So do we.What’s a rate case, anyway?Want to learn more about howrates are set? View a short newvideo at avistautilities.com.That’s why we work hard to keep all costs low –especially the two biggest components of rates: thecost of energy, which is ultimately set by the wholesalemarket, and the cost of delivering that energy.And, when a rate change is proposed, the state reviewprocess provides our customers with an additional,independent look at costs and rates.Some may think that we can raise our rates wheneverwe want – but in fact, the opposite is true. As aregulated utility, our rates can change only withstate approval.Here’s how it works. When our costs change, weapply to the state utility regulatory commission for a ratechange. They examine all information about our costs.Nothing is off limits.They also take testimony from interested organizationsand our customers. The commission, which is appointedby the governor, can take up to 11 months in Washingtonand seven months in Idaho to review a rate case.It’s a long, detailed and transparent process.This process ensures accountability. For example,as a regulated utility, we can’t raise rates simply becauseno other utility serves the area. Nor can a rate increasefavor investors. The regulatory process wouldn’t allow it.The process was created to make sure the interests ofcustomers and shareholders are both protected.In the end, the commission sets rates that it determinesto be reasonable and fair for our customers, whileallowing us a chance to earn enough to be financiallystable and continue to deliver energy safely andreliably to our customers.Learn more about rates and shareyour thoughts with us.

10 • mARCH 11, 2010The Splashcover storyGrounds for a priceCounty parksget maintenancecutbackBy Hope BrumbachSplash EditorBudget cuts are forcing Spokane Countypark officials to let the grass get a littlebrowner in county parks this summer, therestrooms to stay locked longer and garbageto sit more frequently.The county created a three-tier systemto address park maintenance, with LibertyLake County Park designated as level1 — the least affected — and the LibertyLake ORV Park as level 2. The strategy siphonsthe most money and maintenanceinto parks that are the most popular andsituated closer to the county’s maintenanceshop.“This is a position we haven’t been infor many, many, many years,” said DougChase, the county parks director. “Wetried to lay out a plan we can accomplishand work with, and we’re looking for patienceand understanding.”The reductions in park maintenanceand services total about $175,000, aboutthe loss of two full-time maintenanceemployees. The parks department cut itsbudget by a total of $205,000, with a reorganizationof staff saving about $30,000,Chase said. The reduction is about 11 percentof the department’s overall budget.Chase said he hopes the maintenancereduction is not a long-term adjustment,“but ultimately may depend heavily uponan improved local economy.”Ten parks, including Liberty LakeBy the numbers$175,000Amount SpokaneCounty cut this yearin park maintenance$169,000Amount Liberty Lakebudgeted this year forpark maintenanceEquipment inthe Liberty Lakemaintenanceshop is one ofthe expenses ofkeeping parkspace in thecommunitymaintained.County Park, are designated as level 1 andwill have nearly normal service. The biggestchange will be that the shelters andrestrooms won’t open until June 1 andwill close Sept. 15, eliminating about 10weeks of service compared to prior years.Maintenance — such as garbage collection— also will be slightly reduced. Thepark still will have lifeguards.Two parks are designated level 2, includingthe Liberty Lake ORV Park.Those parks will not open restrooms andservices will be more limited.The county is open to volunteers whowant to help with park maintenance andservice, Chase said. The county is preparinga “menu” of needed items or servicesfor each affected park. County employeesalso are preparing materials for park usersto understand the changes.For more information about volunteering,contact Spokane County ParkRanger Bryant Robinson at 477-6395 orBROBINSON@spokanecounty.org.$7,000Amount the cityestimates it costsper acre to maintainparkland2Number of city’sfull-time employeeswho maintain parks(hours spread betweenemployees)Keeping green spacegreen costs taxpayersOn the coversplash photo by Hope brumbachJeff Nelson, the city’s equipmentmanager for parks, works on machinerythis week in Liberty Lake’s shop.City stretchesdollars for parksBy Hope BrumbachSplash EditorWith the addition of Rocky Hill Park, thecity of Liberty Lake is preparing for steadilygrowing costs of maintaining the parks andgreen space in the community.The city now maintains just shy of 50acres, with roughly 15 acres each at PavillionPark and Rocky Hill Park and the openspace and corridors in the city, said DougSmith, the city’s planning and community5-6Number of seasonalemployees the citywill hire this yearSplash photo by Hope Brumbach50About the number ofacres in parks andopen space the citymaintainsdevelopment director.With roughly $160,000 to $170,000 inannual maintenance costs, the city paysabout $7,000 per acre of parkland and about$4,000 per acre in maintaining open space,Smith estimates. And that doesn’t includeirrigation costs, which typically run about$20,000 to $30,000 annually, he said.The budget this year for park maintenanceis $169,000, Smith said, and the city will geta reprieve on half of Rocky Hill Park, whichwill be finished this construction season.The park maintenance budget is tight, withlittle margin for paring back, Smith said.“Any reduction would result in reductionin the quality of what you see out there,”Smith said. “We’d be fertilizing less, mowingless, irrigating less. The margins are justtoo thin.”Parks are a key feature of the community,residents agree, and they have been ahot topic in the last years, with discussionsabout planned sizes of parks in the RiverDistrict development north of the freeway.City officials say, though, that growth ofparks needs to keep pace with the longtermcosts of maintaining them.“In the final analysis, while there are expensesassociated with it, the return on investmentis well worth it. It really is whatadds to the vitality of Liberty Lake,” Smithsaid of park space. “I wish we had moremoney to spend on parks and open space.We have to be conservative and cautiousthat we don’t overextend ourselves.”In the River District, for example, someCity Council members pushed last fall forlarger parks and setting aside additionalacreage for a 20-acre park. City staff cautionedagainst reserving the property, however,saying that capital costs are one-timeexpenses while maintenance costs quicklymount. The city still has the option to purchaseproperty in the future.“There’s no argument that everyone appreciatesthe level of service we have inparks and open space, we have a tremendouslevel of service,” Smith said. “But at thesame time, there has to be an awareness thatwith that level of service, there has to be alevel of financial commitment to maintainit.”It would be “worse to be in county’s positionof building up the inventory and (havingthe) financial restraints of making cutbacks,”Smith said.

Repeat.I love this time of year. March Madness.This is the time to take those two personaldays at the office, fire up the grill and enjoya Thursday and Friday of feasting on hoopsand food.The beauty of March Madness is nearlyeveryone fills out a bracket. Some pickbased on their favorite colors, which mascotcan beat up another mascot (sharp-toothedland animals generally beat up the winged32˝ LCD TelevisionBragging RightsFree Baked GoodsPersonalTraining Sessions32˝ LCD TelevisionPersonalTraining Sessionsmascots) or what states they have lived in.But if you want to enjoy some braggingrights or want a more highly calculatedpicking guide, here are eight rules for fillingout the bracket (all statistics and rulesare based off when the NCAA expanded thefield to 64 in 1985). I will use each of therules as I make my Splash Madness picks,so sign up online (at www.libertylakesplash.com), play along for free and see how manyof these theories play true.Pick two top seeds to make the FinalFour. Nearly two No. 1 seeds — 1.84 to beexact — make it to the Final Four each year.There was only one year in the last 25 inwhich not one top seed made it to the finalweekend of play, and that was 2006. Threeof those top seeds, however, were in theElite Eight. Also consider, though, that onlyonce in 25 years have all four No. 1 seedsmade it through their region.Don’t pick with your heart. Yes, you want32˝ LCD Television Gonzaga to win it all, but can they? Sincethey made their run to the Regional Final in1999 they have never made it past the SweetSixteen. Picking with your heart can poisonyou quickly. My team, the Iowa Hawkeyes,was a number three seed in 2006; I pickedthem for the Final Four even though myhead said they weren’t that strong. They lostin the first round.Never place a number seven in the titlegame. Hasn’t happened and probably won’tthis year. In fact, every seed between oneand eight has made it to a championshipgame and won a NCAA title in the last 25years but the seventh seed. So if your favoriteteam is a seven, you might want toplan that weekend getaway during the FinalFour.Flip a coin. Seriously. At least do it whenyou are dealing with the first round eightversus-ninematch-up. Over the past 25years, the ninth seed has won 54 percentof the time. So when in doubt or facing amatch-up in which you can’t pick a winner— flip a coin. Odds are you will be right halfthe time!Consider advancing a 10 to the SweetSixteen. First off, the reality: Seventh seedshistorically win the majority of their gamesin the first round against the number 10seed. Although when a number 10 seedadvances to the second round, they typicallyhave a better chance of pulling off anupset, going 17-21 in the last 25 years. Sopick more number sevens than 10s but takea gamble on one 10 to win two games.Sports BriefsRunning group formsThe Liberty Lake Running Club is agroup that runs every Thursday night at6 p.m. from March through November.The group meets at 5:45 p.m. at PalenqueMexican Restaurant, 1102 N.

Some great tournamentruns have come from low seeds suchas number 11 seed George Mason’s run tothe Final Four in 2006. The reality is manyindividuals see names of schools they havenever heard from and assume they willlose to big name programs. Gonzaga fans,remember Davidson? Don’t assume a nonameschool has no game.Play the percentages. Since 1985 thehighest seed (number 11 or greater) thathas the best winning percentage in the firstround is the number 12 seed, which winson average 34 percent of the time. Whichmeans out of the four number 12 seeds inthis year’s tournament, statistics say one ofthem is going to win their first game (threewon their first round game last year).Go on a limb — just don’t go twice. Everyoneloves to pick the crazy upset, and thenumber 15 seed is the lowest seed to everwin a first-round game (meaning, DON’Tpick a number 16 seed to win). In the last25 years numbers 13, 14 and 15 seeds havewon 40 times BUT only six have made it tothe Sweet Sixteen. So, if you pick the lowestseeds to pull the huge upset — congrats.But history says that team won’t win two ina row.And remember if your bracket goes bustafter the first weekend of games, there is oneconsolation — opening day of the baseballyear is the same day of the championshipgame, April 5, and the Mariners with all oftheir off-season acquisitions are looking likea potential playoff team this season.The club invites new members and willresume golfing at the newly remodeledLiberty Lake Golf Course in June.National judo on tap at HUBThe HUB Sports Center in Liberty Lakeis hosting this weekend the 2010 ScholasticNationals for Judo.Locally hosted by Pacific Judo Academy,a nonprofit club based out of the SpokaneRegional Police Training Center, kids ages 5and up from across the nation will participateon Saturday and Sunday.For more information, visit www.usjudo.org.MARCH 173 p.m. CV Boys Tennis vs. Gonzaga Prep3 p.m. CV Girls Tennis vs. Gonzaga Prep4 p.m. CV Soccer at Mead HSMARCH 183:30 p.m. CV Boys Tennis at University3:30 p.m. CV Girls Tennis vs. University4 p.m. CV Softball at Rogers4 p.m. CV Baseball at Rogers

The Splash mARCH 11, 2010 • 15Third year in a rowfor school reductionsBy Chad KimberleySplash Staff WriterFor the school board and the administrationof the Central ValleySchool District, this time of year isstarting to produce a harshly consistentmessage: the need to cut thebudget for the next school year.“This year will be the third yearin a row we have made significantcuts to the Central Valley SchoolDistrict budget,” SuperintendentBen Small said at Monday’s schoolboard meeting as he began outliningpotential areas for trimming.Two years ago, the districtneeded to cut $1.5 million; for thecurrent school year, the reductionwas $3.4 million; for next year, theadministration estimates $2.3 millionwill be cut from the district’sgeneral fund budget.Much of Monday’s early discussionwas geared toward theprobable loss of $1.56 million inI-728 student achievement initiativefunding. This funding, whichWashington voters approved in2000, provides 20.3 FTE (full-timeequivalent positions) across thedistrict in areas such as academicsupport and for class-size reduction.The Washington state Legislaturein its first two budget draftshas cut this area of funding toschool districts, and the CVSDboard of directors begrudginglyrecognized the need to cut thosepositions in the district if the statedoes not reinstate those dollars.“I have to be responsible and saycut it, but I don’t like it,” sharedboard member Debra Long in astatement that was echoed by allboard members.After the board approved thefirst step of the budget processwith the potential cuts of the I-728 funded positions, Small beganoutlining 31 different areas thatcould be potential cuts.The areas, which are posted intheir entirety on the district’s Website (www.cvsd.org), include possiblereductions to school budgets,staffing positions (including potentially10 teachers), an eliminationof half-day kindergarten, whichwould be replaced by all-day alternatingdays, secondary extracurricularprograms (potentially golf,newsCVSD prepares for budget cutsgymnastics and seventh-gradefootball) and changes in schooladministration positions.The list, approved by the schoolboard, allows the administrationto begin conversations with staffand community members.“Moving forward this list is thebasis for our community workshops,”Small said.The community workshops,which will be held from 7 to 8:45 $180 120$1999 MOFREE HBO& ShowtimeFREE DVR FREE FREE EAGLE Satellite • 800 DUMPCABLE (1-800-386-7222)John EdwardPsychic MediumHe has captivated audiences worldwide.

I once suspectedunderstanding was the byproductof a magical age, but that’s not true anymore than you automatically know how todrive a car when you strike 16 or to distrustpoliticians at 18.

If patience is avirtue, I’m glad you have so many of theother ones.I guess you’ve heard what people havebeen telling me lately. You know, that thingthey always say after they ask you, “Wow,are you getting excited for kindergarten?”They look at me and say, “Fast, wasn’t it?”I can’t say these same people didn’t warnme five years ago with treasures of wisdomscrawled on the white side of an “It’sa Girl” card.

Something aboutthe weekly, daily, hourly checkmarks causelife to tick past even faster, they warn me,as if you can hear the clock. But I’ve got totell you something. I’m not worried aboutyou keeping up with the pace, Kylie. That’sabsolutely not what I’m worried about.You might have heard your Mom and Ilaugh that you’re not the most affectionatechild, and in case you don’t always wait forthe next sentence, I hope you know that’sA-OK by us.
