STREET TALK
by Susan Elizabeth Shepard
Steve Daines and Greg Gianforte were in Missoula for the High Tech Jobs Summit on Monday.
What jobs do you think we need more of? Who’s your least-favorite tech mogul?
Kevin Joyce: I don’t think we should just be, “any jobs.” I think Missoula has a certain culture and special thing about it. Maybe more of what we already have? Maybe here’s the point: I live in Las Vegas, I moved there for a job. Not a Prime situation: [Jeff] Bezos. Bezos is kind of this libertarian jerk.
Charlie Katerba: Montana in general just needs more STEM jobs. There are lots of college students that are getting STEM degrees at MSU and the University of Montana, and they’re unable to stay in Montana. But don’t you wish he’d kept his old job: [Greg] Gianforte.
Alexis Billings: I think there needs to be more support for science and science outreach. I know our country doesn’t support that right now, but Missoula is a special place, and maybe Missoula can support that. You wouldn’t want to get in the backseat of a cab with him: I don’t like the Uber guy [recently ousted CEO Travis Kalanick]. That sounds real sketch.
Fair turnabout? I don’t agree with private travel being used (“Expense-ive error: Would Ryan Zinke make the same mistake twice?,” Oct. 5), but that being said, why didn’t the liberals cry foul when the Democrats were doing it in excess under Obama time and time again? Examples: Nancy Pelosi spending hundreds of thousands on private air travel instead of commercial, or Michelle Obama and her girls costing the taxpayers tens of millions for their private vacations. I realize Michelle couldn’t travel commercial, but her excess in expensive vacations paid for by taxpayers was mind blowing. [This is] more one-sided reporting and outrage. Jay Banks missoulanews.com
It’s up in the air The first paragraph gives a major clue as to the motives at work here: Taxpayers footed the bill for Zinke to fly on a private jet co-owned, through a holding company, by Jay Nielson, who is an executive vice-president of the oil and gas exploration firm Nielson & Associates. Follow the money. Kesa Hopkins facebook.com/missoulaindependent
Shady grove Why shouldn’t he do that? He is allowed to get away with it and only rise higher in politics. Seems to fit in the current presidential administration well. All of them seem shady. JoAnn Collins facebook.com/missoulaindependent
Specialty studies Kim Trueman: I think we need more industrial jobs, as long as they’re communityconscious with the environment. We need better-paying career jobs, not just general labor, service industry jobs. BNSF is a sponsor, so that counts: I don’t deal with tech very much. I don’t like monopoly companies like the railroads, that are necessary, but they have such control.
Cheyann Trueman: I like Montana the way it is. You have your outdoorsy jobs along with your business. I like it the way it is. Everything I’ve ever been interested in, there’s been a job in. Disrupt thrift: The guy who owns Goodwill. He doesn’t buy any of the things he sells, and all his employees work for minimum wage.
Asked Saturday at the Clark Fork Market

One of the problems in Montana is that it has more institutions of higher learning than the state’s population can support (“UM releases fall enrollment numbers showing another overall drop,” Sept. 27). Drawing students from out of state is a solution, but the question is, how does a degree from UM offer an edge in the job market after graduation? What special expertise can one come away with that sets this institution apart from other, more progressive [institutions]? Could be specialization in studies that support natural resources: forestry, wildlife protections, clean water, maintenance of the national parks like Yellowstone and Glacier.

future of our city, but he’s not opposed to working with others that have different opinions. He strives for consensus when possible, but he’s also not afraid to move forward and address the real problems facing our community. John showed real courage and skill in negotiating the successful purchase of our local water supply, putting our most precious resource back in the hands of our citizens, instead of a private company. Prior to his actions, Missoula was the only city in the entire state that did not own its water. John showed real leadership in making the investments in our infrastructure. Sure, it’s a pain driving downtown right now, but that inconvenience is temporary, and the growth and benefit to the city will be long-term. John always listens carefully and respectfully to members of the public, and I have never seen him cut a person off who is giving public comment. Even when the comment in question is offensive in nature or just factually wrong, he always lets people speak their mind. Engen’s style of leadership is rare in our current political climate, when liberals and conservatives increasingly see each other as combatants, and the middle ground is constantly shrinking. I don’t always agree with him on every policy issue, but Engen is exactly the kind of leader that we need and deserve, and he deserves our vote in November. Denver Henderson Missoula
growth and benefit
Why McQuillan?
House attached a pro-waste amendment onto a must-pass bill. Our congressmen are currently attempting to skirt the rules that would require the oil and gas industry to take responsibility for what they owe the American people. The rule they are trying to cheat is called the BLM Methane and Waste Prevention rule. The Methane and Waste Prevention rule finalized last November required energy companies to capture methane from flaring, venting and gas leaks when they drill on public lands. Right now, the industry wastes an estimated $300 million worth of taxpayer-owned natural gas per year. By limiting waste, the BLM rule boosts revenue for the American

people. That revenue is money much needed by our local economies. The waste prevention rule also protects our health. Methane pollution is a direct health threat. Many of the co-pollutants that leak alongside methane have been shown to cause cancer. We need common sense clean-air rules and common sense resource use. Tell our Montana representatives that cheating this rule is not in the interest of their constituents. It is only in the interest of the oil and gas industry. Cindy Webber Big Timber

These are the reasons Brendan McQuillan needs to be our new Municipal Court Judge: The incumbent, Kathleen Jenks is keeping people in jail for being poor, addicts, or because of mental health issues. She has created a court that sets up poor people to fail. Clients have to show up too many times before a case is resolved. This makes it nearly impossible for someone with a job to have a jury trial. Jenks issues warrants when clients miss a court appearance because they are incarcerated or in treatment. This results in their license being suspended. She sets a bond on nonviolent and traffic misdemeanor offenses to prevent defendants from being transferred on their felony warrants. This results in us paying for people to be held in Missoula rather than letting them go to prison, an out-of-county jail, or treatment. Brendan McQuillan is principled, compassionate and ready to serve. Sue Orr Missoula

Griz scandal
Beau Donaldson’s return Missoula’s hillside peace sign is visible through the windows of Courtroom 1, where Judge Karen Townsend was hearing cases on Tuesday morning. It’s a reminder of another iconic Missoula structure appearing in a legal context: University Hall on the cover of Jon Krakauer’s 2015 book, Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town. This morning, at least three of the featured citizens in that book are back in the courtroom. Former Griz player Beau Donaldson was originally sentenced on rape charges by Townsend, in January 2013, to 30 years in state prison with 20 years suspended. That was just a couple of months before County Attorney Kirsten Pabst, then in private practice as a defense attorney, helped Donaldson’s former teammate, Griz quarterback Jordan Johnson, get a not-guilty verdict in his own rape trial. These events were central to Krakauer’s narrative about the prosecution of sexual assault in Missoula. Donaldson was paroled in the summer of 2016 after being denied the first time he applied, in 2015. In July he was arrested in Bozeman for violating the alcohol-related prohibitions of his parole.
“If I find you have violated [parole], your current suspended sentence could be revoked and you could face all 20 years,” Townsend said to Donaldson, who answered that he understood. Townsend then offered him the option of appearing via teleconference for his future court appearances, since he currently lives in Bozeman. Donaldson will remain free while he awaits further hearings, provided that he complies with the conditions of his parole. Donaldson’s attorney, Peter Lacny, said he’d be filing a motion to dismiss. Lacny and Pabst agreed to potential hearing dates in November. Then Pabst said she’d been having trouble getting the Department of Corrections to release Donaldson’s file to her and asked Townsend to issue a court order directing it to do so, saying that she had “never had this kind of resistance.” Difficulty obtaining documents related to these cases isn’t a new roadblock. Krakauer took his quest for university records relating to Johnson’s disciplinary hearings to the Montana Supreme Court. Currently, his case is in the hands of the Helena courts, which must determine the relevance and privacy concerns of each document individually. Meanwhile, the lead defense attorney from the Johnson case, David Paoli, filed a motion in Lewis and Clark County last month seeking to compel Krakauer to
turn over any records he has relating to Johnson. If Pabst sends Donaldson back to state prison, it will make for an interesting epilogue to the events of Missoula, the book, and events in Missoula, the town. Pabst, who had resigned from the county attorney’s office apparently to join Johnson’s defense, was savaged by Krakauer and attempted to halt the publication of Missoula when she was back in office in 2015. Now Pabst is positioned to enforce one of the rare convictions the county obtained. Before court went into session for the day, Judge Townsend and the court’s all-female staff were talking about college football. Susan Elizabeth Shepard
Preservation
Spotlight on MCPS Jennifer Anthony uses words like “defeated” and “hopeless” when talking about Missoula’s preservation community. The loss of the Merc was bad enough, she says, then the controversial demolition of the old Willard Alternative High School building came as something of a blindside this summer. Hence Anthony’s posing of a rhetorical question to the city’s Historic Preservation Commission last week: “We could use a win, right?”
Sunday, October 8 The Associated Press reports energy company Denbury Resources applied for federal approval to build a 110-mile pipeline to pump carbon dioxide into an oil reserve in eastern Montana to push more oil out.
Monday, October 9 A pumpkin appears atop the spire of Main Hall on the UM campus. The pumpkin placement is an annual Halloween tradition. Last year a student was arrested for the stunt. This year’s perp goes unapprehended.
Tuesday, October 10 The Flathead County Commission scraps plans to buy 24 acres in Columbia Falls for a new jail site after residents voiced opposition. Kalispell’s extant jail has repeatedly expanded to deal with overcrowding and now holds 164 inmates.
Disappointed individuals could spend their time trying to change the reality that Seth Bodnar will become our 18th president. But such wasteful action will only sink our already waterlogged ship much faster.” – Student regent Chase Greenfield, in an Oct. 10 Missoulian op-ed about the new University of Montana president, whom regents selected earlier this month.

[news] Anthony went before the commission Oct. 5 to present a draft of a letter that the nonprofit Preserve Historic Missoula, where she serves as co-vice president, plans to send to Missoula County Public Schools. The letter includes a plea that someone with historic preservation experience be included in any school board discussions involving the renovation or sale of historic district-owned properties. Of particular concern, Anthony tells the Indy, is the fate of MCPS’s administration building, on Sixth Street near the Hip Strip. With the district moving toward consolidating its offices at the former Missoula College campus, the current facility appears destined for vacancy. Superintendent Mark Thane says any decision on the building’s fate is still a ways off. However, the school board has been directed to review district assets and determine whether they should be retained or sold. Thane adds that several private entities have expressed interest in the administration building. A few have even asked to have architects or engineers take a look at the property, Thane says, which MCPS has allowed them to do. “None of that conversation has happened formally yet,� Thane says, “but I would expect in the coming months that those will be conversations that the [board of] trustees will begin having.� Anthony isn’t the only member of the preservation community making overtures to MCPS. Prior to last week’s HPC meeting, Missoula Historic Preservation Officer Emy Scherrer met with Thane and City Council member Gwen Jones to discuss the district’s historic properties. Part of that conversation centered on the potential to add Hellgate High School to the National Register of Historic Places—a prospect that Thane, in light of ongoing renovations at the school, says is premature. Scherrer says the meeting was intended to be informational, to offer Thane a primer on what the National Register is and to “clear up some of the misconceptions� about historic preservation. It’s information that Thane agrees will be valuable as the district considers its holdings. Scherrer attributes these conversations with MCPS to a growing interest in historic preservation Missoula-wide. She sees a community that’s not hopeless, but rather more aware of preservation issues—a silver lining to the fall of the Merc. “The term ‘historic preservation’ has gotten a bad rap over time with connotations of red tape,�
she says. “But what we in the preservation world are trying to do is similar to wilderness preservation. It’s preserving what makes a certain place unique and special.� Alex Sakariassen
Letter from Bonner
A tale of two sounds Noise continues to be the talk of Bonner, but not all sounds echo equally off the canyon walls. As redevelopment at the defunct lumber mill continues, it’s a seemingly placid bitcoin-mining server farm, more even than a Slayer show, that’s putting a ring in residents’ ears, according to those who attended a recent community meeting. Members of the Bonner-Milltown Community Council debriefed with Logjam Presents owner Nick Checota about the concert promoter’s inaugural season at the new KettleHouse Amphitheater, which concluded in August, before turning to unresolved concerns about sound pollution from the adjacent server farm. Checota’s company built the amphitheater with the neighborhood in mind, sinking the stage into a river-facing slope and installing a series of berms to block sound. Bonner residents told Checota at the Oct. 9 meeting that the design works—perhaps too well. “I even tried to listen for Pat Benatar, too,� said Laurie Ginn, who lives behind nearby Bonner School. “Kudos to you for doing a good job for our neighborhood.� Checota said his staff took sound readings in the surrounding area during shows. While his venue caps show volume at just over 100 decibels, Checota says his team recorded volumes of 60 decibels at the venue entrance and only 10 decibels at the closest neighborhood street. In the other direction, though, a resident who told Checota she lives up the Blackfoot said the shows seemed increasingly loud as the summer progressed, with the final show being the biggest disturbance. Slayer closed out the amphitheater’s season.
BY THE NUMBERS Intersections with Reserve Street ranked in the top-five most dangerous intersections in Montana, according to an analysis released Oct. 3 by the Billings law firm Ragain & Cook. The fifth-most dangerous intersection is also in Missoula.

“If it gives you any solace, I don’t have any metal show offers in so far this year,� Checota said, offering to look into the issue. At the end of his presentation, Checota told the group that the mill site owners, Steve Nelson and Mike Boehme, had sought his advice on how to reduce noise emanating from the bitcoin mine run by tenant Project Spokane. “It’s doable for sure,� Checota said. “Sound material can deaden that whole building. It’s expensive, but it’s doable.� But neither owners or tenants have yet taken action to address the noise, which County Commissioner Jean Curtiss compared in June to a jet engine winding up for take-off, according to the Missoulian. Mike Heisey, who does maintenance for the mill owners, attended the meeting to field questions. “I called Project Spokane. I said, can you come with me to help with this discussion? They said, ‘we’re busy.’� Heisey said the sound that suffuses the canyon comes from air chop caused by fans installed at the top of the warehouse to dissipate heat generated by computer servers. He said the company consulted a sound engineer who suggested reconfiguring in a way that would reduce air chop by 15 percent, but that the plan is still in development. “It seems to be a tough deal,� Heisey said. “Steve [Nelson] is working on it. He’s as concerned as anyone. He gets some feedback himself, so he’s definitely motivated. He wants the best for the community as well.� Derek Brouwer
ETC. Secretary of State Corey Stapleton wants $267.16. Not from us, the taxpayers, but from a Helena-based liberal blogger and teacher. That’s the going rate for government records these days. Specifically, for receipts documenting various purchases by Stapleton’s office, including tires, Amazon video rentals and a New Zealand hotel stay. Don Pogreba, the aforementioned teacher and founder of the Montana Post (formerly Intelligent Discontent) sent a formal request for the receipts last week after perusing the state’s online credit card payment database. The response from Stapleton’s chief of staff thanked Pogreba for his interest, then quoted the price. Pogreba took his cause to the crowdsourcing site GoFundMe and raised $1,275 in less than a week. Fighting for public records isn’t exactly new. Newspapers do it all the time, and it’s not always easy. But we’ve got publishers and attorneys and fancy business cards on our side. The process can be significantly more daunting for Citizen Jane or Joe. Some academics have sought support from private institutions. Alaska-based researcher Tara Burns turned to Patreon to fund her requests for records on sex trafficking and prostitution arrests. Mere money wasn’t enough for the state of Tennessee, which declines to fulfill requests from non-residents regardless of whether they’re journalists, researchers or public citizens. Montana, at least, will fulfill records requests from out of state, but there is nothing in state law that requires a response, rejection or even acknowledgement of a request within any particular time frame. Improvement in open records access will require change at the legislative level. Our neighbor, Idaho, doesn’t charge requesters for the first two hours of research or the first 100 pages of records, for example, thanks to legislation passed in 2011. The Montana Legislature has avoided the issue of records costs since 2009, when then-Rep. Dan Villa (now the state budget director) proposed a bill expanding civil penalties for violations of a citizen’s right to know—but only after a court rules on the matter. Until Montana decides to address the cost of transparency, those without flush newspaper budgets (ahem...) will continue to face financial hurdles. So we salute Pogreba for joining the Freedom of Information crusade, and we’re heartened to see the support that his GoFundMe campaign has generated. Because until Freedom of Information is, well, free, it’s a cost we should all be willing to bear.

Scale Back Your Taxes, Not Your Expectations. Missoula’s average growth rate is 1,000 new people a year. Taxes have risen 2.74% to 7.57% since 2006. In response to the idea of lowering taxes, Engen told the Missoula Current in September of 2017, “Striking that balance is really the challenge of this office. It would be irresponsible for me to put out a budget that limits services or reduces services.” The recently passed budget for next year has no maintenance funding for parks, trails, the new pedestrian bridge, or the Jail Diversion Master Plan. Seems like a reduction of services.
Bozeman’s average taxes are 12% lower than Missoula’s this year. Lisa Triepke wants to get back to providing Missoula with basic services and affordable taxes.

Bump this Evil? Just depends on how you use it. by Dan Brooks
Last weekend, a 64-year-old millionaire named Stephen Paddock opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers from the window of his Las Vegas hotel room, killing at least 58 people before shooting himself. It was the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman in United States history. Among the 23 guns found in Paddock’s room were rifles fitted with bump stocks—aftermarket devices that use the recoil from one shot to trigger the next, effectively converting a semiautomatic rifle to an automatic. While automatic weapons are illegal in the United States, bump stocks are not. After Paddock’s mass murder, even the NRA was willing to concede that bump stocks should be regulated. Montana’s congressional representatives, on the other hand, were not. Sen. Jon Tester came the closest, telling the Billings Gazette that the senate should hold hearings on bump stocks and their possible uses beyond “making it easier to kill people.” Sen. Steve Daines also supported the idea of hearings, but he emphasized that no law could have prevented last weekend’s killings. “History shows us that more gun laws do not make our society safer,” Daines said. “The issue is a deranged individual who is going to wreak havoc and unleash the carnage he unleashed most likely regardless of what laws we have in place.” I agree with the senator. No law can restrain individual behavior, which is why the legislative branch should amend the constitution to outlaw flag burning and then disband itself. In the meantime, Rep. Greg Gianforte—who, along with Daines and Tester, enjoys an “A” rating from the NRA—has come out against regulating bump stocks, too, in a statement that coincidentally also used the phrase “deranged individual.” “The perpetrator was an evil, deranged individual who was determined to senselessly attack as large a group as possible,” Gianforte said, “and stricter laws against guns would not have prevented this.”
I am pleased to hear our representatives agree with me on this issue. The problem is not that bump stocks make it possible to shoot many more people in a shorter period of time. The problem is that certain deranged individuals want to use them for that purpose, creating a regulatory nightmare for the rest of us normal folks, who only want to go out to the woods and shoot four- or fivehundred deer.
“I agree with the senator. No law can restrain individual behavior, which is why the legislative branch should amend the constitution to outlaw flag burning and then disband itself.” This news from our congressional delegation couldn’t make me happier, because I am currently looking for investors, attorneys and lawmakers whose PACs accept donations to support my own aftermarket product, the bump chassis. While the technical details are complicated, it’s essentially a kit you can buy that will convert your ordinary, consumer-grade pickup truck to a Bigfootstyle monster truck. Would a bump chassis allow you to drive your truck over a line of other cars, up a flaming ramp and onto a school bus, smashing whatever children have been foolish enough to remain inside? You bet.
But only a deranged individual would use it for that purpose. The bump chassis is designed for responsible truck owners whose driveways have become blocked by old sedans and logs. It’s true that literally every day since I released the prototype, someone with a bump chassis has driven through the front window of a Honda dealership and done donuts on the flattened cars inside. But that’s no reason to make it illegal. History shows us that more monster truck laws do not make our society safer from monster truck-related incidents. Yes, certain deranged individuals will use their bump chassis to smash through the wall of Washington-Grizzly Stadium, drive up the stands into the press box and say “penis” on the radio. That is the nature of evil. It has always been with us, and limiting private ownership of monster trucks will not make it go away. People like that will find a way to drive their trucks on top of other trucks, whether my invention allows anyone with $300 and a Phillips-head screwdriver to have a monster truck or not. Instead of banning a simple tool like the bump chassis—which is no more inherently destructive than any other tool, such as a flame thrower or a bottle of poison—we should look at the root of the problem. What makes people want to drive an 18-foot, nitro-burning monster truck up one side of a pyramid of cars and down onto a mini Eiffel tower made of motorcycles? Is it the fact that anyone can do it just by pressing with his foot? I think not. The answers are more complex than that, having to do with the atomization of our society and the elemental nature of evil, or possibly mental illness, but definitely not any consumer products manufactured and sold by me. The important thing is that we look into it but never, ever do anything. At all. Dan Brooks writes about politics, culture and the delicate balance between preserving human life and owning badass stuff at combatblog.net.

Remembering Ignacio Joe Arpaio’s pardon triggers memories of an immigrant by Jane Koerner
Of all the stories I heard from the undocumented immigrants I interviewed when I was a journalist during Ronald Reagan’s presidency, Ignacio’s haunted me the most. A Catholic nun in southern Colorado’s San Luis Valley arranged the meeting in the cramped dining room of a homeless shelter. Shutting the blinds and switching off the light, she explained the ground rules. “I will translate your questions and his answers. He will face the wall. He can’t bear to be looked in the eye while he tells his story.” I heard a door opening, feet shuffling, and Ignacio appeared. The nun filled in the details each time his barely audible voice died. He had fled his village in the Guatemala highlands with his wife and children. Pedro was the eldest child, a teenager, whose nightmares perpetuated the horror long after their arrival in the United States. Few villages escaped the brutality of the American trained-and-supplied military. The day Ignacio’s village was torched, families were ordered out of their huts at gunpoint and adult males were singled out for immediate execution. When the soldiers swarmed Ignacio’s family compound, they forced Pedro and his siblings to watch as they threw their grandfather over a log and chopped off his hands, feet and head. To silence the dogs, they tossed them a meal of dismembered body parts. “How could anyone possibly believe it?” Ignacio whispered, his head half-buried in his threadbare cotton shirt as the nun translated. Ignacio and his son were caught between the military enforcing the status quo on behalf of owners of cotton fields and coffee plantations and leftist guerillas fighting for livable wages and basic human rights. When he turned 21, Pedro would have to choose sides. Now the survivors had to decide. Stay and die. Or set out after dark for Mexico and the border, risking death by murder or dehydration in Arizona’s Chihuahuan Desert.
Unlike others who attempted the journey, they didn’t lose a single family member. With the help of the Catholic church, Ignacio and Pedro found jobs at Alamosa’s mushroom farm, a sweltering greenhouse with poor ventilation. Their combined wages couldn’t rent them an apartment so they alternated between the homeless shelter and rooms offered by fellow parishioners. I never saw them again after that unforgettable encounter. Thirty years later, a headline announcing President Donald Trump’s pardon of Maricopa
“The survivors had to decide. Stay and die. Or set out after dark for Mexico and the border, risking death by murder or dehydration.” County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona made me want to know: What had happened to them? Were they deported to face almost certain death? I could only hope that their application for political asylum was approved. Arpaio would be re-elected four times despite the civil rights lawsuits, unexplained deaths, bogus criminal charges against public officials who dared to speak out and the spending of $142 million in legal fees and settlements, all paid for by taxpayers. It would take 20 years for voters to cast him out. This summer, a federal judge cited him for contempt of court—a misdemeanor—for defying a court order prohibiting his officers from detaining
undocumented immigrants with no criminal record. Trump’s pardon coincided with Hurricane Harvey, which shrank the front-page column inches available for the story. Many of Arpaio’s other alleged offenses went unmentioned, such as the hundreds of sexual assault and abuse cases that went uninvestigated while sheriff ’s deputies focused on illegal immigration. In traffic stops and raids of Latino neighborhoods, his deputies detained hundreds of suspected illegal immigrants, including law-abiding ones, as well as U.S. citizens and Mexican tourists. Inmates convicted of minor offenses or unable to afford their bail bond wound up in Arpaio’s outdoor Tent City, with its 120-degree-plus temperatures, rotten food, mandatory chain gang duty—and pink underwear as an extra humiliation. County jail inmates fared no better. A paraplegic arrested for possession of a gram of marijuana begged for a catheter so he could urinate, and his jailers strapped him to a restraint chair and broke his neck. Another inmate condemned to the restraint chair was beaten and shocked, then suffocated to death. Who committed the graver offense? A traumatized family who crossed the border illegally, or a sheriff whose racial profiling and mistreatment of inmates and retaliations against so-called political enemies bolstered his claim as America’s toughest sheriff and most unrepentant “birther”? And what do we make of Trump, who tweeted, “I am pleased to inform you that I have just granted a full Pardon to 85-year-old American patriot Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He kept Arizona safe!” Jane Koerner is a contributor to Writers on the Range, the opinion service of High Country News (hcn.org). Her memoir, Off Trail: Finding My Way Home in the Colorado Rockies, will be published by University of Oklahoma Press under her pen name, Jane Parnell, in spring 2018.

MOTHER OF THE YEAR – Ebony Woody, 34, of Columbus, Ohio, was nothing if not thorough on the morning of Sept. 18 when, following an argument with her daughter, she purposely drove her car onto the sidewalk and struck the 17-year-old, who was walking to school, according to Columbus police. After knocking the girl down and running over her leg, Woody stopped and backed up, driving over the leg a second time. QFM96 reported Woody generously gave the girl a ride to her father’s house, where she dropped her off without reporting the incident. Woody later turned herself in at police headquarters and faces charges of felonious assault, aggravated vehicular assault and endangering children. The daughter was treated for two fractures to her left leg. ANIMALS ON THE LAM – Auburn, Massachusetts, police received a number of calls over the weekend of Sept. 15-17 about a wayward goat, but it wasn’t until the wee hours of Monday, Sept. 18, that No. 448 was finally corralled at the La Quinta Inn in Auburn, reported CBS Boston. The “mischievous runaway farm animal” was seen on surveillance video entering the lobby of the hotel and wandering the halls, “presumably to rest a bit,” said police. Peter Blash, No. 448’s owner, said the goat jumped a 5-foot-high fence and “took off like a criminal.” However, Blash said, “I had one that made it all the way to Sturbridge.” – Just north of Benton, Kansas, a rancher posted signs promising a reward to anyone who could help him find his missing longhorn cow, Mercedes. The Wichita Eagle reported the 3-year-old black-and-white bovine went missing on Sept. 11 during Cross Trails, a weekly cowboy church service at Greg Johnson’s Prairie Rose Ranch. Friends, neighbors and family have searched high and low for Mercedes, recognizable by her 5-foot-wide horns, but the only sighting of her has been near the El Dorado, Kansas, Walmart, about 10 miles away. Johnson says this isn’t the first time she’s run off: “She is more of a loner.” QUESTIONABLE JUDGMENT – Coolidge, Arizona, resident Victor Pratt boasts that he’s played with snakes his whole life. So when a rattlesnake slithered by during a family party at a nearby lake on Sept. 7, Pratt grabbed the viper and showed the kids “how to catch it and I was playing with it like little kids do. I wasn’t thinking. I was showing off,” he admitted to FOX 10 News. The rattler apparently didn’t want to play along and bit Pratt on his face and neck. Pratt’s sons quickly drove him to a nearby emergency room, and he was later airlifted to Banner-University Medical Center Phoenix, where Dr. Steven Curry treated him. “There is a 100 percent chance he would have died if he’d not made it to the hospital within minutes,” Curry noted. Pratt remained unconscious for several days. He told reporters he had learned his lesson and would not play with rattlesnakes again.

OOPS! – A family in Coventry, England, were “quite mortified” after calling the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in September to rescue a lizard peeking from underneath a bed in their home. But when officer Vic Hurr arrived at the home, she discovered the “lizard” was not a “lizard at all, it was a pink stripy sock.” The dirty impostor sock, about 7 inches long and 2 inches wide, wasn’t moving, Hurr noted. “I think the family eventually saw the funny side,” an RSPCA spokeswoman told the Independent. “The sock had obviously been there quite a while. It was a typical teenager’s bedroom, I suppose.” – The Caving Club at Indiana University explored Sullivan Cave in southern Indiana on Sept. 17, but when they headed back to campus, they forgot one thing: a 19-year-old freshman physics major who had become separated from the group and was trapped behind a locked gate. When the club president realized two days later that a caver had been left behind, members rushed back to save him. “You could tell they were pretty shaken up,” the caver told the Indiana Daily Student. “They did near kill me.” The student reported he licked moisture off the cave walls during the ordeal and wrote goodbye letters to his family on his iPhone until the battery died. (BONUS: The rescued caver’s name is Lukas Cavar.) THE WEIRD APOCALYPSE – Cable television viewers in Orange County, California, were stunned on the morning of Sept. 21 when an ominous message accompanied by an “Emergency Alert” banner flashed on the screen. At increased volume, a man’s voice boomed: “Realize this, extremely violent times will come,” said viewer Stacy Laflamme of Lake Forest, who was watching HGTV on the Cox Communications cable system. Spectrum customers also received the alert. The warning seemed especially timely given that doomsday writer David Meade had predicted the end of the world “as we know it” to occur two days later. Laflamme told the Orange County Register the message “sounded like a radio broadcast coming through the television.” Dennis Johnson, a spokesman for Spectrum, said: “We have confirmed that we were fed an incorrect audio file,” but neither company could determine where the audio had come from.

isa Triepke is distracted. She won’t mention it until after the end of the interview, but one of her high school-age children totaled his car that morning and he, and she, are understandably shaken (fortunately, he’s otherwise fine). Yet she keeps her appointment, because she said she’d be there. Much of Missoula doesn’t know the woman challenging John Engen as he runs for his fourth term, or why she wants to be mayor, and what she would do once there. Briefly: Triepke, raised mostly in Maryland, and with a communications degree from Ohio’s University of Dayton, moved here in the early 1990s, originally thinking she would study wildlife biology at the university. She instead got a job at the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and embarked on years of work in Missoula’s nonprofits,

She served one year on the board of Missoula County Public Schools before resigning in July 2015, when her impending divorce meant she would be moving out of the district in which she had been elected. In 2013, she ran in the Democratic primary for Missoula County Commissioner, coming in second to Jean Curtiss. For the last seven years, she has also worked at CostCare as the director of marketing and community outreach. For Triepke, following through on commitments is paramount. She’s devoted to structure and process. Doing things right. And while she’s new to

running for city office, her long background of community involvement has informed her ideas about how a governing body should operate. She thought Missoula’s could be doing better. “When John [Engen] came out and said he was going to raise taxes every year and then he said he was mayor for life—I picked up the phone and called a friend that I thought was running, and they couldn’t run because they lived in the county and not the city,” Triepke says. “That conversation led to some other conversations and people came to me and asked if I would consider running based on my past experience.” And while she had been raising her family outside the city limits for years, she says she always felt tied to the city. “I’ve always had a huge passion for how Missoula works behind the scenes and what makes it
tick and what makes it special to all the people that live here,” Triepke says. “I was in Missoula every day that we lived in the county anyway.” The two comments she attributed to Engen, that he would raise taxes yearly and be mayor for life, have their roots in two different interviews from earlier in the year. Triepke says that the taxes part comes from a KGVO appearance, and the “mayor for life” comment from a City Club meeting. The actual quote from the former is: “As long as I am mayor, I can almost guarantee you there will be an annual tax increase,” which Engen has said is simply straight talk about the fact that services have a cost. The latter, which is available on MCAT video, shows Missoulian editor Kathy Best jokingly calling Engen “mayor for life” at a City Club meeting. Engen responded, “With regard to
the ‘mayor for life’ thing, to some of you, I’m sure it feels that way. I hope that it does not.” Regardless of the actual original wording or intent, the comments were interpreted by Triepke as a sign that Engen was too comfortable in his position. Triepke spent some time talking to community members, and what she heard indicated that it was possible to run a successful campaign against Engen. The slogan that’s on her yard signs, “Enough is Enough,” is the one she says resonated the most with potential voters. What have they had enough of? “Obviously taxes. The frustration with the red tape and additional fees that nobody knows where they’re coming from for building and for starting a business. And I would say lack of transparency,” Triepke says. Some of those voters who have had enough attended a September meet-and-greet for Triepke at Westside Lanes, in a private bar room that’s generally used for Shriners meetings and the occasional wake. It was a crowd made up almost exclusively of women. Including Westside Lanes owner Norm Carey, who was upset with city requirements that he says stymied an expansion of his business, and the husband of the manager who showed up with a scene-stealing Saint Bernard puppy, there were four men present. There was a Triepke logo photo backdrop and a podium at the front of the room. A good dozen round tables that seated eight each provided plenty of room for the 25 or so attendees who were welcome to help themselves to hot food from chafing dishes. The podium was never utilized, since Triepke was easily able to give everyone in the room face time. Among the power players present were Denise Moore, who ran for the Montana House in 2006, and who is now volunteering for the Triepke campaign; CostCare co-owner Lesley von Eschen, who said she would miss having Triepke in the office; and Chris Spiker, of Spiker Communications. Chris and her husband, Wes Spiker, were early Triepke supporters, and their business has received half of the funds that Triepke had raised by the end of September. The services purchased with those funds are listed simply as “advertising” in campaign finance reports, and the alleged vagueness of that itemization is among the grounds listed for a campaign finance complaint filed in September by Missoula attorney and state Rep. Ellie Hill Smith. In a Sept. 13 guest column in the Missoulian, Wes Spiker provided a prime example of “enough is enough” messaging, writing “I’m tired of being told that bicyclists have more rights than me on Missoula’s streets. … I’m tired of seeing the transients who come to town year-round for free handouts … I’m tired of being told that my property taxes will go up every year.” He mentions the high cost of air travel to Missoula, residents who question the environmental impacts of rail shipments and university salaries as other things he’s tired of, before endorsing Triepke for mayor. The Missoulian piece did not mention that Spiker was in the employ of the campaign, as reported by the Independent’s Derek Brouwer. The
day after his Missoulian column was published, Spiker sent an email to the Independent’s editor: “Sir, I’m reaching out to you to schedule a meeting with you and the Lisa Tripeke [sic] campaign team on a confidential basis.” The email continued, in part: “... we would like to have the Independent be the surprise media to bring John Engen down by exposing him and his administration for their illegal activities, the way he treats people, his vindictive style of management.” We replied that we would be happy to meet with Triepke’s campaign team and hear what they had to say, but that they would be treated like any other source. Spiker declined. Triepke later said she was unaware of the email, and that Spiker speaks for himself. She repeatedly states that her campaign
in place to make a process easier, and so in my position on the school board, everything wasn’t always transparent. That’s kind of what I’m finding similar here, is it’s a push to follow the policies that are in place and have the balance of being transparent at the same time.” Asked what public works project she would most want to see accomplished in Missoula, she answers with the one she’d like to stop: “It’s basically not doing the streets plan that’s in place,” she says. “I think limiting and taking down the lanes and substituting bike lanes in the double-lane areas that they’re talking about, every one of them, I think it’s a mistake.” Not that she has anything against biking at all. She emphasizes that she thinks Missoula is a great
says. “People are friendly here, and you can tell people are happy and [it’s] a relaxed way of life.” Most Missoulians will agree that they love the city, but not on what the solutions to its problems are. Is there a housing crisis because property taxes are too high and therefore ripple through the housing economy from homeowners and landlords to renters, or because there’s just not enough housing? Should increased traffic be combated by promoting more bus and bicycle usage, or are bicycle lanes eating up too much room on the streets? Why is it so hard to hustle a decent living in the town on just one job? Is it because the town isn’t business-friendly, or because employers aren’t worker-friendly? Triepke’s website bio mentions her own two jobs. When she announced her campaign, she was

focuses on the issues, not on personal attacks. Asked to clarify his role, Spiker re-affirmed that he is “not the campaign manager” and that his email “was not sent by the candidate.” Triepke says it’s time to step back and re-evaluate how Missoula is handling its problems, and it’s not hard to get the sense that she literally means to begin with “how,” as in procedure, not tactics or desired outcome. Is it done in a City Council meeting? With input from public outreach? Behind closed doors? This becomes most apparent when she references the workings of the school board. Asked about her biggest policy passion in that role, she replied, “The part that I enjoyed the most was the policy and procedures of getting through the process. It was a fascinating experience, because there’s a system set
bicycling town. Triepke is a lover of all sorts of active recreation and says she loves the outdoors. She looks the part— clear-eyed and fresh faced with unfussy but neat hair and little if any makeup. Triepke says that she gets a peaceful calm from being near the water, by herself or with her children or her dog, Kinzie, a mutt adopted from the Humane Society. It’s easy to see why she took to Missoula County, and she’s at her most effortlessly eloquent talking about why its residents feel so passionately about its well being. “I think the majority of the people live here for their connection to the land and the people, and I think it doesn’t vary much from that. I think if you ask anybody, they love what the outdoors has to offer, the uniqueness of Missoula and the people here,” she

As her campaign kicked in, itself almost a full-time job, she dropped the waitressing shifts. Her website also mentions a time during her divorce when she applied for SNAP and energy assistance benefits. It’s safe to say Triepke had a pretty comfortable life in Target Range before her divorce, and that the change in circumstances was significant. You said you’d applied for public assistance during [the divorce] as well. Did that connect you with a different part of the city at all? I don’t understand your question.
missoulanews.com • October 12–October 19, 2017 [15]
Did that connect you with a part of Missoula that you hadn’t seen before, going into a public assistance office? No, I applied for public assistance before the divorce was settled, and so for me, it was the unknown of rising energy costs, etcetera, and so I applied for energy assistance and it was just something that I knew I needed to—I don’t know. I don’t really understand your question. Did the process give you some insight into what people go through in Missoula in that situation? In the long term? Sure, they’re very, so—why long term? People who are dealing with this, who don’t know if they’re going to have a professional job—obviously you have a professional background and education, and there’s a lot of people who don’t necessarily have a degree or a background in nonprofit work, people who’ve been working service industry—
“The part that I enjoyed the most was the policy and procedures of getting through the process.” essarily public services, but what Missoula as a city can do to help people— So I think it’s interesting, because I have a friend that just yesterday we went to, there was a family that somebody ran into at Albertson’s and they had a 3-month-old baby and they were actually not having a place to stay, their car broke down, and, I know this doesn’t solve it citywide, but there was a group of people that got together and through a united effort got the people a car,
Carter wrote to the Independent to register his belief that Triepke shouldn’t be mayor, based on his experience working with her for several years as a fellow board member. Carter, like Triepke, was a full-time parent who took on a lot of volunteer commitments, including assisting the wrestling team at Target Range. He says that during one parent meeting to introduce a new wrestling coach, Triepke accused him of trying to take on the coaching job himself (it would have been a conflict of interest for Carter, as a board member, to also be in the school’s employ). He remembers that she said, “You’re a fucking liar,”
I’m still not sure what your question’s asking me. Did that give you empathy for people like that?
Asked about working with Triepke, Harp replied that she’d need to get back to the Independent. A few days later she said, “Lisa contributes in a meaningful way at our board meetings with probing questions. She has a great heart and supports ice expansion.” Harp has endorsed Engen. One member of City Council has endorsed Triepke, Ward 5 councilmember Julie Armstrong, who counts herself among Missoula’s small business owners. Triepke says the city does too much to stymie business development. “I just think we need to make Missoula more business-friendly. I think we put roadblocks in place,” she says. While the city is coming off of two years of record-setting issuance of construction permits— indicating that someone is managing to navigate the paperwork—Triepke says there could be so much more development and new business coming to Missoula if the city was less fettered by regulations. “So many people I talk to [about] building or businesses [who] go through the permitting process [say] it’s not streamlined and it’s not consistent.” Asked if she’s seen any housing development approaches in other cities that she’d like to try here, Triepke brings up our neighbor to the southeast. “I have looked a lot at Bozeman, at what they’re doing. A lot of the things they’re doing, not only in the housing but also in new businesses, they’re doing some things that work, so I would like to explore more deeply into that.”
Oh sure, absolutely. What are some of the things that Bozeman has done?
So what would you want to do to help those people out? [pause] Economically disadvantaged people? I’m confused by your line of questioning, is what I’ll say.

What would you want to do as mayor to help economically disadvantaged citizens of Missoula?

Well, I think those services are available for people to help them get through, and in my mind it’s short term to help them get over the hurdles that they’re facing.
Triepke’s tenacity and eye for fiscal responsibility are mentioned repeatedly by her campaign supporters and parents who knew her at Target Range. “I think she’s a bulldog and will get the job done,” says Kathy Armstrong, a fellow Target Range parent who has known Triepke for more than a decade. “Being a mom herself, I think she understands cost—the cost to play this game of lacrosse is four- or five-hundred dollars. You’re just trying to take care of your kids, and that’s not a cheap sport.” Another parent and family friend, Kathleen Harvey, echoed those sentiments. “She never, from what I saw on the school board, she never stopped until it was the right way, the way she thought it would be right,” Harvey says. But not everyone from the school was so positive. Former Target Range board member Robert
As mayor, is there anything that you know that you would want to do to help them get over those hurdles? Like you say in your campaign materials, that families facing homelessness, you want to help. What would you want to do? So that’s why I was confused, because that’s kind of two separate issues. So are you asking about public services or homelessness? I’m asking you—well, we can divide them up into separate issues. So not nec-

and left the meeting. One former Target Range staff member reached out at Carter’s behest to corroborate his account. Triepke responded, “That never happened, I never used profanity in a meeting and I never left a meeting early.” Carter also says that he repeatedly tried to open a personal dialogue with Triepke when there was conflict on the school board, only to hear nothing back. “I’d say that he tried to do business behind the scenes, and I didn’t want to do that,” Triepke says. Heather Harp, who is running for City Council in Ward 3, is president of the Missoula Area Youth Hockey Association board, on which Triepke serves. “I would imagine we’re probably on different sides of this race, but what I admire about Heather is she and I have done some great work together,” Triepke says when asked about her fellow candidate. “I love the way she thinks about things and she’s a true leader, so I totally am glad she is running.”
I think they’ve been able to work with the university to keep their students in town. And keep their students in higher-paying jobs. I think they’ve approached their economic industry with keeping jobs in town … and so those higher-paying jobs are coming to Bozeman and so people stay there. I think the disparity between home prices and wages is less than in Missoula. Our [home] prices have gone up $50,000 to $60,000 in the last five to six years, and wages haven’t kept up pace with that. When you go into Bozeman you can feel the relationship between the city and the university. And here, we have a lot of people that love the Griz, we have a lot of people that love the university and wear it with pride, but I don’t—and people I’ve talked to don’t—feel the connection necessarily between the city and the university. Do you think that’s a recent development? From my own perspective, I think that people don’t really, sometimes don’t realize the disconnect’s there till they see what Bozeman has actually accomplished. And don’t get me wrong, there’s a huge pride for the university within Missoula, I just don’t
The crowd was young in spirit if not in age. Moderator Nancy Leifer wore a purple turtleneck to match the purple streaks in her gray hair and carried a red tote bag with a cat print. It was clear that Triepke doesn’t like to sit still. She fidgeted at the table, literally tapping her fingers during one of Engen’s answers. The seating arrangement was awkward—Engen and Triepke were directly next to each other and shared a single microphone with the moderator, passing it back and forth. During one handoff, she accidentally turned the mic off, muting Engen, who said, “I’d turn me off, too.” It got a genuine laugh. But a policy question just before had stumped her. It was a question about what major infrastructure project she’d most like to see happen in Missoula. Her answer didn’t mention a project, but she did say, “We need to prioritize projects.” In response to a question about which city-county partnerships are successful and which ones should be considered in the future, she again didn’t mention a specific partnership, but repeated her belief that they should be examined closely, saying, “I think it’s imperative we look deeply at all the factors.” It’s a vague yet seemingly detail-oriented answer that resonates with Missoula voters who, like Triepke, may not have the health department or the library on the tip of their tongue, but who don’t want the city and county rushing into anything. In closing, she said, “This is an interesting and fascinating process, for sure.”
know if the city’s doing everything they can to promote that relationship to use it to its best advantage. On the city’s end, what can they do? I think the city is responsible for public policy and the safety of its citizens, and I think the university produces top-notch students and can utilize research opportunities that they have, and I think that if we put those combinations together we can tackle issues and move forward with some of those. Triepke, alone among the candidates running for city office this fall, declined to participate in an endorsement interview with the Independent’s editorial staff. The Missoulian similarly was rebuffed, reporting: “The Missoulian asked to interview each candidate in person on the issues. Triepke declined and sent her answers (much of which match the ‘Let’s Talk About the Issues’ section on her campaign website) in writing.” Instead, she appears to be focusing on in-person appearances before voters. At a mayoral forum held by the League of Women Voters at C.S. Porter Middle School in the first week of October, Triepke was nervous. She said so in her introduction to the crowd, which probably looked more imposing than it was, because about 20 of the 50 or so attendees were up in the bleachers of the middle-school gym looking down on the candidates, and there were three cameras trained on the table where she sat next to Engen.

Binge and purge Wrinkles takes full advantage of its separation anxiety by Erika Fredrickson
T
wo years ago, during Missoula’s three-day summer music festival, Camp Daze, Wrinkles took the stage at the Palace Lounge wearing wigs and Hawaiian shirts. It was a little past 1 a.m. and the crowd was subdued. There had been a few high-energy acts earlier in the night, but now the mood had changed. Seattle’s Heavy Petting had just churned out a wonderfully pensive rock set and, before that, Brooklyn’s Florist had served up stellar rainy-day indie-folk, which compelled several audience members to sit cross-legged on the floor (one person even doing yoga stretches). People were looking content and a little lost in thought, so when Wrinkles strummed their first few notes and began bouncing around, their clownish hair swaying to the beat, it felt a bit like getting thrown into a cold shower first thing in the morning: shocking at first—and then invigorating. People ordered more drinks. They began to dance with renewed zeal. Wrinkles’ danceable songs and energetic stage presence stands out at live shows, but it might be only when you sit down and listen to their music that you’d notice how intricate and serious the songwriting is. Their debut album, Separation Anxiety, which came out last summer, combines elements of post-punk and synth-heavy new wave melodies (think: New Order and Joy Division) with 1970s guitar fuzz. Members Sanders Smith and Jon Cardiello say the band’s biggest influence is early Modest Mouse, and it shows, but you could also make comparisons to the sad-kid dance party music of bands like MGMT. The fact that Wrinkles don’t just shoegaze during their shows gives them an appeal across diverse audiences. In 2016, while touring on the release of Separation Anxiety, they played a house show in Tacoma. “We were playing with a much more intense post-punk band and we showed up at this house,” Smith recalls. “Everyone was outfitted for a punk show,” adds Cardiello. “And we were these indie kids from Montana showing up. We’re like, ‘Oh man, we are not going to fit into this scene.’” There were cats crawling all over the place, drunk people on acid playing

lawn games out front in the dark. Accepting the fact that their set was bound to flop, Wrinkles began to play. The punk kids formed a pit and danced enthusiastically, and then they started a conga line that weaved in and out of the room. “It was really weird and really fun,” Smith says. “Part of it has to do with your expectations. You think it’s not going to be good, but then it’s really great. It was our favorite show we played.” Besides Cardiello and Smith, Wrinkles includes bassist Markle Quinn, vocalist/keyboardist Thomas Elsen and drummer Brody Montgomery. (Most of them switch between keys, guitar and bass, depending on the song). They all grew up in Helena and started the band in 2012 when all of them—with the exception of Cardiello—moved to Missoula for college. Cardiello has been living in Seattle for most of the time they’ve been a band, which has made practicing a challenge. The Missoula contingent
[18] Missoula Independent • October 12–October 19, 2017
would often hop in their car and drive to Seattle, practice for six to 12 hours, play a show there and then drive home. “Binge practicing has always been pretty fun,” Cardiello says. “None of us had been in a band where you just practice for an hour or two, so we didn’t know any different.” That binge practicing is part of the energy that fuels Wrinkles’ songs. They write in fits and, between practices, marinate in the songs. “It hasn’t been a regular enough thing to get dull,” Cardiello says. “It was like, ‘Oh we have a show!’ And we didn’t have to feel weird inviting people because we only did it once in a while. I feel like that gave it some momentum, that we were always excited to do it, because it was so rare that we could hang out with each other.” On tour, the band members got to spend hours together in their van, a 1989 Chevy G20. It had no air-conditioning,
which was painful, especially during the drive across the Mojave Desert. They pulled their shirts off and rolled down the windows, the white noise stifling opportunities for a lot of conversation. Which was OK, because Wrinkles, music geeks that they are, are also bookworms, who decided to use their days on tour to hold a band book club. They read five books: Zadie Smith’s White Teeth, George Saunders’ Tenth of December, Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Sympathizer, William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying and a first-person account of the war in Afghanistan (which was jingoistic and terrible, they all agreed). “That was actually the biggest band argument we got into,” Cardiello says. “Books. It was our biggest heated debate ever. When we got to L.A. we found out that Markle is a much faster reader than all of us and he had already read the first book and was trying to go on to the second book, but we were still reading the first book. And we were like, ‘Fine just
go on to the second book if you don’t want to talk with us about the other one.’ And he said, ‘Well you guys should read faster.’ It was such a nerdy thing to get mad about.” Cardiello moved to Missoula earlier this year, and all of the band members (except Smith) live in a house together. Now that there’s no reason not to practice all the time, the band is figuring out how to make sure they keep the Wrinkles spirit burning bright—whether they don wigs or not. “I feel like this is a big transition year for us,” Smith says. “But it’s been really exciting. It’s not starting fresh, but it’s like a whole new relationship. There’s so many perks to being in the same place.” Camp Daze presents Wrinkles at the ZACC Below Fri., Oct. 13, at 7 PM, along with Sundae Crush, Diners, Real Life Buildings and others. $10. efredrickson@missoulanews.com

Master shredder Live hot-dogging with Screaming Females When I first saw Screaming Females around five or six years ago, I wasn’t sure what I was in for. I went to it not having heard the band and only based on people saying things like, “You like guitar music—you should go to this.” And lo and behold, it was incredible. I remember very few things about the show, like who else played, but I do remember that the stage was dominated by the authoritative shredding of the somewhat diminutive guitarist/singer Marissa Paternoster. I only bring up her height because the contrast added oomph to the already oomph-laden set. On few occasions in my roughly 40 years can I remember seeing a rock guitarist who could play leads and rhythm and hold everything down while also blazing effortlessly and artfully. Usually, at some point early in the set, I think something
like, “Ugh, what’s with this wanking? Are you showing off or playing a song?” Not so with Screaming Females. It’s as tasteful as it is virtuosic and that’s a hard balance for guitar players to strike. The last record they released, 2015’s Rose Mountain, is a crunchy romper in which the great guitar soloing is largely subdued compared with the New Jersey band’s 2012 Ugly, whose songs seemed to have more of the excellent hot-dogging that I loved live. Rose Mountain is a strong record, and I think a fine representation of what they’re about. However, to see and hear this band live is to appreciate them, so I recommend doing that, too. (Josh Vanek) Screaming Females play the Union Hall Thu., Oct. 12, at 9 PM, along with Street Eaters, Mossmouth and Mag pies. $12/$10 advance.
Sundae Crush, Crushed Seattle’s Sundae Crush would have been a pretty good pick as one of the real-life bands that got to play the Roadhouse, aka the Bang Bang Bar, the fictional venue that was featured in the final scene of nearly every episode of the most recent season of Twin Peaks. The dream-pop band evokes the show’s primary soundtrack singer, Julee Cruise, whose gauzy soundscapes work perfectly with the creepy, secretive happenings within the David Lynch universe. Sundae Crush’s most recent album, Crushed, sounds like music for warm summer nights, eating ice cream and dreaming of secret crushes. Think of “Ice Cream Run” as the song version of the “check
yes or no” notes that were passed to you in high school (and more subtle than the George Strait song “Check Yes or No”). Two-thirds of the way through, it speeds up and takes off like two teenagers who just decided to skip class to get ice cream. Other songs, like “Swept,” which reminds me of a lo-fi indie-rock version of “Earth Angel,” show hints of heartbreak and small fissures of anxiety. But mostly this is an album for escaping into the sweet distraction of, you know, eating ice cream and forgetting everything else. (Erika Fredrickson) Camp Daze presents Sundae Crush at the ZACC Below Fri., Oct. 13, at 7 PM, along with Diners, Real Life Buildings and others. $10.

Iron & Wine, Beast Epic Beast Epic is Sam Beam’s sixth album, and first back on his launching label, Sub Pop, under the Iron & Wine banner since 2007’s The Shepherd’s Dog. As such, the reviews are tending to talk about cyclicality and returns to form. And true enough, while the production here is richer than the lo-fi aesthetic that announced I&W’s debut The Creek Drank the Cradle in 2002, Beam has returned to acoustic restraint after some sonically peripatetic travels. Die-hard fans will probably point to Beam’s quiet, emotively gorgeous and conviction-filled singing on Beast Epic, laud a wellearned maturity in the new songs’ lyrics and revel mellowly in a new communique from an old friend. But
even a supportively inclined fan-in-passing might reasonably listen to this same album and hear an overly content mediocrity, about as necessary as Matthew Sweet singing Ray LaMontagne songs to himself in the shower. Beast Epic isn’t as freshly, endearingly raw as The Creek Drank the Cradle, and it isn’t nearly as idiosyncratically interesting as anything on Kiss Each Other Clean, just for example. Whatever you dig most about Beam—and there’s lots to dig—it’s hard to imagine this being the record you play to get it. That’s cool. Art ≠ progress.

Rez Made features New York City street photography shot by students from Two Eagle River School in Pablo, including this portrait by Esperanza Orozco-Charlo.
I took my first trip to New York City this summer. The city was overwhelming, its unending energy mesmerizing, even intimidating. Buffeted by the fervor of the city and the friend I was with, I struggled to remain in the moment, absorb everything I could, and remember it all. This is worth mentioning only because, although I enjoyed my long-awaited week in NYC, my trip there as a 20-something pales in comparison to the one taken by a group of high school photography students from Pablo, Montana. With the help of mentor David Spear, the group of 14 students from Two Eagle River School traveled to New York City last year. Between tours of The New York Times, New York University’s photography program, art museums and photojournalism classes, they found time for the true reason behind the trip: capturing what they could of the city through photography. Rez Made: New York, currently on display at the Missoula Art Museum, is a collection of photographs from the trip. The artists have a portrait of themselves, bashful and proud, and an artist statement beside each of their photographs. Along with each student’s name and age, they state whom, of a diverse range of peoples, they represent. This includes Salish, Kootenai, Cree, different tribes within Blackfeet nation, Navajo and many more. While all the photos were shot on the same trip, in the same city, they vary in quiet ways. Mars Sandoval, age 16, took photos that show introspection as well as external observation; his journal, pen and headphones in the first image, and a snapshot of buildings in the other. Xavier Smith, 15, chose to shoot in black and white, highlighting architectural elements in his photography: repetition, line and the nice curve of an archway. The students’ fascination with the architecture and sheer size of the buildings surrounding them is clear when looking at these
photos. It seems their cameras were often tilted either up to capture the rooflines of tall buildings, or down to reveal the places where nature met the city. As a white girl from a small Montana town, close to but not on the Fort Peck Reservation, I’m far from qualified to define what it might mean to be “rez made.” I can only see these images and try to parse out how it may have felt to be a teenager from Pablo with the opportunity to study and work in the cultural capital of our country. When visiting New York City, it’s impossible to ignore the huge amounts of people. We Montanans are spoiled; our state has a population density of 6.5 people per square mile, where New York City’s is 27,000. In the subway, on the sidewalk or in a restaurant, I was surprised to find that I, so intrinsically linked to the spaciousness of rural Montana, still felt kinship with city folk. In the images of Rez Life, you can see the students grappling with the same thought. If Montana made, who am I outside of this place? If “rez made,” can affinity be found in the city? Taelyn Lafley’s work, shot in color, is particularly striking. Clearly taken on a subway, the image is framed on either side by the bellies of what appear to be parents. A small girl and her younger brother hold a chrome pole that splits the image down the center. They are tired, even bored. The girl, her face in shadows, looks at the camera while her brother, his face in focus and yellow-lit, gazes upward. Looking at this photo, I try to imagine lives more different: a childhood in the largest American city and the lives that created Rez Made. But it’s the empathy with which the photo is shot, the earnest fascination obvious in all of the images, that shows the universal humanity shared between these Montana kids and the city across the country. Rez Made continues at MAM through Dec. 31. arts@missoulanews.com

Out of the wild Walking Out hunts the father-son bond by Molly Laich
Walking Out stars Josh Wiggins, left, and Matt Bomer.
In Walking Out, a father and his teenage son sit around the campfire on the first night of their weekend hunting expedition, deep in the Montana wilderness. “Someday you’ll have a son,” the father says. “And you’ll want so badly for him to know who you are that you could cry.” The son nods his head and pretends to understand, but of course he doesn’t. We can’t know anything about what it means to look back meaningfully on the past until we’ve arrived at our life’s precipice. For this particular teen, that defining moment is waiting for him over the next mountain, just a few hours from now, in the jaws of a hungry animal. Montana-born filmmakers Alex and Andrew Smith write and direct the film, adapted from a short story by David Quammen. In this, their third feature (after Winter in the Blood and The Slaughter Rule) the Smith brothers deliver a plain and devastating story about family and the traditions that bind them, set against the majestic and inhospitable wild. We first meet our teenage son, David ( Josh Wiggins), as he de-boards a rickety single-engine airplane in Livingston on his way to meet his father Cal (Matt Bomer) for their annual hunting trip. From their first interactions, we learn that father and son are shy and uncertain of each other; it’s a reintroduction they seem to go through year after year. David’s at a weird and vulnerable age this time around. He knows a lot more than he did last year, and maybe he’s starting to think he doesn’t even like this hunting stuff, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. His mom won’t stop calling and texting from Texas and he still doesn’t know how to drive a car, which is just to say, the future is still malleable. Who in this moment can predict what kind of man David will become?
Growing up in Montana, a young kid’s first kill is a very big deal. I learned a lot about this after teaching college composition at the University of Montana, where it seemed like every other personal essay from the boys in class had a variation on the title, “Hunting with my father.” They wrote about how much they wanted to impress him, how hard and cold and frustrating and terrible it was to fail, and finally, the elation and triumph of achieving their first kill. Cal and David’s story belongs to this greater, archetypal and damn-near tribal cultural experience. And again, we have this perpetual, awe-inspiring mountain backdrop. The film makes frequent use of real-life animals, up close, and in-frame with the actors. When I first saw Walking Out at Sundance, just about every question from the audience wanted to know about the animals. How did they do that!? (Sub-question: compared to a real-life Montana grizzly, can perhaps the CGI bear in The Revenant suck it?) The animals are so much characters that when father and son come across a carcass in the snow surrounded by fresh warm blood, it feels like stumbling on a horrible crime—like somebody should put up yellow tape around the scene. Finally, Walking Out offers up a crash course in not just how to track and hunt an animal, but why (aided in no small part by dream-like flashbacks to Cal’s own father, played by Bill Pullman). For example, did you know that eating cold snow when you’re thirsty only wastes energy? Or that there’s a fine line between hunting for survival and cold-blooded killing, and that it takes integrity and wisdom to know the difference? Walking Out opens at the Roxy Fri., Oct. 13. arts@missoulanews.com

Sweet potato corn cakes with aioli by Gabi Moskowitz
BROKEASS GOURMET
These are like slightly denser, crisper hushpuppies. Supple sweet potatoes and crunchy cornmeal fry up into a satisfying texture, resulting in a unique, tasty side dish or appetizer. The smoky bold aioli offers the perfect complement. If you’re serving these at cocktail hour, make sure you have plenty of frosty pilsner. Serves 4–6 Ingredients 1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potatoes/garnet yams (flesh from about 1 large or 2 medium sweet potatoes) 1/2 cup ricotta or cottage cheese 1 egg 2 tbsp vegetable oil (plus more for frying) 2 cups medium-grind cornmeal 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper 4 green onions (or a handful of fresh chives), chopped 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 chipotle peppers (buy the kind canned in adobo), finely minced 1 small clove garlic, finely minced
Directions Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Use the back of a fork to very finely mash the sweet potatoes. Stir in the ricotta or cottage cheese, egg, oil, cornmeal, salt, pepper and green onions or chives. Stir well until a thick batter forms. Heat about 1” oil in a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan with tall sides, over medium heat. Working in batches, cook 2-tbsp dollops of the batter until crisp and golden-brown on the outside and no longer runny on the inside (moist is OK), about 2–3 minutes on each side. Drain the cooked cakes on paper towels, then transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Continue until all the cakes are cooked. Whisk together the mayonnaise, chopped chipotles and garlic. Stir well and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve the cakes immediately, passing the aioli for dipping.

What you’re drinking: Pick your poison. Actually, scratch that—the poison is pretty consistent on Tequila Wednesdays at Al’s and Vic’s. It’s tequila. Specifically, Espolon brand tequila, which produces three lines of juice: unaged Blanco, aged Reposado and barrelfinished Anejo. The bar’s Tequila Wednesdays menu deploys them in a Real Margarita (premium Anejo X on the rocks), a Negroni Jalisco (Anejo, Campari and sweet vermouth), a Ginger Margarita (Blanco, lime, agave and ginger beer), a Mexican Toddy (Anejo, agave, lemon and hot water), a Paloma (Reposado, agave, muddled lime and grapefruit juice), and the cocktail I had: the Spicy El Nino (Reposado, Ancho Reyes chile liqueur, lime and agave, served with a lime round and a ring of jalapeno). My iteration was pretty mild on the heat meter, and I’m a spice wuss. You might profitably ask your tender to dial it up a touch. Why you’re drinking it: I don’t know why you’re drinking it, but I drank it because
it was my birthday and I was feeling celebratory and and a little salty at the same time. Which I guess means I could have just had a shot with the traditional preparatory salt lick. But last time I found myself shooting tequila, I perhaps not coincidentally found myself stumbling blind down the alarmingly undulatory corridor of a dorm that may or may not have been mine. One good thing about getting older: If you don’t get dead, you tend to eventually wise up. Drink the good stuff, and drink it smartly. What it’ll set you back: The El Nino costs $6.50 and it’s worth every penny, even if you’re not drinking free on your birthday. Plus, if you stay away from the shots, you might even save yourself a splash of pride. When you’re drinking it: Wednesday nights after 8 p.m. at Al’s and Vic’s, 119 W. Alder St. —Brad Tyer

world’s stage of Bard's plays in which it appears. As You Like It, written in the late 1500s, features these famous lines from the melancholy Jaques. Considered by Shakespearian actors through the centuries as one of the most coveted roles in the Billy Shakes' canon, Jaques serves as a witty, charming and often glum foil to the sunny population of Arden. While his all the world's a stage speech is his most favorite, Jaques also gets some of the funniest lines in the play. “I can suck melancholy out of a song, as a weasel sucks eggs,” is my personal favorite. But don't take Jaques dourness as an endorsement for being a sad sack. After all,
when Shakespeare wrote As You Like It, the word “jaques” was synonymous with toilets. —Charley Macorn

L
ast winter, my dad and my sister decided to take home a roadkill deer. It had been hit in the head and the body was intact, so they loaded it up into the trunk of his Honda and took it home. And my dad, who despite being a lifelong country bumpkin has never been hunting, followed along to a YouTube video to learn how to butcher the thing. While we did end up with venison in the freezer, the internet isn’t necessarily the best place to learn how to dress a deer. Whether you’re an avid hunter, a casual roadkill connoisseur or just really worried about surviving the impending apocalypse, you probably want to know what a backstrap is and what you do with all those guts. (Don’t ask me. When the apocalypse arrives I’ll be stuck eating nothing but dandelion greens.) Burns St. Bistro, Hellgate Hunters and Anglers and Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks are hosting
a butchering workshop on Wednesday, so this is your chance to learn from the pros—and yes, on an actual deer. They’ll start from the beginning with a field dressing demonstration, and then Abe Jindrich of the now-closed Cloven Hoof butcher shop will be butchering the carcass. There’ll be a video projector, so you can see all those cuts up close even if you don’t nab a spot near the front. If all that butchering works up your appetite, you’re in luck. The ticket includes a cooking demonstration from Burns St. chef Walker Hunter, and a dinner of lamb stew.
—Margaret Grayson The butchering event at Burns St. Bistro starts on Wed., Oct. 18 at 6 PM. $15. Tickets and info at hellgatehuntersandanglers.org.
SNOWBOWL THE LEGEND No wonder Snowbowl is a legend. Compare to others locally, and you’ll see the value a season pass or daily lift ticket is. Season passes now on sale online at montanasnowbowl.com.

THE SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS By Amy Alkon JAMES AND THE GIANT LEECH I’ve been dating this girl for just over a month, and she never offers to pay for anything. I was okay with this in the beginning, as I saw it as a courtship thing. I guess I wonder whether this points to problems down the road with her not being a real partner, pulling her weight, etc. How do I politely broach this without blowing up the blooming relationship? —Feeling Used This woman lives paycheck to paycheck. Unfortunately, it’s your paycheck. At this point, you’re probably musing on the perfect birthday gift for her—a sparkly little Hello Kitty crowbar she can use to pry open her wallet. However, mystifying as it is that she has never squeaked out the words “This one’s on me!” consider that if there’s one thing heterosexual men and women have in common these days, it’s confusion over who exactly is supposed to pay on dates. The problem driving the confusion is a sort of Godzilla vs. Mothra clash between age-old evolved emotions (still driving us today) and modern-day beliefs about male and female equality. As I explain with some frequency (per big cross-cultural studies by evolutionary psychologist David Buss, among others), women evolved to seek male partners who show they are willing and able to invest in any children they might have. Whether the particular woman actually wants children is immaterial—as in, of zero interest to her emotions. Anthropologist John Marshall Townsend observes from his research and others’ that women’s emotions evolved to act as a sort of police force for a man’s level of commitment—making women feel bad when the investment isn’t there.This leads women to either push a man to invest or ditch him and find a man who will. Men coevolved to expect this, meaning that men evolved to try to appeal to the ladies by showing (or successfully faking) generosity, high status and earning power. Many people mistakenly assume evolved adaptations like this will change with the times, as in, “Ye Olde Evolved Emotions, I’d like to introduce you to Gloria Steinem and the women’s movement.” Unfortunately, evolution is not a lickety-split process—especially when it comes to our psychological engine panel. In fact, anthropologist Donald Symons explains that “natural selection takes hundreds or thousands of generations” (generations being 20- to 30-year periods) “to fashion any complex cognitive
adaptation.” So women, even now—even highly successful women who can comfortably pay for their own meals (and everyone else’s in the restaurant)—have their emotions pushing them to look for a man who shows generosity, as well as the ability to “provide.” This is reflected in the findings by sociologist Janet Lever and her colleagues from a survey of heterosexual men and women—17,067 “unmarried and non-cohabitating” heterosexuals, ages 18 to 65— on the extent to which they embrace or reject the traditional “man pays” dating behavior. (Surprisingly, millennials’ responses were generally pretty close percentagewise to those of older adults—mostly within a few percentage points.) A snapshot of the responses from women: Overall, 57 percent of women said yes to “I always offer to help pay even on the first date.” But check out the mixed feelings: Many women (39 percent) wished men would reject their offer to pay. But many (40 percent of women) said they are bothered when men don’t accept their money. Hello, confusing financial stew! Men’s responses were similarly contradictory. Overall, more than half the men—64 percent—said that after the first few dates, the woman should help pay expenses, and nearly half (44 percent) said they would stop dating a woman who never offers to pay. Yet, men overwhelmingly—that is, 76 percent of men— feel guilty if they don’t pay the bill on dates. So, the reality is, like all of these conflicted men, some women just aren’t sure where the lines are on whether to chip in and when. (Of course, some women are conveniently unsure.) As for this woman you’re seeing, it is possible that she’s waiting until you two are “exclusive” to start picking up the tab. Instead of assuming the worst, do two things: First, observe and reflect on her behavior and attitudes—so far and as you get to know her—and see whether they suggest an interest in partnership or princess-ship. Second, simply ask: “Hey, we’ve been dating for a while, and it seems like we should start sharing the costs. Where do you stand on that?” See what she says and take it from there—tempting as it is to opt for a passive-aggressive approach, like panhandling outside the restaurant where you’re meeting her: “Hey, Amber. You’re early! ... Meet ya inside. Just trying to beg enough for the tip.”

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19): In his book The Logic of Failure, Dietrich Dorner discusses the visionaries who built the Aswan Dam in Egypt. Their efforts brought an abundance of cheap electricity to millions of people. But the planners didn’t take into account some of the important effects of their innovation. For example, the Nile River below the dam no longer flooded its banks or fertilized the surrounding land every year. As a result, farmers had to resort to chemical fertilizers at great expense. Water pollution increased. Marine life suffered because of the river’s diminished nutrients. I hope this thought will motivate you to carefully think through the possible consequences of decisions you’re contemplating. I guarantee that you can avoid the logic of failure and instead implement the logic of success. But to do so, you’ll have to temporarily resist the momentum that has been carrying you along. You’ll have to override the impatient longing for resolution. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Are you primed to seek out new colleagues and strengthen your existing alliances? Are you curious about what it would take to infuse your best partnerships with maximum emotional intelligence? From an astrological perspective, the next nine weeks will be a favorable time to do these things. You will have opportunities to deepen your engagement with collaborators who cultivate integrity and communicate effectively. It’s possible you may feel shy about pursuing at least one of the potential new connections. But I urge you to press ahead anyway. Though you may be less ripe than they are, their influence will have a catalytic effect on you, sparking you to develop at an accelerated rate. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I was satisfied with haiku until I met you,” Dean Young tells a new lover in his poem “Changing Genres.” But Young goes on to say that he’s no longer content with that terse genre. “Now I want a Russian novel,” he proclaims, “a 50-page description of you sleeping, another 75 of what you think staring out a window.” He yearns for a story line about “a fallen nest, speckled eggs somehow uncrushed, the sled outracing the wolves on the steppes, the huge glittering ball where all that matters is a kiss at the end of a dark hall.” I bring Young’s meditations to your attention, Gemini, because I suspect that you, too, are primed to move into a more expansive genre with a more sumptuous plot.
a
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Statistical evidence suggests that Fridays falling on the 13th of the month are safer than other Fridays. The numbers of fires and traffic accidents are lower then, for example. I find this interesting in light of your current situation. According to my analysis, this October’s Friday the 13th marks a turning point in your ongoing efforts to cultivate stability and security. On this day, as well as the seven days before and seven days after, you should receive especially helpful clues about the future work you can do to feel even safer and more protected than you already do.
b
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Too much propaganda and not enough real information are circulating through your personal sphere. You’re tempted to traffic in stories that are rooted more in fear than insight. Gossip and hype and delusion are crowding out useful facts. No wonder it’s a challenge for you to sort out the truths from the half-truths! But I predict that you will thrive anyway.You’ll discover helpful clues lodged in the barrage of bunkum. You’ll pluck pithy revelations from amidst the distracting ramblings. Somehow you will manage to be both extra sensitive and super discriminating.
c
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A journalist named Jenkin Lloyd Jones coined the term “Afghanistanism,” which he defined as “concentrating on problems in distant parts of the world while ignoring controversial local issues.” I want to urge you Virgos to avoid engaging in a personal version of Afghanistanism. In other words, focus on issues that are close at hand, even if they seem sticky or prickly. Don’t you dare let your attention get consumed by the dreamy distractions of faraway places and times. For the foreseeable future, the best use of your energy is HERE and NOW.
d
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I am more interested in human beings than in writing,” said author Anais Nin, “more interested in lovemaking than in writing, more interested in living than in writing. More interested in becoming a work of art than in creating one.” I invite you to adopt that perspective as your own for the next twelve months, Libra. During this upcoming chapter of your story, you can generate long-lasting upgrades if you regard your life as a gorgeous masterpiece worthy of your highest craftsmanship.
e
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio actress Tara Reid told the magazine Us Weekly about how her cosmetic surgeries had made her look worse than she had been in her natural state. “I’ll never be perfect again,” she mourned. I bring this up in the hope that it will inspire you. In my astrological opinion, you’re at a turning point when it’s crucial to appreciate and foster everything about yourself that’s natural and innate and soulfully authentic. Don’t fall sway to artificial notions about how you could be more perfect than you already are.
f
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I didn’t go to work today. I woke up late, lingered over a leisurely breakfast, and enjoyed a long walk in the autumn woods. When I found a spot that filled me with a wild sense of peace, I asked my gut wisdom what I should advise you Sagittarians to attend to. And my gut wisdom told me that you should temporarily escape at least one of your duties for at least three days. (Escaping two duties for four days would be even better.) My gut wisdom also suggested that you get extra sleep, enjoy leisurely meals and go on long walks to spots that fill you with a wild sense of peace. There you should consult your gut wisdom about your top dilemmas.
g
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A snail climbed to the top of a big turtle’s shell as it was sleeping under a bush. When the turtle awoke and began to lumber away in search of food, the snail was at first alarmed but eventually thrilled by how fast they were going and how far they were able to travel. “Wheeee!” the snail thought to itself. I suspect, Capricorn, that this little tale is a useful metaphor for what you can look forward to in the coming weeks.
h
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “If these years have taught me anything, it is this,” wrote novelist Junot Díaz. “You can never run away. Not ever. The only way out is in.” That’s your plucky wisdom for the coming weeks, Aquarius.You have arrived at a pivotal phase in your life cycle when you can’t achieve liberation by fleeing, avoiding or ignoring. To commune with the only kind of freedom that matters, you must head directly into the heart of the commotion. You’ve got to feel all the feelings stirred up by the truths that rile you up.
i
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): J. Allan Hobson is a scientist of sleep who does research at Harvard. He says we dream all the time, not just at night. Our subconscious minds never stop churning out streams of images. During the waking hours, though, our conscious minds operate at such intensity that the lower-level flow mostly stays subliminal. At least that’s the normal state of affairs. But I suspect your dream-generator is running so hot right now that its stories may leak into your waking awareness. This could be disconcerting. Without the tips I’m giving you here, you might worry you were going daft. Now that you know, I hope you’ll tap into the undercurrent to glean some useful intuitions. A word to the wise:The information that pops up won’t be logical or rational. It will be lyrical and symbolic, like dreams.

GARÇON• Garçon is a 13 year male Jack Russell Terrier. He is not only the shelter's old-timer, but also our longest-term canine resident. He is a very happy and well-trained old chap. He came to us when his previous owner's health issues became too advanced to also care for a senior dog. Garçon does not particularly like other dogs or cats, but he loves people of all ages.
This sweet and affectionate girl is a bit timid at first and has a submissive demeanor. She knows a great deal of commands, including sit, lay down, roll over, shake, and high five. Shelter life is a bit stressful for this nervous girl, and she's really hoping to find an established home that can shower her with love and affection which she would gladly reciprocate.
TOBY•Toby is a 3 year old male Catahoula/Lab mix. This big goofy boy is likely the happiest dog you've ever met. He's so full of joy that he literally bounces everywhere he goes! Toby loves to play and will fetch in his own clownlike way. Toby doesn't know basic commands, but is very motivated by treats, which means he would likely learn quickly. DONALD• Donald is a 2 year old male Pit Bull. This silly boy is a bit thick headed, and it takes him a fair amount of time to relate to people. He has never had a consistent owner, and is hoping that his next home is permanent. Donald walks well on leash and knows not a single command. He is very gentle when taking treats and just recently started showing interest in toys.

DEMPSEY• Dempsey is a 3 year old male Pit Bull/Lab mix. He loves playing with other dogs and getting human attention. Dempsey enjoys playing with plush toys, has no idea how to fetch, will perform a few basic commands when treats are readily available. However, extended time in the shelter has caused him to forget some of those good habits.
