Please call to RSVP:LEUKEMIAContinued from page 2into lymphocytes. However, the blastsare abnormal, do not develop and cannotfight off infections. Thus, the number ofabnormal cells (or leukemia cells) growsquickly, crowding out the normal redblood cells, white blood cells and plateletsthe body needs.Zachow was immediately admitted tothe hospital and spent the next monththere taking chemotherapy and gettinghis blood count stabilized. He was fortunateto go into remission after the firstseven days but had to spend the nextthree weeks hospitalized because of hisblood counts and the fatigue caused bythe chemotherapy.“With the testing they did, they foundI had the bad genetics for ALL and thatrequired a bone marrow transplant,”Zachow said.He traveled to Seattle in the summer of2011, where he received the transplant,spending almost four months at the Universityof Washington Medical Center.Now, after two years he is showing nosigns of a recurrence, but explained theaccepted benchmark for being truly cancerfree is five years.“If I make it to five years without theleukemia coming back, I will most likelydie of getting hit by a car or a heart attack— something not anywhere close tocancer,” he smiled.He said that most people who gothrough a bone marrow transplant don’tgo back to work for almost a year, but hehad no side effects or graph versus hostdisease, and he started working as a fulltimepharmacist at Savon Pharmacy inthe Liberty Lake Albertsons store in April2012, about six months following histransplant.Looking back at his ordeal over the pasttwo years, he considers it an “eye-opener.”“It was one of those things where I wasso healthy and it was never going to happento me,” he said. “Then all it took wasthe oncologist coming into my room,looking at me and saying: ‘You have leukemia.’What do you do? It changes everyaspect of your life.”Now that he is out of treatment andcancer free for the past two years, he saidhe looks at life quite differently, includingspending more time with his wife, Katie,and his son, Keygé Parks, and cherishingthe support he has received from them,the rest of his family and his friends.“Support is so huge,” he said. “I can’timagine going through what I did withoutmy family and friends. Some peoplearen’t so lucky to have such a support system.The journey itself is so hard; I don’tknow how somebody could do it alone.”He explained he never took his familyProfilesand friends for granted, but he now appreciatesevery second with them, especiallygoing to the park with his son, whowas born the month before he was diagnosed.“My son was my rock through it all,”Zachow said. “I didn’t get to see himmuch through the whole thing because Iwasn’t supposed to see a whole lot of people,but having him there was awesome.”Katie, his wife of five years, said thatKenny’s diagnosis made her appreciatelife even more and realize how valuableit is.Her advice to someone who has a husbandor wife diagnosed with cancer is tostay strong and to be optimistic.“It’s scary when you first hear it, butpeople beat cancer all the time,” she said.Katie also said that while it is importantfor a husband or wife to supporttheir spouse, it is just as important for thecaregiver to take care of themselves. Shesaid caregivers are of no help to anyone ifthey let the stress of the ordeal affect theirhealth.“Ask for help so you don’t get overwhelmed,”she said. “Do something withyour friends, go shopping or get a massage.Have an outlet for yourself.”Looking back on his entire cancer experience,Zachow feels blessed that he isnow able to help and counsel people whoare newly diagnosed or traveling the cancerjourney.“Half of it is attitude and mental,” heexplained. “There is so much your bodycan do and so much of which you don’thave control. From the point you are diagnosed,you feel you’ve lost control ofeverything. Up until that point I couldwork out, I could push my body, I couldbasically do whatever I wanted to do.Then, when you’re told you have cancer,you lose control and you’re kind of goingwith the wind. You have to stay positive;the mental aspect is huge and so is thesupport system.”For Zachow, one aspect of that supportsystem is the community of Liberty Lake.He points to the fundraiser at a local restaurantthat helped him pay for the costof his bone marrow transplant. He alsopraises the support of his co-workers atSavon Pharmacy, who he considers a secondfamily.Zachow encourages those goingthrough the cancer battle to contact him,even while he is at work, if they are seekingguidance or some insight into howthey can get through their disease.“It’s hard enough to find somebodywho wants to talk about their cancer experience,but as a pharmacist I do know alot about the drugs and the whole cancerthing already,” he said. “I consider myselfa good resource, both medically andpersonally, for people going through thisdisease.”

12 • Nov. 1, 2012The Splashcover storyMEETING REQUIREMENTSOF PERMIT COMES WITHSET OF CHALLENGES• UPGRADING THE PLANT: The LibertyLake Sewer and Water District boardheard an engineering presentation at itsOct. 17 with a variety of alternatives andcost estimates associated with meetingthe requirements of the district'spermit. Allison Esvelt of Spokane's EsveltEnvironmental Engineering showed acomparison of options and suggested asubmerged membrane filtration systemmay be the district's best bet. The estimatedcapital cost of such an upgrade, in2016 dollars, was $12.5 million.• AN EYE TO THE ALTERNATIVES:While the plant upgrade will makesignificant gains in removing phosphorusfrom the reclaimed water the district isdischarging, it will still fall short whenthe permit's strict requirements go intoeffect in 2021, the Esvelt report showed.Ammonia-nitrogen limits would also beexceeded by about 2030, according toEsvelt's estimates.LLSWD General Manager Lee Mellishsaid that while the requirementswere "the most stringent permits in thecountry," many other communities arealso dealing with similar issues. He said itgives him hope that not only might technology"catch up with all these requirements,"but the demand might help keepthe costs from soaring out of control.The alternative, of course, to meetingstandards for discharging into a river isto no longer discharge into the river. TheEsvelt report estimated the cost of two"purple pipe" options the district is considering.Using the reclaimed water for irrigationat Liberty Lake golf courses wouldhave an estimated 2020 project cost of$13.7 million, chiefly because of the roadsthat would have to be torn up and repairedto deliver the pipe. Less expensive is a$7.7 million estimate to pipe the water tothe Saltese area to be used in a wetlandscreation project the county is involved in.Purple pipe for both options is alreadybeing laid, mostly as a "piggyback" additionto projects that arise.• HOW TO PAY FOR IT: Mellish saidan updated rate study may be ready assoon as the district's next board meeting.He cautioned that estimates in the Esveltreport showing sewer rates increase bynearly 70 percent in the next 10 yearswere very preliminary. Commissioners atthe meeting labeled the increases lowerthan anticipated and lower than what islikely to happen to neighboring systems.LLSWD faces difficult missionDespite challenges, officialssay new commissioner willhave time to get up to speedBy Josh JohnsonSplash Staff WriterThe mission of a new Liberty LakeSewer and Water District commissioner,should you choose to accept it, includesthe following:• Improve the process that transformssewage entering the LLSWD plant intoClass A water pure enough to meet newand stringent permit standards — eventhough technology doesn't currently existthat can pull this off.• Consider alternatives for some or allof this reclaimed water that would keepit from being discharged into the river,such as irrigation — even though the infrastructurefor executing this plan is notin place.• And find a way to pay for it — eventhough significant rate increases for youand your neighbors may only representpart of the solution.LLSWD leaders are looking for someonewho can hear a "mission impossible"message like this — and not self-destructin five seconds."There are a lot of responsibilities, butthat's OK, that's part of what you're takingon," LLSWD Commissioner Steve Skipworthsaid. "It's just serving the people ofour community. I've done it now for sixyears, and it can be weighing for sure, butat the same time you can be pretty proudof our community."Skipworth and Commissioner TomAgnew will be selecting a replacement forFrank L. Boyle, who was in his 20th yearof service as an elected commissioner —the longest tenure in that role in LLSWDhistory — when he died Sept. 28. Applicationsare due by 4 p.m. Nov. 9, the sametime Agnew and Skipworth have calleda special meeting to review candidates.From that review, finalists will be invitedto be interviewed at the board's monthlymeeting, which has been moved to 4 p.m.Nov. 14.LLSWD leaders have emphasized a proactiveapproach to stay in front of the permitdeadlines and requirements in orderto keep all options on the table, includingoptions that may not exist yet. Because ofthis, Agnew and Skipworth emphasizedthat whoever is selected as the new commissionerwill have plenty of time andsupport in getting up to speed on the issuesand doesn't necessarily have to cometo the job with fully formed backgroundknowledge.See LLSWD, page 16Splash photo by Josh JohnsonLiberty Lake Sewer and Water District Chief Operator Dan Grogg checks the gauges on ablower housed in a building beside the aeration basins at the district's reclaimed water plant.PERMIT DEADLINESThe Liberty Lake Sewer and Water District'swaste discharge permit issued last yearrequires it to remove phosphorus and othertoxins from the reclaimed water it puts intothe Spokane River at levels the currentplant can't accomplish. The permit processimpacted all entities that discharge treatedeffluent into the Spokane River, and the environmentalrequirements in the permits thatwere issued went well beyond the capabilitiesof the systems currently in place.The district, therefore, is planning a "phasetwo" upgrade to its reclaimed water plant(the first was completed in 2006) thatwould enable it to improve its capability toremove phosphorus from the discharge.Along the way, the district must meet thepermit's required deadlines, including:• Submit construction plans for phase twoplant upgrade: OCT. 1, 2014• Complete construction of phase twoplant upgrade: MARCH 1, 2018• Dial in the upgrade so that the dischargemeets the stringent requirements of thepermit: MARCH 1, 2021

Had itbeen a day later like most footballgames, his parents, Freddieand Kim, would have missed it.Friday, they began a cruise tothe eastern Caribbean.“I save up my personal daysknowing I’ll be gone so muchduring the basketball season,”said Freddie Rehkow, the CentralValley High School teacherand girls basketball coach. “Everytwo years we get away andrelax before basketball startsup.”The trip wasn’t entirely relaxing.They got caught in what becameHurricaneSandy, and it took an extraday to make port.“It got a little crazy,” Freddiesaid of 15-foot swells. “It wasone of (the cruise line’s) biggerships, but it was up and downand all around. The last 2½ days,people were getting seasick.”He said he wasn’t too worried,but that Kim got a little nervous.The hardest part of the cruisefor Freddie was trying to accessemail during the hullabalooover Austin’s kick seen ’roundthe country.“People were emailing andsetting up interviews,” Freddiesaid.Austin, he said, never hasbeen one to seek the limelight,but has since had 740 friend requestson Facebook.“He was very adamant that itwas about the team,” the elderRehkow said. “For him it wasjust another kick. He said, ‘honestlyDad, I wanted to give it atry.’”Afterwards, Austin wrote onsportsFacebook and made sure thespecial team’s unit got its due,naming them all.It’s been “cool” Freddie said,but added that each of the boysand girls teams finishing secondat state — other than losing thetitle game — was more specialfor the family.November meansCV timeIf it’s November it must behigh school fall sports postseason,and Central Valley teamsonce more will be well represented:Cross Country — Saturdaythe District 5-8 champion boysare racing for a trophy at theState 4A meet.

opinion16 • Nov. 1, 2012The SplashCitizenship comes withresponsibilities, privilegesBy Dan DunneSplash guest columnThink for a moment about a club youknow of or want to be a part of — andwhat being a member of that club is like.For some, that may be a sports team, aschool or a tightknit group of friends.Becoming a part of that club takes a certainmeasure of effort, and being part ofit provides rewards.When we consider the political bandswhich connect us with one another as asort of club, we refer to the quality of beingin that club as citizenship.Citizenship begins at a local level, likebeing a part of the neighborhood you livein. It extends to a town or city, and on agrand scale, you are a citizen of the stateand country which you call home. Beinga member or citizen of these “clubs”grants you an amazing set of privilegesand rights, but demands your participation.Being a part of the neighborhood youlive in may not have a formal definition,but the best of neighborhoods have characterand qualities people are proud of.Though “Browne’s Addition” or “SouthHill” may not be as well-known as “HydePark” or “Capitol Hill,” people use thesenames with pride and actively want to berecognized as having a home or businessthere. Being a part of a great neighborhoodmeans taking care of it by doingthings like picking up trash, being friendlyto your neighbor and participating inactivities and events which make it theplace you want to live or work.Your home and school is located in acity and county, and because of that youget an amazing set of services providedby those municipal organizations. Citiesand counties provide law enforcementand fire departments, utilities like electricalpower and water, and even parksand libraries. Membership or citizenshipin these organizations requires obeyinglocal laws and paying appropriate taxeson things like owning property and salestransactions.Citizenship in the state and country inwhich we live provides amazing benefitsand privileges, some of which we take forgranted. The 14th Amendment of ournation’s constitution defines: “All personsborn or naturalized in the United States,and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,are citizens of the United States and ofthe State wherein they reside.” Membership— citizenship — in the United Statesis a privilege which millions of peoplearound the world wish they could obtain.Simply stated, being a citizen of our nationprovides you the right to life, libertyand the pursuit of happiness. Our constitutiondeclares that you are free to speakand write what you wish; you may chooseto follow a religion of your choice; youmay read and publish the ideas of yourchoice. We as a people, acting throughour government, will protect you fromharm: from evildoers within or beyondour borders. You will be given justice byrule of law and judged by a jury of yourpeers. You will be rescued if you are injured,fed if you are hungry and given aneducation.There are a small set of responsibilitiesand duties which come with these rightsand privileges. You are responsible to voteaccording to your will. Your vote impliesyour responsibility to be well informed ofthe issues which you are asked to vote on.You are responsible when called upon tosupport our justice system: to serve as ajury member or to serve as a witness. It isyour duty to obey laws — the rules of ourcountry, our state and of our cities andtowns. It is also your duty to pay taxes,and when and if called upon, to join ourmilitary in defense of our nation. Tosome extent, citizenship also calls for patriotism:to speak and act with pride forour nation.Citizenship at local levels, regional levelsand national levels provides amazingrights and benefits in exchange for participationin a small but important set ofactions. Be sure to lead and encouragethose around you to live up to their citizenshipand participate!In Washington State — we vote by mail— be sure to mail or deposit your ballotin a ballot box by Nov. 6!Dan Dunne is a city of Liberty Lakecouncil member and board member forSpokane Area Youth Choirs.

Dunne is the father oftwo boys and a loving husband. He volunteershis time at Liberty Lake ElementarySchool, Greenacres Middle School andSpokane Public Radio. This column waswritten as part of a monthly series highlightingthe PACE (Partners AdvancingCharacter Education) trait of the month,which is “citizenship.”LLSWDContinued from page 12"The job itself in the best of circumstancestakes you a while to get your armsaround," Agnew said. "I wouldn't expectanyone to expect of themselves to come upto speed immediately with (the district's)challenges."Not that a love of the community, a basicknowledge of LLSWD challenges anda few spare hours available wouldn't helpthe candidate."It will be wonderful if they are independentlywealthy and didn't have to work sothey could spend all of their time," Agnewsaid with a laugh. "It's like so many publicjobs; it will consume the time available, itseems. But the main thing is someone whoreally wants to do it, and if someone reallywants to do it that usually suggests theirheart and their head is in the right place."The job of LLSWD commissioner paysa stipend of $104 per meeting, of whichthere is one scheduled per month. Additionalspecial meetings are sometimes partof the commissioner's job and also pay thesame stipend.Skipworth said background in howutilities operate was a helpful plus for himwhen he joined the board six years ago after32 years in the utility business. He alsoemphasized that a business backgroundwould help the candidate, because severaldecisions regarding budgeting, rates andfinancing will need to be made, somethingLLSWD General Manager Lee Mellishalso emphasized."The next phase of (upgrading the LLS-WD treatment facility) could be $12 million,"Mellish said. "Where will that moneycome from? Partly from rates and connectionfees or revenue bonds or what? Theseare all the decisions that are going to haveto be made down the road, and the boardand its new commissioner are going tohave to make those decisions."

The Splash Nov. 1, 2012 • 17Spokane Bridge: An Inland Northwest originalBy Tom McArthurFor the Liberty Lake Historical SocietyBefore there was a Spokane, before therewas a Spokane Falls, there was a SpokaneBridge — the first pioneer settlement inthe Intermountain West. Most presentdayresidents of the area probably couldnot tell you what caused it to be, where itwas, what caused most of it to disappearand where parts of it still are.Let’s take these one at a time.What caused it to be?Imagine yourself a feather, floating downthe Spokane River from its headwaters atLake Coeur d’Alene. After you pass throughthe dramatic gorge at Post Falls, you returnto a leisurely pace as the river widens, thebanks flatten and you begin to meanderthrough Liberty Lake and onto the SpokaneValley.This is where pioneers began to settleabout the time of the American Civil War(1861-1865) — more than a decade beforesettlement would begin downstream at thenext great falls, Spokane.The first pioneer to settle in the area wasAntoine Plante. He first appeared in thewritten records of the area in 1852. Plantewas typical of the early whites who camethrough here, attracted by the area’s richnatural resources. Plante settled his familyin a crook of the Spokane River, on the northbank (where Plante’s Ferry Park marks thesite today), in 1854. Plante’s brother-in-law,Camille Langtu, settled directly across fromthem, on the south bank.As the stream of trappers and minersthrough the area grew, all needing to crossthe river on their way toward visions of silverin the mines of north Idaho, Plante andhis brother-in-law saw a business opportunityright outside their doors. They openeda ferry business with fees of $4 for eachwagon, carriage or vehicle with two animalsattached (about $100 today) or $1.50 for aman and horse (about $35 today).It didn’t take long for others to see a businessopportunity in helping travelers crossthe Spokane River.Was there really a bridge?Yes, there really was a bridge at SpokaneBridge.The first bridge across the SpokaneRiver was built in 1864 and operated as atoll bridge by three business partners (JoeHerring, Tim Lee and Ned Jordan). It wasstrategically placed nearer the famous MullanRoad than Plante’s Ferry, approximatelywhere the new state line bridge was recentlycompleted. The fee to cross was only $1 —no matter what you were bringing across.The bridge funneled people and equipmentthrough the Spokane River valley up togold and silver mines in the mountains ofIdaho, Montana and British Columbia.Photos courtesy of the Spokane Valley Heritage MuseumThe steel bridge at Spokane Bridge is pictured in this 1913 photo. This bridge, which replacedfour previous wooden bridges at the site, was built in 1911.Below: The Spokane River (foreground) remains a constant in this view of Spokane Bridge.The Cranston Box Manufacturing Co., built in 1913, is shown south of the river. The companymilled, on average, a dozen railroad cars full of box shooks (the thin, wide boards used tobuild fruit boxes) per week. Everything in this photo, between the river and the present-daysite of the Rockin’ B Ranch in the far background, has given way to Interstate 90.A town soon surroundedthe new structure,first called PioneerBridge until most peoplejust began calling it SpokaneBridge. It becamethe first settlement in avast Inland Empire andboasted several firsts forthe area: the first store,the first house, the firsthotel and the first postoffice.Bridge partner TimLee became the firstpostmaster of SpokaneBridge in 1866, stampingletters in his store south of the bridge. In1870, the first census of the area counted 29people here. Spokane Bridge became a stopon the Pony Express in 1871, connectingThe Dalles, Oregon Territory, to Missoula,Montana Territory.HISTORYView it onlineEnter these coordinates intoGoogle Maps on your webbrowser to see the old SpokaneBridge site across theSpokane River: 47.698013,-117.051497. You can seewhere the 1911 steel versionof the bridge crossed as well asthe remnants of U.S. Highway10 that meandered north andeast from the bridge.In 1872, Michael Cowley (who emigratedalone from Irelandat the age of 15), establisheda general storeon the north side of theriver. Years later, in hismemoirs, Cowley describedthe early time ofSpokane Bridge as “stirringdays.”In 1880, the secondcensus of the area counted45 people here.Truth be told, therehave been five bridgesat Spokane Bridge. Thefirst four, built of wood,were successively washed away by seasonalhigh water. The fifth was built of steel in1911.In 1908, Joseph Humphreys established afarm on the south side of the river.

It still holdsa commanding view of Spokane Bridgeand the old U.S. 10 from its perch on thenorth side of the river. The Cowley Houseis among the oldest surviving structuresfrom the area’s pioneer days. The propertyis fenced and used for storage.Head back under the freeway, and you’llsee the old Humphreys place, shaded by agrove of trees on your left — now the Rockin’B Ranch Event Center.
