Life after leukemia 27-year-old is back to work at pharmacy after unexpected battle with cancer By Jim Ryan Splash Contributor
When Kenny Zachow entered his last year of pharmacy school at the University of Montana in 2010, the last thing he had on his mind was a diagnosis of cancer. It was on a short three-hour drive back home to Spokane Valley that Zachow began to notice something wasn’t right. He started to experience blurry vision in his left eye. “I was in the middle of one of my clinical rotations, and I was coming back for Thanksgiving,” he explained. “Luckily, I happened to be in Spokane at the time. I went into the hospital, and that’s when everything started.” Zachow was a young man, just 25, who kept himself in great shape by running, lifting weights and playing almost every sport. When he was at East Valley High School, he was an all-league basketball standout. “I was one of those guys you would never think something like this would happen to,” he said. “When I got home during Thanksgiving, I went to urgent care here in the Valley, and they couldn’t find anything

That’s when they took my blood and found the leukemia.” According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 47,150 new cases of leukemia are expected to be diagnosed in the United States in 2012, with 1,050 being found here in Washington State. The lab did genetic testing on him and found he had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). According to the National Marrow Donor Program, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is a fast-growing cancer of the white blood cells. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that the body uses to fight infections. In ALL, the bone marrow makes lots of unformed cells called blasts that normally would develop

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we’ve got you covered.
Valley Hospital Center for Women’s Imaging One out of every eight women will develop breast cancer. But statistics show more women survive this diagnosis when it is detected and treated early. According to the American Cancer Society, mammograms remain one of the most effective methods for early detection. If you are 40 or older, or are considered to be at risk, Valley Hospital encourages you to have a mammogram once a year – starting now.
To schedule your mammogram, call 509-473-5483. For more information, visit SpokaneValleyHospital.com.
Appointments are on a first-come, first-serve basis. A physician order is not required but the patient must provide a physician’s name when an appointment is made. If the patient does not have a physician, a list will be provided for the patient’s selection. All mammogram reports will be sent to the physician and follow-ups are the responsibility of the patient.

into lymphocytes. However, the blasts are abnormal, do not develop and cannot fight off infections. Thus, the number of abnormal cells (or leukemia cells) grows quickly, crowding out the normal red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets the body needs. Zachow was immediately admitted to the hospital and spent the next month there taking chemotherapy and getting his blood count stabilized. He was fortunate to go into remission after the first seven days but had to spend the next three weeks hospitalized because of his blood counts and the fatigue caused by the chemotherapy. “With the testing they did, they found I had the bad genetics for ALL and that required a bone marrow transplant,” Zachow said. He traveled to Seattle in the summer of 2011, where he received the transplant, spending almost four months at the University of Washington Medical Center. Now, after two years he is showing no signs of a recurrence, but explained the accepted benchmark for being truly cancer free is five years. “If I make it to five years without the leukemia coming back, I will most likely die of getting hit by a car or a heart attack — something not anywhere close to cancer,” he smiled. He said that most people who go through a bone marrow transplant don’t go back to work for almost a year, but he had no side effects or graph versus host disease, and he started working as a fulltime pharmacist at Savon Pharmacy in the Liberty Lake Albertsons store in April 2012, about six months following his transplant. Looking back at his ordeal over the past two years, he considers it an “eye-opener.” “It was one of those things where I was so healthy and it was never going to happen to me,” he said. “Then all it took was the oncologist coming into my room, looking at me and saying: ‘You have leukemia.’ What do you do? It changes every aspect of your life.” Now that he is out of treatment and cancer free for the past two years, he said he looks at life quite differently, including spending more time with his wife, Katie, and his son, Keygé Parks, and cherishing the support he has received from them, the rest of his family and his friends. “Support is so huge,” he said. “I can’t imagine going through what I did without my family and friends. Some people aren’t so lucky to have such a support system. The journey itself is so hard; I don’t know how somebody could do it alone.” He explained he never took his family

and friends for granted, but he now appreciates every second with them, especially going to the park with his son, who was born the month before he was diagnosed. “My son was my rock through it all,” Zachow said. “I didn’t get to see him much through the whole thing because I wasn’t supposed to see a whole lot of people, but having him there was awesome.” Katie, his wife of five years, said that Kenny’s diagnosis made her appreciate life even more and realize how valuable it is. Her advice to someone who has a husband or wife diagnosed with cancer is to stay strong and to be optimistic. “It’s scary when you first hear it, but people beat cancer all the time,” she said. Katie also said that while it is important for a husband or wife to support their spouse, it is just as important for the caregiver to take care of themselves. She said caregivers are of no help to anyone if they let the stress of the ordeal affect their health. “Ask for help so you don’t get overwhelmed,” she said. “Do something with your friends, go shopping or get a massage. Have an outlet for yourself.” Looking back on his entire cancer experience, Zachow feels blessed that he is now able to help and counsel people who are newly diagnosed or traveling the cancer journey. “Half of it is attitude and mental,” he explained. “There is so much your body can do and so much of which you don’t have control. From the point you are diagnosed, you feel you’ve lost control of everything. Up until that point I could work out, I could push my body, I could basically do whatever I wanted to do. Then, when you’re told you have cancer, you lose control and you’re kind of going with the wind. You have to stay positive; the mental aspect is huge and so is the support system.” For Zachow, one aspect of that support system is the community of Liberty Lake. He points to the fundraiser at a local restaurant that helped him pay for the cost of his bone marrow transplant. He also praises the support of his co-workers at Savon Pharmacy, who he considers a second family. Zachow encourages those going through the cancer battle to contact him, even while he is at work, if they are seeking guidance or some insight into how they can get through their disease. “It’s hard enough to find somebody who wants to talk about their cancer experience, but as a pharmacist I do know a lot about the drugs and the whole cancer thing already,” he said. “I consider myself a good resource, both medically and personally, for people going through this disease.”

MEETING REQUIREMENTS OF PERMIT COMES WITH SET OF CHALLENGES • UPGRADING THE PLANT: The Liberty Lake Sewer and Water District board heard an engineering presentation at its Oct. 17 with a variety of alternatives and cost estimates associated with meeting the requirements of the district's permit. Allison Esvelt of Spokane's Esvelt Environmental Engineering showed a comparison of options and suggested a submerged membrane filtration system may be the district's best bet. The estimated capital cost of such an upgrade, in 2016 dollars, was $12.5 million. • AN EYE TO THE ALTERNATIVES: While the plant upgrade will make significant gains in removing phosphorus from the reclaimed water the district is discharging, it will still fall short when the permit's strict requirements go into effect in 2021, the Esvelt report showed. Ammonia-nitrogen limits would also be exceeded by about 2030, according to Esvelt's estimates. LLSWD General Manager Lee Mellish said that while the requirements were "the most stringent permits in the country," many other communities are also dealing with similar issues. He said it gives him hope that not only might technology "catch up with all these requirements," but the demand might help keep the costs from soaring out of control. The alternative, of course, to meeting standards for discharging into a river is to no longer discharge into the river. The Esvelt report estimated the cost of two "purple pipe" options the district is considering. Using the reclaimed water for irrigation at Liberty Lake golf courses would have an estimated 2020 project cost of $13.7 million, chiefly because of the roads that would have to be torn up and repaired to deliver the pipe. Less expensive is a $7.7 million estimate to pipe the water to the Saltese area to be used in a wetlands creation project the county is involved in. Purple pipe for both options is already being laid, mostly as a "piggyback" addition to projects that arise. • HOW TO PAY FOR IT: Mellish said an updated rate study may be ready as soon as the district's next board meeting. He cautioned that estimates in the Esvelt report showing sewer rates increase by nearly 70 percent in the next 10 years were very preliminary. Commissioners at the meeting labeled the increases lower than anticipated and lower than what is likely to happen to neighboring systems.

LLSWD faces difficult mission Despite challenges, officials say new commissioner will have time to get up to speed By Josh Johnson Splash Staff Writer
The mission of a new Liberty Lake Sewer and Water District commissioner, should you choose to accept it, includes the following: • Improve the process that transforms sewage entering the LLSWD plant into Class A water pure enough to meet new and stringent permit standards — even though technology doesn't currently exist that can pull this off. • Consider alternatives for some or all of this reclaimed water that would keep it from being discharged into the river, such as irrigation — even though the infrastructure for executing this plan is not in place. • And find a way to pay for it — even though significant rate increases for you and your neighbors may only represent part of the solution. LLSWD leaders are looking for someone who can hear a "mission impossible" message like this — and not self-destruct in five seconds. "There are a lot of responsibilities, but that's OK, that's part of what you're taking on," LLSWD Commissioner Steve Skipworth said. "It's just serving the people of our community. I've done it now for six years, and it can be weighing for sure, but at the same time you can be pretty proud of our community." Skipworth and Commissioner Tom Agnew will be selecting a replacement for Frank L. Boyle, who was in his 20th year of service as an elected commissioner — the longest tenure in that role in LLSWD history — when he died Sept. 28. Applications are due by 4 p.m. Nov. 9, the same time Agnew and Skipworth have called a special meeting to review candidates. From that review, finalists will be invited to be interviewed at the board's monthly meeting, which has been moved to 4 p.m. Nov. 14. LLSWD leaders have emphasized a proactive approach to stay in front of the permit deadlines and requirements in order to keep all options on the table, including options that may not exist yet. Because of this, Agnew and Skipworth emphasized that whoever is selected as the new commissioner will have plenty of time and support in getting up to speed on the issues and doesn't necessarily have to come to the job with fully formed background knowledge.
See LLSWD, page 16

PERMIT DEADLINES The Liberty Lake Sewer and Water District's waste discharge permit issued last year requires it to remove phosphorus and other toxins from the reclaimed water it puts into the Spokane River at levels the current plant can't accomplish. The permit process impacted all entities that discharge treated effluent into the Spokane River, and the environmental requirements in the permits that were issued went well beyond the capabilities of the systems currently in place. The district, therefore, is planning a "phase
two" upgrade to its reclaimed water plant (the first was completed in 2006) that would enable it to improve its capability to remove phosphorus from the discharge. Along the way, the district must meet the permit's required deadlines, including: • Submit construction plans for phase two plant upgrade: OCT. 1, 2014 • Complete construction of phase two plant upgrade: MARCH 1, 2018 • Dial in the upgrade so that the discharge meets the stringent requirements of the permit: MARCH 1, 2021

CV boys bring home regional championship By Shaun Brown Splash Contributor
At Saturday’s Regional Cross Country meet in Richland, the Central Valley High School boys team demonstrated why they are in the running for a state championship this coming weekend. Spectators were treated to a blue wave as the Bears maintained their pack attack, charging through the first mile and up the hill all together. As the team moved into the second mile, senior Logan Giese and junior Corey Hunter began to pull away, keeping their focus on the leaders. Midway through the third mile, sophomore Spencer Jensen closed the gap on his teammates, moving into second for Central Valley. Giese turned on high gear as he came into the finishing stretch, passing Travis Thorne of Ferris to place fourth overall with a time of 15.32.3, which is 17 seconds faster than his previous time on the Richland course. Jensen followed in ninth place, second for the Bears with 15.52.2. And then the rest of the blue wave rushed over the finish line; Hunter in 11th at 15.59.6, Matt Hommel in 13th at 16.05, Colton Pegram in 15th with a 16.06.4, Briton Demars in 17th with 16.10.1, and Austin Seely in 20th with 16.15.5. With only a 43-second gap between Giese and Seely, the Bears are a formidable big meet team. The Bears were the only team to put all seven runners in the top 20, and the team won the regional championships with a score of 52 points. Thur 11/1, Liberty Lake Splash

The blue wave will return to the Tri-Cities on Saturday to face off against the top teams from around the state.
Girls finish fourth With wet grass and rainclouds threatening, the CV girls cross country team took the starting line at the regional meet in Richland, hoping to earn a top-two team finish and a trip to the state meet. Brielle Crump, a freshman from Liberty Lake who has led the team this season, got out to a fast start, hoping to hang with the lead pack. Senior teammates Alexandria Moore and Skye Sanders came close behind early in the race, with Sophomores Sarah White and Sydney Orr joining them. Kayla Boyer, also a freshman, ran her signature race, coming from behind in the last mile to secure 13th place overall and first for CV with a time of 19.33.7. Boyer’s time was 37 seconds faster than her last performance on the Richland course. Crump, who struggled late in the race, finished in 14th with 19.34.3. Moore ran a 19.45.6 to take 16th, and White came 20th with Sanders just behind in 21st. Sydney Orr and Rachel Casey earned 34th and 37th, respectively, to round out the Bears varsity efforts. For the Lady Bears, owning the GSL championship was not enough to secure the top-two team finish needed for a state berth. The team finished a heartbreaking fourth, behind two teams it had beaten multiple times earlier in the season.

Elder Rehkow reflects on son’s kick By Mike Vlahovich Splash Contributor
It proved fortuitous that Austin Rehkow’s record 67-yard field goal a couple weeks ago came on a Thursday. Had it been a day later like most football games, his parents, Freddie and Kim, would have missed it. Friday, they began a cruise to the eastern Caribbean. “I save up my personal days knowing I’ll be gone so much during the basketball season,” said Freddie Rehkow, the Central Valley High School teacher and girls basketball coach. “Every two years we get away and relax before basketball starts up.” The trip wasn’t entirely relaxing. They got caught in what became Hurricane Sandy, and it took an extra day to make port. “It got a little crazy,” Freddie said of 15-foot swells. “It was one of (the cruise line’s) bigger ships, but it was up and down and 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 cruise for Freddie was trying to access email during the hullabaloo over Austin’s kick seen ’round the country. “People were emailing and setting up interviews,” Freddie said. Austin, he said, never has been one to seek the limelight, but has since had 740 friend requests on Facebook. “He was very adamant that it was about the team,” the elder Rehkow said. “For him it was just another kick. He said, ‘honestly Dad, I wanted to give it a try.’” Afterwards, Austin wrote on

sports Facebook and made sure the special team’s unit got its due, naming them all. It’s been “cool” Freddie said, but added that each of the boys and girls teams finishing second at state — other than losing the title game — was more special for the family.
November means CV time If it’s November it must be high school fall sports postseason, and Central Valley teams once more will be well represented: Cross Country — Saturday the District 5-8 champion boys are racing for a trophy at the State 4A meet. CV edged Lewis and Clark 52-59, both qualifying for state. Logan Giese (fourth) and Spencer Jensen (ninth) were top-10 placers. Girls soccer — On Tuesday, the district champion Bears played against a team from the Mid-Columbia Conference for a 4A state berth Volleyball — Second in district, CV’s volleyball team on Saturday plays against the MCC in the regional tournament that determines state qualifiers. Football — No playoff this year for the Bears, but this might have been almost as satisfying as last year’s trip to the state quarterfinals. There was last week’s win over previously unbeaten Gonzaga Prep, and Rehkow’s earlier field goal. CV would love to have had its season-opener against Ferris back.

Citizenship comes with responsibilities, privileges By Dan Dunne Splash guest column
Think for a moment about a club you know of or want to be a part of — and what being a member of that club is like. For some, that may be a sports team, a school or a tightknit group of friends. Becoming a part of that club takes a certain measure of effort, and being part of it provides rewards. When we consider the political bands which connect us with one another as a sort of club, we refer to the quality of being in that club as citizenship. Citizenship begins at a local level, like being a part of the neighborhood you live in. It extends to a town or city, and on a grand scale, you are a citizen of the state and country which you call home. Being a member or citizen of these “clubs” grants you an amazing set of privileges and rights, but demands your participation. Being a part of the neighborhood you live in may not have a formal definition, but the best of neighborhoods have character and qualities people are proud of. Though “Browne’s Addition” or “South Hill” may not be as well-known as “Hyde Park” or “Capitol Hill,” people use these names with pride and actively want to be recognized as having a home or business there. Being a part of a great neighborhood means taking care of it by doing things like picking up trash, being friendly to your neighbor and participating in activities and events which make it the place you want to live or work. Your home and school is located in a city and county, and because of that you get an amazing set of services provided by those municipal organizations. Cities and counties provide law enforcement and fire departments, utilities like electrical power and water, and even parks and libraries. Membership or citizenship in these organizations requires obeying local laws and paying appropriate taxes on things like owning property and sales transactions. Citizenship in the state and country in which we live provides amazing benefits and privileges, some of which we take for granted. The 14th Amendment of our nation’s constitution defines: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of
the State wherein they reside.” Membership — citizenship — in the United States is a privilege which millions of people around the world wish they could obtain. Simply stated, being a citizen of our nation provides you the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our constitution declares that you are free to speak and write what you wish; you may choose to follow a religion of your choice; you may read and publish the ideas of your choice. We as a people, acting through our government, will protect you from harm: from evildoers within or beyond our borders. You will be given justice by rule of law and judged by a jury of your peers. You will be rescued if you are injured, fed if you are hungry and given an education. There are a small set of responsibilities and duties which come with these rights and privileges. You are responsible to vote according to your will. Your vote implies your responsibility to be well informed of the issues which you are asked to vote on. You are responsible when called upon to support our justice system: to serve as a jury member or to serve as a witness. It is your duty to obey laws — the rules of our country, our state and of our cities and towns. It is also your duty to pay taxes, and when and if called upon, to join our military in defense of our nation. To some extent, citizenship also calls for patriotism: to speak and act with pride for our nation. Citizenship at local levels, regional levels and national levels provides amazing rights and benefits in exchange for participation in a small but important set of actions. Be sure to lead and encourage those around you to live up to their citizenship and participate!

LLSWD Continued from page 12
"The job itself in the best of circumstances takes you a while to get your arms around," Agnew said. "I wouldn't expect anyone to expect of themselves to come up to speed immediately with (the district's) challenges." Not that a love of the community, a basic knowledge of LLSWD challenges and a few spare hours available wouldn't help the candidate. "It will be wonderful if they are independently wealthy and didn't have to work so they could spend all of their time," Agnew said with a laugh. "It's like so many public jobs; it will consume the time available, it seems. But the main thing is someone who really wants to do it, and if someone really wants to do it that usually suggests their heart and their head is in the right place." The job of LLSWD commissioner pays
a stipend of $104 per meeting, of which there is one scheduled per month. Additional special meetings are sometimes part of the commissioner's job and also pay the same stipend. Skipworth said background in how utilities operate was a helpful plus for him when he joined the board six years ago after 32 years in the utility business. He also emphasized that a business background would help the candidate, because several decisions regarding budgeting, rates and financing will need to be made, something LLSWD General Manager Lee Mellish also emphasized. "The next phase of (upgrading the LLSWD treatment facility) could be $12 million," Mellish said. "Where will that money come from? Partly from rates and connection fees or revenue bonds or what? These are all the decisions that are going to have to be made down the road, and the board and its new commissioner are going to have to make those decisions."

Spokane Bridge: An Inland Northwest original By Tom McArthur
Genesis of Liberty Lake
For the Liberty Lake Historical Society
Before there was a Spokane, before there was a Spokane Falls, there was a Spokane Bridge — the first pioneer settlement in the Intermountain West. Most presentday residents of the area probably could not tell you what caused it to be, where it was, what caused most of it to disappear and where parts of it still are. Let’s take these one at a time.
A series from the Liberty Lake Historical Society, appearing in the first Splash issue of each month in 2012.
What caused it to be? Imagine yourself a feather, floating down the Spokane River from its headwaters at Lake Coeur d’Alene. After you pass through the dramatic gorge at Post Falls, you return to a leisurely pace as the river widens, the banks flatten and you begin to meander through Liberty Lake and onto the Spokane Valley. This is where pioneers began to settle about the time of the American Civil War (1861-1865) — more than a decade before settlement would begin downstream at the next great falls, Spokane. The first pioneer to settle in the area was Antoine Plante. He first appeared in the written records of the area in 1852. Plante was typical of the early whites who came through here, attracted by the area’s rich natural resources. Plante settled his family in a crook of the Spokane River, on the north bank (where Plante’s Ferry Park marks the site today), in 1854. Plante’s brother-in-law, Camille Langtu, settled directly across from them, on the south bank. As the stream of trappers and miners through the area grew, all needing to cross the river on their way toward visions of silver in the mines of north Idaho, Plante and his brother-in-law saw a business opportunity right outside their doors. They opened a ferry business with fees of $4 for each wagon, carriage or vehicle with two animals attached (about $100 today) or $1.50 for a man and horse (about $35 today). It didn’t take long for others to see a business opportunity in helping travelers cross the Spokane River.
Was there really a bridge? Yes, there really was a bridge at Spokane Bridge. The first bridge across the Spokane River was built in 1864 and operated as a toll bridge by three business partners (Joe Herring, Tim Lee and Ned Jordan). It was strategically placed nearer the famous Mullan Road than Plante’s Ferry, approximately where the new state line bridge was recently completed. The fee to cross was only $1 — no matter what you were bringing across. The bridge funneled people and equipment through the Spokane River valley up to gold and silver mines in the mountains of Idaho, Montana and British Columbia.

The steel bridge at Spokane Bridge is pictured in this 1913 photo. This bridge, which replaced four 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 company milled, on average, a dozen railroad cars full of box shooks (the thin, wide boards used to build fruit boxes) per week. Everything in this photo, between the river and the present-day site of the Rockin’ B Ranch in the far background, has given way to Interstate 90.

In fact, when U.S. Highway 10 was commissioned in 1926 (from Seattle to Detroit), it used the bridge at Spokane Bridge to cross the river.

Three pieces of Spokane Bridge remain today. The easiest to see are the north and south concrete abutments from the 1911 bridge. Park your car at Gateway Park (state line exit 299) and take a short walk to the river. Here, you are standing in the middle of the old U.S. 10 where it crossed the Spokane River. Look across the river and you’ll spot the old Cowley place in the trees. It still holds a commanding view of Spokane Bridge and the old U.S. 10 from its perch on the north side of the river. The Cowley House is among the oldest surviving structures from the area’s pioneer days. The property is fenced and used for storage. Head back under the freeway, and you’ll see the old Humphreys place, shaded by a grove of trees on your left — now the Rockin’ B Ranch Event Center. The original 1908 homesteader’s cabin and 1910 farmhouse are visible from Spokane Bridge Road. The Rockin’ B Depot, part of the ranch’s western melodrama set, is the only structure in the area that still bears a sign for where it was and where it is: Spokane Bridge. Tom McArthur is the ranch foreman and historian for the Rockin’ B Ranch at Spokane Bridge. He can be reached at ranchforeman@ earthlink.net. McArthur previously was the communications director and historian for the Davenport Hotel. He has produced several historical documentaries for KSPS-TV, including “Remember When: Nat Park,” and “Remembering Spokane.”
