STREET TALK Asked late afternoon on Monday, Nov. 12, in front of the Orange Street Food Farm.

by Eric Oravsky

When you think of Montana-style cuisine, what makes your mouth water?

Follow-up: What are you most excited to dig into in your Thanksgiving spread this year?

Janet Grove: Gotta be venison backstrap. My husband will bring home a deer and we’ll grill it up. It is the best. Steppin’ up: I’ve done some unusual things. I made a deepfried duck last year and that was great. This year my step daughter is in culinary school and is hinting at making a pie, so I am looking forward to that.

Kyle Brueggeman: It would have to be elk steaks. Can’t go wrong with good elk meat.

It doesn’t matter how you cook it. Undecided: I don’t know what is on the menu yet. Hopefully yams, pears and walnuts. It’s a dish we had last year, and I am hoping to see it return.

Nat “Danger” Jacob: Pork Chop John’s sandwiches [in Butte]. They are just deepfried pork chops. Just offal: The leg of lamb is a family tradition. It doesn’t get as dry as turkey, that’s why I’ve decided to keep making it. I am also looking forward to the turkey giblets, mostly because it’s just a funny word.

Aaron Fessler: Wild game is pretty darn good. Anything out of the backyard is always good. Sounds fishy: We were going to roast a goat, but we couldn’t find a whole one. I was really excited to build the roasting apparatus. Instead, we are going to have an East Coast Thanksgiving with oysters and clams, a shellfish extravaganza.

Carmen Ebert: Pasties from Anaconda.

I will fight anyone from Butte who says theirs are better. Anaconda’s pasties are number one! Fightin’ for veggies: I am not doing anything special this year. I would like to branch out for more vegetarian dishes for no other reason than to bring something a little different to the table.

An excellent burger

Healing my heart

The only time I’ve heard the term “Montucky” was a hamburger at an area eatery (see “‘Montucky’ offends,” Oct. 24). Just a bacon cheeseburger with an onion ring and Jim Beam barbecue sauce.

Excellent.

Every region has various stereotypes.

Maybe you’re being a little over sensitive, Ms. Walker. Welcome to Montana, the “Freeman” and “Unabomber” state.

Bill Samsel Polson

I would like to thank the Zootown Arts Community Center and Hospice of Missoula for the creative workshops they opened to the public for free in celebration of the Day of the Dead throughout the month of November. As those of us who know how painful and hard the loss of a loved one can be, whether expected or unexpected, these workshops provided a welcoming and loving atmosphere to help channel grief and sorrow into something creative and unique through the arts. The donation of their time,

the ZACC space and materials for their various art projects were much appreciated by myself and the many many others who participated. I can personally say their contribution to helping the community express their grief in constructive and uplifting ways has helped in the healing of my heart. We are blessed to have ZACC and Hospice of Missoula recognize and respond to the need to have positive interactive ways to celebrate life even after death.

Backtalk from “Loaded,” Nov. 8

Terrible shot

Gullible minions

Good article, Jamie Rogers. I’m a third-generation gun-owning liberal Montanan but nothing close to being nuts over them. Only own a few and most were either inherited or purchased for hunting.

I do own a .357 revolver purchased years ago after someone tried to kill my wife and escaped from the prison. He had made threats before. Suppose I could sell it but no reason to.

I hope your article eases the minds of many who are completely anti-gun. But I do agree that fully automatics and large capacity clips for semi-automatics have no place and no reason to be legal. Everyone seemed to get along fine when we had the 10-year ban on greater than 10-round clips. Ten rounds should be more than enough for sport shooting and if someone thinks they need more than even three rounds to shoot an animal they aren’t much of a shot.

The NRA itself is an industry that exploits for profit the ignorance and paranoia of its many member-patriots.

Wallet-sized cards outlining the gun-grabbing horrors of the Obama administration—a brilliant propaganda ploy to arouse its gullible minions, to ensure that they continue to pledge loyalty (and dollars!) to the one true watchdog of the right to bear arms. Look out, they’re coming for your guns and ammo! Stockpile!

Lie in the bushes and wait!

Posted on 11/10/2012 at 10:38 a.m.

“The NRA itself is an industry that exploits for profit the ignorance and paranoia of its many member-patriots.”

Guns reduce crime Firearms represent freedom—only free people own guns. An armed citizenry puts the fear of God in criminals, and thus reduces violent crime. In times of civil unrest or emergencies, looters, rapists, etc. will avoid armed persons or pay the price.

Self-defense is an inalienable right, as is the right to own and carry guns.

Backtalk from “Slow lane,” Nov. 8

Hard cell Just what Missoula needs, one more thing for their overly large traffic patrol force to harass otherwise responsible drivers about. Though maybe they will spend less time camping behind speed limit signs trying to shakedown everyone doing 5 mph over.

Posted on 11/08/2012 at 11:39 a.m.

ear or texting all the time. If responsible drivers need to they can use the hands-free unit, as can not-so-responsible drivers who need to for work reasons. While I won’t call or answer when on a busy street, I do on side streets when there’s little traffic. Now I’ll just pull over if I need to, or wait till I get where I’m going.

Road rage

Just about every idiot driving move I’ve witnessed in the past years involved a cellphone, especially since everyone seems to have a cellphone and many just can’t get through the day without it pressed to their

So funny I actually laughed out loud...This guy is good. Here’s to hoping Mr. Brooks is working on a book of essays, say, Burroughs or Sedaris style?

Posted on 11/10/2012 at 3:00 p.m.

Too late Traffic patrol force? Ha! I see more cops in sleepy Southern towns of 500 than I do in Missoula. Spend any time east of the Mississippi and you’ll know just how little of an active police force there is in Missoula. The only thing to bitch about is how the U.S. didn’t pass a national law against cellphone use while driving at least a decade ago. Now we have entire generations that don’t know what it’s like to drive a vehicle without owning or using a cellphone.

WEEK IN REVIEW

VIEWFINDER

by Eric Oravsky

Wednesday, November 7 Montana’s two most high-profile races are called the day after the election, with Democratic Sen. Jon Tester fending off Republican challenger Rep. Denny Rehberg, and Democrat Steve Bullock winning the race for governor over Republican Rick Hill.

Thursday, November 8 The estate of a man killed by a drunk driver who was drinking at KT’s Hayloft in Lolo sues the bar. Brian Beaver’s estate alleges that, in November 2010, the Hayloft overserved Brian Holm before he drove his car to Missoula and careened into Beaver.

Friday, November 9 David Propp, 21, is found dead at the base of a steep California bluff. Law enforcement says the Missoula man was attending school at the University of Santa Barbara and appeared to have fallen down the slope.

Saturday, November 10 A petition seeking Montana’s secession from the union is posted on the White House’s website. The petition calls upon the Obama administration to let Montanans “enact our own laws and here buy (sic) govern ourselves.”

Sunday, November 11 A 20-year-old man on a bicycle leads Missoula Police on a five-mile chase. A friend tells police that Joseph Peasley, 20, is armed. When approached by police, Peasley refuses to stop his bicycle and then sets off on foot before a cop’s warning shot prompts him to stop.

Monday, November 12 The Great Falls Tribune reports that state Republican Rep. Dan Kennedy of Laurel doesn’t know how his $557 check to “Direct Mail” ended up in a Western Tradition Partnership bank account. WTP is the nonprofit embroiled in a campaign collaboration controversy.

Tuesday, November 13 Emmett Hogsten Jr., 45, appears in court on attempted deliberate homicide charges after he allegedly stabs his estranged wife five times. Law enforcement reports that Hogsten is upset because his wife didn’t want to reconcile.

Contractors use heavy equipment to work on the Top Hat’s roof on Monday, Nov. 12. The downtown bar and live music venue will host a “Clear the Kegs” party on Thursday, Nov. 15 before closing down through March for renovations.

Marijuana

Code needs an update Code of the West, a documentary that chronicles the 2011 legislative fight over Montana’s medical marijuana law, screened at Missoula’s Wilma Theatre in May. The film ended with a postscript about one of its main characters, Tom Daubert, noting that one of the chief architects of the state’s medical marijuana law had rejected a plea bargain with the federal government that would have resulted in at least 10 years in prison. He was still awaiting his fate.

We now know it: In September, Daubert received five years’ probation.

That sentence, while relatively lenient, was in line with what the director of Code of the West, Rebecca Richman Cohen, had expected. “But we certainly never anticipated that Chris Williams”—another main character in the film—“would go to trial and face charges that carry such draconian mandatory sentences attached to them,” Cohen said by phone a day after Code of the West aired in New York City on Nov. 12.

Williams was a partner in Montana Cannabis, one of the largest caregivers in the state and among the med-

[6] Missoula Independent • November 15 – November 22, 2012

ical marijuana businesses raided by federal authorities in March 2011. Williams opted out of a plea bargain, saying, “This is nothing more than slavery and completely disregards my rights as a citizen of the United States of America. I have declined the offer.” A jury has convicted him, and Williams now faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 80 years in prison. He’s requested a retrial.

Cohen said Williams’ fight against the federal government is too pivotal a development for an epilogue, so she’s hoping to update the film and flesh out Williams’ story. Cohen created a Kickstarter campaign to raise $30,000 to fund the work, and she’s more than a third of the way to her goal after just two weeks. The fundraising campaign runs through Dec. 5. Once the money’s raised, Cohen believes she can update the film in about six weeks. She hopes to screen the new version in Montana in the spring.

Of course, the film’s context has also changed in the wake of the recent elections. Colorado and Washington essentially legalized marijuana, further muddying the question of how the federal government will reconcile federal and state marijuana laws going forward.

“If those states had won by narrow margins, then I

think things might be stickier, but those states won by large margins,” Cohen said. “In fact, in Colorado, more people voted for marijuana than they did for Barack Obama. And so that makes it politically very difficult for the administration to continue this crackdown on marijuana growers. But I don’t think by any means it’s a forgone conclusion.”

Railroad

MRL employees cry foul Since August 2011, three Montana Rail Link employees have filed lawsuits in Missoula County that allege the company provides unsafe working conditions and inadequate tools.

Last month, Butte resident Fred Moodry filed suit claiming that MRL’s failure to provide a safe work environment in 2009 caused him to suffer significant injuries. “As a result of such injuries, the plaintiff ’s capacity to pursue an established course of life has been damaged or destroyed,” the lawsuit states.

In July, MRL employee Tyto Vigil alleged that in

[news] 2009 he was hit in the face by a piece of ballast while using a spike maul to hammer in railroad ties. Vigil’s complaint alleges that MRL failed to provide safe tools and machinery, along with adequate personnel, to ensure that he could safely do his job. The lawsuit claims the accident caused Vigil to “sustain permanent injuries to his face and teeth.”

Vigil’s lawsuit came on the heels of August 2011 litigation filed by Richard Schmitz, another MRL employee.

Schmitz says MRL required him to perform repetitive tasks for a long period, causing him chronic pain. The lawsuit claims increased oversight by MRL could have prevented Schmitz’s physical distress. “(MRL) knew or should have known,” the suit states, “that the job tasks, tools and equipment assigned to plaintiff would, over time, result in musculoskeletal injuries.”

Each of the plaintiffs is asking the court to award damages.

In response to questions about employee work conditions, MRL spokeswoman Lynda Frost said in a written statement that the railroad’s record has been recognized as among the best in the nation.

“Each employee plays a key role and responsibility in providing a safe work environment,” Frost says. “Montana Rail Link operates in full compliance with all applicable laws.”

MRL operates on more than 900 miles of track and employs more than 950 people in the state. According to the Federal Railroad Administration, the operator has significantly improved its safety record since 2009. In 2009, the Railroad Administration tallied 31 employee accidents, compared to seven in 2011.

Beer

Changes brewing on Myrtle Regulars at the Kettlehouse’s Myrtle Street location will tell you the place can get crowded. Not many years ago, before the brewery built its Northside tap room, it wasn’t unusual to see a line of patrons waiting at the door.

Those same regulars will tell you there’s been some activity in the neighborhood recently. That’s because, according to Kettlehouse co-owner Suzy Rizza, the brewery is expanding into the vacant building next door that once housed an auto repair shop. Kettlehouse has felt “hemmed in” on Myrtle Street for a long time, Rizza says. There’s never really been an active expansion plan for the brewery’s original home, just the perpetual hope that a space would open up.

“It was more like, ‘Well, if a space around us, like, maybe if Le Petit moves, we’ll see if we can get that spot,’” Rizza says. “So when the space became available, we said, ‘Yeah, we’ll take it.’”

In the coming weeks, Kettlehouse will begin shifting its Myrtle Street brewhouse over to the new space.

The move will free up room for a bigger tap room as well. But Rizza sees the expansion as less a change than an opportunity to strengthen what’s always been Ket-

tlehouse’s calling: Brewing and tapping a wide variety of craft beer.

“If anything, I feel like we’ll be able to get back more to our roots of having the brewing capacity to be more creative with new styles,” Rizza says. “The demand for Cold Smoke and IPA and Eddy Out—our canned beers—is so high that it takes up a lot of space at both [locations]. If we’re able to brew more, I think that will free us up to hopefully brew more newer stuff.”

Kettlehouse will reveal more details on the expansion as it begins the remodel. Right now, Rizza hesitates to say when the project might be complete. Late winter, maybe early spring?

“We’ve remodeled before, and it’s like throwing a dart at the dartboard,” Rizza says. “That’s the guess.”

Election

A judge’s poor judgement On Election Day, those who voted at Whitefish’s First Baptist Church couldn’t miss a pickup parked out front. Aside from its dozens of anti-Obama bumper-stick-

ers and stenciling admonishing various laws and federal agencies, the truck bed held an American flag and a large, wooden sign. “Your choice is very clear,” it read. “Socialism-Marxism or Liberty-Freedom.” The sign then listed the Republican candidates for president, U.S. House, U.S. Senate and governor.

Such far-right political statements aren’t exactly unexpected during a heated election season, but the mobile billboard crossed the line because the person who parked the truck at the polling place was a Flathead County election judge. Voters complained that the signage violated Montana’s “100-foot rule,” which restricts “electioneering on election day within any polling place...or within 100 feet of any entrance to the building which the polling place is located.” By the time Flathead County Election Administrator Paula Robinson sent a staffer to tell the election judge to move his truck farther away from the church, he already had.

“Certainly for me, in hiring election judges,” Robinson said on Election Day, “there isn’t anything that states that they can’t drive a vehicle and park it 100, 200 feet away from a polling place with a political sign on it. ...And so, at this point, I guess it’s more of an ethical question. Who am I to determine, if it’s not within statute, whether he’s ethically right or wrong?”

Robinson said an official complaint would need to be filed with the Montana Commissioner of Political Practices. As of Nov.13, the office hadn’t received one, but Robinson said the election judge, whose name she declined to divulge, “did come to my office and apologize and asked to be removed from our active election judge list.”

Montana’s election featured several high-profile and close races, but for all the campaigning, the Commissioner of Political Practices has so far received only three electioneering complaints. All three of those complaints dealt with Lake County Justice of the Peace-elect Joey Jayne, who allegedly handed out campaign materials to early voters waiting in line on Monday, Nov. 5, at the Lake County elections office. Jayne has denied any wrongdoing.

ETC. Right around the time network pollsters called last week’s presidential race for President Barack Obama and key U.S. Senate seats started turning blue, Missoula City Councilman Adam Hertz sent out a string of tweets that caught our attention. Hertz is one of two conservatives on the 12-member council, and he remarked that the resounding results constituted a nail in the coffin for the old Republican guard and it was “time for a new #GOP.” “I hope a fresh, energetic, liberty-loving, YOUNG and tolerant GOP will rise from the ashes,” he wrote later in the evening.

In the days that followed the election, comments similar to Hertz’s were uttered by many national right-leaning pundits who wanted their party to broaden its base beyond white men. Others decided to dig their heels in the ground and call for even more radical measures (case in point: The Daily Inter Lake published a column comparing any potential bipartisanship compromise to enabling Southeast Asian slavery; it was pretty weird).

Anyway, we caught up with Hertz, 27, after the Election Day emotions had dissipated and asked him to elaborate on his current frustrations with and the potential future of his party.

He says it starts with consistency.

“If you’re a Republican or a conservative and you think that the government doesn’t belong in your finances, that the government doesn’t belong over regulating your business, that the government doesn’t belong in your religion,” he says, “then why would you think that the government belongs in your bedroom or in your marriage?”

He went on to explain the GOP’s consistency crisis goes much deeper than social issues. For instance, he believes Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg lost the Senate race because he flip-flopped between supporting George W. Bush’s big spending policies and Tea Party fiscal conservatism.

“Denny Rehberg saw the writing on the wall and he tried to change,” Hertz says.

For Rehberg, it was too late. As the GOP sits down to do some post-election soul searching, we hope, for their own benefit, that they listen to Hertz’s advice. While we don’t always agree with Hertz’s opinions, we do value his willingness to at least discuss real issues and, as evidenced by our recent conversation, his openness to change.

of the PSC is so focused,” says Lake, “that I believe that we have the opportunity to tell people that are either trying to force things in [such as wind power] or trying to drive things out [such as coal] to say, ‘I’m sorry, that’s not going to work here, because we have the obligation for the [cheapest] power.’”

Lake, currently a state senator, seeks to change the state’s definition of renewable energy resources to include hydroelectric power. The change would effectively remove incentives for utilities to tap wind, solar and other renewable energy sources. The PSC doesn’t have the authority to make that

state’s largest utility, says it’s on track to meet the 2015 renewable energy target.

More than that, as renewable energy advocates point out, traditional fossil fuels also benefit from subsidies, and they have for decades. In fact, the production tax credit, which became law in 1992, was intended to put wind power on a “level playing field,” in the words of U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, RIowa, who authored the bill, with subsidized fossil fuels. As a March 2012 Congressional Budget Office federal energy brief noted, “Only four major tax preferences are permanent, three of which are directed toward fossil fuels and one of which is directed toward nuclear energy.” “[The Production Tax Credit] is not a subsidy that gains advantage,” says Jim Jensen, director of the Montana Environmental Information Center. “It’s only a subsidy that makes it equal, and all things being equal, wind is the cheapest, most reliable, cleanest energy that NorthWestern Energy is acquiring.”

But as bad as the PSC has behaved of late, some renewable energy advocates may look back at this time as the good old days.

Tuning into rivers Audio research aims to aid restoration, prevent oil spills

by Kelly Conde

what healthy rivers sound like, he can use that to help restore riverbanks after a dam has been removed.

Another way Lorang can use the data from the fiber optic audio cables is in preventing oil spills like that of the Yellowstone River in 2011.

“In Montana, there are 1,800 oil pipelines going underneath rivers. Some of them are deep, some of them aren’t,” Lorang says. “If you had this fiber optic cable in there, you could actually listen to the river and know where and hopefully how severe the scour is occurring as a warning sign.”

In other words, the cables can potentially detect when and where rock, logs and sediment are dragging along the river bottom most intensely. Lorang can then use that information to predict where oil pipelines are in danger of being uncovered and punctured.

Lorang acquired the audio cables from Alex Philp, a scientist for Adelos, Inc., which is partially owned by Flathead Reservation-based S&K Technologies. Philp says the cables have been primarily used for security purposes until now.

“I can’t go into too much detail on this, but our customers include various levels of the U.S. government interested in using this as a warning system for security,” Philp says.

He explains that the cables are buried underground and, once connected to a sophisticated electronic system, emit an array, or light. The array is sensitive enough to pick up on An earlier stage of the Sound of Rivers project used hydrophones, as shown sound waves both underwater and above.

Among other things, Lorang is attempting to use these different soundscapes to quantify and monitor how sediment moves through the water. At any given time, a river takes sediment from one bank and deposits it on another. Depending on the season, the amount of sediment moving in the river changes. For example, think of the difference between the Clark Fork now and when it turns muddy in the spring. Lorang monitors the sediment transport because of its effects on aquatic and riparian habitat.

Wood work Why it’s tough to cut it as a tree planter

by Robert Leo Heilman

The Arbor Day Foundation sent me a “Tree Survey” a few months ago. At least it called itself a survey, but it turned out to be more of a pitch for donations in the form of a questionnaire. Still, I decided to finish reading the thing before I tossed it in the wood burner with the other junk mail. Living as I do in a southern Oregon forest, I found questions like, “Are trees important to you?” amusing.

Reading along, I came to a question that gave me pause: “Have you ever planted a tree?” I thought first of the 150,000 trees I planted while reforesting clear-cuts in the Cascades and Coast Range, about enough to cover 300 acres of mountain slopes. That sounds like more than what it was, though. I have friends who were serious tree planters.

My pal Darlene told me that she must have planted about a half-million of the little things during her winters on the slopes.

And there are three of my ex-tree planter buddies—Johnny Escovido, Bruce Gordon and Lester Moore—who slammed over 1 million trees into the ground apiece. I’m sure there are others among my acquaintances who have surpassed that impressive number, though most tree planters don’t talk about how many trees they’ve planted.

They talk about their chronically sore backs.

One million trees sounds like a much bigger deal than it is. It only takes about 40 seconds to plant a seedling conifer eight feet away from the last one you planted.

Reforestation crews generally plant about 500 seedlings to the acre, so a million trees would only replant about 2,000 acres of logged-off land, about enough to someday

provide habitat for a single nesting pair of northern spotted owls. I’ve worked on corporate clear-cuts here in Oregon that were that big, while up north in British Columbia there are cuts that are measured in square miles rather than acres.

A few weeks later after receiving my survey, I ran across Lester “The Rat” Moore, and I got to wondering about when and where he planted his one-millionth tree. He was busy stealing firewood off of some timber company land at the

“Tree planting is a logger’s idea of hard work.” time, buzzing up an old buckskin-colored seasoned madrone log and tossing the rounds into his pickup to haul back to the tar-papered shack he lives in. He was in a hurry, and I was on my way into town, so we “howdied” but didn’t stop to talk.

The Rat isn’t exactly the sort of guy you’d see in a TV commercial. He’s not the square-jawed handsome woodsman type the corporations like to promote, nor the caring sort who could serve as a poster child for an Arbor Day celebration. He’s a small, wiry, snaggletoothed guy who chews tobacco and drinks whiskey straight from the bottle. If you saw him on a city street, you’d probably try your best to walk past him without making eye contact. But when it comes to tree planting, he was the

genuine article, good for a steady 1,000 trees every day, five days per week, 20 to 30 weeks a year for 20-something years.

It’s a tough way to earn a paycheck, humping up and down mountains in the rain all winter. The state employment office in Eugene, Ore., once posted a warning notice about tree planting: “It is the hardest physical work known to this office. The most comparative physical requirement is that of a five mile cross-mountain run, daily.” Most people would consider logging a tough job; tree planting is a logger’s idea of hard work.

That one-millionth tree of The Rat’s career might have been planted in Oregon or Washington, Montana, Idaho, British Columbia, Alaska, Arizona or Colorado. I doubt he remembers it. It was probably a lot like the 20,000 others he planted that month, and I’m sure that nobody handed him a golden shovel or took his picture for the occasion.

Nobody gives out awards for stoop labor, which is really a shame. It is difficult work, demanding both physically and mentally. I have seen many a fine physical specimen give up the attempt to plant trees after a day or two because they lacked the necessary gumption (or the desperation, which is just as useful) to see it through to payday. It seems that the people who actually bend down and touch the earth in order to do the work of healing the world are always the least honored of all.

CURSES, FOILED AGAIN - A man who stole T-shirts from a New York City store was making his getaway on foot when he passed James Marr, 79, who said he heard somebody yelling “Stop thief!” and spotted the shoplifter “with a full laundry bag running past full tilt.” Marr noticed some papers fly out of the suspect’s bag that turned out to be a court document with the name and address of Trevor Frasca, 27, whom police arrested and Marr labeled “the dumbest thief ever invented.” (New York’s Daily News) Dispatchers who received an emergency call in Leavenworth, Kan., found nobody on the open line, so they used a locator program to pinpoint where the call came from and notified police to investigate. Officers arriving on the scene determined that Jesus Daniel Santos, 26, had accidentally “butt-dialed” the emergency number from his cell phone. As they were leaving, however, they spotted baggies in the back seat of his car filled with what turned out to be crack cocaine and arrested him. (Kansas City, Mo.’s KSHB-TV)

PRETTY BOYS - South Korean men spent $495.5 million on skincare products last year, accounting for nearly 21 percent of global sales, according to the market research firm Euromonitor International. And Amorepacific, South Korea’s biggest cosmetics company, estimated total sales of men’s cosmetics in South Korea this year will exceed $885 million, making the Asian nation the world’s male makeup capital.

Noting American men are often wary of makeup, Roald Maliangkay, head of Korean studies at Australian National University, said South Korean men regard effeminate male beauty as “a marker of social success.”

AVOIRDUPOIS FOLLIES - The Georgia State Board of Funeral Services suspended Conyers funeral director William B. Ellenberg III for dismembering the body of an 800-pound person before cremating it.

“I cut the fatty tissue off the side of the legs so it would fit inside the crematory,” Ellenberg said. “I did what I had to do to get the body cremated for the family.” (Atlanta’s WGCL-TV)

CHICAGO JUSTICE - Chicago zoning inspector Dominick Owens, 46, was found guilty of taking bribes after twice receiving $600 to issue certificates of occupancy for four newly built homes he hadn’t inspected. He was sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison, but a federal appeals court overturned his conviction because the bribes weren’t big enough. They fell short of the $5,000 minimum required by law. (Chicago Sun-Times) HOMELAND INSECURITY - The Department of Homeland Security inspector general reported that 318 DHS employees and contractors were arrested in 2011. Crimes included Border Patrol agents smuggling drugs, Immigration and Customs Enforcement forging documents and robbing drug dealers, and Transportation Security Administration agents caught with child pornography. The good news, according to the inspector general’s summary of significant investigations, is that arrests were down from 519 in 2010. (Wired) A Congressional investigation comparing airport screeners at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), which employs private contractors, and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which relies on TSA agents, found that SFO screeners processed 65 percent more passengers than their LAX counterparts.

The study by the House Transportation and Infrastructure committee noted that both groups receive the same wages and benefits and use virtually the same equipment. (Forbes)

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION - Police cited a 34-year-old man for calling 911 from the front lobby of the Greenfield, Wis., Law Enforcement Center, which houses both the city police department and the municipal courtroom. The man said he called the emergency number to complain because he was tired of waiting for his name to be called to appear in court for a previous citation. (Greenfield’s Patch) While Frank Rodriguez-Tapia, 20, was on his way out of jail in Santa Fe, N.M., he stole $80 from another inmate who was going through booking. He treated himself to lunch before he was caught and returned to jail. (Albuquerque’s KOAT-TV)

ENERGY BACKFIRES - Renewable energy around the world is causing problems because it can’t be stored, so when it’s generated, it must be consumed or risk overloading the power grid and causing blackouts. The oversupply problem affects China and Texas but is particularly serious with wind energy generated by Germany. On windy days, it overpowers Central and Eastern European countries, causing them to consider disconnecting their power lines “to prevent accidents and destruction,” Pavel Solc, Czech deputy minister of industry and trade, said. (Bloomberg News) Sweden’s program to generate energy from garbage is so efficient that Sweden has had to begin importing trash from other countries, to the tune of 800,000 tons a year. Only four percent of Sweden’s garbage makes it to landfills. Norway pays Sweden to take its garbage, and Catarina Ostlund, a senior adviser for Sweden’s environmental protection agency, said it’s looking at Bulgaria, Romania and Italy as potential sources of garbage to provide electricity. “I would say maybe in the future, this waste will be valued even more,” Ostlund said. (NPR) California hydroelectric power plants produced 1,137 fewer megawatts this summer than usual because of drought, according to Stephanie McCorkle of the California Independent System Operator, which operates most of the state’s power delivery. McCorkle blamed snow pack in the Sierra Nevada mountains, which was down as much as 50 percent in some areas last spring. “This is how we store electricity,” she said, “in the snow pack.” (National Geographic News)

NEVER TOO OLD - After serving as mayor of River Falls, Ala., for three decades, Mary Ella Hixon, 91, resigned and pleaded guilty to stealing $201,000 from the town. She was sentenced to five years in prison, all suspended because of her age, and ordered to repay the money. (Associated Press) POSITIVE FALLOUT - In addition to spreading Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ticks may be boosting vegetarianism. University of Virginia researchers found that a bite from a Lone Star tick can cause victims to become allergic to alpha-gal, a substance found in the meat of hooved animals.

Sufferers break out in hives or full-scale anaphylaxis a few hours after eating meat. (Sierra)

hen you put together the list of all the things you’re grateful for this Thanksgiving, a few of the usual suspects are sure to appear: family, friends, health, the invention of Snuggies—stuff like that. But there’s one thing you should add to your list, regardless of what else is on it: Missoula’s increasingly bountiful local food system. Every year, there’s more and more emphasis from local restaurants and groceries on educating the public about cooking with and ultimately serving up locally sourced ingredients. It’s not always the easiest route, especially during Montana’s winter months, nor is it necessarily the cheapest option, but

cultivating our homegrown culinary creativity does an immeasurable job helping to define our sense of place.

In that spirit, we’re keeping the focus firmly on hometown fare for our annual food issue. We asked four chefs known for their commitment to area foods (and one organization known for harvesting area meat) to provide hyper-local, Montana-inspired recipes for an epic Thanksgiving feast. The results are inventive, simple to execute and almost entirely reliant on ingredients found right here in western Montana, and that’s something we think all of us can be thankful for this holiday season.

Autumnal Beet and Apple Salad Rain Smith, pantry chef, Biga Pizza What you’ll need: 1 bunch red Swiss chard 1 bunch purple kale 3 large Lifeline Farm beets, roasted and cubed 2 Bitterroot honeycrisp apples, sliced Lifeline Farm’s Feta-U-Betta, crumbled Roasted spiced pumpkin seeds from a Clark Fork Organics pumpkin For the pumpkin seeds: 2 tablespoons of olive oil 1 teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon garlic powder ¼ teaspoon paprika ¼ teaspoon chili flakes ¼ teaspoon chili powder ¼ teaspoon turmeric

A word from Biga owner Bob Marshall: Our restaurant’s specials are inspired by what’s available that week, and this autumnal salad calls for a number of easily accessible seasonal ingredients.

At Biga Pizza, we pride ourselves in bringing a first-rate level of quality to our menu by using as much local food and as many local services as possible while maintaining a fair price to our customers. We accomplish this by incorporating local, organic foods that are harvested at their prime, and working with local farmers such as Montana Flour and Grains, Clark Fork Organics, Lifeline Farms, Farm to Market Pork, County Rail Farms and others through the Western Montana Growers Co-op.

For the apple-ginger-chili vinaigrette: ½ cup Swanson’s apple cider 2 tablespoons lemon juice ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard ¼ cup jalapeño jam from Mountain View Jams ¼ cup apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger ½ teaspoon allspice Pinch of salt ¾ cup vegetable oil How to make it: Place the beets in a roasting pan or Dutch oven with 1½ inches of water. Roast at 400 degrees for 90 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool (Chef ’s note: cold water can be used to expedite this). Gently squeeze beets to remove skins.

Store-bought pumpkin seeds are fine, but you can also roast your own. You’ll need to halve 1 pie pumpkin and remove seeds. (Chef ’s note: You can also roast the pumpkin, face down, with the beets for an hour and use it for a pie, pasta, soup, etc.) Rinse the seeds with cold water and strain, then toss in a bowl with the olive oil. Coat the seeds with the salt, garlic powder, paprika, chili flakes, chili powder and turmeric. Place seeds on lined or oiled baking sheet and toast at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden.

To make the apple-ginger-chili vinaigrette, place all of the ingredients into a blender—except the vegetable oil. Blend. As the blender is moving, add in a slow stream of the vegetable oil.

Once your components are prepared, wash, dry and julienne the chard and kale. Toss the chard and kale with vinaigrette, then top with beets, apples, Feta-u-Betta and roasted pumpkin seeds.

In Missoula, we are fortunate to have many wonderful organic farmers who have honed their seed selection and farming practices to maximize our short, intense growing season. The produce we receive from them is usually harvested the same day and didn’t spend time/fuel getting trucked in from 2,000 miles away. Most importantly, when we purchase meats, flour, produce and other items from local growers, the revenue stays in Montana. It helps them support their families and enables them to have money to spend in our vibrant local economy.

Confit of Matsutake Mushrooms Adam Cooke, executive chef, Resort at Paws Up What you’ll need: 2 pounds matsutake mushrooms (Chef ’s note: you can substitute bolete/porcini, king trumpet, crimini or shiitake; soft mushrooms like morel or chanterelle are not recommended) 12 cippolini onions, peeled, left whole 1 head of hardneck garlic, broken apart but left in the skins 1 handful each of fresh thyme and rosemary (Chef ’s note: Blue Willow Farm from the Bitterroot grows insane rosemary) 1 gallon of blended olive oil or half-gallon of grapeseed oil and half-gallon virgin olive oil (Chef ’s note: yes, this is a lot, but you can repurpose the olive oil for other meals) Maldeon sea salt How to make it: Using a soft toothbrush or kitchen towel, gently remove all dirt from the mushrooms. Use the back side of a paring knife to scrape the outer skin from the stem of the mushrooms and then trim the base of the stem and discard. Leave the mushrooms whole.

Fetch a pot large enough to hold all ingredients (Dutch ovens or cast iron soup pots work great). Spread the herbs across the bottom of the pot and add the onions, garlic and mushrooms, and cover with oil. Gently heat the pot to 200 degrees and hold at that temperature until all ingredients are tender and just cooked—or place entire pot in an oven at 200 degrees and cook for approximately 45 minutes.

The mushrooms and other vegetables should be strained from the olive oil and served with a sprinkle of sea salt.

If you have extra, it can be stored in Mason jars in the fridge for a very long time. The onions and garlic are just as delicious as the mushrooms and all are great served on hamburgers, panini sandwiches and omelets, or grilled or roasted with chicken or meat roasts. There’s really no limit to the uses.

Amber Ale Gratin Billy Pipinich, head chef, Tamarack Brewing of Missoula

A word from the chef: A confit is a preserving method traditionally done with duck legs to keep them through the winter.

The legs would be slowly cooked in duck fat and then held submerged in that same fat. The same method can be applied to most any vegetables using olive oil as the cooking medium. If available, beef or duck fat can be used to preserve and add flavor to these vegetables, but I’ve left the recipe vegetarian here as I think it’s a more versatile preserve.

Montana is rich in wild mushrooms for short periods of time throughout the year and this method is useful in lengthening the shelf life of a hard-earned pile of ’shrooms. Please note that many varieties of wild mushrooms are not edible and it is recommended that you hunt with a professional mycologist.

A word from the chef: At Tamarack we believe in two things: Every customer should be treated like family and beer should always be involved in a meal. We strive to do both every day using the freshest and most local ingredients available. While some may say that in Montana this is not only a challenge but near impossible, we strive to show that anything can be

done with the right ingredients, the right people and the right beer.

This dish is a perfect winter comfort food that can be made using local vegetables available this time of year. It’s also easy to prepare, easy to cook, easy on your wallet and delicious. This way you have more time to enjoy your friends, family and, of course, your beer.

What you’ll need: 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine 6 small potatoes, peeled and sliced 2 carrots, peeled and sliced 2 onions, diced 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped 2 parsnips, peeled and sliced 1 garlic clove, minced 1 cup of Tamarack’s Yardsale Amber Ale 1 cup cream 2 ⁄3 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning How to make it: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread butter in a 9-by-13-inch pan. Arrange vegetables in pan and set aside. One note: Feel free to cut the vegetables any way you wish. The best part of this dish is it will always come together.

Pour beer into a different pan and bring to a boil for two minutes. Reduce heat and add cream. Season to taste.

Pour the sauce over the vegetables. Bake for 35 minutes and test the vegetables before serving—you’ll want them to be soft. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 5-10 more minutes, until cheese is crisping.

Marinated Venison Steaks Steve Decker, vice president of marketing, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation What you’ll need: 1 ½ cups olive oil ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce 2 ¼ teaspoons salt ½ cup wine vinegar 2 cloves of garlic, crushed ¾ cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons dry mustard 1 teaspoon pepper 1 ½ teaspoons dried parsley flakes ½ cup lemon juice Choice cuts of venison

How to make it: We’ll keep this one simple. Mix ingredients in a bowl. Submerge selected cuts of locally harvested venison in marinade. Let sit, the longer the better—refrigerate overnight, if possible. Grill venison to desired temperature.

The story behind the recipe: This recipe is the product of a long-running challenge between two brothers, both members of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, aimed at designing the ultimate wild game marinade. Over the course of nearly two decades, the brothers sent each other a variety of concoctions each had made up, some better than others, until the day that one sent this particular recipe to the other. Upon trying it, the challenge was deemed complete. The ultimate wild game marinade had been found.

An RMEF headquarters staffer later introduced the recipe to fellow coworkers at a Christmas party several years ago and the status of the now-legendary marinade only builds. To this day, the recipe remains popular in the halls, and especially sizzling on the barbecue grills, of RMEF staffers.

Bitterroot Mac Apple Tart Kim Batchelder, head chef, The Buttercup Market & Cafe What you’ll need: 3 apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced 3 tablespoons Wustner Brothers Honey 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 teaspoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon Montana Flour and Grain unbleached flour

A word from The Buttercup owner Molly Galusha: The Apple Tart is a favorite of ours in the fall and winter because of the abundance of great apples grown down the Bitterroot, in the Flathead and around Missoula, and all the possibilities of dressing it up or keeping it simple. The recipe is basic and doesn’t require fancy pans or equipment or long hours to prepare or cook. Change it up by using a mix of apple varieties or a different flavor of honey, like knapweed or clover. You can also add other flavors such as a liquor or jam, or additional fruit like cranberries or pears. Serve it with a scoop of Big Dipper Cardamom Ice Cream or a slice of Lifeline Cheddar.

It is a great canvas for creativity and local ingredients, quick to assemble and nearly foolproof.

Located at 1221 Helen Ave. in the heart of the University District, The Buttercup prominently features local ingredients in all of its savory and pastry creations. Kim, our premier chef who got her cooking start when 1221 Helen was the old Freddy’s Feed and Read, uses local produce and Montana meats sold in the market to prepare all her delicious meals.

For the dough: 1 ½ cup Montana Flour and Grain unbleached flour ½ cup confectioners’ sugar ¼ teaspoon salt 1 stick, plus 1 tablespoon of very cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1 Bitterroot Heritage Farm egg How to make it: To make the dough, place the flour, sugar, salt and butter in the the bowl of a processor or just a bowl, and pulse or mix with a fork until crumbly and the pieces are no bigger than a pea.

Lightly beat the egg yolk and slowly add to the mix until it starts to form a ball. Turn out onto a board and knead briefly to incorporate all the bits and flour. Wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes to let the dough rest. Divide into four pieces and roll or press each one into a circle about a ¼-inch thick.

To make the filling, mix the honey, cinnamon, lemon juice and flour in bowl. Toss in the apples to coat. Arrange inside an 8-inch circle of rolled or pressed out pie dough and fold up the edges about a ½-inch all around to keep the apples inside, but still exposed. Place on a cookie sheet or an oven-proof fry pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

There are a number of possible variations to this recipe. Try using a mix of different apples, such as Macs, Sweet 16, Liberties or whatever needs to be used up. Use apple brandy or a different liquor in place of the lemon juice, or substitute apricot jam. Add a ½ cup of fresh or dried cranberries. Or make a light egg wash with one yolk mixed with a teaspoon of water, and brush on top for an even more golden crust.

Keeping the mystery Bill Bill Callahan’s Callahan’s Apocalypse Apocalypse reveals reveals little, little, but but in in aa good good way way

by Kate Whittle

S

igmund Freud was certifiably off the wall when he came up with “penis envy.” I do believe, however, in envy of another kind: voice envy. What I would give to be able to sing with a deep, whiskey-rich voice like Bill Callahan’s, no matter how odd it would sound coming out of a smart aleck 20something woman’s mouth.

Before watching Apocalypse: A Bill Callahan Tour Film, my biggest familiarity with his work was through Smog, the moniker under which he put out records from the late ’80s through the early aughts. Smog is probably best known for “Cold Blooded Hard Times,” which was featured on the High Fidelity soundtrack in 2000. In 2007, Callahan started releasing work under his own name. Throughout the years, he’s stayed with the Chicago-based indie label Drag City.

Coming away from the lovely, understated documentary, I know absolutely nothing more about the guy than I did before: not where he’s from or whether he’s married or what his opinion on the current state of the music industry is. Callahan seems like a character out of

a novel, existing only to create his slow, poetic, lo-fi brand of Americana. This is wonderful.

I like knowing as little about my favorite musicians as possible, see, because invariably, the artists who transport me to another place and express my most embarrassing emotions are, uh, human. Humans who sometimes say douchey things or hold views I find offensive or creep on teenage girls, etc., etc. I’m too young to remember life without Google, but I like to imagine that before the internet made every detail of a person’s life available at a few clicks, music was more mysterious.

Musicians who remain determinedly enigmatic like Callahan seem like a rarity in our media-saturated days.

Apocalypse, shot and directed by Austin-based filmmaker Hanly Banks over two weeks of the American leg of a 2011 tour, is mostly a concert video. The easy pacing, trippy color filters and beautiful, hazy shots make Apocalypse highly suitable viewing for a laid-back evening, ideally accompanied by a beer or an herbal remedy.

What we don’t see much of: band members, crowds

[18] Missoula Independent • November 15 – November 22, 2012

at the shows, any adoring fans. We see the 46-year-old Callahan on a dark stage dressed in a white suit jacket, strumming his guitar, a spotlight illuminating his stillyoung face, cut between shots of sunny, summery roadside Americana and interviews where he delivers cryptic soundbites on what he likes to write songs about.

What Callahan seems to lack is a sense of humor. I feel like if I’d made that joke about penis envy to Callahan’s face, he’d just stare at me and then walk away.

Apocalypse falters a bit in a part where he sings “America” over and over while images of a baseball player sliding into homebase are superimposed on Callahan’s face.

It’s unsubtle to the point of silliness.

But maybe Callahan shouldn’t have a sense of humor. His oeuvre is melancholy rock music to play in your car on a long, solo road trip or while lying in bed recovering from a break-up. Friends of mine who avoid expression of feelings at all costs will likely not care for Callahan’s heart-on-his-sleeve intensity, but that’s their loss. My favorite Smog song is “I Break Horses,” a B-side that’s about a man who breaks horses but “does not tend

to them,” and the whole thing is a metaphor for sleeping with women and not calling them back. I simultaneously understand how overdramatic the song is and sit back feeling devastated by it every time.

In many ways, Callahan’s somber tone and beautiful poetry remind me of Leonard Cohen, another artist firmly in favor of expressing serious feelings. The two share a rich songwriter’s voice that imparts authority even when they’re being heavy handed with the metaphors.

The hour-long film doesn’t reach a resolution: Callahan just takes a break, then plays an encore and finishes.

The credits roll and he remains a distant figure on a stage.

We can’t all sound like he does, but we can sing along and imagine we do. We can take home whatever we want from his music, because by keeping his motivations secret, Callahan lets his art be ours.

Full circle The new “Assassin’s Creed” protagonist isn’t just Native. He’s a Montana-born Crow.

by Alex Sakariassen

Noah Watts strolled into a Los Angeles casting office earlier this year to audition for what he thought was a feature film. He was handed a script for a leading role, delivered his lines and left. The office called him back in for a second audition, then a third. The context of the film was kept secret until, having landed the role, Watts signed a non-disclosure agreement.

As it turned out, Watts hadn’t auditioned for a film at all. He’d just been cast as the main protagonist in “Assassin’s Creed 3,” the latest installment in Ubisoft’s hit video game series. Ubisoft intended to keep the public in the dark about the game, but Watts learned two key elements: The setting would be America’s Revolutionary War, and his character would be a member of the Mohawk tribe.

Watts was born in Livingston. His family relocated to Bozeman when he was 3 years old, and he spent much of his childhood playing sports and acting in school productions like The Wizard of Oz. More to the point, however, Watts grew up Crow.

He traveled to the Crow Reservation every August from a very young age, gathering with his mother’s family and participating in traditional dances and ceremonies at the annual Crow Fair Celebration. “It was always there,” Watts says of his Native heritage. “I never questioned it.” The trip taught Watts the value of having pride in his roots.

Watts never really considered acting as a career. As a teenager, he was much more interested in sports. But during his junior year at Bozeman High School, Watts joined the speech and debate teams. He traveled the state wowing judges with dramatic monologues, winning 13th place at a national tournament his first year.

As a senior in fall 2000, Watts also landed his first feature film role as Waylon Walks Alone in Alex and Andrew Smith’s The Slaughter Rule, alongside renowned actors David Morse and Ryan Gosling. It was Watts’ first professional audition, too. He was 17.

“The stuff happening on the set, getting a trailer, signing the contracts, working in front of a 35 mm camera—it was all new and exciting,” Watts says. “My first role I ever tried out for and I got it. That doesn’t happen to too many people.”

Months after wrapping his scenes for The Slaughter Rule, Watts traveled to Nebraska to begin principal photography for Chris Eyre’s feature film Skins. Taking on the role of Herbie Yellow Lodge—also a Native American character—required that Watts take three weeks off from high school. He graduated that May and promptly won a scholarship to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles.

Watts has racked up quite a resume in the intervening decade. He guest starred on a series of hit TV shows including “CSI: Miami,” “Ringer” and “Sons of Anarchy.”

He played Native American characters in a number of independent films. The stage has even called him back; he played the lead role in the Southwest Repertory Theatre’s rendition of The Indolent Boys, and traveled to London’s inaugural Origins festival in 2009 to reprise a role from a 2008 “Native Voices at the Autry” production.

For Watts, work has a way of bringing him back to his roots. His latest film is yet to be released, an independent film titled The Last Beyond shot entirely in

Watts’ hometown of Livingston. The movie is set during the Depression and Watts portrays the Native protagonist Joe Running Elk. The last project Watts worked on in Montana was his first, The Slaughter Rule, meaning The Last Beyond has brought him full circle. Watts considers himself a part of a cadre of Native American writers, directors and actors who, over the past 12 years or so, have exercised increasing control over how their people are represented in popular entertainment.

“It’s a huge honor to be part of the group that’s breaking these boundaries, stepping forward and saying, ‘We have a right to tell our stories, and we have a right to direct our stories, and we want to act in our own [stories],’” Watts says. “We need to control our image in the media and not let some other third party control it for us, tell us who we are, tell everyone else who we are.”

Watts spent much of the past summer at Ubisoft’s headquarters in Montreal, voicing the role of Mohawk protagonist Connor Kenway and conducting facial- and motion-capture work for in-game cinematics. Watts says he relied on memories of his Crow upbringing to inform how he carried himself as Kenway.

“I just tried to think about certain people in my life who were on that side of my family, the Native side,” Watts says. “How they carried themselves, how they talked, how they moved. I was so happy that a game of this caliber, this size, would even consider using a Native American as the main protagonist.”

The “Assassin’s Creed” series has long been hailed for the depth of its historic detail. The plot itself is pure fiction, following a millennia-old war between a guild of assassins and the Knights Templar. The parkour stylings of game movement, from shimmying up walls and perching on steeples to vaulting over enemies, stem from a similar stretch of the imagination. But the settings are a different story. In constructing the original “Assassin’s Creed” world, designers created largely accurate depictions of three cities from the Third Crusade, circa 1191: Jerusalem, Damascus and Acre. Those same developers researched maps and writings from Renaissance Italy in building “Assassin’s Creed 2.”

And for “Assassin’s Creed 3,” Watts found himself working with cultural consultants from the Mohawk Nation. Those consultants guided development of not just Watts’ character, but the villages and Native people with whom players interact. Watts even had to learn to speak the Mohawk language to deliver many of his lines.

“It’s a beautiful language,” Watts says, “but trying to learn a whole new language and speak it like you’ve spoken it your entire life is quite a challenge.”

Watts jokes that playing “Assassin’s Creed 3,” which was released on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 late last month, feels a bit surreal. He’s an avid gamer and longtime fan of the first installments of the “Assassin’s Creed” saga. But he’s used to other voices guiding him through the game. Now it just feels like he’s talking to himself.

“I never would have thought they’d do this,” Watts says, “put an Indian in there—let alone me.”

“Assassin’s Creed 3” comes out on PC and Mac on Nov. 20.

D A W N S releases a new single at Break If you know David Boone you won’t be surprised to learn he’s been ridiculously busy. He started touring the West Coast a couple months ago in an RV with his band, D A W N S, and his family, hitting up the Bing Lounge in Portland and a multitude of radio studios. They went south and headed toward Texas, and in San Antonio they recorded for a PBS special called “The Science of Sound,” which will air in a couple of weeks. The RV and gear trailer took up 10 parking spots and eventually it got ticketed, so they abandoned it at Boone’s brother’s house and replaced it with a 15-passenger van and a Subaru. For the tour’s second leg, Boone traveled the East Coast as a solo act performing D A W N S songs, including at the CMJ Music Festival in New York. He met back up with the band in Chicago on election night and they travelled the Midwest, ending up in Iowa to record for the popular Daytrotter website where so many good indie bands go for live session recordings. “It was intense,” Boone says of the whirlwind schedule.

His upcoming shows at Break Espresso in Missoula bring him back to his roots. He started there years ago as an acoustic solo musician playing to evening coffee drinkers. The shows celebrate the release of his new single “So Help Me God,” which comes out on vinyl with a B-side called “Camouflage.” This is on the heels of the recent D A W N S EP release, and it’s a cool peek into the full-length album, which Boone just finished recording in London with Danton Supple (producer for Coldplay and The Doves).

Boone delivers moody Americana folk while D A W N S embraces a brighter pop sound that would fit more on a new U2 album. “So Help Me God” is not what you’d expect from either side of the coin. It’s garage rock flavored with a driving bassline (a la Golden Earring) and bold guitar riffs. Boone likes to embody characters in his songs and here he’s playfully defiant, asking questions but dismissing the easy answers religion provides: “All you sheep in the steeple fast asleep, you better listen up!” he belts out. And, in those thoughtful lyrics, this is still pure Boone. (Erika Fredrickson) David Boone plays an acoustic show at Break Espresso with John Sporman and opener Kira Means Fri., Nov. 16, at 7 PM. He plays with the full D A W N S lineup at Break Espresso Sat., Nov. 17, at 10 PM for the vinyl release party with openers Darah Fogerty and Ryan James. $7 each night or $10 for both nights. Advance tickets available at Break.

Cursive: I Am Gemini The density of ideas in Cursive’s new I Am Gemini is impressive and unmanageable, like a dozen dogs with their leashes tied together. The songs pull relentlessly in different directions, dashing off into new time signatures and crashing riffs for eight or 16 bars before taking up another scent. It is an impressive display of songwriting versatility, often exciting but also stubbornly incoherent.

Such is the curse of the concept album. The title track is about twin brothers, Cassius and Pollock—presumably modeled on the mythical Greeks Castor and Pollux—separated at birth and then reunited “at a house that is not a home.” It helps to read the liner notes. Oth-

erwise you’re left to wonder why the frenetic beat of “Wowowow” is interrupted by speculation on Siamese twin sisters, and why virtually every satisfying stretch of rock is thwarted by a descriptive interlude.

In its rush to make us think, I Am Gemini leaves little time to make us feel. The concept holds together the album but breaks apart the tracks, which, in their schizoid variety, all wind up sounding vaguely the same.

Here is rock as high art. I admire the ambition, but I cannot enjoy the songs. (Dan Brooks) Cursive plays the Palace Mon., Nov. 19, at 9 PM with Boys and the Brass Monkey Band. $15. Advance tickets at Rockin Rudy’s, Ear Candy and at 1111Presents.com

Social Studies: Developer Certain moments in the opening bars of “Paint,” the last track on Social Studies’ Developer, disappear into silence entirely. It’s a startling trick: Silence becomes part of the beat, and even after it has been filled in by lingering bass or arcing guitar, your brain puts it there. It is the logical extension of Social Studies’ atmospheric technique, a pop aesthetic that gives each sound time to be heard and considered.

Of course, you can save a lot of that time by thinking about Beach House. The terrible irony of atmospheric music is that it all kind of sounds the same, and Social

[20] Missoula Independent • November 15 – November 22, 2012

Studies drinks deeply from the tossing sea of melancholy reverb that is synth pop in 2012. The title track is a sort of inverse “Silver Soul,” descending where the Beach House song climbs and settling into its beat where “Silver Soul” gets antsy. Still, the similarity is inescapable. Natalia Rogovin’s voice is more brassy and less ethereal than Victoria Legrand’s, and at times Developer reaches for something grittier than its counterparts’ ambitions.

Mostly, though, it remains trapped by the high walls of dream pop, a satisfying exemplar of the species that periodically scrabbles to escape. (Dan Brooks)

Art of compromise Lincoln crafts an epic story of pragmatic politics

by Scott Renshaw

[22] Missoula Independent • November 15 – November 22, 2012

“Compromise … or you risk it all,” the president of the United States warns an ideologically rigid member of his own party—and no, you haven’t just walked into a Campaign 2012 reality show. The setting is January 1865 in Steven Spielberg’s grandly intimate Lincoln, and it’s Abraham Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) trying to shore up support for the 13th Amendment to the Constitution—the abolition of slavery—from Pennsylvania congressman Thaddeus Stevens (Tommy Lee Jones), a staunch abolitionist who wants to insist not just on the end of slavery, but full citizenship for all free people.

And Stevens should be one of the easy ones to convince.

politics has rarely been presented as such a combination of filth and nobility.

At the center of it all is Lincoln himself, captured in a performance by Day-Lewis that may be even more astonishing than the hosannas he’s received thus far. Kushner’s script gives Lincoln a propensity for sharing folksy anecdotes and remaining personally in contact with average citizens and soldiers, making it clear how the president’s interpersonal skills allowed him to nudge people towards his own goals. Yet Lincoln is also a fascinating case study in “uneasy lies the head that wears the crown,” as we see Lincoln repeatedly struggle with eth-

The release of Lincoln at the end of another bitterly divisive election cycle is a savvy move for this fascinating exploration of realpolitik, based in part on Doris Kearns Goodwin’s book Team of Rivals. Far from the cradleto-grave biography suggested by the title, Lincoln in fact focuses narrowly on a few months in early 1865—four years into the Civil War—as Lincoln makes the passage of the 13th Amendment in the House of Representatives the repository for all the political capital from his reelection. But first he has to placate the radical wing of his own Republican Party led by Stevens. Then there are the more conservative Republicans, who insist on attempts to negotiate peace with the Confederate States before pushing for abolition. And even if Lincoln manages to keep his majority in line, he’ll still need defectors from the minority Democrats in order to reach the constitutionally required two-thirds approval.

That’s a lot of backroom dealing to keep straight, and it’s a fairly remarkable achievement. Tony Kushner’s screenplay not only makes it evident who all the players and their respective positions are, but does so with lively dialogue. Kushner steers us through the work of the trio of political fixers (James Spader, John Hawkes and Tim Blake Nelson) the Lincoln administration hires to offer government jobs to lame-duck Democrats as incentive to vote “yes.” He lets us observe as Lincoln’s own cabinet argues against making abolition a priority over ending the bloody Civil War, and gives us a terrific scene in which Stevens browbeats a Democrat—whose contested seat will ultimately be left in Republican hands—into siding with the president. The nuts-and-bolts work of

ically or legally questionable decisions as needed for the greater good, or phrasing a statement to Congress with just the lawyerly turn of phrase that will make it technically true—moments that should give contemporary viewers on both sides of the political spectrum pause.

It’s a complex, layered portrayal that’s riveting nearly every moment Day-Lewis is on screen.

If there’s an exception, it comes in the moments when Lincoln focuses on the president’s personal life, including his relationships with his emotionally fragile wife, Mary (Sally Field), and his oldest son, Robert ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a college student who wants to join the war effort against his parents’ desires. The attempts to convey personal issues also tugging at a president’s sleeve are never nearly as compelling as the story behind the political maneuvering, and Spielberg indulges in some of his most unwelcome tendency toward melodrama when Lincoln and Mary quarrel in the White House while a literal storm rages outside their window.

There’s a much more effective glimpse at the man behind the speeches and the stovepipe hat in the thankless work he does in order to make history. Lincoln is far from an act of hero worship. As we see at last, when we realize how much of his principle Thaddeus Stevens could be sacrificing by backing down, it’s an epic celebration of pragmatism that dares us to see the word “compromise” as a thing of beauty.

[24] Missoula Independent • November 15 – November 22, 2012

There’s usually a farmer at the market who’s amenable to working a late-season deal on kale. This is partly thanks to timing: When farmers markets are getting ready to end for the year is exactly when the summer’s planting of kale is at its peak, in quality and quantity. Kale gets sweeter with cool weather and can handle light freezing, but by the time the first frost is on the pumpkin it’s mostly forgotten. By then the autumn harvest is in full swing, a distracting lineup of things like shiny winter squash and belly-filling potatoes, and the green hearty leaves of kale get left behind. But now is when I pay attention to kale with renewed interest, because it’s my favorite green to freeze for winter, and now’s the time.

Kale, we all know, is one of the healthiest things you can eat. It’s easy to like the idea of kale, easy to like the first time one eats it. But it’s also easy to tire of one’s go-to recipes for anything, including kale. A season of kale overload combined with an abundance of supply means that a lot of farmers end up plowing under a lot of really good kale at the end of the season. This makes farmers ready to cut deals.

I have a pretty good kale deal going. I got into it by first identifying the grower of the best kale at my farmers market, and then asking him if he’d let me glean his field before he tills it under. Gleaning is a time-honored tradition by which the village poor people descend upon the spent fields after the farmer has harvested his crop, looking for leftovers. Asking a farmer if you can glean his field is kind of like asking Don Corleone for a favor on the day of his daughter’s wedding—no Sicilian could refuse.

Though my kale farmer didn’t necessarily want me tromping around his field, he didn’t want the crop to go to waste either. We made a deal.

Next week he brought a kitchen trash bag to market stuffed with bright leaves of curly green kale, which is my hands-down favorite of all kale varieties for winter freezing. The leaves are tender and robust, with a delicate flavor and satisfying levels of starch.

He charged me $20 for the bag, which contained the rough equivalent of about 20 $3 bunches.

“It’s unwashed,” he warned me, apologetically.

At home, I washed the leaves and pulled the leafy parts off the stems, and steamed them for three minutes, which is the recommended time for steamblanching greens for storage. I then transferred the leaves to a basin of cold water to “shock” them, halting the blanching and preserving the leaves’ bright green color.

FLASH IN THE PAN

The point of blanching, either by boiling or steaming, is to kill enzymes that would survive freezing and slowly digest your harvest from the inside, in the freezer.

After shocking the leaves I let them drain in a colander, gently squeezing out more water, and then packed the leaves into quart freezer bags, loosely but full. I zipped the lock most of the way across, carefully squeezing the bag so all the air escaped, and zipped it the remaining way shut, creating a poor man’s vacuum seal.

I store these green bricks in the freezer, where they remain available when I need them. Most kale recipes I use begin by blanching the kale first anyway, so step one is already done.

One of my favorite things to do with frozen kale is to stir-fry it with garlic, oyster sauce and bacon or beef. It’s my thinly veiled version of the Chinese classic beef with broccoli and oyster sauce. Kale holds the garlicky oyster sauce well.

Another classic is the ubiquitous golden beet and kale salad, which can be found in various forms at coops or natural food grocers. Poking around online I was impressed at how many versions of this recipe exist, most of which include ginger, sweet bell pepper and broccoli sprouts—all of which we skip at home, making a much less busy and more leveraged version.

We even skip the olive oil, leaving the tahini in the dressing as the salad’s only source of oil.

The first step is to blanch and shock the kale, per above, but only blanch for half the time you would if you were storing it. If you’re using frozen kale, let a bag thaw. Chop the blanched kale as coarsely or thinly as you like (most versions of the recipe call for chiffonade, or thin ribbons). Mix your chopped leaves with grated golden beets, grated carrots, pressed garlic and whole, fresh oregano leaves.

The use of fresh oregano is our recipe’s most distinctive twist, thanks to the brilliance of my sweetheart, who started doing this. All other versions I’ve found use dried oregano, but with fresh that salad is a whole different animal. The dressing is equal parts tahini, soy sauce and apple cider vinegar. Toss it all together with the leaves and roots, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

The juxtaposition of the tahini’s nuttiness and the aromatic oregano is striking and exotic, but only happens every third or so mouthful when you happen upon an oregano leaf. Every single leaf of kale, meanwhile, is drenched in a nutty, soy-saucy flavor that is tough to get sick of. This is a good thing, because I have a lot of all of the ingredients in this magic kale salad.

That’s a slick can: Yes it is, because Wildwood, Montana’s only all-organic brewery, uses shrink-sleeve labels that adhere to the can when passed through a steam tunnel. Compared to printing directly on aluminum, the plastic labels allow for much more vibrant colors. The Mystical Stout label features loggers chopping down morel mushrooms. Wildwood brewer Jim Lueders says this represents what will soon be part of an on-site, closed-loop integrated system of brewing and farming. “It’s a perfect marriage growing mushrooms on the spent grain of a brewery,” he says.

Just the stout? Nope. Wildwood also started canning its Bodacious Bock and Ambitious Pale Lager. Montanans, Lueders says, “are really interested in beer in cans because they want to take the beer on trips—rafting trips or pack trips, maybe into the backcountry.” And when you get back, they’re recyclable.

night moves If Ray Charles sang it, well, it must be true: “The night time is the right time to be with the one you love.” That said, so often I have found myself navigating Missoula’s nighttime with complete strangers. Those moments are no less memorable or important. It’s conceivable that a person crossing the Northside footbridge at 2 a.m. could happen upon a large, shirtless man and a few of his friends drinking malt liquor, or more specifically, brass monkeys.

The large man may request that you too remove your shirt, that you too drink some brass monkey. It’s a frightening proposition: say no and you disrespect the gentleman; say WHAT: Artini Redux: Missoula by Night

over time It’s all over. For you Top Hat devotees life as you have experienced it is about to end. You, of course, are aware that the place was sold a couple of months back? That someone with—gasp!— money bought it and intends to remodel some of the old building.

Over the last few years, the Garr family has updated the sound system, refurbished the elegant wooden bar, added an espresso machine and brought in a multitude of touring and local acts that have changed the venue from a mostly blues and bar band club to a place for electronica, hip-hop, indie rock and even aerial artists. New owner Nick Checota plans on adding even more to the place with a newer sound system and by knocking out the middle wall to open the main room.

I can hear the cries and the clamoring for the “good old days” already. Just like everything else about Montana—hunting, fishing, skiing, speed-limitless driving—things were better a) before you got here, b) before you were born, c) when you were in college. To that I say, “Whatevs.” The place has a gorgeous bar and a fine stage, but it could use a little to the annual Scandinavian Craft Fair and Bake Sale featuring cookies, lefse, pies and homemade candies. The craft sale boasts homemade crafts, RADA cutlery, cookbooks and more, not to mention soup and pie lunch. At the Immanuel Lutheran Church (where else?), 830 South Ave. W. 8 AM–2 PM.

Never fear, lovers of fresh, local num-nums, the Heirloom Winter Market at the Missoula County Fairgrounds is rolling with music, kids’ activities, locally grown produce, meat, baked goods, jam, honey and so much more. 11 AM–2 PM. Weather fans and freaks head to

the UC Bookstore at UM and meet up with weather peeps Brooke “F5” Foster and Adam “The House” Painter for the KECI Weather Team Calendar Signing. 11:30 AM. (Aside: Where Heyka at?)

MOUNTAIN HIGH

I

am upset with Norman Maclean. But only because he chose to share his fiction writing with the world at such a late age in his life. We have, of course, the novella A River Runs Through It and some short stories. He made economic, poetic sentences, even in his non-fiction work Young Men and Fire. One example, “They had come to the station of the cross where something you want to see and can’t shuts out the sight of everything that otherwise could be seen.”

Maclean’s Missoula still exists in his writing and in our imaginations. It’s no real surprise that folks from the Seeley Lake and Missoula Community Foundations are interested in developing the Norman Maclean Trail.

The project would connect the two towns along a

route similar to that Norman and his brother Paul are said to have taken in their youth. According to MCF Executive Director Meredith Printz the purpose of the trail would be “to educate people about an area that has had a lot of diverse uses over time.”

—Jason McMackin The creation of the Norman Maclean Trail is discussed at the Shining Mountains Chapter of the Montana Wilderness Association meeting at the Trail Head, 221 E. Front St., on Tue., Nov. 20, at 7 PM. The public is encouraged to attend.

The Minimalists are Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus. They frighten me.

Why? I’m not ready to “unpack” the why. I’m more frightened by how they live their lives. See, these guys gave it all up. The “it” being fancy jobs that paid them sixfigure salaries, as well the trappings that go along with making money, like debt, anxiety, stress and more stuff than a dozen humans could possibly need. They created three categories of expenses: Needs, Wants and Likes. In the first month of their plan to escape debt (which can come off a bit like an infomercial sales pitch) they expect followers of the plan to cut 100 percent of the expenses associated with likes. No bear claws for you, junior. Month two, it’s 100 percent of the wants—new vehicles, nicer looking clothes. Month three, it’s time cut needs, but only by 50 percent. You may need to rent a cheaper home or sell the one you live in, or perhaps it’s dried frijoles for supper rather than the canned ones.

These guys did all of these things and made it work for them. Their dedication and discipline illustrates how arrested by money our society is, how

money traps us into unsatisfying careers and lives. The basic questions are this: How much is your freedom worth? What would you do to buy back that freedom?

ADVICE GODDESS

By Amy Alkon

FOUR WETTINGS AND A FUNERAL My hubby and I had our first child last year, and we’re so happy and proud to be the creators of the most adorable creature either of us has ever seen, but our marriage is tanking. We aren’t naive; we expected change. But we’re both stressed and exhausted and we never have sex. Our lives seem like one big dull, diaper-changing, kid-focused routine. The scariest thought keeps crossing my mind: What if our marriage can’t survive our having a kid?

—Bundle Of Worry Dr. Seuss is not a couples therapist.

“Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?” needs to be followed up, at least one night a week,

by Mommy and Daddy making some sounds that don’t come from the horsie, the rooster, or the hippo.

The advice to have “date night” that you probably see everywhere but the bottom of your shoe is right on. Where it misses is in how to do it and why. Researchers have actually quantified where happiness comes from (no, not from stoned leprechauns passing around a bottomless bag of Doritos at the end of the rainbow). According to studies looking at fraternal and identical twins raised together and apart, how happy you are appears to be as much as 50 percent genetic. About 10 percent of your happiness level stems from your life circumstances (stuff like your health, income, and the fact that you are now parents and feel like you haven’t had a good night’s sleep since John Quincy Adams was president).

The good news is, about 40 percent of your happiness is within your control, through how you think and activities you can do (like date night). The bad news on the good news is something called “the hedonic treadmill,” which is not a new form of torture at the gym. It’s researchers’ cute name for how we quickly adapt to both positive and negative changes in our lives and pop right back to our baseline level of happiness or mopeyness. This means it might not be enough to drag your weary, bleary parental cabooses out to dinner every Wednesday night. Sure, that’s better than sitting home fretting that your kid won’t get early admission to Harvard, but research by positive psychologists Dr. Kennon M. Sheldon and Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky finds that variety—“a continual stream of fresh, positive experiences”— is key in increasing and sustaining happiness.

So, you need to go out on a variety of date nights—changing up your activity every

COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD INSTRUCTION

week and taking turns planning it so one of you will always be surprised.

Lyubomirsky talked on my radio show about having Grandma babysit her toddler overnight and taking off with her husband to a hotel just a few miles from their house.

(If you can’t afford babysitters, or Grandma’s six states away, trade babysitting with friends with a kid around the same age.) You don’t have to do anything elaborate or expensive. You can borrow a Wii and ski the Swiss Alps from your living room rug, have a picnic dinner and then ride the Ferris wheel, or just go get hot dogs and make out in the car.

Keeping your sex life alive is what differentiates you two from very tired roommates who once got drunk, hooked up, and forgot birth control. Like many new parents, you probably think you’re too exhausted to have sex, but maybe you’re just too exhausted to have the spontaneous sex marathons you had before the kid came. First, forget the idea of spontaneity. Parental sex needs to be scheduled sex, or you’ll probably never have it. You should also redefine sex as something along the lines of “doing things together naked.” (Think of it as a snack-sized version of your former sex life.) Remember, the point isn’t breaking endurance records; it’s getting started making out and then having as much sexual activity as you can stay awake for.

I know, having a baby looks so idyllic in picture books. The stork drops him off one day, and then on the next page, he’s 5. In real life, there are back-to-back trips to Poison Control, meaningful conversations about the day’s shade of poo, and hopes that people will think you’re just holding the baby for some other lady when he’s screaming his lungs out on a plane. But, surely there are good times in between.

And according to the research, another way to be measurably happier is expressing gratitude—taking moments throughout the day to appreciate what you have and to express appreciation to each other. Put in some effort to be happy and maybe you’ll not only stop fretting about divorce, you’ll start having reckless sex (with each other), and before long, your husband will be taking time off from worrying that your 2-yearold doesn’t have enough extracurriculars to read Dickens to your womb.s to read Dickens to your womb.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

By Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19): In old Christian and Islamic lore, the dove was a symbol of the holy spirit. The bird was considered so pure and sacred that the devil, who was an expert shapeshifter, could not take on its form. The dove had a different meaning in other traditions, however. Among the ancient Greeks, it had a special relationship with Aphrodite, the goddess of love. In Rome, its eggs were regarded as aphrodisiacs. Drawing on all these meanings, I’m nominating the dove to be your power animal in the coming week. You will have an excellent chance to intensify your connection with divine truths through the power of love and eros—and vice versa.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your next assignment is to deepen and refine your relationship with your temptations. That doesn’t mean you should shed all caution and simply give in to them. Rather, I’m suggesting you escape the bind that makes you feel like you have to either ruthlessly repress your complicated longings or else thoroughly express them. Is there an in-between position you can find? A way you can appreciate the mysterious gift that the temptations confer and not be miserably obsessed by them? A perspective in which you’re neither tormented by guilt nor driven to compromise your integrity?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’re a bit like a professional jet pilot who is operating the pirate ship ride at an amusement park. You have resemblances to a top chef who’s shopping for gourmet ingredients in a seedy convenience store. In other words, Gemini, you may feel slightly offkilter or dispossessed, even though you have a lot going for you. Here’s the best possible thing you could do while you wait for the fates to show you how to make a correction: Make it your intention to feel centered, poised, and at peace exactly as you are right now.

a

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Contrary to conventional wisdom, there is currently enough food available to feed everyone on the planet. The problem is, it’s not distributed efficiently. Some people get far more food than they need, and even waste a lot of it, while less fortunate folks go hungry. I invite you to think about whether you might have a metaphorically comparable situation in your own life, Cancerian. Is there a part of your psyche that’s well-nurtured but a different part that receives meager shares of love and support? Are you overstuffed in one way but starved in another? The coming weeks would be an excellent time to correct such an imbalance. (More on food:tinyurl.com/HungryWorld.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This horoscope is not an advertisement for ceremonial shovels. I am receiving no payment from a ceremonial shovel company for suggesting that you procure a customized engraved gold digging tool for your own personal use. And I will feel fine if you don’t actually get a real one, but instead merely imagine yourself wielding a pretend version. The fact is, Leo, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to do a groundbreaking ritual: to dig up the first scoop of metaphorical dirt in the place where you will build your future dream house, masterpiece, or labor of love.

c

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I don’t think you’re fully aware of the game you’ve been immersed in. You may even be in denial that you’re playing it. If I’m right about this, please make it a priority to acknowledge what’s going on and identify the exact nature of the game. You can’t afford to be innocent about the subterranean forces that are in motion. It’s especially important not to be too nice and polite to see the complicated truth. Please note: There’s no need to be a cynical shark—that would be as inappropriate a response as being a sweet little lamb. But you should definitely activate your jungle senses.

d

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): On Reddit.com, someone asked members of the community the following: What is your best unanswerable question? Among the more serious offerings were “What is love?”, “What is magic?”, “Why is there something as opposed to nothing?”, and “What is the meaning of life?” Then there were more avant-garde possibilities: “Where do squirrels go during hurricanes?”, “Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?”, and “If I asked you to sleep with me, would your answer be the same as the answer to this question?” After evaluating the current astrological omens, Libra, I urge you to pose your own best riddle—a query that will provide maximum stimulation as you meditate on it during the next four months.

e

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An environmental organization in New Zealand found that the local fishing industry wastes about 70 percent of its haul. In contrast, Iceland manages to use 96 percent of every fish caught. For example, New Zealand companies throw away most of the liver, roe, and heads of the fish, while Iceland has come up with ways to take advantage of all that stuff. Judging from your current astrological omens, Scorpio, I conclude that it’s crucial for you to take your cue from Iceland rather than New Zealand in the coming weeks. Be inventive, efficient, and thorough in harnessing the power of all your raw materials.

f

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “They will say you are on the wrong road,” said poet Antonio Porchia, “if it is your own.” I suspect you may have to deal with wrong-headed badgering like that in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. In fact, you could experience a surge of discouraging words and bad advice that tries to shoo you away from the path with heart. Some of the push may come from enemies, some from friends or loved ones, and some from deluded little voices in your own head. I hope you won’t be demoralized by the onslaught, but will instead respond like a brave hero who uses adversity as a motivating force.

g

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’m sure you’ve got thousands of practical details to attend to.

Your schedule may be as busy as it has been in months. But I hope you will find time to do what I consider essential to your well-being, and that is to wander and wonder. In fact, let’s make that your motto: to wander and wonder. Even if it’s just for a few stolen moments between your serious appointments, allow yourself to meander off into the unknown and marvel at all the curious things you find.

Be on the lookout for high strangeness that thrills your imagination, for exotic pleasures that titillate your lust for novelty, and for fertile chaos that blows your mind in all the right ways.

h

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): James Joyce was a great novelist but not much of a fighter. He picked a more imposing and athletic buddy to go drinking with, though: Ernest Hemingway. If the two men encountered any alcohol-induced trouble, Joyce would slink behind his friend and yell, “Deal with him, Hemingway, deal with him!” I don’t anticipate that you’ll be in the vicinity of any bar scuffles in the coming week, Aquarius. But I do think you would benefit from having a potent and persuasive ally on your side. It’s time to add some heft and clout to your arsenal of resources.

i

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Is it possible that you have been too receptive and empathetic for your own good lately? I mean, I love how attuned you are to the ebb and flow of subtle energies—it’s one of your most winsome and powerful qualities—but I fear you may be going too far. As heroic as it might seem to be the most sensitive and responsive person in a ten-mile radius, I’d rather see you work on being more self-contained right now. That’s why, for a limited time only, I’m recommending that you turn the full force of your touchy-feely solicitude on yourself.

McClure and Stacey Keleen McClure, husband and wife was Grantor,

First American Title Insurance Company has succeeded First American Title Company of Montana, Inc., a Montana corporation as Successor Trustee.

The Deed of Trust encumbers real property (“Property”) located in Missoula County, Montana, more particularly described as follows: A tract of land located in Block 13 of West View Addition, a platted subdivision in Missoula County, Montana, being a portion of Lots 14 and 15 in said Block 13, located in the SE1/4 of Section 27, Township 12 North, Range 20 West, P.M.M., and being more particularly described as Tract B of Certificate of Survey No. 564. By written instrument, beneficial interest in the Deed of Trust was assigned to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association. Beneficiary has declared the Grantor in default of the terms of the Deed of Trust and the promissory note (“Note”) secured by the Deed of Trust because of Grantor’s failure timely to pay all monthly installments of principal, interest and, if applicable, escrow reserves for taxes and/or insurance as required by the Note and Deed of Trust.

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 nonmonetary defaults are also cured) and shall result in Trustee’s termination of the foreclosure and cancellation of the foreclosure sale.
