opinion12 • July 5, 2012The SplashGenerosity, character have deep roots at West ValleyBy Jim WilliamsSplash Guest ColumnWhere do good ideas come from? InWest Valley, they come from many people.Good ideas flow when you are surroundedwith dedicated and innovative professionalsand community. Each person diligentlylooks for ways to make our schools better,and the kids benefit from those efforts. Ihave been privileged to serve on the WestValley School Board for many years now,and I can speak from experience that generosityis common in West Valley.One example would be our recognizedcharacter education program. Severalyears ago, board members and administratorsattended a national conferencefor the National School Boards Association.Board Member Bill Zimmer (nowretired) sat in a presentation on charactereducation along with then Assistant SuperintendentSharon Mowry. The subjectwas how some innovative schools adopteda program to feature certain charactertraits each month to inspire their students.These efforts took place in every schoolfrom kindergarten through high school.The potential benefits were obvious.They got excited!Through their efforts, others also got excitedand soon, it was incorporated in ourdistrict. Since then, each month, a charactertrait is highlighted, and our studentsstudy the trait and apply it in their dailyactivities. Good idea? You bet.This month, the trait is “generosity.” Ihave listed our monthly character traits asthey are all important:January: Fairness; February: Honesty;March: Diligence; April: Trustworthiness;May: Courage; June: Integrity; July: Generosity;August: Gratitude; September:Respect; October: Responsibility; November:Citizenship; December: CaringAll these traits are significant, but thismonth let’s explore generosity as a charactertrait.Certainly, from a personal standpoint,this is a great way to be. Being generouswith your personal time, your resourcesand your willingness to help others is importantand each person — students andadults — should adopt this goal in theirlives. We each get so caught up in our activitiesand needs and forget sometimesthat we are part of a larger group. Generosityis not a once-in-a-while thing, but itshould be a constant trait that we exhibiteach and every day.Certainly, in West Valley, we see generositydisplayed in the personal efforts ofour students, staff and parents. Their timeand efforts are exhibited through eventsand volunteerism in each of our schools inmore ways than we can list here. We simplycould not operate at the high levels weneed without their help and support. Theycontinue to give their time and caring, andwe appreciate it more than I can say.But there is more. There is also the generoussupport that our community historicallygives to their schools. Our maintenanceand operation and our technologylevies comprise a large percentage of thefinancial support that is necessary to delivera quality education experience. In somedistricts, this can be problematical, but thepartnership that we enjoy with our communityis outstanding. They are more thangenerous in this way, and we constantlystrive to be diligent in delivering a highstandard of excellence in our operations.One way we try to be generous as wellis the event we call the West Valley BlockParty. We invite all of our patrons to WestValley High School each year for the party.The school board and administrators enjoyserving a free spaghetti dinner with allthe trimmings. Each school has exhibitshighlighting what it is doing. Schools workhard to make this a fun and informativetime. This year on June 6, we served morethan 800 visitors, and the costs were paidfor and donated by our generous communitybusinesses and the generosity of staffdonating their time by working the event.So, generosity is certainly evident inWest Valley.Character education for us and for everybodyis a good idea. Generosity as apersonal trait is a good idea. It is part ofour culture and only one of the ways westrive to be the best we can be.Jim Williams has been a West ValleySchool Board member for nearly 30 years.He is a member of the nationwide organization“100 Civic Leaders.” He has beeninstrumental in a Civic Thinkers partnershipbetween West Valley School Districtand Eastern Washington University. Jim’sfive daughters are West Valley alumni, andhis daughter, Debra Stephens, is a currentWashington State Supreme Court Justice.This column was written as part of amonthly series highlighting the PACE (PartnersAdvancing Character Education) charactertrait of the month that runs in PACEpartner publications like The Splash.cover storyLLPDContinued from page 10Spokane Police Department and radiosprovided by the Spokane County Departmentof Emergency Management.Before we got in the car, he loweredhis tone to emphasize an important fact:All students on the course start with a15-minute briefing on what is expectedfrom drivers.“Reckless driving will not be tolerated,”Gibson said. “If you’re driving dangerouslyout there, you’ll be kicked out ofthe program and sent home.”We climbed into the car, with menot quite understanding when snakingthrough cones as fast as possible crosseda line into recklessness. Later, I’d learnthat each obstacle had a target speed —many of which were in the area of 35-50mph. No problem.I was buckling up in the passengerseat when Gibson told me I probablywouldn’t want any loose objects in mylap, so I tucked my reporters notebookaway in the pocket of the door and triedmy best to brace myself. As we pulledaway to enter the course, I asked how fastwe’d go. When he said the max would beabout 70 mph I sent out a quick prayer ofrelief. I drive faster than that all the time.Then he hit the gas, and I my headwas suddenly anchored to the headrest,aimed slightly toward the passenger-sidedoor. Gravity refused to let me readjust,so I watched Gibson out of the corner ofmy eyes as he explained the first obstacle.As we sped through cones, Gibsoncalmly talked through the exercise, notingthe skills emphasized in the training.Hands stay at three and nine on thesteering wheel and don’t move.I swallowed hard as we rounded acurve on the track and wondered whetherI’d be able to make good on my earlierpromise.“Basically, we stress maintaining astable vehicle platform through smoothsteering and straight-line acceleratingand braking,” Gibson said as we approachedanother set of cones. “Earlierin the month, we were able to practicehydroplaning with all the rain.”I was tossed around in my seat as hesteered through a stop-and-swerve exercise.“Through this program, we’re able toteach officers how to properly recoverfrom skids and front-end plowing,” Gibsoncontinued.We kept up the routine through theentire course, with Gibson explainingthe proper skills and speeds officers wereexpected to achieve. During the snakingthrough-conesexercise, he explainedhow there was a brief moment aroundeach turn when the driver should punchthe gas.We circled through a couple moretimes — once to give him enough timeto explain how the program helped someofficers feel more comfortable behind thewheel, and another lap to follow behinda trail of other vehicles, learning how toanticipate another driver’s moves.Somewhere along the way, I caught aglimpse of my face in the rear-view mirrorand realized I was smiling. I workedhard to look more professional and serious.After all, I didn’t feel like I should besmiling. And the smell of burning brakeswas about to put me over the edge.I noticed Gibson was laughing at me,and I let out the kind of involuntarylaugh-scream I usually reserve for rollercoasters.We parked and took a quick break beforeour last lap — one with me behindthe wheel. By this time, I could have leftfeeling like I’d gotten plenty out of theexperience, but I figured I shouldn’t passon a chance to drive a cop car with lightsand sirens on a racetrack.I tried to recall all the informationGibson had passed along in the last houras I made my way through the course. Iremember him telling me not to brake.Halfway through, he explained thatbraking during some of the maneuverscould actually be dangerous, so I triedmy best to maintain my speed the rest ofthe way.When we finished, he said he’d grademy driving a solid B+, but when I askedwhat it’d take to earn an A, he hesitated.“Well,” he said, “a lot.”I think I’ll leave that to the professionals.I left the track with a renewed respectfor what officers endure, and I’m willingto concede that quick decision-makingin high-risk situations might not be myforte. Thankfully, I know some guys whoexcel in that area.Kelly Moore is a staff writer for TheSplash. Write to her at kmoore@libertylakesplash.com.

The Splash July 5, 2012 • 13HISTORY‘Songs of Prophecy’ relayed in Tecomtee’s rich voiceDID YOU KNOW?By Karen JohnsonLiberty Lake Historical SocietyAlong the eastern shoreline of 19th centuryLiberty Lake lived Tecomtee and hisfamily, members of the Coeur d’Alene tribeof Indians. The story of Tecomtee actuallyprecedes him, for his legacy may best be describedas a passageway through which thevision and desires of his grandfather, ChiefCircling Raven, were carried and preserved.The highly revered Circling Raven (memorializedas chief 1660-1760) is rememberedfor his ability to decipher and thenprophesy messages received from a circlingraven when the tribe faced grave circumstances.The most publicized of his Songs ofProphecy centered on the coming of whatwe call Christianity to the tribe, specificallyincluding the coming of the Black Robe (Jesuitpriests) who would explain this truth.His unwavering hope in these propheticsongs was so contagious, in 1740 the tribebegan celebrating annually what they wouldlater call Christmas. Although Circling Ravenrelentlessly searched for the Black Robethe rest of his life, he died before any cameto Coeur d’Alene territory. His passion,however, was passed into the heart of hisson Twisted Earth, Tecomtee’s father, whoalso prophesied and hunted continuallyfor them. When the Black Robe finally arrivedin the person of Father DeSmet, hisreception was nothing short of joy-filledand tearful. Twisted Earth declared the longawaited prophecy fulfilled.Circling Raven’s Songs of Prophecy wereprecious tribal treasures — revered, celebrated,fulfilled and pressed into the heartsof generations of Coeur d’Alenes primarilythrough his grandson, Tecomtee. In fact,young Tecomtee was called Circling Ravenfor some time. (It was customary that if ayoung man did not perform brave historicaldeeds himself, he could rightfully claim hisfather’s or grandfather’s historical actionsand name.) Tecomtee had no propheticpowers, but it was said there was no equalto his rich tenor voice, which was admiredby the entire tribe. Every evening he couldbe heard singing the prophecy songs of hisgrandfather, Circling Raven.Moving slightly west of his father’s villageat Headwaters (the present day city of Coeurd’Alene), Tecomtee and two brothers-in-lawsettled their families around Liberty Lake:Tecomtee along the eastern shoreline, PeterWildshoe on the west side of the lake,and (future Chief) Andrew Seltice over thewestern hillside on Lake Seltice (SalteseLake). The three families enjoyed living inthe same community. Seltice threw his annual“first of July” parties for the entire tribeat Liberty Lake, and many would stay overnightin order to sit around a lakeside bonfire,listening to Tecomtee’s voice echo theirbeloved Songs of Prophecy across the water.Many of the younger men who had grownto know the songs by heart sang along andharmonized.Tecomtee did not have large herds of cattleand horses like his two brothers-in-law,but he loved the outdoors and was alwaysfriendly, hospitable and generous to a fault.In fact, his wife complained to the Chief,who in turn warned all the Indian tradersnot to take advantage of him since he wastoo generous to demand a fair deal for himself.He was a trader at heart, but his generousspirit was also his curse. White tradersfound Tecomtee easy prey to their trades ofgenerous alcoholic samplings. He becameknown as “weak-hearted” around alcohol,and his ambitions of greatness began to waver.As wars and rumors of war culminatedin the 1850s, Tecomtee went with Selticeand Wildshoe to talk things over with thenChief Vincent. They persuaded Vincent tobuild a church instead of raising arms. Later,at the July 1st celebration in 1856 or 57,400 tribal leaders met with Chief Vincentwhile the rest of the tribe participated inSubmitted photoTecomtee’slegacylives onas severalgenerationsof LibertyLake friendsroutinelygatheraround thecampfireduringsummermonths torememberand pass onstories fromthe past.the annual games. It was here that Tecomteegave his first political speech, reasoning forpeace over war in agreement with his brothers-in-lawand others whose desire was toplease God and set a peaceful example fortheir children. The divided tribe becamecontentious, even to the point of accusingTecomtee of cowardice. But at the end of theday, many stayed overnight to gather by thelakeshore and sit in silence for hours reflectingas Tecomtee sang the Songs of Prophecy.Heading home the following day, it wasthe young men who led the traveling familiesin singing the Songs of Prophecy theyhad come to love so deeply. This would certainlybecome Tecomtee’s legacy, preservingand passing along the heart and soul of hispeople for generations to come.The Coeur d’Alenes were brave and capablewarriors, relentless in defendingtheir homes and families from injustices;but they were also known, like Tecomtee,as honest, intelligent, moral and charitablepeople who practiced peace, not war, insettling inter-tribal disputes. Five years afterthe 1858 wars with Steptoe and ColonelWright, the Coeur d’Alenes were advisedtheir best strategy against the coming influxof land-claiming white settlers was tochoose the most fertile land (the Palouse)and lay claim to it by the entire tribe. Initially,the tribe as a whole resisted, but ayear later they began the collective move.Tecomtee and his brothers-in-law left theirbeautiful homeland of Liberty Lake to resettletheir families, once again close together,near present day Tekoa, at the north end ofthe tribe’s staked claim. While Seltice andWildshoe assumed more prominent roleswithin the community, Tecomtee’s strengthwas proven through preserving the culturalheritage of his people.Karen Johnson is a member of the board ofthe Liberty Lake Historical Society. She haslived in Liberty Lake most of her life.• Twisted Earth, Tecomtee’s father,met Lewis and Clark.• Circling Raven was to the Coeurd’Alenes as Shining Shirt was tothe Flatheads. Both prophesiedthe coming of Christianity to theirtribes and lands.• In 1720, Circling Raven sanga prophecy that the Savior of theworld had been born a long timebefore. In view of this, he warnedhis tribe, they and their enemiesshould avoid further bloodshed.They made peace treaties with theSpokanes and Flatheads, resultingin over a century of peace andintermarriage, and war becamepractically unknown as a means ofsettling inter-tribal disputes. Eventheir final move to resettle in thePalouse is unique in the annalsof North American Indian historybecause it was done so peacefully.• When the brothers-in-law resettledtheir families, Tecomtee, trueto his character, staked his claimfour miles beyond them in order toleave the others plenty of grazingland since they had so much morestock than he.• A prophecy can be a prediction,an instruction or an exhortation.Genesis of Liberty LakeA series from the Liberty Lake HistoricalSociety, appearing in the firstSplash issue of each month in 2012.January: Geology of Liberty LakeFebruary: Coeur d’Alene TribeMarch: 150 years of Gathering,Recreation and MusicApril: Indian Wars, Part IMay: Indian Wars, Part IIJune: Chief SelticeJuly: TecomteeAugust: Peter WildshoeSeptember: Mullan TrailOctober: Homestead ActNovember: Spokane Bridge CrossingDecember: Stephen Liberty
