BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Cory L. Lane, 38, was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm and failing to register as a sex offender by Pend Oreille County Superior Court Judge Pat Monasmith Thursday, Sept. 13. Lane was found guilty in a jury trial July 25.

Monasmith had granted an

earlier request by the defense, which was agreed to by the prosecution, for Lane to remain free on bond pending sentencing so he could help with his son in Spokane.

Attempted murder not charged against Treadwell NEWPORT – Nelda J. Treadwell, 74, of Newport pled not guilty to first-degree assault domestic violence when she was arraigned in Pend Oreille County Superior Court Thursday, Sept. 13. Treadwell is accused of shooting her nephew. Attempted murder was not charged, said deputy prosecutor Tony Koures, although that was what she was facing at her first appearance in court Aug. 30.

Treadwell was freed on two $50,000 bonds Aug. 31 – one for each charge. Superior Court Judge Pat Monasmith ordered one bond be returned because the attempted murder was not charged.

Treadwell was arrested Wednesday, Aug. 29 at her Newport home. According to court documents, Treadwell and her nephew Tory J. Duty, 43, of Highlands, Calif., had been arguing about a vehicle

when Treadwell is alleged to have shot Duty in the abdomen with a .22 Ruger single action revolver.

Duty and several others were staying at Treadwell’s Sunnyside Drive residence. District Court Judge Phil Van de Veer, who handles first appearances, ordered that Treadwell have no contact with potential witnesses and Duty if she were released on bond. He also ordered that all firearms in the house be turned in to the Pend Oreille County Sheriff before she was freed.

“It’s small, but it’s striking how beautiful it is,” says Arelim Steiner, who volunteers with the food bank and has taken on the garden care this summer, along with other volunteers.

“It was kind of a ratty area,” she says. “Now it looks like a little oasis.”

It was local Girl Scouts that helped transformed the plot from a weedy, overgrown corner of the food bank property into a productive garden.

The state crew using heavy equipment began work early this month and expects to complete the project within two weeks, but they may open it for limited use sooner as they complete the work.

Tuesday, the WDFW crew from Olympia was laying the pre-fabricated cement ramps and the reinforcing materials along the edges.

The two new ramps will be 12 feet wide and 52 feet long. They had previously poured a cement base for the dock between the two new ramps. Divers will anchor the ramps.

Inn at the Lake dispute to be heard by hearings examiner NEWPORT – The dispute between Pend Oreille County and the owners of the Inn at the Lake vacation rental at Diamond Lake will be heard by a hearings examiner and not the planning commission, according to community development director Mike Lithgow.

“Both parties feel it’s beneficial,” Lithgow said. A memorandum of understanding is being negotiated.

A November date is being contemplated to hear the issue.

The county contends that the Inn at The Lake owners didn’t get the necessary building permits to add three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms to the inn, that it needs a conditional use permit to operate a special event center in the current location and that the inn is an unauthorized vacation rental.

The inn is owned by Gayle Cagianut through the Cagianut Family Trust. The Cagianuts say the inn was grandfathered in before the county developed its development regulations, which included a chapter on vacation rentals.

Enforcement of the vacation rental ordinance is complaint driven, Lithgow said. County prosecutor Tom Metzger lives next door to the inn. He filed a complaint and stepped aside. Stanley Schwartz, an outside attorney, was hired to represent the county, since Metzger has a conflict of interest.

CANDIDATES | Wolf issues were one area where all candidates agreed FROM PAGE 1

the U.S. House of Representatives. Sharon Hanek, a write-in Republican candidate, came from Bonney Lake on the west side of the state to make her case for votes for state treasurer.

After the candidates introduced themselves, moderators asked several questions.

County commission candidates were asked what their top three priorities would be and what changes they would make, if elected.

Kiss answered first. He said the county budget is currently funded with about 50 percent grants. He would reduce that percentage. He said the county needs to cut the budget and start building up reserves.

Ibbetson agreed that the county needs to wean itself from grants. The county needs to reinvent itself with a business friendly focus, he said. He said changing the current mindset to make it friendlier to business and people is a priority for him.

Wear, the incumbent, said the entire economy is in the tank, not just the county.

One of her priorities is to reduce the road levy shift. That’s the amount of taxing authority shifted from the road fund to the county’s general fund. She said she would increase staff training so the county would not be dependant on consultants and continue to fund economic development with the .09 sales tax funds.

As for change, she would like to see more collaboration.

Skoog said public safety was a priority for her, as was less government spending and property rights. She said the county needs employees who are not afraid of state and federal agencies. She also saw a need to make it easier to open a business here.

Kiss and Ibbetson were asked what they would do to promote growth in District 3, in the north end of the county.

Ibbetson said that he would look at natural resources – the river and the forest.

There are people experienced working with natural resources that live in the north end of the county, he said.

If more timber land were opened up for logging, it would help the economy, he said. The pike fishery is something that is valuable and the north county airport is underutilized, he said.

THE NEWPORT MINER

Kiss said that things have changed from when he grew up in the north end. Back then a person could go from high school to a good job in the mines or the cement plant or in the woods. There are no easy answers, he said. He isn’t a big fan of tourism as the only economic driver, but he says it must be a part of it. The north part of the county has always been resource based, he said, and the county needs to get away from relying on that.

Hanek, the candidate for treasurer, was asked what she would do to balance the state budget. She said that the office of treasurer really isn’t the decision maker on the state budget.

Hanek said the treasurer’s job is to provide accurate information to legislators so they can make budget decisions. She said it is important to look at the actual expenses so that legislators have information that is in line with reality.

The congressional candidates were asked what they would do about wolves and the changes to the whitetail deer hunting restrictions.

Kretz, the incumbent, said that wolves kill too many head of livestock and wildlife. Pressure must be kept up to keep their population from getting out of control, he said. The best way to do that is with coalitions with the public, he said.

As for the white tail deer hunting restrictions, he said that Stevens County hunters had advocated for them with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. It would take similar advocacy to change them.

Wilson agreed that wolves are a problem, especially for elk herds. They are a problem caused by the federal government, he said.

He said that hunters would need to go to state Fish and Wildlife meetings and make their views known.

Wolves seemed to be an area all the candidates could agree. After Wilson and Kretz made their points, each of the other candidates weighed in.

Ibbetson said that the county has the right to coordinate with federal and state agencies to make sure wolf management are acceptable to local standards.

Skoog agreed that coordination is the way to influence federal and state policy.

She said she has had training in such coordination.

Wear said that the county commission, through outgoing commissioner John Hankey, has been at the table regarding negotiations over how to manage wolves.

She said that county resources are limited and that there is only so much the county can do. They can’t take it all on, she said.

Kiss said that the county has been here before – with grizzly bear and caribou.

Protecting habitat for these animals closes down the forest, he said. He said that the county needs to work with the agencies that manage wolves.

Dan Peterson, the PUD candidate running unopposed, was asked why the PUD keeps seeking authority to sell retail broadband services, thereby competing against private business.

Peterson said that the PUD prefers to work with private businesses, selling them wholesale broadband services that they would resell to the public. But so far, he said the private sector hasn’t been that interested in making broadband services available to the public, especially in remote parts of the county. He said he hopes the PUD will never need to sell retail broadband services because the retail service providers will step in and make the services available.

Commission candidates were asked how they would handle the shift of money away from roads and still balance the county budget.

Skoog said that she would look at the budget category by category, line by line and try to plan for the unexpected. She says it goes back to governmental priorities.

Ibbetson said that he has been told that the county was risking state money for roads by continuing to transfer taxing authority away from the road fund. He also said it was a matter of prioritizing county services.

Wear said that she has worked to reduce the size of the road shift each of the last three years. But it appears the current economic situation may be the new normal, she said. She said it will be another couple years before the county can completely eliminate the road levy shift.

Kiss said that the county needs to trim the budget where they can, but that the county has already cut its spending to the bone. The key is for the economy to turn around, he said. Until then, the county

must continue to be careful how it spends money.

Kretz and Wilson were asked how much funding should education receive from the state and federal government and how much should be local.

Wilson said he didn’t know, but that education was 26 percent of the state budget.

He said that most of the money would continue to come from the state. He said local school districts appeared a little top heavy in management.

Kretz agreed that schools were too top heavy in administration. He said that Olympia has too much influence on what happens locally. He does support levy equalization – a way for small, property tax poor districts to adequately fund education.

Finally, commission candidates were asked what they would do about economic development.

Wear said she would continue to support the work of the Economic Development Council.

Kiss said that the county should make sure people know about what resources are already there.

Ibbetson said that the county was overregulated. He advocates finding out from businesses what the county could do to make things easier for them.

Skoog said she would encourage people to become more involved with government.

The most exciting part of the evening came at the end. Skoog, in her closing remarks, made reference to a bill Kretz sponsored the 2011 Legislative session that would have let four counties with small populations opt out of the Growth Management Act. Skoog said that her opponent had stopped the county from being able to opt out of the state’s Growth Management Act. Her opponent, Wear, said that she was glad to know she had that much power.

Wear said she was advocating for a public process if the county were to opt out of the GMA. She said she would take the same position again.

Kretz took the microphone to explain.

If the bill had become law, he said there would have been opportunity for public participation when the county formally took legislative action to opt out, just as there would be with any legislative action.

Three year sentence in obscenity case COEUR D’ALENE – Troy Levi Williamson, 24, of Oldtown was sentenced to 36 months in prison for transportation of an obscene matter, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced.

Chief United States District Judge B. Lynn Winmill also ordered Williamson to serve three years of supervised release following his prison term. He pleaded

guilty to the charge on June 20 and was sentenced Sept. 6.

According to court documents, in July 2010, an officer with the Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) developed information that a computer in Oldtown, possessed sexually explicit images of children. ICAC officers prepared and served a federal

search warrant in September 2010. A United States Secret Service forensic examiner found that such images were on Williamson’s computer.

The case was investigated by the Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, a task force comprised of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in Idaho.

Obamacare will hurt rural medicine

County must be involved in tribe’s land purchases A

s part of a program that has gone on for many years, the Kalispel Tribe of Indians, in partnership with the federally owned Bonneville Power Administration, announced plans to purchase and manage another large parcel of land in Pend Oreille County. As the amount of land under this management plan to mitigate the environmental impacts of BPA owned Albeni Falls Dam has grown, we again feel the county should be involved with the planning. The county should know what the economic impacts of taking land permanently out of use and putting it into a natural state would have on the region.

This site being purchased now clearly brings this issue to the public spotlight and hopefully discussion. The tribe is proposing to buy more than 500 acres or most of the Saddle Mountain Ranch and RV park on LeClerc Road between Usk and Newport. It was one of the recreational developments that county officials and economic development leaders were predicting to be the savior of the county’s weak economy and tax base just a few years ago.

The beautiful field and forested site above the Pend Oreille River was going to go from a million dollar forest and agriculture resource to a $20 million development, they said. New property tax dollars for government and consumers for local businesses were coming, they predicted. Business and market problems ended the developers’ plans and the land was put on the market.

The ups and downs of business are sad but normal. What is different in this case is that when sold it will be taken out of the market forever and be added to the hundreds of thousands of acres either held by the tribe, U.S. Forest Service or state that will never be developed. With more than 60 percent of the county now in this ownership category and rising, we think it’s time for the county to say they want an economic impact study done before they sign off on more.

The tribe and their staff has been doing everything right and done a good job keeping the public informed of their plans. They always ask for public comment before each step of a new acquisition. Recently, they even asked for public comment on their entire land use plan. The county hasn’t responded in the past but we believe now is a good time to start.

They must get assurance that taxes will be paid, hunting and fishing allowed and above all that this won’t hurt future economic growth.

The tribe’s plans for the Saddle Mountain property might be great and maybe enhance the overall quality of life in the region. But just like every other dramatic development proposal, everyone living in the county should have all the information on impacts and the final say.

--FJW

Lunch with Norm Dicks I had lunch with retiring Congressman Norm Dicks the other day which was a bit unusual since we haven’t exactly been buddies his whole 36 years in office.

No, it wasn’t anything I wrote although I have mentioned that when you’re talking to Norm he’s usually looking over your shoulder to see if somebody more important is coming along. But I have never questioned GUEST his ability and OPINION his dedication to his district. He’s ADELE smart, he works FERGUSON hard and he is CORRESPONDENT much respected by his constituents and his peers. He has succeeded admirably in bringing home the bacon for the Sixth District and the state.

Since the lunch was his idea, not mine, I was curious to find out why.

And why, since he was considered as practically unbeatable he decided not to run for reelection.

I heard, I told him, that you might have been influenced by Sen. Henry “Scoop” Jackson’s unexpected death at age 70 so he was not able to enjoy any retirement years although like you he was practically wedded to the job. Now you’re 70. Was that it?

Well, he said, during his football playing years he had suffered a spinal injury which of late has worsened and that’s part of it. Also, he said, take my 36 years in office and the eight years I spent before as Sen. Warren Magnuson’s aide and that’s a lot of years. It just seemed like the time.

But you’re too much of an on the go guy, I said, what are you going to do instead? I can be of great value as a consultant, he said. True,

by law, I can’t deal with anybody in the House for a year after I retire but I can deal with the Senate. And I know a lot of senators.

You know a lot of people period, I said, but who takes your place in the Washington delegation as the go-to guy for defense? You took over after Jackson’s death, now who?

What’s wrong with Adam Smith? he said. The District congressman is on the House Armed Services Committee and he’s a bright and savvy guy.

Well, OK, I said, and I expect you’ll be doing a lot of fishing.

Norm Dicks is nuts about fishing.

Salmon fishing in particular. It’s in his blood. His late grandmother, Hilda Parker, was one of the great fisher people at Campbell River. A 68-pound salmon she caught used to hang on the wall of the Bremerton Sport Shop.

Norm raised a lot of eyebrows when he voted against the Persian Gulf War resolution. With all the defense installations in his district, he was expected to stick with the president. Once the resolution was adopted though, he supported it “enthusiastically.”

Back in 1984, he got on the bad side of state Democratic chairwoman Karen Marchioro when he voted for the MX missile. A resolution said to be aimed at Dicks passed at the Democratic state convention that year directing the state party to seek congressional candidates who opposed the missile. Marchioro was rumored to be looking for a Democrat who agreed more with her peacenik ideas.

Party leaders denied it but Tacoma Mayor Doug Sutherland, who lived in the 6th, admitted she asked him if he wanted to run for Congress. He said no and laughed it off.

Anyway, when we’d finished SEE FERGUSON, 5A

|| Romney saved many businesses

To the editor: Ms. Greenfield said that the government as going to get the $715 billion for Obamacare taken from Medicare by stopping fraud and waste. If you believed that then I have a bridge I would like to sell you.

If it is so easy to stop the fraud and waste, then why hasn’t he done it in the last three years?

Obama is taking the money knowing full well that it will never be paid back. He is using Medicare as his personal piggy bank for Obamacare.

As for Mr. Stratton saying that Bain Capital under Mitt Romney was nothing more than a strip and destroy company is totally wrong and in fact it was just the opposite. As a venture-capitalist, Romney’s first major business deal involved investing in a start up office supply company with one store in Massachusetts.

That company called Stapes Office Supply now has more than 2,000 stores and employs more than 90,000 people.

Romney and his company, Bain Capital, would go on to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino’s Pizza, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot and

many others.

Also all the companies that Romney invests in, only private funds were used. Whereas Obama has done the same thing as Bain Capital, with companies such as Solyndra and many other “green” companies. What happened to them? Most went bankrupt.

The big problem for Obama is he used the public “our” money, and lost it.

-Richard Miller Newport

Since when is rudeness an American value?

To the editor: Mitt Romney’s foreign policy is to never apologize for American values. I am not sure what values he is talking about, but he reminds me of a guy who bumps into you coming through a doorway. What usually follows is “pardon” or “excuse me” or even “sorry.”

Not Romney. Romney isn’t going to say sorry because he has the right to that doorway and you shouldn’t have been there in his way.

When did rudeness become an American value? He paints Obama as a weak leader who will apologize for American deeds when those deeds are wrong. Of course we Americans are perfect and never make mistakes like sending a

R E A D E R S’

Hellfire missile into an Afghan wedding party. No apology needed there as those people are not Christians and might one day attack us.

I wouldn’t criticize Obama for his apologies, but for continuing to promote American imperialism and running up our debt with military wars and occupations. We aren’t making any friends by flying drones over their countries and shooting missiles at people.

How would Americans react to the Russians sending drone aircraft over our airspace?

What would we say if one of their missiles hit a wedding party and killed dozens of our citizens?

Romney vows to take us into another war with Iran over their nuclear program. I am sure that a war economy will create jobs, but what will it do to our debt? Every modern president has used war to promote American exceptionalism and fuel our economy. Romney would double down on that foreign policy.

The problem with Romney’s policy is that it invites the very attack that his toughness is supposed to prevent. If Romney wants to insult and shove a “stand your ground” country because of our values, he should expect a push back.

Ann Romney’s speech did a great job of personalizing Mitt Romney and making him more likable.

Neither speech impressed me.

A few days ago, an inspiring and passionate nurse from Spokane came all the way to Washington, D.C., to talk with GUEST me about OPINION the future of REP. CATHY health care MCMORRIS in America.

RODGERS As part of a R-WASH. group with the American College of Cardiology, DeAnna Jones struck me not only with her steadfast commitment to preserve Medicare, but with the compassion she has for her patients and her tireless work to make their lives better. She reminded me how hard nurses and doctors all across this country work every day to improve people’s lives.

And as I’m reminded whenever I’m home in Eastern Washington, this is particularly true in rural areas.

Rural Washington – and rural America – face significant barriers to health care access. Very often they face unique financial, geographic and transportation obstacles – in addition to a longstanding inability to recruit and retain a strong medical force.

While nearly 75 million Americans live in rural areas, only 10 percent of physicians practice there. In fact, there’s one county in Eastern Washington that doesn’t have a single primary care physician.

ObamaCare exacerbates an already problematic situation by failing to acknowledge the disparity between urban and rural health care access. This needs to change and I am proud to stand on the floor of this Congress to do just that.

Originally from Kettle Falls, I know what it’s like to live in rural America. I understand what it’s like when those back at home tell me how far away they are from the nearest hospital, how limited their access to doctors is, and how long it takes for an ambulance to get to their loved ones in response to an emergency. I understand first-hand the challenges they face, and I’m here in Congress to do everything I can to change them.

That’s why I’ve introduced the Rural Hospital and Provider Equity (R-HOPE) Act – a bipartisan bill that will help rural communities protect and expand access to high-quality care.

This bill would increase Medicaid and Medicare payments to rural hospitals – payments that would otherwise be phased out if ObamaCare were fully implemented – so that rural hospitals can survive. The bill increases payments to Rural Health Clinics so they can more appropriately cover costs. It improves access to critical access hospitals by improving ambulance reimbursements, and it increases access to home health. As co-chairwoman of the Congressional Rural Health Coalition, I am committed to working across the aisle to make life for those in rural communities better.

The most effective way to make that happen is to ensure that ObamaCare is fully repealed. Not only have I voted – before and after the Supreme Court ruling – to repeal ObamaCare; I have worked hard in the Health Subcommittee to advance legislation for America’s patients and health care providers. Just this week, my National Pediatric Research Network Act passed the Subcommittee and will move to the full Energy and Commerce Committee next week. The bill would SEE MCMORRIS, 5A

authorize the National Institutes of Health to establish up to 20 pediatric research consortia throughout the nation, some of which would focus on rare and genetic diseases. I’ve also advocated for the repeal of medical device taxes, FDA reform, doctor training, and funding for a medical school in Spokane. I am proud to say that all of these bills have garnered support from Republicans and Democrats alike.

While Congress can be extremely partisan at times, protecting and promoting access to quality health care trumps party politics. And that includes those in rural communities. Partisan

bickering will do nothing to advance the cause of rural health care. I’m proud to represent rural America because their challenges were once my challenges. The disparities between urban and rural health care are significant, and the challenges rural communities face are real. But they are not insurmountable.

DeAnna Jones reminded me of that just this week. She reminded me that our resolve is far greater than our challenge.

And she reminded me of all the work health care providers do to improve lives, change lives, and save lives. Now it’s time to make sure those in rural America have access to them.

they noticed water had actually reversed its flow and was headed back toward the lake, public works director Sam Castro said.

“We’re doing weekly inspections just because this has been a concern to many folks,” he said.

It’s the county’s duty to protect its road. Castro couldn’t say what the cause of the backflow was. He believes it’s a combination of many things, such as vegetation, silt and beaver activity.

Roof repairs at the Pend Oreille County Courthouse started last week, and contractors from World Wide Roofing Systems should be done by the end of the month. The county received a state grant worth $18,000 from the Historic County Courthouse Grant Rehabilitation Program to replace the roof membrane and address leaks. The total project cost is $28,400 for the courthouse roof and almost $6,000 more for the annex building. The county will pay the remainder from its buildings and grounds fund.

Fire claims Cedar View Estates home SPIRIT LAKE – A home in the Cedar View Estates subdivision was destroyed in a late afternoon fire Sunday, Sept. 23. “It was fully involved when we got there,” Spirit Lake Fire Chief John DeBernardi said. Nobody was home when the fire started, he said. The origins of the fire are still being investigated, he said, but it doesn’t look suspicious. Fifteen firefighters turned out to fight the blaze, DeBernardi said.

They were on the scene for about four hours.

Backwood Beds and More offers custom made beds

BY MICHELLE NEDVED OF THE MINER

ELK – Backwood Beds and More is truly a family affair. Aaron and Criona Kelley and their five children build custom beds in Elk. Andy, Emmie, Aideen, Sam and Kate range in age from 11 to 16, and help with sanding, staining and delivery.

The product is called plank beds, made of lumber from local mills, especially Stimson in Priest River. The business started when Aaron and Criona decided to build bunkbeds for their kids themselves, rather than pay a lot of money for something of poor quality.

When the bed was finished, however, Criona went behind Aaron’s back and sold the bed on Craigslist.

It turned out to be a good idea. The business is so successful it’s the family’s sole income.

Aideen, who will be 14 in November, has really taken to the business and is a whiz in the shop.

“My husband says, ‘she walks circles around most people,’” Criona said.

The beds are custom made to the specifics of the customer, including height, color and storage options. They don’t only make bunk beds but a number of varieties.

Criona said there are several bed manufacturers in the Inland Northwest and each one has their own niche. It’s an unspoken rule to not “step on each other’s toes.”

The Kelleys have been operating Backwood Beds for about a year and a half. They started the business with $75 and some hand tools, “and since have made a nice shop in our basement,” Criona said.

Prices include tax and stain, and the Kelleys offer delivery. Visit www.backwoodbeds.com.

Two local women open Illustrated Skin Tattoo in Newport

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT - A pair of local women opened Illustrated Skin Tattoo and Piercing Aug. 1.

Sabrina Ross, a 2008 Newport High School graduate and Brook Kramer, a 2001 Cusick High School grad, opened up their business on the second floor at 418 E. Third, the former Sewell Engineering building, in Newport.

“There is a high demand for it,” said Kramer.

Ross came to tattooing after she went to school to learn how to paint cars in a body shop.

“But it was hard to get a job, and I liked art,” she said. So she and Kramer got licensed and

opened their shop.

You have to be licensed by the state to do tattoos and piercing, learning about blood born pathogens, mainly.

Both Kramer and Ross Ross are licensed, but Kramer considers herself to still be an apprentice to Ross, although she has taken a community college course on pressure points and studied online, along with learning Kramer from Ross.

Ross apprenticed with a woman in Spokane and has taken classes.

As you might imagine, both Ross and Kramer have tattoos.

Kramer has nine and Ross has 13. Both have tattooed themselves and each other.

“She did a foot tattoo on me,” said Kramer. Kramer tattooed paw prints on her own side.

O’Roddens features Irish dining at Diamond Lake

BY MICHELLE NEDVED OF THE MINER

DIAMOND LAKE – The former Burro Inn at Diamond Lake is now O’Rodden’s Pub and Eatery, featuring Irish food and drink. Mike and Susan Rodden of Oldtown purchased the restaurant and bar from Mark and Loretta Wilson.

The establishment opened last week.

While the Roddens have never operated a restaurant before, they’re well versed in dining out.

“It’s something we’re passionate about doing,” Susan said. She will run the establishment, and her husband, Mike, will help out.

Their 10-year-old daughter Rosy also helps. She helped getting the building ready for opening and earned money for new school clothes.

The theme will be Irish fare, such as stews and corned beef, but other specials will be offered as well.

The establishment is family friendly and will feature live music every so often. Susan said she wanted someplace everyone could go and feel welcome.

“I come from a huge family, and I enjoy that,” she said.

Susan has been coming to this area since 1977, when she lived in

the Spokane Valley. Mike has been coming here since 1984 and they moved here about 13 years ago.

She said they have always been looking for opportunities to open a restaurant and while they were thinking of a smaller space, this is what came open.

“We really wanted this one,” she said.

The Roddens know a lot of restaurant operators in the area

and spent one summer eating at a different restaurant every week.

“We used to go out to eat all the time,” she said.

O’Rodden’s had a “soft” opening last week and opens at 11 a.m. daily. Susan expects hours to change once they understand the needs of the community, and those hours will be posted outside.

O’Rodden’s can be reached at 509447-1000.

PRIEST RIVER – This may be her first business venture, but the new owner of King’s Bar and Grill in Priest River is no stranger to the restaurant business.

Owner Julie Pieper’s parents have had a restaurant for 50 years in Pocatello. She worked for her mom on and off for 25 years, and now her sister runs the place.

Since Pieper bought King’s in June, it’s the food that has been the biggest hit.

“My food is what everybody is talking about,” Pieper says between cleaning work and phone calls on a Thursday afternoon at King’s.

She serves the typical pub fare – a bit of everything and a lot of fried food. The menu has burgers and sandwiches, fish and tacos, appetizers and some breakfast items. She plans to add home-

made bread.

Pieper said she’ll be serving food as long as the bar is open. Patrons will be able to get a meal all the way up to closing time.

Pieper has plans Pieper to turn King’s into more of a sports bar. She’ll be adding some flat screen TVs. But she says they’ll continue to host pool and dart leagues, and the lottery machines will be back up. She hopes to have karaoke every other Friday and Saturdays, and she’d like to try a jam session on Sundays.

Pieper has been putting in a lot of elbow grease cleaning the bar interior. She’s added new smoke eater machines to clear the air.

“A lot of people have noticed the change,” she said.

Currently helping out behind the bar are Pieper’s two friends

she brought with her from Quartzite, Ariz., Heidi Turner and Peggy Ware.

Pieper, 49, came to the Priest Lake area to look for a restaurant to buy there. Her realtor showed her King’s, which longtime owner Ray Agronis decided to sell so he could retire.

In Arizona, Pieper was a procurement officer whose job was to purchase items for local government.

She has a range of experience, from selling oil to working for UPS and Western Union. Pieper has two adult sons, one in Pocatello and one in Arizona, and she has six grandkids.

Currently, King’s Bar is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays and Mondays, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and “open to close” Fridays and Saturdays. Call 208448-0134.

Indulgence takes place of Envy salon

BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – The little yellow hair salon on Highway 2 in Newport is under new ownership and a new name.

Indulgence Hair Design opened in June after a former Envy Hair Salon employee purchased the business from Irene and Kip Boures, who moved to Kentucky.

The new name, Lawrence says, lets people know that the place is under new ownership and offers new services. She’s planning a full remodel next spring.

Lawrence worked at Envy for a year and a half. Before that, she had a range of careers, from helping out with fire fighting for the U.S. Forest Service to waiting tables. She and her two employees graduated from the Glen Dow Academy of Hair Design in Spokane.

Lawrence also keeps up to date on her training taking continuing education classes each year.

Hanna Moreland has been a cosmetologist for 18 years, and Sarah Otte is an esthetician, a skin care specialist.

Indulgence offers haircuts for

men, women and kids of all ages.

Other services include color, perms, scalp treatments, manicures and pedicures, make-up, lash and brow treatments, and hair removal techniques including waxing and treading.

It’s been Lawrence’s goal to own her own salon since becoming a cosmetologist.

Her husband, Adrian Lawrence owns ADL Tree Services. They have five kids: Aden Lawrence, 10,

Psychic offers readings as a road to healing NEWPORT – One Newport resident is hoping to use her psychic ability as a way to help people heal. Marsha Lord, who recently returned to the Inland Northwest after living in the Seattle area, says some people use psychic readings as an alternative to long term counseling.

It’s a less expensive option, she says. She charges $50 a reading.

She calls her business the Fountain of Spiritual Youth.

She offers a listening ear, evaluation and feedback. “I think it’s important for people to make their own decisions,” she says.

Lord says there’s nothing eerie about psychic readings, it simply opens your eyes to information that’s already there. And, she would say, there’s no evil in it.

Lord herself is a Christian.

“It’s important to know that everybody is psychic,” she says.

She’s been working with her psychic abilities for many years.

“You practice anything and you’ll be good at it.”

Lord learned about it from a college friend who was psychic.

She asked for a lesson, and before long her friend told her there was nothing more she could teach. It all came from within.

During a typical reading, Lord uses tarot cards, and lays out a lot of options and discussing the pros and cons. She describes it

as a map, and the options give you a place to go on the map. A psychic reading, she says, is a vehicle to making a decision.

Lord Lord and her family lived in Sandpoint from 1995 to 2002, then moved to Edmunds. She worked, teaching English as a second language at Seattle University.

She said they love nature and animals and they didn’t want to retire in the city.

After her husband, Jack, retired from house painting, they moved to the Newport area about six months ago. They have one daughter, Katy, 20, who moved with them.

In the next year, Lord hopes to open a wellness center at her 20-acre property in the Spring Valley. Helping to recover drug and alcohol addictions, the facility would offer biofeedback, hypnotherapy, massage, acupuncture and a vitamin and mineral regime for detoxification, depending on what each client needs.

Building a chapel in the woods is another part of her plan. Lord has her minister’s license and does weddings.

Reach Lord at the Fountain of Spiritual Youth at 509-6710916.

Ana Lawrence, 7, Clara Lawrence, 7, Noah Hart, 7, and Codyann Lawrence, one month. Esther spent her childhood in Oldtown, moved to the Boise area at age 13, then moved back at age 19.

Indulgence Hair Design, 836 Highway 2, is open Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Walk-ins are welcome, and appointments are available extended hours and Saturdays by request.

The restaurant occupies approximately 2,000 square feet in the Five Mile Plaza Shopping Center at Francis and Ash. The first Fatburger location at Northern Quest Resort & Casino opened in May 2009. Since then, it’s been one of the top 10 busiest Fatburger restaurants in the world.

Grant could help county repair Sullivan Lake Road

BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – During a recent road inspection, county crews noticed some major safety concerns on Sullivan Lake Road.

“We saw pieces of the wall literally in the lake,” public works director Sam Castro said, describing the gabion baskets, a type of retaining wall, that have failed.

He added that some of the guardrail beams are exposed as well.

The county is applying for $104,000 in funding through the Colville National Forest Resource Advisory Committee, and

project.

They sought out a $1,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Challenge and Change program and used it to purchase materials for the garden. They helped plan the garden with the food bank, and last fall, the girls dug in to clear the land and build raised beds.

The scouts included Madison Hemphill, Jaymie K., Kylie M., Gracie N., Taylor Gamber, Ericka Powers, and Hannah Frazier.

“They started from the ground up, digging up rocks and tilling

up ground,” said Lisa Hemphill, who helped lead the project for the Girl Scout “It looks like troop.

“It was really a little oasis.” pretty exciting for them,” Arelim Steiner she added. “It West Bonner Food was probably a Bank Volunteer lot more work than any of us thought it would be, but they rose up to it and got it done.”

Now that the site is established, the food bank volunteers take on the care of the garden.

Steiner helped line up donations from local businesses. With the

donation of quality topsoil and plant starts, it made for a substantial harvest for the garden’s first season.

The name of the garden – First Fruits – Steiner points out, rings with the philosophy of giving back.

“The purpose is to bless different households,” she says. “First fruits is what you give back to God.”

the county would put in about $35,500 in design and engineering work, to do in house. The county will also supply materials.

Castro will be traveling to Colville Sept. 26 to give a presentation on the project to the RAC committee that divvies out the federal funds to the three counties.

Between Pend Oreille, Stevens and Ferry counties, the federal government awards about $390,000, to be used on projects that benefit U.S. Forest Service land. Pend Oreille’s share is about $160,000 to $170,000.

Castro indicated that repairing the road should be a priority.

“It’s a critical, primary route,” he said, noting it is the only detour available on that corridor to Canada if Highway 31 is closed.

It also reaches areas essential to firefighting and recreation.

The county patched areas of Sullivan Lake Road last year and went back this year to restore the road, including paint striping and doing work on a bridge deck.

The state is currently leading a project to restore the Ione Bridge where Sullivan Lake Road crosses the Pend Oreille River. Work should be wrapping up soon.

New principal heads Priest River PRIEST RIVER – Paul Kubena is stepping into the principal position at Priest River Lamanna High School, vacated by Shelly Brooks.

Kubena, 60, retired from education in 2003, then took a teaching position in the Caribbean. When he and his wife, Kim, moved back to the states, he worked for a bit in Republic. He returned to Alaska after that, where he had taught and worked in administration for more than two decades before.

When their kids graduated, they bought a house at StoneRidge in Blanchard and moved there in early June.

Additional ADA parking stalls will be installed. The project also includes paving a center area that is now gravel.

SENTENCE | FROM PAGE 1

problems. Lane told Monasmith that his son had assaulted his grandmother and broken out a car window.

Deputy prosecutor Tony Koures asked that Lane be sentenced to the low end of the 87- to 116-month standard sentencing range. He said that attentive neighbors had noticed Lane’s presence at a Driskell Road property and were suspicious.

“Every neighborhood should have people like that,” he said.

Lane is required to register as a sex offender because of a 1992 conviction for attempted rape.

With that felony conviction, he is prohibited from possessing or handling firearms. One of the neighbors testified during the trial that she saw him fire a handgun in the air to signal to a dog to come back.

Lane was also convicted of failing to register as a sex offender.

He was registered in Spokane but since he spent so much time in Pend Oreille County, the jury found he should register here also.

Koures said that there were no victims, no bad intentions on Lane’s part. But Lane ignored a deputy’s recommendation to register here and he should not have handled the firearm, Koures said.

“Lane did not tell the truth and there should be consequences,” Koures said.

Lewellen said that Lane maintains his innocence and will appeal. He asked for Lane to be sentenced to 87 months so the appeal could be filed.

Lane told Monasmith that his son needed him.

“I’m sorry that this has all come to this,” Lane said. “If I can curb him from going down the road I’m in, I’d be grateful.”

Monasmith asked Lane what he could do for him. Lane said that the boy is looking for an authority figure and he is it.

Koures said he didn’t think Lane was a risk to flee, although Lane has been late to many court appearances. He argued that the deterrent of a prison sentence was lost if Lane were allowed to remain free on an appellant bond.

Monasmith agreed with Koures.

“If an appeal bond is issued, I think there is a diminished deterrent nearly two years past when the offense occurred,” Monasmith said in denying the stay. He sentenced Lane to 90 months for being a felon in possession of a firearm and 10 months for failing to register as a sex offender, with the sentences to run concurrently.

Lane brought it on himself, Monasmith said. He should have known not to handle the gun and he was warned to register here.

“These were his choices,” he said.

Lane is also required to pay $1,000 in fees and fines.

Cusick dominates Selkirk

BY MICHELLE NEDVED OF THE MINER

CUSICK – Cusick dominated the Friday night football game against Selkirk, winning 76-24.

This was the first Northeast 1B North League game for both teams. Selkirk is 2-1 overall and Cusick is 3-0.

“This was a tough game for us,” Selkirk coach Kelly Cain said. “Cusick is a very good team and we played a sloppy game.

That’s a bad combo.”

Cain said his team had too many unforced mistakes with breakdowns on both offense and defense.

“Couple that with Cusick’s ability and you get the type of game that we had. We have to do a better job of improving those things under our control. That’s what we will be focusing on,” he said.

Dominic Cain went nine of 21 passing for 282 yards with three TDs and one interception. Cusick capitalized on that interception.

Grizzlies put down Ki-Be on homecoming

BY JANELLE ATYEO

The Priest River girls took home a third place trophy behind Timberlake and Coeur d’Alene Charter, but coach Lance Clark said it could easily have been second or possibly first with a really perfect showing.

“We have had one girl out every week,” he said. “I can’t wait to see what we can do with every girl in the race.”

He’s happy with the efforts of the freshmen girls this year. He said they’re working hard and racing well.

“Madelyn Nordby is giving everything she can to improve and it is showing,” he said, adding that Elizabeth Young stepped up and ran a great race in JV at last weekend’s invite, and she is now their fifth girl on varsity.

“I am looking for some great improvements from both those two.

The post season will depend on their performances,” Clark said.

Clark said that junior Kinya Morrison is a consistent worker who has been doing a great job as well.

Sophomore Erica McCracken and senior Kourtney Aldridge are working out a few injuries, but will be key players for the girls team in the next few races, he said.

“Our possession of the ball and authority to keep control was great compared to what it has been,” Newport coach Jeremy Lewis said.

Newport lost its first three games of the season, one to Sandpoint and the others on a trip to the west side of the state.

After this week, they are 2-3.

Against Ki-Be on a hazy afternoon, Newport had several opportunities around the goal but took a while to find the back of the net.

“But we certainly did, at flurries at times,” Lewis said.

Junior Jolie Frederick put one in off of a strong kick from the right side of the box, about 20 yards out. Sophomore Emily Lewis sent out a nice kick that Frederick deflected past the keeper. Lewis put in another with a rocket kick to the far left post.

Frederick had a second half goal off of a corner kick. Junior Holly Malsbury and sophomore Kennedy Kindred each scored one.

Coach Lewis said the Grizzlies’ offense clicked a lot better, creating scoring opportunities. He said the girls are getting better at focusing on that final touch

Taryn Eldore led all players with

34 assists. Melissa Trost served a half dozen aces and had 16 kills to lead all players in both categories.

Thursday, Sept. 13 the Spartans traveled to Bonners Ferry for their second league match of the season. They won in three sets 25-17, 25-8 and 25-13.

Sage-grouse season down a little BOISE – Idaho Sage-grouse harvest and hunter numbers on opening weekend were down slightly in 2012 compared to previous years, but Idaho Fish and Game ran fewer check stations this year.

Statewide, 563 hunters checked 270 birds in 2012, compared to 615 hunters and 277 birds in 2011. Hunter success was highest in the Owyhees, but similar throughout the rest of southern Idaho.

Hunter success, as measured in

birds per hunter or hours per bird, was up slightly this year. On average, 0.48 birds were harvested per hunter and it took an average of 7.4 hours per hunter to harvest one bird.

At six check stations, Fish and Game personnel queried hunters on their success, number of hours hunted, and numbers of birds seen.

The 2012 sage-grouse hunting season continues through Sept.

Fish and Game announces waterfowl hunting clinics available for youth in Idaho BOISE – The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is soliciting young sportsmen and women interested in learning to hunt waterfowl. Participants and a guardian will have the opportunity to spend morning hunting with an experienced waterfowl hunter at one of three clinics held within the Idaho Panhandle.

You won’t just watch, you will be part of the action. Following a morning hunt, participants will be treated to a free barbecue and skills clinic. The idea is to expose youth to a quality hunting experience and provide their guardian with enough training to repeat the experience independently.

The clinics will be held during the youth waterfowl weekend, so

only those 15 and under will be able to hunt. Young hunters will need to be accompanied by an adult and bring a shotgun and ammunition. Young hunters will also need to secure a youth or small game license for $7.25 with a federal migratory bird permit of $1.75 prior to the event.

Participation will be by advanced reservation and space is limited to 25 participants per clinic. Telephone JJ Teare at the IDFG Regional Office at 208-7691414 to reserve a spot at one of the three clinics and obtain additional details: • Northern Panhandle Clinic: Boundary Creek Wildlife Management Area, northwest of Bonners Ferry at the Canadian Border.

• Central Panhandle Clinic: Pend Oreille Wildlife Management Area, east of Sandpoint at the Clark Fork Delta drift yard boat ramp.

• Southern Panhandle Clinic: Heyburn State Park, northwest of St. Maries at the south end of Lake Coeur d’Alene.

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is also soliciting experienced waterfowl hunters willing to assist with the clinics.

Commitment will be for Friday afternoon through Saturdays hunt.

tumn Bloom Road Race,” Kee said. “When we first saw the course map, some of us were concerned with the number of turns and complexity caused by the intersections of the 5k and 10k courses. Thanks to the course arrows, pace bike and large number of volunteers, I am happy to say that these fears were unfounded.

“We were rather surprised to find more volunteers at your race than many of the races in Spokane. We also appreciated the music and announcer at the start and finish. Congratulations on organizing the community and executing a solid race. We look forward to the continued success and growth of this road race.”

Autumn Bloom committee members including race director Michael McLaughlin, Cindy Campbell, and Barb Pankey were pleased with the overall turnout for the race and look forward to in 2013. Race photos and a complete list of finishing times are available at www. phd1.org.

Mr. Newman was born Aug. 4, 1930, at Lost Creek to Morgan and Jane New-

man.

Family said he lived with no regrets, spending his life with his one true love, Anne, his wife of 57 years. One of his greatest joys was spending time with his eight children, their spouses, 37 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. He was a man of great integrity and honor, family said, always sharing his love of life and experiences for many to enjoy. He lived an exciting life and never wanted for anything other than the woman he loved and the everlasting legacy they started with their family.

Mr. Newman and many of his brothers were employed in the construction on Boundary, Box Canyon and Dworshak dams. Later he logged for various companies. He ended his logging career working alongside his sons, which he truly enjoyed. He also enjoyed his various hunting and fishing trips with friends and family.

He honored our country with his service in the U.S. Army during the Korean War from 1951-1953 as Private First Class.

O B I T UA R I E S Mr. Newman is survived by Anne his wife; his sons Ted E.

Over the next 10 years, three children were born into their new family. In 1983, they moved their family of five onto their property in Priest River, where they welcomed their fourth child and on which Mrs. Lamphere had still resided with her husband John.

Mrs. Lamphere worked in the admitting department of Newport Hospital for the last 12 years. She enjoyed doing ceramics, working in her yard and being outdoors in general, but the most important thing to her was always her faith and relationships. She loved God and she loved her family.

These young settlers helped describe the history of the hunter’s cabin at the museum Saturday, Sept. 15 at Heritage Days.

Stratton students step into the past at museum’s Heritage Days NEWPORT – Stratton Elementary students learned about life in 1800 and 1900s during the 12th annual Heritage Days at the Pend Oreille County Historical Museum.

Local volunteers gave presentations on settlers’ life, Civil War soldiers, hand spinning and firefighting. Students from second, third and fourth grade visited Thursday and Friday, and Saturday, Sept. 15 was a family day.

Dan Rogers led a team building exercise that had students working together to assemble a contraption with a platform that raised up. The goal was to get a better view to help the general find his army.

He and Sam Brooks worked together to come up with the project.

Bill Kendall played the role of the lost general.

He wore his wool Civil War grays and explained Civil War weaponry.

This year, the Kendall family is celebrating 400 years in North America. His great-great-grandfather fought in the Civil War. Karen Skoog was dressed in a long pioneer dress and petticoats.

She explained how the dresses were useful for staying clean

during life on the trail. Giving her presentation in the settlers cabin, she explained how household items were used.

The Newport Fire Department had a truck on hand. On Saturday, kids could get their picture taken

inside the truck. Saturday also featured freshly made apple juice from an apple press.

The museum is winding down its regular season. It will be open on its regular summer schedule through Oct. 12.
