STREET TALK

[voices] by Erika Fredrickson

Asked Tuesday on Myrtle between Third and Fifth streets This week the Indy profiles locals who work the graveyard shift. What’s the most unusual job you’ve ever worked? Follow-up: What do you think is the best job in Missoula?

Karla Theilen: I was hired as a date for an 80-year-old man, who used to be a stunt double for John Wayne, to go to a Christmas party in Darby with him. He rented a cowboy hat for me. I was 28 and it was just a date, but I got paid. Wagging the tail: Being a dog walker. When I see the buses go by with the dogs bouncing around in them I think, “That’s what I want to do!”

Chad Clark: Making stained glass. I only worked on one or two pieces. My boss did most of the design and I cut the glass and put metal trim around the edges. Water world: Being a rafting guide or a fishing guide.

Allie Smith: People sleeping on my dorm room floor who were potential students checking out my college. I got paid for it—and minimum wage in Washington is pretty good. The good life: Pouring beer at a brewery. Start late, hit the river beforehand and get off work early.

Max Barnum: When I was in eighth grade my friend and I started a lawn mowing service. Our only customer was his mom’s friend, but when we showed up at her house we didn’t end up mowing any lawns. We just had to move all of her old 1980s-style workout equipment out of her garage. Film fantasy: I work at Warm Springs Productions and I get to travel all over the country making documentary television. It’s a really great job.

Slap in the face Recently the Montana Legislative Education and Local Government Interim Committee voted against amending a law that would require concussion policies to be in place for all of Montana’s youth athletes who play sports outside of school-sanctioned athletics. According to a recent survey by the University of Montana, about a third of youth sports groups do not have concussion policies and are not required to do so under the current law. The committee’s failure to amend the current legislation means that almost onethird of Montana’s youth athletes may be in danger of repetitive brain injury by not receiving an initial proper assessment and treatment in the event they sustain a brain injury. The Brain Injury Alliance of Montana, having been a longtime and steadfast proponent of and having collaborated with the drafting of the original language for the Dylan Steigers’ Protection of Youth Athletes Act, are extremely disappointed by the decision made by the committee. By leaving the legislation “as is,” as motioned by Sen. Matthew Rosendale, R-Glendive, and passed 7-3 by other committee members, our legislators have done a blatant disservice to the children of the state of Montana. The vote is essentially a slap in the face to the countless individuals who devoted significant time, resources and energy to inform and educate legislators on the immediate and long-term consequences of repetitive brain injury and the importance of an evidence-based strategy to ensure our youth are protected. The committee’s vote reflects a sudden change of favorable momentum noted at the committee’s January hearing. Moreover, throughout the months of meetings held by this committee there was never any public opposition to expansion, and included the support of a panel of executives from three unsanctioned sports organizations. It is unfortunate that with the exception of Sen. Jill Cohenour, D-East Helena, Rep. Moffie Funk, D-Helena, and Rep. Jean Price, D-Great Falls, the majority of committee members seemingly chose to focus on regulation and liability as reasons to leave this important work undone. Our work is not done and the Brain Injury Alliance of Montana will continue to actively promote equal safety standards for all Montana youth athletes in our continuing effort to bring awareness to, and the prevention of, brain injury.

hammer. When I finally escaped, he threatened to kill me. He’s now where he belongs—in prison—but even with him there I still, even years later, have to convince myself it’s okay to feel safe. It’s an experience shared by many victims of violent crime. Even after justice is served and the offender is locked away behind bars, the trauma of the experience persists. And I know all too well how it can affect your job and your relationships with other people. What can make it even worse for victims of crime is when the criminal justice system fails to work for them. Don’t get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for the hardworking law enforcement officials and usually they get it right. But today in Montana when something goes wrong, victims of crime have no recourse because they do not have the same rights as offenders.

“We demand they put a stop to the shenanigans and give us back our democracy.”

It’s time to change that. It’s time we made the rights of victims equal to the rights of individuals accused or convicted of crime. And that’s why we need Marsy’s Law for Montana. Marsy’s Law is a proposed amendment to the Montana Constitution that will establish a Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights. Those rights include the right to be notified of proceedings in your case, the right to be heard at proceedings and the right to be notified of changes in your offender’s custodial status. Most states already provide constitutional rights for victims of crime. Montana is one in the minority that does not. We can change that—voters will have an opportunity to enact Marsy’s Law for Montana in this November’s election. Crime victims from around Montana have been speaking out in their support of Marsy’s Law. I’ve shared my story with many and the main point that I always drive home is that anyone can be a victim. And if you do find yourself in that unfortunate situation, you want your rights to be respected. Reforms like Marsy Law can’t fix all of

the problems that victims of crime face— for some things there’s just no way to undo all of the damage. But Marsy’s Law will fix the areas of our criminal justice system in which victims can feel underserved or neglected. Please join me in supporting Marsy’s Law for Montana—CI-116—in this year’s general election. Shari Cooper Lolo

Urgent situation On Monday, April 11, I was one of 430 protesters arrested at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., as part of a weekslong demonstration called Democracy Spring/Democracy Awakening, which began on April 1 with a 10-day, 140-mile march from Philadelphia to Washington. These coordinated events were organized to protest big-money domination in American politics as well as voter suppression and other issues facing our democracy. I had planned to stay until the final day, but for personal reasons I came home to Missoula on April 13. Since then I have watched the demonstrations unfold with great interest. As of this writing on April 18, the last day of the Democracy Awakening gathering, more than 1,000 have been arrested and thousands have rallied in Washington. Media coverage was somewhat sparse, so I am writing this letter to raise awareness in Montana of this historic action. Although the rallies were (unsurprisingly) swarming with Bernie Sanders supporters, the events’ organizers emphasized from the beginning that these were nonpartisan demonstrations, as the issue of corporate and billionaire control of our government is something that affects all voters—conservatives, independents and progressives alike. Currently there are several bills in Congress related to this issue: the Government by the People Act, the Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2015 and the Voter Empowerment Act of 2015, and the Democracy for All Amendment (as promoted by Move to Amend and many other groups). We participants are now asking you, our fellow citizens, to write your representatives regarding these bills, share information on Facebook and tweet your support for campaign-finance reform. There are also a number of online petitions to sign. The situation is urgent. There is no way these reforms will happen on their own. We the people must speak out and let our representatives know that we are watching them, we know what they are up to, and we demand they put a stop to the shenanigans and give us back our democracy.

War games

A miniature felony Played with hand-painted miniatures and measuring tape, Warhammer is a game of substantial craft. That’s why Muse Comics owner Jason Benner still cracks up each time he finds bits of broken glass leftover from the bizarre November burglary of his shop. Of course, Benner wasn’t laughing when he first came upon a shattered front door one Saturday morning. The shop’s alarm was blaring—not because the crime was fresh, but because a glitchy phone line failed to relay the message to the security firm when the break-in occurred hours earlier. Benner figured burglars must have made off with the boxes of merchandise he had stacked at the front of the shop—“My entire board game section,” he says—in preparation for the local sci-fi convention, MisCon. But the boxes were still there. So was the $200 cash that spilled from one of boxes, apparently

knocked over by accident. The register was untouched. “I walked in and the cop’s right behind me,” Benner says. “As soon as I round the counter corner there, I see my whole entire Warhammer 40K miniature wall is on the floor. “That’s when I looked at the cop and was like, ‘I have a very good idea who probably did this,’” he says. Warhammer is a tabletop strategy game where players battle by moving miniature pieces they’ve assembled and painted from kits. Warhammer 40,000 is the popular science fiction version where a dozen races of humans and aliens fight for control of the universe. Missing from Benner’s shop was $657.25 worth of these kits, everything from Space Marines to Necrons to the evil fey humanoids known as Dark Eldars. When Benner saw the display in disarray, he thought of the prior night, when two young “gentlemen,” as he calls them, were acting odd during a Magic: The Gathering card tournament. The pair Ben-

ner suspected of stealing the merchandise both visited the Warhammer display during tournament breaks “and repeatedly removed items while glancing toward the ceiling,” he told investigators. “It doesn’t take a master detective to figure out” what happened, Benner says. Especially with Katie O’Keefe’s Casino as a neighbor at the time, he adds. Benner’s shop didn’t have security cameras at its former Stephens Avenue location, but surveillance footage pulled from the casino showed two men walking toward Muse at 3:19 a.m. and then running in the opposite direction 13 minutes later as they appeared to clutch items under their coats. The Missoula County Attorney’s Office has charged Nathan Charvat and Jackson Wiles for the burglary, a felony. An arraignment hearing for Wiles is scheduled for April 21 in Missoula County District Court. A warrant for Charvat’s arrest is outstanding after he missed an initial appearance in

Benner says while helping customers at Museâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new location on South Higgins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They smashed my window, crawled underneath the hand bar to get in, pushed over all the boxes I had by the front door full of product, beelined straight to the things they wanted, grabbed whatever they could get because it was dark, stuffed it in their coats and then bolted.â&#x20AC;? Benner himself has been playing Warhammer, one of his favorite games, for 20 years. He canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of any reason the assailants would go to such lengths to get the kits, other than to build and play with them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A felony to bolster their miniature game,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Airbnb

Some tourist homes illegal For travelers seeking a homey place to stay during their visit to Missoula, sites such as Airbnb, HomeAway and FlipKey offer vacation rentals at prices comparable to hotels. But as some rental owners have learned, city laws havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet caught up with the relatively new services. Since 2007, Lane Coulston has rented out a furnished, one-bedroom bungalow in the Rattlesnake, with amenities including a shady backyard patio and fully furnished kitchen. Coulston says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken pains to get a business license and pay state lodging taxes. But last fall, when a neighbor complained to the city, Coulston found out the rental was illegal since Missoula city code only permits vacation rentals of less than 30 days in commercial zoning districts. He still doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know which neighbor complained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somebody gets a hair, you know, and they decide to punk somebody, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s within their rights to do that,â&#x20AC;? Coulston says. Ward 4 City Councilman John DiBari says he learned about the problem when Coulston reached out to him for advice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For instance, the Wilma has these things in it, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally legal because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the central business district, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allowed in that zone,â&#x20AC;? DiBari says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many hundreds around the city of Missoula are in residential districts, and those are technically illegal.â&#x20AC;? DiBari says vacation rentals by owner are called â&#x20AC;&#x153;tourist homesâ&#x20AC;? in state law. The classification dates back to the days of the Great Depression, when unemployed

travelers passing through town would stay in a spare bedroom or pitch a tent in someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backyard rather than pay for a hotel. DiBari is drafting an ordinance to reflect the modern-day use of tourist homes, though he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ironed out all the details yet. A recent search on Airbnb shows 238 rentals in Missoula. City staff are researching to see how many might be illegal. As for Coulstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rattlesnake bungalow, he says until the law changes, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only allowed by zoning to rent out the space for 30 days or longer. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to find people who want to stay for that length of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re under a real economic duress here, and we have a real interest in working this out,â&#x20AC;? Coulston says. DiBari hopes to bring the discussion about tourist homes before the Land Use and Planning Committee as soon as May 11. Kate Whittle

Sustainability

Home ReSource plans ahead In 13 years, Home ReSource has grown from a small recycling nonprofit on Kent Avenue to an expansive store and community programs center, weathering a recession along the way. Last month, the nonprofit material reuse center took another big step when it purchased its building on Wyoming Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super exciting,â&#x20AC;? says Katie Deuel, executive director of Home ReSource. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the culmination of about two and a half years of consideration on a lot of fronts, a lot of hard work.â&#x20AC;? The purchase means Home ReSource can expand, once the two other tenants move out in coming months, and use the extra space to store materials and host its community outreach programs. Home ReSourceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission includes work reentry for adults, youth internships and the Zero Waste Ambassadors Program. Deuel says the goal is to get every fifth grader in Missoula to visit Home ReSource and learn about recycling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope it continues to be a fun and funky and educational space that really gives people the possibilities to buy materials and do creative things,â&#x20AC;? Deuel says. She adds that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heard from other communities, including Spokane, seeking to launch Home ReSource-inspired

Federal funding Montana will receive next year through the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which Congress reauthorized last December after briefly letting the 50-year-old fund expire.

Nearly 10 years have passed since Shannon Donahue stopped by the Great Bear Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Missoula office to drop off her resume, and she still remembers the sight of Chuck Jonkel pressing cider in the yard. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d met him before during her undergrad years at the University of Montana, starting with a presentation he gave on the spirit bears of coastal British Columbia. Donahue had had a lifelong interest in bears, and from the moment she first saw Jonkel speak she felt drawn to his world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just spoke so passionately about those bears and about the need for conservation,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That really stayed with me.â&#x20AC;? Today Donahue serves as the executive director of the Great Bear Foundation, a prime example of how infectious Jonkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for bears could be. As a renowned pioneer in bear biology, he inspired people across several generations to preserve and protect the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bear species. That, his cadre of admirers agree, will be his legacy. Jonkel died April 16 in Missoula at the age of 85. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His knowledge, his passion, was just contagious,â&#x20AC;? says Dave Stalling, a past president of the Montana Wildlife Federation who remembers trekking into the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness in search of grizzlies at Jonkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behest. When thinking back on the young Jonkel followers he encountered while working in the Kootenai National Forest in the early 1980s, former biologist Alan Christensen rattles off a list of names that includes many of the grizzly bear managers at work in Montana today. Jonkel was a close friend, Christensen says, recounting the time he discovered Jonkel in a dumpster behind the Libby Rosauers looking for bear bait. Back then Jonkel was one of the few experts Christensen could turn to regarding the potential impacts of logging, mining and roads on bears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Chuck probably gave everybody was a passion for the bears,â&#x20AC;? Christensen says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people that worked with him ... they all probably had their awakening in some ways through Chuck.â&#x20AC;? For Donahue, that awakening ultimately led to an ongoing documentary project on Jonkel himself, which she hopes will be complete by late next year. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so far leaned heavily on a trove of old Super 8 film from Jonkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s polar bear work in the high Arctic, but says Chuckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;so huge and so wide-spanning that it has been really challenging to try and whittle down a focus.â&#x20AC;?

nonprofits of their own. Local teachers say Home ReSourceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generosity has helped stoke studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; enthusiasm for sustainability. Rattlesnake and Target Range elementaries both brought students to Home ReSource for field trips that included a scavenger hunt and demonstration of how they could use the materials to build everything from a bike rack to a robot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of kids had no idea Home ReSource existed and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything about it,â&#x20AC;? says Rattlesnake teacher Katharine Harmon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve visited, several kids have gone back and gotten materials with their families for whatever reason.â&#x20AC;? Harmon also credits Home ReSource with helping pay for the cost of the field trip, since it can be expensive to rent buses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this huge movement in education to push engineering and art integration,â&#x20AC;? Harmon says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to come much hands-on, material-based learning, and Home ReSource is going to be so instrumental and be a huge resource for that kind of education.â&#x20AC;? Target Range teacher Dan Ries adds that educating kids about climate change and waste reduction can sometimes become politically charged. He recalls how in 2009, a teacher at Big Sky High School came under fire after showing students the pro-recycling YouTube video â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Story of Stuff.â&#x20AC;? Ries says Home ReSource has helped provide a straightforward, hands-on way to teach his class about what they can do at home to reduce waste. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You gotta do whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right for the kids and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right for parents,â&#x20AC;? Ries says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to tell the truth of the story. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not opinions, just sharing facts.â&#x20AC;? Kate Whittle

It didn’t take a psychology experiment to persuade University of Montana researcher Justin Angle that American Indian sports mascots are offensive. A comic strip that swapped the Cleveland Indians baseball team logo—the red-faced Chief Wahoo—with caricatures of other racial minorities did the trick. But many people aren’t convinced the logos are a problem. A recent poll of National Football League fans found only 25 percent believe the football team in Washington, D.C., should change its controversial name, which is considered a racial slur. Native terms and images continue to be used by Montana high schools as well. However, a study Angle published this month in the Journal of Consumer Psychology is sure to give fans more to ponder. While most of the debate over American Indian mascots plays out in opinion pages, Angle wanted to vet the claims with hard evidence. The assistant professor of marketing figured if the imagery does shape how Americans perceive Native cultures, as mascot opponents argue, he should be able to measure it. “The claim that these images, these brands, perpetuate negative stereotypes in the general population had never been tested,” he says. Using a mix of lab experiments and a field study, Angle’s research yielded a sobering, if straightforward, result: the mascots do strengthen stereotypes about Native people. Angle reached his conclusion using a type of psychology experiment that gauges the implicit, or unconscious, associations we all make. He found that participants who were first shown an American Indian chief logo, as opposed to a kangaroo logo, went on to more strongly link American Indians with “warlike” qualities. The pattern held true during a follow-up study of residents in Cleveland (the home of the Chief Wahoo logo) versus Detroit, a similar city where no professional sports teams use ethnic brands. All other factors equal, Cleveland residents saw American Indians as more “warlike” than did the Detroit residents.

On the other hand, Angle found the mascots do little to promote so-called “positive stereotypes” of Native Americans as noble or honorable, except when researchers added a related slogan beneath the logo. Angle’s findings don’t surprise Jason Begay, a UM journalism professor and president of the Native American Journalists Association. Begay hasn’t read his colleague’s paper but says the research speaks to NAJA’s longstanding concern about the

A UM study published this month provides some of the first evidence that viewing sports logos of American Indian chiefs can strengthen stereotypes.

damaging effects of mascot stereotypes that don’t reflect contemporary Native societies. He thinks empirical evidence of the mascots’ power could help advocates make the case for their removal. “A big portion of the people who don’t support it yet just don’t see why it’s a big deal,” Begay says. “It seems trivial when you’re not at the center of it.” The mascots don’t appear to affect everyone equally, Angle also found. In fact, only participants who identified as politically liberal were influenced by the imagery—a somewhat ironic outcome given that the outcry against American Indian mascots is generally seen as a progressive cause. It’s what Angle and his team expected, though, as existing research has shown that liberals’ views are

more easily changed than conservatives’. Additionally, Angle’s research suggests that some American Indian mascots are more potent than others. When Angle conducted a test of residents in Atlanta, where the Braves baseball team plays, he didn’t find the same boost in stereotypes as in Cleveland and the lab. Angle thinks this could be because the Braves’ current logo depicts a tomahawk, rather than a person. Angle says more research is needed to understand what aspects of American Indian logos can trigger stereotypical views. “If society doesn’t have the will to get rid of these things,” he says, “are there things that policymakers or the brands themselves can do to mitigate the effects?” The question is particularly relevant in Montana, where several high schools have been forced to reckon with their mascots. In 2007, the Ronan School District, whose sports teams are named the Chiefs and Maidens, agreed to remove arrowhead imagery from its gym floor after a Montana Human Rights Bureau investigator found cause that Ronan was discriminatory in its use of American Indian imagery. Hot Springs soon followed suit, changing its team name from “Savages” to “Savage Heat” and replacing its dreamcatcher logo with a flaming “H.” In Kalispell, students at Flathead High School are known as the Braves and Bravettes. The school’s primary logo is a spear, but online images also show use of an American Indian chief figure similar to the one used in Angle’s study. Asked about the possibility that the school’s imagery could strengthen stereotypes, Flathead Superintendent Mark Flatau said the district would first have to take a thorough look at the research. “If you certainly felt that was indeed the case, you’d certainly begin to have a dialogue,” he says. “Not to say that this is not something that may be worth pursuing,” he adds. “At the same time, it’s not like my door is getting knocked down because of that issue, by any means.” dbrouwer@missoulanews.com

Adding eyes Mountain Line ramps up security after “isolated incidents” by Alex Sakariassen

Over the past few months, Missoula’s public transit service has taken a number of steps to ramp up security at its downtown transfer center, which happens to be located across the parking lot from the Missoula Police Department. Those steps, which include the hiring of a private security firm, come in the wake of two incidents of alleged assault at the facility. According to Mountain Line Community Outreach Coordinator Bill Pfeiffer, the primary goal of the security increase is to “maintain more of a presence in the building and discourage any bad behavior.” “We really wanted the public to know we take this issue seriously,” Pfeiffer says, “and we want to do everything we can to improve people’s general vibe down there of safety.” The issue first flared up in late February following reports of an alleged robbery at the city’s main bus stop. Court records state the victim in that altercation told law enforcement he was struck 15 to 20 times in the head, face and chest. Pfeiffer offered little information about the second incident except to say the alleged victim happened to be the alleged assailant from the first incident. He adds the individuals involved in both altercations were already on Mountain Line’s “trespass list,” which keeps track of past violators of the agency’s code of conduct who are no longer allowed inside. “Our operations manager can’t recall us ever having to call the police for an assault other than these two incidents,” Pfeiffer says. “They were pretty isolated incidents.” Missoula Urban Transportation District board chair Andrea Davis acknowledges the incidents stirred up “some public interest and attention,” namely a letter to the Missoulian demanding the agency address the problem. However, she says Mountain Line was already working on a series of proactive measures by the time any concerns were raised. Immediately following the first incident, Davis continues, the agency’s staff agreed to start rotating supervisory personnel through the facility in two-hour shifts during all operating hours.

“It just maintains that consistent presence in the building, it discourages unlawful activity, and we really want to try to change habits of folks loitering in the space,” Davis says, adding facility improvements like better lighting and mirrors are also in the mix. According to Pfeiffer, the private security firm Black Knight was also hired to provide a constant on-site presence Monday through Saturday at a rate of $28 an hour. “We asked the staff, ‘What’s happen-

District’s board of directors meeting that May claim the security firm’s presence “helped significantly.” Davis feels the call for increased security this time around is partly a response to fewer eyes and ears in the transfer center. Subway left the facility’s retail space in early 2015, shortly after Mountain Line decided to vacate an onsite office space. Those developments created “a bit of a void in terms of presence,” Davis says. But the Missoula Police Department has been leasing the empty

ing now and what do you think needs to happen?’” Davis says. “That’s when the staff recommended looking into the potential of a private security company. The board didn’t bat an eye.” This isn’t the first time Mountain Line has employed third party security to assist with issues at the transfer center. In spring 2009, the agency retained a private security firm to conduct three to four daily walkthroughs of the facility in response to what Pfeiffer says was a group of high school students regularly loitering there. Minutes from the Urban Transportation

office for months now, she adds, and Mountain Line is actively working on securing a tenant for the retail space who can offer grab-and-go food and drink options. She doesn’t discount the possibility of reevaluating some of the recent security additions in the future. “At this point it’s not like there’s a safety crisis,” Davis says. “We had two unfortunate incidents. That said, it’s still a safe place to be. But it’ll be on our radar to evaluate it most definitely.” asakariassen@missoulanews.com

Amateur hour The Historic Preservation Commission’s knock-down, drag-out fight by Dan Brooks

Last week, members of the Historic Preservation Commission postponed their decision on whether to permit demolition of the Missoula Mercantile building. The meeting lasted four hours. In addition to the public comment period—during which one resident compared the real estate developer HomeBase Montana to ISIS, which has destroyed historic sites in Iraq and Syria—the commission addressed disagreement between city and state historic preservation officers, seemingly contradictory statements from engineer Tom Beaudette regarding the building’s structural integrity and a contentious discussion of perceived bias among commissioners. Did I mention it was a long meeting? “Most of this hearing tonight … has nothing to do with our application,” Andy Holloran of HomeBase complained. The Indy’s Derek Brouwer reports that Holloran literally threw up his hands during this remark. His frustration is understandable. Whatever decision the commission arrives at, it is not inspiring confidence en route. Just hours before last week’s meeting, city attorney Jim Nugent recommended that four members—chair Mike Monsos, vice chair Steve Adler, Kate Kolwicz and Cheryl Cote—recuse themselves for bias. It turns out Monsos and Cote have signed a “Save the Merc” petition. Along with Adler, they have also liked multiple Save the Merc postings on Facebook. Even more troublingly, city attorney Susan Firth found a February 2015 email indicating that Adler, an architect, had worked on a plan to develop residential condominiums in the Mercantile building. If he has indeed considered his own commercial development of the site, it is utterly inappropriate for him to rule on HomeBase’s application. Now is a good time to point out that the members of the Historic Preservation Commission are volunteers. They are not full-time city officials, which explains why they might interact

on social media with advocates on one side of a permitting dispute or fail to report their own interests in the building at issue. That is unprofessional behavior, but the commissioners are, by definition, amateurs. If we think of the HPC as a work of amateur government, it goes a long way to explaining why the commission has met twice in the last two months and gotten so little done. Unlike other city officials, they haven’t been trained in

“This town is growing and there will come a time when we can’t afford to wing it anymore.”

how to conduct public meetings. The members of the commission seem shaky on more than one aspect of Missoula government, including the function of the city attorney. “I am still in shock that somehow we’ve been found guilty without any due process whatsoever,” Adler told the Missoulian. I agree Nugent could have presented his request earlier and more discreetly, but talk of “guilt” and “due process” is not appropriate here. The members of the commission whom Nugent asked to recuse themselves have not been found guilty of

anything, nor were they tried. He merely advised them in his capacity as city attorney, and his advice was sound. Several members of the commission have indeed shown the appearance of bias. Cote has recused herself, but the other three have not, paving the way for a lawsuit later. Should the developers’ permit be rejected, they could argue plausibly that the commission treated them unfairly. Of all possible outcomes in this issue, that’s the one the city most wants to avoid. But what did we expect? It’s not exactly shocking to learn that the volunteers on the HPC are biased in favor of preserving historic buildings. It’s disappointing they haven’t done a better job of acting like professional public officers, but it’s not exactly something we can complain about. To do so would be like hiring the neighbor kid to paint the fence and then being outraged when he doesn’t wear a respirator. The problem here is not that a volunteer commission is unreasonable. It’s that we’re poisoning the neighbor kid, so to speak. A citizen HPC is fine for putting plaques on former mansions, but we’re asking them to adjudicate a multimillion-dollar development deal— unpaid, using whatever information they can dig up, according to their own best guesses about how municipal officials ought to act. That’s a cost-effective way to do the city’s business. It’s not effective any other way, though, and in this case we seem to have gotten our money’s worth. I suppose it’s a problem that will solve itself. If we demolish enough historic buildings, we won’t need a commission to administer them. But this town is growing and there will come a time when we can’t afford to wing it anymore. History is being made all around us, even faster than we can knock it down.

TORCH PASSED TO A NEW BODY-MODIFICATION EXEMPLAR – Eva Tiamat Medusa, 55, of the Phoenix area, has almost completed her journey (she calls it “transspecieism”) to become a “mythical beast”—like a dragon video-game character—through purposeful facial scarring, surgical implants and even removal of both ears. “Tiamat” was born Richard Hernandez before becoming female and now sports such features as reptilian-style skin “scales,” green-colored “whites” of the eyes, “horns” on her forehead and, of course, breasts. (However, she is perhaps so far satisfied with one part, as she is still a “pre-op” transsexual.) GOVERNMENT IN ACTION – The Pentagon admitted recently that it has no way to know how many parts or devices are in its equipment inventory—except by going through its estimated 30 million contracts (on the text-unsearchable electronic database) one by one. For a recent Freedom of Information request from a software developer (for the Pentagon’s number of “HotPlug” power-extenders for computers), it quoted a retrieval price of $660 million to cover 15 million hours of work. Wait, What? (1) The most recent problem with the Defense Department’s prospective, ultra-modern F-35 fighter jet, revealed in March, is that its “radar control” sometimes malfunctions and that system updates will not be ready until 2020. In the interim, an Air Force official advised that, as a workaround, the radar could be turned off and then back on again (similar to restarting a glitchy computer). (2) Michael Ford, 36, a U.S. Embassy staff member in London, was sentenced in March to 57 months in prison for having run a “sextortion” email scheme preying on young girls—from his heavily monitored embassy computer workstation, operating undetected for two years. (One workday last April, for example, he sent 800 emails from his desk “phishing” for gullible social media users.) POLICE REPORT – Ms. Charli Jones Parker, a teacher and girls’ basketball coach at the Pickens Academy (Pickens County, Alabama) was arrested on March 28 and charged with having sex with an underage male student. Her husband, James Parker, a math teacher and coach at Pickens, was arrested two days later and charged with having sex with an underage female former student. The district attorney said the incidents were unrelated and resulted from separate investigations. LEADING ECONOMIC INDICATORS – Inequality on Parade: (1) The city council in Palo Alto, California, trying to retain some of its Silicon Valley non-millionaires, proposed a subsidy plan in March to help with steep housing costs. In a town where tiny homes sell for $2 million (and are immediately knocked down and rebuilt), subsidies will be available even to families earning $250,000 a year. (2) In February, a family court in England reduced the child-support payments from hedge fund financier Christopher Rokos to the mother of his 7-year-old son from the equivalent of about $17,000 a month to about $11,300— though that amount includes more than $1,200 a month for “wine” (perhaps, in case the kid is a handful). The giant HSBC Bank, which was let off the hook in 2012 for its money-laundering by paying a $1.9 billion settlement and promising to vigilantly guard against future money laundering, was revealed in March to be regressing. HSBC’s monitor said that the bank somehow failed to stop transactions by a company whose professed business included exporting miniskirts to Iran (which would be against international sanctions but also not exactly smart business). In another incident, a 19-year-old Mexican man in the drug-cartel-intensive Sinaloa state was allowed to open a private-wealth account with just a bagful of cash, claiming to be a “shrimp farmer.” LATEST RELIGIOUS MESSAGES – In March, Kingdom Church, in the south London district of Camberwell, was fined the equivalent of about $10,900 by the Southwark Council for its amplified music and incessant “loud preaching,” ritually performed “almost daily” at around 3 a.m. A spokesperson told the London Evening Standard that the timing was necessary because that is when evil spirits are most likely to be present. SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS – Downloads and Uploads: (1) A new weight-loss device being tested in the U.S. (”AspireAssist”) is billed as a less-expensive alternative to bariatric surgery, with the ability to evacuate up to 30 percent of recently eaten food from the stomach before digestion. A tube, through a port in the stomach, sucks (”aspirates”) the food. (2) Researchers at HRL Laboratories in California, in a recent journal article, reported that test subjects without airplane-pilot knowledge nonetheless performed flight simulations 33 percent better than a control group after the researchers uploaded electrical signals to certain piloting-helpful areas of their brains. O CANADA! – Latest Behavior Standards: (1) The town council in Bracebridge, Ontario, approved a new municipal bylaw in March ending existing prohibitions on people engaging in “yelling, shouting, hooting or similar noises.” (Other noise controls, such as on audio devices, or by humans between 11 p.m. And 7 a.m., remain in effect.) (2) Also in March, the city council in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, was considering a proposed anti-bullying bylaw prohibiting gossip or (according to the National Post) “rumor-mongering, name-calling, taunting, mocking and ostracizing”—not only in the streets and parks but in “public” places such as bars and restaurants. THE UNDERRATED GOLDFISH – Veterinarian Tristan Rich, in Melbourne, Australia, was credited in March with saving the life of a 9-year-old goldfish (“Bubbles”) by removing its brain tumor. Dr. Rich had to first figure out how to keep Bubbles out of water long enough to operate, but finally rigged a contraption to continually splash water over the gills. This was Dr. Rich’s second heroic goldfish surgery. (Bubbles’ breed was not reported; ordinary goldfish can be purchased for less than $1.)

hen most of Missoula starts to wind down and head toward bed, a significant number of local workers are just clocking in to start their shift. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, one in five employees in the U.S. works during the evening, at night or on rotating shifts, and as many as 15 million people work something other than a normal 9-to-5 schedule. In Missoula, the people behind those statistics can be found everywhere from the Walmart Supercenter to Montana Snowbowl, from the grill at the Oxford to the 9-1-1 call center, from the local homeless shelter to the family farm. They don’t fit into any one demographic, but they do fill a vital and often overlooked part of what makes Missoula run. Here we take a closer look at six places that burn the midnight oil.

CLOSE QUARTERS To work in a 9-1-1 center is to live a lucid dream. It’s a kind of hyperactive state that takes place in a capsule, where commanding and observing tumble over one another through the churn of calls dis-

patcher Judy Shuffield says “doesn’t never stop” during the 12 hours she’s seated in front of six flashing screens, nor when the next person takes her place. The ringing and flashing are still going when she returns to the center, either at 7 a.m. or 7 p.m. There are no windows in the Missoula County 9-1-1 Center, located beneath the county courthouse, so it might be easy to lose track of the hour while cloistered behind soundproof walls and soaking in fluorescent light. This time of year, the sun’s always faint at shift change. But to a dispatcher, the difference between the two shifts is plain as day. Shuffield hasn’t worked nightside in six months, and on a recent March day her shift flip is approaching. Dispatchers, who bid their schedules annually, typically rotate days and nights every three months. The change will feel like she’s taken a new job, Shuffield says. More calls to juggle, and different kinds. Nighttime emergencies tend to be situations “in progress,” such as DUIs, assaults and disturbances, where dispatchers aren’t just conveying a message but helping manage a volatile scene. Night calls are appealing to many dispatchers, though only some can structure

their lives around the shift. Dispatcher Jen Soule can’t. “I would prefer the work on night shift, but I like my life better when I work day shift,” she says. “You obviously can’t date anybody when you’re working night shift.” The changeover to nights will also strain Shuffield’s body. She has diabetes, and becoming nocturnal every three months throws her blood sugar off balance. But dispatching is foremost an emotional line of work, even for someone who’s been doing it for nine years. “Your emotions are up and down the whole shift,” she says. Shuffield remembers one call, from a woman performing CPR to an injured partner in the woods. While on the phone with the woman, Shuffield was helping direct emergency responders to the scene. She told the 12-year-old girl with the caller to scream for help. “You can hear all this in the background, and then you hear the helicopter come over trying to find them, then the officers couldn’t hear that little girl anymore so they sent the helicopter away,” Shuffield says. “Then the person on the phone doing CPR is freaking out because

help has left now. It’s this big emotional thing, and then when you finally get [responders] there, they hang up.” Shuffield didn’t expect this—the final uncertainty, the sudden loss of control — when she first took the job. She had been a cook her entire life but lost her job after an injury. She didn’t even own a computer when she applied to the 9-1-1 center. But a career in helping others appealed to her. “When I first started, I thought I was here to save the world. You want to help everybody, even the little lady who wants to save the squirrel that just got ran over,” she says. “You have to kind of balance what you can and can’t do. We’re not superheroes, but there’s days where you leave and feel, I did really good today. Then there’s days you leave and feel defeated.” Dispatchers don’t leave the 9-1-1 center during their shift. They stash their belongings in a row of lockers and their lunch in the kitchen. When five dispatchers are on duty, each gets 30 minutes for lunch away from their stations. Otherwise, they eat at their desk. On breaks, or after difficult moments, Shuffield can find respite in the “quiet room,” a small space with a recliner.

“There’s times when you have to get up and leave the room for a minute, go compose yourself,” she says. “I’m not above saying that I’ve cried. I have. Sometimes just walking away and getting a glass of water, getting yourself 5-10 minutes out of the room can kind of regroup it. Then there’s other times when you have to talk about it and let it out, or else it affects your whole night.” Shuffield says she often just talks to the room, to no one in particular. Her colleagues are used to it. The same crews work together for a year, learning how to support each other in close quarters. Their lockers are decorated with funny notes, jokes and apologies from children who accidentally dialed 9-1-1.

blink-inducing neon lighting. The constant computerized dings from scanned items at more than 25 different checkout lines. The first stacks of “rollback” specials, placed in such a way that you can’t help but consider the need for a “party size” bag of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips or a variety pack of Clorox disinfectant wipes. The one thing not jostling for your attention? Music. Unless it’s after midnight at the supercenter on Mullan Road. Then, and throughout the eerily quiet early morning inside the 24-hour megastore, shoppers and the overnight crew can hear the docile tones of Walmart Radio playing over the PA system.

things like hot rollbacks during heavy traffic, we’re contributing to a better experience for everyone,” explained marketing manager Russell Bloodworth in a press release. “It has reopened a line of communication that so many associates wanted back.” But on a recent night, Walmart Radio is mainly serving to fill the silence. A few scattered shoppers walk the aisles, but they’re outnumbered by approximately 26 associates—more than the Indy’s total workforce—who make up the supercenter’s usual graveyard shift. Between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., the night staff is mostly responsible for unloading, unpacking and shelving new freight that sits on pallets in aisles throughout the store.

than react to a constant crush of customers. One employee had the choice of day or night shifts and decided long ago to stick with the night hours. When asked why, they stopped dead in their tracks and shot a look before asking rhetorically, “Have you been here during the day?” Like any job, the supercenter has its regulars. Longtime employees know they’ll get a “rush” after bar break, when bartenders and waitstaff often make a grocery run. Workers at the nearby DirecTV call center usually arrive either after clocking out at midnight or before clocking in at 4 a.m. Government-assistance funds like EBT cards and disability payments are electronically deposited at midnight on

A little more than a year ago, Walmart President and CEO Doug McMillion announced the return of the corporate-run, in-store radio station during a shareholders meeting. The move was made to improve morale among more than 1.4 million employees at more than 5,000 stores nationwide. Earlier this year, the company even launched a search for new DJs to take employee requests and help relay company information. “By mixing around-the-clock music with an associate-focused morning show and messages during off-peak hours, and customer-focused announcements on

They work in near serene conditions, accompanied this night by the pop country tunes of Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw and Carrie Underwood. At least for some employees, this calm is the appeal of working at night. Walmart’s corporate office didn’t allow anyone to speak on the record with the Indy, but a number of friendly staff still shared not only why they work this shift, but how they actually prefer it. It allows them more time with their kids—they return home in time to wake them up, make them breakfast and shuffle them to school. The night staff also feels like they actually get tasks done rather

the first of every month, and many recipients flock to the supercenter as soon as the money arrives in their account. But crowded is a relative term in the middle of the night. On this day, the line at the only open register never gets deeper than two customers. The longest wait occurs when a young couple wants to use the ATM but its system is rebooting. As the young couple leans against a nearby wall, checking their phones, the twang of Cole Swindell’s “You Should Be Here” plays on Walmart Radio and the woman starts to sway to the melody.

BIRTH OF A NEW DAY On a chilly evening right after the vernal equinox, the cow known as “207” failed to come in for the feeding with the rest of the cattle. She’d been standing off by herself for the past day or so, always in the same little section of turf, self-banished from the herd. “She’s not interested in eating, so something else is bothering her,” says Chris Line, the soft-spoken co-owner of the Line Ranch. That something else is the impending birth of a calf. This year’s first calf arrived healthy Feb. 21, but was quickly followed by three that didn’t survive. It’s been going pretty smoothly since then. The Lines—Chris, brother Tim, their mother, Ann, and their families—are expecting 24 calves this year to add to the 33 animals they currently run on the 640-acre ranch that overlooks Missoula from a southeast slope along the foot of Dean Stone Mountain. There’s no rush hour when it comes to calving—they’re born any time day or night. Tim has been checking on the gravid cows at 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. every morning, and they knew 207 was ready to pop. She decided that tonight’s the night. It’s 10 p.m. when Chris drives his pickup to the area where she’d been hanging around, and the purplish amniotic sack is hanging from under her tail like a spent weather balloon. She paces back and forth, acting more like an expectant father than a soon-to-be-ex-heifer. “First the vulva gets mucusy,” Chris explains as we sit in the truck, the wobbly cow pinned in the headlights. I stifle a gag and shoot a few photos through the windshield. “Distinct events start happening,” he says, “but it may be a couple days. Once that amniotic sac pops it starts moving things along.” The truck, which Chris uses to deliver spent brewery grain to the cattle, sways and jerks as the animals rub against it, hoping for a treat. I need to get closer, so I slip out the door and creep up toward 207. At this point the calf ’s front hooves are emerging, pointing straight out (“like Superman,” says Chris). The head is visible above the legs. I snap a couple of quick frames, then the calf sucks back into the cow like a prairie dog retreating into its hole. Contractions. After a few more prairie doggings, the head slides all the way out and the animal’s weight carries it onto the ground with a squishy plop. 207 immediately wheels around and begins chewing the sac away from the steaming newborn’s head. I will never eat pizza again. “She eats the sac to get back some of the protein she’s lost,” says Chris. Another cow moseys out of the darkness and helps 207 pull the rest of the sac

from the calf ’s head. “A midwife,” says Chris. He makes a quick inspection of the calf. “It’s a bull.” Checking the calf database on his phone, he says, “We’ll probably name this one 72.” Forty minutes after entering the world, 72 maneuvers his spindly hind legs underneath his body and pokes his rear end into the air. The front end follows. He’s standing, but not for long. He falls over like an exhausted drunk and 207 resumes the licking with a tongue so rough I can hear it scraping against calf ’s wet, spiky coat.

SHELTER FOR THE NIGHT Around 8:30 p.m., the clients of the Poverello Center who know the drill are lined up in the common areas, ready for the 8:45 check-in. It’s up to Samantha Hilliard and Eric Luongo, the two Pov staffers on shift, to make sure things keep running smoothly. That means overseeing

belligerent clients, hand out bedding and distribute sack lunches. Most of the clients are familiar faces. Some compliment Hilliard on her haircut or tell Luongo about what they did with their day. A man who looks to be in his 50s announces that he finally got hired somewhere—but it’s at Burger King. “It’s a job,” he says, ruefully. “Hey, it’s a job,” Hilliard assures him. The Pov locks its doors after the deadline for check-in, but inevitably, newcomers or returning clients will show up on the doorstep and ring the bell. One man

Cow 207 on the Line Ranch helps clean her newborn calf, known as 72. During calving season, Chris Line and his family check on the gravid cows at two-hour intervals throughout the night.

After watching the newborn stand a couple more times, Chris is satisfied that mother and calf are healthy and safe. He wheels his truck back down the dirt road, past the corral that holds a couple of problem cattle. “Hard luck cases are kept in the nursery,” he says. “One lost a calf, and the other is starting to prolapse.” The concern in his voice is plain, and it’s obvious that he cares for every animal on the Line Ranch. “That’s the hard reality,” he says. During the day Chris works the sales floor at The Living Room. Tim is a legal clerk with an office downtown, and Tim’s wife, Julie, teaches at Paxson School. “But we love our dual lives,” says Chris. “We’re gentlemen ranchers.” The ranching lifestyle is a great way to raise kids, he adds, and the shared responsibility tending the small herd allows them to engage in a lot of other activities. “I don’t know what the best of both worlds is really like,” says Chris as he

more than 130 people in a given night and up to 190 in the coldest weather. The hours are tough—newbie staffers usually start out working the 11 p.m.-7 a.m. overnight shift. Hilliard says the job is worth it. “I’m a nonprofit admin minor, so when I saw the job open at the Pov, I was like, ‘That would be great,’” Hilliard says. “I fell in love with it. It’s the most amazing job ever.” Hilliard’s resume includes six years working as a waitress in a truck-stop diner, and it comes across in her unflappably calm and caring attitude. “I didn’t drink all day,” one client tells Hilliard while she checks him in at the front desk. “That’s super great,” she says, with a bright smile. Pov staffers need to be prepared for anything. In the course of a few minutes they might need to enter client information into a database, administer alcohol breath tests, negotiate with intoxicated or

comes in late because he’d arranged to stay out and see the new Batman v. Superman movie. Things quiet down, until one confused, tired woman wearing a faded maroon sweatshirt rings the doorbell and asks to come in, saying she needs a place to stay and to get her head straight. Hilliard begins the paperwork before she realizes that the woman is listed in the Pov’s database of “permanent outs.” Since the shelter was founded in 1974, it’s accrued a long list of people who’ve been eighty-sixed for one reason or another. Intoxication and fighting, for instance, are not tolerated. Hilliard tells the woman, kindly but firmly, that she can’t stay because she was banned two years ago. The woman can fill out a form asking for her listing to be reversed, but Hilliard isn’t allowed to approve that request. The woman gets aggravated. “We have a situation here, maybe,” Hilliard says quietly to Luongo. But after

some firm negotiation, Hilliard gently coaxes the woman out the door. It’s not easy to tell people no, Hilliard says, but her priority is to keep the shelter safe for all the clients. “At first you get really super intense when you have to deal with confrontation, but then over time, deescalating somebody becomes–not easier, but—it’s how to phrase things and your tone of voice,” she says. “Where at first you’re like a scared little puppy.” After 10, it’s “lights out” at the shelter. A few clients linger at the front desk, eating late dinners and shooting the breeze with Hilliard and Luongo. A monitor behind the front desk displays 16 security cameras, which oversee the entire building. The only activity is the occasional tossing and turning of clients sleeping on mats in the dining room and day room, which serve as overflow rooms. Even in this brand-new facility, there aren’t enough beds for everyone on a regular basis, Hilliard explains. She adds that the Pov’s new West Broadway location, which opened in late 2014, is an enormous improvement over the cramped Ryman Street building, which was plagued by bedbugs. Hilliard will head out at 11, and Luongo and another staffer will monitor the front desk until 7 a.m. Luongo says a tough part of the overnight shift is waking up clients at ridiculously early hours so they can get up and get to work on time. “I have some clients who come in at 11 and go back out at 3,” Luongo says. “They barely get enough sleep, and I have to wake them up. I hate having to do it because they’re so exhausted.” Hilliard gets frustrated when she sees how many people are willing to work hard but still can’t find affordable housing in Missoula. She also knows there are other barriers, such as a felony conviction or sex-offender status, that can also keep people from finding an apartment. “It definitely makes you a little hopeless,” she says. “We just need more housing for these guys. That’s the big thing.” Kate Whittle

FIRST TRACKS Pat McKay’s radio squawks just before 5 a.m. on a recent Sunday, ending the relative silence of the cluttered maintenance shop at the base of Montana Snowbowl. The voice on the other end rattles off a short weather report that concludes with the words “no new snow.” McKay takes a pull from his coffee mug, reaches for a nearby phone and relays the info to resort owners Brad and Ronnie

Morris in a voicemail. They’ll post the report online when they wake up, McKay says. But right now they’re asleep, just like most of the rest of Missoula. Outside the loud whir of a snowcat engine echoes across the empty parking lot. The machine has been warming up for at least 15 minutes; McKay’s been warming up for an hour. Most winter weekends are like this, with him going to sleep on the hill either around 8 p.m. or, if he’s grooming all night with his crew, the moment the chairlifts shut down. As Snowbowl’s mountain manager of 27 years, McKay’s duties rarely let up, and if he does catch a reprieve in the afternoon he’s far more likely to put on his skis than take a nap. “There’s not a soul knows this mountain as well as I do,” he says. The first order of this morning is smoothing the outrun of the mogul course at the top of Sunrise Bowl. McKay climbs into the waiting cat, his mud-caked cowboy boots and trademark fedora making him look a bit like a character from some ’80s ski flick. The cab is immediately filled with the sounds of country rock radio. Heavy treads groan to life as McKay manipulates a pair of levers. His right hand grips a joystick on the center console, constantly repositioning the cat’s plow blade with a series of jerky movements. The machine crawls past the base of the Griz chair and straight up the bowl, its tiller leaving a neat corduroy trail in its wake. Though he’s been a skier for 40 years, McKay never really saw himself working at a resort until it happened. A Boise native, he’s worked around heavy equipment most of his life; he has his master plumber’s license and once owned his own business in Wyoming. He spent his first three seasons skiing at Snowbowl doing odd jobs for the mountain to pay off his pass. “I just kinda fell into it,” McKay says. “I have a really good mechanical background, I have a lot of knowledge when it comes to mechanical stuff. I just kind of fit in.” Since then McKay has gradually refined Snowbowl’s management practices. His crew covers 75 miles a night—25 miles per cat—when they groom everything, he says, and the mountain burns between 8,000 and 10,000 gallons of diesel fuel a season. But about 10 years ago, sky-rocketing diesel costs prompted McKay to completely reconfigure the overnight grooming routes, a move he claims lowered fuel costs “by 40 percent.” He’s also made it a point to hire only full-time employees to the grooming crew to ensure they get to know both the mountain and their machines intimately. It can be tough

out there, McKay says, remembering the time in 2006 when a new driver with 30 years experience skiing at Snowbowl got lost in the fog and snow. “You can take the worst snowstorm you’ve ever driven in in a car, multiply it by 10 and that’s what you’re going to be up against,” McKay says. “There will be nights you can’t see past that blade and you’re wondering, ‘Where in the heck are we going?’” The cat is a third of the way up Paradise when a call comes in on the radio.

verse when he spots a set of fresh black bear tracks just off Second Thought. A couple ski patrollers are unloading their gear in the parking lot when McKay finally rolls into the shop, and he yawns for the first time all morning just as the engine cuts out. Despite the early start, his workday won’t end until the last patroller is gone. But McKay doesn’t come off as the kind of guy who yawns twice. Daylight means skiing, skiing means work and work means another opportunity to learn a new lesson.

“It’s hard to predict and hard to plan for. You kind of never know what’s going to walk through the door.” One of the unexpected visitors of the evening is a 15-week-old Coton de Tulear named Ramses who may have ingested some Ibuprofen. One of the center’s techs, Meredith Stewart, says she’s seen this kind of thing before. Last week, an owner briefly left three dogs in their car and returned to an empty bottle of Ibuprofen. All three dogs had to come in and Stewart induced them to throw up, then picked through the contents.

Gilbert, a chihuahua, receives subcutaneous fluids for hydration from a technician at the all-night Pet Emergency Center.

One of McKay’s grooming crew says he’s at the summit with a serious hydraulic fluid leak. McKay immediately doubles back to the shop and straps two plastic containers full of the stuff to the back of his vehicle before starting the long, winding ascent again. The situation adds half an hour to the morning’s proceedings, but it’s far from the craziest mishap McKay has had to deal with. A few years back—he can’t recall exactly how many—the axle on his cat broke while grooming Sunrise. Then he got a call that another groomer had sheared a shaft on one of his drives over on Paradise. That morning, McKay says, “we were scrambling.” The sun is just rising over the horizon when McKay crests the summit. He hops down from the cab into the still morning air, checks the other cat for leaks and helps the driver top off the fluid so he can start his descent. On the ride back down, McKay switches on the Griz chair, makes a few passes over the snow on Upper Spartan and throws the cat into re-

“You’re always learning something,” McKay says. “If you don’t learn something, you didn’t do nothing that day.” Alex Sakariassen

THREE DOG NIGHT The Pet Emergency Center on South Reserve opens at 5:30 each weeknight, and animals are already waiting to get through the doors. On this particular evening, an old black dog with diabetes is being transferred from a day clinic to be monitored overnight. His eyes are shiny with cataracts, but he seems at ease when the techs greet him, settle him into a kennel bed and hook him up to a fluid pump. The staff usually begins the evening by checking in transfer patients. But because it’s one of only a couple emergency pet centers in western Montana, there are also plenty of drop-in surprises. “Occasionally we have nights where we don’t see anything, but that’s pretty rare,” says Earl Ellingson, who owns the clinic and is the current doctor on shift.

“One dog’s vomit had a suspicious amount of pink fluid in it,” Stewart says, “so that one stayed and the others got sent home.” The waiting room at the Pet Emergency Center is stocked with magazines like Cat Fancy, Dogster and Catster. Right inside the front door is a scale for larger animals and, above it, a large illustration of cats dressed up as famous Wild West outlaws. Down the hallway is an operating space for dogs and a separate one for cats. (Cats get tense at the smell of dogs, Ellingson notes.) The largest room serves as a kennel and treatment room, and includes a small pharmacy, laboratory and x-ray area. The clinic is computerized so records for any emergency care can be easily emailed to a pet’s regular veterinarian. I’ve been here before, but I barely remember it. It was late at night, a year ago, when my parents and I brought their cat in after she’d been mauled by a dog. It was a highly emotional experience. She spent the night hooked up to an IV but didn’t make it.

“We see some pretty bad things,” Ellingson says. “That’s the worst part about the job.” Ellingson sometimes works four nights in a row, but his schedule is irregular. He grew up near Hamilton, earned his degree from Colorado State University and ended up working in a day clinic in Alaska. When he got a chance to come back to Montana, he took it. He doesn’t mind the night shift, he says. He bought the clinic in 2012. “So, I must like it here a little bit,” he says, smiling. “It’s just those times when we can make things better that make it worth it. We try to be honest about how critical it might be and if they might not make it. But ultimately I don’t know if there’s a better place for them to be.” At 8 p.m. a man enters the ER with a shivering Chihuahua named Gilbert. After getting him checked in, the other tech on shift, Jodi, briefs Ellingson on the case. “We’ve got a lethargic chihuahua, presenting [symptoms] around 4 in the afternoon, with loss of coordination and seeming disoriented,” she tells him. “Has he eaten anything?” Ellingson asks. “He was eating a chicken nugget,” she says. “But he was just holding it in his mouth.” Gilbert receives subcutaneous fluids to aid in his hydration, and then the owner decides to bring him home and keep an eye on him. On most quiet nights Ellingson can get some rest, but the techs stay up all night to monitor the patients every hour. At midnight, Stewart checks on a mid-sized dog who’s recovering from gall bladder and liver surgery. She looks at his teeth and gums, then listens to his heart, which is hard to do because he’s shivering so much. She pulls hot water bottles out from under the blanket to reheat them and notices he’s urinated on the pad beneath him. “Do you want to get up?” she says. “Do you want to try?” He can’t really get up himself, so Stewart has to pull the blankets and pad out from under him. He groans gruffly and bites at her hand, but without conviction. She pets him, trying to keep him calm and distracted. “You’ve got to worry about bed sores, just like with people,” she says. “If he can’t get up on his own, even if it hurts, he’s got to have it done for him.” She turns to him, “Come on now,” she says softly. “I know it hurts.” She laughs. “I know they don’t understand, but it doesn’t stop me,” she says, “especially at 3 a.m. when I’m all on my own in this room with no one to talk to but everyone here.” Erika Fredrickson editor@missoulanews.com

If everyone is laughing Disability rights activist and comedian Michael Beers looks to get back on the short bus by Sarah Aswell

t was serendipity. Last month, Michael Beers was driving fellow disability rights activist and comedian Nina G to the airport after the duo’s week-long educational comedy tour of schools across western Montana. The tour was, in part, an experiment to see whether more comedy advocacy road trips would be possible in the future. As they made their way down Stephens Avenue, the pair spotted a short bus—the kind used specifically for students with disabilities—parked in a driveway with a “For Sale” sign in the window. Beers had been looking to buy one for years in hopes of taking it on the road with him. They pulled over immediately. The bus was owned by a former Beach Transportation driver, Gary Urquhart, who purchased the vehicle years ago with the intention of turning it into a camper. He’d never gotten around to it, but when he heard Beers’ plan for the bus, he gave him a deal on it. It would need some basic work—including new tires and a paint job—but it still had a functioning wheelchair lift, which was a must for Beers’ vision: a school-bus-turned-cool-bus, rigged for comedy tours, disability rights advocacy and education. Beers is no stranger to short buses. He was born with VACTERL association, a collection of congenital medical conditions that affected, among other things, his spine, vision, kidneys and heart. (VACTERL stands for vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal anomalies and limb abnormalities.) The most visible aspects of the condition for him are an underdeveloped right arm and hand, as well as a bit of a swagger when he walks. Adopted as a baby by a Missoula couple, his childhood was dotted with corrective surgeries that required him to use a wheelchair— and the short bus—for three years while most other kids in the neighborhood biked to school. Beers says he wasn’t the victim of teasing or bullying at school, but he did struggle with years of trying and failing to fully fit in with his peers. “I was self-conscious,” Beers says. “I wasn’t doing very well in school because I was trying to be who you were. I was trying to find a table to sit at in the lunchroom. I was trying to be exactly like you because there’s no table for adopted Native Americans with four fingers—at least that I could find.” Things started to change in middle school, with the help of a sixth grade teacher who finally convinced Beers that getting a few special accommodations (extra time on tests, books on tape) wasn’t cheating. Later, the drama teacher at Hellgate High School, Bolton Rothwell, recognized Beers’ talent for comedy. “People talk about what being a teacher is, but at the heart of it, it’s people who find kids’ superpowers,” Beers says. “They see the power in you before you do and they nurture it. Mr. Rothwell saw that I could share my experiences through humor. And

then he suggested stand-up comedy. Trying to be you was exhausting. With the help of some teachers and my family and my own process, I found out I’m a much better me than I am a you.” After graduation, Beers reluctantly attended the Montana Youth Leadership Forum, a one-week leadership training program for kids with disabilities. But it was there that he found his table in the lunchroom— and where he figured out what he really wanted to do. “For the first time, I was in the majority,” says Beers. “It was like a drug. It was just wow. I never knew that being a person with a disability made me part of a history and a culture and a language. I didn’t know about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or the ADA [Americans with Disabilities Act], a piece of legislation that granted me civil rights when I was 8 years old. After that, it was all systems go. The rest of my life was going to be comedy and advocacy.” From there, he served on the National Task Force for the Employment of Adults with Disabilities Advisory Council and in 2003 became the youth transitions coordinator at Summit Independent Living, where he helps high school students with disabilities find success after graduation. Since 2013, he has also served on the Missoula County Public Schools Board of Trustees.

Along the way, Beers established himself as one of the leading comics in the state. In his signature hood-up hoodie, baggy jeans and sneakers, he became more and more comfortable onstage, head tilted into the microphone cradled in that right hand. “I grew up in a family where humor was important,” he says. “It always made me feel better in the hospital growing up. For me, a well-timed dirty joke from my dad was way better than the get-well card with light shining through trees. There was healing in it.” In recent years, both youth programming for those with disabilities and the comedy scene in Missoula have developed significantly. Beers is at that intersection, often working behind the scenes and specifically at BASE, an all-abilities community space located in the Warehouse Mall on West Alder Street. The space, funded by Summit and grant money, has comedy and improv programming, coordinated with Homegrown Comedy founder John Howard, as well as art programming coordinated with Tyler D. Nielsen, founder of the art nonprofit A Paper Crane Company, which shares the space. “The idea of BASE is a concept taken from tag on the playground,” Beers says. “The rule is that you can’t mess with me when I’m on base. You can take a breath. This is a place that is very accepting of every-

one. But the other rule is that you can’t stay there. You need to go back to the game—out into the world.” When funding is secured (the crew has a GoFundMe page), the short bus would be a sort of BASE-onwheels, with Beers, Howard and Nielsen taking it on the road. The vision includes stops at schools for workshops, improv classes and educational stand-up, plus evening stand-up events for adults and maybe even some open mic sessions from the wheelchair lift, wherever the bus parks. “This is the bus I grew up on,” says Beers, “and now we want to drive it. While there’d certainly be a disability focus, the idea is … everyone can identify with that feeling of isolation I had, whether it’s for a day or a week or your entire life. Comedy was a bridge for me. It helped me find my voice and my opportunities. It gives you the opportunity to laugh with your peers. If everyone is laughing, you are just enjoying the moment together.” BASE hosts weekly improv shows every Thursday at 6:30 PM, and an open mic night on April 25 at 8 PM.

Finding the feel Missoula emigrants try a host of hats On their debut LP, State Center, the Hasslers seems to want to try on every hat in the Americana haberdashery. They veer from the Avett Brothers pluck and punch of “Loves Company” to the Uncle Tupelo country-rock of “Stays the Same,” then to the piano and steel guitar honky-tonk of “What Is Wisdom Anyway?” like a honeybee that can’t decide which bloom to settle on. But versatility is also a virtue and the range of flavors provided by trumpet, organ and banjo let them attack their songs from all kinds of different angles. The one constant is Matt Hassler’s voice, which sounds a lot like Jerry Garcia on one of his good days.

Erin Agner’s clear tone is a strong counterpoint, giving their harmonies a pleasing sweet-andsour blend on songs like “Oh My Dear, Oh My Darling.” Hassler reveals a few gems of imagery in his lyrics, as on “Little Blue House,” when he sings of “that little blue house up on top of the hill/ With the grass as green as a clean dollar bill.” In the greener grass of Seattle, these Missoula products are well on their way. And, you know, some people just look good in any hat. (Ednor Therriault) The Hasslers play an album release show at the Top Hat Fri., April 22, at 10 PM. Free.

Behavior, 375 Images of Angels Unsane was a band that I always wanted to like but never could. They were just a bit too dark for me. They had pictures of actual violence on their record covers and lyrics that sounded like a 16year-old watching Faces of Death for the first time. Few bands can match their level of auditory brutality. Their record Scattered, Smothered, and Covered was as close to approachable as those dudes got, and if you felt comfortable nuzzling up to that recording, well, you’ve probably had a lot of therapy in your past. Behavior is a young band from Los Angeles that sound a lot like Unsane but without the rip-the-fleshoff-of-your-adversary-and-feed-it-to-him vibe. Behavior

Featuring F eatur eaturing e K Katherine atherine Chi,

doesn’t have the feel of a Southern California band. On 375 Images of Angels, Behavior sound like they come from a land where it never stops snowing and where walking around with a gas mask on is considered business-casual. Behavior replace the drop-D burnout riffs of Unsane with twangy Fugazi intros that are catchy and accessible. But just when you think you might get to snap your fingers along with the song, they hit the wrong note and hold on to it for too long, look you in the eye—and smile. (Randy Palmer) Behavior play the VFW Sat., April 23, at 9 PM, along with Woman is the Earth, Difficult Children and Stone Elk. $5/$8 for those 18 to 20.

Robbie Fulks, Upland Stories If you’ve been waiting for Robbie Fulks to drop another South Mouth or Let’s Kill Saturday Night, you’ll have to keep waiting. I gave up trying to secondguess this guy around the time he played a show-stopping acoustic version of “Dancing Queen” at his Missoula show in the early 2000s. On 2013’s Gone Away Backward, Fulks drilled down into the sharply drawn character studies that worked to such great effect on Georgia Hard. On Upland Stories he’s tightened his focus even more, creating a set of poignant, thoughtful songs that sound like they were pulled from the hard-worked soil of the Tennessee hills. “Aunt Peg’s New Old Man” bounces along with a relaxed bluegrass feel, like an Appalachian slice of life,

celebrating a woman who “likes fiddle and Motown.” It’s gentle and genteel, without a drop of self-consciousness or artifice. Fulks’ affection for the people, places and experiences whose stories are told in these songs is obvious. His wildman yawp and stinging wit are nowhere to be found, although on the brief banjoand-fiddle “America Is a Hard Religion” he shines a stark light on those who “scratch and pull from the ground what gold it may give.” It won’t knock you out on the first listen, but Upland Stories goes deep, like a couple of Southern friends solving the problems of the universe while passing a jug between them on the front porch.

Jump high Arts and Above duo puts down roots in Missoula by Erika Fredrickson

photo courtesy of Chani Bockwinkel

Bruno Augusto and Kate Jordan perform VIEO this week at the Downtown Dance Collective.

Dancers Kate Jordan and Bruno Augusto met for the first time in passing in 2006. Jordan had just arrived to apprentice at a repertory company in Washington, D.C., and Augusto was just leaving the company. They had two conversations—unmemorable to both, except Jordan recalls Augusto asking her how she liked a piece he had choreographed. She said it was fine. They came from entirely different backgrounds and they were traveling different paths. Augusto was born in Angola to a Portuguese mother and a half-Portuguese, half-Angolan father. But he spent his formative years in Cuba on a dance scholarship, arriving at the age of 14 and staying into adulthood. “I identify myself as Cuban,” he says. “But I call home my family, wherever it is.” Jordan is from a small town near Pittsburgh, born into a family of athletes, teachers, architects, engineers and scientists. “I found this thing—dance,” she says. “And they all thought I was insane.” As stories like this go, Jordan and Augusto didn’t cross paths again until six years later. The company director at a Bay Area dance troupe called Kunst-Stoff had taken time off to promote his own solo production, and he gave the dancers the space while he was gone. Jordan and Augusto took the opportunity to work together. The first piece they made was choreographed by Jordan and involved putting Augusto in a room full of 36 milk crates. They called it Build. “It’s a piece that, depending on who is performing it, can pull out who the individual is,” Jordan says. “The crates transform and become anything but crates. It’s about finding your personal drive and it’s about your inner-child where you say, ‘How high can I jump today?’” After Build, the dancers did three more pieces together before breaking off on their own. “It was time for both of us to invest in who we

[18] Missoula Independent • April 21–April 28, 2016

are as artists—our own voices—versus working for other companies,” Jordan says. In February of this year, Jordan and Augusto, now married, moved to Missoula to get away from the city and find a nurturing arts community. They also wanted to find a home for and build on their multimedia organization, Arts and Above. Their new piece, VIEO: from the soil, which will be performed at the Downtown Dance Collective this week, is about what occurs when two people cross paths and fall in love. It’s experimental, but, Augusto says, it’s meant to be accessible and it includes live music, set and costumes designed by the duo. “Becoming a good craftsperson in dance, there’s nothing wrong with that,” says DDC director Heather Adams. “But many dancers get to a certain point in that cycle and they haven’t learned to express themselves as individuals. To approach it the way these guys are approaching it is different. It’s exciting.” Despite its subject matter, the dancers insist VIEO isn’t about them, but rather a fictional look at two people becoming one. Still, talking with them about their work, it’s clear they are their own inspiration. “So often people disguise themselves as a defense mechanism—and I understand that,” Augusto says. “But sometimes you don’t get to really see who you’re talking to. For some reason we always saw each other, artistically and in life. We didn’t date. Why do I need to date you when I already know you? For me it’s, ‘Want to jump? Let’s jump.’” Arts and Above present VIEO: in the soil at the Downtown Dance Collective Sat., April 23, and Sun., April 24, at 7:30 PM nightly. $15 at the door or $12/$10 students/advance tickets. efredrickson@missoulanews.com

Oil trail

Western Montana Clinic

Ken Ilgunas talks Keystone, Plains folk and fear

CARING FOR YOU SINCE 1922

Welcome to Our Family of Caring Physicians

by Chris La Tray

Despite tremendous opposition, the Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport oil from the tar sands of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, seemed a done deal in 2011. At the time, Ken Ilgunas was a writer between projects working as a dishwasher in Alaska. He decided in September 2012 to hitchhike 1,500 miles from Denver to Fort McMurray, Alberta, then start walking the 1,700 miles of the pipeline’s proposed route, all the way to Port Arthur, Texas. Much of the hike covered privately owned open prairie. The result became Trespassing Across America: One Man’s NeverDone-Before (and Sort of Illegal) Hike Across the Heartland. The book covers why Ilgunas embarked on the trek, the people he met along the way and the trials he had to overcome. He also covers the conditions faced by oil workers and the communities who live and die by the industry. While preparing for his next big journey—a nationwide book tour, which includes Missoula—Ilgunas shared his thoughts with the Indy on oil camps and the real and perceived fears he faced during his hike.

People who watch documentaries on factory farms suddenly want to go vegetarian. It seems some kind of exposé on the working conditions in these oil camps would generate similar compassion for the workers. KI: You should check out the documentary The Overnighters, because it does draw a good portrait of life working in the oil industry, and will make anyone feel sympathetic for what an oil worker has to deal with. So when we boast of creating all these tens of thousands of jobs for supporting the tar sands industry, we should remind ourselves that what’s going on up there is no Norman Rockwell painting.

Whenever these gigantic projects are discussed, there is always vague talk of the great jobs that will be created. You get a ride into Fort McMurray with a worker who tells you what his life is like. It isn’t too pretty, right? KI: Indeed, we talk about the need to make jobs as if it’s some universal good without taking into consideration whether or not we’re actually creating good jobs. The workers in Fort McMurray, where the tar sands are, are paid well, but they also live far from their families. These workers typically don’t lead lives enriched by civic participation, outdoor recreation, religion or other basic social institutions. I say this from experience, as I’ve lived in a couple of remote working camps. They just work a ton and then come back to their trailer or dormitory to drink, do drugs, gamble, seek prostitutes.

You talk quite a bit about your fears during the hike— animals, prairie folks threatening that if you cross soand-so’s land you’ll be shot, the weather. Were those concerns based in reality or were they evoked by other people filling your head with potential dangers? KI: The fear and sense of danger I did occasionally experience were very real. There were two times when shots were fired over my head—though I don’t think I was being targeted. And I was chased by three different types of animals. By the end of the trip, I thought I’d lost eight of my nine lives. Ken Ilgunas reads from Trespassing Across America at Fact & Fiction Wed., April 27, at 7 PM.

During your hike, plenty of folks seemed to think you were crazy—for hiking, for presumably opposing the pipeline, whatever—or that what you were doing was something incredibly dangerous. Did you feel like what you were doing was particularly crazy or dangerous? KI: The hike was certainly strange. The folks I interacted with on the Great Plains had never seen a hiker in the area, Trespassing Across America so I was often regarded as someone Ken Ilgunas who was insane, and they rarely thought How surprised were you when Preshardcover, Blue Rider Press to keep such thoughts to themselves. ident Obama put the kibosh on the 288 pages, $27 Most of the folks I encountered were Keystone XL last year? Ken Ilgunas: I was mildly surprised. I thought it very kind and generous, but anyone who’s been on an adcould go either way, but, looking back, it seemed like the venture knows there are going to be people you meet who stars were aligned for a rejection last November. The tar seem to deliberately overstate the risks of what you’re sands-obsessed Canadian prime minister, Stephen Harper, doing. I think sometimes this is rooted in a sense of envy, was ousted by Justin Trudeau. Plus, the Paris talks were and these folks want to discourage you so that you don’t coming up and I think Obama wanted a bit of momentum accomplish something they’d be envious of. And I also going into them. He’s done many good things for the en- think, especially on the Plains, that the folks out there take vironment in the last years of his presidency—all while pride in the ruggedness of their land, and in this way their contending with an obstructionist Congress—so the re- warnings were reaffirming boasts about how rugged their land is and how tough the people who dwell on it are. jection didn’t strike me as at all out of the ordinary.

Mediocre thrills We’ll enjoy Criminal 10 years from now by Molly Laich

APRIL 28-MAY 15, 2016 [20] Missoula Independent • April 21–April 28, 2016

In Criminal, a violent, psychopathic killer has been chosen by the government to host the memories of a dead CIA operative, who until very recently was the only man alive who knew how to save the world from nuclear war. The plot and its execution harkens back to a treasured time in 1990s cinema, when action thrillers like Face/Off and Waterworld were at once beloved and terrible. Criminal takes itself so seriously at times that it’s not clear to me whether director Ariel Vromen (The Iceman) knows his movie belongs in this company. We meet the doomed CIA agent (I won’t reveal the actor here, to maximize the suspense) as he’s running around London with a sack of money. He encounters the villains, a man called—get this—“The Spanish Anarchist” ( Jordi Mollà) and his mean German girlfriend (Antje Traue) and it’s all, “Where’s this guy we’re going to spend the whole movie looking for called ‘The Dutchmen?’” and “I’ll never tell!” A United States government agent named Quaker (Gary Oldman) and other suits are watching all this action unfold from surveillance feeds with seemingly unlimited access and resolution. The Cindy Crawford movie Fair Game boasted a similar technology—21 years later, it’s only a little less far-fetched. At any rate, they need to get the dead CIA agent’s memories about The Dutchmen out of his brain. Luckily, a crackpot scientist (Tommy Lee Jones) has an experimental procedure to transfer the memories over to a living subject, provided the donor has severe frontal lobe damage. Enter Kevin Costner, a violent, hilarious prisoner named Jericho, with no sense of impulse control, feelings or the basics of right and wrong. So much at stake at the hands of a violent or otherwise unlikely hero must be a common cultural fantasy, as it appears in nearly all films, including Con Air, Armageddon, Silence of the Lambs, Mr. Nanny and so on.

Hidden inside this by-the-numbers espionage thriller is a much weirder, Freaky Friday-esque, science fiction-style character study. Costner as the wild prisoner is like a big dumb kid who hits and steals. Once he gets injected with the CIA man’s sense of patriotism, empathy, worldly cunning and family values, the poor guy doesn’t know whether to pummel a lady to death or hug her. I treasured these moments of psychological complexity in an otherwise murky sea. The plot thickens when Costner’s garbled mind leads him to the CIA agent’s family home, where he meets his other self ’s wife and her daughter. “Take whatever you want,” the wife says, after Jericho barges into the house and threatens everyone’s life. “Yeah, no shit,” Jericho says. An erotic tension exists between Jericho and the wife, although I would have preferred both more eroticism and tension. Criminal isn’t going to win any beauty contests (or movie awards, or critical acclaim) but it’s a compelling enough thriller with solid performances from veteran actors—particular Costner, who’s really stretching out his feelings and swinging for the fences with the part. The film’s R-rating delivers on its promise. I don’t know why I’m always so thrilled to see a guy’s head blown off on screen, but there it is. Why do you like sunsets? This is a movie destined for the annals of mediocre cinema; we just can’t see it yet. The disappointment experienced by theatergoers of today will earn sweet dividends 10 years from now when we’re hungover in a hotel room on some lonely Saturday morning and Criminal shows up mercifully on the television. Just you wait. Criminal continues at the Carmike 12. arts@missoulanews.com

Frozen stawberry yogurt by Gabi Moskowitz I worry. I worry about the physical and emotional health of the people I love. I worry about the future, both near and far, mine and yours. I worry that the city I love so much is becoming prohibitively expensive to just about everyone. I worry that it’s really not supposed to be this warm, this early. I worry that the path I have chosen is flawed. I worry that, actually, it is perfect, but it is me who is flawed. I worry about those flaws. And worry, and worry. Sometimes, we need a break from the worry. A sweet, tangy, cold, creamy break. This is my break. It couldn’t be easier to make, so that’s good. You just need frozen strawberries (though frozen raspberries, plums, mango or peaches would be tasty, too). And some thick yogurt. And a touch of honey (though you could skip it, for a lower-sugar result—I worry about sugar sometimes, too). Simply blend it up in a food processor. Pour it into an airtight container with a fitted lid. And freeze, until it firms up (usually about 2 hours).

BROKEASS GOURMET Then scoop a bowl of worry-free bliss. For a few moments, your only worry will be locating a spoon. Ingredients 16 ounces frozen strawberries (a 1-pound bag) 1 cup Greek yogurt (any fat percentage is fine) 1 tablespoon honey (Recipe serves 4) Directions Combine the strawberries, yogurt and honey in a food processor. Puree until the mixture resembles a thick smoothie. Scrape the mixture into a bowl or plastic container with a fitted lid. Cover tightly and place in the freezer until firm, about 2 hours. Scoop into bowls and serve immediately. BrokeAss Gourmet caters to folks who want to live the high life on the cheap, with delicious recipes that are always under $20.

Underwood wine in a can

HAPPIEST HOUR What it is: A pinot noir disguised as a lukewarm can of beer, made by Oregon’s Union Wine Company.

but the flavor richens inside the mouth. The company lists raspberry, cherry and chocolate notes, but the emphasis is really on the first two. Underwood is better than cheap boxed wine and eminently drinkable.

Agenda

An abrasive talk radio personality stirs up a hornet’s nest on air, and his fiery rhetoric eventually causes a radical extremist to take action, gunning down the radio host in his driveway. Later it’s discovered that he was on a hit list, part of one of a number of ethnic groups targeted for death by the extremist group. Sound like a headline from today’s news? Maybe a video game? The next Oliver Stone movie? It actually happened, more than 30 years ago. Denver talk radio host Alan Berg was murdered in his driveway in 1984 by white supremacists after continually berating their movement on the air. Berg was one of several Jews found on a target list at one of the suspects homes. The incident did inspire an Oliver Stone movie, Talk Radio. Fast forward 18 years, and an eerily similar plotline was unfolding in the Flathead Valley. As the battle between economic development and environmental activism heated up, anti-government extremists targeted members of the environ-

mental movement, exhorted by a talk radio host, John Stokes, who called environmentalists “green slime” and “the enemy.” Green swastikas were burned, and things took a serious turn when something called Project 7 was discovered—a group of angry extremists, a cache of weapons and a hit list that targeted several local officials including the sheriff and the chief of police. The Fire Next Time, a 2002 documentary by Patrice O’Neill, chronicles the community’s efforts to diffuse the anger and figure out how friends and neighbors could have turned against each other so violently. —Ednor Therriault

et Me Tell You a Story About a Horse brings together an eclectic group of equine lovers to hear live music, indulge in great food and wine and enjoy some entertaining tales about their favorite animal. Carousel for Missoula’s annual fundraiser brings to mind my own harrowing horse tale that left a permanent scar on my soul and other parts. We lived near the top of Gharrett Ave. in the South Hills and the neighbors behind us kept three horses on a couple of acres. I’d spent a few weeks gaining the trust of these magnificent animals and they eventually let me pat them on the neck and the rub their jaws. One afternoon I walked up the hill with a shiny red apple to feed the brown mare who’d been the most resistant to my charms. As I reached out to offer the apple, she tentatively

mouthed the fruit just as my elbow made contact with the top strand of the electric fence. There was bellowing, snorting, kicking and flailing of limbs, saliva and urine spraying everywhere as the eyes rolled back until just the whites were showing. The horse didn’t like it too much either. From then on the brown mare kept her distance, eyeballing me like I was Satan offering up the sinful fruit that would drive her tiny herd from their suburban Eden. —Ednor Therriault Let Me Tell You a Story About a Horse, a fundraiser for A Carousel for Missoula, features music from the Singing Sons of Beaches, stories from pack guide Smoke Elser and more.

STOLEN BIKE — REWARD STOLEN boys 20” Mongoose bike. white and red w/4” wide tires. Taken from Travois Village between 4/1/16 and 4/4/16. REWARD 406-552-9244

SLIGHT OF HAND My boyfriend mistakenly sent me a text meant for somebody else—a real estate agent with my same first name who’s showing him apartments. This made me feel like I’m unimportant—easily confused with just anybody—and I got really upset. Of course, I know that he was just busy and multitasking. And despite knowing that he really loves me, I blow up like this a lot. —Overreactor Assuming your boyfriend isn’t 11, “do u have any openings?” isn’t a sex question. Your boyfriend’s mix-up was the sleep-eating version of texted communication. You ultimately know that, but no sooner did you get that text than your feelings started hammering on you. It’s like they were waiting to do it—like those people in folding chairs with umbrellas lined up outside some concert ticket venue. Pound! Pound! Pound! “My watch says 10:31! What the eff?!” Because fear comes up fast and there’s all this energy behind it, it’s easy to believe it’s telling you something you need to hear—and follow. But it helps to understand what neuroscience has discovered—that emotions are automatic reactions to something in your environment. They rise up (out of a sea of biochemicals) without your doing a thing. (It’s not like you have to nag, “Hey, life-sucking depression, you never visit anymore.”) Rational thought, however, takes work. You have to coax it up and give it an assignment, and then (lazy bum) it right away starts pushing for a nap. It is possible to pull reason into the mix before your emotions drag your boyfriend off for a beating. This takes preplanning—and the use, in the moment, of a technique called “cognitive reappraisal,” which involves reinterpreting your emotion-driven view of a situation in less emotional terms. This isn’t to say your alternate explanation is correct. But the immediate goal of cognitive reappraisal is not judging the truth, the whole truth, blah, blah, blah. Through your considering alternate possibilities, cognitive neuroscientist Jason Buhle and his colleagues find that you divert the action in your brain from the stress and anxiety department (Freakout Central) to the thinky parts—like the prefrontal cortex. This allows reason to put on its Coke-bottle glasses and have a closer look at what’s really going on. This, in turn, will keep you from contributing to the notion many men have that we women are operating on one flickering bar of ration-

ality. The way they see it, we have our marching orders—and we get them from outer space, via our hair accessories.

AMAZING GRAZE I’ve been married for seven years, and I’m cheating on my husband. I’ve heard that if you’re cheating, it’s because something’s missing in your relationship. But my husband is fantastic. I love him. I just long for something new and different. Help. —Torn Marriage vows are annoyingly comprehensive. Take that “Forsaking all others ...” thing. Do they really mean “allll others”? Even that hot guy in board shorts in Spin class? There are people who are under the impression that life should be COMPLETELY FUN AND EXCITING AT ALL TIMES. We call them 5-year-olds. The grown-up view acknowledges that the typical day includes a good deal of bummer management and that choices in life require making trade-offs. Marriage, for example, gives you intimacy, security, and tax breaks—with the downside that the nookie tends to lack the zing of making out with some hot stranger in the selfhelp section at Barnes & Noble. To understand how unfair you’re being to your husband, don’t just look at your cheating in sexual terms. You’re doing what neuroeconomists and anthropologists call “free-riding”—sucking up the benefits of a situation while ducking the costs. Meanwhile, if you get cancer and all of your hair falls out and getting to the toilet feels like the third leg of a triathlon, the man carrying you there will for sure be the one you meet for nooners at the motel. As for what’s missing, you have no motivation to heat up your marriage if you’re getting your heat on the side. But a relatively new area of research—embodied cognition—finds that action drives emotion, meaning that if you keep acting loving and passionate, the feelings are likely to follow. You also jazz things up by being surprising and going a little crazy— in good ways. As the country song goes, “Sing like you don’t need the money ... dance like nobody’s watchin’”—but have extramarital sex like there’s a private detective across the street with a lens the size of something NASA puts into space.

INSTRUCTION

Family Care • IV Therapy • Hormone Evaluation

By Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The writer should never be ashamed of staring,” said Aries writer Flannery O’Connor. “There is nothing that does not require his attention.” This is also true for all of you Aries folks, not just the writers among you. And the coming weeks will be an especially important time for you to cultivate a piercing gaze that sees deeply and shrewdly. You will thrive to the degree that you notice details you might normally miss or regard as unimportant. What you believe and what you think won’t be as important as what you perceive. Trust your eyes. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The ancient Greek geographer Pausanias told a story about how the famous poet Pindar got his start. One summer day, young Pindar decided to walk from his home in Thebes to a city 20 miles away. During his trek, he got tired and lay down to take a nap by the side of the road. As he slept, bees swarmed around him and coated his lips with wax. He didn’t wake up until one of the bees stung him. For anyone else, this might have been a bother. But Pindar took it as an omen that he should become a lyric poet, a composer of honeyed verses. And that’s exactly what he did in the ensuing years. I foresee you having an experience comparable to Pindar’s sometime soon, Taurus. How you interpret it will be crucial. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I measure the strength of a spirit by how much truth it can take,” said philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Measured by that standard, your strength of spirit has been growing—and may be poised to reach an all-time high. In my estimation, you now have an unusually expansive capacity to hold surprising, effervescent, catalytic truths. Do you dare invite all these insights and revelations to come pouring toward you? I hope so. I’ll be cheering you on, praying for you to be brave enough to ask for as much as you can possibly accommodate. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Göbekli Tepe was a monumental religious sanctuary built 11,600 years ago in the place we now call Turkey. Modern archaeologists are confounded by the skill and artistry with which its massive stone pillars were arranged and carved. According to conventional wisdom, humans of that era were primitive nomads who hunted animals and foraged for plants. So it’s hard to understand how they could have constructed such an impressive structure 7,000 years before the Great Pyramid of Giza. Writing in National Geographic, science journalist Charles C. Mann said, “Discovering that hunter-gatherers had constructed Göbekli Tepe was like finding that someone had built a 747 in a basement with an X-Acto knife.” In that spirit, Cancerian, I make the following prediction: In the coming months, you can accomplish a marvel that may have seemed beyond your capacity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In myths and folklore, the ember is a symbol of coiled-up power. The fire within it is controlled. It provides warmth and glow even as its raw force is contained. There are no unruly flames. How much energy is stored within? It’s a reservoir of untapped light, a promise of verve and radiance. Now please ruminate further about the ember, Leo. According to my reading of the astrological omens, it’s your core motif right now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Uh-oh. Or maybe I should instead say “Hooray!” You are slipping into the Raw Hearty Vivid Untamed Phase of your astrological cycle. The universe is nudging you in the direction of high adventure, sweet intensity, and rigorous stimulation. If you choose to resist the nudges, odds are that you’ll have more of an “uh-oh” experience. If you decide to play along, “hooray!” is the likely outcome. To help you get in the proper mood, make the following declaration: “I like to think that my bones are made from oak, my blood from a waterfall, and my heart from wild daisies.” (That’s a quote from the poet McKenzie Stauffer.) LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In many cultures, the butterfly is a symbol of transformation and rebirth. In its original state as a caterpillar, it is homely and slow-moving. After its resurrection time in the chrysalis, it becomes a lithe and lovely creature capable of flight. The mythic meaning of the moth is quite different, however. Enchanted by the flame, it’s driven so strongly toward the light that it risks burning its wings. So it’s a symbol of intense longing that may go too far. In the coming weeks, Libra, your life could turn either way. You may even vacillate between being moth-like and butterfly-like. For best results, set an intention. What exactly do you want? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I gladly abandon dreary tasks, rational scruples, reactive undertakings imposed by the world,” wrote Scorpio philosopher Roland Barthes. Why did he do this? For the sake of love, he said—even though he knew it might cause him to act like a lunatic as it freed up tremendous energy. Would you consider pursuing a course like that in the coming weeks, Scorpio? In my astrological opinion, you have earned some time off from the grind. You need a break from the numbing procession of the usual daily rhythms. Is there any captivating person, animal, adventure, or idea that might so thoroughly incite your imagination that you’d be open to acting like a lunatic lover with boundless vigor? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Difficulties illuminate existence,” says novelist Tom Robbins, “but they must be fresh and of high quality.” Your assignment, Sagittarius, is to go out in search of the freshest and highest-quality difficulties you can track down. You’re slipping into a magical phase of your astrological cycle when you will have exceptional skill at rounding up useful dilemmas and exciting riddles. Please take full advantage! Welcome this rich opportunity to outgrow and escape boring old problems. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “When I grow up, I want to be a little boy,” wrote novelist Joseph Heller in his book Something Happened. You have cosmic permission to make a comparable declaration in the coming days. In fact, you have a poetic license and a spiritual mandate to utter battle cries like that as often as the mood strikes. Feel free to embellish and improvise, as well: “When I grow up, I want to be a riot girl with a big brash attitude,” for example, or “When I grow up, I want to be a beautiful playful monster with lots of toys and fascinating friends who constantly amaze me.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In one of his diaries, author Franz Kafka made this declaration: “Life’s splendor forever lies in wait around each one of us in all of its fullness—but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.” I’m bringing this promise to your attention, Aquarius, because you have more power than usual to call forth a command performance of life’s hidden splendor. You can coax it to the surface and bid it to spill over into your daily rhythm. For best results, be magnificent as you invoke the magnificence. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’ve got a controversial message for you, Pisces. If you’re addicted to your problems or if you’re convinced that cynicism is a supreme mark of intelligence, what I’ll say may be offensive. Nevertheless, it’s my duty as your oracle to inform you of the cosmic tendencies, and so I will proceed. For the sake of your mental health and the future of your relationship with love, consider the possibility that the following counsel from French author André Gide is just what you need to hear right now: “Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation.”

Company’s Rates are Just and Reasonable PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Montana Public Service Commission (Commission) will conduct a public hearing on the Investigation of the Montana Public Service Commission into Whether Mountain Water Company’s Rates are Just and Reasonable. The public hearing will commence on May 3, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. at the

MARKETPLACE

MNAXLP GuestHouse Inn, Suites & Conference Center, 3803 Brooks St., Missoula, Montana 59804. The hearing will continue from day to day, as necessary. On January 29, 2016, the Commission voted to initiate a proceeding to inquire into whether Mountain Water Company’s current water rates for its Missoula, Montana customers are just and reasonable. On January 11, 2016, the Commission received the Joint Applicants’ Notice of Closing and Withdrawal of Joint Application (Notice) in Docket No. D2014.12.99. The Notice stated that on January 8, 2016, the sale and transfer of Western Water Stock to Liberty WWH closed, with Liberty WWH merging into Western Water and Western Water continuing as the wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Utilities. The Commission’s Proceedings, at that time were stayed by the Missoula District Court, so the Commission had not yet completed its review of the sale and transfer. The Commission’s jurisdiction over this matter is provided at Title 69, Montana Code Annotated. State law vests the PSC with “full power of supervision, regulation, and control of public utilities.” Mont. Code Ann. § 69-3-102 (2015). The PSC may at any time “upon its own motion, investigate any of the rates, tolls, charges, rules, practices, and services” of a utility. Mont. Code Ann. § 69-3-324. Rates must be “reasonable and just, and every unjust and unreasonable charge is prohibited and declared unlawful.” Mont. Code Ann. § 69-3-201. The substantive and procedural law applicable is Title 69, Montana Code Annotated, especially at Ch. 3 (public utilities), Administrative Rules of Montana Title 38, Ch. 5 (utilities), Title 2, Ch. 4, Montana Code Annotated (MAPA), Administrative Rules of Montana Title 38, Ch. 2 (PSC procedural rules), and any prior orders of the PSC which may bear on the issues presented. The hearing is for the purpose of receiving technical evidence (testimony and exhibits) addressing the investigation. Testimony submitted at hearing is subject to cross-examination. Anyone needing accommodation for a physical, hearing, or sight impairment in order to attend or participate in the hearing should contact the Commission at (406) 444-6199 at least one week prior to the hearing. The Commission will make every effort to accommodate individual impairments.

MAISEY•Maisey

is a 3-year-old female Lab/Bull Terrier mix. She is a young, energetic girl that is eager to please and ready to play. She would love an active family that will give her lots of play time in the yard. She is always so excited to see people and spins in circles when she thinks she's going to get attention. She'd make a great family dog in a home with older kids.

DUTCH•Dutch is a 2-year-old male Lab/Pointer mix. He is a goofy big boy that is pretty laid back and walks great on leash. Dutch is great with kids and doesn't mind small dogs. He loves playing in the water and would make a great camping/hiking buddy. Dutch's favorite toys are tennis balls, but he's not the most motivated dog. Outside of the shelter, Dutch has a very docile yet ready-to-please personality.

They are both very affectionate and purr the moment your hand touches them. LULA BELLE•Lula Belle is a 5-year-old female brown tabby harlequin short-haired cat. Lula is a very sweet cat who loves to find tight spaces to snuggle into. However, when you call her name, she response with the sweetest meow and slowly inches her way out to get affection. She loves attention, but is a little unsure of being picked up or carried. Lula Belle is afraid of dogs and some cats. LOREDO• Loredo is a 2-year-old male Orange Tabby. Loredo had been a neighborhood stray that everyone sort of looked after. He was brought into the shelter when an injury had abscessed and put him in a rather foul mood. He is a very precocious cat and loves to investigate everything. Loredo is alway curious about what you're doing and why you aren't giving him your undivided attention.

Jay H. Getz @Home Montana Properties ® Broker / Realtor

A fourth-generation Missoulian and consummate real estate professional, Jay is @HOME in the Missoula real estate market. A vision born of Montana, this newly formed agency has fresh branding with the same high level of professionalism and service you’ve come to expect when working beside Jay H. Getz. Jay’s primary focus of customer satisfaction is achieved by identifying a client’s needs, expectations and priorities, while supporting them throughout the entire transaction process. You’ll find Jay’s work ethic beyond reproach as he proudly brings the utmost integrity and honesty to every facet of the relationship. FAMILY: Jay and Debbie have been married for over 40 years and raised two sons. Both sons attended Target Range Elementary School and Big Sky High School where one of the experiences Jay shared with them was Boy Scouts, helping both to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. Their elder son, Jayce, earned a Ph.D. in Mathematics and is currently teaching and doing research at Duke University in Durham, NC. Jayce is married to Dr. Heekyoung Hahn, also a Duke University Mathematics professor and together they are proud parents of two daughters, Angela Park and Adsila Getz. Jay and Debbie's younger son, Joel, graduated with a Business Degree from the University of Montana and currently resides in Helena, MT, where he shares his life with Kristy Gilreath and a beautiful St. Bernard, Bode. Joel is employed as a Senior Lead Business Analyst for Northwestern Energy. Kristy, a Carroll College graduate, earned her PMP Certification and works for Sagitech Solutions on the Teacher's Pension System project. A lifelong Griz fan, Joel is also an avid supporter of the Auburn University Tigers and–thanks to Kristy–an ardent fan of the Carroll College Fighting Saints. Jay and Debbie’s latest business venture recently culminated in the opening of River Road Storage, a 400+ unit Self Storage Business located in the heart of Missoula at 2220 River Road. This secure facility contains both climate-controlled and standard units ranging in size from 5’x5’ to 14’x35’ including enclosed RV and boat storage. COMMUNITY: It is truly all about the people. Jay’s diverse background and experience are freely shared in support of local groups and civic organizations. From volunteering his time in support of organizations such as HOME Again to holding leadership positions with local boards as well as helping friends and neighbors, community matters. MARKETING EXPERIENCE: Jay’s expertise is fostered in part from a wide-ranging career in marketing spanning 25 years with the Gallo Wine Company, two years as General Manager and Vice President of Wine Sales for a local beverage distributorship and eight years with Prudential Montana Real Estate (Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Montana Properties) where he consistently earned top sales awards. Along with this experience, Jay brings many years of client satisfaction to his new company, @HOME Montana Properties.
