Splash Staff Writer

If you’re ever wondered what might happen if a human provided a consistent food source to deer or removed obstacles for salmon to spawn, then “Liberal In Nature” may be the book for you.

Written by local attorney Garrett Hall, the novel follows the quest of a self-proclaimed liberal who attempts to fix the injustices he encounters among animals in the wild.

After two years of research, writing and editing, Hall released “Liberal In Nature” on July 4. In his book, Hall explores political ideologies and addresses social issues such as affirmative action, education, health care and taxes in a light-hearted, humorous tone.

The Splash recently got in touch with Hall to learn how he came up with the concept for his first novel and how his own ideologies shaped the story line.

Q. A.

I know this is your first published book, but have you done any freelancing in the past?

I have published short stories, poems and articles in various magazines and journals. I published a short story about mountain climbing in the Brigham Young University Honors

journal, “Insight” magazine. I have published editorials in various newspapers, and I published a poem in an annual poetry volume many years ago. I usually write for my own enjoyment.

Q: Summarize the story line in a few sentences.

A: Andrew, a self-proclaimed liberal, leaves society to live in the wilderness.

Once there, he concludes that nature is unfair and unjust. For instance, he observes that some squirrels gather more nuts than others, animals are prejudiced against predators and some animals have to struggle too hard for survival. Applying his deep-seated liberal beliefs, he sets out to fix these injustices and fundamentally transform nature.

Q: How did you come up with the concept for the book?

CVSD prepares 2011-2012 budget

By Kelly Moore

Splash Staff Writer

The Central Valley School Board reviewed the proposed $124 million budget for the upcoming school year. The board will be asked to approve the budget at its Aug. 22 meeting.

“I’d like to say that we’re out of the woods and it’ll all get better from here, but I think as we look at the state and local economies, we’re going to see this tightening of budgets continue,” CVSD Executive Director of Finance Janice Hutton said.

During the presentation, she recommended budget cuts by reducing the certificated elementary staff by five full-time equivalencies and eliminating two administrative positions, including the director of facilities and operations and the secre-

tary for that position. The director of facilities and operations position is currently vacant.

Hutton also recommended tightening efficiencies through transportation and nutrition services.

A slight increase in the overall budget from last year reportedly came due to increased retirement rates, but was offset by a slight decrease in enrollment and a reduction in state funding.

The budget process factored in enrollment projections, legislative action, labor contracts and board decisions, Hutton said. She also noted that 87.3 percent of the district’s budget is spent on salaries and benefits for employees.

The presentation wrapped with no questions or comments from the board.

LLCT hosts murder-mystery dinner benefit

By Kelly Moore

Splash Staff Writer

The murder-mystery dinner and silent auction, "Silence is Golden," will be held at CenterPlace Regional Event Center in Spokane Valley Aug. 19 to benefit the Liberty Lake Community Theatre.

“We’re very excited,” LLCT member Erika Boles said. “Everything is coming together nicely, and it should be a really fun night.”

The dinner is in a modern-day setting where the Silence is Golden Foundation will be raising funds to cure “silence-a-phobia.”

Foundation Founder Lolita Evans

has invited several guest speakers and entertainers to the event.

However, things go awry after an early-dinner murder, and questioning soon reveals mobsters and undercover cops in the audience. By the end of the night, diners will question the real motives of the event.

Unlike other LLCT productions, the action takes place at the dinner table — not on stage.

Actors will be planted at tables as various characters like celebrities, reporters and a detective.

Throughout the evening, bystanders must listen carefully for clues and ask the detective questions. At the end of the night, ev-

Rockin’ B closing at season’s end Scott and Pamela Brownlee, owners of the Rockin’ B Ranch, announced last week that this season will be the last one for the Cowboy Supper Shows.

For the past 17 years, the Rockin’ B has provided audiences with a unique and different entertainment environment, Pamela Brownlee said. During the school year, Scott is a professor and Pamela teaches vocal performance.

“We just looked at each other a few weeks ago, after celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, and said, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to retire the Cowboy Supper Show and take a summer vacation like normal people?’” she said. “We know every song has an ending, and we want the Cowboy Supper Show to end on a high note.”

On Saturday, Friends of Pavillion Park volunteers staged one of their biggest concerts ever. A look at how the day unfolded …

Story and photos by Kelly Moore Splash Staff Writer

9 a.m. — It’s early enough for the city to still be quiet, but about a dozen Friends of Pavillion Park volunteers are bustling around the park. In less than an hour, the group hangs the awning, curtains and banners, sweeps the stairs and sidewalk, and assembles the railing and dance floor.

“Normally, it’s like three of us, and we’re rushing around to get done before the

Advance preparations Leading up to the big day, a handful of Friends of Pavillion Park volunteers picked up the momentum with a full slate of preparations.

• First, volunteer Chris Apted was the one responsible for booking Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

“It was lots and lots of phone calls and lots and lots of negotiations,” Apted said.

“We’re nonprofit, so I’m not going to pay retail for anything.”

Apted said the relationship with the band’s booking agency took years to develop to the point of credibility. Now, he said bands book entire northwest tours after signing to play Liberty Lake.

sound guys get here,” FOPP Treasurer Kathi Shirley said.

10 a.m. — “We’re actually ahead of schedule,” FOPP president Josh Schluter said. “This is amazing.”

Schluter said Saturday yielded the most volunteers the group has ever seen for a concert set up, and it made things run much more smoothly.

The volunteers wrap up early enough to • FOPP president Josh Schluter started publicizing Saturday’s concert back in June, hitting every news outlet in the region. He said the organization also recorded a radio spot for local stations.

• A couple days before the show, FOPP Treasurer Kathi Shirley and FOPP Secretary Kayla Wilson shopped for the band’s three-page rider (a list of requirements from the band that range in everything from groceries to backstage amenities.)

• Nothing on the list was particularly strange, but it was pretty specific: “(1) jar of organic natural peanut butter and (1) jar of jam or preserves (no jelly). And no grape. Only ‘the Kid’ and Karl like grape.

They’ve been outvoted 10 to 2.”

The Splash

help the band’s crew start unloading equipment. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s last show in Oregon was canceled due to rain, but not before soaking all the instruments and sound equipment. Before setting up, crews let things sit out to dry for a while. It seems the only casualty might have been a pack of guitar strings.

Noon — A handful of lawn chairs and blankets already dot the lawn, claiming seats from as close as possible to the rim of the amphitheater.

“It’s a big name, so I think we’ll have a pretty good crowd here,” Schluter said.

“People usually set up early, but this is a little sooner than I think I’ve ever seen.”

The bulk of the crowd won’t start showing up until about 4 p.m., but in the meantime, volunteers do their best to make sure no high back lawn chairs make it too close to the stage.

12:30 p.m. — Celebrity sighting: double bass player Dirk Shumaker is the first band member spotted in the park. He stays around for a while to tune his instrument while he softly sings toward the back of the Pavillion.

2 p.m. — All’s quiet in the park. Schluter and FOPP Secretary Kayla Wilson run a few last-minute errands and stake out directional signage throughout the commu-

nity. A few volunteers stick around to keep an eye on the equipment, but nothing else is scheduled until the pre-dinner sound check.

“Today is usually not a big deal,” Shirley said. “The set-up is the hardest part, but tear down will go just like that.”

While waiting, Kiwanis volunteers start to trickle in to unload the group’s concession stand trailer. The concert was the group’s third event in 24 hours.

2:30 p.m. — Schluter stops by Greenstone President Jim Frank’s house on the lake to set up the lawn chairs, a canopy and let the cook in. Frank, a longtime supporter of Friends of Pavillion Park, is away on his honeymoon, so he won’t be able to attend the special dinner at his place tonight, but the keys are in Schluter’s hands.

3 p.m. — “One, two, hey, hey, one, two.”

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy takes the stage in T-shirts and shorts for a quick sound check.

The ruckus draws a few interested kids over from the water park area for a miniature crowd of bathing suit-donned rockers.

4:22 p.m. — Everything sounds good to go, so the band and volunteers load up to head to Frank’s house to unwind and eat.

BACKSTAGE Continued from page 12

A carload of SCOPE volunteers pull into the parking lot just as Schluter pulls out. He rolls down his window to give a few last-minute instructions, then turns toward the lake where he’ll help host dinner for about 30 people.

4:25 p.m. — “Heaven, I’m in Heaven,” Shumaker sings as he walks out onto the lakefront lawn where dinner is hosted. “This is so lovely.”

Band mates make a beeline for lawn chairs and a hammock, where they unload and relax. Some catch up on e-mails and calls to home.

Trumpet player Tony Bonsera works on a song he’s writing for his cousin’s wedding.

4:47 p.m. — While waiting on the grub, saxophone player Andy Rowley and a crewmember sneak off in a canoe for a little exploring.

5:15 p.m. — Dinner is served: beef Wellington, chicken, vegetable lasagna, roasted vegetables, rice and salad with mini cheesecake and red velvet cupcakes for dessert. Between the band, crew and volunteer crowd, about 30 people were served courtesy of volunteer Kitsy Blair’s culinary expertise.

6:15 p.m. — A volunteer announces that it’s time to get the

band back to the park. The musicians break into a round of applause and thank hosts before rushing to Pavillion Park, where they’ll change into matching performance attire and start warm ups. Pianist Joshua Levy is the last out the door after almost forgetting his backpack in the yard.

“Put in the paper that the band loved this hospitality,” he said on his way out.

6:20 p.m. — On his way to the park, while downing what must be his fifth Red Bull of the day, Schluter reflects on his hectic schedule.

“I think my favorite part so far was seeing things take off at 10 a.m. and knowing how far along we were already,” Schluter said.

“But I don’t know, I think seeing all the people here will be cool, too.”

6:30 p.m. — Kiwanis volunteers tend to steady lines at the concession stand. Volunteer Pat Lutzenberger says the big sellers of the night are hot dogs, but drinks, pizza and nachos are all tied as a close second.

6:40 p.m. — As band members warm up in various areas backstage, a little girl starts drawing on the stairs near Bonsera, the trumpet player. She catches his attention with a smiley face drawn with pink chalk.

“That’s me?” Bonsera asked. “It

6:58 p.m. — “This is great,” Shirley said, surveying the crowd.

“They told me at dinner that their favorite audience is birth to 80. I said, ‘Well, OK, you’ll probably get plenty of that here.’”

7:05 p.m. — Schluter swallows his nerves and addresses the crowd to thank sponsors and plug upcoming events.

7:17 p.m. — It’s show time: The band takes the stage and the crowd goes wild.

7:30 p.m. — The dance floor is packed with swinging dancers of all ages. With so many feeling the beat, dancers spill off the edges and toward the front of the stage.

Further back, a couple tables boast spreads of melon and fancy cheese for some of the best-prepared golf cart drivers.

Still, from anywhere in the am-

phitheater, no one can take two steps without seeing a tapping toe or swinging hip.

7:42 p.m. — Hidee-hidee-hideehi: The band rallies audience participation with a cover of Cab Calloway’s “Minnie the Moocher.”

8:15 p.m. — Boy Scouts make their way through the crowd with buckets to collect donations to help cover the costs for the free event.

8:29 p.m. — Big Bad Voodoo Daddy goes into its finale with a drawn-out performance of their 1996 hit, “Go Daddy-O.” After briefly clearing the stage, they return for a two-song encore performance.

8:47 p.m. — The final song ended with trumpet player Glen “The Kid” Marhevka singing, “So long, farewell, goodbye. We’ll be back again for another show. When we do, come say ‘hi.’”

Is that a promise?

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy members Alex Henderson, Scotty Morris and Dirk Shumaker wind down the night with one of their biggest hits, “Go Daddy-O.”

Stereo complaint overblown In response to “‘Boomer stereos’ out of control” (Letter to the editor, Aug. 4 Splash), I guess I am one of “those parents.”

My soon-to-be 17-year-old son has a “boomer stereo” that he worked and paid for himself. He is a great kid, and my husband and I consider ourselves good parents; occasionally, we even feel we are in the minority. My son doesn’t drink, do drugs or party (which, in these days, is a miracle). He has a job, a curfew and perfect attendance at school. If the worst thing he does is “boom” his stereo while driving around in his car that he also paid for himself, then hallelujah!

I guess I can only sum it up with the old saying, “If it’s too loud ... you’re too old.”

No offense.

Leave dogs home on Market day The Saturday morning Farmers Market has been a real asset to the community of Liberty Lake. We much appreciate the effort that goes into it. We especially enjoyed the Italian Festival day. It was crowded but fun.

However, a lot of people voiced their annoyance at the people who feel they need to bring their dogs — a pit bull, rottweiler, German shepherds and a variety of smaller dogs.

There’s always a safety issue with so many small children, especially those that want to “hug” a dog. Also, disabled people have a hard enough time getting around without stumbling over a dog.

Couldn’t the dogs be left at home for such a short time? It would be much appreciated.

Police work was appreciated I would like to send kudos to the Liberty Lake Police Department. One morning last week, I found that the radio from my car had been stolen. I called the police; they connected me with Detective Ray Bourgeois. To my amazement, they already had the thief in jail, and they had my radio. Now that’s good police work!

Thank you, Liberty Lake Police Department.

Relay raises more than $11K for American Cancer Society

By Kelly Moore Splash Staff Writer

Liberty Lake’s inaugural Relay For Life event drew a crowd of local residents to raise more than $11,000 for the American Cancer Society.

“It was definitely a success,” ACS representative Jennifer Kronvall said. “Lots of people are already talking about what they want to do next year. I think it’ll just grow from here.”

She said about 100 people came out throughout the night, making up 10 teams with a handful of solo participants.

“I heard a good response from everyone who was there,” Kronvall said. “People just had a great time bonding with the great crowd that was there and just relaxing.”

She said some of the big hits of the night were the bouncy slide, the Luminaria Ceremony and a late-night visit from the Spokane Astronomical Society.

Top individual fundraising was award-

ed to Shane Brickner, who walked the entire 17-hour event solo. To date, he had accumulated $1,040.

Top team fundraising was awarded to Team Splash, with a grand total of $2,371.

The team was also awarded a certificate for the best campsite decorated around the theme of “101 Dalmatians.”

Other awards were given to Brickner, Team Splash and Team Steph (Spokane Dermatology Clinic) for “Spirit of Relay.”

The award recognized teams or individuals who embodied the event’s spirit — not with pompoms, but through values, goals and accomplishments.

Organizers will meet soon for a wrapup meeting to review the event and talk about improvements, Kronvall said. The group will also look at the calendar to decide if next year’s event will be held on the same weekend.

Funds raised for the American Cancer Society go toward research for developing a cure as well as patient services and advocacy. Kronvall said anyone looking for some last-minute involvement can still donate online to this year’s event until Aug. 31 by visiting www.relayforlife.org/ libertylakewa.

— Compiled by Julia Marquiss at Liberty Lake’s Relay For Life. Teams were asked by organizers to decorate their campsites around the theme, “Tooning Out Cancer.”

“I don’t know that we’re the best, but we’re having a lot of fun.”

We’ve got Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Bugs Bunny and Taz.” Nita Lybarger, captain of Team Steph/Spokane Dermatology Clinic with the theme of Looney Tunes “Shortly after [my treatment], I had a massage and the lady told me that she saw an angel on my shoulder.
