The Monthly Bozeman Edition Sept. 2014 by Rey Advertising

Montana is filled with many minerals. One of the most intriguingly named is dogtooth calcite. Not, in fact, a fossil of actual canine teeth, “dogtooth” is actually a reference to the shape of the crystals: the golden honey-colored calcite naturally forms into very pointy pyramid shapes. At times, the crystals will double terminate, creating beautifully faceted footballs.

Calcite is a soft mineral that is easily scratched with a knife. Found in more different shapes than any other mineral, calcite is sedimentary and has perfect cleavage. In addition to the desired golden honey of the dogtooth crystals, calcite also comes in clear, black, grey, white, blue, pink, brown, yellow and red. Both fluorescent and phosphorescent, calcite is also the mineral that has preserved trilobites’ detailed compound eyes for us to admire.

Calcite is a wonderful mineral to start collecting or to add to an existing collection. It is as beautiful as it is fun. The added thrill of potentially finding your own piece here in Montana increases its desirability. Earth’s Treasures has many other minerals to excite

The More Things Change, IN THIS ISSUE Page 3 The More They Stay The Same Iceland spar, another type of Montana calcite, forms in a rhombohedrum shape (picture a box that has been slightly squished and tilted to one side). The most sought after of this type is clear and referred to as optical calcite. This calcite is strongly double refractive, meaning that if a square-ish piece of optical calcite is laid on top of a straight line or image, the viewer will see two separate images. This happens because the calcite splits one ray of light into two separate rays. One remains stationary, while the other can revolve around the stationary ray. As the piece of calcite is turned a quarter turn, the lines will recombine into one line; another quarterF11 turn, and the two lines reappear. Besides being entertaining, this capability made optical calcite valuable in several applications: In World War

Verge Theatre Occasionally, I'm asked: “Do people still wear pocket watches?” My response is always a resounding, “Absolutely!” That watch just comes in a different case that also happens to include a phone, email and apps. When pocket watches first appeared, they were suspended from a belt or sash by a chord or metal chatelaine (chain) outside of the pocket. Though they did tell the time, they were mostly a status symbol afforded only by the very wealthy. As time passed, these mechanical wonders became smaller and were fitted with new complications, or features, such as the date and phases of the moon. Some would strike the time at the top of the hour (clock-watch), while others would strike when the owner pressed a button on the side of the case (a repeater). Still others were used to track short lapses of time, as in a horse race (a chronograph). These were the 18th, 19th and 20th century “apps” for a watch. With the advent of mass production and interchangeable parts, the watch became more cost-effective, enabling the average person to have independence with a personal timepiece. Even women wore watches, as pendants on long chains

tucked into a skirt or blouse pocket or, later, as a bracelet, an early and timeless fashion statement. For men, the pocket watch reigned until WWI, when preferences changed to wristwatches for accessibility and convenience sake, particularly for troops. In the wake of the war came growth in a range of industries and interests, including timekeeping. New materials allowed for watches to be almost completely anti-magnetic, improving their accuracy dramatically. Watches were developed that could be plunged to the depths of the ocean or withstand great impacts of shock. In the mid 1920s, Henry Graves commissioned Patek Philippe, the Swiss premier watchmaker, to make the world’s most complicated watch. Eight years later, the watch was (continued on page 10)

First, create a camera first-aid kit with zip-lock bags, a ground cloth of some kind, a light pair of running or BMX gloves, and a microfiber towel. • Storing things in zip-lock bags helps keep them dry. • A ground cloth comes in handy to spread out gear and locate essential accessories or to dry something off. • Gloves with rubber grips prevent the “whoops” of dropping something into a snowdrift. If you do drop something – your camera,

a lens – immediately dry it off with the microfiber towel and you may save it from water damage, or outright ruin. • A microfiber lens cleaning cloth along with a cleaner, like Purosol Optical Molecular Lens Cleaners, is a must. • A packet of Rainsleeves™ to keep your camera dry if it begins to snow or rain is also helpful. These even work when you’re using a tripod. Then, keep your camera loaded with fresh batteries and a couple of freshly formatted memory cards. (continued on page 8)

And it’s a little quiet voice that goes, ‘jump.’ It’s the same voice, the same voice that goes, ‘just one.’ . . . It’s not caused by anything. It’s just there. It’s just, you know, it’s latent. . . . It lays in wait for the time when you think, ‘It’s fine now. I’m OK.’ And then – ‘beep’ – and then next thing you know, it’s not OK. . . . Yeah, there’s a sadness . . . and then there’s also hope. In sadness, it’s almost like . . . you wished they hadn’t happened, but they did. And the purpose is to make you different. It’s what they call a Buddhist gift. I would call it the ultimate Christian gift. It’s that idea of, you’re back and you realize that the thing that matters are others – way beyond yourself. Self goes away. Ego, byebye. You realize that there are a lot of amazing people out there to be grateful for. And a love in God. And . . . other than that, good luck.

• Cold saps batteries — put them in a pocket, next to your body, to keep them warm. Have extras on hand. • To protect your camera and card reader, a clean and dry memory card is essential. One more essential suggestion for your gear: add a polarizer. It’s lightweight, minimizes snow glare and makes clear winter skies pop. On a digital camera, you can also accomplish this by simply changing the camera's white balance to “cloudy” or “shady”. You may also want to add a high quality UV filter to protect your lens from the weather and to reduce excessive blue at high elevations. Take a lot of images and check each on your LCD screen in the field to be sure you got the shot you wanted. Then, at the end of the day, protect your images by transferring them from your camera's flash memory to a computer and backing them up to an external drive.

Bozeman Film Society Starts New Season As summer cools down, the Bozeman Film Society is heating up! After a fantastic, free outdoor "Screen On The Green " showing of Invasion of the Body Snatchers in late August, the BFS moves indoors for another year of award-winning independent film. Films start flickering on Thursday, September 18th and run continuously every few weeks through June 2015 in the Emerson Art Center's 700-seat Crawford Theater. As a fan, you can expect important, original film screenings you won't find at the multiplex, along with special events and guest speakers throughout the year. The Bozeman Film Society continues to bring compelling films to Bozeman with the help of many dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers, friends, and over 70 generous area business sponsors. This year's sponsorship drive raised significant funds, which help support programming and keep ticket prices affordable. Check out the sponsor link on our website and let these generous businesses know you appreciate their support of quality cinema!

(Incidentally, the watch is being offered for sale again in November of 2014 and is expected to bring over $14 million.) By the 1960s, space travel was in sight. Television programs and films of the 60s and 70s imagined what would soon become reality. Captain Kirk and Dr. Spock communicated on the flip phone of yesterday. Now, the smartphone, with all of its applications and accouterment, can provide near limitless information, accessibility, connectivity and the exact time in cities around the globe at the touch of a few buttons. Dating back to our beginnings, we are a population obsessed with time, its measurement and its passage.

Emerson Center, 111 S. Grand Ave., Ste. 106, Bozeman, MT 59715 • 406.587.2127 • surrattmarci@gmail.com The Artists’ Gallery, Bozeman’s co-op gallery located in the Emerson Cultural Center, will be featuring the artwork of three diverse artists during the month of September. Tom Wolfe works in forged metal. Ceramic artist Dede Chrisman began her relationship with clay 30 years ago. The Yellowstone geysers are reflected in her multi-fired bowls with the blue centers of the bowl surrounded by textured or crusty edges. Currently, her work is influenced by a canoe trip on the Missouri River where she observed the cliff swallow nests and random trails the fallen rocks have left. She primarily uses a slab technique for clay, sometimes combining thrown components with the slab. It may not seem like making small glass beads could possibly captivate a person for years, but such is the case for Ann Wilbert. She finds that there are infinite possibilities with each attempt she makes at producing her lampwork beads. Although she feels she may never be a master of this art form, she tries to capture something unique in each bead she creates.

Landscape photography by Annie Bailey will be featured in the Emerson’s September ArtWalk on Friday, September 12th, from 5 to 8PM, in the tart gallery. Bailey’s expansive, cloud-filled skies, weathered barns and gnarled trees show us a Montana we have seen, but rarely noticed. “I have lived my entire life surrounded by the vast openness of Montana. Growing up on a ranch in the Smith River valley, I have always loved the solitude of the landscape,” remarks Bailey. “It has never felt lonely or isolating to me, but rather it has always been a place to explore, and this exploration is what inspired me to first pick up a camera.” The show will be on display through October 8th. Opening reception will be held in tart, rooms 107B & C in the Emerson Center at 111 S. Grand Ave. Call 406.582.0416 or visit www.tartique.com for more information.

Tom Wolfe is inspired by the limitless possibilities of what can be done with iron, anvil, forge and tireless toil. He creates functional metal work for the home and garden. His long-term fascination with the changes that can be wrought in the shape of steel when heated to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit keeps him coming back to the forge. After spending 30 years as the head of MSU’s horseshoeing program, he has turned to making functional metal art while still using traditional blacksmithing techniques. The Bozeman Artwalk will take place on Friday, September 12th. Start your Artwalk at the Artists’ Gallery with a glass of wine at 5PM, then proceed to Main Street when the galleries there begin their Artwalk at 6.

The Ellen Theatre Presents An Evening With Beppe Gambetta, Guitar Master Saturday, September 20th, 8 PM All Seats $15 The Ellen Theatre is proud to present world-class guitarist Beppe Gambetta for a night of incredible music. The New York Times calls him a “… virtual United Nations of influences,” as Gambetta blends Italian roots with Ukrainian, Celtic and even Appalachian styles into a mix that celebrates his love of American Country and Bluegrass. Hailed by critics for his flashy licks, intricate cross-picking patterns and romantic flair, Gambetta is regarded by his peers as a true master of the acoustic guitar. Having performed all over the world, Gambetta is a favorite with a wide variety of audiences, from Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, with stops in between on NPR’s All Things Considered and Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion. Reserved Seats for this concert are only $15 and may be purchased

online at TheEllenTheatre.com. Wine, beer and other refreshments will be available in the lobby at 7 PM with the concert slated for an 8 PM start. For questions or to purchase tickets over the phone, please call The Ellen Theatre box office at 585-5885. **************** TATE ACADEMY Fall Classes at The Ellen Theatre Tate Academy, the educational wing of The Ellen Theatre, announces the fall schedule which includes programs for young performers and adults in both acting and musical theatre. The goal of the workshops is to provide students with solid, techniquebased theatre arts training, lead by professional teachers and artists. All classes take place at The Ellen Theatre. The Fundamentals of Acting workshop focuses on creating threedimensional characters and building a solid acting foundation. Exploring both voice and physicality, students participate in theatre games, guided improvisation and scene work to develop and hone acting technique.

The Musical Theatre Workshop is designed for all students, from absolute beginners to experienced young performers. For those new to theatrical training, the course will serve as an introduction to the world of musical theatre. For students who have had previous experience, it will offer them the opportunity to build upon those skills and further refine their talents. All students will gain self-esteem and confidence, while expanding their knowledge of theatre. These workshops are not a competition. A nurturing but professional atmosphere will be fostered as students are shown the benefits of working together in the performing arts. Honing individual skills while working as a creative team will produce not only the best results on stage, but more than likely new friends along the way. The fall session begins September 15th and runs until November 6th. Fundamentals of Acting for grades 4 through 7 meets Mondays from 4:00 PM to 5:45 PMand the fee is $145.00. For grades 8 through 12, Fundamentals of Acting costs $165.00 and is held on Tuesdays from 4:00

Happy Tails: Chloe “In December 2013, we adopted a kitty named Bess from your shelter. When we were watching the cats and I saw Bess in a top cage looking at me with interest, her head cocked to one side, I instantly fell in love with her. And so we decided to adopt her and give her a loving home and new name - Chloe.

*MONTANA’SBEST Montana's best source for all-natural pet foods, grooming, supplements and unique dog gear.

Since Chloe joined us, she’s a very well-behaved and clean kitty. We bought her a scratching post and she uses it every day. She reacts when I call her name and comes to me. I can easily cut her nails, I just put her on my knees and she calmly waits for me to finish!

Your best friend is waiting.

For the first few days she was hiding under the bed, going out only to eat food that I was leaving for her close to the bed and to use a litter box. Every day I spent an hour with her, stroking her and getting her used to me. After a week, one night she climbed on my bed and cuddled up to me. I woke up and stroked her and she started purring as loud as a tractor!

Lost your dog or cat?

Don’t forget to check Heart of the Valley first! In 2008, HOV received more than 1,400 stray or abandoned animals, and only 546 were reclaimed by their owners. If you have lost your pet, HOV recommends that you take the following steps: 1. Call the shelter right away at (406)388-9399! We want to see you reunited as soon as possible, so let us help! 2. Come out to the shelter at least three times per week to look at our lost animals. Your pet could arrive at any time. Most pets are found within the first week, but reunions have occurred as long as two years after the pet was lost! 3. Call the Bozeman Daily Chronicle @ 582-2600. They will run a 7-day ad at no charge. 4. Post a flyer with a picture of your pet in the area where your pet was lost, as well as at PetsMart and businesses in your area. Please notify us when your pet is found. Not only does this help with the updating of the animal’s file but we’d like to hear the good news! Volunteers needed at Heart of the Valley to help with school presentations, tours, summer day camp and children’s birthday parties at the shelter! You’ll have a blast while teaching kindness to the next generation! Call 388-9399 for more info!

She runs like crazy around the house, hunts toy mice, chases small balls that we give her and attacks our feet while hiding under the bed. She’s fun to be around, makes everyone smile, meows sweetly and still purrs like a tractor!

The great news is that the skiing was phenomenal this year, and we head into the spring and summer seasons with well above normal snowpack levels, which bodes well for any potential drought. The bad news is that that time of year is here when it’s not always easy to live in the mountains. While, in other places in the country, rain is falling, flowers are beginning to poke their colorful heads out of the ground and trees are showing their leafy buds, Big Sky is still covered in the white stuff and the white stuff is still coming down. As fortunate as we are to live in a ski resort where the conditions are often incredible, there’s always a downside. However, take this opportunity to travel and enjoy spring in other locales, revel in the peace and quiet, watch for new baby animals and enjoy the sun while you wait for summer. It’ll be here before you know it.

Ski racing has ended another season (see results on YSL championships in this issue) and many of the racers are donning soccer cleats and heading for the fields. Sports at Ophir School are also winding down. Basketball has finished and golf, one of the last sports of the school year, is just beginning. Before we know it, the school year will have ended as well, and that glorious summer season adored by children young and old will be here, complete with shorts and sandals taking the place of jeans and winter boots, and schoolbooks shelved ‘til Fall. While most of the events are over winding down, the rescheduled and things are (due to extreme cold) Howlin’ At the Moon Snowshoe Shuffle takes place on April 12th, from 5:30 to 8:30PM at the Madison Village Base Area.
