NEWPORT – Bullying and ostracism can sometimes dominate school culture, leaving many students feeling like outsiders. Newport High School (NHS) has made efforts to curb such an environment via the Breaking Down the Walls program, a “comprehensive program designed to unify, empower, and engage every student to create a positive and supportive campus climate,” according to the website,

BREAKING: We have seen a decline in discipline referrals FROM PAGE 1

www.learningforliving. com. Started in 1984 by public speaker Phil Boyte, Breaking Down the Walls is designed to encourage students and staff to foster an environment of caring and understanding through workshops and assemblies. Boyte spoke at Newport High School last school year, and the results have gone beyond feel-good oratory, NHS Principal Troy Whittle said. “Since the Breaking Down the Walls presentation, we have seen a noticeable decline in discipline referrals from what they were at this time last school year,” Whittle said. “We knew something felt different in terms of how students were behaving, but we didn’t just want to go with our perceptions; we wanted to look at the data.” At this time last year, Whittle said there were more than a dozen discipline referrals to his office, ranging from students fighting to classroom disobedience. Since the beginning of the 2015-16 school year, there has been a 64 percent reduction in discipline referrals. There has been a 67 percent reduction in the number of students that have received more than one discipline referral. “Last year, at around

this time, we had 105 discipline referrals,” Whittle said. “This year, we’ve only had 38. The number of students with more than one referral at this time last year went from 18 to six.” Whittle added that while Breaking Down the Walls wasn’t the “be-all and end-all” to solving all the school’s discipline and behavior issues, it has served as an impetus to make students more aware of their attitude and actions. According to Newport High School teacher and HOSA Advisor, Saraya Pierce Breaking Down the Walls has established a shared, positive experience that has served as a foundation for change for the school’s environment. “We experienced what it feels like to be part of a school community that is supportive and kind,” Pierce said. “The students seem more accepting and encouraging of one another in the hallways and the classrooms, but they are also expecting more from themselves and each other. I am seeing a dramatic increase in the number of students that are willing to step up in a variety of positive ways. They are encouraging each other to participate in activities, to do better in class, and advisory students are celebrating and supporting each other.”

Contact Whittle at 509-4472481 for more information. “The concept of being a ‘leader’ is no longer reserved for only those in athletics and extracurricular clubs,” Burnham said. “Students now recognize that they can lead in positive ways by being kind, fa ir, and valuing their own character and individual strengths.”

ballot, according to District CEO Tom Wilburn. “We’re really happy (with the results),” Wilbur said. “This is a very conservative county. We got 54 (percent) and change.” The $9 million bond needed a super majority of 60 percent approval among voters to pass. Out of a total of 3,200 voters who cast ballots, 1,755 approved the measure and 1,445 rejected it. It would be used to build a new assisted living facility to replace the current Newport Long Term Care, located adjacent to the hospital. The new facility would be built west of River Mountain Village, located on the corner of Spokane and Second streets in Newport. The board will have to officially decide in November to put the measure on February’s ballot, and that board has changed slightly. Terry Zakar unseated John Jordan 1,368 to 1,148. Zakar thanked those who voted for her. Jordan said his 17 years on the board have been an honor. “Our community is

fortunate to have an excellent group of health care providers and strong hospital leadership. I believe the new clinic building will be a tremendous asset and a continuation of the tremendous progress the hospital district has made over the past 20 years,” he said. The district is building a new clinic west of the hospital using reserves and a loan. The race for Cusick School Board went to write-in Mike Keogh, who received 297 votes. Eric Finley, who was on the ballot, received 231 votes. Eleven voters wrote in candidates other than Keogh. The race between incumbent Irv Kenney and Elliott “Dutch” Oedewaldt for a seat on Pend Oreille Fire District No. 5, was the closest in the election. Oedewaldt won 24-23. Of the 8,433 registered voters in Pend Oreille County, 4,122 ballots have been counted. Fifty are left to count, which will be done Nov. 23. Any ballot postmarked by Nov. 3 will be counted. Pend Oreille County had a 48.88 percent voter turnout, well above the 36.6 percent statewide voter turnout.

b r i e f ly Forest road gates opening soon in grizzly bear management units COEUR D’ALENE – As forest visitors take to the woods to hunt and/ or collect firewood, the Idaho Panhandle National Forests remind them that gates will be opened Nov. 16 in the Selkirk Mountains and Dec. 1 in the Purcell and Cabinet Mountains of the Idaho Panhandle National Forests’ North (Kaniksu) Zone. The difference in opening dates between the two areas is based on local research findings and provides additional habitat security for grizzly bears that have not yet denned. Gates will be opened as weather conditions and personnel availability allow. Members of the public traveling on national forest system lands are advised to obtain a free copy of the latest Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) or call their local Forest Service office to ensure their planned routes are open. For questions or more information on scheduled gate openings and recreation on the national forest contact your local Idaho Panhandle National Forests office. The Priest Lake Ranger Station can be reached at 208-443-6845.

Kayakers enjoy 7th Annual Tacoma Creek Interpretive Paddle By Stan Mrzygod

Editor’s note: This is reprinted with permission from the Spokane Kayak and Canoe Club.

CUSICK – A careful study of my past image files verified the fact that this was indeed the seventh running of the Tacoma Creek Interpretive Paddle. Further examination of the electronically archived images dating back to 2009 revealed a kaleidoscope of faces, paddlecraft, and paddling conditions. Each of the previous outings was unique in some way. Past trips featured dense smoke from forest fires, visitations from the mythical and mischievous Ogopogo, (resulting in upsets), record high water levels and other memorable incidents. The 2015 edition of the TCIP provided its own list of notable occurrences. For the first time ever, it rained. Secondly, the Pend Oreille River was experiencing near record low flows. Significantly more

American white pelicans were observed, many dozens of them. As another “first,” participants were treated to an extremely informative presentation from Ray Entz, the Wildlife and Cultural Resources Director for the Kalispel Tribe. He described the cultural significance of Manresa Grotto and pointed out symbols that the Native People had carved in the soft, conglomerate walls of the grotto. Multiple grooves from the sharpening of root-digging sticks were highlighted also. Ray mentioned that the Kalispels, a tribe of only 450 registered members, now employ 2,200 people to manage its gaming operations and 300 people their tribal governmental functions. Stan gave his usual talk on the geology of the Pend Oreille River Valley, past, present and future.

Man sentenced for jail vandalism, assault By Don Gronning Of The Miner

NEWPORT – A 22-yearold man was sentenced to 22 months for tearing a camera out of a cell and possessing a weapon while in jail. Thomas D. Gillock also received a suspended sentence of a year in jail for a fourth degree assault. He was sentenced in Pend Oreille County Superior Court by Judge Allen Nielson Thursday, Nov. 5. The statement of probable cause paints a picture of a brazen criminal. Gillock has felony convictions for motor vehicle theft, possession of a stolen vehicle, third degree assault and attempting to elude. According to the signed statement, Gillock approached a man who was trying to tow his recovered pickup, which had been stolen. “I’m Thomas Gillock and I’m the one who stole your truck,” the police report quotes him as telling the man. “I want my stuff out of the truck.” The man refused and Gillock went to the stolen truck and grabbed a chain and started swinging it at the man. The man wrestled Gillock to the ground but Gillock was able to kick him in

the head and break free and drive off. Gillock pleaded and was convicted of fourth degree assault for that incident. The jail reported vandalism and a weapon possession by Gillock on Oct. 6. According to the statement of probable cause, guards were conducting a cell search after discovering an unlocked door from two cells into the old jail office, where tools were stored. Corrections officers found a flat two-pronged piece of sharpened metal

and a sharpened screwdriver in Gillock’s cell. According to the sworn statement, Gillock was placed in a lockdown cell with a security camera. The video shows Gillock placing a piece of wet toilet paper over the lens and 13 minutes later a hand is shown pulling the camera off the wall, ending the video. Gillock was sentenced to 22 months for being an inmate in possession of a weapon and seconddegree criminal mischief for the weapons and video vandalism.

District. Dennis Schult provided wildlife commentary while Marty Robinson filled us in on water quality and environmental aspects, which the utility is involved in. Marty showed up for his seventh straight TCIP, even though he retired from POPUD last winter. Talk about dedication. Barb Kowalski amazed everyone by demonstrating a new and ingenious ferrying technique. And this was before anyone had indulged in Dennis’s home brewed beer. After the take-out most SCKC paddlers, now a trifle soggy from the rain, took advantage of Dennis’s generous offer to host a pot luck barbecue dinner on his deck overlooking the idyllic and slow flowing Pend Oreille River. The food, drink, camaraderie and scenery were absolutely spectacular. Another unique TCIP in the books.

Holidays looking bright this year

ike it or not, the holiday season is right around the corner. The Miner starts our annual holiday pages next week, and local organizations are in the final planning stages of various events this November and December. It’s shaping up to be an exiting holiday season in the Pend Oreille River Valley. The Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce is beefing up its holiday traditions this season. A Christmas tree lighting ceremony is in the works for the big tree in Centennial Plaza and Hometown Christmas will draw the young and old downtown to visit with Santa Claus. Newport Hospital and Health Services annual Festival of Trees is in full swing, with proceeds going to the healthy snack bag program benefitting kids from Cusick to Priest Lake and everywhere in between. Along with doing your holiday shopping at local businesses, be sure to check out the Stratton Elementary Craft Fair and Create Arts Center is bringing back its artists shop. In Priest River, the chamber and Lions Clubs are again hosting Christmas on Mainstreet, where kids can play games, win prizes and visit with Santa, while the whole family can enjoy hot cocoa and hot food. Down River, Deck the Falls in Metaline Falls and enjoy live music by local musicians and students during the annual Jazz on a Winter’s Night. Details of all these events will be in the pages of The Miner in coming weeks. Take the time this season to enjoy your hometown. -MCN

There are those who aren’t as fortunate Good day, gracious reader. Please bear with me as we delve into subject matter near and dear to my heart. It’s rather weighty, but I’ll attempt to keep the emotive impedimenta to a minimum for all our sakes S o p h i E ’ s (especially CHOICE my ediSophia tor’s). aldous There is much to be thankful for in the advent of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, inter-sex (LGBTI) rights here in the United States. After all, when we talk about citizens being treated as equal under our laws and constitution, we’re talking about us, ourselves, as a collective nation. Perhaps that’s idealistic of me, but I’d prefer to err on that side than the alternative. Yes, there’s still a ways to go in terms of perpetuated societal perceptions about what it means to be an LGBTI person, but those shifts in comprehension don’t happen overnight, and the strides that have been made in the last decade by activists is something we can be pleased with. In an article published in July, the Pew Research Center revealed that in Pew Research polling in 2001, Americans opposed same-sex marriage by a 57 percent to 35 percent margin. Since then, support for same-sex marriage has

steadily grown. Based on polling in 2015, a majority of Americans (55 percent) support same-sex marriage, compared with 39 percent who oppose it. Unfortunately, there are still at least 76 countries where homosexuality is considered a crime, never mind the concept of them being granted marital rights. Punishments range from hard labor, prison time, forced psychiatric treatment and even death. (Check out http://76crimes.com for more information). When I revealed my bisexuality to my community in a column last year, the most wonderful thing happened: nothing. A few people lent their support, for which I am grateful, but on the whole, nobody cared. It was great! It’s a blessing that I’ve never had to experience prejudice due to my sexual preference. Yes, I’ve gotten the occasional rude comment, but on the whole, no affronts that can’t be brushed off. However, I realize how privileged I am to be a white, blonde haired, blue-eyed woman in the USA who also likes men (not much of a threat to the status quo, in other words). Sadly though, people somewhere in the world, right now, who are being discriminated against for no other reason than they identify as LBGTI, and have to hide who they are in fear of reprisal. There are those who aren’t in such propitious positions as myself. To them, may we lend our support, or at the very least, our tolerance.

yo u r o p i n i o n Profit motif suspect for community hospital To the editor, Recently CEO Tom Wilber announced management at Newport Hospital was going to hire EmCare, a corporation to provide Emergency Room, Acute Care coverage and take clinic calls. This move would eliminate jobs for our Physician Assistants currently covering the ER. More and more this is becoming a trend for small hospitals who can not recruit doctors into their community. Our limited physician numbers are forcing our local doctors to take 24 hour calls for the hospital as well as their clinic. I have many concerns regarding this plan. Obviously the first is the loss of jobs to a for profit corporation. This decision has potential to change Newport Hospital’s whole

mindset of care. You must remember foremost this is a for profit corporation and that will drive all their decisions. I do not feel all options have been explored to find a solution to find a way to relieve our family practice doctors. I do not understand the urgency to sign this contract. I encourage you to call the members of the hospital board to find out what options have been pursued. Next year our surgeon will be retiring. It has been as difficult to find a surgeon as it has family practice doctors. EmCare can provide surgical services and anesthesiology. If this occurs we essentially are no longer a rural hospital. All your hospital care will be essentially provided by a for profit corporation. Given this option, let’s court the Providence system (Sacred Heart) which is a non-profit

corporation. Again you must remember a “for profit” corporation is For Profit. I do not want to pay taxes to support a for profit corporation. I feel a diverse committee with representation from the community, business, hospital management, doctors, PACs can explore different options and come up with a solution. Again if you care about your local hospital call, or contact the hospital board members and let your voice be heard. Doris Hiebert RN at Newport Hospital since 1980

Enjoying the Aldous column To the editor, I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy reading Sophia Aldous’ columns. She is a great writer with a young and fresh perspective, and she has a great sense

Surprised hospital bond got support in conservative county To the editor, I was surprised to see the hospital bond levy get 54 percent in good old conservative Pend Oreille County. It looks like some conservative Republicans voted for a socialist tax levy for old people that need assisted living. They apparently set aside their normal arguments that they shouldn’t vote to help undeserving welfare class of people who abused their bodies See letters, 5A

Legal problems facing Washington’s poorest families triple in last decade SEATTLE – A Washington Supreme Court-commissioned statewide survey of more than 1,600 low-income Washingtonians discovered that seven of 10 low-income individuals and families in the state face at least one significant civil legal problem each year, and the average number of problems per low-income household has tripled over the last decade. Despite the growing number of civil legal problems that often implicate their most basic needs, the vast majority of low-income Washingtonians do not receive the legal help they need to solve these problems. More than threequarters of those with civil legal problems struggle without a lawyer or any type of legal help.

The survey, conducted by Washington State University, is the most methodologically rigorous assessment of civil legal problems ever conducted nationwide. The results indicate nearly a half million Washington residents who live in poverty suffer because they are unable to find help with their civil legal problems such as access to healthcare, consumer finance and debt collection, and employment related issues. Low-income persons of color, victims of domestic violence or sexual assault, persons with disabilities and youth experience substantially higher rates of legal problems than the general low-income population. “We must recognize the consequences of a system of justice in

our state that denies a significant portion of our population the ability to assert and defend their core legal rights. We can and we must do better,” said former state Supreme Court Justice Charles K. Wiggins, chairman of the Civil Legal Needs Study Update Committee. Washington currently has just one state-funded legal aid attorney for every 11,628 eligible residents, which is less than half the nationally recognized minimal level of service of one legal aid attorney for every 5,000 eligible low-income residents. “We now have greater clarity than ever that we’re witnessing the erosion of the proud AmeriSee legal, 5A

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

The city of Houston rejected an ordinance last week that would have banned discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. In the state of Washington, LGTB citizens, (lesbian, gay, transsexual and bi-sexual) are a protected class, meaning it is illegal to discriminate against them based on their sexual orientation or identity. In Idaho, they are not protected. Should LGTB citizens be a protected class? Yes. No.

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

can principle of Justice for All,” says former United States Attorney John McKay. “We’re standing at a point in our history with the information to defend the rights of those who are most vulnerable. This report allows us not just to see the problem, but act for a solution.” The 2015 Washington State Civil Legal Needs Study Update follows a similar study published by a Washington State Supreme Court task force in 2003. In response to the 2003 study, the Washington State Legislature increased capacity to address the civil legal problems of low-income Washingtonians by devoting more resources and establishing an agency to administer and oversee the state

investment in civil legal aid. Based on this 2015 Civil Legal Aid Update, the Equal Justice Coalition believes the state should recommit to closing Washington’s Justice Gap by taking the following steps: 1. More than double the number of statefunded Civil Legal Aid attorneys 2. Expand the level of volunteer attorney involvement in the delivery of essential civil legal aid services 3. Build awareness of legal aid services in lowincome communities The Equal Justice Coalition is a non-partisan organization of civil legal aid providers, funders, and supporters who

with drinking, smoking and eating too much. Or thinking why didn’t those people save their own money to pay for their assisted living? How could we expect hard working conservatives to redistribute their income to people who led an unproductive or careless life? Ayn Rand must be turning over in her grave. On the other hand, we live in a society and community where it shouldn’t be necessary to wreck your body and health working for 30 years. If you make it to old age, you should be able to live out your life with dignity. That requires some degree of socialism and associated taxes to care for people of the community that are in need of help. That means some mixture of Christian principles and compassionate conservativism. My only beef with conservatives that voted for the hospital levy is that they continue to oppose the growth of our community, which makes the payment for social programs more costly for a shrinking number of property taxpayers. The best way to fund

through education and advocacy work to obtain sufficient public funding for vital legal services for low-income Washingtonians. The EJC is running an awareness campaign “Justice For All” to highlight the importance of civil legal aid and share the findings of the 2015 Washington State Civil Legal Needs Study Update. Commissioned by the Washington Supreme Court, this study documents the type, substance, and prevalence of civil legal problems that lowincome Washingtonians face, the degree to which low-income people are able to access legal help, and the effectiveness of legal aid when accessed. The study was conducted by a 12-member Civil Legal Needs Study Update Committee appointed by the Washington Supreme Court in 2012. The study was produced by Washington State University’s Social and Economic Sciences Research Center.

projects like the assisted living center is having a wider range of taxpayers. A healthy community doesn’t have old people dying in the streets in front of $300,000 homes. Average income people can’t afford a five-acre country estate even if they live in a mobile home. Smaller lot sizes equal more taxpayers and less cost per taxpayer for social programs. -Pete Scobby Newport

A pre bid meeting with contractors and sub contractors for work on the fish passage was well attended at the Box Canyon Dam Tuesday, Oct. 27.

PUD out to bid on Box Canyon fish passage work METALINE – Following years of biological fish studies, hydraulic modeling, and engineering, the Pend Oreille Public Utility District is out to bid for an upstream fish passage at Box Canyon Dam. A prebid site visit at Box Canyon was held Oct. 27. As part of its FERC license for Box Canyon Dam, the PUD is required

to provide upstream fish passage for three target species: Bull Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Mountain Whitefish. The upstream trap-and-haul type fishway will consist of a fish ladder, auxiliary water supply pump station, pre-sort holding pool, and a sorting facility. Target fish will be identified, measured,

and tagged before being released upstream. Due to limited construction seasons associated with river flow conditions, construction of the fish passage will require a two-year schedule. The bid opening is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 7, with an expected contract award date of Dec. 15.

Employment Security’s new website for unemployment claimants

OLYMPIA – Job seekers receiving unemployment benefits in Washington can now access certain information about their claims on their computers or mobile devices. The Washington Employment Security Department debuted a new website that the agency believes will provide answers to many common questions and save claimants the trouble of calling the agency’s claims center for that information. “Unemployment insurance claimants can see how much they’ll be paid, whether we’ve processed their payment and more information by visiting our new website,” Employment Security Commissioner Dale Peinecke said. The site is available at www.secure. esd.wa.gov or from a link on the agency’s main website at www.esd.wa.gov. Claimants will sign in with a SecureAccess Washington (SAW) account. SAW allows users to log onto multiple Washington state government websites using a single login and password. During the regis-

tration process, claimants will need to provide an email address and answer questions to verify their identity. Once logged on, they will be able to see a variety of information including: · Details about their benefits including the weekly benefit amount, maximum benefits they will receive, how many dollars and weeks they’ve been paid so far and how many remain. · Payment history including the date they were paid, any deductions such as IRS or child support withholdings and the payment method (check, benefits card or direct deposit including the bank name). · Their quarterly wages and hours as reported by Washington employers. If a claimant has no reportable wages, they will receive a document with a disclaimer that no wages have been reported. This sort of information is frequently requested by Washington residents applying for public assistance programs. · The address of their local WorkSource center, if they live in Washington.

Lots besides football at last home game

he last home football game of the year Oct. 30 turned out to be an exciting victory for Newport over Riverside, but aside from the action on the field, there were plenty of other things going on.

The band, decked out in Halloween garb, played songs to entertain the crowd and at halftime the young cheerleaders from the Mini Griz Cheer Camp performed. The Mini Griz camp is being revived after a couple years’ hiatus. Some 48 youngsters age 5-12 participated. Another camp will be held before the basketball season.

Eye-opening vision tips As you age, your eyes undergo natural changes year after year, making ongoing attention to your eye health an important aspect of your overall wellbeing. The importance of ongoing eye care is a lesson champion wide receiver Victor Cruz learned young and learned well. “When I was young my mom made sure that I went to all my annual vision tests and had my eyes checked numerous times just to make sure I was up to date,” Cruz said. “I had to make sure my

Sunday

vision was right because I was an athlete playing multiple sports and she wanted to make sure that my vision was taken care of first and foremost.” In fact, the eyes are a good indicator of overall health. Trouble with your vision can be a red flag regarding eye health. In addition, according to the American Optometric Association, a range of signs of illnesses can be detected through an eye examination, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and even rare hereditary diseases.

The World Health Organization, among other health authorities, asserts that more than 80 percent of vision problems can be prevented, treated or cured. Here are five easy tips for taking care of your eyes from the experts at Alcon, a global leader in eye care: Schedule routine eye exams. Your eye doctor will advise you on how regularly you should have an eye exam. This will vary based on your age, health, family history and whether you wear glasses or

contact lenses. According to the American Optometric Association, most healthy people over 6 years of age should have an eye exam every 1-2 years. Ask for comfort when choosing lenses. If you need corrective contact lenses, recognize that advances have been made in contact lens technology and ask your eye doctor which product may be right for you. For example, DAILIES TOTAL1® contact lenses are the first and only contact lenses with water-gradient technology.

Cusick, the rodeo at Newport, art groups, water sports, and outdoor activities,” she writes in the last paragraph of the introduction. “The mountains, lakes and river lure tourists, businesses, and those who appreciate quiet rural living in Pend Oreille County.” McClenny is a volunteer researcher at the Pend Oreille County Historic Society. “That’s my other address,” she jokes. She says the museum was approached last January about doing the book. Since she knew the sub-

ject matter well from her research work and she has experience writing, she seemed like a natural for the project. “They contacted (museum director) Duane (Becker) and were interested in having someone do a pictorial book about Pend Oreille County,” McClenny said. Becker had written a similar book about Mount Spokane. She raised her hand and found herself producing a book. It’s not the first writing McClenny has done. She collaborated on a children’s booklet with fifth grade teacher Mike Meade titled “Kid’s History of Pend Oreille

County.” She has also written for several area publications and finished a 200-page family history. “My mother and grandmother started it and I finished it,” says McClenny. The publisher of her new book kept her to a tight deadline. “I would be up at 4 a.m. in the morning sometimes writing,” she says. “There were deadlines all along the way.” She had a pretty good idea of what images she wanted to use but they had to have captions. “They had to be at SEE BOOK, 10A

he wanted to enlist. He had to wait a year until he was old enough, but as soon as he was able he joined the U.S. Air Force. He spent time in basic training and then ended up in survival and rescue. “It had a high wash out rate,” Moran remembers. Of the 29 men who started only 15 completed the training. Moran had a knack that didn’t go unnoticed. “I graduated at the top of my class and got stuck as an instructor,” he says. He eventually got out on rescue missions, more than a few of them. He served at various locations around the world. “I crossed the Pacific Ocean 12 times,” he says. He served 10 years of special duty in Vietnam. He met his wife, Doreen, when he was stationed in North Dakota. “She was working at a restaurant I used to go to,” he remembers. Moran says the rescue missions could get dangerous. “I heard the angels sing more than a few times,” Moran said. He was a no-nonsense airman. He remembers one time he was rescuing a well connected scientist who complained about his demeanor.

built.” Wilbur says that Moran’s endorsement isn’t guaranteed. “He does a lot of digging,” Wilbur said. Moran will make officials explain their rational and quizzes them on details of the spending. “He’s a protector of the taxpayer,” Wilbur says. But once you’ve explained your project in detail and he gets behind it, you’re pretty well vetted with his supporters. “He has the faith of the people,” Wilbur said. “They know he’s looked into it.” Moran’s attention to detail probably comes from his time in the service. He served three decades in the U.S. Air Force, worked in survival and rescue, teaching survival skills part of the time and working on rescues part of the time. Norris Boyd was a Captain in the Air Force when Moran came to Fairchild Air Force Base. Boyd says Moran rose to the rank of Master Chief, the highest non commissioned officer rank. “If you make the highest enlisted rank, you’re one of the best,” Boyd said. “There’s only a few of them at a time in the Air Force.” Boyd says Moran was a good instructor. “I would say Bob was an excellent trainer,” Boyd said. “He was firm and business like. I think the best word for him is professional.” Moran, 80, joined the Air Force in 1954. He grew up in southeast Missouri, where he learned his way around the woods. “I loved working in the woods,” he said. When his older brother was shot down in the Korean conflict, Moran decided

Moran had a few choice words and got the man out. Moran was put in for a Meritorious Service medal for his actions. The day the paperwork for the medal arrived, another set of papers arrived, ones calling for a court martial for his treatment of the scientist. “I didn’t get the medal but I didn’t lose a stripe either,” he said.

He remembers one time in Thailand in 1959 when he and another airman went out with a Thai national who had a radio. Moran suspected the Thai as being a spy and grabbed the radio as the man took off. Moran slung the backpack radio on his back and ran himself, with bullets hitting the radio as he made his escape. He was missing for 18 days. After six days the U.S. Air Force sent somebody to tell his parents he was likely dead, but they didn’t believe him. Moran used all his skills to escape. He spent quite a bit of time in the river evading capture. “That was a hell of an ordeal,” he said. Eventually he walked out of the water into a village, where he waived down a taxi driver. He was lucky he got a ride, he said. “I was scary,” Moran says. “My clothes were rotting off me and I had an 18 day growth of beard.”

Dog Boarding Training Grooming LuckyUsRanch L ch ch 509-447-3541

He made it out alive and back to the U.S., where he eventually married Doreen. They have two adult children, Alice and Jody. The Morans moved to Pend Oreille County in 1984, after Bob retired. He almost immediately got involved in local politics. He joined the Pend Oreille County Taxpayers Association, eventually becoming head of the organization. He also was involved in GOP politics, serving as the Pend Oreille County Chairman of the Republican Party for 12 years. These days he is retired, trying to take care of his health and promote veterans. He’s a cancer survivor and has had heart trouble in recent years. Looking back on his decades of military service, you get the impression he wouldn’t trade it for anything. “It was really an awesome experience,” he said.

Discovery Place, Spokane Valley Saturday, Nov. 14, from 8 a.m. to noon. The hands-on portion of the class will take place that afternoon from 1-4 p.m. at the Spokane Gun Club located at 19615 E. Sprague, in Greenacres. Participants in the afternoon session will learn to pattern shotguns and will review firearm choices and tactics for turkey hunting.

ODESSA – The saying that eight man football is like a track meet in pads was pretty close to being proven when the Selkirk Rangers ran past Entiat 90-56 in the district playoff offs Friday, Nov. 6. “It was definitely an exciting game with a lot of points put on the board,” Selkirk coach Kelly Cain said. “Entiat is very fast and put us back on our heels to begin with.” Entiat scored first on an eight-yard run, en route to running up a 34-14 first quarter lead. Two turnovers in the first quarter didn’t help the Ranger’s cause. “Our guys did a great job of just hanging in there and continuing to work,” Cain said. “I was very proud of their resiliency. We talk all the time about focusing on the process and not worrying about the product. If we can focus on the process the product will follow.” The product appeared in the second quarter when the Rangers scored 36 points taking a 50-40 lead into halftime. “Our physicality wore them down,” Cain said.

Offensively the Rangers stayed with the formula that has been working for them all season long – running the ball and trying to be more physical than their opponent.

‘Our physicality wore them down.’ Kelly Cain

Selkirk Head Coach

The Rangers racked up 412 yards on 56 carries resulting in seven touchdowns on the ground. Complementing the running attack was a very efficient passing game. “We only threw six times, but we completed five of them, three of them for TDs,” Cain said. All three passing TDs came on fourth down. On defense the Rangers capitalized on Entiat’s five turnovers scoring directly on two of them. “Defensively we were very opportunistic,” Cain said. Calvin Petrich rushed for two touchdowns and threw for three more, Stephen Avey scored four touchdowns, See selkirk, 48

The Griz took the final game 15-13 for the win. “Deer park played us really tough, we really had to battle for that win,” coach Stratton said. “We weren’t passing well early. Once we turned that around we were able to take care of the ball and put it down.” Hadley Stratton finished the match with 35 kills, 26 digs and six blocks. Lauren Vaughn had 40 assists and four aces in the win. The loss eliminated Deer Park from the tournament and sent Newport won to play Freeman. “It was also a fun match. We played well, had the lead several times – just couldn’t keep it with too many errors,” Stratton said. Although the Scotties won in three sets, each of the games were close, with Freeman winning 25-23, 25-19, 25-23. See newport, 48

Pend Oreille Festival Association to re-organize, re-vitalize By Billie Martin, President Pend Oreille Festival Association 2015

NEWPORT – The Lavender Festival is seeking new leadership. The Pend Oreille Festival Association is the organization that facilitates the Pend Oreille Valley Lavender Festival, held each July in Newport. Many of the current board members and volunteers have been serving for several years. Over the past year, the board has solicited feedback about the Lavender Festival from members, volunteers, business associates, attendees and the general public and the board believes it is time for new leadership to inject new ideas into the festival.

The Pend Oreille Festival Association was created to promote educational, cultural, commercial and tourist activities and to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit of artists, artisans and growers by showcasing their products and talents. Those who have served the association are ready to pass the duties on to some new members and volunteers in order to re-organize and re-vitalize the association and the festival. To accomplish this re-organizing goal, there will be a public meeting Saturday, Nov. 21, at 3 p.m. at the Create Arts Center on 4th and Fea in Newport. The meeting will be facilitated by Dixie Chichester of the WSU Extension and

there will be current board members available to answer questions. At that time, prospective new board members and/or volunteers may sign up to be nominated to the board or serve as a volunteer. All are welcome – those new to the area, those familiar with the Association and Festival, or those who have worked with the Association or Festival in the past. Please consider being involved in the Pend Oreille Festival Association to promote the purposes originally set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and fulfill a need in the Pend Oreille Valley region. For further information or questions, please call Billie Martin at 509991-4587.

Visitor center volunteers always wanted NEWPORT – At the end of 2014, Jack O’Dea stopped by the Newport Area Visitor Center looking for information about the area. As soon as he was aware of the need for volunteers he quickly stepped up. “Since then he has been a reliable and consistent volunteer, serving a minimum of two hours each week in addition to volunteering to complete additional projects,” said Glennis Stott, visitor center volunteer coordinator. O’Dea moved to Blanchard in December 2012, from Kettle Falls after retiring from Colville Bureau of Indian Affairs Forestry Department in Colville. He said the reason he enjoys working at the center is because he has learned about the variety of services, shopping, and recreation this area has to offer that he wasn’t previously aware of. “Jack is a fun-loving, honest, and sincere person and is a great pleasure to work with and be around,” Stott said. All volunteers were recognized recently at a volunteer appreciation lunch at Kelly’s Restaurant in Newport. They were presented with “coffee tokens” donated by Nomad Coffee and Union Street Perk. Marla Moss and Kamie Poncho received the “Widow’s Mite Award” for giving of their already limited time. Warren Weber and Terry Johnson were awarded their “100 hours of service” pins. A small and dedicated team of volunteers serve the Newport Area Visitor Center. The center continues to seek additional volunteers, and offers extremely flexible hours. Contact Stott at 509-671-7134 for information.
