L

ast June, I seconded the growing sentiment that John Moyer be nominated to have the plaza above Huntington Park named after him. I cited his medical career and his efforts to help kill the Lincoln Street Bridge project.

Moyer, who passed away in August, has since been formally nominated and is now a finalist.

The three finalists — King Cole, “The Gathering Place” and Dr. John Moyer — all are excellent choices. All three are deserving of recognition.

The question in my mind goes to “fit” and “timing.” I’m sticking with Dr. Moyer, if for no other reason than the plaza and park fit, the timing is perfect to recognize his exemplary life, and, as it turns out, there actually are more meaningful and appropriate ways to recognize both King Cole and our Native American heritage. Moreover, since June, our community priorities have refocused, making Moyer an even better fit.

About King Cole: He deserves more than a plaza. My suggestion: Let’s rename the park after the “Father of Expo” and call it “King Cole Riverfront Park.” There is precedent; Portland named its park along the Willamette River the “Tom McCall Waterfront Park” after Oregon’s late governor and environmentalist.

Native American recognition? Yes, the tribes fished the river, but they “gathered” at what today is Indian Canyon Golf Course. The city has never addressed this important history. My question: Might there be a way to capture our Native American legacy through restoration of “The Canyon,” a community treasure? Turns out there is, and at the most propitious time, for both the tribes and the course. The course is in bad shape, having been neglected by the Park Board and Park Department for more than a decade. Longtime head professional Gary Lindeblad has advocated for a publicprivate partnership involving local tribes. Such efforts would focus more specifically on tribal history, while the course and its expanded facilities could become a draw once again. Everyone wins.

A

bout John Moyer, whose contribution to the bridge fight was of singular importance: The truth is, had the Lincoln Street Bridge been constructed we wouldn’t be having this discussion. There would be no plaza to name, because there would be no plaza. Indeed, there would likely be no Huntington Park. Why a plaza, if instead of looking down on the gorge vista, all you saw were cars rumbling over the widest bridge in the city? And who would care about hiking down to a park, only to stare up at the underside of a bridge that would also have ruined the view corridor from the park back up to the magnificent, Kirtland Cutter-designed Washington Water Power plant?

When Moyer joined the opposition, the situation was dire. The federal money was in the

bank, and the cranes were on the river. The downtown leadership, the traffic engineers, the mayor and most on the City Council — they all wanted the bridge. And you weren’t supposed to have the temerity to not “go along, to get along.” Not the Spokane way. The critics were castigated in the press and maligned by some members of the City Council. One was told that if he didn’t back off, he might be fired. Still, Moyer and his friends persevered.

A

nd Moyer would be the last to claim most credit for killing the bridge. Others were crucial, too, like Rick Hastings, who kept the Friends of the Falls alive and active. There was John Covert, a geologist, proved that the city’s traffic and pollution analysis was all wrong.

The Siddoways, Doug and Laurel, provided the critical legal work. And then there was nationally known traffic engineer Walter Kulash, who came to town and, in the words LETTERS of Ron Wells, Send comments to “changed the editor@inlander.com. debate.” Kulash showed how the project worked against the best urban principles, made little economic sense, contradicted the Downtown Plan and would result in a Division/ Ruby-like couplet — terrible for businesses downtown, worse for neighborhoods to the north.

Throughout the fight, however, it was Moyer who most dramatically drew the issues together — that we would save the gorge and Native American heritage by killing the bridge. When Moyer spoke about this, about the tribes fishing for 80-pound salmon, he left people in tears.

About those priorities: Since last summer, Spokane leaders have put the training of family doctors at the top of our list of important community and regional challenges. Here we have an opportunity to memorialize Spokane’s very own “doctor’s doctor.” Has there ever been a physician in Spokane who delivered more babies, while working run-outs to so many rural Washington communities? Moyer symbolized what “doctoring” was all about, and what we want it to be about again.

So let’s name the plaza at the entrance to Huntington Park after John Moyer, and by extension, honor his life’s work, both professionally and as our civic conscience. Then we can turn our attention to commemorating the other two worthy finalists, too. n

COMMENT | PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Comparing Notes

BY TED S. McGREGOR JR.

A

couple of weeks back I made a trip down to Colorado Springs, where leaders from free urban weeklies from around the country gathered to share ideas and commiserate about the state of our business.

I’ve gone to a lot of these events, and I always think back to when I was just trying to soak it all in and get some advice from the papers that were doing it right — Willamette Week in Portland, the San Francisco Bay Guardian. So it felt a little different to be chosen to present to the group on how we do things here in Spokane.

Earlier in the day, we heard from Andrew Beaujon, who covers the newspaper industry for the Poynter Institute. He has a background in urban weeklies, so he knows our business. But he’s also basically been documenting the fall of an industry, as daily newspapers have been shrinking. And we’re not immune, as the recent closing of the once-mighty Bay Guardian loomed over our meetings. Beaujon said one daily publisher, frustrated by a lack of progress over everything they have tried to stop the bleeding, told him, “There are no silver bullets, only shrapnel.”

I told our group that, yes, there is shrapnel — all media has been kind of blown up over the past decade. Radio, print and TV all have their challenges.

But here at the Inlander, we believe in the power of words — mostly words on a printed page, but also beamed through cyberspace. I shared some of the many products we’ve added over the tumultuous past decade — InHealth, the No. 1 magazine in our market among women; Annual Manual, our compendium of all things Inlander; Inlander.com, our sleek, robust website; our Shop Local and Menu guides; and of course the events we have helped bring to our community, from Inlander Restaurant Week to the Volume music festival to the Snowlander Expo and PowderKeg Festival this weekend.

Maybe the shrapnel can add up to a silver bullet.

Whatever the reasons, papers like ours in medium-sized markets (Colorado Springs; Santa Barbara, California; Charleston, South Carolina; Spokane) are thriving. Independent research tells us the Inlander newspaper has become the No. 1 media source — print, radio or TV — in the Inland Northwest.

How, the group asked me, did we do that?

“Be yourself,” I said — innovation is a must, but do what you’re good at and stay true to your mission. In our case, that’s connecting our readers to local businesses in a variety of ways, creating a great place for our team to work and digging up stories that help everyone connect better with this place we call home. n JEN SORENSON CARTOON

On Trust

I thought I knew what the word meant. Two weeks ago, I realized I’d had no clue

BY LUKE BAUMGARTEN

I

was married recently. It feels a little weird saying that. The ceremony took place just 15 days after Terrain, the art event my wife (that also sounds weird), our friends and I put on. Terrain is a massive undertaking. Weddings are too.

The details of why we stacked two huge events on top of each other aren’t really pertinent here, but let’s just say getting married in October was very important to us, so that’s what we did.

We realized early that we couldn’t get everything done, so we began delegating. Not just the little stuff. We delegated almost the entire ceremony. We had a rough sketch of the outline of kind what we wanted, and we sort of told our officiant what we were looking for.

We left all the fine details to her.

I should say that we are not laid-back people when it comes to stuff like this. We’re control freaks. On top of that, we both had strong visions for what the wedding should be, and in matters of vision, we are both perfectionists.

And yet, up until the second our officiant opened

her mouth, neither of us had any idea what was going to come out for the next half-hour.

The only time I felt nervous the whole day was when we were called to walk down the aisle. It wasn’t the lifelong commitment. For the first time in my adult life, I had completely given over a task of extreme importance to another person. No check-ins. No run-downs.

My almost-wife — with a sort of wild, what-the-hellhave-we-done look in her eye — said she was nervous too.

We had just trusted three people to be funny, tender and familiar, and to speak with conviction about, you know, me. And her. About, like, us. The most intensely personal relationship of either of our lives.

And here’s the thing: I’ve used the word “trust” before, but I never really understood it — real, complete trust — until those three people stood up and delivered more touching readings than I could have honLETTERS estly ever imagined.

Send comments to I’ve never felt editor@inlander.com. such a warmth in my — I don’t even know — heart, I guess. These people had taken the time to reflect on us and deliver beautiful, funny, profound words that also occasionally skirted the line between decorum and bad taste (just how we both like it).

I know my wife felt the same way because, in the middle, she met my gaze and, with her incredulous little side smirk, whispered, “This is f---ing awesome.”

It really was.

I haven’t been able to adequately describe that feeling, but here’s the closest I’ve gotten: It’s like the gratitude that comes after putting yourself entirely at another person’s mercy and realizing that they have recognized this incredible vulnerability, and met it with an equal amount of care.

I’ve realized too that, because of my own need to be in control, I’ve been preventing myself from knowing that intense gratitude pretty much my whole life.

Like many big changes, getting married forces reflection. The past two weeks I’ve been staring out over the horizon of my possible futures at the stars I’ve been guided by — diligence, craft, ambition, community — and I see two that I hadn’t noticed before. Faint and twinkling twin stars of trust and gratitude.

It seems awfully fortunate to have found them when I did, embarking as I am on the biggest journey of my (our) live(s). n Luke Baumgarten is the interim co-executive director of Spokane Arts, a cofounder of Terrain, the founder of Fellow Coworking and former culture editor of the Inlander.

COMMENT | FROM READERS

Reaction to a blog (10/30/2014) on three possible names for the new City Hall plaza above Huntington Park. The name may recognize local tribes, King Cole or Dr. John Moyer.

TRICIA MOSS-LINEBACK: Just name it Spokane Falls Park because Spokane’s original name was Spokane Falls. Makes sense, it’s next to the falls.

Reaction to last week’s cover story, “Prisoners of War,” (10/30/14) about Eastern Washington medical marijuana growers running into trouble with the feds.

MARIA TOWN: If any other easyto-grow herb actually was proven to cure any disease or significantly ease pain, it would be illegal too.

Oil of oregano is thought to be an antibiotic; if this is ever proven, or even believed by enough people, you better believe it would be illegal too. Big Pharma and their pet politicians are not going to allow anything that helps people get better or control pain to be available without them getting their cut.

Think about how much money they lose if we have alternatives that work. It is in their best interest that the common people be sick and in pain and that they have control of anything that might make us feel better. Of course they don’t want you growing an herb that you can use to help yourself. Where is the profit in that?

RICK EICHSTAEDT: Lack of ADA Accessibility Plaza!

MARITA VANSMOORENBURG FLETT: Please do not name this sacred spot after anyone who took this land from the original inhabitants! The Spokane Tribe ceded 3.14 million acres… in 1887. If anyone thinks that they did so without force, not necessarily physical force, they need to read the history of this area.

Instead please name it after Illim Spokanee, Father of Spokane Garry, who surely saw heartbreak for his people coming. 

Diversity Deficit

Of the city’s highest paid employees, only a handful are women.

Even fewer are minorities. What does it take to fix that?

BY HEIDI GROOVER

S

pokane City Attorney Nancy Isserlis looked around during a meeting with the police chief earlier this year and found herself in awe that the lawyers at the table were “three powerful women.” It may be 2014, but the scene was a departure for the legal department — Isserlis says she’s Spokane’s first-ever woman city attorney — and it’s the sort of thing some people want to see more of at City Hall.

“I’ve always thought that the best decisions are those made when a wide variety of viewpoints are represented in the room,” Isserlis says. “Diversity just makes a place a better place to work.”

But in those terms, the city has a long way to go.

Among the 25 city employees with the highest salaries, just five are women. (Isserlis is at the top of that group.) Include overtime to account for the pay employees actually took home last year and it’s even worse: one woman in the top 25. Of the top 100 salaries — all over $100,000 — 16 are earned by women; among the highest paid, that drops to 10 women and just four employees who are non-white.

Start comparing these numbers and the results are mixed. In Seattle last year, there were no women among the 25 highest paid and just two among those with the highest base salaries. But at the federal government level, women make up 44 percent of employees and 30 percent of senior positions, and in the population at large, about half are women. So the lack of representation in Spokane leadership is clear, but we’re not the first ones to stumble here.

Yet, to really understand — and hope to ever fix — the underrepresentation of women inside City Hall, leaders are going to need numbers. Today, there is no comprehensive report they can turn to in order to gauge just how much work the city needs to do, and where. In Seattle, after a national study ranked the city as having the worst pay gap in the nation, the issue helped define the 2013 mayoral race, the city created its own report and task force, and the city council passed a resolution calling on city departments to figure out what was causing the disparity and fix it.

Here, while our numbers may appear better than Se-

attle’s, there’s too much we don’t know. At least that’s the way Blaine Stum sees it. He’s a member of the city’s Human Rights Commission and the legislative aide to City Councilman Jon Snyder, and he’s recently been trying to cobble together a look at this problem.

He’s found that less than a quarter of city employees are women and they’re most often in secretarial and clerical jobs, a trend that mirrors citywide employment for women. Stum found pay gaps — disparities in what women and men were paid per year on average — ranging from $1,000 in the accounting department to as high as $16,500 in the police department, likely due to the types of jobs women hold. Still, his estimates are imperfect and he doesn’t have racial data to consider.

sk around City Hall about this and an underlying tension emerges: Is civil service to blame for a lack of diversity?

Civil service, remember, is the testing process nearly all applicants for city jobs must go through. Approved by Spokane voters a century ago, it’s meant to prevent cronyism. City leaders can’t just hand jobs to their friends and family members this way.

The testing system doesn’t apply to department heads or assistant department heads (these are “exempt” positions), which the mayor appoints. Since taking office in 2012, Mayor David Condon has expanded the number of exempt slots in City Hall by reorganizing departments, drawing a court battle and heat from some who say it’s undermining the citizens’ will.

To Condon and some in his cabinet, civil service is more like a straitjacket. Of course, they acknowledge, the system is valuable for fair hiring, but it limits their ability to target certain people who’d be best for leadership positions or certain groups they know are underrepresented at the city.

“If they give me the list of three people and they’re all men, OK,” says Jan Quintrall, head of the city’s business and developer services division, tapping her fingers on a conference room table.

“I have to have real clear reasons to want to bypass them and it can’t be, ‘I’m sorry. I can’t hire a man. I need to hire another woman.’”

Quintrall says she’d like to see a higher percentage of city employees hired outside civil service. Maybe 10 or 20 percent instead of the current number, which amounts to about 6 percent.

“Having a little bit of flexibility there might bring us a different outcome,” she says. “It’s probably time to have the conversation.”

Not so fast, says Gita George-Hatcher, chief examiner of the

Gita George-Hatcher used to lead affirmative action programs for the city and is now head of civil service. She hopes to recruit more women and minorities to city jobs. YOUNG KWAK PHOTO city’s civil service TOP 10 SAL AR IES , 2014 commission.

George-Hatcher was head of the city’s affirmative action program until the late ’90s, when a national movement against so-called “reverse discrimination” and a statewide initiative swept those policies out of most local governments. Since, she says, the department has been trying to increase diversity without the force of a mandate. George-Hatcher says she wants to see more frequent testing and more different types of testing for jobs at the city to help people who may have busy schedules or struggle on written tests. She’s also planning to go out to neighborhood councils and groups like the local NAACP to get more people thinking about the possibility of working for the city.

Among the highest paid employees last year, a big chunk of them work for the fire department and nearly all of them are white men. Assistant Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer says his department wants to remake its physical agility test over the next year to make it more fair to women.

“There’s this urban lore that women can’t pass the test.

They’ve been told, ‘You don’t have the upper body strength.

Nobody ever passes,’” Schaeffer says. By revamping that test and working with George-Hatcher on recruitment, Schaeffer says the department hopes to see more women and minorities apply for jobs so they can work their way up to the high-paying spots: “It’s all a ladder, so you really need to plant now to realize the forest 20 years down the road.” n heidig@inlander.com

How much should Spokane’s mayor make? More than the governor? Less? Should it be tied to average wages in the city, and who should decide?

You’ve got two more chances to weigh in with your thoughts. City Councilman Mike Fagan is hosting public forums to discuss the mayor’s pay Thursday from 6-8 pm at the East Community Center (500 S.

THE OTHER MED SCHOOL STUDY

A new report on a Spokane medical school; plus, SPD’s body cameras NEW BID, SAME RESULTS

The city of Spokane went looking for private companies who wanted to provide ambulance service in the city and found only one: American Medical Response.

If you feel like you’ve read this news before, it’s because you have. This summer, the city put out a call for ambulance bids, and AMR, which currently operates in Spokane, was the only bidder. After city council concerns that the bid request language unfairly favored AMR, the administration went back to bid. This week, they opened the results and found, again, only AMR’s response.

Rival company Falck, which raised concerns about the first process, didn’t bid. CEO Michael Collins says that’s because he didn’t receive two “key pieces of information” he requested from the city: a breakdown of how many people transported in ambulances are covered by Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance and how many are uninsured, and the average times ambulances are in use during calls. (Collins says the payer breakdown data belongs to AMR.) So, he says, his company couldn’t come up with a realistic estimate of operating costs.

“We’re not in the business of guessing,” he says.

The city administration, including the fire department, will now analyze AMR’s new bid and start contract negotiations. The city council is expected to vote on a new contract by the first of the year.

INFORMED CONSENT

After two months of somewhat selective recording, Spokane police officers will move forward with testing body cameras under an expanded order to VIDEORECORD ALMOST ALL CALLS. Police officials launched the new protocols Saturday, citing concerns about how much discretion officers had over recording.

SPD Chief Frank Straub reversed a previous policy that required the 17 SPD officers testing the cameras to shut off recordings when asked to do so within a private residence. Those officers will now announce the presence of a camera, but will not seek consent to record.

Police accountability advocates have called for more consistent recording and increased clarity regarding when officers must turn on cameras to avoid the censoring of some encounters. Officers will still have discretion during “sensitive” interactions such as death notifications.

The legal nonprofit Center for Justice issued a letter Monday asking the department to strengthen the language in its policy to demand that officers “shall” record instead of “should” record most encounters. The Center also sought clarification on officer discipline for failing to record and “unauthorized” uses of the cameras.

The department’s pilot program is set to run through Dec. 31, with plans to expand the use of cameras to additional officers in January.

A little over a month after Washington State University’s study proclaiming the promise of an independent fouryear MEDICAL SCHOOL in Spokane, the University of Washington has countered with its own study that’s been in the works since the spring.

And this study comes from Tripp Umbach, the same firm once championed in 2010 by WSU for its study regarding the massive economic impact that expanded medical educaLETTERS tion would have on Send comments to Spokane. The study, editor@inlander.com. released last Friday, clearly recommends expanding UW’s current crop of medical students in Spokane, instead of allowing WSU to create an entirely new school.

It gets worse for WSU: The hope from the community that both programs could expand? Not an option, the report concludes: “Eastern Washington cannot currently support two medical schools due to limited clinical training sites and limited residency training sites.”

The study praises UW’s success in keeping students in the state, doesn’t see the five-state region only having one medical school as a problem, and argues that UW is better poised to create new residency slots, despite its failure to create new residencies recently in Eastern Washington.

As part of an agreement, both schools have agreed not to officially oppose the other’s proposal with state lawmakers, but that has hardly stopped the intense campaigning for their own proposals.

18 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014

very morning, Monday through Friday, 33-year-old Jesus Martinez makes a pot of Folgers Classic Roast for the regulars at the Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in downtown Spokane.

“When that pot’s done, honey, pour me a togo,” a gray-haired lady at the bar says. She lights a cigarette, trembling between her fingers, before she teeters outside.

The tip jar rattles.

Martinez is stocky and soft-spoken with wavy black hair falling past his shoulders and a rosary dangling around his neck. He likes it here behind the counter at the Alano Club, a clean and sober nonprofit where he’s been volunteering since September. This place is the closest he’s felt to home in a long time.

In 2001, Martinez pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI) for a violent, druginduced crime. He’s now entering his 14th year of an indefinite commitment at Eastern State Hospital. For now, he has the court’s permission to leave the grounds for short periods — including to serve coffee at the Alano Club — but he doesn’t know if he’ll ever leave the hospital for good.

Martinez is one of as many as seven new plaintiffs in a civil rights lawsuit pitting NGRI patients against the state of Washington. The suit alleges that current restrictions on NGRI patients at Eastern and Western State hospitals violate their constitutional and civil rights to adequate mental health treatment and release.

He joined the suit after one of the plaintiffs was permanently discharged from Eastern because his commitment was found unconstitutional. The case is scheduled to go to trial next October.

All of the additional plaintiffs in the suit are either no longer mentally ill or dangerous, says Emily Cooper, an attorney at Disability Rights

Washington, an advocacy group and co-counsel for the plaintiffs. “This isn’t lawyers making these judgment calls; these are their own doctors saying this,” she adds. “It defies logic that even one person who doesn’t have mental illness

should be confined at a mental health hospital. … We’re not talking about one. We’re talking about several.”

Martinez’s current diagnoses: major depression, with a history of psychotic features and polysubstance abuse. Both, his doctors say, are in full remission. Martinez hasn’t taken psychiatric medication in about eight years. He’s currently petitioning the court, for the second time, for his final release from the hospital.

“I feel blessed overall, but I’m still stuck,” he says. “I don’t feel there’s much treatment left for me at the hospital.”

J

ust before 11 am, Martinez makes his first surveillance phone call to Eastern State. He makes sure to call on time. Once, he called 10 minutes too late; the hospital almost alerted the police.

“Hey, Kathy,” he murmurs. “It’s Jesus calling in.”

When — or if — Martinez leaves the hospital, his dream is to open a food truck. He’ll start his business in his hometown of Moses Lake before expanding across the state. He’ll paint it blue — his favorite color. Perhaps he’ll even liven up the

exterior with a mural like the one he did in the geriatric unit at the hospital — a panoramic landscape brimming with purple mountains, lush forests and clear lakes. He’s heard that the patients there find it calming.

He’ll serve a rotating menu inspired by his favorite Asian and Mexican dishes, like pan-fried rice, noodles and teriyaki chicken, plus his mother’s posole. And he’ll make pastries. Croissants, danishes and donuts.

“My family’s nickname for me is gordo — fat,” he says with a faint smile.

He doesn’t know what he’ll call his food truck. He hasn’t put too much thought into that. What about Gordo’s?

“Yeah,” he says. “That would be good.”

IT’S GOING TO BE

TH FRIDAY, NOV 14 • 4 - 8 PM

M

artinez grew up a block away from two churches on a mostly quiet street in a Catholic family. He and his siblings were raised by his mother, a loving and hard-working woman who picked apples and packed produce.

But his childhood was plagued by violence. He got in fights at school and parties. Eventually, he was kicked out of Moses Lake High School at age 14. By then, he was experimenting heavily with hard drugs and alcohol. Meth, cocaine, crack, heroin, acid, speed, ’shrooms, cigarettes laced with embalming fluid — “the list goes on and on,” he says. He was high almost all the time, working multiple jobs under the table and rarely sleeping. It wasn’t long before the hallucinations started. First, he heard laughter. Then he heard commands.

On April 22, 2000, Martinez, then 18, hopped into a car with two girls he’d just met at his mother’s yard sale. He was already high on pot and cocaine when they offered him a hit of chalky blue meth from a plastic baggie. The next thing he remembers is waking up, bleary-eyed and foggy, in a Grant County jail cell.

According to court records, Martinez entered the home of 84-year-old Melvin Johnson that day. He stabbed the man 12 to 15 times with a knife and a screwdriver; stole his cash; and drove off in his 1983 Chrysler New Yorker. After the attack, Johnson’s health deteriorated, and he died two years later.

Martinez’s public defender read him the charges: assault, burglary and robbery in the first degree. For the next year and half, Martinez was shuttled between jail and Eastern State Hospital, detoxing from years of heavy drug use.

At the time of the commission of Martinez’s crime, a doctor determined he was suffering from cannabis dependence, methamphetamine abuse and schizoaffective disorder. On Aug. 16, 2001, Martinez was acquitted of all charges by reason of insanity and committed to Eastern State Hospital.

In the prison system, Martinez, a first-time offender, would have faced a nine-year maximum sentence. He would have been eligible for parole after 14 months. Instead, he’s entering his 14th year at Eastern.

Martinez remembers the first time he asked the judge for a final discharge in April 2010. His family was on one side of the courtroom; Johnson’s family was on the other. His attorney told him not to look in their direction. Before the hearing, Johnson’s son did an interview with a TV reporter. “It’s scary to think this guy might be running around this town or your town,” he said.

Martinez says he would feel the same way.

“I can’t take it back. I can’t say ‘sorry’ to that person. I can’t change how they feel,” Martinez says. “But that’s not who I am.

That’s an incident that happened in my life, and not who I am or who I want to be.”

artinez learned to cook from his mother, who learned to cook by taste and smell alone. She can’t read, so she has never used recipes. But she made the best tamales and the best mole Martinez has ever had. As a boy, Martinez would sit in the kitchen with her and watch her at the stove.

“Seeing the smile on her face,” he says — that’s his favorite memory. By age 5, Martinez was making breakfast for his baby sister while his mother was at work: Jimmy Dean sausages, scrambled eggs, French toast and coffee. He was always making coffee.

He’s going to his mother’s house on Thanksgiving Day — his first time home in 14 years. This year, he’ll make the turkey and the trimmings. 

NEWS | POLITICS But he didn’t try to hide it. In fact, he sent a cassette tape recording of the sermon to the IRS, “saying we broke the law, there’s the tape,” he says.

It’s part of an annual nationwide effort called “Pulpit Freedom Sunday.” The socially conservative organization Alliance Defending Freedom wants to sue to get the restriction on churches changed. But first it needs a church to be punished for endorsements. Despite 1,600 churches participating in endorsing candidates this year, and a 2012 Freedom From Religion Foundation lawsuit over IRS inaction, the IRS hasn’t appeared to have prosecuted churches.

Gaylor says the IRS has insisted they are enforcing the law, but she says there’s a simple solution for politically inclined churches.

“If a church wants to endorse to the public, it shouldn’t have that 501(c)(3),” she says. And that’s exactly what some local churches are doing.

‘FREE CHURCH’

For the past six years, David Stapp, pastor of First Baptist Church, has endorsed candidates from the pulpit. ASHLEY TOMLINSON PHOTO

God’s Endorsements Some local churches are forgoing — or risking — their tax-exempt status to preach politics from the pulpit

BY DANIEL WALTERS

A

few weeks before Election Day in the tiny north Spokane County town of Deer Park, David Stapp stands before his congregation at First Baptist Church and, in his soft Texas drawl, intentionally breaks the law.

“In the first 300 years of this country, it was customary all across the land for the pulpits of America to preach what was called an ‘election sermon,’” he begins.

“I’m going to preach about some things I’ve never really preached about before.”

As sermons go, it isn’t fiery or angry. But the embrace of politics is unabashed: Stapp dives into Bible verses he interprets as opposing gun control. He flashes up red PowerPoint slides with quotes about abortion and gun control from the Democratic and Republican Party platforms, and includes a parishioner’s assessments of the two gun initiatives: “Jay says vote no!” on the background check initiative slide; “Jay says vote yes!” on the pro-gun-initiative one.

Across faiths and denominations, churches debate their role in politics. But those who choose to mix the two have another dilemma: Do they follow the rules?

Legally, pastors can give sermons discussing politically charged issues. But when it comes to endorsing or opposing specific candidates, churches risk losing their

20 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014

501(c)(3) nonprofit tax-exempt status. It’s been that way ever since Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson amended the U.S. tax code in 1954. But Stapp and some other local pastors have defied or dodged these restrictions.

“The country was built on the concept of taking the word of God and applying it to public policy,” Stapp says.

“Let’s talk about a couple candidates.”

That’s when he endorses incumbent Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers over rival Joe Pakootas.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation calls such actions not only illegal, but unethical.

“Rogue pastors who endorse from tax-exempt pulpits are playing dirty pool,” foundation founder Annie Laurie Gaylor says in a release. “Such an abuse creates an unfair election advantage. Donations to politicians are not taxdeductible, but donations to churches are.”

Nevertheless, for the past six years, Stapp has preached at least one sermon like this. Last year, he preached on property rights. His church has endorsed Rick Perry and Rick Santorum in primaries. He endorsed Rep. Matt Shea three elections in a row.

The first time he delivered such a sermon, in 2008, he endorsed John McCain. At first it felt uncomfortable.

“I felt like I was trying to swim in peanut butter and honey,” Stapp says.

At the God and Country Celebration in June, “patriot pastor” Shahram Hadian preaches about the Book of Esther with salvos of ideological intensity.

LETTERS “We have now seen Send comments to an infiltration of our editor@inlander.com. nation, our government, our schools, by socialists, communists, secular humanists,” Hadian says.

“And now Islamists.”

This Sunday, at the La Belle Vie Event Center, Hadian plans to officially launch a Spokane branch of the Truth In Love Christian Fellowship.

It will be a different kind of church, all the way down to its tax code status. Hadian calls it a “free church,” meaning it isn’t organized as a nonprofit.

He says it’s not really about the freedom to endorse candidates as much as a philosophical objection to the tax code restrictions. “Does the government have the jurisdiction to license the church?” Hadian asks. “I would argue no.”

A former Muslim from Iran, Hadian preaches unabashedly about gay marriage, border security, tax policy, Sharia law and, frequently, when to defy the government.

One message, over three weeks, focused on a spiritual “civil war between Christians.”

He believes the reluctance of the IRS to prosecute churches won’t last. Hadian points to the scandal regarding whether the IRS targeted conservative groups, the city of Houston’s temporary threat to subpoena sermon notes for a lawsuit, and the furor in Coeur d’Alene over whether the Hitching Post would be able to refuse to perform same-sex weddings.

“The bottom line is I believe they’re coming after the church,” Hadian says. “It’s just a matter of when.”

He sees his Spokane Valley location as a hub for a network of similar traditional and house churches. And he’s not the only one trying to spread the free-church model. In May, Chuck Baldwin of the Liberty Fellowship Church in Flathead County, Montana, launched an initiative to help establish a crowd of new “free churches.” (“I remind you that donations to Liberty Church Project are NOT tax-deductible,” Baldwin writes on his website.)

“Try to deny it all you want, but when a church submits to the authority of the IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, it has surrendered the authority of Christ and replaced it with the authority of civil government,” Baldwin wrote in August.

GOD, GAYS AND GUNS

Other pastors, however, are made uncomfortable by preachers’ political pronouncements.

“I think churches could help by breaking down the walls and deconstructing the polarizing language,” says Andy CastroLang, pastor of Westminster Congregational UCC. “We don’t have to all be on the same page. But we sure as hell should stop demonizing.”

Yet her church is clearly politically active. The sign outside her church urges parishioners to support the background check initiative. She uses some of the same language to support gun background checks as Stapp does opposing abortion. “For us, it’s a matter of protecting human life,” she says.

Her church fought as hard to retain gay marriage as other churches did to repeal it. But there are lines she tries not to cross.

CastroLang says she’s had to gently correct parishioners who say things like “all those people who think President Obama should not be elected, I hope God will change their minds” in their prayers.

Jim CastroLang, her husband, faces an even tougher balance: He’s simultaneously the pastor of a Colville church and the chair of the Spokane County Democrats. As a pastor, he can’t directly advocate for candidates. As the Democratic chair, that’s essentially his entire job.

“You have to understand who you are and what role you’re in,” he says. He sees it as a professional boundary, similar to those therapists and attorneys have.

“It’s a little cozy in my opinion,” Gaylor says. “But if he’s being scrupulous from the pulpit, then I think he’s technically following the law.”

Though Stapp fervently disagrees with the CastroLangs’ positions, he says they shouldn’t have to worry about expressing them.

“Unless I fight for their freedom, I lose mine,” Stapp says. “I don’t think the government should tell either one of us what we oughta be preaching.”  danielw@inlander.com

Blase Cupich was fast-tracked by Pope Francis to head up the Chicago diocese. YOUNG KWAK PHOTO

After leading the Spokane diocese for four years, Bishop Blase Cupich prepares to lead 2.2 million Catholics in Chicago

BY SCOTT A. LEADINGHAM

I

t’s a chilly, late-October night, and Blase Cupich is clearly interested in one thing: a hearty meal.

“I’ll take the chili,” he says.

That, and engaging in good conversation with a crowd of eager 20- and 30-something Catholics.

With that dinner order, he sounds like any other person at Jack and Dan’s bar and grill. And even though it’s a Gonzaga University mainstay, where priests can often be found downing a pint, the man dressed in the unmistakable white collar is far from a regular patron.

He is, after all, among the most famous Catholic leaders in America at the moment, and the most in-demand for news media interviews. Little more than a month ago, most people, rank-and-file Catholics included, didn’t know his name, let alone how to pronounce it. (For the record: SOO-pitch.)

On this night, he’s bishop of the Spokane diocese.

But in a few short weeks he’ll lead the third-largest Catholic diocese in the U.S. as archbishop of Chicago.

In some ways, Cupich’s appointment isn’t completely unforeseen, given that his personal narrative as a reformer and champion of untangling bureaucracy parallels that of Pope Francis. However, there were surprises in the announcement.

“It was a shock because of the swiftness of it,” says Rocco Palmo, a Catholic journalist whose Whispers in the Loggia blog has closely chronicled church news since 2004.

Palmo says Cupich was fast-tracked by Pope Francis, who went outside the normal, more drawn-out process and personally vetted Cupich in a way not seen for major

24 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014

archbishop appointments.

With his chili on the way, Cupich settles into a crowd of young adult Catholics meeting for their monthly pub night to hear from speakers on faith topics. This month they have the ear of the person who will soon lead 2.2 million Catholics and become a de facto spokesman for U.S. Catholics.

Given such a tall order, he comes off disarmingly humble, which explains his appeal to Pope Francis.

Cupich’s microphone squeaks, and he scoots LETTERS back to avoid the Send comments to speaker feedback. editor@inlander.com.

“Not since first grade have I been put in the corner,” he says, drawing laughter from the crowd.

Appointed in 2010 to lead the Spokane diocese out of a bankruptcy brought on by sexual abuse lawsuits, Cupich is generally seen as an administrator in the mold of Pope Francis: able to insist on change where it’s needed, and capable of coming into a negative situation and managing with skill and grace.

At the time, the Spokane diocese was close to selling off parishes to pay debts to victims, and Cupich considers the fact that no parishes were closed among his top accomplishments in Spokane. He says he didn’t even know about the diocese’s deep legal woes until after he arrived.

“The first two years here were very, very hard. Just to make sure that we would not be in a situation where parishes would collapse because they would be confiscated,” he says. “I was very concerned about that. I

knew it wasn’t just about the closing of buildings and the confiscation of property, it was about the real destruction of communities.”

IT’S NOT OVER

The figurative destruction of communities is one thing, but the very real harm brought about by sexual abuse is something of which he says he is very much aware. Late last month, it was reported that Cupich had removed a retired priest, Rev. Dan Wetzler, from the ministry after “credible allegations” surfaced. It was the second time Wetzler had been accused; he had previously been exonerated after a church investigation.

That move, and Cupich’s appointment in Chicago, was criticized by the victims’ rights group Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.

“He’s doing the absolute bare, legalistic minimum.

Pretty much because he has to,” SNAP Executive Director David Clohessy says of Cupich.

SNAP also released media statements when Cupich was appointed in Chicago, and previously in Spokane, criticizing his work on the sexual assault front.

“On this issue, this continuing crisis, he’s not the worst, but he’s far from the best,” Clohessy says, claiming that most of the work by church authorities, including Cupich, to address sexual abuse amounts to “public relations.”

For his part, Cupich recognizes the criticisms against not just abusive priests, but those bishops who covered up or dismissed their abuses, calling that the truly scandalous part of the church.

Cupich also notes that while he believes the victimization on a wide scale is over, and processes in place to protect youth will be effective, it’s important not to suggest it’s over for those who were victimized.

“We have to be careful not to say it’s over for the people who still have the sting of this abuse in their psyche,” Cupich says. “And we have to comfort them and walk with them in that healing.”

BACK TO HIS ROOTS

In going to Chicago, Cupich will follow the trail of his predecessor, outgoing Archbishop Cardinal Francis

George. Prior to Chicago, George was bishop of the Yakima diocese. Like Spokane, that diocese is relatively small and rural.

For Cupich, though, it’s a move that will bring him back to his Midwestern family roots. Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, he spent most of his early years as a priest in the Midwest before becoming bishop of the Rapid City, South Dakota, diocese in 1998.

It’s a move he’s happy to make.

“There is an ethos [in the Midwest] about rolling up your sleeves and getting work done. People are very individualistic [in the Northwest],” he says. “They want to be left alone. It’s part of the Northwest and the whole business of how people live.

It was tough for me to adjust to that. It doesn’t mean that one culture is better than the other. But there is a shift, and living in the Midwest brings me back to that kind of ethos that I grew up with.”

Once he arrives, formally taking over on Nov. 18, he’ll immediately face the kind of troubling financial and sexual abuse issues that greeted him in Spokane. Though the Spokane diocese’s bankruptcy didn’t result in closing any churches or schools, he’ll inherit financial restructuring in Chicago. On Oct. 29, Cardinal George announced the closing of 14 Chicago archdiocese schools.

It’s those skills as an administrator that got him appointed in Spokane and Chicago, according to Palmo, the Catholic journalist.

But he’ll be jumping into a role in which the archbishop isn’t just an administrator overseeing hundreds of parishes and schools and millions of Catholics. He’ll be a spokesman for the U.S. Catholic church, not to mention a civic leader in a city with a nearly 40 percent Catholic population.

And that, Palmo believes, will be the major adjustment for Cupich.

“If something goes wrong in Chicago, two people are out front,” he says. “The mayor and the archbishop.” 

Know the World The Spokane Fall Folk Festival is a crash course in cultural traditions

BY MIKE BOOKEY

he first Spokane Fall Folk Festival guaranteed two things: the event would feature food and electricity.

There would be music and dancing and a collection of other artistic elements, too, but they really wanted to get the word out over the airwaves about the ample power and food available at the Unitarian church hosting the event. It was it was mid-November of 1996, a month and year that longtime residents probably still shudder at, remembering that dreadful period simply as “Ice Storm.”

“They had power there, and we had food, and we thought that we’d be a big draw,” says current Fall Folk Festival director Sylvia Gobel. “They were surprised how many people turned out, though.”

People did brave their way through the icy streets, and not just for the food and warmth, it turned out. They came to see the collection of traditional music, dancing and art that Spokanites would be hard-pressed to find elsewhere throughout the year. A few years later, the festival outgrew its location a couple of times, eventually landing at Spokane Community College, which this year hosts more than 100 performers.

The acts range from the sort of “folk” music most casual music fans would associate with the word, but also traditional klezmer, African and Celtic dance troupes, youth choirs and more. That “folk” word means a lot more than you might think, it turns out.

And the SFFF is fine with keeping things broad.

“The true definition states that folk is something that’s been handed down from your grandfather or whatnot, that you’ve been passing down,” says Gobel.

“But if I was suddenly going to learn Cuban folk music, that would still be folk music, even though I’m not Cuban.”

Surprisingly, Gobel and the SFFF committee don’t have to explain the festival’s definition of folk very often to prospective performers.

In all the festival’s years, Gobel says she’s only had to ...continued on next page

“KNOW THE WORLD,” CONTINUED... turn down two or so acts because they didn’t fit the event’s mission.

“As long as it’s international or folk we take it. We have a few folk-rock acts, but we wouldn’t, for example, have a classical quartet or a straight jazz,” she says.

What comes out of those parameters is a one-stop-shopping opportunity for the community to see (and perhaps even learn to perform) music and dancing that have roots in cultures from around the world.

“The comment that I hear the most is, ‘I never knew there were so many musicians in Spokane.’ I think people are shocked that there’s all of these [cultural] communities in our backyard,” says Gobel.

Mary Ann Souza moved to Spokane in 1985 from the Big Island of Hawaii. She’s been hula dancing on the island since she was 5 years old — it’s as common for young girls as taking ballet lessons on the mainland, she says — and now owns Northwest Hula Company. The group teaches traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian dances to kids and adults, most of whom have a familial connection to the islands.

For Souza, the SFFF is a chance to remind Spokane that there is a Hawaiian community here, and that hula dancing isn’t just a novelty for hotel commercials and dashboard decora-

tions.

“People need to understand that it’s not just a fancy dance. This is a culture with a lot of history, and there’s that history in the dance,” says Souza. “It’s important to share that with people.

It’s a beautiful experience to keep alive.”

For Souza, part of the SFFF experience isn’t just performing, but learning about other cultures. She says it’s a chance for people in the city to educate each other: “It’s important for us to appreciate these cultures.”

Keeping with the inclusive spirit of the festival, SFFF has always been, and remains, a free event. That means the performers are not paid and the festival’s operation is powered completely by volunteers. The reason so many people put in the hours of rehearsals, scheduling, setting up of infrastructure and other efforts, says Gobel, all comes down to one word — education.

“They can sample everything for free. It’s all educational. Even if you come in and you’ve never heard bluegrass, you’re going to learn something about that,” she says.  Spokane Fall Folk Festival • Sat, Nov. 8, from 11 am-10 pm; Sun, Nov. 9, from 11 am-5 pm • Free • Spokane Community College • 1810 N.

FIRST FRIDAY CHRISTINA ROTHE

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

BY CHEY SCOTT

BOOK | In the preface of LOITERING, Charles D’Ambrosio’s newest collection of both new and previously published pieces (released Nov. 11), the awardwinning Portland writer reminisces about living across the street from a Seattle bookstore. He writes, “I had just figured out, rather naively, that I could buy my own books, and then almost instantly I became a prig about their condition … no breaking the spines, no dog-earing the pages, no greasy thumbprints.” Not 20 pages later, in the midst of D’Ambrosio’s title essay, I’m compelled to dog-ear two corners to note passages that epitomize the writer’s exacting style.

Throughout the collection, D’Ambrosio’s words conjure metaphorical “thought light bulbs” in the reader’s mind as he strikes feelings deep within — about TV news reporters, whale conservation and the magic of trains — all eloquently described in his rich, affecting prose.

From a distance, you might suspect the work of Spokane-based artist Christina Rothe to be paintings. But a closer look reveals that her interpretive pieces are made from pieces of thread painstakingly arranged on wood. Rothe spent her youth in Lagos, Nigeria, and was educated in Europe as well as the U.S., giving her work a global feel, as you can see in the above piece, “Blink of a City.” She relocated to the Inland Northwest about five years ago and has displayed her work around the region and beyond since.

THE SHOW GOES ON

We’ve been covering the changes going on in the local theater community after Interplayers Theatre, facing steep financial challenges, merged with Coeur d’Alene’s Lake City Playhouse.

Early this week, news came down that the newly created bi-state theater organization is now known as the MODERN THEATER. The physical theater facilities will be known as the Modern Theater Spokane and the Modern Theater Coeur d’Alene.

“While it is not uncommon for companies to experience change and re-branding, we are very sensitive of the outcome this will have on both Spokane and North Idaho communities,” Executive Director George Green (pictured) says in a release. “We are making our best efforts to revitalize and grow while honoring the positive history that the prior venues exhibited over many years.”

Next week, we’ll review the first play under the merger, The Glass Menagerie.

GAME | Move over, DOTA 2 and League of Legends. There’s a new MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena, that is) on the scene. STRIFE is setting out to change the hostile perceptions of this gaming style set by its predecessors, including Strife developer S2’s previous release, Heroes of Newerth.

With Strife, the team hopes to weed out those mean trolls through a karma vote system, and thus create a more welcoming environment for casual or new MOBA players who may be unsure of the genre based on past experiences or hearsay. Strife’s play format is fairly standard — two teams of five players battle for and defend territory in an enclosed arena, upgrading their characters’ abilities as each battle session progresses. The free-to-play game is currently in Beta mode, with new features added continuously.

MUSIC | In one week, the music video for “I Won’t Let You Down,” the second single from OK Go’s latest record HUNGRY GHOSTS, racked up more than 10.5 million views. The power-pop four-piece is known for its epic, lowbudget videos filmed in a single take.

If you haven’t seen the drone-filmed video for the disco-esque pop anthem, drop what you’re doing and head to YouTube now. Then go get Hungry Ghosts, the band’s fourth studio album and its best yet, with plenty of single-worthy tracks, mixing vibrant strings and brass with OK Go’s upbeat, electronic sound and soaring choruses.

Short and Not-So-Sweet Author J. Robert Lennon’s unpredictable prose hits hard — even in short stories

BY DAN NAILEN

T

he genre-defying J. Robert Lennon is perhaps best known for novels like Familiar, or for the short-lived CBS detective series Unforgettable, based on one of his stories. But chances are you don’t know him unless you’re a dedicated fiction fan who picks up things like the Best American Short Stories anthology.

Lennon teaches at Cornell, pens a blog, Literambivalence, and co-hosts a podcast with poet Ed Skoog. He’s part of the Starry Mountain Sweetheart Band, primarily made up of writers living in Ithaca, N.Y., and his new collection of short stories, See You in Paradise, is bringing him to Spokane thanks to his friendship with local authors Sharma Shields and Jess Walter, who called the stories in Paradise “funny, moving, inventive and absurd.”

We talked with Lennon about his literary life:

Friday, November 21 - 7:30 PM INB Performing Arts Center

30 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014

INLANDER: In some interviews, you refer to being a writer of “literary fiction.” How do you define that?

J. ROBERT LENNON: I only use that because I know it’s a convenient label for fiction that doesn’t fall into any particular genre like science fiction, or romance or mystery. But the fact is my favorite authors in those genres fall into “literary fiction” as well. Which is to say, they are really concerned with the way a sentence sounds. They’re concerned with the economy of language. The expressive acumen of the person writing it — they’re sort of stylistically robust and interesting. They’re not merely getting the job done.

That’s a pretty good way to put it.

I think the reason there are so few writers of genre fiction who are thought to be as good at writing as literary fiction writers is that they have so much more work to do. It’s very hard to create a persuasive plot and characters at the same time you have to design a science-fiction world, or research a police procedure.

Why a short story collection, instead of another novel?

Ever since I’ve published stories, I’ve been sort of pestering various publishers I’ve been with to put out a collection, and they always say, “Let’s wait and see how the next novel does.” And then

the novel does what literary novels do, which is not do very well. But finally my sales started picking up and I started in with Graywolf, who are a press more sympathetic to small, literary books.

And they were super-enthusiastic about the possibility of publishing a collection. I had like 20 years’ worth of stories.

I probably read more science fiction than I read literary fiction. I like having pleasurable reading in areas that aren’t my area of expertise.

I’m very impressionable, and when I read the literary writers, I start to sound like them.

Are your blog and podcast ways to work out ideas, or just outlets for creativity?

I’m kind of an exhibitionist, so the Internet has been a great and dangerous tool for me to indulge that part of my personality. I kind of just like making stuff. And there are things that I would put in a blog or say on a podcast that might not be appropriate for a piece I’d put in a magazine, or that someone would be willing to buy. That’s the kind of stuff I like to read as well.

I like reading people’s of-the-moment casual writing as well as their more refined projects. n

Cooper Kupp didn’t receive big scholarship offers, but is more than happy to be scoring touchdowns for EWU. YOUNG KWAK PHOTO

A Nice Catch

NOT dinner.

Cooper Kupp is happy to be breaking receiving records at EWU

NOT a football.

BY HOWIE STALWICK

S

ophomore Cooper Kupp has quickly established himself as one of the greatest wide receivers in Big Sky Conference history, and Eastern Washington coaches are still patting themselves on the back for winning the recruiting battle for Kupp.

Yep, the Eagles had to fend off Idaho State and… uh, nobody.

The oft-hapless Bengals were the only other school to offer Kupp a scholarship after a stellar career at Davis High School in Yakima.

In fact, Ivy League schools were the only other suitors who seemed more than mildly interested in Kupp, and athletic scholarships are not allowed in the pricey, academically elite conference.

“It was frustrating,” Kupp says.

Talk about frustrating — try covering Kupp on a pass route.

He’s not the fastest guy, nor is he the biggest, but Kupp is putting together another monster season, one year after breaking NCAA Football Championship Subdivision records held by former NFL great Randy Moss and others.

“It’s amazing statistically what he’s done in a short amount of time,” Eastern Washington coach Beau Baldwin says, “but it seems like he’s been here a long time with the amount of plays he’s made.

It’s even more impressive in terms of what he’s meant as a leader and example to our other players.”

Hard work and a passion for football are two qualities Kupp inherited from a family where the sport reigns supreme. Kupp says he remains inspired by a pep talk he received from his father (former NFL quarterback Craig Kupp) in seventh grade, when Cooper was a 5-foot-1, 100-pound benchwarmer in basketball.

“He just said, ‘Continue to work hard. Continue to earn everything, because that’s something that will carry over,’” Kupp recalls.

Today, Kupp stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 195 pounds. He rides the bench no more.

“I’m never going to have God-given speed,” Kupp says. “I’m not going to be given that God-given size. What God did give me

32 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014

is, he gave me the desire to work hard and to push through things and to want to earn things.”

After redshirting his first year at Eastern, Kupp earned firstteam FCS All-America honors last season when he set FCS freshman records of 93 catches, 1,691 receiving yards and 21 touchdown receptions. He also broke an all-time FCS record with touchdown catches in 14 consecutive games.

“Best receiver I have ever played with,” Eastern’s star quarterback Vernon Adams says.

Adams has been sidelined the past month with a broken foot, but Kupp ranks among national leaders with 65 catches for 879 yards and 12 touchdowns for the 8-2 Eagles, who head into a key Big Sky matchup with Montana on Saturday in Cheney.

Kupp, an economics major with a 3.48 grade point average, hopes to follow his dad and grandfather Jake Kupp into the NFL one day. He can also thank his mom for good genes. Karin, a soccer player in college, joined Craig in the Pacific Lutheran University Athletic Hall of Fame in Tacoma.

Cooper boosted his chances of passing along quality genes when he became engaged to EWU track-and-field athlete Anna Croskrey last spring. They’ve scheduled a June 20 wedding.

Croskrey’s presence at Eastern provides Kupp with one more reason to be thankful he wound up playing for the Eagles. Not that he’s forgotten that University of Washington coaches never responded to his letters and game tapes, or that Washington State coaches only expressed interest in him as a walk-on safety.

“It was definitely a tough time,” Kupp says. “But in the end, I’m so glad I’m here.” n Eastern Washington vs. Montana • Sat, Nov. 8, at 12:10 pm • Live on ROOT Sports TV and ESPN 700 AM • Game is sold out

he rain has started, with the feeling that it will never stop. The positive? Eventually the temperature will drop and those raindrops will turn to snowflakes, and those flakes will accumulate to opening-day base requirements.

Then come the social media posts, emails from area resorts, and then the opening-day announcements.

I was recently reminiscing about an opening day at 49 Degrees North on Nov. 11, several years ago. More recently, a Lookout Pass opening day in 2011 on Nov. 18, quickly followed by Schweitzer opening on the next day. Those are the seasons that catch you by surprise and begin with so much stoke, and end with legs of steel and the greater possibility of bag-

ging 100 days.

Until that time, there’s still so much to check off the preseason checklist, including many household chores that will, for sure, be neglected once the season begins. There’s also the last-ditch attempt to get in shape and locate the whereabouts of ski gloves, goggles, helmets, base layers and other necessary gear, to be ready for those opening-day announcements.

Over the past three years, this weekend has been a great way to connect with winter friends and get your stoke on for opening day.

The SNOWLANDER EXPO and POWDERKEG BREW FESTIVAL bring together winter enthusiasts from all over the region, as well as many of our favorite retailers and resorts. This year we’re excited to announce the Washington Trust Rail Jam during the event on Saturday, and the premiere of the Teton Gravity Research movie Almost Ablaze. It’ll be two days of action-packed fun at the Spokane Convention Center. Check out snowlanderexpo.com for more information and to purchase tickets.

See you this weekend!

MOUNTAIN PROFILE

49° NORTH WHAT’S NEW

The biggest improvement for 49 Degrees this summer was the expansion of their existing terrain park: “The terrain park expansion will include 10 new features — three of them are large, new pipe boxes — and the addition of a 36-foot-long rail,” says Alexis Hartmann, the mountain’s marketing director. “Additional on-mountain improvements include expanded brush cutting. Over the last seven years, we have added 500 acres of terrain, and this summer we have been brush cutting in those areas.” The rental department has also added a new fleet of rental skis geared for big mountain and allterrain riding. “These skis will be better for taking people all over the mountain,” says Hartmann.

This summer, 49 Degrees North also started the planning process of a new 5,000-square-foot remote mountain lodge.

A couple of locations are being considered:

4 SNOWLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014

BOB LEGASA PHOTOS

either the base of Chair No. 5 or at the junction of Silver Ridge and Blast face. The anticipated start would be in the summer of 2015 with the utilities construction, with final construction during the summers of 2016 and 2017. “This winter, we will continue with the ongoing planning on this lodge, which will include full food and beverage services,” Hartmann says.

MAKING THE MOST OF IT

Many perks come with being a season pass-holder at 49 Degrees North; 49 has partnered with other, like-minded resorts that share the same values — short lift lines, family-oriented, with wide-open spaces. 49 encourages you to make the most of your pass: Take a trip to one of these awesome ski areas and ski for free. The offer includes five days at White Pass, three tickets to Mission Ridge, two tickets to Bluewood and

two tickets to Loup Loup.

SPECIAL DEALS

There are plenty of ways to save at 49 Degrees North. The mountain is partnering with some Spokane-area businesses to get you on the mountain inexpensively. First is Mega Mondays with participating Ace Hardware stores, where you can pick up a voucher and receive half-off your lift ticket.

This offer is valid on Mondays. For a list of participating stores, check out the 49 Degrees’ website.

49 also is teaming up with Radio Spokane for “Two for Tuesday,” an easy promotion — just go to ski49n.com to receive your coupon. Take the voucher to the ticket window, and you and a friend can ski for the price of one lift ticket.

MOUNTAIN PROFILE

SILVER MOUNTAIN WHAT’S NEW

Last season, Silver Mountain cut two new runs: Bootlegger, accessible off of Chair No. 4, and Shady Lady, off of Chair No. 2. This past summer, Silver Mountain finished brushing them out, making them more buff than ever. “Speaking from experience, these runs were epic and fun, fun, fun last season,” says Neal Scholey, director of marketing and sales. “With the brush cutting and slope maintenance that we completed this summer, we will have more terrain and hope to be able to open it earlier. We are expanding our progression terrain park in hopes of giving the youngsters more opportunities to learn in the park,” Scholey adds.

Another exciting addition to the mountain is the Kellogg Peak webcam. “We are installing a webcam with night vision on the top of Kellogg Peak, so that on some of those stormy evenings, users will be able to

6 SNOWLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014

go up and check out what is happening at the top,” says Scholey. Viewers will be able to see all the powder that’s falling.

MAKING THE MOST OF IT

How to make the most of your Silver Mountain experience? “At Silver Mountain, we have two incredible opportunities to ski powder, which are unique to Silver,” Scholey says. “During non-holiday weeks, Silver Mountain is closed Tuesday and Wednesday so Thursday Powder days can be off the charts.” So if you see a storm coming through the region on a Tuesday or Wednesday, check out the newly installed Kellogg Peak webcam, visit the snow report and make your way to Silver for a Thursday Powder Day. The second way to take advantage of a Silver powder day is to sign up for their First Tracks program, available on Saturday mornings.

BOB LEGASA PHOTOS

This new program includes early access to the Gondola and a gourmet breakfast up at the Mountain Haus lodge before having the mountain all to yourself for about an hour before the general public. The cost is $39.95 plus the cost of your lift ticket.

Reservations are required and must be completed online.

SPECIAL DEALS

Silver makes it easy to combine a day of skiing with lodging, offering a “Ski, Surf and Splash Package.” There are multiple lodging options in the Morning Star Lodge, located in the heart of the Gondola Village. This package includes lift tickets, lodging and unlimited access to Idaho’s largest indoor waterpark. Weekend packages start at $87.75 per person based on a four-person occupancy.

LOOKOUT PASS WHAT’S NEW

“As soon as it snows, we’re ready to go,” says Phil Edholm, CEO and president of Lookout Pass Ski & Recreation Area.

This is due in part to the sheer amount of snowfall they receive throughout the year, especially in the early season. “Of course, a large part of this is because of the extensive brush cutting we complete every summer,” adds Edholm, this year being no exception. Other improvements include the purchase of a PistenBully snowcat, expanding their fleet of groomers to a total of five and adding more grooming capability for those infrequent Lookout dry spells.

“We have all new skis and snowboards in our rental fleet this season,” Edholm says. “This is something we do every year.” Another project for Lookout Pass this summer was the ongoing process for their next expansion project, which will include two new chairlifts, 700 acres and 14 new runs, plus gladed areas. “We are still in the middle of the Environmental Impact Study,” says

8 SNOWLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014

Edholm. This expansion will be in the Eagle Peak area, to the immediate west of the existing ski area. This will be the third major expansion since 2003, when the Timber Wolf double chair was added to the Montana side of the mountain, followed by 2007, when the North Star double chairlift added expert terrain with a north aspect to the Lookout Pass trail map.

You won’t see this update for the upcoming season, but Lookout Pass is in the planning stage of lodge improvements: A new 14,000-square-foot base lodge is being drawn up that will include meeting room space, a new food court and expanded season. The plans also include for the lower level to have overnight rooms.

MAKING THE MOST OF IT

During January and February, Lookout Pass is open six days a week, Wednesday through Monday. Hit the mountain on Wednesday, after a Monday evening

or Tuesday storm cycle, and enjoy a morning of fresh powder.

Lookout Pass also has an assortment of learning opportunities for those looking to advance their skills: Programs for seniors on Mondays, women’s-only clinic Downhill Divas on Fridays, and the Next Level program for intermediate and advanced skiers and snowboarders, scheduled for Sundays.

SPECIAL DEALS

6-Pack Advance Ticket Package: If you know you’re going to ski Lookout Pass this season but can’t commit to a season pass, take a look at the 6-Pack Advance Ticket Package: Make your purchase at least five days in advance and receive six days of skiing for the price of five; adults $200, junior/senior $145 and college/military $190, plus Idaho state sales tax.

MOUNTAIN PROFILE

MOUNT SPOKANE WHAT’S NEW

This winter, terrain park users at Mt. Spokane Ski & Snowboard Park will see a lot of additions to the freestyle program at the Kan. “We are building a whole new, all-natural terrain park featuring log rails, among many other features, that will be completely natural,” says Kristin Whitaker, mountain services, marketing and events manager for Mt. Spokane. Also, in an effort to stay connected with terrain park users, terrain park staff will be managing and building dialogue with park users through the new website mtspokane.com/terrainparks.

“We spent a good part of the summer glading the trees on Chair 4, which will allow for a better exit towards the bottom,” explains Whitaker regarding other summer projects. “We also updated restrooms in Lodge 2 and completely remodeled the restrooms in Lodge 1, as well giving it new exterior paint.

10 SNOWLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014

“We are still in the ongoing approval process for installing the Red Chair. We are still awaiting a decision,” with the final meeting at Center Place in the Spokane Valley, Nov. 19 at 6:30 pm. With the final decision coming Nov. 20, supporters of the Red Chair are encouraged to stop by the Mt. Spokane booth at the Snowlander Expo, pick up your own “I Support the Red Chair” pin, and attend the meeting on the 19th.

MAKING THE MOST OF IT

The “First Timers Guide” Video Series, available on Mt. Spokane’s website, is a great tool for beginners on how to make the most of their first trip up to Mt. Spokane. Currently, there are several videos available: “Getting Up the Mountain,” offering how to get up to the mountain in less than an hour, “Where Do I Go,” providing advice on where to go once you’ve gotten to the

BOB LEGASA PHOTOS

parking lot; and “The Snow Sports Center,” showing firsttime users what is available at this location. “The Rental Shop” demystifies the rental process.

Mt. Spokane has also started another series called “Words of Wisdom from Your Mountain Momma,” where ski school director and Mountain Momma Maxine McIntyre offers advice on different aspects of the mountain experience.

SPECIAL DEALS

The Stocking Stuffers are back at Mt. Spokane. This program is simple: Pay $99 before Dec. 31 and you’ll receive five youth tickets (ages 7-17) or three adult tickets (18 and older). Student Packs provide college students with four anytime lift tickets; the punch cards are non-transferable. Prices go up to $129 on Jan. 1.

SCHWEITZER MOUNTAIN RESORT WHAT’S NEW Much of Schweitzer Mountain Resort’s summer improvements might go unseen to many skiers and riders, but will directly benefit them. “We have invested over $1 million in mountain improvements, most noticeably being the brush cutting and mowing we have completed over the summer on front-side runs Midway and Jam Session,” says Sean Mirus, Schweitzer’s director of marketing. “Zip Down, on the backside, off of Stella, has also been cleared.” Schweitzer officials and locals are excited about this, as it allows them to open with less snow on those popular early season runs. “Our goal is to get on an every-other-year cycle with these runs,” Mirus says.

Other improvements include the paving of part of the main parking lot and the addition of restrooms near the Hermit’s Hollow Tubing Center, benefiting tubing area and Nordic trail users, as well as those skiing back down to the Great

12 SNOWLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014

Escape Quad. Upgrades have also been made to the snowmaking system on the lower mountain. “We also added another snowcat to the fleet,” says Mirus; that will increase overall grooming capacity.

MAKING THE MOST OF IT

If you’ve purchased your Schweitzer season pass, you’re now part of the Powder Alliance, which got a little bigger this season: Silver Star has been added to the list of resorts where you can ski free for three days. Other resorts include Stevens Pass, Bridger Bowl, Snow Basin and Crested Butte, among a total of 13 in the alliance.

Check out powderalliance.com for the list and details.

If you’re new to skiing and want to get involved without a huge financial commitment, Schweitzer has revamped their “Ski Free in 3” program: Sign up for three lessons for $159, including lessons, lift tickets and equipment rentals. If you

complete all three lessons, Schweitzer will give you a pass to ski for free from mid-March through the end of the season.

Additionally, if a friend joins you, they’ll throw in an extra lift ticket to use anytime during the season.

SPECIAL DEALS

There are plenty of affordable ways to enjoy Schweitzer. For the past several years, Schweitzer has offered a $10 Community Day: for $10, you can ski and ride all day All ticket proceeds for that day will benefit local nonprofits. This event is tentatively planned for Friday, Dec. 12.

Back again this season is the ever-popular Sunday Solution program: Excluding holiday weekends, buy a lift ticket for Sunday afternoon (after 12:30), online for $25 or at the ticket window for $35.

The beginner chair is free if acquiring the ticket online, or $10 at the ticket window.

PICTURE THIS

Slopeside photography enhances your skiing and snowboarding experiences BY ELI FRANCOVICH “There is something so big and vast about the mountains and the winter,” says Mason Sutter.

MASON SUTTER PHOTOS

A

blanket of snow softens the jagged lines of a mountain. It dampens sounds, plays with light and allows skiers and boarders to fly. The beauty, speed and quiet have always attracted Mason Sutter to winter sports. Two years ago, the avid snowboarder tore his ACL and meniscus — temporarily retiring the board.

“With that injury, that’s where my photography kind of picked up,” Sutter says. “I just wanted to fill that void.”

So he started hiking as part of his rehab and took a camera along.

Sutter says he’d learned the basics of film photography in an introductory class at Spokane Falls Community College. But he didn’t dive into it until his injury forced him off the slopes.

Now he’s even more excited about photography than he is about getting back on his board.

“There is something so big and vast about the mountains and the winter,” he says. “Photography is such a great way to capture [those] moments and places.”

Although photography is highly personal for Sutter, it’s also a way of keeping people involved in his life. Through his photos, he gives a personal definition to beauty and nature. “[Snowboarding] is an extreme sport, but it’s actually one of the most peaceful things I’ve ever done,” he says. “You can just stare at a photo and just feel how quiet it must have been.”

Snow photography poses its own challenges, the first being access.

Sutter recommends that aspiring snow photographers become familiar with the winter sports they’re trying to shoot. For him, being immersed in the snowboard world helped tremendously.

“I knew snowboarding,” he says. “I grew up with the magazines.

Those were my big inspirations.”

The cold, relative remoteness of many mountains and other barriers make winter photography more difficult to execute. However, it’s also what makes it rewarding, Sutter says.

“Most of the pictures I’ve taken were me just like, ‘Holy crap, look at

24 SNOWLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014

this, look at where I am,’” he says.

Light in the mountains can be tricky, he says. When shooting, especially with film, you have to watch your white balance and exposure.

Sutter has learned the best time to shoot snow photos, or really any kind of landscape photo, is early in the morning.

“Getting up early was a huge thing I had to learn how to do,” he says.

Researching conditions before you go is also important. A cloudy day in Spokane might be clear blue skies on Mount Spokane, or vice versa. Still it’s unavoidable, especially in this area, that many days will be overcast and gray. In those situations, Sutter says he prefers to shoot black and white.

Still, the best way to get better is to just shoot lots of photos. The more comfortable you are with your camera, the better you’ll be.

“I think photography is a great outlet,” Sutter says. “Especially for introverted people. For me, it was a huge way to branch out and express myself.”

For those more interested in shooting video, GoPros are the perfect option, according to Nick Beale of REI. On Thursday, Nov. 20, he’ll teach an REI GoPro basic class. Beale uses his GoPro for skiing, mountain biking and fly-fishing expeditions. During the class, he’ll teach the basics of effective GoPro use and different mounting and stabilization techniques.

He also recommends that GoPro users play around with their camera before they take it into the field. Additionally, he recommends getting as large a memory card as possible and splitting your video into chunks, as opposed to just shooting one continuous video.

“These cameras are incredibly capable,” Beale says. “The sky is the limit.”

Beale says GoPro’s website offers free programs and tips, including free video editing software.

At the end of the day, Sutter says it’s all about keeping your eyes open, and your camera ready. n

THE LAST RUN tion. That was so much fun, although I think I might have sacrificed my right gloves. Never mind: found them in my boot bag. Oh, and the ski socks I was wearing that day are in there too. Probably should wash those…

Found my goggles, but where’s my helmet?

6 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY

Whoa! I just put my ski boots on for the first time since closing day. How do these ever feel comfortable? In an attempt to make them a little easier to put on, I walked around the house and got a glare from the dog as I walked by as gracefully as Frankenstein. How can 110 flex boots feel so good in January but so horrible in November?

5 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY

Just checked the tracking for my new skis. I’ve checked five times a day for the past week, and the system still says “Processing Order.”

Why does it take so long to process? It’s easy.

Receive the order, put it in a box and ship it.

4 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY

Woke up this morning and tracked the new skis again. “On truck for delivery” — looks like I’m stalking the UPS man today.

JIM CAMPBELL ILLUSTRATION

When you see this icon you’ll know you’re supporting a local business.

14 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY

I put my ski pants on today. While I can still zip them up, sitting on a chairlift with thick base layers might be a problem. Time to overdose on lunges and crunches for the next 14 days. Wow, I must have had a fun summer.

12 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY

Less than two weeks until opening day. It’s raining, cold and all motivation has been lost to do anything except my mandatory crunches

and lunges and watch old ski movies. Maybe I’ll put my ski pants on as a reminder as to why I shouldn’t drink PBR while watching them.

7 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY

I decided to try to find my gear that I forgot I bought at the end of last season. Found two gloves, but they’re both left-handed — now I’m remembering that end-of-the-year of celebra-

I have new skis! The best feeling in the world — or so it seems for a couple of weeks, anyway.

Time to bust out the Pendleton whiskey and PBR for the ceremonial first waxing of the new boards.

2 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY

My car is packed and I’m ready! I just can’t wait! Two ‘sleeps away’ from the best time of the year.

OPENING DAY EVE

I took today off from lunges and crunches in hopes of not having legs that are too fatigued, but who I am kidding: I’ll be sore for sure.

Tomorrow is the day. Can’t sleep.

OPENING DAY

My alarm was set for 5:30. It’s 4. I’m up like a kid on Christmas morning. I’ve been waiting almost 230 days for this… time to go ski! n

Dave Musser grew up pickling and is now passing on the knowledge to his own kids. YOUNG KWAK PHOTO

PICKLE PRIDE The pickling gospel is spreading to a new generation

BY LAURA JOHNSON

P

ickling parties are a family event at the Musser house.

Sometimes there’s a gaggle of friends and relatives; other times it’s Dave Musser, his wife Brianna and their feisty 3-year-old daughter picking the bounty from their garden. Then the adults wash the equipment, boil the vinegar-based brine, pack, seal and then boil the jars.

Musser, who grew up pickling with his parents, preserved cucumbers and spicy green beans with his own young family for the first time last year. They now have a closet full of homemade pickles and canned pear butter, spaghetti sauce and salsa.

“I was always the weird kid who brought homemade pickles to school in my lunchbox,” the 32-year-old says in his Emerson-Garfield neighborhood home. “Now I’m passing down this tradition.” ...continued on next page

“PICKLE PRIDE,” CONTINUED...

Pickling, canning and brewing beer at home are making a comeback. What once was something older generations had to do to make budgets and food supplies last is now trendy, as Portlandia-watching young people look to be healthier and self-sufficient.

But Musser says he didn’t get into preserving because it was hip.

“There’s probably a little bit of cool pride in me to say ‘I made this, I grew this,’’ says Musser, a pastor at Alter Church.

“It’s fun to say to our daughter, ‘This is out of our garden and you helped with this.’ She’s more likely to eat it that way.”

Not only do the Mussers’ dill pickles turn out light and crunchy, the packed jars make perfect housewarming gifts. Big dinners also become a bit simpler.

“When people come over, all I have to do for an appetizer is put out a plate of pickles, crackers and cheese, and people are happy,” Musser says.

At Spokane’s Petunias Marketplace, owner Stacy Blowers sells a variety of pickled vegetables packaged in her quaint shop’s commercial kitchen. She says over the past four years, customers’ interest in pickling has spiked.

“Across the board, people are interested in the farm-to-table process again because it’s healthy and wholesome,” Blowers says.

Manufacturing and selling pickles for the public is quite a different matter than making them at home. The FDA must approve all pickle recipes before they can be sold at a shop or local farmers market.

“It’s important I know what I’m doing with my process, re-

Dave Musser’s pickled green beans, just one of the vegetables he pickles. YOUNG KWAK PHOTO cording every step of the way,” Blowers says. “There is a big risk with pickles, but if you do it appropriately, in a consistent manner, it will work fine.”

That risk is botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning that paralyzes the body. The best way to prevent the bacteria from activating is heat and a tight seal. If a jar of pickles has a popped lid, murky color or funky odor, toss it out.

With winter fast approaching, the Mussers’ garden is dormant until next spring, but that doesn’t mean they can’t pickle at any time. Beets, a cold weather crop, can be pickled until the frost hits. As Musser points out, you can pickle store-bought pickles year-round or purchase from seasonal farmers markets if you don’t want to tend a garden.

Musser’s neighbor James Toshack, 32, also pickles. He’s been at it for about five years, after an overabundance of vegetables from his family’s garden led to some experimentation. He especially likes concocting relishes and sauerkraut.

“I find the whole process incredibly rewarding. I don’t mind sweating a bit,” Toshack says.

But the process can be daunting. Pickling can take up an entire afternoon and can grow monotonous.

“We taught a friend how to pickle this year,” Musser says.

“She was joking around, saying, ‘This is a full-time job.’ But I don’t think it’s that bad. I think more people would like pickling if they tried it.” n lauraj@inlander.com

artly obscured by the yellow-leaved trees edging the strip mall parking lot, it’s easy to miss the tiny gray building as traffic zips up and down the busy South Hill arterial.

But those who’ve discovered Guice, a freshly made juice and smoothie stand and one of the newest additions to the city’s bustling southern edge, are likely to head back to the little gray hut for a fast and healthy snack.

In September, owner Michelle Kinyon opened the juice stand in the parking lot of a retail center housing Ace Hardware, Round Table Pizza and Ferrante’s Marketplace Cafe. She ditched her job in the banking industry, hoping to provide her South Hill neighbors their recommended daily intake of fruits and veggies in a more palatable form.

“I’ve seen a lot of change here the past several years, but nothing that sparks or promotes wellness,” Kinyon says of the neighborhood. “I feel like there is always that up-and-new restaurant opening, which is great… but what about that daily ‘What can I do for my body?’”

And with its strategically located drivethrough stand, Kinyon is already noticing positive reception from the community. Parents on their way to drop the kids off at school can swing by for a quick morning smoothie or juice

without getting the kids out of the car, she notes.

The massive Southeast Sports Complex sits just across the street, and Kinyon often serves soccer players and their families who walk over for a postgame refreshment.

Guice offers both smoothies and freshpressed vegetable and fruit juice blends. All of the products are organic and dairy-free, the latter a choice Kinyon made to cater to customers who may have dairy intolerance. Instead of milk or yogurt, she uses rice, coconut and almond milks.

Guice offers 8 oz. kid-sized drinks ($4), but otherwise all beverages are 16 oz., ranging in price from $6.50 to $7, not including any added ingredients like wheatgrass, chia seeds, hemp protein powder or echinacea. While the stand is too small for a kitchen, Kinyon stocks it with organic snack bars ($2) and hummus and veggie togo packs ($5). While Guice features six smoothies and four juice blends on its menu, Kinyon is happy to customize a drink for customers.

“You can’t really go wrong,” she says. “It doesn’t matter what you put together, it’s going to taste good.” n Guice • 4502 S. Regal • Mon-Fri, 7:30 am-4 pm; Sat, 8:30 am-4:30 pm • facebook.com/ guicespokane • 230-0946

Pend d’Oreille Winery puts the finishing touches on its expansion

BY CARRIE SCOZZARO

W

ith the opening of the Bistro Rouge Cafe, Steve and Julie Meyer’s vision for expanding their Pend d’Oreille Winery is nearly complete. When they purchased the historic Belwood building, the plan was to refurbish the building to house an expanded retail area, wine tasting room and a cafeturned-restaurant.

Remodeling the Belwood building included restoring original brick, removing the creamy yellow paint from the exterior — leaving the original mural from Sandpoint Motor Company — and repurposing both glass blocks and the building’s 110-year-old flooring. The design features exposed wood and metal beams, brick and plenty of warm wood, accented by subtle drop lighting throughout.

The expansion allows chef Stephanie Royer ample room to create a tasting room menu of small plates that carry over to the restaurant. Grilled asparagus with crispy lardons and cherry tomatoes capture the last of summer’s greenery ($8). The aguachile is their take on ceviche, pairing thin-sliced scallops with roasted sweet corn in an equally blistering lime-and-chile sauce ($13).

You have your choice of two types of sliders ($10): pulled pork or spicy beef.

Entrées include a range of proteins. Quinoa is paired with garlic, asparagus, cauliflower and cherry tomatoes topped by an egg and Parmesan crisp ($13). The “crusty clams” — potatoes, lardons and leeks in a white wine sauce served with buttery grilled baguette ($12) — are a real hit.

Bistro Blanc and Bistro Rouge are available by the glass ($6), carafe ($12) or bottle ($20) and are featured in a few menu items, such as the mushrooms sautéed in Bistro Blanc finished with fresh herbs ($6). The oxtail is braised in Bistro Rouge and served on yellow quinoa ($15).

The rest of the wine list ranges from reds, whites and reserves like the 2012 Zinfandel, as well as a port and the lighter Huckleberry Blush. Of course, if you discover a wine you adore, the retail area can bag it and have it ready for you to take home. n

Farmhouse Red Ale Beef Stew INGREDIENTS

2 lbs flat iron steak, cut into 1 x 4-inch strips 5 pieces thick bacon, diced 1 onion, quartered and sliced into 1/2-inch strips 2 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 2 celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1/2 can tomato paste 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 2 sprigs thyme 1 bay leaves 1.5 bottles Farmhouse Red Ale 4 cups beef stock Flour for dredging 2 tps olive oil salt & pepper

SERVES: Makes 4-6 servings PREP TIME: 15-20 Min. COOK TIME: 30 min. DIFFICULTY: Easy DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 F. Generously season strips of beef with salt and pepper, then coat in flour. In a large, oven-safe pot or dutch oven, heat olive oil on medium-high. Add the flour-coated beef to the hot pan. Be sure not to crowd the pan; you will need to work in batches. Set browned meat aside on to a sheet pan.

Once all the meat is browned and set aside, add bacon to the pot and cook until it begins to crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Add onions to the pot and begin to scrape up bits from the bottom of the pan.

Cook for about 4-5 minutes then add in the Rounder Farmhouse Red Ale and continue to get all bits off the bottom of the pan (deglaze). Add in carrots, celery, and garlic and cook until liquid has reduced by half. Then add tomato paste, beef, and enough beef stock to cover the beef. Finally, add thyme and bay leaves, bring to a simmer, and then place into a 350 F oven. Check the stew after 30 minutes and add more stock if necessary. Cook the stew in the oven for a total of an hour and a half. Serve in bowls with a piece of crusty bread for dipping.

Dare to Dream

Interstellar gives us hope for the future of big movies — and humanity

BY MARYANN JOHANSON

T

his is big. It’s huge. We don’t make movies like this anymore — we hardly ever did. I’m not talking about big in the sense of budget, or even big like “epic.” We do that plenty: spend the GDP of a small nation to make men in capes fly or monsters stomp or toys sing.

I’m talking big when it comes to ideas. Big when it comes to optimism. What passes for science fiction on screens big and small these days is dreary and depressing.

Postapocalyptic and apprehensive. We stopped looking out and started looking down, and back, and in. We lost wonder and replaced it with worry.

Which is why Interstellar is so thrilling. It is full of stirring notions of what humanity might be capable of, and follows through with the breathtaking adventure that necessarily follows. Or the adventure that necessarily follows if we chase those possibilities instead of ignoring them. It is full of enormous risk-taking in the quest for something bigger and better for all of us. It is full of hope for humanity. And that is a wonderfully refreshing thing right now.

Interstellar does have looming apocalypse, yes, but that’s merely the impetus for the adventure. In the near future, nature is slowly collapsing and human structures are stagnating. But even here, a little bit of wonder and excitement can be rustled up by someone with the

40 INLANDER NOVEMBER 6, 2014

inclination for it. Our introduction to Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) comes through a chase he leads his kids on to capture a feral surveillance drone — its solar panels and other technological goodies are invaluable salvage — that’s free for the taking, since any semblance of mission control collapsed a decade back.

Coop is a lonely would-be adventurer in a world that, like ours, has lost its taste for space exploration. But a few people in a NASA that has been driven underground, literally and figuratively, are maintaining the dream, including mathematician Brand (Michael Caine) and his scientist daughter Amelia (Anne Hathaway). There’s real urgency to their work, because they’ve discovered a wormhole out near Saturn that could hold the key to humanity’s salvation: a new planet to call home on the other side. It doesn’t take much for the Brands to convince Coop that a trip through the wormhole to scout for a habitable planet would satisfy both his thirst for adventure and his desire to save his children from the oncoming doom.

That’s the quickest outline of the beginning of a story for which the term epic barely suffices. Director Christopher Nolan — writing once again with his brother Jonathan — could easily have expanded this into a 10-hour miniseries, as there’s so much that could have been lingered over. Yet Interstellar, at nearly three hours,

certainly isn’t rushed, either. Nolan takes plenty of time for a sort of deep-space grandeur that was surely inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey — the image of the tiny ship Coop and his small crew leave Earth in passing in front of the immensity of Saturn brought tears to my eyes, with its juxtaposition of the might of nature and the audacity of humanity. It isn’t at all unfair to see shades of 2001 INTERSTELLAR in Interstellar, not when it Rated PG-13 concerns itself with both Directed by Christopher Nolan Starring Matthew McConaughey, the most intimate of human Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain emotions and desires — love and survival, loneliness and despair — and the biggest of ideas: the boldness of humans as a species and the future to which we might aspire.

This is a film as bold and audacious as the ideas and adventure it embraces as humanity’s destiny, never dumbing down its science and never pretending that the clash between reason and emotion isn’t something that even brilliant scientists battle in themselves. The most humanist thing about what might be the most humanist science-fiction film in ages is this: it knows that our future is in the hands of all us deeply flawed and deeply conflicted humans, but there’s still plenty of reason to hope anyway. But we do actually have to try. 

BIG HERO 6

Disney’s latest CGI animated film Big Hero 6 combines WALL-E, Iron Man, and The Incredibles with a dash of The Avengers and the vaguest hint of Portal 2.

If that doesn’t sound amazing, go watch Masterpiece Theatre or something.

Boy genius Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter) lives in San Fransokyo (a vibrant neon hybrid of San Francisco and Tokyo) and spends his time illegally hustling in robot fights until his brother shows him his college science lab where his buddies are making astounding inventions under the tutelage of professor Robert Callaghan (James Cromwell). To impress the professor and get into school, Hiro designs microbots, miniature robots that can be mind-controlled via a headband to do a seemingly anything the controller envisions. But after tragedy strikes, Hiro is left adrift in his mourning. Hiro accidentally activates Tadashi’s project — a marshmallow-puffy medical robot named Baymax (Scott Adsit). Together they discover Hiro’s microbots were stolen by a Kabuki mask-wearing villain who plans to use them for destruction. To stop him Hiro crafts high-powered super suits for himself, Baymax and his friends to wear. All the time, Hiro trains Baymax and the two become best buds. Rated PG — SETH SOMMERFELD

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

MY OLD LADY

Kevin Kline is Mathias Gold, a 57-yearold New Yorker who arrives in France to take ownership of an apartment left to him by his estranged father. There, Mathias finds an elderly British woman named Mathilde Girard (Maggie Smith) living in the place, the result of an odd bit of French property law called a viager. At Magic Lantern (DN) Rated PG-13

NIGHTCRAWLER

Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a creepy guy with obvious psychotic tendencies.

Then he meets his first nightcrawler, someone who goes out after dark, following leads from police scanners and, video camera in hand, rushes to crime scenes, gets bloody footage, then hightails it to whatever local TV station will pay the most to put it on the air first.

Lou gets good at this, sells a lot of footage and then begins getting in way over his head. (ES) Rated R

OUIJA

Innocent teenagers who mourn the loss of their friend gather together at the scene of her death to communicate with her spirit through a Ouija board. Once they play the game, they open a connection to terrifying spirits who were responsible for killing their friend. (MS) Rated PG-13

THE SKELETON TWINS

This story of an estranged family is perfectly bizarre, emotional and lighthearted. Siblings Milo and Maggie, played by Bill Hader and Kristin Wiig, reunite after 10 years of separation and attempt to find understanding in their messy relationship. Their quirky, loving and complicated dynamics are highly entertaining. At Magic Lantern (MS) Rated R

ST. VINCENT

Bill Murray stars as the titular Vincent, a broke, alcoholic, degenerate, curmudgeonly gambler with a crude Brooklyn accent who manages to become the after-school babysitter of his neighbor kid when his mother (Melissa McCarthy) takes extra hours as a nurse. The pair slowly warms to each other as Vincent shows Oliver the ways of the world in his unconventional manner (certainly more Bad Santa than Up). (SS) Rated R

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. 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 

Keaton and Ed Norton face off in Birdman.

Michael Keaton’s bummed-out movie about movies delivers big-time

M

ichael Keaton is going to win an Oscar for Birdman.

OK, got that out of the way. Sitting down to watch this film, knowing nothing about it, I immediately got caught up in the emotions of the characters, the offbeat style of the storytelling, and the sometimes bizarre plot that saw things dipping in and out of reality and fantasy.

The movie involves acting, actors’ egos, and movies versus stage plays, and it owes at least part of its emotional impact to the nasty little Raymond Carver short story What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.

Michael Keaton plays Riggan, an actor who made his name by portraying a comic book superhero named Birdman (yeah, Keaton played Batman twice), then gave up the movie franchise, floundered around for a long while and is trying for a comeback, doing anything but the superhero character.

That comeback, he hopes, will happen via the Broadway stage, where he’s adapting, directing and starring in a play based on that Carver story. The play is the only thing he has left to live for. But his daughter Sam (Emma Stone), fresh out of rehab and now working as his assistant, has lost faith in him. His male costar, Mike (Edward Norton), is trying to steal every scene, sometimes because of his insistence on drinking lots of vodka, not water, when the script calls for vodka. Emotional complications ensue when

two female costars in the play (Naomi Watts and Andrea Riseborough) become part of the already heated goings-on.

But the complications haven’t even begun.

Riggan must also deal with an inner voice, one that speaks the low, growling, unforgiving sentiments of Birdman, BIRDMAN the fictional Rated R character he Directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Starring Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, used to play, and who Naomi Watts, Emma Stone now wants him to get off the stage and get busy resurrecting the movie franchise.

The film is brimming with brilliantly constructed long takes that move characters around onstage, coast along with them through corridors and down stairways, and float with them on the streets of New York. Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (Amores Perros, Biutiful) and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (Gravity) add both razzle and dazzle to the proceedings, but the sparks really fly when Keaton and Norton share scenes together, often in extreme close-up, and show what great and fearless acting is all about.

This is exciting, introspective and captivating adult entertainment of the highest order. One more thing to entice or perhaps confound you: Riggan can levitate objects, including himself. 

Swinging Doors Country singer Jon Pardi, center, performs with his band the All Nighters at the Palomino Club last Saturday.

YOUNG KWAK PHOTO

A new batch of clubs are trying to keep live country music viable in the Inland Northwest

BY LAURA JOHNSON

“A

merica, America! … Y’all sing with me!”

Nashville’s Jon Pardi yells from the Palomino Club stage Saturday night.

With beers raised to the heavens, the country musicloving audience sings along to “America the Beautiful.”

Pardi wraps his vocal solo with a pointed “’Merica,” as the crowd hoots and hollers. The band moves quickly into another pop-country favorite and a few couples start up their country swing dancing once more.

Turn on the radio in the Inland Northwest and seemingly every other station plays pop country. The Spokane Arena already has Miranda Lambert and Jason Aldean concerts scheduled for next year. People want pop-country music, but that hasn’t exactly equated to success in the local country music club scene.

There are exceptions: Post Falls’ Slab Inn has been around for decades, Spokane Valley’s Roadhouse opened two years ago, and various Eagles Clubs (which house more traditional country dances) are still going strong.

But in downtown Spokane, Big City Saloon is closed for remodeling and Sergio’s Country Nights shuttered its doors in April after six years. Still, the Palomino Club opened in July in the old Center building. Just two weekends ago, Nashville North set up shop in Post Falls in what was once Big Al’s (closed in March).

P

roperty owner Fred Lopez sits at the bar in the dimly lit Roadhouse. It’s hours before the Halloween festivities begin, and he’s gearing up for another packed night of patrons taking on the mechanical

bull and packing the dance floor for live music.

“Country has always been in this area, and it will always be here,” Lopez says.

Since opening in 2012, Lopez has listened to what his customers want. At first he thought the building would host country and rock, but soon it was all country.

“People used to ask me, ‘What about up north?’”

Lopez says. So he opened the Palomino Club. With Nashville North newly open, he says that more country bars means more interest in the scene.

“I think the reason I was successful here was because Big Al’s was already there,” Lopez admits.

After it sat dormant for the better part of this year, country singer Jeremy McComb and businessman Bob ...continued on next page

MUSIC | LOCAL SCENE “SWINGING DOORS,” CONTINUED...

Kreaman bought the Big Al’s space and turned it into what they call a true Nashville honky-tonk.

“I got my start at Kelly’s [the name before Big Al’s] when I was 16,” McComb says from his tour bus in West Virginia. “The place has a special place in my heart.”

McComb, who left Post Falls in 2004 after landing a gig as Larry the Cable Guy’s tour manager, was soon signed in Nashville. He’s lived there 10 years, but wants his hometown to have a happening country bar like the one he grew up with.

“It’s not about pandering to the audience with the mechanical bull, but it’s a real lifestyle,” McComb says. “It’s about taking the music to a different level.”

Every few months, McComb’s band plans to come through the venue. He’ll send other Nashville acts that way, too. In the meantime, the resident act will be the Luke Jaxon Band.

G

rowing up in Spokane, country singer Luke Jaxon had trouble finding peers who liked country music. These days, people in their early 20s are coming to his shows.

“I was always trying to convince people it wasn’t just for hicks,” Jaxon, 30, explains. “But now there’s an uprising in the younger generation, especially with the genre-bending country.”

Even with a new generation listening to country, there were more clubs to play at just five years ago, he says: “I’d say in the last 10 years you’re seeing less live music across all types of

clubs; people want DJs.” Around since 2010, his group is so popular they’re booked about a year in advance. But Jaxon isn’t satisfied simply playing the covers that dancers want in country music clubs. The band has originals, which they pepper throughout their set every night they play at Nashville North to keep things fresh.

“Not everyone drives a truck; I can understand where country is not relatable,” Jaxon says.

“But the songs about love and relationships, that’s where everyone can get it.”

T

onight at the Palomino, people are under Jon Pardi’s spell. Michael Lyngstad, 28, spins a smiling brunette with an intricate hand exchange and twirl. The “real country” guy, complete with cowboy hat, says he comes out to country music clubs because he feels comfortable there. Jessica Radke, 29, doesn’t like to dance in public — or at least she thought she didn’t until she met Lyngstad tonight. She says that even people who don’t like country music should give this type of club a chance; the dancing is exciting.

Leaving the building for the night, the drunk guy standing outside in the stars-and-stripesforever cowboy hat tells the truth: “We’re all just here for the chicks.”

Not so different from any other type of club in America. n lauraj@inlander.com

They Will Rock You The Everymen have Jersey pride and an expansive sound that belies their name

BY DAN NAILEN

M

Mike V. , in the back with the beard, stands surrounded by one of the ever-changing Everymen lineups.

ike V. knows the image you probably have of his beloved home state of New Jersey. The Sopranos. MTV’s Jersey Shore. Bruce Springsteen.

The leader of the Everymen and native of that same Jersey shore doesn’t want to change your mind about the Garden State through his band’s bombastic, straightforward rock. He just wants to rock your ass.

“Where I grew up, it was a cultural void,” he says.

“On the beach, all they wanted was cover bands. If you’re not playing Journey covers, the clubs don’t want you. I had no interest. I just wanted to write tunes. At the same time, it’s the Jersey shore, so it’s a party mecca and I feel like a lot of that shit comes through in our tunes.”

Indeed, the songs filling the Everymen’s latest release, Givin’ Up On Free Jazz, are bound to get a dance floor moving, even as they genre-jump all over the sonic map.

There’s everything from hardcore punk on songs like

“NJHC” to the Boss’ E Street Band on “A Girl Named Lou Pt. 2” to ’50s-era girl group doo-wop on “Fingers Crossed,” thanks to co-vocalist Catherine Herrick taking the lead.

Put together all the power chords, horn blasts and boy-girl vocal trade-offs, and Givin’ Up On Free Jazz makes for one of the more exhilarating listens all year. Even so, life on the road for the six-member touring version of the Everymen — a lineup that grew to nine during recording — is anything but easy.

Mike V. and company stuff themselves into a van, and all work day jobs from laptops as they travel. As he chats, Mike V. has just heard that two of their shows are canceled, meaning the Everymen have two unexpected days off and a long drive from North Carolina to Texas for the next show.

“It sucks, man,” he says. “We’re out on the road to

play shows, we’re not on vacation. It’s fun rolling around the country with your buddies, but we’d rather be playing. If we could play 50 shows in 50 nights, that would make us happy.”

The band’s second trip to the West includes a return to Baby Bar, a long way from where Mike V. used to drive an hour into the Jersey woods just to get a signal from Princeton’s college radio station. He’d smoke pot with friends and write down the bands he liked. “That’s how I heard Pavement, Guided by Voices.”

The Everymen’s previous Spokane stop was one of the tour’s best, he says, noting “we don’t really do so well in bigger cities. We do better in smaller towns where people just want to party and drink beers and dance.”  The Everymen • Wed, Nov. 12, at 10 pm • Free • 21+ • Baby Bar • 827 W. First • 847-1234

n a semicircle on stage, four Southern singersongwriters sit perched on stools, acoustic guitars in hand. The Southern Soul Assembly Tour features Americana artists JJ Grey, Marc Broussard, Luther Dickinson and Anders Osborne sharing their hearts and souls through acoustic music and storytelling. Their sets are informal, full of jokes, tangents and transcendent musical moments (watch out especially for the sad group ditty “I’ve Got A Woman”). Their West Coast tour kicks off in Sandpoint this Tuesday with a show that will likely feel as if they set up in your living room for the night.

ree-flying husband-and-wife duo JT Nero and Allison Russell are migrating creatures. They’ve toured at least 10 out of 12 months over the past four years, most recently with a newborn in tow. Their vocals have Americana elements, while rock ‘n’ roll and soul flair fills their instrumentation. Poetic lyrics give the two a singer-songwriter likeness, but they’re way more than just love songs and introspection.

CLASSICAL ALL THAT JAZZ

Effortlessly smooth and soulful Cuban jazz trumpeter, pianist and composer Arturo Sandoval — winner of 10 Grammy awards, with 19 total nominations — plays as a guest alongside the 18-piece Whitworth University Jazz Ensemble. As a group known for their improvisation and swing style, the ensemble welcomes Sandoval to add an Afro-Cuban element to its sound. Sandoval infuses Latin American dance lines with the focus of a seasoned virtuoso. Whitworth continues to celebrate its 125th year with pizzazz and swing, offering an evening of fun and talented musicianship.

— MOLLY SMITH Whitworth Jazz Concert feat. Arturo Sandoval • Fri, Nov. 7, at 8 pm • $15-$20 • Whitworth Cowles Auditorium • 300 W. Hawthorne • whitworth.edu/musictickets • 777-3280

CLASSICAL FROM NYC TO PULLMAN

SEASONAL ICY BREWS & HOT DEALS

Washington Idaho Symphony • Sat, Nov. 8, at 7:30 pm • Jones Theatre in Daggy Hall at WSU, Pullman (also Nov. 9 in Clarkston, Wash.) • $10-$25 • washingtonidahosymphony.org • 332-3408

Snowlander Expo & PowderKeg Brew Fest • Fri, Nov. 7, from 4-9 pm; Sat, Nov. 8, from 10 am-8 pm • $7/weekend admission (allages); $15-$25/tasting packages • Spokane Convention Center • 334 W. Spokane Falls Blvd. • snowlanderexpo.com

The first piano concerto in most composers’ repertoire is not their most innovative — they want to play it safe. But as Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor is in the hands of pianist Inon Barnatan at Saturday’s Washington Idaho Symphony concert, the piece is certain to receive a coat of new glamour. Barnatan, the New York Philharmonic’s first Artist-in-Association, is known for his unfailing sensitivity on the piano, perfect for the nuances of Chopin’s work.

Also on the regional orchestra’s concert program are works by Rossini and Dvorak.

— LAURA JOHNSON

Forgive us while we toot our own horn about this weekend’s Snowlander Expo and PowderKeg Brew Fest. New this year is a rail jam in the Convention Center breezeway — with snow trucked in just for the event. PowderKeg is also bigger and better, with 17 breweries and four cideries featured for your taste buds’ pleasure.

Again, the event hosts screenings of Teton Gravity Research’s new films, lift ticket giveaways and sale prices from regional winter sports vendors.

— CHEY SCOTT

THEATER STAGE SHORTS

If you haven’t been to a show at Stage Left, one of the local theater scene’s newer additions, the 8th annual Hit & Run short play fest is an ideal sampler.

The festival features 11 plays written by playwrights from across the U.S., including five from the Spokane area: Ron Ford, Paul Ruch, Sandra Hosking, Josh Watkins and Mike Noel. Seven local directors lead 34 actors in the lineup of all comedies. One takes a humorous look at Jekyll and Hyde, and another follows the laborious decision between a couple deciding whether to update their Facebook relationship status. It’s a small space and these shows usually sell out, so advanced purchase is recommended.

— CHEY SCOTT Hit & Run VIII • Fri, Nov. 7 and Sat, Nov. 8 at 7:30 pm • $10 • Stage Left Theater • 108 W. Third • spokanestageleft.org • 838-9727

FOOD TRY EVERYTHING

If there’s a food or drink item you’ve wanted to try, there’s a good chance you can sample it this weekend at the Spokane Convention Center. Northwest Taste brings together a collection of the region’s restaurants, wineries and breweries, food vendors and chefs for two days of culinary appreciation and education. In addition to tasting your way through ample food samples, you can take in talks from local and regional chefs who’ll give you some holiday cooking tips while they work their magic.

— MIKE BOOKEY Northwest Taste • Sat, Nov. 8, from 10 am-6 pm and Sun, Nov. 9, from 10 am-5 pm • $10 • Spokane Convention Center • 334 W. Spokane Falls Blvd.

RELATIONSHIPS

Advice Goddess SCOLD RUSH

AMY ALKON

I try to be direct, but my girlfriend often sees this as meanness. For example, when we’re out to dinner, she sometimes takes forever to order when the server is standing right there. I’ll call her out on this — tell her she was rude to keep the guy waiting. Personally, I think it’s unhealthy in the long run to keep quiet about issues, but my girlfriend gets upset whenever I give her constructive criticism. How can I convince her that she’s being too sensitive?

—Honest

There are times when directness is best. Like if you’re an air traffic controller.

What’s important is not that you make the pilot feel supported in his life goals but that he brings the plane to a stop on the runway instead of in some lady’s pool.

But, in many non-emergency situations, being direct — like bluntly criticizing someone — is about as effective as throwing somebody a fruit basket instead of a life preserver when they’re drowning. The problem, as I explain in “Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck,” is that “criticizing people doesn’t make them change; it makes them want to clobber you.” Because of a lack of software updates to our body’s ancient fight-or-flight system, we respond to a verbal attack with the same supercharged biochemical ammo we would if we were attacked by some sharp-fanged thing looking to turn our left eyeball into an after-dinner mint.

You are right, by the way; your restaurant table shouldn’t start to seem like a bus stop for the waitstaff because your girlfriend’s applying Bayes’ theorem to whether she’d prefer the chicken to the pasta. But is your ultimate goal hammering her with how right you are or having a relationship? If it’s a relationship you’re after, you need to keep her fight-or-flight defensiveness from whirring into action by transforming accusations (like “You’re rude!”) into information (like reasons the term “waiting” shouldn’t be taken literally). For example, you could say, “Hey, I know you love good food and don’t want to make a bad choice at dinner. But I was thinking that when the server waits for a while at our table, he may feel we don’t respect his time, and other customers may feel neglected and leave him a crappy tip.”

By asking her to sympathize with the waiter instead of telling her what a jerk she’s been, you help her stay cool enough in the head to consider potential solutions — like doing a little online menu recon before hitting the restaurant. If you both start sending criticisms up for processing to the kindness and tact department, you could get in the habit of “accepting influence” from each other — listening to each other and becoming better individually and together — a practice marriage researcher John Gottman sees in the happiest, most stable relationships. Think of this as living the dream — the one where your relationship is a safe place to expose the real you (as opposed to that dream where you’re back in 10th grade standing naked in front of the school assembly just as your mom starts reading your diary over the PA).

ZERO DARK FLIRTY

A female “friend” of my boyfriend’s is always leaving flirty comments on his Facebook page, and it’s making me upset and worried. He doesn’t really respond, but because he’s a guy with a girlfriend, it seems that the considerate thing for him to do would be to tell her to cool it. How can I bring this up to him in a sane way?

—Disturbed Guys also say “Hello, beautiful!” to the 200-year-old grocery store cashier, and probably not because they’re angling for her to send a selfie of how she looks without her compression hose. What keeps a guy from being all “Let’s blow this timeline item and go to a motel” is whether he’s ethical and into the relationship he has. If that doesn’t describe your boyfriend, why are you still with him?

If it does, instead of saying, “Hey! People are socializing with you on a website designed for socializing!” let on that you’re feeling a little worried, like by gently remarking, “That friend of yours sure is flirty” (or whatever it takes to get your worry across). Rather than trying to control him, which leads a person to rebel, you’re asking for reassurance, which should lead him to put his arms around you and explain why you have nothing to worry about. This, in turn, should get the two of you back to using Facebook as it was intended — as a place to bring people together to view videos of cats and police brutality. n ©2014, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. • Got a problem?

While the process behind what actually TIP OF THE WEEK causes cancer to develop is extremely involved and not totally understood yet, it’s better to be safe than sorry. If your daily eating habits include a substantial amount of greens, you’ll be eating less of those foods that may increase the risk of cancer. Also, eating fruit can help prevent cardiovascular disease. (Berkeley Wellness)

Love At First Stop Light It was about 10:00 pm this last Friday, and we were the only two cars at the stop light. I casually looked over and to my surprise you were already looking my direction. You had dark hair, dark eyes, music blasting the same station as me (Rock 94.5), and I was entranced.

We exchanged multiple glances during that minute at the stoplight and a few half smiles.It was both beautiful and sad, knowing I would probably never see you again.

Anyway, I hope your life was made better, as mine was, from our little stoplight romance. Farewell handsome man.

was dressed in my Halloween costume while working. I walked into the restaurant you were just about to leave when you saw me and made a comment about who I was. You then walked up to me and said that it was your birthday and asked if you could get a picture with me. So we got our picture taken and then you said thank you and left. I wanted to ask you if you were single and might want to grab a drink but I got interrupted by the hostess and didn’t get to ask. Now I write this in hopes of finding you again. Email me at Halloweenmeet@hotmail. com And tell me who or what I was dressed as.

like to help you. Please people, do not answer this is you are not that person. Help me find you. I live close to Spirit Lake, ID and don’t know Spokane very well. If I don’t respond to you, it would be because I didn’t get the Inlander paper, please do it again.

People May Be Animals but few in the zoo are as nice as you.

Thank you for the coffee. It was unexpected, but well received and made my day brighter. I tip my cup to you. Cheers! I would also like to take a moment to thank Shawn Corey Carter for putting my troubles into perspective by sharing a few concise anecdotes of the very finite number of problems he has. I understand that he wasn’t speaking directly to me, as I am not having marital trouble that would encourage fatherly sympathy, and may likely never read this. However, his words have inspired me. Now if you will excuse me I need to get that dirt off my shoulders, or perhaps I’ll just change clothes and go.

A Fun Game I see you a few times a week at the YMCA in the early evenings. You are tall and have dark hair, probably somewhere in your mid-late 20’s. You are friendly and we occasionally say hi to each other, but I also have no shame admiring from you afar....talk about motivation! I think if you saw this you would know exactly who I was. Maybe some day our random “hello’s” at the gym will turn into something more. A girl can dream Beautiful Girl At Famous Eds I saw you at Famous Eds on October 17th around 3 pm. You drank tequila and club soda and were sitting in the second booth from the door. You were sitting with a very handsome man. I was wearing a black t-shirt that was v neck and I felt like we had a connection. If you want to chat and see where it goes ill be at Famous Eds November 14th 2:30 pm Please Forgive I was on my way to the McDonalds and you were shivering beside the Church on the corner of third and Howard and you asked if I had any extra money as you were shivering and in need and I said no, then went on to buy myself food for my overweighted self. Please forgive me. The next time I will do what I can. I cannot get those eyes that were seeking something warm to eat or drink, even if it was alcohol, I feel terrible.

Please forgive my greedy self.

Big Sister JESSE ROSE, since we were little I know how much you love to read the Jeers, Cheers and I Saw You’s. This one is for you big sister! Remember when we were young and we would sit on your bed for hours playing go fish and gambling mom and dads pocket change away? Or when I found that stray kitten and tried hiding it from mom and dad in the trailor and you ratted me out? How about riding in sleeping bags down the stairs?

Can we please plan a sister date night asap because iImisssssss you so much! Thanks for always being there for me. I love you soooo much! Love always, your little sis kels My Love! Cheers to you kitten for all you do every day to make our life together so wonderful. Since you entered my life, my heart is full of love for you, for life and believe it or not for every tomorrow I so eagerly await to spend with you.

Never have I, in my entire 46 years, ever been so totally convinced that I have finally found who I am suppose to be with. You finish my sentences, and more often than not one of us begins something right about the same time the other one thinks about it. It’s uncanny how much we just complete one another. Your kisses consume my nights. Your eyes my dreams.

Lastly, Tina, my love, in case you still have any doubt how much I love you, then consider that if I had to ever choose between breathing or loving you, well that would be no choice whatsoever. I would simply spend my very last breath telling you how very much I love you. I am, kitten, now and forever yours.

Gregory A Great Friend Cheers to my good friend, Jennifer. She’s been my beautician for more than 20 years.

She’s helped me through personal problems. She’s always in a good mood and has the personality a beautician needs. She has her problems, just like we all do, but you’d never know it. She’s always there for her patrons. You always feel better when you leave than when you arrive. Her patrons have been with her for years and love her to death. I just wanted her to know that I love and appreciate her.

She is like a sister to me.

Anonymous Benefactor On Sunday morning at Maggie’s Restaurant my granddaughter and I were finishing our breakfast when I asked the server for our check. He told me a customer paid for our meal and he was not allowed to tell us who he was. I want to thank our benefactor for his generosity and kindness.

What a warm-hearted surprise.

RE: Try Something Else, Idaho!

CHEERS to the brilliant political satirist who wrote the “Try Something Else, Idaho” Jeers in the October 23-29 Inlander. In a letter worthy of Stephen Colbert or even Jonathan Swift, the writer pretended to be a right-wing ideologue. Using every selfrighteous, mean-spirited, namecalling conservative cliché, the writer did a marvelous send-up of ideological excess. I took it all at face value until the end, when the tongue-in-cheek line “Thank God for Fox News” gave the joke away.

I haven’t seen such great political parody in years and have been chuckling ever since. Cheers to the writer for sheer cleverness.

I Don’t Get It Please help me understand something, Why do you females put up with losers they live with or married to? They work hard and the loser sits home on their ass doing nothing, they are not even good looking. Why, please tell me when there are good men out there who would want to be an actual partner.

of us who work hard for our money, while the majority of the wealthy gain more wealth off the sweat of our backs. (I said the majority there are some wealthy individuals that still work hard for their money, it wasn’t given to them by daddy or mommy). When will you wake up and smell the roses.

This country needs a total revamp of our leader, they need people in the government with morals, standards, and especially common sense. Not something that you learn in books in college. It’s inside us telling us what’s right and wrong and then following thru with what’s right rather than what’s going to get votes and popularity. So go vote and see what good it does.

Watch this country deteriorate with every new politician you vote for, then you can have something to complain about during their term in office.

in my day, but it’s more than just a tree. Where/what is our priority Spokane!!!? At this point, I can’t see it. If you’re reading this, and perhaps it moves you ..even in the smallest flicker of light, please reach out to someone you might know who can help. I feel like a helpless messenger.

Pumpkin Smashers I’m 25 and have no kids with whom I celebrate Halloween, but it saddens me that every year fewer and fewer people decorate and pass out candy. Every year I put out my decorations and carve a couple pumpkins and do my part to make sure kids can still enjoy Halloween like I did when I was little. Last year and again this year, some asshole smashed the pumpkins in my yard. I have no one angry at me, I don’t have a good relationship with my neighbor but I honestly think this is a random case of someone being mean. Last year an expensive weed eater was also stolen from my backyard the night before Halloween. My fault, it should have been locked up, but it was in my gated yard in my screened porch. Live and learn unfortunately I will no longer be “doing my part” to continue a much loved holiday tradition. Kids will just have to go to churches and grocery stores to trick or treat.

Dogs Barking Now I know why you sleep with your TV on - to drown out the desperate whelping of your dog. Five hours straight now. Ever heard of a muzzle? No bark collar? Training? The rest of your neighbors deserve some sleep every now and then.

Why Vote? What good does it do to vote? 95% of our politicians are criminals, liars, cheats. All they truly care about is their constituents, the people who put money into their campaigns to get them elected or reelected, and lining their pockets with our money. Anyone who votes and thinks it will make a difference is ignorant and possibly blind. Every election year it gets worse and worse. Well it does for the majority

Cement Nation To My Dearest Spokane Community, to the Inlander..please help. I am going to come off harsh, but who are the a$$holes who decided to chop down a 100 year old Maple tree on the corner of 7th and Monroe for “2015 Spring 7th & Monroe Street Project?” This information was recently divulged to me from my neighbor. We live on that street. That’s our shade, that’s an animals home, that’s producing oxygen, that’s a life. I realize that our “cement nation” must accommodate our hustle of daily routine, but does it really need to be taken this far? Has anyone seen the progress of Monroe? Yes! I see that the sidewalks are wider in hopes to fuel our bike friendly community...I am a biker myself... but in actuality, all they did with these sidewalks is fill the extra space with some bark and flowers!

Great! Aesthetically pleasing. So you’re telling me you’re going to cut down a beautiful tree which serves many important purposes to replace it with some wood chips and some annuals flowers that won’t grow back? This is complete bull$hit. I don’t know who to reach out to. I don’t know how to save this tree except tie myself to it when Spring comes next year. I don’t have conections, except this column. I myself have been known to give a tree hug

Thieves To the people or person who found it necessary to get in my backyard and go inside our greenhouse, only to realize there was nothing in there you would want, (not the first time), at least shut the door behind you so the peppers don’t die, I know who you are!! I saw you on camera, you’re lucky the dog wasn’t outside. if I ever catch you in the back yard ........... but you probably won’t read this ‘cause it won’t get you high.

The Real Woman It’s important to take a good hard look at what this person is as a human being.

I start by mentally taking away all the make up- mascara, lipstick, foundation, and concealer. I then take away her hair curler/blow dryer, combs, brushes, shampoo/ conditioner, and myriad of other products she dumps onto her scalp.

Then I remove her heals that make her taller, the dye that makes her hair a different color, and all the jewelry and trinkets she’s using to draw attention to herself. I then mentally release her into the wilderness butt-naked, and then visualize what she looks like three months later. That’s a human being in its purest form. Imagine this girl now - this solid 7 or 8 to begin with is now an animal. Her hair looks like sh#@ and her breath could start a brush fire. That’s what you’re getting guys, if everything ever turns to sh#@ in our modern world.

I break this person down for one reason. If all that was left of her was just her personality and who she was as a person - would I go to bat for this individual? Would I protect and do everything in my power to see her survive? If you took away all of her tricks for her appearance would she be worth it? If this is a modern American woman, then the answer always has been, and always will be - hell no.

Men Are Dogs The guys in Spokane are dogs. The last one I had is the worst, we were together off and on for seven years. Everytime he saw a girl or woman we fought and broke up. This guy got so into meth he threw me out the door again.

His dealer is a woman, of course he says he loves her like all the other women. You’re a down low life dog, grow up you’re almost 60 yrs. old.

She won’t love you like I did.

’d imagined how the call would go, more and more often as the years passed. It shouldn’t have been a total surprise, but I still wasn’t prepared when my cell buzzed that Monday afternoon.

She was right. Twenty years after a heart attack, and five years after a bypass, my mom and nephew found him unconscious and called 911. My sister rushed home to meet them. He never woke up.

That was a year ago this past Tuesday, Nov. 4.

M

y dad’s love of railroads was one of the ways we were different. I imagine it was a link to the home he left when he joined the Air Force one year out of high school. Memories of the rail country where he grew up on the New York-Pennsylvania border manifested in his collection of books, videos and model trains that filled our home. Post-Air Force and a few years in the defense industry, he coached baseball, organized church festivals, volunteered countless hours for his train club. He fixed anything wrong on his car himself, and loved working on his yard — more interests we didn’t share.

I never had much time for any train talk, save for lessons he delivered on our road trips together. As he had joined the military partly as a means to see the world beyond Waverly, New York, I got into reporting out of a similar desire to explore and learn. And every time I moved somewhere, for college or a series of jobs in newspapers large and small across the West, my dad relished helping me relocate. He loved the opportunity to see the

country through a windshield — especially if we happened to travel near a stretch of a rail line, offering him the chance to educate me on its origins, its history, how it tied in to the country’s larger rail system.

He knew train conversation would only keep me interested for so long. Thankfully, we had John Nailen served 30 plenty of common ground for years in the Air Force. conversations that could stretch for hours as we drove from Salt Lake City to Portland, or Missoula to Corvallis, Oregon.

Current events. Movies. Baseball. The important things.

He turned me on to Johnny Cash’s live albums. I introduced him to James Lee Burke’s novels via books on tape. His patience for Broadway musical soundtracks never passed to me, nor my love of Diamond Dave-era Van Halen to him.

T

he day he died, I joined my family — now “surviving family” in obituary parlance — at the hospital after successfully navigating the hour drive by telling myself the doctors would somehow revive him while I was on the way.

That didn’t happen.

The word “surreal” is thrown around haphazardly, but there’s no better way to describe the experience of having a stoic police officer lead you into a hospital room where your father’s body lies, dressed in his typical-sinceretiring uniform of a flannel shirt and jeans adorned with

a belt buckle paying homage to one of the railroad lines he adored.

Immediately, his body just getting cold, we were asked to make decisions we had never considered. What funeral home should we call? Do we want to cremate the body? What day should we have the funeral? Decisions had to be made, right now, and the man who was the best in our family at deciding things couldn’t help.

Choices hastily made through our collective numbness, we methodically pulled different bits of clothing and jewelry from his body. Wedding ring to my mother.

Shoes to my nephew who lived with “Papi.”

I took the belt with the Rio Grande Railroad buckle.

I

was just starting to contemplate moving to Spokane to join my long-distance love when he died. Even though I didn’t have a job yet, we started plotting the most scenic way to cover the hours between Utah and Eastern Washington. My mother, abruptly widowed after 54 years of marriage, insisted I keep my Spokane plan. And last month, I packed up my home of 16 years in Utah and drove.

I took the route we had discussed, the one that would reacquaint him with the Montana Rail Link tracks that parallel the Clark Fork River into Missoula. And I continued on until exiting I-90 and ducking underneath the tracks bisecting Spokane — tracks my dad would have told me all about well before we reached my new home together.

Instead, I was driving alone. But not really. I had The Man in Black’s Live at Folsom Prison. I had Burke’s Cadillac Jukebox on CD. And I had that Rio Grande belt buckle. 

ok, so my subs really aren't gourmet and we're not french either. my subs just taste a little better, that's all! I wanted to call it jimmy john's tasty sandwiches, but my mom told me to stick with gourmet.

Regardless of what she thinks, freaky fast is where it's at. I hope you love 'em as much as i do! peace!
