Zakar winning hospital board position, hospital bond failing

By Don Gronning Of the Miner

NEWPORT – The $9 million, 25-year Pend Oreille Hospital District No. 1 bond appears headed for defeat after the initial

counts Tuesday night.

With 3,591 ballots counted, the hospital bond appears to fall short of the 60 percent needed for approval. There are still a couple hundred votes to count. More than 54 percent voted for the

bond, with 1,587 people voting yes. But 1,307 voted no, about 45 percent. The hospital district had sought the bond to build an assisted living facility.

In the race for the commissioner 1 seat on the Pend Oreille Hos-

pital District No. 1 board, Terry Zakar is beating incumbent John Jordan 1,246-1,055 or 54 percent to 45 percent. There wee 33 write in votes in that race.

In one of the county’s other contested race, incumbent write

in candidate Mike Keogh appeared to be beating Eric Finley.

It is unclear if all the write-in votes went to Keogh, but the write in votes tallied 281 votes See election, 2A

Mental health rebuilds within a broken system

By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner

NEWPORT – Pend Oreille County Mental Health is working to overcome several challenges, particularly in funding, workforce and crisis services, according to Anna-

belle Payne, Director of Counseling Services.

These issues aren’t unique to Pend Oreille County. Washington was recently ranked at a grim No. 47 on a national ranking of state mental health care systems by nonprofit Mental Health Ameri-

ca. It barely fared better than Rhode Island, Nevada, Arizona and Oregon.

Last November, Mental Health America ranked Washington 48th in the nation for availability of psychiatSee health, 2A

Pot can bring money, jobs, council told

By Don Gronning Of The Miner

NEWPORT – Three business people appealed to the Newport City Council for buffer reduction for retail marijuana businesses at the city council meeting Monday night, Nov. 2.

Doug Marshall spoke first. He said he represented Jeff Williams, a businessman who wanted to open a retail marijuana shop, who was also on the agenda but couldn’t attend.

He said a retail marijuana establishment like the one Williams wants to open would bring at least four family

wage jobs to Newport. It would increase traffic to downtown businesses.

“And most important, is the increase in tax revenue,” he said.

As it is now, Pend Oreille County doesn’t stand to get any of the marijuana tax money because there is no retail store here. The 37 percent tax is paid at the retail level. Pend Oreille County has a number of licensed marijuana producers and processors but no retail store.

Williams is in the process of applying for a state marijuana retail license,

Willenbrock hired as PUD chief

NEWPORT – Because of the Veterans Day holiday Wednesday, Nov. 11, The Newport and Gem State Miner Newspapers will be on stands and in the mail one day early next week. The Miner will publish Tuesday, Nov. 10, because the Post Office is closed on Wednesday.

Deadlines will move up one day. Classifieds and legal notices are due noon Friday, Nov. 6. Display advertising is due at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 9, and Hot Box ads are due by noon Monday. Editorial deadlines remain mostly the same. Letters to the editor are due by 5 p.m. Friday,

NEWPORT – F. Colin Willenbrock has been officially named general manager of the Pend Oreille Public Utility District.

PUD commissioners had named Willenbrock general manager two weeks ago but had to have it on the agenda for two weeks before making the appointment official, which they did at their regular meeting Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Willenbrock’s contract is somewhat unusual. He will make $180,000 a year but is an at will employee,

with either side being able to end the agreement with adequate notice.

Willenbrock has been working as the PUD attorney. Once he took the PUD general manager job, he couldn’t be the PUD attorney, so the board agreed to hire Winston & Cachatt on an hourly basis. Willenbrock used to work for Winston & Cachatt. He said they would be willing to work for a reduced hourly rate, maybe $150 an hour. The board agreed to a three-month trial, starting at the next PUD regular meeting Nov. 17.

OLYMPIA – About 10,000 of Washington’s K-12 students had their own taste of voting last week when they took part in the annual Mock Election, the state’s largest civic education program.

Students narrowly approved Initiative 1366 (restricting tax increases), as 51.5 percent voted “yes.” A larger majority (76 percent) gave a thumbs-up to I-1401 (trafficking of endangered animals).

This year’s Mock Election attracted 9,959 voters.

“The Mock Election is an excellent way to introduce students to voting and why it’s important,” Secretary of State Kim Wyman said.

“I hope this taste of what voting is like will result in a lifetime of civic involvement once they become adults.”

The Mock Election, held mostly online, began Monday morning and ended early Friday afternoon. The annual civics program for Washington students has been conducted by See mock, 9A

ric treatment.

“As you probably have heard, the system is broken, but the efforts being done to rebuild it are a move in the right direction,” Payne said.

Shortages of mental health providers in rural parts of Washington make it especially hard for residents there to get care. More than half of the counties in Washington have no practicing psychiatrist, psychologist or social worker.

Starting in 2008, the state Legislature cut mental health funding, resulting in the closure of many psychiatric hospital wards (beds), which

‘By 2016 we should see Regional Support Networks become basic health organizations that incorporate both mental health and substance abuse services.’

Annabelle Payne

Director, Pend Oreille County Counseling Services

ultimately led to an increased number of mentally ill patients landing in hospital emergency rooms or jails.

Last year, the Washington State Supreme Court ruled that boarding mentally ill patients in hospital emergency rooms, acute care centers, and jails was unconstitutional, hereby motivating the legislature to increase funding for bed capacity in certified psychiatric treatment facilities throughout the state.

“Locally, we continue to have difficulties securing beds when a Designated Mental Health Professional (DMHP) determines a person needs inpatient psychiatric care,” Payne said.

“So although the recent funding from the legislature is helpful, more is needed and it will take time to build capacity.”

DMHPs are the vanguard professionals who assess psychiatric patients at hospitals and other facilities.

There are 160 more psychiatric beds in the state than there were in August 2014, with an additional 60 added in July 2015, according to the state Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS).

After the state Supreme Court ruling, Gov. Jay Inslee authorized $30 million to help curb what was deemed unconstitutional boarding, though the state wound up spending only $14 million because of a change in the way Medicaid beds are reimbursed via the Affordable Health Care Act. The governor has proposed $37 million in the 2015-2017 budget plan to continue to address the issue.

According to Payne, Pend Oreille County Counseling has access to only a handful of those beds, after Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane went from 74 beds for psychiatric care down to 12 for children and 12 for adults.

“It is a challenge that effects every county in the state, especially rural ones,” Payne said.

Pend Oreille County contracts with Spokane County Regional Support Network, which is transforming into a behavioral health organization under Senate Bill 5732, which was passed in 2013.

The bill established the Adult Behavioral Task Force and expanded it with the passage of Senate Bill 6312. The task force was established to make recommendations for reforming behavioral health services within the state.

Currently, Pend Oreille County contracts with the state for substance abuse services, but that will change under the new bill as well.

One of the mandates is to address integration of substance abuse and mental health services by April 2016, and integration of behavioral health and primary care by 2020.

“Integrated care is the buzz word for the next several years, really,” Payne said. “By 2016 we should see Regional Support Networks become basic health organizations that incorporate both mental health and substance abuse services.”

Pend Oreille County’s substance abuse program currently has 20 active clients with a list of persons scheduled for assessments.

The mental health caseload has about 160 clients with new

intakes scheduled.

Pend Oreille Counseling Service has had to bill Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act since January 2014 instead of relying on a state program that reimbursed at a higher rate.

The deficit in money means the county’s only chemical treatment provider has to dip into the chemical dependency program reserves.

The difference in money between Medicaid reimbursement and state Grant In Aid reimbursement is significant, Payne said. It costs about $16,500 a month for the outpatient program. That pays for a chemical dependency professional to work with about 25-30 people, who meet in smaller intensive outpatient groups three times a week. Medicaid reimburses $19.28 an hour for clients in groups, compared to $48 an hour that the state Grant In Aid program paid for low-income clients.

“This is a new game for RSN, because they haven’t had to do substance abuse programs before,” Payne said. “They are aware there’s a crisis, but how much funding is enough? The rates have to be sustainable.

Right now, we’re fine, but right now it’s about what do we need to consider for contingency planning?”

If the RSN is not adequately funded by 2016, Payne said county commissioners would have to consider whether or not they want a chemical dependency program in the county. One possibility is the commissioners could approve a one-10th-of-1 percent sales tax increase to be used for chemi-

cal dependency treatment, but that option is not yet decided on, according to Pend Oreille County Commissioner Mike Manus.

“I see the need, and as a state, I see us not meeting the needs of our people,” Manus said. “I think that’s pretty much a national trend in mental health.

It’s something that we need to look at differently than what has traditionally been done in the past.”

From the chemical dependency side, Manus estimated that the county would dwindle down its reserves around April 2016.

“My personal feeling is that we need to do more as a county, and I think it would end up being a cost savings for the people in the county if we did enact a one-10th-of-1 percent sales tax,” Manus said.

“I realize that’s not a popular thing to do, but it would give us funding to have a treatment court and also allow us to hire a second chemical dependency employee.”

Drug treatment court allows participants 21 years of age and older that are facing a sentence of 90 days in jail, or have two prior criminal convictions, to get help for their recovery while paying their debt to society. Alcohol or substance abuse must have contributed to the pending charge. Charges must be misdemeanors and violations with no pending felony charges.

The participant must acknowledge having a problem with chemical dependency and be willing to engage in treatment for one year.

Newport homes, businesses hit with racist graffiti

By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner

NEWPORT – Police are investigating several incidents of white supremacist graffiti after businesses and homes were spray painted with swastikas and the acronym S.S. A 15-year-old Newport resident has been charged with vandalism, but Pend Oreille County Sheriff Alan Botzheim said Monday that the investigation is still ongoing.

“It’s disturbing to see that type of thing,” he said of the graffiti.

“It makes you wonder, do people really know what they are doing when they write stuff like this on the side of people’s homes and businesses?”

According to Pend Oreille County Undersheriff Grant Sirevog, 15 structures, including four businesses and 11 homes or outbuildings, were tagged between late evening Monday, Oct. 26 and early morning Tuesday, Oct. 27.

S.S. is a contraction for “Schutzstaffel,” German for “Protective Echelon.” The S.S. originally served as Nazi Party leader

Several buildings were marked with this kind of graffiti.

Adolf Hitler’s personal bodyguards, and later became one of the most significant and dreaded organizations in Nazi Germany. After World War II at the Nuremberg trials, the SS was deemed a criminal organization for its direct involvement in war crimes.

According to the

County budget discussions underway

By Don Gronning Of The Miner

NEWPORT – County department heads have been appearing before Pend Oreille County commissioners to discuss their proposed 2016 budgets.

Preliminary numbers show the county with about $1.47 million more in expenditures than revenue, which isn’t unusual.

“We usually make it up with the carryover,” auditor Marianne Nichols said.

Last year the $1.3 million carryover – the amount of money budgeted but not spent from the previous year – was what the county used to balance the budget. The county also has $1 million cash reserves.

The county projects $10.35 million in spending in 2016, up from $9.876 million budgeted in 2015.

County employees, including county commissioners, will get a 1.5 percent cost of living increase. The salary commission met Oct. 14 and

approved the increase for commissioners, which will go into effect in January.

The county projects revenues of $9.832 million for 2016, compared to $9.876 million budgeted in 2015. Both the 2015 and the 2016 numbers reflect a carryover amount, $1.3 million for 2015 and an estimated $900,000 for 2016.

County commission chairman Steve Kiss said the plan now is to not do a road levy shift in which taxing authority for the road fund is shifted to the county’s general fund.

“The road levy shift is not on the plate right now but no decision has been made,” he said. “Revenues are looking a little better than we initially thought, so we’re optimistic we won’t have to do it. Our goal is to not have to do it.”

But the road levy shift hasn’t been ruled out.

The county is starting to rehire after the Great Recession of 2008. The number of county full

Failing hospital bond a disappointment

A

t first count, it looks as though the Newport Hospital and Health Services bond to build a new assisted living facility won’t get the 60 percent voter approval it needed to pass.

This is very disappointing for a variety of reasons.

The most obvious disappointment is the lack of consideration for the elders in our community. The current long term care facility has bathrooms in the hallway. Think about that. Residents who have lived some 80 to 90 years on this planet – or longer – have to use a bathroom with a curtain separating them from the public. That isn’t right.

The hospital district did everything in its power to make this bond passable – except on thing: officials didn’t spread the word well enough.

If the bond had passed, property owners could use their tax statements to offset any charges they accrued at the hospital or its clinics, including labs and co-pays. Many people either didn’t believe that to be true or legal, or didn’t understand what it means. It means that if you pay, for example, $50 toward the bond on your tax statement, and your co-pays are $20 each, you don’t have to pay for 2.5 visits to your doctor.

And that is actually true, and actually legal.

Where the district administration fell short was talking to the public about the bond. They visited every church and civic group imaginable, but those are the people who would most likely vote in favor of the bond anyway. They didn’t talk at the local Republican Party meetings, or at the Democrats’ meeting for that matter. They didn’t foster dialogue in local media. They didn’t post signs or advertisements around the area to keep the bond in the forefront of voters’ minds.

A committee tasked with passing the bond held two picnics in Newport and Cusick, but didn’t tell anyone about them. Turnout was dismal.

Hopefully this bond will be put back before voters in the next election cycle. Hopefully the hospital district will do a better job of getting voters to approve it.

Motley musings A web of hypocrisy When I see a spider outside: “An intrinsic example of nature’s complexity and beauty. A marvel of God’s creation.”

When a spider inadvertently plops onto my face at three in the morning: “DIE! Die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die…”

This is followed by violently thrashing in the bed sheets and much swinging of the nearest book, but you get the picture.

Ssshhh! Coffee consumption is not complete

Soph i E’s CHOICE Sophia aldous

As I get older, I realize that the phrase “I have to put my face on before going out” has very little to do with cosmetics and everything to do with how much coffee and tea I have consumed between the hours or 5 a.m. and 8 a.m.

Disposing of the remains

After dad died, it fell upon my brother and myself, as it does most children in the aftermath of a parental loss, to go through dad’s belongings and sort accordingly. As much as we adore and pine for him, the motto through that two week period was, “What the Hell, dad?”

We pondered this not out of disrespect, but because father, may he rest in peace, wasn’t what you would refer to as the most organized of accumulators.

In other words, he had a vast array of crap strewn from here to breakfast.

The Old Leprechaun was probably chuckling from his urn at the puzzled, sometimes annoyed expressions on his children’s faces as we sorted through various bric-a-brac.

I mention this, because whilst cleaning out the back storage area, where dad kept all of his tools, I happened across a rusted out coffee can with no lid, filled with what appeared to be very fine powder.

“What do you think this is?” I asked William. “It looks like ashes, but why would he keep it?”

My brother, ever the bolt from the blue humorist, replied straight faced, “Gee, I hope it’s not a person.”

We exchanged a momentary concerned look before breaking into laughter. Will concluded that it was most likely deposits from the Mount St. Helen eruption in 1980.

“Say a prayer when you dump it, though,” he said as I went to dispose of it. “You know, just in case.”

McMorris Rodgers misses too many committee meetings

To the editor, I appreciated the focus placed on the Pend Oreille County Economic Development Council in the Oct. 28 editorial opinion, and the support expressed for the programmatic steps being taken to enhance our county’s business atmosphere. I also found elements within your dissent on my proposal concerning communication to illustrate exactly why I opened discussion on the issue.

When misconceptions are held, especially by those whose credo calls for accuracy in publication, I am reinforced in the belief that clear and full information distribution is important within any public process. I continue to feel professional assistance by specialized resources is the best option in this endeavor.

Respectfully, rather than to “should” on others, I promote joining in their efforts. I again invite the editorial staff of The Miner to actively participate in the work of the citizen/volunteers of the Economic Development Council, Board of Directors. I believe that working together, the people, businesses and institutions of our county can do good things.

-Lonnie Johnson, EDC Chairman Metaline Falls

To the editor, Do what I say and not what I do is the mantra of Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash. When asked how to solve our political problems, her canned answer is we must have lots of committee meetings.

She doesn’t talk about resolutions, just convening meeting after meeting and asking questions and more questions. How ironic for Cathy to say meetings are important, as Cathy missed 92 percent of the committee meetings she was to attend.

This figure is based on 1,000 committee and subcommittee hearing minutes that were analyzed for Congressional members’ attendance. To be marked present a member of Congress only needs to appear for a short time, but Cathy didn’t bother. Her spokesman spoke up for her saying she had “family situations that kept her away” and that her duties as chairwoman of the House Republican Conference conflicted with meetings.

Can all members of Congress with “duties” just not show up at meetings? Can we use her excuse to not do our jobs 92 percent of the time? Congress has a lot of issues to deal with and as a member of a committee that work is important,

unless you’re Cathy.

Cathy is the perfect example of why Congress doesn’t work, literally and figuratively.

-Pat Bates Clarkston, Wash.

Country lazy when dealing with social problems To the editor, Our American society can’t get enough of police and military response to every problem or conflict. The police seem to be everywhere and are busy filling up our jails and prisons with people who commit petty crimes. It’s a lazy society that expects the police and military to solve all its problems.

We are quick to dial 911 or send in the troops, forgoing dialog and negotiation in favor of force.

This social laziness often leads to severe unintended consequences of death and destruction, especially when we demand action in response to a relatively minor event. An example would be a policeman’s use of a firearm in response to what is said during a misdemeanor traffic stop. On the international level, it’s dropping bombs on a country because we want the leader of that country disposed.

Elected officials speak at Bonner County GOP meeting SANDPOINT – About 50 people attended the Bonner County Republican Central Committee Oct. 20 meeting held at the Panhandle Health Building in Sandpoint, according to John F. Weyant of Priest River.

Weyant is Precinct Committeeman for the Blue Lake Precinct.

Local and state elected officials spoke on current

issues, including state Rep. Heather Scott of Blanchard.

Scott discussed the difficulties her constituents sometimes face in navigating the many government agencies and with which she concerns herself on a daily basis, Weyant wrote in a media release about the meeting. She said she is working on several legis-

lative bills in preparation for the 2016 Legislative session.

Scott, like several of the speakers, volunteered at the Sandpoint Convoy of Hope event, held at the Bonner County fairgrounds in early October.

Some 15 churches and five job and career organizations participated, according to a post on the Sandpoint Convoy

A South Carolina School Resource Officer was fired last week after he flipped over a chair with a student in it and dragged her across the floor to handcuff and arrest her. The student had refused to give officials her cell phone or leave the room when asked.

Is it good for students to have law enforcement officers with arrest authority serving as school resource officers?

Yes, everybody is safer and students develop a relationship with the officer.

No, it leads to criminal records for students for discipline matters that would normally be handled by school officials.

BUDGET: Room for hiring some employees From Page 3A

equivalent of 154 fulltime workers in 2014 and 160 in 2015.

While there are 160 positions in the budget, that doesn’t necessarily mean departments will hire, Nichols said. In her office, she didn’t hire the part time person she had budgeted because she wasn’t sure the funding was there.

“I thought I was going

to lose funding, so I didn’t hire anyone,” she said. The money budgeted for the position but not spent went back to the general fund as part of the carryover.

Department heads have been appearing before county commissioners to explain their budgets.

to lead to more guns, abortions and drugs.

Another example is the federal government crackdown on prescription drug abuse. We now have a nationwide heroin epidemic because the people who can’t get prescription drugs have turned to heroin supplied by criminals. The use of bans represents an action or response that often makes the problem worse.

It’s often a simplistic approach to a complex issue or problem. Before voting on any law the lawmaker should ask a simple question. “Could this law make the problem worse or create harmful consequences?”

Our lazy approach to societal problems also cre-

ates enormous wasteful costs and crippling debt.

How are we paying for all our wars and military interventions in the Middle East? What is the cost of the police, courts and prisons to fight the failed war on drugs? Since it’s politically incorrect to raise taxes, we just print or borrow more money to pay for our laziness.

GRAFFITI: No apparent connection with white supremacy movement From Page 3A

Jainism and Odinism.

“Just kids with not enough to do, and now not even a Saturday night movie,” said Newport resident and landlord Ellen Bartel. A shed and fence adjacent to the apartments Bartel rents out were tagged with the graffiti.

“When they catch the kid, after he’s made to clean up the graffiti, they should sit him down for a viewing of Schindler’s List with conversation afterwards.”

Botzheim said that law enforcement had made no connection as of Oct. 29 whether the graffiti was rooted in an actual white supremacy movement,

since the vandalism seems to be random and not targeted at one specific person, or group of people.

“It appears to just be the work of juveniles,” Botzheim said, adding that the 15-year-old confessed to tagging the buildings.

According to Southern Poverty Law Center, Washington state has 13 active hate groups. Four of the groups are based in Seattle, and include black separatists, white nationalists and racist skinheads. East of the Cascades, extremist groups are mostly white supremacists.

In addition, Washington state has four separate neo-Nazi groups operating in Milton, Tacoma and Vancouver.

Bingo coming to Hospitality House School district revamps restraint, isolation policy

By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner

NEWPORT – With the passage of House Bill 1240, Washington schools no longer have the option to restrain or isolate special needs or autistic children except in limited circumstances.

With that in mind, Newport School District administrators are reexamining policy 3247, which allows certain staff in the district to implement restraint or isolation if a student poses a physical threat to themselves, their peers, or staff.

The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) has been tasked by the state Legislature to work in conjunction with school districts to improve existing policies after the bill passed in March 2015.

“There is still a process where isolation and restraint can be used, but you have to have an emergency crisis plan developed,” Special Services Coordinator Michele Hunt said. “What they haven’t done yet is outline what that looks like and what that entails. That’s what we’re waiting for.”

According to Newport School District’s existing policy, all students in the district, including those with an Individualized Education Program (IEP), an Aversive Intervention Plan (AIP) or a plan developed under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 will remain free from the unreasonable use of force.

Under federal law, special needs children must have an individual learning plan. In Washington, that plan can include isolating the student, binding his or her limbs together or tying the student to an object to rectify unruly behavior.

The staff applying the restraint to a student must also be trained in its safe application, according to OSPI. “Isolated time out,” means the confinement of a student in a timeout room or some other enclosure, whether within or outside the classroom, from which the student’s exit is restricted. The door must remain unlocked and the student must be monitored throughout the time out period.

Under House Bill 1240, which was sponsored by Seattle Democrat Rep. Gerry Pollet, plans can no longer include restraint or isolation as planned interventions. School districts may only use the interventions if the student poses an imminent risk of harm.

According to Hunt, the Newport School District

has implemented restraint and isolation techniques twice in the 2014-2015 school year. There have been no incidents thus far in the new school year.

“Of course, you have to have parent consent and there are new reporting requirements that go along with that,” Hunt said of the new rules.

“For example, you must report to the parents no later than 24-hours after restraint and/or isolation is used and you must report to OSPI annually concerning how many incidents occur, and they are required to post it on their website.”

Currently, there are no students in the district with AIP. The term “aversive interventions” means the use of isolation or restraint practices for the purpose of discouraging undesirable behavior on the part of the student, according to the Washington State Legislature website.

Hunt said she plans to have a revised policy to the Newport School Board for the Nov. 9 meeting.

OSPI has scheduled a public hearing on the proposed rule changes for Thursday, Nov. 12 at 1 p.m. at: OSPI, Old Capital Building, in the Brouillet Conference Room #430, Olympia. More information about the proposed rule changes, the public hearing, and how to submit comments can be found at http://www.k12. wa.us/SpecialEd/Rulemaking.aspx.

“It is extremely rare that these techniques are ever used, as it should be,” said Hunt.

Rep. Brad Klippert introduced amendments to the bill in order to give teachers more leeway, but both failed.

Lawmakers are also considering a bill that centers on positive interventions in the form of Senate Bill 5688. The bill would require the state OSPI to set social and emotional learning standards. As of Tuesday, Nov. 3, the bill has not made it out of the House Rules Committee for a floor vote.

The Road Division of Pend Oreille County sands and snowplows about 480 miles of maintained County Roads from three maintenance facilities: Newport(D1), Usk (D2) and Ione(D3). Road maintenance personnel provide snow and ice control services during the winter season. Equipment available includes: snowplows, sander trucks and graders. The road crews will work during normal work hours 6:00 am-2:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Snow and ice control priorities will be collector and school bus routes first, then to other roads as time permits.

We are encouraging everyone to prepare and plan ahead for winter driving conditions.

PLOWING

BERM ACROSS DRIVEWAY

Snow plowing of non-maintained County roads, easement/ private roads and driveways will not be performed by County crews.

The County’s primary objective is to keep all roads open for safe travel. Whenever possible the operators try to minimize the size of the snow berm across driveways and private roads. However, the blade can only hold so much snow. The County does not have the resources available to remove snow berms from driveways and private roads.

SANDING

SNOW STORAGE

The County uses sand mixed with road salt to improve traction on ice and to help the sand adhere to the road surface and prevent storage piles from freezing.

Whenever possible the snow is stored behind the ditch line on the right-of-way. After the initial plow out graders will return and push snow back with a wing blade making room to plow succeeding snowfalls when time permits.

THANK YOU

YOU CAN HELP

for defending

Winter road maintenance is expensive, dangerous and time consuming.

• Children love to watch snow removal operations- the large equipment, noise, lights and activity can be very exciting.

Although operators are glad to have people watch, everyone should be cautioned to stay a safe distance away. The concentration required for efficient snow removal combined with the noise and types of equipment used means the operator may not see small children close by and an accident could result.

Please encourage children not to build tunnels, forts or play in snow berms along the roadsides.

• Residents who remove snow from their driveways or sidewalks are reminded that State Law prohibits placing snow or ice on any public road or sidewalk in a manner that impedes vehicle or pedestrian traffic or makes it unsafe.

• If residents have vehicles parked on a roadway and there is a snowfall, please move it immediately. If you don’t it will most likely be bermed in and it will be your responsibility to shovel it out or the vehicle may be towed away if it creates a traffic hazard.

• Any snowplowing obstructions such as rocks, fences, or planters within the roads right of way, should be removed for winter. Not only can they be destroyed by snow removal

operations, they can do substantial damage to snow plows.

Owners of such obstructions are at risk should the County’s equipment by unnecessarily damaged.

• Please place garbage cans a least ten feet inside driveway from the roadway edge. This will prevent hitting them or operators having to veer around them and not completely plowing the route.

• Snow from resident’s property should not be stacked over the ends of culverts or drainage structures. Rapid warming cycles in winter could result in blocked ditches being unable to drain and local flooding could occur.

• Mail boxes are occasionally damaged during snow removal operations. Damage due to poor construction, such as rotting posts or improper location, will be the responsibility of the property owner/resident.

• Snow removal operations require the use of large, heavy, and noisy equipment used during periods of darkness usually accompanied by limited visibility caused by falling snow. Pend Oreille County operators are carefully trained and safety is stressed at all times. Drivers of automobiles should follow at a safe distance.

PLAN: Patients need to take action by Dec. 31 From Page 1

“Even though they received letters from CHPW, we are attempting to notify our Medicare Advantage patients so they can prepare for the change.”

Pend Oreille County residents with Medicare Advantage must take action by Dec. 31 to avoid losing prescription drug coverage.

Residents who lose the coverage will only have Original Medicare starting Jan. 1, 2016.

With Original Medicare, residents need to join a separate Medicare prescription drug plan to get prescription drug coverage (Prescription Part D Plan). Residents may also consider purchasing a Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy to fill in the gaps in Original Medicare coverage.

This will likely require a separate Medicare prescription plan if they want Medicare drug coverage.

This may affect changes to patient co-insurance due at the time of service.

Although Newport Hospital and Health Services is still a contracted

provider with Original Medicare, Original Medicare pays 80 percent, leaving the patient with a 20 percent coinsurance.

Spokane County residents using Newport Hospital and Health Services will still be able to purchase the Community HealthFirst Plan, but will only be able to use this plan for hospital services in Newport.

Rural Resources Community Action and Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) are hosting workshops to assist residents affected by Community Health Plan’s decision. The workshops will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17 and Friday, Nov. 20 at the Hospitality House, 216 S. Washington Ave., Newport.

Pend Oreille County residents who are unable to attend the workshops are encouraged to call Rural Resources Community Action at 800-873-5889 or 1-800-MEDICARE to receive assistance, or visit www.Medicare. gov. SHIBA representatives are also available to answer questions at 800-562-6900.

Marshall said. The tax money might be substantial. He said Klickitat County, with a population of 20,000 people, brought in $337,000 in tax money from marijuana and Skamania County, with a population of 11,000, brought in $87,000 on marijuana sales.

Skamania County is on the Oregon border.

Williams asked that the council consider reducing the distance a marijuana business has to be away from things like parks wherever they can.

Jacob Sattleen of Usk, who has the county’s only retail marijuana license from the state, spoke next.

His application for a conditional use permit for a store in Usk was tabled at last month’s county planning commission meeting.

He said he was considering the 420 building in Newport, located on Highway 2 on the south end of town.

He said he has a partner with a producer license.

(The building is referred to by its address, 420, because of the large numbers on its front.)

City attorney Tom Metzger explained that the city council had confined all marijuana businesses to industrial zoned property by the railroad tracks. He said it may be possible for city laws and regulations to be changed to allow the 420 building to be a retail marijuana space, but it was not going to be easy.

“You can’t rezone one building,” he said.

Joe Rammell of Bellevue spoke next. He said he was a board member of the Washington Marijuana Association with extensive experience in Washington’s marijuana industry.

Rammell had previously applied for a state retail marijuana license in Newport using the address of a building he didn’t have permission to use. Rammell said at the time that it was a mistake.

Monday night, he also told the council he was interested in the 420 building and had a fiveyear lease option on the building.

He said he wanted to turn it into a marijuana shop and wellness center.

He said the building was suited to that and was especially visible from both directions.

Rammell pointed out that with the recent closing of several downtown businesses, a wellness center could help revitalize downtown.

Rammell said he had

been working for two years to make a retail shop in the city of Newport work. He has an application in for a retail license, but without a business location, can’t get the state license.

One of the problems is Newport is small. There were hardly any places that weren’t within 1,000 feet of one of the many prohibited sites, such as schools, day cares and parks. Rammell said Newport has many parks.

“There are more postage stamp sized parks here than anywhere I’ve ever been,” he said. He said he didn’t think the 420 building was within 100 feet of the Gazebo Park. He asked if the Gazebo truly was a

city park, since he couldn’t find it listed as a park on the county’s tax rolls.

Council members assured him it was a city park.

Council member Sam Brooks asked Pend Oreille County Sheriff Alan Botzheim if the city’s proximity to Idaho would be a problem for his department.

Botzheim said no, that it was sort of like when the two states had different drinking ages years ago.

Council member Mark Zorica asked if there was any liability for a shop if someone drove into Idaho and got into a driving under the influence wreck.

Botzheim said it wasn’t

Mayor Shirley Sands expressed the most opposition to the idea of marijuana businesses. She said she didn’t trust legislators in Olympia to give the cities and counties marijuana money.

Newport season ends with 14-7 win

NEWPORT – The Newport Grizzlies football team played their last game of the season Friday night, Oct. 30, getting a 14-7 win over Northeast A League rival Riverside.

“The game went well,” Newport coach Zac Farnam said. As usual, the Grizzlies started slowly he said, and didn’t score until they were trailing 7-0. “We had to wait until the second half to score.” Farnam wasn’t on the sidelines at the game, as he had been ejected in the previous game against Chewelah and was ineligible (see related story). Riverside got on the scoreboard first, with a nine yard Trenton Fairbanks run in the second quarter. Newport went into the half down 7-0. Coming out of the half Jesse Reyes

scored a touchdown on a four-yard run in the third quarter, with a Kai Thomas kicking the extra point.

Newport went ahead in the fourth quarter on a two-yard Reyes run and the defense kept Riverside out of the end zone for the win.

The teams traded mistakes and triumphs in the foggy game, with mistakes – penalties and turnovers – hurting both teams.

Newport won the turnover battle, with three interceptions, two by Johnny Quandt and one by Tug Smith late in the game. In all, Riverside had four turnovers, the three interceptions and a fumble.

BOISE – Idaho rules require prospective wolf trappers to successfully complete a Wolf Trapper Certification course before they can purchase wolf trapping tags.

For those planning to trap wolves this winter, four courses are scheduled in November at Fish and Game offices throughout the state. All courses run from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

• Idaho Falls: Saturday, Nov. 7, Upper Snake Regional Office, 4279 Commerce Circle. Course is full. Sign up for the waiting list online to be notified if more seats become available.

• Nampa: Saturday, Nov. 14, Southwest Region Office, 3101 South Powerline Road • Jerome: Saturday, Nov. 14, Magic Valley Regional Office, 324 S. 417 E. Suite #1 • McCall: Saturday, Nov. 21, IDFG office, 555 Deinhard Lane The courses includes 6.5 hours of instruction including both classroom and field experience. Advance registration is required, and participants can register at the regional office or online at www.register-ed. com/programs/idaho/148-wolf-trapper-instructorled-course. For more information, contact the respective Fish and Game office. All courses are taught by experienced trappers, trained and certified to provide students with both classroom study and interactive, hands-on training. The courses covers a wide variety of topics including wolf biology, wolf behavior and management, wolf trapping techniques, proper care of a hide for maximum value and harvest reporting requirements. Course instructors and assisting Fish and Game staff have expertise in furbearer management, trapping laws and ethics, responsible trapping, proper equipment and trapping techniques.

On-site demonstrations in the field include making trap sets free of human scent, rigging snares, placing diverters to avoid non-target catches, and trap site selection. The registration fee is $8 per student. Those registering online by credit card will be charged an added convenience fee of $1.24. Registrants must be at least nine years of age to take the course. Students successfully completing the Wolf Trapper Certification course receive an Idaho Wolf Trapper Certification Card that enables them to purchase wolf trapping tags.

Certified wolf trappers may purchase up to five gray wolf trapping tags per trapping season.

Fish and Game also offers a general furbearer trapping class that is different from the Wolf Trapper Certification class. The general furbearer trapping class does not qualify people for the purchase of wolf trapping tags. When registering, be certain to sign up for the course you actually want to take.

Freshman Danny Bradbury grabs a pass for the Grizzlies in their last game of the season against Riverside Friday, Oct. 30.

Newport won 14-7.

NEWPORT – Grizzly football coach Zac Farnam didn’t attend the last game of the season Friday, Oct. 30, because he had been ejected from the Chewelah game the week before and was ineligible to coach for one game.

Farnam said in the last 11 seconds of the Chewelah game he was given a personal foul for being outside the coaching box.

When he heard from

his team that an official had called him a name, he went to confront the official about that and received another personal foul. Two personal fouls mean ejection and a game suspension, he said.

Farnam said he shouldn’t have been given a personal foul for being outside the coaching box. He should have been warned, he said.

All dispositions for the police reports are assumed to be active, assist or transfer at press time. The police reports are updated each weekday on The Miner Online.
