LL youth commission provides avenue for students to be heard, serve the communityBy Tammy KimberleySplaSh Staff Writer

While Easter is more than a week away, one group of local students is already see-ing visions of plastic eggs and candy.

The Liberty Lake Youth Commission has been planning for the All Fools’ Hunt, a night egg hunt for older students, since the beginning of the year. This event is only one way the youth commission serves the community, as they also volunteer with area charities and partner with local orga-nizations to support community events.

Mayor Wendy Van Orman said the group was formed in 2007 because the city council wanted to make sure area youth had a voice in the community. The youth commission took the lead in organizing the All Fools’ Hunt and Battle of the Bands that first year in addition to working with the Ronald McDonald House and Habitat for Humanity. Since the commission’s cre-ation, the group has been recognized for its leadership and community service by Chase Youth Awards.

The Splash recently sat down with two commission members, Holly Shaarbaf and Penny Zhang, as well as Van Orman to hear more about how the youth commis-sion operates and what plans they have in the works for the near future.

Sharing their voices

Q. Why did you choose to get in-volved with the youth commis-sion?

A. Shaarbaf: Liberty Lake is such a nice city and has a good overall sense of community. Everybody

is a part of one another. I like contributing to that.

Zhang: I moved here my freshman year from Canada. It was the summer and I didn’t have anything to do. I thought the best way to alleviate that feeling was to get involved, so I looked at the city’s website and saw the youth commission. I’m really into community service, and I thought the youth commission was one of the best ways to do that. I joined and liked it, so I’ve been a part for three years.

Q: In your own words, how would you describe the mission of the group?

A: Zhang: It’s like youth empowerment. Giving the youth a voice and allowing us to really make a difference in the commu-nity. In a lot of cities, grown-ups make the decisions. As youth we get to say what we want to do. We’re involved in what’s hap-pening in Liberty Lake.

Q: Who is eligible to be part of the youth commission?

A: Van Orman: Any high school student who sends in an application form. The group is open to students in eighth to 12th

LLCT to vacate donated spaceFuture for non-profit uncertain with no prospects for relocationBy Kelly MooreSplaSh Staff Writer

The future of Liberty Lake Community Theatre is in limbo, as the group was asked last week to vacate its current location by the end of May.

The non-profit theater has operated since 2009 on a temporary basis in donat-ed space in Greenstone’s Liberty Square Building, 1421 N. Meadowwood Lane. LLCT President Jennifer Ophardt was told an incoming business will rent the space.

At this time, Ophardt said the theater

has no prospects for a new location. In fact, the company may be scrambling to find a storage space for their equipment, stage and seating. Unless a new operating space comes up soon, Ophardt said the scheduled lineup will be indefinitely post-poned.

“If we find a place soon — before the end of May — we can continue with the summer programs and shows we have planned,” Ophardt said.

Ophardt said the group was surprised by the notice, but is staying positive.

“We knew there was a possibility of hav-ing to move if they found someone to rent the space,” she said. “We’re grateful for the time we were able to use it.”

The company has been actively search-ing for a new, permanent home since late

Gateway Park Location: Near the Idaho state line, just north of Interstate 90 at exit 299. Description: This 31-acre park includes more than 3 acres devoted to man’s best friend – an off-leash dog park fea-turing water fountains for the dogs and plenty of wooded and open area to explore. Elsewhere in the park, features include walking trails, picnic facilities and lots of Spokane River frontage and access. The Centennial Trail also passes through Gateway Park.

Half Moon ParkLocation: In northwest Liberty Lake’s River District, corner of Holl and IndianaDescription: This 3-acre park is located in Liberty Lake’s emerging River District. A neat feature of the park is a sandy play-ground area. In the summer months, children (and the young at heart) press a button and water trickles out of the rocks, allowing kids to build canals and castles. It is also a common location for movies and block parties in the summer. Harvard Road TrailheadLocation: Just southwest of the Harvard Road Bridge over the Spokane River. Description: Equipped with bathrooms and parking, this is Liberty Lake’s best access point to the Centennial Trail. From this spot, explorers can follow the trail for 33 miles to the west to Nine Mile Falls and 27 miles east to Higgens Point on Lake Coeur d’Alene.

Liberty Lake County Park Location: Stretching from the southeast shore of Liberty Lake deep into the sur-rounding mountains. The park entrance is at 3707 S. Zephyr Road. Description: A 2,983-acre treasure, the park offers myriad recreational oppor-tunities for its $2 entry fee (includes tax, children under 6 are free; $50 family season pass available), including: Camping: From May 26 to Sept. 15, the park’s 22 RV sites ($24/night, including admission for four) and 12 tent sites ($18/night, including admission for four) are available on a first-come, first-served basis. RV sites include water and power

hookups only; the park has a central waste station for disposal of sewage.ORV Park: A 350-acre off-road vehicle park is adjacent to the county park. Boasting 16 miles of trails, it features terrain for all skill levels of ATV and mo-torcycle riders. There is a 1,000-pound ATV limit, and no automobiles or trucks are allowed. Picnics and Playground: A new play-ground, grassy fields and lots of picnic areas are available for recreational use. Shelters are also available to rent for events and parties.

Swimming: A large sandy beach and dock are open for swimming in Liberty Lake, with lifeguards on duty May 26 to Sept. 5 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather depending. Trails: Exploring by trail is the only way to crack the surface of this massive park. A popular 7-mile loop is known for a moderately challenging section of switchbacks, bald eagle sightings and the 35-foot waterfall at the top. Trails for mountain biking and equestrian riding run throughout the park. Wildlife sight-ings include deer, cougar, moose, elk, bear, hawk and eagle. In the spring and early summer, wildflowers are a com-mon sight as well (see page at LEFT). Little Bear Park

Location: On the corner of Garry and Broadway in The Gardens neighbor-hood just east of Trailhead Golf CourseDescription: At 0.3 acres Liberty Lake’s smallest “pocket park,” Little Bear Park features a playground area and halfcourt basketball. You’ll know you’ve found the entrance when you see the statues of – you guessed it – little bears.

Pavillion Park Location: On the corner of Molter Road and Country Vista Drive in the heart of Liberty Lake

Description: This 14-acre park is seem-ingly always alive with activity. Note-worthy for its natural amphitheater that plays host to the concerts and most events in the Friends of Pavillion Park Summer Festival Series, Pavillion Park is home to many other popular attractions. The spray park next to the playground is a summer hit with children of all ages, while basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis and even roller hockey are common sights at the park. Named after a popular dance pavilion on the lake, a model of the original doubles as a stage and large picnic shelter as the centerpiece of the park. In recent years, a disc golf course and skate park have been added.Pumphouse Park

Location: Corner of Boone and Simpson east of Liberty Lake Elementary SchoolDescription: Designed around a well house building maintained on site, this 0.4-acre pocket park features a play-ground and halfcourt basketball. Rocky Hill Park

Location: In northeast Liberty Lake on the corner of Mission and WinrockDescription: Liberty Lake’s newest park will feature 14 acres of open space as the second phase is completed as expected in 2010. Already boasting a basketball court, 5-acre field and its namesake rocky outcropping, a pair of tennis courts, a picnic area, restrooms and a community garden are planned to be in place by the fall.

From late February into the early summer, one of the major pulls of the park are its wildflowers.“The flowers come in waves,” he said. “First buttercups, grassy widows and day lilies. Next trillium, water-leaf, shooting stars, skunk cabbage, woodland stars, spring beauties and leopard lilies (aka Chocolate lilies). The final round begins with larkspur, Solomon’s seal, violets, columbine, clematis, honeysuckle and monk’s hood. June has its specials with the mountain lady slippers, mariposas and wild iris.”Andre’s favorites are the trillium and sagebrush mariposa.

“They’re all beautiful; the colors are supersaturated, the forms are arcs of serene design,” he said. “What’s not to like unless you’re allergic?”

Clockwise from right:Yellow Salsify, Thistle, Side-Flowered Miterwort, Calypso Orchid, Trillium, Forget Me Not and Sagebrush Mariposa Lilly.

CVSD board prepares for budgeting process

Superintendent Ben Small addressed the Central Valley School District Board of Directors on Monday to review the budgeting process and prepare for the approaching budgeting session.

As the state government draws closer to finalizing a budget for education, CVSD is keeping a close eye on proposed budgets from the governor and state House of Representatives. The state Sen-ate’s proposed budget was released Tues-day evening.

In order to guide school board deci-sions on cuts, Small asked the board to revisit an executive summary with struc-tured input from the CVSD community and staff, prioritizing specific expenses.

Small also asked the board to hold a budgeting workshop at the next regular meeting on April 25. The district’s dead-line for finalizing the 2011-2012 budget is May 15.

Taxes due on MondayTaxpayers have an extra weekend to

file this year because of a District of Co-lumbia holiday. The deadline to file 2011 taxes is Monday instead of the typical April 15.

For more information, go to www.irs.gov.

Run benefits CVSD studentsMore than 150 runners are expected

to participate in the second annual 5K HEART Run at 9 a.m. Saturday at Uni-versity High School, 12420 E. 32nd Ave. in Spokane Valley.

Proceeds from the run will support the Central Valley HEART in Hand Out-reach program for students and their families who find themselves in tempo-rary or transitional housing. Sponsored by the Central Valley PTA Council, the HEART in Hand Outreach program has helped families obtain permanent hous-ing, pay for rental unit storage, transpor-tation and heating costs and holiday gifts and meals. The program has also funded student participation in after-school ac-tivities.

“We are excited to build on the mo-mentum of last year’s run to continue making a difference in our community,” said event co-organizer Rondielle Frye. “It has been so rewarding to help families in need right here in Central Valley.”

Registration begins at 8 a.m. Parking is available in the east parking lot with check in at the concessions stand near the track. The entry fee is $20 in a variety of age and participation divisions includ-ing running, walking, stroller and wheel-chair.

grades, and it’s a two-year term. Students can apply anytime, and all the information is on the city’s website. Elections for the (youth commission) board are usually in October. It gives everyone a chance to take the reigns. Penny (Zhang) is currently the vice chair.

Q: How are officers selected?A: Zhang: The entire group of members

gets together, and potential officers give a speech on what they would like to do for next term. Then we put our names in and vote.

Q: Do certain adults serve as liaisons or leaders of the group?

A: Zhang: Of course, the mayor and Mi-chelle (Griffin, city recreation coordinator). Tracy Rebstock (librarian at Liberty Lake Municipal Library) also helps out. I think one of the best things is that the group is youth led and there are advisors who give us suggestions. Ultimately, when it comes to voting, it’s the youth members who make the decisions.

Q: Talk about some of the events the commission has been involved with.

A: Shaarbaf: The All Fools’ Hunt, the li-brary’s Halloween Party, Battle of the Bands, and manning the auction items at the Holi-day Ball, to name a few. We also help with the movies and concerts at the park.

Zhang: Whenever somebody needs help,

we jump in. Van Orman: The group has their fingers

in most events in Liberty Lake. They ran games at Liberty Lake Days last year and also helped at the city’s tree-lighting cer-emony. If I wrote everything they did on a piece of paper, it would probably be filled up. These guys are amazing.

Q: I heard that you’ve volunteered with the Ronald McDonald House, Habitat for Humanity and Second Harvest Food Bank. How do you decide which charities to help out?

A: Shaarbaf: Usually someone in the youth commission will suggest an organi-zation, but sometimes we’ll get suggestions from outside.

Zhang: Earlier in the year, every member was supposed to bring three ideas about activities and things they want to volunteer for. We brainstormed off that list.

Q: So what are the group’s plans for this year?

A: Zhang: This year we’re donating pro-ceeds from the All Fools’ Hunt to Cross-walk, a shelter for homeless teens. This summer we plan to help out at the park events with Kiwanis, and we’re consider-ing doing a skate park competition as well as an Amazing Race that would be oriented around Liberty Lake and its history. We’re

A: Zhang: Last year we had a couple hun-dred. This year we’re hoping for the same. Even when the weather is terrible, people still come.

Van Orman: When you’re up in Palenque Restaurant, it’s fun watching all these kids scrambling around trying to pick up eggs in the dark. It’s amazing to see kids come out when the snow or rain is coming down.

Q: Do the youth commission members get a chance to enjoy or participate in the All Fools’ Hunt?

A: Zhang: I’ve always wanted to but it would be a little unfair. (With a laugh,) I could hide a huge egg in a particular area and just not tell anyone.

Q: What have you learned since becom-ing a part of the group?

A: Shaarbaf: It takes a team to make something happen. We all work together.

Zhang: It’s the cheesy thing the people say, but it’s 100 percent true. As we’re stuff-ing those millions of eggs, it’s like one big family. It takes so much planning, but it’s worth it.

thinking about setting up a time capsule near City Hall and asking members of the community to put in letters and items in that will be opened up years later.

Van Orman: The group has also talked about finding out more from new candi-dates running for office and what they’re interested in for the youth of tomorrow. The group may put together a debate for the new candidates.

Q: Tell me more about the time capsule idea.

A: Van Orman: We’ve been doing re-search on time capsules and what would need to be put into them. This is the tenth year of the city becoming a city. It would be a nice coinciding time and we’ve considered placing it in the new arboretum. We can un-bury it 20 years from now and see what we thought.

Q: How can the community support the youth commission?

A: Zhang: Kiwanis has been super gener-ous with their donations and supported us in our events. Making donations is one way, but you can come to our events. You can ask us to do events or volunteer at other events. That’s what we’re all about.

Shaarbaf: The whole participation thing is huge. It will make Liberty Lake a stronger community.

Zhang: It would be nice to have more people get involved. Come to one of our meetings and sit in. It’s great to get input from people.

Q: Tell me more about the All Fools’ Hunt coming up on April 23.

A: Zhang: This is the fifth year of doing it. Overall, I feel like we get better each year with the organization. Stuffing the eggs is always crazy. We have great prizes, but our prizes change based on what businesses donate. We keep the event pretty much the same because the kids like it. It’s successful.

Q: How many kids typically partici-pate?

Liberty Lake’s new home décor and children’s boutique, Lollipop Lemondrop, opened Tuesday at 23129 E. Mission Ave., Suite A.

“We want to make it a little re-treat during the day for moms,” proprietor Kelsy McHenry said. “Our goal is to give a cute bou-tique atmosphere… I just want people to have a place to come and bring their coffee and maybe stay for a little while.”

McHenry opened the boutique with her partner Cindy Con-stance and friend Marissa Lewis. Store hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Products in the store feature items made and designed by local moms in the Inland Northwest as well as upscale resell items sold on a consignment basis.

“We’re very picky about the brands we chose and the quality of the items we keep in the store,” McHenry said.

Local designers include Mish-kaudi Jewelery, La Bumba Dia-pers, Posh Toppings, Jilly Beans, Liberty Lake Soap and Wee Wear by Whitney.

Special attention was paid to particulars of the store while keeping mothers in mind,

McHenry said. There is a play area for kids in the back of the store and space throughout to navigate strollers.

A conference room is also set aside for meetings. Starting April 20, a mothers’ group will meet ev-ery Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and starting April 21 a lactation con-sultant will meet with area moms each Thursday at 12:30 p.m. Cloth diaper classes are planned to start up soon on Saturdays.

As the store grows, McHenry said she’d like to offer more class-es and sponsor a playgroup. In the future, she’d like to also host birthday parties.

The boutique also features Ter-razzo Home, formerly located in Coeur d’Alene. Owner and op-erator Rebecca Starr relocated the business to be closer to her home in Liberty Lake.

A grand opening will be held May 14 with music, games and a Henna tattoo artist.

New boutique features local designers

Telect moves headquarters Telect moved its headquarters to 23321

E. Knox Ave., less than a mile from its pre-vious location on Madson Street, at the be-ginning of April.

With increased emphasis on advanced development and customer services, Telect's new facility is representative of the company's commitment to innovation within its industry, a press release said.

"Our new facility is dedicated to advance development of power management, tele-com and data center hardware and connec-tivity, as well as mobile device software and applications,” Vice President Paul Knight said.

According to the release, approximately 80 employees work at the Liberty Lake lo-cation. The company has other facilities in Plano, Texas and Guadalajara, Mexico.

Telect manufactures connectors, cables and other telecommunications equipment. For more information, go to telect.com.

Musician returns to Rockin’ BOlivia Brownlee is teaming up with folk

musician Jay Psaros this summer to bring a fresh twist on folk and roots music dur-ing their second national tour. The tour includes more than 30 shows in more than half of the 50 U.S. states.

Brownlee is the daughter of Scott and Pamela Brownlee, owners of the Rockin' B Ranch where Olivia has performed as part of the dinner show. An accomplished sing-er, songwriter, poet and storyteller, Olivia moved to Boston three years ago to pursue a master's degree in theater education at Emerson College.

Brownlee and Psaros are scheduled to perform June 24 and 26 at Rockin’ B Ranch, 3912 N. Spokane Bridge Road, as part of the tour.

The Central Valley High School base-ball team dropped two league games by losing to Gonzaga Prep 15-8 and Shadle Park 4-1. Against Gonzaga Prep the Bears were done in by two big innings as the Bullpups put six runs on the board in the third and seventh innings. The Bears of-fense was led by Liberty Lake resident

Trevor Cook who knocked out four hits and Sean Howard who had three hits in-cluding a double.

The Bears pitching was stronger against Shadle Park as they gave up only four runs on eight hits. The offense struggled to duplicate their success against Gonzaga Prep as they managed only a lone run and hit against the Highlanders.

About the Opinion Page

Bryan Jarrett, owner of Farmers Insur-ance, and I were having lunch recently and discussing the need for an organiza-tion of Liberty Lake business owners with a mission to increase awareness of what Liberty Lake businesses have to offer.

Having participated in various business referral groups in the past, we understood the value of these types of organizations. With few exceptions, members in these types of referral groups get new business quickly that makes the time commitment and financial costs more than pay for it-self.

We decided to form a group called the Liberty Lake Merchants Association. Our initial contact with approximately 10 other Liberty Lake business owners was extremely positive, and we had an initial group meeting on March 22.

At that meeting we decided on a format for future meetings, a membership appli-cation process, dues and group leadership, and also refined the purpose of our meet-

ings. We decided to keep dues low at $100 per year plus a one-time application fee of $25. This is a great deal compared to simi-lar groups with dues that are more than triple ours.

Our main goal is to support and refer business to local merchants and compa-nies in an effort to keep business in Liber-ty Lake. We will accomplish this through attending weekly meetings where we spotlight local business members, pass-ing referrals, participating in community events and advertising our members in various media sources like The Splash as well as on our website. We plan to support and participate in business-related issues with the Liberty Lake City Council by rep-resenting our local merchants’ opinions and ideas.

All Liberty Lake business owners are invited to attend our weekly meetings scheduled each Tuesday from 7 to 8 a.m. in suite 116 of the TierPoint building, 23403 E. Mission. Doors open at 6:30 a.m. for open networking prior to the meeting, and refreshments will be served. For ad-ditional information, call 590-4184.

Some of the questions have to do with wondering about Splash policies and proce-dures, some seem to be basic Liberty Lake trivia and others are community questions that don't seem to find their way into a nor-mal news story. In the past, we've done our best to answer these on an individual basis. Moving forward, we plan to answer some of these questions with a short blip like this one on the opinion page.
