Proceeds from theT-shirt sales help fund the community parade.For more information, go to 4thofjulyatlibertylake.com.Parade winds through AlpineShores neighborhoodThe 22nd annual Fourth of July paradewill be held at noon this year in the AlpineShores neighborhood. Committee memberssaid the time was changed to an hourearlier to better accommodate families withyoung children.The purpose of the parade is to focus onpatriotism and create special memories forthe kids, said Committee Chairman DaveGraham. Kids and their families are encouragedto decorate their bikes, scootersor wagons in red, white and blue and marchfor spectators along the parade route.“The more flags, the better,” Graham said.“We love it when kids dress up as Uncle Samand that kind of thing.”Roadblocks will be set up around 10a.m. when the parade route will close (seemap on page 9). Parking is available on thestreets around the neighborhood as well asat Liberty Lake Community Church, 704 S.Garry Drive.Parade lineup begins at 11 a.m. at the cornerof Shoreline and Liberty Drive. No pets,politicians or vehicles (other than golf cartstowing a parade item) will be allowed in theparade, Graham said.For the first time, the committee is givingawards judged in four different categories:Best Young Child, Best School Age Child,Best Group and the Tina Wallingford MemorialAward for a family or group workingtogether on a special theme.This year’s parade is dedicated to Wallingford,a recently deceased Alpine Shoresresident who helped lead the celebration formany years. Wallingford was instrumentalin the committee, planning and createdmany of the pins that are given to kids whoparticipated in the parade, Graham said.Splash file photoThe free annual Independence Day concert will bring bluegrass and big band musicthis Sunday to Pavillion Park.This year’s pin, created in Wallingford’shonor, was designed by April Munyon. Shesaid that she joined the committee this yearto honor Wallingford.“Tina used to call us all together, startthe whole process going and then be downthere at the end cleaning up,” Munyon said.“She had the biggest smile and the biggestheart. She will be missed.”The committee is hoping to entice familiesto stay longer and take part in the gamesthis year by offering food vendors. Committeemember Cheryl Leavell said peopleshould bring money because the committeehas recruited restaurants to provide a varietyof food options for purchase before andafter the parade.Several vendors, such as Barlow’s FamilyRestaurant, Twisp Café and Frank’s Franks,have committed to selling food in the AlpineShores park area, Leavell said.“At the end of the parade, everybody istired and hungry so people usually go homeand have lunch,” she said. “We’re hoping tomake this a full-day event so maybe peoplewill stay a little longer.”Graham said the committee needs donationsto help cover costs associated withthe parade, usually totaling around $1,500.Additional information about the festivitiesand how to give can be found on their website,4thofjulyatlibertylake.com.Concert in the park on SundayBig band music along with some modernswing will over take Pavillion ParkSunday evening when Tuxedo Junctiontakes the stage.

This will free up officers to respondto emergencies and calls for service.“We see an influx of at least a few thousandpeople during the concert and fireworkshows within the city as well as southof the city. All of that traffic has to funnelthrough Liberty Lake to get to and from theevents,” he said. “The traffic control plan hasworked well the past two years and we arenot expecting anything different this year.”From 6:30 p.m. until after the fireworksshow, Molter Road between Country Vistaand Boone Avenue will be closed, as well asCountry Vista between Wright Boulevardand Molter.

The Splash July 1, 2010 • 13Restrictions in place for parking, fireworksLaw enforcement out infull force over the FourthBy Tammy KimberleySplash Staff WriterDuring the Liberty Lake fireworks displayin 2005, medical personnel werecalled to respond to a man having a heartattack at a home along East Third Avenue.Minutes later, an explosion on the fireworksbarge wounded two pyrotechs.Congestion of cars parked along thenarrow lake roads caused confusion anddelays in getting needed help to the victims.Safety tips for the FourthHere are some safety reminders fromthe Liberty Lake Police Department:• Be sure to observe traffic, boatingand pedestrian laws• Do not drink and drive. Thisincludes all modes of transportation• Alcohol is not allowed in publicareas, including Pavillion Park• No open containers of alcohol areallowed in any mode of transportationunless the container is inaccessibleby passengers or drivers• Possessing or discharging of fireworksis not allowed• Enjoy the day and be patientThose two emergencies not only shortenedthat year’s show, but they also causedarea agencies to champion safety precautionsthat are in place for this year’s holidayhappenings.Local law enforcement agencies saidthey will have extra help this weekend toenforce parking restrictions as well as encouragethe safety of all parties involvedwith fireworks.Patrols for illegal parking,fireworksThe incidents that occurred five yearsago on July 4 led the Spokane Valley FireDepartment to request last year parkingrestrictions along the lake in unincorporatedLiberty Lake.The narrow streets cause difficulty inmaneuvering fire trucks, said Fire MarshalKevin Miller.“Those roads are narrow not just on July4 but on every day of the year,” he said. “Itcuts off a truck from being able to get outthere and people can’t get out.”This last spring, the Spokane CountyCommissioners unanimously agreed torestrict parking along 20 roads near thelake.With the new restrictions and no-parkingzone signs installed, Miller said the firedepartment will place only a few barricadesthis Fourth, compared to past years.“If there’s an accident, we want to be ableto get in there,” he said. “The last thinganybody wants to do is to keep someonefrom getting help.”Cover story/newsThe Liberty Lake Police Department iscontracting with Northstar, a local trafficcontrol company, to help with the influxof people in the city for the concert andfireworks show.Sergeant Clint Gibson said the certifiedflaggers will be on hand to assist motoristsso that police officers will available to patroland help with emergency calls.Gibson said that the city has had onlya handful of documented violations of theSpokane County law that prohibits peoplefrom selling, discharging or using any typeof fireworks.Although Gibson said he feels that mostresidents respect the ban on consumerfireworks, people can be cited for possessingor discharging fireworks.Safety a top priority forRocketmanRocketman of Spokane Valley is backfor their third fireworks show in LibertyLake.Owner Steve Underwood said theirpyrotechs comply with state laws that requirewearing proper fire equipment andlife vests, possessing fire extinguishersand having sheriff ’s deputies present at alltimes.In addition, the company operates safelyby limiting the amount of people on thebarge and conducting training for employeeseach year. Underwood said their professionalismand stringent standards haveled to a perfect safety record for Rocketmanso far, but he says that the dangerlevel increases when shooting fireworksfrom a barge.The fire department inspects their displayprior to the show for safety adherenceand sheriff ’s deputies will patrol a 500-footperimeter from the barge to ensure safety.“If you are violating the radius, you canbe cited,” Underwood said. “Do yourself afavor and stay further back.”‘Pyrotech Pete’ still recoveringIn the 2005 accidental explosion, twopyrotechnicians were injured 10 minutesinto the fireworks show when a six-inchmortar misfired on a barge in the middleof the lake. The blast blew a hole in thedock, severely wounding one pyrotech andspraying another with burning shrapnel.Investigators did not pinpoint a specificcause nor assign blame to EntertainmentFireworks Inc. or its pyrotechs, accordingto the deputy state fire marshal report.Pete Black, the most seriously injuredpyrotech, sustained injuries to his rightleg. Since the incident, the North Spokaneresident has had six surgeries — two withinthe past few months — and continues inphysical therapy. He walks with assistancefrom a cane.Although he has not been able to worksince the accident and is retired as a pyrotech,he said he hopes the fireworks showat Liberty Lake continues on.“The Liberty Lake show has great peopleand great support from the community,” hesaid. “I loved everybody out there — it wasone of my favorite shows to do all year.”LANCASTERContinued from page 10Lancaster family. In December, commissionersapproved 2-1 a change from ruraltraditional zoning to low-density residentialfor the property, going against therecommendation of the county’s planningcommission and against vocal oppositionby neighbors and others, who said theywere concerned about the precedent set bythe rezone and the environmental impactof such a development on the lake.Richard has said the project applicationmeets the “test of the law.”In May, the Spokane County Commissionersapproved 2-1 a developer agreementsubmitted by Lancaster Enterprises LLC, allowing the Lancaster family to nowsubmit plans for the land’s subdivisionwithin the parameters of the agreement.Because the agreement has been approved,that allows the project to go forwarddespite the hearing board ruling,,which CAUSE members have decried asan unfair loophole in the law.Shirley, with CAUSE, said the group,does not plan to seek further legal action,however.“There’s nothing more we can do,” shesaid. “It’s still a victory, but it’s not going tostop the Lancasters. That wasn’t the pointto begin with. We certainly had nothingagainst the Lancasters … but the way itwas done was something we don’t want tosee happen in the county.”BUY ONE AD, GET A SECOND AD60% OFFQuarter page size ad or larger.

Iattempted to get upand head toward ourteam’s court when Iheard my knees, ankle and back play theRice Krispies song when I stood up.Snap, crackle and pop. Add a littlemilk, and I could have been a meal for acarnivore.As the oldest member of my FamilyLeague team, consisting of my brother-inlawJosh Johnson, his brother Mike Johnsonand his brother-in-law John Kirsch, Irealized my job was simply to sub in forguys as they got tired, let the other teams’big guy pound on me in the paint and tryto contribute a point or two toour team’s total — and also tryto have some fun.Splash photo by Tammy KimberleyI would say, despite the losses,most of those goals wererealized. Our team had an unusuallyconsistent run of toughlosses. We dropped our firstgame 18-16 as the time limit expiredon us before we could tieit up and force overtime (gamesgo to 20 points or 25 minutes).This dropped us to the loser’sbracket, where we would haveto win six or sevengames to battle backfor a championship.We lost our nextgame 18-16 as wemissed a late twopointerthat wouldhave forced overtime.After anothertough loss, we hadabout 30 minutesbefore squaring offwith another squadin the first roundof the consolationbracket.We lost 18-16. Despite the same score,we had a slightly different ending. Wewere tied at 16 heading into overtime.We missed a two-pointer, they hit a twopointerand we started making plans forour now newly freed up Sunday morning.18-16, 18-16, 18-16. Seriously, what arethe odds? As John said, the team now hasa perfect name for next year’s run at thewinner’s shirt.To be honest, my body wasn’t too disappointedby the early departure, but Ido wish for my teammates’ sake that wecould have made a better run, or at minimum,won a game. But as I reflect on myfirst Hoopfest experience, there were definitelysome highlights — and one veryunfortunate lowlight.The Hoopfest crew does an amazingjob of organizing, running, maintainingand managing an astounding number ofteams, courts and streets. I was impressedwith our court monitor Courtney whoran a tight ship and didn’t put up withcomplaining from players or fans. Andyou have to respect the volunteers whotake upon themselves the unsavory job oftrash detail.Also, it is great to spend a day shootingair balls with family and friends — themajority, if not all, of those shots comingoff my fingertips — and just hangingout around the court with wives, kids andcomplete strangers.On the flipside, there was one unfortunatething that made the Hoopfest experiencedisappointing. As a basketballcoach, one of the mantras I preach to myplayers is the concept of “win right, loseright.” Whether we pick up a big win orsuffer an embarrassing loss, we treat ouropponents, officials and one another withrespect.Splash photo by Tammy KimberleyThis concept seemed all too often tobe AWOL this weekend. Between playerscomplaining about calls, parents yelling attheir own kids or other kids, threats beingthrown about or posing and mockingafter a win, it was sad to witness.I know there were great moments ofsportsmanship on many courts andteams that showed the characteristicsof winning right and losing right, but itseemed to lean a little to heavily to winwrong and lose wrong.As I walked away from my first andprobably last Hoopfest experience as aplayer, I couldn’t help but think it wastime to leave the street ball to the youngguys and gals and spend time cheering onthe next generation of players.With that, I am nearly 100 percent sureI am retired from Hoopfest.As I type that, I can’t help but think ofMichael Jordan, who is considered thegreatest basketball player of all time, as heretired from an amazing career with theChicago Bulls with the famous quote thathe was “99.9 percent” sure he would neverplay again.Two years later he played again.Splash Staff Writer Chad Kimberley isembarking on multiple “firsts” this summerfor an occasional Splash column series.

16 • July 1, 2010The SplashopinionThe parade: a little history, a big traditionFourth of July event part ofthe fabric of Alpine ShoresBy Dave GrahamLiberty Lake VoicesThe vision for the Alpine Shores developmentwas spawned in the early 1960s:a massive earth-moving project that createda waterway and island around whichhomes and a marina were to be built. But,that’s another story.Fourth of July celebrations are part ofthe historic fabric of Alpine Shores. Asearly as 1981, the Alpine Homes Associationplanned for community events. Earlyactivities included picnics, a play day, barbecuesand even a big pig roast, whereneighbors came together to have a goodtime and celebrate Independence Day.“The neighborhood has always beenunique,” said Jackie Wills, co-author of thebook “A History of Alpine Shores on Liber-ty Lake.” “We love to party, but more thanthat, we work well together on projects.”A quick read of the Alpine Shores historybook reflects this. Over the years, thehomeowners group financed and installedthe street lighting. Docks were built and amarina took shape. Neighbors pitched inon each of the five large pieces of commonproperty. Taking each one at a time, theybeautified them, installing lawns, landscapingand sprinkler systems. Today, theymaintain them all.“There was no developer here after1976,” Wills said. “We did it all.”It was in this active community that ourFourth of July parade and celebration wasborn in 1989. It was Jeanie Wolff, Zanna Nelson,Marilyn Robinson and Bonnie Smithwho had the vision and got things started.“The four of us used to bike together,”confided Nelson as she reflected on hermemories. “That first year we reached outto schools and groups to come and be partof our neighborhood parade.”Little did they know that they had a tigerby the tail. As the parade grew, the girlscreated the famous T-shirts. Each year hada new and innovative design. Those shirtshave become collector’s items.Over the years, the whole parade/celebrationhappening has involved hundredsof volunteers from all over the lake. Otherkey organizers have been Tina Wallingford,Kelli Schneidmiller and Ann Tichy,just to name a few.

It’s a shady break fordog walkers, families with strollers, bikers,and joggers in the summer, and a nicewindblock in the winter.I realize these trees create a rakingnightmare for the homeowners, and driversneed to learn to slow down on this sectionwhen the roads are icy in the winter.Judging by the bags of leaves piled up forthe free leaf pick-up, that part of Spragueis probably second only to Third Avenue(on the lake). Is that a good reason forcutting down the trees? Certainly if anyof these individual trees are threateninganyone’s home, the problem needs to beaddressed on a tree-by-tree basis. Otherwise,we need to be careful that we don’tend out removing these trees for all thewrong reasons.Kerry MastersLiberty LakeReckless drivers makeintersection dangerousI am writing this letter to inform the mayor,Liberty Lake City Council and our excellentpolice department about the threat topublic safety that exists for those of us wholive near the intersection of North McKinzieDrive and Valleyway. The problem is thattoo many drivers are exceeding the 25-mphspeed limit, usually at speeds in the rangeof 40 mph and above. Vehicles preparing tomake a right turn onto Valleyway veer leftinto the oncoming lane of traffic to accomplishthis task without having to brake at theintersection. Moreover, the volume of driverswho are speaking on a cellular phone,texting or even eating cereal while attemptingthis illicit maneuver is beyond belief.Further exacerbating the threat is the factthat many young children, families and retiredmembers of our community frequentlywalk, bike, jog, skateboard, roller bladeand push baby strollers near this intersectionbecause of the pedestrian walkway thatconnects the dead end of Valley Way withSettler Drive and leads to the bike/pedestrianpathway that is adjacent to TrailheadGolf Course.I would like to suggest a few solutions tothis real and present danger. First, there isonly one speed limit sign posted on NorthMcKinzie Drive, which is permanently obscuredby tree branches. I would offer myown property as a place for another 25-mphsign to better inform drivers. Second, a stopsign should be placed at the north end ofMcKinzie Drive where it intersects withValley Way. Third, I implore our excellentpolice department to dispatch an officer tothis intersection. I guarantee the city couldearn over $10,000 dollars in fines during thefirst month for speeding, talking on the cellphone/texting, driving while not wearing aseatbelt or a combination thereof (policingFridays and Saturdays would prove optimal).With the summer weather approachingand the accompanying increase in humanand vehicular traffic, I would kindly askSee LETTERS, page 17About the Opinion Pagethe Splash opinion page is intended to be acommunity forum for discussing local issues.please interact with us by sending a letter tothe editor or liberty lake Voices guest columnfor consideration.letters to the editor of no more than 350words or guest columns of about 700 wordsshould be e-mailed toeditor@libertylakesplash.com or mailed to p.O.box 363, liberty lake, Wa 99019. a full nameand telephone number must be included forpurposes of verification.

The Splash July 1, 2010 • 17HATCHContinued from page break through it at Rand’s. So wehave a Liberty Lake Polar BearPlunge if anybody’s interested.We’ll probably do it again, maybewhen I turn 85.Q: You are 83 right now, andyou stay so healthy and active.Do you also watch what youeat?A: I try desperately to follow agood diet, but I fall off the wagona bit.Q: So what did you thinkwhen you were asked by RossSchneidmiller to be the grandmarshal?A: Well, Ross, why? I think theonly reason is my age. I’ve knownso many of the people who havebeen (grand marshals).Q: Ross Schneidmiller putyou in a class with 2000 grandmarshal (and former Washingtonsecretary of state) LudKramer when it came to communityservice.A: I would not jump in thesame sentence even with LudKramer. I did minor things, butcertainly not anything comparedto what he was capable of. I thinkI was just always willing to dowhatever needed to be done. Wekind of always felt like we neededto give back. That’s part of beinga good Christian is doing forothers.Q: Your husband (Jack Hatchdied in 1997; the couple wasmarried 53 years) shared thisphilosophy and the two of youhave quite a resume of communityservice. As a couple, didLETTERSContinued from page 16those of you whom I see on a dailybasis driving recklessly at this busyintersection to please slow downand drive the 25-mph speed limit.Ed SlackLiberty LakeDon’t forget nutritionmyth No. 1The article, “Five commonmyths about what you eat” (June24 Splash) was interesting, but Iam amazed that it did not includethe biggest food myth of all — thatmeat, dairy products and eggs aregood for us. This myth began withyou purposely set out to teachthis or was it more of a lead-byexampletype of thing?A: I think by example. Jack waspresident of the Union GospelMission for years and also becamepresident of the board outat Whitworth, and he gave a lotof his time to activities and organizationshe felt were important.I don’t think we ever preached itmore than we just did it.Q: What brought you to LibertyLake, and why have you decidedto stay here?A: We were able to get thehouse on MacKenzie Bay. Wehad come out here to boat andfor swimming lessons for 15years, and Jack asked TommyGreiner to let him know if heever decided to sell his house.When he called, he said, “we’lltake it.” And that house, with itsabsolutely gorgeous sunsets, wasjust an ideal place to bring thefamily.Q: Any specific memoriesstick out to you from your timein Liberty Lake?A: Just the fact that we wereable to be on the water and enjoyit. We had a lot of Japanesesummer guests, and the thingthey loved the most was learningto waterski. Every summerfor 18 or 20 years we had theguests through the InternationalExchange Council. I found hostfamilies, and quite a few peopleat the lake were host familiesfor us, and that was one of thethings we did was have themcome out to the lake and learnto waterski.Q: Who has inspired you?Are there personal heroes inpropaganda from the livestock,dairy and egg production industries,and so many people stillbelieve this to be true. It’s crazyin this day and age when there isso much evidence proving otherwise.Meat, dairy and eggs are notgood sources of protein or calciumbecause they are loadedwith saturated fats and cholesterolwhich, face it, make us fat and lazyand clog our arteries. Broccolihas more protein per calorie thanbeef, and the high animal proteincontent of milk actually causescalcium to be leached from thebody. Oh yeah, “Milk ... it does abody good” — ha! Healthy proteinsources include whole grains, oatmeal,beans, peanut butter, brownprofiles/opinionHatchleads byexampleBy Josh JohnsonSplash Staff WriterTo hear her middle child,Rand, tell it, Lois Hatchcould have been a professionalat any number ofthings — an ice skater, aswimmer, a skier. His multitalentedmother is also a“great singer” gifted with “agreat sense of humor.”“But she is first and foremosta mother and now agrandmother, and her familyis first and foremost toher,” Rand Hatch said.It’s for her contributions toher family and the communityat large that Lois Hatchwas selected grand marshalfor the 2010 Fourth of JulyParade in Alpine Shores.your life?A: Probably mostly my mother.She taught us to work hard anddo the best we could and not giveup on things. She wasn’t an athlete,but she lived to be 103 andtook care of herself and mowedher own lawn until she was 94 or95. I would say she was my hero.And my children, my five children,are my inspiration.rice, quinoa, peas, lentils, soy milk,nuts, seeds and vegan burgers.According to Cornell University,“The vast majority of all cancers,cardiovascular diseases andother forms of degenerative illnesscan be prevented simply by adoptinga plant-based diet.”If you think you need to eatmeat because you are an athlete,think again. I doubt you can outrunCarl Lewis or Ricky Williams,outjump Robert Parish or EdwinMoses, win the Mr. Universe contesttwice like Bill Pearl, outboxKeith Homes, outspar Mac Danzigor outplay Prince Fielder, allworld-class vegetarian athletes.Christy DawnLiberty Lake“Lois has always been involved,”said Liberty Lake’sRoss Schneidmiller, whohelps select the grand marshalseach year. “She’s a greatvolunteer, has such a neatoutlook on life and has alwaysstayed active. She continuesto serve later in life,which I think is really neatbecause not everyone doesthat. She is just one of thoseyoung-at-heart people.”Rand Hatch’s earliestmemories of his mother alwaysinvolve volunteering,whether she was a teacherfor Scouts or served on thePTA as her five childrenwent through school. Shehas also volunteered hertime for causes rangingfrom Liberty Lake Churchto the United Way to SchweitzerChapel. The dedicationto community servicewas a lifestyle.“The volunteer thing, shenever preached it,” RandHatch said. “All the kids prettymuch just took on whatshe did. She led by example,and she had the unconditionallove of a mother.”What scenic place is the most beautiful inour area?
