Spokane River lovers can never rest. Seems like we just finished worrying about the dang oxygen-gobbling phosphorus issue when concerns about toxic chemicals and heavy metals have come to the surface. See our Saturday edit .

Some good news in all of this? Lots of people know, use and love the river. And some good news for us here. In a recent Center for Justice survey, participants said they depend most on newspaper stories to get information about the river. See survey.

When was the last time you walked, swam, biked, boated or gazed at the river?
