Girls for a Change (GFAC) empowers girls to discover their inherent strengths and make choices that will create the world they want.
Trilobites: One Symmetrically Rad Fossil By Patti Albrecht Though the ocean flourishes with a multitude of life forms today, an even broader diversity of plants and animals was present millions of years ago and is now preserved for us in fossilized form. Trilobites are an extinct arthropod that lived 521 million years ago. A hardy and adaptable species, trilobites managed to survive for over 300 million years. They

and still use their mini-periscopes above ground. Some trilobite species could roll up into a ball when scared – some were even fossilized in this defensive posture. Occasionally, a trilobite fossil is found with a bite taken out of it. Oddly, most of the bites are from the right side, thereby indicating either a predators attack preference or the trilobite’s distinctive evasive maneuver.
Trilobites are generally believed to have had the first complex eyes. Some species even had compound eyes, like a fly. These eyes had multiple hexagonal lenses of calcite and were therefore able to be

were so prolific that over 20,000 trilobite species have been documented and they have been found on every continent. The trilobite’s name is literally a description of its body, which is divided into three lengthwise and parallel sections, or lobes. Like all arthropods, it had a segmented body, jointed legs and an exoskeleton; the trilobite’s distant cousins are scorpions, spiders and lobsters. They ranged in size from as large as a dinner plate to as small as a pea,

Leg Traps
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.
This cigar is another premium edition of Padron’s collection of superb cigars. The cigar’s size belies the ease of smoking it... this stick smokes as smooth and even as any cigar I have tried. Prominent notes of coffee and toasted pecan are prevalent throughout, balanced by complimentary flavors of white pepper and cedar. A slight sweet finish lingers with the aftertaste, and the cigar produces heavy clouds of aromatic smoke. The taste and balance were excellent, right down to the nub. A truly premium cigar for the smoking enthusiast.
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.
This cigar can be found downtown Bozeman at your local tobacconist, Poor Richards.

Gallatin mental health center
Spirituality can be defined in many different ways. Our understanding of spirituality depends on many factors, including our current/past social setting and upbringing. While most would consider medication, coping skills and support groups to be imperative to adequately and effectively managing mental health, spirituality is also an important, if oft overlooked, aspect of mental health self-care as well. Most “spiritual” settings involve a common theme: prayer. Some define prayer as meditation, while others treat prayer as personal communication with God. Whatever your belief, your prayers may be bolstered by the breadth of evidence that prayer is a powerful and indisputably life-

Mountains, Rivers, Forests: Connecting with the Western Wilderness
Oil Paintings by James Weikert
Opening Reception: Friday, September 13th, 5 – 8PM tart’s September exhibit of paintings documents local painter James Weikert’s exploration of the Northern Rockies. Focusing on form and color over realistic representation, Weikert abstracts the elements of his composition into bold geometric forms, recognizable but stylized. An architect by trade, Weikert’s work reflects his design sensibilities in his use of strong lines and architectural forms, while depicting natural, untouched places. The tension between this carefully crafted world and the wildness it represents creates a landscape that draws the viewer in and leaves him wondering what’s behind the next curve in the path.
changing force. Numerous medical and scientific studies have been conducted on the power of prayer – both personal and offered on behalf of another – as it relates to mental health; it has overwhelmingly positive impacts. Within the darkness of relapse, the confusion of cycling and the slow climb toward recovery, spirituality can offer reassurance, comfort and light. Though a virtually non-existent facet of most mental health programs, perhaps spirituality should, ironically, be the first thing to which we turn. For more information on spirituality and mental health or to access any Gallatin Mental Health Center services, please call (406) 556-6500 or visit www.gallatinmentalhealth.org.
The exhibit will be on display through September 11th. A percentage of the proceeds from this show will be donated to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation.

Nurturing Healthy Relationships By Erica Aytes Coyle, HAVEN Development Coordinator Power and control versus mutual trust and respect, threats and intimidation versus open communication, blame versus support– these opposing behaviors illustrate the difference between an abusive relationship and a healthy one. HAVEN, Gallatin County’s non-profit serving victims of domestic abuse, is usually associated with crisis intervention in the case of abusive relationships. However, the organization also promotes healthy relationships and educates our community on how to recognize and create them. For victims of domestic violence who have never been in a healthy relationship, or for teens with little dating experience, recognizing the differences between healthy and abusive relationships is critical. In a healthy relationship: You feel safe and comfortable with each other. In a healthy relationship, neither partner is worried about sharing their thoughts or feelings for fear of the other partner. One partner does not have control or exert power over the other. Instead, they make decisions together, in an equitable way. You have interests and friendships outside of the relationship. What’s more, each partner supports the other in having outside friendships and interests. One does not attempt to dictate what the other is allowed to do or with whom they can spend time. By encouraging other meaningful relationships to grow, each partner expresses their support and trust in the other. In abusive relationships, it’s common for abusers to isolate their victims from friends and family. You and your partner each take responsibility for your actions. It is never one person’s fault if the other abuses them. People in healthy relationships know this and, therefore, are sure to admit to mistakes they themselves make, holding themselves accountable for their own problems without putting blame on their partner. If you think you or a loved one is in an unhealthy relationship, please call HAVEN’s crisis line at (406) 586-4111 to speak with an advocate and learn more about available resources.

Intermountain Opera Bozeman Events Calendar Becoming Traviata Saturday, September 14th; refreshments at 6:30 PM, film at 7:30 PM The Ellen Theatre Tickets: $9
As an aperitif to its magnificent performance of La Traviata, IOB is pleased to present Becoming Traviata. This “thrilling glimpse into the artistic process” (The New York Times) centers on a reimagining of La Traviata, as sung by world-famous French coloratura soprano Natalie Dessay and staged at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in France. The film’s director, Philippe Béziat, concentrates on the production’s director Jean-François Sivadier and his working relationship with Dessay. Becoming Traviata is a rare, behind-the-scenes peek at this modern, minimalist, post-punk approach to the opera that reveals how two great creative minds build the story of a doomed love affair. Reserved seats may be purchased online at www. theellentheatre.com, in person at the box office or by calling 585.5885. Champagne, wine, beer and French desserts will be served during a social hour in the theatre lobby. Opera Run It ain’t over ‘til the fit lady sings. Saturday, October 5th Lindley Park The Opera Run is a fun and different way to kick off an opera season, although opera and running are probably more closely related in discipline and stamina than most realize.

On September 6th, a unique fundraising event will be taking place in Bozeman. The Taxi Takes on the World is a crowd-sourced interactive documentary about conversations between taxi drivers and their passengers as shot by citizen journalists from inside taxis around the globe. Created and produced by local documentary filmmaker Vandana Sood-Giddings, this project examines human connection while illustrating what happens when ethnic and racial stereotypes breakdown and boundaries blur.
Presenting Sponsor:
Sood-Giddings is organizing a film festival based on the same concept in four states in India. Peoples’ taxi videos from all around the world are being accepted and screened and she aims to bring the same films back with her to Montana for a film festival here. The fundraiser will raise money for her plane ticket to India and other costs associated with the film festival.
Contributing Sponsors:
At the fundraiser, attendees will screen a sneak peak of the taxi videos, enjoy music by multi-cultural band Hanumantana and partake in a three-course, wine-paired meal highlighting Indian flavors. The Food Studio, a beautiful venue that organizes dinners, events, catering and classes under Daniel and Eva Wendell’s leadership, will host the event. Tickets are $75 per person.
