STREET TALK

by Cathrine L. Walters

Asked Tuesday, July 22, at the corner of Higgins and Spruce.

Do you believe in aliens?

Follow-up: Of all the world’s unsolved mysteries, which would you like to see solved first?

Sam Niederman: Yes. There’s a hell of a lot up there and it would be surprising to me if there wasn’t anything there. What matters most: How about why there is more matter than antimatter?

Why do we exist?

Ben Uhlenbruch: Yes. I saw a UFO. I was backpacking in the Bitterroots near Lolo Peak and we were looking at the stars and a light started moving in ways no plane or helicopter could ever do. We thought it was at star distance but then it dropped super fast and started floating through the trees. Wormholes: Is time travel possible?

Zoe Contreras: No, but I believe there’s something out there. I think it’s really selfish of mankind to think there is nothing else out there. The Taman Shud Case: The mystery of the Somerton Man. A guy was found on a beach with a note in his pocket that had a quote in a foreign language. Who was he?

How did he die?

Kyle Kankelborg: There’s bacteria growing in hot pools in Yellowstone, so how could there not be life anywhere else? X-Files: Area 51. What’s really going on down there?

Ross Perkins: I sure do. This universe is way too small for us to be the only ones out here. Plus, it’d be a shame.

Searching high and low: Probably all that is unsolved has been solved and is sitting in a file box somewhere. It’d be nice to know what they have found out in the universe as well as in the deep sea. Is there life out there?

I just read your article on the worst politicians in the country and in Montana (see “America’s worst politicians,” July 3).

How could you possibly leave both Steve Daines and Denny Rehberg off this list?

They are the two worst people ever to serve in Congress from any state or anywhere in the country.

I can’t understand how Denny Rehberg was elected so many times to Congress. He is an absolute fool.

I hope the voters of Montana wake up and see by the fall election how totally they have been taken in by Steve Daines.

He is a very dangerous man who cares about nothing except money.

Please be very leery about Steve Daines and don’t trust him at all. If you do, you will make a big mistake.

elect candidates who are willing to stand up and fight for our values.

These attacks are far out of step with the beliefs held by most Americans—studies have repeatedly found that support for birth control and expanded access to contraception are mainstream values.

At some point in their lives, 99 percent of sexually active women will use some form of birth control. Of those who use the pill, nearly 60 percent use it for medical reasons other than contraception.

Use of the pill can reduce the likelihood of ovarian cancer by as much as 50 percent,

“They are the two worst people ever to serve in Congress from any

Don’t return to ’50s Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a stinging decision that established America’s women as second-class citizens. In the case of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, the Supreme Court found that bosses can refuse to provide legally mandated insurance coverage for birth control solely based on their religious views.

The idea that birth control is controversial, immoral or anything other than basic preventive care reflects the choice we have in the 2014 elections: Do we want to elect candidates who will fight for women’s access to basic health care? Or do we want to elect candidates who will support policies that would take us back to the 1950s?

The Supreme Court’s majority opinion was signed by five men who have never had to worry about paying for birth control, an unplanned pregnancy or how family planning will impact their next paycheck.

In the entire majority opinion’s 49 pages of text, the word “women” was used only 13 times—underscoring how little regard these justices and the elected officials who agree with them have for basic women’s health care.

It’s no accident, then, that the three women on the Supreme Court dissented against this ruling in the strongest possible terms, calling it “a minefield” and a decision of “startling breadth.” They wrote at length of the economic hardship created when women are forced to pay for contraception out of pocket, and the uncertainty created—both in the workplace and the home—when access to this care is called into question.

The Hobby Lobby decision underscores what we’ve already known for so long: Women’s rights are under attack, and it’s increasingly important that we

Daines has made continual efforts to take away a women’s right to make her own private health care decisions, outlaw common forms of birth control, put an end to prevention efforts and allow the IRS to audit victims of rape.

With the help of dedicated supporters and volunteers across the state, we’ll be knocking on doors, making phone calls and doing everything necessary to ensure that we elect candidates who will reject this extreme anti-woman agenda and stand up for mainstream values.

In the 2012 elections, we achieved great things when women stood together and stood up for access to basic preventive care like contraception.

Now, in 2014, we have another opportunity, as well as an obligation, to send the clear message that women are watching... and we will be voting.

state or anywhere in the country.” and it’s effective in treating conditions like endometriosis, premenstrual pain and migraines. Across all demographics and ethnicities—including Catholics, millennials and baby boomers—support for birth control is strong.

All of which means that the candidates and elected officials who want to roll back access to this important preventive care aren’t just outside the mainstream, they’re simply too extreme.

Across the country, politicians running for office want to go even further than the Supreme Court did this week— working to repeal the entire preventive benefit which also guarantees women can no longer be charged more for health insurance or denied coverage for so-called “pre-existing” conditions like domestic abuse or pregnancy. Many of these candidates also support extreme and dangerous so-called “personhood” measures, which if enacted, could interfere with personal, private decisions about birth control and fertility treatment. These battles are being fought in states across the country, from Texas to Colorado to North Carolina to here in Montana.

Our message to these candidates is clear: We’ve had enough. We’ll be doing everything we can in Montana to educate voters about the candidates who support access to women’s basic preventive care, like Sen. John Walsh. We will also be warning them about candidates like Rep. Steve Daines, who would roll back the clock on access. Daines sided with corporate special interests as he supported the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision.

Sincere invitation Montana adopted a new Constitution in 1972, replacing one stating the highest use of the land was to mine it. Fast-forward decades to HR 1526, introduced by Republican Congressman Steve Daines, which says the highest use of federal lands is to log them. Both concepts are wrong.

Neither logging nor mining nor any other single use should be elevated above the multiple uses Montanans expect from our public lands.

According to Daines’ bill, the Forest Service is required to produce at least half of the sustainable yield of timber each year, putting timber cutting before other uses. This top-down management fiat does not call for a single public meeting.

Contrast it with the bottom-up approach of the spectacularly broad Coalition to Protect the Rocky Mountain Front.

The Front is the narrow band of public lands linking the high Rockies to the west to critical public and private winter range to the east.

Building on a base of many years, the coalition accelerated its efforts in 2007, held countless meetings and negotiating sessions with agencies, organizations and individuals and succeeded in introduction in 2011 by then-Sen. Max Baucus of Senate bill 364. The final bipartisan product protects the interests of more than 50 groups ranging from birders to bow hunters, from ranchers to backcountry horsemen, from fly fishermen to bicycle clubs—and many more.

Supporters of Baucus’ bill sincerely invite Rep. Daines to help enact this popular “made-in-Montana” effort. Montanans of today and tomorrow will thank him.

Monday, July 21 Law enforcement in Seattle arrest Troy Miller and Katherine Grace Evans, who were wanted in Missoula County for attempted deliberate homicide and robbery in the shooting of a man who was found on the side of I-90 near Turah on Wednesday.

Since March 2007, the space inside 147 West Broadway in downtown Missoula has been home to a Mexican restaurant, a catering company, a café and bakery, a bar and grill, and a chain barbecue restaurant. But Scott McIntyre, who co-owns the space and an interconnected web of businesses known as the Badlander complex, thinks that cycle of turnover might finally be coming to end. Last month, experienced restaurateurs Angel and Tim Chen signed a lease on the space. The Chens plan to open a high-end eatery called Face Club this fall.

“They bring not only experience but they’re also managed well,” McIntyre says. “I think that separates them from any of the tenants before them.”

The Chens own two existing restaurants, Sweet Chili Asian Bistro in Bozeman and Lemongrass Asian Bistro in North Little Rock, Ark. For their latest project, the Chens have big plans. They expect to offer not only Thai, Chinese and Japanese fare, as they do at their other locations, but also to include American, French and maybe even Brazilian food. The exact menu will depend on the expertise of the chefs they

hire to work alongside Tim, who specializes in Asian cuisine. The goal is to have something for everyone.

“You can try different countries of food,” Angel Chen says. “Not every day is burger. Not every day is pizza.”

The Chens estimate meals will cost between $10 and $30, as they do at their other locations. They are also extensively remodeling the space to create a more refined atmosphere than is available elsewhere in the Badlander complex, such as next door at the Golden Rose or downstairs in the Palace Lounge. For now, however, the room is a bare construction site.

Though it remains to be seen exactly how the space and the menu will turn out, Angel Chen says Face Club will offer what other places around town don’t. When asked for an example, she says alligator will be on the menu.

“You come here,” she says, “you have a surprise.”

Westside residents as similar to natural gas or propane, locals say the odor persists.

“When I wake up in the morning, (I’m) physically uncomfortable and disturbed by the smell,” says Alexander Metcalf, a University of Montana professor who lives on Howell Street. “Without knowing what the chemical is, I don’t know whether my health is at risk.”

In May, locals began reporting the odor to NorthWestern Energy, emergency responders and the Missoula City-County Health Department. NorthWestern says it received about 20 complaints, but it hasn’t found any problems with its local supply lines.

After several visits to the affected area—primarily Howell and Philips streets—local officials identified the Emerald Services recycling facility at 900 Philips as a potential source. Emerald Chief Operating Officer Dean Kattler says the company responded on July 3 by installing a carbon filtration system to curb storage tank emissions. “If we find that it’s something that we’re doing,” Kattler says, “we certainly want to fix it.”

Metcalf and other residents report the odor is less powerful since Emerald installed the filters, but the smell still lingers.

[news] Renee Valley, who lives across the railroad tracks from Metcalf on Philips, started keeping a log to document the problem. Between July 4 and July 14, she reports smelling the odor nine times. “It wasn’t that nausea provoking as it was the first couple of times,” Valley says.

In an effort to definitively identify the source, Missoula City Councilman Bryan von Lossberg initiated a formal discussion in the city’s Public Safety and Health Committee, inviting representatives from NorthWestern Energy, Montana Rail Link and Emerald Services to discuss actions they’ve taken to pinpoint the odor and their plans going forward. Von Lossberg is also asking the health department to itemize what tools they have on hand to regulate an environmental nuisance.

Howell Street resident Debby Florence is also asking residents to report when they encounter the smell in an online form that she intends to submit to the city, NorthWestern Energy and the Montana Department of Environmental Quality. “If people want to log when it’s happening,” Florence says, “that can be helpful.”

KPAX, KECI and KTMF—will relocate to new channels.

Meanwhile, translators like Blacktail’s and low-power television stations that serve small communities will be left to fend for themselves. Like Fite, Charlie Cannaliato is concerned about how they’ll fare.

Cannaliato, who spent 33 years as the head engineer at KECI, is on the board of the National Translators Association and maintains some 60 translators across the state. According to a study he conducted, at least 24 of Montana’s 424 translators and lowpower stations will go off the air if the FCC sells off the channels above 38. The Flathead Valley, where the airwaves are crowded, will be especially affected.

Television

Auctioning off the airwaves When Steven Fite first joined the board of the Blacktail TV Tax District as a volunteer in 1998, television reception in the Flathead Valley was terrible.

“That was all we were used to—snowy pictures,” Fite says.

After joining Blacktail, Fite began rebuilding all five of the tax district’s television translators, which relay signals from broadcast stations in Missoula, Spokane and Kalispell to homes throughout the Flathead. And he has continued to help maintain and improve Blacktail’s service, working to preserve free and quality television access for those—such as himself—who can’t afford satellite or cable. Now, however, he’s afraid that access is in jeopardy.

The threat is an upcoming congressionally mandated Federal Communications Commission auction that will allow wireless communications companies to buy what are currently television channels. During the auction, which will occur next year, the FCC will purchase some existing channels from television stations, reconfigure the airwaves to squeeze television broadcasters within a narrower range of the spectrum and sell off the newly open territory to wireless carriers. The result will be more air space for smartphones and less for television, which will likely end at channel 31 or 38 instead of at 51, as it does now.

With funding from the FCC, many full-power broadcasters—a category that includes stations like

“We recognize the importance of over-the-air television, particularly in rural areas,” says FCC Media Bureau Chief William Lake. “We also recognize the very rapid growth of wireless technology. And we think of this auction as a way of letting the marketplace determine the priorities.”

Fite and Cannaliato aren’t optimistic. Already, they say, television has been squeezed; stations once stretched all the way to channel 83.

“They’re just taking it away,” Fite says of the free television Blacktail’s translators provide. “Slowly but surely.”

A monument to restoration Emmit Taylor Jr., director of the Nez Perce Tribe’s watershed division, gazes out at Packer Meadows on a recent Friday morning, sharing stories about how his people have harvested camas root, huckleberries and moss here for centuries.

than fish.” It’s crucial to take a more holistic approach to managing the ecosystem, he explains.

“And I hope that in three, four, seven generations, this area will still be used,” he adds.

Everyone standing on this dirt road near Lolo Pass has played some part over the past 18 years in a partnership that has replaced or removed 150 aquatic barriers and decommissioned more than 1,000 miles of roads on national forests throughout the 13-million-acre Nez Perce Treaty territory. The work started in 1996, after a rash of seasonal floods underscored the potential damage washed-out logging roads and plugged culverts could have on waterways. What began as a modest collaboration between the Nez Perce and the Clearwater National Forest has since blossomed into an ongoing series of projects that have so far cost some $40 million—the bulk of that funding donated by the Bonneville Power Administration.

A short drive down the road, Anne Connor, a hydrologist on the Nez Perce National Forest, outlines the extensive work done last year to solve fish passage issues at the Pack II Bridge. Watershed specialists and hired contractors worked to replace an aging culvert with a bridge. The result is a meticulously reconstructed stream channel, its banks already thick with native vegetation. It’s just one example of the $6 million worth of work done in 2013 on more than 7.6 acres stretching from the Lochsa River to northeast Oregon.

“One of the highlights [of the partnership] is when I show my children,” Taylor says. “We’ll go out on these forests and gather roots and go fishing and things like that, and I tell them about a culvert replacement we did.”

While Taylor and Connor are proud of several completed projects, they’re most excited this day about an 8,000-pound chunk of stone recently delivered to the Lolo Pass Visitor Center. A plaque on the front of the stone details the work done by the partnership since 1996. A map carved into the rock’s face depicts the Lochsa watershed. Taylor shares a story as an anecdotal measure of success: While hiking along Badger Creek just down Highway 12 earlier this year, he saw steelhead in the waterway—the first he’s heard of there in 50 years.

“But let’s not pat ourselves on the back too much yet,” he says. “There’s lots of work out there left to do.”

ETC. Katie Gleason has spent almost her whole life in Condon, an unincorporated community of a few hundred in the heart of the Swan Valley, located about 10 miles north of Holland Lake. When she was growing up, Holland Lake was where she went to cool off in the summer. It was safe and easy to access. Now that she’s the mother of a 3-yearold and 6-year-old, Gleason takes her kids to the same beach and roped-off swimming area she experienced as a kid.

So when Gleason read in the Seeley Swan Pathfinder back in May that she would soon have to pay to access the beach, she was “instantly upset.” According to the paper, she would have to start coughing up a $5 day-use fee every time she wanted to access Holland Lake, starting July 1. Considering the fact Gleason takes her children there multiple times a week, she saw the dollar signs adding up. But for Gleason, the bigger issue has nothing to do with money.

“I feel like the principle of it is wrong,” she says. “That’s our land as citizens of the United States. It’s open, public land, and we pay for it everyday with our tax dollars. And for them to then ask for more money on top of that to go and have access to our public lands is just wrong.”

Gleason’s outrage quickly spread through the Swan Valley community. At meetings in June and earlier this month, Gleason and others gave officials from the Flathead National Forest and Barta Enterprises, the concessionaire that maintains the Holland Lake campground and beach, an earful. They pleaded, at a minimum, for more time to find an alternate solution.

The strategy seems to have worked—at least temporarily. Barta, which defends the fee as the only way to maintain services at the popular recreation area, has delayed its payto-play plan. On Aug. 1, Gleason says she’s planning to meet with the company to discuss ideas like community volunteers handling chores such as trash pickup in exchange for free access to the beach. Her goal is to keep public lands, well, public and free.

And if the meeting on Aug. 1 doesn’t work? Gleason says she won’t return to the place she essentially grew up.

“I won’t pay for something that already belongs to the people,” she says.

Here’s hoping she won’t have to.

The house Roys built Brewer designs Lolo Peak facility from ground up

by Alex Sakariassen

Paul Roys likes to joke that he spent several nights in recent months sitting on the concrete floor of what would become Lolo Peak Brewing’s production space, drinking red wine and picturing what his new brewhouse might look like. In reality, he says he did much of that work from home, sketching out blueprints in pencil and erasing them so often that the paper would “literally wear through.” Lolo Peak opened for business just three weeks ago, but Roys estimates it took him 2,000 hours of work to finally pour that first pint of beer.

even involved taking a look at the existing layout and voicing suggestions to increase efficiency. Every inch of the production facility was custom made by Washingtonbased Marks Design and Metalworks. Roys says he must have shot designs back and forth with the manufacturer “a dozen times” in an attempt to get every door frame, every pipe and every manifold exactly right. Once the concrete was poured, Roys went so far as to draw chalk outlines of the equipment just to make sure there was still enough room for pallets to pass from the loading dock to the basement.

ing the brewhouse wasn’t without its challenges. Roys quips that if you were to draw a typical production facility, “it is never a triangular floor footprint with an off-center vaulted ceiling.” And with high windows looking out on the mountains, Roys has to “chain myself to the brewhouse” at times. But the first full days of brewing went smoothly, with Roys translating eight different recipes from paper straight to 500-gallon batches.

“I don’t think I even have words for it,” Offen says of his first pint of Lolo Peak beer. “You know, I smelled the beer first and I knew that was going to be the one.

Lolo Peak Brewing opened just three weeks ago but head brewer Paul Roys spent the past nine months sketching, tweaking and modifying the custom brewhouse from scratch.

“You want the real picture, picture me in my pajamas from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. drinking coffee and working,” Roys says, sipping a glass of No Salmon Pale Ale on the brewery’s second-story balcony on a recent Friday afternoon. “One or two computers running, blueprints laid out. It was kind of a mess.”

Roys is a familiar face in Missoula’s craft beer community. He worked on the Kettlehouse Brewing crew for nearly nine years, cranking out a constantly rotating lineup of flavor-infused seasonals and oneoffs and eventually becoming head brewer in the company’s Myrtle Street brewhouse.

He’s a certified hang gliding instructor as well, meaning odds are pretty good that observant locals have seen him soaring above town on bluebird days.

Signing on last fall as Lolo Peak’s head brewer put Roys in the rare position to take everything he’d learned through years in the industry and construct his dream brewhouse from scratch. Part of his interview

“I’ve cut or drilled holes in every brand new piece of equipment back there,” Roys says. “You try to lock it down as best you can with the suppliers, but you still have to fab it. You’re always making changes on the fly.

So even once you think the plan is dialed, it’s all come together from the manufacturer, you’re going to have to adjust the heights, the angles, the layout down the road.”

The result is an office where every nut, screw and bolt was put there by Lolo Peak’s sole brewer. Co-owners Al Zepeda and Patrick Offen invested heavily up front to make the brewhouse a one-person operation—a reflection of the approach the two took to the building as a whole, from the handcrafted timber frame to the spacious beer garden and boneand rock-encrusted bar top.

Roys says Lolo Peak will likely remain a one-brewer business for the foreseeable future. Seven of the eight beers now on tap run off serving tanks rather than kegs, cutting down significantly on labor. Of course, build-

It was the LouLou Amber. It wasn’t even carbonated yet, just straight out of the fermenter. I knew we were going to brew successful beers after that day.”

As production continues, Roys plans to have as many as four rotating seasonals and one-offs in addition to Lolo Peak’s six flagship brews. He’s already aging his Old Toby Porter in several bourbon barrels.

That rotating beer lineup will provide a variety of food pairing opportunities when the kitchen starts up in a few months, and Lolo Peak is planning to have social media rep Radd Icenoggle become a certified beer and food pairing expert through the Cicerone Certification Program. The brewery is even working on a food fermentation space in the basement to prepare its own pickles, corned beef and sauerkraut.

“We like to say we have more ideas than time around here,” Roys says, “and it’s true.” asakariassen@missoulanews.com

Who’s watching whom?

Drone surveillance along our northern border raises questions

by Jimmy Tobias

When I think of Canada, I picture caribou herds, universal health care and the occasional hockey brawl. Officials at our Department of Homeland Security, however, seem to think the neighbors up north pose a serious security threat. After all, the department has spent the last five years quietly building a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles—also known as drones—to keep constant watch on the United States’ northern border.

New details of drones in the north emerged only recently, thanks to the California-based Electronic Frontier Foundation. Last summer, the organization obtained a cache of documents about drone flights in America in response to its public-interest lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security. These documents reveal that the department, through its Customs and Border Protection Division, has deployed at least two Predator B drones to an operating base in Grand Forks, N.D. The drones make frequent surveillance flights along the U.S. border with Canada, using advanced radar and video systems to survey the expansive landscape.

The documents also outline the agency’s efforts to grow its fleet. The Customs and Border Division, according to a 2010 report, plans to station seven drones along the northern border by the end of 2016. Moreover, by 2025, the agency wants a permanent fleet of 10 drones to monitor the border “seven days/week 24 hours/day” from bases in North Dakota, Montana, Washington and elsewhere. The goal, in other words, is non-stop surveillance.

Predator B drones are the same machines our government has used in its bombing campaigns in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Operated by desk-bound pilots protected in a bunker somewhere, the drones can fly for 27 hours without refueling and reach an altitude of 50,000 feet. With a wingspan of 66 feet, they can carry nearly 4,000 pounds of equipment, from infrared technology to missile systems. Though drones operated by Customs and Border Protection are not yet

armed, the “Concept of Operations” report indicates that the agency has considered fitting them with “non-lethal weapons designed to immobilize” enemies.

This growing drone fleet is not used exclusively for border surveillance. Local, state and federal entities, from the Coast Guard to the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation, can borrow these machines from border officials to conduct domestic policing. According to flight logs

“Federal security officials have introduced these drones under a fog of secrecy and with little public oversight.” obtained in the lawsuit, the Customs and Border Division performed more than 700 surveillance flights in support of other law enforcement agencies between 2010 and 2012 alone. Where, how and why these drone flights occurred remains a mystery; the flight logs are heavily censored.

Along our southern border, Predator B drones have been in use since 2004, when our Customs and Border Division first began its experiment with these machines. Today, the agency has stationed at least four drones in Arizona, and it regularly loans them to organizations such as the Arizona Department of Public Safety and numerous county sheriffs’ departments across the Southwest. The likelihood of civil liberties violations seems not to concern federal officials.

Drone surveillance in this country started in the West, probably because gov-

ernment security officials view its vast open spaces, remote mountains and dense forests as a weak link in America’s armored exterior. It takes invasive technologies to control such unruly terrain, and drones must seem like the perfect tools. These airborne security cameras are able to accomplish in rural America what the standard security camera achieves on the streets of Los Angeles or Chicago.

The problem is that federal security officials have introduced these drones under a fog of secrecy and with little public oversight. They have counted on our ignorance as drones became a tool for warrantless domestic surveillance along our borders. As they plan to expand their fleets, they count now on our apathy.

That doesn’t sit well with most Westerners I know.

The people I know respect privacy and individuality. They trust their neighbors and they cherish open land. They maintain a live-and-let-live ethic, or at least that’s what they strive for. The surveillance machines polluting our skies threaten these basic values. They further empower national security bureaucrats, while we are forced to foot the bill for this infringement of our own protected liberties.

That’s why states like Montana and Oregon have placed stringent limitations on drone surveillance within their jurisdictions.

They recognize a threat when they see one.

We should not have to live in a world where spying robots hover above us like hawks and buzzards. Those who value privacy—from civil libertarians, tribal nations and wilderness advocates, to ranchers and Ron Paul Republicans—have a major stake in stopping this surveillance from spreading before it becomes the norm.

ohn L. “Pete” Howard is Teton County’s former sheriff and current justice of the peace.

He has spent much of his adult life sifting through evidence, adding it up and deciding what it means. He’s good at what he does, at least according to the people of Teton County, who have voted him into office 10 times.

Howard, however, has been stumped for nearly 40 years about the meaning of a strange and disturbing series of events that swept through the county in the mid-1970s.

“It was frustrating,” Howard says, “because we thought, ‘Boy, we’re onto something big here. We’re going to get this figured out right away.’ It went on for a year and a half or more, and to this day I don’t have a clue.”

His confusion and frustration derive from a confounding paradox: The most likely explanation he can come up with for what happened is also the most difficult explanation to prove. As far as Howard can tell, though he can’t say for certain, extraterrestrials came to Teton County in spaceships, slaughtered cattle with surgical precision, took parts of the animals’ anatomy and then vanished almost without a trace.

Richard O’Connor, an anesthesiologist at St. Peter’s Hospital in Helena, is the founder of the nonprofit Crop Circles Research Foundation and of the Jesse A. Marcel Library, which houses a collection of materials related to UFO phenomena.

Montana has long been a hotbed of UFO sightings and purported extraterrestrial encounters. In 1932, Leo Dworshak, who spent his life in Montana and North Dakota, experienced one of the world’s first reported alien contacts. In 1950, a Great Falls man caught a supposed UFO on film for the first time in U.S. history. In 1967, a Malmstrom Air Force Base nuclear missile silo near the town of Roy was temporarily shut down after UFOs were spotted in the vicinity. In 1998, 1999 and 2000, crop circles were discovered near Whitefish and Kalispell.

Last year, Joan Bird, who has a doctorate in zoology from the University of Montana and lives in Helena, published Montana UFOs and Extraterrestrials, a detailed account of these and other significant sightings and encounters from around the Treasure State. For those who study UFOs and other related phenomena, the accounts Bird relates are among the world’s most important cases of alien civilizations visiting Earth.

The findings are not relegated to the past. Just in the past few months, clusters of red dots, teardropshaped objects, fireballs, chevrons, white flashes, triangular craft and green orbs have all been spotted in Montana and reported to the National UFO Reporting Center. Last November, for example, two “orb-like and rather large” craft were spotted flying above Rattlesnake Creek. This February, Missoulian Nick Lechner spotted six “large balls of light” moving and drifting above the

South Hills. On July 4, Tommy Evans, a friend, a cousin and an uncle all witnessed “an incredibly bright, deeporange [colored] object slowly moving” above Missoula.

While reports like these continue to come in and further fuel speculation of aliens among us, skeptics shake their heads and dismiss them out of hand. The accounts seem fuzzy, the evidence flimsy. And alternate, rational explanations often abound. But for a number of Montanans, including reputable members of the community like Judge Howard, the truth is out there-and they’re trying to track it down.

∞

Richard O’Connor, an anesthesiologist at Helena’s St. Peter’s Hospital, has never seen a UFO, but he’s convinced they exist and that at least some them of them are spacecraft piloted and crewed by extraterrestrials.

The evidence, he says, is overwhelming.

“People that say there’s no evidence, they just haven’t investigated it,” he says. “If they look, they’ll find.”

O’Connor began to look in earnest some 25 years ago, after seeing a TV show about the Roswell UFO incident and hearing a familiar name.

In popular culture, Roswell is practically shorthand for the crazy conspiracy-theorizing of those who believe

extraterrestrials have visited earth. Despite the mockery, the truth about what happened in the New Mexico desert in 1947 has been the subject of genuine uncertainty and suspicion. It’s a fact, for example, that soon after a strange object crashed on a ranch outside the town of Roswell in 1947, U.S. Air Force officials declared that the wrecked object was a “flying disk.” Though the Air Force quickly retracted that characterization and produced wreckage of a weather balloon to provide a new explanation, the official story has continued to change and accusations of a cover-up have been persistent.

Those accusations were given great weight in 1978, when a former Air Force intelligence officer, Maj. Jesse Marcel, came forward to report that the UFO was an extraterrestrial-piloted spacecraft. He said he had been the initial investigator of the alien wreckage and that the military had conspired to deceive the public about what happened. Marcel’s allegations sparked more controversy about what really occured in Roswell. It was Marcel’s name that sounded familiar to O’Connor that night, while watching TV. O’Connor had a colleague at the hospital with almost the same name. Jesse Marcel Jr., who died last year, worked as an ear, nose and throat surgeon at St. Peter’s.

O’Connor sometimes anesthetized his patients.

“And I was like ‘Jesse Marcel? Could that be?’”

O’Connor says.

A wave of cattle mutilations took place in and around Teton County during the mid-1970s. Many of the animals had sections of their facial masks removed.

Joan Bird, who has a doctorate in zoology and wrote Montana UFOs and Extraterrestrials, owns an extensive archive of UFO-related materials.

[16] Missoula Independent • July 24–July 31, 2014

Marcel’s father was, indeed, Maj. Marcel. The doctor was 11 years old in 1947, and he had vivid memories of seeing wreckage his father brought home from the crash site.

The material he saw, Marcel told O’Connor, was clearly not of this planet. There was a strange kind of foil that, his father later told him, could not be permanently dented, not even with a sledgehammer.

There were metallic-looking beams with indecipherable purple geometric symbols inscribed in the surface.

And there were no wires, tubes or any evidence of electronics. This was material from a flying saucer, Marcel’s father told him, and he wasn’t to tell anyone what he’d seen.

O’Connor found Marcel’s story intriguing. He’d long thought “how really ridiculous it would be if we were the only sentient species in the universe,” and Marcel’s account confirmed O’Connor’s long-held suspicion that travelers from alien civilizations could and would visit planet Earth.

“I just know that his story’s true,” O’Connor says. “There’s no possible way that he would have lied to me, to his family and to the entire world, really, about that event that happened there if he didn’t believe himself that it was what he said it was. I’m just 100 percent confident of that, so it sort of distills in me the surety that I need to do something like this.”

“This” is the Jesse A. Marcel Library, a collection of books and DVDs housed in a converted garage on a dirt driveway just south of Helena and just below O’Connor’s home. The space is spare, with a concrete floor, a gas fireplace flickering in the corner and a model UFO made from two drum cymbals

hanging from the ceiling. The model was made and donated to the museum by a man who said he saw the real thing hovering over Whitefish Lake.

“I keep my camper in here, which is back there behind the curtain,” O’Connor says, gesturing to some hanging tarps that divide the library from the rest of the garage.

“I guess that was the primary reason that I built the building to begin with.”

O’Connor is a kind and gentle man, with graying hair pulled back in a ponytail. He wears a yellow Jesse A. Marcel Library, or JAML, Tshirt and round glasses, and he speaks with a soft Southern drawl.

He built the garage in 2011 and opened the library a year later.

“I had collected quite a number of books on my own of stuff that interested me about the subject,” he says. “And then I just started thinking, ‘Well, what would help to legitimize this subject with the public?

And what would help to educate the public?’ And obviously the answer was to open a library, so people would have access to my materials.”

His bookshelves are lined with everything from Richard Dolan’s two volume UFOs and the National Security State to Michel Mesmarquet’s Abduction to the Ninth Planet: A True Report by the Author Who Was Physically Abducted to Another Planet to Paul Hill’s Unconventional Flying Objects: A Scientific Analysis. He also has a shelf of DVDs containing testimony, reenactments, clips and documentaries on subjects ranging from the possible extraterrestrial origins of Sumerian civilization to a spate of alien visitations in Deer Lodge.

O’Connor goes to his collection

with great enthusiasm, eager to share the insight it contains about humans’ experiences with UFOs and extraterrestrials, about government and corporate conspiracies to conceal and discredit these experiences, and about the nature, technology, philosophy and intention of the various alien civilizations that have visited our planet. The range of the authors’ and speakers’ insight and evidence is compelling, O’Connor says, as are their credentials.

The witnesses to the UFO phenomenon and its cover-up include NASA scientists, astronauts, military officials, doctors, physicists, FBI agents, CIA agents and one former governor, Fife Symington of Arizona.

They include John E. Mack, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard psychiatrist who began to study abductees in order to determine the psychological origins of their delusion; he came to believe they had actually been physically taken by extraterrestrials. There’s also Paul Hellyer, a former Canadian minister of defence who claims extraterrestrials live on earth, and Roger Lier, a podiatric surgeon who removed nanotechnolog y allegedly inserted into the bodies of numerous alien abductees by their captors. There’s also Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who was the sixth man to walk on the moon and who believes the U.S. government is complicit in a conspiracy to hide evidence of the extraterrestrial presence on our planet.

“Why am I not going to believe these people?” O’Connor asks.

“Why? Why would I not? It just doesn’t make any sense to me that these credible people would come out and make these statements if they weren’t certain that they were true.”

O’Connor believes that making contact with extraterrestrial civilizations is imperative for the future viability of human life on Earth.

∞

The JAML is more than just O’Connor’s collection.

It’s also the home of the Crop Circles Research Foundation, a nonprofit O’Connor founded to fund aerial photography and study of the enormous and elaborate patterns that have long been turning up in farmers’ fields around the world. In addition, the library hosts weekly, Tuesday-night meetings for people who are interested in UFOs and extraterrestrials.

Most Tuesdays, those meetings are small and informal, with a handful of visitors gathered to watch a DVD together or to discuss a specific topic. Occasionally, more people turn up for a special event. On May 6, some 70 people came out to hear Judge Howard talk about what happened 40 years ago to cattle in Teton County.

It all started, Howard told his audience, on Memorial Day, 1975. He had been elected sheriff the previous November, despite having no lawenforcement experience, and he was on his way to Bozeman for several weeks of training. When he arrived, a phone call was waiting for him. His undersheriff was on the line. Something inexplicable had happened.

About a half hour after checking on a healthy young heifer, his undersheriff said, a rancher had found the same animal dead in his field. And not just dead, but dismembered with weird precision. Looking for an explanation, the rancher called a local veterinarian and asked him to perform a necropsy.

“So they did the necropsy,” Howard says, telling the story again, “and in the course of doing that, the veterinarian [was] looking for internal things that weren’t there. The sexual organs.”

Over the next two years, Howard estimates he responded to between 20 and 30 similar reports of suspiciously mutilated cattle. As he crisscrossed the more than 2,000 square miles of Teton County to examine specimens, a pattern began to emerge.

The cattle were generally young and female, they were generally found in the county’s flat and open graze land rather than along the Rocky Mountain Front, and they were generally discovered “fairly close to water.” Their remains turned up along streams, at springs, beside water tanks and along the banks of the Dearborn and Missouri rivers.

The condition of the cattle also fit a pattern. In most cases, they were found lying on their side, with their vaginal area “molested and removed.” Other internal sexual organs had also been excised and parts of their facial masks removed “from about the ear down to the lower jaw, extending forward to the opening of the mouth,” says Howard.

Eyes had also sometimes been removed, as well as tongues. Despite being putrefied and dismembered, there was no indication the carcasses had been preyed upon by birds, coyotes or anything else but maggots.

Howard searched for a logical explanation. He grew up working on ranches, so he knew this wasn’t how cattle look when they die a natural death.

“These areas around the vaginal area, for instance—very, very smooth cuts,” he says. “The hide was gone, the flesh was not. So, it isn’t something a coyote can grab a hold of and stand there and back off and jerk and pull and twist and turn until the hide comes off. It looked as though it had been surgically removed.

How it was removed, I don’t have a clue. But it sure enough wasn’t from a coyote or a grizzly bear.”

He considered, too, the possibility that humans had killed the animals. He searched for evidence. He looked for footprints and tire tracks.

Once, on a bench above Freezout Lake, south of Choteau, he responded to a call about two suspiciously dead and mutilated heifers near a little body of water surrounded by deep mud. The cattle had made a path of firmer ground that allowed them access to the water, but the heifers in question were off to the side of this path.

“And it was like they had fallen down and then someone reached out with a hook and slid them 20 to 30 feet,” Howard says. “No other marks whatever were present. None. …

There isn’t any way possible somebody could have walked out there and not left a track. But there were no tracks. None.”

Howard consulted numerous veterinarians during his two years of investigation. He says they were all as confused and astounded as he was. So were the law enforcement of neighboring counties, where cattle mutilations were also occurring.

Eventually, Howard says sheriffs and police from throughout the area formed a task force that sought to explain the mutilations. According to a New York Times article on a new rash of cattle mutilations in the area in 2001, that task force force was based in the Cascade County Sheriff ’s Office from 1974 to 1977, and it produced no tangible results. Instead of moving toward an explanation, the situation only became more strange.

“We were into the mutilations for two, three months, maybe longer,” Howard says, “and then we started getting reports of the UFOs.”

On Aug. 15, 1950, Nick Mariana of Great Falls captured the first known film of UFOs ever made in the United States. Air Force officials allegedly confiscated some 35 frames of his footage in order to conceal evidence of flying discs.

missoulanews.com • July 24–July 31, 2014 [17]

The reports, Howard says, came from “good, solid family people.” He and his deputies even gave some of them polygraphs during interviews about what had happened.

“We never, ever had any reason whatsoever to suspect anybody was lying to us,” Howard says. “They were just relating what they saw.”

Often, there were multiple, credible witnesses who all told identical and highly detailed accounts of seeing large, flying craft, often up-close and often for substantial periods of time. While Howard never saw one himself, he tried.

“I’ve chased them all over the country out here on other people’s word,” he says.

One night in the midst of the mutilations and the sightings, a friend came into the sheriff ’s office and told Howard about a “really, really bright star” in the night sky. Howard went out and looked.

“And I thought, ‘Well, by golly, maybe,’” Howard says. “So I said, ‘You get in the car and hang on. I’ll do the drivin’, and you do the lookin’.”

Before he left his office, Howard asked an employee to call an Air Force colonel he knew and who also had an “intriguing interest” in UFOs. The colonel worked in a small Air Force outpost just north of Pendroy, a tiny unincorporated town near the northern edge of Teton County. The outpost, Howard says, was a station for monitoring planes conducting electronic bombing runs out of Great Falls’ Malmstrom Air Force Base, and the colonel had offered to try to detect UFO activity on radar.

While his office contacted the outpost and requested they keep an eye out for anything unusual, Howard and his friend pursued the light down a gravel road, east of Freezout Lake. “And the closer we got, the more realization we had that, ‘Hey, we’re looking at something that isn’t a star.’” Eventually, the object started to move. Howard, however, couldn’t get closer. He’d run out of road. Then the light went out.

“And that’s about the time they said, ‘Well, you should come to the tracking station [near Pendroy], we’ve got something we think you would find very interesting.’ So I did that very thing,” Howard says.

When he arrived at the collection of trailers that comprised the Air Force outpost, the colonel invited Howard inside.

“It looked like an oversized polygraph, if you will,” Howard says. “Big desk, couple guys sitting there and above the desk in a vertical plane is this paper that is making these recordations on it.” The paper showed the elevation, speed and other data about the object Howard had been chasing. It seemed to track the object as it drifted, then went “instantaneously straight up,” made “an instantaneous stop” and started “floating or drifting again.” “And [the colonel] looked at me,” Howard continues, “and said, ‘I know. I’ve been in the Air Force a while. We do not have any kind of a flying machine that can do that.’”

Minutes later, Howard says, a car pulled up and three or four men in black coveralls, carrying what looked like fishing-pole tubes, got out. They entered the tracking station, asked for the colonel and told him Howard had to leave immediately. Howard obeyed and waited outside. A few minutes later, the men emerged with their tubes and left.

“So the colonel apologized and said, ‘They have taken the paper tracing that we made of all this, and it’s gone. It’s now going to Malmstrom Air Force Base,’” Howard says.

According to Joan Bird, author of Montana UFOs and Extraterrestrials, Air Force officials have been confiscating evidence of UFO activity around Malmstrom since at least 1950. That was the year Nick Mariana made the first known film of UFOs ever recorded in the United States. He made it on Aug. 15, from the parking lot of Legion Ballpark, home of the Great Falls Electrics.

Mariana was the minor league baseball team’s general manager and a graduate of the University of Montana School of Journalism.

Though only 15 seconds long, the clip offered a compelling new kind of evidence of UFO activity. It allowed those who had never seen a UFO in person to feel like they’d had a first-hand experience of doing so. It allowed others to see what Mariana saw: two discs in the sky above Great Falls, near the Anaconda Company smokestack that then was an Electric City landmark and has since been demolished.

“The discs,” Mariana later recounted in footage widely available online, “appeared to be spinning like a top, and were about 50 feet across and about 50 yards apart. I could not see any exhaust, wings or any kind of fuselage.

There was no cabin, no odor, no sound, except I thought I heard a whooshing sounds when I saw them.”

Mariana shared what he’d seen with the Great Falls Leader, an afternoon paper. Then, on Oct. 4, 1950, an Air Force captain visited Mariana, listened to his account and took his film for analysis. After viewing Mariana’s footage, the Air Force issued a statement saying the film was “too dark to distinguish any objects” and gave Mariana his film. It was returned, however, in an altered state, with some 35 frames of tape spliced out of it, Mariana claimed.

“The missing footage showed the clearest views of the two spinning metal discs,” Bird writes.

Bird says this is but one example of a pervasive government and military campaign to conceal the truth about UFO activity not only in Montana but throughout the country. In

Montana’ Montana’s s Exclusive Airstr Airstream eam Dealer [18] Missoula Independent • April 13–April 20, 2012

Montana, much of that activity and much of that campaign has been focused on Malmstrom, where a portion of the nation’s nuclear arsenal is stored in underground silos.

On March 24, 1967, for example, Air Force Lt. Robert Salas was monitoring 10 nuclear missiles in a subterranean launch control capsule based out of Malmstrom when an airman on the ground reported that a UFO was hovering above the silo’s gate. Soon, a series of alarms went off. “Within minutes,” Bird writes, “all ten missiles … were shut down.”

The Air Force allegedly forbade Salas or anyone else from talking about the incident, and it remained secret for years. (A spokesman for Malmstrom’s 341st Missile Wing public affairs office declined to comment to the Indy on all reports regarding UFOs.) The connection between UFOs, extraterrestrial visitations, Malmstrom, nuclear missiles and the confiscation of evidence is not coincidental, according to Bird and others.

“I go back and read a lot of those early accounts [of abduction], because right after this planet developed nuclear weapons is when a lot of experiences and a lot of sightings started happening,” Bird says from the dining room table of her home in Helena. “And these early contactees said, ‘Yes, they’re here, because they’re very concerned about whether this planet’s going to make it or not. And they’re here to try to help us catch up our moral evolution with our technological evolution. That our moral evolution or spiritual evolution is lagging behind our technological evolution, and that there are no guarantees. A lot of planets haven’t made it through this particular passage in evolution, this particular point in their development.’”

O’Connor of the JAML also cites “these very well documented” extraterrestrial interventions in Montana’s missile cache when advocating for increased contact with alien civilizations. He believes if we interact with those from other worlds with the “proper degree of curiosity and perhaps even humility,” we can find practical means for repairing the damage we’ve done to the planet.

“I’ll give you one example of that,” he says, while reaching toward a shelf in the library for a copy of Paul

Potter’s Gravitational Manipulation of Domed Craft: UFO Propulsion Dynamics.

Potter, O’Connor explains, shows in the book how the technology that propels flying saucers might be used to produce a safe and sufficient source of energy to meet all of our needs without harming our planet.

Joe Nickell has heard stories like these before. As a senior research fellow at the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry and an investigative writer for Skeptical Inquirer magazine, he spends his time researching claims of “historical, paranormal and forensic mysteries, myths and hoaxes.” Nickell, who is based in Amherst, N.Y., has studied everything from Bigfoot to the Shroud of Turin in search of logical explanations for the seemingly inexplicable—and he says he has found them.

As for those who claim extraterrestrials have visited Earth in space craft, Nickell is dismissive.

“What they’re doing is, they’re engaging in a logical fallacy called ‘an argument from ignorance,’” Nickell says. “And what it means is, you can’t draw a conclusion from ‘I don’t know.’ You can’t say, ‘Well, nobody can tell us what that bright zig-zagging light was, therefore, you see, it’s an extraterrestrial craft.’”

The alleged evidence of an extraterrestrial presence, Nickell argues, can always be shown to derive from an earthly source. Just because the government changed its story about what happened at Roswell, that doesn’t prove a UFO crashed there. He points to the U.S. government’s admission in 1994 that, in fact, there was a cover-up of what really happened in 1947—but what was being concealed was not an alien craft but the crash of a top-secret, high-altitude balloon during a test flight for an atomic-detection program called Project Mogul.

The connection between cattle mutilations and UFOs, Nickell says, has also been explained. He says it’s animal predators, not aliens, that cause this unusual phenomenon.

“Sometimes we’re told that, ‘Oh, there were these circular, very precision cuts,’” Nickell says. “And they’re not precision cuts. What happened was the sharp little teeth of the little predator left a hole and then the animal began to decay, putrefy, and the gases caused the animal to bloat. And the bloating stretched that hole until it looked quite sharp and precise.”

The idea that extraterrestrials visit our planet is a “popular mythology for our time,” Nickell says.

“Here we are on this small, isolated planet in the middle of nowhere,” he says. “We used to have a world in which the world itself had vast wildernesses and so forth, and so our attention was to crossing the ocean and going to remote arctic areas and deep wildernesses

and the depths of lakes and looking for Nessie and so forth. But increasingly, we’re finding this shrunken planet. … And we’ve begun to look out now from the planet. We’re looking to other worlds.”

As humans look, many continue to find signs of extraterrestrial life. According to a 2012 National Geographic poll, 36 percent of Americans—about 80 million people—believe UFOs exist.

These believers see signs that humans are not alone, that there is more than just this small and shrinking earth— and it’s a tantalizing thought.

That thought may be rooted in hope, as Nickell suggests, but it’s also a product of what Bird, O’Connor and many others insist is solid evidence. They point to prehistoric paintings that depict what appear to be flying discs. They point to films and photographs that show all manner of strange spacecraft and inexplicable lights moving across the sky. They cite changes in the biophysical makeup of the plants and soil of crop circles. They point to the surgically removed implants found in abductees.

For them, it is not wishful thinking that has conjured up belief in extraterrestrial visitations. Rather, it is fear that has made humans unwilling to recognize the overwhelming evidence of UFOs and the presence of aliens.

“This stuff is all out there,” Bird says, “but there’s just a lot of resistance to the topic because, as Mack [the Harvard psychiatrist] says so beautifully, it threatens our nature of reality.”

Judge Howard says he is unable to make any definitive claims about what happened in Teton County in the 1970s, but absent any earthly explanation, he’s willing to look elsewhere.

“In court, it’s proof beyond a reasonable doubt,” he says. “We don’t have that. But neither do we have any proof that would dispel what these people are saying.”

Without such proof, all Howard can do is wait for a sign, for confirmation, for a UFO to show itself to him and offer up some answers.

Bird’s book offers an extensively re“I would love to see one,” he says. searched account of Montana’s place in the history of UFO sightings and “And if I ever do and it’s close enough, extraterrestrial encounters.

Many I’m going to see if I can hitch a ride.” tmcdermott@missoulanews.com

Blending sounds The Experimental Housewife looks to the past for electronic music’s future

by Erika Fredrickson

E

velyn Malinowski got her most recent DJ moniker while drilling a hole through a wall. Her French girlfriend at the time, who was helping her hang pictures, chided Malinowski about her amateur approach to drilling. “Well, aren’t you just the experimental housewife?” she said. Malinowski laughs as she mimics the taunting accent.

“So I rolled with it,” she says.

For the last three years, Malinowski, formerly known as Ever No, has played electronic music under the name The Experimental Housewife at the Palace in Missoula, clubs in Seattle and San Francisco, and in Germany while a graduate student at the Freie Universitat Berlin. She often shortens the handle to “ExHouse,” which fits well with her tendency to play progressive house music along with dub and techno. But The Experimental Housewife name evokes something even more meaningful for Malinowski that gets to the roots of electronic music—specifically, to music pioneers like Daphne Oram, who created a sound technique using drawings on film, and Delia Derbyshire, who in 1963 developed the electronic sound for Ron Grainer’s score to the original British television series “Doctor Who.” (Grainer, apparently, was amazed by the interpretation and asked that Derbyshire get co-writing credit, but the BBC bureaucrats said no.) Derbyshire was one of several women working in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop at the time.

“Some of the early pioneers of the synthesizer sound boards were women in the 1950s, and they looked like the stereotypical housewife because they

had their cat-eye glasses and their hair up in that fashion,” Malinowski says. “But then you look at a picture of them and they’re sitting behind a giant computer board, plugging into a speaker. So The Experimental Housewife refers to that kind of heritage.”

It’s not so much that Oram and Derbyshire were feminists themselves—they were musicians who happened to be female in a male-dominated world of machinery. But in retrospect they have come to be seen as the flag bearers for today’s women in electronic music, examples of how women have been a part of the culture from the beginning but are still seen as new additions and novelties. Malinowski is a staff writer for the Berlin blog No Fear of Pop, and addressed the issue of women in electronica in an essay last year. “If guitars are the rock-n-roll toys for boys,” she wrote, “shouldn’t the Oramics machine, the Wobbulator, and various mixers be the girls’?”(She’s being a bit cheeky here—for the record, she doesn’t deny that girls have just as much of a claim to guitars.)

Malinowski has spent lots of time thinking about women in the genre, but when it comes down to it, like any sound geek, she just wants to talk about the music. When she was 14 and living in a small Texas town called Nacogdoches, Malinowski saw the MTV video for The Prodigy’s “Firestarter” and got hooked on the British band’s sound. That experience led to a love for The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim and British electro-punk. Her friends called her Electronic Evelyn because she was the only one of them learning to beat mix on a CD double turntable, spending

[20] Missoula Independent • July 24–July 31, 2014

hours making mixtapes that she would share with the group.

“Next to just having amazing taste—your song selection has to be good—you have to take it somewhere,” she says. “It’s not just about smooth mixing but a story, a climax you create over the mix. And it’s tricky, especially with records.”

Malinowski’s list of music heroes begins with Sasha, a renowned DJ from Wales who began his career in the 1980s playing acid house. But the rest of her list is comprised of women—she realizes this only after she starts naming them—like producer/DJ Paula Temple, technopop DJ Laurel Halo, Cherushii, Estonian producer Maria Minerva and MIA. Malinowski met Cherushii last year and they’ve become instant friends; already they’re planning a trip to Berlin together.

“We talk music like the way I’ve always talked with my bros about music,” Malinowski says. “We’ll straight up sister-talk for hours about music. I love her work— it’s driven, strong and professional.”

Malinowski likes the sounds these women artists make and also that they defy stereotypes. In the essay she wrote for No Fear of Pop she describes her adoration. “These girls, as are many women prevalent in the global techno scene of the moment, are very much in charge of their gear, and their gear is devoted to them.

Maria’s [Minerva] voice and relentless looping samples are a bit like can openers for the preserved mind that predicts certain things from women’s music, and Cherushii’s beats are a little like electric knives, the handles of which glow warm milky neon colors. In this case,

instead of consuming some kind of entree, we are consumed by dance.”

Knives and can openers echo back to the housewife idea, upending the stereotype of a woman and her gadgets.

On Aug. 1, Malinowski will be part of the Digital and Analog Technologies (DAT) Conference, a three-day gathering organized by promoters Tara Emery and Logen Foret to showcase artists and offer panel discussions on electronic music. She will play a set and join a panel talking about the ups and downs throughout electronic music history and discussing where it needs to go in the future.

In Missoula, electronic music has become more prevalent. Also prevalent are DJ nights featuring women. Right now, Malinowski says, there are pros and cons to that dynamic. On one hand, an all-women night puts female DJs in the spotlight. On the other hand, the separation can feed the idea that female DJs are a novelty.

“I think things have changed, especially in the last three years because people have started to really talk about it,” Malinowski says. “Both men and women. The important thing is we are aware that we don’t all have to all make music one way or the other. I’m the androgynous tomboy DJ, the Experimental Housewife finding a new channel for that housewife who never really got to explore her closeted intellectual interests. I keep trucking along like that. I just want to play the music I love.” efredrickson@missoulanews.com

Soul man The unifying principle of Charles Bradley Charles Bradley is a 65-year-old black man who sings soul music with a band of young white Brooklynites. Whether that represents the best or worst of American music culture is a matter of perspective.

Bradley’s career took off when Daptone Records founder Gabriel Roth saw him performing as a James Brown impersonator. Roth introduced him to producer Tom Brenneck, who helped him write and record his first album, No Time For Dreaming, in 2011. At age 62, Bradley lived out his lifelong dream of performing historically black music, thanks to several well-connected white people.

Even the most rigid purist would agree that Bradley is a rightful inheritor to the soul tradition. But what to make of the people onstage behind him? Now Charles Bradley touring with the Menahan Street Band, Bradley is either a pleasing example of post-racial, post-class, post-generational American music or a disturbing instance of black culture co-opted. It’s a question of authenticity. And like most questions of authenticity, Charles Bradley and the Menahan Street Band turns on a false dichotomy.

Contemporary American music, including bearded hipster rock, is black music. In their embrace of soul, the bearded hipsters who back Bradley—both instrumentally and financially—only appear to join a long history of exploitation. From The Black Keys to Van Morrison, tal-

ented honkies have long made money selling black music without black people in it. But Brenneck and the MSB aren’t using their whiteness to market the soul tradition; they’re joining that tradition despite their race, through the clever expedient of letting a sexagenarian black man do his thing. The combination of Bradley and several guys who look like your sister’s boyfriend somehow points to soul not as authentic racial music, nor as ersatz culture for white people, but as a common ancestor of virtually everything that modern people like to listen to.

If you want proof, listen to Bradley’s cover of “Changes.” It’s a beautiful soul song, in such a way that I initially forgot it was written

by Black Sabbath. It turns out that restrained longing, that dignified progression through the blues, is the unifying principle behind garage rock and lounge music.

Maybe “common denominator” is a better term. It’s not what brings people together; it’s the place we all came from. When I first heard about Charles Bradley, I thought he sounded like a novelty act. I was wrong. You know his music is the real thing, because everybody hears something familiar in it. (Dan Brooks) Charles Bradley plays the Top Hat Thu., July 31, at 8 PM. Doors open at 7. $17/ $14 advance at tophatlounge.com

Jolie Holland, Wine Dark Sea Jolie Holland has always existed in the peculiar margins of “roots” music. The singer-songwriter and founding member of the Canadian folk group The Be Good Tanyas has dabbled efficiently in everything from soulful blues to jangly alt-country. On her fifth release, Wine Dark Sea, Holland sets sail for more experimental shores, coupling her fondness for American music traditions with colorful, off-kilter compositions.

The experimental accompaniment and embellishments here often nod at the more melodic side of Tom Waits or the pop-song-meets-sonic-shitstorm formula embraced by Wilco. A frenetic, noisy guitar tears a hole through the middle of the retro R&B of “Waiting For The Sun” (and really, most of the other tracks as well)

and a distorted bass clarinet injects the breezy, pianobased tune “All the Love” with a taste of twisted jazz.

Holland’s intriguing, often charming slur, which can be an acquired taste for those who aren’t already fans, might sound out of place in her previous, more traditional arrangements, but fits better among the weirdness here. While Wine Dark Sea isn’t exactly reeling with the wild-eyed abandon it is marketed as being full of, it’s an exciting step out of the conventional box that stunts the artistic growth of many of Holland’s contemporaries.

Rick Springfield For some, Rick Springfield is just a guy on the radio who wants Jessie’s girl. For others, he offered the sage advice of “Don’t Talk to Strangers” and “Celebrate Youth” when they needed to hear it. He represents early ’80s pop rock, with his signature steely vocal harmonies and uncomplicated riffs. Springfield specialized in the kind of quick hits where every song title is also the chorus.

He spread his stardom as heartthrob Dr. Noah Drake on “General Hospital,” a role he is currently reprising. That Australian really won us over for a minute.

In the last several years, Springfield has been busy with some promising projects, mostly as a writer. He penned a best-selling memoir, Late, Late at Night, and re-

leased a New York Times best seller, Magnificent Vibration, about a guy who finds a 1-800 number in a self-help book and discovers it’s a direct line to God. It’s too bad his past two albums, 2012’s Songs For the End of the World and 2008’s Venus in Overdrive, sound more like a dad trying to impress his teenage kid with mid-2000s modern rock— though, to be fair, he emulates that sound well. The thing is, he doesn’t need to change his style to find new young followers. “Jessie’s Girl” and the sound that come with it will always be enough.

45s on ice Terry Cole sells his soul records door-to-door

Terry Cole traveled 9,000 miles cross-country with a Honda full of records.

www.fsbmsla.com

[22] Missoula Independent • July 24–July 31, 2014

A few weeks ago, Terry Cole brought a cooler full of records into Missoula’s Ear Candy Music. He had driven all the way from Middletown, Ohio, in his Honda hatchback to peddle his wares: 2,000 45s produced through his record label, Colemine Records, which deals mostly in soul music. The door-to-door sales tactic led him to Nashville and Memphis, down into Texas, through the Southwest desert and up the West Coast before he arrived in Missoula. He bought dry ice at each stop along the way to keep the two 120-quart coolers at a temperature that almost guaranteed the records wouldn’t warp. “Phoenix was scary,” he says. “I woke up at night sure that my records were melting, thinking, ‘Shit! Shit!’

Colemine Records started as a ruse. In the late 1990s, when Cole was an undergraduate at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, he joined a funk-jam-hip-hop group called Soundscape. (“Terrible name for a band,” he concedes.) The group put out a record and Cole slapped the made-up label “Colemine” on it. “I wanted people to think that we were signed,” he says. A Tokyo record label licensed the album and Cole recalls being surprised that he could actually make money off a record this way. He started another band called the Jive Turkeys, who cut Colemine’s first official 45. Producer Tommy Brenneck, who once played as the guitarist for Sharon Jones and the Daptones, connected Cole with the afro-funk group Ikebe Shakedown and Los Sospechos for whom Colemine released a soundtrack for the indie film Postales. Since the label’s official inception in 2007, Cole’s put out 28 45s and a few full-length records from independent soul and funk bands like the Monophonics and the Dojo Cuts.

“I don’t want to recreate Motown,” Cole says.

“We definitely emulate it, though. Every record we release has that old-school production style to it, but we’re still trying to be progressive and push that sound forward.”

Even before Colemine, Cole was no stranger to records and especially not to 45s. His father has been a collector of R&B and doo-wop recordings since Cole

was a little kid. As the youngest of three children in a working class family, Cole didn’t have the means to get into college. So he and his dad decided to hock records—78s, not the 45s—on Ebay to get the funds.

“I didn’t give a shit about 78s, my dad didn’t give a a shit about 78s, so we started buying 78s and selling them from when I was a freshman in high school through my sophomore year in college.”

Meanwhile, Cole pawed through the records and got hooked on R&B, soul and blue note jazz. It wasn’t hard to find the music living so close to Cincinnati, the home of King Records, which launched James Brown.

“You can’t throw your fist around at a garage sale and not hit some King Record 45s,” he says.

Cole admits that until his cross-country quest, he wasn’t very good at promoting Colemine’s records. But as a botany and zoology high school teacher, he has time in the summer to spare. Before his trip, he produced a Colemine compilation featuring songs from all of the label’s albums and hit the road in early June. He called up some shops to let them know he was coming, and he stopped by others on a whim.

For the most part, he says, he has had great success—though he did have to backtrack from Spokane to Walla Walla when he left one of his coolers at a record store called Hot Poop. He says the stores, including Ear Candy, have been receptive and he has gotten all of them—with the exception of one Texas shop—to commit to carrying his records for a trial run. Some store owners have befriended him, taking him out for breakfast or a beer. Mostly, he’s just met other record nerds like himself interested in talking about music.

“Nobody goes 9,000 miles in a car and talks to 50 or 60 shops individually and gets to know them,” he says. “For the [Colemine] artists, I’ll get that fucking bottom line. Your record will be in the shop and they will probably like it. And for the record stores, if nothing else, they’ll remember the dirty long-haired teacher who came in and talked with them about soul music.” arts@missoulanews.com

One abortion, lots of laughs in Obvious Child

Chick in a box.

“I’ve never liked rom coms,” says Donna Stern, played by Jenny Slate, at an awesomely self-referential point in Obvious Child. “I just never related to them.”

Obvious Child is excellently relatable—and no mere rom com, either. Director Gillian Robespierre’s debut is a rom com that’s made NPR headlines and Jezebel posts for an unabashedly pro-choice plot. In the film, Donna chooses a procedure that’s incredibly common—1 in 3 American women will have an abortion—but remains a taboo topic, even though it’s been legal in the U.S. for more than 40 years. Right out of the gate, this film has drawn a ton of attention. It was widely reported when NBCUniversal wouldn’t air ads for Obvious Child with the word “abortion” in them, though NBCU later apologized and said “feedback was mistakenly given” to remove the word.

Headlines aside, I went into Obvious Child hoping that it would stand well enough on its own merit. As a sweet little indie comedy packed with one-liners, it totally does. This is a film about an abortion, yes, but more about the conflicting intersection of immaturity and adulthood that a lot of people deal with in their 20s. It’s an intersection that’s particularly weird for women, because society expects a different degree of maturity from adult women than it does of men. In the very first scene, Donna, a Brooklyn bookstore employee and aspiring comedian, is onstage at a comedy night, telling jokes involving vaginal secretions and farting—so you know straightaway this show isn’t going to make any pretense of ladies being delicate, sensible flowers.

Donna also tells jokes about her boyfriend, an uneasy looking guy in the audience, and this doesn’t bode well. After he breaks up with her in the graffiti-filled bathroom of the club, she goes on a depressed downward spiral, chugging wine and leaving pathetic voicemails.

Slate, a real-life comedian who played Mona-Lisa in recent seasons of “Parks and Recreation,” anchors the film with her first big lead role. Slate’s a fantastic physical actor, willing to do all kinds of goofy face contortions, though make no mistake, she’s very pretty. I’d kill for her hair.

Anyhow, pretty soon Donna gets drunk and meets a cute dude, Max, played by Jake Lacy. The first thing she does is make fun of his shoes. Max seems to dig her bumbling awkwardness, and is rather silly himself, so they

jump in the sack. Donna’s still hung up on her ex, so she forgets about it—until a few weeks later, when she realizes her period is late. “I remember seeing a condom, I just don’t know what it did,” she explains to her sister.

As the date for the surgery approaches, Donna has to figure out how to tell Max about it—and figure out that she likes him.

Donna also has no compunction in asking her doctor for an abortion, pointing out that she can barely take care of herself. The $500 cost of the procedure is a hardship for her, let alone paying for a kid.

A few nitpicks: The abortion scene, while accurate, is a little outdated from a medical standpoint. Donna caught her pregnancy early enough to have qualified for a pill abortion, though I can see why a surgical abortion better suits the plot’s structure. This is still a rom com, with some of the silly conventions that rom-com haters might have a hard time with, like characters meeting up randomly all the time in New York City. And it bears pointing out that Obvious Child is a comedy about thin, attractive, mostly white people, but my fingers are crossed that this paves the way for more films with more diverse representation.

Obvious Child reminds me of the snappy Comedy Central series, “Broad City,” about two New Yorkers in their 20s who have all sorts of misadventures. “Broad City” and Obvious Child share a lot of detractors for how gross they are. Both make light of the everyday things in women’s lives that are taboo in general society; comedians can talk all day long about boners and poop, but get a lady talking about anything related to her uterus, and suddenly it’s over the line.

Obvious Child is showing in Missoula largely thanks to NARAL Pro-Choice Montana, Blue Mountain Clinic and Planned Parenthood, who teamed up to find a theater willing to show it. In this case, the Wilma stepped to the plate. In these times when women’s right to determine what happens to their bodies is under attack from seemingly all corners (cough, Hobby Lobby), Obvious Child is a reminder that there are still people willing to support women.

Obvious Child continues at the Wilma.

[24] Missoula Independent • July 24–July 31, 2014

I am decidedly not in the business of reviewing children’s movies. In fact, I’m almost certain I’ve never done a kid’s film review over nearly two decades of writing for the Indy. Because really, what’s the point? Sure, there are some children’s films that are thoroughly enjoyable for parents (Up, Wall-E, The Princess Bride come to mind), but for the most part kids covet pretty much anything you put in front of them because it’s fun to go to a movie and, well, they’re kids and they have stunted critical capabilities (outside of siblings and vegetables).

But along comes Planes: Fire and Rescue, the new animated feature from DisneyToon Studios, and all of a sudden we’ve got something to talk about. Finally, some people in cartoonland noticed that life isn’t all about imaginary aliens, superheroes and toys, and shifted their creative chops to a real-life monster that terrorizes us Westerners seemingly every year: wildland fires. The studio’s commitment to getting the story right is reflected in the fact that they consulted none other than Missoula’s own Neptune Aviation for sound effects for one of the secondary characters in the film.

The sequel to last summer’s Planes (itself a spinoff of the wildly successful Pixar movie Cars), Fire and Rescue is set in a fictional Western landscape during the height of fire season. Fans of the first film will be saddened to hear that Dusty Crophopper, the swashbuckling cropduster-turned-racing-hero, has become crippled by a faulty (and somehow inoperable) gearbox and can no longer outfly planes much bigger and faster than he.

But those fans (especially those who live west of the Mississippi) will be heartened to learn that Dusty has now set his modified sights on becoming an aerial firefighter.

Director Roberts Gannaway and writer Jeffrey M. Howard have some fun by reimagining a Western landscape consisting seemingly of nothing but national parks, modified for anthropomorphic vehicles. The toon

version of Redwood Park features an old-growth tree with two holes in it, one for ground vehicles to pass through and an elevated one for planes. Yellowstone’s Old Faithful, Yosemite Falls and Mount Rushmore all get nods as well, and the film’s main park, Piston Peak, is named for an Arches-esque stone pillar shaped like, yup, an engine piston.

These toon parks are as tree-huggy as actual national parks, which means there’s plenty of fuel for burning once some young whippersnappers start fooling around with spark plugs (the fire’s origin is not actually revealed, but one can presume). Once the conflagration begins, it’s time for Dusty and his new friends to fly into action, and the lessons for kiddie viewers commence. Lessons like it’s never okay to disobey an order from your superior, unless you happen to daringly save the lives of a ground crew. (Smokejumpers in the film are portrayed by miniature front-end loaders and bulldozers with super-cool appendages like saw blades, etc., confirming what actual smokejumpers already know—they’re frickin’ machines!) And that it’s okay to have a broken gearbox as long as you have a huge heart and stone balls. And that you should never trust a Cadillac, especially if he’s the superintendent of a national park.

Yes, the learning moments abound in Planes: Fire and Rescue, and kids all over the world will soon realize just how rewarding and glamorous it is to fight fires in the stunning American West—which is great, because lord knows we could use all the help we can get. Just remember this lesson, when those fresh faces start showing up in a few years: You should never judge a cropduster by its gearbox.

Wildwood’s Krumholz Ale HAPPIEST HOUR What it is: A new Bavarian-style dark wheat beer from Stevensville’s Wildwood Brewing. The first batch of this seasonal selection was tapped in early June and then canned a few weeks later.

Wait, Wildwood already brews a wheat beer: Why, yes, it does.

The White Bark Wheat has been around for a while and is a flavorful, light-bodied hefeweizen with hints of banana and clove.

The Krumholz Ale follows the same Bavarian brewing style as the White Bark, but it involves roasted malts that give it more body and notes of caramel. Wildwood founder Jim Lueders refers to the Krumholz as “a close cousin” of the White Bark.

Tell us about the name: Lueders explains that “krumholz” (also spelled “krummholz” or “krumholtz”) is a German word for the last trees you see going up the mountain before heading into the rocks. “These are the trees that are all twisted and stunted and have had the wind blowing on them,” he says.

“It’s a German word that translates literally to ‘twisted or bent wood,’ but a lot of Montana hikers are familiar with it.”

Where can you find Krumholz: The trees? Wrong column, bud. But the beer is available at the Wildwood taproom off Highway 93, just north of Stevensville. photo by Skylar Browning Lueders says fourpacks of cans are also already at or en route to local retailers like the Good Food Store, Orange Street Food Farm and Summer Sun Garden and Brew. Wildwood recently signed with Summit Beverage, ensuring wider distribution of its organic brews throughout the area. Lueders can usually say where exactly each of his seasonal beers can be found, but that’s changing. “I haven’t been out in a while,” he says. “We’re too busy producing to meet the demand.”

selected short For a 20-minute short film, The Duchess of Suchness packs plenty of emotion. The quirky drama stars Pepper Wilson (a longtime Missoulian who you’ve probably seen sipping coffee at Bernice’s and volunteering for events around town) as Rita, an absentminded elderly woman seeking forgiveness from her dead husband. The charming tone and often-symmetrically framed cinematography might remind some viewers of a Wes Anderson feel. The film begins with Rita walking home on a cold, snowy Missoula day to her apartment on a very recognizable Third Street, and then she lights a candle, sits down with a six-pack of Rolling Rock and starts dialing every number in the phone book, pleading, “Is this Brian? Please don’t hang up. Please forgive me.”

WHAT: The Duchess of Suchness WHEN: Fri., July 25, at 9 PM WHERE: Roxy HOW MUCH: $10 suggested donation

The next day, a mustachioed Meals on Wheels provider, played by Jeff Medley, comes in to find her passed out in her armchair, and tenderly puts her buzzing phone back on the hook and checks to make sure she’s still breathing. It’s funny, odd and terribly sad, all at once—and that’s just in the first five minutes. cas.umt.edu/physics/Blue_Mountain_Observatory.

Pepper Wilson stars in The Dutchess of Suchness.

Duchess is the directorial debut from Andrew Rizzo, a Queens native turned Missoula-based actor who you might recognize as the star of the 2013 Montana-made film Best Bar in America as well as theater productions like MCT’s 2011 version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The film screens at the Roxy for its first test showing before audiences, and the filmmakers are requesting donations to help get Duchess screened at bigger festivals around the country. Duchess is a serious film, yes, but it’s also a tribute to an elderly woman living a rich, colorful life that you don’t often see— and it’s worth checking out.

Hot Springs to Anaconda Transmission H LLine Rebuild Project Open House Th B The Bonneville ill P Power A Administration invites you to attend an open house meeting to review its proposal to rebuild three existing transmission lines—the Hot Springs-Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake-Garrison, and Garrison-Anaconda lines—that run consecutively from Hot Springs, Montana to Anaconda, Montana. All are 230-kilovolt lines, supported by wood poles located in Missoula, Sanders and Powell Counties. BPA built these power lines in the 1950s. They are deteriorating due to age and weather, and need to be rebuilt so that BPA can continue providing safe, reliable electric service.

Open-House Meetings

The project would include: • Replacing wood pole transmission structures, associated components, and conductors (wires).

• Removing existing structures and replacing them with structures of similar design within or near their existing locations.

• Improving some existing access roads to provide construction access and adding some new access roads, where needed, for safe access to structures where BPA currently does not have adequate access.

BPA’s project staff would like to hear your ideas and concerns, answer your questions, and accept comments related to the scope of the Environmental Impact Statement. We invite you to participate in the environmental review to help us make fully informed decisions and to meet our responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act. Please attend one of three public open house meetings in Missoula, Dixon and Deer Lodge, MT., to learn more.

Tuesday July 29th 4 to 7 p.m.

Missoula Fire Department, Station 4 3011 Latimor Street Missoula, MT 59808

Wednesday July 30th 4 to 7 p.m.

Dixon Senior Citizens Center 106 3rd Street Dixon, MT 59831

Thursday July 31st 4 to 7 p.m.

William K. Kohrs Memorial Library 501 Missouri Ave Deer Lodge, MT 59722

BPA is accepting comments on the proposed project through August 12, 2014. You may submit comments to BPA online at www.bpa.gov/comment or fax comments to 503-230-3285.

MOUNTAIN HIGH

F

un fact: Key West, Florida, hosts Hemingway Days for a week every summer, in honor of good ol’ Ernest Hemingway’s birthday on July 21. In tribute to the author, people come from all around to do stuff that Papa did during his years living in Key West, like marlin fishing, arm wrestling and day-drinking on boats (I’m just guessing on that last one.) A highlight of the festival is the bull run, where a crowd of bearded Hemingway lookalikes run down the street with plastic dummy bulls in tow, in honor of Hemingway’s running with the bulls in Pamplona.

Anyhow, my point that I’m roughly leading up to is that outdoorsy adventurousness is no stranger to literary ambition. On Saturday, the Missoula Public Library hosts its third annual Book’n It For the Library,

which offers an 8K and 3K fun run options. Proceeds benefit the library, which, in case you haven’t noticed, offers a sometimes astounding array of services, activities and fonts of knowledge. People are welcome to dress up as literary characters for Book’n It, too—might I suggest a Hemingway costume?

—Kate Whittle The third annual Book'n It For the Library is an 8K/3K fun run/walk on the riverfront trail and U-district on Sat., July 26.

Registration and packet pickup goes 7-8 AM at the library's Front Street entrance. 8K start is 8:30, 3K is 9. $7-$12. Proceeds benefit the library.

Not to brag or anything, but last winter, my ‘93 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera started up for me every time, even during the stretch of single-digit temperatures and snow-pocalypses. Sadly, like an old horse that waits until spring to croak, my Olds made it all the way to Easter before developing some kind of mysterious but threatening noise that my mechanic (um, my dad) cannot diagnose. But that’s okay, because my folks have a trusty ‘91 Buick Century waiting in their stable of ancient vehicles. Yeah, it smells funny when you turn the vent on, and the cassette player is broken. But it runs great, and importantly, they are letting me have it for free.

The lesson here is that vehicles can last a hell of a long time, thereby saving you a ton of money, if you take good care of them. The tricks to coaxing every bit of life out of your car are the simplest: change your oil more frequently than recommended, and keep the water and antifreeze topped

off. You can learn how to do basic stuff like this—and more—at the DIY Car Repair workshop out at MUD’s Tool Library on the corner of Russell and Wyoming Street on Sunday. Incidentally, this week is also the Moscow Monday fundraiser for MUD over at Montgomery Distillery, so you can learn a bunch of useful tips on Sunday, and go toast the local nonprofit’s handiness on Monday.

—Kate Whittle The DIY Car Repair Workshop with Acuity Design's Mike Manhardt goes over all basic stuff that's handy to know, like oil changes and such. MUD Tool Library, 1527 Wyoming (just off Russell) on Sun., July 27 from 9 AMnoon. $20/$10 for MUD members. Visit mudproject.org/event/diy-car-repair-workshop.

FRIDAY JULY 25 Early registration ends today for A Camp to Remember: Flathead Youth Camp, Aug. 18-21 with the Tamarack Grief Resource Center, where kids ages 8-15 grieving a family member can get healing and fun camp experiences, regardless of ability to pay.

Aug. 7 is the last day to register. Call Molly at 5418472 for info and registration.

ADVICE GODDESS

ADOPTION

By Amy Alkon

PREGNANT? THINKING OF ADOPTION? Talk with caring

IS THIS DECEIT TAKEN I'm a 54-year-old single man. I've discovered a troubling and apparently rampant trend among people around my age doing online dating—women not being honest about their age. I think the women doing this include the woman I started seeing, whom I otherwise like a lot. She listed her age as 55 but recently got flustered recalling the year she graduated from high school. I got suspicious and looked her up on people finder sites, which list her age as 57. Should I tell her, "Hey, I've been doing a little detective work, and your numbers don't add up"?

—Just Trying To Find An Honest Woman After a certain point—the French tactfully call it "un certain age"—a woman's birthday tends to come but once every two or three years. Sure, there are women who aren't willing to compromise their ethics just to shave off a few years: my glamorous grandma, for example, who was 31 until the day she died—at 90.

I'm always a little surprised when anybody's surprised that somebody they met on the Internet lied about something. In fact, as I advise in my new book, "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck," everyone on the Internet should be assumed to be lying about everything until proven otherwise. In other words, consider yourself lucky that she's female. And a mammal.

I write often about our evolutionary imperatives, like how men evolved to lust after healthy, fertile women—all the better to help them pass on their genes. The features men consider beautiful—like youth, unwrinkled skin, and an hourglass figure— are actually indicators of a woman's fertility.

And the older and further away a woman gets from peak fertility the more these features fade and the less desirable she becomes to men. Sure, a woman may grow wiser with age, and she may be a perfectly wonderful and kind person, but as I note in my book, "The penis is not a philanthropic organization and will not get hard because a woman bought a homeless guy a sandwich."

You could tell this woman you've caught her in a lie—if your goal is embarrassing her into liking you more. But it isn't like she said she was 30 and turned out to be bumping up against 60. By the way, it isn't just women who engage in attractiveness-improving fibbery. In the male camp, the lies include flashy cars beyond one's

means, liberal interpretations of 6'1" And the reality is, whenever you think you could get serious with a person, you need to look at her character over time— comparing what she says with what she does—to figure out whether she's trustworthy. As you're doing that with this woman, consider taking a counterintuitive approach—calling up a little compassion for where she's coming from. Chances are, she only lied because she figured out where all the honest women are: home alone being 57 instead of having a man like you spirit them off for a romantic weekend at Club Med Guantanamo to waterboard them about their real birthdate.

SELFISH ALLERGY I have a friend I see about once a week, and all she ever does is vent about her various dating problems. The 10 percent of the time we actually discuss my life or anything else, she seems bored. I want to tell her I feel like she's monopolizing our friendship with her love life, but I'm not sure how.

—Ignored You couldn't be a better friend to her, unless, of course, you could have yourself reincarnated as a giant ear.

This isn't friendship; it's therapy without the copay. The question is, has she always been this way? Even a true friend can go through periods of being needy, moody, selfish, or otherwise hard to be around. That friend probably just needs a heads-up, like, "I know you've been on edge about your whole dating situation, but I've been feeling kind of bad that you never seem interested in what's going on with me."

"I'm feeling bad" appeals to their sympathy, which, economist Adam Smith noted, motivates us to try to ease others' discomfort or suffering. Tagging the problem to the "dating situation" suggests that they're a little wrapped up in their problem rather than that they, personally, are the problem. If, however, a person is narcissistic—truly self-absorbed—and if that's always been their orientation, there's probably no transforming them from a talker into a listener (not without ducttaping them to a chair and gagging them with a pair of old tube socks).

Got a problem? Write Amy Alkon, 171 Pier Ave, #280, Santa Monica, CA 90405, or e-mail AdviceAmy@aol.com.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BODY, MIND & SPIRIT

By Rob Brezsny

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): America's biggest winery is E & J Gallo. It sells more wine than any other company, and has been named the planet's "Most Powerful Wine Brand" four different years. Ernest and Julio Gallo launched the enterprise in 1933 after studying the art of winemaking in pamphlets they found in the basement of a public library in Modesto, California. I foresee a less spectacular but metaphorically similar arc for you, Gemini. Sometime soon—maybe it has already happened—information or inspiration you come across in a modest setting will launch you on the path to future success. There is one caveat: You must take seriously the spark you encounter, and not underestimate it because it appears in humble circumstances.

a

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Diamonds are not rare. They are so numerous that if they were evenly distributed, you and me and everyone else on the planet could each have a cupful of them. And if you are ever in your lifetime going to get your personal cupful, it may happen in the next 11 months. That's because your hard work and special talent are more likely than usual to be rewarded with tangible assets. Strokes of luck will tend to manifest in the form of money and treasure and valuable things you can really use. Be alert for the clues, Cancerian. One may appear momentarily.

b

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to the legends about Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table, the boy who would ultimately become King Arthur didn't know he was heir to the throne while he was growing up. His future destiny was hidden from him. The wizard Merlin trained him but made sure he never found out he was special. When the old King Uther Pendragon died, a tournament was staged to find a replacement. The winner would be whoever was able to withdraw the enchanted sword that was embedded in a large stone. Quite by accident, our hero got a chance to make an attempt. Success! I have reminded you of the broad outlines of this tale, Leo, because at least one of its elements resembles your destiny in the next 11 months.

c

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When a crocodile slams its jaws shut, the energy it summons is powerful. But when the beast opens its jaws, the force it exerts is weak. That's because the muscles used to close are much more robust than the muscles used to open. I'm wondering if an analogous story might be told about you these days, Virgo. Are you more prone to close down than to open up? Is it easier for you to resist, avoid, and say no than it is to be receptive, extend a welcome, and say yes? If so, please consider cultivating a better balance. You need both capacities running at full strength in the coming days.

d

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the latter part of the 18th century, American rebels and rabblerousers used to gather regularly in the basement of the Green Dragon Tavern in Boston. There they plotted the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere's ride, and other dissident adventures that opposed British Rule. That's why the Green Dragon became known as the "Headquarters of the Revolution."

I think you and your cohorts need a place like that, Libra. It's high time for you to scheme and dream about taking coordinated actions that will spur teamwork and foster liberation.

e

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "When one has not had a good father, one must create one," said philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. What does that mean? How might you go about "creating" a good father? Well, you could develop a relationship with an admirable older man who is an inspiring role model. You could read books by men whose work stirs you to actualize your own potentials. If you have a vigorous inner life, you could build a fantasy dad in your imagination. Here's another possibility: Cultivate in yourself the qualities you think a good father should have. And even if you actually had a pretty decent father, Scorpio, I'm sure he wasn't perfect. So it still might be interesting to try out some of these ideas. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to get more of the fathering energy you would thrive on.

f

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "If I seem free, it's because I'm always running." So said Sagittarian musician Jimi Hendrix, widely regarded as one of the most inventive and electrifying guitarists who ever lived. Does that prospect have any appeal to you, Sagittarius? I don't, of course, recommend that you keep running for the rest of your long life. After a while, it will be wise to rest and ruminate. But I do think it might be illuminating to try this brazen approach for a week or two. If it feels right, you might also want to mix in some dancing and skipping and leaping with your running.

g

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the next 11 months, Capricorn, you will be given some choice riddles about the art of togetherness. To solve them, you will have to learn much more about the arts of intimacy—or else! It's up to you: Either work your ass off as you strengthen your important relationships, or else risk watching them unravel. But don't take this as a grim, sobering assignment. On the contrary! Play hard. Experiment freely. Be open to unexpected inspiration. Have fun deepening your emotional intelligence. That approach will work best.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As you weave your way through the next chapter of your story, I suggest you take inspiration from the turtle. You may even want to imagine that the turtle is your animal ally, a guide that helps you access the gradual and deliberate kind of intelligence you will need. Moving quickly will not be appropriate for the leisurely lessons that are coming your way. The point is to be deep and thorough about a few things rather than half-knowledgeable about a lot of things. There's one other turtle-like quality I hope you will cultivate, too: the ability to feel at home wherever you are.

Christine White N.D. Elizabeth Axelrod N.D.

BLACK BEAR NATUROPATHIC

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A report in the prestigious British medical journal BMJ says that almost one percent of young pregnant women in the U.S. claim to be virgins. They testify that they have conceived a fetus without the benefit of sex. That's impossible, right? Technically, yes. But if there could ever be a loophole in natural law, it would happen for you Aries sometime in the coming weeks. You will be so exceptionally fertile, so prone to hatching new life, that almost anything could incite germination. A vivid dream or captivating idea or thrilling adventure or exotic encounter might be enough to do the trick.

h

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Hypothesis: The exciting qualities that attract you to someone in the first place will probably drive you a bit crazy if you go on to develop a long-term relationship. That doesn't mean you should avoid seeking connections with intriguing people who captivate your imagination. It does suggest you should have no illusions about what you are getting yourself into. It also implies that you should cultivate a sense of humor about how the experiences that rouse your passion often bring you the best tests and trials. And why am I discussing these eccentric truths with you right now? Because I suspect you will be living proof of them in the months to come.

i

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 1961, Paul Cezanne's painting The Artist's Sister was on display at a museum in Aix-en-Provence, France. Then a lucky event occurred: It was stolen. When it was finally recovered months later, it had been ripped out of its frame. An art restorer who was commissioned to repair it discovered that there was a previously-unknown Cezanne painting on the back of the canvas. As a result, the appraisal of the original piece rose $75,000. Now both sides are on view at the St. Louis City Art Museum. I foresee a comparable progression in your life, Pisces. An apparent setback will ultimately increase your value.

According to the Beneficiary, the obligation evidenced by the Note (“Loan”) is now due for the 09/01/08 installment payment and all monthly installment payments due thereafter.

PUBLIC NOTICES and, if applicable, escrow reserves for taxes and/or insurance as required by the Note and Deed of Trust. According to the Beneficiary, the obligation evidenced by the Note (“Loan”) is now due for the 10/01/12 installment payment and all monthly installment payments due thereafter. As of May 30, 2014, the amount necessary to fully satisfy the Loan was $206,027.84. This amount includes the outstanding principal balance of $184,327.24, plus accrued interest, accrued late charges, accrued escrow installments for insurance and/or taxes (if any) and advances for the protection of beneficiary’s security interest (if any). Because of the defaults stated above, Beneficiary has elected to sell the Property to satisfy the Loan and has instructed Successor Trustee to commence sale proceedings.

Successor Trustee will sell the Property at public auction on the front steps of the Missoula County Courthouse, 200 West Broadway, Missoula, MT 59802, City of Missoula on October 7, 2014 at 11:00 AM, Mountain Time. The sale is a public sale and any person, including Beneficiary and excepting only Successor Trustee, may bid at the sale. The bid price must be paid immediately upon the close of bidding at the sale location in cash or cash equivalents (valid money orders, certified checks or cashier’s checks). The conveyance will be made by trustee’s deed without any representation or warranty, express or implied, as the sale is made strictly on an as-is, where-is basis. Grantor, successor in interest to Grantor or any other person having an interest in the Property may, at any time prior to the trustee’s sale, pay to Beneficiary the entire amount then due on the Loan (including foreclosure costs and expenses actually incurred and trustee’s and attorney’s fees) other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred. Tender of these sums shall effect a cure of the defaults stated above (if all non-monetary defaults are also cured) and shall result in Trustee’s termination of the foreclosure and cancellation of the foreclosure sale. The trustee’s rules of auction may be accessed at www.northwesttrustee.com and are incorporated by the reference. You may also access sale status at www.Northwesttrustee.com or USA-Foreclosure.com.
