Spokane Valley Heritage Museum celebrating its 100-year-old building todayBy Valerie PutnamSplaSh Contributor
“We’re a small museum, but have a big vision.”
This is the mantra of Spokane Valley Heritage Museum Director Jayne Single-ton, who understands the potential of the museum exceeds its limitations.
“There is nothing we don’t undertake,” Singleton said. “Size doesn’t limit us.”
Officially opening its doors in August 2005, Singleton got the idea to start a mu-seum while planning the Valley Chamber of Commerce 80th anniversary in 1999.
“I thought showcasing the Valley’s his-tory would be a good focus for the event,” said Singleton, who worked for the Cham-ber at the time.
She soon discovered, though, there wasn’t any repository or much history available.
“I just couldn’t believe there wasn’t a museum here in the Valley,” said Single-ton, who was raised with a strong sense of her family’s history. “There wasn’t one place to go. I thought that wasn’t right.”
In 2000, she took a leap of faith. Sin-

gleton quit her job at the Chamber and worked full time to set up the legal struc-ture for a nonprofit historical organization with the mission of collecting, preserving and exhibiting the history of the Spokane Valley.
Her understanding of the Valley’s his-tory came by researching, reading, visiting significant sites and talking to people.

sprinkler blowout and water quality
Before you blow out your sprinkler system this fall, remember that we are all relying on you to help keep our drinking water clean. Once water enters your irrigation system it can become contaminated with lawn chemicals and bacteria. If your sprinkler system doesn’t have adequate backflow protection, blowing out the system may push this contaminated water back into your home’s water supply. For more information, a list of certified backflow assembly testers, or to learn if your system has backflow protection contact Larry White at 922-5443 ext.228.
For more information or would want to report a cyanobacteria bloom and have it tested, please call BiJay Adams at (509) 922-5443 ext 30

HUB turns 5, turning the corner
“We want the HUB to be a permanent resource for this community, not something that people are worried
about or wondering, ‘Well, how long are they going to be here?’ You all are invited to our 10-year anniversary.
Put it on your calendar now. We’ll be here.”— exeCuTIVe dIreCTOr pHIL CHAMpLIn
Sports facility in position to now focus on outreach By Josh JohnsonSplaSh Staff Writer
When Phil Champlin took the reins of the HUB Sports Center early in 2010, the building the nonprofit leased was about to go back up for sale, and the cities of Liberty Lake and Spokane Valley were being courted as potential owners.
Built as Sports USA in 2004, the facility never was able to find its footing and eventually closed down. In 2007, a group of com-munity leaders led by a local pas-tor, Ian Robertson, came in to give it another shot, but efforts to cover operating expenses, let alone a rent and eventual pur-chase of the building, were a con-stant struggle.
Enter Champlin.“When I came in, the charge
was, ‘We want this to be a full-time facility. You’ve got six months to a year to let us know, ‘Can it work? Is it viable?’” Champlin said.
He immediately set out to fill the facility with events, work-ing with the board to obtain its commitment to remain open un-til summer 2011 to see what he could book. With that guarantee the doors would be open came growth, Champlin said.
“Because the sales pitch of, ‘Hey bring your event here and we may or may not be here in three or four months when you want to have you event,’ only gets me so far,” he said, adding lining up sponsors was difficult for the same reason.
“October of 2010 was the last time we got a capital infusion from our board,” Champlin said. “Since October 2010, we’ve been self sustaining. I’m very proud of that, and very appreciative to the board. There again, that’s another piece of the puzzle that enabled us to get here today. We had some really core people who believed in what we do and what the potential of this place is.”
Operating in the black has
caused Champlin’s relatively brief time with the HUB to rapidly shift through different mindsets.
“My tenure (starting out), it was survival,” he recalled. “How do we keep the lights on and the doors open? OK, now we have that dialed in, so what else can we do? So we started to run some of our own programs where we can do a tournament or a clinic or a league and try to fill in some of the gaps. Now, we are getting to do some outreach and have some kids on scholarship to spring break camp or summer camp. ... To be on solid footing that we can reach out, that’s my heart and the board’s heart of what their overall vision is for this place.”
Champlin said these types of events help attract more spon-sors and partners to feed a grow-ing economic engine.
“We’re not making money hand over fist, but we’re operat-ing in the black, starting to be able to do outreach, and we want to do more,” he said.
HUB 360 launchingOne of those outreach pieces
launching next month is called HUB 360, an after-school pro-gram aimed initially at Greena-cres Middle School students. The program provides a snack, men-toring, teaching and a physical activity from 3 to 6 p.m. on Tues-days and Thursdays.
HUB 360 is being coordinated with the Central Valley School District, and Superintendent Ben Small said the district’s location of its bus garage next door makes it easy to transport eligible stu-dents directly to the HUB after school.
“The one thing that we’re see-ing is that kids who are actively involved in their community, whether through after-school programs or youth sports, tend to do better,” said Small, who re-cently joined the HUB’s board of directors. “I think the HUB is a facility that, when utilized to tis fullest, can really give back to this community, and HUB 360 is another one of those opportu-nities we believe aligns with our mission and vision of providing services to children and building community.”
Champlin said interested
youth should speak to their school counselor, and volunteers who want to share a skill or men-tor students are encouraged to contact him at 927-0602.
The futureLiberty Lake Mayor Steve Pe-
terson remembers the original vision of the facility, and while he has seen it struggle, he credits Champlin with bringing the HUB to a place where its future is better secure as an asset to Liberty Lake
and surrounding communities. “Phil Champlin, I think, has
really, really brought that place to almost a full boil,” Peterson said. “They are getting their issues solved and have solid footing un-derneath them.”
He said the events the HUB attracts support hotels and help drive the local economy.
Champlin said the HUB is now secure in its lease, but a future capital campaign to purchase
the facility is likely. And he still dreams of the day when sur-rounding lots could be turned to ballfields, giving the facility even more year-round activity.
“We want the HUB to be a permanent resource for this community, not something that people are worried about or won-dering, ‘Well, how long are they going to be here?’” he said. “You all are invited to our 10-year an-niversary. Put it on your calendar now. We’ll be here.”

Budget discussion beginsBy Josh JohnsonSplaSh Staff Writer
With initial forecasts showing Liberty Lake in a “pretty good place” financially as the city gears up for its 2013 budget sea-son, city leaders offered initial glimpses of the discussions to come at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.
Finance Director RJ Stevenson present-ed a preliminary budget for 2013 based on staff projections of expenditures and revenue. The draft shows general fund revenue — essentially the city’s operating budget — of $5.43 million against $5.14 million in expenses. Anticipating some upcoming capital projects in 2013, includ-ing emptying out the $608,100 from the long-dormant Harvard Road Mitigation Fund to spend on a proposed roundabout at Harvard Road and Mission Avenue, the city is looking at spending roughly $7.47 million against $6.96 million in revenue.
Budget discussions will more formally launch when Mayor Steve Peterson pres-ents his proposed budget on Oct. 16, but Council members shared some initial feedback that may shed light on future dis-cussion, including topics such as the utility tax and spending philosophies.
“It appears that next year is when we start spending more than what we collect,” Council Member Josh Beckett said of the declining overall ending fund balance.
City Administrator Katy Allen pointed to the city’s relative financial health as compared to many other municipalities in the state as one reason the city may be in a position to spend down some accrued cap-ital fund balances on upcoming projects.
“We still want to be very conservative in our revenue projections, we still want to be very disciplined in our expenditures, but this is a pretty good budget, and I think we should all just acknowledge that we’re in a pretty good place here in Liberty Lake,” Allen said.
Council Member Cris Kaminskas re-sponded by reminding the city about the utility tax implemented during a budget crunch in 2011 at a full 6 percent rate, then reduced to 3 percent for 2012.
“If we are in a ‘pretty good place,’ have we looked at taking away the utility tax to keep spending down?” she said. “... Instead of increasing our spending, shouldn’t we be looking at keeping our spending even and maybe possibly giving some of that back to our citizens?”
Stevenson called it “a great discussion we’re going to have in this budget process.” He said the utility tax was passed with a dual purpose, both getting through tough times and responding to infrastructure needs.
Library, speed measures passThe City Council unanimously passed
Ordinance No. 202, which increases the speed limit to 45 mph on Country Vista Drive from Henry Road west to the city limits of Spokane Valley.
Included in the city’s consent agenda, also passed unanimously, was a reciprocal agreement to allow city residents to get li-brary cards from the Spokane County Li-brary District. The SCLD board was also expected to pass the agreement Tuesday. An appointment of Ashley Salzwedel to the Planning Commission was also approved.

Timing of event lands 80 years after visit from ‘Rubber Royalty’froM Staff reportS
An automobile event held Friday near the shores of Liberty Lake recalled one held on the same spot 80 years prior.
Members of the North Cascades Chap-ter of the Buick Club of America gathered at the Wicomico Beach-area home of Ja-mie and Jackie Wolff to enjoy Veraci Pizza, old music and even older cars. About 100 club members and friends filled the Wolff ’s backyard to enjoy the stop before over-nighting at Templin’s in Post Falls and con-tinuing their tour with stops in North Idaho on Saturday.
Eighty years ago, the Wolff ’s property was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Milton T. McGold-

rick, who hosted an event called “Rubber Royalty.” McGoldrick was the controlling owner of McGoldrick-Sanderson Co. in Spokane, a Firestone Tire dealership, at the time, and the event was held to host two sons of Harvey Firestone, the founder of Firestone Tire Co., Liberty Lake Historical Society President Ross Schneidmiller said. Leonard Firestone was on an inspection tour of the company’s stores in the Pacific Coast states. Having finished his junior year at Princeton, Raymond Firestone had just flown in to join his older brother for the trip home when they received the invita-tion to the lake — which, most likely would have included a ride in one of the beautiful mahogany boats the McGoldricks were well known for, Schneidmiller said.
“This historical tie-in is most appropri-ate for this event, as a number of the au-tomobiles present would have originally come standard with Firestone Gum Dipped Tires,” Schneidmiller wrote The Splash about Friday’s event.
The Firestone brothers went on to great prominence in the Firestone Company. As head of the company for 13 years, Raymond increased annual sales from $1.4 billion to $3.9 billion. Leonard directed Firestone of California and later started a winery with his son. He is the grandfather of Andrew Firestone of ABC’s “The Bachelor.”

“I’m a self-appointed Valley historian,” laughed Singleton, who grew up in Re-dondo Beach, Calif. “I always say the Lord has a purpose for everyone, and he gave me an awesome one.”
With the help of Valley residents Chuck King and Lois Cunningham, the organization came together and began gathering historical artifacts.
She raised aware-ness and acquired financial support by making presenta-tions about the vi-sion of a museum throughout the community. Her presentations also generated volunteers and artifact and pho-to donations for display.
“Most everything you see in here has been donated,” Singleton said as she walked through the exhibits. “The com-munity and businesses have really em-braced the museum.”
Singleton’s choice of the Opportunity Township Hall for the museum’s location was easy.
“I identified this building as the most appropriate place to start because it was such a part of the Valley’s history,” Single-ton said. “It was the heart of the commu-nity.”
Built in 1912, the 100-year-old Spanish Colonial-style building has been a movie theatre and roller skating rink. It also has hosted wrestling matches and church meetings.
“Just about all the historic buildings in the Valley are gone,” Singleton said. “This one’s not going anywhere. We’ve become really good stewards of preserving this building.”
After acquiring the building in May 2004, cracks in the exterior walls were filled, plaster and broken windows re-paired and the entire surface painted. In-side, walls to provide exhibit areas were constructed and painted.
Renovation to the outside property be-gan more than a year ago with the installa-tion of fencing to protect the exhibits and landscaping donated by the Boy Scouts. Plans to build a smaller building on the south side of its property are under way for next spring.
Singleton oversees the exhibit design and uses the entire 4,000 square feet of the historic building.
“We want to tell a quality story in an en-gaging way,” Singleton said.
Floor-to-ceiling exhibits are sensory-driven. The current exhibit on the Titanic uses voice recordings as a means to aug-ment the visual display. Other displays use period music or scents. Interactive displays allow guests to place a phone call on a rotary phone, learn to ‘prime the pump’ using an old water pump outside
in the museum’s courtyard or watch toast brown in an old fashioned toaster.
The museum also provides visi-tors a look at the world outside of Valley history.
“We look at na-tionally and global-ly, what is our col-lective history and what do we want to exhibit to share, to inform, influence and inspire, under-
standing the role history and historical events have played in our lives,” Single-ton said.
In 2006, it was one of six museums in Washington state to display the traveling Smithsonian exhibit, “Between Fences,” an exhibit about the role of fences in American culture.
An exhibit showcasing the Spokane River is tentatively scheduled to open in March. It will focus on the river’s role in the culture and development of our re-gion, as well as its history as transporta-tion and as a source of irrigation.
“It’s a fabulous resource,” Singleton said. “The river is like blood in a sense of this living Valley.”
Singleton said the entire center of the museum will change next year with the new display.
An outside irrigation exhibit is also scheduled to open next year as part of de-veloping the approximately 11,000 square feet on the south side of the property.
Singleton also plans to install historic markers on specific properties through-out the valley.
“There’s always something happening here,” Singleton said. “Every day I get up excited about what’s going to happen to-day.”
Earlier this year, Singleton launched a museum archives web site, www.spokan-evalleyarchives.org. The site gives access to more than 150 years of history, includ-ing past Valley Herald newspapers from 1920 to 1983.
According to Singleton, the museum is growing rapidly, and she plans to grow with it for years to come.
“I’ve chosen passion over paycheck. It’s a very full life,” Singleton said. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

Second RIM ride a successThe Liberty Lake Centennial Rotary
Club would like to thank everyone who participated in the second annual Ro-tary in Motion (RIM) ride. We especially would like to thank all of the volunteers for their help and support to make this event a success.
Volunteers included the Christian Mo-torcycle Club, the Bike Hub, Wheel Sport, Liberty Lake SCOPE, Nancy and Sam Brubaker and all of our Rotarians. Mo-mentum Ink printed our very cool long sleeve T-shirts. The Liberty Lake Quiznos sandwiches were enjoyed by everyone. We appreciate the support from our ma-jor sponsors, including Washington Trust Bank, Greenstone, Meadowwood Tech-nology Campus, Safeway, Liberty Closing & Escrow, Vista Window Cleaning, Moun-tain Dog Sign Company, The Kitchen En-gine, State Farm, Starr & Brown and As-sociated Industries.
This year’s RIM ride was held on Sunday. The Liberty Lake Rotary Club was thrilled to have nearly 200 riders participate. The riders had a choice of doing the 5-mile family ride, 15, 25, 50 or 100-mile routes. Each route had supported rest stops with great snacks provided by Safeway. We had 30 riders complete the 100-mile challenge ride and 70 riders completed the 50-mile scenic ride around Hauser and Newman lakes. The proceeds from this year’s ride will benefit the Liberty Lake Rotary Club, including various projects in our local Lib-erty Lake Community.
