Juggling jerseys and goals 17-year-old plays for Spokane Shine before joining Concordia team

By Chad Kimberley Splash staff writer

If Liberty Lake resident Ashley Ames ever decides to devote a room in her house to the soccer jerseys she has worn, it will have to be a large room.

The outgoing 17-year-old has already played high school ball for Gonzaga Prep, club soccer for Spokane Shadow and been part of the Idaho Olympic Developmental team. She ames is currently playing semi-professional soccer for the Spokane Shine and in the fall will be playing college soccer at Concordia University.

Ames took a few moments from her busy soccer schedule to answer some questions from The Splash about playing for so many different teams, what she loves about soccer and her pick for the Women’s World Cup championship.

Q. A.

I started playing when I was around 4 or 5 years old. I needed something to do, and when ballet didn’t work, soccer was next in line. I loved it right from the start.

Q: What is one of your favorite memories from your career at Gonzaga Prep?

A: One of my favorite memories was being initiated by the seniors with my fellow underclassmen. They dressed us all up in crazy outfits and had us run a blindfolded 100-meter race. We also got the chance to really bond as a team, which is one of my best memories.

Q: What were some of your personal accomplishments at G-Prep?

A: My sophomore year I was second team all-GSL (Greater Spokane League) and the second leading goal scorer in the GSL. My junior year I was first team all-

Favorite activity besides soccer I love wakeboarding!

Favorite vacation spot Maui, Hawaii

What I love about Liberty Lake It is a close community. Also going wake boarding and tubing all the time.

Motto As long as we have the will to walk, God is pleased with our stumbles.

GSL, and senior year I was first team allGSL and team captain.

Q: You also played club soccer. What is the difference between high school and club?

A: There is a huge difference between club soccer and high school soccer. Club soccer is much more disciplined and serious. While it is still fun, it requires a lot of dedication and hard work. Club ball is what will prepare you for the next level of college soccer.

Q: What are your post-high school plans for soccer and school?

A: I will be attending Concordia University in Portland to play soccer and possibly major in education.

Q: How did you land at Concordia?

A: Grant Landy, the head coach, came to watch me play in Portland one time.

The summary judgment, ordered June 29, cleared up questions of legality brought forth during the appeal hearing.

The board is still considering whether the trees were within the 50 feet of the ordinary high mark of the lake and the reasonableness of the penalty. A written decision on the final issues is expected in the coming weeks.

Council plans for city’s 10-year anniversary Celebration to possibly include history display, gathering of founders

By Kelly Moore Splash Staff Writer

If you would like to donate, but need assistance with pick-up, our van will be available on the following dates: Thursday, June 30th 10 a.m. – noon Thursday, July 7th 10 a.m. – noon If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call 924.4388.

In a meeting Tuesday evening, Council members discussed plans to celebrate the 10th year of Liberty Lake being a city this Labor Day. “I think this is a time when all of our hands should be on deck,” Mayor Wendy Van Orman said. “I’ve got a few things up my sleeve, but I’d really like to see the Council’s perspective for what they’d like to see happen for that day.”

Council members suggested gathering past Council members together for the event and finding a way to involve local businesses. Mayor Pro Tem David Crump suggested a display of the city’s history and possibly presenting a plaque honoring the founders. He also noted that the city always runs out of cake too soon at the annual celebration.

Van Orman also reminded Council members about a time capsule filled with drawings from Liberty Lake Elementary School first graders ready to be planted at the event.

Before moving on, Crump, and Council Members Judi Owens and Ryan Romney

www.jeaseniorliving.com

(509) 924-4388

agreed to join Van Orman on a committee to plan the celebration.

As the meeting moved on, Council members approved a recommendation from Liberty Lake’s hearing examiner for Greenstone’s Rocky Hill North preliminary plat, but only after extensive discussion regarding the absence of pocket parks in presented concept design. As presented, the 317-lot development just north of the current Rocky Hill development has no designated park space.

Romney also expressed concern over building out without proper infrastructure, namely school capacity, to support incoming families. Other Council members agreed with the concerns, but noted that the hearing examiner’s job was to make sure the development adhered to the city’s planning codes and regulations, and the Council had no legal reason to deny the recommendation.

During public comment, Greenstone’s Drew Benado told the Council pocket parks are rarely planned this early in the planning process, and he expects to see them added eventually.

In other business: • The Council awarded a road maintenance bid to Poe Asphalt Paving Inc. for $127,313.52. Council Member Cris Kaminskas said the Community Development Committee met and reviewed the bids, which came in lower than expected.

LLCT gears up for summer lineup

By Kelly Moore

Splash Staff Writer

The Liberty Lake Community Theatre has cast the summer children’s performance and rehearsals are well under way for the one-weekend-only performance of “Miss Nelson is Missing.”

Show times will be July 30 at 1 and 4 p.m. and July 31 at 2 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door.

12009 E. Mission Ave. • Spokane Valley, WA 99206

The play features Miss Nelson’s class, an unruly bunch that sends their gentle, long-suffering teacher over the edge.

When she turns up missing for school, the students are in for a rude awakening when Viola Swamp, a mean and scary substitute, shows up to fill in. In desperation, the students set out to find their beloved Miss Nelson while learning lessons in appreciation and respect along the way.

“There’s lots of interaction with the kids in the classroom, and it’s really a fun pro-

duction,” LLCT volunteer Vicki Weaver said.

The performance is directed by Ken Boles and produced by Jennifer Ophardt at the outdoor amphitheater located at the Meadowwood Technology Campus.

The group changed venues earlier this year, but Weaver said they are still looking for a more permanent housing option.

In the meantime, auditions for a new improv comedy group will be held at City Hall July 14 at 6:30 p.m. and July 16 at 1 p.m. with performances to be scheduled once the group is officially formed.

The murder-mystery dinner and silent auction “Silence is Golden” will be held at CenterPlace Regional Event Center in Spokane Valley Aug. 19. Tickets for the fundraiser are $30 and are available by calling 342-2055.

Directors are still being sought for future performances. For more information, visit www.libertylaketheatre.com.

SNAPSHOT OF THE FOURTH: A perfect night in the park The field at Pavillion Park was full of activity and anticipation Saturday evening.

Kids with sun-kissed faces ran to greet friends they hadn’t seen since school let out a couple weeks ago. Neighbors boasted of their day’s adventures - boating, completing yard projects and simply enjoying one of the first sunny days of the season.

The aroma of popcorn filled the air, and the evening temperature was warm enough to enjoy a snow cone instead of hot chocolate from the Kiwanis concession stand.

After a long day of mingling with friends at the Farmers Market, swimming in the lake and planning our July 4 parade float,

it was time for our family to rest and enjoy the first outdoor movie of season.

Darkness fell and the night was momentarily lit up by glow sticks and flashes from cameras capturing the evening’s moments. Our girls cuddled underneath blankets, munching on treats and giggling with friends, while our 4-year-old son gave way to sleep before the show even began.

Kiwanis member Linda Dockrey serves snow cones to a moviegoer Saturday at the showing of the “The Lion King,” the first event in the Friends of Pavillion Park 2011 summer festival.

While the crowd settled in and the movie started playing on the big screen, there was a collective feel among those in the park that night — summer had finally arrived.

— Tammy Kimberley

Golf carts were the parade vehicle of choice in the Fourth of July parade, many of which were packed with family and friends.

Below, 2011 Grand Marshals Barbara and Bob Gamble pose after the parade.

As the parade route turned left onto Liberty Circle, the Holmes family float drove into an ambush made for an action film.

Sudden crossing of pedestrians.

Golf cart jerks to stop. Shirtless young men in peripheral. Oh no, they’re armed! Syringe-triggered water bazookas brandished. The street’s still blocked!

And then time freezes as Mom spots Son doing the unthinkable: A water pistol — the metaphorical knife brought to a gun fight — unloads a single squirt in danger’s direction.

“Justin, nooooo!” Jennifer

Holmes shouts.

They were her last words before impact. Retaliatory blasts strike in waves. Finally, street clears. Dad slams on gas. Family whisks out of range.

With the safety of Alpine Drive beckoning on the horizon, the Holmes clan takes stock. Evidence of the carnage drips everywhere, but all five riders are accounted for. And the family’s spirits? Well, that’s the true Fourth of July salute. They were as high as the driest of times.

Showing up a half hour early still made for a fair hike into the parade route from the first available parking spot. I took my time and followed two little girls wearing matching red tutus. After they dropped off to sit in the shade, I found my way to the starting area for a sneak peak at this year’s lineup — mostly golf carts, bikes and a few karate kids.

The giant blow-up Statue of Liberty was just going up, and everyone seemed eager to get moving.

Boy Scouts led the flag just ahead of this year’s grand marshals, Bob and Barbara Gamble.

With so many kids chasing down candy in the street, it was hard to tell exactly where the crowd ended and the parade started —

except for when the cart handing out popsicles came around and everyone quickly formed a receiving line. Those who missed out on one of the cold freebies were able to grab snow cones and ice cream in the park when the parade ended.

No one wasted time getting the kids’ games in the park started after the parade. The just-for-fun attitude of organizers allowed for plenty of tug-o-war rematches and kindly called back kids who jumped the gun in the sack races.

When the announcer realized the kids had started the pie-eating contest ahead of schedule, someone was heard yelling, “I know!

They just started eating them!”

Joking that they thought they should play a country song but didn’t know any, band members invited some young Taylor Swift fans to the stage to belt out the country star’s hit, “You Belong with Me.” While a group of girls performed behind the mics, dozens of youngsters pranced and danced along the steps leading up to the stage.

A howling good time Church hosts canine carnival, pet blessing at Pavillion Park

By Julia Marquiss Splash Intern

If the grass in the fields of Pavillion Park could speak, it would tell amazing stories of late-night movies in the park, sunscreened kids running through sprinklers and sweaty pick-up games of basketball.

This weekend it will be able tell a story of paws and bad breath, prizes and competitions and the celebration of love between man and his best friend.

On Saturday, the second annual Canine Carnival and Pet Blessing will be held 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Pavillion Park. Hosted by Summit Northwest Ministries, the event will feature presentations, competitions, food, raffles and a pet blessing for pets and their owners.

Head Pastor Ron Hessel said pet blessings are traditionally held around Oct. 4, because it is the Feast Day for the patron saint of animals, St. Francis of Assisi. But he said the church decided to hold the

seemed like a great coach and a great person. He told me all about the school and soccer program and that totally sparked my interest.

After two visits and a little bit of a thought process, I came to the conclusion that Concordia was perfect for me. It is a small school, it is in Portland (my favorite place ever) and it is a Christian school, which was very important to me. And they have an amazing soccer program.

Q: You also currently play for the Spokane Shine. Explain to our readers who they are.

A: The Spokane Shine is a women’s semiprofessional soccer team coached by Jason Quintero. The team has many talented players consisting mainly of players in college or players who have already graduated college. It is a great way for me to prepare myself for college.

Q: How did you get connected to the team?

A: Jason, the head coach, texted me asking me to come train with the team to see what it was all about. Soon after that

event in the summer due to a crowded fall schedule of events and unpredictability of fall weather.

The pet blessing will occur first thing in the morning on the south side of the pavilion to provide shade for pets and owners.

“We keep the pet blessing pretty simple,” Hessel said. “We have a short prayer that we say for our pets. We encourage the owners to repeat after us, so that they are really blessing their own pets.”

Hessel said a competition or presentation is scheduled every 15 minutes at different locations throughout the park. Free donuts will be available from 8 to 9 a.m., and free hotdogs will be provided from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Soda is available for a small fee, and all proceeds will be donated to local animal shelters.

In addition, face painting, a bounce house, pet photography, a bathing station and an artist drawing pet and owner caricatures will be available. Tickets are necessary for these activities, Hessel said, and can be purchased with dog food or money.

Last year marked the first carnival and pet blessing, and Hessel said around 600 people and 100 pets attended to experience the wide range of activities. Even though Hessel said the group got a late start in planning last year’s event, they raised around $50 and had some donations of dog food.

This year, Hessel said businesses are sponsoring the event and with the several raffles and activities, the event is hoping to raise several hundreds of dollars. All

money from concession sales, raffles and activities will go directly to pet shelters.

Competitions last year were held for everything from the smallest dog to the worst breath, Hessel said.

“I was the judge for that,” he said. “(I had) lots of fun on that one.”

There will be several opportunities for winning prizes in competitions such as the longest, shortest and curliest pet tails and the “Canine Idol” vocal competition.

Popular events from last year, such as the agility course and the look-a-like competition, have also been expanded.

The canine dancing troupe Ruff Revue will be performing and teaching those owners willing to learn more about dancing with their pets.

“It takes a lot of patience and work on the part of the dogs to get their owners to do it right,” Hessel said.

Besides the participatory events, educational seminars will be held throughout the morning.

“We are more mindful that we are dealing with life and death issues,” says Hessel, “and not just providing a good time.”

The Humane Evacuation of Animals Rescue Team, also known as HEART, will be teaching ways to protect pets from a variety of situations. Light House for the Blind, an industry that gives jobs to sight-impaired individuals, will be giving a demonstration on seeing-eye dogs and answering questions about what it’s like to be blind.

A: Kristine Lilly, No. 13. She has always been my favorite. I just love the way she plays. I met her once when I lived in North Carolina, and she was very kind.

A: Of course! I think Germany has a pretty good chance this year. They have a very good team and are playing on their home turf. It will be interesting.

Neyland’s Grove operated for 40 years at the northwest corner of Liberty Lake (see location on postcard image above) under the leadership of Daniel Neyland and his descendants. The resort rented out 20 cabins, such as the ones pictured at left.

Grove helped establish Neyland family’s LL roots

By Ross Schneidmiller Liberty Lake Historical Society

In 1902, at the age of 53, Daniel Neyland sold his farm in Franklin Township, Penn., and moved his wife, Louisa, and their two youngest sons out west. He purchased 17 acres of land at the northwest corner of Liberty Lake. A portion of this land was the former Lake Loomis and was very fertile. Daniel built a general store bearing his name. Daniel’s great-granddaughter and current Liberty Lake resident, Mary Floy Dolphin, does not know why he happened to settle here, but she is grateful since seven generations of their family have enjoyed the lake.

Located on the northwest side of Liberty Lake, the D.A. Neyland Store was more accessible to the community at large than the store at Kalez Park. It would have been typical of a country store of that era and most likely sold everything a farming family needed. At a country store, one could find groceries and staples, hardware, medical supplies, laundry goods, sewing provisions, toys, tobacco and candy. It also was a place for socializing, and one might have enjoyed a game of checkers. Yet it would have been unique in that it rented boats and stocked more items for fishing and other lake activities.

In 1904, Neyland’s son, Gage, who had come out west five years earlier, moved to Liberty Lake along with his wife, Floy, and family. Gage must have been a great help to his father having been in the grocery business in Davenport, Wash. In 1907, a resort evolved as 20 cabins of different sizes and rooms were built. Carolina poplars, a fastgrowing shade tree that could grow six feet a season, were planted in the nutrient-rich Lake Loomis lakebed. A well was drilled, securing a good supply of water, and the new resort greeted campers with the name “Neyland’s Grove.”

neyland’s grove Description A resort that evolved out of the original D.A. Neyland Store (below), Neyland’s Grove boasted 20 cabins, boat rentals and a confectionary.

What’s there today?

The 17 acres originally purchased by Daniel Neyland in 1902 is now the Liberty Lake Village development located where Molter meets Inlet on the northwest corner of the lake.

Did you know

• Current resident Lyle Stephenson was born in the “Liberty Cabin” at Neyland’s Grove in 1916.

• Lake Loomis, referenced in this story, was a small body of water on the northwest corner of the lake that was drained when the Spokane Valley Irrigation Co. built a ditch to provide irrigation to Greenacres.

The resort had a stand called a confectionary that sold candy and soda items as well as a café. Boats were rented, but the primary source of income were the cabins and house tents. Mary Floy recalls that all the cabins were named. They had fun names like Tarry-A-Bit, Goldenrod and Tune Inn. Daniel died in 1913, and the general store closed a few years later. Canned goods and other grocery items were sold out of the stand, but the sales were primarily to the resort’s campers and not the community at large. According to his

nephew, current Liberty Lake resident Lyle Stephenson, Gage Neyland was the main force in the Grove’s success. It is believed Daniel’s other three sons had some form of ownership. Gage was progressive and updated the cabins as time allowed.

When Watson Boat Company introduced the “Kan’t-Sink-Em” line, the Grove was the first resort at Liberty Lake to receive shipment. Gage was more than a grocer and resort owner, he was an entrepreneur. In addition to the resort, he operated the telephone system at the lake. The Grove had a small farm supplying produce and milk to the resort. The excess milk was sold to the residents of Wicomico Beach, which was referred to as “down the line.”

The resort business was hard work with long days. Lyle Stephenson recalls getting up around 4:30 or 5 a.m. to feed all the animals, milk the cows and separate the milk. After breakfast, he would clean boats and cabins.

Mowing lawns and working in the produce fields took up the rest of the day, then it was night and time to feed and milk again.

In the wintertime, ice was cut from the lake in blocks and put in an icehouse stacked between layers of sawdust.

“I look back and say 12-inch thick ice was normal and almost 16-inch ice (was also common) on this lake,” Stephenson recalls. “… The ice blocks would be 100 pounds or more. The Neylands would put up a huge area of ice every winter, and that would run us all summer long. Every winter, I would be out there cutting ice and putting it up in the shed.”

The ice was primarily put in iceboxes to keep perishables cold, the same as using a refrigerator today. Each cabin at the Grove had an icebox dug into the ground.

The coolness of the soil helped for the ice to last longer. They put up additional ice to sell “down the line” where the summer residents lived.

In the late 1930s, the resort was split in two. Half the land and cabins continued to operate as Neyland’s Grove. The other half went to Gage’s brother, Grant, who started Wayside Resort in 1939. The Grove was sold in 1947 to Ted Weeks, who operated it for a few years under the original name before changing it to his own.

Folk singers find they’re at home at Rockin’ B Recent concert showcased talents of Brownlee, Psaros Review by Randi Wilson Splash Intern

Some musicians make good recordings.

Others hold great live concerts. But it takes a special group to be able to do both.

On June 26, I was fortunate enough to see two different artists whose recordings were strong, but their performances showed me what real artists they are. I attended the homecoming concert for Olivia Brownlee, daughter of Scott and Pamela Brownlee, owners of the Rockin’ B Ranch, 3912 N. Spokane Bridge Road. She showcased her talents on a wide variety of instruments, including both classical and acoustic guitar, the djembe, harmonic and banjo. Jay Psaros, who played the acoustic guitar, is the other artist who joined Brownlee at the Rockin’ B. Together, the two have made their way across the country as rising independent folk artists who have begun to make a name

Olivia Brownlee and Jay Psaros performed June 26 at the Rockin’ B Ranch. for themselves — with good reason.

The Rockin’ B was a perfect venue for them. Not only did Brownlee feel right at home, but Psaros did a tour to Spokane last year and has played in the hall before. It also complimented their bluegrass folk music that they strummed out for the 90 minutes they graced the stage. The audience was extremely receptive, and Psaros commented on it being “very quiet,” perfect for his instrumental pieces.

“Other places you have to earn the attention,” Psaros said. Brownlee added, “It’s very humbling,” but it was clear that venues like the Rockin’ B is where they would rather perform.

First, Psaros gave a set on stage by himself, then he traded off with Brownlee and then they came together at the end with a few other musicians. But they both had to face the crowd alone on stage, unaccompanied. When I asked after the performance if this was ever a nerve-wracking experience, Psaros said that “as soon as I start playing” the nerves vanish. For Brownlee, once she

can get into the “mood and the stories of the song,” she’s able to let her performance and theatre background carry her into the music.

When Brownlee took the stage for her set, her parents introduced her, and both were glowing with pride. As her dad said, “It’s not every day that you get to introduce your own daughter.” They left her to perform on her own, showing off her range and dynamic lyrics.

The last part was a compilation of Brownlee and Psaros together, but even then they weren’t alone. They invited a few members up to the stage from the Rockin’ B Dinner Show cast to help them with a few numbers.

Drummer Gordon Grove added a little more rhythm to “Mountainridge,” even though their sense of time was tight from beginning to end of every piece. On another song, vocalist Sam Mazzola added a third harmony with Brownlee’s mother adding in to sing a ghostly soprano that floated above the trio on stage.

Throughout the show, the humor of both

artists shone as brightly as their musical talents. After every song, Psaros would tune his guitar, a tick he attributed to Brownlee, saying that she would berate him if he didn’t.

“As Olivia would say, tuning is like airplane maintenance; it’s always a good idea.”

And Brownlee showed her mastery of humor in her songwriting as well, such as with her brisk piece, “Hey You, We Need a Date, We Need It Now,” in which she poked fun at her own relationship neediness. She even broke down into a fake, tearful, “I’m fine,” before closing the song with the line, “I’m tired; can we do it tomorrow?”

While both are strong performers and humorists in their own right, it was clear that their individual strengths helped to create something different when they came together at the end.

“Jay is more instrumental than vocals; I’m the opposite,” Brownlee said.

Together, they were able to shine in their strengths and create a seamless sound.

For now, however, they will continue to play separately. Psaros acknowledged that to audiences, “more is better than less,” and two well-known singer/songwriters coming together is much more impressive than if a band has to break up in the future with members having to find their own way. So they will continue writing and performing alone as they keep working together to move forward in their music.

For Brownlee, at least, however far she goes in music, she will never be far from her local roots. She has come from a musical and theatrical background, which all stemmed from her parents and the Rockin’ B. She said she’s been “blessed” to have family members that are both “true people and performers.”

“They’ve taught me that it’s OK to perform as long as you know the difference,” she said.

Relay for Life picking up steam as event draws near

By Kelly Moore Splash Staff Writer

With Liberty Lake’s inaugural American Cancer Society Relay for Life event less than a month away, seven teams are officially registered with 35 participants already raising funds to support cancer research and patient services.

The ACS signature event gives people in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have bat-

tled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. To be guaranteed a T-shirt, participants must register online by July 20. The event will take place Aug. 5 and 6 at the Meadowwood Technology Campus.

The Liberty Lake Merchants Association is leading team fundraising with $339.70 collected as of press time, edging out The Splash, which has raised $300. The Safeway Super Crew is close behind in

third, having collected $250. Other teams include the City of Liberty Lake, Comfort Keepers, Liberty Lake Centennial Rotary and Walgreens Relay Revelers.

Organizers chose “Tooning Out Cancer” as the event theme, and teams are encouraged to dress up and decorate their campsites based on a favorite cartoon.

ACS representative Jennifer Kronvall said a goal for the event is to draw 25 teams. Event representatives will also be

on hand to answer questions at the Liberty Lake Farmers Market July 9 and the Valley Girl Triathlon July 10.

Interested participants are also invited to attend an informational meeting 6 p.m.

July 14 at the Liberty Lake Municipal Library.

May the Fourth be with you

By Chad Kimberley Splash Staff Writer

Sheldahl, Iowa. Population, 336.

This small town in central Iowa was the site of some of my best memories as a child.

My grandparents lived in this town, and every Fourth of July my grandpa would unhitch the trailer from his semi for the parade. He and I would hop into the front seat, drive right through the center of town and toss candy to all the kids lined up on the side of the street.

Upon finishing the parade route (which in Sheldahl took about 3 to 5 minutes, assuming the horses up front didn’t stop to do some business), my grandpa and I would go back to the house where he would crack open a beverage, throw some charcoal on the grill and let me beat him in poker.

As I got older, I began thinking it wasn’t as cool to be in the parade. I started making excuses not to go with grandpa. Eventually my grandparents retired to Phoenix, and I didn’t see them as often after that.

I hadn’t thought much about my grandpa until I decided to participate in the Liberty Lake parade. I realized my son, Jonathan, is now about the same age I was when I started climbing into the cab of that semi for the annual parade. And my hope was that I could help him create some of those same fun memories I had as a kid while recapturing some for myself as well.

A small-town Iowa parade has a few staples in it and not much else. We had tractors, tractors and a few more tractors making their way through town. We had lots of horses. The occasional pig would make its way down Main Street. And someone would always dress up as a clown; unfortunately, the clown always looked like a serial killer in disguise to me.

And of course there would be one, and only one if my memory serves me right, big rig with my grandpa behind the wheel laying on the horn.

july 7, 2011 • 21

coMMUNITY You see, my grandpa liked to march to the beat of a different drummer.

He believed you didn’t have to be like everyone else. Admittedly, this is a lesson I have a hard time appreciating, but I’ve come to realize this is a lesson I want my kids to understand.

As we began to put our parade plans together, I wanted to borrow a golf cart. After attending three years of parades here in Liberty Lake, I had come to see golf carts as a staple of the event. I didn’t want to stick out like the oddball, which of course my grandpa would have done.

Thankfully, I have a wife who likes to remind me of the simple things, and we settled on a wagon as the way to go.

Next we had to determine our theme.

Now I know this is a Fourth of July parade but we decided to go a bit outside of the box for our float design. We figured there would be lots of patriotism flowing so we decided to tap into an area my son and I share a love for, Star Wars.

I know when you think Fourth of July you think of a little green guy who talks funny.

We got Jonathan dressed in a Jedi robe (actually a shepherd costume courtesy of the church prop department). My oldest daughter, Brianna, headed out in one of my old Star Wars Tshirts along with our Empire Strikes Back lunchbox filled to the brim with candy. My middle kid, Rachel, originally had on a purple bathrobe with a light saber at her side until we nixed the costume after realizing our Jedi powers couldn’t heal heatstroke.

The wagon was covered with our official slogan, “May the Fourth be with you,” along with homemade light sabers in the patriotic red and blue. We marched down to the start of the parade route to begin our trek with Yoda hanging off the back of the wagon.

We were about as unconventional as could be … and I loved it!

The parade itself was a semi-success, and I say “semi-” only for one reason — we ran out of candy way too early. The kids loved seeing their cousins and friends and loading them up with candy. With five kids (a couple of Bri’s friends joined us for the march) chucking candy in all directions, I realized my three jumbo bags were about three too short. A rookie mistake. Beyond that, it was a blast.

Jonathan, my normally very shy guy, seemed to enjoy waving his light sabers here and there and even posing for the occasional photo-op. We all had fun as people seemed to get a kick out of our Star Wars-themed float.

One of the biggest thrills for the kids happened before the parade even started.

Our float earned a special award for origi-

nal entry — proof that marching to your own beat has its perks.

I know the Fourth of July is about a whole lot more than parades, barbecues and fireworks. It is a celebration of freedom — the freedoms we have fought for and continue to fight to maintain. I am incredibly grateful for the men and women who have served, who are serving now and who are preparing to serve.

The beauty of freedom is that we are al-

lowed to march to the beat of a different drummer. We are allowed to stand out, think outside the box and try something new. My grandpa taught me that, and I hope, in one small way, my kids got a taste of that lesson as we paraded ourselves around Liberty Lake.

I know I did.

This is the third installment of a summer column series Chad Kimberley is writing about recapturing his inner child.
