Local Businessman Ensures Home Security
G Sales Event On Page 7

abe Perry is no stranger in having to deal with a “few bad apples.” As owner/operator of Gabe’s Conoco & Gold Dust Casino, for the last decade, he’s had his share of encounters with both employees and “customers” who thought that they could get away with a bit of petty theft. After purchasing a less-thaneffective security system – installed by a professional agency – Gabe decided to take matters into his own hands. While this is not a tale of vigilante justice, reminiscent of Helena’s Old West history, it is a tale of modern security and the peace-of-mind that comes with it. After paying several hundred dollars for a security system that failed to report break-ins, while incorrectly reporting nonevents, like wind rattling the door – further costing Gabe, as the police charge a fine for false-alarm calls – he decided that he’d had enough. “They were pretty stupid about where they placed their motion sensors,” comments Gabe. “We got broken into and the alarm system never even went off, but I learned what not to do. You need redundant systems, you can’t get away with having just one sensor, like they put in.” He decided that he would install his own system; wiring point-of-sale cameras, more appropriately placed floor cameras and motion sensors, and then routed them directly to his home, so that he could keep a constant eye on his business. His system proved effective,
Gabe Perry PREVENTWatch owner drastically reducing loss of revenue from what many businesses refer to as “shrinkage,” or financial loss due to theft. In fact, his system inspired other business owners to ask him to install similar systems at their own locations, eventually giving birth to PREVENTWatch, LLC. Selling off his interest in the Conoco & casino to one of his partners, Gabe is now pursuing security excellence for both residential and business clients. “We can install a security system where they can have no monthly monitoring fee at all, they just get emails and texts directly from their system,” comments Gabe. “You can, at any time, watch your home or business. You can watch it right on your phone. It’s affordable, you don’t have to get a big system. With the
rash of recent break-ins, it’s good to know that low-cost, effective security options are out there. People can decide the level of control and what monthly cost that they have, to cover their home or business.” PREVENTWatch offers modular security options; start with a basic, free package and add the options that meet your needs, with additional features adding to your base pricing. “We are trying not to do hardwire systems, they tend to be more expensive. We can have a wireless system installed in 2-3 hours at about one-third the cost. We will do hardwire installations but, for most people, it’s just more expensive than they need. With the wireless, you don’t need a keypad or anything like that, with just the hub and an app on your smartphone. You keep an eye on your home with a basic alarm system that will text you if anyone comes into your house. They [home owners] don’t have to get a Helena alarm permit since, with this system, the police aren’t directly involved. There’s no monitoring center that calls the police when it goes off. Customers just get the notification directly and can decide what they want to do with the information themselves,” Perry states. “At the gas station, I’d get a $50 charge, about once every 6 weeks from the police showing up on false alarms: the wind moving the door, or employees accidentally tripping it PREVENTWatch Continued on pg 3

on their way out,” he says of that first system that he had installed, which inspired him to provide a better option to Helena. ”This way, parents don’t have to worry about the police being called if like, their kid sneaks out, but they’ll get a notification if the alarm is tripped for any reason, even that. It [the system] can give you a report of when people go in or out or go into a certain area. You can wirelessly lock or unlock your doors, for servicemen – a carpet cleaner or plumber or whatever – while you’re at work. There’s water-leak detection available; we have a basement, so we’ll activate it before we go on a trip. You can even get texts if your smoke alarm goes off. Some people have even set it up so they can keep an eye on their pets, while they’re away. Iris® is even going to be coming out with a pet door that you can open and close remotely.” So drop by PREVENTWatch.com or call Gabe at 461-9657 and see what he can do to help you protect your home or business.

HOLLYWOOD -- The only statement Mia Farrow’s 25-year-old son Ronan Farrow made after her recent assertion, in “Vanity Fair” magazine, that he might be Frank Sinatra’s son and not Woody Allen’s, her partner at the time, despite no DNA test was, “Look, we’re all possibly Frank Sinatra’s son.” All that aside, his new book, “Pandora’s Box: How American Military Aid Creates America’s Enemies,” was just released, and he’s set to host a new weekday show on MSNBC, starting in January. Ronan did admit, “Being under the microscope meant I was never given any slack. I wasn’t given a lot of margin for error; it’s kept me driven.”
*** Sad to report, Joanne Woodward is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Woodward won her Oscar for Ewan McGregor “The Three Faces of Eve” (1958) and was nominated three times after that. She won two Emmy Awards for “See How She Runs” (1978) and “Do You Remember?” (l985), in which she, ironically, played a professor suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. When Paul Newman died in 2008 at age 83, he left everything to her. All monies from “Newman’s Own” salad dressings and such go to charity. Now Newman’s own five daughters,
three with Joanne and two from his prior marriage to Jackie Witte, are fighting over Woodward’s estate, despite having been given millions of dollars by Newman before his death. Newman’s only son, Scott, became addicted to prescription drugs after a motorcycle accident and died from an overdose of Valium and alcohol in 1978. Paul created The Scott Newman Center to educate children about the dangers of alcohol and drugs in 1980. It’s scheduled to be shut down Dec. 31. Friends say Woodward would not have let that happen if she wasn’t ill. Her last on-screen appearance was in the mini-series “Empire Falls” in 2005. Her voice is heard in the just-released “Lucky Them,” with Toni Collette and Thomas Haden Church, and as the narrator of the animated film “All the World.” ***
THE ONE AND ONLY CHANCE
Assume you get to five clubs on the bidding shown and West leads a heart. East wins with the ace, felling your king, and returns a heart. What is your best chance for the contract? The outlook certainly is not promising. In addition
“The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion: A Novel” by Fannie Flagg (Random House, $27) By Ealish Waddell With her daughters happily married and a newly empty nest, Sookie is looking forward to having some quiet time to herself -- until her world is rocked by the revelation that she was adopted.

It’s official: The original “Star Wars” will be re-released Dec. 18, 2015, in 3D. Meanwhile, Ewan McGregor, Obi-Wan Kenobi in the three “Star Wars” prequels, has the Australian crime thriller “Son of a Gun”; “August: Osage County,” with Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts (out Christmas Day); and the action-drama “Just a Gun,” with Natalie Portman, in the can. He currently is shooting “Mortdecai,” with Johnny Depp and Gwyneth Paltrow. Ewan will then jump into rehearsals for his Broadway debut in the revival of Tom Stoppard’s “The Real Thing,” opening in October. Not surprising, the 42-year-old Scottish actor, who also starred in screen fantasies such as “Big Fish” and “Moulin Rouge,” is still looking for “The Real Thing”! (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
to the heart already lost, it seems likely that you’ll have to lose a spade and a diamond. True, you also might lose a trump trick, but you should discount that possibility because East is almost sure to have the king of clubs for his opening bid. Despite this dim outlook, though, you should try to visualize a lie of the opposing cards that might give you a chance for the contract. It can’t be right to just give up without a fight. This brings you to the conclusion that while there is practically no chance of West holding the ace of diamonds, there is a chance of his holding the J-10 of that suit. Accordingly, you discard a
ing and overbearing mother, a woman obsessed with heritage and status. Finding out that they’re not actually related throws Sookie for an emotional loop, as well as into confusion about her rightful place in their traditional Southern society. Unable to resist her curiosity, she begins to delve cautiously into her own past, and is introduced to a family of dreamers and daredevils with whom she has far more in common than she could ever have guessed. Learning about their lives gives her a new lens through which to see herself and evaluate her impact on the world, and may even give her the courage to finally step out of her mother’s shadow and into the sun.
spade on the heart queen at trick two and lead the jack of clubs from dummy. When the jack wins, you continue with a trump to the ace and then lead a diamond toward the K-Q-9. After West follows low, you insert the nine, hoping it will force East’s ace. Luckily, this long shot comes through, and you later discard a spade on one of dummy’s diamonds to make your game. Note that even if dummy’s nine loses to the ten or jack, you still go down only one. A second diamond lead later will force out the ace, allowing you to avoid a spade loser.
(c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
This humorous, easygoing novel is a smooth read, constructed as a series of connected vignettes that roll gently back and forth through the decades between Sookie’s quest and her birth family’s saga. Some of the most fascinating tales concern the little-known history of the WASPs, or Women Air Force Service Pilots, who provided homefront support to the Army Air Force during World War II. These admirable women performed their dangerous jobs in the face of rampant sexism for little recognition, knocking down barriers for all who came after. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

It’s All About Sharing
A
t this time of the year, it makes us happy to share special feelings. Those of us deeply involved in the fascinating, spectacular, and ever-evolving sport/past time/ obsession of FLY FISHING eventually reach a point where the he actual moment of catching a fish h is no longer the emphasis. Sure some of us have felt the strain off catchin’ an eye-popping, can’tbelieve-the-size trout. Howwever, my real enjoyment for or decades has been sharing, helping, teaching, and parrticipating in the sport with h people of all ages and abilities. I have daily opportunities to share my knowledge, background, and adventures and to express my joy and excitement in what started out as a childhood past time. Whether it’s with great friends or unexpected encounters, in the shop or in my schools, I simply love drawing others into what the great outdoors has done for me. • It is therapeutic. • It has always lifted my spirits. • It will always be what grounds me. But believe me, it’s NOT all about the fish. It’s about the entire experience: the planning, the preparation, the anticipation, and who you are with. It’s about the sights and sounds, the

critters, the location: all the “once-ina-lifetimes” of a particular adventure. From the tiny streams hidden far away to the well-known broad and boated rivers. From the hot summer days high in the mountains seeking cutthroats and brook trout, or gorgeous autumn ccolors not to be outdone by spawning brown trout, or those sunny snow blanketed days with an airborne blanket rainbow trout on a streamer. (Remember to put ‘em all (Re back to further enhance bac populations and conservapop tion!) Allow this to be a time of pleasure and happiness that may NEVER come around again. We live in such a spectacular place with endless outdoor opportunities. GET UP AND GET OUT THERE! Our focus at CrossCurrents Fly Shop is to bring everyone into this sport, this experience; to introduce you to a challenge that will be enjoyed for a lifetime. Share it with a youngster. Share it with a loved one. Share it with a friend. If you need a little help, or if you want to learn more about our fly tying or fly fishing schools, please stop by or call. WE WOULD LOVE TO SHARE.

Store bells ring, are you listening? B ad paraphrasing aside, you can’t help but notice them; it’s just that time of year. There are sleigh bells over the doors of businesses and being shaken in school pageants all over Helena and, of course, the well-known bells and red kettles of the Salvation Army, that truly herald that start to the “Season of Giving.” hile we are all aware of the Salvation Army but I, for one, had little idea of what it is that they actually DO. Salvation Army’s Lt. Rob Lawler was more than happy to help clear things up, for me. “Whether it’s keep the lights on, or rent assistance, food programs, energy, we do all kinds of social services. Anything you can think of, in most cases, we’ll try to help out with it. I’ve even helped level trailer homes before, but the general thing we do is utilities, rent assistance, food boxes, bus tickets… those kinds of things are the things we do on a regular basis. All the money stays right here, right here in Helena” says Lawler. ut I don’t want to get you thinking that the Salvation Army is only providing short-term fixes, that they are just throwing a Band-Aid on larger problems. “One of our big things that we do here, at our Helena location, is we have a training program, where we do classes. Like we have where Wells-Fargo comes in and teaches a budgeting and money-management class. We have a job skills class, through job service. We’re just getting the resources here and getting our clients linked up with the different agencies that can help them,” Lawler insists. “One of the things that we do different, that sets us apart from probably a lot of the other social service, general assistance agencies, here in town, is that we work with a lot of case management; we will work with customers four, five, even more times, per occurrence, [any difficult situation that may come up] to try to help them work through a situation. Instead of just saying ‘here’s a check, off you go,’ we will meet with them and see what their budget looks like and try to see where they can help in the process. So we may help them a little bit, and then have them come back and see, ‘Oh! You’ve done some things to limit your budget.’ Maybe it’s something as simple as cutting back on your cable bill, but long as they are willing to work to help themselves we’ll help them out with that along the way. We try to partner with them, to help them make something better of their life. Our goal is to help work with them now, to change the status quo, instead of just every year ‘oh, you’re in again…’ and never really building that relationship with people.” ne major program the Salvation Army offers is their “Transitional Housing Program.” In essence, they provide a place to live, while their clients address their
W
personal needs to get back on track. The scope of these housing assignments vary, dependent upon the client’s goals and continued progress towards achieving them. Ranging from attaining a GED, paying off debt or even the simple possibility of a client becoming homeless, Salvation Army provides for basic needs, temporarily, while they take the necessary steps to get their own lives back on track. “Right now we’re working on our men’s transitional housing, getting that all opened up. That’ll be a brand new housing - just built – and that’ll be available for single men who are looking to turn their lives

around. Of course, there are some people who come in and there’s just no magic want, and so we may look at transitional housing, as a restart program. We call that more of a ‘Life rehab.’” rograms also exist to help start those life-skills habits at an earlier age. Rob states, “We have kids programs, like today, we have a kids club, which is also mixed in with the scouting program, which is open to kids of all ages and economic situations. We do get a lot of kids, who are probably from low-income living situations, and they come and they’ve been here two or three years in most cases, coming to our program. It’s a great opportunity for them to socialize and get into a sporting program. The Salvation Army also has their own scouting program, not Boy Scouts, but a program designed by the Salvation Army. One nice thing about that is that it’s a little more cost effective for us to run. Some of the scouting stuff can get pretty expensive.” f course, with the holidays coming up, the Salvation Army starts preparing for some of their major events. “From November 4th to December 13th, we’ll be taking Christmas applications, both for the toy program and the Food After boxes. The Food After boxes are for a lot of hourly employees who get their hours reduced, between Christmas and New Year,” Lawler explains, “especially if you have a small organization, such a construction company, which may take the

full week off. Our idea is to give general food - hamburger helper, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, meat – stuff like that, to help get a family through that week and help set off those grocery costs, against what might be lost income. Just to help people out. After that, we’ll do our Kettle Program. “ nd that brings us back to those famous bells. The Kettle Program is the largest fundraiser that the Salvation Army runs. Your pocket change, as you leave many a Helena merchant, funds a full third of the Salvation Army’s annual operating costs. “We are looking to, hopefully, get more of our counter-kettles, [kettles to put on the counters of ] small businesses where it’s just not as effective to have someone standing there, because it just doesn’t have the flow of traffic,” explains Lawler. “We’ll do that all the way up to the 24th of December. One of the things that we are doing is, while we encourage volunteers, we are providing jobs for people that might not normally work. Sometimes we can use that as an opportunity to build a relationship and help someone get out of their circumstances. We generally give someone an opportunity to work, where, if they don’t have any work history, they don’t really have any way to get going again. We generally work with a third-party agency to hire them and work with them and it works really well for us. Most people can’t believe that we have to pay someone to do that, but that’s the reality of the world. We try to make it something that’s useful. I can either give them rent assistance, or they can do a day’s labor, or two-day’s labor, to get the same thing. I’d much rather pay someone to do a day’s work that they can feel good about.” eeping in the spirit of the holidays, Salvation Army will be dusting off the ol’ hospitality and inviting everyone over, for dinner. “We have a big gym, at this location, so we convert the gym into a dining room. We have a big meal, on Thanksgiving Day. We’ll be prepared to serve two- to three-hundred people, easy. That’s from 11am – 2pm on Thanksgiving Day. It’s

open to families and we’ve seen a lot of increase in seniors, who just don’t really want to cook and would rather just come out and enjoy a nice meal. We provide a great atmosphere. We decorate the tables, we have people who wait on them, after they’ve gone through the initial line for food; it’s pretty nice,” Rob explains. ut if you can’t make it down, they’re more than happy to offer an alternative says Lawler, “We will also be working to deliver meals, those who call and those who volunteer to deliver will provide the food. As programs like Meals-On-Wheels take the day off, we will be available to step in and take over. People have to call us, Meals-On-Wheels won’t share their list of people, but they will let them know that this is an opportunity available and we’ve advertised through the Seniors’ Center.” lright… That’s enough talk about work! Never let it be said that the Salvation Army doesn’t know how to relax and have a bit of fun. “We’ll have distribution on the 21st of December. That’s pretty crazy. That’ll be here at the gym as well, from about 8:00 am until we’re done, about 3ish. Last year we had over 400 families, in one day,” reminisces Lawler. “It’s a shopping-type experience. It’s not where you come and get a pre-made bag of toys; each parent or guardian or whoever signed up the kids, will get a chance to ‘shop,’ with a shopping cart and everything, through our little Christmas center. It’s a pretty wild system. They’ll pick up their food box, at the same time. The average kid probably gets 7-9 toys. Some of those are pretty small toys, generally with a couple of decent $30-$35 toys. That is pretty popular around here.” Rob goes on to explain how the festivities continue, “Then that evening we are doing our 3rd Annual Christmas party. It is for people who are looking for a holiday meal, but what we are doing is trying to get people who normally wouldn’t have a chance to go to a party a chance to go to a party. We have live music, Santa Clause, finger foods – little smokies, quesadillas, chicken strips and you know, probably nothing that is overly healthy, but it’s all fun, party-type food. We’ll do a “Crazy Auction” where we will auction off crazy-type items. After we’ve gotten our presents and eaten well and had a good time, we try to take a little bit of money from our ‘Crazy Auction’ and send that money overseas, to somewhere the Salvation Army couldn’t normally do anything. It can be more than Christmas presents; a building project or something.” So, if you’d like to be part of the festivities, find Lt. Lawler and the rest of the Salvation Army staff at 1905 Henderson or call 442-8244.

Answers from pg 3
Q: I have what I think is a Queen Anne desk. Even though it does seem similar to this style of furniture, I can’t find a date on it. Where would it be imprinted? -- Patrick, West Warwick, Ill. A: It probably would not have a date actually on the piece. This was seldom done by cabinetmakers. The Queen Anne style of furniture was developed during the reign of Anne, Queen of Great Britain (17021714). Cabriole legs and curving lines often are found in furniture from this period. Most of the pieces I’ve seen were made during the early years of the last century. To determine if your piece is antique and genuine, you need to consult with an expert. Don’t rely on a neighbor, unless the neighbor is a certified appraiser. *** Q: I have a glass bowl that is signed “Chippendale.” According to what I’ve been told, the bowl was a wedding gift in 1925. I can’t find the mark in any of the reference books I own. Can you help me? -- Susan,

Deland, Fla. A: One of the better references is “Miller’s Antiques Marks,” compiled by Judith Miller. This portable, pocket-size book helps identify and date such items as silver, bronzes, ceramics, glass, costume jewelry, dolls and even teddy bears. Each mark is labeled with the name of the factory or designer that used it, its location, dates of operation, plus additional information when available. Your mark, for example, was used by the Jefferson Glass Company of Follansbee, Wyo., from 1900 until 1933. This reference, distributed by Hachette Book Group, is $9.99 and available at amazon.com. *** Q: I have a copy of “You’ve Had It, Charlie Brown,” by Charles M. Schulz, published in 1969. Is it valuable? -Ada, Sioux Falls, S.D. A: I’ve checked with several used book dealers,
and they seem to agree that your book is probably worth about $15. *** Q: I have service for eight in Spode china, the fleur-de-lis pattern. What is the current value of this set? -- Barbara, Brighton, Mich. A: You probably can find this pattern referenced at Replacements, Ltd., inquire@replacements. com, and 800-737-5223. The company specializes in retired patterns of both crystal and china. *** Write to Larry Cox in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

EMPLOYMENT
Why A Staffing Agency? Brought To You By Every day companies like A2Z Staffing Solutions match millions of people with jobs. In an increasingly complex market heavily influenced by pressure to master technology skills even in basic, entry level positions, having an advocate working for you on the inside can be a great help. Not only is a job with a temporary staffing agency a great way to build your skills as an employee, it’s also an efficient opportunity to establish a network with top level executives across industries. For example, consider a nurse practitioner who has just graduated from school and needs to find a job in a particular geographic area. Rather than spending days filling out applications for different positions at multiple companies, this person can schedule one interview at A2Z Staffing Solutions and submit one resume - and let the staffing coordinator review the area job market on his or her behalf. This results in a win-win situation, because often companies don’t have the time or resources to review prospective employees in the way they would like, which is why they end up contacting organizations that can manage the process on their behalf.
Top 3 Reasons To Work With A2Z Staffing Professionals: 1. We know where the jobs are. Businesses and state agencies of all sizes turn to us for access to talent and peace of mind with temporary and contract positions that are open right now, right away. 2. We can help you get that permanent placement you’ve been looking for. With a strong network of relationships that connects professionals across industries, coordinators at A2Z Staffing Solutions collectively share a unique ability to sit down with you and discuss your long term goals - and build a path to success. A whopping 30% of the Montana residents who worked with a temporary staffing agency in 2012 found their short term job to be a bridge to the long term opportunity they were looking for. 3.
Flexibility. We have the ability to offer you a level of flexibility with short term and long term positions you can’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re a part-time or full-time resident of Montana, the opportunities for employment continue to shift with the seasons – and we’re always on top of the trends.

Montana Meets The World
I
have three words, for you: Thai Caramel Chicken. Yeah, that caught me off guard, too. I mean, caramel? In an entrée? But that’s what they do at The Fusion Grille - located in the Great Northern Town Center provide one of the truly unique dining experiences available in Helena; servingg ds customers imaginative foods that blend the ethnic styles of seemingly disparate dishes into successful, fun and, above all, tasty offerings. Fusion Grille strives not only to embody a fusion of different design styles but a synthesis of world flavors, as well. The idea that would eventually become The Fusion Grille was 2 years in the making, time to guarantee that Helena would only be offered the best experience. “We have worked hard to bring the Helena community a place where you can come and relax for a fine meal, watch your favorite sports team and most importantly, enjoy great company. “ The menu was created with the intent to take Montana’s best offerings and then introduce those to the world, bringing in the perfect amount of ethnic influence. Hand-cut Angus beef, made-from-scratch soups and a wide
selection of fine wines, micro brews and now a full liquor license - for your favorite mixed drinks - are just part of what makes The Fusion Grille an ideal dining destination. In addition, customers can enjoy the peace-ofmind that comes from knowing that they are dining in one of Helena’s T “Tri-County Green Businness Program” certified llocations. Everytthing they do is to give Helena the best experience, tonight or a decade, from now. As we get into the holiday season, Fusion is available to cater your events. For more intimate, smaller gatherings they are happy to accommodate your event, at their location. If you need something a bit larger, well, they’re more than happy to bring their food to a venue of your choice.
