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,

her yeoman’s job

organzing the 2013

ChalkArtWalk


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

[email protected] 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.

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.

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

truly unique talent that is proving to be a

powerful

force in the American music scene" Mi-

chael Cosentino of Direct Point Manage-

ment.

Sammy and the band have won multiple

awards and recognitions ranging from

the Inland Empire Blues Societies’ Em-

pire Award for “Best Male Vocalist” to

the Inlander Magazines reader voted

“Best Local Musician” award for 2007

and 2011. The band was awarded "Best

Local Band Originals" for 2012 from the

Inlander Magazine. His newest release

“Riding Alone” has drawn attention by

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

[email protected].

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.

Type in the web address or just search

video has nearly 9,000 views at this

point, let’s push it up over 10K!

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-

Hillyard’s History


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-

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

that many are able to relate to. Please

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.”
