Former football executive
now leading Cancer
Patient Care team
By Craig Howard
Splash Editor
Leaves were changing pigments and
football was in the air when Adam Nebeker
transitioned careers last autumn.
In a move that made an onside kick
seem pedestrian, the Liberty Lake resident
left his post as team president of the Spokane
Shock to take over as executive director
of Cancer Patient Care, a nonprofit
agency that has been rallying on behalf of
local cancer patients for over 50 years.
For Nebeker, the switch from the football
sidelines to the frontlines of the fight
against cancer was a matter of shifting professional
priorities.
“When you win a football game, it’s
a great feeling of accomplishment, but
there’s no real lasting meaning,” Nebeker
said. “I wanted to go into work every day
and feel like I was making a difference.”
Nebeker was announced as the new
CPC director in October, replacing Cliff
Evans. His first official day was Nov. 7.
Since then, Nebeker has employed
many of the winning tactics that turned
the Shock into one of the most successful

Gone are the days when CPC clients called

for the weeks ahead. Instead, a new system
of parceling out funds throughout
the month has benefited patients and improved
employee efficiency.

CVHS Sports Roundup
Soccer team defeats
Ferris in playoffs
Central Valley may have been playing
on the Ferris Saxons’ home turf, but it was
the Bears who emerged with the 2-0 victory
in the District 8 4A soccer playoffs last
week. A goal and an assist by Lucas Schneidmiller
keyed CV’s playoff win at Joe Albi
Stadium on May 2, advancing the Bears to
a matchup on Tuesday (after presstime)
with Lewis and Clark, surprise 4-3 winners
against Mead. The game is for the district
title and seeding at 4A regionals.
The victory improved Central Valley’s
record to 9-3. The Bears placed second in
the Greater Spokane League standings this
season, behind Mead at 8-1.
Fastpitch softball
moves into second
The CV fastpitch softball squad continued
its winning ways last week, defeating
Ferris, Mt. Spokane and Shadle Park to
move into second place behind University.
In the 3-1 Ferris win, sophomore pitcher
Carli Riordan held the Saxons to five hits
over seven innings while the CV defense
turned in an errorless effort.
On May 4, against Mt. Spokane, the Bears
plated two runs in the first inning and Riordan
tossed a shutout in the 2-0 decision.
Junior Kaitlyn Richardson led the offense
with two hits.
The Bears defeated Shadle Park 4-2 on
Monday for their seventh straight win. Senior
McKenzie Shea paced the offense with
three hits. CV begins the District 8 4A
playoffs this Thursday (today) at Whitworth
University.
Central Valley nine swept from
postseason by Ferris
The Central Valley offense was stymied
by Ferris pitching in a two-game playoff
series last week. The season-ending sweep
began with a no-hit, 3-0 shutout on May 1,
a game that saw the Saxons manage eight
base hits against senior starter Josh Hayes.
On May 3, Ferris raced to a 5-0 lead after
two innings and went on for an 13-2
win. Ryan Leone, Andres Morales and Matt
Whiting each had hits for CV, which concluded
the 2012 campaign with a 6-14 record.

New city administrator
returns to LL roots
After a decade away, former resident prepares for unique challenge
By Kelly Moore
Splash Staff Writer
Liberty Lake’s new city administrator
hire, Katy Allen, has yet
to spend a day of her 35-year
public works career in the city
limits, but she’s had a home in
the community since 1983. Her
new title will mean leaving her
current position as public works
director in Bremerton and returning
back to the home where
she raised her family.
“The time and the place came
together really well,” Allen said.
“There will be a lot of challenges,
but that goes with the territory.”
The city administrator, under
the direction, supervision and
authority of the mayor, is the executive
officer and liaison officer
for the city. This position directs
the administration of city government
functions and services and
provides leadership in the long
and short-term goals of the city.
Before she makes her way east,
Allen will have to tie up loose
ends in Bremerton, where she’s
worked since December.
“She is so artful at getting the
job done,” said Robert Parker, a
Bremerton business owner. “She
has a way of bridging the gap
between those who do and don’t
agree so that everyone wins.”
During her time in Bremerton,
Allen opened up the work area at
the Oyster Bay facility, dispersed
work responsibilities after three
retirements, upgraded utility billing
and initiated a graffiti cleanup
program.
“You can actually look around
our city and see things happening,”
Parker said. “That’s something
we haven’t seen here in the
last decade. Our hearts kind of
sank when it was announced that
she’d be leaving.”
Allen admitted the move would
be bittersweet, but the opportunity
to return to the community
she’s long called home was a nobrainer.
“I didn’t expect this,” Allen
said. “When I worked in Spokane
during the early part of my
career, I really enjoyed it there. I
worked with great people, but an
opportunity presented itself to go
to California, and I was ready for
a change. Going to Bremerton
was also a turning point. When
I came to Bremerton, I never
imagined there would be a position
in Liberty Lake. It’s not
something I mapped out. I didn’t
see it in the cards.”
Still, she said it just feels right
to come back to Liberty Lake, and
working here will be a new adventure.
Back to her roots
Allen first moved to Liberty
Lake in 1983 with her husband,
Randy, because of the convenient
location — halfway between her
job in Spokane and his job in Post
Falls. They’ve had a home here
ever since.
“As our kids grew up and we enjoyed
being here, we just knew we
never wanted to leave,” Allen said.
“Even though I had the fortune of
going to California and working
there for nine years, and now in
Bremerton, we always knew we
wanted to come back. We never
even entertained the thought of
giving up our home here.”
In addition to the lake and golf
courses, she said it was the community’s
amenities that kept her
family here.
“It’s the trails, the bike paths,
the walkability, the convenience
of having retail, places to eat and
shop here, the library, the park
system — all of those things,”
Allen said. “It’s just a clean, safe
community that we’ve enjoyed.”
When Allen accepted a job
in San Jose in 2002, the city had
barely incorporated. Since she’s
been gone, though, she said it’s
only gotten better.
“The planning of this city
pulled together a tremendous
amount of forethought into that
public space piece,” Allen said. “I
think it just adds to the attraction
of Liberty Lake. The older I’ve
gotten, the more I’ve learned to
appreciate pedestrian amenities
in a community — the walkability.
I really like to get outside and
walk around.”
Keeping up with
community
Allen acknowledged the many
civic traditions that make Liberty
Lake so appealing — the Fourth
of July Parade, the Easter Egg
Hunt, the yard sales, movies and
concerts in the park.
“I enjoy that part of communities,
especially ours here in
Liberty Lake,” Allen said. “Traditions
are what make communities
rich.”
When asked to pick a favorite,
she answered without pausing:
the Farmers Market.
“Everything is unique,” Allen
said. “When you go shopping, no
matter where you are in the United
States and you go in the mall,
it’s pretty much all the same. But
each community has their own
Farmers Market, and ours here is
really a reflection of Liberty Lake
because it’s unique — lavender
grown just over the freeway, pets
needing to be adopted, the food
selection.”
She said her must-buy item
at the local market is always the
lavender. It also happens to be a
favorite of her granddaughter. After
buying it together at the market
last year, she said it inspired
a family project to grow it themselves.
They later harvested it and
put it in containers to give out for
Christmas.
For fun, Allen said family time
tops her list. Her two sons, Paul
and Jeff, are now grown and
married with kids — one lives
in Newman Lake and the other
in North Idaho. She also likes to
make use of the many bike paths
in the area.
“I’ve really found that it
grounds me, and it helps me focus,”
Allen said. “I like to get on
my bike and just ride it east or
west. The cardio part is kind of
a side benefit for me — I like the
mental part of it.”
For similar reasons, she said
she also likes gardening.
Interestingly, her community
ties have kept her familiar with
many of her soon-to-be colleagues.
Because they have homes in
the same neighborhood, she’s
been an acquaintance of Mayor

Steve Peterson and his wife, Charmaine,
for a number of years. In the late 1990s, her
graduate school classes overlapped with
those taken by Community Development
Director Doug Smith. Last fall, she got to
know a few Council members after she was
asked to help in the recruiting process of an
interim city administrator.
Hitting the ground running
With about three weeks until her first day
of work at City Hall, Allen said she’s keeping
busy behind the scenes closing out projects
in Bremerton while making connections in
Liberty Lake.
Starting June 4, she said there would be
three things she needed to focus on in her
first 30 days of work: getting to know city
services, budgets and leaders.
“I just need to familiarize myself with our
work product,” Allen said. “Then I need to
understand the budget. I really have to understand
monies coming in and monies
going out, how they are spent and how are
Pooling from
experience
With almost 35 years of experience in the
public sector, Liberty Lake’s new city administrator
Katy Allen said she’s picked up
a handful of lessons learned along the way
and hopes to incorporate those values into
her new position.
She said her time as director of public
works in Bremerton and as city engineer in
San Jose, Calif., was when she solidified her
leadership style. She said it was here that she
learned the importance of key qualities in
public operation.
Transparency
Topping that list was a stated objective for
municipal government to be transparent.
“We don’t operate in a vacuum, nor do
we want our elected officials or community
members to learn about things after the fact
and then feel like they need to be educated,”
Katy Allen
Age: 57

we communicating those expenses to our
Council and the community.”
Finally, she said she would need to focus
on getting connected with the City Council
and the mayor.
“It’s about building a productive work relationship
there,” Allen said. “I also need to get
reconnected with our community and that
happens on a number of different fronts.”
On the personal side, she said she wouldbe
trying to get her house in order — both
figuratively and literally.
“I’ll have to get into the new routine of
Allen explained. “I’m much more into engagement
than education. It’s being transparent
and accountable, making sure we’re
communicating effectively.”
To her, communication and transparency
go hand-in-hand, and she’s said she’s
seen electronic communication open doors
to interacting with elected officials or city
employees and getting questions answered
more efficiently.
working and living here,” Allen said. “Because
I always worked places where my
family wasn’t, I let work spill way over into
life. There was a period in my life where my
work-life balance was way off. What I want
to do is organize my life so that I have a
healthy balance there.”
She noted the adjustment would be one of
many made with the move.
“It’s a new experience in a number of
ways,” Allen said. “I’ve never been a city
administrator before, so that’s exciting and
challenging. I’ve never worked in a city like
Liberty Lake before, so that’ll be a new experience.
I know that all comes with the territory.
I’m confident that the skills I’ve picked
up throughout my career are going to help
me work with other people."
Ultimately, she said, she hopes to gather
resources on the city side and connect those
with the community to map out a path forward.
“It’s a very exciting place to be right now
at this point in my career,” Allen said. “I
don’t want to sound so ‘Polyanna,’ but the
successes in my career have always come out
of positive momentums. I get really jazzed
when I think about public service.”
Accountability
Communication, Allen said, also plays
into what she classified as another component
of quality public works she picked up
in California: accountability.
“As providers of public services, we hold
ourselves to the very highest standards of
being accountable to the services we deliver
and providing communication and how our
dollars are spent,” Allen said. “We’re also
accountable to the mayor and city council
— our goal is to make them successful, and
in doing so, better serve our community.
It’s working hand-in-hand with our council
and mayor to understand what their priorities
are and then to build that into a work
plan.”
Benchmarking
In addition, Allen said keeping up with
cutting-edge practices would be a top priority
for her in Liberty Lake.
“We want to look at who is doing it well,”
Allen said. “We like to benchmark within
the industry and know that the services
we provide in our community are as good
or better than services provided elsewhere.
That way, when people have a choice as
to where they’re going to work or where
they’re going to live, Liberty Lake is going to
be right up there as one of their top choices.”
Despite only a five-month stint at her current
job in Bremerton, she said the new experience
gave her valuable insight into community
spirit.
“I see a lot of positive energy there,” Allen
said. “Even though they’re strapped for
cash, there’s a lot of positive energy about
their service to the community, and I think
that’s something that is exciting.”

By Kelly Moore
Splash Staff Writer
After almost disbanding earlier this
year, the Liberty Lake Community Tennis
Association has returned for another
season with a renovated and dynamic
schedule.
The season kicked off this week with
evening clinics at Rocky Hill Park that
will continue to run through Aug. 30.
Evening sessions are held Mondays and
Thursdays from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Ladies
day clinics will be held Tuesdays from 1
to 2:30 p.m. and a clinic for kids 12 and
younger will be held Saturdays from 9 to
10:30 a.m.
The clinics are free and registration is
not required. Each player needs a racquet,
court shoes and water bottle. Tennis
balls will be provided.
“Right now our main focus is on clinics
throughout the season,” said LLCTA
President Larry West. “We might do
a special event or a block party later in
the year, but right now, I think we’ll stay
pretty busy with clinics four days a week.”
West stepped in as president this year,
just weeks before the season started.
“I love tennis,” West said. “I’m a tennis
junkie. I figured I could help out any way
community/sports
Tennis association returns
with bolstered schedule
I can, and I’m hoping we’ll generate some
enthusiasm for the sport.”
For each clinic, an instructor will be
on each court conducting footwork and
hitting drills. The clinics are designed to
teach and improve the tennis ability of all
levels of players, using fast-paced drills to
maximize the number of swings, improve
technique, and enhance muscle memory.
The city’s Parks and Recreation department
will reserve the courts during the
times of clinics. The city will also pitch in
with a backboard for the courts and some
equipment.
“I wanted to see how I could help out,”
Recreation Coordinator Michelle Griffin
said. “I love the sport and I think it’s a
great, easy way to get people outside and
active.”
The partnership started last year, Griffin
said. Then-president Frank Cruz-Aedo
facilitated a day of lessons for the city’s
CHILL day camp. Griffin said the lessons
were a hit last year, and she hopes to reprise
them in this summer’s schedule.
“I get calls from people who are new to
the area all the time asking how to meet
people,” Griffin said. “I think the social
aspect of LLCTA is great for that.”

Businesses take lead in
Relay fundraising efforts
By Kelly Moore
Splash Staff Writer
With Liberty Lake’s second
annual Relay For Life about two
months away, the local business
community is leading the participant
field. As of May 7, six of the
seven registered teams represent
businesses.
Through her experience with
the event, American Cancer Society
Community Relationship
Manager Jennifer Kronvall said
Relay For Life teams generally
represent groups of friends and
families. However, she said she
isn’t surprised to see the opposite
taking shape in Liberty Lake.
“Liberty Lake is a very business-minded
community,” Kronvall
said. “To me, it’s a win-win
situation. You’re out there volunteering
and doing something to
give back. It makes you feel good,
but you’re also getting your business
out there too.”
The Liberty Lake Merchants
Association, a local business referral
group, formed a team earlier
this year, and will jump start
fundraising this weekend with a
community picnic fundraiser.
“I think it’s a great promotional
tool for businesses,” Team
Captain Sandra Bartel said. “Anytime
you’re able to get involved
with the community and get your
name out there, people look at
that as something positive they’d
want to be a part of.”
The Community Picnic will
be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
on Saturday, May 12 at Pavillion
Park. The event will include a
Classic Car Show, Crazy Canine
Show and vendor booths. Food
and drinks will be available for

purchase from the Roamin’ Pizza
Chariot.
In addition to the Merchants
Association, H and B Creations,
a marketing firm, recently signed
on as a Relay for Life corporate
sponsor.
“I’ve got a passion for anything
that deals with helping cancer,” H
and B Owner Shaun Beck said.
“Cancer has been a big scare in
my life and I’ve known too many
people who’ve had to fight it. I’m
motivated to do what I can to end
it.”
Beck said both his grandmother
and father passed away after
complications with cancer and
much of his charity work is done
in their memory.
In addition to sponsoring Liberty
Lake’s event, Beck is also rallying
a team together and organizing
a golf fundraiser in Deer
Park for July 7. Registration for
the event costs $79 for a team of
four. Registration information
will be available soon.
Other businesses represented
by Relay For Life teams include
Safeco, Expect-A-Lot, Walgreens
and The Splash.
Kronvall said a recent campaign
for more teams involved
visiting numerous Liberty Lake
businesses and she feels encouraged
about the potential of additional
new teams. She said the
goal for this year’s event is to have
15 teams and 200 participants.

An informational meeting
for team captains will also be
held on May 10 at 7 p.m. at the

Courage drives us to
reach beyond ourselves
16 • May 10, 2012
The Splash
By Jesse Sheldon
Splash Guest Column
What image comes to mind when
asked to visualize someone who displays
courage? Personally, I picture a firefighter,
a member of our military fighting for
our freedom or someone donating an organ.
To me, each of these people displays
incredible courage. I also believe courage
can be as simple as admitting to your
mom that you broke her favorite vase
instead of passing off the blame to your
brother, knowing you will be grounded
for a week. My personal definition of
courage is probably best represented by
this quote by Ambrose Redmoon: "Courage
is not the absence of fear, but rather
the judgment that something else is more
important than fear."
It is this determination that something
else is more important than the fear of
failure that has driven me to address the
need for diaper support in my community.
Being an only child, a teenager and a
guy, I had never really thought about how
much of a necessity diapers were for babies.
When I learned what it costs a family
financially for diapers and the fact that
resources such as food stamps and WIC
don’t help pay for diapers or hygiene
items, I began to understand just how basic
was the need for diaper support.
When I tell people my story about feeling
called and compelled to take action to
help local families with this need, many
look at me and ask why. How did I know
what to do? Wasn’t I afraid of failing?
What I know now is that I made a decision
that affected not just the time I have
spent in high school, but a decision that
will impact the rest of my life.
When I first started to seriously consider
the idea of starting a nonprofit to

help diaper babies, I could only think
about what a great resource this could be
for the community. I never thought about
the possible challenges — both logistical
obstacles as well as personal challenges
— that might stand in my way. The logistical
obstacles included writing a business
plan, filing for 501(c)3 status, locating
physical space to operate, funding
and most importantly developing support
for my vision. All of those daunting
tasks may have overwhelmed my family
as I began this journey, but those were
simple things compared to the personal
challenges I have faced.
As a teenager, I am fully aware of how
teens can be ridiculed and labeled, sometimes
unintentionally. The first label I
was given was that of “Diaper Boy.” Even
some of the news media referred to me
that way in the beginning. I was also labeled
as unconventional, persistent and
unyielding in my objective to see a diaper
bank succeed. I was undaunted. The
more research I did, the more I felt the
conviction to proceed to build a diaper
bank in my community.
My next personal challenge was to accept
that my focus was very different than
other teens my age. I was thinking about
mission statements, sponsorships, website
design and program development,
not what movie to go to or where to hang
out on the weekend. But whenever I felt
my courage and determination waning, I
remembered that this was not about me,
but about taking action to meet a need in
my community. This doesn’t mean that I
don’t recognize that sacrifices have been
made or that my high school experience
is very different from that of most of my
peers.
Probably the most important thing
I have learned from my experience
of founding Inland Northwest Baby
(INWB) is that courage comes in many
different shapes and forms. As Maya Angelou
said, “One isn't necessarily born
with courage, but one is born with potential.
Without courage, we cannot practice
any other virtue with consistency. We
can't be kind, true, merciful, generous or
honest.”
We need to not be afraid to take a
stand, to defend a cause, to look outside
ourselves and be courageous.

City administrator appointment
process a win for Liberty Lake
Community participation was not a
hallmark of the changeup at Liberty Lake
City Hall back in 2005.
In a move about as popular as a rainout
at Pavillion Park before a summer
concert, Mayor Steve Peterson made the
decision to reorganize the administrative
ship by jettisoning inaugural City
Administrator Lewis Griffin, who had
signed on with Liberty Lake after serving
as city administrator in Colfax.
“Grif,” as he was known by family,
friends and co-workers, balked at a ceremonial
job representing Liberty Lake
as a legislative lobbyist and went west to
Connell where he was hired as the city
administrator. When Griffin passed away
from lung cancer in 2008, his funeral included
a gathering of friends from Liberty
Lake, a city he had helped form from
the ground up.
When he made the decision to go without
a city administrator, Peterson talked
about the need to turn more responsibility
over to department directors, save
administrative costs and streamline the
process at City Hall. Overall, the move
made sense. The way it was handled did
not.
Shift ahead to 2011 and a group backing
a different sort of change — this
one from the strong-mayor/city council
form of government in place since
incorporation to a city manager/council
structure. One of the benefits of the
transition, argued residents like Ron
Ragge and Mary Munger, would be that
dismissing a city manager would require
a majority vote of council, not a single
vote by a mayor.
While the initiative was defeated by a
resounding margin of over 70 percent
in last November’s general election, the
message had been sent. Effective municipal
government was a byproduct of
collaboration, public participation and
well-trained leaders who understand the
complexities of running a city.
Just over a month after he returned to
office, Peterson himself provided an ideal
job description as the search for a city administrator
began.
“We’re looking for someone who will
work well with the community, be a
sounding board for employees and management
and provide guidance to the
council,” he said.
To its credit, the city went about the
various interview and appointment steps
in an inclusive way that gave stakeholders
the voice they were missing in 2005.
Separate interview panels of citizens, staff
and council members grilled the three finalists
in April the day after a meet-andgreet
open house at City Hall.
While the final decision of who to hire
was left to Peterson, interim City Administrator
Mike Cecka, City Council, staff
and residents all had a say in the process.
The result was no less than a communitywide
interview to determine the best person
for the job.
When Katy Allen was finally announced
as the second city administrator
in Liberty Lake’s history on April 17,
it felt more like a team victory, one that
involved feedback, collective discussion
and an emphasis on municipal priorities.
And somewhere Lewis Griffin was cheering.

Summit of smarts
CV Knowledge Bowl
squad wins state title
By Craig Howard
Splash Editor
Whether it’s a thinking cap or a state
crown, the fit is the same for representatives
of the Central Valley High School Knowledge
Bowl team.
The Bears’ brainpower carried the squad
to a 4A state championship on March 17,
the first title of its kind in school history.
The varsity crew, consisting of half-a-dozen
students, soared to the victory over Westside
competitors Garfield and Central Kitsap
in the final, correctly answering 46 out
of 50 questions in the written round.
“Out of 99 schools at state, they were
the only team to get 46 out of 50,” said CV
Knowledge Bowl advisor Eric Akins. “I
think people now get that CV is one of the
top schools in the state.”
As for the hype surrounding the historic
win, a banner was draped on campus, but
overall attention was minimal compared
to accomplishments of the school’s sports
teams.
“Most of my friends knew about it,” said
Joe Aman, one of four seniors on the varsity
roster.
Zander White, another senior, said he is
accustomed to the scarcity of fans who turn
out to see a faceoff in the intelligence arena.
The state championship match was held in a
Marysville classroom that seated around 40.
“It’s not like we’re running out in a stadium
with thousands of people,” White said.
Unlike the antagonism seen on the court,
the field or the diamond, Knowledge Bowl
competitors tend to be a friendlier lot, according
to senior Mark Crossen.
“At state, there were a few nerdy, antisocial
teams,” he said. “But our team is pretty
social.”
Central Valley had verged on winning
state in previous years, finishing third in
2007 and second in 2010. In the runner-up
year, the Bears had a late lead against Skyview,
only to see the Sammamish school
nab three of the last five questions and capture
the victory on a challenged question
earlier in the round.
This time around, CV stormed to the
championship with a lineup that included
Hailey Reneau and Andrew Schutts of Liberty
Lake. Reneau, one of two juniors on
the team, said the rewards of Knowledge
Bowl are less about trivia proficiency than
the work and preparation that lead up to
competition. Like her teammates, Reneau
regularly tunes into Jeopardy and is a fan of
documentaries.
“It’s about the process, not the particular
pieces of information,” she said.
It also turns out that the team is astute
beyond the realm of competition. CV bowlers
— several of whom are members of the
school’s Green Club — were quick to notice
a surprising oversight at the state venue.
“We couldn’t believe they didn’t have any
recycling containers,” White said.
Featuring obscure questions about litera-

ture, science, math, history and other fields,
a typical Knowledge Bowl matchup involves
five verbal rounds in a format similar to a
game show. The first team to chime in on a
buzzer has an opportunity to proffer its best
answer. An incorrect response turns the
question over to the next team to ring in.
Schutts said the groundwork involved in
preparing for a tournament includes “reading,
taking AP classes and paying attention
to current events.” Knowledge Bowl teammates
also study on their own time, often
researching topics like geology that are not
part of the AP curriculum.
For CV, the state title was the culmination
of a season that saw the team win its
fourth Inland Empire Academic League
championship and a regional title on Feb.
25. Over the past six years, the squad has
gone 171-9 in league competition. Pullman
and Colville — two schools from the same
league as CV — won the 2A and 1A state
titles, respectively.
“This year is the most competitive it’s
been,” said Akins. “To win state is pretty
cool.”

agency in the time he’s been here,” said
CPC Development Director Melissa Halverson.
“He really has a heart for this work.
Not only does he give the staff great support,
he brings a new perspective and new
ideas to raise funds. You can tell this job
is important to him personally — it’s just
part of who he is.”
Since 1958, CPC has provided a network
of support for low-income cancer
patients, helping defray costs associated
with everything from nutritional supplements
to utility bills. While clients must
meet certain income guidelines to qualify
for monetary help, the agency also offers
counseling to all patients, regardless of
their financial status.
Nebeker described the social workers at
CPC as the “stewards of the entire situation.”
“That counseling support is so important,”
he said. “Just to sit and have a conversation
for an hour with someone who
cares about you and is keeping track of
your treatment, you can’t put a pricetag on
that.”
In his new role, Nebeker said he has
“learned more about the cancer treatment
process” and the value of reinforcement
along the path to recovery.
“Just simple questions like ‘How’s your
chemotherapy going?’ or ‘Are you getting
around OK?’ can make a significant difference,”
he said. “A big part of what we do is
just making sure that support network is
in place.”
There are currently around 400 CPC clients
in an area that encompasses 10 counties
in Eastern Washington and another
nine in North Idaho. Along with financial
help for essentials like groceries and rent,
the organization carries specialty items
like wheelchairs and wigs for those who
have lost their hair from treatment. All
help is provided free of cost.
Nebeker, who has brought on another
employee to help in the development
department, said generating funds and
awareness continues to be a major function
of his job.
“The more money we raise, the more clients
we can help,” he said. “We still need
to get better about educating people about
who we are.”
CPC will sponsor the 19th rendition of
the Loreen Miller Bike Ride on June 16,
one of the year’s central fundraisers. A new
event, patterned after the punt, pass and
kick competition, will be held at the Valley
Christian School track and field complex
on July 14. Nebeker said local residents
can do their part by organizing bake sales,
golf tournaments and other occasions that
generate donations.
“A huge portion of our revenue comes
from individuals who have started their
own fundraisers and donate the proceeds,”
he said. “Even if it just raised $100, it’s
helped and, in the meantime, you’ve educated
others about the cause.”
A 1996 graduate of University High
School, Nebeker went on to earn his
undergraduate diploma from Brigham
Young University. After a law degree from
William and Mary College in Virginia,
Nebeker began his career as an attorney,
but left soon after when longtime friend
and Shock majority owner Brady Nelson
came up with the idea of starting a football
team in Spokane.
Nebeker still keeps track of his old
squad, attending home games at the Spokane
Arena. As for the career change, the
ex-sports executive says building up the
CPC brand has some parallels to marketing
a championship roster.
“This is a new challenge,” Nebeker said.
“I understand that most of these clients I
won’t ever meet, but I know we’re making
a difference for them. I hear their stories.
I’m motivated to get to work every day and
know that I’m having an impact.”
While Nebeker acknowledges that not
each person can alter their respective career
path for an altruistic purpose, he says
everyone can contribute to the common
good in their own way.
“You can always give back, whether it’s
a financial donation or volunteering your
time,” he said. “There are all kinds of ways
to help your community.”

POLICE
Continued from page 6
problem at the 23000 block of East
Maxwell Drive. A neighbor reported hearing
a female subject calling out for help. Officers
contacted the residence and determined a
subject inside had fallen and hit her head on
the dresser. Medics were called to the scene,
and they transported the subject to the
hospital.
• Suspicious circumstances — At 8:30 a.m.
May 5, LLPD received a report of a suspicious
circumstances incident in the area of Knox
Avenue and Cavalier Court. The complainant
reported seeing two male subjects driving
slowly through the neighborhood. She said
she saw one of the subjects get out of the car,
take a package off of someone’s front porch
and speed away in the vehicle. The officer
arrived in the area and didn’t locate the
subjects. The officer spoke to several people
walking in the neighborhood who said they
classifieds/news
didn’t see anything. The officer contacted the
complainant, who told him he wasn’t sure if
they actually took anything from the porch,
and was not sure of the address where the
package may have been taken from. He told
the officer he assumed someone took a
package because the passenger got out
of the car and then returned to the car
quickly.
• Commercial alarm — At 9:30 p.m. May
5, LLPD was dispatched to the 2300 block of
North Molter Road for a commercial alarm.
Upon checking the business, officers determined
the front doors were not secured.
The officer checked inside of the business
and didn’t locate anything out of place. The
alarm company attempted to contact several
people listed as responsible for the building
but could not contact anyone. The officer was
able to temporarily secure the front doors
and requested the dayshift officers follow up
with the business in the morning.
