Asked Tuesday morning in downtown Missoula
Q:
This week former Indy arts editor Zach Dundas discusses the wild and often hilarious world of alternative sports. What’s your non-mainstream sport of choice? Follow-up: Tell us your worst mishap or wipeout while engaging in the sporting life.
Katt Ahlstrom: Kickball. I played on the Poon Tang Clan last year. But did you score? In high school I was a forward in soccer and was making a shot and put my foot through the goalie’s face. I cried more than she did.
Meryl Storb: Mountaineering. I spent the last six months hiking around South America. High side: Being dump-trucked on Lochsa Falls and losing the raft.
Michael Gill: Kickball. I played on the Kappa Mafia team last year. Spruced up and branching out: I got stuck hanging upside down 25 feet up a tree while snowboarding at Big Mountain. I was doing a trick.
In 2008, the Forest Service permitted a 30-person, 34-mile Swan Crest Run without the prior benefit of public comment or an Environmental Assessment (see “etc.,” June 3, 2010). The Forest Service is now considering an application for a two-day, 50-person, 100-Mile Run. Runs elsewhere have grown to over 1,000. Parts of Jewel Basin indeed already receive “20 or greater parties per week” levels the Flathead Forest Plan says compromises the ability of bears to utilize their limited habitat. Hiking clubs and other groups can minimize their impact by traveling together as a single party. An organized run of 50 people spread out over 36 hours and 100 miles adds a lot of cumulative impact to the Swan Crest, in addition to already existing uses. If approved, a commercial permit will also set a precedent for others wanting permits for bigger runs, mountain bike rides, motorcycle rides and heli-skiing. The Swan Crest need not become one more mountain range overrun with people and extreme sports. Commercializing the Swan Crest will kill the goose that laid the golden egg. The reasons the Swan Crest attracts people are the very same reasons the Forest Service should prepare an Environmental Assessment before deciding whether to allow commercial uses there. Swan View Coalition spent years securing a volunteer agreement to establish a quarter-mile nature trail on the Flathead National Forest. The public comment process helped us move the trail to a less pristine area with lower environmental impacts. A sincere public involvement process by the Forest Service could bring about a similar relocation of group runs to less sensitive areas; ones that could use the publicity and trail restoration work.

Tester’s transparency
Colin McLean: Beer Darts. You set up three beers in a triangle and put a ring around it. If you get a dart in the ring it’s one point; get a dart in a beer and it’s three points. The loser has to shotgun a beer. Sore bum: While snowboarding I hit my ass on a log so hard I couldn’t walk for days. It was a bummer.

Last Thursday, members of the Last Best Place Wildlands Campaign called on Sen. Jon Tester to make public a new draft revision of the Forest Jobs and Recreation Act (FJRA), which was put together by the U.S. Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee and given to Sen. Tester last month. Since the committee’s draft includes significant new language, we believe it’s in the best interest of all Montanans for Sen. Tester to make the draft available for public review and input. This step will
ensure transparency and give all members of the public an equal opportunity to review the new draft. Unfortunately, as I write, Sen. Tester has refused to share the new draft with the general public or the Montana media. Instead, Sen. Tester’s office has opted to only share the draft with the timber industry and political insiders. Perhaps Sen. Tester’s refusal to be open and transparent with this new draft has something to do with its contents. For example, the committee’s new draft drops the unsustainable mandated logging on the Beaverhead-Deerlodge and Kootenai National Forests and drops Sen. Tester’s arbitrary 12-month timeline for environmental analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The committee’s new draft also adds language requiring that any project must
Driving while

”
maintain old growth forests and retain large trees, while focus hazardous fuel reduction efforts on small diameter trees. Dropped in the draft are also several of the controversial anti-wilderness provisions, including Sen. Tester’s proposal to allow ATV herding of livestock in wilderness, as well as wilderness landings for military helicopters. Recent articles make it clear that Sen. Tester and the timber industry won’t support any bill that drops mandated logging and NEPA timelines. However, what about the Montana Wilderness Association, Montana Trout Unlimited and the National Wildlife Federation—the groups that have been the loudest supporters of the original bill? Are these groups seriously not going to support the committee’s draft revision, which by any objective measure should be viewed as a positive step in the right direction? If you’d like to get some answers, and if you think you have a right to a stake in the future of public lands man-
agement in Montana, please contact Sen. Tester’s office directly. Demand that Sen. Tester share a copy of all drafts of his FJRA, so all members of the public can review it and provide input. Anything less just won’t provide transparency and serve the public process, nor would it bode well for the future of public lands management. Matthew Koehler Last Best Place Wildlands Campaign Missoula
Weighing in I’d like to weigh in on a substance abuse issue that gets little attention. When life is threatened, children’s health risked, and everyone endangered, it’s time to criminalize the offending substance. Recent studies demonstrate that women pass the condition to their fetuses, then continue feeding addiction to their growing children. These parents should be sent to rehab and their kids removed until they get clean. America is addicted to junk food. Obesity is epidemic. Our Christian nation needs to crack down on the deadly sin of gluttony. Fast food joints lurk on every street corner fueling this wicked habit. From McDonalds to mini-marts there’s no escaping the pushers. Ubiquitous billboards entice our kids with detailed depictions of doughnuts, pizza and other fiendish temptations. Victims so immense they’re forced to drive gargantuan gas guzzlers easily get a fix without leaving the comfort of their bucket seat. Clutching Big Macs in swollen fingers, Big Gulps shoved between pudgy knees, cigarettes dangling from puffy lips, cell phones propped under multiple chins, all hyped up on a sugar high, they hit the roads. Driving while fat (DWF) is a hazard that could kill anyone at any time when massive heart failure strikes at 85 mph on the freeway. As Arizona profiles people for looking suspiciously un-American, these lessthan-anonymous overeaters can be easily apprehended. Fat chance of that because, unlike drunks and druggies, food junkies can’t run (very fast) and they can’t hide behind a badge, in a suit or under a robe. Although the preceding is hyperbole, it’s no more absurd than the current medical marijuana debate. A better case can be made against fat than pot, proving fatheads shouldn’t judge potheads.

News Quirks by Cathrine L. Walters
Daniel A. Nielsen, 22, allegedly strangles and smashes a wine bottle over the head of transient Corey Gere at the Citi Lodge Motel on West Broadway. Court records state Nielson had been drinking and smoking marijuana. He’s charged with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon, both felonies.
• Thursday, June 3 A couple dozen cyclists ride through Missoula pulling stand-ins for Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) Director Jim Lynch and the head of ExxonMobil Canada as part of a demonstration against the proposed Kearl Module Transportation Project. The protesters stage a mock trial in front of MDT’s office accusing Lynch of being in bed with ExxonMobil.
• Friday, June 4 In Times Square, “American Idol’s” Kara DioGuardi selects University of Montana student and Flathead High graduate Ethan Thompson’s catchy ditty as the winner of Folger’s “Best Part of Waking Up” jingle contest. The win nets Thompson and his band $25,000, as well as the opportunity to hear their song in a commercial.
• Saturday, June 5 Hundreds of area high school graduates don caps and gowns as members of Missoula’s class of 2010 receive their diplomas. It could be a tough haul from here, though, as Missoula County’s unemployment is currently 7.7 percent, higher than any other time since 1992.
• Sunday, June 6 The Missoula Mavericks’ winning streak reaches 23 games after the team takes a double header against the Bitterroot Red Sox at Lindborg-Cregg Field. The Mavs improve to 31-1 on the season, and kicks off conference season play this week.
• Monday, June 7 After hearing from several bicycle advocates, as well as from homeowners concerned about losing neighborhood parking spaces, the Missoula City Council votes 7-5 in favor of painting bike lanes on Brooks Street between Higgins and Mount avenues.
• Tuesday, June 8 Residents head to the polls to vote in Montana’s primary election. One voter is delayed trying to get to the Meadow Hill precinct when a dozen students sprint across the street in pursuit of a giant balloon that had flown off school grounds. Undeterred, the voter casts his ballot, collects his “I Voted” sticker and wonders just a little about teacher supervision at the school.
Bonnie Wallace from Phoenix, Ariz., trims stray straw with a weed whacker during a hands-on workshop on straw bale house construction in Missoula on June 2. In an effort to increase awareness of the craft, homeowners Claire Steinberg and Ben Tuholske organized the seven-day workshop, attracting 25 participants from as far away as New Zealand and France.
Hunters I-161 in the crosshairs Kurt Kephart says during his 36 years tracking big game in Montana, accessibility to prime hunting grounds has significantly dwindled. “It’s just a totally different attitude from what it was 35 years or so ago,” he says. The problem became more acute in 1995, Kephart claims, when the Montana Legislature passed a law securing licenses for outfitters, who then often supply them to well-heeled clients. More than that, Kephart says outfitters lease prime hunting grounds from private landowners, making it even tougher for the average person to compete for access. That’s why the Billings contractor, through his advocacy group Montana Public Wildlife, is gathering signatures ahead of a June 18 deadline to place Initiative 161 on November’s ballot. The measure would abolish outfitter-sponsored nonresident licenses and nix the requirement that licensed outfitters supervise hunts conducted by out-of-state clients. It would also
increase the cost of a nonresident big game license 43 percent and a combination deer license by 61 percent. None of that, of course, sits well with outfitters. They say raising fees will spook out-of-state hunters and, in turn, decimate Montana’s outfitting industry, which generates $167 million in economic activity annually. “Why do you want to destabilize that?” asks Mac Minard, executive director of the Montana Outfitters and Guides Association. Kephart maintains higher fees will benefit Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks’ Block Management Program, which leases private land and makes it available to the hunting public. But Minard says upping license costs will decrease demand and, in turn, strain the Block Program. “That would be catastrophic,” Minard says. “From our point of view, the issue is about preserving the hunting heritage of the state of Montana.” Critics of I-161 allege Montana Public Wildlife signature gatherers are breaking the rules. In fact, the Montana Secretary of State’s Office has received 16 formal complaint forms alleging election law

Legislature Big rigs spark MEPA bill The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) has yet to green-light Imperial Oil’s plan to lug massive oil sands modules through the state. But if it does, Missoula Rep. Carol Williams is gearing up to ensure that the next procession of “big rigs” won’t be waved through so easily. Williams is currently working on draft legislation aimed at revising the Montana Environmental Policy Act (MEPA), the state’s bedrock environmental law. “The two things I’m looking at,” she says, “are extending that comment period so it gives people more time to get their thoughts into the department, and then also to say you have to

have an EIS [environmental impact statement] to do anything this extensive.” The EIS requirement and a longer public comment period were MEPA requirements, Williams explains, until they were stripped during the 2001 and 2003 legislative sessions. “During the Martz administration everybody was running around trying to see how we could make it easier on business to do business,” she says. Earlier in the year Imperial Oil, an ExxonMobil subsidiary, asked MDT to approve a permit that would allow the company to transport more than 200 oil processing modules—weighing some 170 tons and measuring 24 feet wide, 30 feet high and up to 210 feet long—over Lolo Pass and through Missoula en route to the Port of Sweetgrass. The 300-mile Montana leg would constitute just one segment of the equipment’s journey from South Korea to the Kearl Oil Sands project in Alberta. Accommodating the rigs requires about $22 million worth of highway modifications. The project, according to Williams and many of its opponents, ought to be subject to more thorough environmental scrutiny. “They shouldn’t have been taken out in the first place,” Williams says of MEPA’s original EIS and public comment requirements. “We had the best environmental protection laws in the country at the time, and now we don’t. At least we’re not as bad as Idaho…but I don’t think that’s particularly something to brag about.” Matthew Frank
City Council Police to cover more turf The Missoula City Council Monday night approved an ordinance that will extend police authority to five miles outside city limits. The measure’s passage, by an 8-4 vote, comes after months of wrangling between Missoula Police Chief Mark Muir and members of the City Council who worried the ordinance would divert resources from Missoula’s urban core to diffuse county areas. “I feel pretty strongly that we don’t want to start providing city police services in the county,” Councilman Bob Jaffe said during Monday night’s council meeting. Despite such concerns, Muir pushed for the measure, maintaining that his department is challenged by blurry jurisdictional boundaries. His officers now travel through pockets of county land— overseen by the Missoula County Sheriff ’s Department—to arrive at annexed city territory. That, Muir argued, leaves law enforcement vulnera-

ble to civil litigation. He proposed the ordinance in April to help municipal law enforcement do its job more efficiently. But with a tight budget already cutting police patrols, Jaffe wasn’t the only councilperson who voiced concern that Missoula’s police force is stretched thin enough already. Councilman Roy Houseman explained his “no” vote by sharing conversations held with local business owners who said police already take too long to arrive at calls in downtown Missoula. “That’s why I can’t support this,” Houseman said. Some residents at the meeting expressed the same sentiment. Tina Sunderland told the council she rarely sees criminal activity at home in East
Missoula, but when she comes to work in Missoula, she regularly spots people drinking, doing drugs and engaging in sexual activity in the parking lot outside of her downtown workplace. “We call 911 and don’t get a quick response,” she said. Jaffe proposed a workaround that would have expanded the authority to arrest 250 feet outside city limits, while allowing Missoula police officers to track down individuals suspected of committing crimes within the city up to five miles outside municipal boundaries. Jaffe also suggested providing authority to respond in emergencies and to offenses personally observed while en route to annexed city areas. That didn’t fly with Muir or a majority of the council. Police will assume expanded authority beginning July 7. Jessica Mayrer

BY THE NUMBERS
Cobell Settlement setbacks Browning resident and Blackfeet member Elouise Cobell is now well into her 15th year battling the federal government over money owed to individual American Indians, and what hope she had of an end is fading as critics continue to pick apart the multi-billion dollar settlement she landed late last year. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., cast a wide net over tribal governments across the nation in April, hoping to rally critics of the contentious Cobell v. Salazar settlement. His letter to tribal leaders outlined major changes to the historic legal agreement, and so far he’s gained several significant supporters in Indian Country. The Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians last month submitted a letter to Barrasso agreeing with his proposed amendments. Then, on May 26, the Great Plains Tribal Chairman’s Association (GPTCA) drafted a resolution to the same effect during a conference in South Dakota. The documents underscore the increasingly complex views of the settlement among American Indians. “We did not oppose or support the settlement,” A. Gay Kingman, executive director of the GPTCA, says of the group’s resolution. “What we did is try to get more funds in the hands of the landowners. We feel this is our responsibility, to try to get the landowners as much as we can for the wrongs that were done to them.” Barrasso’s amendments include revisions to how portions of the $3.4 billion settlement will be handled, including the $1.4 billion in reimbursements for Individual Indian Money accounts mismanaged by the Department of the Interior. Specifically, he proposes setting aside $50 million as a reserve for any individual payments deemed insufficient and capping attorney fee claims for plaintiffs at $50 million. The letters of support for Barrasso’s changes shattered earlier sentiments that the settlement was the greatest political victory ever for American Indians, adding to a series of shakeups that have caused the case to drag on into 2010. The most notable hitch—beyond Barrasso’s criticisms—has been the U.S. Senate’s continued inability to pass the agreement. Five congressional deadlines have come and gone since the settlement was reached in December, and the Senate now has until June 15 to cast a final vote. If not, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs, Dennis Gingold, has said his clients will likely renew litigation. Alex Sakariassen

Sen. Greg Hinkle, R-Thompson Falls, appointed himself leader of the opposition to physician-assisted suicide earlier this spring by declaring his intent to draft a legislative ban of the contested practice. But for someone charged with heading one side of this important debate, he commands an embarrassingly limited understanding of the issue at hand. Legislators on both sides are eager to clarify the Montana Supreme Court’s December ruling that gave physicians a legal defense in prescribing life-ending medication to terminally ill, mentally competent patients. Proponents point to legislation already on the books in Oregon and Washington that provides strict criteria for the practice—psychiatric evaluations, written consent observed by an impartial witness, etc.—as a good starting point for building on the court’s decision. Hinkle’s talking points are, shall we say, less researched. He’s claimed for weeks that physician-assisted suicide will wrongfully endanger patients who might actually survive their illness. Even patients with stable HIV and years to live could receive a prescription, he says, and he’s gone on record stating that once medication is prescribed, a patient’s life is out of his or her hands. Death is under the control, he says, of a doctor or family member. Hinkle couldn’t be more wrong. Physician-assisted suicide is a voluntary alternative for those suffering extreme pain or indignity at the end of life. In 2009, doctors in Oregon prescribed life-ending medication to 95 patients, only 53 of whom elected to take it. The majority of those were already in hospice care. When we spoke with Hinkle, he repeatedly referred to the medication as if it were administered intravenously. Wrong again. The most common form is an oral dose of a barbiturate—or depressant. As a key voice in this debate, he should know that. Hinkle says his main reason for drafting the Montana Patient Protection Act is to stop greedy heirs seeking family inheritance from coercing their elders into requesting lifeending medication. But the argument seems to be more a smokescreen for ideological unease than informed opinion. (And, some believe, simply a front for the conservative Montana Family Foundation’s interests.) If Hinkle bothered to read Washington or Oregon’s laws—which he admits he hasn’t—he might find his concerns for the elderly adequately addressed. Given Hinkle’s comments, and his serious lack of working knowledge of physician-assisted suicide, we can only hope someone will act accordingly and aid his bill in dying.

For all the sound and fury from the Tea Party, Montanans might have expected more fireworks in this week’s election. But that didn’t happen. Nor did the predicted tidal wave of disgruntled voters throw the bums out. In fact, when the dust settled and the final ballots were counted, it was pretty much the same old, same old in Montana and not much different nationally. The incumbents usually won and the preferred candidates of the Republican and Democrat parties continued to dominate the votes of their loyalists. The state’s top-tier race was supposedly a fiercely contested Democratic runoff to determine who would face incumbent Congressman Denny Rehberg. Instead, it turned into a yawner. Dennis McDonald, the hand-picked candidate of the Democratic Party machine, crushed young Tyler Gernant with almost twice as many votes. Gernant was portrayed as having this fired-up campaign of enthusiastic young supporters, but in truth barely edged out co-challenger Melinda Gopher, who had a late start and virtually non-existent campaign spending. If this primary was boring, however, the general election race between Rehberg and McDonald promises to be anything but. Look for one of the most vicious and dirty campaigns in Montana’s history as McDonald and the Democrats go after Rehberg for his lame incumbency and role in the late-night drunken boat crash on Flathead Lake last year. Rehberg and the Republicans, meanwhile, will pound McDonald for his role as a lawyer defending Mafia hit man Jimmy “The Weasel” Fratianno. “Ugly” would be the word best describing what’s headed our way from now until November in this particular match-up. A troubling indicator for Democrats is that Republicans outnumbered them in this primary race more than two-to-one, with a mere 60,000 Dems casting ballots compared to 127,000 Republicans. Rehberg alone captured more votes than all the Democrats combined and chocked up almost four times as many votes as McDonald was able to muster. If this is enthusiasm on the Democrats’ side to dump Rehberg, they’ve got a lot more work to do. If you believed the pundits, the Tea Party and the Montana Conservative Alliance (MCA) were supposed to pull the Republican candidates so far to the right edge of the road that two wheels would be in the gravel. But in most of the primary races where radical rightists took on less radical Republicans, the vot-
ers decided it was a better idea to keep their wheels on the road. A good example would be the House contest between former state Sen. John Esp and Joel Boniek in Park and Sweetgrass counties. Boniek was one of the wildest of the right-wing wild bunch in the last legislative session, but was edged out by Esp who

able to muster
told reporters that he “knew the people” in his district and they “weren’t going to be jumping on these kinds of bandwagons.” His win was echoed by similar results in which Chas Vincent of Libby, a definite right-winger, defeated Rhoda Cargill almost 4-to-1, despite her endorsement by extreme conservatives. The same thing happened in Dillon, with Jeff Wellborn defeating Ron Lake. The radical right can claim at least a few wins, however, such as MCAsupported candidate Lee Randall’s victory in southeast Montana. But overall, their efforts bore little fruit. On the national scene, the electorate’s predicted anti-incumbent mood turned into something more akin to apathy than rage. In one of the most high-profile races nationally, the expected dumping of Democrat incumbent U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas didn’t happen, despite a determined and expensive effort by organized labor unions to defeat her. Instead, Lincoln turned the tables by claiming her “vote could not be bought” and, in a classic example of a Pyrrhic victory, left liberals, the unions and their candidate Bill Halter in ashes. Adding insult to injury Lincoln declared the unions were “special interests” and claimed they wanted to “manipulate the
votes.” That former President Bill Clinton went to bat for Lincoln in an ad using the same theme of manipulation may have helped her win, but shows little regard for the Democrats’ long-time union allies and reveals a fracturing of party unity that bodes ill come November. In another high-profile race, beleaguered Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada will face a Tea Party candidate in the fall election. While this may give the Tea Party something to crow about, the general perception is that Reid hoped the Tea Party’s candidate, Sharron Angle, would win because she’d be easier to defeat in the general election due to her radical views. Speaking of radical, California turns out to be an eye-opener as this normally Democrat-leaning state tossed up two very conservative Republican women to seek two of the state’s most important seats. Former Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina dumped $5.5 million of her own money into the three-way primary campaign to win the right to challenge Sen. Barbara Boxer in November. Fiorina is hard-core anti-choice and says she’ll go after Boxer for her support of the federal bailouts and President Obama’s controversial health care overhaul. In a similar contest, former eBay CEO and billionaire Meg Whitman dropped an astounding $71 million of her own money to gain the opportunity to challenge former California governor Jerry Brown to see who will replace outgoing Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. If nothing else, it promises to be a direct clash of ideology and, from all indications, likely one of the most expensive races in the nation. While it would be risky to draw too many generalizations from the results from 12 state elections, some things seem clear. The radical conservatives hit the beach, but not as the predicted tidal wave. The Democrats, however, are far from safe. Obama’s embattled presidency has left many former supporters deenergized and skeptical. If the national results in November echo what we saw in Montana, where twice as many Republicans voted as Democrats, Obama and his party have a lot more challenging work ahead to retain their Congressional majorities.

But where will change start if not with us?

Take one plane trip a year and make it count. Or if your family is a top priority, move and live closer. Close your eyes and imagine what Philippe Cousteau saw 25 feet down: clouds of granular water the likes of which researchers say now forms massive plumes hundreds of feet deep that stretches for miles. The pungent smell of diesel fuel, gasoline and oil. His hazmat and diving suit had to be degreased; his skin needed to be carefully cleaned because the touch of that water would cause it to burn. From 12,000 to 19,000 barrels of oil or much, much more continue to pour into the ocean every day. No, says Philippe Cousteau, the ocean cannot take this. No, he says, a hurricane will not wash it all away and make it clean again. Unlike the Mancos River Valley, the Gulf has no rite of spring, no seasonal cleanup to scour the riverbanks. It’s rafting season here in the Four Corners region of the Southwest. Rafts made from petroleum products, petroleum tires under the car and gasoline to drive to the put-ins. Don’t forget the poly-pro wet suits for warmth and those large, soft inflatable pads to sleep on. It’s springtime in the Rockies, but for many creatures of the sea, it’s a dark, sad time of death.

The Mancos Valley reverberates with the gush of its namesake river in an annual rite of spring runoff. These waters are a perfect metaphor for starting a new life—allowing winter’s rigidity to melt and wash away. In this high mountain ranching valley of Colorado, the first water flows through irrigation spigots and onto hay fields. The swallows return and rebuild their mud nests under the eaves of the barn; foals hug their mothers’ sides under newly leafed cottonwoods. All is rejuvenation. Meanwhile, there is the black, slimy gush filling the Gulf of Mexico— a flood of oil so gargantuan it is difficult to wrap our minds around it until we go online or turn on the television. The video of Philippe Cousteau (grandson of Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau, who brought the oceans into our living rooms on television) diving into the sullied Gulf waters makes even the toughest among us gasp. “It’s a nightmare,” he says, as he moves through suspended particles of oil and muck, a few large fish looking eerily out of place in the background. Susan Shaw, a marine toxicologist and director of the marine Environmental Research Institute, took a dive recently as well. She described a “surreal and sickening scene” as she passed through an orange-brown pudding mix of oil and dispersants. She witnessed phytoplankton, zooplankton and shrimp enveloped in dark oil, and larger fish feeding on the poisonous oil dispersal droplets, mistaking them for food. At a time when the world is consumed with religious violence and the so-called war on terror, perhaps it’s time to ask the creatures of the sea: “Who are the terrorists?” This is not a trick question.

I N OTHER N EWS Curious but true news items from around the world
CURSES, FOILED AGAIN Authorities investigating a bank robbery in St. Cloud, Minn., nabbed their suspect after officials at Mystic Lake Casino observed him depositing cash into slot machines in exchange for credit slips. “In effect, he was laundering his money through the casino,” police Sgt. Martin Sayre said. Casino officials became suspicious because Salamo Nam Rakotojoelinandrasana, 23, was exchanging bills covered with red dye, which the bank used to mark the stolen money. When Kenneth Parkerson, 28, sneaked into the screened patio of a home in Coral Springs, Fla., carrying a video camera, he was confronted by homeowner Ireneusz Fajkis, a firefighter who also happens to be a mixed martial arts fighter. Fajkis chased the intruder, tackled him to the ground and beat him up before calling the police. “I picked the wrong house,” Parkerson reportedly told the hospital nurse who treated his wounds. WHEN CATASTROPHIC OIL SPILLS AREN’T ENOUGH A Pentagon report warned that trash in space might bring a halt to commerce and communications on Earth. Noting that space is “increasingly congested and contested,” the Defense Department’s interim U.S. Space Posture Review explained that potential crashes between satellites and debris—such as refuse from old rockets, abandoned satellites and missile shrapnel—are threatening the $250 billion space-services market that provides financial communication, global-positioning navigation, international phone connections, Google Earth pictures, television signals and weather forecasts. Scientists said that space collisions could set off an uncontrolled chain reaction that might make some orbits unusable because they are too littered with debris. GIVE AND TAKE Georgia’s Gwinnett County has asked some 180 county workers to return more than $39,000 they received in bonuses 16 years ago. Authorities blamed the overpayments on a payroll anomaly that occurred when the county adjusted employees’ payroll cycles. A Pennsylvania man who won a $2,001 slot machine jackpot at Erie’s Presque Isle Downs & Casino not only must give back the money, but also faces criminal trespass charges. The 55-year-old Waterford Township resident had previously banned himself from casinos under a state program for problem gamblers. REASONABLE EXPLANATIONS After a North Carolina jury convicted Michael Ryan of first-degree murder, he told a Gaston County judge that he wants to be sentenced to death but without actually being executed. He explained that being on death row would gain him the respect of his fellow inmates. Appearing in federal court in Billings, Mont., Dale Leroy Satran, 46, admitted illegally killing a bald eagle but said he thought it was a porcupine. After inspectors condemned a three-year-old, five-story condominium building in Norristown, Pa., because its load-bearing cinderblock walls weren’t filled with concrete and steel rods, as required by code, builder R. Bruce Fazio insisted the hollow walls came “as a surprise to me.” He blamed the masonry contractor, although he couldn’t recall the person’s name. PRACTICAL PLANE GEOMETRY Secret Service agents questioned Alabama high school geometry teacher Gregory Harrison, whose lesson in parallel lines and angles used the example of assassinating the president. Joseph Brown, a senior in the geometry class at Jefferson County’s Corner High School, said Harrison “was talking about angles and said, ‘If you’re in this building, you would need to take this angle to shoot the president.’” Special agent Roy Sexton decided the teacher’s remarks didn’t constitute a credible threat, but school Superintendent Phil Hammonds said, “We are going to have a long conversation with him about what’s appropriate.” Afterwards, Harrison publicly apologized as part of a negotiated settlement that lets him keep his job. LEMMING SEE, LEMMING DO The same day Apple toppled Microsoft as the world’s leading technology company, it announced it is investigating the apparent suicides of 11 workers at the Chinese factory that makes Apple’s iPhones. While denying that working conditions at the Foxconn Technology plant in Shenzhen prompted the deaths, Foxconn officials said they have begun putting safety nets on buildings to discourage suicide attempts by the company’s 800,000 Chinese employees. SLIGHTEST PROVOCATION State police said they arrested Anthony Dodson, 34, in Uniontown, Pa., after he threatened his girlfriend with a meat cleaver while they argued about the British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Guy Edward Jones, 60, landed in jail after he set fire to his house in Sissonville, W.Va., because, according to Kanawha County sheriff’s Lt. Sean Crosier, he was mad at his wife for not having dinner ready when he came home. A husband and wife and their three children were driving near Clarksville, Tenn., when the two adults began arguing. At one point, Montgomery County sheriff’s Deputy Blake Neblett reported, the 23-year-old man told his wife to “shut up.” When she refused, the man jumped from the moving vehicle. He was airlifted to the hospital in critical but stable condition. DRIVING WHILE DISTRACTED Ohio truck driver Thomas Wallace, 45, pleaded guilty to manslaughter after his rig rear-ended a disabled car on the New York State Thruway and killed the driver. Authorities said Wallace didn’t see the victim’s vehicle because he was watching pornography on his laptop computer. Authorities said a single-car crash in Garbutt, N.Y., that sent four teenagers to the hospital was caused by driver Bryan Parslow, 19, who fainted while he and the other three were trying to hold their breath when driving through the hamlet. Monroe County Sheriff’s investigators said that after Parslow lost consciousness, the car left the road, struck a tree and then hit a large boulder. The teens told deputies at the scene that they were all holding their breath as part of a game they had played before. SHIKSAPPEAL The Toronto police department has added a new hate-crime victim category: “non-Jewish Shiksa.” The term “Shiksa” is a slur for non-Jewish woman, making the category not only redundant, but also baffling to the Canadian Jewish Congress, which accused the Toronto Police Service of pushing the anti-hate law “to its most absurd level.” Noting that the police also investigated hate crimes against teachers, feminists, infidels, police, Nazis and pedophiles, CJC CEO Bernie Farber said, “You just can’t apply it to literally everything.”

n the introduction to his new book, Zach Dundas acknowledges that most sports fans “prefer their competitive athletes sober, aerodynamically shaved, and honed to a pitiless muscular edge. They prefer their events ‘organized.’” Not Dundas. While attending a cyclocross race—an event he describes as “a rustic form of bike racing that combines grueling obstacles, hellacious ascents and descents, a fetish for bad weather, athletic masochism, and rabid beer consumption”—Dundas had an epiphany. Fans consistently bummed out by the mega-business of professional sports deserved something more pure, less fame-obsessed and, well, more fun than what was being offered in major venues. They deserved to know about events like cyclocross. Dundas’ epiphany led to a cross-country journey into our country’s burgeoning alternative sports landscape—and to his first book, The Renegade Sportsman, which was released this month. We caught up with the former Indy arts editor and current Portland, Ore.-based freelance writer to learn more about his theory on the future of sports, how 1970s stadium rock is like professional basketball and to discuss something called “soccer.”
I
Indy: The Renegade Sportsman is based on something you’ve dubbed the “Two Futures of Sports Theory.” Please explain. Dundas: Well, as I was conceiving of the book, it struck me that we never think about sports as a cultural movement, like music or art. Because 90 percent of the attention paid to sports goes to mainstream, major league sports, we tend to view sports as this weird combination of big business and celebrity gossip. And yet sports, like music or art or literature, is a manifestation of culture before anything else. In music, even people who are just fans of mainstream pop recognize the role played by the
band that plays in the corner bar—the grassroots level of chaos that keeps the overall organism alive. So my Two Futures of Sports Theory (which has a pretentious name by design) tries to apply that thinking to sports. Obviously, the major leagues will just keep getting bigger, barring civilizationwide catastrophe. But I also think there is an opportunity for a much more cohesive, vibrant, grassroots sports underground to thrive at the same time, and that the two can feed off of each other. Indy: Each chapter delves into a different alternative sporting culture. What

criteria did you use for choosing what made the book, and what didn’t? Dundas: It was like porn—you know it when you see it. I was really attracted to sports that are being organized, or even invented, by the participants themselves as we speak. Roller derby fits that bill, as does bike polo. I wrote at length about a bike race in Iowa, the Trans-Iowa, which is effectively staged by one man but has nonetheless achieved a certain legendary status. I was looking for that kind of dirty-fingernailed Yankee ingenuity, mostly. At the same time, there’s a broad spectrum within the book—I wrote about the Cresta Run, which is this crazy sledding event in Switzerland that seems to attract European aristocrats almost exclusively, just because I think it’s cool and bizarre. Indy: Which sport made the biggest impression on you, for better or worse? Dundas: It’s hard to argue with the Trans-Iowa. It’s a cycling triple-century over the worst backroads you can imagine, out in the middle of nowhere. (The Iowa-style middle of nowhere, not the Montana-style middle of nowhere, i.e., you’re surrounded by seas of corn.) Just physically, it’s a monumental task and achievement—I really doubt that many professional athletes, in any sport, could outdo the guys who finished in the top five, in about 25 hours. Culturally, it was a reminder that this part of the country that people tend to think of as very boring and conventional is actually home to a bunch of very creative, engaged people. I think that resonated with me as a Montanan. And just personally, everyone involved in the race has this kind of folkloric stature, from Guitar Ted, the guy who runs the race, to Ira Ryan, the cycling fanatic who won the edition I witnessed.
Indy: Almost every sport involves— requires?—the consumption of alcohol in some way. Did you need more Bengay or detox after your research? Dundas: You know, in retrospect I probably over-emphasized the drinking, mostly just to be funny and set the right tone of serious unseriousness. People seem to be pretty struck by that as they read it. I think it’s important to note that even among the Hash House Harriers, the so-called “drinking club with a running problem,” there are people who are teetotal. I guess I’m saying that it’s a matter of attitude and approach rather than overall consumption.
about the best way to evolve. There are some bike polo players who can’t wait to cash that first Red Bull sponsorship check, and others who fairly vehemently want the sport to remain grassroots-controlled. It’s possible that there is a viable middle ground. I think roller derby, which has seen such phenomenal growth and yet has remained amateur and player-owned, is in the process of finding out. Indy: How did growing up in Montana, and your time in Missoula, contribute to your view of sports culture? Dundas: I think Montana fosters an
doors person and a serious reader. I am neither a great writer nor a great sportsman, but I’m trying on both counts. Indy: Aside from soccer (see excerpt on page 16), what’d you play during your time in Montana? Dundas: As I say in the book, I am not personally a great example of the Montana lifestyle, but I certainly did a bit of fishing, an extremely small and unsuccessful amount of hunting, some wilderness hiking, some rafting, some mountain biking, all that. When I was a kid, I played a bit of basketball (I was terrible) and briefly started at linebacker for the
“The overblown, grandiose and occasionally silly nature of major league sports somehow recalls Jefferson Starship to me. Meanwhile, I was trying to write about people who are the modernday sports equivalent of The Slits.” Indy: Which one of the sports you discovered has the best chance of eventually reaching a wider audience? (And is that a good thing or a bad thing?) Dundas: Bike polo and roller derby are both becoming full-fledged international sports, with established competitive calendars and broad, deep groups of players and fans. At the same time, I think both could remain relatively underground and still be very healthy and vibrant. Certainly, within both sports, you would find a wide range of opinions
appreciation for the DIY approach to life. That can mean playing in your own band, or it can mean shooting, gutting and skinning your own deer. It means that some people do both those things, which is a combination that, as I have discovered since moving to Portland, is sort of lost on people elsewhere. Even in the 21st century, Montana remains a fairly unmediated, authentic place. And I think Missoula, specifically, obviously exposed me to both great writers and great sportsmen and -women from an early age—it does not seem remarkable to me, at all, for someone to be both a serious out-
city champion Roosevelt Rebels flag football team. What can I say? I was a nerd by choice. Indy: Knowing your passion for soccer, what’s your expert analysis heading into the 2010 World Cup, and who do you think will ultimately hoist the trophy in South Africa? (Needless to say, your answer will constitute the entirety of the Indy’s official World Cup preview.)

football. They have the horsepower, but also a history of flameouts on the big stage. Likewise, the best player in the world right now, Lionel Messi, has never really proven himself with Argentina, and he must cope with having crazy Diego Maradona as his coach. Holland has potential to be a beautiful team. I don’t think we’ll see a repeat of the French and Italian tours de force of 2006—those teams are past their sell-by dates. England finally has a brilliant manager, but I remain unconvinced. Sadly, I don’t think the African teams will show much beyond their usual flashes of brilliance and their fatal inconsistency. While I don’t believe the United States will make it past the Round of 16 (or beat England this coming Saturday), I do think we have a team to be proud of. We’ve got players who have roots in Mexico, Haiti, Nigeria, Canada, Brazil, Scotland and elsewhere, many of whom made a conscious choice to represent the U.S. We’ve got white dudes, black dudes, Hispanic dudes. It’s not the old suburban-collegiate soccer factory anymore, either. Clint Dempsey grew up the only Anglo kid playing in the all-Mexican leagues down on the Texas border. Landon Donovan grew up poor in California. Jay DeMerit got zero attention coming out of college, paid his own way over to London
and painted houses for spending money while he scrapped his way up through the minor leagues, all the way to the Premiership. Win or lose, this team is the real America. Indy: You make a detailed comparison between mainstream sports and 1970s stadium rock in the book. How’s that work, exactly? Dundas: The overblown, grandiose and occasionally silly nature of major league sports somehow recalls Jefferson Starship to me. Meanwhile, I was trying to write about people who are the modern-day sports equivalent of The Slits. Indy: Have you sworn off mainstream sports entirely? Dundas: Not at all. I am really enjoying the NBA Finals, and looking forward to abandoning society, more or less, for a month of World Cup action. I think it’s great that the best in the world have an outlet for their skills. I just think everyone else needs an athletic outlet, too.

BEWARE THE CARNIES BEFORE SEARCHING FOR THE WORLD’S WILDEST GRASSROOTS SPORTS, DUNDAS CAPTAINED PERHAPS THE WORST TEAM IN MISSOULA SOCCER HISTORY Excerpt of The Renegade Sportsman by Zach Dundas reprinted by arrangement with Riverhead, a member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc., Copyright (c) 2010.
T
he world soccer explosion, well under way elsewhere, hadn’t quite happened yet in late-1990s Missoula. Social trends tend to wash over Montana about a decade late. (About half the time, this is a good thing). Isolation breeds creativity, so my friends and I were used to making our own fun. Sometimes that meant hauling a rented generator down to the riverside to power a show by an extreme-leftist punk band on tour from North Dakota. All too often it meant those weekends aptly described as “lost.” In ’97 and ’98, it meant the Carnies Football Club. The Carnies wore black T-shirts. Our team crest consisted of a wobbly, hand-drawn shield bearing a skull, a switchblade, and a bottle marked “XXX.” When I solicited a sponsorship at a sports bar the owner gave me a blank look and said, “Soccer, huh? Well, I guess. We wanna see you guys in here after every game, ordering puh-lenty of beer. Think you can do that, buddy?” Yes. I can’t say for sure, but I feel confident that Missoula Co-Rec Division 1 never before saw and never again would see a team as awful as us. For our debut match, about thirty rookie Carnies, lured perhaps by the team captain’s talk of puh-lenty of beer, showed up. Our sideline resembled a protest against the World Trade Organization, and every substitution opportunity devolved into total chaos. If memory serves, we trailed a well-kempt team from a law firm 5-0 at halftime. The referee—a tallow-skinned, fifty-something character who wore a vintage Santos FC warm-up suit and chain-smoked straight through the break—strolled over. “Captain,” he said, “you’ve got to get your team organized.” I didn’t ask if he had any teargas I could borrow. We did bag a consolation goal in the second half. A Carnie striker, one of a handful of our players with real experience, nailed a scorcher from twenty-five yards out.

A fantastic goal from any perspective, it must have looked equally beautiful to him. Before the game, he told me he had ingested hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Page 16 June 10–June 17, 2010
As the season progressed, the Carnies improved—a little. A Belarusian named Pavel, a paternal gent with salt-and-pepper hair whom none of us had ever met, mysteriously started showing up promptly at game time to play for us. He proved good for a couple of goals a game. Our pugnacious goalkeeper, a National Guardsman who both served in Afghanistan and played bass for Missoula’s most venerable punk band, put a little muscle in our defense. So did the linebacker from the Montana Grizzlies football (the other kind) team, recruited by my brother, who spent much of his time in Carnies black trying to start fights with opposing players. Our female players, it turned out, were much better than our men—for some reason, the Carnie women tended to be physically fit and less lifestyleimpaired than their male counterparts. I don’t know why. Other teams—genuine amateur athletes seeking bona fide recreational competition, I suppose—seemed unimpressed by our freewheeling approach. “This is ridiculous,” one snotty hotshot whined to a referee. “These guys don’t belong out here.” His team had scored three goals in fifteen minutes while dodging homicidal slide tackles, so maybe he had a point. That didn’t stop me from screaming “That was for you, motherfucker!” when we (Pavel) leveled the score in a game that we (Pavel) almost stole. The Carnies put together an immaculate winless streak. No other team, however, could match our party record. About half the core squad, including the hapless cap’n lived in a nine-bedroom decommissioned nunnery behind Missoula’s oldest Catholic church. By postmatch midnight, a choreographed wrestling match usually took place in the living room, with Heinz 57 used as fake blood. We chewed over tactics, technique, and lineups, but soon enough the day’s result started to feel irrelevant compared to olive-oil belly flop contests on the kitchen linoleum. Sadly, Pavel never joined us. I believe he was a religious man.

Chewing the fat FLASHINTHEPAN I’ve always enjoyed casual conversation, and rarely been averse to chewing on a nice hunk of fat. But the expression “chew the fat” never resonated with me, until some muchileros showed me the phrase’s literal meaning. Muchilero means backpack, and the muchileros are a tribe of Argentine wanderers who camp their way across some of the finer parts of the landscape, banding together around the fire by evening to drink matè, play guitar and plan the next day’s adventures. It was next to one such fire, under a starry night in San Martin, that I understood fat chewing. A piece of meat had been cooked over wood coals. Red wine was flowing. There was a bowl of salad, a loaf of bread, and everyone ate his share. As we lingered in our joyous collective afterglow, I sat there chewing the fat with the muchileros, as I literally gnawed on a bone to which a glob of fatty material was attached. Several times I put my bone back on the grill to heat up and remelt. The matrix of fat and connective tissue attached to that bone continued to surrender flavor as I chewed. I imagine language evolved in ancient scenes like this, around the same fires that hardened the spears and cooked the meat of our ancestors, while keeping away the wolves. They chewed the fat, told stories, worked on their communication skills and planned the next day’s adventures. In addition to stimulating conversation, some anthropologists believe that cooking food facilitated human brain development by increasing the efficiency with which calories are extracted from food. Because cooking produces soft, energy-rich foods, fewer calories are spent in digestive efforts, leaving a higher margin of caloric recovery. This supposedly allowed our brains—the most energy-intensive organ we have—to grow. Though fire was the original stove, today’s cooks have largely left it behind. With the loss of fire, we’ve also lost touch with the feelings and flavors associated with it. But fire remains available, at our service, a genie in a bottle that can be conjured anywhere, any time. And when we do, the experience of tending hot coals takes us to an archetypal place of

Your meat should be at room temperature, seasoned with salt and pepper. Some meat cooks love their marinades. But I say if you have good meat, you should be able to taste it. If anything, I’ll serve my simply cooked meat with a sauce. Lately I’ve been into chimichurri, an Argentine garlic and herb vinaigrette. Chimichurri is best prepared a day ahead so the flavors can develop. It will continue to age nicely for a few days in the fridge. Applied to fire-cooked meat, the spicy, oily, acidic fragrance of the chimichurri interacts with the slightly crispy, slightly smoky, slightly charred exterior of the meat to create the kind of harmonic dissonance that would make Mallmann cry. To make chimichurri, dissolve a tablespoon of coarse salt into a cup of water. Chop a head of garlic, a cup of fresh parsley and 1/4 cup fresh or dried oregano (or marjoram) and add it all to a blender. Blend, adding 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and then 1/2 cup olive oil. Finally, blend in the salt water. Transfer to a jar with a tight-fitting lid, and keep in the refrigerator. When your coals have burned down and you’re ready to cook meat, make sure the grill grate is clean, and oil it with a Photo by Ari LeVaux piece of fat or an oil-soaked paper towel.

In his recent cookbook, Seven Fires: Grilling the Argentine Way, Argentine chef Francis Mallmann writes: “I adore dissonance in food—two tastes fighting each other. It wakes up your palate and surprises you…The right amount of burning or charring can be delicious and seductive: a burnt tomato, for example, has a dark crust bordering on bitter, while the inside is soft and gentle in texture and taste.” Applying the right amounts of smoke and fire to your food is a delicate act, and easy to overdo. You want these harsh flavors to be team players, and not take over.

HAPPIESTHOUR Bowl Dog Lounge & Casino Why you’re here: Because apparently Westside Lanes is striving to be like the Bitterroot’s Qwivals Family Fun Center—but with alcohol. Brilliant! Beyond Westside’s best-in-town bowling lanes and arcade games, visitors can swing away in the batting cages or putt around on the mini-golf course. And you can do it all while buzzed after Bowl Dog Bar & Lounge’s two-for-one Happy Hour. But be careful: If you have too much fun you might end up embarrassing yourself during karaoke. Who you’re drinking with: On a recent Monday evening, I stroll in and belly up next to Jerry, a congenial census worker from Frenchtown who tells me I just missed the Happy Hour specials, which end at 6 p.m. He offers to buy me a drink to make up for it. Jerry had just spent all day driving around with his shih tzu Pepper trying to cajole people into telling him their race and telephone number. It was his first time in Bowl Dog. “Whoa!” he said of the clean, four-year-old
bar with about a dozen flat screens. “I gotta come back here.” Who entertains you: Alas, despite all of the reasons to come back to the Bowl Dog, many will come for one thing and one thing only: the bar’s famed karaoke, which happens Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday nights. I avoid karaoke like sweat-soaked bowling shoes, so in lieu of sharing a first-person Bowl Dog karaoke experience, I ask the bartender, Maggie Cummings, about the most pathetic thing she’s seen on stage. “White boys rapping,” she says. “If you don’t have any rhythm, stick to Neil Diamond.” Where to sing Neil Diamond: 1615 Wyoming Street. —Matthew Frank Happiest Hour celebrates western Montana watering holes.

Dear Flash, I’ve been eating psyllium husk powder, on the advice of a friend, to treat some, shall we say, bowel-related problems. Basically, I’ve been feeling that more food is going in my mouth than what’s coming out the other end. And what does come out the other end is, shall we say, sloppy. Well, the psyllium husk is clearly helping. It’s gotten to the point where the smell of it in the morning, when I take my first dose, has the effect of loosening my bowels that the smell of coffee used to have. The quantity of material that’s been leaving my body has been epic. I’m very happy with it, and also curious as to what psyllium husk is, and what is going on. —Too Much Information
Q
When you say you’ve been “eating” psyllium husk powder, I hope you mean you’ve been drinking it, after mixing it in water. Eating dry psyllium husk can lead to choking and other blockage problems in the throat.

Psyllium husk comes from the small seed of the isabgol plant, aka Plantago ovata, which grows in high arid regions of India and Pakistan. The husk is water-soluble and extremely absorbent, soaking up as much as 15 times its mass in water. It’s also extremely fibrous, and those fibers are like rebar in the sloppy contents of your intestines, reinforcing that goop into a solid fortified matrix. Meanwhile, the psyllium husk powder attracts water from elsewhere in your body, which creates a heavy mass in your bowels. That mass, assisted by the gelatinous consistency of the wet husk, creates something of a greased torpedo, and it’s bombs away. Just don’t overdo it. Too much psyllium husk can create a blockage in your intestine, and cause you to be dehydrated as it absorbs water from your blood and tissues. Drink lots of water when using psyllium husk.

If the glaciers in Glacier National Park are likely to disappear by the time I’m an old man in diapers, I might as well soak up as much of its beauty as I can, right? Right. Well, here’s my problem: Like many of you, I can’t always travel up to our giant neighbor to the north. But thanks to those aesthetic pushers at the Montana Museum of Art and Culture (MMAC), you and I have an alternative option that’s closer to home. This week the museum unveils its Glacier National Park Centennial Exhibition—an exhibit of paintings, photos and other art that celebrates the splendor of the park, and also examines the traditions of the Blackfeet, Salish and Kootenai tribes that call the place home. But there’s another aim, too: It recognizes the importance of the Great Northern Railway’s (GNR) route through Glacier, which, by some accounts, was a key spark to the park’s artistic history. As for the exhibit’s highlights, let’s start with John Fery, the late Austrian-born landscape painter whose work is pictured here. He was commissioned back in the day by the GNR to paint the leviathan landscapes along the rail’s route in order to entice would-be visitors to check out the park. And
it worked wonders, apparently, since the railway eventually purchased some 362 paintings from Fery. Other pieces worth checking out include snapshots by the late photog Edward S. Curtis. He snapped striking pics of American Indians before Glacier was even a park, and is perhaps best known for producing The North American Indian—a 20-volume series of photogravures and text documenting various American Indian tribes that was published between 1907 and 1930. That’s just the tip of this artistic glacier, as it were, but it ought to satiate at least some of your thirst for this magical place before its namesake features are gone for good. —Ira Sather-Olson

He spends his days marketing himself—calling up bars, farmers’ markets and concert venues to book a show wherever he can, so that he doesn’t have to resort to a part time job. And it’s not easy. “I’ve been traveling around in my car almost three years now after my girlfriend dumped me and kicked me out,” he says. “I actually deserved it.

System and Station I’m Here to Kill Latest Flame
The best moments of System and Station’s EP occur when the band diverges from its shimmering rock sameness and evokes elements of 1990s postrock edge. Parts of “We See Ourselves Shining Brightly,” for instance, remind me of Jane’s Addiction on Ritual de lo Habitual, the way the band sings, “Ohhh-oh, ohhh-oh!” over a jungle of layered drums and echoing guitar. “Patterns” busts out angular guitar that evokes prog rock goodness from earlier eras. But it’s only at these times when System and Station tries something different (i.e., bongos and acoustic guitar on the title track) that the otherwise

They’ve developed a dedicated fan base over the years, as evidenced by their pervasive bumper stickers and the devoted attendance of “Creek Freaks” at their shows. On the band’s debut album (recorded at Club Shmed), the locals noodle their way through 14 tunes selected from an extensive repertoire, offering up rock, blues and a little bit of country. Comparisons abound, of course, and the big names come to mind first; it’s clear Miller Creek
The Melvins
The Bride Screamed Murder Ipecac
Like pro-wrestling legend Ric Flair, venerable sludge metal outfit the Melvins don’t know when to quit. Their latest, The Bride Screamed Murder, opens with stentorian guitars bellowing their arrival—so far no surprises here. But this band has always embraced surprise and “The Water Glass” quickly dismisses guitar in favor of syncopated military drumming and call-and-response vocals that convinced me to drop and give King Buzzo 20. “I’ll Finish You Off ” features—dare I say it—soaring vocals, which is where the album really starts to
Josh Ritter
So Runs the World Away Pytheas
When Josh Ritter appeared on the scene just over 10 years ago, it was already apparent that he was a musician whose poetic vision exceeded the confines of any genre. Since then, he has grown into an astoundingly focused and standout songster, and his new album, So Runs the World Away, is truly masterful. Dubbed a troubadour, Ritter is indeed a storyteller for our time; his lyrics are as much narrative poetry as

ethereal collection of songs finds some grounding. Clearly the Portland, Ore.based band is full of talented musicians: When you listen closely you can hear the way complex rhythms underlie smart riffs to make an airtight wall of sound. But it’s not that gripping in the end. Triumphant rock moments emerge, only to be instantly muffled by psychedelic waves of sound. When a sense of anxiety rises to the surface of a song it’s immediately dulled by space rock and threads of hazy guitar jamming. Without an edge, I’m Here to Kill doesn’t make much of an impression.

takes cues from Phish, String Cheese Incident and others of that ilk. I also hear strains of more obscure late-’90s jammers like Percy Hill and God Street Wine. And while Miller Creek is in good company with these folks, the similarity in sound is my one gripe. Clearly, here are four very talented, dedicated musicians who write compelling lyrics, harmonize well and play excellently together. And yet, based on this album, their sound is nothing new. This is perhaps due to the common phenomenon that jam bands, when stuffed into a studio, sound cramped. Perhaps it’s only on stage, when the band is live and in the groove, that the familiar sound blossoms into something fun and danceable. (Melissa Mylchreest) Miller Creek plays with 50 other bands at Love Your Mother Earth Festival at Rock Creek Lodge Friday, June 11, at 9 PM. $50 ooze with the torpid power of “classic” Melvins sludge rock. And, dude, the organ is rad. Odd vocal grunts, seamless time shifts and the bombastic power of the drumming duo make tracks like “Electric Flower” and “Hospital Up” epic American heavy metal weekend jams. Too bad the album disintegrates as it meanders toward its end. A cover of The Who’s “My Generation,” although a forceful live staple, lacks energy and originality. Wait, I get it. We’re apathetic and derivative these days; it’s supposed to lack energy! Nope, it doesn’t work. The Melvins may still have a few good matches left in them, but the tights are getting a little snug in all the wrong places. (Jason McMackin) anything else. And yet, the cinematic worlds he creates are at once odd and everyday, timely and timeless. “The Curse,” for instance, is an astonishingly poignant waltz about a love affair between an archaeologist and a mummy. “Folk Bloodbath” is a stirring modern recreation of the classic “Delia.” The lighthearted tunes, “Lark” and “Lantern,” recall Simon and Garfunkle. Comparison to great storytellers like Bob Dylan are not a stretch; Ritter holds his own among the epic American cannon. Backed by a flawless band and broad orchestral sound, this Idaho native often draws on distinctly American themes—from pines and Appaloosas to Arctic exploration and outlaws, all glowing details gleaned from history and natural history. In this newest creation, he’s given us an undeniably remarkable album. (Melissa Mylchreest)

The most interesting thing about Ashton in the same realm of twinkling opulence, but he is Kutcher onscreen is that he’s Ashton Kutcher. And soon disabused of the notion that Killers will be it’s really not even all that interesting. However little anywhere near as well-crafted, funny, entertaining, attention you might pay to celebrity news, you’re or just plain good. probably aware that Kutcher is married to actress And it isn’t. Just nowhere near at all. Killers is full Demi Moore, 16 years his senior, and stepfather to of scenes that Max Fisher from Rushmore would be Moore’s three daughters by ex-husband Bruce proud to have written: packed with clichés and deliriWillis. So there you go: The most interesting thing ously unaware of it, but not in a good or funny way about Ashton Kutcher is Demi Moore. here. It’s as though the film lexicon of writers Bob I recently read, with a sort of low-grade interest DeRosa and Ted Griffin and director Rob Luketic con(and in the New Yorker, thank you, not Us or In Touch), sisted solely of low-rent hit-man movie tropes. that earlier this year Kutcher took part in a U.S. State Department technological delegation to Russia, where he lambasted the teenage Russian founder of a wild-and-woolly chat site for some of the unregulated content his stepdaughters had encountered in their otherwise chaste wanderings through wholesome cyberspace. More recently, Kutcher became the first Twitter user to garner more than a million followers, narrowly beating out CNN. Now there’s a hell of a statement on what people find interesting and worth paying attention to. “Nothing can save you now—or save this movie.” Some two dozen movies into his career, Kutcher is still best known for the TV role of Michael Kelso on the 1998–2006 Fox It might have been more entertaining to unpack a series “That ’70s Show.” Here again, another mildly few of them, have a little fun, send them up a little.

THE POWER OF POSITIVE SINKING How do you know whether a guy is worth staying with, or if you’re on a slowly sinking ship? My boyfriend of three and a half years treats me well, but he suffers bouts of depression and his divorce six years ago has hung a shadow over our relationship. He’s never told me he loves me, which I need at this point. His divorce also left him financially scarred, and he’s taken a roommate, who happens to be female, to stave off foreclosure. It turns out she was raped some time ago. Soon after moving in, she told my boyfriend she was uncomfortable with others in the house having sex. She doesn’t have a job now, so even afternoon trysts are out. I think it’s terrible what happened to her, but I also find it awfully presumptuous of her to dictate this aspect of our lives. We can’t have sex at my place, except when my kids can stay at my mom’s. I needed more from my boyfriend even before the roommate came, but too often now, there’s only that seven-minute exhausted call at 11:45 at night. I’m disturbed that he’d basically sell out our relationship for some rent money. —Sexless In The City Are you on a slowly sinking ship? Well, if this were the Titanic, DiCaprio and Winslet would’ve had time before the ship went down to have four kids, three affairs, and a bitter divorce. It’s terrible, what happened to his roommate, but moving into somebody’s place and then announcing, “Oh, by the way, I’m traumatized by people having sex…” is like saying, “Did I mention that I’m deathly allergic to cats? Not to worry, I hear they don’t feel a thing when they get put down.” Of course, a guy who wants to have sex with his girlfriend but takes in a roommate who’s “uncomfortable” with it passes on the bad news: that he’ll be giving said roommate time to pack, not that he’ll be sleeping with the girlfriend from 11:45 to 12:02, but only over the phone, and he really does mean “sleeping.” If you were boyfriend-shopping right now, imagine answering this ad: “Emotionally and financially devastated divorced man with deeply troubled roommate seeks girlfriend: no pets, no sex, no ‘I love you.’” Clearly, what you really need to hear isn’t “those three little words” but those eight: “I just can’t give you what you want.” Chances are, you succumbed to what economists call “the sunk cost fallacy”—investing more and more time in this relationship
because you’ve already invested so much time. You should instead be looking at what the guy currently has to offer: basically, seven minutes a night for you to work on convincing him “If you really loved me, you’d be living out of your car.” Is it possible he’ll change? Sure it is—if he wins the lottery and meets a good witch who’ll wave her magic wand over him, instantly curing his depression, or if you can invent a time machine so he can go back and stay in bed with a hangover on the day he met his now ex-wife. On the bright side, you should find it easier to coax him into saying “I love you”…at gunpoint, or by attaching jumper cables to his nipples.
PAST CONTROL My boyfriend of three years has always suspected that I had a sexual history with one of my male friends. I lied and said I didn’t. (The sex was a one-time mistake, three years before I met my boyfriend.) The problem is, I have lunch with this friend two or three times a year to catch up (always in public places). So far, I’ve refused to stop seeing my friend, which hurts my boyfriend. Should I cut him off to spare my boyfriend’s feelings? —Just Friendly Poor Booboo, does he have an ouchie day, two or three times a year, whenever you bring home mints from the Olive Garden? There’s a telltale sign— that you had lunch. Your boyfriend, like too many grown adults, is under the impression that life should always be one long Princess Cruise. Sure, he feels jealous (and apparently, that you’re sleazy, trampy, and not to be trusted). Being jealous is human nature, and reflects insecurity on his part, which you shouldn’t be catering to by cutting friends out of your life. Continue keeping mum about your sexual history, and help your boyfriend feel more secure by letting him know how hot and wonderful you find him, and by being touchy-feely, like you can’t keep your hands off him. Of course, these tactics are most effective if you also avoid returning from lunches three days later, claiming to have escaped your kidnappers, the Mexican drug kingpins.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19): The “secret” is in plain sight. The “hidden resource” is freely available for anyone who intends to use it with integrity. The “lost key” is very close to where you left it when you last used it. The “missing link” is missing only in the sense that no one recognizes it for what it is. The “unasked question” is beaming toward you from three directions. The “wounded talent” will be healed the moment you stop thinking of it as wounded and start regarding it as merely unripe. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s time for some image medicine, Taurus. Wherever you are right now, I invite you to look down at your left palm and imagine that you see the following scene: an infinity sign whose shape is made not by a thin black line but by a series of small yellow rubber duckies. The duckies are flowing along slowly in continuous motion. They are all wearing gold crowns, each of which is studded with three tiny rubies. With resonant tones that belie their diminutive and comic appearance, the duckies are singing you your favorite song. It makes you feel safe, brave, and at home in the world. What else can see you see there? What happens next? GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you have long conversations with the image in the mirror this week, I won’t call you a megalomaniacal narcissist. Nor will I make fun of you if you paint 15 selfportraits, or google yourself obsessively, or fill an entire notebook with answers to the question “Who am I, anyway?” In my astrological opinion, this is an excellent time for you to pursue nosy explorations into the mysteries of your core identity. You have cosmic permission to think about yourself with an intensity you might normally devote to a charismatic idol you’re infatuated with.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The website “Nietzsche Family Circus” features collaborations between the sappy family-oriented comic strip “Family Circus” and the austerely portentous wisdom of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Judging from your current astrological omens, I’d say this is a perfect time for you to expose yourself to this stuff. (It’s at http://www.losanjealous.com/nfc/.) You need to toughen up some of your weepy, sentimental urges and brighten up some of your somber, melancholic tendencies.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I want to be everywhere at once and do everything at the same time,” writes one of my Scorpio readers, J.T. He’s in luck, because according to my analysis, your tribe is about to enjoy a phase much like what he describes. “No more of this linear, one-dayat-a-time stuff,” he continues. “I want a whole week packed into each 24-hour turn of the earth, with heavy doses of leisure time interwoven with thrilling bouts of hard, creative labor. I want to live in a secret garden with ten years of solitude and hang out at a street fair raging with conviviality. I want to sing with angels and romp with devils in between walking the dog, exercising at the gym, and chatting to perfectly ordinary people. I want enough money to fill a swimming pool, and I want to live like there’s no such thing as money.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): One of the leading intellectuals of the 20th century, British author Aldous Huxley, wrote more than 20 books, including Brave New World. In his later years he made a surprising confession: “It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one’s life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than ‘Try to be a little kinder.’” In accordance with your current astrological omens, Capricorn, I’d like you to take a cue from Huxley in the coming week. Proceed on the assumption that the smartest thing you can do—both in terms of bringing you practical benefits and increasing your intelligence—would be to deepen, expand, and intensify your compassion.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Early in Marcel Proust’s novel In Search of Lost Time, the narrator stumbles upon a dizzying epiphany while having a snack. He dips a small cake into his cup of tea, and when he sips a spoonful, the taste of the sweet crumbs blended with the warm drink transport him into an altered state. Inexplicably, he’s filled with an “all-powerful joy” and “exquisite pleasure” that dissolve his feelings of being “mediocre, contingent, and mortal.” The associations and thoughts triggered by this influx of paradise take him many pages to explore. I mention this, Aquarius, because I expect that you’re about to have your own version of this activation. A seemingly ordinary event will lead to a breakthrough that feeds you for a long time. Be alert for it!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you live on the Danish island of Mando, your only hope for driving your vehicle to the mainland and back is when the tide is low. During those periods, the water often recedes far enough to expose a rough gravel road that’s laid down over a vast mudflat. Winter storms sometimes make even low-tide passages impossible, though. According to my reading of the astrological omens, Sagittarius, there’s a comparable situation in your life. You can only get from where you are to where you want to go at certain selected times and under certain selected conditions. Make sure you’re thoroughly familiar with those times and conditions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Environmentalist Bill McKibben says that humans are transforming the planet so drastically that we shouldn’t refer to it as “Earth” any more. To acknowledge the fact that we’re well on our way to living on a very different world, he suggests we rename our home the “Eaarth.” By this logic, maybe we should rename your sign Piisces. The changes you’re in the process of making this year are potentially so dramatic that you will, in a sense, be inhabiting a new astrological sign by January 2011. In your case, however—unlike that of our planet—the majority of your alterations are likely to be invigorating and vitalizing. And you’re now entering a phase when you’ll have maximum opportunity to ensure that successful outcome.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you’ve read my horoscopes for a while, you know I’m the least superstitious astrologer on the planet. I champion the cause of reason and logic, praise the beauty of science, and discourage you from constantly scanning the horizon for fearful omens. And yet I’m also a zealous advocate of the power of the liberated imagination. I believe that the playful and disciplined use of fantasy can be a potent agent for benevolent change in your life. That’s why, in accordance with the current astrological configurations, I suggest that you spend some quality time in the coming week having imaginary conversations with the person, living or dead, who inspires you the most.

Your future power spot has been exerting a strong pull on you. It has been calling for you to come and seize the clout you deserve. But you have not yet fully taken up the offer. As your designated nag and cheerleader, it is my sacred duty to wave a red flag in front of your gorgeous face and command you to pay attention.

You’re more than ready to stake a claim to the increased authority you’ll have a mandate to wield in the coming months.
