‘It’s a Pleasure,’

MOR Volunteer Says of 30 Years of Service

By Lisa Reuter

One of Barbara Brown’s favorite artifacts in the “Villas of Oplontis” exhibit is this rare marble sculpture of a centauress.

When giving tours of the Museum of the Rockies’ permanent exhibits, Barbara Brown likes to point out the 1930s House to children. Its cramped bathroom, built in after the house was completed, reminds her of the house she grew up in. Joining her on the porch is fellow docent Dr. Roger Barnes.

W

ANT TO KNOW SOMETHING about “The Villas of Oplontis Near Pompei,” the new exhibit at the Museum of the Rockies? Or the history of the region, or MOR itself? How about the time in the late 1990s when a bomb threat evacuated the building on the day former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was due to give a talk on paleontology?

Docent Barbara Brown can tell interesting tales about all of the above and more. This October, she celebrates being a museum volunteer for 30 of MOR’s 59 years of existence.

She’s donated more than 12,000 hours of service, as a docent tour guide, helping the security team, managing the extensive resource

library and tracking hours worked by the museum’s other 275 volunteers. (Oh, there was no bomb.)

“Most of our visitors know her from her Montana History Hall tours, as she is a history buff and has a mind that records all details,” said Blair Speed, MOR’s volunteer and training coordinator. “She can tell you what

Prime August 2016 I 3

happened, where and when about so much in our rich history.”

Other volunteers consider her a part of the museum, and many visitors know her as the front desk volunteer who graciously welcomes them and knows the answers to all questions. In fact, Brown is the only volunteer still working the front desk these days. The intricacies of that task are mainly handled by paid staff now.

Brown waves off the compliments, again graciously. “I do it because I like doing it, meeting people and explaining things,” she said. “I like to help people understand what they are seeing, and working at the front desk is a lot of fun because you meet so many people from different places.”

Brown has lived a few places herself. Born a California girl, she wound up in Alaska after college and spent a couple of years teaching school at the Army base at Fort Greely, Alaska. She also trained native Alaskans to teach in their own schools as part of the state’s rural teaching program. “It was the 1970s, and we were going to reform everything, end discrimination and poverty. But most of the Anglo teachers didn’t last long in the bush with minus 40 temperatures and no plumbing.”

She met her husband, Dick, in Alaska, on Columbus Day 1970, and married him on New Year’s Eve. In Alaska, Brown put her finance and accounting skills to work. She had studied both at college, and was the only woman in her class the year she graduated. “It took longer for women to break into accounting firms than to break through in law and medicine. Except in Alaska,” she said. “In Alaska, accounting was open to anyone who knew a debit from a credit.”

Dick’s job as an insurance adjuster brought them to Bozeman in 1984.

Brown warmed to the city immediately and made two long term commitments: to Belgrade’s Springhill School, where she was the part-time clerk for 20 years, and to MOR. Dick suggested she answer the museum’s newspaper ad for docents.

She volunteers for two other organizations, the American Association of University Women voter registration booth at Gallatin County Fairgrounds Farmers Market in summer and the HRDC’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program during tax season. And she’s not slowing down.

“It’s the pleasure of community service, to do something you like for the benefit of your community. It’s just a pleasure.”

New MOR Docent Training Begins in September Have you thought about volunteering as a Museum of the Rockies docent?

Sign up now to be a part of the new 10-week training program that begins in late September, but early bird registrants can get a head start on reading and pre-training assignments. Docents lead guided tours throughout the museum for school groups and public visitors. A two-year commitment is required.

Embarrassing the Youngsters

By Lois Stephens

I

t doesn’t take much for us older folks to embarrass the kids. Just the fact that we’re old and wrinkly, don’t have pierced body parts, and don’t sport garishly dyed Mohawk hairdos (to name just a few of the activities youth engage in to torment their elders) causes many youth to dismiss old people as dried-up prunes incapable of understanding the real world. Since young people have not experienced older age, they often have a tough time understanding neighbors and coworkers more senior than themselves. As a result, we often discomfit them simply because we exist.

However, we do have a distinct advantage over youth. We’ve lived through the trials and tribulations of growing up, we’ve been there and done that, so we know something about sowing wild oats and behaving in inappropriate ways. Youth, on the other hand, have never been old

so they have no clue about what it actually means when the body can’t always keep up with the mind.

This discomfort on the part of kids becomes extremely evident when oldsters behave outside the box the younger generation has placed them in. For example, a few weeks ago I observed an luncheon interaction in a restaurant involving an older couple and their waitress, who couldn’t have been much more than 17. The couple, obviously enamored with each other, constantly touched each other’s hands and played footsies under the table. The waitress, clearly appalled with this outlandish behavior on the part of two old geezers, couldn’t seem to accept that this couple actually knew how to hold hands and enjoy such closeness and comfort.

Had the couple been twentysomethings or teenagers, the waitress would have accepted the situation without raising her pierced

eyebrow. But to see two old people in love threw her for a loop. She wouldn’t look either the man or woman in the eye, and although polite, she obviously found it embarrassing that two fossils might have romantic feelings. She could barely keep a straight face when talking with them, and did not attempt to make small talk with them.

I can’t blame this kid. When I was still wet behind the ears, I knew for a fact that my parents could not POSSIBLY understand how I felt about anything. After all, what did they know? They were old, they had no idea what it meant to fall in love, they had no idea how difficult being a teenager could be, and they had no clue what was happening in the real world. They had no idea about boy-girl relationships, they could not possibly understand what made the world go around, nor did they have any idea how to have fun. In short, how could they have any knowledge of what it meant to be young?

Ha, guess what, kids? We grow up, get a little bit smarter and a little bit wiser with some experience under our belts, and we come to realize that old people are still young people inside, complete with the same strong feelings and emotions we had in our youth. We may be old, we may not get around quite as well as we did 30 years ago, but we ARE capable of the entire range

of emotions, and we still appreciate the company of a special someone.

Why should teenagers have the exclusive right to demonstrate their feelings? They shouldn’t, and they don’t. Seniors, go for it.

If it embarrasses youth to see their grandparents hold hands and show their feelings for a companion who has shared years of both hardships and good times, that’s just too bad.

If you want to take your special someone out on the town and you feel like holding her hand, go ahead and do it.

My parents still held hands at 90 years of age, and my dad always scooted over and sat next to my mother in the back seat of the car when friends did the driving. That may be one reason they had such a long and happy married life.

I can just imagine the shock this poor young waitress would have felt had she witnessed this special bond between two old relics. need to open jar lids. Fortunately for me, I have thought of a rather devious plan.

The next time a jar lid fixes to ruin my day, it won’t. I’ll pretend I have never attempted to open that particular jar, hand it off to my husband and ask him in my most sincere voice if he would mind opening it for me. He has pride as well, and he will get that jar lid open come hell or high water.

My Favorite Blue Flowers

By Jan Cashman

LOBELIA Lucia(TM) Dark Blue

I

n surveys, blue is the world’s most popular color. For many gardeners, blue is also their favorite flower color. Our perennial expert, Bonnie Hickey, gave a talk on blue flowers this spring. These are a few things she mentioned: Blue flowers blend nicely with many other colors and can create a calming or exciting effect depending on the companion colors you choose.

Softer blue shades combine well with soft yellow, pink, white and apricot and with plants with silver foliage. Deeper blues provide high impact when combined with golden

yellow, orange or red flowers or chartreuse foliage. To keep an all-blue border from getting monotonous, add a pop of white or another color here and there.

Using plants with blue foliage is another way to add blue to your garden. Some hostas, dianthus and ornamental grasses have almost true-blue foliage.

Here is a chart of the characteristics of my favorite blue flowers.

Choose the ones that will work for you. You can’t go wrong with flower combinations using blue.

Aging and Insight Meditation Go Hand in Hand

By Lisa Reuter

F

LOYD FANTELLI began to meditate in 1995, while still in his forties and busy with his career as a surgical pathologist. “I was just looking for a way to calm a crazy mind. I read a number of books and tried to teach it to myself. It’s not an ideal way to learn, really. You need a teacher.”

He took retreats in several meditation disciplines and found master teacher Henepola Gunarantana, author of “Mindfulness in Plain English,” and primary teacher Matthew Flickstein.

When the practice brought a peace of mind, he began training as a teacher in 2006.

Now retired from his medical career, he teaches a weekly Insight Mindfulness Meditation class from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursdays at the Bozeman Dharma Center that’s open

to everyone. He also teaches for hospital wellness programs and at the Gallatin County Detention Center.

In September, he’ll lead a three-week Introduction to Insight Meditation course at the Dharma Center that’s open to everyone.

He brings a Western medical and scientific understanding to meditation’s effects and benefits, and a retiree’s perspective. “Older people have a significant advantage and disadvantage to learning the process,” he said. “The advantage is that we have a bit more perspective on life, often a little more relaxed perspective. The big disadvantage is that we tend to fall asleep and it becomes a nap instead of meditation.” He smiled knowingly.

“You need to be very much awake to practice mindfulness meditation.”

In the ancient Indian language

Pali, Insight Meditation is known as Vipassana, a word often translated as “insight” or “clear seeing.” It is insight into mind and matter, into the impermanent nature of our experiences, and into the nature of our experience as arising from causes and conditions. Mindfulness meditation focuses on awareness of the present moment. Practitioners are directed to observe mind and body without judgment or commentary.

Eastern and Western minds have vastly different understandings of the verb “to meditate.”

In the West, it is yet another thing we do. To meditate on something is to deliberate on or ponder it, dwell on or brood about it, struggle with it, puzzle over it, chew on it, turn it over in one’s mind, consider it from all sides, study it . . . ruminate,

overthink, overanalyze and obsess.

In the East, to meditate is more a way of being. Practitioners calm their minds, freeing them of concepts and attachments. They connect with their innate selves, see clearly and decide wisely.

Meditation is an ancient pursuit that is a part of nearly all religions including Christianity, where it’s often called contemplation. It’s not a trance, hypnosis or a means to run away from problems, Fantelli said. “In fact, it’s running toward reality and clarity. It’s about staying in the present moment, fostering awareness that is free of judgment and commentary, and calming the mind to see clearly.”

In recent years, Western medicine and science have discovered that the practice changes the structure of practitioners’ brains,

Prime August 2016 I 7

increasing the volume of brain tissue in some areas. It also causes psychological effects, helping meditators react more quickly to stimuli, and be kinder and less prone to stress. The benefits extend to all ages.

Scientists have also observed that our minds are naturally built to wander, daydream and make up stories. The system is called the neural default network, and it has many benefits. Left unchecked, though, it leads minds to wander to random thoughts, such as what’s for dinner; compulsive thoughts that repeat over and over; or thoughts about the themes of our lives, anything from “no one loved me” to “I’m not good enough.”

“The first insight most people have when they begin to watch their thoughts in meditation is, ‘I never realized my mind was this crazy,’” Fantelli said. “But the mind is very trainable. We can change the connections in our brains and make

new ones anytime.”

The simplest way to begin is to concentrate on something easy, like breathing. “The breath is always in the present moment and always available,” he said.

The general instructions are to sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes and become aware of your breath. When you find your mind wandering, let the thoughts go and return to “watching” your breath.

Training the mind to stay in the present, to be mindful and to meditate, takes practice and time.

Fantelli recommends practicing 15 to 20 minutes a day every day for a couple of months. You’ll know whether it works for you, or another spiritual practice is a better fit, he said. Always, he’s encouraging.

“Come and see for yourself.”

And if you find yourself falling asleep? Open your eyes, stand up or splash water in your face. “If all that fails, Buddha says, take a nap, and when you wake up, start again.”

Introductory Meditation Course begins September 14th Floyd Fantelli’s three-week Introduction to Insight Meditation course will be on Wednesdays, Sept. 14, 21 and 28, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. All are at the Bozeman Dharma Center, 1019 E. Main St., Ste. 202; and everyone is welcome. His course is preceded on Sept. 7 by a one-night presentation called Why Meditate; it too is 7-8:30 p.m. Information at www.bozemandharmacenter.org.

Anyone can learn basic mindfulness meditation from a book, but a class is more beneficial, especially as a person begins to practice. An instructor can answer questions and provide individual adaptation suggestions and alternative explanations to help students understand more clearly.

Fantelli does recommend two books on mindfulness and meditation: Thich Nhat Hanh’s “The Miracle of Mindfulness,” one of the best books on general mindfulness, and Henepola Gunarantana’s “Mindfulness in Plain English,” which offers the best instruction of meditation techniques.

Cheers to Patio Season (And a few tips for consuming alcohol)

By Hannah Staff After mowing the lawn, tending the garden or taking a meandering summer hike, it’s time to refresh. A nice tall glass of water is just what the doctor ordered. But warm weather beckons with its own ideas, including a frosty beer or saltrimmed margarita. After all, patio season is short in Montana.

Next time you are ready for a cold one, consider these tips from Bozeman Registered Dietitian Lindsay Kordick. First, when you drink, remember to drink enough water too.

“Consuming alcohol causes the kidneys to not reabsorb as much water, which leads to diuresis and increased risk of dehydration,” Kordick said. “If you are drinking in the warm summer months, be sure you are consuming other fluids as well.”

Many people think eight, 8-ounce glasses of water is the proper prescription for everyone. But Dr. Larry Kenney, professor of physiology and kinesiology at Penn State University, says natural hydration levels vary from person to person, and diet greatly impacts those levels. Someone who often eats fruits, vegetables and water-based soups, for example, may be better hydrated than folks who regularly enjoy caffeine and fewer fruits and veggies. Caffeine, like sweating, dehydrates the body.

After making sure you are well-hydrated, consider what is in your medicine cabinet. “When alcohol is mixed with medications, both over-the-counter and prescription, or herbal treatments, it may be dangerous,” Kordick said. “Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you can safely consume alcohol.”

Remember that alcohol can be both beneficial and harmful.

“Heart disease incidence in individuals who consume moderate amounts of alcohol has been shown to be lower than those who abstain from it entirely,” she said. “However, elevated alcohol intake has been linked to an increase in high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and stroke risk.”

If you don’t enjoy alcohol or abstain for health or personal reasons, check out a “mocktail.” All the summery flavors of a mixed drink are present in a mocktail – except the alcohol. Ask about mocktails at your favorite restaurant or watering hole.

Moderation is the key to enjoying alcoholic beverages and feeling great afterward, and moderation is considered one drink per day for women and two per day for men, she said. One drink is 12 ounces of beer, five ounces of wine or one ounce of spirits.

Here are some great recipes to sweeten or spice up your summer drink routine (patio not included).

Cherry Berry Red Wine Summer Sangria Makes about 50 oz

1 bottle dry red wine 2/3 cup blackberry brandy 3/4 cup club soda 1 cup tart cherry juice (lots of antioxidants here!)

1 cup pitted red cherries 1/2 cup sliced strawberries Combine all ingredients in a glass pitcher or decanter. Place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours prior to serving. Serve over ice!
