STREET TALK

by Cathrine L. Walters

Asked Tuesday, Oct. 21, on the University of Montana campus. This week the Indy publishes its annual “One Day in Missoula” photo essay. When you think of indelible photographic images, what comes to mind? Follow-up: What’s one person, place or event in Missoula that you wish was captured in a single image?

Carlie Magill: For me it would be something by K.D. Swan, the Forest Service photographer. He started in the ’20s and took photos of mountains, lakes and stuff specific for publication to promote the forests. Sprucing up the joint: The event of trees being planted around the Oval ... It would have been neat to see the ceremony when they did it.

Damion Barnett: Teddy Roosevelt on a horse back in the old West. The sky is falling: When all the ash from Mount St. Helens was falling in Missoula. I was 5 years old and it was freaky.

William Penny: Since I grew up in New York, the September 11 towers. How one is on fire and then both start collapsing. Business in front, party in back: I like the president’s building [Main Hall] with the “M” mountain in the background. That’s one of the reasons I came here, the education mixed with recreation.

Brianna McLean: Something that evokes emotion, like anything by Sally Mann. The photos of her children are really intriguing. In one her daughter left a bite mark on someone’s arm. I think it’s called “Jessie Bites.” Creative process: It would have been cool to see some of the construction of public art here, like the “Teepee Burner” or the griz at the Oval.

Michael Nelson: The Dust Bowl photo. It’s a man and his two sons running into their home away from the dust storm. Anti-discrimination: The Not in My Bathroom rally at city council a few years back. It was inspiring to see that. It was one of the moments that I got really inspired about politics.

I haven’t been in Missoula long enough to be familiar with Dan Brooks. But I read with interest his piece, “Democracy foul” (Oct. 9). I’m inclined to think it was satirical. If so, I applaud him because the piece does a fine job of exposing the right wing’s true colors as a totally self-involved, self-entitled, exclusive, elitist clique, claiming to know what’s best for all us “losers.” On the other hand, if it was a serious piece, I applaud him as well … for the very same reasons. Rick Nelson Missoula

Result oriented I read in a recent article that Lawrence VanDyke, candidate for the Montana Supreme Court, considers his opponent Justice Michael Wheat a “result oriented” activist on the Court. My own observation of Justice Wheat’s record is that it’s been quite moderate—much more so than mine, for example. However, the more important issue for voters is what it means when one judicial candidate accuses another of being “result oriented.” My own belief is that anyone who doesn’t care about the result of his or her decisions isn’t fit to be a judge. If results don’t matter, then why not just hire a bunch of Harvard-programmed computers and submit disputes to them for resolution? It would certainly be a cleaner and more efficient process than having a court staffed by humans. In addition, we’d save money on salaries and health benefits. It’s not that VanDyke would be less result oriented, it’s just that he would advocate different results. For example, being from Harvard, I’m sure VanDyke admires the current majority on the U.S. Supreme Court. He’s admitted that he agrees with their decision in Citizens United vs. FEC, which treated corporations as people and equated unlimited corporate expenditures on political campaigns with free speech. There was, of course, no historical precedent suggesting that the authors of the Constitution intended either result. Citizens United is possibly the most result-oriented decision in recent history and the most mortal blow ever inflicted by the judiciary on democracy. Yet, because VanDyke hopes to benefit from dark, unidentified out-of-state corporate money in this election, he’s fine with that result. The point I’d like to make is that people shouldn’t be misled when the term “result oriented” is used as a criticism by right-wing candidates like VanDyke. Right-wing activists

permeate the judiciary. They dominate the U.S. Supreme Court and are among the most result-oriented justices in our history. VanDyke wants to be one of them. Terry N. Trieweiler Retired Montana Supreme Court Justice Whitefish

Andersen for JP In a few weeks, we all have a chance to pick our next justice of the peace, as well as our national representatives. There are two candidates running for the position of JP: one is a real judge—Marie Andersen—with over seven years’ experience in both municipal and veterans’ courts. She was appointed by the Montana Supreme Court to help develop a curriculum for training all new judges in courts with limited jurisdiction,

“I applaud him because the piece does a fine job of exposing the right wing’s true colors as a totally self-involved, self-entitled, exclusive, elitist clique, claiming to know what’s best for all us ‘losers.’” and led in developing innovative programs for working with veterans, drug offenders and victims of domestic abuse. In addition to her years on the bench, Marie Andersen served three and a half years in veterans court, spending extra time working with veterans to help them avoid jail time. She is the kind of judge to whom past offenders come up years later and thank the court for “helping turn my life around.” Her opponent, Matthew Lowy, has had no judicial experience whatsoever, but shows a genuine aptitude for collecting sig-

natures. Mr. Lowy found space to attack Marie Andersen’s popularity among voters, but failed to mention that in this last election—the relevant one —Judge Marie Andersen easily received far more votes than Mr. Lowy, despite his time spent garnering names. Marie Andersen is currently serving on the bench for judge Karen Orzech. She found time to serve as pro bono attorney for Crime Victim Advocates, advocating for women, youth and elders alike, and is developing a program of equine therapy for youth and other victims of violent crime. In every case, Marie has worked to serve the law and its citizens, while saving the city of Missoula money. Marie Andersen represents the law, and the citizens of Missoula. We can be proud to call her our JP. Laulette L. Hansen Missoula

Pro parks and trails Why do we live in Missoula? Because we love our city, our outdoors and the recreational opportunities, and our friends love all the same things. Now, Missoulians have a chance to make Missoula an even better place to call home. By voting “yes” for the Parks and Trails bond, we can make an important investment in Missoula’s future. Much of the playground equipment found throughout the city has not been updated since it was first installed in the 1950s. By voting “yes” for Parks and Trails, the city will be able to phase in state-of-the-art equipment that will meet the needs of children of all ages and be fun, too. Nearly two-thirds of Missoula County residents visit Fort Missoula Regional Park, and by voting “yes” on Parks and Trails, we can all create a world class destination park for county and city residents alike. New trails, better facilities and improved athletic fields will all help Fort Missoula Regional Park be a better place for everyone who visits it. Finally, like so many Missoula County residents, I love our trail systems. As Missoula, and the popularity of trails, continues to grow, we need more trails to accommodate the increased use. By voting “yes” for Parks and Trails, we can create more opportunities for people to hike, bike and run—in town, out of town and between towns. Vote “yes” on Parks and Trails and invest in the future of Missoula—the place we all love. John Oetinger Missoula

Environment

Reining in energy leases On Oct. 24, Blackfoot Confederacy chiefs from Montana and Alberta will meet in Browning to discuss how to deal with a lawsuit that seeks to open the Badger-Two Medicine region of the Lewis and Clark National Forest to oil and gas exploration. “It’s coming to a head,” says Blackfeet Historic Preservation Officer John Murray. “We’re trying to mobilize.” In 2013, a Louisiana-based energy firm called Solenex asked a federal court to open the 130,000-acre roadless area to resource extraction. Solenex says that despite leasing 6,250 acres from the Bureau of Land Management in the Badger-Two Medicine for decades, the secretary of the Interior, who oversees drilling permits on federal lands, has not authorized the company to proceed with a well. “We think 30 years is long enough to sit on an oil and gas lease,” says William Perry Pendley of the Mountain States Legal Foundation, which represents Solenex. The dispute’s most recent chapter dates back to the 1980s, when energy companies began leasing Badger-Two Medicine land. Pressure from the tribes and environmental

groups prompted the federal government to suspend the leases until a more comprehensive study of the area’s cultural and religious importance to indigenous people was completed. Murray notes that for thousands of years the Blackfoot Confederacy, which includes the Blackfeet of Montana and three Alberta bands, has drawn spiritual and physical sustenance from the area. The federal government recognized that in what’s called the “1895 Agreement,” promising the tribes access to the Badger-Two Medicine area for hunting and fishing in perpetuity. Perhaps most worrisome to the confederacy is how energy development could impact sacred areas, Murray says. “We have several cultural-religious sites, numerous, that we think will be sterilized, vacated spiritually,” he says. The issue goes far beyond Solenex. Murray says 17 other leases remain untapped. “If they win in court,” he says, “the others will go in and develop.” The confederacy counts a coalition of environmental groups among its supporters, including the Blackfeet Headwaters Alliance, Glacier-Two Medicine Alliance, the Montana Wilderness Association, the National Parks Conservation Association and the Wilderness Society, all of

which are attempting to intervene in the Solenex suit. The Montana Petroleum Association, meanwhile, argues in its own court filing that allowing the Badger-Two Medicine leases to continue languishing “would cast a shadow of doubt over all federal oil and gas leases.” The judge’s decision on the Solenex lawsuit is expected in the coming weeks.

Wilderness

Cabinet mine fight resurfaces A pair of long-laboring and hotly contested mine proposals below the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness are expected to reach new milestones by the end of the year—a development that has wilderness advocates in northwestern Montana and the Idaho Panhandle gearing up for yet another round in a nearly twodecade-long battle. According to Lynn Hagarty, project coordinator on the Kootenai National Forest, a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Revett Mining’s proposed Rock Creek copper and silver mine on the

[news] southwest flank of the Cabinets will likely be released for public comment by the close of 2014. The U.S. Forest Service initially approved the project more than a decade ago, but after the nonprofit Rock Creek Alliance filed a legal challenge based on potential impacts to grizzly bears and bull trout, Revett’s proposal languished in the courts for years. The legal fight finally ended in late 2011 when the Ninth Circuit upheld the alliance’s concerns, requiring federal officials to revisit their review in an SEIS. Rock Creek Alliance Executive Director Mary Costello says the protracted timeline has made it difficult to keep the public’s eye trained on the alleged fallout from development, including sediment loading in a critical bull trout stream and heavy metals pollution. The pending release of the SEIS isn’t the most uplifting way to end the year marking the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, but after 15 years Costello doesn’t see her group packing it in. “It’s like a David and Goliath battle,” she says. “Here we are, a very small grassroots organization pitted against a mining company that has a ton of resources. But there’s just so much at stake that we’re going to continue to fight this thing.” The issue has become more complicated in recent years with the addition of a second mine. The proposed Montanore Mine, owned by the Spokane-based company Mines Management, stretches underneath the Cabinets mere miles from Revett’s Rock Creek site. Montanore has also labored through the permit system for nearly a decade. This spring, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concluded the project would not adversely impact grizzlies or bull trout; Hagarty says a final EIS and draft Record of Decision on Montanore are expected by the end of the year. For Costello, it’s just one more development that calls for meetings and workshops highlighting the importance of the wilderness both mines will tunnel beneath. “It’s an area that people really love,” Costello says of the Cabinets, “and I’m not sure how aware most people are of what’s going to happen to the wilderness lakes, the whole wilderness experience, once these mines are built.” Alex Sakariassen

Beer

Kettlehouse’s growth spurt The story of Kettlehouse Brewing Company’s evolution took another turn last week with the announcement that the brewery plans to build a large production facility in Bonner. Co-founder and owner Tim O’Leary first broke the news in a post on the brewery’s website, explaining

that demand for canned craft beer has outpaced production capabilities. In short, he says, Kettlehouse has “outgrown” its Northside and Southside facilities. “We have nowhere to expand,” O’Leary adds, “and we could probably sell twice as much beer, twice as much Cold Smoke, without even going outside of Montana boundaries if we could just make it.” Kettlehouse has been on the lookout for a piece of property on which to build for nearly a year and a half, and O’Leary expects to close on an 18-acre parcel near the old Bonner sawmill sometime next spring. Construction would commence shortly thereafter, including on an in-house wastewater treatment system. O’Leary also envisions future projects like growing hops on-site. “I’ve got a lot of ideas,” he says.

The new production facility will be dedicated primarily to meeting demand for canned Cold Smoke, Eddy Out and Double Haul IPA from distributors and customers. As it stands now, O’Leary says, Great Falls and Bozeman can’t get those products. The realization that Kettlehouse needed more room to grow came shortly after the Northside location opened in 2009, he adds, but it took time to develop a strategy around the state’s annual 10,000-barrel production cap without losing the taprooms. “We grew up as a taproom brewery,” O’Leary says. “That was our business model. It still is a vital part of our marketing, but with all the [taproom] openings, we’re not creating more beer drinkers ... I feel strongly that our industry has to continue to reinvest and get beer to the consumer where they want it.” Kettlehouse has no plans to vacate its existing locations after the Bonner facility begins production—likely in early 2016. Nor does O’Leary intend to open a taproom in the new space, though there will be room carved out for one if the need arises. In the meantime, Kettlehouse is working to meet demand as product continues to run low in some markets. That’s why O’Leary wrote last week’s post. “We felt like we needed to tell people, ‘Yes, we’re aware that this is a problem,’” he says. “‘It’s been going on ever since we started canning.’” Alex Sakariassen

BY THE NUMBERS

ETC.

Missoula’s perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign’s 2014 Municipal Equality Index, a nationwide evaluation of city law and policy based on LGBT inclusiveness.

Time was, the most you did to smoke weed was grind it up and roll it in cigarette paper. Then came the hollowed-out apple, the carefully reconfigured plastic water bottle, an endless progression of meticulously made glass apparatuses and, yes, the bathtub gravity bong. But we had no idea what was on the horizon: people blowing up apartments in pursuit of a marijuana high. That’s what happened on Oct. 12, in a University of Montana housing complex, when something apparently went very, very wrong while 24-year old Patrick Wayne Austin was allegedly using butane to make hash oil in his girlfriend’s apartment. According to court documents, “Upon arrival officers noted that the windows in the apartment had been shattered and pieces of glass had been blown approximately 50 feet toward the sidewalk.” When they got inside, emergency personnel saw butane canisters, a hot plate and 1.67 pounds of marijuana, and figured out what had likely happened. Though Austin has denied he was making hash oil at the time of the explosion, his girlfriend told detectives he had been—and that she knew something was wrong when she heard a “loud ‘whoosh sound’ and looked up to see the kitchen on fire,” according to court documents. “She then realized that both her and her child’s hair were on fire.” At the time, her child was 19 months old. This wasn’t an isolated incident. Accidents from hash oil production are on the rise around the country; just last week a Corvallis woman pleaded guilty for her role in an explosion that sent a 17-year-old to the hospital with severe burns. There’s never a good time for a trend like this, but right now it could harm more than just those who happen to be around when a spark ignites and the butane lights. Currently, Montana’s medical marijuana program exists in tenuous legal limbo. With groups like the Montana Cannabis Information Association working hard to craft legislation that would stabilize the program, increase access for patients and possibly pave the way for further liberalization, blowing up apartments and endangering toddlers isn’t the best way to convince the anti-marijuana contingent of the drug’s relative harmlessness and medical efficacy. And that contingent needs convincing if medical marijuana reform has a chance this coming legislative session. So put away your butane oil and, if you must, grab your cigarette paper and get high the oldfashioned way. Lighting up sure beats potentially lighting your house on fire.

100 Politics

Watching the debate war Forward Montana billed its viewing party for the Oct. 20 U.S. Senate debate as a Star Wars theme, but that quickly went the way of the Death Star. Aside from the event posters and the text in the free space of their Debate Wars Bingo cards—“May The Force Be With You”—nothing inside the Badlander remotely suggested a sci-fi atmosphere. CEO Kayje Booker explained that the group had intended to build homemade lightsabers for attendees out of Life Savers, but the idea fell apart. The party theme—designed to make the event more “accessible and relevant” to a broader spectrum of young voters—may have bombed, but nearly 70 people still gathered for the only widely advertised debate-watching party in Missoula this year. Initially, it looked like Montanans wouldn’t see any debates in either of the top-ballot races this fall. Republican House candidate Ryan Zinke waited until the last minute to confirm his debate presence, and Senate candidates Amanda Curtis and Rep. Steve Daines went back and forth on schedule proposals before finally reaching a two-debate agreement. With exactly 15 days left until Election Day, all eyes at the Badlander were trained on a pair of flatscreen televisions as Curtis and Daines traded barbs. The decidedly pro-Curtis crowd cheered every one of her rejoinders, from chastising Daines’ vote to shut down the federal government to highlighting her status as the “only woman” on the debate stage. As a nonpartisan group that does not endorse in federal races, Forward Montana cared less about the debate’s outcome and more about drumming up interest in the race. Over the next two weeks, the group plans to knock on thousands of doors and distribute 15,000 voter guides in the hopes of bolstering voter turnout. “In this race in particular, the difference between the candidates is striking,” Booker said. “And we want young people to realize that their vote really does matter. This race underscores that.” Alex Sakariassen

Courting voters Herbert presses incumbent Rice on free speech, Barry Beach by Jessica Mayrer

David Herbert was shocked to learn that his opponent in the upcoming Montana Supreme Court election, Justice Jim Rice, supported sending a man to jail for swearing at a government employee. “I said, ‘My goodness, I thought Montana was one of the states that believed in the Constitution, free speech,’” Herbert says. Herbert learned of his opponent’s stance while reading a news article about a Gallatin County man’s appeal to the state Supreme Court. The man, Randall Dugan, was sentenced to five days in jail and a $585 fine after being found guilty in 2009 of violating Montana’s Privacy in Communications statute for calling a public employee a “fucking cunt.” The law classified “use of obscene, lewd, or profane language ... (as) evidence of an intent to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend,” and made such offenses a misdemeanor. Dugan argued the law violated free speech protections. Six Montana Supreme Court justices agreed, striking a portion of the Privacy in Communications statute. In his lone dissent, Rice argued that because the woman was a government employee, she was a captive audience to Dugan’s “fighting words.” When examined in context, he said the penalty fit. “The right of free speech should not extend to Dugan’s individually directed, personally debasing, and injurious statement ... that had no part of any exposition of ideas,” Rice opined. It was Rice’s dissent that prompted Herbert’s campaign to unseat him. The Rice-Herbert race is one of two for the Montana Supreme Court that will be decided on Nov. 4. As the court shapes the law, whomever is elected stands to impact all Montanans. Herbert, in addition to being a member of the California and Montana bar associations, is a licensed podiatrist in Wyoming. He calls himself a “Ron Paul Libertarian” and notes on his campaign website that he’s a lifelong NRA member and a pro-life Catholic. “I just think there’s a lot things about abortion here that should be straightened up a little bit,” Herbert says. “I have a problem with the way it’s carried out in Montana— you don’t even have to be a physician to provide an abortion.” Rice, for his part, keeps his personal opinions significantly closer to the vest and slams Herbert’s public stance. “As judges,” he says, “we are not permitted to take positions on issues.” For seven years, Rice served as a Republican lawmaker in the Montana House of Representatives. He acknowledges he leaned

pro-life as a legislator. In 2001, Republican Gov. Judy Martz appointed him to the court. Five years later, voters elected Rice to another term. Among Rice’s proudest accomplishments, he says, is helping to steer the court away from judicial activism, a common criticism during the early part of his tenure.

Incumbent Supreme Court Justice Jim Rice, top, faces a challenge from Billings attorney and licensed podiatrist David Herbert on the November ballot.

“I wanted to bring a traditional jurisprudence, one that respected the separation of powers,” Rice says. “Rarely do you see anymore criticism, ‘Oh, we have an activist court. They’re out of control. They don’t abide by the separation of powers.’” As an example of his commitment to legal evenhandedness, Rice points to the Seven Up Pete Venture v. State lawsuit and the court’s majority decision, which he authored. The case pitted extraction companies against a 1998 voter initiative banning cyanide leach mining. After the law passed, several companies, including the Arizonabased Seven Up Pete Venture, sued the state, alleging that the statute led to an illegal property rights taking. As such, the companies ar-

gued they deserved compensation. Rice, who has a background of a probusiness legislator, wrote that the companies weren’t entitled to a payout, largely because they had yet to secure state mining permits. “I think that was one case where justice was done,” Rice says. One issue in which Rice is not confident that justice will be done is campaign finance. Rice sided with the court majority in Western Tradition Partnership v. Attorney General, when the Montana court in 2011 tried to keep the state’s 100-year-old Corrupt Practices law intact, despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision one year earlier in Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission to strike down similar restrictions. When the U.S. Supreme Court tossed out Montana’s ban on direct corporate expenditures to political campaigns in 2012, Rice says he was disappointed. “I think it opens, creates some dark clouds on the horizon about the potential of inappropriate influence on our judicial races,” he says. Perhaps the opinion that’s garnered Rice the most criticism is one he authored in 2013 that resulted in Barry Beach being returned to prison. In 1984, a jury found Beach guilty of deliberate homicide for killing Kim Nees on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, a murder Beach maintained for decades he didn’t commit. After Beach served 29 years in prison, a Roosevelt County district judge freed him in 2011, stating that newly discovered evidence could alter Beach’s original conviction and that Beach should have a new trial. While awaiting trial, Beach worked a full-time job and began making payments on a Billings home. In May 2013, he was returned to prison after the Montana Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that the district court erred when ordering Beach receive a new trial. Rice explains the court’s rationale stemmed from U.S. Supreme Court directives, which mandate evidence more compelling than that presented by Beach’s legal counsel be submitted before overturning a jury verdict. “It can’t just be evidence that contradicts the evidence introduced at trial,” Rice says. “It has to be evidence that blows the evidence out of the water.” Despite criticisms from the public and his opponent in the wake of the Beach decision, Rice knows after 14 years on the bench that second-guessing comes with the territory. “We call the law as we can,” he says, “and then we have to let the chips fall.” jmayrer@missoulanews.com

A price to play Voters to decide what redeveloping Fort Missoula is worth by Ted McDermott

“Our taxpayer dollars should first go across the board, ideally,” Conkle says. “But if there is a [special] benefit, it should be the lower income, the more challenged group getting the benefit, versus the upper end. And we don’t need the Taj Mahal of parks to take care of the local people.” According to John O’Connor, who is helping to spearhead Citizens for Parks and Trails’ effort to pass the bond, taking care of local people is exactly what the money would do. He says the $42 million would accomplish the opposite of what Conkle alleges, providing badly needed money for parks throughout the city and trails throughout the county while also turning Fort Mis-

soula into a resource for all residents, regardless of income. “People say, ‘Well, you’re just building this for the rich kids who want to play lacrosse, and they’re the only ones that are going to get to use those fields,’” O’Connor says. “Not true.” While he acknowledges that playing fields will sometimes be reserved for tournaments and games, especially on weekends, the amenities and facilities of the regional park would remain public and accessible to all. It would also, O’Connor says, provide a place for the YMCA to expand its youth programs, which are open to everyone and offer scholarships to families in need. Beyond improving sports and recreation in Missoula, O’Connor and other proponents of the bond argue the new park would also provide important connections to the rich history of Fort Missoula and act as “an economic driver,” both by bringing in money during tournaments and by attracting people permanently to the area. “I personally believe that what makes

multi-use soccer fields, softball fields, playgrounds, parking lots, trails, playgrounds, picnic shelters, interpretive displays, pickleball courts, open space, a pond and a pavilion, among other amenities. Conkle says he’s all for developing recreational opportunities for kids and he understands the need to raise tax dollars to pay for public infrastructure, but he believes the bond money would disproportionately benefit upper-class kids and families. The greater good, Conkle says, lies in funding for public schools and parks that exist throughout the community, providing children with equal access and opportunity to play and participate in sports. With a public schools bond in excess of $100 million expected to hit ballots in the near future, voters should soon have the opportunity to fund that priority, Conkle says. In the meantime, he thinks it unwise and unfair to spend so much on improvements, such as a single “championship” soccer field estimated to cost $2.8 million, that would primarily benefit expensive and exclusive youth travel teams.

Missoula a special place, for me anyway, is quality of life stuff,” says O’Connor, who has four kids and works as the head administrator for Five Valleys Urology. “I don’t have to live here. I’m lucky enough that I have a career where I could go wherever I wanted in the United States. But I choose to live in Missoula because of that quality of life. And to me, there are certain things that make a community super vibrant and have that quality of life … and a facility like [Fort Missoula Regional Park] will only help with that.” But some, including Missoula City Councilman Adam Hertz, question whether spending $38 million on a regional park is the most cost-effective means of meeting Missoula County’s recreational and economic needs. Hertz says the master plan is a “luxury” and that the existing fields and facilities at Fort Missoula could be improved for far less than the amount requested. Instead, he’d like to see a more comprehensive plan for addressing Missoula’s “structural economic problems.” “Economic development can’t be an afterthought of, ‘Let’s just build a luxury play field’ and then, as a side benefit, let’s just say it has some economic development aspects to it because people are going to come into town and buy a burger at McDonalds and stay at a hotel,” Hertz says. If passed, the bond would add $37 to an annual property tax bill on a home valued at $200,000. Proponents argue the cost is affordable, but critics say many low- and fixedincome taxpayers are already overburdened by rising rates. Since 2005, Missoula County has raised taxes 21.7 percent (an average of 2.2 percent a year). Next year, they are slated to go up another 4.8 percent. Meanwhile, city taxes have increased 44 percent in the same 10-year period. “I get it when people say, ‘It all adds up, and I just don’t want to take it anymore,’” O’Connor says. “But we think that this is an investment that’s really worth it, because it’s not just for us. It’s for the community, and it’s for generations to come.” Missoula County Commissioner Jean Curtiss agrees that the money would be well spent. The redevelopment of Fort Missoula has been pushed and supported by an array of county citizens over a nearly 20-year period, she says, and now it’s finally time for voters to decide whether to move forward. “Sometimes you plant the seed and sometimes you reap the end [harvest],” Curtiss says. “This seed has been growing for a while, and it just seems like the time for people to make this decision.”

Jim Conkle insists he is not “anti-tax.” But, along with being a father, a former insurance agent, a youth sports coach and a volunteer committee member for Missoula County Public Schools, he is among the most vocal opponents of the 20-year, $42-million Missoula County Parks and Trails Bond that will appear on ballots this coming Election Day. If approved, the countywide bond would allocate $1 million to maintain and create playgrounds in city parks, $3 million to unspecified county trails projects and $38 million to implement the Fort Missoula Regional Park Master Plan. That plan would convert some 150 acres of adjoining city and county land into a sprawling complex of

Unsteady platform Why a commissioner candidate’s vague Title X stance matters by Dan Brooks

322 N HIGGINS / MISSOULA / plonkwine.com

Vicky Gordon is running for a seat on the Missoula Board of County Commissioners, but it’s unclear what she plans to do with it. The platform page on her campaign website says that she is a Missoula native whose family has lived in Montana for 100 years. She attended college and graduate school at the University of Montana in Missoula, and she worries that recent county management reflects “a world view borrowed from big cities.” That’s not a platform. A platform has policy positions, of which Gordon offers exactly one: she is against taxes. She doesn’t plan to reduce them, per se. But she does worry that plans to buy Mountain Water will create “a money pit.” Otherwise, her platform offers no indication of what she might do in office. “I want to really take the time to hear the concerns of the people and involve the taxpayers more,” she writes. “We need to slow the process a bit and really consider the comments of the 99 percent.” I think we can all agree that county government should be more responsive and also slower. But before I fill out my ballot, I would like to know what Gordon plans to do once she gets beyond the reach of voters for six years. Particularly, I would like to know if she will accept federal Title X funding for reproductive health services. Attentive readers might remember that the Ravalli County Commission rejected Title X funding last year, closing a family planning clinic that had operated for four decades. The Missoulian cited this debacle in a candidate Q&A with Gordon last month. When asked if she would accept the same funds for Missoula County, Gordon said this: “Title X is federally funded and has been administered in Missoula without incident. I do not foresee that this would change.” I fully agree with the first sentence of that statement, which is a matter of fact. The second sentence kind of gives us Gordon’s prediction about what would happen if

someone on the county commission tried to reject Title X. She doesn’t think it would work. But she does not say whether that someone might be her, or if she intends to keep administering those federal funds without incident. Nobody foresaw that Title X would change in Ravalli County, either, but it did. Before she asks voters to put her on a threemember commission for six years, I think Gordon should give us a clear answer.

“I do know, however, that it takes Gordon’s letter 60 words to get from legal abortion to the extermination of Jews.” I ask because I am a patient at Blue Mountain Clinic, and as I left there recently an older man wished me good luck in hell. He urged me to pray to end abortion, waving a sign produced by the activist group 40 Days for Life. I will be getting a vasectomy to end abortion, so he can keep praying and we’ll soon know which method works. More importantly, Gordon endorsed 40 Days for Life in a 2011 letter to the editor printed in the Missoulian, in which she praises protestors for “appealing to the workers at Blue Mountain Clinic and those who may be considering abortion to stop marginalizing the unborn.” I would say the main force marginaliz-

ing the unborn is their failure to exist within the space-time continuum, but Gordon and I disagree on this issue. In another letter to the Missoulian from 2012—also sent during Lent, when 40 Days for Life conducts its protest campaigns—she writes: “Yes, each of the 56 million aborted children has a soul; each is a person with a job to do, a life to live, and an innate dignity… The unborn are the same as we are. If someone kills us, that doesn’t mean that we never existed.” In a letter to the Independent, NARAL Pro-Choice Montana Executive Director Maggie Moran alleges that Gordon is “a regular protester at Blue Mountain Clinic.” I have never seen Gordon there, nor have I seen photographs of her protesting, so I do not know if that is true. I do know, however, that it takes Gordon’s 2012 letter to the editor 60 words to get from legal abortion to the extermination of Jews. I know the Centers for Disease Control counted approximately 760,000 legal abortions in the year before she wrote it. That 56 million figure Gordon cites comes from National Right to Life, whose estimate of total abortion since Roe v. Wade seems to include certain forms of birth control. I don’t know what Gordon plans to do about Title X. By federal mandate, that money cannot be used to fund abortion. But a woman who sees an equivalence between Roe v. Wade and the Holocaust may not be sensitive to such fine distinctions. The voters of Missoula deserve a straight answer from candidate Gordon. It’s not enough to tell us that she was born here and never left. I don’t care where Vicky Gordon came from. I need to know where she is going.

A game of keep away What’s the state GOP’s problem with voter freedom? by Gabriel Furshong

There are exactly 154 days between Montana’s primary election, which occurred on June 3, and the general election that will occur in less than two weeks, on Tuesday, Nov. 4. These days are comprised of 3,600 total hours and about 2,300 waking hours, if we allow for a generous nine hours of sleep per night. With these numbers in mind, it stands to reason that Ryan Zinke and Steve Daines, Republican candidates for Montana’s open U.S. House and Senate seats, respectively, could easily find the time to engage in what most voters would consider the most essential practice of an honest and informative campaign: a series of good old-fashioned, face-to-face, public debates. Yet, Daines committed to exactly two in the final two weeks of the election cycle. Zinke committed to five, but only after major newspapers across the state criticized him for canceling an important debate in Billings. Fortunately, our appetite for deliberate discussion between candidates has only increased as a result of these candidates’ debate-dodging. The opinion pages of Montana newspapers have brimmed with letters calling for a change. In a sharp editorial that criticized Zinke for pulling out of the Billings debate earlier this month, Darrell Ehrlick, editor of the Billings Gazette, offered a concise explanation for this uptick in demand. “Now, more than ever, we need the ‘reality’ of a debate and the politicians in an unvarnished form and forum,” he wrote. “We need to see the real candidates, not them as they want to portray themselves.” In short, we want more debates because they clarify the critically important choices that voters face every election year. But then, choice hasn’t been a strong suit for the Montana GOP just lately. Indeed, debate dodging appears to be the symptom of a much larger problem that’s been ailing the party for years. Consider the final weeks of the last legislative session, in April 2013, when Republican lawmakers made national headlines after forcing a vote that placed two controversial referenda on the 2014 election ballot. The first referendum asked voters to replace Montana’s open primary election with a top-two primary that would lump all candidates into a single primary regardless of party affiliation. This proposed system would allow only the top-two vote getters to ad-

vance to the general election. If approved, the referendum would almost certainly prevent third party candidates and independents—who sometimes draw votes away from major party candidates—from reaching a general election. Fortunately, this referendum was eventually struck from the ballot because it exceeded the legal word limit. But the second referendum, LR-126, remains. It would end same-day voter registration in Montana, which is one of 11 states

“The more flexibility that we have to choose when to vote, which candidate to select and which political party to support, the more the GOP fights to curtail these freedoms.” that allows voters to register to vote on Election Day. Same-day registration was originally passed by our state legislature in 2005, with overwhelming bipartisan support in both the House and Senate. Over 28,000 Montanans have successfully registered to vote on Election Day since this option was implemented in 2006. But during the 2013 legislative session, Republican lawmakers changed their tune, arguing loudly and proudly that Montanans should not be allowed to vote unless they are registered at their current address at least three days before an election. A clear majority of Montanans disagree with this argument. In fact, a nonpartisan poll conducted earlier this year by Patinkin Research Strategies revealed that 70 percent

of Montanans believe same-day registration is necessary to protect voter participation. But, of course, over the last several years, Republican lawmakers have grown preoccupied with the perception that same-day registration is primarily used by a younger demographic, a constituency that tends to change their physical address more frequently and use same-day registration more often. This demographic also tends to prefer Democrats to Republicans, which perhaps explains the Republican Party’s sudden about-face on this issue. Together, these actions represent two Republican attacks on voter choice in less than two years. But now, there’s a third. In September, Republican Party central committees in five Montana counties joined in a lawsuit that seeks to close the state’s open primary system. If successful, Montana law would be changed to require all voters to register with a single party and vote on that party’s ballot in primary elections. In this scenario, independent voters, who tend to vote for a person over a party, would be effectively banned from participating in primary elections. The only conceivable rationale for this lawsuit is to prevent independents from voting for moderate Republicans in primary races, thus affording additional protection for the more extreme faction of the party. I wonder if Montanans are noticing a trend. The more flexibility that we have to choose when to vote, which candidate to select and which political party to support, the more the GOP fights to curtail these freedoms. Likewise, the more Republican candidates have to answer live questions in real time, the more the GOP risks exposing Montana voters—and independent voters in particular—to a real choice. This distaste for voter choice within the Republican Party ought to be worrisome to Montanans across the political spectrum, because if there is one fuel source that democracy requires to burn brightly, it’s the freedom to choose who makes the laws we live by. The irony here is that if the GOP maintains its current campaign against voter freedoms, then Montanans may very well choose to support them far less often in the future. editor@missoulanews.com

CURSES, FOILED AGAIN - After police released surveillance videos of a carjacking in New Haven, Conn., three probation officers identified the suspect as Gary Harding, 26. To avoid arousing suspicion, they asked Harding to attend a routine probation meeting. He obliged by showing up in the stolen vehicle and was arrested. (Hartford’s WFSB-TV) Police chasing a vehicle that fled a traffic stop lost sight of it but then spotted it parked in Lebanon, Ore. Authorities searching for the driver in the dark noticed a strong scent of cologne that led them to Charles V. Agosto, 35, crouched in some shrubbery, “only about 10 or 20 feet away from his car,” Police Chief Frank Stevenson said. (Albany Democrat-Herald)

AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH - Climate change and overpopulation helped create the terrorist group ISIS, according to researchers at New York’s John Jay College Center on Terrorism. Charles Strozier and Kelly Berkell blame catastrophic weather for ruining 800,000 Syrian farmers and herders and knocking two to three million people into extreme poverty, turning many “climate refugees” into terrorists. “Environmental stressors and political violence are connected in surprising ways,” the authors said, asking, “If more Americans knew how glacial melt contributes to catastrophic weather … would we drive more hybrids and use millions fewer plastic bags?” (The Huffington Post)

WHAT, TOO SOON? - The National Football League’s Jacksonville Jaguars apologized after team mascot Jaxson de Ville mocked the Pittsburgh Steelers during their game by holding a Steelers signature yellow “Terrible Towels” next to a sign that read “TOWELS CARRY EBOLA.” Team president Mark Lamping said Curtis Dvorak, who has played the mascot since 1996, “made an extremely poor decision” and apologized “to anyone who was offended.” (Associated Press) Ebola protective clothing will be popular this Halloween, according to social media, where users are posting costumes based on Ebola emergency responders wearing goggles, rubber gloves and full-body suits.

come a key weapon in the fight against the Ebola virus. The device, developed by Xenex and used in 250 U.S. hospitals, relies on a xenon bulb to emit powerful ultraviolet light, which fuses the DNA of a virus and kills it. Xenex’s Mark Stibich added that the germ-zapping robot, dubbed “Little Moe,” could rid a hospital room of germs in five minutes and destroy Ebola on any surface in two minutes.

SECOND-AMENDMENT FOLLIES - A 21-year-old man who’d just bought a handgun was openly carrying it on a street in Gresham, Ore., when a stranger approached and asked for a cigarette. As the men talked about the new gun, police said the stranger pulled his own gun from his waistband and announced, “I like your gun. Give it to me.” The victim handed over his gun, and the robber ran away. (Portland’s KPTV-TV)

BUZZ KILLS - Three state pot shops in Washington stopped selling a marijuana-fortified drink after bottles exploded on the shelves. “It sounded like a shotgun going off,” Zach Henfin, manager of Top Shelf Cannabis in Bellingham, said. He removed remaining bottles to a steel box the size of a small dumpster outside the store, where they continued to explode randomly for the next 10 days. Manufacturer Mirth Provisions blamed the explosions on a batch of sparkling pomegranate soda with “a higher yeast concentration” and promised the stores refunds. “Sometimes when you’re creating new products in a new marketplace,” Mirth founder Adam Stites said, “there’s a little bit of a learning curve.” (United Press International) Looking to broaden their market, Colorado pot shops began selling marijuana aimed at beginners. It’s available in edibles, following reports of first-time users becoming ill after eating medical-grade pot without knowing how much of the psychoactive drug THC to consume. New low-dose products include a marijuana-infused soda 15 times weaker than other brands and “Rookie Cookie,” which contains 10 milligrams of THC, a mild dose for adults. “For a long time, the medical market was a race to the strongest edible,” Holden Sproul, who works for the maker of Rookie Cookie, said. “Now it’s a new market, and people want something that won’t get them so inebriated they’re not functional.” (International Business Times) Marijuana growers in northern California and southern Oregon threaten coho salmon already facing extinction, according to a California Department of Fish and Wildlife study. It estimated pot growers siphon off millions of gallons of water from streams where young salmon struggle to survive. Other threats by legally and illegally grown pot include clear-cutting forests to create pot plantations, building roads that send sediment into salmon streams, and spreading fertilizer and pesticides that poison the water. “Logging is regulated. Vineyards are regulated. It is time this industry was willing to be regulated,” said environmental scientist Scott Bauer, the study’s lead author. (Associated Press) The Pacific fisher is increasingly falling victim to rat poison used by illegal marijuana growers in the Pacific Northwest, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. As a result, the agency wants the cat-sized mammal related to the weasel officially declared an endangered species. (The Washington Times)

SCOFFLAW FOLLIES - While writing a speeding ticket for Julius Lupowitz in West Melbourne, Fla., police Officer Ted Salem heard a radio call about an attempted murder nearby. Salem was abandoning the traffic stop to respond to the priority call but caught the 911 operator announcing that the emergency caller was Julius Lupowitz. “When she broadcast that information, our officer was standing at the door of Mr. Lupowitz’s vehicle and realized it was the same person making the 911 calls,” police official Richard Cordeau said. Lupowitz apparently made two anonymous emergency calls, hoping the officer would respond rather than write the speeding ticket, but the operator traced the caller’s phone number. Lupowitz now risks a third-degree felony charge that could net five years in jail — and he still received the $209 speeding ticket. (Orlando’s WFTV-TV) NEVER MIND - A resident of Holywood in Northern Ireland complained to police about a banner with yellow stars and blue background, which the caller believed to be an Arab flag. Officers responded, but “no offense was detected,” an official said, explaining that the banner was a European Union flag flown in golfer Rory McIlroy’s hometown to mark Europe’s Ryder Cup victory.

Playing the part Bill Murray does his best with the showy St. Vincent by Scott Renshaw

Caddyshack: The Later Years?

There are times when it feels like filmmakers are writing Characters, and there are times when it feels like they’re writing Parts. And while this may seem like merely a semantic distinction, St. Vincent is a perfect example to the contrary. Because while a Character is created as something out of which a story emerges, a Part is created to appeal to an actor. A Part has “moments”—catchy lines of dialogue or big speeches or emotional breakdowns. Both can be executed on the page well or badly, and both can be performed well or badly, but they’re still fundamentally aiming for a very different audience response. Characters may be great pieces of writing, but Parts? Well, Parts get noticed when people talk about awards. Writer/director Theodore Melfi has given Bill Murray a classic Part in St. Vincent. Murray plays Vincent MacKenna, a Brooklyn native who’s introduced to us as the kind of guy Charles Bukowski would think was living a bit too hard—an alcoholic in dangerous debt from gambling on horse races, living in a disastrously messy, underwater-mortgaged house with only his cat as company. But he’s still got enough life in him that he can throw down a funky solo dance to Jefferson Airplane’s “Somebody to Love.” Vincent’s got your attention. Parts have a way of doing that. The plot thickens when new neighbors move in next door: newly-single-mom Maggie (Melissa McCarthy) and her 12-year-old son, Oliver ( Jaeden Lieberher). Maggie’s new job as a CAT scan tech at a local hospital has her working late hours, so she needs someone to keep an eye on Oliver when he comes home from school; Vincent needs cash. And so Vincent comes to take Oliver under his dissolute wing. The surrogate-father relationship drives most of St. Vincent, providing awkward moments like Vincent taking Oliver with him to the track or his local bar, and the gradual softening of the misanthropic caretaker that is fundamental to stories of this kind. When bullied, Oliver needs somebody to show him how to stand up for himself and a disgusted Vincent steps in to teach Oliver a few tricks; it’s like Bad Santa, if what

[24] Missoula Independent • October 23–October 30, 2014

Bad Santa really wanted for Christmas was to be The Karate Kid. But the problem with St. Vincent isn’t merely that it’s schematic; it’s that it’s so schematic. It doesn’t take much time before we see Vincent visiting a patient in an Alzheimer’s care facility, whose relationship to him is fairly clear from the outset. He looks out for the health care needs of the pregnant Russian prostitute (Naomi Watts, accent-acting her ass off ) he frequents. And we see Oliver’s religious studies teacher (Chris O’Dowd) assign the students the task of creating a biography of someone they consider a real-life modern-day saint, and it’s a complete mystery who Oliver might consider as his subject if you forget the name of the movie you’re watching. The fortunate part is that the performances really are strong enough to carry St. Vincent through most of its clunky manipulations. Murray aims for something more than “get off my lawn” curmudgeonliness, finding sparks of funky energy that give Vincent vitality beyond his asshole-in-need-of-redemption roots. Young Lieberher is also pretty solid in a convincing take on adolescent geekiness, and McCarthy nicely underplays the role of a struggling mom trying to figure out her new identity. When those three are playing off one another—the less said about Watts’ thankless role, the better, really—St. Vincent hits more than a few funny, satisfying moments. But there’s a degree of calculation at the heart of this movie that makes it impossible to become immersed in it, no matter how sloppily appealing Murray may be in individual scenes. The whole thing is built to reach its crescendo during Oliver’s school assembly presenting his report on “saints among us,” where our emotionally wounded anti-hero will realize that somebody gets him, having found his humanity in scenes that might as well come with a sign reading “LOOK FOR HUMANITY HERE.” Where actors get a chance to disappear into Characters, St. Vincent shows us what’s expected to happen when actors get Parts: They stand at center stage, receiving an award, waiting for everyone to applaud. St. Vincent opens at the Carmike 12 Fri., Oct. 24. arts@missoulanews.com

Floor-lickin’ good by Ari LeVaux Pity the tomatillo, one of the most ignored and misunderstood of all produce items. When I see them at the farmers market, languishing in the stalls of growers who would otherwise be on their way home were it not for their tomatillos, I’m reminded of the last kid to get picked for a kickball team. Nobody values their talents or knows what to do with them, except to make salsa. And honestly, it’s hard to argue that tomatillo salsa is any better than tomato salsa. The true strength of this fruit lies elsewhere: my chile verde. I call it “my” chile verde recipe, but it’s adapted from bits and pieces I’ve picked up from other recipes. Of course, the descendants of Aztecs and Mayans have been combining chile, tomatillos and meat for millennia. I kept messing with my recipe until it got to the point of such awesomeness that, when a housemate once knocked a finished batch off the counter before dinner one night, the five-second rule was cast out the window. We scooped it off the floor and into bowls with a spatula, and ate it without hesitation. Aztec wordsmiths honored the unusual architecture of the tomatillo with the name miltomatl, which means “round and plump with paper.” Almost 2,000 years later, people are still captivated by the fruit’s appearance—only to bring some home, discover their strange, tart flavor and say “Hmm.” They proceed to search online for tomatillo salsa recipes. If they only knew. Chile verde is a simple dish, but so rich and complex that one might expect it to be harder to prepare than it is. The ingredients combine into something greater than the sum of their parts, such that the finished product can make an average cook look like a genius. Pork is typically used, but most any meat will do. I like it with deer, and recently made a batch with lamb, which resulted in a dish that tasted like something from an Indian restaurant. It seems that chile verde can do no wrong. The tomatillos’ tartness penetrates the meat, tenderizing it and creating new flavor combinations. Meanwhile, the tomatillo becomes transformed into a surprisingly rich and edible version of itself, with a softer, less tart, and less strange flavor. Here’s my recipe for Floor Lickin’ Chile Verde: Ingredients: 1 pound tomatillos 1 pound meat (pork, lamb, venison, beef ) 1 pound chile peppers (the more variety, the better. Poblanos, jalapeños, bell peppers, dried red chile ... whatever capsicum you’ve got, fresh or dried. Di-

FLASH IN THE PAN

versity of chile is what gives each batch of chile verde its unique fingerprint. I wish I could remember the mix that went into the batch we ate off the floor.) 2 cups chopped cilantro 1 large onion, chopped 1 head garlic 5 bay leaves Red wine for cooking (I wouldn’t cook with a wine I wouldn’t drink) 1 tablespoon cumin powder or crushed cumin 1 tablespoon garlic powder Cut the meat into 1-inch-or-smaller cubes, and brown it in the pan or under the broiler. Using a tender cut of meat makes the job a bit simpler. After browning, tough cuts of meat should be braised in 3 parts water and 1 part red wine, with 5 or so bay leaves and a sprinkle of salt. Bake at 300 degrees in a covered dish until the meat softens, adding more water and wine as necessary. With your meat in an oiled pan on medium heat, cook until it begins to sizzle and add the onion and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin. When the onions are translucent, add 1 quart of chicken stock (or jus from your braising) to the pan. Simmer for 30 minutes. As the meat simmers, the next steps take place in the food processor. Remove and discard the husks from the tomatillos, slice them in half and puree, along with the cilantro, garlic and chile peppers—trimmed and deseeded as necessary per your heat tolerance. If you have some green tomatoes that you picked off the vine before the big freeze, you can throw them in as well. (Note: If you want to chicken out here and just make tomatillo salsa, your work is essentially done. Add some chopped onions and start dipping your chips. But understand that you will be missing out on the culinary experience of a lifetime.) Stir this mush into the meat pan and simmer for another hour or two on low heat, seasoning with salt and pepper, stirring frequently and adding water or stock as necessary. When you’re ready to be done cooking, stop adding water and allow the gravy to thicken. Serve with tortillas or rice, or in a bowl, like soup. The prep time in chile verde is reasonably short, but the cook time, ideally, is long. Whether made with a succulent piece of pork or a slow-cooked lamb shank, chile verde is a dish worth waiting for. And if necessary, it’s a dish worth eating off a dirty floor.

MOUNTAIN HIGH INTRO DANCE CLASSES AT UM!

he new Sentinel Hill Climb, hosted by the Runner’s Edge, is a challenging calf-burner on a trail that’s near and dear to most Missoulians—and you can most likely peruse the course conditions just by looking out your window, since the climb aims for the top of Mount Sentinel. (Runners and hikers alike are welcome to test their mettle at the climb.) The course begins at the base of the “M” trail. After passing the M, runners and hikers can choose whether to tough it out on the steep northwest ridge route or the fire road on the West Face, which is about a half a mile longer route to the top. Either way, it’s 1,970 feet of elevation gain over less than three miles.

No matter how long it takes to huff it up those hills, there’s post-race hot cocoa and Great Harvest Bread Co. treats, plus cash awards for the King and Queen of the climb and prizes for various age division. And adding to the warm glow, proceeds from the race benefit the exuberant athletes of the UM Triathlon Team. —Kate Whittle Prepare for one M hiker to rule them all at the Mount Sentinel Hill Climb, Sun., Oct. 26. $25. 9 AM. Cocoa and treats provided after. Visit runnersedgemt.com. Proceeds benefit the UM Triathlon Team.

The Four Tops wanted nothing to do with a “protest song” during the late ’60s and early ’70s. But Marvin Gaye, whose brother served in Vietnam, felt differently. When Four Tops member Obie Benson first presented Gaye with a rough version of a song he was working on, Gaye heard something that spoke to a country in turmoil. He reworked the melody, tweaked the lyrics based on his brother’s experiences (made it “more ghetto,” Benson said) and, in 1971, Gaye released “What’s Going On,” widely regarded as one of the greatest songs of all time. It’s easy to lose track of just what made that four-minute track so influential, but for a generation of Americans—particularly Vietnam veterans—the song asked the very question so many were asking. The history of the Vietnam War has been told through textbooks and documentaries, dramatic movies and museum exhibits, but authors Doug Bradley and Hugo Doug Bradley Keesing are working to revisit the era through a more evocative and expressive presentations that delve into the music of an era—and specifically what it meant from a solmedium: music.

FASTEN YOUR BIBLE BELT My boyfriend and I are spending Christmas with his family. I like them and get along well with them. However, they're very religious, and he wants me to join them in going to holiday church services. I grew up secular in a conservative town, and because of all I went through, I developed a deep distaste for religion. His family knows I'm an atheist but doesn't know the extent of my aversion to religion. I explained to my boyfriend that the idea of sitting through church and going through the motions, given how I feel about religion, is downright upsetting to me. Though he's no longer religious, he doesn't share my aversion, and he insists I go out of respect for him and his family. Should I just go and grin and bear it as a favor to him? —I'm (Not) A Believer It's Jesus' birthday, but seeing as you guys aren't that close, you figured he wouldn't mind if you skipped it. Believe it or not, this isn't the first time religion has caused tension in the world. And sure, there's something to be said for doing things you aren't exactly into to please your partner. However, going to somebody's religious service as an atheist who's seriously upset by religion isn't quite the same as "grinning and bearing it" at the opera. You probably aren't opposed to Verdi on principle, and it's unlikely to call up childhood memories like "My mommy says your mommy is in bed with the devil" and fun neighborhood games like "Burn The Little Heathen At The Stake." The problem started when your boyfriend decided that you just had to go and used the "respect!" argument to try to guilt you into giving in. This is lowblow, crush-the-competition arguing. (What can you even counter with—"Nah, I don't want to show respect for your parents!"?) Of course, when two people partner up, there will always be disagreements. But in a relationship, winning really isn't everything. Having a difference of opinion without trying to do to your partner what Hitler did to Poland, that's everything. We can understand this intellectually. The problem is, we're all essentially large, bratty children. We want what we want when we want it, and we want Miss Perkins to turn around so we can hit little Jason over the head with a toy truck until

he gives it to us. Behavioral economist Daniel Kahneman explains in "Thinking, Fast and Slow" that our instinctive emotional system is our brain's first responder—taking over long before our rational system (the janitor that cleans up after our impulses) even decides to get out of bed. So opting for a more adult approach to disagreements requires preplanning— sitting down with your partner before you're in conflict mode and making a pact to fight not to win but to understand where the other person's coming from. When you find yourselves at odds, instead of hammering each other with what you want, explain why you want it; lay out the emotions behind it. Focusing on each other's feelings—truly focusing, not just pretending to listen until you can get back to selling your points—should lead you to be moved by each other's fears or distress. This, in turn, should inspire a more compassionate and constructive response. For example, if instead of telling you "You have to go with us to church!" your boyfriend says something like "I just want my family to like you," his push to get you into a pew sounds more like something he's trying to do for you than to you. This allows you to respond lovingly to him, reassuring him that his family already likes you (despite not quite understanding your blase attitude toward burning in hell for all eternity). For this mode of conflict management to work, you have to accept that some differences just can't be bridged. Still, discussing them in a way that makes you both feel respected and understood should at least leave you feeling good about each other and the relationship. In this situation, the reality is, your being a nonbeliever could ultimately be a big problem for his parents. But you show your respect by acting respectful to them—maybe welcoming them back from Mass with a punchbowl of your famous eggnog—not by disrespecting your own beliefs and going to church "just this once," which sets a bad precedent. If all goes well, they'll just accept your choices. Otherwise, you may have to resign yourself to spending Christmas week in bed— tied to it, while Granny and the dog assist the priest who's performing the exorcism on you..

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The driest place on the planet is the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. It gets about a half-inch of rain per year. And yet in 2011, archaeologists discovered that it's also home to a site containing the fossilized skeletons of numerous whales and other ancient sea creatures. I'm detecting a metaphorically comparable anomaly in your vicinity, Aries. A seemingly arid, empty part of your life harbors buried secrets that are available for you to explore. If you follow the clues, you may discover rich pickings that will inspire you to revise your history. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Businessman Warren Buffet is worth $65.5 billion, but regularly gives away 27 percent of his fortune to charity. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates owns $78 billion, and donates 36 percent. Then there are the members of the Walton family, owners of Walmart, where 100 million Americans shop weekly. The Waltons have $136 billion, of which they contribute .04 percent to good causes. You are not wealthy in the same way these people are, Taurus. Your riches consist of resources like your skills, relationships, emotional intelligence, creative power, and capacity for love. My invitation to you is to be extra generous with those assets—not as lavish as Buffet or Gates, perhaps, but much more than the Waltons. You are in a phase when giving your gifts is one of the best things you can do to bolster your own health, wealth, and well-being. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You have two options. You can be in denial about your real feelings and ignore what needs to be fixed and wait for trouble to come find you. Or else you can vow to be resilient and summon your feistiest curiosity and go out searching for trouble. The difference between these two approaches is dramatic. If you mope and sigh and hide, the messy trouble that arrives will be indigestible. But if you are brave and proactive, the interesting trouble you get will ultimately evolve into a blessing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Astronauts on the International Space Station never wash their underwear. They don't have enough water at their disposal to waste on a luxury like that. Instead, they fling the dirty laundry out into space. As it falls to Earth, it burns up in the atmosphere. I wish you had an amenity like that right now. In fact, I wish you had a host of amenities like that. If there was ever a time when you should be liberated from having to wash your underwear, make your bed, sweep the floor, and do the dishes, it would be now. Why? Because there are much better ways to spend your time. You've got sacred quests to embark on, heroic adventures to accomplish, historical turning points to initiate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the English-speaking world, a sundae is a luxurious dessert that features ice cream topped with sweet treats like syrup, sprinkles, and fruits. In Korea, a sundae is something very different. It consists of a cow's or pig's intestines crammed with noodles, barley, and pig's blood. I expect that in the coming week you will be faced with a decision that has metaphorical similarities to the choice between a sundae and a sundae. Make sure you are quite clear about the true nature of each option.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The average serving of pasta on a typical American's plate is almost 480 percent bigger than what's recommended as a healthy portion. So says a research paper titled "The Contribution of Expanding Portion Sizes to the U.S. Obesity Epidemic," by Lisa R. Young and Marion Nestle. Muffins are 333 percent larger than they need to be, the authors say, and steaks are 224 percent excessive. Don't get caught up in this trend, Libra. Get what you need, but not way, way more than what you need. For that matter, be judicious in your approach to all of life's necessities. The coming phase is a time when you will thrive by applying the Goldilocks principle: neither too much nor too little, but just right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the coming weeks I hope you will find practical ways to express your new-found freedom. All the explorations and experiments you have enjoyed recently were fun and provocative, but now it's time to use the insights they sparked to upgrade your life back in the daily grind. Please don't misunderstand what I'm saying. I love it when you are dreamy and excitable and farseeing, and would never ask you to tone down those attractive qualities. But I am also rooting for you to bring the high-flying parts of you down to earth so that you can reap the full benefits of the bounty they have stirred up. If you work to become more well-grounded, I predict that you will be situated in a new power spot by December 1.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The heavy metal band known as Hatebeak broadened the definition of what constitutes music. Its lead singer was Waldo, an African grey parrot. A review by Aquarius Records called Waldo's squawks "completely and stupidly brilliant." For Hatebeak's second album, they collaborated with animal rights' activists in the band Caninus, whose lead vocalists were two pitbull terriers, Basil and Budgie. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I'd love to see you get inspired by these experiments. I think you will generate interesting results as you explore expansive, even unprecedented approaches in your own chosen field.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are you ready to be as affable as a Sagittarius, as charismatic as a Leo, as empathetic as a Cancerian, and as vigorous an instigator as an Aries? No? You're not? You're afraid that would require you to push yourself too far outside your comfort zone? OK, then. Are you willing to be half as affable as a Sagittarius, half as charismatic as a Leo, half as empathetic as a Cancerian, and half as inspiring an instigator as an Aries? Or even a quarter as much? I hope you will at least stretch yourself in these directions, Capricorn, because doing so would allow you to take maximum advantage of the spectacular social opportunities that will be available for you in the next four weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are entering a phase when you will have more luck than usual as you try to banish parasitic influences, unworthy burdens, and lost causes. Here are some projects you might want to work on: 1. Bid farewell to anyone who brings out the worst in you. 2. Heal the twisted effect an adversary has had on you. 3. Get rid of any object that symbolizes failure or pathology. 4. Declare your independence from a situation that wastes your time or drains your resources. 5. Shed any guilt you feel for taking good care of yourself. 6. Stop a bad habit cold turkey.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Children are the most desirable opponents at Scrabble," declares Scorpio author Fran Lebowitz, "as they are both easy to beat and fun to cheat." I don't wholeheartedly endorse that advice for you in the coming days, Scorpio. But would you consider a milder version of it? Let's propose, instead, that you simply seek easy victories to boost your confidence and hone your skills. By this time next week, if all goes well, you will be ready to take on more ambitious challenges

INSTRUCTION

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What are those new whisperings in your head? Are they messages from your inner teacher? Beacons beamed back through time from the Future You? Clues from the wise parts of your unconscious mind? Whatever they are, Leo, pay attention. These signals from the Great Beyond may not be clear yet, but if you are sufficiently patient, they will eventually tell you how to take advantage of a big plot twist. But here's a caveat: Don't automatically believe every single thing the whisperings tell you. Their counsel may not be 100-percent accurate. Be both receptive and discerning toward them.
