Murder victim a family man, missed by many Road rage allegedly led to murder of William ‘Bo’ Kirk

By Michelle Nedved Of The Miner

NEWPORT – “Bo’s just always silly. Huge heart. Family man.

He coached and went to all the games,” said Sharon Weber, William “Bo” Kirk’s mother-inlaw. Weber’s daughter Amanda married Bo more than 21 years

ago. “I didn’t realize how much he was the life of the party,” Weber said, choking back tears. Bo’s body was found Tuesday,

Oct. 25, shot to death near the Hayden Creek area of the Coeur d’Alene National Forest, after he went missing Saturday, Oct. 22. Since then, two men have

been taken into custody for his murder. David Hutto, 44, was booked into the Kootenai See Kirk, 2A

Fire districts ask voters for emergency medical tax

Levy lid lifts would allow for increased levy rates By Michelle Nedved Of The Miner

CUSICK – Voters in the town of Cusick and Pend Oreille Fire District Nos. 2, 4 and 5 are being asked to approve a handful of measures on the Nov. 8 ballot. Cusick voters will decide on a levy lid lift for fire and emergency medical services, and a proposal to annex the town of Cusick into Pend Oreille Fire District No. 4. If approved, the first proposition would fund fire See Fire, 2A

Community development looking for new director By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner

NEWPORT – The search for a new Pend Oreille County Community Development Director hasn’t officially begun yet, but commissioners aim to change that by advertising the position next week, according to Pend Oreille County Commissioner Mike Manus. Manus cited the Washington State Supreme Court case, Whatcom County vs. Hirst, that

pertains to legal water availability and how counties manage it, as sidelining other issues the county is facing, particularly finding Lithgow’s replacement. “Hopefully we’ll get it done (advertising the position) next week,” Manus said. “We haven’t had anyone show interest in the position yet that I know of.” Mike Lithgow, who was the Pend Oreille See Development, 2A

Plenty on Washington ballots

By Don Gronning Of The Miner

NEWPORT – The seemingly never ending election campaign will soon be over, with Washington voters turning in the last of their ballots Tuesday, Nov. 8, wrapping up one of the most contentious presidential races in memory. So far there has been about a 35 percent return of ballots, Pend Oreille County Auditor Marianne Nichols said. Of the 8,080 ballots that were sent out, 3,078 have been returned. The race for the District 5 seat in the U.S. House of Representatives between GOP incumbent Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Democrat Joe Pakootas is watched locally. Pakootas lost to McMorris Rodgers when the two faced off in 2014. We asked both candidates what they thought was the most import issue facing Pend Oreille County.

“I believe the most important issue for our small communities is the ability to create and sustain diverse economic development,” Pakootas wrote. “Rural towns have a tough time surviving the increased budget cuts being handed down from state and federal governments. These cuts mean crumbling infrastructure, schools, roads, bridges and transportation systems cannot be fixed or maintained, which is a devastating blow to their already faltering economies.” Pakootas says he would help provide resources, including financial subsidies, to help the Port of Pend Oreille to revitalize its rail services; expand affordable highspeed internet service; address the needs for ambulance services and restore rural healthcare services to Veterans. Pakootas says he would work to require companies to pay taxes on profits they earn and keep overseas. He says he would

support restructuring regulations that prohibit manufacturing companies from making a decent profit, stop the privatization of federal government services and utilize the post offices as a liaison between the VA, IRS and U.S. Forest Service to facilitate quicker responses. McMorris Rogers did not provide an answer. McMorris Rodgers was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2004. On her campaign website, she lists some of her accomplishments, which include her work on the Regulation from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, which would require any regulation with $100 million in economic impact to obtain Congressional approval; the Regulatory Accountability Act that requires federal agencies to consider the economic impact of new regulations and implement See Ballots, 2A

Kirk: Second suspect arrested by FBI still unidentified From Page 1A

County Jail for second degree murder. A second individual, whose identity has not been released, is being held on federal charges. According to Spokane media outlets, prosecutors allege the murder was random, Kirk an act of road rage. They allege that something Kirk did while driving home Saturday, Oct. 22, angered the perpetrators, who followed and kidnapped Kirk, ultimately tying him shooting him with a handgun. They tried to cover up the crime by lighting Kirk’s truck on fire. Bo Kirk grew up in the Priest River area, graduating from Priest River Lamanna High School in 1993. He and Amanda were high school sweethearts. They have three children, and a grandchild on the way in January.

“They’ve just been tight forever,” Weber said. “Bo didn’t have to have a single regret in his relationships with Amanda and the kids. He was the best husband and father I have ever had the pleasure to know,” Weber said. “He and I joked all the time. I’d say ‘you can’t talk to me like that, I’m your mother-in-law.’ He’d say ‘I love you Grammy.’” Weber said Bo was truly loved by everybody. While living in Pend Oreille County, Bo worked at Ponderay Valley Fibre in Usk, until attending radiology school about six years ago. He worked at Newport Hospital and Health Services and then two years ago the family moved to Post Falls when Kirk got a job at Northwest Specialty Hospital in Post Falls. Amanda transferred from the Newport Spokane Teachers Credit Union to the branch in Coeur d’Alene and is manager there. Kirk still worked at Newport Hospital

regularly. He would work seven-day stretches in Post Falls, and then fill in at Newport. Radiology Manager Leif Furman just told Weber a couple weeks ago, “Man, we love it when Bo’s here.” Kirk made an impression on people. His wife received a phone call this week from his instructor in Longview from five years ago. He told her how much he enjoyed Kirk in his class. Kirk was a Seahawks fan and loved to golf and travel. He and Amanda just returned from a trip to Washington D.C. to watch their son Bryan graduate from Boot Camp two weeks ago. Bryan and his wife, Jessica, who is in the Coast Guard, are expecting their first child in January. Bo and Amanda also have twins, Chelsi and Dylan, who will be going into the eighth grade. A Celebration of Life is Saturday, Nov. 5, at 3 p.m. at Quail Run Ranch, 506 N. Quail Ave., New-

port. Everyone who knew Bo is invited to attend. Kirk was last seen alive when he left work at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22. He was due home at 7:20 p.m., and when he didn’t arrive for an hour, Amanda called authorities to report him missing. His credit cards were used at two different ATMs at 8:34 p.m. and 8:46 p.m. that day. At about 9:45 p.m., Timberlake Fire and Rescue responded to a vehicle on fire in the area of Rimrock Road on the north end of Kootenai County. The vehicle was Bo Kirk’s truck. Surveillance video from the two ATMs was released to the public, and law enforcement received more than 400 tips. On Saturday, Oct. 28, law enforcement from the North Idaho Violent Crimes Task Force and the US Marshall’s Service, Pacific Northwest Violent Offenders Task Force tracked down and arrested David E. Hutto, 44, of Hayden, Idaho, at Burger King on Appleway

Avenue in Coeur d’Alene. The second suspect was arrested earlier in the day and is being held in federal custody on charges related to the homicide. Detectives also secured a search warrant for a residence in Hayden where Hutto was living, on Miles Avenue Friday, which took numerous hours to process and collect evidence. Local and federal agencies working on this investigation are confident that there are no other suspects outstanding, according to a press release. “Although numerous detectives from the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office, Post Falls Police Department, Coeur d’Alene Police Department and the North Idaho Violent Crimes Task Force have been working jointly, at a nearly non-stop pace on this investigation – there is still a great deal of investigative work to be done,” according to the police department.

them in the most cost effective way and the State and Local Sales Tax Deduction Fairness Act, which allows residents of states without a state income tax, like Washington, to deduct those sales taxes from their federal tax returns. The sale tax measure finally became law at the end of the year. McMorris Rodgers is also known for her work in the disability community. There are two Pend Oreille County Commission seats up for

election, on the north and south end of the counties. GOP incumbent Steve Kiss is facing fellow Republican RJ Hampton for the District 3 seat in north county. In District 1 in the south part of the county, GOP incumbent Karen Skoog is being challenged by Democrat Bob Eugene. There are also two Pend Oreille County Superior Court Judge positions up for election for the nonpartisan jobs. Incumbent Pat Monasmith is being challenged by C. Olivia Irwin for the position one job.

Superior Court Judges hear cases in Ferry, Stevens and Pend Oreille counties. With the pending retirement of Judge Allen Nieslon, two candidates are seeking election – Jessica Taylor Reeves and Terry Williams. Incumbent PUD commissioner Rick Larson is also seeking election. He has no opponent. Incumbent GOP Reps. Shelly Short and Joel Kretz are seeking reelection for their District 7 seats. Short is unopposed and Kretz is facing Libertarian Mike Foster. There are also local fire

levy measures on the ballot. In addition, the Town of Cusick is seeking to be annexed into Fire District 4 and asking for a levy lid lift. Voters are being asked to approve an additional property taxes of $1.17 per $1,000 in assessed valuation (see related story). Voters must return their ballots postmarked no later than Tuesday, Nov. 8. There are also drop boxes located in the alley alongside the old courthouse in Newport and between the library and the community center in Ione. The drop boxes are closed at 8 p.m. Nov. 8.

Fire: Taxpayers won’t be double taxed if Cusick measure passes From Page 1A

and emergency medical services with a property tax increase of $1.17 per $1,000 of property value for a total of $3.51 per $1,000 of assessed value. According to Pend Oreille County Prosecutor Dolly Hunt, constituents would not be double taxed. The tax would be assessed only until Cu-

sick is annexed into Fire District No. 4. The second proposition for Cusick voters is to determine if the town is annexed into the Pend Oreille Fire District No. 4. Hunt states in the Voters Pamphlet that “passage would improve fire and emergency services to the town by providing faster response times, thus providing

increased safety to the townspeople.” Fire District No. 4 is also asking voters to approve funding emergency medical services, with a levy of 50 cents or less per $1,000 of assessed valuation for six consecutive years. This would provide ambulance services to residents in the district. Pend Oreille Fire

District No. 2 is asking voters to approve a levy rate of 95 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, for the continued funding of the fire district. Approval of the rate would authorize the district to exceed the regular limit of tax levies for years to come. Fire District 2 is also asking voters to authorize a tax levy for

emergency medical services, at a rate of 40 cents or less per $1,000 of assessed value, which would fund ambulance services. Pend Oreille Fire District No. 5 is asking voters to approve a levy rate of $1 per $1,000 of property value and would allow the increased rate for years to come.

County Community Development Director for 11 years, announced that he was quitting the position in September and had accepted a job with the Kalispel Tribe. His last day was Monday, Oct. 24. Planning Technician Andy Huddleston is serving as the Interim Director until a qualified candidate is hired. Huddleston said he would do what

he could to help the county until a new planning director is hired. “I’m just doing my part until they (commissioners) can get someone recruited,” Huddleston said Monday. Huddleston credits Lithgow with building a solid team in the community development department, allowing it to “Operate like a well-oiled

It’s time to broadcast county meetings Pend Oreille County Commissioner candidates back in 2008 hoped to budget for equipment to Internet broadcast commissioner meetings, so residents could at least listen in, possibly even interact. It was the steep equipment costs plus training and staff time to operate it that proved the undoing. But that’s all changed. Facebook Live (www.live.fb.com) is a new broadcast method that would scarcely cost a dime and is surprisingly easy. You’ve likely Open seen examples without realizing Ra n g e it. Former Disney Mouseketeer Justin Timberlake filmed from the Susan voting booth, a fugitive filmed Hobbs from a stolen car after murdering his aunt and uncle. And if not for a cell phone signal and Facebook Live, we’d know little about the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s efforts to protect water and sacred sites in the path of construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline – the largest gathering in a century of our nation’s indigenous people, including the Kalispel Tribe and legions of supporters. The only thing we’d need to broadcast meetings locally is a Facebook page, cell signal and Smartphone (or e-tablet). Facebook ‘Friends’ would see what’s happening as it happens, even receiving alerts for coming attractions like a Board of County Commissioners, Planning Commission or Natural Resource Committee meeting. The county could create its own Facebook page, it might take 20 minutes of staff time. Or, they could enlist trusted volunteers. Then, using existing county-purchased smartphones, public meetings around the county could be broadcast live. This would allow citizens to both hear what’s being discussed by decision-makers, and to add their voice to the debate. Imagine, no winter travel to meetings miles from home, being able to send in a comment or question as decisions that affect us all are weighed. No more would commissioners only hear from the folks who stand before them with private agendas. Broader citizen input could reveal to decision-makers that the will of the people may very well be different than they’ve been lead to believe. And if the Board of County Commissioners is slow See Open Range, 5A

Motley musings In news of the strange… Humans are weird. That is of course, a vast understatement, but once and awhile something comes along that serves as a solid reminder that we don’t always function on all cylinders, so to speak. Case in point, the Licki brush, a pet-grooming device one grips between their teeth, then uses to lick their cat. Nope, not making this one up. Before you laugh it off as a complete whack-a-doodle invention that no one in their right mind would buy into, the inventor has already received a pledge of $52,179 from 2,022 backers on Kickstarter.com. Let that sink in. You think it would be apropos to make a crazy cat lady joke right about now, but honestly, all the crazy cat ladies I know aren’t that crazy. They do this thing where they just brush their cat with an actual brush. Yep, it works just fine, and most cats love it. Never, in my brief history of cat owning, have I ever been grooming a feline when they suddenly looked at me and said, “This is nice, but do you want to know what would feel really good?” I try not to judge, but the day you Soph i E’s walk in on me licking my cat with a CHOICE tongue brush is the day my ovaries must be confiscated and hermetiSophia cally sealed, because I will obvialdous ously never use them. Lick your own damn self, kitty. It gets weirder… According to an article by the BBC, peptides that could be the answer to antibiotic resistant superbugs have been found in the milk of Tasmanian Devils. You remember that Loony Toon that whirled like a dervish at light speed and couldn’t speak with vowels? Well, his real-life counterparts, that look like they would bite your face if you looked at them cross-eyed, just might hold the key to defeating drugresistant bacterial infections. A team of scientists at University of Sydney in Australia has discovered that the milk of Tasmanian Devil mothers contains six antimicrobial peptides called cathelicidins. We humans have only one in our mother’s milk. Researchers synthesized these six devil milk peptides and found that two of them were effective against some of the most dangerous drug-resistant bacteria in the world, including golden staph and enterococcus. While that is indeed remarkable, the question that must be asked, because we’re all thinking it: Who is in charge of milking the Tasmanian? He or she must really be the Gonzo type, or someone got the short straw (and the welding gloves).

yo u r o p i n i o n Please sign Children Need Grandparents petition To the editor, Our daughter passed away in November of 2014. She left behind two girls, our grandchildren. One is now 13 and the other 10. My husband and I were involved in their everyday lives before our daughter’s untimely passing. Our granddaughters’ father was in the service during most of their lives. When he returned home his demeanor and attitude towards life had changed dramatically. After our daughter’s passing, my husband and I continued caring for our grandchildren for a couple months. Then one day our granddaughter’s father decided not to allow us to help with them or even contact them. Since our daughter’s passing, our grandchildren have spent only two nights at our home and a couple day visits lasting no more than three hours each time. Our grandchildren are not allowed to see any of their mother’s

relatives. No aunts, cousins and so on. We all miss them so very much and want them in our lives to love and to watch them grow up. Please help restore grandparents’ visitation rights with their grandchildren by signing statewide LI-877, Children Need Grandparents.

Tuberculosis and refugees To the editor, I agree wholeheartedly TB (tuberculosis) is something to be concerned about, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control Stockholm 2015 they are also concerned. In the EC report they state, “the scale of the current influx of refugees is inevitably putting pressure on public health systems in frontline receiving countries.” They also reported, “Countries experiencing or likely to experience an influx of

refugees should consider assessing their overall preparedness and response capacity for infectious disease health threats.” According to Rutgers University “History of Tuberculosis” report “the registered number of new cases of TB worldwide is at about 9 million… an estimated 2-3 million die from TB every year.” Minnesota has become the TD capitol of the U.S. and is also the state that has taken in large numbers of “Syrian Refugees” TB was once all but eradicated in the U.S. but now making a comeback with the influx of “refugees” as has measles, bubonic plague, polio and a host of other diseases. All of this is good reason to cease allowing these “refugees” into the United States that have not been screened for contagious diseases. I have not even discussed the aspect of the FBI and Homeland Security has stated, “there is no way to screen these people to know if there are ISIS members among them.” -John Weyant Priest River

Make mental health a priority By Susan Johnson, Regional Director U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Region 10

Many of us ignore physical symptoms – an aching tooth, a shoulder which locks up, early signs of diabetes or high blood pressure. Maybe we’re afraid of the dentist, don’t want to face possible surgery, or don’t want to deal with medications and lifestyle changes. We may also ignore signs of depression and other mental illnesses for a variety of reasons. We might feel mental illness is a sign of weakness, or fear that friends, family, or employers would judge us or discriminate against us. Already, too many Americans experience

prejudice, discrimination, abuse, and victimization based on a mental health diagnosis. And for too long, Americans paid for health insurance that did not recognize that treatment for mental health and Johnson substance use disorders is as essential as other medical treatment. It’s time for us to let people who are living with mental health conditions know that they are not alone, and that this administration is providing important protections for people experiencing mental illness.

FBI Director James Comey notified Congress that the FBI found email possibly related to presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on a laptop. The emails were found during an unrelated investigation.

Disorder Parity Task Force includes a series of new actions and recommendations to ensure that insurance coverage for mental health and substance use disorder services is comparable to—or at parity with—general medical care because, just as with other illnesses, we can’t afford to neglect our mental health. Mental illnesses take huge tolls on individuals and society as a whole. The annual direct and indirect economic costs of mental illnesses in the U.S., particularly untreated mental illnesses, are estimated to be in the hundreds of billions. Productivity and income are reduced, healthcare costs for other illnesses rise, and addiction, homeless-

ness, and disability rates rise. Most importantly, individuals and families suffer. According to the most recent statistics, 43.4 million adults aged 18 or older experienced some form of mental illness in the past year, and the CDC projects depression will be the second leading cause of disability worldwide by 2020. Factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, family history, major life changes, and where you live can also play a role in depression. Help is available. If you or someone you love exhibits signs of depression or another mental illness, the first step is to get screened. For 24-hour See Mental Health, 6A

Should Comey have notified Congress so close to Election Day, possibly influencing the election? Yes, he had no choice after promising to keep them updated on the Clinton email probe. No, it is against a longstanding practice to not do anything that could be seen as interfering with an election within 60 days of the election. Maybe, but not before reviewing them to see if they were relevant to the Clinton email probe.

After graduation she plans to attend a fouryear university. Her top three choices are Washington State University, Eastern Washington University, and University of Montana. She is not sure what she plans to major in, but she is considering the healthcare field, particularly the dental hygiene program at EWU or the nursing program at WSU.

to act, reluctant, or shy about being filmed, any citizen with a Facebook page could film meetings live using their Smartphone. The State’s Open Public Meetings Act doesn’t allow pre-conditions on citizen attendance at public meetings. This means recording cannot be refused. Pend Oreille County leaders, and the county prosecutor are in possession of a legal opinion on procedure courtesy Municipal Research Service Center, an organization that retired County Prosecutor Tom Metzger knew well, having held a board seat for years. Social media policy documents from other cities in the state have been provided Pend Oreille County. So everything necessary to move ahead is in leadership hands. Regardless of who’s filming, residents who don’t have (or don’t want) a Facebook account, can still follow along; either by visiting the County’s website, a Facebook page or a citizen-created blog. If the county facilitates, the clerk or secretary of each body could take written comments emailed or messaged during meetings, posting those alongside the video on the county website. A visit to the library could find staff showing patrons how to access the information. There are a few easily solved challenges. 1) Amplification of voices to pick-up everyone similarly. 2) A 90-minute video limit, workarounds include stacking. 3) Situating the Smartphone so every speaker is seen. But the bottom line? The county has the legal roadmap, the equipment and staffing (and/or volunteers) to facilitate. If leaders want to cultivate trust, if they want a more accurate read of the will of community, if leaders wish to reduce geographic and economic hardship compromising citizen participation, and if they welcome the balance of public opinion that can only come with broader input, then let’s do this. It’s time.

The cost for the training is $175 per person but, for those who find the training fee a hardship, scholarships to help are available from the Pend Oreille County Chapter of the Washington State Master Gardener Foundation. Applicants may download an application from the Master Gardener webpage at www.extension.wsu.edu/ pendoreille/gardening or pick one up at the WSU Extension Office at 227-A S. Garden Avenue in Newport. Applications will also be available at the Nov. 10 and 12 orientation sessions. Master Gardeners have worked with WSU Extension in Pend Oreille County as horticulture educators since 1990 and contribute more than 3,000 hours of service to local county communities annually.

machine” despite his absence. “This is just like Mike were on vacation,” Huddleston remarked nonchalantly. “It’s busy, but we’re not overwhelmed. Mike did a god job of creating a team here that knows how to carry the load and support each other.” Since all building permits in the county are handled administratively and don’t need to be approved by the volunteer Pend Oreille County Planning Commission, there is no hold up with permit applications, Huddleston said. He added that the building season is tapering off, with the majority of applications coming into the department in April and going through the summer. “Those start to lessen in September, and this time of year and through the winter, we hardly get anyone coming in for permits,” Huddleston said. He added that since

the State Supreme Court’s decision earlier in the month, there have been a lot of calls and walk-ins with questions about what it means for building permits. “We’ve been busy on an educational level, trying to help residents sort out what this decision may mean for them,” Huddleston said. According to Human Resources Manager Spencer Shanholtzer, the starting annual salary for the Community Development Director hasn’t been set yet. Traits that the county is looking for in a new director, according to Manus is someone that has experience in management and/or planning and wants to live in Pend Oreille Valley. “We’re hoping to get someone in sooner rather than later, but they have to be the right fit,” Manus said. “They have to have the kind of experience that would assist them in doing the job effectively.”

Idaho Fire district bond will not raise taxes West Pend Oreille asking voters for $500,000 bond PRIEST RIVER – The West Pend Oreille Fire District is asking voters to approve a $500,000 bond measure on the Nov. 8 ballot, that will not raise taxes. The bond will be used to complete Station 3 on Old Priest River Road, and build Station 4 on East River Road, near the new transfer site. The fire district has secured a federal government loan, and the district has the money allocated in its current budget to make the annual payments. However, since it is such a substantial amount of money, the district is required to obtain permission from taxpayers on the loan. Station 3 on Old Priest River Road currently houses four to six fire trucks. “Our goal is to add a training room and staff quarters, and turn this station into our primary training facility, as we have outgrown our current training room at Station 1,” district personnel said. “Furthermore, there will be more room outdoors at Station 3 to build various training props, which will give our volunteers a more realistic experience during training.” With the expansion of Station 3, the district will be able to provide a relief center for community members during large storms or lengthy power outages. People would be able to come to the station to take showers, fill water jugs, or charge phones and computers. Currently, Station 1 near the Priest River Airport acts as a relief center in times of need, but by completing Station 3 there will be a center on both the north and south sides of the river. Station 4 will also house four to six fire trucks, and will provide easily accessible resources in the northern portion of the district. This additional station

could also potentially lower homeowner’s insurance premiums for property owners located in its vicinity. This is the same bond measure that ran in the May 17, 2016 election. The district ran both this bond measure and a levy on the May ballot, and officials believe there was some confusion among voters. They are putting the levy off until a later date. There was also some confusion in voting. “There was also some confusion at polling loca-

tions regarding whether or not some folks resided within the fire district, and whether or not they would be permitted to vote on the fire district ballot items,” officials said. The fire district commissioners have been working with the Bonner County Elections office to clear up district boundaries and prevent these issues from happening again. To alleviate some of the confusion, each polling location will have a map of the fire district avail-

able. If you reside within the district, and do not receive a ballot with this measure on it, speak to the polling judge and request that he/she consult the district map. If you are not sure whether or not you reside within the district, ask one of the election volunteers to look at the map. Questions and concerns can be directed to West Pend Oreille Fire District by calling 208448-2035, emailing to wpofdbondinfo@gmail. com, or connecting on Facebook.

10-digit dialing launches Nov. 5 to prepare for second area code BOISE – Beginning Saturday, Nov. 5, Idahoans can start getting accustomed to 10-digit dialing when placing local calls, according to a press release from the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. That date kicks off a ninemonth “permissive dialing period,” before mandatory 10-digit dialing begins in August 2017 to accommodate a second area code in

Be Entertained

the state. The second area code – “986” – will be issued to new telephone numbers beginning next fall. Assigning the 986 code to only new numbers means that no existing numbers will need to be changed. However, all users will need to dial 10-digits (area code, plus prefix, plus 4-digit number) to have calls completed. Long-

distance or toll calls on landlines will require a “1” before the area code, the same as long-distance calls now require. The second area code is necessary because numbers under the 208 code are running out, due primarily to increased use of cell phones, the Internet, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and other advancing technologies.

The nine-month permissive dialing period will also include an educational campaign from telecommunication providers. “The commission, as well as the telecommunications industry, wanted to allow plenty of time for customers to prepare for the change and get used to 10-digit dialing,” said Paul Kjellander, president of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. Most telecommunications devices, even landline phones, now have number storage capability that allows customers to program numbers into their phones and reach their contacts with the press of one or two buttons. Over the next nine months, customers should change the numbers they have programmed into their phones to include the area code. When mandatory 10-digit dialing begins next August, all calls, even local calls, without an area code will not be completed. Callers will get a recording telling them to hang up and dial again and include the area code. Local calls on landline phones will still not cost anything, even though dialing the area code will be required. The move to a second area code will not impact rates. Callers will still dial just three digits when calling 911, 211, 411 and 811.

High altitude hinders Spartans at state

By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner

POCATELLO – Try as they did, the Priest River cross country team was not able to place at state, with the muddy, wet running conditions, high altitudes and illness all being factors. Several of the team members had advanced to the 3A State Championships, held Saturday, Oct. 29 at the Portneuf Wellness Complex in Pocatello. PRLHS Coach Lance Clark said the high altitude and long bus ride didn’t help his runners’ performances, something he hopes to rectify for future meets in southern Idaho. “The trip down to XC state was a good one this year,” Clark wrote in an email. “The boys raced hard but complained that their legs were heavy. I had a few that were sick from some food we ate, and a few other issues got in our way. I believe that the team still raced hard and chalked it up as an experience to help them succeed in the future.”

Selkirk sweeps Cusick IONE – The Selkirk volleyball team beat Cusick in three games Thursday, Oct. 27, winning 25-12, 25-18, 25-20. Selkirk had some problems with serving to begin the match, but Whitney Dawson’s dominating play at the net helped the Rangers with the win. Dawson had 11 kills and two blocks. Lexi Ellsworth had five aces for Selkirk and Jenna Couch had 10 assists and seven digs. For Cusick, Taylor Allen had two assists and two blocks. Nicole Stensgar had an ace and Alana Keogh had 10 digs. Selica Auld had three kills.

Newport falls to Deer Park in double OT

By Don Gronning Of The Miner

NEWPORT – The Newport Grizzlies football team took it to the undefeated Deer Park Stags Friday night at Newport, coming up short in double overtime, losing 28-21. “I thought that was one of the most exciting games that we have had here in a long time,” Newport coach Zac Farnam said. “Two good teams banging it out, trying to prepare for a playoff run. Both sides had our ups and downs and they just made the last big play.” Even with the loss, Newport will go on to post season play against the No. 1 team from the Caribou Trail League. There are three teams tied in the CTL – Okanogan, Cashmere and Cascade. They will have a tiebreaker tonight to determine which of those teams will advance. Playoff times haven’t been set yet, but Newport will travel to play the CTL opponent Friday. Against Deer Park, it was a defensive contest in the first half, with neither team being able to score. “I felt that we did a great job on defense and we were physical and had great leverage up front,” Farnam said. After the halftime break, Deer Park broke through with a nine-yard touchdown run, with a successful point after kick. Newport battled back, with Jesse Reyes scoring on a three-yard run. Kai Thomas kicked the extra point and the teams were tied.

Just before the quarter ended, Newport got into the end zone again, with Koa Pancho making a nine-yard touchdown run. Thomas was good on the extra point kick and the Grizzlies left the third quarter leading 14-7. The team battled through the fourth quarter, with Deer Park finally getting a touchdown on a 10-yard pass. The kick tied the game. In overtime play in Washington high school football, each team gets the ball on the 25 yard line with a chance to score. Newport won the flip and made the most of it, with Pancho scoring on a 12-yard run, and Thomas kicking the extra point. Then Deer Park got their chance and they too converted, scoring on a fouryard run and kicking the extra point. Newport then got the ball back. This time, they couldn’t score. Deer Park took over and scored on a 25 yard run, taking the win. This year in the Northeast A League, there are two guaranteed state playoff berths for the top two teams – Deer Park and Freeman. The third and fourth place teams will play the first and second place teams from the Caribou Trail League. Newport finished the season tied for fourth with Lakeside, both with a 4-3 league record and 5-4 overall record. Since Newport beat Lakeside during the regular season, they will go on as the No. 4 team in the NEA.

Cusick routs Selkirk 54-14 By Don Gronning Of The Miner

CUSICK – The Cusick Panthers football team defeated rival Selkirk 5414 Friday night, Oct. 28, at Cusick. “We came out stronger than we usually do,” Cu-

sick coach Troy Hendershott said. Cusick kicked off, then the defense went to work, holding Selkirk to three plays and a punt. The Selkirk offense then took over, capping their drive with a five-yard Colton Hansen touchdown run.

Panther season ends CUSICK – The Cusick volleyball seasons is over, ending with a win and a loss at home Saturday. The Panthers hosted both Republic and Curlew Saturday, losing to Republic in three, but beating Curlew in four. Republic beat Cusick 25-16, 25-16, 25-14. Taileya Tonasket had four kills and an ace for Cusick. Maki Ranck had four assists, and Taylor Allen had seven digs and three blocks. Cusick had a stronger showing in the second game of the day, beating Curlew 25-23, 21-25, 25-23, 26-24. Allen had six kills and a block for Cusick. Ranck had 14 assists and five aces, and Jacki Sage had 15 digs. Cusick finished fourth in the Northeast 1B North League, 4-8 in league play and 5-10 overall.

Cusick’s run. “They were a little too strong up the middle,” Link said. “Their nose guard, Caleb Ziesmer, is a force.” Still, Selkirk stayed in it, with Jacob Couch breaking a 65-yard run for a touchdown. The twopoint extra point run was On Deck:

Hansen ran for two extra points, giving Cusick a 16-8 first quarter lead. Hansen caught another long touchdown pass from Cupp in the second quarter – a 70-yard play. The extra point was unsuccessful and Cusick led 22-8 at the half. Hendershott said he wanted to keep his players fired up after the half. “It’s See Gridiron, 3b

Grizzlies hang up shoes for crosscountry season

By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner

CHEWELAH – Hard rain and a mucky running surface didn’t exactly help any of the runners at the crosscountry District 6/7 1A Championships at Chewelah Golf Course Thursday, Oct. 27. The Newport High School harriers persevered despite the challenges, but were unable to place, resulting in the end of their cross country season and no advancements to the state tournament scheduled for this Saturday at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco. “We ran pretty well under adverse conditions,” said Newport cross country coach Mike Frederick. “Our league is so tough.” Newport’s boys came in eighth out of eight

schools with an overall score of 222. Cusick High School student Gracie StrangeOwl, who ran with the Newport Grizzlies this season, was barely nudged out of the top thirty with a time of 22:35. The girls did not place. However, considering only two students on the entire team had ever competed in cross country before, Frederick said he is very pleased with his team’s commitment and determination, which will help lay the foundation for next year’s cross-country team. “We’ve really made some good strides,” said Frederick. “I hope the kids that turned out for the team this year stick with it, because they have learned a lot and can apply that knowledge to next year.”

Priest River loses by a point after 2 OTs By Don Gronning Of the Miner

PRIEST RIVER – The Priest River Spartans and Weiser Wolverines battled to a 7-7 tie in the state playoff game Saturday, Oct. 28, in Priest River, sending the game into overtime. Priest River scored in the first OT, forcing the Wolverines to answer, which they did. Weiser gambled and went for the win, going for a two point after touchdown run instead of a kick. The gamble worked and Weiser won 15-14, ending the Spartans’ season. “It was obviously a heartbreaking loss for the players, the coaches and, I think the community as well,” Spartan coach Shane Douglas said. “The boys battled all day long, it was just one of those type of games.” Weiser scored first in the first quarter, the only score by either team for most of the game. The Spartans sputtered through the first half in muddy conditions. They didn’t get a first down until the second quarter. Once they started moving the ball, they had trouble scoring. “We just didn’t finish our drives,” Douglas said, noting the Spartans had considerable more offensive yards that Weiser. “We were inside the 20 yard line three times without getting a single point out of it. In a game like that with a mucky field the littlest mistake caused issues with timing and execution of the play.” While the Spartans weren’t scoring, their defense was keeping Weiser out of the end zone and the game was close going into the fourth quarter. That’s when Priest River struck, scoring on an Anthony Storro to Colin Dietrick pass play. The extra point was good and the game was tied 7-7. “When we finally finished a drive in the fourth quarter and scored to tie it up, I felt we would win,” Douglas said. “The boys were battling hard and we were gaining yards and stopping them on defense.” The game ended and the teams had a Kansas City tiebreaker. The Spartans won the toss and got four plays from the 10-yard line. “When we got into the Kanas City tie breaker from the 10-yard line and scored

on our first play and we executed the extra point, I was feeling like our defense would stop them,” Douglas said. Weiser had other plans and scored on their possession. They lined up to kick the extra point, but ran instead, scoring the two-point conversion and winning the game. Weiser advanced to the quarterfinals. “When they scored and went for the extra point, we were in great position to stop the fake extra point but we just couldn’t get to the runner quick enough to stop their two point conversion,” Douglas said. It was a real emotional roller coaster all day long. “It was disappointing to lose the game and not move onto the quarterfinals but I have great respect for the effort our boys put forward,” Douglas said. “Not many gave us a chance of qualifying for state and not many gave us much of a chance to even compete at that level, but this team never really listened to all that. They believed all year we could have a special year.” Douglas said he will miss this group of seniors, who he has coached all four years. “They were a group that were like brothers and treated each other as family and that just doesn’t come around that often,” he said. “They have forever affected the Spartan football program setting a standard that can be built upon.” Storro completed eight of 17 pass attempts for 113 yards and two touchdowns. He was intercepted once. He was also the leading rusher for Priest River, gaining 68 yards on 11 carries. Tommy Anselmo carried 17 times for 67 yards, Caleb Blancher carried seven times for 58 yards and Robbie Anselmo carried twice for two yards. Tommy Anselmo caught four passes for 53 yards and a touchdown. Dietrick caught one 27-yard touchdown pass, Robbie Anselmo caught two passes for 17 yards and Branden McCracken caught a pass for 16 yards. The Spartans had 195 rushing yards and 113 passing yards for 308 total offensive yards. The Spartans ended the year with a 2-1 Intermountain League record and were 3-5 overall.

Spartans: Scored Ninth overall From Page 1B

Priest River Boys’ Varsity scored ninth place overall with a final tally of 221. Since the only girl from Priest River to compete was Anara Seiler, the girls did not place. “Times were not a factor in this race due to the wet and soggy grass,” said Clark. “The entire field of runners were at least a minute slower than their best. Overall, the southern, high altitude teams seemed to endure as victors. We did have some good team accomplishments for our north Idaho teams, though.” Cameron Parkes ran hard according to Clark, but did not meet his own expectations. Slava Negrieieva may have had the biggest personal improvement out of the entire field of runners. “He ran great,” Clark praised. Jordan Phillips was also praised as having run well. Caleb Gleason complained of a stomachache, while Nicodemus Eisler, Leif Williams, and Spencer Sedgwick all

complained of heavy legs and were not happy with their performances. “With this learning experience, I feel that our boys are hungry to redeem themselves next year,” Clark said. “The rumor is that State would be back down in the Boise area at Eagle Island next year. We are hoping to really show what this team can do then.” The Spartan Harrier’s lone girl, Anara Seiler, raced hard, finishing in the top 30. “I am really proud of her,” said Clark. “She was in the top 20 for most of the race and was overcome in the last mile or so. She is looking forward to track in the spring. She will be one to watch out for.” All in all, Clark added that he is really proud of the accomplishments of all of the cross country athletes this year. “I am also really thankful to all those who helped our season become a successful one. We couldn’t have done it without all of you,” said Clark.

getting towards playoff time and we can’t let up,” he said. Cusick scored three TDs in the third quarter, starting with another long pass play this one for 65 yards, another Cupp to Hansen pass. Cupp scored on a fiveyard run next, followed by 64-yard Keogh touchdown run. By midway in the third quarter, Cusick had the game in hand and took some of the starters out. By the fourth quarter, it was nearly all second team, Hendershott said. Cusick scored once in the fourth quarter, a 15-yard Cupp run. Selkirk’s Couch picked off a pass and returned it for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Link said the Rangers had to make an adjustment in the third quarter when

Tristan Chantry sprained his ankle. Chantry is a starting linebacker and running back, so his loss was felt. “We had to put Jason (Link) in as quarterback and move Couch to running back,” Link said. Link said his team didn’t have their best day. “We had some mental breakdowns on offense and defense,” he said. Still he gave Cusick credit for the win. Selkirk still has another game, Friday, Nov. 4, at Pateros. “We beat them 40-20 the first time,” Link said. “We’ll start and end the season with Pateros.” Selkirk goes on to a crossover game Almira/CouleeHartline, from the Northeast 1B South conference. Cusick lost to ACH 30-12 in September. “We’ll see if we can avenge the loss,” Hendershott said. Either way, Cusick is in the state

tournament. The game will be played Friday at Cusick, starting at 7 p.m. Hansen had 157 allpurpose yards for Cusick in the Selkirk game, including a rushing touchdown. He also caught two TD passes. Dylan Hendershott caught two passes for two touchdowns. He also made two interceptions. Keogh rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. Cupp rushed 14 times for 83 yards and two touchdowns. Cupp also completed eight of 17 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns. He was intercepted once, but Hendershott said he might have thought he was throwing to a Cusick player, as Selkirk’s white uniforms were pretty muddy by game’s end. Cusick has a 6-2 league record and is 4-1 overall. Selkirk has a 3-7 league record and is 1-4 overall.

‘Adopt’ a Teen for the holidays NEWPORT - Youth Emergency Services (YES) is asking community members to “adopt” a homeless teen (or one of their siblings) for the holidays. Individuals can contact the YES office and get a “tag” with a number that identifies their teen. The tag includes the youth’s age, gender, and some gift ideas—some things they need and some things they would like. The tag holder chooses what to offer and how much they want to give. They purchase gifts, wrap them, clearly label them with teen’s number, and bring them to the Y.E.S. office or to Pine Ridge Community Church, 1428 W. 1st Ave., Newport. YES assists homeless, challenged, and at risk teens in Pend Oreille County year-round, providing basic necessities, tutoring, and support to keep these youth in school and give them hope for their future.

obituari es William “Bo” Kirk Post Falls

William “Bo” Tyrus John Kirk - husband, father, son, brother, and friend – was suddenly taken from us on Saturday, Oct. 22, in Hayden, Idaho. He was 41 years old and touched the lives of many people with his smile and generosity; he maintained his trademark sense of humor all the way to the end. Kirk A Celebration of Life will be held at 3 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 5, at Quail Run Ranch, 506 North Quail Avenue, Newport. Bo Kirk was born in San Diego, Calif., to William John Kirk and Evelia Medina April 29, 1975. He graduated from Priest River Lamanna High School in Priest River in 1993. Bo married Amanda June Weber on Aug. 20, 1994, in Newport. He graduated from Carrington College in 2012 with a degree in Radiologic Technology. Bo worked as a Radiologic Technologist for Northwest Specialty Hospital in Post Falls, Idaho and Newport Hospital in Newport for four years. He was active in softball, golf and had bragging rights as the “champion” in cornhole. By far his biggest accomplishment was his love and commitment to his family and friends. Bo was the beloved husband of Amanda Kirk. He will be forever remembered by his devoted sons, Bryan Kirk (Jessica Kirk) and Dylan Kirk and his loving daughter Chelsi Kirk. Bo is also survived by his grandfather William Odom Kirk; his mother Evelia Medina; his father William John Kirk; step-mother Belinda Kirk; sister Claudia Jackson; half-brother Cameron Kirk; half-sister Michelle Richardson; step sisters Amy Churchill, DeAnn Endicott, and Cynthia Bogner; caring in-laws Sharon Weber and Jim Weber; numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many other family and friends. Bo was a pure, bright, dedicated man. He was the most giving, selfless person you would ever meet. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone if he thought they were in need. He had the ability to make people feel loved and genuinely special. Most everyone in his life had a special nickname and he never forgot it. Bo will always be a treasured gift to the Coeur d’Alene and surrounding communities and his lessons will live on in the hearts of those he blessed. To his family, his traditions, values, memories, laughter, and unconditional love will leave a void that will never be replaced. The twinkle in his eye and his contagious smile will live on forever in their hearts and memories. He is now joyfully waiting for the day that his beloved family joins him. Rest in peace “Big Daddy Slim.” Memorials may be given to the State of Idaho Crime Victims Compensation, crimevictimcomp.idaho.gov, or Newport Youth Emergency Services, 316 West 2nd St., Newport, WA 99156. Also, a fund to benefit the Kirk family has been set up at STCU. Anyone who wishes to donate can visit any STCU branch in Washington or North Idaho or call (509) 326-1954. The family of Bo Kirk wishes to extend our sincere thanks to everyone that has provided prayers, comfort, love and support through this difficult time. Please share your thoughts and memories of Bo in his online memorial at www.belltowerfuneralhome.com.

Nate attended the Newport School District and graduated Class of 1997. Following high school he graduated from Washington State University. At WSU he became a member of the Phi Carstens Kappa Theta fraternity. He was always a “Coug” even after moving to Oregon. Go Cougs!. He moved to Lincoln City, Ore., and worked at Chinook Winds Casino, then later found his “home” at The Inn at Spanish Head where he loved his job and co-workers. Left to mourn are his parents, Randy and Bonnie Carstens, grandmothers Edith Jones of Newport and Eyvonne Carstens of Usk, his extra family “The Willners” and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

A very special “Thank you” to his adoptive family at The Inn at Spanish Head and his large circle of friends who were exceptionally supportive of Nate during his illness. Another thanks to Randy and Bonnie’s friends and neighbors that took care of everything while they were away caring for Nate. At Nate’s request there will be no memorial services.
