Our Values
A lot of work has gone into the creation of our new chamber. We have new by-laws, new vision and mission statements,
and new values and value statements. Value statements provide guidelines for directing our actions going forward.
They are so important to our organization; we thought we should share them with you here.
Integrity: We maintain unwavering professionalism and adherence to our values, our mission and our vision. We
build credibility and trust with our membership, throughout our community and beyond. Our Values, Mission
and Vision set the standard for chamber’s performance, how the staff and board conduct the daily activities
and make decisions on behalf of the chamber.
Don Montgomery
Co-Chairman, Lewis Clark
Valley Chamber
Waddell & Reed
Leadership: We demonstrate our role as the business leader of our community. Significant issues affecting
the valley’s business community on both sides of the river will be addressed by our board. For some issues
we might survey our membership. For others we might investigate and share our findings. Some issues may
require immediate action by the board or executive committee. We will ensure that all of our decisions and
actions are made carefully, with prudence and adherence to our mission, vision and values.
Accountability: We deliver on our promises and we accept responsibility, individually and collectively, for
our actions and decisions. We are first and foremost accountable to our membership, to ensure their chamber
is bringing maximum value to their investment.
Community: We are a substantial voice of the community and hold community related issues in the highest
regard. Sense of community and cooperation were paramount to the creation of this new chamber. We want
to continue acting on these notions in hopes that our actions will be contagious and spread to other like entities
throughout the Valley and beyond.
Dave Pankey
Co-Chairman, Lewis Clark
Valley Chamber
Regence BlueShield of Idaho
Representation: We are committed to serving our membership before ourselves. We represent the business community
of our membership in its entirety and not our own special interests. The merger is an example of this. Our membership
provided the directive, voting 90 percent in favor. We made it happen in spite of sacrifices required by both sides.
Financial Responsibility: We strictly adhere to our budget, ensuring the chamber’s activities are administered with maximum efficiency
and our members’ investments reflect the greatest value. We placed a great deal of effort into making sure our budget for 2011 was realistic and
met the needs of our membership. It wasn’t easy with it being the first year however we have confidence in our own accountant MaryAnn and
others who helped us create the budget.
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome Jim Bennett, Lewiston’s new city manager to the community. We are very excited about the
fresh new and creative ideas Jim brings and we are looking forward to working with him to create a vibrant business environment and quality
way of life in the Lewis Clark Valley. Welcome to the Valley Jim!
As expected, the merger has resulted in increased participation at some of our chamber events. A recent example was our Spring Break Dinner
and Auction. We would like to extend a special thanks to all our members who attended our signature fundraising event and contributed to a
record breaking attendance. We would also like to acknowledge the long hours and hard work by the committee that resulted in this amazing
accomplishment.
Another major chamber event, the Inland Northwest Outdoor Show (INWOS), was also very successful at drawing large crowds during its three
day run. The INWOS committee meets continually throughout the year to ensure the event successfully showcases the area’s unique outdoor
sporting activities. We would like to extend a special thanks to all who attended this year’s INWOS and especially to the INWOS committee for
your time and commitment to this important chamber event.
These two events came together at the same time and even
shared an overlapping evening. In spite of the timing, both events
were a success. We would like to recognize the dedication by
Kristin and Hailey for their long hours and hard work on these
events. Congratulations and thank you for your outstanding
commitment!
Thank you
Don & Dave

Tourism Time
This week is an important week for the Valley’s tourism industry. Lewiston is hosting The Idaho Conference on Recreation
and Tourism: The New Age of Tourism, May 3 – 5 at the Red Lion Hotel. As a community, we must look for better ways to
serve and attract visitors. We cannot rely on “Well, that’s the way we’ve always done it.” The Hells Canyon Visitor Bureau,
with many others, has worked hard on planning this event for our community.
Tourism extends beyond hotels, restaurants and jet boat excursions – it includes our downtown shops, gas stations
and even our big box stores.
Are your employees prepared for out of town guests? Are you utilizing social media appropriately and to its capacity?
I hope you can find time to attend this worthwhile event. Registration is only $175 and below is a list of the daily
highlights.

Natural Resource Committee
Meeting Minutes
April 19, 2011
Jerry Myers, Chair of the Natural Resource Committee presented on the Headgate Dam fish passage modification alternatives proposed by the Salmon
Recovery Board in conjunction with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Headgate Dam is located in Headgate County Park on Asotin Creek. The
current fish passage does not meet Endangered Species Act criteria so the dam is in need of an updated fish passage. Six alternatives have been proposed:
1) Development of a roughened channel where the current channel exists. A roughened channel consists of a bed of large rocks.
2) A roughened channel on the right bank.
3) A roughened channel on the left bank.
4) Removing the dam and re-grading the channel.
5) Constructing a pool and chute fish-way, which is a concrete structure resembling stairs with a small opening in the middle for the fish to swim
through and slack-water on each side of the opening for the fish to rest.
6) Constructing a concrete fish-way on the left bank.
All plans have their pros and cons but after public input the preferred alternative is the roughened channel on the right bank. The Asotin County
Conservation District will now apply for grant funds for the Salmon Recovery Board to investigate the alternative.
Jerry announced that the gate replacement project at Lower Monumental Dam is complete. The project ran from December 2010 to March 2011 and cost
$13 million. The 700 ton gate was fabricated in three parts in Vancouver, WA and barged up the Columbia River to the dam. Also completed was the spalling
or flaking of the concrete walls of the lock using large machinery. This was done due to safety concerns from loosening and falling concrete off the locks
walls.
Jerry mentioned that some local fishing outfitters and retailers are concerned over the reopening of the spring Chinook fishery on the Lower Columbia
River. The concerns are over Chinook numbers passing Bonneville Dam not being large enough to sustain the Chinook fishery on the Snake River around
the LC Valley. The Committee discussed and will continue to follow the issue.
Wanda Keefer, Manager of the Port of Clarkston reported that there will be more log traffic due to demand from Korea, Taiwan and China.
Kristin Kemak, President/CEO of the Lewis Clark Valley Chamber reported that last weekend’s Inland Northwest Outdoor Show had around 3,000 attendees
and last weekend’s Spring Break Auction raised its largest amount ever.
The next Natural Resource Committee meeting, scheduled for May 17th, 7am at Hazels Restaurant, 601 Bridge Street, Clarkston.

Helping Your Home Breathe
By Tom Lienhard, PE, CEM
Besides people and pets, there are many things in our homes that need clean fresh air to stay
safe and healthy, but stopping air leaks is an important step in making our homes energy
efficient. So, what is the right balance?
All homes need air to keep combustion devices like natural gas furnaces and water heaters
operating efficiently and safely, and to keep down moisture and mold, eliminate stale air, and
reduce contaminants from building materials like carpet, paint and drywall. According to the
Building Performance Institute, one air change of the entire house is needed every three hours.
Usually the air exchange occurs through doors and windows being opened as we use them,
from “air in-takes” in home or furnace duct systems, from fireplaces, and from using exhaust
fans in bathrooms and kitchens. Air is also exchanged through cracks or holes around windows,
doors and pipes, but you lose mechanically heated or cooled air through those openings. To
help make your home energy efficient, you should seal those and other air leaks by caulking,
adding insulation, painting and installing vapor barriers, among other measures.
No-cost or low-cost ways to ensure that your home is energy efficient yet has adequate air
exchanges are opening windows and doors when weather permits and using bathroom and
kitchen fans for limited times. Changing the filter on your furnace and air conditioning system
will help ensure they are operating efficiently and keeping the air in your home clean.
Another option is installing an energy recovery ventilator that exchanges indoor air with outside
air with minimal impact to your energy use. Also, installing a dedicated outside air duct (OSA)
that is connected to the main return duct on your furnace can ensure a fresh air source, allowing
you to be able to seal your home as tightly as you would like.
A certified Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) professional can help you
determine the best equipment for your home. A professional home energy audit can also give
you the exact figures and understanding you need to maintain the air quality in your home.

She gave a brief update on what’s going on with INL. She also informed
our members that INL is giving CEDA $10,000 for the American
Manufacturer Network. Christine Frei with CEDA gave a little background
on the program and introduced the partnering organizations within the network. For more information, visit www.northima.org.

Inland Northwest
Outdoor Show Huge
Success
The Third Annual Inland Northwest Outdoor Show was April 8 - 10 at the
Nez Perce County Fair Pavilion. Thank you ATK CCI/Speer for being our
title sponsor again this year! We appreciate your support.
We had a great turnout this year with over 3,000 people in attendance.
We collected just over 1,000 pounds of food for the Idaho Food Bank,
that’s enough for 842 meals! The Twin River Back Country Horsemen
hosted a successful John A.K. Barker Dutch Oven Cook Off and the Boys
Scouts had a ton of activities for kids to get involved in.
Inside the fair building, attendees got to sample fudge from the Wallowa
Lake Fudge Company and have their horns scored by David Morris of
Northwest Big Game Inc. Children got to climb the Idaho Army National
Guard’s climbing wall, while their moms shopped around at B-Bar-E and
Sassy Gals.
There was something for everyone at this year’s Inland Northwest
Outdoor Show!
We’d like to thank the following who helped
make the Third Annual Inland Northwest
Outdoor Show such a success:

admission!

outdoor Lagoon Waterpark is Saturday, May 7. There are
two three-hour shifts for participants to choose from: 8
to 11 a.m. or 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Jack O’Connor Center Fundraising Raffle
The Jack O’Connor Hunting Heritage and Education Center is raffling off a priceless
commemorative Model 70 270 Winchester rifle with a pre-64 action. The original,
one of Jack’s favorite firearms, was made for him almost 50 years ago by Al Biesen.
The reproduction we are raffling off is made by Al’s son Roger and his granddaughter
Paula. The attention to detail and fine craftsmanship that went into this rifle are
evident in the final product. You can see both the original and this reproduction at
the museum located within Hells Gate State Park. You can also purchase a chance
to win it. Tickets are only $25 each or five for $100. We are only selling one thousand
tickets! You can purchase them by phone at 743.5043 or at the museum. Bradford
O’Connor will draw the winning ticket at the museum on Sat. June 4.
All proceeds from this raffle will be used to support the museum and increase
opportunities for folks to learn about hunting, conservation and nature.
Volunteers will get one free waterpark admission for
working a three-hour shift, or three free waterpark
admissions for working both shifts.
Those ages 12-14 must have an adult volunteer with
them.
Lewiston Taco Time Manager Receives National
Award Recognition
Amber Moore, manager of the Lewiston Taco Time, was awarded Manager of the Year by Kahala Corporation, the parent company of Taco Time.
She received a perfect score on her last store inspection and has averaged above 95 out of a perfect 100 on all inspections over the last three years.
The Lewiston Taco Time boasts the enviable record of having zero complaints reported.
Moore was presented a plaque at the quarterly meeting. She was nominated by her employer, Happy Day Corporation, for her enthusiasm on the
job, willingness to help everyone, profitability and overall leadership abilities.
Moore was also awarded Manager of the Year out of the 12 restaurants that Happy Day Corporation owns in the area.
“She’s a super manager,” says Bruce Finch, president of Happy Day Corporation. “She epitomizes all the traits that successful managers possess.”
Each year on Cinco de Mayo, the three valley Taco Time stores compete for the honor of selling the most tacos. In 2010, the Lewiston store reported
the highest sales volume for the day and sold the most Crisp Tacos, a total of 12,582.
“It takes a special crew to run these types of numbers,” said Pat Rogers, vice president of quick serve restaurant operations at Happy Day
Corporation.
Moore manages the highest volume store in the Taco Time company. She has worked for Happy Day Corporation since 2000 and has been general
manger since 2007.
Happy Day Corporation owns 12 restaurant locations in Lewiston, Clarkston and Moscow, an event center in Clarkston and Happy Day Catering.
The restaurants include Tomato Bros. Italian Restaurant and Steakhouse, Zany Graze, Main St. Grill, Southway Pizzeria and Deli, three Taco Time
locations, four Arby’s locations and a Moscow A&W.

Wildfire Awareness Month
The month of May is Wildfire Awareness Month as proclaimed by the Governors of Idaho, Alaska, Oregon, Nevada and California. Wildfires
increasingly pose a threat to our homes and communities as people move further into wildland areas. Even if you believe you don’t live in an area
at risk of wildfire even the smallest grass fire in a vacant lot next door or on the hillside behind your home can turn into a property-damaging
wildfire. Also, flying embers from wildfires have been recorded travelling as far as six miles from a wildfire. Soon, the weather will change and the
days will be long and hot with little rain. The dry spring weather is already taking its toll in Texas and Colorado with devastating wildfires scorching
over a million acres and destroying hundreds of homes in its path.
Whether at home or enjoying the great outdoors there are some basic tips you can use to protect you and your family from wildfire.
Tips for around the home include
• Ensure your shrubs and trees are trimmed at least 4 feet from your house and roof eaves.
• Keeping your lawn trimmed and watered.
• Store firewood, lumber and other flammable materials at least 30 feet from your home.
• Keep your roof and gutters clean and free of any leaves and debris.
• Enclose openings underneath decks, stairways and overhangs with 1/8-inch wire mesh.
• Plant fire-resistant plants around the home (non-resinous or high soap content).
• If
you’re
burning,
check
your
local
laws
for
obtaining
permits
going to be dry and windy.
Tips for the great outdoors include
and
• Check the fire danger of the area you will be visiting to ensure you’re able to have a campfire.
• Build your campfire in an area clear from overhanging limbs, steep slopes, rotten stumps, dry
grass, logs and leaves.
• Keep your campfire small.
• Never leave your campfire unattended.
• Keep a bucket of water nearby when enjoying a campfire.
• Make sure your campfire is completely out and cold to the touch.
• If you’re using equipment such as OHVs or chainsaws check local fire restrictions to ensure they
can be used and make sure they have spark arrestors.
Knowing these few tips will help keep you and your family safe from wildfire. Please take a moment
during the month of May and think about what you can do to protect you and your family against
wildfire.
For more fire prevention information or tips on how to “Firewise” your home contact Kip
Kemak, Fire Prevention & Mitigation Specialist, Nez Perce Tribe at 208.621.4621. You can also visit

Safety Classes Offered by Clarkston Fire Dept.
Learn bystander CPR
According to the American Heart Association “about 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital, but statistics
prove that if more people knew CPR, more lives could be saved. Immediate CPR can double, or even triple, a victim’s chance of survival.”
Citizen CPR classes are offered September through May, except for December, by Clarkston Fire Department Ambulance personnel at the fire
station, 820 5th Street.
The class takes approximately 2 hours and the cost is $3.00 for the AHA Heartsaver CPR class completion card.
Class size is limited to 12 participants. You must phone CFD to save a position in the class you want to attend; please phone 758-8681 during
business hours. The next classes are scheduled for April 30th and May 14th, from 9:00 to 11:00.
Learn How to Safely Use Your Extinguisher
Clarkston Fire Department Firefighter/EMTs will provide training for Clarkston
businesses on the use of fire extinguishers at your business or at the fire
station when requested.
CFD will furnish a propane fueled fire pan and water extinguishers so
participants learn how to use - then practice - operating an extinguisher in
30-45 minutes.
To learn more about fire extinguisher classes or to schedule a class for your
business please phone 758-8681 during business hours.

Hiring Temporary Staff Can be a Smart Move
With uncertainty still a major business concern, many companies are tiptoeing back into the employment market by hiring temporary workers.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of temporary employees — including independent contractors, on-call candidates, freelancers,
and other temporary or part-time workers — exceeds two million people in the United States. The skills of such workers often extend far beyond
traditional clerk and bookkeeping roles. For example, temporary employees might include chief financial officers, nurses, lawyers, accountants,
information technology professionals, manufacturing technicians, and retail staff.
The advantages of hiring temporary staff can be significant. If a key marketing manager goes on maternity leave or your resident techie packs her bags,
you may be able to find a temporary worker to fill the gap. Accepting an employee on a temporary basis allows you to evaluate that person’s skills,
performance, personality and general “fit” with your company before making a permanent offer of employment. In addition, recruiting/employment
agencies often test an employee’s skills, perform background checks, verify employment history, and handle payroll expenses, withholding taxes,
unemployment insurance, and worker’s compensation. In most cases, you won’t provide a benefits package for temporary staff, so such employees
may cost less over the short term. However, be aware that agencies often charge commissions in addition to hourly rates and may charge a separate
fee if the temporary worker is hired permanently.
If you’re considering the temporary employee option for your business, here are a few suggestions.
• Check out the agency. If possible, find an employment/recruiting agency that understands your business and specializes in the kinds of staff
you need. Discuss your goals and nail down all pertinent contract provisions including benefits (if any) to be paid, who will make final hiring
decisions, and how contracts will be terminated.
• Prepare detailed job descriptions. Your temporary worker should know what’s expected upfront. For higher level employees, be sure to discuss and
document the scope of his or her responsibilities,
payment terms, and confidentiality agreements.
•
Know their rights. Temporary workers fall under
many of the same laws as full-time employees,
including statutes against discrimination and
harassment. So take care to provide the same kind
of work environment for all of your employees —
whether permanent or temporary.
For assistance with this or any of your business concerns,
contact our office. Skilled employees are a key to a successful
business. Please call us at (208) 743-7790 if you have any
questions.

No Dirty Dishes Day is a
reprieve from the daily pile
of dishes to wash and dry. We
perform the task of washing
and drying dishes daily and it
can be a chore.
May
18
You deserve a break from this
routine, and today is that day. The objective of this
day is to have no dirty dishes. It is not intended to
pile them up until tomorrow. So today, take the
family out for all three meals, and ice cream!

KRLC-AM Receives NAB Crystal Radio Award
KRLC-AM Lewiston, ID was awarded the National Association of Broadcasters’ Crystal Radio Award on Tuesday, April 12. Since 1987, the NAB Crystal Radio
Awards have recognized radio stations for their outstanding year-round commitment to community service.
“At KRLC ‘Hometown Radio,’ we don’t just stand on a soapbox; we care enough to step into the fray. We care about the four little kids who gathered with us
to honor our flag, and then told us they lived in a tent and didn’t have winter coats. We care about the 9-year-old autistic boy who wandered from his home
one evening last summer. We care about the wives, children and loved ones of our servicemen who are thousands of miles away and desperately want to
hear their hero’s voice. We even care about the homeless dogs and cats that have been abandoned. And because KRLC cares, those four children - and 319
more - have winter coats this year, that 9-year-old boy was found within 10 minutes of our breaking news story, countless loved ones hear the voices of their
servicemen and women broadcast to them on birthdays, holidays and anniversaries and hundreds of helpless animals have found a home. Surprisingly,
these stories aren’t exceptions. For KRLC, patriotism, caring and giving are the rule. That’s because at Hometown Radio, we’re live and local in every way;
heart, soul and broadcasting. After all, this is our hometown, too.”
For more information on KRLC-AM’s accomplishments, contact Robert Prasil at [email protected].
