LOCAL LEGENDS Bozeman has always played host to an assortment of characters. From the towns namesake to the ‘famous’ people who come here to visit, and hide out, there is almost always someone to talk about. John M. Bozeman Guess who our town is named after? Some guy called Bozeman? Right! John Merin Bozeman, was a rambling, gambling, rugged mountain man who fought bravely to tame the West. Born in Georgia in 1837 he was an early Montana pioneer who helped create the Bozeman Trail through Wyoming Territory into the gold fields of southwest Montana Territory. After working gold fields in Colorado he moved on to Deer Lodge and then Bannack, MT in the early 1860’s. He helped found his namesake city of Bozeman, Montana in 1864. Bozeman’s death remains a mystery. His travelling partner, Tom Cover, reported they had been attacked by a band of Blackfeet Indians along the Yellowstone River in April 1867. Inconsistencies in his story have led historians to suspect that Bozeman was killed by Cover himself.

Audrey Anderson

Hubert Dennis

Larry O’Brien

In 1960, Audrey moved to Bozeman and purchased the only locally-owned pizza place. Over the next 30 years, Audrey’s Pizza Oven employed scores of young people and provided a venue for hundreds of first dates. She still tossed pizza dough in the air at age 88.

Hubert Dennis began boxing at age 16. Dennis rapidly learned the intricacies of boxing, and after only six amateur lightweight matches, he turned pro. Nicknamed “Kid” and the “Bozeman Wildcat,” Dennis racked up over 100 fights during his career, losing only 10.

Bozeman’s favorite electric streetcars motorman was Larry O’Brien. O’Brien became a living alarm clock, taking extra time on his trips to stop his streetcar and awaken sleepy patrons whom he knew were planning to board his trolley on the return trip.

The BCNA is divided into 5 districts.

LIVING TOGETHER Unless your mom and dad bought you a private condo before you started college you will have to deal with roommates along the way. Hope for the best, but expect and prepare for the worst. Set limits and guidelines and you’ll do just fine!

The average person in the United States is expected to move 11.4 times in his lifetime.

e prepared to be interrogated in order to rent a property in Bozeman. Most rental agencies will require an application, proof of income, including permanent employment of at least 4 months at the same job, verifiable good credit, rental history and a security deposit, plus pet deposit if you are bringing Fido along. Keep in mind this is good practice for when you actually want to buy a home, even more will be required of you. You will no doubt need a roommate, or likely multiple roommates, to cover the high cost of rent in the Bozeman area. Be prepared for the wide variety of personalities this place has to offer! One of my college roommates was found by placing a card on a board in the SUB. His southern customs were far foreign to my Montana ways, and the age difference between us created quite a unique situation. Once he realized his financial aid had run out he split for the South, but not before introducing me to hemp necklace creation, World Series fanaticism and squirrel recipe preparation. Another roommate, this time found from a note card left on the co-op bulletin board, introduced me to my favorite band, Chinese kites and the Food Bank.

Roommates can be awesome, and then again not so much, be sure to have a good attitude going into any relationship that requires sharing close quarters for an extended period of time. There are a few simple things you can do to be/become a good roommate: Pickup after yourself: Don’t hoard dirty dishes in your room until they are overwhelmingly smelly and then pile them next to the common area sink and expect your roommates to clean them for you! Do your laundry regularly and remove it from the laundry area immediately. Plan a cleaning schedule with your roommate(s) and know who is expected to do what, and when. Split the utilities: Set up a plan in advance of who is responsible for what utility, or what portion of the utilities the roommates are responsible for. Set a deadline and stick to it. Do not let anyone slide on payment, if they fail to pay once chances are they’ll do it again. Don’t overstep your boundaries: Don’t have too many friends over too often. Talk about how comfortable you are with guests sleeping over. Restock items used by your guests. Best of Luck! D

Your mom isn’t going to clean your house ...get used to cleaning up after yourself Gallatin Valley Guide 2016-17

Nothing can quite prepare you for having roommates in college. Here are a few types of roommates to try and avoid if possible. Mr. Terrible Taste in Music

Mr. Terrible Taste in Music is terribly happy about possessing a very questionable music collection, He can usually be found listening to it at excessive volume. Don’t hesitate to share your own music, but if people do not like it, respect that and do not continue to play terrible music at what ever volume you feel appropriate.

Miss Passive Aggressive

The roommate who is so scared of any type of conflict, that they would rather send cryptically worded text messages or leave coded yellow Post-its around your shared space. This roommate appreciates your reciprocating in kind.

Mr. Wild Card

Wild cards can often be the most concerning roommates of all. You never know what family traditions may be brought into your house. Be prepared for a frozen squirrel in the mail from his mom from Tennessee so he can make some squirrel soup. True story.

Mr. Snoop

This kind of roommate dispises privacy. He looks through everything and leaves you to lock your doors and reset your passwords. The second stage of Mr. Snoop is Mr. Your Stuff is My Stuff.

Miss Slob

You will know you live with Miss Slob when you haven’t been able to see your kitchen sink for weeks and you live in daily fear of opening your fridge. A motto of Miss Slob is: “Why pick up after myself?” After all, she’s got you.

Miss Neat Freak

This roommate thinks that she is the cleanest person in the world. Miss Neat Freak always has her room extra clean, including but most certainly not limited to, her bed, her laundry and her kitchen looks like a pro chef’s cooking show. Miss Neat Freak mom sent her to school with a twelve month supply of Lysol wipes, and she is not afraid to use them. She also is there to help organize your mess with you.

Mr. Clingon

“What are you doing after class? Want to go get dinner together again?” Mr. Clingon figures there is no need at all for his own friends now that he’s got you. If you don’t mind, he’d like to come with you to that party like last weekend. Why bother with lame so called boundaries? Isn’t it clear to you that the cosmos put the two of you in this roommate situation for a reason?

Miss Hermit Crab

You saw Miss Hermit Crab the day and day after you both moved in, but since then you often question if she is still your roommate, and you feel like you are living alone. When you do get to see Miss Hermit Crab, it’s usually only for a few minutes, and then she goes back into her room/dungeon area. Don’t contemplate her too much when you move out and get “normal roommates”.

Mr. Hipster

Mr. Hipster roommate just got all new school clothes for college, and can be found carrying a long board around town. He lives on peach smoothies and organic pizza, and wants to live in ‘North Bozeman’. Mr. Hipster’s man bun is squarely placed on the crown of his head. Other names for the man bun include: bro bun, mun, or dude bun, just in case you need some ammo.

No matter what type of roommate you have, talking problems out and setting boundaries can help you deal with each other. Gallatin Valley Guide 2016-17

LOCAL MUSIC There are a lot of very talented musicians in Bozeman. Many are not represented in these listings but are nonetheless great in their own right. This is just a small sample of some musicians to check out.

Pinky And The Floyd Recently called the Northwest’s Hottest Pink Floyd Tribute Band! Since it’s inception in 2007, Pinky has exploded in popularity, selling out nearly every show in the past 3 years. Their performances strike the perfect balance between intimacy & intensity, and the energy and stage presence is unprecedented. A big sound with an experience not soon forgotten. You can expect albums in their entirety, and a little something from every Floyd genre - from Syd Barrett to Division Bell, and everything in between!

The Kitchen Dwellers The Kitchen Dwellers are one of Bozeman’s most wellknown and loved bands, selling out shows and delighting audiences throughout the Northwest for close to four years, and they have no plans on slowing down anytime soon. Last summer the group spent most of their time on the road, placed in the finals of multiple band competitions, and played to audiences as far away as Oregon to Maryland.

Hooligans Formed in 1990, Hooligans is Montana’s longest running Americana roots rock band. Inspired by the improv driven music of the San Francisco scene as well as early folk, blues and great rock’n’roll Hooligans began gigging around Bozeman in 1982. Crowds have come to expect great Americana, rock, reggae, and blues tunes from artists as varied Bob Marley, Muddy Waters, John Hiatt, Grateful Dead, Traffic, Dylan, Hot Tuna, Van Morrison and The Band as well as lots of spirited jamming throughout. The bands sets are shaped by a genuine affection for a great song played well with lots of wiggle room for band members musical personalities to shine...

The Fossils

The Fossils are a local band from Livingston Montana and are a fan favorite around town. The Fossils are sure to guarantee a rocking good time. The members of the Fossils have all know each other for years and have all been connected for their love of music.

Cure For The Common

Listen to the band’s latest “Electro Thunder Funk” recordings at www. cureforthecommon.bandcamp.com. Band interests include making unique and interesting music in a genre all its own, Getting a crowd to fill that awkward empty space in front of the stage (some call it the dance floor), inspiring people, meeting new friends, traveling to new states (and hopefully soon new countries! And new planets!), improvising in music and in life, sampling delicious microbrews from everywhere we go.

One Leaf Clover

O.L.C.

A.T.C.F

What is Mountain Boogie Rock? It is equal parts funk and country, rock and reggae, music and mountains. It is original songs inspired by life in the Rockies. Known for their high energy shows and playing until the cows come home, O.L.C. is both a testament to and a celebration of mountain life and culture.

As The Crow Flies

As The Crow Flies is a highly energetic and entertaining powerhouse duo that blends the grit of rock n’ roll, the heaviness of metal, and the boogie of the blues. Fueled by their love for music and a Do It Yourself ethic, ATCF finds ways to create their own instruments and stage lighting to give their audiences a unique experience at every show. You can find them online at www.facebook.com/asthecrowflies406

Hawthorne Roots

Defining The Hawthorne Roots can be challenging. Their original songs combine the soft passion in soul and folk with revved up beats from rock and blues. The Hawthorne Roots is led by Madeline Hawthorne and sister Emma Kelly. The band is defined by silvery vocals, tightly woven harmonies, and relentlessly catchy melodies. Listen for the Hawthorne Roots as they expand their repertoire.

Modern Sons

With a wall of sound so thick, the Modern Sons can’t help but captivate their listeners. Each of the four members bring their own layer to a ubiquitously sonic ambience in an attempt to cultivate something organic and new. The four have a dynamic in which they are continually pushing each other to explore new territory using a variety of technological complexities. Lyrically, they cover a wide range of themes with one more recent caveat which is writing music about sustainability, social responsibility, consciousness, and living in the moment.

The Bridger Mountain Big Band

Modern Sons

Gallatin Valley Guide 2016-17

Considered the principal tributary of the upper Missouri, the river and its tributaries drain a wide area stretching from the Rocky Mountains in the vicinity of Yellowstone National Park across the mountains and high plains of southern Montana and northern Wyoming. The river rises in northwestern Wyoming in the Absaroka Range, on the Continental Divide in southwestern Park County. The river starts where the North Fork and the South Fork of the Yellowstone River converge. The North Fork, the larger of the two forks, flows from Younts Peak. The South Fork flows from the southern slopes of Thorofare Mountain. The Yellowstone River flows northward through Yellowstone National Park, feeding and draining Yellowstone Lake, then dropping over the Upper and Lower Yellowstone Falls at the head of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone within the confines of the park. The river emerges from the mountains near the town of Livingston, where it turns eastward and northeastward, flowing across the northern Great Plains past Billings.

The Madison River

The Madison River is a headwater tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 183 miles long. The Madison rises at the confluence of the Firehole and Gibbon rivers, a location known as Madison Junction in Yellowstone National Park. In its upper reaches in Gallatin County, Montana, the Hebgen Dam forms Hebgen Lake. In its middle reaches in Madison County, Montana, the Madison Dam forms Ennis Lake and provides hydroelectric power. The river was named in July 1805 by Meriwether Lewis at Three Forks, after U.S. Secretary of State James Madison.

The Jefferson River

The Jefferson River is a tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 83 miles long. The Jefferson River and the Madison River form the official beginning of the Missouri at Missouri Headwaters State Park near Three Forks. It is joined 0.6 miles downstream by the Gallatin. From broad valleys to a narrow canyon, the Jefferson River passes through a region of significant geological diversity, with some of the oldest and youngest rocks of North America and a diversity of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary formations. The region was only intermittently inhabited by Native Americans until relatively recent times, and no single tribe had exclusive use of the Jefferson River when the Lewis and Clark Expedition first ascended the river in 1805.
