Northwest Wyoming Film Series back Jan. 27 for spring season The poignant story of Sudanese boys orphaned by a brutal civil war, “The Good Lie” will open the upcoming winter/ spring season of the Northwest Wyoming Film Series.

The first film, one of eight distinctive movies, will premiere Tuesday, Jan. 27, at Big Horn Cinemas. Each movie will be shown at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on successive Tuesdays through March 17.

“Our goals, as in the past, are to offer signature movies and provide a shared viewing experience for members of the community who wish to see films other than those produced for a mass market,” NWFS board president Peter Hassrick said.

“The board viewed a variety of trailers before selecting the slate of films that will comprise the forthcoming season’s offerings.

We are looking forward to an exciting series.”

More than 200 people joined as NWFS members last fall, entitling them to the fall 2014 and winter/spring 2015 series.

New memberships for just the winter/spring season will be available for $10. The dues help defray the rental costs of the

6

movies and related expenses.

Ticket prices at the door for each feature will be $6 for NWFS members and $10 for non-members.

Checks should be made out to NWFS and sent to P.O. Box 1004, Cody. Memberships also will be sold in the theater lobby preceding the films.

Members will receive weekly emails about the upcoming films. Information about the series will also be available at bighorncinemas.net. Those on Facebook can “like” the NWFS page for more information.

The subsequent seven films will be announced when they’re booked.

This season’s premiere, “The Good Lie”, relates the struggle for survival by “The Lost Boys” during the civil war that began in 1983. The youngsters traveled up to 1,000 miles searching for refuge. In 1998, a humanitarian effort brought 3,600 lost boys and girls to America.

The stars include Sudanese actors Arnold Oceng, Ger Duany, Emmanuel Jal and Nyakuoth Weil along with Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon and Corey Stoll.

Reunion show Jan. 30 in Red Lodge

Montana-based, nationallyrecognized bluegrass band Kane’s River will make a rare appearance Jan. 30 at Red Lodge Pizza Co. Kane’s River is a five-piece acoustic bluegrass band made up of founding members John Lowell (guitar) and David Thompson (bass) from the Bozeman area; along with Julie Elkins (banjo), a Montana native now residing in Raleigh, N.C., Ben Winship (mandolin) of Victor, Idaho, and Jason Thomas (fiddle) of Orlando, Fla. Their music features classic and contemporary themes, killer harmonies and hard-core drive, and it appeals to aficionados of bluegrass, folk and just about any kind of popular music.

Known for their heartfelt original songs and song-by-song mix of lead and harmony vocal–

Kane’s River will perform a rare concert at Red Lodge Pizza Co. this month. The band started in Bozeman, but three of its members are now in other states. ists, Kane’s River moves breezily through a broad range of musical styles, from traditional bluegrass and country to swing and jazz and beyond.

Tim Stafford of the legendary

bluegrass band Blue Highway has called them “intelligent, original, versatile and virtuosic.”

The band has seen a song from each of its albums reach the top 10 on the country’s

National Bluegrass Charts, and past performance highlights include the IBMA Artist Showcase & Fan Fest, Rockygrass, Wintergrass, Targhee Bluegrass, Winfield, and other top festivals and venues around the U.S. and Canada.

The Red Lodge concert begins at 8 p.m. and is presented by Joe and Roxanna Hoch.

“Kane’s River is one of the best bands I’ve ever heard,” Joe said. “They rarely get together any more so this is a chance for a great night of incredible music in Red Lodge.

Individually these musicians are at the top of their game, collectively they will blow your mind. Do not miss this show.”

Tickets can be purchased in advance $20 or at the door $23.

For more information call (406) 446-3333.

Folk musician performs Feb. 2 in Powell m a i l l i W Florian An upbeat, energetic, musical journey of America’s greatest folk and pop songs of the 60s, don’t miss William Florian.

The former New Christy Minstrels group member will be in Powell on Monday, Feb. 2 as part of the Community Concert Series.

The “Those were the Days” show includes music by the New Christy Minstrels along with songs from Peter Paul and Mary, Pete Seeger, the Mamas and the Papas, along with uplifting originals, presented with comedy and amusing stories in an intimate show.

“William is an exceptional performer,” said fan Steve Seither of Placerville, Calif.

“He is not only a gifted and professional musician, but a delightful comedian, as well.

His repertoire is broad and covers the era of 60s folk music well.

“But perhaps most delightful of all, the spirit of that time appears to have stayed with William. He seems to truly believe in the goodness of people, the brotherhood of mankind, and our place as stewards of the earth.”

The concert will be 7:30 p.m. at the Powell High School Auditorium.

Tickets cost $20 for adults and $10 for students. Kids 12 and younger are free.

Tickets will be available in the lobby. They also are on sale in Cody at the Cody chamber, Accents Florals and Treasured Memories, and in Powell at Marquis Awards.

For more information call 527-6122 or (307) 754-4061.

William Florian was part of the New Christy Minstrels in the 1960s.

ramblings By: René Huge

For 15 years my primary vehicle has been a Suburban.

When we got the first one I was reluctant. It went against everything in me except for the old adage I’ve been known to say, “You can live in your car, but you can’t drive your house.”

Today, with the advent of Earthroamers and other similar vehicles, I understand that’s not so much the case anymore. But it didn’t used to be like that.

So, now, I have downsized. For a myriad of reasons, it was time.

My Suburban was almost 10

pulse 11

Selling Suburban causes withdrawal years old and had effortlessly achieved close to 180,000 miles.

Within the first couple of years we drove it to Indiana, California twice and Arizona. And nevermind the many climbing competitions and soccer tournaments.

When you live in Wyoming you drive. It’s just part of our lifestyle.

My Suburban was a faithful servant – as was I to the gas station.

With one less kid at home and a new job that required more driving around the state, I decided I could have a smaller vehicle and a more fuel-efficient one as well.

Thus, began the daunting task of buying a car.

Ugh. I’ve never been one who’s good at making big purchases.

The idea of spending money on big-dollar items paralyzes me.

I was wise enough, how-ever, to recognize this wasn’t going to hap-

pen if I didn’t make it happen so I was off to the races.

I knew I wanted a smaller vehicle that would get better mileage.

This, of course, was before the price of gas began its major plummet.

But now it costs me $40 versus $100 to fill the tank and that’s nice on the pocketbook, especially when you are driving 500 miles a week.

I didn’t want to buy a Subaru.

I test drove several other vehicles and tried to go against the Subaru grain, but for an all-purpose, allwheel drive vehicle that will carry bikes, skis, boards and oxygen tanks, I couldn’t deny the Subaru Outback was a well-rounded choice for this region. But, dang, it’s tiny compared to my previous tank. Don’t get me wrong, I can still get a great deal of junk in

there, but it’s different.

I just have to be more creative.

In fact, right after I brought it home I had a little come-to-Jesus moment at Halloween when I wanted to take the kids and their friends to the Straw Bale Maze – and was shocked to realize I could not. I didn’t have room. I had to borrow a Suburban.

It was a sad moment to realize I was no longer the mom or friend who could volunteer to haul everyone, their dogs and toys to our next destination. My car no longer accommodates such crowds.

There have been some Suburban withdrawal moments for sure, but I just keep telling myself that other old adage, “It’s not about the size, but rather what you can do with it.”

And I’m realizing I can do just fine in my new down-sized mode.
