County starts budget process $1 million over No road levy shift planned so far

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Pend Oreille County commissioners are beginning their budget process for the 2015 budget. County auditor Marianne Nichols and data processing coordinator Jill Shackled met with commissioners last week to start the process. Their very preliminary budget worksheet shows revenues

for 2015 of $8.6 million with expenses of $9.6 million. They are also planning on keeping a $1 million reserve. Shackled explained that department heads were mostly following the directions set by county commissioners – that increases in spending beyond negotiated pay increases be offset by new revenue. “If there is no offset, they were asked to provide a narrative to explain why the additional money is needed,” she said. The county projects a $1.1 million ending fund balance at the end of the year. That will be the starting point for this

year’s budget. In recent years the ending fund balance has been what is used to balance the budget. Shackled thinks that will be the same this year. For the first time in several years, the budget might not include a road levy shift. For each of the last few years, commissioners have shifted several hundred thousand dollars in taxing authority from the Road Fund to the general fund. In 2008, they shifted $500,000 in taxing authority, last year SEE BUDGET, 10A

Vendors now need licenses in Newport BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – The Newport City Council unanimously voted to require vendors within the city limits to have a vendor’s license at their regular meeting Tuesday, Sept. 2. The authority to require a vendor’s license was included in the development regulations update the council approved in February. “We were getting a number of complaints from the business community,” council member Ken Smith said about why the council adopted the vender license. People questioned whether the venders were collecting sales tax, among other things, he said. The measure was passed 4-0, with council member Mark Zorica not attending. The vendor’s license will cost $20 for a month and $40 for six months. Licenses longer than that will have to be renewed, Smith said.

Events with venders that are scheduled ahead of time and on the city’s calendar – such as the Lavender Festival – are exempt from the license requirement. Those events are regulated under the city’s special use permit. Garage sales, includ-

Flowering rush a problem on Pend Oreille Largest infestation in north county near Riverbend

NEWPORT – The Pend Oreille County weed board coordinated a survey of the Pend Oreille River for Flowering rush and three other invasive species infestations this month. It is continuing for another week. The Riverbend area in the north end of Pend Oreille County is showing the highest concentration of Flowering rush. The survey started in the northern part of the county, where the weed board anticipated less dense populations of the plant, however, they found infestations between SEE RUSH, 2A

B R I E F LY PUD staff recommends fiber increase to board NEWPORT – Pend Oreille Public Utility District staff recommended a $40 fiber rate, which is a $5 increase from the $35 introductory rate, to the Board of Commissioners, Tuesday, Sept. 2. The board will consider a resolution during the Tuesday, Sept. 16 board meeting. The rate increase would take effect Jan. 1, 2015, and would increase to $45 on Jan. 1, 2016. The PUD is the wholesale provider to three retail service providers, iFiber, POVN and Concept Cable, and charge them monthly for the fiber connections. Currently, the

CLASSIFIEDS

three providers pay the PUD $35 per customer for the use of the fiber system. They then charge their customers for fiber services. The three retail service providers all said they would adjust rates accordingly once the PUD increased the rate. The PUD Commissioners held a public hearing Aug. 19 to a packed house of area residents.

RUSH: First flowering rush was found in 2010 FROM PAGE 1

Albeni Dam and the state line. This work was done in cooperation with the Pend Oreille Public Utility District. They found four to six individual clones spread over a distance of 200 yards along the east shore of Kelly Island. This is in Idaho and the weed board would like the Department of Natural Resources permission to pull these plants. Weed Board Coordinator Sharon Sorby said she would seek other funding for the work. Sorby said the survey “gets interesting” near Riverbend, which had the largest and densest infestation to date. “It would have to have been in the area in excess of five years to reach that level of infestation,” Sorby said. “I have a suspicion that someone actually planted it along their frontage. Now that it has become a problem, they are desperately chopping up their beach and piling it in large piles at the water’s edge.” Sorby said letters were sent requesting that it be left alone for the contractors to remove and another requesting them to cease and desist. The survey work is currently about two miles south of Ione and Sorby said the infestations are “few and far between” in this area. “Most are lodged in fast current areas or between docks where boats most likely entangled their props

with reproductive material then it dropped when they reached home,” Sorby said. Because of the difference in the northern infestation, Sorby said she collected a specimen and leaf samples for DNA analysis from the Riverbend infestation. The Boundary Reservoir was surveyed and two small groups of clones were found that were dug out in the Metaline reach of the reservoir and one small clone was lodged along a rock wall. “The contractor will return to retrieve that clone as it will take his equipment to adequately remove it,” Sorby said. Divers started handpulling infestations Sept. 3 and are working their way toward Riverbend. Sorby said the work started slow but sped up as the sediment got softer along the way. The weed board was also looking for three other noxious weeds along the shoreline. No Bohemian knotweed was found except where they knew it would be found outside of Newport at a former treatment site. None was found at any other treatment sites. They found one purple loosestrife problem area at the Edgewater campground boat launch but no other plants were found. Yellow flag iris will reproduce by seed and a number of young plants were discovered. “It’s most significant form of spread is for large root

mats to break away, float off and lodge at a new site, putting down anchor roots and starting a new colony,” Sorby said. “This is most of what we found.” All the sites along the Boundary Reservoir were treated, Sorby said, except for a handful of plants that were submerged. She said on the Washington part of the river, the iris was treated at all but a handful of sites due to rain and two requests to not treat from the east shore down to the Tribal boundary and along the west shore to the Usk bridge. “At that time, we’d spent three weeks collecting data-points and treating iris and realized we would not be able to complete the flowering rush portion of the project if we didn’t concentrate on it, so we abandoned the iris treatments for now,” Sorby said. “If time, resources and weather allow, we may return to that portion of the project, but I believe we need to put as much money remaining in the grants into pulling the flowering rush.” Sorby said they also found a half a dozen clumps of iris along the Idaho shoreline and would request for Idaho to treat them. The first find of Flowering rush was in 2010, Sorby said, along the upriver side of the causeway connecting Everret Island to the mainland.

Emergency agencies test their readiness NEWPORT – A Full Scale Exercise, a test of Pend Oreille County’s comprehensive emergency management plan, is set for Saturday, Sept. 13, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Selkirk High School. The test is designed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to enhance the readiness level of the entities involved in assessment, response and containment in emergency situations. It will be an opportunity for local, state, and federal agency representatives to meet and interact. The format for the ESF Full Scale Exercise

will be a simulated role-play response to a threat covering a vulnerable area of Pend Oreille County that would involve a number of federal, state, local and foreign entities and the deployment of their assets following an analysis and investigation of the threat. It will be an enactment of safety programs, the notification process, agency emergency operations, and specific actions taken in the areas of public information, warning, evacuation, and subsequent specific response steps to contain and manage the incident.

9/11 tribute set for Sandpoint SANDPOINT – A memorial for victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks is planned for Sandpoint Thursday, Sept. 11, from noon to 1 p.m. at Memorial Field. The ceremony will pay tribute to the more than 3,000 people killed that day, and will include a color guard courtesy of the U.S. Marine Corps League, the Sandpoint Police Department, Boy Scouts of America Troop 307 of Clark Fork and the Knights of Columbus. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary will also provide support of the even and the Albeni Falls Pipes and Drums will play.

COUNCIL: Application on City Website FROM PAGE 1

said. The meeting Sept. 2 was one of the longer meetings, Smith said. He said council members discussed the issue at length. Schutte said there are several reasons in addition to sales tax as to why the city wanted to require the vendor’s license. “We wanted to make sure they were legitimate businesses,” she said. A Washington state Universal Business Identifier number is required. The vendor needs

to have authorization from the property owner to be where they are, she said. If food is involved, a Northeast Tri-County Health Food Service Permit is required. The application is a one page document found on the city’s website. “We wanted the simplest one we could use,” Smith said. The application asks for contact information, hours and dates of operation, what will be offered for sale and a description of the structure and size of the space in which the business will

operate. Both the property owner and the applicant will need to sign the Temporary Business Use Permit application, which can be found online at www. newport-wa.org/departments/building-zoning. The city does not require other businesses to have a city business license although it has been discussed by city officials in the past. The city’s code enforcement officer will be responsible for enforcing the permit requirement, City Administrator Ray King said.

It has a small cluster to the east and a large cluster in the westernmost culvert that were treated with herbicide. For 2011, only the smaller areas were pulled and there was no real change in population, Sorby said. In 2012, several infestations were pulled along the barrier and downriver side of the causeway. In 2013, no plants were found downstream of the causeway and only one plant was pulled. “This year, only one plant was found downstream of the causeway and it was pulled,” Sorby said. In 2011 and 2012, the frontage of Bear Paw Camp was treated and reachable plants were pulled. No treatment occurred in 2013.

“This year we found three clones,” Sorby said. The third treatment area was the frontage at the Usk boat launch and Sorby said the infestation there, found in 2011, was extensive. “We collected 15 contractor trash bags of plant material in 2011, four in 2012 and one in 2013,” Sorby said. “This year we found nine clones.” Sorby said that following through over the next five years and consistently removing the plants would help eradicate the problem. “Over that timeframe, the scope and expense of the project should decline to a programmatic level, dealing with re-infestation from upriver,” Sorby said. “I believe our experience tells us that persistence will deliver us success.”

SUPER: Leaving the classroom was tough FROM PAGE 1

“I’m glad the board allowed me to keep it,” he said. It gives him regular contact with students, something he said he needs. One of the hardest things about accepting the superintendent job was leaving the classroom, he said. Anselmo, 41, is a Priest River native, a 1991 graduate of Priest River Lamanna High School. He and his wife, Julie, have two sons, Tommy, 15, and Robbie, 13. Anselmo is the son of long time Newport teacher Tom Anselmo, who taught history at Newport for decades. “Dad was a teacher 30 years,“ he says. “I still have people stop me and ask if I am related to him. He was a lot of people’s favorite teacher.” Anselmo graduated from the University of Idaho in 1996 with an undergraduate degree in education. He did his student teaching at Sandpoint. He was hired in Priest River for the 1999-2000 school year, teaching science and physical education at the junior high. Anselmo has an interim job with the district, at an annual salary of $75,835. He was hired after Ellen Perconti quit in June to take a job in Washington state. He was one of two final applicants for the job. While Anselmo was initially hired as an interim superintendent, that may change, board vice chairman Eric Eldenburg said. “Our intention when we hired him was to look for improved interaction with the public and employees,” Eldenburg said. “We’ll see how it goes through the first of the year. We’re not actively looking for a superintendent right now.” Eldenburg said he has confidence in Anselmo. “He’s a local boy who grew up here,” Eldenburg said. “He seems dedicated and confident.” Anselmo wants a permanent superintendent job here. He has his administrator’s credentials and plans to get his superintendent credential, he said. He

has three years to complete the process, he says. He takes over the district after a $3.5 million maintenance and operations levy was defeated by voters. The district trimmed the levy to $3 million and put it back to the voters, who narrowly approved it by 11 votes. Anselmo acknowledges the district has some fence mending to do with the people who opposed the levy. He said he has paid a visit to Shari Dovale, one of the levy critics. “I want to keep open lines of communication,” Anselmo said. “I’m certainly in favor of open communication,” Dovale said. She said Anselmo is new in the position and still is learning the job. “There’s a lot to take in,” she said. She says she is optimistic about the district’s future, though. Staff morale suffered during and after the levy campaigns. “We had a large turnover last year,” Anselmo said. “It scared a lot of people.” The district has 19 new teachers this year. Anselmo said it was a combination of changes to state education funding rules and a bad economy that made the M&O levy so big and paying it so unpalatable to voters. One of the items the school board cut from the levy was $100,000 to fix the football stadium. Dona Storro organized a group of volunteers to replace the front retaining wall, a start at the repairs that are needed. “It’s definitely functional,” Anselmo says. Volunteers from every high school sport contributed to the effort, he said. The district started the school year with a new six period schedule at the high school. Anselmo says that he thinks it is a good thing, as it gives teachers and students daily contact. “I look for it to be positive,” he said. That might sum up his expectations for the district as well.

B R I E F LY Boundary adjustment sought for Diamond Lake property DIAMOND LAKE – Public comments are being sought on a boundary line adjustment proposed by Diamond Lake Properties for two contiguous properties on Southshore Diamond Lake Road, across the street from the Old Diamond Lake Resort location. People have until Thursday, Sept. 25 to submit written comments. People can inspect the file during working hours at the community development department at the county courthouse, 625 W. Fourth Ave. in Newport. Anyone wishing to comment or be notified of actions taken on this proposal should contact community development director Mike Lithgow.

Idaho State Police warn of phone scam MERIDIAN – The Idaho State Police has taken several reports from throughout Idaho of citizens receiving telephone calls from people claiming to be from the ISP. The caller is telling people that they have an arrest warrant and that the person needs to pay money to clear the warrant or face arrest. The Idaho State Police does not call people on the telephone to inform them that a warrant has been issued for them. Additionally, ISP does not call citizens and tell them they need to pay money or provide any financial information for any reason. Anyone who has recently received one of these scam telephone calls or has become a victim of this scam is encouraged to call their local county or city law enforcement agency.

County agrees to changes in open space tax change NEWPORT – Pend Oreille County Commissioners passed an ordinance Sept. 2 eliminating the Open Space Timber property tax classification and consolidating the Timber Land classification with the Designated Forest Land program. The measure was largely for ease of administration, county Assessor Jim McCroskey said. He says the county will collect the same amount in property taxes after the merger and will save money on advertising and staff time. The categories got a substantial break on property taxes and that will continue. There is only one property classified as Open Space Timber, while there are numerous properties in the Designated Forest Land category. The Open Space Timber classification came with a $1,250 application fee. The fee and the designation were eliminated. Properties five acres and larger will qualify for the tax break in the new program. Copper • Brass • Aluminum Stainless • Aluminum Cans Batteries • Radiators

NEWPORT – Smoke may be seen by many area residents as Colville National Forest crews begin the fall prescribed burning season immediately and will continue operations into early winter. Residents and visitors in Pend Oreille County and those traveling up Highway 20 can expect to see smoke on both sides of the valley from Furport north to Ione. Crews will be treating, weather permitting, 265 acres with helicopter and/ or hand based ignition in the Lost Ridge area, 200 acres in the Cottonwood Divide area near the Middle Fork Calispell Drainage and 217 acres between Fourth of July Creek and Middle Creek, 13 miles southeast of Ione. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation supports these prescribed fire objectives and provides grant funding to the Forest Service to help fund these efforts. An additional 200 acres will be treated 2.5 miles northeast of Furport and crews will also be conducting prescribed burning in the Winchester Peak, Misery Lake, Browns Lake, Scotchman Lake, Ruby Creek, Bartlett Creek and LeClerc Creek areas.

Tourists, cyclists visit Selkirk Loop BONNERS FERRY – The International Selkirk Loop, a travel route that businesses along it promote to tourists, will have several groups traveling it during the fall. It runs through west Bonner County and Pend Oreille County. Sports and Leisure Travel, out of Sacramento, Calif., is returning for their third tour of the loop. The group landed in Spokane Monday, Sept. 8. They will spend six nights along the loop and take several side trips to museums, historical sites, artisans and wildlife management areas. The group will be in Pend Oreille County Saturday, Sept. 13. They plan to visit the Tiger Historical Center and Museum in the northern county, and will stop by the Pend Oreille County Museum and Owen’s Grocery and Deli in Newport. Also this month is the WaCanId cycling tour along the loop. The six-day, 350-mile route travels through Washington, Canada and Idaho, Sept. 15-20. The ride starts in Sandpoint with the

group traveling in a clockwise direction where they will be averaging 70 miles per day with a layover day in Nelson, BC. The finish is in Sandpoint Sept. 20. Their schedule is as follows: They will travel from Sandpoint to Ione Sept. 16, and from Ione to Trail, BC Sept. 16. The ride is put on by six different Rotary Clubs from communities of the Selkirk Loop. These clubs provide support for the riders, hauling their luggage with pickup and delivery to their lodging of choice, border crossing assistance, providing water and snacks, repairing flat tires and will even pick up a rider when they need a lift. Administrative support is provided by the International Selkirk Loop. The ISL is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing international recognition to the area to enhance the economies of the communities along this route.

Water residents get survey, phone call in north county METALINE FALLS – The Pend Oreille Public Utility District will reach out to residents on the Metaline Falls water system twice through their phone system. A One Call Customer Notification phone call was made to north county residents Sept. 3 and another one will be made Friday, Sept. 12, regarding the receipt and return of the Metaline Falls water system acquisition survey. “It is an easy method to get information out to a vast majority of customers in a short period of time,” said Mark Cauchy, PUD director of regulatory and environmental affairs. The PUD and the town of Metaline Falls sent out a survey the last week of August. The survey asked one question: Should the town take over the water system from the PUD? “It’s basically a ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ about the city taking over the system,” Cauchy said. He said there is no deadline for the surveys to be returned, however, they asked that they be returned by Friday, Sept. 19. Surveys should be sent to or dropped off at the Town of Metaline Falls, P.O. Box 277, Metaline Falls WA

ratepayers are more than $200,000 in debt to the PUD, which owns and operates the system now. The PUD’s recent water rate increase designed to balance the budget started the town leaders’ discussion of a possible acquisition.

Aladdin Mountain and Ione Hill area northeast of Colville. Motorists on Highway 395 and residents of Chewelah can expect to see smoke in the Cottonwood Creek drainage and Eagle Mountain. For more information on these specific prescribed fires, call the Three Rivers Ranger District at 509-738-7700. Since air quality is a major consideration during prescribed fire operations, crews may suspend burning operations if conditions warrant or if smoke begins to impact local communities. In order to stay current with the latest information on prescribed fires on the Colville National Forest, visit www.inciweb.org or contact the local Ranger District. The objective of these prescribed fires is to reduce the accumulation of dense undergrowth to reduce fire danger and to improve wildlife and big game wildlife habitat. This project is part of the larger Paradise Peak Big Game Improvement Project, which also includes other large prescribed fire units and thinning units. The size of the entire project is roughly 5,500 acres, specifically addressed and designed to improve big game habitat and forage. Colville National Forest Fire Managers are keeping a close eye on the weather and moisture conditions. They said the moisture levels and expected smoke dispersion patterns are within the Washington state smoke management standards so prescribed burning can start.

all is in the air and with it comes some of the best entertainment close to home: high school sports competition. What you get is the rush from the roar of the crowd, popcorn, hot chocolate, a chance to relive personal glory days and the thrill of watching some incredible young athletes do their best on their home stage. That would be enough reason to come to a game this fall but there are some other good reasons. High school sports programs in all our districts are extremely important to the education process and at the same time extremely expensive. Community members should attend a game to see how their school district is handling their sports program and their tax dollars. In Washington and Idaho, there is a firestorm of discussion about how to improve the academic portion of the school but never a word about the athletic portion of the education system. This apparently is being left up to the local taxpayer and parent so we believe they should get to a game and see how it’s going. They aren’t looking for wins necessarily but how well the program is run. How organized and entertaining are the games. Observe how disciplined and courteous the players are and how the coaches handle themselves during the heat of competition. And study how competitive the young athletes and teams are. Much can be told about the school system from these observations. Sports programs have saved many a student; they do better academically because they want to play. And those that already do well academically, do even better in life because of their participation in sports. The life skills of discipline, sacrifice and working as part of team is not taught this well any place else. And in a small school district, there is a sport or spot for almost any student. After all is said and done, the most important reason to attend a high school sports event is to enjoy it. See you there. --FJW

Green markets BY JOHN STOSSEL FOX NEWS

Last week I said the Environmental Protection Agency has become a monster that does more harm than good. But logical people say, “What else we got?” It’s natural to assume greedy capitalists will run amok and destroy the Earth unless stopped by regulation. These critics don’t understand the real power of private ownership, says Terry Anderson of the Property and Environment Research Center. “Long before the EPA was a glint in anyone’s eye,” said Anderson on my TV show, “property rights were dealing with pollution issues.” The worst pollution often happens on land owned by “the people” – by government. Since no one person derives direct benefit from this property, it’s often treated carelessly. Some of the worst environmental damage happens on military bases and government research facilities, such as the nuclear research site in Hanford, Wash. Worse things may happen when government indifference (SET ITAL) combines (END ITAL) with the greed of unrestrained businesspeople, like when the U.S. Forest Service lets logging companies cut trees on public land. Private forest owners are careful to replant and take steps to prevent forest fires. Government-owned forests are not as well managed. They are much more likely to burn. When it’s government land – or any commonly held resource – the incentive is to get in and take what you can, while you can. It’s called the “tragedy of the commons.” “No one washes a rental car,” says Anderson, but “when people own things, they take care of them. And when they have private property rights that they can enforce, other people can’t dump gunk onto the property.” That’s why, contrary to what environmentalists often assume, it’s really property rights that encourage good stewardship. If you pollute, it’s your neighbors who are most likely to complain, not lazy bureaucrats at the EPA. “Here in Montana, for example, the Anaconda Mining Company, a copper and mining company, ruled the state,” says Anderson. “And yet when it was discovered that their tailings piles (the heaps left over after removing the valuable material by mining) had caused pollution on ranches that neighbored them, local property owners took them to court. (Anaconda Mining) had to cease and desist and pay for damages. ... They quickly took care of that problem.” They also restored some of the land they had mined. Property rights and a simple, honest court system – institutions that can exist without big government – solve problems that would be fought about for years by politicians, environmental bureaucrats and the corporations who lobby them. In fact, it’s harder to assess the benefits and damages in environmental disputes when these decisions are taken out of the marketplace and made by bureaucracies that have few objective ways to measure costs. Markets even solve environmental problems in places where environmentalists assume they cannot, such as oceans and other property that can’t be carved up into private parcels.

YO U R O P I N I O N Flowers are beautiful in Newport To the editor: The flowers at the Pend Oreille PUD building are beautiful and a very special treat to all of us who drive by. A special thanks to who is responsible for their care. Also, the blooms at the Newport Museum are spectacular again – thanks also to those who plant and care for them. They are a great asset to Newport. -Jean Kress Newport

Thanks for supporting youth To the editor: I want to thank our wonderful community for coming through for Youth Emergency Services (YES) in our efforts to provide school supplies for our youth. We have more than 140 youth in the program and because of all the donations and fundraising by the community we have been able to supply the youth with the school supplies they need for the beginning of the school year. Please remember they need supplies throughout the year, so if you see a good sale or want to pick up some extras, please drop them by the office at 316 Second St., Newport. Also, thank you to all the volunteers who make it possible to meet all the needs of our youth. We are always looking for more volunteers as the needs and numbers of youth in our program grow. There are endless possibilities for someone to use his or her talents helping the youth of Pend

Oreille County. If anyone is interested in volunteering with YES, please call our office at 509-447-1125. -Tammy Allison Newport

Elections have consequences, as in the Middle East To the editor: The Arab/Israeli conflict has been around for at least 2,400 years, as we see Geshem, the Arab’s opposition to the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem in the book of Nehemiah (Ne 2:19, etc.). But over the last half century it has morphed into a fanatical obsession for a significant sector of the Arab community. A number of years ago the Israelis relinquished control of Gaza, allowing for Arab self-government. But when elections were held, the population voted in the terrorist group Hamas, whose very own constitution states that their sworn goal is the extinction of the state of Israel. Since then Hamas has fired thousands of rockets at Israel. How many rockets could Sandpoint fire at Spokane before Spokanites would retaliate? Hamas deliberately puts children in harm’s way by launching rockets from homes and schools. In their twisted set of priorities their hatred for Israel trumps the safety of even their very own children. Most Americans understand this, knowing it takes the mindset of a dedicated fanatic to argue a case for moral equivalency here. Just imagine for a second that Hamas was fueled by God’s love instead of antiSemitism. Can you visualize pros-

Two North Carolina half brothers were released from prison following DNA evidence that showed they did not commit the rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl they were convicted of more than 30 years ago. Both had been sentenced to death but one brother received a new trial and was convicted again and sentenced to life in prison. Both men were intellectually challenged, with IQs between 60-70. In light of the increasing number of prisoners freed from death row after wrongful convictions, should the United States continue the death penalty? Yes, most people convicted and sentenced to death deserve it. No, it’s too arbitrary. The most prolific serial killer in U.S. history, Gary Ridegway, the so called Green River killer, won’t be executed because he made a deal to tell where bodies were located. Yes, it serves as deterrent to others. No, it’s barbaric and there is too great a chance an innocent person will be executed.

perous and happy Palestinians with new schools, hospitals and all the other benefits of wise leadership? But instead you see fanatics spending every dime on rockets and elaborate tunnels under Israel, constantly gnashing their teeth and spewing venomous hatred. These are the same folks who danced in the street when the twin towers went down … and again when Obama was elected. Elections have consequences. We must elect leaders who clearly understand the difference between good and evil or we will find ourselves in a mess similar to the madness known as Gaza. -Tom Frisque Usk

Rich still richer To the editor: Financial class warfare from 2010 through 2013 is alive and well. Latest labor and income statistics for this period are in. Incomes for the top 10 percent richest Americans (even with tax shelters and subsidies) averaged an increase of 2 percent. Compared to decreases: for the middle class at 6 percent, and for the lower class at 4 percent. Education’s inflationary cost-to-debt ratio offers little help to would be class jumpers. High tech dependant, enterprise networking offers even less proprietary incentives. Plus, those who gained, or hope to gain, secure incomes through who you know, rather than what you know, appear compassionless to the non-con-

nected, less fortunate. Just wait until those boats capsize. Well, there is always the old standby welfare systemmilitary service. Wouldn’t it be more prudent to just reform the tax code and bring money and jobs back to America’s lower 90 percent? Oh, that’s right, the 10 percent, rich control all of the tax reformers. -Duane Schofield Cusick

Mixed feelings on armed officer To the editor: I have mixed feelings about Newport schools having an armed deputy, or in politically correct language a “School Resource Officer.” So if a troubled kid shows up at school with a gun or knife, the deputy is supposed to confront the student and if the student fails to comply with the deputy’s instructions to disarm, he can shoot the kid dead. Then we can have special counseling for the students who witness the shooting. Now people are going to say what a great society we have where in a rural school we need an armed policeman at school to confront and possibly shoot and kill our problem kids. Then there is the notion that if an adult shows up at the schools with a gun, the deputy will be right there to shoot him before he has a chance to shoot a bunch of students and teachers. The odds of everything happening in the right order are small, so why spend $100,000/year for the SEE LETTERS, 5A

Colville meeting on hunting seasons Sept. 10 SPOKANE – The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is holding an additional public meeting in Colville to discuss the 2015-17 hunting seasons. The meeting is Wednesday, Sept. 10, from 7-9 p.m. at the Colville Ag Trade Center, at the Northeast Washington Fairgrounds, 317 West Astor Ave., Colville. WDFW conducted a series of meetings on the hunting proposals last week in Spokane, Moses Lake and Ellensburg; western Washington meetings are underway this week. WDFW Eastern Region Wildlife Program Manager Kevin Robinette said the Colville meeting will be conducted by regional staff only, with emphasis on northeast Washington hunting issues. The proposals are available at http://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/regulations/seasonsetting/, where comments can also be provided through Sept. 22. The Game Management Plan and scoping criteria for the 2015-17 season-setting process are also available on the website. Hunting issues currently being discussed include: · Antler point restrictions on white-tailed deer; · Antlerless deer opportunity for youth, senior, and disabled hunters; · Spring and fall black bear seasons; · Special permit drawings; · Baiting of big game; and · Hunting equipment, including non-toxic ammunition, expandable broadheads and crossbows. Comments received will be used to develop specific recommendations for 2015-17 hunting seasons, which will be available for further review in January. Final recommendations will be presented to the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission for adoption next spring.

SRO? You might want to ask why banks no longer have an armed guard and then apply the same question to armed SROs. Hopefully, a troubled kid wouldn’t just shoot the deputy in the back to start the incident. I am relieved that I don’t have to send a kid or grandkid to the Newport schools to face an armed deputy trained to use lethal force. What could the schools do with $100,000 for educa-

tion? I guess a couple of reading and math tutors would be called a liberal waste of school funds. So if you have troubled teens that are suicidal, they can go to school with a weapon and commit suicide by having the SRO kill them. I would rather see the money spent on actually educating the kids. -Pete Scobby Newport EDITOR’S NOTE: The Newport School District is spending $50,000 on the SRO. The Pend Oreille County Sheriff’s Office pays for the remaining $50,000.

Sexually motivated assault gets man 12-month sentence BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – An 18-year old woman told Pend Oreille County Superior Court Judge Allen Nielson that her assault at the hands of Michael Givens has left her with anxiety attacks and difficulty trusting people. Her grades plunged and she struggled with addiction, she said. “To have to keep this on my chest for over a year has been overwhelming,” said the woman, who was 17 at the time of the attack. Because of her age, she was not identified in court when she spoke at Givens’ sentencing Thursday, Sept. 4. Earlier Givens, 22, had pleaded guilty to fourth degree assault with sexual motivation and second degree assault. According to court papers, he got the girl to give him a ride to No Name Lake in July 2013. He then choked her until she had sex with him. He left marks on her neck, according to the statement of probable cause.

Deputy prosecutor Jeremy Schmidt asked for a suspended 364-day sentence on the fourth degree assault with sexual motivation charge and a year on second degree assault charge. Defense attorney Robin

‘When I first read it, I was unnerved. I was scared for her welfare.’ Judge Allen Nielsen Pend Oreille County Superior Court

McCroskey argued that six months was more appropriate. Givens and the teen had sex before the time at No Name Lake, she said, something the girl didn’t immediately disclose. “That’s partially why the charges were reduced,” she said. McCroskey said Givens felt the sex was consensual. Givens was originally charged with second degree

New evening ladies’ Bible study begins OLDTOWN – A new Bible study is aimed at working women in the community. House of the Lord in Oldtown is offering an in depth study from Beth Moore, titled “Children of the Day,” a study on I & II Thessalonians, which includes a small group discussion and

rape with forcible compulsion and second degree assault and released on $50,000 bond. Givens needed counseling, she said, both mental health treatment and chemical dependency treatment, something McCroskey wanted to see made part of the sentence. Givens said he needed to start thinking for the longer term. He wanted to make his sobriety permanent. “I could use some help,” he said. Nielson said what he read in the court files, including a sealed psychological evaluation, showed Givens has had a difficult past. “There are a number of things that happened in your life that would be difficult to overcome,” Neilson said. He noted Givens had served six months on a Western Samoan work camp for marijuana possession. Nielson said the description of the crime made him

concerned for the victim’s safety. “When I first read it, I was unnerved,” he said. “I was scared for her welfare.” Apparently there was choking involved in the first sex act, too, Neilson said. The psychologist who did the assessment said Givens was opportunistic, impulsive and needs counseling, Neilson said. The psychologist found that the prognosis for Givens to stay out of trouble was not good, Nielson said. Nielson said he accepted wholly that the crimes occurred as the victim said. He sentenced Givens to 364 days in jail for fourth degree assault with sexual motivation, which he suspended, and 12 months for second degree assault. He ordered Givens serve 24 months community custody and comply with any treatment ordered. He also ordered he pay $1,600 in fees. There will be a restitution hearing later.

E-Cigs and pipes available in Newport NEWPORT – Joe Sanchez, owner of Vape King/Pipe King, used to make the trip to Spokane to buy his needed “necessities,” but over the past several months he has collected items to open his own business. They sell E-cigarettes, pipes and other paraphernalia. Sanchez said he is still new in business and will make lists of the items that people come request that he doesn’t have onhand. Sanchez, 52, said he opened the business in early August to add an

Sheep moved from scene of wolf attacks OLYMPIA – A Stevens County rancher has moved his sheep away from the site where wolves killed at least two-dozen of the animals in recent weeks. Working through Labor Day weekend, rancher Dave Dashiell rounded up his flock of 1,800 sheep and herded them to temporary holding pens five miles away, and has begun trucking them to their winter pasture in the Columbia Basin. Field staff from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and 14 volunteers helped to round up the sheep and move them off the grazing land he leases from a private company about 50 miles northwest of Spokane. Nate Pamplin, director of WDFW’s wildlife program, said the rancher’s decision to move his sheep earlier than usual will prevent further losses to his flock, but the department is cautioning other ranchers in the area to be vigilant as members of the Huckleberry pack move about their range. “The threat to one rancher’s flock has passed, but there are other ranchers and other livestock in that area,” Pamplin said. “We need to make sure that the owners of those livestock operations – large and small – are aware of the pack’s presence and are taking necessary precautions.” Pamplin said WDFW field staff will continue to monitor the movement of the Huckleberry pack and will contact other ranchers in the area to discuss appropriate protective measures, such as maintaining a human presence around their stock, using guard dogs, and removing animal carcasses whenever feasible. On Aug. 22, at the height of the attacks on Dashiell’s sheep, WDFW authorized the removal of up to four members of the Huckleberry wolf pack, one of 13 documented packs in the state. One female wolf was killed the next day by an aerial marksman contracted by the department. The department’s wildlife veterinarian

conducted a necropsy this week indicating the wolf was the pack’s breeding female. While other lethal mea-

He said WDFW has been contacted by many citizens, both opposing and supporting the department’s use of lethal measures to protect the rancher’s sheep. “Wolf management generates strong feelings on all sides,” Pamplin said. “We respect those feelings and will continue to do our utmost to ensure the recovery of wolves in Washington while working with ranchers to avoid and minimize conflicts with these animals.”

Report wolf, grizzly sightings to IDFG BOISE – Each year tens of thousands of hunters scour the woods of Idaho in search of game, and the Idaho Department of Fish & Game is seeking their help. IDFG is asking sportsmen and others who may be in the field and observe wolves and grizzly bears to report the sighting. According to Regional Wildlife Manager Daryl Meints, “We know we’ve got plenty of wolves in the state, but as a condition of the wolf delisting we must be able to document 15 breeding pairs with pups each year in the state until 2016. We are asking that anyone who has specific information about wolf sightings to contact us.”

Obtaining detailed information about the specific whereabouts of wolves is critical because if 15 breeding pairs with pups must be documented by Dec. 31 each year. IDFG is especially eager to hear from hunters who, as part of preparation for this fall’s hunts, might have recorded wolves on their trail cams. IDFG Biologists and Conservation Officers are making a push to radio collar as many breeding pairs as possible before the end of September, after which it becomes more difficult to differentiate adults from pups. As part of ongoing recovery and management of grizzly bears the department would also like to encour-

age reporting of any grizzly sightings. While observations can be made directly to the Upper Snake Regional Office at 208-525-7290, reports about wolf or grizzly sightings can be made using the online reporting form on the Fish and Game website. The userfriendly, step-by-step form takes only a few minutes to complete and can be accessed at the following websites: WOLVES: https://fishandgame. idaho.gov/species/observations/ add?#speciesid=19117.

needs to reestablish itself into something different, something that can again offer family-wage jobs so those who grow up here don’t have to move away to make a living. “That water in that river was the commerce,” Martin says in the film. He mentions the closure of the JD Lumber mill a few years ago and how that took away more than 200 jobs. “I just don’t know what’s going to happen here,” Kokanos says. The movie premier was held in conjunction with the unveiling of the city’s new website, or “digital destination,” as it was called by Martin during the introduction. The website is expected to help market the area to potential industry and improve communication between the local govern-

PRIEST RIVER – A year in the making, “The River” premiered in Priest River June 30, a production by Scott Gardenhour, Hollywood producer and Priest River resident. “The River” is a short film that explores where the city came from and where it’s going. The 10-minute film features local well-knowns such as mayor Jim Martin, fire chief Les Kokanos, Robert Naccarato, Wally Mitchell and Diane Mercer. The focus is the economy, how Priest River was built out of the timber industry but

ment and residents. It should also feature “The River.” CivicPlus, a company out of Manhattan, Kans., created the website based on a series of focus groups they held in Priest River over the past year. The movie and the website didn’t cost the town anything monetarily, and were the brainchild of Gardenhour. He explained Monday that small town America is dear to him, having been raised in Smithsburg, Md., where the Gardenhour Orchards still operate. Priest River is becoming dear to his children too. “Our kids have really grown to love what Priest River is to them,” he told the packed room in the Beardmore Building. He explained the “freedom of space” they have here, something they don’t have in Los Angeles where they live most of the time. “I also believe small towns have some rethinking to do,” he said, specifically about the economy and how to provide jobs without losing

what makes those small communities what they are. “You can’t take away (the) culture of small towns,” he said. Gardenhour is a movie producer in Hollywood, having worked on blockbusters such as “Pearl Harbor,” “Armageddon,”

“Coyote Ugly,” and “Pain and Gain.” He bought property in Priest River in the 1980s, and it’s been a part of his family since. His company The Institute worked with CivicPlus to create the movie and the website, which should go live in a week or two. Dan Schultz of CivicPlus spoke to the crowd gathered Monday about the website his company developed for Priest River, also at no cost to the city.

The platform has been created but the content needs to be filled in with input from the community. That will happen this week. Brad Johnson, also of CivicPlus, is staying here for the week to tweak the site before it goes live. He explained the features, including a strong search capability, bill pay options, news links and conversing with city staff. Mayor Jim Martin said that, for example, if someone sees a pothole that needs to be fixed, they can take a picture with their phone, send it to the city with the location, and the problem will be directed to the appropriate department. “It far exceeded our expectations,” Martin said.

BUDGET: Money needed for county roads

Public Works Director Sam Castro met with commissioners Monday, Sept. 8 to give his weekly update on public works projects. Castro is relieved no road levy shift is planned. FROM PAGE 1

they shifted $300,000 and repaid $100,000. Public Works Director Sam Castro, who oversees the Road Department, said the money is needed for the county’s roads. He says he uses money for matching funds for grants. Castro has said in the past without the full road levy the county will not be able to maintain the road system. “That’s the difference between us being able to get money to finish projects or not,” he said. Castro says every $100,000 he loses costs the county about $1 million in grant funding. County commissioners did build $850,000 in anticipated Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILT) payments from the federal government into the budget, although the PILT funding hasn’t arrived yet. County Commission Chairwoman Karen Skoog acknowledges that it may be risky to budget the money before it is committed. “We’re starting to talk about our contingency plan

if it doesn’t come in,” she said. Still, she thinks the federal government will have to pay, as there are 484,661 acres of federal lands in the county on which property taxes are not paid. Skoog emphasized that the preliminary budget was just that – preliminary. The preliminary gen-

eral fund budget shows $8,673,821 in revenue and $9,360,833, leaving a $957,000 deficit. Like last year, commissioners will have department heads come in for scheduled meetings. The meetings will be listed on the county’s agenda. The public is welcome to attend, she said.

Spartan volleyball tested by bigger schools

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

PRIEST RIVER – The Priest River Spartans volleyball team played four times last week, including a tri match with Post Falls and Lakeland, two larger schools. Priest River did pretty well, taking Lakeland to five sets in an exciting game Wednesday, Sept. 10. “It was an awesome match,” Spartan coach Angie Goins said. “It went back and forth the whole way.” Priest River won the first set 26-24, lost the second and third sets 25-17, 25-22 and won the third set 25-21, before losing the final set 15-12. Katlyn Summer had 15 kills in the match and Molly French had 16 digs. Earlier in the day the Spartans lost to Post Falls in three, 25-19, 25-19, 25-22. “Post Falls did a good job of blocking our hitting,” Goins said. “Our hitters only got four kills.” Missed serves also hurt the Spartans, Goins said. Priest River traveled to Kootenai for a match Tuesday, Sept. 2, winning in four sets. The Spartans started slow, losing the first set 25-23, but coming back strong to win the next three sets 25-15, 25-8, 25-20.

Megan Whitman had a team-high five aces in the match and French had 10 digs. Saturday, Sept. 6, the Spartans went to Reardan for a match. The Spartans started slow and lost the first set 25-22. They came back to win the next two 25-21, 25-23, lost the fourth set 25-17 and won the fifth set 25-13. ON DECK: “Makia BrenAT LAKELAND: nan served an Saturday, Sept. 13, TBA ace for game and AT BONNERS FERRY: match point,” Tuesday, Sept. 17, 4:30 p.m. Goins said. “It was a nice way to end the match.” Summer had 14 kills and Lily Luckey had a dozen assists. The Spartans hosted Kootenai Monday, Sept. 8. They won in three sets 25-24, 2626, 25-26. Summers had 10 kills and seven blocks for the Spartans.

Rough Stock Open set for Saturday BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Riding event contestants from throughout the Northwest will descend on Newport Saturday, Sept. 13 for the second annual Newport Rough Stock Open. The competition will officially get underway at 7 p.m. but people have a reason to come a little earlier. At 6:30 p.m. the Rolling Thunder drill team from Coeur d’Alene will perform. The new Newport Rodeo Queen will be announced at about 6:45 p.m., with the grand entry slated for 7 p.m. Advance tickets cost $10 for

adults and $5 for kids 5-11 years old. Children under four are admitted for free. The rough stock events are the three rodeo riding events – bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding – along with ranch bronc riding. Ranch bronc riding differs from rodeo bronc riding in that riders can use two hands in ranch bronc riding and do not have to mark the horse out of the chute. The difference is because ranch bronc riders are more ranch hands than rodeo cowboys, with many employed as working cowhands. They ride a regular stock saddle instead of an

association bronc saddle, with its high swells and free swinging stirrups. A ranch saddle is far harder to ride than an association saddle. This year’s event will also have a not-so-rough stock event, the mutton busting, a popular event that was debuted at the Bull-A-Rama in July. In mutton busting, children attempt to ride a sheep. The event has all the participants it needs already. Each participant will get a silver dollar and a participation plaque. The riding event competitors will be riding for $1,000 added money in each event, a buckle and a coat.

Newport triumphs over Bonners BY DESIREÉ HOOD OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – The Newport Grizzlies battled the Bonners Ferry Badgers, Friday, Sept. 12, coming home with a 37-18 season opening win. This was a nonleague game. “The kids played hard and competed every play,” head coach Zac Farnam said.

Border rivals meet Friday NEWPORT – The Newport Grizzlies host the Priest River, Friday, Sept. 12, kicking off the annual border rival game at 7 p.m. Newport head coach Zac Farnam said while the nonleague game can’t help his team achieve their goal of making the playoffs, it does help with playing time and getting ready to compete against league schools. For that, he said, the game is important. “Beating Priest River has nothing to do with our goals,” Farnam said. “The kids think it’s another nonleague team.” The Grizzlies are 1-0 on the season, coming off a nonleague win against Bonners Ferry last Friday. Farnam, 30, played four years of football at Whitworth University and has been coaching for nine years, three at Newport. Priest River head coach Shane Douglas said the Spar-

tans are improving weekly. He said the non-league game means working on discipline in their assignments. “Football is the ultimate team sport of 11 athletes vs. 11 athletes, but it all comes down to each individual winning their match-up in the game,” Douglas said. Douglas said he encourages the team to treat it like any other game. “Obviously this is a major rivalry but we can’t get caught up in treating this game any different than any other,” Douglas said. “Both teams use this game as a way to prepare for our league games which in the end gives you the opportunity to earn a trip to state.” The Spartans are 1-1 after they lost the season opening non-league game to Nampa Christian, Friday, Aug. 29. They beat Chewelah last Friday. Douglas, 46, is on his third year as head football coach at Priest River.

Spartans lose to St. Maries 5-0 PRIEST RIVER – The Priest River boys soccer team lost to St. Maries 5-0 Tuesday, Sept. 2, at home. The Spartans are now 3-1 for the season. In their first Intermountain League game of the season, St Maries’s Jean-Pierre Arras scored a hatrick in the first half to lead the team to a 3-0 lead, with goals at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 34 minutes. “After moving a few players around in the second half, Priest River held off the attack until St. Maries’ Stephen Davenport scored on a deflected ball that was loose in front of the goal,” head coach Rob Lawler said. Arras finished the night with a fourth goal in 72 minutes. “Arras is a highly skilled player who pushed the Priest River team to a new level of play,” Lawler said. Spartan Tyler Jones provided a tremendous defensive effort, according to his coach. Offensively, the Spartans had several opportunities getting

off 11 shots on goal (three in the first half, eight in the second), with the Lumberjacks shooting 13 times on goal.

Cusick annihilates Lacrosse-Washtucna BY DESIREÉ HOOD OF THE MINER

CUSICK – The Cusick Panthers opened the season with a non-league blowout at Lacrosse-Washtucna, beating the Tigercats 58-6 Friday, Sept. 5. Panther quarterback Tyson Shanholtzer ran in a 12-yard and a 35-yard touchdown, putting up the first 14 Panther points. It was a lead they never gave away. “They played a very disciplined, team oriented game,” Cusick head coach Sonny Finley said. “When you don’t notice an offensive line during a game, they are playing well.” Eli Peterson ran in a 22yard pass, adding eight more points to the Panther scoreboard. Shanholtzer returned a 27-yard fumble, closing out the first quarter with a 30-0

lead. Peterson opened the second quarter scoring with a 20yard fumble return. Alec ON DECK: Bluff had VS.

PRIEST RIVER – After trailing 13-0 in the first quarter, the Priest River football team came from behind to beat the Chewelah Cougars, in a non-league game Friday, Sept. 5, with a final score of 36-33.

Dispatch also fields calls for the Kalispel Tribe property in Airway Heights. Certain police calls are generally omitted because of space constraints. These include but aren’t limited to ambulance calls for illness, unfounded alarms, traffic stops, dogs at large, abandoned vehicles, 911 hang–ups and civil standbys.
