EDITOR’S NOTE

ime is precious, and above all, here in the Inland Northwest, is summertime. It’s when we allow ourselves vacation time, when we prioritize family time, when we ride roller coasters, kayak lakes, bike mountain trails, host backyard barbecues, drive with the windows down, and on the fourth day of a particular month, it’s when we light the sky on fire to celebrate the birth of a nation. It’s appropriate, then, that SUMMER GUIDE has become the biggest issue of the year, and this week’s edition is in fact the biggest Inlander of all time. It wouldn’t be possible without the countless hours of many, but especially the work of our calendar editor Chey Scott and local illustrator Matt Bogue, who created the artwork for this year’s guide. I hope the paper reflects the time and love that went into it. Also this week: Commentator John T. Reuter (page 8) contemplates LinManuel Miranda, his Broadway megahit Hamilton and his moving response to the massacre in Orlando, which builds to this: “And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside. … Now fill the world with music, love and pride.” — JACOB H. FRIES, editor

ince 1980, the GOP domestic agenda has been based on, in one form or another, “supply-side economics.” In a nutshell, that has included: 4 Lowering taxes, especially in upper income brackets. 4 Privatizing much of government. (Even national parks, starting with the Grand Canyon.) 4 Promoting free trade. 4 Climate change denial. (Drill, baby, drill!) 4 Cutting all those meddlesome regulations. 4 Ferreting out “waste, fraud and abuse” that allegedly infects the government — except, of course, for the Pentagon. (This old standby works on voters every time.) 4 The belief that even with tax cuts for the rich, the federal government will defy the laws of mathematics and produce more revenue. 4 The guarantee that our business economy will grow by close to 5 percent a year. (At least that’s what the Reagan administration promised.) 4 And the promise that despite all the tax cuts, America will have plenty of money for legitimate government purposes, mostly national security. (But of course we’ll have to do something about those damn entitlements.)

wonder how our previous 11 presidents (not including Ronald Reagan, who brought all this to Washington), along with our two current candidates, might view supply-side policies and promises. Here’s how I imagine it: HARRY TRUMAN: “Reminds me of some railroad history. They wanted people to ride their trains so they borrowed Horace Greeley’s catchy line: ‘Go West, young man.’ ‘But isn’t there a desert out there?’ many asked. To quiet concerns, they came up with ‘the rain follows the plow.’ Known as sodbusters, many did go West — they plowed the sod and waited for the rain, which of course never came. But the winds sure did. Remember the Dust Bowl? This ‘supply-side’ stuff seems to me a highfalutin’ way of sayin’ pretty much the same thing — it’s just a new kind of Dust Bowl, and us regular folks doing all the sodbustin’.” DWIGHT EISENHOWER: “Seems to me you’re making a lot of assumptions, and when you think about it, the country did great during the 1940s and ’50s — everyone had a job, going to college, buying homes. And the rich back then, they were in the 90 percent tax bracket, but they were still doing OK — for sure a lot better than Army generals like me.” JOHN F. KENNEDY: “Didn’t Ike say, ‘We are all Keynesians now?’ Maybe that was Nixon.” LYNDON JOHNSON: “Remember when I said that sometimes chickenshit can be turned into chicken salad? Supply-side economics is just the opposite.”

6 INLANDER JUNE 16, 2016

RICHARD NIXON: “Sounds like a lot of BS mumbo-jumbo to me. But voters will love it, and by the time they find out they’ve been screwed, we’ll be outta here.” GERALD FORD: “Hmmmm… ” JIMMY CARTER: “Hand me my slide

rule.” GEORGE H.W. BUSH: “I said it then, I’ll say it now: It’s voodoo economics.” BILL CLINTON: “On the off chance you’re onto a new way to ‘triangulate,’ please work in the phrase, ‘I felt your pain and did something about it.’” GEORGE W. BUSH: “Sounds good, but could you explain that ‘supply-side’ thing one more time?” BARACK OBAMA: “Let me get this straight: Am I imagining it, or have you just laid out a kind of government-run Ponzi scheme?” HILLARY CLINTON: “My opponent is a loudmouthed disaster in waiting, in case you need to be reminded. And about supply-side — ditto what Barack said. Oh, and I didn’t do it, whatever ‘it’ is or was or might be.”

ven the Republicans aren’t that enamored with the supply-side economy they’ve been enlisted to enforce. After all, the evidence says it doesn’t really work. So where does The Donald fall on the supply-side spectrum? He says he hates free trade and will protect Social Security, but then he wants tax cuts for the rich — except when he wants more taxes for the rich. Just let him tell it: DONALD TRUMP: “I don’t know or care about any-side economics. I’ll be busy making America great again — walls to build, nukes for all. Easy. As for my four bankruptcies, my tax returns, my ‘university’ and those federal fraud cases? None of your business, and who cares? The voters love me! “Now I’m supposed to listen to Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell? I’m where I am today because I didn’t listen to these guys — losers, both of them. And I don’t care what they say, I’m still suspicious about Vince Foster — you know the Clintons, they’ll do anything. And do you really believe Obama was born in America? “Did I mention that Putin loves me? He really does. And I can do deals with North Korea, too — they respect me over there. I do deals — that’s what I do. Sooo many deals. Beautiful deals. Supply-side economics? Sure, I can do a deal on that. Why not?” n

COMMENT | trail mix

Cyber Campaigning The Online Battlefront

When HILLARY CLINTON, on Twitter, told DONALD TRUMP to “Delete your account” after he criticized her endorsement from President Barack Obama, the internet responded predictably. “Hillary Clinton Just Shut Down the Haters With This One Simple Tweet” was one headline. “Sick Burn” was another. Trump responded, “How long did it take your staff of 823 people to think that up — and where are your 33,000 emails that you deleted?” The Twitter spat demonstrates the vast difference in the candidates’ public personas. Even on Twitter, Clinton’s crafted and measured statements can make it difficult for many voters to relate to her; Trump’s brash, unfiltered comments energize his base and outrage his opponents. Only the tweets signed “—H” come from Clinton; the rest presumably are from her social media team. Trump, meanwhile, has insulted a total of 224 people, places and things on Twitter, by the New York Times’ count, and everything seems to come directly from his fingertips. A Clinton campaign spokesman tells Politico: “It’s the quickest way to make sure the media has the facts Trump likes to ignore.” (WILSON CRISCIONE)

Women on the Rise

HILLARY CLINTON’S historic nomination for America’s highest elected office marks a pinnacle in the slow progress of equal representation of women in the United States. For a little context, the data blog FiveThirtyEight aggregated polls from the 1930s to the present, asking Americans their opinion of a female president. As you might imagine, the public’s acceptance of a woman for president has trended positively. Seventy-three percent of those polled opposed the idea in 1940, 55 percent in 1945 and 48 percent in 1949. By 1999, 92 percent of Americans supported the idea. FiveThirtyEight did notice a couple of dips in public support. After the end of WWII and about a decade ago, approval of a woman as president waned. “The threat of terrorism and the increasing focus on U.S. military engagements abroad, sold with a distinctly masculine tinge by President George W. Bush, may have had something to do with it,” the website posits. Although more women hold positions of power today than ever before, representation hardly is equal. There are 262 female mayors of American cities of 30,000 or more (19 percent), 1,815 female state legislators (25 percent), six governors (12 percent), 84 House members (19 percent) and 20 Senators (20 percent). There are seven women in 23 Cabinet-level spots and three of the current eight Supreme Court justices are women. (MITCH RYALS)

The power and limits of the arts, and of ourselves By John T. Reuter

arly Sunday morning, 49 people were murdered at a crowded gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Any additional description I am capable of providing leads to mere redundancy. Of course it was a senseless, enraging, tragic and heartbreaking act. Heartfelt sentiments filled the evening news and social media as we collectively struggled to find the words to respond. And then Lin-Manuel Miranda took the stage

at the Tony Awards, delivering a brief sonnet: My wife’s the reason anything gets done She nudges me towards promise by degrees She is a perfect symphony of one Our son is her most beautiful reprise. We chase the melodies that seem to find us Until they’re finished songs and start to play When senseless acts of tragedy remind us That nothing here is promised, not one day. This show is proof that history remembers We lived through times when hate and fear seemed stronger;

We rise and fall and light from dying embers, remembrances that hope and love last longer And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside. I sing Vanessa’s symphony, Eliza tells her story Now fill the world with music, love and pride. Miranda is the creator of the Broadway sensation Hamilton, which tells the story of America’s first treasury secretary in a style that takes hip-hop to Shakespearian heights. Before winning 11 Tonys on Sunday evening, he and the show had already become cultural touchstones. The brief performances he and the cast perform for people trying to get tickets for Hamilton given out by lottery have boasted larger audiences than many other Broadway shows. Miranda has freestyled to prompts provided by President Obama in the Rose Garden and rapped on John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight about the need for financial support for Puerto Rico. So Miranda was already well on his way to being crowned America’s unofficial poet laureate, but his sonnet sealed the deal. It was simultaneously personal, intimate and universal — as the best art always is. It captures our grief and reminds us that the opposite of someone hating you is not you hating him; it’s love. The love we feel for each other — whether for our spouse or 49 people in Orlando we’ve never met and their friends, family and community. It’s not a new lesson — universal truths rarely are — but a reminder and an inspiration to act. For love must be realized in more than poetry; love must be actualized in action. It’s a lesson that is also the central theme of Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton was, in the words of Miranda, “young, hungry and scrappy” just like his country. He wasn’t going to throw away his shot to take a stand and make a difference. His antagonist in life and now musical theater was Aaron Burr, a man who consistently avoided taking a position on nearly everything. The arts can provide us with inspiration (and that is no small gift), but it is up to each of us to then take action. So let us learn from Miranda and his Hamilton. Let us fight for legislation to protect LGBT people and protect all of our communities from violence. Let us stand up to bigotry — whenever, wherever and however we can. For in the words of Benjamin Franklin, a founding father oddly absent from Hamilton, “We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.” n John T. Reuter, a former Sandpoint City Councilman, has been active in protecting the environment, expanding LGBT rights and Idaho’s Republican Party politics.

René Bross still doesn’t know why she found her 10-year-old son being restrained on the ground at Ridgeview Elementary School.

Corrective Actions

How Spokane Public Schools is trying to solve its student discipline problem By Wilson Criscione

or the second day in a row in mid-October, René Bross got a call from Ridgeview Elementary about a problem with her 10-year-old son. She feared it was another altercation with his teacher, like the day before. When she arrived this time, she found her son, who is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, face down on the ground, with the principal and a teacher’s aide on top of him. Bross took him away and told the school he was never coming back. She was notified shortly after that her son had been suspended for three days and charged with fourth-degree assault. To this day, she says she has no idea what her son did to end up on the ground. “It traumatized him greatly,” Bross says. “He has a fear of officers taking him to the ground like that. He had nightmares for a long time.” Bross told this story in front of representatives from Spokane Public Schools and other community organizations in a meeting May 9 on how to improve school discipline practices in the district. Her account represents just one side of a complex issue in Spokane: For every parent who says their child was mistreated, there’s a teacher who says they don’t have the support needed to protect the classroom from a misbehaving student.

20 INLANDER JUNE 16, 2016

The district is trying to reduce the rate of discipline for minorities and students with disabilities, groups who are suspended and expelled more often than other students. But in doing so, schools have come across a fundamental challenge: How do you avoid suspensions, expulsions or other serious disciplinary methods that often cause further harm to misbehaving kids, while also making sure teachers and other students are safe? Vanessa Hernandez, youth policy director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington, says that employing restorative practices — efforts to address student behavior without suspending or expelling students — is one major part of improving student discipline in Spokane, one that schools nationally have gravitated toward. In Washington state, she points out other school districts, like Bellingham and Tacoma, have implemented restorative practices. But none of those districts are starting from the place Spokane is starting, she says. The changes in Spokane, she says, need to be systematic. “There is an added layer of urgency for Spokane to take the lead and become a model,” Hernandez says.

ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM

Spokane disciplines students at a higher rate than nearly

young kwak photo

any other district in the state. About 8.5 percent of all students were suspended or expelled during the 2014-15 school year, more than double the state average. Special education students are far more likely to be disciplined than others. Though they made up 13 percent of the population in the 2014-15 school year, they accounted for nearly a third of all suspensions and expulsions in Spokane Public Schools, according to district data. Bross knew her son could not return to the same environment at Ridgeview after what happened there. She transferred him to Moran Prairie Elementary School, 35 minutes away from her home. She says the district should strive to ultimately prevent student behavior from escalating to the point where a child is held on the ground. The district, in theory, agrees. For years, it has urged teachers and administrators to use restorative practices and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), philosophies aimed at addressing the root of student misbehavior, building student-teacher relationships, and ultimately keeping kids in school — not suspending them at the first sign of trouble. The idea is that the earlier you can intervene, the more you can make a change in a student’s behavior. Consider a student who smells like marijuana after lunch. Many schools might send that student home. But according to Fred Schrumpf, director of community partnerships and on-time graduation in Spokane Public Schools, research studies show that kids smoke more marijuana more often when they’re sent home. “It’s not a logical consequence to exclude students for misbehaviors if the behaviors are going to increase, if we’re concerned about the student around substance abuse,” he says. “They need alternative approaches to that.” Restorative practices don’t always work, and it

becomes more difficult for students with severe behavioral issues. The philosophy is based on agreements between the student and teacher or administrator. If one side doesn’t hold up their end, then there must be a line where more disciplinary action can be taken, Schrumpf says. Wendy Bleecker, Spokane Public Schools’ director of student services, says people have a hard time wrapping their head around the idea of restorative practices. “Many people feel like restorative practices is an easy way out, and that you’re letting kids off the hook,” she says. “And really, you’re holding them much more accountable. That, I think, is a misunderstanding and becomes a barrier for implementation of restorative practices.” A current lack of training and support for teachers in the classroom is also a barrier, says Jenny Rose, president of the Spokane Education Association. She says teachers are receptive to restorative practices, but they don’t have the resources they need. “We really don’t want the kids to be sent home, because they’re going back to an environment that is not where they should be,” Rose says. “Schools are structure. We want to keep kids in school. However, they can’t come back to the classroom and keep disrupting the other students, and that seems to be what’s happening. There’s no support, and not enough adequate staffing to actually work with kids that blow out.” More support would mean more space in elementary schools, or intervention rooms to send the students, for example. And she says the training for staff needs to be more consistent. Right now, Rose says, the system isn’t working. For whatever reason, schools are reporting more issues with student behavior, says Shawn Jordan, Spokane Public Schools’ supervising director of secondary programs and special services. “This year in particular has been one where schools have felt more challenges with student behavior,” he says. “Though the data shows a decrease in incidents, the feeling among staff feels otherwise.” In a May 11 board meeting, Rose and Spokane Public Schools teachers addressed the school board with stories about kids, mostly in elementary schools, who became violent with teachers or other students in the classroom, only to return shortly after with little punishment. One teacher said she’d been trained in PBIS and restorative practices, but her general education classroom had three non-English-speaking kids, two students with behavior plans, two accessing mental health services, 13 transfers, and two who had received Child Protective Services in their homes. Without the staffing to support kids in these situations, the teacher argued, restorative practices could not be used properly. Classroom safety suffered. “How are we going to bridge the gap with philosophy,” the teacher asked, “and what we experience every day?”

UNDERPRIVILEGED, OVERREPRESENTED

As he taps his foot beneath the table at his home in Hillyard, Tucker says he doesn’t like change. But the eighth-grader, identified here only by his last name, has become used to it. He was kicked out of every elementary school in Hillyard, he says, and some in Spokane Valley, too. He spent a good part of his childhood moving around foster homes. He has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and an anxiety disorder. That, he says, is the main reason why he’s suspended so often. Back in December, he was sent to a quiet room at Eagle Peak School, a school for kids with extensive behavior issues. The quiet room is where students are “processed,”

meaning a student fills out a sheet explaining what happened and what they’d do differently. It’s a restorative practice, says school Principal Melinda Keberle, the kind she says the school has used for more than a decade. But on this day, Tucker started feeling anxious because the teacher wouldn’t pick up his sheet, making him sit in silence. He mumbled a curse word to himself, according to a grievance filed with Spokane Public Schools, and a teacher heard and told him to go outside and sit on a bench — another disciplinary practice used at Eagle Jenny Rose, president of the Peak. Tucker didn’t want to. Spokane Education Association He never wanted to, especially in December. According to the grievance, a school resource officer came and slammed him to the ground. Tucker says he never fought back. He was arrested and sent to juvenile detention for disturbing the school, with a fat lip and a split ear and a bump on his head, he says. He was suspended for the next several days. Tucker, who is represented by attorneys at youth advocacy group TeamChild, says he is tired of getting suspended for things he doesn’t think he can control, that don’t involve violence or drugs. After meeting with Spokane Public Schools administrators, his grievance has been resolved. “School is for education, not to get suspended. Because if you’re sitting at home, what education is that? What are you learning from it?” he says. Keberle says the students at Eagle Peak are there for a reason. They have significant behavior problems and they typically have struggled in other schools. While not talking about any specific case, she says it’s never just “one little thing” that leads a student to be arrested; instead, it’s a result of many prior interventions. Across the nation, low-income students and minorities are disciplined at a higher rate than other students. That holds true in Spokane as well. Students on free or reduced lunch accounted for almost 75 percent of suspensions or expulsions last year, according to district numbers. Black and Native American students are suspended at a rate twice their representation in the general population. Many low-income students have experienced some kind of trauma, or what’s called an Adverse Childhood Experience. That, says SPS’ Bleecker, impacts student behavior and academic success down the road. Those kids need more mental health support, which is why the district continues to add mental health therapists in schools. What doesn’t help kids, says Krista Elliott, a Spokane County public defender who handles juvenile cases, is being arrested or charged with juvenile crimes. Yet Elliott says her office has seen more referrals from schools, mostly from SPS, in the past year than ever before, meaning more kids are being arrested and charged. Out of 57 juvenile cases she has seen in the past month, 20 were incidents that occurred in school. Few were serious offenses, she says, and included charges like disturbing

school, a state law that can seemingly be used to charge a student for just about anything. “I sit in this chair and get files, and I’m seeing these kinds of cases come across my desk. And then I go to these meetings and I hear the school representatives say we want to take care of children, we do not want to suspend them or expel them, but provide education to them,” Elliott says. “And then somehow, from the administration to when it gets to my desk, it’s still happening.” Spokane County Prosecutor Larry Haskell has cracked down on juvenile cases. Elliott suggests there may be a disconnect between school resource officers and school administration as well. But whatever the cause, she says a charge on a kid’s juvenile record has repercussions down the road. “Limiting criminal charges coming out of schools, in a general sense, is something I feel strongly about,” she says.

CHANGES COMING

The district pushed for a decrease in suspensions and expulsions partly in order to fix the previously high dropout rate, which was around 30 percent five years ago, says Schrumpf, who leads efforts to improve graduation rates in Spokane. If fewer kids are kicked out of school, the thinking goes, more will actually stay in school. Today, the dropout rate is around 10 percent, Schrumpf says. Even though the discipline rate remains

“We want to keep kids in school. However, they can’t come back to the classroom and keep disrupting the other students.” high, Schrumpf anticipates the numbers for the 2015-16 school year will show improvement. Schrumpf notes that the discipline rates for most minority groups in Spokane are below state average and have been trending downward in recent years. He points out that some schools, including North Central High School and Sacajawea Middle School, have implemented restorative practices and have seen huge changes in student behavior. Dan Ophardt, a staff attorney with TeamChild, says he has seen the district take positive steps to reducing exclusionary discipline, but that so far it’s been more talk than action. He says the training for restorative practices needs to happen in a more coordinated way, keeping in mind that the district owes its students the right to an education without discriminating based on race or disability. “We see some schools doing great jobs on their own, and we see other schools falling back into this legacy of exclusionary discipline and disproportionate discipline,” Ophardt says. The district has made a series of budget requests to address student discipline, totaling more than $2 million. If granted, they would provide more elementary principal assistants, more behavior support in middle schools and other resources. On top of that, restorative language likely will be added to district policy over the summer. “Mainly when we support kids, we support teachers, too,” Schrumpf says. “It’s not one or the other. I think you do that simultaneously. So I think we’re going in the right direction, but we have a long ways to go.” n wilsonc@inlander.com

Running a Fine Line North Central’s boys cross country program was found to have wrongfully recruited kids; is it possible that coaches don’t actually know the rules? By Wilson Criscione

On Stands Now! 22 INLANDER JUNE 16, 2016

ven though the North Central boys cross country team has won a record-breaking 10 straight state championships, coach Jon Knight says he would have quit a long time ago if his program was only about winning. “That’s not what makes me tick,” he says. Instead, he has tried to cultivate a program that builds “young men of character.” But after a recruiting violation was uncovered last month, the character of NC’s program itself has been called into question. The violation occurred earlier this school year, when assistant coach Len Long gave an elementary school cross country runner a Star Wars-themed DVD promoting North Central’s program. It was entitled, Episode X: The North Central Boys Cross Country Legacy Continues, and came with a note encouraging the boy to choose NC. The video was handed out to about 15 other kids and was a clear violation of recruiting rules, says Washington Interscholastic Activities Association District 8 Director Herb Rotchford. “WIAA is very explicit in that you cannot provide any promotional materials — DVDs, letters or notes — that either markets your program

as better than other schools or entices prospective student-athletes to attend their high school,” Rotchford says. Knight acknowledges that handing out the DVDs was a mistake, but insists that it wasn’t an attempt to gain an unfair advantage. He says it was based on an honest misunderstanding of the rules. That may seem like an excuse, but confusion about what constitutes a recruiting violation is common in high school athletics. North Central’s recruiting violations are not as egregious as those of Bellevue High letter s School’s footSend comments to ball program, editor@inlander.com. which was found recently to have coordinated payments for athletes and paid tuition for students to attend an alternative school described as a “diploma mill.” Rather, what NC’s program did demonstrates how a recruiting violation, as opposed to merely sharing information, can be hard to identify, especially when few people actually know what crosses the

line, or even where that line is. “The reality, more than anything, is that people don’t know what the rules are,” says Lori Wyborney, Rogers High School principal and a member of the WIAA Executive Board.

otchford has been the WIAA District 8 director since 2011. In that time, he says, there have been no other proven recruiting violations in the Greater Spokane League. “You have rumors. You have innuendos. But nothing of substance,” he says. “And that’s one of the things that makes the investigation and the finding of illegal recruiting so difficult. In order for that to happen, we have to have a parent come forward and say, ‘This is what happened to my kid.’” As he points out, parents are generally not interested in coming forward and reporting a recruiting violation. But in North Central’s case, the parent of the kid who received the DVD reported what happened. Principal Steve Fisk investigated the allegations and presented his findings to Greater Spokane League activity coordinators, who determined there was a violation of WIAA recruiting rules. Part of the issue, says Knight, had to do with the open enrollment policy in Spokane Public Schools. A decade ago, the district went to open enrollment, which allows incoming ninth graders to choose any high school, provided there is enough space. Two years ago, the district created an online system that made it more accessible. Rotchford says that because any middle school student can potentially attend any high school, coaches cannot contact middle school students. They can, however, contact elementary school students at any time to provide information. Coaches, Rotchford says, should be responsible for understanding the difference between providing information and “inducing” a student to attend their high school. That means coaches cannot portray their athletic program as being better than another. “That can be a very fine line, and makes it even more important that coaches understand the language of the rule and its implications,” Rotchford says. Videos or written material implying that a school’s athletic program is better than another is specifically prohibited under WIAA Rule 27.0.0. Yet schools can promote academic programs, like North Central’s Institute of Science and Technology. Rotchford notes that private schools like Gonzaga Prep always recruit students for academics. Knight says Long thought he was operating within the rules when he handed out the DVDs to elementary school kids outside of NC’s attendance area, because he thought the open enrollment policy meant those kids were able to be contacted. Knight says the DVDs were simply leftovers from a video played during a convocation at school. The problem is that the content was deemed an enticement, and therefore a recruiting violation. Other high school coaches in the area, like Lewis and Clark cross country coach Michael Lee, agree that the recruiting rules can be fuzzy. Lee says he’s always had his own barometer for what’s appropriate. The school hands out flyers and sends out information to prospective students, and notifies them of an upcoming camp. Lee stopped short of discussing the allegations against North Central, but says the incident might help more coaches become aware of the rules. Knight says he didn’t know that Long was handing out the DVDs. Clearly, Knight says, he shouldn’t have. “Len Long is a great man,” Knight says. “He pushed it too far at the end, but he did it based on an honest mistake.”

hen Fisk, NC’s principal, reviewed the 58 cross country athletes from NC who competed in state during the program’s unprecedented 10-year championship run, 92 percent were from the North Central attendance area. Of the rest, one is Knight’s son, and a couple of others were from nearby areas just outside of NC’s natural feeder area. “The accusation that we built this on some recruiting machine is ludicrous,” Knight says. The program is on probation for three years. Knight has been suspended for next year’s first cross country event. Long is suspended for the first three events, but Knight says next year would have been his last year coaching anyway, so Long has retired. More than the sanctions, Knight is hurt by the notion that his program operated unethically. It’s the exact opposite of what he tried to do, he says. His plan was to retire after next year, and he hopes to hand the program off to the next coach in the best shape he can. But he says the recruiting violation could have a negative impact. “It just kind of takes the wind out of your sails,” he says. n

Beekeeping

Building Bees Regional beekeepers help honeybees prosper in urban areas By Dan Nailen

ob and Chelsea McFarland’s interest in bees started in their garden, where one day Rob noticed a few paying particular attention to his raspberries. Within minutes, the few turned into hundreds buzzing the area. Rob was familiar enough with honeybees through their appearances pollinating his vegetables that he wasn’t afraid. But when he saw the swarm, now numbering in the thousands, gather on a tree branch outside his neighbor’s door, he realized this was no typical feeding frenzy. Rob grabbed a camera and a phone — the camera to document this intense gathering of feral honeybees in the middle of urban Los Angeles, and the phone to call a hotline for just these kinds of situations run by a local bee wrangler Rob had seen on YouTube. A couple of hours later, Rob was helping corral the bees into a box — no bee suits necessary — and that day five years ago marked the beginning of a dramatic life

change for the McFarlands, as they became avid beekeepers and activists. Since then, they’ve launched efforts in Los Angeles to allow personal hives inside city limits, started a nonprofit called HoneyLove to educate and inspire fellow beekeepers, and most recently published a book called Save The Bees With Natural Backyard Beehives. “For me, it was just purely addictive,” Rob says. “I caution people when they’re getting into it that this may very well take over your life. Here’s a creature you can literally spend your life learning about, and continue to uncover these mysteries and fascinating behaviors and think about in different ways.”

he McFarlands now do their beekeeping in Medical Lake, where they moved about a year ago. Rob, born and raised in Spokane, says “my heart’s always been in the area.” While they’re still involved in the Los Angeles beekeeping community

through HoneyLove and a Natural Beekeeping Conference they’re launching in August, they wanted to start their family in the Inland Northwest, and find space for more gardens, more animals, and yes, more bees. The McFarlands brought their hives with them — a group once numbering as many as 30 — but many didn’t survive their first winter in Washington. “Generally, you want bees who are adapted to your local climate, and our bees were adapted for Southern California,” Rob says. But those that did survive clearly “had some advantage” genetically that they would like to pass on to their new hives. And the new bees have a good life on their lakefront property, where the McFarlands make sure there’s healthy, natural food growing. “I feel like we garden for our bees, it’s not the other way around,” Chelsea says. “We plant things that don’t really benefit us as much as the bees. We planted a few acres of clover in the grass. And Rob, pretty much everything he planted this year has some benefit for the bees.” Many have heard the scary statistics about what’s happening with the world’s bee population. The number of hives is roughly half that of what it was just after World War II, and the decline is widely attributed to everything from increased use of herbicides and pesticides to the industrialization of farm crops, from stresses put on bees by climate change to genetic tweaking of the bees themselves for increased honey production. The effects of colony collapse are frightening, considering that bees ...continued on next page

After Randall delineates between different types of honeybees — queens, drones and workers — and their essential jobs in the hive (laying eggs, fertilizing the queen and hive construction and defense, respectively), master gardener Barbara Ford delivers some harsh truths about becoming a beekeeper. It’s expensive, she says, and can eventually cost you thousands of dollars in equipment, bees and honey-processing fees. Then there’s the emotional toll of losing animals you care for when, inevitably, a hive dies. Ford and her husband have been keeping bees in rural North Idaho for 13 years, and “we still don’t know it all,” she says. “You’re dealing with a live animal. This is not something that you stick in a box out there and say, ‘OK, they’ll take care of themselves,’” Ford says. Especially when you’re just getting started, there’s going to be trial and error. “You’re always learning, there’s always a problem. Because what are you dealing with? Nature.” Throughout the day, the experts discuss the different beekeeping approaches, from the all-natural style favored by the McFarlands to medicinally treating bees, from feeding bees sugar water to the different types of hives one can build or purchase. For every question that arises, there are several responses at the ready from the beekeepers. That’s no surprise to Kara Carleton, the coordinator of the UI Kootenai County Extension’s master gardener

program. “Ask five beekeepers the same question, you will get seven different answers,” Carleton says. “And they’re all right.” The McFarlands echo that sentiment. They’ve attended enough meetings and classes to know there’s a wide range of thought on whether all-natural is the way to go. It can be as divisive as “religion and politics,” Chelsea says, but Rob adds that there’s a lot of common ground even among practitioners of different approaches. “It’s just like growing food. You can get to the same point a lot of different ways. It just depends on your philosophy and how you feel connected with your bees,” Rob says. “Both groups ultimately want to keep healthy bees, and love their bees, for lack of a better description. We try not to let that be too divisive an issue.”

hen Gonzaga opened its Hemmingson Center last year, the new building became a centerpiece of campus life, constantly abuzz with activity thanks to its meeting rooms, The Bulldog bar and restaurant, a dining hall and a Starbucks.

working for the school’s dining services and found they were both considering getting into beekeeping. For Chuck Faulkinberry, now the Hemmingson Center’s director, beekeeping came with a move to the West for his job at Gonzaga, and his family’s desire to lead “a more sustainable lifestyle.” He recalled learning about bees as a Boy Scout, and knew about “the plight of the honeybee, just having a difficult time.” He figured his land in Chattaroy would make a good spot for some hives, and he took a class through the Inland Northwest Beekeepers Association that helped him get started. He now keeps three hives at his home. “It really answered all the questions that I didn’t even know I needed to ask,” Faulkinberry says of the class. “It gave me direction and it gave me resources.” Dan Harris, now Hemmingson Center’s lead concierge, has some land with fruit trees between Deer Park and Chattaroy, and thought beekeeping would help pollinate his garden and orchard. He took some classes with his wife about five years ago and now has six hives at his house, a few at his brother-in-law’s Green Bluff property and more on some land Gonzaga owns in Wandermere. Both men fell in love with beekeeping, for fun, for relaxation, and for the knowledge that they’re helping some hives survive in trying times. Both do it as naturally as possible; Faulkinberry won’t even use smoke, lest it

stress out his bees. They see the hives on campus as a great way to educate people about honeybees and the challenge they face. “It’s primarily an integrated learning opportunity for students,” Faulkinberry says. “They can ask, ‘Why do we have bees?’ and we can tell them about the plight of the honeybees, how docile they are, that they’re not yellowjackets, not wasps.” The Gonzaga hives had some challenges in their first year, just like their peers across the world. The bees were healthy and happy last summer, enjoying the food available in campus gardens and around the neighborhood, when some of the bees brought a disease home, causing a massive die-off of both hives. But two new colonies started building in April, and so far, so good. “They’re such remarkable little critters,” Harris says. The McFarlands agree, and would appreciate that Faulkinberry and Harris took the time to take classes before starting their hives. “That’s what we say the first step for new beekeepers should be,” Chelsea says. “Before you get your bees, before you get your equipment, read a book. Go to a meeting. It seems like cart before the horse, but it’s not.” “It’s not something you jump into lightly,” Rob adds. “It’s a life. If you don’t have the commitment, don’t do it.” n

Growing Up Bazaar is just one success Terrain has to celebrate on Saturday By Mike Bookey

n Saturday, 76 visual artists, crafts makers, clothing designers and other local creative types will come together to sell their wares in the streets of downtown Spokane. Some of them may never have exchanged their work for money, but that’s sort of the point of Bazaar, because there’s a good chance their buyers won’t have much experience purchasing original pieces of art, either. The one-day art fair has an organic feel to it. The art hangs on wood pallets. Street performers wander through the mix of young and old art patrons looking for everything from a T-shirt silkscreened right in front of them to a new painting for their home. In a way, the event itself — the participants in which are selected by an independent jury — is an apt example of the ethos behind the nonprofit arts organization, Terrain, that produces the show. “There’s 76 artists this year, and this one is more geared toward letting them get the idea of what it’s like to sell their art, so they can get their foot in the door,” says Terrain organizer Diego Sanchez. Terrain charges $100 per vendor — much less than most other regional art fairs or markets — and provides wood pallets on which to hang art or other wares. They also don’t take a commission of sales, relying instead on cash and in-kind sponsorships to help prop up the event. “We want to help [the artists] figure out how to treat the art as a business,” says Terrain co-founder Luke Baumgarten of Bazaar. Terrain, which began as a one-night arts show and live music event in the fall, has expanded into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with its own permanent event space and a soon-to-open art gallery in the

Washington Cracker Co. Building. The group is just three weeks removed from collaborating with the Spokane Symphony and a number of local artists, musicians and writers to produce Uncharted Territory, and is in a state of flux. But it’s a very good state of flux. Last week, Terrain co-founder Ginger Ewing accepted a $100,000 grant from the Washington Women’s Foundation, making Terrain the first Spokane-area group to ever win a grant from the organization. “There is no doubt in my mind, sometime down the road, when more of our story has been written, Terrain will look back at this evening, and recognize it as the moment we became something greater,” Ewing told the audience at the ceremony in Seattle when she accepted the grant. The grant, delivered over the course of three years, will help Terrain realize its goal of influencing the arts in the region through more programming, and also provides the previously all-volunteer group with the ability to add its first paid employee. “With all the volunteers and the thousands of people who’ve come through and bought a beer or bought a piece of art — we realize there’s been a lot of selflessness from a lot of people. It makes this gift feel like it’s for the whole community, because people take so much ownership in [Terrain],” says Baumgarten of the grant. As the organizers put it, there’s an educational aspect to Terrain. At Bazaar, which last year saw more than $60,000 in sales by the end of the day, that comes for just about everyone who attends, as Terrain tries to show that buying art helps a community as a whole. There’s also some inspiration to be found from the “emerging artists,” as the Terrain team refers to the many people who participate in an event like Bazaar. As Terrain builds toward something even greater, it’s clear they take some inspiration from these folks, too. “We’re dedicated to building a more vibrant, stronger emerging arts community here in the Inland Northwest,” says Sanchez. “We want to create a way for us to do that, and it takes a lot of people and energy to do that.” n mikeb@inlander.com Bazaar • Sat, June 18, from 11 am to 10 pm • Post Street and Spokane Falls Boulevard • Free; beer garden and food trucks on site • See the list of participating artists and craftspeople at bit.ly/Bazaar2016Catalog

Geocaching mixes nature and technology. young kwak photo

A TECHIE’S TREASURE HUNT

Thanks to technology, you no longer need a pirate’s map to search for hidden treasure. And while geocaching doesn’t lead to gold coins and precious jewels, it does lead to fortunes of its own. “[Geocaching is] a hi-tech hide-and-seek game where geocachers use a GPS or a smartphone to hide and find containers worldwide,” says Lisa Breitenfeldt, the owner of the Spokane Valley-based geocaching store Cache Cave. Geocachers hide containers of a variety of sizes, often containing logbooks and/or small toys or trinkets to trade, then post the cache’s coordinates on a geocaching website, the largest being geocaching.com. The first documented GPS-located cache dates back to 2000 in Beavercreek, Ore., and since then, nearly three million caches have been hidden across all seven continents. There’s even a cache hidden on the International Space Station. Breitenfeldt, who has been geocaching for 14 years, estimates there are between 3,000 and 4,000 caches hidden around the Spokane area. During Cache Cave’s three-day Filmed in Spokane Tour, some of those caches will be used to highlight Spokane’s movie history. On July 15, Cache Cave will launch “Night Vision Quest,” a collection of night caches focused on 1985’s Vision Quest, which was filmed at several Spokane high schools and local hangouts like Bigfoot Tavern and the Onion. On July 16, the locations of approximately 30 film-related caches will be published online. There will also be a Geocaching 101 class for newcomers or those looking to brush up on their skills at the kick-off event in Greenacres Park. And on July 17, Cache Cave will welcome geocachers and community members alike to a morning matinee of Benny & Joon at the Garland Theater, followed by the launch of a small Benny & Joon cache tour. The weekend is free to attend, but registration packages with extras like a T-shirt and priority seating at Benny & Joon are available for $18-$75 at cache-advance.com. The Filmed in Spokane Tour and other Cache Cave events aren’t your only opportunities for hi-tech hide-and-seek though, as geocaching lends itself to flexibility. “Geocaching is a great way to plan your own adventure,” Breitenfeldt says. “You can do it for 10 minutes, pick up an easy one on a roadside stop on your way to the grocery store, or you can plan a multi-day hiking or cross-country trip and find lots of caches that way. “That’s what makes it really unique. There’s something for everybody.”

SPOKATOPIA

If you’ve always wanted to try (insert outdoor activity here), chances are you can cross it off your bucket list at Spokatopia (July 9). At the outdoor adventure festival, participants can try stand-up paddleboarding, rock climbing, kayaking, geocaching, stand-up paddleboard yoga, disc golf, rafting and slacklining. There’s also a beer garden, live music, the Spokatopia Mountain Bike Jump Jam and the festival exhibitor area with more than 40 outdoor recreation-oriented booths. Cost: $5, plus class fees. spokatopia.com

SPOKANE TO SANDPOINT

You have to be picky when selecting your teammates for Spokane to Sandpoint (Aug. 26-27). Not only do you have to choose strong runners, but you also have to pick people who you won’t get sick of after 30 hours together. After all, that’s about how long it takes to run the 200.2-mile overnight relay. The current course record is 22:21:59, set by Manito Running Club in 2013. Think you and your friends can beat that? Visit spokanetosandpoint.com to register.

getaway to GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

Whether you can only spend a weekend away, or you’ve saved up your vacation time for a lengthy trip, Montana’s Glacier National Park is a worthy destination. The park’s 13 campgrounds and 1,009 sites mean there’s space for everyone, and with opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing, boating and guided tours. But it’s also understandable if you spend all your time simply taking in the incredible scenery, no filter necessary.

OPEN SOURCE FISH OFF

Grab your dad and your fishing gear, and head down to William’s Lake for the Open Source Fish Off (June 18). Spokane Riverkeeper Jerry White and local angler Josh Mills will present conservation ecology talks, and there will be a fish selfie competition. Fishing licenses and supplies will be available for purchase, and coffee, bagels and a light lunch will be provided. The event is free, but fees associated with Klink’s Resort still apply. klinksresort. com

SEALFIT 20x CHALLENGE and OBSTACLE DOMINATOR COURSE

No pain, no gain, right? Put that to the test during the SEALFIT 20x Challenge and Obstacle Dominator Course (July 9-10). On day one, SEALFIT staff will coach participants through 12 hours of pull-ups, pushups, sit-ups, squats, burpees and obstacles at an undisclosed location in Spokane. Check out the training protocol at sealfit.com. On day two, obstacle course pros Ben Greenfield and Hunter McIntyre will lead the Obstacle Dominator Course, which can be added onto the Sealfit 20x experience or completed on its own.

FREE STATE PARK DAY and FREE SWIM DAYS

Though $30 is a reasonable price for access to millions of acres of recreational lands across Washington, you can’t beat free.

GET OUT AND PLAY IN

Each year, summer brings a reprieve from the everyday, a chance to revisit old hobbies or try something new. For some, that means travelling. For others, volunteering. For Shane Collins, it means rock climbing. Collins started climbing in college and after completing his first climb, a route called Crunchy Frogs in Boise’s Black Hills, he was hooked and continued climbing after moving to Spokane. “It’s movement that you don’t get in any other type of sport,” he says, adding that it’s also a chance to marvel at the variety of scenery he sees while climbing. Though climbing is somewhat of a niche sport, it could soon become much bigger, as there are talks to add sport climbing to the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. But fear not; you don’t have to be an Olympic athlete or travel far to climb. You just need some equipment and the natural features of the Inland Northwest. For routes (climbs that require ropes), climbers should have a harness, rope, quickdraws, which connect to the bolt in the rock and a climber’s rope, and rubber climbing shoes, which give climbers better contact with the rock. For boulders (climbs that don’t require ropes), climbing shoes and a pad to cushion falls are necessary. Routes are great for climbers looking to learn to climb with a harness, get higher off the ground and learn anchor and belay systems. Bouldering, on the other hand, keep climbers closer to the ground and give them more freedom to move. Plus, Collins, who has been climbing for almost six years, says there’s more of a social aspect to bouldering, as multiple people can

The Inland Northwest offers countless opportunities to try your hand at rock climbing. work on one boulder at once. Collins suggests climbers visit John Shields Park (locals also refer to the area as Minnehaha or Beacon Hill), which features smaller boulders of a wide range of difficulty. McClellan and Tumtum are also recommended because of their proximity to the city and the variety available. “You can go there after work or have a day session there, but they’re also great to stay a weekend at,” he says. “They’re also great because they hold a lot of rock for a lot of different people.” Collins also recommends Leavenworth, the Bavarian-inspired town on the east slope of the north Cascades.

“The granite is probably second in the world to the Alps,” he says. “It’s a very crisp, sharp granite. You can spend years there and never get bored.” But it doesn’t matter where you start climbing, just as long as you give the sport a fair shot. Collins says many new climbers stop before they’ve really started because they become discouraged after falling, though that’s just part of being a climber. Local gyms and area outfitters offer lessons to get you started. “If you were able to climb everything, this wouldn’t be a fun sport,” Collins says. “Find the fun, really enjoy the moment of the climbs, then fail, do it again, fail, do it again.” n

The significance of gathering at the Spokane River goes back generations and is a sacred tradition for many Northwest tribes because the river gives life, love, hope and a sense of revitalization. The Gathering at the Falls Powwow is a cultural event providing the chance to celebrate the gifts the river provides, and to create or renew friendships. Dancers and singers, young and old, come from near and far to showcase their songs and their dance styles. The Powwow is Aug. 26-28 at Riverfront Park. Head to gatfpowwow.org/ for more details.

GO BACKYARD CAMPING

For some parents, packing up a weekend’s worth of essentials and taking their brood camping can be a little daunting, so pitch a tent a little closer to home. Children will still love the excitement of doing something out of the ordinary and sleeping outside. If no burn bans are in effect, use a fire pit and make hot dogs and s’mores, and tell some spooky stories. Leave your devices inside and enjoy being unplugged for a night. Families can form lifelong memories, all from their own backyard.

ENGAGE IN UNSTRUCTURED PLAY

Parents don’t have to have an activity scheduled for their children all of the time. In fact, the benefits of free play are widespread and well documented. It’s essential to development, fostering cognitive, physical, social and emotional well-being, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Hurried lifestyles and increased attention to enrichment activities come at the expense of free, child-centered play, so let kids be kids this summer. It’s a fun, cherished part of childhood, and their healthy development depends on it.

Take a scenic excursion on the North Pend Oreille Lions Club train, an hour-and-a-half ride between Ione and Metaline Falls, before the train rides come to a halt later this year. The train passes through the countryside, along steep cliffs, over trestles and through tunnels, offering stunning views that aren’t available from the road. Passengers will see beautiful natural vistas, historic structures, maybe even some wildlife. But be warned: The train has been “robbed” by Ma Cutter and her gang, looking for donations to support the historic Cutter Theatre in Metaline Falls. Since 1981, the North Pend Oreille Valley Lions Club and the Pend Oreille Valley Rail-

road have teamed up to operate several rides in summer and fall along the Pend Oreille River. Proceeds have benefited the local communities. Now the beloved train is in its last summer of operation due to the need for a costly, federally mandated inspection on the tracks. “It’s more than sad,” says Dick Norton, a Lions Club board member. It’s also been a much-loved pastime for the 11,000 people a year who have enjoyed the train rides. “Many, many of them are repeat riders,” Norton says. “They bring their kids and grandkids back every year.” Be sure to get your tickets soon. The trips often sell out early.

Featuring kinetic art and a parade of wacky, people-powered vehicles, the daylong Kinetic Fest in Coeur d’Alene celebrates all things innovative and audacious. The festival encourages attendees — kids and adults alike — to look at materials and imagine ways to use them differently. “When you’re around other people who are making amazing, creative things, you get inspiration to do the same,” says Barbara Mueller, CEO of nonprofit Gizmo-CDA, which organizes the event. “We wanted to create an

opportunity for that to take place in Coeur d’Alene.” Participants create vehicles using bicycle parts and whatever else they can dream up. The parade will also feature juggling, a tuba band, a kazoo band and more. Kids are invited to decorate their bicycles or tricycles and don costumes for the parade. The entry fee for kids is $5, and $30 for adults. Get geared up for the event at Kinetic Fest build days, which take place every Saturday leading up to the parade. A kids’ bike decorating day is slated for July 9. “It’s going to be a wonderful day to watch these kinetic contraptions go down the road,” Mueller says. “It will be an opportunity for people to see things they don’t normally get to see.” Kinetic Fest attendees can create new objects using reimagined toy parts at the mutant toy event, and help with interactive artwork that will ultimately be turned into a sculpture, among other attractions. “We have all kind of ways for adults and kids to be involved with building and making and being creative,” she says. The festival will include food booths, ice cream, popcorn and a beer garden for the adults. The event goes down from 10 am to 5 pm at McEuen Field July 10. Visit gizmo-cda.org for more info. n

A NIGHT AT THE BEACH

OK, there’s not exactly sand and sunshine inside the cozy confines of Spokane’s Knitting Factory, but the Maryland-bred duo Beach House’s music has always belied their sunny name, too. The synth-driven sounds created by singer/keyboardist Victoria Legrand and her keyboardist/guitarist partner Alex Scally can be downright chilly. But their songs, filling albums like 2012’s Bloom and last year’s double-dose of Depression Cherry and Thank Your Lucky Stars, are insistent and inviting, the very definition of “dream pop.” They play the Knitting Factory Aug. 9; visit sp.knittingfactory.com for info.

GET ANTS IN YOUR PANTS

One great thing about taking a roadie to a music festival is you get twice the fun — the joy of hitting the open road (for those of us who love the journey), and the party at the turnaround. The Red Ants Pants Music Festival July 28-31 in White Sulphur Springs, Montana, is a good reason to take the six-hour jaunt to the doorstep of the Lewis & Clark National Forest for camping and a roots-heavy soundtrack; this year highlighted by the likes of the Lone Bellow, the Mavericks, Dar Williams and Hayes Carll, among many more. Go to redantspantsmusicfestival.com for details.

KEEP IT CLASSY

There’s something about summertime and classical music that just makes sense. Lounging under a big sky and hearing epic swells of pieces that have stood the test of time is just so soothing, even for those of us who know little to nothing about classical. The annual Mozart on a Summer’s Eve shows at Manito Park are one ideal option, whether you splurge on table seating (complete with white tablecloths) or bring a chair or blanket to the lawn.

NEON FLASHBACK

Every decade seems to have its inevitable resurgence in popularity years after it’s passed, and musically speaking, it would seem the ’80s are alive and well in the Inland Northwest, judging by the touring artists coming our way this summer. Despite what some nostalgists might think, “the ’80s” isn’t a genre, and that’s ably illustrated by the bands coming our way this summer. In Duran Duran (Sept. 2) and Culture Club (Aug. 12, with Berlin and the English Beat), both playing at Northern Quest Resort & Casino, you have two of the pioneering MTV bands, both leaders of the so-called Second British Invasion, led by synth-driven, video-friendly acts. But while Culture Club is clearly out working the oldies circuit since they haven’t had a legitimate hit since 1983’s monster Colour By Numbers (not including Boy George’s solo stuff), Duran Duran has

continued releasing new music every few years, including last year’s solid Paper Gods, to praise from both critics and club DJs. Pat Benatar was equally vital to the early years of MTV as one of the few female faces filling the screen. She was more of a classic rock act than a flavor of the month, though, and now she tours with her husband, Neil Giraldo, delivering a steady diet of hits like “Shadows of the Night” and “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” and showcasing a still-strong mezzo-soprano voice that made her stand out from the New Wave lightweights in the ’80s. She plays Northern Quest Aug. 27. No one would argue that KISS’ best days were the ’80s, but taking off the makeup and playing poppy metal as bands like Bon Jovi, Ratt and Motley Crue got huge gave the aging theatrical rockers a much-needed boost after a few years of dwindling popularity and lineup changes. And KISS members aren’t dummies; after a successful ’80s run slowed down and

KISS plays the Spokane Arena on July 15. grunge wiped hair-metal off the radio and MTV, they reverted to their costumes and have pretty much toured that way ever since. KISS plays Spokane Arena July 15, in full regalia. Grunge, of course, had its roots in the ’80s as well, and it’s represented this summer in Spokane by the appearance of Chris Cornell, lead singer of Soundgarden. While that band had its biggest impact in the ’90s, some would argue that their best music was released the decade before via albums like 1988’s Ultramega OK and 1989’s Louder Than Love. Cornell, of course, had post-Soundgarden success with Audioslave, but here’s hoping he at least plays a few old Soundgarden chestnuts when he plays the Fox Theater July 20. Dolly Parton is another artist whose commercial heyday might have been the ’70s, but the ’80s did nothing to slow her down; that was when she expanded beyond country radio to become a movie star with flicks like 9

to 5. The title song went to No. 1 on the pop and country charts simultaneously in 1981, and started a string of hits that didn’t let up for years. Parton’s current tour, stopping at Northern Quest Sept. 22, is reportedly her last, and she’s returned to rootsy country, but I bet you’ll still hear some of those ’80s pop hits. And when it comes to ’80s pop hits, no one — and I mean no one — can hold a candle to Kenny Loggins. The man was unavoidable during the Reagan years, thanks to his omnipresence on soundtracks ranging from Top Gun to Footloose and the Sylvester Stallone arm-wrestling gem Over The Top (don’t see it). You literally couldn’t turn on a radio or MTV without seeing Loggins’ spindly body and beard (before beards were cool!), and on Sept. 14 you can relive the glory at the Spokane County Interstate Fair.

BROS YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO HANG WITH

Avett Brothers shows aren’t so much concerts as they are religious experiences — people who have never seen the North Carolina band tend to walk away converts after seeing the crew led by brothers Seth and Scott Avett delve into everything from traditional bluegrass hoedowns to full-on punk blowouts. They toy with genres, and any label you throw at them doesn’t stick beyond the next song. Joined by rootsy ass-kicker Grace Potter, the Avetts’ show at Northern Quest Resort & Casino July 19 marks a bold departure from classic-rock and country for the resort, and potentially the best outdoor show of the summer in the Inland Northwest. Visit northernquest.com for a full summer lineup.

HANGING WITH THE RIFF RAFF

AN OAKY FLAVOR

Alynda Lee Segarra is Puerto Rican and grew up in the Bronx, where she grew up loving doowop and Motown tunes. As a teenager, though, she roamed far and wide and eventually landed in New Orleans, a musical melting pot whose flavors spice up the songs on her brilliant 2014 album Small Town Heroes, a folk-rock collection led by Segarra’s immediately memorable voice and delivered under the name Hurray for the Riff Raff. You can catch Segarra and her Riff Raff band Aug. 1 at the Bartlett; visit thebartlettspokane.com for info and tickets.

MEET THE NEIGHBORS

Every year, the Festival at Sandpoint brings a diverse slate of music to the little North Idaho lakefront town, and while there’s always something to satisfy most music tastes, the laid-back atmosphere and picnic policy (ie., you can bring your own food and adult beverages) makes every show worthwhile, even if you’ve never heard of the headliner. This year between Aug. 4 and 14, they include country legend Emmylou Harris, the always-strong Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals, the grand finale show with the Spokane Symphony doing a summer-themed program, and more. Visit festivalatsandpoint. com for a full lineup and tickets.

A few years ago at the South by Southwest music conference, I checked out Baltimore-based duo Wye Oak on a friend’s recommendation, and I ended up seeing them five more times over the course of a week, so enamored was I with the sonic interplay between guitarist/singer Jenn Wasner and drummer/keyboardist Andy Stack. Their powerful tunes touch on everything from folk to noise-rock to psychedelia, and they are truly not to be missed. They play the Bartlett on July 11; visit thebartlettspokane.com for more info and tickets.

ROLLING AT THE RIVE

Dave Alvin is a rock ’n’ roll pioneer and historian. As guitarist and songwriter, he’s turned his prodigious skills into a career delving into rockabilly, folk, blues and country in addition to the old-school rock where he started. This summer, he’s leading Roots on the Rails, an Americana tour via railroad, that includes friends like the songwriter Eliza Gilkyson, steel-guitar master Cindy Cashdollar and more. The train stops in Spokane Aug. 23 for a show at Chateau Rive in the bottom of the Flour Mill building. Visit bozzimedia.com/chateau-rive for tickets and a full lineup of shows. n

Make it a point to see the group exhibit at Panhandle State Bank, and check out Sandpoint’s new Infini Gallery.

EAST, WEST AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN

Imagine if we focused more on what we have in common than what separates us. Love, fear, family, faith, sense of self, questions of belonging and knowing. You know, the big-picture stuff. In 2009, an American Episcopal priest serving in Cairo, Egypt, did just that when he formed Caravan, a nonprofit group that uses “the arts as a catalyst to bring people of diverse backgrounds and beliefs closer together toward building sustainable peace.” Seven years, 10 exhibitions, and numerous international cities later — London, Paris (where it opened shortly after the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January 2015), Cairo, New York City, Chicago — the latest Caravan art show is traveling to... Spokane. The Bridge, which runs through June 30 at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, features nearly 50 contemporary artists of varying faiths — Christian, Muslim, Jewish — from 15 countries. It’s work by artists like Nagla Samir whose “Eternally Humane” depicts overlapping hands encompassing a pregnant belly in a black-and-white photomontage bordered by intricate, brightly colored patterns you might find in Islamic art, but also in geometry, a universal language. It’s a potent reminder at a time of inflammatory political rhetoric and volatile events worldwide. Visit stjohns-cathedral. org/bridge-0.

OFFICIALLY BAZAAR

“Third Annual Bazaar” has a nice ring to it, making this event officially official. So mark your calendar. Look for 75+ booths of “kick-ass art and craft nestled between Riverfront and Huntington Parks,” according to organizer Ginger Ewing. All the art is local — paintings, prints, candles, clothes, something funky for Dad’s Day — much of it priced under $100. Have a local brew, grab a bite to eat, watch the Vaude Villians perform, and check out some cool art. Even if you’re just into the people-watching, the all-day June 18 event is a great way to welcome summer. Visit terrainspokane.com/bazaar.

SIP AND STARE

Step inside the mind of costume-designer/ artist Shannon Erwin for an unusual show of giant papier-mâché sculptures at Coeur d’Alene’s Emerge gallery July 8-Aug. 5. Most of Erwin’s work in Paper Novae Vitae, Latin for “paper’s new life,” were donated for use at area schools, art organizations and nonprofits, including a 12-foot-tall elephant, a huge set of fully functioning Groucho Marx mustachioed glasses, and a 5-foot-tall box of French fries. Visit emergecda.org.

The 13th Annual Prosser Art Walk & Wine Gala pairs the work of 30 Northwest artists with nearly as many wineries and breweries for a getaway that appeals to your palate and your palette. The July 16 event might be why you visit Prosser, yet the proximity to Walla Walla’s wine country and the Yakima River for fishing and boating give you plenty of reasons to make a weekend out of it. Tickets are $30 and cover tastings from places like Hogue Cellars and Kestrel Winery, as well the area’s two breweries — try the Palouse Porter from Whitstran Brewing — and a commemorative glass.

(July 28-Aug. 7) and finally the high-octane Bring It On! (Aug. 1821), all appearing at Central Valley High School’s Performing Arts Center. There are evening as well as Sunday matinee showtimes. Tickets and info at svsummertheatre.com.

theater MODERN SUMMERTIMES

The summer months are typically when most year-round theaters go dark. Starting about four years ago, however, The Modern Theater steadily began extending its seasons through the dog days and into the back-toschool season. This year, the July 4 weekend is the only time the theater goes quiet in both its Spokane and Coeur d’Alene locations, making it a summer-long option for evening entertainment. “Folks might be out on the lakes and rivers, hiking and biking and camping during the day, and when they’re looking for something later on to kick back and relax, to go out to dinner and maybe enjoy some air conditioning, live theater is the perfect thing to do,” says George Green, the Modern’s executive artistic director. Until June 26 you can catch Cole Porter’s Anything Goes at the Coeur d’Alene venue. Featuring classic songs like the title number and “I Get a Kick Out of You,” it’s a madcap, high-energy musical about a lovestruck ocean liner stowaway trying to woo an heiress away from her wealthy fiancé with the help of some colorful characters. That’s followed by a three-week run of Man of La Mancha (July 8-30) at the Modern

Spokane. This isn’t simply a musical interpretation of Don Quixote; it’s more of a reimagining in which the book’s author, Miguel de Cervantes, awaits trial by the Spanish Inquisition and reenacts the story of Don Quixote as a play within a play. “It’s another classic piece, yet we’re doing it with — excuse the cliché — a ‘modern’ twist,” says Green. “We’re staging it in a penitentiary. You’re going to see the the penitentiary commons area, the orange jumpsuits, you’re going to feel like there’s some gang activity. And essentially, the gist of the play within a play is the fact that Quixote has had massive drug abuse his whole life, so these are the visions that he’s having. It’ll be a Man of La Mancha that no one’s ever going to have seen before.” The third and final summer production, Dogfight, runs in Coeur d’Alene (July 29-Aug. 14). Green calls this 2012 musical about soldiers returning from war “the dark horse of the season.” “It’s a show that I’m really excited about — perhaps the show I’ve been most excited about the entire season. It’s got a love story, but it really builds on the pains of what happens when young soldiers go off to war.” Purchase tickets or check out curtain times, cast profiles and more at themoderntheater. org.

AQUATIC PROGRAMS FOR ALL AGES

Get your Shakespeare fix in Montana — or wait for the show to hit Liberty Lake and Spokane.

THE PARK’S THE PLACE

If you’re planning on taking a road trip to Yellowstone National Park or South Dakota’s Black Hills, you’ll likely pass through beautiful Bozeman, Montana. Which would be a perfect opportunity to see the roving acting troupe known as Montana Shakespeare in the Parks (MSIP) on their home turf. This summer they’ll stage their earliest seasonal performances of Richard III and The Comedy of Errors on alternating nights between June 15 and 25 near the Montana State University duck pond. Should you miss one or both of the plays during that run, they’ll be back again on Aug. 5 and 7 as part of the city’s Sweet Pea Festival in Lindley Park. “This will be the first time in MSIP’s 44-

year history that we’ll be bringing Richard III to our stage,” says artistic director Kevin Asselin. “It will fit right into what is already an active political year, reminding us how Shakespeare stays relevant even 400 years after his death.” The group’s full itinerary is at shakespeareintheparks.org. Admission to the plays is always free, so it won’t dent your vacation budget in the slightest. “Shakespeare in the Parks provides a great opportunity for family and friends to come together with a picnic and enjoy a night of free, professional theater,” says MSIP managing director Susan Miller. Still riding the staycation trend? You don’t have to miss out. Catch Richard III in Spokane’s Riverfront Park on Aug. 19 or The Comedy of Errors in Liberty Lake’s Pavillion Park on Aug. 20. n

Consider one of the tours put on by Spokane’s Parks and Recreation department.

SHRED A RIVER

Spokane’s Parks and Recreation department is hosting a series of kayak and canoe tours along the Spokane River over the summer. For a more laid-back trip while learning basic canoe skills, take a trip from Plese Flats to 9 Mile, or paddle down the Little Spokane River and keep your eye out for wildlife. If kayaking is your thing, there’s a series of events over the summer for all levels of experience, including a Kayak and Coffee Little Spokane River event. It’s just how it sounds: enjoy a cup of coffee at 8 am, and paddle on a kayak down the river while following a guide. It’s only $29 and occurs June 19, July 2 and Aug. 6. Visit the city’s website, spokanecity.org, or call 509-363-5418 for more details.

PADDLE A LAKE

It’s not quite walking on water, but standup paddleboarding is a close second. ROW Adventure Center is holding paddleboard lessons (presumably there’s more to it than standing and paddling) and then leading a tour of Lake Coeur d’Alene over the summer. Once you get your balance, you’ll be guided around part of the lake and learn about the region and its history. There are moonlight tours, too. The first morning lesson is July 16, then Aug. 13. The night lessons on the lake are July 19 and Aug. 18. Visit rowadventurecenter.com.

SANDPOINT BOAT FESTIVAL

If you’re interested in classic boats, you can’t miss the Sandpoint Idaho Classic and Antique Boat Show this year from July 8-10. It’s one of the premier boat shows in the Pacific Northwest. There will be a “Welcome Aboard” Party planned by the lake on Friday, July 8. Judging starts the next day and culminates in a boat parade for spectators. More details can be found at inlandempireacbs.net.

Look, everyone loves the City Beach at Lake Coeur d’Alene. The mile of shoreline in between the Coeur d’Alene Resort and North Idaho College is the go-to spot for a fun, inexpensive day at the lake in the Inland Northwest. On a nice day, the beach is smothered with people soaking in the sun and kids splashing in the water. A plane might land in the water at any given moment. The park behind the beach has a playground for the kids, a basketball court for the bros, and some shade for that one person in your group who can’t handle the sun. Good food and downtown shopping is a minute away. Or you can go for a hike to nearby Tubbs Hill and watch one of your daredevil friends jump off a cliff or something.

If you’re looking for a different beach experience, there are options, with some 76 lakes in a 50-mile radius in the Inland Northwest, says Peyton Scheller, spokeswoman for Visit Spokane. “You’re not hard-pressed to find a beach,” she says. Which lake or river has the right public beach for you? Here’s a few ideas. Spokane River: When considering nearby beaches, people often overlook the body of water that moves directly through downtown Spokane. For a nice swimming beach nearby, or a spot to launch your canoe or kayak, check out Boulder Beach Park in Spokane Valley, right next to the Centennial Trail. If Boulder Beach doesn’t suit you, there are dozens of other beaches on the river. Find them all at

rotating Flavors hand crafted daily in house Sandpoint’s City Beach gives you access to the water and the town. spokanewatertrail.org. Fish Lake: If it’s simplicity you want, head to Fish Lake near Cheney. There’s a nice sandy beach, and motorboats are not allowed, so the water is yours. You’ll have to share the water with some fish during the swim — the lake is filled with trout. Priest Lake: For people in Spokane, Priest Lake might be a little bit out of the way. But it’s worth it. Luby Bay and Reeder Bay campgrounds, on the west side of the lake, both have picnic areas, beach access and views of one of the most beautiful places in North Idaho. Lake Pend Oreille: What makes Lake Pend Oreille so stunning — the steep, rugged mountains bordering a massive body of water — also makes for a lack of swimming

beaches in the traditional sense. But there are a couple. There’s Sandpoint City Beach, similar to Coeur d’Alene’s beach in that it’s next to a more urban park. On the other end of the lake, there’s Beaver Bay, a nice, secluded swimming area in Farragut State Park. Lake Roosevelt: With roughly 600 miles of shoreline, there are plenty of beaches to explore whether you’re driving your car or arriving by boat, says Denise Bausch, chief of interpretation and education for the National Parks Service in the area. Fort Spokane, on the southern end of the lake, is one of the easiest to get to from Spokane. A former military fort (hence the name), now it’s a great place to lounge on the beach, cook up some barbecue or go on a hike.

AN ANNIVERSARY

Hill’s Resort on Priest Lake has cabins by the water with lakeside views, a recreational area outside and an outstanding bar and restaurant. The resort also happens to be celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. Teri Hill, special events coordinator for the resort, says every morning there will be a slideshow and memories from its 70-year history. There will be a 70th anniversary golf tournament at the Priest Lake Golf Course on June 27. Later in the summer, on Aug. 4, the resort will hold a traditional outdoor Baron of Beef buffet on the lawn, like it used to every Thursday. But with a beach, public launching ramps and boat rentals, Hill’s is always a great getaway option in the summer, and everyone is welcome to stop by, Hill says.

SWIM ACROSS A LAKE

The Long Bridge Swim, nearly 2 miles across Lake Pend Oreille alongside the Long Bridge in Sandpoint, is for competitive swimmers or children as young as 7. The event was founded by swimming enthusiast Eric Ridgway in 1995, when around 70 people showed up. Now, hundreds of people take part in the swim, and it keeps getting bigger every year, with more than 700 expected. This year, the swim will be held on Aug. 6.

Summer is not complete without taking in a Spokane Indians game.

MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PILGRIMAGE

To the bleacher bum, the father and son and the recent grads looking for open road adventure; to the baseball fanatic, the stat junkie and the kid with dreams of playing under the lights at Seattle’s Safeco Field: We’ve done it. Below you’ll find two loops for the perfect baseball road trips spanning four states and two countries. But you don’t have to use our suggestions. All these stadiums are within striking distance of Spokane, so you can build your own trip.  Start at Spokane’s own Avista Stadium (home of the Spokane Indians) and head northwest to Nat Bailey Stadium (Vancouver Canadians), one of Minor League Baseball’s most historic parks. It’s all downhill from there. Head south to Everett Memorial Stadium (Everett AquaSox) and continue to Cheney Stadium (Tacoma Rainiers). Next it’s Oregon’s Ron Tonkin Field (Hillsboro Hops), Volcanoes Stadium (Salem-Keizer Volcanoes) and PK Park (Eugene Emeralds). Then back up to Washington for a game at Gesa Stadium (Tri-City Dust Devils) and back to Spokane. Total estimated drive time: 21.5 hours, accord-

ing to Google Maps.  Here’s another option: Start at Avista Stadium and head south to Gesa Stadium (TriCity Dust Devils). Then down to Memorial Stadium (Boise Hawks) and over to Melaleuca Field (Idaho Falls Chukars). Next you’re going up into Montana to Kindrick Legion Field (Helena Brewers), Centene Stadium (Great Falls Voyagers) and Ogren Park at Allegiance Field (Missoula Osprey). Then back to Spokane. Total estimated drive time: 22 hours, according to Google Maps.

CO-ED VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT

Yes, we all know about Hoopfest (June 25 and 26), the biggest freakin’ 3-on-3 basketball tournament in the world. But don’t forget about its little cousin: Spokane Spike and Dig, a massive 6-on-6 co-ed volleyball tournament. The event at Dwight Merkel Sports Complex on July 3031 typically draws more than 300 teams and accommodates all skill levels. You can register online at spikeanddig.com. Fees range from $190 to $220. The deadline to register is July 20.

Swing for the fences at the Spokane Wiffle Ball Classic.

SPOKANE WIFFLE BALL CLASSIC

If you hit it onto the roof, that’s a double, unless the other team catches it. Then you’re out. Over the fence is a home run, off the fence is a triple. First base is the birdbath. Second is the big bush behind the pitcher and third is the shed. The strike zone is marked with a lawn chair. Everybody’s rules are a little different, but in my family there is hardly an event more quintessentially summer than a backyard Wiffle Ball game. A couple of Spokane guys feel the same way. Darren Case and Dana Richardson were at a memorial horseshoe tournament for a friend several years ago, and between tosses (and sips of beer), the two decided to start a similar event, but with Wiffle Ball. This year will be the seventh-annual Spokane Wiffle Ball Classic. Each year, the proceeds are donated to a different cause. This year’s funds support the Bread Tie Challenge, a grassroots effort to eliminate the stigma of mental illness and suicide started by family and friends of a former Spokane Community College baseball player. “We selfishly started it because we love Wiffle Ball, but then it turned into let’s raise some money for some

other people, and have some fun,” Case says. Here are their rules: The games last four innings, and each team gets two outs per inning. A walk takes you to second base, and every member of the team has to pitch once per game. Four players are on the field at one time, and the ball-in-hand rule is in effect, meaning if the pitcher has the ball before the runner makes it to first, it’s an out. The fences are 100 feet from the plate (dead center at Safeco Field is about 400 feet, for comparison), and the pitcher throws from 44 feet away (37 feet if you’re 45 or older). Anyone 12 and up can play. The event typically draws between 12 and 15 teams, but Case says he’d like to see it grow. “We’ll make it as big as it can get,” he says. “If we had more people, we could put on other events like a home run derby.” This year’s tournament is Aug. 27 at Assumption Parish School. Sign up for the event online at spokanewiffleballclassic.com. Entry fee is $40-$50/person depending on the size of your team. Bonus: All-you-can-eat hot dogs, sausages and chips are provided. The beer and water is also unlimited.

CALL TO ARMS

A nano bot virus went airborne and infected all the computer chips in the world. Cell phones, military equipment and combatant “robots” dressed in protective gear have taken over the world. Armed with a rifle and a pistol, it’s up to you to find the antivirus and deliver it to, well, the Cabela’s in Post Falls. Teams of up to five people navigate through shooting courses, obstacle courses and escape rooms. Weapons are loaded with non-lethal, plastic-tip rounds — the same ones used by law enforcement for training purposes. The maze is set up this weekend (June 17 and 18) at the Cabela’s in Post Falls. The registration fee is $59 for individual players or $250 for teams of five, plus each person has to buy a box of ammunition for 30 bucks. If you can’t make it this weekend, you’ll have more chances in Boise (July 22 and 23), Salt Lake City (Aug. 26 and 27) or Portland (Sept. 23 and 24).

MAKE YOUR OWN MACKLEMORE VIDEO

This summer, demand Macklemore, not Mackle-less. Last summer, Macklemore finally found the path to popularity: filming a video in downtown Spokane. Grab your trusty camcorder, head downtown, and you too could follow in their footsteps. You could redo “Downtown” with your own, more reasonably modest budget. Don’t have a moose motorcycle? No problem. Just bungee-cord the head of a Rudolph the RedNosed Reindeer lawn display onto your BMX bike. You could also take on “Thrift Shop.” There’s a Value Village near the Spokane Arena, albeit one where the decision to “pop some tags” is highly frowned upon. (We generally do not recommend you try to film a music video for the nine-minute “White Privilege II.”) Or strike out out on your own, following your own mad artistic vision, and create your own viral video downtown in order to get tens — maybe even dozens! — of hits. After all, a few viral YouTube stars hail from Spokane. Sketch duo Barats and Bereta? They attended Gonzaga University. The

Remember, achieving the wild success of today’s American Dream relies less on hard work and raw talent, and more on filming yourself laughing in a Chewbacca mask. You’ve got the camera. You’ve got the starryeyed visions of fame and fortune. Now all that’s left to do is hit “record.”

EYE IN THE SKY

Pretty much anything is a good reason to make your way up to Sandpoint, North Idaho’s idyllic lakeside town full of giant ice cream cones. And Eye in the Sky, showing June 18-19 at the Panida Theater, is as fine as an excuse as any other. The final film from beloved villain Alan Rickman, Eye in the Sky is a British thriller centering around the moral and psychological implications of drone warfare.

film

Bill and Ted are back where they belong — on the big screen, Aug. 18, at Olmstead Park in Kendall Yards.

SUDS AND CINEMA

The Inlander’s “Suds and Cinema” series is back. This time, we’ve brought our friends Bill and Ted (and Genghis and Socrates and Joan of Arc) on a most excellent adventure. Specifically, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, featuring Keanu Reeves before he went on his murderous John Wick killing spree. The movie will be held at Olmstead Park on Thursday, Aug. 18 (Friday, Aug. 19 if it rains). The event, featuring Orlison beer for those of age, starts at 7 pm, while the movie starts at 8:30.

DRIVE-IN AT JOE ALBI

The old-fashioned days of drive-in movies live on at Joe Albi Stadium this summer. Buy advanced tickets at nwoutdoormovies.com. The movies start at dusk. Our recommendation is Aug. 16, when the featured film is Jurassic World. The key is to bring a glass of water, set it on the dashboard, and subtly jiggle it whenever the T-rex is approaching.

MAX OUT ON IMAX

While some of the details for Riverfront Park’s massive renovations are still up in the air, there’s a good chance that this is your last opportunity to see IMAX’s massive movies at Spokane’s iconic park before the theater is demolished as part of the park’s rehab. As a kid, nothing was quite as awesome-wicked-sweet as watching the IMAX cameras soaring through the Grand Canyon as the screen engulfs your entire vision. You could feel your stomach drop as the camera did. Recapture that magic, or share that magic with kids of your own. You’ve got (probably) one last shot to marathon through all Riverfront Park’s IMAX movies before the (possibly) approaching wrecking ball. Check my.spokanecity.org/riverfrontpark/attractions/imax for details weekly. Storm the beaches of D-Day Normandy 1944 if you’re a world history buff, or take the trek with Lewis and Clark: Great Journey West if you’re more into local history.

with the insane fact that man can fly in metal machines. Think about that for a while. You could travel the world with Journey to the South Pacific or ascend to the top of it in the IMAX classic Everest. As for me?

Ah, summer. The days of pickup baseball games, public pool swimming and being chased by a giant terrifying dog. No movie captures that summer trifecta quite like The Sandlot. Catch the movie on June 22. Find out who the Sultan of Swat really was and why people keep telling you “You’re killing me, Smalls” whenever you tell them you haven’t seen The Sandlot.

Starting June 20, on Mondays through Fridays at 9:30 am, the Garland Theater shows free kids movies. Yes, one of those movies is the painful-sounding Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Road Chip, but on July 4-8, they’re showing Shaun the Sheep Movie, from the brilliant Nick “They’re the wrong trousers, Gromit!” Park.

The Spokane Valley Cycle Celebration is set for July 31, presented by Valleyfest.

A RIDE THROUGH THE VALLEY Peggy Doering wants you to know that the Valley isn’t just highways, concrete and subdivisions. “When you get out here, we have safe places to ride and you are with nature,” says Doering. “You are in God’s world out here. It’s beautiful.” The Spokane Valley Cycle Celebration offers serious cyclists (or those just wanting to get more comfortable riding a bike) the opportunity to explore the semi-rural areas surrounding Spokane Valley as part of a safe, supported event. Held July 31 as part of Valleyfest (Doering is the executive director), Cycle Celebration offers 10-mile, 25-mile and 50-mile marked routes. Doering says that comfort stations are set up along each route, where riders can recharge with water and snacks. Each ride starts at Mirabeau Park Meadows. The 10-mile course heads east on the

Centennial Trail, and Doering says that this ride might be good for someone new to cycling or who wants to bring their kids along. The 25-mile ride goes to the Saltese Uplands trailhead. The 50-mile ride is the most strenuous; Doering says it takes riders through rolling hills and prairie while providing them with views of both Mica Peak and Mt. Spokane before finishing at Liberty Lake. Registration costs $20 for adults and comes with a cycling T-shirt. Each of the routes will be swept of debris, and volunteers are on hand to make sure no one gets lost or left behind. Back at Mirabeau Point Park, there’s a bike rodeo, a taco truck, live music and candy for the kids. At the end of the event, Doering hopes that participants have a better appreciation of cycling in the Valley. “We have a lot of bike lanes that are built into our street structure, and we want people to enjoy what we have,” she says.

bikes If you don’t have a bike, you can rent one. If you’re bringing your own, a mountain bike is definitely preferable, but a sturdy road bike with studded tires will work fine. Also be sure to bring a jacket and front bike light for the chilly and dark tunnels you’ll be traveling through. If you want to make a night or weekend of it, the area is next to the Lolo National Forest, and there are primitive campsites along Loop Creek and the North Fork of the St. Joe River. If you’re looking for something a little more upscale, there’s the North Fork Campground, Turner Flat Campground, Campground St. Regis or Tin Can Flat Campground that are all more groomed and have amenities, but charge fees. There are also hotels in nearby Mullan and Wallace.

The Hiawatha Bike Trail runs along a former train track and connects Idaho and Montana.

RIDING THE RAILS… ON A BIKE

Columbia Plateau State Park Trail is a 4,109-acre park that stretches 130 miles from the Fish Lake Trailhead outside of Cheney all the way to Pasco. The trail is built along the route of a railway where trains once chugged through Eastern Washington. Now, it’s a way to check out places such as the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, as well as some of Eastern Washington’s more underappreciated and remote landscapes. It’s also a good way to watch wildlife such as deer, elk, moose and 200 species of birds, while also catching an up-close look how the Missoula Floods

84 INLANDER JUNE 16, 2016

shaped the region thousands of years ago. There are 48 miles of developed bike routes along the trail, so if you’re planning on going on a longer ride, bring your mountain bike or get some more rugged tires. Because it was a train track, bring along a bike light so you can find your way in the tunnels. For a casual day trip, there’s a 15-mile bike route near Ice Harbor Dam that runs alongside the Snake River. If you’re more into mountains, then head east for the Route of the Hiawatha Bike Trail. It’s a 15-mile bike route connecting Idaho and Montana that also runs along a train track and provides rare views of the heavily wooded area from its trestles.

PEDAL THE PALOUSE

If you are an enthusiast of both lentils and bikes, the Tour de Lentil Bike Ride, held in conjunction with the National Lentil Festival in Pullman on Aug. 20, should be on your to-do list this summer. The length of the ride (not race) ranges from 50 kilometers (31 miles), 100 kilometers (62 miles), or 150 kilometers (93 miles) and takes riders through the wave-like landscape of the Palouse. If you’re looking for something a bit more casual, the Bill Chipman Palouse Trail is an abandoned railway that’s been turned into a 7-mile bike and pedestrian path connecting Pullman with Moscow through rolling fields of wheat. If you’re coming from Pullman and feeling ambitious, take the Latah Trail from Moscow another 11 miles farther to Troy.

GO RIDE IN THE STREETS

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if cars suddenly vanished from the streets, opening them up to bikes, pedestrians and other human-powered means of transportation? Well, it’s happening June 21 from 6-9 pm, as part of the Spokane Summer Parkways. During these hours, a loop of city streets connecting Manito Park to Comstock Park will be cut off entirely from cars, allowing people to leisurely pedal or stroll through them without having to worry about traffic.

LOST AND FOUND

Summer is a time for bike riding. It’s also a time for bike stealing. If you’re smart, now is the time for bike registering. Last year, the city of Spokane developed SpokaneBikeID.org as a way to reunite stolen bicycles with their owners. Spokane police routinely recover lost or stolen bikes, but have no way of finding their rightful owners. With the registry, users enter their contact information as well as the serial number and description of their bike, so police can return it should it go missing. If you don’t have access to the internet, drop by your local Spokane C.O.P.S. shop.

GIRLS CLUB

Let’s be honest: Riding bikes can be kind of a boys’ club, right? That’s not the case at Princess Pedalfest, where participants can “Ride like a Princess, Conquer Like a

Queen,” according to the event’s slogan. The noncompetitive women’s bike ride will be held Aug. 6 in Hayden, Idaho. There are three different rides, of 25, 45 and 60 miles. Along each ride are “motivation stations” with snacks and beverages. Each participant gets a T-shirt, swag bag and catered lunch. Get details at princesspedalfest.com.

If you’re looking for a more spirited pace, a group meets up at 6 pm on Tuesdays behind Vertical Earth at 1323 E. Sherman Ave. to ride a mountain bike course. On Mondays, a women-only group meets up at the shop at 6 pm.

SOCIAL CYCLING IN NORTH IDAHO

On June 21, the sun will hang in the sky longer than it will any other day of the year. So why not enjoy the longest day with a 13-mile ride through North Idaho? The Ride the Wall event is a 13-mile bike course that follows the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes from the Snake Pit to Cataldo before turning onto the CCC-Wall Ridge route and finishing with some barbecue. The $35 registration will benefit the Fuller Center for Housing, a nonprofit that builds and renovates housing for the needy. The 18th annual 8 Lakes Leg Aches Bike Ride takes place on Aug. 6; all routes start and finish at Group Health Corporate Office at 5615 W. Sunset Hwy. in Spokane. The $50 entry fee benefits Lutheran Community Services Northwest programs, specifically efforts to support victims of sexual assault or family trauma. Riders can participate in a 15-mile, 30-mile, 45-mile or 75-mile ride. The event ends with coffee and ice cream. n

If you like social bike rides after work, North Idaho is a good place to be. If you don’t want to huff and puff to keep up with the leader of the pack, there are several “no drop” bike rides that take place each m ore events week. On Tuesdays, Visit Inlander.com for one group meets up at complete listings of 6 pm at Coeur d’Alene local events. Bike Co. on 314 N. Third St. The group usually rides for about an hour or so before concluding at a pub or eatery for a well-deserved pint. Road bikes are encouraged for the Tuesday ride, but if mountain biking is more your thing, there’s a similar ride that starts each Wednesday at 6:15 pm at the Nettleton Gulch parking area. If you can’t make Tuesdays, there’s another group that meets up at 6:30 pm on Thursday at the same location.

Chart your own course with Fruit of the Vine tours, running out of Benton City, Washington.

HOW PURPLE IS YOUR VALLEY? About a two-hour drive away from Spokane, the Tri-Cities may not be a wild vacation hotspot, but the region certainly knows wine. It turns out the area has the same latitude as the Burgundy and Bordeaux regions of France and features stellar soil conditions and temperatures for winemaking. Today, there are more than 200 wineries within a 50-mile radius, many of them award-winning. There’s no way you can see all of the Tri-Cities wineries in a day, but for a weekend stay, along with your favorite crew, you could do some damage to your checklist. It’s easy to get intimidated during a wine tasting. Everyone else seems to know exactly what they’re doing, and there’s all of that sniffing and swirling of the glass. Perhaps you’re a beer person. That’s OK. No one cares if you can catch a faint note of strawberries in one sip or a hint of oak in the next. The point of a tasting is to find something you like, that you’d like to drink again at home with friends and good food and laughter. Making that process easier for you is the Visit Tri-Cities wine trail, which includes 49 wineries throughout Kennewick, Richland, Pasco and beyond. (Be sure to check out Tagaris Winery for some especially tasty patio music.) For folks who want to do things the classy way (or have no plans to drive), multiple charter companies are more than happy to shuttle you around. You could travel in a limo (Aspen Limo & Tours) or trolley (Fruit of the Vine Tours) or even a short bus (Wineries Express). For those who like to mix their alcohol with knowledge, the Ste. Michelle Wine Estates Washington State University Wine Science Center, which opened just last year, can help you understand the process of making wine. For tours of the building, be sure to call

ahead at 372-7223. The Tri-Cities also has brewery and distillery options, so it wouldn’t have to be all wine, all weekend. The point is that you explore a new region with a glass in hand and sun on your face.

PICNIC AND A SONG

At the Festival at Sandpoint, held every summer at War Memorial Field, you can certainly purchase alcohol, but unlike most other music festivals, you can also actually bring in your own adult beverages — as long as you’re 21 or over. The outdoor community festival, Aug. 4-14, continues to bring top-tier talent to the small North Idaho lakeside town. This year’s lineup includes Ben Harper and Emmylou Harris, as well as classical and family concerts. Prices range from $6 to $70 per ticket depending on the show. Remember, you can pack in a large picnic basket full of items to eat and drink. A box of wine is superb for this event; it’s less messy on a blanket spread when paired with the grapes, bread, cheese and popcorn you packed along. If you’re looking for a new recipe to share with friends, we suggest gin in a can. Start with an old coffee can or canning jar. Muddle some mint at the bottom of the container, fill it about half full with ice, then dump in two frozen lemonade concentrate cans and two concentrate containers full of gin. Sprinkle the ice with powdered sugar, place a lid on the container and shake for 15 minutes (this is great for your arms). All of this can be done prior to arrival at the festival. Once there, simply pour the beverage into plastic cups to share, or pass the can around.

drink WITH A PUFF OF SMOKE

Sometimes you just want to feel like an old man — specifically one who smokes cigars and sips a mean scotch. And with the Scotch & Cigars event at Prohibition Gastropub on North Monroe going down every Thursday, that feeling is just a sip and a puff away. Show up in your best smoking jacket (optional) for a flight of whiskey, scotch or bourbon, as selected by you, paired with a recommended cigar from Cigar Train. No, there isn’t any smoking inside, but luckily the patio is heated. Price ranges from $15 to $25 and the event goes from 6-10 pm.

Perry Street Brewing is just one of many stops along the Ale Trail.

STAMP IT GOOD

Every time we turn around, it seems there’s a new brewery opening in the Inland Northwest. It’s up to you to decide which are the best by testing them all, and the Inland Northwest Ale Trail is a great way to take that job seriously. First, pick up a map at any of the local breweries and plot your course. You only need to get 12 stamps to receive a 32-oz. mini growler. But why stop there? You have all summer. There are many recommendations here, you can bike from spot to spot

young kwak photo

throughout downtown Spokane (where many breweries are clustered), or bike from Coeur d’Alene to Spokane if you’re especially wild. But we recommend taking your time. Take a lazy car ride every Sunday to a new spot. Start with North Idaho and work your way down to the Pullman/Moscow area. Beer is far more enjoyable when sipped and savored. Be sure to get a stamp on your map from each location; by the end of the summer, be able to say you’ve tasted them tall.

BEERFOOT IN THE PARK

Liberty Lake’s Pavillion Park does its best impression of Germany this summer for the Barefoot in the Park celebration, Aug. 5-7. Hosted by the Liberty Lake Kiwanis, this year’s event, for only the second time, includes a beer garden, which will feature beers from the local English Setter and Bellwether Breweries. While the beer garden, hosted at the park tennis courts, is 21 and over, the event is all-ages and includes the Barefoot 3v3 Soccer Tournament & Festival, as well as a car show (open to all cars) Friday night, and even live music from local cover acts like the Ryan Larsen Band. The beer garden is open from 4-7 pm Friday and Saturday.

Mont Lamm Events hosts monthly farm-to-table dinners.

FOODIES AT THE FARM

Get out of the city heat and enjoy a night at the farm, with food and fresh air aplenty. Located an easy 20-minute drive from the far northern city limits of Spokane, Mont Lamm Events in Clayton, Wash., (7501 Enoch Rd., just past Deer Park off Highway 395) invites the public to its monthly Farm to Table dinners, with three scheduled through this summer; on June 19, July 17 and Aug. 14. Each of the five-course, locally sourced dinners are created around a theme, with the menu and cooking overseen by a regional guest chef. For June’s meal, Chef LJ Klink is overseeing a menu highlighting trout, with drink pairings from Spokane’s River City Brewing Co. and Liberty Ciderworks. Spokane Riverkeeper Jerry White is also on the June event’s schedule to educate guests on the importance of protecting the river so that current and future generations can enjoy fish sourced from its waters. “The whole heart behind [the series] is, first of all, Deer Park is a food desert and that’s where we live closest to, and there is one grocery store,” explains Mont Lamm co-owner Shannon Siemen, who owns the farm and event center with husband Sean. “We want people to know there are a lot of farms in the area that sell great products, and they’re no more expensive than the grocery store.” That said, the Mont Lamm dinner series only feature ingredients sourced within 50 miles of the farm, mainly from Heron Pond, Foote Hills and Urban Eden farms, along with other specialty food providers in that 50-mile radius. The Siemens first had the idea for the farm-to-table series years ago after hosting similar dinners with friends when they still lived inside Spokane city limits. “We started preparing food from the garden in our yard, and guests could only bring things grown on their yard or property,” Shannon says. The first of the series’ dinners was hosted at Mont Lamm last December. The couple plan to continue hosting the series monthly for eight months of the year. Meals are served inside Mont Lamm’s barn-turned-event venue — it mostly hosts weddings this time of year — along two long, family-style tables that in total seat 60 attendees. July’s “Red, White and Brew” dinner takes on a patriotic theme, with a barbecue-centric menu also prepared by Chef Klink. During the height of summer’s heat in August, the farm-to-table dinner is all about courses that are cool and crisp. Tickets for all three summer events can be purchased online ($25 ages 14 and under; $65/adults) at montlammfarmtotable.com.

Iron Chef Cat Cora (left) and Antonia Lofaso of Top Chef fame are showing off their culinary skills at two separate events at Coeur d’Alene Casino.

CULINARY CELEBS

As part of the Coeur d’Alene Casino’s second annual Farm to Fork food series, two notable cooking personalities are coming to share their tips and tricks in the kitchen: Top Chef’s Antonia Lofaso, for a July 10 event,

and Chef Cat Cora of Iron Chef, on Aug. 14. During the day, shop a local farmers market in the resort’s Chinook Meadow, starting at 10 am. Then cap off the evening (7 pm) watching a culinary mastermind prepare some

tasty bites live on stage. For Chef Cora’s visit, a limited number of VIP packages are offered that include a wine dinner with the celeb chef. Details and ticket prices at cdacasino.com/farmtofork.

MOONLIGHT SNACK

Escape the midweek humdrum for an evening in the picturesque lakeside town of Sandpoint, and head out on the water with Lake Pend Oreille Cruises. While there are many weekly and special cruise options to choose from throughout the summer, foodies won’t want to miss the three evening-time Full Moon and Hors d’oeuvres Cruises offered June 19, July 19 and Aug. 17. Boarding at Sandpoint City Beach, the adults-only lake cruise offers complimentary snacks while gliding across the waters aboard the Shawnodese. Passengers have a good chance of spotting bald eagles in their lakeside habitat before the moon rises above the Cabinet Mountains. Reservations are recommended, and there’s a 15-person minimum for the vessel to leave the dock. Tickets are $36; find out more at lakependoreillecruises. com. Also, since the two-hour cruises return after dark, plan to stay the night in Sandpoint, checking out the town’s praised culinary and arts scene the following day.

TASTING COEUR D’ALENE

Making at least one trip to Coeur d’Alene is basically a summer must-do for residents of the Inland Northwest, no matter what part of the region you call homebase. Whether going for a day on the water, to dine, shop, or for a specific event, there’s plenty of reasons to

make the drive. Conveniently, the first weekend of August wraps up all of these things in one big package, with Art on the Green, the Coeur d’Alene Street Fair, and Taste of the Coeur d’Alenes. The latter festival is host to more than 250 food booths, sort of like the Lake City’s version of Pig Out in the Park, Spokane’s street food fest over Labor Day weekend. With a beer garden, live music and kids’ activities, the event takes over Independence Point, between the Coeur d’Alene Resort and City Park, from Aug. 5-7.

FRUIT FEST

To complete your summertime bucket list of eating through the Inland Northwest, you’d be remiss not to make a trip or two up to Green Bluff, where the orchards and fields are full of juicy, sweet harvests. During the end of June and early July, the Strawberry Celebration takes over the fields, with tons (literally) of you-pick and pre-picked berries for sale. A few weeks later, branches are dripping with ruby red gems during Cherry Season, celebrated during the last three weekends of July. The moment many fruit lovers wait for all year, Peach Season, begins in mid-August and runs until Labor Day. Beyond the ripe fruit, get your fill of cobbler, ice cream, cakes, pies and more.

FOOD TREAT YO’SELF

When the temps get into the 90s, who can resist the urge for something cold and sweet? Once you imagine how the sugary, icy goodness coats your tongue in a cool, creamy embrace, there’s no denying it — you need ice cream. Lucky for us all, the options to enjoy the season’s favorite indulgence have impressively expanded across the Inland Northwest since last summer, adding to the list of tried-and-true, local staples. Just in time for summer, the creative ice cream purveyors at Brain Freeze Creamery debuted both their mobile ice cream truck — look for the navy-and-orange vehicle at events and farmers markets around the area — and a new South Hill location, at 1230 S. Grand Blvd., replacing a spot farther south. The creamery’s original Kendall Yards retail space remains another spot to grab a cone on a hot day. Over in North Idaho, the Lake City recently welcomed not one, but two, new ice cream spots for locals and lake-goers alike to treat themselves. Small batch, locally-sourced ice cream at the new Abi’s Ice Cream (112 N. Fourth St.) comes in flavors like coffee toffee chip and brown sugar ginger caramel swirl. Plus, it’s all made fresh in-house daily. Also new to town in Coeur d’Alene, is Montanabased Sweet Peaks Ice Cream (108 N. Fourth), which opened in April just across the street from Abi’s (no one’s judging if you hit up both in the same day). With its milk and cream coming from the Big Sky state, Sweet Peaks’ owners focus on creative, local ingredient combos, like an ice cream made with a regional beer.

Sort of like ice cream in disguise — because it’s not actually ice cream, though its characteristics are a pretty good stand-in — is the shaved ice at 40 Below in North Spokane. At the Five Mile Shopping Center (1902 W. Francis), the “snow fluff” spot serves up flavored, frozen hemp milk (which is gluten- and lactose-free) in a variety of flavors, with fruit and candy toppings galore. Snow fluff is a dessert hybrid somewhere between froyo and ice cream, and it’s actually pretty low-calorie — a bonus if the aforementioned options seem too indulgent.

QUICK, COOL & GOOD FOR YOU

Since it’s not exactly reasonable or healthy to eat ice cream every day to cool down, here’s a better way to satisfy those cravings for icy treats, without all the extra fat and calories. Pre-made smoothie mixes are stupidly easy to make at home, and putting them together in advance cuts down on time and the need to always keep fresh ingredients around the house. Buy in bulk whatever types of fruit and veggies you like best (fresh or frozen) and a box of quart-size sandwich bags. Then, simply parse out a handful or so of each ingredient into the baggies, sealing them tight when done. Don’t worry if you Prepare your summer smoothies smash the contents — it’s in batches ahead of time. going into a blender, after

all. When you’re feeling hot and thirsty, grab a premade pack, toss it all in the blender and add water, juice, soymilk, coconut water, etc. Voila! You’ve got a cold and healthy summer treat to enjoy in the backyard, in less than five minutes. Good for a snack, or even a meal replacement. Try my personal favorite combo, as follows: a good handful of fresh spinach; 5-6 strawberries, half a banana, cut into discs; a half-cup of pineapple and a dollop of vanilla yogurt (Greek or regular, whatever you prefer). Add water, orange juice or a combination of the two before blending. Pro tip: If the frozen ingredients are too clumped together to blend, try leaving the pack on the counter for a few minutes to let it soften.

DINE EN PLEIN AIR

If you’re not battling wasps, flies or mosquitoes, dining outdoors whenever possible is the way to go during summer’s quick run. The restaurants of downtown Spokane are a great place to start — for any occasion — and several spots are offering new or remodeled outdoor dining options starting this season. Opening late last June, the Blackbird Tavern + Kitchen just north of the Spokane River boasts a sizeable patio that’s pleasantly shaded by its home, the Broadview Dairy building, in the late afternoon and evening, and romantically lit by strung lights after dark. Also north of the river, the cozy, 36-seat Ruins recently added a handful of tables to a new patio space on the backside of the building, slightly expanding summer capacity at the popular, no-reservations spot. In the heart of downtown, 24 Taps Burgers & Brews is now serving on its new, covered patio right on the corner of Lincoln and Riverside. n

TV PREACHER

for your consideration By Mitch Ryals

Dominic Cooper (center) stars as a cursed man of God in AMC’s Preacher.

MC’s Preacher (9 pm, Sundays) loves to bask in its blood and blasphemy. There are moments of vicious violence. A chainsaw fight with a vampire results in quite a few limbs being hacked off. There are instances of gross-out immaturity. The character design for “Arseface” would feel more at home in the first season of South Park than in prestige television. There are also moments of needless cruelty. In the pilot, preacher Jesse Custer is blessed (or cursed) with the power to speak with the “Word of God,” forcing listeners to follow his commands to the letter. He tells a beleaguered parishioner to “open [his] heart” to his mother. So the poor parishioner drives down to his mother’s retirement home, pulls out a knife, literally carves his heart out and hands it to her. (Apparently, the Word of God doesn’t understand idioms.) But — and this especially true for a series that features its fair share of beheadings — there’s something to be said for execution. Drawing upon the talent of Breaking Bad alum Sam Catlin as the showrunner, it nails the execution. The show breathes

atmosphere in and out. The gorgeously composed shots of the Texas town of Annville make the show feel alternatively soaked in sweat or cracked with dust. It oozes dread, not through cheap musical stingers like so much of TV, but through cinematography and color. And as cruel as the writing often is, Arseface, ironically, is treated the most sympathetically, with brief beats of compassion and humanity. Most impressively, in an age of shaky cam directing turning action scenes into mush, action scenes here stand out by being fast and brutal, but completely intelligible. So far, Preacher works, which is all the more impressive considering the degree of difficulty. A few episodes in, and the viewer unfamiliar with the comic series that inspired it doesn’t really understand what the show is about yet. But for now, that doesn’t matter. The team behind Preacher have somehow pulled off a chaotic high-wire dance, one that appears perpetually on the verge of falling apart at all times.

That’s the number of wins notched by the Spokane Empire in their first season playing in the Indoor Football League. The team, formerly known as the Shock in the Arena Football League days, has used an up-tempo style throughout the season, scoring as many as 97 points in a single contest. The Empire, who have already locked a playoff spot, take on the IFL-leading Sioux Falls Storm on Saturday, June 18 at 7 pm at the Spokane Arena.

PODCAST In the U.S., nine individuals are charged with deciding the most difficult and divisive questions: Should states kill killers? Can a woman get an abortion? Is affirmative action just? And how much slack should we give those who enter the country illegally? Just to name a few. Even if you don’t geek out as much as I do about the major issues facing the SCOTUS and the impact its decisions have, this new podcast, MORE PERFECT, a spin-off of the popular Radiolab, will set you on the right path. In the first two episodes, More Perfect digs into the 8th Amendment’s protection against cruel and unusual punishment as it applies to the death penalty, and the nervous breakdown of one justice during a case that changed the court’s course forever. ALTRUISM In the wake of the deadliest mass shooting on U.S. soil, one local blood bank saw an outpouring of support and collected enough blood to meet its initial demand. But the need is still there. Even though there is no guarantee that your blood will go to HELP A VICTIM IN ORLANDO, you can still donate to a local blood bank. There are other ways to help as well: Attend a vigil, advocate for smarter gun laws (or don’t, but let’s have a civil debate), or donate money to one of the crowdfunding efforts. LGBT civil rights organization Equality Florida set up a GoFundMe site, which has raised more than $2.5 million of the $3 million goal. DOCUMENTARY You might be tired of hearing about O.J. Simpson. With the 10-hour trial drama that aired on FX in February, what’s left to say? Plenty. ESPN’s five-part documentary, O.J.: MADE IN AMERICA, which was previewed at the Sundance Film Festival and has been receiving stellar reviews. Emmy-winning filmmaker Ezra Edelman takes an in-depth look at intimate details of Simpson’s life, juxtaposed against the shifting social tides. The series, which concludes on Saturday, June 18, but is available on demand, chronicles Simpson’s life before and after the 1995 “Trial of the Century” as a child in San Francisco housing projects and the man who (possibly) got away with murder. n

FARMING

Made for Each Other Veterans could be the key to agriculture’s future — and ag might be the cure for a life after combat By Taryn Phaneuf

fter eight years in the U.S. Army, Nate Lewis is preparing for the transition into civilian life. He realized he wants to be a farmer. “Then he realized he’d never farmed,” says Vicki Carter, director of the Spokane County Conservation District. It turns out he was in the right place at the right time — a conservation district program can help him with that. Barely a year old, Vets on the Farm started as a way to kill two birds, as they say. “We’re at a critical point in our agriculture,” Carter says. Many in the country are worried about the food supply as the bulk of farmers reach retirement age. They’re trying to attract young blood to the industry. At the same time, post-9/11 veterans transitioning out of the military need guidance and education. Carter and others from Washington State University Extension and Northwest Farm Credit Services built a program designed to leverage education and hands-on

experience to get veterans — no matter their age — ready to start their own business or take a job that uses these skills. The idea took hold locally. The program has had more than 30 participants, with interests ranging from small vegetable farms to livestock to commercial kitchens. Emtman Brothers Farm in Valleyford, Wash., donated three acres and a house for a learning farm. Veterans grow vegetables on a little less than an acre to to sell to Spokane Produce, a local distributor. Carter hopes to raise money to build a greenhouse on the farm in the fall. It’s also expanding outside Spokane County. Chelan, Grant, Stevens and Whitman counties in Eastern Washington are at different stages of starting their own Vets on the Farm programs. The Washington Department of Veterans Affairs wants to use it as a statewide model. Lewis was already a backyard gardener when he joined Vets on the Farm. The Cultivating Success course through WSU Extension teaches the nuts and bolts of an

agricultural business. Lewis learned how to turn his backyard enterprise into a full-blown market garden. Now, he works as the foreman on the learning farm. It’s his task to keep meticulous track of this first year entrée of growing, from the Get the scoop on local number of plants and food news with our weekly how they’re arranged Entrée newsletter. Sign up to their profitability. at Inlander.com/newsletter. He’s well-suited for the task. In the army, he was a logistics coordinator. Pairing veterans with agriculture is a very practical solution, but it doesn’t end there. A 10-year-old study by the University of New Hampshire found that people from rural areas in the U.S. enlist in the military at higher rates than suburb or city dwellers, partly because they lack job opportunities in traditionally rural industries, including farming. The Farmer Veteran Coalition was founded in 2007

LONG DAY! SAFARI ROOM. SEE YOU IN 30.

Vets on the Farm teaches former military members farming basics. in Davis, California, with the unique goal of addressing the number of veterans who would return home to rural America, looking for work. Carter was introduced to the coalition two years ago through a local veterans event, where she learned how well agriculture jobs suit veterans, about skills that translate to fields — a lot of farmers use drones now, for example. And about the healing that happens. After a career focused on destruction, veterans thrive in a job centered on creation, she says. “I’ve worked with this district for 25 years. I come from a large, military-based family, including my own son, who’s been deployed three times in the last five years,” Carter says. “I sat there thinking, ‘How come I’ve never heard of anything going on in Spokane?’” A program in Lynden, Washington, uses sustainable farming as an alternative therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, but Carter wanted something that includes job development. The purpose resonates with veterans involved in Vets on the Farm. Dan Ross, a conservation district employee as well as a veteran and a farmer, says this kind of work has a therapeutic effect. While he didn’t see a lot of combat action when he served, the stress of the job took its toll. “I spend a lot of time on my own place, gardening just to get my hands in the dirt,” he said. “It’s so simplistic, but it’s huge.” Scott Gail, a former Army Ranger, says that agriculture just makes sense to him. It’s a more peaceful occupation for soldiers who have “kicked down too many doors,” he said. But like the military, it’s focused on a mission. After taking the WSU Extension course, Gail started a business helping farmers rebuild soil health in worn-out fields. It’s an unexpected outcome, so many years after he left his family’s dairy farm in Minnesota. “The only thing I wanted to do was get away from agriculture,” he says. Now, at 45, it’s his new purpose: “Chickens just meet me at the door, and it’s happy.” n

Savory Soul Sandpoint’s Loaf & Ladle emphasizes cooking from scratch and local ingredients By Carrie Scozzaro

t’s the perfect location for a restaurant: one block off Sandpoint’s busy main thoroughfare in a converted house with a large, partially shaded porch and plenty of seating. In fact, at the corner of Second Avenue and Lake Street, the new Loaf & Ladle restaurant has been home to several prior restaurants, most recently the Neighborhood Pub. What distinguishes Loaf & Ladle is its emphasis on fresh, from-scratch cooking with service from early morning through late evening and a pleasant range of eclectic dishes, ranging from spicy Jamaican twice-cooked tofu ($16) to Lamb Souvlaki ($14) to the Roasted Veggie Muffuletta sandwich on grilled focaccia bread ($11). Their breakfasts feature eggs from owners Sarah and Michael Williams’ pastures for dishes such as the huevos rancheros ($13) or “Benedict” with choice of prosciutto, cedar-plank salmon or veggies ($13). Other breakfast options include chicken and waffles, which shouldn’t work, but does, combining salty, bacony-cheddar waffles with the sweetness of maple syrup ($16). Also try Sarah Williams’ cinnamon roll, baked fresh daily ($6) with a cup of local Evans Brothers coffee. Red Wheelbarrow produce and Litehouse salad dressings are featured in lighter fare, such as the kale Caesar ($10) and the Root salad with roasted beets, butternut squash, sweet potatoes and carrots over greens with feta cheese and pistachios ($14). For dinner, try marinated and grilled sockeye salmon with herb vinaigrette from Thunder’s Catch ($18) or grilled Flank Steak served in an open-faced sandwich with Gorgonzola, roasted tomatoes, caramelized onions and arugula ($15). Add a modest beer and wine menu and you have the makings for a new place to savor in Sandpoint. n Loaf & Ladle • 124 S.

RUINS

825 N. Monroe | 443-5606

hef Tony Brown’s landlord thought he was crazy to add a patio at Ruins, the boutique restaurant in the shadow of the Spokane County Courthouse. The space, which previously had been a parking lot for a neighboring bail bonds outfit, now seats 20 people in a trellis-lined spot behind the restaurant. In addition to serving folks who prefer to sit outside whenever possible during our increasingly hot summers, the patio also provides more seating for a restaurant whose popularity

almost always keeps its tables full. Ruins now also has a well-executed and eclectic brunch on the weekends, beginning at 10 am. Part of the popularity is due to the fact that Brown, who opened the restaurant in 2014, has continually rotated his menu between different styles, ethnic influences and themes over the past year. He expects to continue this effort-intensive practice throughout the summer, then begin changing things up on a monthly basis. — MIKE BOOKEY

CRAFTED TAP HOUSE + KITCHEN 523 Sherman Ave. | Coeur d’Alene 208-292-4813 There’s about as much patio seating at Crafted as the indoor seating at this popular Coeur d’Alene pub. There’s a full shaded side and a totally open end, too. Oh and they’ve got foosball on the patio, not to mention communal fire pits where you can sip your pint as the night cools off and maybe even meet some new friends. The fact that they have 50 beers on tap shouldn’t be overlooked, either. THE ELK PUBLIC HOUSE 1931 W. Pacific | 363-1973 While many restaurants and bars toss the words “pub” or “public house” after their names, The Elk lives up to the spirit of the pub, serving as much as a gathering point for the Browne’s Addition neighborhood as an eatery. That’s not to say the food isn’t special, because it certainly is. The patio, a Spokane institution, features ample seating that’s pretty much always full on a summer afternoon. It’s also on one of the more vibrant people-watching intersections in town.

Reef-cyling Finding Dory misses the spark of originality Pixar is capable of at its best By Scott Renshaw

efore Finding Dory, as has been traditional with Pixar’s animated features, there’s a short film as a kind of cinematic appetizer. Alan Barillaro’s Piper — the tale of a young sandpiper learning the hard lessons of how to forage for food at the ocean’s edge — is an absolute delight, from the astonishing photorealism of its lighting to the emotionally rich (and fairly literal) interpretation of the old “give a man a fish/teach a man to fish” aphorism. It’s funny, sweet and richly imaginative. And it was the most memorable thing about the experience of watching Finding Dory. There’s an irony to the fact that Pixar’s current direction with regard to its features seems more frustrating because of the possibilities highlighted by its own shorts. While the Pixar brain trust doubles down on its focus on sequels — another Toy Story and a second Incredibles feature are in line behind Finding Dory — the shorts show us that the talent at the company can create original work that is both technically and emotionally engaging, and often flat-out hilarious. There’s nothing particularly wrong with Finding Dory. It’s just hard not to realize how much more Pixar is capable of when they’re not playing it safe. Writer/director Andrew Stanton opens with a prologue taking us back to the childhood of the blue tang Dory, showing the origin story of how the forgetful fish was separated from her parents, leading up to the fateful day when Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) met clownfish Marlin (Albert Brooks) for the events of Finding Nemo. One year

after those events, Dory is still settled in with Marlin and “septopus” named Hank (Ed O’Neill) and nearsighted Nemo, but a flash of memory includes a clue to her parwhale shark Destiny (Kaitlin Olson).

ESSAY

Fathers and Children One man’s lifelong love of music is heightened with his kids around By Ben Salmon

hen my wife Emily and I were preparing for the birth of our first child in 2010, I had two jobs: install the shiny new car seat in the beat-up old car, and make a playlist of mellow music to listen to in the delivery room. I blew it on the car seat. My dad ended up installing it in the hospital parking lot while Emily was in labor. Because my dad is the best dad anyone could hope for. (Happy Father’s Day, Dad.) On the other hand, I did find time to get the playlist done. I spent hours meticulously piecing together the perfect blend of Eluvium and Elliott Smith and Simon & Garfunkel and whatever else I thought would gently welcome my firstborn into the world, seep through her soft baby skull and irreversibly doom her to a life as a hopeless music nerd. The fact that we never actually listened to that playlist in the hospital should not obscure the point here: Music has always been among the highest priorities in my life; right behind the humans I love. Listening to and learning about new music is an obsession for me, even as I near 40 — Lou Reed’s age when he released his excellent ode to settling down, The Blue Mask, in 1982. That obsession burns as hot today as it did just over six years ago, before my daughter was born, followed by my son in 2012. It’s just that life sometimes gets in the way now. My money goes to cutesy pajamas and Shopkins (look ’em up) more so than records these days. No longer can I stay up all night listening to music, because I’m too exhausted from chasing a 6- and a 3-year-old. I don’t see as many concerts as I used to. I’d rather be home… chasing a 6- and a 3-year-old. The cool thing, though, is this: Music finds a way. I still love and consume plenty of it. But I find that opportunities to profoundly appreciate a piece of music, and how it can intertwine with our lives, come along more often than ever before, thanks largely to my kids. It started early. I can still close my eyes and see my daughter, just a few months old, mustering up all her baby-strength to open her mouth and mimic the gorgeous wordless coda of Band of Horses’ “Neighbor,” my go-to tune for calming her at the time. I’ll probably never again be able to listen to John Coltrane’s Giant Steps without imagining tiptoeing away from a crib. And I’ll never forget the first time I heard my daughter singing a song — one of my songs, not, like, one of Dora’s songs — from the back of the minivan. It was David Mayfield’s “Breath of Love,” and listening to her tiny voice replicate its lullaby melody put a lump in my throat faster than you can say “They’re growing up too fast.” Her brother has joined her now, and together they’ve fallen in love with power pop (The New Pornographers’ “War On the East Coast”) and quiet folk (Joan Shelley’s “Subtle Love”) and the cheeky Swedish metal band Ghost. Like the rest of the planet, they love dancing to Taylor Swift in the living room; the ...continued on next page

MUSIC | essay “FATHERS AND CHILDREN,” continued... only way I could pry them away from “Shake It Off” was with a strategically purchased copy of Carly Rae Jepsen’s brilliant 2015 album E•MO•TION. To be clear, I am not telling you all this to prove how cool my kids are. Truly. I’ve sung my fair share of kids’ songs, from the unimpeachable “You Are My Sunshine” to the dreadful “Baby Beluga.” I spent a year completely enveloped in the songs of Frozen, just like every other parent in the country. And I fully expect my children to veer away from their dad’s taste eventually, perhaps never to return. If that’s the case, that’s OK. Because my hope is that by filling their lives with lots of different sounds now, I’m setting them up for a lifetime of loving and appreciating music, no matter what style they prefer. But if they ever want to give some of Dad’s old records a spin, I’ll be there waiting, ready to geek out with them for as long as they’ll have me. n

Father’s Day Playlist

ive songs that encapsulate the triumphs and tribulations of fatherhood:

• Drive-By Truckers, “Outfit” (2003): Released while he was in the Drive-By Truckers, “Outfit” may be the best song Jason Isbell has ever written, and that’s saying something. Lyrically vivid and efficient, the song details advice from a father who desperately wants his son to make better decisions and live a fuller life. • Sturgill Simpson, “Welcome to Earth (Pollywog)” (2016): The much-anticipated recent album from fast-rising roots-rock star Sturgill Simpson is a song cycle for his newborn son. “Welcome to Earth (Pollywog)” is the most direct song, with Simpson apologizing to his boy for going on the road as string arrangements and horn sections swell around him. • Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper, “I’m Living with a Three-Foot Anti-Christ” (1986): There are tons

of tender songs about fathers and kids, but this hilarious tune from the king of silly psychobilly music might capture the exhausting chaos of parenthood better than any of ’em. “He wakes up at 6 am / Says my body is a jungle gym,” Nixon sings against a sparse guitar riff. • Gold-Bears, “Fathers and Daughters” (2014): If Nixon captures the chaos of parenthood, this track from the Atlanta quintet’s underrated 2014 album Dalliance is a reverbdrenched brain-dump of uncertainty. And to be clear, that uncertainty — while intense in the early years of fatherhood — never really fades. •Harry Chapin, “Cat’s in the Cradle” (1974): Yes, you’ve heard it a million times. But no list about paternal relationships would be complete without this wistful tune about a lifetime of missed connections between a father and son. Give this a good listen and see if it doesn’t make you feel like you ought to be calling and visiting your old man more often. (BEN SALMON)

MUSIC | PUNK

The Pack A.D.’s Maya Miller (left) and Becky Black.

Ferocious Duo The Pack A.D. fell into playing music; now they want to share their loud and out-of-this-world sound By Laura Johnson

s the Pack A.D.’s guitarist/singer Becky Black writhes on an examination table, long blueish hands poke and prod her flesh. With garage punk wailing over the camera shots, she realizes that aliens have abducted her. The music video for the Vancouver, B.C., duo’s new single “So What” is the stuff of nightmares, and it all came from the mind of drummer Maya Miller. “It was my idea for Becky to get abducted for the video and she said ‘Fine,’” Miller says with a laugh. “She had to spend the whole time naked on a table. I thought it was the best decision on my part.” Miller says she didn’t have an inkling she’d be in a band; she thought she’d always be an actor. “And then I was one and I hated it,” says Miller, on the phone from her band’s self-described “tour truck,”

headed toward a show in Ottawa. “So then I became a director and then I fell into being in a band, and I like the way things have turned out.” Since forming in 2006, the Pack A.D. have become one of the hottest Canadian garage-punk bands, with five albums under their belt and a 2013 Juno Award nomination for breakout artist. Next week, their tour lands in Spokane. Miller learned to play drums after her friends wanted to start a band. No one else wanted to play the instrument, so it fell to her. She took lessons and just hit the skins as hard as possible. The duo soon emerged, after the band fell through. These days, she says she doesn’t practice the way she should, or stretch out and stay limber. “Real drummers really do those things,” Miller says.

“I thrash around a lot, and on the first two days of shows on a tour I’ll usually give myself whiplash. But you reacclimate yourself.” As both Miller and Black have a background in theater and film, it makes sense they’d have creative music videos. Miller says they’d quit touring and only make videos if that were a viable way to make money. “When we’re recording a song, we sit in the studio and ideas for videos just pop up,” Miller says. “We’re always thinking about it.” Writing is a fluid thing for the band, and they mostly compose together, in the moment. Looking back on their old stuff, they can’t even tell who wrote each part. The new Pack A.D. album, due out in August, is called Positive Thinking. “Yes, that title is facetious,” Miller says. “It touches on themes of depression and ageism and a lot of serious topics. But there is something to be said for staying positive, too.” This tour they’re out playing a bunch of the fresh, deafening tunes at shows — including that new single. “We’re playing as hard as we can,” Miller says. “On stage, we’ll have a party about it. And that’s about as Canadian as I can get.” n The Pack A.D. with the Smokes • Tue, June 21, at 8 pm • $10 • All-ages • The Bartlett • 228 W. Sprague • thebartlettspokane.com • 747-2174

POP ROCK SWITCHFOOT

ecular audiences were introduced to Switchfoot’s spiritual brand of alternative rock with 2003’s The Beautiful Letdown and the album’s mega-singles “Meant to Live” and “Dare You to Move.” While the group is still technically a Christian act (in that they’re still marketed in the Contemporary Christian music world), they’ve continued in the mainstream. It makes sense that for their most recent tour, they’ve hooked up Christian rapper Lecrae, as both acts’ appeal goes beyond the faith label. Lecrae, in fact, is one of five Christian artists ever to have an album hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts. Be aware that the show has moved locations, from Riverfront Park to the indoor Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox. — LAURA JOHNSON

SWING CHERRY POPPIN’ DADDIES W

ith the line “Zoot suit riot / Throw back a bottle of beer,” the Eugene, Oregon, ska/ swing act Cherry Poppin’ Daddies took the late 1990s by storm, helping to further the popularity of that period’s swing revival. But they’ve got a bunch of other riotous tunes too, which they’re playing at Friday’s Red Lion at the Park Outdoor Summer Concert series kickoff. After their Red Lion show was canceled last year, audiences have another chance to catch the energetic eight-piece. Through August, the series features free outdoor shows every Friday and Saturday on the hotel patio, which can also be accessed from Riverfront Park. Bands include local, regional and national touring acts. — LAURA JOHNSON

COMMUNITY RIDE AND ROLL

Summer Parkways, the South Hill block party combined with a community bike ride, is back for 2016, just a day after the official summer solstice. Per usual, the event closes off 4 miles of city streets to car traffic, offering a safe route for families and kids to bust out their bikes, wagons, scooters, rollerblades and any other human-powered transit to take an evening cruise through the neighborhood. Booths and activities are set up along the route. New this year is a Summer Parkways scavenger hunt. Get a passport stamped at each stop and redeem prizes at the final stop. Also, families can enter a raffle to win one of 10 Strider balance bikes, ideal for kids age 18 months to 5 years. — CHEY SCOTT Summer Parkways • Tue, June 21, from 6-9 pm • Manito Park and Comstock Park neighborhoods, Spokane • summerparkways.com

SPORTS PLAY BALL!

wordS POEMS FROM A RENAISSANCE MAN

Spokane Indians vs. Vancouver Canadians • June 17-19: Fri-Sat at 6:30 pm; Sun at 3:30 pm • $5-$20 • Avista Stadium • 602 N. Havana • spokaneindiansbaseball.com

Chris Cook • Sat, June 18, at 7 pm • Free• Auntie’s Bookstore • 402 W. Main • auntiesbooks.com

We don’t care that the calendar says summer starts June 20. If the bats are swinging and the balls are flying at Avista Stadium for the Spokane Indians’ regular season games, we’re calling it summer. The Texas Rangers’ rookie-ball squad opens up against the Vancouver Canadians in a three-game set, including a Father’s Day matinee. Be sure to get there early; this year there’s a Happy Hour starting for Friday and Saturday games an hour before first pitch, with $4 pints of all drafts. — DAN NAILEN

When he’s not playing trumpet in the Spokane Symphony or teaching music at Gonzaga, Chris Cook is writing deftly crafted poetry. Some might also know him as the host of Auntie’s Bookstore’s 3 Minute Mic open poetry readings on First Fridays. Cook will read from his latest poetry collection, Damn Good Cookie, and likely dazzle you with pieces from his early works, which have been published widely and recited during his appearances at national and international poetry competitions. — MIKE BOOKEY

VISUAL ART INFRARED EYE

The first major exhibit to hit the galleries of the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture this summer offers a unique glimpse at regional powwow culture and tradition through the lens of Spokane photographer Erv Schleufer. The selftaught photographer developed his own infrared photography techniques to capture images at regional powwows without the need for a traditional flash, so as not to distract the dancers. See 45 photos from the Coeur d’Alene Tribe member’s portfolio on display through this summer. Capturing images with infrared light creates soft-edged, shadowy scenes in black and white that are both hauntingly beautiful and mesmerizing. — CHEY SCOTT The Light We Can’t See: The Photography of Erv Schleufer • Through Sept. 4; gallery hours are Tue-Sun, 10 am-5 pm (Wed until 8 pm) • $5-$10 admission • The MAC • 2316 W.
