STREET TALK

by Cathrine L. Walters

Asked Tuesday, Nov. 11, on the University of Montana campus. Winter weather has arrived. What’s your secret for staying warm during the colder months? Follow-up: Cold weather means hockey. Do you follow the greatest game on ice?

Will Davidson: I do what’s called “building hop.” There are trails that go from building to building (across campus) where you can hop in to stay warm. The Liberal Arts building is good because there are three doors on either side. Wings man: I do. I follow Detroit.

Leo Michelin: I just need gloves. I could be wearing shorts and so long as my upper body is warm, I’m okay. I’m from Brazil so this is new, but I love snowboarding so I just get active. Winter can be a real drag if you don’t go out and do stuff. Penalty box: No, I don’t. We don’t have hockey in Brazil.

Shelby Skauge: Heated seats in my car and mittens and hats. I'm an inside sitby-the-fire kind of person. Blades of glory: Not really. When it comes down to the Frozen Four I’m really into it, but outside of that? Not so much.

The right choice As a western Montana resident, angel investor and entrepreneur, I couldn’t be happier to learn about the changes coming to Community Medical Center through its partnership with Billings Clinic RegionalCare. I support this partnership because it ensures western Montanans will continue to have options when it comes to quality health care. Greater hospital competition will lead to more innovative, efficient and affordable care. A recent Journal of the American Medical Association article stated that for-profit hospitals do not translate into higher costs for patients. Community Medical Center will begin paying taxes to support essential services in the Missoula area at a time Missoula has suffered from delinquent payments from SmurfitStone and the potential loss of Mountain Water. Best of all, Billings Clinic’s affiliation with the Mayo Clinic will continue to put Missoula on the map as a great place to do get quality care, start a business and raise a family. I’m also glad to hear that Billings Clinic and RegionalCare Hospital Partners are committed to preserving the jobs of employees and to continuing Community’s current charity care policy. A Montana-based provider that sets a standard for excellent care across the state is absolutely the right choice for the hospital’s future. This partnership means greater investment in the staff, physicians, and patients across Western Montana who rely on Community Medical Center. If you agree, please consider writing Attorney General Tim Fox in support of this partnership: dojmt.gov/consumer/for-consumers/cmc-public-comments. You can also learn more and ask questions about the process at communitysfuture.org. Liz Marchi Polson

Not just a local issue May Tavarez: I just got an automatic starter for my car so I can stand in my living room and start it and adjust the heat. I also like to use my energy to stay warm and love going snowboarding. Puck bunny: No, but I think [the Maulers] are cute. I would go see them play, but I work.

Hana Sara Ito: Move around as much as possible when I’m outside. I bike around town or walk with as much energy as possible, like marching swiftly with jazz hands. What the puck? I don’t. I don’t really understand hockey because I grew up in Hawaii where it’s not a huge sport. But I’ve gone to some of the adult league games here and had fun.

I’m a climber who’s relatively new to Missoula. The first time I hiked into Mill Creek Recreation Area, I was astonished by the considerable time and effort someone had spent obscuring the trail. Huge logs and felled trees were scattered haphazardly across the path, and it took quite a bit of backtracking and bushwhacking to get to the crag. I was puzzled. I lived in Bozeman for three years (and climbed frequently in the Gallatin Canyon and other popular spots outside of town) and I’ve visited many climbing destinations around the country, but I had never seen an approach that looked like this. I did some research. I found a series of recent, vehement letters to the editors of local papers, written by residents in the Bitterroot Valley and members of the Western Montana Climbers Coalition. As is often the case, the controversy over Mill Creek’s use

has valid voices and opinions on either side. The question residing at the heart of the controversy seems to be this: have climbers worked to develop ethical, low-impact standards in partnership with locals when developing climbing areas? Critics argue that climbers have created illegal trails, left climbing equipment hanging on the cliffs, constructed hazardous belay stations, negatively impacted the area’s vegetation and overcrowded the parking space. Some of these accusations may be true (the parking area is small and climbers often leave draws hang-

“Can we trust the newly elected senator to restore funding for vaccines production?”

ing up on new projects). What struck me the day I went to Mill Creek, however, was the erosion caused by people trying to get to the crag while circumventing the obstructions. I can’t speak with authority about the validity of accusations on either side of this debate. What I can offer, as a climber who cares about access and protecting the beautiful places where we recreate, is the suggestion that this dilemma presents an important opportunity for climbers to engage in meaningful dialogue with interested parties. This isn’t just a local problem. Nationwide, the climbing community faces access issues due to poor behavior at the crag. We need to promote increased education and awareness within the climbing community, especially as the sport’s popularity grows and more climbers than ever are transitioning from the gym to the outdoors. Megan McInerney Missoula

Restore funding It is reassuring to hear that there are no cases of Ebola to report from the dozens of Dallas residents who had contact with the only U.S. diagnosed Ebola fatality, after their 21-day monitoring period. Nigeria also provided the good news that it is now free of the virus. So, it can be contained. But it is admitted that the world acted

too slowly during the early stages of the epidemic in Liberia, and that the emerging strain is somewhat more virulent than those encountered in the past. In that regard, the head of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, Francis Collins, recently stated that a vaccine likely would have already been discovered were it not for budget cuts. For that we cite sequestration, government shutdown and continuing attacks on the federal health budget, including provisions of the Affordable Care Act. We can trace much of this “war on health” to the Tea Party faction of the GOP in the U.S. House of Representatives, such as our very own Steve Daines. Can we trust the newly elected senator to restore funding for vaccines production? Trust is not a word that enters my mind as one of his qualities, given his shameless use of Marine Corps vets in that infamous campaign flyer that shows them meeting with him—an incident that never occurred. Mike Chessin Missoula

We can do better Positive early experiences forge the foundations for lifelong learning and behavior. And, to optimize the development of each child, a rich nurturing environment is required. Study after study validates the need for and the benefits of early childhood education. Evaluations of quality pre-kindergarten programs have found that children exposed to high-quality early education were less likely to drop out of school, repeat grades, or need special education, compared with similar children who did not have such exposure. High quality pre-K can no longer be considered a luxury for upper income families or a special program for the disadvantaged. Based on what we now know about children's brain development during these crucial years, pre-K has become just as necessary as kindergarten or first grade. Unfortunately, most Montana families are not able to access quality early childhood education programs for their children. These children miss the window of opportunity to develop social, emotional and cognitive skills in a high-quality early childhood education environment. Montana is one of only eight states in the nation that does not provide a publicly funded early education program to its children. We can do better. It is important that our state invest more energy and dollars in universal pre-K so Montana can create a brighter future for our children, workforce, and Montana’s economy. Please support Gov. Steve Bullock’s efforts to help Montana children become all that they can be. Sharon DiBrito Florence

Student sues for privacy University of Montana law student Daniel Knudsen filed suit against UM this week over alleged violations of privacy rights. Knudsen’s complaint, filed on behalf of all UM students from spring 2010 to the present, claims the university illegally released personally identifiable information to Connecticut-based Higher One Holdings, a vendor that handles UM’s electronic refunds. Higher One, which currently offers services to roughly 13 million students nationwide, signed its fiveyear contract with UM in May 2010. The company then mailed debit cards to students for use in distributing electronic refunds. Knudsen says he never requested the card, and that his personal information—name, address, social security number, etc.—was transmitted to the company without his permission. “Nowhere along the line did I give any consent for this or did I agree to use this card,” Knudsen says. UM Director of Business Services John McCormick maintains that the student information UM sent to Higher One is allowable by the U.S. Department of Education. Vice President for Integrated Communications Peggy Kuhr

adds Higher One was essentially “standing in UM’s shoes.” “We feel very strongly that we protected the claimant’s privacy,” Kuhr says. Higher One has drawn criticism for years because of fees associated with its student debit cards. Several student governments have sought to kick Higher One off their campuses, among them the Associated Students of the University of Montana, which called on university officials to cancel UM’s Higher One contract in fall 2012. McCormick says UM decided about two years ago not to extend its contract with Higher One. Of the criticism surrounding the company at the time, he adds “all that came in to affect the decision.” This February, Higher One reached a $15 million settlement in a class action lawsuit brought forward by students in eight states accusing the company of deceptive practices relating to its fees. Higher One maintained in the agreement that it had not violated any laws. Knudsen feels his case is the next step forward for UM students, and is possible primarily due to the stringency of Montana’s state-level privacy laws. He claims UM refuses to stop sharing student information with Higher One until its contract with the company expires in June 2015. “I didn’t ask the university to pay me any damages

At first, it sounds like a rhetorical question: “How do you beautify a basement?” But Aimee McQuilkin, owner of Hip Strip boutique Betty’s Divine, has an answer: “You make it look like a trailer.” McQuilkin is talking about her plans to buy a 100year-old building on South Higgins Avenue, move Betty’s into the main floor and partner with Betty’s manager Miranda Hickox to open a new, “highly curated,” trailerthemed consignment shop called Divine Trash in the basement. These plans began to take shape in August, when McQuilkin found out the A.J. Gibson-designed brick building that was home to Selvedge Studio would soon be vacant and for sale. Though sad to see Selvedge go, McQuilkin recognized an opportunity to refresh a business she’s spent 10 years growing from nothing. After deciding she wanted to buy the building, McQuilkin’s first call was to the Montana Community Devel-

THIN LINES

Live a Little, the new—and possibly last—Pancakes album from Mikki Lunda (who just moved to Seattle) and Kaylen Krebsbach, sounds indulgently lush. It’s no small achievement to coax thick arrangements from the sounds of the early 1990s, a period that muddled the line between synthesizer and parody. But songs like “Sugar & Salt” and “Mutual ExBoyfriend” find danceable beats in keyboard dream pop, as if the club were filled with cotton candy. It’s chamber pop, party music for small, warm spaces. That intimate sound operates in contrast with the lyrics. The words on Live a Little generally center on

an expressive phrase rolled around with found text or automatic writing. It makes the lyrics light and playful but also emotionally distant. That’s obviously a choice, and Pancakes pulls it off artfully. But the instrumentation on Live a Little manages a few moments so graceful and affecting that I want to associate them with bold statements, not pie ingredients. That urge to hear more makes Live a Little one of those small, quiet albums. It’s like a well-composed Polaroid: better for appearing in that kitschy frame. There we all were. The camera doesn’t lie, and yet you wish it would tell you one more thing. (Dan Brooks)

Sons of Bill, Love & Logic For a “Southern” band, Virginia’s Sons of Bill doesn’t sound particularly Southern. Not in the way that a band like, for comparison’s sake, Drive-By Truckers do. There are some similarities with the Truckers beyond having multiple lead vocalists, at least as it relates to their last few records: a slower pace, bigger production with vocal harmonies, some literary leanings, etc. But where the Truckers still bring a lot of grit to their bleaker musical storytelling, Sons of Bill keeps things pretty clean. It is more of an Anywhere, USA, AOR-style band, meaning it sounds like it could have as easily come from Illinois or Nebraska as anywhere south of the Mason/Dixon line. Whether you’re 20 or 50, odds are your parents aren’t going to find it at all offensive. The tracks on the band’s second record, Love & Logic, alternate consistently between mid and slow

tempos. After only a couple spins it is difficult to really find a rhythm to the tracklist, but that could possibly come after multiple listens. “Landslide” is a tune that certainly hints the band—comprised of brothers Sam, Abe and James Wilson—is capable of straight ahead rock-n-rolling, but the standouts to my ears are two slower songs, “Road to Canaan” and the title track. “Road” features a gentle acoustic guitar figure and a gorgeous male/female harmony thanks to Leah Blevins’ backup vocals. As piano, slide and a hint of percussion sneak in toward the end, the atmosphere swells beautifully. It is a lovely capture of an excellent song. (Chris La Tray) Sons of Bill plays Stage 112 Thu., Nov. 20, at 9 PM with the David Wax Museum. $12/$10 advance at stage112.com.

Rancid, Honor is All We Know Tim Armstrong turned 30 the year Rancid released …And Out Come the Wolves. I distinctly remember being scandalized to learn that sometime during 1995, when the possibility of aging seemed like a violation of first principles. Nineteen years later on Honor Is All We Know, Rancid is doing almost exactly the same thing it was too old for back then. The title is basically a confession. Armstrong and company are the unfrozen caveman lawyer of punk rock: grotesquely alive in a world that has surpassed them, they have become genius idiots. Rancid has kept it real for two decades, even though the band

still sounds kind of fake. It could have released Honor Is All We Know in place of 1998’s Life Won’t Wait, and it would not have been a striking departure. Maybe honor toward their particular brand of third-wave pop punk really is all this band knows. You can decide whether that’s a good review. I personally haven’t aged since 1999—I’ve just gotten bigger and funnier—so Honor Is All We Know sounds delightful to me. Whether that constitutes aesthetic unity or middle-aged stagnation is another question. But at least we avoided a Voodoo Lounge scenario. (Dan Brooks)

Love, fear, oil The Overnighters offers a must-see Bakken tale by Nick Davis

We didn’t start the fire…

The story told by The Overnighters transcends its one-sentence description—in this case, it would be something like “an in-depth look at how a North Dakota town struggles with the effects of the Bakken oil boom”—and ultimately delivers a timeless chapter in arguably the most timeless confrontation in human history: fear vs. love. And as in most truly great documentaries, the vehicle for that immense, collective story is an intensely personal portrayal of a single individual. When California-based director Jesse Moss perused the online page of the Williston, N.D., daily newspaper a few years ago, he was struck first by the very notion of a modern frontier town, and then further struck by the words of a local columnist, who advocated for townsfolk to open their arms to the influx of outsiders seeking well-paying jobs in nearby oil fields. That columnist was the Rev. Jay Reinke, pastor of the Concordia Lutheran Church, and his stance was particularly notable at the time because the body of Sherry Arnold, the Sidney schoolteacher who was murdered by two Colorado men looking for oil-field work, had been recently found in a shallow grave just outside of town. Local sentiment toward outsiders was not, as you can imagine, running at an all-time high. Reinke quite literally practiced what he preached. The sudden nature of the oil boom had overwhelmed Williston’s infrastructure, resulting in a maxed-out housing market that saw would-be oil workers scrambling for any covered space to lay their heads under at night. The pastor began what became the hugely controversial practice of opening the church’s doors to those unfortunates, offering them all the couch, pew and floor space he could. It should come as no surprise that many of these itinerant workers arrived toting significant amounts of baggage—the ranks of the church dwellers included registered sex offenders, drug addicts in varying stages of relapse and recovery, and others of generally unbalanced mental states.

[24] Missoula Independent • November 13–November 20, 2014

Moss shot The Overnighters over a span of nearly two years, and thus captures the inevitable showdown between Reinke and just about everybody else in Williston—church neighbors, city council, the editor of the local newspaper, even the elders of his own church—from its relatively quiet inception to its heartbreaking, slow-motion-trainwreck conclusion. The scale of the tale alone puts The Overnighters into must-see territory, but what makes it a complete mind-blower is the intimate level of access Moss achieved with his subjects. When he arrived in Williston for the first time, the director fell victim to the housing pinch and lived in the church alongside the rest of the overnighters during the first six months of shooting. The combination of a small budget and Moss’ particular style of verite dictated a one-man crew, and the astonishing honesty displayed in interviews and on-camera interactions speak volumes about Moss’ ability to integrate himself into his subjects’ daily routines. Again, the scope of these character portraits— from a strapping young Wisconsin farm boy to a hardluck Kentucky family man to a curiously self-aware and admittedly vindictive Californian who eventually delivers the Judas blow to the reverend and his program—elevate the film to rarefied air, but Moss finds an even higher gear in the portrayal of Reinke himself. The pastor is, without question, one of the most engaging, compelling and ultimately conflicted characters I’ve seen onscreen in years, fiction and non-fiction included. And the absolute bombshell dropped by Reinke and Moss at the end of the film… well, let’s just say it’s further proof that truth can indeed be stranger than fiction, and that you’ll need to see this one for yourself.

Stollen moments by Jule Banville A little less than a year ago, the Black Cat Bake Shop’s holiday stollen made a Top 10 list and things got crazy. Epicurious, the food website run by Condé Nast, named the Missoula shop’s fruit-pocked, streuseltopped bread among “10 Awesome All-American MailOrder Food Gifts.” The phone started ringing. The inbox started pinging. And an already nutty preChristmas rush had to amp up to get out hundreds of unexpected orders. Jack and Christy Wich, owners of Black Cat, are thinking things this year will be a touch more sane. But it’ll never be “normal.” “I’ve been thinking that our daughter, who’s 15, has never had a ‘normal’ Christmas,” says Christy. During Jacqueline Wich’s lifetime, Thanksgivingthrough-New-Year’s with her parents has always been all about the stollen. And until 2010, when the shop moved into its current home at 200 West Broadway, it all happened in her basement. Christy Wich doesn’t miss those days, when an initial request from a farmers market customer turned into a 24/7 baking operation in her house. But the Wiches aren’t looking to stop stollen. This one item out of dozens of specialty goods the bakery makes has evolved into an ingredient necessary for staying in business. That first year, when the shop wasn’t really a “shop” and only sold at the Missoula Farmers Market on North Higgins, they baked and sold about 30 loaves, distributing through addresses left on postcards. Last year, the shop sold and shipped about 3,000 loaves, just in the month of December. Customers can phone in or email their orders. They’ll pay about $25 a pop, plus extra for shipping. Each is individually giftwrapped and includes a handwritten card. As typical mail-order food gifts go, Jack Wich says, “we’re cheap.” And the stollen, which comes in both a traditional European variety and one proprietary to the Black Cat, lasts a lot longer than most. It’s loaded with butter, so it likes the cold and travels well. You can pop it in the fridge, slice off a hunk when you want and know that it’ll keep for the entire season. But don’t call it “fruit cake,” even though that’s the mistake Epicurious made. Sure, it’s got fruit and it’s got booze, “but some people, when you say ‘candied fruit,’ the gag reflex kicks in,” says Jack Wich, an accomplished pastry chef who tends not to pussyfoot around when he’s got something to say. “We don’t use the stuff that’s in this thick goop, like most of what you get in this country. The lemon tastes like lemon. The pears taste like pears.” Both varieties of Black Cat stollen are loaded with flavor and spices and ingredients—and I mentioned butter and booze, right?—but somehow the slices, even those thawed out from months in the freezer, are still delicate. It’s a trick no fruitcake can pull off.

[26] Missoula Independent • November 13–November 20, 2014

WHAT’S GOOD HERE

The European recipe originated with Wolfgang Friedrich, who’s been featured on the TV series “Great Chefs of the East” and whom Jack Wich worked under at the Sheraton Hotels. The difference between it and the one Jack tweaked are subtle, but distinct. The European version has lemon and orange citron imported from Switzerland and the fruit’s soaked for 24 hours in brandy instead of rum. Its main spice is cardamom and when it comes out, it’s coated in a lemon-vanilla sugar. The Black Cat version uses dried fruit grown in California—apricots, pears, plums—in addition to the currants and cranberries that are in both versions. The main spice in Jack Wich’s recipe is nutmeg. Both versions, once baked, get dipped in melted butter, because why not? But the Black Cat recipe lays on an almond streusel before it’s sprinkled with powdered sugar. That’s about as much as you’ll find out about how to make Black Cat’s stollen. During the holiday rush, the bakery has more than 20 employees. Two who’ve been with the Wiches for years know most of the recipe and are allowed to mix the dough. Mostly, though, that falls on Jack. No one else is allowed to prepare it start-to-finish and it’s not written down anywhere employees know about. “I can’t have someone getting that recipe and then giving it to someone else and then, next thing I know, Bernice’s is selling it,” he says about that other Missoula bakery. But what’s interesting about the stollen story, at this point, is it’s not terribly local. “We’re now shipping more out-of-state than in Montana,” says Jack. Each order is not unlike a game of six-degrees. For one example: Christy grew up in Montana and that’s how they ended up here, but she and Jack met when both worked at the Mayflower Hotel in D.C. From that job, they made a friend in Margaret Doubleday, who now lives in Falls Church, Va., and served the stollen one Christmas. Her family, mostly from Tennessee, now puts in an order of 15 to 20 loaves for a huge party they have each year. There are a lot of stories like that, where someone from Montana gives it as a gift and it just keeps spiraling. They’ve shipped stollen to all 50 states; they’ve sent it to Afghanistan, England, Germany. It’s a long way from the postcards and fax machines. For a lot of years, the shop worked on the honor system—they took orders, filled orders, shipped orders right away and asked people to send them a check when they could. “I’m sure we must have been screwed one or two times along the way, but mostly that wasn’t the case,” says Jack. Christy, who’s the keeper of those transactions, confirms. Every single person sent a check. One of them bounced. At this point, the Black Cat’s smoothed out the kinks and it’s prepared for what’s coming. So no one tell the Food Network what’s going on here. Deal?

Missoula Winter Public Market HANGRIEST HOUR Why you’re here: The end of Missoula’s outdoor market season is bittersweet for many of us. Locals bemoan the loss of easy access to homegrown food and handcrafted goods, and the opportunity to catch up with neighbors over coffee and pastries. Aiming to fill that void, vendors from all three downtown summer markets are creating a new indoor Missoula Winter Public Market, which opened Nov. 8. What you’re eating and drinking: Muffins, bear claws and coffee from Sister’s Sweet Shoppe, the Old World Bakery, Tilted Halo Gluten-Free Baked Goods and other western Montana businesses. Additional offerings include Lifeline cheese, Uncle Bill’s Sausages and locally grown veggies and fresh eggs. Why the winter market is good for the economy: It offers small businesses that might otherwise be shuttered for the winter an opportunity to sell their goods year round, says Pam Walzer, one of the market’s organizers. “They have to rely on farmers markets,” she says, “because they’re not big enough to go jump through the hoops to be certified and authorized to sell to grocery stores.” How to find it: The Hive, Missoula’s newest community space at 800 S.

Street W., is hosting the winter market Saturdays between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. through December, when it will likely be cut back to every other weekend. Walzer notes the market’s mission to strengthen the community and small businesses is in line with the Hive’s, so it’s fitting that the market’s grand opening marks the first public unveiling of the space. “It will be fun to see the change … from just a big open building to having all of us in there,” Walzer says. “Once all of the customers come in it’s going to be a lot of fun.” —Jessica Mayrer Hangriest Hour serves up fresh details on western Montana eats.

Right about now, some hot Latin rhythms and a glass of wine or two sounds awfully appealing, and Mexican-American singing legend Perla Batalla has just the ticket when she heats up the Missoula Winery this Sunday.

right, earning attention for her gorgeous voice. Batalla got her start as a backup singer with artists including Leonard Cohen, k.d. lang and the Gipsy Kings, before embarking on a solo career in the early ’90s. She once told an interviewer that she was unsure of where to go after working with Cohen. “Where else could you sing that quality of songs with that caliber of musician?” she said. “If there’s one thing being with Leonard taught me it was to be honest at all costs.” Since then, she’s done quite well, recording Grammy-nominated albums and performing around the world. In 2005, she released a cover album of her favorite Leonard Cohen tracks, Bird On the Wire. She’s also dipped into Hollywood, working as a vocal coach for actors including Jeremy Piven. At Batalla’s live shows, you can expect romantic Mexican ballads and salsa standards—and plenty of Leonard Cohen classics, too. —Kate Whittle

swine time Bringing home the bacon can sometimes be a dicey proposition. At least, it certainly was this past July for Matthew LaRubbio, manager of the historic Moon-Randolph homestead nestled in the hills above the Northside. That day, a rancher brought up a 600-pound boar to inseminate the Homestead sow, Farrah. Lacy Jane, LaRubbio’s friend, says it was a hot day, and LaRubbio was in the wrong place at the wrong time—and the agitated boar attacked LaRubbio, tearing his tusk into the man’s knee and tossing him into the air.

MOUNTAIN HIGH

e’re in a rough spot for outdoor recreation enthusiasts: summer’s water sports, mountain biking and trail running are at an end, but it’ll be weeks before the ski lifts can open. But it’s not too busy to start plotting adventures. The North Shore Nordic Club up in the Flathead offers a bright spot in these blah days with the annual Kick and Glide party at the Rack Shack in Somers, a couple hours north of Missoula. If you’re a cross-country skier, it’s a good chance to find out about recreation options in the Flathead. The family-friendly event puts on a spaghetti dinner feed, cash bar, dancing tunes from the Fetviet Brothers, silent auction and raffles for ski gear. Proceeds benefit the nonprofit club, which hosts races throughout the year and grooms the free public Nordic ski trails on Lakeside’s Blacktail Mountain and

the Bigfork Community Nordic Center. This year the club boasts a spiffy new John Deere Gator for grooming the trails. So as the press release says, “Come to the party and help us pay for the dang thing!” —Kate Whittle The annual Kick and Glide with the North Shore Nordic Club promises a swingin’ shindig to support the club Sat., Nov. 15. Head on up to the Rack Shack, 5480 Highway 93 in Somers, from 6-10 PM. $15/$12 in advance, $10/$8 in advance for kids.

Children stricken with cancer can use all the help they can get. The St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, based in Tennessee, is one of the most prominent organizations dedicated to combatting pediatric cancer. That research benefits hospitals around the country, including those in Missoula. The student fundraising nonprofit Up ‘Til Dawn organizes groups throughout the country to fundraise for St. Jude’s. In Missoula, the local chapter of UM students hosts its third annual Up ‘Til Dawn fundraiser, where students stay up until 6 AM in honor of the sleepless nights faced by families with sick children. Each participant must raise at least $132 to join in, which also gives them the chance to play games throughout the night and win prizes. The actual night of the event is just the finale, though. In the weeks leading up to it, community members are asked to help out by sponsoring one of the volunteers doing the all-night challenge. So far, UM students have raised more than $26,000. According to organizer Riley Moore, and their goal is

to reach $37,742, which covers the cost of an abovethe-knee prosthesis for a child who has lost a leg to osteosarcoma. —Kate Whittle UM students stay up all night starting Fri., Nov. 14, for the third annual Up 'Til Dawn challenge benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

THE AGONY OF DELETE I just had the humiliating experience of being dumped via email. I'd been seeing the guy for three months. Just days before, we had a romantic date, and he kept saying things like "We're so good together" and was very lovey-dovey. In the email, he said he realized that we aren't compatible, because I'm too driven and career-focused and he needs a more traditional woman. Why did he never mention this before? How does a guy who was very affectionate for months suddenly take to the computer to send you a quick note that it's over? I'm so hurt and confused by how he handled this. —Devastated Unfortunately, personal disasters like getting dumped get none of the funding and attention of natural disasters. There's no early warning system to make that annoying sound on your TV, and FEMA doesn't show up the day after with pallets of Kleenex and vodka. Making matters worse, this guy didn't just dump you; he robo-dumped you. It's okay to take to the Internet to break up with your cable company or somebody you've gone out with a few times. But once you have a relationship with a person, you owe it to them to sit down with them and tell them it's over; you don't get to shove your dirty work off on their phone, their computer, or their vacuum cleaner. Being willing to put yourself in misery's way and break up face to face preserves the other person's dignity—their feeling that they have value. "Subj: we r thru," on the other hand, suggests that they don't matter; their feelings don't matter; all that matters is discarding them in the most expedient way. The pre-Internet equivalent would be breaking up via postcard—maybe "Scenic Lake Minnetonka: Wish You Were Here!" but with the "Here!" crossed out and replaced with "Beer!" As for how a guy can be all snookieloviepoo one day and all "go away, career lady" the next, chances are, he fell in love— with the feeling of being in love. Early on, with all the sexytime hormones rushing, it's easy to forget to step back and do the "Hey, wonder whether we're compatible" check. Eventually, the hormone high wears off, and incompatibilities get highlighted instead of blurred. It's normal to feel guilty for not noting them sooner. But it's a stew of guilt and bad character that has a guy taking the e-weenie way out—telling you it's over

with a bonus link at the bottom informing you that there's never been a better time to enlarge your penis. When life gives you a wedgie, you can mitigate the hurt by reframing it as a protective experience—one that keeps you from falling into a similar hole in the future. Maybe you can use this to be mindful of asking questions, early on, about the kind of lifestyle and temperament a guy's most comfortable with, which could help you spot the red flags instead of using them as bedsheets. Weeding out the wrong guys fast will keep you on track to finding the right one—the man who wants a woman who's breaking through the glass ceiling instead of just getting up on a stepstool and Windexing it.

LOUVRE, ACTUALLY I'm really into this beautiful, funny girl I've been dating for three weeks. I think she likes me, but my gut says she's pulling away a little. If this fizzles, I'll be heartbroken. She's leaving on a 10-day business trip to Europe in two days. Should I get her a gift or a card to let her know I'm really into her (and to not fall in love with any European dudes while she's away)? —Worried What kind of gift were you thinking of giving her—the duct tape you'd use to strap her to a chair in your den? When somebody you're interested in seems to be backing away, it's natural to want to chase them. It's also the most counterproductive thing you could do. (You look desperate, and they look for doorways to hide in.) Your best bet is to remain present but be minimal about it, like by texting her on the morning she leaves, "Hey, have a safe trip and a great time." While she's away, keep seriously busy, both to stay okay in the head and so, when you do see her, you won't come off like you spent 10 days in your bunk bed drawing sparkly hearts in a notebook with her name on the cover. Upon her return, wait at least a few days, and then ask her out. Give her the space to miss you and she just might do that, and you just might find yourself showing her the American version of "if the gondola's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'."

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Our planet's most abundant mineral is called bridgmanite. It's an amalgam of iron, magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. Until recently, no one had actually seen it because it lies so deep underground it can't be reached by digging tools. Scientists have only known about it from studying how earthquake waves moved through it. That changed in the last few years, when two mineralogists found bridgmanite in an ancient meteorite. They were able to analyze the nuances of this basic mineral for the first time. I predict a comparable development for you, Taurus. In the coming months, you will become more familiar with a core part of you that has always been a mystery. The revelations may occur with the help of an influence that resembles a meteorite. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some conspiracy theorists are paranoid that aliens or government agencies use radio waves to try to control their minds. They wear tin foil hats to protect themselves from the evil transmissions. But a recent study shows that this protective head gear has an effect that's opposite to what it's supposed to. In fact, it actually amplifies the intensity of radio frequencies, making it even more likely that mind-control signals would work their dastardly magic. This problem probably does not apply to you, but I suspect you are suffering from a comparable glitch. An approach you're pursuing or an attitude you're cultivating is having an impact contrary to what you imagine. Now is an excellent time to make adjustments. CANCER (June 21-July 22): I can't remember the last time you've had as much artistic freedom as you have now. It's as if life has given you a slew of wild cards and X-factors to play with. You don't have to answer to the past as much as you usually do. You are less beholden to the demands of duty and the constraints of karma. Here's the best perk: You have been authorized by both the higher powers and lower powers of the cosmos to fall in love. With whom? With what? Everyone! Everything!

BLACK BEAR NATUROPATHIC

By Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19): We all have addictive and obsessive tendencies. They are fundamental to being human. So the challenge is not to eliminate them—that's not possible—but rather to harness them. If you hope to keep them from dragging you down, you must work hard to channel them into activities that enhance your life. How are you doing on this score, Aries? Are you chronically dependent on drugs, gambling, sugar, or chaotic relationships? Or are you, instead, hooked on the courage you summon when you face your fears and the willpower you invoke as you free yourself from your limitations? Now is an excellent time to upgrade your addictive and obsessive tendencies.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): For much of its history, the United States claimed ownership of the ocean within three miles of its coasts. That changed in 1988, when the federal government declared that hereafter it would have sovereignty over the ocean as far as 12 miles from land. With that action, American territory increased dramatically. I invite you to consider a comparable expansion in the coming months, Leo. Seize more space. Seek further privileges. Ask for a bigger piece of everything.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Poland's most renowned ghost hunter is frustrated. Having invested a fortune in spectral detection equipment, Piotr Shalkevitz finds that there are fewer and fewer spooks to investigate as the years go by. I'm not qualified to speak about whether or not the whole world is experiencing a decline in the ghost population. But I'm confident that this is exactly what is happening for you Virgos. Recently, the haunted elements of your life have begun to dissipate. And in the next eight months, I expect that you will be freed from most, maybe all, of the ghosts and pesky demons that attached themselves to you once upon a time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often." Winston Churchill said that, and now I'm passing it along to you—with one caveat. I don't expect you to be perfect, and never will. To shoot for perfection is risky. It may set up unrealistic expectations that lead to bad mental hygiene. It tempts you to avoid messy experiences, some of which might be essential to your growth. So I will offer a revised version of Churchill's maxim for your use: If you want to improve, you must change. If you want to keep improving, you must change often. And the coming months will be prime time for you to keep improving and improving and improving.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Sex is like pizza," said comedian Mel Brooks. "Even when it's bad, it's still pretty good." That's a generalization, of course. I'm sure you can think of times in your past when mediocre pizza and mediocre sex were just plain mediocre. But work with me on the overarching principle, Scorpio: Some of the finer things in life just can't be spoiled. They are always at least moderately pleasurable and interesting and lucky—and usually more than just moderately so. According to my reading of the astrological omens, your immediate future will be filled to the brim with these finer things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ancient people knew about Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn because all of those planets are visible to the naked eye. From the second millennium B.C. until the late 20th century, only three additional planets were found: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. (Pluto was later reclassified as a dwarf planet, however.) Then in 1992, astronomers began to locate planets orbiting other stars. On one spectacular day in February of 2014, NASA announced it had identified 715 new planets. I foresee a similar uptick for you in the next seven months, Sagittarius. Your rate of discoveries is about to zoom.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When Evan Lattimer's 92-year-old father died in 2007, she inherited his large collection of odd relics. It included a cigar smoked by W. C. Fields, Greta Garbo's driver's license, Abraham Lincoln's shaving mirror, a bearskin coat owned by General George Custer, and Napoleon Bonaparte's penis. Many items turned out to be quite valuable to collectors. One eager bidder offered to buy the famous genitalia for $100,000. I suspect that in the coming months, you will experience events that have some resemblances to this story. For example, the legacy you receive may not be what you expected, but could turn out to be more useful than you imagined.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Here's your assignment: Get more organized and purposeful about having fun. Think harder about what makes you feel good, and plan more aggressively to bring those feel-good experiences into your life. In offering these prescriptions, I'm not advocating irresponsible hedonism. Not at all. In my view, you will become a better servant of those you care about by boosting your commitment to pleasure. You will carry out your duties with more aplomb and effectiveness. Raising your joy quotient is actually a formula for becoming a better human being.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Appalachian Mountains span 1,500 miles from Newfoundland to Alabama. They are the seventh longest range in the world. And yet they have shrunk over the eons. Their average height is 3,000 feet, but when they were young they were probably twice that high. What happened? There has been constant erosion caused by rivers, glaciers, wind, tree roots, lichens, and oxidation. Rain and condensation have also played a role because when water freezes, it expands, creating a wedging force. I propose that we make what has happened to the Appalachians a symbol of what's possible for you in the next eight months, Pisces. Through steady, small actions, you can significantly grind down a mountainous obstacle.

Because of the defaults stated above, Beneficiary has elected to sell the Property to satisfy the Loan and has instructed Successor Trustee to commence sale proceedings. Successor Trustee will sell the Property at public auction on the front steps of the Missoula County Courthouse, 200 West Broadway, Missoula, MT 59802, City of Missoula on February 4, 2015 at 11:00 AM, Mountain Time. The sale is a public sale and any person, including Beneficiary and excepting only Successor Trustee, may bid at the sale. The bid price must be paid immediately upon the close of bidding at the sale location in cash or cash equivalents (valid money orders, certified checks or cashier’s checks). The conveyance will be made by trustee’s deed without any representation or warranty, express or implied, as the sale is made strictly on an as-is, where-is basis. Grantor, successor in interest to Grantor or any other person having an interest in the Property may, at any time prior to the trustee’s sale, pay to Beneficiary the entire amount then due on the Loan (including foreclosure costs and expenses actually incurred and trustee’s and attorney’s fees) other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred. Tender of these sums shall effect a cure of the defaults stated above (if all non-monetary defaults are also cured) and shall result in Trustee’s termination of the foreclosure and cancellation of the foreclosure sale. The trustee’s rules of auction may be accessed at www.northwesttrustee.com and are incorporated by the reference. You may also access sale status at www.Northwesttrustee.com or USA-Fore closure.com.
