STREET TALK

by Cathrine L. Walters

Asked Tuesday, Sept. 23, on Higgins Avenue.

Do you believe in Bigfoot?

Follow-up: What is the biggest thing you’ve ever seen or found in the wild?

Dave Hartman: Sure, why not? There are all kinds of weird cross-bred mammals out there. Monkey Wrench Gang: I found some huge logging equipment up Miller Peak that was vandalized. It was burned and trashed with oil spilled all over it.

Tom Snyder: Yes. There are so many things unknown out there it wouldn't surprise me if there’s a Bigfoot-like creature out there. Whale of a story: I went scuba diving and was five feet away from a whale shark. It was the size of a school bus.

Brent Campbell: Sure. Because it’s an important part of our rural mythology in the Northern Rocky Mountains. I aspire to attend the Bigfoot Festival in Elliston. Bully moose: I had a bull moose walk me out of Rock Creek once. He kept getting within 20 feet of me and was pushing me down the river while I was fishing.

Phil Stempin: I prefer to call him Sasquatch. Backwoods bash: I found some big parties in the woods.

Damian Scott: Yes, I do. Because there are so many places that haven’t been searched thoroughly enough, and every hoax has a grain of truth to it. Hey bear: On the Appalachian Trail in Virginia, on top of White Top Mountain, there was a bear about 200 yards away from me.

Red light I am a criminal defense lawyer and work regularly in federal court. I represented three defendants in the last rounds of federal indictments targeting the Montana medical marijuana industry. I am compelled to write to make sure your readers aren’t given the impression that the federal government has in any way, shape or form given a “Green light” to medical marijuana in Montana (see “Green light?” Sept 18). Participating in the Montana medical marijuana industry subjects you to the very real threat of federal prosecution and a long prison sentence. In my opinion nothing at all has changed since the last raids.

Chris Lindsey’s warnings in Ted McDermott’s recent article should have been printed in bold. I recall that prior to the last federal raids there was a general “hope” in the medical marijuana industry that the feds would not prosecute state medical providers. Everyone was obviously wrong about that and a number of people are now guests of the government (in federal prison) because of that “hope.” With the exception of one technical dismissal, every single medical marijuana defendant in the last round of federal indictments was convicted.

In federal court it does not matter at all—not one iota—that a state provider is in compliance with Montana’s medical marijuana laws. In fact, if a state provider is federally prosecuted, evidence of compliance with state law won’t be admissible at trial.

This means a future federal jury would never hear about a state provider’s “careful records” and attempts to do things by the book state-side. Due to these evidentiary restrictions a state medicinal provider would be viewed by the federal jury simply as a drug dealer. Montana law will provide absolutely no defense in federal court and state providers indicted in the future will all be convicted and go to prison. While a sentencing judge may be somewhat sympathetic to a provider who truly cared about patients, that future judge’s hands will likely be tied by statutory mandatory minimum sentences.

Until Congress changes things you are literally risking years of your life (maybe most of it depending how much marijuana you are involved with) participating in the Montana medical marijuana industry. I can’t understand how people didn’t get the message from the last round of indictments. As such I offer everyone some free legal advice: Do

L

not dare the United States government, stay out of the medicinal marijuana world.

Peter Lacny Missoula

Essmann is wrong In case anyone took seriously the concerns of Jeff Essmann of Billings regarding LR 126, I’d like to point out the misinformation in his letter (see “Vote for LR 126,” Sept 18). He says: “In Missoula for part of the day, normally registered voters ...” as opposed to those registered in an abnormal way, “were forced to stand in line with same day voters ...” Actually, to register late, up to Election Day, one had to go to either the courthouse or the fairgrounds, not to the regular polling places.

“I offer everyone some free legal advice: Do not dare the United States government, stay out of the medicinal marijuana world.”

As for “the long lines and chaotic conditions ...”—chaotic? Sorry, that’s a stretch.

He continues that “some polling places...” (again only two potential polling places, not regular polling places) “have allowed some groups and candidates to hand out free food and drink to waiting voters...” Really? If this is true, which I doubt, I’d like to hear the details, which, Essman ominously intones, “comes very close to crossing the line prohibiting electioneering at the polls.”

Again, I’d love details on these “electioneering” incidents. Were they handing out coffee? Seems okay unless, was there Coffeemate and sugar? Kinda borderline, especially since they probably had to give out stir sticks, too. Still, it’s not like it was real half & half. What about doughnuts? I admit, it’s pretty easy to slip a bribe into a doughnut. I say we draw the line at doughnuts!

Sen. Essman, what do you think? Would you sponsor my no-pastry bill?

He goes on to paint a heart-rending picture of weary election officials up into the wee hours and so on. All because of those lazy losers who waited “until the last possible moment.” In other words, let’s disenfranchise all procrastinators!

In case you haven’t guessed by now, I strongly oppose LR 126. I believe everyone who wants to vote should be able to vote— even procrastinators.

Gwen McKenna Missoula

Another “No” vote Montana elections are something we should be proud of. We recognize the responsibility to ensure that all Montanans who want to participate in our democracy have the opportunity to do so. Pew Charitable Trust rated Montana’s elections system as 11th-best nationally based on our efficient elections. As one of the best elections systems in the world’s leading democracy we put an emphasis on guaranteeing honest, fair and accurate elections.

Part of this well-run process is Election Day voter registration. Election Day registration was passed by a bipartisan majority in our state legislature. It allows working Montanans to register and vote in one trip on Election Day. This ensures that recently returned veterans, seniors, and the disabled— among others—are able to exercise their right to vote. Over 28,000 eligible Montanans have used same-day registration to cast their ballots.

This November 4, our ballots will include legislative referendum LR 126. It seeks to get rid of Election Day voter registration.

In attempting to fix a system that isn’t broken it places unfair hurdles in front of Montanans’ freedom to vote. I urge you to help protect our great democracy.

Please join me and vote no on LR 126.

WEEK IN REVIEW

VIEWFINDER

by Cathrine L. Walters

Wednesday, September 17 A Missoula County sheriff’s deputy pulls over a speeding vehicle, finds the driver is three times above the legal limit for alcohol and arrests Randolph Louis Surges for his seventh DUI, which is a felony offense.

Thursday, September 18 Jeremy St. Goddard turns himself in to the Missoula County jail to face 12 charges related to his alleged harassment and sexual assault of nine women in Missoula between August 2013 and June of this year.

Friday, September 19 Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. announces its deal to purchase Mountain Water’s parent company, Park Water, from the Carlyle Group.

Missoula Mayor John Engen says the city remains committed to acquiring the utility.

Saturday, September 20 Three-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State proves too much for the visiting Grizzlies, as the Bison beat the University of Montana 22-10. NDSU runs for 280 yards and tallies 24 first downs in the victory, while the Griz only muster 68 and nine, respectively.

Sunday, September 21 Fire erupts in Upper Miller Creek and quickly spreads as crews from Missoula Rural Fire and the Montana Department of Natural Resources work to contain it. Officials believe an overheated chainsaw muffler sparked the blaze.

Monday, September 22 Judge Deborah Kim Christopher reduces the punitive damages award Hyundai owes to the families of cousins Trevor and Tanner Olson, who were killed in a July 2011 crash while driving a Tiburon. The car manufacturer now must pay $73 million instead of $240 million.

Tuesday, September 23 A woman reports that her husband accidentally shot himself in the chest while cleaning a revolver at their home on Graves Creek Road. The 42-year-old victim is taken to a hospital, where he’s declared dead.

Missoula Maze creator Earl Ellingson finds his way through stacks of straw bales that he designed using a Lego toy set. This is the sixth year Ellingson has built the labyrinth in a pasture behind Mountain View Elementary School.

Myanmar

Help from Missoula On a recent weekday afternoon, Missoula resident Glenn Wood passes an envelope to Cho Cho Lwin containing $1,500 in crisp new bills. Lwin, who works for an international education foundation called the Studer Trust, is bound for her home country of Myanmar in a few days. Once there she’ll use the money Wood and his wife Kathi have spent months raising from local donors to pay for a new boat for the Pauk Par preschool atop Inle Lake. The boat already has a name: Friendship Missoula.

“It’ll allow them to pick up, what, 15 additional students for this school,” Wood says, “and give them an education they probably wouldn’t get.”

Local awareness of and support for the Studer Trust has increased noticeably, Lwin says, in the wake of an Indy feature story on the organization earlier this year.

Students at Washington Middle School raised $1,000 to fund construction of two new toilets at one of the Studer Trust’s schools. The Woods met their boat fund goal mostly through small donations between $25 and $50.

And on Oct. 3, Holy Spirit Episcopal Church is hosting a fundraising banquet to provide $4,500 in scholarship money for six young girls in Myanmar.

[6] Missoula Independent • September 25–October 2, 2014

“They come from very poor families,” Lwin says.

“They live in the village, and I have known them for more than eight years. It will be good to support them because they are in grade 11, which is the crucial year for them, and the nationwide exam pass rate is 30 percent. Without extra tutor help, we are kind of worried that they won’t be able to make it.”

Holy Spirit has secured Missoula chef Ray Risho to prepare a variety of appetizers, entrees and desserts typical of the ethnic subgroups in and around Myanmar. Director of Spiritual Formation Gretchen Strohmaier says the church has sold 77 tickets so far at $40 a piece.

The money raised by Holy Spirit will cover not only the boarding school tuition for all six students but also the additional costs of school supplies and tutoring. That extra push may allow those girls to secure jobs after graduation or qualify for university-level education, Lwin says, helping lift them out of poverty. Unlike students in Burmese cities, students from small villages often face tougher odds in passing the government exams required to receive their diplomas.

“We don’t want them to be in this position,” Lwin says. “We want them to have the equal access like the other students are getting.”

Bullying

Former student files suit A former Big Sky High School student alleges Missoula County Public Schools administrators were negligent when they failed to protect her from a bully who “viciously assaulted” her on campus.

According to a lawsuit filed Sept. 15 in Missoula’s Fourth Judicial District Court, a female student allegedly grabbed Taylor Honabach by the hair and slammed her head against a door jam before throwing the 5-foot-tall Honabach to the ground and punching her in the face and chest. Honabach was a junior when the incident occurred in May 2012.

“Honabach suffered severe injuries, including whiplash, a fractured eye socket, and permanent loss of peripheral vision in her right eye,” the lawsuit claims.

Missoula Police Department Sergeant Travis Welsh confirms that law enforcement received a report of aggravated assault stemming from a May 25, 2012, incident at 3100 South Avenue West, which is Big Sky High.

“The case was eventually referred to youth court,” Welsh says.

Though the lawsuit identifies the alleged perpetrator, the Independent isn’t releasing her name because she was under 18 at the time of the incident.

[news] Honabach’s suit maintains that Big Sky administrators were aware the alleged assailant had been in physical altercations previously and claims that Honabach’s family complained to Big Sky administrators prior to the assault that students, including the perpetrator, were bullying Taylor. “(The) assault was not the first time Ms. Honabach had been a victim of violence at Big Sky,” the suit alleges.

Honabach transferred to another school for her senior year. She seeks a jury trial and damages.

MCPS spokeswoman Hatton Littman declined to comment on the specifics of the lawsuit, saying the district has yet to be served with Honabach’s complaint. She did note that the district regularly reviews its anti-bullying policies and students found to have violated them face disciplinary action up to expulsion.

“Missoula County Public Schools is committed to bullying prevention,” Littman says. “The district always follows through and investigates and remediates as necessary any issues that are reported by students, by parents, by faculty and by staff.”

such long-term contracts and are likely to take the brunt of the shortage.

“If you don’t have a malt contract, your pricing probably will go up,” Germershausen says.

Jim Lueders, owner of Wildwood Brewing, doesn’t have a long-term contract. His brewery is young and growing fast, he says, which makes it difficult to “know what our needs are going to be.” As a result, Lueders says he and other small brewers are especially vulnerable, because the price they pay for malt will go up more quickly than it will for large breweries with locked-in prices.

Breweries

Taking a hit In mid-August, a bumper crop of barley was ripening across Montana and Idaho. Just as farmers were poised to harvest it, however, a wave of heavy and consistent rains came, soaking the ripe barley plants and causing their kernels to germinate. Brewers need their barley to soak and germinate—but they rely on a highly refined process called “malting” to do it. When Mother Nature jumped the gun, it ruined much of this year’s barley crop for use in beer. That’s bad for many barley farmers, who will now have to sell much of what they harvest at a lower price for use as animal feed. It’s also bad for many brewers, who will now have to pay a higher premium to get a share of the smaller supply of malted barley.

“It’s just a very difficult time right now,” says Amy Germershausen, an account manager with Malteurop of North America, a global malt producer that owns and operates one of the nation’s largest malting facilities in Great Falls.

Just how difficult of a time brewers will have depends in large part on whether or not they had signed a contract securing a supply of—and a price for—malt before the crop turned bad. Among those that did so are Big Sky Brewing.

“We signed that contract around the first of the year, so our prices and supply were locked in long before this hit,” says Kevin Keeter, Big Sky’s purchasing manager.

Many smaller local breweries, however, do not have

Meanwhile, Lueders says small breweries will be reluctant to pass the increased cost onto consumers, because “you can’t go over a certain [price] threshold without you being basically priced out of the market, unless everybody else is doing it.” That might be good for beer buyers in the short term, but it could harm the viability of craft brewers.

“My prices on the wholesale or retail level won’t rise, probably, and I’ll be the one taking a hit on it,” Lueders says.

Hunger

UM pursues SNAP Debby Florence is a single mother who uses Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, also called food stamps, to buy groceries. While spending long days at the University of Montana working toward a master’s degree in social work, Florence realized that no retailers on campus accept SNAP benefits.

BY THE NUMBERS Total number of students attending the University of Montana this semester, marking a 3.9-percent decline from the same time last year. Despite the overall drop, UM notes that freshman class enrollment is up 6.4 percent.

13,952

“I don’t always have time to walk to Albertsons and back,” Florence says. “I have to leave, or I literally go hungry.”

Suspecting that she wasn’t the only one struggling with food insecurity on campus, Florence last spring joined a handful of other students and UM staffers and asked the University Center Market to begin accepting food stamps. As part of her effort to persuade market managers of the program’s importance to low-income students such as herself, she polled UM employees and students, asking about their experiences with SNAP. Florence, who incorporated the study into a class project, found that of 100 people polled, 15 were using SNAP benefits. “It’s not even just students—it’s also staff,” she says.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 128,531 Montanans were in the SNAP program last year. A family of two must earn less than $1,293 monthly to qualify.

There’s no comprehensive data to show how many college students struggle with food insecurity. An increasing body of anecdotal and numeric evidence, however, suggests that it is becoming a more pressing problem. A study conducted by Oregon State University researchers in 2011 found 59 percent of OSU students interviewed went hungry at some point the year prior.

“It’s a real issue on campus,” Florence says.

Data compiled by Florence encouraged UC Market managers to apply earlier this summer with the USDA to become SNAP-authorized retailers, says Eamon Fahey, a UC Market manager. But the store learned in August that, based on USDA guidelines, it didn’t qualify, Fahey says, “because we didn’t have enough meat product.”

Market managers are now in the process of identifying appropriate options to beef up the store’s meat options. Fahey says they’re looking at everything “from canned tuna to deli meats” before again seeking SNAP authorization, which could happen as early as this week.

If all goes as he hopes, the market could be accepting food stamps by the end of October.

ETC. A few weeks ago Yahoo News published a report on Ebola evacuations from West Africa to the United States, noting that four facilities are specially equipped with biocontainment units built in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control. At least three patients were flown to a facility in Atlanta, where the CDC is located. Another went to Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. The other two facilities, which have not received a patient? The National Institutes of Health in Maryland and St. Patrick Hospital, right here in Missoula.

Dr. George Risi is quick to quash any concerns about what our place on that short list could mean—and he’s one of the few people who can speak with confidence about the situation. The Missoula-based infectious disease specialist recently returned from a 20-day stint working in Sierra Leone, where he joined an intensive care nurse from St. Pat’s and three other physicians at a medical ward filled with an average of 90 Ebola patients each day. Risi speaks both candidly and calmly about the reality of the devastating outbreak, while also dispelling some of the hysteria inherent in media reports about the virus.

For starters, it’s unlikely any patients will be flown to Missoula. The St. Pat’s facility was built to serve those working with infectious diseases at Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton. And while the staff at St. Pat’s has been specially trained, Risi explains that any modern American hospital following standard infection control practices and isolation procedures could treat an Ebola patient.

“The mortality rate is not 100 percent, not by any means,” he says, “even though it’s a horrible disease and the death can be quite gruesome, especially in the fairly primitive circumstances that we were working in.”

Risi describes his time in Sierra Leone as daunting, but not without hope. In the morning, he’d put on a protective suit and meet with nurses to find out who had died overnight and who had been admitted. The doctors, who worked in a buddy system, then set to helping the sickest patients first. During breaks, he’d rehydrate, eat and wring out the sweat from his clothes and socks. “It was a very, very intense experience, as you can imagine,” he says, “with a lot of saves and a lot of heartbreak.”

Risi estimates his team saved “well over 50 percent” of the patients they treated. It’s a good feeling, but he says it’s a small contribution within the bigger picture.

“The situation, unfortunately, does not appear to be slowing down,” he says.

Passing the buck UM researcher investigates ethics of climate engineering

by Nate Hegyi

Wylie Carr’s house is in a state of disarray. Toys and clothes litter the floor. Food splats onto the carpet. His 2-year-old daughter, Lucy Carr, sits in the middle of all this chaos, her blue eyes wide.

“Airplane, airplane!” she says and grasps a toy jetliner.

“She’s been obsessed with airplanes,” Carr says and scoops her up. It’s no wonder—her father has traveled on planes a lot since she was born. He’s been to Kenya. To the Solomon Islands. To the northernmost point in Alaska.

was canceled, in part due to concerns over a lack of government oversight. That didn’t stop the push forward for more research.

Retired engineers from Silicon Valley, including one who invented inkjet printing, are currently designing small nozzles to spray sea water into the air. A four-day international summit on climate engineering was held this summer in Berlin and included speakers from Harvard University, the University of Oxford and the Environmental Defense Fund. Over the past decade, government organizations, private

UM doctoral student Wylie Carr is part of a research team collecting public opinion on the controversial idea of climate engineering. His travels have taken him to Kenya, the Solomon Islands and the northernmost point in Alaska.

Carr is a doctoral student at the University of Montana. His research takes him to places where the oceans are rising, the deserts are drying or the ice is melting.

Once there, he finds people working on climate change and shows them a short video.

Afterwards, he interviews them.

In the video, planes spread sulfite particles into the upper atmosphere, mimicking volcanoes and cooling the earth. Ships thicken up clouds by spraying salt water into the air. They are examples of climate engineering, also known as geoengineering, a controversial, futuristic way for humanity to artificially cool the planet.

“When you hear about it for the first time, it’s easy to dismiss it out of hand and say, ‘This is crazy,’” Carr says.

But it isn’t science fiction. In 2011, a group of British scientists planned a small, outdoor field test of climate engineering. It

institutions and wealthy individuals, including Bill Gates, have poured millions of dollars into modeling and research.

By the time Lucy is an adult, climate engineering could become a reality.

“It would give us the ability to intentionally manipulate the global climate,” Carr says. “We need to talk about it because the scale is enormous and because it’s not like consumer products where you can just opt out.”

For the past year and a half Carr’s traveled to vulnerable areas and gathered opinions on climate engineering. He’s currently analyzing the interviews and hopes to publish his findings next year. It’s the culmination of a UM project launched four years ago by professors Dane Scott, Laurie Yung and Christopher Preston exploring the ethics of climate engineering.

“A technology as powerful as geoengi-

neering is going to affect real people across the globe in many, many different ways,” Preston says. “Rather than a bunch of ethicists and white western universities deciding the rights and wrongs of geoengineering, we wanted to have some information about what vulnerable populations, people actually affected by climate change, thought of geoengineering, ethically.”

The professors needed a student who could interview subjects in vastly different regions about a controversial topic, and chose Carr.

Carr says he grew up in a moderately conservative, Christian family in Columbus, Ohio. As an undergraduate at the University of Virginia, he studied religion and drifted left. He traveled to Japan and spent a semester meditating in Buddhist monasteries. For his master’s thesis at UM he traveled to Dallas, Texas, and interviewed evangelists about climate change. He is a seeker. Insatiably curious.

“He’s such a hard worker and kind of a perfectionist,” his wife, Austen Carr, says. They’ve been together since they were undergraduates.

“The more he studies the more obviously concerned and convinced he gets. He reads a lot of stuff that’s frightening and depressing,” she says and pauses. “I know the situation is dire, I really do, but I cannot be worried and depressed on a daily basis.”

When Lucy was born, Carr says it changed everything—the way he thought about himself, his wife and about the world. He’s not an advocate for climate engineering—the only way to stop climate change is to reduce carbon emissions, he says, and putting sulfate aerosols in the atmosphere could overcool the tropics, undercool the arctic and alter rain patterns in some places, according to models by the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project. The results could benefit some places and devastate others.

“It terrifies me,” he says.

But he believes the public needs to know about it and discuss it. There may be a time in the future when the risks of climate change outweigh the risks of climate engineering, according to Carr.

“During my kid’s lifetime they’re going to be asking the question, ‘Do we do this or not?’” he says. He looks out the window to where Lucy and Austen play in the backyard under an overcast sky.

“We’re not taking responsibility for the problem we’re creating,” he continues.

“We’re passing the buck.” editor@missoulanews.com

[10] Missoula Independent • September 25–October 2, 2014

Like many Missoulians, I was alarmed to learn that Canadians had purchased our water supply. Last week, in the midst of the city’s condemnation attempt, Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. of Ontario agreed to buy Mountain Water from the Carlyle Group.

If the sale goes through, customers will receive bills with “sorry!” printed at the top and, as Canadian toxins accumulate in their bodies, slowly begin to enjoy Rush. More importantly, the city’s plan to purchase our water supply will hit another costly snag.

Lucky for me that few will remember when I used this space to say Missoula should buy Mountain Water. I was wrong.

I said the city should buy Mountain Water the way I sometimes blurt out “stop him!” while watching football: with little grasp of the difficulty involved. Missoula should own its water supply. The Carlyle Group should sell it at a fair price. And my aunt should have wheels, because then she’d be a wagon.

Meanwhile, in the realm of the actual, our city and its attorneys seem badly overmatched. Earlier this month, the Missoulian reported that the city had already exceeded its estimate of $400,000 in legal and consultant fees for the condemnation and purchase process—months before the eminent domain case against Carlyle is even scheduled for trial.

In some ways, that’s not Mayor John Engen’s fault. The Carlyle Group has proven a vigorous litigant, arguing in court that it was not the actual owner of Mountain Water and drawing the Montana Public Service Commission into the fight.

A judge rejected both these strategies, but Carlyle Group accomplished its objective: a few months into this process, the city has already spent more money than it ever expected to. It’s conceivable that this new sale agreement won’t complicate the process, but it’s certain not to make things simpler.

Just maybe, the multinational private

equity firm has better lawyers than we do. It certainly has more money: last year, Carlyle reported revenues of nearly $4.5 billion on $35 billion in assets. It probably doesn’t want to spend all of that to keep Mountain Water.

But the city has gotten into a high-stakes game against an aggressive bluffer with many, many more chips.

So far, our foray into this contest has cost about $5 for every resident of Missoula.

“In the contest between picturesque mountain towns and multinational corporations, sometimes the bad guys win.”

Four hundred grand is a lot of money, but it is not yet a boondoggle. The city could walk away from its condemnation claim right now, or just pursue it with minimal resources and low expectation of success.

That would hurt. But we might content ourselves to know that we took our chance and suffered no worse than injured pride and enriched lawyers. To continue our poker analogy, we already lost what we brought to the table. The only good play that remains is to not buy in again.

But then how would we win? How can Mayor Engen defeat the evil Carlyle Group and its hideously courteous Canadian allies if he doesn’t come back to the table with a fresh stack of chips?

The answer is that we probably can’t. In the contest between picturesque mountain towns and multinational corporations, sometimes the bad guys win. It’s our water: the pipes are buried beneath our city, and we drink what comes out of them. But it’s not our court system or our economy. The future of Mountain Water is not a question of what’s right, but rather of what can be done.

What Carlyle can do is throw money at the problem. Through the magic of litigation, it can dispute its ownership of the very asset it is trying to keep while simultaneously offering to sell it to someone else. Carlyle has the resources and expertise to turn Mountain Water into a money fight, and it will do so for the same reason that Russia welcomes invasion in late fall.

What the city of Missoula can do is be honest with itself. It lost its gambling money, and now it can quit before it loses the rent, too. By accepting defeat, Engen can help himself and the people he leads. It’s not a bad decision he made six months ago; it’s a good decision he has the opportunity to make now.

The game has changed. Our opponents have proven more skillful than we expected, and the money we need to keep playing is more than we ever thought we would spend.

The average person would buy in again and redouble his pursuit. That’s why the average person is broke.

I don’t like to depend on Canadians for water, and I certainly don’t like to admit that I was wrong. I can only imagine how Mayor Engen feels in this situation, with his larger and more circumspect audience. Fortunately for me and everyone else in this town, he is too smart to be led around by his pride.

Treaty trumps all Northwest coal-to-China port hits a major snag

by Paul VanDevelder

In 1832, when Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall was pondering the fate of Baptist missionary Samuel Worcester, who’d been jailed by Georgia state militia for preaching the Christian gospel to Cherokee Indians, little did Marshall know that his ruling would one day reroute rivers, legalize hundreds of Indian casinos from coast to coast and derail a $242 million coal-to-China project on the Columbia River in the 21st century.

Worcester had been jailed for challenging Georgia authorities with a question that went to the heart of the conflict between states and the federal government. He dared to ask: Are treaties with Indian tribes the “supreme law of the land?” If so, how could the governor of a state deny Worcester’s right to preach to the Indians?

Justice Marshall, as they like to say in Indian Country, was a man with “long eyes.”

Daniel Webster once quipped that Marshall’s brain could sever any legal knot it encountered, and the knot presented by Worcester v. Georgia had been vexing the chief justice for three decades.

He, more clearly than anyone in early America, realized that the founders left a gaping hole in the U.S. Constitution when they neglected to address the role of sovereign Native American governments in the scheme of federalism. Worcester, at last, was the right case to patch that hole. If he could make the patch stick and give it some elasticity, this case would have profound implications in years to come for the rapidly evolving, semiUnited, States of America.

Eventually, Marshall’s distant future became our present. This September, when the Oregon Department of State Lands denied a dock permit to Ambre Energy, an Australian company, Marshall’s federalism patch not only stretched in every direction, it held firm.

Ambre had been hoping to build a new coal port near the town of Umatilla to export 8.8 million tons of coal annually to China. But its ambitious plans posed a clear and present threat to recovery efforts for endangered salmon in critical Columbia River habitat

protected by treaties with Columbia River tribes. Therein lay the reeds of contention.

“Salmon tribes” in the Pacific Northwest were united in opposition to the deal, and that trumped all of Ambre Energy’s rhetoric about creating jobs and future profits. What John Marshall made inviolate in Worcester v.

Georgia was this: In any contest between treaty rights and states’ rights, treaty rights must prevail.

The Oregon Department of Lands did not cite Worcester v. Georgia in rejecting the coal-port proposal, but Marshall’s ghost was present in the room when the decision was

“The effort to ship coal out of Northwest ports was born out of hubris and miscalculation.”

announced. As Marshall told the Georgia governor who ordered Samuel Worcester’s arrest 182 years ago for preaching to the Indians, sovereign-to-sovereign negotiations are protected by Article VI, Clause 2, of the Constitution, as “the supreme law of the land.”

Therefore, no state or corporate power has the legal authority to violate provisions of treaty agreements once the agreements have been ratified by the federal government.

The effort to ship coal out of Northwest ports was born out of hubris and miscalculation. Company attorneys either ignored, or misjudged, the long shadow of Worcester.

Preferring to go mano-a-mano with environ-

mental organizations, they suddenly found themselves face-to-face with treaty tribes.

After reading more than 20,000 public comments and carefully analyzing technical documents, the Oregon Department of Lands announced that its decision to kill the project “at the Coyote Island Terminal ... is the right one.” And treaty rights played a pivotal role in the outcome of this contest.

The state’s decision sent shock waves through the industry. Coal producers had launched their coal-to-China campaign with seven likely ports on the West Coast, and to paraphrase Mark Twain, the industry approached the deal “with the calm confidence of a Christian holding four aces.”

Now, the coal companies are down to two choices—the Gateway Pacific Terminal at Cherry Point, north of Bellingham, Wash., and the Millennium Terminal at Longview, Wash.—and suddenly, 19th century energy solutions are faced with daunting legal and public relations challenges in the 21st. Rep. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle, summarized the emerging politics of coal: “You can’t privatize benefits (for the coal industry) and socialize the costs (pollution, climate change, and an extinct fishery).”

The media summed up the decision as “Coal-to-China project gets nixed.” But a more accurate storyline might have read: “Treaty rights prevail, tribal sovereignty honored in coal port decision.”

Of course, no one in the media mentioned John Marshall, or Worcester v. Georgia, or the long-standing sanctity of the trust relationships between Indian nations and the federal government. People seldom do.

But Marshall was there in the shadows, a faint smile bracketing his piercing black eyes.

CURSES, FOILED AGAIN - Bradley Hardison, 24, managed to elude authorities for nearly nine months before they nabbed him after a local paper published his photo for winning a doughnut-eating contest at a police anti-crime event in Elizabeth City, N.C. “I was pissed because it’s like throwing it in our face,” Camden County sheriff’s Lt. Max Robeson said after he read the article, which led investigators to Hardison.

(Hampton Roads, Va.’s WTKR-TV) Seattle police arrested a 40-year-old suspect who showed what looked like a gun (but turned out to be a flashlight) at a restaurant and demanded cash from the register. Employees refused and told the robber to take the tip jar instead. He did, collecting about $15, and then demanded money from several customers.

They declined. He tried to leave by kicking down a side door, only to bounce backward onto the floor when it wouldn’t open. He found another exit and tried to grab a woman’s car keys in the parking lot but fled after the victim took his photo with her cellphone. He tried to steal another car at a gas station, but the driver wouldn’t hand over his keys. He did offer the suspect a ride. Instead, the suspect used the tip money to buy a beverage at the gas station and was drinking it when police arrived and took him to the King County Jail. (Seattle Police Department)

INDOCTRINATION NATION - Chinese students applying to U.S. universities will be expected to learn the values of “freedom, justice and human dignity” while studying for their SAT entrance exam. The College Board’s amended syllabus for the test requires applicants to read passages from the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the writings of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Mohandas Gandhi, Henry David Thoreau and Elizabeth Cady Stanton as “a way to develop valuable college and career readiness skills.” China’s official Xinhua News Agency declared the reforms amount to “ideology intrusion,” although SAT coach Kelly Yang wrote in Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post newspaper, “If the new SAT succeeded, it will be the first time America is able to systematically shape the news, beliefs and ideologies of hundreds of thousands of Chinese students every year … through what the Chinese care about most — exams.” Beijing resident and Ohio State University student Tang Anran said the few months of preparation for the SAT wouldn’t brainwash applicants, explaining, “We learn knowledge for the exam, and after that, we forget it.” (The Washington Post) REAL REALITY - Police shot and killed a crew member of the television show “Cops” while trying to stop a robbery at a Wendy’s restaurant in Omaha, Neb. Police gunfire struck the suspect, Cortez Washington, 32, but he fled the restaurant and officers continued firing, killing the suspect and Bryce Dion, 38, described by his production company as “a long-term member of the ‘Cops’ team.” (Associated Press) DRINKING-CLASS HEROES - The National Institutes of Health is spending $3.2 million to get monkeys drunk so scientists can determine alcohol’s long-term effects on their bodies and $69,459 to study whether text messaging college students before they attend pre-football game tailgate parties will encourage them to drink less and “reduce harmful effects related to alcohol consumption.” Previous NIH research projects into the effects of alcohol involved spending $835,571 to develop a flight simulator to show pilots what flying drunk feels like and $154,000 to determine if excess drinking causes gamblers to lose more money.

“We don’t need a study to tell Americans that gambling while drunk is a bad idea,” David Williams, president of the think-tank Taxpayers Protection Alliance, said, “as anyone who has ever sat next to a drunk guy at a blackjack table can attest.” (The Washington Times) SECOND-AMENDMENT FOLLIES - Sixth-grade teacher Michelle Ferguson-Montgomery was seriously wounded when the concealed firearm she was carrying accidentally discharged in the faculty bathroom of an elementary school in Taylorsville, Utah. Investigators said the bullet struck a toilet, causing it to explode and send bullet and toilet fragments into her lower leg. (Associated Press) Quick thinking by an 11-year-old boy in Harris County, Texas, saved the life of his 5-year-old brother who shot himself in the chin while the two were hunting near their home. The older boy drove the wounded child to a neighbor, who called for medical help. Sheriff’s investigators were unable to explain why the boys had access to a gun and a car. (Houston’s KHOU-TV)

PICKY EATERS - Indonesian police arrested Heather Mack, 19, after her mother was found bludgeoned to death in a Bali hotel room, along with her boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, 21. When Mack complained about the meals, police bought them KFC fried chicken, prompting them to accuse police of racist stereotyping. Bali police said the allegation of racism surprised them, since few Indonesians can even afford a KFC meal, so they switched the two prisoners to food from McDonald’s. (USA Today) Burger King announced it’s dropping its lower-calorie fries, dubbed “Satisfries,” due to consumer indifference and confusion. The move comes less than a year after Satisfries were introduced. The fries, which use a different type of batter to prevent absorbing oil during preparation, cost more than Burger King’s regular fries.

What’s more, a small order contains 270 calories, whereas small fries at McDonald’s have 230 calories because the order is smaller, although Burger King didn’t make that distinction clear to customers. (Associated Press)

NO REPRESENTATION, NO RESPECT - After Transportation Security Administration agents at several U.S. airports refused to accept driver’s licenses issued by the District of Columbia because it isn’t a state, a new smartphone app designed to ease ordering a pizza wouldn’t recognize Washington addresses, declaring, “DC is not a valid state.” The app’s founders, all New York City residents, notified users, “Instead of DC, put in VA and your correct zip code!!!” (The Washington Post) STOP THE MUSIC - Music publishers have started denying use of their music to the world famous Ohio State University Marching Band after the school fired band director Jonathan Waters. The firing resulted from an investigation that alleged he failed to eliminate the band’s “sexualized culture.” Mark Greenburg of Tresona Multimedia said publishers are distancing themselves from the university because they don’t want their music associated with the investigation’s unflattering assessment. Greenburg said the report could affect football halftime shows this season and potentially tarnish the reputation of the Best Damn Band in The Land inside the music industry. (Columbus’s WCMH-TV)

Y

ou’ve probably seen her before. Captured in grainy 16mm Kodachrome color film, she walks upstream along a sandbar on the opposite edge of a creek. It’s an easy gait, brisk yet casual. Her knees are bent; her elongated arms swing freely at her sides. In a moment suspended in time, she glances back. Large eyes. Flat nose. Well-muscled back, buttocks and thighs. A large pair of conspicuous breasts dangle from her chest like sandbags.

She’s big—7 feet and 3 inches tall, some say, and 700 or more pounds. She’s almost entirely covered in dark brown hair.

[14] Missoula Independent • September 25–October 2, 2014

To skeptics, she’s just a hoax, an impostor in an ape suit. But to any Bigfoot investigator worth his salt, she’s “Patty.”

This iconic footage, known as the Patterson-Gimlin film, is widely considered the gold standard by which every other piece of Bigfoot evidence is weighed. Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman, who runs the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine, likens the footage to the Zapruder film of John F. Kennedy’s assassination. It’s the best and most controversial proof there is that large and elusive apelike hominoids roam the North American backwoods, and have since antiquity. For

Bigfoot believers, the comparison couldn’t be more apt.

No one appreciates this more than Bob Gimlin, an 82-year-old horse handler from Yakima, Wash.—the surviving half of the film’s namesake. When we meet at a diner in Union Gap, he says he’s got “a little gift” for me out in his truck. After rummaging through his black Escalade pickup, he hands me a batteries-not-included “Sasqwatch” that he personally autographed the night before.

“That’s a signed Bob Gimlin case right there!” he says, smiling.

Gimlin’s a small, wiry old cowboy with an elfin grin tucked under a sparse

handlebar mustache. He rolls into Shari’s Cafe and Pies, his favorite local spot, in a cream-colored cowboy hat, mahogany leather boots and an Ellensburg blue agate stone on his left-hand ring finger. He orders peach ice tea and when I ask him how he is, he points to his left shoulder.

He got bucked off a mule a few weeks back, and now his left arm is about as strong and useful as silly putty.

The course of Gimlin’s life changed dramatically on Oct. 20, 1967: He and his old friend Roger Patterson spotted Patty (named after Roger’s wife) lumbering along Bluff Creek in Northern California.

They’d come to California from Yakima

The iconic image of “Patty” was captured Oct. 20, 1967, by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin in Northern California. Gimlin’s neighbor claimed he wore an ape suit for the shot, but Bigfoot believers consider it the gold standard by which every other piece of evidence is weighed.

with two saddle horses, a pack horse and a rented Kodak K-100 hand-held camera after Patterson, a longtime Bigfoot enthusiast, caught wind of some giant footprints in the mountains 35 miles from the town of Willow Creek.

Gimlin didn’t expect the ensuing hubbub, or that nearly half a century later, the film would still be a subject of intense study and debate in certain circles. Scientists from as far as Russia and London have examined the film and verified its authenticity. Yet his own neighbor down the street has gone on the record claiming that he was the man in the ape suit.

For Bigfoot believers like Gimlin, the enigmatic ape is just another rare and endangered species that hasn’t officially been “discovered.” And while almost every corner of land on Earth has been explored, they’ll often point out that the mountain gorilla was considered a myth until one was shot and killed on an expedition through Central Africa’s Verunga Mountains in 1902. Even Jane Goodall has admitted her fascination with the humanoid cryptid, telling a public radio reporter 12 years ago, “I’m sure that they exist.”

Forty-seven years since the PattersonGimlin film’s debut, the search for Sasquatch is as intense as ever. Jeff Meldrum, an anatomy and anthropology professor at Idaho State University—and one of the few academics publicly convinced by the body of Bigfoot evidence—is currently conducting his own DNA study of

supposed Sasquatch hair samples. He’s also involved with the Falcon Project, a $500,000 initiative to send an unmanned aircraft system, equipped with thermal imaging and high-definition video cameras, to search for Bigfoot above the treetops.

The mission, he says, will likely launch within a year.

But any “Bigfooter” will tell you that this relentless quest for the creature demands a heavy price. For years, Gimlin wouldn’t tell his story. The public scrutiny was too much; the ridicule was unbearable. His wife threatened to leave him many, many times. And he was bitter. Patterson cheated Gimlin out of the rights to the film, traveled around the country with it and made a whole bunch of money through movie ticket sales of BIGFOOT: America’s Abominable Snowman! Gimlin never saw a cent. Now, within the passionate Bigfooter community, Gimlin has become a celebrity in his own right.

“I don’t hold no regrets now,” he says.

“We’ve got the evidence now, the sightings. Thousands of people can’t be wrong when they say they’ve seen ’em.”

T

he legend of Sasquatch dates back to Native American oral traditions. The name “Sasquatch,” in fact, is derived from

the Halkomelem Indian word sásq’ets.

Even before 19th century newspaper reporters described sightings of “wild men” in the woods—Teddy Roosevelt once wrote about a bipedal “beast creature” who killed a trapper in the Bitterroot Mountains—Native people passed down their own stories of hairy giants wandering the wilderness.

The Spokanes called Bigfoot s’cwene’y’ti (“Tall, hairy, smells like burnt hair”). The Wenatchi called them choanito (“night people”). The Sasquatch is skanicum— “stick Indian”—on Colville lands and ohmah—“boss of the woods”—among the Huppa in Northern California. To the Yakama, he’s qah-lin-me—one of his “hairy brothers.” He’s the yeti in the Himalaya, the yowie in Australia and the yeren in the Hubei province in China.

Idaho State’s Meldrum hypothesizes that Bigfoot is a relative of the genus Gigantopithecus, a 10-foot-tall prehistoric ape that roamed modern-day China, Vietnam and India more than one million years ago.

Ever since the release of the Patterson-Gimlin film, Bigfoot has catapulted into popular culture. His hulking visage has appeared in dozens of movies, television shows, documentaries, ad campaigns and even porny Kindle e-books. ( Virginia Wade’s Moan for Big foot has been downloaded more than 100,000 times on Amazon.) Coleman, the cryptozoologist, credits the 1972 Bigfoot horror docud-

rama The Legend of Boggy Creek with inspiring today’s generation of Bigfoot hunters. In 1987, John Lithgow starred alongside Sasquatch in the box office hit Harry and the Hendersons. In 2011, Animal Planet’s documentary series “Finding Bigfoot” aired. Its second season premiere drew 1.6 million viewers.

Back at the diner, when I ask Gimlin who the top Bigfoot researcher in the northwest is, he says one name without

missing a beat: “Mel Skahan is, as far as I’m concerned, the best there is.”

A forestry technician for the Yakama Nation, Skahan’s 47 and stocky with a shaved head and, on his calf, a recently acquired tattoo of a Sasquatch peeking behind a pine tree. When we meet on the reservation on a hot Friday morning, he’s got his 12-year-old tag-along partner, Fayedawn, in tow and a jam-packed schedule planned for the day: a five-hour tour of his past Bigfoot encounters around the 1.2-million-acre Yakama reservation and a visit to his semi-regular radio show, “Beast Mode,” where he and two other Bigfoot enthusiasts talk Sasquatch lore and take questions from listeners.

“They’re people just like us, humans just like us,” Skahan explains from behind the wheel of his Honda Pilot as we drive along Signal Peak Highway. “They just choose not to be part of this.”

Skahan wasn’t always a believer. But then, in the winter of 1999, he saw his first set of tracks while out on the job, measuring timber plots of Douglas and grand firs near the Toppenish Creek drainage. The footprints were 22 inches in length, longer than his own snowshoes, and the strides at least 5 feet. The toe prints were as big as a deck of cards. He and one of his coworkers followed the tracks for three hours. They came upon a second and a third set of footprints: one was 18 inches long, the other between 8 and 9 inches. “It was mind-boggling,” he says. It made the tiny hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

Nine years ago, he had his first—and last—sighting, again on the job, when he says he spotted a Bigfoot beyond a slash pile 170 feet away. It was large, black and glistening, running with its arms straight along its sides, faster than anything he’d ever seen before. He’s also heard Bigfoot vocalizations—screams, howls and growls. He’s had rocks thrown at him. He

says he once came close enough to smell their putrid body odor.

We stop the car in the forest where Skahan had his sighting and he mimics a Bigfoot location call for me. “I need my water because this one hurts,” he says. He cups his hands around his mouth and makes three high-pitched calls.

Whooop! Whooop! Whooooooop!

We wait for a moment in silence when, suddenly, we hear a loud bellowing in the distance. Fayedawn stops pecking

things they’d seen, and he’d chase every report of a possible Bigfoot encounter on every corner of the reservation, hoping for a photograph or a video. He appeared on TV shows and national radio programs.

He did talks at schools, museums and summer camps. He invested $25,000 of his own money into tracking equipment, like his thermal camera, and research expeditions. He auditioned for Animal Planet’s “Finding Bigfoot.” Skahan spent so many weekends in the woods with

on her cellphone, and the two of us exchange looks, mouths agape.

Skahan smiles.

“That’s a cow,” he whispers. And sure enough, five cattle emerge from the woods.

There was a time five or six years ago when Skahan would get calls from his neighbors and coworkers, asking him to look into strange sounds they’d heard or

other big-name Bigfoot investigators, he grew distant from his kids. His wife eventually left him.

Skahan remembered something a former reservation Sasquatch researcher had warned him about: “You’re not going to like where it’s going to take you.” He didn’t know what that meant at the time.

“I was out being a rock star and just living the outdoor Sasquatch-research

lifestyle. Then it dawned on me: What’s going to happen [to them]?” he says. If the rest of the world got their hands on his research, knew what he knew about Bigfoot, would they drive these creatures off the reservation, or worse, into extinction?

kahan invites me to go on an overnight Bigfoot expedition with him and some of his Bigfooter friends on the Olympic Peninsula the following weekend—as long as I promise not to reveal the location of the campsite in this story. Late Saturday afternoon, he texts me cryptic directions as I drive down a winding, twolane highway. They go something like this: Pass mile marker X and turn right at the next dirt road into the woods. Make a left at the tree with the “Y” painted on its trunk and go past a Z-colored ribbon tethered to a branch. The opening to the campground is a quarter mile away on the right.

By the time I arrive, a dozen other people have already pitched their tents in the wooded area around a gravel lot and are reclining in lawn chairs beneath an open-sided tent, swapping stories over a Tupperware box of cookies. They’re mostly white, middle-aged outdoorsy types with kids—and day jobs. For that reason, they ask me not to include their full names. Among them, there are two engineers, one high school vice principal, an archaeologist, an IT analyst, a construction subcontractor and a Department of Natural Resources forest enforcer.

About half are current or former members of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, or BFRO, the self-described “only scientific research organization exploring the bigfoot/sasquatch mystery.”

The group has gained some celebrity in recent years thanks to “Finding Bigfoot,” which stars BFRO founder Matt Moneymaker and his quirky team of field researchers, investigating sightings of the hairy cryptid (see sidebar).

One of the campers, Scott Taylor, a Boeing engineer from Spanaway in a camouflage hat and “WATCH FOR SQUATCH” T-shirt, says the BFRO has collected more than 45,000 reports from people who either saw something, heard something or think they did. The BFRO’s online database includes reported sightings from every state but Hawaii, every Canadian province and a handful of Eastern Hemisphere nations. Washington is the undisputed hub of Bigfoot activity with 585 listings on the database. In his eight years as a volunteer investigator for the BFRO, Taylor says he’s personally looked into 136 of them.

Many of the campers here say that like Skahan, their fascination with Bigfoot began with an otherwise inexplicable encounter. A woman named Laura tells me she had her first sighting in 2004, while she and her husband were caving at Mount Adams. She remembers walking all

Bigfoot’s existence, but in the age of Photoshop and digital editing, he admits that’s an almost impossible undertaking.

alone down an abandoned forest road when she heard something scampering behind her. She turned around and there it was, in the distance, crossing the road.

She says she realized it wasn’t human when she noticed its hands hanging all the way down to its knees.

“It upset my whole worldview,” she says. “I tried to go to sleep that night and the world wasn’t the same place. I thought, ‘If this exists, then what else exists?’ My God.” She kept quiet about it for six years— she didn’t even tell her husband because she was worried he would have her “locked up”—until she couldn’t keep ignoring what she had seen any longer.

That’s how she met Taylor, when she filed a report with the BFRO. They talked on the phone for an hour.

“It was an incredible relief,” she says, “for him to say, ‘You’re not crazy.’”

H

ere’s what I learn from these Bigfooters in the next 24 hours: Never hold a staring contest with a Sasquatch. Keep any white lights turned off and stowed away. They’re preternaturally strong, fast and clever. They have a penchant for chucking giant rocks at people when they’re feeling threatened. They can swim 100 yards without coming up for air. They prey on deer. They fish for salmon. They like peanut butter sandwiches. If you set out a snack for them on a picnic table or back porch, like a bag of apples or watermelon rind, they might leave you a gift in its place—a pile of stones or feathers or 10 dead field mice wrapped in leaves of grass.

The females secrete a pleasant, cinnamony odor. The males, according to Taylor, reek of “dead dog, B.O., urine and garbage— mixed together and set on fire.” They mi-

grate with their food supply. Like cats, their eyes glow in the dark.

They even have their own spoken language. Taylor fetches his laptop to show us some audio of the “Sierra Sounds,” alleged Bigfoot “chatter” recorded in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains in the 1970s.

“They sound like Oriental samurai,” a woman in bright pink lipstick and track pants leans over and tells me. Taylor plays the recording. For the next 10 minutes, we listen to a series of low-pitched snorts, grunts, wails and rapid-fire gibberish.

They’re also creatures of tremendous contradictions. Despite their enormous mass, they can weave through the tree line undetected. Despite their super-powered strength, they’re quickly scared off by bright lights. Despite their apparent interest in humans, it seems they’d rather not be found out. “They have a real aversion to video cameras,” one woman tells me.

“I don’t know how,” she says. “As soon as you have a video camera on, they’re gone.

It’s really interesting. How do they know that it’s there?”

And despite countless eyewitness accounts, no Bigfoot body has ever been discovered. A Bigfoot has never been hit by a semi or shot by a hunter’s wayward bullet. There are no bones, no carrion, no fossil record, let alone any Bigfoot-sized scat.

“It really comes down to a very simple principle. In science and in biology, if you want to name a new species, you have to have a ‘type specimen,’” says science historian Michael Shermer, founder of the Skeptics Society, an organization dedicated to rooting out fringe and pseudoscientific beliefs. “Not footprints, not grainy videos and definitely not stories of things that go bump in the night. You have to have an actual body. That’s how it works. ... Without an actual specimen, it just doesn’t count.”

This dilemma isn’t lost on Bigfoot researchers, and there’s debate on this point

among the community, separating the Sasquatch “hunters” from the “seekers.”

The late Grover Krantz, an anthropology professor at Washington State University and the first academic to seriously study the Bigfoot question, advocated killing a specimen—an idea that doesn’t sit well with any of the Bigfooters I’ve met. In fact, in 1969, Skamania County, in Western Washington, became the first in the country to pass an ordinance prohibiting “any willful, wanton slaying of such creatures”— a felony punishable by five years in prison.

The law was amended in 1984, making Skamania County an official “Sasquatch Refuge” and the crime of killing a Bigfoot a one-year, jail-time offense. (The law even forbids an accused Sasquatch killer from claiming insanity in his defense.)

Taylor says the BFRO is looking for “irrefutable video or photographs” to prove

till, Bigfoot investigators argue that the evidence weighs heavily on their side. Paul Graves, an investigator in Wenatchee, certainly thinks so, and he’s eager to show me his findings when I visit his house on a Thursday afternoon.

Graves is a concrete contractor, musician and investigator for a Bigfoot research group called the Olympic Project. (It’s funded in part by a Nevada multimillionaire named Wally Hersom, who outfitted members with more than 100 top-of-theline infrared game cameras.) Graves, who is 53, lanky, blond and pale with soft blue eyes, calls himself a “citizen scientist,” and he’s been collecting Bigfoot stories all over the region for the past 25 years.

He’s amassed some 360 reports, which he’s handwritten and filed in composition notebooks and manila folders. His notes include observations like, “Saw Sasquatch near German Creek outside Longview Washington ... The one he saw had rounder head.”

Graves learned how to interview people from his mother, a former Wenatchee World newspaper reporter. Whenever he’d go out to grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, he’d go up to folks and ask, “Have you ever seen a Bigfoot or heard of one?”

“I sometimes equate it to cancer research,” he says of his work. “You see, we’re working on a problem just like cancer; Bigfoot research. We put a lot into it, but we still don’t have the answer. Just because we don’t have the answer doesn’t mean that it’s not real.”

His basement office is a shrine to both of his passions—Sasquatch and music. On one side of the room he’s got guitars and camping gear; on the other side, he has his

own personal museum of Bigfoot memorabilia and artifacts: dozens of plaster casts, books, photographs, posters and knickknacks. He has two of the same autographed pictures of Bob Gimlin posing in his trademark cowboy hat against a Bluff Creek National Forest sign. He gives me one of his CDs, an eight-track album of original Sasquatch Songs. His acoustic guitar ballad “Bigfoot and Butterflies” includes lyrics like, “One’s so big, he’s the king of the hill./ The other’s so fragile, she’s the queen of the mill./ Together they’re like the keepers of the land./ Watching over everything with a soft hand.”

In his fridge, he’s got what he says may be a tuft of Bigfoot fur. He pulls it out of an envelope lying next to a big box of Northwest ground beef. It’s a matted lump of straight brown hair, curiously squareshaped and reeking of fish food.

In 2010, Graves captured what he says is one of his most compelling, “blow your mind” pieces of evidence. He was hired by “Finding Bigfoot” for an episode recreating the Patterson-Gimlin film.

While he was hiking in the woods near the Bluff Creek drainage, he says he recorded a video, with a small contour camera on his back, showing a Bigfoot running at extraordinary speed between a set of trees.

“They just glide, just like this,” he says, moving his hand back and forth. “Like a ghost, like a ninja. It’s moving so fast you can’t even see it hardly in the film. When you slow it down, oh my gosh, there it is.”

We gather around his computer and he presses play. About four minutes in, a dark, unidentifiable blur shivers between the trees.

Graves believes this patch of fur may have come from a Bigfoot.

“Weird, huh?” he says. “That something could move that fast.”

“N

ow watch this,” says Dave, the archaeologist, handing me his night-vision monocular back at the Bigfooters’ campsite.

“It’s infrared light. So if you look at it with your naked eye, you can’t see anything, right?”

No, you can’t. But through the scope of his night vision, the world is green and

radiant, surrounded on all sides by coniferous trees scraping the sky. It’s 10 until 10 and we’ve just set off from the trailhead and into the inky darkness. We’ve split off into two groups—Taylor leads mine—and we tromp along the hiking path, guided only by shadows, starlight and Taylor’s red-light headlamp, stopping briefly a few times to listen for rustling in the underbrush. About 40 minutes in, we reach the end of the trail.

“Let’s stop the lights and stand here about 10 or 15 minutes,” Taylor says.

Laura adjusts her “Super Ear” sound enhancer and Taylor sneaks off to take a whiz. I ask Skahan if he’ll do a howl.

“I’ll call in more cows!” he says. But he takes a deep breath anyway and Taylor radios the other group.

Woahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Skahan’s got a reputation for being the best howler in the group (“I’m not even Obi-Wan to Mel’s Yoda,” one camper tells me), and it’s obvious why. His howl is a long, deep, sonorous baritone, his pitch perfectly steady. It echoes throughout the forest.

Skahan howls again and we wait in total silence. Beyond the woods, you can hear the whooshing waves of the Pacific Ocean and the soft trickling of a nearby

culvert. A foghorn blows in the distance.

A twig snaps. Six minutes go by. Nothing.

“Well, I’m gonna call it,” Laura whispers. “They’re not much for knocking out here—are they, Scott?”

“No, not really.”

“How about rock clacking?”

“Hmm,” he pauses. “No, not really that much either.”

“Maybe they all went down to get some seafood.”

Taylor chuckles. “Maybe they’re back terrorizing base camp.”

We wait another three minutes before heading back down the trail to turn in for the night. And no, there’s no Bigfoot at base camp either. The guys get a crackling fire going and I stumble off to my tent.

The next morning, there’s no Bigfoot activity to report, and the overwhelming consensus is that one weekend in the woods is far too short to expect anything.

“They can’t stay in one place permanently,” Taylor explains.

“They could be just up the road at West Twin or the Lyre River,” another says.

“Especially if there’s salmon coming in.”

“Can we come back in two weeks?”

After breakfast, we say our goodbyes and I make the long, six-and-a-half-hour drive home. We didn’t find Bigfoot last night, but I think I stumbled on something else. And more than I ever would have imagined, I want to come back, too. editor@missoulanews.com

Fire in the belly The Texas Playgirl gets her entertainment thrills in Montana

by Sarah Aswell

photo by Cathrine L. Walters

K

imberlee Carlson is baffled by LinkedIn. The social media website gives users a single line to describe your career—and one line isn’t nearly enough.

“I think I settled on ‘writing professional,’” she says, “though that doesn’t quite describe what I do.”

That’s an understatement. If LinkedIn gave Carlson the room, the list would look something like this: professional dancer, food stylist, former Playboy bunny, jazz musician, country singer, television producer, Feldenkrais movement therapist, cookbook author, salsa teacher, photographer and festival organizer. And that’s just an outline. The seemingly scattered collection of jobs she’s taken across the country mostly do fall under one theme, however: entertainment. And while a lot has changed in her life over the last four decades—most notably, moving from the entertainment hubs of Los Angeles and New York City to Missoula—her interest in entertaining others has never wavered.

Carlson’s personality matches her résumé. The 56-year-old, with shocks of black and white hair falling around her face, seems to be in restless pur-

suit of new activities. As she doodles in a notebook, she speaks in tangents about her life of art, music, hustling and gigs. Her newest project is a genrebending album called She’ll Get You, which she’s releasing this week with local musician Louie Bond.

The act, called Louie Bond and the Texas Playgirl, includes original tracks and standards that blend country, swing and jazz.

Carlson’s interest in jazz came to her in a roundabout way. She moved from her home state of Texas to California at age 18 and took dancing gigs throughout the late-’70s and early-’80s, including with the freestyle dance group the L.A. Knockers. That experience led to a stint gigging in New York City and waitressing (complete with rabbit tail) at the Playboy Club, where she befriended a jazz musician and learned to sing songs from the jazz canon. Her developing talents got her a few onscreen roles—as a backup singer in a scene from Rodney Dangerfield’s Back to School and as a dancer in Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo. But not long after that she found herself in a very different role—as a producer and creative director for TBS’s

[20] Missoula Independent • September 25–October 2, 2014

“Dinner and a Movie” television series, where hosts screen a movie and cook a meal that relates to the movie (The Hand that Rocks the Cradle was paired with “baby-back ribs.”)

“It was an off-the-wall comedy cooking show and we had a really fun run,” she says. “But after nine years, the show went through some transitions and I was given the choice to move to Atlanta and produce the show or to take a severance. I took the chance for some serious time off.”

Part of the problem was that since she was devoting so much time to television production, she didn’t have time to do what she really loved: dabbling.

On a whim, Carlson visited a friend in Montana and fell in love with the landscape. In 2004 she bought property in Stevensville and later moved to Missoula. Her projects became more personal and her stage more intimate. She started teaching salsa, singing locally and spending time in the garden. She also finally had time to work on her bachelor’s degree; she’s now a non-traditional dance student at the University of Montana.

Of course, her life is far from serene. On the contrary, it seems to be in constant motion. Besides Louie Bond and the Texas Playgirl, she fronts the Kimberlee Carlson Jazz Trio and plays in Western Union, a Western swing band. She co-produces the Ruby Jewel Jamboree, a bluegrass concert series.

Carlson says she appreciates the smaller community of artists that have just as much fun jamming in her backyard as on stage.

“There was that old paradigm of Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney: ‘My mom’s got a barn and I’ve got some costumes, let’s put on a show!’” she says. “I just love putting on shows. I have a fire in the belly for it. I love to create things. Everywhere I look, I see empty palettes.

“I keep thinking that I’m going to settle down a little bit and my garden will get bigger,” she adds.

“But then, honestly, I would probably want to do some sort of show about my garden.”

Tiny bombs Frankie Cosmos inflicts sweet darkness Frankie Cosmos’ lyrics serve as little paper cuts—tiny assaults that seem all the more damaging because they’re nestled in what sound like sweet acoustic bedroom recordings. In “Sleep Song,” she sings, “I’ll be here all night feelin’ totally fucked/ wondering what tomorrow will be like, and stayin’ up./ I guess I just make myself the victim, like you said.../ it all makes sense now, thanks so much.” Is “thanks so much” sarcasm or self-effacing defeat? It seems like both, and that ambivalence gives the album Frankie Cosmos its complexity.

Frankie Cosmos is the singer-songwriter name for Greta Kline (daughter of actors Phoebe Cates and Kevin Kline), and her newest album, Quick Songs, which includes “Sleep Song,” is as fleeting as the title implies. All tracks are under two minutes and three of them are under a minute. According to her Bandcamp page, the short tracks are a product of logistics because she and her friends challenged themselves to writing one song per day. But the short form has an interesting artistic effect, too. Kline is able to provide surprisingly complicated emotions in simple snapshots. In “Family with a Dog,” for instance, she wants a family with a dog and a “boyfriend full of love,” but halfway through she delves into an existential tangent, singing, “I see a lot more evil these days. I seem a lot more evil, too.”

Like Liz Phair’s Exile in Guyville, Frankie Cosmos’ songs are about the dark and uncomfortable corners of love. But they’re almost spookier in their brevity, like catching a shadowy figure out of the corner of your eye. Kline is part of a tradition (a newish one, mind you, that may have started with riot grrrls) that’s somehow simultaneously feminist and also confessional—proving that even the coolest women end up subjecting themselves to degradations they shouldn’t. It’s honest and sometimes maddeningly short. It’s a sleepy little time bomb.

(Erika Fredrickson) Frankie Cosmos plays Stage 112 Tue., Sept.

30, at 10 PM with Porches, FUULS and Wrinkles. $5/ $7 for ages 18 to 20.

The Maxies, Greenland Is Melting The scenic capital city of Nuuk, Greenland, is nestled around starkly beautiful fjords 150 miles south of the Arctic Circle. Nuuk is home to two museums, one taxi service and 16,000 people.

A handful of those people somehow found guitars and fell in love with punk rock, and those people are in The Maxies, the self-proclaimed “best band in the world from Greenland.”

The band’s home base is now in the considerably less icy Southern California, where it’s much easier to tour from. ( You might recall seeing The Maxies open for Reel Big Fish at the Wilma in January.) The band’s 2011 full length, Greenland is Melting, unleashes a

half-hour onslaught of bouncy pop punk and ska with chugging power chords, twinkly keyboards and snotty vocals about drinking and clubbing seals.

Writing brief pop songs leaves plenty of time for partying, playing around with memorable album art and coming up with stage names like “Bi-Polar Bear Tom” and “Cli-Maxie.” Better catch The Maxies now while you can: The band’s Facebook warns, “If you don’t like us, then your taste is only in your mouth! We will be in U.S. and A. until we are deported.” (Kate Whittle) The Maxies play the ZACC Mon., Sept. 29, at 8 PM, along with Eat Strike and Confidence Man. All ages. Cover TBA.

Kytami Turns out the best way to throw a wrench into the occasional monotony of electronica music is not with a wrench at all, but with a violin. Canadian fiddler Kytami spreads an unexpected but more than welcome acoustic icing on otherwise ordinary beats.

Her eponymous album from 2012 is filled with hiphop and bass and drum beats, and it tends to hold back in every aspect—with the exception of her cool violin solos that shift between Celtic-fusion and melodies that resemble a chase scene.

Born Kyla LaBlanc and based in Victoria, B.C., Kytami was classically trained in the violin from age 3 before picking up fiddling and helping to found

the Celtic/Punjabi mashup Delhi 2 Dublin. It bears mentioning because without all that, who would have thought to mix classical music stylings and heavy hip-hop like on “Bass is High,” or let a fiddle lead the industrial-sounding “Mek’s Reel.” Kytami’s four-stringed skills might turn electronica traditionalists, or at least attract fans of good violin players.

And her live videos on YouTube show a much more engaging onstage experience than most solo DJ shows I’ve seen. Innovation wins the day.

(Brooks Johnson) Kytami, Jay Tablet and DJ Generic play Stage 112 Thu., Sept. 25 at 9 PM. $7, $5 in advance.

Postbellum song Holocene takes Walt Whitman into the future

by Melissa Mylchreest

photo by Cathrine L. Walters

Nick Pavelich, center, stars in Viscosity Theatre’s Holocene.

At one point in his epic poem, “Song of Myself,” from Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman asks, “What do you think has become of the young and old men?/ And what do you think has become of the women and children?”

In the context of the poem, the line is philosophical, gentle almost; where do we go when we depart this earth? What happens to our corporeal being, and what happens to our stories? But taken another way, it reads as postbellum, a dark musing on what becomes of the populace when a civilization comes undone.

Whitman’s words and questions claim a prominent role in Hugh Bickley’s new play, Holocene.

Characters read and quote from “Song of Myself,” and refer to Whitman as an iconic, god-like figure from out of the past. But make no mistake: This play has none of the bucolic, navel-gazing nature that so many often associate with Whitman. Instead, Bickley manages a true triumph by exploring both readings of the above question, the gentle and the depraved—often with laugh-out-loud humor. And it’s in this balance that Holocene’s genius shines.

Set in a post-apocalyptic landscape, Holocene centers on the former school teacher Benny (played

by Kurtis Hassinger), his wife Starla (Kate Scott), and a trio of young revolutionaries. Together they comprise a theater troupe determined to produce a play capable of bringing peace to a war-torn, walled-in land, plagued by battling clans, scarce crops and (of course) zombies. It spoils nothing to reveal that the play-within-a-play soon disintegrates, and the motley cast finds itself grappling with far larger and more compelling concerns. Chief among them are the bonds that bind a family together (in some cases, literally), the razor’s edge between madness and sanity, treason, love, the powers of words and names, and how to fashion a new world out of detritus and fear.

If it sounds like a hackneyed or overused plot, think again. It bears fleeting resemblances to Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, and even to the well-loved Game of Thrones, but Holocene avoids comparisons by treading carefully and gracefully around clichés.

[22] Missoula Independent • September 25–October 2, 2014

Yes, this play is about a future world rife with knives and garbage, steampunk-esque clothing, barren women, malnourishment, a malevolent government and (I’ll say it again) zombies. But it’s also about so much more. It’s a play that uses language so skillfully and elegantly as to leave the audience spellbound long after the curtain call. It manages to maintain a poetic feel—an attentiveness to sound, a circularity of plot, a vividness of imagery—all the way through.

It’s a play that begs to be seen more than once, if only for the opportunity to fully absorb the lines and the gorgeous, intricate interplay between them.

Holocene is Bickley’s debut as a playwright (he’s better known as a local actor) and he has unquestionably hit a home run here. He, set designer Hannah Appell and director Sam Williamson did an excellent job utilizing the Palace—usually a space reserved for live music—to its best post-apocalyptic effect. The actors are top-notch, which is no surprise coming from a play produced by Missoula’s Viscosity Theatre. Sean Kirkpatrick plays the mentally disabled and prophetic Chicken Wing, a character he nails. Nick Pavelich delivers an equally stellar performance as Elliot Loveless, a role that ultimately challenges both actor and audience.

It’s easy to see why Bickley chose to use Whitman’s writing as a touchstone; prescient, timeless, his words themselves contain multitudes. The characters learn from the words, and ultimately enact them as they embark into the future. “You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,” Whitman wrote in “Song of Myself.” “You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me, you shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself.”

In the process, the characters’ world becomes astonishing and alive—and so does the play itself.

Holocene continues at the Palace Thu., Sept.

25, and Sun., Sept. 28 through Fri., Oct. 3, at 7 PM nightly. $12. Visit viscositytheatre.org. arts@missoulanews.com

On the money The Drop picks up where great films left off

by Molly Laich

Alley-catting around.

Does anybody remember that scene in the 1973 movie Serpico when Al Pacino’s character comes across a box of puppies for sale on the streets of New York? They’re English sheep dogs peddled by a couple of girls selling them for $10 a piece like they’re Girl Scout cookies, and Serpico can’t wait to get his hands on one. The scene represents his coming up in the world; work is good on the force and he’s got money and time enough for a dog now. But more than that, it gives us a glimpse of Serpico’s capacity for tenderness. I’ll bet the filmmakers were concerned about getting the plot just right, and yet years later, the thing with the dog is the only scene I remember from that movie.

I bring this up because it’s that same attention to nuance and character that makes this week’s film, The Drop, so special. The late great film critic Roger Ebert once said, “It’s not what it’s about, but how it’s about what it’s about.” The Drop is a prime example of that principle in action.

The film stars Tom Hardy as Bob Saginowski. He tends bar with his cousin Marv ( James Gandolfini) at a dive in Brooklyn that also functions as a drop spot for dirty money. It’s business as usual until the bar gets robbed and some important people lose something like $5,000 in the sting. It seems like a paltry sum compared to the big stakes we’re used to seeing, but in fact it’s a matter of life and death. There’s a sickly desperation in play here. The characters are always standing out in the cold. They’ve got their hands in their pockets. This isn’t the Brooklyn your hipster cousin moved to; it’s that other side, with accents.

Director Michaël R. Roskam’s earlier work includes a Belgian picture called Bullhead, nominated for best foreign film in 2011. Dennis Lehane wrote the screenplay adapted from his own short story, “Animal Rescue.” He also wrote similarly moody novelsturned-films like Shutter Island (2010) and Mystic River (2003). Hopefully we’ll see more from them in the future.

There’s something fishy about this robbery; some facts are uncovered along the way while others

[24] Missoula Independent • September 25–October 2, 2014

remain mysterious. Detective Torres ( John Ortiz) comes around and seems off task with his questions, but maybe he’s right on the money? Meanwhile, Bob finds an abused pitbull puppy abandoned in a mysterious woman’s trashcan. Is his tenderness for the sick animal meant to illustrate a softer side, as in Serpico, or is it more complicated? The mysterious woman, Nadia (Noomi Rapace), is fearful and suspect of Bob, until a strange friendship develops between the two of them with Rocco the puppy at the center. Who knows if Nadia has any connection to the robbery, but in a neighborhood this entrenched, it seems likely.

It’s heartbreaking to know in your bones that this is Gandolfini’s last performance, particularly because he brings so much to the table. It might sound like typecasting to put him in a New York crime drama, but he’s not Tony Soprano here. He’s on the bottom rung of a sad crime ladder and he wears the stress of that fact all over his face. All the performances are stellar, but the real shining light of the movie focuses squarely on English actor Hardy. You might remember Hardy as Bane from The Dark Knight Rises. Here, as the unassuming Brooklynraised bartender, he is likewise unrecognizable from any of his previous roles. He plays the character with an understated charm that I still can’t put my finger on. Hardy’s is the kind of performance you want to watch more than once in order to soak up all the complexities. It’s enough that he carries the picture when we think the story is one way, but just wait until it turns on its head.

That’s the thing about The Drop—you don’t know which direction you should be looking in. Sitting in the theater, I got that special, coveted feeling around the halfway point when I realized I didn’t know what was going to happen. How often do the movies ever deliver on that feeling anymore? Go get it while it’s hot.

Keep it simple, stupid

by SOUStown CHEF Among my group of friends, I’m usually the one tasked with covering the food. I bring the main dish for gatherings. I work the grill (and prep the spice rub hours before) for the barbecues, even when the gang’s not at my place. If we’re on a road trip, I’m the one who makes dinner reservations or scrounges through the Podunk corner market to scrape together something delicious. ( You’d be amazed at what one can do with Spam, but that’s a column for another day). This is fun for me, and I’ve never much bothered to question my role in the group dynamic.

Only recently has it occurred to me that my responsibilities are partly due to the fact that my friends are utter idiots within a kitchen. We’re talking complete ignorance beyond grilled cheese sandwiches and unwrapping microwaveable burritos. I’m convinced the only times they eat anything halfway healthy is when I’ve been kindly invited over/enticed by the promise of booze. How they have managed to survive this long without the onset of multiple maladies is a mystery I’d prefer not to solve. Some things, like mayonnaise, are better left untouched.

What makes my friends’ ignorance so maddening is that it’s not hard to make some pretty basic things that’ll impress your friends, taste delicious and, in some cases, qualify as health-conscious. We’re talking about dummy-proof snacks fit for football Sunday, family dinners or after-school snacks. In the interest of saving my friends from gout and/or diabetes and/or morbid obesity, and at the risk of sounding a bit like a Portland foodie with some of these more artisanal suggestions, here are my three favorites: Killer kale chips These are a slight variation of what every yuppie mom has been bragging about ever since you forgot her name at the last back-to-school meeting. The twist? A little extra kick.

What you need: 12 large Tuscan kale leaves (rinsed, dried, cut lengthwise in half, with center ribs and stems removed), 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic pow-

MUNCHIES

der, ¾ teaspoon of chili powder, ½ teaspoon of onion powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt.

How to make it: Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Toss kale with oil in large bowl. Sprinkle with spices.

Arrange leaves in single layer on 2 large baking sheets.

Bake until crisp, about 30 minutes for flat leaves and up to 33 minutes for wrinkled leaves. Transfer leaves to rack to cool.

Carrot fries What’s up, doc? Carrot fries. Carrot fries are what’s up. Those two words—carrots and fries— sound as wrong together as “P!nk” and “folk” (or “kale” and “chips,” for that matter), but these are really good.

What you need: 2 pounds large carrots (peeled), 6 tablespoons white rice flour (optional), 6 tablespoons canola oil, 2 teaspoons garam masala, 2 teaspoons salt.

How to make it: Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut carrots into french-fry-like sticks, about 3 inches long.

Toss carrots in large bowl with rice flour. Shake off excess flour and spread carrots in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake 7 minutes. While they’re cooking, combine oil, garam masala and salt in large bowl.

Gently toss carrots with oil mixture. Return carrots to sheet pan and bake until lightly browned, about 1012 minutes. (Note: you can do this same recipe minus the flour, if you prefer. If so, coat the carrots in oil and cook for about 20 minutes, total.)

Salami chips Enough with the veggies already, amirite?

What you need: 15-20 thin slices of deli salami, ¼ cup of dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of chopped thyme.

How to make it: Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Arrange the salami in a single layer on a baking sheet(s).

Bake until crisp, about 12-15 minutes. While they’re cooking, mix the mustard and thyme in a small bowl.

Serve as a dipping sauce for the salami chips.

Hidden Legend mead HAPPIEST HOUR What you’re drinking: Mead is about as simple as it gets when it comes to alcoholic drinks—it’s water and honey fermented with yeast.

ron squared Once upon a time in the year 1960, a Minnesota kid recently transplanted to New York landed one of his first gigs at a nursing home. The kid turned out to be Bob Dylan. The helpful New Yorker who found him a venue was Ron Gluck.

When you start to look through old folkie music history, Gluck keeps popping up, like Where’s Waldo.

Gluck shared the stage with Pete Seeger, played in a group called The Harvesters and performed at a White House concert for President Lyndon B. Johnphoto courtesy of Ron Jalopy

MOUNTAIN HIGH

T

he Bandmann Bridge has made the news lately for events involving boneheads jumping off it, but what do you know about the bridge’s namesake? Daniel Bandmann was a gentleman farmer and famous actor who brought Shakespearean plays to the frontier in the late 1800s. He’s credited with being one of the first thespians to foster Missoula’s reputation for being an artsy community, and he also publicly advocated for good causes like labor rights. Bandmann had a wee bit of trouble keeping his personal life in order, though, shuffling through at least three wives. When he wed California actress Mary Therese Kelly, his longtime companion Louise Beaudet sued him, claiming she was under the impression that they were married.

The crafty Bandmann also charged a toll for people to use the old railroad trestle bridge on his prop-

erty, which was the main connection between Bonner and East Missoula. Nowadays, you can learn about Bandmann’s exploits and help restore some of the land he would have been familiar with when Milltown State Park hosts a volunteer day on Saturday. There will be barb-wire-fence removal and land restoration work, but hopefully, no ghosts of angry wives.

—Kate Whittle Milltown State Park hosts a volunteer work day and interpretive presentation about Daniel Bandmann Sat., Sept. 27, as part of National Public Lands Day. 11 AM-2 PM. Bring practical clothes, leather work gloves and water. Contact Michael Kustudia for more info at 542-5533.

A couple high-profile events featuring NFL players and domestic violence have made the news lately, as you likely know unless you live under a rock. But it bears repeating that domestic violence isn’t rare or exceptional: one in three women and one in four men experience some kind of physical violence by an intimate partner, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

Abuse can take less obvious forms, too, like stalking, harassment, damaging property or controlling a victim’s access to money.

To illuminate the issue, the Women’s Resource Center and newly formed UM Advocates for NonViolence are teaming up for the Light Up the Night rally. It meets Oct. 2 at the trailhead beneath the M for poetry readings, speeches and music. If you’d like to join in, just show up with a flashlight, glow stick or anything else that lights up—just no candles or lighters, since that poses a fire hazard and Mount Sentinel is dry as unbuttered toast right about now.

Bring a warm jacket and sturdy shoes, because

after the poetry, the rally will hike up to light up the M and spread the message for the town to see.

—Kate Whittle The inaugural Light Up the Night gathers for an evening of poetry and music in support of anyone who’s been affected by interpersonal violence. Meet at the amphitheater at the base of the M trail Thu., Oct. 2, at 6:30 PM. Contact the Women’s Resource Center at umt.wrc@gmail.com to perform.

PET OF THE WEEK Nidori is hoping to celebrate finding her forever home at the Canine Classic! This beautiful girl came to us in June with one 6 month old puppy and a litter on the way. After a very difficult labor and an emergency c-section (thanks to Nidori’s fosters, our generous supporters, and Missoula Vet), Nidori had 6 chunky, fun-loving pups. By the time the puppies were 8 weeks old and ready to go to homes, families (literally) lined up to adopt them! Now it’s Nidori’s turn. This sweet 2 year-old is looking for her own home, especially with a family.

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their freshness into you, the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. -John Muir

WHOA IS ME Last year, after I split up with my girlfriend, the law firm I worked for went belly up. I haven't been on a date all year. Friends try to set me up, and I keep giving excuses for why I can't go, but the truth is, I've totally lost my nerve. I'd like to change that. Money isn't the issue. I work here and there and still have severance pay left. But despite interviewing heavily, I have yet to land a full-time gig and feel kind of like a failure, and I don't want to discuss that on dates.

—Romantic Stage Fright You lost your girlfriend and were thinking, "At least I have my job." Then you lost your job and were thinking, "At least I have my confidence." Whatever happens, don't say, "At least I have my penis."

After a series of big setbacks, it's understandable that you'd feel most comfortable hiding under the bed.

Unfortunately, you won't get a whole lot of dates there unless you have a tiny tea set and are sexually attracted to mice. You likewise are unlikely to find your lost nerve under there, perhaps hiding out from creditors. But, like many people, where you go wrong is in thinking that you need to find your nerve to take action. You don't. You just need to decide that being afraid to do something isn't a good enough reason to avoid doing it.

Of course, you'll do better on dates if you don't arrive feeling like a cow patty in nice shoes. The good news is, you can give yourself a boost pretty easily—without standing in an open field during a storm and hoping to get struck by a bolt of confidence. A growing body of research finds that "walking the walk" (in your case, just making the body movements of the large and in charge) is actually transformative.

For example, social psychologist Dana Carney had both men and women pose for just two minutes like fat-cat executives—feet on desk, hands behind head.

These simple acts raised their testosterone (the dominance hormone) and made them more willing to take risks (a sign of confidence), and they reported feeling more, well, "Wolf of Wall Street" than "Chihuahua of Skid Row." In other words, when you have a date, you need to get to the place early and do a little bathroom-stall yoga. Ridiculous as it seems, a little powerbroker-cise should help you feel and act like your

peer group is great white sharks instead of small brown smudges. And though your inclination is probably to shove all your negative thoughts about your job loss in some mental drawer, research by clinical psychologist James J. Gross finds that this tends to backfire, making you feel worse. Instead, try "cognitive reappraisal"—reframing your job loss so it works better for your mojo. This would just take emphasizing to yourself what you already know—that you're jobless because of others' bad business decisions and a tough economy, not because your lawyering skills rival those of a plastic fern.

When you're on the date, don't worry about selling yourself. We tend to believe we can talk people into liking us, but we're actually more likely to listen them into it.

And by listen, I mean listening from the gut, not just nodding your head while trying to remember whether you left a load of underwear in your apartment building's washing machine.

Obviously, the easiest way for you to feel better is to start working again, which would give you a sense of purpose. The thing is, you don't have to wait for somebody to hire you. Consider donating at least a few hours a week to provide free legal counsel to people in need. I explain in "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck" that we can happy ourselves up for, oh, a few weeks or a month by chasing happiness—buying a new car or a new set of boobs—but happiness with staying power comes from pursuing meaning, like by making the world a better place because you're in it.

Making the world a better place has the side benefit of making it a better place for you to go on dates. Women look for men to show signs of generosity, and pro bono lawyering stories are way better than hoping she notices that you left a 24.6 percent tip. And ultimately, dates and job interviewers alike should find the natural excitement that comes out of "I'm helping an elderly widow save her home!" far sexier than your current conversation starter: "I like wearing a paper bag over my head and crying myself to sleep; what are your hobbies?"

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It's no secret. The wealthy one percent of the population has been getting progressively wealthier. Meanwhile, the poor are becoming steadily poorer. I'm worried there is a metaphorically similar trend in your life. Am I right? If so, please do all you can to reverse it. Borrow energy from the rich and abundant parts of your life so as to lift up the neglected and underendowed parts. Here's one example of how you could proceed: For a while, be less concerned with people who think you're a star, and give more attention to those who accept and love your shadow side.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): "I choose a lazy person to do a hard job," says Bill Gates, the world's second-richest man, "because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it." That's good counsel for you right now, Taurus. You'd be wise to get in touch with your inner lazy bum. Let the slacker within you uncover the least stressful way to accomplish your difficult task. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, there is no need for you to suffer and strain as you deal with your dilemma.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you don't identify and express your conscious desires, your unconscious desires will dominate your life. I will say that again in different language, because it's crucial you understand the principle. You've got to be very clear about what you really want, and install a shining vision of what you really want at the core of your everyday life. If you don't do that, you will end up being controlled by your habits and old programming. So be imperious, Gemini. Define your dearest, strongest longing, and be ruthlessly devoted to it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) was an influential French photographer, a pioneer of photojournalism who helped transform photography into an art form. In 1986 he was invited to Palermo, Sicily to accept a prize for his work. The hotel he stayed in seemed oddly familiar to him, although he didn't understand why. It was only later he discovered that the hotel had been the place at which his mother and father stayed on their honeymoon.

It was where he was conceived. I foresee a comparable development on the horizon for you, Cancerian: a return to origins, perhaps inadvertent; an evocative encounter with your roots; a reunification with an influence that helped make you who you are today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): With expert execution, musician Ben Lee can play 15 notes per second on his violin. Superstar eater Pete Czerwinski needs just 34 seconds to devour a 12-inch pizza.

When Jerry Miculek is holding his rifle, he can get off eight crack shots at four targets in a little more than one second. While upside-down, Aichi Ono is capable of doing 135 perfect head spins in a minute. I don't expect you to be quite so lightning fast and utterly flawless as these people in the coming weeks, Leo, but I do think you will be unusually quick and skillful. For the foreseeable future, speed and efficiency are your specialties.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "I am a seed about to break," wrote Sylvia Plath in her poem "Three Women." That's how I see you right now, Libra. You are teeming with the buoyant energy that throbs when a seed is ready to sprout. You have been biding your time, gathering the nourishment you need, waiting for the right circumstances to burst open with your new flavor. And now that nervous, hopeful, ecstatic moment is about to arrive. Be brave!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The English verb "cicurate" is defined as "to tame or domesticate" or "to make mild or innocuous." But it once had an additional sense: "to reclaim from wildness."

It was derived from the Latin word cicurare, which meant "to bring back from madness, to draw out of the wilderness." For your purposes, Scorpio, we will make cicurate your theme, but concentrate on these definitions: "to reclaim from wildness, to bring back from madness, to draw out of the wilderness." In the coming weeks, you will be exploring rough, luxuriant areas of unknown territory. You will be wrangling with primitive, sometimes turbulent energy. I urge you to extract the raw vitality you find there, and harness it to serve your daily rhythm and your long-term goals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "You can exert no influence if you are not susceptible to influence," said psychologist Carl Jung. Extrapolating from that idea, we can hypothesize that the more willing and able you are to be influenced, the greater your influence might be. Let's make this your key theme in the coming weeks. It will be an excellent time to increase your clout, wield more authority, and claim more of a say in the creation of your shared environments. For best results, you should open your mind, be very receptive, and listen well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Congratulations, Capricorn. Your current dilemmas are more useful and interesting than any that you have had for a long time. If you can even partially solve them, the changes you set in motion will improve your entire life, not just the circumstances they immediately affect. Of the several dividends you may reap, one of my favorites is this: You could liberate yourself from a messed-up kind of beauty and become available for a more soothing and delightful kind. Here's another potential benefit: You may transform yourself in ways that will help you attract more useful and interesting dilemmas in the future.

h

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Alan Moore is the British author who wrote the graphic novels Watchmen and V for Vendetta. He is now nearing completion of Jerusalem, a novel he has been working on for six years. It will be more than a million words long, almost double the size of Tolstoy's War and Peace, and 200,000 words bigger than the Bible. "Any editor worth their salt would tell me to cut two-thirds of this book," Moore told the New Statesman, "but that’s not going to happen." Referring to the author of Moby Dick, Moore adds, "I doubt that Herman Melville had an editor. If he had, that editor would have told him to get rid of all that boring stuff about whaling: 'Cut to the chase, Herman.'" Let's make Moore and Melville your role models in the coming week, Aquarius. You have permission to sprawl, ramble, and expand. Do NOT cut to the chase.

i

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For a long time, an Illinois writer named ArLynn Leiber Presser didn't go out much. She had 325 friends on Facebook and was content to get her social needs met in the virtual realm. But then she embarked on a year-long project in which she sought face-to-face meetings with all of her online buddies. The experiment yielded sometimes complicated but mostly interesting results. It took her to 51 cities around the world. I suggest we make her your inspirational role model for the coming weeks, Pisces. In at least one way, it's time for you to move out of your imagination and into the real world. You're primed to turn fantasies into actions, dreams into practical pursuits.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): As the makeup artist for the film Dallas Buyers Club, Robin Mathews had a daunting task. During the 23 days of shooting, she had to constantly transform lead actors Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto so that they appeared either deathly ill or relatively healthy. Sometimes she had to switch them back and forth five times a day. She was so skillful in accomplishing this feat that she won the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Her budget? A meager $250. The film was a shoestring indie production. I'm naming her your inspirational role model for the next few weeks, Virgo. I believe that you, too, can create magic without a wealth of resources.

These pets may be adopted at Missoula Animal Control 541-7387 ADELE• Adele is a female adult Siamese mix. Adele is unique for many reasons. She has gorgeous coloring, is cross-eyed, and is polydactyl which means she has extra toes. She is true to the siamese character: She is very sweet and loving but once she decides that she is done letting you pet her, she makes it very obvious.

CONSTANCE•Constance is a 6-year-old gray female cat. We have been trying to find a home for her for a very long time.

She is declawed so she does need to be an indoor-only cat. She doesn't like change but has adjusted better the longer she has been at the shelter. Constance would do best in a home with no children as she enjoys the quiet life.
