t’s the fifth century in Ireland. That’s as specific as the timing gets, because that’s how legends work. St. Brigit, having earned a place in the Catholic church after being born a slave, was popular among the poor and known for her compassion toward women. She did annoy St. Patrick, though. Her complaints about women forced to wait around for proposals that might never come irked him to such an extent he declared that every four years, on leap day, a woman could propose to a man. Now it’s Feb. 29, 2004 in Los Angeles, the night of the Academy Awards. Screenwriter Stephen Susco had just returned from Tokyo after wrapping up production drafts for the 2004 horror film The Grudge. He began researching “The Ladies’ Privilege” for another project and, offhand, shared the legend with his girlfriend Bridget Foley, a recent graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.

The Creekside Elementary School Marimba Ensemble drew a crowd on opening day for the Sammamish Farmers Market, May 20. The event saw a record-breaking turnout of about 1,500 people, Sammamish Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Deb Sogge said. This year’s mild weather meant shoppers saw strawberries and cherries. The market will host four new farmers this year. There are also new dinner options with the Flying Kalache’s and Big House BBQ. The Sammamish Farmers Market is every Wednesday until Sept. 30 from 4-8 p.m. at the Sammamish City Hall Plaza.

EF&R to lose deputy chief
BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Come June, Eastside Fire & Rescue will be down a man. Deputy Chief Bud Backer will be leaving Eastside Fire to accept a position with East Pierce Fire and Rescue as fire chief June 15. His last day with EF&R will be June 10. “I’m pretty excited about it,” Backer said. “It’s a pretty good feeling.” The East Pierce department opened its search nationally. Backer was one of 21 initial candidates and among the five SEE EF&R, 4
A 46-year-old bank robber whose underground bunker was discovered in Sammamish earlier this year was sentenced to prison on May 18. Bradley Steven Robinett, 46, featured on “America’s Most Wanted” in 2011, pled guilty in January to escape, being a felon in possession of a firearm and interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. U.S. District Judge James L. Robart sentenced Robinett to 12 years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, as well as $12,886 in restitution last week.
Erica Maniez walked through a house on Southeast Andrews Street and into the backyard. The house — a 130-year-old wooden two-story — was the Gilman Town Hall Museum and the backyard contained a low-slung concrete bunker. Maniez, the director of the Issaquah History Museums, walked inside. She came out holding a boot with spiky nails poking out of its soles. By this time, most of the dozen people that had been milling around the exhibits in the museum had come outside, forming a loose semi-circle around Maniez. She spoke. “This concrete building was the city of Issaquah’s second jail,” she said. “You might have noticed I said ‘second.’ When we were at the hatchery and we walked by the white building that has Rogue Ales and Spirits inside now, right around there, there used to be a small wooden building that the city used as its first jail. “Now, this thing I’m holding in my hands,” she said,
holding up her boot. “This is a cork boot.” Cork boots, she continued, were necessary footwear for loggers. The nails in their soles allowed loggers to penetrate wood and earth with their footsteps and create traction on rain-slick surfaces. At one time, many loggers called Issaquah home. Many of those loggers drank. And on any given night, some of them would be thrown into jail until they sobered up. “One night, two men were put into the first jail after a night of drinking and the guard forgot to take away their cork boots,” Maniez said. “So he left and they kicked down the building. Then they went home for the night.” The story was just one told over the course of Saturday’s Issaquah History Walk, part of a roughly monthly series of tours put on by the Issaquah History Museums from March to October. Maniez led Saturday’s walk around Olde Town. On June 20, museum Docent Doug Bristol will lead a tour through Grand Ridge Park to an old coal mining site. SEE HISTORY WALK, 3

Robinett had been convicted of bank robbery in 2004 and was released from a federal prison in Arizona seven years later. He had been bussed to Seattle on the condition he report to a halfway house, but he never showed. Police encountered him twice in 2009. In September 2009 he fled police during a car chase on Bainbridge Island. In November 2009, Washington State Patrol attempted to corner Robinett at a Bellevue park and ride, where the suspect rammed a patrol vehicle before fleeing the area. “This defendant left a dangerous wake wherever he went—for the law enforcement officials who tried to apprehend him, and the public who lived near his stashes of weapons and other stolen goods,” U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes said in a press release. “I commend the FBI and ATF agents who continue to use information from this defendant to protect public safety.” He was finally ap-
prehended in Hillsboro, Oregon in June 2014. His guilty plea helped investigators locate dozens of stolen firearms stashed in Portland, Oregon, Sammamish and, most recently discovered, in Olympic National Park. A joint team of investigators from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, as well as local law enforcement and the Washington State Patrol, uncovered the underground Sammamish bunker March 10, which was dug into the hillside at 3500 East Lake Sammamish Parkway SE. Within the roughly 8-foot-by-10-foot bunker, authorities removed several full storage containers. Approximately five storage containers were buried on private property in northwest Portland, Oregon, unearthed by the ATF, FBI and Hillsboro Police Department in Oregon. Friday, May 22, authorities located the last cache of stolen goods in Olympic National Forest near Quilcene, the Peninsula Daily News reported.

HISTORY WALK CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Neither person shies away from the darker details of the city’s history. Topics on Saturday’s walk included chronic public drunkenness, the likelihood of injury and death for the city’s miners and loggers, and the city’s single recorded hanging — the 1889 lynching of a man who attempted to murder a wife and husband by blowing up their home with dynamite, instead killing three others. The details of that story are up for debate: Some say the perpetrator was a jilted lover, and the blown up site was a boarding hotel. An article in the Chicago Daily Inter Ocean from that year identified the bomber as Albert Schaeffer, targeting George Bodala and
his wife in their home and instead killing their 9-year-old daughter and two boarders. “In history, there’s a difference between what really happened and how we perceive what happened,” Maniez said. Case in point: Many might brag that Issaquah had electricity before Seattle, but fewer will mention that the difference in time was about 90 seconds — the time it took to travel on the power line. Everything is approached with a veneer of humor and Maniez and Bristol keep up a relaxed environment. The path of the walk itself sticks to a mostly chronological retelling of early city history. However, that path loops up, down, back, forth and back again as it attempts to follow time. Some of the stops are informal, guided by the
interests of the people on the tour. And for every story of old-timey horror or ignorance on the path, there’s a tale of humor, hope and humans relying on each other in a time when it was a necessary way of life. Case in point: The Oddfellows. Few people realize the Oddfellows began as a guild for people with unusual jobs. In Issaquah, the group functioned as an important social circle and benefactor for the city, building projects like the Hillside Cemetery. They also provided the most rudimentary insurance for its members: If a logger lost his hand, or a miner suffocated on dangerous gases, the Oddfellows would pony up to support the newly unemployable man or his survivors. “It wasn’t much,” Maniez said. “But it was something.”

WHAT A FIND: Sammamish Police arrested a 26-year-old Renton man with a $50,000 felony warrant for possession of stolen property in the first degree. Police initially made contact with the Renton man’s friend who had been sleeping in a vehicle in the 7-Eleven parking lot at 3302 East Lake Sammamish Parkway SE just after midnight. The man said he was coming down from a methamphetamine high, a relapse from almost 100 days sober, which is why he fell asleep waiting for his friend. Police recognized the Renton man as having an extensive criminal history and decided to hide behind an ambulance in the parking lot to wait for him to return. It was there

Sammamish murder trial date set BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The trial date for one of the men accused of the first murder in incorporated Sammamish history was set last week for Oct. 12. Chirstopher J. Shade, 19, of Texas, is being charged with first degree murder for brutally beating a Boeing manager to death with a shovel in the man’s Sammamish home before fleeing to Canada with Kevin D. Patterson, 22, in
September 2014. Patterson is also being charged with first degree murder. Canadian officers arrested the pair in a hotel nearly 12 hours after the body of 57-year-old Sammamish resident Richard Bergesen was found. Shade was extradited from Canada in December 2014 and booked into the King County Jail. Patterson, who has duel citizenship, remains in custody in British Columbia. On May 6, the Canadian

However, after the Eastside Fire regional board of directors unanimously decided to widen the search to also include external candidates, he decided to look at other options. The deadline to apply for the East Pierce position was in midApril, Backer said. He said he looks forward to working within a department that really behaves as a single entity. While the interlocal agreement holds Eastside Fire & Rescue partners, the city of Sammamish, Issaquah and North Bend, as well as Districts 10 and 38, together, each group is concerned with individual

The case has yet to be assigned to a judge.
rights, Backer said. While Backer faces the challenges of handling a financial shortfall at East Pierce, he said he’s looking forward to being able to plan and work within a department he knows will still be there in a decade. Backer joined EF&R in 2010 and became deputy chief in 2011. He spent nine years as deputy chief for the Woodinville Fire and Life Safety department in Washington prior to joining Eastside Fire. He was fire chief at King County Fire District 45 from 1998 to 2000. Backer graduated from Eastern Washington University with a bachelor’s degree in industrial technology and graduated from Grand Canyon University in Arizona with a master’s degree in Fire Service Leadership. Backer is also a graduate from the National Fire Academy’s Executive Fire Officer program.

1322945
Georgetown University bound Issaquah senior Mikey Giannopulus rose to the occasion with his team’s season on the line against one their biggest rivals. Giannopulus, who scored a game-high four goals, led Issaquah to a convincing 9-3 win against the Eastside Catholic Crusaders in the Washington Lacrosse Division 1 high school quarterfinals on May 21 at Eastside Catholic High School in Sammamish. Issaquah bolted out to a 5-0 lead in the second quarter. Eastside Catholic didn’t record its first goal until Zack Steffens found the back of the net with 1:31 left in the second quarter, cutting Issaquah’s lead to 5-1. The Crusaders cut Issaquah’s lead to three goals on two occasions in the third quarter but couldn’t get any closer. Giannopulus said it was probably one of the most complete games his team has played all year. “It feels great. We always tend to have a quarter where we are just playing awesome but today we were able to keep rolling with it,” Giannopulus said. “At the end of the day it just means a lot to take this one (win) home.” Issaquah head coach Brandon Fortier said Giannopulus epitomized what it meant to be a leader in the most critical contest of the 2015 season to date. Everything was on the line and Giannoplus rose to the occassion for his team when they needed it the most.
“I just told him as he walked over here that it was the best job he’s done of being a leader all year. We kind of had leadership issues collectively earlier in the season and the way he performed today was a big time key,” Fortier said. Issaquah goalie Jordan Dondoyano surrendered just three goals against Eastside Catholic’s high octane offense. Steffens scored two goals for the Crusaders and James Wehe recorded one goal. Issaquah’s Ryan Egland scored two goals while Anthony O’Reilly, Liam Colter and Jake Gonzalez scored a goal apiece. “Whenever they got a goal, we were able to get one back. That gave our defense a lot of confidence. The defense played awesome,” Fortier said. The Eagles faced the Mercer Island Islanders in the semifinals on May 27. As of press time results of this contest were unavailable. “We’re just going to take it one game at a time. We are excited to face Mercer and compete against them. We want to let them know who we are,” Giannopulus said on May 21. Fortier said his team is looking forward to its rematch against Mercer Island. “I’m sure the guys are thrilled. We were pretty disappointed with what happened the last time we played them. I think this game is a confidence booster. It will certainly be another great game,” Fortier said.

Cougars defeat Crusaders on the diamond BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
One bad inning derailed the Eastside Catholic Crusaders baseball team’s quest to reach the Class 3A state quarterfinals. The Crusaders led the Central Kitsap Cougars 4-2 after four innings but saw the Cougars record four runs in the fifth inning, taking a 6-4 lead. The Crusaders wouldn’t record a run in the final three innings and the Cougars hung on for a 6-4 win in first round of the Class 3A state tournament on May 23 in
Yelm. Crusaders’ head coach Kyle Larsen said things just didn’t go according to plan for his squad. “They scored a couple of their runs with two outs. It was just one of those things in state where you have to have the ball bounce your way. Unfortunately for us, it just didn’t go our way on Saturday,” Larson said. The Crusaders finished the 2015 season with an overall record of 21-4. “I told the guys to keep their heads up. They accomplished so much this season. It is tough right at that moment after you

get knocked out of the tournament because your season comes to an end so fast,” Larsen said. “If I told these guys going into this season that we would finish the regular season 18-2 and make it to state they would have been super excited about it. Unfortunately it didn’t end the way we wanted it to but we still accomplished a lot.” The Crusaders senior class consists of Addison Hull, Kollin Malsam, Billy Dimlow, Alec Baer, Colton Mahovlich, Jake Nealon, Brooks Meadowcroft, Griffin Mueller, Matt Kvech and John Kellum. “Those guys had an amazing run and did so much for the program. It was kind of my first group of seniors that I have watched grow and mature since their freshman years on and off the field,” Larsen said.

WSU’s mission
O
ver the last several years, Washington State University has been expanding its reach. The university now has campuses throughout the state, including Spokane, the Tri-Cities, Vancouver and Everett, as well as an online “campus” available worldwide. Why the expansion? WSU says serving people across the state is part of its mission. Its website includes the statement: “WSU fulfills its mission as Washington’s land-grant research university by reaching out. It delivers knowledge and the benefits of research activities to people throughout the state.” WSU is a land-grant college designated by the state Legislature to receive the benefits of the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890. The federal Morrill Act was intended to provide a broad segment of the population with a practical education that had direct relevance to their daily lives. The first law provided grants in the form of federal lands to each state to sell to be used for the establishment of a public institution to fulfill the act’s provisions — to establish a place for agricultural and mechanical education and military skills. While different forms of funding and their application has changed over time — so have the needs of the public that the university serves. WSU has embraced those changes with a model that does not restrict itself to a place or set of topics.
Begun in the 1860s, ‘land grant’ schools were to provide a ‘practical education’
While Bellevue College administrators say the arrangement is not quite ironed-out, it only makes sense that the two colleges work together even more than they do now. Such an arrangement should offer even more opportunities for students — no matter where they live. And what of the cost? What about enrollment levels or tuition issues? All yet to be determined. Bellevue College has provided many opportunities to those who needed new or basic skills, as well as a college degree or trade. Let’s hope it will remain as accessible as it is now.

My recent experiences with PSE have led me to doubt the company’s commitment to its customers. We have accepted construction of new substations and enormous power poles in my neighborhood that have not delivered on the promise of a reduction in power outages. When we do experience a problem, PSE’s automated phone system has eliminated our ability to get hold of a live representative. This winter one of our power outages lasted 47 hours. During an outage — always an isolating experience a landline is my only form of communication. I called PSE and received automated status reports which did not mention my neighborhood. I tried several times to reach a live person but the menu options informed me I should call back during normal business hours. When I finally spoke to a representative on Monday morning I was informed that the system was showing power to my neighborhood had already been restored, even though I insisted homes were dark all along the street. PSE is not a public utility; it is responsible for returning profit to its shareholders. I am concerned about accepting solutions that, while profitable for a distant shareholder, are not in our best interests.

Local taxable retail sales up Good news for Washington State. Taxable retail sales state-wide grew more than 7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014, over the fourth quarter of 2103. Taxable retail transactions (that exclude non-taxable retail items such as food and prescription drugs) between Oct. 1, and Dec. 31, 2014, was $33.4 billion. In Issaquah, taxable retail sales totaled $365 million during the fourth quarter of 2014. That amount is up 7.3 percent over the fourth quarter of 2013. In Sammamish, fourth quarter taxable retail sales jumped to $116 million or 9.4 percent over the same quarter a year ago. In Bellevue, taxable
retail sales in the fourth quarter of 2014 were $1.698 billion, up 9.4 percent from the same quarter a year earlier. For 2014 in total, taxable retail sales in Bellevue in 2014, reached $6 billion — up 11 percent from 2013. The figures are from a quarterly report prepared by the Washington State Department of Revenue. The Quarterly Business Review details the fourth quarter 2014 taxable sales by industry, as collected from tax returns. The report compares the fourth quarter of 2014 to 2013, equalizing any seasonal effects that would influence spending decisions. Changes seen in consumer spending patterns during the year included:

need for the project, making additional studies unnecessary. Energize Eastside — a project to build a new electric substation and higher capacity transmission lines — is driven by local growth. The existing electric system serving the Eastside area had its last major upgrade 50 years ago. Since that time, Eastside population has grown almost eight times, and that growth is expected to continue. Between 2010 and 2040, the Puget Sound Regional Council predicts Eastside employment to grow 73 percent and population to grow by more than a third. This drastic growth requires a robust electric system that can support it.
•E-commerce and mail order sales rose 18.9 percent •New and used car sales increased 9.4 percent •Building materials and related equipment was up 9.2 percent •Department store sales dropped by 0.6 percent A taxable retail sale equals the retail sale activity less deductions or exemptions and is the amount subject to retail sales tax. A substantial portion of retail sales are not subject to retail sales tax. Examples include food, motor vehicle fuel, prescription drugs, certain medical goods, interstate sales, and sales of goods to the federal government. Statewide, taxable sales may understate the true level of retail activity.
The most recent independent study was commissioned and funded by the City of Bellevue. Just like similar studies before it, the independent study concluded that there is a local need for the Energize Eastside project. In addition, the study included thorough analysis of various generation levels and connections with other regional utilities, and the results did not change. We understand the Energize Eastside project will bring change to the community — unwanted change, for some. But these studies, conducted by reputable electric system planning experts according to strict federal reliability requirements, point to a problem that we as a community need to solve.

The school year is coming to a close. And that means your children are one year closer to heading off to college. To help prepare for that day, you may want to invest in a college-savings vehicle, such as a 529 plan — and if you do, you’ll need to monitor your plan over the years, and make changes as needed. A change in tax law now allows you to make two changes per year to your 529 plan, up from one. JOE BILSBOROUGH And you may need to adjust your holdings as your children near college. FINANCIAL ADVISOR Specifically, you may want to move some of your investment dollars to more conservative allocations. By doing so, you’ll cut back on your growth potential, but you’ll also lessen the risk of taking a big hit if you have to start taking withdrawals during a “down” market. As you save for your children’s college education, you may find a 529 plan to be a great help. Just keep a close watch on your plan’s investments as the years go by.

By Megan Campbell
t’s the fifth century in Ireland. That’s as specific as the timing gets, because that’s how legends work. St. Brigit, having earned a place in the Catholic church after being born a slave, was popular among the poor and known for her compassion toward women. She did annoy St. Patrick, though. Her complaints about women forced to wait around for proposals that might never come irked him to such an extent he declared that every four years, on leap day, a woman could propose to a man. Now it’s Feb. 29, 2004 in Los Angeles, the night of the Academy Awards. Screenwriter Stephen Susco had just returned from Tokyo after wrapping up production drafts for the 2004 horror film The Grudge. He began researching “The Ladies’ Privilege” for another project and, offhand, shared the legend with his girlfriend Bridget Foley, a recent graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.

The KPC will screen 18 films, beginning with Good Ol’ Boy on June 1. We at The Eastside Scene personally recommend 3 ½ Minutes, 10 Bullets, a riveting documentary about the fatal shooting of Jacksonville, Florida teen Jordan Davis over the volume of a car stereo and shooter Michael Dunn’s subsequent court proceedings, dubbed the “loud music trial” in the media.

After canceling a performance in Bellevue earlier this year, Norm Macdonald — former SNL Weekend Update anchor, actor and stand-up — is back to make good. One only need look at the 2008 Roast of Bob Saget to appreciate Macdonald’s comic genius. Asked by a producer to make his work “edgier,” Norm decided to swing in the opposite direction, pulling out a sweater jacket, pipe and evening newspaper for an evening of corny dad jokes — allegedly written by his own father.

Happy endings Continued from cover page Later, they waited for the Oscars to start. The ceremony is a huge deal for them — they even refer to it as the “Hollywood Super Bowl.” They passed the time with chardonnay and Indian food. Then they wrestled. In a flash, Foley pinned Susco to the floor. She looked down at him, into his eyes, and the playful moment turned suddenly very serious. “You should really marry me, you know.” They took their vows in the fall of 2005. The couple now lives in Bellevue, raising their family, a son, 7, and a daughter, 1 ½. The couple shares a family, but they also share a passion for the written word. Susco continues to write for films, while Foley debuted her first novel, Hugo & Rose, under St. Martin’s Press in May. Susco’s latest film, Beyond the Reach starring four-time Golden Globe winner Michael Douglas, released in select theaters and video on demand in April. Based of the 1972 novel Deathwatch by Robb White, the cat-and-mouse thriller follows a corporate shark, played by Douglas, on a hunting trip gone wrong. This is the seventh film Susco’s name has appeared on, though he’s written upwards of 90. He’s probably best known for The Grudge, which grossed nearly $40 million on its opening weekend. “It’s more like a craft than an art,” he said
of scriptwriting. The pair described the difficult and sometimes brutal process of turning in a script and watching it morph into a film. “There are a lot of differences between script and screen,” Susco said. “But it’s OK.” It’s the way this business works. After 20 years in screenwriting, Susco said he’s made his peace with it. “I never wanted to fall out of love with movie making,” he said. “If I have (a story) I really care about, I need to write a book, because it will always be what I thought it would be.” Producers must account for real-world conditions, like weather, and budgetary constraints like the costs associated working with wild animals. They will make changes in order to adapt the imagined world to reality. Foley’s taken her own shot at screenwriting, but said the loss of creative ownership turned her off to the idea of a career in film. So in 2010, when she woke from a dream that would eventually inspire the story for Hugo & Rose, she realized her idea could only exist as a book. “I can do anything I want in a book,” she said. “I have all the money I need in my head.” The novel follows Rose, an unsatisfied housewife with a seemingly perfect life. But every night she dreams of Hugo, who is not her husband. Rose and Hugo have grown up, lived and adventured through a magical dream world.
But life goes awry when Rose meets the man of her dreams in reality. Foley plans to dress like a homemaker, yoga pants and all, for her book-signing at The Elliott Bay Book Company bookstore on Capitol Hill at 7 p.m. June 1. The creative couple has happily enjoyed life on the Eastside for nearly a year. Susco, now 42, and Foley, now 37, realized it was time to move out of Hollywood when their then-3-year-old son, Harpar, was reading billboards sporting pornography advertisements. “LA is a very difficult place to be a parent in,” Foley said. They moved to Susco’s home state, Pennsylvania, where they spent a few years on a horse farm. Susco quickly found himself
missing family time, as work required he regularly fly out to LA. Last year, in a 48-hour consideration of the Pacific Northwest, Susco took a car, found a house to rent and fell in love with Washington. He had never visited before that, but knew this was the next place they’d call home. “It was so gorgeous,” he said. “(Plus) I could have breakfast with the kids in the morning, fly out to LA (for work) and be back by midnight.” They’re still not sure what the future holds. If a current project pans out for Susco, the family might end up in Europe for a while. For now, they’ll continue life in the Evergreen State.

Cabaret
E
By Daniel Nash
ven approaching middle age, Cabaret remains one of the stage’s most fascinating morality plays about the power of apathy to beget evil. Yet something’s amiss in Village Theatre’s production (playing in Issaquah through July 3): The Nazis rising to power outside the walls of the Kit Kat Klub are relegated to the role of special guest stars. Sure, every 20 minutes or so our hero Cliff Bradshaw (Brian Earp) will casually mention he’s reading Mein Kampf to understand local politics, or the Klub’s Emcee (Jason Collins) and ensemble singers will rip off a flamboyant costume to reveal a swastika. But, instead of adding up in a slow and menacing arithmetic, these moments feel somehow tacked on and the story’s tragedy ultimately seems like the doing of a devil in the machine. Otherwise, this is undeniably a wellcrafted show, high in energy and crackling with strong performances on the most beautifully crafted set of the season. Billie Wildrick walks the fine line separating Sally Bowles’ manic charm and grating selfishness with grace; her singing voice is a small miracle that doesn’t really produce loaves and fishes until her climactic titular solo. Anne Allgood is another standout as Fraulein Schneider, lending her a dignity as proud as it is comically tenuous, particularly in her bickerings with her mischievous tenant/working girl Fraulein

Kost (Nicole Beerman). Cabaret easily takes home the award for visuals. If No Way To Treat a Lady’s set design was notable for clean, cartoonish minimalism, Cabaret’s is a maximalist, textured (and literally textual) feast of stuff. The Kit Kat Klub is a womb of light and motion crowded on all sides by the scraps, swastikas, posters, propaganda and news clippings of the Nazi era in Germany. This theme creeps into scene changes: Bradshaw’s apartment wall is a page from the show’s original source novel Goodbye to Berlin. The obsession with paper ephemera works powerfully as a visual metaphor for black-and-white reality creeping in on the characters’ delusions. In the end, this show may be too reliant on its visuals to reinforce the rise of the Third Reich. It takes chutzpah for sure: Most stories suffer for holding the audience’s hand too tightly. But Village was too quick to let go and, in doing so, lost track of one of Cabaret’s most important themes.
How sweet it is!

he Pacific Northwest sparkling wine scene is in a dynamic state right now, and it’s only going to get better and more interesting in the years go come. At Michelle Sparkling Wines (formerly Domaine Ste. Michelle), longtime bubble master Rick Casqueiro retired this spring and was succeeded by Paula Eakin, who has worked for the company for more than 20 years. On the south shore of Lake Chelan, Karma Vineyards’ focus on sparkling wine is paying off, as it is crafting some of the best anywhere. And we should expect a veritable explosion of sparkling wine in the Willamette Valley in the next few years, as Andrew Davis (formerly of Argyle Winery) has launched Radiant Sparkling Wine Co. Davis is helping several wineries make small lots of sparkling wine (minimum of 300 cases) by providing the expertise and equipment to riddle, disgorge, cork and label. We recently conducted a comprehensive blind judging of Northwest sparkling wines the summer issue of Wine Press Northwest magazine. Below are some of the finest we tasted. For the complete list, go to www. winepressnw.com. Karma Vineyards 2011 Brut, Columbia Valley, $50: Cornell-trained winemaker Craig Mitrakul is crafting some of the Northwest’s most delicious sparkling wines along the south shore of Lake Chelan. This bright, dry bubbly opens with aromas of white flowers, mango and brioche, followed by flavors of lemon yogurt, cream and pineapple. The silky mouth feel is
backed with refreshing acidity that takes us on a long, endearing finish. (12.5% alc.) Michelle Sparkling Wine NV Brut Rosé, Columbia Valley, $14: Year in and year out, this is Michelle’s best sparkling wine, and this iteration once again rises to the top. It’s made from 100 percent Pinot Noir — a rarity in Washington’s arid Columbia Valley — and it is luscious, thanks to aromas of cranberry, strawberry, cherry and purple lavender, followed by lovely, elegant flavors of apple, melon, apricot and raspberry. A delicate mousse is backed with gorgeous acidity. (11.5% alc.) Castillo de Feliciana Vineyard & Winery 2013 Brillánte, Columbia Valley, $30: Castillo de Feliciana, based in the southern Walla Walla Valley with a tasting room in Woodinville, tends to focus on Spanish red varieties. This is a new effort by winemaker Chris Castillo, and it is made from Pinot Blanc. Aromas of apple, vanilla cream and minerality lead to rich, frothy flavors of apple, pear and apricot. It’s a bright, dry, elegant and gorgeous bubbly from first sip through the lengthy finish. (11.5% alc.) Westport Winery 2011 Going Coastal, Washington, $31: Dana Roberts crafts his wine just a few miles from the central Washington coast in Grays Harbor County, and he nailed this gorgeous sparkling Gewürztraminer. It opens with classic aromas of clove, spice, lychee and pink grapefruit, backed by flavors of peach, pear, ginger, tangelo and lemon zest. All the bright acidity is expertly tempered by a kiss of residual sweetness. (11% alc.)

Steve Jobs: Man in the Machine
Since the Apple co-founder’s death, many writers and filmmakers have vied to present the ultimate warts-andall portrait of Steve Jobs. But Alex Gibney’s takedown forgets the “all” altogether. The problem is this: People already know Jobs was an asshole. This documentary adds nothing new to that discussion while omitting any and all redeeming information. At more than two hours, with little sense of chronological or thematic structure, this movie is less exhaustive than exhausting.
Joshua Oppenheimer’s 2012 documentary The Act of Killing quietly distinguished itself to this reviewer as thoughtful, unflinching about its subject matter (it followed the contemporary lives of perpetrators of the 1965-66 Indonesian genocide against alleged communists) and unusually cinematic. It asked important questions about human morality and the banality of evil. For Western audiences, the alienness of Indonesian culture translated into an overwhelming sense of unreality. One could be forgiven for assuming Oppenheimer’s new companion film, The Look of Silence, merely flips the switch by following the surviving family of a man killed in the genocide. But Oppenheimer searches for new ground in his methodology. The Look of Silence leans into a singular storytelling style — the people, places and events are real, but it seems like we’re watching a fictional story. The result is a story that carries less density than its predecessor, yet also lacks its emotional resonance, its sense of personal journey and its ultimate catharsis.

Soft-spoken and slow, this Basque drama by Jon Garano and Jose Mari Goenaga nevertheless carries a powerful message that will linger long after the credits. By telling the story of two characters who leave each other flowers anonymously — for different reasons — it examines the meaning people assign to simple gestures. Consequently, the story refuses to dive right into emotional motivations and instead allows the audience to ebb and bob in the ripples.
Spy
SIFF’s opening night gala film, the Paul Feig-directed Melissa McCarthy vehicle Spy, is only masquerading as a mainstream comedy. There’s a lot of heart and brains wedged between the slapstick and fart jokes. McCarthy is endlessly charming as an overly self-deprecating and put-upon analyst turned field agent. Fans of espionage and action films will appreciate this flick’s take on genre
Guidance
With the opening premise of School of Rock and the emotional stakes of a drama like Flight, Pat Mills’ darkly comedic Guidance is a bullseye. This film — about a selfdestructive former child star who fakes his way into a job as a guidance counselor — eschews easy and tired lessons about the healing power of youth (see: School of Rock, Bad Teacher, Bad News Bears, etc.) for a roughshod, skidding crash into self-acceptance.

Conversations with Funny People (SIFF Edition)
Beautiful self destruction O
nce upon a time, Pat Mills was a child actor on the Canadian sketch series You Can’t Do That on Television. Then he quit acting — for 20 years. Now he’s written, directed and starred in his debut feature Guidance, about a closeted, alcoholic and manic former child star who decides, golly, he just has so much to teach today’s children. Mills took time out from SIFF to answer our questions. Interview by Daniel Nash
First off, I just watched this film last night and I have to say that Guidance is probably my favorite movie to come out of the festival so far. Thank you, that’s so nice to hear. In it, you play a former child star who’s become an absolute mess as an adult and decides he’s going to fake his way into a job as a guidance counselor. How did you develop this idea? I came up with the character first and the idea came out of that. What I kind of did was I was writing another teen movie that focused on the younger characters and I found myself wanting to give these teenagers advice from a writer’s perspective. Over time that desire morphed into a character all his own, David. I’ve always been inspired by dark comedies with crazy behavior. It kind of evolved from my idea of this person and how he would act in this high school environment.

I think what struck me the most about your film is that it shares an opening premise with School of Rock — so it’s this undeniable comedy on one side of things — but it has the emotional stakes of a serious drama like Flight. I found myself genuinely cringing at a lot of the choices made by your character David, like taking shots with students in his office. Basically, I made this out of the Canadian funding system, the Canadian Feature Film Fund. And my thought was, as a Canadian film it’s going to be looked at as an alternative film anyway, so why not go for it? I wanted something comedic but also something Hollywood wouldn’t do. It can’t have the budget of School of Rock, so it was unnecessary to try to make it a big mainstream comedy. It still has these big comedic moments but it’s also able to go to these darker places that a mainstream comedy can’t. The film that inspired it the most is Young Adult, where Charlize Theron plays another faded star who has all these problems.
10 the eastside scene
You wrote and directed Guidance, but I understand you hadn’t originally planned to star in the movie as David. How did that come about? That basically happened because we couldn’t find the lead. For whatever reason, things weren’t clicking in casting. So when we were auditioning some of the younger
cast, I would go up with the actors and stand in to read the lines to them. That seemed to work, so then the producers decided I had to audition to play David. That was awkward, writing a character for a film you’re going to direct and then auditioning for the part for your producers. It’s a lot like your parents watching you masturbate. Like David, you were a child performer yourself, on the kids show You Can’t Do That on Television. How closely do you relate to him and his coping mechanisms? The child star thing not so much but I do feel like I’m a bit stuck in high school, emotionally. As a result I think I’m really sensitive to the needs of teenagers and when I’ve worked with teenagers we really seem to connect. So if you’re able to connect with the emotional state of teens as an adult, that starts to make you feel like, “Is there something wrong with me?” That’s an issue that David has. I don’t think that makes me a total trainwreck like he is, but he’s an exaggerated version of a person that has problems that I can identify with. I heard that you had to pay a hefty fine to the Canadian actors’ union to perform in your own movie. That’s true. It was a big pain in the ass because we did the movie in the union before we knew I’d play David. I stopped acting in the early ‘90s and stopped paying dues. I was kicked out of ACTRA so to go ahead with the movie I had to pay dues from 1994 to 2013, which came out to something like $3,000. And when you’re doing an independent film you don’t have a lot of money, so that’s a lot to have to pay. And that was sort of heartbreaking. But in the end it was worth it, because now that I’m back in the union. What’s next for the movie? It will be playing some festivals, probably some gay and lesbian festivals over here, then it’s going to South Korea to screen in a youth film festival. It’s just been great to receive the attention we’ve had so far because with your first film you don’t expect to be exposed. Because it’s still an underdog little movie, it’s been really wonderful.
