STREET TALK

by Chad Harder

Asked Tuesday afternoon on the Hip Strip in Missoula.

Q:

Montana’s general deer and elk hunting season begins this Saturday. What will you have in your crosshairs this weekend?

Follow-up: Speaking of hunting, Idaho Gov. Butch Otter announced yesterday that his state will stop enforcing federal wolf protections. What are your thoughts on that decision?

Mike Robinson: My hunting season’s already over—I filled my tags with three deer and an elk.

I’ll just say it was in southern Montana, and that we saw a wolf this year. Room for all: Well, I was thinking about starting a group called “Hunters for Wolves,” because I believe that they have a place on the landscape here in Montana and Idaho. They may need to be managed, but they belong here.

Kelly Harrell: Not hunting, just hanging out with the kids. I typically try to stay away from where they do their hunting. I don’t want to become an elk in someone’s sights.

The only hunting I do anymore is with the camera. Balancing act: I’m not really up on that subject, but I’m all about trying to keep a balance within the animal kingdom, and I’m definitely for the wolves.

Betsy Mulligan-Dague: My sights are set on getting something unique—while shopping in Seattle. My husband and son will definitely be going for whatever they can get, though.

Sharing the bounty: That’s a tough question, although there are good points on both sides of the issue. Humans and wolves are both predators, and we’ll need to find a balanced approach if we’re going to make it work.

Ryan Boehme: Elk, in my secret hunting spot. Full meal deal: That’s a mixed bag of worms. I definitely believe that states have the right to manage game populations within their boundaries, and that wolves deserve protection, but when populations transcend state lines it gets complicated. We saw three wolves this year, and while they’re majestic, and a part of the ecosystem, they do need to be managed.

Women for Ibsen

Tauting Toole

This year, Missoula County voters are fortunate to have before them two outstanding candidates for the office of sheriff. I have known both internal candidates, Brad Giffin and Carl Ibsen, for over 15 years. I have a great deal of respect for both of these men—both have extensive experience in the local law enforcement community, high standards of integrity, and the right motives for seeking the office of sheriff.

Two highly qualified candidates make for a difficult decision on Election Day. I believe the key that sets these candidates apart is their vision for the department, and I believe Carl Ibsen has the vision to take a fine department and make it even better. The sheriff ’s department is a solid agency with many good officers, but it still has several big areas of opportunity. Two that stand out most to me are the scarcity of women on the force, and the lack of presence in local schools.

Over the past 20 years, the number of women working in law enforcement has grown significantly, but the Missoula County Sheriff ’s Office (MCSO) remains static. Of the 50 sworn law enforcement officers currently employed by the department, only one is female. When she retires later this year, it will leave MCSO as an all-male department. The challenge in hiring and retaining qualified females suggests a culture within the department that is not in alignment with 21st century values. Carl Ibsen sees this, and has a plan to change it.

In the past eight years, the presence of deputies in Missoula County’s rural schools has become nearly non-existent. While the Missoula City Police have substantially strengthened their partnership with schools and special community groups in the last decade, the Missoula County Sheriff ’s Department has done the opposite. Visits to schools from officers have been reduced to barely one or two a year. Community police work prevents crime and helps keep kids on track, yet it has been one of the lowest priorities of the MCSO in recent years. Carl Ibsen understands this as well, and if he is elected sheriff, will make his deputies far more visible for crime prevention in our schools and communities.

I’ve observed that many current and former employees of the sheriff ’s department have been outspoken in support of Brad Giffin, and I’m not surprised.

Change—even positive change—can be uncomfortable. For the citizens of Missoula County who deserve to be protected by modern, progressive, community-oriented law enforcement, Carl Ibsen is the right candidate.

It’s not hard to sense the anger in the electorate right now. Corporate interests and the public officials who have been co-opted by them have made a mockery of the political process. That’s why now more than ever, it’s important to ensure that we retain the courageous officials who fight for our interests. The absolute last thing we should do is toss out a champion of the people and

values.

replace him with a corporate insider who seeks to preside over regulating the very industry in which he works.

Ken Toole is our champion in PSC 5.

While in the state Senate, Ken adamantly fought against energy deregulation. Most politicians sided with big energy and Ken lost that battle, but we all now realize how courageous and correct his stance was. That failed decision led to skyrocketing energy costs for Montanans and an about-face by those who had opposed Ken. Ken has also fought for Montanans while on the PSC by obtaining $16 million in rate reductions for us and ensuring that Qwest extend broadband service to much of rural Montana.

While Ken is an unabashed advocate for the people, his opponent Bill Gallagher is an unapologetic industry insider. Gallagher operates a corporation that would be regulated by the PSC. Worse, this company is partially owned by a Nevada-based corporation about which he refuses to provide details.

We’ve been rightfully angered from big oil running Minerals Management Service, and Wall Street running the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Now a utility operator wants to sit on the PSC? Haven’t we all had just about enough of corporate interests muddying our waters?

Before you vote in the PSC race, remember that Ken Toole has a long history of being our champion against big business. If the state had more like him in office, we would have a lot lower energy bills, and we would all have a lot less to be angry about.

Ryan Busse Chair Montana Conservation Voters Kalispell

Shooting down candidates Texas legislator Dr. Suzanne GratiaHupp said, “How a politician stands on the Second Amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual…as a trustworthy and productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of.”

Every election cycle we see candidates with marginal commitment to gun owners doing a masquerade intended to deceive voters. A standard buzz-phrase these candidates use is “hunter access,” words designed to bait unsuspecting gun owners into thinking the candidate is truly committed to the right to bear arms.

Don’t take the bait for that particular trap, and don’t fall for the on-paper-only, hunting-sounding “groups” that emerge only shortly before each election to offer political cover for candidates who do not fully support the right to bear arms.

Rather, trust the entities that have been in the trenches for decades fighting for your rights—the Montana Shooting Sports Association (MSSA) and the National Rifle Association (NRA). Both MSSA and the NRA evaluate candidates for you. Find the MSSA evaluations at mtssa.org or at VoteSmart.org, and the NRA evaluations at nrapvf.org.

Don’t get sucked in by the photo op candidates who borrow a shotgun for a campaign photo. In Montana we call that “All hat and no cows.” Check candidates out carefully or trust MSSA and the NRA to have done a good job evaluating candidates for you. As Dr. Gratia-Hupp implies, a candidate’s true attitude about your gun rights is a litmus for much else about that candidate.

Officers are seen leaving the storefront on S. Third Street West with boxes of paperwork and computers.

• Friday, October 15 Alex Miller, 18, of Lolo is cited with misdemeanor criminal mischief for allegedly butchering more than 100 pumpkins at the Missoula Alliance Church in the South Hills. Missoula Police Sergeant Bob Bouchee says law enforcement hasn’t uncovered any motive behind the gourd assault, which causes approximately $1,000 of damage to the church’s annual fundraiser.

Although Montana’s general deer and elk season doesn’t open until Oct. 23, hunters have been in the field since September in pursuit of bear, moose, mountain goat and bighorn sheep. This ewe was harvested on Sunday, Oct. 17 in the Lewis and Clark National Forest’s Rocky Mountain Front.

The move comes on the heels of a federal case earlier this year that overturned a federal ban on corporate election spending.

• Tuesday, October 19 A day after Idaho Gov. Butch Otter announces his state will no longer manage wolves under federal guidelines, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation urges hunters to show restraint in the field. “The sporting community must continue to follow our time-honored tradition of legal, ethical hunting,” says President and CEO David Allen.

Backpage.com gives it up On Monday, “Delilah” posted an advertisement on Backpage.com—with a picture of her wearing black stockings and laying in bed—stating that she’ll be in Missoula one last time before she retires, should anyone be in need of an “amazing sensual full body massage by a beautiful petite blonde.”

It appears Delilah’s retirement may come at a good time, because on Tuesday, Backpage.com announced the immediate suspension of certain areas of its personals and adult sections after it was put under pressure by 21 state attorneys general, including Steve Bullock of Montana.

“Backpage.com is committed to the safety and security of our users and we recognize the urgency of implementing solid defense mechanisms to combat those intent on misusing the site,” Backpage.com spokesperson Steve Suskin said in a statement. “We are pleased to have already identified some significant changes and are working diligently to implement them.”

At first, Backpage.com resisted the group’s call to follow suit, saying the attorneys were attempting to censor the site and shift blame from criminal predators to a legal business operator.

Backpage.com’s recent move appears an attempt to meet the attorneys halfway.

But halfway’s not good enough for Bullock.

“This is a step in the right direction, but there’s still much more that Backpage.com needs to do to guarantee their website is not a forum for the exploitation of women and children,” Bullock says.

“I’ll continue to work with my colleagues across the country and hold accountable those who facilitate criminal activity.”

In addition to the immediate suspension, Backpage.com has begun to review all ads and images in the site’s personals and adult sections, increase staff to quickly identify illegal ads, and implement roadblocks to prevent minors from accessing mature content, among other measures.

Backpage.com also calls for the creation of a multistakeholder national task force to help thwart opportunities to advertise illegally.

Equality PFLAG aims for Polson In the wake of several highly publicized suicides across the nation committed by young gay men, a group of individuals and local nonprofits are working to expand a safety net across western Montana capable of better supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.

“We aim to save lives,” says Cheryl Wolfe, a Flathead Valley resident leading the effort to create a new Polson branch of Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), a support group with affiliates in more than 500 communities across the globe.

Wolfe’s sister is a lesbian, and that connection leaves Wolfe especially attuned to the imprint homophobia leaves on LGBT people.

Briefs

“This is my family, my children’s family, and it’s hurtful to me to hear people speak hatefully,” says Wolfe, who is also a Green Party candidate running for the Montana Legislature in House District 11.

Wolfe says she regularly hears stories not just from her sister but also from Flathead Valley neighbors who witness bullying and name-calling directed at kids deemed different by peers. For instance, Wolfe recently heard from a man who was upset because his grandson is routinely called a “faggot” at school.

According to Wolfe, a group of elementary school children chased the effeminate 10-year-old student down and shot at him with a plastic pellet gun.

“It happens all the time,” Wolfe says. “Too often—more than people realize.”

Studies routinely find LGBT youth are disproportionately likely to commit suicide, says Donald Stuker, president of PFLAG Missoula, which is helping the Polson branch get off the ground.

“Gay youth are actually four times more likely to commit suicide than straight people in our cohort,” says Stuker, a 21-year-old Hi-Line native.

That’s why, says Wolfe, PFLAG aims to unite LGBT people and their allies.

“It is not acceptable for even one young person in our town to commit suicide for being bullied and not knowing where to get help,” she says.

“There are many, many people who care about these kids and know that (they) are just the same as any other person. They are our friends and families and neighbors.”

Education Frenchtown bans nonprofit An anti-sex education sentiment similar to the one that rocked Helena’s public school system this summer has taken root locally. The Frenchtown School District Board of Trustees voted last week to block presentations on birth control by a Missoula health center after intense testimony from a group of outraged parents.

For the past eight years, Planned Parenthood of Montana (PPM) has offered Frenchtown freshmen a 90-minute lesson every semester on how birth control can help prevent teen pregnancy and contraction of sexually transmitted infections. PPM Communications Director Beth Cogswell says she’s never heard of complaints about the presentations in the past, and believes those who led the recent campaign spread mistruths that could hinder PPM’s ability to aid teens in the area.

Frenchtown School Board President Dianne

Up Front

Ochenski

Burke—one of the two dissenting votes on PPM’s removal—says the campaign against the birth control presentations stemmed from a faction of parents and board members opposed to PPM itself. During the meeting, Burke recalls many people accusing PPM of giving out “low-dose birth control and defective condoms” in the hopes that teens would then get pregnant and seek out the clinic for abortion services. Cogswell finds the allegations “ridiculous.”

“Spreading misinformation about Planned Parenthood—that we give out defective condoms, that our employees are basically sitting around poking holes in condoms—is completely ludicrous,” Cogswell says. “That testimony, I hope that doesn’t influence teenagers in Frenchtown from accessing Planned Parenthood services.”

The issue goes deeper for Burke. She’s confident the school’s health teacher can handle birth control education. But Frenchtown has a number of at-risk youth, Burke says, who have low parental involvement and typically benefit from direct interaction with outside resources.

“Our curriculum stresses that abstinence is the only 100 percent way to make sure that you don’t get pregnant,” Burke says, “but we have kids that are making other choices.”

Burke fears Frenchtown will have a difficult time filling the void left behind by PPM. She believes any replacement program would almost certainly have to come from a religious-based organization to gain the favor of local pro-lifers. But at the very least, Burke says, “Kids can get a ride into [Missoula] if they need to.”

Rattlesnake Sonata Park debate heats up Up until now, the battle between the city of Missoula and Rattlesnake residents over the contro-

Agenda

News Quirks

versial Sonata Park Subdivision was mostly a local one about how much influence communities have in shaping neighborhood density. But the potentially precedent-setting issue is set for a larger audience as soon as January—the Montana Supreme Court.

“It’s going to be of significant interest,” says Missoula City Attorney Jim Nugent, who this week is busy drafting a legal brief in preparation for the case.

Nugent and the plaintiff ’s lawyer, David K.W. Wilson Jr., both expect the case to be heard this winter.

The Sonata Park conflict heated up in 2007, when the City Council voted 10–2 in favor of giving developer Muth-Hillberry the go-ahead to build 37 homes on 34 acres just off Duncan Drive near the North Hills.

“We felt pretty ignored at the hearings,” says Rattlesnake resident Kathy Heffernan. “We felt like our concerns were never spoken to, were never addressed.”

The council signed off on significantly more density than many Rattlesnake residents, including Heffernan, were willing to accept. In fact, locals had spelled out exactly how they wanted to grow in a neighborhood plan that citizens and city planners crafted more than a decade prior.

The neighborhood plan, dubbed the Rattlesnake Valley Comprehensive Plan, is like dozens across the state, reflecting grassroots efforts by communities to, from the bottom up, shape growth. Such plans address how to build and pay for infrastructure along with development density. In Missoula, the Rattlesnake plan specifically stipulates that the area slated to become the Sonata Park Subdivision accommodate no more than one home per five-acre parcel. That’s a far cry from the 1.1-acre per home development the city signed off on.

Because of that, three Rattlesnake residents, including Heffernan, along with the North Duncan Drive Neighborhood Association, filed suit against the city in 2008.

Earlier this year, Missoula’s Fourth Judicial Court Judge Robert “Dusty” Deschamps III agreed with the plaintiffs, finding: “The city essentially ignored the central component of the Rattlesnake Plan, the land-use recommendations, when it approved a subdivision with over four times the recommended density.”

Deschamps decision prompted the city to ask the Supreme Court for guidance on how much legal sway citizen-crafted growth plans wield.

Acres of former Plum Creek Timber Co. land Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks intends to purchase for $15 million in its proposed West Swan Valley Conservation Project. FWP announced last Friday a two-week extension on public comment ending Oct. 29.

etc.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Obama administration last week reversed a piece of Bush-era endangered species policy and opted to extend critical habitat designations for bull trout on some 19,000 miles of streams in Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Nevada. It’s good news for fishermen, and better news for the fish—but not everyone is celebrating.

The USFWS decision makes any adverse modifications to critical bull trout habitat a violation of federal law. The increased protections will require projects executed on federal land or funded by federal dollars to conduct more in-depth studies on environmental impacts. That could have a direct effect on two separate ongoing proposals: high-and-wide shipments along local rivers and Sen. Jon Tester’s Forest Jobs and Recreation Act. Michael Garrity, executive director of the Alliance for the Wild Rockies, one of the groups that fought for years to increase bull trout protections under the Endangered Species Act, says the decision may factor into ExxonMobil’s bid to ship roughly 200 tar sands mining modules up the Clearwater, Lochsa and Blackfoot rivers—a project still under consideration by both the Idaho Transportation Department and the Montana Department of Transportation.

“The state has to take a much closer look now at how this could potentially affect bull trout critical habitat if, for example, one of the big rigs falls in the river,” Garrity says.

“They have to build turnouts every five minutes. How will that affect critical habitat?”

Before, such projects only had to prove their activities would not cause extinction of bull trout in the Pacific Northwest. But the new bull trout ruling will raise more questions during environmental review processes—and in some cases show that projects are simply too risky to pursue.

The logging mandates contained in Sen. Jon Tester’s proposed Forest Jobs and Recreation Act are an example of activity that could also be subject to new endangered species protections. While much of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest lies outside the new critical habitat designations, the Rock Creek drainage does contain a viable bull trout population, as Garrity points out. So does the Kootenai National Forest, which would be similarly impacted by Tester’s provision that the U.S. Forest Service log 100,000 acres of forest over the next 15 years.

Tester’s office responded to the USFWS ruling by assuring that the Forest Jobs and Recreation Act “will comply with all laws, including the Endangered Species Act.” The new bull trout protections no doubt impact many other projects beyond big rigs and “Big W” wilderness, but it at least generates a new line of debate surrounding two of the area’s more contentious environmental issues.

Dark horse McDonald tries to buck Rehberg’s winning streak

by Alex Sakariassen

Dennis McDonald rode up to the steps of the Missoula County Courthouse Monday morning on a horse named Rowboat. A mule, Justice, followed close behind with a sign draped over his back: “McDonald for Congress.” After seven months of stumping for Montana’s lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, McDonald was finally in his element.

Rehberg was a passenger, to, more recently, Rehberg’s flip-flopped stance on the Cuban embargo—his campaign has failed to generate much momentum.

“I think he’s doing the best he can,” Anderlik says of McDonald’s efforts to gain support. “He clearly could be a capable and competent congressman. If we’re hiring someone to be our representative in

Dennis McDonald, the underdog Democratic candidate for Montana’s U.S. House of Representatives seat, kicked off a two-week horseback ride across the state on Monday. McDonald hopes the tour will help him in his long shot to oust five-term incumbent Denny Rehberg.

“I’m always more comfortable when I’m in the saddle,” the Democratic candidate said. “This is the most enjoyable part of the campaign.”

The visit was part of McDonald’s twoweek “Riding for the Brand” tour, an eleventh-hour campaign push that has him trotting through every major town “from Eureka to Ekalaka.” McDonald, founder of the United States Cattlemen’s Association and former chairman of the Montana Democratic Party, says he hopes riding Rowboat across the state will demonstrate the work ethic he’ll bring to Congress and sway any undecided voters in advance of the Nov. 2 election.

But the only two supporters who showed up Monday to greet McDonald— Missoula Area Central Labor Council President Mark Anderlik and Democratic State Committeewoman Starla Gade—were outnumbered by both the local press and a nearby group of vagrants.

The paltry turnout reflects a general lack of faith in McDonald’s long-shot bid to oust five-term Republican incumbent Denny Rehberg. Despite McDonald’s best efforts—aside from the horse stunt, he’s bluntly berated Rehberg on everything from last year’s allegedly drunken speedboat accident on Flathead Lake, in which

Washington, I don’t think Rehberg deserves anybody’s vote.”

The turnout a week earlier at McDonald’s speech before the Missoula County Democratic Central Committee wasn’t much different. Eighteen people showed up to the Missoula City Council chambers to hear McDonald talk about rural poverty and job creation. McDonald knew most of the local folks on a first name basis. His enthusiasm seemed to ignore the lack of fresh, undecided faces at his public functions in Missoula.

“Several months ago I would have told you winning this race was a huge long shot,” McDonald told those at the meeting.

“I feel that changing…I’m suddenly feeling hope at the end of this thing.”

Rehberg hasn’t faced a competitive race for re-election since taking office in 2000. In 2008, surprise Democratic primary winner John Driscoll decided not to raise campaign funds and, after promising to vote for Rehberg if Rehberg voted against the federal bailout, kept his promise and voted for his opponent; he lost to Rehberg by 152,540 votes. In 2006, Monica Lindeen attempted to attract attention to her campaign by driving a biofueled bus across the state; she lost by 80,532 votes. McDonald admits he’s facing a similar uphill climb.

“Going into these last three weeks, I remain the underdog,” McDonald says.

“That’s just fine with me. In fact, it’s a comfortable position to be in as long as that changes by eight o’clock on Nov. 2.”

The most recent round of quarterly finance reports, filed with the Federal Election Commission Oct. 16, speak volumes for McDonald’s weak position in the race. His fundraising efforts have mostly covered staff payrolls, travel expenses, television advertising and fundraiser food—he spent $217.71 at the Polson Grocery on Aug. 11. By comparison, Rehberg has spent $32,818 on political and media consulting since July, plus thousands more for event expenses at restaurants and clubs across the country including $1,039.34 at the posh Club at Spanish Peaks in Big Sky and $1,106.22 at the Big Sky Pro Shop. Rehberg’s raised more than $1.2 million this year, a stark contrast to McDonald’s $221,125.72.

That commanding financial lead has allowed Rehberg to all but disregard his would-be usurper. McDonald challenged Rehberg at the beginning of the campaign to meet him on the steps of every courthouse in Montana’s 56 counties. To date, Rehberg, McDonald and Libertarian candidate Mike Fellows have debated just three times—twice in June for two state media organizations and once in Great Falls Oct. 15. In the waning weeks of the election, McDonald says he’s scheduled four other debates across the state; Rehberg has failed to commit to any.

Rehberg’s campaign manager, Evan Wilson, refutes the allegations that Rehberg has ducked debates. The congressman has visited all 56 counties on his own, Wilson says, hosting listening sessions for constituents.

“If Mr. McDonald was interested in having a real discussion about the issues rather than trying to generate press for his floundering campaign,” Wilson says, “he wouldn’t be riding his pony across Montana in the middle of October, two weeks before the election.”

McDonald, of course, sees the lastditch effort a little differently, preferring to maintain a more optimistic outlook in the ramp-up to Election Day. Despite the increased number of absentee ballots—the Secretary of State’s office reports receiving 40 percent of the 140,000 mailed already— McDonald hopes he and Rowboat may influence a few votes.

“And if I win,” McDonald says, “I just might keep riding all the way to Washington.”

Sorting through the alternatives this election season They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.

Somehow, given the choices and dire predictions for the upcoming elections, it would seem that American politics are now tipping on the very edge of insanity.

We continually shift one party or another out of power, both of whom are far too loyal to their corporate sponsors, and then we expect different outcomes. So, is the electorate, by definition, insane—or is it the political system?

There are plenty of good reasons for people to be angry, frustrated and dissatisfied in America today. Our unemployment figures haven’t budged from nearly 10 percent nationwide despite spending a trillion dollars bailing out banks, investment firms, automotive companies and insurance giants. Foreclosures continue to pile up at a record pace, tossing more people out of their homes and businesses every day. And of course we are still mired in two wars, maintaining 837 military bases worldwide and losing far more freedoms than we are gaining via our government’s continuing aggression in the domestic theater of the War on Terror.

It seems hard to believe that just two short years ago, the nation united behind the cry of “Hope and Change” and “Yes We Can” to put an eloquent and inspirational black man in the presidency and to give the Democrats solid majorities in both the House and Senate. Truly, after eight long years of George W. Bush, “change” was a powerful mantra to those grown tired of the lies, the secrecy, the insider deals and billions in “no-bid” contracts to friends of the Bush-Cheney administration. We were ready to try anything to change the course of our nation’s future as young and old rallied to bring a fresh face and, hopefully, better and more visionary and equitable policies to Washington.

Yet, as we all know, “change,” like so many things, is a lot easier to say than do.

This columnist, joining hundreds of others across the country, bemoaned the decision to simply declare single-payer health care reform “off the table” at the very outset of the national debate. Likewise, either someone pulled the teeth from the so-called “financial reform” bill or, perhaps from lack of actual enforcement capabilities, they simply fell out. And that says nothing about record-setting military budgets and huge personnel increases in Afghanistan while most predict we are losing that war and will eventually leave in defeat.

Added to these significant concerns by those who helped elect Obama and the

Page 10 October 21 – October 28, 2010

Democrats, are the continuation of numerous Bush policies that many find intolerable. Domestic spying, from all accounts, has increased, not decreased in the last two years. Building walled borders continues unabated, with the latest debacle being the laughable effort to spend mil-

We got the “same mystery meat hot dog in the same mealy bun, only now we’re supposed to believe that

”

it’s tube steak.

lions on the Whitetail border crossing, only to have the Canadians shut it down from their side. When we are told by our own Democratic senator that “the border is only as secure as its weakest link” it’s a pitiful excuse for further isolationism when we had hoped to engender vastly better relations with other nations— including our own great northern neighbor—instead of continuing the prickly aggressions and paranoia of the BushCheney administration.

Truly, the Democratic base—as well as the numerous Independents who voted for change—have not been well-served. We got the same mystery meat hot dog in the same mealy bun, only now we’re supposed to believe it’s tube steak. And so the Democrats are disenchanted, the Independents are abandoning Obama, and the dire predictions for the electoral outcomes clog the media all day, every day.

But what is our choice?

The Tea Party isn’t a party—it’s a collection of disgruntled people who, by and large, don’t much care for either Republicans or Democrats, but who are more likely to side with the Rs than the Ds

on major issues. Yet it is undeniably clear that there will be no Tea Party majority in the House or Senate, no matter what the elections bring. At best, those who run under the Tea Party banner may win some seats and, as predicted, will likely wind up being subsumed by the Republican Party caucus.

So what does that leave? Oh yeah, the Republicans. Now why on earth would anyone want to return the Republican Party to power given its recent track record? Who gobbled the Clinton surplus and replaced it with trillions of dollars in massive deficits that eventually led the nation into its worst economic recession in 80 years? Why, the Republicans—the same people who were elected on promises of fiscal conservatism and budgetary responsibility.

Who seriously decreased individual freedoms and privacy for America’s citizens? Once again, it was the Republicans.

Relegating habeus corpus to the junk heap of history, flying prisoners around the world to secret torture cells under the rubric of “extraordinary renditions,” destroying our international honor through Guantanamo’s inhumanity and implementing warrantless wiretapping and search and seizure? Yep, all fully accredited to the Republicans, despite their rhetorical promises to “get government off our backs.”

So what song are the Republicans singing now? Why, the only one they know: Democrats bad, Republicans good.

Democrats tax and spend, Republicans responsible. Democrats big government, Republicans limited government. We’ve heard it all before and we’d be plum nuts to dance to their fallacious tune again.

Tragically, it’s not because they deserve another chance, are promising new policies or will deliver on those promises. The Republicans are poised for a comeback for one simple reason: Voters are angry with Democrats.

But if we put Republicans back in power, isn’t that like doing the same thing over and over and expecting different outcomes? And isn’t that the definition of insanity? Sure it is. Which is one big reason to carefully consider the votes you cast in this election. Our political system certainly seems insane right now. But that’s no reason for all of us to follow suit.

Painful history This land was once Nez Perce land

by Rich Wandschneider

“Oregon is Indian Country” is the title of an exhibit that came to the Wallowa region of northeastern Oregon this fall. I live in the small town of Joseph, which was named for the chief of the Joseph Band of the Nez Perce Indians, who once lived here.

But there is no Nez Perce community here now, and the Nez Perce are not even one of the nine federally recognized tribes of Oregon, who co-sponsored the exhibit along with the state historical society.

How this came to be is a painful story. Much of this area was left to the Nez Perce by treaty in 1855, but gold seekers and settlers wanted the land, the Army threatened to attack and Chief Joseph reluctantly led his people out in the spring of 1877. They crossed the Snake River at high water, heading toward a reduced reservation with other Nez Perce bands on the Idaho side. But Joseph’s intended retreat became a war, a fighting flight that persisted through parts of Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. It ended at Bear Paw in Montana, just 40 miles short of the Canadian border, where Joseph made his famous speech, saying, “Hear me, my chiefs, my heart is sick and sad.

From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.” He asked leave to look for the surviving members of his scattered group of young and old, all hungry.

A new map from the U.S. Forest Service carefully follows this retreat, but it fails to show what happened afterward.

The surrendered Nez Perce were sent to Leavenworth Prison, and there were years of exile in land the Nez Perce still call the “hot country.” Over a hundred babies were born there; none survived. It also does not tell of the eventual return of the band by train to the Northwest and its division into two at Wallula, where the old and Christian were allowed to join the Nez Perce at Lapwai in Idaho, and the young—specifically Joseph’s followers—were sent to Nespelem in north-central Washington, to live among American Indians of different language and culture. The reconciliation of relatives continues today.

A few years later, in 1901, Joseph came back to the Wallowas with money in his pocket to buy land. Instead, he found newspapers railing against American Indians, and the locals refused to sell to Joseph. It is said that the old chief died of a broken heart in Nespelem in 1904.

A new “ map from the U.S. Forest Service carefully follows this retreat, but it fails to show what happened

”

afterward.

It was this tragic and dramatic Nez Perce story that captured Alvin Josephy, the late dean of Western American and Indian history. In his book, Now that the Buffalo’s Gone, Josephy explained that from colonial days, settlers and their descendents were convinced that Indians in their native state and Whites could not live together in peace: “If the Indian submitted, cut his hair, dressed like a White, lived like a White, became a Christian—in short, was assimilated and no longer an Indian—he might survive. Otherwise, he was to be pushed a safe distance away from White society [onto reservations], isolated and rendered harmless…or he was to be annihilated.”

According to Josephy, these three options ran thereafter like threads through the course of Indian-white relations. The assimilationist urge reached its zenith when the Eisenhower administration decided to solve the “Indian question” once and for all

by terminating all tribes with cash buyouts of old treaties. Ironically, according to the “Oregon is Indian Country” exhibit that now celebrates our tribal neighbors, Oregon led the way, with 62 of 109 national terminations—all of the western Oregon tribes—between 1954 and 1961.

The policy was later reversed, and Oregon tribes have been reinstated, though “confederated” into one or another of the nine recognized tribes. Confederation is a bureaucratic word that means uprooting and moving people from ground lived on from the beginning of time, forcibly making neighbors of people of different languages and cultures, as well as creating convenient administrative units for the government.

For the moment, as evidenced by the Oregon exhibit, American Indians and their culture now enjoy more favorable attitudes from the general population. American Indians are allowed to dance and drum openly—things once legally outlawed in attempts at assimilation and Christianization. There is a “powwow circuit,” with one held annually on land owned by an Indian-White nonprofit here in the Wallowas; we call it the “Homeland Project.”

Although the Nez Perce tribal government is headquartered in Idaho, and the exiled Nez Perce are governmentally part of the confederated tribes at Colville, Wash., the Idaho Nez Perce Tribe these days owns land in Oregon—“mitigation” land purchased with Bonneville Power money. And its tribal Fisheries and Wildlife departments work in Oregon under federal recognition of “usual and accustomed” places acknowledged in the 1855 treaty.

Of course, historically and traditionally, American Indians never owned this or any other land. Josephy reminds us that ownership of land and any dominion over it came with the Europeans. It was all Indian Country once.

I N OTHER N EWS Curious but true news items from around the world

CURSES, FOILED AGAIN - Police investigating a convenience store robbery in Ferndale, Mich., by a man wearing a plastic Darth Vader mask identified Jamie C. Hernandez, 41, as their suspect after the store’s surveillance camera clearly showed him putting on the mask before pulling a butcher knife on the clerk.

Albanian authorities arrested two men trying to drill a passageway into a bank vault from a store they had rented above it. The noise from the drilling alerted authorities, Tirana police chief Tonin Vocaj said, noting, “We moved in when they were in the last stages of finishing the tunnel.”

DANGERS OF NIGHT & DAY - Using artificial lighting at night increases the risk of insect-borne disease for humans, according to Brazilian researchers, who observed that light pollution alters human and insect interactions. The scientists concluded that nighttime lighting lets people stay outside longer, increasing their exposure to insects attracted to artificial lights, possibly because the lights signal the presence of humans. Even when disease-carrying insects don’t bite people directly, they may bite pets and animals that co-exist with humans and can pass along disease-causing parasites.

Solar rays bouncing off the gleaming glass of a Las Vegas high-rise hotel pose a risk of severe burns to people lounging at the pool. Local media, as well as some staff and guests at MGM Resorts International’s Vdara hotel and condominium, which opened last December, refer to the reflection off the concave-shaped building as the “death ray,” although MGM Resorts officials prefer the term “solar convergence phenomenon.” The firm installed high-tech solar film over each of the 3,000 glass panes covering the Vdara’s south façade, hoping to scatter the rays, but the concentrated sunlight remains hot enough at times to melt plastic and singe hair—and penetrate shade. “My back and the back of my legs started burning, and I ran under a nearby umbrella,” said William Pintas, 49, a Vdara condo owner who first encountered the death ray after a dip in the pool. “And I’m under the umbrella, and there is no shading from the light or heat.” Pintas, who happens to be a lawyer, said he could even smell his hair starting to burn.

Not everyone is unhappy about the situation, MGM Resorts official Gordon Absher reported. On cooler days, he has seen sunbathers deliberately lay their blankets on the convergence spot for additional warmth.

DRINKING-CLASS HERO - Anticipating a boost in space tourism, Australian researchers are hurrying to launch the world’s first beer to be certified for consumption in zero gravity. The beer, a joint venture by the space engineering firm Saber Astronautics Australia and Australian 4 Pines Brewing Company, is to begin testing on board Zero Gravity Corporation’s modified Boeing aircraft, which flies a series of parabolic arcs that simulate weightless environments. Flight crews will record data on the beer’s taste and its effects on the body.

Although NASA has sponsored studies on space beer and whether it can be brewed in space, current policy forbids alcohol consumption in the International Space Station. In 2006, the Japanese brewery Sapporo teamed up with Japanese and Russian researchers to create a beer, called Space Barley, brewed from barley grown from seeds that had flown for five months on the ISS. OVERREACTIONS - Police charged James Lee Frank, 49, with making terroristic threats and threatening to use weapons of mass destruction after he became upset with his son’s performance in elementary school and wanted to withdraw the boy from a certain class. Police said Frank called the school, located in West Sunbury, Pa., and threatened to blow it up and kill the staff. Officials immediately placed the school on lockdown and called state police, who found knives on the front seat of Frank’s car after he tried unsuccessfully to enter the building.

Kenneth E. Bonds, 45, admitted shooting a 17-year-old boy in the buttock because the youth refused to pull up his sagging pants. Police in Memphis, Tenn., said that Bonds yelled at the victim and a 16year-old companion to pull up their pants, then pulled a semiautomatic pistol from his waistband and fired one shot at the 17-year-old, missing him. The youths ran away, but Bonds fired more shots, one of which hit the victim.

MISSING THE MARK - The anti-abortion group Americans United for Life aired a political ad in Colorado that denounced Ken Salazar for supporting health care reform, claiming the measure would overturn a ban on taxpayer-funded abortions. Actually, Ken Salazar’s older brother, Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo., is running for re-election. Ken Salazar, a former U.S. senator, is the secretary of the interior.

As for the ban, President Barack Obama already signed an executive order affirming it.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee pulled a television ad opposing West Virginia senatorial candidate Gov. Joe Manchin III because it depicted the state’s residents as hicks. The ad, filmed in Philadelphia after a casting call seeking actors with a “hicky blue collar” look, shows men in flannel shirts and baseball caps posing as West Virginia voters worried that Manchin will side with President Obama if elected.

Heavy rains have ruined South Korea’s cabbage crop, causing a kimchi shortage that has driven up the price of the national dish and created a black-market cabbage trade. The city government of Seoul responded to the crisis with a kimchi bailout program, absorbing 30 percent of the cost of about 300,000 heads of cabbage that it bought from farmers. South Korea’s government announced a temporary reduction in tariffs on cabbage and radishes imported from China, although consumers fear a recurrence of a 2005 crisis, where Chinese-made kimchi products were contaminated by parasite eggs.

y virtue of being an ultra-marathoner who has run 50 miles in a day, it seems Dean McGovern has masochistic tendencies.

But then you learn he regularly runs barefoot, and the diagnosis is confirmed.

“If there’s anyone who’s not a likely barefooter, it would be me,” McGovern says as we jog side-byside down a trail in the Rattlesnake Recreation Area. “I mean, I swear, my mom probably had shoes on me before the doctor slapped my butt. I was a baby wearing shoes when I couldn’t even walk.”

He’s not running barefoot right now, but he might as well be. Black slipper-like shoes with compartments for each toe cover his feet like tight gloves, and he quietly glides along the trail ever mindful of sharp rocks. I, meanwhile, clomp along in my clunky sneakers, looking by comparison like I’m trying to drive those rocks into the ground.

McGovern began barefooting about a year ago, inspired by a book called Born to Run, a New York Times bestseller by Christopher McDougall that has become the barefooter’s bible since it came out in May 2009. The book, which examines an indigenous tribe in Mexico called the Tarahumara known for its endurance, and explores the science behind why humans run and how they can run more efficiently, takes everything you thought you knew about running and throws it out the window—your sneakers included.

Born to Run doesn’t necessarily make a case for barefoot running, but rather advocates minimal-

The indigenous Tarahumara (also called the Rarámuri, or “The Running People”) are known for their remarkable health and athletic ability.

And they’ll soon be running with one of the book’s main subjects, Micah True, better known as Caballo Blanco (White Horse in Spanish), an eccentric and nomadic gringo who for years has lived and run with the Tarahumara Indians in the Copper Canyons,

one of the most remote wildernesses in North America. Caballo Blanco arrives in Missoula next week to talk with runners about his story, the Tarahumara, and the book that has made him a running icon.

“My first takeaway from the book was not barefoot running,” says McGovern, his voice showing no signs of fatigue after running from his house to the trailhead and then about a mile on the trail. “It was to change your running style, learn how to run

correctly. And so I tried that. Basically the message was to use your forefoot as a spring, and don’t land on your heel.

“Heel striking does several things that are bad,” he continues. “It slows you down. It puts your knee in a compromised position, because you have to lock your knee or extend your knee in front of you.

And it also slams you into the ground with an incredible impact. And so the take-home for me wasn’t necessarily barefoot running, it was move from a heel strike to a mid- or forefoot strike. Land on the front of your foot, not the heel. And that just made so much sense to me.”

McGovern, 42, an assistant professor at the University of Montana in the department of health and human performance, says his new approach has benefited him in a number of ways. First, he’s developed a stronger arch—“one of the strongest structures in nature; it’ll support your body if it’s there.” Second, he’s revived and strengthened muscles in his calves he’d never used before, and in the process suffered through six weeks of nearly unbearable soreness.

“But once you break through that, it’s miraculous,” he says. “I don’t even know how to describe it.

“And I realized,” he continues, “that all the knee pain I had, all the hip pain, all the lower back strain, it’s gone. I’m certainly running slower, so I’m not breaking any records and I’m not racing as much, but I’m enjoying my running more, and I am getting faster. But I’m going to get faster in a differ-

letic shoe was invented by Nike, people ran in very thin-soled shoes, had strong feet, and had much lower incidence of knee injuries.”

Liberman’s words help answer the question McDougall begins the book with: “How come my foot hurts?” Unsatisfied with his doctor’s response—“The human body is not designed for that kind of abuse. Especially not your body”—McDougall embarks on a journey to Mexico’s Copper Canyons to learn from the “Superhuman serenity” Tarahumara (also called the Rarámuri, or “The Every day author Christopher McDougall’s Running People”), a tribe known for its inbox is stocked with e-mails from Born to remarkable health and athletic ability.

Run readers who found the book just the “In Tarahumara Land,” McDougall writes, tonic they needed to rediscover their running “there was not crime, war, or theft. There was selves. no corruption, obesity, drug addiction, greed, “They wanted to run,” he says in an interwife-beating, child abuse, heart disease, high view with the Independent. “They didn’t want blood pressure, or carbon emissions.

The Tarahumara’s “superhuman serenity” is them with pain. It’s like how animals are globe—including Missoula marathoner Dean McGovern— rivaled only by their propensity to party. trained. You put a shock collar on them. And to rethink how they run.

McDougall describes one account of a that’s basically what running injuries are.

“A lot of foot and knee injuries that are current- Tarahumara rave during which they got “so blitzed They’re a shock collar that make you really timid about just trusting yourself to run a little bit. And ly plaguing us are actually caused by people running that wives began ripping each others’ tops off in a then you present them with such a simple, logical, with shoes that actually make our feet weak, cause bare-breasted wrestling match…The husbands, us to over-pronate, give us knee problems,” Harvard meanwhile, gazed on in glassy-eyed paralysis.

I worked to build up speed under that old system, but I tore all that down and now I’m learning to run again.”

It turns out that the lessons of the Tarahumara teach much more than just how to run.

“The Tarahumara would party like this all night, then roust themselves the next morning to face off in a running race”—all wearing hand-made sandals— “that could last not two miles, not two hours, but two full days.”

Eventually, after taking both physical and mental cues from the Tarahumara (not to mention personal training from adventure-sports coach Eric Orton), McDougall overcame his nagging injuries.

By the end of the book he completes a 50-mile, 12hour ultra marathon in the sweltering Copper Canyons in 2006.

McDougall, a contributing editor for Men’s Health magazine, says working on the book transformed him from an injured and overweight grump into someone who’s currently training for marathons in New York and Singapore.

“Simply, it gave me back the use of my legs,” he says. “I don’t want to over-dramatize it. It wasn’t like I hopped out of a wheelchair or something. But for years I’ve been told that I’m exactly the kind of person who should not be running. And that made sense because I was always getting hurt. And here’s the difficulty: If you take an organism and prevent it from doing the activity it’s best at, that it’s most naturally suited for, then you see the decay that occurs.

Take a panda and put it in captivity, or a tiger, or any animal, and they start to have eating disorders and sexual dysfunctions and they can’t reproduce and they have mood swings and grouchiness. And that was basically—apart from the sexual dysfunction— me. I was this grouchy, fat pain in the ass.”

Next March, a group of four Missoula ultra-marathoners plan to run Caballo Blanco’s Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon, a 50-mile race in one of the most remote wildernesses in North America. McDougall describes the terrain as “a sort of shorebound Bermuda Triangle known for swallowing the misfits and desperadoes who stray inside.”

Micah True, better known as Caballo Blanco, has for years lived and run with the Tarahumara Indians in Mexico’s Copper Canyons. The eccentric and nomadic gringo made famous by the best-selling book Born to Run visits Missoula Oct. 27 for a “beer run” and presentation at the Wilma Theatre to benefit the Tarahumara.

The most important piece of coaching McDougall received, he says, came from his coach and reflected the approach of the Tarahumara. “If it feels like work,” he was told, “you’re working too hard.”

“The other side of it” I keep that mantra in mind as I head out for my first solo run since high school. Back then, I had to run two miles in under 14 minutes to qualify for the soccer team, a requirement I found torturous. But this feels different, partly because I just splurged on a pair of the same minimalist running shoes McGovern had worn on our run in the Rattlesnake— Vibram’s FiveFingers, which mimic true barefoot running.

McGovern had told me to take it slow. He recommended I run for about five minutes, and then stop or change shoes.

“You’ll notice, by default, you won’t land on your heel, and that’s the beauty of barefoot,” he said.

“If you’re buying into the notion that, biomechanically, you need to run differently, then barefoot is just a tool to get you there. Barefooting isn’t the goal. Barefooting helps you maintain the gait that you want to maintain.”

By staying off my heel, the idea is that my feet, toes and knees will align, my back will straighten and my hands will rise. I’d no longer pound myself into the ground. McGovern had said barefoot running reminded him of when he was a kid running

Missoula Independent

Page 16 October 21 – October 28, 2010

through hotel hallways, sort of tiptoeing and sprinting at the same time.

I tiptoe out my backdoor and jog to a park only about a quarter-mile away. McGovern’s right—the shoes force me to stay on my forefoot and off my heel. And I find myself much more aware of where my feet are landing to avoid any rocks or debris that would hurt my un-calloused, flat feet. It certainly feels more natural than running in sneakers, but, by the time I reach the park, my lower calves are screaming. McGovern wasn’t kidding.

“One of the things that’s happened since the book,” McGovern said, “is all these people have gone out and started barefoot running. They got excited, they bought these,” motioning to his FiveFingers, “and they’re actually hurting themselves because they’re not taking it slowly. If they’re a 25- to 30-milea-week kind of person, they take their shoes off and try to maintain that, and if they’re like me, their feet aren’t ready for it. Your feet and your legs are not ready for that. You’ve got to build up.”

Even if runners do slowly build up, Anders Booker, owner of Runner’s Edge in downtown Missoula, says the transition can still lead to injury.

“We’re seeing a lot of people trade one set of injuries for another set of injuries,” he says. “The person who reads Born to Run and goes out and buys maybe the FiveFingers the very next day and decides, ‘Hey, these guys can run barefoot and I’m going to do it, too,’ after a couple weeks they feel good and after a couple months they feel good, and

then we’re seeing metatarsal stress fractures and broken bones and things like that that we didn’t see as much of before. That’s the other side of it. That’s the issue.”

Booker finds that many runners who experiment with the skimpiest of shoes see the pendulum swing back a bit.

“Our goal,” he says, “is to get people to transition smartly. What we’ve seen is the person who did transition, they went all the way down to a FiveFingers or a racing flat, and then they came back up. They said, ‘I like the idea. I like being more efficient. But, I’m finding a happy medium here.’”

Runners at the University of Montana are part of the trend, too.

“I don’t even know that you want to call it a trend,” says Brian Schweyen, UM’s director of track and field. “I think it’s more of a movement.”

In the last year, he says, UM running coaches have put a greater emphasis on barefoot training, often conducting workouts in the grass. Schweyen now sees more and more athletes buying the minimalist shoes.

“More support isn’t solving injury problems,” he says, “it’s creating more weakness.”

Schweyen goes so far as to say his athletes have seen lower incidences of shin splints and knee problems since they’ve begun training in their bare feet.

UM coach Courtney Babcock, a two-time Canadian champion in the 5,000 meters, says she’s incorporated barefoot running into her athletes’ training regimen, but only to a degree.

“I only let people who have worked up to it and done it before do that kind of training,” she says. “I think it’s an interesting concept and it makes sense in theory, but I think it’s one of those things you really have to work into, because we’re not accustomed to running in bare feet. You obviously don’t want to go run three miles if you’ve never done that before.”

At least one of Babcock’s runners who has embraced minimalism to strengthen her foot and lower leg muscles appears to have benefited.

“She was able to qualify for nationals last year, which isn’t necessarily related to that, but I think it did help her with some of her form and technique,” Babcock says.

“We exchanged a few e-mails with Caballo,” Wishcamper wrote in a Run Wild Missoula newsletter, “and before we knew it, Caballo was quoting Frank Zappa about coming to Montana to be a dental floss tycoon. The deal was done.”

The day after Caballo Blanco arrives in Missoula he’ll visit with the Runner’s Edge book club about Born to Run. Then, on Oct. 27, at 6 p.m., he’ll lead Run Wild Missoula’s monthly “beer run.” It’ll be a five-mile jaunt from the Wilma Theatre down the

Others have taken the idyllic portrayal much farther than McDougall did, Caballo Blanco says.

“I saw this Discovery Channel movie recently…and it’s just a crock of b.s.,” he says. “It just talks about these superhuman beings who regularly run 400 miles in a shot. It’s just a bunch of crap. These things don’t do the Rarámuri any favors.”

Caballo Blanco recognizes that Born to Run has inspired the minimalism movement, but quickly points out the irony in its commercialization.

“I haven’t decided yet whether I’m going to enter as a horse or a man,” the so-called White Horse jokes, “but I heard that at the check-up points for the horses they’ve got big thermometers, so I’ll probably go as a man.”

“Swallowing the misfits”

When I was running with McGovern in the Rattlesnake, we coincidentally ran into Wishcamper.

Although Wishcamper doesn’t ascribe to the barefoot movement—“With my feet, I just can’t do it,” he explains—he and McGovern run just about every day. In fact, the two have teamed up with friends Kevin Twidwell and Kiefer Hahn (winner of two of the last three Missoula Marathons) to train for Caballo Blanco’s Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon next March.

The race is one of the ultimate tests of human endurance. In Born to Run McDougall describes the region, known as the Barrancas, as “a sort of shorebound Bermuda Triangle known for swallowing the misfits and desperadoes who stray inside.”

“Lots of bad things can happen down there,” he writes, “and probably will; survive the man-eating jaguars, deadly snakes, and blistering heat, and you’ve still got to deal with ‘canyon fever,’ a potentially fatal freakout brought on by the Barrancas’ desolate eeriness. The deeper you penetrate into the Barrancas, the more it feels like a crypt sliding shut around you. The walls tighten, shadows spread, phantom echoes whisper; every route out seems to end in sheer rock. Lost prospectors would be gripped by such madness and despair, they’d slash their own throats or hurl themselves off cliffs.”

What concerns McGovern more than the supposed man-eating jaguars is the lack of water. One of the more dramatic scenes in Born to Run follows two world-class ultramarathoners who find themselves out of water in the desert-like Barrancas and resort to drinking from a pool of “black mud and green scum, buzzing with flies and churned by wild goats and burros.”

“The biggest thing that I can’t get out of my head is the water problem,” McGovern says. “That’s the thing that’s got me spooked, and if anything’s keeping me up at night, that’s the thing—what we’re going to do about water. We haven’t quite cracked that code yet.”

Water issues aside, the foursome seems to Photo by Chad Harder be largely taking the daunting challenge in stride, and maintaining a focus on training. In “It’s about running free” Rick Wishcamper, another avid local run- McGovern’s running shoe of choice has become Vibram’s FiveFingers, which mimics true barefoot run- March, they, along with another dozen or so ner, helped coordinate Caballo Blanco’s ning. “You’ll notice, by default, you won’t land on your heel, and that’s the beauty of barefoot,” he says.

Carrots love garlic FLASHINTHEPAN Just when you thought you could finally escape the garden, it’s already time to plant garlic. This rite of autumn has been an important event in my gardening season for years, but this past summer the garlic patch became more crucial than ever. That’s because I devised a method to make the garlic patch grow a bunch of other crops, too, without any loss of garlic production. I call my method: “hurling random seeds at garlic patch.”

This is more than just a horticultural parlor trick. When you grow as much garlic as I do, that patch takes a lot of garden space, leaving precious little ground for all the other goodies one might wish to grow. Intercropping other crops with garlic substantially increases the yield from however much ground you’ve got to work with.

Last April, I gathered the seeds from countless half-empty seed packets and plastic bags, and combined these seeds in a bowl. I tossed handfuls of this mix into the young garlic patch, hoping some of the plants would take hold. Throughout the summer I repeated this procedure with newly acquired seeds— mostly carrots, because I had a feeling they’d work well. The little plants took hold wherever the conditions were favorable, and grew in the shade of garlic plants and each other. The seedlings had plenty of water since I irrigate my garlic like a maniac.

By harvest time my garlic crop was as big and healthy as usual, but in between those plants the ground was carpeted with edible quantities of lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, escarole, radicchio, beets, squash, broccoli and amaranth. After I harvested the garlic in July, the spawn of those hurled seeds switched into high gear, their status on the ecological ladder having switched from shaded understory to full-sun canopy.

The post-garlic garden became a dense and diverse ecosystem, easy on the eyes as well as the belly. Harvesting from this garden was an act of gathering as much as gardening, and gave an element of surprise to every harvesting adventure. Over the course of the summer, many plants, like spinach, escarole, lettuce and amaranth, went to seed, ensuring new generations will be ready to come up next year if I let them.

Of all the post garlic plants it was the carrots that stole the show. They grew to be monsters, as sweet

by ARI LeVAUX

Above ground, garlic and carrots complement each other nicely in the kitchen as well—something demonstrated with savory elegance by carrot mayonnaise. Although it’s not a true mayonnaise, carrot mayo fulfills the basic requirement of mayo: namely, if you put it on food, food will taste better. This year, thanks to my garlic patch and the vigorous carrot crop it produced, I’m going to make a lot of that sweet orange creamy goodness.

To make it, first slice your carrots into inch-size chunks. Bake them at 300 degrees, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, until they’re lightly browned.

Remove, and while they cool add a quarter cup of oil (I prefer olive or safflower) to a blender, along with as many cloves of garlic as suits you, and blend. As

soon as the carrot chunks are cool enough to work with, add them to the blender and blend until smooth. The hotter the chunks, the more they will cook the raw garlic, which mellows it. Depending on how much carrot you’re working with, add oil as necessary so the contents of the blender keep a viscous vortex as the blades whirl.

When you’re done adding carrots, keep blending as you season with salt and pepper and, if you wish, herbs like oregano or marjoram. Your carrot mayo is now ready. Spread it on bread. Dip chips in it. Or wallop a dollop onto your plate beside the main event. Whatever you do with it, your carrot mayo will soon be gone, and your first bite should provide enough incentive to plan your own garlic patch garden ecosystem. If so, then it’s time to start breaking ground.

Cultivated properly, any garlic clove can grow into a whole bulb. So the first step in garlic growing is to locate some bulbs of garlic you think will flourish in your area. The farmers’ market is a good place to find proven local varieties and compare the characteristics you want. I look for garlic that grows into big bulbs with a small number of cloves per bulb (six at most). And I like my cloves to peel easily.

Generally planted in October or November, garlic will sprout roots in fall and begin its upward journey in spring. Garlic is a heavy feeder, so it will need good soil with plenty of nitrogen and organic material.

Carefully break your bulbs into individual cloves, leaving the paper on and making sure the scabby plate at the bottom of each clove remains intact—the edge of that scab will sprout the roots.

Plant the cloves an inch deep, scab side down, six inches apart. Then mulch your patch with a couple inches of straw (not hay, which contains seeds). The mulch will insulate the garlic through winter and help the soil retain moisture.

I used to leave the mulch on all spring and let the garlic sprouts push through it, but now I pull the mulch off in March to let the ground warm up in preparation for hurling seeds in April. This spring I’ll hurl about half of the patch in carrots, while conducting more random hurling trials in the other half.

Until then, I’ll be planting garlic, flipping through seed catalogs, and eating carrot mayo.

Clearly, the carrots didn’t seem to mind the garlic.

And based on my garlic crop, the feeling appears to be mutual. The lush carrot foliage shaded the ground between the garlic plants, acting as a living mulch to prevent evaporation from the soil, while underground, the carrot roots and garlic bulbs seemed to leave each other alone.

ASKARI Game on Dear Flash, Football season is underway. I’ve read about—and tried—your beer butt chicken for a tailgate party. It’s great, but for me football and fall means chili. I like it spicy and I like it with more meat and veggies than beans.

Knowing that, give me your best recipe for a future game day.

—Tailgate Quarterback

Q

Careful, T.Q. Some folks get a little touchy when you start talking about veggies in chili. Sure, chili pods are vegetables, as are the garlic and onions the chili is seasoned with. But trust me, somewhere, some trigger-happy purist is going to think you want to put broccoli in chili. And there are even some who will give me grief for suggesting putting potatoes in my chili, which I’m about to do.

Whatever. All you haters need a chili pill.

Start by browning some chunks of meat and soaking some dried chile pods in warm chicken stock. When the meat is brown, combine it with

A

Missoula Independent

chopped onions and garlic and oil in a hot pan.

Then add chopped potatoes. Add wine and water until you have an appropriate amount of liquid relative to your solids—just remember if it’s really brothy you’ll want to add more stock and/or salt.

When the chiles are soft, pull the tops off and scoop out as many of the seeds and inner membranes as necessary given the hotness of your chile and the toughness of your crowd. Put the soggy chiles in a blender with garlic and enough of the soaking stock to make it blend easily. Add the resulting red slurry to the pot. Taste, season with salt, pepper and garlic salt.

Taste again and re-season as necessary.

If you do want the option of beans in your chili, do what they do in New Mexico and cook them separately. I do it in the oven, with water and garlic salt. Add the baked beans to your chili as you see fit.

SPOTLIGHT folk fever Things are looking up for David Boone. Way up, in fact. The local folk singer/songwriter recently cowrote a song for a soon-to-be released Honda motorcycle commercial, and another one of his tunes will be on the soundtrack to Beautiful Wave— a feature film about surfing in California starring Aimee Teegarden of NBC’s “Friday Night Lights.”

Of course, if you’re familiar with Boone, you know this is par for the course. He’s an ambitious guy. For example, back in 2007, in celebration of his album A Tale of Gold, Boone held a CD release concert at the Wilma Theatre that featured 17 local musicians onstage, plus a dance performance and a photography exhibit.

Still, Saturday’s gig isn’t just a showcase of Boone’s music. It also serves as a kickoff to a documentary that Boone is participating in titled History: The Making of a Folk Album. An impressive project in size and scope, the film will document Boone over the next several months as he creates his new album—which will be recorded on the spot at various historical locations around Montana, like Garnet Ghost Town. You’ll hear many of the tracks slated for the album on Saturday, and Boone says these songs

Here’s something else you should know: The documentary film crew will be shooting footage at Saturday’s show, and they want you to be part of the action. Specifically, they want you to record Boone’s concert on your cell phone or hand held camera. After the show, you can upload what you shot to Boone’s Facebook fan page, and if the filmmakers like what they see, it just might be included in the film.

SPOTLIGHT slayin’ effects As fun as it is to see a fountain of fake blood spurting from a severed hand or bludgeoned head in a horror flick, sometimes it pays to keep it minimal and cheap.

Such is the case with Wisconsin Project X, a new stylized horror film by Stevensville resident and Missoula Community Access Television (MCAT) veteran Christian Ackerman.

The film was recorded on a small digital camcorder, and produced entirely with items that could only be found on hand—including ketchup for blood, duct tape for special makeup effects and baby powder for gunshots and explosions. The results are pretty impressive, thanks to a mixture of deft editing, simple but effective film effects and skillful sound design.

The plot centers on an experiment gone horribly wrong at a lab in a fictional town called Wisconsinville, Montana. A scientist named Dr. Winston (MCAT’s Joel Baird) tries to create a new

preservative, but inadvertently creates a breed of humanoid zombies. Soon enough, the freaks break free from the lab, and Wisconsinville feels the wrath.

But a crew of locals, which includes a cast featuring Ackerman and his friends and family, fights back— with hammers and shotguns in hand.

Ackerman, perhaps best known as the guy who plays “The Mime” during First Night Missoula, should already be well known to many local-centric cinema heads—he’s the man behind a slew of local DIY films like Zombie Spoof and Catastrophic Denouement, the latter of which won an award from the 2003 Hometown Video Festival.

Time warped MAT’s Rocky Horror sluts welcome in the virgins

by Bob Wire

I lost my virginity Sunday night. Oh, it was the typical lose-your-virginity story: there was humiliation, alcohol, a sworn oath of commitment, performance anxiety and a blood-red smear. And there was a loud popping noise.

Also, I did it with eight other people in front of a cheering crowd.

No, I’m not talking about something as pedestrian as heterosexual intercourse (that story involves a Sears junior sleeping bag and three pilfered cans of Miller Lite). I’m talking about the Montana Actors’ Theatre’s (MAT) recent

and embarrassing “devirgination” ritual, along with everyone else who was seeing the movie for the first time.

Scantily clad members of MAT lined us up, slashed a red lipstick ‘V’ on our foreheads and made us clutch our junk while we recited the “Rocky Horror Pledge” (“I pledge allegiance to the lips…”). Then, with a finger pop from our mouths and a swat on the ass from Phantom Camille Perry, our cherries were declared busted.

Having seen neither play nor movie, I was the perfect cipher, and the object of lots of attention from the Rocky

workshop for Rocky Horror Show virgins. The workshop held at the Crystal Theatre included a screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show in order to teach us newbies the proper behavior expected of Rocky Horror audiences in preparation for MAT’s live musical this weekend at the Wilma Theatre. The play—if you don’t know—is a songand-dance filled, gender-bending romp featuring a crossdressing hunchback, a pair of innocent lovers lost in the forest (literally and sexually), a zombie delivery boy, and a “Sweet Transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania.” The 1975 film version drops a couple of songs, and has special visual effects that are so cheesy they make Monty Python animation look like Avatar.

My introduction to the Rocky Horror Show cult started when I was dragged out of the audience at the workshop, branded as a virgin, and forced to undergo the silly

girls. Sexuality is the overarching theme of Rocky Horror, and these MAT women went all out, from their sleek and sexy lingerie and stockings to their stage-ready makeup and provocative posturing. The operative word was cleavage, and there were miles of it. One actress’ generous breasts threatened to overflow the top of her bustier, and another girl lamented that her push-up bra wasn’t pushing hard enough. They were all self-confident veterans of the Rocky Horror style, acting delightfully bawdy and downright raunchy all night. For this old married fart, who can be sexually satisfied by squeezing into a parking space, it was a little intimidating. And I loved every minute of it.

“We wanted to have a teaser,” says Mikyla Rae Veis, marketing director for MAT. The live performance, she tells me, is way better than the movie. “The audience participation element is heightened; they’re like another character.

You can’t hold back if you want to be in the audience.”

The play is more of a two-way street, and actors respond to the audience, she says. The unpredictability of a live performance is part of the excitement. But it is most definitely not for kids. Or for the narrow-minded. “It’s very sexually driven, so you have to be comfortable with yourself to go,” she says.

After I’d been properly devirginized, I took my seat and opened my goodie bag. Lacking any sort of Rocky Horror reference points, I was mystified by the contents: uncooked rice, a noisemaker, loose playing cards, a length of toilet paper, a section of newspaper and a water pistol. We also got a cheat sheet listing the props and their significance to the movie. Another sheet gave us the lines to yell (“call backs”) at certain points. These were things like yelling “Asshole!” whenever Brad’s name is mentioned, or yelling “Slut!” at the mention of Janet.

As with any cult movie, the more times you’ve seen it, the more lines you know by heart—just ask any unfortunate soul who’s ever watched Animal House with me. At this particular screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, local theater maven/actress/musician Rebecca Sporman kept up a near-constant barrage of crisply timed salvos from the projection booth. Her X-rated, disembodied lines frequently had the audience cracking up, while the gathered Phantoms sat on the steps near the screen up front, adding their own blowjob/masturbation/orgasm/ elbow-sex jokes throughout the movie.

Last year’s MAT production in Missoula—a makeor-break triumph—was fellow-attendee Sara Vilhuber’s first Rocky Horror Show, and she was hooked.

“We liked it so much we went back the next night,” she says.

Just before the movie started, someone handed me a pint of Bayern and Vilhuber began to explain the intricacies of the audience participation. I’d filled my water pistol at the men’s room sink, and was ready to squirt when Brad and Janet exited their broken-down car into the rainstorm. I neglected to cover my head with newspaper (note to self: next time use a pen with waterproof ink), but managed to wet down half the audience without spilling my beer. Vilhuber was proud.

They had us all stand up to do the “Time Warp,” and as I jumped to the left then stepped to the right, I imagined a thousand tarted-up, fishnet-wearing Rocky freaks pelvic thrusting in the Wilma, slurping down cocktails, throwing toast and raining down rice on each other. It’s going to be surreal. And it will rock—the production features a live band, with musicians from Reverend Slanky and other popular local outfits cranking out that great Rocky Horror soundtrack.

Finally, the king and/or queen of all midnight movies ended. We applauded and gathered our coats, brushing off the rice. I felt only slightly violated. Before we left, leggy blonde Phantom Hannah Paton reminded us to get tickets for the upcoming performances, adding, “Come to the midnight shows if you want to see boobies!”

Hey, why not. It is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, after all.

The Meligrove Band Shimmering Lights Last Gang Records

The Meligrove Band earns a lot of comparisons to Tokyo Police Club. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit odd, given that the group is older than its Canadian brethren by almost 10 years.

But fair enough: Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both Ontario acts that produce energetic pop albums. To my ear, however, The Meligrove Band is a little bit darker, a little bit more subdued and a little bit more reflective. In short, you can hear those extra years in the music.

Not that this is rocking chair music. No, sir.

The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth album has its rowdy moments sometimes approaching dangerously close to rambunctious.

Primarily a guitar-driven album with plenty of

Later on, I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Huh. Sounds like Arcade Fire.â&#x20AC;? This occurred several more times, each one reminiscent of a different group. It was enough to induce cognitive whiplash. Where the Messengers Meet wears its influences on its sleeve.

Koshir

White Girl Diaries Wapikiya Records

Hip-hop production is no longer unheard of here in the hinterlands, but Koshirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut on Missoulabased Wapikiya Records still caught me by surprise. In a college town between Portland and Minneapolis, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame me for expecting some poetry slam graduateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lefty underground rap. What we have here is bona fide macho-juvenile gangsta rap. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not bad, if you can get past the amateurish skits and dumb boy humor. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be more critical (and believe me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m critical) of the gratuitous homophobia and the weird gynophobia if the rhymes were weak or the delivery sloppy, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the case.

support from keys and warbled stabs of synth, the strongest songs are all but guaranteed to make you wiggle one appendage or another to the beat in a publicly embarrassing display.

Although the record is not necessarily dark as a rule, it does benefit from grounding moments of gravity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bones Attack!!â&#x20AC;?, for instance, might have come across as cutesy were it not for a weird dash of morbidity. Like the oft-compared Tokyo Police Club, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty to bob your head to here. It just bobs with less reckless abandon.

Not that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessarily a bad thing. Those many styles are backed up by reliably solid instrumentation, with lots of skittering guitar and strings that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t soar so much as rumble ominously. Frontman Benjamin Verdoes gets full use out of his vocal range, sometimes singing in a thin whisper and other times wailing like a banshee receiving a root canal. The sheer variety of styles on display, however, leads to a somewhat inconsistent overall experience.

Based on the merits of Where the Messengers Meet, I like the band. I like the superb musicianship. I like the occasional eloquence in the songwriting. But this is one group still searching for its own sound. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if, a few years down the line, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll listen to other bandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; albums and think, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Huh. Sounds like Mt.

Many of his paintings clarity while standing in his leathers at the Anaconda echo some of his early quiet still lifes but they’re a little racetrack. Over the last 20 years he’d spent most of wilder now, with large, sky-filled landscapes dotted with his free time drag racing, attending national all- old and new curiosities. It’s not the “buckskin-and-blackHarley events in Montana, Washington and Oregon, power” school of Western art, as LaRance calls it, but a and often winning money. His day job as a graphic more modern landscape with a romantic and nostalgic designer in Missoula had given him a thick resume twist: Concoco gas signs and neon bar lights stand sidewith top-shelf gigs including work for industrialist by-side with grass prairies and clear blue skies. He paints Dennis Washington for whom he’d designed aircraft cowgirls at service stations and roadside oddities like the paint jobs and managed brand images.

Anybody can be a drag racer.

I’m an artist.”

Twenty years earlier, LaRance had been a respected artist around Montana, painting nostalgic scenes of cowboy hats, classic car dashboards, rodeos and bacon and coffee breakfasts. In 1990 he’d had a two-man show with renowned Taos artist Ace Powell at the Hockaday Museum of Art in Steve LaRance’s “Local Hero” is one of a dozen paintings he’ll be Kalispell, and, later that year, a showing at the Dana Gallery. “Anybody can be a drag racer,” says the local gearhead. “I’m an artist.” group show at the Yellowstone A r t G a l l e r y c a l l e d Po s t Westerns.

Brief dystopia Never Let Me Go should hold on a bit longer

by Dave Loos

Listen up, because you won’t hear me say this about a film very often: Never Let Me Go—a movie that promotes itself as a drama in which the three main characters must “confront their feelings of love, jealousy and betrayal that threaten to pull them apart”—is not long enough. I’m hesitant to complain about this because, far too often, filmmakers add a scene where one should be deleted, or simply lose their ability to edit scenes that don’t keep the story moving along.

(The film that comes to mind here is 2012, which I finally saw last month and which clocks in at an aston-

Never Let Me Go evolves. There are so many questions about how a society could allow this to happen, but the film rightly proceeds without really answering any of them. It just is—that’s all we need to know, and it allows the filmmakers to proceed with the strange love triangle that develops during these adolescent years.

It’s a young teenage drama we’ve seen before: Kathy likes Tommy. Tommy likes Kathy, but then Ruth enters the picture and steals Tommy away. Kathy pretends like this okay. All three remain friends.

When we next see the trio it is seven years later

ishing 158 minutes, regressing from “fun and dumb action movie” to “atrocious waste of time” during the final hour.)

Like 2012, Never Let Me Go is a science fiction film, though you’re going to need binoculars to find it on the other end of the sci-fi spectrum. It is smart, subtle and deeply disturbing. It also asks a lot of its audience as we follow the main characters during three periods of their life between 1978 and 1994. The ambition is admirable, but to build the tension and make us believe in the complex relationships on screen needed more than 103 minutes. This best explains why, when a young man looks up to the night sky and screams his heart out to no one in particular during a wrenching climatic scene, I feel for him, and I want to believe it, but I’m not quite there. And this, unfortunately, is also why the critically acclaimed book by Kazuo Ishiguro on which the movie is based (which I haven’t read) may be the better choice if you’re deciding between the two mediums.

We meet Kathy, Ruth and Tommy as adolescents at a British boarding school, where it’s quickly clear that all is not normal. Everything feels a bit off, from the electronic monitoring devices to the stilted dialogue and obsession with staying healthy. So odd and robotic is the behavior that I initially assumed that the kids were in fact some form of artificial intelligent beings.

The truth, as we slowly learn during this first act, is far worse. I’m not giving away anything when I tell you the children are parent-less clones—genetic copies of junkies, prostitutes and prisoners—who were created for one reason: to donate their organs. This is explained to the strangely unemotional children via a distraught teacher who tells them that none of them will live past young adulthood. They will eventually be scheduled for a series of donations, the last of which will result in “completion,” the film’s eerie and oftenused euphemism for death.

This is the dystopia of a recent past from which

and the young adults are in a purgatory of sorts, living their lives with some independence while awaiting the inevitable “scheduling.” At one point we finally get a peek into the donation process, where the willing patients are never sure which operation will be their last. And it’s about at that this point that I scribbled, “This is really effed-up,” in my notebook.

Kathy (Carey Mulligan), who narrates the story as a young 20-something, becomes a “carer,” tending to those in the donation process while waiting for her own day to come. Ruth (Keira Knightley) and Tommy (Andrew Garfield) are still a couple, but for how long?

By the time we reach the final act, in 1994, all three have drifted apart.

It is hard to escape the sadness here, and nothing is worse than the acceptance with which Kathy, Ruth and Tommy live their lives. They have been conditioned since birth to accept their fate in this world, knowing they are but a means for others to live longer and healthier lives. The most heart-wrenching aspect of it all is that no one ever even considers running away.

This is who they are. Society has decided that donors lack souls and are therefore dispensable, and the logic that somehow a clone isn’t really human is…well, you know the adjective I’m looking for.

Mulligan is the most brilliant as a young woman all too resigned to her fate, yet hopeful for a temporary reprieve in the form of a deferral that she believes is possible. Director Mark Romanek somehow manages to make this final act concurrently calm and frantic, using the inevitability of the situation to create palpable tension as old relationships die and new ones emerge.

In the end, well, I wanted to believe the angst. Another 20 minutes is all it would have taken.

PUTTING THE SPARK PLUGS IN THE RELATIONSHIP Five years ago, My Love and I shared our first kiss. Since then, we’ve been seeing each other three times a week for an hour. We spend this hour in his truck being intimate. We love each other. We talk about getting married, how we’ll spend our retirement years, where we’ll live, what our lives will be like. Unbidden, he promised that last year’s Christmas would be the last we’d spend apart, that our life together would begin this year.

I’ve been ready for this step for three years. But, as the months fly by, he speaks less of this, and I’m increasingly despondent that we’ve wasted another year. We’re both married to other people. Neither of us has children. I know our lives are complicated, but doesn’t it come down to knowing what you want?

Should I wait to see if he will be true to his promise?

—Waiting For My Love

SLOSHED IN TRANSLATION I’m a man who was deeply disturbed by your advice for “Not A Player” to “get some drinks in a girl” as a way to make moves on her. For my job, I took a class on preventing sexual assault, and learned that most sexual assaults include alcohol use by the assailant or victim. Your advice normalized the calculated use of alcohol in dating. I’m hoping you’ll rethink this and run a correction.

—Frustrated Reader I wrote, “Get some drinks in a girl, then casually touch her arm a few times,” not “casually rape her in the alley.” The guy signed himself “Not A Player” because he has all the mojo of a lost kitten. My worry wasn’t that he’d date rape the girl, but that he’d end the evening by giving her a little wave and running away. Yes, alcohol is often involved in sexual assaults. A knife can be used to cut an apple or mug your granny. People don’t do bad things because they have access to a particular substance or implement, but because they’re people who do bad things. I didn’t invent the use of alcohol in dating, and I don’t write as if people reading me are stupid. Countless people drink on dates every day without any need for prosecutor involvement. They do exactly what this guy needs to do: Have a couple beers with a girl so he’ll have the guts to kiss her, and so she’ll be relaxed enough to be kissed (and by “relaxed” I mean so she’s giggly, not so she’s unconscious).

Men sometimes make extravagant gestures for love. Heathcliff wandered the moors calling Cathy’s name until he froze to death. King Edward VIII ditched the throne to marry Wallis Simpson. Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal as an “elegy in marble” to his late wife. And then there’s your guy, who has yet to spring for sheets, pillowcases and a headboard.

Sorry, but you don’t have a relationship; you have sex in a guy’s truck. You can call the guy “My Love,” but he’s given you no reason to believe he’ll make good on his promise to take your relationship to the next level (the sidewalk?) by Christmas 2010—or Groundhog Day 2020. You know very well that this is one of the oldest stories in the world. Yeah, sure, he’ll leave his wife for you. Eventually. When the time is right. When the moon is in the seventh house, and dogs fly and pigs read aloud from the encyclopedia.

Your guy has the wheels; the thing that’s stopping him from speeding to a divorce lawyer is probably the same thing that always has: any need whatsoever to do it. Five years in, you have yet to demand (or even ask) that he leave his wife—let alone hop out of the truck and take you to Denny’s. And sorry to say it, but other women walk away with $50 for the service you’re providing.

What do you go home with, more pretty talk about how you’ll spend your retirement years? (Lemme guess: feeding the meter?)

Not surprisingly, you spin this in the way that protects your ego: This is your great love, not pretty good sex in a WalMart parking lot. The truth is, you don’t even know the guy outside the confines of the truck cab. Clinging to your fantasy future with him allows you to duck the looming questions in your present: What do you have with your husband, and should you try to repair your marriage or get out? Be honest about your situation and what you need to do. That’s how you might someday have a Love who makes good on his promises—and not just the easy ones, like moving a little to the side so you won’t go back to the office with “Built Ford Tough” pressed into your left calf.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

EMPLOYMENT

By Rob Brezsny PROFESSIONAL ARIES (March 21-April 19): “There’s one ultimate goal during sex,” says Cosmopolitan magazine, a renowned source of erotic guidance for women. That is “to be as sensually stimulated as possible.” I don’t quite agree with that assessment. Having emotionally pleasing fun should also be an important consideration, as well as creating a playful ambiance and invoking spiritual grace. But sensual stimulation is good, too. So what, in the view of Cosmopolitan, is the key to cultivating maximum bliss? “Having lots of steamy info at your disposal.” That’s definitely sound advice for you right now, Aries. You’re in a favorable phase for finding out more about everything that will enhance your access to delight, including the sexual kind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When the tide is coming in, the creek I live next to flows vigorously toward the south. When the tide’s going out, the water reverses its course and heads swiftly north. Every day, there’s an in-between time when the creek seems confused. Some currents creep south and others slink north, while here and there eddies whirl in circles. According to my understanding of the astrological omens, Taurus, you are temporarily in a phase that resembles my creek’s time of contrary flows. It’s a perfectly natural place to be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In fifth grade I was in love with Calley, who was the by far prettiest girl in the school. Sadly, she didn’t return my affection, so I had to be content with adoring her from afar. Eventually I moved away and lost touch. Since then I’ve wondered if she suffered the fate that befalls too many gorgeous women: relying so entirely on her looks to make her way in the world that she never developed many skills. But recently I tracked Calley down via Google and discovered that she had beaten the curse: She has carved out a career as an activist bringing first-rate education to poor children. My question to you is this, Gemini: Are there any qualities you regarded as assets earlier in your life but that eventually turned into liabilities? Any strengths that became weaknesses? And what are you doing to adjust? It’s a good time to address these themes.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Think back to the last half of 1998. What was going on in your life back then? According to my astrological projections, you were probably carrying out experiments in a wild frontier…or getting your mind rearranged by rousing teachings and provocative revelations…or breaking through artificial limits that had been quashing your freedom…or all of the above. Now you’ve come around again to a similar phase of your grand cycle. Are you ready for action? If you’d like to gather up all the grace flowing in your vicinity, start having fun with escapes, experiments, and expansions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I wish I treated my feet with the same tender loving care as I do my face,” wrote Catherine Saint Louis in The New York Times. “But I don’t.” She quotes a study that says more than half of all women are embarrassed about their feet, and notes that Facebook has many “I Hate Feet” groups. You Leos can’t afford to be under this spell right now. Even more than usual, it’s crucial for you to be well-grounded. So I suggest you maneuver yourself into a state of mind where earthiness is beautiful and appealing to you. Find ways to celebrate your body and improve your relationship with it. How to start? Love your feet better.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): At this phase of my life, I’m not canvassing door-to-door asking people to donate money to save old growth forests. I’m not a member of groups fighting for an end to the war in Afghanistan or agitating in behalf of animal rights. My struggle for social and environmental justice is waged primarily through the power of my writing. I subscribe to the attitude of author Ingrid Bengis, who said, “Words are a form of action, capable of influencing change.” In the coming weeks, I suggest you increase your awareness of how you could transform your world with the power of your language. Is it possible to increase your clout through the way you communicate?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the weeks ahead, Libra, you’re going to be tested on your followthrough. People will want you to work harder on what has previously come fairly easily. You will be pressured to make good on your promises; you’ll be asked to refine the details that are central to the success of the good new ideas that are floating around. As much as you might be tempted to slip away and fly off in pursuit of things that are more fun, I encourage you to stick with the program. You can’t imagine how important it is for you to learn how to be a more committed builder.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “If you’re strong enough there are no precedents,” said novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald. I think that describes you in the immediate future, Scorpio. I bet you won’t have to answer to ghosts or pay homage to the way things have always been done. You’ll be free to ignore icons that the conventional wisdom idolizes, and there’ll be no need for you to give undeserved respect to experts who have stopped being relevant. By my astrological reckoning, you will be so smart and plucky and energetic that you can work wonders simply by emptying your mind, starting from scratch, and making things up as you go along.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Scientists have discovered an exotic animal that feeds on the bones of dead whales lying on the ocean floor. Known informally as the bone-eating snotflower worm, it looks like a frilly pink plume growing up out of sheer bone. Believe it or not, Sagittarius, you could take a cue from this creature in the coming weeks. It will be a favorable time for you to draw sustenance from the skeletal remains of big things that were once vital.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What is the wild and instinctual nature? Radiance magazine posed that question to storyteller Clarissa Pinkola Estes. Here’s her reply: “to establish territory, to find one’s pack, to be in one’s body with certainty and pride regardless of the body’s gifts and limitations, to speak and act in one’s behalf, to be aware, alert, to draw on the innate feminine powers of intuition and sensing, to come into one’s cycles, to find what one belongs to.” I would love to see you specialize in these wild and instinctual arts in the coming weeks, Capricorn. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you are ready to tap into the deeper reserves of your animal intelligence. Your body is primed to make you very smart about what you need and how to get what you need.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When I think of the extraordinary feats of strength you will be capable of in the coming weeks, my mind turns to a Chinese martial artist named Dong Changsheng. Last May, he attached one end of a rope to his eyelids and the other end to a small airplane, then pulled the thousand-pound load 15 feet in a minute. I don’t think your demonstration of power will be as literal as his, and I suspect it will be more useful and meaningful. But in certain respects it could be just as amazing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Scottish scientists decided to see if they could find evidence for the existence of the Loch Ness monster. They took a research submarine down into the murky depths, scanning with sonar. The prehistoric creature was nowhere in sight, but a surprising discovery emerged: Thousands of golf balls litter the bottom of the loch, presumably because the place has been used as an unofficial driving range for years. I predict that you will soon experience a reverse version of this sequence, Pisces: You will go in search of your personal equivalent of lost golf balls—some trivial treasure—but on the way you will have a brush with a living myth.

Beneficiary has declared the Grantor in default of the terms of the Deed of Trust and the promissory note (“Note”) secured by the Deed of Trust because of Grantor’s failure timely to pay all monthly installments of principal, interest and, if applicable, escrow reserves for taxes and/or insurance as required by the Note and Deed of Trust. According to the Beneficiary, the obligation evidenced by the Note (“Loan”) is now due for the 06/01/10 installment payment and all monthly installment payments due thereafter. As of September

1, 2010, the amount necessary to fully satisfy the Loan was $426,252.84.

This amount includes the outstanding principal balance of $416,932.37, plus accrued interest, accrued late charges, accrued escrow installments for insurance and/or taxes (if any) and advances for the protection of beneficiary’s security interest (if any).

Because of the defaults stated above, Beneficiary has elected to sell the Property to satisfy the Loan and has instructed Successor Trustee to commence sale proceedings. Successor Trustee will sell the Property at public auction On the front steps of the Missoula County Courthouse, 200 West Broadway, Missoula, MT 59802, City of Missoula on January 11, 2011 at 11:00 AM, Mountain Time. The sale is a public sale and any person, including Beneficiary and excepting only Successor Trustee, may bid at the sale.

The bid price must be paid immediately upon the close of bidding at the sale location in cash or cash equivalents (valid money orders, certified checks or cashier’s checks). The conveyance will be made by trustee’s deed without any representation or warranty, express or implied, as the sale is made strictly on an as-is, where-is basis.

Grantor, successor in interest to Grantor or any other person having an interest in the Property may, at any time prior to the trustee’s sale, pay to Beneficiary the entire amount then due on the Loan (including foreclosure costs and expenses actually incurred and trustee’s and attorney’s fees) other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred. Tender of these sums shall effect a cure of the defaults stated above (if all non-monetary defaults are also cured) and shall result in Trustee’s termination of the foreclosure and cancellation of the foreclosure sale. The trustee’s rules of auction may be accessed at www.northwesttrustee. com and are incorporated by the reference. You may also access sale status at www.Northwesttrustee.com or USA-Foreclosure.com.

And here we are again

By Brint Wahlberg, 2010 MOR President As they say, “Everything old is new again.” That surely seems true about the state of the real estate industry in 2010. After all, we went through market upheaval in the mid ‘80s. Interest rates crept up into the mid- to upper-teens.

Savings and loan institutions were in shambles. Computers were coming into their own with very pricey PCs and behemoth monitors – but some at least came with a year’s subscription to the basic dial-up internet service Prodigy.

There also was a fundamental change in the way real estate transactions were conducted. Buyers believed that the agent who were asking about their preferences, showing them properties, and writing up offers was representing them, which was actually incorrect. “If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it must be duck” doesn’t work when the state law says it isn’t a duck. Montana (and many other states) said that those with a broker’s license in the State of Montana could only represent sellers. It was an untenable situation for both buyers and licensees.

And then that changed in the early 1990s when the statutes were revised so that both buyers and sellers could choose their own representation.

And so, twenty years later, here we are again. We have experienced another financial meltdown. Whether it’s interest rates or for some other reason, not everyone who wants to purchase property can do so. The novelty of the internet in the ‘80s has given way to a dizzying cycle of innovation and development that we are integrating by choice or by necessity…and now we also add in social media. Buyer representation is a given and the internet has spawned a multitude of new business models for the way that real estate services are delivered.

While the economic factors connected with real estate may be familiar, all the industry experts are warning that nothing about the next phase is predictable based on what’s happened before. Consumers may be tempted to just hunker down, hold on, and ride it out. And they may even be tempted to use the power of the internet to prepare them for whatever comes next. But now is the time to be well-informed, proactive, and observant to take advantage of the opportunities that exist.

In spite of all the current turmoil and uncertainty, there are some constants.

The economic impact of the housing industry and the need for people to have a place to live will combine to drive a response to this set of circumstances just as they did before. The difference is that we can’t look back to find our bearings and there is universal agreement that the path ahead will almost certainly not look like the one that led us to recovery before. Neither waiting for the past to return nor guessing what is ahead will be productive.

So what do we know about today?

1. Not every sale is a distressed sale, and in fact most sales in our area are not distressed sales. Buyers can’t assume that all sellers are desperate and will take any offer just to get out of a bad situation. Foreclosures are up in our area but they still represent a small percentage of the total sales.

2. Sellers can’t assume that the valuation they pulled from Zillow or other valuation sites, that the price their neighbors got when they sold, or even the Comparative Market Analysis they got six months ago is what they should list for.

The only relevant information is based on the most comprehensive, local, and timely information possible which in most cases can be accessed by a REALTOR® in the Multiple Listing Service.

3. Sellers need to be realistic about the value of the property they are offering for sale in the face of consumer preferences that are shifting toward housing that is economically, environmentally, and personally sustainable.

4. Median or average prices are only an indicator of the activity from all segments of the market. Buyers and sellers need to have an analysis of the individual segments of the market specific to a particular property on which to base their decisions. Market segments are changing all the time and need to be constantly monitored and evaluated. This different analysis may need to be repeated more than once before a final decision is made and a transaction completed.

5. Buyers can’t assume that an automated online quote about what financing is available or what their monthly payment may be provides either an accurate or complete picture. An analysis of the buyer’s individual circumstances along with

the ability to match that to the programs available is critical. Additionally even once a buyer has found a house and put it under contract, they need to work closely with the right professionals to be prepared for any last-second changes or adjustments in their financing options.

With so many different sources for information and different conclusions from the same information, it can seem overwhelming and mostly negative.

However, amidst all the turmoil in the current national market we have been able to realize one fact about housing that was most certainly true before the turn of the century: Real estate continues to be a solid, long-term investment and not a get-rich-quick scheme. Americans are once again recognizing the value of homeownership as it should be – a place to call home, a place for family and community-building, and a solid investment over a long course of the market.

Cassie is a quiet, gentle, well-behaved dog who has become a real shelter favorite.

She treats each new dog she meets as a potential best friend forever, and that's an attitude we really like!

549-3934 KAISER

CONRAD

Conrad has an amazingly regal presence, and he projects an aura of quiet authority.

Even the other dogs who usually bark at everyone else will simply give Conrad a respectful nod.

He must have been an emperor in a former life!

Perry is a handsome orange and white fellow who likes to talk and is looking for a special person who will enjoy his conversations. What a great companion he'll make for the long winter days ahead!

2420 W Broadway 2310 Brooks 3075 N Reserve 6149 Mullan Rd Clark Fork River Market

WAY L O N

Waylon and his brother Willie came to the shelter as tiny kittens, and now they're halfgrown and still living in a cage! These handsome guys would really love a home, with lots of room to play and people to keep them safe and happy.

Kaiser just moved to Montana from a shelter in Idaho. It's all the same to him though, cold (isn't it still summer??) and lonely. He'd so much rather be sleeping at your feet than his current bed in a kennel. He misses going for relaxing walks at your side, but he mostly misses being your best friend.

To sponsor a pet call 543-6609

CHARLES

Charles is sweet and fluffy, as well as being quite a friendly guy.

His coat got a bit matted while he was living on his own, but some judicious brushing and clipping would make his coat as handsome as the rest of him.

WILLIE

Willie and his brother Waylon came to the shelter with their mom, a stray who had obviously been living on her own for a while.

These young fellows have never had a real home and loving family, and they'd enjoy learning what that is like!

PROMO

Promo's had quite a streak of bad luck. First his original owners brought him and their other dog to the shelter because they were moving, then he was adopted just to be returned for the same reason! That's a bit like getting struck by lightning, twice!

DELILAH

This little lady just may be the perfect new puppy for your family.

At 4 months old Delilah is as cute as they come with those signature hound ears no one can resist. She loves everyone and pretty much thinks life is about playing with toys and going for walks!

1600 S. 3rd W. 541-FOOD

HERMAN

Herman is a little 11 week old kitten, with endless spirit. Since he was tiny, he has been a force of nature, zipping and bouncy about fearlessly. He isn't afraid of anything, and promises to bring your family a lifetime of fun!

Flowers for every bride.

Affordable flowers with an artistic flair.

NORMA JEAN

Look at how beautiful this cat is, it's obvious how she got her name. She has beautiful blue eyes, and the softest, shiniest white coat, with very unique markings.

Not only is she gorgeous, but she's got a great personality too! She likes to go outside and could really give the mice a run for their money, plus she likes dogs!

ABBY

Abby has too much life experience to be spending her retirement in a shelter.

She makes the best of it by spending her days lounging on our deck, requesting a steady stream of attention and room service, but of course that doesn't compare to the comforts of home.

237 Blaine • 542-0077

These pets may be adopted at AniMeals 721-4710 SASHA

My world was a scary place before I came to AniMeals. I hid a lot, trying hard not to incur the wrath of “the man”. He was angry all the time and everyone in the house was afraid of him. The police came and took him away and the children went to live with relatives.

BEVERLY

They threw her out of the car and sped off in a cloud of dust and gravel.

Beverly was devastated that her family would do such a thing. She didn’t know what to do or where to go… and the kids in the neighborhood pelted her with rocks every time they saw her.

COCO

In her desperate attempt to seek refuge from the raindrops that pelted her malnourished body, Coco found herself underneath the only source of shelter in sight—an old box on the ground next to an overflowing garbage bin.

KEELA

Michelangelo had the Sistine Chapel; Leonardo had the Mona Lisa, and Whistler had his mother.

But not even the work of the Great Masters can compare with the exquisite beauty of a feline masterpiece like Keela. She is a Bengal Cat, a stunningly beautiful, work of art.
