STREET TALK

by Mary Bradley and Bonnie Chan

Asked Monday, July 20, at Barnes & Noble Bookstore The Missoula Public Library is looking to completely revamp its main downtown location to fit the modern demands of a library and create a comprehensive community center encompassing educational resources, science and active play. What would you like to see incorporated into this grand plan? Follow-up: When and how was the last time you used the Missoula Public Library?

Zack Aschim: What they’re already planning. It sounds awesome, with spectrUM and all that. Swap-out: I think I went in three years ago, and it was through the book exchange with the school. They had a book and I couldn’t wait to have it delivered.

Karin Silverstein: Better rooms for community meetings and showing movies. They had the rooms downstairs for reading for toddlers, too, so if those rooms could be a little nicer. Wanderlust: Probably in March, when I was looking for travel books.

Chelsea Carl: More technology. That’s where books and everything are going— on the Internet. More research capabilities. I would say their technology space is a bit lacking. Techie: I used it when I was in school last semester for a research project for computer science.

Eric Ingwerson: If they can make it easily accessible for everyone, that way everyone can actually use it. It’s kind of hard to get there, but that’s not necessarily the library’s fault. That’s one big thing–parking. Second source: I went down there a couple months ago to get some books. I was doing research for a school project and I couldn’t find the books at the college. Mark Peng: It should have more isolated seating for people who are writing papers or researching. In Montgomery, Ala., there’s a used bookstore at that public library, and I imagine if many people put their used books into circulation in society, many people could benefit from that. Frequent flyer: Starting three years ago, we started going to the library once, twice or three times a week. Two days ago was when we went last.

So many wrongs The Best of Missoula issue … Yes! The article included in that July 9 issue, “A wild idea” … No! I’m hoping no one takes Allie Donahue’s interview with writer Fred Pearce seriously. While it can be daunting to hear about yet another ecological issue, nature in her natural state is still worthy of respect, wonder and protection. Pearce’s opinions and viewpoints open the road further for rationalizing the demise of our ecosystems as well as our own well-being. This approach sells our environment, as well as ourselves, short. Perhaps Pearce is motivated to sell books under the pretense of being an “environmental writer” who condones non-native species and therefore simplifies the matter for his own convenience. Well then, he is the new darling of both corporations such as Monsanto as well as those who are motivated by greed to compromise ecosystems. Sadly, his message is both dangerous and corrupt. The complexities of nature are too incredible, mysterious, as well as scientific to be summed up by Pearce’s personal opinions of allowing a free-for-all in human-centered destruction. This viewpoint is simply an old idea bundled up in fancy clothing to allow the continued ruination of something so precious and vital. Hopefully most folks see through this idea with a more discerning eye and work to protect the natural habitats and wildlife that remain rather than turn a blind eye like Pearce has done in order to absolve himself and others of the responsibility that comes with knowledge. Ethically, scientifically and spiritually there are so many wrongs with Pearce’s line of thinking. There are also so many dynamic and needed ways for us to make a difference with our time and energies rather than debate “old” vs. “new” wild. So go out there and take a hike. Pick huckleberries with loved ones. Research how amazing wolverines and pikas are, and they need alpine climates. Join advocacy groups that work for the protection of rivers, wild places and species. Turn a kid on to our incredible state of Montana native Bitterroot flower and how both humans and animals depended on and still use the little pink perennial. Above all, let’s try not to further contribute to the sacrifice of the earth but to be here with integrity. Danielia Kotler Hamilton

Shallow arguments As a native-plants grower and on-theground restorationist for many years, I’m mystified at the apparent contempt the neogreens (or “new environmentalists” as they like to call themselves) have for basic ecolog-

ical principles like discouraging invasive species from destroying habitat. It seems obvious there’s a chip-on-the-shoulder factor here that’s not being examined by unhelpful stories like Ms. Donahue’s Q&A with Fred Pearce. But there’s also a much deeper question that journalists covering the “environmental” beat need to pursue with much more vigor than they do. What we “old school environmentalists” have been talking about for the last 40 years or so is most definitively not about whether “nature” can or can’t survive the ecocides dished out by her human tenants. Of course she can. The question is whether or not that new natural world is going to continue to sustain us as a part of it or not. We “old-school environmentalists” (an oxymoronic notion if there ever was one, by the way) have never suggested going back to

“Ethically, scientifically and spiritually there are so many wrongs with Pearce’s line of thinking.”

“Eden.” Most of us don’t believe in biblical nature gardens. What we have been devoting our working lives to is the empirically driven proposition that if we humans can’t practice enough humility to quit screwing up every ecosystem we come across we will soon cease to be part of nature’s unquestionable capacity to change, as will a lot of other innocent species who, if we look deep into our mere human hearts, deserve at least as much of a break as we do. I do agree with Pearce that human nature has its darker aspects and that many people who have climbed on the trendy bandwagon of “fighting” invasive species are prone to succumbing to them. For Montanans, a readily accessible example of that darker side is our “war on weeds.” Whole counties are poisoned with known carcinogenic and mutanigenic chemicals that will, in the end, eliminate many of us from the land we seek to save in the name of … ecology? Cows? God? Us? This is, indeed, bizarre behavior and, in the end, counterproductive to the ends we purport to seek.

But equating those who see the intrinsic value of native ecosystems with anti-immigration bigots is beyond bizarre and a sure sign of that chip on the shoulder. Racism is about people hating people. We’re talking about different species here. No matter how much our hackles are up, there is the English language to consider, n'est pas? Furthermore, while I admit that being environmentally “trendy” is a shallow response to the deep ecological dilemmas we face and that it’s understandable for intelligent folks like Pearce who have studied up on the issue to get their backs up when they encounter it, it doesn’t follow that “weed warriors” are necessarily deep ecologists (or even shallow ones) any more than it follows that just because you have the word “environmentalist” on your shingle that necessarily means you are one. One glaring example of this alarming trend toward the co-option, corporatization and ultimate privatization of everything in our culture, including our language, is the oxymoronic and fabulously funded “Weyerhauser Environmental Books,” which has been responsible for seeding the corporatefriendly, neo-green message that “old-school environmentalists” are naïve romantics and that “wilderness” is “so ’60s” on college campuses for the last 25 years. The privatization of our culture is a seriously deep subject that encompasses such inyour-face attacks on democracy as sending whole ecosystems into death throes for the sake of the quarterly statement, among many other tragedies. Suffice it to say that it’s no coincidence that neo-green talking points are in step with the corporatists of the world who make good money destroying our planet. “Environmental” nonprofits or career-track professionals need, or at least desire, grant money, and any university system still telling the truth can testify as to what kind of corporate strings are attached to the big bucks these days. “We’re tired of fighting them,” you hear more and more nonprofits with a nominally “environmental” mission say. “Let’s collaborate.” Tester’s deeply flawed “wilderness bill” is just one sad example. Shallow arguments, in other words, are a poor substitute for a very deep, deep discussion we as a species are apparently unable to scratch the surface of yet. Bill LaCroix Third Growth Native Plants Hamilton Correction: Last week’s feature, “The aging revolution,” included an incorrect figure for projected Alzheimer’s cases in 2050. The Alzheimer’s Association expects 16 million people to be living with the disease by that time. The Indy regrets the error.

WEEK IN REVIEW

Wednesday, July 15

VIEWFINDER

by Joe Weston

Around 10 a.m., a 54-year-old female bicyclist collides with a car at the intersection of Pine and Orange streets. The woman is flown to a Seattle hospital with serious injuries.

Thursday, July 16 A BNSF oil train derails near Culbertson, spilling at least 35,000 gallons of crude. Nearby residents are temporarily evacuated, but no injuries are reported.

Friday, July 17 Preteen rock stars strut their stuff in a packed Top Hat for the Girls Rock Camp performance. The 16 participants, ages 7-11, learned the basics of songwriting and musicianship at a weeklong Zootown Arts Community Center summer course.

Saturday, July 18 The annual Northside-Westside Block Party, hosted by the ZACC, takes over First Street with an afternoon of live music, street tacos and Garden City Lady Arm Wrestling contests. Pabst Blue Ribbon flows accordingly.

Sunday, July 19 Downtown Missoula’s main drag becomes a temporary pedestrian promenade for the biannual Sunday Streets, with food vendors, games and yoga on the bridge, plus the inaugural BIKEapalooza parade. (Reminder: there’s no such thing as “first annual.”)

Monday, July 20 Dominic Scott Rector, 40, is charged in Missoula County Justice Court with violations including drug possession and resisting arrest. Police say that after they approached Rector July 19 about a shoplifting accusation, he tossed meth under a car and tried to hide a plastic baggie of weed in his mouth.

Tuesday, July 21 Gov. Steve Bullock orders state flags to be flown at half-mast to mark the July 17 shooting rampage at military facilities in Chattanooga. Marine Staff Sgt. David A. Wyatt, a University of Montana alumnus, was among the five victims.

A moose calf browses near its mom along the North Fork of Rock Creek on Monday, July 20.

Rattlesnake

New life for Lincoln School? Cynthia Manning doesn’t like to look at the defunct Lincoln School near her Rattlesnake Valley neighborhood. A half-dozen years ago, she and others fought to preserve it from demolition or residential development in hopes that one of Missoula’s “most endangered” historic places could become a civic hub again. Manning’s group put down several deposits but failed to meet the developer’s asking price, leaving them out the cash and with a vacant spot on Lolo Street. “It was a tough thing to swallow,” Manning says now. “I don’t drive by it because it makes me sad.” Nevertheless, she agrees to meet there last Sunday because a new future for Lincoln School is in the works. The Missoula Federal Credit Union assumed ownership of the building last year in lieu of foreclosure, then solicited proposals from

groups looking to purchase it. The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Missoula signed a buy-sell agreement earlier this month. The recent turn of events has Manning and other longtime advocates cautiously optimistic about the site’s future. Suzanne Julin, president of Preserve Historic Missoula, says the building anchors the Rattlesnake to its past as “an emblem of the valley’s transition from a ranching area to an urban area.” She and Manning are thrilled the Unitarian group says it plans to keep the school’s character as a National Register of Historic Places site while offering the space for use by other community groups as well. The Unitarian fellowship has met in a house on McLeod Avenue since forming in 1962 and is looking to expand. “Being a part of the Rattlesnake is exciting for us,” says board chair Rachel Nordhagen. “We really want to be part of our community.” The sticking point, though, will be parking.

The church must install 18 spots to obtain a conditional use permit from the city, credit union CEO Jack Lawson says. But since the last effort to revive it, the school’s former campus has become a triangular patchwork of family homes and undeveloped lots, only some of which are owned by the credit union. Parking isn’t allowed on adjacent streets. Neighbor Phil Petrilli is concerned about shoehorning a parking lot into his tiny subdivision. Homeowners are also miffed they weren’t included in the credit union’s decision making, despite a formal entreaty. “They chose to work in the shadows and not let us property owners in on what was transpiring,” Petrilli writes in an email. Lawson says his organization has been trying to make the best of a difficult situation. The city permit application will take a couple months to submit and a couple more for city council to review. In the meantime, the Unitarians want to work with neighbors to find a parking solution, Nordha-

Technology

City updating cellphone law In 2011, Missoula City Council passed an ordinance banning people from talking or texting on a cellphone while driving within city limits. In the years since, authorities have learned the law doesn’t quite cover the full gamut of ways people use their mobile devices. Councilman Jordan Hess points out one particular instance when a citizen was acquitted after proving that using the picture messaging app Snapchat wasn’t prohibited under the law’s language, which only mentions text messages. “So there’s been a few unintended consequences,” Hess says. In coming weeks, council will amend the ordinance to take into account things like GPS units and work-related calls. Hands-free headsets will still be allowed. “It’s okay to pull over and use Google Maps, but you shouldn’t be messing with it while driving,” Hess says. “[We will be] clearly delineating things like that.” At this point, the Ward 2 councilman is not sure the ordinance will be able to address new devices like the Apple Watch, which is technically a handsfree device, although it can be used to receive text messages and view data. “I think that it’s probably a dangerous thing to use while driving,” he acknowledges. “I can’t imagine that there’s a way to actually regulate that at this time. … I just want to think about the ordinance broadly, consider what are the tech-based distractions that create dangerous conditions and cause people to take their eyes off the road, and how we address those in a way that’s fair.” Clarified rules will be welcome at Missoula Municipal Court, where administrator Tina Reinicke says clerks frequently deal with argumentative citizens. “A lot of drivers use their phone as part of their employment, like their boss texting them, so we hear a lot of arguments at the counter that people have against [the citation],” she says. “Some definitions are a good idea.” A first offense costs $100, plus a $25 city surcharge. Since the cellphone ordinance was put in

place, Reinicke says 3,628 people have been convicted for driving and using a cellphone. Over the course of four years, it doesn’t seem like an excessive amount of citations to her. “If you think about it,” she says, “how many people do you see every day talking on the cellphone driving around?” Kate Whittle

Recreation

Rides for river trips It’s become something of a given that once summer heat arrives in western Montana, parking areas at popular watercraft put-ins will be packed with vehicles. Some new transportation services are aiming to capitalize on those crowds. Bonner resident Jared Broxterman and his family recently started the Missoula River Donation Shuttle for people going on tubing day trips or fishing excursions. “We saw a lot of people hitchhiking or taking the bus, so we looked around and decided to start our own makeshift shuttle business with our own vehicles,” Broxterman says. On July 3, the Missoula River Shuttle hosted an evening “Glow Float” from Bonner to the Van Buren footbridge. Broxterman and helpers distributed nontoxic glow sticks and gave rides to about 110 participants. About $150 of the proceeds were donated to X Sports 4 Vets, a local nonprofit that takes veterans out for recreation. Broxterman, who also runs the cleaning service Squeaky Clean Outs, offers rides throughout the week for a suggested donation. He usually takes his Ford F-150 truck, which can seat five people at a time.The shuttle’s operations and insurance are covered under his business license for Squeaky Clean Outs. Broxterman says that since they carry fewer than 15 people at a time, he’s not required to have a commercial driver’s license.

BY THE NUMBERS Price for cheapest units in a proposed Northside residential development aimed at buyers in the “affordable workforce” income range. Last week the Missoula Redevelopment Agency endorsed $518,000 in requested public financing to support the project.

$150,000

The service also benefits people who might have had one too many beers while on the river. “It prevents drunk driving a little bit as well,” he says. “And Missoula loves its beer, so that’s what we really strive to do. Even people who can’t drive, they can call us up and we can take them home.” Another new option for Montana river adventurers is the site Shuttle Snap, created by a Bozeman-based river guide and launched in June. Shuttle Snap connects users with available shuttle services on the waterway they’d like to float and coordinates the payment transaction. Currently, it offers service on major rivers throughout the state, including the Blackfoot, Clark Fork, Missouri and Yellowstone. Missoula-based Four Rivers Shuttle Service, which has operated since 1996, recently signed on as a Shuttle Snap provider. Four Rivers owner Thomas Boyle says his primary customers are guides and outfitters who will notify him ahead of time where to pick up their personal vehicle to move it to their take-out point. He adds that this year’s drought and fishing restrictions have been hard on business. “Last year was the best year we’ve ever had,” Boyle says. “But this year, we’re probably not gonna make half of what we did last year because of the river restrictions.” That’s not to say Boyle isn’t busy. He reports still working seven days a week logging lots of hours on scenic Montana highways. “There’s worse places to work,” he says. Kate Whittle

ETC. Almost 51 years have passed since Highlander beer was evicted from its home at the base of Waterworks Hill, clearing the way for Interstate 90 and relegating half a century worth of bottles, signs and collectible curios to the “memorabilia” pile. And while Highlander did find temporary lodging with Great Northern Brewing in 2008, the classic tartan label seemed somewhat spectral and dispossessed without a place to call home. As of this week, Highlander is vagrant no more. In the largest step to date toward full revival of the brand, owner Bob Lukes is finally welcoming craft beer fans to Highlander’s large, lavish facility just off North Reserve along the banks of Grant Creek with a July 23 grand opening. The past seven years have gradually led up to this moment, Lukes says, from its 2008 Garden City BrewFest debut to the 2010 release of Highlander in 22-ounce bomber bottles. “It’s such a dream,” he says of finally opening Highlander’s doors. “It’s hard to believe this is happening.” No scrap of the brand’s rich history has been overlooked in the new space, with old serving trays doubling as light fixtures and Lukes’ own Highlander pickup parked above the bar. But Highlander isn’t entering this latest chapter unchanged. “We are, at least for now, retiring the old tartan label,” Lukes says. The red ale rolled out seven years ago has been re-dubbed Devil’s Hump to distinguish it from the other brews Lukes is introducing. There will be six separate beers on tap during the brewery’s first few weeks, including a rye, a strawberry-infused wheat and the Mount Jumbo Northwest IPA. Eventually, though, Lukes intends to have at least 10 beers available at all times—all named for Montana peaks. Four of those brews are expected to hit shelves in bottles within the coming months as well. New brews and an in-house pizza kitchen aside, it’s the nostalgic nature of Highlander that will help Missoula’s 10th taproom stand out. As locals begin to get a feel for the fresh spin on the old label, Lukes is left to process the path that’s led Highlander out of homelessness. “I guess I’ve been thinking about this for most of my life,” he says, “and here we are. It’s numbing.”

Over the past decade, elk populations in pockets throughout the state have rocketed well beyond limits set by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Wildlife managers have employed a number of measures, including game damage hunts, in an attempt to put a dent in those numbers, yet herds in some districts now hover as high as 200 percent above FWP’s desired goals. It’s time to start testing other alternatives, says Game Management Bureau Chief John Vore, which is why FWP has proposed adding “shoulder seasons” outside the regular five-week rifle season. “We’re basically expanding the sideboards,” Vore says. “Currently our rifle season sideboards run from October … until the Sunday following Thanksgiving. That’s our sideboards. We’re just making these sideboards bigger.” A similar concept arose during this spring’s legislative session in the form of Senate Bill 245, a measure sponsored by Sen. Doug Kary, R-Billings, to allow FWP to conduct late-season cow elk hunts as needed. The bill passed but was vetoed by Gov. Steve Bullock, who felt the agency already had the authority to enact such regulations. FWP’s own proposal includes a much wider timeframe, allowing for shoulder seasons to be established any time between Aug. 15 and Feb. 15. FWP spokesman Ron Aasheim says timing is actually a contributing factor in certain populations exceeding the agency’s desired totals. Some elk have clued into the fiveweek general season, he explains, and consolidate in safe zones like wildlife refuges, private property and difficult to reach terrain. The resulting problems range from private property and resource damage to reduced tolerance for elk by landowners. Existing options like management or game damage hunts are too site-specific and too reliant on pre-established hunter lists to help the situation, Aasheim adds. FWP “needs more people on the ground.” “We’re trying to get these elk populations down to objective as quickly as possible, but we won’t get there right away,” Aasheim says. “We’ll just have to learn as we go and be more aggressive in

In an effort to drive down elk numbers in certain parts of the state, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is considering a proposal to open hunting opportunities before and after the five-week general rifle season.

reaching those numbers.” The concept of tweaking the hunting season had its fair share of detractors during the 2015 legislature, including the Montana Wildlife Federation and the Montana Sportsmen’s Alliance. J.W. Westman, a spokesman for the Laurel Rod and Gun Club, testified that the real problem with elk numbers lies not with season lengths but with the harboring of some large herds on private land inaccessible to public hunters. “We need to get to the real problem with elk numbers,” Westman wrote. “Harboring—plain and simple. Let’s work together to end that practice.” It also remains unclear what impact the establishment of shoulder seasons prior to the general rifle season would have on bowhunters, who Aasheim says account for 30 to 40 percent of the overall elk hunters in the field. Montana’s archery season usually begins in early September, giving bowhunters a roughly six-week head start on rifle hunters. In some cases, Aasheim adds, opening rifle opportunities earlier could create competition for

bowhunters, but those types of questions will have to be answered during public comment period, which ends Aug. 10. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation emerged as an early supporter of SB 245 and has extended that support to FWP’s current proposal. Tom Toman, the nonprofit’s director of science and planning, says shoulder seasons could provide more opportunities in the long run for hunters who didn’t manage to fill their freezers. Toman echoes the agency’s statements that opening elk up to hunters before or after the general season could help drive down numbers at times when the animals aren’t consolidating outside the public’s reach. “We have a lot of hunters that drive by in the early morning and see all kinds of elk out in the hay meadows and they’re headed for the mountains to hunt on Forest Service or BLM land,” Toman says. “They don’t see many up there, but they sure see a lot on the private land.” asakariassen@missoulanews.com

No comment A troubling trend with how departments deal with the media by Dan Brooks

In the long run, most medications, most of the time, take away your ability to heal. Yes, there is another way.

[10] Missoula Independent • July 23–July 30, 2015

Last week, media blogger Jim Romenesko reported that Brenda Bassett, the new public information officer in the Missoula County Sheriff ’s Office, had circulated a memo announcing an agreement with the Missoulian regarding coverage of her agency. According to Bassett, cops and courts reporter Kathryn Haake had been forbidden from interviewing anyone in the sheriff ’s office directly. Instead, the memo said, “Kate has been instructed by her editor to send all questions via email to me.” Missoulian editor Sherry Devlin, however, told a different story to Romenesko: “The Missoulian has no such arrangement or agreement with the sheriff ’s office.” She explained that Bassett tried to have Haake taken off the beat, but that “she remains our police and courts reporter and has my full support.” What we have here is an argument over facts. Bassett subsequently forwarded Romenesko an email in which Devlin appeared to agree to her plan, but Devlin said she was actually agreeing that Haake would check in with Bassett each morning, just as she does with the city police information officer. It’s a tangled web. But I am less concerned with who agreed to what than with how Bassett thinks a reporter should act. Among her complaints in the memo: “Kate often … will try to contact multiple people within our office in an attempt to get more information than what she can legally be given. In the past, she has been quite successful at it.” As a former correspondent for KPAX, Bassett should know better. When she complains that Haake “contacted multiple people … in an attempt to get more information,” she is describing a reporter’s job. As the public information officer, she can be forgiven for wanting to supervise her coworkers’ interactions with the press. But maybe the ideal county agency would welcome coverage from the newspaper. It’s no secret that the sheriff ’s office has suffered a string of scandals in the last year. Bassett’s predecessor, Paige

Pavalone, filed a lawsuit against the agency in May, alleging she was fired for political reasons. Two months earlier, the department settled another lawsuit from Deputy Rebecca Birket, who claimed she was discriminated against in an investigation of her relationship with another officer. Haake covered both stories thoroughly, just as she covered the race between Josh Clark and TJ McDermott that has divided the sheriff ’s office ever since. Basset’s memo implies these stories were reported inaccurately, but her

“Approaching a scandal in this way is like responding to a fire by running around smashing the smoke detectors.”

problem seems to be that they made her employer look bad. It’s alarming to see her pretend the role of the press is to help convince us everything is okay in her agency. But it is by no means unusual lately. Bassett’s plan to deal with problems in her office by refusing to talk about them has become an unsettling trend among county agencies. Shortly after taking office, Missoula County Attorney Kirsten Pabst forbade employees in her office from speaking to reporters. In April, she held a press conference where she condemned John Krakauer’s Missoula and declined to take questions af-

terward. It was a gutsy move, but it was not without precedent: a few months earlier, the Missoula County Public School District terminated or reassigned a series of high-ranking administrators while refusing to say why. Approaching a scandal in this way is like responding to a fire by running around smashing the smoke detectors. It might keep things quiet, but it is guaranteed to make the problem worse. School boards, county attorneys and sheriffs should welcome close scrutiny from the press, because it’s the primary way they communicate with the people who voted them into office. The moment they start hating newspaper reporters is the moment they start losing constituents. When I hear the sheriff is mad at the cops and crime reporter—or that the county attorney will take no questions or that the school board declined to comment on personnel matters—I lose confidence in that office. The truth is a sturdy shield, and county officials should stand behind it. If the Missoulian or the Indy has reported inaccurate information about their offices, they should prove it. If they cannot, then they should consider that reading unpleasant things about county agencies in the newspaper is not the problem. It’s the beginning of a solution. How do you build a better public office? Let the reporters in. You’ll know you’re doing a good job when you don’t care whom they ask about it. Until then, you are ducking your responsibility to the people who pay you. The people who vote in county elections are the people who read the newspaper. We don’t want to read a story whose only source is a PR rep any more than Haake or any other reporter wants to write it. The sheriff ’s office might be mad at Haake right now, but it should suck it up, because they both work for the same boss: us.

Not giving in One man’s quest for oil unites the opposition by Casey Perkins

Consider this scenario: One man is hell-bent on drilling for oil through the floor of a church that has stood for generations. This church is part of the social fabric that ties one generation to the next. Thousands of baptisms, marriages and funerals have occurred there. It teaches charity, forgiveness and other values that bind the community. The church is not just a building. It is also a living thing with a several-thousand-year-old history. Now look beyond this single community to see an entire people. Trade the church pews for endangered species and the holy water fonts for headwaters, and then you might get a sense of how the people of the Blackfeet Nation feel about Sidney Longwell, an oil developer from Louisiana, who is suing the federal government so he can drill for oil in the Badger-Two Medicine. The Badger-Two Medicine sits within the Lewis and Clark National Forest in northwestern Montana. It is surrounded by the Blackfeet Reservation, Glacier National Park and the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex, and is home to grizzlies, wolverines and westslope cutthroat trout. The National Register of Historic Places has listed it as a Traditional Cultural District. In a brief filed on behalf of the oil developer in 2014, however, the Mountain States Legal Foundation simply dismisses that designation, repeatedly referring to it merely as “alleged,” “purported” or even “suspicious.” Longwell’s proposed oil well would be drilled on a small ridge above a tributary of the Two Medicine River in a landscape the Blackfeet have used for thousands of years. In pooh-poohing the tribe’s desire to preserve the area, the developer’s lawyers made a bizarre argument: They suggested the Blackfeet oppose the well only because someday they might want to drill it themselves. During a series of meetings last summer, Mountain States Legal Foundation lawyer Steven Lechner cited decades of research contained in no less than three ethnographic reports, detailing the uses, sites, ceremonies, stories and language

that connect the Blackfeet to the Badger area. He then clearly described Longwell’s proposed project, which includes five miles of road, a new bridge wide enough to haul a drill rig over the Two Medicine River, and a well pad. Then he said that all this development could not possibly harm any of the spiritual values outlined in the ethnographic reports.

“Because he threatens one of the places that are most sacred to the Blackfeet people, the whole of Indian Country has come together in an effort to stop him.” Longwell, wearing a long-suffering expression, added: “We don’t even know where the rock is that’s supposed to be religious in order to avoid it.” His lawyer rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair in agreement. The Blackfeet are not giving in. In a meeting held last October in Browning, leaders and elders from all four bands of the Blackfoot Confederacy joined leaders from tribes across Montana and Wyoming to sign a proclamation formally demanding that the U.S government cancel all oil and gas leases in the Badger.

The event was well covered by the media, though no one could quite capture the feeling of pride and sense of honor that filled the room as tribal members introduced themselves and spoke about how pleased they were to be together, united in action over such an important cause. Since last fall, the effort has grown and attracted supporters, including Sen. Jon Tester, the National Congress of American Indians and the rock band Pearl Jam. A Change.org petition, asking Interior Secretary Sally Jewell and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to cancel the leases, has collected thousands of signatures. In April, Chief Earl Old Person, who has led the Blackfeet since 1954 and who has met with every U.S. president since Harry S. Truman, wrote to President Obama asking for help. “The Blackfeet Nation has been able to successfully contest the legitimacy of these leases and drilling proposals for over three decades,” wrote Old Person. “Many responsible oil companies have recognized the sanctity of these cultural headwaters, voluntarily changing their holdings for opportunities on federal lands elsewhere—yet a handful of these leases remain. At this time, I respectfully request that we work together to fully put an end to these remaining leases and stop all threats to our cultural-spiritual heritage.” Sidney Longwell may never understand the profound relationship between people and place that exists in the Badger-Two Medicine. Yet despite himself, he’s accomplished something important. Because he threatens one of the places that are most sacred to the Blackfeet people, the whole of Indian Country has come together in an effort to stop him. People are united, and that is a wonderful thing to see.

CURSES, FOILED AGAIN – British police recovered a stolen car in Middleton when the two suspects tried driving it into the police station parking garage. Surveillance footage shows the 25-year-old and 26year-old men thwarted by the security gate but unable to back up because two police vans were waiting behind them. Thinking the vans were pursuing them, the men fled on foot, Detective Inspector Lee Hopwood said, but officers tracked them down. (Britain’s Manchester Evening News) When a television news interview with accident witness Courtney Barnes went viral, as much for his hilarious account of events as for his green hair and green fingernails, the owner of a store in Ridgeland, Miss., recognized Barnes as a shoplifting suspect from surveillance video and notified police. (Jackson’s WLBT-TV)

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? – A public safety message intended to shock people was removed because it shocked people. The billboard, promoting bicycle safety in Bakersfield, Calif., depicted a bicycle and a victim chalk outline, with the words, “See and be seen. Don’t be roadkill.” Rhonda Hiller complained of the wording and its location, near where her son died in a traffic crash. “My son’s not roadkill,” she declared. Kern Council of Governments official Susanne Campbell said the “roadkill” message would be changed on billboards and bus ads. (Bakersfield’s KBAK-TV) After Carl McCoid, 42, got divorced in 2010, he covered his body with 29 Miley Cyrus tattoos. But after the performer told an American interviewer, “There’s a dude that holds a record of the most pictures of my face, he has like 18 pictures of my face and they’re really ugly,” the disappointed father of four in Bridlington, East Yorkshire, decided to have the tattoos removed by laser. “Right now, I have 29 tattoos done and have spent 2,800 pounds (US$4,300),” McCoid said. “I never thought I would regret it.” (Britain’s Daily Mail)

At a Fourth of July celebration in Calais, Maine, Devon Staples, 22, decided to launch fireworks off the top of his head. He died instantly. “There was no rushing him to the hospital,” said his brother Cody Staples, 25, who was standing a few feet away when Devon placed a reloadable mortar tube on his head and ignited the fireworks. “There was no Devon left when I got there.” (Associated Press)

MILKING THE SYSTEM – The federal Medicare Fraud Strike Force concluded a nationwide investigation into home health care fraud by charging 243 people, including 46 doctors and other medical professionals. Agents said various schemes netted a combined $712 million in billings for nonexistent treatments. One of the accused doctors, Noble U. Ezukanma, 56, submitted invoices claiming to have worked 205 hours in one day in 2012. Agents seized $344,900 from his Fort Worth, Texas, home. (The Dallas Morning News) Naica Gibson, 31, an unemployed mother of four in London, withheld 400 pounds (US$615) from her 1,300 pounds (US$2,000) monthly welfare check until she’d saved 4,000 pounds (US$6,150) to travel to Poland for breast rejuvenation surgery. During the two years she saved, she admitted taking some of the money from the food budget but declared she went hungry as often as her children. When she could afford the procedure, she said the plastic surgeon left one breast bigger than the other and both breasts covered by unsightly scars. She’s asking Britain’s National Health Service to pay 5,000 pounds (US$7,687) for corrective surgery. (Britain’s Daily Mail)

PUNCTUATION HEROICS – Andrea Cammelleri had her pickup truck ticketed and towed from in front of her home in West Jefferson, Ohio, because she parked it on the street for more than the allowed 24 hours. She protested after her boyfriend pointed out that the ordinance about parking time limits applies to “motor vehicle camper,” not a motor vehicle and a camper, because there’s no comma between them. An appeals judge agreed the ordinance should be read as it’s written and ordered the city to reimburse her for towing and legal fees. “I was told, ‘don’t fight city hall,’ I’d never win,” Cammelleri said. “I did.” (Columbus’s WTTE-TV) TOYLAND – Administrators at Encinal High School in Alameda, Calif., insisted that a teacher was only joking when he assigned students to, according to one of their mothers, Kimberly Cobene, “go into your parents’ private drawers or whatever to seek out sexual toys or condoms, or anything of that nature and to take a selfie with it.” But Cobene and fellow mom Evangeline Garcia took him seriously and promptly mounted a campaign to have the school district fire him. (San Francisco’s KPIX-TV) HOMELAND INSECURITY – White supremacists and anti-government radicals have killed more people in the United States since Sept. 11, 2001, than Muslim jihadists have, according to Washington research center New America. The score: 48 to 26. New America program associate David Sterman warned that white supremacy and anti-government idealism constitute an “ignored threat” because the government has focused its surveillance and data collection efforts instead on domestic Islamic extremists. (The Washington Times) Besides not recognizing 67 out of 70 test violations of airport security checkpoints during a recent exercise, the Transportation Security Administration failed to identify 73 airport workers potentially associated with terrorism. Former acting TSA administrator Melvin Carraway denied the Department of Homeland Security’s finding that the TSA missed potential threats, insisting, “The term ‘missed’ is inaccurate, in that it implies a fault with the TSA vetting system or manual review process, which is not the case.” (USA Today)

MOUNTAIN HIGH

erhaps one of the more exclusive groups in the country exists because of the Butte 100 mountain bike race. Already billed as the most difficult mountain bike race in the country, the annual event includes the “500 Mile Club,” composed of racers who have managed to pedal a cumulative 500 trail miles over the years across the rugged course. The 500 Mile Club is small because the Butte 100 began less than a decade ago as an informal 40-person local race that was as much a playdate in the mountains as it was a timed competition. In the 10 years since that first race, though, the Butte 100 has joined the ranks of the nation's most elite endurance mountain bike races, drawing hundreds of the world's most legendary racers to Butte every summer. Not bad, for what started as a little hometown trail competition.

What's so compelling about racing the Butte 100—or, what’s compelling for we laypeople who would rather travel 100 miles via car and watch it? Racers make a 16,600-foot elevation gain during their century ride along the Continental Divide, which opens onto breathtaking panoramic views along the second half of the race. They navigate packed dirt, gravel, decomposed granite, sand, a notorious Basin Creek Climb and a section locally dubbed “the 8 miles of hell,” all for the glory of crossing the finish line alive some 10-plus hours after they begin. With all that, what's not to love? —Bonnie Chan The Butte 100 kicks off on Sat., July 25, at 6 AM at the staging area near the I-90 Homestake exit in Butte. For more info, visit butte100.com.

Signs have been pointing to the Celtic Festival Missoula all week. Just yesterday I found myself entranced by Facebook video of a wedding reception for a former Riverdancer. It was one of those things you start scrolling past and the video begins to play automatically. The sound wasn't even on. Yet, here I was staring at my phone screen watching a large group of men and women bounce skillfully around the room. The bride was in the mix, too, destroying the dance floor in a mermaid-style wedding dress. Even today, I was sitting at my desk minding my own business when “At It Again” by Scottish singer/songwriter Andy M. Stewart played from a stereo in a room nearby: four minutes of fiddling, pipes and guitar strumming along with Stewart's Scottish brogue. Basically, it's the classic song to get you in the mood to immerse yourself in all things Celtic. Coming from an Irish background, I've been to a Celtic festival or two, and I can’t emphasize enough how much fun theses parties are with their serious Celtic pride and tons of tunes to Riverdance to. There's food. There are drinks. And you bet your bottom dollar there are kilts. Even if you're not of Celtic descent, this culture knows how to have a good time. Despite the nonstop party that will take over Caras Park this weekend, Missoula’s Celtic Festival is

After covering expenses, funds go to charity, including the Friends of Irish Studies Program, which supports the University of Montana's Irish Studies program. This program, which is one of the few in the United States, helps keep the Celtic culture alive and continues to educate the world outside of this two-day festival. Red hair and freckles are not required, unless you're participating in the Kid Zone's red hair and freckles contests—then they are required. —Mary Bradley The Celtic Festival Missoula kicks off at Caras Park Fri., July 24, at 5:30 PM.

ADVICE GODDESS By Amy Alkon

EMOTION SICKNESS Last week, my girlfriend was all annoyed about something (something relatively unimportant). I'm normally not a bad listener, but I was getting stressed out just hearing about this. I blurted out, “Calm down!” and she really flipped, yelling, “DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!” It took me forever (and lots of “I'm sorrrreeee”s) to get her to mellow out. I mentioned this incident to a friend, and he said, “Man, don't you know? You never say that to a woman!” Please explain. —Mr. Doghouse There are times you may want to tell a woman to calm down, like when you lack live electrical wire to chew on or are curious as to how the nurses would react if you walked into the ER with your head under your arm. Many people believe the myth that the typical man is about as emotionally sensitive as the typical hammer. However, neuroscientist Tor Wager looked at the findings from 65 brain imaging studies and found that—overall—men's brains weren't any less responsive to emotional stimuli than women's. However, Wager's study and others did find sex differences, like that women seem more likely to experience negative emotions—fear, anxiety, and depression. Women also seem to be more emotionally expressive—verbally and in writing—and better at processing emotions, so they're less likely to end up feeling dragged out back and beaten up by them. But for men, when women get emotional, and especially when they veer off into rantville, emotion processing can play out something like this. Woman: “Knockknock.” Man: “Who's there?” Woman (upset): “Feelings!” (Silence. More silence.) Woman: “Hello? Hello?! I know you're in there! I can hear the TV!” To a man, an irate woman's sharing of her emotional drama can be a bit like her sharing her Drano-tini. Relationships researcher John Gottman explains that men can become physiologically overwhelmed from stressful conversation alone, getting “flooded” with stress hormones and feeling physically ill and desperate to withdraw. This happens through a “misattribution of arousal,” which means that your brain subconsciously (and instantaneously) puts mere talk that has a stressful vibe into the wrong bin—the “fight or flight” bin that alerts you, “Run from that tiger!” In response, adrenaline surges, your heart races, sweat beads up, and parts of your brain and body that aren't vital for bolting the hell out of

EMPLOYMENT GENERAL

there shut down. Yes, that's a “Sorry, we're closed!” sign on your digestive tract, and— oopsy!—there's another on your brain's higher reasoning center (which makes sense, considering you're supposed to be dashing away from the tiger, not parsing whether you have ill-will toward its motherin-law). The thing is, running away—as your body has primed you to do—would metabolize the stress hormones. But when you just sit there, the stress hormones just sit there, pooling, poisoning you, leading to sickening feelings. The natural impulse is to take shelter from the adrenaline storm—to escape and go off and recover—but this is hard to explain in any articulate and emotionally sensitive way in the moment, as your ability to reason is on sabbatical. So, in lieu of ducking under the nearest couch like the cat, you do it verbally, telling her, “Calm down!” Of course, the problem here wasn't that she needed to calm down, but that you did. So when you laid that on her, she probably heard, “I'm not just going to ignore your feelings; I'm going to dismiss them.” (This always goes over so well with women.) Explaining the sex differences in emotion processing might help you both keep in mind that a man isn't just a woman with a different set of funparts. For example, for her, venting her feelings may simply be a way of managing them. Chances are, she just needs you to be listening (or at least appear to be while playing “Minecraft” in your head). The next time she's “all het up” about something, take some deep breaths and remind yourself that you aren't under attack; you're just somebody's boyfriend. Should you start feeling emotionally swamped, take Gottman's advice: “Let your (partner) know that you're feeling flooded and need to take a break. The break should last at least 20 minutes, since it will be that long before your body calms down.” Going for a run wouldn't be a bad idea. However, in the spirit of better male/female communication, you need to tell your girlfriend your plan. No, you can't just flash her a look of panic and bolt out the door— though being chased down the street by an enraged woman clutching your renaissance faire crossbow should do wonders in diminishing that nasty adrenaline buildup.

Got a problem? Write Amy Alkon, 171 Pier Ave, #280, Santa Monica, CA 90405, or e-mail AdviceAmy@aol.com.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Charles Darwin is best known for his book The Origin of Species, which contains his seminal ideas about evolutionary biology. But while he was still alive, his best-seller was The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms. The painstaking result of over forty years' worth of research, it is a tribute to the noble earthworm and that creature's crucial role in the health of soil and plants. It provides a different angle on one of Darwin's central concerns: how small, incremental transformations that take place over extended periods of time can have monumental effects. This also happens to be one of your key themes in the coming months.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The ancient Greek philosopher Thales is credited as being one of the earliest mathematicians and scientists. He was a deep thinker whose thirst for knowledge was hard to quench. Funny story: Once he went out at night for a walk. Gazing intently up at the sky, he contemplated the mysteries of the stars. Oops! He didn't watch where he was going, and fell down into a well. He was OK, but embarrassed. Let's make him your anti-role model, Gemini. I would love to encourage you to unleash your lust to be informed, educated, and inspired—but only if you watch where you're going.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When I talk about “The Greatest Story Never Told,” I'm not referring to the documentary film about singer Lana Del Rey or the debut album of the rap artist Saigon or any other cultural artifact. I am, instead, referring to a part of your past that you have never owned and understood . . . a phase from the old days that you have partially suppressed . . . an intense set of memories you have not fully integrated. I say it's time for you to deal with this shadow. You're finally ready to acknowledge it and treasure it as a crucial thread in the drama of your hero's journey.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Latin motto “Carpe diem” shouldn't be translated as “Seize the day!”, says author Nicholson Baker. It's not a battle cry exhorting you to “freaking grab the day in your fist like a burger at a fairground and take a big chomping bite out of it.” The proper translation, according to Baker, is “Pluck the day.” In other words, “you should gently pull on the day’s stem, as if it were a wildflower, holding it with all the practiced care of your thumb and the side of your finger, which knows how to not crush easily crushed things—so that the day's stem undergoes increasing tension and draws to a tightness, and then snaps softly away at its weakest point, and the flower is released in your hand.” Keep that in mind, Aries. I understand you are often tempted to seize rather than pluck, but these days plucking is the preferable approach.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A researcher at the University of Amsterdam developed software to read the emotions on faces. He used it to analyze the expression of the woman in Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, the Mona Lisa. The results suggest that she is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. Whether or not this assessment is accurate, I appreciate its implication that we humans are rarely filled with a single pure emotion. We often feel a variety of states simultaneously. In this spirit, I have calculated your probably mix for the coming days: 16 percent relieved, 18 percent innocent, 12 percent confused, 22 percent liberated, 23 percent ambitious, and 9 percent impatient. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “What makes you heroic?” asked philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Here's how he answered himself: “simultaneously going out to meet your highest suffering and your highest hope.” This is an excellent way to sum up the test that would inspire you most in the coming weeks, Virgo. Are you up for the challenge? If so, grapple with your deepest pain. Make a fierce effort to both heal it and be motivated by it. At the same time, identify your brightest hope and take a decisive step toward fulfilling it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Actress and musician Carrie Brownstein was born with five planets in Libra. Those who aren't conversant with astrology's mysteries may conclude that she is a connoisseur of elegance and harmony. Even professional stargazers who know how tricky it is to make generalizations might speculate that she is skilled at cultivating balance, attuned to the needs of others, excited by beauty, and adaptive to life's ceaseless change. So what are we to make of the fact that Brownstein has said, “I really don't know what to do when my life is not chaotic”? Here's what I suspect: In her ongoing exertions to thrive on chaos, she is learning how to be a connoisseur of elegance and harmony as she masters the intricacies of being balanced, sensitive to others, thrilled by beauty, and adaptive to change. This is important for you to hear about right now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You're entering a volatile phase of your cycle. In the coming weeks, you could become a beguiling monster who leaves a confusing mess in your wake. On the other hand, you could activate the full potential of your animal intelligence as you make everything you touch more interesting and soulful. I am, of course, rooting for the latter outcome. Here's a secret about how to ensure it: Be as ambitious to gain power over your own darkness as you are to gain power over what happens on your turf.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I'm a big fan of the attitude summed up by the command “Be here now!” The world would be more like a sanctuary and less like a battleground if people focused more on the present moment rather than on memories of the past and fantasies of the future. But in accordance with the astrological omens, you are hereby granted a temporary exemption from the “Be here how!” approach. You have a poetic license to dream and scheme profusely about what you want your life to be like in the future. Your word of power is tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A philanthropist offered $100,000 to the Girls Scouts chapter of Western Washington. But there were strings attached. The donor specified that the money couldn't be used to support transgender girls. The Girl Scouts rejected the gift, declaring their intention to empower every girl “regardless of her gender identity, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.” Do you have that much spunk, Capricorn? Would you turn down aid that would infringe on your integrity? You may be tested soon. Here's what I suspect: If you are faithful to your deepest values, even if that has a cost, you will ultimately attract an equal blessing that doesn't require you to sell out. (P.S. The Girls Scouts subsequently launched an Indiegogo campaign that raised more than $300,000.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Consider the possibility of opening your mind, at least briefly, to provocative influences you have closed yourself off from. You may need to refamiliarize yourself with potential resources you have been resisting or ignoring, even if they are problematic. I'm not saying you should blithely welcome them in. There still may be good reasons to keep your distance. But I think it would be wise and healthy for you to update your relationship with them. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Over 10,000 species of mushrooms grow in North America. About 125 of those, or 1.25 percent, are tasty and safe to eat. All the others are unappetizing or poisonous, or else their edibility is in question. By my reckoning, a similar statistical breakdown should apply to the influences that are floating your way. I advise you to focus intently on those very few that you know for a fact are pleasurable and vitalizing. Make yourself unavailable for the rest.

These pets may be adopted at Missoula Animal Control 541-7387 LENA•

Lena is a 6-year-old female Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix. Lena loves people, but really does not enjoy dogs or cats. She would need to be the only pet, but would love to have a few older kids to play with. She is a lover, and despite her age, has short bursts of being very playful. She's really looking for a forever home where she can retire and never have to leave.

ZAITH•Zaith is a 5-year-male old Mastiff mix. He would make the perfect companion for an adult home. Zaith is a big cuddler who loves to smile. Zaith's favorite game is to steal toys and hide them in his kennel. He is well-mannered, great on leash, and kennels well. Zaith would do best in an adult-only household, and would become protective of his family once a bond is established.

He is a rather playful boy but will react if he feels threatened by another dom- 2330 South Reserve Street, Missoula, Montana, 59801 inant dog. In the shelter, he is a ball of energy. Lobby: 9:00am-5:00pm (Mon-Fri) • Drive-thru: 7:30am-6:00pm (Mon-Fri) Once you get him out on a walk, Bradford has great manners and a happy, silly disposition.

CHASE•Chase is a 4-year-old male black tuxedo cat. He is a very smart and agile cat. Chase loves to get into cupboards and food bins, play with string toys, and roll in catnip.

ASTRID•Astrid is a 4-year-old female tortie/calico cat. She's hoping for a family that can accept her spunky personality. Astrid is an independent creature and would prefer a home with no small children. She also needs to be the only pet as she doesn't like other cats or dogs. Astrid doesn't particularly enjoy confinement and would love to find a home in the country that gives her free reign to go in and out of the house as she pleases. AVERY• Avery is a 2-year-old female longhaired white and orange tabby cat. She is a very sweet and shy girl. Avery acts rather skittish at the shelter, but when you pick her up, she melts into your arms. We're not sure how much socialization Avery has had thus far in life, and she does not understand how to play. She has learned that laps are wonderful and loving arms to carry her are the best.
