State has new formula to measure student progress Adequate Yearly Progress redefined BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Newport School District, like more than 100 across the state, did not achieve Adequate Yearly Progress last year. While the majority of Newport students did meet standard – as passing the tests is called – there were enough deficiencies to keep Newport from making AYP. The deficiencies were in the areas of reading, where 74 percent of the district’s students met standard, but to make AYP, 74.5 percent is needed to meet the standard. The district did meet standard in math, with 69 percent of the students proficient. The target was 67.2 percent.

Newport broke out the test scores by schools. At Stratton Elementary School, 72.2 percent of the students were proficient in reading. The target was 76.8 percent. In math, 71.5 percent of the students were proficient. The target was 69 percent. At Sadie Halstead Middle School, students surpassed the reading target of 71.9 percent proficiency, with 74.5 percent meeting standard for reading. Math was another matter. There, the target was 69 percent, with 67.1 percent of Sadie Halstead students meeting standard. At the high school, both the reading and math targets were met, with 84 percent proficient in reading and 87.6 proficient in math. The target was 82.5 percent for reading and 71 percent for math.

New parks for Newport Spray park and veteran’s park under construction BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

Wildfire smoke affecting Pend Oreille County ELLENSBURG – More than 100 lightning-sparked wildfires are producing potentially harmful smoke in areas of Central and Eastern Washington, including Pend Oreille County. Over the weekend, lightning strikes ignited fires along the east slopes of the Cascade Mountains and into the interior of Eastern

Washington. Crews from the U.S. Forest Service and the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) are battling the blazes. State fire assistance has been mobilized under the Washington State Fire Services Resource Mobilization Plan to support local firefighters

NEWPORT – Newport residents and visitors alike will soon be able to enjoy two new park areas that are currently under construction. The new spray park, being constructed behind the jungle gym equipment at Newport City Park, is sure to be a popular spot when warm weather rolls around next year. The other new park on Union Avenue behind city hall is a tribute to veterans, and it was designed and built with help of a local Boy Scout. During summer vacation, Isaiah Campbell, member of Troop 630, put in 95 of the 100 required hours drawing up plans for the park and making it a reality as his Eagle Scout project. His dad, city councilman Keith Campbell, recommended the project. It was already in the city’s plans, and the volun-

Man tasered, arrested after fight with deputies

Grizzlies growling for homecoming BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

Homecoming festivities Friday

NEWPORT – He can’t tell you his name, but he loves the attention. A new student is behind the Grizzlies mascot head this year. While he must keep his identity a secret, the Newport sophomore is excited for a season of cheering on Grizzlies athletes and being part of this week’s homecoming events. The cheerleaders say it’s always difficult to find someone who wants to be a mascot from year to year. This year’s mascot said he volunteered because no one else did. “I just wanted to be a big bear,” he said.

NEWPORT – Newport High School is celebrating homecoming this week, with a football game against Medical Lake Friday, Sept. 14 to cap the week. This year the school will mark the debut of the free admission homecoming carnival at the school’s main courtyard and gym on Friday from 3:30–6:30 p.m. In addition to free carnival games there will be other Grizzlies merchandise and food for sale.

NEWPORT – A 34-year-old Newport man was tasered after allegedly resisting arrest and fighting with the deputies, according to Pend Oreille County Sheriff Alan Botzheim. William M. Sorenson was arrested and charged with five crimes – fourth degree assault domestic violence, third degree theft, resisting arrest and third degree assault. He is being held on $100,000 bail. According to a press release, two deputies responded to a domestic violence call at Newport Community Hospital Saturday, Sept. 8., where they interviewed a 48-year-old female who was being treated for lacerations to her hand.

|| Teck planners meet Oct. 4 METALINE FALLS – The next Teck Community Planners meeting is set for Thursday, Oct. 4, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the green room at the Cutter Theatre in Metaline Falls. The group is discussing plans for the Pend Oreille Mine property once the mine permanently shuts down. The mine is currently in a temporary state of shut down, waiting for the zinc market to turn around. This will be an all-day “mine shop” planning session to really dig into the research and come up with some valid ideas based on data, said Jamie Wyrobek, director of the Pend Oreille County Economic Development Council. Multiple experts will be in attendance, focused on areas of destination development, geology, planning, economists and more.

More details will be released as the meeting date nears.

Five arrested after search NEWPORT – Five law enforcement agencies descended on a home to execute a search warrant Friday, Aug. 31. By the time they left, five Newport men were arrested. “It’s something we had been working on for a while,” Pend Oreille County Sheriff Alan Botzheim said. He said it goes back to a May case involving stolen property. Numerous items were seized including drugs, power tools and a motorcycle. Richard “Ricky” D. Smith, 26, was arrested for unlawful possession of firearms, using a building for drug purposes, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and possession of stolen property. Mitchel F. Mayfield, 55, was arrested for possession of

under 40 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Steven L. Caudell, 60, Thomas D. Gillock, 19, and Brandon S. Fisher, 21, were arrested on warrants. Agencies involved with the search warrants and arrests include the Washington State Patrol, Kalispel Police Department, U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. Marshals and the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office. There were so many agencies because of the possibility of firearms being used by the suspects, Botzheim said.

Oldtown awarded loan for water system BOISE – The West Bonner Water and Sewer District was officially awarded its $3.3 million low-interest drinking water construction loan for Oldtown, as announced by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) last Friday. The $3,302,464 loan will fund extension of the

district’s water system into the Albeni area. It includes a crossing of the Pend Oreille River, and to add two new wells, a pump house, a reservoir and distribution lines. DEQ is authorized by state law to make loans to assist in the construction of public drinking water systems. Since the annual cost of drinking water service for residential customers exceeds one and one-half percent of the median household income, West Bonner Water and Sewer District is able to qualify for a disadvantaged loan which carries very favorable repayment terms. The loan from DEQ’s State Revolving Loan Fund carries a simple 1.75 percent interest rate, is payable over 30 years, and has a $997,551 principal forgiveness. The favorable loan terms represent about a $2.9 million savings to the community when compared to average costs for municipal general obligation debt issuances. The loan will be repaid through bonds voters approved in 2010.

on track to earn his Eagle Scout designation before December. The bathroom was built off site and moved in about a month ago, and city crews have recently been adding wooden posts between the park and the parking lot. The park was built around the cell tower, which AT&T leases space for through the city. AT&T put up the wood fence around the tower and added some greenery. The park provides a spot for tourists to stop and use the restroom, catching traffic traveling eastbound on Highway 2. Adjacent is a large parking lot that could accommodate RVs. The park will cost a total of about $55,000. Most of that is the cost of the bathroom, paid for with tourism funds from the hotel-motel tax. Other funding came from the real estate excise tax, known as REET 1. It will cost about $200,000 to build the spray park. Half of that is funded by the state’s Recreation and Conservation Office through the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program. There was some delay in starting construction as equipment was being built. Bacon Construction is doing the onthe-ground work. The 3,500-square-foot spray park or splash pad was designed with a pond theme, with fountains that look like flowers, cattails and a frog.

Commissioners should deal with lake level issues

fter two years, the high water issues at Diamond Lake are stagnant. Nothing has been done to move the problem towards a solution. Again, as people pull their boats and docks for winter, the attention is off the problem and nothing will be done until next spring when it’s too late. We think the Pend Oreille County commissioners should step up and take charge of finding a solution this fall. It is their responsibility because the area represents one of the largest concentrations of taxable property and residents they have. Protecting this is their duty. The first act of leadership would be organizing public meetings to set the lake level that they will use to put a no wake order on and take off; this will get the discussions going. These discussions will be heated. Consider the fact that the level of the lake now is the same as it was when the commissioners ordered a no wake emergency restriction last spring. If they had followed this level and logic, they would never have taken it off this summer. They did in response to pressure from those wanting to boat fast. It will be this high or higher next spring because nothing is being done to open the blocked outlet or see if new sources of water can be diverted. We believe the only way to keep moving towards a solution is to set a level or say that the county won’t place the restriction on again. Set the stage for discussion in the next few weeks and not before the season begins. If everyone knows that they won’t be able to use the lake for boating next year they would get involved in finding a solution. Or if those impacted by high water know there won’t be a no wake restriction they will also push to get something done. The second act of county commissioner leadership would be to build a plan with state agencies and local property owners to clear the blocked outlet. This has been done every 15 years in the past and needs to be done now. It should be accomplished this winter and isn’t that big of a project. It’s time for the commissioners to solve this problem that is impacting private property and their constituents in many ways. The problem is equally and unnecessarily harsh for those impacted by the high water and those that can’t use the lake with no wake restrictions. Both groups are and should be upset with the lack of leadership shown by the commissioners for more than two years. This is a real problem right now that needs the commissioners’ attention. This isn’t about one community; this about the leadership and ability of county government to assist and protect the people they serve. If they don’t solve this one then what other problems will they ignore? --FJW

The joys of dog ownership How I missed National Dog Day Aug. 26 I don’t know, especially since I have a new dog. Well, he’s not new except in ownership. Jake turned 12 Sept. 3. I didn’t really want another dog. Actually, I did after having to have Max put down because of a tumor that was pressing on his organs causing pain, followed by GUEST Daisy with OPINION a similar problem and ADELE Eleanor who FERGUSON turned out to CORRESPONDENT have an advanced case of heart worms which her previous owner didn’t tell us about when we bought her. No more dogs, my youngest daughter told me, on account of she was the one who had to take them to the vet and get the bad news, followed by her burying them in her little doggie graveyard next to my driveway. I promised. That was some months ago. I was having lunch one day with some old friends and made the mistake of telling them I missed having a dog since I had always had one or two my entire life and I had paid plenty to have my yard fenced. They looked delighted. It so happens, the wife told me, they were that very afternoon going to take a dog to the Humane Society for a friend of theirs who was hospitalized indefinitely and couldn’t care for him any more.

I promised my daughter no more dogs, I said. Oh, the wife said. That probably means Jake will be put down because they’ll never be able to find a home for him. Then I made my second mistake. Why? I asked. Well, said the wife, he’s a purebred Beagle, but he’s almost 12 years old and he’s kind of deaf. He also is going blind and he has seizures. He’s strictly an indoor dog and barks to get back in when you let him out. His owner had left him alone in her house and paid a teenage neighbor to feed and water him but he was lonely and barked a lot. I promised my daughter, I said. His owner was crying over his going to the Humane Society, said my friend, because she knows he’ll be put down. She’d had him since he was a puppy. Upshot of it was, of course, that he wasn’t taken to the Humane Society, he was brought to my house along with his bed, toys and a sack of dry dog food. His name is Jake, said my friend, who quickly departed before I changed my mind. Jake promptly peed on the rug which was to be expected. I put him out and, sure enough, within minutes he was barking to get back in. And he wasn’t just a little deaf. He was practically stone deaf. His eyes were clouded so he couldn’t see much and it wasn’t long before he had one of his seizures. They consisted of standing very still, raising and holding out first his right paw briefly, then the left paw, and then each hind leg. He appeared to be in no pain. I was concerned about how my cat Pimp would take this new SEE FERGUSON, 5A

|| What has McMorris Rodgers done for us? To the editor: Regarding Ms. Boyd’s letter last week in which she quoted the phrase, “There you go again,” it would be more appropriate if used about her own false statement that Democrats, “are cutting more than $700 billion from Medicare.” Ms. Boyd should follow her own advise to do her “own research to verify the facts.” The monies referred to will come from reducing fraud and waste and not from services. I feel sure Ms. Boyd (and Mrs. Searles and Mr. Scobby) would approve of these savings – savings that will in no way negatively impact Medicare recipients. Ms. Boyd goes on to praise Rep. McMorris Rodgers. I would agree that the Congresswoman is very photogenic. However, I may not be a astute as Ms. Boyd in researching congressional records so I would appreciate her providing all the readers with some information, to wit: The specific congressional resolution numbers that Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers supported during this legislative session that was of actual help to the citizens of Pend Oreille County. If there isn’t a specific bill that positively impacted our county, then perhaps Ms. Boyd can tell us of a bill that the Congresswoman supported and voted for that helped her district in some way. I have not been able to identify such action, although I assume it is in the congressional record. -Paula Greenfield Newport

Deplorable choices To the editor: What a deplorable basket of candidates we are presented with for the upcoming election. H.L. Mencken quipped that an election was, “an advanced

auction of stolen goods.” To conduct such a ploy successfully you have to give the majority of the voters the impression that they will be chosen to fence the goods, while not alarming other voters that you intend to pick their pockets. The Chinese say, “all patriotism is a recollection of the good things you ate as a child.” As we look forward, candidate Romney is projecting that America’s best days are to come. I don’t believe his platform will even bring me close to a recollection of anything I had or consumed as a child. It is said by economists that if you want more of something, you subsidize it. Candidate Obama like, Juan Peron, wants to subsidize poverty and failure. He demonizes the rich and pretends to represent the interests of the poor. Let us hope the next halfcentury does not prove to be as bleak in the U.S. as Argentina’s became when the same policies were followed. -Judson Lightsey Newport

We should be sharing the lake To the editor: With all due respect to Mr. Hunt, I believe he is wrong. I have been on Diamond Lake since the mid-1950s and a homeowner on the lake since 1990. I watched what is now the Inn at the Lake built from the ashes of the house that had been there before. I wasn’t a member of the “Inn Crowd” in 2010 when I bought my current cabin. I wanted to rent it now and then to help pay for the taxes. I wanted to do this legally. Despite my best efforts, the owners of the inn were part of a small group of lake residents committed to do everything possible to derail my applica-

tion, as well as those of others. I lost the summer season of 2010 rentals because of their activities and after last year, I no longer offer my cabin vacation rentals. I tried to make money for the county; I spent the money to apply for the permit; I attended a grueling and mean spirited 90-minute inquisition by these folks at the planning commission meeting and did my best. I was granted my permit as a result of that meeting, starting Sept. 15. I missed the entire summer season. Many of those who wrote letters against the vacation rental process, including Mr. Cagianut, demanded that the county follow their own rules. That demand is finally being fulfilled – to all county residents. The inn changed ownership after the vacation rental regulations were implemented. Why should they get a “pass?” So yes, Mr. Hunt, I do believe you have been misinformed. I wish for the days when everyone could get along and move forward, but unfortunately there is a lot of scorched earth out there, and it will take some time for healing. The lake should be something we share with others – not try to make it a little gated community for a privileged few. -Janet Rose Rea Diamond Lake

Letter writer is misinformed To the editor: Barbara Boyd repeats Republican political rhetoric, but doesn’t read what people write in a letter. I said that “Cathy (McMorris Rodgers) is a fine person” and Boyd says that I labeled her as an evil person. She is not evil, but a partisan politician who votes with her party over the interests of the people she represents. So when national Republicans tried to eliminate Washington State’s

IRS 1040 sales tax deduction, she voted with her party. The deduction was put back in the final legislation by our U.S. Sens. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. McMorris Rodgers then voted along with her party for the conference committee bill. That’s the example that Boyd says wasn’t provided by Democrat letter writers. The idea is to kill a benefit to our community early in the legislative process before it reaches a final vote. McMorris Rodgers has a voting pattern of doing that for programs like school lunches and PBS. Like any master politician she can vote for and against something, and claim her support both ways to Sunday. We can only evaluate McMorris Rodgers by her voting record on our behalf. She claims to not want to pass on the national debt to our kids and grandkids, and then votes for tax cuts and a new fleet of military airplane tankers. So how do we pay for the tankers by cutting taxes? It’s simple. We put the tankers on the national credit card along with the tax cuts. That passes on the debt to our grandkids while giving tax breaks to the richest citizens. Finally, Boyd repeats the $700 billion cut to Medicare bogus line (also in the Ryan budget) without considering that no one can rob funds from the Medicare trust fund which is supplied by our payroll deductions. All payroll funds must be used for Medicare payouts. -Pete Scobby Newport

He bonded to me quickly and never lets me out of his sight, escorting me in every move made, including to the bathroom and back. And my daughter? Jake won her over right away. She calls him “luscious,” which he can’t hear, of course, takes him on frequent walks when she is here and buys him the best dog food in the store (at my expense).

administration for both but they seem to forget that, by far, the lion’s share of the deficits are due to the real estate bubble popping, to Bush era tax cuts and his Middle East wars and to increased baby boomer Social Security and Medicare payments that were already on the books for this or any other administration. Blaming President Obama for running up the debt is like blaming the husband in a bad divorce for the state of his finances after he is forced to move into a cheap apartment, drive a clunker and live on frozen dinners while paying off the mortgage for the expensive house his wife still lives in and for the kid’s health insurance, tuition, child support and alimony. There are bills that have to be paid and no amount of “economizing” (budget cuts) is going to make up the difference. And those who think Mitt Romney is going to pull us out of this mess should take a hard look at his record as Governor of Massachusetts. While the nation’s GDP stood at a robust 5 percent, Massachusetts was barely at 1 percent and ranked 47th out of 50 in job creation. He increased tuition, raised taxes and other fees and increased the state’s long-term

debt more than $2.6 billion. Then look at his “business experience” at Bain Capital, a classic “strip and flip” shop. They made their money buying companies, laying off workers, closing plants and outsourcing jobs to raise short-term profitability, then borrowing enormous sums against those profits to pay dividends. The companies often went bankrupt but still made huge profits for Bain investors. For some reason, the name Gordon Gekko keeps coming to mind. -Brad Stratton Newport

U.S. government should tax all money made here To the editor: There has been too much talk about Mitt Romney’s tax returns. I’m sure he has paid all the taxes he owes legally. But I would be much more interested in knowing how much of his income he has deposited in foreign banks to avoid paying income tax. I’d like to know how much money is in Swiss bank accounts or in other overseas tax shelters. I believe the U.S. government should be able to tax all money made in the United States. -Ruth Calkins Newport

New event center on horizon

Merritt family planning their project this winter BY FRED WILLENBROCK OF THE MINER

PRIEST RIVER – With the site cleared on Highway 2, just west of the entrance to town, the Merritt family is ready to plan the event center they want to build for Priest River next summer. Buck and Carol Lee Merritt’s daughters, Jill Linton and Holly Janhsen, have had the dream of building a facility for the community that could hold about 300 people for weddings and other events. Even though it is in the planning stages they do know they want a building that will have a kitchen. Mike Boeck, who works for one of their companies, Tri Pro Cedar Products in Oldtown, is managing the project for the family. It is being accomplished under a company name of Merritt Town Hall, LLC. Boeck said they purchased the land last year, which included

some wetlands. After getting permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers they proceeded with the plan to fill and level the site. They hope to hydro seed it this year and build next summer. They are in the very preliminary stages of figuring out what will go on the site and who will manage it, Boeck said. He said the family wanted the site to be at the entrance to town. Jill Linton’s husband, Steve, who is general manager of Tri Pro, said they aren’t sure what else will be included in the public site and facility. They have talked about sports fields behind the building. He said the events center will most likely be near the highway. Linton said they also haven’t decided how the event center will be maintained and operated once it is built. Linton said they saw that the community needed this and wanted to give something back to the community.

in lake trout and welcome the prospect of a more diverse fishery, Fredericks said. “In short, people were divided almost right down the middle,” he said. To compound the problem, biologists don’t have a clear picture of how lake trout and kokanee populations in Priest Lake are interacting right now. “Given the split public response coupled with questions about factors controlling the kokanee population, lake trout diet and growth, angler harvest rates, and potential funding, it would be premature to make a decision about the long-term management of Priest Lake right now,” Fredericks said. For that reason, the department is proposing to use the 2013-2018 planning period to collect data needed to better understand lake trout and kokanee population dynamics and ecology of Priest Lake.

COEUR D’ALENE – The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is seeking public review and comment on proposed rule changes affecting fisheries and fishing opportunities in Idaho. Any proposed rules that are adopted will take effect Jan. 1, 2013. The agency is also seeking comment on the draft 20132018 Fisheries Management Plan. The main topic of discussion with the Fisheries Management Plan for the Panhandle region has been the future management of Priest and Upper Priest lakes. Under the 2007-2012 plan, Priest Lake is being managed as a lake trout fishery, whereas Upper Priest Lake is managed to maintain the native bull trout and cutthroat populations through active lake trout suppression. According to regional fishery manager Jim Fredericks, because of the extent of lake trout movement between the two lakes, managing the two as separate systems is not a practical longterm solution. When IDFG scoped the issue earlier this spring in a series of public meetings and through a random mail survey, they sought input on whether people favored managing the entire system for lake trout, which means abandoning efforts to maintain the native fish community in Upper Priest Lake, or trying to restore a kokanee, bull trout and cutthroat fishery in both lakes through implementation of a large-scale lake trout suppression effort on Priest Lake similar to that on Pend Oreille. Not surprisingly, angler opinions were mixed. While the lake trout fishery is very popular with some, others have little interest

working the fires. Fires currently burning include the Canyon Fire near Wenatchee in Chelan County, the Barker Canyon Fire near Coulee Dam on the border of Douglas and Grant counties, the Leahy Junction Fire near Coulee Dam, and the Apache Pass fire burning near Odessa in Lincoln County. Lightning storms Saturday also sparked fires in central Washington, mostly along the east slopes of the Cascades. Currently four of the five Type 2 Washington Interagency Incident Management Teams (WIIMT) have been dispatched to manage fire suppression efforts on fires in different areas around the state. WIIMT No. 3 has been dispatched to Cascade Creek fire on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. WIIMT No. 2 has been dispatched to Manila Creek No. 1 on the Colville Reservation. WIIMT No. 1 is being dispatched to the Wenatchee River Complex near Wenatchee, and WIIMT No. 5 is still at the Highway 141 fire in White Salmon. Wildfires produce plenty of harmful smoke. The biggest threat to people’s health comes from the fine particles in smoke. These tiny particles can get into your eyes and lungs, where they can cause health problems such as burning eyes, runny nose and illness such as bronchitis. Fine particles also can aggravate heart and lung diseases, and even lead to death. Weather influences how severe smoke impacts may be. If the air is stagnant, the concentration of fine particles increases in the air locally. If winds are blowing, they can move smoke rapidly to areas hundreds of miles downwind from a fire. When smoke and fine particle levels are high enough, even healthy people may be affected. To protect yourself, it’s important to limit your exposure to smoke – especially if you are susceptible. Here are some steps you can take: • The Washington State Department of Health recommends that people who are sensitive to air pollution limit the time that they spend outdoors when smoke is in the air. • Children also are more susceptible to smoke because: • Their respiratory systems are still developing. • They breathe more air (and air pollution) per pound of body weight than adults. • They’re more likely to be active outdoors. • Pay attention to air quality reports. The Washington Air Quality Advisory (WAQA) is the tool that that the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) uses to inform people about the health effects of air pollution. WAQA includes information about ground-level ozone, fine particles and carbon monoxide. WAQA is very similar to the EPA’s Air Quality Index (AQI). Both use colorcoded categories to show when air quality is good, moderate or unhealthy. The difference is that WAQA shows that air quality is unhealthy when there are fewer particles in the air. • Use common sense. WAQA and AQI may not have immediate information on conditions in your specific area. If it looks and smells smoky outside, it’s probably not a good time to go for a jog, mow the lawn or allow children to play outdoors. • If you have asthma or other lung disease, follow your doctor’s directions on taking medicines and following your asthma management plan. Call your doctor if your symptoms worsen. • If you have heart or lung disease, if you are an older adult, or if you have children, talk with your doctor about whether and when you should leave the area. When smoke is heavy for a prolonged period of time, fine particles can build up indoors even though you may not see them. • Turn air-conditioning units to “recycle” mode so they don’t draw in outside air. • Don’t think that paper “comfort” or “dust masks” are the answer. The kinds of masks that you commonly can buy at the hardware store are designed to trap large particles, such as sawdust. But they generally will not protect your lungs from the fine particles in smoke.

Rich announced recently he will run as a write-in candidate on November’s ballot. Rich ran against fellow Republicans Cary Kelly and Sage Dixon in the May primary and lost to Kelly, who received 2,379 votes. Rich received 2,020 and Dixon 938. Lewis didn’t have plans to run as a write-in candidate after the primary election, he said. But, he has a problem with what he says is Kelly’s close relation-

ship with commissioner Mike Neilson, District 2. Both Kelly and Neilson are retired law enforcement. Kelly is the former luitenant of the Bonner County Sheriff’s Marine Division. “I candidly have real problems with that,” Rich said. Rich said he has had about 300 people talk to him about running as a write in candidate and he said he has the support of many of the county’s employees, save the sheriff’s office. Rich said he made the final decision to run as a write-in candidate about two weeks ago.

Engineers talking to residents about sewer BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

SACHEEN LAKE – The Local Improvement District has been formed, land has been purchased and the area mapped for the Sacheen Lake $7.9 million sewer system, slated to be in place by the end of 2014. Engineers are currently talking with Sacheen Lake residents about on site improvements that will need to be made, according to Eric Eldenburg of Sewell and Associates. “We’ve talked to a little over half the residents,” Eldenburg said. He wants to speak with the remainder of the 300 or so households that will be hooked into the new sewer system. He urges people to contact him at Sewell and Associates to arrange a meeting, 509447-3626. In July the district purchased 160 acres of land from Stimson Lumber Co. for $357,500. The land is located on Rocky Gorge Road that will be used as a treatment site. The board took action two years ago to purchase the land, district secretary Sheila Pearman said. When the Local Improvement District that was established to pay for the sewer system was

challenged, Stimson granted an extension. The district secured a 20-year loan at 2 percent interest from the Public Works Trust Fund. If the work is completed early, the interest rate will drop to 1.5 percent. When commissioners formed the Local Improvement District to fund the sewer system, they told people they anticipated assessments of about $16,970 per lot, which could be paid at once or over 20 years. The exact amount isn’t yet known. The $16,970 figure is less than an earlier LID, which called for a $21,580 assessment for a developed lot and a $14,000 assessment for an undeveloped lot. Some property owners successfully challenged that assessment in court and the district formed another LID. After LID No. 2 was successfully challenged in court, the district went back and formed LID No. 3. With the LID, residents agree to assess each property owner to pay for the sewer. An aerial topographic survey of the lake was conducted last spring, using lidar technology mounted on a helicopter. With lidar, laser pulses yield direct, 3-D measurements of

the ground surface, vegetation, roads and buildings. Final results are typically produced in weeks, whereas traditional ground-based mapping methods took months or years. Furthermore, they are far more accurate, Eldenburg said. An archeological survey was conducted in the Rocky Gorge area to ensure that there are no Native American artifacts in the area. This summer there will be a wetlands survey conducted. Engineers are meeting with property owners to diagram where wastewater will come out of the home to know where to install a control box and pump unit. They will also identify any septic system that will need to be crushed and filled. The sewer system is expected to be in place by the end of 2014.

TOP RETURNEES: Senior Scott McMeen made it to state last season for the Grizzlies, and he’s been working all summer long to improve. His classmate, Chris Nichols just missed the state qualifier last year, but he’s also been working hard and has made it his goal to get to state. TOP PROSPECTS: With so many new faces on the team and so many new to the sport, there are many unknowns, but coach Rory Axel points to some of the top track runners that joined this year. State hurdle champion Arielle Walden joined the team to “get tough,” Axel says. Jessica Emery, who did track in 2011, stepped up with Walden to be team leaders for the girls. Sophomore Jackie Morrell did everything from hurdles to the two mile in track as a freshman, and Axel is expecting she will do well in cross country.
