Hillyard Festival Gazette 2013 Edition
Sat & Sun, Aug 4th & 5th, 7-9am Kiwanis Midway in Harmon Park
From The Desk of the President:
It has been a pleasure serving as President of the Hillyard Heritage
Celebrations organization, the organizers of the Hillyard Festival.
The Festival over the last 100 years has to reflect on itself and look
at change. Look at programs that benefit the community and at the
same time offer growth while maintaining its roots. An example
would be ChalkArtWalk. That event has over 16 years of tradition
and by offering it to other groups within our community to organ-
ize, we promote more growth. Our annual Hi-Jinx Parade will go
through still another change to reflect on our values and history.
Traditionally we have presented the homespun family parade, we
then added the parade of cars along later with a car show. This
year we will have a reflection and tribute to the men and women
who served our country proudly and made the ultimate sacrifice
for us. This will start at 9:45 with honor guard and banner of some
of our lost heroes, followed by bagpipes. After a brief moment or
two of silence, our traditional pride begins with another honor,
Hillyard spirit.
Please join us for our three day event Friday afternoon thru Sun-
day at 4pm. We will have firework at dusk on on Saturday.
Respectfully submitted,
Dave Griswold President,

2013 Hillyard Gazette Page 3
By Luke Tolley,
Hillyard Gazette Editor
This year marks my 8th as Hillyard Fes-
tival Gazette Editor. I'm extremely
proud of all 9 Gazettes we've put out
(we did two for the centennial of the
Hillyard Festival a couple years ago).
That said, I would be remiss if I didn't,
as always put out the call for help.
More than ever before Hillyard stands
on the cusp of exploding in greatness.
Not that we weren't always great, but in
2013 several new leaders have stepped
up in different areas to help carry the
load. There are two sayings that I live
by that apply here, “Leaders do not cre-
ate followers, they create more leaders”
from Tom Peters and “Many hands
make light work,” from John Hey-
wood.”
I'd like to recognize some new leaders
that have made the work of bettering
our neighborhood lighter work this
year. First, Amanda, Rich and the gang
from Gateway Church and their amaz-
ing work painting over graffiti and
beautifying our neighborhood. Also,
keeping us looking good has been Mike
Rapp, our Organizations of Northeast
Spokane (ONES) Clean and Green
Strategy Committee Chair. He brought
more businesses, organizations and
groups together for this year's GIANT
clean up than ever before. And he al-
ways does it with a smile on his face.
Mike and is wife MaryAnn, herself an
amazing community leader, help me
remember that civics is about the peo-
ple and it's supposed to be fun.
Kudos to Jessie Anderson for organiz-
ing ChalkArtWalk. I'm sure she felt
like she bit off more than she could
chew, but she did it. Another new lead-
er, but long time, multi-generational
Hillyardite who's stepping up is Marc
Ward. Marc has taken the helm of the
ONES Communications & Public Rela-
tions committee. (CPR... I love acro-
nyms.) He's trying to wrangle all the
cats of neighborhood newsletter, a new
website (sneak peak at the work in pro-
gress at www.nespokane.org) and just
helping people understand what ONES
is and why they should care.
I believe 2014 will be the year of the
youth, largely because of a couple peo-
ple. Rodney McAuley with Youth for
Christ and Nic Bowcutt from the Whit-
man Neighborhood Council and Rogers
High School. I can't put into words the
galaxy of ideas these two visionaries
have for engaging our neighborhood
with the youth. I would be remiss if I
didn't also mention Kris Stanford and
what she's doing with her group, Major
Forces, giving kids alternatives to nega-
tive behavior. Come check out a brand
new presentation from her group during
the Hillyard Festival. Mustn’t also for-
get Lisa and Liz at On Track Academy.
Their students are responsible for the
amazing new mural painted with the
support of Hillyard Community Fu-
tures. They are also responsible for
giving high schoolers an opportunity to
graduate when they might not otherwise
be able too. On Track is one of those
neighborhood gems that few people
know about, but holds the future of our
neighborhood in their hands.
Thank you also to all the new blood in
the Greater Hillyard Business Associa-
tion. Thanks especially to Dusty Wetz-
ler and Lynn Moore. Lynn stepped up
and took over my duties at Secretary,
which I appreciate more than I can say.
Dusty has been an amazing influence
on our community organizations and is
poised to help us raise funds and be
more prosperous than ever before.
I wish I could say this means I have
even more time to work on the Hillyard
Festival and the Gazette, but in reality
what it has really done is allow me to
step into a new leadership role as the
President of the Board of the Organiza-
tions of Northeast Spokane. We are a
new 501c3 working to bring the neigh-
borhood together under one voice. You
can read all about in Marc's story later.
I wish also that I could have bragged
about all the great new folks helping out
with the Hillyard Festival at the
Hillyard Heritage Celebrations meet-
ings. While our group is small but
mighty and unfathomably dedicated,
we're not seeing a lot of new blood. I
first got involved with my neighbor-
hood because I sent an email to then
President Desi Bucknell admonishing
the Hillyard Festival for not recruiting
volunteers. So, here's my pitch: We
need you to help with the Hillyard Fes-
tival. There is no other organization or
event that embodies Hillyard Pride
more, nor one that outsiders see as truly
Hillyard, so we should be putting our
best foot forward. We need you to do
that. If you can help, call our President
Dave Griswold at 868-2900, email us at
hillyardfestival@yahoo.com or just
show up at the Northeast Community
Center (4001 N Cook) on a Tuesday
evening around 6:30pm and jump in!
Thank you and enjoy the 2013 Gazette!

Hillyard Community Futures
The newest addition to join Historic
Hillyard‘s collection of outdoor murals
is now located at 5218 N. Market.
Through the non-profit Hillyard Com-
munity Futures (HCF), building owner
David Griswold offered the entire south
side of his building for a mural pro-
posed by students enrolled in Spokane
School District 81's alternative high
school, the local On Track Academy.
On Track Academy teacher Elizabeth
Silver led the effort to coordinate the
artistic interests of about 40 students
with those of other supportive members
of the community. Artist Cassie Strat-
ton, a Whitworth University graduate,
volunteered many hours working with
the students first as they explored
themes and concepts, then guiding them
through the realities of actually planning
to produce
a very large
mural and
finally su-
pervising
the imple-
mentation
phase. The students painted for hours
and hours over several weeks, often on
scaffolding in the hot sun, to complete
the mural, The final design features a
different perspective of Hillyard’s his-
toric railroad era and incorporates the
Academy’s Phoenix logo into the scene.
Community appreciation has been ex-
pressed for so many who helped with
everything from positive encouragement
to supervision on the job, to working
the lunch detail, to Ziggy’s Building
Materials who donated part of the paint
and sold the rest at cost, to a donation
from Hillyard Community Futures.
The colorful mural can be viewed by
those traveling north in vehicles or
walking and shopping along Market
Street. On Track Academy’s success
had become the inspiration to plan for
future murals smaller in scale on the
walls of several other buildings.

Spokane City Council
There has been a growing public interest
in using low-speed four-wheeled electric
vehicles to make short trips for shop-
ping, social, and recreational purposes.
In 2009, Washington State established
RCW 46.08.175, allowing local govern-
ments to create “golf cart zones.” In
2010, the Hillyard/Whitman/Bemiss
neighborhoods, through the GHNEPA
planning process, identified an interest in
pursuing a neighborhood electric golf
cart zone as a way to increase mobility at
a low-cost and encourage local business
development.
The proposed ordinance sponsored by
Councilwoman Waldref would create a
pilot Golf Cart Zone in Northeast Spo-
kane (see boundaries on reverse), allow-
ing residents 16 and over to operate elec-
tric golf carts on streets with a speed lim-
it of less than 25 miles/hour after regis-
tering their cart with the city and meet-
ing other driver education and safety
equipment requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Am I eligible to drive my golf cart in
Spokane?
You must be 16 years of age or older and
have completed a driver education
course or have previous experience driv-
ing as a licensed driver. Persons with
revoked license under RCW 46.20.285
may not operate a golf cart on the public
roadway. (RCW 46.08.175)
Why don’t we require a driver’s license
to operate a golf cart?
RCW 46.04.1945 defines a golf cart as a
gas-powered or electric-powered four-
wheel vehicle originally designed and
manufactured on a golf course for sport-
ing purposes and has a speed attainable
in one mile of not more than 20 miles
per hour. Similar to a bicycle, a golf cart
is NOT considered a motor vehicle under
state law, but it must follow the rules of
the road. Thus, a golf cart does not re-
quire a driver’s license to operate and
does not require motor vehicle licensing
by the state.
Where and when can I drive my golf cart
in Spokane?
This ordinance permits
you to operate an electric
golf cart in Spokane with-
in the boundaries outlined
in the proposed Golf Cart
Zone (see reverse for
map). It may be operated
on a street or highway
with a speed limit of 25 mph or less. A
golf cart may cross over a street within
the Golf Cart Zone with a speed limit
greater than twenty-five miles per hour
when safe to do so at street intersections.
The following requirements/restrictions
for operation of a golf cart also apply
(RCW 46.08.175):
-A person is prohibited from operating a
golf cart in a designated bicycle lane
within a golf cart zone.
-City-issued registration decal should be
displayed at all times on the golf cart in
accordance with the city ordinance.
When can I drive my cart and what kind
of safety equipment do I need?
Golf carts may be operated from one half
hour before sunrise to one half hour after
sunset when equipped pursuant to the
requirements of chapter 46.37 RCW, and
may only operate beyond those hours
when equipped with headlamps, tail
lamps and turn signals meeting the mini-
mum requirements of chapter 46.37
RCW. All golf carts must be equipped
with appropriate reflectors, seat belts and
rear view mirror(s), regardless of the
hours of operation.
The Spokane City Council has passed
and approved an ordinance to create a
Golf Cart Zone in NE Spokane, bound
by Nevada, Euclid and the City limits.
To obtain your registration, visit the first
floor of City Hall. The fee is $50 and
helps pay for signage. Insurance is re-
quired.

Hillyard Golf Cart Zone

Hillyard Heritage Celebrations chose
the theme “Moving at the Speed of
Hillyard” for the Hillyard Festival for
many reasons this year. Hillyard, com-
pared to other neighborhoods seems to
have it’s own pace. Sometimes that
means we’re more like a golf carts, slow
and steady. We take the time to smell
the flowers.
Sometimes however, it means we’re
clipping right along at 70mph on a
brand new freeway. When we see op-
portunity, we chase it down and pounce
on it.
Enjoy these features related to, “Moving
at the Speed of Hillyard.”

Above is an illustration of
the final design elements of
the Francis Street Bridge that
is currently being constructed.
As you can see, the late Great
Northern Railway locomo-
tives were the inspiration for
the design.
The following pages detail
addition details on the surface
of the bridge and a very spe-
cial design element on the
lower area of the bridge.
Contrary to most road and
bridge construction with is
designed with textured surfac-
es and anti-paint coatings, this
design depicts part of an em-
bossed concrete mural built
with the express purpose of
offering a pallet for graffiti
artists.
Washington State Department
of Transportation (WSDOT)
design engineers worked with
Hillyard Neighborhood Coun-
cil (HNC) volunteers to bal-
ance the need to link the de-
signs of the bridges further
north on the North Spokane
Corridor with the unique
character of Hillyard.
Since the, HNC has become a
founding member of the Or-
ganizations of Northeast Spo-
kane and their Transportation
Committee is coordinating
with HNC.
We hope you like the designs.
If you are interested in work-
ing with WSDOT, contact JR
Sloan, 467-2241 or

Meals on Wheels
It’s 4am and the Greater Spokane County
Meals on Wheels’ kitchen is already
buzzing with activity. With 900 meals to
prepare daily, the crew has to get an early
start.
GSC Meals on Wheels delivers hot meals
for our homebound senior and disabled
neighbors throughout Spokane County.
In addition, they also serve 13 senior
meal sites where seniors gather for a deli-
cious healthy meal and camaraderie.
By the end of each month, that adds up to
25,000 meals served and hundreds of
seniors able to stay in their own homes.
GSC Meals on Wheels’ newest venture is
the Silver Café. Open since February
2012, the Silver Café operates under a
unique concept.
Customers under 60 years of
age can patronize the café and
pay full price for meals
($6.00). Proceeds from their
meals go back into GSC
Meals on Wheels program—
providing meals for our senior
neighbors.
Customers over 60 years of age can pay
the recommended donation of $3.50 per
meal or whatever they can afford.
The menu follows the current senior cen-
ter meal site menu with some extra
choices—freshly-prepared soup, salad,
and sandwiches. You can also stop in for
a latte, fresh pie, or other delicious snack.
Coffee is always free—as is Wi-Fi!
GSC Meals on Wheels has very much
felt the effects of the Sequestration and
soaring food prices. “We are doing what
we can to cut costs without putting any-
one on a waiting list,” says Pam Al-
meida, executive director. “Our seniors
shouldn’t have to wait for food.”
In addition to the loss of funding, GSC
Meals on Wheels also desperately needs
volunteers. The poor economy and high
gas prices make it difficult to find people
willing or able to deliver meals. Every
week, they have 31 open routes that need
drivers. Volunteer drivers generally give
an hour to an hour-and-a-half of their
time once a week to deliver 10-15 noon-
time meals.
“GSC Meals on Wheels started as a small
service project at Spokane Valley United
Methodist Church. It has grown and
thrived because of community support.
Right now, we need support from the
community more than ever to keep our
senior neighbors healthy and in their own
homes,” Almeida says.
If you’d like to help Greater Spokane
County Meals on Wheels, consider:
1. Making a donation.
2. Organizing your own fundraiser for
GSC Meals on wheels.
3. Volunteering to deliver meals or help
at the Silver Café.
4. Visiting the Silver Café at 4803 N
Nevada for lunch. Hours of opera-
tion are 10am-2pm, Monday through
Friday.
If you’d like more information about
Greater Spokane County Meals on
Wheels, please visit them on the web at

Parade Committee
Parade Marshals Hillyard Heritage Celebrations would
like to honor our headlining entertain-
ment acts, Sammy Eubanks and Christy
Comrie.
About Sammy Eubanks: This multi-
award winning, crowd pleasing and ver-
satile, National touring artist, is sure to
be just what everyone is looking for.
“Sammy Eubanks has an appeal that
transcends audiences from 8 to 80 and a
multitude of genres. His music just plain
makes you feel good. A truly unique tal-
ent that is proving to be a powerful force
in the American music scene" Michael
Cosentino of Direct Point Management.
Some things should never have a lable
put on it and Sammy Eubanks' music is
deffinately that!!! They are Soul Country
with a side of Rockabilly Blues!! Just
when you think you have them figured
out they will surprise you!!!
Sammy was born and raised in Califor-
nia until the age of 15 when he moved to
Priest River, Idaho. He always had a
deep love for music, especially the blues.
His early influences were his father Jes-
sie James Eubanks, BB King, Ray
Charles, Steppenwolf and Eric Clapton
to name a few.
He started his first band at the age of 20
called OTTO. They played current hits
of the 80’s such as ZZ Top, John Cougar
Melencamp and Tom Petty. After several
years with OTTO he joined a “Fossil
Rock Band” called The Cruiserz. The
Cruiserz may have needed a lead singer
but they also made him play guitar! It
was during his time with the Cruiserz
that he got his first taste of really playing
the blues, when former Curtis Salgado
bassist, John Mazzocco was at a gig at
Henry’s Pub watching Sammy play. Ac-
cording to Sammy they were playing
“Red House”. . Mazzocco kept saying
“don’t move . . . don’t move.” “It was as
if he was making me open up my soul
and let it in”.
A few years later in 1992, Sammy along
with his roommate Ted Todd and a small
group of people formed the Inland Em-
pire Blues Society.
When you think of it, artists like BB
King, Robert Cray, Little Ed and Blues
Imperials, Philip Walker, Kenny Neal
and anyone that plays the Blues has been
honing their craft their entire lives. At
the other end of the spectrum artists like
George Jones, George Strait, Marty Stu-
art, Merle Haggard, Lee Roy Parnell and
anyone who has ever banged it out in a
Honky Tonk have been honing their craft
as well. Sammy can stand on either stage
and has many times. It was recently stat-
ed,” Along the borderline between Coun-
try and Blues some genius arises. Delbert
McClinton and Sammy Eubanks have
the same borderline genre.”
Sammy’s name alone speaks volumes----
as does his music. Quite possibly the
most reputable musician in the Inland
Empire, Sammy Eubanks delivers a
quality performance every time he takes
the stage, playing a variety of Blues,
Country and Rock n’ Roll Classics as
well as originals. Influenced by many
artists and styles, he too demonstrates
diversified talent rarely seen in music
today. Ever the skillful vocalist and gui-
tar player, he is a leader in the Northwest
music scene. “Sammy Eubanks has an
appeal that transcends audiences from 8
to 80 and a multitude of genres. His mu-
sic just plain makes you feel good. A

About Christy Comrie: Born and raised
in Southern California on a thoroughbred
ranch, Christy has always had a musical
upbringing in the sense that no matter
what she was doing, country music was
always playing. The lifestyle she lived
also contributed to her love and passion
for country music, but also allowed her
to venture into other genres. "I play and
sing anywhere that i possibly can and
have built a name I am proud to carry in
the Pacific Northwest." Christy's mom
owns a store in History Hillyard.
When asked what her musical influences
were and are, she responded "I just love
what country music stands for. That in
itself inspires me as well as my own life
experiences."
After her losing her father recently in
June 2012, she claims that she has been
more adamant than ever to make her ca-
reer successful because her father always
believed in her. " He was my favorite
person in the world and I realized he
would want me to pursue my dream and
passion. I’m living it out for the both of
us."
Christy is currently residing in Nashville,
TN, where she is pursuing her career as a
country music artist. Join our mailing

Roving Gamblers Motorcycle
Club
There were three RGMC members sit-
ting on a bench in front of a Hillyard
tavern. You walk up, curious, and intro-
duce yourself and ask them to tell you a
“brief history?”
The first RGMC member leaned for-
ward and said, “…Blustery? Ya! It’s
windy!”
The second old biker shoved the first a
little and said, “Wednesday? Na! It’s
Thursday!”
Number three perks up, shooting
straight up in his seat and says,
“Thirsty?!? Ya! Let’s go have a beer.
All joking aside, the Roving Gamblers
Motorcycle Club has a long history.
The club was founding in 1967 out of
many members of the old Spokane and
Evergreen Motorcycle clubs. It was
officially incorporated as non-profit in
1969 and as an American Motorcyclist
Association Member chartered club.
The stated purpose was to promote the
sport of motorcycling with day fun rides
and overnight camp outs.
Events for this year include participating
in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in down-
town Spokane, a food bank ride to Ket-
tle Falls, the Bob Cobb Memorial Ride
benefiting the American Heart Associa-
tion, the bikes for books event reward-
ing children for reading, the Elk Days
Parade, the Fun Run Campout, the
RGMC Family Picnic, the Hillyard Hi-
Jinx Parade and Show n' Shine, a food
bank ride to Priest River, the annual
Halloween Party for local retirement
home residents, the Thanksgiving Tur-
key Run and a Christmas Party. RGMC
is a busy club, riding, having fun and
supporting the community through char-
itable giving. All while promoting the
sport of motorcycle riding.
Our club meets about 40 times per year
with plenty of activity to keep members
busy. For more information on how to
get involved with the RGMC, contact
our current Road Captain at 475-3267,
visit our booth at the Hillyard Festival
or stop by the Lariat Restaurant in Mead
at 7:30pm on Wednesdays to chat about
motorcycles.

ONES Communications & Pub-
lic Relations Commitee
Organizations of NE Spokane (ONES)
is an alliance Greater Hillyard and
Northeast Spokane. Membership is
open to all organizations who serve
northeast SPokane that want to work
together to make our neighborhood a
better place. ONES started, out of pre-
vious partnerships and a neighborhood
planning effort, in December of 2012 as
an alliance of the three neighborhood
councils of Whitman, Bemiss, and
Hillyard joined by the business associa-
tion, community development steering
committee and the Northeast communi-
ty Center. This partnership was formed
by a shared commitment: to improve the
community of Northeast Spokane
through a one single voice. This single
voice has allowed ONES and its partici-
pating organizations to accomplish
some great things in a very short time.
ONES has helped organize the largest
neighborhood cleanup in the city,
through it's Clean and Green Strategy.
We have hosted several events, recruit-
ing numerous members of the communi-
ty to run Block Watches. ONES sees
Block Watches as the building block of
a united community. ONES has helped
organize a graffiti abatement team for
the three neighborhoods headed by vol-
unteers from Gateway Church, while
recruiting others to
participate and edu-
cating on graffiti pro-
cedures.
We have also collab-
orated closely with
local colleges and
high schools, bringing the youth out into
our community in new and exciting
ways. Additionally, as the Neighbor-
hood Councils always have, ONES
serves as the official voice of the neigh-
borhoods with our goverment agencies
from the City of Spokane to WSDOT.
Going into the future, ONES hopes to
continue riding the momentum of these
great experiences and successes by cre-
ating annual events for each of the
neighborhoods to build community and
by being the truly unified voice of the
region. We will grow our membership
to include large non-profits that serve
our neighborhood like the Salvation Ar-
my. We will focus our work on the pri-
orities of our neighborhood like improv-
ing public safety, in the traditional
ways, but also with education and instil-
ling pride in our community. Another
focus of ONES and the community is
promoting economic growth and foster-
ing job development like the NE Public
Development Authority to transform
East Hillyard into a modern thriving
industrial park with many new jobs. We
will continue to be the link between the
local schools and the community and
continue to improve the look and feel of
Greater Hillyard.
If your organization would like join
ONES or you would like more infor-
mation, contact our President, Luke Tol-
ley at 475-3509 or
HillyardONES@gmail.com.
What is the Organinzations of NE Spokane?
By Lynn Weiler
COPS Northeast
We’re still here and back under the Po-
lice Dept. but things are a changing but
being the resourceful volunteers we are,
we will roll with the punches and come
out better. We may have to move but
we’ll deal with it then.
Hillyard is becoming a more transient
neighborhood with lots of rentals and
apartment complexes.
The best deterrent to crime and gangs
are BLOCK WATCH and SAFE
STREETS. You know who belongs in
your neighborhood, what cars they drive
and who the kids are. If you see a suspi-
cious person, suspicious vehicle or sus-
picious circumstance, call it in. Keep
calling it in. That way the police know
where things are happening. We want
to have over 100 BLOCK WATCHES
in the Hillyard neighborhood by this
summer. Come into the shop and we
will give you the information you need
to start one on your block.( We under-
stand that some of you don’t want
strangers in your home and don’t know
all our neighbors. Come on in and we
will help you make a flyer with date,
time and location for your meeting. It
could be the C.O.P. Shop, Dairy Queen
for ice cream, the park or someone’s
yard.) We can help you get started. We
need to let the bad guys know that you
are watching your neighbor’s house and
they are watching yours. YOU WILL
BE CAUGHT.
We have been here for over 20 years
and our core volunteers have kept the
shop open 9-5 5 days a week but we
now have a wish list:
We would like to be open one or two
evenings a week or maybe on Saturday.
We need more volunteers. We have
wonderful programs but don’t have the
volunteer staff to man them. They are:
NOP—Neighbors on Patrol, walking
NOP—where as you take your morning
or evening walks, you reports suspicious
circumstances that you see, Code En-
forcement complaints, Latent Finger-
print Lifting—lifting prints off vehicles
of car prowling, Graffiti reporting and
removal, abandoned auto—get the vehi-
cles off the streets, neighborhood clean-
up, school watch—watching the kids go
by walking to school so they are not
bullied. All these programs will be fully
explained and you will be fully trained
to do the job.
Our NCO, Officer Kim Thomas has ac-
cepted a new position and the new NCO
is Officer Wayne Downing. NCO
Downing will be working patrol until
Sept. 3rd. He will be in the C.O.P. Shop
when time allows, so come on by to
meet him.
Officer Thomas was working on 50
problem houses this year. So far this
year ( Jan 1 to May 31), The calls were:
428---Domestic Violence , 174----
noise , 91----fights,124 ---threats,195---
assaults,193 ---drug house,110 ---
Trouble , 129---Harassment,57 ---Party
Houses, 350---Arguments, 509----traffic
stops, and 102 ---disorderly persons.
He agrees that the best deterrent to
crime is BLOCK WATCHES AND
SAFE STREETS and the shop can help
you with these.
If you have any problems with anyone
on parole, come into the shop and talk to
Ryan Austin or Al Warren, our Depart-
ment of Corrections Officers. They will
help all they can. If you have a parolee
in your neighborhood and they are do-
ing fine and living a good life, let the
DOC officer know. We all want these
people to succeed.
Come by the shop, visit with us and let
us help you make your neighborhood a
safer place to be.

Do you have Rogers Pride? Did you or
someone in your family go to John R.
Rogers High School? If so, or if you
just want to be inspired by an amazing
group of young people, do yourself a
favor and find this “Rogers State of
Mind” Youtube video.
Here’s a link (type carefully):
http://youtu.be/yRhIbwvgxkM
This video by Rogers students Miles
Fowler and Bao Tran was a collabora-
tion between a performer and a videog-
rapher that has made for amazing re-
sults. Rogers has changed and im-
proved a lot in recent years and the two
youths teamed up to illustrate that, in a
very entertaining way. Set to the tune of
Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind,” the
song tells the viewer, “Now you’re at
Rogers, these halls will make you feel
brand new—these days will inspire you,
let’s hear it for Rogers.”
Please take a minute, head over to
YouTube and check out this video.

Hillyard Heritage Museum
The Hillyard Heritage Museum leases
the land for the Hobo Park at Queen
and Market for the use of Hillyard resi-
dents. It is maintained by
numerous supportive individuals work-
ing together in order to present an
attractive green space in the heart of our
business community.
Funds to pay the taxes, water bills, and
various up-keep expenses are
raised at the annual Hobo Dinner and
Auction held each year in early
spring. The community hopes to erect a
building on adjacent land where
artifacts depicting Hillyard's history will
be displayed.
To help support the museum financially,
or to donate items of historical
interest, please contact Mike B. at 483-

words of thanks to the

Hillyard’s History
2013 Hillyard Gazette Page 19
The Washington State Didital Archives just posted a new series called Spokane City Parks, Lantern Slides, 1900-1930. There are 123 photos in this collec-
tion, but the only Hillyard one was this photo taken between 1910 and 1920 of the Hillyard Pool, so in the public domain now. -Charles Hansen

Teaming up to create a new & upcoming
non profit organization assisting the
youth to fight for a positive image,
Lei Ma-
jors from
Wei Ma-
jors Mu-
sic Group
& Kris
Stanford
from Lib-
erating
Forces
shared a
vision
regarding
Spokane’s
upcoming
genera-
tion. Both
had previ-
ously lived the less than desirable “street
life” and both managed to escape the
strong hold that that type of lifestyle
brings upon you. The pair teamed up to
reach out to other teens in the area by
offering a Summer Youth Music Work-
shop allowing the youth to creatively
express themselves in a positive manner.
“We have Hillyard pride and we believe
in our kids,” says resident of Hillyard
Kris Stanford, “Let them be creative, Let
them have a voice....it’s time we start
listening....It’s time we allow them to
express themselves and we have provid-
ed a way for that to happen.” Their only
rule is NO CUSSING. Youth are en-
couraged to put their vocabulary & crea-
tivity to good use...oh, and have to fun.
Lei Majors’ The Pain is one of Spo-
kane’s favorites. His past hardships
have created some very insightful lyrics

Strange and Funny Tombstones
****************************
Born 1903-Died 1942
Looked up the elevator shaft to see if the
car was on the way down. It was.
****************************
In a London, England cemetery:
Here lies Ann Mann,
Who lived an old maid
But died an old Mann.
Dec. 8, 1767
****************************
In a Pennsylvania cemetery:
Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake.
Stepped on the gas
Instead of the brake.
****************************
In a Silver City, Nevada, cemetery:
Here lays The Kid.
We planted him raw.
He was quick on the trigger
But slow on the draw.
****************************
A lawyer's epitaph in England:
Sir John Strange. .
Here lies an honest lawyer,
And that is Strange.
****************************
John Penny's epitaph:
Reader, if cash thou art
In want of any,
Dig 6 feet deep;
And thou wilt find a Penny.
****************************
In a cemetery in Hartscombe, England:
On the 22nd of June,
Jonathan Fiddle
Went out of tune.
****************************
In a cemetery in England:
Remember man, as you walk by,
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, you soon will be.
Prepare yourself and follow me.
To which someone replied by writing
on the tombstone:
To follow you I'll not consent
Until I know which way you went
****************************
Tiger Puzzle A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, “Please come over here and help me...I have a killer jigsaw puzzle and I can’t figure out how to get it started.” Her boyfriend asks, “What is it supposed to be when it’s finished?” The blonde says, “According to the picture on the box...it’s a tiger.” Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He stud-ies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, “First of all, no matter what we do, we’re not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger.” He held her hand and said, “Second, I’d advise you to relax, have a cup of coffee, then…” He sighed, “I’ll help you put all of these Frosted Flakes into the box.”
