EDITOR’S NOTE

he other day, I got an irresistible message from a READER. He didn’t call to offer criticism or to say thank you; both are regular occurrences. Instead he said this: “This is going to seem pretty out of left field for you, I suspect, but… I really enjoy talking with people who are different from me. And something tells me you’re different from me, and I was wondering if you wanted to grab lunch or coffee sometime.” That’s it — a simple invitation for conversation from someone who, as far as I can tell, actively seeks out people he thinks might hold beliefs and opinions different from his own. I was speechless. What a novel idea: to see differences as valuable and to see value in understanding them. We’re grabbing coffee later this week. — JACOB H. FRIES, Editor

Missing: One Spine

Not seen since Nov. 8, 2016; please return to the United States Congress BY TED S. McGREGOR JR.

while back, the 5th District of Washington made a tough business decision. It turned out a beloved leader after 30 years of distinguished service. The voters judged he was not fulfilling the American system of separated powers. That race was the first I covered as a reporter in Spokane, and while there were many reasons Tom Foley lost, my takeaway was that he was carrying too much water for President Bill Clinton. Eastern Washington voters decided to put some guardrails up on the Clinton White House. So here we are again, with another beloved local leader failing at her duty to maintain checks and balances on a troubled presidency. I believe it’s time to make another tough business decision and vote her out.

isa Brown and Cathy McMorris Rodgers seem to be campaigning like this is just another election. They banter about health care, education, taxes. And for sure their parties want it that way. Democrats are sticking to traditional issues, and Republicans hope you won’t remember who’s leading their party. But let’s be real: While issues matter, this election is a referendum on Donald Trump. Lisa Brown is the most dynamic, ready-tolead candidate Eastern Washington has produced since Tom Foley. There are many reasons to vote for her, but most urgent is that she will help put the brakes on the runaway Trump train. What has the Republican Congress’ abdicating of its traditional responsibility unleashed? Let’s review: Our president has the emotional maturity of a seventh grader. He alternates between the schoolyard bully, then the victim — whichever suits him. Every action is filtered simply: What’s best for Donald Trump. Great presidents are selfless; he’s self-obsessed. Apparently an expert scientist, he has proclaimed climate change a hoax. Meanwhile, the floodwaters rise. He undermines our alliances with our oldest, dearest friends. These are the planet’s defenders of freedom and democracy; world peace hangs in the balance. His policies are quickly bankrupting us, with tax cuts for the rich that are exploding the deficit and deepening the economic divide that challenges our nation so profoundly. He enjoys playing chicken with our economic security, with antibusiness tariffs and trade wars. He’s stealing children from their parents at the border and putting them in cages. He lies constantly, about things large and small. He flaunts the rules the rest of us follow, like paying taxes and disclosing the sources of his fortune. He’s at war with the press and the First Amendment, despite the fact that he put his hand on a Bible and swore to “preserve, protect and defend” all the amendments to the Constitution. He coddles despots like those in Saudi Arabia and Russia. He defends racists and

accused sex offenders — not surprising, because he has shown himself to be both of those things. He’s dismissive of women, has bragged about assaulting them — even cheating on his wives. And he’s taking a wrecking ball to the institutions that have served us so well for more that 240 years now: the Supreme Court, Congress and its norms and traditions, the Justice Department, the State Department, even the military, where he has undermined missions and mocked our heroes. This is a president who screams out for adult supervision. But among all these transgressions, one rises above all. Donald Trump, every day, works to divide us. Our union is precious and tenuous — like a marriage. It’s the source of our strength, our happiness and our unprecedented national prosperity. And every day, he beats the living hell out of it, fanning the flames of hatred. It was another president who warned us about exactly this — the president who knew firsthand the price we paid for our union. George Washington’s parting advice, found in his Farewell Address, was pretty simple: Don’t get brainwashed by some slick, self-serving demagogue. This is the stuff of infamy — the most shameful, un-American behavior of any president. For 14 years of service, Cathy McMorris Rodgers deserves everyone’s respect. But she has lost her way. As a party leader, she’s one of the president’s key enablers. She is complicit.

o here we are, in the great state of Washington, in the district where, in 1994, we sent an unmistakable message to the nation: The checks and balances of our system must be enforced. Shut out the noise, take a deep breath and look around: We have way, way more that unites us as Americans. So many things we do together, like serve in the military, start and build companies, improve our cities and towns, raise and educate great kids. Key word: together. Here in Eastern Washington, we’re working together to make this place even more special. We can’t let this cynicism divide us. We must reject the nastiness, the misogyny, the racism and the utter lack of basic human — and Christian — morality. This is not the usual choice between right and left. This is an existential moment. We all have to vote like our nation depends on us. n The Inlander does not do formal candidate endorsements. Ted S.

pokane has produced more than its fair share of famous business leaders, artists, professionals and politicians. Two — one a Democrat and the other a Republican — earned national acclaim for the critical roles they played in maintaining the post-World War II institutions that laid the foundation for the “American Century.” Tom Foley did that in Congress and as speaker of the House from 1965-95, while my late grandfather, Eric Allen Johnston, did the same through a variety of posts.

emerging. I see his passion for America, but also his deep concerns for our country. I unearthed a long-forgotten keynote address he gave in January of 1945 to the Writers’ War Board — an organization that coordinated some 4,000 American writers to support the war effort. In this speech, I hear my grandfather speaking to me, and to our times. In addition to running three companies in Spokane, heading the U.S. Chamber of Commerce during the war and advocating for the film industry as president of the Motion Picture Association of America, Johnston served three U.S. Presidents. President Roosevelt sent him to both Latin America and the Soviet Union as his economic envoy. President Truman named him to the

public board overseeing the Marshall Plan, and then another board to stabilize the U.S. economy. President Eisenhower made Johnston the first special envoy to the Middle East. A few months before German troops surrendered, at the tail end of a war that killed some 60 million people, my grandfather thought that intolerance and discrimination posed the greatest threat to America’s future. “Of all the social problems that face our country in this era of crisis,” he told those gathered in New York that night, “that of national unity seems to me the most challenging. Most other problems will not be solved if the American people are divided into mutually hostile and suspicious groups…” Sound familiar? With a president who, every day, works to divide us as Americans, we seem to be living out my grandfather’s worst nightmare. “Race hatred and group intolerance simply do not jibe with any of the formulae of freedom so dear to the American heart,” he said. “If the day ever comes in this country when tolerance gives way to internal enmities and persecutions and discriminations, it will be the end of American civilization.” This man, who sold newspapers on a Spokane street corner as a young boy to help his mother pay the bills, saw strength and beauty in America’s diversity. “It’s never the purest metal that is the toughest,” he said. “We in America are an alloy of all the peoples in the world.” Eric Johnston, I am discovering, was both an optimist and a realist. I am compelled to share his message, spoken at another dark time with nothing but uncertainty ahead. Getting to know my grandfather better has also led me to abandon my Republican heritage. Numerous issues — the rising costs of health care and educaONLINE tion, growing income Read Eric Johnston’s 1945 disparity, increasing speech at Inlander.com deficits, the assault on the rule of law and willful ignorance about climate change — have pushed me to act. I am now one of an army of volunteers for Lisa Brown, because she alone seeks to represent all the citizens of Eastern Washington, no matter what their race, their religion, their economic class or their personal beliefs. She will fight every single day to preserve the American civilization our forefathers bequeathed to us. I know my Republican grandfather would approve. n Victoria Butler, a Lewis and Clark High School grad, has been a foreign correspondent for Time and NBC.

COMMENT | FROM READERS

SEEING CLEARLY ON NOV. 6 n 2010 the Affordable Care Act was passed. People with diabetes, folks

previously priced out of the health insurance market by their pre-existing conditions, were able to afford insurance. As an ophthalmologist I was able to save or restore the sight of many of these newly insured people before it was too late, people who were then able to continue to work, to drive, to read, to see their wives and children. Over the next eight years I watched in dismay as our U.S. Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers voted time and time again to repeal the Affordable Care Act, pre-existing conditions and all. She did so, it seemed, with a grim determination to turn back the clock. She took every opportunity to peck away at the law, weaken it, make it worse and ultimately unworkable. LETTERS Now she says, “I’m offended!” at Send comments to the mere suggestion she could ever editor@inlander.com. vote the way she did, claiming she has always defended pre-existing conditions. Every time I see her I am reminded of the faces of the people whose sight I was able to save thanks to the law she has worked so hard to dismember and destroy. This is the reason I enthusiastically recommend you vote for Lisa Brown, a woman with compassion that extends beyond the protection of her immediate family, a woman who understands that voting matters.

SPOKANE VALLEY MATTERS, TOO t was surprising to have the Spokesman-Review say that candidates for

Washington’s 4th Legislative District are not worthy of endorsement. The newspaper rightly pointed out incumbent Republican Matt Shea is a wingnut, doing little for his constituents as he champions a 51st state. To say opponent Democrat Ted Cummings is too liberal and unworthy of a vote is an indictment of the newspaper’s selfishness and courage to stand up for the community. Cummings believes in affordable health care, education, a clean environment, sensible gun control, unions and a living wage. Not exactly radical. Our other representative, Republican Bob McCaslin, got a tepid endorsement, saying when he wasn’t being the wingnut’s wingman, he seemed benign. Again, his opponent was deemed too liberal. Democrat Mary May supports the same issues as Ted Cummings, has experience in government and the endorsement of local teachers, even though her opponent was a teacher. That should tell Spokane Valley voters something. The newspaper should encourage voting rather than insinuate we don’t deserve representation. It would have been better to ignore us than insult us. Show the newspaper we can think for ourselves and vote for Ted Cummings and Mary May.

What If Doctors Worked Like Netflix? With patients paying a monthly fee, a new Spokane clinic hopes to shine light on direct health care model BY SAMANTHA WOHLFEIL

o you know how much your last doctor’s visit cost? What if you could leave the insurance middleman out of the picture and pay for your primary care provider the same way you pay for Netflix or a gym membership? It’s possible, and it’s already here, says Matt Dinsmore, a nurse practitioner who is working with Dr. Barry Bacon to open a new family clinic in Spokane called Direct Primary Care. Named for the payment model they’ll be using, the clinic won’t take insurance and instead will charge patients a monthly fee based on their age. In return, patients get primary care and more personalized access to their doctor, with same-day appointments and other services like some basic labs or prescriptions available at a lower price or at cost, Dinsmore says.

While looking into opening his own practice, Dinsmore settled on the funding model because it seemed like the most feasible method that’s still accessible to average patients. “It’s very difficult to be profitable in a family clinic. As I was researching it, I came across direct primary care, and fee-for-service models,” Dinsmore says. “The one that spoke truest to me was direct primary care, because it seems like Joe Schmoe can get this care, and it was the highest care that I can provide as a nurse practitioner.” The setup is simple: Patients pay a monthly rate, usually between about $30 and $200 depending on their age and the clinic. In exchange, they get to see ...continued on next page

Matt Dinsmore says the direct primary care model will cut down on administrative costs.

“WHAT IF DOCTORS WORKED LIKE NETFLIX?,” CONTINUED... their primary care provider as needed without worrying about copays or insurance. It’s a model that’s ebbed and flowed in popularity in Washington state for about 20 years, says Bob Perna, director of the practice resource center at the Washington State Medical Association, which helps physicians explore the business side of their practice and figure out how to stay profitable. While the numbers didn’t change dramatically from 2015 to 2016, there was a 31 percent increase in the number of patients participating in a direct physician care model in Washington from fiscal year 2016 to 2017, according to the most recent direct practices report from the state Insurance Commissioner. With 14,790 patients participating statewide last year, that’s still only about 0.22 percent of the state population participating in that model, according to the report. Two or three other clinics in Spokane already offer direct primary care, and a statewide list can be found on the Office of the Insurance Commissioner’s website, insurance. wa.gov. The model may not look as appealing to young healthy people, but it can be very beneficial for those with chronic conditions, says Philip Eskew, a family medicine physician and attorney who founded DPC Frontier (dpcfrontier.com), a website geared at providing the most up-to-date information on the direct funding model. Having the ability to call your doctor and know they’ll be available is one of the main benefits, he says. “If you have diabetes, or lupus, or whathave-you, having your physician who knows everything about you, it’s much easier than trying to call some random phone number and getting assigned somebody who doesn’t know anything about your history and they’re trying to make a snap judgment about it,” Eskew says. “It’s those efficiencies over time that make all the difference.”

one of the earliest was MD Squared in Bellevue, where patients paid more than $1,079 a month to have a 50-to-1 patient-doctor ratio in 2017, according to the most recent Insurance Commissioner report and MD Squared’s website. “I think we’ve seen that model as the beginning,” Perna says. “But then over time we’ve seen many physicians who didn’t like working in larger practice settings, who are interested in having more autonomy and individual decisionmaking in what they think is right for their patients, they’re exploring this model.” Because with many direct care systems there’s no billing or haggling with insurance companies, providers cut way back on administrative

“We’ve seen many physicians who didn’t like working in larger practice settings, who are interested in having more autonomy...”

nitially, direct-care models started with wealthier patients who were able to pay for more direct access to their doctor, with “concierge care” models, where their doctor is more on-call and sees far fewer patients. For example,

costs, with virtually no office staff. Patients, in turn, usually get better access to their doctors, who carry smaller caseloads of patients. Indeed, the goal for Dinsmore was to save on costs and still be affordable for more of the average patient, someone who may pair direct care with a high-deductible “catastrophic care” insurance plan that covers large unforeseen medical expenses but not as many of the primary and preventative services provided at his clinic. “Basically the problem is increasing premiums and higher deductibles,” Dinsmore says. “A lot of people are feeling the pinch.” At Direct Primary Care, the monthly fee will include all standard primary care, including preventative care, chronic disease management, and most acute-care conditions, Dinsmore says. The new clinic is set to start seeing patients in early November at Holy Family’s campus at 212 E. Central Ave. Prices to start are planned to range from $29 to $109 per month depending on age from infant to 64, with a $100 initiation fee per patient and bundled packages available. For now, the clinic won’t see patients 65 and older, as Dinsmore and Bacon want to continue being credentialed with Medicare, Dinsmore says.

With the bundles, couples can pay $149 a month, which is cheaper for patients over 40, but wouldn’t be for a couple of 30-year-olds, for example, who’d be charged $49 a month individually. A family plan is $199 a month. Critics argue that for many patients, paying both a monthly fee and for an insurance plan can leave people being overcharged for services they’d already receive with just insurance. A representative for America’s Health Insurance Plans, a national association working for insurers, told the Chicago Tribune earlier this year that the practice is essentially double billing patients, and if some people opt not to get traditional insurance and use only direct primary care until they get sick, it can mess with the healthy-tosick ratio required to keep risk pools working. Still, Dinsmore says their model will work better for patients. Rather than having a doctor see 800 patients or more, as many primary care practices do, Dinsmore and Bacon are looking at closer to 200 or so, which means appointments can last longer, and patients get the time they need, Dinsmore says. Accessibility by phone and text can help strengthen the doctor-patient relationship, and save time on both ends if patients aren’t sure whether to come in, or just need something answered quickly, he says. “A lot of phone conversations can’t be done in order to bill, in the insurance world,” Dinsmore says. “In the direct primary care world, we’re not worried about that.” Other services, like reasonable in-clinic testing for strep throat or bladder infections may be covered as well, or simply charged at the cost of supplies, he says. Other labs could still be ordered through the clinic and charged at cost, he says, and many common prescriptions may be dispensed at wholesale costs. (More information on what’s covered can be found at mydpcclinic.com.)

hen direct primary care was first starting as a model, many patients signing up likely didn’t have insurance, says Eskew, who’s written academic articles on the model and defends it against criticisms. “But more and more, patients with insurance, patients even with Medicare and Medicaid, want to sign up for it because they see the quality,” Eskew says. “Anybody who cares enough to ask the important question, ‘How much does it cost?’ is going to be drawn toward a DPC practice. We focus on answering that question.” In fact, he says direct care models essentially force transparency on other portions of the health care system, as they help patients navigate services even outside their clinics. He can tell a patient how much it’ll cost to go to Hospital A versus Hospital B, and how much more or less that would be if they use their insurance. But one major criticism of a model that moves toward doctors seeing fewer patients is that there’s already a shortage of primarycare physicians, and the model could make that issue worse. In an opinion article for Family Practice Management, a publication by the American Academy of Family Physicians, which supports direct primary care as an option, Eskew wrote that while a traditional physician panel size is about 2,300 patients on average, the average direct care physician is seeing 400 to 1,200. “I will admit that in the short term DPC may exacerbate the primary care physician shortage by increasing patient utilization of primary care services,” Eskew wrote in the 2016 article. “However, this effective use of primary care decreases the burdens placed on the rest of the health care system and highlights the real problem: a physician maldistribution problem, with an overabundance of specialists.” Eskew says he thinks many patients are referred to specialists needlessly for things their primary doctor could help diagnose or treat. Part of what got him interested in direct primary care as a model in the first place was seeing the pressures placed on primary care physicians who do bill insurance. Many of them have maybe 10 minutes or so to see a patient due to their large caseload, he says, and a good chunk of each visit is spent just filling out forms and checking boxes required by insurance companies. “I don’t think it’s the right way to treat patients,” Eskew says. n

Sweet or Sour? Sizing up the Lime bike experiment

here’s only a little time left to take a Lime bike or scooter for a spin, as the city PILOT PROGRAM ends Nov. 16 (though a separate pilot with Gonzaga is scheduled to last longer). So far, the scooters have proven massively popular, with nearly 86,000 rides taken by the end of Oct. 28. The electric-assist bikes have been second most popular, with more than 17,000 rides, and lastly the regular bikes have had more than 8,000 rides. The city will continue to solicit feedback by survey through the last day of the program, after which a stakeholder group of a variety of city departments and local agencies involved in public safety and transportation will look at whether the program should be allowed in city limits and, if so, under what conditions. The group has heard concerns that scooter-pedestrian interactions on sidewalks can be scary, and there are questions about where scooters and bikes should be allowed and what should be done about helmet enforcement, says Brandon Blankenagel, a senior engineer

with the city working on the program. While the group will look at whether city rules should be changed or added, it’s also worth noting the large majority of responses to the program have been positive. “Everybody’s having fun,” Blankenagel says. “It’s being used very widely.” And for those wondering what happens if you’re riding while your credits run out, Lime will simply use the original method you paid with to charge the remaining amount when you’re done, he says.

OTTERCARE

In the final week before the election, advocates of Medicaid expansion got a major last-minute endorsement: outgoing Idaho Gov. BUTCH OTTER. “Proposition 2 is an Idaho-based solution,” Otter says in a recent Idahoans for Healthcare ad. “Vote yes for Proposition 2, it’s the right thing for Idaho.” His wife, Lori Otter, chimes in, too: “Proposition 2 will help our rural hospitals, boost our economy, and create jobs.”

Gov. Butch Otter is speaking out in favor of Idaho’s Proposition 2. In one sense, it’s not a total surprise: An Idaho work group convened by Otter twice unanimously recommended Idaho expand Medicaid, particularly under an outcome-based “managed care” model instead of the traditional fee-for-service model. On several occasions, Otter’s administration proposed modified versions of a Medicaid expansion, such as a proposal that only expanded Medicaid to patients with certain costly conditions. But without support from the Republican-controlled state Legislature,

Otter was never an outright champion of Medicaid expansion. But now, he joins a number of outgoing legislators, including North Idaho’s Luke Malek and Shawn Keough, in explicitly endorsing Proposition 2. “Those of us who don’t have anything to lose at this point of time are saying, ‘let’s get it going,’” Malek says. “It’s the best thing for the state at this point.” But the Idaho Freedom Foundation, a long-time right-wing critic of Otter, objected to the idea that expanding Medic-

aid under Obamacare could possibly be an “Idaho-grown solution.” “Shame on Butch Otter for making one of his final official acts of office to pimp Obamacare to Idaho voters,” Idaho Freedom Foundation President Wayne Hoffman says in a statement. And even on the left, Otter’s last-minute conversion to the cause of Medicaid expansion isn’t necessarily being greeted with hosannas. Marc Johnson, former chief of staff for Idaho Gov. Cecil Andrus, suggested it was cynical, intended to provide cover for gubernatorial candidate Brad Little, who declined to take a position on the expansion. “Lots of Republicans are going to vote ‘yes,’” Johnson said on Twitter. “He wants to be on the winning side.” But even that theory is remarkable: Is Medicaid expansion so popular in a deep-red state that bandwagon-jumping politicians are leaping on board?

Dirty Tricks, Clean Getaways The culprits behind the deceptive attack ads in Washington state might get away with it BY DANIEL WALTERS

ashington state Democrats know the name Glen Morgan well. After all, he’s the Thurston County conservative activist who took the state’s messy campaign-finance regulations and turned them into a weapon. He’s the one who fired off a barrage of complaints to the state’s Public Disclosure Commission, identifying scores of alleged campaign violations — some petty, some serious — costing local Democratic organizations across the state tens of thousands of dollars in fines. Meanwhile, a lot of things immediately seemed suspicious about the mailers sent out last month telling voters “Don’t be fooled by fake progressive Jessa Lewis (‘D’ Spokane)” and urging them to write in “real progressive Joe Pakootas” for the 6th Legislative District. To start with, Joe Pakootas, who ran against Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers two years ago, wasn’t running a write-in campaign. The mailer quotes progressive activist group Fuse Washington as urging voters to support Pakootas — failing to mention it’s from Fuse’s 2016 voter guide, and for a completely different race. In fact, this year, Fuse does endorse Lewis, calling her a “clear choice” and “a fierce advocate for affordable health care.” But maybe the biggest tell came from the small print at bottom of the mailer. The guy responsible for the ad, representing a political action committee calling itself the “Conscience of the Progressive?” Glen Morgan. Other similar mailers went out in tight races throughout the state, with conservative Morgan donning the guise of a liberal to argue that progressives shouldn’t vote for Erin Frasier in the 19th Legislative District, or Connie FitzPatrick in the 26th, or Tye Menser for Thurston County commissioner — because none of them were progressive enough. The outrage was loud and swift. It even made the Rachel Maddow Show, called out as a sleazy ploy to divide the Democratic vote. By Wednesday of last week, 31 complaints about the mailers had been sent to the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC), including from Fuse Washington. “This is a new scam that we have never seen before,” Fuse Washington spokesman Collin Jergens says. “Hopefully, the PDC will come down hard on Glen Morgan to make sure that nobody ever tries to pull a dirty trick like this again.” But it’s quite possible Morgan will get away with it: Because while Washington state law is strict in certain ac-

Don’t be fooled by fake progressive Glen Morgan, a conservative activist from Thurston County who sent out mailers like these to liberal voter across the state. counting and reporting requirements, it’s relatively loose on placing restrictions on flat-out deceptive or dishonest statements. Technically, Washington state has laws against certain false statements in political advertising, including false claims about some endorsements. But both the PDC and the state Attorney General’s Office say that since those laws were updated in 2009, there hasn’t been a single person prosecuted or fined under them. “Everybody is worried about Russia,” says state Rep. Marcus Riccelli, a Democrat from Spokane’s nearby 3rd District. “I’m worried about manipulation at the homefront here.”

he’s just helping inform progressives that they have one. But to believe that, you’d have to believe him when he explains why one of his PACs is called “the Conscience of the Progressives.” “I don’t think that’s deceptive,” Morgan says. “My name is all over that. I’m not saying I am a progressive.” He’s just saying he’s serving as a conscience for progressives, he insists. “I’m not the conscience of the conservatives,” Morgan says. “I’m sure as heck not the conscience of the Republicans.”

UNTROUBLED “CONSCIENCE”

This year, there have been plenty of deceptive political ads in the Inland Northwest: Sometimes the ads cherrypick a few moments over a long career to bolster a wildly false claim, like Idaho gubernatorial candidate Brad Little’s primary ad calling Rep. Raúl Labrador — one of Congress’ foremost immigration hawks — a “liberal” on immigration. Other times they get essential parts of an ugly premise wrong: One ad from U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers sought to accuse her opponent, Lisa Brown, of voting for legislation that would have put a dangerous sex offender, Donnie Lee Fisher, out on the streets. But an Inlander dive into the legislative record showed that high-risk sex offenders wouldn’t have been released with any of the versions of the bills Brown voted for. (McMorris Rodgers acknowledged earlier this year that she regretted the tone of the ads, at least.) The Inlander asks Morgan if he has any pangs of unease or queasiness about his latest tactics. Does his own conscience prick him? Not so much. “I don’t feel any guilt over it,” Morgan says. “Would I do it again? Probably not.” Instead, in our conversation last week, he lobbed several new inflammatory accusations against Jessa Lewis that he didn’t bother to put in his mailer. Morgan won’t even agree that his ads were intending to be deceptive. He sticks to his story: He says he was inspired by his progressive friends who were dissatisfied with the options. They wanted a choice, he argues, and

But to buy that, you have to also believe Morgan wasn’t trying to trick people into thinking he was a progressive when he named one of his other PACs, “Real Progressives in Thurston County,” and when he chose the email address executivedirector@waprogressivevotersforchange.com. You’d have to believe Morgan read the Inlander’s story about how Lewis’ personal experiences with a sexual assault, an unplanned pregnancy, poverty and homelessness converted her from a mainstream conservative to a

“progressive Democrat,” and decided that the takeaway was that she’d once voted for George W. Bush and Dino Rossi. Either way, some people were fooled, at least initially. Fuse Washington received angry messages from members who thought Fuse had sent out the mailer. “Do not EVER mail me another lying flyer again,” one emailer complained to Fuse.

RIGHT TO LIE

In its complaint to the PDC, Fuse Washington leans heavily on one passage of Washington state law in particular, one prohibiting “a false claim stating or implying the support or endorsement of any person or organization when in fact the candidate does not have such support or endorsement.” But Morgan makes two Clinton-esque arguments in response: First, the endorsement wasn’t technically false because Fuse had endorsed Pakootas, albeit for a different race in a different election year. And second, Pakootas isn’t technically a candidate this year, so the passage doesn’t apply. There’s a larger challenge, however: The current version of the state law barring certain kinds of false statements in campaign ads has never been tested. Earlier versions of the law, however, were struck down twice by the state Supreme Court. The law had been used to punish deceptive advertising about a physician-assisted suicide initiative, which featured exaggerated claims like “your eye doctor could kill you.” But in a 1998 ruling, the state Supreme Court concluded that was unconstitutional. The law was revised. But after the PDC fined a candidate for falsely claiming that a state senator had “voted to close a facility for the developmentally challenged,” the court again concluded that the state’s law punishing false advertising was unconstitutional.

“It’s a brilliant trap,” Lewis says. “If I try to say, ‘No, look at how progressive I am,’ then I give them a ton of fodder to say ‘she’s out of touch.’” “The notion that the government, rather than the people, may be the final arbiter of truth in political debate is fundamentally at odds with the First Amendment,” Justice James Johnson wrote in his 2007 opinion. A dissenting justice, however, worried it represented “an invitation to lie with impunity.” So the law was revised again. Washington state still has a provision against ads with “false statement of material fact about a candidate for public office,” but the bar has been set extremely high — the lie has to be ugly enough to be defamatory and it has to be made intentionally or with a reckless disregard for the truth. There’s no guarantee the provision against false endorsements would survive a court challenge: The U.S. Supreme Court has also generally protected the constitutional right of politicians or political activists to lie — including, even, false claims of military service. In many ways, it’s left up to the media outlets, like this one, to fact-check deceptive ads. But sometimes the fact-checks themselves can become fodder for deceptive ads. A McMorris Rodgers’ TV ad this year, titled “Truth,” panned over an Inlander fact-checking article that the campaign had digitally altered to remove sentences critical of a previous McMorris Rodgers’ ad. Not only that, but by spending a lot of time fact-checking deceptive statements, journalists can get tangled up in the very debate that a dishonest politician or activist wants to advance. Morgan admits to the Inlander that he may have been wrong about Lewis not being a progressive. But Lewis argues that this admission, too, is calculated. ...continued on next page

“That’s the thing: It’s a brilliant trap,” Lewis says. “If I try to say, ‘No, look at how progressive I am,’ then I give them a ton of fodder to say ‘she’s out of touch.’” Even after the election, the damage done by dishonest advertising can remain. Matthew Howes, the small business owner of a local pizza joint, was running for Spokane City Council last year when he was hit with a negative attack ad. But the ad didn’t go after his politics. It went after his business, claiming his pizza joint had been dinged with 24 health-code violations since 2005. The ad was roundly LETTERS condemned — Send comments to not only were editor@inlander.com. many of the code violations for minor issues, but a number of them were from before Howes owned the restaurant. Still, Howes lost the election. But the consequences weren’t just political. Howes says he saw the business at his pizza joint take a hit. And today, Howe says, the impact, whether from the ad or simply from his run for office, has continued to linger. “It’s been a tough year,” Howes says. “The economy is way up, and I’m still feeling the effects.” It was crazy, he says. The ad had come from “Spokane For Honest Government,” a PAC

funded primarily by the local fire department union. “What did they really have to gain by bashing a local little restaurant?” Howe says. “It’s sad that, for a $40,000 a year job, they’re willing to wreck a man’s reputation that they built for nine years, 10 years.” Spokane For Honest Government was made to pay a $7,000 fine before the election: But that was for other public disclosure violations made two years earlier. No complaints about the pizza ad were filed. Indeed, the wheels of the PDC spin slowly. That’s the case with the Morgan mailers, too. “Even if the PDC comes down hard on Glen Morgan and gives him a big fine, it’s going to be little consolation if his tactics have helped elect [Jessa Lewis’ opponent] Jeff Holy and others around the state,” says Jergens, the Fuse spokesman. Last week, Fuse sent a letter to the PDC, urging them to refer the case immediately to the state Attorney General’s Office. A year earlier, the Attorney General’s Office would have been able to swoop in and take control of the case themselves, but that power was taken away this year by the Legislature. The change was part of a suite of reforms this year aimed at addressing the huge backlog caused by a flood of PDC complaints. The guy who’d filed many of those citizen complaints clogging up the system? Glen Morgan. n

Look into the facts behind I-1631 Initiative 1631’s new $2.3 billion energy tax would increase every year with no cap

$2.3 Billion Energy Tax, Increases Every Year

Unelected Board, No Accountability

I-1631´s new energy tax would cost Washington families and consumers more than $2.3 billion in the first five years alone. And I-1631´s escalating taxes would automatically increase every year – with no cap.

There would be no meaningful oversight of the unelected board of political appointees in charge of spending the billions in revenues collected under I-1631. There is no specific spending plan and no requirement to spend funds specifically on reducing greenhouse gases.

Source: Fiscal Impact Summary of I-1631, Washington State Office of Fiscal Management, Rev. 8/24/2018

Consumers Pay Higher Gas Prices Washington already has the third highest gasoline prices in the nation, and I-1631 would drive these prices even higher. An independent study shows that I-1631 would increase gasoline prices by 13 cents per gallon in the first year, with automatic increases every year, indefinitely. These increases would quadruple to 59 cents more per gallon within 15 years.

Hurts Families and Small Businesses Families and small businesses would face higher costs for gasoline, heating fuel, natural gas, electricity and other goods and services. I-1631 would cost the average Washington household $440 more per year in 2020, increasing every year indefinitely, reaching $990 by 2035. This would especially hurt those who can least afford it.

Miller Cane is traveling the coast of Washington state with 8-year-old Carleen. Miller’s been asked to keep Carleen safe by her mother, Lizzie, who is stuck in jail after shooting her estranged husband, Connor Callahan. Long out of the picture, Connor recently learned that Carleen will inherit the massive Callahan family fortune that Connor believes is rightfully his. Miller, meanwhile, senses trouble. He had been making his living conning the survivors of mass shootings and, as a result, he has his share of enemies, including a man named Heffner, whose son was killed in a previous shooting that Miller worked.

CHAPTER 2, PART 3

hey drove to Port Townsend in Fourth of July traffic and checked in to their hotel — a smelly, crumbling Victorian a block from Sirens, the only real bar in town. French doors in their room opened to a deck where you could watch ferries come and go and see Mount Baker and a line of Cascades all the way down to Rainier if there wasn’t any smoke, which there was, not that you could see it — you only knew it was there because you couldn’t see the mountains. The deck was a perfect place to have a beer and a cigarette if you still smoked cigarettes, which Miller did not, though he reserved the right to take them up again if he lived long enough. They got a pizza at Waterfront and took it to Fort Worden. Everyone in town was there, the parade grounds across from the old officers’ houses jammed with cars and a couple of hot air balloons going up and

down. They ate their pizza on the commons, far from the stage, but they could hear the awful folk music. Carleen watched the kids running around them. “Go on,” Miller said. “I’ll stay here.” He kept an eye on her as she ran with a group of girls toward the school house. No way could Connor know where they were, though Miller kept mistaking people for the idiot. Up the road past the hostel was Artillery Hill, ringed by old batteries and bunkers facing the Strait of Juan de Fuca — to defend Seattle and the Puget Sound from a naval attack that never came. Now you could crawl around the bunker system, and if you were in high school, have sex and smoke weed and ignore your future, all with a stunning view. When he was a kid, Miller’s dad told him he could ride one of the deer that were everywhere here, if he could catch one, but when it seemed like he might — that’s how tame they were — his mom told him his dad was just being cute. Miller followed Carleen and her friends toward Alexander’s Castle. The girls ran around a big madrone tree, then up the lawn, stopping in front of the cottages. A man called to one of them, and Carleen looked around until she spotted Miller, then waved to the girls and ran toward him. “There’s a pie eating contest,” she said, “and face painting.” “Let’s do it all,” Miller said. As they walked back to the commons, he couldn’t shake the feeling that they were being watched, followed. There were a couple thousand people here. Of course eyes would land on them. But he kept looking back, for Connor, for Heffner — for a shooter, which was why he had to stop doing what he’d been doing these last three years, making him imagine shooters everywhere he went. While Carleen got her face painted, a man onstage started a Skip James song, “I’m so Glad.” The guitar part was hard and fast, and the dude was hitting it note for note as he sang, the song picking up speed through

its repetitive verses — “I’m so glad, I’m glad, I’m glad,” the guy almost too good, too much like Skip James — “I don’t know what to do, don’t know what to do, I don’t know… what… to do.” This was the great version from 1931, almost exactly, except clean, none of the noise from the brilliant old recording. Carleen was getting a unicorn painted on her cheek. It was after eight o’clock, but this far north, the light would linger past 10. Miller wanted to get close to the stage, to see how this guy was doing what he was doing. “How much longer is this going to be?” he asked the teenager painting Carleen’s face. “I want another unicorn,” Carleen said, “if we’re allowed to have two.” “Sure,” the teenager said. “Maybe 10 minutes?” “I want to watch this musician a minute,” Miller said to Carleen. “Don’t move from here, okay?” He worked his way toward the stage. He’d never heard anyone play like this. Except Skip James. But it didn’t feel like imitation. The guy was putting everything he had into it, and he was still picking up speed, still nailing the high, fast riffs. Miller got closer, wove through the crowd. “I’m tired of weeping,” the dude sang, “tired of moaning, tired of groaning for you.” And still he sped it up. From a distance the guy even looked like James. Up close he looked exactly like James, slim and strong featured, a broad forehead over piercing green, almost translucent eyes. No one else had those eyes. But Skip James had been dead 50 years. Miller looked back, couldn’t see the face painting booth. Maybe Skip James had a son, and this was him, or a grandson. He wanted to stay and watch, but he couldn’t see Carleen. He made his way through the crowd, not quite running, and when he could see the booth, another kid was in the seat, no sign of Carleen. He started running. What a fool he was — to leave her ...continued on next page

 Chapter 2, Part 3 continued... there when his only job was to keep her safe. She was nowhere. And then she was 10 feet away with the girls she’d met earlier. Jesus, he’d never let her out of his sight again. Skip James started another Skip James song — “Hard Time Killing Floor Blues.” Carleen watched him approach. “The pie eating contest is in 10 minutes,” she said. “Okay,” Miller said. “But let’s watch this guy play for another minute.” “We have to register,” Carleen said. “We might be too late.” They stood in line in the pie tent. A contest was going on, people paying to throw pies at local politicians and other prominent community members. Carleen requested a fork when she registered for her event, and the woman told her she’d have to keep her hands behind her back during the pie eating contest. Carleen said, “I don’t want to do it like that.” “But those are the rules,” the woman said. Carleen shook her head. “We can also just get a piece of pie,” Miller said. “Sure can,” the woman said, pointing. “Right over there.” “I want to do the contest,” Carleen said. Miller paid the woman and Carleen got a bib with a number on it. Skip James went into “Devil Got My Woman.” Carleen was led to a long row of tables and given a seat. There were only a dozen or so competitors. “I’d rather be the devil,” Skip James sang. Announcements were made, then the contest started, with all the competitors sticking their faces into the pies before them. Except for Carleen, who put her face down and nibbled at the crust, wrinkled her nose, and sat back up watching her peers smear their faces with filling. “Go ahead, honey,” an old lady said to her. Carleen ignored her. She smiled, though, and watched the other kids. A 12-year-old boy won. “The crust wasn’t any good,” she said to Miller, once it was over. “Let’s go buy a couple pieces in the tent,” Miller said. They got slices of huckleberry, blackberry, and gooseberry, then walked toward the water. Skip James was done and another nightmarish folk ensemble was playing. “This crust is pretty good,” Miller said, and Carleen said, “Not as good as yours.” “Or yours,” Miller said. They sat on the lawn to wait for the fireworks. Their first day together had been a good one. Then he saw Connor through the crowd in a blue polo shirt, headed toward them. Jesus Christ — the man wouldn’t do anything here, would he? Miller looked for a way out. He didn’t want to scare Carleen, didn’t even know if she’d want her father to be back and looking for her. Maybe she’d be happy to see him. Miller shifted around to block Connor’s view of Carleen. His heart was going. Would the idiot have a gun? But when he looked back, the man was gone. Then he appeared again, heading away from them. But the blue of his shirt seemed more purple. Or was that a trick of the light? Maybe the man wasn’t Connor at all. Maybe he was just some dude. And the blues player wasn’t Skip James. He just looked and sounded exactly like Skip James. “I love fireworks,” Carleen said. “Mom says they represent bombs and war, but I think they’re beautiful exactly as themselves. I don’t think they have to represent anything.” “You’re right,” Miller said. “Things can be just what they are.” But he kept his eye on the guy who maybe wasn’t Connor, just in case. And on everyone else, too. n

Making Beautiful Music Together Gil Garburg and Sivan Silver don’t just share domestic life — they also share a piano stool BY E.J. IANNELLI

il Garburg hopes you understand why Sivan Silver won’t be joining him for this interview. The Israeli-born couple are husband and wife, yes, and Silver is actually at home with Garburg in their Berlin apartment as we speak. But it’s been a more chaotic day than usual, full of travel and deadlines, and she’d prefer to spend this brief moment of respite with their 8-year-old son. And besides, as Garburg himself points out only half-jokingly, talking to one of them is almost the same as talking to them both. “We’re pretty synchronized,” he says. That might be a contender for understatement of the year. Garburg and Silver are more than professional musicians who happen to be married to one another. They’re also an internationally acclaimed duo, performing a challenging repertoire of two-piano and four-handed arrangements of works by Brahms, Mendelssohn, Mozart and Stravinsky. Reviewing the duo’s 2015 recording of The Rite of Spring and Petrushka, MusikWoche magazine remarked that their playing was “as a single person; in their expression, they merge together as one.” Their ability to meld into a single performative entity is, unsurprisingly, a common critical refrain. There are, says Garbug, “quite a lot of benefits” to their inseparability. “The biggest benefit for us is that it makes the travel much more interesting, much more beautiful. I have so many friends, other soloists, and I see it when I go alone. They sit in the hotel room, they never really do much. It’s a very lonely life. And when you do it together, everything around becomes a much better experience.” At the same time, their shared professional and domestic lives can exact a price. “It’s a lot of coordination,” he says. “I have two tours and I’m trying to consolidate it with my son’s vacation calendar. Many of the tours we do, we fly all three of us, and sometimes four of us with an au pair, so it’s a lot of work.” Garburg points to their recent trip to Korea to perform a Mendelssohn concerto. A lot hinged on their son being well rested before the performance, but severe jet lag prevented things from going smoothly. ...continued on next page

Montana’s Beartooth Plateau, where the author found enough snow one June for a couple of turns on his skis.

THE MAD SIDE OF SKIING The hot pursuit for a little powder

e’ve officially entered the most agonizing season of the year. The first groans of chair lifts across the region are, at best, still weeks away. Fall seems to stretch on immeasurably. Yet early snows have enticed a few tenacious individuals upward into the mountains. Among these is a friend of mine who, in mid-October, posted several photos via social media of an alpine foray that marked his 13th year of skiing at least one day a month. I chuckled when I saw the post. It’s an admirable quest, sure, but the kind reserved for a select group of die-hards who refuse to subscribe to the seasonlist mentality the rest of us have resigned ourselves to. The more I thought about it, though, the more I realized the extent of my own snow madness. Several years ago I dropped off the edge of Montana’s Beartooth Plateau in June and hitchhiked back to my car, crowding into the cab of a local’s pickup alongside his dog. I’ve carried skis and boots up 3 miles of trail in the high July heat just to shred a small snowfield on the Rocky Mountain Front. Once, I even took an overnight bus from Scotland to southern France purely for the sake of making a few turns that season. The simple act of strapping boards to feet

BY ALEX SAKARIASSEN and sliding down snow is already a ridiculous enough concept to many. Add to that the element of hiking or biking or braving the types of conditions that necessitate avalanche beacons and shovels and you’ve lost the bulk of the casual skiing and snowboarding community as well. Trekking off Glacier National Park’s Going-tothe-Sun Road to ride snowfields in September is the stuff of big-budget ski films, not everyday life. What drives this insanity? Is it the symptom of some as-yet-undiagnosed hereditary condition? Or the manifestation perhaps of a bizarre form of elevation sickness? The real answer to that question is never more clear than in late fall, when anticipation reaches its peak and even last season’s newcomers are ready for action. It’s the thrill of the hunt. The testing of personal boundaries. The sense of awe that washes over us as we look up, out of breath from the climb or the last descent, and see before us an endless range of mountains counting time in units we can’t fathom. Winter makes those experiences more convenient, with its Tbars and gondolas and high-speed quads. But as the die-hards can attest, that buzz is always there, waiting. So the real question is, why aren’t more people insane? n

Beyond the slopes, the resort expanded its food and beverage options with a new yurt bar at the bottom of the Sunrise Basin Quad.

verything you need, including crazy deals, all in one place!

The only thing more painful than counting down the days until the first snow is having outdated or ill-fitting gear. The Inlander Winter Party is the ultimate place to get geared up for the season ahead and kickstart your holiday shopping. With an outstanding lineup of vendors and exclusive event pricing, you’ll find something for you and everyone on your list. “We’ll have the best deals on Yeti products, prices too low to advertise,” says Jon Evans, general manager of The General Store. “We’ll also have some Winter Party exclusives, including branded T-shirts and beanies.” If you have questions about specialty gear, factory reps from Atomic, Nordica, Salomon and more will be on hand to answer your most technical questions. And it pays to be an expert shopper, says Shred Sports Outlet Manager Chad Ohman. “The ski and snowboard technology curve is spiking,” says Ohman.

“The type of equipment you use will directly relate to how much fun you have and how easy your day on the mountain can be.”

If you’re ready to upgrade, Shred Sports Outlet will offer 10 percent off all current season’s gear at the Winter Party, in addition to clearance prices on last season’s products from Völkl, LINE, Rome and Lib Tech. The team at Spokane Alpine Haus is also excited about the Rossignol skis, as the company is now an official Rossignol dealer. Spokane Alpine Haus Owner Drew Harding says it’s a monumental year for alpine technology, particularly Salomon and Atomic’s new binding, the SHIFT MNC 13. The touring binding allows you to go uphill like a tech/pin binding, then turns into a full alpine binding when it’s time to ski down. To keep your gear in peak condition, the Spokane Alpine Haus will offer various discounts, including tuning and waxing specials, at the Winter Party. “We got brand new tuning machines this year,” says Harding. “Our whole tune shop is state of the art. We’ll be able to offer a great product as always, but with much quicker turnarounds to customers.” With local outdoor retailers, factor reps and more, this mega sale has everything to keep the gearhead in you, or in your heart, happy and prepped for the 2018-2019 season.

SATURDAY

LIVE MUSIC STAGE

KYLE RICHARD Noon - 1:15pm

t’s not really party without some live music, and this year’s Coeur d’Alene Casino Stage is jam-packed with all favorites including soulful Blake Braley, bluegrassy Dapper Devils and the old-school rockin’ Nat Park and the Tunnels of Love. Let the party begin!

It’s more difficult than you might think to learn a diverse array of cover songs and then pull them off, but local singer-songwriter Kyle Richard does. From Alicia Keys to John Mellencamp to Maroon 5, Richard uses acoustic guitar, keyboards and looping effects to create a personal spin on those artists’ biggest hits.

FRIDAY

NAT PARK THE TUNNELS OF LOVE 1:45 - 2:45pm

THE DAPPER DEVILS 5:30 - 6:30pm The instrumentation might be acoustic, but don’t let that fool you into thinking Spokane’s Dapper Devils are soft in the least. Playing what they dub “gritgrass,” this crew of mean pickers touch on various aspects of the Americana big tent — from bluegrass to folk to old-fashioned drinkin’ songs.

Nat Park and the Tunnels of Love will win points with countless nostalgic Spokanites based on their name alone, but it’s their energy that will keep people hooked. Fronted by the ever-dexterous lead howler Ryan Tucker, their traditional ’50s-inspired rock ‘n’ roll is anchored by Gawain Fadeley’s virtuosic lead guitar.

(

Covering over a half-century of nearly every song that everyone loves, the Inland Northwest’s beloved power trio, The Rub, conjure vinyl, heavy-footed grooves, martini dance steps, stereo-up, windows-down drivebys, coffeehouse head-hums and anthemic lighter-lit halls. They have become known as the favorite from the mountain top of Schweitzer Mountain Resort.

We celebrate and prepare for the new year with traditional tribal storytelling, canoe blessing and dance exhibition. No celebration would be complete without fry bread and huckleberry jam.

DRAGONFLY 5 - 7pm DJ UNIFEST All Weekend Matt Bogue knows how to get a room moving. The drummer-turned-DJ incorporates everything from old-school hip-hop to electro-fueled dance tunes when he gets ready to rock a crowd.

Voted Best Cover Band in 2018 by Inlander readers, Dragonfly is more than a dance/rock cover band. They’re dancefloor mixologists, able to artfully combine songs like Journey’s “Faithfully” with Prince’s “Purple Rain” at roadhouses, casinos and nightclubs across the Inland Northwest.

IBU: International Bitterness Unit is the standard scale for measuring the amount of hops-inspired bitterness in beer. For example, a hoppy beer like an IPA will have a very high IBU rating, like a 75, while a malty beer like a stout will usually (but not always) have a low IBU rating at around 30. ABV: Alcohol by Volume is a standard measure of how much alcohol (ethanol) is contained in a given volume. A beer or cider with 5% ABV would be 10 proof.

NORTH IDAHO CIDER

Wrecking Ball imperial STOUT

IBU: 100 ABV: 9.5% We pulled out all the stops on this big Imperial Stout. Five types of dark, roasted malt are added to this beer to give it a complex flavor of coffee, chocolate and brown sugar. That much maltiness requires plenty of hops for balance. Two large hop additions prevent the dark malt from totally dominating this monster of a beer.

North Idaho Pineapple/Habanero CIDER

ABV: 6.9% Warm up with a glass of pineapple habanero! Where sweet and tropical pineapple is wrapped in the warmth of habanero, It warms you inside whether on the lift or in the lodge!

Big Juicy IPA IBU: 55 ABV: 6.1 Bright citrus and tropical fruit hop aromas lead the way. A light malt foundation provides a platform for Citra, El Dorado, Belma and Azacca tropical and citrus flavors to shine. Mellow bitterness just balances the fruity notes in this hop forward, golden-colored IPA. %

Bakeware Boss FROM LEFT: Fat Daddio’s Vice President Greg Skipper, President Craig Kuehl and Creative Director Scott Jones.

How a Spokane company made its professional baking supplies known around the world BY CHEY SCOTT

at Daddio’s cake pans are used in bakeries and kitchens around the world. The Spokane-based company supplies celebrity bakers like television cake wizards Buddy Valastro (Cake Boss) and Duff Goldman (Ace of Cakes). Fat Daddio’s pans also line shelves and oven racks at many local bake shops: Sweet Frostings, Celebrations Bakery, MiFlavour, Boots Bakery, Twenty-Seventh Heaven and Just American Desserts. Competitors on baking shows (Nailed It and Sugar Rush on Netflix) and students at culinary schools around the U.S. use its products while mastering the art of pastries and confections. Countless home bakers use Fat Daddio’s bakeware, too, to whip up birthday cakes, cupcakes, loaves of bread, batches of cookies and more. Founded in Spokane in 2006, Fat Daddio’s has since made a name for itself in the world of sweet treats as a maker of sturdy, reliable, professional-grade bakeware and cake decorating supplies. When the company launched, however, cable television-famous bakers and cake-decorating shows weren’t trending like they are today, says Fat Daddio’s co-founder and Vice President Greg Skipper.

30 INLANDER NOVEMBER 1, 2018

“It was all about cooking. The reality was that cooking was sexy and trendy,” Skipper recalls. “But funny things happened. Baking became celebrity-driven and became the thing to do. When we started up, our customer base was shifting quickly. Commercial bakers were still there, but there was this growing interest in your average homemaker or aspiring artist to have the same tools and equipment that commercial guys had.” Skipper’s family had long been in the business — since 1968 — of making aluminum bakeware, but as a private label manufacturer, meaning other brands’ names were imprinted on the pans. The family business moved to Spokane in 1995 and was sold in 2002. Then Skipper met Fat Daddio’s co-founder and President Craig Kuehl, who has a background in banking and finance. A few years later, the duo partnered up on a venture they decided would focus both on making and marketing its own line of baking products. Fat Daddio’s was born. Today, the Spokane company’s products are sold all over the globe, to commercial bakeries and home pastry chefs alike in 61 countries. “That’s what has surprised us the most about our business — a very Western style of baking and cake decorating has now spread to all corners of the Earth,” Skipper notes. Locally, Fat Daddio’s products are available at the Kitchen Engine in downtown Spokane and Carolyn’s Cake & Candy Supplies on North Division. For nonlocal customers, Fat Daddio’s line is also sold by Amazon. “Now that we are within the baking circles; we have overcome the ‘Who are you?’ type of question,” Skipper continues. “We’re known and recognized as a leader in the industry.”

YOUNG KWAK PHOTO

hat makes Fat Daddio’s cookie sheets and cake pans special? Several traits, actually, but it all starts with anodized aluminum. “It looks like an innocuous cake pan here,” Skipper says, pointing to a large, 3-inch-deep cake pan on a countertop inside Fat Daddio’s headquarters in Spokane’s University District. “But there is a lot of engineering and science behind it.” To increase uniform heating, durability and nonstick properties, Fat Daddio’s aluminum pans are all anodized. An electrochemical process, Skipper explains, anodization seals the metal’s surface and not only prevents sugar, fat and other ingredients from seeping into tiny pores in the aluminum, but also makes it nonreactive to acidic foods. Fruit and other acidic ingredients are known to react with and even become discolored by hot aluminum. Non-anodized aluminum bakeware can trap flavors of whatever was last baked on it and also stains easily and permanently. An anodized surface, on the other hand, doesn’t require nonstick coatings that can deteriorate and chip off into food over time. “Craig always called [anodizing] the ‘secret sauce,’” Skipper notes. Local bakery owners who use the company’s pans, including Lydia Cowles at Twenty-Seventh Heaven and Ella Piskun at MiFlavour, say they prefer Fat Daddio’s pans over other brands. “They clean up well and are durable for commercial baking usage,” Cowles says. “I also like that their pans have very straight sides and sharp corners which creates ideal edges for cake decorating.”

“We have pans from different brands but Fat Daddio’s pans are the only ones that are still perfectly intact and not warped,” Piskun says. In addition to the anodized surface, Fat Daddio’s manufacturing process — its products aren’t made in Spokane, but at factories around the world — ensures its pans are of uniform thickness on all sides. This translates to uniform heating, making whatever’s inside rise and cook evenly. In a commercial bakery that’s baking hundreds of cakes a week or month, this consistency is key. Both Piskun and Cowles agree. “Bakers and decorators need that confidence,” notes Fat Daddio’s Creative Director Scott Jones. This commitment to consistency is also why Fat Daddio’s hasn’t divided its products into separate lines for commercial and consumer sales. The cake pans sold at brick-and-mortar and online retailers to home cooks are the same pans being used by celebrity bakers and all scales of commercial bakeries that buy Fat Daddio’s products wholesale. To this point, Skipper and Jones add that it’s also why Fat Daddio’s has changed nothing, really, in the brand’s manufacturing processes since the beginning.

A layered cake made using Fat Daddio’s round cake pans. LIVFORCAKE.COM PHOTO Even as cake-decorating trends shift, from focuses on fondantloaded, sculpted cakes to softer buttercream embellishments, Fat Daddio’s doesn’t alter its internal processes beyond adjusting output of products that are selling well or waning in favor. Its small springform cheesecake pans, for example, have become increasingly popular for making cakes inside pressure cookers. The trend of small “smash” cakes for babies’ first birthdays, as well as individually portioned mini cakes replacing massive sheet cakes, has also boosted sales of Fat Daddio’s smallest pan sizes. In another response to cake-decorating trends, the company introduced its own line of royal icing mixes and fondant, both of which have been well received by cake decorators of all levels. MiFlavour’s Piskun says Fat Daddio’s is the only fondant she uses, since it doesn’t dry out or crack as easily as other brands, and also tastes good. “If that pan is on an assembly line and a Cheesecake Factory or cake company is making 2,000 cakes a day, and they’re coming out perfect every time, that is the best story we can tell — consistency,” Jones says. “We’ve just kept with that and did nothing different. That is the story to share.” n cheys@inlander.com Find Fat Daddio’s online at fatdaddios.com; on Instagram: @fatdaddios

Enjoy all your ABBA favorites with the Spokane Symphony Matt Gilbreath, owner and brewer of Humble Abode Brewing.

Humble Beginnings A new nanobrewery in northeast Spokane aims to be a community gathering place BY DEREK HARRISON

ithin a half hour of opening on an early Saturday afternoon, a handful of repeat customers have settled into the taproom at Humble Abode Brewing. The first customer orders a small pour of everything on the menu. Next, a teenage brother and sister order a couple pints of house-brewed root beer to sip while they play a game of foosball. “What the hell is a waffle cone porter?” asks another customer as he orders a pint of the Fresh Hop Centennial SMaSH IPA. Owner and brewer Matt Gilbreath pours a sample of the Sweet Peaks Waffle Cone Porter and explains that the 5.4 percent alcohol-by-volume (ABV) beer was made with 30 fresh waffle cones from Sweet Peaks Ice Cream in downtown Spokane. This scene is a good representation of what Gilbreath was aiming for when he decided to open a commercial brewery and taproom — a welcoming place for everyone and a selection of unique, modern beers on tap. “We want to know our customers. We want to know how they heard about us, how they feel about our beer,” he remarks. “We want to create a home for people.” Located just a few blocks west of Hillyard, the north Spokane brewery and taproom was opened in late August by Gilbreath and his wife, Courtney. It’s in an old industrial building with a big garage door, large tables and benches to accommodate groups of any size. Games and TVs are scattered throughout. With its 10 taps — eight dedicated to Gilbreath’s beers, one rotating cider tap and one

for his root beer — the taproom offers something for the whole family. While Humble Abode currently doesn’t serve food, guests can enjoy complimentary bowls of pretzels to refresh their palate as they sip through the multiple offerings. Gilbreath says they’re considering multiple possibilities for food in the future. Maybe an outside vendor, or a small kitchen. “Like brats, soft pretzels, snack foods,” he adds. Gilbreath, a Staples office supply store manager when he’s not at the brewery, got his start homebrewing nearly two years ago in his brother’s kitchen. In that short amount time, he says he’s brewed nearly 70 batches of beer. He quickly started brewing more and more, constantly offering his friends free growler fills. “I just wanted them to take beer so I could brew more,” he laughs. Now, he’s the owner of a commercial brewery capable of one-barrel (31-gallon) batches of beer. The small system is fitting for Gilbreath’s brewing style. With each batch of beer only producing two full kegs, it allows him to experiment and quickly rotate the menu. He says Humble Abode won’t really have any flagships since he likes to brew so many different styles. But he does have a particular appreciation of hop-centric beers. “We’re IPA-forward,” he says. “We love hops; we want to showcase hops in all our beers.” He plans to have multiple IPAs on tap at any given time, with a focus on the oh-so-popular New England style. Right now, he says his favorite is the Life Juice N.E. Pale Ale. It’s a low ABV (5.2 percent) hazy beer, brewed with Citra, Simcoe and Laurel hops. He also wants to always have an offering for fans of darker beers. A crowd favorite upon opening was the Coffee Kick-Stouter, which will soon make another appearance on the Humble Abode taplist. The 7 percent ABV stout was made with Roast House 423 cold-brewed coffee and aged on vanilla beans. Being the first brewery to hit northeast Spokane, Gilbreath mentions the location might make it more difficult for craft beer consumers to hear about his establishment. But that’s not going to stop him. “If the beer’s good enough, people will find you,” he says. n Humble Abode Brewing • 1620 E.

The filmmakers leave cury’s troubles or with the band’s songwriting process. no cliché unturned in their story of how Mike Myers shows up as a disapproving record executive Mercury and his Queen bandmates (who who warns the band members against releasing the song are relegated to fairly minor supporting roles) that gives the movie its title, assuring them that no one conquered the rock world in the ’70s and ’80s, will ever nod their head to such a strange, challenging culminating in their landmark 1985 perforcomposition.

FILM | TAKE TWO

The kids aren’t alright: Jonah Hill’s Mid90s explores the darker side of adolescence.

The Teenage Grind Writer-director Jonah Hill recaptures retro skate culture in the coming-of-age flick Mid90s BY SETH SOMMERFELD

ou know you’re old when they start making noteworthy period pieces about your youth. Apparently, it’s already time to wax nostalgic about California skateboarding culture from 20-plus years ago, and that’s just what Jonah Hill does in Mid90s, his aptly named writing and directing debut. While distributor A24 (Moonlight, Lady Bird) released Mid90s, the film feels distinctly less like awards fodder and more like a chance for Hill to dip his toe into the moviemaking waters, with mostly positive results. Mid90s follows Stevie (Sunny Suljic), a scrawny 13-year-old white kid who lives with his mom (Katherine Waterston) and short-tempered meathead older brother Ian (Lucas Hedges). Searching for a place to fit in, he stumbles upon a group of four skater delinquents who hang out and work in Motor Avenue Skate Shop — the cool-headed black ace of the pack Ray (Na-kel Smith, whose natural charisma is the most likeable part of the film); the mixed race hedonistic co-leader F.S. (Olan Prenatt); slow-witted white cameraman Fourth Grade (Ryder McLaughlin); and Ruben (Gio Galicia), the skinny Hispanic underling. Stevie soon becomes part of the group, eventually receiving a condensed coming-of-age crash course in cigarettes, booze, drugs, sex, lawbreaking and plenty of skating. Authentic senses of character and place serve as the foundational strengths that Mid90s builds upon. All the roles are cast brilliantly; even the actors who are supposed to be good skaters — Ray and F.S. — can really pull off the tricks. A band of skate punks like this is entirely authentic to the era. The whole movie was shot on scratchy Super 16mm film, which is presented in a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio to feel even more like a throwback to ’90s skate vids. The soundtrack also excels at setting the mood with familiar songs from Pixies, Wu-Tang Clan and Morrissey. There are a couple spots

The Music of

Queen performed by

that could potentially be controversial in 2018 (the use of homophobic and racial slurs, or the boys celebrating after an uncomfortable teen sex scene), but they would be 100 percent real to a group of young guys like this in 1995. Everything looks and sounds the part. But while Hill manages to capture the age in the lens, his script sometimes tends toward the generic. Stevie doesn’t really grow as much as he kind of goes along with anything that comes his way. His moral conflict becomes personified by Ray and F.S., but that’s basically painting with clear and obvious polar ends of the spectrum. Ray grew up poor and wants to turn skating into a profession; F.S. grew up rich, so his entitlement has led him to be lazy and seek whatever makes him happy in the moment. Should Stevie be a nice, caring person with life goals like Ray, or a go-nowhere cool guy like F.S.? Hill’s mild cinéma vérité approach works for the extended, music-backed shots of skating, but doesn’t handle as well when he dips back into narrative. But the real glimpse that the actor MID90S might have a future Rated R behind the camera Directed by Jonah Hill comes super early, Starring Sunny Suljic, Lucas when Stevie enters his Hedges, Katherine Waterston brother’s bedroom to explore despite threats not to do so. It could be a short film unto itself, as he maneuvers the space — looking at stacks of magazines, attempting to lift weights, going through his CD collection — with care not to disturb anything in a noticeable way. It beautifully manages to establish two characters and the specifics of the relationship dynamic — especially the way Stevie can’t help but look up to Ian — without a word. Hill safely lands an ollie with Mid90s, but whether he can nail vert tricks in the cinematic halfpipe remains to be seen. n

FLOWER

Molly Burch channels her newfound confidence on her nuanced, textured sophomore album BY HOWARD HARDEE

n the past, Molly Burch presented herself as the quintessential singer-songwriter with a guitar strapped to her shoulder, but not anymore. When she plays the Bartlett with a five-piece band, she’ll stand behind the mic and sing hands-free, like the pop stars she idolized growing up. “I don’t really love playing guitar,” she says. “I kind of picked it up out of necessity. It’s less expensive to tour with fewer people, but for the album-release tour especially I wanted to do it the way I like. I love just being able to perform, and singing is the most important thing to me. When I play guitar, I kind of feel distracted, like I can’t perform the way I’d like.” The Austin-based musician is touring to support her sophomore album, First Flower (out last month on independent record label Captured Tracks). Whereas her chief focus on debut album Please Be Mine (2017) was romantic love, Burch turns her focus as a songwriter inward

to explore how anxiety affects her personal relationships and place in the world. Speaking to the Inlander on the road somewhere in the Southwestern U.S., she says she’s never felt more comfortable in her own skin, but learning to live with anxiety is still a work in progress. “The point of the album is not to say I’ve conquered anything; it’s very much a journey,” she says. “I definitely feel more confident than I did growing up, or even just two years ago.” As a younger woman, she struggled intensely with performance anxiety; simply identifying herself as a musician was a terrifying prospect that would result in a deer-in-headlights response. However, she studied jazz vocal performance at the University of North Carolina in Asheville and gradually overcame her severe self-doubt through repetition and support from her sister, “the one who pushed me to pursue music,” Burch says.

She committed to a career as a musician after college and recorded Please Be Mine, which was inspired by breaking up with her first love. She supported the album with a solid year of touring. At first, she found it difficult to meet many of the expectations associated with being a modern musician — doing interviews, promo spots, managing her social media presence. “It definitely was something I had to get used to,” she says. “But, again, with practice, I don’t feel nervous anymore. Phone interviews used to cause me a lot of anxiety. If I had to do it on the road, I would make the band stop at a gas station, but now I’m doing it in the van and they can probably hear me, and it’s OK.” But that’s not to say Burch has vanquished her demons entirely. During the month or so she set aside to write First Flower, the same old uncertainty crept in. “It’s a lot different than my first album,” she says. ...continued on next page

“Even though it was really personal, I had written it over a couple years and we had been performing those songs live before we recorded them. This one was really different, because it was the first time I was writing an album in one sitting, basically, and I had a whole new band. It was a totally different process. I was struggling with self-doubt so much when I was writing it. I just felt like I couldn’t do it. It felt like an accomplishment just to have it done.” Always technically capable as a singer, Burch’s range and control are noticeably improved over her work on Please Be Mine.

Burch certainly has the skills to make it in the music industry. And she’s gaining confidence with every performance, leaning more into her identity as a dynamite vocalist.

The Lovesores bring bile, bite and punky bravado to Berserk on Saturday.

Reckless Rock ’n’ Roll Portland’s the Lovesores churn out vintage roar with their new album Gods of Ancient Grease BY C. A. COYLE

ans of high-octane trash rock ’n’ roll are familiar with the name Scott “Deluxe” Drake. Drake, a veteran of the so-called “gunkpunk” circuit, fronted the Southern Californiabased Suicide Kings for the latter part of the 1980s. And in the wake of the Suicide Kings’ demise, Drake established the even rowdier outfit the Humpers, who would make three albums for Epitaph Records and gain international attention during their run in the ’90s. Since the end of the Humpers, Drake has been living in Portland for more than a decade and amassed yet another lineup to produce and deliver ferocious rock music at clubs around the Northwest: the Lovesores. With five EPs and a single already under the band’s collective belt, the five-piece combo rides into Spokane just a few months after the release of Gods of Ancient Grease, its debut full-length on Dead Beat Records. Much like the Humpers, the Lovesores represent the blueprint for sleazy, reckless rock ’n’ roll akin to the Heartbreakers, Rocket from the Tombs or the Saints. Though Drake admits there are a lot of similarities with the music of both the Humpers and Lovesores, there is a stark contrast between the environments that have manifested each project. “The music scene in Portland could not be more different than the Southern California scene in the ’90s,” says Drake. “There’s a lot more spirit of camaraderie in Portland. The bands are far more friendly with one another and supportive of each other even if they play different styles. That was pretty unheard of in Southern California in the early ’90s. It was pretty cutthroat.”

Portland’s scene may not bear the toxic atmosphere in which bands make career advancement their main objective — at least not at the level of Los Angeles, New York or Seattle — but there is no shortage of baffling shifts in American culture for Drake and the Lovesores to roar about through a PA. In “Blue Suede Collar,” a Yardbirds-drowning-in-Dead Boys ripper off Gods of Ancient Grease, Drake pities the mundane and fruitless life of the average working class American with the lines, “Work until you buckle, work until you crack, thinking ‘bout the time that you’ll never get back.” The extra bite that comes with Gods of Ancient Grease can be attributed to the production work of Poison Idea’s Steve Hanford (also known as “Thee Slayer Hippy”), who Drake credits with being an encouraging disciplinarian during the recording sessions. “He really pushed us further than we could’ve gone on our own,” Drake says. “He’s like the sports coach who says, ‘Is that all you’ve got!? … Give me 50 more pushups!’ [laughs] … He also just has a really good ear for little touches that help songs come to life.” Near the end of the album comes “Good Girls Don’t Scream,” a melodic, New York Dollsheavy tune that mocks excess and perceived luxury. Ten years ago, a loaded title such as this would likely go unnoticed by a listener — or at least not judged until after the whole song has been played. In 2018, it is arguably enough to spark a boycott. Drake has a different take altogether. “The song is kind of a train-of-thought lyric about how electronic media, government and corporations — not to mention religions — bend reality,” he says. “‘Good Girls Don’t Scream’ is a fake horror movie title. … It could just as easily have been ‘Rats from Planet Skull.’ … It doesn’t really have anything to do with the content of the song. But I get why people have those knee-jerk reactions. … They live in a constant state of induced paranoia. You can hardly blame them when you see the shit-show this country’s politics have become. “I believe in freedom of expression, even if it’s ugly. Obviously, though, if your intention is somehow to use music for the purpose of doing bodily harm to other people, that’s another story.” n

he INB Performing Arts Center has been renovated and rechristened First Interstate Center for the Arts, and it’s celebrating its reopening with a free concert on Monday night. Headlining alongside Seattle’s Pickwick is L.A. singer-songwriter ZZ Ward, a true blues obsessive who’s indebted to legends like Big Mama Thornton and Robert Johnson, but still knows how to conjure a hook that’d be right at home on contemporary Top 40. Ward’s 2017 album The Storm features timeless tunes that nonetheless adhere to 21st century production flourishes — dig that bass drop on “Let It Burn,” or the glossy synthesizers on “Domino” — and it’s seamless enough to get modern pop fanatics interested in the souls of the past.

Local author and naturalist Jack Nisbet has a new book.

YOUNG KWAK PHOTO

WORDS DROPPING KNOWLEDGE

Spokane-based author and naturalist Jack Nisbet is renowned for his books exploring the human and natural history of the Intermountain West and Northwest, and his latest is no different. The Dreamer and the Doctor tells the story of Dr. Carrie Leiberg, a pioneer-era physician, and her botanist husband John, as they move to Idaho in 1885 to establish a homestead and make some money in the mineral trade. It didn’t quite work out that way as they both found themselves fighting for the health of the public lands surrounding them, and Nisbet recounts their struggles that ultimately helped shape the identity of much of the Inland Northwest. You have two chances to hear Nisbet talk about his new book the next couple Thursdays. — DAN NAILEN Jack Nisbet • Thu, Nov. 1 at 7 pm • Free • Auntie’s Bookstore • 402 W.

Whitney Cummings • Thu, Nov. 8 at 7:30 pm; Fri, Nov. 9 and Sat, Nov. 10 at 7 and 9:30 pm (both nights) • $20-$35 • Spokane Comedy Club • 315 W. Sprague • spokanecomedyclub.com • 318-9998

Emily Ruskovich’s Idaho tells the story of a couple living in North Idaho, reaching to uncover secrets of the past that have colored their lives with grief. Ruskovich’s debut novel, published early last year, will come close to the heart of many Inland Northwesterners, as it’s filled with depictions of Idaho’s panhandle. The state’s community reading initiative, Everybody Reads, is hosting eight opportunities to come together and discuss the book in various locations around the area, including the Palouse and Lewis-Clark Valley. The author presents in Moscow and at Uniontown’s Dahmen Barn on Wednesday, Nov. 7. She’ll be in Colfax and Pullman for two separate readings on Thursday, Nov. 8. See the link below for complete details, and plan not to miss a chance to hear from this acclaimed regional author. — BROOKE CARLSON

Back in 2011, you couldn’t find a hotter TV commodity than Whitney Cummings, who managed to create two separate sitcoms that were both picked up by major networks. Two Broke Girls ran for six seasons. Whitney, which she also starred in, lasted just two, and the critics were, as they say, unkind. It would be impossible to capture the salty comedic edge Cummings brings to her stand-up in any network show — her mind is definitely more inclined toward cable’s openness — and she’s a natural on stage, slaying live audiences with an approach that inspired Variety and Entertainment Weekly to both tab her as a “comedian to watch” almost immediately after she got her start. — DAN NAILEN

— Your neverending story —

First Friday Noob? We’ve Got You. WORDS MISINFORMATION WARS

Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and longtime New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof is a weekly must-read in my household. His travels into the world’s news hot spots and oft-forgotten places offer a sobering view of humanity, and the United States’ role in both the uplift and suffering of people across the globe. Whether he’s reporting from protests in Tiananmen Square or the Darfur genocide (his coverage of each earned him those Pulitzers), or offering hope via books written with his wife Sheryl WuDunn, like A Path Appears, Kristof always has something to say that’s worth reading, or in this case, listening to in person. His Spokane visit is a joint production of Humanities Washington as part of its fall series, Moment of Truth: Journalism and Democracy in the Age of Misinformation, and Gonzaga’s Center for Public Humanities. — DAN NAILEN An Evening with Nicholas Kristof • Mon, Nov. 5 at 7 pm • $10 • Gonzaga University Hemmingson Center • 702 E.

COMMUNITY JUBILEE SPREE

For three decades now, a locally organized event has been helping makers and artisans around the world feed and house their families, send their children to school and maintain a sense of dignity by selling their handmade goods for a fair price. The Jubilee International Marketplace, held at the start of the holiday shopping season each year by First Presbyterian Church in downtown Spokane, again will feature dozens of vendors selling handmade items from all around the globe. These fairly traded goods include jewelry, clothing, artwork, home goods and more, made in places like Chile, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Thailand, Zambia and beyond. The two-day event is a great way to kickstart the giving season and get a head start on your own gift buying, all while supporting a worthy cause. — CHEY SCOTT Jubilee International Marketplace • Fri, Nov. 2 from 10 am-7 pm and Sat, Nov. 3 from 9 am-4 pm • Free admission • First Presbyterian Church • 318 S.

CHEERS JEERS

I SAW YOU FALL DRINKS AND WINKS I saw you at the Northtown Square Starbucks. You ordered a Carmel Apple Cider while singing along to cheesy ‘80s tunes. You made me smile. You have the most gorgeous blue eyes.

CHEERS OCTOBER 7 ANGELS AT THE SPORTSMAN CAFE On October 7 we reluctantly and lovingly said goodbye to our nearly 19 year old pug terrier mix, Ricky Ricardo. After leaving the Pet Emergency Clinic we stopped at the Sportsman for some relief, coffee and a little breakfast. Upon leaving we were informed that someone who had snuck out already had purchased our breakfast. I want to say that your act of kindness and a BIG effect on our morning of grief. Whoever you are, bless you with all my heart and soul, you helped two very sad adults feel enveloped by our little community even if we don’t know who you are. Thank you, thank you, thank you! May you receive the same kindness you

exhibited, my faith in humankind has been rekindled because of your action. I COULDN’T ASK FOR MORE Thank you for running to get me special juice at 8 PM and for waking up to help me every 45 minutes... for putting up with my complaint and for listening to my woes. You are my hero. You are more than I could ever ask for. CALM IN OUR CHAOS It’s a blessing that we have been able to find each other because I am not sure I would have been able to make it through the Denny’s debacle without you. You are my constant support, comfort and calming being — you are strength and persistence — you are resilience and diligence personified. IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS I find myself feeling the most joy when you are happy too — finding our happiness in the little things, long cuddles, strong drinks, amazing food, hilarious internet jokes and goofs made by our kiddos. You make every moment better when you are near. I cannot imagine a life without you now that you are in it — and I dont want to. I love everything about you. I love all of you, and all of us, our mishmash of all the happy little things.

WHAT’S YOUR POINT? To the woman holding the ‘build the wall’ sign in the middle of the day Monday on Division Street while jabbering on her smartphone, why weren’t you at work? I’d gladly build a wall if it separated me from lazy, ignorant people like you. I doubt you’ve worked hard labor at less than minimum wage a day in your life. That’s a job for someone else right?

POLITICIANS PROVE THEIR INTERESTS Cathy McMorris Rogers and Lisa Brown, you’ve definitely proven your interests. Every day I get batch after batch of your slick campaign literature in the mail. (How many trees were lost in this project?) The media published a tally of just how much each of you took from your political war chests, and it was thousands and thousands of dollars ... spent solely on you, to seduce your voters. I do disabled veteran advocacy; do you know that currently in Washington state, there are disabled veterans, some decorated, living on the street for no other reason than that their VA benefits ran out, or that they have serious mental health problems that have not been treated? Think some of that campaign money might help them? Similarly, every day for reasons yet unknown, 20 returned vets of all ranks and wars, are killing themselves, day in, day out. This number has improved, thank goodness, from what it was, but no number of deaths is acceptable. Clearly, that

So, sorry, Lisa Brown and Cathy McMorris Rogers, I do not want either of you to represent my war-related disabled veteran family; Lisa, Cathy, I firmly believe that you have clearly shown your true values — which have nothing to do with veterans, veteran families, disabled veterans, your regular constituents and their needs; in fact, your singular focus is, and will always be YOU. RE: NON-VOTERS I would rather people not vote rather than be uninformed voters. n

Advice Goddess BUSINESS MEATING

AMY ALKON

A man asked me for my number at an event, saying he wanted to take me to dinner. I told him I’d just ended a relationship and wasn’t ready to date. Of course, he then said it’d be a business dinner, and I consented and wrote my number down. I feel that I had bad boundaries and wish a) he hadn’t been so forward and b) I hadn’t given my number. How could I handle this better in the future? I’m a pretty assertive woman, so my collapsing under pressure was disturbing. —Jell-O

This is like your telling somebody who wants you to dog-sit “Sorry, I’m allergic to dogs” and having them come back with “Actually, he identifies as a parrot.” To understand why you -- “a pretty assertive woman” -- basically defaulted to smileyface emoji mode when the poo emoji better fit the bill, it helps to know a few things about the psychology of personality. There are five major domains of personality that drive how a person acts -- and they tend to be fairly stable across time and situations. These include conscientiousness -- which reflects a person’s level of self-control and sense of responsibility to others. Another is extroversion -- reflecting where a person falls on a spectrum from outgoingness to seeing social events as a form of torture that should have been banned by the Geneva Conventions. Researchers find that women across cultures -- whether rating their own personality or being rated by others -- consistently come out higher than men in one of these personality domains: “agreeableness.” This is a “nice girl/nice guy” personality trait that plays out in kindness, generosity, warmth and a strong motivation to have positive interactions with others. It makes sense that women -- on average, smaller and weaker than men -- would be higher in agreeableness. Psychologist Joyce Benenson, who researches sex differences from infancy on, believes that women’s tendency to default to polite acquiescence in the face of conflict is an evolved tactic to reduce their chances of being physically harmed. As a woman, it’s likely you’re a high scorer in the agreeableness department. However, as anthropologist Jerome Barkow points out, “biology is destiny only if we ignore it.” Recognizing your propensity to be “nice” allows you to preplan to act in your best interest -- have prepared answers for creative pursuers like this guy. For example: 1. You’re not ready to date. 2. You’re happy to take a phone call to see whether there might be a business opportunity. This should help you separate potentially lucrative business propositions from tarted-up versions of “There’s a very important meeting you simply must attend...in my pants.”

DROOP-DEAD GORGEOUS

I lost a bunch of weight after a horrible breakup. I’m eating healthful food now -- yay. But I’m very aware that I’m one of those flabby skinny people. I used to go to the gym regularly, but I stopped, and now it’s been two years. How can I motivate myself? —Stick Figure There is an unorthodox but excuse-proof way to get yourself back to the gym: Hire a psychopath to chase you there with an ax. If, however, the psychopaths in your area are busy servicing their regular clients, you might try rethinking the power you give your feelings over your behavior. The fact that you have a feeling -- “Waah...I don’t wanna go to the gym” -- is not reason to listen to it and obey it as if you were its feudal serf. Consider that unless there’s a national disaster or a wizard turns you into a decorative porch owl, you are physically capable of getting to the gym. Make a pledge to yourself that no matter how unmotivated you are to go there, you will just go. This “just do it” method, giving yourself no choice in the matter, is important, because according to studies by psychologist Phillippa Lally and others, repetition leads to habit acquisition. To unpack what this means, behaviors you repeat become automatic -- meaning you eventually just do them mindlessly; deciding whether to do them is no longer part of the process. To kick off the campaign for the new gym-going you, do this robo-gymgoing thing every day for two weeks, and then you can pull back to whatever your normal gym schedule would be. Give yourself a sense of accomplishment by monitoring your behavior. Check off days you go work out on a goal attainment app, or just color them in on a calendar. Giving yourself visual evidence of your progress should help you stay motivated during that time period before the physical results start to show. Kind of a bummer when you tell people you’ve been going to the gym and their response is, “And doing 20 sets of I’m not getting out of this car?” n ©2018, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. • Got a problem?

Coming Down Plummeting cannabis stocks shake confidence in the industry BY TUCK CLARRY

s Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legalization remains in its honeymoon phase, the cannabis marketplace is apparently coming into focus enough for investors to begin accurately gauging the potential of the up-and-coming industry. And the first week of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cannabis marketplace only brought on the worst week ever for pot stocks. Heavyweight Aurora Cannabis dropped 16 percent last week and a total of 44 percent the last seven sessions with the New York Stock Exchange. The market valuation of $200 billion by Constellation Brands CEO Bill Newlands earlier this year had been outlandish enough that many conservative marketplace investors remained skeptical. ...continued on page 50

Constellation Brands CEO Bill Newlands

“COMING DOWN,” CONTINUED... And the steps to U.S. federal prohibition ending doesn’t seem foreseeable in the short term, making faithful investing difficult. Yet, the continued murkiness hasn’t prevented new U.S. cannabis startups and companies going public on the Canadian Securities Exchange. The thought by many early investors is that even in this unstable time in federal prosecution/allowance, the status quo is still safe enough to trust the industry to grow moving forward. Industry analyst and Forbes contributor Alan Brochstein wrote in October that he expects more than 100 U.S. producers to trade publicly by 2020. Citing the House Judiciary Committee’s preliminary legislative efforts to allow medical cannabis research, Brochstein believes that the impediments towards safe investments in the cannabis industry are beginning to be addressed. But that optimism isn’t unanimous as many investors still see pot companies overvalued, according to analyst Laurent Grandet. “Some suggested we were in an asset bubble that could last up to five to six years,” Grandet wrote after the Institutional Capital & Cannabis Conference. Grandet noted Newlands’ Constellation Brands as one of the riskier profiles for investors, noting a lack of secondary big growth opportunities, and that the concept of beverage products entering the marketplace by 2019 highly unlikely. And even when federal legalization would occur, regulatory bodies such as the FDA would only further delay any sort of product entry any time soon. Grandet also referenced Cannabis Trade Federation CEO Neal Levine’s disclosure that the IRS currently confiscates nearly 80 percent of cannabis businesses’ profits. It’s clear that the potential of the plant mixed with the limits of the marketplace it would enter makes for unsteady expectations until prohibition-era roadblocks are removed. n

NOTE TO READERS

64,000

Be aware of the differences in the law between Idaho and Washington. It is illegal to possess, sell or transport cannabis in the State of Idaho. Possessing up to an ounce is a misdemeanor and can get you a year in jail and up to a $1,000 fine; more than three ounces is a felony that can carry a fiveyear sentence and fine of up to $10,000. Transporting marijuana across state lines, like from Washington into Idaho, is a felony under federal law.
