Peaks to Prairie

The 37th annual Peaks to Prairie race includes a 9-mile run, 49-mile bicycle leg and 10-mile boat dash.
Popular triathlon race April 26 in Red Lodge From the heights of the Beartooth Mountains to the open majesty of the Yellowstone River, don’t miss the 37th annual Peaks to Prairie race Sunday, April 26. This year’s competiton features a course that is certain to challenge all participants. The run leg starts on Beartooth Pass above Red Lodge and covers 9.3 miles into town. The bike leg departs Red Lodge for Columbus, Mont., along MONT 78, covering 49 miles. But because of construction on the highway, race officials may alter the route. The alternative route
would be US 212 to Joliet and then MONT 421 to Columbus. The bike leg transitions to the boat leg at Itch-Kep-Pe Park, and boaters dash the remaining 10 miles to Special K Ranch, where final festivities are held. Festivities will include music by The Brickhouse Band, massage by Body Mechanix and a kids race by Gym Jay. There also will be food, and tours of the Special K Ranch greenhouses. Competitors can choose between the triathlon that covers these three legs, or a duathlon that covers only the first two legs.
The fastest way to run this gauntlet is to provide a fresh body for each leg. Pull together a group and take on the adventure as a team. There are categories for male, female, mixed and “fun” (family, tandem – no medals awarded) teams; open and masters age divisions; and sport or racing qualifications (based on length of boat used). If you are feeling up to the ultimate challenge, consider participating as a soloist. For more information or to register visit peakstoprairie.org.
Brickhouse Band plays
The Brickhouse Band, a Billings rhythm and blues outfit, will play at the Peaks to Prairie post race festival at Special K Ranch on April 26. “We are a cover band and play everything from Eric Clapton to Pharell Williams, Sweet Alabama to Blurred Lines,” band member Lloyd Marsh says. Other band members are Sal Garibay, James Walton, Megan McLeod, Robin Martinez and Lloyd Marsh.

Don’t miss this charming quintet April 27 in Cody “M5 is the best thing to come out of Mexico since tequila,” says Martin Hackelman of the Principal Horn National Symphony Orchestra. Since its founding in 2005, Metales M5 Mexican Brass has established itself as Mexico’s leading brass quintet with international recognition. The group will be in Cody on Monday, April 27, for the final performance of the Community Concert Association season. Combining their skills at virtuosic chamber music in all styles, non-stop interaction with the audience, inborn showmanship, inimitable Latin American charm and their own sound, M5 concerts are special musical-theatrical concert experiences. The group has been extensively touring the U.S. and Canada since 2008. M5 made its South America debut in 2012 in Cartagena, Colombia, performed for the first time in Africa in 2013 in Algeria and in China in December 2014. Being one of Mexico’s most active cultural ambassadors, Metales M5 will have their debut at Kennedy Center in
Washington, D.C., in 2015. M5 has performed with worldwide renowned musicians like Fred Mills and Jens Lindemann. “M5’s infectious enthusiasm for performing and impeccable playing should be heard around the world,” Lindermann said. In the 2013-14 season, the quintet performed educational concerts for more than 25,000 kids in the U.S., Mexico and Canada. An increasing number of contemporary composers write new works for M5. The group is made up of Alexander Freund and Oscar Villegas on trumpet, Juan Carlos Quiterio Miguel on French horn, Jose Lopez Juarez on tuba and Roberto Carlos Cruz on trombone. The concert will be at 7:30 p.m. in Wynona Thompson Auditorium. Tickets will be on sale in the lobby for $20 for adults and $10 for students. Children 12 and younger are free. They are available at the Cody chamber, Accents Floral and Treasured Memories in Cody, and Marquis Awards in Powell, or by calling 5276122 or (307) 754-4061.

In the stars April 19-25 ARIES (March 21-April 19). Though you put much effort into getting to a certain result, you would be wise not to reveal how much went into it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). With all the good you’ll do this week it will be helpful to have friends around you ready to take your picture at the slightest provocation. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Talent speaks while it is in action, but talented people cannot always bridge the social gap in real life. That’s why they need socially talented people like you to help them connect. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The craving to be appreciated doesn’t make you weak; it makes you human. I Use this dynamic to your advantage as you observe and value others this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Over the next three days, you’ll be particularly vulnerable. If you needed an excuse to be unavailable to selfish people, feel free to use this as your pass. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When it comes to social order, everything matters. Your sensitivity to these kinds of intricacies will mean more than you know. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s not really your style to make extravagant demands, and yet when you do make requests, they will change people’s minds and expectations. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You realize the benefit of working the room, and you take such things very seriously, even though you never act like that is the case. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are being watched and listened to by those who can promote and help you, and also by those who have the power to bring you down. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). This week you’ll be attentive, trying to read the signals that help you stay connected. Connection will bring you great joy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This week you will think of things in terms of attraction or repulsion, and this will change your way of relating to people. There’s a balance to be struck. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Some of it was for fun, and some of it was out of necessity, but now is your week to buckle down, get to work and make back some of that money you’ve been spending. If you were born this week, ver the next 10 weeks, a long shot will come through for you. Life will take on a new trajectory.
di V ersio N S
April 26-May 2 ARIES (March 21-April 19). These days it’s nearly impossible to “tune in” until after you’ve turned off your text and email alerts. Real human connection will be your rich reward. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This week brings influences that will shake up your perception and help you bust free of the mindset and point of view that entrap you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have the ability to mentally leap ahead like a master chess player strategizing the end game, though this kind of projection might not help you as much as you hope it will. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Too bad nonphysical phenomena are so difficult to measure. You’ll try your darndest with this week’s experiments in joy and spirituality. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone has cast you in a role you don’t know much about. Once you comprehend the dynamic, you’ll either execute brilliantly or decide you want nothing to do with the role. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Personal development coaches espouse taking time to get to know yourself, but the truth is that self-knowledge rarely comes out of a leisurely exploration. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whenever things get super-dull this week, take it as a blessing. This will motivate your next venture into greatness. Lucky partners in creativity are Pisces and Leo. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A special relationship will require that you give yourself over to it. It’s not such a comfortable feeling, but your willingness to be uncomfortable will be, at the end of the day, what makes the commitment heroic. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A focus change is called for this week. The human brain is wired to remember bad experiences more vividly than good ones. Reversing the tendency takes work. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sure, there are skills to be learned and improvements to make, but there’s much to be celebrated about the person you already are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Love may grow over time, but it’s not the time that’s making it grow -- it’s the emotional progression, each stage unfolding in order like beautiful choreography. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). This week you will be extra-mindful to check in with and take care of the emotional well-being of others to the extent that you can. At the least, you make the environment cheery. If you were born this week it’s your year for getting into better physical and emotional shape. Complementary relationships help this.

ramblings By: René Huge
Awakened by the busy chirping birds outside my bedroom window, I recently was reminded that summer rapidly is approaching. My stomach fills with a nervous knot. I know that probably sounds odd – being that most of us revere the pending change of seasons with giddy glee. But let me explain. We’ll begin with time in general and how quickly it passes. I prefer to avoid cliches but lose the battle regularly because they are repeatedly apropos and, in this case, inarguably correct. Time flies when you’re having fun. OK, not every day is fun, some days actually kind of suck but, in the grand scheme of things, not many.

Time flies when you’re having fun Time in general just seems to be propelling past me at the speed of light with no signs of slowing down. I’ve given this some thought during my increasing years and have concluded there is no one out there who can argue the fact that the older we get the faster time passes. I believe it has to do with how full our lives become as we go through life. We accumulate birthdays and cushion them with life experiences. It’s kind of like one of my other favorites – when you have a hard time remembering a person’s name it could be simply because your name bank is full. There comes a point when you have to forget a few people to make room for new ones. I don’t know if this is really true or not (I liked it, so I stole the theory from a wise woman a long time ago) or if it’s just me excusing my occasional ineptitude in that department. But it kind of makes sense and gives one
We just peck away at it and do our best to mark off achievements – one by one. pause to ponder. But, back to that pit in my stomach. The point of all this is, I become simultaneously nervous, excited and eager to fill each upcoming moment of summery sunshiney days with fun – and then I begin to panic. It’s not even May yet and my weekends are practically full with my wanna-do list. There’s just not enough time. We only have a finite amount of this valuable commodity and my goal is to pack it in. And I fear there still will never be enough time for everything on the list. We just peck away at it
and do our best to mark off achievements – one by one, like the overflowing name bank – mark one off so another one can move up. So while that nervous knot settles in, it is with eager anticipation that it unfurls into another (hopefully) funfilled experience. (Gotta start somewhere, right?) And like the robin that’s been tenaciously pecking away at my window the last couple of mornings in an attempt to break on through to the other side – we too shall do the same. Keep pecking away – or die trying – because life truly is so good and we’ve got to live it. The clock is ticking.
Learn watercolor painting techniques with artist Elliott Eaton Artist Elliott Eaton will host an all-day watercolor painting workshop at the Carbon County Arts Guild in Red Lodge. For this workshop Saturday, April 25, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Eaton will focus on watercolor painting techniques for landscapes. He will discuss perspective and color and demonstrate ways to successfully incorporate these concepts into a watercolor painting. For the workshop, participants will paint from photographs. Eaton studied at Montana State University and his early years were influenced by Billings artists Leroy Green and Ben Steele. Eaton has moved around south-central
Montana, but stays close to his favorite scenery, the Beartooth Mountains, the East Rosebud area, Paradise Valley and the beautiful streams and landscapes around the mountains and mountain foothills. He has had work juried into the Arts in the National Parks Top 100 national competition and has pieces in the permanent collection of Yellowstone Art Center. The workshop is open to painters of all experience levels including those new to the watercolor medium. To reserve your seat and get the supply list call the Guild, (406) 446-1370. Cost for members is $50 and $65 for non-members.
