The Madison River is a scenic, wide, and shallow river boasting beautiful views and abundant wildlife. The current takes you down the river and cools you down in the sunshine while you relax. Sit back and enjoy some family time in nature. This lazy river float takes about five hours door to door. We run daily shuttles to the Madison River for a lazy float from the Warm Springs put-in and back to Bozeman from Black’s Ford takeout. We have departures daily at 11am and 1:30pm from the Bozeman shop. Reservations are required. Join the tubing trip or just rent river gear to have your own adventure. Our tubing trip is $18 and rentals start at $10. You can enjoy the river just about any way possible: we rent river tubes, floating coolers, stand-up paddleboards, inflatable kayaks and canoes.
Virginia City • We have a fully stocked gift shop with water shoes, sunscreen, drinks, snacks and souvenirs! • Great for big groups, wedding parties, school groups, clubs and more! Call for private float trips and special shuttle pickups. • We supply PFDs with all equipment rentals and tube trips. We carry both adult and child size PFDs. • You also can rent floating coolers to bring snacks and drinks along on the trip. • We offer the most deluxe tube rentals in town—no hot rubber tire or annoying valve here. Our deluxe tubes from Aire are engineered for comfort and fun. They sport a soft shell over an inflatable bladder so you will stay afloat for the whole run. These tubes also feature a mesh bottom so you can't fall through, smaller kids can sit in the center, and get wet without falling out. Our office is located in Bozeman at 1110 W. Main across from the high school. Call us at (406) 209-8384 or call Montana Whitewater's at 800-7994465. Check out madisonrivertubing. com for more info.

WITH KELLY ROBERTI This popular weekly series is back for the 7th year at the Library.

Kelly’s format will remain the same beginning with a conversation with his musical guests at 7pm, followed by a performance, which Kelly often joins with his bass. Bach trumpet artist John Dover fuses his classic sound with a modern edge, with influences ranging from the jazz sounds of Miles Davis and Chet Baker to the modern pop of Sting and Jamie Cullum. June performances continue on June 23 with jazz guitarist Curt Warren — professor and musician from Texas who plays nationally— and Bozeman saxophonist Alan Fauque. June 30 brings Luca Ro¬doni on his trumpet, fresh off his stint with the acclaimed 2014 Jazz Band of America.

Filtering Reality: Useful filters for spring alpine photo shoots by Jenna Caplette Before you head out to take photographs in high mountain country, check your filter collection to be sure it includes a polarizing filter. What filter collection? If you have a camera that allows you to change the lens, specialty filters will improve the quality of your photographs. Check out this list of have-to-have filters before your next expedition. Commonly used for landscape pictures, a polarizing filter makes the blues of Montana’s big sky "pop." In fact, it increases the color saturation of your picture so that all your colors will be brighter. Use it to control reflections on water or snow. Keep in mind that polarizers generally do not give the desired results when the sun is directly overhead, and light is naturally polarized at sunrise and sunset. Since polarizing filters can absorb up to two stops of light, removing them in low light conditions conserves precious light resources during the golden hours of the day. Polarizers can also remove reflections from surfaces like water or glass. Try using one for flyfishing photos. Graduated neutral density filters allow you to reduce the exposure reaching a specific part of your picture. For example, if the sky is too bright and is going to be washed out, a graduated neutral density filter allows you to reduce the brightness of the sky without affecting the color or the foreground. Rotate the filter 180° and use it to reduce the glittering white of rushing water in the bottom of your image, allowing you to retain details and textures that might otherwise be lost. Want to explore the wonderful world of macro (close-up) photography? Save yourself from carrying additional weight by using a two-element close-up filter on a lens you already own. It’s a great way to add versatility to a telephoto lens, and still get great close-up images. Using one of these filters on a telephoto lens blurs out visually distracting backgrounds and offers a fairly long working distance from the subject – useful for bugs and other creepy crawlers that you may not want to get too close to. Ultimately, the best way to learn what imaging accessories will help you get the quality of pictures you want is to take pictures. When something doesn’t work, go back to your camera store or camera club to find a solution that will get you past that particular problem. Experimentation is the best teacher. So, head on outside, with your camera and lenses ready to go, and keep taking pictures.

Only Lovers Left Alive At Bozeman Film Fest! The Bozeman Film Festival will screen Only Lovers Left Alive Thursday, June 12 at 7:30 pm in the Emerson’s Crawford Theater. Worth watching for Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton’s performances alone, Only Lovers Left Alive finds writer-director Jim Jarmusch adding a typically offbeat entry to the vampire genre. Set against the romantic desolation of Detroit and Tangier, an underground musician, deeply depressed by the direction of human activities, reunites with his resilient and enigmatic lover. Their love story has endured several centuries, but her wild and uncontrollable younger sister interrupts their debauched revels. Can these wise but fragile outsiders
continue to survive as the modern world collapses around them? “You don't so much watch this movie as slink into it, joining an unlikely pair of lovers and enjoying their slouchy elegance,” writes Seattle Times’ top critic, Moira MacDonald. Rated R, the film runs two hours. Tickets are $8 for general and $7 for students and seniors, available at Cactus Records and in the Emerson’s lobby one hour before the film. Enjoy a nohost social hour with the Zebra Cocktail Lounge from 6:30 – 7:30 pm. Visit Bozemanfilmfestival.org for previews and up-to-date information—and keep ‘em flickering!

Orthoceras: feet grew out of their heads

New Work by Molly Stratton
by Patti Albrecht
Opening Reception: Fri., June 13 5-8pm
Orthoceras is an extinct nautaloid that lived in the Devonian period, Paleozoic era, over 350 million years ago. Orthoceras was a marine mollusk. Although their soft bodies were not preserved, their ice-cream-cone-shaped shells were fossilized in great detail. They were the most advanced of the ancient invertebrates and had eyes, jaws and a sophisticated nervous system. Our present day squid and octopus are relatives of the orthoceras. This prehistoric squid lived in a chamber at the wide end of its cone shell. The tentacles that wriggled about outside of the shell were actually its feet that grew from the creature’s head! These tentacles could be used to help guide it while swimming or they were used for crawling on the ocean floor. It is believed that the orthoceras fed on whatever other small marine dwellers that were available, such as trilobites. The orthoceras was designed with impressive ways of locomotion. The majority of the length of shell of the orthoceras were vacated, empty chambers. Spaces where the creature had lived until it grew too large. Then it would seal off the old space from the new roomier chamber. These empty "rooms" would stay connected by a tube that ran the entire length of the shell. Through this tube, the orthoceras could control the amount of air that was in each chamber. If it wanted to float higher in the water, it would fill the spaces with more air. If it wanted to descend, it would release some. This ability to control air compression and decompression in its chambers, was studied and applied in the design of our submarines. At other times, the orthoceras wanted to move more quickly than the currents allowed. To accomplish this, it filled its chambers with water and then shot all the water out the wide end of its shell, accomplishing an incredible jet propulsion backwards. As the orthoceras died, its shells settled on the bottom of the sea floor. Fossilization preserved not only the shells, but also the detailed chambers and connecting tube. The color of the preserved fossil depends on the minerals that were in the ground water. One of the most striking, are the contrasting white and black preservation. It is believed that the ocean currents lined up the abandoned shells, hence most slabs with multiple fossils are aligned. Earth's Treasures displays a wide variety of fossils, including the orthoceras. Available as individual fossils, giant slabs with multiple shells or as bookends or plates. Visit Earth's Treasures and see the rare, beautiful and unexpected.
Local artist Molly Stratton unveils a new body of work during the first of the summer artwalks. Inspired by both lightness and light, weight and support, Stratton’s airy pieces combine vivid watercolor and delicate drawings created with thread. Meticulously detailed objects appear to lift off the page in Stratton’s luminous, vibrant work. A percentage of the proceeds from this show will be donated to Gallatin Valley Land Trust, conserving southwest Montana’s heritage of open landscapes, working farms and ranches, healthy rivers, and wildlife habitat. They also have a proud history of creating trails to connect people, communities and the land. The show will be on display through July 9, 2014. Opening reception will be held in tart, rooms 107B & C in the Emerson Center, 111 S. Grand Ave. Call 406-5820416 or visit tartique.com for more information.

Buy a house from those bad people and you’ll want to have chosen a title company that can help you resolve the matter as quickly as possible, whether that means reimbursing your investment or paying the real owner for the house so she can move to Florida for good. Schemes like this happen more often than you know – which is why choosing the right title company is so important.

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!

Everyone Deserves a Second Chance The fawn and white puppy, wearing a leather collar with no identifying tags, was found hiding behind a building in Belgrade and brought to our shelter by a concerned citizen. The pup was obviously a purebred Boxer. He was anxious –so stressed by the shelter environment that our Canine Behaviorist Ben Donoghue fostered the pup in his own home. He named him Choco, Spanish for “crash,” due to the excitable puppy’s tendency to dash around the house, crashing into everyone. Ben worked to re-establish trust, and our staff carefully matched Choco with the best possible person, an owner who declared that Choco would train to be a “service dog” that would remain bonded “for life.” Yet despite our diligence, two years later another concerned citizen alerted us to a dog in distress. This time when Animal Control arrived with Choco, he was fully mature but emaciated and even more anxious than he had been as a pup. We knew we had to act fast: Boxers are a smart and sensitive breed and combined with his history, Choco would continue to

Yet another winter is winding down after an actionpacked few months full of The snow, fun and entertaining Mag events. Having begun early azin e Of this year, winter seems toBig have gone on for a long vOl . 7 2014 time and snow continues -15 to fall. 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.
