I don’t know where my father is from, so I don’t have that much family tree. I remember my son had to do a family tree in school, and we were having a hard time with it.

About 5 years go we started researching our family tree and learned interesting things that we didn’t know, as far back as my grandmother’s great grandmother. There’s Cherokee Indian, and we didn’t know that was something that was passed down. It’s important so that when my kids start asking questions, it will be good to show them a family tree and where they came from.

Cougar by the Tail by ted s. mcGregor jr.

t’s graduation season again, so you’re bound to see mortarboards and gowns around town in the coming days. But there’s one end-ofschool moment you should know more about. Just last week, 20 first-year medical students finished up their coursework — part of the prestigious University of Washington School of Medicine’s new program to train our future doctors outside of Seattle. And Washington State University’s Riverpoint Health Sciences Campus in downtown Spokane is where it’s happening. Here’s the kicker: Fifteen of those 20 have signed up to come back for their second year in Spokane. And since the third and fourth years of med school are devoted to patient care via clerkships, or rotations, these 15 could be the first-ever UW Medicine grads to never take a class in Seattle. Yes, our University District is off and running. Now it’s a matter of managing its success. And that task falls to Lisa Brown, the chancellor of WSU Spokane and former Washington State Senate Majority Leader. “It used to be Republicans and Democrats; now it’s Cougars and Huskies,” she quipped last week as we discussed her new post. In recent years, we’ve asked our public universities to become more entrepreneurial. The Riverpoint Campus has pushed that transition, as WSU has been challenged to not view expansion into Spokane as a threat to its Pullman roots. Meanwhile, UW has been challenged by the instant success of its Spokane spin-off; in fact, it has prompted a reevaluation of its School of Medicine’s entire curriculum. Today the Riverpoint Campus is ripe for high-tech spin-offs; WSU’s School of Pharmacy will be fully located there by fall, offering great research opportunities. And WSU Spokane is already competing for top talent from across the nation — docs who bring their research grants with them. There will be growing pains; massive buildings like the soon-to-open, 125,000-square-foot Biomedical and Health Sciences Building will be hard to come by in future state budgets. More public-private partnerships will need to emerge to feed the need for lab space — even the old Jensen-Byrd Building should find a new use on the cutting edge of medicine. Spokane needs to embrace this success more by connecting downtown to the campus — Browne and Division are like a freeway, making pedestrians less likely to cross the great divide. And the idea for a connection to Sprague Avenue just above the railroad tracks needs to be dusted off as well. So why did those brave few decide to stay for another year? At least some of them admit to having been charmed by Spokane. We built it, and now they’ve started to come — and stay. n

t first glance, Mora County, New Mexico, may seem to bear little similarity to Spokane. The county is one of the poorest in the nation and very conservative. It’s also in the middle of nowhere — a two-hour drive from the nearest city, Santa Fe. But on April 29, the county commissioners voted to become the first county in the U.S to adopt a local bill of rights that bans all oil and gas drilling within the county. With its vote, Mora County joins more than 150 municipalities across the country — including the city of Pittsburgh — in adopting a bill of rights that places the rights of the community to decide its future above “rights” claimed by corporations. Those local laws do three things: They establish a local bill of rights that recognizes enforceable rights to clean air, clean water and sustainable futures; they ban corporate activities that run afoul of those rights; and they elevate the right of the community to adopt their bill of rights over the rights and powers claimed by corporations to overturn them. In that way, Mora County and Spokane are not so different. Since 2009, a group of Spokane residents — recognizing that people within Spokane have little control over unwanted development, water pollution and their own employers — have worked to qualify and pass a local bill of rights. In its first year on the ballot, under a hailstorm of out-of-town money donated to opposition campaigns — and interference by the City Council — it received just over 25 percent of the vote. In 2011, after requalifying a shortened initiative, it came within a 500-vote swing of becoming law within the City, garner-

ing more than 49 percent support. In Mora County, adoption of the local bill of rights took three years — requiring the ousting of an incumbent pro-gas-drilling commissioner, the firing of the county manager, and the election of a new commissioner supported by the group campaigning for the local bill of rights. Along the way were threats of lawsuits, accompanied by contentions that the initiative was illegal, unconstitutional and anti-business. Nothing could be further from the truth, of course. State constitutions and the federal constitution are ostensibly anchored on our right to local self-government. Somewhere along the way, however, corporate decision-makers have been able to harness government so that it does exactly the opposite. That has to change, but the institutions that got us to this place won’t. And that’s why — just like prior people’s movements — such a change has to be forced by people declaring that they won’t to obey bad laws anymore. Continuing to obey laws that give corporations more rights than our own communities simply gives the law the illusion of being right. But the law is dead wrong, and the only way to change it is from the bottom. So while a small New Mexican county and the city of Spokane may on their face look like completely different places, they’re not. As it turns out, the people of Mora County and the people of Spokane actually have a lot more in common than one would think. n Thomas Alan Linzey is an attorney and the executive director of Envision Spokane.

Larry Cebula: Be able to pay with the NFC feature on your cell phone — and get an automatic warning when your time is about to expire, with the ability to add more time right on your phone. The smart meters could also send information to the app when they were expired (and presumably vacant). You could look at a map on the app and see where parking was probably available. Amy Downer: I also like the cell phone warning! Zachary Mark Wellsandt: I wish these were the sticker kind like Seattle has. It’s way easier than paying for specific stalls — and it means you can buy for the day and move your car and it’s still valid. The benefit is huge for people shopping around downtown. Logan Mason: By making parking free. Chere Perrigo: Parking seems to be the big issue, as a business owner downtown. I hear it all the time... “I won’t go downtown because of parking. It’s hard to find meters and expensive to park in the parkades.” So, free would help downtown businesses — but does nothing for revenue generating. Double-edged sword. Ed Crosby: Love the new meters... need more of them! No more scrounging for change! Carson Liberace: Diagonal parking. Less sidewalk, but more parking spots. Johnny Quinn: Love the credit card meters, don’t care for the sticker ones. Steve Faust: Maybe start by not having “maximize revenue” as a goal. Joel Cline: “About $1 million of new technology will enable the city to give more tickets... ” So in other words, the goal for downtown parking is actually just a scheme to siphon money from the people as efficiently as possible? n

When Popes Collide by andy borowitz

ope Emeritus Benedict’s return to the Vatican began on a sour note this week as the current Pope, Francis, reprimanded him for rolling his eyes sarcastically during meetings, observers said. The trouble started when the former Pope showed up at a meeting Francis scheduled to discuss plans for his Christmas mass, a meeting that “Benedict wasn’t even invited to,” a Vatican source said. “It was awkward,” the source said. “Francis started talking about making an appeal to the world’s poor, and then Benedict started sighing in this really loud and obnoxious way.” After about 10 minutes of suffering through Benedict’s sighing and eye-rolling, Francis “totally called him out on it,” the source said, adding, “What Benedict was doing was totally disrespectful. Plus, he is supposed to be retired, so he shouldn’t have been wearing his

Pope costume.” Reached at his apartment at the Vatican, Benedict downplayed the incident, saying he “was just trying to be helpful. “Look, Francis is insecure — I get that,” he said. “He’s new at being Pope, and it’s not surprising that he’s making so many mistakes. Once he checks his ego at the door, I think he’ll thank his lucky stars that old Benedict is around to back him up.” Sources said that Benedict ignited tensions upon his return to Vatican City earlier this week when he posted a sign outside his residence reading “Home of the Original Pope.” n For more fake news from Andy Borowitz, visit borowitzreport.com.

Expensive Rewrite by jim hightower

ig doings in Big D — the George W. Bush Presidential Library, Museum & Institute has opened with elaborate fanfare! And what a piece of work it is: a $250 million, 226,000-squarefoot edifice on 15 acres. Never has something so large been built to contain something so small, namely the thoughts and record of achievements by this two-term president. His brick-and-limestone structure is certainly imposing, but once inside, you quickly see that it’s a $250 million can of whitewash. Of course, all ex-presidents want libraries that show their good side, and Bush himself was organizer-in-chief of this monumental altar to… well, to himself. What’s most striking is not what’s in it, but what’s not. For example, where’s that “Mission Accomplished” banner that he used as a political prop in May 2003, when he strutted out so fatuously on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln wearing a flight suit to pretend like he had won the Iraq war? And how about a video loop of him finally showing up in New Orleans

after Hurricane Katrina, cluelessly praising his infamously incompetent emergency management honcho? Also, while there are 35 featured videos, a replica of W’s oval office, narrated presentations by top Bush officials, and even statues of the family dogs — where’s Dick Cheney? Shouldn’t there be an animated exhibit of “The Vice” in his dark chamber, scheming to shred our Constitution and set up an imperial presidency? Another essential element of George’s tenure that goes unportrayed here could be called, “The Dead Garden of Compassionate Conservatism.” Wouldn’t that have made an informative walk-through for schoolchildren? Why spend $250 million when they could’ve said it all with a $25-a-gallon can of whitewash? n For more from America’s populist, check out jimhightower.com.

A Deadly Lesson

The death of an inmate work-crew member last October has resulted in new statewide safety protocols and a $25,100 fine BY JACOB JONES

hen 22-year-old Danny Bergeson set out into the woods of Stevens County on an inmate tree-trimming crew last fall, reports say he had been cautioned against the dangers of passing traffic, potential hunters and other nearby hazards. But when a tree he was cutting down fell into overhead power lines on Oct. 15, Bergeson suffered a fatal shock, becoming the first Washington state inmate killed on a prison work crew. Workplace safety investigators now say Bergeson was not properly supervised, trained or warned about

the high-voltage power lines. His death has resulted in a recently issued $25,100 citation for multiple safety violations and a statewide re-evaluation of how inmate crews take on dangerous jobs. Considered a helpful and minimal-risk inmate at the Airway Heights Corrections Center, Bergeson joined a Department of Natural Resources work crew in August of last year to stay busy and earn some extra money. The department manages about 30 inmate crews across the state for forest maintenance and wildfire fighting work, providing a DNR crew leader to oversee each team.

Elaine Fischer, a spokeswoman with the state Department of Labor & Industries, says investigators recently cited DNR for five separate safety violations leading up to Bergeson’s death. L&I investigators found incomplete training on chainsaws, improper advisories on safety hazards and insufficient supervision. “[The DNR crew leader] did not identify hazards … where employees were assigned to fall trees near electrical hazards,” the newly released citation states. “This exposed the employees to potential electrocution from trees hitting or becoming entangled into 115 [kilovolt] power lines that were within falling distance of the trees being felled.”

oren Torgerson, the DNR’s Northeast Regional Manager, says the department’s inmate work program was temporarily suspended statewide last fall while officials reviewed all safety protocols for potentially dangerous jobs. “What we did was a stand-down of the program,” he says. The department evaluated each specific job that ...continued on next page

NEWS | PRISONS “a deadly lesson,” continued... could be assigned to an inmate work crew and rated them from low to medium to high risk, Torgerson says. Each job now comes with a risk assessment sheet that outlines potential hazards and rules for avoiding accidents. Crews returned to work within a few weeks, but any high-risk jobs now require extra safety discussions before crews start their work. Torgerson says crew leaders must go through each potential job hazard before starting a new project. DNR officials say inmate crew members have always undergone several days of training on equipment safety and environmental risks. While Bergeson had previously served on DNR work crews, L&I investigators report many crew members had not finished their proficiency tests and quizzes for chainsaw usage and tree trimming. “By not providing the entire training prior to allowing employees to operate chainsaws and fell trees,” the L&I citation states, “the employees were exposed to hazards likely to result in serious injury or death from unsafe cutting techniques and improper chainsaw operation.” When trimming trees, the new safety rules require crews to stay at least two tree lengths away from power lines based on the tallest tree in the area, Torgerson says. Crew leaders must identify any power lines and mark the boundaries with flags before work starts. Torgerson notes the DNR crew leader on duty during Bergeson’s death was not disciplined as a result of the incident, but has since left the department “on his own accord.”

Officials with the Department of Corrections say they are aware of the new policies introduced for DNR work crews, but have not changed any prison policies as a result of the incident.

ergeson, who was serving a 20-month sentence for leading a state trooper on a short vehicle pursuit in 2010, was scheduled for release this past January. His father Bob, of Mount Vernon, Wash., said in October that he had serious concerns about how the inmate crews were supervised and managed, arguing someone should have been looking out for his son. Bob Bergeson could not be reached for comment on the resulting investigation and citation. L&I spokeswoman Fischer says the DNR’s Northeast Region has one previous safety citation for a reckless driving incident in 2005, but no other inmate work crew-related violations in recent years. Torgerson says DNR would pay the $25,100 fine out of its Corrections Camps program, which funds state trust land projects. “The department is not going to appeal the citation,” he says. n jacobj@inlander.com

Burn Notice As drier weather arrives, forest officials share fire prevention tips for Wildfire Awareness Week BY JACOB JONES

ith at least 10 newly sparked forest fires underscoring this year’s Wildfire Awareness Week, Washington state fire officials encourage homeowners to take precautions against fire hazards as the weather turns hotter and drier for the start of fire season. The Department of Natural Resources, which coordinates fire suppression statewide, reports approximately 300,000 acres With the warmer weather comes fire danger. of forest land burned across Washington in 2012. Wildfire Awareness Week, running May 6-11, highlights fire education and prevention efforts throughout the Northwest. Regional DNR spokesman Guy Gifford recently visited a heavily wooded park area along High Drive Bluff in Spokane, pointing out where DNR crews had cleared out thick brush to remove low-lying fire fuels and minimize potential fire hazards. Send comments to Some simple thinning can go a long way editor@inlander.com. to limiting the intensity and spread of forest fires, Gifford says. The recently thinned area along High Drive Bluff should see decreased risk of fire, healthier trees and improved accessibility. “Homeowners can do this same type of work with the same type of benefits,” he says, offering several guidelines:

letters

u Thin trees to keep branches about 5 feet apart. Fire moves quickly through dense forest, spreading from tree to tree. Gifford says clearing out thick stands of brush helps slow the spread of fires. He suggests trimming back trees to keep branches about five feet apart, wide enough to walk between with arms outstretched. “You don’t have to clear cut,” he says, but opening up the area will help contain fires and improve firefighter access to the property. Gifford says reducing the number and close proximity of trees also improves the water retention and health of the remaining trees, allowing them to grow larger and more resistant to disease. u Establish a 30-foot fire buffer. If someone walked around your home flicking matches, would you be worried? Gifford says wildfire embers can travel long distances to settle in paper recycling, wood piles or other combustibles stored near homes. Homeowners can create a buffer zone by pruning or removing trees close to the house, and keeping green grass around the home. Residents in high-risk rural areas may consider installing fire-resistant roofing tiles. u Collaborate with neighbors. Proactive residents can ban together to form “Firewise Communities,” partnering on forest management, evacuation plans and other emergency response strategies. Information on forming a group can be found at www. firewise.org. The DNR and local fire departments also offer free consultations for homeowners looking to thin trees or reduce fire hazards around their home. DNR, which has programs to help pay for tree-trimming costs, can be reached at (509) 684-7474. n

Hard Data New figures on homeless in Spokane; plus, the latest in Spokane tribe’s bid to build a casino One-Day Count

The number of HOMELESS IN SPOKANE is down from the past two years, according to figures from a oneday count in January, but explanations as to why vary. In a press release, the city championed new housing projects, a new regional program trying to get homeless families services faster and Mayor Condon’s consolidation of the Community Development and Human Services departments. Others say the number of people who filled out the surveys when the count was taken may be down, but the actual homeless population isn’t. During this year’s count, 1,030 people identified as homeless, down 13 percent from last year and 19 percent from 2011. According to the surveys, most of those people slept in emergency shelter or transitional housing the night before. Just 60 people said they slept on the street. During the city’s heightened enforcement of its camping ban in December and early January, service providers estimated there were as many as 50 people in the camp under I-90 alone. “We know the numbers were lower than what reflects the actual homeless population,” says Kristine Williams with the city’s Community, Housing and Human Services. She says people may have been more

reluctant to fill out the questionnaires this year, but wouldn’t speculate about why. The city uses the data to help determine priorities and which projects to fund, and Williams says it’s not yet clear if lower numbers could result in funding changes. — HEIDI GROOVER

WASHINGTON COMES IN THIRD

Washington has the third lowest WORKPLACE FATALITY RATE in the country, according to a new AFLCIO report, with 1.9 deaths a year per 100,000 workers, compared to 3.5 nationally. Examining data from the U.S. Bureau of Census Statistics, the report, titled “Death on the Job: The Toll of Neglect,” found that 60 Washington workers died from occupational injuries in 2011. Almost half of the state’s workplace deaths were transportation incidents. Twenty percent of workers killed were foreign-born. Despite high marks in workplace safety, Washington is among the majority of states with insufficient Occupational Safety and Health Administration inspection staff. The report states that Washington has less than half of the number of state OSHA inspectors recommended by

the International Labor Organization. In the last fiscal year, the state paid $745 in penalties for workplace violations, roughly $860 less than the national average. “Our trend has been pretty decent in the state and that’s good, but we shouldn’t fool ourselves,” says Jeff Johnson, president of the Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO. “We actually had 66 [workplace deaths] last year. ... We got a long way to go.” In 2011, North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana led the country in workplace deaths with fatality rates of 12.4, 11.6 and 11.2, respectively. AFL-CIO estimates occupational injuries and illnesses cost the nation up to $300 billion a year. — DEANNA PAN

Clearance for Take-Off?

To great fanfare last Thursday, the Spokane tribe released another report on their proposed HOTEL AND CASINO in Airway Heights. It comes to an identical conclusion as the Environmental Impact Statement from the Bureau of Indian Affairs: Fairchild Air Force Base would not be imperiled by the project. In this case, the tribe paid Madison Government Affairs, Inc. — a firm specializing in military-base issues — to examine the evidence. “This should put to bed any question about encroachment,” City Council President Ben Stuckart says. Opponents of the project, like Rich Hadley, president of Greater Spokane Inc., don’t buy it. “You can buy any analysis you want,” Hadley says. Representatives from Fairchild have not yet commented on the new report. Last September, the Air Force objected to a proposed wind farm near Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina — but hasn’t been as explicit in its concerns about the Spokane tribe’s casino. — DANIEL WALTERS

Party Planner Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers discusses whether the Republican Party needs major repairs or just a fresh coat of paint By Daniel Walters

ant to measure the pulse of Republican Party leaders? Talk to Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Last year, McMorris Rodgers became the fourth-ranking house Republican, tasked with communicating the party’s message to voters. Those party leaders, however, face some big challenges, including recent electoral defeat, rejection from female and minority voters, and internal defiance from conservatives like Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador. McMorris Rodgers sat down last Thursday with The Inlander for a wide-ranging discussion on the Republicans’ agenda and sales pitch. INLANDER: If you had the power to pass or repeal any one law in Congress, what would it be? McMORRIS RODGERS: It would be to pass a balanced budget amendment. I believe it’s important, no matter which [party] is in power, that the federal government is living within its means. The only way I see that happening is for there to be a law that forces Congress to make tough decisions. Obama has said he’s willing to cut spending. Are House Republicans willing to compromise by raising revenue? On Jan. 1,, President Obama got $600 billion in revenue.

That was something House Republicans fought against. But it ultimately passed. And it was a missed opportunity for us to get a more comprehensive approach to reducing deficits and cutting spending.

Where would you like to see spending cut? One in my mind would be repealing some of the president’s health care law. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor recently tried to pass a bill to shift money into “high-risk pools” to help those with pre-existing conditions get insurance. But that bill was pulled after opposition from conservatives like Idaho’s Raul Labrador. Did you agree more with Labrador or Cantor? I was in favor of the legislation. I still believe we’ll be able to get the votes. We had a number of members out of town for the George W. Bush Library dedication. We need to make sure that those [with] pre-existing conditions can get health insurance. Some question how Republicans can pass their own health care reforms if they can’t even get their own party to agree. Well, we’ll get there. I think the timing was unfortunate, in that so many members were out of town. There’s a big debate on where to go from here. There are those who want to continue to focus on repeal. There are those who are advocating for a delay. Then there are those that think we should start taking some steps to at least fix [what can we agree on.] You were a part of Mitt Romney’s campaign. Why wasn’t he successful? There’s a long list of things that went wrong in that campaign. But there are some important lessons for the Republicans to learn. Part of it is the importance of connecting with voters, in helping people to understand who we are as Republicans. And talking, not just from the head — uttering facts and figures — but speaking from the heart.

SUNDAY, MAY 12TH All moms get a round of golf and brunch at Twisted Earth Grill. $65

So is it just rhetoric and marketing? Or do Republican policies need to be changed? I think it’s both. I don’t believe we need to be moderate. But I do believe we need to modernize. We need to look at our agenda, to make sure it’s one in which people can see clearly how it impacts people, their families and their opportunities. I think it is important that we are focusing on solutions, and not just talking about what we are against, but what we are for. I’m involved in an anti-poverty initiative, for example, addressing the most vulnerable and needy in this country. You’ve attempted to rebut the idea that the GOP is waging a “War on Women.” Send comments to How can Republicans fix that perception? editor@inlander.com. It’s mostly how we talk about issues. You look at 2010, and we won the women’s vote. Women are concerned with financial security, they’re concerned about how they’re going to make ends meet, and how they’re going to pay the bills. We’re working on some legislation right now, the Working Families Flexibility Act. This is for hourly employees, so that if they work overtime they can take it in time off, rather than just in compensation. It’s flexibility over your work schedule.

How We Got Here

The search for family is getting easier. But you may not always find what you want

by Lisa Waananen

arl S. Frost, known as Jack, died on Sept. 10, 1943, in the Spokane County Courthouse. He was leaving the Auditor’s Office for home after a long day, like many long days before, when a heart attack caught him in the stairwell. He’d been born a Texan, 47 years earlier, in a railroad boom town along the Red River. His mother died the day after his third birthday, and not a decade later his father was crushed between rail cars. So he was raised by his grandmother in a house of young uncles. The first World War carried him to Alaska of all places, and to Spokane, where he met Miss Ruth Parrish and married her three months before Armistice. He worked his way through night school to become an accountant, and they raised four children on the north side of the growing Lilac City. His death made front-page news in the Spokesman-Review, beneath headlines about Hitler and the Allied forces, and it was noted that he was “not only popular but an important figure in county affairs for the last 20 years.” It was also noted he left behind two daughters still living at home, the youngest of whom was my grandmother.

For a nation that takes pride in its self-made men, its immigrant dreams, its fresh starts and forward progress, we are fixated on delving into the past. And through the marvels of modern technology, it has never been easier to browse family history from the comfort of your couch. Enthusiasts like to say that genealogy is the fastest-growing hobby in the United States. (Or second-fastest, in some versions.1) It’s also said, with a wink, that there’s only one thing searched more frequently on the web. Tracking down family history used to mean typing out letters and sending them around the country, in hopes that some person or some municipality might have an answer. It meant traveling to courthouses in distant counties and walking through old family cemeteries. After years of searching and social networking the old-fashioned way, genealogists were quick to realize the World Wide Web would change everything. These early-adopters congregated on rudimentary message

1. Dick Eastman, the founder of the popular Online Genealogy Newsletter, wrote about the “second-fastest growing” claim and asked readers if anyone knew where it originated. I wrote to him asking whether he ever found a satisfying answer, and he says no: “I have read and heard lots of claims, but none of them (since the mid 1990s) could ever be traced back to an unbiased and statistically correct source.” 2. A 1999 cover story in TIME called these new methods “cyberrooting.”

boards, swapping facts and AOL email addresses.2 Now amateurs browse through millions of scanned documents, upload family photos and collaborate on shared family trees. Thousands of servers hum around the clock so we can stare, bleary-eyed, as great-great-grandmother’s birth certificate appears on the screen. Of the thousands of sites devoted to family history, none rival the size or influence of Ancestry.com. What started as a website launched in 1996 by a small publishing company is now an empire of family history sites boasting a collection of 11 billion records, 2.5 million subscribers and 40 million searches every day. Ancestry.com considers itself a technology company focused on family history, Vice President of Development Eric Zimmerman says, and its job boards are filled with positions that didn’t exist a generation ago: database managers, software engineers, UX designers, archival digitization specialists. The next frontier moves the search from old records to the science lab with affordable DNA testing, available from Ancestry.com for just $99. “This is a really exciting time in genealogy,” Zimmerman says. The number of people investigating their own histories has increased with the ease, but the reasons have not changed: Some people chase romantic notions of castles in Scotland or rumored ties to celebrities. Some are curious about the family stories they’ve heard over and over; others about the ones never told. For the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints — a longtime leader in family history research — it’s driven by the belief that our ancestors are bonded to us forever and want us to find them.3 But the most immediate reason, the one that comes up more than any other, is a death in the family. Maybe a box of documents was found, or an album of photos. A question remains, and there is no one to ask.

At Eastern Washington Genealogical Society’s spring seminar, guest speaker Mike McKinnon is speaking to a full conference room about tips for better Google searching. The audience could be mistaken for a reunion of retired teachers, and they take notes on legal pads and ...continued on next page 3. The Mormon church funds one of the most popular websites, FamilySearch, which draws from the vast collection of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. More than 4,000 Family History Centers are open to the public worldwide, typically in stake centers, for free access to all the major genealogy sites and other materials. It’s not a trap; they won’t send missionaries to your house uninvited. The FamilySearch site puts it this way: “Our commitment to helping people connect with their ancestors is rooted in our beliefs — that families are meant to be central to our lives and that family relationships are intended to continue beyond this life.”

Oh my goodness. A wave of gasps and murmurs fills the room. Most of the society members were born long before computers became part of our everyday life — some can find themselves on the 1940 census, released last year — but much of what the society does now is directly related to digital: Classes are held in the library’s computer lab every month, small groups are based on preferred family tree software and presentations take on topics like adjusting to life without Google Reader. The society’s blog just got named one of Family Tree Magazine’s Top 40 Genealogy Blogs of 2013. But they’ve been doing this a long time, and they know the Internet doesn’t have all the answers. Not yet, probably not ever. Up on the third floor of the downtown library, the family history shelves hold thousands of volumes — city directories, land records, surname histories, multi-volume indexes — that belong to the society but have been housed at the library for decades. The society has accumulated some 5,600 items since it was founded in 1935, and some of the oldest books reflect the roots of early members who donated their personal collections. Near the books, the only card catalog left in the library contains the work of Lee Patchen, who started indexing the collection in 1948. For years and years, he clipped out obituaries from the local papers and pasted each one on its own card with the name, the date and the paper. By the time he died in 1970, he had made about 200,000 cards. “The Internet is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to resources,” says Miriam Robbins, who, in her 40s, is one of the younger members of the group. “There are so many things in repositories and archives that aren’t digitized or microfilmed, and never will be.” Robbins teaches seminars and classes on using the Internet as a research tool, but she first got interested in genealogy before that was an option. Her grandmother was adopted and had found the names of her biological parents in some guardianship papers. Robbins researched the names, found the mother’s living relatives and was able to reunite her grandmother with them after more than half a century. Robbins says she feels fortunate that she learned to research the old way, because now she sees two distinct groups: Older people who aren’t taking advantage of everything that’s on the web, and younger people who assume they can find everything there. “There’s this disconnect between people who’ve been doing it the old way and people who are doing it the new way — and they need each other, they really do.”

Denison was called “The Gateway to Texas” and “Katy’s Baby.” Its proud founders built an opera house, a handsome brick public school and, at five stories, the tallest skyscraper in all of Texas. Main Street wasn’t paved, but it was built wide to accommodate big plans.5 Mollie’s sons went to work for the railroad. Her second son, Hardy Late Frost, fell for a Texan girl as pale and delicate as a porcelain doll. Her name was Ethel Groom, and she wasn’t yet 18 when they got married in 1895. The first grandson arrived the following year: baby Earl, named for his uncle Early. Then times got harder. Ethel died without seeing the new century, the day after her only son’s third birthday. The boy was in the fifth grade at the city’s public school

when the family received news that the railroad had claimed the first of Mollie’s sons. The brief newspaper account at the time said Hardy Late Frost “was killed in the yards at Mena, Ark., Wednesday night.” The train carried his body home. The family put a notice in the paper a few weeks later: 6 “We wish to thank our friends and neighbors, and especially the O.R.C. lodges 7 at Mena, Ark., and Denison, Tex., for their kindness and many acts of sympathy during our great bereavement in the loss of our son and brother, H.L. Frost. Mrs. M. R. Frost, Brothers and sisters and little son Earl.”

Assistant Archivist Lee Pierce at the Eastern Regional Branch of the Washington State Archives, located in Cheney. Young Kwak photo Donna Potter Phillips begins the day of seminars with a lighthearted but cautionary tale about collecting heartshaped rocks with her daughter. It’s easy to find a rock that looks sort of like a heart, she tells the group, and easy to convince yourself that it’s close enough — and that’s the moral. “Make sure you gather into your bag only persons who are your ancestors,” she cautions. “No making them fit.” Some of those who’ve watched amateur genealogy evolve are concerned that sites like Ancestry.com may be overplaying the ease of discovering true roots.8 The broad search and suggested connections make sure people find something, but not always the right thing. Tracing family history may be easier than ever, but that doesn’t make it easy. Documents have mistakes, county names and boundaries change,9 and whole collections of records are lost. The vast majority of the 1890 census was destroyed in a 1921 fire at the Commerce Building in Washington, D.C., leaving a two-decade gap right during the Industrial Revolution time when Americans were on the move.10 At least 16 million military personnel records held in St. Louis, Mo. — including most of the Army records for both World Wars — were lost in a 1973 fire that blazed uncontrolled for almost an entire day. And then our ancestors don’t always help, either. Three generations of Williams marry Elizabeths, or five cousins with the same name all grow up together in the same town. Our ancestors went by their initials, or their middle names, or spelled their own names differently at different times.11 Divorced women were often recorded as widowed. Adult children guessed where their own parents were born. Imagine a census recorder stopping by a farmhouse in the 1800s — depending on who answers the door, the answers might be very different. The reunion with ancestors is not always as we imagine. Once a woman from out of state stopped by the downtown library while visiting Spokane. Her family had always spoken of a relative who lived in a Spokane,

a prominent early businesswoman, and she wanted to see if there were any truth in it. Sure enough, it turns out the relative was quite well-known — especially to police, as a rather successful brothel madam. The facts of the past are not always kind ones. Our family trees bear slaves and slaveowners, cowards and criminals, murderers and victims. Our ancestors were praised for killing Indians, and disowned for getting divorced. Our families covered up homosexuality and mental illness, and the documents sometimes tell very different stories than our relatives do. Often what you find is merely the bones — a birth date, a place, a cemetery record. It’s much harder to find the sinew of history — the whys, the hows, the connections that turn a few names and dates into a full life story. It’s sometimes put this way: On a headstone you will find two dates, the beginning of the life and the end of it, with a dash in between. As the basic vital facts become easier to track down, more people are trying to understand the dash.

At the edge of the Eastern Washington University campus in Cheney, a state-of-the-art building holds the region’s history. On the first floor, the Eastern Branch of the Washington State Archives cares for the past. The sweet scent of old paper lingers in the cool, climate-controlled stacks, where heavy leather-bound volumes fill the beige shelves with original records of marriages, deeds and prison fines. The second floor houses a less traditional repository — the nation’s first-ever state digital archives. The space feels halfway like a library and half like a tech startup loft, with standing desks for the programmers and a pingpong table outside the fireproof data vault. One room is full of archaic computers, cassette players and early Macs — partly as a functional hardware library in case an old file surfaces that’s not compatible with

Some subject lines of emails I received from Ancestry.com after signing up for the free two-week trial: “Add Grandpa and Grandma to your tree, Lisa,” “Don’t miss out on your family story,” “Lisa, the 1930’s may be the key to your past.” 9. Spokane County, for example, extended far beyond its current boundaries when it was created in 1858. It then ceased to exist altogether for about 15 years after the newly formed Stevens County absorbed it in 1864. 10. The 1921 fire was a turning point for political support of a National Archives building in Washington, D.C. Congress approved the building in 1926 and construction started in 1931. Not all the records are kept there; the

modern computers, and partly because it’s awesome. Network Administrator Harold Stoehr says that room is a tour-group favorite. “People will run up to some old computer like it’s an old friend,” he says. Farther back, lights blink and spinning discs act as the digital equivalent of archive assistants searching for materials in the stacks downstairs. An adjacent room contains an elaborate system for backup power, and multiple backups of the 55-terabyte database are kept in the reinforced, fireproof vault. The people of Washington can rest assured their data is prepared for the worst. The digital archives were built from the traditional model, with lockers for researchers’ things and a reading area just like downstairs. But pretty much no one came by — aside from some EWU students who realized it was a quiet place to study for finals — and why would they when it’s all online? The primary mission of the digital archives is to capture state and local records that are “born digital” — audio recordings, governors’ emails, snapshots of agencies’ websites. But through statewide projects to image and index historic records kept in the five regional archives, the website has also become a portal for searching a vast number of Washington documents. “The demand is to have things online,” says Steve Excell, the state archivist in Olympia. Occasionally they still get longhand letters, and some people still drive to the archives in Olympia to sift through original documents in the reading room, but most people don’t want to do that — they want to sit at home on a rainy weekend and poke around in the archives on their own time. They started with the marriage records, because each one matters to two families.12 The eastern branch finished so quickly that King County shipped over 700,000 marriage records, dating from 1855 to 1990, in a secured state archives truck. The original records were sent back just as carefully, but by then each one also existed as a ...continued on next page

They’ve since moved on to birth, death and naturalization records, though the pace slowed as the budget got tighter.13 The state archives staff is half of what it was five years ago. And the mission of preserving public records is harder than ever before. Paper endures better than electronic records; we rely on computers for everything, but we still treat paper with more significance. Excell, the archivist, calls digital records “fragile.” “When it went electronic,” he says, “we had to compete with the delete key.”

It’s said that my great-great-great-great-grandmother, Amelia Lonesome Patterson, had 24 children, though there is proof of only 17: Micajah, Elijah, William English, Thomas Simpson, Matthew, Nancy Ann, Mary Adeline, Elizabeth, Rhoda, Sevier, White, Snow, Winter, Young, Sarah and Hiram Joseph. Besides her own children, it’s said she was a midwife who helped bring every child in the county into the world. Amelia and her husband, Elijah Frost, were both born on the frontier side of the mountains in eastern Tennessee in the years after the Indian Wars, when that land was still Cherokee territory. Elijah’s father, Micajah Frost, had come from Virginia with his father and brother after the Revolutionary War,14 and settled on a piece of land set between two ridges along Poplar Creek right about the time Tennessee became the 16th state of the union in 1796. It’s said they were the first white settlers in the area. A few Frosts stayed put long enough to be buried in Tennessee, but most of the sons and grandsons kept moving west, pushing the frontier clear out to the Pacific Coast. One went by wagon, crossed the mountains six times, then settled outside Boise.15 One was shot and killed in the streets of a California town.16 Some fought in the Civil War, some homesteaded in Missouri and some left Oklahoma during the Great Depression. The place where Micajah Frost laid claim to land is still called Frost Bottom, but no Frosts live there anymore.

What will happen to our Facebook pages? Will our grandchildren read our Twitter feeds? The criminals and the congressmen get their place in history books; the governor’s emails will be archived. But what about ordinary folks — the ones who get up each day, go to work, hug their families, pay their bills? We say our lives have never been so documented, but what will endure? We don’t write letters. We’re not listed in phone books. Federal census questions now are purely statistical — it no longer will say where we were born, or where our parents were born, or what our occupations were. In some ways digital records are more like oral history, says web historian Marc Weber — the files must be copied and updated regularly to keep them from disap-

Unlike paper documents tucked away in attics or clay tablets buried in natural disasters, digital records will not survive by accident. In 50 years, institutions will have a system for preserving digital records, Weber says. But we haven’t adapted yet, and we don’t know whether big companies like Google and Facebook will make a point to preserve the data we feed them. Our generation could leave behind an unprecedented record of everyday life, or we could see our digital lives abandoned and lost. “It really could go either way,” Weber says.

In 1943, when Earl S. Frost died in the stairwell of the county courthouse, the courtyard on the north side of the building had not yet been filled in. On that September evening, light would still have been coming through the five tall windows at every stair landing. If you look closely, you can see the outlines where those windows still exist inside the wall.

second floor, she shows me reports from the early years, bound together in green volumes and stamped on the cover with “Not To Be Taken From County Auditor’s Office.” Dalton hopes to have the books imaged at some point, but for now they reside in a glass-fronted bookcase near the door to her office with every other annual report published since the 1890s. The 1929 report is the first with his name listed — Jack Frost, Chief Accountant — and the last is 1942. I turn the pages and try to imagine the man whose life’s work is printed in these columns of numbers. “You’re touching what he handled, what he touched,” Dalton tells me. For a couple of years starting with the 1943 report there are occasional pencil marks beneath the published sums and figures — those corrections suggest he was a hard man to replace, she says. In another book she turns to a floor plan of the building at that time, and points to the little typed label spelling out ACCOUNTING in one of the turret offices — the same turret office we are in now. I look around at the curved wall and windows overlooking Broadway Avenue. Dalton and Oscarson point out the radiator in the newspaper photograph, and there it is below the window. They point out the hand-painted wainscoting in the photo, which still exists in an office down the hall. Oscarson points out that there are only two things that separate us from history: time and space. And when you hold the same things they held, or sit in the same place they sat — it’s only time.

Innocence and Experience At just 18, Conrad Tao comes to town to play Beethoven with the Symphony By E.J. Iannelli

t seems fitting that Conrad Tao’s first concert performance — at the age of 8 — was Mozart’s “Piano Concerto in A Major.” Mozart was and Tao is a prodigy, gifted beyond their years not only in terms of pure instrumental skill, but also in their ability to realize their larger ambitions within their contemporary musical worlds. For Mozart, that meant becoming a musician and composer for the nobility in Salzburg and Vienna despite the intricacies of 18th century court politics and pressure from an overbearing father. For Tao, it’s meant founding his own music festival, UNPLAY, as well as garnering the popular and critical plaudits that have made him a sought-after composer and soloist for orchestras around the world. The 18-year-old, Illinois-born Tao, the son of an engineer and scientist who both immigrated from China, remains disarmingly modest in light of his early success and growing stature in various realms of music. He speaks of his life — his unusual career arc, his acknowledged strengths, his perceived weaknesses — with an honest detachment that normally comes with age, not to mention an articulateness one might ...continued on next page

expect of someone many years his senior. But his maturity doesn’t mean that this accomplished violinist and pianist has abandoned his youth altogether. He approaches works like Rachmaninoff’s familiar “Piano Concerto No. 2” with the romanticism and ardor that are generally considered the emotional domain of the young. Those unique aspects of Tao’s playing have frequently been singled out and celebrated by critics. And they also account for the Spokane Symphony’s sigh of relief when Tao was booked at the last minute for a cycle of Beethoven’s piano concertos after Gil Garburg, half of the originally scheduled Silver-Garburg Piano Duo, injured his arm. “I can’t believe that this opportunity ended up presenting itself in the way it did,” Tao says with reciprocal delight, not least because the concert will be his first ever in the state of Washington. About three weeks ago he was performing these same five works with the Symphony of the Americas in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “I went into doing these five Beethoven concerti in Florida ... thinking it was almost a novelty project, because it’s not something you often get to do. And here I am doing them again.” As with Tao’s previous concert performance of Rachmaninoff’s work, his performance of the Beethoven concertos was praised for its “eloquence” as well as the “precision and intensity” he brought to it. Depending on the critical tack, these very same qualities arise because of — or despite — his age. Tao says there’s some truth to both. “I wouldn’t necessarily say that my youth brings anything specific to my approach to a piece aside from what my own individual frame of reference might bring,” he says. “You could look at it and say that inevitably these (Beethoven concerti) will be a little bit fresher — because they literally are — but I resist the urge to say that there’s going to be a tangible difference aside from the fact that it’s all still brand-new to me. I suppose what my youth ultimately brings is that I’ve had less time to ruminate on what I’m trying

to do with Beethoven, or what I’m trying to find with Beethoven.” Again, Tao ends up talking about his age. “For me, this has always been an issue. You can’t have experience without just having experience. I am new to these concerti, and quite honestly, I’m new to doing anything in large sets like this. This is the first time I’ve done any kind of cycle, really. The only thing that is palpably different for me as opposed to someone who’s seasoned is that ... I’ll be approaching it with a virgin mentality,” he says, chuckling at the unintentional double entendre. “But, honestly, listeners are in a much better position to make that judgment.” And yet recall that Tao was performing Mozart by second grade. His first recital came before he’d even begun to get visits from the Tooth Fairy. “I am almost closing in on a decade of experience,” he says, emphasizing the almost in the same way that a boy might stand on tiptoe to meet the height requirements of a fairground ride. “So we’re getting there — slowly. Necessarily slowly.” No matter how slowly that experience will come in the future, by this point Tao has enough under his belt to know how he views Beethoven’s five piano concertos. For this performance, he’s opted not to play them chronologically — i.e., in the order 2, 1, 3, 4, 5 — but according to how they “cohere programmatically.” That means nos. 1, 2 and 4 are scheduled for May 11, and nos. 3 and 5 for May 12, which, incidentally, will place him thousands of miles from home on Mother’s Day. “I know, I know, it’s terrible,” he says, laughing. “But she’s taking it OK, because she’s not going to be home either. We’re planning on celebrating early.”  Conrad Tao performs Beethoven’s Piano Concertos with the Spokane Symphony • Sat, May 11, at 8 pm; Sun, May 12, at 3 pm • $14$44 • Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox • spokanesymphony.org • 624-1200

SUMMER CAMPS | Girl scouts

Through the Generations Camp Four Echoes has been helping girls become self-confident for 75 years and counting By Azaria Podplesky

n 1938, the Spokane Central Lions Club, wanting to help Girl Scouts establish a camp, purchased a 127acre plot of land along Lake Coeur d’Alene’s Windy Bay. With that, Camp Four Echoes was born. That year, 45 girls spent the summer there. To date, 34,000 girls, Girl Scouts and adults have enjoyed activities like swimming, kayaking, sailing, geocaching, arts and crafts and archery at Camp Four Echoes. Now in its 75th year, Camp Four Echoes has played a part in many a girl’s summer vacation. It did, and continues to, for multiple generations of camp director Jayn Courchaine’s family. Courchaine was 15 when she earned her way to camp by selling Girl Scout cookies. Her daughter, Patricia Abraham, attended sessions at Camp Four Echoes for three years, beginning when she was 9. Abraham’s own daughters, Emily, 8, and Gracie, 6, are now preparing for their second and first trips to Camp Four Echoes, respectively. “I have to admit I was nervous about sending my ‘baby’ to camp for the first time,” she says about Emily’s first trip to camp. “However, I also understood the value it would add to her independence and spirit.”

Along with typical camp activities, Camp Four Echoes also offers campers the opportunity to participate in a variety of sessions. Popular sessions include “College Bound,” in which campers tour a local college and chat with a financial aid team. There’s also “CSI@C4E,” which lets campers release their inner gumshoes to solve a mystery, and “Nocturnals: Adventures by Night,” a session during which campers switch from day to night activities, sleeping during the daylight hours. “Girl Scouts is all about leadership and decision-making, and the camp gives you that independence to do the things that you are most interested in doing,” says Susan Nielsen, chief communications officer for Girl Scouts Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho. Named after the number of echoes campers hear if they yell across the bay at Echo Point, Camp Four Echoes, now 212 acres, also boasts more than a mile of waterfront, a $3.4-million lodge and themed campsites. Emily is excited to make more friends and swim, while Gracie is looking forward to making crafts and sleeping in the cabins like her sister did. “Camp is really fun,” Emily says. “It’s OK to miss

SUMMER CAMPS | Costs

Balancing Your Budget Summer camp doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg By Jordy Byrd

emorable summers are measured in scraped knees, water balloon fights and macaroni arts and crafts. But these summertime experiences don’t require a hefty price tag. Summer adventure can be experienced on a budget with local day camps. Many camps offer in-house scholarships, provide sliding pay scales or even accept financial assistance through the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). “Last year we gave out a little over $10,000 in summer scholarships,” says Lu Eagle, director of program operations for the Boys and Girls Club of Spokane County. “We don’t want cost to be the reason why youth can’t access our club.” The Boys and Girls Club offers scholarships based upon household income. The organization’s Super Hero Summer Program provides campers with nonstop action Monday through Friday from 9 am to 6 pm for just $10 per week or $100 for 10 weeks. Campers will participate in recreational and educational activities themed around X-Men, Star Wars, Nintendo, anime and more. For an additional $10 per week, campers will visit places like Cat Tales Zoological Park

Learning

and Splash Down Waterpark. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Outreach Center offers a sliding pay scale and provides income-based scholarships for its Summer Youth Academy day camps. The center also accepts payments through the Child Care Subsidy Program — a DSHS program in which qualifying families receive state assistance to cover the cost of childcare, including qualifying summer camps. “We offer scholarships because we want kids who are from low income families to have the same opportunities,” says Freda Gandy, executive director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Outreach Center. “We want all children to have safe, structured fun.” Day camps operate Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. The 10-week program allows campers to garden, swim, cook, create art and more in an effort to promote diversity, community service and literacy. YMCA of the Inland Northwest also offers financial assistance based upon income, and campers may receive a discount of up to 35 percent. Eligible families may also receive assistance through the DSHS Child Care Subsidy Program. “We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to

Boys & Girls Club Cherry Picking discover who they are and what they can achieve, regardless of their family background or household income level,” says Connie Reynolds, the day camp’s director. “As a mission-driven nonprofit, we turn no one away because of inability to pay program fees.” YMCA day camps are offered at various times and weekly intervals. Campers may explore dance, rock climbing, roller derby, archery, swimming, crafts,field trips and more. Although summer adventure can be achieved on a budget, Reynolds says the experience is priceless: “Camps help kids develop grit, character and curiosity — all qualities needed for success.” n

TV THE RYAN LOCHTE DISASTER T

he celeb world these days is a messy place of overcommunication. Social channels connect the noteworthy with their audiences like never before, and for every attention-shirking artist, there are multitudes of spotlight-hungry lesser-thans embracing each ounce of its exorbitant glow. The resulting treasures? Amanda Bynes’ Twitter feed, Zach Braff’s Kickstarter campaign and E!’s latest offering, What Would Ryan Lochte Do? WWRLD offers its audience an unasked-for invitation into the life of the chiseled-ab, winking prize hog of the 2012 Olympics. Since we last saw Ryan in an actual swimming pool, we’ve heard about him via the tabloids — his desire for companionship, bro-ship with mama, fashion world aspirations. Naturally, somebody found a three-dimensional view of these offerings necessary. On one hand, WWRLD feels like never-ending, gratuitous self-congratulation (dude, please stop taking your shirt off!); on the other, as part of a world that prides itself on status updates and tweets, it more-than-kinda fits right in. Lochte is no genius, as evidenced by his self-described “blank moments.” Misplaced words and befuddled stares abound, but sadly we can do worse. (Lookin’ at you, Kardashians and Snookis.) When Lochte accepts an award on behalf of his work to combat muscular dystrophy in the show’s second episode, his starathlete face goes on and he gives a heartfelt speech, even if two minutes earlier he was trying, cringe-inducingly, to figure out his tie. The bigger trouble here is that Lochte’s play for the camera feels forced and Jeremy Renner-on-SNL awkward. Is he really picking up faceless females at bars, or does

Nobody here is “talented” (cough) enough at the art of Kardashian fakeout “reality” to really sell it, resulting in something mostly unwatchable. And that leaves the question of “What Would Ryan Lochte Do?” suspensefully unanswered. Dun dun dunnn! — ASHLEY GRAHAM

Saturday, May 18 7pm | $10 ALBUM | Bearded blues picker Charlie Parr of Duluth, Minn., plays like his life depends on it, like he wants to leave blood on the steel strings of his guitar. He makes century-old traditional ballads sound new and desperate while writing original songs engrained with a timeworn authenticity. His newest album, BARNSWALLOW, released earlier this year, mixes his intricate fretwork and howling vocals with deft harmonica and washboard accompaniment. Recorded live to tape, Barnswallow provides 10 tracks of foot-stomping soul.

CANDY | When a beloved product announces a new recipe or formula, it usually signals disaster. But the new MIKE AND IKE Original Fruits candy has managed to improve the already adored flagship treat. After staging a mock breakup last year, Mike and Ike have gotten back to focusing on outstanding candy. Sporting a new modern look, the new candy recipe boasts “real fruit juice” and “amplified flavor.” You can tell. Against all odds, it’s actually a tasty improvement to a candy that was pretty great to begin with.

BOOK | Described as the “Bob Woodward of forest fires,” Montanabased author John N. Maclean has spent nearly 20 years investigating and explaining the nation’s worst fire disasters. His new book, THE ESPERANZA FIRE: ARSON, MURDER, AND THE AGONY OF ENGINE 57, takes readers through a set of arson fires set outside Palm Springs, Calif., in the summer of 2006. It chronicles the deadly entrapment of Engine 57 and the resulting murder trial of the arsonist who sparked the fire. Like his father Norman Maclean, who wrote A River Runs Through It, he combines a reporter’s diligence with a storyteller’s prose.

Spokane Shock quarterback Erik Meyer has tossed 50 touchdown passes in just seven games. young kwak photo

The Long Road

After six years looking for stability, Erik Meyer has found success with the Shock BY HOWIE STALWICK

hree times, major league baseball teams drafted Erik Meyer as a pitcher. Three times, he turned them down because of his love for football. Three times, National Football League teams signed Meyer. Three times, he was released without playing in a game. Three times, the Spokane Shock signed Meyer. Three times, he failed to land the starting quarterback job on a full-time basis. Finally, six years after he last played regularly and eight years after he starred at Eastern Washington University, Meyer is starting — and often playing spectacularly — for the Shock. “I think we all saw the potential there,” Shock coach Andy Olson says. “Every time he’s been healthy — every time he’s actually got a chance to prove himself — he’s been very efficient.” Meyer, finally healthy, has been far more than “efficient” as the Arena Football League season nears the midway point. He leads the league with 2,055 passing yards and 50 touchdown passes in seven games, and just two of his 264 passes have been intercepted. “I’m glad I stayed with it,” Meyer says, “and I do feel rewarded.” Meyer’s pro football odyssey has taken him to three countries and four states. He won the Walter Payton Award as the top offensive player in NCAA Division I-AA (now the Football Championship Subdivision) when he passed for 4,003 yards and 30 touchdowns as a senior at Eastern in 2005, but went undrafted. Cut in training camp the following year by Cincinnati, Meyer started for Cologne (Germany) in the NFL Europe minor league in 2007. He played well enough to earn a training camp invite from the Seattle Seahawks, but was released before the season. He didn’t even make it to training camp with Oakland in 2008 or Hamilton (Ontario) of the Canadian Football League in 2009 before getting his walking papers.

Meyer was a backup on Spokane’s AFL champions in 2010, missed most of the 2011 season (split between Utah and Spokane) with a shoulder injury, then sat out last season after suffering a concussion in the season opener. Meyer says he occasionally thought about quitting, but not for long. “There were some tough times,” he acknowledges, “but I still wanted to play and I still have a passion to play.” Meyer, 30, agrees with Olson that he trained “to be the best you can be” this year after focusing too much on doing whatever he could to avoid injuries prior to last season. Meyer’s superb play this spring helped the Shock start 5-0 and rise to No. 1 in the AFL rankings before suffering two close losses the past two weeks. “It’s been a lot of fun,” Meyer says, “especially with the type of season we have going and with the group of guys we have.” “He’s extremely smart,” Olson says. “He listens to the coaching staff. He learns, and he’s trusts his receivers. I’d say that’s the biggest thing: He trusts every guy out there.” Meyer, also a talented baseball player who pitched in one unofficial instructional league game with San Francisco Giants farmhands in the fall of 2006, says he hasn’t given up on his goal of playing in the NFL. For now, the La Mirada, Calif., native is content to play in the AFL, though a stint as an unpaid assistant coach at Eastern Washington last season convinced him that he wants to coach in college once his late-blooming playing career comes to an end. n editor@inlander.com Spokane Shock (5-2) vs. Orlando Predators (1-5) • Sat, May 11 at 7 pm • Spokane Arena • $14-$47 • ticketswest.com • 800-325-SEAT • SWX television and ESPN 700 radio

Local Flavor

We asked local bartenders to make us their official Spokane cocktail By Annemarie C. Frohnhoefer

ast month, New York magazine published “Cocktail Country: Outstanding Drinks From All 50 States.” Unsurprisingly, the editors of that rag chose a Seattle-mixed chardonnay concoction that does little to represent drinkers on this side of the state. So we asked some Spokane bartenders to describe the perfect cocktail for the Inland Northwest. One stands by his opinion that the true cocktail of the Inland Northwest is “an extremely hoppy IPA, because this region is known for its hops.” It’s also becoming known for its craft liquor. Since the early aughts, the number of craft distilleries in

Washington has steadily increased and The Seattle Times reports that Spokane’s own Dry Fly Distillery began the trend. Judging from the list below, Spokane bartenders combine local beer and liquor to agreeable effect.

In Frank’s time there, it’s lost its reputation as a place for nightly brawls and gained a reputation as a friendly neighborhood tavern that welcomes anyone from anywhere and will even experiment with recipes so that you get the drink you want. In that spirit, PJ’s Spokane Car Bomb was born. “I had a customer come in and he wanted some kind of beer to go with his shot of Jameson’s and Bailey’s, but he didn’t want Guinness, so we took and dropped the Bailey’s into the Northern Lights [now No-Li] Chocolate Dunkel and I tried it later, when I wasn’t working, and — the Spokane Car Bomb!

SOUTH HILL: The Round Up — Two Seven Public House

A family-friendly establishment, Two Seven Public House’s clientele tends not to play quite as hard as their north-side neighbors. Bartenders serve mostly beer, and that beer is often IPA. But when they do mix cocktails, it’s tried-and-true concoctions like mojitos in the summer or hot buttered rum during colder months. This suggests that perhaps South Hill drinkers would prefer to be somewhere else — like Mexico or Victorian England. But for drinkers willing to accept something closer to their current reality, bartenders are more than happy to supply the Round Up, a shot of Pendleton whiskey mixed with Thomas Kemper root beer. Throw in a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you have the perfect drink for those glorious Inland Northwest summer days.

The crowd at Baby Bar has a name — or two — for this drink. But none, they say, “that we’d feel comfortable to see in print.” What is in this prurient aperitif? Hard cider and whiskey. But not just any cider and not just any whiskey, or else this would just be any other Apple Jack. “There are some amazing ciders that come out of Washington state,” says bartender Patti Tully, who mixes Tieton Cider with Dry Fly or any other popular rye or bourbon. On this occasion it was Bainbridge Organic Distillers’ Battle Point Whiskey. The cocktail, with its mild cinnamon-clove tones, tasted like Christmas, highly appropriate for a region that experiences an eight-month cold season. Most patrons consume PBR, especially on Wednesdays when a Pabst and a grilled cheese sandwich only run a buck each. On paydays, however, Baby Bar hipsters drink Greyhounds.

ALL AROUND TOWN: Northwest Boilermaker

This strong, minimalist beverage (a shot of Dry Fly whiskey and a locally brewed IPA) conjures up the mean days of preProhibition Spokane, when all those single-room-occupancy buildings downtown housed laborers, railroad workers and transient young men in search of fortune. They may have downed a primitive version of this retro classic which is currently available at most north-side, hillside, riverside or valley taverns. n

Sweet Dreams on Division isn’t just for brides By Annemarie C. Frohnhoefer

weet Dreams owner and baker Susie Bowen is in the middle of a surfboard, the woman at the counter tells me. She’s not catching a wave at some tropical locale, but rather making an edible surfboard from fondant for an upcoming wedding. Tomorrow Bowen might find herself crafting dozens of Despicable Me minion-shaped cupcakes for an elementary school party. She’s a perfectionist, to a point, and won’t let any confection leave her bakery unless it’s something she would eat herself. This self-confessed “ingredient snob” uses only real vanilla, real sugar and whatever other non-artificial ingredients the recipes call for at her Division Street bakery. Scratch-made lemon curd — Bowen handsqueezes about 15 lemons per week in the making of this egg, sugar and butter based custard — is the essential ingredient for lemon cakes, bars, cupcakes and frosting. One bite of the cake’s sugar-infused lemon peel flavor will cause you to want one more. The coconut frosting shot (yes, shot glasses full of frosting are available for purchase in the cupcake lounge) contains shreds of coconut saturated in the creamy flavor of coconut milk. The macaroons have a toasty sweet outer edge and a light, fluffy interior. Deep, resonant chocolate frosting tops delicate chocolate cupcakes. And

the pink champagne cupcakes — it’s as if a glass of champagne morphed into a cupcake without losing any essential portion of itself. You can practically feel the bubbles pop on your tongue. But don’t let the lemon bars, cupcakes, biscotti or cookies ($2-$3) distract you from the bakery’s raison d’etre: wedding cakes ($4.25/serving). The light, slightly sweet cake is a good way to top off an otherwise indulgent reception. Bowen’s shop has a boutique quality. She strives to create flavors and designs unique to each wedding. Bowen’s most prized wedding cake was a seven-tiered feather cake that required her to hand cut, from rice paper, the delicate, pure-white feathers draping each layer. The cake’s only non-edible feature was the LED lights along the tiered edges. Never having created a cake like that, Bowen worked off a photograph shown to her by the bride. This attention to detail means that Bowen requires four months of advance notice for each of her bake-to-order nuptial confections. In the meantime, she’s got plenty of other sweets in which you can indulge. n Sweet Dreams Bakery • 3131 N.

The Two Seven Public House

2727 S. Mt. Vernon St. | South Hill 473-9766

fter five years on the South Hill, the Two Seven Public House has earned a loyal following of regulars and a half-decade worth of their feedback — which instigated recent changes to the menu. A red lentil burger topped with roasted red-pepper mayo and mozzarella has bumped the Anasazi bean burger from the menu. A turkey sandwich topped with pesto mayo on a French roll replaced the oyster sandwich. The Dip of Love, a cheese-encumbered bread dip, has

yielded to the cheeseburger quesadilla. That appetizer is just what it sounds like — cheeseburger ingredients stuffed into a tortilla. This kind of American fusion is one thing the Two Seven does well. The newest specialty dish, Korean short ribs, is done up USA style. The kimchi is quick: cucumbers, fresh cut, topped with kimchi sauce. The short ribs are plunged into marinade and flash-grilled like steak. — ANNEMARIE C. FROHNHOEFER

BAKERIES Rockwood Bakery 315 E. 18th Ave. | South Hill 747-8691 The Rockwood Bakery is less of a coffee shop and more of a community hub. Nestled in the neighborhood just east of Manito Park, the warm, open-air spot — stuffed with heavy wood tables and cozy chairs — is always a day-brightener. It’s just one of those places that makes a beautiful day nicer and a rainy day cozier. And nothing we’ve eaten there is anything short of delicious. Sweet Frostings Blissful Bakeshop 15 S. Washington St. | Downtown 242-3845 Everything about Sweet Frostings Blissful Bakeshop could be described with some sort of sugary adjective. When you walk in, it feels like you’ve just entered The Food Network. Brightly colored walls, cute decor and bubbly workers put customers in a good mood, while the amazingly delicious scent of the freshly made goodies makes mouths water. The bakery, in the heart of downtown Spokane, offers morning pastries,

whoopie pies, cheesecakes and French macarons, along with a few signature items — like cake truffles (also called cake pops) and homemade pop tarts. Bakery By the Lake at Parkside 601 E. Front St. | Coeur d’Alene 208-415-0681 The revamped bakery space inside the upscale Parkside building offers fresh-baked goodies and steaming cups of chai, in addition to the other treats one might expect — bagels, muffins, scones, croissants and shelves full of gorgeously browned loaves of bread. Bakery by the Lake also has a mini-bistro. You can enjoy both breakfast and lunch among the potted plants or along the sun-filled counter. In the evening, stop by for a glass of beer or wine, paired with a selection of soups and salads. n

Gatsby to the printed page. There’s nothing subtle in this screen version, and there’s nothing wrong with that approach. Gatsby (Leo DiCaprio owns the role from the moment you first see his dazzling smile) is a mysterious, extremely wealthy fellow with an impossible agenda that involves recreating his own happier past. Also — not quite as — wealthy are Tom and Daisy Buchanan (Joel Edgerton, Carey Mulligan), a couple who couldn’t be less happy together.

Baz Luhrmann gives the great American novel a 3D treatment By Ed Symkus

ollywood has been trying to get to the heart of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel about the American Dream gone wrong almost since its publication in 1925. The first version, long lost, came out in 1926. Three more followed, in 1949, 1974 and 2000. The best known of them, the ’74 version, which featured a too-oldlooking Robert Redford as Gatsby and a miscast Mia Farrow (a last-minute replacement for Ali MacGraw), stayed fairly loyal to the book’s story but didn’t come close to capturing its spirit. Now we’ve got one that succeeds on both of those counts, but is still going to have some trouble among the Fitzgerald purists. Directed and co-written by Baz Luhrmann, who has never been afraid to go over the top in such films as Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge!, this Gatsby makes sure to cover the basics — its first image is the book’s iconic green light — but maintains the freedom to more fully explain some of Fitzgerald’s ideas. Nitpickers will have a field day thanks to the film’s new framework of protagonist and first-person narra-

TO THE WONDER

Terrance Malick, best known as the writer and director of the weird-to-the-max Tree of Life, is back, following that groundbreaking film up with another stylistic effort. Starring Ben Affleck, Javier Bardem and Rachel McAdams, the film tells the story of a man (Affleck) who falls in love with a Ukranian woman and relocates them to his native Oklahoma, only to have their love affair cool off as they both find love in the arms of others. At Magic Lantern (MB) Rated R

AFTERSHOCK

Some American dudes are cruising through Chile looking for good times when they stumble upon a swanky and happening night club. While partying it up, an earthquake strikes, briefly trapping them below ground. But then they escape, only to realize that the walls of a nearby prison have collapsed, thus flooding the streets with escaped convicts. Written and co-starring Eli Roth (of the Hostel series), the film is a creepy action thriller. At Magic Lantern (MB) Rated R

THE GREAT GATSBY

Will the fifth time be the charm? The fifth adaptation of the 1925 Fitzgerald novel (the others were in 1926, 1929, 1974, and 2000) has it over its predecessors because it sticks closest to the source material, in both storytelling and spirit, and because director Baz Luhrmann is a visionary stylist. He takes the tale of selfish, wealthy rich folks in the 1920s, most of whom think they deserve everything they want, casts it perfectly (Leo DiCaprio and his smile were made for the role of the mysterious Gatsby), then goes over the top with swooping 3D cameras, fast editing, and a nutzoid musical score.

B LOOMS ON THE BLUFF May 11th & 12th

now playing 42

A class act all the way, this sports bio tells the story of Brooklyn Dodgers second baseman Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman), who wore the number 42 and was the first black player to make it into the majors. His achievement was helped along by Dodgers GM Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford), who braved the ire of fans and players alike to get rid of that race line. The film concentrates on Robinson’s life in the mid-to-late 1940s, even though there are tales aplenty of earlier exploits that would also make a great film. The athletic Boseman adds a genial intensity to the role, and Ford gets his meatiest and crustiest part in years. There’s much use of the N word, every bit of it to capture the reality of the situation. (ES) Rated PG-13

BIG WEDDING

Don and Ellie have been divorced for years. But their adopted son’s marriage heralds a basket full of strange and extenuating circumstances that require the divorced couple to fake their marriage after years of separation. Will they be able to pull off this quirky charade to save their son’s wedding? This star-studded movie boasts more famous actors than an Oscar after-party, so you’re basically looking at the talent of Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon, Diane Keaton, Katherine Heigl, Amanda Seyfried and many more. (SM) Rated R.

THE COMPANY YOU KEEP

Robert Redford (who also directed this film) stars as an Albany, N.Y., attorney named Jim Grant, recently widowed and

raising a young daughter on his own. But when a former, long-fugitive member of the radical 1960s Weather Underground movement, Sharon Solarz (Susan Sarandon), is caught by the FBI, local reporter Ben Shepard (Shia LaBeouf) uncovers a secret: Jim Grant was implicated in the same botched bank robbery for which Solarz was wanted.

home they’ve known when it’s destroyed during a big natural disaster — the end of the world, maybe? Their journey to a safer place is basically the first road trip of all time, and as you can guess there are lots of unexpected twists and some semi-forced family bonding moments along the way. (CS) Rated PG

DISCONNECT

In a world where everyone is connected through cellphones, laptops and tablets, human relationships have been forced upon an evolutionary path to cope. A businessman always on his cellphone with clients. Cyber bullies pushing classmates around online. A teenager who makes a living performing on an adult website. The question is asked — how do we connect? What does that connection mean when humans take their interactions online, through text and over the phone? This drama, starring Jason Bateman, follows the lives of disconnected people who crash together in a struggle to relate. (SM) Rated R

G.I. JOE: RETALIATION

The last G.I. Joe movie meant different things to different people. For some, it was a revitalization of childhood heroes. For others, it was a two-hour-long Channing Tatum fest. Now, the G.I. Joes are it again. They have to fight the Cobra. They have to save their paychecks from a President who has attempted to disband them. They have to fly through the air. They have to impart subliminal messages of patriotism and a pro-military agenda. But this time, we have Dwayne Johnson, aka the Rock, and Bruce Willis, the Die Hard, to make the movie that much cooler. (SM) Rated PG-13

IRON MAN 3

So, there’s this pretty obscure movie that a lot of you haven’t heard about. It’s called Iron Man and it really never got popular. They made a sequel, which didn’t do well in box offices either and definitely didn’t amass a huge fan base or anything. A third one is coming out this week. So, I guess, if you feel like it, go and see a movie that didn’t get big and support some struggling actors like Robert Downey Jr., Guy Pierce and Gwyneth Paltrow. The movie is about a man who makes a metal robot suit. There’s an evil villain. The guy has to save the world most of the time and stuff. We’re kidding, this thing is outrageous and, of course, very popular. (SM) PG-13

MUD

Two teenagers stumble across a ruggedly handsome fugitive (Matthew McConaughey) hiding in the Deep South from bounty hunters and the law. The boys decide to take matters into their own hands, making a pact to keep the dashing criminal hidden from hungry killers and help reunite him with his long lost love. It’s nice to see McConaughey continue his habit of appearing in movies that aren’t, by and large, romantic comedies. Let’s hope he keeps it up. (SM) Rated PG-13

In the ’80s, Chile’s military dictator was called to legitimize his rule through a democratic vote. The only problem, dic-

tators have a nasty penchant for staying in power, even when “democratic” voting strategies are employed. The predicament: getting the people of Chile to vote “no,” and vote the dictator out of office. The solution: a brilliant marketing campaign that brought the country out of oppression. This battle royale between marketing and politics catapulted the country into a revolution, proving that advertising consultants are way more badass than we give them credit for. At Magic Lantern (SM) Rated R

OBLIVION

Jack (Tom Cruise) is a dude trying not to get captured by the alien Scavengers still scurrying around on planet Earth, still hanging out even though they lost the war with humans. (You’d think they’d take a hint and go home, but no.) The Scavs are intent on causing trouble, and it’s Jack’s job, as a sort of roving Maytag repairman, to keep in the air the fleet of drone weapons that are protecting, from Scav attack, the ginormous fusionreactor thingies that are turning Earth’s oceans into a power source for Titan, a moon of Saturn, to which the human survivors of the war have decamped, what with Earth reduced to a radioactive wasteland and all. (MJ) Rated PG-13

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

Despite being a CGI-heavy affair, Sam Raimi’s Oz feels incredibly alive. Fueled by the same gleeful energy that drove Raimi’s earliest work, it not only serves as a worthy tribute to the wonderland conceived by L. Frank Baum but also a celebration of moviemaking itself. This prequel to the 1939 classic fittingly opens with a circus sideshow circa 1905 where the ramshackle wooden structures instantly recall Evil Dead’s shoddy sets. This black-and-white chapter introduces Oscar “Oz” Diggs (James Franco), a lowrung magician/first-rate Lothario, who ends up in a tornado that lands him in a familiar Technicolor landscape. (CW) Rated PG.

PAIN & GAIN

The true story of a trio of bodybuilders in mid-’90s Miami who grab for the Ameri-

can Dream via the inept kidnapping of a wealthy gym client sits at the center of this sometimes wildly funny, often darkly gruesome Michael Bay film. Yup, the guy who brought us the Transformers movies still knows how to tell a great story, as he did in Bad Boys and The Rock. Speaking of the Rock, Dwayne Johnson gives the performance of his career here, as an ex-con who sees the light, then falters. There’s great ensemble work between him, Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Mackie, some comic nastiness from Tony Shalhoub as their victim, and an air of calm from Ed Harris as a private detective. Lots of fun, but definitely not for the squeamish. (ES) Rated R

QUARTET

Centered around four musically inclined retirees and starring everybody’s favorite Downton Abbey actress Maggie Smith, this movie melds together our love for music and old people. The drama that ensues at this retirement center threatens the success of the annual gala concert, leaving the audience with one question: will the show go on? (KS) Rated PG-13

ROOM 237

Directed by Rodney Ascher, Room 237 uses the differing perspectives of five film fans to deconstruct the minor nuances of The Shining. Bill Blakemore, Geoffrey Cocks, Juli Kearns, John Fell Ryan and Jay Weidner are die-hard fans of Kubrick’s work. All are writers (ranging from reporter to novelist), but none are active critics. The specifics in The Shining sparked in each of them an obsessive search for answers to distinctly different questions. We are never shown their faces; instead we see clips from different Kubrick movies. At Magic Lantern (JH) Not Rated

SIDE EFFECTS

The newest collaboration between director Steven Soderbergh and writer Scott Z. Burns (Contagion, The Informant!) is their best. It’s a twisty-turny mysterythriller about money, sex, (prescription) drugs, sleepwalking, and lots more. Great writing and direction, every actor is spoton. At Magic Lantern (ES) Rated R n

The Inlander’s winning short fiction submissions become the subject of the 50 Hour Slam

A Good Day to Die Hard Fri-mon 9:35pm, tues 9:15pm,

BY MIKE BOOKEY

n the days before the annual 50 Hour Slam filmmaking competition was to kick off, Ted Means knew he wanted to make a movie for the contest. He didn’t know, however, who would act in the film... or help shoot it, or provide equipment or editing assistance. Somehow, though, Means, a 28-year-old who studied film at Eastern Washington University, showed up at the 50 Hour Slam’s kickoff event — where filmmakers are given requirements guaranteeing that films are made specifically for the festival — with an actress friend in tow. Soon they found others to help, including Ray Ward and his high-end camera, and were on their way. They then learned of another challenge. Means and his crew would need to adapt a short story, one of the finalists of The Inlander’s annual short fiction contest, a new caveat added for this year’s festival. Festival organizer Juan Mas wanted to integrate local writing into the event, and figured The Inlander’s writing contest was a good place to start. Means was assigned “Red Rocket,” a story by North Idaho writer Skip Frazier about a pair of young daredevil brothers who coerce their cousin into playing their favorite — albeit insanely dangerous — game involving the family’s rickety swing set. The team ended up turning this tale of childhood memories into a crime story. “The theme that we got out of that story was

Wed-thurs 9:35pm

about how a new guy can screw things up. We turned it into a crime story that’s really about the inner workings of criminals,” says Means. From swing sets to crime syndicates? Keep in mind that O Brother, Where Art Thou? is an adaptation of The Odyssey. Adaptations don’t have to be word for word, as evidenced by “Busted,” the result of Means and crew’s efforts. The five-minute film is one of 15 finalists that will screen Saturday at the Magic Lantern. With their story adapted, the crew headed out to shoot, facing challenges like an angry patron at the required (by the festival guidelines) scenes shot at one of the Spokane library branches. Then they had to scramble to edit the film into shape — something that would typically take days of work — in less than 24 hours. Then it was time to put this thing to bed. “At some point, you have to say ‘Good enough’ and that can be hard for creatively minded people who are aiming for perfection,” says Means. “But in the end, it’s one of my proudest productions.” n 50 Hour Film Festival • Sat, May 11 • Screenings at 5 and 7:30 pm; Q&A with judges at 4 pm • Magic Lantern Theatre • 25 W.

Band of Brothers

Flying Mammals take experimentation to a whole new level By Sarah Munds

aron Birdsall wants to install a zip line at his next show at the Knitting Factory. He wants trapeze artists, maybe fire breathers. Right now at shows, the lead singer and bass player climbs up on his amp stacks, hurtles himself onto a trampoline and flies through the air. In the middle of a song. While continuing to play. Birdsall, 32, and his band, Flying Mammals, have plans for more trampolines, for more leaping. But until then, the local pop rock band just need you to look up from your Coors Light and pay attention to the live bands playing in your local bar. “In this area, we’ve played at a lot of shows where

people just go there to drink. We had a hard time getting people turning around to watch the show. That’s why we have the trampoline … [that’s] why I play blindfolded. We try to make it more of a performance than just a band playing,” says Andy Birdsall, 25, the band’s drummer, who has broken more bones in his short lifetime than in the human race’s collective history. Because of a broken arm, he was forced to play one-handed, Def Leppard-style. Playing one-handed helped familiarize Andy with the drum kit enough to the point where he could play without looking. They’re thinking about blindfolding guitar player James Birdsall,

27, as well. He’s skeptical. He’ll do it if he has to, he says. He experiments with quirkier rhythms, loves the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ guitar lines, and plays acoustic shows when he’s not playing with Flying Mammals. James takes pride in his effects pedals and is fascinated with a more off-the-wall approach to music. His guitar lines delve deep into the funkier side of things before coming back to the surface. James brings a different sound to every song. Lead singer Aaron plays bass and the keyboard, and also sings (while trampolining). One hand carries a solid bass rhythm while the other hand fills the song with airy chords on keys. “It’s a lot like a conductor who looks at a sheet of ...continued on next page

music and sees the entire orchestra. Every page is a piece. But instead of an orchestra, I hear all of that in a song,” Aaron explains. Classically trained, the Birdsall brothers connect with all genres and all disciplines. For them, the creative process centers around growing as artists. Testing the waters when they get bored. Reaching into new territory. As a family, they’ve been playing music for years. The brothers, born to a doctor and an actress alongside five other siblings, grew up surrounded by music, encouraged to pick up an instrument and figure it out. Originally, Flying Mammals started out as a family band with all eight brothers and sisters. But with siblings on other continents, in medical school, and settled with families of their own, the band boiled down to Andy, Aaron and James. And being family helped when it came to experimentation. “The furthest I’ve gone outside of my comfort zone… ” Andy pauses. “ …is when we made you sit down and play the piano. That one time,” Aaron finishes. He chuckles. But for them, there is no official comfort zone. There is no safe word. They all experiment. Sometimes the sounds they come up with are weird. They work on it. They try something new. Aaron says he doesn’t hold back or worry about dysfunctional, strained relationships between band members. His band is literally his family. “In rare cases, when a band is adapting, changing, growing and doing it together, the band grows,” Aaron says. This time around, the band is growing up together all over again. n music@inlander.com Flying Mammals • Fri, May 10, at 9 pm • Gus’s Cigar Pub • 1903 E.

MGMT

Overnight pop stars MGMT are still surprised at their own success

  Scenic course along Spokane River

By Jordan Satterfield t’s safe to say that the only people shocked by MGMT’s nearly instantaneous rise to fame were the members of MGMT themselves. The eclectic, psychedelic pop group skyrocketed to prominence on the backs of singles like “Time to Pretend” and “Electric Feel,” both from the band’s debut record. That record — Oracular Spectacular — is now something of a modern pop classic. It’s an album that rarely sags, each track crammed with as many stadium-sized hooks as a song can hold, all with a charming, clever wit. But it appears that the recognition garnered by Oracular Spectacular’s crazy likeability was not really what the members of MGMT were going for. Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser, the band’s multi-instrumentalist founding members, began to make it very clear that their intentions with MGMT were always more artistic than pop-minded. “We weren’t really trying to write hit songs or get recognition from other people,” Goldwasser told Interview. “We were doing it mostly for ourselves, just for fun. To have it considered not just as an indie album but as a pop album is really surprising.” This is the notion the group set out to prove in 2010 with Congratulations, a decidedly heavyhanded assortment of psychedelic arrangements that has little in common with the beloved Oracular. There is much to be said about the group’s lofty ambitions at work on Congratulations, which

 USA Track and Field sanctioned

feels conceptual and curious as it strums through countless chunks of unfinished psychedelia. Unfortunately, at the time it seemed as though what MGMT wanted to do did not exactly correlate with what the band was good at. Congratulations throws out the hooks for an admirably bizarre ride, but it’s also messy and unmemorable as a result. VanWyngarden and Goldwasser explicitly stated that Congratulations would have no singles and would serve as something as an antithesis to Oracular. You have to hand it to the boys for making what they wanted to make, despite being under the microscope of fans and rock critics the world over. The price they paid for their artistic integrity was losing many of their casual fans. Was that the ultimate endgame with Congratulations? If so, mission accomplished. But the fact is, MGMT remains one of the most interesting acts in popular music today because of their ability and their unpredictability. Their new self-titled record comes out next month, and it’s anyone’s guess what sonic territory it will see the band travel to. Even to those who have been disappointed by the group’s endeavors, MGMT is a band that always deserves a listen. n MGMT with Kuroma • Tue, May 14, at 8 pm • Knitting Factory • 911 W.

POP CAMI BRADLEY

he first time you hear Cami Bradley, you’ll swore you’ll have heard her before. That’s because Bradley, a 24-yearold local chanteuse, makes sweet indie-pop tunes that are so polished and so singable, it almost seems a shame she’s not being played on radio stations around the country. After the release of her latest record, SEAS — one she crowdsourced in a snap through Kickstarter — we might just see Bradley skyrocket to stardom. It’s only a matter of time before Bradley’s music catches each and every one of us by the ears. — LEAH SOTTILE Cami Bradley SEAS Album Release Party with Rustics and Bristol • Fri, May 10, at 7 pm • Bing Crosby Theater • 901 W.

HIP-HOP MOBB DEEP

t the risk of sounding like an old bag, they just don’t make ’em like they used to. I’m talking about hip-hop, and while there’s lots of great new hip-hop out there, there is nothing like the sound of an early ’90s rap crew — one like Mobb Deep. The New York duo came out of the projects with a dark, in-your-face sound that turned radio-rap acts on their heads. The duo soon found itself deeply embedded in the East Coast/West Coast hip-hop feud, trading personal disses with none other than Tupac Shakur himself. If that doesn’t make you legit, I don’t know what does. — LEAH SOTTILE Mobb Deep with Kagah, Cordell Drake & Mista Snipe, Pest, Jaeda, Swindle of Certified, Wildcard and Flying Spiders • Wed, May 15, at 7 pm • Red Room Lounge • 521 W.

MUSIC VERY VOCAL

The Spokane of the 1930s hadn’t even thought of Expo yet. We were a place of mills and farms, an up-and-coming city with train tracks cutting through its middle. But even way back then, Spokane had artists looking for a venue for their art. For example, the Pages of Harmony, a group of barbershop quartet singers that was founded in the ’30s and still sings today. The group celebrates its “diamond anniversary” (that’s 75 years) of harmonizing in the area with a concert at the Bing Crosby Theater. The show ties in with the Lilac Festival, another longtime Spokane tradition — so that’s why the singers will be in purple cummerbunds and bow ties. — LEAH SOTTILE

HOLIDAY MOM’S ALWAYS RIGHT

Not to get all sappy and sentimental here, but all of us really do owe our moms a lot, if only for putting up with us since they day we were born. Of course, there’s no better day to express that overdue gratitude than Mother’s Day, which is this weekend, by the way (just in case you still haven’t picked out that card). If you’re out of original ideas to wow Mom this year, consider this. Thirteen local writers are teaming up to share personal stories of the complicated, messy and diverse relationships they have with their own mothers, in a local version of a national show called Listen to Your Mother. By the end of their stories your appreciation for Mom may be even greater. — CHEY SCOTT Listen To Your Mother Spokane • Sun, May 12 at 7 pm • $15 (cash only at door) • Bing Crosby Theater • 901 W.

relationships

Advice Goddess Smells Like Libertine Spirit

I got involved with my co-host on my Web show — a woman in an “open relationship” with her live-in boyfriend of two years. Things were light and fun between us until we developed actual feelings for each other and he got jealous and she became guilty and torn. Two weeks ago, after we had an amazing date, she texted to say she was “falling apart” and quitting our show. She’s since made our friendship conditional on our not being amy alkon involved anymore and my not questioning her quitting or discussing what happened. I either abide by these rules or “watch (her) walk away.” I said she was being emotionally manipulative, and she got really angry. She knows I care about her and want her in my life, but it seems unfair that I have to constantly worry about saying the wrong thing and having her cut and run. —Eggshells Some people in open relationships can come off a little smug about how cool, modern, and progressive they are — that is, until they write that first check to the private detective to make sure you and their girlfriend are only getting your freak on, not holding hands. Monogamy might not be “natural,” but neither is watching your partner run around on you and being all “no problemo!” about it. A couple who decide to have an open relationship may tell themselves they can intellectualize their way around jealousy (and insecurity, possessiveness, and other such fun) without really working through how, exactly, they’ll manage that. This guy, for example, maybe got so excited about “having his cake” that he neglected to consider what would happen if his girlfriend really, really liked her cake. These two actually had a responsibility to anybody they got involved with to do their open relationship homework and figure out that they could only manage “happily ever afternoon,” not “after.” It would be nice if she took responsibility now for failing to take responsibility then, maybe with an “I’m really sorry” and a “We probably shouldn’t see each other,” but she prefers to extend her history of denial with the notion that you can be “friends.” Oh, and P.S., feel free to ask her anything, as long as it’s about nothing more emotionally sensitive than the time. As for whether you should stick around and meet her terms, well, with friends like her, who needs bar fights? Also, it’s hard to stop wanting somebody when you don’t stop seeing them, at least for a while. It seems your time would be better spent pursuing a woman who doesn’t already have a boyfriend. You and she can try the sort of open relationship you’re looking for now — one sans conversational restrictions — as opposed to the sort that, for a good many people, works out like the hen becoming BFFs with the coyote. (Eventually, somebody’s going to end up a pile of feathers.)

Random Acts Of Silence

You advised a guy who “choked” when talking to girls to focus on saying things he finds interesting and fun. Well, I often can’t think of anything smart or funny to say until the woman’s gone. I saw the cutest redhead at the supermarket, and not wanting to let the moment pass me by, I blurted out, “Are you an actress?” She smiled politely and replied, “No.” To which I responded, “Do you get that question a lot?” To which she replied, “Yes, I do.” I had nothing after that. Smooth. Very smooth. After she left, I thought of a million witty things I could have said. —Witless My boyfriend hit on me by talking about a “kernel panic” (some kind of computer panic attack that fills your screen with scary code) — a subject of slightly less interest to me than the projected weather for tomorrow in Hammerfest, Norway. But because he’s very much my type, I didn’t care what he was saying, just that he was sticking around saying it and, I hoped, working up to asking for my number. Most women know whether they’re attracted to you before you open your mouth. If a woman’s into you at all, you don’t need to perform like there’s a two-drink minimum next to the kale; you just need to ask something that keeps her there and allows you to regroup. “Are you an actress?” is less than ideal, as it comes off as a version of “You’re HOT.” She’ll want you to think she’s hot. But women tend to downgrade men who hit on them by remarking on their looks. Ask about something she’s wearing or carrying or something in the environment. If she seems responsive, keep talking. If she’s giving you one-word answers, it’s a sign either that she isn’t attracted to you or that you forgot to point to the cider when you asked, “Those jugs yours?” n ©2013, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. • Got a problem?

Hello there! I’m Bear 1328; & I came into the Spokane county animal shelter (SCRAPS) 4-25-13. I’m an adult male Rottweiler around 5 years old. I came in with my best buddy Grizz 1327 (another male Rottweiler) & we would LOVE to be adopted together! We both know SIT & SHAKE & are great on leash! We are both very gentle & love to cuddle. We very much enjoy our walks together! We prefer to have a house without cats. We rush in to meet other dogs so on-leash introductions are appropriate.

I Saw You Knitting Factory One more chance to dance. You saw me walking out with my friends Friday, and grabbed me up to go dance! I would love another chance to dance with you! Main Market You were checking out in front of me today (5/2) at Main Market and you commented on my caramel purchase. I should have asked for your number when I saw you again in the parking lot but I’m not that suave, apparently. If you’d like me to treat you to a caramel and maybe lunch sometime, let me know!

Cheers I Love Your Guts The sound of your voice. The cleft in your chin. The way you smell. The rythm we rock. I am yours baby and all coincidences point to you. You’re in my mind, you’re in my heart, and I love it. You add more than you know and more than you think. Past the bs - which will always come around for any pair - I love you. I love you. I love you and we will build castles from the ruins we create- Forever is for us - love Poundcake Red October 24th, 2003 was a moment in time that we will cherish forever. We could have never imagined where that day would take us. Here we are almost ten years later. This tale we have written has been an up and down love story that has lifted our spirits and sometimes crushed our hopes and dreams. Through all of this that we have endured we find a way to bounce back. You are forever a part of me and I will always try to make you happy. I admit at times I have taken you for granted and I have done my best to apologize. I still make mistakes, but I intend to learn from them. Thank you for everything. You are a beautiful woman with so much to offer. I am lucky to have you in my life and hope to be by your side for as long as we live. Lets find the patience and understanding we need together to make the future a happy ending. With love and trust, Billy

Cheers mermaid in the sea for me. I Miss You My life is great these days. I’m so happy! I’m enjoying my family, spending time with friends; work is, eh, ok, but it pays the bills! But oh how I miss you. Even though it’s been over nine months since you’ve walked out of my life, if feels like it was just yesterday. My heart hurts. You were, and I assume still are, the most amazing person ever. I regret not making myself find the words to express to you how much you meant to me and how much I loved you. I was dealing with a lot of hard things at the time and I regret that I let myself get lost in that. If I could go back a year and half and change the way I saw the world I so would. Then maybe I wouldn’t of lost you. I’m sorry I couldn’t be what you needed or wanted. Also, I’m sorry if this is annoying you because I know you know it’s about you! I Saw You, 12/3/09 at Agave Bistro. You were wearing black shoes, a grey sweater, and blue jeans. Your sense of humor, smile, and laugh made my night, I fell for you that night and later you became my wife. It’s been over 3 years now and not only are you a great wife, you

From our hilarious daily miscommunications to our endless Harry Potter-watching, to thrift store shopping adventures.You are the most hardworking, caring, and lovely soul. Thanks muchly for all that you do and are, and for being my Mum for the last 18 years (remember, you wouldn’t be a mother without me! ;). And now for a brief poem: Through all the years, old and new, remember, Ma, that I love you. Lalala, the end. Happy Mother’s Day!

Jeers Dear Wonderful Friends Whom we so respect and cherish: We celebrate the brief moments we have been given on this planet to share close moments and intelligent conversation. We love that you often invite us to your home for our kids to play together and have their nurturing social time. But recently, unfortunately, we made a huge mistake: we allowed our young one to have a sleepover with you and your children on a chilly, early spring Saturday night. Our arrangement was to pick up our child in the midafternoon Sunday. We thought it would only be an innocent playweekend night, yet, as it was explained to us by our young person’s mind and voice, you decided to haul off all the children to your favored church for services and indoctrination without permission from us. My dear friends, as much as we love you and your kids, you must understand that you are absolutely NOT responsible for our child’s (or our family’s) “spiritual” or religious upbringing or “education.” Please see this and take note: We are a proud secular family unit: we are Atheists, Humanists, Freethinkers and, above all, we are positively FREE from the fears of those fictitious biblical elements which we feel are detrimental to an intelligent society’s advance in a world community and to a worldwide peace. We highly respect and admire all cultures, languages and beliefs. But once you attempt to drag our souls and minds (and those of our loved ones) into your cloudy abyss full of fairy tales and lies, then our friendship is considered “in limbo” until you respect

have it). Sure enough, that’s when you make your move to get going and came within inches of running me and my dog over, or at the least pushing us out into traffic so we could really get ran over by a 40 MPH northbound truck. I’ve worked too hard coming off a back injury to get to the point where I could even go jogging and I really don’t need the set back of getting run over by some inattentive dipshit. Fine, just fine, go ahead, kill me but you hurt my dog, then you really got me pissed. So then all I can do is yell, but I’m sure you still didn’t hear me. I should of pretended my fist was a 6 inch round piece of hail and really left an impression on your hood. And classy move squealing your tires as you pull away. Maybe train your 6 year old kid to speak up next time and let you know what’s going on with the other half of your driving responsibilities. Obviously the “adult” driver has too much on his plate or too little in his head. Or better yet, let little Junior dumbass drive.

need it. I also hope the fake, sun faded sunflowers bring a smile to your face, it seems to me if you’re stealing from a deceased being you may need a smile in your life. Returning those items would be appreciated, however I do not expect it will happen. I am very grateful to have such a beautiful spot to honor my late best friend, and although the lack of gifts others and myself left for her makes me sad, it is still my favorite place in the world. Sending love and positive energy your way thief! Harness it and turn it outwards, lovely thoughts, lovely actions.

Predatory Scum Thank you so very much to the scum who broke the lock on my chained up, almost brand new Troybilt lawn mower, weedeater and Poulan Pro leaf blower out of my truck. I admit, I was naive in thinking my flimsly lock be enough to discourage you--I’m new to inner city life, but that doesn’t make your predation any less despicable. This loss is financially devastating to me. I make my living off this equipement, I am booked up weeks ahead, and I am in a real bind. Thanks also to those who four days before, kicked in my padlocked garage door, stole a bunch of equipment (fortunately mostly malfunctioning), smashed my backdoor window, invaded my house, rifled through drawers and scattered my personal papers all over the floor, stole my vintage stereo and hard-earned money, and other valuables too numerous to mention. I feel like I’ve been smeared all over the sidewalk. Learning how to survive in my new city jungle home is going to be a real challenge I can see. I hope I’m up to it. Maybe I ought to just lay down and die. Responsibilities!? So I know it’s not an apartment manager’s responsibility to stop crime. On the other hand, one could also argue that it is not the tennants fault that his and his girlfriend’s cars had items stolen a grand total of 4 times. Now am I blaming the apartment managers fault? No, but I do believe that the apartment manager should try to keep from sounding like she is blaming the tennants of the apartment. Who knows, maybe they’ll write a jeers and spread the word on how insignificant they have made customers feel. I will not stand for this. Look Both Ways! Saturday at noon, North Pines pulling out of the Mirabeau church parking lot. Hey asshat, I can see that you’re looking left trying to take a right to get into traffic. That’s why as I approached from your right on the sidewalk jogging with my dog, I stopped. And I whistled. And waved my arms. And yelled. And gestured to your little 6 year old-ish son in the front seat who saw me, say something to your dad. Then I started to walk in front of you to get on with my run. (remember douche bag, I’m a pedestrian, there’s something called a right of way and your 2 tons of steel don’t

Curb Your Frustration To the lady backing up in the Yoke’s parking lot. If you think acting like you are going to run over me is an acceptable way to show the world your frustration, you need to have your Medulla Oblongatta checked. People like you are what’s wrong with this world. I hope you try to run over Ronda Rousey and she runs over you. Car Alarm To those of you who had to endure the car alarm on May 1st, outside our apartment: The car alarm was making noise to deter the criminal breaking into our vehicle, not to annoy you specifically. We will try and keep a better tab on it. As for the rude note left on the windshield: it is absolutely illegal to have a car towed from public street parking for a car alarm. You are not being targeted, you are not the victim of a conspiracy just to keep your children awake at night. It is life, and we are sorry you were so adversely affected. Our condolences and apologies, Nissan Pathfinder Cemetery Thief To the individual who deemed it appropriate to take the items that where decorating Kazbria’s final resting spot, I am very upset with you. The things I left for her were very special and dear to my heart. They were meant for her, not you. I understand the items where pretty and fun to look at, but stealing from the dead has got to have some negative karma attached to it. I hope the quartz geode you took helps you balance out your energy, you may

You Stole Our Bike! It was rusted, the chain was broken, the seat was ripped and it was cherished as the centerpiece of our front yard garden. If you are impressed by your friend’s recent find of a vintage teal children’s Murray bike, BEWARE! You keep company with a thief. We just want it back, no questions. Drop it off in the same manner in which you took it, silent and unnoticed. RE: Lack of Reading To the ignorant person who says “teenagers don’t read anything”: wake up. No, Teens don’t use books as they did in what I’m assuming is ‘your day and age’, but we do read. Teens use the internet to learn English language and participate in open discussions which help to enhance the knowledge and create new avenues of information. We share matters concerning our studies and academics and learn communication skills through conversations. We are a whole new generation of thirty-three million people who are constantly writing about ourselves, reading about our friends, IM-ing, Texting and what not. It is no different than picking up a pen and paper and mailing a letter to grandma, except you didn’t begrudge us for it then. We do appreciate the value of a good story and the power of a speech that moves. Yeah some of us have a hard time understanding what the value of Romeo dying at the end of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ was but we know what Atticus is fighting for in ‘To Kill a Mocking Bird’ and What Martin Luthor King Juniors Dream was. We know these stories and put them to use, comparing them to our own lives and choices. We learn from them. Yes it is tragic some children don’t know who Adolf Hitler is, but Teens today read and write of their own accord. We are used to writing now. We have become Honest documentarians of our own lives and that is a really great thing. We are researching, understanding, and keep a record of our daily lives. Literary wise, we are advancing simply because we want people to know who and what we are all about. As for the teachers salary comment, teachers don’t become teachers for the money, they do it for the love of kids and teaching. You don’t like your pay, get a different job. Protest To the group that felt it was appropriate to protest abortion at a family event using very graphic photos, shame on you. For a group claiming to uphold family values, you showed no respect to the families with children on a very family friend race route. Where were your children on that day?

My Time at Camp If you are sending your kids to summer camp, read this first By Chris Bovey

ow that our Summer Camps issue is here I’m reminded of an incredible life lesson that’s stuck with me: Never have your mom write your name on your underwear. I learned this the hard way. My worst summer camp memory even beats out peeing my pants on a 12-mile death march, getting rained on out in the woods and having to sleep in a car. I was about 8 when my parents dropped me and my brother off at camp. My mom had fond memories of Camp Four Echoes when she was a kid and just had to live vicariously through us. You would think she was going to camp the way she

54 INLANDER MAY 9, 2013

prepared us and went through with a huge black Sharpie and wrote my name on every item I brought, including socks. Camp started out normal — homesick, bug bites, etc. — and then for some reason on the second day my underwear went missing from my Army surplus duffel bag. I asked my brother and my bunkmates, but no one ’fessed up. I was stuck with the pair I had on for the remainder of camp. The rest of the week went without incident, and I had even managed to enjoy camp and become attached to my newfound friends. Until the last day.

Chris Bovey photo illustration

We were gathered outside the main lodge for a wrapup good-bye send-off when the counselor called out: “Chris Bovey, can you please come up here?” So I pushed my way through the 100 or so other campers, half expecting to be given a Best Camper of the Summer Award when, from behind her back, came my missing underpants. Written in black letters big enough for the kids in the back to see it — big enough to be seen from space — was “CHRIS BOVEY.” The entire camp, including the counselors and my brother, erupted in laughter as I, like a dummy, grabbed my underwear and shamefully made my way all the way to the back of the group. Embarrassed doesn’t even begin to describe it; I wanted to disappear. By the end of the day everyone had forgotten about Dirty Underpants Bovey, and life went on. Yeah, I hated summer camp for a long time after that. But now, as a dad of two boys, I’m torn: I don’t want to put them through the same thing, but I don’t want them to miss out either. Maybe I’ll just leave their names off their underwear. n
