Sheriff gets new mobile command center

By Desireé Hood Of The Miner

NEWPORT – The Pend Oreille County Sheriff’s Office received $300,000 from the Department of Homeland Security to purchase a state of the art mobile command center ordered from scratch, based off a unit from Douglas County.

“Part of it is, we are a border

agency,” Sheriff Alan Botzheim said.

The department has received a sheriff’s boat and new radios as part of this federal funding in the past.

Botzheim said the new command center is replacing the 1962 school bus the department converted into a mobile com-

War on weeds and high water continues Diamond Lake residents hand clear and spray non-native weeds this week

By Fred Willenbrock Of The Miner

DIAMOND LAKE – An intense war on non-native aquatic weeds continued at Diamond Lake from land and boat this week. It started Saturday, Sept. 7, when more than 30 Diamond Lake residents turned out to chop dead reed canarygrass to clean up the Diamond Lake slough ditch. It continued with a weeklong boat assault to spray and kill weeds.

Organizers said Saturday was a very successful day, with the work accomplished to keep the primary outlet of the lake flowing, which has helped maintain a normal lake level this year.

The water was waste deep at the Diamond Lake ditch, which is the main outlet, Saturday, Sept. 7. More than 30 residents volunteered to pull Reed Canary Grass root balls that were blocking the flow from the lake.

|| Weed board special meeting fails to get quorum NEWPORT – A special meeting of the Pend Oreille County Weed Board was not held Monday, Sept. 9 because there weren’t enough board members for a quorum, according to Sharon Sorby, weed board coordinator. The meeting was announced Friday, Sept. 6.

Joe Sherman from Dist. 4 was absent, she said.

The meeting, which was to develop a protocol to increase customer satisfaction, will be taken up at the next regular weed board meeting Wednesday, Oct. 9, Sorby said.

The five-member weed board currently has two vacancies. Weed board members must live in the district

OLDTOWN – Drilling is underway at Oldtown, with crews from Trenchless Construction drilling water and sewer lines under the Pend Oreille River. The lines will extend from the existing infrastructure in Oldtown to the newly annexed property on the other side of the river.

Two 12-inch pipes are being drilled at 35 feet under the Pend Oreille River – a distance of about 1,450 feet. One pipe is for water, and the other holds a 6-inch HDPE pressure sewer line.

This is one of seven phases to expand the West Bonner Water and Sewer District’s system to the east side of the Pend Oreille River, where about 400 acres was annexed into the city of Oldtown in 2009.

The expansion area extends along Highway 2 and includes the Tri Pro Cedar mill.

The project also includes the drilling of two wells and the construc-

If you are interested in joining the board contact the weed board at 509-447-2402.

Learn local heritage at Pend Oreille Historical Museum NEWPORT – The Pend Oreille County Historical Museum is open Thursday and Friday, Sept. 12-13 for the annual Heritage Days, from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.

NEWPORT – The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) adopted a 9 percent increase to their average wholesale power rates and an 11 percent average transmission rate increase, which will impact rates of electric utility suppliers in this region. The new rates will take effect Oct. 1.

Each public utility district will be affected differently. Larger PUDs rely less on BPA for their power supply, where smaller PUDs may see a larger increase.

The Ponderay Newsprint Company (PNC) gets most of its

power from Box Canyon and Boundary Dam, however, that is not enough power to supply the plant. The PUD buys a certain portion of its power from BPA to supply PNC and must pass the increase on to them.

“PNC pays the acquisition cost and their cost of power goes up with the rate increase,” said John Jordan, Pend Oreille Public Utility District General Manager. “BPA increases are a big deal to both the (PUD) and PNC.” The Pend Oreille PUD power supply comes from different sources. Approximately 34 percent comes from Seattle City See BPA, 12A

There will be special displays, exhibits and demonstrations geared to school students, who will be visiting from Stratton Elementary.

Thursday’s theme is “An overview of Pend Oreille County History,” and will include a brief slideshow, a tipi display and Indian stories, and demonstrations

by Pend Oreille County Fiber Art Group and the Rock and Gem Club.

Displays and demonstrations include David Thompson and the fur traders, pioneer food, gardening, root cellar and ice houses, logging tools and flumes, and much more. All cabins, the caboose and the lookout tower on the museum grounds will be open.

Friday’s theme is “Pioneer Children Life,” and displays and activities will be geared toward younger

children.

County commissioners reviewing budgets NEWPORT – Pend Oreille County commissioners are meeting with county department heads and elected officials to go over their 2014 budgets.

Tuesday, Sept. 17, commissioners will hear from the assessor at 9:30 a.m., the prosecutor at 10 a.m., the coroner at 10:30 a.m., the auditor at 11 a.m. and District Court at 11:30 a.m.

With all three commissioners new to the county budget process, they are taking time to go through each budget thoroughly, county auditor Marianne Nichols said.

Swanson sentenced to life in prison

Fred J. Willenbrock Publisher

No chance of parole for murder

SANDPOINT – Jeremy Swanson, the Priest River man who killed his wife and their unborn child with an ice pick and kitchen knife, Jeremy will spend the rest Swanson of his life in prison.

Swanson, who was 27 when he killed his wife Jennifer just before Christmas last year, was sentenced Monday in Bonner County 1st District Court by judge Benjamin R. Simpson. He will spend the rest of his life in prison, with no chance of parole.

Swanson pleaded guilty to the charges of first and second degree murder in exchange for escaping the death penalty. Also, the original first-degree murder charge for the killing of the fetus was reduced to second-degree.

Jennifer Swanson, 27, was a manager at Burger Express in Priest River, and mother to their 20-month-old daughter, who was in the home at the time of the murder. She was physically unharmed.

Jeremy Swanson called Bonner County dispatch at about 8:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2012, saying he had killed his wife. Priest

River Police officers and Bonner County sheriff’s deputies arrived at their home, at 350 Harriet St., to find Jennifer dead in bed, covered with a sheet. She had suffered multiple stab wounds to the chest, back and face.

Swanson was originally charged on two counts of second-degree Jennifer murder, indicating Swanson lack of premeditation because he claimed he killed her during an argument over money and cars.

Further investigation, however, discovered that he researched how to kill someone with an ice pick, according to detectives. He then purchased the ice pick the day of the murder, and planned to kill Jennifer while she watched television.

Sheriff’s deputies interviewed Swanson at the Priest River Police Department in the early hours of Wednesday, Dec. 20. He appeared to be in a semi-catatonic state, according to Det. Gary Johnston’s testimony. Johnston said Swanson was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and agreed to talk with investigators.

According to court documents, Swanson’s original story was that he came home from work at Thorne Research in Sandpoint

at about 5 p.m. He said that he and Jennifer argued over cars and money into the evening. He said when she went to lay down he went into the kitchen, got a kitchen knife and ice pick, and attacked her on the bed.

Det. Phil Stella testified that at first, Swanson’s story matched the crime scene. However, upon receipt of a search warrant, detectives discovered that Swanson had visited websites earlier in the day that explained how to kill someone with an ice pick and dismemberment.

Upon a second interview at the sheriff’s office, Swanson explained he got off work at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, and went to Priest River Ace Hardware to purchase an ice pick.

He then bought a hamburger for himself and a sandwich for Jennifer. He said he was doing research on killing her while she watched television that evening.

She went to lay down because of morning sickness and that’s when he picked up the knife and ice pick from the kitchen, went into the bedroom and killed her, according to testimony. Johnston testified that Swanson said he stabbed her until she stopped fighting.

Swanson told investigators Jennifer was 15 weeks pregnant.

Idaho law allows for murder charges when an unborn fetus is killed, regardless of viability.

tion of a 500,000 gallon water storage tank. The pipes under the river will connect the new water supply back to the existing system, and the new sewer lines to the existing Newport sewer plant.

About 10,000 feet of 12-inch water lines are also being laid to serve the new area.

To repay the loans for the project, in 2010 Oldtown voters approved bonds – up to $2.42 million for the water system and $1.31 million for sewer. Those are underwritten by the developers that make up the West Bonner Investment Co. Current ratepayers in Oldtown won’t be responsible for repaying the bonds.

Developers front the cost of building infrastructure, and when the project is complete, the infrastructure becomes city property, and the URD refunds the developer for the project cost from the property tax money it collects over the next 20 to 30 years.

Deputies came back to have a look and found what was identified as a small meth lab in the garage.

They backed out of the garage and sought a search warrant.

When they served the search warrant the next day, with the assistance of a Washington State Patrol meth lab processing team, they found a small amount of meth and ingredients for making meth, Pend Oreille County Sheriff Alan Botzheim said.

Botzheim said that this was the first meth lab bust in five years.

Since the state limited access to common ingredients for making meth, the number of meth labs has dropped off.

Benzo was charged with manufacture, delivery or intent to deliver methamphetamine and is held in lieu of $15,000 bail.

According to statement of probable cause, Benzo admitted he was gathering ingredients to make about a half ounce of meth.

He said he didn’t deal and that the lab was for personal use.

Benzo told investigators that he had been in prison for possessing amonia anhydrous, one of the ingredients used to make meth.

The future of the block watch

program was in question before the arrest, program chairman Mike Wolever said.

“People haven’t expressed interest in keeping it going,” Wolever said.

He was surprised by Benzo’s arrest.

“You could have knocked me over with a feather,” Wolever said.

“Him and meth just didn’t add up.”

The block watch was formed after neighbors got together to watch several houses that were suspected of drug activity in the south Newport area.

Benzo had been elected vice chairman of the block watch group, Wolever said. There has been no meeting held to change that, he said.

Wolever said he didn’t want to minimize any meth production, but he didn’t think Benzo had a large operation. He said he knew Benzo was having trouble finding work. Benzo and his wife spent the summer working as hosts at Pioneer Park in the Colville National Forest.

Wolever said that he hopes people will help the wife, who is caring for a 5-year-old child.

out reed canary grass root balls that had clogged the ditch north of the North Shore Road culvert.

Dan Holman, the Diamond Lake Improvement Association board member that heads the lake level committee, said they still have some adjacent property owners objecting to their work and they were demonstrating this Saturday.

The DLIA was issued a hydraulics permit from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. The state permit allows them to remove any new obstructions to the ditch and new portions of beaver dams.

DLIA volunteers have worked hard since last year to lower the lake level by keeping this ditch open and the beaver dams breached.

Holman told the annual meeting of the association that some property owners have resisted their efforts.

He recently reported to the Pend Oreille County sheriff being shot at while surveying the area and went to court to get a restraining order.

The judge also reminded the protesting property owners that it is illegal to remove survey markers. The association had paid for a survey to show that they were working from property where they had permission. Holman said someone took them out and they had to pay to have them replaced. The legal fees and surveys were paid by DLIA. They have permission from the landowners where they are working and state permits to keep the ditch open.

He said because of the height of the culvert in North Shore Road, this is the lowest the lake can go by draining it through the ditch. The lake level was now below the culvert. He said the culvert was raised by the county about 3 feet in 1996 after the very low water period.

Holman said the goal this summer was to lower the lake 1 inch a week and not flood Sacheen Lake properties. They did that and now if they keep the beaver population down by trapping this fall, clean the ditch and put tubes in the beaver dams they should be in good shape next spring.

Holman said the drainage is actually a manmade ditch that must be dug deep enough to drain. He also noted that there are some new

sources of water flowing into the lake that must be dealt with in the future.

The spraying last summer worked well to kill the reed canary grass. But they needed to cut away the debris to keep the channel open during the winter when it actually continues to flow under the ice.

More spraying was started Monday, Sept. 9, and will continue until Sept. 26.

Chemical treatment of yellow flag iris, fragrant lilies and canary reed grass at the lake outlet was done from an airboat like last year. There were several places around the lake the contractor, Lakeland Restoration Services, sprayed 2, 4-D. The association has a three-year $25,000 contract with a company for chemical treatment. The annual amount spent varies according to need.

They sprayed primarily in and around the outlet end of the lake.

They had surveyed the lake and looked at areas they sprayed last year about a week before. They were only spraying spots they could reach from the boat and not on private property along the lake shoreline, according to Holman.

The contractor will also be treating a few spots with chemicals to kill milfoil this week.

“The milfoil gods have been good to us,” said Jerry Senn, who heads the DLIA milfoil committee. Senn reported that divers had only found two small areas where milfoil treatment would be needed: one near the boat launch and the other at the east end.

There are many isolated plants around the lake and hand pulling is encouraged.

Sharon Sorby, Pend Oreille County weed coordinator, said her department administers the permits for the association. The authority for the aquatic plants and algae control spraying comes from the Environmental Protection Agency and Washington State Department of Ecology. She said they are in the middle of one 5-year permit. They also have another EPA permit granted annually.

Areas where spraying was done were posted with caution notices.

Swimming is prohibited for 24 hours after spraying.

Recreational fires allowed OLYMPIA – Recreational fires are now allowed in Pend Oreille County, as long as they are in designated fire pits. Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark recently announced that he lifted the ban east of the crest of the Cascade Mountains in designated state, county, municipal or other campgrounds on forestlands under DNR protection. In accordance with county ordinance, this also lifts the ban in Pend Oreille County.

The law states that fires need to be attended at all times, are no larger than 3 feet by 3 feet and no taller than 2 feet, and that a charged hose or five gallons of water is present along with a shovel, and there is a fire break/non-combustable surface of at least 3 feet around the fire.

In the event that a fire escapes, the property owner is responsible for any and all fire suppression costs. Other outdoor burning is still banned. The use of propane and self-contained stoves and barbecues are allowed. Daily updates on state burn restrictions are available at 1-800-323-BURN.

Use the web to promote your business NEWPORT – The Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce will teach its members how to use the new ChamberMaster website to promote individual businesses. The training is set for Thursday, Sept. 12, at 5:30 p.m. at the Newport High School computer lab, room 112.

“We’ll also show you how to add ‘Hot Box’ items, announce events, and post job openings.

This is a valuable tool for members of the Greater Newport Area Chamber in promoting our local businesses,” chamber officials said.

Motorcycle rider hurt in wreck IONE – A 46-year-old Spokane Valley man was injured Sunday, Sept. 8 when he ran off McKenzie Road about 17 miles north of Newport, according to a news release from the Washington State Patrol.

Kenneth E. Kimball was taken to the Newport hospital after he lost control of the 2006 Suzuki motorcycle he was riding. Kimball was travelling west on McKenzie approaching Bennett Road about 5 p.m. when he failed to negotiate a curve. His motorcycle left the roadway and struck a ditch, ejecting him. Speed and alcohol were considered a factor, according the WSP. Charges of speeding and driving under the influence are anticipated.

Commission considers lot size variance request SANDPOINT – The Bonner County Planning and Zoning Commission will consider whether a variance request for an existing parcel smaller than 5 acres is required.

They will take up the matter at a public hearing Thursday, Sept. 12 at 5 p.m. in the first floor conference room in the county’s administration building, 1500 Highway 2, Sandpoint.

Jameson and Terri Kohn are requesting a lot size variance for an existing 2.35-acre parcel, located on Highway 41, in Section 13, Township 55 North, Range 6 West, Boise Meridian.

The property was created in 1986, but the zoning now and then requires a minimum lot size of 5 acres.

Fatal wreck Stuart G. Lacy, 49, of Monroe, Wash., died Tuesday, Sept. 3, in a single vehicle wreck on Highway 20, about four miles north of Usk. Lacy was driving north in a 2006 Chevrolet Express van when the van left the roadway to the right, went into the ditch and rolled before striking a power pole about 4:21 p.m., according to a press release from the Washington State Patrol.

Fall prescribed fires planned throughout the Idaho Panhandle COEUR D’ALENE – National forest visitors this fall can expect to see occasional smoke and short term area closures due to planned prescribed fires in various locations across the Idaho Panhandle.

It is recommended that hunters, hikers, campers and other forest visitors check the Idaho Panhandle National Forest (IPNF) website for prescribed fire locations and updates before venturing into the woods this fall.

Not all planned locations will be ignited this fall, but when conditions are right the forest website will be updated and fire crews will post signs in the area and visit nearby campsites prior to ignition.

For a full listing of potential prescribed fire sites, including maps, visit the IPNF Prescribed Fire web page or www.northidahorxfire.

com.

“Our prescribed fires complement local community wildfire protection plans, and provide great benefits to forest health,” District Ranger Chad Hudson said. “The end result will be reduced wildfire risks for local communities, improved wildlife habitat and a large step toward restoring the forest’s resiliency to threats such as uncharacteristic fires, insects and disease.”

Active burning will occur at each site for a period of 2-3 days, with smoldering fire afterward until rain or snow extinguishes the fires. Burn areas can pose very hazardous conditions such as rapid and unpredictable spreading of flames, falling trees, heavy smoke and limited visibility, and rolling rocks and logs. Members of the

public are urged to stay away from these areas during burning operations and for a few days afterward.

If you plan on recreating or hunting in these project areas make sure you understand your location relative to the burn units. If you find yourself in an active burn area, you should travel downslope or away from the predominant path of flames, because fire typically burns fastest upslope.

When burn dates or date ranges are forecasted, signs will be posted along access roads and near affected trailheads and trail junctions.

Temporary access restrictions or closures may be utilized if deemed necessary for public safety.

For more information about planned prescribed fires, or visiting your national forest, contact your local US Forest Service office.

Washington upgrades voter registration program OLYMPIA – The Office of the Secretary of State and Washington’s 39 county auditors are updating more than 53,000 voter registration records and mailing voter registration information to more than 140,000 potentially eligible, but unregistered residents.

That includes 8,194 active registered voters and 1,453 inactive voters in Pend Oreille County, according to county auditor Marianne Nichols, who said the Secretary of State is handling the updates.

The Secretary of State will mail postcards containing information on how to register to vote to residents who don’t appear to be registered. The postcards include the eligibility requirements for registering, the web address for online registration and a toll-free number if the recipient wants to request a paper form or has questions about the card.

The Secretary’s office mailed similar postcards last fall. Numerous registered voters received that postcard due to date-of-birth errors or name variations in the individual’s record, and as a result, many errors in individual records were corrected. Improvements to the matching software this year should significantly decrease the number of registered voters who mistakenly receive a postcard.

“This year, we make it clear that if you’re already registered, you received the postcard in error. We want these folks to call us so we can see what the error is, for example a typo in the date of birth, and correct it. This mailing is about increasing the number of eligible people registered to vote, not taking people off the rolls,” said Shane Hamlin, deputy director of the Elections Division and chairman of the Electronic Registration Information Center board.

Updating such a large number of records and conducting focused registration education is done through the ERIC. ERIC is a non-profit organization that assists states with improving

the accuracy of voter rolls and increasing access to voter registration for all eligible citizens. It is governed and managed by states that choose to join, and was formed by seven states in 2012 with assistance from The Pew Charitable Trusts. The seven participating states include Colorado, Delaware, Maryland, Nevada, Utah, Virginia and Washington. More states are expected to join.

Using reports from ERIC, elections officials will remove duplicate registrations, cancel registrations of deceased voters, better process address updates, and more efficiently manage records of voters who have moved and registered in another state. The program follows strict state and federal guidelines to protect voter rights and maintain clean voter rolls.

Using data comparison software,

ERIC provides more comprehensive and accurate information by analyzing voter registration and driver identification information from all of the participating states. It also includes national death data from the Social Security Administration.

In the first ERIC report on deceased voters the new system identified 947 voters that were previously missed. This is about 25 percent more records than Washington finds through its routine processes.

“We’ve used national death data for years, but ERIC found more matches than we did,” Hamlin said.

The state is using federal grant dollars to pay the estimated $32,000 cost of mailing the postcard to 140,000 people. That’s about 23 cents per person, or half the cost of a postage stamp to enfranchise a person, he said.

NEWPORT – A man who had been sentenced to 90 days in jail and two years probation for criminal solicitation had his probation reduced by six months when he appeared before Pend Oreille County Superior Court Judge Pat Monasmith Thursday, Sept. 5.

Kevin Destin Everett Montgomery, 20, was a senior at Newport High School when he was arrested in 2011 and charged with delivery of marijuana in a school zone, a class C felony.

Montgomery had served nearly three months in the county jail when he pleaded guilty to a criminal solicitation, a gross misdemeanor.

Deputy prosecutor Jeremy Schmidt and probation officer Scott Cornwell agreed to defense attorney Robin McCroskey’s suggestion that the probation be ended six months early. The probation was scheduled to end

in February 2014.

Schmidt called Montgomery a success story and said he had completed his high school education while in jail. Cornwell said he was recommending Montgomery be released from probation so Cornwall could spend more time on other cases.

Montgomery had been subject to regular urinalysis while on probation and had been clean every time, Monasmith was told, although he missed a UA in July.

Missing the UA concerned Monasmith, who said he was more skeptical than the deputy prosecutor and probation officer.

Monasmith said Montgomery had blatantly violated the security of the school by bringing marijuana to school.

Montgomery said he had been living and working on the West Side of the state and was in the process of moving when notification of the July UA was mailed.

He didn’t receive it, he said.

Monasmith accepted the recommendation and eliminated Montgomery’s probation.

Health care reform must lower costs

M

any businesses were not against health care reform.

They were simply for cutting or at least holding current costs for health care and the corresponding insurance premiums. So, like many we said go for it but the first step is to stabilize the health care costs. So with the Affordable Care Act making its first big appearance this January, we find, like many small business owners, that our health insurance plan will pay for less and cost 30 percent more. What happened?

Nobody can answer these simple questions because there are so many elements to the law and they keep changing. This is inexcusable for both the state and federal governments that are administering this massive change. With all their resources and time, this should not be a train running without a driver full speed into the night.

Here are a few facts that are causing this potential train wreck.

Most of the public discussion is about health coverage for those without any at this time. The state and federal governments haven’t gotten around to how the health coverage plans that now exist for small businesses will operate under the law. This is a disaster because these employer paid plans now cover the majority of the population. Insurance companies have set next years’ premiums high because they don’t know what will happen.

The second fact people are ignoring is that individual medical insurance through the exchanges required in the law will not be free. This was not an act to create a fairyland of free health care for everybody. So if health costs go up everybody will pay someway. The costs are going up and the health care officials and insurance companies are figuring out who will pay.

Subsidies for lower income people will lower premiums but not eliminate them.

The exchanges that are available to individuals are not available to small businesses in 2014. Why is that? Nobody knows.

One thing everybody should know is that everybody will pay for this reform measure. The government is sure they will be attaching new taxes to insurance plans that will be passed on and itemized by the insurance companies. The ones we know about – and there will be more – are a $5.25 per member per month; a tax on businesses of 1.9 percent of the premiums; and a luxury tax on good plans like those many public agencies have now.

There are many new rules that all plans have to have. These could cost more money as well. One of them is that no plan can have more than a $2,000 deductible. Higher deductibles or making individuals pay the first part of the cost of a procedure was a way to cut premiums. The federal officials have taken that away but not answered how that won’t cause the premiums to go up.

Most experts say they will have to.

The biggest question and the one that started the debate, is how much will the government reimburse providers for health care for those without any ability to pay. In the past, public hospitals had provided free care to those that couldn’t pay. Now they will all have government insurance. But will the government pay the actual cost of the care? In the past they haven’t.

If they don’t somebody will have to pay.

There are too many questions with the biggest one also being the oldest: are insurance premiums going to stop skyrocketing?

A healthy forest means a healthy community The Colville National Forest is not just the beautiful view in our back yards. As the economic engine for Ferry, Stevens and Pend Oreille counties, the forest provides jobs, energy, and recreational opportunities for our communities in Northeastern Washington.

Over a century ago, the federal government made a promise to actively manage our forests and provide 25 percent of revenues for schools and communities impacted

by National Forest land. However, the federal government has not upheld this commitment – allowing federal regulations and lawsuits to block active forest management. As such, I am committed to seeing the federal government renew its commitment to actively managing our

nation’s forests.

In August, I met with local businesses and community members involved with the Colville National Forest to discuss GUEST ways to more effectively utilize OPINION Rep. Cathy Forest Service McMorris land. Our goal Rodgers is to promote R-Wash. healthier forests, reduce the risks of forest fires, and strengthen rural economies in Northeastern Washington.

|| U.S. military should not take action in Syria

To the editor: We should not allow our military to strike Syria. President Obama publicly announced a “red line” last year and earlier this year, that “red line” was crossed and nothing was done. Now we have a second event and President Obama wants to use military force. He publicly announced he would do so without consent from Congress or the United Nations. Now, he wants Congress’ approval.

Meantime, Syria has had time to move their military targets and Israel has issued gas masks to 60 percent of their people and called up some of their military reserves. All of this because of President Obama’s public statements and still, nothing has been done.

In two years, more than 100,000 people have been killed in Syria and we did not intervene. Now that 1,400 people have been killed by chemical weapons, the President wants to use military force.

If Congress does support the President and authorizes military force, it should be because there is proof the Syrian government is responsible and not to “save face” of President Obama. Regardless, I do not support military intervention in Syria. There are other options available.

Worrisome ‘truths’ from Senator To the editor: A Sunday, July 14, Spokesman Review article raised questions about the Seventh District’s appointed Sen. John Smith, R-Colville.

The article focused on Smith’s history of attending a racist Christian Identity church, a.k.a. the “Ark,” and his marriage to the granddaughter of Christian Identity minister Ray Barker.

The Smith’s first wedding took place at the Ark. Sen. Smith said his family quit attending the Ark in “2007 or 2008,” after hearing racist comments there. It’s hard to believe they’d never detected racist connections before, since news articles and courtroom testimony in the late 1990’s linked convicted murderer and racketeer Chevie Kehoe and his brother Cheyne to both the Ark and Barker.

||

re a der s ’

le t t er s

||

Chevie Kehoe spearheaded the murderous Aryan People’s Republic army, whose goal was to create a whites-only nation.

One of his Aryan soldiers even kidnapped a Colville business couple; it was indicated he did so because of the husband’s Jewish ancestry. Those headlines could not have escaped Sen. Smith’s attention.

Sen. Smith would have been in his mid20’s when Cheyne went to Barker to accompany him when he surrendered to authorities after an Ohio shoot-out with police. Sen. Smith could not have missed such prominent news about his neighbors and father-in-law.

Claiming the racist element of the Ark was unknown to him during his years of involvement causes one to gravely doubt Sen. Smith’s integrity. He had ample opportunity to be aware of the church’s ideology and the illegal and reprehensible activities of people affiliated with the Ark. Add to that the uncomfortable fact that Sen. Smith has accepted campaign donations from the leader of the Ark. -Ed Gann Colville

Smith supported WDFW on wolf issue To the editor: Len McIrvin, Bill McIrvin and Justin Hendrick, Diamond M Ranch, along with Scott Nielsen, Stevens County Cattlemen President, have all given their endorsement to Washington state senate candidate Brian Dansel. These men, most directly affected by wolf predation, must not think Sen. John Smith, R-Colville, was effective in handling the wolf issue. I’m inclined to agree.

Smith sponsored bill SB 5193 creating money for WDFW via specialized license plates for wolf compensation. This bill, signed by the governor May 21, will bring approximately $800,000 to WDFW by their estimates. Some of the money will be used to hire more “Conflict Management Specialists” to essentially manage people and prescribe management for private property so it is more wolf friendly. The bill caps compensation to any ranch/farm at $10,000 per year and states “The department may pay no more than fifty thousand dollars per fiscal year from the state wildlife account created in RCW 77.12.170 for claims and assessment costs for injury or loss of livestock caused by wolves submitted under RCW 77.36.100.”

The high school football season has started with all its tradition, excitement and pageantry. Unfortunately, some players get hurt, some seriously.

Is football too dangerous and expensive for high school?

No. It’s not any more dangerous than many other activities, including driving. The camaraderie, tradition and joy of playing make the risk of injury worth it, since not many get seriously injured.

Yes. The cost of the equipment and the danger of lifelong injury for an activity most won’t participate in after high school makes high school football unreasonable.

No. It’s the only thing keeping some students in school.

Yes. Do away with football and bring back theater and other programs.

This limit on payout means ranches that suffer damages like the Diamond M will be driven out of business. In essence, this bill did nothing but grow the size of state bureaucracy. It was also an agency-request bill, meaning Smith sponsored it because WDFW asked him to. No seventh district legislator should ever agree to help a state agency receive more money. It’s no wonder Stevens County Cattlemen support Brian Dansel.

Please join me in voting for Brian Dansel this November.

-Jae Hightower Tonasket, Wash.

Dansel understands, supports public schools To the editor: If you value our public school system please learn about the candidates before voting in the 7th legislative district senate race.

The candidates are our current, appointed senator, John Smith and Ferry County Commissioner, Brian Dansel.

While serving in his appointed position this session Smith’s disdain for our public schools became very clear. Stemming apparently from a negative personal childhood experience, Smith seems determined to undercut existing support systems that seek to make our schools more effective. Like free and reduced school lunches for children of poverty. He’s against feeding hungry kids because he thinks they’ll be more motivated to learn if they’re hungry. Science suggests otherwise but Smith is not real big on science.

Like the science surrounding the appropriate use of test data for instance. Standardized tests given to students to measure their achievement in particular subjects are not scientifically valid or reliable when used to evaluate teachers, schools or school districts.

Despite this scientific fact, and after I personally explained this fact to him, Smith chose to simply ignore the science and to support a bill that would use such data to give schools across the state letter grades based on students’ standardized test scores. The fact that these grades would utilize an inaccurate metric for judging the effectiveness of schools was unimportant to Smith.

Open enrollment for Medicare Part D drug coverage coming COLVILLE – In what is now a rite of fall, it is again time for Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage, Open Enrollment. Beginning Oct. 15 and ending on Dec. 7, Medicare recipients will again have the opportunity to change their Part D Supplemental Prescription Drug insurance. Current Part D subscribers may keep their existing plan, or select an alternate plan. Either way, this is the only time of the year when Medicare recipients can change their Part D coverage.

The Statewide Health Insurance Benefit Advisors’ (SHIBA) volunteers have been helping people to understand and choose Part D Supplemental Insurance Plans.

Like most healthcare and insurance decisions, choosing Medicare Part D insurance can be confusing and stressful. SHIBA volunteers are highly trained, dedicated and skilled individuals who are available to help people understand their Plan D rights and options.

Supplemental Medicare insurance plans all offer different coverage at various costs. That makes the initial choice and the annual open enrollment selection thereafter very important. “Choosing a plan

that does not meet your prescription needs can be a very expensive mistake,” said Ruby Page, SHIBA program coordinator. To avoid mistakes, SHIBA volunteers are now ready to help Medicare recipients choose a plan that meets their budget and prescriptions needs.

In the tri-county area of Pend Oreille, Stevens and Ferry counties, SHIBA is operated as a partnership between Rural Resources Community Action and the Office of The Insurance Commissioner.

All SHBA assistance is free and unbiased, said Page.

“We are not here to sell you anything. We are definitely not associated with any Part D insurance plans. We are very independent,” she said. Each year according to Page, Part D Plans change.

“Some plans might discontinue serving the Tri-county area, while new Plans begin service,” she said.

“There are always changes to what prescription drugs are, or are not, covered.

SHIBA volunteers are here to help make sense out of what can be a very complicated insurance choice.”

This year may be particularly

confusing for some Medicare recipients as new mandates regarding the Affordable Healthcare Act begin to take effect. According to Page, “Affordable Healthcare, otherwise known as Obama Care, will not affect the need for Medicare, or Part D insurance.

Medicare recipients will continue to need a Part D supplemental insurance policy to cover some of the costs of prescriptions drugs.” Page encourages people to make their appointments early.

“Every year we have people who wait until the deadline,” Page said.

“Sometimes we just don’t have any time left to assist them. We have a limited number of appointments available and we cannot change the Open Enrollment deadline.”

To arrange a visit or telephone consultation regarding Medicare Part D, or Affordable Healthcare, call 1-800-873-5889 or 1-509-6843932 and tell the receptionist you need to discuss Medicare Part D or Affordable Healthcare (Obama Care). You will be put in touch with a SHIBA volunteer or Rural Resources representative who will assist you in making informed insurance decisions.

Color, dear friend, is just a wavelength in the spectrum of light. In darkness, no color shines through. There are many colors in that spectrum and without all the colors then the spectrum would not be complete. There is difference for color in all hues and tones. If the world was in one color, one tone or one hue only, then we would live in a very boring world. Skin is only skin deep for love and respect is beyond what you see with your eyes! That love and respect is what you see with your heart and spirit.

Please quit dividing your neighbors! It is not healthy nor is it honorable to do such a thing!

Please for the sake of healing and understanding please quit trying to create the divide. It simply is not true in this area. I speak from experience of growing up in Spokane and having my brothers and sisters in that spectrum of gorgeous colors, tones and hues.

Calling attention to suicide prevention About two dozen walkers took advantage of the sunny weather to walk a mile to raise awareness of suicide prevention Tuesday, Sept. 10, which was World Suicide Prevention Day. The Walk to Remember was organized by Pend Oreille County Counseling Services. Talking about suicide is an important way of prevention, organizers said. Taking the stigma out of the conversation may save a life. There is more suicide prevention information on the International Association for Suicide Prevention website at www.iasp.info/wspd.

The bottom line is that Smith wants the public schools to be replaced with vastly expanded homeschooling, for-profit charter schools, and religious, private schools, all receiving public funding of course, and none of which would be locally governed by publicly elected school boards.

Time is truly not on Sen. Smith’s side. As folks find out the facts about John Smith, more and more of them are turning to Brian Dansel, a conservative Republican who also understands and values our public schools.

Tell residents not to walk on highway To the editor: After reading the story about constructing sidewalks on the state highway from Owen’s to Audrey’s, I reasoned that the folks using the sidewalk would likely be those people who live behind the gas station and who live behind Audrey’s. Instead of spending $1 million for sidewalks, wouldn’t it be cheaper to send a letter to all the folks living out there advising

Liberals always play the race card To the editor: Let me be clear my good neighbor Mr. Pete Scobby: “We are not racists against our brothers and sisters of the tree of life”!

Your team always plays the racist card. Why? It is a distraction of the important issues of the times.

It is a sham to enslave people’s minds. All your party does is manufacture up hate. It creates a divide between the brothers and the sisters!

Research your party. Research its history because they have been and still are the plantation owners.

The great enslavers are the socialists, communists, liberals, progressives and the public union mafia whores. They usually vote Democrat! Oh friend you need to stop drinking the Democratic cool-aide of the slave masters.

stay out of Syria To the editor: The president has a red line about the use of gas in Syria. Our country used fire bombing and atomic bombs on civilians during World War II. We used napalm on civilians in Vietnam, and have never signed on to the land mine treaty. We also have cluster bombs as military ordnance. We have been disposing of our nerve gas stockpiles for many years as they were posing environmental hazards in long-term storage.

I can’t think of any moral high ground we can stand on when it comes to the use of killing weapons, so when the president says we have red lines that can’t be crossed we look like the most hypocritical nation on earth. America has not been attacked by Syria. I don’t recall any Syrians on 9-11, so we have no reason to conduct war on Syria.

Perhaps 100,000 civilians have been killed in the Syrian civil war and millions have been displaced

without USA intervention. How does a gas attack change anything?

Is it all right to be blown up by an artillery shell, but worse to be gassed with a shell?

The issue isn’t only gas. It’s America having the right to intervene with military force anywhere or anytime that a president sees fit to do so.

The president must make a case that intervention now is required much in the same way that an

attack on America has or is going to occur. Like the Syrian Army is going to put one of their gas shells on a life raft and float it over to NYC harbor.

Why is it that every modern president has to have his own war during his term in office? The only reason that makes sense is that it’s a payoff to his political donors from the Military Industrial Complex.

County considers plat vacation SANDPOINT – The Bonner County commissioners will consider a petition to vacate the plat of The Fairways at StoneRidge, at a public hearing Wednesday, Sept. 18, in the first floor conference room of the county’s administration building, 1500 Highway 2, Sandpoint.

The hearing is set for 3:15 p.m.

CDS StoneRidge Associates-Land L.C., is wanting to abandon phase three and four, of The Fairways at StoneRidge, located west of Blanchard, off Columbia Drive in Section 20, Township 54 North, Range 5 West, B.M.

The purpose of the vacation is to allow the redistribution of density within the StoneRidge planned unit development and to eliminate the need to complete improvements within the platted subdivision.

Commissioners can be submitted to planning@co.bonner.id.us.

Due to space constraints, approximately 45 pieces of music from the collection will be on display. In addition, 70 more sheet covers are available to see in a PowerPoint presentation that will run continually throughout the exhibition. Exhibition topics include: “America at War,” “Notable American Popular Sheet Music, ”

“Ragtime,” “Humor,” and “Sheet Music Illustrators.” Highlights include: “Old Folks at Home” (1851); “Bonnie Blue Flag” (1861); John Philip Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever” (1897) and Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America” (1938).

In addition, the exhibit will be available digitally, after Sept. 3, at: http://libguides.gonzaga.edu/ sheetmusic.

FOREST | From Page 4A

Many people don’t realize that nearly one third of the Colville National Forest, equal to more than 300,000 acres, is bug infested.

To encourage better management of these areas and use them to create job growth, I’ve recently sponsored H.R. 1526, the Restoring Healthy Forests for Healthy Communities Act. This legislation directs the Forest Service to meet specific harvest levels in certain areas, will help improve forest health and prevent catastrophic wildfires, extends supplemental Secure Rural Schools payments for one year, and would improve local forest management by allowing counties to actively manage portions of National Forest land through the creation of “Community Forest Demonstration Areas.” More importantly, this bill

renews the federal government’s commitment to manage federal forests for the benefits of schools and counties and will keep our forests healthy. In addition, for the past two years, I have been working with local stakeholders and the Forest Service on an innovative publicprivate partnership in the Colville National Forest. The “A to Z” Mill Creek Pilot Project establishes a 10-year contract on 50,000 acres in the Colville National Forest. It allows for a private company to use private dollars for everything after the timber sale is laid out, including the pre-sale environmental requirements and NEPA. With private funds and local management, the Colville National Forest can be better managed for healthier forests and stable, sustainable revenue.

I believe the Forest Service should work with the timber industry to create jobs and revenue at a time when they are badly needed. This can be done in a way that protects the environment and ensures a sustainable harvest. The “A to Z” Project will demonstrate to the county how it can be done and I want Ferry, Stevens, and Pend Oreille counties to be the model for the rest of the nation.

By cutting the red tape and overregulation by the federal government, the Colville National Forest will continue to be the economic engine for our Northeast Washington counties for years to come.

Looking ahead, I will continue to fight for priorities that reflect the needs of the Colville National Forest and the back yards that surround it.

North Pend Oreille

news from north pend oreille county including ione, metaline & metaline falls

North county towns get a shoulder

Oriental dinner benefits Legion

“We have to come up with the money to power those new street lights. Hopefully we can afford to keep them lit.” Fowell said the town would figure out the expense somehow to keep the lights illuminated.

The town of Metaline is also seeing improvements to its road infrastructure. The part of the road going by the Baseball Park will be widened. This is to give drivers a place to pull over and safely remove chains during the winter months when travelers come down from Canada and other northern areas.

“There really is no place to remove your chains until Metaline,” said Al Gilson, Washington State Department of Transportation Public Information Officer. He said the drivers already use this area for removing chains, the DOT is just improving it.

METALINE FALLS – An Oriental fundraising dinner to benefit the American Legion will be served Saturday, Sept. 28 at 6 p.m., cocktails served at 5 p.m. at the American Legion Hall, 220 E. Fourth Ave., Metaline Falls.

The money raised will benefit the American Legion for operating and maintenance expenses.

There will be 100 advance tickets available that must be purchased by Monday, Sept. 23.

Tickets cost $15 for adults and $8 for children 10 and under.

Tickets can be purchased at the Legion Hall on Mondays and Fridays from 4-7 p.m. or by calling Linda Osbourn at 509-442-2144 or Joyce Evans at 509-446-3573 to arrange the purchase of tickets.

Evans, of Metaline, will be preparing the Oriental dinner. The menu consists of barbecue pork with hot mustard and sesame seeds, wonton soup, Nasi Goreng rice, beef Bulgogi, sweet and sour chicken, lo mein, steamed rice, a fortune cookie and Oolong tea.

The countries of China, Laos, Indonesia, Korea and Malaysia are represented at the dinner.

“Usually they scarf down anything Oriental,” Evans said. “I hope that everybody goes home happy.”

By Desireé Hood Of The Miner

IONE – North Pend Oreille County streets got an overhaul this summer.

The town of Ione is currently receiving new sidewalks with approved Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps. Parts of State Route 31 are being resurfaced where the streets approach the state highway.

“We never applied for it, it is just one of the things (the DOT) decided to do,” Ione Street Commissioner Donnie Fowell said.

The DOT said that “illumination upgrades” will also be added. Thirteen ornamental lights are being placed along the newly installed sidewalks through the town.

“They are probably a little fancier than we are used to but that’s okay,” Fowell said.

The Pend Oreille County Pedestrian Improvement Project will cost more than $569,000 for construction costs. It is being paid for by federal funds because a project in Metaline Falls in 2004 came in under budget.

The project in Metaline Falls consisted of making the roadway from the town to the Canadian Border all-weather by shedding water in the sub grade under the asphalt. This eliminated the weight restrictions the road had and allows fully loaded semi trucks to travel this route to the border.

Gilson said this project came in under budget giving the WSDOT an opportunity to fund the Pend Oreille County Pedestrian Improvement Project to clean up the SR 31 corridor. Gilson anticipates being completed with the project within the next few weeks.

PUD donates computers to Selkirk schools

NEWPORT – The Pend Oreille Public Utility District (PUD) is donating 26 computers to the Selkirk School District because the hardware is not compatible with the PUD network. The school should have them delivered in the next few weeks.

Rhonda Thomas, PUD information technology director, said the

computers are old and no longer of use to the PUD. She said some of the computers date back to 1996, so the hardware no longer functions efficiently.

“Many of the computers are still of some use in less complex computing environments,” Thomas said.

The Selkirk School District has

not committed to a date for taking possession of the computers, Thomas said. The PUD anticipated delivery in the upcoming weeks.

This kind of donation is normal for the PUD. They have donated computers to Newport schools on several occasions.

“Our local schools always seem appreciative,” Thomas said.

Teen vaccination rates in Washington show mixed results More young adults in the state get whooping cough immunizations; HPV vaccinations lag OLYMPIA – Immunization rates for Washington teens improved for some vaccines, while holding steady for others. In 2012, 86 percent of teens aged 13-17 got a Tdap booster, according to the National Immunization Survey.

That’s up from 75 percent in 2011 and tops the national goal of 80 percent. Tdap is the vaccine that protects against tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough (pertussis). The increase is welcome news following the recent whooping cough epidemic in Washington, according to the Washington State Department of Health.

“We’re delighted that more teens in our state are protected against whooping cough,” State Health Officer Dr. Maxine Hayes said. “Older kids and teens often spread the disease to babies without knowing it. That’s why it’s so important for teens to get a dose of the Tdap vaccine.” Over the last couple years, more teen girls are getting all three doses of the HPV vaccine, but fewer are getting the initial shot.

About 43.5 percent of Washington

girls 13-17 received the recommended three doses of the vaccine, up 3.5 percent from 2011. Yet, only 64.5 percent of girls in the same age group got one dose of the HPV vaccine, a 2 percent decrease over the same time.

In 2012, nearly 15 percent of Washington boys aged 13-17 got the first HPV vaccine dose, up 6 percent from 2011. HPV vaccine was originally licensed only for girls and was made available to boys in October 2011. This, plus a lack of knowledge by health care professionals and parents on the need and recommendation to vaccinate boys, may be why the rate for boys is lower than girls.

HPV vaccinations are recommended for girls and boys to protect against cervical cancer, genital warts and other types of oral and anal cancers. Health care professionals should talk with parents about the importance of all kids getting HPV vaccinations starting at age 11 and 12. Kids in this age group have a stronger immune response compared to older kids. “Parents want what’s best for their kids and want them to live happy, healthy lives,” Hayes said.

“They can lower their children’s risk for HPV or cancer by getting them vaccinated.”

Nearly all sexually-active men and women will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives. HPV is most common in people in their teens and early 20s.

That’s why it’s important for kids to get vaccinated before they start having sex. The vaccine doesn’t protect against any HPV strains someone already has.

Washington state’s vaccination rate for two or more doses of chickenpox vaccine rose 8 percent in 2012. The rate for one dose of meningococcal vaccine rose slightly, from 69.4 percent in 2012 to 71.2 percent in 2011.

No-cost vaccines are available to kids up to 19-years-old through health care providers who participate in the state’s Childhood Vaccine Program. Participating health care providers may charge for the office visit and an administration fee to give the vaccine. People who can’t afford the administration fee can ask for it to be waived.

For help finding a health care provider or an immunization clinic, call your local health agency or the WithinReach Family Health Hotline at 1-800-322-2588.

The Department of Health website (www.doh.wa.gov) is your source for a healthy dose of information.

BPA | Idaho utilities will also be affected From Page 1

Light and Boundary power. Approximately 42 percent comes from hydro generation at Box Canyon Dam, and the BPA power purchases are the remaining approximate 24 percent. Most of the higher cost BPA power is sold directly to PNC. Power obtained from the BPA cost the PUD $26 per megawatt hour in 2012, $25 in 2011, and $31 in 2010.

Other utilities, including Avista in Priest River and Inland Power and Light in western Bonner County will be affected by the increases. Northern Lights, which primarily serves Priest Lake, said they would be increasing rates in the near future because of the rate increase, Annie Terracciano, Northern Lights General Manager said in a press release.

BPA is required to meet the power needs of Public Utility Districts. After those needs are met, BPA makes secondary revenue

from selling surplus power to outlying areas.

“Market prices have been incredibly low,” BPA spokesperson Doug Johnson said. “It has reduced the secondary revenue we get from selling power on the open market.”

The BPA said the increases will fund needed improvements to ensure the region’s federal hydropower and transmission systems can continue to deliver carbon-free, affordable power to the homes and businesses in the northwest.

Johnson said they market power from 31 dams. A large number of those dams are seeing increasing costs to run them efficiently because they are older systems.

“They are aging,” Johnson said. “A lot of them are 30-40 years old.”

Rising costs to operate and maintain the hydroelectric system, higher costs to fund existing long-term agreements for

the Fish and Wildlife Mitigation Program and reduced revenue from surplus power sales are the reasons given for the wholesale power rate increase.

The Fish and Wildlife mitigation program is in place to mitigate the impacts the dams have on different fish species.

The transmission rate increase is from the need to repair and replace old infrastructure and increased spending on mandatory compliance and security requirements. This is the first transmission rate increase for the BPA in six years.

The BPA said they would give an average of $20 million per year in reserves to offset part of the rate increase. The initial proposed rate increase was 9.6 percent. The adopted rate increase was 9 percent, slightly lower than the proposed increase.

The final rate proposal was filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) at the end of July.

mand center more than 20 years ago.

The new 34-foot Nomad trailer will be capable of dispatching, used for search and rescue, wildfire help and any other needed mobile command center purposes. The department ordered the unit last year and has already received requests to show the

new unit.

“It will give us a lot better access and a quicker response,” Botzheim said. “We will share with other counties if we need to.”

Department officials spent time researching the unit and walking through neighboring counties to see their command centers before purchasing this trailer.

The dispatch center will be up

front and Botzheim said there is a double-decker to the new unit.

Botzheim said it should arrive in the county by the end of the month and he will open it up for public tours once it is received.

The last few small additions are being put in, Botzheim said.

“It’s a wise investment. We will be able to use it for 20 plus years, or more,” Botzheim said. “It’s amazing.”

Assessor’s Corner

By Jerry Clemons Bonner County Assessor

SANDPOINT – We recently attended a conference of Idaho Assessors and 41 counties were represented out of the 44 in the state. Also in attendance were members of the Idaho State Tax Commission, Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, various assessor chief deputies and a deputy Attorney General assigned to the tax commission.

In the conference we talked about new laws that affect our Clemons office and laws to be proposed to the next Legislative Session. We also discussed any problems or unusual situations facing any assessors.

As you probably know, there was a significant change to the Personal Property tax law this year, which exempted the first $100,000 in value for a business and any future purchases of $3,000 or less. This obviously helps businesses to lessen their tax burden. The other side of that coin is that every exemption, and Idaho has a lot, does shift the tax burden to other classes of properties. The general best guess is that next year the Legislators might increase that exemption but no one knows for sure what will happen.

There was also news about the improvement in the real estate market. Overall, property values in Idaho increased by 3 percent last year according to the Tax Commission’s records.

The Homeowner’s Exemp-

Piehl recognized for 200 hours of continuing education SANDPOINT – At the 88th annual conference of the Idaho Association of County Treasurers, held in Twin Falls Aug. 4-8, Bonner County Treasurer Cheryl Piehl received accolades for more than 200 hours of continuing education, issued

by North Idaho Col- Piehl lege.

The association also chose new officers. Serving the association as President is Pauline Malone, Lewis County Treasurer. Serving as Vice President is Christina Wines, Gooding County Treasurer. Elected as secretary is Vicky McIntyre, Ada County Treasurer, and, Deanna Curry, Power County Treasurer is the association treasurer.

Connie Goins, Gem County Treasurer is the outgoing President. Officers ascend through the chairs. Also elected as Parliamentarian was Ellen Sauer, Shoshone County Treasurer. Elected as historian was Mary Ann Heiser, Lemhi County Treasurer.

Founded in 1925, the Idaho Association of County Treasurer’s (IACT) meet annually to discuss legislative issues pertinent to the treasurer’s office, obtain continuing education in technical, personal, and professional topics, and elect officers for the upcoming year. The mission of the association is to provide an effective communication network and provide a source of education for county treasurers while promoting integrity, credibility and professionalism.

The membership includes 44 elected county treasurers, who also serve as ex-Officio Tax Collectors, ex-Officio Public Administrators, representing each of the 44 Idaho Counties.

tion will also increase by 3.6 percent next year which is another indication of an improving market. The growing market is a doubled-edged sword in that everyone’s equity in their property will probably increase but the assessed values may also increase, which does not necessarily increase taxes. Property taxes are a net result of all taxing entities budgets, as well as increased assessments.

This is the time of the year when our residential, commercial and mobile home appraisers

are out inspecting properties in a fifth of the county, as prescribed by law in the revaluation process. You may see appraisers on your property and they are just checking for additions, new structures and depreciation.

We do not enter any homes for interior improvements. Please welcome these employees and allow them to do their job.

Our goal is to be of service to you, keep you informed and follow the law in Idaho.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Selkirk annihilates Northport

By Desireé Hood Of The Miner

IONE – The Selkirk Rangers slaughtered the Northport Mustangs in a 72-0 shutout in a non-league game Friday, Sept. 6, allowing every Ranger to hit the field and make some plays.

“We pretty much took care of business all the way through,” Coach Kelly Cain said. “We dominated on both sides of the ball.”

Cain said the Rangers ran 21 offensive plays during the game, leading to nine touchdowns.

Those scoring plays include three from the special teams, two punt returns, one blocked punt return and one fumble return.

The starting line-up played for most of the first half, before the players were changed up and the rest of the team saw some action.

“We were able to get everyone in,” Cain said.

Dominic Cain completed four passing throws out of seven to Shawn Mailly, giving the Rangers 100 yards and three touchdowns.

World Champion high diver has roots in Ione

By Desireé Hood Of The Miner

IONE – First time competing in the sport did not stop Cesilie Carlton, who made history July 30, when she became the first woman FINA world champion in high diving to hold the gold medal at the FINA World Championships in Barcelona, Spain.

“This was my first high dive competition ever,” Carlton told FINA TV after the event.

Carlton was born to Vicki and Stewart Porter, owners of Porter’s Plaza in Ione and 1975 and 1977 graduates of Selkirk High School.

Vicky Porter, currently living in San Antonio, said her daughter was into gymnastics and swimming while growing up. At 16, Carlton made the switch to diving and has now become the first woman to ever hold the gold medal in high diving at the Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) World Championships. “(They are) second to the Olympics pretty much,” Porter said.

Porter said the night before the competition, she received a text message from Carlton that said, “I am going to make you proud.”

Proud is how the Porters felt when they watched their daughter take her third and final dive at

the competition, watching from their home in Texas.

“We are really proud of her,” Porter said. “The third (dive), she just flew. It was a beautiful dive.”

Porter knows her daughter is afraid of heights and when Carlton dives, she dives quickly, as not to stir up that inner fear.

Going from third place to first place after the third round, Carlton did not let nerves and strategy overcome her game. She stepped up and quickly off and completed a dive that splashed waves clear to the U.S. when the scores were announced.

The first round, Carlton’s double half was not what she wanted and she was “not too happy with the entry on it,” she told FINA TV in Spain.

The second round was a one and a half twisting double that Carlton said was “a little bit stuck but the entry was good.”

The third round she knew the dive was hers and she completed a triple half. “I knew that I had this dive,” Carlton said to FINA TV. “I guess it could have been a little better. I didn’t score a 10, so it could have been better, but I was very happy with it.”

Carlton completed three rounds at the competition with a combined score of 211.60, claiming

the gold medal victory. USA’s Ginger Huber finished second with a score of 206.70 and Germany’s Anna Bader took third with a score of 203.90. Carlton practices high diving by working for Cirque Du Soleil in Macau, China. She said they have high diving in the performances for her work. She started diving from those heights earlier this year, regularly diving about 17 meters.

“Twenty is the highest I have gone. I dive 17 on a regular basis,” Carlton said.

More than 181 nations registered for the World Championships in Barcelona, Spain, breaking the FINA record of 178 countries, set in Shanghai in 2011. This was the first year high diving was added to the competition. FINA is the world governing body for five aquatic sports, swimming, diving, water polo, synchronized swimming and open water swimming.

The future is open for Carlton as she goes back to the splash of working for Cirque du Soleil and their water show in China. When asked if she will continue diving, Carlton is open to the chance to compete again.

“It depends on where the sport takes us and we will see where it goes from here,” Carlton said.

Roughstock riders in town Saturday NEWPORT – The first Justin Kelly Memorial Rough Stock Invitational will take place Saturday, Sept. 14 at the Newport Rodeo grounds. The event will get underway at 7 p.m. The Rough Stock Invitational features only the rough stock events – bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding and ranch bronc riding. No barrel racing, no team roping, just rough stock events.

Bull riding drew the most entries, with a dozen entered at press time, including Newport’s Coltin Worley. Two of the area’s top bull

riders, Jesse Kardos of Newport and Thor Hoefer of Priest River are not entered, as both are attending college on rodeo scholarships.

Saddle bronc riding drew a half dozen entries and bareback riding five ranch bronc riders, including Newport’s Austin Krogh.

Ranch bronc riding differs from rodeo bronc riding in that riders can use two hands in ranch bronc riding and do not have to mark the horse out of the chute.

The difference is because ranch bronc riders are more ranch hands than rodeo cowboys, with

many are employed as working cowhands. They ride a regular stock saddle instead of a association bronc saddle, with its high swells and free swinging stirrups.

A ranch saddle is far harder to ride than an association saddle.

Advance tickets are available at various locations around town.

Tickets at the gate will cost $10 for adults, $5 for children 5-11 years old and under 5 free.

The first half ended at 2-0 in favor of the Trojans. In the second half, Priest River made some changes to their line up. The last

four goals were scored within the last 10 minutes of the game.

The Spartans travel to Sandpoint to play Thursday, Sept.

12 at 4:30 p.m. They host St. George’s Monday, Sept. 16 at 5:30 p.m.

A game at Orofino scheduled for Sept. 14 was postponed to Oct. 5 at 2 p.m.

Clark Fork team last year was physical but the Rangers are ready to take on the challenge.

“They were a pretty physical team. It will be a good test for us that way,” Cain said.

The Rangers will take on Clark Fork at home Saturday, Sept. 14 at 3 p.m. for a nonleague match up. They will travel to Curlew, Friday, Sept.

20 at 3 p.m. for the league opening game.

Additional comments: “We have not had a junior high program for the past 15 years but have one now. Things that are great about cross country, you get into great shape. You can go all the way to state as an individual or with your team. It only takes five team members to score. You can run for the rest of your life,” Axel said.

says Delp.

James “Jim” T. Henderson Newport

On Sept. 1, James “Jim” T. Henderson passed away at home with his wife Jolene by his side. He was 67 years old.

Mr. Henderson Henderson was born Aug. 12, 1946, in Burlington, Wash., the youngest of five boys.

Some of his fondest memories were of the times growing up with his brothers.

He had many wonderful stories that he liked to share with friends and family, usually while sitting around a campfire.

Mr. Henderson served in the United States Navy (MCB 4) as a Seabee from 1965 to 1992 when he retired.

During that time he served two tours in Vietnam. During his second tour in the Mekong Delta Region he was wounded and received the Purple Heart.

After retiring, Mr. Henderson and his family moved to Newport and bought five acres of timberland.

Just like the pioneers, Jim, Jolene, and their four young children built a log cabin from the trees on the land.

They lived there for five years before having power or running water.

Through the blood, sweat and tears, the Henderson family continued to call this land their home.

Mr. Henderson loved spending time with his grandchildren.

He also enjoyed hiking, fishing, camping, gardening and metal detecting.

He is survived by his wife, Jolene, daughter Sharee and husband Ed Durfee, son Richard Henderson, son Michael Henderson and wife Yolanda, daughter Connie and husband Andy McKee, daughter Sandy and husband Evan Roda; grandchildren Vanessa, LaShea, Chailynn, A.J., Mathew, Kayla, Aiden, Adalyn, Isabella, L.J., Nick, Deven, and Alanna; other family include niece Ashley Henderson, sister-in-law/niece Sharon and husband John Valvold.

He also is survived by very close friends Wayne Smith and wife Norma, and many other nieces, nephews, in laws, cous-

ins, and many foster children that Jim and his wife cared for.

Mr. Henderson is once again with his parents Boyd and Mable Henderson; brothers, Merle, Fred, Tony and Chuck; brotherin-law Scott Crowley, nephew Mike Henderson, and Betty.

Sherman-Knapp Funeral Home in Newport is in charge of arrangements. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www. sherman-knapp.com.

Mark S. Bame Oldtown

Mark S. Bame of Oldtown lost his battle with cancer Sunday, Sept. 8, at his home with his family at his side. He was 60 years old.

Mr. Bame was born Dec. 8, 1952, in Water Valeet, Mich., to Marvin and Marge Lampley, then adopted by Irvin and Betty Bame and grew up in Bonners Ferry.

He served in the U.S. Marine Corp.

He worked in the timber industry all of his life – first as a logger and then as an equipment operator at JD Lumber. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, being outdoors and spending time with his family.

Mr. Bame is survived by his wife of 40 years, Rhonda; three children Dusty (and Lorena) Bame, Crystal (and Jason) Whalin and Brandon Bame; six grandchildren, Tyeler (and Randi) Bame, Ciara Bame, Makenna Bame, Erick Whalin and Cheyenne Whalin; one sister Marge (and Rick) Stahl and four brothers Marvin (and Maryann) Lampley, Mike (and Jean) Miller, David (and Kay) Anglemyer and Danny (and Maryann) Anglemyer.

Mark was preceded in death by his mother Betty Tashoff, his birth mother Marge, brother Lyle Bame and his granddaughter Kerri.

A memorial service will be held at his home, 144 Womack Road, Oldtown, Idaho, Saturday, Sept. 14, at 2 p.m.

Your Right to Know

Your right to know and be informed of the functions of your government are embodied in public notices.

In that self-government charges all citizens to be informed, this newspaper urges every citizen to read and study these notices. We strongly advise those citizens seeking further information to exercise their right of access to public records and public meetings.

2013281 PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF NEW LICENSE FOR BOUNDARY HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT The Boundary Hydroelectric Project is owned and operated by Seattle City Light (SCL) and licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) as project No. 2144. On March 20, 2013 the FERC issued a 42 year license for continued operation. The project is located at 1198 Boundary Dam Access Rd, Metaline, WA 99152. The new license describes ongoing operations, and protection, mitigation and enhancement measures for fish & aquatics, cultural, terrestrial/wildlife, and recreation resources.

Reservoir Water Surface Elevations. SCL can fluctuate the forebay water surface elevations between 1,954 and 1,994 feet NAVD 88. Historically they have been operated within the top 20 feet (i.e., 1,974 1,994 feet NAVD 88) more than 90 percent of the time. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, SCL facilitates reservoir access and related-recreational activities by maintaining water surface fluctuations above 1,984 NAVD 88 from 6:00 am through 8:00 pm and at night the pool elevation is maintained above elevation 1,982 feet NAVD 88 from 8:00 pm through 6:00am.

Minimum Water Releases. No minimum water releases are required at the Boundary Project.

Recreational Enhancements. SCL will implement a Recreation Resources Management Plan that includes capital improvements, operations and maintenance, on-water recreation, public access, interpretive opportunities, and a recreational fishing program.

reation Area. Existing amenities include a two-lane concrete boat launch and boarding float, RV and tent campsites, picnic sites with tables, restrooms with flush toilets, gravel parking area, a viewpoint of Boundary Dam, and a historic miner’s log cabin. SCL will add more campsites and dayuse picnic sites; improve site layout and vehicle circulation; extend the boat launch to prevent boats from getting stranded when the reservoir is low; and improve ADA access.

Metaline Park Boat Launch. SCL will make improvements to the portion of the park that is adjacent to Boundary Reservoir, including replacing the existing boat launch and extending a boat ramp to facilitate launching/retrieving boats; improving parking and circulation for boats/trailers; and providing an ADA accessible restroom.

Recreation Sites on Boundary Reservoir. SCL will improve shorelinerelated recreation sites on Boundary Reservoir for camping and fishing; and add sanitation systems, picnic tables, fire rings, and watercraft landing/tie up areas at six of these sites.

Visitor Centers. SCL will update visitor centers at the Boundary Project with new interpretive materials and ADA improvements.

The Vista House is a day use area located on the east side of Boundary Reservoir and includes an observation building with interpretive displays and restrooms, and an outdoor viewing platform that is accessed via a gravel trail. The Tailrace Recreation area is located immediately downstream of Boundary Dam on the western bank of the Pend Oreille River and provides a space for visitors to relax and enjoy views of Boundary Dam. A Visitors’ Gallery, located inside Boundary Powerhouse, is open on a seasonal basis providing views of the generator floor and interpretive panels that explain how electricity is generated at the project.

Trails. SCL will construct three new recreational trails on the east side of Boundary Reservoir: a trailhead and ADA-accessible trail extending from NFS road 3165315 and leading to a viewpoint of Peewee Falls; a trailhead and ADA-accessible trail in the vicinity of the Riverside Mine near Slate Creek leading to a viewpoint of the canyon; and an approximately 7-8 mile long trail connecting the Peewee Falls and Riverside Mine viewpoints.

Metaline Falls Portage and Boat Access. SCL will develop a route for boaters to take their boats out of the river, walk the boats around the falls, and put them back in the river below the falls.

The site will include an area for visitors to drive in and launch non-motorized craft at the site and a restroom.

Interpretation and education. SCL will develop a visitor interpretation and education program that includes education on energy production, environmental conservation, and information about facilities or use areas to visit. Measures may include signs, kiosks, exhibits, displays, pamphlets, web-based information, etc.

Recreational Fishing Program. SCL will stock westslope cutthroat, rainbow, rainbow triploid or tiger trout in various lakes

in Pend Oreille and Stevens counties.

Additional information can be obtained at the Boundary visitors’ gallery.
