STREET TALK
by Chad Harder
Asked Tuesday afternoon on the Oval at the University of Montana.
Q:
Just in time for Halloween, this week’s Indy profiles a local business that makes tools designed to kill zombies. What’s your plan of action in the event of a zombie apocalypse? Follow-up: Who or what will you dress up as for Halloween?
Zane Reneau: Get as many guns as possible, stay in a group and then fight my way out. I might just have a chance. It’s the hair: I’m going as Antoine Dodson, the crazy “Bed Intruder Song” guy on YouTube. He’s hilarious, and yeah, I kinda look like him.
Savanna Cochran: You know, I’d probably just chill out, eat some good food and watch some good movies. I mean, what are you going to do? The zombies will just do what they want, right? Just say no: That’s tough because I’ve actually already thought about it a lot and can’t decide. It’s between two costumes: Frida Kahlo and Nancy Reagan. I got them for different events.
Bryce Curran: Guess I’d have to go for a knife in the kitchen. I’d prefer a machete, but I don’t have one. I guess I’m going to have to go prepare for the apocalypse tonight. Double trouble: I’ve actually got to hit two Halloween parties, one here and one in Butte. I’ll be going as Jackie Moon, Will Farrell’s character in Semi-Pro.
Mainstream misses I just wanted to send my congratulations and a massive thank you to Rebecca Bowe and the Missoula Independent for the “Under The Radar: The 10 Biggest National and International Stories Ignored by the Major News Outlets” cover story (Oct. 14, 2010). In a day and age where mainstream news is little more than puerile entertainment gossip and government sponsored propaganda, it is refreshing and awesome to see these major news stories being brought to light. What hope is there for the future of this country when the current mainstream news channels are spewing forth the same talking points from their left or right perspectives? The majority of the population is being kept in the dark while being masterfully entertained with inconsequential drivel. All the while both Democrat and Republican sides of the government are being taken over by greedy and sociopathic banks and corporations. Gore Vidal recently said: “Anybody who tries to hang on to America’s coat-tails is going to find himself up to his eyeballs in, well, deceit and corruption. This is the crookedest place on earth—and I never thought I would go that far, having been to many other countries at least south of our borders,” and I tend to agree with him. Unless people are awake enough to start looking at alternative sources for news, things are just going to get worse. It shouldn’t be the case that a large percentage of people now look to “The Daily Show” to get actual news. But when you have news stations like Faux News and their ridiculous line up of pompous douchebags attempting to “enlighten” the public, where else can one turn? Well, it seems like the Independent is now a great start! Keep up the great work! Matt L. O’Connor Missoula
Vote for I-161
Bridger Bukantis: First off, I’d contact a few close friends who are equally prepared survivalists. We’d want to ensure we have food stockpiled. And I always travel with a pen in my pocket, so just in case I can jab it in a zombie’s eye real fast. And I’d carry my hunting knife, too. Dar, matey: Now that question’s harder. I’ve yet to decide. But a pirate is definitely a consideration, possibly even a zombie pirate.

The mission statement for Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP): “Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, through its employees and citizen commission, provides for the stewardship of the fish, wildlife, parks, and recreational resources of Montana, while contributing to the quality of life for present and future generations.” FWP’s Strategic Plans states that they, “discourage commercialization of wildlife.” Montana Code Annotated 87-3-303, policy toward nonresident big game hunters: “It shall be the policy of this state to protect and preserve game animals primarily for the citizens of this state and to avoid the deliberate waste of wildlife and destruction of property by nonresidents licensed to hunt in this state.” The public-trust doctrine states that the wildlife in Montana belongs to the residents of Montana and the state is

the trustee that manages the people’s wildlife. Outfitter-guaranteed tags encourage outfitters to lease private land, which often blocks public access to both public and private lands allowing outfitters and their wealthy clients to capitalize on our public assets at our expense. This is the privatization of wildlife and it needs to stop. FWP has been placed in the unethical position of subsidizing a private business; rather, FWP should primarily be the stewards of our wildlife while placing Montana residents first. Vote for I-161.

drivel.
Vote against I-161 Initiative 161 sets a dangerous precedent to decide hunting issues at the ballot box. Montanans are getting farther away from the land and hunting, and next could be making changes in our own resident licenses by the general public in the voting process. The heart of this initiative is to take away the outfitter sponsored elk and deer licenses. These are not special tag permits that residents have to apply to receive, they are simply a high-priced general Montana elk or deer license that folks who hunt with an outfitter can buy to help support our 9 million acres of block management hunting. Outfitters are not guaranteed hunters, only that if they are able to book a hunter that person will be able to buy a license to hunt in our state. Outfitters have been regulated for many years by net client hunting use and forest service day and overnight use, and cannot take more hunters without buying an existing business or use days. Nonresident hunters are an important part of tourism that boosts the economy of every small town in Montana. This is not an access issue; we surely cannot force a private landowner to let someone on their land they do not choose. This is an attempt to destabilize
the outfitting industry that contributes so much in jobs and income at so many levels during hard economic times for every Montanan. I live, work, and hunt in Montana and I know the ballot box is not the place to discipline an industry or decide hunting issues. That’s why so many sportsmen’s groups oppose this bill, too. Vote “No” on I-161! Sandy Sallee Emigrant
Off course Mike Jopek of Whitefish recently wrote that Montana is a good place to be in business (see “Driven to metaphors,” Letters, Sept. 16, 2010). So he says we should stay the course. Among his claims are that low wages and an idle workforce gives us a competitive advantage. It was pretty good rhetoric but, unfortunately, it doesn’t match the record. The reality is these are tough times for Montanans. Staying the course doesn’t offer much consolation to the folks who have lost their jobs over the last several months and are trying to figure out how to make ends meet. In Jopek’s backyard alone, the unemployment rate continues to be in double digits, CFAC has shut down, Plum Creek has cut its workforce in half and closed mills in Pablo and Ksanka, and Smurfitt Stone is in bankruptcy. Here are some important facts: The Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council rated our business climate 33rd. They say our workers compensation rates are 50th and our unemployment rates are 4 5 th. C N B C p u t s u s 3 6 th. T h e U . S . Chamber of Commerce rates Montana’s legal climate for businesses at 43rd. Forbes identifies our regulatory environment at 47 th and growth prospects at 45 th. Not much to cheer about. The last five and half years have been the slowest period of job growth for Montana in the last quarter century. Presently there are more unemployed Montanans than ever before. And all the while government has been growing by leaps and bounds. Spending projections for this year are 81 percent higher than 2004. That doesn’t fall within my definition of prudence. It’s also not a path we can sustain. We need to do better. And we can. We can better manage the budget for the present cyclical downturn. We can challenge the structural barriers to growth. We can identify and promote our comparative advantages in the market place. We can attract more investments. Clearly we need a better direction. Rather than talking about Ds and Rs, Montanans want our elected leaders to set aside their partisan rhetoric and work together to tackle these difficult problems so that we can all enjoy a more prosperous future and make Montana the Treasure State again.

Winter came on strong this week in the mountains of western Montana, with ten inches falling on Lolo Pass, as pictured here, and more than 18 inches dumping on the Dark Horse Lake Snotel site southwest of Jackson.
Bitterroot Where have all the elk gone? Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) filed a proposal with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service earlier this month to remove 12 wolves from the Bitterroot’s West Fork population. The agency backed its request by citing a dramatic decline in elk numbers in its West Fork Elk Management Unit, stating that wolf kills are “needed to restore [calf] recruitment rates.” Low calf recruitment was the same argument FWP made this July in support of a costly three-year study to determine why the elk population in the Bitterroot Valley has dropped 21 percent in four years. However, at the time FWP said it wasn’t sure how much—or even if—wolves had contributed to the decline. The sudden blame placed on wolves in the agency’s most recent proposal contradicts much of what FWP has stated in the past. Kelly Proffitt, the biologist heading the elk study, told the Indy in July that the decline may be due to habitat and body condition issues. FWP Wildlife Biologist Craig
Jourdonnais pointed to extensive wildfires and increased subdivisions on winter range as potential factors. Wolves are certainly part of the puzzle, he said, but he was “not convinced.” “It’s not at all saying wolves are the problem,” Jourdonnais says of the proposed wolf kill. “It’s saying wolves are part of the predation issue that we feel is happening there, and we definitely want to get some management authority over wolves in the West Fork.” Derek Goldman, an Endangered Species Coalition field representative in Missoula, is as dubious of the wolf question now as FWP seemed to be this summer. The elk population in the West Fork reached similar lows even before the reintroduction of wolves, he says, referencing data from FWP’s proposal. In light of the study—which has yet to even begin—Goldman believes FWP could be putting “the cart before the horse.” “I don’t know that 12 wolves are eating 700 elk,” he says. Even the U.S. Forest Service has noted FWP’s doubt over the impacts of wolf predation on elk, as shown in the August 2009 environmental impact

statement (EIS) for the Bitterroot National Forest’s draft travel plan. “FWP feels that the decline in elk numbers in the Bitterroot is likely primarily due to increased antlerless harvests achieving a planned management reduction,” the EIS states, “and that there is no evidence that wolves or combined predator numbers have much to do with the decline of elk counted through 2008.” Alex Sakariassen
Politics GOP resurrects Jake Eaton State Rep. Gary MacLaren, R-Victor, resigned as treasurer of the Montana Republican Legislative Campaign Committee (LCC) last week after a string of negative campaign ads targeting Democratic candidates appeared in Ravalli County. MacLaren has stated he had no role in the ads circulated by the LCC, but it isn’t MacLaren who’s generating buzz. It’s his replacement. Jeff Essman, a Republican senator from Billings and chairman of the LCC, confirmed that former

GOP executive director Jake Eaton was temporarily appointed as the new LCC treasurer. Whether Eaton is considered as a permanent replacement when the LCC next meets is “up to my committee and Mr. Eaton,” Essman says. The Democratic Party responded Tuesday by pointing to Eaton’s colorful past. Eaton led the effort in 2008 challenging the registration status of some 6,000 voters in left-leaning counties across the state. When Democrats filed a lawsuit, U.S. District Court Judge Donald Molloy called Eaton’s tactic “political chicanery.” Eaton stepped down as GOP executive director later that year. “To replace someone who took an honorable stand against dirty campaign tactics with a guy like Eaton who attempted to suppress voter turnout is a questionable choice,” said Martin Kidston, spokesman for the Montana Democratic Party, in a press release. Essman defended Eaton’s appointment and questioned its relevancy. He refused to elaborate on Eaton’s qualifications for the job beyond Eaton being active in Montana politics and a state resident. “Nothing ever came of those charges,” Essman says of Eaton’s role in the 2008 scandal. “I told you he was appointed. What process we went through in terms of his employment is a matter for the committee.” After leaving the GOP in 2008, Eaton served as chief organizer for the conservative group Patients United Now, which in spring 2009 sponsored rallies and TV ads against health care reform. He is currently a partner in 47 Degrees North Communications, a Montana-based political consulting and public affairs firm, and, according to GOP Executive Director Bowen Greenwood, he has acted as a general consultant for the LCC “for a while.” Alex Sakariassen
Business Rivertop rides the wave When University of Montana chemistry professor Don Kiely founded Missoula’s Rivertop Renewables in 2008, he ambitiously hired on a handful of environmentally minded scientists, along with some heavy hitters from the business world. “I knew right out of the gate that we had to shoot to build a really big company,” Kiely says. Two years later, Kiely, now retired from UM, is getting closer to fulfilling that vision. In fact, the Missoula City Council this week unanimously pro-

vided a critical endorsement of the company’s bid to secure a $202,500 grant from the state-sponsored Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund, which is designed to aid job growth. “I think Rivertop Renewables is the most exciting project going on in Montana right now,” says Jessica Allred-Meyers of the Missoula Area Economic Development Council, which has been working with the company to secure the grant. “It’s pretty exciting.” It’s exciting because Kiely is doing groundbreaking work in what he’s dubbed “progressive chemistry.” Before retiring from UM in 2008, the chemist developed a method to inexpensively take plant sug-
ars and convert them into massive quantities of the biodegradable chemical glucarate. The biodegradable chemical is capable of replacing environmentally harmful minerals and petroleum-based compounds used to manufacture commercial and industrial products like road deicer and laundry detergent, thereby potentially reducing contamination in ground water and local streams. “The basic premise, from my point of view, is that we have technology that can be useful and environmentally advantageous,” Kiely says. Rivertop currently employs 11 people, including COO Mike Kadas, Missoula’s former mayor. Anticipating new revenue streams—the company will find out by the end of the year if it’s received the Big Sky grant—Kadas says the company plans on hiring 27 new employees during the coming months. “We expect to double, actually triple our size within the next two years,” Kadas says.

Planning Plum Creek changes stance Back in May, as the Missoula Board of County Commissioners’ deliberations over the Seeley Lake Regional Plan neared an end, Plum Creek Timber Co. made its objections clear. Specifically, Kathleen Sims, the company’s senior director of real estate law, condemned the commissioners for using wildlife as justification for “potentially designating Plum Creek property as open space.” But now, a week after the commissioners finally approved the years-in-the-making and wildlifefriendly growth policy, Sims says Plum Creek is content with the commissioners’ decision to ignore the company’s requests for higher building densities on its timberlands. What changed? “What happened is the agencies [the U.S. Forest Service and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks] sat down and told us, ‘Look, these are the areas that are important for, for instance, wildlife migration corridors. Or this is important lynx habitat. Or this is this elk wintering range,’” says Sims. “And based upon that detailed information, our science team went back and revised the proposal.” Sims now calls the Seeley Lake Regional Plan “respectful of resources and private property rights.” Plum Creek, owner of about 52 percent of the private land in the 235,535-acre planning region, didn’t come away empty-handed, of course. Its negotiations over the summer with an interagency group that included USFS and FWP yielded higher building densities around Placid Lake. Some parcels initially allowing densities of one house per 40 acres were lowered to one house per 10 or 20 acres. “It was very clear to all parties in the [interagency group] that everyone made some compromises, including Plum Creek,” says Pat O’Herren, director of Missoula County Rural Initiatives. “So they truly did get their density reduced in some areas. In other areas where it wasn’t as critical it was like, ‘Yeah, fine, that’s okay.’” O’Herren stresses that the Seeley Lake Regional Plan is not a regulatory document, but sets the limits for future zoning. Plum Creek’s future goals for the area remain unknown. Sims insists the company has “no immediate plans to develop anything.” And she says she’s unaware of any intentions to sell off valuable Placid Lake parcels. Matthew Frank

Midterm elections generate about as much excitement as leaf pick-up day. And this year, with no local city council or county commission races, it’s even more humdrum. But there are important measures on the ballot, and if you haven’t already mailed yours in, or if you plan to vote in-person on Tuesday, consider the Indy’s endorsements on four statewide initiatives with far-reaching implications. CC-2: The call for a convention to rewrite Montana’s constitution requires little contemplation. Our constitution, written in 1972, is one of the most progressive in the country, guaranteeing Montanans the right to a “clean and healthful environment” and declaring personal privacy “essential to the wellbeing of a free society.” Proponents of CC-2 argue the constitution has amounted to “assault with a deadly weapon on Montana’s economy and jobs.” That’s a stretch. It may be an imperfect document, but the current constitution reflects what Montanans value most—the landscape and our individual rights. Vote against CC-2. CI-105: The Chicago-based National Association of Realtors has spent nearly $2 million trying to pass this measure, which by itself should give voters pause. Montana doesn’t tax property transactions, and the Realtors want to keep it that way, so they’re seeking to amend the Montana Constitution to prohibit state or local governments from ever imposing realty transfer taxes. Their effort is ill advised. Prohibiting the tax—and it’d be the only tax specifically prohibited in our constitution— would hamstring the Montana Legislature by shielding one part of the economy from taxes at the expense of others. Vote no here, as well. I-164: The proposal to cap payday and car title annual loan interest rates at 36 percent has engendered surprisingly reasoned debate on both sides. Proponents see it as a way to rein in rates that reach as high as 650 percent, ending lending that too often leaves borrowers in a cycle of debt. Opponents say the initiative suggests consumers aren’t savvy enough to know any better than to sign these so-called predatory contracts, a sort of patronizing state mentality. But that argument fails to trump the obvious need for consumer protections. I164 deserves to pass. I-161: Abolishing outfitter-sponsored nonresident big game and deer combo licenses, and increasing nonresident licensing fees, has hunters camped out on both sides of the fence—and generated the most debate in our newsroom. Proponents say it would reverse what is essentially the commercialization of public wildlife. Opponents say it would hamper the state’s outfitting industry, a huge contributor to the tourism sector. On its face, I-161 has some populist appeal. But to what end? It’s not clear this measure actually solves the problem it sets out to address, which is the dwindling public access to private hunting ground. It will, however, clearly undermine outfitters, and that seems unnecessary. Vote no on 1-161.

Still on hold Cobell stuck in Pigford settlement setbacks by Alex Sakariassen

Senate and the House, nothing is for sure.” The issue now plaguing the Cobell settlement is its linkage to a class action lawsuit involving restitution for black farmers discriminated against by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) throughout the late 1980s and early ’90s. According to releases from the National Black Farmers Association (NBFA), Timothy Pigford of North Carolina filed suit against the USDA in 1997 after he was denied government loans for the purchase of farmland. Thousands more black farmers came

hoop-di-doop,” says Cobell, chief plaintiff in the class action settlement seeking restitution for Individual Indian Money accounts mismanaged by the U.S. government. “Then you’d find out that it didn’t get approved. They’d take this amendment off and that amendment off and then you’re back to square one…Somebody said, ‘After this is approved, I’m never going to watch C-SPAN again,’” Frustration is nothing new to Cobell. Since a federal appeals court issued the settlement last December, seven courtordered deadlines for congressional approval have come and gone. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the settlement in July, but the Senate failed to meet the latest court deadline before adjourning Sept. 29, prompting U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan this month to issue an eighth—and supposedly final—deadline of Jan. 7, 2011. Now Cobell’s battle will continue into November’s lame-duck session, though a major hang-up continues to cast doubt over the likelihood of approval. “Nothing’s for sure,” Cobell says. “Let me tell you, when you’re working with the

forward in the case alleging similar discrimination when seeking government money for land or operating expenses. The case reached a $1 billion settlement in 1999. Congress tacked Pigford II—a secondstring agreement for more than 70,000 black farmers who filed claims after the original settlement’s deadline—to Cobell early this year in the hopes of passing both settlements at once. But numerous Republican senators have claimed that Pigford II is “rife with fraud,” and have refused to approve the $1.25 billion followup settlement until the Justice Department conducts a thorough investigation of the validity of all Pigford II claims. “When gavels change hands in January, we have an obligation to the American citizen and taxpayer to do that kind of an examination and do a congressional investigation to actually look into the fraud, determine what’s there and see if we can actually tell the American people what’s going on,” said Sen. Steve King, R-Iowa, during a Sept. 29 press conference alongside Sens. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and Bob Goodlatte, RVa. “I don’t think we can put the toothpaste
back in the tube, but we have an obligation to put the brakes on it now until we can see how deep the fraud goes.” It’s an unfortunate holdup for Cobell, whose settlement can’t pass without the Senate’s simultaneous approval of Pigford II. Those behind both settlements have repeatedly pleaded with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to de-link the two and allow each to go before Congress as a standalone bill. Reid has so far refused the requests for separation, and if the Senate fails to meet its newest deadline for Cobell, the case will likely end up back in litigation. “The finish line’s in sight, but it keeps getting moved further down the track,” says Sen. Jon Tester. “Congress has got to get the Cobell settlement done—either with or without Pigford—because it’s in the best interest of Montana and all of Indian Country. And it’s the right thing to do.” Cobell believes that, given a chance to progress on its own, her settlement would glide through the Senate without opposition. While the scrutiny around Pigford II continues to increase, the Cobell settlement has actually gained favor with some of its early critics. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., almost single-handedly stalled Cobell throughout the summer, picking apart the allocation system outlined in the settlement. But after a mid-August meeting between Cobell and Barrasso, the two reached an understanding and diverted $100 million from a portion of the settlement to increase available funding for beneficiaries. Now Barrasso is one of Cobell’s latest advocates. “What he wanted was very minimal and didn’t change the agreement at all, so we were able to make that change,” Cobell says. “That was fine, no big deal. If he’d sat down with us ahead of time, we could have had it all worked out.” Cobell has spent considerable time the last few weeks talking by phone with the settlement’s longstanding champions— Tester, along with Sens. Max Baucus, Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Arizona’s Jon Kyl, RAriz. She’s attempting to answer any questions or resolve any problems in advance of the lame-duck session, but so far she’s heard of no potential hang-ups—except for Pigford II. “I’d rather be in court, I tell you, because in court you can stand up and have to tell the truth and you know exactly where you’re going,” Cobell says. “But when you’re working with Congress it’s like a totally different world. It’s something I’m not used to.” asakariassen@missoulanews.com

It’s the week before elections, Montana Democrats are hoping to buck the national tide and not get slaughtered at the polls, and by all rights the sitting Democratic governor should be out on the stump helping get his party’s candidates elected. But that’s not what’s happening. Instead, Gov. Brian Schweitzer has decided to sue the Legislature over a spending bill from last session. It’s left political watchers scratching their heads and wondering just what kind of strange game the governor is playing now. As most folks know, we have three separate but equal branches of government for some very good reasons. It’s the Legislature’s job to write laws and appropriate money for the state budget. It’s the executive’s job to submit a budget, implement the laws, manage state agencies, and deal with the day-to-day contingencies that arise in between the Legislature’s biennial sessions. The judiciary, meanwhile, sits in judgment on any number of issues involving existing laws and in determining if those laws are constitutional or not. This all makes good sense and provides what we routinely refer to as “checks and balances” between the branches of government so if one branch of government gets a little crazy the other branches can pull it back into line. If you believe what the governor is telling us, he’s suing the Legislature because he thinks HB 676, a companion bill to the Legislature’s primary appropriation bill is, in his words, “blatantly unconstitutional.” He’s gone much further than that, however, and in a recent stormy meeting between Schweitzer and the leaders of the House and Senate, he accused the Montana Legislature of “beginning to act like Congress” because, in his opinion, HB 676 contains more than one subject, which violates the state constitutional provision that each bill address only one subject. Few would argue that the congressional method of legislating, where anyone can add “riders” to “must pass” bills, is a dereliction of democracy. Many of the riders are unrelated to the bills to which they are attached and few, if any, ever receive the benefit of public scrutiny, let alone congressional debate. We obviously don’t want or need congressional-style legislation here—especially since the Montana Constitution specifically forbids it. But here’s the rub: The governor, and only the governor, has the power to
Page 10 October 28 – November 4, 2010
veto any bills he doesn’t agree with. Although he really doesn’t need a reason to do so, he is required to at least tell the Legislature why he vetoed the bill. A governor can also give the Legislature an “amendatory veto” in which he or she suggests amendments and sends the bill

timing.
back to the Legislature for further action. As part of the checks and balances built into our governmental system, however, the Legislature can override a governor’s veto if “two-thirds of the members of each house present approve the bill.” Although Schweitzer did not receive HB 676 until two days after the Legislature had adjourned, there is also a procedure for issuing a veto in such cases. Specifically: “If the Legislature is not in session when the Governor vetoes a bill, the Governor shall return the bill with reasons for the veto to the Legislature as provided by law. The Legislature may be polled on a bill that it approved by two-thirds of the members present or it may be reconvened to reconsider any bill so vetoed (Montana Constitution, Art. VI, Sec. 10).” But Schweitzer didn’t veto HB 676 when it landed on his desk 17 months ago. Instead, he decided not to sign it and, as with any other bill he decides not to sign, it becomes law 10 days after it was delivered without his signature. Again, if you believe the governor’s line of reasoning, he didn’t like the bill when it first hit his desk but decided not to veto it because he didn’t want to spend the money to call the Legislature back
into session to deal with it. So now, only months before the 2011 session convenes, the governor has decided the bill is unconstitutional and filed a lawsuit against the entire Legislature. There are many pathways to iron out differences between governors and legislators. A reasonable person might expect Schweitzer to appear before the interim Legislative Council and let them know that he will veto such legislation next session. But he did not do that. Instead, he filed the lawsuit first and now insists that the matter go directly to the Supreme Court instead of through the traditional court hearings where both sides plead their case, a judicial decision is rendered and the appeal process follows if either side thinks there has been a mistaken judgment. What’s so puzzling about all this is not the subject of HB 676, but the governor’s bizarre sense of timing and his obvious arrogance toward the separate but equal legislative branch of government. It’s certainly no secret that Schweitzer has had one of the stormiest relationships with the Legislature of any governor in recent memory and often openly and harshly derides his fellow elected officials. But why now? It simply doesn’t make sense to attack both Republican and Democratic legislators days before an election. It makes even less sense if, as predicted by many, the Republicans take control of both the House and Senate in the upcoming session. Instead of unifying the Democrats, of which he is at least the titular leader, Schweitzer has united both Republican and Democrat legislators against him. It’s a strange play at a time when government in general is held in low esteem by the electorate. But make no mistake, if legislators feel their independence is threatened by the governor, they will stand together and fight back—which they are doing. Government, especially now, should work efficiently to address the problems facing Montanans, but Schweitzer’s actions promise even worse relations with the Legislature in the fiscally difficult 2011 session. And that, fellow Montanans, is the last thing our state needs. Helena’s George Ochenski rattles the cage of the political establishment as a political analyst for the Independent.

Road rage Schweitzer should know big rigs mean bigger risk by Annick Smith
I remember the stirring speech Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer gave at the Democratic National Convention in 2008: “We face a great new challenge, one that threatens our economy, our climate and our very way of life…This costly reliance on fossil fuels threatens America and the world…We need a new energy system that is clean, green and American-made.” That day I was proud of my governor for being on the side of the future. But these days he says that we need energy, and the safest supply right now is coming from places like Alberta—meaning the dirtiest type of fossil fuel. It is extracted from Canadian tar sands by a process that is destroying Alberta’s boreal forests, gobbling up its water and filling the atmosphere and earth with toxic wastes. And then Schweitzer says, “This is conflict-free oil.” Although no armies are battling over Alberta’s oil sands, there is plenty of conflict. The equipment necessary to mine and extract the oil is gigantic, and it is manufactured in Asia, not in the United States or Canada. Super-trucks as wide as the road are needed to haul these super-machines, and the shortest, cheapest way to haul them to Alberta from South Korea is across the Pacific, up along the Columbia and Snake rivers, and then overland on roads through Idaho and Montana. That means Idaho and Montana will become sacrifice zones for multinational corporations such as Exxon/Mobil and Conoco and foreign countries such as South Korea and Canada. And if this plan goes forward, any hope of restoring wild salmon by removing Snake River dams will go down the drain. The scheme would transform Highway 12—a national scenic byway along the Clearwater and Lochsa rivers—and Highway 200, which runs along the world-famous Blackfoot River, into a permanent industrial corridor. The big rigs that are coming are 220 feet long, up to 29 feet wide, 30 feet tall,
and when loaded, will weigh up to 650,000 pounds. They will take up both lanes of the narrow, winding, cliff-side highways, and the vehicles are heavier and longer than any two-lane in Idaho or Montana was ever built to hold.
Only a “ few weeks ago, a diesel tanker slipped off Highway 12 and spilled 7,500 gallons of fuel next to the Lochsa River. What if it had been a

big rig?
Accidents are sure to happen. Only a few weeks ago, a diesel tanker slipped off Highway 12 and spilled 7,500 gallons of fuel next to the Lochsa River. What if it had been a big rig? It’s like a bad horror movie. Every night, for who knows how long, giant mechanized beasts will pass through towns such as Orofino, Kooskia, Lolo, Missoula and Lincoln. They will delay emergency services and local traffic, sink property values, harm historic and archaeological sites, and depress the tourism and recreational businesses that are the lifeblood of our communities.
In exchange, what will Idaho and Montana get? Not much, to quote Gov. Schweitzer in his green phase, “Since when has [an] oil company ever been interested in jobs? Let’s be honest…it’s green technology that is creating the most jobs right now…10 times more than any other sector.” Here’s what we’ll really get: relatively low-paying jobs for the highway workers who hold the stop-and-go signs on Lolo Pass and Rogers Pass in sub-zero temperatures, new money for the Lewiston port, some work for police and local contractors, and a few million dollars for state coffers. Nothing will offset the profits the oil companies will reap by taking the shortcut we’re offering them. We’ll also get more taxes, of course, because money will be needed at some point to repair roads, bridges, degraded rivers and valleys, and to compensate for a probable net loss of jobs in tourism and recreation. But we don’t have to act like colonial states. This insult to our way of life can and should be stopped before it starts. If it isn’t halted through litigation in Idaho, Montana can put the brakes on the big rigs. We’ve seen enough damage from heedless corporations to learn our lesson. Just look at the BP oil disaster in the Gulf, the Massey Energy Co. coal-mining deaths in West Virginia, the dead and dying people in Libby, Mont., who suffer from asbestos poisoning due to W.R. Grace’s negligence. As a longtime resident of the Blackfoot Valley who loves her chosen place, and as a grandmother who wants her three granddaughters to grow up among the unsullied wild rivers of Montana and Idaho, I urge Gov. Schweitzer to return to his call for green energy. We need to keep those big rigs off our roads.

Imagine being locked in prison for a crime you know you didn’t commit. That’s the reality 261 inmates in the United States faced prior to their postconviction DNA exoneration, according to The Innocence Project, a national nonprofit legal clinic that works to free innocent people wrongfully convicted of crimes. Here in Montana, three former prisoners have been freed since 1997 through the use of such DNA evidence. You can learn more about how a local nonprofit organization is working to free innocent prisoners here in Montana when the Montana Innocence Project hosts an open house this week. Created in 2008, the program not only works to exonerate prisoners, but also aims to prevent wrongful convictions. It does this through probono legal and investigative work. And though it has yet to acquit any prisoners since its launch, Associate Director Caitlin Copple says the organization hopes
to have news on this front by the end of the year. Besides an intro to the institute, the open house includes speakers like Greg Hampikian, director of the Idaho Innocence Project and a professor of biology and criminal justice at Boise State University, talking about the importance of forensic DNA. He also coauthored the book Exit to Freedom, a firsthand account by former inmate Calvin C. Johnson Jr. about how he was imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, and then released almost 17 years later after DNA tests proved his innocence. –Ira Sather-Olson

I N OTHER N EWS Curious but true news items from around the world
CURSES, FOILED AGAIN - Sheriff’s Deputy Venita Edge reported she was fueling her marked patrol car at a station in Fultondale, Ala., when Matthew Kinard, 27, pulled alongside her and asked her to check to see if there were any outstanding warrants on him. When a search turned up one outstanding warrant for unlawful possession of a controlled substance, Edge took him into custody. Her report said that on the way to the county jail, he announced, “I am the stupidest criminal in the world.” Police Officer Dan Lyons said Selma Elmore, 44, stopped him on patrol in Lockland, Ohio, and asked if there’s a curfew for adults. Told no, she then asked whether there was a warrant for her arrest. Told yes, Elmore took off running, leading Lyons on a brief chase that ended when she shoved him into a building and other officers apprehended her, adding a charge of resisting arrest. SOUND OF GREEN - Frito-Lay announced it was dumping biodegradable bags for five of its six varieties of Sun Chips snacks and returning to the original plastic packaging because consumers complained the compostable bags were too noisy. At least a dozen of the 250 new wind farms opened in the United States in the past two years have generated significant noise complaints. In almost all cases, the complaints are directed against the noise of the turbines’ steel blades, which are well over 100 feet long. Similar complaints are being made in Canada and Britain, and in Rennes, France, an appeals court recently ordered an eight-turbine wind farm to shut down between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. so residents could get some sleep. ROLE MODELS OF THE WEEK - Col. Russell Williams, 47, the former commander of Canada’s largest air force base who served as the pilot for Britain’s Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip during their 2005 visit, pleaded guilty to the murder of two women, two sexual assaults, two charges of unlawful confinement and 82 counts of breaking and entering, which involved the theft of women’s panties. The Ottawa Citizen reported that authorities seized 500 women’s undergarments found at Williams’s Ottawa townhouse. “He’s just a very twisted individual, there’s no two ways about it,” said retired Lt. Gen. Angus Watt, who once promoted Williams. “He was able to lead an elaborate double life and was able to keep it successfully concealed.” Isaac H. Stoltzfus, 58, a district judge from Intercourse, Pa., was charged with disorderly conduct for hiding condoms inside acorns and handing them out to unsuspecting women at the state Capitol. WAY TO GO - British police reported that the body of Jimi Heselden, 62, the millionaire businessman whose firm makes Segway self-balancing electric scooters, was found at the bottom of a cliff in West Yorkshire. One of the two-wheeled scooters was found near the body. High school athlete Justin Butler, 16, died after becoming entangled in a Bowflex exercise machine at his home in Grass Valley, Calif. Investigators ruled out suicide and called the death “a very tragic accident.” WHEN GUNS ARE OUTLAWED - When a masked man walked into a gas station in Cave Junction, Ore., and demanded cash, clerk Dan McLeod, 75, said the robber threatened to kill him, then pulled out 6-inch wrench—“a dinky little thing,” McLeod said. He responded by grabbing a broomstick handle and hitting the man several times, sending him away empty handed. HOME-INVASION SCENARIOS - When two armed men kicked in the front door of his home in Tulsa, Okla., and demanded money, Larry Ryan, 59, immediately grabbed for one of the weapons. During the ensuing struggle, the gun fired, shooting off two of the robber’s fingers. The other robber and a third man, who was driving the getaway vehicle, fled while Ryan held Bobby Lewis, 23, until police arrived. An unidentified woman reported that two armed men broke into her home in St. Petersburg, Fla., and, after an unsuccessful search for cooking oil, forced her to melt butter, which one of the robbers rubbed on her chest while the other one searched the house for money. Authorities said they don’t believe the incident had any sexual overtones.

WHY THEY CALL IT DOPE - Sheriff’s deputies arrested four people at a home in Carson City, Nev., after they found fliers in the neighborhood advertising marijuana for sale at that address and announcing, “Looking for new clients, always a good supply.” When deputies went to the address, they saw a camera in a window pointed at the street and a note advising visitors, “If you don’t call first we won’t answer the door.” The deputies knocked anyway, and a man and woman opened the door.

TOO CLOSE TO GROUND ZERO FOR COMFORT - Town officials in Sidney, N.Y., said they would seek a court order to force a local Muslim group to dig up a 650-square-foot cemetery on its property and never bury anyone there again. Although neither state nor local laws cover cemeteries on private land, Bob McCarthy, supervisor of the upstate town, population 5,993, insisted the cemetery is illegal. He admitted, however, “I don’t know what the exact law is.”

n an industrial workshop on the west side of town, a trio of metal workers crafts blades allegedly sharp enough to slay a zombie. Racks of swords hang on the walls with names like “The Para Bellum,” “Urban Bone Machete,” “Rough and Ready,” “The Phalanx” and “The Reaper.” Sparks fly from the grinding belts and a newly cut sword bakes in a brick forge at over 1,500 degrees. Opening the door of a conventional oven reveals a cookie sheet full of a dozen fresh 8-inch throwing spikes. The garage door of the shop opens out onto rows of other shops, mostly populated by auto mechanics and welders. But this space stands apart from the others. Doll heads and mannequin parts hang against the outside wall and slashed plastic jugs litter the ground. A wooden door leans against the metal siding, looking like Swiss cheese from all the gashes it’s endured. At the top of the
garage opening hangs a funky metal sign welded together from chains and saw blades with “ZT” marked on it. And parked in front of the shop is a black truck with a front bumper guard adorned by a sculpture of a bloody severed arm. On the truck’s back bumper a sticker says: “Zombie Tools. Accessories for the Apocalypse.” Zombie Tools is a local business owned and operated by Maxon McCarter, Joey Arbour and Chris Lombardi, and they specialize in handcrafted blades made to combat a zombie apocalypse—not a small feat, if you think about it. The company’s website states, “Can’t save the World? Then prepare for its end,” and offers a slew of ever-revolving products made from 5160 spring steel. A blade like “The Harvester,” for instance, comes with this description: “Like a giant razor blade being scraped across the face of the earth, come time for the Apocalypse, your fields will be
clear. Though we don’t recommend zombie flesh as fertilizer.” “Half the people think it’s all just a joke,” says Lombardi. “They don’t think we’re serious. People will send us these probing e-mails, ‘Are you guys for real?’ And we write back to them, ‘Hell yeah.’” When Zombie Tools started in 2007, it was an evening activity set aside for necessary day jobs. It had its busier months and its lulls, and for a good part of 2009 and early 2010, blade-making activity went at a slow-zombie pace, with Lombardi spending a year in Nepal and McCarter living off and on in Seattle. Early this summer, however, the trio regrouped and rededicated to making zombie tools—a detailed process of forging, grinding, tempering and etching that produces two swords a day. They restructured prices, designed six new weapons and launched an online marketing campaign. Each Saturday night, they host anyone interested in coming
and trying out the swords. The work has paid off. Revenues doubled from July to August. In September, they made even more when they sold 25 blades at between $200 and $300 apiece. They expect to sell at least 35 blades in October, which is, invariably, their most profitable month of the year with Halloween spirit in the air. People are in the zombie mood, say McCarter. The crew has seen sales go up in Sweden and Norway, as well as in places like Texas and the Deep South. They were featured on Montana PBS and, recently, incorporated into a county evacuation plan in Florida that prepared for a zombie invasion. With a higher profile and increased sales, the three partners have been able to quit their day jobs and start crafting blades full time. “Part of our success is, there’s a lot of interest in zombies and there are a lot of sites out there about them,” says

Lombardi. “But pretty much what those sites produce is words and images. People like to talk about it, but as far as I know we’re one of the few companies that makes something based on killing zombies. And they’re really sharp.” Lombardi isn’t just paying lip service to a product meant to butcher a fictional creature. Part of Zombie Tools’ charm is an earnest dedication to making something that really works—you know, if zombies existed. “Really, the only thing we try to make sure our blades do is get through
lot of people walking through there who would say, ‘Hey what are you guys doing?’ and we’d say, ‘Why don’t you grab a beer, and we’ll show you.’” Meanwhile, McCarter also worked on his horror art—paintings and sculptures that simultaneously incorporate gruesome and funny images, like a pig mask with antlers or a baby Jesus stomping through a city Godzilla-style with evil laser eyes. He and artist Wes St. John concocted horror shows—guerilla performance art meant to scare the living hell out of an audience—and worked on horror

the skull,” says Arbour. “That’s the baseline. To kill a zombie you’ve got to take out the brain, and just about everything we have here deals with that.”
cCarter and Arbour have been sword fighting each other once a week for the past 11 years. They met at Flipper’s Casino in 1999 and deduced through a series of inebriated questions that they both loved swords. They spent all night drinking beer and talking swords at Arbour’s apartment across the street. When the sun came up they sparred in the alley behind Bernice’s Bakery, a tradition they continued every week for the next several years. “It’s a beautiful dead end alley so it doesn’t get any car traffic,” says McCarter. “But it gets a lot of foot traffic. We’d get a

films. McCarter, Arbour and St. John’s projects went under several different names: Tainted Saints, Black Mayonnaise Productions, The Drunken Jedi Pirate Circus and Thanatic Forge. But the two ideas weren’t combined until 2007, when the Tainted Saints put on a Halloween show for the Badlander, turning the back room of the bar into an old West zombie brothel. “Zombie Tools started after the momentum we got from doing that first horror show at the Badlander,” says Lombardi, a photographer who first started shooting the swordsmen, but then got sucked in after a night of learning swordplay. “We had a great time putting that together,” he says. “These guys had been making swords for a number of years and so the thought came that they wanted to blend the two interests:
the interest in horror and the interest in blades.” It was also perfect timing. Director George Romero first popularized the modern zombie—a walking corpse with vampiric tendencies—with Night of the Living Dead in 1968. But over the last decade, zombies have invaded every corner of mainstream culture. The craze birthed a bevy of films, including 28 Days Later and its sequel, 28 Weeks Later; a remake of Romero’s Dawn of the Dead; and a handful of zombie comedies like Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead. “The Walking Dead” is a new zombie series on AMC based on a comic book series of the same title. Zombie mania has seen the rise of top-selling books, such as Max Brooks’ The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z, both of which imagine post-apocalyptic scenarios with zombies. The Zombie Tools founders say they saw the zombie wave coming and happened to be in the perfect position to ride it. “We do pay attention to these things,” says McCarter. “We’re all horror fans, and we also are students of media and culture, so we already had our finger on the pulse. So, swords and zombies. It made sense.” There’s a certain unexpected liberty in making tools for a zombie apocalypse. General sword makers often confine themselves to creating blade replicas of a certain cultural style or time period. The Zombie Tools craftsmen make swords based on other cultures, but with modifications—which frees them to be as out-there as they need to be. The Zombie Tools sword they call “The Phalanx,” for instance, is based on the Persian Yatagan sword, and the “Apocatana” is a version of the Japanese Katana, but each Zombie Tools sword includes a new twist, whether it’s an extra curve or an original detail in the handle. Their line of machetes—primary weapons in zombie killing lore, according to McCarter—was made with quarter-inch blades rather than the usual eighth-inch ones to add some extra heft. But the most prominent feature of a Zombie Tools product is the acid etching each blade receives, giving it a worn, spattered look. “We do an acid etch over the entire thing so you’re not looking at such a pristine piece,” says McCarter. “We want people to actually go out and use them, not just put them up on their wall.” Rob Lawlor is one of Zombie Tools’ biggest customers ever since summer 2008 when he stumbled upon their shop, then located on Missoula’s Northside. One night Lawlor and his friends were riding their bikes near the railroad tracks looking for a party they were supposed to attend. “We were totally lost,” he says, “but we saw some weird lights down the alley and heard music, and we thought it must be the party. When we pulled up we saw two guys with fencing helmets, gloves and rapiers sword fighting. There

Making a zombie tool requires detailed grinding, forging, tempering and etching, and the entire process produces two swords a day. The blade is heated in the forge to just above 1,500 degrees and then drenched in oil to harden it. Next, it is placed in an oven at 400 degrees for a few hours, which returns flexibility to the blade. The aluminum handle is attached with steel pins, ground and filed, and, finally, wrapped in cord for better grip.

were fire dancers and a person blowing fire out of their mouth. Somebody handed us a beer and started showing us swords and we were like, ‘Oh my God!’ I started showing up every other day after that.” Lawlor has almost equipped his entire family—four brothers and his dad—with zombie blades, including “Apocatanas” and the “d’Capitan.” It’s an ongoing process, he says. Asked if he’s preparing for a real zombie apocalypse, Lawlor laughs. “I think some kind of an apocalypse is possible,” he says. “There’s a lot of shit going on in the world right now. And just like Zombie Tools says: If you’re prepared for a zombie apocalypse, you’re prepared for anything.”
employed by any person of virtually any strength.” The “Annex Z” plan, as it’s appropriately called, is still available on the county’s website with a disclaimer: “This document was created on personal time and equipment as an exercise in creative planning…The hope is to generate ideas and concepts that will be able to be removed from the fictitious scenario response and applied to realistic scenarios.” Besides providing people a chance to think of creative evacuation plans, zombies are cropping up in college courses as a way to ponder big philosophical questions. Donald Gaff teaches a course at the University of Northern Iowa called “The Anthropology of
“I really don’t think there’s a way, scientifically, to have corpses come back to life,” says Gaff, laughing. “But it’s like with the H1N1 virus or bird flu or swine flu—even if you’re not dealing with a zombie apocalypse, you’re talking about lots of people dying, rapid depopulation, failing infrastructure. What zombie [stories] are doing is asking: What would that scenario look like? How would it all play out?” The Zombie Tools crew gets it. Beneath the gory aesthetics and zombie lore, the weapons makers note that the zombie apocalypse is just one way to illuminate the multitude of disasters people fear most. “A lot of the interest in zombies is in how will people react,” says McCarter.
“To kill a zombie you’ve got to take out the brain, and just about everything we have here deals with that.” — Joey Arbour, Zombie Tools
ast year, an employee of Okeechobee County in Florida posted a county evacuation plan in case of a zombie apocalypse. It includes a section encouraging people to acquire weapons from Zombie Tools in Missoula, Mont., stating: “Sending people to professionals who have a high degree of skill in creating effective tools to combat the horde should be of the highest priority. The weapon-smiths at Zombie Tools have created several highly effective weapons, which can be

Zombies.” In his class students study topics like disease epidemics, societal collapse, consumerism, death and the question of what makes people human—all through the lens of zombies. “I think the whole zombie phenomena is ultimately about control, or lack of control,” says Gaff. “The mob zombie [underscores] the fear of an apocalypse. It has to do with what happens when the government’s no longer there, family’s no longer there, and you’ve got this situation you have no control over.” Sure, but is a zombie apocalypse a realistic scenario?
“It’s the ultimate shit-going-to-hell scenario, and so it provides people the perfect platform to really talk about this stuff—what weapons would we use, and also how we would band together as people.”
n the Saturday night before Halloween weekend, Zombie Tools is alive and kicking. Inside the workshop, 20 or so partiers drink rum and soda and Black Butte Porter to the spooky synth metal of local band Satan’s Slave. Others gather around the
O
flaming fire pit just outside, while two people with fencing swords battle it out under the eerie light of a full moon. Jokes about zombies abound. A group of people shows up dressed as zombies and they wonder aloud if it was a dangerous decision, having stepped into the lair of zombie slayers. McCarter talks about doing a photo shoot in which he’s seated in a throne made of de-toothed zombies, holding a goblet of Maker’s Mark in one hand and a sword in the other. It’s his idea of changing up the attitude about the zombie apocalypse from fear to merry embrace. “Don’t just survive, thrive!” he says. All afternoon, the Zombie Tools crew has been demonstrating their blades, which has resulted in several slaughtered pumpkins covering the pavement in slimy, brain-like chunks. McCarter has turned in his T-shirt (Che Guevara as a zombie and the words, “Fuck the Revolution. Bring on the Apocalypse!”) for a black vest suit and tie, and Arbour and Lombardi are also
dressed for cocktail time. They take turns pulling blades off the shelves for anyone who asks—proud craftsmen showing off their wares. “A lot of our blades can be used for camping,” says McCarter. “The ‘Zak Axe’ has got a full handled grip and an inward curve, and it’s a smaller blade that you can use for cutting down your trees.” “The Squid Axe,” a tool not yet for sale, also has a few other potential uses. It’s a small curved blade that the metalsmiths say is their most original design yet. “We’re not sure what the ‘Squid Axe’ will be used for,” Lombardi says. “But people really seem to like it. Invariably, anyone who hunts says it would be a great skinning knife. But it’s great for cutting cheese, too.” Most of those blades seem like they could do some major zombie damage but, for now, as the party carries on, Zombie Tools is just as much about living in the here-and-now as it is about imagining a future full of zombies.

FLASHINTHEPAN Once reviled as a seven-letter word representing the myriad evils of capitalism, Walmart has, in recent years, gone a bit greenish. Hybrid 18-wheelers haul Walmart goods around the world’s roads. Windmills and other renewable energy sources supply power to many company stores. And now the world’s largest retailer has embraced the virtues of locally and sustainably produced food. An Oct. 14 company press release reads more like the mission statement of your local nonprofit food co-op than a communication from the world’s largest retailer: “Walmart today launched its new global commitment to sustainable agriculture that will help small and medium sized farmers expand their businesses, get more income for their products, and reduce the environmental impact of farming, while strengthening local economies and providing customers around the world with long-term access to affordable, high-quality, fresh food.” Walmart’s definition of “local” means food that’s produced in the same state in which it is sold, and the company aims to have at least 9 percent of the produce sold in its U.S. stores meet this criteria by 2015. In other countries the target percentage rises, to 30 percent in Canadian stores and 50 percent in Indian and Chinese Walmarts. By 2015, the retail behemoth aims to have sold $1 billion worth of food from 1 million small and medium-sized farmers, while boosting those farmers’ incomes by 10 to 15 percent. The company will also make efforts to keep track of its suppliers’ use of pesticides, water and energy, and provide training to farmers to help them reduce their resource use. In addition to encouraging farming practices that produce more food with fewer resources and less waste, Walmart also intends to assist its farmers in crop selection—including plans to work with Southern tobacco farmers in hopes of convincing them to switch to growing blueberries. These initiatives dovetail with Walmart’s new Heritage Agriculture program, which focuses on encouraging the production of regional crops that have declined in recent years. Walmart’s Ron McCormick, senior director for Strategic Food Sourcing, told Food Safety News that the economic decline of many rural

shown grow well in certain regions—especially areas that surround the company’s 40 food distribution centers. This builds long-term efficiency into Walmart’s supply chain, saving money on transport and packaging while adding shelf-life to its perishable produce. The ensuing cost savings should help Walmart toward the goal of improving the bottom line of its produce suppliers by 10-15 percent. Another way the company hopes to increase the income of the farmers it works with is to deal directly with producers and eliminate middle men. This seems innocuous enough at first glance, but it also sounds like one of the mechanisms behind Walmart’s habit of killing Main Street businesses in countless towns that it has moved into. Cutting out the middleman and dealing directly with suppliers, while using its huge purchasing power as leverage, is how Walmart has been able to infamously starve out its competition. It’s possible your neighborhood food co-op will lose both suppliers and customers to Wally World. And while 9 percent local food certainly adds up to a lot of local food over the years, that leaves 91 percent of Walmart’s food purchased from distant factory farms. Walmart continues to buy Photo by Chad Harder tomatoes from farms in Immokalee, Fla., character would be to knowingly undermine its bot- where some of the nation’s worst labor atrocities tom line. Like everything else it does, the promotion have been documented, including instances of what of sustainable, local agriculture is a calculated move qualifies as slavery. But despite the red flags about the company, it’s to increase profits—if the corporate brainstem were to determine that reconciling quantum mechanics hard to argue that Walmart’s buying into local produce with Newtonian physics would boost sales of cheap is a bad thing. Especially since in recent years many agriculture advocates have become frustrated with the bath towels, it would probably do that as well. Compared to quantum mechanics, the economic lack of interest corporate grocers have shown toward advantages of local food are straightforward and easy locally grown food. Now that big bad Walmart has to calculate. The market for this kind of food is boom- jumped on board the local food bandwagon, hopefuling, and of course the company wants to cash in. But ly other corporations will follow suit. We live in a capWalmart is even more interested in the opportunities italist society, for better or for worse, and capitalism embodied in the popular locavore’s mantra that the can be very effective at getting things done. Walmart’s average particle of food travels 1,500 miles from field new local food initiatives may be driven purely by the to plate. This inefficiency provides a huge opportuni- realization that saving the world is a good thing ty for the company with the world’s largest food sup- because it will help guarantee the survival of the globply chain to further streamline its operations. That’s al economy it wishes to dominate. But if so, well, where the Heritage Agriculture program comes in, maybe we should be hoping for Walmart to decide that encouraging the cultivation of crops that history has solving global warming is good for business as well.
farming regions was one reason that prompted Walmart’s interest in establishing a connection with local food producers. Many areas throughout the U.S. that were once supported by thriving agricultural economies now have a Walmart store or food distribution center, he says. “It made sense to us, that if we could revitalize those economies, it would let us buy fresher product for our customers and save food miles. At the same time, we would be supporting many rural communities that support our stores,” he said. It may seem out of character for Walmart to act as an agent for positive change, but remember: the only thing Walmart could do that would truly be out of

HAPPIESTHOUR Iza Ambiance: The owners at Iza have gone to great lengths since opening in July 2009 to create a cozy, izakaya-style atmosphere at their plush Hip Strip digs. Izakayas, for those of you not up on your traditional Japanese lingo, are oldschool sake pubs in the vein of our venerated brew pubs. They serve a variety of tapas-sized meals perfect for your post work appetite as well as a healthy selection of Japanese sakes. Iza takes the idea a step further, adding a full menu along with wines and local brews. The bar is a nice choice for those looking to unwind in the depths of their own cerebellums before the weekend hits, or you can even enjoy some live jazz by local musicians every Wednesday night at 7:30. What you’re drinking: Sake, of course. Iza’s got a full line of popular unfiltered sake flavors, from Voices in the Mist to Dreamy Clouds. Happy Hour specials include $1 off your sake. If it’s chilly, try a $5 warm sake. And if it’s a martini you’re jonesing for, Iza’s got your back. The restaurant offers $4.50 “saketails” in a variety of flavors. The Tropitini—a tasty blend of sake, coconut milk, pineapple and galangal—proved particularly refreshing on a recent afternoon. Waitress Lilly Herro also recommends the Cayenne Cooler, a glass of sake cooled with fresh cucumber and lime juice. “One gal that came in
here ordered two and told me it was better than cocaine,” Herro says. “She said she just wanted to climb in and swim around in it.” Happy Hour specials stretch from 3 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and include $3 draft beers. What you’re eating: Iza chef and co-owner Theo Smith says the restaurant is overhauling its menu in the next few weeks to include a long list of traditional Japanese dishes. They plan to offer more soups as the weather grows colder, and Smith says he’s also working on some scallop dishes incorporating miso and ginger. The goal? A better pairing of Iza’s food and sake. “Lots of places are really developing their menus toward alcohol,” Smith says. But don’t worry. We’re told the dim sum and the hoisin beef spareribs—each a $4 Happy Hour deal—will remain, due to popular demand. Where to find it: 529 S. Higgins Ave., right on the Hip Strip next to the Hob Nob. —Alex Sakariassen Happiest Hour celebrates western Montana watering holes.

ASKARI Playing ketchup I’ve got tons of ripe tomatoes on the vine but I’m worried the plants aren’t long for the world, because the frost is coming. Any ideas for an easy way to put away lots of tomatoes? —Tons of Tomatoes
Q
Faced with a similar circumstance, I recently made a batch of ketchup. For five quarts of sliced tomatoes—about 30 medium-sized fruits—slice two large onions and liquefy the tomatoes and onions together in a food processor. I also added a few pickled peppers and carrots that had good flavor but had gone soggy. That gave some spice and complexity to the final product. Simmer the mixture for about half an hour, then push it through a food sieve or food mill. Return to the pot—ideally a thick-bottomed pot to avoid hot spots and scalding-and simmer slowly, stirring often. In a different pot, simmer three

cups of vinegar—I used vinegar from that jar of pickled peppers and carrots—with a six-inch stick of cinnamon, two teaspoons of cloves and a head of minced garlic. After 30 minutes, kill the heat under the vinegar. When the tomato and onion mixture has almost reached the consistency of ketchup, pour the vinegar mixture through a strainer to filter out the spices, and into the pot. The vinegar will dilute the ketchup slightly, so continue to simmer a little longer until it’s thick, but remember that the ketchup will thicken when it cools, so you don’t have to reduce it all the way to ketchup consistency. While the ketchup is still hot, ladle it into clean, sterile, pint-sized canning jars. Screw on clean, sterile lids, and process for 10 minutes in a water bath.

SPOTLIGHT scuzz-o-ween I was never lucky enough to see the Fireballs of Freedom in concert, but I always remember hearing it was a raucous, hell-raising time. The former Missoula band, pictured here in 2003, was a regular staple at the now-defunct Jay’s Upstairs back in the late 1990s. The musicians won over the hearts of many a rocker with their speedy brand of scuzzy and fuzzed out garage rock, which borrowed influences from both punk and psychedelic strands of rock. Around 1999, the foursome decided to make the trek from Missoula to Portland, Ore. And after several years and lineup changes, the band as it stands doesn’t seem to play out much, if at all, from what I can tell. But I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that in their heyday, they made their mark on the Northwest rock scene, and even the world, one dirty riff at time. Consider this: At one point they played in Spain with garage rock gods The Stooges and garage punks The Cramps. Old-school fans of the Fireballs are in for a distorted treat this week, as the band plans to play a reunion WHAT: Badlander/Palace fourth annual Halloween Party WHO: Fireballs of Freedom, Wartime Blues, The New Hijackers and others WHEN: Sat., Oct. 30, at 9 PM WHERE: Badlander/Palace complex
gig with its original lineup for the Badlander/Palace’s Halloween party on Saturday. That means you’ll get to see Troy Warling (who’s in local pop powerhouse Secret Powers) on bass and Kelly Gately (who played Total Fest in 2009 with the band Leaders) on guitar/vocals, along with drummer Sammy Adams (who played this year’s Total Fest in the band Lords of Falconry) and guitarist/vocalist Von Venner. To paraphrase the title of their second album, I think this reunion gig will be a total freaking blowout. Meanwhile, local Americana/folk faves Wartime Blues plan to cover The Flaming Lips’ Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots in its entirety, and newly formed rock band The New Hijackers plans to rock you with its rendition of the musical The Sound of Music. Hip hoppers Traffic, Tonsofun and Mite Aswel also get in on the cover action when they play a slew of old-school hiphop anthems with DJ Brand One, while DJs Kris Moon and Monty Carlo play dance tunes for the undead.

Cashing in Jess Walter banks on comedy in The Financial Lives of the Poets by Azita Osanloo
In Jess Walter’s most recent novel, The Financial Lives of the Poets, a business reporter quits his job to create a website that links poetry with financial advice. Walter’s protagonist is a dreamer and the novel itself is a stunningly realistic tragicomedy of American life in an age of foreclosure and layoffs. It’s only the most recent for the award-winning writer, who has penned more than six books in multiple genres. In advance of his gala reading at this weekend’s Montana Festival of the Book, Walter corresponded with us via email about writing, money and all the cool writers he hung out with once at The Depot. Independent: You write within multiple genres. Is there any one that’s more challenging or satisfying for you? Walter: I love all kinds of writing and often work on a few things at once (right now I’m juggling a novel, a
book of stories and a bad script rewrite.) Novels are the form I enjoy most. I find myself both emboldened and freed by the belief that every novel is, ultimately, a failure. There are huge differences in forms obviously (fiction is more immersive, a kind of self-hypnosis; nonfiction is so dependent upon research and framing; screenwriting is like writing an outline for someone else), but the act of writing itself doesn’t really change because of genre; I show up to work every morning and find the home keys, whether I’m working on a novel, a book review or a ransom note (“Leave the money in a shoe box near a whispery elm tree by a gently curling river, its water muddled like a happy hour mojito...”). Independent: E. M. Forster once remarked, “All novels are about money.” Your most recent novel, The Financial Lives of the Poets, might serve as a case in point. In that novel, your protagonist, Matthew Prior, suffers from what his financial advisor calls “fiscal Ebola” and Matt’s problems mirror those of many other American families. What compelled you to write about money matters? Walter: I wish I were the sort of writer who could say something like, “All novels are about money,” with the kind of authority that causes you to pause and think, “Hmmm, are they?” Because it seems fabulously untrue to me. Even novels that are about money aren’t really about money, since it’s usually just a symbol. Matt Prior’s money crisis is really a family crisis. He’s coming unraveled and, if anything, I’d say it’s a novel about the increased potency of weed. I was more interested in what it feels like to come undone, to be on one of those cold streaks that we all hit (certainly every writer feels that way…) in which it feels like you can’t get a break, like every decision is more stupid than the last—and in Matt’s case—hopefully funnier. If I had to say novels are about anything, I’d say they are about…300 pages. Except those that are longer. Or shorter.
Independent: In an epigraph to The Financial Lives of the Poets, you quote Saul Bellow: “Poets have to dream, and dreaming in America is no cinch.” How universally true are Bellow’s words? Walter: Very. The book’s title refers to Samuel Johnson’s The Lives of the English Poets, in which “poet” meant any kind of writer, even some philosophers. I like to think of my endangered newspaper colleagues as the poets of today. We live in a fast, fractured culture that is becoming increasingly technological, even binary, driven not by words but by numbers (how many friends do you have on Facebook? How many followers on Twitter? What’s your credit score, your grade point, your Amazon ranking?) It’s awful; I was told there would be no math. Independent: What was your first success as a writer? Walter: In my early career as a newspaper reporter, I worked on fiction at night and on the weekends for a decade before I had much success. I wrote a failed novel and sent out a bunch of short stories that were all rejected in various soul-crushing ways before I finally published anything, in the famous journal, Yawp. It was two years after that when I got my first check for writing fiction. It was for $25 from Story Magazine, for finishing in 25th place in a short story contest (the magazine went out of business not long after; apparently busted, financially and aesthetically, by allowing me in the door.) I still have that $25 check. Independent: We can’t help ourselves: Which late author would you like to meet in a bar? Walter: This is one of those trick questions where I’m supposed to show either how smart I am (I’d have grog with Cervantes) or how rare and refined my tastes (I’d have ginger sake with the late Chechen poet, Udris Calpakis), but the great thing about coming to Missoula is that you don’t have to imagine having drinks with writers because you just go to a bar and there they are! I had a swell beer with James Crumley at The Depot once and the last time I came to Missoula it was like a great writers’ hall of fame: Kevin Canty, David James Duncan and Pete Fromm at my table, Debra Earling at the table next to ours. Independent: What are you working on these days? Walter: I’m giddy to finish this novel I’ve been working on the last few years, which is about love, fame and the Donner Party. In that order. Although it just occurred to me that, like all novels, it’s really about money. Jess Walter appears with Robert Wrigley and C.J. Box for the Montana Festival of the Book gala reading Friday, Oct. 29, at 7:30 PM, in the Wilma Theatre. Free. For a full schedule of events, visit www.humanitiesmontana.org. arts@missoulanews.com

Axshinslax Slax Off self-released
If you told me to listen to an album that mixes ska, punk, arena rock, alt-country, blues, folk and 1970s glam, I would adamantly decline. The kitchen sink approach often falls flat. Local band Axshinslax, however, has found a recipe that feels right despite sprinkling in all of the above styles. The secret? Slax Off is a pretty tight pop rock album. Even when it meanders into bright horns on “Someday” or spacey reverb on “Lift Me Up,” it doesn’t lose itself. Slax Off could probably score the opening credits for a number of films about angsty love starring a young Christan Slater. Some lyrics plot cheesy stories of pining with so many clunky end-rhymes that they seem silly. A

While much of the current electronica genre seems to be made in an inorganic realm, Signal Path effective-
Lyrics Born As U Were Decon Records
On his fifth release, Bay Area emcee Lyrics Born continues his reign as a rapper with a distinctively smooth and soulful delivery. This time, though, he’s decided to take us on a pop-influenced musical journey that’s heavily drenched in the sounds of 1980s funk and synth pop. It’s well done, but an acquired taste. I can’t say I love it, mostly because rehashing the ’80s comes across as more corny than inventive these days. That’s not to say there aren’t jaw-dropping moments, particularly the tracks grounded in hip hop. “I’ve Lost Myself ” is a somber-yet-endearing tale of the toils of life that features mournful violin melodies and

slant rhyme here and there would be nice. That said, the over-rhyming works when frontman Matt Schumacher makes it obvious he’s aiming for self-aware self-deprecation. In the end, the melodies are catchy and surprising, and that makes up for the writing. It’s the mischievous country tune “Blasted” that stands out as lyrical genius with images of a dusty bar full of folks getting high while a girl with cuts on her hands bloodies the ice. It’s hard to forget a song like that. (Erika Fredrickson) Axshinslax plays a CD release party at the Top Hat Wednesday, Nov. 3, at 10 PM, with Airstream Safari. $5.

ly marries sputtering blips and rustic strings into one cohesive, intriguing sound. Songs such as “Love You Like Cash” and “Cree” showcase their affinity for earthier tones, while “Mystery of the Yeti” and “Western Moon” display an electric guitar/buzz saw synthesizer interplay evocative of Brian Eno’s early collaborations with Robert Fripp. At times, however, Imaginary Lines suffers from the electronica cliché of inserting seemingly random sound clips (hear the last minute or so of “Verbal Yes” to get a better idea). But with a wide and rich array of instrumentation and a production mix that needs to be listened to on headphones to get the full effect, Imaginary Lines is detailed and accessible enough for plenty of satisfying listens.

The Coathangers Scramble Suicide Squeeze
This Atlanta, Ga.based all-girls quartet appears to be striving for the antithesis of popular girl bands before them like The Go-Gos’ finely honed pop and the Bangles’ full, glossy production. With high-treble guitar riffs, Sid Vicious’ on-and-off bass work, drumming akin to the Shaggs’ Helen Wiggin and, most noticeably, tinny vocals oddly reminiscent of juvenile playground chants, the 15-song, 33-minute recording may have one of two effects on the listener. One: it can appeal to a person’s inner—or overt—hip-
ster sensibilities for all things obscure. Or, two: annoy one to the point of shutting off the album around track three (“Stop Stomp Stompin’”), or track seven (“Pussywillow”), at the latest. This unrefined quality—which is almost certainly intentional on the parts of members Crook Kid, Minnie, Rusty and Bebe Coathanger (not to mention recorder/engineer Kris Sampson)—may translate well in an intimate live setting, but the album itself is more grating than gratifying. It might be a different story if The Coathangers were better musicians, which perhaps could give Scramble a Velvet Underground and/or Pixies appeal. Instead, these quirky rough edges come off as derivative and a bit careless, which is probably what they want you to think.

No depression Wartime Blues comes of age on the road by Erika Fredrickson
reminded them of the house shows where they first got their start. “The scene in Chicago seems very collaborative and supportive,” says Hegyi. “Sometimes you do get an idea of some towns being cutthroat a little more, but Chicago seems like a nurturing scene. It was really good for us to be there.” In August, Wartime Blues recorded at the Horseshack in Rock Island, Ill., as part of a project called the Daytrotter Sessions. The studio invites bands to take two hours out of their touring schedule and record a few songs, which are then put up on a website for the public to download for free. It’s no small deal to get an invite, either.

Members of the local folk rock band played songs together at summer potlucks in 2006, during a year when commercial venues were few. It was a heavier do-it-yourself scene then: Musicians like Two Year Touqe, Good Neighbor Policy and Travis Sehorn performed at house shows and, often, these underground parties would turn into evening jam sessions for anyone who brought an instrument. “All these people would come around and start playing,” says Nate Hegyi, Wartime Blues’ frontman. “I don’t think there was ever really a moment of asking anybody to be in the band. We just kind of kept gathering people.”

Criminal intent Animal Kingdom kicks up drama Down Under by Dave Loos
The list of Australian-made films that have made it big in the United States is a short and rather eclectic one. If you can name three others after Mad Max, Babe, Gallipoli, Priscilla: Queen of the Desert and, yes, Crocodile Dundee, I have a can of Fosters waiting for you. Sydney is a long way from Hollywood, and the Australian film industry is, of course, further hindered by the fact that their best actors (Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Hugh Jackman and pre-crazy train Mel Gibson) end up making most of their movies here.
Welcome to the Bitterroot.
What you’ll notice about the aforementioned list of Australian crossover hits is that they either tend to focus on the country’s unusually barren and alien landscape, or the Australian idiosyncrasies that we Americans find so endearing. In the case of Mick Dundee, we got a movie that focused on both, which probably explains why it spawned two horrible sequels. Animal Kingdom is a modern-day crime drama set and filmed in Melbourne, but unless you’re Australian you would never know it. It’s a gritty and dour urban tale that could happen in almost any city but just happens to take place in Australia’s secondlargest metropolis. There are no cheap gags, no jokes about Australian stereotypes and not a single panning wide-shot of the outback’s expansive scenery. These aren’t backhanded compliments, but rather pleasant observations from what has to be considered one of this year’s best surprises. Indeed, I had never even heard of this film until a few weeks ago. Animal Kingdom won’t be a box office hit in America—it’s far too small and smart for that. But it’s still the best family-crime story to come along in years, in this country or any other. The family is called the Codys, who by all appear-

“Financial Fitness”
Nightly at 7 & 9 • Sun at 1 & 3
Never Let Me Go ances are a middle-class group of criminals who dabble mostly in drugs but also the occasional armed robbery. This makes them a fairly big deal in a country mostly bereft of violent crime. The gang is comprised of three brothers—Pope, Craig and Darren—and Barry, a close family friend. They are led in no uncertain terms by Janine, the matriarch of the family, and a deliciously evil character. Janine (Jacki Weaver) is cunning, manipulative and just plain creepy: Her motherly adorations are borderline incestuous, which makes for more than a few uncomfortable moments. Yet this “Godmother” is not Animal Kingdom’s central character. That would be her 17-year-old grandson Joshua, who we meet in the film’s first scene as he unemotionally watches his mother fatally overdose on heroin. Grandma—long estranged from her daughter—arrives to pick up a grandchild she has not seen in years. Joshua ( James Frencheville), whether he wants to or not, is about to enter the family business. This is Frencheville’s first movie role, and perhaps only a newcomer could play the character of a completely overwhelmed and detached young man who appears in every scene to have just emerged from a coma. With blank stares and few words, Joshua is reacquainted with his uncles. He obviously is aware of the family business, but doesn’t seem to care one way or the other. He is content to hang out with girlfriend Nicky (Laura Wheelwright) and nod when family members ask him to do things. He is an emotionally obliterated teenager, and who can blame him? It’s a role played with similar nuance to that of Jennifer Lawrence as the 17-year-old caretaker Ree Dolly in the recent Winter’s Bone. Josh has entered the fray just as police surveillance of the family has heated up. Of particular interest to the authorities is the oldest brother Pope (Ben Mendolsohn), and before long Pope and his brothers have made themselves even more of a target. Josh, of course, is caught in the middle. The detectives want to make this family newcomer an informant before he becomes too entrenched. The first interrogation between the lead investigator (Guy Pearce, in a wonderful role) and Josh is one of the film’s best and most suspenseful scenes. Even better are the increasingly suspicious looks Josh is soon getting from his own family members. Very little proceeds conventionally and the twists are smart enough to keep the audience on edge for the latter third of the film. And did I mention Grandma is creepy? Her plots become only more diabolical as the movie progresses. Best of all, director David Michod maintains a suspenseful atmosphere without delving into melodrama. There is no glamorization of the criminal lifestyle, and what we’re left with is a film about career thugs caught in a downward spiral. As a crime drama, Animal Kingdom compares favorably to the best episodes of “The Wire,” and I can’t really think of higher praise than that. Animal Kingdom ends its run at the Wilma Theatre Thursday, Oct. 28.

ADVICE GODDESS By Amy Alkon
Turn off your PC & turn on your life.
Piano Lessons PIER PRESSURE I got laid off when my company relocated. I was unemployed for 10 months while I tried unsuccessfully to find a job. During this time, my wife resented that she was working and I was “off.” She’d criticize the housework I did, saying I never dusted or swept well enough. She also complained that all her friends are going on vacations and cruises, and not us. I reminded her that, in this economy, many people who are financially strapped take “staycations.” She said that doesn’t make her feel better, and that she took more cruises and trips before she got married. I finally found a temporary but very stressful managerial job, and she now complains that I don’t have as much time for her. Is there hope for us? —Can’t Win
GREGORY PECS I’m a 35-year-old straight man in really good shape. I’m online dating, and want to post a picture of myself shirtless. A female co-worker says no way; women will be totally turned off. Really? —Best Side Forward Take your cue from women’s magazines, which are wildly lacking in shots of men with greased pecs chopping wood and other popular gay calendar outtakes. While men are turned on by photos of the scantily clad opposite sex, that’s just not what works for women. In fact, for most women, a man who shows off his body seems girly, and sends the message that he’s vain: “I usually take my mirror on dates, but maybe I can make room for you!” Because women seeking men generally prioritize success over looks, that’s what you should be flexing, with subtlety, in your profile. It is a plus if you have the inverted vee body women favor—broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist—but that’ll come across just fine in a T-shirt and jeans. If you post a shirtless photo, your shirtlessness should seem incidental, like someone just happened to have a camera at beach volleyball…not like your shirt just happened to be off when you stepped in front of your hand which just happened to be holding your camera.

In this economy, a lot of people are going without—without meat, without medical care, without Princess Cruises with open bars and 24-hour karaoke. There you are, pounding the pavement looking for work for 10 months, and in case that isn’t emasculating enough, by the way, you’re also dusting wrong. Sure, being human, your wife might think, “Damn, I haven’t been on a cruise-ship shuffleboard court in over a year!” Being a loving partner entails not letting her every thought leap out of her mouth in the form of words—especially if you don’t exactly have a history of quitting your job to smoke pot and study patterns in the wallpaper. Acting all lovey dovey comes easy on the Lido deck, where the big question is “More Dom, darling?” To see how much love you actually have, raise glasses of tap water to an improved economy while sitting in your candle-lit living room (candlelit till you cobble together the deposit to get the lights turned back on). Because women evolved to go for providers, having a partner who’s out of a job can push a woman’s buttons. So, it is possible your wife loves you, and it’s just her fear and anxiety talking. Fear: “What if I never see another ice sculpture?!” Anxiety: “Hey! I went on more cruises before we were married!” And then there’s you, the voice of restraint, in that you don’t snap back, “Feel free to up the number again after we’re divorced!” I suggest doing what therapist Nathaniel Branden calls “an experiment in intimacy.” Spend 12 hours together in a hotel room: no books, TV, phone calls, naps or walks outside. Except for bathroom breaks, you remain together at all times. You can sit in silence if you want,
but you’re free to talk about anything, provided it’s personal (no talk of work, kids’ schoolwork, redecorating, etc.). Branden’s premise is that when all avenues of escape are closed off, couples experience real breakthroughs in communication. He says that only three times in 20 years did couples break up after the 12-hour session. Now, you two might end up Branden’s breakup number 4. Or, maybe your wife will decide that she has much to be grateful for—you, for starters, and all you’re doing to ensure that you’re only taking “staycations,” not foreclosurecations. (That’s when you permanently vacate your home and take up residence in a parking lot in your as-of-yet unrepo’d car.) You can have a lovely view of the ocean—whenever you sneak through the framed picture aisle at Wal-Mart on your way to the john.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
EMPLOYMENT
By Rob Brezsny
will start reviewing applications and arranging for interviews as early as October 21, 2010.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the Chinese province of Fujian, there used to be people who believed they could communicate directly with the dead. If they slept on the grave of the person they wished to reach, their dreams during the night might lead to a meeting with the spirit of the departed. I propose that you consider something similar, Aries. Why? Because according to my reading of the astrological omens, you would benefit from communing with your ancestors. If you can’t actually spend the night near their final resting place, find another way to contact them in dreams. Put their photos under your pillow, maybe, or hold one of their beloved objects as you sleep. Halloween costume suggestion: the ancestor whose influence you need most right now.
FINANCE & OFFICE MANAGER to conduct all organizational accounting activities and manage a busy nonprofit office. Requires minimum of two years nonprofit accounting and one year office management experience; proficiency with Quickbooks, public relations, and the capacity to work independently and as a team member. Work days are M-F, 20-25 hours/week with occasional weekend work. Starting wage is $12/hour plus benefits. #2978575 MIssoula Job Service 728-7060
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In an exhibition at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, performance artist Marina Abramovic stared into the eyes of a succession of different strangers for 700 hours. Actresses Marisa Tomei and Isabella Rossellini were among those who received her visual probes, as well as 1,400 less famous folks. I think it would be fun for you to do a variation on her ritual, Taurus. In your case, you wouldn’t do it to show off or to prove an artistic point, but rather to get closer to the allies with whom you’d like to develop a deeper bond. Are you up for some deep eye gazing? Halloween costume suggestion: a mystic seer; a god or goddess with a third eye; a superhero whose power is X-ray vision. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Have you ever seen the edible fungi known as truffles? They are bulbous, warty clumps. Because they grow underground near trees, specially trained pigs and dogs are needed to sniff out their location. In parts of Europe their taste is so highly prized that they can sell for up to $6,000 per pound. In my opinion, the truffle should be your metaphor of the month this November. I expect that you will be in the hunt for an ugly but delectable treasure, or a homely but valuable resource, or some kind of lovable monster. Halloween costume suggestion: a Frankensteinian beauty queen or underwear model, a rhino in a prom dress, a birthday cake made of lunchmeat.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t try harder, Cancerian; try easier. Don’t turn your focus into a white-hot beam of piercing intensity; relax your focus into a soft-eyed enjoyment of playing around with the possibilities. Don’t tense your sphincter, marshal your warrior ferocity, and stir up your righteous anger at how life refuses to conform to your specifications; rather, send waves of tenderness through your body, open your heart to the experiment of blending your energy with life’s unpredictable flow, and marvel at the surprising revelations and invitations that are constantly flowing your way. Halloween costume suggestions: Mr. Smooth, Ms. Velvet, Dr. Groovalicious, DJ Silky.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I wanted to change the world,” said writer Aldous Huxley. “But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.” I suggest you adopt that as your operative hypothesis, Leo. Maybe in a few weeks it’ll make sense for you to shower your loved ones with advice, and maybe you’ll eventually get re-inspired to save humanity from its foolish ways. But for now your assignment is to fix, refine, and recalibrate your own beautifully imperfect self. Halloween costume suggestion: hermit, anarchist, keeper of a gorgeous diary, do-it-yourself brain surgeon.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In last May’s national election, none of Britain’s three political parties got a majority. For a while, the country had no leader. Eventually, the rightwing Conservatives and the leftwing Liberal Democrats formed a weird coalition, making Conservative David Cameron the Prime Minister. Some people had mixed feelings about the deal. “I said it was like a cross between a bulldog and chihuahua,” London’s mayor announced, “but what I meant is it will have a fantastic hybrid vigor.” I suspect that a certain merger you have in the works, Virgo, could yield similar feelings. Halloween costume suggestion: half-bulldog, half-chihuahua; part hummingbird, part-crocodile; equal mix of Gandhi and Napoleon.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Five white tigers at a Chinese wild animal park became way too tame for their own good. Maybe they’d hung around humans too long or their lifestyle was too cushy. Whatever the reason, one of their essential instincts atrophied. A zookeeper put live chickens into their habitats, hoping they would pounce and devour, but instead they retreated as if unnerved. Tigers scared of chickens?! Since then the zoo officials have been taking measures to boost the big cats’ bravado. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because I’m worried you might be headed in the tigers’ direction. Undomesticate thyself! Halloween costume suggestion: a big fierce creature.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You could really use your own personal doorman or doorwoman—someone who would accompany you everywhere you go and help you gain entrance through the portals you encounter. In my vision of what you require, this assistant would go further. He or she would find secret camouflaged doors for you, and do the equivalent of uttering Ali Baba’s magic words “Open Sesame!” He or she would even create doors for you, allowing you to penetrate obstacles—going into carpenter mode and fashioning a passageway for you right on the spot. If you can’t find anyone to fulfill this role for you, do it yourself. Halloween costume suggestion: a doorman or doorwoman; a gatekeeper from a fairy tale.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Is the highest form of courage embodied in a soldier fighting during a war? Irish poet William Butler Yeats didn’t think so. He said that entering into the abyss of one’s deep self is equally daring. By my astrological reckoning, that will be the location of your greatest heroism in the days ahead. Your most illuminating and productive adventures will be the wrestling matches you have with the convulsive, beautiful darkness you find inside yourself. Halloween costume suggestion: a peaceful warrior.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The average spammer sends out 12,414,000 emails before snagging the money of just one gullible dupe. You’re not going to have to be quite that prolific in order to get the word out about what you have to offer, but you’ll have to be pretty persistent. Fortunately, to improve your odds and raise your chances of success, all you have to do is purify your intentions. So please check in with your deep self and make sure that your gift or idea or product or service has impeccable integrity. Halloween costume suggestion: a holy salesperson; an angel hawking real estate in paradise; a TV infomercial spokesperson for free cake.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sunlight may smell spicy or musky to you these days. The wind might have a flavor like chocolate liqueur or a ripe peach. The hum of the earth as it turns may sound like a symphony you heard once in a dream. Your body? Electric. Your soul? Sinewy. In other words, Aquarius magic is afoot. The hills are alive with future memories that taste delicious. Your feet will touch sacred ground far more than usual. Halloween costume suggestion: a character from a film that changed your life for the better.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the middle of the last century, avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger threw a masquerade party called “Come as Your Madness.” One of the invited guests was the Piscean writer Anais Nin. She appeared as the ancient fertility goddess Astarte, but with an unexpected wrinkle: She wore a birdcage over her head. This Halloween I urge you to be inspired by Nin’s decision to portray her madness as a goddess, but reject Nin’s decision to cage the head of her mad goddess. Find a disguise that allows you to embody the best and most beautiful part of your craziness, and let it roam free.

Notice of Polling Place Locations, Accessibility Designations, Voting System Exhibition, Diagrams and Voting Instructions
Statement of the Location of Precinct Polling Places and Accessibility Designations for the November 2, 2010, Federal general Election: All polling places will be open for voting from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Notice of Voting System Exhibition, Diagram and Voting Instructions: Please note that the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voting systems are on public exhibition at Missoula County Fairgroundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Election Center. Please see diagrams of the voting system(s) and ballot arrangement and instructions on voting below.
SAMPLE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO VOTE ON AN AUTOMARK VOTING SYSTEM The AutoMARK is a ballot-marking system that will be in use during the upcoming election. Its main purpose is to allow voters with disabilities and other special needs to mark a ballot privately and independently. If you wish to vote on the AutoMARK, please inform the election judge at your polling place that you would like to do so. The election judge will give you a ballot (with the stub removed) that will go in the machine. After the system accepts the ballot, the system will provide instructions on how to vote the ballot. In order to make the ballot easier to read, you can change the contrast and font size. You can mark your choices by touching the screen or by using the keypad, which features written and Braille markings. The AutoMARK system will confirm your selections on the screen and by audio. After you verify that your selections are correct, the system will fill in your choices on the ballot and print the ballot. The ballot will then go to an election judge for depositing in the ballot box. If you need assistance at any time during the process, simply request it.
SAMPLE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO VOTE ON AN M-100 PRECINCT COUNTER VOTING SYSTEM The following is a diagram for the M100 Precinct Ballot Counter that will be at each polling place.

VOTE BOTH SIDES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; CHECK BALLOT TO SEE IF THERE ARE ISSUES PRINTED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALLOT TO BE VOTED ON. 2. USE A #2 PENCIL OR BLACK INK TO MARK YOUR BALLOT. An Optical Scanner will count your ballot. If you use any other type of pen, it may not be counted correctly by the Scanner. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR BALLOT: When marking your ballot you should NOT make an X or a check mark. You should NOT cross out, erase, or use correction fluid on the ballot and if you make an error, you should request a new ballot. READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY! If you mark more candidates than you are allowed to mark for that position, it is considered an overvote. You may request a new ballot if you overvote in any race. If you do not correct your ballot, that race will not count because of the overvote; however, the remainder of your ballot will be counted. After you mark the ballot, you will be directed to place the ballot in the M-100 precinct counter, which will alert you to errors, if any, tabulate your choices and then deposit the ballot in the ballot box.
