Editor’s Note

Change is in the air Angie Ripple

S

o much newness has hit our community, state, nation and world over the past few months my head is spinning. Bozeman is growing at record rates, MSU enrollment is at an all time high, travel to Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport has increased 52% in seven years. Bozeman’s population is easily outpacing other cities in the state, and Gallatin Co. is among the fastest-growing counties in the nation. 4.2% growth is okay as long as we can sustain services, housing, jobs and infrastructure to keep up.

Montana’s lone member of the House Rep. Ryan Zinke’s confirmation for Interior Secretary has been postponed for an undetermined reason and amount of time. Assuming he will be confirmed Montana’s Democratic and Republican parties are preparing for a special election to replace him as congressman, with a vote likely to take place this May. If confirmed Zinke makes the transition from making decisions for Montana and the nation into decisions that can effect the globe. His replacement in the House is an important piece to our states puzzle.

Bozemanites aren’t going to reverse or affect what the 45th President of the United States says or does, but we can make change in our own ways.

Maybe you like what’s happening in Washington, but still would like to be a part of something in your community. Here are a few ways to affect change as a Bozemanite: 1. Attend a City Commission Meeting. Every Monday at 6:00 PM the Bozeman City Commission meets at City Hall - Commission Room, 121 N. Rouse Ave. Resolutions and Ordinances are discussed, voted upon and public comments are heard pertaining to them. Commission Meeting agendas are available at http://www. bozeman.net 2. Join a citizen advisory board. You can help shape the future of Bozeman by joining a citizen advisory board, and voicing your opinions about a topic you care deeply about (there are many to choose from). Please note: Citizen advisory boards are generally only open to those residing within the Bozeman city limits. For more

information contact the City Clerk’s office via email at agenda@bozeman.net or by calling 582-2320.

3. Join a County board. The Gallatin County Commissioners are currently seeking individuals to represent the County on a large number of boards including the Historic Preservation Board of Gallatin County, DUI Task Force, Board of Health, Belgrade City/County Planning Board and more.

Visit http://gallatincomt.virtualtownhall.net/public_ documents/gallatincomt_bboard/boardvacancies or call 406-582-3000 for more information.

4. Volunteer. This is the easiest and most effective way to affect change in our community!

Choose a cause you feel strongly about and get involved in helping out. The Bozeman Area Community Foundation is a great place to start. The community foundation supports all areas of the community – arts and culture, education, health and human services, recreation and civic affairs and is a great resource to connect you to a nonprofit

that fits your ideals. Volunteer Match is another great resource to help you find a volunteer opportunity go to http://www.volunteermatch.org/ and see opportunities you can participate in person or remotely.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world.

Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

What’s Your Beef?

The House Sale Jerry Schuster

Q

uick flashback, since it has been awhile. My wife Theresa and I moved from Wolf Point to Bozeman in 2013 for retirement or something like that; just don’t recall now. It didn’t take long for us to start to notice some very substantial differences between ”Old Town,” being Wolf Point, and ”New Town,” being Bozeman.

One of the most striking differences is the real estate market in each community. Since you have been rather indolent in your own investigation into this important matter, I will provide an adroit tutorial herein. Just imagine listening in on a discussion between a Realtor and Joe, who is married to Sally.

They are the sellers of a nice, three bedroom, three bath house in a good neighborhood, close to schools in Old Town…

Sally: Sounds good. We’ll start there. We can always throw in the washer and dryer, big freezer loaded with deer meat and that nice bunch of walleye we caught at Fort Peck this year, dining room set, lawn and garden tractor and shop tools to seal the deal.

Joe: Yea, we’re ready to sell now, sure been a good home, but we are heading to the land with the big bumps on it to enjoy during our retirement years. Maybe learn some new things at the University and do some hiking and skiing.

Realtor: Nice doing business with you and Sally. I’ll send over the sale papers, no need to read all three pages, it’s pretty boring. Bottom line is you will get $65,000 cash at closing, less the usual closing costs.

(They shake hands to indicate their agreement on the deal.)

Realtor: Those Bridgers are awesome for sure. Heard the traffic is bad though. Too many old duffers like you moving in Joe; the locals don’t like it. Joe, we will miss you at Thursday night bowling, but I hear Tom wants on our team when you drop. School Board will sure miss Sally, she really could give um’ hell.

Joe: So, we are asking $85,000, does that sound a little high?

Realtor: A bit, let’s go with $65,000.

No need to stage; just tidy it up a bit.

Realtor: Had a call from a teacher and her family moving here from the North Dakota oil patch. Slow down in the Bakken, you know. I’ll give her a call…(minutes later, Realtor has finished making call...) They’ll take it; Joe, clean those gutters, looks like about ten years worth in there.

Joe: Have never cleaned them in 40 years and won’t start now. We should have the buyers over for brunch on Saturday; Sally’s famous biscuits and gravy. Scratch, you know.

Road, so you won’t be far from those big box stores where folks like you usually shop. Super deal, listed at just $567,000.

Joe : Say what %&#@??? We’ve moved from Wolf Point in eastern Montana. With our house sale proceeds and life savings, we have about $250,000 to spend on housing.

Thought we could get into something real nice for that money.

Realtor (looking dumbfounded): That price point? Wow! Where are you folks from? Let’s take another look (Realtor clicks on computer for 45 minutes). Here’s a one bedroom, one bath, needs some work, located 15 miles north of Three Forks. Asking $350,000; has a half acre yard which

you folks could convert to a garden.

Joe: Anything a little closer in? We don’t want to spend our retirement years on the highways.

Realtor: At your price point? Ha ha ha, Sir, you are very funny!

Bozeman, some three months later…

Joe and Sally and Sellers and their Realtor, lawyers, personal life coaches, financial and spiritual advisors, therapists and accountants are looking at a modest house on Willson; a fixer upper, two bedroom, 2 bath, listed at $525,000. The rumor is circulating that sellers are “motivated” since they have to move quickly, and they might take $524,900. continued on p 34

Some months later in Bozeman, discussion between Joe and Sally as buyers and Realtor representing sellers in a booming real estate market: Realtor: Okay, folks, we have a great selection of houses available here, and I have carefully reviewed the 86 page profile we asked you to fill out to indicate what you would like to have in a Bozeman area house. Now, (looking at computer screen), here is a nice little house for you. Two bedroom and one and a half baths, located near Durston

Living the Dream Seth Ward

T

en years ago my family hit the Bozeman apartment jackpot. Some good friends were renting part of a house downtown, and put a word in for us when the other apartment came open. We jumped at the chance. Pets were welcome, parking was off-street, and utilities were included.

We walk everywhere: to school, to work, to the store. It’s only half-joking when we “practice” visiting Heeb’s ONLY once a day to prepare for their six block move.

And did I mention the backyard?

It stretches out forever. If the afterlife is anything like what’s promised, mine will involve many lifetimes of sitting out in that backyard through long July evenings with my family and friends. The whole thing will be potluck, and you’re invited too.

Back when we moved in, this was at the fringe of downtown; the blight. It took a paragraph to give directions to our place. In the time since, libraries and businesses have grown from polluted lots and empty warehouses. Extra homes and offices are filling up some of the backyards, and it’s all tied together with trails and parks and streams.

And suddenly, there’s a whole lot going on. The number of software startups, adventure travel companies, sushi restaurants, and street parties just out our door would give any like-sized big city neighborhood a run for its money.

Now I give directions by referencing any number of hip establishments up the street, and everyone knows the neighborhood.

What a place for our daughter to grow up! To be in the middle of so much exciting change, all framed in by wild mountains which I can, most of the time, still see between the buildings. Your mileage may vary, but from our spot in the lawn chairs the whole thing has been a sort of dream.

But all dreams fade. You can’t tell a story like this and not expect the word to get out. Next year, capital-D Downtown will overtake our fringe. A couple houses and a small business will become a couple larger businesses and some condos. There may or may not be a rooftop patio involved. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

This time around all the tickets for the jackpot are bought up. For us, this move means being farther out, more driving, and less variety in our routine.

The rent will go up, the size of our garden will go down.

I should be on defense. Maybe start a Facebook page with a hyperbolic name and get a few people fired up about the injustice. Maybe start being a jerk to tourists to tarnish Bozeman’s reputation. Praying for just a hiccup from

8 February 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

our friendly neighborhood super-volcano to get us off all those magazine top ten lists.

But the thing is, I support tasteful infill in Bozeman. I’m happy to live in a growing, vital town. It’s possible I may have carried on and on about it over the years. I know the developer and have cause to believe them when they say it’s a good fit for the location.

And honestly, we expected this five years ago. You might hear sighs as we move on, but no complaints.

That’s not to say we’re going away quietly. No one affected by Bozeman’s growth can afford to be quiet now. Affordable housing, livable neighborhoods and functional transportation are complicated topics in a growing town. While we were dreaming, these issues continued to be very real, and we wake up to find our options are very different.

For years, it may have seemed like enough to complain about change in Bozeman. Enough to wish it away, or escape in the evenings down a quiet subdivision road. Enough to invoke your sainted first-generation greatgreat grandparents and what they would have thought of all of this.

We’re past all that now. Great-grandpa wants us to rise to the challenge ourselves. Bozeman will continue to grow, probably faster than we’re comfortable with. This means being honest that fighting infill for its own sake means even more open space lost in the valley. But at the same time, building a 4-story condo right outside someone’s bathroom window is a jerk move no matter the zoning. It means acknowledging that having all new development to mimic downtown makes exactly zero sense to anyone who ever actually leaves downtown. It means being honest that every sort-of-legal VRBO is just another space not occupied by the type of eccentric working class outdoors fanatic that helped make Bozeman cool in the first place.

The “most liveable place” is a worthwhile goal. Its success or failure depends on honest participation from all of us. Not just the developers, not just the mayor, not just the Californians. Your dream of Bozeman will only come to be if you help create it, and likewise with mine. There will be compromises and celebrations for all of us along the way. I’m looking forward to this new conversation. We’ve got a lot to talk about. z Seth is a first-generation Montanan, navigating fatherhood, marriage, business and downtown life (on a budget) in the New West.

Living Local Urban Growth:

Maintaining A Vibrant Downtown Andy Holloran

M

y wife and I, and our three sons, have lived in Bozeman for over five years. When we “found” this incredibly special place (just like you did), we immediately looked for a house close to downtown.

Why? Because we are big fans of walkable, dense, urban cores, which we believe offer the best chance of mitigating sprawl, decreasing traffic, slowing growth on open land, and perhaps most important, ensuring the survival and vibrancy of downtowns. Turns out, we’re not the only ones who feel this way. As Bozeman grows, there has been more and more discussion about how we grow, and in what direction… up? Out? How? Where? What’s the path forward, given that recent studies show that population growth here is inevitable, and shows no signs of slowing?

In our view, the path is fairly straightforward. 1) We value following a process and abiding by rules set out by governments which reflect citizen input. 2) We believe because saving farmland and protecting open space is a high priority for people in this valley, the more dense we can make the urban core, the fewer fields we plow up. 3) We know reduced carbon emissions make for a healthier planet and person, and if people are able to live in a place that is more walkable, they will use their cars less often. 4) We know that market research shows millennials, in particular, as well as others, want to live in down-

towns. They’re looking for walkable, healthy, vibrant, attractive places to both live and work. 5) We understand a key to maintaining vibrancy in downtowns is allowing taller buildings and not instituting unreasonable height restrictions.

Some may disagree with the last point. But a recent article in High Country News, titled “How to Fix Exclusive Resort Towns” notes that “… opposing density and height under the guise of historical preservation and environmentalism is what created Aspen’s West End, where empty single-family mansions surround empty parks. It’s literally a museum of an old mining town. Has this neighborhood been “saved”? Bozeman has numerous historic districts within and near downtown and we believe these districts should be protected. However, areas outside these historic districts in the core are and should continue to be zoned for the highest density.

With these goals and current market conditions in mind, our development group, HomeBase, has developed numerous projects in Bozeman’s core, including Block M, the Element by Westin Hotel and 5 West, a mixed use office and residential complex. In addition, we recently submitted plans for a five story, well-appointed residential building in the core. The building is not adjacent to a zoning boundary, does not lie within a historic district, and meets or exceeds all existing codes and guidelines. Having listened to neighbors in the area who were concerned about the height of the building, the project will be 40% smaller than what is allowed, and will include a neighborhood coffee shop, as well as a fitness center for residents. To address potential concerns about parking, as well as increased traffic, and in the spirit of working to reduce emissions, we’re also pioneering the concept of car sharing. Our residents will have the option of renting cars garaged on the property by the hour, and if available, we’ll open the car sharing program to neighbors as well.

One of the joys of living in a community like Bozeman is that we, as part of the community, have input into city and county affairs. There has always been an opportunity for citizens to weigh in at any time. No resident needs to wait for a meeting or a formal process to be announced. Our city and county governments have been judicious in providing avenues for public participation in process. The 2009 Downtown Plan is in the process of being updated (contact the Downtown Business Partnership for more information). Additionally, the City is just now finishing an update of the Universal Development Codes as well as a Strategic Plan reflecting “what we want to be when we grow up.” So if you’re inclined, it’s easy to get involved as our City and County Commissioners are accessible and available.

Most of us who live here choose to do so. We love this town, and are understandably concerned when rapid change makes us feel as if we have no control over what takes place in our environment. But we do have, and have had, opportunities to voice our interests and concerns. That’s why our codes, our tax districts, our zoning and our growth plans exist at all. Developers and

Sun Sign Horoscopes real estate professionals don’t make stuff up on the fly, or operate outside of what citizens have already decided upon. We all live under rules that someone or some group or some government has, at some point, created, developed and passed. We, like most developers, are big fans of process, consistency and predictability No developer of infrastructure is a hero, nor are they necessarily visionaries. Every building and project in every community is simply the result of someone who has seen a need, studied the market, understood the rules and codes, considered the context and then - taken a risk. Every restaurant we enjoy, every bank we use, every grocery store we patronize, all are the result of someone who has taken a risk. Some projects succeed, others fail. There’s no guarantee, even here, where we see businesses and housing projects fail at times. And yes, of course, builders and developers hope for profit. Just like each and every one of us who operates a business or earns a paycheck.

We won’t be able to stop people from moving here, nor should we.

And whether or not you arrived 20 years ago, 10 years ago or last week, you have to be glad no one stopped you (and to be sure, no or slow growth conversations and a “shut the door behind us” mentality have existed here for decades!) But we can steer more people off of farmland and into the urban core, for as long as possible, by providing ample opportunities for them to live in. We know this is a particularly attractive option for empty nesters, older retirees and young millennials alike.

We love this town, we live where we build, and we look forward to further participation in the city’s future deliberations in relation to growth.

Our door at 20 North Tracy is always open. Please stop by. a

The Story of the Bozeman City Hall / Opera House in Three Acts Cindy Shearer

I

f you can find a quiet time to sit in the little park on the southwest corner of Main and Rouse in Downtown Bozeman, and if you listen close enough, you might hear soft echoes from the past--jail cells clanging closed, fire bells ringing and quite possibly the sounds of the Queen City Band from the opening night of The Bozeman Opera House on September 19, 1890.

For more than seventy-five years a massive, ornate brick, stone, and cast iron building was the headquarters for the city administration for Bozeman.

The big fire engines were housed in one section of the lower floor with firemen’s quarters above and the traditional brass pole at the side. In the other half of the building were offices for city administrators with a long hall leading back to the jail cells and janitor’s quarters. The second floor housed the police headquarters and a large courtroom and from there a small door opened to the grandeur of a 900 seat auditorium, The Bozeman Opera House.

An interesting concept of combined use for city business and community civic space, one could imagine a desire to present a united community to travelers and citizens alike as the planning for this structure actually predates Montana’s statehood.

Act One-One Man’s Dream Becomes a Community Treasure Planning for the city hall began in 1887. In April of 1887, John Bogert was elected mayor and at the same time a $10,000 bond was approved to finance a

12 February 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

new city hall.

Architect Byron Veerland spent three weeks planning the structure and, once completed, the plans for the new city hall had grown to include an opera house to occupy the majority of the second floor. Veerland explained that while the structure would look like a three-story building from the outside, the inside height of the second floor would accommodate the opera house auditorium and balcony.

Despite continuing troubles with bids and more bond issues, the cornerstone was dedicated on July 4, 1888.

Mayor Bogert loved a grand celebration and the Fourth of July was the perfect timing for his pet project’s public dedication. With the Territorial Governor Preston H. Lesley in attendance, the procession was headed up by a marching band in glimmering new uniforms; from the end of Main Street they marched to Broadway and then retraced their march to the city hall/opera house site. The Avant Courier reported that following Governor Lesley and Mayor Bogert, the procession included the City Council, distinguished citizens, dismounted militia and three fire companies with the hose company handsomely arrayed in velvet-trimmed jackets. Last but not least Mr. Slusser and Mr. Henke, who manufactured cigars, threw cigars into the crowd.

With the large crowd now assembled at the corner of Rouse and Main, W. W. Alderson (publisher of the local newspaper the Avant Courier) delivered a speech reviewing the notable events in the development of the town followed

by Mayor Bogert describing the history of the city hall, saying in part, “This

building is the election of our people—by a vote of more than 11 to 1, the ordinance permitting it was adopted at the polls—and though trouble and delay have followed, yet its foundation is completed, and as we lay this cornerstone I know I may declare that, no matter what the opposition, the will of the people must prevail and this build shall at last become our City Hall.”

With that said he placed a metal box to serve as a time capsule and stated “I now declared this cornerstone laid; in the name of the people of Bozeman, dedicate this structure to the uses of the city forever.”

The project was fraught with more financial trouble but the citizens wanted their city hall/opera house and voted in favor of additional bond levies.

In September 1890 the fire department moved in, hanging the fire alarm bell in the bell tower and the fire engine moved into its quarters with the horses stabled nearby. City officials furnished their rooms and rented out others. The city police department found a home here and provided a few cells to house “guests” and the hum of city business remained constant for the next three quarters of a century.

Act Two-The Bozeman Opera House Becomes the Focal Point of Bozeman’s Cultural Life Three years and 10 days after the original plans were accepted, the Bozeman Opera House opened with a grand concert by the Queen City Band, a group of local musicians. The proceeds from this concert provided scenery and curtains for the stage.

The first performance by an out-of-town group took place on October 13, 1890, featuring the Mendelssohn Quintet Club of Boston sponsored by the Volunteer Fire Department. The Avant Courier described it as a rare treat for lovers of good music and said of the opera house, “It is without a doubt as handsome as any in the state. The curtain is a beautiful piece of art, representing a Venetian scene, and the scenery and stage furniture are very handsome.”

Drama, music, and political rallies were not the only features in the early days of the hall. The seats were removable, and on January 16, 1891, a promenade concert by the opera house orchestra was followed by dancing on the parquet.

In March of 1891 the new Bozeman Hotel, located across the street from the city hall/opera house had its grand opening. The hotel received free use of the auditorium for the occasion, plus permission to build a footbridge from the second floor of the hotel across Main Street to the opera house. Orchestras furnished music for dancing there and in the hotel, with guests moving freely between the two builds over the bridge. Unfortunately the bridge was removed immediately afterwards but the calendar of events for the Bozeman Opera House continued to grow.

During the next couple of years Bozeman became known as a “show town”, located on the Northern Pacific Railway between Minneapolis and Seattle with large nationally renowned acts stopping to perform for the citizens of the valley. The panic of 1893 hit Bozeman hard as banks closed and unemployment mounted. The number of road shows dropped sharply, and for a time the opera house was often dark. But the next year the lack of professional shows was counteracted by local people who put on a series of concerts, minstrel shows and plays yet again providing cultural and social activities for a town that had grown accustomed to the finer things most towns of similar size at this time were lacking.

On March 19, 1898 the Bozeman Opera House, just eight years old, was ridiculed on her own stage when traveling acclaimed actor Frederick Warde gave a curtain speech incensed that the dressing room ceilings were only 5 ½ feet high, and annoyed because the stage roof was not raised enough to permit the use of modern scenery.

Mr. Warde’s speech spurred the city administration to refer the matter to the Committee on Public Buildings and eventually it recommended that “a new roof be placed on the city hall building and that the building be painted and several of its rooms calcimined. That the foundation of the building be repaired, that the roof be raised over the stage, that the floors of the dressing

room be lowered and that a room be built in which to store scenery.”

This decision forever changed the outside appearance of the majestic building as Helena Architect C. S. Haire prepared plans to put on a flat roof by building up the outside walls fifteen feet higher. To give the illusion of a third story, windows lighting an unreachable pseudo-attic were installed in the raised wall. The contract was awarded in the amount of $5633.00 and construction began in September 1898.

Traveling shows continued to stop in Bozeman and the auditorium served as a civic center as well as theater, and each election year provoked an eruption of political bookings. In 1899 the opera house purchased a moving picture machine, and on July 3 showed the SharkeyMcCoy fight, plus scenes from the Spanish-American War. In 1903 the building was rewired and in 1905 the population of town had reached 5000 and saw a peak of shows including vaudeville shows, minstrel shows and finally a cat and dog circus which presented Funny Folks.

But competition from the movie houses called electric theatres brought changes. The Gem theater opened in 1908, and to compete, movies were being shown in the opera house in the intervals between live shows. With fewer road shows and improvements needed the city took over direct control of the opera house in 1914. City clerk, Carl A. Spieth, oversaw the auditorium’s remodel that included removal of the continued on p31 BozemanMagazine.com February 2017 13

& Passionate Plane Rides Kris Drummond, photos: Thayer Janes

T

he tectonic plates of the society we’ve long known are shifting; low, lethargic rumbles, nearly imperceptible, yet capable of tearing continents apart.

The security we think we have doesn’t seem so certain; the question mark of the future looms ever larger, even in the cataracted eye of the cultural

mind.

Living to achieve “security” has been the ostensible goal of the American Dream since, arguably, the Great Depression. Panicked ambition in the guise of capitalism is the undertone of our national mood. Turn to any of the “financial channels” and listen to the urgent voices of the anchors. Ticker indexes bounce around the screen and commercials fill the empty space. And all of it carrying an unheard, ever-present whisper: “Work faster, longer, better, and maybe the swimming pool will be yours. The 401K. The long-awaited and hard-earned rest.”

It’s a nice dream. And one that came true for some--maybe even most--people for a solid two generations. But like everything else right now, that dream is transforming.

I guess that’s a nice way of putting it. More accurately, that dream is dying. My generation will never see social security, retirement plans…hell we might not even have a habitable planet when it comes time to build the dream home. And while it’s an uncomfortable truth, it gets more obvious every day. A recent news report detailing a potential 7 degree Celsius rise in global temperature carries the great irony of being published while a man who wants to dismantle the EPA has just taken the wheel of the country. Seven degrees isn’t “sea-level rise.” It’s the end of our species. And when the word “trillion” follows a two digit number in reference to the national debt, it becomes clear that the amount of made-up money propping up our system is beyond anyone’s comprehension or control. Soon the financial algorithms that dictate an abstracted society will catch up to themselves.

While inflation has steadily increased, “the average salary for people ages 18-35 has gone from $36,000 in 1992 to $33,000 now, and it’s only getting lower.” says Susie Moore for Business Insider UK. A bachelor’s degree doesn’t really mean anything anymore, and the debt incurred to get one hardly justifies the end result.

Outside of a narrow band of culturally-defined career paths like medicine or engi14 February 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

neering, employment in the modern world is a crap shoot.

This quote from Rutgers professor James Livingston sums it up pretty nicely: “These days, everybody from Left to Right – from the economist Dean Baker to the social scientist Arthur C Brooks, from Bernie Sanders to Donald Trump – addresses this breakdown of the labour market by advocating ‘full employment’, as if having a job is self-evidently a good thing, no matter how dangerous, demanding or demeaning it is. But ‘full employment’ is not the way to restore our faith in hard work, or in playing by the rules, or in whatever else sounds good. The official unemployment rate in the United States is already below 6 per cent, which is pretty close to what economists used to call ‘full employment’, but income inequality hasn’t changed a bit. Shitty jobs for everyone won’t solve any social problems we now face.”

I guess what I and so many others are saying is there’s no Valhalla of “security” at the end of the career tunnel. Not for much longer, anyway. Many are waking up to this truth and choosing to live differently, valuing creativity and passion and living over the endless chase for a certainty that will never exist. Rather than spending years building with organizations doing work they don’t care about, these people are taking the risk of following their passion. Almost every day, I see a traveling van or two parked outside Main street coffee shops, while the owners sit inside on their computers, presumably making money while living their dream. In almost every cafe in Bozeman, at any point throughout the day, “freelancers” can be found. From writers to designers to entrepreneurs, increasing numbers of people are using the tools of technology to take back their lives.

It’s a scary thing to see the bankruptcy of our cultural mythos, and scarier still to consider embarking into uncharted territory. There’s no safety nets in the passion game.

There is only the knowing that a better way must exist, and an inability to ignore the gnawing any longer. It may sound unlikely that such options are possible, that people can actually carve out a passionate life. But it is possible. The internet is the most revolutionary tool humankind has ever known, an equalizing force that brings creative power and information to many who didn’t have such opportunities

zones, take risks and follow their dreams.

KD: Describe the reasons you have moved away from the conventional life. Describe the challenges, fears, and joys of taking that path.

TJ: I think we are so often taught to do this, do that. We are programmed to think in ways, and that didn’t make much sense to me anymore. Once I got back to the United States, I really saw a flaw in the system. We have so much, yet we have so little. We lack in our relationships and our priorities here in the US. It was so apparent to me in all the countries I visited that their relationships were valued over almost anything else. The work day was shorter, family was always first and people just seemed happier. It was refreshing and it lead to starting a business that could cater to those things.

It was important for me to put my relationships first and make sure I had the time and flexibility to spend time with the ones I loved. It’s been one of the greatest things about my life thus far, being able to work on my own schedule, spend time with family and build relationships with people.

KD: How does working for yourself, staying creative, and engaging with the world affect you and your relationships?

TJ: It’s a little cliché, but I swear as soon as I started following my heart and staying true to my goals, everything started to fall into place. It took a while, but I kept pushing and everything eventually came to be. I think that’s a good lesson and true for many things in life, whether in business, relationships, or living life; it’s so important to follow your dreams and listen to your heart. It’s one of the best feelings ever to finally feel like you are right where you need to be.

KD: What scares you about this lifestyle?

even ten years ago. And now is the time to jump in.

To prove my point, I caught up with lifelong friend and travelling entrepreneur, Thayer Janes, to talk about the payoffs of running a company from the computer.

KD: Explain what inspires you about your business and the lifestyle it allows you to lead.

TJ: I absolutely love to travel and when I started my business, I had one goal: I wanted to be able to work from anywhere.

I knew travel would always be a part of who I am so I figured why not combine it with business to see if it could work. It inspires me that I can work to the beat of my own drum. I can wake up when I want, I don’t have to rush out the door, so I’m never late, and I can enjoy my time with my family. It just makes life so much better.

I really want to inspire others to do the same. I want people to start thinking in different ways and live better. I think as a culture, especially as Americans, we get stuck in these patterns and loops that hold us back from our true potential.

We are taught to believe in things that just aren’t true anymore. The world is in such a unique place to be able to do these things and see these things that have never been possible. I want to inspire people to get out of their comfort

TJ: Like everyone else, I have doubts about myself from time to time. I doubt if this is the right direction, the right business or the right socially accepted path. Those feelings tend to pass but it can be hard sometimes. I feel like I have an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other. The angel tells me to follow my heart and break away from the so-called norm and on the other side, the devil tells me to get a cushy job in a big city with health insurance and a high salary. Most days, I tell that devil to shut up. But sometimes it gets the better of me.

If I have learned anything through my travels and my life thus far, it’s that I need to continue to take risks and face my fears. I truly believe we grow as humans more when we are faced with adversity and fear. I think going into business is no different. Yes it’s scary and a little uncomfortable for a while but once you get there, there’s nothing like it.

KD: How do people get started?

TJ: The first thing is to just go for it. Make a goal and stick to it. I started super small by cruising Craigslist and looking for random jobs that allowed me to be mobile. There are also websites that cater to finding remote jobs.

The second thing is, learn as much as possible. The internet is full of online courses, Youtube instructional videos, and free college courses. Take as many as possible; start playing with different programs. Many of my clients require a wide range of skill sets and the more you know, the better off you’ll be.

Go travel. Get out there. See the world. Experience new things. See how people live. I guarantee you will come back and see the world as a different place.

Your priorities will change. t Thayer is co-founder and project manager of Social Current, LLC, an online marketing agency specializing in digital marketing, online advertising and social media.

Water and Growth in Bozeman

Lain Leoniak

G

rowth in Bozeman has been a hot topic lately with many people inquiring as to how the city will grow. One aspect that has been noticeably absent from that discussion is the impact of growth on Bozeman’s water supplies. Many believe that there are sufficient water supplies available for future growth. Whether or not that is true will largely depend on the decisions each and every one of us make about how to use and value our water.

Bozeman is situated in a semi-arid high plains ecosystem and receives a relatively meager sixteen inches of precipitation on average during the growing season each year. Bozeman is a headwaters community, located at the very top of the drainage of the Missouri River Basin. This is great news from a water quality perspective. There are no cities or industries above us, so the quality of our water is extremely high. However, there is no upstream for us to get more water if supplies run low, so the quantity of water is limited.

Most of the city’s water comes from snowmelt from the Hyalite Range that feeds Sourdough (Bozeman) Creek and Hyalite Reservoir which flows into Hyalite (Middle) Creek. The rest comes from groundwater in Lyman Creek on the southwest side of the Bridger Mountains.

These supplies are likely to become less reliable over time. Bozeman, like many western cities and towns, is facing a future with shifting precipitation patterns-more moisture coming in the form of rain versus snow during shoulder seasons and warmer temperatures resulting in earlier peak flows and drier summers. Combine this with rapid population growth and Bozeman could reach the limits of its available water supplies in the next fifteen to twenty years.

The City of Bozeman’s Integrated Water Resources Plan (Plan) adopted by the City Commission in 2013 outlines a path forward to accommodate coming growth. The Plan projects that if we grow at 3% per year, Bozeman’s population will more than double in less than thirty years. It is worth noting that for the last two years Bozeman has grown in excess of 4.5% annually. The Plan estimates that if current water uses are not reduced, Bozeman’s demand for water will exceed available supplies around 2036 or when the population exceeds 62,000.

For most of Bozeman’s history as a city, we have met our water needs by expanding supply.

Through reservoirs, pipes, and treatment plants, 16 February 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

water was moved to where humans wanted it. The Plan recognizes the limits of Bozeman’s water supply and requires the majority of future water supplies to come from demand reduction-a.k.a. water conservation, and, to a lesser extent, continued expansion of supply through infrastructure projects.

The water needs of the next fifty thousand people cannot be accommodated with the practices that supplied the first forty-five thousand.

What is water conservation? It is each and every one of us deciding to use less water in and around our homes and businesses-otherwise known as demand-side water resource management. The Plan identifies water conservation as the primary source for the majority of our future water supplies because it costs far less than traditional infrastructure projects, the water is immediately available to accommodate growth or in times of drought versus having to wait ten to fifteen years for a new water supply to be built, and water conservation carries with it a host of environmental benefits that go towards improving water quality that support aquatic and terrestrial habitats in our lakes and rivers. The best and the worst part about water conservation is that all of us make a difference. This is great because if we all do our part to use less water by doing things like swapping out inefficient toilets, clothes washers, showerheads or sprinklers for efficient models, it instantly generates water supplies to enable Bozeman to grow and to better withstand drought events. The City

of Bozeman offers great rebates for all these items.

Don’t think your toilet makes a difference? By trading out one old toilet in your home, you can save enough water to fill 4,556 bathtubs which provides enough water for two single residential units for an entire year.

Without water conservation, the path we are on will result in expensive infrastructure projects.

Water-based environmental and recreational amenities at the heart of the Bozeman lifestyle will also be jeopardized unless a changed growth ethic emerges. Future solutions lie in managing water demand through changing the way we grow our urban and suburban areas and increasing efficiency of our distribution systems and end uses. Additional water infrastructure will be a needed part

of the solution, but infrastructure will not solve most of our water supply challenges. Rather than viewing this outlook with pessimism, Bozeman has a unique opportunity to plan for and build more livable and sustainable urban spaces with smaller land and water footprints.

Currently, nearly half of our municipal water goes to outdoor landscapes. These landscapes are important to our quality of life and provide value and cooling to our homes and businesses. Research has shown we can derive much of this value with a significantly smaller water footprint using water conservation and improved landscaping techniques. Additionally, Millennials and Baby Boomers seem more interested in smaller lots with less lawn care, likely steering future development in new directions.

While Bozeman might be the only city in Montana with a water conservation division, across the U.S., there are many examples of successful water use efficiency programs demonstrating that it works. We can and eventually will grow water smart in Bozeman. The question is how to make this happen sooner as we plan for our water future. One very easy first step we can all take is to start this dialogue today. How many people do you hear talking about Bozeman’s rate of growth in relation to our finite water supplies? If sustainable growth in Bozeman is important to you, start the conversation by talking about solutions to these challenges.

Beyond community discussions, there are numerous examples of municipal water conservation ordinances and growth planning that we can look to. It is also critical that we plan for episodic multiyear drought as a separate phenomenon from growth and water conservation goals. Developing institutional mechanisms that create flexibility in moving water among uses will also be important to meeting the water supply gap. How can Bozeman continue to grow? By better connecting urban growth and water supply planning. l Lain Leoniak is the Water Conservation Specialist for the City of Bozeman.

Real Estate Year End Report

Tim Ford REALTORÂŽ

T

he Real Estate market in Bozeman continued its hot streak through 2016. The good news for those thinking that prices are rising too quickly is that increases weren’t as dramatic as those seen in 2015.

Last year, 2015, was the first year that over 1,000 single family homes sold in a 12-month period in the Bozeman area; 1022 actually. This year that number rose again to 1076. This is up from the 905 single family homes that sold in Bozeman in 2014 and is well above the previous peak year of 2005, when 816 homes sold.

Looking back at pricing: In 2012, the median sold price for all single family homes both inside and outside the city limits was $278,750. This rose 7.3% in 2013 to $300,000. In 2014, it rose 8.3% to $325,000. 2015 saw an 11% increase to $361,550.

The gain in 2016 was more modest at 4.8%, rising to $379,000.

Restricting the data to just homes inside the city limits, the median sold price for single family homes rose from $255,000 in 2012 to $276,540 in 2013, or 8.4%. It then rose to $296,750 in 2014, a 7.3% increase. It took a big step in 2015 and rose 14% to $339,000. The gains this year were steady but not as drastic as last year, stepping up another 6% to $359,500 for single family home sales inside Bozeman city limits.

Condos and Townhomes, which took a bigger hit in the down turn than single family homes, enjoyed a greater increase. The median sold price rose from $150,000 in 2012 to $174,000 in 2013, an almost 16% increase. It rose again in 2014 by 13% to $197,000. 2015 saw a 6% increase to $209,000. This year, the median sold price for condos & townhomes

rose $26,000, or 12.4% to $235,000.

With the increase in pricing, we continue to see a decrease in the number of distressed sales in and around Bozeman. The combination of short sales and bank owned or foreclosed homes made up nearly 20% of all sales in 2011. Today, however, they make up less than 1% of total sales.

Growth in Bozeman continues to drive our Real Estate market. It also continues to surpass other Montana cities as well as regional cities such as Bend, Oregon, Fort Collins, Colorado, and Flagstaff, Arizona, according to US Census Bureau estimates.

Bozeman growth is a hot button topic that continues to incite debate among current residents.

Whether one is for it or against it, my estimate is that it is only going to continue regardless of how we feel about it. I predict 2017 will see continued increases in both sales volume and pricing across the valley.

The included data reflects sales of homes in the greater Bozeman area, including Four Corners, Gallatin Gateway, Bridger Canyon, and Bozeman city limits. The data includes home sales reported through the local Big Sky Country MLS, and does not include private party sales.

TheAHaufbrau Bozeman Icon

Cassi Miller, photos Zach Hoffman

L

ocals and transplants alike know there are certain things one must do as rites of passage when you become a citizen of Bozeman. You have to hike the M. In the summertime, you have to float the Madison. You have to attend a Farmer’s Market at Bogert Park. You have to hike to Palisade Falls. In the winter, you have to ski Bridger.

Naturally, most Bozeman rites are outdoor activities. But there’s one common denominator that transcends all of these favored adventures. There’s one place everyone goes where, very much like Cheers, everybody knows your name. That Bozeman icon is the Haufbrau.

Just as iconic and well known as the bar itself is the family behind the bar. Or, I guess the better way to phrase that would be the family inside the bar. While Don Frye, Sr., the beloved patriarch of the Frye family and owner of the Hauf, passed way in 2016, his family carries on his legacy and his traditions. So, it was my absolute pleasure to spend a cold, snowy morning with Don Jr. (and his adorable little daughter), Bill, and Cyn at The Filling Station, their other iconic establishment and my ultimate favorite hang in Bozeman. It was as if I cracked the dusty pages of Bozeman lore and stepped back into a time I could only wish to be a part of.

CM: Tell me a bit about the history of your family and the Hauf. How did this all start?

BF: Well, in 1969 dad bought the Hauf. The place had actually opened in1961 as some sort of Dutch kitchen and before that is was a drive-thru burger joint. In fact, you can still see the lower half of the original drivethru window on the side of the bar today.

DF: Yeah, that’s basically how it all got started. I actually think even before it was the drive-thru that whole corner was used for church revivals during the ‘20s and ‘30s. I always wondered, if those church people could see what that corner

20 February 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

has become, how we’ve turned it into the Barmuda Triangle, I bet they’d be rolling in their graves! But, as for our part in this history, it really all revolved around dad. He enjoyed meeting new people and visiting with people.

they are from and something about them. We at least try to get their name and their drink.

CF: Oh yes. He’d leave to run errands or drop off change at the bar and hours later he’d come home and say “I just met the most interesting person.” He’d tell me all about their story and I always enjoyed hearing that from him.

BF: Of course it’s the people. The patrons and the local crowds really make it for us. It’s most of the same guys, the usual suspects, every day.

They’ve been coming in here for years. It’s to the point where some of them are like extended family.

They like to joke that they paid for our college. The happy hour crowds covered tuition for Don and I. They always like to remind us of that, still to this day.

DF: He was just a natural with people and we try to continue that.

If people come in more than once, we always try to remember where

CM: What do you enjoy the most about being a part of Bozeman?

About the Hauf’s place in Bozeman?

DF: It’s also about the diversity of the place. Like, every Friday, we get the FWP guys in there. They call it the FWP Friday seminar. It’s the same group of biologists who have been coming there since the early ‘60s, I think. So, when the younger guys come in, the new college fish and wildlife guys, I always direct them to that group. They can ask them questions and learn so much from them right there in the bar.

They can ask what’s current and what’s new and just like that connections are made. It becomes a great resource for college kids. They get to intermix with the working crowd, share a drink with each other.

CM: What makes the Haufbrau unique?

not too long ago. We’re one of the few places that hasn’t changed in Bozeman.

CM: So, knowing that, what do you want people to experience when they come there?

DF: It’s a good opportunity, a good place to reflect back on the past.

They can think about the people who have walked through those doors, all the people who have come and gone. There’s a certain special kind of connection there. Even the bartenders are a part of that. Bars have always been known as sort of community centers. It’s where people come to celebrate the happy times and mourn the sad times. We’re one

get away if they’re scrolling through their phone or someone is calling and texting wondering where they are all the time? It’s the celebration of the old times and the good times.

Dad ran it like a family and we want to continue the same.

CF: Did you tell her how you boys started there?

DF: Oh yes, our first job was picking up the parking lot. We were probably about 6, 7, 8 and we’d come down in the morning and pick up the trash in the parking lot as our first job and as a way to help out.

Then, when we were about 10, we moved into the kitchen. We’ve worked every position in that bar. So, we’ve moved up or down depending on who you ask. Ha! But, we want to continue that tradition with our own families.

CM: So any upcoming events in February? Favorite drinks or food of the patrons?

DF: Well of course everyone has to come down to the Hauf for the Lanny burger. That’s the one with the BBQ sauce. I would definitely say that’s our most popular. It’s kind of fun to be a part of the history of Bozeman in that way. When people come back to town, they always say they have to go get Pickle Barrel and they have to have a Lanny Burger with us. It’s one of those things people have to do to check it off the Bozeman list. We also have, as always, music seven nights a week.

We’ll be running a special for skiers with Red Lodge Ales. Show us your ski pass and you can buy one, get one free with the Red Lodge brews.

DF: Longevity. The class of 1962 started this tradition where each class has a bar table. They’re still doing it in 2016. And every year, people come back, they come specifically to the Hauf, just to check on their class’s place in the bar. It’s that history and legacy that really means something to people. It’s very special for us to be a part of that, too. We’ve seen grandfathers, fathers, kids, three generations from the same family come through there. They have friends and memories there. They all have a story. They remember misspent and well spent youth. We love to be a part of that. We just had a 50-year class reunion in there

of the few bars in town who still do wakes. We get those names and drinks, and we help people celebrate life.

CM: We all know and have seen that Bozeman is changing. Where does the Hauf fit into that changing landscape?

DF: Above all, we want to keep the tradition of The Haufbrau alive. It’s kind of a throwback place, one of the few that are left and people really love that. There’s nostalgia in that. We don’t have WiFi there and we probably won’t be getting it.

Dad always said it was a place to get away from it all. How can a person

The Haufbrau is a necessary Bozeman experience. Not only is it necessary, it’s unforgettable. If you’ve never been in for lunch, believe all the rumors. The burgers are delicious. If you’ve never been in for the live music, round up a posse and stop in any night of the week. You can bask in the glow of the neon lights and reflect on the fact that you’re engaging in one of the most unique, longstanding pieces of Bozeman’s history. It’s an experience you won’t soon forget. h Cassi is a writing instructor and veteran services tutor at MSU and also works for Montana Gift Corral.

Surviving the Winter Blues T

he northwest Rocky Mountains can be a challenge to endure if you are not overly excited about winter, the snow and cold, and dark gray days. In the mountains, we tend to see more like 6 seasons as opposed to 4.

We add falter between fall and winter, and sprinter between spring and winter. Many who like the snow and enjoy spring skiing or elk hunter before full on winter appreciate the early and late snow, but for those who do not, it adds to the long months of winter. If the cold and snow is not your favorite thing but you are living here in Bozeman anyway, there are a few things that you can do to help survive the winter and not get depressed.

The cold and snow is challenging to deal when you are not a fan of being outside in those conditions. As much as there is to do here, if you are miserable doing it chances are you are going to stay home while others are out in the mountains in the winter. There is only one way I know of to deal with cold and that is with good gear! Sorry no magic tricks here; plan on making the investment to get the gear you need to keep you warm and dry when outside makes a huge difference. If you can stay comfortable you are much more likely to stay out and enjoy what you are doing. There are great stores in Bozeman to get you hooked up with all that you need, but there are also great options throughout the year to find sales and swaps to get you ready. Plan on getting multiple layers and things that dry quickly, which will make your time outside in the cold much more enjoyable.

You also want to make sure your metabolism is kicking out energy to keep you warm. As much as we want to eat sweets and carbohydrates during the winter months, because they taste good and give us quick energy, it is the wrong energy to keep you warm. Your physiology is designed to burn fat. If you consume a high good fat diet with plenty of Omega 3s, fat from grass-fed animals, fish, and high fat vegetables like avocados, your body will stay warmer.

During the winter as the days are shorter and we make the push towards March to the spring equinox when the days begin to get longer again, we can really miss the natural light of the sun which has a great effect on our moods. Keeping your shades open and trying to get some sun exposure outside makes a big difference. When you are inside, using full spectrum light bulbs is a big help, and if you can’t afford to have them in every room of your house, you can purchase a light

box with a full spectrum bulb and set it close to where you work, which will also help you feel better.

When you have tried everything and the winter just seems to have its claws gripped tight around you and you feel some depression holding you down, there are some dietary tricks that help also. I already mentioned eating more fat and less sugar, but sugar also weakens your immune system and short circuits your brain. If you are constantly going through spikes and lows in your blood sugar, your brain becomes very fatigued as the brain cells create too many waste products from the over excitement of the cells caused by excess glucose; then they need time to recover and clean up the waste products.

That’s when you get brain fog. Sugar also weakens your immune system making it easy to catch a virus, which is why so many people get sick in the winter with the flu or a cold.

To keep your immune system healthy and your brain working better, make sure you keep your vitamin D levels up.

The sun’s rays are not strong enough above 45 degrees north for humans to make vitamin D between the fall and spring equinox, even if you stand outside in your underwear at noon during the winter. Therefore, everyone in Montana should be supplementing with Vitamin D3 through the winter, 2,000 IU’s– 10,000 IU’s depending on your vitamin D levels is recommended as a daily dose. If you don’t know your Vitamin D3 levels, betting on 5,000 IU’s/day is probably best.

If the grips of depression still won’t let go, and you’re not using any other medications, St. Johns Wort is a wonderful and gentle herb to help with easing the depression. St. Johns Wort works to help increase serotonin in the brain, and also with liver detoxification. Because of this it can have interactions with other medications, so consult your physician if are using other medications before starting it.

The best way to make winter go quickly, however, is to stay busy. If you are not going to get outside and enjoy the winter activities, then get busy inside doing something you enjoy. If it’s tying flies for next fishing season, or working on a house project, keeping your mind busy and your body active helps to pass the time. Purpose always gives us something to look forward to and gets us motivated in the morning to do a good day’s work! Knowing your purpose and being excited about it is the best way to cure any depression. Don’t let winter hold you captive; take charge of your health and your mental wellbeing and live a Healthy, Natural, and Optimal Life.

Montana Adjusts To New Medical Marijuana Laws Pat Hill

I

n the wake of passage of a citizen initiative restoring Montana’s Medical Marijuana Program, the Treasure State’s medical cannabis providers are operating in a new business climate.

Uncertainties have plagued Montana’s medical marijuana program since its inception in 2004. The industry dramatically expanded in the state after the election of President Obama in 2008, then suffered setbacks during the 2011 Montana Legislative Session with the passage of Senate Bill 423. Legal maneuvering kept many of SB 423’s provisions from being implemented until last fall, but I-182 restored most of Montana’s medical marijuana rules, lifting a three-patient limit on providers and negating action on doctors who prescribe cannabis to more than 25 patients per year.

Nevertheless, the Aug 31 implementation of SB 423, though negated within months by the passage of I-182, left the state’s medical marijuana providers and patients in the position of having to start from scratch in many cases. Even upon I-182’s passage, a mistake in the initiative’s language meant that changes would not be implemented until June 30 of 2017, but on Dec 7, District Judge James Reynolds ruled that the drafting error should not keep patients from access to their medicine.

“The folks that are the most in need are the least able to provide…to grow their own,” Reynolds said in making the ruling.

“I think speed is more important than niceties.”

“I think the judge did the right thing,” said Bozeman City Commissioner Jeff Krauss, who acted as Treasurer for Montana Citizens for I-182. “A few bumps in the road can be expected. It’s going to take a while for providers to get back to having a steady supply, and we need patients to have confidence in their access to medicine.”

Mandy Bateman-Elvrom is one of those providers striving to make certain that patients have access to their medicine. She owns and operates Sovereign Woods on East Mendenhall Street in Bozeman.

“Accessibility and quality (of the product) are important to me,” she said, “because we are serving people who are really taking their health care into their own hands. I want to be serving my customers in a location that’s nice, a place they feel comfortable. I want to be able to always provide high-quality medicine…this is about health and wellness.

I am striving to operate a good business.”

Mandy is one of those providers who have literally had to start again from scratch. She decided to go the storefront route to be able to more efficiently serve her customers.

“One of the problems I’ve encountered is the ban on advertising regarding the product,” she said. “It’s word of mouth, basically, but my goal is to be serving 200 customers by the end of the year.” Krauss said that the advertising ban is aimed mostly at billboard-style advertising.

24 February 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

“The ban on print advertising is an interesting speech issue,” he said. “It looks a lot like regulating speech.” He added that the print advertising ban is something that may be looked at by the Montana Legislature in the future.

Other issues facing the medical marijuana industry in Montana are being examined during the current legislative session. Most significant of these is the taxing of cannabis sales. Though Gov. Steve Bullock has suggested implementing a six percent tax, other legislators have suggested taxing the product at much higher rates. Legislators and providers alike are fairly certain that such a tax will become law, but questions remain as to the tax rate and what will happen to the funds the tax will generate.

Billings Democratic Rep. Kelly McCarthy told the Associated Press that she supports a tax, so long as the money is used to regulate that program only and does not go into the general fund.

“Taxing medications---especially when we have no other example of a taxed medication in Montana---to put money in the general fund, I don’t agree with that,” McCarthy said. Mandy said she also wants to see any money generated from a tax work for the patients and the program.

Providers and legislators are also concerned about what the new Trump Administration may do regarding cannabis, which is still listed as a Schedule I drug and illegal under Federal law. One of those concerns regards Trump’s choice for Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, who has been a critic of marijuana for recreational or medical purposes.

“Is one of Trump’s priorities to shut down legal cannabis? I don’t think so,” said Krauss. “This issue has bubbled up from the local and state level.

What I’ve heard is that the President is more concerned with unifying the country. Taking on the entire West Coast of the United States, where marijuana is legal, isn’t very unifying. As for Montana, I hope that I-182 is law for a long long time.”

Don’t Hesitate to Hockey Layne Fisher, photography Tina Stinson

T

he first step is always the hardest. That is true for everything from monotonous domestic tasks to the things we love most. We as people spend ample time priming the engine of action with forethought, cost and time analysis, and general hesitation. Well, hesitate no more. Give us your hand and let the Bozeman Amateur Hockey Association (BAHA) guide you into your newest favorite form of recreation.

Let’s start with the adults. Ice hockey is complimentary to all of your other activities. In fact, the strengths you will build in learning this new sport may serve to enhance further enjoyment in other forms of recreation. If you haven’t yet found your favorite flavor of recreation, we have you covered. Our programs provide the opportunity to learn the sport in a safe and friendly environment.

Joining the Adult Hockey Skills classes is one point of entry. There are two 8-week sessions in the season which are designed for the ‘never been on skates’ crowd to the intermediate player bent to learn more. Coaches work with students to develop onice skill and technique which will grow confidence, ability, and fuel the desire to progress into actual game play.

The Greenhorn league is another entry point, or the next step in the progression to game play; depending on your constitution. We welcome any adult curious about the sport to register with this league to see what the game is all about. We only require that you have little to zero experience. Where else are you going to hear that?! Greenhorn league is new this year and was formed for the ‘never played’ new skaters to start getting a taste of what league games are like at the rink. In early 2017, the new league joins four levels of co-ed recreational competition (the Haynes Hockey League) which accommodates players from any range of ability and age.

Moving on. The BAHA youth hockey programs are also experiencing

26 February 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

growth under the direction of Hockey Director Dave Weaver. Focus on quality is the core motivation for these programs. Hockey is known as a life-long sport. We make it our mission to ensure each child receives quality instruction, ice time, and appropriate level of competition. Most importantly, we strive to keep the level of stoke high with each individual player, as well as within a supportive team environment. Ice hockey is fun. We aim to keep it that way.

“At the end of the day, we are playing hockey. It is important, it is meaningful, and we treat it as such. We put our all into making sure these programs are up to snuff. But, whether it’s the four or fourteen year old, we are out there playing ice-hockey! We can’t lose sight of the value of enjoyment when it comes to this sport.” shares Hockey Director Weaver.

The basic structure of the program breaks down into two basic options: travel and non-travel. Each faction has different benefits and levels of commitment. From there, similar ages are grouped, and teams are formed. This is the quick distillation of a more complicated and thoughtful structure designed to satisfy any and every level of play.

The youth travel league is an outlet for competition with our regional counterparts.

This program is ideal for the family who is willing to dedicate the time and energy to a higher level of competition and commitment. This program will take you around Montana, as well as into rinks of our neighboring states. It is a fantastic experience which will mold your child-athlete’s appreciation of the sport and team dynamics.

The non-travel leagues accommodate a family with a full schedule and a desire to keep their activities local. It is also the starting point for the littlest hockey players. Children as young as four are able to register for our ‘Termite’ program. The practices are run by USA Hockey certified coaches and include scrimmages to introduce competition in a team setting. One of the best things

about the non-travel option is that registration remains open all year long.

The ‘Mountain League’ non-travel program was created for families with older children who want to keep their play local. In the last year the program was restructured to enhance the hockey experience by introducing more players and more game opportunities. We are proud of the program’s success and growth, but it is nothing without the families which make up a rich part of our community.

The hockey family, to which it is often referred, is our most valuable asset.

Yes, hockey is fun. Yes, hockey is for everyone. Yes, it is about athleticism and the sport, fundamentally. But what BAHA offers beyond an arena and structure for play, is a vibrant and welcoming community.

“I’ve now been in this job for over 10 years. It is very rewarding to see so many different people enjoying the rink every day. Skating is addicting and people really look forward to their ice time, which makes it a positive environment. Haynes Pavilion really becomes a world of its own when the ice goes in.” said Operations Director Julie Keck.

The Operations Director is charged with the responsibility of managing all aspects of the rink facility. In her tenure with BAHA, Keck has also moved into the position of overseeing ice-rink programming and day-to-day business.

Keck is a fixture within the local ice rink community and is known within the national rink community not only due to her vast experience and knowledge base, but as being one of few female facility operators in the US. For over thirty years our organization has been building and managing ice rinks in Bozeman proper; starting with Bogert and moving to Haynes Pavilion, where we currently reside. Our hockey family has grown from a handful of die-hards to nearly 700 adults, and 250 kids. This is just counting the players.

There are hundreds of families and friends who have never been on the ice, yet devote time and effort to the expansion of recreational ice and hockey programming. Because, let’s just say it: hockey is fun. An ice rink is fun.

We are proud to be aligned with the many user groups who also call Haynes Pavilion home. Our sister organization, the Gallatin Ice Foundation has brought the dream of two rinks, side-by-side, to life through their mission to raise funds for ice expansion. In 2017, the ice-hockey community will realize those dreams alongside figure skaters, curlers, and the public who will receive additional leisure skate time on the schedule.

To bring it on home I want to leave you with a personal message. A friend once told me that the mother of all mistakes is hesitation. Now, whether he is right or not with that generality, I’m not certain. Speaking for myself, I will agree. He said that to me as I was learning to kayak, and had questions about which line to take mid-river. Hesitation would ultimately put me upside down in a hole. Relieving myself of the question (safely, of course) charged me into the ‘why’ of the sport.

The same logic can be applied to trying a new ice sport. This year I’m going to learn to skate. Yes, I’m starting at the most fundamental stage. Who knows where it will lead, however. Every time I walk through the rink I see a plethora of familiar faces. They are always encouraging, asking when they will see me out there on the ice. I always respond “one day.” Well, that day has come, and I have no reason left to hesitate. Nor should you. I intend on injecting a little more fun into my days. Ice recreation will be couched between skiing and fishing, and there is ample time to do it all.

Finally, on behalf of BAHA I want to extend an anticipatory “Welcome.”

We’ll be here when the to-do lists are accomplished, and you need some quality time to recreate. When the fields are frozen, the trails overgrown with ice; when the local pro (or bro) scoffs at your innocent and earnest attempts to enter a new sport -- know that the ice rink is big, we will always have room for one more. h Please visit www.bozemanhockey.org for more information on hockey programs and to access the complete rink(s) schedule.

Valentine’s Day Hot Spots Rachel Hergett

I

n February, we celebrate love, and particularly those we love. Our list of hot spots to spend Valentine’s Day features places to reconnect, to unwind, and most importantly, enjoy each other.

As love knows no bounds, the ways we celebrate vary. This list starts with the places you voted most romantic spots in this year’s Reader’s Poll, then offers more suggestions for making your significant other feel adored while having a bit of fun together.

Big Sky Resort

Find the romance on the slopes, or curled up in front of the fire at one of the lodges at Big Sky. The weekend before Valentine’s Day 2017, the resort plays host to both the Big Sky Big Grass festival featuring bluegrass stalwarts Sam Bush and Del McCoury with their bands, and a slopestyle and rail jam competition. But the resort hosts live music most winter evenings and makes for a nice overnight getaway from our little big city.

Norris Hot Springs

Norris Hot Springs is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the winter, so if you have a relaxing soak planned with your love, you may have to celebrate a little early this year. The natural-fed hot spring has history (the pool was built by miners in the 1800s), atmosphere, visiting wildlife, local seasonal fare and beverages. To sprinkle in the romance, cuddle up in the pool under the stars.

The Haufbrau

Well, your idea of romantic spots is only slightly baffling, as people have certainly found love at this local dive. With a couple dark booths, live music seven nights a week (Aaron Banfield is scheduled for Feb. 14), and the whole alcohol thing going for it, the Hauf found its way onto your list. But if you’re making it your Valentine’s Day destination, maybe drop the “Hauffice” nickname and spring for something more than the free peanuts.

Peets Hill

This one brings with it a world of possibilities. Grab your love’s hand and take a stroll on our local network of trails, Main Street to the Mountains, running along the base and top of this special hill. Find a sled or something sled-like and make it a snow day, or better yet, a snow night and channel the romance with moonlight sledding (the full moon is Feb. 10). Or, find a bench at the top and take in an aerial view of Bozeman as the sun sets. Hot chocolate and hand warmers recommended.

28 February 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

Ice Rinks

Ok, they’re not Rockefeller Center, but Bogert, Beall and Southside parks all have outdoor ice skating rinks in the winter. You can create your own magic on the ice, sharing a spin with your sweet. Who better to catch you if you fall?

Or at least help you up. Chalet Sports offers rentals if you don’t have skates. In inclement weather, the Gallatin Ice Foundation opened the Ressler Motors Ice Rink, in January, with skating year-round.

Anywhere with the one you love

Bottom line for Valentine’s Day is to celebrate the love you share in whichever way is best for you. It’s like the secret ingredient soup in “Kung Fu Panda;” special because you believe it is. So go on a sleigh ride (with dinner at the Big Yellow Barn or daily at Sunrise Pack Station), for a walk, to the mountain, for a soak, to a movie, for dinner... Or don’t go anywhere. Read love poems in your pajamas. Serve up a fancy meal, have a snowball fight in the back yard, or build a blanket fort like little kids. As long as you are enjoying being together, you’ve found your perfect hot spot. Happy Valentine’s Day! r Rachel Hergett is a Montana Native, the former Bozeman Chronicle “Get Out” editor, and hosts the Magic Monday show on KGLT public radio.

Big Yellow Barn

Built in 1917, the Big Yellow Barn north of Bozeman once housed draft horses, but is now an event venue specializing in rustic weddings. In the winter, the owners bring back horses, hitched to a sleigh built for 14 and perfect for a winter evening with the one you love. This year’s Valentine’s Sleigh Ride Under the Stars is set for Saturday, Feb. 11, and features a plated dinner before you head out into the cold for an idyllic end to the evening.

Bohart Ranch

If you’re craving a little something different this Valentine’s Day, take your loved one to Bohart Ranch. There’s plenty of time to lose yourselves in each other as you cross-country ski on the trails or snowshoe through the woods.

One might find magical fairy doors in the trees or stars in your lover’s eyes on this winter adventure date. And don’t worry if you’re new to this whole thing: Rentals and lessons are available.

The Theater

Maybe the one you love is an artist at heart, or enjoys a good story or a good laugh. Consider an evening at the theater as a Valentine’s Day treat. This year, the weekend before love’s favorite holiday is the opening weekend of Montana Shakespeare in the Parks and Intermountain Opera Bozeman’s production of the Stephen Sondheim musical “A Little Night Music,” a celebration and exploration of love and desire. Or, if full-on laughter is more your style, it’s also the closing weekend of Verge Theater’s sixth annual comedy revue.

Rockin TJ Ranch

Another wedding venue and event center, this time south of town, Rockin TJ Ranch has been serving up romance with an annual dinner show for over a decade that is a favorite with local couples seeking a unique night on the town to celebrate Valentine’s Day. This year, see the return of Cirque du Coeur, or circus of the heart, featuring aerialists, jugglers, fire spinners and big-top acts of all sorts as you enjoy live music and a five-course meal.

aney Lou and the Bird Dogs have been forging a fresh and energetic sound to the northwest music scene. Their live show is highlighted by unbridled energy, and punctuated by songs performed with fervor and swagger. Fusing old time folk songs with a rock ‘n’ roll attitude, the Bird Dogs push the envelope of what a string band is generally described as.

They’ve been hitting the road hard since 2014, sharing stages with Corb Lund, Hayes Carll, Hurray for the Riff Raff, the Mavericks, Wynonna Judd, Mark Chesnutt, the Lil’ Smokies and many more. The Bird Dogs released their first album in the spring of 2016. Recorded live at Basecamp Studio, the album is one that reflects their live show and makes you want to stomp your feet and crack open a beer.

Born under the big sky in Bozeman, Montana, Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs consist of Matt Demarais on banjo/vocals, Ethan Demarais on bass, Lena Schiffer on vocals/guitar, Brian Kassay on fiddle/mandolin, and newly added member Josh Moore on vocals/guitar. - FEB 17 at the Filling Station

creen Door Porch founded the annual WYOmericana Caravan Tour (WYOmericana.com) in 2013—a rotating cast of Wyoming-based acts showcasing original music and ad-libbed collaborations while caravanning the region. The tour has become a storied tradition in the region due to the camaraderie elements absent from most modern day traveling shows. Carpe diem!

Whether staging The Duo or more often than not, The Quartet, featuring longtime drummer/harmony vocalist Andy Peterson and bassist David Bundy), part of Screen Door Porch’s MO has always been a breadth of acoustic and electric instrumentation --acoustic/resonator/electric/slide guitars, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and kazoogle, backed by a powerful rhythm section.

The dynamic range of textures allows for the high-energy swagger of gritty, slide-induced blues-rock to pensive alt-country and flourishes of gypsy jazz and folk-grass. The band’s third full-length album, Modern Settler (2015), certainly embraces that palette while depicting colorful characters of ole Wyom and the intense landscape that inspires and humbles. Wyoming Public Radio listeners voted Modern Settler the #1 Album of 2015. - FEB 18 at the Eagle’s Ballroom

or more than 30 years, Jerry Joseph has been strapping on a guitar and chasing down truth, understanding and soul with a tenacity and resonant skill that mark him as a hard charging kindred spirit to Joe Strummer, Warren Zevon and Patti Smith. While not a household name or critic’s darling, Joseph is the archetypal musician’s musician, something resoundingly clear in his live performances, as well as his studio work.

Despite the sort of roadblocks and turns of fortune that usually crush most musicians, Joseph survives, and in fact, thrives in a way that’s heartening and stirring, as anyone who has seen a live show can testify.

“I’m lucky. I work. I’ve never had to play in a cover band. I’ve never had to wear a funny hat, “ says Joseph. “Perhaps because of the lack of traditional success, I’ve put out about a record a year, plus all the stuff that’s never come out, and it’s kept me creatively honest. I don’t rehash my past. I don’t repeat any of my old hits because I don’t have any big hits.”

City Hall / Opera House p.13 boxes and the lower proscenium arch was built.

The county high school received the old curtains and the property room was ordered cleared of rubbish. In 1916 the opera house became the Municipal Theater and World War I took the traveling companies off the road.

Act 3-The End of an Era and the Needs of City Government Rundown and often empty, the old opera house now drew crowds only on rare occasions.

Boxing and wrestling were featured for a short period, with a ring constructed on the parquet and bleacher seats built on the stage.

Where once musicians, actors, dancers and performers of all genres delighted Bozeman’s culture thirsty citizens now was all but deserted.

Through the 1920’s the National Guard rented the space and soldiers marched and counter marched until they found new quarters in 1926.

Darkness once again returned until the Montana State College dramatics class gave a reopening performance of The Importance of Being Earnest in May of 1927. The high school held its graduation ceremonies that year too but the building was deemed structurally unsound for public usage, the lights went off, the doors were closed and the pigeons were left to rule. Only the posters on the stage wall remained as painful souvenirs of many evenings of grandeur.

As Bozeman continued its population growth and the city government needed more room. The fireman built a dormitory under one side of the

balcony and into the parquet and a courtroom was put on the other side. More cells were needed by the police department, so the dressing rooms beneath the stage were fitted with bars and steel doors. The stage itself became a repository for tarnished and broken street decorations.

Time marched on and the old building grew shabbier; in 1938 local architect Fred F. Willson drew plans for a new city hall but the bond issue failed. With the coming war the plans were shelved and the idea abandoned until the earthquake in August of 1959 cracked the walls of the building.

They were reinforced with beams bolted together inside and out, but it was obvious that the structure was dangerously weak.

It took several bond elections before the issue carried and not until 1965 was the building empty and ready for demolition. As layer upon layer of the grand old building was removed the corner-

stone and its contents became the source of considerable speculation. It was not marked, and no one knew which stone contained the documents.

The demolition crew finally discovered it when they tipped over a stone on the northeast corner of the building. Much like the soon to be forgotten building, the unsealed metal box had rusted away, leaving only undecipherable scraps of what had once been records and documents.

The old fire alarm bell that graced the bell tower sits in front of the fire station on Rouse now and the community still debates topics of city needs, preservation and performing arts space. h Cindy Shearer is a volunteer at the Gallatin History Museum in Bozeman and also the Gallatin Historical Society Board President.

the Thornes spreads out over a cool jam that soon breaks into a sweat on the dance floor as bandmatesJordan Cole Rodenbiker (bass), Daniel Wood (pocket trumpet), Aaron Banfield (guitar), and Jelani Mahiri (percussion) reveal the complexity in the union set of disciplined musicianship and wild improvisation. Considering Dan’s day job is with a local symphony and Jordan Rodenbiker is part of the Cure for the Common phenom when not backing Cole, Aaron is the second coming of your favorite guitarist to the 10th power, and Jelani could prep a jet for take off, this group has the musical hand in spades. Add sister Annette Thorne’s visiting circus tricks and life partner’s Sean Gannon’s

real-time photojournalism to the mix, and there is magic. They’ve got it, and are sharing it all with you. Lucky. Experience a Cole and the Thornes show and get that exclusive, deja-vu feeling of “I knew them when; I heard HER before they broke out, going viral in the clubs of Rio, Reykjavik, Montreal, or Kingston.”

A creative wonderkid from Gillette, WY, Cole has a knack for the piano, her first love, calling it “a mysterious puzzle that you want to solve.”

She admits to begging her family to play only piano music on long road trips or before bedtime.

Best friend and cattle rancher, Grandma Rita, paid for the lessons, and allowed Cole to dream big on

the baby grand in her majestic sitting room. While paternal grandparents ran a honky-tonk, it was Cole’s maternal side that encouraged the arts. Cole started ballet at the age of 6, and to this day she says, “music is a language that I want to learn, understand, and speak fluently.” Cole speaks through music to create culture with her audience, “People can get disconnected, but the culture of music and dancing brings them back to each other. When you dance and let go, you get connected and more in tune with your body and your soul.” Cole moved to Bozeman, when she was 18 and that’s when she picked up the guitar and ukulele. “I See You” is the first song she wrote for Uke and is an anthem to true friendship. “It is a song about seeing someone for who they truly are.

Getting past anything that is bad to respect the good. Let the people I care about know that I’ll be there for them. I will always appreciate them. Listening to your friends and your loved ones without judgment. That’s what that song represents to me.”

Cole grew as an artist, lead singer, and polymath musician, in the fourth quarter of 2016 with a challenging lyrical curriculum and fierceness on stage. Before opening for Eric D. Johnson of the Fruitbats at the Filling Station, and shining at the Pine Creek Music Festival, she kept a cool head through a breathless sprint of venues including the “Cole Thorne Train Tour” across the country with stops in CO, NM, FL (Florida Keys) & NC. New Year’s Eve was a peak experience when the set of players behind the Vulfpeck tribute quietly populated the stage and backed Cole with the bravest fusion since the Marsalis brothers took Lincoln Center. Which tells you something about what happens when excellent musicians get together – they can play in any style and they love getting behind Cole’s beautiful voice. “Bringing bands together is a showcase of art,” affirms Cole. For the audience, it is clear the instrumentalists adore her and she pays it forward, “when I feel the audience, my emotions flow . . .

While I’m playing, I definitely feed off the audience, that’s for sure. I can tell if they’re feeling it. And, if they are feeling it, the whole band will be in synergy too. I don’t know about other musicians, but for me it’s about an energy connection. We’re all energetic and that is what makes it real.”

And, oh can she sing people. Listen to her signature pieces,“I See You,” and “Be Here Now.” It is impossible to figure out who may have informed Cole’s lyricism but we tried at the Bozambique/Cole and the Thornes show last month – me (Joan Baez, Carly Simon, Edith Piaf, Brandi Carlisle, Sade, Fiorella Mannoia); he (Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, Emmylou Harris, Fiona Apple, Mazzy Star). And, then, both of us in unison “can’t be done . . . Cole’s voice is unique, there’s nobody like her!” Cole’s musical mentor, Sean Hayes, said it best: “Mystery Surrounds Us!” Cole says that her musical mentors Clarence Greenwood from “Citizen Cope”, Trevor Hall, and and Dallas Tamaira from Fat Freddy’s Drop inspire her mission, “I want to spread love and to send message. Music is a form of medicine. My passion is music and creation. Combining music with being a teacher and a healer, that’s not just my lifestyle, it’s my life’s purpose.”

Realtor, speaking with Sally and Joe: We’ve all agreed that you folks can afford this small but clean two bedroom, two bath at $450,000. Needs some work, but you have nothing else to do since you are retired. Now read this contract of purchase carefully, as our lawyers drafted it for this transaction. Sign and initial each page. We‘ll need four character references, but you can get those in by 5 o’clock today. Don’t be late. There are sixteen other couples looking at this place, and if you’re a minute late, we will have other buyers. Some of them are parked out front right now, waiting to see if you can’t make it.

Joe: Wow, we’re due at the bank at 3PM sharp to sign the loan papers for the $300,000 we need to borrow. Guess we’ll be eating a lot of soup in retirement; hope some of the meat shops here save their soup bones.

Six months later…Joe and Sally in Bozeman house…

Joe: Look, dear, it’s our Bozeman real estate tax notice…first half is…(falls off chair) $3,468.00!!! Sally, put that round steak back in the freezer to save for company. I’ll go find a good ham bone to throw in with those beans we bought on sale last year. Let’s get them soaking… s Jerry Schuster is a “semi-retired” attorney who moved from Wolf Point to Bozeman in 2013. I enjoy reading good books, writing for work and fun, and “things Bozeman”.

Tyler Fortune T

yler Fortune (Fortune, like the cookie) is a designer and photographer from sunny Orlando, Florida. He’s proud to call Montana his home, amidst moving frequently with his Air Force family. Tyler earned his BA in Photography from Bozeman’s amazing program and is passionate about taking urban and architectural photography to the next level.

The featured image is from his series, City Lights, which takes a day to night time lapse and combines it into a single photograph.

Below is the City Lights artist statement: City Lights is a photo series that places a time lapse into one, single image. Every photograph is the result of combining at least ten images taken over a five hour time period.

The time span covers the transition from day to night for each location and shows the contrast between the natural and city light. Greatly inspired by the work of Stephen Wilkes, City Lights was photographed throughout the cities of Montana and the Northwest.

When he’s not designing or snapping photos, you can find him performing mediocre skateboarding tricks, scavenging for a new addi-

tion to his extensive Hot Wheels collection (150 and counting), or surfing on the coast of Florida. Aside from being a car fanatic, he’s also a music nerd, so you might find him in his beat laboratory recording guitar, bass, piano, or drums.

FREE Family Symphony Amy Leister

T

he Bozeman Symphony, conducted by Matthew Savery, will perform two free family concerts on Saturday, February 11th, 2017 at Willson Auditorium. There’ll be fun for the whole family as we romp through a dazzling array of orchestral selections by Beethoven, Rossini, John Williams and popular tunes such as Beauty and the Beast, Pink Panther, Selections from Hook, America the Beautiful and the Theme from Superman in this kid-friendly, fun-filled, 50 minutes of music. With a hilarious script featuring actors, gags, and special effects, you and your family will enjoy plenty of laughs while discovering the wonderment of symphonic music. Join us for the return of Supermaestro as he and the Bozeman Symphony battle with the evil, musichating Stifflemeister from the planet Mutonium. Will Supermaestro save the day, or will Stifflemeister silence music forever? G-Rated: for Guaranteed Fun! Heroes & Villains will be presented on Friday, February 10th, 2017, as a special presentation for fourth graders in the Bozeman Public Schools and surrounding areas. This performance is aimed to inspire young people to become life-long lovers of the performing arts. Bozeman is fortunate to have an outstanding music program in the school system, whose musical aspirations of students are supported through orchestra, band and choir group lessons beginning in elementary school and continuing to the collegiate level at Montana State University. The Bozeman Symphony includes several players developed through these music programs, and is proud to facilitate educational and outreach programs supporting young musicians in our community. These young musicians ensure the legacy of the Bozeman Symphony.

Joining Maestro Savery and the orchestra as the evil, music-hating Stifflemesiter is resident actor John Hosking, co-founder of the Vigilante Theatre Co. Hosking has been featured in the first two collaborations between the Opera and Shakespeare in the Parks; you may recognize him from his portrayal of Colonel Pickering in last year’s production of “My Fair lady”, or the Governor in “Man of La Mancha”, or Richard Hannah in “39 Steps” at the Ellen. John was an actor in the first full season of Shakespeare in the Parks of Montana and performed at the Virginia City Opera House for over a decade.

While touring with A Contemporary Theatre (ACT) of Seattle, he was invited to perform at the Kennedy Center. John was a member of the Founding Board of the Emerson Cultural Center in Bozeman. He received his B.A. in Theatre Arts from Montana State University and is a Hilberry Graduate Fellow (Wayne State University).

Before the musical adventure with the orchestra begins, an instrument petting zoo, courtesy of Eckroth Music, will be available. Kids and kids at heart are encouraged to enjoy this hands-on learning of the instruments that compose a symphony.

These performances would not be possible without strong community support and sponsorship. These concerts are sponsored by the Gilhousen Foundation, Barnard Construction, the Jodar Family Foundation – Bruce Jodar and Kimberlie Birdwell, Gianforte Family Foundation and the Montana Arts Council. Performances are Saturday, February 11th at 10:30 AM and 1:00 PM at the Willson Auditorium (404 West Main Street) in downtown Bozeman. Although both presentations are free of charge, tickets are required. Please reserve and pick up tickets in advance online at bozemansymphony.org, or by phone at (406) 585-9774. The Bozeman Symphony Office is located at 1001 West Oak Street, Suite 110. TICKETS ARE FREE. The office can hold your tickets through Thursday, February 9th. r Amy Leister is Patron Services & Box Office Manager for the Bozeman Symphony.

Marjorie Prime Montana Premiere of:

Bennett Drozic

B

ozeman Actors Theatre, in cooperation with Verge Theater, will present Montana’s first fully staged production of “Marjorie Prime” in February and March at Verge Theater.

The critically acclaimed play by Jordan Harrison, nephew of the late Montana novelist and poet Jim Harrison (“Legends of the Fall”), completed its successful run Off Broadway in 2015 and was a finalist for that year’s Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

the direction of Tonya Andrews, the ensemble brings to Bozeman a domestic drama of an entirely different sort.

Wilder added that Jordan Harrison is one of the brightest young playwrights of his generation whose work is especially timely at the moment. Harrison writes for the Netflix original “Orange Is the New Black,” and “Marjorie Prime” is the basis for a soon-to-be-released major motion picture starring Lois Smith, Geena Davis, Jon Hamm and Tim Robbins. “‘Marjorie Prime’ is an exciting new work from an emerging playwright—exactly the kind of theater we enjoy serving up to our community,” Wilder said. “It’s a story told with honesty, heart and humor, and it asks questions that audiences will be pondering long after the lights go down.”

Bozeman Actors Theatre and Verge Theater will present “Marjorie Prime” as a 2017 Main Stage production at the Verge on Fridays and Saturdays between Feb. 24 and March 11, 2017, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $14 and are available online at vergetheater.com, or in person at Cactus Records in Downtown Bozeman. v

Set in the unspecified but oddly familiar future, the story takes place in the household of an average middle-aged couple, Tess and Jon, played by Cara Wilder and Gordon Carpenter, who share their home with Tess’s 85-year-old mother, Marjorie (Dee Dee Van Zyl). Also present is Walter (Ryan Lawrence Flynn), a thirtysomething holographic representation, or “prime,” of Marjorie’s late husband, programmed to collect and sort Marjorie’s fading memories.

With gentle humor and subtle yet poignant insight, the play confronts issues of aging, death, memory loss and identity.

“I was fascinated by the themes of the play on my first reading, as it offers food for thought on so many levels,” said Wilder, who is also artistic director for Bozeman Actors Theatre. “It’s spare, simple storytelling tackling some very profound subjects.”

Bozeman Actors Theatre’s mission, Wilder said, is to provide professionalquality and adventurous live theater to the community through a mix of contemporary and classical productions. In November the group presented a staged reading of Edward Albee’s ageless masterpiece “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” at MSU’s Black Box Theatre. Now, with “Marjorie Prime,” under
