THE LEWISTON TRIBUNE BUSINESS Low ... lo Mortgage rates dr What Lewiston- Clarkston Valley consum- ers put into their carts may have a larger effect on how much they spend on groceries than where they shop. That’s one of my theo- ries after participating in a nonscientific compari- son the Lewiston Tribune recently completed at this community’s larg- est supermarkets — Walmart and Albertsons in Clarkston and Safeway and Ro- sauers in Lewiston. We recorded the lowest prices of 20 staples, regardless of brand, at each of those retailers on Tuesday. (See accompanying graphic.) The total from Walmart was the cheapest at $31.92. The world’s largest I don’t know how well the groceries on our list match with what an aver- age family purchases. It was the best guess of the Tribune’s managing edi- tor, city editor and myself of some of what a typical household might need on a weekly basis. What your tastes are has a huge effect on how much you spend. Red delicious was the cheapest kind of apples at two stores. That point was underlined even more when we looked at the most expensive kind of three items. A loaf of sliced, packaged bread, for example, is as little as 79 cents or as much as $4.69. Prices can vary a lot from week to week and even from day to day, which is why we made sure all the comparisons happened on a single day. One of the most obvious examples of that is when Rosauers has its one-day sales. We recorded the lowest price even if an item was on sale. We have no way of knowing if stores actually ever charge the We didn’t use coupons or deals that were only valid for a quantity larger than one on our list. But we did count club prices at Safeway and willing to provide nominal information such as their Albertsons, for instance, than those at Walmart, even though in one in- stance the difference was only 1 cent. A 26-ounce loaf of Franz Oregon Bread Western Hazelnut cost $4.19 at Rosauers compared with $4.34 at Walmart on Tuesday. I noticed that only because at Walmart the bread was one of two kinds that were the most expensive and Rosauers had its price for the item highlighted. That made me wonder how many other similar examples there would be if our research had been more comprehensive. Plus, judging what products were the same was more difficult than you might think, even when you don’t consider ques- tions such as: “Is the house brand of Walmart — Great Value — every bit as good as Rosauers’ house brand — Western Family?

(Bert) Curtis sat in his wheelchair at the base of Dworshak Dam, declared the monolith a success and predicted the 53-mile-long reservoir behind it would forever be a recreation- al mecca to Clearwater County. Today, those who knew Curtis say he might be drowning in regret amid broken promises. “I would hope he didn’t visualize it being like it is,” says former Idaho state Sen. Marguerite McLaughlin of Orofino. “The prom- ises were made, but they weren’t kept.” The federal government, say those who remember, promised that halting the free-flowing North Fork of the Clearwater River would be mitigated, in part, by the creation of a huge lake where fishing, boating and camping would replace the kind of rugged canyon recreation the river had offered. “One of the big concessions was that they would keep a full pool for us for recreational value to make up for all the things we lost along the river,” recalls Alex Irby of Orofino, a former Idaho Fish and Game commissioner. “But I’ve noticed that the feds don’t always keep their promises because they change their faces.” The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates the dam and By DAVID JOHNSON OF THE TRIBUNE OROFINO — Future manage- ment of Dworshak State Park hinges on officials with Clearwater County, the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hammer- ing out a new lease agreement. Whether such an agreement can be reached in time to keep the park open after January and beyond re- mains unclear. “I think what we have here is will- ing parties on all three sides trying to make this happen,” says Nancy Merrill, director of the recreation department. Clearwater County Commission Chairman Don Ebert echoes the as- sessment and says no other options seem available. “It’s one of those things that I never dreamed I’d be dealing with,” Ebert says of the county possibly taking over man- agement of the park. “But I guess at’s our job, to try and look out for he county. So trusch at Walla Walla says the fed- eral government supports the coun- ty assuming park management. “Everybody is really hoping that works out for them.” If a county-state agreement is not struck, the park could begin closing as early as January. “As of the end the calendar year, we’re not going to be putting any more money into Dworshak,” says David White, regional manager for IDPR out of Coeur d’Alene. “We’re there through the end of the cal- endar year (2009).

What Lewiston-Clarkston Valley consum-ers put into their carts may have a larger effect on how much they spend on groceries than where they shop.That’s one of my theo-ries after participating in a nonscientific compari-son the Lewiston Tribune recently completed at this community’s larg-est supermarkets — Walmart and Albertsons in Clarkston and Safeway and Ro-sauers in Lewiston. We recorded the lowest prices of 20 staples, regardless of brand, at each of those retailers on Tuesday. (Seeaccompanyinggraphic.)

The total from Walmart was the cheapest at $31.92. The world’s largest retailer was fol-lowed by Albert-sons at $37.29 and Rosau-ers at $38.25. Those totals don’t include sales tax.Safeway was the most expensive based on all of the items other than pea-nut butter, which it didn’t carry in the amount se-lected for the price check. Even without the peanut butter, Safeway came in at $37.41.But that in no way guarantees people who shop at Walmart spend less than those who go to other stores for a variety of reasons.

I don’t know how well the groceries on our list match with what an aver-age family purchases. It was the best guess of the Tribune’s managing edi-tor, city editor and myself of some of what a typical household might need on a weekly basis. What your tastes are has

a huge effect on how much you spend. Red delicious was the cheapest kind of apples at two stores. That point was underlined even more when we looked at the most expensive kind of three items.

We have no way of knowing if stores actually ever charge the regular price. We didn’t use coupons or deals that were only valid for a quantity larger than one on our list. But we did count club prices at Safeway and Albertsons because the stores offer the savings for free to anyone who is willing to provide nominal information such as their telephone number.And we found that Walmart didn’t have the lowest price in every case.Albertsons, for instance, had six items that cost less than those at Walmart, even though in one in-stance the difference was only 1 cent.

Clarkston drug store returns to its roots with inclusion of furniture section in basementBy ELAINE WILLIAMSOF THE TRIBUNEAspirin. Camera supplies. Couch.That’s how the list might read of a

shopper heading to Wasem’s Drug in Clarkston, since the addition of a new department that carries furniture and floor coverings along with providing design services to its customers.

Unusual as that combination might sound, the manager of the depart-ment, Chris Schmidt, said it’s hap-pened more than once since the ex-pansion.

Customers will stop by to pick up their prescriptions and head into the basement to check out what she has at The Design Center. Pretty soon they’re redoing their entire living room. “It’s incredible,” Schmidt said. “Twelve or 15 people are going ‘Oh my gosh’ every single day.”She selected brands at a range of price points so she can sell to the peo-ple at a variety of income levels who patronize Wasem’s. She credits that strategy with helping her grow what was already a strong business in spite of the economy. She had clients who waited during

the months she was making the tran-sition from her former employer, In-teriors Etc. in downtown Lewiston, to Wasem’s. Now a whole new group of people have discovered her. “I’m just swamped. I haven’t noticed any de-cline whatsoever in my business.”

Schmidt’s department occupies the same space where Wasem’s stocks its line of gifts and art supplies, and wine- and beer-making equipment. The selection of that merchandise has been expanded by rearranging the displays to make more efficient use of the space, Schmidt said.The changes are a part of how Wasem’s is restructuring after the death of its public face and one of its owners, Clifford Wasem, about a year ago in a car accident. Schmidt has been the significant other of his son, Rick Wasem, for 29 years. They met when she worked

in cosmetics at Wasem’s. The elder Wasem had encouraged Schmidt to bring her talents to Wasem’s. After Cliff Wasem’s death, the idea seemed to fall into place because it allows Schmidt and Rick Wasem to work more closely together, some-thing that is helping them recover from the loss. Though Cliff Wasem was 80 when he died, he still had an active role in the business. Like Rick Wasem, Cliff Wasem was a pharmacist and the desks of the father and son were close together.

At the same time, the change hon-ors the history of Wasem’s, which de-cades earlier carried furniture. “You just kind of feel like Cliff is going ‘Yahoo,’ ” Schmidt said. ———Williams may be contacted at ewilliam@

What kind of tree fi ts your style?By MICHELLE CHAPMANOF THE ASSOCIATED PRESSNEW YORK — With images of spray-on snow and tacky plastic needles dancing in their heads — especially after the craze for renditions in red — many holiday pur-ists dismiss fake Christ-mas trees.

Pragmatists tally the time and energy spent growing and buying a real tree and tending it indoors and see advan-tages in the artificial, however — like not hav-ing to clean up needles and sap or even string lights in some cases.While environmental concerns weigh in favor of real trees and artifi-cial trees cost less over time, it may be most helpful to think of your tree choice as a question of style.Do you cherish brav-ing the chill winter air — perhaps the whole family heading all the way to the tree farm — to choose a tree to bring home and decorate? Or is the natural aroma of pine, spruce or fir outweighed by the pre-dictability of a perfectly triangular tree that’s always the right height for your living room?Here are some ways to compare.

1. PRICING THE TREEA real tree can cost less than $10 but typical-ly runs closer to $100 or more, depending on size and species. Artificial trees generally sell for $25 to about $400 but can hit $2,000, depending on size and features like lighting and stands and extras like storage bags. So a fake tree is likely to be cheaper once you spread the cost over the typical five- to 10-year lifespan.2. THE HASSLE FACTORReal trees can bring some real headaches. Even with proper water-ing, a pine purchased

OF THE TRIBUNE

The temperature was

freezing, but it didn’t stop

what seemed to be the

whole valley from turning

out for the 23rd Clarkston

lighted Christmas parade

on Saturday.

As dusk fell

along with the

mercury, hun-

dreds of entrants

lined up along

Diagonal Street

and busied them-

selves with the

final touches on

their costumes

and their floats,

both sometimes

aglow with bat-

t e r y - p o w e r e d ,

twinkling strings of col-

ored lights.

“I’ve gone to this parade

every year I’ve been here,

and I’ve always wanted

to do this,” said Lewis-

ton dentist John Johnson,

standing along a trailer

carrying hay bales and a

sign declaring “Dr. John-

son Saves Christmas.”

And how exactly does

a dentist save the year’s

most-anticipated holiday?

By taking care of a red-

nosed reindeer’s tooth-

ache, of course.

“I’m saving Rudolph,”

Johnson said, gesturing

toward a vintage-looking,

powder-blue upholstered

chair in the center of the

float. “He’ll be there in the

dentist’s chair during the

parade.”

Johnson, who’s lived in

the valley for 13

years, said he

dropped about

$500 on the float

and costumes for

his children, his

employees and

their children.

Office assistants

became elves,

and youngsters

transformed into

snowmen and

gift boxes.

Just off the Sixth Street

parade route, in the small

parking lot next to the

Moose Lodge, the “Penguin

Lady” readied her entry.

Otherwise known as Kathy

Carlson of Clarkston, she

said dozens of the flight-

less, Antarctic birds deco-

rate her home.

But their tight, com-

munal way of living takes

on a special meaning near

Christmas time, Carlson

said.“I actually have them

all year at my house,” she

said. “But I love them be-

cause they’re so family ori-

ented.”A music teacher at Holy

Family Elementary and a

junior regent for the Wom-

en of the Moose, Carlson’s

lodge-sponsored float

featured several season-

ally appropriate air-blown

lawn ornaments. The stars,

however, were two human-

sized penguins — actually

Heather Beaver and her 11-

year-old daughter, Meka

Beaver, of Clarkston.

Most people watching

the parade could bundle up

all they wanted with heavy

coats, knit caps, gloves,

scarves and boots. But all

the members of the Lewis-

ton High School marching

band had were their new

purple and gold uniforms.

They were undaunted,

however.

“It’s pretty cold,” said

18-year-old senior trom-

bonist Katee McCormick,

who had to yell as a nearby

sousaphone burped out the

bass line to “Soul Man.”

“But my sophomore year

was the coldest. It was too

cold to even snow.”

The key to staying warm

when only wearing band

attire is layering, she said.

The new uniforms, though

they were closely tailored,

afforded much more room

underneath than the old

wool numbers.

“These are our first new

uniforms in 20 years,” she

said. ———

OF THE IDAHO STATESMAN

BOISE — Andy Louie

was a teenager in the 1940s,

living a hardscrabble life in

southern China. Starvation

was rampant, the Japanese

occupied the region and

the future looked bleak.

“We were caught in the

war without the presence

of my father,” said Louie,

whose brother, Shin Fong,

died at age 4 of malnutri-

tion and lack of medical

care. “My mother was dev-

astated. It just broke her

heart.”But Louie had hope in

the same land where his

father, grandfather and

great-grandfather had

found it.

Like his own father and

grandfather before him,

Louie’s father, Wing Jong,

or William, grew vegeta-

bles along the river in the

Boise valley, in an area that

would later become Gar-

den City and give “Chin-

den” its name — shorthand

for Chinese gardens.

Restrictive immigration

laws that had prevented

many Chinese laborers

from becoming natural-

ized citizens and bringing

their families to the United

States were repealed dur-

ing the war. In the late

1940s, Louie’s father be-

gan the legal process of

bringing his family to the

U.S. Louie’s mother, Hel-

en, came in May 1949.

But the family hit a se-

rious snag when the de-

mands of the United States

bureaucracy ran into the

realities of the village of

rice farmers where Louie

— known in China as Chek

Fong — was born.

COEUR D’ALENE

— Police in northern

Idaho say a pickup truck

belonging to a Muslim of

Jordanian descent has

been vandalized with two

spray-painted swastikas

and a racial slur.

Coeur d’Alene police

said the vandalism oc-

curred Thursday night in

a downtown area of the

city, and that a front tire

was also slashed. Police

said they are investigat-

ing the incident as a hate

crime.Haitham Joudeh, 33,

said he was celebrating

a friend’s birthday and

left his black Ford F350

downtown.

“It makes me feel like I

don’t belong in this place,”

he told The Spokesman-

Review. “It makes me

fear for my life and my

family’s life. I mean,

what’s next? They’re go-

ing to come to my house?

Seriously, what’s going to

be next?”

The Kootenai County

Task Force on Human Re-

lations said the incident

is the seventh hate crime

in the Inland Northwest

since May.

Joudeh said on Friday

he found a racist flier

from the Aryan Nations

in a plastic baggie on his

lawn. The flier was simi-

lar to others distributed

in several other Inland

Northwest neighborhoods

in recent months.

Joudeh, owner of Jor-

dan International Trade

and Contracting in Coeur

d’Alene, said he has faced

harassment since filing a

$25 million claim in April

against Kootenai County

commissioners and a lo-

cal fire district, contend-

ing his building applica-

tion was denied because

of religious and racial dis-

crimination.

He contended com-

missioners in February

denied his application to

build 141 storage units in

Mica Flats because of his

Islamic faith and Mid-

dle Eastern descent. He

claimed the fire district

made arbitrary require-

ments for the same rea-

sons.Kootenai County com-

missioners deny that race

was any factor, and Board

Chairman Rick Currie

said that accusation is an

“embarrassment to the

residents of our county.”

He condemned the van-

dalism to Joudeh’s truck.

“That is absolutely un-

acceptable,” Currie said.

“There is no place in this

country for that type of

action. It is something we

cannot tolerate.”

Clearwater County gave

up free-fl owing river, but

says federal government

hasn’t fulfi lled bargain

By DAVID JOHNSON

OF THE TRIBUNE

AHSAHKA — Almost 25

years ago, at the age of 81, for-

mer Orofino Mayor A.B. (Bert)

Curtis sat in his wheelchair at

the base of Dworshak Dam,

declared the monolith a success

and predicted the 53-mile-long

reservoir behind it would forever be a

recreation-

al mecca to

Clearwater

County.Today,

those who

knew Curtis

say he might be drowning in

regret amid

broken promises.

“I would

hope he didn’t visualize it

being like

it is,” says

former Idaho state Sen.

Marguerite

McLaughlin

of Orofino.

“The prom-

ises were made, but they weren’t kept.”

The federal government, say

those who remember, promised

that halting the free-flowing

North Fork of the Clearwater

River would be mitigated, in

part, by the creation of a huge

lake where fishing, boating and

camping would replace the kind

of rugged canyon recreation the

river had offered.

“One of the big concessions

was that they would keep a

full pool for us for recreational

value to make up for all the

things we lost along the river,”

recalls Alex Irby of Orofino, a

former Idaho Fish and Game

commissioner. “But I’ve noticed

that the feds don’t always keep

their promises because they

change their faces.”

OROFINO — Future manage-

ment of Dworshak State Park

hinges on officials with Clearwater

County, the Idaho Department of

Parks and Recreation and the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers hammer-

ing out a new lease agreement.

Whether such an agreement can

be reached in time to keep the park

open after January and beyond re-

mains unclear.

“I think what we have here is will-

ing parties on all three sides trying

to make this happen,” says Nancy

Merrill, director of the recreation

department.

Clearwater County Commission

Chairman Don Ebert echoes the as-

sessment and says no other options

seem available. “It’s one of those

things that I never dreamed I’d be

dealing with,” Ebert says of the

county possibly taking over man-

agement of the park. “But I guess

that’s our job, to try and look out for

the best interests of the county. So

that’s what we’re trying to do.”

Corps spokeswoman Gina Bal-

trusch at Walla Walla says the fed-

eral government supports the coun-

ty assuming park management.

“Everybody is really hoping that

works out for them.”

If a county-state agreement is not

struck, the park could begin closing

as early as January.

“As of the end the calendar year,

we’re not going to be putting any

more money into Dworshak,” says

David White, regional manager for

IDPR out of Coeur d’Alene. “We’re

there through the end of the cal-

endar year (2009). At that point, I

don’t know who will be in charge,

and what will still be open and not

open.”The state issued a letter to the

corps in November requesting to

be released from its management

lease. The move, said to be trig-

WASHINGTON — Senate Repub-

licans forced Democrats to vote in

favor of cutting billions from pro-

viders of home care for older people

as partisan debate flared Saturday

during a rare weekend session on

President Barack Obama’s health

care overhaul.

Obama planned to travel to Capi-

tol Hill today to help Democrats re-

solve internal disputes that stand in

the way of Majority Leader Harry

Reid bringing the 10-year, nearly $1

trillion legislation to a vote.

Ahead of his visit, Republicans,

bent on making Democrats cast po-

litically risky votes, offered their

third amendment in the debate so

far showcasing more than $400 bil-

lion in cuts to projected Medicare

spending that would pay for the bill,

mostly for subsidies to help extend

coverage to millions of uninsured.

Like the other two, this one went

down to defeat, on a vote of 53 to 41.

The measure by Sen. Mike Johanns,

R-Neb., would have eliminated $42

billion in cuts over 10 years to agen-

cies that provide home health care

to seniors under Medicare.

Four moderate Democrats joined

all Republicans present in voting

for the amendment: Sens. Jim Webb

of Virginia, Evan Bayh of Indiana,

Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and

Ben Nelson of Nebraska.

Underscoring the pressures on the

moderates, Lincoln, who faces a dif-

ficult re-election next year, initially

cast a “no” vote with the Democratic

majority but switched to “yes” in the

course of the 15-minute vote. Republi-

cans accused her of flip-flopping, but
