BEEF

ast month I paid almost a thousand dollars, flew across the country, and drove four hours to sleep in a tent and tell strangers the truth. For five days, we woke with the sun beneath the pale blue Sonoran desert sky and gathered at the picnic tables of our group campsite to share our dreams from the night before. During the day, we wandered the parched ground of Joshua Tree National Park with big questions - questions of meaning and longing and beauty that our culture files under the categories of unimportant, naive, and frivolous. When we passed each other, we met eyes and smiled. When someone was crying, we listened and cared. When someone laughed, we all did too.

In five days, I discovered something I’ve been seeking my whole life; a way of belonging and being human that thousands of generations enjoyed and that modern systems of industry and thought have nearly destroyed. On the last day of the intensive, I sat atop a hill a few hundred yards from camp and wept as the sun rose over dolloped boulders and armor-wrapped cacti.

Hummingbirds and woodpeckers were waking up and coyote howls from the

starry night were still bouncing through my body. I had finally experienced true belonging and now it was time to go back to the game where we ignore each other and stare with empty hearts into the glowing agendas of our digital masters.

This column is called “What’s Your Beef?” and for this month and the rest of my life, my beef is the lie we call western culture that indoctrinates us to believe belonging is earned. In five days of attending to dreams, imbibing the natural world, and telling others about my actual experience, I discovered what I long imagined I would only unearth with degrees, sacrifices, and financial foresight. Turns out, all it really takes to be happy is a temporary willingness to stop believing in the necessity of progress.

We bicker and enact violence in the name of all these things we think we belong to. American, Montanan, Republican, Democrat; we think that’s what we’re seeing when we look in the mirror and we waste all of our metaphorical oxygen puffing up pin-holed identity balloons that take us ever further from the only belonging we’ll actually have.

How much dignity, honesty, and vital-

ity have we sacrificed in the name of barren ideals? Look around as you walk down the street and really take in the empty stares and anonymity of this society. Note the near-total avoidance of anything resembling meaning that passes for comfortable conversation.

Doesn’t something in your heart break?

I’ve got beef with the fact that only the privileged, like me, can afford to meet heartbroken others also longing to invest their resources into connection. I’ve got beef with the sorry excuses for leaders, entertainment, and education that we accept as normal and I’ve got beef with a system that robs us of our imaginations in favor of a standardized, numbed, and hyper-violent mythology. We shouldn’t have to fly across the country to sit with people and speak openly, listen compassionately, and marvel at the fact that we’re flying through star-freckled infinity. That’s some beefy bullshit. d Kristopher Drummond is a writer and photographer passionate about serving regenerative possibilities and stories for the earth community.

M

icah Rauch is a multi-talented illustrator and graphic designer originally from Wolf Point, Montana. He has been living in beautiful Bozeman, Montana with his wife and two kids since 2012. While much of his work isn’t publicly visible, his most prominent projects can be seen throughout the greater Gallatin Valley.

He is the artist behind the Streamline Bus redesign, multiple projects for Museum of the Rockies, and many other projects found throughout the community.

Micah’s unique perspective into the visual needs and interests of Montanans makes him not only a versatile asset to his clients, but a stunningly innovative artist in his own right.

Focused on freehand and digital illustration, Micah’s style and dedication to his craft has led to numerous accolades from his clients and creative partners at 45 Degrees North, an award-winning design firm based in Bozeman.

He’s currently working on multiple illustration projects ranging from graphic design to children’s books to an assortment of personal projects. His personal art often falls into the realms of Sci-Fi and Fantasy and can be described as having a whimsical lighthearted nature. A graduate of Montana State University, he’s one of the few Montanans working in his creative field and his passion shines through in every project he takes on.

For Micah, the art of drawing and painting has always been a very magical process. There is just something wondrous about the ability to transform a blank space with lines and shapes into something that has never been seen before or to stir a person’s emotions just from how a pencil has danced across a page. It has captivated him from a very early age, and one of his earliest memories of drawing is laying on the kitchen floor with a large roll of butcher paper and a mess of crayons and markers strewn about. Today he may not use a roll of butcher paper, but he can often be found with a sketchbook at hand and ready draw.

His painting included in this month’s edition of Bozeman Magazine was created for The Compassion Project. A project dedicated to bringing the Gallatin County closer together through the education of compassion and what it means and why it is important. Artists throughout the community had a chance to enter a piece of their own work based around the idea as well as a write up of what compassion means to them. The end product would be an exhibit of all of these works promoting compassion for each other in the community.

F

amily drew Raj and Priyanka Singh to Montana from Alabama. They brought with them a plan to make delicious Indian food and opened Curry Express in October 2013 at 212 West Main in Belgrade. The first couple of years were hard because locals were hesitant to try Indian food, and the misconception that Indian food is spicy kept customers away. But Indian food isn’t always spicy, the chefs control the spice and the heat. Once the Singh’s began to introduce their delicious food, people got excited to try new flavors, and the restaurant took off. Their second Montana restaurant, Pakeezah, opened at 34 N. Bozeman Avenue in downtown Bozeman in July 2018 and has found a loving audience of happy diners.

Angie Ripple: How was Pakeezah conceptualized?

Raj Singh: We wanted to do something different than quick service.

Originally our concept was to put fine dining restaurants in the Bozeman area. People enjoy the service, but then the fear of failing was there also. From what I’d heard of restaurants closing in six months, or nine months, or a year in Bozeman, they could just shut down. So when we brought the restaurant to Bozeman, we didn’t want to put a quick service, we wanted to put a sit down restaurant, a typical Indian sit down restaurant, a fine dining restaurant, and that’s what we did.

AR: What makes Pakeezah unique in Bozeman? What do you offer that other restaurants don’t?

RS: We are the first full-service Indian restaurant in Bozeman. The thing that makes it unique, and that other places don’t offer, is actual Indian food. So, we have authentic Indian food, healthy, gluten-free options are there, and it’s vegan friendly.

The biggest thing is that we have a huge variety of vegetarian dishes that nobody else carries, that’s a big thing. Our $12 all-you-can-eat lunch buffet is also unique for downtown Bozeman.

AR: Is Pakeezah buffet for lunch and sit down for dinner?

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

RS: Yes, 11:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. it’s buffet. Every day it’s different; it’s not a staple one format. Certain things like the rice and the naan are staples, but besides that all the meat and all the veggies, everything flips.

We have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options, so we keep everybody in mind and that’s how we do the set up for the buffet. We reopen at 5 p.m. for Ala Cart Service until 9 p.m.

RS: The aromas, that’s the first thing everyone gets to experience: the smell of the food and the incense, the Indian music. I want people to experience India when they come here. Culture is what I want to introduce because that’s what Indian restaurants should do. India is a very exotic place I would say. You’re looking at about 7,000; 8,000; 9,000 years of civilization, from culture,

traditions, to food, to gawdy colors.

I want customers to experience the music, the service, the food, the flavors, and they shouldn’t be hesitant to try anything. They should just come to experience it all.

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

RS: The love that we have been getting is just amazing. Bozeman and Belgrade were there to support us from the beginning. It was at first hard, but our customers have helped us grow. Customers were very positive in critiquing us [at Curry Express in Belgrade] and so we’ve made changes, and even today we are still changing things and listening to customers.

A lot of times what happens is people will go to a restaurant, they don’t like anything, so they stop coming. But here, the Bozeman and Belgrade communities, everyone around Curry Express and Pakeezah, they didn’t like something they didn’t stop coming they advised

FOOD & DRINKS Pakeezah p12 us. How about you do something different, change a little bit of this maybe? The love we got like that is just amazing to help us grow, and here we are in Bozeman.

AR: What is your most popular dish?

RS: That is very hard to say. The lamb chops are everybody’s favorite; goat meat is everybody’s favorite.

We have lamb shanks, and oh my gosh, they are delicious, melt in your mouth kind of thing, the way we cook them. It’s very hard to say, and that’s what I love. Everything on our menu moves, everything sells. I wasn’t sure if goat would sell, but people love goat; goat and lamb are selling neck to neck here. When people are trying Indian food for the first time, they go goo goo gaga over Butter Chicken; it is very popular. Chicken Tikka Masala, vegetarian dishes, the Tandoori items, our appetizers, we have some gangster appetizers! It is very hard for me to answer what is most popular!

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

RS: We are about to drop Indian cocktails, fifteen different Indian

cocktails. I am trying to get Indian beer and wine to come in also. I have only been able to get one Indian Rum so far, but that’s in and pretty soon we’ll be dropping fancy cocktails. Old Monk is one of the best dark Rums I’ve had.

We are working on Helena, Missoula, West Yellowstone, and Great Falls; we have that in mind, too. So four different locations, we are looking to spread out.

These are the two new things we are working on, and I’m excited for the cocktails. These are going to be some cocktails that nobody has tasted.

There is something we’re introducing called the Chaitini, it’s a Chaiflavored Martini.

Curry Express and Pakeezah’s flavors are what carry them, and every bite will take you to a new place of flavor you may have never been. Pakeezah means Pure, and the Singh’s have pure intentions to bring culture and delicious food to a local Montana audience. r Angie Ripple is often hungry, and tried many new flavors at the Pakeezah lunch buffet. Angie co-publishes Bozeman Magazine with her husband Brian, while wrangling their three children under the Big Sky.

SUN SIGN HOROSCOPE APRIL 2019 Aries: Mars moves into Gemini and you feel the shift with a rush of new ideas. Unfortunately, life is still moving at a slow pace and you cannot push it forward. You have a great opportunity to focus on the inner you and reconnect. It is just what you need.

Libra: It is okay, go ahead and live in your head this month. Your imagination is going to give you far more entertainment that you will find elsewhere, so you might as well enjoy it. You can see where your social sector is slow to manifest. Be patient.

Taurus: This are still in a state of quantum shift, and you are trying to force a decision or direction before its time is only going to frustrate you more, so don’t. Grumpiness, especially with people make demands on your time, is going to happen.

Scorpio: A good night’s sleep may be beyond your capacity this month. Your consciousness is in overdrive, not allowing you time to shut down and rest. Rather, you may have to give more than expected. Doing so assures future success.

Gemini: April will be a refreshing change to the intangible nature of what seemed to be everything to do with you. Now you can make headway with plans and actually capitalize on some of the many opportunities that come your way.

Sagittarius: This month will have you feeling like life is at a standstill, where you are unable to move any of your plans forward. Instead of trying to push forward when there is no way to do so, take time to review and make plans for success.

Cancer: Yes, dear Crab, there will be a bit of a break for you in April.

Compared to March you are going to have a little time to process the issues returning for resolution.

Taking the time to actually follow through on resolutions keeps them from returning.

Capricorn: The hurry up and waitwait-wait will continue through April. Your normal way of dealing with it would be to just hunker down and push through, but that may not be the best for you.

Waiting will reveal a much better answer to the problem.

Leo: Your desire to run free and your need to get things done are going to come in direct conflict with each other, leaving you feeling like you are spinning your wheels.

Sometimes it is best to just sit amid the fray and go within to find your own answers.

Aquarius: It is all about settling in to the new you and your new perspective. You may be feeling like you are upside down. Your normal ability to just pull through will be stalled. Focus on what you can control this month, you won’t have a lot to hold on to.

Virgo: You are filled with ideas and lots of motivation to take action, but circumstances keep holding you back. When you feel yourself grating your teeth about the snail’s pace, do not fret. Take the time as an opportunity to purify your ideas and plans.

Pisces: The stars set up a personal impasse that keeps you from making your normal forward progression. This is different from indecision. An offer for a joint venture appears. Your dream can be accomplished with effort and dedication.

n the fall of 2006 a group of 9 cellists got on stage at Portland’s Doug Fir Lounge to perform western classical music in an informal setting. Many of the cellists that night thought it would only happen once. But slowly that one-off event became a second, and a third, cellists joined and left and rejoined the group again, to perform in Portland's most popular clubs. By 2009 the group had evolved into a nationally-recognized performing, recording and educational group with a revolving cast of cellists. Cello Project (or PCP as their fans affectionately call them) were quickly appearing anywhere and everywhere in North America, from punk rock clubs to symphony halls, from street parties to exclusive private events. By 2010 self-described horde of cellos were spending more than a quarter of the year touring, featuring a diverse repertoire that quickly ballooned to over 1,000 pieces of music.

Under the artistic direction of Douglas Jenkins, the group grew and evolved, working with an all-star group of cellists in the Pacific Northwest (Skip vonKuske, Diane Chaplin, Nancy Ives, Gideon Freudmann, Kevin Jackson, to name just a few...). The group developed a three-part philosophy that has mostly remained unchanged over the years: First, to bring the cello places you wouldn't normally see it (from wild dance parties, to formal symphony halls, to street parties, to Millennium Park in Chicago...).

Second, to perform music on the cello you wouldn't normally associate with the instrument alongside music from the Western Classical Tradition (from Pantera to Taylor Swift to Kanye West to Elliott Smith, alongside Bach, Rossini, and Saint-Saens, to name just a few...).

Third, to build bridges between different musical communities through educational, community outreach, and through collaboration with myriad artists, from The Dandy Warhols to Garrison Keillor to Ural Thomas to Corin

RECORD STORE DAY Cactus Joe

O

n April 13th, Cactus Records will be one of the hundreds of stores around the world helping bring music lovers and their local, independent stores together for the annual Record Store Day celebration. Now in its 11th year, Record Store Day has been described by its creators as “a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1400 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally.” Traditionally, an artist has been declared “Record Store Ambassador”, a post previously held by St. Vincent, Ozzy Osbourne, Iggy Pop, Dave Grohl, Metallica and this year by Pearl Jam. Cactus Records has participated in the event since its first year, April 19th, 2008, featuring live music every hour, giveaways, special sales, and other ways to express their appreciation of their customers.

This year, Cactus Records expects their best turnout yet, and also intend to provide the best Record Store Day experience yet. Those of us at Cactus humbly submit that if you’re not there, well, we hate to say it, but you might be square.

In addition to all the fun, Record Store Day also sees the release of hundreds of limited-release pressings of classic albums, rarities, never-before-released material, and more. The list of upcoming releases is available online and in-store at Cactus Records, and those interested in specific titles are encouraged to call or stop in to request titles.

Record Store Day at Cactus Records starts the moment the doors open at 9 AM on April 13th, and wraps up when the doors close. In between, attendants can expect to experience lots of live music, cold snacks from the fine folks at Montucky, killer sales, an opportunity for music hunters to listen to and show off their trophies at the Burn Box at the Rialto starting at 8 pm, and as always, the ever-renewing love Cactus Records has for its oh-so-special and unique customers.

For more information about Record Store Day, please go to https://recordstoreday.com, and be sure to check the Cactus Records events page for more info on the live music featured at the event. The staff of Cactus Records and the music-loving community of Bozeman hope to see you there. c

M O N TA N A M U S I C Eugene Onegin:

AN ODE TO LOVE AND GRANDEUR IN IMPERIAL RUSSIA

Else Trygstad-Burke

T

his April, Intermountain Opera Bozeman will bring to the stage an epic story of romance, jealousy, and aristocratic life set to one of the most beautiful musical scores ever written. Eugene Onegin is an opera with something for everyone: stunning sets and costumes, beautiful music, themes of love and nostalgia, and a plot that captivates audiences until the curtain falls at the end.

Inspired by a lengthy “verse novel” written by 19th-century Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, Eugene Onegin illustrates the emotional drama and royal splendor experienced by its characters.

This production is a perfect example of “the opera being better than the book.” Pushkin’s passionate characters and their luscious surroundings come to life in this visually spectacular opera, written by one of history’s most luxurious composers, Pyotr Tchaikovsky (composer of The Nutcracker and Swan Lake).

The opera delivers an immediate emotional impact on the viewer. The orchestra’s opening lines, a series of sighing notes in the strings, fore18

APRIL 2019

shadow the pangs of love and loss that torment the characters throughout the story. Tchaikovsky’s music maintains an elegant and aristocratic quality for the entire opera, while including all of the intensity and romance of his ballet music. This is music that appeals to all who hear it; the abundance of melodies and thick orchestral textures are reminiscent of Puccini’s operas, but without the sharp divides between famous arias and “transition” music. Every minute of the music in Eugene Onegin transports the audience to a world of lavish palaces and pastoral landscapes.

Most 19th-century operas contain large amounts of social drama. Eugene Onegin is unique in that it explores its characters’ emotions and conflicts in a much more intimate way. Much of the libretto (an opera’s “script”) has a poetic quality, due to Tchaikovsky’s commitment to using so much of Pushkin’s original poetry. For an opera composer to develop their own libretto was rare for the period. The fact that Tchaikovsky did construct the majority of the libretto for Eugene Onegin certainly contributes to the poignant and moving

quality of the music. The story is easier to follow than in many operas, as many of the character’s arias (long solo songs) contain narration about their past or present experiences. The full impact of the libretto’s poetry can be enjoyed by audiences in Intermountain Opera’s production, since English supertitles will be projected above the stage throughout the entire performance.

Eugene Onegin connects very closely with modern audiences, due to the timelessness of its plot. The protagonist, Eugene Onegin himself, is a character who is perhaps familiar to many audience members: an arrogant and bored individual to whom love and relationships are a game. One of Eugene’s first lines in the opera is a complaint about how dull it was to sit by the bedside of a dying relative. His ability to seduce young and naive women through manipulation becomes the centerpiece of the plot, making him into a character that audiences “love to hate.” This establishes him as the direct opposite of Tatyana, the heroine, whose earnestness and innocence establish her as an audience favorite.

Many different interpretations of the opera exist. Some productions take a more empathetic approach to Eugene’s character, implying that he matures over time and is genuinely remorseful about his behavior throughout the story. Others focus more on Tatyana’s growth as a woman and imply that Eugene’s eventual interest in her results from a change in her social status. No matter what the interpretation is, this story is all the more interesting when viewed by modern audiences. If the opera were a contemporary movie, it would be the ultimate “makeover” story, in which the arrogant antihero regrets rejecting someone once they become stylish and popular. The movie Grease comes to mind at once - John Travolta’s character could easily be a more likeable version of Eugene.

Audiences are often conflicted as to whether they should feel any sympathy for Eugene (this author firmly does not). A viewing of Eugene Onegin is guaranteed to produce great post-show conversation and debate!

Eugene Onegin is immensely difficult to produce for many reasons, not the least of which is the requirement for the lead singers and chorus to sing in Russian. The opportunity to see this opera is rare, and it has never before been performed in Montana. Intermountain Opera Bozeman hires

renowned guest artists from the best opera companies in the United States. These artists will perform alongside a live orchestra composed of the region’s top musicians, conducted by Adam Turner of Virginia Opera, and a chorus of outstanding local singers. Pyotr Tchaikovsky, as should be expected, manages to slip some ballet music into the opera.

The famous “Polonaise” music at the beginning of Act III is a passionate and energetic example of dance music played in the grand ballrooms of 19thcentury palaces and estates. Intermountain Opera is collaborating with Bozeman’s new contemporary dance company, Raison D’être Dance Project, for the opera’s ballet scenes.

Opera is one of the most effective art forms for conveying the complexity of love, relationships, and society. Eugene Onegin takes this a step further by making the settings a central part of the story. Art and music from the 19th century often drew inspiration from the sweeping landscapes that surrounded the artists, and this was very much the case in Russia. Perhaps the most moving part of the opera is the Peasants’ Chorus, which begins with the solemnity of a religious Mass and expresses the weariness of the workers on the estate:

“My swift little feet ache from walking.

My ardent heart aches from caring.

I don’t know what to do, how to forget my sweetheart.”

These poignant words and beautiful harmonies, sung by the full chorus, are Tchaikovsky’s tribute to his homeland and its people. As the story navigates the loves and losses of its characters, this remains at its core.

COMPANY 1970s Musical at The Ellen

Kevin Brustuen

T

he Golden Age of Broadway musicals began with the well-known musical Oklahoma! in 1943 and flourished with hits such as South Pacific, Camelot, My Fair Lady, and Singing in the Rain. The 1960s and 1970s were a revolutionary time in art, culture, and society convincingly illustrated with the opening of the musical Hair in 1968: rock-opera, musicals and book-musicals such as Tommy, Hair,and Jesus Christ Superstar threw open the door to new styles of music performance. These productions were inspired by the Vietnam war, experimentation with drugs, political assassinations, rebelling against authority, sexism and racism, and other prejudices. Using the form of rock operas and book musicals, artists were taking fresh looks at society, making statements and observations still relevant today. Against this backdrop, Company, a Stephan Sondheim book musical, was created and performed on Broadway in 1970, winning 6 Tony Awards. Montana TheatreWorks is bringing Company to the Bozeman stage at The Ellen Theatre April 12 - 21.

Company is set in New York City in the 1970s, a time of hippies, love beads, peasant dresses, free love, and flower children— a time when people expressed who they were through the clothes they wore, the styles they chose, the songs they sang, as well as the protests and sit-ins in which they participated. Company takes a fun look at modern adult relationships, as it follows five married, previously married, or soon-to-be married couples and their mutual friend, Robert, a 35-year-old bachelor who has been unable to connect in a long-term relationship because he has observed less than ideal aspects of commitment in others. The show has hilarious dialogue, wonderfully funny scenes, and engaging songs, performed in a series of episodes, as Robert’s friends attempt to convince him that

marriage is a good thing.

Book musicals such as Company are musical plays where songs and dances are fully integrated into a story with serious dramatic goals which can evoke genuine emotions besides just laughter. The three main components are music, lyrics and book.

The book or script of a musical refers to the story, character development and dramatic structure, including the spoken dialogue and stage directions.

Company is unusual in that it’s not based on a plot as much as it is a series of vignettes, organized around Bobby’s birthday. You may be familiar with some of Sondheim’s songs from Company, especially “You Could Drive a Person Crazy,” “Another Hundred People,” and “Side by Side.”

Montana TheatreWorks, the acting group bringing Company to the Ellen Theatre, was founded in 1995 by Mary Jo and John Ludin with

a mission to bring high-quality community theater to live stages. John and Mary Jo moved their family to Bozeman in 1992, finding it a better place to raise a family than the Los Angeles area where he worked for Universal Studios. Shortly after arriving, he was asked to produce a performance of You Can’t Take It With You, followed by Arsenic and Old Lace for a community theater called Bozeman Stage Company. In 1995, Ludin decided to produce a musical, Damn Yankees, which was very well received with over 3,000 people attending, testifying to the desire for musicals in the Bozeman area.

Damn Yankees is considered the first Montana TheatreWorks performance. The success of these shows led to the acquisition of The Ellen Theatre

by Montana TheatreWorks. The restored Ellen opened to the public once again on December 4, 2008, with Christmas Carol. Since 2008, Montana TheatreWorks continues to produce several plays and musicals each year, with popular hits including Guys and Dolls, Oklahoma, Annie, Boeing Boeing,

Fiddler on the Roof, A Christmas Carol, and White Christmas.

Audience members seldom think about the behind-the-scenes work that goes into mounting a stage production. There is far more going on behind the scenes than what the audience sees on stage: set design, costume design, choreography, and lighting and sound design are some of the pieces that are worked on even before rehearsals begin. Starting months before opening night of Company, director Joel Jahnke met with his design staff and explained his vision for the performance.

Costume designer Claudia Boddy, Set Designer Tom Watson, Music Director Stefan Stern, and Choreographer Shari Watson had frequent discussions with Jahnke and each other to discuss their respective contributions and determine what needed to be accomplished to further the story that Jahnke envisions.

As Boddy listens to Jahnke describe his vision for the characters of Company, she imagines what they are like; it’s not too difficult as she lived through that period of time and had many friends who fit the images of Jahnke’s description. Freespirit “Marta” wore embroidered pants and shirts, leather vests and jackets, and possibly headbands.

“Larry”, well-off, slightly older, fun-loving, might be wearing a purple velvet jacket. “Bobby,” the bachelor, the single guy who is the “Everyman,” has to look flashy-70s, but still sexy and lovable.

Bell bottom pants and turtle neck sweaters and suede jackets come to mind. “I had a lot of friends in those days who wore clothes like these and did have the characteristics specific to Joel’s vision,” Boddy says. Once Jahnke and Boddy agreed on her costume designs, she started hunting for specific clothes that would meet these needs, in some cases ordering online from Etsy, in other cases adapting existing clothing pieces with needle and thread to meet the costume needs.

Boddy, a professional costume designer who worked in Chicago for many years before coming to Bozeman and working at Shakespeare in the Parks, talks about her work in putting together the appropriate costume design to help the audience see more clearly the concept that the play’s director is trying to convey. “When designing for Company in the Ellen stage, one has to be conscious of the large space and the set design; tiny patterns may wash out, but with more movement the patterns can still be ‘read’ by the audience, more so than with a solid color,” Boddy says. Clearly the 1970s are known for colorful and flamboyant designs in clothing and decorating; yet, if a character is wearing certain patterned clothes and sits on a couch with similar design or colors, the character could “disappear” into the furniture in the eyes of the audience.

With the extra movement that comes to the costumes through the dancing, colors and patterns can be more or less than what is desired or needed to make clothing patterns “pop” and become a seamless part of the scenes, so Boddy consults with the play’s choreographer, Shari Watson, to ensure that her costume designs work well with Watson’s choreographed dance steps to further communicate Jahnke’s concept for the play to the audience.

Telling the story through movement is always important, but especially so in musicals. As Boddy does with costumes, so Watson does with movement and dance. She listens to the music repeatedly until she knows it inside and out, keeping in mind the time period and the style, while at the same time remaining aware of the characters.

As she listens to the music and starts feeling the rhythm, she remains conscious of Jahnke’s vision for the story, starting to play the songs in her head as sung by the characters and the actors who will play those characters. The dance tells the story along with the lyrics, costumes, and the set itself.

The actors then inhabit a world that is created for them by the designers, breathing life into the inanimate sets, props, costumes, and dance steps, creating the laughter, loves, and memories that become the show you see on stage and are eager to rush home and tell others about.

The original production of Company opened at the Alvin Theatre in New York in April of 1970, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and the book by George Furth. Company will be performed at The Ellen Theatre by Montana TheatreWorks over two weekends. Opening performance is Friday April 12, continuing Saturday April 13, with a matinee on Sunday April 14. The last weekend performances are Friday April 19, Saturday April 20, with a Sunday matinee on April 21.

Walking On Egg Shells With Eddie Ifft Angie Ripple

E

ddie Ifft is an insanely busy comic coming back to Bozeman after an eighteen-year hiatus. We were pretty surprised to see an ad on Facebook for Eddie’s upcoming Bozeman show, since in the early 2000s I brought him to Montana State University for two comedy shows, a night on the town with the ASMSU Campus Entertainment office, and a video-game-playing after party at our house. I spoke to Eddie via phone from Australia where he was in the midst of a 29day comedy run with a bunch of surfing mixed in. Eddie loved Bozeman so much on his last visits, he’s coming back for a one-night stand at the Rialto on Friday, April 12, 2019.

AR: How’d you guess?

AR: So what’s funny these days?

AR: So where would people know or recognize you from? TV shows?

EI: What’s funny that you’re allowed to talk about? I don’t think anything.

But, I think the pendulum is swinging back. I call my show Walking on Eggshells, but the truth is I’m just smashing them because I think it’s all just a bunch of hypocrisy. Outrage culture is just about boredom. Everybody likes to be better than everybody. “I’m better than you because I do this, or I don’t do this.” But, then you find out everybody has something wrong with them. I just look at like if your offended, that just made ten other people laugh really hard.

So what’s Bozeman like now? Is it still a hippy town? Or have all the rich people moved in and gentrified it all?

EI: Because that always happens to cool places, and they ruin it.

AR: It’s pretty much what’s happening.

EI: And, then they go from being hippies to hypocrites. So, they’ll tell you you have to recycle, but they’ll drive their Range Rover to the recycling center.

AR: And, they’ll leave it running while they recycle.

EI: That’s exactly what it is; they are just giant hypocrites.

EI: I’m on a show right now called This Week at the Comedy Cellar on Comedy Central. I was on a sitcom called Legit on FX. And I did everything from Last Comic Standing to I had my own show on Comedy Central.

I did the Tommy Chong 420 Show on Showtime, but I’ve been on the

Joe Rogan podcast three times, and people love that.

Eddie’s Wodcast Podcast is what spurred this trip to Montana. “The #1 most fun and elite podcast on the internet about CrossFit.” A Bozeman CrossFitter was talking to one of the podcast’s sponsors, and they worked it out to bring Eddie to town. I promise he won’t just talk about CrossFit though, he’s cultured like that.

Local comics Jeffrey Strock, Danielle Rovira, Garrison Choitz, and Zachary Martinez will open the 18 and over show, A Night of Comedy with Eddie Ifft, at the Rialto Friday, April 12, 2019: doors at 8, show at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door, or in advance at http://rialtobozeman.ticketfly.com/ Get ready to be entertained!

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

OPENING DAY APRIL 19, 2019 DRAGONS MOUTH SPRING / SULPHER CALDRON

Hayden Valley is a large, sub-alpine valley in Yellowstone National Park straddling the Yellowstone River between Yellowstone Falls and Yellowstone Lake. The valley floor along the river is an ancient lake bed from a time when Yellowstone Lake was much larger. The valley is well known as one of the best locations to view wildlife in Yellowstone.

The geothermal features that are scattered around the valley are not immediately as impressive as those of the large geyser basins, but in many case they were the first to be discovered and described by the early explorers. They include Mud Volcano, Mud Geyser, Sulphur Caldron, and Black Dragon Caldron at the southern end of the valley and Sulphur Spring in the Crater Hills group further north and west of the river.

Y

ellowstone National Park will open it’s roads for the 2019 Summer season on Friday April,19. Here is a list of places Bozeman Magazine staff would recommend checking out this summer as you explore the park.

Many locals prefer the early and late seasons due to the less crowded roadways and viewing areas. If you have not been to Yellowstone for a while, do yourself a favor and get down to see what you are missing out on. We promise you won’t regret it.

ARTISTS PAINTPOTS

A favorite stop is North of Norris, Roaring Mountain is a large, acidic hydrothermal area with many fumaroles. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the number, size, and power of the fumaroles were much greater than today. The fumaroles are most easily seen in the cooler, low-light conditions of morning and evening. Artists’ Paintpots is a small hydrothermal area south of Norris Junction that includes colorful hot springs and two large mudpots.

FIREHOLE CANYON ROAD & FALLS

Firehole Falls is a waterfall on the Firehole River in southwestern Yellowstone National Park in the United States. The falls are located approximately 0.5 miles upstream from the confluence of the Firehole and Gibbon Rivers at Madison Junction.

Firehole Falls has a drop of approximately 40 feet.

The falls are located within Firehole Canyon on Firehole Canyon Drive, a one-way road that parallels the main Madison Junction to Old Faithful road.

GIBBON FALLS

Gibbon Falls is a waterfall on the Gibbon River in northwestern Yellowstone National Park. Gibbon Falls has a drop of approximately 84 feet. The falls are located roadside, 4.7 miles upstream from the confluence of the Gibbon and Firehole Rivers at Madison Junction on the Grand Loop Road.

GRAND PRISMATIC SPRING

The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world, after Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand and Boiling Lake in Dominica.

It is located in the Midway Geyser Basin.

Grand Prismatic Spring was noted by geologists working in the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871, and named by them for its striking coloration. Its colors match the rainbow dispersion of white light by an optical prism: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue.

MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS

Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine in Yellowstone National Park adjacent to Fort Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District.[3] It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate (over two tons flow into Mammoth each day in a solution). Because of the huge amount of

geothermal vents, travertine flourishes. Although these springs lie outside the caldera boundary, their energy has been attributed to the same magmatic system that fuels other Yellowstone geothermal areas.

NORRIS GEYSER BASIN

The Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest geyser basin in the park and is located near the northwest edge of Yellowstone Caldera near Norris Junction and on the intersection of three major faults. The Norris-Mammoth Corridor is a fault that runs from Norris north through Mammoth to the Gardiner area. The Hebgen Lake fault runs from northwest of West Yellowstone, Montana, to Norris. This fault experienced an earthquake in 1959 that measured 7.4 on the Richter scale, creating Earthquake Lake.

Norris Geyser Basin is so hot and dynamic because these two faults intersect with the ring fracture zone that resulted from the creation of the Yellowstone Caldera of 640,000 years ago.

TOWER FALLS

Tower Fall is a waterfall on Tower Creek in the northeastern region of Yellowstone National Park.

Located approximately .25 miles upstream from the creek’s confluence with the Yellowstone River, the fall plunges 132 feet. Its name comes from the rock pinnacles at the top of the falls. Tower Creek and Tower Falls are located approximately three miles south of Roosevelt Junction on the TowerCanyon road.

UPPER & LOWER YELLOWSTONE FALLS

Yellowstone Falls consist of two major waterfalls on the Yellowstone River, within Yellowstone National Park. As the Yellowstone river flows north from Yellowstone Lake, it leaves the Hayden Valley and plunges first over Upper Yellowstone Falls and then a quarter mile downstream over Lower Yellowstone Falls, at which point it then enters the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, which is up to 1,000 feet deep.

YELLOWSTONE LAKE

Yellowstone Lake is the largest body of water in Yellowstone National Park. The lake is 7,732 feet above sea level and covers 136 square miles with 110 miles of shoreline. While the average depth of the lake is 139 ft, its greatest depth is at least 394 ft. Yellowstone Lake is the largest freshwater lake above 7,000 ft in North America. In winter, ice nearly 3 ft thick covers much of the lake except where shallow water covers hot springs. The lake freezes over by early December and can remain frozen until late May or early June.

With the park so close there is not many good reasons to skip a season of exploration and adventure. We will see you there. y creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/

DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE NOISE Clint Nagal

T

he Custer Gallatin National Forest has just released its draft environmental impact statement concerning the revised forest plan. There has been much in the paper recently about the best way forward. Everyone seems to have an opinion as if they hope to gain

voice to the voiceless? The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) is universally recognized as the best intact ecosystem in the lower 48, and is widely recognized as one of the last remaining and best functioning temperate ecosystems in the world. Dr. Doug Smith, Senior Wildlife Biologist for Yellowstone National Park, claimed that fact a few weeks ago at a lecture at the Museum of the Rockies. No other place in the lower 48 has such an intact, fully populated ecosystem.

But it’s worrisome. So many are willing to risk this unique place for their own self-indulgence. The GFP is a collaborative of a few large environmental groups, recreational users and special interests who claim to speak for you.

But if you care about the future of the GYE, they do not. There is money and push behind this effort and it is selling American wilderness short. They fail to recognize the crucial role the Gallatin Range plays in the future of Montana’s precious wildlife population. It is critical that the Gallatin Range and the Bridger-Bangtail Range provide that migration corridor connecting the abundant wildlife of the Greater Yellowstone

something for themselves, scrambling for scraps of what is left of our public land. The Gallatin Forest Partnership (GFP) and mountain biking interests have been the most vocal in this regard.

But who speaks on behalf of the resource, the wildlife that inhabit the area? Who is giving a 26

Ecosystem northward to the wildlife-rich Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem.

Back in 1977, Congress passed Senate Bill 393, a piece of legislation which established the Hyalite Porcupine Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area (HPBH WSA). This established WSA was set aside to protect 155,000 acres of wilderness character lands located in the heart of this wildlife corridor. During a March 23, 1993 Congressional hearing, Bart Koehler, then Associate Program Director of the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, provided testimony before the Public Lands Sub-Committee in support of the Gallatin Range Consolidation and Protection Act. The purpose of the Act was to secure land

exchanges within the WSA boundary by allowing methods to convert private holdings to become public land. In his testimony, he described these lands this way: “Passage of this legislation will safeguard some of the finest wildlife habitat and wildlands on the North American Continent. The lands involved are crucial habitat for large elk herds, many grizzly bears, and thriving populations of bighorn sheep, moose, and deer – plus pristine watersheds and productive fisheries the Federal Government has been trying to place into public ownership since 1925.

These lands include the biological heart of the S. 393 Hyalite-Porcupine Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area (155,000 acres; established 16 years

ago) which stretches almost 30 miles from Hyalite Peak to Yellowstone National Park.”

Some of those same groups which supported those words of 26 years ago have aligned themselves with the GFP today, an organization asking for 53,000 acres less wilderness now. What warranted the decrease of land which we once called “the finest wildlife habitat and wildlands on the North American continent”? So now we are being asked to compromise on an already existing compromise, a compromise reached some 40 plus years ago. Why? What’s changed? Does it have anything to do with a new focus to promote recreation as the new form of conservation? It is wrong to diminish wilderness in such simplistic terms.

Recreation is the least important rationale for

wilderness. The Wilderness Act declares wilderness as a resource; a resource that secures and protects the integrity of the watershed, the wildlife, the complexity of a forest ecosystem, and a balance of life on this earth. It ensures some corners of this earth will be forever free from the mechanization of an industrial, trammeled world.

As the Forest Service releases its revised forest plan, we urge the public to support Alternative D, the alternative which provides maximum wilderness protection for our world-class wildlife habitat in the Gallatin Range. q Clint Nagel is a long-time advocate of wilderness and wildlife.

More than a

Pretty Flower

Gallatin Valley Pea Industry Cindy Shearer

T

o fully appreciate the new northside development now referred to as the Bozeman Cannery District, one needs to learn about the role that the pea industry played in the economic development of the Gallatin Valley in the early 1900s.

In 1911, destructive green pea aphids were decimating the pea fields in New York, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Jerome B. Rice Seed, an eastern seed company, sent a representative named William A. Davis westward to find new suitable pest-free growing areas. Working with the United States land office in Chicago, Mr. Davis was given data regarding the large irrigation projects in the West, of which the Gallatin Valley was one. Additionally, the Gallatin Valley was highlighted as an “especially favorable area for the production of peas since growing of the flowering sweet pea reached perfection in this locality, and a Sweet Pea Carnival was held each year.”

In late February 1911, Mr. Davis appeared before the Bozeman Chamber of Commerce and urged its members to lobby local farmers to grow peas for seed. That spring, farmers planted twenty-five hundred acres and that year’s harvest yielded twenty train carloads of peas for shipment east.

The results of the first year’s planting were beyond the expectations of everyone and attracted the attention of all the large wholesale growers of seed peas in the country. By 1913, Gallatin Valley farmers planted seventeen thousand acres in peas, and three more eastern seed companies opened branches

in Bozeman. William Davis broke away from the Jerome B. Rice Seed Company and along with another employee, Budge Parker, incorporated the William A. Davis Seed Company.

In 1916, Parker and Davis built a new warehouse located at 209 South Wallace. They also established experimental plots nearby as well as on land west of town. Davis was particularly interested in plant breeding and sought to develop better strains of peas. With care, he selected vines and pods of the type he wanted, saved the seeds, then planted and replanted them through many generations. In 1922, Davis abruptly left the area. He took with him the cash reserves of the business, forcing partner Budge Parker to file bankruptcy.

After being placed into receivership, Security Bank of Bozeman aided Mr. Parker, and the Gallatin Valley Seed Company was incorporated on September 28, 1922.

With the tremendous success of Bozeman’s seed houses and the added possibility of significant wartime profits from federal contracts, local businessmen T.B. Story, Lester P. Work, and L.L. Brotherton incorporated the Bozeman Canning Company as a community stock enterprise in 1917. Aided by the government’s demand for canned goods during World War I, the company’s $60,000 factory opened on North Rouse in 1918 with a successful packing of 16,334 cases.

As it seems is often the case here in the Gallatin Valley, the added demand for peas created a perfect intersection of timing and opportunity that greatly benefited area agriculture producers. The cannery needed peas for canning and the seed companies needed seed peas. Much of the ground that was being put into pea production had been producing barley, another early season crop.

Barley production supplied local malting and beer businesses, while a large proportion of the grain was exported to Germany for beer production there.

Between anti-alcohol sentiment, World War I, and later national prohibition, local barley producers were excited to work with this new pea industry.

The Bozeman Canning Company worked with the seed companies that contracted with hundreds of local farmers. Pea season started with the sowing of a few acres the first of May, and then more acres every three to four days until the first of June. Raising peas wasn’t an easy business, they are a delicate plant and susceptible to wind and weeds. Hail storms can be devastating and while they require plenty of moisture, they are susceptible to root rot.

From July to September, the cannery hired 250 to 275 field workers. During the early years, most were hired locally and many high school boys worked the fields as “pea roguers,” pulling out “rogue peas” and “mixture peas” that differed from the regular crop. Later, during the war years, Mexican sugar beet workers from Billings worked the pea harvest as this was downtime from sugar beet work.

The pea harvest began in late August or early September and lasted for

about six weeks. To gather the peas, large mowing machines cut the vines, which were threshed in the field to strip the fruit. Trucks brought the peas to the plant for quick processing as the peas would become mushy or soft within ten to twelve hours after being vined. Some farmers fed the vines to pigs, cattle, and other livestock, while others plowed them under and planted winter wheat.

During harvest, processing plants would run fifteen to twenty hours a day. The cannery and seed houses employed over five hundred workers during harvest season, hiring mostly women and children. The women stood or sat at conveyor belts, picking out pebbles, insects, and deformed peas. It was tedious work, but it did have its rewards. During the Great Depression, the women earned thirty cents an hour, which in some cases was the family’s sole income. It also was a chance for women to socialize while they worked. Some of the rural women workers would stay in town with other workers during harvest season, leaving behind the pressures of rural life for a short working vacation where they could enjoy Bozeman city life.

The original stockholders of The Bozeman Canning Company experienced financial trouble their first years in business and the cannery closed for a few seasons, mostly due to machinery breakdowns. It reopened in 1925 under the new ownership of Larry Brotherton and Cassius Kirk, who also owned the Brotherton and Kirk Seed Company.

During the 1930s, the pea industry was the dominant business in the Gallatin Valley, often referred to as the “seed pea capital of the nation.” Customers nationwide regarded the varieties of seed peas developed and grown in the Gallatin Valley—Perfection, Rocket, Bridger, Surprise, Hyalite, and Alaska—as

THE COMPASSION PROJECT Tia Goebel, photos MSU Communications

T

wo years of grassroots fundraising and organizing are coming to an exciting and celebratory finale for The Compassion Project (TCP), an arts-based educational outreach program managed by MSU’s College of Education, Health & Human Development (EHHD). Beginning on April 16, approximately 6,000 locally made artworks will be displayed at five different locations around Bozeman in a collaborative effort to define, explore, and practice compassion. The artworks were created on 7-inch by 7-inch blocks of wood each by a unique individual and will be displayed in an enveloping, mosaic-like pattern at each location.

The 6,000 pieces of artwork can be found in the Weaver Room, West Wing, and upstairs of the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture, with other installations at Sola Cafe, Red Tractor Pizza, Fork and Spoon Homestyle Kitchen, and the Bozeman Public Library. Banners can be found at each exhibition location with directions on how viewers can interact with the artwork via a mobile app created

by MSU students in the Software Factory.

The scope of this project has been made possible by countless hours of volunteer work by over 30 core volunteers, teacher dedication to the project at every school in Bozeman as well as Livingston and Belgrade, and through the incredible

generosity of the community as a whole. Through grants and sponsorships, as well as support from Give Big Gallatin Valley, The Compassion Project raised over $50,000 to support this effort.

“The outpouring of support for this amazing project from teachers, parents, TCP Crew, and other community members is what makes this project special. It speaks to people on a different level given the current division we are seeing in the world. Compassion is something we all need, and something we all can all strive for,” states Kayte Kaminski, Director of The Compassion Project and Assistant Dean of MSU’s College of Education, Health & Human Development.

Kaminski originally witnessed a similar project in LaCrosse, Wisconsin in 2014.

Deeply impacted and inspired by the project in her hometown, she thought it would be a positive endeavor to bring to Bozeman. In response to the national sense of division, Kaminski approached the Dean of the College of EHHD, Alison Harmon, in spring of 2017 with a vision for the project. Within a couple of months, a team of local educators, artists,

and volunteers came together around an agreed definition of compassion; compassion is mindful support, relief, and genuine human kindness for others, ourselves, and our environment.

The team began crafting an arts-based curriculum for teachers and community leaders to address the prevalence of bullying and divisiveness.

The National Bullying Prevention Center reports over 20 percent of students are bullied in schools and the Center of Disease for Control indicates bullying puts children at increased risk of poor school adjustment, trouble sleeping, anxiety, and depression. While there are many existing resources and structures in place to address behavioral and

interpersonal issues, TCP’s curriculum is especially intentional about clarifying and reinforcing positive behavior, rather than dissuading negative behavior.

“Given the presence of bullying in and outside of schools across the United States among children as well as adults, cultivating compassion, perspective-taking, and socialemotional learning skills is an absolute necessity if we are to work together and tackle larger problems,” states Tia Goebel, current Assistant Director and future Executive Director of the project and organization.

TCP’s main focus has been serving young learners, but additional outreach included community workshops for adults and families at host sites such as MSU, Keller-Williams Realty, and Bridgercare.

“I’m incredibly excited to see the community’s artwork finally coming together,” Goebel says. “I hope people feel a sense of collective ownership when they see their work or the work of someone they know up in a public place - it is going to be powerful and breathtaking!”

There are several opportunities to further engage with the project through an event series while the artwork is displayed.

These events begin with “Finding Your Compassionate Voice” on April 15, 2019, at the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture.

During this two-hour event, a series of local storytellers will share their struggles with compassion, followed by an in-depth panel discussion on compassion’s limitations and challenges. Included on the panel is writer, pastor, activist, and author of Hope and Other Superpowers, John Pavlovitz. Featuring musical performances by Permafunk and the Montana Women’s Chorus and a sneak peak of TCP’s art installation, this event may leave you with more questions than answers, but a deeper understanding and reflection.

Questions to be explored include: what are compassion’s limitations? When we talk about compassion, who is it for and who is expected to give it? When is it the right time to act compassionately? Is it possible to be compassionate to everyone? When do our best intentions outlast our actions and actually end up causing harm? How does compassion look differently from person to person?

This event is free and open to the public.

The Emerson Grill will host a cash-bar cocktail hour beginning at 5:30 pm in the Emerson Ballroom.

Earth Day Every Day Angie Ripple

Y

ou’ve probably seen Jan Schweitzer with her large yellow trash bag along a Bozeman city street or Huffine Lane at least once. For the past three years, Jan has been walking the streets and roadways of Bozeman picking up trash along the way. In good weather, Jan spends up to five days a week walking and picking. She loves to walk outside and hates that there is so much trash along the roads of the place she has called home since 1973.

The City of Bozeman has been providing Jan with yellow bags since she approached them after their annual City of Bozeman Clean Up Day in April a few years ago. Jan spoke to Kevin Handelin the City of Bozeman Superintendant of Public Works about her ongoing efforts to keep Bozeman cleaned up, and he offered the supplies they provide to volunteers for the Cleanup Bozeman Program, including a vest, gloves and yellow bags. She took them up on the bags; the first time she was given five. These days Jan takes two large rolls of yellow bags each time she restocks. On average, Jan fills three bags a week, but sometimes up to five.

Honks, waves and thanks are common on Jan’s routes, but rarely does she have any help.

Two things she would like to see more of are fewer people throwing trash out as they drive (or letting it blow out of the backs of trucks), and more folks getting out to help keep Bozeman cleaned up. Jan has asked the Law & Justice Center to commission more inmates for cleanup, but has not seen a great increase in help, yet. She supports the Earth Day Clean Up created by the City, but knows that it’s not just a once-a-year problem; trash is constantly piling up on the sides of every road in town.

In a karmic way, Jan is “paid” for her efforts when she finds money along the road, which happens surprisingly frequently. The strangest thing she’s found is underwear. A common find is

gloves, likely from the high number of construction workers in the area. She has found every article of clothing along the road, but mostly just trash, bits of paper, wrappers, cigarettes, and just about anything you can imagine. One of her pet peeves

is Styrofoam, especially when it’s been hit by a mower, obliterating it into a million tiny pieces, which she will not pick up. Landscaper tip: Please walk the area before mowing and dispose of Styrofoam before you mow over it!

Jan had already made it to Rosauers for her iced tea (“Their iced tea is really good,” she says) when I met up with her on Huffine Lane to photograph her work in progress last fall. When I stepped out of my vehicle, I immediately discovered nearly a dozen pieces of trash. The first piece that caught my eye was a clear plastic bag, not a grocery bag, more like something you would get from an Amazon order. A small piece of Styrofoam was just a few feet from the bag, along with several cigarette butts and random bits of garbage.

Jan’s bag was nearly full when she reached me; the bag included a large piece of cardboard. Her route ends at Cottonwood Road, leaving the long stretch between Cottonwood and Four Corners up for grabs for the next Good Samaritan to take over.

Jan has noticed only one portion of roadway in Bozeman sponsored by a local business for clean up; the stretch is along North 19th Ave, but she notices it is rarely kept up. Business sponsorship of road clean ups is common in many other places; many highways in Montana have this program in

place. The number of clean ups and frequency is managed by the sponsor. Jan knows she can’t clean up the whole town, nor does she want to, but she would love to see more businesses sponsoring roadway clean up and more citizens participating.

You probably won’t see Jan out with her yellow trash bag until the snow melts, she takes winters off to enjoy being a grandmother. As the spring slowly takes hold in Bozeman you’ll have time to contemplate your own litter habits and/or consider giving Jan a hand this year. All she really wants to say is “Pick it up! Pick up your garbage, and maintain it!” Jan knows that as our community continues to grow we will need more individuals helping to keep our town cleaned up.

On Saturday, April 20, 2019 the Bozeman community is invited to meet at the Bozeman Public Library at 8:30 a.m. to enjoy a complimentary breakfast before setting out to Clean Up Bozeman.

The City will be providing “clean-up kit” with trash bags, gloves and orange safety vests as well as information about how you can keep our community clean! Visit www.bozeman.net and www.bozemanmagazine.com/events for more information. g Angie Ripple is a third generation Montanan, who balances wrangling her three children and adventures with her husband while living the dream.

Peas p28

top-of-the-line. However, there were signs that all was not well. The disadvantages of single crop production were made apparent, foreshadowing the ultimate demise of the pea industry in the Gallatin Valley. As had happened in the East, many farmers grew peas season after season with no secondary crops planted in between to rejuvenate the soil or stop the cycle of bacterial blight.

Bacterial blight, a seed-borne pea disease that formed in the soil, moved into the plants and spread from field to field when farmers did not properly clean machines to remove diseased foliage and stems. No chemical was known to fight bacterial blight.

Sensing trouble, the cannery temporarily converted its operations and, under the supervision of the Montana Relief Commission, canned meat for families receiving government assistance through Roosevelt’s New Deal.

Brotherton and Kirk operated the Bozeman Canning Company until the early 1940s at which time it was renamed Pictsweet. With the outbreak of World War II, the cannery again prospered thanks to government contracts.

The Armed Services received thirty-five percent of the goods canned by the company in 1942 and a total of 262,000 cases were packed. Two years later, government demands accounted for fifty percent of Bozeman’s production, but hail and the blight caused such tremendous damage to the crop that the company was unable to meet its quota. The Bozeman Cannery was the beginning of Pictsweet, Inc., which is still in business today with headquarters in Tennessee. In 1948, the Pictsweet Company decided to concentrate on frozen foods, and with expensive freight rates in and out of Bozeman, a decision was made to close the Bozeman plant.

The Bozeman Canning Company reopened again in 1950, under a governing board that included Jack C. Lovelace, Winifred Story Lovelace, and Roy L. Spain. The company limped along, shuffling with out-of-date equipment, poor yields, the high cost of rail shipping to markets, and stiff competition from the frozen foods industry.

By 1954, a group of local farmers and businessmen had purchased the Bozeman Canning Company with a $250,000 loan from the Small Business Administration, but market conditions were no better than in previous years.

In 1958, the Federal Government foreclosed on the property. Seven years later, the government sold the obsolete equipment at auction to Don Corcoran and Roy L. Spain.

At the same time the cannery closed, the valley’s seed pea industry was on its last legs. The only remaining seed company, the Gallatin Valley Seed Company—which traced its roots to the very beginning of the valley’s pea industry in 1911—left the area in 1962.

The importance of the pea industry in the historical development of the Gallatin Valley cannot be overstated. In addition to supporting hundreds of local families for nearly half a century, it symbolized Bozeman’s domestic war efforts and played an important role in economic development for local working women. Remember this as you drive past the old Gallatin Valley Seed warehouse on South Wallace or when you see the lighted old water tower in the Bozeman Cannery District. s Cindy Shearer is the Executive Director at the Gallatin History Museum in Bozeman.

EARTH DAY IMPROVEMENTS FOR YOUR HOME Tim Ford – Real Estate Broker

B

eing the month of Earth Day, April is a great time of the year to look at some ways to make a home more energy efficient. This has been an unusually cold winter in Bozeman, and I’m sure many are looking for ways to reduce their heating bill.

A great foundation for improvements is to consider an energy audit from NorthWestern Energy. The audit includes a report that breaks out historical usage by end use, provides recommendations on cost-effective weatherization methods, and offers additional tips.

For more info, call 800-823-5995 or check out northwesternenergy.com. These audits are free to NorthWestern Energy customers that meet the qualifications.

The least expensive way to reduce your energy bill is to simply change your habits.

Turning off lights and appliances when not in use and setting the thermostat lower in winter and higher in summer can really make a difference. In winter, open window blinds when the sun is out to let in passive heat. When the sun goes down, close the blinds to add insulation.

In summer, flip the technique and close the blinds during the day to keep out the heat.

Additionally, keeping up on basic maintenance of boilers and furnaces can ensure they’re operating at peak efficiency.

Sealing leaks around walls, windows, & doors with caulk or spray foam insulation and weather stripping can reduce drafts by up to 30%, according to energy.gov. They also state that adding insulation to the attic or crawl space is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to reduce wasted energy use.

When adding insulation to an attic, it’s also worth ensuring there is adequate ventila-

tion. This not only helps keep the home cooler in the summer, but it can also prevent damaging ice dams in the winter.

Programmable thermostats are also a great way to reduce energy when not at home.

There are a lot of new smart thermostats that offer some neat options.

Solar panels are becoming an increasingly popular way of generating electricity, and there are still tax credits in place. If you’ve thought of solar panels, but are on the fence, keep in mind that the 30% federal tax credit is currently set to lower to 26% in 2020 and 22% in 2021.

The great thing about energy efficient upgrades is that they can have 3 (or more!) benefits by increasing a home’s value, cutting the costs of heating and cooling, and helping out the environment.

As usual, I have included data for the number of homes sold during the first 2 months of 2019. In addition to the 96 homes sold during this time period, another 121 homes are currently pending, or under contract, as of the date of writing this article.

The included data reflects sales of singlefamily homes in the greater Bozeman area, including Four Corners, Gallatin Gateway, Bridger Canyon, and Bozeman city limits. The data includes home sales reported through the local Big Sky Country MLS, and does not include private party sales, Condominiums, or Townhouses. d Tim Ford is a Realtor® with Bozeman Brokers Real Estate in Bozeman Montana.
