Prince of Monaco Visit marks 100th anniversary of Prince Albert I’s hunt By HEIDI HANSEN Staff writer rince Albert II of Monaco will attend the 2013 Buffalo Bill Center of the West Patrons Ball on Saturday, Sept. 21, during a trip to Cody Country celebrating wildlife and adventure. His trip commemorates the 100-year anniversary of his great-great-grandfather’s famous hunting trip with William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody north of Pahaska Tepee in 1913. “What both visits – from Prince Albert I and now Prince Albert II – should call to our attention is the fact that this is a truly special place,” said Dr. Charles Preston, Ph.D., Draper Museum of Natural History senior and founding curator. Arriving in Cody on Sunday, Sept. 15, as part of a longer trip to the U.S., Albert II will spend several days in the area retracing his great-great-grandfather’s footsteps with plans for horseback riding and a tour of the Big Horn Basin. This will be Albert II’s second visit to Cody. He came in August 1993 to mark the 80th anniversary of the original hunting trip. But Albert II shares more than a name and taste in travel with his great-greatgrandfather. Both are well-known in the fields of environmental conservation. “Albert I was quite the renaissance man. He was a ruler, but he was also a scientist and explorer,” Preston said. “One hundred years later Prince Albert II also loves the outdoors. He too is an avid conservationist.” Albert I showed concern for defores-

tation and over-fishing of ocean waters during his time as ruler of Monaco. Prince Albert II has carried on that legacy by creating the Prince Albert II Foundation for environmental protection and sustainable development. During a private luncheon and later at the Patrons Ball, Albert II will introduce the winners of a $100,000 research grant funded by a partnership between his namesake foundation, the Draper Museum of Natural History and the University of Wyoming Biodiversity Institute. Former UW graduate student and Yale postdoctoral associate Arthur Middleton, Ph.D., and National Geographic photographer and Emmy winner Joe Riis will use the “Camp Monaco Prize” to conduct comprehensive research on elk migration patterns. The pair will work with state agencies such as Wyoming Game and Fish and produce a documentary on the research. Preston says “Rediscovering the Elk Migrations of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem: A Project of Transboundary Science and Outreach,” will “get at the heart” of an important topic of local and international debate answering where elk are going and how their migration has changed over time. “(The ‘Camp Monaco’ prize) is something special to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the hunting trip,” Preston said. “We wanted to do something innovative to stimulate fresh thinking and fresh approaches by crossing boundaries.”

Prince Albert II of Monaco arrives in Cody on Sept. 15.

Albert I was quite the renaissance man. He was a ruler, but he was also a scientist and explorer. One hundred years later Prince Albert II also loves the outdoors. He too is an avid conservationist.

By AMBER PEABODY Special sections editor ow in its fifth year, local people especially look forward the Boot, Scoot ’N Boogie. “Everything seems to be going a little easier this year,” said co-chair Jeanne Nelson of the Plush Pony. “We’ve had people coming to us about wanting to be part of if. It’s getting well established.” The outdoor, downtown event will be 3-8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 19, on Sheridan Avenue. Many vendors and merchants are participating in the street festival, which showcases the local arts community and area businesses. A variety of artisans – including painters, photographers, sculptors, quilters and weavers – will demonstrate their talents during the evening. “It’s such an artistic week so we wanted to focus more on art this year,” said cochair Doug Nordberg of North Mountain Gallery. “We’re actively pursuing more artists to demonstrate their work. Watching the process of how something is made is always interesting.” Most downtown stores will be open during the event and merchants also will be taking to the streets. People also can enjoy live music, great food and beverages.

The fifth annual event is Thursday, Sept. 19, on Sheridan Avenue. “It’s a good opportunity to see what Cody shops are offering new,” Nordberg said. The popular fashion show begins at 6:30 p.m. in the 1300 block and features area merchants. This year’s fundraiser during the event will be pedestals created by 10 local artists.

“This year we’re adding a ‘buy it now’ process,” Nordberg said. “If people see a pedestal they want they can go ahead and buy it.” Money raised from the fundraiser will go back into the Cody community. Organizers are hoping to purchase a sound system to be installed downtown. It would be used to play music during

the day, as well as for announcements and emergencies. “That way people shopping could have music 12 months a year,” Nelson adds. For the latest information check out the Boot Scoot ‘N Boogie down Main Street page on Facebook, or call Nordberg, 272-5319, or Nelson, 587-4677.

Taylor Leather Legends features ‘wearable art’ designs

By AMBER PEABODY Special sections editor arge Taylor has a passion for creating wearable art. Each piece at the Fromberg, Mont., designer’s store, Leather Legends, is hand-crafted with exquisite design and meticulous attention to detail. “My focus has always been to be different and Western,” she said. “I love it. I want to keep it Western, wild and special. Everyone should have special things.” Leather Legends designers have many years of experience in leather garment, chap making and pattern design. Taylor has been at it for a half-century, making her first pair of chaps at age 19. “I wanted to go to design school when I was just a pup of 15, but my dad wouldn’t send me,” she says. “When I married Russ Taylor he had made one pair of chaps – and then we started making chaps all the time.” Once, when her husband was away for work, she secretly advertised chaps. “I had so many chap orders that I couldn’t keep up,” she adds. “Then I had to tell him.” She moved to Fromberg in 1984, opening an antique store and later added a bakery where she and daughter Tammy also served gourmet Saturday dinners. She also continued working with leather. Eventually, she and her daughter dove back into the Western wear business with Leather Legends. Along with chaps, they also make a variety of clothing including dresses, and jackets, pants, shirts, vests and coats for men and women. “I can’t think of anything I don’t enjoy about it,” Marge says. “It’s just fabulous to be able to create something out of leather.” Their items have been worn by rodeo world champions, Miss Rodeo America contestants and other hard-working folks. Some of their items are on display in the Rodeo Hall of Fame. They also made brown chaps for the movie “The Horse Whisperer” featuring inset horse-hair, a tooled belt and twisted fringe down both legs. Buckskin, which comes from deer and antelope, is one of Taylor’s favorite leathers. Because buckskin stretches well, they like to take the stretch out of it before making a garment. The weight and suppleness of this leather lets it drape better than most. “Our buckskin clothing is beautiful, tough and versatile,” she adds. With all the details on her pieces it often takes a few weeks to get each one finished. Taylor has been part of the fashion show in Cody for several years, first in the Western Design Conference and then Cody High Style. In 2000, Leather Legends won Designer of the Year honors for a pair of wooly black angora batwing chaps. “I love the people in Cody,” she said. “Their roots are so deep and fine, there isn’t words for it.” Her work for this year’s show includes two riding skirts, one hand-painted and the other wool, and a vest and jacket with horse hair inlays. “I have a vague idea of what I want to do and then we just start to put it together,” she said. “That’s how I do all my projects.”

Honored Chairs September 16, 2013 – Rendezvous Royale – Page B-5

Lenox and Fran Baker are the Honored Chairs of this year’s Buffalo Bill Art Show and Sale. painted by Mike Poulsen of Cody. In their collection are works by Reid Christie, Linda Lillegraven and Charles Ringer, this year’s featured artist. The Ringer sculpture contains silhouettes of ranch figures on revolving circular bands, an outdoor piece. “I’m glad he’s being honored,” Lenox said. “It’s an unusual work, and he’s a delightful fellow.” They especially enjoy the Quick Draw and the opportunity to get to know the artists. One year, Lenox recalled, the weather turned wintry the morning of the outdoor event and a stranger, noticing Fran’s discomfort, loaned her his jacket. The Good Samaritan was former Wyoming governor Mike Sullivan of Casper. At the Quick Draw two years ago,

they met then-governor Dave Freudenthal. Lenox remarks on the advantage of the state’s sparse population. “It’s small enough that you get to know your politicians,” he said. The close community also facilitates easy involvement. Fran has joined several social organizations and serves on the boards of the West Park Hospital Foundation and Park County Historical Society. Lenox was elected to the hospital board representing Meeteetse. “This is a welcoming community,” Lenox said. When at home on the Pitchfork, he stays physically active with ranch work and reports having lost weight and doubled hay production. “Luck’s been on our side,” Lenox

said. “We plan to keep it as a ranch and maintain the wildlife. Everyone loves the Greybull Valley.” “He’s more passionate about it,” Fran commented about Lenox’ involvement in the ranch, yet she’s found rewards in their new retirement lifestyle and mentions no regrets about the change, even when the temperature plunges below freezing. She’ll select reading material and settle before the big fireplace in the Pitchfork ranch house. “I really do like to read,” she adds. “I’m happy with a good book.” The decorations on the walls include their purchases from the art show and other works, which Lenox describes as an “unusual, eclectic collection. We like western art.”

She said the name of the piece, “Not Just a Pretty Face,” appealed to her, praising the artist’s creativity – “She has wonderful titles.” Meanwhile, the bid price continued to rise as Lenox encountered determined competition from former Wapiti resident Bo Polk. “We just kept going up,” Lenox said with no remorse, though his wife suggested restraint.

They retired to the ranch in 2010. The Bakers, originally from Norfolk, Va., had become familiar with Wyoming during several vacations to the state in the 1980s but didn’t consider buying land here until a colleague invested in the Greybull River valley. They bought the ranch as an investment and started fall visits here with their dogs. “We had a good time,” Fran said of their cross-country drives. They also enjoyed their sojourns here, reluctant to return to the East Coast. “Every time, I hated to leave,” Lenox said. “I was a workaholic heart surgeon.” The couple met in 1961 as undergraduates during a mixer at Johns Hopkins University and celebrated their 50th anniversary last month.

Bekes’ Bike

Page B-10 – Rendezvous Royale – September 16, 2013

By BUZZY HASSRICK Special to the Enterprise ombining the training and experience acquired during professional and amateur pursuits, Ati Bekes has fashioned an unusual creation – a wooden bicycle. His first one, made for his wife and called “Chrissy’s Cruiser,” is on display at North Mountain Gallery. The second one will be shown during Cody High Style. “My brain is already working on number three,” Bekes commented at his shop between Cody and Powell. A native of Hungary and victim of Hurricane Sandy, he met gallery owner Doug Nordberg through a mutual friend who mentioned the wood work. “I was intrigued immediately because we specialize in functional-type art here,” Nordberg said. “I knew immediately I had to have it.” While Nordberg has seen other wooden bikes, “This one has fantastic lines to it.” Nordberg also felt that Bekes’ strong design showed the craftsman paid equal attention to the artistic elements as well as to strength and function. “I was just dazzled right off the bat,” he said. In confirmation to his response, the bike attracted passersby after it appeared in the gallery. Nordberg noticed tourists who had spotted it in his window the night before waited around the next morning until opening time for a closer examination. “Just my street traffic has increased incredibly,” he said. “They’re amazed as much as I am.” Before the bike rolled onto main street, Bekes refurbished the piece, which was necessary because his wife had ridden it in a beach cruiser race along the New Jersey shore. On the East Coast he had worked as a high-end interior carpenter for about 20 years. That job followed a career as a jet pilot in the Hungarian air force. After leaving the military and wondering what to do next, Bekes decided in 1994 to join his sister in New Jersey. He started as a novice laborer and eventually developed carpentry skills. Also in New Jersey he competed as an amateur road cyclist, specializing in individual time trials in which “you go all out,” he said. The Bekes had a house on Sandy Hook Bay where people rode bikes along the shore. One day, he recalled, “I was just thinking, ‘How cool would it be to have a beach cruiser made of wood?’” He called it a “goof-off bike,” not for training or exercise. “It’s just to have fun in the fresh air,” he said. “If it happens to be made of wood, it stops traffic.” Then Hurricane Sandy interrupted his life, sending three feet of water into their house and rendering it uninhabitable. “Our town is still in shambles,” Bekes says. “We decided, if we can’t live near the water, we might as well move to Wyoming.” They were familiar with the area, having visited Christine Clifton’s hometown of Powell.

Ati Bekes is currently working on a hallway table. A bicycle frame sits in the background. “She grew up here, and I loved it out here,” Bekes said. Accompanied by New Year’s fireworks, they packed their belongings and left New Jersey at 5 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2013, to start a new life. “Our whole life was in two trailers,” he said One trailer contained the wooden cruiser, which had taken about 300 hours to create. Number two was recently finished. Using a pattern of a bike frame, Bekes said he keeps cutting and gluing pieces of 1/4-inch laminated plywood. “I’ll glue a zillion pieces together, then shape it,” Bekes said. It’ll be a “one of,” with no two patterns alike, and comprise about 35 layers of plywood finished with marine varnish. At the same time, at Nordberg’s request, he’s making a wall table with a flow similar to the bike’s lines. The oval shape will contain an overlay of carbon fiber, which is the same material he employs to reinforce his bikes. The table won’t be nearly the challenge of fashioning a wooden bike, as the latter requires measurements in millimeters. “The hard part to sculpting a bike is adhering to the bike’s geometry, but it’s fun,” Bekes said. While Chrissy’s Cruiser has coaster brakes, number two has front disk brakes. It has no padding for the seat, which the Bekes found unnecessary, but there’s a compartment for two beers. “This bike is just stupid cool,” Bekes adds.

Bekes’ first wood beach cruiser bicycle is on display at North Mountain Galleries. He recently built a second bicycle to be displayed during Cody High Style.

If it happens to be made of wood, it stops traffic.
