So you’d like to see art grow into different parts of the community?

Yeah, it seems like it’s all in one general area. It would be cool to expand it to different parts.

ecently, NPR’s Terry Gross interviewed Tim Arango on her show Fresh Air. Arango, chief of the New York Times’ bureau in Baghdad, is of the opinion that the unraveling of Iraq is entirely the result of George W. Bush’s reckless invasion and occupation. His list of reasons is long and convincing: the phony excuse for invading; the decision to fire the old Iraqi army; the decision to show progress by buying off the Sunnis (which the likes of Sen. John “Bomb, Bomb” McCain refers to as “winning”); promising the Sunnis a place in the new Iraq Shiite government but failing to deliver; the corrupt and incompetent Maliki administration; and finally, the failure of the new Iraqi army. After some $90 billion spent, courtesy of American taxpayers, the Iraqi army was touted as ready and waiting for a chance — which turned out to be a chance to turn and run.

Gross asked Arango to comment on President Obama’s performance. He observed that, after 2011, Obama prematurely took a hands-off stance to protect his preferred narrative that Iraq had been left in good shape. But Arango also observed that, without a lot more spending and ground troops sent back into harm’s way, more attentiveness wouldn’t have made much difference.

What Obama might have done, Arango suggested, was to put pressure on the Maliki government to make good on promises the Bush administration had made to the Sunnis. But then, in a resigned tone of voice, he again expressed doubt that such pressure would have made much difference.

O

bama’s strategy speech last week might have bought him time, but it wasn’t the speech that the American public needed to hear. We needed a blunter speech, a speech that actually confronted the grim defining circumstances and the historical realities. We needed a speech that recalled the wisdom of George Kennan, the American diplomat who associated “containment” more with diplomacy. He might have acknowledged the insights of foreign policy expert Andrew Bacevich, who recognized that America’s proclaimed post-World War II “world order” has been based largely on propaganda. It should have gone something like this: My fellow Americans: Because in 2003 America invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, while allowing bin Laden to escape, we have spent billions every year for more than a decade, and watched as several thousand Americans died. We were told there were WMDs, which it turns out, didn’t exist. We didn’t intend to create Shiite hegemony from Tehran to Baghdad, thereby inviting Sunni reaction from Syria, but that’s exactly what we did. We told ourselves that we had won over the Sunnis when we

merely had just bought them off. And we never considered the true impacts of the military’s pet euphemism, “collateral damage.”

For example, the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who have fled their homeland and the many thousands more killed.

America, we must finally accept, cannot effectively moderate centuries-old religious conflicts. We can apply economic pressure. We can provide humanitarian aid. We can work within alliances to impose sanctions and offer incentives. We can, and will, track down and eliminate those guilty of committing unspeakable, barbaric acts.

Could we be doing more? Maybe we could have bought some time had I sent more young people back into harm’s way — requiring America to spend even more billions. And let me bring these expenses into sharper perspective: Taken together, Iraq and Afghanistan annually have cost America more than the sum total of the entire Send comments to budgets of any number of editor@inlander.com. federal agencies. As recently as 2011, money spent in Iraq and Afghanistan equalled the total funding of HUD, the IRS, Veterans Affairs, the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Agriculture.

So, my fellow Americans, here is our dilemma: Should we once again use American military might, with all its attendant costs, to try to settle disputes that have been festering since about the 8th century — made all the worse by colonialism — or should we begin rebuilding at home, while continuing to strengthen those “old Europe” alliances my predecessor dismissed?

Apparently my detractors favor the former. I don’t. I see America’s strength first at home, and our influence abroad, while supported by a military force second to none, relying largely on diplomacy.

LETTERS

O

bama couldn’t deliver this speech for the same reasons that Richard Nixon couldn’t deliver a similar speech in 1969.

Had Nixon “declared victory and gone home,” he would have been denounced as “dishonoring the troops” and losing a war. So we stayed in Vietnam for another seven years. I recall Henry Kissinger once saying that we stayed in Vietnam to avoid being humiliated.

Obama is enough of a student of history to know foreign policy should not be conducted primarily to save face. Still, all the things he left unsaid leave me afraid that America may be looking at a version of the same dismal scenario today in the Middle East. n

COMMENT | PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Decoding Fall TV

BY TED S. McGREGOR JR.

A

re we not the most elaborately entertained generation ever? For proof, I give you the annual cornucopia of culture we call Fall TV. The television business is in the middle of a boom, and networks are pouring their cash into programming.

But is it really a golden age? For every engaging Fargo or Mad Men, there are at least two or three insults to our intelligence like Naked and Afraid. And do we really need a 19th season of Dancing With the Stars? Still, I’m going to take a shot at understanding America based on the shows we produce, consume and, ultimately, cancel.

NERDS RULE The Big Bang Theory and Elementary prove that being a socially awkward genius is where it’s at — you can deliver punch lines and solve murders. In real life, you can even overpay for an NBA team. Cultural Comment: We’ll all be working for someone like Sheldon eventually, so we might as well settle in. New Addition: Scorpion (debuts Monday, Sept. 22, 9 pm on CBS).

WOMEN ARE SMARTER The Good Wife, Homeland and even Veep prove women are better than men at most things — juggling kids, career, relationships and even controlling the remote control. Cultural Comment: We may still fail to pay women equally, but they’re winning the battle of the sexes.

New Addition: Bad Judge (debuts Thursday, Oct. 2, 9 pm on NBC).

TOPICAL WISECRACKING Mom, The Goldbergs, The Middle — everybody’s trying to duplicate that Modern Family formula. Cultural Comment: We tune in to our own particular tribe and identify with their/our goofy lives.

New Addition: Black-ish (debuts Wednesday, Sept. 24, 9:30 pm on ABC).

SOAP OPERAS, BASICALLY Revenge, Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy, Nashville — these shows amp up the drama with improbable plot lines and hammy acting. Cultural Comment: For all the talk of how highbrow our TV is, America still loves a good soap. Heck, even the NFL has turned into a (dark) soap opera. New Addition: Red Band Society (Wednesdays at 9 pm, FOX).

PURE ESCAPISM Of course the post-apocalyptic, supernatural world of zombies and/or vampires has been fertile ground for years, but the new trend is toward fantasies set in completely recognizable places, like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Once Upon a Time and Sleepy Hollow. Cultural Comment: There’s plenty to escape from in our own real world, and pulling back the curtain on the secret forces that really drive our lives fits our feeling of powerlessness when faced with a society that seems to come at us faster and faster all the time. Plus, it’s cool to see everybody turn into monsters on Grimm. New Addition: Gotham (debuts Monday, Sept. 22, 8 pm on FOX).  JEN SORENSON CARTOON

COMMENT | CIVICS decided by a single vote.

On the other hand, I’ve seen many times in my civic life where a single person taking a single action has made a difference in someone’s life. Volunteering at a soup kitchen, your child’s school, a homeless shelter or the local library matters.

I’ve seen a single member of the public showing up to a city council meeting and, by advocating with sincerity and passion, change the outcome of a vote. I’ve watched

Voting’s Not Enough Marking your ballot once or twice a year is great, but our communities need more out of you than that

BY JOHN T. REUTER

T

here’s about six weeks left until this year’s general election. It’s time for me to fulfill my patriotic duty as a columnist by reminding you to fulfill yours by voting. You know why you should be voting — in fact, if you’ve even stuck with me through these first few sentences, you probably do vote (at least in general elections) and might even be a fellow voting evangelist.

If you do vote, that’s great. If you get others to vote, even better. We have a real crisis in our nation where most people aren’t voting — especially young people and minori-

ties. It’s led to leaders who are disconnected from a true majority of their constituents.

Voting is important, and I’m glad that we have a lot of people working to get more of us to the polls. (I’m also angry with the politicians who have tried to make it harder for us to vote.)

But what I’ve started to wonder is if we’re actually hurting our cause by being so focused on voting to the exclusion of other civic actions. Voting is important, but it’s not actually the most important action you, as an individual, can take in our democracy.

The reality is that most of the time when you cast your vote you don’t actually change the outcome of an election. In fact, it’s extraordinarily rare for an election to be

people shut down a homophobic or racist comment at a bar or restaurant — changing our culture is almost as important as changing our laws in the fight for equality.

These actions often take more time and personal investment than voting, but they also can leave us with even more passion to fight for a better world.

None of this is a good reason not to vote.

Who we elect still matters tremendously — and the more of us who take part in it, the better it usually works. But perhaps we need to restart our conversation with our communities about participation in our democracy, and talk more about those things that require more from us than just marking boxes on a ballot.

Such a shift might even lead more people to vote. It’s easy to imagine how engaging in concrete actions could lead to someone finding even deeper meaning in determining who should help lead us in solving the problems we face.

So please, do go out and vote on November 4 — but don’t just be a voter on Election Day. Be a citizen all year round.  John T.

COMMENT | GUEST EDITORIAL

Real Solutions

BY CATHY McMORRIS RODGERS

I

Cathy McMorris Rodgers represents the 5th District of Washington state in Congress.

n light of a recent opinion piece regarding my priorities as Eastern Washington’s representative in Congress (“According to Newt,” 9/4/14), which discusses political polarization and goes so far as to describe me as a “loyal spear-carrier,” I wanted to take this opportunity to highlight some of the work I’m doing to bring solutions to advance Eastern Washington. If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a legislator, it is that we cannot achieve great things alone. It takes a willingness to come together, put aside our differences, and advance real solutions that make people’s lives better.

I understand the growing frustration many feel with Washington, D.C., right now. I am frustrated too. I share your desire to surmount partisan politics. I share your desire to do what is good and right for the American people. And I share your desire for your lawmakers to be driven by principle, not politics. So it is with an unwavering commitment to you — to the farmers who harvest our wheat, the recent graduates looking for good-paying jobs, the moms and dads working hard to make ends meet, and the service members who defend our nation — that I put real solutions over partisan politics. We don’t have to settle for the way Washington works, and we don’t have to settle for paychecks that seem to buy less. What we need is to come together and grow our economy from the bottom up with more good-paying jobs to bring you greater opportunities.

I have authored numerous pieces of bipartisan legislation to make your lives better. In fact, of the 72 bills signed into law by the President last year, I was proud to have authored two of them, both of which garnered overwhelming bipartisan support. It is also an honor to co-chair numerous bipartisan congressional caucuses, including the Neuroscience Caucus, the Down Syndrome Caucus and the Military Family Caucus, the third of which I co-chair with Congressman Sanford Bishop, a Democrat from Georgia.

Just last month, Congressman Bishop traveled across the country for the second time to help me host a bipartisan Military Family Summit at Fairchild Air Force Base. The Summit enabled service members and their spouses to share their experiences, learn about initiatives helping military families and hear from military leaders.

It is through bipartisan events like these that I will continue to work in Congress to address the employment and education challenges military families too often face, and it is through bipartisan efforts like these that I work to empower the men and women in Eastern Washington with new possibilities.

Ultimately, we must strive to push our country and our community toward to a higher quality of life for everyone — no matter where you start — because our nation exists to empower people, not government. We need to remember what matters most: the men and women working every day to build a better life and provide new and better opportunities for their families. n

Building Influence Up against a new and unfriendly majority in City Hall, can the Spokane Home Builders Association mend fences?

BY HEIDI GROOVER

T

he Spokane Home Builders Association was not used to losing.

They’d beaten Envision Spokane three times, won an effort to require a supermajority of the city council to raise taxes and seen their support of an all-Republican Spokane County Commission upheld by voters. Then came last fall’s election. Their funding of ads attacking two left-leaning city council candidates as “bought and paid for” sparked controversy and proved ineffective: both candidates won.

Now, in the face of a stark political split in City

Hall — a conservative mayor and a 5-2 “veto-proof” liberal majority on the city council — one of Spokane’s most outspoken lobbying groups faces an uphill battle.

In response, it’s doubling down on city issues and eying potential compromise.

A

t a recent city council meeting, even amid a rare moment of agreement between the home builders and the city council, Councilman Jon Snyder took the chance to scold the group from the dais.

“What I’d say to the home builders is you are one of

the most highly politicized organizations in our community — just incredibly partisan. It’s amazing that we’re able to cooperate on something like this,” Snyder said. “I would implore you to look at more ways to be cooperative with this council instead of coming out against us again and again and again, ad nauseam.”

The moment was a boiling over of a simmering tension between the organization and the council, especially Snyder, a transportation-fixated, sprawl-fighting liberal.

The Spokane Home Builders Association is comprised of nearly 700 people in the homebuilding industry.

Its work is split between education and political advocacy.

Michael Cathcart, the group’s government affairs director and chief lobbyist, challenges the label “conservative.”

“We’re pretty moderate in terms of the positions we take, I think,” he says. “We’re just very pro-business, probuilding industry. That’s the point of why we exist.”

Yet the organization’s campaign work favors conservatives, and Cathcart’s previous job was as an aide to Republican State Sen. Michael Baumgartner. According to records from the state Public Disclosure Commission, the Spokane Home Builders Association has shown steady support of right-leaning candidates since 2000, including Mayor David Condon, former home builders lobbyist ...continued on next page

“BUILDING INFLUENCE,” CONTINUED... and county commissioner Mark Richard, current commissioners Todd Mielke, Shelly O’Quinn and Al French, former councilwoman Nancy McLaughlin and John Ahern, who ran against Snyder last year. In his 2012 introductory column in the association’s newsletter, Cathcart set the stakes of letting the other side win.

“Just take a walk down the East end of Main [Avenue] and you’ll find a plethora of organizations in the Saranac ‘Community’ building created with the sole purpose of advocating for the further elimination of your property rights and the further implementation of business destroying regulations,” he wrote. “The homebuilding industry and specifically your small business cannot, and should not, have to continue putting up with these irresponsible policies any longer. … We are not going to continue to just sit and play defense every time bad policies are brought forward by our elected officials.”

In the more conservative Spokane Valley and among the county commissioners, the home builders tend to find a welcoming environment.

At times, that’s extended to the mayor’s office and the conservatives on the city council.

Councilman Mike Allen, who has received campaign funding and been endorsed by the home builders, says the group is “just one of the organizations out there, like the Lands Council or the Center for Justice or anyone else. They have particular areas they want to advocate for.”

In what became one of this year’s most controversial issues inside City Hall, the association successfully lobbied the mayor to veto a councilpassed ordinance. Snyder introduced, and the council passed, a law preventing the city from committing water and sewer service to developments in the expanded Urban Growth Area until any appeals to the expansion were finished. The mayor vetoed the move, citing concerns that it hadn’t been thoroughly vetted.

“A lot of people were encouraging the mayor [to veto], but I think we were a very loud voice,” Cathcart says.

Elsewhere, the tactics have raised ire.

“It seems like at every turn at which anything development-related comes up that’s not something they can control, they will fight to kill it,” says Kai Huschke, campaign director for Envision Spokane, which proposed a far-reaching Community Bill of Rights that would have, among other things, given neighborhoods the ability to stop developments. “That has been their M.O. … If it barely touches their realm of control, they’ll come after you.”

“The home builders are basically an arm of the Republican party in the city,” Snyder says. “I respect Michael … but he’s got a pretty staunch, hard-right, libertarian, Ron Paul background and he’s pretty ensconced in Republican politics. [His hiring] sent a message in and of itself.”

But the association has also shown occasional support for progressives, including a small donation to former Mayor Mary Verner’s 2005 race for city council. After significant membership losses (and in turn funding cuts) during the recession, the group is now in a “rebuilding phase,” Cathcart says. Whether they — and a largely adversarial council — can embrace compromise could have big implications for Spokane’s future.

S

eated around a rectangular stone meeting table, members of the home builders association listen to developer Jim Frank like he’s telling a fairy tale.

“We’ve had a year’s wait list for houses there,” Frank says of his company’s mixed-use Kendall Yards development. “We’ve developed a couple hundred apartments there and [have] 100 percent occupancy, and we’re pushing rents as high as $1.40 a square foot.”

“Wow,” a builder at the table says, almost in a whisper.

“Typically,” Frank continues, “rents in Spokane — you’d be lucky if you’re getting a dollar a square foot.”

Over the next hour, Frank clicks through slides citing city zoning codes that prevent other,

THE PAVILION PRESENTS

GEORGE THOROGOOD Developer Jim Frank says city codes prevent more dense developments like Kendall Yards. YOUNG KWAK PHOTO similar developments from cropping up. (Kendall Yards received special exemptions early on and has not been bound by those rules.) All the while, he’s selling the home builders on his vision in their own language: there’s money to be made.

“These units here sold for $120,000 in Kendall Yards,” he says, pointing to a photo of shiny, narrow townhouses. “There’s a lot of people Michael Cathcart that like living in townhouses and it’s not just empty nesters. … There are big market segments that this works for.”

While the types of codes and regulations the home builders fight may not be the stuff of headlines or protests, the building community sits firmly at the center of one of the biggest issues facing the city: As Spokane crawls out of the recession, how will it grow? Will future development in the city be dense and focused on pedestrians and cyclists, or will it spill out at the city’s edges?

Should we aim for more developments like Five Mile, or more along the lines of Kendall Yards?

“We’re in a race right now,” Snyder says. “We’re coming out of the recession. Communities across the country that compete with us are now deciding whether they are going to go all-in in reinvesting in their communities coming out of this recession or if they’re going to back off and wait. I’m a strong proponent of ‘It’s time to go all-in.’”

While debates rage on about the urban growth area and whether the city holds enough developable, profitable land, the city council and the home builders agree there is a growing market for urban housing. And this, amid all the political bickering, may be the place the association can find common ground with the most liberal city council they’ve faced in years.

Snyder, currently floating the idea of expanding a pilot project to allow for more townhouses and other dense development in certain parts of the city, says, “I need people to show support, probably more than just Jim [Frank].”

Cathcart says his group, too, is interested in loosening building codes to get “the government out of the way so that the market can make that [kind of development] possible.”

“If that’s what they really believe,” Snyder says suspiciously, “come at me, man. Let’s do it.”  heidig@inlander.com

Who Ya Gonna Call?

City puts ambulance service out for rebid; Spokane Police replace SWAT team; and a study on Washington state police murders BACK TO BID

Mayor David Condon announced this week that his administration will reissue the call for bids for private ambulance service after the first attempt produced only one bidder: the city’s current provider, AMERICAN MEDICAL RESPONSE. The new request will not include the requirement that any bidder have experience providing advanced service to an American city of at least 150,000.

That requirement sparked controversy in City Hall last month when competing ambulance company Falck said it prevented them from bidding, despite their extensive international experience. Council President Ben Stuckart then asked the mayor to reissue the request for bids, saying that if he didn’t, the council may not approve a new contract with AMR. The mayor acknowledged those concerns Monday: “I worked with city councilmembers and they ultimately need to pass this.”

AMR has argued that Falck had the chance to raise its concerns before the first process was closed and that rebidding would allow competitors to see AMR’s bid and undercut them. Because AMR’s current contract expires next month and a new contract is not expected until November, the city may seek an extension to continue service. In an email Tuesday, AMR’s West Region General

Manager Kevin Anderson told the Inlander, “If an interim agreement cannot be reached AMR will continue to serve Spokane residents without a contract in place until a new bidding process is completed. We are still considering our options regarding the decision to rebid and the release of our original proposal to competitors.”

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

In an attempt to improve tactical versatility, Spokane Police Department officials last week announced they had switched their long-established SWAT team to an EMERGENCY RESPONSE UNIT effective immediately, with plans for additional crisis de-escalation, negotiation and rescue training.

Police officials expect much of the team’s mission, equipment and staffing to remain the same, but the name change signals a shift toward a broader range of roles and applications, loosely based on the NYPD’s Emergency Services Unit.

“Obviously, we are working in a different environment with different needs than in New York City,” SPD spokeswoman Monique Cotton notes. “Our enhanced training will be geared more toward rescuing people

Almost two-thirds of Washington state POLICE MURDERS were committed by people who were barred from owning firearms, according to a new study by a national organization promoting Initiative 594, a universal background checks measure on private gun sales in Washington.

Everytown for Gun Safety, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun-control advocacy group, used FBI data and news stories to examine 36 murders of Washington law enforcement officers between 1980 and 2013. During that period, 28 officers were shot with guns they didn’t own. Of those 28, at least 17, or 61 percent, were killed by people who would have been prohibited from possessing guns due to their criminal records, past domestic violence or histories of serious mental illness.

Dave Workman, the communications director for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms in Bellevue, which has endorsed a competing measure, Initiative 591, that would forbid the state from mandating future background checks, said I-594 likely would not have prevented those deaths.

“There’s nothing to indicate that any of these individuals would have gone through means that were remotely legal to obtain the firearms that they used in the first place,” Workman said.

ll across the state, defendants with mental health issues face routine delays of weeks or months waiting in cramped jail cells for a legally required mental evaluation from the state’s overburdened psychiatric hospitals — before they can even start their trials. Still presumed innocent, scores of defendants remain penned for longer than if they had been convicted, often without treatment and isolated in solitary confinement 23 hours a day.

While state law calls for such evaluations to be conducted within seven days, records show average wait times stretching from 30 to 50 days. In at least one case, a defendant has waited more than 120 days.

“The current [wait] lists are unprecedented,” says attorney Emily Cooper with the nonprofit Disability Rights Washington. “That’s a lot of people waiting.”

Right now, a 28-year-old man has spent more than 45 days in the Spokane County Jail awaiting a mental evaluation after a charge of driving under the influence, an offense that would

commonly result in a 30-day sentence. After a psychotic episode, records say he recently was put on suicide watch.

Less than a year ago, 25-year-old Amanda Cook, a young mother who once enjoyed drawing and shopping with her sisters, wrote her family a series of letters describing her mental anguish as she waited for an evaluation at the Spokane County Jail. Her wait stretched several weeks and ultimately she took her own life in a jail showering area on Dec. 3.

Officials with the Department of Social and Health Services, which oversees jail mental evaluations through its psychiatric hospitals, acknowledge longstanding failures to meet deadlines on evaluation times. Agency reports point to staff limitations, ward overcrowding and budget cuts.

With wait lists now stretching longer than any time since at least early 2013, mental health advocates last week filed a federal class-action lawsuit against DSHS on behalf of dozens of defendants waiting for evaluations. Many groups, including Disability Rights Washington and the

ACLU of Washington, have signed onto the lawsuit in hopes of forcing a systemic change.

“We’ve reached the breaking point,” Cooper says. “We can’t wait any longer for a solution because people are dying and people are being irreparably harmed.”

T

he new class-action lawsuit filed Thursday in Seattle cites four cases in which defendants, including the 28-year-old Spokane man, have waited weeks in jail without trial or conviction for a mental health evaluation. Advocates argue the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibit the state from holding defendants indefinitely without proper medical or mental health care.

“Unfortunately, [state psychiatric hospitals] have persistently failed to perform these services on a timely basis,” the lawsuit states. “[D]elays have caused individuals with mental health disabilities to suffer needless deterioration in their mental health as they sit in jails, frequently in prolonged isolation, for weeks and months before receiving the … services [hospitals] are responsible for providing.”

A 2013 audit of evaluation times at Eastern State Hospital, which conducts jail evaluations for the state’s 20 eastside counties, found the hospital failed to meet its seven-day deadline 99 percent of the time. Monthly reports show the number of defendants waiting in jail for evaluations continues to increase this year, with 67 individuals waiting in early September.

DSHS regional spokesman John Wiley acknowledges Eastern State Hospital rarely has the resources to meet the seven-day deadline. He explains that the hospital has hired additional staff Send comments to in recent months, but still struggles with a editor@inlander.com. regional shortage of qualified psychiatrists and licensed evaluators. “[E]ven when patients are evaluated, there are not enough beds available for treatment and restoration,” he writes in an email. “DSHS will be asking the Legislature for funding to deal with the problems.”

Advocates argue insufficient funding does not justify violating the constitutional rights of a vulnerable population. They hope bringing the lawsuit to federal court will draw new attention to the issue.

“It’s deeply troubling,” says Margaret Chen, an attorney with the ACLU of Washington. “These are individuals who need to be evaluated and treated. … Jails are not the appropriate places for them.”

LETTERS

W

hile the Washington State Supreme Court recently banned a common practice known as “psychiatric boarding,” in which state hospitals temporarily house mental health patients without treatment in underequipped emergency rooms, jail evaluations will likely continue to face delays. State law does not include consequences for failing to meet deadlines. Some defense attorneys have resorted to filing motions to hold hospitals in contempt, but most are denied.

“Unless enjoined by the court,” the class-action lawsuit states, “[state hospitals] will continue to violate and cause the violation of the constitutional rights of the class plaintiffs and the class members.”

Cooper explains that hospitals have requested more staffing and resources, but also have failed to meet efficiency guidelines outlined by the legislature. She hopes a judge can bring some clarity to the stalemate and set new goals.

“The federal court is in the best position to provide relief,” she says. “Clearly the state hospitals haven’t been able to fix it on their own.”

Cooper says state representatives have agreed to meet on the issue, which she finds encouraging. She also finds hope in the broad coalition of attorneys and advocates who have joined the effort to address a problem that has stood for years, impacting the care and well-being of thousands of people.

“At this point, we’re left with no other options,” she says.

“These are our mothers and our sisters and our children. … And this is how we treat them? It’s just appalling.” n

Best Practices

Why the Spokane Symphony’s 69th season could be one of its biggest yet

BY LAURA JOHNSON

“O

h, they’ll hate us if we play it that way,” says Eckart Preu, his laughter filling the glowing auditorium from the stage of the Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox. The Spokane Symphony music director is working out the string bowings for Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 with concertmaster Mateusz Wolski, a week before the new season’s opening night. Almost in their own language, the maestro air-bows and sings what he envisions; the violinist plays the melodic lines beautifully, working out the mechanics. They’ll pass this strategy along to the rest of the string section, so all can play in unison.

To musicians — or classical music aficionados who have listened to a recording of a particular piece ad nauseam — a “down bow” (pulling the arm so the elbow is extended) or an “up bow” (opposite direction) can make all the difference in the sound quality of a certain passage. To most, the minute difference doesn’t even register.

The Spokane Symphony played the Brahms piece in 2008, but Preu is always striving for perfection.

Beginning this weekend, Spokane Symphony’s 69th season is shaping up to be its most exciting yet. Not only will the first concert include one of Brahms’ masterworks, it also features two concertos for two pianos, performed by internationally acclaimed pianists Gil Garburg and Sivan Silver, who also are husband and wife.

The rest of the season includes some of the most well-known classical works ever written: Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9, Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Dukas. There are other modern works — which Preu says he’s particularly excited about — by Frank Zappa, Arvo Pärt and Astor Piazzolla. The SuperPops

concerts are not to be outdone, with shows celebrating Elvis and the holidays, as well as featuring Brazilian jazz-funk legend Sergio Mendes and the Portland-based “little orchestra” Pink Martini. Over the year, the symphony will play more than 60 concerts, performing at the Fox as well as outdoor venues.

A week before the season is about to begin, Audrey Overstreet, the symphony’s director of marketing and public relations, says more subscription packages have been sold than ever before. This is due in part to April’s Pink Martini concert, but also the masterpieces on the classical bill, she says.

“This is just a killer lineup this year, full of works that so many people know and love,” says Overstreet.

More than that, the symphony’s musicians are secure in their roles after receiving a two-year contract extension. It was a scary time for the musicians after a strike in the fall of 2012, Wolski says, but now the future looks brighter.

“It feels, going into this new season as an organization, that we’re all on the same page,” says Wolski, who is entering his eighth season with the symphony. “Even if the world around us doesn’t look as wonderful as we all wished, we are trying to make the world better with our music, trying to put on the best show possible.”  lauraj@inlander.com Spokane Symphony Opening Night with Silver-Garburg Duo • Sat, Sept. 20, at 8 pm; Sun, Sept. 21, at 3 pm • $15-$54 • Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox • 1001 W.

Interplayers Theatre Merges with Lake City Playhouse ollowing years of financial

F

struggles and narrowly avoided closures, Interplayers Theatre’s board of directors concluded several weeks of negotiations by signing a deal that will see Interplayers merge with Lake City Playhouse.

Once the documents are finalized at the state level, the 34-yearold professional theater will be subsumed by the 54-year-old Coeur d’Alene community theater led by George Green.

“On July 4, our board met with the purpose of closing the theater for financial reasons,” says Michael Bowen, Interplayers’ board president. Board member Ryan Oelrich suggested approaching Lake City Playhouse, “to see if they would be prepared for some type of partnership or merger.”

The terms of the resulting merger are fairly straightforward.

Lake City Playhouse will assume all of Interplayers’ assets and liabilities as well as operational control of the theater. A significant portion of those liabilities is approximately $92,000 in outstanding debt.

“We’ve come to an agreement on what the known liabilities are. I anticipate that there will be some future things, and that’s not uncommon in this type of situation,” says Green.

This wasn’t the first time Interplayers had found itself in dire straits. Two years ago, the theater was saved by a lease renegotiation with landlord Jerry Dicker, owner of GVD Commercial Properties.

A year later, Interplayers said its 2013-14 season was contingent on its ability to solicit $150,000. The theater raised only about half that but persevered nevertheless. Soon, though, the board of directors realized that they were much further behind than expected.

Despite the merger, little will change outwardly in the near term. Lake City Playhouse will carry on “business as usual,” according to Green, as will Interplayers’ season opener, Broadway Bound, which runs through Saturday night. The second production, Hound of the Baskervilles, however, has been canceled.

“I just want to make sure that both Spokane and Coeur d’Alene understand that this is being done in an effort to create something positive for artists and patrons alike,” says Green.

Two directors are overseeing Fiddler on the Roof, the Civic’s season opener

BY E.J. IANNELLI

T

he Spokane Civic Theatre is bottle-dancing into its 68th season with Fiddler on the Roof, one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history.

The musical was adapted from the short stories of Sholem Aleichem, who even during his lifetime was often dubbed “the Jewish Mark Twain” — so often, in fact, that when the two met in 1906, Twain drolly introduced himself as “the American Sholem Aleichem.” Although the story of Fiddler is specific to a particular time, place and people, something that worried some financial backers of the original 1964 Broadway production, there’s a time-tested universality to its themes of family and tradition. Songs like “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” and “If I Were a Rich Man” have since transcended the show.

Troy Nickerson and Heather McHenryKroetch are co-directing this production of Fiddler. Generally speaking, a director serves as a unifying force, which can threaten to complicate things when the job is divvied up. But the pair jointly directed Little Shop of Horrors at Ignite! last season with success, and McHenry-Kroetch says that after years of observing Nickerson’s work from both sides of the curtain, she’s uniquely attuned to his creative vision.

“Troy and I are really good friends. We’ve known each other a long time, and for me, I know what he’s going to want,” she says. “We’re good at communicating with each other about what we want the vision to be. He’ll go stage a scene that I don’t see at all, but when I see it, I know what he wanted, so I can clean it up with the actors and keep moving in the direction that we want to go. And the reverse is true for him.”

When it comes to Fiddler, the pair aims to continue the primacy of character and story that has been the hallmark of Nickerson’s musical productions in recent years. The sets are to the drama what a frame is to an oil painting.

“Our set’s really very simple and really very

cool. It’s very representational. There are no full-on interiors,” says Nickerson. “There’s the outline of houses, and there’s going to be our own stamp on it. You’ll definitely see a different artistic take on some of the scenes.”

Much like Gypsy, the Nickerson-helmed finale to the Civic’s previous season, they’ll be paying close attention to the family dynamic at the heart of this musical, in which patriarch Tevye (played

by McHenry-Kroetch’s husband, Patrick) sees his daughters marry and the traditional shtetl household break apart.

“It’s very interesting to direct a show that’s been done so many times,” says McHenryKroetch. “I’m sure people have done productions where they’re focused more on the relationships, but I’m finding lots of places to explore. There’s some staging and also some real relationships” in this production, she says, “that are interesting in a way they haven’t always been.”

Which isn’t to suggest that she and Nickerson have fiddled greatly with Fiddler. Many of the musical’s points are fixed, such as the famous bottle dance. In this classic scene, a group of cast members spin, crouch and kick with glass bottles perched precariously on their heads.

“That’s Jillian [Kehne], her choreography,” she says. “It’s a cool dance, and kind of iconic for this show. This isn’t scaled back in terms of production value.”

McHenry-Kroetch says their decision to forego a safety net — that is, no wires, no glue — during the dance is what adds to the excitement of live theater. She notes the odds of avoiding mishaps over 19 performances, then laughs: “Well, we’ve only broken two bottles so far.” n Fiddler on the Roof • Sept. 19-Oct. 19: Thu-Sat, 7:30 pm; Sun, 2 pm • $30 ($22 student, $28 military/senior) • Spokane Civic Theatre • 1020 N.

MUSIC | In retirement, some take up tennis. Meanwhile, James Murphy uses tennis tournaments to create electronic music. Using an algorithm designed to create sounds live, the former LCD Soundsystem frontman releases a compilation of “songs.” He takes IBM’s data of tennis matches to create experimental sounds on THE US OPEN SESSIONS. The tracks bounce around like tennis balls in a video game soundtrack. You may not dance like you did to LCD Soundsystem, but you’ll be reminded of Murphy’s compulsion to try something completely bizarre.

YES a resource you keep and share with friends.

L

ess than two weeks ago, Patit Creek Cellars elevated their charming West Sprague wine-tasting room to new heights. Under the attentive eye of Rachel Mace-Crum, the tasting room debuted a 900-pound cheese case featuring local, national and international cheeses made from sheep, goat and cow’s milk, and in varying combinations of the three. Blue cheeses chill next to brie, triple crèmes, soft, semi-hard, raw and aged varieties.

Mace-Crum’s plans for the cheese case are ambitious, and with good reason.

“We sold 35 pounds of cheese in 13 business hours on our opening weekend.

We are testing the waters to see what people are buying,” says Mace-Crum. “On my list, I have easily over a thousand different cheeses available to order.”

Patit Creek, part of the Walla Wallabased winery, currently carries 40 cheeses

and hopes to stock 70 in a cheese case that features favorites such as Cambozola and Humboldt Fog, and also boasts unique selections such as Sottocenere, a delicate cow’s milk cheese fortified with black truffles, and Brebirousse d’Argental, a buttery, salty sheep’s milk cheese that inspires thoughts of elegant macaroni and cheese.

Mace-Crum and her husband, Cody Crum, work together to pair an array of cheese with Patit Creek Cellar’s wines.

“We try really hard to customize the experience for everyone here. We can bring you a glass of wine and then choose your cheese. Or people will come in and know which cheese they like and then we’ll recommend the wine,” says Crum.

“These cheeses have sneaky ways of pairing [with wine] that brings them into a place of their own,” adds Mace-Crum.

Mace-Crum is working diligently to dis-

pel the notion that buying and eating good cheese is only for food snobs. The shop will offer cheese-and-wine pairing classes.

A cheese club membership is in the works, as are small-scale wholesale accounts for restaurants. Soon, Mace-Crum will be taking courses at Murray’s, New York City’s premier cheese shop, to further her knowledge and cheesemaking skills and receive certification as an official cheesemonger.

“The cheese community can be really intimidating. We want to be open and foster learning. We are huge on samples. We encourage everyone to try our cheeses,” says Mace-Crum. n Patit Creek Cellars • 822 W.

PARTICIPATE! IF YOU WANT YOUR CITY TO HAVE A GREAT ARTS SCENE, YOU NEED TO BE PART OF THAT SCENE. That’s the premise we started with when we began tossing around ideas for the Inlander’s annual Fall Arts issue.

We wanted to delve into the notion of not just observing the arts — be that anything from a night at the symphony to a punk rock show, a juried art festival to a poetry open mic — but actually being a part of the creative community.

Fear not, this doesn’t mean you have to immediately take up tap dancing or watercolor painting. You can support the arts in any number of ways, which is what you’ll find in the six profiles of individuals and programs around the region. Whether it’s volunteering to help out for a local theater company, making a donation to a youth arts organization or even just letting your favorite Spokane band know that you’re a fan and you’ll be at their next show, there’s no shortage of simple actions you can make to better the arts community.

With that in mind, the rest of the Fall Arts Preview is your guide to getting yourself involved. There’s got to be some sort of event listed in these pages that piques your interest.

Who knows, you might even find your next hobby.

SPOKANE ARTS SETS ASIDE THE MONTH TO RECOGNIZE AND CELEBRATE THE EMERGING ARTS SCENE

BY CHEY SCOTT

cross Spokane, galleries participate in First Friday art show receptions a dozen times a year. Locals can hear live music any night of the week, and poetry open mics happen weekly. From fall to spring, you can see a different live theater performance on almost any weekend evening. Then there are the countless touring and one-time events throughout the year.

The opportunities to experience our region’s bounty of arts and

culture are incredibly abundant. Yet the familiar lamentations over a lack of support from the majority of the community still linger.

Create Spokane is hoping to change that perception.

The month-long initiative spearheaded by Spokane Arts’ departing director Shannon Halberstadt — who has been at the helm of the nonprofit for a little more than a year but recently announced her return to Seattle — seeks to make the arts accessible to everyone.

“Our region is really rich with creativity, and I think a lot of times that goes unrecognized,” Halberstadt says. “This is an opportunity for people who are creating to show off, and an invitation for the public to participate.”

October is also National Arts and Humanities month, she points out. It made even more sense to plan the new, local initiative for that month since there already are a number of well-established arts events happening here in October — the Visual Arts Tour, an expanded two-day version of First Friday; Terrain; Spokane is Reading; and the beginning of new seasons for the Spokane Symphony, local theaters and other performance groups.

Create Arts month is modeled after similar programs in other metro areas close in size to Spokane, like Tacoma Arts Month in November, and Reno’s Artown festival in July, which celebrates its 20th anniversary next year and boasts 400-plus free arts and cultural events.

The public participation aspect starts with Create Spokane’s programming partners — other local arts groups — hosting their own special events throughout the month, including workshops, lectures, performances, exhibitions, classes and other events across a range of disciplines.

“For people who don’t necessarily participate in the arts and don’t do poetry readings or see gallery shows, it’s a great opportunity to see something new and see what is going on,” Halberstadt says.

Most of the events are free or low-cost

to increase accessibility.

“There is a perceived ‘ivory tower’ of the arts, and we hope to bust down that perception and bring people in,” she adds.

So far, some of the planned partner events include pottery demonstrations and public classes at the Liberty Building, and international film screenings at the Magic Lantern Theater organized by the Spokane International Film Festival.

Create Spokane has even inspired some groups to create new programs, Halberstadt says. One of those endeavors is Spokane Poet Laureate Thom Caraway’s project “Verbatim,” a collaborative literature and visual art event incorporating a

Also launching in conjunction with Create Spokane’s monthlong mission is Spokane Arts public expression project Spokane Throw, headed by the organiza-

tion’s program manager Austin Stiegemeier. Through Sept. 26, Spokane Arts is accepting submissions of 25-word letters to Spokane. These messages can be confessional odes or critiques of the city that start out with the phrase “Dear Spokane.”

Entries selected are then planned to be light-projected onto the sides of prominent downtown buildings at night.

Meanwhile, a similar project encouraging public participation in art — the new Mobile Murals Program — is also launching during the first week of Create Spokane’s programming, on Oct. 4. Earlier this summer, Spokane Arts put out a request for mural proposals, which would then be installed as a fence around the undeveloped dirt lot at the corner of Division and Third Avenue downtown. Following their installation is a public walking tour of all of downtown’s new public art, including the four recently completed railroad underpass murals.

Create Arts month culminates with a festive costume ball, which organizers felt was appropriate since the event falls a day before Halloween, and also to further inspire creative expression. The formal event at the Davenport Hotel also includes the first-annual Spokane Arts Awards. Honors in four categories are to be presented to individuals exemplifying leadership, inclusion, collaboration and imagination.

“For me, my biggest hope is that people get out and experience the arts,” Halberstadt summarizes. “I think it would be a great success to have people not interested in the arts participating.” 

Our Lilac City is poised to one-up big-sister metros like the Emerald and Rose cities with this fall’s first-ever Pac Con Spokane, a comic and sci-fi convention that’s billed as the largest event of its kind in the Inland Northwest. And with a lineup of celebrity guests that includes William Shatner and Marvel legend Stan Lee, the inaugural expo is already level with the likes of Seattle and Portland’s annual mega-comicons that draw fans from across the West. For the uninitiated, comicons go beyond just the chance to get an autograph or photo with industry stars.

There’ll be an exhibitor floor hosting tons of comic artists and writers in all sci-fi genres, along with panels on how to create epic character costumes and insightful discussions on all things geek culture. (CS) Spokane Convention Center, $20-$25/day; $60-$100/weekend pass

And when it comes to shopping, the weather’s perfect.

There’s no snow to slog through, the heat doesn’t have you begging for AC — you can wander the sidewalks and love every minute, discovering the best our local merchants put forward.

As you look over these pages, consider the experience a local shopkeeper provides. Consider the care that goes into every item stocked on the shelves, how the local merchant weighs our local weather and trends when they choose the merchandise you peruse. Consider buying from them. Consider the impact you have when you decide to shop local. Then tell your friends. It makes our economy stronger and our community tighter. So while you’re out enjoying the best of our four seasons, SHOP LOCAL. It matters.

ART AL FRESCO} LIGHT READING BY PETER REIQUAM

600 N. RIVERPOINT BLVD. A blue glow emanates from internally lit cast-glass books on shelves facing two oversized granite armchairs and a bronze coffee table. The setup makes for an outdoor reading room and hangout spot perfect for day or night, just how Seattle artist Reiquam wanted it: a popular gathering place for students, staff and faculty on Washington State University’s Riverpoint Campus. The piece, which was created in 2006 after being commissioned by the Washington State Arts Commission Percent for Art Project, makes reference to the nearby four-story glass entrance of the Academic Center building. The light symbolizes the illumination of ideas and knowledge that comes through reading.

WANDERING SPOKANE ON FOOT WILL TAKE YOU TO SOME OF THE CITY’S MOST LOVED PUBLIC ART STORY BY JO MILLER n PHOTOS BY YOUNG KWAK

THAT PLACE WHERE CENTENNIAL SCULPTURE THE JOY OF GHOSTS OF SALMON JUMP BY HAROLD BALAZS RUNNING TOGETHER 507 N. HOWARD ST.

BY SHERMAN ALEXIE

BY DAVID GOVEDARE Harold Balazs, the beloved Spokane artBEHIND THE SPOKANE PUBLIC LIBRARY (906 W. MAIN AVE.) If you visit the library’s Overlook Park, you might see someone dancing in soft circles on the concrete. Look closer and you’ll see their eyes and body following a polished granite spiral on the ground inscribed with words. They’re reading a poem written by renowned author and former Spokanite Sherman Alexie, who stood at that very spot when he penned “That Place Where Ghosts of Salmon Jump,” which mourns what has become of the once-pristine Spokane Falls and River and at the same time praises its current beauty. CITY OF SPOKANE

ist and man behind many iconic Spokane sculptures and other works throughout the Northwest, created this piece in 1978 to commemorate Spokane’s 100th birthday.

The Centennial Committee asked Balazs to create a piece to illustrate the diversity in Spokane’s history and express a commitment to the future. The committee gave it as a gift to the city, funded mostly by selling 10,000 Centennial medallions. The two-ton piece of nonrepresentational modern art appears to float on the Spokane River in Riverfront Park. In order to perfect the floating aspect, Balazs consulted Seattle marine engineers and chose stainless steel for the curves and angles to reflect off the water and constantly change in appearance with the shifting light.

NORTH POST STREET AND WEST SPOKANE FALLS BOULEVARD Spokanites instinctively recognize the 40 life-size runners frozen midstride along Spokane Falls Boulevard as a quintessential symbol of Bloomsday. But what you might not know is those are real people.

Well, real people in the sense that Chewelah artist Govedare made the Corten steel sculptures in 1985 by posing runners against a wall, shining bright light on them and tracing their silhouettes. To Govedare, the importance of the race is that it brings different people together. It’s about sharing the experience and being part of the flow. To reflect the diversity found among the race day crowd, the artist intentionally chose runners to trace who were of all ethnicities and nationalities.

LANTERN

BY HAROLD BALAZS

507 N. HOWARD ST. It’s a popular subject of Spokane lore. The 32-foot-tall cement sculpture found along the Centennial Trail near the Opera House has been nicknamed “Lantern” for its Chinese lantern-esque appearance, but Balazs says when he made the untitled piece in 1974 he wasn’t going for that, or anything at all. “I just like getting a whole bunch of pieces that don’t really go together and just jam them together,” he says. “All I’m trying to do is create a little wonder, even if it’s not more than ‘Why the hell did he make a thing like that?’” The interwoven geometric designs on this massive artwork tempt climbers to scale it and read the message at the top, but technically, it’s forbidden.

8 SALMON CHIEF BY VIRGIL “SMOKER” MARCHAND

BEHIND CITY HALL (808 W. SPOKANE FALLS BLVD.) The lower falls of the Spokane River served as a historic gathering spot for several Native American tribes in the region.

Before winter, the salmon chief would help divide up all of the fish among the tribes to ensure everyone would have enough to last the season. When that spot, now called Huntington Park, was redesigned in May, steel statues created by Smoker, of the Colville Confederated Tribe, were added. A 12-foot sculpture of a salmon chief atop his horse now raises a salmon over the river to bless it, while two Native American women hang salmon to dry nearby.

MICHAEL P. ANDERSON

BY DOROTHY FOWLER

334 W. SPOKANE FALLS BLVD. He may be kneeling, but the 600-pound bronze sculpture of Michael P. Anderson stands 8 feet tall. Fowler sculpted him on one knee to show humility, positioned his arm lifting upward to symbolize faith and placed a dove on his hand to illustrate inspiration. Anderson, who was once a Spokanite, served as an astronaut and lieutenant colonel in the Air Force before he was lost on the Space Shuttle Columbia with his six crew members in 2003. The artist used descriptions of Anderson spoken at his memorial service as inspiration for the piece to show how he had lived out his dream. CITY OF SPOKANE PHOTO

GARBAGE GOAT BY SISTER PAULA TURNBULL

507 N. HOWARD ST. Usually it’s a rare sight to see kids giddy about throwing away trash. But at Riverfront Park, it’s quite common. A steel sculpture, known affectionately as Spokane’s garbage-eating goat sits in a basaltcolumn grotto awaiting its daily meals of rubbish, many coming from eager youngsters. The goat with a vacuum for a mouth happily sucks up any trash you bring up to its chops after you press the nearby button. Turnbull, a local nun and artist, created the piece for Expo ’74 to help keep the area clean during the festivities, and it’s one of the most popular remnants from the fair around today.

Larry Ellingson’s Walls on Walls are hanging on, well, the walls of the gallery, and as the name suggests, the show is comprised of photographs of walls from around the world. The only promise Ellingson makes about the show: “No portraits. No landscapes. No kittens.”Also on display is the work of Carrie Scozzaro, a talented multimedia artist who doubles as a longtime contributor to the Inlander’s Culture and Food sections. Her show, In Relation To, puts an eye on the interpersonal relationships Scozzaro has either encountered or imagined, creating pieces with a playful and humorous touch.

This multifaceted celebration of Spokane’s creative power has become an institution over the past few years, and the event’s momentum has hardly slowed. But things have changed with Terrain, most notably that the night of music, ample visual arts (which are juried), performing arts and general good times has left the old Music City Building and crossed downtown to the Washington Cracker Co. building on Pacific Avenue. The plan is for Terrain to take on more of a year-round presence by setting up shop permanently at the location, adding a flair of coolness to a block of downtown that needed it. Look for the same impressive lineup of bands, artists and other attractions you’ve come to expect, and keep an eye on the Inlander for the music lineup.

For decades after the 1886 book Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was published, people have been fascinated with the idea of split personalities — one human capable of two distinct moral personas.

THEATER

WHAT MONEY CAN’T BUY} “Y

ou know you work in community theater when your sofa spends more time on stage than it does in your living room,” says Keith Dixon, reciting an adage familiar to many of the volunteers who’ve been involved with the kinds of productions that the Spokane Civic Theatre has been staging for 67 years.

The adage is equally familiar to Dixon. He’s worked on the professional side of community theater ever since completing his degree in 2001. Before joining the Civic as its new artistic director this past June, he spent 10 seasons as managing artistic director for Louisiana’s Theatre Baton Rouge, an organization that bears the emphatic tagline “for the community, by the

40 INLANDER SEPTEMBER 18, 2014

community.”

“Very quickly I realized that I loved working with volunteers because they don’t do it for a paycheck,” he says. “They don’t do it for anything but the joy and love of it. They work eight, nine, 10 hours a day in their careers or go to school or what have you, and then they spend their downtime with us. You can’t teach that kind of passion.”

Dixon is one of the Civic’s two top-level hires since Yvonne A.K. Johnson was let go last summer. In July, Marnie Rorholm, who has worked for the City of Spokane and Gonzaga University, was brought on as the theater’s interim managing director.

That position will become full-time at the

start of October.

Like Dixon, Rorholm has spent years in community theater treading the boards, not to mention serving on them. “I volunteered here for 12 years, and most of it was onstage,” she says. “And the reason why I did it [is that] every show that you do, you pick up about 40 new friends. These people are professionals in their regular life, or they have other talents and backgrounds, and they take that talent and bring it to the theater.”

The two say they’re a natural complement to one another in these executive positions, with Rorholm being the networked native Spokanite who can leverage the power of her local Rolodex, and Dixon be-

ing the hard-eyed out-of-towner with years of experience overseeing a professionalquality community theater like the Civic.

What both stress is their recognition of the essential role played by the volunteer — not just onstage, but in all aspects of the theater’s operation.

“We have a crew of probably seven [front-of-house] volunteers a night per show, then expand that out over the run for the entire theater, all the shows we do on the main stage, all the shows we do down below” in the Firth J. Chew Studio, says Rorholm. Nor is volunteering limited to cast, crew and ticketing. The Civic’s latest venture, a massive costume and prop rental space called The Little Shop of Rent-

Everyone loves a good story about changing things up — bucking tradition for a fresh, new way of life, especially if a few sentimental love stories and some catchy tunes are involved. Maybe that’s why Fiddler on the Roof won nine Tonys and was the first musical to surpass 3,000 performances. The classic tale about a Jewish family in 1905 Imperial Russia will spend a month at the Civic under the direction of Troy Nickerson and Heather McHenry-Kroetch.

als, was only made possible through volunteer effort.

“We have work parties where people come in, and somebody puts the barcode on, and somebody takes a picture of the costume, and somebody loads it into the inventory,” she says. “They do wonderful things for us. They come back and say, ‘Can I take your posters around town and put them up?’ What’s really awesome is watching a volunteer come in for whatever role and then stay with us for years.”

“To me,” says Dixon, “the volunteer has to be the most important thing. I learned early on that it’s not my theater. It’s the community’s theater. And there is an ownership that goes with that. Whether they painted a piece of furniture or they just came in here and took the trash out, or took tickets, they helped make it happen. They are the heart and soul of the organization. Without them, we don’t exist.” n

LES MISÉRABLES

It looks like the Inland Northwest can’t get enough Victor Hugo. Last year, the Spokane Civic Theatre’s production of Les Misérables was a huge hit for the theater, to the point that they revived the musical for a couple of performances at the Fox with the symphony.

Now Coeur d’Alene gets a taste of one of the most classic musicals of all time with a production from Lake City Playhouse. George Green, LCP executive artistic director who has helmed a number of hits for the theater in recent years, directs a cast of LCP regulars. The theater’s music director, Zach Baker, is behind the tunes, which hard-core fans likely will be humming along to. (MB) Lake City Playhouse, $17-$25, Through Oct. 12.

WITHIN THE SILENCE

Japanese internees at Minidoka camp in Idaho

Since time machines don’t exist, the next best alternative to explore the past is on stage and screen. That’s the mission of Living Voices, a NYC-based, nationally touring nonprofit that seeks to bring history to life through live theater. Washington State University is host to Living Voice’s historically accurate portrayal of a Japanese American family from Seattle who are forced out of their home to a remote Idaho internment camp following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Told mainly from the perspective of teenage girl Emiko Yamada, Within the Silence sheds light on a unfavorable period of American history when our own citizens were swept away and silenced out of intolerance and ignorance.

Presented by the Lake City Playhouse and the Friends of the Bing, Rent is a remarkable rock musical that upon its 1996 opening was almost instantly considered a modern classic. The high-energy, Pulitzer Prizewinning play tells the story of a group of struggling New York artists striving to find their creative voices under the specter of the HIV/ AIDS epidemic. Rent ran for 12 years on Broadway, making it the 10th longest-running production in history at the time it shut down in 2008.

CLASSICAL

DEATH DEFIANT}

I

n trying times, the arts are among the first to lose funding.

After the recession hit in 2008, professional classical arts companies around the country folded.

Teachers closed studio doors.

When the preeminent New York City Opera filed Chapter 11 last year, many saw it as a sign of the continued demise of opera and support for the classical arts in this country. In Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, however, the classical arts are holding strong, despite challenges.

Most young people will never become professional musicians or dancers, yet kids continue to study classical arts. The Inland Northwest boasts a professional opera and symphony. Ballet companies perform here annually. It’s not perfect, but the scene is far from dead.

Here’s a look at what’s going on in the regional spheres of classical ballet, music and opera.

44 INLANDER SEPTEMBER 18, 2014

BALLET

THE CLASSICAL ARTS ARE HANGING TOUGH IN THE INLAND NORTHWEST, EVEN WITH SMALLER POCKETBOOKS

BY LAURA JOHNSON

As students in leotards begin to stretch out their muscles at the barre, warm yet rhythmic melodies float through the room. A live pianist still accompanies most of Shari Davis’ ballet classes, a tradition she was raised on.

At the Dance Center of Spokane, her South Hill dance studio, classes are resuming for the fall season. Excited energy fills the air. Right before the recession hit, Davis expanded her studio’s space.

“It hasn’t always been easy.

Some families are struggling to pay,” she explains. “But we’re making it.”

A 30-year veteran of teaching ballet in Spokane, she says she doesn’t understand why Spokane can’t support a professional ballet company.

“There is no reason that a midsized city like ours shouldn’t be able to do so,” says Davis, whose own school offers a nonprofit,

pre-professional dance company.

It’s not that it hasn’t been tried. In the late ’80s and early ’90s there was Spokane Ballet and the Ballet Company of Spokane. In the aughts there was Ballet Spokane. But financially, nothing could stick.

The area boasts dozens of dance schools. Davis says she’s seen a greater interest in the art form, especially over the past 10 years, thanks to shows like So You Think You Can Dance and Dance Moms. If the recession recedes and the economy fully recovers, Davis is sure there will be a resurgence for dance of all kinds.

“Parents understand how important the arts are,” Davis says.

“Ballet offers such a positive outlet for exercise and expression.”

OPERA

For its 15th season, Opera Coeur d’Alene put on its largest production ever with last weekend’s Girl of the Golden West, a lesser-known

Puccini work set during the California gold rush but sung in Italian.

“The show is a monster.

There’s a lot of bleeding and sweating and screaming on stage,” says company artistic and general director Aaron Nicholson during rehearsals. “It’s like trying to lead an expedition.”

The principal performers are out-of-towners, but the chorus, minor roles and orchestra are all regional. Opera Coeur d’Alene has one of the smallest budgets in the country, Nicholson says, and its most fully realized production ever, including ornate sets and costumes, has been made possible thanks to generous donation.

“Financially, this is the biggest season yet,” says Nicholson, the company’s director for more than a year.

After Spokane Opera went on hiatus in 2010, Opera Coeur d’Alene has continued to prosper and branch out into new av-

enues, including various elementary school performances and July’s production of The Pirates of Penzance staged on a Lake Coeur d’Alene cruise ship.

“Opera is changing. It’s not just producing million-dollar museum pieces,” Nicholson says.

“Staging is becoming more boutique. We have to get inventive with our performances.”

“Opera, give it a shot” — this most recent show’s tagline — explains it all.

“I’m not as concerned with getting young people flocking to the opera, necessarily,” Nicholson admits. “What I am concerned about is moving people’s perception of opera being somehow unnecessary.”

ORCHESTRA

Violinist Philip Baldwin is convinced classical music just has a marketing problem.

“Five-year-olds love Stravinsky,” says Baldwin of the Russian

BINGHAMTON CHINESE OPERA

composer. “Classical music isn’t scary to them. I think it’s the adults that tell kids that classical music is hard to understand or esoteric.”

Director of the Whitworth University Orchestra and Spokane Youth Symphony and concertmaster and assistant conductor for the Coeur d’Alene Symphony Orchestra, Baldwin keeps very busy. After nearly a decade in the region, Baldwin says the classical music scene is as stable as ever, thanks in part to orchestras in the public schools: “Youth keeps renewing it, whether people believe it or not.”

He says the real problem with classical music is that it’s not necessarily that cool.

“How we change that has always been the issue,” Baldwin admits.

There is more opportunity to take in a classical music concert than any other classical art in the area. While the Spokane Symphony has seen success with its lineup of SuperPops concerts and its free Labor Day Weekend performance at Comstock Park, not nearly enough people take advantage of the art at their fingertips.

“Classical music goes well beyond class and bank accounts,” Baldwin says. “You don’t have to be educated.

Just let yourself be transformed.” 

CLASSICAL

SUPERPOPS 2: SERGIO MENDES

When it comes to the genre of pop-inflected Brazilian jazz, no one plays it better than Brazilian pianist/songwriter Sergio Mendes.

Since the 1960s, Mendes has taken the world by storm with his Latin-inspired, funky tunes, including his biggest hit “Mas Que Nada” with Brasil ’66. He has significantly slowed down touring over the years, but that doesn’t stop him from performing at select events, like the Spokane Symphony’s SuperPops concert in November. The sultry show, with its combination of piano and orchestra, will undoubtedly have people dancing in the aisles.

Recently, he penned the soundtrack for the animated film Rio and just released a new album, Magic. (LJ) Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox, $28-$62, 8 pm

WHITWORTH

November brings a doozy of a concert for jazz aficionados, casual fans and students alike. Whitworth University’s Jazz Ensemble welcomes 10-time Grammy award-winning Cuban jazz trumpeter, composer and pianist Arturo Sandoval to Spokane for a special guest appearance. Sandoval joins the Whitworth Ensemble that boasts eight first-place finishes at the annual Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival at nearby University of Idaho, as well as performances in the 2011 All-Northwest Conference and the 2012 All-State Conference. Even if you don’t know your bebop from your blues, this performance promises to be a swinging good time. (CV) Whitworth Cowles Auditorium main stage, $20, 8 pm

CLASSICS 4: HAYDN AND DVORAK

It’s expansive, haunting and glorious. Antonin Dvorak’s “Symphony No. 9” (aka “New World Symphony”) is so compelling that astronaut Neil Armstrong took a recording along on the first successful moon landing. As far as well-known symphonies are concerned, the Czech composer’s “New World Symphony” is one of the most popular. This fall, the Spokane Symphony will take it on, pairing it with Haydn’s “Cello Concerto in D Major,” showcasing renowned cellist Edward Arron.

The show will easily be one of the year’s best regional classical concerts. (LJ) Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox, $15-$54, Sat 8 pm, Sun 3 pm

Haven’t started thinking about Christmas yet? That’s OK, the Coeur d’Alene Symphony Orchestra has — or at least they’ve planned a family-friendly holiday concert titled Christmas at the Kroc, one of the community orchestra’s five performances this year. Featuring Tchaikovsky’s “Suite No. 3” (not quite “The Nutcracker Suite,” but it’ll do) and a whole bunch of other holiday favorites, the concert will be the perfect place to forget all about the stresses of the season while the joyous, familiar melodies envelop you.

To ring in 2015, the chorale and symphony join together to create a tremendous ensemble, with more than 140 musicians and vocalists directed by Eckart Preu and Julian Gomez-Giraldo. Once again, this concert features Beethoven’s hour-long “Ninth Symphony,” known for its themes of freedom and community.

At an hour, this show’s brevity gives attendees enough time to get to whatever midnight event they’re looking forward to. Tickets sell out every year, nudging you to start your holiday plans early. (MS) Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox, $16-$28, 7:30 pm The City of Spokane Presents

WORDS

CHILDREN OF ART} A

cluster of young girls’ voices sings out a determined tune, at first a cappella, and then a piano plunks along a steady melody, a hi-hat tingles and a drum joins. “Don’t hold back, stay true, do what you love, love what you do / They can judge us all they choose / We have nothing left to prove.”

The track is one of six on a CD recorded at the recent Girls Rock Lab organized by INK Art Space.

Girls between the ages of 6 and 18 — many who had never picked up a musical instrument before — attended a workshop with local singer/songwriter Liz Rognes and over several days learned to play, formed bands, wrote a song and performed at The Bartlett.

The mission of INK Art Space is all about encouraging creativity in young people and providing workshops and events to mentor ages 6 to 18. It’s not just confined to music, but all aspects of the arts.

INK ART SPACE HAS MADE A PLACE FOR YOUTH TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN ALL ART FORMS

BY JO MILLER

by famed author Jess Walter and artist Dan Spalding, is completely volunteer-run.

“It’s been a work of love that has got us this far,” says Mischa Jakupcak, a filmmaker who serves as co-director alongside Kristin Gotch and Rebecca Chadwell.

Jakupcak was inspired to join INK after she went to Terrain.

“This needs to happen every day in Spokane,” she remembers thinking while at the annual mega-art show.

She craved to see more artistic talent and energy flowing through the city.

“It occurred to me that we can create the community we hunger for,” Jakupcak says.

So far, INK has offered several programs, including writing workshops, street art workshops and a project called Origin Stories, in which the kids created their own origin story in the manner of comic book superheroes, where they imagined their special powers and weakness-

es. In the front room of INK’s space at 228 W. Sprague Ave., their drawings line the white walls: Empress Panthera, spear in hand, dons an animal print leotard enveloped in flame; The Cameraman is draped in a green cape; Mr. Invisible appears as only a cloak and hat.

Other programs planned for the future include Pixel Playground, a digital arts program for kids doing anything digitally creative from filmmaking to digital music, slated for January. Upcoming fall events — some planned for outside INK’s walls — will feature artist-poet collaboration performances, live music, multi-genre exhibits and reinventions of silent films.

“I’m really into the mission of INK. Providing artistic opportunities to youth is really important,” says Gotch, a poet who studied at Eastern Washington University.

“This is a great program, something Spokane really needs.”

LILAC CITY FAIRY TALES

If Spokane was the setting of a fairy tale, who would its heroes and heroines be? Perhaps our fair city is weaving its own magical story, inspired by the talents of local artists, musicians and writers, including those being featured at this inaugural literary arts event. Basing their work on the theme “magic is normal,” seven accomplished local writers and five musicians — all women — are set to present and perform, with the majority of event proceeds benefiting the new educational arts hub, INK Art Space. Spearheaded by local author Sharma Shields, other featured writers are Kris Dinnison, Nance Van Winckel, Laura Read, Brooke Matson, Maya Jewell Zeller and Ellen Welcker. Mama Doll, the all-women indie folk group, and singer-songwriter Liz Rognes round out the program, in addition to a panel discussion on the evolving Spokane arts scene.

Rock Lab, helping the girls write lyrics. Chadwell, an audio engineer, acquainted the girls with the technology side of music.

“What we’re doing is really fun, but there’s definitely a philosophical motive behind it,” Chadwell says.

For the Girls Rock Lab, it was about promoting women in the arts, especially in media, which has traditionally been a largely maledominated field.

Lindsay Inge, 14, has been playing piano for four years and aspires to be a professional musician. She writes her own music, mostly about her life and what she’s going through, and can churn out a song in just 5 or 10 minutes. But she’s been struggling. When she joined Girls Rock Lab, she says she was dealing with social anxiety, feeling awkward and being afraid of performing.

“It was positive and challenging for me,” says Inge. “I’ve been trying to get over stage fright for a long time.”

During her band’s performance, she played keyboard, sang a song called “Searching for Something” and had a moment when she looked out at the crowd and said, “Hey, I’m doing this.” n

L

ocal musician Jeff Glinski likes to burn the candle at both ends, as they say.

Between working as a youth counselor, embarking on frequent global travel, and being a dedicated yogi, the 30-year-old never has trouble keeping himself busy.

This is all without mentioning, of course, that Glinski is the drummer in no less than three local bands: surf-blasters BBBBandits, krautrockers Mirror Mirror, and twangy punkers Normal Babies.

Somehow, he managed to find some time last week to give us his take on Spokane’s local music scene.

INLANDER: When did you get involved with the local music scene?

Glinski: I started trying to go to shows in middle school, but that was kind of hard. They were all downtown and they started late. My parents were kind of leery

A VETERAN OF THE SPOKANE MUSIC SCENE TELLS US WHY YOU SHOULD LOVE YOUR LOCAL TUNES

BY JORDAN SATTERFIELD

of me being 14 or 15 and taking the bus down there. But I was excited about music, and at that time there were a lot of bands coming through, and there was a lot of DIY stuff going on. At that age, you’re trying to find yourself, and going to shows is a great way to do it.

So having those opportunities as a teenager was vital?

Yeah, oh yeah. I did that whole “standing outside of bars to watch a show” thing, but that’s no way to watch a band. Some musicians would take pity on me and my friends, and they would play acoustic sets out on the street. But I was lucky to grow up in a time when there were also a ton of all-ages venues around.

How has the music scene in Spokane changed since you became involved?

I started my first band around 1999, and it was awesome for a long time. But as people started growing up and moving away, like from around 2005 to almost 2010, I hardly know any bands from that era. There were a few. But right now, you can go to a show almost every single night.

It might not be what you’re looking for, but you can go see a decent show. I think people are believing in music again.

How do you think the size of Spokane impacts its local music?

Well, Spokane being on the smaller side allows a connection between all of the artists. Someone will see a band and be like, “Hey, can I do art for you?” And then someone else will be like, “Hey, can I print that art?” And then someone else wants to record you, or film you, or do photography. Plus, Spokane being relatively small

gives musicians opportunities to play shows that a bigger city would never present. But on the flip side, we really need to get more people out to shows. It can’t just be the same, like, 15 people at every show.

What would you say to someone who doesn’t think there is any music going on in Spokane?

Um, start it! People have always complained about how, “Well, my music’s not here,” but if you’re into, I don’t know, industrial country music, start an industrial country band. Start going to shows. Talk to people. Play an instrument. I mean, starting a band can be weird — it’s kind of like deciding to grow your hair out. At first it’s awkward and you don’t really want anyone to see it. But then you let it go for a while and eventually it’s glorious. n

Even with Deal’s departure last year, the Pixies are still going strong, recently released a new studio album, Indie Cindy, something they hadn’t done in more than two decades.

Discouraged by what he thinks computers can produce to replace people, Stone keeps his music, especially his live performances, filled with irreplaceable soul. Stone quickly gained popularity in 2011 with his self-titled album on his own label, including radio hits like “Sleep.” Now, alongside his new co-producer Magnus Tingsek — who Stone discovered as an Internet fan himself — he’s working to release a new album later this year. His concert here falls near the end of an 85-date headlining tour. (MS) Knitting Factory, $20, 8 pm

Best known as Gillian Welch’s longtime musical partner, Dave Rawlings is a fine vocalist and guitar-picker in his own right.

Smith’s documentary about a group of strangers from different countries, lifestyles and age groups who walk the ancient Camino de Santiago in northern Spain as part of a modern-day pilgrimage.

Smith will be on hand at the Oct. 10 and 11 screenings to answer questions about the film, and the two screenings on Oct. 12 are followed by a presentation from Gonzaga University alumna Maggie Cech, who walked the trail in 2013 before joining on to help with the film.

Order one-of-a-kind cakes or eat cake from a jar at Lake’s Cakes

BY JO MILLER

A

fter seven years working for the Department of Corrections, Ryan Lake quit to pursue something he’d been thinking of doing for a long time.

“A cake shop has always been on the radar,” Lake says.

He’s been baking for a long time, but over the past dozen years, Lake taught himself via trial and error to decorate cakes — sculpting methods, fondant technique and all.

“It was throw away, start over, throw away, start over,” he says. “Before I knew it, I was making things that made sense.”

At Lake’s Cakes, which he opened at the beginning of August, you can order whatever kind of 3-D cake you can dream up.

There are no set sizes, prices or designs.

“We like the out-of-the-box stuff,” says Lake. “I like stuff that people come to me and say, ‘Will you even do this?’” For example, divorce cakes, chainsaw cakes, Pac-Man cakes and gothic wedding cakes are some of Lake’s favorites so far.

If you ask to see his portfolio, he’ll show it to you, but only to see his abilities. He doesn’t want you to look, point and say, “I want that one.”

“I want to sit down and do something that’s completely out of your brain,” he says. “We’ll figure it out together. It won’t be a cookie-cutter cake.”

Two months before Lake opened the bakery, he needed a grab-and-go item to go along with the coffee menu. He was fervently against cupcakes (not because cupcakes aren’t good, he clarifies; because so many places sell them), but recalled a friend in Iraq who used to receive jarred cake in care packages from his mom.

So Lake decided to bake cake in Mason jars ($5.50). Rotating flavors like maple bacon, spiced apple, lemon blueberry and cinnamon roll stay moist and fluffy for up to five days in the unopened jars, and he has a rewarding recycling system: Bring back five empties and get one free jar cake.

Lake plans to keep the Mason jar trend going. Soon he’ll be making fudge in 4-ounce jars and cooking up 12-ounce breakfast and lunch jars. Think layered biscuits and gravy or jalapeño mac and cheese. n Lake’s Cakes • 1718 N. Hamilton • Open Mon-Fri, 7 am-7 pm; Sat, 9 am-7 pm; Sun, 9 am-5 pm • lakescakesspokane.com • 999-1208

Driver’s Seat

An all-star cast looks good, even at a funeral. find resonant material, Tropper and director Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) have to squeeze in several attempts at big comedic set pieces that strain harder for wackiness every time the volume gets raised. Were you not laughing hard enough when the toddler hurls his poop-filled potty around the room? Just wait until the baby monitor catches Paul and Alice in an upstairs bedroom trying to conceive, or when various Altman siblings start wrestling one another in a living room or front yard. August: Osage County starts to feel like a quiet, restrained portrait of familial dysfunction by comparison.

Yet somehow — if only by sheer will power of the talented actors — This Is Where I Leave You still sometimes finds honest moments in complex family relationships.

Paul (Corey Stoll), his sister Wendy (Tina Fey) and Bateman and Fey share lovely scenes that capture the youngest brother Phillip (Driver), a perpetual screw-up. closer connection between them than the other Altman Adapting his own novel, screenwriter Jonathan kids, while Paul’s frustrations with the much younger Tropper packs an entire soap-opera season’s worth of Phillip capture a dynamic between them that’s more subplots into this grieving gathering. Wendy has two paternal than fraternal. Whenever the movie takes a kids with a workaholic jerk — we know he’s a workaholic second to stop its frantic attempts at hilarity or moving jerk because he’s always on his cellphone and yelling at someone’s story along, it can be quite charming. his kids and whatnot — while still pining for her college And then there’s Driver — best known sweetheart (Timothy Olyphant).

modest proposal, before diving into the rest of the muddled, sporadically appealing This Is Where I Leave You: Adam Driver should read all the lines, in all the movies. Just all of them.

There are many ways to know when you’re in the presence of a true scene-stealing wizard. Usually it happens when a minor character appears in a story, and you can’t help but wish that you were watching a movie just about that character instead. This Is Where I Leave You is structured mostly as an ensemble piece, with approximately a dozen characters getting significant story points, yet there was scarcely a moment during its 103 minutes when I wasn’t hoping it would turn to Driver, just to see what kind of crazy-ass spin he would put on every possible snippet of dialogue.

Unfortunately, it’s focused mostly on Judd Altman (Jason Bateman), a simple guy whose marriage is falling apart just as he receives the call that his father has passed away. So off he heads to the family home in upstate New York for the funeral, and to learn from his mother, Hillary (Jane Fonda), that Dad had one last request: the entire family should sit shiva for the full traditional seven days. That means an often-contentious week for Judd, stuck in the same house with Mom, his older brother

OPENING FILMS THE MAZE RUNNER

A group of displaced young men with erased memories find themselves trapped in a deserted wasteland with no way out, except for a treacherous maze known to kill those who dare enter. A mysterious and powerful force keeps the prisoners hostage and in constant fear. Once Thomas arrives on the scene, he inspires the group to attempt an escape as they try to solve the mystery of their capture. (MS) Rated PG-13

THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU

Judd (Jason Bateman) is a simple guy whose marriage is falling apart just as he receives the call that his father has passed away.

THE TRIP TO ITALY

Over six amazing Italian courses, old coworkers Steve and Rob, played by Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, respectively, develop their quirky friendship on a food critic tour. The two share silly conversations, delicious meals and whimsical adventures among the backdrop of the Italian countryside.

With feel-good side plots of romance and self-discovery, the film’s overall story stays close to the food and the landscape. (MS) Not Rated

TUSK

Kevin Smith has finally made a masterpiece. It’s a mad scientist story with more twists than a knot-tying competition. A jerky podcaster (Justin Long) who makes fun of freaky people on his show, becomes one himself when he’s snared by a crazy coot (Michael Parks) who intends to turn him into a walrus, for reasons that are explained and, to some, will make sense. A hilarious and heavily disguised and accented Johnny Depp shows up as a disgraced detective, and a certain Fleetwood Mac song is played loud and proud on the soundtrack. (ES) Rated R

WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES

Liam Neeson stars as Matthew Scudder, an unofficial detective in search of the men who killed his client’s wife.

As bits of information are revealed, he discovers that the killers had more intricate plans than he expected and the kidnapping was not random. Playing with our worst nightmares, this thriller explores the darkest sides of revenge at the cost of human lives. (MS) Rated R

THE ZERO THEOREM

Everything adds up to nothing, according to computer hacker Qohen Leth, who is working to discover the meaning of human existence. Leth finds himself longingly awaiting a call to provide him with exact answers to his search, but is manipulated by a management that coerces him into crunching the numbers himself. Meanwhile, Leth also becomes lost in virtual reality and finds trouble discovering what truth. Directed by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python and Fear and Loathing fame, this bizarre film explores our need to know up from down. At Magic Lantern (MS) Rated R

The trilogy’s finale follows Dagny Taggart (Laura Regan) and her relationship with the mysterious John Galt (Kristoffer Polaha) — individualism personified in Rand’s eyes — as he takes on what he sees as a corrupt, collectivist economic structure. The only bigger question than how the filmmakers will handle Galt’s infamous 60-page monologue in the book might be why anyone made a Part III when the first two Atlas Shrugged chapters utterly bombed.

BOYHOOD

Richard Linklater’s newest film, shot over the course of 12 years, is a true masterwork and eschews the big-bang theory of dramatics in favor of the million-andone little things that accumulate daily and help shape who we are, and who we will become. The story focuses on Mason, who we follow from age 7 to 19 as he struggles with divorced parents and the process of learning how to navigate the world. (MB) Rated R ...continued on next page

It’s been a few years since James Franco’s ape Caesar took smart pills and then led every other ape in the greater Bay Area on a rampage of epic proportions. Those smart pills ended up causing a worldwide epidemic, killing off much of the human race. War took care of many others. Now, the surviving humans are bristling up against the apes, led by Caesar and the two species are on the brink of war. (MB) Rated PG-13

DOLPHIN TALE 2

Re-assembling the cast from the original Dolphin Tale — Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, Kris Kristofferson, Harry Connick Jr. and that big, flapping pelican, Rufus — the second installment continues a few years after the last tale ended. After her elderly pool mate and surrogate mother passes, Winter (the dolphin with the prosthetic tail) becomes depressed. As dolphins are very social creatures, her caregivers must quickly find a replacement pool mate or their beloved sea friend may be taken away to another aquarium. (LJ) Rated PG

THE DROP

Love it or leave it, James Gandolfini’s role as Cousin Marv — a beaten-down dive bar owner who owes his neighborhood Chechen mafia a lot more than a fistful of dollars — was his last. And it’s memorable in its weary grace notes. Adapted

by Dennis Lehane from his own short story “Animal Rescue,” this movie is like a short story in ways both good and bad.

It’s tightly wound, concise, and compact, but some characters feel merely shaded in. (MS) Rated R.

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

The girl has cancer, the boy is in remission from cancer; this story can only end badly.

As far as teenage cancer love stories go, John Green’s recent young adult novel of the same name isn’t half bad — not nearly as sappy as A Walk to Remember.

Shailene Woodley (The Descendants, Divergent) plays the lead. (LJ) Rated PG-13

But then she’s on a family car trip with her parents (Mireille Enos and Joshua Leonard) and younger brother (Jakob Davies) that turns tragic. Mia awakens from the wreckage of an accident on an icy road to find that she hasn’t actually awakened: Her body is in critical condition, and her out-of-body experience allows her to see the life to which she could return. (SR) Rated PG-13

LET’S BE COPS

Best friends Ryan (Jake Johnson from New Girl) and Justin (Damon Wayans Jr.) dress up as cops for a costume party, only to realize they like the attention the uniform gains them. Things quickly escalate however, when they get involved with some real mobsters. Soon their pretend badges aren’t nearly as fun as they used to be. Meanwhile, many ridiculous gags keep the audience laughing (many involving comedians Rob Riggle and KeeganMichael Key) until the plot has to kick in at the end. (LJ) Rated R

A LIFE OF CRIME

Novelist Elmore Leonard’s trademark blend of comedy and action has made for some winning films (Get Shorty, Jackie Brown) and some not-so-memorable efforts (the less said about The Big Bounce, the better). They always attract a cast eager to tear into his dazzling dialogue, and for Life of Crime, an adaptation of his novel The Switch, the likes of Tim Robbins, Isla Fisher, Jennifer Aniston, John Hawkes and Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) are on board for the tale of bumbling criminals who kidnap a corrupt real-estate developer’s wife, only to realize he’s not interested in paying any ransom to get her back. At Magic Lantern (DN) Rated R

MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT

Stanley (Colin Firth) is a touring stage illusionist who also delights in acting as a debunker of fraudulent mediums and di-

viners of all kinds. So when he’s informed by an old friend that a young woman named Sophie (Emma Stone) is enjoying the patronage of a wealthy family in France while claiming to make contact with the dead husband of the matriarch (Jacki Weaver), Stanley is more than happy to take on the job of exposing her.

(SR) Rated PG-13

NO GOOD DEED

It’s the ultimate nightmare for any female who’s been left alone at home for the weekend, or one who lives alone: home invasion. A handsome stranger (Idris Elba, who knows how to play a baddie well — see The Wire) shows up at a woman’s home (Taraji P. Henson) while her husband is away one stormy night asking to use her phone. When the man, an escaped convict, finds his way into the house, she must fend for the lives of her children and herself. (LJ) Rated PG-13

THE NOVEMBER MAN

Pierce Brosnan stars as a fierce ex-CIA member who winds up back in the game and chasing after a killer he trained himself. He’s formerly known as November Man because “after he’s through, nothing lives.” Even in the age of retirement, the November Man is equally matched with the young man he now calls enemy, but may not be prepared for the involvement of high-profile CIA and Russian government members. (MS) Rated R

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

Your favorite post-pubescent crime-fighting amphibians are back on the big screen after a couple decades away and they have a bit of a different look, but still love to kick butt and eat pizza. This doesn’t stray far from the established TMNT storyline as the four ninjas go after a crime lord who is trying to destroy New York.

Megan Fox stars as television reporter April O’Neil. (MB) Rated PG-13

WHEN THE GAME STANDS TALL

It remains one of the most incredible winning streaks of all time. Between 1992 and 2003, De La Salle High school in Concord, California, won 151 consecutive games.

This film is based on a 2003 book about the team and details the sometimes turbulent experiences of the players and coaches who played for the school during and after the record streak. Stars Jim “dude who played Jesus” Caviezel as legendary head coach Bob Ladouceur. (MB) Rated PG 

You Are the Walrus Did Kevin Smith seriously make his best film yet by venturing into campy horror?

MOVIE TIMES on

BY ED SYMKUS n ambitious podcaster named Wallace (Justin Long), whose shows thoughtlessly center on making fun of “weirdos,” walks in to an isolated mansion deep in the woods of Manitoba. Howard Howe (Michael Parks), the wheelchair-bound “adventurer” who lured him there, spins some imaginative tales of survival at sea, drugs him, cuts off his left leg and, when Wallace awakens, addresses him as Mr. Tusk.

How’s that for the first few minutes of Kevin Smith’s horror-comedy and, dare I say it, masterpiece? Smith has sculpted scads of seemingly unrelated characters and incidents into a crisp script that’s drenched with rich irony, gruesome visuals (nothing, thank goodness, in the realms of bloody torture porn) and outright hilarity.

We learn early on that Howard owes his life to the walrus that once saved him, and now, in his loneliness, he wants a walrus of his own to keep him company. His method: Find a hapless human, commence with surgery, stuff him into a “walrus suit.” By coincidence, he lands a man who makes fun of freaks for a living, then turns him into one. There’s some irony for ya. As is the fact that his victim is named Wallace (pretty darn close to walrus, right?).

We get plenty of screen time with his hideous creation (those gruesome visuals that sent about four dozen people for the exits when I saw the film; the remaining thousand or so applauded at the end). We also get plentiful doses of goofball

NR

comedy, much of it a direct hit on Canadians (a supersized soda cup at a Winnipeg quick mart has “Chug-eh-lug” printed on it), most of it courtesy of cross-eyed, messy-haired, outrageously French-Canadian-accented former homicide detective Guy Lapointe (Johnny Depp), who, for years, has been hot on the trail of a certain mad scientist/serial killer.

Everyone in the film plays it straight, from the terror-stricken Long (who is limited to grunting and TUSK screeching in the Rated R movie’s second Written and directed by Kevin Smith half) to the Starring Justin Long, Michael Parks, friends searching Johnny Depp, Haley Joel Osment for him (Genesis Rodriguez and Haley Joel Osment!) and Parks, whose character’s calm storytelling manner contrasts perfectly with his total insanity. And there’s that Depp fellow: He has nothing to do with playing it straight, opting for and scoring with a screwball sensibility.

Smith keeps everything mysterious and fascinating until the final 10 minutes, when he furiously loads the film up with explanatory details about why everything is happening, neatly squeezing in a clip of Fleetwood Mac’s percussive “Tusk” to ideal effect.

Is this Kevin Smith’s best film? I don’t know, but right now it sure is my favorite. 

Taking the Lead Gillian Welch’s almostsilent partner leads a true “supergroup” in the Dave Rawlings Machine

BY DAN NAILEN

ave Rawlings is best known as the longtime musical partner of Americana songstress Gillian Welch and as a producer and cowriter for artists unafraid of a little twang in their tunes, including Ryan Adams and Bright Eyes.

Comfortable playing second fiddle to Welch on stage or toiling in the shadows of a recording studio, he’s also led his own band, the Dave Rawlings Machine, for nearly a decade.

Welch is the sole other permanent member, and there’s only been one album released — 2009’s Friend of a Friend. But late last year, Rawlings decided he’d like to tour a bit and put together an iteration of the Machine featuring an incredible crew of musicians. Punch Brother Paul Kowert, former Old Crow Medicine Show member Willie Watson and a fellow named John Paul Jones (yes, that would be Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones) are all part of the Machine again for a short stint on the road in 2014, fleshing out the guitar/vocal interplay he and Welch have showcased for years.

Seeing his name on the marquee still isn’t routine for Rawlings — he jokes, with a distinct high-pitched laugh, that there are “at least two people in the band I’d rather hear sing than myself” — but he loves the ability of the Machine to take his songs to places impossible for he and Welch to find as a duo.

“It’s been easier each run as we’ve been finding our way as a band,” Rawlings says of leading the current Machine. “I’ve grown into this a little bit over the years. The role of lead singer is one thing, but the role of being kind of a bandleader is more natural. Working with Gillian, or producing records, I’m used to thinking about a whole picture, or a whole group, and how it will sound at a given moment.”

The response to the recent shows has been overwhelming to the jocular Rhode Island native, now sporting a slight Nashville accent. The biggest difference between the Dave Rawlings Machine and what he and Welch typically do “lies in how we have to alter what we do to fit in with three other musicians.”

And playing with Jones, Kowert and Watson, as well as Welch, well, “I’d be a fool not to do that as often as possible,” Rawlings says.

The Inlander asked Rawlings to describe what each “part” of the Machine brings to the group:

PAUL KOWERT

“If JPJ and Paul and I are just picking out a tune in a circle, Paul can keep up with anything we can play, improvising all together,” Rawlings says of the classically trained double bassist.

“He’s got the ear and the ability to stay right with you, which is really a shocking thing on the upright, a challenging, physical instrument to play. There aren’t that many guys in the world who have that kind of ability.”

WILLIE WATSON

“We’ve always had a similar appreciation for old-time music up through the early folk records,” Rawlings says of Watson, whose debut solo album Rawlings produced earlier this year.

“Willie is a terrific singer; he’s vastly overqualified to be singing baritone to me. With this little group, I didn’t know how it would all fit when we started. Willie played some guitar, and some banjo, and then he started playing a little fiddle. He definitely brings that old-time spice, which is great.” ...continued on next page

MUSIC | AMERICANA “TAKING THE LEAD,” CONTINUED...

JOHN PAUL JONES

“He’s always had a real love of acoustic music, and he’s a really talented mandolin player,” Rawlings says of Jones, who took a break from composing an opera to join the Machine on this tour. “I have a little cross-picking thing I do on the guitar, and he does a similar thing on the mandolin.

We played a little the first day we met, and we immediately sort of felt our two instruments and two styles fell in nicely together. That interplay, that ability for one of us to be soloing and the other to be trading off, that’s one of my favorite things about playing with the Machine — when he and I get really stirred up. For me, it’s hard to believe it happens, let alone happens on a nightly basis.”

GILLIAN WELCH

“We’ve always been interested in the fact that if we take a song and I sing lead on it, as opposed to Gillian, there’s just a different feel to how we play,” Rawlings says. “That’s kind of why we started doing [the Machine] in 2005. I joke that the Machine is just like our other band, but with a worse lead singer. We’re both big fans of what we call ‘squirrely, male lead singers,’ not card-carrying, world-class vocalists.

And if you think of people that sing that way, one of the things that makes it work is really nice-sounding harmony singing. And that’s what Gill does that really makes this all work.” n dann@inlander.com Dave Rawlings Machine • Tue, Sept. 23, at 8 pm • $32.50 • All-ages • Bing Crosby Theater • 901 W.

MUSIC | PUNK

Bassist Mike Watt (center) has delved into Italian punk with his recent endeavor Il Sogno Del Marinaio.

Eager to Learn

Legendary bassist Mike Watt is still excited by everything music has to offer

BY AZARIA PODPLESKY

T

hough Mike Watt has been playing bass for more than 40 years, he still considers himself a student.

“There’s a danger about being around a little while. You think you know it all,” he says from Los Angeles. “Nobody can ever know it all, no matter how long they live or what they’ve done.”

Watt’s thirst for knowledge began as a founding member of

the pioneering punk band the Minutemen. Since then, he’s gone on to create Dos, fIREHOSE, the Secondmen and the Missingmen, and has also played with the Stooges since 2003.

More recently, his educational endeavors led Watt to form Il Sogno Del Marinaio (Italian for “The Sailor’s Dream”), an experimental rock trio with Italian musicians Ste-

fano Pilia on guitar and Andrea Belfi on drums.

“I’m getting into middle age, and I’ve found that it’s really important to keep learning,” he reiterates. “A situation like [Il Sogno Del Marinaio] is totally up that alley.”

Watt met Pilia in 2005 when the latter acted as a guide while Watt toured Italy in support of his solo “rock opera” album, The Secondman’s Middle Stand. In

2009, Pilia emailed Watt and asked if he would play a festival with him and Belfi in Italy.

After writing original material for the show, the trio played the festival and promptly embarked on a six-gig European tour, setting aside two days in the studio to record its debut, La Busta Gialla (The Yellow Envelope), which was released last year.

The situation was similar when the trio returned to Italy to record its sophomore album, Canto Secondo (Second Song). After a European tour, Il Sogno spent eight days in the studio, resulting in, as Watt says, the band finding its voice.

“The first one, we didn’t really know each other,” he says. “The second one was neat because we could bring a voice from the band.”

After two albums, Watt says that Pilia and Belfi’s technical skills and “sincere spirit” have shown him that punk is alive and well.

“We both come from part of the punk movement, even if we’re 20 years apart,” Watt, 56, says. “They show me that that wasn’t just some freaky thing that happened.”

Playing with his new group has taught Watt more about music’s transcendent nature.

“You don’t have to be from the same generation,” he says.

“You don’t have to be from the same country. You can share.

Music can be like a good flannel — lots of different threads go together to make a neat pattern.” n Il Sogno Del Marinaio with Balloons or Bullets and Orensha • Sun, Sept. 21, at 8 pm • $10 • All-ages • The Hop! • 706 N. Monroe • thehopevents.com • 368-4077

or anyone disappointed that Gregg Allman canceled his Spokane show in July, Gov’t Mule — known simply as the Mule to fans — could almost fill that void.

The group began as a side project for Allman Brothers Band guitarist Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody, continuing their similar Southern blues-rock, jam-band flavor while adding a harder sound. Woody passed away in 2000, but the group continued on.

The Alabama native released her third album, Blue Dream, last month, prompting a tour that stops in Spokane.

Her sound on the new album really is like a dream — not quite easy to grasp but still present.

VISUAL ART MOVING OUTSIDE

Centennial Trail users who frequent its stretch passing the grounds of Gonzaga’s Jundt Art Museum likely have noticed the recent addition of a number of large-scale, abstract sculptures dotting the grassy expanse. Thirteen in all, the iconic steel sculptures are the work of David Hayes, a prominent sculptor whose career spanned six decades. Hayes’ work has been showcased at top art institutions including the Guggenheim and MoMA, but this is the first exhibition of his work west of the Rockies. In this exhibit, nature and art come together as one. In addition to the outdoor display, five smaller pieces are featured inside the museum. The exhibit continues through next summer, giving the structures a chance to change in different light shades and seasons.

Just like his cartoons, Milt Priggee can be interpreted many different ways. But when it comes to the most insightful and enigmatic section of the daily newspaper, he would rather do the interpreting himself. The nationally syndicated political cartoonist and former Spokesman-Review staffer returns to the Inland Northwest to shed light on what makes political cartoonists tick; covering everything from the evolution of political cartooning in the digital age to explanations of his own controversial work. Priggee’s work has appeared in New York Times, Newsweek and the Washington Post.

Bluegrass hounds have ample reason to make their way to Worley, Idaho, this weekend as the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort goes “old-timey” for an epic fiddle contest. The weekend kicks off with a show by arguably the best bluegrass band on the planet, the Del McCoury Band. Together, Del and his boys have won nine Entertainer of the Year awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association, and the individual members have likewise been recognized for their instrumental prowess — Del’s son Ronnie is simply one of the best mandolin players you’ll ever hear.

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY this weekend COMMUNITY GLOW FAST

The themed alternative fun-run trend doesn’t stop with mud, colored powder, slime and foam. Coming to Spokane this weekend is a locally founded (by the folks who put on July’s Negative Split), inaugural glow run along the Centennial Trail. Just as its name implies, this 3.1-mile event is all about the neon and glow-in-the-dark. Attendees should go all out with glowsticks, blinky lights and day-glo attire to stand out along the illuminated course, which also features “party stations” at each half-mile. This event doesn’t end when runners cross the finish line. There’s an all-ages, post-race party in the breezeway of the INB, with music, food and drink to recharge after what’s anticipated to be a high-energy evening run.

— CHEY SCOTT Glow in the Park • Sat, Sept. 20, at 7:45 pm; pre-party at 6 pm • $12/10 and under; $44-$56/adults • All-ages • Riverfront Park • the5kglowrun.com

FILM ETERNITY IN THE FOREST

No one wants to talk about death. And we similarly avoid discussing what plot of soil or ceramic vessel will hold whatever remains of our bodies after we’ve passed on. Eventually, though, we have to deal with that inevitability, and the documentary A Will for the Woods will have you contemplating your final resting spot, perhaps sooner than you’d expect. The film profiles the green burial movement — which buries people in forests rather than a clear-cut cemetery, with a focus on sustainable practices — by following a psychologist who is dying of lymphoma and has decided he wants to be buried in the woods. It’s a touching and introspective film that has been snagging festival awards across the country, and you’ll see why.

RELATIONSHIPS

Advice Goddess DOODY-BOUND

You printed a letter from a guy who doesn’t want to be a father and wanted to know how to be sure his girlfriend is on birth control. You said, “The single worst form of birth control is trusting that a woman … longing for a baby” is taking hers (with whether she’s ethical being a “mitigating factor”). But you forgot to tell him the magic word -- abstinence! In addition to preventing pregnancy, it also guarantees that you won’t get STDs AMY ALKON or suffer the physically or psychologically damaging effects of premarital sex. Also, where’d you get the idea that women are conniving to get a bun in the oven without informing their partner? Right, we’re all baby-hungry, unethical hopeful breeders.

— Saved Myself I like to offer “Don’t have sex!” as a form of practical advice -- usually just as I’m getting into my flying car.

Yes, abstaining from sex will help a person avoid producing offspring, getting STDs, or breaking a leg after somebody cheaps out on the home dungeon installation. But there’s a reason they call it a sex drive, not a sex parked in the garage.

Also, the advice “Just don’t have sex!” is especially impractical for guys in their hornitoadinous early 20s like the guy who wrote that letter. Sure, he’ll just sit his 800-pound libido down for a little chat and then politely decline any opportunity to have sex as if he’d just been offered some questionable hors d’oeuvre.

As for where I got the idea about (some) women “conniving to get a bun in the oven without informing their partner,” well, in email I’ve received from dismayed men paying child support to these women and from research by therapist Dr. Melinda Spohn. Spohn found that more than a third of the 400 women she surveyed at two community colleges had risked pregnancy -- surreptitiously going without birth control or sporadically using it when they had sex with men with desirable qualities (like an apparent willingness to commit and good financial prospects).

On a positive note, it isn’t only men who are appalled by this behavior. A female reader who wanted a second child but whose husband wasn’t up for it wrote, “I can’t even remember how many people heard this and said ‘well, accidents happen,’ followed by a *wink wink.* Seriously, it’s disgusting! Even our family doctor said this! I’ve always been sure to make those people feel about two inches tall by saying that I would NEVER do that to my husband (and honestly, who wants a child this way?!).”

This woman’s ethics are the single best guarantee a man has that birth control will be used instead of dropped behind the bed. Meanwhile, many people will tell you they value ethics and then just cross their fingers and hope their partner has them. The thing to do is to make ethics a requirement, meaning looking for a partner to be OMG ethical!!! the way you look for them to be OMG hot!!! In other words, yes, a man who doesn’t want a child should practice abstinence -- the practical, doable kind: abstaining from getting into bed with any woman until he’s observed that he has reason to trust her. (If he wants something loud, sticky, and expensive in his life, he can buy a Ferrari and drive it over chewed gum.)

LEICA WOMAN SCORNED

My girlfriend bought me a digital camera for my birthday. Unfortunately, the one she got me lacked some features I wanted, so I returned it to the store, got the camera I wanted, and paid the difference. When I told her this, I think she was offended. Did I screw up?

An email for food lovers

When people say about gift-giving “it’s the thought that counts,” they don’t mean the recipient’s thought, “Did you find this in the trash?”

Yes, you screwed up -- not by ultimately getting the camera you need but by making the one she gave you disappear like a witness about to testify against a drug lord. Turning the gift your partner gave you into the gift you want should be a threestep process. First, there’s the effusing -- no matter how uneffusive you feel: “Wow, bat excrement!” Then there’s the waiting. One day, maybe two days. And finally…”I just love my camera, honey. But there’s another one that has this feature I really need -- this camera-nerd thing you couldn’t have known about. Would you come with me to check it out?” By keeping her involved, the camera you upgrade to becomes, essentially, Son of Camera that she gave you. By the way, that’s how you should start talking about your new camera, and fast, before you find yourself using it to take a series of forlorn all-by-myselfies to post on your soon-to-be-live Tinder profile. n ©2014, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. • Got a problem?

ast month, the first legal edibles were sold in the state of Washington. While the weed-infused carnival nuts, trail mix and other goodies sold out on their first day, the concern about the potency of edibles is food for thought.

Most attest that the high is greater than from smoking — if that is what you’re after — but regulation of edibles is in the infancy stage. and you should be warned that the innocent-looking brownie, Rice Krispy treat or cookie could cause you serious harm.

Washington has set up state-run labs to help regulate consistency, but here are a few steps you can take to dope appropriately.

1

Know your body: Understand how marijuana affects you based on your body mass, age, gender, metabolism and body chemistry. Convey your information to the budtender, regardless of how

much you smoke, and take his or her advice on how much to consume. Plus, remember that THC — the active ingredient in marijuana — has a fickle relationship with fat cells, and the THC “lives” in your body long after you’ve consumed it.

2

Eat before you eat: Treat an edible like you would Vicodin, Percocet or other painkillers — never consume it on an empty stomach. Even if you are just going to eat a little bit of an edible, make sure to eat it with noncannabis food.

Wait: Start slow, and then wait. THC can take much longer to take effect than when smoking — sometimes as long as two hours. So wait before consuming a second dose.

Expect a different high: Even regular smokers should be aware that the high is different and plan accordingly. Because edibles typically have a much higher amount of THC — up to 10 times as much — the high can literally lay people out. 

TIP OF THE WEEK

A recently launched “Sleep Well, Be Well” campaign is informing people nationwide about the benefits of catching enough Z’s. Statistics from the CDC show that 28 percent of U.S. adults only sleep for six hours or less each night, in contrast to the seven to nine hours that doctors suggest. The deficiency of rest can lead to a number of health issues, including mental health problems, obesity and poor immune health. So go on, take that nap. (American Academy of Sleep Medicine)

Pig Out In The Park I saw you with your daughter/grand daughter at the table next to us eating corn, Monday, September 1st at noon.

see you again. Maybe meet at the sapphire sometime. Get well soon!

would call dignity. You tried. You tried hard, but because you didn’t get your fairy tale doesn’t mean you failed. If you would stop and turn around you will see everything you will ever need is right there, waiting to catch you when you fall, and still seeing you as the most beautiful thing on the planet, and still seeing you as I saw you that morning by the window. Please turn around and look back at me too. I love you. Bury the harvester of sorrow and make a life with me.

Its because of you, and for you, I’m still here.

you and your red hair, your LOTR tattoo, your kisses and your tight hugs, the way you make my brain go fuzzy and how you make me blush. I love your stubborn self more than I will ever be able to express and I am so sorry for that.

It looks like I do deserve that cone of shame after all. With all my love, you know who.

Daily Grind Downtown You: Tan skin, muscular build, shaved head.

You were balancing your flip flop with your other flip flop. You definitely have some skills. I’d love to find out what other skills you have. Want to meet for coffee?

Elevator Girl Elevator girl. On Saturday, September 6th, we met in an elevator at The Couer D’Alene Casino. You said you lived nearby at Black Rock. You told me to have fun and might run into each other later.

I liked your attitude and it could be fun. gr8wa3@hotmail.com Maybe golf or rafting, but open to suggestions. Get ahold of me and we will chat. later, Elevator girl.

Silver Lake I saw you on the evening of the 4th of July, we were at Silver Lake Wa. setting off fireworks on the dock and l looked over and saw you, you were standing on the dock and you were wearing white, l came over and talked to you and introduced myself, you said your name was Linda. We talked about how awesome the fireworks were and you said you used to live in Hayden and and they were never that cool, then my grandson’s little friend, like another grandkid to me, told you his name was Hunter, and told you this is my grumpy his name is Glenn then ran off. You told me you came out with a group off friends for the 4th, l would really like to talk to you more, l was stupid and only got your first name, l am hoping you or maybe one of your group will see this and contact me, really hope you do Bistango I met you at Bistango.

Your pretty smile, pretty deep brown eyes, blue and green top and your rockin cowgirl boots had me stunned. I think you are an amazing lady and I really hope I

you. In that five seconds I knew I was looking at the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, and it was in that five seconds I knew I loved you, and that I always would. I saw beauty, grace, confidence, respect, intelligence, mass sex appeal, ambition, tenderness, innocence, knowledge, stability, and my best friend was now the woman I wanted to be with forever and still is. I saw a person that was as guilty of making mistakes as I was, but had a desire and goal to better herself and become a better mom, friend, lover, and a person that made this world a better place because you were in it. What you think you have now to call happiness, and what you put yourself through to help justify your cause, is hopeless now. As the most important thing in my life, it kills me to see you hurting and struggling and going without so you can maintain what others

Bicyclist Trash Picker Cheers to the bicyclist riding home from work on September 10th, up the steepest part of Southeast Blvd. But not too tired to stop your bike and pick up a soda can on the side of the road and put it in your plastic garbage bag. So glad I was able to witness this silent act of beautification of our city. THANK YOU!!

Good Samaritan I would like to thank the stranger that assisted my father on September 11th, in the Shari’s parking lot on Division.

My father has diabetes and when he exited his vehicle he fell to the ground. A complete stranger saw the situation and acted very responsibly when they called 911.

It warms my heart that there are still good people in Spokane. So thank you again kind stranger, your actions are very appreciated.

My Beautiful One I saw you the first time at a mutual friends house.

Almost nine years ago now. After a while we became friends. Best friends. I thought you were great, and soon thoughts of you were in my head and then in my heart.

You helped me get through some bad times and I looked for your reassurance and compassion in my darkest hour. But then I saw you. I really saw you. In the morning after breakfast when you stood up to walk in the kitchen. The sun was pouring in the windows, and you stopped just to look at the scenery through the glass. The sunlight on your face and in your hair, and how it outlined your beautiful body, was breathtaking. My heart stopped and the world stood still just for

Thanks For The Kindness Thank you to the considerate Spokane County Sheriff who followed my limping Lexus with the flashing hazard lights down Freya to the Fred Meyer gas station parking lot this September 11th morning, saw me safely parked, and drove on.

I appreciate that very much and want to be sure to say it!

you with all of my heart and I will stand by you through anything. To be honest with you, I don’t have the words to make you feel better, but I do have the arms to give you a hug, ears to listen to whatever you want to talk about, and I have a heart; a heart thats aching to see you smile again

You Saw Me You almost hit me.

Look out for me. I’m on a bike and I have the right of way. You saw me coming and you tried to gun it and if I hadn’t moved my left leg I’d be in the hospital. Get some sense.

Your kid saw me, why didn’t you.

Never try to “gun” it again.

Handsome I thank God every day to have you in my life. I can’t thank you enough for all the support through this crazy journey... even keeping me fed on a regular basis and putting up the everything that goes along with this prep..... almost there, here’s to a healthier lifestyle, with 1 cheat meal a week. I LOVE YOU more than anything Centennial Trail Users Cheers to my fellow Centennial Trail users! Your smiles, nods, waves, and “Good morning” make my running and biking even more enjoyable. We are all lucky to have this path with such beautiful views.

Sugar Shane Here’s to me, teenage runaway, High School dropout. A complete 180 in life. I find myself starting my 2nd year of grad school with a near perfect GPA. Dirt poor, single father, former soldier and volunteer firefighter that kicks ass and takes names later. Go me!

Park Angel Thank you so much to the person who found my phone at rock hard at the park and turned it in after letting my boyfriend know I had left it. I was there with my mom and we had so much stuff with us that I just didn’t know it was gone until he called and said you turned it in to one of his staff members.

Not only is there no way I could afford to replace it, but it had all the pictures from my sons birthday and first day of school and those are irreplaceable. Thank you a million times for saving my arse on this.

I owe you a dinner or a drink or something! If you would like to take me up on the offer respond in the next inlander with the same title Dot Today is a very hard day for you my love, it breaks my heart to see how much you miss your friend. I love you and I would do anything to make the pain go away but we both know from experience I can’t do that. What I can do is continue to hold your hand and be your friend. Take comfort, my dear, that even with the sorrow in your heart, you still bring so much joy and comfort to those around you with the compassion you so willingly give. I am so proud of you for staying strong and not allowing your grief to revive your past demons. I love

Happy Birthday Baby Girl! 11 and a half years ago you opened a door to my heart. I remember that day like it was yesterday. Your beauty attacted me to you, but you made me fall in love with you. You are the perfect example of beauty. You are my hope, my dream, my life.

This world was blessed with your presence on the day you were born.

You are my best friend, I will always love you. Happy Birthday Baby Girl.

Love you.

Jeers Stealing From A Cancer Survivor’s Garden This is beyond low. Last week you crept into my friend’s garden on 9th Ave. and stole all of the produce she had lovingly planted and nurtured. She is being treated for cancer and this garden is a healing part of her life, a source of joy in a time of hardship for her and her family. Shame on you for adding to their misery. If you have any soul at all, you would come to her with food in your hands and an apology on your lips.

Spokane Drivers It is a sunny summer day, the roads are great, not a cloud in the sky. There you are driving oblivious to the line of cars behind you on a one way road. If this is you, move over and let them pass. When the speed limit is 55 and you are driving below that, you are a nuisance to others. Be courteous, get off your phone or surrender your licence. If you do not feel safe driving proper speeds, then it may be time to call it quits behind the wheel. If this is you, and there are lots of them, pay attention!

Missing My Baby I am sorry baby girl. Love you please forgive me I never meant to hurt you.

RE: Drunk Drivers Beware Wow, so what you are saying is that it’s ok to break the law using your cell phone while driving to call in a driver who leaves a bar? Cell phone use while driving kills more people now than DUIs. What are you gonna do now force everyone with a cell phone to go to a loser 12 step program? Maybe you should go to Stalkers Anonymous since you are stalking bar patrons. So-called alcoholism isn’t even a disease, it’s a sick behavior, like stalking bar patrons. MADD doesn’t even have statistics showing they have cut down on DUIs. You are a menace to society and your stalking is illegal.

Get a life!!

’S THIS WEEK! S R E W ANS

Minimum Wage If you want 15 dollars an hour, go to school and get an education. My wife has a masters degree and can’t get a job paying more than $11 an hour as a professional. You will put these businesses out of business, then you won’t even have a job.

The businesses will have to raise prices of their food and then nobody will go there and they will be out business.

Big Rig Drivers Ever notice how larger vehicles happen to have a large amount of room in front of the vehicle on the roadway. This is not because they want to allow all people to cut them off, it is because they need that room in order to break and stop the vehicle. People need to stop cutting off commercial size vehicles. If I’m driving a vehicle that weighs 250,000 pounds, I need at least four seconds ahead of me for stopping distance. Know if you decide to cut me off and slam on your brakes I’m more than likely will not stop in time. It’s not a matter of breaking power, driver error, or driver experience. It is a matter of physics. Ever hear of inertia? So the next time you decide to cut off a large vehicle keep in mind if you break and they don’t have a decent amount of room to stop you’re putting your life in danger.

Now for a lot of the big rig drivers out there, you should know not to get a tailgate. I have watched and been tailgated by multiple big rigs, shame on you you guys know better and you guys of been driving like shit. Be safe out there, drive safe.

Yard Sale Mentality Why do people come to a yard sale, pick out an item that cost 1/25 of its original cost and then try to negotiate it down? Or how about the ones who come and shoplift? Really? At a freaking yard sale? I’m trying to figure out the mental angle here. A gently used pair of $60, asking $3 for it. And the offers range from $1.50 to $2.50.

Is our economy that bad? Or do you get some sense of satisfaction getting a bargain? Is it somehow empowering to negotiate a price down? The more human contact we have the less we like people.

Cat Thief Jeers to the a-hole who broke our window and stole our cat.

We were gone for a night because we wanted to go to the fair the next morning. We had an awesome time at the Fair until we got home and saw our window broken and our cat stolen. Scraps was called and verified that she had plenty of food, water and ventilation and love so we know she was catnapped. She was an awesome cat, loved the boat, riding in the truck, bellyrubs and life in general. She had a good home and well loved. We miss her dearly.

You see, I have a mental illness and she was my therapy cat and our baby. If you are reading this, we begrudgingly forgive you, but know this, you broke the hearts of decent pople and only wish you give the love we did.

The Ancient One

Kennewick Man’s story — and controversy — isn’t over

BY DEANNA PAN

J

ackie Cook’s job is to rebury the dead. When the ancient remains of her tribe’s ancestors are uncovered in the Columbia Plateau, she’s called upon to return what’s left of their bodies to the earth. Although they may have died thousands of years ago, their reburial ceremonies are always bittersweet.

“On any reburial day, I’m happy,” she says. “I smile a lot.”

In her 11-year career as a repatriation specialist for the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation in Nespelem, there’s one ancestor she’s still waiting to bury: Kennewick Man. Inadvertently discovered 18 years ago along the banks of the Columbia River by a pair of college students, the controversial skeleton ignited a nine-year legal battle between scientists and a coalition of Northwest tribes, including the Colville. The tribes unsuccessfully fought for the right to rebury him under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act after the court ruled they had failed to prove that Kennewick Man was related to any of the modern-day tribes.

The controversy is ongoing. A new book published earlier this month, the highly anticipated, 680-page Kennewick Man: The Scientific Investigation of an Ancient American Skeleton, argues that the Ancient One wasn’t from the Columbia River Valley as the tribes assert. The textbook-

94 INLANDER SEPTEMBER 18, 2014

sized volume, which features contributions from more than five dozen authors, researchers, photographers and editors, is the most comprehensive account of Kennewick Man’s remains to date.

In the tome, the editors theorize that Kennewick Man hailed from the northwest coast of North America — possibly from present-day Alaska or the Aleutian Islands — or even as far away as Asia. A relative of modern-day Polynesians, he was 5-foot-7, roughly 160 pounds and right-handed, with several broken ribs, two small fractures in his skull, a spear point stuck in his hip, and a bad shoulder from a lifetime of slinging spears into the water to hunt for seals. He died more than 9,000 years ago, around age 40. He was buried with dignity and care in a two-and-half-foot-deep grave.

What he wasn’t, they say, was Native American.

Years later after the court battle ended, Cook, 60, disagrees. She works in the repository of the tribe’s history and archeology program, a small 1970s-era building that used to be an old smoke shop. Inside, hundreds of thousands of artifacts — arrowheads, stone tools and “debitage,” the flakes left over from paleolithic tool-making — are carefully catalogued in sealable plastic bags and stowed in rows upon rows of bins on space-saving movable shelves. Although their histories have been passed down through oral traditions, she says their wealth of

knowledge about the past is equally as valid as that of the scientists. “The Ancient One,” as he’s often referred to by the tribes, is one of them.

“I want people to understand that the tribes know their history; they know their history well,” she says.

“This wasn’t an empty landscape for anybody. There were communities here. There were people here. … Having all that knowledge, you have to have help. You can’t do this by yourself.”

The tribes could still reopen their case over Kennewick Man, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which owns the skeleton, and depending on the evidence the outcome could change. Scientists in Copenhagen are currently conducting DNA testing on the remains, which may link Kennewick Man to modern-day Native Americans. Although his skeleton is still secured in a vault at the University of Washington’s Burke Museum, Cook hopes that one day, she’ll have the chance to return his remains to his grave.

“The way we believe is that once a body goes into the ground, that’s where it’s supposed to stay forever and ever,” Cook says. “We have a covenant with the ancestors to take care of them.

“I don’t think there’s any end of the story to any of this.” n deannap@inlander.com

Shaping Healthcare Education. Building a World-Class Medical School for Spokane.

Over 40 years ago, the University of Washington School of Medicine pioneered a communitybased approach to medical education. Today, it is ranked the #1 primary care medical school in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. They also rank it #1 in the nation for teaching rural medicine and family medicine. The school is #2 in the nation for NIH research funding, providing our students with greater access to critical information. And it’s ranked as the #3 medical school in the world according to the 2014 Academic Ranking of World Universities.

The University of Washington School of Medicine, with Washington State University as its partner, brought this world-class medical school to Pullman in the 1970s and then to Spokane in 2008. Together, we realized a goal of building a world-class health sciences hub to educate future generations of physicians and to fuel Spokane’s economic development.

Why? The region continues to grow, and with it the need for more physicians. But we cannot do it alone. We need the continued support of the Spokane community and our legislature in order to expand the University of Washington School of Medicine to meet this need. Thank you for continuing to support these efforts.

Our partnership is the future of medical education.
