EARTH’S TREASURES

Initiated in 1949 to inform Americans about mental illness, Mental Health Month provides an annual platform for education, enlightenment and acceptance, while reminding those impacted by mental illness to recommit to advocacy, reform and recovery. Mental Health Month also provides an excellent opportunity to reflect on one’s own mental health and on the policies and politics that impact our community and country. A pandemic of epic proportions, mental illness strikes worldwide regardless of age, gender, race and ethnicity. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization, reports that mental illness impacts the lives of at least one in four adults and one in 10 children—or 61.5 million Americans. And of that 61.5, 13.6 milion live with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, major depression or bipolar disorder. According to NAMI Montana, rates are even higher here, with one in five Montana families affected by mental illness. Perhaps of greatest concern, Montana suicide rates have ranked among the top five in the nation for over 40 years, despite outreach and prevention efforts. Sadly, an average of 15 Montanans will attempt suicide every single day. Since the infamous deinstitutionalization in the 1950s and subsequent passage of the Community Mental Health Centers Act in 1963, community-based mental health treatment has replaced institutionalized care and vastly improved the quality of life for those struggling with chronic mental illness. Since its inception in 2002, Gallatin Mental Health Center (GMHC), Gallatin Valley’s own community-based treatment facility, has provided exceptional outpatient services, crisis care and peer support programs. With a marked growth in need over the past decade has come an increase in the breadth and scope of GMHC’s mission. The comprehensive behavioral health programming now includes vocational services, a peer-run drop-in center, supported housing, comprehensive school and community treatment (CSCT), jail diversion and children’s services in addition to the traditional outpatient therapy, psychiatric, case management and crisis stabilization services GMHC has always provided. And, they provide all of this care to a community that is not always able to pay. In the past year, GMHC provided over $326,000 in charity care. And the Center averages those numbers every single year. In recognition of Mental Health Month this May, GMHC is providing several free educational opportunities to which the

public is cordially invited and hosting its first annual Hustle for Hope 5k Run/Walk to promote ongoing education and raise funds toward its continued provision of free and low-cost care in the Gallatin Valley. GMHC will be offering free weekly seminars at the Bozeman Public Library addressing issues ranging from suicide in our culture and brain health to the Gallatin County crisis system. The Hustle for Hope 5k will be held, rain or shine, on Saturday, May 31st. The event kicks off with registration and refreshments beginning at 7:30AM, followed by a welcome and raffle at 8:30, a children’s event at 9 and the 5k at 9:30. Beginning on the GMHC campus at 699 Farmhouse Lane, the Hustle will traverse over Pete’s Hill and around Lindley Park. Pre-registration is $25 and includes run participation, refreshments and a goody bag. Day-of registration will be an additional $5. For a full schedule of Mental Health Month events and further details or to learn more about GMHC services and community engagement, visit www.gallatinmentalhealth.org or call 405.556.6500.

this April/May

Throughout April, the Artists’ Gallery is featuring student artists from Longfellow Elementary School. The students will be the Featured Artists for the month. With works hanging alongside Gallery members’ artwork, these students in grades K through 5 were chosen to participate in this project so that they could see what it feels like to have their art hanging in an actual gallery. Their work will be interspersed throughout the Gallery and in the hallway display. You will be able to meet some of these young artists at the Artwalk on Friday, April 11th, from 5 to 8PM. The Artists’ Gallery will be showcasing the art of Carmen Stanislao and Marci Surratt during the month of May. Carmen Stanislao will show her bronze sculptures, watercolors, acrylics, oil paintings and a few of her specially commissioned pieces. Her bronzes capture much of Montana’s wildlife, from big game animals to trout in a stream, in its natural surroundings.

Back Up Your iPhone Images with Photo Stream and Picture Keeper

KEH is the world’s largest used camera store and they will be paying top dollar to buy your clean, used cameras and lenses only at F-11 Photo.

By Jenna Caplette

To enjoy your images, you need to interact with them after you take them. It may seem obvious, but to do that you need to know where they are. Photo Stream and Picture Keeper make backing up and organizing your iPhone images simpler.

KEH also accepts iPads. We are an Apple Dealer. Maybe it’s time for you to trade up to a new iPad Air or iPad Mini.

If you’re a Mac user, turn on Photo Stream on all of your devices. When you do, every time you take or edit a picture with your iPhone or iPad it is saved to your camera roll and a full resolution copy uploads to Photo Stream in iCloud the next time you are on a Wi-Fi network. Then, a compressed version is sent from Photo Stream to the Apple mobile devices that have your Apple ID and Photo Stream turned on. This Photo Stream mobilesize image stays on your iPhone/iPad for 30 days, with a 1,000-image limit.

Got a lot of gear to unload? Download the trade-in form at www.f11photo.com 6

Now, here’s the really cool part that is often overlooked. Remember that “full resolution” copy that was uploaded in the first place? By turning on Photo Stream in iPhoto or Aperture on your Mac, you can automatically import all of those full size images and save them to the hard drive of your computer. From there, iPhoto does a pretty fantastic job of organizing on its own. Aperture isn’t quite as automatic, but you have options like saving to a folder named for the month and year the picture was taken. It works on PCs too, saving the images to My Pictures. From there, organize with your favorite program, like Lightroom or Photoshop Elements. Another great way to back up is the Picture Keeper App. Available in the iTunes App Store, it allows you to easily save your iPhone images to a Mac or Windows computer via WiFi. Super simple to use, you just open the app and click “start.” Your iPhone and computer must be on the same network. With a couple of taps, Picture Keeper finds all the pictures and videos stored on the iPhone and backs them up to your computer. If you have more than one device to back up, each one gets its own folder. Simple.

Tales on the Verge Friday and Saturday, May 2nd and 3rd, 8PM Admission: $12/General, $10/Students & Seniors Verge Theater is proud to debut Tales on the Verge, two evenings of original, live storytelling, this May. Tales on the Verge will feature a collection of Bozeman actors, playwrights, comedians and authors recounting true stories from their lives in front of an audience. Touching, funny, embarrassing, exciting, thought-provoking and entirely true, performers Sadie Cassavaugh, Kent Davis, Bennett Drozic, Ryan Lawrence Flynn, Molly Hannan, Greg Owens, Keith Suta and host Ryan Cassavaugh will explore the evening’s theme of “low points” in a series of short stories they never intended to tell in public.

The show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.

There’s also a Picture Keeper storage drive, which you can use to make a back-up that is not on a hard drive. Plug it into the USB port on your computer and let it do the work of searching for photo files and creating backup copies. For just under $30, the 4GB model holds up to 4,000 photos. That should serve your storage needs for just a little while. Now your images are in your standard workflow for printing, backup and editing if you choose to do that on a computer. (You do make prints and back up, don’t you?) If you aren’t using Photo Stream or Picture Keeper, you are missing out on two of the easiest ways to give yourself a fighting chance to back up, organize and archive your pictures. Give ‘em a try.

Providing Safe HAVEN By HAVEN staff

In honor of Women’s History Month, HAVEN celebrates the history of the Domestic Violence Shelter Movement in the U.S. Shelters for homeless women and families have existed since the early 1900s, but shelters specifically for women experiencing domestic violence did not come about until the 1970s. Prior to the civil rights movement, many states had laws condoning domestic violence and strict divorce laws that forced women to remain in abusive relationships. Many homeless shelters did not have ways to keep women safe, nor did they have resources to help survivors of domestic violence. Survivors had few options for escaping an abusive relationship. It was not until the early 1960s, when Al-Anon programs began recognizing that domestic violence, alcoholism and drug abuse were often present in abusive relationships, that discussion around shelters specifically for survivors of domestic violence became a part of the national conversation. Al-Anon and women’s rights groups built coalitions to address drug and alcohol abuse as well as violence in the relationship. As a result of these efforts, Pasadena, California was one of the first places to establish a domestic violence shelter in 1972. Once established in California, safe havens for women in abusive

relationships began showing up across the United States. One of those shelters was HAVEN. Originally known as the Bozeman Area Battered Women’s Network, HAVEN was established in 1979 in response to the community’s need for domestic violence support services and shelter. Since 1979, HAVEN has received over 25,000 crisis line calls and provided nearly 20,000 nights of shelter to men, women, and families in need. In fiscal year 2012-13 alone, HAVEN housed 129 women, men and children escaping abusive relationships and provided services to over 1,000 people in our community.

Metal Detecting: A Brief Overview

WO Design Bozeman, MT

By Patti Albrecht, Owner of Earth’s Treasures

In the fall of 2012, while serving in Ethiopia, Josh Allen (founder of WO Design) was struck with a clear calling to leverage his resources and knowledge to help widows and orphans in developing countries. For the past 6 years, Josh and his wife Holly had owned and operated a natural pet supply boutique (DeeO-Gee) in Bozeman, MT. Josh also had some connections in the “product design world” and realized that he could, with lots of help from others, launch a product design company that directly assisted widows and orphans with the sale of each product. WO Design was born in the summer of 2013 and the first product from WO Design, the WO Bone is launched via a crowd funding campaign on RocketHub in March of 2014. For the WO Bone, Allen has partnered with Bring Love In, based in Addis Abbaba, Ethiopia. Bring Love In (BLI) exists to connect widows and orphans into permanent family units, locally in Addis Abbaba. Each of the orphans in the BLI homes attend school together each day. Providing lunches for those kids is a challenging part of the BLI efforts. This is where WO Design is leveraging sales of the WO Bone to help! For every WO Bone sold, 2 home cooked lunches will be given to a child in the BLI organization. 1 WO Bone = 2 lunches for orphans!

Since long ago, mankind has had the desire to find treasure. In the past, this required maps or legends. Today, finding “treasure” is much easier with the help of a metal detector. Of course, the value of treasure is in the eye of the beholder, but the main groupings for metal detector enthusiasts are gold, coins and relics and Bozeman and the surrounding areas support all three targets.

The first question to answer when selecting a detector is if your passion lies in finding gold nuggets or coins/relics. If you’re seeking coins/relics, then a detector with trash discrimination is needed. Typically, where coins are to be found, there is also a large quantity of trash (nails, pull-tabs, foil, etc.). A good coin machine will have settings with pull-tabs that can be “neutralized” to minimize the number of trash signals, thereby increasing the odds of finding something of value when digging a target. Good places to find coins/ relics include parks, yards, under bleachers, beaches and old forts or battlegrounds.

Some people like to search for new coins and detect after parades or festivals. Others have a keen interest in older finds, such as old buttons off war uniforms or metal accents from old bridles and tack. Areas that surrounded old homesteads are another favorite place to detect. Stories circulate about a time when people buried coins in jars or tins. Some tell of these containers being thrown down outhouse holes for safekeeping. Now, many years later, enthusiasts research old outhouses locations and detect these areas, as well.

After deciding on and purchasing a metal detector, what are some of the basic steps to use it? The metal detector should be adjusted to the user’s height, so it’s comfortable when swinging the coil back and forth. The coil should be tilted so that, when it is swung, it remains parallel to the ground. The coil should be kept as close to the ground as possible. If a coil is swung three inches above the ground, for instance, then that is three inches of depth that the detector is not reading in the ground. Remember, the coil should not rise away from the ground at the end of a swing, this pendulum swing will reduce your searching efficacy, as well. The coil should be kept the same distance from the ground at all times and preferably skimming the rocks or grass. Because of this closeness to, and scraping of, the coil on rocks, it’s a good idea to get a coil cover. Like an inexpensive insurance policy, coil covers protect expensive coils from deep scratches.

If your passion is gold nuggets, then a gold detector should be chosen. A good gold detector needs to be able to ground balance. The ground in Montana is highly mineralized and can give off false signals or sounds that interfere with actual target determination. Multiple trash rejection is not needed with a gold detector, but being able to have the ability to reject iron is beneficial. Most gold machines come with an elliptical coil, which is advantageous when trying to squeeze between two rocks. If you just can’t make up your mind between gold and coins/relics, or you want to be able to find it all, then, yes, there are a few machines that are designed to do both. These machines, however, require more of an investment. Sometimes, when faced with this decision, a family will decide to get a good coin/relic machine and a good gold machine instead of one machine that does both as it can cost about the same. It really depends on personal preference and budget.

When detecting in a grassy area, courtesy and consideration is required. When a target is sounded, go over it in two different directions to form an “x.” Where these two swinging lines intersect is the digging point for the target. Cut a small section of grass in a half circle shape. Pull the grass up and fold it over onto itself, revealing a small section of dirt with the grass still attached. Dig the target and then fold the grass back down and stomp on it to facilitate re-

The WO Bone is a unique interactive dog toy, with it’s unique “triple twist”, divots and bumps (for oral health of your dog) as key features. The WO Bone will be manufactured in Montana (Made in the USA!) and was conceived and designed in Montana as well. Prototyping and test molds have already been made. Manufacturing and order fulfillment strategies are already in place. Once the WO Bone RocketHub campaign concludes successfully, it will take approximately 1-2 months for order fulfillment.

growth. Keep in mind, sometimes it may be necessary to obtain permission to detect and dig. This is simply a brief overview of metal detecting; further research can help you determine the best places to go and products to choose. Metal detecting is anther fun way to enjoy the outdoors, with profitable potential. It gives us a peek into what is under our feet and possibly left behind from long ago. Earth’s Treasures stocks metal detectors from Minelab, White’s and Fisher. Come in and let our staff help you decide on the best metal detector for your needs. We will also give you some more pointers to make your detecting experience enjoyable. Open Monday through Saturday, from 9:30AM to 5:30PM, Earth’s Treasures is located at 25 N. Willson in Bozeman.

Our veterinary staff developed a treatment plan using an affordable drug and monitored their progress. Sixteen of our top volunteers agreed to help with cleaning, and our canine behaviorist even made a video to aid our team in training the pups. The dogs were given a clean bill of health and all found their forever homes.

We want to thank our staff and top volunteers for the hours they spent cleaning, grooming and socializing the pups. Our community animal shelter is stronger for having kept our promise to save these wonderful young dogs.

We were sheltering seven puppies that were possibly exposed to a condition called sarcoptic mange. Many shelters would simply euthanize any animal even suspected of having this condition, but we knew that given time, expertise and attention we could

Leg Traps Dr. Kari Swenson, DVM Gallatin Veterinary Hospital Recently, I experienced a situation that would be a nightmare for all dog owners. My dog, Orion, was caught in a leg hold trap. We were hiking up Hyalite on one of the many trails that interconnect the Moser Creek trailhead/road to the Lick Creek drainage. Moser Creek road was visible just below us. The leg hold trap was less than 10 feet off the trail and baited with strips of elk meat. The young men who set the trap were still in the area. I heard them above me and they came running down as soon as Orion was trapped. Though I was upset, scared and angry that my dog was caught in a trap, I was also thankful they were there because I didn’t know how to release the trap. We were able to get Orion out of the trap with minimal damage to his hind leg. I informed

them that Hyalite might not be the best place to set up a trap line, as it’s a heavily used recreational area. Orion could have been a child sledding, hiking, skiing and playing in the snow. I encourage all dog owners to educate themselves on the removal of leg hold traps and suffocating wire snares. I have gone to multiple websites to collect information on trapping regulations and how to remove a leg hold trap. Is there a reasonable way for Fish, Wildlife and Parks and the trappers to warn the public that there are traps in the area? Dog owners could then decide whether or not to recreate in the same area. As for Orion, he’s doing fine, but I’m going to start carrying a wire-cutting tool. Please educate yourselves about traps and trapping regulations so your dog doesn’t die or sustain a life threatening injury.
