Flaming idiocy

STREET TALK Asked on Mon., Sept. 24, near Main Hall on the UM Campus.

by Chad Harder

This week we report on a change in ownership at the Top Hat. What’s your most memorable musical experience at the venerable Front Street spot?

Follow-up: Missoula’s seen some good performances over the years—what show do you most regret missing?

Leah Joki: The Young Dubliners, a couple of years ago. I just love their music. I went with a dude who doesn’t like to dance, but I got him to get up and jump around. No satisfaction: I had a bad attitude about seeing guys in their 60s play rock and roll in Spandex, so I avoided the Rolling Stones concert. But now I've seen Martin Scorsese’s film Shine a Light and I know I made a mistake. That concert would have been awesome.

Cara Chaet: That has to be Lotus, just last year. The place was completely packed. The sound was incredible, and the energy was awesome, everybody was just super stoked to be there and dancing. ¡Arriba! Probably Mexicans with Guns, the first time they came. They have such a unique sound, and I caught them their last time through Missoula. But I’ve heard their first show was even more fun.

Patty Woodcock: Well, back in the mid’80s we used to go there all the time. Every Friday and Saturday night we’d go down there and party. I can’t say that a particular show stands out from the others, so maybe we had a few too many. Sympathy for the absent: The Rolling Stones. I really wanted to see them. I was out of town, but I should have just made it happen.

Jim Thumm: It’s probably been 10 years ago or so but I saw a really incredible rock and roll band at the Top Hat. I wish I could remember their name, but its been a while.

Rock of ages: This was a long time ago, too, but this time I do remember the name: Bob Dylan. That would have been, oh, about ’99. I was really looking forward to it and had tickets but was out of town, had airline trouble and didn’t get back in time.

Stephanie Mansfield: I play bass for the band Darshan Pulse and we’ve loved playing the Top Hat. The crowd is responsive and fun, and the sound guy was just awesome. We got in a little trouble because we were too loud, but that’s a pretty common complaint with us. Not those Stones: The Stone Foxes played at the Top Hat last week and I heard they were amazing technically, and that they trade instruments while they play. I wish I could've have been there!

That opinion piece by Charles Finn (see “Why not take chances?” Sept. 13)...

Does the Indy just fill its pages with anything? My lord, I hope this writer gets ate. [sic] Let’s go back 3,000 years when we had nothing to defend ourselves with.

This is the most fucked up thing I have ever read. It is almost as stupid as having roadless areas so we cannot get to forest fires quickly and easily. Two months of smoke thanks to you liberal sacks! Remember the fires of 1910? Pay no attention to past and you’re doomed to repeat it. Those burnt forests could have provided thousands of jobs.

Shop at Vann’s The news that Vann’s is closing its doors comes as an unwelcome shock to anyone who has shopped in these fine, employee-owned Montana stores. With restructuring under Chapter 11 not going well, the company has asked the court to convert the bankruptcy to a liquidation, and given employees a 60-day layoff notice.

My family and I have had the pleasure of using Vann’s for more than 15 years and have always found the products excellent, the service superb, and the staff friendly, helpful, and amazingly knowledgeable.

So, for those in northwest Montana who mourn the loss of local business and industry employing local folks, I have a few suggestions.

If you’ve been thinking of buying a washer, dryer, camera, TV, DVD or refrigerator, do it now, and do it at Vann’s rather than some big box store selling Chinese junk.

If you’re just finishing that new home you’ve always dreamed of and are starting to think about where to get the appliances you’ll need, how about shopping at Vann’s. You get top notch appliances, some of the best, most honest service anywhere, and you can help your neighbors keep their jobs for Christmas.

If you’re a developer just finishing a subdivision in the Flathead, Missions or Missoula area, and someone who treasures the privilege of living and working in such a magnificent place, how about giving something back by outfitting those homes at Montana-owned, employeeowned Vann’s.

Put your money where your heart is— buy locally, buy from Vann’s and buy now.

Arch Coal, anti-union Union leadership in Montana abandon hard-won principals when they support jobs at any cost. Unions have lost membership and influence by rejecting the ideals which were the foundation of their strength. Why should people work

jobs which undermine their health and the country?

Such is the current case with the Montana union leadership calling for Arch Coal to strip mine Otter Creek. Arch Coal is a notoriously anti-union corporation.

They are responsible for harming the lives and welfare of thousands in Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. Not to mention the countryside which they have turned upside down with mountain top removal.

Arch Coal will come to Montana with their own work force to strip mine low

Republican senators blocked the Veterans Jobs Corps Act, a bipartisan bill that even the Republicans who helped write the bill rejected. This bill was paid for!

And now 200,000 brave men and woman won’t be getting a job, and we’ll have more homeless vets on the street. If Rep. Denny Rehberg had been in the Senate, he would have voted no, too. After all, he voted to cut $13 billion from veterans’ health care. Yet he voted for the wars.

And there’s the farm bill. Republicans left before finishing it, to go home to campaign for their reelection. They don’t care about the hardships of the farmer. What do House Republicans want out of the farm bill? To cut $16 billion from food stamps, the largest cut in a generation.

That’s part of Paul Ryan’s budget plan!

Who gets food stamps? Poor seniors. Unemployed people. The working poor. Single, working mothers. The disabled.

Veterans without jobs.

The Tea Party Republicans in Congress want to cut the budget in order to give tax cuts for the one percent, and the rich who fund their campaigns.

Denny Rehberg, John Boehner, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan are rich! They don’t care about the poor! Don’t care about our veterans or our farmers.

Sens. Jon Tester and Max Baucus both voted “yes” for your vets.

Vote smart.

grade coal for China. There will be few jobs for Montanans. And, those jobs will be poorly paid, without benefits, dangerous and health threatening. Yet, our governor, our land board and our union leadership welcome Arch to Montana.

Powerful and wealthy corporations like Arch should be making jobs that are safe, that benefit people and the countryside. Of course they could. But our politicians and our union leadership, cowed by corporate power and money, support jobs at any cost and lose their moral compass.

Gene Bernofsky Missoula

Vote for vets Why is Congress the “worst ever” with only a 10 percent approval rating?

Because for the last two years they’ve been only working to make President Obama a one-term president.

So what have Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate not done?

If Steve Bullock wins the race for governor, it won’t be long until we will wish we had Brian Schweitzer back in the governor’s chair. At least with Brian, you knew every policy revolved around his own self interests regardless of party philosophy.

But Bullock is a liberal’s liberal. He has always supported bigger government since that’s the only job he has ever known. Bullock votes in lock step with job killing radical environmentalists and that means no support for oil, gas, coal, and all the tax revenues they bring to our state. He fully supports the government take over of our health care.

My vote will go to Rick Hill, an experienced small businessman and fiscal conservative. He has the ideas we need to get government out of the way so small businesses and entrepreneurs can take our great state in the right direction.

If you want bigger government, higher taxes, more regulations, and increased unemployment, Steve Bullock is your man. If you want smaller, more efficient government, lower taxes, less burdensome regulations, and more good paying jobs, the only choice in this race is Rick Hill.

WEEK IN REVIEW

VIEWFINDER

by Chad Harder

Wednesday, September 19 Mountain Water Co. officials unveil a new $10,000 water fountain near the fish sculpture east of Caras Park in downtown Missoula, part of the company’s “Hit the Tap” initiative to encourage drinking more water and using fewer plastic bottles.

Thursday, September 20 Gov. Brian Schweitzer proposes a tuition freeze for state colleges and universities, saying, “If we want to be competitive in a global economy and create higher paying jobs, we need to make sure Montana students have access to an affordable worldclass education.”

Friday, September 21 Todd Patrick Jordan, 35, whom police accuse of spray-painting a Montana Grizzlies logo-like bear paw and the words “Rape Nation” on the Northside pedestrian bridge, pleads not guilty to criminal mischief and conspiracy.

Saturday, September 22 The Grizzlies’ streak of 19 consecutive Homecoming wins ends with a 41–31 loss to Northern Arizona. Lumberjacks running back Zach Bauman racks up 253 yards and three touchdowns, while the NAU defense forces five turnovers.

Sunday, September 23 Senior defender Lauren Costa heads home a corner kick by junior midfielder Mary Makris, notching the only goal in the UM women’s soccer team’s 1–0 win over Weber State at the South Campus Stadium in Missoula.

Monday, September 24 The Missoula City Council votes 10–1 to create a new funding mechanism that will enable property owners to split the costs of sidewalk construction with the city. Ward 2’s Adam Hertz casts the lone “no” vote.

Tuesday, September 25 Shannon Houser, 36, is arrested for beating and kicking his girlfriend at the camp they shared under the Reserve Street Bridge. The Missoulian reports that Houser weighs 170 pounds. The alleged victim weighs roughly 100 pounds.

The University of Montana's 2012 Homecoming Parade rolls down South Higgins Avenue on the morning of Sat., Sept. 22. Thousands of observers lined the route from downtown to the university to watch more than 140 participants. Despite a string of 19 consecutive Homecoming wins, UM's football team lost to Northern Arizona 41–31 later that day.

Business

Vann’s triple bogey Last week, Vann’s, the Missoula-based electronics and appliance retailer of 50 years that filed for bankruptcy protection in August, announced that the company can’t be saved. Vann’s will close its five remaining stores around the state, lay off some 150 employees and liquidate its $17.6 million in assets in order to pay off its creditors.

One of those assets, bankruptcy documents show, is a home site at the Rock Creek Cattle Company, a 30,000-acre luxury vacation community with a Tom Doak-designed golf course northwest of Deer Lodge.

How is high-end real estate relevant to selling stereos and washers and dryers?

“Well, honestly, it isn’t,” says Jerry McConnell, a professional business restructuring consultant who took over as Vann’s CEO in June. “It was a stupid move on the part of management that went out there and built a house and bought two lots. It’s about a half a dozen of those kinds of decisions that really,

[6] Missoula Independent • September 27 – October 4, 2012

combined with a bad economy, got us into the hole that we’re in right now.”

McConnell says the Rock Creek Cattle Company property, assigned a value of $275,000 in Vann’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, was used for the occasional Vann’s board meeting. He says no one lived in it. George Manlove and Paul Nisbet, the company’s former CEO and CFO, respectively, used to be (if they aren’t still) Rock Creek Cattle Company members, according to a club blog post written in March 2010.

McConnell says the two properties (one of which Vann’s has apparently since sold) were part of Vann’s Homes, LLC, one of Manlove’s imprudent side ventures. “He had the idea that he was going to form a homebuilding company that would build exclusive homes with very, very expensive kitchens in them,” McConnell says.

It didn’t work. Nor did BigSkyCountry.com, an online outdoor clothing retailer Vann’s launched in March 2011, and The ON Store, a pseudo Apple Store that opened in Missoula’s Southgate Mall in late 2010.

McConnell says both are “still hemorrhaging a lot of red ink.” McConnell adds BigSkyCountry.com could

be sold this week.

Manlove couldn’t be reached for comment.

McConnell says the Rock Creek Cattle Company lot will be “one of the things the creditors will be fighting over here before long.”

Death penalty

Old debate, new angle Rep. Christy Clark, a Republican from Choteau, has noted a shift in the chatter among conservatives about Montana’s death penalty. Moral implications have long dominated the debate about abolishing the law. Now, it seems, state legislators are moving to the middle ground.

“The conservatives that I work with, our mission has changed in that we view this as a fiscal issue, not a moral issue,” Clark says. With that consideration, she adds, abolition of the death penalty “makes sense.”

The shift has come largely as a result of the Montana Abolition Coalition’s effort to more aggressively

[news] put fiscal data on capital punishment in front of conservative politicians. The coalition, a 16-year-old collection of faith-based and human rights organizations, cites studies indicating that the death penalty can cost as much as 10 times more than a life sentence without possibility of parole. And lawmakers have more to consider; two weeks ago, Montana District Court Judge Jeffrey Sherlock ruled the state’s lethal injection procedure is unconstitutional.

“It’s just a big, strong spotlight on how ineffective and inefficient it is,” says Steve Dogiakos, a member of both the Abolition Coalition and Montana Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty.

“The recent ruling...really shows that it’s an imperfect situation, it’s a broken institution of government.”

Clark is now one of several legislators primed to take the issue forward in the 2013 session. The fiscal argument is attracting more conservatives, Dogiakos says, bolstering the religious-based pro-life support for abolition already espoused by lawmakers like Republican Sen. Roy Brown of Billings. That, combined with long-standing Democratic opposition to capital punishment, “will make abolition happen.”

Clark is eager to see the law change, and thinks the bipartisan ground reached on the issue should alleviate the exasperation felt by many lawmakers during the much-panned 2011 session. But Clark has her reservations as well. When compared to jobs and the economy, the death penalty debate isn’t a high priority among the Republican legislators she’s talked to. Clark’s not even sure this is the right year to take on such an emotionally charged issue.

“Sherry Arnold was murdered in Sydney, and just a month ago in my own district, we had a homicide,” Clark says. “When egregious crimes are committed, people have a tendency to want to hold on to the death penalty.”

Dirty Dash

Mud run gets muddier Participants at last year’s Mad Mudder fun run had one primary request for Court-Appointed Special Advocates of Missoula, the event’s nonprofit sponsor: They wanted more mud.

CASA drew 600 people to the 2011 fundraiser, and netted $13,000 in beer sales and registration fees.

But the group hit the maximum capacity for the Marshall Mountain course. According to CASA Executive Director Tara Jensen, forging ahead alone would have hit CASA with considerable overhead, including a fulltime position to manage the event.

“It was a significant time commitment and a big lift for a small organization,” Jensen says. “The Dirty Dash had been in Billings and was looking to expand, so they called us up.”

The Dirty Dash, a for-profit group that hosts mud runs throughout the West benefitting local nonprofits, approached CASA with a proposal. The group offered to shoulder event management in exchange for a cut of the proceeds. The obstacles would be bigger, the mud pits muddier, and CASA staff and volunteers would be free to focus on their work representing neglected children in Missoula courts. The transition also paved the way for a venue change to the Missoula Equestrian Park.

“CASA’s goal in partnering with the Dirty Dash is to do better than CASA could do on their own,” says former Mad Mudder marketing director Amy Coseo, now marketing director for the Missoula Dirty Dash.

The re-dubbed Dirty Dash drew 3,500 participants. CASA originally reported proceeds around $15,000, but Jensen now says the number is closer to $17,000—roughly 10 percent of the nonprofit's annual operating budget.

Now CASA and the Dirty Dash are looking ahead to 2013. Jensen says there are a number of tweaks and changes to be made, scheduling conflicts chief among them. The Dirty Dash, held Sept. 15, coincided with a University of Montana football game. But the one change CASA likely won’t need is more mud.

The Dirty Dash partnership took care of that.

“I knew the mud pits were going to be big, but I didn’t realize,” Coseo says. “It was way bigger than I even imagined.”

Counties across Montana on drought alert as of mid-September, according to the State Department of Natural Resources and Conservation. Six additional counties in southeastern Montana are suffering severe drought conditions. kayaking on New Hampshire’s swollen Pemigewasset River. He was 29 years old.

Panebaker’s former classmate, Mike Greener, takes some comfort in knowing that Panebaker died doing what he loved most. “When I learned about his death, I was sad,” says Greener, who’s now a Bozeman Daily Chronicle photographer. “At the same time, I’m glad it ended the way it did.”

Panebaker discussed the dangers of his passion in a blog post last year when commemorating the loss of another boater who died in the water. “There are no easy answers to the nagging questions surrounding mortality and the dangerous sport we do,” Panebaker wrote. “Paddling difficult whitewater is about being alive. It is the most pure and true experience that I have ever known, and it has brought me more joy, pain and satisfaction than anything else.”

Panebaker was kayaking with two friends in a steep gorge when his boat got wedged between two rocks, VTDigger.org reports. “When he tried to right the kayak, it flipped over…His body was submerged for an hour before it surfaced.”

Panebaker covered state politics as a reporter for VTDigger.org. His editor, Anne Galloway, wrote his obituary. It took longer than it should have, she says.

“I was pretty upset.”

Panebaker earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from UM in 2005. He graduated from Vermont Law School last year. In July, the nonprofit conservation group American Whitewater hired him to be the organization’s stewardship director in the northeast.

Galloway says the new job enabled Panebaker to professionally pursue the things that he most cared about: whitewater, law and conservation. “It was in fulfillment of that dream,” she says.

While at VTDigger, Galloway says Panebaker had a knack for quickly digesting complicated issues and making them easily understandable.

As news of his death spread, elected officials in Vermont, including Gov. Peter Shumlin, expressed their condolences. “Alan always had a smile for his fellow journalists and the politicians he covered,” Shumlin said. “He will be missed.”

ETC. If you’ve surfed around Facebook recently, you may have spotted an ad picturing Jordan Johnson, the former Grizzlies quarterback who’s been accused of rape. If you clicked that ad, you found yourself on the website of an organization called Stop Abusive and Violent Environments, or SAVE. The organization, based in Rockville, Md., recently sent a letter to UM President Royce Engstrom requesting, among other things, that the school stop requiring students to watch videos intended to help curtail sexual violence. SAVE contends the videos promote false statistics and inflammatory claims, undermining the presumption of innocence and trivializing rape.

Johnson has become one of SAVE’s poster boys as the three-year-old organization fights what it perceives to be a trend of false allegations of sexual assault on college campuses, especially false allegations against athletes.

Johnson’s story was used, for example, in a recent SAVE fundraising appeal: “If you contribute $100 or more, we will send you a False Allegation T-shirt.” The group is also launching a month-long campaign, including more Facebook ads, “designed to expose the ideological agenda” behind the U.S. Department of Education’s 2011 sexual assault directive, which set guidelines for how colleges should respond to allegations of sexual assault. SAVE believes that policy ignores fundamental civil rights.

“Victims are ill-served by false allegations,” says SAVE President Everett Bartlett, “and so we need to go back to long-regarded tenets of criminal law, and those tenets include innocent until proven guilty...and due process protections.” He adds: “Think of the next real victim who comes along at that university. Do you think she’s going to feel more likely or less likely to report the crime knowing that there’s a growing level of skepticism?”

Bartlett says the group has “not looked at the specifics” of the Johnson case, though he’s quick to list reasons why Johnson might be innocent, including the defense’s claim that the alleged victim told Johnson on the night of the incident, “Jordy, I would do you anytime.”

And there’s this: Bartlett admits SAVE is partly funded by those accused of sexual assault, though he insists the group has had no contact with Johnson or his attorneys, and that Johnson's family hasn’t donated money. Which is surprising, because who wouldn’t want a “False Allegation” T-shirt?

Don’t read this Banned Book Week highlights history of challenges

“It was in no way a pornographic book,” says Freivalds. “It was a health book. We teach health and aspects of sexuality in our curriculum. We have several books on reproductive health for young women, like Our Bodies, Ourselves. It’s much harder to find something comparable for young men.”

After the principal and superintendent voted to keep the book, the parent who made the challenge appealed to the school board. The board agreed the book’s educational merit was worth keeping it on the shelves.

Burning questions Frenchtown Fire District board faces mounting challenges

by Jessica Mayrer

Tammy Zunski isn’t a gadfly–or at least she wasn’t one until about two years ago, when she launched a crusade against the Frenchtown Rural Fire District Board of Trustees.

“They’re destroying the district,” says the 40-year-old Zunski, who, with her husband John, owns Sportsman’s Bar in Alberton. “They’re destroying the fire department.”

The Frenchtown Rural Fire District consists of 125 square miles and roughly 12,000 residents in Missoula and Mineral counties.

Many of the district’s homes are isolated, miles from services and off unpaved roads.

Zunski volunteered for the district as an emergency medical technician in 2007 and 2008. She’s also a friend to Jenny Ross. In July, Ross received $325,000 in an out-ofcourt settlement resulting from a lawsuit that alleged the former Frenchtown Fire Chief, John Bibler, intimidated and sexually harassed her. The suit alleged that the board of trustees, charged to supervise Bibler, was negligent in its oversight responsibilities.

Under the terms of the settlement, Ross isn’t allowed to speak publicly about her experiences. Zunski, however, is committed to holding the board accountable. She’s filed two lawsuits against the trustees. They allege the board violated open meeting laws and kept financial information sequestered from the public.

Under state law, elected officials are allowed to meet in private, in what’s called an executive session, to discuss private personnel matters and pending litigation. But Zunski says the board routinely takes care of business outside of the public eye.

For instance, Zunski caught the board talking about toolboxes behind closed doors in February 2011, after a public meeting and an executive session had adjourned.

She tracked the board down, rapped on the closed door and recorded their responses on her cellphone's video camera. She posted the footage on YouTube. “I said, ‘Oops.’ And they said, ‘Yep, you got us,'” Zunski says. “It doesn’t get anymore black and white.”

The Frenchtown Rural Fire District, as with other such entities across the state, operates autonomously. Zunski says she’s become the board’s watchdog because it seems no one else is willing to do the job.

“The only resort for a citizen who views an open-meeting violation, and I’m guessing 99.9 percent of the citizens don’t know this, is you have to file a lawsuit within 30 days,” Zunski says. “So not only is there a crazy time constraint but it’s a huge fiscal obligation to a citizen to complain.”

It’s been a rocky four years for the Frenchtown Rural Fire District as it deals with four ongoing lawsuits and four out-of-court legal settlements.

Zunski isn't the only one alleging board mismanagement. In January, former district employee Cindy Wyatt said trustees shirked their obligation to supervise Bibler. According to the lawsuit, Bibler used a pseudonym to post Wyatt’s confidential personnel information on Facebook.

In March, former Fire District employee Frank Stanley, who continues to volunteer for the department, filed a lawsuit that alleges trustees violated open meeting laws when they fired him during a closed-door session.

Since 2009, trustees have resolved three other grievances out of court. Those include settlements with former Fire Chief Scott Waldron, Bruce Winter, a volunteer, and the district’s former operations chief, Steven Roy. According to public records, the district accrued no legal bills in 2008. This year, it paid $54,000. Financial statements show the fire department’s insurance premiums doubled to $33,821 between 2008 and 2012.

As legal bills mount, revenue is drying up. Between 2008 and 2012, the district’s general fund balance shrunk by 13 percent, amounting to $1.3 million this year.

To what extent the budget crunch— along with the litigation—is impacting operations is debatable. Four months into his new job as Frenchtown Fire Chief, Joe Calnan acknowledges money is tight.

“There’s no question that the financial side, that’s not helping,” he says.

To help bolster the department’s finances, trustees this month increased the district’s mill levy by 7.9 percent. That

equates to about $9.98 more a year on the tax bill for a property valued at $200,000.

Calnan aims to use the approximately $45,000 generated by the mill levy to maintain the district’s fire trucks and ambulances. He’s also in the process of compiling data to evaluate emergency response times.

In the meantime, the chief says he’s making do with what he has. “I’m doing my best.”

Montana statute authorizes the county attorney’s office to provide legal assistance to rural fire districts. Deputy Missoula County Attorney James McCubbin is representing the Frenchtown board. He says trustees are striving to make improvements and notes they recently attended a training session on public meetings laws.

McCubbin says it’s not unusual for volunteer boards to face a learning curve. “It’s always hard with volunteer boards getting everybody to understand what the laws are,” he says. “I think they’re complying with the law currently.”

Zunski isn’t persuaded. She says the only way for the district to heal from its rocky past is to get rid of the entire current board.

“You cannot heal from a wound if the infection has still got something in it, and the common denominator in this wound is the board,” she says. “So, until this board is removed and some accountability and oversight is put in place, that’s the only time trust can begin again and we can start building.” jmayrer@missoulanews.com

I am 88 and have seen a lot of change over the decades, but I do not think anyone living now has ever faced a more serious threat to life than the threat of global climate change. As President Barack Obama said recently, “More droughts and floods and wildfires are not a joke. They’re a threat to our children’s future.”

I come from a far different time. Born in a coal-mining town, I was raised on a ranch five miles out of Lander, Wyo., just two miles from where my mother was born, in 1901. I went to one-room schools and graduated from Lander High School at 18, just in time to become gun fodder for World War II. My crew of 10 young men flew a B-24 bomber from New York City to South America, then across the Atlantic to Africa’s Sahara Desert and a temporary training camp in Tunisia. At last we crossed the Mediterranean to our tent camp among olive trees near Foggia, Italy. Five of those young men with me never returned home alive. Just two of us are still living.

My 32nd mission finally ended my Air Force career. Five miles above Vienna, Austria, on May 10, 1944, a German’s flak burst pulverized the right side of my face and destroyed my right eye. There was a long recovery, and for my actions that day, I was awarded the Silver Star, the nation's third highest combat military decoration. Yet when I left the military at 20, I was still not old enough to vote or even buy a drink. I went on to college, got involved in wildlife and environmental work, and never wavered in my love of Wyoming, the West and the very planet itself.

So now, while I still have a voice to speak, I want to communicate a warning: I believe we are at a crossroads that puts our civilization at risk. If we do nothing to stop carbon dioxide from going into the atmos-

phere, the Earth will face a future similar to that of Mars, becoming barren and lifeless.

When World War II was thrust on us, we turned our economic system into a war machine as every American agreed to sacrifice

“We have to face this crisis as if we were at war, because, unfortunately, that is the bitter truth. We are in a fight for our very survival.” in order to defeat Nazi Germany and its allies. That is the model for what it will take to overcome what now threatens our planet.

Hitler and Tojo and Mussolini, however, were human beings with faces, while carbon dioxide is invisible and yet a part of our everyday environment. How can you overcome something you can’t see?

ABC journalist Bill Blakemore thinks one of the reasons Americans don’t—or can’t—accept the threat of climate change is because of the “unprecedented scale and complexity of the crisis of manmade global warming.” And he adds, “It’s new, and therefore unknown, at first. And we’re naturally frightened of the unknown.”

Yet Rob Watson, an environmentalist,

likes to say: “Mother Nature is just chemistry, biology and physics. That’s all she is. You cannot sweet-talk her. You cannot spin her. …Do not mess with Mother Nature. But that is just what we are doing.”

You only need a lick of sense to see that something is terribly wrong. Devastating events, attributable to climate change, are destroying people’s livelihoods and taking lives all around the world. Climate scientists tell us it is only going to get worse unless and until we do something about carbon.

To do something about carbon means reducing our dependence on coal and oil, and here in Wyoming, even talking about it is heresy. But we must begin to talk about it before it is too late, and then we must act.

What can we do? Jim Rogers, CEO of Duke Energy-Progress Energy, the largest electric utility in the United States, said this September: “I believe eventually there will be regulation of carbon in this country.”

James Hansen, one of the world’s leading climate scientists, agrees. In fact, everyone concerned about climate change believes a carbon tax has advantages over every other approach. Still, every single carbon-tax bill introduced in Congress has failed.

I believe it is past time for all of us—and especially those of us who live in Wyoming, where so much carbon is produced—to face the hard truth. We don’t have a choice: We have to face this crisis as if we were at war, because, unfortunately, that is the bitter truth. We are in a fight for our very survival— and for the survival of the whole planet.

CURSES, FOILED AGAIN - Marcus Banwell, 39, was arrested for shoplifting food at a convenience store in Bristol, England, after he ate one of the stolen items: a Scotch bonnet chili pepper. The variety has a heat rating of 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville units, compared with 2,500 to 8,000 for jalapeño peppers. Within seconds, Banwell doubled over in pain. The shopkeeper called police, who recovered four other chili peppers on him, along with a stolen milkshake and fruit juice. Police also found a stolen clarinet tucked inside his waistband, as well as crack cocaine and heroin. (The Huffington Post) After receiving an undisclosed amount of cash at a Pittsburgh bank, a robber found his getaway thwarted when a teller locked the bank’s double glass doors, trapping him between them. Signs prominently displayed on the doors warn they’re part of the bank’s security system. Witnesses said suspect Brandon Massie, 27, was flailing around, screaming and banging his arms and head on the front door, trying to get out, and he left blood on both the glass and the floor. He was treated for cuts and arrested. (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and WTAE-TV)

THREAT OF THE WEEK - Health and safety officials in Manchester, England, banned paper clips for being “too dangerous.” Citing unspecified “recent incidents,” a memo from Manchester NHS Trust officials warned that the use of metal fasteners was “prohibited” in medical surgeries, clinics and offices. It ordered all metal paper fasteners to be “carefully disposed of immediately” and replaced by similar plastic fasteners. (London’s Metro)

SLIGHTEST PROVOCATION - James Davis Wilson, 43, punched an assistant manager at a McDonald’s restaurant in Knoxville, Tenn., over a dispute about a hot fudge sundae. “It had chocolate on the bottom,” Wilson testified at his trial. “The hot fudge should be on top. It freezes up when you get hot fudge on the bottom of it.” Even though assistant manager Brad Skelton refunded Wilson’s money, Wilson hit him in the face. The jury convicted him of misdemeanor assault. (Knoxville News Sentinel) Police in Reno, Nev., took a man into custody for firing a shotgun at a golfer who hit a ball through a window of the shooter’s residence near the 16th hole, which was closed during a brief investigation. Police Lt. Keith Brown said a pellet struck the golfer twice in a leg and once in an arm. (Reno Gazette-Journal) Police charged John Cunningham, 43, with shooting his uncle to death in Jennings, Ill., during an argument over whether the meat they were planning to cook was pork steaks or pork chops. Investigators concluded that Cunningham was correct about the meat being pork steaks but charged him with firstdegree murder anyway. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) Authorities in St. Paul, Minn., charged Matthew Thomas Spangler, 20, and his brother Marco Spangler, 19, with assaulting a 49-year-old man and damaging his vehicle because he honked at them for pulling out in front of him. Prosecutors said the Spanglers threw rocks at the man’s vehicle, punched him in the face when he got out, tried to run him over, then smashed out several windows of the vehicle with a baseball bat and struck the victim in the back and shoulders. (Minneapolis’s KARE-TV)

WHAT COULD GO WRONG? - Authorities in Shaoyang, a financially struggling city in China’s Hunan Province, gave roughly 1,000 neighborhood watch committee members the power to issue tickets to citizens for littering, spitting in public, parking illegally and other minor infractions. The workers, all retirees, are paid about $78 a month, plus 80 percent of all fines they collect. Residents complained that the financial incentives have turned the enforcers into veritable ticketing machines. (The New York Times)

UNNECESSARILY NECESSARY - Missouri voters approved an amendment to the state constitution that reaffirms “the right to pray in a private or public setting,” even though the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights already protect the right to pray. State Rep. Mike McGhee, whose legislation led to the amendment proposal, acknowledged the redundancy, but he and other proponents insist the amendment will fortify protection for Christianity, which they said is under attack. (Fox News)

APP FOR THE AFTERLIFE - A British funeral company is offering to add quick response (QR) codes to headstones, linking smart phones to online biographies featuring pictures, videos and personal messages from family and friends of the deceased. “It’s about keeping people’s memories alive in different ways,” said Stephen Nimmo, managing director of Chester Pearce funeral directors in Poole, Dorset. He explained he got the idea after visiting the Kremlin Wall necropolis in Moscow and realizing he knew so much about the people buried there. Chester Pearce charges about $480 to etch a code on a small granite or metal marker that can be placed on gravestones, benches, trees or plaques to link to a page on its QR Memories website. (Reuters)

CAUSE AND EFFECT - Corn prices have risen because there are so many ethanol plants competing for the corn, but ethanol plants are closing because they can’t afford the corn. After the Central Minnesota Ethanol Co-op in Little Falls laid off most of its 30 workers and suspended production, general manager Dana Persson said, “Until we can buy corn or sell ethanol at a price more conducive to doing business, this is the course we have to take for now.” (The St. Cloud Times) TRIM JOBS - Fifteen students and two employees at Dahl’s College of Beauty in Great Falls, Mont., filed a lawsuit, accusing owners Douglas and Barbara Daughenbaugh of charging students $9,950 for classes, then abruptly expelling them and keeping the money. The plaintiffs, all women, added that the school failed to address sexual harassment allegations against an instructor who later became the school director. According to the 10-page complaint: “Among the offensive and unwelcome conduct included, inter alia, the instructor publicly exposing her genitals, exposing her buttocks and requesting that students examine a boil to see if it could be extracted, requiring students to wax her pubic hair, using a student’s trimmers and wax stick to trim and wax her pubic hair that were, upon information and belief, then used on customer haircuts.” (The Huffington Post)

YET ANOTHER SMOKING HAZARD - A man was injured when his car exploded after he lit a cigarette in Twin Falls, Idaho. Police blamed the blast on after-market modifications to the man’s Ford Mustang.

Investigators learned that gas fumes were a constant issue with the vehicle and labeled the incident “careless.” (Boise’s KTVB-TV)

Tom Daubert leaves the Missoula County Courthouse after a federal judge sentences him to five years probation.

photo by Chad Harder

THE LUCKY ONE Tom Daubert was an architect of the state's medical marijuana law.

Now he's broke, a newly convicted federal felon and facing limited future prospects.

by Jessica Mayrer

T

om Daubert stands flanked by two attorneys at the Russell Smith Federal Courthouse in Missoula, in front of a judge who can sentence him up to 20 years in prison, and pleads his case one last time. He wears a dark suit that contrasts his white beard, and speaks in a measured tone.

“I would say this is the worst day of my life,” he tells the judge, noting the last 18 months haven’t been great either. “I am ruined in many respects.”

Daubert was a successful lobbyist and public relations consultant for 35 years, working mostly in Montana for groups like the hard rock mining industry, the Helena Chamber of Commerce and the Montana Stockgrowers Association. More recently, he’s known for his work on behalf of legalizing medical marijuana and as a primary author of Montana’s 2004 Medical Marijuana Act. In April, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to main-

tain drug-involved premises. The charge resulted from his involvement in Montana Cannabis, at one time among the largest dispensaries in the state. Daubert always envisioned Montana Cannabis as a model for how a caregiver ought to operate.

Daubert had no criminal record before the felony conviction in April. He’s a Princeton graduate who holds a master’s degree in forestry and resource conservation from the University of Montana.

He worked for the Montana Environmental Information Center and later from his Helena office of Daubert & Associates. But today he says he is living on borrowed money. His finances were already bleak before the 2011 legislative session, when he tried desperately to reform Montana’s medical marijuana law. The March 2011 raids of Montana Cannabis and dozens of others like it across the state

[14] Missoula Independent • September 27 – October 4, 2012

only worsened Daubert’s professional prospects, pushing him closer to bankruptcy.

“I had all kinds of aspirations as a kid,” he tells the judge during the Sept. 6 hearing. “Being a federal felon was never one of them.”

The courtroom is full and most in attendance are here to learn the fate of their friend and colleague.

Daubert’s former Montana Cannabis partner, Chris Lindsey, sits with his eyes closed. A woman on the bench in the back row clenches her purse and quietly weeps. Democratic state Sen. Ron Erickson, of Missoula, leans forward to listen. Erickson first met the defendant in the late ‘70s at UM, when Daubert was earning his master’s degree.

Friends say the typically optimistic Daubert seems tired these days. His fatigue comes through in his voice, more subdued than it once was. He’s almost

60. The stress of the medical marijuana crackdown and trial has worn on him.

“I’m not blaming anyone but myself,” he tells the judge. “I am a person who has never sought to hurt others, only to help them.”

Dozens of people submitted character letters to the court on Daubert’s behalf. Nine-term U.S. Congressman Pat Williams says Daubert is trustworthy.

Former Seattle Police Chief Norman Stamper, who now works with Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, calls it “grossly unfortunate and unfair” for Daubert to be characterized as a criminal. Roy Kemp, who oversees the medical marijuana program for the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, attests to Daubert’s efforts to reform the 2004 marijuana law. Even Daubert’s ex-wife writes in his defense.

The prosecutor acknowledges Daubert’s case is unique. “There’s a lot of good to be said about this defendant,” he says. He still suggests a six-to-eight year sentence would be appropriate. Despite Montana’s Medical Marijuana Act, federal law classifies marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance. According to the federal government, marijuana has no medical benefit and a high potential for abuse; cocaine is classified in Schedule II, a lower tier level than marijuana.

“It is my judgement that you will hereby be placed on probation for a term of five years,” says Judge Dana Christensen at the end of the sentencing.

The judge goes on to explain that Daubert must serve 300 hours of community service and finish paying off $50,000 in fines, the approximate profit that he made during his 18 months at Montana Cannabis.

He’s ordered to stay away from marijuana and isn’t allowed to exceed the legal driving limit on alcohol, or .08 on a Breathalyzer test. The judge says he won’t order that Daubert be drug tested.

Daubert’s case is over, but much of his life remains unsettled. He may be able to finally move on from 18 months of legal issues, but when asked what he plans to do next he shrugs his shoulders and says, “When you find out, let me know.” He describes himself as thankful. He knows things could have been, as they are for so many others stuck in the industry’s fallout, much worse.

• • • Two days after Daubert’s sentencing, he wears Birkenstocks and cargo shorts and smokes American Spirit cigarettes at Hempfest in Caras Park. The hot sun beats down on booths selling hemp soap, feathered earrings and hemp oil. The smell of incense hangs in the air.

Friends and strangers stop to hug Daubert. A man who apparently doesn’t recognize him asks the newly minted felon if he can spare a “a couple of hits.”

Daubert quips: “I’m dry by federal order, my friend.”

Daubert long planned on attending Hempfest.

Even if he was sentenced to jail, he thought he’d have a couple weeks to arrange his affairs. But he admits that he always believed the judge would be lenient with his sentencing.

Daubert describes himself as a man of faith. He was born on Columbus Day in 1952 to a school-

teacher mother and a father who worked for a pharmaceutical company. Daubert says his parents instilled a strong moral compass in him early on, and it guided him through his classes at William Penn Charter School, a prestigious Quaker high school in Philadelphia.

The Quakers, or Religious Society of Friends, were prominent in Philadelphia while Daubert was growing up. Daubert, an only child, says he always felt comfortable in silence, and the Quakers taught that spiritual guidance comes through quiet reflection.

That teaching was tested in 10th grade when Daubert and two classmates rolled out Vast Minority, a magazine that promoted antiwar politics. They distributed the Vietnam-era publication throughout

such as the fact the Chinese used it as medicine as early as 5,000 BC. Through his work with the Medical Marijuana Project, Daubert met people like Robin Prosser, who suffered from a lupus-like immunosuppressive disease that left her in constant pain. Allergic to many pharmaceuticals, she used medical marijuana to quell muscle spasms. Prosser committed suicide in 2007 when, because of federal law enforcement intervention, she was unable to get the one cannabis strain that eased her pain.

“Getting to know and love those people helped make the issue a passion for me,” Daubert says.

His passion was a driving force behind the 2004 campaign for CI 148, which later became the Medical Marijuana Act. The law passed with 62 percent of the vote.

“I had all kinds of aspirations as a kid. Being a federal felon was never one of them.”

—Tom Daubert

Quaker schools in southeastern Pennsylvania, and it didn’t sit well with everyone. Students burned it in protest. Daubert’s boyhood friend and magazine cofounder, Jeffrey A. Hartman, wrote in a letter submitted at Daubert’s sentencing that Daubert did not respond to such “hate speech” with anger, but rather, “something I can only call grace.”

This same sort of diplomacy helped Daubert bring divergent interests together at the Montana Capitol. In 2004, the Marijuana Policy Project hired him to be a part of the campaign to legalize medical cannabis. Daubert focused the campaign’s message on recent studies that show how the plant helps treat cancer, diabetes, muscle spasms, nausea, inflammation and pain, among other conditions, and it’s possible effects on patients. He added historical context,

Though passage of the law marked a professional and personal success, Daubert now says that he would have done things differently. “I would have said to people, ‘Okay, we’ve just won a very important symbolic issue and not a thing has changed. But what we now have is a stronger argument to [Montana’s congressional] delegation to insist that they participate in creating a federal policy that would honor this issue at the state level,’” he says.

Daubert is also the first to admit the law was problematic. “There were a lot of nuances about what it was going to take to really make it work for patients that the law didn’t spell out,” he says.

In successive legislative sessions, Daubert attempted to refine and clarify the Medical Marijuana Act. Those efforts didn’t pan out. In a character letter

to the court, Roy Kemp, who oversees the state’s marijuana registry, noted how Daubert aimed for improvements and clarifications while the state was otherwise “unable to obtain any clear statements about how to proceed under state law or even who to ask.”

In 2007, Daubert founded the nonprofit Patients and Families United, a support group for medical marijuana patients and providers that aimed to educate legislators and the public about the merits of cannabis use.

Two years later, his role in educating the public drastically changed. “The so-called “Ogden Memo,” which stated that the federal government would not prosecute medical marijuana providers who were in “clear and unambiguous compliance” with state medical marijuana laws, opened the door to a booming new industry. Caregivers who had previously kept their operations behind closed doors suddenly opened dispensaries in clear view across Montana.

The patient population ballooned, too. At the end of 2009 there were 7,339 patients on the state marijuana registry. In May 2011, that number peaked at 31,522.

After the Ogden Memo came out, caregivers surfaced who seemed to be impervious to cultural sensitivities or political realities. Daubert took issue with providers that flaunted their business. In 2009, for instance, he publicly chastised the Montana Caregivers Network, known for its traveling medical marijuana clinics and brief doctor visits, in an op-ed column published in the Great Falls Tribune.

“A lot of people jumped into the issue with, as far as I could tell, no understanding of the nuances of the law and very little concern for Montana culture and how not to create political backlash,” Daubert says. “I could foresee political disaster right around the corner.”

When he formed Montana Cannabis with Chris Lindsey, Chris Williams and Richard Flor, the men aspired to make it a beacon for other providers who were grappling with the law. They also aimed to prove that a dispensary could operate transparently and in the spirit of the Medical Marijuana Act. They frequently gave tours of the facility to legislators, law enforcement and media. “It seemed to me someone had to do that in a dramatic, visible way,” Daubert says.

But it was unanswered questions in the state’s Medical Marijuana Act, such as caregiver-to-caregiver trans-

“I’m grateful for the judge’s leniency, but I will never stop believing that patients who benefit medically from cannabis deserve laws that honor actual science and thousands of years of human history,” Daubert says.

actions, or whether hash was permitted under the law, that later gave the federal government ammunition against Daubert and the other Montana Cannabis partners.

It was during the 2011 legislative session, as Daubert was regularly meeting with legislators and law enforcement, such as the state’s top narcotics officer, Mark Long, that the raids occurred.

“I felt that I was forming really solid, trusting, respectful relationships with them, and becoming much more in tune to the problems that they had with the law,” Daubert says.

Lovell sentenced Richard Flor to five years in federal custody for maintaining druginvolved premises. Richard Flor’s wife and son were also prosecuted for their roles maintaining a medical marijuana business from their Miles City home and from a Billings dispensary.

According to the federal indictment, the Flors “possessed firearms in order to facilitate the drug trafficking crimes…to protect caches of marijuana plants…and proceeds obtained from the distribution of marijuana, and to intimidate those who challenged the manner in which the con-

She now sees Richard Flor’s inability to access marijuana while in prison as partially responsible for his rapid decline in health.

Her father was taking more than 30 different medicines and vitamins to treat his ailments, including osteoporosis and diabetes. While incarcerated, she says he also broke both his clavicle and a cervical bone falling out of bed. She alleges Crossroads didn’t give her father access to his full complement of prescription medicines, and is “seriously contemplating” filing a lawsuit.

year-old son Sage was ready to start college classes at Montana State University.

Williams is preparing to be sent away for a long time. He’s the only Montana Cannabis partner to fight the federal drug charges. Williams’ attorney has said an innocent plea isn’t likely to elicit lenience from the court. Williams is well aware of that. But he’s stubborn. It’s about principle, he says.

“The concept that the government should be able to tell you that you can’t grow a plant and use it as medication for yourself just seems crazy to me,” he says.

Richard Flor stands in the middle of his Miles City garden. His daughter Kristin Flor says, “He worked hard to build that garden up.”

Despite the fact that his career is now in shambles, Daubert isn’t angry with any one person. He sees the issue in broader terms.

“So many more people are suffering more—and will—than I am,” he says.

••• On Aug. 29, Kristin Flor packed quickly. She had just learned that her father, Richard Flor, suffered two heart attacks while en route from the Crossroads Correctional Facility in Shelby to an undisclosed federal detention center. He was hospitalized in Las Vegas.

Richard Flor, who was a part owner of Montana Cannabis, was the first registered caregiver in Montana. When Kristin arrived at the hospital, her 68-year-old father was still alive. Two guards watched over him. Richard’s mouth moved when he saw her, but no words came out. Though he was still handcuffed to the bed, Richard squeezed Kristin’s hand.

“He died in his shackles,” she says.

In April, U.S. District Judge Charles

spiracy was conducted.” Kristin, who’s 36 and the mother of two, explains her father was a lifelong hunter and gun collector.

“They try to portray my dad like he was the leader of a gang,” she says. “It’s completely ridiculous to me how they can discredit him so much.”

She says a better description of her dad is “a hippie” and a “little bit of a rebel.”

Though the Miles City native had no college degree, he loved to write and always knew the answers to questions posed on the TV show “Jeopardy.” He sold siding and real estate until helping launch Montana Cannabis in 2009.

The March 2011 raids changed everything for the family. The federal government seized several of the Flor family’s cars, all of the guns and the family home, which had been handed down from Kristin’s grandparents. “He felt really guilty about losing the house,” Kristin says.

“They took everything,” she adds.

“They took his freedom, they took his dignity, his pride, everything he had and stripped him until he was dead.”

Steve Owen, a Corrections Corp. spokesperson, cited privacy concerns when declining to comment on Flor’s specific care. But Owen defended the institution in a written statement.

“Our dedicated, professional corrections and medical staff at Crossroads are firmly committed to the health and safety of the inmates entrusted to our care; we meet or exceed the rigorous and comprehensive standards of our government partners…” Owen said. “The facility and staff are subject to strong oversight.”

Kristin says her father’s story isn’t just about problems with the prison system or medical marijuana. “It’s also over how wrong the system is, it’s over how wrong the laws are,” she says. “It’s over how a man can end up in that situation in the first place.”

••• During the weeks leading up to Chris Williams’ Sept. 24 trial in Helena, the former Montana Cannabis partner found a new home for his dog. He also made sure his 16-

Because federal law trumps state law when the two conflict, former cannabis providers facing federal prosecution have not been allowed to shield themselves with Montana’s Medical Marijuana Act. That means Williams is barred from using the state law as a defense in court.

Williams’ former Montana Cannabis partner, Missoula attorney Chris Lindsey, is pleading guilty to charges of conspiracy to maintain drug-involved premises. The father of an 8-year-old son, he says he doesn’t see any other recourse.

Despite Lindsey’s legal challenges, the attorney continues to serve on the Montana Cannabis Industry Association Board and defend former caregivers and medical marijuana patients from federal prosecution. Lindsey is fearful for his future and that of his family, but, he says, somebody has to lead.

“It’s important to me to be part of the change,” Lindsey says. “Social change does not come without risk.”

Among Lindsey’s tasks is to raise awareness about IR 124, a Montana initia-

tive asking voters if they want to reject the 2011 Montana Legislature’s changes to the state’s medical marijuana law. SB 423 crippled Montana’s cannabis industry, largely by taking the profit out of caregiving.

If voters say “no” to IR 124 in November, SB 423 gets tossed and state law would revert back to the 2004 Medical Marijuana Act. Lindsey says medical marijuana proponents don’t want a return to the “Wild, Wild West,” a free-for-all with cannabis caravans and assembly line clinics. What the industry does want is a more specific law, one that gives patients, providers and law enforcement predictability and reassurance.

“We want the legislature to go back and do a better law,” he says. “If the voters want this, our elected officials owe it to them to get it right.”

Once Montana gets its house in order, advocates will have a stronger pitch to take to Montana’s congressional delegation. One mechanism to reschedule marijuana under federal law is through congressional action.

Montana’s congressional delegation, however, doesn’t appear poised to take on that cause anytime soon. In fact, marijuana advocates and civil libertarians are decrying their relative silence.

“One of the questions that befuddles me is, where is our congressional delegation on this issue?” asks Scott Chrichton, director of the Montana ACLU. “Why are they just completely silent? And I don’t have an answer for that.”

Daubert points out that there was hardly a peep from the congressional delegation after the raids. He found that puzzling after each member quickly cried foul in September 2011, when the federal government moved to ban gun ownership among medical marijuana patients. Sen. Jon Tester, for instance, fired off a letter to the Department of Justice, urging it to reconsider its stance, saying, “These regulatory changes infringe upon the privacy and Second Amendment rights of Montanans.”

The Independent contacted each member of Montana’s congressional delegation for this article, specifically asking about the lack of substantive discourse on the issue of medical marijuana. Sen. Max Baucus’ spokeswoman issued a two-sentence response via email, as did Tester’s campaign. Rep. Denny Rehberg’s campaign did not respond.

Baucus’ spokeswoman said, “Max believes patients and their doctors should have every appropriate tool to manage pain and their health care choices within the law, while also ensuring the system is not being abused.”

Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts introduced legislation last year to reschedule cannabis under federal law, but the bill is languishing in committee. The states, meanwhile, continue to mount efforts to loosen marijuana restrictions.

Some, like Oregon, Colorado and Washington state, are contemplating legalizing the drug altogether this November.

The Washington state initiative would make marijuana possession legal for

adults 21 and older. The drug would be grown by licensed farmers and sold in private marijuana-only stores, also licensed and taxed by the state. Forty percent of tax revenue generated by the program would go into the state’s general fund and local municipalities, while the rest of the proceeds would pay for substance abuse prevention programs, education and health care. The law would create a new marijuana DUI standard that would operate like the state’s drunken driving law.

It remains to be seen how the federal government would respond to legalization.

• • • Montana state Rep. David Howard, from Park City, evoked colorful imagery last year when summing up his take on the Montana Legislature’s attempts to reform the state’s medical marijuana law. “A good friend of mine said it’s impossible to make chicken salad out of chicken scat,” he said. “But that’s what this body is trying to do.”

Howard chaired the House Human Services Committee, which worked with Billings Republican Sen. Jeff Essman to draft and amend SB 423. Now law, the legislation stripped the profit out of caregiving and limited how many patients providers can have. Howard made the comments in April 2011 during a debate about the merits of SB 423.

Human Services Committee Vice Chair Cary Smith, a Republican, also testified that day in support of SB 423. He told those gathered in the House chambers that it was incumbent upon the legislature to “put the genie back in the bottle.”

Opposition to medical marijuana in Montana remains vigilant. In a recent interview with the Independent, Smith highlighted some of the concerns legislators grappled with in the weeks leading up to passage of SB 423. Opponents called it a de facto repeal of the state’s Medical Marijuana Act, but Smith saw the changes in SB 423 as a return to the original ballot language, which was about “taking care of grandma that’s dying of cancer.”

The original ballot language, Smith says, never called for building a cannabis

industry. Mainstream Montanans don’t want to see marijuana dispensaries on every corner, he says. There was a regulatory vacuum because the legislature never envisioned an industry.

“And, of course, that became the problem that the federal government had with it also,” Smith says. “They were leaving people pretty much alone as long as you were growing it for yourself and you weren’t selling it. But when you started trying to have a business or an industry that’s when the raids came about.”

The federal government’s marijuana prohibition means that there’s no topdown regulatory scheme in place. While federal agencies regulate tobacco, alcohol and pharmaceuticals, that’s just not doable with marijuana. In the face of that void, the state simply isn’t equipped to regulate a booming marijuana industry, Smith says.

“What kind of quality control do you have when you don’t have all these agencies?” Smith says. “And then, what are we going to do? Are we going to try to grow the government in the state of Montana?”

Smith says the arguments marijuana proponents use, saying that the drug is less dangerous than alcohol, pharmaceuticals and tobacco, don’t hold water with him. Montana already tops many of its peers when it comes to alcohol and prescription drug abuse. Why open the door to another vice?

“It’s almost like saying, ‘Why don’t you let people drive 80 miles an hour, it’s not as dangerous as 90 miles an hour?’”

Smith says. “I just don’t see the point in adding another thing to the mix.”

Safety was also a significant worry for police. Law enforcement, including Missoula Police Chief Mark Muir, testified in favor of repealing the medical marijuana law. When expressing concern about the rapid growth of the cannabis industry, Muir compared the industry to the Gulf oil spill and said, “Think again when people say…’We can’t put a cap on this.’”

During Daubert’s sentencing, federal prosecutor Joe Thaggard pointed to the combination of drugs and guns at Montana Cannabis, specifically, as being

“volatile and dangerous.” As further proof of the potentially explosive situation, Thaggard highlighted the fact that the dispensary employed convicted kidnapper Dan Nichols. In 1985, Nichols was convicted along with his father, Don Nichols, of abducting and injuring Olympic biathlete Kari Swenson.

“The defendant cannot just walk away from that,” Thaggard said.

• • • Before Judge Christensen announced his decision in Daubert’s case, he made a point of saying that the federal Department of Justice decides who is prosecuted, but sentencing decisions are “mine to make and mine alone.” The judge also explained that he’d read every word of the 72-character letters submitted on Daubert’s behalf. Christensen seems to respond to the letter writers when he acknowledges that there “appears to be an irreconcilable conflict” between state and federal law. That conflict may seem unfair in the minds of some, he says, but it’s to Daubert’s credit that he didn’t try to take on federal law.

It may seem strange, but Daubert says the ordeal has been good for him in some respects.

“I would almost recommend this as an incredible growth opportunity,” he says.

“You either get yourself together, to the extent that you’re not already, or you don’t.”

He plans to use his recent experiences with the federal government to write a book about how it feels to be a prosecutorial target. Other than that, he’s not sure of his plans. As for future advocacy efforts, Daubert says he’s committed to remaining a personal supporter of medical marijuana, but he’s not yet sure if he can stomach a continued career championing Montana’s medical marijuana movement.

“You can only take so much cynicism and still operate in the political arena,” he says. “The judge said I am allowed to go to the legal limit on alcohol. I think I’m way beyond the sensible operational limit on cynicism right now.”

Minute man

Mike Watt blows it out both ends with Hyphenated-Man

by Jason McMackin

Photo courtesy of Jonny Sized

I

t was 1993 when Mike Watt’s post-Minutemen outfit Firehose (stylized as fIREHOSE) rolled into Portland, Ore.’s La Luna and put on a clinic in rock and roll basics. Expectations were high as Watt and co. hit the stage. The Supersuckers had thrown down a solid set and people were drunk and ready to mosh. The band’s dress matched that of the crowd: flannel on flannel and jeans. Some mohawked punkers skulked around, but they seemed too cool for this crowd. From the darkened stage the ringy-dingy, fleshy tone of Watt’s bass tattled that the boys were about ready.

There are probably three bassists in the entire world who can garner an audience’s attention with a couple of arbitrary notes. Watt is one of them. As the band began, everyone pressed forward. Third song in, Watt broke a string. He casually pulled out another from his back pocket as he kept playing and set about replacing it, hitting all the right notes, re-tuning and, by the way, singing (spieling, as he calls it) on this par-

ticular jam. The whole deal took less than 30 seconds.

We were blown away by the man’s casual onstage demeanor; a lesser musician might have ruined the tune, not Watt. He could play better than all of us with one hand behind his back—literally!

With all the different projects he’s been involved in, one would think Watt has no attention span. The fact is, people just want to work with one of the alltime great punk rock bassists and winner of Bass Player Magazine’s lifetime achievement award. His work with the seminal trio the Minutemen proved that punk needn’t be sloppy to capture the movement’s spirit. He currently plays bass for The Stooges and a reformed fIREHOSE recently did a short tour. He has played with Sonic Youth, J Mascis, Porno for Pyros and so many one-off projects that it would take an accountant a year to tabulate. He also provided studio bass licks for pop princess Kelly Clarkson’s album, My December. Because he is a music man, a guy who has consistently played live and recorded for nearly 35

years—except during a bout of illness in 2000—it’s no surprise that Watt is touring on the back of an album that is two years old. He’s just been too darned busy to bring it our way.

Hyphenated-man is Watt’s third opera. Yes, opera.

No worries, though, Watt fans. There are no horned ladies shrieking tunes in foreign languages. This is Watt doing his spiel on 30 short tracks, joined by The Missingmen, guitarist Tom Watson and drummer Raul Morales. On his website, Watt describes the work as a peek inside his middle-aged mind. The track “Blowing It Out Both Ends Man,” is a good example of the stream of consciousness lyrics on the album; it features the phrase, “Blow the flute become the flute there’s no sound in flutes! Throat veins throbbin’ eyeballs crossin’ insane ragin’ fuckin’ ravin’ god damn go off far too far off pert-near ready to pop! (and no beards).”

Although the imagery of his lyrics can be cuckoofor-Cocoa-Puffs killer, Watt and his bands are beloved for the super-tight grooves he and his drummer lock

into, or the way he fills sonic space with hot licks that most bassists would need 12 fingers to perform. Hyphenated-man is full of so many stops, twists, turns and dirty burnouts into rock and roll oblivion that it’s impossible to believe how adroitly the trio performs.

It sounds like a roller coaster riding one rail on the downhill side of a track: just out of control, yet still pushing forward. For all bass or drum playing children, this should be required listening. Like Hemingway’s bullfighters with their grace under pressure, Watt makes everything look easy. This week he stands on a stage in France with Iggy and the Stooges, next week he plays a club in Idaho for 50 people. Either way, as he always says, he “jams econo.”

Mike Watt and The Missingmen play Zoo City Apparel, 139 E. Main St., Mon., Oct. 1, at 8 PM, with Bird’s Mile Home. $13/$10 advance at Ear Candy. jmcmackin@missoulanews.com

Family affair Nicole Garr looks back on the Top Hat legacy

by Erika Fredrickson

N

icole Garr never intended to come back to Missoula, and especially not because of a bar.

The Top Hat—the Front Street venue her father, Steve Garr, owned since 1988—harbored good memories for her, but it had always been that smoky, boozy place where she felt like “a little kid in a room of big guys.” Plus, Nicole and her partner, Armando, were far removed from the culture of beer-slinging regulars and late-night bands while running a yoga studio in Hawaii.

Then something happened during a family reunion in summer 2008. “We were kind of enchanted,” she says. “We thought, ‘Man, we could come here and just put pause on the yoga center for a little bit, help Dad get this place back on its feet.’”

Nicole and Armando were enamored by quite a scene. Steve had been collecting artifacts that had taken over his house in Milltown and all the rooms in the space above the Top Hat. His intention for years had been to start a thrift store called Camel Trading Company. One room was full of Tonka trucks and baseball bats. Another room brimmed with Mason jars, glassware and sewing machines. There were bass guitars and fur coats and clawfoot bathtubs. There was the toilet that media icon Paul Harvey used when he was on air at the KGVO radio station housed in the space.

Nicole and Armando thought it'd be a quick cleanup project. They’d come out in December, paint everything, sort through the artifacts and be done.

But when they came back in December, reality set in.

Steve was not well; bar life was catching up to him. “Budweiser was his water,” notes Nicole. At night, Nicole could hear his raspy breathing. He started parsing out his possessions—original Jay Rummel works, for instance—for Nicole and her five siblings. She asked him, “Dad what are you doing?” He told her, “I’m not going to be around much longer.”

Nicole also learned that her dad was in debt to the tune of $62,000. In the 1980s and early 1990s, the Top Hat successfully hosted hot blues and roots bands. But for years, the money hadn’t added up. Steve would fly blues musicians to the club on his own dime, put them up in hotels, buy them food, pay them guarantees and rack up credit cards to make it happen—but rarely make enough at the door to cover costs. By the time Nicole and Armando arrived to help, Nicole says employees had not been paid for months.

Things went from bad to worse when Steve Garr died in February 2009. The Garrs had lost their father and the employees were devastated. A few days after his death, the electricity was shut off; Steve owed $3,000 in unpaid bills. His hospital bill amounted to $25,000.

With two liens on the Top Hat, the easy way out would have been for the family to give the bar up and let it shut down. Instead, Nicole and Armando—who had just found out they were pregnant— decided to run the Top Hat with Nicole’s sister Greta as a managing bartender. “For me, it’s like the back of my hand. And, I thought, ‘It will only take six months or a year,’”she says, laughing.

That was four years ago. In that time, Nicole and the staff have made major changes. Nicole fired and

rehired staff. She asked for three months from credit companies and lenders to get the bar back in the black. On the first day she was able to pay her employees, she says many offered their checks back to help her out.

In the bar itself, she and her family scraped the nicotine off all the walls and tossed gambling machines, neon signs and other bar swag. They put up

a sunflower mandala by the stage. They rebuilt the sound system, took out the railing, put slate on the back room floor and added plants, an espresso machine and juice bar. They created an outdoor patio and cleaned up the green room—it had been full of washing machines. They took out the vending machine at the front of the bar so light would shine through the window.

They’ve hosted a diversity of bands, turning the space from a mostly blues and roots venue to one that has embraced electronic, hip-hop, garage, indie acts and aerial troupes. They also started family-friendly nights and showcased First Friday shows.

Like all change, it wasn’t popular with everyone.

Critics lamented the old Top Hat. In the bathroom one day Nicole saw someone had scribbled: “Steve Garr is rolling over in his grave right now. Go back to Hawaii.” She grits her teeth at that one.

“If they knew my dad they’d know that he only encouraged us to do what we wanted to do,” she says.

“And I was definitely influenced by old employees who helped me understand the nuances of this old building. It was a slow transition to get here.”

Nicole is the first to admit that her father was a contentious man who garnered loyalty from some and strong dislike from others. People who wanted to talk to him were told they had five minutes, and even then, Steve might cut them off impatiently.

Nicole recalls cringing at that. “My dad was so raw and he spoke what was on his mind and that kind of put a lot of people off who would have helped him,” she says. “He’d be like ‘That isn't music!” He was particular and quick to criticize and speak his truth.”

Nicole admits she’s different from her dad in many ways—and talking to her, you can see it. She gives long hugs. She cries in front of staff. She admits her weaknesses. “My dad?” she laughs. “Are you kidding? He’d never admit his.”

But she’s also strong-willed like him, and fierce.

“Something of my dad came into me,” she says.

“He used to call me ‘mouth of the North, South, East and West.’ And it used to make me so mad. My mouth is what it is. I don’t have a filter and I’m okay with that. There’s so much bullshit that goes on in this business. I have so much more respect for my dad now.”

The Garrs recently found a buyer for their family bar: An entrepreneur named Nick Checota plans to keep it as a music venue and add a restaurant in the basement. The bar has gone from nine employees, when Nicole first came on board, to 25 and Checota plans to keep them on.

Nicole and Armando will move back to Hawaii.

She hopes that they can start up a place that mixes their love for yoga and health with the kind of music diversity and bar merriment she gained from the Top Hat. Nicole admits she's having a hard time letting the bar go.

“I have so much regret right now. This place could be so much more,” she says as she starts to tear up. “I’ve had a great staff. I feel really proud in my heart overall. There might not be a lot coming into the family from this sale but I look back at our goal, and our goal was to clear my father’s name and to make this place a happening, desirable, clean, beautiful, glowing place.

And it already was, it just needed to have some layers of dross ripped out. Now, I can’t say it’s sadness or happiness I’m feeling. But it’s like a weight is lifting.” efredrickson@missoulanews.com

Bad Teeth, good Bright White Lightning parties ‘til the end If you can’t dance while you’re brooding, why bother with being alive at all? Seattle’s Bright White Lightning gets it, which is why Bad Teeth is so good. In “Weekend Rapture,” they sing “We’re all gonna die” over and over again, but the rock and roll shake mixed with mechanic purrs and blips of arcade and Keno sounds makes everything seem fine: Last night on Earth? Might as well party. “Love Lost” could have been unearthed from the same time capsule as Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence.” Despite the celestial, new-romantic sound, it pulls off a dangerous sneer. What if Depeche Mode’s David Gahan and The Dwarves’ Blag Dahlia made a song together? This would be it.

The band uses Nintendo Game Boy, Commodore Amiga, Atari XL and several synths to make electronic chip rock. Some songs dabble in ska bass lines and others employ badass guitar solos fit for a slo-mo fight

scene in a Jet Li movie. “Amigo” is the best song on here. It’s about a robot, but when singer Scott Howell sings, “I thought I was just a living wage/ ’til I told myself I would have to break away,” you know it’s about all of us. (Erika Fredrickson) Bright White Lightning plays the Badlander Fri., Sept. 28, for KBGA’s Birthday Bash, with The Extremities, Fly Moon Royalty, The Sidekicks and other bands at 9 PM. $7/$5 advance at Ear Candy. $10 for ages 18–20.

K. Flay: Eyes Shut K. Flay had me hooked with her cover of Liz Phair’s “Fuck and Run”—a more hip-hopified version as heartbreakingly raw as the original. Fortunately, the San Francisco artist isn’t just a cover queen. On her new EP Eyes Shut she offers all originals—ones that are witty, tough and honest as any old-school Phair tune. K. Flay, aka Kristine Flaherty, is a Stanford graduate but there’s no whiff of shelteredness here.

On “10th Avenue” she clears her throat and sniffs in rhythm before rhyming: “Who do I love? Well not anyone, take my hot dog on a poppy seed bun.

Frightened, cause I got a lot of people counting on me.

And I’m talking like an asshole, walking like a zombie.”

“Sunburn” has a breezy Built to Spill chorus, but K. Flay never loses her edge when she sings pretty. “We Hate Everyone” is frighteningly misanthropic, but totally relatable. “A dozen idiots rubbing tits in a mosh pit/Paid all my bills but the water’s still toxic.” K. Flay isn’t just complaining; she’s both giving voice to an apathetic generation and being critical of it. One last note: her lonewolf approach to production and recording translates well to her one-woman live shows. (Erika Fredrickson) K. Flay plays the Top Hat Tue., Oct. 2, at 10 PM with Michna. $10/$8 advance.

Sic Alps: Sic Alps A word of advice to bands: If you want people to care about your music, make it sound like you care about your music. Another reviewer put it perfectly when he described Sic Alps’ sound on their eponymous fifth album as “an enveloping haze of indifference.” I understand garage rock would be nothing without that too-cool-for-school, apathetic ethos, and that garage rock is, by definition, rough. But I don’t have much patience for bands that fail to live up to their own clear musical potential, simply because things like, oh, say, playing in tune and keeping a beat just aren’t cool.

I say “clear musical potential,” because Sic Alps

certainly has it. While album opener “Glyphs” is clunky, it has Beatles-inspired hooks, including nice orchestral touches. “Thylacine Man” is a minimalist guitar-and-vocals tune that showcases Sic Alps’ ability to perform a beautiful song that stays the course, melodically and rhythmically. “Wake Up, It’s Over II” pilfers its progression from “Hey Joe,” though that familiarity may be its saving grace. Meanwhile, “Drink Up!” is a sloppy sonic trainwreck from start to finish, enough to make me walk away entirely. (Melissa Mylchreest) Sic Alps plays the VFW Tue., Oct. 2, at 10 PM with Thee Oh Sees. $7 advance at Ear Candy.

Cat Power: Sun Since the release of her aptly-named 2006 album The Greatest, Chan Marshall has struggled with alcoholism, bankruptcy, mental illness and a public split from Giovanni Ribisi. You can hear it on Sun. Gone is the piano-heavy soul of The Greatest, and in its place are drum machines and even occasional Autotune. The most striking difference, though, is the terrible moral authority of tracks like “Human Being” and “3, 6, 9.” Cat Power has suffered, even after she tried to stop, and Sun sounds apocalyptic and accusatory in the manner of Lion and the Cobra-era Sinead O’Connor.

[20] Missoula Independent • September 27 – October 4, 2012

It’s a substantial departure, and for the most part it is interesting and fun. Marshall seems to have lost some of her sense of nuance in the transition to a new style, however, and several of the tracks on Sun sound interchangeable. They’re catchy, but they lack that staring-at-her-shoes intrigue that has been the hallmark of Cat Power’s career. One exception is “Manhattan,” an oblique and muted sigh that ranks among her best songs. Mostly, though, Sun accomplishes the strange feat of sounding new in the same way over and over.

Personal problems notwithstanding, she can do better.

Do what we want I’m Now captures grunge’s golden age

by Jason McMackin

For those of us of a certain age, the summer and fall of 1991 was the first adult step into the big, bad flannel-clad world. As children of the Pacific Northwest we already owned the appropriate attire for the coming Grunge™ revolution: shorts, long johns, combat boots, Chuck Taylors, berets and, of course, the ubiquitous button-up flannel shirts of our fathers. The band that had guided us to this point wasn’t Nirvana or Soundgarden or Pearl Jam; the band was Mudhoney.

Why? Because these guys weren’t intimidating. They looked like us and we looked up to them as the cool older brothers we never had. As Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil says of the band in the documentary I’m Now: The Story of Mudhoney, “They are the people who would be watching them.”

avoids the pitfalls of a VH1 “Behind the Music” documentary mainly because there isn’t too much controversy surrounding Mudhoney; although, the filmmakers and band do clearly mock the melodrama of the form with slow, swelling music as Arm and the band casually discuss his heroin use, his multiple overdoses and subsequent recovery. As the band always tried to avoid musical and personal clichés, Arm admits, in a self-aware way, to at one time being “a rock guy, on heroin, going out with a stripper.”

While the film is full of fun and nostalgic scenes of kids mosh-pitting with bad shoes and worse haircuts, it is at its best during the more recent one-on-one interviews with band members. Turner and Arm were always seen as the leaders, but drummer Dan Peters

They begin I’m Now with an eloquent, no-bull quote from Mudhoney lead vocalist Mark Arm who says, “Any time you’re playing music for the crowd instead of yourself, you’re fucked.” That’s been the band’s ethos from the beginning, and as we are introduced to record executives, music writers, friends and quotable luminaries such as the Circle Jerks’ Keith Morris, Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament and record producer Jack Endino, we learn that Mudhoney may be the only band besides Fugazi to never completely surrender to the corporatocracy of the music industry.

Without saying as much, I’m Now functions as an abbreviated history of the rise of grunge. Because Mudhoney is often credited with being one of the first, if not the original grunge band, this is unavoidable.

(Some would argue that Green River, a project with Stone Gossard and Ament of Pearl Jam, is the first. I’m not sure if I agree—I could argue it either way.) Narratively, the film follows the band from its earliest beginnings, when Arm and guitarist Steve Turner played in their first band, Mr. Epp and the Calculations, which Arm began while in high school. Watching Mudhoney grow up is a window into how the music industry works. It’s a look at the dynamics of fame. The film

and bassist Matt Lukin steal the show. Peters humbly shares his brushes with fame as the almost-drummer of Nirvana and Screaming Trees, while Lukin, looking about 20 years older than the other guys, cements the band’s reputation as “regular Joes” who down beers and live by their own code. The kindness and humor of these guys is what drives the movie.

Mudhoney was never as big as some of its Seattle and Sub Pop Records cohorts and that seems fine with the band. If you’re looking to hear complaints about fame and taxes or how the wrong people made it to the top, you won’t find that here. What you’ll find in this film is a band that didn’t take itself too seriously, that drank more than it should and that made fun of and upset Sonic Youth while on tour with them. They were sometimes immature, but they made music how they wanted to make it. This film deftly captures the band’s tenor and the kind of solid friendships that have allowed them to continue grunge-rocking for the last 25 years.

The House at the End of the Street is a film as lame and derivative as its title suggests, marketed to cinematically challenged teenagers and just about no one else. It’s a horror/suspense that’s too predictable to be scary and too serious and bland to laugh at.

Jennifer Lawrence stars as Elissa. You might remember Lawrence from The Hunger Games earlier this year, or her Academy Award-nominated performance in Winter’s Bone in 2010. At first glance, she has a round, unintimidating face, so that for a moment, a teenage girl might think, “Hey, she’s just like me.”

guys who still live in the house of their dead parents.

After Tucker attempts a PG-13-style sexual assault on Elissa at a house party in broad daylight, she attempts to walk the 10 miles home in the rain and is rescued by Ryan. He tells her he heard her singing in the woods earlier (in some of the worst and most obvious lip synching of recent memory). It’s the fantasy of every teenage girl realized. Of course she chooses the brooding, lonely kid who her mother doesn’t trust, has just enough facial hair and owns his own home.

Glamour shot

But take her in all at once and it’s clear that she’s a goddess, carved out of supernatural stone. Girls, you will likely fall short of this level of beauty, and boys, you will never sleep with her. But this is why we watch movies, to pretend.

At the beginning, Elissa and her recently divorced mother Sarah (Elisabeth Shue) have moved to a sleepy town with a lot of woods between the houses in order to get a “fresh start.” Sarah is super MILF-y and she seems to have a good enough relationship with her daughter. If only she were a better mom than a friend and/or didn’t always work so late!

Rumors in town abound about the house at the end of the street. Years ago, a girl named Carrie Anne murdered her parents and then absconded into the woods, where it’s assumed she later drowned in the river, except they never found the body. Her brother Ryan (Max Thieriot) was conveniently not around at the time of the murders. Now Ryan is college-age and living alone in the house he inherited from his parents. This makes the neighbors really mad, because spooky houses inhabited by orphaned teens drive down their property value, apparently.

There’s a handsome rich kid next door named Tucker who has an eye for Elissa and doesn’t like

[22] Missoula Independent • September 27 – October 4, 2012

That Ryan is harboring a secret in the basement shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. I’ll spare you any spoilers, except to say that what happens in the end is tedious, predictable, idiotic and boring. Cars are inexplicably smashed, bones are broken and the villain is revealed. Now our identification shifts to that of a strong, feminine survivor, and we watch Elissa use wit and cunning to get out of a series of life-threatening situations. (“Oh my god, are those tampons in the garbage? But I thought only Ryan lived here”…

“What’s that pounding in the basement…?”)

As far as horror movies go, this one shamelessly borrows from some good ones (The Silence of the Lambs, The Shining and Psycho, to name a few). The filmmakers are banking on the fact that their target audience hasn’t seen the classics and isn’t expecting much.

For a film like this, it’s best to whittle your hopes down to nothing. If you’ve only come to see Lawrence tied to a chair, chest heaving and sweaty, then your needs will be met. Holy Lord, can that girl wear a tank top.

Pickling pointers

[24] Missoula Independent • September 27 – October 4, 2012

Since reading Sandor Katz’s The Art of Fermentation, I’ve changed my orientation as a pickler. I used to be such a committed maker of vinegar pickles that I didn’t even realize it was possible to make them any other way. Now that I’m a fermentation pickler I’m at the bottom of a new learning curve, but my black belt in vinegar pickling still hangs in the closet. And like the driving skills I learned as a teenager in Boston, my vinegar pickle skills remain programmed in my muscle memory, always at the ready. So when I happened upon three pints of red jalapeños—for a buck each!—at the farmers market recently, I couldn’t help but whip up a batch of old school vinegar-pickled jalapeños and carrots.

To be clear, this was backsliding, and not a permanent return to my old ways. I’m sold on exploring the huge world of fermentation, with its new flavors, health advantages and all-around fascinating concept. While vinegar preserves food by killing, fermentation preserves by promoting microbial life. Fermentation creates conditions that favor the growth of healthy germs such as lactobacillus. They make the environment more acidic, which prevents the growth of dangerous microbes. That same acidic environment is what pickles the food the microbes are growing on. In fact, vinegar is a fermentation product.

Back in the day, I’d make more jalapeno and carrots than any other pickle formulation, sometimes upwards of fifty quarts. So bringing home my three pints of peppers was a return to the familiar, like going back to Bean-town and still knowing my way around.

It was with pickled carrots and jalapeños—or simply “pickles,” as I called them—that I first learned the pleasures of munching pickles with many types of rich, fatty foods, from scrambled eggs to eggplant parmesan to steak with mayo.

Like an aboriginal hunter utilizing every bit of his kill, I waste nothing from the pickle jar. Once emptied of its peppers and carrots, the vinegar goes in salad dressing or marinade. The vinegar-soaked mustard seeds at the bottom of the jar grind in a blender, with turmeric and paprika, into mustard.

Any pepper can be pickled, even thin-skinned varieties. But small, fleshy peppers are best, like Tabascostyle, or jalapeños, or sweet peppers. No bells. I follow one of a few themes, depending on what’s available.

Hot and sweet peppers, or “hotties and sweeties,” are probably my second favorite after peppers and carrots.

Peppers can also be pickled with cauliflower, or alone, or with garlic. Or all of the above. When pickled with carrots, many people add onions and oregano too, for Mexican-style zanahorias en escabeche.

Upon purchasing my red jalapeños, I already had everything else I needed on hand. The vinegar, sugar and salt were on the shelf, and the carrots were easily dug from the garden. Rings and lids were right where I’d left them, forgotten but not gone, as were bags of

FLASH IN THE PAN

mustard seeds. The process was as familiar and easy as slipping into bed with an ex-lover.

Here are some tips from my process: I like a 50/50 blend of cider and white wine vinegar, which gives the ideal balance of clarity (from the white wine vinegar) and flavor (from the cider vinegar).

With jalapeños and carrots, I chop everything into space-efficient rounds, about a half-inch thick, which pack together tightly. Rounds are also easier to scoop from the jar with a spoon. You can cut them into any other shape you want, or leave the peppers whole—just remember to slice off the stem end so the brine can enter.

An added grape leaf keeps pickles crispy, thanks to the tannins (which is why other tannin-rich leaves, like cherry, will work as well).

Other factors in crispy pickles are using fresh veggies and not overcooking them. Using unrefined sea salt is also said to help.

Some people add garlic. I don’t think it makes the pickles any better. Others do.

I use a mix of yellow and brown mustard seeds.

The mix probably doesn’t affect the flavor, but looks pretty.

I prefer wide-mouth jars because they’re easier to pack.

The directions that follow employ canning terms and assume basic knowledge of the subject. If you’re unfamiliar with canning, or with any of this language, read the directions that come with the Mason jar lids, or any canning book.

Pickled pepper recipe Sterilize jars. Cut vegetables.

Add a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon or two of mustard seeds to the bottom of each empty jar.

Pack peppers and veggies into jars as tightly as possible, leaving a one-inch headspace. Add any extras like grape leaf, garlic, onions and oregano along with the veggies.

When the jars are packed, heat your brine. The more space-efficiently you’ve packed the jars, the less brine you will need. I can eyeball a group of packed jars and heat up the right amount of brine, but it never hurts to err on the side of extra brine, which can be saved for later. Generally speaking, you need between a half and three-quarters of a jar of brine per packed jar of pickles.

The brine consists of equal parts vinegar and water. As it heats, add sugar to taste, a little at a time until it softens the edge of the vinegar but doesn’t make it taste sweet.

When the brine boils, turn off the heat and pour it into the jars, covering the veggies by half an inch, which should leave another half-inch of headspace. Wipe any stray mustard seeds from the rims. Process in a water bath for five to 10 minutes, or simply hot pack it.

Atmosphere: Unlike the bulk of Missoula’s downtown bars, there’s a distinct European vibe at Caffè Dolce. Busy streets, a bustling patio, more gelato than you can shake a spoon at—all hallmarks of a pleasant lunch hour escape. And with the restaurant’s primo selection of beer and wine, you can get your drink on a few hours ahead of the 5 p.m. Friday buzzer. The only question you have to ask yourself, or maybe the waitstaff, is which wine will best pair with your grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

What you’re drinking: On a recent Friday, Caffè Dolce’s Madison Unsworth recommends a riesling, specifically the Bollenberg 2010 from the Dirler-Cade winery in the Alsace region of France. It’s not as sweet as your average riesling; the wine list describes it as a “bouquet of honey and honeysuckle, flavors of pear, apple, lime, pineapple and baking spice.” There’s a “zippy freshness” to this $11-a-glass suggestion that makes it a great

What else you can get: Caffè Dolce has a regularly rotating selection of wines from across the globe—reds from Spain, whites from Italy, the odd rosé from France. If your palate is craving a brewski, the restaurant offers a number of regional beers on tap including selections from Big Sky, Great Northern and New Belgium. For the time being, you can snag a pint of New Belgium’s cocoa molé ale, spiced with chili and cinnamon.

Where to find it: Caffè Dolce’s a hop and a skip from the Hip Strip at 500 Brooks Street.

genie in a bottle The tales from 1001 Arabian Nights are old as Lake Missoula. And the origins? Well, you can argue they’re Persian, Indian or Arabic, but no one can deny their influence on North American culture. Disney’s 1992 animated musical, Aladdin, starring the voice of Robin Williams as the Genie still resonates— mostly due to its heavy play in homes from 3:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. every day for at least 10 years. The UM School of Theatre and Dance takes on Mary Zimmerman’s version of the tales, The Arabian Nights, in the ucpoming weeks.

Zimmerman originally produced Nights in 1992. Not to get too political here, but that was less than one year removed from the first Persian Gulf War, and Arabian things of any kind weren’t exactly popular amongst the American public, yet both Disney’s film and Zimmerman’s work were successful. Undoubtedly, this remarks on the universal power behind the 1001 stories. UM’s version debuts soon after the Arab Spring uprising, not to mention the current unrest sparked by the Innocence of Muslims trailer in which the prophet Mohammed is negatively portrayed. With all the unrest in the Middle East and in our own society, a new production of The Arabian Nights is perfectly poised to remind us of shared experience. The tales within

the larger tale of Arabian Nights serve as entertaining diversions The larger story of Arabian Nights is about the new wife, Scheherazade, who avoids being killed by her husband, King Shahryar, by narrating the 1001 tales and keeping him so intrigued he puts off killing her. Dialogue between kings and ladies is always in order. Maybe storytelling keeps us from killing each other. At any rate, UM’s production allows us to relearn and relish a thousand years worth of lessons.

MOUNTAIN HIGH Riders rejoice! The ski and snowboard film season is upon us. That also means that many of us will begin to cast our gaze Snowbowl’s way each morning to look for the first round of freshies (that is, if the smoke ever clears). Bozeman’s own Toy Soldier Productions brings us one of the first big screen films of the season, Act Natural, while Lake Tahoe’s 4FRNT productions brings us Dang! Judging from the online trailer, Dang! purely focuses on skiers, but anyone can appreciate some good jibbin’, right? This flick has some rocky cliff face riding as well park jams galore. Natural features skiers and boarders. Much of the footage looks to take place in Montana. One

shot in the film is an instant classic, even though it is merely three seconds long. In the dark, while two riders swing back and forth on a well-lit swing set, a skier pops up off a small kicker, lands atop the swings, deftly slides from one end to the other, lands on the ground and skis away backwards, a vision of beauty, capturing the childlike joy of winter.

Quagmire is one of the English language’s great ideophones, particularly in reference to war.

A quagmire can mean a bad situation or bog, or it can simultaneously mean both of those things.

Once again, war comes to mind. Examples of military quagmires include the USSR’s nine-year war with the Afghan Mujahideen, the Iraq-Iran War, the Vietnam War and, of course, our country's current situation in Afghanistan.

It’s one thing to call something a quagmire, it’s another to be living in one, day after day. Former Army Captain Paul K. Chappell has lived in one, as a soldier in Iraq. Chappell is a smart guy.

Smart enough to leave the military behind in favor of becoming a peace activist. His book, Peaceful Revolution, illustrates how the “warrior philosopher” can speak to the general public with authority, with compassion for human life and with a keen eye toward peaceful existence. Because Chappell is a West Point graduate, his techniques for a successful peace movement may sound militaristic to some. He asks people who attend his seminars to “think strategically and tactically” and to “build discipline.” Not to be too simplistic, but it takes one to know one. In order to defeat the war

powers that be, perhaps it is necessary to understand how they work and use some of their own methods against them, while at the same time inspiring your own side by resolving conflict with soldierly discipline.

—Jason McMackin Paul Chappell’s lecture, Why Peace is Possible in a Post-9/11 World, is on Fri., Sept. 28, at 7:30 PM in UM’s North Underground Lecture Hall. Free. Chappell presents a day-long workshop, Peaceful Revolution: How We Can Create the Future Needed for Humanity’s Survival, on Sat., Sept. 29, from 8:30–4:30 PM, at the Urey Underground Lecture Hall. $60/$50 for JRPC members.

COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD

ANNOUNCEMENTS

ALIVE AND WELDED What is an appropriate amount of togetherness time for a couple? My 9year-old son spends half the week with me, plus every other weekend. My girlfriend of a year wasn’t happy with only the other half of my time, so she started joining me and my son. She and I are now together 5 1/2 days a week (3 1/2 of which are also with my son). I’m never alone; I have no time to go grocery shopping, etc.; and no one’s happy. My son prefers being alone with me; she enjoys him but feels she’s sacrificing our time together. On Saturday, I had an important business meeting at 10 a.m. and a 2 p.m. coffee with a visiting guy friend. I had paperwork to do in between, meaning I’d be away from her from 9 to 5. She was really upset, acting almost betrayed, and wanted me to reschedule everything for my Saturday with my son. I said no. She then said she’d come for coffee before my meeting, lunch afterward, and join me and my friend. I’m normally nonconfrontational, but I again said no. She complained all weekend. Now I’m afraid to even schedule a haircut on Saturday, the only time I can go.

—Overwhelmed Your girlfriend makes intestinal parasites seem like bong-hitting slackers. It sounds so nice when a woman tells you she always wants to be by your side— until you realize that she means like your ear or your right arm. (At a carnival, it must be a tough fit in the Porta-Potty.)

Contrary to what you’ve been led to believe, your needing a haircut or wanting to spend time with your son or a guy friend without female supervision isn’t a sign that you’re a failure as a man and a boyfriend. And beyond needing to be off-leash long enough to hit the grocery store, a man needs time to sit on the pot like “The Thinker” or grunt and drool a little in front of the TV. Don’t mistake this woman for someone who loves you just because she’s in a relationship with you, and love is usually considered the point of that sort of thing.

A woman who loved you would want you to be happy and comfortable and would respect that you’re trying to be a good dad, even if it meant seeing you less. If that didn’t work for her, the loving approach would be ending it with you, not guilting you into saying, “Sorry, son...you’ll have to throw the ball across

the yard and go get it yourself. Daddy’s girlfriend hasn’t seen him in almost 45 minutes.”

Did you, by some chance, forget your testicles on a picnic table in the summer of 2011? There’s something very wrong with your girlfriend (probably that she never fixed the Big Empty within). She might’ve been compelled to get cracking on the repair job had you stood up to her from the start. But, by wimping out, you enabled her, basically giving her the go-ahead to colonize every moment of your time and giving her a year to get used to it.

At this point, doing what you obviously need to—getting time to yourself and quality time alone with your son—should go over like ripping a Band-Aid off a burn victim. But, if you want things to change, you have no other choice than to lay down limits and stay firm on them. It’s possible you’ll lose her, but that surely beats slapping a police officer and tripping a jail guard just to get a few days of alone time in a cramped, windowless cell.

HE LEICAS THE LAST LADY Why would my hubby keep pictures of his ex-fiancee? I found the photos in a box he told me to go into to get a document we needed. He doesn’t know, and I don’t want to bring it up.

—Disturbed He married you, and probably not just because you were both in Vegas and he had a Groupon for the Elvis wedding chapel. Also, these photos of his ex were in a box, not framed in hazy hearts and bouncing around as his screensaver.

They’re part of his personal history—which isn’t to say he’s looking to have history repeat itself. Chances are, he has photos of every other ex-girlfriend plus some shots of himself with disastrously groovy hair. Assuming you married him in part because you find him trustworthy, trust that he’d tell you if he had the retroactive hots for his ex.

Try to divert your focus to a less emotionally fraught mystery, like why he has three sets of toenail clippers. (You never know when a man has a secret third foot stashed away in a safe house somewhere.)

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

By Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19): Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the curious message I derived from the current astrological configurations: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those rare times when a wall may actually help bring people together.

How? Why? The omens donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reveal that specific information. They only tell me that what seems like a barrier might end up serving as a connector. An influence that in other situations would tend to cause separation will in this case be likely to promote unity. Capitalize on this anomaly, Aries!

BODY, MIND & SPIRIT Hypnosis & Imagery

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance that your rhythm in the coming days will resemble a gentle, continuous orgasm. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be stupendously ecstatic, mind you. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not predicting massive eruptions of honeyed bliss that keep blowing your mind. Rather, the experience will be more like a persistent flow of warm contentment. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be constantly tuning in to a secret sweetness that thrills you subliminally. Again and again you will slip into a delicious feeling that everything is unfolding exactly as it should be.

Warning! There are two factors that could possibly undermine this blessing: 1. if you scare it away with blasts of cynicism; 2. if you get greedy and try to force it to become bigger and stronger. So please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do those things!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In my first dream last night, I gave you a holy book that you left out in the rain. In my second dream, I cooked you some chicken soup that you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat. My third dream was equally disturbing. I assigned you some homework that would have helped you discover important clues about tending to your emotional health. Alas, you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do the homework. In the morning, I woke up from my dreams feeling exasperated and worried. But later I began to theorize that maybe they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prophecies, but rather helpful warnings. Now that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard them, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping you will become alert to the gifts youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been ignoring and take advantage of the healing opportunities youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been neglecting.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Philosopher Jonathan Zap (zaporacle.com) provides the seed for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meditation: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conscious reflection on the past can deepen the soul and provide revelations of great value for the present and future. On the other hand, returning to the past obsessively out of emotional addiction can be a massive draining of vitality needed for full engagement with the present.â&#x20AC;? So which will it be, Cancerian? One way or another, you are likely to be pulled back toward the old days and the old ways. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll prefer it if you re-examine your history and extract useful lessons from the past instead of wallowing in dark nostalgia and getting lost in fruitless longing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Picture a TV satellite dish on the roof of a peasantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shack in rural Honduras. Imagine a gripping rendition of Beethovenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moonlight Sonata played on the mandolin. Visualize the Dalai Lama quoting Chris Rock a bit out of context but with humorous and dramatic effect. Got all that? Next, imagine that these three scenes are metaphors for your metaphysical assignment in the coming week. Need another hint? OK. Think about how you can make sure that nothing gets lost in the dicey translations youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be responsible for making.

Family & Friends: Tues. 6:30 p.m.,Thurs. 10:00 a.m.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here are some ways to get more respect: 1. Do your best in every single thing you doâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communicating precisely or upholding the highest possible standards at your job or taking excellent care of yourself. 2. Maintain impeccable levels of integrity in everything you doâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being scrupulously honest or thoroughly fair-minded or fiercely kind. 3.

On the other hand, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try so compulsively hard to do your best and cultivate integrity that you get selfconscious and obstruct the flow of your natural intelligence. 4. Make it your goal that no later than four years from now you will be doing what you love to do at least 51 percent of the time. 5. Give other people as much respect as you sincerely believe they deserve. 6. Give yourself more respect.

d

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The German poet and philosopher Friedrich von Schiller liked to have rotting apples in his desk drawer as he worked; the scent inspired him. Agatha Christie testified that many of her best ideas came to her while she was washing dishes. As for Beethoven, he sometimes stimulated his creativity by pouring cold water over his head. What about you, Libra? Are there odd inclinations and idiosyncratic behaviors that in the past have roused your original thinking? I encourage you to try them all this week, and then see if you can dream up at least two new ones. You have officially entered the brainstorming season.

e

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expensive for the U.S. to hold prisoners at its Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba: $800,000 per year for each detainee. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30 times more than it costs to incarcerate a convict on the American mainland. According to the Miami Herald, Guantanamo is the most expensive prison on the planet. How much do you spend on locking stuff up, Scorpio? What does it cost, not just financially but emotionally and spiritually, for you to keep your secrets hidden and your fears tamped down and your unruly passions bottled up and your naughty urges suppressed? The coming weeks would be a good time to make sure the price you pay for all that is reasonableâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not even close to being like Guantanamo.

f

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): What time is it, boys and girls? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Floods of Fantastic Gratitude Week: a perfect opportunity to express your passionate appreciation for everything youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been given. So get out there and tell people how much youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve benefited from what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done for you. For best results, be playful and have fun as you express your thanks. By the way, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a fringe benefit to this outpouring: By celebrating the blessings you already enjoy, you will generate future blessings.

g

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Telling the whole deep truth and nothing but the whole deep truth isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily a recipe for being popular. It may on occasion provoke chaos and be disruptive. In an institutional setting, displays of candor may even diminish your clout and undermine your ambitions. But now take everything I just said and disregard it for a while. This is one of those rare times when being profoundly authentic will work to your supreme advantage.

h

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Show me the moneyâ&#x20AC;? is a meme that first appeared in the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire. It has been uttered approximately a hundred trillion times since then. Have you ever said it in earnest? If so, you were probably demanding to get what you had been promised. You were telling people you wanted to see tangible proof that they valued your efforts. In light of your current astrological omens, I propose that you use a variation on this theme. What you need right now is less materialistic and more marvelous. Try making this your mantra: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Show me the magic.â&#x20AC;?

i

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): My acquaintance Jacob fell for a woman who also professed her ardor for him. But in the midst of their courtship, as the mystery was still ripening, she suddenly left the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to go to Indonesia,â&#x20AC;? she texted him one night, and she was gone the next day. Jacob was confused, forlorn, dazed. He barely ate for days. On the sixth day, a FedEx package arrived from her. It contained a green silk scarf and a note: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wore this as I walked to the top of the volcano and said a five-hour prayer to elevate our love.â&#x20AC;? Jacob wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure how to interpret it, although it seemed to be a good omen. What happened next? I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard yet. I predict that you will soon receive a sign that has resemblances to this one. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jump to conclusions about what it means, but assume the best.
