RMSP celebrates 25th anniversary Owners credit photography program’s success to its educators

By KEILA SZPALLER of the Missoulian

The images flash across the screen – an old barn, gumballs, a calla lily.

Tenderness, youth.

Even devastation; a dropped ice cream cone and a man prostrate before it.

The slideshow takes place during the graduation ceremony of 79 students from the “summer intensive” program of the Rocky Mountain School of Photography. In the school’s 25th year, these photographers have completed the cornerstone of education at RMSP and the foundation of its

“career training” curriculum.

“It’s just amazing what you guys can do in such a short amount of time,” Neil Chaput de Saintonge said to the room full of graduates.

LOLO CREEK SOME FIND HOMES, OTHERS PILES OF ASH

RESIDENTS RETURN

By ALICE MILLER of the Missoulian

Green grass covered the yard mere days ago, but ashes and pieces of glass crunched under Shari Cooper’s feet as she walked around two destroyed homes Saturday in the Lolo Creek canyon.

Shari Cooper walks around the remains of her mother-in-law’s and brotherin-law’s homes as she and other residents along U.S. Highway 12 returned to their property Saturday after evacuation orders were lifted for the Lolo Creek Complex fire. The home Cooper shares with her husband Gordon, while only yards away from the others, survived the blaze.

Neptune focuses on planes; AFFORDABLE CARE ACT still no contract with USFS Subsidies create deals

Two big planes circle over Sleeman Gulch, dropping loads of retardant on the Lolo Creek Complex fire.

One is a Korean War-era Lockheed P2-V, a converted submarine chaser with a distinctive rumble to its rotary

propeller engines. The other is a British Aerospace BAe-146 jet, built in the 1990s with roughly twice the payload and twice the speed of the old warbird. Both belong to Missoula-based Neptune Aviation.

HELENA – If you’re single, earn about $15,000 a year and have no health insurance, subsidized policies under “Obamacare” will be available

this fall for as little as $23 a month – and with good benefits.

But if you’re single, make $40,000 a year and have no health insurance, you may not get a subsidy – and the policy you can buy under Obamacare

would cost about $240 a month, with lesser benefits.

This same pattern holds true for most uninsured Montanans who will choose to shop for health insurance on See SUBSIDIES, Page A8

Lolo Creek Complex makes modest gains, hits unburned fuels

By ALICE MILLER of the Missoulian

A column of smoke column rising from the Lolo Creek Complex raised concerns about the state of the fire Saturday afternoon on the day evacuees were allowed to return home.

The smoke likely was caused by unburned fuel that caught fire, said Cris Reichenbach, a public information officer on the fire. The fire, which has burned 10,567acres, is moving north and the flames have yet to reach some pockets of fuel, she said.

Strides in containing the fire near residences over the past several days meant evacuation orders were lifted Saturday morning and U.S. Highway 12 reopened.

Good lines, mostly burned fuel sources and

On Saturday, a moose walked slowly out of the steep woods in Lolo canyon and ambled off toward lower ground.

winds blowing away from area residences should mean that homes continue to be safe, she said.

However, firefighters are still patrolling the Highway 12 corridor for hot spots.

“They’re keeping a really close eye on that area,” Reichenbach said.

“Most of the residences and places of concern are on the sides of the fire where we do have containment,” said Wayne Wynick, a fire spokesman.

Wynick added that the fire is 40 percent contained and has 770 personnel working on it.

Pre-evacuation warnings remain in effect for residents of the area, he said.

“We want folks to be paying attention because if something goes bad, they may not have an awful lot of time to react before it’s upon them,” he said.

Progress near residences allowed firefighters to shift

their main focus to the fire’s northern edge Saturday.

The free-burning area represents 40 percent of the fire’s perimeter and is in rough terrain that has poor ground access.

“So it’s not easy to get to where some of the activity is occurring without a pretty good hike,” Wynick said, adding that would make it difficult for firefighters to get out in an emergency as well.

On Sunday, crews will continue to work on containing the northern edge of the fire to prevent it from threatening a large power line, while strengthening current lines and mopping up.

“Primary thing is to establish new lines where they can and to secure the ones that were established,” Wynick said.

Fires have impacted air

quality in the region, with the Lolo area being listed by the Missoula City-County Health Department on Saturday as good for shortterm exposure but unhealthy for cumulative exposure.

Lolo residents planned for unhealthy air quality Saturday night and into Sunday morning.

Missoula air quality was listed as unhealthy for sensitive groups, and hazy, smoky conditions are expected through Sunday.

A pattern of smoky mornings with relief in the afternoons is likely until Lolo Creek Complex calms down.

On the Gold Pan Complex in Idaho’s Frank Church-River or No Return Wilderness southwest of Darby, 285 personnel worked toward point

protection on the main fire and full suppression on the Nez Peak fire.

The return of a heavy helicopter that had been loaned to the Lolo Creek Complex brought bucket drops that helped firefighters as they worked to keep the blazes from reaching private property.

“Right now, the big thing they’re doing is prepping the residential area that’s several miles out from the fire area,” said Kimberly Nelson, a fire spokeswoman.

The main fire grew slightly, primarily in the northeast portion, to 35,043 acres, Nelson said.

Sunday’s fire behavior is expected to be moderate, she said.

Forest lands still are closed and stage 1 fire restrictions remain in place.

A NEW CHOICE FOR AFFORDABLE HEALTH INSURANCE There’s a spirit in Montana. It’s part of who we are — and how we care about one another. Now there’s a healthcare plan that shares these values.

Complex fire and U.S. Highway 12 reopened.

Cooper’s mother-in-law’s and brother-in-law’s homes burned in the fire, but her own home, in the same yard as the others, was left unscathed.

The other two houses were among five residences lost in the fire last Monday, which at one point threatened more than 1,000 homes.

“It was just absolutely horrifying. It was just too close,” Cooper said of the fire that forced her, her husband, her mother-in-law and renters to flee.

Cooper’s husband Gordon drove down the road to scope out the fire that residents thought had been extinguished already.

When he reached a gravel pit, he turned around and sped home in front of the wind-whipped flames that were roaring down the ridge.

The couple and several neighbors didn’t receive evacuation notices, Gordon Cooper said.

By the time he made it back home, gathered his wife, mom and pets, the fire was clearly visible from his driveway, he said.

“If I had gone into Lolo to get a gallon of milk – anything – then (Mom) wouldn’t have been with us,” he said.

When the Coopers returned Saturday, only their house was left standing.

They spent the day assessing the damage and figuring out their next steps.

modern firefighting jets in the wildfire business, but the company doesn’t know its future with the U.S. Forest Service. And according to a government analysis released last week, it’s not clear the Forest Service does either.

“That’s an issue we’re taking up with (Forest Service Chief Tom) Tidwell,” U.S. Sen. Jon Tester said during a visit to the Lolo Creek Complex fire camp. “There are ways to get these planes up.

Neptune’s a good contractor. They’ve served this country very, very well. Those planes could have a real impact that could knock this fire down.”

Neptune has two more jets getting outfitted for firefighting at its hanger just east of Missoula International Airport. Last year, when it won one of the Forest Service’s nextgeneration air tanker contracts, Neptune appeared set on a 10-year course of building a new fleet of firebombers.

But last October, two unsuccessful bidders protested the Forest Service’s contract process.

Last May, the agency issued new contracts. The two protesters, 10 Tanker Air Carrier LLC and Coulson Aircrane USA, joined the next-gen fleet.

Neptune lost out.

At the time, Forest Service national director for fire and aviation management Tom Harbour said the winning vendors produced the best offers after an earlier award was protested last August.

“In a nutshell, these awards to the five companies are as a result of evaluating all the bids and technical factors, and pricing,” Harbour said in May. “After the Forest Service clarified and revised the requests for proposal in November, all the vendors in the first group had a chance to go back and redo their proposals. That meant

Although evacuation orders have been lifted on the Lolo Creek Complex fire, the Red Cross continues to operate a shelter at Christ the King Church in Missoula and people can continue to get information from the fire information center.

The hillside that the Coopers like to look at from their porch chairs in the evening is covered in ash.

The fire left its unmistakable mark in other places along the corridor as well.

Signs of the fire are clearly visible at Tina Cummins’ home, where flames quickly came over the ridge and started toward the building.

“It was fast. It was really fast,” Cummins said, adding she feels fortunate her home is still standing.

A neighbor bulldozed some fire lines before they evacuated and firefighters’ efforts saved the house that Cummins said she didn’t expect would be standing when she returned.

For 20 years, she has called Lolo Creek home and said she plans to rebuild.

“Next spring, the wildflowers will start coming back. That’s how you’ve got to look at it,” she said.

Bowey said she’s also thankful for how people responded to the fire.

“I just am in awe of everybody being there to help out,” she said of fire crews, friends and neighbors.

Lebanese security forces arrest bombing suspect

CAIRO (AP) – Egypt’s government on Saturday shortened a widelyimposed evening curfew, signaling that authorities sense turmoil is waning after unrest following the president’s ouster threatened to destabilize the country this month.

The Cabinet’s decision to cut the curfew by two hours came as Egypt’s interim prime minister vowed that his government’s priority is restoring security.

Egypt experienced one of the deadliest bouts of violence in recent days since its Arab Spring began in 2011. Nationwide clashes and attacks killed more than 1,000 people after the security forces cleared two Cairo sit-ins belonging to supporters of toppled President Mohammed Morsi, overthrown in a popularly supported July 3 military coup.

Since the unrest spiked, much of Egypt has been under a military-imposed nighttime curfew.

Responding to citizens’ demands, the government said in a statement Saturday that the 11 hourlong curfew would be in place daily for just nine hours. However, the full

GOMA, Congo (AP) – U.N. forces joined Congolese soldiers on the front line Saturday where they fought rebels in the country’s volatile east for hours, officials said, as border tensions escalated between Rwanda and Congo.

Scores of angry residents took to the streets of Goma in protest following several days of violence that have left at least seven dead in this city of nearly a million people near the Congo-Rwanda border. Two civilians died in the demonstrations, and the U.N. called for a joint investigation.

“We are using artillery, indirect fire with mortars and our aviation, and at the moment we have troops in the front line alongside the FARDC (government forces),” the U.N. force commander in Congo, Gen. Dos Santos Cruz, said.

The U.N.’s new intervention brigade, which has a stronger mandate than past U.N. peacekeeping missions and is authorized to fight the rebel forces operating in eastern Congo, engaged this week in fighting for the first time since it was created in March.

BEIRUT – Lebanese security forces arrested a suspect on Saturday in connection with the devastating double bombing the day before that killed at least 47 people in the northern city of Tripoli, the state news agency said.

Subsidies

‘Obamacare’ premium examples

Continued

the new Internet “marketplace,” a linchpin of Obamacare, the federal health care law known formally as the Affordable Care Act. Those with lower incomes will find some very affordable health coverage for purchase, thanks to the generous federal subsidies offered under the ACA. Those with higher incomes, however, will have to pay a higher share of their income toward buying coverage, even with subsidies.

The ACA, of course, requires all Americans to have health insurance by 2014 or pay a tax penalty.

The Internet marketplace – one in each state – is Obamacare’s main tool for making affordable, private health insurance available to a big chunk of the nation’s 50 million uninsured. Shopping on the marketplace begins Oct. 1.

In an attempt to make these policies affordable, the federal government is providing subsidies (officially, “tax credits”) for those who buy insurance on the marketplace.

The subsidies are available only to those whose income ranges from 100 percent to 400 percent of the federal poverty level.

It’s estimated that 150,000 to 200,000 Montanans may be eligible for subsidies, as they shop for insurance on the marketplace.

The amount of that subsidy and how much it offsets the cost of insurance will differ greatly depending on your age, income and type of coverage you choose.

To get an idea of what those subsidies might be, the Lee Newspapers State Bureau calculated the insurance cost and subsidies for nine hypothetical Montana households. Here’s what we found: n For those in lower income brackets, most policies are an excellent deal, as the subsidies offset a larger share of the cost for low-income earners. Those earning below 250 percent of the federal poverty level also get more generous policies for a lower cost. n Higher-income households are expected to pay a higher share of their income for their policies, and may get minimal subsidies or no subsidy at all. n Families with children are probably more likely to get a higher subsidy, because the poverty level threshold for their households is higher. n Older households can expect to pay higher premiums – but if you’re older and have very low income, a lot of that premium will be offset by the subsidy.

However, one income group is left out in the cold: Those earning less than 100 percent of the federal poverty level, or $11,490 for a single person and $23,550 for a family of four.

People in this group are not eligible for any subsidies. They’re

The premiums above are an average of Montana’s four regional premiums. Your actual price will be a few dollars less or more, depending where you live in Montana. The policies listed are actual policies on Montana’s federal health insurance Internet “marketplace,” where consumers can shop for and buy policies starting Oct. 1, to take effect Jan. 1. The deductible is the amount of medical costs you pay for yourself before insurance kicks in. The co-insurance is the percentage of medical costs the insurer pays once the deductible is met. For example, if the co-insurance is 100 percent, the insurer covers all costs above the deductible. All policies also cover some benefits 100 percent, such as basic preventive care. Subsidies are available to those earning 100 percent to 400 percent of the federal poverty level, although not everyone within that window may qualify for a subsidy. Those below 100 percent of the poverty line get no subsidy.

HELENA – If you want federal subsidies to offset the cost of health insurance you buy under “Obamacare,” you must tell the government your estimated income for 2014.

But what happens if you guess wrong?

If you’re off just a bit, it shouldn’t make that much difference. But if you lowball it by a bundle, you could end up having to pay back most or all of those subsidies.

Here’s how it works: If you go online at Montana’s health insurance “marketplace” after Oct. 1 to shop for a policy, you’ll be asked to submit your estimated “modified adjusted gross income” for 2014.

For most people, MAGI will be their estimated wages, interest and dividend income – generally, all taxable income. It also includes non-taxable Social Security benefits and some pension and annuity payments.

If you earned more than you estimated, and you got a subsidy for your health insurance, you may have to pay back some of the subsidy.

The maximum amount

of payback is tied to your actual 2014 income. If you earn anywhere from 100 percent to 199 percent of the federal poverty level, your maximum payback is $300 for an individual and $600 for a family.

The maximum payback rises gradually to $1,250 for an individual and $2,500 for a family for those earning 300 percent to 399 percent of the poverty level, and, for those at 400 percent of poverty and higher, you must pay back all of the overpayment.

So, if you estimate your 2014 income at a lowly $15,000 and thus get a substantial subsidy to offset your insurance policy, and you get a much better job in 2014 or have a big capital gain and your income soars – be prepared pay back that subsidy.

Snowden may have bypassed NSA’s logs Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The U.S. government’s efforts to determine which highly classified materials leaker Edward Snowden took from the National Security Agency have been frustrated by Snowden’s sophisticated efforts to cover his digital trail by deleting or bypassing electronic logs, government officials told the Associated Press. Such logs would have showed what information Snowden viewed or downloaded.

The government’s forensic investigation is wrestling with Snowden’s apparent ability to defeat safeguards established to monitor and deter people looking at information without proper permission, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the sensitive developments publicly.

The disclosure undermines the Obama administration’s assurances to Congress

and the public that the NSA surveillance programs can’t be abused because its spying systems are so aggressively monitored and audited for oversight purposes: If Snowden could defeat the NSA’s own tripwires and internal burglar alarms, how many other employees or contractors could do the same?

In July, nearly two months after Snowden’s earliest disclosures, NSA Director Keith Alexander declined to say whether he had a good idea of what Snowden had downloaded or how many NSA files Snowden had taken with him, noting an ongoing criminal investigation.

NSA spokeswoman Vanee Vines told the AP that Alexander “had a sense of what documents and information had been taken,” but “he did not say the comprehensive investigation had been completed.” Vines would not say whether Snowden had found a way to view and download the documents he took without the NSA knowing.

among the largest and oldest living things on earth.

The Tuolumne and Merced groves in are in the north end of the park near Crane Flat. While the Rim fire is still some distance away, park employees and trail crews are not taking any chances.

“We’re not looking at them as any kind of immediate threat, but we’re taking precautions,” Gediman said.

More than 5,500 homes are threatened and four were destroyed.

Voluntary and mandatory evacuations have been ordered.

The fire has been burning for a week. The cause is under investigation.

The fire held steady overnight at nearly 200 square miles along the park’s northern border, but a spokesman for the California Department of

Forestry and Fire Protection says firefighters didn’t get their usual reprieve from cooler early morning temperatures Saturday.

The tourist mecca of Yosemite Valley, the part of the park known around the world for such sights as the Half Dome and El Capitan rock formations and waterfalls, remained open, clear of smoke and free from other signs of the fire that remained about 20 miles away.

More than 2,600 firefighters and a half dozen aircraft are battling the blaze.

The fire is burning toward the Hetch Hetchy reservoir, where San Francisco gets 85 percent of its water and power for municipal buildings, the international airport and San Francisco General Hospital. Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency because of the threats.

RMSP Continued

in its first year, eight students enrolled. Since then, the classes and programs have grown, and the summer intensive program alone graduates 80 to 100 students annually and brings students from all over the world to Missoula.

Through its career program at home, the school has helped people launch new professions.

Around the country, its weekend trainings and weeklong workshops have inspired “avid amateur” photographers as well as life changes.

Every year, the Rocky Mountain School of Photography makes an impression on the community, visible and otherwise. The flock of photographers toting cameras to the farmers markets are conspicuous, but the impact the school has on the local economy is less apparent.

It’s also significant, said Andy Kemmis, marketing coordinator for RMSP. One summer of career training alone can bring an estimated $1.3 million to the community with students from around the world paying tuition, renting rooms and dining out for as long as six months.

“And nobody comes to Montana without taking trips to Yellowstone and Glacier,” Kemmis said.

Instructors and students attribute the school’s success to its unparalleled focus on teaching. In a workshop in Glacier National Park last week, multiple students said the photography industry is full of “fly-bynight” operations and saturated with instructors more interested in boosting their own egos than teaching a craft.

“It’s very clear that that’s not where these guys are at all,” said Karen Giffen, a Cleveland lawyer and repeat customer of RMSP. Tim Cooper, one of six staff instructors at RMSP and lead instructor for the Glacier travel workshop, said the owners created an atmosphere early on of putting students first, and the tradition continues.

The teachers love to teach, and everyone loves photography.

“By helping the students, I guess we all get rewarded,” Cooper said. “We’re doing what we love. We’re teaching photography, so I think that’s part of what’s helped the school stay around for so long.”

And strong teaching is a core value of the school, Jeanne Chaput said. A famous photographer doesn’t necessarily make a good teacher, she said; RMSP is interested in the latter, so when someone like the late Galen Rowell

As you grow, you have to become a business, and that’s the hardest part.

– Jeanne Chaput, co-owner of Rocky Mountain School of Photography

Neil Chaput makes a visit to a class being taught by his son, Forest, last week at one of RMSP’s classrooms in Missoula. The Chaputs hope to one day turn the school over to Forest and his fiancee. gets hired, it’s because of his ability to share knowledge.

“You check your ego at the door if you want to teach here,” Chaput said.

“We hire people who know how to teach instead of hiring people because of their name in the business.”

The school has had its challenges, but the Chaputs never doubted they would succeed, even in the beginning.

They had run a school in Georgia already, and they were ready for a move to Montana. The couple wanted to have a child, and they didn’t want to raise a family in Atlanta.

“It was a struggle in the early years, but it’s felt successful to us ever since we started it because we were where we wanted to be,” Jeanne Chaput said.

“We were doing what we wanted to do, and we were in a place we loved.”

After 9/11, the school saw a burst in enrollment.

The tragedy reminded people they don’t live forever, Neil Chaput said, and a record 154 students signed up for classes at the School of Photography that summer.

It was too many students for RMSP’s facilities, and the school has since capped summer intensive at 100.

“This year, we have (students from) England, Australia, Iran, Switzerland, Mexico, plus 26 states,” said Chaput, who studied under Ansel Adams.

As many as 35 states have been represented, he said.

The school has held classes around the world, too, as far away as New Zealand, but in 2008

when the economy crashed, it refocused on its domestic programs. It continues to hold photo weekends from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Ore.; it presents weeklong workshops as far away as Death Valley National Park in California and Glacier National Park at home.

Over the years, the most challenging aspect has been growing the school from a small family operation to full-fledged business, Jeanne Chaput said. Making that transition isn’t easy, she said, and RMSP continues to turn that corner.

“As you grow, you have to become a business, and that’s the hardest part,” Chaput said.

The best part is breathing an idea into life, at least for Mary Brunst.

Brunst, who is based in Maryland, once considered her camera a hobby. She worked as a decorative painter and finish artist in Washington, D.C., before she decided she needed a grasp on the principles of photography.

In 2010, she enrolled in RMSP’s career training to gain an understanding of the foundations of photography and technical elements. The instructors taught in ways that applied to the real world, she said, and now, Brunst owns her own business as a portrait photographer.

She credits the school’s achievements to its constant evolution, to the way staff such as curriculum director Marcy James stay abreast of trends in the industry and adapt. The school, she said, has always been about transition and change.

In her own life, starting a new business has been more work than she ever imagined, and Brunst still works part time for her father’s landscaping company to ensure a steady paycheck. But her photo schedule is booked through the end of the year, she’s booking weddings for 2014 and she feels equipped with the skills to grow.

“It’s exciting to work so hard and then feel like your dreams are finally getting there,” Brunst said.

And her story is one of many, Kemmis said.

Tom Robertson of Missoula was a cartographer and bike enthusiast who graduated from the school in 2008 and has since photographed triathlete Linsey Corbin and champion mountain biker Sam Schultz. Ethan Rohloff was in sales for a biomedical company, and now, he’s a photographer with specialties in aerial photos and architecture.

“It probably took him a couple years to get his legs under him, but right now, he’s a full-time professional photographer,” Kemmis said. “He makes 100 percent of his income from photography.”

As they pass this milestone of 25 years, Jeanne and Neil Chaput

have a vision for the years ahead.

Neil will continue teaching because it’s his passion. At the graduation ceremony, he tells the students he’s proud of them, and he advises them to take risks and follow their dreams, even if skeptics doubt them the way some doubted he and his wife could succeed with RMSP. “I don’t know what burnout is because I’m 70, and I like teaching more this year than last year,” Chaput said. “I love teaching more every year.

I love being around the students.”

Eventually, the couple envisions turning the school over to the son who pulled them to Montana, Forest Chaput de Saintonge, and his

fiancee, both photographers. At the school, Forest Chaput is an instructor, and Sarah Joann VanNortwick is an assistant instructor.

Until recently, Jeanne Chaput managed operations, and this August, she began a new relationship with the school. Jeanne enrolled in a class at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography.

She had a new camera to use, and she may have been familiar with the school’s reputation.

“It was great. I learned a whole bunch,” Chaput said.

“I’m going to take another one in September.

I’m taking intermediate. I graduated from basic.”

officers at nearby middle and high schools.

“That first, immediate shot, chances are nobody is going to be able to stop,” Kevin Quinn, president of the National Association of School Resource Officers, said. “The difference is going to be responding to it.”

Quinn said his group has trained twice as many new officers as last year, more than 90 since January.

While some question the need for an armed presence on campus, arming teachers and others when a school resource officer can’t be hired is even more controversial. At least three states have passed laws allowing teachers to be carry handguns.

Quinn and others worry that an armed teacher may actually put kids more at risk, rather than protect them. If a shooter did come on campus, for example, teachers might have to choose between safeguarding students and leaving them to respond to an incident. Having an armed teacher on campus also could complicate matters for a responding officer who doesn’t know if the teacher is an employee or the shooter, Quinn said.

“Who’s the bad guy?” he said. “Who’s the teacher with the gun?”

RAVALLI COUNTY

Realtors report upward trend

By PERRY BACKUS Ravalli Republic

Thousands head downtown for annual two-day festival to cap off summer

HAMILTON – Longtime Ravalli County Realtor Craig Siphers likes what he sees happening in the Bitterroot Valley’s housing market.

“I think we saw the bottom of the market end in April,” Siphers said. “Pending sales in May just shot up, and now average sales prices have started to go up. I think that’s the trend we will see going forward.”

A national report released last week showed existing homes sales climbed by 6.5 percent in July to annualized pace of 5.39 million units. That number marked a 17.2 percent increase from the same period last year, according to the National Association of Realtors.

That renewed interest in the national housing market is helping to drive home sales in the Bitterroot Valley, said Realtor Sheri Jones.

“The market is better in places like California and Washington,” Jones said.

“Retirees are selling their places there and coming to Montana.

Our market improves when the housing market improves all over the country.”

ELENA – So last week we finally got the numbers on what you’ll pay for a subsidized health insurance policy under “Obamacare.”

For a lot of people, it looks like a pretty good deal, paying monthly net premiums of $100 or less for quality coverage.

But then MIKE comes the next DENNISON question: Will people actually buy these policies? Will this huge experiment with governmentfinanced, private health insurance really work?

And another question: How much will it all cost? Might these extensive subsidies cost more than expected, and break the federal bank?

Good questions all – but we’re not likely to get definitive answers anytime soon.

Still, it’s pretty clear what must happen if this new policy is to be considered anything close to a success: Millions of people without health insurance must sign up and buy these new policies.

What started as an exchange of text messages about a violin listed on Craigslist ended with a death threat last week in Missoula.

“I am interested in buying your VIOLIN – $249,” read a text to Missoula resident Terry Burke on July 28.

Later, the person identified himself as Frank Moss of

Sylacauga, Ala., and offered to send a copy of his passport.

When Burke, a certified public accountant, didn’t cash a $1,650 certified check that Moss sent for to purchase the violin, the tone of the messages became much more sinister.

“Are you trying to play games with me? I only give you 24 hrs to get back to me with the rest of the fund or else I will assassinate you and your entire family. I have full

name and address with me to look and search for you. Good day,” Moss wrote in a text Aug. 13.

Then, the final message, sent the next day: “Where is my money?”

Burke didn’t think anything was amiss initially – he had successfully sold several items before using Craigslist.

After giving the person his business address to mail a certified check to, Burke received

a confusing text: “The check of $1650 will be sent to you the excess funds will goes to the mover before coming for the pick up. Pick up will be done after the check has cleared from your bank. I am willing to offer some fund to cover your stress and strain toward getting it done.”

“That’s when the flag came up,” Burke said.

The case involved the theft of coins from Wayne Miller Coins in downtown Helena on May 2011.

Police tried to question Temple at a probation office that same month about the thefts but say he fled in a pickup.

An officer says Temple tried to run him over and he shot Temple in the lung.

Temple drove himself to the hospital.

Temple was charged with assault but a district judge threw out the charge after citing police mishandling of evidence.

Police arrested Richards later that day after determining he was intoxicated.

In July, Richards was charged with three felony counts of criminal endangerment after police say he drove drunk with three children in his vehicle.

Those Siphers expects the sales are usually a demand for homes on relocation or upgrade.”

Insurance Continued

It’s also important that not just older and lesshealthy people buy the policies from the new Internet “marketplace,” because younger, healthier customers are needed to keep the risk pool in balance.

To accomplish this goal, the Obama administration and its supporters are betting on, and throwing a whole lot of money at, a public-private partnership of massive proportion.

The subsidies are projected to cost about $1.1 trillion over the next 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget

Office. For that price, an estimated 24 million Americans will have health insurance through the marketplace by 2023.

That money goes directly into the coffers of private insurance companies, after which the majority of that money filters down to hospitals, physicians and other medical providers in the form of claims paid for insured medical services.

Three firms in Montana are selling policies on the Internet marketplace: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana, PacificSource and the new Montana Health Co-op. If they don’t sell the policies, they don’t get the money.

So, don’t call it

Scam Continued

No one pays extra money for items, he said, so he asked that a certified check be made out to and mailed to his bank. The interested buyer did neither, sending it to Burke at his business address instead.

Burke contacted the Kentucky bank listed on the check he received, and his doubts about its authenticity were verified.

If Burke had cashed the check – which was made out from an Ohio dental company with a Michigan address – he would have been responsible for covering the funds when the check bounced. The “excess funds” given to the “mover” would have disappeared.

“My big concern is how many of these folks are out there taking advantage of individuals with this thing?” he said.

“If there’s a question, don’t do it,” Burke said, crediting following his gut in avoiding being out more than $1,600 and a violin.

While his most recent experience on Craigslist was negative, Burke was quick to say he finds the website to

The person should only release information that they’re comfortable with, and generally if you’re conducting the face-toface transaction, a lot of that can be avoided.

– Scott Pastian, a detective sergeant with the Missoula Police Department be a helpful tool for buying and selling locally, and will use it again.

Craigslist warns of scams and provides tips for avoiding them, but the site still is used as a medium for fraud.

Another common scam hits potential renters, said Scott Pastian, a detective sergeant with the Missoula Police Department.

Scammers post ads for rental properties that are

Sales of homes on lots in town were not quite as brisk during the same period.

In the first half of last year, 79 homes in town sold. This year, 86 homes sold during the same period. The average price of a home sold in one of the Bitterroot Valley’s towns rose by 6 percent from $130,455 to $139,492.

Bare land sales continue to struggle. Siphers expects that may be the case for some time due to a glut of lots on the market at this point.

In the four-year period between 2003 and 2007, Siphers said, there were about 1,700 lots approved by the county’s planning board.

“And then the housing market just stopped,” he said. “So now, there are subdivisions that haven’t been built on. There are subdivisions with 50 or more lots with nothing more than one or two houses in them.”

When the housing market was booming, Siphers said some fiveacre lots sold for upward of $220,000.

“And now they are asking $75,000 and they’re still not selling,” he said.

That reduction in bare land prices eventually could lead to some additional building, but Siphers doesn’t expect to ever see the same kind of land rush that occurred in the 1990s.

The government and the companies selling the polices must convince millions of Americans that private health insurance is not a ripoff, is affordable, and is worthwhile, even if you’re healthy. Will it work?

There’s also another subsidy many people don’t know about. Next year, everyone with health coverage – those in group plans, self-insured plans or

with individual policies – will be charged $5.25 per month that goes into a “reinsurance pool.”

This pool will cover portions of expensive claims from people who buy policies on the marketplace, for the next three years.

It essentially creates a financial backup for companies selling policies on the exchange. If the people buying these policies turn out to be

valid properties, just not theirs, Pastian said.

Renters then send deposits to the scammer instead of the real owner, he said; sometimes a third party collects the money.

“So it’s very hard to track, and most of the time it involves multiple states, multiple jurisdictions and it’s very difficult for the victim to ever get compensated for their loss,” he said.

Don’t want to fall for either scam?

Conduct transactions face to face and only release personal information if you’re comfortable doing so, Pastian said.

“I would say that the person should only release information that they’re comfortable with, and generally if you’re conducting the face-to-face transaction, a lot of that can be avoided,” he said.

“And never accept a check for more money than what you’re selling it for,” he said.

Overall, the number of

scams reported to Missoula police has decreased, Pastian said.

It’s unclear whether that trend is because people are better educated about avoiding scams or if people are reporting them to other agencies, he said.

If someone finds themselves in a situation where scammers become aggressive or confrontational, report it to police and ignore any further communications, he said.

A Missoula detective monitors fraud cases, Pastian said.

“But, generally, there’s not a whole lot that we’re going to be able to do to help someone who’s in that situation,” he said.

“Because it’s so difficult to track these people down,” he added.

Rather, it’s private insurance and private providers getting a huge public push and a heavier hand of public regulation, to expand coverage to some of the uninsured in America.

While Siphers anticipates a “nice, easy, steady increase” in the Bitterroot Valley’s housing market through the remainder of the year, he and others in real estate do worry that rising interest rates could put the brakes on the market.

A U.S. Commerce Department report Friday said sales of newly constructed homes dropped 13.4 percent in July, which was the lowest pace in the nine months.

Some economists said an increase in interest rates is to blame. Mortgage rates have risen a full percentage point since May. Jones said the recent increase is helping some buyers to step down off

the fence.

“I see our market here holding steady for the near future,” Jones said.

“Interest rates are creeping up and the stock market just went crazy. Because of that, some buyers might be getting a little nervous.”

Others could see the rising interest rates as a reason to jump into the market before they can get much higher, she said.

“We might have a little bit of a surge,” she said.

“There are those on the fence who might jump in now to just get it done before rates can get much higher.

“We were all very spoiled at 3 percent for a long time,” Jones said.

“Those rates appear to be gone for now.”

sicker and more expensive to cover than expected, this pool helps cover the cost.

So your tax money and a fee on your insurance premiums are helping to finance this grand venture.

The new policies on the marketplace go on sale Oct. 1 and take effect Jan. 1 – the first day of the first year when all Americans are supposed to have health insurance or pay a tax penalty.

For 80 percent to 90 percent of the population, the tax penalty won’t mean much. They already have health insurance or might have access to it, through expanded government programs like Medicaid.

Most of the remainder are expected to buy policies on the new Internet

marketplace. The government and the companies selling the polices must convince millions of Americans that private health insurance is not a ripoff, is affordable, and is worthwhile, even if you’re healthy.

Will it work? Those involved in the program are cautiously optimistic, but acknowledge it may be a long slog, with success measured not within months, but years into the future. But we’ll still get a taste in the coming months, as Obamacare unfolds.

MONTANA

| OBITUARIES | Steven Martin ‘Stevie’ Sidner May 13, 1957 – July 28, 2013 LAFAYETTE, Colo. – Steven Martin “Stevie” Sidner, 56 years of outdoor recreation and entertainment, passed away from natural causes in Lafayette, Colo. His faithful dog Koda died a few days later by his side.

Stevie was Sidner born in Florida. In his teens he returned to Missoula, where his mother, a secondgeneration Montanan, Margorie Kramen Sidner Ebel, was raised. His father, Donald R. Sidner, owned one of the first snowmobiles in the area and introduced Stevie, at a young age, to what would become the Rattlesnake Recreation Area. Stevie camped and backpacked with the Boy Scouts and the Hartse family in his teens. He was on the cutting edge of Missoula’s bike scene before it was cool.

He was a bike racer, then mountain biker, downhill skier, Nordic skier “shuffler” and telemark skier, transitioning into a backcountry skier. He skied from Snowbowl to the Lillehammer Olympics, through the Colorado Rockies and into the Swiss and French Alps, as a both a biker and a skier. Truly an adrenaline junkie, Stevie had “thighs of steel” and was also known as “thunder thighs.”

Stevie began his “outdoor gear” career at the Trailhead outdoor sports shop at age 18 for Charlie and Liz Stevenson, eventually managing the ski rental shop in the winter. He also worked the local bike shop, New Era Bikes, in the summers for Dennis Sparrow and Rick Stevens.

Stevie rode with the best of the best, including Sam and Shirley Braxton. He was involved in the planning of the Bikecentennial as well as the Tour of the Swan River Valley (TOSRV) in the 1970s. Stevie was known to ride the course of the Tour de France before the competitors did, so that he could get a bird’s eye view of “Lance” during the actual race. Stevie was Missoula’s bike guy long before it was cool to ride a bike on Mzoo’s not so bike- friendly streets.

A breakfast at the Old Town Cafe or The Shack with Bill Stoianoff, Mark Buescher or his cousin Ric just before speeding off for a ride or ski, was a frequent pastime. Stevie often prepared for these outings by “Power Dinking” (or getting ready to go). Stevie invented extreme skiing before the term was ever used. He shared an occasional bowl with friends and was always ready to go on an outside adventure.

As a former Boy Scout, not only was he a recreationist, but a true woodsman and environmentalist.

Stevie has many family/friends in Montana, Colorado and the world over including: Koda and Buddy, Ken, Jim, Mark, Craig, Martha, Marty, Sandy, Cari, Charlie

Ferris E. Clouse

and Liz, Mark, Dennis, Rick, Richard, Kathy, Ric and Lam. He spent time at the isolated Salmon Prairie Teacherage as well as at the Styler “flophouse” in the Swan Valley. A full moon ski with a full wine skin, on a mountain lake was his “respite.” Another was picking huckleberries on the trail to Buck and Grey Wolf lakes in the Mission Mountain Wilderness, from the Swan side. He really knew his outdoor gear well. “He tested and used it first.”

After Stevie’s “wonder years” in Missoula’s outdoor scene, he moved on to Boulder, Colo., where he continued his career there in the outdoor sports industry. He worked at Nepture Mountaineering approximately 10 years, eventually becoming a manager. He was hired by Steve Hitchcock to be a sales rep for lines including Marmot, Dana, Mountainsmith, Asnes, K-2, Telemark and Garmont. Stevie was a gear guru. “He could sell an eskimo a freezer in a snow storm.”

There was a time when Stevie saw a female family member with a Dana pack with shoulder straps cut for a man.

A few days later in the mail arrives a new set of shoulder straps cut for a woman. That’s just how he was. He would give you the shirt off his back.

Stevie was a “salt of the earth,” a kind and gentle man. He was comfortable around men, women and kids, especially Lars, whom he often referred to as his surrogate son. Stevie had a broken heart a couple of times but was never broken, even after he survived a catastrophic brain injury after a fall. This fall occurred after an aluminum ladder collapsed underneath him. He never fully recovered from that tragic accident a decade ago.

He eventually had to leave the outdoor industry. After his accident, he could be found in and around Boulder or Lafayette on the sidewalks visiting with friends. Stevie, with his long grey hair and beard, was rarely alone, as his trusty companion, Koda, was always by his side, even up to the end. The beard and long hair showed that “you can take the man out of the mountains, but not the mountains out of the man.” As one friend said, “Stevie was once such a presence and in many ways lost his life 10 years ago.”

Stevie, bike/ski/party/story on! Your Norwegian knit sweater and gregarious smile will be missed by many; however, your mother may not miss that long hair and beard so much.

He was predeceased by his father, Donald R. Sidner. Stevie is survived by his mother, Marjorie Ebel.

Memorials may be sent to BoyScoutTroop1911.org, Poverello Center or a donation of choice.

ONWARD THROUGH THE FOG.

MISSOULA – Ferris E. Clouse, 89, died Friday, July 5, 2013, at home surrounded by his family. He was born Nov. 19, 1923, on the family farm at Pittsford Township outside of Hudson, Mich., to Ferris D. Clouse and Ada A. Stiverson Clouse. His early education was at the Lane Country School, middle school Clouse in Detroit, and high school in Hudson where he was captain of the football team and graduated in 1941. He went to college at Michigan State Normal College, which became Eastern Michigan University, and played offensive guard on the football team. He joined the Lenawee County Masonic Lodge after high school where his father was active.

He enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1942, receiving special military training at Cameron College in Lawton, Okla. He traveled to Europe on the Queen Mary and spent the next five wartime years in England, France and Belgium.

As a Staff Sgt., he served with the Headquarters Squadron, 8th Air Force Service Command in the European Theater of Operations, supervising and coordinating the duties of military personnel in the Air Inspectors Office, maintaining technical orders and handling all military correspondence. He made sure the technical orders were in place for the airplanes involved in D-Day. He was honorably discharged and returned to the U.S. on Feb. 1, 1946, with an amazing collection of the Stars and Stripes and Yank magazines commemorating the achievements of the “Greatest Generation.” He bought a home in Hudson for his mother with his mustering out pay.

Ferris worked in a factory in Hudson, operating an automatic screw machine which made parts for the automobile industry. In 1947 he returned to Eastern Michigan University. He was a member of the Kappa Phi Alpha fraternity and graduated in 1951 with a major in industrial arts and a minor in mathematics. His first teaching job was in St. Clair Shores, Mich., where he taught industrial arts and served as assistant football, basketball and track coach. He met Anna Marie Linehan, who taught English and PE at the same school, in 1952. They were married June 21, 1953, at Fairmount, N.D. They moved to Miles City in 1954 where Ferris was the Head of Shops and Maintenance at the Pine Hills School. In 1955 they moved to Missoula where he Bonnie R.

foundation was dug by hand with the help of his children.

The building has been used to sell fireworks, arts and crafts, fruit, vegetables, greenhouse plants and Christmas trees and wreaths. Ferris spent many years selling fireworks to help Missoula celebrate the Fourth of July. Countless former students always stopped by to tell Mr. Clouse how they were doing. The Clouse family always had plenty of healthy food at the table from their little farm in the middle of town. They supplemented his teacher’s salary with sales from their various entrepreneurial ventures. He was a fixture at the Western Montana Fair, judging the woodworking projects and supporting his children in 4-H and FFA. The Clouse family was the Western Montana “Fair Family” in 1981.

In retirement, Ferris enjoyed building things, remodeling the house and attending events of his children and grandchildren. In the summer you could see him nurturing the plants in the garden and tending to his favorite roses and peonies, and he was even willing to share the secret to growing sweet corn with others. He loved his Farmall Cub tractor which he used to cut weeds and plow gardens. Now that tractor is a fixture at the Pink Grizzly and you can almost always see a young boy or girl sitting on the seat moving the steering wheel back and forth.

Ferris and Anna Marie celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on June 21 and a party on June 22. He spent the last two weeks of his life at home under the excellent care of Missoula Hospice. He took a memorable trip outside in a wheel chair to see his raspberry bushes, flower beds, the Pink Grizzly greenhouse and the Pink Grizzly fireworks stand. It is fitting that a veteran would celebrate one last Fourth of July with a spectacular fireworks show by his grandsons. He passed away at 10:55 a.m. on July 5 surrounded by his family and under the great care of his Missoula Hospice nurse.

Preceding him in death were his parents, Ada A. Stiverson Clouse, Ferris D. Clouse and his one brother, Luther E. Clouse. He is survived by his wife, Anna Marie Linehan Clouse; four daughters and four sons and their families: Lynne Mickelson (Dennis) of Missoula, Sarris Marsh (Jeff) of Sheridan, Shannon Brown (Taylor) of Huntley, Shawn Clouse (Nancy) of Missoula, Daniel Clouse (Laurie) of Missoula, Brooke Trudel (Wayne) of Elko, Nev., Clint Clouse of Colorado Springs, Colo., and Shane Clouse (Kelly) of Lolo; plus 17 grandchildren, and two greatgrandchildren.

He was a life member of the University of Montana Alumni Association, National Industrial Arts Association, NEA, MEA and Phi Delta Kappa.

Donations can be made to the Ferris E. Clouse Memorial Fund at First Interstate Bank on Front Street in Missoula.

The funds will be used to sponsor a 4-H Woodworking award at the Western Montana Fair, a scholarship for Hellgate High School students wishing to study industrial arts or to Missoula Hospice.

A rosary service was held on July 6 for family at Garden City Funeral Home. There will be a military honor guard service at the Western Montana Veterans Cemetery, 1911 Tower St., in Missoula on Friday, Aug. 30, at 2 p.m.

Father John Wang will conduct the memorial service on Saturday, Aug. 31, at 3 p.m. at the Pink Grizzly, 1400 Wyoming St., with a reception and barbecue to allow for fellowship and time to celebrate Ferris’ life with his wife and their large extended family. Honorary pallbearers are his 17 grandchildren.

MSU students hit paydirt at Virginia City excavation Thousands of artifacts unearthed as project draws attention of tourists

By AMANDA RICKER Bozeman Daily Chronicle

VIRGINIA CITY – Over three weeks this summer, Montana State University students have unearthed thousands of artifacts from a vacant lot in this old gold mining town.

The archaeological finds include toy guns, leather shoes, dentures, a cat figurine and a doll’s eye.

Bozeman junior John Olson dug up a “mustache cup.”

Mahoney said. And in addition to educating passers-by, teachers have come from across Montana.

The teachers spend a day digging and go back to their schools with lesson plans about archaeology.

“It’s really kind of fun to have all of that impact with just this one site,” Mahoney said.

In a building adjacent to the excavation site, students cleaned and cataloged artifacts.

One student dipped pieces of green, blue, black and clear glass in a bowl of water and scrubbed the dirt off of them with a toothbrush.

Meanwhile, another student pulled out some of the most interesting finds.

Tessa Heinemann, a senior from Big Timber, held up a pair of cheater cufflinks with a clip so the wearer could stash a card up the sleeve. She also brought out a piece of ivory that might have been attached to a brush or a mirror. The ivory was stamped with the words “made in France.

“We have something else really creepy, you wanna see it?” Heinemann said, heading to a back room to get a cardboard box.

She opened it and held out a dirty piece of porcelain about the size of a quarter. “It’s a doll’s eye.

You can see the iris there and the pupil,” she said, flipping it over. “On the other side, you can see where it looks like it was attached to a head.”

One of Heinemann’s favorite artifacts is the studded sole of a leather boot. It’s hard to find organic substances like leather in such good condition, she said. And studded boots are particularly interesting because they were used in bare-knuckled fights.

Fighters were allowed to have studded boots for grip.

In Virginia City, bareknuckled fights are legendary.

Virginia City is said to be home to the longest bareknuckled fight in American history. The story has it that blacksmith Hugh O’Neil and saloon owner Con Orem went 185 rounds bare-knuckled. After round 185, Orem was severely injured, the judge stopped the fight and called it a draw. The crowd was pleased that both fighters were able to split the pot.

MSU students and faculty will be busy for years researching and recording the discoveries, Mahoney said.

“We have found thousands and thousands and thousands of artifacts,” she said.

Joseph G. Svien NAPA, Calif. – Joseph G. Svien, longtime resident of Glasgow and more recently Missoula and Napa, Calif., passed away on Thursday, Aug. 22, 2013, in Napa.

The second oldest of six children, Joe Svien was born on Sept. 2, 1918, in Erskine, Minn., the son of Oscar and Selma Svien.

He was the beloved husband of the late Bess Svien (Domier), whom he married on July 13, 1946, and preceded him in death on Oct. 26, 2008.

He was the father of Deborah (Mike) Relaz of Arlington Heights, Ill., and Ron (Jackee) Svien of Napa; grandfather to Steven Relaz, Eric Relaz, Jessica Svien, Joseph N. Svien and Arielle Svien. He was also great-grandfather to Rebecca, Amanda, Sarah, Connor, Olivia, Jason and Alexzander.

He was the brother of Olga (Sidney) Ostenaa and Lillian Enevold.

Joe grew up in McIntosh, Minn., and was a World War II veteran. He was honorably discharged from the Army in 1946 as a Warrant Officer in Oakland, Calif.; he was the recipient of the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. Joe eventually moved to Williston, N.D., where he was involved in the automotive business and moved to Glasgow in 1960 to own and operate his own auto repair and commercial glass businesses. He was a resident of Glasgow for many years and was a longtime member of the Sunnyside Golf & Country Club and the Glasgow Elks Lodge.

His wife, Bess; parents, Oscar and Selma Svien; brother Ralph Svien and sisters, Helen Dyrdahl and Marion Knudson, preceded him in death.

Cremation has taken place and a private family service will be held in Glasgow later this year.

Officials filed the request in Gallatin County District Court on Friday to prohibit Gene Morgan from running Morgan Court.

County officials also

contend there are more trailers on the seven-acre property than allowed and that there are unpermitted sewer systems and unauthorized connections.

County officials say in the complaint they became aware of the problem May 16 when the Montana Department of Health and Human Services notified county officials of a hantavirus illness and death possibly related to the Morgan Court.

Labor contract includes 3.1 percent increase for Butte school principals, administrators

By RENATA BIRKENBUEL Montana Standard

Butte school district administrators and principals voted 13-0 this week to ratify a two-year labor contract offer that gives them a 3.1 percent wage increase in 2013-14.

The tentative pact allowed for a 1.5 percent increase in 2014-2015.

With the increases, the annual gross salaries range from $67,792 to $99,244 for the first year and $71,289 to $103,982 for the second year, according to Therese McClafferty, human resources director for the Butte school district.

WYOMING Wild horse adoption event starts Friday RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) – The U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the Wyoming Honor Farm have scheduled a wildhorse adoption for Aug. 30-31 in Riverton.

Trustees must OK the contract before it goes into effect.

The new contract also gives them nothing toward medical insurance the first year, but $25 per month the second year.

One sticking point concerned medical insurance, and the union refused to negotiate that request.

Had the union agreed, any Teamster (principal or administrator) hired after July 1, 2013, would not have received a contribution toward health insurance premiums during retirement.

Retirees will continue to receive the employer

Reach reporter Renata Birkenbuel at Renata.birkenbuel@ lee.net or at (406) 4965512.

This is the 25th year of a partnership between the BLM and the Honor Farm, a minimum-security correctional facility. The BLM provides wild horses rounded up from Wyoming’s public lands and Honor Farm inmates train the horses to be gentler in preparation for adoption.

The BLM says the program has helped place some 3,500 wild horses with owners.

On Aug. 30, the Honor Farm will host a clinic to explain the gentling process and people will be able to view the latest horses offered for adoption. The horse auction is set for Aug. 31.

contribution to their health insurance for 10 years.

The union had asked for an increase in the cap on administrators’ experience factor – that is, a percentage increase for each year of experience.

The district said no.

The Teamsters’ previous two-year contract expired June 30, 2013. It was negotiated following a two-day strike that closed schools in early September 2011.

Live music, though, was a big draw, said Melanie Brock, acting executive director for the Missoula Downtown Association, which puts on the weekend-long event.

“People are really excited about the bands,” Brock said.

About 15,000 people are expected to check out the festival this year, she said.

The free event gives families something fun to do and provides a boost for downtown businesses, she said.

Members of Montana’s stellar linebacker corps enjoy a light moment before practice recently at the Riverbowl. The Grizzlies have cultivated strong team chemistry this year and are hoping it will pay off on the field Saturday against Appalachian State. Shown from left in the front row are Connor Lebsock, John Kanongata’a, Addison Owen and co-captains Jordan Tripp and Brock Coyle. In the back, from left, are Kelsey Lippert, Jeremiah Kose, Kendrick Van Ackeren, Tucker Schye and Connor Strahm.

Unique chemistry could be difference-maker for ’13 Griz

By BILL SPELTZ of the Missoulian

Cohesiveness can’t kick a field goal or catch a pass across the middle.

It’s an intangible. For the casual football fan it’s not something to brag up the night before a game. For the 2013 Montana Grizzlies, it seems to mean everything.

“I’ve been here five years and as a whole this team is closer than any team I’ve been on,” UM senior wide receiver Cam Warren said. “That togetherness was the biggest thing we needed to work on.

“Everybody comes and competes every day in practice. But as a whole we’re fighting for each other. It’s no secret we’ve been through a lot of adversity the last couple years. We know what we’ve been through together and it just makes us stronger.”

Second-year head coach Mick Delaney, whose squad stumbled to a 5-6

Inside Jordan Trip p Position-by -posit breakdown ion Schedule Pages C6-7

record in 2012, called his players together back in January to sell them on the importance of togetherness. When you’re working with 95 young men on hot August days there’s bound to be a rift or two.

But something unique has taken shape.

Stranded runners cost O’s in loss

Delaney’s words struck a chord in the vocal leaders on the Grizzly team. The big imposing types who never take any lip like linebackers Jordan Tripp and Brock Coyle and 6-foot-8, 350-pound offensive tackle Danny Kistler Jr. They believe in the Golden Rule and it shows in preseason practice. One minute you might catch Tripp with his arm around a young teammate, kindly offering advice. The next you’ll spy Coyle barking encouragement to young offensive personnel from across the line of scrimmage after a lapse in concentration.

“In the past it’s been maybe a little bit saltier, a little bit different between the younger guys and the older guys,” Tripp mused. “First thing I said to the team when we came in for camp was, ‘Look, there’s nobody any different from a See CHEMISTRY, Page C5

ecently I received an impassioned email from a Montana football fan who made a great point about Saturday’s home opener against Appalachian State.

According to information provided by the NCAA, the Mountaineers led the FCS in attendance for the fifth time in six years in 2012 with a declared average of 26,358 fans per contest. Montana was next at 25,236 and James Madison a distant third at 22,783.

But here’s the thing: Appalachian State’s Kidd Brewer Stadium has a listed seating BILL capacity of 24,050.

SPELTZ Montana’s Washington-Grizzly Stadium seats 25,217.

So what’s the deal? Obviously the Mountaineers are counting a lot of fans watching from areas without seating. Or, as that impassioned Griz fan, former UM trackster Mark Latrielle, wrote to me in his email, “They’re allowed to count the folks who are admitted and sit in the surrounding bushes and trees ... (which) seems like counting folks on Mount Sentinel.”

GOLF ROUNDUP

Woodland, Kuchar tied at Barclays

By DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

Missoulian

OREM, Utah – Colin Bray, the game-tying run, stood 90 feet away at third base. He’d done all he could just to get that close. His teammates would leave him there.

The Osprey remain winless against the South Division-leading Orem Owlz after dropping a 7-6 Pioneer League game Saturday. Missoula batted 2 for 14 with runners in scoring position, but none so painful as the final one.

Down by two runs with two runners Owlz 7, in scoring position, Justin Williams grounded out to the right side to score Osprey 6 one and bring Missoula (25-37, 9-15 Sunday second half) within a run. But with two Missoula (Perez 4-5) at Orem (Swanson 2-0) outs, Jose Queliz’s swinging strikeout Brent Brown Ballpark sealed the final.

4:05 p.m.

The Osprey drop 10 games behind Radio: ESPN North Division leader Great Falls with Montana 97.5 FM the close loss, the fourth in four games versus the Owlz.

Orem (35-26, 15-8) thrust ahead with four runs off Osprey relievers in the sixth, breaking a 2-2 tie.

Matt Kuchar holds up his ball after making a birdie on the 14th hole during the third round of The Barclays on Saturday in Jersey City, N.J.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Matt Kuchar and Gary Woodland began their week at The Barclays by going to Citi Field and getting a tour of the clubhouse, where Kuchar noticed an indoor batting cage and asked if they could try it out. He stood behind the net and threw to Woodland, a promising baseball player in high school.

“Gary hit and was really impressive,” Kuchar said. “I didn’t hit and didn’t show anything differently, but Gary was impressive swinging a baseball bat.”

Woodland isn’t too bad with a golf club in his hands, either.

Playing with Kuchar in the final group, Woodland ran off four straight birdies Saturday afternoon with another powerful display of his athleticism and shot a 3-under 68, giving him a share of the lead with Kuchar going into the final round at Liberty National.

The questionnaires will be used to write fall sports previews that will begin appearing on Aug. 27.

Coaches need to complete the questionnaires and return them to the Missoulian as soon as possible in order for their team to be included in the previews.

If you did not receive a questionnaire, contact the sports department at sportsdesk@ missoulian.com.

NATIONAL Mauer to remain on concussion list CLEVELAND (AP) – The Minnesota Twins say All-Star catcher Joe Mauer is not going to be activated from the seven-day concussion list when the team begins a homestand next week.

Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said doctors have told Mauer to rest until at least Tuesday, the day he would be eligible to come off the concussion disabled list.

Mauer was placed on the list earlier this week after he became dizzy during his pregame routine. The Twins sent him back to Minnesota from Detroit, and the 2009 AL MVP visited a specialist at the Mayo Clinic on Friday.

It was originally thought Mauer would report to Target Field and possibly begin an exercise program on Saturday, but doctors have decided it’s best for him to rest until next week.

MEET WHITNEY MILHOAN

By BOB MESEROLL Missoulian sports editor

KURT WILSON/Missoulian

Flathead Valley native Whitney Milhoan was recently named the executive director of Casting for Recovery, a group that uses fly fishing as therapy for breast cancer survivors.

SINGLE-FLY TOURNAMENT A single-fly fishing tournament with all proceeds benefitting Casting for Recovery will be held in the Bitterroot Valley Oct. 4-5. See CastOneForHope.org for more information.

Q. What sparked your interest in fishing?

A. My sister actually learned first. We did some recreational fishing as kids, spin casting while we were camping. It wasn’t until my sister was in junior high school that she got into fly fishing. She kind of sparked my interest. Both of us were guiding by the time we were 17 years old for Glacier Raft Company, so by that time we spent a lot of time fishing. I started as a whitewater rafting guide for Glacier and I was a fly fishing guide within a couple of years of that.

Q. How do you become a fishing guide? You must have to be confident in your own abilities.

A. You can easily become a better guide than you are a fisherman. It was a pretty fast learning experience for me, as far as reading the water, and

entomology has always interested me and kind of the whole ecosystem of the river was interesting for me. I had lots of great teachers. There were a lot of super guides up there who were always willing to take me fishing. And I learned a lot just spending days and days on the river fishing, reading water and rowing boats.

Q. What were the best aspects of being a fishing guide?

A. It’s just great to be on the river every day. It never gets old. Every time I fish it’s super fun and exciting.

To be able to be on the river and support yourself doing it is amazing. My sister and I were both able to guide

through college. And it’s also a really warm and fun community. The lifestyle itself is great. Nearly every day we’d come back to the shop with our clients and then head back out fishing because we were right there. There’s always a plethora of fishing buddies to be had once you’re guiding.

Q. Why did you get out of it?

A. You have to commit to a seasonal lifestyle like that and make your peace with that. And that comes along with either skiing in the winter, or trying to work in other career aspirations in the offseason. For me, I was ready to move on from that seasonal life to something with a little more stability. I was guiding several years after college and had been pursuing some other professional endeavors. I was guiding part time all the way through the time I started with First Descents, the nonprofit I worked for for the past seven years.

That opportunity for me

Milhoan joins Casting for Recovery Whitney Milhoan is never far from her fly rod or a place to use it.

The Flathead Valley native grew up on the doorstep of Glacier National Park, where her father was a wildlife biologist.

She developed her passion while following in the footsteps of her older sister, Hilary Hutcheson, who is the co-host of Trout TV. Her hobby progressed into her career, first as a whitewater rafting guide, then as a fishing guide, then as the program director for First Descents and most recently when she was named executive director for Casting for Recovery.

She recently took a few minutes to explain her hobby and its ties to her work.

was the best of both worlds. It allowed me the outlet of outdoor adventure and being able to share that with some of my career aspirations.

Q. Tell me about First Descents and your involvement with it.

A. It was founded in 2001 by a fellow Montanan, a kayaker named Brad Ludden from Kalispell.

Brad was competing as a whitewater kayaker – competing globally – and was at the top of his game at a young age; he was only 18. Around that time his aunt had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She was in her 30s and they’re a pretty close-knit family. It was a difficult thing. He didn’t know what to do or how to help. What he did was he taught her to kayak.

It ended up being this incredibly healing experience for both of them. That was the inspiration behind First Descents. First Descents was initially founded and started in Vail, Colo., where he was living at the time. It

• • • •

started with that one camp in 2001; this year we had about 50 what we call programs across 13 states and four countries, serving about 500 young adult cancer survivors every year.

Q. Tell me about Casting for Recovery.

A. I’ve been following them for years and years.

Back in 1999 I saw an interview with Joan Wulff.

This was at the beginning of my guiding career. She mentioned this organization called Casting for Recovery. I did some research and actually reached out and tried to sell them on a free internship, which they declined. ... It’s a pretty amazing organization. They’re similar to First Descents, but more specific. Casting for Recovery uses the therapeutic sport of fly fishing to help address physical, emotional and psychological challenges for breast cancer survivors.

It was actually founded by a physician and a physical therapist who did some research and found that the actual physical motion of casting a fly rod is really consistent with some of the physical therapy that’s done for breast cancer patients. It’s a pretty awesome concept, to think of fly fishing being therapeutic in the physical sense. Casting for Recovery is based in Manchester, Vt., which is kind of a little fly fishing Mecca itself. They are in 43 states now. They do weekend programs and they’re free to any breast cancer patient at any stage of their journey. The other thing that is neat is they combine a lot of different elements, using the fishing as a catalyst for healing.

They also have some educational and medical components as well.

Romo finds end zone twice as Cowboys edge Bengals Associated Press

(Murray) came back with resolve and I think he still ARLINGTON, Texas – had an attitude after he Tony Romo and the Dallas finished that third quarter.

Cowboys’ first-team I think Jason was making a offense finally got into the point. But the good news is end zone. if you are going to make it, Romo threw for 137 make it with somebody yards and two touchdowns who can take it.” before halftime Saturday Murray, who missed six night, and DeMarco games last season with a Murray turned a short pass sprained left foot, had four from Kyle Orton into a carries for 6 yards before nifty touchdown after that halftime. He rushed eight to help the Cowboys beat times for 45 yards on the the Cincinnati Bengals 24- 86-yard drive in the third 18. quarter that took more “I thought it was than 9 minutes. That important more than ended on his short catch anything just to score when he turned and points and put us in a twisted around five position to have a good defenders for a 7-yard feeling as we finished the score that made it 21-10. preseason with the Romo played five starters,” said Romo, series, matching what the conducting his postgame first-teamers had in the news conference by Cowboys’ last two speakerphone after preseason games, when initially leaving without they managed only a field talking to reporters. “It goal and had two fumbles. was something we needed The Bengals had four to do to cap the preseason turnovers.

Romo 16 for 113 yards. Pro Bowl and the starters almost receiver A.J. Green had certainly won’t play three catches for 42 yards Thursday night in the after missing the first two preseason finale against preseason games with a Houston.

But there was a fumble bruised left knee.

by Murray on the second ELSEWHERE series that the Cowboys recovered at their own 9.

JETS 24, GIANTS 21, OT: At East Rutherford, N.J., Billy Though Murray finished Cundiff kicked a 32-yard field that drive, coach Jason goal with 8:04 left in overtime to Garrett didn’t put the lift the Jets past the Giants. It’s third-year running back on the only time the rivals will play this year unless they qualify for the field again until after halftime – when Romo and the cold-weather Super Bowl here in February. The way the most starters were done.

Jets (2-1) and Giants (1-2) “We had a little inplayed, it’s highly unlikely. The Jets quarterback picture got house resolve about what even murkier, too, despite we would do if we should winning the annual bragging turn the ball over,” rights game. Rookie Geno Cowboys owner Jerry Smith struggled. Mark Sanchez seemingly hurt his right Jones said. “I think

shoulder, and his status is suddenly in question two weeks before the season opener. The only guy who looked good was Matt Simms.

The Jets’ quarterback situation has been the No. 1 question mark for Rex Ryan’s team since training camp opened. The seriousness of Sanchez’s injury was not immediately known, and Smith didn’t look ready for prime time.

BRONCOS 27, RAMS 26: At Denver, rookie linebacker Alec Ogletree ruined Ronnie Hillman’s night with a strip-andscore takeaway and kept Peyton Manning from turning all those passes into points with a big interception. Yet St. Louis lost. Ogletree ripped the ball from Hillman’s arms, scooped it up and trotted 13 yards for the score one week after Hillman’s fumble at the goal line was returned 106 yards for a touchdown in Seattle. Manning completed 25 of 34 passes for 234 yards in one half for Denver (2-1), but Ogletree’s pickoff just before halftime set up Greg Zuerlein’s 58-yarder field goal that gave the Rams (0-3) a 2010 lead at the break.

REDSKINS 30, BILLS 7: At Landover, Md., Washington’s Rex Grossman threw for 171 yards, and Buffalo’s Kevin Kolb left with concussion-like symptoms in the Redskins’ victory. Grossman got the start for the Redskins (3-0) because Robert Griffin III hasn’t been cleared for games following reconstructive knee surgery, and second-stringer Kirk Cousins has a sprained right foot. Grossman completed 11 of 21 passes with one touchdown. Kolb started for Buffalo (2-1) after first-round pick EJ Manuel hurt his left knee in the Bills’ previous game. But Kolb was kneed in the back of the helmet after a scramble in the first quarter, leaving undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel as Buffalo’s only healthy quarterback. Tuel completed 10 of 17 passes for 63 yards.

COLTS 27, BROWNS 6: At Indianapolis, Andrew Luck threw two scoring passes, and Indianapolis’ defense did not allow a touchdown for the second straight week as the Colts beat Cleveland. The Colts (2-1) scored on the opening series of both halves before Luck and most of the starters exited early in the third quarter.

Luck finished 16 of 25 for 164 yards with one interception.

Cleveland (2-1) managed only four first downs and lined up for only three plays in Indianapolis territory against Colts starters.

Four days after being named

the starter, quarterback Brandon Weeden went 12 of 25 for 105 yards. Trent Richardson ran seven times for 31 yards.

CHIEFS 26, STEELERS 20, OT: At Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger and Kansas City’s Alex Smith fought to a first-half draw and the Chiefs beat the Steelers in overtime. Roethlisberger was 13 of 19 for 166 yards and a 13yard touchdown pass to Jonathan Dwyer as the Steelers (0-3) shook off two lethargic performances with easily their best 30 minutes of the preseason. Smith struggled early but led Kansas City to a pair of scoring drives late in the first half and finished 17 of 24 for 158 yards and a touchdown.

Kansas City’s Jamaal Charles ran seven times for 10 yards in his first game after spraining his right foot earlier this month.

Kansas City (1-2) won it on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Chase Daniel to Rico Richardson on the first possession of overtime.

EAGLES 31, JAGUARS 24: At Jacksonville, Fla., Bryce Brown and Chris Polk ran for fourth-quarter touchdowns, and

Philadelphia rallied to beat Jacksonville. Nick Foles, who lost the starting job to Michael Vick earlier in the week, completed 10 of 11 passes for 112 yards in the second half for the Eagles (2-1). Vick completed 15 of 23 passes for 184 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. He found Riley Cooper for a 9-yard score in the second quarter.

Jacksonville’s Chad Henne, who lost the starting job to Blaine Gabbert earlier in the week but got the start because Gabbert has a broken thumb, completed 11 of 18 passes for 106 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception.

BUCCANEERS 17, DOLPHINS 16: At Miami Gardens, Fla., Miami’s firstteam offense scored its only TD just before halftime on its 17th play inside the Tampa Bay 20, but the Buccaneers scored with 1:03 left in the game to win.

Miami’s starters netted 180 yards playing the entire first half, their most extensive outing in four exhibition games. Ryan Tannehill went 17 for 27 for 150 yards and a 4-yard score to Brandon Gibson with 10

seconds left in the half for a 1310 lead. The score could have been lopsided in the Dolphins’ favor, but Gibson and Brian Hartline dropped potential touchdown passes, and twice they settled for short field goals.

TITANS 27, FALCONS 16: At Nashville, Tenn., Jake Locker threw for 133 yards and a touchdown, and Tennessee sacked Matt Ryan five times.

Locker got both his first TD and the first turnover this preseason for the Titans (1-2). The thirdyear quarterback also posted his best game yet as he completed 11 of 13 passes and finished with a 134.9 passer rating before leaving after a series in the third quarter. Ryan had Tony Gonzalez back after the veteran tight end reported to the Falcons this week. But a Tennessee defense without four starters got to Ryan repeatedly, including three times on third downs. Julio Jones was thrown at eight times with Roddy White resting an injured ankle, and dropped a couple while also drawing an offensive pass interference penalty. Jeremy Shelley hit three of four field goals for Atlanta (0-3).

HEALTHY LIVING

Lose Weight with Ideal Protein “W hat grabbed me is that this is about being healthy, rather than just losing weight,” said an Ideal Protein client. Another told us, “I’m completely off my blood pressure medicine and I’m wearing clothes I wore 20 years ago”. Overall, one of the most common statements from those who use Ideal Protein is, “I have more energy and can do things I wasn’t able to do before”.

This Thursday, August 29 at 6 pm Matz Family Chiropractic will feature Jay Sykes, National Development Coordinator from Ideal Protein. His presentation on Ideal Protein weight loss is free of charge and is open to anyone. Join us at 1519 S. Reserve St. in Missoula for an overview of the program, food sampling, and opportunity to ask questions. Please call 549-2006 to reserve your seat.

Since Matz Family Chiropractic started offering the program in May 2011 we have seen many results, including significant weight loss, the reduction of blood pressure and diabetic medications, as

well as overall improved quality of life. The participants have shed over 10,000 pounds, gained confidence, and learned valuable information on how the body processes food and stores fat.

Equipped with new insight, they have adopted healthier lifestyles and learned how to keep the weight off for life.

Ideal Protein is a safe, effective, medically monitored weight loss protocol offered only in qualified health care facilities. In addition to weight loss, the program has a maintenance phase designed to help participants maintain their weight after they have completed the program. This is truly a weight loss management system. Not a diet, but a process, a life-changing process.

The Ideal Protein foods are approved by the FDA and offered exclusively through approved clinics. The Ideal Protein Nutrition Plan is a moderatelevel protein protocol designed to lose fat while maintaining muscle mass. The protocol was developed 26 years ago in France by Dr. Tran Tien Chanh, a physician specializing in sports medicine, to allow athletes to lose fat while maintaining lean mass. Several years ago, it was introduced in the United States and has spread across the nation.

Participants will see a reduction in body measurements and body fat percentage. Each week, dedicated coaches work with dieters to offer support, encouragement, and accountability during their weight loss.

Weekly coaching equips the dieter with the tools needed to continue with their healthier habits.

If you or someone you care about is struggling with weight loss or related health problems, we would be glad to help. If you would like to sign up for the open house or schedule an individual consultation, call

Osprey Continued

The Owlz chased Michael Blake after he failed to record an out in the first three batters of the inning.

He left with two runners on – two eventual Orem runs – and was charged with three earned.

Raul Linares doubled in a run and Cambric Moye homered in the inning, a pinch-hit two-run bomb.

Despite just two runs over the first six innings, Missoula opened up for some serious scoring of its own in the top of the seventh. The answer started when Jake Miller led off with a home run.

Antonio Alvarez reached on an error before Yorman Garcia doubled him to third. Alvarez was picked off a batter later by Orem catcher Stephen McGee. The out kept the Osprey from pulling even with a Chuck Taylor

Orem tacked on another in the seventh on a McGee RBI single.

Missoula pitcher Adam

Miller threw the first three innings but, after giving up a leadoff single in the fourth to Kody Eaves, the starter came out of the game. Blake (0-1) took over and threw a scoreless fourth and fifth before the trouble in the sixth. He took the loss.

Miller scattered five hits in his three-plus innings and allowed two earned runs. He struck out a batter and walked two.

Garrett Nuss threw the first five innings for Orem, which extended its South Division lead over Idaho Falls to two games with the win. Nuss struck out five and allowed only one earned run, though Garrett Bush (1-1) earned the win in relief.

Jonathan Van Eaton pitched the ninth for the dicey save. Van Eaton now has nine saves to lead the league in that category, one ahead of Osprey closer Silvino Bracho among others.

NOTES: Osprey left fielder Justin Williams went 0 for 5. He had hit safely in all eight games with Missoula since a call-up from the Arizona League. ... The Owlz stole six bases, including two each from Eaves and Raul Linares.

Golf Continued

Kuchar said, knowing that Woodland was within earshot.

Kuchar, who played bogey-free on the back nine in blustery conditions for a 70, remains more polished.

He already has two wins this year, at the Match Play Championship and Memorial, and he is a past champion at The Barclays.

For much of the day they were trading birdies – along with a few bad breaks – and wound up tied at 12-under 201.

Kuchar’s from off the green on the reachable par-4 16th was stopped by a sprinkler, while Woodland putted his to close range for birdie.

Woodland gave back the stroke on the next hole with a drive that plugged into the far end of the bunker, forcing him to blast it out sideways and costing him a bogey.

They are close friends and former World Cup partners.

But the final round at Liberty National doesn’t belong to only them.

Kevin Chappell broke the tournament course record with a 62 – 10 shots better than the average score on Saturday – and was one shot behind.

“In the wind, if you would have told me someone was going to shoot 62 today, I would probably have laughed at you,” Chappell said.

And very much in the mix was Tiger Woods, bad back and all. Woods was just hanging around for so much of the day, gingerly bending over to put his ball on a tee and retrieve it out of the cup. His fortunes turned with two strong shots on the par-5 13th led to birdie, he drove the 16th green for another birdie and finished with a 10-foot birdie putt and a 69. Woods was four shots behind, along with David Lynn, who also had a 69.

“It starts off great every day, and then it progressively deteriorates as the day goes on,” Woods said of his lower back, which he hurt from what he said was a soft bed in his hotel room.

“Hopefully, tomorrow it will be one of those days again. Fight through it and see if I can win a tournament.”

The large group at 7under 206 included 20year-old Jordan Spieth, Bubba Watson, Jim Furyk, Justin Rose and Rickie Fowler.

Chappell’s round was evidence that even in windy conditions, low scores are available. For the former UCLA Bruin, it was really was simple as making putts, most of them in that 10-foot to 15-foot range. There were a few par saves on the back nine, and six birdies on the front.

“I just really holed all the putts that you kind of expect to hold but you don’t always hole,” he said.

Kuchar and Woodland will be in the final group for the second straight day, and they certainly aren’t strangers.

Kuchar represented the Americans in the World Cup two years ago in China. After scouting the Mission Hills course and seeing it was long, he picked Woodland as his partner. The Americans wound up winning their first World Cup title in over a decade.

Woodland is regarded as one of the best athletes on tour – a promising baseball player in high school who first went to a Division II school to play basketball and then transferred to Kansas to play golf.

But he has disappeared since winning at Innisbrook two years ago, mainly from injuries to both wrists. He began working with Claude Harmon III in the spring, and he hired mental coach Julie Elion right before his season turned around by

winning the Reno-Tahoe Open earlier this month.

“I’ve really let my game take over,” Woodland said.

He surged into the lead during a four-hole stretch to close out the back nine – a 5-iron into the par-5 sixth, a sand wedge to 10 feet for birdie on No. 7, a 4-wood for his second shot on the par-5 eighth for birdie, and a 6-iron for a fourth straight birdie on the ninth. Even on the 16th hole, which played 289 yards, Woodland has so much power than he went with a 2-iron and came up just short.

Kuchar caught up by playing bogey-free on the back nine with three birdies, starting with a superb shot on the 10th to 3 feet.

Caroline Hedwall takes lead in Canada At Edmonton, Alberta, Solheim Cup star Caroline Hedwall shot a 6-under 64 in the Canadian Women’s Open to take a one-stroke lead over European teammate Suzann Pettersen and defending champion Lydia Ko. Hedwall, winless on the LPGA Tour, was a record 5-0 last week in Colorado in Europe’s blowout victory over the United States. The 24year-old Swede had a 10under 200 total at Royal Mayfair.

Pettersen shot a 65.

She won the 2009 tournament at Priddis Greens in Calgary.

The 16-year-old Ko had a 67. Last year at Vancouver Golf Club, the New Zealand amateur became the youngest winner in LPGA Tour history at 15 years, 4 months.

Brittany Lincicome and I.K. Kim were two strokes back at 8 under.

Kim had a 65, and Lincicome, the 2011 winner at Hillsdale in Quebec, shot 66.

Top-ranked Inbee Park, tied for the secondround lead with Cristie Kerr, had a 74 to fall six strokes back at 4 under.

Park swept the first three majors of the season and has six tour victories this year.

Kerr was another stroke back after a 75.

Charley Hull, the 17year-old English player coming off a strong performance in the Solheim Cup, was 4 under after a 71.

John Riegger leads Boeing by 3 strokes At Snoqualmie, Wash., John Riegger shot an 8under 64 to open a threestroke lead after the second round of the Champions Tour’s Boeing Classic The 50-year-old Riegger, making his fifth career start on the 50and-over tour, had an eagle for the second straight day and added seven birdies and a bogey to finish at 11 under at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge.

Tom Lehman, Bernhard Langer, Kirk Triplett and Bobby Clampett were tied for second. Lehman had a 67, Langer and Triplett shot 68, and Clampett had a 69.

Hometown favorite Fred Couples was 5 under after a 70.

First-round leader Bart Bryant, the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open winner last week in Endicott, N.Y., followed his opening 66 with a 75 to drop into a tie for 20th at 3 under.

Gonzalez, Fleetwood lead Johnnie Walker At Gleneagles, Scotland, England’s Tommy Fleetwood shot a 5-under 67 for a share the third-round lead with Argentina’s Ricardo Gonzalez in the European Tour’s Johnnie Walker Championship.

Gonzalez had a 70 to match Fleetwoods at 16 under on the Jack Nicklaus-designed PGA Centenary Course.

DEFENSIVE LINE

With 10 returning starters on defense and six on offense, not including battle-tested junior quarterback Jordan Johnson, who missed last season, the Montana Grizzlies should contend for the Big Sky Conference title.

But the schedule is a bear, starting with a home showdown against perennial FCS powerhouse Appalachian State in six days followed by a rematch at North Dakota on Sept. 14. The Grizzlies’ league slate includes games at Northern Arizona, UC Davis, Sacramento State and Montana State.

MICHAEL GALLACHER/Missoulian

Montana junior quarterback Jordan Johnson is stronger than he was in 2011 when he led UM to an FCS playoff semifinal.

The single greatest improvement for the Grizzlies is at quarterback, where Jordan Johnson has returned after missing a season and has adjusted well to the new pro-set scheme. In his last seven games of 2011, Johnson threw for 1,390 yards, rushed for 273 more and accounted for 17 total TDs. His backup is an either/or at this point.

Montana coach Mick Delaney has not announced whether it will be sophomore Trent McKinney or junior Shay Smithwick-Hann, both of whom saw extensive action in 2012.

Junior Jordan Canada is Montana’s top returning running back.

He was the team’s second leading rusher with 586 yards and four touchdowns last season. Look for junior Travon Van, a transfer from FBS Marshall, and sophomore Joey Counts to also get considerable carries.

When Montana does use a fullback, Boise State transfer Jamal Wilson will be the guy. He is a punishing blocker and a capable receiver. Fellow sophomore Gavin Hagfors of Great Falls will back him up.

In the words of G rego foot-3 1/2 Tripp ha rak, the 6s massive arms. “If my arm s looked like them I’d never w ear coach chimed. Tr sleeves,” the ipp’s strength, earned through countless hours in the weight room , is one reason NFL scou ts have been attending UM pr actices.

KURT WILSON/MIssoulian

Montana’s Zack Wagenmann is long on hair and talent with his quickness and strength at defensive end.

Junior rush end Zack Wagenmann, a Missoula Sentinel grad, ranked fourth in the nation in sacks last season with 13 and was Montana’s sixth (tie) leading tackler with 50 stops.

Tackles Alex Bienemann (6-2, 285, senior) and Tonga Takai (62, 315, junior) started all 11 games last year and were honorable mention all-Big Sky Conference.

The Grizzlies have depth up front with the likes of sophomore Derek Crittenden of Whitefish and redshirt freshman Ryan Johnson at end. At tackle, backups include junior Trevor Rehm of Dillon, sophomore Caleb Kidder of Helena and freshman Bo Harris of Fairfield.

LINEBACKERS Seniors Brock Coyle (6-2, 245), Jordan Tripp and John Kanongata’a (5-11, 215) were the top three tacklers for Montana last season. In fact, they accounted for 274 of the Grizzlies’ 912 total stops.

“I’ve said it before, that I would not trade those three for any three linebackers at any level,” Montana coach Mick Delaney said. “They have tremendous work ethic.”

The Griz have quality depth at the position thanks to sophomores Jeremiah Kose, Connor Lebsock, Kelsey Lippert, Addison Owen and Kendrick Van Ackeren.

DEFENSIVE SECONDARY

Hands

OFFENSIVE LINE

Tripp’s grip is exceptionally strong.

Gregorak compares Tripp’s hands to those of former Griz defensive end Kroy Biermann, who plays for the Atlanta Falcons. “Kroy was the master of ripping the ball out, finding the fingertips and ripping the ball. You see Jordan trying to strip the ball because he’s got very strong hands. Kroy was very special but Jordan has that athleticism.”

What a

There has been some switching up front since the start of preseason workouts. The strength is still the right side with 6-8, 345pound senior William Poehls at guard and 6-8, 315-pound Danny Kistler, Jr., at tackle. Kistler was a preseason All-America selection.

Junior Logan Hines may get the start at center because senior Kjelby Oiland has been sidelined since the first week of fall camp with a hamstring injury. Hines started two games last year and Oiland nine.

Junior Trevor Poole has earned a spot as starting left guard after beginning camp as backup left tackle. Sophomore John Schmaing of Billings will start at left tackle with redshirt freshman Max Kelly backing him up.

Tripp

RECEIVERS

Senior Anthony Goodwin and sophomore Nate Harris will likely get the starting nod at cornerback while senior Bo Tully and junior Matt Hermanson will start at safety. Goodwin has been especially good in preseason workouts coming off a strong spring. Hermanson played through a variety of injuries last season and still managed to finish fourth in tackles. The Griz also have experienced backups at corner in junior Joshua Dennard and senior Sean Murray and at safety in senior Steven Rominger and redshirt sophomore Justin Whitted. New assistant coach Jake Cookus has been an asset working with the safeties.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Montana wide receiver Ellis Henderson had 23 receptions last season, third most on the team.

Starting wideouts Ellis Henderson and Cam Warren have made the biggest splash in preseason workouts along with projected backup Jamaal Jones, who transferred from the University of Washington.

Warren will be in the slot with Chase Naccarato serving as his backup. Sophomore Taylor Walcott is also projected to start, although he continues to nurse an injury and is being pushed for playing time by Jones.

Senior Clay Pierson of Twin Bridges sat out some of fall camp with a turf toe injury but should get the nod as starting tight end. He has been impressive in practice with his sure hands. Redshirt freshman Jordan Harper of Great Falls has moved up the depth chart into a backup role at tight end.

Montana sophomore punter Stephen Shaw had 23 of his 54 attempts land inside the opponents’ 20-yard line last season.

Last year’s special teams coach, Kefense Hynson, is calling the plays this season as co-offensive coordinator. Enter Jake Cookus and Ross Brunelle, who will share duties as co-special teams coordinators. Cookus served as special teams coach at Weber State from 2005-2011. Brunelle assisted with Montana special teams last season.

Redshirt sophomore Chris Lider is a good bet to win the placekicking job for a second straight season, although true freshman Ben Worst will make it a competition all season, according to coach Mick Delaney. Lider made 15 of 21 field goal attempts last year.

Punting is a strength thanks to Stephen Shaw, an imposing sophomore at 6-foot-3, 260 pounds. He ranked 21st in the nation last year, averaging 41.83 yards per punt.

Chase Naccarato will lead the return game, though fellow sophomore Ellis Henderson will also have his opportunities to field kicks.

BASEBALL MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP

| SATURDAY’S BOX SCORES |

Scherzer outduels Harvey Associated Press

NEW YORK – During a season of nearly unprecedented pitching success, Max Scherzer relished a rare opportunity to talk about his bat.

“Definitely my own,” he said. “P-100, says Max Scherzer on it.”

Scherzer outpitched Matt Harvey in their AllStar rematch, striking out 11 and hitting a stunning RBI double that sent the Detroit Tigers to a 3-0 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday.

Scherzer (19-1) joined Rube Marquard in 1912 and Roger Clemens in 2001 as the only major league pitchers to win 19 of their first 20 decisions in a season.

But it was his big hit off a hard-throwing ace that had teammates talking – and Scherzer crowing.

“I’ve got a replay and I’m sending a text to everybody right now. It was definitely 96 (mph) down and away, and I laced it for a double,” Scherzer said. “I’m never going to shut up. I’m just going to keep talking trash the whole time.”

Andy Dirks had three hits off Harvey, who gave up a career-high 13 over 6 2-3 innings against Detroit’s powerful lineup. He pitched out of trouble to keep the Mets in the game, but they lost for the fifth time in his last six starts.

Missing injured slugger David Wright, the Mets have managed only two runs during a three-game skid.

They were outhit 15-3 by the AL Central leaders, who got aggressive against Harvey (9-5) despite late-afternoon shadows.

Harvey and Scherzer squared off on the same Citi Field mound 5½ weeks ago in the All-Star game.

Scherzer started and pitched one inning for the American League, which tossed a three-hitter in a 30 victory – same as the Tigers on Saturday. Harvey got the ball for the NL, escaped an early jam and struck out three over two shutout innings to delight the home crowd.

The Mets said this matchup marked the third time All-Star starters had faced each other on another occasion during the same season, according to research by the Elias Sports Bureau. The first two came in the World Series: Mets ace Dwight Gooden opposed Clemens and the Boston Red Sox in 1986, and Red Ruffing of the New York Yankees faced Cincinnati’s Paul Derringer in 1939.

“It’s just something fun to be a part of,” Scherzer said. “I always enjoy facing the best.”

Scherzer, given the best offensive support in the AL at about 7 1/2 runs per nine innings, allowed three hits and four walks in six innings. He struck out seven of eight hitters during one stretch.

“I pitched well today but I didn’t pitch efficiently,” Scherzer said. “I wasn’t quite as sharp as usual, but I thought I made big pitches

ELSEWHERE RED SOX 4, DODGERS 2: At Los Angeles, Jon Lester pitched three-hit ball into the eighth inning, Jonny Gomes’ three-run homer capped a fourrun first, and Boston snapped the Dodgers’ four-game winning streak. The Red Sox began the day percentage points behind Tampa Bay for first in the AL East.

Lester (12-7) gave up one run in 7 1-3 innings, struck out six and walked four.

NATIONALS 5, ROYALS 2: At Kansas City, Mo., Jordan Zimmermann rebounded from one of his worst career outings to go 7 2-3 strong innings and Ian Desmond hit his 18th home run as Washington beat Kansas City .

Zimmermann (15-7) tied St. Louis’ Adam Wainwright for the league lead in wins and sparked the surging Nationals to their fifth straight win, all on the road. The Nationals have won 11 of 15 overall while the Royals have been staggering. After a 19-5 surge gave fans hope for an end to a 27-year playoff drought, they’ve lost seven in a row and 10 of 12.

NATIONAL LEAGUE CARDINALS 6, BRAVES 2: At St. Louis, rookie Shelby Miller worked seven innings of three-hit ball, Matt Carpenter and Carlos Beltran each homered as St. Louis beat Atlanta for the third straight time. Freddie Freeman homered for the NL East-leading Braves, who totaled five runs while dropping three in a row for the first time since July 3-5.

REDS 6, BREWERS 3: At Cincinnati, Ryan Ludwick hit his first homer since last October, another indication his swing is coming around, and Zack Cozart had a tiebreaking two-run shot, powering the Reds to a victory over the Brewers. Cincinnati has won 13 of its last 18 overall, tightening the NL Central race.

MARLINS 3, ROCKIES 0: At Miami, rookie Jose Fernandez struck out eight in seven innings, leading the Marlins to a win over the Rockies. Fernandez (10-5) allowed four hits and did not walk a batter as he lowered his ERA to 2.30. Fernandez has been one of the best pitchers in the Majors since June 1, compiling a 1.52 ERA and 112 strikeouts in 15 starts.

GIANTS 6, PIRATES 3: At San Francisco, Buster Posey had three hits, Pablo Sandoval drove in two runs and San Francisco beat Pittsburgh. Tim Lincecum pitched into the sixth inning after two rocky starts for his first win in more than two weeks. The former two-time NL Cy Young winner walked four but struck out eight and pitched out of trouble in back-to-back innings before giving way to the bullpen.

CUBS 3, PADRES 2: At San Diego, Jeff Samardzija pitched eight impressive innings and Darwin Barney homered and drove in two runs as the Cubs beat the Padres. In his second straight solid outing, Samardzija (8-11) limited the damage to one run in the eighth inning when the Padres twice loaded the bases and cut the lead to one run. The right-hander struck out seven and walked two. The light-hitting Barney, who had three hits, connected for a solo shot in the fifth inning and added a go-ahead RBI double in the Cubs’ two-run seventh.

AMERICAN LEAGUE RAYS 4, YANKEES 2: At St. Petersburg, Fla., David Price outpitched CC Sabathia as Tampa Bay rallied to hang on to first place in the AL East. Evan Longoria snapped a 2-all tie with a sixth-inning RBI single and added a solo homer in the eighth to help reigning AL Cy Young winner Price (8-5) win his fifth consecutive decision. Price improved to 7-1 since a stint on the disabled list for a left triceps strain.

ATHLETICS 2, ORIOLES 1: At Baltimore, Coco Crisp hit a tiebreaking home run leading off the ninth inning and Jarrod Parker earned his eighth straight win as Oakland beat Baltimore. After Parker and Chris Tillman waged a magnificent pitching duel for eight innings, Crisp connected on a 3-1 pitch from Darren O’Day (5-3). It was the third home run in three games for Crisp, who had four hits on Friday night.

ASTROS 8, BLUE JAYS 5: At Houston, Jason Castro homered twice and drove in three runs to lead the Astros over the Blue Jays. Castro hit a two-run homer in the third inning to push the lead to 5-0, and added a solo shot in the seventh to make it 8-4.

INDIANS 7, TWINS 2: At Cleveland, Carlos Santana and Jason Kipnis hit two-run homers, Zach McAllister won his third straight start and the Indians beat the Twins. The win moved the Indians into third place in the crowded American League wildcard race.

ANGELS 5, MARINERS 1: At Seattle, Mike Trout hit his 22nd home run and Jason Vargas allowed one run in 6 1-3 innings as the Los Angeles Angels earned a 5-1 victory over Seattle.

The Angels jumped on top early against Mariners starter Erasmo Ramirez (4-1). After a walk to Erick Aybar, Trout homered to give the Angels a 2-0 lead.

WHITE SOX 3, RANGERS 2: At Chicago, rookie Josh Phegley singled home the winning run with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the Chicago White Sox to a victory over Texas, snapping the Rangers’ four-game winning streak snapped. Texas wasted another strong outing by Yu Darvish, who gave up two runs in seven innings while striking out 11.

IN THE MAJORS Scioscia downplays allegations of rift with Dipoto SEATTLE (AP) – Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia refuted reports of a rift with general manager Jerry Dipoto over differences in opinion regarding moves by the organization.

A report from Foxsports.com Friday stated that the Angels are expected to replace either Scioscia or Dipoto because of continuing “philosophical differences” between the two men.

Scioscia said Saturday such a rift doesn’t exist. “There’s no philosophical differences,” Scioscia said. “Jerry and I

are certainly, as far as our baseball philosophies, in line.”

Scioscia said the only decision he’s publicly had a problem with was the firing of hitting coach Mickey Hatcher in May 2012. Beyond that, Scioscia said the rest is just normal disagreements regarding player evaluations that are common in any relationship between a manager and GM. “You’re not going to agree on everything. That’s healthy,” Scioscia said.

He believes both sides have moved on from the decision to let Hatcher go and he still believes his relationship with Dipoto is sustainable.

He’s always been depicted who, before he had ever started a as somebody who finds the “go” game for WSU, threw for 494 yards route a lot more enthralling than the in an upset of Arizona State in 2011. check-down to the back. The And he’s also the quarterback gunslinger. who mucked through Mike Leach’s That’s not inaccurate.

But freshly departed receiver Marquess in Leach’s world, if the left slot is Wilson, he said, “We love the guy.” more open, even if he’s 10 yards Last month, he said: “It’s just so closer to the quarterback, the ball hard to realize what Leach wants, needs to go to him. because he doesn’t tell you. And he “He probably says this 50 times a doesn’t tell you for a reason. He meeting,” Halliday says of Leach. “ wants you to figure it out.”

‘Go through your reads.’ ” That’s Halliday, a consensus pick As Leach said wryly of his on the preseason Pac-12 allquarterback after a recent interview team. scrimmage, “Everything he does is fast.”

His candor is refreshing, but no

By BUD WITHERS Seattle Times

Leach arrived at WSU in a lot better shape than Halliday, who spent all that first offseason recovering from a lacerated liver.

That meant no weights and precious little conditioning.

He thus missed the spring of 2012, which was ominous in a Leach offense that doesn’t feature a playbook.

“With this offense, you’ve just got to do it, figure it out for yourself,” Halliday said. “I knew the plays, but there’s a difference between knowing them and knowing how to run them. It was really hard for me to learn that while playing.”

His inclination was to take the snap and fling it. He was trusting himself, not the system. Of course, the system doesn’t figure on the 57 sacks WSU allowed in 2012. It’s hard to be patient with a raging passrusher in your grille.

This year, he had a revelatory spring, going through reads, scanning what was given him, settling for the occasional dumpoff. That has been followed by a productive fall camp in his ongoing effort to break some old habits.

Auburn will show whether Halliday has learned a more measured approach.

A degree and a title Gaffney puts baseball aside, returns to Stanford with 2 goals in mind

By ANTONIO GONZALEZ Associated Press

S

TANFORD, Calif. – Every time Tyler Gaffney attended a Stanford practice last year, coach David Shaw teased his former running back that he had one year of eligibility remaining.

Shaw never really thought Gaffney would put off a professional baseball career and return to football anytime soon, not with him playing so well in the minors for the Pittsburgh Pirates. For the most part, he just joked with him about the possibility.

“I’d walk up, and I used to run the wildcat, he’d yell out, ‘Tiger Gaff!’ I’m in jeans and walking up there.

Everyone would laugh,” Gaffney said. “Little things like that, saying, ‘Oh, we’ll see you next year.’ Coach would come up and give me his business card and say, ‘Oh, we’ll talk later.

We’ll talk later.’ ” What Shaw found out later is that Gaffney already had been plotting a return.

After a solid debut with the short season Class-A State College Spikes, Gaffney got the urge to resume his football career and chase the two things missing from his Stanford resume: a degree and a championship.

He wrote out the pros and cons of the decision on a whiteboard with his parents in January. Then, he called a meeting with Shaw to make sure Stanford would welcome him back. Finally, he parted ways with the Pirates – at least for now – to make a run at a Pac-12 Conference title and a national championship with the fourth-ranked Cardinal this fall.

Gaffney said he missed the adrenaline on football game days, the challenge of “moving another man against his will” and lining up with 10 other players as opposed to a one-on-one matchup with a pitcher. At times, he said living with a host family in State College, Pa., and being surrounded by intense Penn State football fans felt like being on another planet compared to Stanford’s serene Silicon Valley campus.

When baseball season ended, Gaffney attended

her challengers in U.S. Open match victories (69).

But, again, her lead over Williams in that category Back into the Serena is a function of a busier Arena we go. Another schedule: Azarenka played Grand Slam event, another 79 matches last year, U.S. Open, and when it Williams 62. In the end, comes to pre-tournament Williams (58-4, .935) had a favorites, boldface names, better winning percentage talk of all-time tennis than Azarenka (69-10, greats, there is no getting .873). away from Serena Nevertheless, Evert, Williams as Topic A. who these days runs a Williams, of course, is tennis academy and works the Open’s defending as a TV commentator, champion, holder of 16 declared Azarenka a major-tournament titles. “legitimate” rival to She is closing in on the Williams. “I think,” Evert Grand Slam totals of Chris said, “that Victoria Evert and Martina Azarenka is the one player Navratilova (18 apiece), that doesn’t fear Serena.

10 things to watch at the U.S. Open

JAE C. HONG/Associated Press

Stanford running back Tyler Gaffney, center, is congratulated by teammates Ryan Hewitt, left, and Chris Owusu after scoring a touchdown during the first half against Southern California during their 2011 game in Los Angeles. After a solid season with the Class-A State College Spikes, Gaffney got the urge to resume his football career and chase the two things missing from his Stanford resume: a degree and a championship. almost every Stanford home game and a couple on the road, including at Oregon when the Cardinal outlasted the top-ranked Ducks in overtime en route to a conference championship and the program’s first Rose Bowl victory in 41 years.

Watching from the sideline and the stands reminded him what he had left behind.

“I wish everybody could take a year off and be a fan for a game just to see what’s going on from the outside,” Gaffney said. “It’s just an unbelievable experience to be so helpless.”

Ever since he could remember, Gaffney played more than one sport. He starred at San Diego’s Cathedral Catholic High School in baseball and football and chose Stanford because of the opportunity to play both, following in the footsteps of Cardinal greats such as John Elway, John Lynch and Toby Gerhart.

In the back of his mind, Gaffney always knew he could come back to football.

NCAA rules allow an athlete to play professionally in one sport

and maintain eligibility in another, so long as they don’t receive money from endorsements.

Elway (Yankees) and Lynch (Marlins) played in the minors before going back to Stanford football.

Gerhart, the 2009 Heisman Trophy runnerup and current Minnesota Vikings running back, turned down an opportunity to play professional baseball. More recently, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson left North Carolina State for a summer in the Colorado Rockies’ farm system before enrolling at Wisconsin for a sensational senior season.

Gaffney’s return couldn’t come at a better time on The Farm. With Stanford career rushing leader Stepfan Taylor playing for the Arizona Cardinals now, Gaffney will get more opportunities than he ever had before.

In his first three seasons, Gaffney ran for 791 yards and 12 touchdowns on only 156 carries. He also caught 17 passes for 187 yards and three TDs. Senior Anthony Wilkerson and Gaffney, who played ahead of Wilkerson two years ago,

will likely receive the majority of snaps. But Ricky Seale, Kelsey Young, Remound Wright and Barry Sanders all will receive carries on what has been one of the nation’s best rushing teams since 2007.

Gaffney embodies that tough, physical style. He rarely runs out of bounds, preferring to go head-on with defenders – a mentality that often surfaced on the baseball diamond, too.

Gaffney, drafted in the 24th round by the Pirates as an outfielder, batted .297 and had an impressive .483 on-base percentage for State College thanks to a style that makes advanced statisticians salivate: He drew 20 walks to 20 strikeouts and was hit by a pitch an unbelievable 20 times in 38 games.

The Pirates retain Gaffney’s contract rights the next four years. He said the organization was surprised by his decision to leave because “they saw me trying to move up and do better. It’d be one thing if I was failing and it was like, ‘Oh, he’s going back to football.’ They said, ‘Pass a physical, and we’ll welcome you back.’ ”

MURRAY’S FIRST DEFENSE: For the first time, Andy Murray will be the defending champion at a Grand Slam tournament – and he suspects he’ll be more nervous than usual in the early rounds.

RAFA RETURNS: Rafael Nadal has gone through all manner of ups and downs over the past two seasons, including a seven-month absence because of knee trouble – he missed two Grand Slam tournaments, including last year’s U.S. Open – plus two more French Open titles and two quick exits at Wimbledon. He’s looked terrific lately, improving to 15-0 on hard courts in 2013 by winning the Montreal and Cincinnati tournaments this month. He’s back up to No. 2 in the rankings, behind only Novak Djokovic.

FEDERER AT NO. 7: Roger Federer’s 17 Grand Slam titles include five at the U.S. Open. He was ranked No. 1 for more weeks than any man in history. He was seeded No. 1 at 18 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments from 2004-08. And now? Well, he turned 32 this month, has fiddled around with a bigger racket, is coming off his earliest loss at a Grand Slam tournament in a decade, and is seeded No. 7.

ANYONE OUTSIDE THE BIG 4?: The so-called Big 4 of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray have combined to win 33 of the past 34 Grand Slam titles, a stretch that began in 2005. Is there any chance anyone else breaks through at this tournament? Any discussion of other contenders must begin with the guy who kept it from being 34 of 34 – Juan Martin del Potro, the 6-foot-6 Argentine with the booming forehand who surprised Federer in five sets in the 2009 U.S. Open final.

THE AMERICAN MEN: Andy Roddick’s name might very well be mentioned as much over the coming weeks as Perry’s has been uttered at Wimbledon. This U.S. Open is the 40th Grand Slam tournament since an American man won a major title, Roddick’s in New York in 2003.

WILLIAMS TRIES TO MAKE IT 2: For all Serena Williams has accomplished, one tiny thing missing from her resume is a successful title defense at the U.S. Open, the site of a couple of her infamous meltdowns. She won her fourth trophy at Flushing Meadows last year, edging No. 2 Victoria Azarenka in a gripping three-set final. When Williams is on, she’s certainly the woman to beat.

Williams is ranked No. 1, which means she’s seeded No. 1 in New York – the last time that happened was 2002, and she won the tournament.

WHO IS NOT HERE: Maria Sharapova surprisingly withdrew the day before the draw, leaving the field without a four-time Grand Slam champion and TV broadcasters without one of the

sport’s top stars. Even more surprising: Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli isn’t entered in the U.S. Open, either, and it’s because she suddenly announced her retirement this month at age 28.

YOUNG AMERICAN WOMEN: Sloane Stephens, 20, is seeded 15th, and the sport’s biggest stages bring out her best tennis: She upset Williams en route to the Australian Open semifinals, made it to the Wimbledon quarterfinals before losing to eventual champion Bartoli, and got to the second week at the French Open, too.

Jamie Hampton, who is seeded 23rd, also made the second week at Roland Garros. Madison Keys is worth watching, too. In all, there are 10 U.S. women in the WTA’s top 100.

MONDAY, MONDAY: For the first time in the Open era, which began in 1968, the year’s last Grand Slam tournament is scheduled to end on a Monday – a result of the push by top players to provide a day of rest between the men’s semifinals and final, instead of the longstanding Saturday-Sunday finish.

Each of the past five years, the U.S. Open wrapped up on Monday, but only because of rain delays. Weather problems should become a thing of the past in the not-too-distant future: The U.S. Tennis Association announced plans to build two retractable roofs. The aim is to have a cover for Arthur Ashe Stadium by the 2016 tournament, although it might not be ready until 2017.

MONEY, MONEY, EVERYWHERE: Another result of lobbying by top players is an increase in prize money at Grand Slam tournaments – the U.S. Open is raising its total payout about 35 percent in 2013, to more than $34 million. That includes $2.6 million each to the men’s and women’s singles champions. A player who loses in the first round of singles will get $32,000. If either Nadal or Williams wins the title, the trophy would come with a check for $3.6 million, because each earned a possible $1 million bonus by finishing atop the U.S. Open Series, which takes into account results on the North American hard-court circuit.

Tech Continued

While the idea of social scientists working at tech companies is not new, “There’s been a shift in the industry,” Wallaert said.

“They used to shuffle these people into marketing: ‘How do we get them to help sell us more things?’ Now, they’ve shifted us into product: ‘How do we actually make the thing better?’ ” Wallaert’s experience is echoed by some other social scientists at Microsoft and at other tech companies that are seeing increased interest in the skills social scientists offer, especially with the rising importance of social networking and big data to businesses.

Many agree their roles have become more integrated with specific product groups within their companies, rather than segregated to marketing or research.

In the past few years, with the rise of social computing and social media, tech companies have come to understand that “it’s not enough to understand the individual user,” said Donald Farmer, a Seattlebased vice president of product management at QlikTech, a software company. “You have to understand them in a social context.”

“There really is no business anymore that sells directly to one consumer,” he said. “Every enterprise is now a social enterprise.”

Jennifer Chayes, managing director of Microsoft Research labs in Cambridge, Mass., and in New York City, saw this change coming about six years ago. She pitched the idea to Microsoft of opening up a research lab specifically staffed with social scientists.

Social science research forms a substantial part of the work of the New England and New York labs, which opened in 2008 and 2012, respectively. Those labs take an interdisciplinary approach, uniting subjects such as machine learning and behavioral sciences.

A number of those researchers are studying some aspect of social networking.

“As technology becomes the mediator of our social interactions, it’s essential that research in technology incorporate deep research in social science,” Chayes said.

“Otherwise, we design

systems that don’t do what we would like them to do for people or don’t do what people would like.”

Microsoft’s devices and services, for example, shouldn’t be thought of strictly as only devices or services. Many of them have social components as well.

“Xbox is a social site,” Chayes said. “Skype is a social site.”

Devices – such as Windows phones and tablets – also mediate social interactions, she said.

Microsoft researchers, for example, are looking into how people find out what music they want to listen to, what musicians they want to interact with, and how to enrich the fan experience – all of which might help the Xbox Music service.

faced by the divisions then help shape what the researchers work on.

“We’ve seen a growing interest and need for the kind of expertise that we bring to the questions of the day around data analytics, and social and mobile technologies,” she said.

Blomberg is doing research on how data is produced – especially in the course of everyday activities – and analyzed, and the ways those analyses are then used within corporations.

“Social scientists are in a strong position to help us understand the sources of data and the way data needs to be understood in order to be taken up,” she said.

Trey Causey, who is working toward a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Washington and recently joined flashsales clothing website Zulily as a data scientist, said there’s still some skepticism among tech firms that social scientists have skills to contribute.

But that’s changing, he said, especially with the volume of data available these days that companies want to analyze.

There’s even an emerging field of “computational social science” that looks at Similar things are social phenomena using happening at other tech computational tools, and companies. that ties together When Ken Anderson, everything from statistics an anthropologist and to social sciences to principal engineer with computer science.

has increased in the past year, the market has been hindered greatly by stricter federal lending policy passed after the housing bubble burst.

“The condo market is still affected, whether it is the lower end or the end, by this recession we’ve had,” Coffman said. “Out of that came a lot of restrictions on financing condos. That has hurt the market.”

Coffman said there has been talk of a work to clarify and relax some lending regulations.

That would help activity in the condo market, he said.

“By making them a little more clear, it’s thought that … it’ll be an easier lending climate,” Coffman said.

interrupted by wildfire smoke on the otherwise clear summer morning.

It’s the kind of setting Eric Hefty imagined when he bought the mostly vacant corner lot almost two decades ago and finally began work on the unique triangular steel structure in 2008.

“We’ve had property since 1984, we’ve kicked around 100 different ideas,” Hefty said.

The Missoula architect and wife Cheryl, the interior designer for the Corner, undertook the ambitious project just as the housing market crashed.

It took several years, but the Heftys have now sold all eight condos and hope as the economy slowly rights itself, the perfect owner for the 4,000 square feet of ground floor retail or commercial space will soon come knocking.

“I think things are coming around,” Cheryl said.

It wasn’t a quick or easy project to complete, but Hefty’s vision to transform the triangular corner lot that feeds traffic into downtown Missoula from both Brooks Street and Higgins Avenue has won praise from a variety of national architecture and steel construction associations that like to point to the Corner as the capstone of the Hip Strip.

In August, Hefty was presented with the Merit award for the 2013 Innovative Design in Engineering and Architecture with Structural Steel awards program.

THE WEEKLY GUIDE TO MANAGING YOUR MONEY

© 2013 Dow Jones & Company. All rights reserved.

WSJ.com/Sunday

Money Moves Every College Freshman Should Make

BY VERONICA DAGHER

ter. Don’t blow that money on spring break! Ask yourself, “Will paying for spring break with the refund leave me vulnerable in other areas of my financial life?” says Mr. Katenkamp.

Put aside the money and use it to lower the amount in student loans you may need to take out later on.

Freshman year may be your first taste of financial freedom.

What you do with the freedom, and the financial habits you develop now, will set the tone for how you’ll manage your money long after you have your diploma in hand.

Here, then, are 12 things every freshman should consider.

10

1

Set a budget Figure out how much money you have (including those graduation checks) and any money you may have coming in (say, from a part-time job). Then, estimate your expenses. Don’t forget to factor in even little expenses, such as beer. Have a heart-to-heart with Mom and Dad about what expenses they can (or want) to pick up and which ones you’re expected to cover, says Judith McNary, a Broomfield, Colo., financial planner.

Once you set a budget, use apps such as Mint or Expenditure to help make sure you don’t run out of money by October.

2

Get educated If your school offers a personal-finance class, take it—it may end up being one of the few classes that is actually useful in the real world. You can also learn more about money and investing by following personal-finance blogs or Twitter accounts such as LearnVest and, of course, The Wall Street Journal.

3

Beware of free hats Lurking outside freshman haunts are likely to be plenty of very friendly people offering free hats and Frisbees. They are hoping you will sign up for the credit card they’re offering. You don’t need to sign up.

But if you do pick a credit card, understand its terms, which may include a high interest rate. Think twice before you use the card and pay off your bill in full each month. Doing so can help you build your credit score, which could matter when you apply for your first job, first apartment or first new car, says Peter Katenkamp, a financial adviser in Albany, N.Y.

4

Understand debt Some debt may be unavoidable but don’t underestimate the burden of a hefty debt load later on. While, say, another $10,000 in loans may seem like just a number today, down the road, it’s real money (plus interest) that you’ll have

You might also get a cheaper rate on public transportation thanks to your student status. You can save with the $20 Student Advantage card, which offers discounts at retailers such as Target.com and Foot Locker.

First, the bad news: Nearly 75% of 2013 highschool graduates who took the ACT college readiness exam aren’t fully prepared for college, according to a new report by the organization that administers the test.

Now, the (moderately) good news: This year, 26% of high-school graduates tested met all four of the exam’s benchmarks for college readiness, up from 23% in 2009.

The report shows that American high-school students are making slow progress toward college readiness and raises concerns about whether they’ll have the skills necessary to fill jobs in the future, says Jon Erickson, president of the educational division of ACT. More than half of all 2013 high-school graduates in the U.S. took the exam, which assesses proficiency in English, reading, math and science.

Nearly two-thirds of testtakers failed to achieve two or more of the four benchmarks for college readiness, and on the test’s science section, just over a third of students met the benchmark.

Do your research Freshman year isn’t too soon to start researching the realistic salary range for your course of study.

“Don’t take out more in student loans than you can realistically expect to make in annual salary within your first three years of being out of school,” says Brian Frederick, a Scottsdale, Ariz., financial planner.

Researching the jobs outlook for a career in your field and picking a career in high demand can make your life easier financially later on too, he says.

Still, don’t study something you despise just because you want to get rich. “Figure out your passion, then figure out the best way to make a living doing it,” says Jack White, a St. Charles, Mo., financial planner.

If possible, spend a few hours on the job with family, friends or alumni in fields that interest you. Also try to find intern, volunteer or related workstudy opportunities.

8

Start saving Saving may seem impossible, and even unimportant, right now, but if you learn to do it now, you’ll form good habits by the time you graduate.

You could set up an emergency fund at a free online bank such as Capital One 360 and link it to your checking account, says Paul Dolce, a Dublin, Ohio, financial planner. Have a fixed amount automatically transferred from your checking account to your savings account every month. Just $5 or $10 a month can add up, he says.

9

Use student loans wisely At the end of the semester, you may receive a refund check if you borrowed more than you needed for that semes-

11

Buy a shredder Keep it in your dorm room. Shred any credit-card and bank-account statements that you don’t need, as well as any other paperwork containing personal information.

“You don’t want your financial information to be thrown in the dorm trash where anyone could grab it,” says Michele Clark, a financial planner in Chesterfield, Mo. Guard your Social Security number with your life. And avoid using shared campus computers to conduct online banking.

12

Have fun That’s up to you. But know that after you graduate some of your best memories may be from watching an old movie in the dorm, playing a game of pickup basketball or having a good conversation.

And those are all free.

Students Are Slightly More Prepared

Home prices are continuing to rise at a brisk pace.

The median price of previously owned homes sold in July was $213,500, up 13.7% from a year ago, according to the National Association of Realtors.

That leaves prices just 7.3% below their 2006 peak of $230,400. Prices have risen year over year for 17 consecutive months.

So take school seriously enough to maintain the GPA you need for your scholarships, says Clarissa Hobson, a financial planner in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Welfare Payments Hawaii offers the most generous welfare benefits package in the U.S., according to a report from the Cato Institute in Washington.

The estimates are based on a hypothetical family participating in about seven of the 126 federal anti-poverty programs.

In Hawaii, that translates

into a 2013 package of $49,175. Rounding out the top five areas: the District of Columbia ($43,099), Massachusetts ($42,515), Connecticut ($38,761) and New Jersey ($38,728).

The state with the lowest benefits package in 2013 was Mississippi, at $16,984, followed by Tennessee ($17,413), Arkansas ($17,423), Idaho ($17,766) and Texas (18,037).

To be sure, not all of those who rely on government programs take part in every benefit to which they are entitled, and the most generous benefits are in states that have the highest costs of living.

TIP OF THE WEEK

You Can Avoid Many Card Fees

BY DANIEL LIPPMAN Consumers often look at the interest rate or rewards when choosing a credit card.

But they also should pay attention to the myriad fees, which can quickly add up.

One is the balance-transfer fee, which you pay when you transfer a balance from one card to another with a lower interest rate. The average balance-transfer fee is 3%. Ben Woolsey, a spokesman for CreditCards.com, says consumers should weigh whether a teaser 0% APR for a limited time is worth that fee.

Some cards don’t have or limit balance-transfer fees.

For instance, the Chase Slate card doesn’t assess a transfer fee for 60 days after the card is opened. PenFed Promise Visa, which is issued by the Pentagon Federal Credit Union and requires union membership,

doesn’t charge a fee.

You can ask card issuers to waive the fee, although they sometimes won’t budge, Mr. Woolsey says.

Foreign-transaction fees can typically cost travelers 3% of the amount they charge, says Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com. If you’re a frequent traveler, consider getting, or switching to, a card with no transaction fees. Discover and Capital One cards are among them and you can find a list of others at CreditCards.com.

One in four credit cards has an annual fee, with a median fee of $50, according to a 2010 CreditCards.com survey. But if you’re a longtime customer in good standing, ask if the fee can be waived.

“There are a few things [credit-card issuers] can do to retain your business,” says Mr. McBride. “Waive

the fee for a year, provide a statement credit to offset the fee [or] switch you to a no-annual-fee card in their portfolio.”

You also can look for noannual-fee options at CreditCards.com. But Mr. McBride says cards with an annual fee can “be a decent investment for high-volume spenders” because of the perks you often receive, such as airline miles, hotel points or cash rewards.

Late fees have been reined in by regulators. But they still can be as high as $35, says Gail Cunningham, a spokeswoman at the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.

Avoiding them is easy: Just make at least the minimum payment on time, she says, although you can rack up a lot of debt and pay significant interest if you pay only the minimum balance every month.

Fall Travel Deals: Festivals and Beach Getaways Shop or Else We Drop

BY DANIEL LIPPMAN

BY AL LEWIS

Ah, autumn. Cooler temperatures, kids back in school—and cheap travel deals.

During the “shoulder season,” the time between the peak travel times of summer and the holidays, airfares to many European cities can go down an average of 40% and domestic rates decline by 20%, says Bob Harrell, owner of travel consulting firm Harrell Associates in New York. Hotel rates often have similar drops.

What else is smaller? The lines and the crowds.

The economy will never recover if Americans do not shop, but Americans are not in the mood to shop.

A report released last week

by Sentier Research showed median household income in the U.S. is 6.1% lower than it was in December 2007, just before the economy crashed. Too many consumers remain unemployed or re-employed at a fraction of what they used to make. They’re paying higher payroll taxes and suffering spikes in the price of just about everything they need.

The Federal Reserve may be pumping trillions of dollars into the banking system, but it isn’t trickling down to them.

Our economy runs on spending and consumption, not savings and production.

But credit-card debt has been coming down since the financial crisis of 2008, and a dearth of consumer spending is choking retailers.

Target Chief Executive Gregg Steinhafel reported a 13% decline in profits last week and warned of “continued cautious spending by consumers in the face of ongoing household budget pressures.”

He must have bought that line at Wal-Mart Stores. “The retail environment remains challenging…as customers are cautious in their spending,” said Wal-Mart’s chief financial officer, Charles Holley, a week earlier as the world’s largest retailer reported a slight decline in same-store sales.

J.C. Penney seems like it’s going to be hard-pressed to avoid bankruptcy. It posted another loss, of $586 million.

Ron Johnson—who will be remembered forever as that guy who wrecked J.C. Penney—has been ousted. But Mike Ullman, his successor, can’t undo the damage from someone who thought he could turn a middle-market department-store chain into a highbrow boutique outlet while consumers were cutting back.

“There are no quick fixes to

The U.S.: Forget leaf peeping in New England. The best deals are in locales where the vacation crowds have died down.

Brian Ek, Priceline.com’s senior travel analyst, says places such as Cape May, N.J., and Key West, Fla., have great prices during the fall, as do major cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego and the Washington, D.C., area.

At the Heritage Inn in Cape May, rates drop from $250 in July and August to $125 starting Sept. 15, says Mark Bednar, the inn’s front-desk manager.

With the kids back in school, fall is the ideal time for adults to visit Orlando. You get shorter lines at the theme parks, better golf tee times and some perks for foodies. Walt Disney World is hosting the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival near Orlando Sept. 27 to Nov. 11, says Sarah Gavin, an Expedia spokeswoman.

Expedia was recently showing a hotel-and-air package for two people traveling Sept. 14 to 18 from Atlanta, Washington, D.C. or Chicago to Orlando, with a four-night stay at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando, for around $1,200.

Deals can also be had at many of Florida’s beach resorts.

ShermansTravel.com is showing a one-bedroom suite at the four-diamond Marco Beach Ocean Resort, just south of Naples, for $139 a night on select weekdays in September and October. You get a less-crowded beach, golf courses and the Everglades nearby.

New Orleans is holding the

John Pirman

Louisiana Seafood Festival and the Crescent City Blues and BBQ Festival, running Oct. 11-13 and Oct. 18-20, respectively.

Hotel rates in the Big Easy go down 20% to 30% in its offpeak season (August and September) from an April peak.

Orbitz.com has a round-trip airfare from New York to New Orleans and three nights at the four-star InterContinental New Orleans for about $548 per person, for travel Sept. 26 to 29.

The Caribbean and Mexico: If you’re willing to take a chance on the weather (hurricane season lasts through the end of November) you can save hundreds of dollars on travel to the islands.

In the Bahamas, you can get 20% to 30% off fall travel packages, says Ms. Gavin. Travelocity was recently showing a $1,267 deal for two people, including airfare from Chicago to Nassau and a four-night stay at the Wyndham Nassau Resort and Crystal Palace Casino Oct. 9-13.

According to Priceline.com, round-trip airfare from New York and a seven-night stay at the four-star Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino, for travel Sept.

28 to Oct. 6, is going for about $1,036 per person.

In Mexican destinations like Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, you’ll get a drop-off in prices and no rowdy college crowds.

You also can enjoy festivals such as Mexican Independence Day on Sept. 16 and the Day of the Dead in early November. In Cancun, prices for Mayan temple tours and snorkeling often go down 10% to 20% during the fall, says Ms. Gavin.

Expedia has a three-day package for two people for travel Sept. 22-25 from Atlanta to Cancun, with a stay at the Westin Resort & Spa, for $910.

Go more off the beaten path and you’ll find San Miguel de Allende, a town with natural hot springs and historic cultural sights three hours northwest of Mexico City. The Best Western Hotel Monteverde Express’s website recently quoted a price of $70 a night.

Europe: The continent is chock-full of fall festivals.

There’s the La Mercè festival, with concerts, parades and fireworks celebrating Barcelona’s patron saint, in late September.

From Oct. 18-27, Edinburgh hosts the famed Scottish International Storytelling Festival. Dublin has Arthur Guinness Day Sept. 26-27.

And, of course, there’s Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany.

These festivals are all the more enticing with cheap airfare and accommodations. For instance, you can fly from New York to Dublin and stay three nights at the Maldron Hotel Citywest Sept. 25-29 for about

While Turkey was hit by protests earlier this year, the country is safe and still popular with tourists. Airfare and hotel rates for fall travel are often down 30% from the peak summer season, says Levent Artun, co-owner of Artun Travel in Chicago.

Cruises: Cruise companies will often cut their prices for September and October by 40% to 70%, says Stewart Chiron, chief executive of CruiseGuy.com.

On Carnival Cruise Lines’ Carnival Breeze, an eight-night southern Caribbean cruise leaving from Miami, and making stops at Grand Turk, the Dominican Republic, Curaçao and Aruba, starts at $699 a person, according to CruiseGuy.com. Departure dates include Sept. 28, Oct. 26, Nov. 9 and Nov. 23.

And due in part to the continuing economic woes in the European economy, Mr. Chiron says, there are good opportunities to cruise around Europe.

A seven-night cruise on the Norwegian Jade—departing from Venice, Italy, and visiting Corfu, Santorini, Mykonos, and Katakolon in Greece—has rates of $499 to $779 per person with departure dates of Sept. 28, Oct. 12 and Oct. 19, according to CruiseGuy.com. (Airfare to and from Venice is extra.)

correct the errors of the past,” Mr. Ullman said last week.

Sears Holdings, which also owns Kmart, should be applauded for the fact that it is still around. It reported a 1.5% drop in same-store sales.

Barnes & Noble said its latest quarterly loss doubled, to $87 million. Yeah, I know, who reads books anymore?

Retailers that should have died a long time ago aren’t the only ones hurting. Macy’s reported disappointing results and pulled back on its forecast as well. “Much of our weakness is due to the health of the consumer,” said Chief Financial Officer Karen Hoguet.

Do you see a pattern here?

Because not everyone does.

“We think this is just one of those shorter-term blips,” said Michael Koppel, chief financial officer at Nordstrom, which reported higher sales, but lowered its future guidance.

“The reasons for the weak traffic are not entirely clear,” said Mike Jeffries, CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch. “Our best theory is that while consumers in general are feeling better about the overall economic environment, it is less the case for the young consumer.”

Maybe it’s just that pesky 23.7% unemployment rate for teenagers.

Many people who follow retail say the overall results were “mixed.” One bright spot was Best Buy, which reported a 13% surge in profits. But this was largely from cost cutting at a chain that’s still in danger of becoming the next RadioShack.

Same-store sales, and overall revenues, were down, but not as bad as previous quarters.

Home Depot’s earnings were up 17% and Lowe’s 26%. Home Depot CEO Frank Blake credited “the recovering housing market.” We’ll see how long that lasts as mortgage rates climb back to normal levels.

A Robocall? Don’t Press Anything. New Rules for Reverse Mortgages

BY JENNIFER WATERS Have you heard this before?

“Hello! The FBI estimates that there are three break-ins every minute and urges you to take steps to prevent this from happening to you. If you allow us to put a small sign in front of your home, we will install a security system at no charge to you.”

It’s the introduction to one of many annoying daily robocalls millions of Americans receive on landlines and, increasingly, on cellphones.

Some are legitimate, but sales calls like that mostly aren’t. For now, short of filing complaints—and you always should—there is little you can do to stop them. But you can avoid answering the calls. And new technology may be coming soon that could intercept them even before your phone rings.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re on the Do Not Call List,” says Lois Greisman, associate director of marketing practices at the Federal Trade Commission.

“A lot of them are fraudulent calls and people who engage in fraud are not going to abide by the Do Not Call registry.”

It’s big business. The Justice Department estimates that U.S. consumers get bilked $40 billion annually. The FTC is logging 140,000 to 200,000 robocall complaints monthly and has tackled the bad guys through 100 lawsuits over the past decade, which has prevented billions of calls from being made.

Congress also is calling on telephone carriers to find a tech-

nology solution to blocking the millions of daily calls.

A robocall is what you hear when you answer the phone from an autodailer with a taped message, sounding like a robot.

Millions of calls are made instantaneously and could be targeted directly at you or totally at-random dialing that stumbles upon your number.

If the call turns out to be a politician or a charity, their solicitations are lawful. You might also get robocalls from your children’s school informing you of canceled classes, an airline warning you of a flight delay or a doctor’s office reminding you of Tuesday’s appointment.

Those are legal because you gave them permission. But sales pitches you didn’t knowingly give your written OK to aren’t.

Here’s how robocalls work: In the call above, the robo continues with, “If you’re interested in a free security system, press 1 now. If you want to be put on the Do Not Call list, press 9 now.”

If you press 1, the call could go dead, which likely means your number has been fed by the lead generator who alerted someone who will call you a minute later, an hour later, days later or all of them. Your action has let the lead generator, who is being paid to find potential buyers, know that your number is “live” or working.

Pressing 1 might also transfer you to an aggressive sales associate. Be ready for a hard sell, which might include asking for more information like your name and address. You might

then get directed to another live person asking for credit-card information to cover the shipping costs of your “free” security system. They might offer add-on services that will add on costs.

Or you could be transferred to a courtesy robocall that will thank you for your interest and inform you that someone will be getting back to you. That opens the flood gates. Now you’re on a hot list. The same could happen if you press 9.

“You have expressed interest and your number is on one list or a number of lists,” Ms. Greisman says.

Should you encounter such calls, file a complaint at the FTC’s donotcall.gov site.

By as early as mid-September, you should be able to connect to Nomorobo.com for a service developed by software programmer Aaron Foss, who won $25,000 in the FTC’s challenge for a robocalls solution. By signing on, free, calls that come into your phone also are directed to Nomorobo’s smart service, which analyzes frequency and blocks calls on a black list of known offender numbers. It isn’t 100% foolproof, but it’s an extra layer of protection.

Here’s what else you can do: Don’t answer unfamiliar numbers.

Hang up immediately.

Never give out personal information.

Call your phone provider but be wary of fees tied to blocking calls.

It may have been bought, taken from a public listing or guessed.

You press 1 to talk.

You press 2 to be removed from the list.

Your number is added to a hot list!

You’re transferred...

You’re qualified

Your request is probably ignored.

to a ‘qualifier’ that asks questions to see if you fit the profile of someone they can sell to.

monthly payments. The loan is due, with interest, when the borrower dies, moves or sells the house.

Regulators plan to merge the two types of reverse mortgages on the market today: the “standard” loan, which currently allows borrowers to tap from 56% to 75% of a home’s appraised value, depending on their age, and the “saver” loan, which currently pays from 4 to 16 percentage points less. The agency has yet to announce the new limit.

Going forward, most homeowners will be able to borrow less than they currently can with a “standard,” but more than they can with a “saver,” says Peter Bell, president of the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association. Regulators also plan to cap the amount many borrowers can tap during a loan’s first year.

Consider a homeowner with a $300,000 property who is eligible to borrow $175,000. Assuming FHA enacts a 60% firstyear cap, the borrower will be able to take an upfront payment of up to 60% of the $175,000 loan, or $105,000. Because fixed-rate reverse mortgages currently require borrowers to take everything at

once, only those opting for variable-rate loans will have access in later years to the balance (of $70,000 in the above example).

Those who need more than 60% of the loan upfront to pay off a regular mortgage—a requirement—can immediately take the amount they need, up to the entire proceeds ($175,000 in the above example). But such borrowers will have to pay a higher upfront fee for the loan, says Mr. Bell.

(FHA has yet to determine the exact amount.)

The changes are designed to curtail the popularity of reverse mortgages that issue large lump-sum payments, a breed that has helped fuel a rise in defaults to nearly 10% of loans outstanding. Defaults occur when homeowners fail to pay property taxes and homeowners insurance.

Regulators also plan to require lenders for the first time to assess borrowers’ ability to cover property tax and homeowners insurance bills, says Mr. Bell. Lenders may require some borrowers to set aside money to cover future property taxes and insurance.

TAX TIP

How to Deduct a Car Donation

BY TOM HERMAN

What’s happening on your end What else is happening

You get an illegal robocall

The rules governing reverse mortgages are about to change, which could mean less money for borrowers. But it also may help reduce the program’s high default rate.

Congress recently gave the Federal Housing Administration, which insures virtually all reverse mortgages, the authority to make sweeping changes to the federal program for older homeowners. Once the new rules go into effect—some perhaps as soon as Oct. 1— fewer homeowners will qualify for these loans, and the maximum amount they will be able to borrow will decline.

Those who submit an application, complete a reversemortgage counseling program, and receive a case number by Oct. 1 will be able to qualify for the higher maximum amounts under the current rules.

Reverse mortgages allow people ages 62 and older to convert home equity into cash.

The bank then pays the homeowner, who can elect to receive a lump sum, a line of credit or

Thinking about donating your used car to your favorite charity?

Handing over the keys saves you the hassles of trying to sell it. It also could result in a handsome charitable-donation deduction on your federal income-tax return. But be sure you understand the often-confusing tax-law basics.

First, you can’t deduct any charitable donations unless you itemize your deductions. Second, be aware of important taxlaw changes that became effective in 2005.

The general rules work like this: Suppose you donate a vehicle you think is worth, say, $3,000. But the charity, or some middleman, sells it for only $1,000. In that case, you typically could deduct $1,000— even though your research indi-

cated the car really was worth much more.

The charity is supposed to report that sale-price information to you.

But there are some exceptions. For example, you generally can deduct the car’s fairmarket value, not the selling price, if you claim a deduction of $500 or less.

Do a little research, such as asking charities whether they plan to sell the car or use it for some other purpose.

You generally may deduct the fair-market value if the organization makes what the Internal Revenue Service calls a “significant intervening use” of the vehicle, such as using it to deliver meals to needy people. See IRS Publication 4303 and others (at www.irs.gov) for details.

The IRS also says donors may take market value when they get a written acknowledg-

ment certifying that the charity plans to give away, or sell, the vehicle to “a needy individual at a price significantly below fair market value” and where the gift or sale “is in direct furtherance of the charity’s charitable purpose of relieving the poor and distressed or the underprivileged who are in need of a means of transportation.”

Be aware of all record-keeping and other paperwork rules.

Also remember that there are certain limits on charitable-donation deductions. For example, you can’t deduct more than half of your adjusted gross income.

This is a company that hit the right timing, the right idea, the right people and the right location. But the fact is, Montgomery Distillery would have remained nothing more than a good idea if owners Jenny and Ryan Montgomery hadn’t been able to connect with the capital they needed. A state-of-the-art still, a professional website, staff – it’s an expensive cocktail of costs necessary to get a business like that off the ground.

Today, this growing company is providing jobs, bringing money into our community and adding a colorful thread to our downtown fabric thanks in large part to investment it received through the MEP Angel Network, a group of local investors who make capital investments of between $250,000 and $750,000 in early stage companies with ties to Missoula.

In spring 2012, Montgomery Distillery was one of the first four companies to pitch its business plan to investors in the MEP Angel Network. Leading up to that pitch session, we helped the four companies develop their presentations and prepare the documents that investors expect to see. As a result, two of the

At our second pitch session, held in spring 2013, another four companies presented their ideas to investors. Since then, three have received equity investment.

Altogether, these investments have put hundreds of thousands of dollars in the hands of entrepreneurs.

Montgomery Distillery may be the most visible result; but other funded companies such as Blue Marble Biomaterials, Rivertop Renewables and Rocky Mountain Biologicals are also busy creating products, growing payrolls and contributing to Missoula’s overall economic growth.

Oftentimes in the past, local people with great ideas have had to look outside the area to get the equity capital they need in order to start high-risk,

high-potential businesses such as these. But since investors usually like to live close to the businesses they fund, that put pressure on those companies to leave our area.

That’s why we started the MEP Angel Network: To develop our own capital networks so that Missoula’s best and brightest entrepreneurs have opportunities to get funded locally and stay here. We are pleased with the successes we’ve seen so far, and expect more to come: Our next pitch session will take place in October, with four more companies presenting their business cases to investors.

In the end, the goal of economic development is local wealth creation and growth acceleration. Not all companies require angel investment; but those that do represent some of our community’s highest growth opportunities. The more we can help those startups succeed, the greater the opportunity and wealth in our community as a whole.

Elmore Leonard, whose character- and dialogue-driven urban tales of con men, hustlers and killers such as “Glitz,” “Get Shorty” and “Out of Sight” earned him a reputation as one of America’s greatest crime novelists and one of Hollywood’s favorite storytellers, died Tuesday. He was 87.

Leonard, a longtime resident of the Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Village, Mich., died at his home of complications from a stroke, according to a statement from his publisher, HarperCollins.

With his lean, hard prose infused with unflinching realism, mordant humor, moral ambivalence and what one critic called “a seemingly

inexhaustible cast of sleazeballs, scam artists and out-and-out psychopaths,” Leonard turned out dozens of best-selling crime novels that transcended their genre.

Frequently set in Detroit or South Florida, they showcased Leonard’s flair for writing pitchperfect dialogue.

“Chili Palmer’s a talker,” Nick said. “That’s what he does, he talks. You should’ve hit him in the mouth.”

–From “Be Cool.”

In reviewing one of Leonard’s books, British novelist Martin Amis once wrote: “Elmore Leonard is a literary genius who writes re-readable thrillers. (He) possesses gifts – of ear and eye, of timing and phrasing – that even the most indolent and snobbish masters of the mainstream must vigorously

covet.”

The Michigan author scored more than his share of fans in Hollywood, where most of his novels were optioned or bought for films.

“You have to put him up there with the greats, like Jim Thompson and James M. Cain,” screenwriter Robert Towne told the Los Angeles Times in 1995.

“His stories have an economy of language that gives his dramatic situations an incredible sense of ballast and gravity.”

Director William Friedkin went even further, telling the Times in the same article: “Nobody who writes crime fiction is even in the same league with him.”

“How am I crazy today?” her father says affably whenever Miller calls as an adult to talk about treatment or causes of hoarding.

Her mother is more regretful. “One day you aren’t going be able to pretend everything was okay, and you’re going to hate us,” she says.

But it is to Miller’s credit that she never

does. Meeting a new friend who confesses that she also grew up with a hoarder parent, they muse over why people stay with hoarders. Her friend is mystified, but Miller says she understands why.

“I did know why her father stayed, and my mother stayed and why we, as children, stay,” she writes. “Life without their stuff just wasn’t worth life without them.”

This is a romance about a family in England in the 1940s that has fallen on hard times.

They suffer loss of income, the death of their mother, and they have a father who is a famous writer that suffers from depression and writer’s block.

Their dreams seem to come true when they meet the owners of the manor and castle where they live, and the elder daughter snags the heir.

Of course, no solution can be so simple, and although the author follows through with some expected developments, Smith brings some unexpected nuanced solutions to the ending. I’m looking forward to seeing the movie.

Students pack their gear up a trail to a meadow on Logan Pass last week for an evening session. The workshop days are long, with photography sessions in the early morning and late evening, and critiques and editing time in between.

After that workshop, you see things differently. You notice things in the world around you that you don’t otherwise notice. I’ve been a lot more aware of things that I’d like to shoot, but also, of just the way things are. – Brian Hartz, RMSP student from St. Paul, Minn.

Carraher, retired from the U.S. Air Force, urges the gusts to quiet.

“Come on, nature.”

Nature won’t play, but Ness has another idea. He suggests Carraher let the wind blow and flowers wave to create an impressionistic image.

“It’s a whole different way to capture the scene, and maybe the emotion of being up here,” Ness said.

On a rocky outcropping above, Doug Affinito uses a long exposure to turn a slight trickle of water into an icicle. He repeats the lessons of the week as he focuses on one fine stream, then on a stronger one.

“I’ve got to patrol my borders,” he said. “It’s one of the things we learned today.”

So he eyes his frame to make sure distractions aren’t creeping over the edges. Below him, a mountain goat wanders through the meadow, but Affinito stays focused on the water until he’s satisfied with his photographs.

“That pretty much exhausts that spot,” Affinito said.

By the time the session ends, the parking lot is nearly empty, the crush of tourists gone.

Down the mountain, a blue moon rises over Wild Goose Island.

A small coyote runs down the road.

When the sun is high, the class retreats to a meeting room, and these photo students might be the only people in Glacier sitting inside with the shades drawn on a summer afternoon.

Indoors, Cooper and Ness offer critiques, peeling apart images projected on a screen to find strengths and possibilities. To reorient them.

“I just keep seeing this as a vertical,” Cooper says as he edits.

There. “That’s the essence of that image, I think. There it is.”

The teachers talk composition, calling for “less rock, more water.”

They talk focus, for getting everything “tack sharp,” and they talk color, software tools, shutter speeds.

They also talk about learning to see, about slowing down to distill a vast landscape to its core. It means being nimble enough to pick up the tripod one more time, being patient enough to let a vision mature.

Sometimes, it isn’t possible.

In the dark room, one student talks about the cloudless sky in the corner of his landscape. He knows it’s a weakness, but nature defied him.

“I was waiting, and I was waiting.”

Said Cooper: “And those clouds were never going to come.”

“Leonard’s books are Oscar Wilde behind bars, drawing-room comedies set amid the bemused venality of a harsh criminal world,” Turan wrote.

literary career in 1951 moonlighting as a writer of western short stories for the then-thriving pulp magazine market.

His first western novel, “The Bounty Hunters,” was published in 1953. Four more of his western novels were published over the next eight years, while two of his short stories were being turned into movies – “The Tall T,” starring Randolph Scott; and “3:10 to Yuma,” starring Glenn Ford (and remade in 2007 with Russell Crowe).

After the market for westerns dried up in the 1960s, Leonard switched to writing contemporary crime novels, the literary genre that made him a worldwide critical favorite and earned him fans ranging from Nobel laureate Saul Bellow to President George W. Bush to director Quentin Tarantino.

Beginning with “The Big Bounce” in 1969, Leonard turned out a string of crime novels, including “Mr. Majestyk,” “Swag,” “Gold Coast,” “Split Images” and “Stick.” His 1983 novel “La Brava” earned him an Edgar Allan Poe Award from the Mystery Writers of America.

But it wasn’t until “Glitz,” his 1985 novel about a psychopathic ex-con who wants revenge on the Miami Beach cop who put him behind bars, that Leonard cracked the prestigious New York Times bestseller list.

The slightly built, bearded and bespectacled author landed on the cover of Newsweek magazine, which hailed him as the best crime writer in America and “possibly the best we’ve ever had.”

Leonard Continued

“I start with people, get them into situations – and see what happens. I send Chili Palmer to Hollywood and then I start thinking – does he become an actor?

No, maybe he’s a studio executive or a producer. I never plot my books out.”

As Friedkin observed: “Elmore’s insights come from his narrator’s voice – that’s the real pleasure of his stories – and that’s hard to translate on screen.”

Leonard was born in New Orleans on Oct. 11, 1925. His father worked for General Motors, scouting car dealership locations around the country. His family moved to Texas, Oklahoma and Tennessee before settling in Detroit in 1934.

Inspired by a Detroit Times serialization of “All Quiet on the Western Front,” Leonard took his first stab at writing in the fifth grade by writing a play based on the World War I novel. It was staged in his classroom, with the desks serving as “No-man’s Land.”

In high school, where he played football and baseball, a fellow student gave him his lifelong nickname, “Dutch,” after Washington Senators pitcher Emil “Dutch” Leonard.

It wasn’t until he was majoring in English and philosophy at the University of Detroit after serving in the Naval Reserve in the South Pacific during World War II that Leonard began writing short stories.

Leonard married his college sweetheart, Beverly Cline, in 1949, and they had their first child within a year.

After graduating in 1950 he landed a job at CampbellEwald Advertising in Detroit, where he wrote advertising copy for Chevrolet. He also began writing short fiction for magazines on the side. He chose westerns, he said, “because I liked western movies.”

His first published story was “Trail of the Apache” for Argosy, a men’s magazine, in 1951.

With his full-time job as a copywriter and a growing family, Leonard realized that the only way he could write fiction was to rise at 5 a.m.

Sitting at the living room coffee table, he’d spend two hours trying to write two pages on a yellow tablet.

“I made a rule that I had to get something down on paper before I could put the water on for the coffee,” he said in an interview

published in “The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard,” a 2004 book.

“Know where you’re going and then put the water on.

That seemed to work because I did it for most of the ’50s.”

He sometimes continued working on his stories at work, writing on a tablet in his desk drawer, which he’d close whenever someone came in.

“The Bounty Hunters” was published in 1953. In 1960, armed with $11,500 from Campbell-Ewald’s profit-sharing plan, Leonard quit with the intention of writing full time. Instead, he bought a house and, with a wife and five children to support, spent the next few years writing freelance advertising copy and educational film scripts for Encyclopedia Britannica.

In 1966, however, 20th Century Fox bought the film rights to his 1961 western novel “Hombre,” which became a 1967 movie starring Paul Newman.

That gave Leonard enough money to write his first non-western novel, “The Big Bounce.”

For many years, Leonard wrote screenplays to support his crime-novel writing. Among his numerous film credits: “Joe Kidd,” starring Clint Eastwood; “Mr. Majestyk,” starring Charles Bronson (Leonard wrote the screenplay for the 1974 film before writing it as a novel) and “Stick,” starring Burt Reynolds (based on Leonard’s novel).

But the screenplays, he told the New York Times in 1984, “were just a matter of trying to make money; it was work, that’s all.”

While his writing career was booming in the early ’70s, his marriage was crumbling and he was drinking heavily. In 1974, the year he moved out of the house, a friend suggested he try Alcoholics Anonymous.

“I got into drinking because I was shy, somewhat introverted, selfconscious, and it brought me out. It was the macho thing to do,” he told Playboy in 1995. “I drank from the time I was 16 until I quit when I was 52. And I had more fun when I was drinking than at any other time.”

In 1979, two years after his divorce, Leonard married Joan Shepard, who helped him during his alcohol withdrawal and read and critiqued his writing before it went out.

She died of lung cancer in 1993 at age 64.

Six months later,

Leonard asked out Christine Kent, who was in charge of the gardening crew that tended to his yard.

He was, according to the Playboy interview, impressed with her knowledge of books and movies, and they were married two months later.

They divorced in 2012.

When he was working on a novel, Leonard wrote every day – in his living room with a No. 5 Pilot Pen on unlined yellow paper before typing the handwritten pages on an IBM Selectric.

“If a day goes by and you haven’t done anything, or a couple of days, it’s difficult to get back into the rhythm of it,” he said in 1998.

Writing novels, he said, is “the most satisfying thing I can imagine doing. To write that scene and then read it, and it works ... there’s nothing better than that. The notoriety that comes later doesn’t compare to the doing of it.

I’ve been doing it for almost 47 years, and I’m still trying to make it better.”

Idaho man explores space from backyard

By ALEX STUCKEY, Post Register

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho – The pinks and oranges along the horizon began to fade, revealing twinkling stars overhead.

Carl Stoots rolled back the roof of his homemade observatory, exposing his 12-inch telescope to the heavens.

From the outside, the 8-by-12-foot structure looks like a life-sized doll house. Between the flower boxes secured under its paneled windows and the fake dripping candle illuminating the inside, it appeared perfect for his two daughters’ imaginative games.

But on the inside, Stoots was tinkering and adjusting the telescope – and the 8-megapixel camera attached to it – for an optimal view of the nebulas and galaxies above.

A department manager for experimental programs at Idaho National Laboratory by trade, Stoots is an astrophotographer by hobby. The title means what it sounds like: Stoots takes pictures of astronomical objects.

Nebulas, galaxies, planets – you name it, Stoots has photographed it.

“There aren’t many people who do (astrophotography),” the Idaho Falls man said. “It’s kind of a small culture.”

He joined this small culture about 10 years ago, but his outer space interests started atypically. Stoots never dreamt of building a rocket to the red planet or donning a space suit and stepping onto the moon. He was an avid hiker and rock climber interested in celestial navigation.

There aren’t many people who do (astrophotography) It’s kind of a small culture.

– Carl Stoots, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, on his hobby taking pictures of astronomical objects light pollution will do to his image. Two to four times a month, weather conditions – and spousal approval – will align for a shoot.

First, Stoots picks a target in the sky, a nebula for example, using a software program. He then attempts to capture the image with his camera/telescope combo. With another camera, he locks onto a star to help keep the image in focus.

Then he starts shooting.

He’ll take several pictures with exposures ranging between five and 10 minutes long. He’ll assemble them into a color image at a later time.

A fellow astronomy buff, Jim Edlin, said Stoots does “pretty good” with his images. The two have known each other for about six years. Edlin used to do a lot of astrophotography, so he offers Stoots advice whenever needed.

“I don’t know of anyone else actually doing (astrophotography) in Idaho Falls,” Edlin said.

The folder on Stoots’ observatory computer contains hundreds of these types of pictures. He scrolls through the file names, picking out his favorite attempts. A decade at this hobby has left him with many successful attempts, While living in Germany about 15 years ago, but also many failed ones.

Sometimes he posts the Stoots started reading up on survival and self-reliance in photos on the Internet. Most of the time, however, they the wild.

“I wouldn’t do that,” said Cooper. “It’s unnatural. Anybody who is familiar with the outdoors would see that it’s fake.”

This morning, the lessons at Many Glacier are about the craft, but Cooper has to be more than a photography instructor to lead his students in a national park. He warns them away from the edges of cliffs, and he doctors sprained ankles.

One year, a bear wandered through the outdoor classroom, trapping some photographers at the falls. Cooper was worried even before some of the students who had heard his “bear talk”

shooting when “pancake light” begins, sometimes around 9 a.m.

“That means it’s very flat ... and it’s time to go get pancakes,” Hartz said.

Hartz is a lung doctor, and in recent months, he’s worked 20 days in a row, night shifts, 24 hours straight. He loves medicine, but he doesn’t let it define him.

He took his first workshop When the light grows harsh, the several years ago, and it was photographers head to breakfast. grueling and inspiring. “You have Then, they’ll make their way toward no free time, you just work, work, West Glacier for the rest of the work.” But he shot a single subject week. three different ways, sometimes 10 Brian Hartz of St. Paul, Minn., different ways, and the focus has taken other RMSP workshops, soothed and altered him. and he learned that it’s time to stop “After that workshop, you see things differently. You notice things in the world around you that you don’t otherwise notice,” Hartz said.

“I’ve been a lot more aware of things that I’d like to shoot, but also, of just the way things are.”

So he’s come back for other classes. On the way up Going-tothe-Sun Road, he stops to photograph at Lunch Creek. He hikes a short ways up the trail, sets the tripod in the creek. He picks it up again, moves it over, changes lenses.

He might be there a while, he says.

It just depends on what he sees. experienced a sudden bout of amnesia.

“Three or four members of the group just started racing toward the grizzly with their cameras,” Cooper said. “I was literally grabbing them and pulling them back, even after our bear talk, which of course is mandatory.”

The critique is a first for Karen Giffen, who began taking photography classes when pictures from her travels didn’t tell the story of the places she’d seen.

“The one that was the most startling for me was in Peru,” said Giffen, of Cleveland. “I did the Inca Trail and was in Machu Picchu, and I have some nice images, but they really paled in comparison to the (place’s) beauty and grandeur.”

As the instructors pull up her photographs, Giffen jokingly admonishes them to be gentle in their critiques. In fact, she appreciates the attention they put into student work and the rigor they bring to the curriculum.

“Other schools don’t give you as much time, and there are long spaces when you’re really not doing anything, and that’s a big deal,” Giffen said.

At this workshop, photographers were in the parking lot at 5:15 that morning, and later, they’ll do the sunset shoot on Logan Pass. The following morning, they’ll have cameras in hand before sunrise.

In between field shoots, the students describe their goals to the instructors and process photos, and the teachers lecture and critique.

On Wednesday morning, the sun is a ribbon of orange on the horizon outside the Many Glacier Hotel. Here above the waterfall, Cooper has set up a difficult shot.

The photographers stand on a bridge, waiting for the sun and the roll of the Earth. When the yellow globe rises over the ridge, it will form a star, but just for a minute.

As the moments tick past, Cooper coaches Susan Bestul to pull into her camera the splendor of the light in that brief moment.

She takes it, her first difficult shot.

She sees the image, and he sees her pride. Her success is the reason Cooper teaches.

“She said, ‘I got it. I’m just going to shoot it again. And I’m going to shoot it again.’ She kept shooting the same thing just because it was working,” Cooper said.

On the other side of the water, Clay Smith points his camera to the moon, and he waits for the sphere and rock to warm to red. He quizzes Cooper, who designed the course and has taught it for a couple of decades.

Idaho gold miners frustrated by new EPA permit

“A lot of miners think we are picking on them and nobody else. It goes TWIN FALLS, Idaho – back to the Clean Water Prospectors hoping to Act, and the discharge of pluck gold from the pollutants requires a bottom of Idaho’s rivers permit.” face many obstacles.

“If a suction dredge is in the stream at a time when we have eggs in the gravel . it’s easy to imagine suction dredge mining interrupting endangered fish and probably killing eggs,” said David Mabe, Idaho director for the Fisheries Service.

If a miner wants to dredge in critical habitat, DeGering said, he must obtain an Endangered Species Act consultation – a lengthy process examining where and when a miner could work and not affect species of concern, such as not dredging during spawning season.

The EPA and other agencies have approved regulated dredging of Lolo Creek and Moose Creek in northern Idaho.

Twin Falls resident Jim Kepner bought his used 3inch, 5.5-horsepower dredge for $500. New dredges cost up to $4,000.

But Kepner’s dredge has sat unused in his garage for two years.

He and several other miners bought a claim on the Payette River for $2,000 but were denied access to it when the EPA’s permitting started because of critical habitat for bull trout, he said.

“We’re out $2,000, and nobody is going to buy it from us now,” he said.

Kepner recently received an EPA permit to dredge along the Snake River near American Falls.

His hopes aren’t high, though. He said many of the rivers with the best gold now are EPAregulated or off-limits because of critical habitat and endangered species.

Idaho is a big state, and miners can hide in remote areas. But when they are found, the courts won’t look favorably on their activities, Hayes said.

Under the Clean Water Act, environmental groups can act as enforcement agents and send a 60-day notice of intent to sue the EPA in hopes of compelling the agency into action.

“We did that a year and a half ago with a small gold mine in the town of Atlanta (in Elmore County), and their failure to comply ... has resulted in a $2 million penalty for them,” he said.

So far, the EPA hasn’t filed charges against illegal dredgers, instead focusing on education and outreach, said Jim Werntz, operations office director for the EPA in Idaho.

EPA is working through growing pains with the permit and hopes to approve permits more quickly, DeGering said.

“We want folks to apply and ask questions and be patient with us.”

SHOULD CONGRESS FUND HEALTH CARE REFORM?

Giant step toward Scrap Obamacare, it goal of social justice is time to start all over

By WAYNE MADSEN McClatchy-Tribune News Service

By AMY RIDENOUR McClatchy-Tribune News Service

ASHINGTON – Sixteen million Americans who haven’t access to medical care are eagerly awaiting the Oct. 1 start of the Affordable Care Act, and now Republicans and a few willy-nilly Democrats are saying, “No, it’s not perfect, let’s defund it and start over.”

What unprincipled malarkey. Of course, it’s not perfect!

No piece of legislation that wends its way through the sausage factory on Capitol Hill ever deserves a Grade A stamp, but implementing the legislation as it stands and making needed fixes later is a far better choice than dumping it into the waste stream whole hog.

Barring the unlikely event that Congress should suddenly follow the world’s other progressive industrialized nations and enact single-payer health care, the ACA is as good as it gets as a starter bill.

Indeed, the administration’s implementation team under the wise leadership of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sibelius is in the process of hiring several thousand “navigators” to fan out across America and guide people through the bill’s most confusing labyrinths.

And the Internal Revenue Service is set to hire more than 10,000 agents who will be specially trained to collect reasonable tax penalties from those who choose to opt out of the federal program. It is hoped the numbers of young people and small businesses who decide to unwind themselves from the nation’s social fabric will be much, much smaller than many right-wing critics are projecting.

This is the one thing that the president and Sibelius are confident of – that Americans who actually try the health-care law will like it and find it the answer to their long-term medical needs.

After all, what’s not to like when you consider its outstanding features, including: n The elimination of pre-existing conditions that big insurance companies have used unmercifully over the decades to rake-in some of the largest profits on earth. n The bill also requires that at least 85 percent of large-group premiums and 80 percent of smallgroup and individual premiums be spent directly on clinical services and improving the quality of health care. Forcing Big Insurance to spend most of the dollars they take in on actual health care for patients is almost revolutionary. Insurers whose actual spending is below those levels will have to refund the difference. Government estimates suggest that 12.8 million Americans will get rebates totaling $1.1 billion – or an average of about $151 per household. n Opponents of the law have been warning that not enough young Americans will be civic-minded enough to enroll in the program and instead pay the relatively low opt fee of $95. Such cynicism likely is misplaced, but it should be noted that the law allows an estimated 3.1 million young Americans who would have lacked health coverage to remain on their parents’ health insurance up to age 26.

There have been some glitches and delays along the way, but Sibelius and other administration officials are confident that things will go smoothly when consumers and businesses begin to sign up for benefits.

“We know we have a lot of work to do,” she told reporters recently, “but we’ll be ready for whatever comes up.”

That’s good news not just for millions of uninsured citizens, but more for America’s reputation as beacon for the rest of the world. At long last it puts our country on the path of social justice already taken by so many other nations.

The trip along that path may be bumpy at times, but the result will be a healthier United States – one that is able to meet all the economic challenges of what looks to be an increasingly turbulent and eventful 21st century.

W

ASHINGTON – The Affordable Care Act should be defunded – even the president concedes it’s not ready for prime time.

President Barack Obama has delayed the requirement that businesses with 50 or more employees provide health insurance. He has delayed the cap on how much an individual or family with insurance can be required to spend out-of-pocket. He’s delayed the exchanges through which small businesses were supposed to be able to find affordable health insurance. And he’s delayed checks to determine whether people who claim to qualify for subsidies to help them pay for health insurance actually qualify for such aid.

Don’t expect privacy when you buy health insurance on one of the health law’s exchanges, either, because the administration is late in employing security systems to keep your medical and financial information private, although this violates federal law.

And the administration has decided that so-called “navigators” – people who will receive up to $48 an hour to sign people up for health care – don’t have to have background checks before taking jobs that will give them access to your private information.

Eighty-two deadlines have come and gone. The administration has missed not 15 percent of them, not 25 percent of them, but a full 50 percent of them.

The health-care reform law was enacted by majorities in both the House and Senate in 2009, so it already has been a law in-waiting a full two years longer than the United States fought in World War I. Yet that still hasn’t been long enough for the administration that helped to write it – and which ardently supported it – to implement it according to the timetable it created for it.

The delays aren’t the only parts of the law that signal disaster.

As my colleague David Hogberg determined in a study published in August, young Americans – the socalled “young invincibles” who think they won’t get sick – are likely to drag their feet on buying health insurance because it will cost a lot, lot more than the fine for not buying it. This is yet another critical problem for the healthcare law because premiums from the young and healthy were supposed to help reduce premiums for the older and sicker.

So expect the law to deliver even more health insurance premium increases, and if you a think being in Medicare will protect your wallet, think again. The president raided Medicare to disguise the true cost of the ACA to help get it passed.

The Affordable Care Act also kills jobs. According to a recent Gallup survey, the effects on employment have been nothing short of horrendous. With the law’s starting date only a month aware, 19 percent of businesses with less than $20 million in annual sales have already cut jobs. Forty-one percent of them say they have frozen hiring and an additional 38 percent have “pulled back on their plans to grow their business.”

Stories of businesses converting full-time jobs into part-time are all over the news.

Even a part of the law both the U.S. House and Senate agree should be repealed still sticks around like a bad hospital virus: the innovation and job-killing tax on medical devices.

One of the few aspects of the law the administration seemingly has managed to implement successfully is a song program.

You read that right.

It’s a federal program to give $3,000 of your tax money to the person who can create the best song, cartoon or video extolling the benefits of the law.

Seriously!

President Obama and his allies wrote the law exactly how they wanted it, and yet haven’t been able to implement it. What could be stronger evidence that the law is a dud?

The ACA is expected to cost taxpayers $1.9 trillion over the next decade. Let’s save that money and replace the act with a health care reform plan that can work.

GUEST COLUMN

Allegations Daines is waging ‘war on women’ ridiculous

By VONDENE KOPETSKI

T

he idea that Rep. Steve Daines, R-Mont., is engaged in a “war on women” is ridiculous. As a woman, a business owner and a mother, I was frustrated to read the (Aug. 1) letter from Dan Lourie of Bozeman because it is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with politics today.

Throwing every kind of baseless, shameful smear at your political opposite and praying that something sticks because your side has no vision for the future is not only immature, it does nothing to further the discourse and actually gets in the way of people talking about the real issues.

The truth is that Daines has been fighting to protect the rights of women and is joined by more women than men in this country in support of the 20-week abortion ban. In an article in the Washington Post (hardly a conservative publication), Aaron Blake notes that: “Of four major

polls conducted in recent weeks on the 20-week abortion ban, each one shows women are actually more supportive of the law than men“ (www.washington post.com/blogs/thefix/wp/2013/08/02/guess). And, it is important to note that in a recent Gallup Poll 51 percent of Montanans identified themselves as pro-life compared to 42 percent who claimed to be pro-choice.

That said, what Montana women are most concerned about is not their right to have an abortion, it is about their right to have a job. Exit polling after the 2012 election showed that a high percentage of women who voted were most concerned about “pocketbook” economic issues.

The trumped-up charge about a phony “war on women” is nothing more than a smokescreen to deflect from the fact that women in huge numbers in this country are becoming poorer because of the declining United States economy.

Daines is trying to do something about the economic

issues affecting women. He has: n Supported passage of the Working Families Flexibility Act of 2013, which gives women paid time off so they can balance the demands of family and work life. (http://daines.house.gov/pressrelease/daines-fights-forflexibiitu-for-montanaworking-families/) n Worked to pass the Student Success Act restoring local control over education policy which enhances and promulgates equal opportunity/benefits for female students. (http://edworkforce. house.gov/news/documentsingle .aspx) n Supported full repeal of Obamacare; otherwise millions of women will lose the health coverage they currently have, resulting in higher premiums and health care costs and imposing a heavy tax burden on families. n Campaigned to create more jobs for Montanans and supports growing Montana’s resources economy through the Keystone Pipeline Project, which will help

create jobs and increase takehome pay. n Voted for allowing taxpayers to be able to choose if they wanted their tax dollars to pay for abortions, not “against a women’s right to health”, as Lourie contends.

If Lourie (a self-described “democratic activist”) is really concerned about helping Montana women, he should be thanking Daines, not denigrating him. We need elected officials like Daines who are working to create solutions to the serious economic issues women face in Montana and throughout this country.

Many people aren’t aware that the United States is currently experiencing a crisis of female unemployment. The number of women unemployed in this country in June 2013 was 5,785,000, which is 780,000 more than when President Barack Obama was inaugurated in January 2009. The unemployment rate for women in this country has gone up steadily since January 2009, reaching 9 percent and staying close to that number (Bureau of

Labor Statistics 2012).

Maybe if activists spoke less about a “women’s right to choose” and more about giving women jobs so they could make better choices all around, there might be fewer abortions; there would certainly be more and better jobs for women and as a result there would be more secure families and an improved economy.

The crisis in this country for women is not about whether they can get an abortion when they want one – it is about whether or not they can get a job when they need one. I am grateful Daines is focused on the “real” issues for Montana women (not the smokescreens) and is working tirelessly to see that Montana women have more and better paying jobs which will give us the freedom to make better choices and live better lives.

OPINION

Letters WILDLIFE PRIVATIZATION Trend is not good for public This country, already in some states such as New Mexico and Texas, is moving inexorably toward privatization of wildlife and access to it for sports killing, with private land owners (ranchers and farmers) charging large fees for guided hunts or trespass privileges?

Reading the trends, it looks like that is what is happening. It is already a large practice in Montana with ranchers being their own outfitters. There is potentially more money in game farming and locking up wildlife for private profit than ranching. What can wildlife viewing conservationists and the public do about it? Where much money is involved, like it is here, ranchers, farmers, wildlife agencies and politicians are likely to collude for narrow interests – their interests not the public’s interests.

What are the implications for balanced ecology with ranchers, farmers, wildlife agencies and evidently anti-predators minded conservative politicians? Ted Turner charges $15,000 for a guided elk hunt on his ranches in Montana and New Mexico.

Only the rich will end up hunting. I’ll bet they will not want to share game killing with wolves, bears, lions, coyotes or anything else.

Will predators be attracted to those game herds on private land thereby putting them at risk, all the while being their natural selves? No law is writ in concrete, so how about some movements to turn the tide with wildlife and public lands belonging to the public and ecology, and reverse anti-wildlife and anti-public interests laws. I’ll bet they are calling a lot of that leased public land private. Should public land be private?

“Whenever and wherever men have engaged in the mindless slaughter of animals (including other men), they have often attempted to justify their acts by attributing the most vicious or revolting qualities to those they would destroy; and the less reason there is for the slaughter, the greater the campaign for vilification.”

It’s time to stop expecting others to do what’s right, on your behalf, and do it yourself….question things. You are about to find out what the terms “inflation” and “theft” really mean; are you prepared? When the feds and the special interest groups climb through the loopholes they’ve buried in this water compact, you won’t know what hit you. Good luck with that, friends and neighbors. Time to get angry and stop the train.

LOCAL TELEVISION NEWS ‘Facts right’ mantra is tiresome

Most evenings, I watch portions of Missoula’s two local newscasts. I am becoming increasingly disgusted with the mantra one of them – to no sickening end – constantly overuses.

First, being force-fed a silly statement like “Getting the facts right” 20 times per half-hour is utterly tiresome.

Second, the claim is redundant: Something isn’t a fact in the first place if it is not “right.” (I giggled a few weeks ago at the station’s admission that it had gotten a “fact” wrong.)

Third, this ongoing proclamation smacks of bragging and arrogance: an implied “We’re better than that other station” assertion – with no “facts” to back up such a contention.

FLATHEAD WATER COMPACT There is a rule in fiction writing that I think applies here: Show, don’t tell. I Don’t be lured into blind acceptance urge a certain Missoula station to start showing its audience how it is such a If it waddles along like a skunk and tends to smell like a skunk, it probably is prime broadcaster – and quit beating us in the face 20 times every night with its a skunk.

– Brad Giffin, Missoula County Sheriff’s captain on the Lolo Complex fire’s run Monday

“It’s the same old ingredients – there’s nothing new here. The thing we have to realize is that fires are inevitable. They’re impossible to completely exclude from the landscape.

By trying to do that and doing it so successfully, what we’ve done is saved up the fires for the worst conditions. When you get rid of all the fires under moderate conditions, all you have left are the extreme ones.”

– Mark Finney, a research forester with the Fire, Fuel and Smoke Science Program, a fire lab in Missoula on wildfires

“Certainly drought in some areas has contributed to the number and intensity of fire events. But many of the fires have been in highly populated, wilderness-urban interface areas such as Colorado Springs, Sun Valley, Idaho, and the west slope of the Sierra Nevada.

That adds greatly to costs since so many more resources are required to protect built structures.”

Chinese customers account for nearly 80? percent of the polysilicon produced in Moses Lake, so the stakes are huge, said REC general counsel Francine Sullivan.

“This is potentially a massive blow to our business. We’re doing all we can to keep going, but we can’t manage too much longer without government help,” she said.

Despite the uncertainty, REC has not announced layoffs and hopes to avoid them, Sullivan said. “We need a political solution ASAP.” Gov. Jay Inslee and REC’s representatives in Congress have pledged their support, but experts warn a resolution may take at least several months.

During a recent visit to the 550-acre complex, workers in hard hats and protective smocks rode on golf carts among a maze of pipes, chemical tanks and reactors used to turn silicon into small granules of solar-grade polysilicon.

Vice President of Engineering Ron Reis said he doesn’t waste a lot of time worrying about the trade dispute.

“We’re pretty confident we’ll get some help from the political folks,” said Reis, a Washington native who joined REC in the mid-1990s after nearly two decades in the oilrefining business. “We have tremendous opportunities to improve what we do, and we’re staying very much locked on that.”

TERRITORY WYOMING

Snake River caters to surfers in the West

By BENJAMIN STORROW Casper Star-Tribune

JACKSON, Wyo. – Aaron Pruzan learned to surf in Wyoming, 700 miles from ocean.

He has since ridden waves in Costa Rica and Panama, Washington and Oregon, among other places. Still, he likes surfing the Cowboy State.

On many evenings in the summer, Pruzan can be found on a small stretch of the Snake River called the Lunch Counter. Located southwest of Jackson near the town of Alpine, the banks of the river constrict, funneling the water through a narrow channel and causing it to gain speed as it cascades down over the bedrock in the center of the river.

The result is a wave that looks suspiciously like it belongs in the ocean, in a place like Maui or Baja in California perhaps. The water falls over a rock, creating a trench, before rising again into a white, foaming crest.

On many days there are lines. Prime surfing conditions occur when the river is running between 7,000 and 13,000 cubic feet per second, and so the window of opportunity can be small. Flows are largely determined by how much water is released from the Jackson Lake Dam and the needs of reservoirs downstream.

Some summers the Snake surfing season lasts only three days. It’s been known to happen not at all. This year’s was especially long, lasting about two months.

Pruzan surfs in the evenings because there are fewer people. He will surf to the point of exhaustion if there is no one waiting, sometimes staying on his board for 10, 15 or 20 minutes.

Ian Stokes surfs Brennan’s Wave in the Clark Fork River in downtown Missoula in July. River surfing is catching on in Missoula, buoyed by the manufacturing of boards specific to the sport by Strongwater Mountain Surf Co. “I was like, ‘Next year I’m going to learn how to do that,’ ” he said.

Next year turned into the year after, and then the year after that. A little more than a decade ago, Pruzan decided to give it a shot. He’s been hooked on surfing since.

Surfing is becoming increasingly popular in the Rocky Mountain West, odd as that is to say.

Municipalities are building water parks with features to accommodate surfers.

Missoula’s Brennan’s wave on the Clark Fork River is particularly well known.

Other surfers, having cut their teeth at locations like the Lunch Counter, are noticing and riding natural features in rivers throughout the region.

The Lunch Counter remains one of the better known locations for river surfing, a reputation that owes itself in large part to the fact that people have been riding it for so long.

Mike FitzPatrick is generally credited with the first ride back in 1978.

FitzPatrick is a Maine Many people native who moved to struggle standing on Jackson in 1970 after brief their boards at the Lunch stints in California and Counter. It took Pruzan a Hawaii. In 1976, couple of attempts before FitzPatrick and friend he mastered it. An ocean Steve Osman were working wave moves, meaning a as rafting guides on the good ride might last only Snake. Osman, like 20 to 30 seconds. Surfers FitzPatrick, was a surfer can stay on the Lunch and the pair soon noticed Counter wave for as long that the Lunch Counter as their legs will hold, or bore a resemblance to their friends will allow.

And a ride on the wave can waves seen in the ocean.

They started discussing often mean a pummeling the possibility of surfing it. by the nearby rapids.

The only problem? Neither “It’s a just a different had a board and, in at least dynamic,” Pruzan said. one year, the water level “It’s pretty unique.”

Pruzan, 44, is a kayaker. was too low to surf.

They didn’t attempt He has been kayaking the riding the wave until 1978 Snake for more than 20 when friend Steve Hahn years and is the owner of returned from California Rendezvous River Sports with a board. Hahn was a and the Jackson Hole Kayak School. In the early novice surfer, though, and try as he might he couldn’t years of his career, he saw stand on his board. The surfers riding the Lunch trio of Osman, Hahn and Counter during his FitzPatrick decided to try frequent trips down the and conquer the wave river.

FitzPatrick is now 65.

He rode the Lunch Counter regularly for years, but a hip replacement and an enthusiasm for kayaking led him away from surfing.

Last year, FitzPatrick returned to the Lunch Counter for the first time in nearly a decade. He failed to stand on his board. This year, he returned again and found success. He plans to keep coming back.

“It’s kind of addictive in a way,” FitzPatrick said.

“It’s different. It’s hard.

Everyone who comes down there is kinda like family.”

FitzPatrick’s son Cameron is now one of the young stars of the Lunch Counter wave. (He was snowboarding in Argentina and unavailable for an interview.)

Gannett Horn, 43, is one of the Lunch Counter regulars. In his words, “I’m almost down there every day when it’s working.”

Horn was born in Jackson but learned to surf in Puerto Rico. The Lunch Counter has helped feed his love of the sport. He spends his winters surfing in place like Santa Barbara, Calif., and Bahia, Mexico.

The Snake compares favorably to those places, he said.

“At the river, the wave is always there,” he said.

“Sometimes I get a Zen feeling when I’m on the wave. When I’m surfing on the river or ocean, all the problems of my life fall away.”

The river or the ocean.

Santa Barbara or Jackson.

It doesn’t really matter. It’s surfing just the same.

PLUGGED IN

Wife wants husband to show love Dear Abby: My husband, “Ray,” and I have been together for eight years, married for one. He is a great husband who works hard, is responsible, healthy and he does half the household chores. He also tries to stay in great shape. We have a lot in common.

My only JEANNE problem is PHILLIPS how Ray shows his love for me.

Ray says he expresses his love by doing what needs to be done – repairs, yard work, grocery shopping, etc. I appreciate it, but it doesn’t feel like love to me. I’d like him to buy me flowers, send me handwritten notes, take me to romantic candlelit dinners, etc. I reciprocate by giving him back rubs, baking him his favorite pie and buying him small gifts.

How can I get my husband to understand that it would be good for our marriage to give each other these “extra” acts of sweetness? We have talked about it, but he

hasn’t changed.

– Demonstrating Love in Washington, D.C. Dear Demonstrating Love: You can’t dictate how someone “should” express love. If the gestures you’re looking for don’t come naturally, it really is defeating the purpose to demand it. Many women would kill to have a husband who demonstrated his love by doing all the things your husband does.

Unless Ray has suddenly changed since your wedding, this is the person he was all during your seven-year courtship. The chances of him changing to any great degree are slim, so try to accept him the way he is, and you’ll both be happier.

Dear Abby: My husband and I are in our early 30s and both have full-time jobs. Because of our busy work schedules and a general lack of desire to be parents, we have decided not to have children. We have nothing against kids, but we feel it isn’t the best fit for our lifestyle.

The problem is my mother. She has a small farm I was always told I would one day inherit and

move back to. My degree is in agriculture, and my husband and I have been saving for this for some time. Mom now says unless we have a child to pass the farm onto, we can’t have it.

I am devastated about not being able to fulfill our dream and the pressure of my mother trying to force parenthood on us. I refuse to cave into her demand, but I’m not sure how to handle myself around her.

Should I cut off contact until she stops badgering me? Should I just let her remarks go? I am sad and hurt to have been put in this position. Any advice?

OUR KIDS ARE TALKING, ARE WE LISTENING?

Dear Cornered: People who don’t want to be parents usually don’t make very good ones – and to bring a child into the world in order to get your hands on your mother’s farm would be unfair to the child.

I see no reason to cut off your mother. When she raises this subject again (and she will), tell her that even if you had a baby “to pass the farm onto,” there is no guarantee the child would WANT it. In the meantime, continue saving your money so you will have a sufficient down payment for a farm of your own – no strings attached.

| ASTROLOGY | A baby born today has a Sun in Virgo and a Moon in Aries if born before 9:13 p.m. MDT. Afterward, the Moon will be in Taurus.

Happy birthday for Sunday, Aug. 25, 2013: Your determination and vision define your JACQUELINE year. If used properly, you BIGAR could experience a lot of happiness and success. Your ability to detach carries you through hassles without personalizing the experience. If you are single, someone very different from you could enter your life through a friendship. You will grow because of knowing this person, and he or she will grow because of knowing you. If you are attached, the two of you will fulfill a long-term dream together. The experience will bring you closer. Taurus can be stubborn, but he or she is always loyal.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5 dynamic, 4 positive, 3 average, 2 so-so, 1 difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Be aware of a highpriority matter involving your finances. You could have very different ideas from a loved one about handling money and setting up budgets. Listen to this person’s needs rather than get upset that you are not on the same page. Tonight: Buy a new item.

This Week: Be practical, above all else. Leave theories to the end of the week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Though you often tend to move at a leisurely pace, right now you will be picking up the pace. Money could be a problem for you, especially involving a sibling or a close loved one. Start to practice saying the word “no.”

Tonight: Whatever makes you happiest.

This Week: You know what you want.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Know when to stop pushing a friend so hard. Part of what is going on could be a general lack of information.

Others are working hard to

achieve results, when a discussion is all that’s needed.

Tonight: Play it low-key.

This Week: Not until late Tuesday will you feel up to snuff, but you will make up for lost time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Feeling irritable usually has a cause, but losing your cool and yelling at the family pet is not effective. Give voice to your feelings, even the negative ones.

If you feel hurt, let the other party know effectively and without judgment. Tonight: Call it an early night.

This Week: Monday and Tuesday, get out and about. Be more reflective the rest of the week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You accept responsibility well, and you fulfill your obligations with excellence.

Others appreciate you, but you need to put a halt to how much responsibility you take on. A friend or partner cares more than you realize. Listen to his or her feedback. Tonight: A must appearance.

This Week: You’re the star this week, no matter what you are doing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH When pushed hard, you often lose patience because a faster pace does not permit your natural precision. You easily could get into a tiff with a friend or an associate who wants something done quickly. Do not let his or her coolness get to you.

Tonight: Think “big picture.“ This Week: Your mind drifts until it becomes an issue late Tuesday.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You work well with someone you care about if you maintain one-on-one contact.

When the two of you are part of a group, the other party distances him- or herself considerably. You might feel as if this bond is too much work. Think hard. Tonight: Respond, but do not initiate.

This Week: You are on cruise control.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might think that you can have a calm day, but you won’t be able to unless you live in a soundproof, locked room. Others keep showing up for all sorts of reasons! Be willing to revise your schedule and go with the moment. Tonight: Visit with a loved one.

This Week: Schedule a few days off to do your own thing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21) HHHH Approaching a conversation or project with complete focus will allow you to detach a bit from your daily life.

Not only will you feel good about this, but you also will be able to look at a personal matter with new eyes. Tonight: Make sure that your budget can handle a change.

This Week: Get as much done as possible. Wednesday, you’ll become quite distracted.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could hit some obstacles, but the way you approach problems is so seamless that no one would know. Your creativity can help you get past a situation that normally would be a hassle. Use this gift to open up a relationship and take it the next level. Tonight: Make it early.

This Week: Allow your imagination to go wild.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You can be very friendly, but not when too much is on your plate. Focusing on a home project will renew your energy and your spirit. If you can avoid a difficult person in your life for the time being, everything will turn out just fine. Tonight: Paint the town red.

This Week: From Wednesday on, your quick wit and humor will emerge.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Once you are on the phone, it might be hard to get off – not because someone talks too much, but because so many people will be calling you. Enjoy going out with a loved one for a late brunch. Catch up on others’ news later. Tonight: Just listen.

This Week: Schedule any meetings before Wednesday, if possible.

Metals glow in fall decor

By KIM COOK Associated Press

N

ever been a heavy metal fan? The new look of brass, copper, bronze and nickel in this fall’s decor might change your mind.

The finishes are warm, without the kitschy clash of some previous go-rounds. You’ll see these softer, richer-looking metals – joining gold and silver on the decor stage – as accents on accessories, as furniture embellishment and as a brushed finish on textiles.

It’s a classic look that can work in both traditional and contemporary spaces.

A simple bronze, steel or iron table is one of the season’s hot accent pieces. Nate Berkus has done a side table for Target in brass with an antiqued mirror top, and Pottery Barn’s got a collection of blackened iron ones with a polished industrial vibe. West Elm’s Element iron coffee table has an acid-washed, sandblasted trim.

At the recent International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York, bronze tables made by Nick Davis in his foundry studio in Bedfordshire, England, drew crowds. Their intriguing surfaces were embossed with skulls, rain scenes and other edgy elements.

Made Goods’ ceramic angular or bulleted stools with crackled gold finishes can do double duty as swanky side tables. And the studio’s Delancy bistro side table has a hammered base available in antiqued black, silver or gold on which you can add a customized top. The Arron lamp, with a base made of metalized stones coated with gold or silver, is an unusual and elegant accessory.

Burnished silver, gold or copper bowls and vases are being offered by many retailers, some crafted in metal, some in stoneware or a sustainable wood, and washed with metallic paint. Crate & Barrel’s Loki and Ophelia silvery free-form bowls are light and luminous.

The Eiffel Tower is rendered in brass-finished aluminum in a stylish table lamp at www.worldmarket.com. The site also has 1930s-style Pharmacy lamps in bronze or rust finishes.

At stores like West Elm and Target, you’ll see smart throw pillows with a light brush of metallic paint, some metallic thread or applied bits of metal.

If you’re more attracted to the shinier side of metals, check out Tom Dixon’s reflective ball lighting. Crafted in mirrored silver, copper or bronze finishes, the fixtures have a spacey yet sophisticated look.

Aerin Lauder, Estee’s granddaughter and founder of a high-end lifestyles brand, has designed a collection of luxe porcelain tabletop items including vases, bowls and nesting trays that are hand-dipped or painted with 18-karat gold.

She’s got an elegant collection of cowry, nautilus and snail shells dipped in gold as well.

New York studio Koket’s sexy furniture collection includes sensuous table bases formed out of gold-tinged metal swirls and nets. The brass-circled base with a cobra printed top that makes up the Burlesque console is a saucy mix of flash and dash.

Inflammation and Fatigue Linked Among Breast Cancer Survivors High levels of inflammation may promote fatigue in women who have been treated for and survived breast cancer, according to a new study. Both inflammation and fatigue may be improved with dietary changes.

Catherine M. Alfano, MD, of the National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, collaborated with researchers at numerous medical centers and universities to analyze data from 633 breast cancer survivors. The women had an average age of 56 years and were previously treated for stage 1, 2, or 3 breast cancer.

“Fatigue is common among breast cancer survivors and may persist for years after cancer treatment, clustering with comorbid symptoms such as depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance, and pain that reduce participation in life activities and quality of life,” wrote Alfano and her colleagues.

Forty percent of women in the study had elevated blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation, and 40 percent also had fatigue. Women with elevated CRP levels were 1.8 times more likely to feel fatigued.

Alfano and colleagues also looked at the women’s intake of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats and generally pro-inflammatory omega-6 fats. Higher intake of omega-6 fats, found in most cooking oils and processed foods, was associated with both higher CRP levels and a 2.6 greater likelihood of feeling fatigue.

In fact, women with the lowest intake of omega-3 fats and a relatively high intake of omega-6s were 4.5 times more likely to have a “high-risk” CRP level.

“Future studies should confirm these associations and potentially test whether supplementation with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can reduce inflammation in breast cancer survivors.”

Omega-3 Levels Influence Heart Rhythm Researchers at Harvard University studied 3,326 American men and women age 65 and older. Atrial fibrillation was eventually diagnosed in 789 of the subjects. People with the highest total omega-3 levels had a 29 percent lower risk of developing atrial fibrillation. Most of the benefits were attributed to high levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which was associated with a 23 percent lower risk of atrial fibrillation.

NEWSROOM 523-5240

In some fields, good news for economy is bad news for hiring

By SHERYL JEAN Dallas Morning News

me,” said Wells Fargo employee Patel. He said he earns 50 percent more than he did after nine years in computer sales.

Patel was one of 375 employees hired earlier this year by Wells Fargo for mortgage underwriting. Now the bank is hiring tellers, financial advisers, lenders and managers.

Overall, Chase has avoided 1,000 layoffs in the past couple of years by reassigning people to other banking jobs, spokesman Greg Hassell said.

What’s going on in banking is “not surprising, though it’s unfortunate that anyone loses their job,” said Fleming, the Texas mortgage bankers lawyer. “But if foreclosures and delinquencies are declining ... that’s good news for the economy as a whole.”

A

sure sign of the improving economy is the increase in hiring by companies.

So why are some businesses laying off hundreds of workers?

You can blame that on a better economy, too.

Some businesses, such as construction, mirror economic cycles. When the economy is up, such cyclical industries are typically up.

Other businesses, such as foreclosure services, move in the opposite direction. When the economy is up, their business is down.

That’s partly why layoffs rose and hiring was flat during the first six months of this year, even as job openings grew, according to government data. Another factor: Some businesses have struggled because of structural changes, such as new regulations or industry consolidation.

“Even during an economic boom, there are companies that go belly-up,” said Rob Robinson, senior regional vice president of Robert Half Technology in Texas. “Now more than ever, people are more aware of layoffs or companies trimming head count for one reason or another.”

Just ask Rakesh Patel. He has ridden the wave of a changing economy since losing his computer sales job in 2009.

“I decided to change fields from computer to mortgage,” said the Plano, Texas, resident, who is married with two children. “When the mortgage bubble burst, everybody was in trouble, and (banks) were trying to refinance a lot of borrowers.

There were a lot of job openings and hiring.”

Patel has navigated five banking and mortgage jobs in four years. At first, he landed temporary and contract work handling loan modifications and short sales as borrowers strained to make mortgage payments. In February, Wells Fargo hired him as a mortgage underwriter as people began

buying homes again.

Some economists worry that employment is not keeping up with other economic gains, such as increased exports and home sales.

The U.S. economy is growing at about a 2 percent annual rate, but productivity is growing at a similar pace, said Robert A. Dye, chief economist for Dallas-based Comerica Bank. That negates any need to hire people, he said.

“There’s always going to be some churn of job creation vs. job reduction,” Dye said.

“Businesses right now are facing many unique challenges, despite the fact the economy is growing but growing only moderately.”

Perhaps the best

snapshot of cyclical ups and downs can be seen in the banking industry. Hiring and firing can happen around the same time in the same company but in different departments.

“You see this time and again – it’s tied to the business cycle,” said John Fleming, general counsel for the Texas Mortgage Bankers Association. “Segments of the industry change dramatically.”

Banks laid off workers in the financial crisis of 2008 and during the recession, but they also hired people to work with troubled loans and foreclosures. Now banks are laying off many of those workers as the U.S. economy and the housing market have improved.

Banks have seen a plunge

in the number of mortgage payments that are at least 90 days late. Bank of America, for example, has seen those late payments drop to about 500,000 today from 1.6 million in 2010.

“If we have one-third of the overdue loans ... we don’t need as much staff,” said Richard Holt, Dallas market president for Bank of America. “We had a unique situation to work through, and we’re getting on the other side of it.”

Economic and housing gains have also increased the need for bank workers in mortgage origination, small business lending and investments. Also, new bank regulations have led to hiring risk managers and compliance analysts.

“It was good timing for

Banking is not the only industry where this employment churn can be seen.

In June, the powerhouse law firm of Weil, Gotshal & Manges, which has represented Blockbuster and Lehman Brothers in bankruptcy, laid off about 60 lawyers and 110 support workers to weather a changing legal climate.

In an email to employees, Weil executive partner Barry Wolf in New York said the reason was because the “market for transaction activity remains at the lower levels” and the market for “premium legal services is continuing to shrink” after the 2008 financial crisis.

Craig Enoch, an Austin, Texas, lawyer and former Texas Supreme Court justice, has witnessed a shift away from the “traditional law firm role.”

He has seen less litigation because of state tort reform but more need for lawyers in arbitration cases, as well as more lawyers becoming corporate CEOs. The bigger question, he said, is: “What do we need to do not just to weather this but put us in a market niche to be successful in the future?”

EPA & DHA: The Fats of Life

By Lindsay Wilson

T

here are some nutrients that we all know are absolutely essential for life: the B vitamins, vitamins A, C, E, D, and K, for starters. In addition to these vitamins, there are also minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids that are essential for the proper functioning of the human body (there’s a reason they are called essential nutrients). Without a healthy balance of all of these nutrients, our bodies would simply not work. Most people know that our bodies need vitamins and minerals to survive, but they may not realize that the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA, found in the fish oil that we are told is so good for us, are also essential for life.

These fatty acids affect nearly every cell, tissue, and organ in the body and play a major role in supporting a healthy inflammatory response, thus significantly impacting your risk of developing (or not developing) a number of diseases, including heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer.

heart failure; and depression. And that’s just the first page of search results! Clearly, the omega3s play a huge role in human health, and there is research to back that up. In fact, EPA and DHA are two of the most extensively studied substances in modern medicine.

Just how far-reaching are the omega-3’s effect on health? A search for “omega-3 fatty acids” on the National Institutes of Health’s database of scientific journal articles turns up more than 17,000 studies on the omega-3s and their effect on a variety of health issues. There are studies investigating their role in fatty liver disease; learning and behavior in children; diabetes; neurogenesis; age-related macular degeneration; immunity; osteoarthritis;

Both EPA and DHA produce potent antiinflammatory compounds called eicosanoids and docosanoids. The anti-inflammatory eicosanoids derived from EPA reduce blood clotting; dilate blood vessels (decreasing high blood pressure); dilate air passages; reduce pain; enhance immunity; improve brain function; and decrease swelling and inflammation. The anti-inflammatory docosanoids produced by DHA are also thought to function as neuroprotectins in the brain and throughout the central nervous system, where DHA is concentrated.

Quenchers of inflammation One of the most important roles the omega-3s play in health is supporting a healthy inflammatory response in the body. It is now known that chronic, low-grade inflammation plays a major role in the development of most degenerative diseases. While it was once thought that the only inflammatory diseases were asthma, and “-itis” diseases like arthritis, colitis, and dermatitis, current research has proven that chronic inflammation is also an underlying cause of diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer.

In addition to the eicosanoids and docosanoids, several new families of compounds, produced only

by EPA and DHA, have recently been discovered that extinguish inflammation throughout the body, including in the brain. each family seems to have a distinct mechanism for targeting inflammation, including inhibiting the production and movement of inflammatory cells and controlling the duration and degree of inflammation. EPA also suppresses the production of nuclear factor-KB, a substance in cells that is responsible for regulating the expression of genes involved in inflammation.

Through these many mechanisms of controlling inflammation, EPA and DHA play a significant role in protecting the body from diseases that are either caused by or worsened by inflammation, from arthritis and asthma to heart disease and Alzheimer’s.

Protectors of the brain and heart In addition to their anti-inflammatory effects, two of the most researched areas investigating the omega-3’s influence on health are brain health and cardiovascular health. And the research overwhelmingly supports their cardioprotective and neuroprotective benefits.

When it comes to cardiovascular health, research has shown that EPA and DHA reduce clotting, control inflammation, support healthy triglyceride levels, and promote cell membrane health in the heart, thereby normalizing heart rhythm. One clinical study found that men with the highest levels of omega-3s had a 90 percent less risk of sudden cardiac death compared to those with lower levels. Some researchers have even suggested that low omega-3 blood levels be added as a new risk factor for sudden cardiac death.

Current recommendations, including those from the American Heart Association and the European Society for Cardiology, are 1 g (1,000 mg) daily.

While the omega-3s may be important players in maintaining cardiovascular health, they are crucial for brain health. The brain is 60 percent fat and DHA makes up the majority of that fat, influencing nerve transmission and cellular communication; less than optimal levels of DHA can negatively effect normal brain function. The omega-3s are critical in fetal and infant brain development, and in young and old alike, the omega-3s have proven to improve cognition, learning, attention, focus, and memory. They also have a positive effect on mood and mental health, particularly in depression and bipolar disorder. One study found EPA to be as effective as Prozac in reducing the symptoms of depression. In healthy people, 1,0002,000 mg of omega-3s daily is recommended. If you are suffering from depression or any other mental illness, work closely with your health care practitioner.

A 2009 survey of the preventable causes of deaths in the US concluded that each year 84,000 deaths are attributable to low-dietary omega-3 fatty acid intake. Most of us simply don’t eat enough cold water, fatty fish (the main food source of EPA and DHA) to obtain optimal levels of the omega-3 fats.

An omega-3 supplement is an easy way to get your daily dose of these vital nutrients.
