Much unknown on marijuana legalization

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – For about a week now, adults 21 and older in Washington have been legally able to possess up to an ounce of marijuana, a result of Initiative 502, which voters approved last month. Pend Oreille County voters narrowly rejected the

initiative.

Legal marijuana in Washington is not totally new. For years people with medical conditions have been able to use and grow marijuana in Washington, which is one of 18 states where medical marijuana is legal.

Gleaming streets before the snow This was the scene in Newport last Tuesday, Dec. 4, after a rain and before this week’s snow. The Christmas lights give a holiday feel, but for many it doesn’t seem like Christmas in Pend Oreille County without snow. The county is on track for a white Christmas, however, with snow predicted.

Nearly a dozen vie for Morton’s Senate seat

BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – So far, 11 candidates have stepped forward to vie for the Seventh District Senate seat of Bob Morton, RKettle Falls, who announced he will retire Jan. 1. Another two or three are expected to join the race before Saturday’s meeting in Colville where precinct com-

mittee officers from around the district will meet to narrow it down to three candidates.

PCOs will vote by secret ballot at the meeting, planned for Saturday, Dec. 15 at 1 p.m. at Colville High School, 217 Hofstetter Road. Their selection will go to county commissioners of the Seventh District. The commissioners – three from each Pend Oreille, Stevens, Ferry,

Okanogan and Spokane counties – are set to meet Jan. 3 in Colville to decide with a majority vote.

Of the 15 commissioners, eight will be newly elected, having just been sworn in to office.

The new Seventh District Senator will be part of the majority coalition. There are 26 Democrats and 23 Republicans currently. This week, some

Democrats announced a plan to create a bipartisan coalition with two Democrats joining the Republican bloc to give them the 25-vote majority.

“It’s the first time (Republicans) have had any kind of majority in the Senate for a long time,” said Norris Boyd, chairman of the Pend Oreille County

NEWPORT – After a few inches of snow came Friday and cold weather settled in over the weekend, area roads are icy and slick. There were six slide-offs reported on highways in Pend Oreille County Friday as the snow came down. Drivers reported icy roadways Tuesday morning.

County snow removal crews upped their response to deal with the ice. Since Saturday, they’ve been starting work an hour earlier, at 5 a.m.

“The extra hour gives us a head start to get our sand out before people start commuting,” public works director Sam Castro said.

The snow came later in the season this year, giving road crews more time to finish construction projects. The county sets aside about $750,000 for snow removal operations, which also includes mining sand. Castro said they’re in good shape budget-wise. The snow removal budget hasn’t suffered any cuts.

The county is planning to line up some on-call plow operators to help out in case of any winter emergencies. The department is down by one employee, who took a position elsewhere. That position will remain open for the coming year, but Castro said they may be able to replace the full time person in 2014.

Chamber moves toward self-sustainment 2013 budget doesn’t include executive director grant

BY MICHELLE NEDVED OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – The Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce approved its 2013 budget Tuesday, Dec. 4. The chamber has budgeted $40,900 in revenue next year, without the grant administered by Barb Smith and her husband Phil Gordon. Smith and Gordon gave the chamber $25,000 for two years to pay for

a full-time executive director.

Smith explained at the meeting Tuesday that the grant is no longer needed. The chamber has increased its membership revenue from about $12,000 in 2010-11 to a projected $22,000 in 2013. The chamber changed its fee structure. Instead of charging membership fees based on a member’s number of employees, fees are based on how much the chamber benefits the member. Different levels of membership are available.

Other revenue budgeted from chamber events, totaled $16,350. This is without the Newport Rodeo vendor fees, carnival and beer garden. Events such as the Bowling Bash, Chamber Gala and Poker Paddle make up the revenue, 2013 president Steve Shumski said.

Last year, the chamber made a net of $17,050 on events, including the rodeo carnival and beer garden. Insurance for the rodeo cost $500. Shumski is unsure if that includes insurance for the

|| Shumski named Newport chamber president NEWPORT – Steve Shumski of the Newport School District will serve as president of the Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce in 2013. He replaces president Barb Smith who will now serve as treasurer.

Vice president is Shawna Beese-Bjurstrom of the Newport Hospital District.

Shumski Secretary is Mark Zorica of Country Lane.

Other directors are Robin McCroskey, who is new to the board, Donna Molvik, Rob Owen, Mike Manus, Jason Thompson and Randy Pymm. McCroskey is

The chamber made $1,084 on the beer garden last year, down about $600 from the previous year. The carnival and vendor space leases made $1,300 for the chamber, down a bit from the previous year. The local nonprofits that set up booths in the area where the Paradise Amusement carnival had been located in past years made $3,000, according to Shumski.

One marriage certificate issued for same sex couple NEWPORT – One same sex couple was issued a marriage certificate in Pend Oreille County within the last week. The couple applied Thursday morning, Dec. 6, the first day the state began issuing marriage license to gay couples. They declined to be interviewed.

Auditor Marianne Nichols said it was neat to be part of a historical event.

Statewide, auditors’ offices issued fewer licenses

than they had anticipated, Nichols said. She said there was a bigger run locally for couples wanting to get married on Dec. 12, 12-12-12.

By the end of the day Thursday, the state had issued 836 certificates to same sex couples. Having opened after midnight, King County issued 489 certificates that day, but did not indicate how many were same sex couples. Spokane issued 23, and there were none issued in Stevens or Ferry counties.

Gay marriage is legal in nine states but banned in 31 state constitutions. The Supreme Court is considering California’s ban on same sex marriage and federal benefits for legally married gay couples. The court will decide if marriage is a constitutional right available to both gay and straight couples.

NEWPORT – The Colville National Forest has temporarily closed two popular groomed snowmobile routes in Pend Oreille County for the season. The Cee Cee Ah Creek Road portion of the Kings Lake groomed snowmobile route system will be closed this winter due to a large washout in the road. The LeClerc Creek Road portion of the Paupac groomed snowmobile route system will be closed due to heavy log truck traffic.

“These two popular routes are only a portion of the many groomed snowmobile routes in the area that snowmobilers can enjoy in Pend Oreille County. I would encourage visitors to look at the other nearby groomed snowmobile route opportunities on the Washington State Parks website,” said Gayne Sears, district ranger for the Newport and Sullivan Lake districts.

Cee Cee Ah Creek Road (Forest Road 1920) suffered a large washout from storm damage on the upper portion of the road. The failure has resulted in an unsafe condition that narrows the road considerably and makes the remaining roadbed unstable. The normal grooming operations for the route will not be completed this year and there is a barricade 9.4 miles up the road.

While the road up to the barricade

na has never been all right with the federal government. Federal law says there is no medical use for marijuana – that it is in the same class of drug as heroin – and that it is illegal under federal law.

The federal government has largely left medical marijuana users alone. According to U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkin in Seattle, the federal Department of Justice is considering its options in light of I-502.

“The Department’s responsibility to enforce the Controlled Substances Act remains unchanged,” she wrote in a statement. Regardless of changes to state law, “growing, selling or possessing any amount of marijuana remains illegal under federal law.”

She also reminds people that it is against federal law to bring any amount of marijuana onto federal property including all federal buildings, national parks and forests, military installations, and courthouses.

But federal law enforcement isn’t particularly interested in arresting marijuana users.

Allen Nielson is now a Pend Oreille County Superior Court Judge, but he worked as Ferry County prosecutor for 18 years, from 1983 to 1997.

“Federal prosecutors have an

will remain open for public use, it will not be groomed or plowed and areas to turn around are limited.

The Forest Service portion of the Middle Fork LeClerc Creek Road, the Hanlon Cutoff Road, and the Forest Service portion of the East Branch LeClerc Creek Road are closed to public access to ensure public, contractor and employee safety.

This LeClerc area closures have been put into place due to extensive log truck traffic combined with narrow roads, limited pullouts, and winter driving conditions. The closure will take effect immediately and will remain in effect until conditions are safe for public use and the closure order is terminated.

The Pend Oreille County portions of these roads will remain open to public use. Access to residents that live off these Forest Service roads will not be restricted.

CHAMBER | Collaboration another goal FROM PAGE 1

Organization of the rodeo’s outside event, such as collecting fees for vendors to set up and the beer garden, are now under the direction of the Newport/Priest River Rotary Club. The chamber asked them to take it over.

Shumski said he believes that is a better fit than the chamber running the outside attractions.

The rodeo grounds are owned by the city of Newport but operated by the Newport Rodeo Association under a written agreement. The association has historically approved of the chamber organizing the outside

events for them.

Rotary Club president Ken Schueman said he is meeting with the Rodeo Association soon to discuss this year’s event.

The chamber budgeted $2,400 from grants, and $150 in miscellaneous revenue.

On the expense side, payroll for executive director Valorie Hein totals $25,500. Insurance costs $3,000, operations $9,200 and equipment, maintenance and utilities cost $3,200.

Shumski said the chamber would like to find a way to staff the visitors center full time.

Money from the .09 funds and the hotel/motel tax could help

with that. He wants to create an ambassador program where anyone who works the visitors center knows all there is to know about the area.

Shumski would also like to see the executive director get out and meet with businesses to make sure everyone is getting what they need from the chamber.

Shumski’s other goal is to collaborate with other groups, such as the Rotary Club, and the city of Newport, to help with community events. He would rather see collaboration between groups than have the chamber in charge of all of the events.

Newport School board approves union agreement

BR I E FLY Renewable energy topic of hearing NEWPORT – As part of a state requirement under a law passed in 2006, there will be a public hearing to review clean energy resources. The Pend Oreille Public Utility District board will hold the hearing during its regular meeting Tuesday, Dec. 18 at 11 a.m. at the Newport offices.

The board will get a review of the PUD’s current and future customer loads and its mix of power sources to serve those needs.

A recent report by the Northwest Resource Adequacy Forum found that within the next five years the region may need an additional 350 megawatts of new generation or added efficiency, about the output of a single, mediumsize power plant.

According to the analysis, one reason the Northwest will need additional resources is the uncertainty arising from changes in California’s energy market. As that state attempts to meet more of its growing summer loads with solar energy and demand response, and as new environmental regulations lead to the retirement of some generating plants, there may be less power available for export to the Northwest in the future, particularly in winter.

NEWPORT – The board of directors for the Newport School District approved a contract for the district’s 29 classified employees, including custodians, kitchen workers and secretaries.

Contract negotiations started later this year than the district would have liked, said district business manager Tom Crouch. He said the district would like to have negotiations finished by the time school is out for the summer but this year they started in late August, after the district had approved its budget. Crouch said the union had a new negotiator and that was the reason for the late start.

Footprints in the snow The sun sets over the western edge of Newport Friday, Dec. 7. The lawn by the high school was covered in footprints after two inches fell Friday morning. The temperatures turned cold over the weekend, and more snow is predicted this week. Some forecasters are calling for heavy snowfall this winter, possibly exceeding last year’s totals.

County controlling beavers NEWPORT – Pend Oreille County crews have been working to control beaver activity in two problem areas.

Over the first weekend in December, two beavers were trapped at the culvert under North Shore Road on Diamond Lake’s outlet. A licenced trapper was working on behalf of the county, using the county’s hydraulic permit from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Traps were pulled after the weekend.

“We’re doing what we have to for the sake of maintaining that culvert,” public works director Sam Castro said.

The lake level is still high. A wet fall added to already high water levels around the Pend Oreille River Valley. Castro said he recognizes that beavers are a part of the ecosystem, and the county will trap when it’s necessary to protect the roads from washout due to plugged culverts.

The county worked with WDFW to remove portions of an eight-foot beaver dam at a culvert on LeClerc Road. They continue to monitor activity at the culvert, located about two miles from the state line on what is known as Millner Pond.

Man gets 15 months for theft

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – A Pend Oreille County man is headed to prison after stealing from his mother to buy drugs.

Kenneth Renner, 27, had been given a Drug Offender Treatment Alternative (DOSA) sentence in October in which he would be able to go to drug treatment instead of jail.

But after being released from jail before going to treatment to attend to a family emergency, Renner stole a credit card from his mother and used it to get money to buy meth.

Deputy prosecutor Jeremy Schmidt asked that Renner be sentenced to five months for second degree theft of an access devise at sentencing Thursday, Dec. 6, before Pend Oreille County Superior Court Judge Pat Monasmith. Renner was facing a standard range of two to six months in jail on that charge.

Schmidt also asked that the DOSA be revoked and that Renner be sentenced to a year and a day on the underlying charge in that case, with the sentences served concurrently.

Schmidt and defense attorney Barrett Scudder had collaborated to come up with a charge that would qualify Renner for a DOSA sentence back in October. Renner had been arrested in September for stealing his girlfriend’s Electronic Benefits Transfer card to buy drugs in that case. A theft conviction would not have been enough to qualify him for a DOSA, so Schmidt and Scudder came up with possession of a counterfeit controlled substance charge that Renner pled guilty to.

But that went out the door when Renner was arrested for the theft of his mother’s credit card. He used the card to withdraw $300 to buy drugs.

“The day he was to report for treatment, he went back to his old habits,” Schmidt said.

Scudder said Renner’s background was particularly sad.

“His father got him into drugs at a young age,” Scudder said. He said Renner’s father would have him sell drugs for him, taking him out of school to do so.

Before sentencing, Renner told Monasmith that he had a good support group.

“I let a lot of people down,” Renner said. He said he wanted to begin prison sentence so he could get some sober time.

Monasmith said that Renner had been forthcoming to police about

the latest charge. He said it was clearly drug seeking behavior.

“Stealing from your mother is some indication how powerful addiction is,” Monasmith said. But he disagreed with the attorneys about how long Renner should serve.

They wanted 12 months and a day – six months on the theft charge and a year and a day possession of a counterfeit substance charge for which the DOSA was revoked.

Monasmith said he appreciated that the crime was caused by drugfueled behavior, but said that there had to be a consequence for violating the court’s orders.

“You have no defense,” he told Renner. “Fifteen months is more appropriate.”

He also ordered Renner pay $850 in court costs. That’s in addition to $1,100 he owes for the DOSA conviction.

NEWPORT – The 2012 Festival of Trees raised more than $14,000 for the Newport Hospital and Health Services Foundation. This year’s event welcomed people from all over Pend Oreille County and kicked off a yearlong campaign to raise funds for the Healthy Kids Snack Bag Program.

Sadie Halstead Middle School was adorned with 13 festive trees and holiday décor for daytime kids’ activities, an evening dinner and live entertainment. Although more than 6,400 raffle tickets were sold, only 13 winners walked away with the prize-adorned trees.

The tree winners were: Linda Drake “Health is Wealth”; Jenny Byrd “Experience Priest River”; Barb Smith “Who Let the Girls Out”; Don Gronning “Hodge Podge”; Mary Kay Burgess “All Around Town”; Maria Senn “From Peaceful Loans to Magical Homes”; Michele Schultz “Old Fashioned Christmas”; Vicki Richter “The Toy Tree”; Ileisa Oleson “Mystery Tree”; Denise McGivney “Holiday Treasures”; Sandra Church “A Quilter’s Dream”; Mike Callaghan “Mexican Vacation Stay”; and Patty Page “Fore! the Kids!”.

The Newport High School Band, Erin Malcolm, Marianne Nichols, and The Dynamic Duo provided entertainment throughout the festivities, and numerous volunteers staffed the daytime and evening events. Newport Hospital’s

own dietary team prepared the prime rib dinner for the crowd of 144.

The overall event was sponsored by the Kalispel Tribe of Indians and LifeFlight Network.

Small change will cost billions We’re seeing a lot of news stories these days about the projected costs of the new federal health care law known as Obamacare.

Employers of all sizes, from small companies to warehouse stores and restaurant chains, are warning that compliance costs will force layoffs and price hikes.

Even some of the lesser-known provisions will cost employers billions of dollars. For example, tucked away in the 2,000-plus pages of the legislation is a requirement that restaurants and “similar” food retailers display calorie counts on their menus.

Sounds reasonable in this health-conscious age, but according to the Office of Management and Budget, the calorie display requirement was the third most burdensome statutory requirement passed in 2010.

OMB estimates it will take more than 14.5 million work hours every year to comply and $69.8 million for recordkeeping alone.

A big part of the problem is how regulators interpreted the new requirement. The Food and Drug Administration decided that, in addition to restaurants, the requirement would apply to coffee shops, delicatessens, take-out food, grocery stores, convenience stores, movie theaters, airplanes, cafeterias, bakeries and vending machines.

Even the White House was apparently caught off guard by the sweeping scope of the FDA

regulation.

The New York Times reports that NancyAnn Deparle, President Obama’s chief health adviser, personally complained GUEST to the FDA OPINION Commissioner, after which DON C. the agency BRUNELL relented — ASSOCIATION OF WASHINGTON slightly.

BUSINESS PRESIDENT The federal government will no longer require published calorie counts for movie snacks or airline food.

But the agency’s concession is of little comfort to all the other businesses caught in the crosshairs of this new regulation.

Take grocery stores, for example, an industry with average profit margins of just 1 to 2 percent.

The Food Marketing Institute estimates that initial compliance costs for grocery stores will top $1 billion.

Supermarket chains will be required to post calorie information on thousands of items, from chicken cooked in the store to potato salad sold in the deli, says Erik Lieberman, FMI’s regulatory counsel.

Obama needs to work with Congress

I guess it would be asking too much to expect the president to knock off the campaigning, give Air Force One a rest and demonstrate at least a smidgen of leadership which would be more than we’ve seen from him throughout his first term in office.

The reason he isn’t neck deep in negotiations with Congress over the pending expiration of the Bush tax cuts Dec. 31 is he doesn’t know what to say or what to do. Our late U.S. Sen. Warren Magnuson was fond of describing public officials as show horses or workhorses and Barack Obama definitely is a show horse.

We learned only recently that he doesn’t even attend his scheduled daily get-togethers with intelligence, military and government experts but relies instead on a written summary of what they have to say. There’s no proof he reads it.

What does he choose to spend his time at instead? I don’t know. Gym workouts maybe, golf. Flying off to blue states to offer himself for their adoration.

The Obama worshipping media doesn’t tell us.

The Wall Street Journal says he isn’t even serious about negotiating a deal with House Republicans over what to do about the Bush tax cuts. He would allow those making under $250,000 a year to keep the cuts, but insists those over that figure will pay higher taxes. The GOP says extend cuts for everybody.

If the cuts expire, hundreds of billions of dollars in automatic tax increases and spending cuts will go into effect, says the WSJ. Conservative columnist Charles Krauthamer says Republicans should just go over the cliff and make Obama bear the blame. But the Obama crowd has already launched its “blame the Republicans defense,” re this from administration spokesman Ann Brundage, “Right now, the only thing preventing us from reaching a deal that averts the fiscal cliff and avoids a tax hike on 98 percent of Americans is the refusal of congressional Republicans to ask the very wealthiest individuals to pay higher rates.”

Obama wants a $1.6 trillion tax

increase, $50 billion in infrastructure spending and sole power to raise the federal debt limit which the Constitution placed in the hands of Congress.

No wonder the Republicans laughed when they heard that. Even those two dolts Sen. Harry Reid and House GUEST minority leader OPINION Nancy Pelosi would never go ADELE for that. Even FERGUSON more laughable CORRESPONDENT was Obama’s “give me the money this year and I’ll negotiate cuts in entitlements to make up for it next year.” Fat chance.

The AARP insists on no changes in Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security. It was AARP that forced Congress – Democrats anyway – to pass Obamacare by stating a majority of its members were for it, an outright lie. At one time before Obamacare, they almost had a health care deal which involved insuring people for the big stuff only but AARP squelched that. I was for that one. I believe people should pay for their flu shots, for example, their annual physicals and other small stuff within the ability of most working folk. I was told that if they had to pay for it themselves, people wouldn’t get flu shots and wind up in hospitals where the bill would be far more expensive. I also would not let children up to 26 years of age be covered by their parents policy.

Most that age will be working and should pay for their own insurance.

As for the other entitlements considered the third rail and do not touch, Social Security, raise the eligibility from 65 to 67 years. Democrats are against this but would consider means testing so people who can afford to pay their own health care bills would be required to do so.

|| Congresswoman wants us to give up entitlements

To the editor: Our congresswoman wants us to give up entitlements so the very rich can continue to pay low tax rates. The idea is that entitlements must be reformed to lower the debt. Well, Social Security adds zero to the debt. That’s right zero. On the other hand having people like Mitt Romney pay 14 percent or less income taxes does add to the debt. The funds the rich don’t pay become borrowed funds to keep the government running.

So our congresswoman wants the government to reduce spending. She believes that 100 percent of the spending reductions must come from entitlement reform. So if you are on Social Security, you could expect to get no future cost of living increases, just so the very rich can continue to pay lower tax rates. Now that’s what I call the re-distribution of income or Republican social engineering.

Our congresswoman has moved up in the political ranks and she now gets to stand next to Speaker Boehner instead of behind him. When the Speaker talks of entitlement reform Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers smiles and when he says that the rich should pay fewer taxes, she gives a serious look. All I can say is that this congressional district elected McMorris Rodgers, and when your Social Security check shrinks next year, you might want to rethink sending her back for another term of “can’t tax the rich job creators.” We haven’t taxed those job creators for over ten years and where are all those jobs their low tax rates are supposed to create?

We are in an economic situation where all of us must contribute to improving

We need to think about

Taxing rich won’t help

country’s best interest

To the editor: The latest survey says that six out of 10 people say that taxing the rich will take us out of the fiscal cliff we are heading into. Excuuuuuuse me! Do you mean to tell me that six out of 10 people in this country are totally uninformed as to our real fiscal problem? If so, then shame on them for not keeping up with what is really happening to our country fiscally.

If you are one of these six out of 10 people, let me inform you, the amount that will come in with the increase is only $80 billion a year while Mr. Obama adds $1.5 trillion a year to the debt. He is spending way more than he brings in. Do you realize that this amount would only fund 8.5 days of our government? What are you going to do for the other 357 days?

Unless the Democrats in the Senate get serious about cutting some of the spending, and that will mean cutting some of the entitlements, we will go into bankruptcy. I for one am willing to pay more taxes, once we dissolved the HUD, SEC, FCC, FDA and the Department of Education, and send it back to the states where it belongs, and make Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security solvent. But our president does not want to do this. He only wants more taxes on everyone, not just the rich, and he wants unfettered spending and unfettered borrowing from the likes of China.

Until the president gets seri-

To the editor: The current great debate in Washington between the President and Congress is how to avoid going over “the Fiscal Cliff.” The President thinks that we need to tax the rich and sights polls taken that show 60 percent of people polled think the rich should pay more.

He not only wants to raise income taxes on the “rich” but since most of the “rich” don’t really take a salary but live on earnings from investments, he also wants to raise the tax on capital gains. There is also some real discussion coming from Democrats about taxing people on their asset value.

The Republican Congress thinks that we don’t have a revenue problem but have a spending problem but has been willing to increase taxes by eliminating “loop holes.”

First, is it any surprise that 60 percent of people polled want to tax the rich? I’m shocked it’s no higher. By definition, any tax that doesn’t affect me is a good tax. In the words of George Bernard Shaw, “A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul.”

We Americans need to stop thinking about what affects our pocket book and start thinking about what is in the best interest of the country as a whole.

I would like anyone to justify why government spending has increased almost 300 percent over the last 40 years and

The ‘holiday’ season is here, but it seems there is some dispute as to how to greet others this time of year. Some believe “Happy Holidays” is a watered down salutation that tiptoes around the true meaning of the season. Others think “Merry Christmas” leaves out other holidays and those who don’t celebrate the birth of Christ.

Do you prefer “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays”?

Merry Christmas – a majority of Americans are Christians and we shouldn’t kowtow to others.

I believe either is ok; it’s just nice to say something.

Happy Holidays includes Christmas, New Year’s, Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Kwanzaa; America is the “melting pot” and we should try to include everyone.

I can’t believe this is even a debate. Say what you want.

household income has increased 24 percent. If Washington really wants to improve the economy, they need to stop sucking so much capital out of it. If we end up going over the cliff, there will be plenty of blaming going on but the politicians will still have their jobs.

Sign petition to label food To the editor: Our Food and Drug Administration tells us we do not need to know what is in our food.

Genetic engineering alters genetic codes of DNA in an organism by splicing in other genes from other forms of life, including plant forms, insects, bacteria, pesticides and viruses which are then inserted into our vegetables and/or fruits and drugs.

Right now, there is a huge grassroots effort to get enough signatures to get Initiative 522 on the ballot in 2013 so we can vote as to whether we have a choice of what foods we consume. The west side of the state is fully aware of this, but the Inland Empire lacks information.

Our health, environment and organic farmers are all at risk here. The U.S. and Canada are the only countries in the world that don’t require labeling of genetically modified foods. Are the Europeans a bit smarter than we are?

Cusick gets clean audit CUSICK – The town of Cusick was audited for 20092011, with the state auditor finding that Cusick had adequate internal controls to protect public assets. The auditor also found the town had complied with state laws and regulation, as well as its own policies and procedures.

According to the audit, the town operated on annual budgets of about $1 million, $1.2 million and $1.1 million for those three years. There are about 360 residents in Cusick. The town provides water, sewer, parks and recreation and general administration services.

blueberry muffin, that has to be labeled,” he said. “If we sell a pack of six, that’s got to have a separate label.”

But pizza chains could face the biggest hurdles if companies like Domino’s Pizza are required to display calorie counts for each of the 34 million possible topping combinations the chain offers.

“If they want to put in new products or change pricing or add new toppings, they have to buy new menu boards,” said Jenny Fouracre-Petko, director of legislative affairs for Domino’s Pizza.

“That’s where it gets expensive.”

The problem is that, too often, bureaucrats don’t understand what it takes to comply with government regulations.

Don’t ban automated political calls; control them Anyone who got a “personal” call from Clint Eastwood, Bill Clinton or Pat Boone (yes, that Pat Boone) during the election season will sympathize with the call for a ban on political robocalls or, more likely, issue a hearty “Amen!”

Fair point: The automated calls were annoying both in their number and their lame inference that Eastwood, say, really cares enough to call you during dinner time or while you’re watching your favorite TV show. We doubt very much that they changed anyone’s mind, and we know a few folks who at least threatened to vote against the candidate that most of the robocalls supported.

But we also think an outright ban goes too far. What we’d prefer to see is such calls added to the no-call registry so that people could opt

out of receiving them, just as they can opt out of receiving calls from businesses tryGUEST ing to sell them OPINION something.

State Sen. Dave THE MILWAUKEE Hansen, D-Wis., JOURNAL SENTINEL tends to put too much blame on calls from the Republican National Committee (both sides overused them), but he makes some great points: “I was getting five to 10 calls a day,” he said. “You could be gone for two days and have 16 calls on your answering machine when you got home. They load up the answering machine.”

He said he received complaints from a host of people, including a third-shift worker whose sleep was interrupted and a minister who

feels she must leave her phone on in case of emergency calls. Although people can turn off their landline phones or just hang up on the robocalls, people shouldn’t have to put up with that kind of annoyance.

“So many people are aggravated,” he added. “I think you have a right to control to some degree what comes into your home. It just went over the top” in the last election.

Hansen also doesn’t think they work, and we think the sheer volume has a good chance of turning off potential voters.

But Republican critics of the proposal make a good case that there is a free speech question at stake, especially as it pertains to political speech. In an instant information age, when there is so much competi-

tion for attention, automated calls can be a useful tool for both informing and motivating people to react and vote, they say. Maybe, but if the reaction is negative, how useful are they?

And there’s the good question of what constitutes a political robocall. What about automated calls that are taking a poll and asking for preferences? Is that the same as Eva Longoria urging you to vote for President Barack Obama?

Hansen has grabbed a solution that undoubtedly will be popular.

But there are enough concerns about an outright ban that we think his proposal should be toned down a bit – putting such calls on the nocall registry and requiring disclosure, for example – and key details need to be worked out.

Hansen told us that although his

initial goal is to make sure people don’t get political calls they don’t want, he is willing to adjust his proposal.

Here’s hoping legislatures across the nation agree with this intent and pass bills that best serves the public’s interest, not the interest of political campaigns.

ent, it will have to pay around $500 to ship the product to a lab for testing and certification.

The major questions are, will this regulation make people eat less when they dine out and at what cost to our struggling economy?

The Center for Science in the Public Interest strongly supports the requirement and touts the effectiveness of similar rules. CSPI reports that, “A study conducted by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found that one in six customers used the calorie information at chain restaurants….”

That means 16 percent of people used the information, while 84 percent did not. Congressional opponents led by Rep. John Carter, R-Texas, have introduced the Common Sense Nutrition Act to limit the scope of the labeling requirement largely to restaurants.

That makes sense.

Pend Oreille County considers speed limit changes NEWPORT – There are several areas of Pend Oreille County roads were engineers are recommending the speed limit be reduced.

The board of commissioners will have to approve the changes.

A workshop with the new board and the county engineer

will likely take place in January.

The county received grant funding to upgrade signage along its roadway. As part of that project, the speed limits were reviewed.

More information about specific roads where changes are suggested will be available after the workshop.

A huge thank you

to everyone involved in the benefit auction and spaghetti feed at the Newport Eagles.

Also the workers that volunteered and worked so hard to make the cancer benefits successful.

The donations were tremendous.

In addition, there were basket raffles in town and other donations.

Thanks again and God bless all of you.

Amendment would make signs, additions easier SANDPOINT – The Bonner County commissioners will consider an amendment to the building location permit regulations that would exempt signs and certain minor residential additions from the need to have health district or sewer providers sign offs. A hearing will be held Wednesday, Dec. 19 at 1:30 p.m. in the board meeting room on the third floor of the Bonner County Administrative Building, 1500

Highway 2, Sandpoint.

If approved, the county building location permits would no longer require health district/sewer provider sign offs for signs, a single addition to a residential structure 100 square feet or less or for balconies, eave extensions, or other similar structural features. The proposed amendment would also exempt building mounted signs or free standing signs not exceeding 64

square feet or 10 feet in height from the need to submit plans stamped by an engineer or architect.

The public is invited to comment at the hearing or provide written testimony in advance of the hearing. Written testimony may be submitted to the Bonner County Planning Department, 1500 Highway 2, Suite 208, Sandpoint ID 83864, or emailed to planning@ co.bonner.id.us.

BR I E FLY Lady Griz fall to Bonners Ferry NEWPORT – The Newport girls basketball team lost to Bonners Ferry Saturday, Dec. 8, in their first game of the season.

“We played hard but we were just out of control,” coach Mike Frederick said.

His relatively young team didn’t give up, however. They trailed by 13 in the fourth and battled back to lose by nine.

Newport led 13-7 at the end of the first quarter, but trailed by two at the half. They fell apart in the third, only scoring three points early in the period. Bonners scored 13.

Courtney Wiese and Holly Malsbury each scored 11. Jolie Frederick scored nine, Hadley Stratton scored four, Ari Newcomb three and Sydney Siemsen two.

Middle school wrestlers head to league finals NEWPORT – The middle school wrestling team from Newport is winding down their season. Prelims were Tuesday in Deer Park, and the league finals are set for Thursday, Dec. 13 in Colville.

Skaugstadt Coach Jesse Hellinger said Newport’s David Skaugstadt has a chance to win the seventh grade title. The coach said Skaugstadt has been leading the team as captian and working hard. He has a 10-3 record.

Braedon Corkum is second on the team in wins with a 4-4 record. First-year wrestlers Tristian Ringinburgh, Cody Stark, Robby Fox, and L J Roberts – the team’s only eighth grader – have shown great improvement this season, the coach said.

Lance Wood, a captain and standout first-year wrestler injured his sternum, but he is trying to make a comeback for the league championships.

“He gives his heart and soul,” Hellinger said.

The team has four other wrestlers, but they are not meeting academic standards so they haven’t wrestled an official match.

Pets in need too this season

Low income spay/neuter clinic Dec. 13, 19

NEWPORT – This holiday season, don’t forget the pets. There are many in need in the area, and the Pawsitive Outreach Spay/Neuter Alliance (POSNA) is helping make sure they have what they need.

The POSNA “kid crew” helped set up a Tree of Sharing in the lobby of Mountain West Bank in Newport. They hung ornaments using pictures of some of their rescued animals.

Donations of good quality cat and dog food, litter, toys, etc. will be used for the animals currently in foster care, and for members of the community struggling to feed their pets.

Monetary donations can be deposited to a dedicated Mountain West account. POSNA is an all volunteer, registered non-profit.

All donations go directly to the care of the animals.

POSNA, in partnership with Timber Lake Litter Control (TLC) in Spirit Lake, and the Spokane Humane Society, is offering two spay/neuter clinics this month for low income pet owners. The clinic Thursday, Dec. 13 at TLC will be just for cats, while one at the Spokane Humane Society Wednesday, Dec. 19 will be for both cats and dogs.

The co-pay for any cat, including strays and feral, is $25.

Appointments for dogs are on a space-available basis, and the

co-pay depends on their weight.

Transportation to and from the clinics is included. Space fills up quickly. Call Cindy at 509-6711427 to book your appointments or for volunteer opportunities.

“We have helped spay/neuter over 500 animals so far this year,” said volunteer Tammy Parker. “With these two clinics, our total for 2012 will be close to 600, a three fold increase over last year.

We have also rescued over 80 animals from desperate situations, 62 of which have found their forever homes. With the help of our growing team of dedicated volunteers, and clinic staff our goal of no more homeless pets can become a reality.”

Greenslade is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute in Spokane and has been a pastor since 1989.

He is working at Newport Southern Baptist part time and part time at Mount Spokane Church. He has also served at the Peaceful Valley Church, located near the Pend Oreille-Spokane county line. It’s where Greenslade his youngest son is now an associate pastor.

Dispatch also fields calls for the Kalispel Tribe property in Airway Heights. Certain police calls are generally omitted because of space constraints. These include but aren’t limited to ambulance calls for illness, unfounded alarms, traffic stops, dogs at large, abandoned vehicles, 911 hang–ups and civil standbys. 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.

THE NEWPORT MINER

Late winter for snow plowing

BY MICHELLE NEDVED OF THE MINER

SANDPOINT – The late winter allowed the Bonner County Road and Bridge Department to catch up on some work that was delayed because of a late, rainy spring.

Director Gordon Bates, who took the post in April, said his road crews worked on summer projects through October and into November, before the snow started falling. In recent weeks, they’ve been dealing mainly with

icy conditions.

Bates said his department doesn’t have redundant equipment, so summer maintenance equipment eventually has to be switched over to winter maintenance equipment. He deferred to his road crew to make that decision.

“Some of them have 30 years with the road and bridge department,” Bates said.

His department has had to spend some money on overtime already this season, with crews laying sand on icy roads. But, the

department expects and plans for that in its annual budget.

“We have the dollars to get men and equipment out on the road,” Bates said.

The county road and bridge department is in charge of 680 miles of road. It has some mutual maintenance agreements with the U.S. Forest Service, Pend Oreille County and the cities of Oldtown, Priest River and Ponderay. Some roads are easier for each agency to get to, regardless of whose jurisdiction they fall under.

Hunting, fishing seasons open during holidays COURTESY PHOTO|TAMMY MAY

A meeting with Santa These two little guys visited with Santa Claus when the Jolly Old Elf visited the Blanchard Community Center for Breakfast with Santa Saturday, Dec. 8. This was one of the final visits from Santa Claus in the area before he makes his annual trip Christmas Eve.

Deck the Falls contest winners announced METALINE FALLS – Another successful Deck the Falls celebration is in the history books, organizers said as they announced winners of the coloring contest and the cookie baking contest.

Despite the inclement weather, there was a good turn out at the tree lighting event Friday evening, Nov. 30. The Metaline Falls Volunteer Fire Department delivered Santa and Mayor Tara Leininger to the park for the tree lighting, and Pend Oreille Fire District No. 2 volunteer firefighters tended to the bonfire. The rain even stopped while Santa made his visit to the youngsters. Those who attended the event were served free refreshments provided by Teck and served by members of the North Pend Oreille Valley Lions Club.

Winners of the Kids Poster Contest were announced and were as follows:

Ages 5-6: For best use of color and composition - Samara Honshiko. For best depicting theme - Novalee Haney.

Ages 7-9: For best use of color and composition - Mikayla Fristad. For best depicting theme Audrey Cathrine Veliz.

Ages 10-13: For best use of color and composition - Melanie Gagliardo. For best depicting theme - Sarah Chatwin.

Father Christmas’ Favorites: Nicol Lyons The Craft Faire that was held at the Cutter Theatre Saturday was also well attended by both vendors and shoppers. The Deck the Falls Cookie Contest was judged by a panel of experts: Selkirk School District Principal Larry Reed; Border Patrol office manager Dennis Flanagan and Border Patrol agent Tyler Hicks. The winners were as follows:

Ages 4-10: First Place - Phaedra Parker, Second Place - Callan McNee Ages 11-16: First Place - Katie Cook, Second Place - Brianna Holloway-Cook Age 17 plus: First Place - Jill Winsor, Second Place - Lesley Cody Best Overall Presentation: Katie Cook The Christmas cookies were served to the audience at the evening’s Community Christmas Concert and Caroling. The winning ticket was selected for the Deck the Falls Raffle Basket and the winner was Kathy Ibbetson.

The Deck the Falls committee thanked all who helped to make the event a wonderful memory for so many people and wish all a very merry holiday season and a healthy and happy new year.

County seeks grant to purchase home in danger of flooding SANDPOINT – Bonner County is seeking a grant from Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) to buy a home built at the confluence of Pack River and Grouse Creek, north of Sandpoint. The house is in danger of flooding and poses a safety risk, according to the county.

The house is currently owned

by James and Marlene Stobie.

They purchased that home that

had been built in 1994, and had been approved by the county’s building department, which no longer exists.

Planning director Clare Marley said the county is in conversation with the couple’s attorney.

The county is currently seeking a grant for $650,000, but that number may still change, Marley said.

The house itself has not flooded

but the property has.

If the county comes into possession of the home, it will be demolished as well as its outbuildings.

FEMA is placing restrictions on properties across the country because of concerns regarding the flood plain and, as in this case, the floodway. This house is in the direct path of flood waters, should those bodies of water flood.

BOISE – There’s still time to bag that Christmas game bird, or maybe a nice solstice-season steelhead.

For hunters and anglers itching to get out in the field or to wet a line during the holiday season, several opportunities are available.

For upland game hunters in Idaho, the cottontail season is open through Feb. 28, and snowshoe hare season through March 31. There is no season on pygmy rabbits.

The pheasant season in Areas 1 and 3 is open through Dec. 31. The forest grouse season also is open through Jan. 31 in north Idaho’s Area 1 and through Dec. 31 in

the confusion among the electorate.

“Many people, I suspect, thought they were voting against online coursework altogether,” he told his fellow board members, and he then proposed that the requirement be repealed, and that a new process be put in place to determine an online course requirement for the future.

“It’s important that students learn this,” board member Rod Lewis, Boise, said at the meeting. “If you really look at what’s happening in post-secondary institutions and the change that is occurring there, I think it is going to be increasingly important that we have students at the end of the day know how to take classes online effectively.”

“I’m concerned that we might be swinging from one extreme to another,” said Don Soltman, Twin Lakes, vice president of the board.

“We established this (online learning) requirement for a very good reason. I understand why Tom (Luna) has proposed the change, but if we make this change, we need to reinstate a new online learning requirement and do it

rapidly.”

While each of the board members who spoke on the issue insisted that having an online course requirement is imperative, only one board member voted against the measure to repeal the requirement.

“My biggest concern is that if we do not go forward with the online requirement, and we spend a year deciding whether we’re going to have it or how we’re going to have it, and we all end up wanting it in the end anyway, we’ve just lost another year,” said Emma Atchley, Ashton, the lone board member to oppose the change. “That would amount to another year of lost progress.”

The West Bonner School Board has some revisions to make because the Luna Laws were already reflected in the district policies when the state approved them last year.

Several Idaho school districts were planning to retain their online course requirements, despite the outcome of the election.

“We’re a fairly progressive school district as it is,” noted Laura Rumpler, spokesperson for

ers where limits are three per day and nine in possession.

The spring steelhead season starts Jan. 1 in these waters with limits of three per day and nine in possession. But anglers will need a new steelhead permit and a 2013 fishing license to fish after Dec. 31.

Fishing is open year round in many other waters as well.

Consult rules brochures for exceptions and details, available at all license vendors, Fish and Game offices and online at: http:// fishandgame.idaho.gov.

And remember, anyone planning to go hunting or fishing on or after New Year’s Day must have a 2013 license.

Beware of telephone scam SANDPOINT – The Bonner County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents to be aware of a new telephone scam circulating in the county.

A resident received a telephone call this week from a man who

said his name was “John” and he represents Publisher’s Clearing House. “John” indicated that the recipient of the phone call had won the Publisher’s Clearing House and they just needed a little more information in order

for him to collect his $1 million prize.

The resident was passed on to “John’s supervisor” who indicated that the taxes must be paid on the $1 million before he would receive his money.

Group wants snowmobiles part of travel plan BOISE – A Boise-area backcountry advocacy group has filed suit against the U.S. Forest Service, asking forests be required to create a plan for snowmobiles in their travel management planning.

National forests are required to create travel plans for wheeled cross-country travel, but it is up to individual forests to determine if winter travel plans are necessary.

The Idaho Panhandle National Forest was in the process of creating a winter travel plan to address snowmobile use near caribou habitat. The plan is currently on hold until the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service makes its final decision on designating critical habitat for caribou.

“Without that piece of informa-

State education board repeals online learning requirement BOISE – The Idaho State Board of Education voted 7-1 Monday, Nov. 19 to repeal the requirement that high school students complete two online courses in order to graduate. Yet, members of the board remained adamant that online course requirements need to be reinstated quickly, and a new process to arrive at those requirements should be implemented soon.

“The perception among the public, I believe, is that with the defeat of Proposition 3 in the election, we removed the online learning requirements,” noted Tom Luna, member of the board and the state superintendent of public instruction, as he spoke to fellow board members at the meeting, according to IdahoReporter.com.

Proposition 3 provided funding and resources to enable local schools to comply with the online course requirement and, despite Proposition 3’s defeat with voters, the online course requirement remained in place.

Luna said that language on the statewide ballot made reference to the online coursework requirement, which, in his view, added to

the rest of the state. Seasons for bobwhite and California quail in Area 1 are open through Jan. 31.

Chukar and gray partridge seasons are open statewide through January 31 as well.

Hunters must have 2012 licenses and permits through Dec. 31; on Jan. 1, they will need new 2013 licenses and permits.

For anglers with time off during the holidays, the fall steelhead season remains open through Dec. 31 in the Clearwater River and the North Fork, Middle Fork and South Fork Clearwater rivers where bag limits are two per day and six in possession, and in the Salmon, Little Salmon, Snake and Boise riv-

Coeur d’Alene School District.

“Long before the Students Come First legislation came about, we had been working toward integrating technology in our schools, implementing blended coursework and so forth,” while also noting that she did not anticipate the school district reversing this trend.

Similarly, Dr. Linda Clark, superintendent of the Meridian School District, said her district would need a “legal opinion” from the Idaho Department of Education before any changes were made to its online learning requirements.

Still, after the state board voted in favor of the repeal, Luna reiterated the need for a “new process” to be implemented that would determine a new online learning requirement for Idaho high school students.

“We must realize that through all of this, a lot more students across the state have begun learning online because we set these requirements for local districts,” Luna said to the board. “We need to get new requirements reinstated, so opportunities for students don’t begin to shrink.”

tion we are unable to move forward with our planning efforts,” IPNF spokesman Jason Kirchner said. “As far as the current lawsuit is concerned, I couldn’t begin to guess at the impact, especially since the details of any requirements would likely be contained in the court’s final opinion. If the court were to create this requirement, then our hope would be that our current efforts at creating a winter travel plan would be consistent with the ruling.”

Winter travel is part of the

Colville National Forest’s forest plan, but snowmobiling is not much of a hot button issue on the Colville. Much of the terrain is not prime for snowmobiling, but some groomed snowmobiling routes are available on forest roads over the winter.

Further south in Idaho, the Clearwater National Forest has a plan, but the Nez Perce does not.

Winter Wildlands Alliance, which advocates for backcountry ski access, wants snowmobile access limited in the backcountry.

A Kidnapped Santa Claus Part four of five ~ Continues next week

BY L. FRANK BAUM

Mamie Brown, who wanted a doll, got a drum instead; and a drum is of no use to a girl who loves dolls. And Charlie Smith, who delights to romp and play out of doors, and who wanted some new rubber boots to keep his feet dry, received a sewing box filled with colored worsteds and threads and needles, which made him so provoked that he thoughtlessly called our dear Santa Claus a fraud.

Had there been many such mistakes the Daemons would have accomplished their evil purpose and made the children unhappy. But the little friends of the absent Santa Claus labored faithfully and intelligently to carry out their master’s ideas, and they made fewer errors than might be expected under such unusual circumstances.

And, although they worked as swiftly as possible, day had begun to break before the toys and other presents were all distributed; so for the first time in many years the reindeer trotted into the Laughing Valley, on their return, in broad daylight, with the brilliant sun peeping over the edge of the forest

to prove they were far behind their accustomed hours.

Having put the deer in the stable, the little folk began to wonder how they might rescue their master; and they realized they must discover, first of all, what had happened to him and where he was.

So Wisk the Fairy transported himself to the bower of the Fairy Queen, which was located deep in the heart of the Forest of Burzee; and once there, it did not take him long to find out all about the naughty Daemons and how they had kidnapped the good Santa Claus to prevent his making children happy. The Fairy Queen also promised her assistance, and then, fortified by this powerful support, Wisk flew back to where Nuter and Peter and Kilter awaited him, and the four counseled together and laid plans to rescue their master from his enemies.

It is possible that Santa Claus was not as merry as usual during the night that succeeded his capture. For although he had faith in the judgment of his little friends he could not avoid a certain amount of worry, and an anxious look would creep at times into his kind old eyes as he thought of the disap-

pointment that might await his dear little children. And the Daemons, who guarded him by turns, one after another, did not neglect to taunt him with contemptuous words in his helpless condition.

When Christmas Day dawned the Daemon of Malice was guarding the prisoner, and his tongue was sharper than that of any of the others.

“The children are waking up, Santa!” he cried. “They are waking up to find their stockings empty!

Ho, ho! How they will quarrel, and wail, and stamp their feet in anger! Our caves will be full today, old Santa! Our caves are sure to be full!”

But to this, as to other like taunts, Santa Claus answered nothing. He was much grieved by his capture, it is true; but his courage did not forsake him. And, finding that the prisoner would not reply to his jeers, the Daemon of Malice presently went away, and sent the Daemon of Repentance to take his place.

This last personage was not so disagreeable as the others. He had gentle and refined features, and his voice was soft and pleasant in tone.

“My brother Daemons do not

trust me overmuch,” said he, as he entered the cavern; “but it is morning, now, and the mischief is done. You cannot visit the children again for another year.”

“That is true,” answered Santa Claus, almost cheerfully; “Christmas Eve is past, and for the first time in centuries I have not visited my children.”

“The little ones will be greatly disappointed,” murmured the Daemon of Repentance, almost regretfully; “but that cannot be helped now. Their grief is likely to make the children selfish and envious and hateful, and if they come to the Caves of the Daemons today I shall get a chance to lead some of them to my Cave of Repentance.”

“Do you never repent, yourself?” asked Santa Claus, curiously.

“Oh, yes, indeed,” answered the Daemon. “I am even now repenting that I assisted in your capture.

Of course it is too late to remedy the evil that has been done; but repentance, you know, can come only after an evil thought or deed, for in the beginning there is nothing to repent of.”

“So I understand,” said Santa Claus. “Those who avoid evil need never visit your cave.”

KEY LOSSES: Riley Pederson and Jesse Kardos OVERALL TEAM’S CHANCES IN NORTHEAST A LEAGUE: “We are in a tough league and will have to fight for every team win. We are giving up a few weights and it’s going to cost us in dual meets. At the league tournament we will face several tough teams; Freeman, Lakeside, and Riverside are all going to be looking for a top spot,” coach Bart George said.

Colville has moved back up to 2A and Kettle Falls is back in the Northeast A League.

Alex Solis STRENGTHS: “We have a small group of kids that are working hard. We have high Freshman - 285 expectations for them and are going to push them to reach their goals. We’re trying to build a group of guys that will fight hard for every point and wear their opponents down. I think we will get there,” George said.

WEAKNESSES: “We are somewhat inexperienced.

Our kids are pretty raw and will be at a disadvantage when they face more practiced opponents. We’re going to try to make up for that with toughness and conditioning. Gaining mat experience will take time, but we can build a strong wrestling foundation pretty quickly,” the coach said.

RANGERS | FROM PAGE 9B their wrestlers are experienced.

A couple of the schools moved up to “A” league, but everything is pretty much the same for Selkirk.

STRENGTHS: Four strong seniors who have experience, and two younger wrestlers have been with the Selkirk Little Guy program.

Only two members of the team are first-year wrestlers. The more experienced wrestlers work hard with the newer wrestlers to teach them moves and skills.

The coaching staff is another strength. There are now three volunteer coaches along with two main coaches, Keith Saxe and Rob Hoffman. Kenny Weiss, Dusty Chantry and Kelan Sax come and help out the team. Each coach

has a lot to add to the Selkirk program. They each have their own techniques and knowledge, each are willing to share it with the team. This added experience will add much to the high school program.

WEAKNESSES: Selkirk has only one heavier weight wrestler, Joey Dickinson, and he is new to the sport. And they are missing some of the weights in the middle.

COACHING STAFF: Head coach Keith Saxe returns for the seventh season with the Selkirk High School team. Keith works at Box Canyon Dam and is a volunteer EMT/firefighter with the Ione Fire Department. Keith graduated from Selkirk High School in 1984, where he wrestled.

Assistant coach Rob Hoffman returns for the fifth season. Rob works for RTI Telephone. Rob is also the Selkirk Little Guy Wres-

tling head coach.

Volunteer assistant coach Kenny Weiss returns for the fifth season.

Kenny works for Teck American and is a Selkirk Little Guy Wrestling coach.

New this season to the Selkirk coaching staff is Dusty Chantry and Kelan Sax, who both graduated from Selkirk and were Selkirk wrestlers. Dusty has helped for the last few years and helps with the Little Guy program. He is the owner of Lost Creek Logging. He has a lot of experience to share.

Kelan is the son of coach Saxe and has returned to the area to work for Andritz, a contractor at Box Canyon Dam, after attending college. Kelan graduated from Selkirk High School in 2011 and placed second and fourth at state during his high school wrestling career.
