Affairs of the Citizens in Arranging Our Life Together Rev. Eric and Amy Strader
P
olitika is the Greek word for politics and means “affairs of the city,” or “affairs of the citizens in arranging our life together.” I imagine without a dozen daily mail flyers and hourly pollster calls, politics could be a great word. Politics is how we get water and have sewers and roads. Politics provides care for our seniors and hungry families. There is something sacred about arranging our lives together as a community, as people living on this one interconnected planet. Unfortunately, we are having some real challenges in arranging life in the midst of political rhetoric that is, even though we thought it wasn’t possible, becoming more vitriolic and divisive. We are more committed to obstructing the process than working collectively. We are more committed to listening in order to change minds than listening to understand someone’s story and experience. The reason politics isn’t working for us is that we see our opponents as lesser humans than ourselves. We may have even gotten to the place where, in my faith language, we don’t see those we disagree with as beloved children of God. Instead, we call for the annihilation of the opposing ideological party. We have failed to extend kindness and compassion amidst differences and diversity. We have failed to encourage robust debate about policies in exchange for cliche talking points from television. So, what do we do? The Apostle Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament, wrote a letter to the church he helped found in Corinth. In it, we find a famous passage, most often read at weddings, about love. But, Paul didn’t write it for a wedding; it isn’t about two people who love one another. This passage is about a community in conflict, over politics. The community has divided themselves into rival groups that are fighting over who to follow. Paul invites them to let go of their rivalries and live another way. 4 Love is patient, love is kind, it isn’t jealous, it doesn’t brag, it isn’t arrogant, 5 it isn’t rude, it doesn’t seek its own advantage, it isn’t irritable, it doesn’t keep a record of complaints, 6 it isn’t happy with injustice, but it is happy with the truth. 7 Love puts up with all things, trusts in all things, hopes for all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. As for prophecies, they will be brought to an end. As for tongues, they will stop. As for knowledge, it will be brought to an end.
You don’t have to believe in my faith tradition to wonder if you can love those who voted differently than you. My faith teaches me I am called to love those who don’t share my views. I’m called to be in relationship with those who lost and those who won, no matter how hard that might be. Are we willing to arrange our lives in this way? No matter your political ideology, I feel compelled to invite us to be a community that recognizes the fear that will be palpable on November the 4th. I’m worried our siblings who are marginalized will find themselves in fear for their lives. I’m worried for black and brown lives, LGBTQ lives, and vulnerable lives that feel they won’t be safe. I’m worried about those who feel they have to go live somewhere else. I worry for the collective mental health of our community. So, if you find yourself struggling on November 4th or January 20th 2021, please remember it’s ok to hurt. A few practical things that may provide some solace:
1. To use a Jewish poet from the holocaust, “I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I cannot feel it. I believe in God even when he is silent.” We must, must, must have hope even when all seems hopeless. 2. Breath. Go for Walk. Laugh. Pray. Repeat. 3. Surround yourself with people who love you for you. Those who will love your politics and ideology. Love your unique and unrepeatable self. Continue to fight to make this place we share a better place, for our arranged lives together, matter. S Rev. Eric Strader is one of the pastors at Bozeman United Methodist Church alongside spouse Rev. Amy Strader. They have two kids, two dogs, and a cat they don’t really like and bought a corona camper to enjoy the landscape of Montana.

EDITOR’S NOTE
Gratitude Is The Attitude Angie Ripple
T
his year has been hard, so while brainstorming what to write for this month’s Editor’s Note, I decided the best way to balance the instability I’ve been feeling is with some gratitude. November is an obvious choice of months to proclaim gratitude and thankfulness, so here goes. Bozeman Magazine is a compilation of local contributing writers’ work put together for you to read; each writer has volunteered to create interesting and informative editorial, and our youngest contributor began at age 12. So, what you are getting with each issue of Bozeman Magazine is a slice of real life in Bozeman, from real people who live here. I am so very thankful that our model has worked for the past 13 years, and for the many contributing writers we have published over the years. Our content is truly amazing, and so are our contributors. I am also perpetually grateful for our advertisers, local businesses who have chosen Bozeman Magazine to get their message out and draw customers in. Bozeman Magazine is an ideal venue for getting local and regional businesses seen in each issue and on our website (bozemanmagazine.com); in turn, our advertisers greatly appreciate your business! Another thank you specifically for
Cosmic Pizza, to Ken Burger. Ken has advertised in EVERY issue of Bozeman Magazine, as well as our annual Food Scene dining guides. Thank you, Ken, and congratulations on your new restaurant in downtown Belgrade. Thank you all advertisers past and present; we cannot do this without you. To the thousands of readers who have voted in the Bozeman’s Choice Reader Poll over the past six years, a very big thank you to you. You make this time of year so fun for us. As we watch the votes pour in and the winners rise to the top, we get excited for the year to come and the information we can provide to locals and visitors in the Bozeman’s Choice Reader Poll Annual Guide listing the top 3 vote getters for each question. Look out for the 2021 Guide this January, and if you haven’t voted yet, go to bozemanmagazine.com by Nov 7, 2020 to vote. Of course, I am thankful for my family. My husband Brian, who designs each page of the magazine and keeps our plants, animals, and us fed, and our three children, who do not love virtual school, but love us enough to humour us by participating. I love you guys. Thanks Bozeman! It’s been 162 months of curating interesting art and information for you. I am thankful for my job. d

FOOD & DRINKS
Angie Ripple
S
idewinders in Bozeman has been serving the community since June 2017, holding firm to its founder’s Marine Corps values of “leaders eat last” and “take care of your people.” Sidewinders is a family-run business that loves to serve the families of the Gallatin Valley and beyond. We sat with Regional President of the Blue Collar Restaurant Group Blane Woodfin to talk about all things Sidewinders American Grill. Angie Ripple: How was Sidewinders conceptualized? Blane Woodfin: My wife Ellie’s parents started in the restaurant business in Jackson, WY, in 1989. My father-in-law was a Marine Corp fighter pilot, and after he got out of the Marines they moved to Jackson and bought a little taco shack called The Merry Piglets. At that time, it was only open seasonally in summer, from Memorial Day to Labor Day; it was walk up service, very fast casual, and that was their first foray into the restaurant business. After a few years of struggling to learn the business and figure it out, they converted that into a full service, year-round business and had an opportunity to take over some space in another building to open another restaurant. Joe, my father-in-law, has always loved

diners, and that’s kind of where the inspiration for Foxtrot came from, so they opened this restaurant called The Blue Moon Diner. It was a lot of old school comfort food, scratch kitchen, and a lot of the things you see at Sidewinders today were on the original menu at The Blue Moon Diner, even down to the Chicken Pot Pie, French Dip, French Onion Soup, and all that good stuff. Blue Moon Diner was an immediate hit in Jackson, breakfast, lunch and dinner, it was super busy, and it was right next door to an old bar called the Teton Rose, and when that went out of business the landlord called Joe and was like ‘hey we’ve got this space and you’ve already got this diner next door, would you be interested in taking over?’ and he was like ‘ya, sure’, so he called up all of his Marine buddies. They had talked over the years about opening a bar together, making it all Marine Corp themed and so they did it. They took over the Teton Rose, hung up a bunch of model airplanes and opened Sidewinders. Originally, it was just a bar; it was a bar-bar. Some of the stories Joe tells about the things they did at first to try to make it to work were hilarious; like KISS cover bands and Chip and Dale dancers and all sorts of crazy stuff that we don’t do anymore, but he was just figuring out the concept. What ended up happening was that the guys who
www.bozemanmagazine.com
had become the loyal customer base were mainly blue-collar workers, people that we assimilate with, but they wanted food from Blue Moon Diner. So, they order a Chicken Pot Pie and then ask if they can sit at the bar at Sidewinders and eat it. So, it just made common sense that we just need to combine these two concepts. So essentially that is what is Sidewinders today: Blue Moon Diner in the kitchen and Sidewinders in the bar. AR: The Chicken Pot Pie is my favorite. BW: It was crazy, when it got featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, I was managing the Sidewinders in Jackson and overnight it was insane, people calling from all over the country asking for the recipe and asking if we could ship them one. AR: Awesome. What makes Sidewinders unique in the Bozeman Food Scene? BW: I think that what makes Sidewinders so special is that it appeals to the masses. What that really is, we already talked about the comfort food aspect, but it’s all homemade. You can’t get on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives if 95%+ of your menu isn’t made from scratch, and I think that’s one of the things that really stood out to them, and
that they really liked about our restaurant is that it wasn’t a typical Diners, Drive-Ins or Dive but that it’s a big restaurant concept with a diner in it, but we still take the time to make things homemade. I also think the concept being bettering home, with the Marine Corp emphasis, the American Flag on the wall, that resonates with a lot of people here and it’s authentic, it’s who we are. Joe being a Marine Corp fighter pilot is the whole background of the concept. In fact, the partners who invested in the original Sidewinders in 1997, most of them are in our investment group at Sidewinders in Bozeman. It really is the background of our culture. Sidewinders is our flagship for the company and is the foundation for our company culture as The Blue Collar Restaurant Group. AR: What do you want people to experience when they walk through your doors? BW: That’s a great question because I think that walking through the doors is one of the most important parts of the restaurant experience. We really, really try hard to have a top-notch experience at the host stand. Walking in right now, you will be greeted at the front door because we can’t allow anybody to wait inside. But you’ll find someone who is smiling, helpful, courteous, and kind. We are thankful that people have made the choice to come to one of our restaurants because we know that there’s a ton of other choices out there, so we want people to feel like it’s appreciated, because it genuinely is. Restaurants can be stressful places to work sometimes, but we try hard to communicate with customers how much we appreciate them, and thank them for choosing us.
company culture from scratch. Even though it has been extremely challenging, especially at first, it’s been a huge rewarding experience to me to be able to gain traction on that, and become a leader in the community, and work with this network of people between our employees, of course, our suppliers, different businesses that we work with, vendors, craftsman we work with on our buildouts, that’s been hugely rewarding to me.
AR: What do your regulars keep coming back for?
AR: How has it been running the restaurant through the pandemic?
BW: I definitely think it’s the people. I mean the food is definitely important, 76 draft beers doesn’t hurt either, but company-wide our tag line is “Service First” because that is our mindset across all eight Blue Collar Restaurant Group locations, is that service is what drives the restaurant experience, and what differentiates us and what brings the customers coming back. What we always talk to our teams about is that it doesn’t matter if you put five-star food on the plate, or mix the perfect cocktail, if the customer doesn’t have a good experience with the bartender or server that food is not going to taste as good, or the cocktail isn’t going to taste as good.
BW: Obviously this is unprecedented for everyone, I think particularly challenging for the restaurant industry. We were closed, offering only take-out and delivery services for six weeks, which anyone that knows anything about the restaurant industry already knows that our margins are razor thin to begin with, so then you cut our revenues down to a fraction for a month and a half and it’s completely understandable why so many restaurants are going out of business right now because it was extremely challenging, not just for me, or any other individuals in the company, just for the company itself, to be able to stretch as thin as we did, to keep people employed, and try and maintain our payroll, and also maintaining our customer loyalty too. A lot of restaurants made the decision to close outright for the stay-at-home period; we decided to stay open even though we were losing money every day, because we felt that keeping the taste of our food in our
AR: What do you enjoy most about being part of the Bozeman community? BW: For me personally it’s been a great opportunity. It’s been a big challenge coming in and starting from scratch, but that’s been the big thing for me is to start, and build a

customers’ mouths was extremely important, maintaining that brand loyalty, and I think it was the right decision. I would say internally the challenges for me were improving on communications with our team. We have over 150 employees in Bozeman alone, but then also my role in helping out in our Jackson market as well.
Coming up with systems that make sense, pivoting to improve on our operations, and making customers feel safe. And, also trying to build revenue streams too. We’ve on-boarded delivery services like Door Dash and Uber Eats through all this too which has been huge for us, in keeping us afloat. You don’t have months to figure these things out, it’s more like days, and you have to make a decision and go for it. It’s been really exciting and challenging, but I’d rather be challenged and active at something than stagnant. I’d like to give praise and applause to our leadership team. It’s one thing to help develop the systems and figure out what to do after this, but they are really the ones who have their boots on the ground and make it happen every day and that’s important to our customers and our staff. I hear from the staff every day about how our managers are doing a great job of following our operational protocol, making them feel safe being at work, and feeling like we’re doing the right things, and also making customers feel good, and handling the crowds. I just want to shout them out big time because we couldn’t do it without our management team and leaders in the business. AR: Is there anything coming up that you would like the readers to know? BW: It’s sounds crazy, but we are looking at opening some new restaurants. We have a sushi bar concept that we are looking to do in the Market building adjacent to Tanglewood. Our goal for that is to make it not only sushi on the West side of town, but also approachable sushi, really fun, casual, approachable price points, and we’ll be taking a lot of the sushi concept that we have at our restaurant Noodle Kitchen in Jackson and bringing that to Bozeman. We have a two phenomenal sushi chefs working in the company since we opened Tanglewood and

Foxtrot and we are really looking forward to giving them that opportunity to help us build the business with a concept that they are really excited about. We are starting to lay out our Tex-Mex restaurant The Merry Piglets; it’s another replication of one of the original restaurants in Jackson. So that is planned to go in the lot just West of Sidewinders, so West across from the entrance to Ferguson Farm, and we’re really excited for that. We’ve just rebranded Merry Piglets for Jackson; we feel like that’s a really tight concept now that we’ll be able to open with and hit the ground running. AR: What does being voted Bozeman’s Choice mean to the Blue Collar Restaurant Group? BW: We all know that this is a fun, friendly competition, but it is really meaningful. We have a very humble culture in our company and most of our staff and our management team probably downplay it, but I know it means a lot to them and it just shows how supportive our locals are and that is what really drives our business. I would say 90+% of our business is locals, which is the way that we like it. We don’t see ourselves as a restaurant that serves the tourism industry, although I know that’s a part of what we do, The locals keep the lights on for sure, and they drive what we’re doing, and their feedback is really valuable to us.
Sidewinders and the Blue Collar Restaurant Group are ready to earn your business and your loyalty. Find their restaurants on the West Side of Bozeman in the Ferguson Farm area. Semper Fi, Bozeman! w Angie Ripple is the co-publisher of Bozeman Magazine; she is usually hungry and highly recommends the Pot Pie at Sidewinders.

An Interview WitH RECORD STORE DAY’S
Michael Kurtz R
ecord Store Day is an annual event which began in 2008 and is held on a Saturday every April, as well as every Black Friday in November to celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store. The day typically brings together fans, artists, and independent record stores around the world. Recently we had the chance to chat with one of RSD’s founders, Michael Kurtz, about everything Record Store Day. Here is what we found out.
Brian Ripple: Take us back in time and give us a little background on yourself pre-RSD. What was your life about, before RSD got started? Michael Kurtz: Not long after 9/11 in 2001, I moved to Brooklyn, NY, and began networking for a coalition of independently owned record stores now called the Dept. of Record Stores, developing strategies to compete with big box stores. Around 2006, I moved to Silver Lake in Los Angeles and began networking with Los Angeles labels and artist managers. I credit this move with making Record Store Day possible as the business environment was totally different in Los Angeles, and I could meet and become friends with folks like The Doors’ drummer John Densmore, Frank Zappa’s wife Gail, and Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo. It was also easier to get a meeting with then President of Warner Brothers’ Records Tom Biery, which is what made Record Store Day happen. BR: Do you play any musical instruments or ever been in any bands? MK: After studying music at Appalachian 16
November 2020
State University and playing in the university big band for a couple of years, I heard R.E.M. in the early ‘80s and decided to drop out and start a band called Three Hits. We got on MTV, signed to Epic and then dropped. There is a Captured Tracks compilation called ‘Strum & Thrum” that just came out and we’ve got a demo track that we did with Don Dixon on that album. It’s kind of like the awesome Rhino ‘Nuggets’ album that Patti Smith Guitarist Lenny Kaye curated back when. I also played in an acoustic band called Semicolon that did a 7” single for Kramer’s Shimmy Disc label and put out a couple of albums. That was all before Record Store Day. BR: Outside of RSD do you have any other connections to the music industry? MK: Prior to COVID 19, I helped create the Making Vinyl conference to establish a strong dialogue as to how we could expand the manufacture and sales of vinyl internationally. We held conferences in Detroit, Los Angeles and in Berlin, Germany. BR: How and when did the concept of RSD come to life? MK: Two record store owners suggested to me that independent record stores do something similar to the comic book industry’s Free Comic Day. The Dept. of Record Stores created a music gathering in Baltimore, MD called Noise In the Basement to discuss the idea. We decided that we would throw a party and that vinyl would be a big part of that. After this meeting, I took the idea to Warner Bros. Records’ Tom Biery and he immediately got it and we reached out to
www.bozemanmagazine.com
Metallica’s management to see if the band would get on board. They said yes and we started planning the release of vinyl records and a big event to celebrate Record Store in San Francisco. The first year we had about 100 stores participate in the USA. After that, I traveled to Europe to meet with organizers at the famous Cemetery of Pere Lachaise where Jim Morrison was buried to plot the spread of Record Store Day throughout Europe. We drank a bottle of wine and now have over 1,300 record stores in the USA and another thousand or more internationally. For me, personally, I knew we’d made it when we got an email from Paul McCartney saying he loved record stores and was behind Record Store Day. Being the big Beatles’ fan that I am, when this happened, I think I floated out of the room; I was in like a balloon. Connecting with the surviving members of the Doors was also a big turning point and I still work with John Densmore on Record Store Day projects to this day. Another big moment is when we were sent a picture of Jimi Hendrix hanging in his favorite Greenwich Village record store the week before ‘Are You Experienced’ came out and then getting permission from the Hendrix estate to make it our official Record Store Day poster. I am a huge fan of Jimi Hendrix, so much so that he used to appear in my dreams all the time as a kid. BR: When you began RSD what was the main thing you were concerned about, streaming or the corporate box stores? MK: The main concern at the time was the media portrayal of independent record stores as some kind of benighted community that was too dumb to realize that we

were going out of business. At the time, we were having a great time, selling a lot of music on CD and doing a lot of artist in-store events. You just wouldn’t have known it if you read all of the articles about our demise after Tower Records shuttered. We wanted to counter the negative media coverage by throwing this big party. The big box store struggle came before Record Store Day and it was the reason that several coalitions of independent record stores formed across the country. BR: What was the standard business model for the selling of music at that time? MK: At the time, practically zero new vinyl was being made for sale anywhere. If you went into a record store, they might be selling vinyl for anywhere from twenty- five cents to a few bucks. It was all CDs. BR: Walk us through how the RSD team first started getting independent record stores involved. Especially, what was this process like prior to the first RSD? MK: Essentially, three coalitions of independent record stores formed. There was our organization and the Coalition of Independent Record Stores who remain the best known to this day. And there was the Alliance of Independent Record Stores. We were trying to fight against a system wherein the majors gave large amounts of marketing dollars to corporate stores and they could use them to underwrite selling CDs really cheap, while the independent stores were left to prop up the value of CDs by being forced to sell them at a much higher

price. It was a total drag for us. I mean, we used to have hard core music fans grilling us about why record stores were charging so much more than the corporate stores were. It was hard to explain and we hated it. Anyway, these three coalitions formed the backbone of Record Store Day and make it possible for it to function day-to-day. BR: Can you talk a little about the relationship between the artists and the independent record stores? MK: There would be no Record Store Day if artists like Jack White, Metallica, Wilco, Iggy Pop, Pearl Jam, the Foo Fighters, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Brandi Carlile, and Ozzy Osbourne didn’t get behind us. They really gave us wings by doing special events and making the records. Many of these artists have strong ties to record stores. The Beatles original manager Brian Epstein was a record store owner. Iggy Pop and Jeff Tweedy both worked in record stores while they honed their skills. The connection with artists and record stores is very real. It’s been gratifying to relaunch the vinyl format and be able to funnel back millions of dollars collectively to these artists. When I met David Crosby a few years back, he was effusive in his praise for what we were doing and how much it was needed to support artists. ‘If I Could Only Remember My Name’ is one of my all-time favorite albums, so that felt great. BR: Recently vinyl record sales surpassed CDs since the first time since the 1980s. What do you think it is about the resur-
Record St ore Day’s and Shep ard Fairey Michael Kurtz & B abymetal printing and sign ing poster s
gence of vinyl in particular that allowed this to happen? MK: Unfortunately, it feels like the majors are prematurely killing off CDs. We try and tell them that fully 50% of hardcore music fans still want CDs but they’re not listening. It’s a repeat of what happened when vinyl was abandoned in the 1980s. I am not happy about this at all. CDs are awesome and really serve a lot of people. As far as the resurgence of vinyl, I love that. I love everything about vinyl, opening the package, reading the liner notes, looking at the visuals, listening to the amazing sound. Being a former artist myself, I know how much love, energy and time artists put into the vinyl package, most do not think of their album as truly being released until it is made on vinyl. The exception being a lot of popular hip-hop artists. They are more in the singles business so it’s not as important to them, but even this is changing. BR: How has this years COVID-19 global pandemic affected RSD 2020? MK: We had to completely rethink Record Store Day back in March of this year and make some very hard decisions that led to the social distancing of the event itself, rolling it out in three days instead of one. The main reasons for doing this were health concerns for the customers and staff as well continued on next page

“TOP SECRET” Michael Jochum
Over the course of my 50 year career I’ve always contended that the studio is my home away from home. It’s where I feel the most power, and a profound sense of peace. The dissection of the recording process, the almost surgical attention to detail has always been something that I’ve resonated with. This story documents a memorable day in the recording studio and my brush with greatness:

t would’ve been 1994 because this particular record made its debut in 1995. I got a phone call from the Dateline mavens asking me if I’d be available for an album recording session—tomorrow. Record dates for “tomorrow” are normally few and far between, as record albums take quite a while to make, and the ramp-up time is usually quite long. Big pop records have many cooks and various sous chefs in the mix, and everyone has something to say about at least one thing, if not one hundred things. Dateline explained to me that this particular record and the artist for whom the record was being made needs to stay top secret: yes, she actually said, “This particular record and the artist performing on the record need to stay TOP SECRET.” I have no problem keeping a secret, particularly when it involves me receiving triple scale for a triple session, so breaking out my datebook, I scribbled down the salient details. As I wrested the phone in its cradle, I thought to myself, “Hey, it’s just possible that this particular record, along with the top-secret artist of note, just might make history.” The next day I showed up at the appointed top-secret hour, at the less-than-
www.bozemanmagazine.com
top-secret recording studio, and met the top-secret producer de jour. “Michael,” said the producer-of-cred, “today we are going to make history. But please don’t tell anyone.” My trusty friend and cartage-guru Jimmy Boy Williamson had already set up my expensiveexpansive drum kit in the hermetically sealed drum booth, but I had to grab several items from my vehicle to complete this top-secret mission. The “flavor of the day” producer requested that I bring additional snare drums to refine the sound on the particular two songs that I would be performing. Yes, the request for multiple snare drums was also top secret. So out of my vehicle came the snare drums, with me in tow, and as I reentered the studio, the desk maven at reception wouldn’t even look my way because, I’m assuming, she was also told to make sure to keep this particular session top secret. I sat upon the drum throne and began to service the top-secret producer with a myriad of brilliant snare drum sounds and soundscapes. First I tried a Piccolo snare drum, which failed miserably. I then offered another direction and grabbed a 7-inchdepth snare drum, which resulted in a “Goldilocks and the Three Bears“ moment
as the producer-of-cred intoned over the talkback mic, “Michael, can you please find me something in between those two snare drums? Perhaps a 5.5-inch-depth would work.” Well, just like in the storybook tale of the disgruntled Goldilocks, this particular snare drum was “just right.” Thank the baby Jesus. And then the tracking began. The first tune was a simple little R&B something or other, and after 26 or 27 takes, the producer screeched over the talkback mic, “Michael, I think we have exactly what we need.” In other words, he would cobble everything together with his ADAT machines later and make a drum track, one bar—or perhaps half a bar—at a time. Then began the laborious task of being brilliant on the second song. You know, it’s interesting: when you have a “win” on a song that you record first, it’s always a bit of a downer to have to get to that second tune. (“Can I recapture that magic?”) As I played my fifth or sixth attempt, I spied some commotion in the control room. I could tell that there was an entourage of people arriving with someone of apparently great importance. Sure enough, the topsecret artist to which this particular day and the past year had been dedicated had entered the building. The A-list producer ushered me into the control room to meet this particular pop “king.” By the way, unless you’ve been living in some alternate universe, you would be familiar with this icon of pop frivolity. But it’s important that I keep this particular “king” of pop, and the story that surrounds it, or him, or her, top secret. I was finally able to make my way into the center of this particular entourage, consisting of bodyguards, managers, thrill-seekers, and various hangers-on, and was greeted warmly— albeit in top-secret fashion—by a man of genuine heart, humility, darkness, and despair. Some extremely small talk ensued, but I was more focused on what this man of mystery was chewing and continually depositing into a trashcan situated to maximize its accessibility. I also observed several boxes of Kleenex and witnessed my newfound top-secret friend dipping his hand into said Kleenex boxes and placing the tissues into his mouth one at a time. I had to ask. How could I not ask? So this I said: “Excuse me, I couldn’t help but notice that you are putting tissue in your mouth, chewing and discarding. What, exactly, is up with that?” My new top-secret friend said in a very soft voice, “Well, it’s not like I ingest it. I simply like the taste.” Michael Jochum is a Husband, Father, Grandfather, Drummer, Author, advocate for the disabled musician, Activist, and dog lover.

Record Store Day p. 16 as financial concerns for the record store owners globally. It was very difficult, but I’m happy to say that we did it well and we’re actually surpassing the expectations for record store sales this year as compared to last. Our success would be even bigger if the majors were fully engaged in creating vinyl and CDs prior to the spread of COVID 19 and currently. It’s criminal what is happening now really, with the outsourcing of production and distribution of vinyl and CDs. They have made record stores’ job of satisfying the demand for music in the physical format much, much harder. BR: Outside of playing in-stores, are there any other opportunities for independent artists to participate or be involved in RSD? MK: Not really, we have our hands full with creating the records and events. We’re open to creative ideas and will occasionally do something exceptional like we did with the Dogfish Head Brewery co-release with Galaxie 500 and the beer that went along with it. We’ve done some fun stuff with three-inch records for bands on the Epitaph label, like Bad Religion, and even the Insane Clown Posse. We like to do unexpected things that put a smile on people’s faces. BR: What are some of your biggest surprises being involved in the whole RSD process?
MK: Oh my God, having those two stores here has changed my life once again. I go to Cactus primarily for new releases on both CD and vinyl, and have picked up records by artists I’d never heard of before, the latest being Fred Eaglesmith and Tif Ginn. I’ve also found some real gems for a few bucks in their bargain basement like the early Warner Bros’ sampler double albums. The Wax Museum is another joy. I’ve found some unexpected records by artists like Wes Montgomery, Donovan’s Brain, The Banned, Iggy Pop, Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway as well as Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks. It’s just so much fun to be able to go there and talk music and find cool stuff. I think this is where I first heard of KGLT too, where I now do my “Free Spaghetti Dinner” radio show every other Monday from 3-6pm, spinning Record Store Day releases and music that I think is exceptional. BR: What are some of the biggest highlights of the upcoming RSD Black Friday? MK: Before I left NYC, I lost a dear friend to COVID. His name was Hal Wilner and he was the music director of Saturday Night Live for decades, among other things. We continued on next page
MK: The event itself is the biggest surprise actually. My wife asked me early on “so what is Record Store Day?” And at the time, I had to be honest and say “Well, we are going to throw a party and put out some cool vinyl records.” I had no idea that I would eventually be knighted in France for my work, much less helping to create the world’s biggest music event. Beyond the tens of millions of dollars in vinyl sales we produce every year, we also set the stage for hundreds of artists to do special events with the stores. Something that, via the internet, is still happening, even in the time of COVID -19. Another big surprise, was figuring out how to engage more women in the event. We had a big breakthru when St. Vincent said she would be our first female Record Store Day Ambassador. This was super important because about five or six years ago, we noticed that more women were buying vinyl than men. The age of the average vinyl buyer also dropped to below 28 years old. No one ever thought that would happen. This year our Ambassador is Brandi Carlile and we couldn’t be happier. Another big surprise came by traveling to Japan and tapping into their pop culture. This is where the concept of the Record Store Day 3” records came from. BR: Not long ago, you relocated to the Bozeman area.

Record Store Day p. 16 are going to release a Nick Cave “Cosmic Dancer” 7” record from Hal’s Angel Headed Hipster album, my choice for the album of the year. Another casualty this year was the tragic loss of Adam Schlesinger. We are going to celebrate his band Fountains of Wayne’s classic album Welcome Interstate Managers, featuring “Stacy’s Mom,” which is released on vinyl for the first time. We’ll be releasing a 7” single for Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, featuring his daughter for the first time. We’re re-releasing Elliot Smith’s debut album but adding unreleased alternative versions of tracks. I’m a big fan of Charlie Brown and we’re going to issue the famous “Christmas Time Is Here” on 7”. We’re also going to launch a new concept called Original Grooves, highlighting a vinyl cutting technique known as “parallel grooves,” where grooves are cut side-by-side instead of one after another, allowing for a different aural experience depending on where the needle is dropped. The first of this series comes from five-time Grammy nominee Bettye LaVette, with hidden gems from Verve legends Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. In addition, the Doors’ drummer John Densmore is offering his new book “The Seekers,” written about his meetings with amazing musicians throughout his life, with autographed copies being made available only at participating indie Record Store Day stores. We’ve also got special records coming from The Rolling Stones, Alice In Chains, the Beastie Boys, Norah Jones, The Weeknd, U2, Lou Reed, Sonny Rollings, Chicano Batman, Hank Williams, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings,
Record Store Day’s Michael Kurtz & Jackson Browne
U2, George Harrison and about a hundred more. There is something for everyone. BR: Do you have any ideas outside of RSD for sustaining our independent music sellers? MK: I think the biggest concern is allowing independent record stores to meet the
demands of their customers. The music industry is going through a massive change with streaming and if record stores are to thrive, we need to be seen as a valuable asset and invested in so that they continue to be the meeting place for serious music fans who want to have fun and celebrate art and music. How we meet the challenge is to be determined. Record Store Day proved that we can change the music industry for the better, so I’m thinking we can do it again. All of this fresh Montana air, and beautiful scenery, is clearing my head, so who knows?

Peaks Peace and Poetry “When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”
-Wendell Berry (The Peace of Wild Things)

he long week had ended, but what did it matter? Covid-19 was still running wild, recent court rulings indicated our public lands were endangered, and the doctor said the biopsy result was malignant. The weather was cold, winter was in its first stages of surrendering to spring, snow still lay deep in the mountains. But when Saturday morning came, the sun broke through the gray ceiling of low clouds, and we decided we had to go somewhere, get out of the house, walk, hike, ski – anything to escape 2020, even temporarily. We called our ‘quarantine buddies’ and they both wanted to join us. Shortly we were headed up into the hills, uncertain if we were skiing, snowshoeing, or simply walking. But we were out. At our selected trailhead, we parked the car and saw footprints in the mud heading up the mountain, so we left the skis in the car. We hiked for a mile before we ran into ‘wading snow,’ but kept pressing on for another mile through intermittent snow, wet trail, and ice, before we found what we were looking for: some south-facing rocks free of snow. We basked in the sun with a view to the south that opened up across miles and miles of mountain peaks, ridges, and dark swatches of valleys – a beautiful, stunning view. Climbing up onto the rocks, we quickly 22

found comfortable perches for ourselves and reverently took in the view for a few silent minutes before we spoke. Then, one of our small group started reciting the above poem by Wendell Berry while the others listened intently, soaking up the solitude and, like chlorophyl-filled leaves turning sunshine into energy, we turned these words and the beauty around us into peacefulness and contentment. One after another, we took turns reciting memorized poetry, reading poetry written on scraps of paper tucked into a corner of a daypack, or poetry written by one of our own. Thus began a tradition that continued the rest of the winter, spring, and through the summer into fall, combining hiking and skiing with poetry in the mountains. Like Wendell Berry said, “For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.” Tranquility and freedom come with the energy spent in experiencing nature through hiking, skiing, biking, fishing, or climbing in the mountains. In much of the intermountain west, perhaps especially here in the Bozeman area, one has to embrace the seasons in order to manage our climate. When it’s winter, you ski, snowshoe, or ice climb and when it’s summer you hike, fish, bike, or climb. But you are out in the natural world, benefiting from clean air, exertion, and the distance from daily
www.bozemanmagazine.com
worries that such retreats bring. Recently, the trails are often crowded with hikers, bikers, runners and backpackers, decreasing the solitude one desires when out in nature. It is a double-edged sword, because on one hand, it feels good to see people take to nature, enjoying the physical aspect of trail exertion and learning to love trees, rocks, plants, and animals. On the other hand, it’s a bit disconcerting to wonder if you’ll find a place to park at the trailhead, or if you’ll find any solitude at all, or have to share the trail with the conversation of those in front of you or behind you, getting stuck in a trail walk that puts you at the same speed as those in front or the party behind you. Conservation journalist Todd Wilkinson asks in a recent article in the Mountain Journal from August 7, 2020, “How is the blind promotion of more outdoor recreation on public lands, without knowing the cumulative effects, any different from the colonizing, destructive forces of Manifest Destiny?” Wilkinson goes on to talk about what he calls “the rise of ‘the outdoor recreation industrial complex’—a form of conspicuous consumption based on landscape use that is as impactful as traditional resource extraction and likely more permanent.” It brings more people to these beautiful areas, building new
housing, crowding public lands, and filling the trails with more residents and tourists, taking away more of the solitude we so crave in our nature excursions. Yet the beauty and access to the mountains is what has brought so many of us here in the first place, regardless of how long we have lived here. And having so many more people recognize and participate in outdoor recreation certainly helps build allies in our quest to preserve nature, control development, and save our public lands. This past summer, I spent a week backpacking along the Continental Divide trail, often running into through-hikers, that is, hikers who are walking the length of the trail from border to border. I quickly discovered that these through hikers were different in so many good ways. Interacting with them was to experience a community of like-minded people who were seeking wilderness experiences in solitude found in nature’s remote places. One cold February week a few years ago, I put on my skis and headed up into the Spanish Peaks with supplies for a couple nights out in the backcountry on my back. Around midnight, I woke up to the coyotes howling just outside my tent on a bright, cold moon-lit night. The snow was crisp and the sound of
the coyotes’ feet crunched in the snow as they trotted past my tent, yipping and barking to the full moon. I lay in my tent listening as they paused just a few feet from me, separated by a thin sheet of nylon, as they sniffed and yipped, before trotting on. As they moved on past my campsite, I raised the corner of my tent door enough to see their shadows playing out across the snow, moving shades in the brilliant light of the moon upon the crystal snow. It was a moment of peace, a moment of feeling the harmony of being part of the natural world. As I snuggled back down in my sleeping bag that night, I realized how much humans need nature, and need to know that feeling of being part of a larger ecosystem to be whole. As I drifted back to sleep I was reminded of the lines in the poem Peace by the 19th century English poet Bessie Rayner Parkes: All natural things both live and move In natural peace that is their own; Only in our disordered life Almost is she unknown. And the malignancy is in retreat. All is well in the world. m Kevin Brustuen lives in Bozeman and can be contacted at kbrustuen@hotmail.com. He is an avid theater-goer.

R E C R E AT I O N & H E A LT H One Woman’s Belief in
Bozeman’s Ability to Change Ruby Zitzer
T
here are countless reasons to live in Bozeman. For me, getting to live here has been a privilege. I have trails right out my front door, a community that supports me, and the opportunity to pick and choose what activity to do for the day. Many of us go through our daily lives unaware of the things people are experiencing outside of the bubbles that we create for ourselves. I recently sat down with a woman who is connected to many of the diverse communities that make up Bozeman. She strives in her work to create support for the diverse and historically underrepresented communities of Bozeman. Her name is Aja (“Asia”) Desmond. Aja grew up in Connecticut, but always had an unexplained desire to live in Montana. Even in high school, she had an email that was bound4montana@hotmail.com. She has always felt that she was meant to be here. Aja was told from a young age to hide her identity. Growing up, she was told to not tell people that she is Puerto Rican because “people don’t like Puerto Ricans.” This created a belief that part of her was bad or wrong. As she has unpacked her own relationship to white supremacy and racism, she realized that she had been enacting racism on the Latina part of her. She made a conscious decision to allow everything about her to be true and open. Once she came to terms with that understanding, she felt that the anti-oppression work she does was no longer optional. 24

As we sat at the park together, wearing masks, Aja reflected on the wisdom of James Baldwin saying, “people who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster.” I experienced Aja’s personality and work to reflect much of Baldwin’s words. She strives to keep this at the center of the work she does in her many roles in the community. Aja comes from a fine arts background, but quickly found her way back to a community-focused career after graduation . Working and supporting her community has always been Aja’s “heart work.” She feels it’s important for her to leverage her light-skinned privilege to increase the chances that people will hear what she has to say, specifically in predominantly white spaces. All of her work is aimed to benefit the communities she belongs to and cares deeply for. Although she knew little about Montana, she was intrigued by it and felt a consistent pull to it. Aja got the opportunity to move to Montana in 2008, through acceptance into a master’s program at University of Montana in Missoula. There she gained a master’s degree in Intercultural Youth and Family Development. After graduation, Aja moved to Livingston and worked as the executive director of Shift Youth Empowerment Programs. In 2017, she started work-
www.bozemanmagazine.com
ing in Bozeman and in the last year, Aja made the short move over the hill. Aja is currently the programs director at HAVEN, working and supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Aja started Level Equity Consultants, which focuses on creating space for people to learn and change how they think about race and inequity in their personal lives as well as in their workplaces. Aja also volunteers as the Vice President on the Board of Directors of Earthtone OutsideMT. Aja is just one person in Bozeman who is taking part in an ageold fight for equity and justice. She hopes to be able to help elevate long-silenced voices in any way she can by listening to other BIPOC leaders in the community and ultimately increase the right to belong for all historically marginalized communities in Bozeman. She believes this will create a safer, more open, and honest community. Earthtone Outside is a non-profit organization that is providing a safe and welcoming space and connection for people of color to get outside. Earthtone Outside is a group of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) aspiring to build a supportive and inclusive community to encourage Montanans of all sizes, abilities and backgrounds to get outside and enjoy all that Montana has to offer. Creating a strong community and safe space is the driving force behind the work of Earthtone Outside, serving approximately 140 current members. For Aja, she doesn’t only work for them, but
I know I have become more aware and tuned into the shifting tides of this town. I often find myself at a loss in the midst of the heated political climate, a global pandemic and the current events of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. I have the desire to get involved but often feel unsure of how to help. So, I asked Aja what simple ways people might get involved. Aja summed it up simply by saying, “Look inside. Get Honest. Get real. Listen to BIPOC voices and experiences with humility and curiosity and know the limitations of whiteness. Support and donate to local BIPOCowned businesses.” The community of Bozeman continues to flourish, shift, and adapt to more people, therefore needing to listen to more voices. It’s important that we welcome and change with those shifts. The community of Bozeman benefits from having Aja and people like her doing the heavy lifting for essential change. Bozeman is an amazing place to live and it’s important that we share its many pleasures with all the people who call it home. Z she has also found a home with Earthtone. Earthtone does a variety of programming throughout the year. They do ‘affinity hikes’ on Wednesdays that are open to their members and host other community events that are open to the public. They hope that these public opportunities allow space for a shared experience and love for outdoor spaces. Membership events are opportunities to share stories, support one another and enjoy the outdoors. They have picnics with food and live music, hikes on local trails, camping in Yellowstone and other events focused on enjoying the renewing opportunities that Bozeman offers. Earthtone Outside came into being because of a scary situation that one of the board members experienced. In 2017, one of Earthtone Outside’s founders posted on the Secret Bozeman Facebook page asking if there were any hiking groups for People of Color in town. There was a lot of backlash from the page followers, responding with negative, racist rhetoric. After that experience, it became clear that there needed to be a space for People of Color to feel safe while taking part in the bounty of local outdoor opportunities. Much of what Earthtone Outside tries to do is participate in the spaces that are typically ableist, white-centered spaces. They work on integrating more ethnicities into those spaces. Many organizations and businesses in town have rallied together to make Earthtone feel welcome and supported, including The Montana Racial Equity Project, Crosscut Mountain Sports Center and The Wilderness Society. Aja loves Montana and cares deeply for what Montana offers her and her communities. When asked what she wanted Bozeman to know from reading this article, Aja said, “I want Bozeman to know I
believe in its ability for equitable change.” She believes in the Bozeman communities’ ability to develop into a place that is more open to all people in all spaces. Aja thinks that it is important for Earthtone Outside to take up space in the places that many of us reflexively assume are white. In regard to this Aja said, “I think that the outdoor community in Bozeman, by design and primarily because of genocide, is white. I think that’s true for most outdoor spaces but especially in the west. If we can encourage folks to challenge their thought structures around the spaces that they are in, to have them start noticing when they are surrounded by only white people or other white-passing people and have them pause and understand that this is true by design. This isn’t just because it’s Montana, but because this is how Montana was built and designed to be. Noticing is a good start for creating a cultural shift that, at a minimum, leads to anyone who wants to be outside feeling welcome to do so. Earthtone Outside’s primary goal is to practice taking up space outside, together.” Aja believes that many of our actions stem from the deep wounds in our history. She strives to look at people’s resistance to equitable change through the lens of our country’s history with slavery and genocide. Aja wants Bozeman to know that grappling with the long-lasting effects of systems of oppression, such as white supremacy and colonialism, is deep, hard work. We cannot ever assume that we know someone’s identity, and we can’t make blanket assumptions because of the color of someone’s skin. Aja believes that to have a successful change in our community “we have to orient ourselves towards creating conditions of success for our most vulnerable. Then we all win.”

y name is Jodi. I am a registered nurse, wife, mother, and grandmother. I am 59 years old and was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer nearly 8 years ago. In 2012, I was experiencing a lingering cough and shortness of breath. I assumed it was nothing more than a seasonal cold as it was the middle of December. After going in for a checkup, taking a round of antibiotics and steroids prescribed to me, I continued having shortness of breath and a worsening cough. I went back for a second visit where a nurse practitioner listened to my lungs and was concerned with how my left lung sounded. A chest x-ray was ordered, which showed a large left pleural effusion. A diagnostic thoracentesis was performed that put me in the hospital for additional tests. After a day of tests, I received the diagnosis of Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that had spread to my pleura and around the heart. With knowledge from my experience as an oncology nurse in the early 80s, I knew the diagnosis was grim. The oncologist confirmed my feeling when he gave me the somber news of having less than a year to live. Despair, fear, confusion, and an immense feeling of hopelessness filled my head. My initial response was to decline any treatment and let nature take its course. The following day, I received a phone call from my friend/physician who was checking up on me. I shared my decision with him, and he replied with words I will never forget: “I hear what you’re saying, but I want you to listen to me. You’re otherwise a healthy individual, you have a loving and supporting family, your kids are in the prime of their life, and you have options.” It was this phone call that made me realize that my life was worth the fight. I’m forever grateful for my dear friend’s advice and for my decision to keep fighting, even with all of the road bumps along the way. During the first year of diagnosis, I experienced increasing fluid around my heart, which resulted in emergency surgery to drain the fluid that was creating pressure around the heart. Thirty months post diagnosis, the cancer had spread to my brain in the form of two tumors (one of them the size of a golf ball), which led to brain surgery to remove the large tumor. Surgery was followed by subsequent radiation and a change in my treatment plan (almost four years later I’m still on my same second-generation targeted therapy drug). Most recently, this year, I am dealing with new progression in my left lower lung where the cancer originated. This was treated with yet another round of radiation. My most recent scans showed an increased uptake, which was determined most likely to be an inflammatory response from the radiation and not a residual tumor. On a more joyful note, since my diagnosis, I have had three grandchildren that were born, attended my son’s wedding, traveled through Europe with another son, advocated for lung cancer in Washington DC, and recently moved to Montana to be closer to my daughter and her family. Daily, I have minor side effects from my medication but generally am able to live to my fullest potential. Along with those side effects are some anxieties that loom over me that I have learned to live with. One of those is the big question of “what’s next?” There are only five FDA approved targeted therapy drugs to treat my specific genetic ALK mutation. I have been on a 1st generation drug and am currently on a 2nd generation drug, which leaves me with one remaining (3rd generation) drug option if my medication stops working. When I was first diagnosed, there was only one FDA approved drug for my specific mutation, which shows how important research is for cancer patients and how far we have come. I hope that my journey will encourage others impacted by cancer, which is why I have partnered with GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer and Merck on a new initiative called
“Worth the Fight: Taking on Lung Cancer.” The program aims to empower people with advanced lung cancer (and their caregivers) to be an advocate in their cancer care and treatment plans. Through this initiative, my story has been able to reach a broader group of people, and I hope it brings some of them a little bit of hope. If I were to go back and tell myself one thing about my diagnosis, it would be that lung cancer is worth battling and progress is being made that will help along the way. I would assure myself that a prognosis is just a number and not a death sentence. If I were to give advice to someone experiencing cancer currently, it would be that you are not alone. Do not be afraid to reach out to family, friends, support groups, and advocacy groups (such as GO2 Foundation). Don’t delay. It may be easy to ignore bad news, but it’s important to not delay decisions. Most cases of lung cancer are not diagnosed until an advanced stage, when the prognosis is worse. Therefore, it is critical to have an informed discussion about which options might be right for you following diagnoses, especially during the pandemic. Finally, although I did not meet the criteria for lung cancer screening, I encourage anyone who does to get screening annually, so they have the best chance of catching lung cancer at an early stage. Life is worth fighting for, and we are all in this together.

Moving to Bozeman Montana?
Here Are 10 Things You Need to Know

ozeman is a special place. Those who are lucky enough to be natives have always known this. For the rest, it probably didn’t take long to realize. With so many things changing in the world right now, it is inevitable that Bozeman will continue to grow. Because we consider ourselves a welcoming bunch, we have 10 things newcomers should know when moving to Bozeman.
The growing pains are real Bozeman has been growing at a tremendous rate these past few years. As with any growth, especially when it happens fast, there are bound to be some hardships. Bozeman is feeling those growing pains. Those who live here bounce between welcoming the growth and resisting the change. There is more traffic and more crime. It’s harder to get a seat at your favorite restaurant. The rivers are getting crowded, and don’t get us started on the crowds up Hyalite. It can be tough, especially for anyone who has lived here for a long time. Everyone is trying to adjust to the growth, and we hope it continues in a positive direction.
Housing is expensive Growth generally goes hand-in-hand with an increase in housing prices. Finding affordable housing has been a hot topic in Bozeman for many years. New construction is booming, and bidding wars are becoming the norm. That, along with a lack of inventory can be discouraging for home buyers. The surrounding areas such as Belgrade, Manhattan, and Livingston are becoming great alternatives that are less expensive than Bozeman. We’re not just saying this because we’re a real estate office, but working with a realtor is the best way to have someone keeping an eye on a fast-moving market. Often, they know about homes before they are listed and can help frustrated buyers in this competitive Bozeman market.
It’s all fun and games until February Oh, the sweet summertime in Bozeman. Blue skies for days, warm temperatures, and nice cool evenings. Outdoor patios full of people soaking up the sunshine and the mountains are fully accessible to play in. Yep, summer here is pretty awesome. But, let’s talk about winter. It is the real deal around here. Winter usually starts in October and can drag on until May. The first snowflakes are fun and everyone (especially skiers!) gets excited for the valley to be covered in white. And then February hits and most of us are sufficiently sick of the cold and snow. It can get depressing. Our best advice is to invest in a good jacket and accept the fact that it will be months before you are warm again. The silver lining? Even on the coldest days, the sky is usually a brilliant blue and you can trick yourself into thinking it’s warmer than it is.
There are cowboys here but that does not mean you have to dress like one It’s Montana so of course there are real cowboys here. However, you aren’t likely to see them strolling down Main Street in their cowboy hat and boots. They’ll be busy in the fields or on the ranch. When Bozemanites see folks wandering downtown in cowboy gear, we’re going to assume you are a tourist.

We are friendly folks and we would like to keep it that way Bozeman used to be a small town. A place where you couldn’t go to the store without running into someone you know…an old friend, your third-grade teacher, your grandma. Things have changed as we’ve grown, but the heart of Bozeman is still the people. People who hold doors open for others, pick up trash when they see it, and give a wave to let someone into traffic at a busy intersection. We sure would like to keep it that way, so if you’ve moved from a big city where friendliness is not a thing, try to get on board quickly.
Get involved With over 60 meet-up groups in Bozeman, there are so many options to meet new friends. No matter what you are into, you are bound to find something that fits. MOMS Club of Belgrade/Bozeman, Mix and Mingle Singles and the Bozeman Outdoor Enthusiasts are great meet-up groups in Bozeman. Facebook also has a ton of communities and meet-up type groups and is worth looking into. Volunteering is one of our favorite ways to meet people and luckily there are so many fantastic non-profits to choose from in Bozeman. You get to help others in our community and make new friends. That’s a win-win for sure!
Pick some outdoor hobbies You probably didn’t move here because you love to be indoors. People move to Montana because they want to get out and enjoy all it has to offer. There may be a few people that just want to look at the mountains, but most want to play in them. If you aren’t already passionate about an outdoor hobby, dabble in a few to see what speaks to you. There are plenty to choose from…skiing, hunting, hiking, fishing, golfing, camping, biking, running, rock climbing, kayaking...the list goes on.
We take the local thing QUITE seriously Going local is the “cool” thing to do now, but Bozeman really means it. Sure, there are chain restaurants and stores that we all go to sometimes, however most try to support local whenever we can. Whether it’s buying produce from local growers at the Farmers Markets’ or choosing a neighborhood coffee shop over Starbucks, supporting local is really important here in Bozeman.
We love our pets A LOT It’s a dog’s world here in Bozeman. On top of the hundreds of miles of trails, a half dozen off-leash parks, and plenty of doggy daycares, we also have plenty of stores just for the pups where you can find locally made dog beds, toys, and organic treats. And since it is Bozeman, you should probably get a lab and name it Bridger...or Madison. We’re creative like that.
Slow down and enjoy it Bozeman is truly one of the last best places. Slow down, enjoy it, and remember why you moved here in the first place. Kate works at Bozeman Real Estate Group, a locally owned real estate company in Bozeman that is passionate about the community we live in. www.bozemanmagazine.com

When Craft Beer became hand sanitizer Lena Beck
T
he onset of the Covid-19 pandemic caused a surge in demand for hand sanitizer across Montana. As drugstore shelves were cleaned out and then sat empty, hospitals and front line workers were directly and perilously affected by the shortage. Enter craft distilleries. Six months ago, Montana’s local distillers came together to help supply first responders with critically needed hand sanitizer. Now, as flu season begins, some of these distilleries haven’t stopped. Ryan Montgomery is the owner of Montgomery Distillery. He is also one of Missoula’s craft distillers who started making hand sanitizer at the beginning of the pandemic. Montgomery Distillery is a “grain to glass” operation, making everything from whiskey to rye to aquavit. The Montana farm where Montgomery Distillery’s grains are grown has been in the Montgomery family for 90 years. According to Montgomery, the thought of making hand sanitizer had briefly crossed his mind in the past. Relatively speaking, there is a thin line between craft liquor and sanitizing alcohol. It wouldn’t be a stretch to make hand sanitizer, Montgomery said. But up until last March, the process was heavily regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). And so for Montgomery and others, it made more sense to stick with what they did best: making craft liquor. “We’re set up to make craft spirits,” said Montgomery. “And while we can make hand sanitizer, it’s kind of like using a Ferrari to mow your lawn. You probably can do it, but it’s not the most ideal.” That is until the pandemic hit. Suddenly, hand sanitizer was hard to find. To help with the shortage, the FDA relaxed its regulations on hand sanitizer. It granted distillers permission to make uncertified hand sanitizer as long as they followed a simplified recipe: alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, glycerin, and a denaturing agent-basically, something to make it not drinkable. “Once they did that, we started making it immediately,” Montgomery said. But not without help from one of their long-time Missoula neighbors. Big Sky Brewing donated 1,200 kegs of beer to the effort. A fixture of the Missoula community since the 1990s, Big Sky has become a prominent regional distributor, perhaps most famous for their “Moose Drool” brown ale.

www.bozemanmagazine.com
According to owner Bjorn Nabozney, once the pandemic hit, the demand for draft beer all but evaporated. Nabozney realized that the kegs he had on hand weren’t going to last. If he couldn’t find something to do with them, they would be wasted. “It was very painful,” said Nabozney. “We basically dumped a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of beer. But we got to do something good with it.” According to Nabozney, Big Sky Brewing’s local roots made donating the beer back to the community the most logical option. “This is part of who we are,” said Nabozney. “It’s part of our DNA.” Montgomery Distillery used the company’s craft distilling equipment to make hand sanitizer out of craft beer. Pre-pandemic, this farm-to-table level of assembly would have made the product very expensive. But the majority of the hand sanitizer was donated to first responders who were in critical need. The rest was sold or given to other members of the community. To help with packaging, the Montana Distiller’s Guild coordinated the distribution of small glass bottles with the dozen or so Montana distilleries making hand sanitizer. Montgomery Distillery did this for about three months, until hand sanitizer was back in stock at stores. But other Montana distillers haven’t ceased production just yet. Like many Montana distilleries, Bozeman Spirits Distillery donated the majority of hand sanitizer it made. “You had hospitals that couldn’t get ahold of it,” said Jim Harris, owner of Bozeman Spirits Distillery and president of the Montana Distiller’s Guild. “It gave our distillery purpose.” Bozeman Spirits Distillery is still producing sanitizer every month. Harris figures his distillery will keep at it until the FDA suspends its temporary relaxation on regulations. But according to Harris, it’s hard to predict what the future holds. The demand for hand sanitizer remains high, and as the weather gets colder and flu season begins, it very well may rise even more. “Wherever you go, you see restaurants, your pediatrician, any kind of office building has hand sanitizer out now,” said Harris. “Our plan is to keep it as a product, just because it seems like there’s a need for it.” b

Support OTHERS this November A Conversation with Fork and Spoon Head Chef Cassie Pfannenstiel

he holidays are approaching soon, a time to enjoy the company of those we love and eat lots of pie and turkey. It’s a time to reflect on our connections with others, those things that we are grateful for. It’s also a time to think about the needs of others in our community, who may not have the resources they need during the holidays. Especially with the pandemic continuing to affect so many aspects of our lives, it’s important to recognize the resources available for those of us who are struggling right now. Here in Bozeman, we have Fork and Spoon, Montana’s only pay what you can restaurant, serving affordable food made from locally sourced ingredients. I had a conversation with head chef Leah Smutko of Fork and Spoon about how they’ve been doing during the pandemic, what to expect as the holidays approach and what we can do to support others during these difficult times.

Especially right now, the numbers are a little bit higher. We’ve been running on a very lean staff to make sure that we are reducing contact. We unfortunately don’t have any volunteers coming in anymore, so we rely on three staff members in the building at any given time to get all the cooking, cleaning and the deliveries done. Our donations typically coincide with people sitting down and eating, coming in and volunteering or coming to fundraising events or doing catering - and all of those require big groups of people, so those unfortunately have dried up. We are now looking for other ways of engaging the community in a more individualistic sense and a more creative way, as opposed to just coming in and doing our normal volunteering system. CP: You mentioned that volunteering is not happening at the moment. What are the other ways that people can help support the restaurant? LS: We do still have people coming in on a one-person basis. They can come in and help us dishwash
www.bozemanmagazine.com
during the night because it’s only two staff members here trying to get the whole restaurant functioning. We’re also looking to figure out opportunities as the winter is coming for volunteers to provide a warming station, like bringing in hot cocoa, hand warmers, handing out hot tea - things that are minimal contact, if not no-contact. We know we can’t have the dining room open, especially when it’s cold out and that is very frustrating to a lot of people. It is a gesture that we can do, that’s hopefully going to uplift morale as much as it can. CP: Leading into the holidays, are there any special events to look forward to, especially for Thanksgiving coming up soon? LS: We actually do have quite a few that HRDC has been really adaptive for, which I think is fascinating. We have a take-andbake program that we’re partnering with Gallatin College for. They are helping us prototype these family-sized meals from Fork and Spoon, you bring them home with you, prepare them at your own leisure and then don’t have to come into the restaurant every single day. Our second one is our second annual Pie It Forward fundraiser; again, we’re partnering with Gallatin College and 175 pies are going to be available for sale. They’re all homemade, and they’ll be ready for people to pick up for Thanksgiving. Huffing for Stuffing (https:// runsignup.com/Race/MT/Bozeman/HuffingForStuffing2020Virtual) is still happening through the food bank; it is a virtual race at this point. They’re encouraging small groups of people to create their own teams, still participate in the run and go forth with what they were planning on doing, just not having a mass gathering. We are still hoping to do Thanksgiving dinner here at Fork and Spoon in a way that really celebrates the holiday. Moving into Christmas will also be coming up with some ways to make it special, ways to make Hanukkah special. We are figuring out a way that it can be celebrated with minimal contact. CP: Are you planning on opening up the dining room for those types of events, how is that going to look? LS: We don’t think so yet. Based off the caseload and the trends of the spread right now, it is an extremely high risk to staff a dining room of this size with unique individuals coming in. Plus, there are groups of customers coming in that are exposed to the elements and probably have a more vulnerable immune system. We are tossing around ideas for seeing how we can make it an outdoor event depending on the weather, of course, figuring out ways that we can maybe increase hours to serve the same amount of people but over a spread amount of time. Nothing is really set in stone, but we are brainstorming constantly
to figure out how we can still make these events something that people want to participate in and feel like the holidays are something to look forward to this year. CP: Have you had any issues with sourcing local ingredients? LS: Actually, no. I am so stoked on that, to be honest. A lot of the farms in the area have adapted at an incredible pace where they’re doing online ordering, no contact drop-offs or no contact pick-ups. A pandemic doesn’t affect your soil, basically. And that is a true testament to the sustainability of agriculture; it’s just going to keep on trucking. And I’m really fortunate that the farms in the area are willing to work with us on a limited budget and for excess product. And just making it work so that we can get good food, nutritious food and local food out to the people that don’t have as much access to it. CP: In your position as the head chef, how has the pandemic affected you personally? LS: Obviously, it’s a lot quieter. I see my volunteers, but I don’t get to see as many of my customers anymore, so that morale aspect of it is a little bit lower. It was really nice being able to walk out into the dining room, sit with somebody, see how their day’s going and get to know what’s going on with their life at that moment. It used to be a very homey and community-oriented space; there’s definitely that tension of standing far back from each other or not seeing each other at all. We’ve also taken some budget cuts here, so my program director and I have decided to allocate some of our hours elsewhere to ensure that we can help other programs that maybe have furloughed staff and alleviate the Fork and Spoon budget a
bit more. It’s different for sure. I’m excited to see what types of adaptations can happen for those take and bake meals, for meals that can be ready later. Or how can we make to-go meals efficient and low waste as well ecofriendly as much as possible. CP: Is there anything else you’d like people to know? LS: Mostly what I want people to know is that Fork and Spoon is still functioning, still thriving and still feeding people in every way that we possibly can. We just don’t want people to forget about us. And if anybody has ideas for how they want to be engaged with Fork and Spoon in a way that doesn’t involve actually coming into the restaurant, then I would be thrilled to have those contacts. Z

How Wildfires Can Benefit Montana’s Birds
B
efore it’s over, this year’s fire season will devour a record number of forest acreage across the West. This year, Montana has largely been spared, excluding the residents of Bozeman’s Brider canyon, and as residents of the state have seen in the past, the Rocky Mountains can burn too. Researchers across the state have spent decades studying what happens after these wildfires and it has become increasingly clear that while they can be devastating, they are also a bringer of life. Dick Hutto, a fire and avian ecologist and professor emeritus of biological sciences at the University of Montana, has spent his career studying the burned forests of Montana’s Rocky Mountains and the many bird species that call them home. By monitoring and counting birds in different types of forests, he has shown that many birds can be found more frequently in burned forests than in unburned forests. While at first glance, a stand of charcoaled trees may seem devoid of all life, Hutto explained, many native bird species rely on these burned forests for food and nesting habitat. “Disturbance is a part of the system, just as much as rainfall and sunlight,” said Hutto. Some bird species prefer to live in freshly burned forests while others wait a few years before showing up. Still, others prefer old and mature forests, but nonetheless, “everything likes some age [of forest] after fire,” said Hutto. Hutto explained that Montana’s Rockies typically experience high-severity fires, which will be seen in the forest every few hundred years and will burn hot and high into the forest canopy, leaving behind no green vegetation. But researchers have shown that these burned forests begin the process of regrowth almost immediately. With a now clear view of the sky, lodgepole pine seedlings, fireweed, bunchgrasses and numerous other plant species burst from the forest floor and begin the work of creating the forest anew. The rapid regrowth of plant life occurs within the first year following a fire and the new plants provide insects with ample habitat, which in turn attracts species of insect-eating birds. Species including the black-backed woodpecker, Lewis’s woodpecker, mountain bluebird and tree swallow can all be found in abundance in the years following these high-severity fires. Yet, after decades of studying burned forests, researchers have learned that of all these species, the black-backed woodpecker has perhaps the most unique relationship with fire, living almost exclusively in forests that have been burned in the past few years. These woodpeckers will be one of the first birds to arrive after a high-severity forest fire and arrive seeking species of wood-boring beetles and bark beetles, said Hutto. The beetles, drawn in by the heat from the fire itself, offer a plentiful and nutritious food source for the woodpecker. The beetles will lay their larvae in the bark of burned trees, which the black-backed woodpeckers, armed with

their strong needle-point beak and long tongue, are able to extract. Vicki Saab, a research wildlife biologist at the Forest Service’s Rocky Mountain Research Station said that black-backed and other species of woodpeckers are what scientists call, keystone species, meaning other species rely on them in some way. Saab explained that the black-backed woodpeckers nest in holes that they carve out of tree trunks. The charred bark and compromised wood of the burned trees also make for a much easier time excavating holes big enough for the woodpeckers to lay their eggs inside and rear their young. These holes are often used later by other forest species including small owls, flying squirrels and many others. By creating holes that other species can use, the woodpeckers are providing a service that is essential to maintaining a healthy forest, said Saab. Since 1994, Saab has been studying how large-scale disturbances like fire can influence bird distributions in mixed conifer forests including those in Montana’s Rockies. Saab said that the forest service has spent a long time trying to understand these relationships so that they can better manage the forests.

Research like Saab’s and Hutto’s has contributed to a much better understanding of the black-backed woodpecker’s dependence on recently burned forests. Hutto also said that the reason for the woodpecker’s black back is that it can blend in with the charcoaled trees, which can help to keep it safe and hidden from the eyes of predators. Phil Higuera, an associate professor of fire ecology at the University of Montana said that this is evidence for a longstanding relationship between this species and forests that burn at highseverity. Higuera’s research of charcoal deposits in forest lakes has shown that fires have moved through these mountains since about 14,000-15,000 years ago, when the ice that covered North America at the time receded. Yet, Higuera said that forest fires are even older than that. “As long as there has been vegetation, there has been fire,” which takes us back about 420 million years into Earth’s history. With a long history of fire in these forests, the black-backed woodpecker has been able to take advantage of the unique habitats that can be created only by this ancient natural disturbance. However, as most scientists who have studied fires and fire ecology will point out, climate change has been complicating these relationships between the forest and wildlife. Higuera said that as fires become increasingly frequent and more severe, forests in some parts of the west are having a harder time regenerating, which is going to have cascading negative consequences on forest-dependent species. Through their continued research, scientists like Higuera are seeking to deepen their understanding of fire’s role on the landscape in order to inform better decisions about how we manage forests and our communities to stay safe and maintain ecological stability. For now, it can be a comfort to know that while wildfires seem to be a frightening and new phenomenon, other species that we share the planet with have already successfully learned to live with fire. “The fact that this bird [black-backed woodpecker] chooses these environments indicates that [fires] are not something new to this century,” said Higuera.

The Multiple Counter Offers Tim Ford – Real Estate Broker
L
ast month, I wrote about how buyers can try to be competitive in multiple offer scenarios. As we continue to see new listings generating multiple offers, we’re also seeing an increase in the use of the multiple counter offer form. This form or process can be new to many buyers and sellers and is worth discussing. If a seller receives multiple offers for their property, they have a few options. They can pick their favorite offer from the group of offers, sign it and be done. They can also pick their favorite offer from the group and make a counter offer to just one particular buyer. Or, they can make a mul-
40
November 2020
tiple counter to more than one buyer. The multiple counter offer form used by REALTORS® in the Bozeman area is a specific form and differs from the standard counter offer form in that in order for it to be a binding agreement between buyer and seller, the seller needs to sign it twice. Let’s go through a quick example. A seller receives 6 offers on their property. Of the 6 offers, there are 3 that stand out to the seller and they decide to do a multiple counter to just those 3. They send out the multiple counter to the 3 buyers. Two of those 3 decide to accept the seller’s counter offer and sign the multiple counter form and send back to the seller. In order for the multiple counter to be a binding contract, the seller at this point will decide which of the 2 multiple counters they want to accept. They will then sign it a second time, deliver to the buyers, and they will have an accepted contract. The multiple counters sent out to different buyers by the seller do not need to have the same terms. Perhaps some dates, terms, or contingencies make one offer more or less attractive than another and therefore the seller may be willing to accept more or less from one buyer versus another. Buyers that receive a multiple counter have a few options. If they really want the house or property, they can actually make a counter to the multiple counter and increase the attractiveness of their offer in order to try to be the successful buyer. They could also counter less than the amount of the multiple counter, or decide to sit it out, or reiterate their original offer was their highest and best. The last 3 options have a lower likelihood of securing the contract for the property. It seems that personalities often dictate which response a seller will choose in a multiple offer scenario. Some enjoy the multiple counter process while others prefer a simpler approach. When getting involved in a multiple offer scenario, buyers should be aware the seller is under no obligation to include all buyers in a multiple counter. Therefore, buyers should really put their best offer forward as they

may not have an opportunity to increase or improve it. As usual, I have included the latest Real Estate statistics. The Real Estate market has stayed busy into the fall as prices have continued upwards. In addition to these closed transactions, another 191 home sales are currently pending or under contract as of the date of writing, which compares to 144 home sales pending this time last year. The included data reflects sales of homes in the greater Bozeman area, including Four Corners, Gallatin Gateway, Bridger Canyon, and Bozeman city limits.
