ramblings By: René Huge
Rational vs. emotional: men, women wired differently Equal rights, schmequal rights. In case no one has noticed, we are not. Men and women are not equal in every way. Men are men. Women are women. In case you haven’t noticed – we are definitely different. For starters, remember XY and a Y?
We are composed of different physical attributes like extra ribs and chromosomes, just to name a few. Men are generally stronger than women. Women are usually softer and curvier than men. We’re wired differently – emotional vs. rational and
Stillwater art on display in October For the month of October, the Carbon County Arts Guild in Red Lodge will feature the annual show of the Stillwater Society. The Stillwater Society is a group of 15 artists who gather regularly for mutual support and to view one another’s work in progress. Formed in 1985 as a small group of five artists, they took their name from the fact that all of the original members lived or had summer homes in the Rock Creek/ East Rosebud/Stillwater River region. They found the mountain landscapes and the ranch country there a rich source of subject matter for their paintings. Included in the Stillwater Society today are Mary Blain, Mary Lee Darby, Elliott Eaton, Marilyn
Hughes Pinkerton, Jerry Inman, Jacquie Kittson, Nellie Israel, Harry Koyama, Maggie Mackay, Diana Mysse, E Denney NeVille, John Pollock, Luci Scott, PJ Smith and Ben Steele. All members of the society have exhibited their work widely and several members have won national recognition for their work. The members of the society work in a number of different styles and in several media. The exhibit is free and open to all during the Guild’s normal hours, Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.5 p.m. and Sunday, noon-5 p.m. Meet the artists Saturday, Oct. 4, during an afternoon reception 3-5 p.m. The reception is free and open to everyone.
sensitive vs. practical. These are good things and I’m OK with that. Do I want to be able to hold my own? Of course I do. Do I want to have to be dependent on a man to do all the things I need done? No, I don’t. But is it nice when a man can do the heavy lifting for you, fix your weary bicycle, solve the plumbing problem in your house, change the light bulb or hold you with his big, strong arms and make you feel safe in them? Yes, it is. I like that. I also like it when gentlemen hold the door for me or help me out of my coat. We girls need a little extra pampering and there is nothing wrong with that. But pit me against a man in the work arena – a man with the same qualifications, capabilities and experience, and you better believe I want equal rights. In that case, I’m all for them. I believe people equally qualified should receive equal compensation no matter what their gender. And, undoubtedly, women should be able to vote. Thank goodness Wyoming got that under control early on. Never mind the true original motivation behind the
precedent-setting mandate. We got the ball rolling for the rest of the country and that was a good thing. Women should serve in the military if they want. But they also need to remember it’s a simple fact that we are wired differently. Not that we require “special” treatment in those situations, but some women simply may not be equally equipped as their male counterpart to do all the necessary tasks in some of those categories. But if they are – then more power to them – treat them equally. We aren’t the same. No one is. And maybe that’s the moral of the story. But it’s my hope that chivalry is not dead and that we still teach our children different ways to exemplify that trait. And for the woman who get mad because a gentleman holds the door open for her or pulls out a chair for her – go check yourself. That’s ridiculous. It’s a courteous gesture meant only to show respect. Much of our society has lost sight of that sort of chivalry and how it can make the world a brighter place. There is no harm shown in those sorts of actions – only respect and kindness. And I think we can all agree the world needs more of both.

By SCOTT ALLEN Staff writer Friendly chatter fills the air as the paint brushes dab an empty canvas. No one is an expert painter, yet exquisite work is seen throughout Buffalo Jump Winery at the Sip & Paint event. “I like hanging out with friends while having a fun time painting,” Vickey Philips, a nurse from Cody, said. Philips, 51, is among 30 others who escape their hectic lives to come and paint. Becky Tilden, co-owner of Buffalo Jump Winery, says they started their first Sip & Paint last year. “We started our first one in November and we haven’t looked back,” Tilden said. Being able to wind down after a full day of work is necessary for people, Tilden says. “It’s therapeutic because it allows people to use both sides of their brain,” she said. “They’re painting, talking and laughing. It’s a fun time for everyone.” The event, which can feature private groups up to 75 people, cost $35 for a blank canvas, brushes, paint and an instructor to lead the class. Wine is additional, but painters are offered a discount. Cindy Cooley, an aquatic specialist at Gottsche rehabilitation, showed her painting “Bluebell Road” during the demonstration. The purple and green-dominate painting consists of eight colors: white, purple, green, blue, teal, orange, red and yellow. It is mainly done by layering the colors on top of one another using a sponge. “This particular painting is done with a sponge and a lot of colors,” Cooley said. “You use

Attendees at a recent Sip & Paint session at Buffalo Jump Winery focus on their paintings. some brushes but it’s mainly done with a sponge.” The painting, which took a little over two hours to complete, is a picturesque scene that mimics a back road, but it isn’t based off of any real life location. “It wasn’t from any spot in real life,” Cooley said. “I made it up in my imagination.” Cooley is one of five artists who instruct at the Sip & Paint. The artists are local, coming from both Cody and Powell. “We work with five artists from around the area and those instructors all have other jobs,” Tilden said. “They’re not professional artists.” The event runs ThursdayMonday. The Sip & Paint on Sunday afternoons is $25 per canvas and it allow families to come and paint together. “We’ll have a mother and child painting together or a
father and child together,” Tilden said. They have team building Sip & Paints, which offer various groups a chance to reserve an area for themselves. “Just the other day, we had 61 first-graders,” Tilden said. Families are regularly seen at the Sip & Paint. Fabio Soto, a 21-year-old self-employed entrepreneur from Powell, attended the Sip & Paint for the first time with his family. He says he’s never taken an art class, but he enjoyed himself. “It’s actually pretty fun,” Soto said. “A lot more fun than I was expecting.” Couples are also common at the Sip & Paint. Vernel Gail, a disabled 45-year-old stay-at-home dad from Cody, celebrated his 19th anniversary with his wife Penny at the Sip & Paint.
They were both first-time attendees. “I love it,” Penny said. “She’s way more into it than I am, but I’m having a good time,” Vernal added. Painters are encouraged to think outside of the box and use any colors they choose. Cooley opens the creativity door by flipping her painting upside down, mid-demonstration. “I want you to look at your painting differently,” Cooley said. “So you can see it in another way.” Tilden says Cooley does a good job conveying the easygoing class. “They learn techniques but it’s in a fun atmosphere,” Tilden said. “It’s not teachy-preachy.” For information on the class or a calendar of events, visit buffalojumpwinery.com/ SipNPaint.html

‘Peripheral 36’ on display at Northwest Sarah Williams credits the images and theme of her exhibit “Peripheral 36”, currently hanging in the gallery through Oct. 17, to her rural Midwestern roots. “Being raised in a small town and then moving to an urban setting has made me aware of the seemingly mundane, anonymous scenes existing on the periphery that tend to be ignored,” Williams said. “Strong emotions can be prompted by a place. Over time, ways of life shape and define the people and the spaces in which they live. I am drawn to areas and structures that show character acquired from the history and memory of the people that formed that environment.” She suggests this acquired character in her paintings by bestowing a Noiresque quality to an empty sandwich shop with its lights shining out on a vacant parking lot, or a lonely ATM niched in the side of a building, and even in images of houses dressed up for Christmas. Her landscape paintings are described as a “uniquely focused view of the world” by Texas artist Robert Jessup. “Her pictures do not depict picturesque views,” Jessup said. “Rather they create scenes cinematic in their mood, setting and sense of impending drama. Her paintings often depict lonely places, the air thick with isolation and dread, like an image by Hopper crossed with a scene from a Coen brothers’ movie. “In her night paintings, the ramshackle buildings and storage sheds, battered signs and water towers, glow with an ominously mysterious life under the nighttime illumination. What isn’t seen is as important as what is and points to the real subject of these paintings: the heavy presence of the impenetrable night.” Big Horn Basin residents are invited to meet the artist at a 7
“Sunset Hill Road” is an example of how painter Sarah Williams adds cinematic qualities to images. p.m. reception Tuesday, Oct. 7, in Northwest Gallery. Williams’ work has been exhibited from California to New York, but most often in Texas and Missouri. The subject of several magazine and newspaper articles, she’s been an artist in residence in the Vermont Studio Center and at Ucross in Wyoming. Williams is an assistant professor at Missouri State University in Springfield and holds degrees from the University of North Texas and William Woods University. Northwest Gallery is located in the Cabre Building at NWC. Williams’ paintings can be during normal gallery hours from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays and 7-9 p.m. Thursday.

Honkie Tonk Heroes By GREG ELLISON Staff writer “Doc” Jones enjoys sharing his diverse musical interests. The keyboard player and singer from the Honkie Tonk Heroes believes this contributes to the band’s appeal. “I think it’s the variety and attention to detail in what we play that keeps people coming back,” he said. Honkie Tonk Heroes played a recent gig during Boot, Scoot ’N Boogie outside Pat O’Hara’s. A first anniversary street party was held to celebrate Pat O’Hara’s initial year in business. Jones is friends with the owners. “They are great folks and I’m happy they are succeeding,” he said. The self-described “funkabilly” band provided music, while patrons enjoyed beer and barbecue. More than once, bass player Harry Hagen, fully utilizing a wireless pickup, thumps his way into the crowd. Fans and friends enjoyed a close look at his fingering. While it is a crowd pleaser, the underlying purpose is to listen to the sound for any needed adjustments, Jones said. The band began as a trio and traces its roots to a Thursday night jam band session at the Irma Hotel. The original band members are Rod Howard, guitar and vocals; Harry Hagen, bass and vocals; with Tom Buckner on drums. The group started playing at the Silver Dollar in 2008. During summer 2010 Doc joined the line-up. He had just come off of touring with Bobby Chitwood. “When we play at the Silver Dollar we do see familiar faces, as well as new ones” Jones said.
The band has “so many songs under their belt” that people don’t hear the same songs often, he said. During Boot, Scoot ’N Boogie, the audience was treated to a nice blend of hits and obscure songs from artists such as Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robert Earl Keen, Allman Brothers Band, Johnny Cash, the Marshall Tucker Band and Steve Earle. Buckner says every band member has a musical background and tries to avoid playing only hit songs. “We said let’s start playing B-sides,” Buckner said. Fans such as Karissa Dooley, 26, of Cody like the band’s stage presence. “They usually play good rock music,” she said. “They talk to the crowd a lot and engage them.” Gary Kelly, 66, of Cody has seen the band in the past. “It’s dance music with rock influence,” he said. “If you look at the crowd, everyone’s having a good time with the music.” All members have day jobs that keep them busy between gigs. Somehow Jones works time in to perform, in a duo, with Rod Howard. The two “play all over town” Jones said. Regular haunts include the Irma Hotel, Millstone Pizza, the Silver Dollar and Zapata’s. While there might be less to do in Cody over the winter, one thing you can do is catch Howard and Jones perform. You can see them on many Friday or Saturday nights at the Irma or Millstone Pizza. But before winter weather hits, more full band shows are planned. The Honkie Tonk Heroes will play at the Silver Dollar on Friday and Saturday, on Oct. 3-4.

The remains of a fully engraved Henry rifle are displayed at the Cody Dug Up Gun Museum.
DUG UP GUN MUSEUM By TRAVIS SMOLA Staff writer The rusty guns in the cases have a mysterious history. There’s the 1816 musket that was found growing into a tree. An old German Luger, still loaded, apparently exploded in its user’s hand in World War II. The guns are a part of the displays at the Cody Dug Up Gun Museum. “There’s no doubt the history is there,” said museum owner Hans Kurth. “But what exactly happened?” Many of the firearms in the displays were found half-cocked or even still loaded. Some are rusted beyond recognition, some are even smashed or burned. The mystery is part of the allure of collecting relic firearms for Kurth. “You just have to assume someone was slugging it out with someone else,” he said. Hans and his wife Eva started the museum in 2009. The firearms displayed are the result of a growing collection Hans has been building since childhood. The collection now consists of more than 1,000 relics. Firearms cover a variety of historical periods. The American Revolution, Civil War and both World Wars are well-represented. The 1816 musket is one of Kurth’s favorites. He says the mystery of how it ended up in the tree is the most intriguing part of it. “People just didn’t joke around back then,” Kurth said. He says it would be unusual for someone to leave such a valuable item behind on purpose. A favorite with visitors is a Maxim Machine gun from World War I. “That’s an iconic gun,” Kurth said. “It changed warfare completely.”
He says in the Battle of Verdun between the French and Germans, the French army lost 40,000 troops to the weapon in the first half hour of battle. “They were super deadly,” Kurth said. “Those poor kids, they didn’t know.” In Western history, the collection includes some guns found near Custer Battlefield. One of the rarest guns in the collection is an engraved Henry lever-action rifle, Kurth says. The normal Henry rifles were expensive at the time, he says. An engraved rifle was something special, and were generally owned by notable people. “Why would that gun be out of the home?” Kurth said. “How would it get lost?” Cases are filled not just with guns, but also with artifacts from each era featured. The World War II case includes old shell casings, shrapnel fragments, barbed wire, bayonets and helmets. Displays of “old West” guns include old bottles, antlers, newspapers and signs. In keeping with the dug up theme, all are displayed on dirt. Some parts of the displays feature live cacti plants for a touch of authenticity. Kurth is a carpenter, and he built all the displays himself. His wife Eva typed up all the information cards displayed next to each of them. That, by itself, was a huge chore, she says. The collection is still growing. “We’re buying, and always adding,” Eva said. There are still some notable guns that haven’t been added to the collection yet. There’s a German P38 pistol that was found with the wreckage of a crashed airplane. A Colt single-action
A Remington Arms Co. Model 1875 Single-Action Army Revolver is one of many guns from the Old West revolver that may have belonged to Butch Cassidy is another gun of note. The revolver is said to have been found at the site of a mining office robbery in Utah. Kurth says the gun was found under a stairway that Cassidy and his accomplice ran down in their escape. Another Colt single action revolver has a more mysterious past. Kurth says it simply came with a tag stating it was found with a Winchester rifle and a sack of money at the Wild Bunch gang’s famous Hole-in-the-Wall hideout. That’s all the information Kurth has on the notorious revolver. “The gun fits exactly the time period they were in there,” he said. Kurth is looking to add to his collection, or looking for places where he can search for relics. In addition to displaying relics, the
museum also buy s and sells antique guns at the museum. Despite challenges the first few years, Kurth says things have picked up recently. “Word is out. People are coming to Cody to see us,” he said. Visitors are equally intrigued by the displays. “I’ve never seen anything like this, and I’ve hit every weapons-related museum I’ve come across,” said visitor Robert Gates, a retired police officer from Toledo. Casey Edwards owns Xtreme Tattoos, the business right below the museum. He’s a big fan and frequent visitor as well. “That place is awesome. You can feel the history in there,” Edwards said. “If those things could talk, I’d sit and listen to them all day long.”
