Quotes
Ben Luckett: I got a couple of things I... I need to talk about with you.
David: Yeah?
Ben Luckett: Yeah. I guess me and your grandma are going away, David.
David: Where to?
Ben Luckett: Well, that's not important. What's important is that when we get where we're going, we'll never be sick, we won't get any older and we won't ever die.
David: You're joking me, right?
Ben Luckett: No. No.
David: Would I be able to visit you and Grandma?
Ben Luckett: No. And we wouldn't be able to visit you, either. And that kind of bothers me.
David: I'd never see you again?
Ben Luckett: No.
David: When would you go, if you did?
Ben Luckett: Soon, my boy. Soon. And do you know where?
David: Where?
Ben Luckett: Look up. Outer space, my lad. Outer space.
David: Who's gonna take you to outer space?

Riverfront Park
Riverfront Rotary Fountain
The Riverfront Park Rotary Fountain is located on Howard Street at the South entrance to Riverfront Park. It is a popular attraction for beating the Summer heat. Kids love it!
Dedicated on September 1, 2005 to the people of Spokane and under the care of the Spokane Parks Department, the fountain is destined to be a popular attraction for many years to come. The Downtown Spokane Rotary Club 21 and the Spokane Parks Department worked together to make the fountain a reality. Financial support was also provided by numerous donors whose names appear around the fountain. Harold Balazs is the artist.
The fountain has five stainless steel columns that are 24 feet tall. These support a 30 foot diameter ring containing 40 overhead jets. The jets spray towards the middle of the fountain producing a dome of water and a waterfall in the fountain's center. Eight geysers shoot water upwards. The fountain also has dozens of mist jets, and the five boulders have jets that spray sideways. To conserve water, the fountain water is filtered and recirculated.
You can catch the fountain in action from Spring to Fall, 6 a.m. to midnight.

September 2, 2005 Christopher Rodkey Staff writer
Without a shred of patience, children who had been corralled for 30 minutes of speeches were set free Thursday in the gushing waters of Rotary Riverfront Fountain, squealing and shrieking as jets sprayed them from all directions.
"It's awesome!" said Logan Sandstrom, 8, shivering while his friends danced in the water. "I ran through and got pretty much cold."
The $1.4 million project, located next to the Looff Carousel and serving as an entrance to Riverfront Park, opened in a ceremony attended by city officials, business leaders and Rotary Club members.
"It's really a true testament to the spirit of this community and the spirit of Spokane," said Mayor Jim West.
