Flags will be removed from the Newport Cemetery at 3 p.m. Monday.
No carnival for the rodeo yetNEWPORT – The Newport/Oldtown
Chamber of Commerce is searching for a carnival for the Newport Rodeo, to be held June 26-27. As of Tuesday, executive director Dave Livingston said he had calls into three carnivals in Washington and Oregon, but is still waiting for a call back.
“We’re confident we’re going to get one,” he said.
For the past five years, Paradise Amuse-ments of Libby, Mont., has provided the carnival at the rodeo, but the contract was up last year. Livingston said he tried to renew the contract by writing a letter to owner Sherry McKay. McKay told The
Miner that because she had not heard from the chamber and didn’t have a contract, she booked another event for that weekend. The chamber is responsible for the carnival and other outside booth space at the rodeo. The Newport Rodeo Association organizes the actual rodeo. The chamber’s board of directors was made aware of the situation by Livingston at a board meeting Thursday, May 14. It wasn’t clear why the chamber just started to confirm a carnival last week.
Meeting set to discuss public gardenPRIEST RIVER – A public meeting will
be held Thursday, May 21 to discuss a
public garden in Priest River. The meet-ing will be 6 p.m. at city hall.
Two property owners will allow the city to use their land in the city as public gar-den, where people can plant and harvest their own fruits and vegetables. Anyone interested in finding out more or helping to organize the garden is encouraged to attend.

Northern pike making splash on Pend OreilleBY MICHELLE NEDVEDOFTHEMINER
SPOKANE – Northern pike are becoming a successful sport fishery in the Pend Oreille River, and tournaments are being held a couple times a year.
Most recently, Keith Hoffman of Gone Fishin’ Lure Co. of Spokane, held a tournament April 18-19 at Box Canyon Dam. He said it was a partial success, but the weather wasn’t as warm as he had hoped.
Hoffman said he held the tournament not to make a profit, but to raise money to put into research of northern pike on the river.
“Until the research is done, we won’t have regulations implemented on pike in the river,”
he said. “I would like to see a trophy fishery preserved for many years to come. If managed properly, a trophy fishery for pike as well as the other highly targeted fish in the river is possible.”
The tournament consisted of 15 anglers and six people serving as judges, two of which were biologists from the Kalispel Tribe of Indians.
Several fish were hooked but only two were landed. The water had warmed enough to put the fish in the spawn, Hoffman said, making them nearly impossible to catch, especially using artificial lures only. The winning fish went to Ryan Quaintance. It measured 25 inches. The other fish caught was even smaller at 22 inches, by Hoffman’s grandfather Tom McManus.
Hoffman said he plans to hold the tourna-ment again next year, at a later date to avoid spawning. He said this was a learning year, and he’ll take what he learned and use it next year.
Fishing on the Pend Oreille River is open year-round, but a license is required from the state you are fishing in.
“Until the research is done, we won’t have regulations implemented on pike in the river.”

PUD turbine project may be delayed
Manufacturer behind scheduleBY JANELLE ATYEOOFTHEMINER
NEWPORT – Crews at Box Canyon Dam have been gear-ing up for the first new turbine that is to be installed there over the next year. But the unit is behind schedule at the manu-facturer, and the project may have to be delayed a year.
Timing is critical for install-ing the massive new unit. The current schedule has it
complete by March 15, 2010. The turbine needs to be in opera-tion by the time spring melt starts
causing high flows in the Pend Oreille River. If the turbine is

Verizon sells out of this areaFrontier will take over in Pend Oreille and Bonner countiesBY YOUSSEF SLEIMANOFTHEMINER
NEW YORK – The last major telephone company in Pend Oreille and Bonner counties has sold its remaining fiber-optic and landline telephone
accounts. The historic departure of
Verizon Communications’ resi-dential service from Newport, Priest River, Priest Lake and Sandpoint – as well as 10 other states – will transition own-ership to Connecticut-based Frontier Communications.

Extension program not expecting large cuts
BY JANELLE ATYEOOFTHEMINER
NEWPORT – Though the Washington State University announced a proposal to cut $3.14 million from the exten-sion program in order to deal with state budget reductions, the Pend Oreille County branch is not expecting any large cuts.
“We’re fine,” extension agent Janet Lambarth said, adding that the 4-H program is part of extension and should not be
cut. She said there will likely be
no increase in salaries for the next two years, and the office may not receive its allocation for postage and bulk mailing. Pend Oreille extension current-ly has a $2,800 annual budget for mailing. The office sends out three quarterly newslet-ters: the 4-H Pipeline, Garden-ing in Pend, and Diggings, for which extension partners with the Kalispel Tribe of Indians.

Two Selkirk teachers laid offTwo more teachers won’t be replacedBY JANELLE ATYEOOFTHEMINER
METALINE – Amidst funding cuts and declining enrollment, the Selkirk School District has laid off one full-time and one part-time teacher. Two teachers who either retired or
resigned will not be replaced next school year, and one staff member had hours reduced.
Notices went out to staff Friday, May 15. One full-time teacher in the high school was laid off.
“Once the budget is finalized I am hoping the funding will be there to rehire this staff person,” superintendent Nancy Lotze said.

BOOKS DISCUSSIONSBooks are now available for the 2009 Let’s Talk About It program. The Blanchard Library is one of 15 Idaho libraries to receive the Let’s Talk About It grant, which is funded by the Idaho Com-mission for Libraries, the Idaho Humanities Council and US Bancorp. Idaho libraries have been bringing reading and dis-cussion programs to their communities since 1985. The addition of a program speaker is what makes Let’s Talk About It different from a traditional book discussion program. Let’s Talk About It brings together humanities scholars and adult readers in public libraries to read and discuss literature that explores American values, history and culture. Let’s Talk About It will run every other Tuesday for 10 weeks at 6 p.m., beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 15 with a discussion of Huckleberry
Finn by Mark Twain. On Tuesday, Sept. 29, the topic will be Thoreau’s Walden. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald will be the subject on Oct. 13. Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston will be discussed on Oct. 27, and the series will conclude on Nov. 10 with the Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway. Books are available at both the Priest River and Blanchard branch librar-ies. For more information call the Priest River Library at 208-448-2207 or the Blanchard Library at 208-437-0801.
ENTREE GALLERYThe Entree Gallery at Coo-lin Bay is currently show-ing “Expressions In Color,” featuring the dramatic oil paintings of internationally recognized wildlife artist Terry Lee, whose work can be found in prominent galleries, and in private and corporate collections throughout the world. The show, which runs through the end of the season, highlights Lee’s im-pressionistic style of broad sweeping strokes and layers of bold color, resulting in intense light and shadow. His use of large canvasses and vivid color create a strong sense of energy and movement, often causing gallery visitors to stop in mid-sentence when they come upon his work. Visitors at the Coolin gal-lery will have an opportunity to meet Lee on Saturday,
Sept. 5 from 1-4 p.m., when he will be on the grounds to demonstrate his personal style of oil painting on over-sized canvasses. Other upcoming dem-onstrations at the gallery include photography on copper by Kay Langlund and jewelry by Monique Lott on Aug. 22.
‘COWBOY FROM THE SOUL’T.J. Casey “Montana’s Sing-ing Cowboy” will perform at the Cutter Theatre in Metaline Falls Thursday, Aug. 27 at 7:30 p.m. Casey describes himself as pure cowboy, with a long history of life spent in the saddle working on ranches throughout the American West. For Casey, the music springs from the powerful oral history of the cowboy’s stories, poems and songs. The Sagebrush Cow-boyography Association in Sheridan, Wyo., describes Casey as a “high energy entertainer with a complete repertoire of cowboy humor, songs and poems.” Cutter Theatre directors said they are proud to present such an experienced and profes-sional performer for your entertainment.
Two local restaurants, Granny’s in Metaline and Ken’s Grill & Bar in Ione, will be serving a special pre-per-formance dinner. Contact them individually for prices and reservations. Tickets for the concert are $15 and may be reserved by calling the Cutter at 509-446-4108.

Businesses network at summit
PRIEST RIVER – The Priest River Networking Team invites local business people to attend a Business Growth Summit Tuesday, Sept. 21, in the Beardmore Building in downtown Priest River.
The PRNT is hosting this event to promote interac-tion between local busi-nesses. There are four parts to the evening. Appetizers and refreshments begin the evening, followed by speed networking, so bring your business cards. Next, Tom Chasse, the CEO of Sch-weitzer Mountain Resort will present on marketing and new growth ideas to help your business “reach the summit.” Afterwards will be wine tasting and tours of the Beardmore Building.
County ponders waterfront land swapPRIEST LAKE – Discus-
sion of a controversial land trade between Bonner County and Bishop’s Marina at Coolin continues Wednes-day, Sept. 15, at a county commissioner public hear-ing at 1 p.m. in the county’s administrative building in Sandpoint.
Operators of Bishop’s Marina have petitioned the county to vacate a portion of Slee Street so the marina can improve access and parking. In turn, the marina would dedicate a portion of land equal in size connected to the county’s boat launch. This would make it easier for vehicles to maneuver at the site.
Some people are protest-ing the proposal because the piece of land the county would be giving up is water-front. Some signs have al-ready materialized restrict-ing access to the parcel, even though the county has yet to approve the deal.
The commissioners continued the discussion last month to give marina operators a chance to have two-thirds of the residents of the first addition to the town of Coolin sign a petition in favor of the land swap.
Library planning continues in Blanchard
PRIEST RIVER – Planning for the future of the West Bonner Libraries contin-ues Wednesday, Sept. 15 at 6:30 p.m. The planning committee will meet at the Blanchard Library, 412 Railroad Ave. Everyone is welcome. For more informa-tion call Alice at 208-448-1087.

PRIEST LAKE – The Bonner County Waterways Advisory Committee is meeting Thursday, Sept. 16 at 9 a.m. to discuss the possibility of a no-wake zone in all of Upper Priest Lake. The meet-ing will be held at the firehouse-snowmobile groomers building on Dickensheet Road, just south of Coolin.
Any decisions made by the com-mittee are only recommendations and have to be approved by the Bonner County commissioners.
Some area residents are sug-gesting the no wake zone that is currently in effect in the Priest Lake Thorofare be expanded to all of Upper Priest Lake. There is already a “no water skiing” rule, but that excludes wakeboard-
ing and jet skis. The U.S. Forest Service already has designated the area as “scenic,” protecting the area from logging and other development that would change the views and nature of the area, but the water is out of the Forest Service’s jurisdiction.
The proposed no-wake zone would not prohibit motorized boats from entering Upper Priest Lake. It would just reduce the al-lowed speed limit.
The thorofare is a 3-mile stretch of water that connects Priest Lake to Upper Priest Lake.
Erosion has threatened the sides of the water passage and study of the area has been completed over the last several years to see how to preserve its condition. Motorized vehicles are not allowed in the area, so access is limited to foot, bike or boat.

Racing at the lakeThe first annual Priest Lake Triathlon was held Saturday, Aug. 28, starting at 8 a.m. The race included an Olympic-distance road bike course of 40 kilometers, a 1,500-meter swim and 10K run. There was also a sprint course, which consisted of a 350-meter swim, 11-mile bike ride and 3.1-mile run for individuals or teams. A portion of event proceeds were donated to support the following volunteer organizations: Priest Lake Ambulance, Priest Lake Search and Rescue and Bonner Community Hospice.
COLVILLE – A gray wolf pup recently trapped and radio-col-lared near the Canadian border in Pend Oreille County indicates the state may be home to a third breeding wolf pack.
A wolf specialist hired by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) caught the 50-pound young wolf earlier this month in northern Pend Oreille County, just south of the Canadian border. Attempts are under way to locate and radio-collar adult wolves in the area.
The presence of the pup and photos of other wolves captured on a remote camera in the area indicate there is a pack in the area, said Harriet Allen, who heads WDFW’s endangered-spe-cies section.
“We don’t know at this point
whether the den where the pup was born was in Washington or British Columbia,” Allen said. “We plan to monitor the pack next spring to determine the den location. If the den is in Wash-ington, the pack can be consid-ered a Washington pack; if the den is in British Columbia, it is a Canadian pack. Our Canadian colleagues are aware of wolf ac-tivity in that area, and will assist with monitoring on their side of the border.”
A successful breeding wolf pack is documented by locating a breeding pair of adults with two or more pups that survive until Dec. 31, Allen said.
Washington’s first docu-mented wolf pack was found in July 2008 in western Okanogan County. By December 2009
that pack, named the “Lookout Pack,” included seven animals – two adults, a 2-year-old wolf and four pups born in 2009.
“The status of the Lookout Pack is uncertain at this time,” Allen said, adding that WDFW has been unable to locate the female wolf since mid-May. The male is still being monitored and no new pups have been found.
Washington’s second docu-mented wolf pack was found in July 2009 farther south in Pend Oreille County. Two adult wolves in that pack produced six pups in 2009 and six this year. At least four of the pups born in 2009 survived until the end of the year. The pack moves between Washington and Idaho.

COOLIN - The Kalispel Tribe of Indians is looking to acquire 156 acres of land as part of the Bonn-eville Power Administration’s Albeni Falls Dam mitigation.
The land is located in the Goose Creek drainage, near Coolin, said Ray Entz, Director of Wildlife and Terrestrial Resources for the tribe.
The BPA will buy the land for the Kalispel tribe. The tribe will then own and manage the land for mitigation while the BPA receives credit for mitigating habitat losses due to the con-struction of Albeni Falls Dam. The dam is located near Oldtown
and was built in the 1950s. The dam caused the Pend Oreille River to rise and eliminated wild-life habitat.
The tribe wants the land so it can better manage wildlife habi-tat, Entz said. The tribe can then create wetlands or plant native plants in stream corridors that will contribute to wildlife habitat. He said the last bit of land they are trying to buy for this project is located between two other par-cels the tribe already owns. The other two parcels total about 620 acres, he said.
Altogether, the tribe owns about 1,500 acres of land in Idaho and 2,800 acres in Wash-ington, all acquired through the

Metaline Falls make an appearanceThe town of Metaline Falls overlooks its namesake on the Pend Oreille River. The waterfalls are usually not visible because Boundary Dam keeps the water levels high. The river was drawn down to 1,950 feet above sea level last week to remove a maintenance gate for refurbishing. Levels were lower than they had been in nearly 30 years. They were brought back to normal (1,990 feet) this week, but by Thursday they’ll drop another 20 feet as the gate is hauled out of the reservoir. The reservoir remains open for public use, but the Boundary recreation area and campground will be closed until Nov. 1. The last time Metaline Falls could be seen was three years ago when the water level was dropped to 1,970 feet for erosion studies.

Juries still necessaryBY DON GRONNINGOFTHEMINER
NEWPORT – Every other month 125 people in Pend Oreille County get a notice in the mail that they have been selected for jury duty. They are randomly selected from drivers license records, voter rolls and lists of people who own property.
But getting a notice doesn’t mean you’ll have to serve on a jury, according to District Court Judge Phillip Van de Veer. He says there just are not that many jury trials in Pend Oreille County – maybe one a year for Superior Court and three or four for Dis-trict Court.
“So far this year there haven’t been any,” he said.
Less than half the people called to jury duty return the form, as is required.
“The form requires a response,“ Van de Veer said. But there isn’t usually action taken if a person doesn’t return it, he said. He said he did call a woman juror who
just didn’t show up after being chosen for the jury and threat-ened to send a deputy to get her.
Van de Veer said that people could face civil contempt if they don’t fill out the form, but that usually doesn’t happen.
Of the 40-60 people who do return the form, about 20 are randomly selected. If it looks like there is a jury trial coming – ei-ther civil or criminal – they are contacted by phone. After they receive the phone call, they are required to call every week to see if they need to come to the Hall of Justice in Newport. They stay on the list of potential jurors for two months.
Twelve jurors plus an alternate are needed for a Superior Court trial, six and an alternate for Dis-trict Court. But during the actual selection of the jury, each side’s attorneys are allowed to elimi-nate three jurors for any or no reason and as many as they need to for cause.
