Newport chamber not hosting Santa BY MICHELLE NEDVED OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Santa Claus won’t be visiting the chamber of commerce office in Newport this year, but he will be in Newport. The Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce decided to not host the arrival of Santa and other related activities this year for the first time in more than 30 years. Chamber members, however, are helping with the organizing and the volunteering for the event, held Thanksgiving weekend. “While the ‘chamber’ will not be ‘organizing’ Hometown Christmas, like we did last year, a number of our chamber board members and the chamber’s ex-

IRS seizes Newport Ambulance properties NEWPORT – The Internal Revenue Service is auctioning off three properties in Newport belonging to Steve and Michelle Groom, owners of Newport Ambulance, including the storefront the EMS provider was located at until recently. Steve Groom said Tuesday that the seizure of property by the IRS will not have any affect on the services of the company and no equipment is being seized. The three properties are in downtown Newport, at 117 S. Washington Ave., an empty lot on the corner of First and Spokane, and a vacant house next door on Spokane Avenue. Steve Groom said this is a “blessing in disguise.” It puts and end to a seven-year ordeal, he said. Groom Enterprises changed from a sole proprietor business to a corporation in 2007. In a sole proprietor business, personal assets are also subject to liens against the business. In a corporation, the liens affect only the business. The corporation filed for bankruptcy and is now a non-profit agency operating in Oldtown. Groom said his company is actively trying to collect more than $1 million from patients and that last fall his write off amount was $475,000. EMS service providers have to transport patients regardless of their ability pay. Medicare and Medicaid doesn’t always pay for the actual cost of transports. “We live in an economically depressed

ecutive director will be supplying decorations and volunteering their time and resources in support of this event,” chamber president Barb Smith wrote in an email to The Miner. Smith said the chamber does not want to take away from other community events that are done “very well” and serve an identified need. She pointed out the success of the Newport Hospital Foundation’s Festival of Trees, that “provides arguably the best photos with Santa,” 25 cent crafts for kids and all the festively decorated trees that local business and organizations donate. “The chamber’s mission is to promote and strengthen our business and economic climate while enhancing our area’s

Organizing the beginning of the holiday season in the Newport and Oldtown community has been done by the Newport chamber for more than 30 years. It has taken on many activities over the years but always included a free visit to Santa in the chamber office, the community tree lighting ceremony, free treats and holiday music. Chamber members made sure the first Santa arrival of the season came by Pend Oreille Valley Railroad train, fire truck, sled dog or horse drawn wagon. The

|| Man facing manslaughter charges for shooting NEWPORT – A 57-year old Newport man was shot and killed Monday, Oct. 29 and a 62-year old man is in custody, charged with first-degree manslaughter. Pend Oreille County Sheriff Alan Botzheim said a man called to report that his adult son had shot another man. Deputies went to the residence about seven miles south of Usk, where they found Dana M. Morey, 57, dead from a single gunshot wound to the upper chest Monday afternoon. They arrested Charles E. Langford, 62. He appeared in court Tuesday, where he was charged with first-degree manslaughter and his bail was

set at $100,000. Langford and Morey were longtime friends visiting at Langford’s father’s residence when an apparent dispute occurred, Botzheim said. Langford was treated for seizure-like symptoms at Newport Community Hospital, prior to being booked, Botzheim said. The case is under investigation.

Ione voters may get two ballots IONE – An unidentified problem in the mailing process has resulted in some voters in the Ione area receiving two ballots for the General Election. Voters are being instructed to return just one bal-

lot. The computer system that counts the ballots won’t allow double voting. Pend Oreille County auditor Marianne Nichols learned of the problem last week. She said about 60 people did not receive their ballots. The voters who were missing their ballots were scattered across two precincts, but all were post office box holders. Nichols visited the Ione post office to put up signs altering people to the problem last week. “We’re trying to be proactive,” she said. Friday, the elections office mailed out 300 ballots to voters with post office boxes in Ione. Monday, the Ione post office received the tray of 289 missing ballots in from Spokane. Pend Oreille County’s mail is processed in Spokane. Nichols said she’s not

sure where the problem occurred, but she will be following up with the Spokane postal center. It’s not acceptable for voters not to get their ballots until Oct. 29 when they were mailed on Oct. 17, she said. It was a costly issue, Nichols added. Postage alone cost about $200 for re-mailing ballots, and re-printing ballots for two precincts cost several hundred dollars. Those with questions about their ballots can call the auditor at 509-447-3185 or elections supervisor Liz Krizenesky at 509-447-6472. Voters have until Nov. 6 to return their ballots. As of Monday, 2,316 out of 8,223 – or 28 percent – of Pend Oreille County voters had voted.

Republican Party platform and describe why they support it. After the candidates were through, PCOs cast secret ballots to determine which three to put forward. During the vote each PCO wrote down three names they supported. If a person got six or more votes, they were selected. Manus and Zorica were selected in the first ballot. Antcliff was selected in the second ballot. Antcliff is a PCO, so he voted for the nominees. The names were not selected in any order, Portrey said. County Republican Party chairman Norris Boyd presented the three names to the county commissioners Monday, Oct. 29. “You’re going to have a tough time picking,” Boyd said. The party submitted three experienced candidates, he said. The commissioners, including Merrill, asked questions Monday of Zorica and Antcliff. Merrill was also at the county GOP meeting to select the candidates, although since she wasn’t a PCO, she didn’t vote. Manus was unavailable Monday but was interviewed Tuesday. Antcliff spoke first. Wearing an orange T-shirt and jeans, he told of how he moved to the county in 1992, helped start a cable company and served on the Newport city council. He downplayed partisanship. In response to a question about what qualities he brings to the job, he said he was a “future thinker.” “I plan for the future,” Antcliff said. He was asked about how much he knew about the role of commissioners. He said he knew the budget was the most important thing they did, but said he didn’t know much about what departments they directly oversaw. In response to a question about his experience budgeting, he said he had experience budgeting when he was treasurer of a fraternity in college. One commissioner pointed out the city of Newport has a city administrator, which the county does not. Antcliff was asked if he was aware how much time commissioner duties required. Antcliff pointed out that commissioners are paid more than $50,000 a year, unlike city council members, so they should be working full time and should have the time to attend to commission duties, which he acknowledged were many. He was asked about his union experience. Antcliff said that he had not been involved in negotiations but that he was aware of the importance of unions. His grandfather was a union coal miner, he said, and in the mines, the unions were instrumental in securing safety rules. He was asked to describe his vision for the county. Jobs and improving the business climate were two of his priorities, he said. He was asked what activities, boards and commissions he had been on. Antcliff said he was involved with the Pend Oreille County Historical Society, the West Bonner water district, a joint effort between the city and West Bonner County. He was asked about his management style. Antcliff described his management style as loose. “I don’t want to micro manage,” he said. When asked about the road levy shift, he said he didn’t know a lot about it. Zorica, dressed in a dark suit and tie, spoke next. He said he was a Newport High School graduate, had moved away to serve two terms in the Navy and

Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce president Barb Smith speaks on behalf of Mark Zorica during Monday’s commissioner meeting. Zorica is one of three people seeking the seat held by Laura Merrill. Merrill took a job with the Washington Association of Counties.

returned to Newport, where he managed the Country Lane store in Newport. He was asked how he would handle a full time job as commissioner and run the business. Zorica said he had good employees and a wife that can help with the business. He said he would be able to work full time as commissioner, if he were selected. His experience on boards and commissions included serving as a board member on the Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce, serving on the citizen’s advisory budget committee at the public utility district for a time, working with the Pend Oreille Youth Soccer Association and volunteering with the school district. When asked to describe his vision for the position, Zorica said he wanted to be the voice of the people. He said he would look at what other counties are doing to see if anything could apply to Pend Oreille County. Zorica said that he recognized that the commissioners needed the cooperation of other elected officials to run the county. He said that he would seek common ground when dealing with conflict situations. When asked what departments fell under the commissioners’ direct control, he said he thought information technology and counseling services did. Zorica said that if a road levy shift were required to balance the budget, he would support it. He was asked about budgeting. He said he had experience budgeting as a small business owner and as a council member. When the state got out of the liquor business, Country Lane had to go through some restructuring, he said, which required budgeting. As a city councilman, he said he was known as someone who questioned the expenditures. As far as union negotiations, Zorica said he didn’t have much experience but did recognize the give and take nature of the process. He said common ground must be found to be successful in union negotiations. He said the single biggest issue facing the county was the

Shoreline Management Plan. When asked about his management style, Zorica said he liked to teach. In response to a question about his familiarity with the public process, he said he was familiar with the process through his work on the city council. Unlike Antcliff, Zorica had people speak on his behalf. PUD commissioner Curt Knapp said he has known Zorica for years. Knapp said that Zorica was the “go to guy,” for his family. Lori Stratton said she has children about the same age as Zorica’s kids. She said he was a good role model and a good coach. Rob Owen said Zorica is involved in the community. He said he had no doubt Zorica would be able to run his business and serve as a county commissioner. Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce president Barb Smith said Zorica was a principled decision maker. Tuesday, Oct. 30, Manus returned from delivering a log house in Canada to be interviewed. Dressed in a suit and tie, Manus told commissioners he had managed many people in his role as manager at Safeway. He said he has experience both as a union member and as a negotiator. He said he has started two successful businesses since leaving Safeway 10 years ago. One business, MK Log Homes, sold only two homes last year, so he will have time to serve as a county commissioner, he said. When asked why he wanted the job, he said he has a 27year history with Pend Oreille County. He said he wanted it to be a county that his grandchildren would be able to find work. He was asked what experience he had working with municipal style budgets. Manus said he didn’t have any experience with those sort of budgets but he had experience with the chamber and Safeway budgets. He was president of the Newport chamber in the past.

When asked what boards, commissions and other activities he had been involved with in recent years, he said Ducks Unlimited and the Newport Hospital Foundation. He said the most important issue facing the county was the economy. He said economic development was important to him and he wanted to make the county more business friendly. He was asked about the road levy shift. He said he understood it as a legal method to transfer taxing authority. His vision for the county is to grow businesses, he said. He was asked if he understood the public process nature of the work. He said he understood that closed sessions were limited by law to specific topics.

chamber Santa always arrived at Centennial Plaza, the unofficial town square. Evelyn Reed, Pend Oreille County Historical Society president, said it was the traditional start of the holiday season and viewed as an old fashioned community gathering which was traditional for small towns around the country. The museum participated with special model train displays. The town Christmas tree decorating was taken on by the Centennial Plaza Improvement Association. It is organized by Reed and Fred Willenbrock, publisher of The Newport Miner. They plan to have the tree lit after Thanksgiving. The association raises funds each year for the lights and electrical system repairs, the Newport High School fire science students help repair damage to the 1,000 feet of colored lights, and the Pend Oreille Public Utility District crews put them up on the live spruce tree in the plaza.

Manus also had people speak on his behalf. Bill Betz, a longtime Democrat, said he had worked for Manus for years. He said Manus is a good listener. Betz, who was shop steward at Safeway, said Manus understood negotiations. “He’s downright scary to negotiate against,” Betz said. Curt Knapp, who spoke for Zorica, also spoke for Manus. He said Manus is devoted to the community. County auditor Marianne Nichols said her first job was working at Safeway for Manus. Nichols said she served on the hospital foundation board with his daughter. Antcliff also spoke for him, even though he is one of the candidates. Antcliff said he was confident all three candidates could do the job.

hit the switch to light the tree as part of the holiday event. This year the historical society will light the town Christmas tree. Smith wrote that the chamber’s office and visitor center, which includes restrooms, will be open during the event, usually held Thanksgiving weekend, and the chamber will promote the Hometown Christmas to chamber members. It isn’t clear yet what the schedule and event will be. A chamber sales promotion is in the works, Smith wrote. Smith said the chamber is adding a few events this holiday season. One is a volunteer appreciation night to thank all the chamber volunteers who have helped with chamber events over the past year. The second is a Share the Cheer holiday decorating contest that is open to all members. Members will be encouraged to decorate their storefront, windows or foyers in holiday style, and the community will vote on their favorites. Details were not available at press time.

Fair board to hold annual meeting CUSICK – The annual meeting of the Pend Oreille County Fair Corporation is Tuesday, Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. at the office at the fairgrounds in Cusick. At least 20 Pend Oreille County residents must be present to elect board members. Board members with terms expiring are: Gayle Cagianut, Garth Hanson and Jim Mathis of Newport; Barb McGill of Usk; and Glenn Miller of Cusick. Nominees are: John Hankey of Usk, Garth Hanson of Newport, Mathis, McGill, and Miller. People will have the opportunity to nominate others at the meeting.

NEWPORT – The Newport Food Bank is in the process of moving to a new location and will be closed until Nov. 5. That’s when the food bank organizers plan to open their doors at 310 W. Pine St., across from the PUD building. The food bank will be renting the 30- by 40-foot shop beside the home of food bank volunteer Pearl Pulford. Signage will be put up soon. “I think we’re all excited, the main reason, because we have more parking,” said volunteer Tamra Smrekar. Parking will be available on Pine Street, which is less busy than Washington Avenue where the food bank previously rented space by Owen’s Grocery and Deli. Pulford said it will also give them easier access for deliveries and the rent will be cheaper. The size of the building is about the same, but it is laid out differently, and the volunteers won’t have stairs to walk to get to the storage. There are currently raised garden beds and fruit trees – apple, pear and hazel nut – around Pulford’s property. She said there has been talk of starting a community garden there. The food bank had rented the building on Washington Avenue from the Owen family since the early 1990s. The building previously housed an auto part store and an upstairs apartment. The food bank closed completely Monday, Oct. 29. While doors were closed during their move last week, volunteers still helped people get the food they need. The food bank is in need of donations for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Non-perishable food and cash donations are appreciated. Donations can be dropped at the food bank’s new location, mailed to P.O. Box 1952, Newport, WA 99156, or for more information, contact Smrekar at 509-671-1450. The food bank hours will remain the same. Starting Nov. 5, the new location will be open Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

surface might freeze over, an aerator keeps the water around the pen from freezing solid. They’ll be released in the spring, usually a week or two before fishing season opens. But it’s nice to hold them for an extra month, said volunteer Bob Quaintance. “They really grow,” he said. By the time they’re released, the young trout will have grown four fold. Quaintance said there are about 20 fish per pound when they arrive in the fall, and in the spring it’s close to five per pound.

DIAMOND LAKE – On a chilly morning Friday, Oct. 26, about 15,000 young rainbow trout came to live at Diamond Lake. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) delivered the fish, measuring about three to four inches currently, to the docks below Finch Lodge on Boy Scout Bay. Volunteers with the Diamond Lake Improvement Association are working with the state for about the 14th year to stock fish at the lake. The state provides the fish from its hatchery in Ford and the feed. Volunteers take turns feeding the fish

through the winter. The triploid rainbows are kept in a 20- by 20-foot net pen. The association brought the framework for the structure two years ago. The black tubes keep it afloat off the docks, and the fish are contained in a mesh net that submerges about 15 feet below the surface. When the weather is good, the volunteers make sure the fish get fed five days a week. When it gets icy, the feeding gets cut down to about two to three times a week. While the

Additional burning will be conducted in the Pierre and Summit lakes area north of Orient, and near the Little Pend Oreille Lakes 16 miles east of Colville along Highway 20. Since air quality is a major consideration during prescribed fire operations, crews may suspend burning operation if conditions warrant or if smoke begins to impact local communities.

COLVILLE – Colville National Forest fire managers are keeping a close eye on the weather and moisture conditions on the Colville National Forest. Moisture levels and expected smoke dispersion patterns are within state standards, and crews anticipate beginning the fall prescribed burning season the last week of October and lasting into early winter. Residents in the Pend Oreille Valley and those traveling up Highway 20 can expect to see smoke on the west side of the valley from Cusick, north to Ione. Crews will also be conducting burns in the Browns Lake area south of Highway 20, as well as near the Ruby Creek drainage 12 miles north of Cusick. Burning will occur east of the Pend Oreille River in the Geophysical area near Indian Creek, 2.5 miles northeast of Furport. Residents of the Colville Valley and those traveling near the Columbia River may see smoke

DIAMOND LAKE – The Diamond Lake boat launch, operated by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, will remain open until Nov. 13, two weeks after fishing season ends Oct. 31.

The boat launch will open mid-April, about two weeks prior to the last Saturday in April, which is the opening day of fishing they announced last week.

he Idaho court ruling that a group that contributed more than $200,000 for campaign ads in favor of three Idaho school reform measures on this ballot must disclose its donors is a good ruling. But it is only a piece of the decade old battle over disclosing who pays for political advertising that has raged in Idaho and Washington as well as at the national level. And it won’t end here. It’s time for people to demand full disclosure so they can make an educated decision when voting. But there isn’t a simple answer for how to make this happen. Most Constitutional experts feel that restricting contributions to those that are named violates their first amendment rights of free speech. This was the view of House Speaker Tom Foley even though anonymous attack ads sponsored by large special interest groups backing Republicans helped push him out of office. A clear ruling by the Supreme Court would be necessary to clear this up once and for all. And they probably wouldn’t rule for disclosure. But for now Idaho and Washington have tried to legislate fairness obviously without much success. Special interest groups on both sides of issues haven’t supported full disclosure for advertising because they don’t want to give up a powerful political tool. A humorous example made up by this writer would be an ad headline that read: “Joe Candidate hates our forests. Paid for by the citizens to save our forests for the future.” (In this example the ad would have been paid for anonymously by the forest industry and Joe Candidate would have been a Congressman that supported the end of logging national forests. The industry view is that logging makes for healthy forests for the future.) This disclosure issue stretches to the Internet where anonymous political comments are running rampant today. Some are supported by special interest groups pushing their views. In the Idaho ruling, 4th District Court Judge Mike Wetherall wrote it well: “Voters are entitled to know who is standing behind the curtain.” The simple answer would be for every group to agree with the wishes of the people and list any contributors on the campaign advertisement or at least include the website where they are listed. It’s time to end this potential threat to democracy.

|| Role of government

To the editor: The founders of the nation, in writing the Constitution, placed in its preamble these specific functions of the government: form a union; establish justice; insure domestic tranquility; provide for the common defense; promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty. These roles convey hands-on involvement by the government was fully intended. The government would have the responsibility to look after numerous needs of the people through programs and legislation that provide education, health, the military, economic stimulation, safe and clean food, water and air and protection of the environment and natural resources. They did not intend these functions be passed off to the states nor abdicated to the economic marketplace as we so often hear from one of the parties campaigning for election. Such an economy – as we have seen during the great depression of the ‘30s and the great recession we are now trying to recover from – can concentrate the wealth in a very lopsided manner which does not promote the wellbeing of the all the people. -Nick Anderson Ione

Adele’s ballot includes votes for Romney, McKenna OK, time’s up. The ballot is at hand and we must choose who we think will do the best job of running the country and the state. Our president has had four years to do something concrete about the fact 26 million people are out of work with little to show for it. He reminds me of that Indiana Jones movie where Indiana and his father are captured by the crooks and the father learns his son has with him the book he had sent to him that tells how to find the Holy Grail and snaps, “I should have sent it to the Marx Brothers.” If we could have elected the Marx Brothers to the presidency we would have a better deal than Barack Obama, who has spent his time golfing, flying around the country putting the arm on the rich for campaign funds and kowtowing to various dictators. I hope we send in a man who has proven he can do the job. As for Mitt Romney being a Mormon, I always admired Mormons because when I was a newspaper church editor – theirs was the only church that paid cash for everything they did. As for governor, Democrat Jay Inslee showed what kind of man he was when he quit his congressional job, leaving the district unrepresented for the year he wanted to spend running for governor. Besides, we don’t need a clone of Jim McDermott in this defense-heavy district. Republican Rob McKenna will make a good governor. And despite all the nasty publicity he’s had, I still am voting for Democrat Brad Owen for lieutenant governor. I’ve known him a lot of years when he was a senator, during which he was noted for voting his district, not what he was ordered by the Democratic party.

The D’s ran primary candidates against him but couldn’t get him out. He’s done a fine job of presiding over the Senate. So he took money from lobbyists. Who doesn’t? As for the other state officials, I’ll vote for the Republicans. U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell is not one of my favorite people but she obviously has a lock on reelection with the RepubGUEST lican candidate OPINION dropping out. I’m torn in the 6th ADELE district over a FERGUSON replacement for CORRESPONDENT veteran Norm Dicks. I like Democrat Derek Kilmer but I’m tempted to try to add a Republican in the House with Bill Driscoll. Besides, he was a Marine. On the ballot measures, I will once again vote for Tim Eyman’ s effort to require the legislature to come up with a two-thirds majority vote to raise taxes. That’s Initiative 185. As long as the Democrats are in charge in Olympia they’ll raise taxes every time money is needed. We’ve got to hold them back when we can. I also will vote for I-1240 that authorizes up to 40 charter schools in the state, operated by nonprofit organizations and overseen by a state commission or local school district. The fact that the Democrats have had control so often of the House and Senate is the reason charter schools don’t fare well there. The D’s are beholden for campaign cash to the Washington Education Association, which resists charter SEE FERGUSON, 7A

To the editor: Forty-one years ago our state Legislature initiated legislation to protect and sustain the shorelines and waterways. There have been periodic revisions to the legislation intended to guide the county and city governments. This is a personal and collective endeavor that requires the participation and support of all our citizens. Forces are upon us, pressing to complete, ratify and implement our county’s shoreline management program. By and large, the local governments and the citizenry have not come to grips with – or want to ignore – the enormous requirements and changes that are placed upon us. We seem to have failed in understanding/articulating consensus on how our county communities and residents should proceed in developing and implementing proposals/programs to protect and manage our shore land resources and properties. We must change course to actively support the interests and needs of our residents and visitors. We need the participating and support of all se we may ensure and collectively protect the county’s natural resources, fishery and wildlife habitats, our individual property rights, and our communities’ wellbeing and future development. There mare many interest and political groups (to include state government entities such as the Department of Ecology and other interest groups) that want to share – if not take the lead

– in developing supplemental programs associated with managing our county’s properties, resources, habitats, wildlife and fisheries. While well-intended, each seems to be striving to impose its interests and goals – not necessarily those of our property owners and residents. We must maintain the initiative and lead the activities and interests of our residents, and through them, our county government and administration officials/ workers. We have significant challenges before us: requiring clear and meaningful thinking collaboration amongst all, development and proposal of initiatives/actions that ensure our individual and collective property and personal rights. We cherish and enjoy our individual and collective rights and freedoms, but remember: we must also earn and protect them. -Larry L. Gragg Metaline

State decides where taxes go To the editor: Thank you for your Oct. 10 editorial about the sales tax paid by Seattle City Light and the portion of that tax that comes into Pend Oreille County. Boundary Dam is an important part of our hydroelectric system. Our 50 dedicated employees who work at the dam and who live with their families in Pend Oreille County are proud members of the community. We would like to clarify an item in your article about how state sales and use tax is paid and allocated to local jurisdictions. Seattle City Light doesn’t determine the payment of sales and use taxes. It is up to the Washington State Department of Revenue to collect taxes and to allocate to jurisdictions their proportionate share of the tax. The way in which sales and use taxes are disbursed to local jurisdictions isn’t an entirely new process and isn’t controlled by City Light. In 2007 the Washington State Legislature passed legislation (The “Streamlined Sales Tax” bill) that went into effect July 1, 2008. Instead of taxes (sales or use) being applied at the origin of the purchase, it is now applied at the actual destination of the purchase. Since 2008, Seattle City Light has sent more than $2.3 million in sales and use tax to the state for purchases destined for our Boundary Dam project. As you correctly noted, the state receives 6.5 percent of the sales or use tax and Pend Oreille County receives 1.1 percent. Pend Oreille County is an important partner for City Light and we value that. Very soon, we hope to celebrate with you the announcement of our new operating license at Boundary that will continue our relationship for many years to come. Thank you for the opportunity to clarify our tax

Bob Schieffer: Let me ask you, Governor, because we know President Obama’s position on this. What is your position GUEST on the use of OPINION drones? Mitt Romney: I TOM ROSSHIRT believe we should FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY SPEECH use any and all means necesWRITER sary to take out people who pose a threat to us. Thus, it appears that – no matter what happens Nov. 6 – America will continue to send unmanned aircraft across borders to kill our enemies (and assorted others). There is little outcry in the country against targeted killings and apparently little dissent on the Obama team. It’s easy to understand why. It calculates, “Either we’re aggressive and we kill some people over there or we’re not aggressive enough and they kill some people over here.” Of course, with that construction, the administration is guaranteed to go too far, because the benefits come to it on this president’s watch, and the costs will come to others on a future president’s watch. The costs to the U.S. from drones and targeted killings are twofold: the growth of anti-U.S. hatred and the actions of countries that follow our precedent. The Washington Post says that “there is ample evidence in Pakistan that the more than 300 strikes launched under Obama have helped turn the vast majority of the population vehemently against the United States.” It adds to the outrage that the U.S. won’t apologize or compensate for dead and wounded civilians. In Yemen, the first U.S. targeted killing took out more than its target. A total of 14 women and 21 children were killed. A video was uploaded quickly to YouTube, showing survivors unearthing dead men, women and children who had been buried by the strikes. One leader of a local human rights group told The Washington Post, “Every time the American attacks increase, they increase the rage of the Yemeni people.” What makes drone strikes different from murder? Obama’s counterterrorism chief, John Brennan, said, “When considering lethal force, we ask ourselves whether the individual poses a significant threat to U.S. interests.” What is a “significant” threat? Who decides? How is it applied? What are some examples? Two brothers who survived an airstrike in Yemen in late May were part of the al-Qaida insurgency against the government there, according to a Washington Post article published in June. But they were not SEE ROSSHIRT, 6A

Reporting shows need for shoreline management To the editor: Congratulations to The Newport Miner for the magnificent reporting of three closely related articles as they appear on the front page, Oct. 24, 2012. The need for an adequate shoreline setback zone shown in the picture of Cusick’s riverbank road stabilization project could not be more obvious. Had the original road been located far enough from the shoreline there would be no need for this expensive bank stabilization project. The money could have been spent for road maintenance, which is now sorely lacking as one of the articles explains. Sadly back when this road was built there was no concern for the impact it would have on the environment or for future road maintenance costs. The focus was entirely on development in the quickest and cheapest way. The expensive social and environmental external costs were pushed off to future generations; you and I are now paying those costs. Thank you for the factual and timely reporting. With this information every citizen should be able to make more intelligent decisions on a number of issues including the need for a sufficient shoreline management setback zone, government cooperation and planning, and effectively using our money for the benefit of the most people in the long run. -Ted Kardos, Sr. Member of the original shoreline management committee Newport

We’re not better off To the editor: Here in our wonderful country, the government recently hit $16 trillion in debt about six weeks ago, after reaching the $15 trillion mark last November. It took 200 years to accumulate the first trillion in debt and 286 days to accumulate the most recent trillion. The U.S. debt service is also rising. According to the Government Accountability Office’s figures, the U.S. government was spending 9 percent of revenue to service the debt in 2002. Throughout most of the last decade, in fact, the U.S. government spent roughly 9 percent of its tax revenue on debt service. In 2009, the figure hit 9.75 percent, then 10.5 percent in 2010, then 11.5 percent in 2011. For the fiscal year that just closed Sept.

30, the Bureau of Public Debt reported cumulative interest expense of $375.8 billion on income of $2.45 trillion. This is a rate of 15.3 percent. Do you see the trend neighbor? History shows us we typically see this type of transition occurring gradually, then very rapidly (like in the fall of the Soviet Union). We should remember what Earnest Hemingway said about moral bankruptcy – it happens slowly at first, then all at once. Could it be our country is now both morally and financially bankrupt? -Judson Lightsey Newport

2013 fiscally adjusted baby boomers may work To the editor: Us baby boomers face unexpected hurdles in continuing to pay working taxes through full social security retirement benefit plans. In 2006 and 2007, at age 59, a global economic recession looked inevitable. I worked a very difficult winter job once my summer seasonal work had ended. This increased both the amount of my future projected social security retirement benefit and the amount of my weekly unemployment benefits, once the work hours were no longer available. When the full global recession hit, both of my prior employers began to scale back on working hours to keep most key employees at least working. I was thus able to keep paying work related taxes on 25 percent reduced, year-to-date hours beyond early retirement age in 2009. In 2013, an extended global recession looks just as inevitable. There seems to be little interest in extending the 2011 and 2012 Social Security employee tax cuts ($1,000 annual average consumer spending). The too-big-to-fail financial institutions demanding that we do not dare depreciate the low interest rate stimulated, taxpayer subsidized, stock market as this starts us over the January 2, 2013, “fiscal cliff” of free market, uncharted waters. This time, additional work looks even more difficult and unavailable, unless government comes up with some national employment, housing, energy conservation program like the 1930’s, Civilian Conservation Corps. 2013 working class job tax mandates should dwarf debt interest, health care waste, educational class, 1 percent class and middle class issues. Working boomers may keep paying work related taxes on 50 percent reduced, year-to-date hours beyond full retirement age after 2012, to keep afloat. A 50 percent reduction in

We can’t afford full-time commissioners To the editor: No matter what happens in the Pend Oreille County commissioner races, the commission will have at least two new members in 2013. Perhaps all three seats will have new commissioners sitting in them. In any case this is a real opportunity to change the direction of the commission since it voted itself full time with a 73 percent increase in pay. A small county can’t afford fulltime commissioners and full time department heads like a director of information technology. So my hope is that the new commission will reconsider their full-time status and eliminate county departments that we don’t have the tax base to support. Each commissioner candidate stated that they would go through the budget and consider what could be cut, but candidates always say they will do that. Then when elected, they find that they don’t have anything they want to cut. When industry and business began the process improvement revolution many years ago, they looked at functions and process steps that could be eliminated. The high cost/low benefit items were the first eliminated. A process you would keep would be low cost with high benefit. I have been following economic development for 10 years and see we have spent millions on it and have seen low benefit from a government led economic development effort. Since many people don’t want the community to change by growing, it’s not clear why we kept spending money on economic development. The other factor to consider is the adoption of growth management regulations that either prevent or slow construction of homes and businesses. On one hand we are trying to promote development and on the other hand we are regulating to stop it. That policy can easily be corrected by the new county commission early next year. -Pete Scobby Newport

Concealed weapons class offered at Diamond Lake Fire Station DIAMOND LAKE – Learn about carrying a concealed weapon at an instruction class at the Diamond Lake Fire Station Saturday, Nov. 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The cost is $80 per person. Northwest Carry and Defend, a north-Idaho based company, will be hosting the class, which meets the requirement to apply for a resident permit, as well as a non-resident permit in Utah.

Utah’s concealed weapon’s permit allows the license holder to carry in 33 states. Washington has a formal written agreement with the state of Utah to recognize Utah’s permit. Idaho also recognizes the permit but does not have a formal agreement. Chris Rogers of Northwest Carry and Defend is a certified out of state instructor for the Utah permit. In Washington and Idaho,

carrying a weapon openly is legal, but carrying a weapon in a concealed place required a permit. Permits are good for five years. Many states, such as Idaho, require you to take a gun safety course, taught by an approved NRA instructor prior to applying. To sign up for the course, register at www.carryanddefend. com. The fire station is located at 325272 Highway 2.

Newsprint mill applying for wastewater permit renewal BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

USK – Every day, the Ponderay Newsprint mill discharges 3.5 million gallons of water into the Pend Oreille River upstream from Usk. The water, first drawn from the river, is used to transport wood pulp through the papermaking process and to cool equipment. It’s treated and tested, meeting state and federal standards, before it’s released into the river. The company is seeking to renew its five-year permit with the Washington State Department of Ecology – the National Pollutant Discharge

Elimination System permit. The city of Newport and the town of Ione have similar permits for discharging waste water into the river. Ponderay’s system is not unique, but it is modern. “It performs better than most,” says technical services manager Brad Bardwell, whose department is responsible for monitoring the system and reporting information. They measure for things such as solid content, temperature and pH. The wastewater system must remove the chemicals used in the pulp mill – sodium hydroxide, sulfer dioxide, borol, EDTA and chloride – some cleaning chemicals and dyes are used, and the paper

making process requires sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, silicate and fatty acid soap collector. The wastewater goes through a system of clarifiers, and the water is aerated. Dewatered sludge is burned onsite in a bed boiler. The treated water is discharged into the river through a 280-foot wide diffuser. The mill has a completely separate septic system for its sewage. Comments on the mill’s permit are being accepted on the draft permit through Nov. 30. They can be sent to Pat Hallinan, WQP-Department of Ecology, 4601 N. Monroe St., Spokane, WA 99205.

Spaghetti dinner raises funds for coat drive NEWPORT – Newport High School’s Associated Student Body is putting on its second annual Kids and Coats drive. Their goal is to raise about $1,500 to purchase coats, gloves, hats and snow pants for kids in Newport. A donation of $20 will purchase one coat, however all donation amounts are appreciated. The ASB is hoping to create a healthy competition between the school buildings to raise money, and the NHS student body is asking other agencies in the community to begin their own competitions. The tally began Monday, Oct. 29 and continues until noon Nov. 8. That’s the date the ASB will serve an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner from 4-7 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. The cost is $5 for adults 13 and up, $3 for kids ages 4-12,

and children 3 and under eat free. For more information, contact ASB advisor Rhonda Burnham at 509-447-2481 extension 3117, or email burnhamrhonda@newport. wednet.edu. If you are unable to

make the event, but would still like to donate you can send your donations to Newport High School, Attn: Kids and Coats Drive, P.O. Box 70, 1380 W. Fifth St., Newport, WA 99156.

of genuine moral rectitude. It’s as though you had a priest with extremely strong moral values who was suddenly charged with leading a war.” Plying the same theme, Obama aides told a New York Times reporter that the president is “a student of writings on war by Augustine and Thomas Aquinas.” If so, then the president knows that just war theory sets four conditions for the use of force, all of which must be met: • The damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave and certain. • All other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to

be impractical or ineffective. • There must be serious prospects of success. • The use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. Reports given by dozens of U.S. officials to journalists show that the president’s program of targeted killing doesn’t meet those standards – or try to. The further Obama steps outside those lines the more U.S. actions will be seen as murder – and fire a lust for vengeance. But drone killings are not only stoking anger; they’re setting precedent. Dozens of countries already have drones. Perhaps a dozen or so have

armed drones. If Russia, China, Iran, Syria, Pakistan and India begin using drones to cross borders and kill people who pose a “significant threat,” we’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that we started it. I guess that’s a form of leadership. The next president needs to lead in a new direction. Obama’s team has gone too far. Greater transparency is the only way to ensure that these decisions are made not out of fear or anger or aggressiveness – or for vengeance or political advantage – but out of a sense of justice encoded in law, with a wariness of the precedents and a keen sense of the cost of the rage enkindled with each killing.

One counterterrorism official acknowledged that the aims of the two brothers were “more local” but then defended the strike by saying, “Look at their associations and what that portends.” It sounds as if he’s saying, “They seem to be up to no good, so let’s kill them now just to be on the safe side.” Is this the policy of the United States? The administration is hoping to duck the scrutiny with a message of “Trust us.” Harold Koh, the State Department’s top lawyer, said of Brennan: “(He) is a person

Conservation district receives grant to improve water quality NEWPORT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Landowners in the Little Spokane River watershed can get some financial assistance with projects that will improve water quality. Funding is available through a state grant awarded to the Pend Oreille Conservation District (POCD). The Washington State Department of Ecology announced the grant award last week. The $213,747 comes from the Centennial Clean Water Program. Ecology identified a number of waterquality issues in its recent Little Spokane River Total Maximum Daily Load study. The biggest issue was the temperature, explained

Andy Huddleston, water recourses coordinator with POCD. The river lacks adequate plant coverage to shade the stream. Findings also showed that sections of the Little Spokane and its tributaries in Pend Oreille County exceed state standards for fecal coliform bacteria, turbidity, dissolved oxygen and pH. The grant can help with stream restoration work, from bank stabilization to planting native vegetation, to putting up fences to keep cattle out of the stream. The landowner must match their portion of the grant funding by 25 percent, but that match can include credit for use of their own

equipment and the time they put in to the project doing planting and other work. The funds must be used by the end of 2015. The conservation district plans to do some outreach with flyers and advertisements to let landowners know funds are available, and workshops will be put on in the spring. The project area extends out from the banks of the Little Spokane to include tributaries. Landowners in the Deer Valley, Diamond Lake and Sacheen Lake areas may be eligible. For more information, contact POCD at 509-447-5370 or email pocd.conservewa.net.

Weed list changes proposed OLYMPIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board is seeking comment about proposed changes to the state weed list. The board is considering adding four new species to the list, modifying the listing of a current Class C noxious weed, changing 11 Class B noxious weeds to Class C, simplifying the Class B designation regions, and simplifying Class B designations. The state noxious weed list is updated every year, and the State Weed Board encourages public participation for its Nov. 6 public hearing. The hearing will be held at the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) building in Yakima, but comments can also be mailed to WSNWCB, P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, WA 98504-2560 or noxiousweeds@agr.wa.gov before 5 p.m. Nov. 5. Proposals to add species to the noxious weed list include French

broom, which is growing on the University of Washington campus; tall hawkweed, which appears in King, Snohomish and Grays Harbor counties; common teasel, which is invading farmland in northwest Washington; and common barberry, a risk to wheat and barley growers. In an effort to reduce the size of county noxious weed lists and give county noxious weed control boards the ability to prioritize noxious weeds of local concern, the WSNWCB is proposing to change 11 Class B noxious weeds to Class C noxious weeds. This would mean that these species would not be designated for required control by the WSNWCB.The proposed species to be changed are: Austrian fieldcress, blackgrass, common catsear, polar hawkweed, lawnweed, lepyrodiclis, longspine sandbur, oxeye daisy, perennial sowthistle, Swainsonpea, and wild carrot. Control requirements of Class B noxious weeds designated by the state, and Class B non-designates and Class C noxious weeds selected for

control by county weed boards is identical, except on timberland. The WSNWCB is also proposing to simplify the noxious weed regions used to describe Class B designation areas by reducing it from 10 to six regions, using county boundaries. The board proposes updating the designations of the remaining 61 Class B noxious weeds to ensure that the Class B designations are as accurate as possible and easier to understand.

Newport netters one game short of state

Priest River finishes second in state

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

FREEMAN – Newport and Riverside have met three times this season. Each time it has come down to the final set. Newport won the first two contests but couldn’t make it three, losing to the Rams for the third Northeast A League seed to the state tournament Saturday, Oct. 27 at Freeman. The teams went back and forth, with Riverside winning the first game 25-22. Newport took the next game 25-13, Riverside answered with a 25-23 win, Newport came back with a 25-16 fourth set win but couldn’t win the final set, falling 15-11. Newport coach Kaprina Goodwin said her first season as a head coach was satisfying. “The season was good. I would have really liked to make it further, but it just wasn’t our night,” she said. Ari Newcomb led all players with 16 kills. She also had three blocks, as did Jenna Kersting. Newcomb also had a team-high 13 digs. Lauren Vaughn had 42 assists for Newport. Vaughn, a freshman, is one of the young players Goodwin says give the team a good future. “We have a young team, which makes me excited for the years to come, knowing that we will become even more competitive,” she said. Newport had to play two other

Vaughn had a match-high 21 assists, Kersting had seven digs. She also had a block, as did Elsie Cunningham. Newport served a number of

aces, with Newcomb, Stratton and Kersting each getting four aces. A couple hours after the Kettle Falls game, Newport had to play Lakeside, losing 25-20, 25-12 and 25-14. Newcomb and Kailey Ralston had six kills each for the Griz. Newcomb also had 11 digs. Stratton came through with two blocks and an ace and Vaughnn led Newport’s efforts with 17 as-

sists. Goodwin said she had a good group of upperclassmen. “I couldn’t have asked for a better senior class to start my coaching career with,” she said. “ I’m upset we couldn’t pull it off for them.” Newport ended the year with an overall record of 9-8. They were 8-4 in league play. Lakeside, Freeman and Riverside will move on to regionals.

Spartans end season against Payette BY MICHELLE NEDVED OF THE MINER

MOSCOW – The Priest River football team lost its first game of the Idaho 3A playoffs, falling to Payette 54-32 Saturday in the Kibbie Dome in Moscow. Payette will go on to play Fruitland Saturday, Nov. 3. Fruitland beat Kellogg Saturday. The other Intermountain League team in post-season play, Timberlake, will take on Weiser Nov. 3 after beating Parma this past weekend. Payette jumped out to an early lead, recovering two onside kicks early and returning a kickoff for a touchdown to put Priest River down 14-0 six minutes into the game. Priest River scored on their first drive on a 16-yard pass from Cameron Riley to RC Akre. Payette scored again and from that point, the game went back and forth. Priest River did have a big scoring second quarter. Riley connected with Dallas Hopkins for 30-yard touchdown in the air. Riley then passed to Akre twice, one a 32-passing touchdown and the other a 20-yard play. Payette led 33-26 at the half. Priest River struck first in the second half when they recovered

the kickoff and went on to score on a two-yard carry, taking the score to 34-32. Priest River had some untimely penalties that stopped three of their drives in a row. The final score was Payette winning 54-32. “With a lot of our guys playing both ways and such a high scoring game, I think we simply ran out of gas,” Spartan coach Shane Douglas said. “The boys absolutely gave it everything they had. Payette had some big boys that could really play.” Riley had his best passing night, throwing for 337 yards and three TD passes. He had 15 carries for 120 yards and completed 25 of 53 for 337 yards in the air. Barber had four carries for no yards and caught seven passes for 67 yards. Akre had 11 receptions for 177 yards and Hopkins had six receptions for 90 yards. Andy Meyer had one catch for three yards. On defense, Akre had nine tackles, Thomas White and Joey Day had seven and Riley and Tanner Linton each had six.

Cross country season ends at regionals BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

WENATCHEE – Newport’s cross country season ended without a trip to state this year. It was a tough field with some top-notch runners, and none of the Newport boys and girls made the qualifying mark at regionals Friday, Oct. 26. Northeast A and Caribou Trail league teams tried for the top 15 to qualify individually. The top three teams made it to state too. Reining state champions, Lakeside dominated the boys’ field and won the team title. Medical Lake was second, and Cashmere was third. Riverside qualified one runner to state. Lakeside’s Ryan Coffman won the meet in 16 minutes, 24 seconds. The Lakeside girls are also defending state champions, and they took the girls’ team title Friday. Riverside was second and Medical Lake third. Freeman qualified one girl to state. Eagle sophomore Lindy Jacobson won in 19:14. Running at Walla Walla Point Park in Wenatchee, both the Newport boys and girls ran well and had several personal bests. Senior Scott McMeen finished 19th in a time of 17:36, and senior Chris Nichols was 39th in 18:31. Also running for Newport, it was sophomore Zane Davis finishing at 77th, sophomore Jordan McGhee 78th, sophomore Keegan Heaney 82nd, sophomore Ben Jakeman 86th, senior DJ Moreland 89th, junior Cody Fisher 90th, freshman Fynn Peck 91st, junior Chris Stroup 92nd, and Sean Moore 93rd. In the girls’ race, sophomore Jackie Morrell was the top runner for Newport, finishing 51st, senior Arielle Walden was 58th, junior Caroline Sperling 69th, junior Mishal Maqbool 70th, senior Jessica Emery 71st, sophomore Erin Rednour 76th, and junior Faii Sricharoenrat 78th. “I feel that the season was a total success because of the size of both teams and the way that they learned how to race and compete and grew together as a unit,” Rory Axel said after his first year coaching the team. “I am proud of each and every runner this season.” McMeen and Nichols were the veterans of the team, but the rest of the runners were new to cross country. Axel said they now have a great core to build around for the future. He thanked his “foreign legion” of exchange students for coming out to try the sport.

KETTLE FALLS – The Newport football team won their last game of the regular season Friday night, taking down Kettle Falls 27-16 on the road. The Grizzlies play a Caribou League crossover game Friday, Nov. 2, against Chelan at 7 p.m. at home, ending the football season. The game opened with a sack of O N D EC K: the Kettle Falls quarterback, caus- VS. CHELAN ing a fumble on their first offensive FRIDAY, Nov. 2, play. Newport’s Braden Barranco 7 p.m. picked up the fumble and returned it 12 yards for a TD. Newport followed that up with a 97-yard kickoff return by Barranco to lead 12-0. Kettle Falls scored on a 55-yard interception return, one of two interceptions for Newport’s Ryan Rapp. Newport scored on a 13-yard pass from Rapp to Chris Burgess for a score. The second half was a bit stagnant for Newport, coach Zac Farnam said. Newport scored on a 97-yard pass from Rapp to Jeron Konkright, their only score of the second half. Kettle Falls scored in the fourth, but it wasn’t enough to catch up. Barranco suffered a shoulder injury, Farnam said. It was unknown Monday if it was a separated shoulder or dislocation, but he most likely won’t be playing for Newport against Chelan Friday. Barranco’s injury coupled with a standout Chelan player will make things difficult for Newport. Farnam said while Chelan is a fifth seed team from the Caribou League, a player has returned for the end of the season after disciplinary action. Farnam said the last two weeks, Chelan has scored 134 points while only giving up 13. “(They’re) very, very, very good,” Farnam said. Friday’s game, however, will be a good chance for younger, less experienced players to get in playing time, as the game has not affect on post-season play. Against Kettle Falls, Rapp was seven for 14 passing for 146 yards and two TDs. Barranco had 14 carries for 184 yards and one TD and Tristen Cutshall had 10 carries for 74 yards. Nolen Fisher had four carries for four yards, Carter Schutz had four carries for 11 yards and Rapp had 11 carries for negative 15 yards. Konkright had three receptions for 101 yards and one TD. Coltin Worley had one for 30, Chris Burgess had one for 12 and Barranco had two for six yards. On defense, Worley and Rapp each had an interception. Cutshall had six tackles and Jordan Battle and Cody Phillips each had five tackles. In other Northeast A League play, Chewelah, Freeman, Lakeside and Medical Lake play this weekend for births to the state tournament. Chewelah hosts Okanogan and Freeman hosts Quincy Friday at 7 p.m. Lakeside travels to Cashmere and Medical Lake travels to Cascade, also Friday at 7 p.m.

He’s pleased to see the junior high boys team excited about the sport. “Our girls team should stay fairly strong even though we are losing three talented and great girls,” Clark said. He looks forward to a good off-season full of training.

They are helping make a great lifetime sport into something big in Priest River,” Clark added.

Newport soccer handles Freeman BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

FREEMAN – The Newport girls soccer team advance in post season play with a dominating defeat of the Northeast A League’s No. 2 team, Freeman. Sitting at No. 3 after one loss and one win to Freeman earlier this season, Newport shut down the Scotties 7-0 in Freeman Thursday, Oct. 25. It was the first round of the District 7 tournament, and it put Freeman out for the season. “The previous two games with Freeman were both close and could have gone either way,” coach Jeremy Lewis said. “This was a loser out game and our girls came out focused and ready.” Newport went on to face undefeated Lakeside, the Northeast A League’s top-ranked team, in a match for the district championship Tuesday, Oct. 30 at Gonzaga Prep in Spokane.

FOR THE RECORD

Leora “Lu” Marvin Johns Coolin

Leora “Lu” Marvin Johns of Coolin passed away Oct. 24 after celebrating her 88th birthday one week prior. Mrs. Johns was born Oct. 17, 1924, Johns in Providence, R.I., to Frank and Rosiland Marvin. She had three younger brothers: Frank, John and Bradford. She spent most of her childhood years in and around Boston and Marblehead Neck, Mass. She left her life there to marry a handsome young sailor, Robert “Bob” Johns, on Aug. 16, 1946. They were married for more than 66 years, beginning their married life in College Station, Texas, where he finished college at Texas A&M after the war. After starting his career with Phillips Petroleum in Texas, Bob and Lu were transferred to Idaho Falls in 1951. While on vacation in 1953, a wrong turn led them to Priest Lake, which they loved immediately and vowed to retire here. That dream came true, and they lived there since 1981. Mrs. Johns made a difference wherever she went, and the Priest Lake area is no exception, family said. She volunteered in many civic organizations around the lake. She was secretary of the Priest Lake Chamber of Commerce for eight years. She assisted at the Priest Lake sled dog races for 22 years, officiated at the Priest Lake fishing derby for 20-plus years, participated in the Northwoods Performing Arts for 10 years, and served on the Coolin election board for more than 15 years. She also taught literally hundreds of children to swim in Priest Lake over a 25-year period, a vocation she had already been doing for 25 years before arriving at the lake. Mrs. Johns also volunteered at the Priest Lake Elementary school. “Grandma Lu” and “Grandpa Bob” listened to third and fourth graders read on a regular basis for eight years. She was also an active member of the local bridge club and taught the water aerobics class at the Inn at Priest Lake. She loved life and it showed, family said. She will be missed by all of them. She was “Mom” to Bob Johns Jr., David and Judy and she

was considered a second mom to Mary Beth and Kevin; their spouses. She was “Nana” to 13 beloved grandchildren, their spouses and her 13 great-grandchildren. She was “Aunt Lu” to numerous nieces and nephews and was “dear friend” to many more people. A service celebrating her life will be held Nov. 17 at 1 p.m. at the Coolin Civic Center. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made in her honor to the Priest Lake Elementary PTO, 27732 Highway 57, Priest Lake, ID 83856. Stipulate your donation to go to the Lu Johns fund for the school. These funds will go directly to the library at the school. She loved serving the children and reading with them each week. Sherman-Knapp Funeral Home in Newport is in charge of arrangements. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www. sherman-knapp.com.

Barry Edmond Dunn Priest River

Barry Edmond Dunn passed away Friday, Oct. 26 at his home in Priest River, after a battle with cancer. He was 70. Mr. Dunn was Dunn born Sept. 25, 1942.

He is survived by his wife Linda Dunn, brother Jeff Dunn and his wife Janice Dunn of Hershey, Pa., two sons, Christopher Dunn and his wife Gina Dunn of Camarillo, Calif., Shawn Glazier and his wife Elizabeth of Priest River, and one daughter, Donna Dunn of Seattle, brother-in-law John Vodanovich of Hollister, Calif., and 10 grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews. Mr. Dunn was preceded in death by his parents Francis “Frank” and Thelma Dunn, and sister Laurel Vodanovich. A memorial service will be held Saturday, Nov. 3 at 11 a.m. at the Sherman-Knapp Funeral Home in Priest River. Sherman-Knapp Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

METALINE FALLS – The Selkirk School Board is looking for another director to replace Brenda Miller, who resigned effective Oct. 18. Miller had served on the school board since being appointed in March 2005. She sited personal reasons in her decision to step down. “I need to focus my energy in other areas and would not be able to devote the necessary time to being the hands-on director that the voters deserve,” she said in a statement to The Miner. She indicated that life was getting busier as she geared up to finish her degree while also working full time at the Pend Oreille Public Utility District

and keeping up with her teenaged children. Superintendent Nancy Lotze said her thoughtful input will be missed. She said Miller “has taken her role seriously, always preparing for meetings, asking great questions, and offering input from the point-of-view as a Selkirk alumni, parent, and a concerned community member.” During her time on the board she has been a representative with the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association and a legislative liaison. She attended the Washington State School Directors’ Association conference every other year when it was held in Spokane and brought back insightful information to share with the rest of the board, Lotze said.

“Brenda was an active board member, contributing to board goals, superintendent goals, and fiscal oversight. We will miss her contributions,” she added. Miller said that the Selkirk administrators has been great to work with and they have taught her a large amount about finance, curriculum, personnel, teamwork and community outreach, which she has been able to apply in other areas of her life as well. “I appreciate the seven years I spent as a member of their team and want to thank them for their friendship,” Miller said. “I look forward to continued involvement with the school, the community, and certainly my new friends.” The board currently includes chairwoman Katie Parker and Jane

Emrick, whose terms run through 2013, and Clinton Petrich and Scott Jungblom, who will serve through 2015. They meet the third Monday of each month at 6 p.m. at the high school music room. Applications are being accepted for a new director for District 3, which encompasses primarily the city limits of Ione and some of the Chippewah area. Those interested may get an application from the district office, P.O. Box 129, Metaline Falls, WA 99153, by calling 509-446-2951, or at the district’s website selkirk.k12.wa.us. The deadline for submitting applications is Nov. 26 at 11 a.m. The board of directors will appoint an applicant to fill the position until the next general election in November 2013.

Cutter Theatre director steps down to cut costs BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

METALINE FALLS – Susan Hobbs, who served at the Cutter Theatre’s executive director for nearly two years, stepped down, effective Oct. 22. Taking her place are volunteers Kim DiRienz and Tara Leininger. Hobbs’s voluntary leave is an effort to save money for the non-profit theater. “As the Cutter events schedule has slowed with the end-of-summer, I’ve suggested to the board that I take a leave of absence over the winter, and that they use mini-

mal office staff and Cutter volunteers to their advantage this season. This will allow the Cutter to end 2012 in better financial health,” Hobbs explained in an email to The Miner. Hobbs said the Cutter started the year with a projected shortfall of $22,000. “By stepping aside and volunteering on the home stretch, we believe it demonstrates exceptional financial practices,” she said. “And in this economy, to make ends meet speaks volumes about a community’s support.” Hobbs said she will continue to be the Cutter’s website host.

Selkirk seeks school board director

Cutter presents variety show METALINE FALLS – The Cutter Players will present an entertaining comedy variety show as a fundraiser Saturday, Nov. 10 at the Cutter Theatre. Dinner will be served before hand at 6 p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m. The show features comedy, skits and music performed by many local favorite actors and singers. After the show, all attendees will be treated to a piece of birthday cake (baked by Tori Reeve) to celebrate the Cutter Theatre build-

county that’s a largely retired community. A lot of them don’t have jobs,” Groom said, making it difficult to collect on bills. According to IRS reports documenting IRS liens against the properties that still appear on the IRS website, the Grooms owe $829,966 in back taxes, late fees and interest. Groom said Tuesday that the bankruptcy court removed a lot of that. He is unsure of the final number and said he hasn’t received consistent amounts from the IRS. Groom said he did have the option to refinance the building in Newport to pay off the IRS, but the building is in such disrepair it would have been too expensive. Newport Ambulance became a non-profit organization recently

and moved to the storefront next to Ben Franklin earlier this month. Groom said then that the move made sense as his agency collects taxpayer money from the ambulance district in Bonner County. Newport Ambulance responds to EMS calls in Bonner, Pend Oreille and northern Spokane counties. Calls and an email to the IRS were not returned. The properties are scheduled to be auctioned off Thursday, Nov. 8, at 1 p.m. at the Pend Oreille County Courthouse, 321 S. Garden Ave., Newport. The minimum bid on the property with the house on Spokane Avenue is $9,530. The lot across from the post office is going for at least $17,869 and the storefront on Washington is set at $37,510.

has also recently co-written a grant for the building’s lower level, and is working on an advertisement for a hiking guide for 2013. She provided DiRienz with a detailed to-do list. Having retired from the U.S. Forest Service this summer, DiRienz is quite capable, Hobbs said. “The Cutter won’t skip a beat in my absence,” she said. She asks that the public be patient with slighter staffing. “The board and I assure you, the show will go on,” she said. Upcoming events include a variety show and dinner scheduled for Nov. 10. The annual Deck the Falls celebration is planned for Dec. 1, the Missoula Children’s Theater will visit for a performance in early February, and the spring play is yet to be determined. Hobbs hopes that a good attendance will allow the Cutter to end

the year more financially sound. Hobbs took over the executive director position from Jennifer Snead, who had served for about a year. In the past, directors have worked 32 hours per week, overseeing the theater’s finances, payroll, and building maintenance. The director also works with the program committee to find artists to perform at the Cutter and helps with advertising for different events.

Bonner commissioners force through Pacific Legal Foundation payment BY MICHELLE NEDVED OF THE MINER

SANDPOINT – Two of the three Bonner County commissioners voted to force a payment of $10,000 to the Pacific Legal Foundation earlier this month. The funding came from a grant from the People Helping People Foundation, raised by an annual auction at Priest Lake each summer. The Pacific Legal Foundation is the firm the county hired to file a petition with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove caribou from the federal endangered species list. The county applied for and was

awarded the grant from the People Helping People Foundation but the payment was never made. Commissioner Mike Nielsen said he’s not sure why county clerk Marie Scott didn’t make the payment and he has not received an answer from her as to why. “The clerk has not responded to my email, so I do not know why she retained the money, which was deposited and drawing interest for the county,” Nielsen said. Scott did not return a phone call from The Miner. Nielsen and commissioner Cornel Rasor voted in favor of forcing the payment through, while commissioner Lewis Rich abstained. Rich told The Miner as

he understands it, no billing was received from the PLF. “I believe a billing of some kind should have been sent asking for the funds from Bonner County,” he wrote in an email. “Without a proper request from Pacific Legal Foundation via billing Bonner County, it would have been improper for Bonner County to pay the bill in question, according to GASB (Governmental Accounting Standards Board) accounting standards, without property invoicing.” Daniel Heinbaw, an attorney with PLF, said the delayed payment had zero affect on the litigation. He was unsure if the foundation had billed the county yet.

Hearing for Inn at the Lake Nov. 7 NEWPORT – A Spokane County hearing examiner will hear the dispute between Pend Oreille County and the owners of the Inn at the Lake Wednesday, Nov. 7 at 9:30 a.m. at the county commissioners’ meeting room. According to community development director Mike Lithgow, the county will inspect the Inn Friday, Nov. 2. Prior to the Nov. 7 hearing,

the hearings examiner will also do a walk through of the inn. The county contends that former 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.

Silver family donates two kidneys ‘We felt a spiritual satisfaction’

Many need kidney transplants

By Don Gronning Of The Miner

NEWPORT – It’s unusual to find one person willing to give up a kidney for another. But Newport is home to two people – Tom and Robin Silver – who each donated kidneys. Despite a painful recovery period, neither regret the move and both wish more people would donate kidneys. “It came down to do I care about people or not,” Tom said. “The only way to make the world better is to do things in our own world that makes things better.” “It was the right thing to do,” Robin says. “It was an incredibly positive experience for the whole family.” Robin donated a kidney to Blaine Bauer, a former Newport High School math teacher who had been undergoing dialysis. Bauer’s brother was initially going to donate a kidney, but it wasn’t functioning right, so he wasn’t able to donate. When Robin found out, she called Bauer and told him she would donate her kidney. After nine months of extensive tests, including psychological testing, she was approved to be a donor. She had the operation June 2, 2007. The operation went well, but live kidney transplants are far harder on the donor than the recipient. “Recovery is wicked,” Robin said. “The first three weeks were really tough.” After six weeks, she was ready

SPOKANE – There are 96,000 people in Washington state in need of a kidney, says Lynn Seehorn, transplant director at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center. “The need is more now than in the past,” she says. That’s partially because there are fewer deceased donors because there are fewer head injuries from auto wrecks because of improvements in auto safety. Even if people don’t want to donate organs while they are alive, Seehorn urges people to give permission for their organs to be used once they’re dead. “They can help,” she says. Tissue, eyes, skin, bone, hearts, lungs and livers are among the things that can be transplanted. to return to her job at Super 1 Foods in Sandpoint. “I definitely wasn’t 100 percent,” she said. Still, she has no regrets about giving a kidney to Bauer. “If anyone deserved a second chance, it was him,” she said. In addition to teaching school for many years, he was active in his church, and he and his wife took in foster children, she said. Bauer died in September of complications from throat cancer. She went to his funeral and family members expressed appreciation for her sacrifice. Tom watched his wife go through the process. “It was hard at first for me to watch her in pain,” he said. But the pain eased and he saw how much difference donating a kidney meant to both the recipient and donor. When Robin’s cousin needed a kidney, he signed up. The cousin ended up getting

another kidney. Tom still wanted to donate, however, so he signed up to be an ‘altruistic donor.’ An altruistic donor doesn’t know the recipient. It is rare, says Lynn Seehorn, transplant director at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center, where the transplant took place. “We’ve been doing transplants since 1981 and we’ve only had nine altruistic donors,” she said. There have been more than 1,200 kidney transplants at Providence Sacred Heart – about See Donors,8B Miner photo|Don Gronning

Robin Silver donated a kidney to Newport teacher Blaine Bauer. The Bauers gave her the painting called Heavenly Hands by Greg Olsen. She is pictured with the painting and a certificate of appreciation. She was the 936th person to take part in a kidney transplant at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane.

Tom Silver is one of the few people who have donated a kidney to a complete stranger. He said he would do it again. “To me it’s a miracle of modern day science,” he said.

FAMILY FEATURES

outine can be a good thing. Regular bedtimes and nightly family meals help foster healthier kids who are better prepared to tackle challenges. But some of your family’s

routine habits may be getting in the way of something better. Habits get established for any number of reasons — busy schedules, convenience, or not realizing you have other choices. Shortcuts and timesavers can give you more time to spend together, but they could also be shortchanging your experience.

How to Change a Habit

Breaking habits can be tough, but luckily there are many ways to reach your goals. Here are some simple questions and tips to help you break any bad family habits, and establish new, better ones.

What’s the habit? Get everyone together and talk about what family habit you would like to change. Is it unhealthy eating? Too much TV? Always running late? Start small and keep it simple. If everyone is involved in the conversation, you’re more likely to get everyone’s buy-in and meet with success.

What’s the reward? People stick to habits because something rewards that behavior. The reward makes it easier for the brain to put the behavior on autopilot, and before you know it, you have a habit. But the reward may not be that obvious. You may have to try out different rewards to discover what the true payoff for the bad habit really is. For example, you might discover that the real reward of watching TV after dinner is spending time together as a family.

What’s the plan? Once you identify the habit and understand its reward, you can come up with a family plan to start a new habit with new — and better — rewards for everyone.

Here are some common family habits that could use a little revamping — and some easy ways you can make a positive change.

TV Habits After a long day, the couch seems to be calling you to just sit and watch TV — even though you know you could or should be doing other things. But you don’t have to be stuck in a TV rut. Talk about it as a family and see if you can figure out what your reward is for watching TV. Is it time together? Is it relaxation? Or is it enjoying a good story? Once you identify the reward, look for some other ways to get it.

Togetherness If it’s about being together, brainstorm some other family activities. Think about family game night, backyard soccer, arts and crafts projects, or time at the neighborhood park.

Relaxation

Eating Habits

If it’s just about chilling out, try substituting other relaxing activities like listening to music, or even just talking.

Full schedules often lead to fast food dinners or junk foods for snacks. While a quick meal when you’re busy may seem like a reward, it really adds up to spending extra money and adding extra calories. These ideas still get you food quickly, but with a much healthier payoff.

NEWPORT/PRIEST RIVER/SPOKANE SHUTTLE

Story time

If you all enjoy the story element of your favorite TV shows, how about looking for new stories? Set aside some individual reading time, or let everyone take turns reading aloud from their favorite book. Reading a whole story as a family is a fun activity — and younger kids may enjoy acting out their favorite scenes.

Families need to get information about pet grooming deals, kid-friendly restaurants, or vacation tips and deals. With a time crunch — and the force of old habits — it’s easy to rely on the same source for answers. But using the same search engine out of habit could be letting you down. For example, when it comes to search, people chose Bing web search results over Google nearly 2 to 1 in blind comparison tests.* In addition to useful results, Bing also offers access to your social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Quora and more, letting you exchange ideas and discover what your friends are searching — to help you spend less time hunting and more time doing. You can test if changing your habit is right for you with the Bing It On Challenge at www.bing.com.

A.M.

Keep healthy options handy. Apples are the perfect fast food — just pop one in your bag or stash one in the cup holder in your car. Pre-measure individual servings of trail mix or nuts and keep them in snack sized containers so you can just grab one and go.

If you do have to grab a fast food meal, try to make smarter choices. Go for grilled chicken instead of breaded and fried, salad instead of a burger, and apple slices instead of fries.

Remember, while some habits and routines can be helpful, it’s a good idea to re-examine them now and then to see if, with a few small changes, your family could be better off.

Holly’s Story Holly Romans was diagnosed with gestational diabetes when she was pregnant with her first child. After the baby was born, a blood test showed Holly’s blood glucose was back to normal, so she didn’t think any more about it. But later a follow-up test showed she was at risk for developing diabetes. She shared her history of gestational diabetes with her daughter’s doctor and a note was made in her daughter’s health record. Holly also made sure a note was made in her own health record as well. Holly joined a diabetes prevention program at a local hospital and learned how to have a healthy lifestyle for herself and her family. She lost weight by making small changes in her daily routine, such as replacing her chocolate snack-cake stash with fresh fruit, preparing more salads, eating smaller portions, and taking daily walks. In just a few months, Holly’s glucose numbers had returned to a normal level. And thanks to her lifestyle changes, she did not develop gestational diabetes when she became pregnant with her second child. Today, Holly knows she needs to continue her healthy lifestyle habits and get tested for diabetes at least every three years. Holly continues to work to keep her weight down by doing aerobics and walking with her two kids. She makes sure she and her family maintain a healthy lifestyle by staying physically active and making healthy food choices.

Get Tested! Women who develop gestational diabetes have high blood glucose (blood sugar) levels during pregnancy. Immediately after pregnancy, 5 to 10 percent of women with gestational diabetes are found to have diabetes, usually type 2. All women with gestational diabetes should be tested for diabetes 6 to 12 weeks after their baby is born. In many cases, their blood glucose levels show they are no longer considered to have diabetes at this time. But what many people don’t realize is that having gestational diabetes increases a woman’s future chances of developing diabetes by 35 to 60 percent. Any woman who had gestational diabetes should get tested for diabetes and pre-diabetes at least every three years. This follow up testing is very important and usually consists of a simple blood test. Women with a history of gestational diabetes should also talk to their health care provider about earlier screening for gestational diabetes in future pregnancies. Children born from a mother who had gestational diabetes are at increased risk for obesity and diabetes, so it’s a good idea for mothers to let their child’s doctor know that they had gestational diabetes and take steps to promote healthy habits for their child.

DONORS | From Page 1

50-60 a year, she says. About half the transplanted kidneys come from cadavers and half from live donors. In the early days of the program, live donors pretty much had to be related to the recipient because anti rejection drugs weren’t as good as they are now. Since about 2000 the anti rejection drugs have improved. But it is still rare to donate to a stranger. Robin says she didn’t think Tom would have volunteered if he hadn’t seen her go through the process and how rewarding it was for the family. But once he did, he wanted to give. “I wish more people would do it,” he says. The man who received Silver’s kidney, Rick Anhorn, had been on dialysis for 40 months. Getting a new kidney made a real difference in his life. “It changed my life and it changed me,” he said of the transplant. He said he didn’t realize

how sick he was until he got the new kidney. Dialysis does only about 5 percent of what a functioning kidney does, he says. Tom’s recovery wasn’t quite as smooth as Robin’s. Anhorn was discharged from the hospital before Tom was. “I was out 46 hours after they sewed me up,” Anhorn said. The operation was on a Tuesday and Rick got out on Thursday, Tom says. “I got pneumonia and didn’t get out until Monday.” Altruistic donors and recipients don’t know each other and aren’t told anything about each other before the operation. Even afterwards, both have to agree to meet before it can happen. Both Silver and Anhorn wanted to meet. They talked on the phone and first met at Providence Sacred Heart in September. “It was really amazing,” Seehorn, the transplant director, said. It turns out Silver and Anhorn have a remarkable number of things in common.

“They told me that not staying hydrated was not an option anymore,” Robin says. She says at first, she forgot. “I got a blinding, slamming headache,” she says. “I can’t believe how much it hurt.”

Now both she and Tom make sure they drink enough water. Both would do it again in a minute. “If you can make a little difference in the world, why not,” Tom says. “That’s why we we’re here.”

up, I’m still here and I still have advice! This time it’s winter prep...and avoiding the pitfalls of the ice and snow...as much as possible! Long before the snow falls and it looks like winter, ice becomes the invisible hazard that can cause seriousamage if you aren’t prepared. Make sure you have slip-resistant tread on steps, hand rails, proper boots, and for Pete’s sake, don’t wear your slippers for that quick trip outside to grab the paper or the cat! Thirty seconds of forethought can prevent a serious sprain or broken arm...or worse. ...and when the snow does start to accumulate don’t charge out there with your shovel and spend 5 hours without a break. Can you say ‘heart attack’?! At the very least, you’ll be in my office twice a week over Christmas break instead scooting down the ski slopes with your family and friends. Now is a great time to start a stretch routine or even yoga. Loosen the muscles and warm the ligaments before shoveling or skiing or doing your favorite winter activity. Fifteen minutes of simple, basic, and focused exercise everyday can make a big difference in how you enjoy this winter!! Happy Winter from Bliss Chiropractic Health Center Dr. Bonnie Bliss Dr. Chris Thomas ...and assorted staff!

Washington wolf recovery still on track, wildlife managers tell commission OLYMPIA – Gray wolves are quickly reestablishing themselves in Washington state, despite the elimination of seven members of one pack that systematically preyed on a rancher’s cattle in northeast Washington, state wildlife managers told the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission at a public meeting Oct. 5. Speaking to a room packed with ranchers and wolf advocates, wildlife managers from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife outlined wolves’ recovery since 2007 and the department’s decision to remove the so-called Wedge pack in Stevens County late last month. “No one wants to see a repeat of the situation that led to our action against the Wedge pack,” said Dave Ware, WDFW game manager. “But the fact remains that wolves are recovering more quickly than expected, and we have to anticipate there will be some conflicts along the way.” The remains of a yearold cow were found on Rocky Creek, 20 miles northeast of Colville Oct. 5, indicating that wolf problems in Stevens County will not be exclusive to the Wedge area. The latest dead cow, commonly called a “yearling” due to its age, was part of the all-natural beef herd raised by Olsen Farms and sold at farmer’s markets throughout the state, as well as at Pike Street Market in Seattle. According to reports from the Stevens County Sheriff’s Department, the cow had been dead for several days and pieces of the carcass had been ripped off and dragged 10 to 20 yards from the kill site. WDFW agents responded to the kill, but would not confirm if it was a wolf kill at the scene, per their department protocol. However, wolf tracks and scat were both found at the location. The Stevens County Cattlemen’s Association suspects this kill was caused by the Smackout pack that was confirmed in the nearby area. SCCA is advocating that the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission immediately delist the gray wolf as an endangered species in Washington state so more adequate management can take place. If the gray wolf is delisted, it can be managed as a predator like cougars, bears and coyotes. WDFW Director Phil Anderson described how members of the Wedge pack – one of eight confirmed packs in the state – killed or injured 16 cows from the Diamond M ranch near the Canadian border from mid-July through late September. The department took lethal action only after a series of non-lethal measures employed by the rancher and state wildlife biologists failed to “break the cycle of predation,” he said. “Killing wolves is definitely not our preferred option, but in this case we saw it as a last resort to address a bad situation,” Anderson said.
