FERTILITY NOT TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED

Angie Kociolek

“

o you have any kids?” “When are you two going to have kids?” These may seem like benign ice breakers and cute, probing questions. Unless, that is, the person who you are asking is in the private struggle of trying to build a family. Most of us probably know or have met someone who is striving to have a child of their own, but because they are wearing a brave face, we may not know it.

Consider this: In the U.S., 7.4 million, or 1 in 8 women of reproductive age have received help for infertility in their lifetime. Or, through another lens, 1 in 8 couples have difficulty getting pregnant or sustaining a pregnancy. Infertility affects both men and women.

The definition of “infertility” varies a bit between the World Health Organization and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine but generally refers to a disease defined by the failure to achieve a successful pregnancy after 12 months of well-timed, unprotected sexual intercourse. According to their blog, RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association prefers to use the definition of infertility (and statistics) that include impaired fecundity – the inability to carry a pregnancy to a live birth.

For those affected, infertility is a health crisis fraught with physical, emotional, mental and financial burdens. For many, the seeming inability to procreate cuts to the existential core of their life’s purpose and what most people expect is a given, natural part of their life cycle as a male or female. I’ve read that the stress caused by infertility has been likened to a cancer diagnosis. When one is in the throes of an infertility struggle, it seems like pregnant women are everywhere – a constant reminder of what one cannot have. It can be overwhelming and feel like an emotional rollercoaster of shock, sadness, anger, disbelief, grief, envy, even guilt.

The secret struggle is often made even harder by the lack of cognizance of others. Even well-intentioned people can unwittingly add to the stress of those experiencing infertility by asking questions, sharing unnecessary information and/or giving unsolicited advice. Why does this matter? Stress is a fertility killer.

There are ways to reduce stress and boost fertility but they are not necessarily easy to do. And, one may have the cleanest diet, optimal weight and mindfulness practice and still experience fertility issues.

With this article, my hope is to broaden our collective awareness of this reproductive crisis – to let those experiencing infertility know there is support and give a little guidance on how to support others in crisis.

With the stats as they are, there are plenty of people around who are experiencing infertility, yet it can still feel very isolating. You do not have to feel alone. I learned that when I walked into a RESOLVE Bozeman infertility support group back in 2012. By then I was six years into my infertility journey.

There were about 10 other women at the meeting, and I was surprised to see a woman I knew. I had no idea we were both struggling! I don’t remember what I verbally shared at those meetings or the specifics of what others said. What I do remember was the feeling of comfort of being heard by those who understand because they were living it themselves.

Three years later, I found myself in the role of the peer support group leader, and I still volunteer my time to host meetings once a month. Most of the time, it’s an opportunity to share one’s story and to listen to others.

Inevitably a good discussion comes out of it, helping everyone feel validated for the wide-ranging feelings they have. Sometimes we have guest speakers, do mindfulness exercises or brainstorm coping mechanisms. The meetings are confidential and there is the tacit understanding that no matter what path one chooses – lifestyle changes, holistic medicine, assisted reproductive technology, adoption, donors, moving on to other aspects of life – there is no judgment. Just respect.

Outside of those meetings, my inability to conceive was a private matter shared with few. I have memories of a clandestine follicle-stimulating hormone injection in the back seat of our car while camping at Wade Lake with visiting family. Publicly, I can recall how my social interactions started shutting down in attempt to avoid the dreaded question about having or not having kids.

As the support group facilitator, some of the main laments I hear are about those people who ask the questions “Have you thought of adoption? Have you tried this? Have you tried that?” Yes, yes and yes, they probably have. Or, make the statements “So and so wasn’t even trying and got pregnant.” “Oh, their kids are so cute!” “You just need to relax.”

It can very hard to be empathetic without context surrounding the crisis and feelings someone else is experiencing. I was very fortunate that my family,

friends and in-laws didn’t pry or pressure me about why I was 40-something and had no kids. When I was ready to talk openly about our struggle with certain people, I felt they generally listened and respectfully kept their questions to a minimum.

While talking openly about struggles sometimes helps, it’s a very personal decision to decide when, where and how much to share. Remember that. If you don’t know if someone has children, it is usually a good idea to wait for a cue before asking about whether they have children. Think of it as an exercise in restraint. Your thoughtfulness may just make someone’s day or at least not make it harder. k Angie Kociolek navigated a six-year infertility journey and now is the mom of a kindergartner. She is the current volunteer peer support group leader for RESOLVE Bozeman. As a Licensed Acupuncturist, she works with men and women in her private practice, Rootstock Acupuncture, and serves as the Education Coordinator for the Montana Association of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine.

Angie also devotes time on the planning committee for the third annual Moms Like Me event (March 3, 2019) to shatter the myth of the post-partum experience.

hen you are on the hunt for a Bozeman sandwich that satisfies, it’s best not to overlook Biankini’s: The Soup, Salad & Sandwich Market. Tucked just off Bozeman’s North 19th Avenue at 2051 Oak Street Suite 1, Biankini’s offers fresh, healthy, and house-made soups, salads and sandwiches for every flavor palate. On a recent snowy morning, I sat down with owner/operator Robin Lester and her husband Jim to talk about all things soup and sandwich.

Angie Ripple: How was Biankini’s conceptualized? How did this place come about?

Robin Lester: A good friend of ours in California had a very similar store.

He gave us the recipes and the concept, and kind of guided us through the process. We wanted to franchise with him, but he wasn’t interested in that.

AR: When Biankini’s first open?

RL: October 4, 2010.

AR: Tell us a little about yourself.

What made you want to get into the restaurant industry?

RL: I’ve always had a fascination with food; it’s pretty much ruled every daily thought in my brain. I love food, and the idea of working with it, and making people happy and giving them the best possible product I can produce really appealed to me.

AR: What makes Biankini’s unique in Bozeman? What do you offer that other places don’t?

RL: We are always looking for the best possible products available, and we strive to provide an amazing experience.

Jim Lester: It’s the quality of the food; everything is house-made. All of the soups are house-made, the salad dressings are house-made; they were all designed by a Cordon Bleu Chef in San Francisco.

RL: Here soup is a thing. We develop our own soups. Once in a while we design a soup that none of the staff likes, and so we won’t serve it. We don’t just serve it to serve it; if it’s not exciting we won’t serve it.

AR: Can you tell us how you go through the process of creating a

Breakfast Sandwich on ciabatta with two eggs, cheese, bacon or sausage and a maple dijon glaze

new menu item and how the staff is involved?

RL: We don’t just create a new menu item and put it on the menu. We develop the product, and everybody tastes it and everybody gives their opinions. All of our staff tastes it, and when our regular customers come in, we’ll have them taste it and give feedback. It can be a long process, like our #12 Fajita Sandwich took us several weeks, and we tried a lot of different ways of doing it. But our #15, we did a couple different renditions of it and boom it was perfect and I can eat that one (laughing).

AR: What do you want people to experience when they walk through your door?

RL: I want people to experience great food, and I just want them to walk away and say, “That was the best meal of my life” or “That was the best meal I’ve had in town,” or something like that. And, whether it’s something that I don’t feel appealing but they do, that’s great. I want them to try different things on the menu. I had one guy the other day say, “I always order the Tri-Tip Sandwich, and I ended up ordering the #15 and that was the most amazing sandwich I’ve ever had.” It’s

opening their taste buds and elevating their experience up a notch to make it something that they will remember.

People will come through here and years later one their friends will come through because they said, “You have to go to Biankini’s,” and that’s what really thrills me is when they say, “It was everything that so-and-so told me it was going to be.”

We got the saying “No Bad Days” from a restaurant in Cabo, a good friend of a good friend of ours, so we just kind of adopted it because we want people to have No Bad Days here. They are always welcome, they are always going to have a great meal, there are No Bad Days, and they will be happy about it.

AR: What do you enjoy most about being part of the Bozeman community?

RL: The enjoyment I get is it’s an eclectic group of people. Everybody has their own story, wherever their from it’s always a very interesting story about how they arrived in Bozeman and how they love it, and how they want to stay forever.

SUN SIGN HOROSCOPE MARCH 2019 Aries: Emotional and mental challenges ease on the 2nd, allowing you to indulge in a much needed recharge. Put impatience on pause.

Even though you do not see it, things are moving forward. Watch out! Mercury is in retrograde, communication can glitch.

Taurus: There is no easy way about it, Uranus enters into your sign, the beginning of a seven year sojourn which will have you trying to decide whether to make concrete plans or to toss it all and let a little new into your life. Work is challenging, but keep quiet!

Gemini: Celestial happenings on the 5th (Mercury Retrograde) and 6th (Uranus enters Taurus) will have you lost in confusion and more than a little out of sorts. You cannot maintain control over the situation. You do not have to make sense of a confusing situation.

Cancer: You will get to take a breather this month and not everything feels so much like a life or death decision.

Watch for a new potential opening up in the business world. Look carefully before making the choice; follow your heart but balance it with your head.

Leo: Uranus moving into Taurus is going to have you questioning many things you felt were core decisions that would not change. It is time to reestablish goals. Look to your sweetie for help in freeing grounded. Career decisions now bring great changes.

Virgo: Try to ignore the inclination to dig in your heels and hold yourself in place. The one constant in life is change and with Uranus entering Taurus; everything can change in a moment. This is an opportunity for growth and advancement – seize the day!

Libra: Those strange thoughts and errant ideas finally coalesce into an idea path that makes sense and you are more than happy to follow. After taking the time to double check (Mercury is in Retrograde from the 5th through the 28th), go for it.

Scorpio: While you did your best to avoid them, the emotional and mental gyrations still feel a lot like chasing yourself around in circles. Now it is time to make decisions and act on them. This will result in a much-needed pause from worry and fret.

Sagittarius: A quick get-away would sure help the morale, and it is needed. You have had a lot going on and feeling like you had little control.

Now you can take some downtime and ponder your choices at your leisure. Give yourself a break.

Capricorn: Rethinking and going over old territory may not be your forte, but it is the best way to use the combined energy of the Mercury Retrograde (on the 5th) and Uranus’ move into Taurus (on the 6th). A new opportunity is found in the within old plans.

Aquarius: March 6th marks a move into the inevitable as Uranus enters Taurus, signifying a seven year period of ups and downs that tests your patience. This may last for seven years, but you can control some of the roller coaster ride.

Pisces: You could find focusing and accomplishment difficult to make happen. Allow your intuition to take you through a time of great personal change. You are being offered a chance to realign your choices with your desires. Use it well.

AR: What is your most popular dish?

RL: #3 our Turkey, Avocado and Cheese sandwich is our most popular.

Everybody that eats it loves it; it outsells all of our other sandwiches by about double.

AR: What’s your favorite?

RL: This week I’d say it’s the #15.

We’ve had to try a few different products in it, and I think we’ve found the best combination of the pork and the sauce. It’s just a really different tasting sandwich; it’s a Cubano sandwich, but our variation of it. Instead of using yellow mustard like a traditional Cubano, we are using a spicy mustard, which blends really well with the pulled pork and the Capicolla Ham that goes with it, and then the pickles that go on it really sets it off; it’s a great sandwich.

AR: Do you have anything coming up that you would like the readers to know about?

RL: We began our breakfast menu October 5, 2018, and I was not in on creating the menu, so I can say that I think it is very creative. We have breakfast sandwiches, burritos and scrambles. We open at 7 a.m. during the week and 8 a.m. on the weekend.

The breakfast sandwich with the Maple Dijon is truly out of this world; my first bite offered an immediate flavor sensation that had me OMGing all morning. I would also recommend giving your morning a delicious kick with a pulled pork burrito; come hungry because the burritos are large, hot and delicious.

Biankini’s is going on a decade of persuading local tastebuds into coming back for more. Give them a try, or get back in to try some house-made deliciousness again soon. r Angie Ripple is the co-owner/publisher of Bozeman Magazine. She wrangles her three children with her husband Brian while living the Big Sky dream. She is often hungry.

SNOW SLIDER !!!

Montana Grant

S

hoveling snow is hard work! Having the right tool will make this chore quicker and easier. You might be thinking that a powerful snowblower or wide shovel is best, but with a little handy work, you can make an even more efficient tool.

Snow shoveling means shovels, gloves, boots, and warm clothing. Moving snow out of the driveways and sidewalks is tough work. Power snowblowers are perfect for deep and heavy snow, but not all snow is the same.

16

MARCH 2019

www.bozemanmagazine.com

Wet snow and powder snow are two different beasts. Heavy, wet snow must be moved, carried, or thrown. This means strain, sweat, and stress. Light, powder snow can be slid more easily. Most Montana snow tends to be the lighter, softer type. It is best to move it before it becomes compressed by cars or footprints. Once compressed, the snow becomes ice.

Montana Snow this year has been coming in small doses. 1-3 inches has been routine. Since we are at a higher altitude, the snow tends to be lighter and powdery. It tends to blow easily and form drifts. It also is easily compacted. Once compressed, the snow becomes a solid mass. It takes more effort and work to remove the snow once solid.

These intermittent, lighter snowfalls need to be cleared, so that they don’t build up over the winter. Many communities have a covenant or municipal requirement to keep public walkways open. Getting out the power snowblower is more effort than needed. Usually a shovel will do the trick. Using a heavy snowblower can require too much effort when the snow could be simply slid out of the way.

To address the lighter snow, try making a Snow Slider. This wooden tool will allow you to quickly move light snow in a hurry. Using this tool, you can eliminate your snow as fast as you can walk. The slider allows you to clear the entire width of your sidewalk in one swipe. Since you are sliding the snow, you don’t need to pick it up and throw it. No back pain or stress required.

Construct a wooden frame the width of your sidewalk. Let’s say the walk is 40 inches wide. The bottom blade boards need to be that width and about 16 inches high. Use thin, but not flexible wood. Strengthen the corners with plywood angles.

The very bottom board needs to be angled at about 45 degrees, so that the blade will slide easily. You want the slider to be belly high. This will allow you to angle the blade and push from the waist, using both hands.

There is no one right way to build this unit. The goal is to construct a lightweight, sturdy frame that you can push the snow with. Feel free to modify and adapt the unit to meet your needs. Originally, I made my Snow Slider out of metal conduit pipe, angles, and brackets. This made the unit strong, but I found that I was always tightening and adjusting the fittings. Wood made it simple and strong.

Moving the snow to the side is easy. Simply push the snow until it fills the blade, then steer it off to the side. If you angle the blade, the snow is directed off to the side. After working the Snow Slider, you may still need to clean things up with a shovel.

The wide, curved, pusher blades are perfect for sliding snow. They come in different widths and have a PVC handle. The curved blade is made of heavy-duty plastic to keep the weight down. Metal shovels tend to be heavy and allow snow to stick to them. You can grease them up with Pam spray or wax, but they still force the user to do more work. Our goal here is to do less work, more easily and simply.

Just because a shovel is heavy and strong does not mean it is smart.

The other day it snowed 3 inches. I went outside to get my paper and used the Snow Slider to make a path. My neighbor was getting out his powerful snow blower. I walked my sidewalk, driveway, and front walks while sliding the snow.

In the time it took me to walk these areas, I was finished sliding the snow. Once in the house, I was reading my paper and drinking a cup of coffee when I heard my neighbor finally start up his gas blower.

Here are the dimensions for my homemade Snow Slider.

Cost depends upon what wood scraps you may have on hand.

Use 2in. x 2in. wood for the frame. It is just the right size to wrap your hand around.

Make the Slider 48 in. tall and 45 in. wide. ( or the width of your sidewalks) Use a 2x4 board to add weight and strength the very bottom of the frame.

Don’t forget to cut an angle along the bottom edge to allow for easy sliding.

Blade boards are ½ inch thick and 6 in. wide. Stack together for a width of 12 in.

The top two triangle corners are thin plywood 9 in. wide.

Use galvanized screws to connect all wood parts.

Hang the Snow Slider along the fence so it is handy. Use it before walking or driving on any fresh snow. If a heavy snow is predicted, address the snow in increments of 2-3 inches. It will still take less time to slide it away than using other methods. I did our last 6-inch snowfall 3 times in the time it took me to walk the area. I never needed to use a shovel or throw any snow. The neighbors are amazed at how fast and effective the Snow Slider is.

The wood will sand itself, over time, on your sidewalks, to help form the angle on the blade. The Snow Slider works best on smooth sidewalks and driveways.

If your driveway and sidewalk surface is rough and inconsistent, the blade can be modified. Simply add wheels or wood runners to elevate the blade slightly. Now you can still move the snow without getting stuck on rocks and cracks. It may not clear them completely but will still remove most of the snow.

The goal is to do the most work, more quickly, with the least effort so you can enjoy reading Bozeman Magazine with a warm cup of coffee.

Slide your snow away! g For more Montana Grant. Find him at www.montanagrantfishing.com

BOZEMAN SPRING BREAK STAYCATION IDEAS Angie Ripple

M

arch is Spring Break for Bozeman’s elementary, middle, high school and MSU students [March 16-24]. If you are staying home this spring break and are looking for some fun stuff to do around town, here is a quick list of staycation ideas for any Bozemanite:

Bozeman Hot Springs in Four Corners is an obvious choice for locals. The major renovation in 2016 added three large outdoor pools, seating areas, a stage, and accenting fire walls. Catch some music from the outdoor stage several nights a week, enjoy the sauna, indoor pools and even get some reps in at the gym if you’d like.

Sky Resort. Spring break is a great chance to take a day trip to resorts a little further from home: Red Lodge Mountain Resort, Showdown, Discovery, Great Divide or Grand Targhee. March is a great time to get some spring turns in!

TAKE A SOAK

GO TO THE THEATER

Both Haynes Pavilion and Ressler Motors Ice Rink at the Ice Barn [901 N. Black Ave] will be open during spring break with many skating options. Try out the Adult Puck Lunch, All Ages Stick and Puck, Public Skating (No Sticks & Pucks), or take in an adult league game. For a full schedule of events go to: https://www.bozemanhockey.org/schedules. The City of Bozeman also has three outdoor ice rinks skaters can enjoy any time for free (Beall Park, Southside Park, & Bogert Park).

The Bozeman area is home to amazing hot springs! Take a drive to the Paradise Valley for a soak in Bozeman’s Choice developed hot springs - Chico Hot Springs. Chico is nestled at the foot of beautiful and quiet mountains. The restaurants and bar will keep you comfortable, and the outdoor pools are hot and cozy. Make your reservations for next spring break now!

Just down the road from Chico is our area’s newest hot springs, Yellowstone Hot Springs. Open in early March 2019, YHS is located just minutes away from Yellowstone Park’s north entrance (Gardiner), and is “the perfect point of relaxation in your Montana adventure!”

Another quick road trip in the opposite direction to Norris Hot Springs will allow a soak in the “Water of the Gods.” The small, wooden, outdoor pool is hot, hot, hot. Immerse yourself in nature at Norris; have a homegrown meal and regional drink in the pool to top it off.

THE SENSUAL FISH Montana State University Library’s Annual Trout and Salmonid Lecture Ann Vinciguerra & James Thull

I

t’s almost spring again and that means anglers are getting ready to get their lines in some of the pristine trout fishing waters around Bozeman. It also means it is time again for the MSU Trout and Salmonid Lecture. Our lecturer this year is acclaimed writer and professor of English, Henry Hughes. The title of his talk is “The Sensual Fish: A Playful and Scholarly Evening.” It will be held at 7 p.m. on April 2, at the Rialto in downtown Bozeman. As always, the lecture is free and open to the public, and a reception will follow.

Through fishing, Hughes crosses boundaries of race, ethnicity, gender, and class, and learns important life lessons as he interacts with people who share his love of fishing and enjoy the sensual connection between the salty pleasures and tensions of human and fish life.

“This year we’re trying something completely different with the Trout Lecture,” said MSU Library Dean Kenning Arlitsch. “Henry is an engaging speaker, and we look forward to his exploration of literature, art and popular culture at the confluence of piscine and human existence.”

Hughes grew up on Long Island, New York, and has lived in Oregon since 2002 where he’s a professor of literature and writing at Western Oregon University. He is the author of four collections of poetry, including the Oregon Book Award -winning Men Holding Eggs. His memoir, Back Seat with Fish: A Man’s Adventures in Angling and Romance, was

published in 2016 by Skyhorse.

An active angler, naturalist, and literary critic, Hughes edited the Everyman’s Library anthologies Art of Angling: Poems about Fishing and Fishing Stories. His essays and reviews appear regularly in the Flyfishing and Tying Journal and Harvard Review.

“There’s something inherently sensuous and sensual about fish.” said Hughes. “Cleopatra likens seducing Antony to angling for ‘tawny-finned fishes,’ and the poet Lorca casts for a ‘brunette of Granada . . . who will not bite.’ I look forward to discussing this delightfully slippery world at the Trout Lecture.”

Through the annual Trout Lecture, the library strives to speak to all aspects of trout and salmonids and to represent the diversity of angling culture. “Henry’s stories aren’t just for people who fish,” said Arlitsch. “They’re for anyone who enjoys human connection and a good story.” RSVPs to the lecture are encouraged. Guests may register by calling 406-994-6857 on online at www.montana. edu/calendar/events/28651.

LECTURE SERIES

The lecture is sponsored as a part of the Trout and Salmonid Library at MSU Library and has hosted authors, politicians, artists, and scientists.

It is made possible through the generous contributions of donors. Past speakers have included: Nathaniel Reed - Secretary of the Interior for Fish, Wildlife, and Parks under Presidents Nixon and Ford. Nathaniel helped write some of the most important environmental legislation ever enacted, including the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, and Endangered Species Act. James Prosek - Author of several books including Trout of the World and Early Love and Brook Trout. James is an acclaimed artist and angler who has fished the world over.

Dan Wenk - Recently retired Superintendent of Yellowstone National Park. Dan is

CLASSIC ROCK MEETS CLASSIC COUNTRY STEVE MILLER BAND & MARTY STUART AND HIS FABULOUS SUPERLATIVES Mandi Zillner & Anthony DeCurtis

C

oming off an extraordinary Spring tour, Rock n' Roll Hall of Famer Steve Miller is looking forward to his summer tour with Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives. Calling it “An Amazing Evening of Original American Music – Classic Rock Meets Classic Country,” the tour is certain to be one of the premiere traveling concerts of summer 2019.

“I know it is going to be one of the best musical pairings we've ever done and an amazing evening of great American music,” says Miller. “For those Steve Miller Band fans who don't know Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives -- Marty Stuart, Kenny Vaughan, Harry Stinson & Chris Scruggs -- together they are one of the best singing and playing bands EVER and not to be missed. Marty is one of the finest musicians in the world -- an amazing singer, song writer and country music scholar and it’s an honor to have him join us this summer for an unbelievable evening of original American music.”

Says Stuart, "Steve Miller is a treasure and a true world-class musical citizen.

I so respect him as a singer, a songwriter, guitar slinger, historian, art connoisseur, bandleader and friend. It's an honor for the Superlatives and I to run the roads of the nation and share the stage with the Steve Miller Band this summer. I predict some amazing musical moments out there on the horizon."

STEVE MILLER Steve Miller has been an enlivening presence on the American music scene for more than half a century. To begin with, he was a mainstay of the San Francisco music scene that upended American culture in the late '60s. With albums like Children of the Future, Sailor and Brave New World, Miller perfected a psychedelic blues sound that drew on the deepest sources of American roots music and simultaneously articulated a compelling vision of what music - and, indeed, society - could be in the years to come.

Then, in the '70s, Miller crafted a brand of pure pop that was smart, polished, exciting and irresistible - and that dominated radio in a way that few artists have ever managed. Hit followed hit in what seemed like an endless flow: “The Joker,” "Take the Money and Run," "Rock'n Me," "Fly Like an Eagle," "Jet Airliner" and "Jungle Love," among them.

To this day, those songs are instantly recognizable when they stream on the radio - and impossible not to sing along with. Their hooks are the very definition of indelible.

Running through Miller’s distinctive catalog is a combination of virtuosity and song craft.

And that’s no accident. His parents were jazz aficionados, not to mention close friends of Les Paul and Mary Ford, so,

22

MARCH 2019

as a budding guitarist, Miller absorbed valuable lessons from that musical tradition.

When the family moved to Texas, Miller deepened his education in the blues with family friend T-Bone Walker. Miller then moved to Chicago, where he played with Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, James Cotton and Paul Butterfield. That range of sources informs his music to this day.

In recent years, Miller has fully immersed himself in the blues and its many byways. As he has always done, he continues to find creative outlets for the full panoply of his musical passions. On his successful tours with the Steve Miller Band, he complements the commercial peaks of his extensive catalogue with lesser-known songs that expand his fans’ awareness of the range of his work. As a member of the Board of Directors at Jazz at Lincoln Center, he has curated and headlined shows that explore themes like the bridge from blues to jazz in the music of guitar great T-Bone Walker; the distinctive sounds of the blues triangle of Memphis, Texas and Chicago; the resonances between the singular musical creations of Ma Rainey and Miles Davis; and the deep American roots music of Appalachia. He is also a member of the visiting committee of the Department of Musical Instruments at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Indeed, five of his guitars will be displayed in “Play It Loud: The Instruments of Rock and Roll,” a groundbreaking exhibition at the Met that will run from April 8 through October 1 of this year.

In the course of his long, full career, Miller has sold tens of millions of records and his music has been streamed well over 2 billion times. With each listen the beauty and immediacy of his work, whether at its most playful or most serious, is palpable. As always, whether he was riding the top of the charts or traveling the endless blue highways of American music, you can hear him playing and singing with conviction and precision, passion and eloquence, making music that is at once immediately accessible, thrillingly alive in the present, and more than able to stand the test of time.

MARTY STUART Marty Stuart is a five time GRAMMY-winner, platinum recording artist, Lifetime Achievement Award recipient from the Americana Music Association, Grand Ole Opry star, country music archivist, photographer, musician, and songwriter. Since starting out singing gospel as a child, Stuart has spent over four decades celebrating American roots music. His teenage years on tour with bluegrass legend Lester Flatt in the ‘70s were followed by six years in Johnny Cash’s band in the ‘80s, and a chart-topping tenure as a solo artist in the ‘90s. Stuart hosts a Late Night Jam at The Ryman, a yearly tradition which kicks off the CMA Music Festival, with recent guests including Dolly Parton, Jerry Lee Lewis, Neko Case, Eric Church, Chris Stapleton, Maren Morris, Dan Auerbach and many more. g Friday, August 16, Cove Creek Outdoor Pavilion - Billings, MT Tickets $65 available at The Shrine, by calling 866-468-7624 and online at: TicketWeb.com or CoveCreekConcerts.com Saturday, August 17 Big Sky Brewing Co.

PRINT COLLECTIONS

In addition to the lecture series, the library houses the world’s largest collection of materials on trout and salmonids. The print collection numbers over 13,000 volumes and includes over 600 periodicals from around the world, a rare volume signed by Izaak Walton, and the first book to mention fishing in the new world published in 1521.

The collection aims to collect, preserve, and disseminate information on all aspects related to trout and salmonids. In house it is called the sixdegrees of trout and salmon. It means the library collects anything (and I mean anything) related to these species. This includes children’s books, fishing regulations, guide books, maps, government information, fly-tying manuals, etc. The collection is unique because researchers can come in and find materials on almost anything they need information about. If they want to look at children’s books from the early 1900s they can. If they want to look at poetry or copies of the Izaak Walton’s Complete Angler from 1740 on, they can do so.

ARCHIVES

MSU also holds the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of angling-related archival collections. The primary source, original documents are one-of–a-kind and can be viewed in person at the MSU Special Collections library, which is open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Many local anglers, guides, and authors are represented, including Paul Schullery, Datus Proper, Bud Lilly, Bob Jacklin, Craig and Jackie Mathews, George Grant, and Sylvester Nemes. In addition to local celebrities, the archive is also home to the papers of Adriano Manocchia, John Gierach, Ed Engle, Dave Hughes, Robert Benhke, Tom Alkire, Nick Lyons, and Charlie Brooks.

ANGLING ORAL HISTORY PROJECT

The Angling Oral History Collections aim is to capture the culture, knowledge and history of angling in our time on a global scale. The collection was started only four years ago and has grown to include nearly 300 interviews with artists, government employees, scientists, fly tiers, and anglers from across the world. The Willow Springs Foundation funded the project with a grant that has allowed MSU to collect interviews in over 45 countries on six continents. The database is housed at https://www.lib.montana.edu/trout/oralhistories/ and is freely accessible to anyone with an internet connection. v Ann Vinciguerra is the events and communications coordinator at MSU Library.

ChickenJam West Doubles Up 3/15 At The Filling Station STOPS AT THE RIALTO

ith 12 years of relentless touring behind them, Vermont-based rock band Twiddle has built an impressive resume spanning Red Rocks to Bonnaroo, and multiple sellouts of historic rock venues including Port Chester, NY’s Capitol Theatre, and Washington D.C.’s 9:30 Club. And with the second half of the band’s third studio album, PLUMP, on the horizon, the band’s career continues to catapult forward.

Buoyed by the generous support of 359 Kickstarter donors, the 27-song album does more than showcase the group’s beautiful music, but also tells an important story, comprised in PLUMP Chapters 1 & 2.

Recorded during a two-year span with legendary producer Ron St. Germain, PLUMP serves as a reflection of four brothers’ triumphs and struggles, both individual and as a whole. On Chapter 1, songs like “Lost in the Cold” and “Every Soul” detail what it’s like to hit rock bottom and how to rise back up.

“So many fans have shared how these songs carried them through very difficult times, and that alone makes this all worth it,” said Brook Jordan, Twiddle’s percussionist and vocalist. Comparatively, Chapter 2 contains genre-bending instrumentals, as well as mystifying epics like “Nicodemus Portulay” and “Orlando’s.” More than ten years later, these songs mirror the earliest Twiddle arrangements of 2004-2005 when Mihali Savoulidis and Ryan Dempsey were collaborating in their freshmen dorms at Castleton State College. The completion of PLUMP is timely, coming at a moment when the band’s fervent fan base is at an all-time high and expanding rapidly. In the live setting, more and more people are invigorated by Twiddle’s community, promoting positivity and the band’s skillful improvisational music.

So many like-minded people believe in the greater good, and they find that good in Twiddle.

Twiddle is comprised of Zdenek Gubb on bass and vocals, Ryan Dempsey on keyboards and vocals, Mihali Savoulidis on guitar and lead vocals, and Brook Jordan on percussion and vocals. A more detailed biography of each band member, along with upcoming tour dates and updates, can be found at TwiddleMusic.com Twiddle will be in Bozeman at the Rialto Theatre on Thursday, March 21, 2019.

ADRIAN LEGG - EARLY

lobally acclaimed by critics and fans alike for his unique acoustic and electric fingerstyle guitar playing, Adrian Legg masterfully blends diverse musical styles, influences and inspirations to create a distinctive sound all his own. With multiple awards and accolades spanning four decades, Legg has been heralded as a “guitarist of astonishing virtuosity, (whose) imagination and melodic invention seem unbounded,” (Q magazine); “ridiculously talented,” (Music Week) and “simply the best acoustic guitar player I’ve ever heard.”(guitar icon Joe Satriani).

Setting the stage for his international success in the decades to follow, Legg was named as Acoustic Guitarist of the Decade by the UK’s Guitarist Magazine (1984-94), and Best Acoustic Fingerstylist in Guitar Player Magazine’s Readers’ Poll for four years in a row (1993-96).

This is an early SEATED show. The doors open at 7p.m. with music at 8p.m. As always it is 21+ and tickets are $25 in advance and $28 at the door.

Tickets available at Cactus Records and online at cactusrecords.net

BROTHERS GOW & STILLGONE - LATE Situated between deep improvisational musicianship and dynamic, original songwriting, Brothers Gow brings to the stage an imaginative style of modern rock, progressive funk and unpredictable retro-electronic jams. Through an exploration in lively and evolving sound, Brothers Gow has managed to stay true to its roots, which are found in the vibrant vocal styles and extensive range of front men Kyle Merrill (guitar/vocals) and Ethan Wade (bass/vocals). Merrill's emotional solos in tandem with skilled shredding are balanced by the avant-garde bass musings and riff writing of Wade. Brothers Gow is rounded out by wild syncopation and explosive grooves from drummer Nathan Walsh-Haines, and the exploratory and harmonic subtleties of keyboardist Alex Mello who joined the lineup in early 2018.

Please note: This is a LATE SHOW after Adrian Legg (seated), with music at 10p.m. Early arrivals will be asked to wait outside the Filling Station until the early show is 100% completed.

ontana has a long history with drama, live theater, and child actors. Mary Ronan, a child who lived in Virginia City and Helena during the gold rush days of the 1860s and 1870s, was chosen to play the character of Lady Anne in a performance of Shakespeare’s Richard III. Mary recalled years later how important drama was to her, and how performing the role of Lady Anne was a defining moment for her life and education.

Today’s Bozeman kids involved in theater are continuing the tradition begun in pioneer days of Montana’s history. Bozeman currently has several organizations that provide opportunities for children to learn about drama, with different organizations focusing on different aspects of the art. The Ellen Theatre’s Tate Academy, Verge Children’s Theater, Montana Shakes!, Equinox, Yellowstone Theatre Project, and Kaleidoscope Theater all provide opportunities for children in Bozeman to learn stagecraft.

Among the first of the theater organizations in Bozeman to offer acting camps for children was Camp Equinox, founded in 1996. Equinox provides two sessions, four weeks per session, each summer for kids in grades 1 through 8. Equinox uses camp counselors to help direct the kids through improvisational acting, playwriting, mask-making, and puppetry. Children enjoy the guided outlets of creativity, culminating in live performances for adoring parents and family friends. Special emphasis is placed on learning and developing creativity, putting kids in a gentle spotlight, showcasing their developing personalities, and encouraging them to feel free to perform for others.

The Kaleidoscope Youth Theater began providing opportunities for community members to exercise their creative dramatic side with a production of The Victory Garden in 2000. Year-round camps and afterschool workshops have grown and expanded since then. Kaleidoscope Players perform from 4 to 5 shows per year; summer camps offer up to six sessions each summer, after school Club Kaleidoscope offers three eight-week sessions per school year, and an occasional “PIR Camp;” anyone who wishes to have a chance at working with some aspect of a live performance will have their chance through Kaleidoscope.

Verge Theater has always made education a priority in their mission.

Recently they’ve expanded by bringing theater into Bozeman area schools.

With a special focus on community building, improvisation, full-production experience, along with the idea that theater can provide a safe space for selfexpression, the Verge gives kids the chance to fail while taking risks on stage.

Being able to interact with like-minded people, children who go through the Verge programs quickly discover they have become part of another supportive community. Children and teenagers complete their educational sessions with productions on the Verge stage, open to the public.

Verge Education coordinator Jessie Sherman notes that for many children, their only exposure to theater comes when an acting company comes to their

26

MARCH 2019

school. Verge tries to meet that need by going to the schools and providing theater in the classroom. Another important aspect of theater, according to Sherman, is the mixing of the ages in theater: “For many children, they go to school where they interact only with their classmates. In theater programs they usually are part of different age groups that work closely together, giving children the experience of working with built-in mentors and role models.”

Shakespeare in the Parks expanded its outreach programs in 2008 by adding Montana Shakes!, which brings interactive theater to elementary schools. Shakes! emphasizes themes of Shakespeare, how stories are told, and the power of words. This interactive theater program comes to elementary schools with three to four professional actors who put on theatrical workshops with elementary children, encouraging kids to put on costumes, engage with

“will take their ability to create, communicate, and nurture out of the theatre classroom and into their lives.”

Just as Mary Ronan in 1868 learned how important drama and acting was to her, Hugh Burroughs and Maya Dickerson, both teenage actors with experience from Equinox, Verge, and the Tate Academy, have gained tremendous experience from their times in the children’s theater organizations of Bozeman. Last October Hugh performed the role of Andrea in Bozeman Actors Theatre’s production of Life of Galileo. Maya performed in Intermountain Opera’s A Little Night Music, and Bozeman Actors Theatre’s Middletown. They performed together on stage in the teen theater production at the Verge of Emma, as well as the Tate Academy’s production of Two Gentlemen of Verona.

Like Mary Ronan from 150 years ago, Hugh and Maya find performing drama life-changing.

Watching the productions from organizations such as the Tate Academy, The Verge, and the Kaleidoscope is to witness professional-quality theater performed by young people who have gained the advantage of self-confidence, acting process, empathy, self-awareness, and responsibility, along with a sense of teamwork and community. b For upcoming productions from these companies, as well as more information about enrolling in classes, please contact the organizations directly: Tate Academy: www.tateacademy.org/contact or call 406.585.6918 characters, and become part of the performances. Special emphasis is given to language. Veteran Shakes! Education Director Stephanie Chavala says, “These young kids grasp essential meanings of language, including Shakespearean language, faster than adults.” Children come out of a Shakes! workshop eager to try out their language skills and newly-stretched imaginations.

The Tate Academy provides children from 3rd through 12th grades with the chance to explore their thoughts and ideas, what it means to be an actor, to take on a character, and to bring that character to life on the stage. Tate teachers focus on process, leading kids through all the steps to create professional quality theater. Mark Kuntz, one of the Tate Academy teachers, notes that Tate likes to use the classics, especially Shakespeare, as a teaching vehicle for the children. He says, “It’s so much fun to see the kids work through a hard part in Shakespeare, and then suddenly see the light come on” as they gain an understanding of the power of the language and the power of the stage.

Especially thrilling to the kids who are part of the Tate program is the chance to offer performances for the general public in The Ellen Theatre on a proscenium stage with full curtains, lights, and to feel the history of this elegant old theater, built in 1919. Shakespeare’s Hamlet was very well received when the Tate teenagers put on a performance in January by a talented cast of young actors directed by Kuntz.

The Yellowstone Theological Institute of Bozeman sponsors a student play festival for youth between 3rd and 12th grades. Participants can develop and perform their own original pieces, learn acting, and gain experience in directing and stage managing performances.

While it may seem odd that Yellowstone Theological Institute sponsors drama and acting classes, President Jay Smith notes that drama speaks to the human need for understanding, empathy with suffering, heartbreak, hurt, and sadness. He comments that “existential narratives of the Bible or Greek tragedy are the genesis of most of the oldest dramas known to humankind.”

Smith points out that drama helps us understand and cope with the human condition. The Yellowstone Theological Institute wants to use drama to help children and young adults find ways to come to terms with the emotions and experiences of life through the beauty, joy, frivolity, deviousness, sadness and laughter that can come with live theater.

Professional actors Kristin Hammargren and Miles Duffey lead the weeklong workshop. Yellowstone Theatre Project Spring Break runs from March 18-22, 2019. Hammargren, the Director of the Yellowstone Theatre Project, is eager to work with the students who attend the Spring Break Camp. Hammargren describes her drama classroom as more laboratory than classroom, like a science laboratory that explores different inputs and processes to see how things turn out. The goal of her classrooms is to provide a place and community where students can safely experiment and fail, as failure is expected if the actors are experimenting with new ideas. But the safety of these drama laboratories is built in with the ensembles. Hammargren trusts that the students

arch is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of all American women.

Throughout history, countless local ladies have lent their expertise, talents, and time to make our region and community a better place.

Here are just a few of the remarkable women that have made their mark on Bozeman history.

MARY LONG ALDERSON

In an early 20th century world in which women were restricted by corsets and politics, Mary Long Alderson rose as a shining star. Mary’s husband was Matt Alderson, a Bozeman newspaperman. She took advantage of her family’s media

platform to promote her views on temperance, women’s suffrage, and sensible female dress, publishing columns in the Avant Courier newspaper. In addition to her work as a dedicated member of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), she also tirelessly campaigned for Montana’s adoption of the bitterroot as the state flower and is widely viewed as the driving force behind the flower’s ultimate selection.

FRIEDA BULL

Frieda Bull taught mathematics at Montana State College for nearly half a century. Bull came with her parents to the Gallatin Valley in 1893, where she excelled academically. She was valedictorian of her 1903 Gallatin County High School graduating class and went on to study math and physics at Montana State College. She graduated with honors in 1907, earned a master’s degree in 1909, and spent her entire career teaching mathematics at MSC (now MSU), retiring in 1954. According to research assembled by historian Connie Staudohar in the book, Bozeman Women’s Heritage Trail, “At a time when few women received a college education, let alone held a faculty position, Frieda Bull was an anomaly, rising to full professorship in what many still consider a nontraditional field for women. By her own estimate, she taught 14,000 students in her long career, the large majority of them males, and it was these young men who established the saying around campus that their professor’s initials—FMB—stood for “flunking many boys.”

and math at Gallatin County High School. She also served nine years as Gallatin County Superintendent of Schools and taught summer education courses at Montana State College. Davis was remembered as a fantastic teacher, but more importantly, she viewed every student as special and treated them accordingly. Perhaps her most famous pupil was movie-star Gary Cooper, who made it a point to visit her each time he returned home to Montana.

MARGA HOSEAUS

Born in San Francisco in 1918, Marga Hosaeus spent most of her childhood in Germany. Beginning in 1945, following graduate school in Illinois, Hoseaus served as head of the Women’s Health and Physical Education Department at Montana State College. After the men’s and women’s physical education departments were merged, Hosaeus continued teaching at Montana State as a professor until her retirement in 1979. A new health and recreation center was constructed at Montana State University in 1984 and christened the Marga Hosaeus Health, Physical Education and Recreation Complex.

soft spot in her heart for other single women, and she made friends among the students and faculty at Montana State College. Her friends included academics like Bertha Clow, Olga Ross Hannon, and Harriette Cushman. In addition to hosting the annual Thanksgiving dinners, which lasted from 1927 to 1964, Martin opened her spacious family home to college students and faculty, who rented rooms from the basement to the third floor. Julia Martin passed away in 1966, but her legacy lives on in her South Grand Avenue house, where the current owners continue her tradition of hospitality.

ELIZABETH LINA ALDERSON HOUSTON AND THE BOZEMAN HOUSEKEEPER’S CLUB

The Bozeman Housekeeper’s Club, formed in 1894, was more than just a club that provided socializing opportunities for local females. By the time it disbanded in the mid-1980s, the 90-year-old organization had the distinction of being one of the oldest women’s clubs in the state. Besides fostering an interest in housekeeping and domestic science, early club members also studied books, plays, and art. Members of the club acted as community advocates. They pushed for better garbage disposal, assisted the Red Cross, and hosted events for charity.

One prominent member in the club’s early years was E. Lina Houston, who convinced club members to join the Montana Federation of Women’s Clubs.

Houston herself was a well-known local woman outside of the club. In 1933, she wrote and published a history of Bozeman and the surrounding area titled Early History of Gallatin County, Montana.

In December 1962, a letter by Judge William Wallace Lessley printed in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle eulogized teacher Ida Davis as “a very little lady. But she stood tall and strong in the minds and hearts of hundreds of her former students.”

Davis came to Bozeman in 1903 from Missouri and spent most of the next 47 years teaching English

JULIA MARTIN

On Thanksgiving Day in 1945, a group of 15 women gathered in Julia Martin’s large dining room. As Julia carved the turkey, the guests (mostly single female educators and academics with no area family) enjoyed each other’s company around the long table. Julia Martin never married and held a

Born into slavery, the courageous and resilient Mary McDonald traveled with her husband to Montana Territory in 1863. Mary and Richard had four sons and three daughters. Tragically, all four of the McDonald’s sons died in childhood—one was buried along the trail during their journey west to Montana. The three McDonald daughters—Mollie, Belle, and Melissa—grew up in the family home that still stands at 308 South Tracy Avenue in Bozeman. Mary McDonald, affectionately known as “Grandma” to many, was well known in town for generously helping her neighbors. She was a dedicated and faithful member of the Methodist Church until her death at age 100 in 1941.

Land of Inventors Germany International Exhibit Comes to Bozeman

Justin Johnson and Peter Schweppe

O

n October 26, 1861, German inventor Johann Philipp Reis introduced a new word and concept to the world, the “telephone.” Combining “Tele” (at a distance) with “Phon” (unit of sound), Reis’s invention showed how voice could be transmitted through electronic wire. He conducted a live demonstration

tences have lived on in fame as the first sentences ever spoken on a telephone in public.

Occurring some 15 years before Alexander Graham Bell’s patent of the telephone in 1876, Johann Philipp Reis’s invention has become so commonplace throughout the world that it is easy to forget how it came into existence. However, this is

of his invention in front of a group of renowned scientists at the “Physical Society of Frankfurt,” where the now legendary sentences could be heard on the other end: “The horse does not eat cucumber salad,” and “The sun is made of copper.”

Selected for their absurd and specific nature—to ensure the listener heard each word correctly and could not guess what was being said—these sen-

not the case for Reis’s hometown of Friedrichsdorf, Germany, where citizens have turned his house into a museum and host an annual “day of the telephone” festival. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a world in which the telephone does not exist and festivals like that of Friedrichsdorf remind us how important it is celebrate inventions that have gone on to impact the world.

But the telephone is far from the only notable German invention to accomplish this. From cars to the MP3, German innovation in STEM has long changed the world and continues to solidify Germany’s place as a vibrant crossroads of commerce, ideas, and technologies to this day. As the German cultural organization, the Goethe Institut, notes: “Currently Germany ranks among the top three nations worldwide in numbers of new patents, and the number of people working in STEM-related fields in Germany continues to grow. Perspectives for an innovative future in an innovative country could hardly be better—not just for Germans, but also for young people from across the world interested in science, technology, engineering, and math as well as in Germany.”

In this spirit, the Goethe Institut is bringing an acclaimed exhibit that celebrates German inventors and inventions to Bozeman in March. Titled “Land of Inventors, Germany” (aka: “Erfinderland” in German), this exhibit has travelled all over the world from Jakarta to Stockholm to New York City, and more. “Land of Inventors, Germany” will be on display at Montana State University for the month of March.

“Land of Inventors” is an interactive exhibit that focuses on STEM-related innovations which

originated in Germany but have gone on to heavily influence the rest of the world. The hands-on, multimedia displays provide an engaging experience for students and adults alike. According to the Goethe Institute, “(t)he exhibition includes both historic achievements as well as contemporary innovations that will help shape our future. In addition, it also provides an overview of opportunities in research at German schools and universities.”

Dean Brett Gunnik from the Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering generously opened space in MSU’s brand new Norm Asbjornson Hall for the month-long exhibit, which will double as an opportunity to showcase the impressive designs and intentions of the structure. Accordingly, MSU’s German Studies program is excited to be organizing one of the first interdisciplinary projects in Norm Asbjornson Hall with such a famous global organization as the Goethe Institut.

HOW TO VISIT THE EXHIBIT: The public grand opening of the exhibit will take place on March 5, 2019, from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. following a day filled with fun educational shows and tours of the exhibit for Gallatin Valley area schools. Starting March 6, 2019, regular tour schedules will be maintained by knowledgeable, German-speaking student ambassadors to help bring the displays to life. Tours start every hour on the hour and are available: Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and 4 p.m.-7 p.m.; Friday 11 a.m.- 1 p.m.; Saturday March 9, and by appointment.

The exhibit is free and open to the public throughout the times listed regardless of whether you would like a guided tour or if you would like to follow the self-guided materials. Private tours of the exhibit can also be accommodated. Please contact Justin Johnson, the Lead Student Ambassador for the exhibit: justin.johnson19@student.montana.edu. School groups are encouraged to schedule a tour, as the exhibit includes several interactive contents. All tours start in Norm Asbjornson Hall Room 324 on the Montana State University campus.

MSU’s German Studies program is organizing several additional events that highlight the importance of German language, culture, and innovation.

On Tuesday, March 5 at 11 a.m., the Goethe Institut is sponsoring a live science show for high school students and middle school students in and around the Gallatin Valley area. On Saturday, March 9 at 10 a.m., Bozeman High School’s German program and MSU German are co-organizing an American Association of Teachers of German (AATG) teaching workshop for German teachers from around Montana. On Thursday, March 14 at 11 a.m., MSU German is hosting a public symposium on Intersections of STEM & the Humanities titled: “Histories of Science and Technology in Germany and beyond” with speakers coming in from across the continent. For more information on these events and others, please visit the department website at: msugerman.weebly.com.

In addition to learning about the technological history of contraptions like Johann Philipp Reis’s tele-phone, visitors of “Land of Inventors, Germany” will get to experience German language in action. After all, the first sentences uttered on a public telephone were spoken auf Deutsch: “Das Pferd frisst keinen Gurkensalat” (The horse does not eat cucumber salad) and “Die Sonne ist von Kupfer” (The sun is made of copper). But this exhibit notably tells the full story of how these sentences were heard in what must certainly be the first game of “broken telephone.” Due to an unsteady connection, Reis could in fact only make out: “The horse eats” and “The sun is made of sugar.” Thanks to his invention though, games of broken telephone prove why a good connection matters when it comes to communicating and why languages like German play a vital role in and beyond Germany, Austria, or Switzerland. Perhaps just as important, the “Land of Inventors, Germany” demonstrates the value of innovation and interdisciplinary collaborations between STEM & the Humanities. s Justin Johnson is a Senior in MSU’s Chemical Engineering program with minors in Biochemistry and German Studies.

EMMA WEEKS WILLSON

Talented musician Emma Weeks Willson came to Bozeman in 1869 with her husband, General Lester Willson. Her piano was likely the first such instrument in town, and it attracted almost the same degree of attention as Emma herself (a new female resident in a frontier town populated primarily with men). Growing up on the East Coast, Emma Willson studied music in Albany, New York, where she met her husband at a home for disabled Civil War veterans. In Bozeman, Emma serenaded passersby from the open window of the Willson’s first home on Main Street. According to her 1923 obituary in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, her music was “instrumental in stopping serious disturbances on the streets of the city.” A devoted member of the First Presbyterian Church, Mrs. Willson played and sang for church functions, including each new pastor’s installation. When the new Opera House was constructed in 1890, Mrs. Willson tested the acoustic quality, offering her much-respected opinion.

DR. CAROLINE MCGILL

One of Montana’s first female physicians, Dr. Caroline McGill received an impressive education from the University of Missouri, Johns Hopkins, the Mayo Clinic, the University of Chicago, and schools in Berlin. McGill came to Butte, Montana in about 1911 where she practiced medicine for most of her professional life, later retiring to the Bozeman area. McGill purchased the famous 320 Ranch in Gallatin Canyon in 1936 and resided there until her death in 1959. Dr. McGill, a muchadmired preserver of history, had an impressive collection of antiques that became the core of the McGill Museum (now known as the Museum of the Rockies) at Montana State University.

River. It was near this area where, 5 years earlier, Sacagawea was taken captive by the Hidatsas and traveled with them eastward into what is now the plains of Montana and North Dakota. Accompanying Lewis and Clark on their westward journey gave her the chance to visit her homeland again.

Her familiarity with the landscape, knowledge of edible plants, language skills, and relationship

These remarkable local women and their stories of tragedy, courage, perseverance, compassion and grit show that the female influence on Gallatin County and Bozeman history is broad and enduring. Many women have, in the words of Judge Lessley’s description of Ida Davis: “stood tall and strong in the minds and hearts of hundreds…” r Rachel Phillips is the Research Coordinator at the Gallatin History Museum in Bozeman.

SACAGAWEA

In April 1805, the Lewis and Clark Expedition headed west from the Mandan villages along the Missouri River in western North Dakota, bringing with them a fur trader named Toussaint Charbonneau, his wife Sacagawea, and their infant son Jean Baptiste. It was a wise decision to add Sacagawea to the party. Much of Sacagawea’s life is a mystery, but the Shoshoni woman was likely born in the 1780s in what is today Idaho. Her people traveled the region on horseback, spending time near the headwaters of the Missouri

o open a book is to enter a conversation. If it’s fiction, the reader becomes a character, reacting to the behaviors and thoughts of those whose world she has been introduced to. If it’s nonfiction, she enters a dialogue with the writer who presents his perception on some aspect of life.

But to open Bozeman from the Heart, edited by June Billings Safford and Paula Beswick, is to enter a conversation that resembles the content murmurs of friends meeting in coffee houses or encountering each other by surprise on a corner of Main Street Bozeman. As you walk through the pages, you can’t help but stop to talk with one or several of the 25 contributors in front of the downtown buildings Safford has painted and that appear throughout the book. Pause at the Ellen, and there’s John Ludin, elemental in saving the theatre, talking about its history and its importance.

As you stroll east down Main Street, there’s Plonk, its door open, and you can chat with Eric Funk about the role the arts (especially music) have played in shaping Bozeman’s outlook before you go in for a glass of wine. Cross to the south side of the street and wander the other direction, to the Country Bookshelf, where someone is just entering the door, and there’s Valerie Hemingway, eager to tell you about how the indie book store has been the literary heart of Bozeman since 1957. In short, in this book you don’t walk; you meander, and you have conversations. This slow pace, Safford hopes, will make readers want to talk about what identity Bozeman, the fastest growing city in Montana, can or will assume. “It’s a book about a town,” she explains. “The main character is Bozeman. It’s at a crossroads, and there’s an unease about where the town is going.”

Just as Bozeman from the Heart engenders conversation, Safford says

34

MARCH 2019

www.bozemanmagazine.com

it is conversation that engendered the book. A poet and a painter, Safford always imagined combining poems with images, preferably of the human form. But in 2009, after the gas explosion on Main Street that destroyed the I.O.O.F. building, Safford came upon a photo that she had taken of it because it was, as Safford explains, “just a beautiful brick building.” And, she said, if you look at downtown Bozeman, you notice that there are many beautiful brick buildings whose adorned upper stories and fascias are often unseen by citizens in a hurry. “I thought ahead to the possibility that other charming architecture could disappear and be replaced by something much less distinctive, and so I painted for the beauty,” building after building. As she painted over the years, she noticed that the face of Bozeman changed in other ways: businesses changed hands or disappeared. “No more Helle Hansen, no more Insty Print, soon-to-be no more Straightaway Motors in that same place, no more barber shop alongside the Western Café, just to name a few,” she said. She realized what she had been doing was archival—recording a town as it once was. With much of Main Street painted, Safford had a show of her work in the Atrium Gallery of Bozeman Public Library. Painter Susan Blackwood saw her work there, and a conversation ensued; Blackwood told her, “These are historic paintings; you should do a book.”

But how?

It took Safford a year-and-a-half to figure out the answer to that question. Looking at her work, she understood that her painting the buildings was not to merely record history, to archive Bozeman; rather, it was a way to articulate ideas of community. Believing that her art work alone could not accomplish this purpose, she sought out the help of writers. It meant entering conversations with lots of people, as Bozeman has lots of writers, many

of whom Safford didn’t know. Nevertheless, she forged ahead, telling them about her vision and asking if they would write pieces about what it means to live in Bozeman; these narratives would be accompanied by Safford’s paintings. To her delight, no one turned her down.

By mid 2017, with writers on board and the book moving forward, Safford pegged Paula Beswick, who was the director of the Bozeman Public Library Foundation, as co-editor. And then she asked Stephanie Newman to come on board as graphic designer.

As Newman designed the layout, Safford and Beswick tackled the task of finding the funds necessary to publish. Many of the businesses and foundations they approached were excited by the purpose of the book—to engender conversation about a town’s identity—and contributed.

By December of 2018, Bozeman from the Heart was printed and ready for distribution, just in time for Christmas. It has been warmly received. Safford says this is because so many people—both longtime residents and newcomers to the community—are interested in Bozeman’s future. Her hope is that the book will get citizens conversing with one another about what that future is. Sharing her concern, downtown businesses not only contributed to the book’s publication, but downtown venues have gladly offered their space to promote it. On January 30, more than a hundred people turned out at the Country Bookshelf to listen to and talk with Safford, Beswick and several contributors who told their stories. On February 11, the Ellen Theatre

opened its doors for free to a night of what was titled “A Valentine for this Town,” consisting of a joyful mix of music and readings. On February 22, the Old Main Gallery exhibited Safford’s paintings— an exuberant one-night show.

Most important to Safford, however, is the evening of March 7. The Baxter Hotel has loaned its ballroom, where she hopes a large audience from the community—one made of established residents and newcomers, of the young and old—will gather at 7 p.m. to share stories about how their lives entwine with the life of this town. She hopes readers will tell how particular narratives in Bozeman from the Heart fired a nerve of memory and took them back in time and to a place. But, mostly, she hopes the stories will encourage citizens to think about the town’s future: What is essential? What is worth saving? How can we do this? Simply, she wants to start a conversation, one that is larger than one reader entering one book. For Safford, Bozeman from the Heart is a means to transcend the daily busyness of communication we default to in a quickly changing community. Rather, it encourages us to slow our pace, look up from our daily routines, and have some fun talking with one another. g Glen Chamberlain has won a Pushcart Prize, the Gilcrease Prize for fiction, and the Rona Jaffe Award for both fiction and creative nonfiction.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PRE-QUAL

Bozeman Real Estate Tim Ford – Real Estate Broker

I

t’s been a great winter in Bozeman, lots of snow to play in and some great days on the mountain. The Real Estate market has remained steady, but many buyers have been thwarted by the lack of inventory. With spring around the corner, we’ll likely start to see home sellers come out of their hibernation as well.

One of the first steps in searching for a new home should be to meet with a lender to determine whether a buyer qualifies for financing. Meeting with a lender may not seem like the fun part of the process, but it is vitally important to tackle this obstacle early in the search.

I’ve stressed this over the years, and I’m often told by would-be buyers that they’ll have no issues qualifying for financing, and this is generally the case. However, the purpose of the pre-qual goes beyond assuring the buyer and their agent that the buyers can get financing.

The strongest reason for getting prequalified is to be in a solid position when making an offer. In the Bozeman market, many new listings are generating multiple offers, often within a matter of days. If a buyer does find that right home, they may not have enough time to start the pre-qualification process from scratch if they want to get an offer in the mix.

I’m not sure why it is, but it seems like I’ve written up a lot of offers with buyers on Friday afternoons. Perhaps it’s because many buyers get off early on Friday. In any event, if a buyer finds that perfect home and they’re putting together an offer on a Friday at 5:00,

36

MARCH 2019

if they haven’t met with a lender yet, it’s unlikely they’re going to be able to get anything done until Monday at the earliest. In today’s fast-moving market, that may not be soon enough.

The pre-qualification process can be even more important for high net-worth individuals. Many high net-worth individuals have complicated tax returns and various sources of income. A lender may need some time to find the best route to get them approved.

Another important reason to meet with a lender early in the process is to ensure that the buyer’s credit score is accurate. It is not unusual for a consumer’s credit report to contain inaccuracies that may lead to a lower credit score. The earlier in the process that this is discovered, the more quickly it can be resolved.

I have included recent sales data for the first month of 2019, including the median & average sold prices for the last 6 months. In addition to the 38 homes sold in January, another 119 homes are currently under contract or pending as of the date of writing.

The included data reflects sales of homes in the greater Bozeman area, including Four Corners, Gallatin Gateway, Bridger Canyon, and Bozeman city limits.
