 tomorrow morning, we will be postponing tonight’s soccer games here in Priest River,” wrote PRLHS Matt George in an email Tuesday, Sept. 5. George said he would notify the public when new dates are scheduled for the postponed matches.

The Spartan boys’ and girls’ soccer teams had been scheduled to host the Timberlake Tigers.

Tuesday afternoon the Panhandle Health District (PHD) and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is-

sued a Wildfire Smoke Advisory for Bonner, Boundary, Kootenai, Shoshone, and Benewah Counties, categorizing air quality as “unhealthy” to “hazardous.”

Residents were advised to avoid heavy work or exercise outdoors; set air conditioning units and car vent systems to re-circulate, using portable air purifiers to remove particles for homes without a central heating and/or cooling system; limit time outdoors, especially for those with respiratory conditions or heart disease; drink plenty of water, and seek medical treatment for uncontrolled coughing, wheezing, choking, or if having difficulty breathing once you move back indoors. The press release from Panhandle Health advised that older adults, pregnant women, children and those with pre-existing respiratory issues or heart disease are often more affected by these conditions.

According to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, air pollution conditions across all of North Idaho have ranged from unhealthy to hazardous since Monday. The air quality advisory for North Idaho will remain in effect through Thursday, Sept. 7, when conditions will be evaluated again on a county-by-county basis.

b r i e f ly Avista seeks Idaho natural gas increase SPOKANE – Avista has made annual rate adjustment filings with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC or Commission) that if approved, mean Avista residential customers using an average of 61 therms per month could expect their monthly bill to increase from by 28 cents from $51.10 to $51.38, beginning Nov. 1.

These annual filings are separate from the general rate case request filed in June 2017 regarding base retail rates in Idaho and are not related to the proposed acquisition of Avista by Hydro One. Avista proposed reducing the Purchased Gas Cost Adjustment, as natural gas prices remain low.

Avista also proposes an increase to the natural gas fixed cost adjustment mechanism (FCA). The FCA mechanism is designed to break the link between a utility’s revenues and customers’ energy usage.

Avista’s actual revenue, based on therm sales, will vary, up or down, from the level included in a general rate case and approved by the Commission. This could be caused by changes in weather, energy conservation or the economy. The increase is driven primarily by a lower level of customer usage in 2016 because of warmer than usual weather.

District Court Judge Van de Veer on medical leave NEWPORT – Pend Oreille County has contracted with two district court judges to cover for Pend Oreille County District Court Judge Phil Van de Veer, who is out on medical leave, according to Prosecutor Dolly Hunt. “We’re planning on him being gone until the end of the year,� Hunt said. The county agreed to hire Judge Dan B. Johnson at $4,000 per month to handle the criminal docket and attorney Eric Dooyema for civil cases. They agreed to pay Dooyema $250 a day, according to draft county commission minutes.

Fire deaths on the rise in 2017

OLYMPIA – The State Fire Marshal’s Office encourages residents to turn their attention to fire prevention, as fire deaths across the state have increased this year – currently at 54 deaths compared to 55 total in 2016.

Although the data is preliminary, the largest estimated jump in fire deaths this year is among adults age 65 and over, up 67 percent over the 15 deaths recorded for this age group this time, last year. Smoking and electrical related hazards are the leading reported causes of fire ignition attributed in these deaths.

People should under-

stand that any situation involving fire hazards can become deadly in seconds, regardless of a person’s age.

The State Fire Marshal’s Office recommends these life-saving, fire safety tips: • Have properly installed smoke alarms on every level of your home, including the basement and in every bedroom and outside of each sleeping area. • In the event of a fire, get out and stay out.

Never go back into a burning home. • Know at least two ways to get out of every room in your home. • Replace smoke alarms that are over See deaths, 5A

Correction Some information in last week’s front page story about Anne Sweetman were incorrect. Her husband Fred died in 1999. The island in Greece was Cephalonia and the village was Assos. The Miner regrets any confusion this may have caused.

People coming together is silver lining to Hurricane Harvey

A

ll of the things that went wrong in New Orleans with Hurricane Katrina in 2005, appear to have been corrected with Houston’s recent Hurricane Harvey.

Chalk it up to a series of important lessons learned.

By now everyone knows that Harvey came ashore from the Gulf of Mexico, dumped a record 51 inches of rain on 22 million people from Corpus Christi to Port Arthur, Texas, and sent thousands to shelters.

The hurricane hit Houston, g u e st America’s fourth largest city o p i n i o n and an urban area that accounts for 3 percent of our nation’s GDP. It had the makings DON C. of a mammoth disaster, but BRUNELL despite the enormous damage, Texas seems to be working through it. However, there is a long road ahead.

The storm dumped an estimated 27 trillion gallons of rain on Texas and Louisiana in six days, Ryan Maue from weather analytics company, WeatherBell, told CNN. That’s enough to fill the Houston Astrodome 85,000 times or San Francisco Bay 10.6 times at high tide.

Harvey knocked out water treatment plants, hospitals and large oil refineries particularly in the Port Arthur area.

Forbes reported that 3.04 million barrels per day of refining capacity is still down in Texas.

That is equivalent to 16 percent of the country’s oil refining capacity. As a result, the price of a gallon of gas shot up an average of 10 cents overnight on Sept. 1.

Harvey’s death toll currently stands at 52 compared to more than 1,800 people from Katrina.

So where is the silver lining?

This time our elected officials from President Trump, to governors of Texas and Louisiana and the mayors along the Gulf Coast were well prepared and coordinated. Local, state and federal government law enforcement and emergency responders and the Coast Guard, Texas National Guard and other military units were ready.

Help came swiftly. The result is more than 72,000 people and thousands of pets have been rescued so far.

Louisiana’s Cajun Navy landed in Houston as Harvey came ashore. Its armada fishing boats and raised (big-wheel) pickups immediately started picking up victims stranded in flooded homes.

When police and fire officials needed flat bottomed boats, Bass Pro Shop sent 80 and $40,000 in provisions to match.

In addition to Houston’s churches, schools and public buildings, neighbors and friends are providing shelter. Local businessman, Jim McIngvale – better known as “Mattress Mack” – opened his Gallery Furniture stores and more than 400 people have new beds and furniture. McIngvale also helped some of the 40,000 Katrina evacuees who stayed in Houston.

Large corporations such as Walmart have pledged millions in donations. Walmart opened its stores to supply necessities. That’s in addition to the $20 million in cash.

A Chick-fil-A manager even sent a rescue boat to an elderly couple’s home to evacuate them to the restaurant after they phoned in an order for two chicken burritos.

All-Pro Texan defensive end has collected nearly $20 million including a million from TV host Ellen DeGeneres.

President Trump seeks nearly $8 billion in federal disaster relief. Hopefully, it will not be delayed or loaded with other spending demands from Congress. “Give Texas everything it needs, and do it right quick,” Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan declared last weekend.

Texas is showing it has strong American Spirit and people from across our nation are pitching in to help people in need regardless ethnic, gender or income background. Anyone who calls gets it.

It is refreshing to see people helping people and public servants and volunteers working side-by-side. No doubt there are glitches, but it is saving lives. It is the way our country should operate. The real silver lining is Hurricane Harvey is bringing Americans together.

Labrador applauds decision to end DACA

McMorris Rodgers wants long-term certainty for DACA

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Raúl Labrador, R-Idaho, Chairman of the House Immigration and Border Security Subcommittee, applauded President Trump’s decision today to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

DACA, which was created by President Obama in 2012, allows certain illegal immigrants who entered the country as minors, to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for work authorization.

“I have consistently opposed DACA because it’s an unconstitutional program that undermines the rule of law,” Labrador said. “President Obama did not have the authority to create DACA; only Congress could establish such a program. I applaud President Trump for respecting the Constitution and keeping a campaign promise. Through his action today, President Trump is creating leverage for larger immigration reform, which should include border wall funding and stronger interior enforcement. As Chairman of the Immigration and Border Security Subcommittee, I will continue working with my colleagues and the Administration on fixing all aspects of our broken immigration system.”

Approximately 800,000 illegal immigrants are currently enrolled in DACA and up to 900,000 others were eligible for the program.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Eastern Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., released this statement following the announcement to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program Tuesday, Sept. 5: “I’ve long said I didn’t agree with the way the previous administration went about enacting DACA, but we must protect children who are already here in this country and those who are currently protected under DACA. That principle is fundamental for me. It’s also clear that we must work in Congress to provide long-term certainty for DACA recipients, like those here in Eastern Washington, and recognize their unique circumstances and the value they bring to the country as students, job-holders, members of the military, and members of society. I’m committed to working with my colleagues in the House to establish common sense policies for children of immigrants, policies that recognize that many of these children came to our country at no fault of their own.”

Winter or no winter That is the question

By Bob Lutz Climatologist

SACHEEN LAKE – I don’t know about you, but a little snow or ice about now would feel real good after such a blazing hot summer.

Too bad we can’t have the seasons mixed up a bit, with a little heat one day, and snow the next ... Oh wait a minute, that’s what we call spring around Lutz these parts.

Okay, so a little test for you who follow my summer articles. Do you remember where I told you that our local red squirrels were building their nests this past spring? And, what that might mean for our summer

weather? Think about it and I’ll have the answer for you at the end of this article.

Now onto the meat (mmmmmmm-mmm MEAT) of this commentary, which will include what my pee-brain thinks the upcoming winter might bring to us here in our little corner of Washington.

Whether you love winter or hate it, most will probably welcome that first day of cool, refreshing air once it arrives.

Our patterns this summer were like none we have seen in quite some time. In fact, some records broken this season were older than the day – well, maybe not quite that old, but we certainly saw 100-year-old records fall with the brutal heat this season.

As of this writing, we have had

The tension between the United States and North Korea continues to escalate, with North Korea exploding a thermonuclear bomb over the weekend.

China, with Russia’s support, has made what it calls the “suspension-for-suspension proposal,” urging the suspension of North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile programs in return for a halt to joint military exercises by the United States and South Korea. The U.S. has rejected such a proposal.

Should the U.S. suspend joint military exercises with South Korea in exchange for North Korea stopping its nuclear weapon program?

Yes, it a fair way to deescalate the possibility of nuclear war.

No, as a practical matter, the U.S. needs the joint exercises now more than ever.

31 days over 90 degrees with five of them soaring to over 100, which I don’t have to tell you is quite unusual for south Pend Oreille County. Other than thunderstorm activity, precipitation days have been far and few between.

The combination of heat and dry weather has resulted in one of the busiest fires seasons in recent memory – and – one grumpy climatologist as well. (No, I am not a big fan of the heat at all, though a fan is exactly what saved my hide this summer).

As far as I am concerned, there was one main culprit that caused all the drama this summer. It is that monster pool of unusually warm water in the Eastern Pacific See weather, 5A

r e ad e r ’ s p o l l r e s u lt s Do you think the federal government should continue to offer flood insurance?

It should be a combination. Lower income folks should be able to get government assistance, but people with higher incomes should purchase insurance privately.

No. It should be up to the individual homeowner, who chooses to live in a flood zone, to secure their own insurance.

37% 45% 18% Yes. If the federal government didn’t offer the program, it would adversely affect lower income people who can’t afford high insurance premiums or to move.

Phone and Internet Discounts Available to CenturyLink Customers The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission designated CenturyLink as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier within its service area for universal service purposes.

Centur yLink’s basic local service rates for residential voice lines are $22.00 per month and business services are $35.00 per month.

Specific rates will be provided upon request.

Centur yLink participates in a government benefit program (Lifeline) to make residential telephone or broadband service more affordable to eligible low-income individuals and families.

Eligible customers are those that meet eligibility standards as defined by the FCC and state commissions. Residents who live on federally recognized Tribal Lands may qualify for additional Tribal benefits if they participate in certain additional federal eligibility programs. The Lifeline discount is available for only one telephone or broadband service per household, which can be on either wireline or wireless service. Broadband speeds must be 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload or faster to qualify.

Lifeline discounts include a transfer restriction (port freeze).

This means that you are unable to obtain the Lifeline discount on service with another provider for a period of time. The length of time depends on the services you purchase – 60 days for voice telephone service, 12 months for qualifying broadband service.

Certain exceptions to the transfer restrictions may apply. See http://www.lifelinesupport.org/ls/change-my-company.aspx for more information.

Westside Calispel Road fire When firefighters arrived mid afternoon Tuesday, Aug. 29, this Westside Calispel Road residence was about 70 percent involved in fire, with a nearby grass fire. The home was unoccupied at the time of the fire, Fire District 4 Chief Nick Knaack said.

He said fire crews were able to contain the fire so it didn’t get to nearby buildings or cars. The state Department of Natural Resources, the federal Forest Service, Fire District 6 and South Pend Oreille Fire and Rescue crews all helped. The fire is under investigation.

Watch out for Hurricane Harvey relief scams OLYMPIA – Washington’s Secretary of State Kim Wyman and Attorney General Bob Ferguson are teaming up to urge everyone to be aware of scam artists exploiting relief efforts for Hurricane Harvey, which recently struck the southeastern Texas coast. “When there is a natural disaster, scam artists try to take advantage of people’s compassion,� Wyman wrote in a press release. “Scammers might try to persuade consumers to give money for Hurricane Harvey relief. I encourage people to check the Secretary of State’s Charities Program webpage when

they come across charities related to relief efforts.�

Here are tips for wise and prudent gift-giving: Be suspicious of solicitors requesting immediate donations. Don’t give in to high-pressure tactics.

Be sure to take time to research the charity.

Check out the organization’s registration status by going to the Charities Program webpage or calling 1-800-3324483. Pay with care.

Never give out credit card numbers over the phone. Avoid cash donations. Write a check directly to the charity, not the fundraiser.

Be wary of “new� charities with unverifiable background or contact information.

Don’t be fooled by a name. Watch out for charities that use sympatheticsounding names or names

particular El Nino cycle will become rather strong for the upcoming winter season.

All this points toward another warmer than normal winter for the Pacific Northwest as an active subtropical storm track will likely keep us under the influence of the milder Pacific marine air mass. While there will no doubt be some colder periods mixed in, I think that by the time it is all said and done, the overall average temperature will come in well above normal.

Precipitation amounts on the other hand are still the big unknown as some strong El Nino events could be rather moist.

The fly in the ointment (and it’s the mother of all flies) is this larger pool of warm water just off our coast. Persistence tells me that we’ll probably see more of the same; however, I should point out that this warm water event in the Eastern Pacific is unprecedented in “recorded� history so it’s really a wait and see thing.

Now, back to this squirrel business. For those of you who follow my summer articles on a regular basis, you know that I have a particularly keen interest as to what our local red squirrel does to prepare for the upcoming seasons.

In one of my earlier

articles, I told you they were building their nests at the base of the trees, instead of up higher in the trees like they normally do.

One could only conclude that this was because they wanted to capitalize on the cooler ground temperatures as I suspected - that they suspected - that it was going to be a particularly hot summer.

Well what do you know, they called it right again.

By the way, our squirrels have just started to cut cones off the trees which is a month later than when they started last year. Bet it’s going to be a mild fall too. Okay, consider yourself informed, (or at least marginally entertained) and whatever the weather brings this upcoming winter, remember to stay safe.

Ocean, which some have so lovingly named “The Blob.�

This area of warm water was observed late last year and has only expanded in coverage in recent months.

It currently extends from southern California all the way to the Gulf of Alaska. This phenomenon has resulted in a nearly stagnant area of high pressure, which has essentially blocked most of the major Pacific storms from entering the West Coast.

In addition, the primary air circulation around the high has been from a rather warm southerly direction and I don’t have to tell you what that did for us over the past few months.

So the big question is, ‘will this phenomenon stick around for the upcoming winter season like an unwelcome ground squirrel?’ (Yes, I’m still mad at those things) Well, I think the short answer is yes. While there is still a lot of uncertainty as to why this warm water developed in the first place, most climatologists agree that it will be very slow to dissipate. In addition, the El Nino (warm water phenomenon in the equatorial Pacific) continues to strengthen. Oddly enough, many long-range models are in surprisingly good agreement that this

HAYDEN – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded Panhandle Health District’s (PHD) Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program with the Loving Support Gold Elite Award of Excellence. This is the highest level of recognition by Loving Support. PHD’s WIC Program is the first local agency in the country to have achieved this prestigious honor.

“This award underscores the amazing work our staff do every day to support local families,” said Mary Monroe, PHD Breastfeeding Coordinator in a news release. “We aim to provide encouragement and support to empower mothers as they strive to meet their personal breastfeeding goals.”

More than 7,600 people, including more than 1,000 infants, received WIC benefits from Panhandle Health District in 2016. More than 40 percent of infants enrolled in WIC were fully breastfed for their first six months. That is far and above the national average, reported at 13 percent of infants in the USDA’s 2016 Breastfeeding report.

In addition to remarkable breastfeeding data, PHD was recognized for its peer counseling services, supportive and breastfeeding-friendly environment, and strong community partnerships.

Panhandle Health District WIC has six locations in Hayden, Post Falls, Kellogg, Sandpoint, St. Maries and Bonners Ferry. Qualified WIC families receive nutritional education, monthly vouchers to purchase healthy food, breastfeeding support and counseling, as well as resources and referrals to meet each clients’ needs.

GOLDENDALE – For the first time in Washington, wildlife managers have found in deer a viral infection known as Adenovirus Hemorrhagic Disease (AHD).

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) officials confirmed AHD, which can be deadly to deer, in a herd east of Goldendale in Klickitat County. This type of AHD is specific to deer and is not uncommon in other states, including Oregon where an outbreak was reported near The Dalles earlier this year.

AHD specific to deer does not pose a risk to livestock, pets, or people – from contact or by consuming the meat. However, the use of rubber gloves is always recommended for handling any wildlife carcass.

Signs of deer with AHD include rapid or open-

mouth breathing, foaming or drooling at the mouth, diarrhea, weakness, and emaciation. Most of the dead deer reported were fawns, which is common with AHD. Death can occur within three to five days from the time a deer is exposed to the virus, although not all infected deer die. Cases of AHD typically peak in midsummer and taper off in the fall.

There is no known cure or treatment for the virus.

AHD is transmitted by direct contact between deer, making it more likely for the virus to spread in areas with high deer concentrations, Bergh said.

“For that reason we ask people not to concentrate deer by providing feed or water for them,” she said.

“That is the best way we can help minimize the spread of this disease.”

T

he second Vintage Trailer Rally, held Thursday through Monday, Aug. 31-Sept.

4, in Newport, drew 64 participants. They landed at Camp Runamuck, as the camping area near the rodeo grounds was known for the event.

Attendance was up from 50 the year before, said event organizer Doug Johnson. The trailers came from as far away as Tucson Ariz., to Moab, Utah, to British Columbia. Other states represented included Montana, Oregon and Idaho, in addition to Washington participants.

All the money raised at the event went to Shepherds for Lost Sheep, a group of veterans who train guide dogs for other veterans.

12 Angry Jurors opens Friday

NEWPORT – Opening this Friday at the Pend Oreille Playhouse is 12 Angry Jurors, a variation of Reginald Rose’s 1954 teleplay. Performances are Friday, Sept. 8 – Sunday, Sept. 17, 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. on Sundays.

The drama depicts the jury of a homicide trial. At the beginning, they have a nearly unanimous decision of guilty, with a single dissident, who argues for the defendant’s innocence. The story begins after closing arguments are given on the case, with the judge giving instructions to the jury.

The 12 jurors must unanimously decide on a verdict of “guilty” or “not guilty.” The case revolves around whether a young man fatally stabbed his own father. The jury is instructed that a guilty verdict will be accompanied by a mandatory death sentence. The play touches on themes of personal regret, prejudices, and doing what’s right, even when it’s not popular.

Ticket prices are $7 for seniors and $12 for general admission.

Hole-in-one at Lions’ tourney

By Don Gronning Of The Miner

IONE – Larry Persons hit the first hole-in-one at Serendipity Golf Club tournament, said course owner Karin Riley. Persons hit his hole-in-one at the 10th annual Tournament “9 for K-9’s,” tournament sponsored by the North Pend Oreille Valley Lions Club Sunday, Aug. 27. “Couldn’t happen to a nicer man,” Riley wrote in an email. “He is from Deer Lodge, Montana and came up here as he is one of the managers at the mine in Metaline Falls.”

The “9 for k-9’s” tournament raises money for leader dogs for the blind.

For the hole-in-one, Persons used a pitching wedge on hole 6, a 100yard hole.

In addition to the excitement of a hole-in-one, he won a Travis Matthew Signature outfit plus an additional $500 online shopping spree. Had he hit his hole-in-one a little earlier, it would have been worth $10,000, the prize awarded any golfer who scored a hole-in-one on the No. 3 hole. The NPOV

Larry Persons poses at the sixth hole, where he hit a hole-inone Aug. 27.

Lions Club served a great lunch and beverages for everyone and many other prizes for the best golfers, Riley said.

“There was lots of celebration as this was the

first hole-in-one at any tournament here at Serendipity Golf Course and the auction fundraiser at the end was also a great success,” Riley said. “It was an exciting day.”

school is counselor Susan Baker, who graduated from City University with a Master’s degree in education, guidance and counseling. She worked as a counselor at Chief Leschi School in Puyallup for six years and earned her National Board Certification. She went on to Riverview School District where she worked with middle school and alternative students, before moving from western Washington to eastern Washington where she accepted a yearlong assignment at Central Valley High School in Spokane Valley.

Parker is married with two boys, ages 19 and 17. She and her family moved to Chattaroy earlier this year after she accepted the position at Newport High School.

“I love my job and enjoy supporting students as they explore who they are and find their own passions,” Parker wrote in the NSD newsletter.

Over at Stratton Elementary School there is also a new counselor, Mikel Zimmerman. She received her undergraduate degree in education and psychology and a graduate degree in counseling at Eastern Washington University. She practiced as a community counselor for 15 years. She returned to graduate school at Gonzaga University to obtain her school counseling certification.

She has worked as a counselor at Athol Elementary School in Athol, Idaho, for the past three years.

The high school only had two new teachers and one of them isn’t really new.

Pearson moved from being assistant principal and athletic director to teaching science.

“It’s been three years since he’s been in the classroom,” said high school principal Troy Whittle. “But as an administrator, you’re still teaching, you’re just teaching teachers.”

The other new hire is Shayle Ehlers, who will be teaching health fitness. Ehlers earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Montana, Whittle said, and her graduate degree at Whitworth.

She is also an athlete, competing in heptathlon events. Heptathlons are made up of seven track and field events. For women, the competition includes the 100-meter hurdles, the high jump, shot put, 200-meters dash, the long jump, javelin throw and 800 meters race.

Whittle said there wasn’t much turnover this year.

Enrollment is up, however, so the high school will likely hire another history/English teacher.

Whittle said the high school is about 45-50 students over what they planned for. Last year enrollment was 340 at the high school. Early numbers at the high school this year showed an enrollment of 410, he said.

That’s good. Had they overestimated, there is a chance there would have been teacher layoffs, as school districts receive state funding based on enrollment.

At Stratton Elementary School, there are five new teachers.

Trina Freddi is teaching kindergarten, Cathy Johnson is teaching first grade, Aleesha Saunders is teaching fourth grade, Katie Moser is teaching special education and Bailey Sager is teaching music.

At Sadie Halstead Middle School, there are two new teachers – Nicole Card and Shayleen Lee.

Game officials needed for Priest River sports PRIEST RIVER — Priest River Lamanna High School is looking for a few good game officials, said assistant athletic director Tammy Benham Aug. 25. PRLHS will pay $20 per varsity game. Officials are needed to run chains at the Spartan varsity football team’s home games on Sept. 1, 8, and Oct. 6. Assistants would need to meet with officials at 6:30 p.m. each time, said Benham. Help is also needed calling volleyball lines for Spartan varsity volleyball games Sept. 7, 14, 21, 26, 28, and Oct. 5. Assistants would need to be at PRLHS 15 minutes prior to the start of varsity games, each of which are scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

Grizzlies best Spartans 29-8

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

PRIEST RIVER – The Newport Grizzles traveled across state lines to beat the rival Priest River Spartans 29-8 Friday, Sept. 1.

Both teams showed some early season nerves. But Newport settled down first and got on the scoreboard late in the first quarter with a 19-yard field goal by Adam Moorhead.

The Grizzlies got on the board two more times in the second quarter, when Koa Pancho made a 12-yard

touchdown run and later hit Tug Smith with a 27 yard touchdown pass. Moorhead had the first extra point blocked and made the second one.

Newport coach Dave Pomante said Smith had a good night, as did Pancho.

The halftime score was 16-0, Newport.

After the break, Newport picked up where they left off, with Pancho and Smith connecting on a 21-yard touchdown pass play.

Moorhead tacked on an extra point.

Newport scored on last time in the third

quarter, a four-yard run

by Matt Reel. The extra point was no good.

Priest River scored their only touchdown in the fourth quarter, when Riley Dement hit Keegan Hegel on a 32yard touchdown pass.

Dement scored on the point after run.

Priest River coach Brad Martin said Newport played well.

“They have some good players who made plays, but we made too many mistakes and made them look even better,” he said.

The girls took eighth place a.m. overall, with Sharnai Hogan posting a two minute improvement, coming in 10th at 24:36.6 to lead the Lady Spartans.

“Both boys and girls showed big improvements from last week,” said coach Lance Clark. “What we are doing in practice is working. If the kids keep working hard, it will show in their performances. I am proud of them. With a little adjustment, I really feel that the boys could have been third place of all the boys’ teams in the area.”

The cross-country season started for PRLHS at Bonners Ferry, Saturday, Aug. 26, with the boys’ taking first place overall and the girls coming in second.

“The race went well for both boys and girls groups for our size schools,” said Clark. Every school in the Intermountain League was present at the meet except Timberlake. Priest River and Bonners Ferry girls were the only full teams out of the five teams that showed up to the early season meet.

“I really feel good about having a full boys’ and girls’ team at the first meet of the season,” said Clark.

“It just maybe the first time in my coaching at PRLHS that we started with two full teams this early.”

PRIEST RIVER – Boys’ soccer was a hard fought battle at Priest River Lamanna High School last Tuesday, Aug. 29, when the Spartans faced off against the St. Maries Lumberjacks. St. Maries kept Priest River from scoring, winning the match 5-0.

The Spartans had six ON DECK: shots and 25 saves. The Lumberjacks had 35 AT GRANGEVILLE: Saturday, Sept. 9, 12 p.m. shots, and five saves. St. Maries scored four goals in the first half after Spartan Matt Brengle left the game due to a concussion from a player collision at about 20 minutes into the half. There was a definite shift in the game at this point. Injuries plagued the Spartans throughout the remainder of the game, creating difficult

Cusick beats Pateros 68-26

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

CUSICK – With the air filled with smoke from fires, the Cusick Panthers football team didn’t practice outside at all last week.

They ON DECK: also AT ALMIRA/ COULEE-HARLINE: played Friday, Sept. 8, 7 p.m. shorthanded, with only 10 players.

But they came away with a 68-26 home win over Pateros on Friday, Sept. 1.

“All 10 kids were tired by the time the game was over,” Cusick coach Troy Hendershott said. “But they held up pretty well.”

With the 8-man team only able to substitute two players, it was important the subs perform and Hendershott said they did.

Freshman Dylan Reijonen played well, Hendershott said, catching a 37-yard touchdown pass and a 2-point conversion pass, both from Tanner Shanholtzer.

Sophomore Nate Allen came off the bench and turned in a solid performance, Hendershott said.

The game started close, with Cusick scoring on its second possession, with Colton Hansen scoring on a six-yard run.

Pateros answered, scoring on a 64-yard pass.

Cusick came back with a 24-yard touchdown pass from Shanholtzer to Jed Cupp. Reijonen caught the extra points pass.

But Pateros scored again, on a 10-yard pass play. The score was 14-12.

Then Cusick started to pull away.

“We moved the ball pretty well,” Hendershott said.

The Panthers scored twice after the Pateros score – on

a 13-yard Shanholtzer run and a 37-yard pass from Shanholtzer to Reijonen.

Pateros scored on a 22yard pass, their last score of the half. The Panthers tacked on three more before halftime – a five-yard Hanson run, a 35-yard Shanholtzer to Cupp TD pass and a Tanner Shanholtzer to Trevor Shanholtzer TD pass. The score was 52-30 at the half.

In the second half Cusick added to their score when Tanner Shanholtzer picked off a pass and returned it 65 yards for a touchdown.

Hansen capped Cusick scoring with a two-yard touchdown run. Pateros scored last, on a 50-yard pass play.

Tanner Shanholtzer finished the night completing 11 of 19 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed 14 times for 103 yards and a touchdown.

Hanson carried 14 times for 107 yards and three touchdowns.

Cupp led receivers with eight catches for 167 yards and two touchdowns. Trevor Shanhotlzer caught four passes for 85 yards and a touchdown.

Hendershott said the team didn’t turn the ball over at all, while forcing five Pateros turnovers.

Cupp had two picks and five tackles and Hanson had six tackles.

Hendershott said he looks forward to two starters coming back. Dillon Hendershott is recovering from a dislocated kneecap suffered during Hoop Fest.

Caleb Ziesmer is expected to play next week.

Cusick will travel to Almira/Coulee-Hartline Friday, Sept. 8. That game starts at 7 p.m.

and in the 31st minute to end the first half leading 2-1.

“We came out battling the second half and our possession has never looked so good, even though there is lots of room for improvement,” said Fraser.

Still, St. Maries didn’t let down and came out scoring in the fifth minute. Priest River went into an offensive formation, but St. Maries got by Priest River’s defense due to poor communication, allowing St. Maries to score the 21st minute.

“We didn’t give up though, as we are Spartans,” said Fraser. “In the 26th minute Hannah Brengle, who played her best game yet and showed us speed we haven’t seen in a game before, dribbling past two defenders to beat the goalie in a one-on-one and score in the 26th minute.”

Karah Fink, following suite, did the same thing in the 36th minute after a beautiful assist from Keona Brown.

Down by one point, Keona Brown played a ball off the corner and Brengle changed the game again for a perfect volley clutching the tie 4-4.

“It was not just these amazing four offenders that tied the game for us and had 16 shots on goal, 12 of which St. Maries’ keeper Jenna Holder saved, but we had 11 saves from our goalie Lillith Hernandez to St. Maries 15 shots on goal,” said Fraser. “Where we really see the difference though is that our defense made 17 game changing saves. They held together as a back line that is forming strong bonds the longer they play. Where St. Maries and other team have majority of their starters as seniors and juniors, we started five freshmen, five sophomores, and a senior. We will become more united as the season and time goes on to be the team to beat.

Nothing makes me more proud than I was to see my girls fight the entire game, heads up, and then earn the reward of the tie they deserved.”

The Lady Spartans were scheduled to play the Timberlake Tigers at a home game Tuesday, Sept. 5, but the game was canceled due to heavy smoke.

“They have worked very hard and are looking forward to competing with everyone in the league to show their dominance,” said Clark.

“We will see what happens. It should be a great year for both of them. I am also really happy with the rest of the boys’ squad. I could not tell you who will be our third runner this year.”

Clark added that Slava Negrieiev, Jordan Phillips, or Kyler Lord could easily take that slot.

The girls took second due to a great start, but also because the other squads failed to produce five runners this early in the season.

“It is always a great start when you can get two freshman and sophomores to medal at the first meet of the season,” Clark said. “It shows that they are working hard and are excited about competing.”

Hogan, Kaitlynn Marks, and Annika Rantala all led the girls’ squad with times of 26:01, 26:55, and 28:53, respectively.

“It is still early, and the boys’ and girls’ teams have some work to do to really get to their top performances this season, but we are going to have some fun getting there,” said Clark. “Both squads are hungry to get some personal goals and improve. As a team, we talk a lot about how we want to remember this season, and I really think the kids are excited to create the best season ever for PRLHS cross-country.”

Most of the difference was passing. Newport gained 200 yards passing to 106 for the Spartans.

Pancho completed 13 of 17 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns. Priest River’s Riley Dement completed six of 16 for 106 yards and a touchdown.

Both teams used several receivers. Newport had five players catch passes, led by Smith who caught five for 99 yards and two touchdowns. Moorehead caught a pair for 34 yards, Kade Zorica caught three for 24 yards, Rylan Hastings caught one for 24 yards and Owen Leslie caught two for 19 yards.

For Priest River, Keegan Hegel caught one for 32 yards and a touchdown, Ronnie Downs caught one for 27 yards, Robbie Anselmo caught one for 25 yards, Kaleb Blancher caught two for 16 yards and Dausen O’Brien caught one for six yards.

Pancho led Newport rushing, with 53 yards on 16 carries and a touchdown. Reel scored a rushing touchdown, and had eight yards on five carries.

Robbie Anselmo led Spartan rushing, with 38 yards on 16 carries.

Defensively, Newport had two quarterback sacks, with Jacob Tanner and Lance Knight each getting to the QB. Tanner led Grizzly tackling with nine tackles, including 2.5 tackles for a loss.

On the Priest River side, Dausen O’Brien had the most tackles with seven.

Neither team had a turnover, although Newport had the ball knocked loose and had to recover their own fumble.

Newport travels to Okanogan for a game Friday, Sept. 8. Priest River will be home for a game against Medical Lake. Both are non-league games that will start at 7 p.m.

Bessie Doris Orr passed away Aug. 10, 2017, at the age of 93. She was born in Bassett, Neb. July 10, 1924, to Harry and Bessie Stahl. She was the seventh child in the family of 10.

She married Lyle Orr at the age of 17 on June 16, 1942 just before Lyle left for the army. Bessie packed her suitcase and followed him to Texas, working at the Woolworths all the time he was based there. She then followed him to Pennsylvania and worked in a sewing factory until he was shipped overseas, returning to Nebraska to wait out the war.

Orr After the war she and Lyle lived in The Newport-Bassett area working wherever they could. During this time they had their first two children, Sandra and Lonnie. In 1952 they moved to Idaho where Lyle went to work at Diamond Match sawmill.

Things were rough back then, but Bessie sewed clothing for the kids, baked bread, made cinnamon rolls, had a bottomless cookie jar, and best of all, chicken and noodles.

She always kept her family well fed and clothed.

In 1955, daughter Barbara was born and the following year Lylia. In 1960 Brian joined the family. So the family of seven had to move from the small house on Montana Ave. to the larger house on Meadowdale Ave. Throughout her children’s school years she was very active in the PTA, organizing many money making projects and serving several terms as president. When her last child left grade school she was awarded a lifetime membership to the National PTA. She worked outside the home in bakeries, grocery stores, and a hardware department at Pik Wik, until the store closed.

Bessie and Lyle were charter members of the Local Eagles and Eagles Auxiliary. They served many terms as president and many Sundays you could find Bessie making waffles for the weekly breakfast they held. She and Lyle then became members of another Eagles social group for retired members called React.

Down the road, both Bessie and Lyle assumed an active role in the Hospitality House; Bessie served many terms on the Board of Commissioners.

Bessie never turned anyone away that she could help.

From the one homeless man who came to our house asking for food in the early 50s, to the many other people she aided. An example of the love Bessie gave was the little girl from next door who toddled into our yard one day. The whole family fell in love with Diana and she became an unofficial member of our family. We love her to this day.

Bessie was always busy with something, from seeking the best cleaning products to Chi machines. She loved to play games with her grandkids, card games and went on many gambling trips. She also loved music and dancing.

The whole family would go to grange dances and dance until the band packed up. When we got home, Bessie, many times, would fix breakfast for everyone.

After the death of her husband, Bessie’s health and memory started to decline. This was very distressing for her. Bessie stopped watching her beloved Mariners baseball and Gonzaga basketball, which was very out of character.

Bessie was very resistant to moving into River Mountain Village, but finally accepted, and fit in quite well. It wasn’t until her health declined that she made the necessary move to Newport Long Term Care. During her stay there she was still trying to help the other residents.

Everyone will remember Bessie’s fierce kindness, humor, love of life, and the unconditional love she had for her family and those around her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, sisters Mary and Margery, brothers John, Clifford, Glen, and Alfred, her daughter Barbara, grandson Kenny, and her husband of 67 years, Lyle.

She is survived by sons Lonnie and Beverly of Oldtown and Brian of Oldtown, and daughters Sandra and Pat Wilhelm of Oldtown, Lylia and Randy Toner of Elk, Diana & Tom Painter of Kenai Alaska and 13 grandchildren, and 15 great grandchildren.

Graveside services for family at 10 a.m., at the Newport Cemetery. Memorial service will be held on Sept. 9 at 11 a.m. at the United Church of Christ.

Sherman-Campbell Funeral and Cremation Services in Newport is in charge of arrangements. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guest book at shermancampbell.com.
