Our leaders need to stop with all the 24/7 campaigning for reelection; it’s time to serve the people BY GEORGE NETHERCUTT

deeply faithful friend from Virginia recently told me of the routine he follows each morning. Rather than immediately focusing on the day’s bad news, he lists his blessings and counts them. In our troubled world, it’s a routine worth replicating, if only to give us a sense of perspective — to prioritize what’s important and what’s not. Every morning at breakfast, I find myself reading newspapers that chronicle a distasteful government shutdown, bitter debt-ceiling fight, recurring Obamacare glitches or embarrassing intractability on the international scene. By the time I finish my bowl of cereal, I’m either depressed or angry, oftentimes both. Focusing on public affairs as a first order of the day misplaces my priorities. While it’s perfectly appropriate for citizens to be passionate about public policy and our country’s direction, the most important priorities in our lives (health, faith, family, friendships) are often either overlooked, or taken for granted. Author Stephen Covey once said, “The key is not to prioritize your schedule, but to schedule your priorities. ”

or decades, Congress was a place where the toughest of arguments could be made, where dissention flourished, but where, at the end of a day’s disputes, leaders made it a priority to come together to act civilly toward one another and resolve differences, recognizing that the nation’s business had priority over a Member’s reelection, pet project or political philosophy. It’s different today, but it just may be a case of misplaced priorities. Now, instead of fulfilling national responsibilities, Members of Congress and our President attend more to political victory and self-promotion and less to moving America forward. Today victories must be total so that “winners” achieve 100 percent of their priorities and losers get nothing they want legislatively. Too many officials’ priorities today are misplaced — they’re not leading. And the real losers are the American public. Perhaps this is the result of gerrymandering, so that more “safe” districts breed extremists, able to take outrageous positions and still secure reelection. Perhaps today’s breed of self-serving elected officials believes that appealing to a narrowly focused but active constituency will encourage activists to show up at election time to secure their reelection. While part of today’s extremism may be justified because it’s in response to America’s debt-ridden economic condition, shutting down government rarely ends well, whoever is blameworthy. Members of Congress who truly believe they’re doing what’s right for America and faithfully representing

their constituents’ best interests should hold fast, but they need to be shrewd enough to develop an alternative to a shutdown. Whatever the cause, Members whose priorities are total victory and the destruction of opponents produce paralyzing gridlock. Legislative standoffs cause major public losses — damaging the economy, wasting precious time and further paralyzing government agencies stuck in the middle between warring political factions and, ultimately, a disgusted public. Too many elected officials today also believe they’re Presidential material. Running for President is their ultimate goal because they think the public deserves them. President Obama met that test. Based on his domestic and foreign policy record to date, Mr. Obama entered the presidency unprepared. I join others who believe it’s healthy for America to have elected a racial minority as our president, but the presidency deserves and demands a person of wisdom, stature and accomplishment. Mr. Obama lacked all three as he sought our nation’s highest office. Now the public knows it, lately assessing his job approval at only 43 percent. Presidential service shouldn’t be symbolic, an image builder or a proving ground. It always requires negotiation with Congress on critical issues. Now other first-termers exploit single issues, believing that such attention-getting qualifies them as leaders — makes them qualified for President.

ur Constitutional guarantee of freedom affords citizens and elected officials broad latitude in the conduct of their affairs. But those who balance their ego with the satisfaction of helping others are the best public servants. All elected officials, particularly Presidential candidates, should take note. Their priorities should be focused on national progress and bringing credit and respect to the offices they hold, because good policies usually produce good politics. Impasses that produce government shutdowns demonstrate failure, and failing to communicate to resolve political or policy differences is wretched leadership. Officeholders will ultimately be judged mostly on how well they pursued the public good and led with conviction. Those with high standards of conduct — who distinguish the office they hold — will best be remembered for their evenhanded service. What they do for the common good marks effective leaders. n

COMMENT | PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Trust on the Ballot BY TED S. McGREGOR JR.

here are plenty of reasons to worry about our food supply. Just this week, we learned of an 18-state outbreak of salmonella in chicken — just as federal inspectors were furloughed. We’re also learning more and more about iffy additives like food dyes, growth hormones and sodium nitrite (to name a few). And as we documented in our recent cover story, an entire wheat field just south of here showed up to have been genetically modified. No one can explain how. Americans are fighting back, favoring restaurants that can pinpoint the sources of the food they serve, reading labels like never before, and, in at least 20 states now, trying to get comprehensive labels on the food they buy. Here in Washington, it’s coming in the form of Initiative 522 — a proposal to tell citizens if their food has been genetically modified. Count me as one of those who are excited about the possibilities of better crops — to feed more people, to require fewer resources. We all want progress, and science continues to make our lives better. But as we unlock the mysteries of our planet, we have also come up against plenty of unintended consequences. We are told the chances of cross-pollination between natural food and GMOs will be small, but we humans tend to downplay the risks. Remember, tobacco was first sold as a health aid, and DDT was just fine to spray on your crops. Then there’s Hanford. We need to tread carefully — and with humility. But I-522 is about more than whether genetically modified foods are safe — I believe most will be proven to be just fine. It’s more about, in the words of author and food expert Michael Pollan, “the public’s confidence in the industrial food chain.” There isn’t much. As yet another sign that our government is failing us, oversight agencies — from Wall Street watchers to food safety inspectors — are defanged, infiltrated and underfunded by Congress. I wish I could be more trusting, but it’s hard when our leaders just got done lying to us about how much the NSA is spying on America. It’s a sad situation when you can trust Whole Foods (which plans to label GMO foods itself by 2016) more than your own federal agencies. Americans care about food just as much as all those European nations that have such strict rules; we just don’t have a government that looks out for us as much as it should. If we did, measures like I-522 might not be necessary. This is not a vote to ban genetically modified foods; I just want the truth right there on the label so I can decide for myself. I’m voting yes on I-522. 

TOO MUCH WE DON’T KNOW

I have no problem with the idea of Genetically Modified Organisms (“Who Is Afraid of the GMO?” 9/26/13). I think we could successfully meet many of the world’s challenges through genetic engineering. All of the technical progress that has ever been made was made by modifying something — and the benefits of modifying genes probably hold more potential gains for humanity than most other technical pursuits do. What I do have a big problem with is who is doing genetic engineering and why. I don’t believe that Monsanto, DuPont, Dow and Bayer are working for the benefit of humanity. I believe these companies feel a need to keep their doings secret because if what they are doing were well known, the lawsuits against them would never end.

COMMENT | SATIRE

It’s About Teamwork S BY ANDY BOROWITZ

peaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) said that he was disappointed after meeting with President Obama at the White House last week, telling reporters, “The President is stubbornly refusing to end the crisis I created.” “Government is about teamwork,” Boehner continued. “I’ve done my part by putting together an entirely optional crisis that has shut down the government and will throw thousands out of work. Now it’s up to the President to do his part by ending it.” Boehner said that he was “flabbergasted” that the President was looking to him to bring the current government shutdown to an end: “So after doing all of the hard work to push the country to the brink, I’m supposed to pull it back, too? How about you pitching in a little, Mr.

President?” The House Speaker said that he hoped he did not have to manufacture another entirely avoidable crisis over the debt ceiling in order to stir the President to action. “Quite frankly, orchestrating these unnecessary stalemates takes a lot of energy and I could really use a rest,” he said. Elsewhere, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) raised the ante in the battle over the Affordable Care Act on Sunday, telling CNN’s Candy Crowley that “destroying the entire planet is really the best and only way to stop Obamacare.” n For more fake news from Andy Borowitz, visit borowitzreport.com.

3 DELECTABLE KOBE BEEF SLIDERS. PERFECT FOR NOT SHARING.

BY JIM HIGHTOWER

ere’s a scary number to ponder: 12,407. That’s how many registered lobbyists there are in Washington, D.C. — the bulk of whom are paid handsomely to carry water for avaricious corporations. And that doesn’t count the untold number of influence peddlers who do not stoop to register, for they don’t consider to be mere lobbyists, even though they are paid extravagant salaries by elite lobbying firms. Rather than lobby, they “advise.” These are longtime Washington insiders who act as sherpas, guiding corporate favor-seekers through the labyrinth of congressional backrooms and executivebranch offices to reach the peaks of legislative and regulatory power. Today’s lobbying corps, you see, is no longer the domain of common hustlers, but of credentialed and well-connected professionals, including more than 400 former U.S. Senators and House members, plus more than 5,000 former legislative staffers — all cashing in on the connections and insider knowledge they gained at taxpayer expense. Lobbying is now a $3.3 billion-a-year influence industry —

an unelected, private government of, by, and for special interests. And get this — it even has its own lobbying group, the American League of Lobbyists, which lobbies for lobbyists! As you might imagine, having such a powerful presence has given many within LobbyWorld an elevated sense of their own worthiness, so they now want to drop the tacky label of “lobbyist.” Instead, the League of Lobbyists is asking its members to suggest a more prestigious (and less pejorative) brand name. Reportedly, an early favorite is “Government Relations Professional.” But that’s too ponderous. I think any new phrase needs to spell out a zippy acronym — like SLICK, CREEP or LEECH — that really defines their work. To paraphrase Shakespeare, a lobbyist, by any other name, would smell the same. n

The Race Card As officers contact citizens on the street, the Spokane Police Department will now record and track statistics on race BY JACOB JONES

n a new program to track police interactions and deter racial profiling, Spokane Police officers will start packing statistic forms while out patrolling their beats next year. Every time an officer questions a citizen or makes a traffic stop, the officer will have to fill out a short data form, noting the person’s race, location and other details. With just a handful of questions, each individual form offers minimal insight, but combined with thousands of other data records on contacts across the city, the Spokane Police Department hopes to compile an unprecedented look into how its officers interact with citizens on a daily basis.

Cmdr. Brad Arleth, who has overseen the development of the program, says many metro-sized law enforcement agencies have logged similar race data for years. Amid ongoing national debate over the role of race in “stop and frisk,” gang enforcement and other targeted policing strategies, tracking who Spokane officers engage on the street can provide telling clues about how race may factor into local policing decisions. “A lot of other agencies have done it,” Arleth says, adding, “Essentially, it’s an audit function. … It goes to transparency.” As the department prepares to launch the new data tracking program at the beginning of next year, police

accountability advocates hope the new information can advance the local conversation on racial profiling. Community groups say existing jail and use-of-force records already show signs of significant racial disparities in how Spokane agencies arrest and incarcerate people of color. Liz Moore, director of the Peace and Justice Action League of Spokane, says collecting the data serves as a critical first step in addressing those institutional inequalities, a step long overdue. “People don’t get to the jail by themselves,” she says. “It starts with an interaction with the police. … What we need is a really comprehensive understanding of what happens.”

aw enforcement agencies first started tracking race data on police contacts in the late ’90s in response to nationwide concerns over racial profiling. In the early 2000s, several Washington departments, including Seattle, Tacoma and Vancouver, started recording contact data. The state Legislature also passed a law encouraging departments to collect and analyze race data on all traffic stops to prevent racial profiling, but Spokane never implemented such a program. During public testimony before the city’s Use of Force Commission last year, accountability advocates ...continued on next page

“THE RACE CARD,” CONTINUED... called for the police department to address racial disparities in the local justice system. Ed Byrnes, a statistician and associate professor at Eastern Washington University, volunteered to help the department develop the new tracking system to assess how officers approach citizens of different races. “We can have some hope of impacting how officers make decisions based on their perceptions,” Byrnes says. “That’s a lot of what’s driving this. … We have to start somewhere and we’re going to start now.” Byrnes, who also works with the Spokane Police Accountability and Reform Coalition, says he has based the new data program on the “best practices” from the Racial Profiling Data Collec-

tion Resource Center at Northeastern University. The center promotes data tracking as a tool for improving transparency, increasing officer accountability and identifying potential misconduct. Spokane officers will carry data forms in their ticket books and complete a brief checklist after each citizen encounter. Those forms will be scanned into a computer after each shift and loaded into a database that can break down interactions by officer, neighborhood or other variables. When recording a person’s race, officers will report what they believe the person’s race to be. Byrnes says if the data is supposed to track how officers treat people of different races, the information should be based on how the officers view

the other person’s race. “It comes down to an officer’s perception of race. That’s really the key variable,” he says. “It’s how the officer is perceiving me that’s going to drive their decision to stop me.” While Moore acknowledges this as a “good goal,” she warns allowing officers to make their own determinations on race could lead to miscounts or manipulation of the data. Arleth says the department continues to work out details on the data forms, scanning procedures and training schedules for the program, but officials expect to be able to start recording data on Jan. 1. Bynes will then meet with police administrators regularly to review the data. While the Legislature urges agencies to log traffic stops, Arleth says the local department will exceed that mandate by also tracking pedestrian and other contacts. Officials have worked with Byrnes to try to make the data forms thorough without drowning officers in excess paperwork. “Even people who they don’t issue infractions to, they’ll have to complete a form for,” Arleth says. “So it is going to be an extra workload, but so are a lot of other things. … Doing better police business takes extra work.”

oore and other justice advocates hope the new police interaction data can provide important insight into what they see as troubling trends in the Spokane criminal justice system. While records from 2011 show black citizens account for just 1.5 percent of the county population, black inmates appear to make up 12 percent of the county jail population. SPD use-of-force records also indicate a “consistent, high” number of Taser deployments against black and Native American subjects, Moore says. Of the 106 people Tasered by the Spokane Police between 2009 and 2012, advocates say 16 percent were black and 9.4 percent were Native American, well above population levels. So far this year, that rate has shown a decrease. James Wilburn Jr., president of the Spokane NAACP, says the proposed data program represents a long-awaited and muchneeded effort to recognize and address the many signs of profiling and disparity in the local system. “It’s going to be very valuable,” he says. In addition to serving as an important check against profiling, police officials say the new data will also help establish a baseline portrait of common citizen interactions, outlining what people and neighborhoods officers engage with most. That information should only help officers better serve those communities. “Certainly we need to be doing it,” Arleth says. “Most communities across the United States expect their department to be cognizant of those issues. … We’re on a mad dash to get this in place and moving.” After years of hearing stories about Spokane citizens being pulled over for “driving while black” or other seemingly racemotivated stops, Moore hopes the new data will clear up the bigger picture and help people understand how law enforcement operates throughout the city. “We need to know what is a pattern,” she says. “Collecting data is just a really basic step in correcting that.” n jacobj@inlander.com

The Condon Plan New details on Mayor Condon’s proposed 2014 budget; plus, prosecutors won’t charge a homeowner in a fatal shooting BUDGET DETAILS EMERGE “We are on solid footing,” MAYOR DAVID CONDON told the Spokane City Council Monday before members of his cabinet handed out hefty black binders to each council member. Inside each was a copy of the mayor’s line-item $600 million budget for 2014, detailing plans to fund 25 new officers and restore full capabilities to a South Hill fire station cut last year. The addition of new officers, as well as the mayor’s intention to take two years’ worth of the 1 percent-per-year property tax increase, became clear in August, but this week was the first time he committed to restoring Fire Station No. 9 near Bernard Street and 18th Avenue. The new spending comes primarily from paying off an old debt, new parking meter revenue and administrative cuts at the police department. (The property tax increase will be directed at capital spending, like new police cars.) Nine city staffers will be laid off, a stark contrast to last year’s nearly 100 positions cut. Three are clerk positions that City Spokesman Brian Coddington says can be easily reassigned; the rest are positions in the engineering, finance, planning, and asset management departments, plus one police secretary and a fleet equipment servicer.

Those employees will soon get layoff notices, with hopes to begin finding them new city jobs, Coddington says. — HEIDI GROOVER

SELF-DEFENSE SHOOTING

Months after a domestic confrontation led to a fatal shooting at a north Spokane home in March, the county Prosecutor’s Office has released a memo confirming its decision to not pursue charges against homeowner GEORGE WALLACE in the death of 28-year-old Marshall Balduff. Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Jack Driscoll writes in his charging decision that Balduff had a blood alcohol level of 0.18 and a “foot-long” knife when he tried to force his way through a dog door into Wallace’s house on March 6. Investigators report Balduff had threatened people in the house and refused multiple warnings to leave in the moments before he was shot once and killed by Wallace. “It would be reasonable for a jury to conclude that Wallace acted on a good faith belief, based on Balduff’s actions, that he, or another, faced actual danger of great personal injury or death,” Driscoll writes, adding, “No

charges will be filed.” Driscoll filed the decision memo on June 14, but the Prosecutor’s Office did not release the memo until Oct. 4, following multiple public records requests. Balduff’s family has questioned what they consider to be inconsistencies in the investigation and asked why Wallace did not call 911 for police assistance prior to the shooting. — JACOB JONES

Despite technical glitches that marred the opening of Washington state’s HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGE, more than 9,000 people have successfully enrolled in coverage since the online marketplace debuted last week, more than half of which are newly eligible Medicaid enrollees. According to the latest figures released by the Washington Health Benefit Exchange, 9,452 people Send comments to completed enrollments, including editor@inlander.com. 916 in qualified health plans, 2,594 in immediate Medicaid coverage and 5,946 in expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. An additional 10,497 people have applied for qualified health plans, but haven’t paid for them yet. The Washington Healthplanfinder website, where consumers can shop for health plans, garnered more than 837,000 total site visits and 2.5 million page views in its first week of operation. Exchange officials hope to enroll 130,000 people with qualified health plans by January 2014 and another 280,000 by January 2015. — DEANNA PAN

s citizens streamed forward to the microphone Monday, Councilman Steve Salvatori looked out to the audience and down at his hands, long-faced and exasperated. “Transparency is awkward until your eyes adjust to the light,” Salvatori told the group, carefully choosing his words to explain an ordinance he championed that was now a shell of its former self. Though Salvatori initially introduced an ordinance that would have granted far-reaching independence to the city’s Office of Police Ombudsman, the version approved Monday simply established a citizen commission to oversee the office, putting on hold provisions like the authority to conduct independent investigations of police actions. After 21 months of police contract negotiations and a ballot measure to add the strengthened ombudsman to the City Charter, the move began as an attempt to bypass or speed up secret guild negotiations. Then, late last week, the city administration announced it had reached a tentative agreement with the guild, but wouldn’t discuss any details publicly until guild members pass the agreement and it goes to the council for consideration. Councilmembers were briefed in executive session last week about the agreement, leaving them in the awkward position of knowing what the contract grants the ombudsman but not being able to discuss it — even as they voted on an ordinance about the ombudsman. “This is not where we want to be tonight,” said Councilman Jon Snyder. “This is not ideal.” The vote came after a month of shepherding the ordinance through the council process and, the council says, pleas Monday from Police Chief Frank Straub to hold off for fear of upsetting the guild at such a fragile stage. Salvatori also faced criticism for sharing too much about the still-confidential guild contract. After learning the details of the agreement in confidential meetings, Salvatori sought legal advice from local watchdog nonprofit the Center for Justice. Center representatives told the Inlander Friday that Salvatori showed them the part of the agreement outlining ombudsman powers and that it didn’t explicitly allow independent investigations, long advocated for by the Center and now outlined in the city charter as a result of February’s vote on Proposition 1. (Salvatori says he didn’t expect the details of his meeting with the Center to become public.) Center for Justice representatives railed against the council and city administration Monday night for not doing more to make sure a tentative agreement squared with Proposition 1. “When this becomes public, you’re all going to be suffering with the embarrassment that it did not, and that has cost us time that we didn’t have,” said the Center’s communications director

Oversight advocates continue to push for independent investigative powers for Spokane’s Office of Police Ombudsman, currently held by Tim Burns. YOUNG KWAK PHOTO Tim Connor, expressing concerns about the impact of secret negotiations on public trust of the police. “We anticipated everything that has gone on in the last few days, as the guild saw us rushing toward democracy and made sure that we couldn’t get there tonight.” Salvatori called Monday’s action a “compromise” between those asking him to put off the ordinance altogether and those who want an empowered ombudsman before guild negotiations are finalized. “I am totally ill-equipped to deal with that kind of process,” Salvatori says of closed-door negotiations and confidentiality mandates. “The last thing you expect when you get into office is to have such an elimination of public process … on things that are policy driven.” Monday’s vote leaves everything else outlined in Salvatori’s original ordinance — most notably, independent investigative powers for the ombudsman — to a later ordinance, which the council plans to pass at the same time as the guild contract. Stuckart asked councilmembers Salvatori, Snyder and Nancy McLaughlin to start working on that ordinance. He says once the guild approves the agreement, which he expects to happen later this month, he’ll schedule three public forums throughout November and early December to hear citizen input on the contract. That could mean an approved contract and an ordinance to go with it by the end of the year. At Monday’s meeting, Peace and Justice Action League Executive Director Liz Moore asked the councilmembers to each make a public pledge that they would reject a guild contract that does not explicitly grant expanded powers. No one took her up on the offer from the dais, but Salvatori says citizens can expect nothing less. “There’ll be hell to pay if we don’t come up with independent investigative authority. That’s not a secret,” Salvatori says. “We have to figure out how we get there.” n heidig@inlander.com

t’s been nearly 70 years since the idea first surfaced and a decade since workers first broke ground. But the future path of Spokane’s North-South Freeway, winding all the way to I-90, remains unbroken and unfunded, and city council members want to remind state lawmakers just how much remains to be done. In a study session last month, councilmembers agreed the project should be high on its wish list of issues the city will ask its lobbyists to focus on in the 2014 state legislative session, which starts in January. They should also guard against “regulations that hamper urban development,” especially fire code regulations, the council decided. Council president Ben Stuckart and others say they’re concerned state lawmakers are considering mandating fire sprinklers in all single family homes. “I find that an impossible burden if we want people to move inside the city,” Stuckart told councilmembers. “I understand sprinklers save lives, but we’re not going to be able to revitalize any of our neighborhoods if you have to put in sprinklers every time you touch [a house].” Along with development in the University District, the list includes a handful of issues that, like the North-South Freeway, carried over from last year: a ban or fee on studded tires, changes to labor arbitration laws and dollars for the public works trust fund, which usually offers low-interest loans to local governments for infrastructure projects but was tapped last year to help cover other costs to the state’s general fund. Meanwhile, Mayor David Condon’s administration is crafting its own list of priorities, as is Greater Spokane Incorporated, which usually focuses on economic development issues and will announce its final list in early December. The administration and council priorities will also get a final vote later this year. The Association of Washington Cities, where councilmember Nancy McLaughlin has served as president and currently sits on the Legislative Steering Committee, has approved its preliminary list with an eye toward taxes. The group is again urging the state to increase the amount of liquor tax revenue passed on to cities and wants the Legislature to act on marijuana. Along with a cut of new pot taxes, the group wants medical marijuana rules in place to square that market with the new recreational one. A transportation package, potentially funded by tax increases, and the public works trust fund also made the list. The council is likely to sign on in support of each group’s list.  heidig@inlander.com

Students in a class titled “Animals” — which the instructor describes as “a semester-long autodrama on steroids, without human communication skills.”

Monkey See, Monkey Do Why a group of University of Idaho students is learning to crawl, grunt and howl BY MATT BENOIT

n a grassy clearing at the University of Idaho’s Shattuck Arboretum, 14 wild animals are taking a midafternoon nap. In the distance, a bell tower chimes 2 o’clock, and as if on cue, a black bear begins stirring. It rises slowly, lets out a growl and lumbers up a path before climbing into a tree. There, it waits as two humans, crawling on all fours, slowly pass by. This isn’t an experimental zoology study — it’s an acting class. The black bear, 22-year-old Anthony Luna, is a senior majoring in theater performance. “It’s been a mythic class for, like, four years,” says Luna, covered in dirt and grass after the class’ second

outdoor session. The class, titled “Animals,” is an elective offering in its 12th year at the university. In his syllabus, instructor David Lee-Painter describes the course as “a semesterlong autodrama on steroids, without human communication skills.” Students drink from a plastic watering hole, run their “paws” through leafy piles of brush and howl on their haunches. “If you’re just to walk in, it looks completely insane,” Lee-Painter says. Startled outsiders walking through the arboretum have thought so. Some have called police.

MATT BENOIT PHOTOS

WALK LIKE THE ANIMALS

The method to the course’s madness is to enhance an actor’s primal instincts for the stage. Lee-Painter learned of the animal acting technique from Jean Scharfenberg, an instructor at his graduate school, Illinois State University. Scharfenberg learned the concept from famed acting instructor Lee Strasberg, whom she studied with the Actor’s Studio. At Illinois State, “Animals” was a signature performance course, and students who took it include actors John Malkovich, Gary Sinise, Jane Lynch and others. When Lee-Painter began teaching theater at University of Idaho in 1995, he used the technique as part of another course. Its popularity, however, led “Animals” to become a separate class, and Lee-Painter took the technique a step further by taking students outside. After signing up for the class — offered this year to non-performance majors for the first time — students must select and research either a predatory or territorial animal. Students then take a group trip to a Portland or Seattle-area zoo to observe their chosen animal, returning to the classroom to give presentations about why they

The high court’s decision created a “wacky policy result,” says Necochea: “Families who work for low wages or have hit hard times remain vulnerable to health emergencies, while families with higher incomes receive assistance to pay for coverage.” Under ACA, individuals earning between 100 and 400 percent of the federal poverty line (or $11,490 and $45,960, respectively) who purchase insurance in the online exchanges can apply for tax-credit subsidies to offset the cost of their plans.

resident Obama’s health care reform law is a politically volatile issue in Idaho, where, in 2010, Republican Gov. Butch Otter became the first state executive to sign a law authorizing his attorney general to sue the federal government if residents are required to buy health insurance. Otter, however, has since moderated his position on Obamacare; he’s still against it, but he’s willing to make the law work on Idaho’s terms. He formed a workgroup of public and private stakeholders to study the state’s Medicaid options, and twice the group unanimously voted to expand Medicaid. According to the consulting firm Milliman, hired to study the issue, Medicaid expansion would result in a net savings of $9.8 million between 2014 and 2024. A big chunk of those savings comes from the assumption that the state and counties will spend less on services for the medically indigent, 90 percent of whom would be eligible for insurance coverage through expansion. Last session, Idaho state lawmakers spent more than 15 hours on the floor debating (and eventually passing) the creation of Idaho state-based health insurance exchange. It was the longest debate Rep. John Rusche, D-Lewiston, remembers in his nine years in the Legislature. In March, the House Health and Welfare Committee voted unanimously to introduce a pair of bills that would expand Medicaid eligibility and repeal the state’s catastrophic health care fund. But state leaders refused to give the bills hearings. Rusche, who plans to bring up the issue next session, thinks Medicaid expansion is a no-brainer, but he says it’s unlikely that Medicaid expansion will pass next year with primary elections looming in the spring. “I’m also afraid it’s too hot of a political issue for Republicans to allow it to come up, because the party legislators are very conservative and won’t have anything to do with Obamacare,” he says. “If you’re a moderate Republican in a swing district and you vote for Obamacare, you can pretty well guarantee someone is going to run against you in the primary coming from the right side of the political spectrum.” Meanwhile, people like Robin Evans are frustrated about their lack of options for affordable health care. “Obamacare isn’t helping those that need it the most,” Evans says. “We’re not looking for somebody to hand us something for nothing. We’re just looking to survive. We just want a hand up. Between the Idaho state legislators and the federal government, I don’t know. It seems like it’s getting harder and harder and harder.” n deannap@inlander.com

experiencing long bouts of intense pain, Evans finally checked into the emergency room at a nearby hospital. She had a kidney stone, about half the size of a cigarette butt. Between her ER stay, CAT scan, shockwave procedure to remove the kidney stone and visits with a urologist in Lewiston, Evans now has $27,000 in medical bills hanging over her head. “I don’t have insurance. I live paycheck to paycheck. I’m not making any payments on this,” she says. Epperly sees two solutions to Idaho’s health coverage gap: Either expand Medicaid or raise minimum wage so more people can afford insurance. Idaho leads the nation in its share of hourly workers making as little as $7.25. “Something’s gotta give here,” he says. “This really boils down to dollars and cents in many ways.”

Shutdown Squad Idaho and Eastern Washington’s congressional leaders show just how difficult it will be to end the government shutdown BY DANIEL WALTERS

hile blame over the partial shutdown of the federal government has sent fingers pointing, make no mistake: the Republican-controlled House started it. To keep funding the government, a “continuing resolution” needed to pass both houses of Congress. But every variation of the resolutions from the House came with an extra demand: Defund or delay major pieces of the Affordable Care Act, the health reform package also known as “Obamacare.” The Senate, controlled by Democrats, was unsurprisingly reticent to make huge changes to the president’s signature piece of legislation and outright refused to pass the resolution. But now the question is less “Who started it?” and more “Can anyone end it?” Republicans don’t want to walk away from this showdown empty-handed. But Democrats, including Obama, don’t want to negotiate until the government starts back up again, saying they’re tired of seeing crises used for political leverage. To understand just how tricky it will be to extract the government from the shutdown, look no further than Idaho and Eastern Washington’s senators and representatives.

CATHY McMORRIS RODGERS: VOICE OF THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT

As House Republican Conference chair, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers has been a close ally of Speaker of the House John Boehner. Behind the scenes, national reporting has highlighted serious uncertainty among GOP leadership. But publicly, McMorris Rodgers’ message has not wavered. She blames Democrats for refusing to compromise, condemns barricades erected around open-air memorials, highlights Republican attempts to reopen some important parts of the government and criticizes Obamacare. In a USA Today editorial last week, she used the Spokane region to justify the House’s fervent opposition to Obamacare. “No matter where I go when I’m home in Eastern Washington — the grocery store, the local coffee shop, the county fair — the concern is the same: Obamacare is making life harder for everyday Americans,” she wrote. That article earned her pushback — the Seattle Times dedicated a story last week to McMorris Rodgers’ constituents who’d been bothered by her rhetoric. But to the Inlander, McMorris Rodgers maintains Obamacare has been “overwhelmingly” opposed

locally. She argues that tying government funding to a one-year delay in the individual mandate (requiring everyone to have insurance) is perfectly reasonable — after all, Obama had already delayed the mandate for employers. Ending the shutdown “starts with getting to the table and starting to talk,” McMorris Rodgers says. Democrats say they’re more than willing to negotiate if Republicans pass a “clean” continuing resolution without any extra baggage, but McMorris Rodgers isn’t biting. “‘I give you everything you want and then you’re going to start talking to me?’ That’s not a negotiation,” McMorris Rodgers says. “It’s outrageous — it’s ‘either my way or the highway.’”

RAUL LABRADOR: THE GOP HARDLINER

“I’ve been, for two months, leading the charge to making sure that we could delay Obamacare for a year,” says Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador. “The law’s not ready for prime time.” After Labrador was elected in 2010, he clashed with Boehner, accusing him of “abandoning” conservatives. In January, Labrador helped organize opposition to Boehner’s re-election as speaker. He’s criticized Boehner for being too willing to buckle under pressure, too quick to give up a good hand by folding. But lately, Labrador has been proud of Boehner’s ability to stand his ground. “I think he’s done a very good job with this,” Labrador says. Many congressional reporters argue the ground Boehner has to stand on is limited, precisely because of Republicans like Labrador. If he folds now, National Review’s Robert Costa reports, Boehner risks angering hardliners, further complicating negotiations for the upcoming debt limit. “The insurgents are now his palace guards,” the Washington Post wrote, describing how powerful the far right has become. After the shutdown, the New York Times cited Labrador as one of a small group of hardliners who “outflanked” House leadership. Labrador was among the first dozen House Republicans to sign onto a letter in August encouraging Boehner to refuse to fund Obamacare in the

. . COMING 11 1 12 2 13 24 INLANDER OCTOBER 10, 2013

continuing resolution. But in this fight, Labrador sees Republican unity, not division: “How could a small group of conservatives tie [Boehner’s] hands? We have a majority of the conference with us. When leadership has been following a more conservative position, and listening to us as conservatives, we’ve had a more unified conference,” he says. “The irony’s that it’s the ones who don’t want to fight that find themselves in the minority.”

MIKE SIMPSON: THE MODERATE

Labrador’s eastern neighbor Mike Simpson, meanwhile, was making headlines for a different reason: A comment to a Roll Call reporter earned him a spot on the Washington Post’s tally of approximately 22 Republican moderates supposedly willing to pass a clean continuing resolution to fund the government. He’s proof of what a moderate image gets you in Idaho: A primary opponent, funded by the Club for Growth. “Congressman Mike Simpson is showing his true colors as a leader today,” Simpson’s opponent Bryan Smith says in a press release. “He is willing to cave to Senator Harry Reid and President Obama instead of standing up and fighting for the people of Idaho.” Simpson took to his website to clarify: “Let me be clear, I am going to continue to support the position of our Republican Caucus in the ongoing shutdown dispute,” he said, explaining he’d be willing to support passing a clean resolution, but only a very short and temporary one. Such hedging calls into questions claims there are enough supportive Republicans in the House to successfully pass a clean continuing resolution. So far, the question is purely academic: Boehner has not been willing to even allow a vote on the issue.

PATTY MURRAY: THE BUDGET BOSS

In the Democratic-controlled Senate, meanwhile, Washington Sen. Patty Murray, chair of the Senate Budget Committee, could be crucial to a deal to end

the shutdown. Republicans have pointed to unofficial talks between Murray and House Budget Committee Chair Paul Ryan as a possible path through the shutdown crisis. But when Boehner repeatedly mentioned those talks in conversations with President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid laughed. “I couldn’t take it any longer. I said: ‘Stop it. They’ve met a few times and talked about nothing,’” Reid said, according to the New York Times. “The meetings were only for you, for show.” This year, Murray eliminated a longtime Republican talking point by passing a Senate budget for the first time in four years. No surprise: It was much more liberal than Ryan’s budget in the House. But on 19 occasions during the past six months, Democrats have asked Republicans for a conference committee to hammer out the differences between the two budgets. If they’d been able to agree on a full budget, the government shutdown wouldn’t have happened. The intention of the talks between Ryan and Murray, Murray spokesman Matt McAlvanah says, was merely to get the parties to the conference committee table. “Since Republicans have been unwilling to do that, those conversations have in fact been less than productive to this point.” Republicans have refused to meet, calling for preconditions. “Until Senator Murray is willing to address the spending [reductions put into place with the] Budget Control Act, we haven’t been willing to go to the table,” McMorris Rodgers says. Now that Republicans say they want budget negotiations, Murray and Senate Democrats say they aren’t willing to hold those negotiations until the government shutdown ends. “It’s allowing yourself to be negotiated with a gun to your head — either you do this, or we tank the economy,” McAlvanah says. “That’s not the kind of negotiating tactic that Senator Murray is willing to do. … A lot of what she’s doing is making a stand against that type of governing by crisis.” So far, neither side shows signs of budging. And the stakes are about to get higher than closed national parks, shuttered offices and furloughed federal workers. Next Thursday, the United States will hit its debt limit ceiling yet again. If Congress can’t agree to raise it, the economic consequences could be disastrous — and far from temporary. n danielw@inlander.com

he’s a 74-year-old Catholic nun who stands by electric chairs and prays with men during their last days. When I ask Sister Helen Prejean whether this is what she envisioned her life would be like, she starts laughing into the phone. “What do you think?!” she says. Her journey began in the 1980s, when she corresponded with two death row inmates and eventually witnessed their executions. It’s an experience she captured in her book Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States (which was made into an

Academy Award-winning movie). To this day, Prejean continues to write and lecture about the death penalty. The Inlander spoke with Prejean on the phone to ask whether or not she thinks capital punishment will ever go away, and what are the biggest tasks facing the American justice system. INLANDER: Your work with death row inmates has been documented at length, but after all these years, what is your stance on capital punishment today? SR. PREJEAN: What I learned in the beginning

from being with people who were executed, and also being with the victims’ families and also with the guards who have to carry out the executions, [my] stance is what I have seen close up as an eyewitness: that the death penalty is mostly about political symbolism. The reality is it doesn’t solve anything. It’s futile. In a way, it’s an act of profound despair for us to try to show that killing is wrong, and that we abhor killing, and that we want to killing to stop … and we do that by imitating the worst possible behavior. It’s amazing to me that we’re still doing ...continued on next page it.

CULTURE | JUSTICE

“DECRYING DEATH,” CONTINUED... I was up at San Quentin [State Prison] two days ago, and I looked up and there’s five tiers of cells back to back. Over 724 people condemned to death in California … you see that [the death penalty] has got to be driven by this political symbolism, because what would make a district attorney go for the death penalty? Something that cost millions, and probably won’t [result in anyone being] executed. So why do you think the death penalty still exists? I’ve figured one of the last reasons — because people know it isn’t a deterrent, people who do crimes don’t even think they’re going to get caught, there’s not a lot of consciousness — is that when people run for political office, it is the easiest symbol in the world that you are really tough on crime. Simply say you’re for the death penalty, because that’s the toughest penalty we can give. And we have to do it for the victims’ families … whether consciously or not, the victims’ family has given us the ultimate legitimization for the death penalty. But does the death penalty, in your experience, help the families of victims? What I know, knowing victims’ families, sometimes it’s so sad: you see them come out of the death penalty trial and they’re putting up their fingers in a “V” for victory. ‘We got him!’ And then they start waiting … for 10 years, 20 years. And what’s the promise? … As more and more victims’ families are speaking out now, they say that revictimizes [them]. And the person who did the crime gets all the media attention, all the notoriety.

Sr. Prejean’s book inspired the Academy Award winning film.

What is it that keeps you coming back to this work? It’s the dignity of the people that have been condemned to death, who are made to feel that they’re nothing more than basically human refuse to be disposed of — that they’re so evil that the only way we can carry on as a society is to kill them. To terminate their lives. To rid ourselves of them. And I look into their eyes. … when you encounter the human person like that, you know that everybody is worth more than the worst thing. We all are. What do you think is the biggest task facing our justice system right now? We know where the violence comes from in our society. It comes out of poverty, it comes out of addiction… you put oily rags next to a kerosene canister, you’re gonna have a fire. All of these are things we have to solve, but at least this: we have to take death off the table. Let’s acknowledge that we can’t handle death. Realistically, do you think capital punishment will go away? It is going away.

hom Caraway has a new job — he’s your official poet. As the first-ever Spokane poet laureate, Caraway will be the go-to figure for all things literary in Spokane. He’s also going to write about Spokane, something the West Central resident has been doing for years, winning awards for his work along the way. Caraway, a senior lecturer at Whitworth University, got right to work. After being announced as Spokane’s poet laureate over the weekend at the Individual World Poetry Slam championships, Caraway stood before the Spokane City Council meeting on Monday night. After a brief introduction, he read his poem “Ash,” a piece packed with imagery, the title of which referred both to the street that runs across his city and vivid images of a fire burning on a winter day. Caraway, who will be writing and reading more over the course of his two-year term, also is looking to champion a burgeoning literary scene in the city. “For the poets in the area, the goal is to highlight and showcase them in a way that raises the public’s awareness of what’s going on around them,” says Caraway, 40, who holds a doctorate in English. Caraway had heard about the new position and encouraged several writer friends to apply. They said he should put his name in the hat, too. And soon, he got the call saying he’d be Spokane’s poet laureate. He’s glad to be the champion for poets in a city where there’s no shortage of them — but there’s sometimes a shortage of recognition for their works. “There are a lot of poets in this area, and they’re all

A Fresh Face Zuill Bailey plans to bring awareness to the Inland Northwest’s classical music scene By Laura Johnson

onfusion begins from the top, when the first chair violinist (concertmaster) comes out from the wings meeting the orchestra; here, you’re supposed to clap. The A note is given from the oboe and tuning is initiated; no clapping when that’s completed. The conductor materializes — do clap here. Silence then blankets the space. The maestro brings the baton up and the orchestra takes its cue to play. If the piece has multiple movements, clapping isn’t correct in between; wait until the end. It’s because of these types of uncomfortable formalities that there’s been a lot of dumbing-down of classical music to try to attract younger crowds. But cellist Zuill Bailey doesn’t accept that that’s the way to bring in an audience. “Classical music is often seen as something off limits, but it’s not at all,” Bailey says from his home in El Paso, Texas. “The answer is more exposure, and the knowledge that what we’re bringing in talent-wise is the best in the world.” This year, after Gunther Schuller retired, Bailey took over as director of the Northwest Bach Festival. Fittingly, Bailey has spent his life mastering Bach’s works for the cello. Bailey says people should be awed and respectful at what classical music is in its most pure and enigmatic form. “That’s why I always dress up, not down, when I’m going to perform,” he says. Bailey’s name is illustrious in the cello world. Starting his craft at age 4, he grew up not only in a musical family, but in an area outside of Washington, D.C., saturated in classical music. It’s the kind of community Bailey wants to emulate no matter where he goes; it’s what he wants to bring to Spokane. How Bailey came to be here is rather serendipitous. A staple in the El Paso music scene as a teacher at University of Texas-El Paso and artistic director of El Paso Pro Musica, he took over duties in Sitka, Alaska, as artistic director of its music festival. Traveling between the two led to many layovers in Seattle, and an invitation to play the Bach Cello Suites at the Northwest Bach Festival a few years ago. From there a conversation was sparked. “It’s daunting because you’re on the shoulder of giants, with Gunther, and I’ve been given the responsibility of not just investing ideas but also blood, sweat and tears,” Bailey says. “I’m trying to give back what I was so prolifically given growing up.” What catapults someone’s career as a soloist is somewhat of a mystery — a rare combination of technique, artistry and personality that can be difficult to explain. Bailey reasons he’s been so

That’s what people want to see on stage, a sincerity.” This weekend, Bailey lends his sincerity to the Spokane Symphony for the first time, bringing together the Bach Festival and Symphony. Bach will not be performed; instead the Schumann “Cello Concerto” and Tchaikovsky’s “Rococo Variations” will emanate from the Fox Theater stage. “This is a different kind of situation because

Anything Goes opens up the Best of Broadway season.

Josh Franklin went from understudy to leading man on the S.S. American in Anything Goes BY E.J. IANNELLI

“I

n olden days a glimpse of stocking / was looked upon as something shocking / but now, God knows, / anything goes,” run the lines to Cole Porter’s tune “Anything Goes,” which was written for the 1934 musical of the same name. Penned in the thick of the socioeconomic upheaval of the Great Depression, Porter’s characteristically spry couplets express a familiar (and glibly tongue-in-cheek) lament over the permissiveness of contempo-

rary society relative to some past golden age, all while lampooning the high-society figures of that era. Those same lines also try to make sense of the madcap farce that’s playing out onstage — one where a mild-mannered Wall Street broker boards a cruise ship and finds himself pretending to be a

notorious gangster, and where romances ebb and flow like the ocean tide. Anything Goes was one of the first generation of productions that today’s audiences would recognize as a proper Broadway musical, in which song and dance are a cohesive part of the narrative. Despite its age, it has remained an audience favorite throughout its almost 80-year history. That’s due in large part to Porter’s “timeless” music and wit, says Josh Franklin, who plays the aforementioned Wall Street broker named Billy Crocker. “Cole Porter was ahead of his time in a lot of ways,” he says. “Some of the jokes in his lyrics were initially inside jokes written for a small group of people, but we get the references even more nowadays.” To keep Anything Goes limber, its libretto has been subject to several revisions: first in 1962, then in 1987 and most recently in 2011, which is the multiple Tony Award-winning version that will be coming to the INB Performing Arts Center as part of the Best of Broadway series. “The little tweaks in the script have been really beneficial,” says Franklin. “In some ways they went back to the original formula. We have the character Erma, who sings ‘Buddie, Beware.’” This revision also brings back “Gypsy in Me” from the 1934 production and cuts “Let’s Misbehave,” first introduced in the 1962 revival. For Franklin, who’s become a favorite casting choice of Anything Goes director and choreographer Kathleen Marshall and has seen his star ascend rapidly both as an actor and a recording artist, much of this is euphorically new. He leapt

from ensemble and understudy roles in national productions of Legally Blonde and All Shook Up to playing Bob Gaudio in Jersey Boys, the jukebox musical chronicling the career arc of the Four Seasons. It was a leap he almost didn’t make. “I didn’t really see it coming,” he says. “I was doing Legally Blonde, understudying on Broadway, and I was focusing on writing a musical and also my singer/songwriter stuff. And for a second there I thought, ‘I’m done with performing. I’m going to sit back and write.’” That’s when his agent called with an audition for Jersey Boys. By the following morning, he’d been cast as the show’s lead. Although Anything Goes is the first classical musical he’s done and is “vastly different” to Jersey Boys in its style (“I’ve not danced quite this much,” Franklin chuckles), he’s noticed considerable audience overlap. “It’s interesting to watch,” he says. “The same young theater fans that go crazy for Jersey Boys or Wicked or any of these big pop musicals are loving this. There are some of the corniest jokes ever, but they’re so funny in the world of the show.” All joking aside, Franklin attributes the show’s wow factor to its colossal tap number. “After dancing for nine minutes, the star, Reno Sweeney (played by Rachel York), turns around and belts a high note,” he says. “Which just gives you everything you’d want.”  Anything Goes • Through Oct. 13, showtimes vary depending on date • INB Performing Arts Center • 334 W.

America’s Condiment We love mayonnaise — it makes everything g o down easier

34 INLANDER OCTOBER 10, 2013

BY ARI LEVAUX

mericans eat more mayonnaise than any other condiment, according to Businessweek, which named three mayo brands in the top six selling condiments. The proliferation of niche mayo brands, and at least one gourmet mayo shop, suggest it could undergo a bacon-like renaissance. Clearly, we love our mayo, but we do we know why? The other three condiments in Businessweek’s top six were ketchup, salsa, and Miracle Whip, which is often conflated with mayonnaise. But Miracle Whip is thickened with starch, while mayonnaise achieves its coveted body via the process of emulsification. An emulsion occurs when two liquids that typically don’t mix are coerced into doing so, thanks to the presence of an emulsifier. In the case of mayonnaise, the emulsifier is lecithin, which is found in egg yolk, among other places. This emulsification is a key aspect of why mayo behaves the way it does, and can also be a source of confusion. Scott Jones, Chef de Cuisine at Boston’s No. 9 Park, loves mayo with a passion that renders him basically unable to comprehend that people exist who don’t like it. He blames lack of understanding about emulsification. “I have never understood why people don’t like mayonnaise, because in its essence it’s just a vinaigrette that has been stabilized with egg yolk,” Jones told me by phone. Mayonnaise should have a humble, complementary flavor that doesn’t steal the show, but is assertive enough to improve the food. And it needs that custard-like texture that will add body to food, instead of collapsing into Miracle Puddle. Beyond the process of emulsion at its core, according to Jones, mayo is essentially a distillation of French cuisine that you can dollop onto whatever’s on the table. “Mayonnaise, smeared on something, just makes it more delicious. All you’ve done is just add some fat and some vinegar, which is really everything that the French want on everything. Mayonnaise is like the perfect balance of things. It’s just like a decent vinaigrette, you’ve got the texture from the fat, and the heaviness, and the lightness from the acidity. That’s what I want on everything.” By Jones’ standard, egg yolk shouldn’t be essential, as a vinaigrette could be stabilized with a different emulsifier. But when I told Jones that I prefer Vegenaise — a mayo-like product emulsified with soy lecithin and not egg

Sensory Spectrum, which specializes in “linking product understanding and consumer understanding.” She says a key quality of mayo is “lubricity,” which she describes as, “moistness — a fatty moistness as opposed to a wet moistness, which makes it easier to eat. If you were to eat tuna fish out of a can, it would not be easy to eat because it’s so dry. When you add mayonnaise, it adds a nice lubricity that makes it easier to chew and swallow.” The egg flavor in mayo, she told me, is important to her, but she was open to the possibility that another oil/acid emulsion could hold its own in the lubricity department. Chef Jones also acknowledged as much. “We had a vegan come in and order a salad that we have on the menu that has mayonnaise as a main component. I felt bad giving her the salad without mayonnaise. So we made some vegan mayonnaise on the fly, and we were impressed with how it came out.” His emulsifier: soy lecithin, the very emulsifier used in Vegenaise. “It does a good job,” he admitted. The vegan mayo “came out tasting pretty good, actually. I was impressed.” An emulsion is like a marriage, and the emulsifier is like the officiant. While this person, and what he or she stands for, is important and must be chosen carefully, it is the bride and groom who will make or break the partnership. The success or failure of mayo depends less on how it came to be than what it does. “It’s the lubricity, the moistness, and the compatibility of the flavor with the things you put it in,” Civille summarized. n

Bundt Cake Homecoming A national bakery chain with Northwest ties opens on the South Hill BY JO MILLER

amuel Canty and his family were on their way to a friend’s house for brunch with the intention of bringing a coffee cake. Instead, his dad suggested picking up a cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes, a bakery the rest of the family had never heard of. Canty had been looking into a couple of different franchise opportunities, but once he tasted Nothing Bundt Cakes, it caught his attention. “We tried it and it was amazing,” he says. Now, the 25-year-old — along with his mom — is opening a Nothing Bundt Cakes on the South Hill, and the family came back to the Northwest just to do so. After growing up in Hayden, Idaho, Canty’s family moved to northern California when he was 13. But they always knew they wanted to return to the Northwest. “This is the perfect opportunity to do just that,” Canty says. The Bundt-cake bakery chain has about 70 locations nationwide, but this will be the first to open in Washington. It’s a homecoming not only for Canty, but also for Nothing Bundt Cakes cofounder Debra Shwetz, who grew up on the South Hill. Shwetz was crowned the 1975 Lilac Princess, attended Lewis and Clark High School and later graduated from the University of Washington. At the Spokane location’s official opening on Friday, Oct. 11, the cakes Shwetz dreamed up with cofounder Dena Tripp in Las Vegas will finally make their way into the mouths of her fellow Spokanites.

Nothing Bundt Cakes has nine year-round cake flavors and one seasonal flavor. (From October to Christmas you can get pumpkin spice.) Each cake — whether it’s white chocolate raspberry, chocolate chocolate chip, red velvet or cinnamon swirl — is wrapped in chunky strokes of pedalBundtinis — a bundt cupcake. shaped cream cheese frosting. The cakes come in both individual and large sizes. The Bundtinis are a 12-pack of bite-sized cakes and the Bundtlets are a single serving. “The Bundtlet is sort of our answer to the cupcake,” Canty says. The 8 and 10-inch cakes can come simply frosted or decorated for occasions with large colorful flowers, signs, party hats and more.  Nothing Bundt Cakes • Grand opening celebration Oct. 25 and 26 • 2525 E. 29th St. • Mon-Sat 9 am-6 pm • nothingbundtcakes. com • 535-4864

Fall Sipping

Fresh hops, cans on the way and more from your local brewery scene BY MIKE BOOKEY

all is a good time for beer lovers. The hops have been harvested, yielding new brews, the pumpkin ales are pouring and the big winter beers are waiting in the wings. It’s been a crazy few months in the Spokane beer community, so let’s get you caught up. Iron Goat Brewing Co. debuted a trio of excellent fresh hop beers this fall. All of them were on tap at the first-ever Inland Northwest Craft Beer Festival a couple of weeks ago, earning them one of the festival’s longer lines. Both the Citra and Centennial fresh hop ales proved aromatic, as a good fresh-hopper should, but even more intriguing was their Spo-Hop. This fresh-hopped ale was created with 60 pounds of hops farmed from around town by local growers, Iron Goat fans and the Iron Goat brewers themselves — a community brewing effort, if you will. These beers were made in seriously small batches, so you’ll want to head to the Iron Goat tap room before this stuff is all sucked down. Something always seems to be in motion over at No-Li Brewhouse. Their latest announcement

came this week, revealing their new No Boundaries series. The 22-ounce line features a new brew every two to three months; the first release, a bold winter brew called Winter Warmer at 7.5 percent alcohol, shipped out this week. Expect the next No Boundaries beer in January. We’ve been waiting a few months for Spokane’s first canned craft brew to hit the market, and it looks like Orlison Brewing is getting mighty close to rolling out their signature lagers. Cans are at the brewery and are being filled — you’ll have one in your hands soon. On the tasting room front, there’ll be two more places to sip in Spokane soon, as River City Brewing has plans to open a tap room later this fall. The location at 111 S. Cedar St., formerly occupied by the Whitestone Winery tasting room, is in the same building as River City’s brewing facility. Also, Ramblin’ Road Beer has plans to open their Gonzaga-district tasting room (730 N. Columbus St.) sometime in November, giving Spokane a taste of their Belgian-style creations. n

resh, bright, tropical and yet prominent throughout Latin America, the carambola fruit is the inspiration for the Coeur d’Alene cafe of the same name. Run by Colomba Zavala-Aguilar, her father Juan and husband Carlos, Cafe Carambola serves lunch-only crowds in a cozy storefront along Northwest Boulevard. Cafe Carambola’s menu features salads, soups, drinks, quesadillas and tortas (sandwiches) that reflect chef Colomba’s fusion cooking style. From-scratch French bread, for example, reflects French influences on Central Mexican cuisine, while the contents of Carambola’s

sandwiches run the cultural gamut from the El Cubanito (pulled pork and pineapple salsa) to El Argentino (with chimichurri). Recipes blend travel experiences, family get-togethers, and Colomba’s classic training at San Francisco’s Le Cordon Bleu and its affiliate, the California Culinary Academy. Look for daily soup specials like the zesty sweet potato, as well as seasonally changing, Mexican-style fresh fruit coolers. — CARRIE SCOZZARO

But thanks to the people down at Arlo’s, that’s not the case. Next time you’re heading out to our neighboring state, you need to taste the food here and find out why so many locals love it. The restaurant has recently added its sensational flatbread pizzas to the permanent menu, as well as its mussels dish — a local favorite. Kick back with a great meal and a glass of wine and Arlo’s will cover your cab ride home — another of the restaurant’s great offerings. CAFÉ ITALIANO 4334 S. Regal St. | 290-6943 Café Italiano manager Vagelie Karatzas and his family relocated their two-year-old, home-style Italian joint to the corner of Regal and 43rd Street from a tiny strip-mall spot in the Indian Trail neighborhood. Both the size of the restaurant and its menu have roughly tripled, he says, with the menu offering classic

Italian cuisine, seafood, Greek and Mediterranean dishes. So far, the community’s reception has been very favorable. EUROPA 125 S. Wall St. | 455-4051 When longtime owner Janice Maas retired at the beginning of 2013, the restaurant’s veteran chef Jeff Engels and server Aja Engels stepped up to take over. Jeff has made his mark on the menu, improving all of the classic Italian dishes to accommodate hungry customers and increasing the number of events they host in their back room. Everything, from the time-intensive gnocchi (with spinach and lemon sage brown butter) to their acclaimed desserts, is made fresh, in-house. Come for the food but savor the rich, warm tones and inviting mood of this European-style building, with its brick walls and exposed-beam ceilings. LASAGNA’S-ON-YA 521 E.

The film doesn’t leave much time for viewers to ponder those notes, as almost immediately afterward, the captain sees a couple of mysterious and fast-approaching blips on his radar screen, and moments later attains visual contact — of men with guns on them — through his binoculars. There’s not much room to take a breath in Greengrass’ film after that, for a variety of reasons.

OPENING FILMS CAPTAIN PHILLIPS

The true story of the Vermont cargo ship captain who delivers food and water to Africa, and whose ship is hijacked by Somali pirates is both a nail-biter and a fascinating character study, mostly centering on the relationship between the cool, calm captain (Tom Hanks) and the determined but unsure pirate leader Muse (newcomer Barkhad Abdi). The adventure parts are thrilling, the attack and takeover is unnerving, the lifeboat sequences are claustrophobic. Another great film from director Paul Greengrass (United 93, the first two Bourne entries). (ES) Rated PG-13

On the surface, there’s an icky feel to bodybuilding — the popping veins, the greasy spray tans, the Speedos, the obvious signs of steroids — but this documentary looks at the other side of the sport.

This time out, forget about the socially conscious core that fueled the exploitation engine of the first film. Robert Rodriguez has gone for flat-out, no-message action comedy that is so outrageously over-the-top violent, it’s impossible to object to any of it. Machete (Danny Trejo) is invited, no refusal allowed, by the president of the United States (Charlie Sheen — not kidding) to head on down to Mexico and pull off a job that no legitimate American agent could manage: Stop the insane cartel lord from shooting a missile at Washington, D.C.

With him unconscious, she suddenly finds that she can tell him things she had not said in all of their years together, and by doing so, he has become, according to Persian myth, a syngue sabour, a stone that will protect her and take away her sadness. Struggling to survive and awaiting her husband’s awakening, slowly but surely, the woman falls in love with a young soldier and begins to strive for freedom. (ER) Rated R

THE INLANDER’S 20TH ANNIVERSARY MOVIE NIGHT AT

ROMEO AND JULIET

It’s a timeless story that once again has come to grace movie screens with its show of teenage passion and angst. This go around, Hailee Steinfeld takes on Juliet who once again falls in love with her sworn enemy, Romeo, portrayed by Douglas Booth. The tragedy of a family feud going terribly, horribly wrong is characterized by fabulous costumes and a beautiful setting, but it may or may not be enough for those of us who saw the other seemingly endless movie portrayals of Shakespeare’s classic. (ER) Rated PG-13 RETURNING

THE SPECTACULAR NOW

Sutter Keely is the most popular guy at his school. He’s funny, he parties, he has a hot girlfriend and he lives “in the moment,” that is until his girlfriend dumps him and he wakes up one morning on the lawn of “nice girl” Aimee’s house. Aimee (Shailene Woodley from The Descendants) is completely the opposite of Sutter: She has goals, she’s smart and a little shy and nerdy. In many ways, this plot seems like the typical “bad-boymeets-girl-next-door” coming-of-age story, but this film — from the writers of modern cult classic (500) Days of Summer — doesn’t take the harsh realities of youthful love and confusion about the future and tie it all up in a tidy little package.

NOW PLAYING BLUE JASMINE

New York socialite Jasmine (Cate Blanchett) is down on her luck. Her marriage to a wealthy husband (Alec Baldwin) fell apart after he lost all their money in a Wall Street scam, forcing Jasmine to move to San Francisco to live with her sister, Ginger, a grocery store clerk. To Jasmine, it seems like there’s not much left in her life to look forward to, as she struggles to cope with her downfall from a life of luxury to one where she’s forced to decide whether she should become a dental receptionist or a nurse. Writer/director Woody Allen presents us a modern yet familiar character study of how the haves and the have-nots perceive themselves. (CS) PG-13

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS TWO

Flint Lockwood (voice of Bill Hader,) the lovable inventor, has achieved his dreams and is now working for his idol, Chester V, creating things to benefit society. But when he learns that the food

machine he thought he had destroyed is still up and running this time producing scary humanoid food hybrids including melonheads, mosquitoasts, and shrimpanzees he and his team, including love interest and weather girl Sam Sparks (voice of Anna Faris,) must get rid of the machine once and for all in this animated flick. PG (ER)

DON JON

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises) stars in and makes his writing-directing feature debut as Jon, a nightclub hopper who likes and regularly scores with the ladies, but gets more satisfaction watching porn at home on his laptop. There aren’t too many sex-porn-addiction comedies out there, but this one kind of shines. A great supporting cast: Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore as possible love interests, Tony Danza and Glenne Headley as Jon’s parents, only make things better. (ES) Rated R

GETAWAY

METALLICA: THROUGH THE NEVER

Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), a divorcee, is facing the possibility of an empty nest, as her daughter goes off to college. As she bonds with similarly situated Albert (James Gandolfini) and the two click, it seems like the perfect romance. Eva also befriends Marianne (Catherine Keener), whose only flaw is her tendency to rag on and on about her ex-husband. When this friend’s ex-husband turns out to be her new boyfriend, Eva suddenly finds herself looking at Albert through Marianne’s eyes. (ER) Rated R Ethan Hawke gave us an amazing performance in the remarkable Before Midnight earlier this year, so it’s OK for him to take some time to do something, well, less remarkable. Here, Hawke plays Brent Magna, who used to be a professional race car driver, which comes in handy when his wife is kidnapped by some jerk and he has to steal some other chick’s car (that chick is a post-Bieber Selena Gomez; the car is a Shelby Mustang) and drive really fast to rescue said wife. (MB) Rated PG-13

GMO-OMG

GMO-OMG goes deep into the world of genetically modified food and its potential repercussions. Directed by Jeremy Seifert, this documentary follows a family trying to avoid eating GMOs in a world where it has become harder and harder for the average consumer to do just that. At Magic Lantern. (ER) Unrated

GRACE UNPLUGGED

Grace Trey (AJ Michalka) wants to sing about something other than God. As a talented performer in her church’s worship band, Grace wants a taste of her pop star dad’s fame, before he gave it all up to become a pastor. Running away from home and gaining stardom is more than little Grace bargained for, and she begins to think she should listen to her dad (James Denton) and cute intern (Michael Welch) and give up her new-found success to worship and serve the big man upstairs in this Christian drama. (ER) Rated PG

GRAVITY

Astronauts Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) and Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) perform extra-vehicular repairs on the Hubble space telescope and then all hell breaks loose when pieces of a destroyed satellite come their way. Thus begins a series of domino effect crises: Will they have enough air and/or jetpack life to make it to the station alive? Director Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men) uses crazy effects that dazzle, while also sometimes distracting from the story. (SR) Rated PG-13

IN A WORLD...

Lake Bell wrote, directed and stars in this big-hearted comedy that goes behind the scenes of the voiceover industry — in other words, the dude who says “In a world..” at the beginning of those action movie previews. As Carol, Bell gives us a luckless daughter of a voiceover master who is trying to forge her own career in the industry while also dealing with her nutso family. It’s quirky and full of laughs, but also a sign that Bell is an indie director to keep an eye on. At Magic Lantern (MB) Rated R.

RUNNER RUNNER

The Lambert family returns in the sequel to the bone-chilling thriller aptly named Insidious: Chapter Two. Patrick Wilson stars as Josh Lambert, the reassuring father to the now healing family, attempting to erase the events of the past. But as unusual things begin to once again happen in the household, Renai Lambert, played by Rose Byrne, begins to suspect that perhaps her husband’s reassurance is simply denial, and something has followed her hubby out of the spirit-world, (ER) Rated PG-13

They’ve made 10 albums, played hundreds of sold out concerts, and now, the heavy metal band have their own movie. Trip, played by Dane Dehaan, is a young roadie on tour with Metallica who is sent out to pick up some precious cargo. Along the way, he crashes his car, and must go head to head with a masked horseman. Features Metallica’s music as background to Trip’s epic adventure, as well as radically cool visuals. (ER) Rated R

POPULAIRE

1958. A boy, a girl and a typewriter. Rose Pamphyle (Déborah François) is a small town girl living in the big city and, incidentally, a terrible secretary. Her handsome boss (Romain Duris) wouldn’t have hired her, except for the fact that her abilities on the typewriter are top notch. Determined to train young Rose to be the winner he wasn’t, boss-man Louis Echard takes Rose’s fast fingers on the road to compete in the sport of speed typing, attempting to gain fame and fortune along the way. At Magic Lantern. (ER) Rated R

PRISONERS

The kidnapping-revenge genre gets a refreshing makeover when a child goes missing, Dad gets mad, and the cops don’t know what to do. It stars Hugh Jackman (the dad) and Jake Gyllenhaal (the detective). This goes places that Taken and Frantic never thought of going. A real nail-biter that’s violent and unpredictable. (ES) Rated R

There’s not much to see here. Mostly it’s just Justin Timberlake sitting at computers for a bit — not even naked or anything — and later he is vaguely menaced by Ben Affleck… with words only, except for some hints of threats of being fed to mostly offscreen crocodiles. Timberlake is a student at Princeton, working on a masters degree in financial shenanigans — he was, we’re meant to understand, the sole guy on Wall Street in 2008 who was actually honest in his work, and so he lost all his dough in the crash. Now, he tries to take down Affleck, who plays an online gambling mogul. (MJ) Rated R

RUSH

The action begins with a crucial race in 1976, before flashing back to the early years of the rivalry between Formula 1 race car drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda on the minor leagues of the European racing circuit. Director Ron Howard and screenwriter Peter Morgan — who collaborated on Frost/Nixon — effectively set up the initial parallel between the two men as children of privilege who rebel against the expectations of their families, before focusing on the clash of styles that differentiated them. (SR) Rated R.

THE WAY, WAY BACK

Fox Searchlight continues to establish itself as, perhaps, the premier indie film distributor. From them we’ve received films like Sideways, Juno and Slumdog Millionaire. Their newest film seems to contain the same charm they’ve become known for. This time around, Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Maya Rudolph and a young actor named Liam James look to deliver said charm with a tale about a forlorn kid who finds a new life with a summer job at a water park. At Magic Lantern (JR) PG-13

WE’RE THE MILLERS

Jason Sudeikis plays a small-time pot dealer who finds himself in major debt to his supplier (Ed Helms). He’s then forced to make a trip to Mexico to pick up some bud, and he believes he’ll keep a lower profile if he crosses the border with his family. Without one, he recruits a nerdy boy, a punk girl and a stripper (Jennifer Aniston — as a stripper!) to pose as his kin travelling in an RV. (JR) Rated R 

Grown-Up Punks How Red Hare has grown, changed and, in some ways, stayed exactly the same BY LEAH SOTTILE

y the time skateboarding, punk rock, guitars and drums took over their lives, the members of the hardcore band Swiz were almost too late. It was 1987 in Washington, D.C., and a whole wave of hardcore punk bands had come and gone: Rites of Spring had split, Minor Threat broke up in 1983, and some devout hardcore scenesters were already trying their hand at the next genre: “post-hardcore.” In that time, after the first punch of punk and before the heyday of alternative rock, Jason Farrell says that he and his Swiz bandmates — who weren’t done yet with

BRIAN MISHOE PHOTO

the aggressive sounds of hardcore — started to feel punk changing, softening and getting more experimental. “We kind of missed that first wave. The people that sort of organized that sound were moving on to something a little more thoughtful, more mellow in some ways. It didn’t have the same type of aggression,” Farrell, who now plays guitar in the band Red Hare, says. “We were about eight years younger than the originators of that sound and we thought that [those people] would be more excited than they were. We instantly pigeonholed ourselves as shortchanged.”

But now — so many years later — it’s clear that Swiz was trying something different, too. They were a hardcore band, but they weren’t hammering home the same sociopolitical message that had come with that first flight of punk bands. They were in their late teens, and they sung about what they knew. Swiz made proclamations about identity and staying true to exactly who they were. On “Tylenol,” a track from their 1990 LP Hell Yes I Cheated, the band yelled “I wouldn’t change who I am! Even if I could!” On Dischord ...continued on next page

Records, a seminal D.C. punk label, Swiz was a youthful, less dystopian foil to their labelmates. “I’ve never been very good at political statements. I was really drawn more toward these sort of darker, more personal stuff,” Farrell says, “More like human things rather than political things.” It’s a sentiment that Farrell carried with him after that band’s demise in 1990, and into his other bands, Bluetip and Retisonic. Last year, 26 years after he and his friends picked up instruments and made their first songs, Farrell and three of his Swiz bandmates formed a new band: Red Hare. But now everything has changed again. They live scattered across the country. They’re dads with careers. They write songs via email and record riffs on their phones. And punk rock is nothing like what it used to be. “I think it’s very easy to say [punk] is not as pure as it was. It’s very easy to think that your era is the era that matters,” he says. “I think I’ve gotten a lot less precious about what is the right era. “It’s this weird thing, and I don’t think I’ve ever considered myself ‘punk rock’ ever,” he continues. Though Farrell says he and his bandmates all experimented with weirder, less punk sounds in their other bands, with age they’re slowly coming back again to the original sound they fell in love with. On Red Hare’s first album, Nites of Midnight, the band captures the same drive and power that

once drove Swiz — but the lyrics now capture the worries, thoughts and passions of a group of 40-something men. “Thankfully the topics have changed, because we’re quite a bit older,” Farrell says. “I’m more worried. I have a kid, I have these bigger, larger pressures. … [The lyrics are] coming from the same place, but it’s a different set of circumstances.” He remembers those early days, when the circumstances behind their brand of punk rock used to be so sweet and pure. He chuckles as he tells about a box his mom recently found in his childhood home. “It’s just literally full of letters from people. Weird letters, like, ‘I bought your 7-inch and I wanted to say hello!’” he says. “I found letters from people in there that I’m currently friends with that we would both be embarrassed about.” But all these years and bands later, he says somehow that youthful, inclusive spirit they once felt as kids is still with them today. “The people that come out [to our shows] are our age — they’re our friends,” he says. “It’s like a weird reunion of people that we’ve known forever and it just feels amazing. … The people that I know are just glowing. Like, ‘Hello you! Yay!’” n leahs@inlander.com Red Hare performs with Coliseum, Heiress and Losing Skin • Fri, Oct. 11, at 9 pm • Carr’s Corner • 230 S. Washington St. • $8 • 21+ • 474-1731

runo Mars better watch out. Thanks to a fan-started petition that so far has received more than 40,000 signatures, the pop star, recently named the halftime entertainment for the 2015 Super Bowl, has some serious competition in the form of Gwar. Gwar dresses up in some of the craziest costumes (think orc-like masks, trap-jaw helmets, 2-foot-long dildos, assless chaps), but on the other hand, they have incredible mastery of their instruments and their lyrics aren’t even entirely satirical. Yet that doesn’t mean they expect you to take them seriously — regardless of how disgusting, bloody and literally fleshy their stage show gets. Lead singer Dave Brockie created the act nearly 30 years ago in Richmond, Va., but it doesn’t matter where the thrash metal group hails from. When you get Brockie on the phone, he insists on being interviewed in character, as his alter ego Oderus (pronounced ODER-us) Urungus. “I could annihilate Bruno Mars with a just a fart at 30 paces away, I’m not worried about that,” Oderus says. “But we would rather play in the game. We could take on the entire NFL and the coaches, and the cheerleaders, with one hand tied behind our backs.” He says it’s satisfying to know that fans would turn to Gwar to be entertained during halftime, but he still doesn’t understand why, especially since his band’s whole purpose is to “destroy humanity.”

“We’ve used it as a lure; music is like a worm for us,” Oderus explains. “We’ve kind of figured out that we enjoy playing rock ‘n’ roll while we’re on this planet. Heavy metal helps us replicate the sound of our childhoods through our music.” Last week, the band kicked off the new tour promoting Gwar’s first album in three years, Battle Maximus. In a way, there were demons to fight like the band had never faced before. On tour in 2011, their guitar player Cory Smoot, aka Flattus Maximus, was found dead on their bus. “I’m not going to lie and say it wasn’t difficult, we miss him every day,” Oderus says. “But there would have been a worldwide outbreak of fury if we didn’t continue.” Perhaps because of this, the band went deeper and darker for this album, recorded in their supposed home of Antarctica. “It’s f---ing heavy as hell,” Oderus assures. “Our new guitar player, Pustulus Maximus, is really kicking it off. He’s kind of an ornery asshole who’s all over the stage with an attitude of savagery that fits in well with us.” Clearly, Mars has every reason to be worried.  lauraj@inlander.com Gwar with Whitechapel, Iron Reagan, A Band Of Orcs • Sun, Oct. 13 at 8 pm • Knitting Factory • 919 W.

R&B HAR MAR SUPERSTAR

hen you hear Har Mar Superstar and then you see Har Mar Superstar, something just doesn’t quite connect. The sound is like what you’d envision was playing in the background of that famous Burt Reynolds photo, when he’s all butt-naked on a bearskin rug. But Har Mar — aka Sean Tillmann — is a chubby, balding white guy obsessed with his own sexual prowess. He’s got the same weird allure as Ron Jeremy. And sure, that strange juxtaposition of sexy music by a not-so-sexy guy has given him a career, but the music is pretty rad too. I dare you to listen to his “Lady, You Shot Me” and try not to dance. Told you. It’s impossible. — LEAH SOTTILE Har Mar Superstar with Rom Leo • Fri, Oct. 11 at 7 pm • The Center • 6425 N. Lidgerwood • $10 • 21+ • thecenterofspokane.com • 433-7328

POP THE HOOT HOOTS

he Hoot Hoots are not a band of owls. Actually, the four-piece is as human as you — their interests, according to their Facebook page, are yoga, Donkey Kong, ice cream and Arrested Development. All of these elements can actually be heard in their music. Their mixed-up power pop is flexible, punchy, sweet — and at times, just like the Bluth family, crazy. With catchy tunes that sound like early Beatles fused with Modest Mouse and the Postal Service, they do their own thing, implementing Nintendo-sounding background synthesizers. Brothers Adam and Chris Prairie started their operation in Illinois, but after moving to Seattle took it to a new level. Their most recent EP Feel the Cosmos, released last November, is imperative listening for you right now. — LAURA JOHNSON The Hoot Hoots • Sat, Oct. 12 at 9 pm • Mootsy’s • 406 W.

Life in Color is billed as the world’s largest paint party. We’re not sure how many other paint parties there are happening around the planet, but it doesn’t really matter. The artistic/ electronic dance music/acrobatics/paint 3D extravaganza came to Spokane last year and was so successful it’s back again at the Spokane Arena this Friday, hoping to excite every person 16 and over enough to show up wearing white and get paint spray-gunned at them. Starting in college campuses in Florida, the event became so popular the show now tours worldwide. Perfect for those looking for something not so black and white. — LAURA JOHNSON Life in Color • Fri, Oct. 11 at 7 pm • $37-$60 • Ages 16+ • Spokane Arena • 720 W.

If “presidential historian” seems like a dull vocation, you obviously missed Doris Kearns Goodwin retelling one of Abraham Lincoln’s outhouse jokes on The Colbert Report last fall. Her book, Team of Rivals, was the basis for Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-winning Lincoln, and she’s also written about Lyndon B. Johnson, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and the Kennedys. Her new book about Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft comes out in less than a month.

In an entertaining approach to showing off the latest renovations at the Bing Crosby Theater, local arts patrons are invited to tour the historic venue during a special audience-participation, murder-mystery performance appropriately dubbed “Murder at the Bing.” The original performance, written by Jim Becker of the local Lion’s Share Theatre, takes the audience on a historically accurate journey through the Bing’s past, and to many areas of the theater most visitors don’t get to see, as they try to solve the murder that takes place at the beginning of the performance. Featuring a cast of local talent and a behind-the-curtain peek into the Bing’s past and present, the one-night show has limited tickets available. — CHEY SCOTT

RELATIONSHIPS

Advice Goddess SOCIAL NOTWORKING

My 40-something younger brother has been “friending” my hot female friends on Facebook, women I have befriended in real life whom he’s never even met! I said nothing at first. Then, one of these women posted a photo of herself, and I commented on it in a flirtatious way. Up pops my brother, commenting on my comment in a way that killed her ability to respond to me and adding a personal message to me, “Hey, bro, call me when you’re up.” I was upset that he’d butted into my conversation with her, and I don’t think AMY ALKON her page is a place for him to leave messages to me. I asked him to remove his comment, and he was upset and insulted. Shouldn’t etiquette standards apply online, too? If I’m having a face-to-face conversation with someone, it’s considered rude to just walk up and butt in. And, isn’t it a little creepy that my brother trolls my Facebook page and “friends” women he’s never met? —Invaded Facebook brings a lot of people closer, like the hot women you’ve gone to the trouble of developing friendships with in real life and your brother, who’s gone to the trouble of paying his electric bill and turning on his computer. Hot women on the Internet — those who don’t take credit cards for their friendship — can be pretty guarded. Luckily, your brother shares your last name, so instead of your hot friends seeing his friend request and thinking “Eek, who’s this perv?” they probably think something like, “Oh, how adorable. Joe Blow has a little brother, Bo Blow.” As unfair as it seems that your brother logged in to Facebook and sat there in his underwear helping himself to a salad bar of your female friends, you seem to have misunderstood something about the nature of Facebook conversations. “Facebook” is not the name of a romantic restaurant where you’ve booked a table for two. You’re having these flirtatious exchanges at a “table” for, oh, 547 of a woman’s closest friends — along with any “friends” she might’ve made through those friends. This might explain why they call it “social networking” and not “social isolation.” No, your brother shouldn’t turn some woman’s Facebook page into the digital version of the write-on/wipe-off board your mom used to have by the kitchen phone. Because he got to this woman through you, this makes you look bad by association. So, you aren’t wrong to want him to change his message-leaving behavior, and you can call dibs if there’s one particular woman you’re putting the moves on. But telling someone what to do, even when a demand is phrased as a request (to remove the comment, in this case), generally doesn’t inspire him to say, “Right, I was a jerk. I’ll change, pronto!” It makes him angry, hurt, and defensive. A more effective approach is telling him you feel bad about something he’s doing, evoking his sympathy. That’s probably your best bet for getting him to back off a bit from your Facebook harem, considering it’s a little late to put your privacy settings on lockdown and way late to take the age-old approach to brotherly conflict resolution: “Maaaaa! Bo’s stealing all my hotties — just like he stole my firetruck 45 years ago!”

BATTLE OF THE DIVULGE

My boyfriend won’t “friend” my friends or relatives on Facebook. He says he doesn’t want to worry about censoring his posts or friends’ comments. Well, I have a handful of friends, and now a brother and a cousin, who’ve told me that he never responded to their friend request, and I worry that they’ll think he is rude or doesn’t like them. —Bothered Your boyfriend probably prefers your brother remember him for the wonderful way he helped your granny and not for how he looks in that photo his friend likes to post — the one where he’s passed out on someone’s bathroom floor with a bra draped across his chest and “Princess” written across his face with a Sharpie. Although privacy is reportedly dead, it’s his right to be one of those holdouts who refuses to be a 24-hour gas station of personal information. The problem comes in his ignoring your friends and family — tossing their friend requests in the Internet landfill with all the personal messages from African warlords with $19 million in diamonds to share with a trustworthy total stranger. Tell your boyfriend you’re afraid feelings are getting hurt, and suggest he message people back with something like, “Thanks, but I mainly use Facebook to stay in touch with a few old friends. Hope to see more of you in real life.” It’s gracious but boundary-maintaining, and if you break up, his lack of connectedness should provide a healthy barrier between him and explosive revelations about your new boyfriend, such as what he had for lunch. n ©2013, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. • Got a problem?

I Saw You

Cheers

Stepping Out Of The Bar You must be the only other social worker in town that likes wine besides me. You looked smart, and well put together in your glasses and salmon colored shirt. I always dreamt that I would have a fun co-worker like you. And now we work together. I was the late redhead with the effed up haircut, wanting you to help me organize my paperwork. If you read this, would you consider going for wine? I’ll be at the goat on Tuesday

Army nurse who helped me after I fell on the sidewalk at the SE corner of 1st and Monroe on September 23rd about 11:20 a.m. You helped me get back on my feet when I couldn’t get up by myself, you helped me stop the bleeding, you called 911 and best of all you stayed with me until the emergency crew from Fire Station 4 arrived. My heartfelt thanks to each of you. Truly you went above and beyond. Thanks also to the emergency crew who patched me up and got me on my way. Thanks to all of you for your help. Ron

Coffee Affections To the person who sent the Cheers several weeks ago to the baristas who make your 12 cream - 12 sugar coffees: Cheers to YOU for openly admitting your strange coffee affections. That takes balls, especially in a world of caffeine-crazed addicts. If I drank coffee, I would definitely as for 12 creams and 12 sugars, too.

Greene Street Bridge Thank you to the driver of the red Ford truck who let me in on the morning of September 24th. I was afraid I’d never get to work on time with all the traffic, but your kind gesture

Thank You! To the kind person who found my Kindle on Alaska Airlines and turned it in. Thanks! I couldn’t thank you in person, so I made a donation to the American Red Cross to pay it forward. May karma bless you.

AT&T Store I saw you at the AT&T store in the Riverfront Mall Saturday night. You helped my friend try to figure out her phone situation. I was holding her daughter and kept trying not to smile too big. You’re quite tall and handsome. Wearing a work sweater vest. You were so kind to us and I’d love to grab coffee sometime if you’re interested. The world needs more kind guys like you! I believe your name started with a C. lostinmymind5@yahoo. com

My heart beats faster hoping each day is closer to the reality of how our love will bloom like a flower, a flower that never wilts. I love you!

Cheers To Rick Rick’s Kar Korner. I came across an article in the Spokane Chronicle from 1982 featuring young Rick as a car salesman. He was 21 years old and 2 years into the business. I admired the love he expressed not only for the business, but the customers as well. It wasn’t just about making a “sale” for him. It was about meeting people, connecting with them, and helping them. I recently got a great opportunity to work with Rick at his car lot and it’s truly been an amazing experience. 31 years later and he is still that same kind-hearted, honest man. He has taught me so much and continues to teach me every day. I’ve got to know him as a boss, a person, and as a friend. He, like many of us, has been through so much throughout the years and even through all the “crap” life has handed him he still manages to maintain a positive outlook. When I read the article it made me smile and brought tears to my eyes. Knowing how hard he has worked to accomplish his goals has completely moved me. So I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you Rick for everything that you do. You have made a very big impact on my life and I couldn’t be happier to be working for such a wonderful person. Sometimes you meet people that change who you are and inspire who you will become...you are one of those people in my life. Keep up the good work boss and stay away from those deadly ninja bees!

Thai Bamboo Family I would like to say a very heartfelt thank you to my amazing co-workers and the owners of Thai Bamboo! And all of our wonderful and loyal customers who can turn my day around in a second! I, like many others, have held various different jobs throughout my 32 years, and I’m grateful to say, that being given the opportunity to work for this company and the amazing and awesome people within it, that I have found my home. My job (server/waitress) is one of the most unpredictable, crazy and stressful jobs out there, but it is by far the most rewarding in my eyes! And I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I could serve anywhere, but here’s a few reasons why Thai Bamboo is my first and only choice: the people I work with are absolutely amazing! All the other servers and bartenders are truly the best, our HR department is spectacular and goes above and beyond! All of the kitchen staff, they rock!! What more can I say? And last but not least, the owners of the company, who have made us a family and care about each and every one of their employees! In this day and age, it’s rare to find people who still care about the individual and thankfully I have found an employer who does. Is it all rainbows and butterflies and nicey nice? Heck no! But I chose to write this because no matter what there is always going to be negative things in life and situations to complain about, but I am thankful and grateful for the good and positive people and things I am blessed with now! So again thank you to my Thai Bamboo family!!!

Monster Truck To the silver fat ass monster truck at the Francis coffee shop. You are terrible. I was waiting in line to participate in a fund raiser. I was parked in line with the other customers and I was close to the curb on my right. Where was I suppose to go?! I know where you can go. What were you doing with your fat ass monster truck? Hauling McDonald’s? Maybe if you buy a big ol’ monster truck you should probably only drive it in places that it will fit.

my still full plate and brings a bill not bothering to comment why a fully grown man eats only two bites of his meal. Am I destined to only eat scrambled eggs in Spokane???

Our Wicked Ways When I first saw you I knew you were wicked awesome and now we are wicked awesome together. I’m glad we make each other so wicked happy, and after this wicked awesome wedding weekend we get to be wicked awesome husband and wife. Here’s to spending the rest of our wicked awesome lives together, I love you so much!

Traffic Control at Jason Aldean concert. It was the worse mess I have ever seen after a concert, roads were blocked going East and South leaving you the option of going North. I do not live north and maneuvering through all these road blocks was more than frustrating. Along with barricades there were humans in their bright vest (I hope not the police department because the guy I spoke to flunked courtesy training) I am sure he knows who he is as he was stopping everyone on Wahington to delay this process even longer. Spokane step up and do a better job! Just another reason not to visit downtown. What a sorry mess Texting To the young, blonde woman driving the white Land Cruiser in Hayden. I have passed you roughly 8 times, all of which your head is burried in your lap. It’s obvious you have something more important on your phone than paying attention to other drivers and pedestrians. The value of other peoples lives is more important than any message that could be on that phone. Hopefully a “Jeers” will give you the message, rather than a $160 ticket, accident, or worse, a life.

OCTOBER 10, 2013 INLANDER 61

Confession of an Almost Bureaucrat Thoughts on the government shutdown and a path not taken BY SCOTT A. LEADINGHAM “To most Americans, ‘bureaucracy’ is a fighting word. Few things are more disliked than bureaucracy, few occupations held in lower esteem than the bureaucrat. Both are subjected to repeated criticism in the press and damned regularly by political soap box orators and ordinary citizens. ‘Inefficiency,’ ‘red tape,’ ‘stupidity,’ ‘secrecy,’ ‘smugness,’ ‘aggressiveness,’ and ‘self-interest’ are only a few of the emotionally charged words used to castigate bureaucrats.” — Richard Stillman, Public Administration: Concepts and Cases

s I type those words, nearly 10 years after having read them in an undergraduate political science textbook, I am at home, prevented from working. Today marks one week since the federal government shutdown (or as Fox News prefers, “slimdown”) began. This is my fifth day of not incurring a paycheck for the job I was hired to do. So far I have been furloughed 13 work days in 2013 due to the current shutdown and the previous budget sequestration that caused automatic, across-the-board cuts to federal agencies. I try to be optimistic — thinking it’ll all be resolved soon and maybe, just maybe, I and my fellow 800,000 “non-essential” furloughed employees can go back to work. If what I hear on the news is correct, Republicans and Democrats, including the president, endorse giving back pay to us once this ends. Hope springs eternal, right? Now, a confession: None of that is true, insofar as I am not a furloughed federal employee. But I could be. In fact, I should be based on my background and education.

62 INLANDER OCTOBER 10, 2013

The above quote from Richard Stillman is from a standard undergraduate textbook for political science and public administration students. It’s one of many college textbooks I keep on my bookshelf. However, the anecdote about being furloughed for 13 days (as of this writing) is very real — just not for me. It applies to a friend from graduate school who works in the “other Washington” for a federal agency. Since the shutdown began, he’s posted on Facebook about his frustrations with the situation. His experience, and the experience of many other fellow classmates, is one I would likely share had I stayed on the public administration/government service track on which I began. It started in high school with an interest (obsession, really) in federal law enforcement. For much of my teenage years, I thought about how I’d eventually work for the FBI or U.S. Marshals. Eventually that morphed into National Park Service ranger. Who doesn’t like a guy in an olive-green uniform? I thought. And as I found by job-shadowing a park ranger, they carry M16 rifles. Uniforms, guns, cool hats, hanging in National Parks? I’m in. Somewhere in college, though, the law enforcement bug died, but the government service idea remained. After all, my dad had worked for and retired from the federal government as a forester. If he could make an honest, middle class living, so could I. In graduate school I learned more about the exciting topics of public finance and budgeting and helped teach undergraduates about public

policy. But where many of my classmates were on obvious paths to work in federal and state government, I shifted toward journalism. Rather than work in government, I reasoned it was more intriguing to study it. I wanted to report on and analyze it from an informed perspective. (Yes, the idea of journalism being relatively more stable than government employment is a sad joke not lost on me.)

BUREAUCRACY

“Weber said bureaucracy was supposed to be stable.” Weber refers to Max Weber (pronounced “VAY-ber”), the German social scientist known widely by students of politics for his descriptions of bureaucracy. I glanced at my bookshelf as soon as I read those words on Facebook from my graduate school friend who had just been furloughed on Day One of the shutdown. The book in my collection contained the essay in which Weber outlines how bureaucratic systems work. Or rather, how they’re supposed to work. At the least, the moment validated having kept so many college textbooks like some hopeless academic hoarder. Deeper, though, it reiterated what I’d long known, something of no surprise to political scientists and government workers alike: Federal employees — bureaucrats, if you will — are incredibly necessary to a stable, functioning, representative democracy such as ours. People can (and certainly do) have reasonable differences of opinion about the necessary and proper role of government. By extension that

means having political debates about the size of government and the necessity of this agency or that program. Plus, there is no doubt that certain processes and ways of doing “bureaucratic” things can and should be improved. Is there “waste” in the federal government? Yes. Is it the fault of every employee? Certainly not. By and large, federal workers are honest, educated, public service-minded individuals. Among the 2.1 million of them, there will be those who don’t pull their weight or do little to benefit the public good. But that’s no reason to throw out the baby with the proverbial bathwater. The federal government is large and complex because this country is large and complex. Serving the interests of 315 million people is no easy task — one not accomplished by simply citing passages of a 226-year-old Constitution. As Weber noted: “However much people may complain about the evils of bureaucracy, it would be sheer illusion to think for a moment that continuous administrative work can be carried out in any field except by means of officials working in offices.” A lot of people who would otherwise be in those offices — or watching the gates of a National Park or whatever other job function — have been out of work for more than a week. I very well could be one of those people. If I were, I’d be honored to join my fellow public servants.  Scott A.
