If Craig Fruin had followed his early career trajectory, he would be a pilot. Instead, however, his attention turned to cars and he’s currently the general manager and co-owner of Spokane Hyundai.

Fruin grew up in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada. He earned his pilot’s license and flew planes for skydivers and did fire watch flights, which involved flying over remote areas after lightning storms. “You fly over those areas and see if anything is smoldering,” he said.

The first dealership he worked for wasn’t a good fit, so Fruin moved on to one that agreed with his philosophy of full transparency with customers and ethical sales practices. It’s a methodology he still follows, as evidenced by the 3-day full money back guarantee and 7-day exchange policy in place at Spokane Hyundai.

Fruin said it’s all about making car buying a good experience for

to fly fish multiple times a year.

“We found the Clearwater River in 2013,” he said.

He also likes the more temperate winters here. “We had two days of snow and it’s not negative 40 degrees,” he said of the most recent winter.

Spokane Hyundai employs 53 people and Fruin said business has been good. “There’s always different challenges,” he said.

“We see customers holding on

He was also a “bird dog,” flying just ahead of water tanker aircraft to point the way as they were preparing to dump their load on a forest fire. “They’re literally on your tail,” he said.

“They follow you through and out.”

Fruin worked as a ramp attendant for Air Ontario and was working toward becoming a pilot with the airline. He passed ground school, but there weren't

Fruin said he wishes he had the time to do more. “There’s so many non-profits in the area that are in desperate need of help and not just monetarily,” he said.

How did you begin working with Hyundai dealerships?

We spent close to two years evaluating a wide range of brands and markets across North America, looking for the right opportunity, not just financially, but culturally and long term.

Spokane kept coming back into the conversation because my wife has family here, and it always felt like a place where we could build both a business and a life.

Interestingly, Hyundai was not originally on our radar. We were a Honda family through and through. That changed when my wife brought home a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe. I remember joking that she had bought “the wrong H.” What happened next completely shifted our perspective. That Santa Fe turned out to be the most reliable vehicle we had ever owned, and it opened our eyes to just how much the Hyundai brand had evolved.

He picked up his interest in flying from his grandfather, who trained Air Force pilots during World War II and later worked as an aeronautical engineer. “Flying is cool,” Fruin said.

One of Fruin’s regrets is that he never got to fly with his grandfather. As he got older, his grandfather wasn’t flying anymore and by the time he earned his pilot’s license, his grandfather had passed away.

“Isn’t it just what you do?” he said. “Doing whatever you can to give back to those that support you, I would say that’s a requirement, not an option.”

Photo by Nina Culver Craig Fruin General Manager of Spokane Hyundai was born and raised in Ontario Canada before being lured to the Spokane area in 2018 with the purchase of Spokane Hyundai. Fruin also believes in community giving his time helping non-profits such as the Women's Healing and Empowerment Network (WHEN), Second Harvest and the Youth Disc Golf Association.

Continued from page 2 best warranties in the industry. It was clear this was no longer an underdog brand, it was a brand with real momentum and longterm vision.

When you combine that kind of product trajectory with a growing market like Spokane Valley and the broader Inland Northwest, the opportunity was compelling.

We believed in the brand, we believed in the community, and we made the decision to move our family down from Calgary and fully commit. It has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

Q: How would you describe your leadership philosophy?

A. My leadership philosophy is simple, but it requires consistency: be present, empower your people, and always do the right thing.

I believe strongly in management by walking around.

You cannot lead effectively from behind a desk. You need to be in it with your team, understanding what they are experiencing day to day, recognizing wins, and helping navigate challenges in real time.

I have built my career as much on my failures as my successes.

Mistakes are part of growth, and when you create an environment where people feel safe to take ownership, you unlock a much higher level of accountability and performance. We encourage learning, we support one another, and we move forward together.

At the core of everything we do, with our staff, our customers, and our partners, is a simple principle: we do it because it is the right thing to do. That builds trust, and trust builds long term success.

And just as important, we make sure to enjoy it. This is a people business. Energy is contagious, and so are smiles. If you bring the right attitude every day, it lifts everyone around you.

Q: What do you like the most about your job?

A. The variability is what keeps it exciting. No two days are

ever the same, and that constant change keeps you engaged and always learning.

But what truly makes this job special is the team. I am fortunate to work alongside a group of people who genuinely care about each other and the work we do.

We operate in lockstep, we hold each other accountable, and we celebrate wins together.

1

At the end of the day, this business is about people. When you have a team aligned around a shared purpose and showing up with energy and integrity, it makes all the difference. That is what makes coming to work every day something I look forward to.

Q: What boards and community organizations have you been involved in locally?

A. I have had the privilege of serving as the past Chairperson for the Women’s Healing and Empowerment Network, an organization doing incredibly important work supporting women who have experienced trauma and abuse. I remain actively involved today as a member of the advisory board. It is something that means a great deal to me, and candidly, I wish I could give even more of my time.

As life slows down just a bit, I fully intend to lean in further and support this incredible mission in a bigger way.

We are also actively involved with Second Harvest Inland Northwest and the Youth Disc Golf Association. These partnerships reflect causes that matter deeply to us: ensuring no one goes without a meal and creating opportunities for young people to grow, stay active, and build confidence.

Spokane is an exceptional community. There is a strong sense of connection here, and with that comes responsibility. We believe it is incumbent upon all of us, especially local businesses, to contribute in meaningful ways and help make the community even stronger, particularly for those who need it most.

Q: What do you like to do in your off time?

A. If I am not at the dealership, you will most likely find me outdoors with family and friends.

More Than a Market We have two daughters, and spending time together is what matters most.

Golf is a passion of mine, but fly fishing is where I truly disconnect and recharge. There is something special about being on the Clearwater River chasing steelhead. It forces you to slow down, focus, and be present. It is good for the soul.

We also spend a lot of time at our second home in Orofino. It is our place to unplug and reset.

There is a calm there that is hard to put into words, but it centers

you.

Beyond that, we are big music fans. We love live shows and will travel just about anywhere for a great performance. Spokane has brought in some incredible acts over the years, and music is a big part of our life. Around our home, the saying is simple: the music never stops.

At the end of the day, whether it is on the river, at a concert, or just around the table, it always comes back to spending time with great people. That is what matters most.

Introducing the

Safety Awareness Channel

The maps provided depict where citizens have reported Vehicle Thefts, Burglaries, Malicious Mischief and Thefts. The Spokane Valley Police Department and the Spokane County Sheriff’s office analyze this data to determine high crime areas and where to allocate resources.

Citizens who have been a victim of crime are encouraged to call 911, if the crime is in progress, or Crime Check at 4562233, if not in progress, to report a crime.

SAFETY TIP OF THE MONTH Preparing for Fire Season

As spring transitions into early summer, May is a critical time for homeowners in Spokane Valley, Washington to focus on wildfire preparedness.

With warmer temperatures and drying vegetation on the horizon, local fire officials consistently emphasize that early preparation can make a significant difference in protecting homes, property, and lives.

Wildfire risk is a growing concern across Spokane County. In fact, the region regularly experiences dry conditions that can quickly turn grasses, trees, and brush into fuel.

Many homes in Spokane Valley are located in what’s known as the wildland-urban interface—areas where residential neighborhoods meet natural landscapes—making them especially vulnerable to fire spread.

Why May Matters Fire experts stress that May is the ideal time to act. As one Spokane Valley fire official noted, this is “the perfect time of year to start cleaning up your yards” and reduce materials that could ignite from embers.

Waiting until peak summer heat arrives can be too late, as conditions may already be dangerously dry and fire-prone.

Create Defensible Space Around Your Home One of the most effective safety steps homeowners can take is creating defensible space. This refers to the area surrounding your home that is cleared or modified to slow or stop the spread of wildfire. Fire agencies recommend maintaining at least 30 feet of defensible space—and even more on slopes.

Start with these key actions: - Remove dry leaves, pine needles, and debris from roofs, gutters, and decks

The Current

- Trim tree branches so they are at least 6–10 feet off the ground Space out shrubs and trees to prevent fire from spreading between them - Keep the first 5 feet around your home free of flammable materials like mulch, firewood, or outdoor furniture These steps reduce what firefighters call “ladder fuels,” which allow flames to climb from the ground into tree canopies and intensify quickly.

Eliminate “Ember Traps” Many homes ignite not from direct flames, but from wind-driven embers that travel long distances.

These embers can collect in small, overlooked areas—called ember traps—such as gutters, under decks, or in corners with accumulated debris.

To reduce this risk: - Clean gutters regularly - Remove debris from around foundations and fences - Avoid using bark mulch near the home; consider gravel or rock instead Have an Evacuation Plan Preparation isn’t just about protecting your house—it’s also about protecting your family. Wildfires can spread rapidly and unpredictably, sometimes changing direction quickly.

Make sure your household: Knows at least two evacuation routes from your neighborhood Has a go-bag with essentials ready Keeps emergency alerts enabled on phones Community Effort Matters Wildfire safety is not just an individual responsibility. Programs like Firewise and local wildfire readiness initiatives show that when neighbors work together, entire communities become more resilient.

Final Thoughts For Spokane Valley homeowners, May is more than just the start of warmer weather—it’s a vital window for wildfire prevention.

By taking proactive steps now— clearing debris, creating defensible space, and planning ahead—you can significantly reduce your risk and help protect your neighborhood.

In wildfire safety, preparation isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Spokane Valley council to consider ice rink lease on April 28

The Current

NEWS

By John McCallum Current contributor

After almost seven months of negotiations the Spokane Valley City Council got a chance to review a proposed lease agreement between the city and organizations seeking to build an ice rink with two National Hockey League-sized ice sheets on city property just off Sullivan Road north of the Spokane River.

After over an hour of presentations and at times contentious debate, the council voted 5-2 — councilmen Al Merkel and Michael Kelly voting no — at its April 21 meeting to move the proposed lease agreement to the council’s April 28 meeting for final approval. The presentation by City Manager John Hohman, Assistant City Manager Erik Lamb, City Services Manager Gloria Mantz and City Attorney Kelly Konkright got off to an auspicious start when Mayor Laura Padden read a statement noting receipt of emails on the topic and that individuals had posted frequently on social media sites such as NextDoor about the project.

Padden said many of emails and posts contained misinformation, unfounded innuendos about city motives and even attacks on city staff members.

Kelly and Merkel’s issues with the project ranged from its timing with a city-installed waterline to the property — something that city staff said had been in the works since 2012 — to potential for city debt on the privately funded project and profitability of the ice rink to use of city property for a private entity and with whom the lease agreement would be made.

Regarding the latter, if approved, the lease would be between Spokane Valley and two limited liability companies (LLCs): Innovia Ignite Foundation and Spokane Youth Ice, LLC. The Ignite Foundation is an LLC formed by Innovia while Spokane Youth Ice is being formed by the donor, who was identified in a March 13 Spokesman-Review story as Spokane Valley native and successful businessman Bill Lawson, owner and

The Spokane City Council agreed to move a ground lease for the proposed Sullivan Park ice rink forward to its April 28 meeting for final approval. president of A&A Construction & Development, Inc. The story stated Lawson is donating $25 million to help finance the ice rink, cost of which is estimated in a report by The Sports Facilities Advisory organization included in the presentation to be between $42.5 million – $51.5 million. The Innovia Foundation is assisting with procuring additional charitable contributions, something they have been doing successfully in 20 Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho counties since 1974.

Konkright said the donor would give a controlling interest in the facility to Ignite Foundation, and that formation of the LLCs is part of their tax planning considerations.

“It really has nothing to do with the city; we’re not the taxpayer in that situation,” Konkright said. “But that is their business planning on their side of the lease.”

According to the Small Business Administration, an LLC is primarily formed to shield “personal assets (home, savings) from business debts and lawsuits while providing flexible management and pass-through taxation. It is formed for any lawful, for-profit business activity, combining corporate liability protection with partnership-style tax benefits.”

“This is not a money-making

venture for the site. proposal for them, it’s actually a donation to the community,” Hohman added.

The proposed lease would be for a term of 75 years rather than the standard 99 years of most commercial leases. There would be an option to extend the lease for an additional 24 years.

The Lessee, Ignite and Youth Ice, would have to make the facility available to the general public and provide at least 500 hours annually of use at “free or discounted rates for economically disadvantaged persons.” All revenue generated by the ice rink must be spent on operation, maintenance, capital improvements and programming — a provision that also includes revenue from two separate parcels included in the arrangement that must be developed with commercial applications that support the ice rink.

The original ice rink proposal presented in September 2025 included a 120-room hotel on one of the parcels to help support the facility. However, in December as part of the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee’s approval of the city’s request for funding from lodging tax revenue for infrastructure and facility operations, the city and Innovia agreed to table the proposed hotel and find another commercial

LTAC approved, $2 million to go towards the estimated $3.3 million in infrastructure improvements needed before construction can begin on the site as well as a total of $2.85 million for facility operations over the first five years after it opens in 2027.

Funding for facility operations would start at $600,000 annually in 2027 and 2028, dropping to $550,000 from 2029 – 2031.

LTAC funding is based on two taxes levied on hotel overnight stay charges: a 1.3% tax that can only be used for capital projects (Fund 104) and a 2% tax (Fund 105) limited to covering the costs of items such as tourism promotion, marketing of events designed to increase tourism and acquisition or operation of tourism-related facilities.

The lease terms also give the city the right of first refusal should another entity seek to purchase the ice rink.

The city also has the right to purchase the ice rink in the future once debt on the facility reaches $9.4 million or less, a right that expires two years after it could be first exercised.

Neither the right of refusal nor purchase options binds the city to having to own the ice rink.

Additionally, all agreed to terms in the lease will apply to any entity that subleases the facility or who assumes

the entire interest in the ice rink should Ignite and Youth Ice transfer the facility to a third party.

“Those obligations or the use of those parcels follow any transfer,” Konkright said.

Finally, the city agrees to lease the property north of Sullivan Park for the ice rink for an annual rate of $1. It also agrees to providing about $3.03 million in infrastructure improvements that includes a $1.25 million contract with Colville Construction approved in April 2025 to lay 1,500 feet of new 16-inch water main from north of the Union Pacific tracks, under the tracks and along the west side of Sullivan to the property as well as installation of a sewer lift station and signal and roadway upgrades.

Because the new line allows nearby chemical manufacturer Kemira Water Solutions to upgrade its fire suppression system, the manufacturer has agreed to reimburse the city up to $749,400 as their share of the project costs. The city will pay for the remaining upgrades with the lodging tax funding and money from the Capital Reserve Fund.

Hohman defended the $1 annual

lease amount by pointing to the expected economic impact the ice rink will have on the region by hosting youth hockey tournaments that will attract overnight stays from visitors in local hotels. A study done for the city indicated the economic impact could top $4.19 million in the facility’s first year of operation, growing to over $6.9 million by year five.

Hohman said approving the lease at the April 28 meeting was critical in keeping with a timeline to have the facility built and open by June 2027.

“I can tell you, there’s not any room to negotiate this again, and there’s no time,” he added.

In response to a public comment questioning the city’s involvement in the ice rink and asking who benefits, Tru By Hilton owner Grant Quinn said it is local businesses and their employees who will benefit, with Eagles Ice Arena general manager Jason Greenwell also listing area ice sports youth who are already struggling to find space to practice and compete.

“Sports is big in this market,” Quinn said. “As a hotel operator, this is what it’s all about.”

Central Valley School District (CVSD) is connecting with community through this Link.

Built for Belonging...

How students, staff and families bring inclusion at CVSD to life In Central Valley, inclusion is more than a philosophy—it's something students and staff bring to life in meaningful, everyday ways.

At University High School, that spirit took shape when senior Camren Breeden noticed Daniel, a blind and nonverbal student, struggling to navigate the halls. Using skills from his Career and Technical Education class, Camren built a custom sensory aid that allowed Daniel to move independently. What began as a simple observation became a powerful act of empathy—one that gave Daniel greater autonomy and

reflected what his teacher called “the whole reason for inclusion.”

Across the district at Sunrise Elementary, that same commitment is opening doors in different ways. Firstgrader Remi Schreiber, who lives with cerebral palsy, uses eye-tracking technology to communicate, learn and pursue her passion for music. With the support of her teachers and specialized tools, Remi has not only learned to play the piano—she was featured in a national AT&T commercial, inspiring audiences far beyond Spokane Valley.

Families play a vital role in this work, partnering closely with educators to ensure each child's needs, strengths and goals are understood and supported. Together, they help create consistent, nurturing environments where students feel safe to take courageous steps, build skills and celebrate progress.

Staff across schools collaborate to refine inclusive practices, share expertise and ensure every student has access to meaningful learning experiences. These partnerships strengthen relationships and communication and reinforce a shared commitment to student success.

Their stories may be different, but the common thread is clear...

When students are supported, included and empowered, they thrive.

In CVSD, inclusion means designing environments where every student can access learning, express themselves and build independence.

Whether it's a student building a mobility device for a peer or a young musician using assistive technology to share her talents with the world, CVSD's inclusive practices are helping students see possibilities – not limitations – in themselves and each other.

Empowering Women Leadership Awards aims to recognize outstanding leadership of local women Current news sources

On April 30,2026, the first-ever Empowering Women Leadership Awards is being held at the Centerplace Regional Event Center in Spokane Valley. The sold-out event of 350 is dedicated to women demonstrating integrity, conviction, vision, service, courage leadership in the Spokane region. The categories awarded include Community Leadership, Government Leadership, Non-Profit Leadership, Young Professional Leadership and Business Leadership. The event is hosted by three organizations focused on promoting free-market principles, accountability in government, and entrepreneurship, including the WOMAN PANEL of Spokane, Washington Policy Center (WPC) and WPC Young Professionals and features a panel of exceptional women who serve in leadership at local (mostly privately funded) nonprofits including Amy Vega with Vanessa Behan, Shelly O'Quinn with INNOVIA, and Georgia Oxford with the Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce.

The WOMAN PANEL has been hosting annual events in Spokane for several years, offering educational and inspirational experiences at more than a dozen events. Issues covered include education, healthcare, business, non-profits, construction, the legal system, banking and even "women with immigration stories."

Panelists are encouraged to share their insights and concerns, and audience members are given an opportunity to ask questions in a safe environment. Questions about the importance of fundamental freedoms and the free market are incorporated into the presentations.

Those learning opportunities are combined with opportunities for action to positively change our community.

COVER STORY Washington Policy Center (WPC), a non-partisan free market research and advocacy organization, teamed up with Bonnie Quinn, event founder and organizer, to host the WOMAN PANEL. WPC’s mission is "Improving Lives with Free Market Solutions.”

“At Washington Policy Center, we believe in the power of ideas to make life better,” said Jill Olson, WPC Young Professionals director.

“So we’re always looking for ways to engage people and create new conversations. It exciting to host an event that brings together so many talented and accomplished women.

We love the energy and perspectives they bring.”

The WOMAN PANEL event series is dedicated to giving voice to today’s female experts, uniting women through the respectful sharing of thoughts, ideas, and concerns, and lifting up the next generation of female leaders.

Ironically, inspiration for this ongoing series came from a time when it wasn’t possible to host them.

“The idea for the event really started from my experiences during the COVID lockdowns,” explained Bonnie Quinn, founder of the WOMAN PANEL and owner of the QUINN Advertising, an awardwinning marketing firm based in the Garland District.

“There was just so much fear and overreach of authority. Some clients were able to operate, thanks to industry lobbyists, while others could not. You couldn’t eat at a restaurant with the windows open, but you could eat in an enclosed tent outside. Protestors could gather for specific causes, but churches couldn’t open or worship. Of course, the cannabis and liquor stores were considered essential. Nothing made sense to me, yet there was not an opportunity to debate or discuss.

Conversations were governed by fear instead of mutual respect. We truly needed a better understanding of our freedoms, including free speech, and the power of free markets to adapt to anything. I also believed women could lead that conversation.

So, the WOMAN PANEL was born.”

Council moves cryptocurrency ATM ban forward, finalizes opioid funds use

NEWS

By John McCallum

Virtual crypto currency kiosks banned At the April 7 meeting, council voted 6-0 — Councilwoman Jessica Yaeger was absent (excused) — to pass the first reading of an ordinance banning the use of virtual currency kiosks, also referred to as cryptocurrency ATMs. Cryptocurrency is a form of digital money that emerged in 2009, the first being Bitcoin, which does not have a centralized banking system.

The kiosks look and operate like traditional physical ATMs but let the individual purchase cryptocurrency using cash or a debit card. Instead of connecting to a bank account to dispense money from a checking or savings account, virtual currency kiosks transfer cryptocurrency to a digital wallet.

Because there is no centralized banking system recording the transaction, virtual currency kiosks do not require lengthy account verification, leading to anonymity that can be taken advantage of by scam and fraud schemes. Often, individuals direct unsuspecting victims to deposit money into their accounts through virtual currency kiosks.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s 2024 Internet Crime Report, there were 10,956 complaints of cryptocurrency ATM/ kiosk fraud resulting in $246.7

The approval also included two alternates to the base bid of $394,419 for the sports courts, which included a scope of work ranging from site preparation, paving, surfacing and striping to installation of basketball goals and pickleball nets. The first alternate for $30,281 involves all electrical work to enable city installation of a sports lighting system which the city is purchasing for $157,000 through a cooperative purchase agreement.

The $48,553 second alternative is for installation of the substructure needed for installation of a parkwide sound system. The city will purchase and install the system for $25,000.

Current contributor

In response to a 2024 state report of a rise in the use of cryptocurrencies kiosks to perpetuate fraudulent activity, the Spokane Valley City Council took steps to ban the virtual currency devices from the city. Additionally at meetings in late March and April the council approved several grant application requests by city staff — including one from Safe Routes to Schools — as well as contracts for Balfour Park sports courts and catering at CenterPlace.

Contributed photo by Spokane County An artist’s rendering of the interior of the expanded Spokane Regional Stabilization Center. Spokane Valley City Council recently voted to provide about $200,000 of its remaining opioid lawsuit settlement funding to the county to assist with the center’s expansion and operation.

Liberty Landworks bid was 14% below the engineering estimate of $551,000, not including sales tax.

With tax, the total amount comes to $515,847.74, with funding coming from the Capital Reserve Fund 312 and two other legislative funds.

Opioid agreement finalized

million in losses — a 99% increase in complaints and 31% increase in monetary loss over 2023 numbers.

From October 2023 to October 2025, local law enforcement investigated 10 reports of loss of funds through scams utilizing virtual currency kiosks.

available total over $106.4 million, $49.4 million from PBP and $57 million from SRTS.

Spokane Valley’s proposed ordinance creates a new municipal code chapter prohibiting the installation of these ATMs in the city. A violation is a civil infraction resulting in a $250 penalty, with a business in violation of the code having the potential to lose its business license.

The city plans to request $6.8 million from PBP and $2 million from SRTS. Of the PBP request, $4.5 million is for the proposed Barker / Appleway roundabout project, with $1.1 million for pedestrian crossing improvements on Appleway and another $1.1 million for city-wide arterial crossing upgrades along with $300,000 for pedestrian / bicycle safety improvement planning along Sprague (Argonne to Sullivan) and Sullivan Road (Sprague to Mission).

Once adopted, the ordinance requires all of the existing 20 virtual currency ATMs to be removed within 30 days. The second reading of the ordinance has yet to be scheduled.

Road, bicycle and safety grants pursued At the March 31 meeting, council voted 4-0 — council members Yaeger, Al Merkel and Laura Padden were absent — to authorize staff to apply for grant funding from two programs designed to improve safety and mobility.

Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has issued a call for projects eligible for funds from the Pedestrian Bicycle Program (PBP) and the Safe Routes To School (SRTS) program. Funds

“This is just about double from what they (WSDOT) offered up two years ago,” Spokane Valley engineering manager Adam Jackson said.

The SRTS funding request, if successful, would go towards installation of school zone flashing beacons, speed feedback signs and rapid flashing beacons at about 20 schools in Spokane Valley.

Balfour Park upgrades approved The city’s years long project to expand Balfour Park just received its latest upgrade. At the April 7 meeting, council unanimously approved a $473,254 bid from Liberty Landworks for installation of sports courts at the park located across Sprague Avenue north of City Hall.

Council voted unanimously at the March 31 meeting to approve an interlocal agreement with Spokane County to provide Spokane Valley’s share of opioid lawsuit settlement funding to help pay for the expansion and annual operational costs of the Spokane Regional Stabilization Center (SRSC). Expansion of the center will provide a 23-hour crisis relief and support for individuals who interact with law enforcement and are experiencing a mental health or substance abuse crisis.

According to the staff report, Spokane Valley is slated to receive $374,422.43 from six different state and national settlements with opioid manufacturers. The city has to date received $121,000 of this amount, with 10% required to be retained annual by the city for administrative cost coverage of Spokane County’s operation of the Opioid Abatement Council.

The City Council also previously voted to commit $57,200 in opioid funds to an agreement with the Spokane Regional Health District for operation of its opioid data collection dashboard as well as a needs assessment. The interlocal agreement regarding the SRSC would commit the rest of the opioid funds.

“This would use up all our settlement funds,” Assistant City Manager Erik Lamb said.

Spokane University – A school that left its mark on the Valley

By Angela Schneider Spokane Valley Heritage Museum

Spokane Valley's secondary school community spirit.

first postsymbolized

Its doors closed, however, just as its most famous graduate embarked on his art career.

Tucked away in a corner of Denver, CO., a small museum showcases the work of Clyfford Still. A member of Spokane University’s class of 1933, Still was an acclaimed American artist, one of the pioneers of abstract expressionism. He even considered Jackson Pollock a close friend.

Born in Grandin, ND., to Canadian parents, Still found his way to Spokane Valley, where he majored in public school art. He was a member of various school clubs and took on the role of leadership, elected president of the Student Executive Council his senior year.

Much of his art training came from teacher Maude Sutton, described as "a great moral philosophical influence upon her students and was a real friend to them" by Robert Sandberg, as quoted in Florence Boutwell's “The Spokane Valley: A History of the Early Years, Vol. 1.”

Still's early works—often completed during his time as a student and teacher at Washington State College— depicted American regionalism and social realism. He painted train yards, wheat-field gleaners and farm families rendered destitute by the Great Depression.

Of course, it was the Depression that closed the doors of Spokane University but not before Still could graduate to leave a legacy of brilliant art and vision.

Spokane University’s legacy of community spirit In 1912, Rev. B.E. Utz became concerned with the lack of pastors in

the Spokane area. Of the 80 churches operating in the city and the Inland Empire, about half had vacant pulpits.

archives and available for research and reprints.

Utz, the pastor of Spokane's Central Christian Church, became determined to resolve the issue by establishing Spokane Bible College. In its first year located in the city’s downtown, the college graduated 18 student ministers and Utz's school took on a grander vision.

Like many businesses and organizations across the U.S., the Great Depression caught up with Spokane University.

He wanted more space and a more permanent location.

With O.A. Adams, pastor of Spokane Valley Christian Church, he secured 33 acres a half mile south of Apple Way and three miles east of Spokane's city limits.

The school was most welcome in the Valley. People living nearby opened their homes to students, although many students lived in tents on campus until dormitories were built. Spokane University's neighbors brought fruits and vegetables from their orchards and gardens to feed the students.

Sisters Mary Fenstermacher, class of '33, and Martha Brookhart, a freshman in the school's final year of operation, told Boutwell, "The whole community functioned around the university, attending games, operettas, debates and receptions."

Closing the doors

By 1933, it built up liabilities of $120,000. Administration sold off almost 15 acres of the property in the late 1920s but the school was still left in dire financial straits. A 1932 school bulletin in the museum archives shows a drastic cut in tuition prices to accommodate students affected by the Depression, but to no avail.

After conferring degrees on 112 men and 100 women, what had become a prominent and storied liberal arts institution closed its doors.

The facilities were sold to Spokane Junior College, which moved the school back to downtown Spokane and merged with Whitworth College. The main class building became University High School until it moved to its new location on 32nd Avenue.

Its legacy, too, lives on in Still's artwork, Oestreicher's photographs, the many local businesses built by its graduates and the 46 ministers that stood behind church pulpits. Maude Sutton, who taught Fine Arts at the institution, was Sam Sutton’s sister.

Sam built a cabin around 1895 at Sutton Bay and eventually opened a resort on Newman Lake. Many a summer day found students enjoying the lake and the resort cabins.

They were all part of building the Spokane Valley community we know today.

The Spokane Valley Heritage Museum is home to hundreds of archival documents and photographs.

Visit the museum at 12114 E. Sprague to start your research and find your parents or grandparents in the Spokannual yearbooks.

The remaining buildings today house senior care facilities and the school's memory lives on with the street names in the area, especially University Road.

While much of the land remained undeveloped through the university's lifespan, necessary buildings were built over time to house classes, dormitories, athletics and more.

The students were incredibly involved in the school's success.

According to the university's 1917 yearbook, Spokannual, they "cleared and made the athletic field, and erected the splendid gymnasium."'

The school churned out young ministers, artists, teachers, musicians and businessmen. Leo Oestreicher started his well-known photography business while he was still a student.

When the boys’ dorm burned down in 1930, Oestreicher bought the house at 920 N. Walnut that became his studio. He gave classmates jobs at the studio and became known for the class portraits he did for area schools.

He took wonderful photographs of Valley development in the 1930s and 1940s, many of which are part of the Spokane Valley Heritage Museum's

for local shops has not After The Bike challenge been competition from each other, but brands selling directly to consumers online.

Hub Closes, has kept neighborhood Spokane Valley bikeWhat shops going strong is handson service, something no online retailer can do. Demand for inBike Shops person repair and maintenance has remained steady even as retail bike Carry On sales have moved to the internet.

By Brooke Masters Current contributor

The Bike Hub served its last customers on Saturday, April 4, 2026, closing the Spokane Valley location that had been its home for more than 15 years. When the closure was announced on Facebook, the post drew around 50 comments from customers sharing fond memories and expressing genuine sadness at the news. The shop also posted a video of memories alongside the announcement showing how much care went into the community they built over the years.

The bicycle retail industry has seen real shifts in recent years. During the Covid-19 pandemic, demand for bikes spiked sharply, and suppliers responded by forecasting high and stocking heavily. When demand settled back to normal levels, it left many shops sitting on excess inventory and forced a period of deep discounting that squeezed margins industry-wide. According to Bicycle Retailer and Industry News, the overall number of bike dealers has stayed relatively stable, with new businesses opening at roughly the same rate that others have closed. The more persistent

When a shop closes, its loyal customers tend to find their way to other local options, and the shops that remain often see that reflected in new faces coming through the door. The rise of e-bikes has added to the service picture as well.

E-bikes require firmware updates and specialized maintenance that no online retailer can provide. Wheel Sport, a local shop with locations in South Spokane and Spokane Valley, reported 65 percent of sales last year were e-bikes.

Wheel Sport has been part of the Spokane cycling community since 1972, making it one of the longestrunning bike retailers in the region.

The shop operates two locations, one at 3020 S. Grand Blvd. in South Spokane and another at 606 N. Sullivan Rd. in Spokane Valley. Chad Ohman, the Valley store manager, has spent most of his working life in bike shops and knows the local riding landscape well, including his favorite trail, Iller Creek. Since The Bike Hub closed, Wheel Sport has welcomed some of those customers.

Chad said it is sad to see a great bike shop go, but the bike culture in the area remains strong. The shop orients itself around serving

a diversity of riders, delivering an exceptional experience, and maintaining dependable staff.

Customers who purchase a bike from Wheel Sport receive priority service, and the staff can speak to practical local questions, like which tire treads hold up best on local terrain. Chad noted that many of his closest friendships grew out of conversations that started at the shop. For him, those relationships are the heart of the work.

Argonne Cycle, located at 3215 N. Argonne Rd. in Millwood, has been in business since 1978 and has operated out of its current location since 1986. Owner Paul Edwards, describes the shop as basic and traditional, the kind of place built around honest service and fair prices. Edwards is a bike mechanic first, and the shop has long prioritized repairs and parts over retail volume. Services include tuneups, flat tire fixes, full bike repair, and both e-bike sales and service.

The shop does some advertising, but Edwards relies heavily on word of mouth, which speaks to the trust he has built with customers over nearly five decades. He confirmed the pattern that shaped recent years: pandemic demand drove sales up, suppliers over-ordered, and then the correction came. Argonne Cycle has navigated that stretch by staying focused on what it has always done well, high-quality services.

Mojo Cyclery, located at 1405 N. Argonne Rd. in Spokane Valley, has been open since 2017. Owneroperator Morgan Johnson brings more than 20 years of experience in the bicycle industry to the shop.

Mojo offers full-service repair, professional bike fitting, and sales, and has established a clear identity within the local market as the home of gravel riding. That kind of focus helps riders who are looking for expertise in a specific discipline find a shop that speaks their language.

Spring has always been the season when cyclists start thinking about getting back out on the trail, and it is also the moment when a tune-up matters most after a bike has sat through the winter. The loss of The Bike Hub is being felt, and the response from the community made clear how much the shop meant to the people who walked through its doors. Fortunately, cyclists at every level, from beginners to longtime riders, can still find knowledgeable staff and genuine service close to home. Wheel Sport, with more than 50 years behind it, Mojo Cyclery, with a growing reputation since 2017, and Argonne Cycle, a neighborhood shop built on trust and experience, are all ready to help riders get back out on the road.

The cycling community here is still gathering, still riding, and still supported by shops that care about keeping it that way.

By Stacey Goddard, librarian

Spokane County Library District (SCLD)

Not everyone is able to make it through the traditional education system to graduation. There are countless reasons someone may decide to leave school before earning their high school diploma—perhaps to take care of a sick parent, help support younger siblings, or to work full time to support themselves.

Whatever the reason, today there are options available for earning a high school diploma, no matter how old you are or when you last worked on a school assignment.

One of those options is an accredited educational program offered by the library, called “Gale Presents: Excel Adult High

entirely online. This includes all lectures, assignments, quizzes, and tests. Participants can complete the course work at the times that work best for them and their busy lives. This is called asynchronous learning, meaning that there are no set times when a student needs to be online to complete any of the work.

Excel also has a robust support system. Enrolled participants are assigned a success coach, get help ordering transcripts and transferring credits, get free tutoring support, and more.

Excel also offers help for Englishlanguage learners (ELL) and other accessibility tools to help students.

Since SCLD launched this program in the fall of 2023, six participants graduated and

time-management skills, and be comfortable with technology.

Applicants must meet initial requirements to apply. These requirements include residing in SCLD’s service area, which is Spokane County excluding the incorporated cities of Liberty Lake and Spokane. Additionally, applicants must have successfully completed 8th grade and be 21 years of age or older.

To start the application process, visit the Excel Adult High School website at https:// excelhighschool.org/library/ scld. Once there, click on the “Get Started” button.

Next, applicants are invited to complete an online prerequisite course within two weeks. This course gives the applicant an opportunity to see if online learning is a good fit.

Anyone who does not have access to a computer or mobile device with internet access can reserve a computer at any of our 10 SCLD libraries. Visit scld.org/reserve-a-computer, or call 509.893.8400 if you need assistance.

Passing the prerequisite course advances applicants to the next step: a one-on-one interview with a librarian. Then, based on the outcome of the interview, the applicant may be invited to enroll in Excel Adult High School.

If Excel Adult High School sounds like a good fit for you, I encourage you to learn more and begin the application process!
