f winter’s icy weather is keeping you indoors and close to the fires, you might think of taking this time to get some interior painting done. Before you get started, though, read these tips from some experts for making the job go easier and more effectively.
1
To get the best fi nish, make sure you’ve prepared your base properly. The home improvement website diynetwork.com says that means you should scrape off all peeling paint and primer bare patches; wash and rinse walls and let them dry overnight; fi ll all holes with spackle then primer the dry spackle; and remove fi xtures, light switch covers and outlet covers, and tape the switches and outlets to keep paint off them. Paul Alexander, manager of Havre Sherwin-Williams Paints, also recommends removing doors which can be an obstacle in your work area and get marred by drips, tools and equipment.
2
Pick the correct primer. Of course, says diynetwork.com, this means you can’t put latex on an oil fi nish or oil on a latex fi nish without sanding fi rst ... and then cleaning off the dust particles you created. It also means using a deepgray primer if you are covering a light-colored wall with dark paint, especially dark reds and blues, Alexander said. In the past, switching to a dark paint meant adding some of your paint to the primer as a tint, but, he said, current research has discovered that using a gray primer of similar darkness to your paint works better. continued on page 9
continued from page 8
BTW: If you don’t know if your fi nish is latex or oil, diynetwork.com says to rub the wall with a cloth liberally wetted with rubbing alcohol. If the paint transfers to the cloth, it’s a latex.
3
Choose the right color. Before you buy paint, take a color chip home to look at it in your house, Alexander said, because different lighting defi nitely affects the tint. Diynetwork.com also recommends buying a small amount of the color, usually a quart, and painting a foam board to give you a bigger sample. Sometimes this bigger surface reveals more to the eye about color and tone than a small chip of paint.
4
Choose the right type of paint. Latex paints stay a little softer, Alexander said, so oil paints should be used on doors, cabinets and windows to avoid having them stick shut and damaging the fi nish. He also said that, though modern, quality paint brands have satin and fl at paints that hold up well to repeated washing, the general rule of thumb is to use semi-gloss paints in areas that will be subject to lots of washing, like hallways, kitchens and kids’ bedrooms. He did warn, though, that semi-gloss paints are not good for walls with imperfections, such as in an older home with “character,” and recommends a satin fi nish to avoid those revealing light refl ections, while still keeping some of the durability.

One provements – and that had an opinof the simplest ways to help make ion on the matter – recommended paint spread more evenly and canvas drop cloths over plastic sheeting.

Tame that ragged edge: If you want to add a stripe or two, or more, across a textured wall, Alexander said, it's hard to get the masking tape to seal perfectly in the irregular surface, and this causes the edge of the stripe to be ragged. To prevent the paint seeping, he recommends this simple technique: Measure and mark your stripe area and lay your tape in place along your lines, but before you paint your stripe color, paint a layer of background color along the tape seam. This seals, with the background color, any gaps under the tape caused by the wall texture. Once that layer dries, paint your stripe. Bonus Tip: When the job is done, keep track of your selections. Alexander said that one of the coolest tricks he’s learned from customers is how to keep track of what colors were used in a room: Before replacing the cover over the light switch, write the name of the paint or paints used in that room on the back of the cover, then screw the cover into place, so the information particular to that room stays in that room.

BY PAM BURKE
t’s a common understanding that if life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, but a former Chinook couple also has found that if your life gives you too many antlers, you just make beautiful home furnishings and create a whole new home-based business.
Officially open for business Jan. 1, 2012, with the launching of its Facebook page, Belt Mountain Rustic Home Furnishings has a wide array of home furnishings created and marketed by husband and wife team Russ and Kelli Friede. With an ever-evolving inventory which includes creations like tall floor lamps made of entwined elk horns, multi-antler chandeliers of spiraling white-tail and mule deer antlers, and candle holders, napkin rings, toothpick holders and cribbage boards all from antlers, Belt Mountain has something for a variety of household decoration and
use. As an avid outdoorsman from Chinook, Russ has had a life-long passion for collecting antlers, but it wasn’t until four years ago when Kelli, who claims Harlowton as her hometown, inspired him that he decided to make something practical of that ever-growing collection. Now he has a whole new career. “Somebody was complaining about all the horns in the garage—” Russ started saying about his inspiration. “—And then he thought he ought to do something with them,” Kelli finished for
IDEA
him. After that decision was made, Russ bought a how-to video for making furnishings from antlers, but that was the easy part. Russ started his creative efforts with a glass-topped elk-horn coffee table for their own home and moved on to making three lamps for family members and more items. Kelli jumped into the fray helping with some of the finish work. It took the pair a while — with both working full-time jobs on a ranch near White Sulfur Springs continued on page 12
continued from page 11
— to feel that their products were up to their standards for selling. “It took us probably two years to actually get to where we felt like we could sell them because we had the process refined,” Kelli said. “Mostly it was the painting of the patches, so they wouldn’t show.” The patches are to cover areas that Russ has had to drill put in screws that secure the antlers together or where wiring is run into or through an antler. Through research and practice, Russ figured out which putty was the best to use, both in quality and workability, to shape patches that mimic the natural horn. “You just try to blend them as close as you can to what was there” before the hole was made, he said. “We try to keep ours hidden enough to where they really got to look for them.” “We figure we’re successful if they really got to ask us where it is,” Kelli said. Russ said he has to keep on hand a minimum inventory of about 30-40 elk horns and 200 deer horns to keep production going. The number of horns has to be so high because of the nature of the construction process, he said. When he makes chandeliers, for exam-
12 LIVING MAGAZINE January 2014
ple, he needs antlers that match in size, shape and deer species. Depending on the size of the light, that can require six to 12 compatible antlers. For a floor lamp, he needs at least one antler that is the right height and of a pleasing shape and color to work as the upright, or pole, and one or more that will create a sturdy, balanced base. Some items, like the multi-antler oil-candle holder, simply need antlers that will look good together and create a sturdy base with ornate tines. To put it all together, he said, he just digs through his inventory until he has the right antlers for the project. Most of the time, he finds inspiration for his next piece by looking through the antlers and putting them together in various configurations until he sees a finished product. Even if the seed of an idea came from some outside source, the fact that each antler is unique, and the way the individual antlers come together is different each time, makes each piece he produces a one-of-a-kind work of art. Once Russ worked through his original collection of antlers, he started purchasing
them from dealers because he couldn’t keep up with demand from what he found on his own, he said. Right now, he added, about 90 percent of his inventory is purchased by the pound from dealers. Though the antler price has doubled in the past few years because they are now popular as dog chews sold in pet stores, Russ said he’s still choosy about what he uses. “I’ve been getting rid of stuff that’s way too big, or if it’s not got enough color or it’s got broken points,” he said, adding that “you just waste so much time (trying to make them work in a project). I just take all that stuff and sell it to a horn buyer.” Almost everything can be used, though, when there is an inventory need. Antlers that have good color and quality, but aren’t suitable as to use as a whole, maybe because of a broken tip, can be parted out, so to speak, for his smaller pieces like the napkin rings, toothpick continued on page 13
H AV R E D A I LY N E W S
continued from page 12
holders and cribbage boards. Small and unusual antlers can be used for the oilcandle holders. If they don’t need those smaller products in inventory, or the antler is otherwise unusable, he trades the antler through the dealer for what he needs. Kelli said that she found an antler that was less than prime while out moving cows on the ranch one day and stopped to pick it up because she knew that it could be used as trade for better quality antlers. “I picked that up, and the guys were kind of laughing at me, and I was like ‘Hey, my husband’s going to be happy over this,’” she said. While they have learned in the production side of the business everything from how to make their furnishings aesthetically pleasing as well as sturdy, what antlers to work with and how to finishcoat their products so they look natural and professional and still clean up well, the marketing side of the business provided its own lessons as well. Kelli said they started out going to smaller fairs and craft shows, and with those sales, the experience and the input from customers and craftspeople, they started going to bigger and and more specialized shows. They also started reaching out to retailers. With input from potential customers, buyers, retailers and other people in the crafting and construction business, they are learning to target their products at the right time and in the right markets. Along with selling their merchandise through their Facebook page, they are selling through two stores in the state, Gallery Interiors in Billings and Moccasin Mountain Gallery in Lewistown. They also will be at two outdoors/sporting shows after the first of the year, one in Billings and the other in Helena. While Russ makes some glass-top tables and does custom orders, the latter generally requested because people want something made with their own antlers that have sentimental value, it’s his wide range of lamps — from tabletop to hanging and floor lamps — that are their most popular sellers. Kelli said she feels that the construction quality and the creativity put into their products is great, but it's their attention to finish that sets them apart. “It’s a luxury item,” Kelli said, and they work hard to make sure customers get the quality they should. “The hard thing is getting (the products) to people to see the quality in per-

son,” she added, “because that’s generally when we can make a sale is when they can actually see that the quality of the patch and finish is better than others.” The trade shows, they said, are an important way to get their products seen by a lot of people and let their creations make an impression, so they are working to find the shows that play to their marketing. Even at home improvement shows where potential customers are not necessarily shopping for decor items, but rather getting ideas for their homes which are in construction or pre-constructions stages, this contact makes a difference. They said that after a recent home improvement show in Billings, they saw an increase in sales with their Billingsarea retailer.
“We have a lot of people ask us if (the antlers) are real because they can’t see the spots where they’re screwed together. I think it’s unfortunate that pictures don’t do that justice because a lot of people look at the pictures and say,’ oh yeah,’ but when they see them in person that’s when we can really sell them. “A lot of people do really nice work, but you can tell where they’ve screwed (the antlers) together. And we do our best to make it so you can’t,” she added. “Sometimes you don’t realize really what it looks like until you get the urethane on it and we’ve had to go back in — if you’re standing off and you can tell at all, we will go back in and fix it. ... And sometimes it’s a real bugger to get it, but that’s the difference, I would say.”

ince Woodwick Vince Woodwick is an important part of Havre. Twice the Havre native has moved away — once to Lincoln, Neb., for a decade — but he has returned to be an active participant in the community he loves. BY JOHN KELLEHER
“It’s the people,” he said of the Hi-Line. But Vince — who has a wife, Debbie, a son, Nathan, who is a cook at Andy's in Havre, and a daughter, Sherri, who lives in Lincoln, Neb. — has paid the community back several times over. He founded the annual Fourth of July community picnic that attracts more than
a thousand people to Pepin Park. He works with youth on a variety of art projects. He is working with six young people in painting a mural on the wall of the Havre-Hill County Library. And he is working on a project to track the history of many small cemeteries that dot Hill County's rural landscape.
In 2002, he and his brother, Allen “Woody” Woodwick, had what they thought was a simple idea. Woody is a musician, and he thought it would be a good idea to get the community together on July 4, jam a little bit and eat some food. The next year, somebody donated a half a beef for the festivities. That attracted more people. Soon hundreds, then thousands of people started attending the gathering. Vince said health problems are forcing him to hand over the organizing of the picnic to others, though he will be around to help out. He looks back with pride and laughter at the work he’s done over the years. As things developed in the early years of the picnic, he recalled, “Woody took on the bands part of it, and I took on the barbecue side of things.” Feeding that many people was quite a task. “It starts around March,” he said of the planning stage. He went around to businesses asking for money or products that can be raffl ed off for gifts. Different busi-
nesses donate food, and lots of people offer small donations to help fi nance the event. “It runs on a lot of $20, $30 and $40 donations,” he said. The hardest part in the early years, he said, was convincing people that he and Woody alone were running the event. “People would say ‘what group is running it,’” he recalled. “I’d say my brother and me,” he said. “Yes, but who’s running it?” they’d inquire. Vince shies away from taking too much credit for the picnic. “I just put it together,“ he said. “The volunteers do the work.” Every year, people just show up to do work, he said. • • • • Vince has always loved kids, but he wasn’t sure he was the one who should be working with them. The kids proved him wrong. Vince said he has always been an artist and often will donate a piece of

his work for benefit auctions. He did that for Jessica Nivens, a Havre girl suffering from health issues. At the benefit, Jessica fell in love with Vince’s drawing. She said she wanted to buy it, but her mother wouldn’t let her. “Well, you’re not supposed to be buying things at your own benefit,” Vince said, but he quickly did another drawing, drove to Jessica’s house and gave it to her. That was the beginning of a long friendship. Before long, he was teaching young people, Jessica and two other Havre Middle School students, at a program through HavreHill County Library. He applied for a small grant and got it. Soon more students were taking part in the drawing program. Then the librarian at the time decided that the meeting room was too bare. It needed some of the drawings to adorn the walls, so the group went to work. Today, their drawings are on the walls. He started displaying students’ work in the library's meeting room. Students often say their work isn’t good enough to be displayed, he said. But, he add-
ed, he is amazed at the great work that students do, and the young people need to know how good they are.
This area is so full of talent and so full of history. Vince Woodwick, Community Member
The artwork is displayed for two-month periods, and there is a backlog of several months, he said. The latest library project involves painting a mural on the lower-level wall. Six students are taking part in the project, he said. They meet each week with lots of paint and get to work. They work hard, laugh and have a good time, he said. Teaching life skills to students is as im-
portant as teaching how to draw, he said. “I don’t teach them art, I just teach them not to give up.” He also helped out at Havre High School. Teacher Char Sticka asked him to teacher old-style calligraphy to her art students. Reluctant, he had to be convinced. “I really enjoyed it,” he said, “although at first I was very apprehensive.” His love of kids is as important as his love of art, he said. “I’ve tried to teach adults, but it just didn’t work out,” Vince said. He is a volunteer with the Wahkpa Chu’gn Buffalo Jump, where he also works with children, demonstrating the ancient method of heating water with hot stones. •••• Vince’s mother was born and raised in Simpson, a tiny hamlet in northern Hill County. A brother of Vince's was born stillborn before he could be baptized. According to Catholic tradition at the time, he could not be buried in the sanctified St. John’s Cemetery. Instead, he was buried just outside the continued on page 17

cemetery limits. Years later, the diocese extended the cemetery limits to include the area where his brother was buried. Vince wanted to find out just where his brother’s body was interred. He called in the experts who located two bodies of young people very close to each other. He could never determine just which was his brother, but the experience prompt ed him to get more involved in the local history that can be uncovered in small cemeteries in rural parts of the county. Many people were buried on their own property, often on the backside of the farm, he said. Others were interred in small community cemeteries. Sometimes, people have discovered bodies buried in a wheat field, he said. Some date back as far as 1875, he said. In those days, there was no requirement that burials be documented, so in many cases, no one knows who

was buried where. No documentation was mandated until the 1980s. “Montana was pretty much behind the times,” he said. “People could be buried anywhere, though most people were not.” He has examined cemeteries in Goldstone, Simpson, Cottonwood and Miller, a small community not far from Wild Horse. Vince’s pride in his hometown is evident as he talks about Havre. “This area is so full of talent and so full of history,” he said. “And people don’t realize it.” He wants to develop the talents of young people in the artistic field, and he wants to preserve the area’s rich history. His cemetery project is part of keeping history alive, but he said he is only a small part, “People like Keith Doll and Emily Mayer, they are my heroes,” he said.

hristmas is over, but January still offers a three-for-one special for winter fishing enthusiasts. The Fresno Ice Derby makes a good excuse to get outdoors for a weekend of ice fishing, as well as providing an opportunity to win some money and helping to raise money for local agriculture scholarships.
The fishing derby is set for Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 25-26, at Fresno Reservoir, about 14 miles west of Havre, north off U.S. Highway 2 at The Walleye Tavern, which is about 12 miles out from the city. While the derby will run for two days, people can fish either one or both days, as desired. The cost is $25 per contestant per day, and 80 percent of each day’s total entries are paid out to first through third place for that day’s longest fish in each category: walleye, northern pike, and perch and crappie. Because the prize money is dependent on the number of entrants, the payout varies, said Chuck Wimmer, member of the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce’s Ag Committee which puts on the yearly event, but last year’s derby paid out $400-500 to the winners in each category. While this is the third annual Ice Derby at Fresno, the competition started at the reservoir in Beaver Creek Park several years ago, Wimmer said. The move to Fresno came after a few years of too-warm weather at the park’s higher elevation making the ice too dangerous for the derby. Wimmer said that the Ice Derby usually attracts 80 to 90 contestants, depending on the year, and last year their numbers included 30 people from out of the area. The derby is advertised through the
20 LIVING MAGAZINE January 2014
Chamber, with information being sent to all Montana chamber offices, and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks posting the derby information as well, he added.
It’s just a fun day, and when you’re done everybody goes back to The Walleye Tavern — that’s where they measure the fish. Chuck Wimmer, member of the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce's Ag Committee
The organizers would like to get the entry number up to 120 to 130, he said, and they hope that having more consistent ice, along with the high rate of payout and the family-friendly atmosphere, will help the
competition grow to those numbers. “It’s just a fun day, and when you’re done everybody goes back to The Walleye Tavern — that’s where they measure the fish. You got a warm place to warm up, they have food there and beverages there for kids and adults,” Wimmer said. All the proceeds from the 20 percent office fee help fund two scholarships for Montana State University-Northern students enrolled in an agriculture program. “We try to give out two $1,000 per year scholarships,” Wimmer said, adding that the Fresno Ice Derby and the annual fall Ag Banquet are the only fundraisers the committee holds for the scholarships. “It’s kind of a nice little deal for a college student to pick up a $1,000 dollar scholarship for a year,” he said. “We try to tell the advisors that these scholarships go to kids that need it … ,” he said. “They don’t have to be a straight-A student, but the person that deserves it — they’re working, they’re going to school, they’re trying, but some people struggle. It’s to the person in need. “It’d be nice to see a lot of people out there,” he added. Signup for the fishing derby – which continued on page 21 H AV R E D A I LY N E W S

costs $25 per contestant per day to enter – is going on now. Interested ice fishers can get an entry form at the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce at 130 5th Ave. or go online to www.havremt.com and print out the form. Entry forms and payments can be dropped off at the Chamber office or mailed in. For more information, call 265-4383.
Fresno Ice Derby Details • Saturday, Jan. 25, and/or Sunday, Jan. 26 • Cost: $25/contestant, $15 late entry fee • Entry deadline is noon on January 25 • Times: 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday; 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday • Measuring: Fish length must be measured at The Walleye Tavern within a half-hour after derby closing time each day. • Payouts: Pays top three longest fish in each category. Payout is determined by number of entries that day. • Categories: Walleye, northern pike, and perch or crappie • Regulations: All contestants must follow state of Montana fishing laws.
About the Regulations Fresno Ice Derby organizer Chuck Wimmer said that the rules for the derby are simple with measuring and payout at the end of each day, but one of the important things for contestants is to follow Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks regulations. All fishing derby contestants will need a state of Montana fishing license, which comes with a conservation tag, said Fish, Wildlife and Parks Region 6 Sgt. Shane Reno. Beyond that, Reno said, there are some basic regulations which include being able to have up to six fishing lines in the water at a time and keeping to the fish limits: • 5 walleye • 10 northern pike • no limit on perch • 15 crappie Spearfishing is allowed, said Wimmer. Fishing regulations are available when purchasing the license from any Montana license agent and online at http://fwp.mt.gov.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY PAM BURKE
No-Knead Dutch Oven Bread
Virtually Idiot-Proof Artisan Bread If you are looking for a no-brainer, homemade bread to wow company, try this user-friendly bread recipe. I am far from being a bread-making expert, but I’ve been following this recipe for two years and have yet to have a failure. The bread’s flavor, texture and weight is similar to a ciabatta bread with a hearty crust. It goes well with soups and stews, in hearty sandwiches, especially grilled, or as a desserty snack of butter and honey. 1/4 tsp active dry yeast 1 1/2 cups warm water 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 1 1/2 tsp salt Cornmeal, wheat bran or flour for dusting
See phase-byphase photos on page 24. H AV R E D A I LY N E W S
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the fl our and salt, stirring until blended. The dough will be shaggy and sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest at least 8 hours, preferably 12 to 18, at warm room temperature, about 70 degrees. (If your house is drafty or you keep it cooler, put bowl up high, away from an exterior wall and windows, like on
top of the refrigerator.) The dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles. Lightly fl our a work surface and place dough on it. Sprinkle dough with a little more fl our and fold it over on itself once or twice. Do not knead dough. Cover dough loosely with plastic wrap and let it rest for about 15 minutes. While waiting, lay a clean dish towel on a cookie sheet or pizza pan. Generously coat dish towel with cornmeal, wheat bran or fl our. Using just enough fl our to keep the dough from sticking to your fi ngers, gently shape dough into a ball by gathering the edges together. Put the seam side of the dough down on the towel and dust dough with more cornmeal, wheat bran or fl our. Cover with another clean towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 continued on page 24 January 2014

to 2 hours. When it’s ready, the dough will have doubled in size and will not readily spring back when poked with a fi nger. At least 20 minutes before the dough is ready, heat oven to 475 degrees. Put a 6- to 8-quart heavy, covered pot or pan (cast iron, enamel, Pyrex or ceramic) in the oven as it heats. When the dough is ready, carefully remove the pot from the oven and lift off the lid. Slide your hand under the towel and turn the dough over into the pot, seam side up. The dough will lose its shape a bit in the process, but that’s OK. Give the pot a fi rm shake or two to help distribute the dough evenly, but don’t worry if it’s not perfect; it will straighten out as it bakes. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake another 15 to 20 minutes, until the loaf is browned. Remove the bread from the pot and let it cool on a rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
PHASE 1 The mixed dough
PHASE 2 The bubbly surface after the first rise
PHASE 3 Dusting with flour before folding dough over on itself
TIPS: • If you're used to the firmness of most bread doughs, this dough will seem like a gloopy mess when you get the ingredients mixed together, and even after it raises it will be stickier and wetter than regular bread dough. Do not be alarmed. This is how it is supposed to look. • Most baking experts say weighing flour is more accurate than measuring by the cup, but this recipe is very tolerant of variations in moisture (more or less flour), so don’t worry if your dough turns out a little different from batch to batch. • If, for some reason, your dough
doesn't double in size during the second rise-period, bake it anyway. It will just turn out like a heavier, European bread. • Cornmeal is my favorite dusting for the dough, but they’re all messy at that moment when you flip that ball of dough into the pre-heared pot.
PHASE 4 Dusted with cornmeal and ready for second rise
• I use an old cast-iron Dutch oven which is not as well-seasoned as it should be for its years as a cooking implement, still, I have never had the bread stick despite the recipe not calling for a greased pot. Resist the urge to grease whatever baking container you use.

BY PAM BURKE In the photo below, Bob Patera of Havre is enjoying some time spent cross-country skiing in Beaver Creek Park in March. Chad Edgar, park manager at Beaver Creek, said recently that, while quite a few people come to the park to ride snowmobiles in the winter, only a handful of people cross-country ski and snowshoe out there. “Generally, we’ll get some
cross-country skiers at the south end of the park,” Edgar said, where the hillsides are more open and rolling. He said he has seen evidence of skiers and snow shoers having traveled through campsites and along the Bear Paw Nature Trail, too. To use the park for winter sports, people need a day pass or a seasonal pass. Through the end of April, day passes cost $7 for
Hill County residents, $10 for nonresidents, and seasonal cost $30 for Hill County residents, $45 nonresidents, and are good May 1 through April 30 each season. To purchase a pass for Beaver Creek Park, contact Edgar at 395-4565 or the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce at 2654383, or ask at a Havre sporting goods store if they are available there.
