Section A

A Seat at the Table Colombo’s Pizza & Pasta Celebrates 28 Years By Cassie Colombo, Co-owner of Colombo’s Pizza & Pasta Thirty-five years ago, my dad, Joe Colombo, drove to Bozeman for a fishing trip with his pals. When he returned from the trip, he convinced my mom, Janet, to move 1,000 miles across the country and away from everyone she knew, while pregnant and caring for two young children, to open a Jewish deli with some close friends in Bozeman, Montana. After a few years, the deli closed and time, progress, etc. marched on. In 1985 – three businesses, seven years and one more kid later – my parents bought Karl Marks Pizza, on the corner of 10th and College. I wish I could say that my parents had crystallized a grand vision of great pizza in Bozeman, but, initially at least, they were really just concerned about making a living and supporting their family in a place they loved. We had cousins and uncles and aunts in Long Island who did run pizzerias and, in the early stages, their help and recipes were instrumental in creating our product, from Uncle Vinnie’s pizza crust and baked ziti to Uncle Sonny’s pesto sauce. My own mom had been absorbing my grandma’s Italian American New Jersey cooking style ever since she married into the family and she brought her new skills to bear on our fledgling restaurant. Over the years, some recipes were tweaked, while others simply evolved. Interestingly, our homemade bread recipe came to us from an industrious and headstrong woman who worked at the restaurant in the early years and thought we could do better than store-bought bread. In 1987, with the restaurant up and running, my parents changed the name from Karl Marks to Colombo’s Pizza & Pasta. (For those of you who remember, the original name was simply the first names of the two restaurant owners, who like most entrepreneurs and business owners, were not actually Marxists.)

Over the years, you may have stopped in the restaurant for a quick pick-up order, a birthday party or a weekly date with your spouse. You may have seen my dad working behind the counter or sitting at his office (table 15) sifting through the piles of paperwork and invoices. You may have caught glimpses of a tiny woman with dimples, my mom, running around the kitchen getting everything done that my dad had promised. You may have seen all three of us – my sister, brother and me – working in the restaurant and growing from young children into adults. (Unfortunately, this means you saw some awkward adolescence and sullen teenagerliness, and for that we ask your forgetfulness.) You may have witnessed our snarky banter and occasional bickering (honestly, one of the best and funniest reasons to eat at the restaurant), but you’ve also seen our loyalty and love. What you saw, in small glimpses throughout these last 28 years, is my family becoming what we are.

CIGAR OF THE MONTH

I wish I could describe some glorious history of Colombo’s Pizza & Pasta, of bravery and inspiration. The simple truth is that we have come to love our restaurant as we love this community, its people, its rivers and its mountains. Colombo’s is, in many senses, my home and my parents’ home. We love to serve real and local food to our very real and local guests and we’re grateful that we’ve had the opportunity to do so. We look forward to each day at the restaurant because it brings us closer to the community we love, to an extended family that has shared in our lives and at our table for 28 amazing years. Located at 1003 W College St., Colombo’s is open daily at 11am and can be reached by calling 406.587.5544.

Camera Obscura Montana State University’s camera obscura, an optical device that projects an image of its surroundings on a wall or screen, will be on the Bozeman Public Library grounds throughout August and the first couple of weeks in September. The device consists of a darkroom with a single hole. Light from an external scene passes through this hole and strikes a surface inside where it is reproduced on a screen overhead. Used in drawing and for entertainment, it was one of the inventions that led to photography and the camera. Be sure to stop in the yurtlike structure on the Library’s front Plaza. To learn more about this form of photography, visit artist webpage http:// www.abelardomorell.net/posts/cameraobscura/ or MSU webpage http:// thecameraobscuraproject.com/.

Local businesses can support the event by becoming event/lane sponsors and prize donors and by encouraging employees to participate as teams of five bowlers.

Teams can choose from Business, Cosmic and Family bowling days and will be eligible to win top fundraising prizes.

Participating in Bowl for Kids’ Sake as a bowler, team, sponsor or volunteer helps local children achieve success in life.

BOZEMAN MONTHLY • AUGUST 2013

The Impact of Domestic Violence By Erica Aytes Coyle, HAVEN Development Coordinator Last month, the World Health Organization published its findings that one in three women internationally will experience domestic and/or sexual violence in her lifetime. This percentage holds true in the Americas as well, with 36% of women over the age of 15 reporting having experienced violence at the hand of an intimate partner. These sobering numbers remind us that domestic violence is not a rare occasion and should not be treated as one. It is nearly as common as not, yet many people believe they know no one who has been a victim. What’s more, many people still view domestic abuse as a private issue, not a public one. However, when examining its annual ramifications for the U.S. alone, it becomes apparent that, whether we are aware of it or not, domestic abuse has a major impact. From a purely fiscal standpoint, the very public issue

of domestic violence costs the U.S. government $8.3 billion each year in healthcare and lost productivity. In examining the more personal side of the issue, we see that well over 1,000 homicides each year are linked to domestic violence.

Clients say;

Ignoring the prevalence of family violence on our society is perhaps easier than reaching out to victims. It can be difficult to know how to handle the situation or show your support without putting the victim at risk. That is where HAVEN can help. As the Gallatin Valley’s non-profit serving victims of domestic violence, HAVEN’s crisis line (406.586.4111) is not only for victims; it’s also available to anyone who needs advice on how to help a loved one, neighbor or coworker who may be experiencing abuse. To learn more about how you can become part of the solution to the very public problem of domestic violence, visit www.havenmt.org.

The Artists’ Gallery in August The Artists’ Gallery in the Emerson is excited to be featuring two talented artists during the month of August. The works of Meagan Abra Blessing and Kitty Whitehouse will be showcased at the Gallery during the month. Meagan Abra Blessing went from spending time with a pack string of horses to spending time with brushes and canvas. Not surprisingly, many of her paintings depict these same horses and their many attitudes. As a self-taught artist, Meagan continues to be influenced by a childhood spent with parents who were pioneers at heart. She is inspired by the rural West and the rugged souls who love the land as much as she does.

Large animals in their natural habitat as well as majestic landscapes are the focus of the paintings of Kitty Whitehouse. Since moving to Montana, Kitty has been inspired by the magnificent mountains, rivers and wildlife of Big Sky Country. She maintains a practice in her work of following the essential artistic principles of balance, emotion, overall design and the use of positive and negative space.

Photographing the Night Sky By Jenna Caplette, with tips from the photo and Apple computer geeks on staff at Bozeman’s F-11 Photographic Supplies

If you have an iPod Touch or iPhone, there are excellent downloadable applications for understanding the night sky. Find the latitude and longitude of your location on Google maps before you go in the field and you will have the best possible interactive sky map available. Your iPod Touch or iPhone can be used as flashlights too – look for an app that includes a red flashlight option. No iPod Touch or iPhone? Pack a star map along with you and add a red flashlight to your camera bag so you aren’t blinded when you need to check a setting on your camera or refill your coffee cup.

cool, so don’t be afraid to use a high ISO on a typical Yellowstone night. As with any type of photography, practice and experimentation is the best way to learn. The joy of digital is that you can evaluate images and make adjustments in the field. The essence of photography is the exploration of interesting light. Enjoy this opportunity to try out nighttime photography where the air is thinner, the sky is bigger and the wee hours still glitter with stars.

When you set up your camera, choose a sheltered location away from gusting wind or any source of vibration, like a nearby road or railroad track, that may cause your camera to shake. Avoid artificial light, such as yard lights, headlights or halogen lanterns. Choose a focal point for your shot, like the North Star, or an interesting landmark – a cluster of trees, a towering boulder, a mountain peak – and use it as a silhouette against the sky. The moon can be a focal point for nighttime landscapes as well, but if your intent is to capture stars, shoot when there is little to no moonlight. As you plan your shot, keep in mind that a wide-angle lens will make the moon or the mountain in the foreground look even further away in the photograph. Use a telephoto on that same scene and you can increase the size of the subject making it look closer and more dominant in the frame. Filters other than a high quality multi-coated UV on your camera lens should be removed to prevent unwanted reflections in your pictures and light loss. Your camera will record more stars at a higher ISO setting. The best range is ISO 200-800. Remember that with a higher ISO, your image sensor records more light, but it also records more noise. Noise is less apparent when the image sensor is
