A
Walk for recovery at American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life
ll of us know someone
who has been affected
by cancer; whether
they’re a survivor, caregiver, a family member,
or a loved one who has
passed. This summer,
the American Cancer
Society’s Relay for Life
will be hosting several
events throughout the Gallatin Valley and western Montana. Join the effort to fight cancer and
support survivors by participating in this moving
community event.
The American Cancer Society’s most successful fundraiser and the organization’s signature
event, Relay For Life aims to raise funds to
improve cancer survival, decrease the incidence of
cancer, and improve the quality of life for cancer
patients and their caretakers. In preparation for
the event, Relay For Life teams hold fundraising
events and ask for donations from friends and
family. At the event, teams camp out overnight
and take turns walking or running around a track
or path at a local high school, park, or fairground. Events are up to 24 hours long, and
because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked
to have at least one participant on the track at all
times. Relay For Life is organized as a public
gathering, spanning all day and night in a large
outdoor space. Many people bring tents and
camp out around the walking tracks. Currently,
almost 4 million people take part in Relay events
in over 5,000 communities in the United States.
Though every event is different, a typical
Relay For Life event features several key
moments: Relayers are welcomed to the event in
the Opening Ceremony. Next, the Survivors Lap
invites all cancer survivors at the event to take
their first lap around the track, celebrating their
victory over cancer as other participants cheer
them on. The Caregiver Lap is next, honoring
those who have given care to cancer patients.
The Opening Lap invites all teams to walk
together. After the sun sets, the Luminaria
Ceremony illuminates the track. Participants are
invited to light a candle in a bag to honor loved
ones who have passed, and then take a lap encircling all the glowing luminaria. Throughout the
rest of the evening, individuals walk throughout
the night. During this time there are also family
games, activities, and entertainment. After the
full 24 hours have passed, the event closes with
the Fight Back Ceremony. Relayers take a
final lap and pledge to take action and spread
awareness of cancer research, treatments, and
prevention.
Over the next few months, there are several
Relay For Life events scheduled to take place in
the surrounding area. On Friday, June 19th, there
will be Relays both at the MSU Track and Field
Complex in Bozeman and at Ennis High School
in Ennis. On Friday, June 26th, Helena’s Carroll
College will host a relay at Nelson Stadium.
There will be two Relays on Friday, July 24th —
one on the Kennedy Trail at Barrett Hospital in
Dillon, and one at Park High School in
Livingston. On Friday, August 8th, there will be a
Relay at Copper Mountain Park in Butte. Do
your part and sign up for a Relay this summer!

At the Table with
Seasonal Montana
One of the best things about
summertime is enjoying an outdoor
dinner with friends, eating delicious
food bursting with flavor and sipping
wine as the sun sets behind the
mountains. Summer produces the
most delicious
ingredients —
sun-ripened
vegetables,
fresh meats fed
on the healthy
grass beneath
your feet — it’s
practically a
crime not to
enjoy the bounty of the long,
sunny Montana
days.
This summer, Chef
Melissa
Harrison of
Seasonal
Montana will
be hosting At the Table farm dinners to take advantage of all the
goodness this season has to offer.
Dinners will take place throughout
the summer at or near the farms
from which the ingredients of diners’ meals will be sourced. To taste
the deliciousness of Montana summer, be sure to buy yourself a ticket!
The first At the Table dinner will
be hosted on Saturday, June 20th by
Wells Fargo Steakhouse. The steak
will be sourced from Sabo Ranch in
Harrison, Montana which specializes in raising grassfed beef, and live
music will be provided by Montana
Rose. The evening begins at 6 pm,
the band begins at 8 pm. Dinner
includes appetizers, a family style
dinner and a plated dessert. The
menu is written by Chef Mel and
the Seasonal Montana team.
Sabo Ranch is committed to
managing the land sustainably, keeping land and animals healthy for
future generations. They manage
their ranch lands and animals following organic principles, and thus
produce gourmet-quality grassfed
beef that is tender, full of flavor, and
nutrient dense.
Montana Rose, forged in the cru-
cible of cowboy bars throughout the
Rocky Mountain West, is arguably
one of the top cowboy bar bands
playing today. With eight recordings
available worldwide, and their songs
playing on the radio in more than
30 countries, Montana Rose has
come to embody the spirit of
“Americana”. A harmonious union
of the most recognizable genres of
American music blended into a
unique western style.
Seasonal Montana is dedicated
to the sustainable food movement,
working to build community
through food. Their culinary philosophy maintains that cooking should
be based on the finest and freshest
ingredients produced sustainably
and locally. Chef Mel is a passionate
advocate for a food economy that is
delicious, clean and fair. She procures ingredients from Montana
farmers, ranchers and producers
whose dedication to sustainable agriculture assures Seasonal Montana
with a consistent supply of fresh and
pure ingredients. Seasonal Montana specializes in
the customization of any occasion,
whether it be private farm dinners,
rehearsal dinners, weddings, corporate functions, or birthdays. The
Wells Fargo Steakhouse is located at
314 West Wallace Street, Virginia
City, Montana. Tickets are $65. For

Brewery Follies returns to Virginia City
The Brewery Follies of Virginia
City, Montana returns in 2015 to
Virginia City’s historic H. S. Gilbert
Brewery for another summer season
of belly laughs, celebrity impersonations, sketch comedy, and plenty of
music! This Hilarious Comedy
Cabaret, accompanied by your
favorite Montana micro brews and
standard domestic beer flavors, will
leave your stomach muscles sore for
days from laughing and guffawing.
Sunset Magazine called it “a
cabaret show wild enough for any
old-time miner. Christine Meyers of
The Billings Gazette said, “if there’s a
funnier or more polished show
around, I haven’t seen it.”
The mission of The Brewery
Follies is simple: to make you laugh
as they make fun of just about every
aspect you can think of in today’s
political and social landscape.
However, you might want to find a
sitter for the kids, because with
laughter and beer on tap some of
the Follies antics can be pretty irreverent. Of course, the nasty four let-
ter words are left out, but the jokes
might mean what those words
mean. The Brewery Follies is rated
well beyond PG-13!
This comedy show will keep you
talking for days! The Brewery Follies
2015 Season will run from now
through Saturday, September 26th.
Show times at 4 and 8 pm. Due to
mature content parental guidance is
suggested. Reservations are required.
Call (800) 829-2969 ext. 3.
Tickets are $20. Learn more at

Art exhibitions on
display at the Emerson
Bozeman artist Ella Watson’s
exhibit, Geysers, Pelts, and Mudpots, is
on display at the Jessie Wilber
Gallery now through Friday, June
26th. Her body of work focuses on
adaptations within the environment
and one’s self.
Ella uses nature
as a loose jumping
off point for her
work with the
organic influence
being most evident
in her use of fluid,
colorful forms. She
builds multiple layers of cold wax and
oil paint onto canvas to mimic the
awesome landforms
of Montana, then
scrapes and cuts
away at the surface
revealing depth and
color, which resemble the natural evolution of the earth.
Often, the scrapings will be used
Cottonwood
elsewhere within her
work, building a new layer, or
adding to another piece entirely.
Ella’s method of adding, taking,
rearranging and reevaluating is her
way of observing and embracing
change within herself as an artist, an
individual, and as a part of the vast,
living landscape. Ella values the
challenges presented by change in
her work and life. They force her to
constantly rethink and adapt to her
surroundings, which adds richness to
the everyday.
Ella Watson was born in Virginia
and studied Painting, Printmaking
and Sculpture at Virginia
Commonwealth University. She has
worked as a fabricator and installer
for various institutions as well as an
instructor of art and design at the
elementary and collegiate levels. In
2010, Ella self-published Liverwurst, a
compilation of images and writings
she created while waiting for a liver
transplant.
The Jessie Wilber Gallery is
located inside the Emerson and is
free and open to the public. Hours
are Tuesday through Friday from
noon to 5 pm and select Saturdays.

Edd Enders presents Local Flow;
Rivers, Roads, Sky in
the Lobby Gallery
at The Emerson
Center now
through Friday,
September 4th. A
Livingston native,
Enders presents a
series of paintings
in oil, which
reflect his observations and
emotional
response to life in
the Northern
Rockies.
He enjoys studying patterns,
shapes and relationships that surround him.
Enders’ vibrant
-Edd Enders
use of color relates
to an intimacy he has always felt
toward the environments of
Montana and the impact it has on its
inhabitants. He spent much of his
life as a guide, packer, wrangler, and
cowboy. These periods spent in isolated areas provided him ample time
to ponder, observe and draw. Enders
is not trying to depict hidden meanings or make social-political statements with his artwork; he is simply
relaying his feelings and interactions
with life through painting.
Edd Enders was born and raised
in Livingston, Montana. He studied
art at Montana State University and
is now a full time painter. Enders is
widely collected and has shown his
work in over one hundred exhibits
across the United States.
The Lobby Gallery, located
inside The Emerson, is free and open
to the public, viewable during building hours seven days a week. Learn

happen Friday, June 12th, and for
the first time, new gallery Art Beat
Gallery and Gifts will be participating! All of the artists in the gallery
will be featured!

clients (and beyond) own work by
Jerry Schmidt. Elaine Hansard adds
her incredible and imaginative limited edition bronze works. Her sculptures “Koi”, “Sea Horse” and
“Small Pegasus” and currently on
display at the gallery. Gregory
Swain has created a series of cards
from his whimsical paintings, so be
Elaine Hansard
sure to buy a card to go with that
gift. These cards could also be beautifully framed as a small print! There
are plans for Gregory to bring in his
original paintings very soon – we
hope to have them before the first
Art Walk.
Art Beat Gallery and Gifts carries an eclectic selection of local and
Montana art. While Western themes
may be present, most of the artwork
leans toward a refreshing, contemporary style. These pieces would be
equally at home in a traditional setting or a setting that is more urban.
Art Beat also offers a variety of gifts
that are designed and handcrafted
by local artists.
Also this summer, Art Beat will
be starting the “Artist in the
Window” series. Artists featured in
the gallery will be working on their
pieces in the gallery window for
passers-by to observe. The public is
welcome to come in and visit with
the artist — don’t be afraid to ask
questions! It’s all about learning
about the artist’s creative process.
Each featured window artist will
have extra work on hand for sale at
the time, so don’t miss out on a
learning experience as well as the
opportunity to choose from a greater
inventory of an artist’s work for that
time slot only. Watch for a notice in
the window advertising which artist
will be featured and when!
Art Beat is in McPhie Cabinetry
along with several other businesses
at 435 East Main Street. Look for
the dark green canopy over the store
front and the Art Beat sandwich
board outside. •

S.L.A.M. gears up for fifth
annual arts festival
S.L.A.M. (Support Local Artists
& Musicians) began five years ago
with a group of community members who saw that Bozeman was
rapidly outgrowing the number of
opportunities for artists and musicians. In response, they created an
organization geared specifically to
showcase local talent. In one weekend, the S.L.A.M. Festival provides a
platform for artists spread across the
great state of Montana, highlighting
not just the visual arts but culinary,
performance, and musical art, showcasing all of those things together in
one two-day event. The S.L.A.M.
Festival is free and open to the public and they present this opportunity
in hopes of getting support and
recognition for local artists from the
community.
This summer, the S.L.A.M.
Festival celebrates its fifth year and
anticipates seeing 10,000 or more in
attendance. In 2015, the S.L.A.M.
Festival will feature some new interactive art projects for attendees of
all ages. Spanning the entire park,
S.L.A.M. occupies not just the pavilion but also the lawn and the bandshell. There, the youth showcase
kicks off each day, featuring the upand-coming talent in the community, moving into more established acts
as the weekend progresses, featuring
all different types of genres.
S.L.A.M. is a three-pronged
organization that not only plans the
art festival but also provides grants
and scholarships for the pursuit of

always open to hearing proposals
from anyone who wants to further
art education. In the past, they have
given an annual scholarship to the
Worthy Student Scholarship at
Bozeman High, and established the
first Visual Arts Scholarship at the

college and going into education in
the arts.
Additionally, S.L.A.M. organizes
art installations in community
spaces. Right now, they have a frog
statue installed at Beall Park and a
fish statue at Bogert Park. Their next
upcoming installation will be functional bike racks in some of the
parks that are severely lacking bicycle parking. Eventually, they hope to
create a brick and mortar space to
host regular events, workshops, and
concerts.

Sign up for
F-11’s kid’s camp
Photography is a vivid language
that draws on the
imagination. Encourage your child’s
photographic creativity this summer
with Photography for Kids, a fun
and inspiring workshop facilitated by
Necia Erickson. A Bozeman native,
Erickson earned an Associate in
Photographic Communications and
Elementary Education from
Northwest College. She spent six
years as a staff member at F-11
Photo, and is now a Montessori preschool teacher. During extended
overseas adventures, Erickson did
documentary photography and
videography for several non-profit
groups. Erickson integrates photography and story telling into her
teaching.
Photography for Kids is for rising
5th through 8th graders and
runs Monday, July
27th through Thursday, July
30th from 2 to 5 pm. Students will
learn how to take great pictures and
how to express their unique ideas
through photography. Erickson will
introduce concepts like composition,
posing, lighting, perspective, cropping, and how to choose strong subject matter. Students will explore
images made by famous photographers and journal about what they
see. Short walking field trips will
invite students to try out the techniques they will have learned. Back
in the classroom, they will make
photo crafts and participate in class
critiques of work. A small class size
assures plenty of personal attention.
For more information, please call
F-11 Photographic Supplies at (406)
586-3281 or visit
www.f11photo.com. Tuition is $150
and pre-registration is required. F-11

The mission of Montana
Outdoor Science School is to promote an awareness, understanding,
and appreciation of the natural
world through quality educational
experiences. In 1994, Martha
Collins, Louise Forrest, and Martha
Kauffman started a summer camp
with the simple goal of creating fun,
hands-on nature experiences for
kids. Armed with experience as educators, mediators, scientists, authors,
and moms, the trio shared a vision
that our lives are enriched when we
have a greater understanding of our
natural surroundings. Today, the
summer camp has grown to offer
year-round courses for all ages. As
Montana Outdoor Science School
celebrates 21 years, the founders’
vision is even more compelling.

Improv Comedy! Once again we are
offering up a Monday Night sacrifice
of the most daring, death defying
type of live theater there is: Improv!
We call it Improv on the Verge!
Improv Monday Nights begin with
one of our Improv Team taking a
suggestion from the audience and
performing a short, comedic monologue which leads to the whole team
improvising sketches built around
the monologue. This is followed up
by an improv performance of games
and sketches by our masterful
Mainstage Players. It’s a mere $5 to
get in and laugh like hell at our team
of Southwest Montana S.W.A.T.
trained Improv Players. (S.W.A.T. =
SouthWest Alternative Theater).
Our final show of the 2014-2015
Season is on Monday, June 1st at 7
pm at Verge Theater. Visit vergetheater.com for reservations.
Keep your kids’ minds active this
summer by enrolling them in a
workshop that will get their creative
juices flowing! Our improv and theater classes are sure to be a highlight
of their summer.
In the Improv to Writing
workshop, instructor Molly Hannan
will help your child explore writing
his or her own material through
improv techniques and games.
Whether it’s comedy or drama,
there is nothing better than improv
to spark creativity and imagination.
Your child will learn how to put
those ideas to paper and finish in a
collaborative show on the final day
of the workshop. There is no need
for previous improv experience to
participate, just a willingness to
explore the unexpected! The Improv
to Writing workshop is for students
entering grades 6 - 12. It runs from
Monday, June 29th - Thursday, July
2nd from 12 - 3 pm. The performance demo is on Thursday, July 2nd
from 5 - 6:30 pm. Cost is $130.
Your child will learn the basics of
improv in instructor Paige Johnson’s
Improv workshop. Students will
practice skills such as active listening,
communication,
collaboration,
and concentration all while
having fun and
making new
friends. The
improv technique allows students to explore
their imaginations together
and will ultimately culminate in a show
full of fun and
hilarious games!
The Improv
workshop is for students entering
grades 3 - 5. It runs from Monday,
July 13th though Thursday, July 17th
from 12 - 3 pm. The performance

them to shine. Erin Roberg’s

Catch Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf by
Edward Albee is coming to
Livingston’s Blue Slipper Theatre.
Performances are running now
through Sunday, June 21st. Directed
by Francis Wendt, this production
stars Timothy A. Schaeffer as
George, Carmen Dunn as Martha,
Christopher DeJohn as Nick, and
Addy Scher as Honey.
George, a professor at a
small college, and his wife, Martha,
have just returned home, drunk
from a Saturday night party. Amidst
general profanity, Martha
announces that she has invited a
young couple to stop by for a
nightcap; an opportunistic new
professor at the college and his
shatteringly naïve new bride.
When they arrive the charade
begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes
clear that Martha is determined to
seduce the young professor, and
George couldn’t care less. But
underneath the edgy banter, which
is cross-fired between both couples,
lurks an undercurrent of tragedy
and despair. George and Martha’s
inhuman bitterness toward one
another is provoked by the enor-
mous personal sadness that they
have pledged to keep to themselves:
a secret that has seemingly been
the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in
which the distressed George and
Martha have taken refuge is
exposed, once and for all revealing
the degrading mess they have made
of their lives.
For reservations, call (406) 2227720. Tickets are $15 for adults and
$12 for students and seniors 60 and
over. The Blue Slipper Theatre is
located at 113 East Callender Street
in Livingston, Montana. •
MT Shakespeare in the Parks summer tour
Montana Shakespeare in the
Parks will perform Shakespeare’s
“The Taming of the Shrew” and the
classic “Cyrano de Bergerac” by
Edmond Rostand during its upcoming 2015 summer tour throughout
Montana, northern Wyoming, eastern Idaho, western North Dakota
and eastern Washington.
In its 43rd season, the company
has added two days to the tour and
performances in Spokane,
Washington and Sandpoint,
Idaho, to make it the largest tour
in its history. The company features 10 professional actors selected from national auditions who
tour without technical assistance
to bring live theatre to mostly
rural communities. This summer,
47 percent of the communities
reached by the troupe have populations of 2,000 or fewer.

Book Review: Endangered
You have little-to-no control.
Deny no more. You’ve finally
come to accept it: the future really
isn’t in your hands. You have no
control over others, either, which is
the hardest lesson to learn. And certainly, in the new book
“Endangered” by C.J. Box,
there’s no control over
who becomes victim
of a crime.
Wyoming Game
Warden Joe Pickett
was used to carnage.
He’d seen plenty of
blood from man and
beast, but the illegal
massacre of an entire
lek of politicallyloaded sage grouse
really set him back on
his heels. The slaughter had been senseless
and near-complete
but before he could
collect his thoughts or
evidence, Pickett
received a call that
made him forget about dead birds: a
girl resembling his daughter, April,
had been found in a roadside ditch,
beaten half to death.
Immediately, Pickett had his suspicions: some months before, April
had run away with rodeo star Dallas
Cates, the cocky youngest son of two
irritating edge-of-the-law lowlifes living nearby. Pickett was even more
suspicious when Brenda and Eldon
Cates showed up at the sheriff ’s
office, preemptively, to say that their
boy was innocent.
Dallas, they claimed, had been
badly hurt riding a bull. He couldn’t
have harmed April and besides,
April had broken up with Dallas .
Pickett doubted all that was true but
when April’s belongings were
discovered in the possession of a
local survivalist, he had to put his
skepticism aside.
But as April lay in a Billings hospital in a medically-induced coma,
Pickett learned that she wasn’t the
only VIP patient: his old friend,
Nate Romanowski, falconer and
sometime outlaw, was also hospitalized, having been shot by persons
unknown. Pickett thought Nate had
been set up; it appeared he’d been
ambushed in the middle of nowhere.
Now he, too, was unconscious.
Nate’s girlfriend,
Olivia Brannan,
and his van were
missing.
Pickett
sensed that the
Cates family was
somehow
involved – but
how? Surely it
was no coincidence that
Pickett’s daughter and his closest friend were
both hospitalized with lifethreatening
injuries. Could
the clues from
one massacre stop another?
No matter where you are in the
world, when you’ve got a book by
author C.J. Box in your hands,
you’re in the West. That may be due
to a mixture of characters, led by
the wonderfully stoic, thoughtful Joe
Pickett – or it may be due to the natural beauty of which Box so perfectly describes.
And in “Endangered,” he does a
lot of that: Pickett is sent all over
Wyoming and into Montana here,
which gives Box plenty of room for
literary roaming. Meanwhile back
home in Saddlestring, we’re left to
squirm with new Bad Guys that may
be the baddest that Box ever offered.
I wish you could see my copy of
this book. I read it hard because it
was that good. And yes, this is the
latest in a series but it can be read
alone, so don’t be afraid to give it a
try. Just be warned: once you start
“Endangered,” your reading time
may be out of control. •

Lunar XPRIZE — by landing a
robotic spacecraft on the moon for
the first time in more than 40 years.
This global competition is designed
to spark imagination and inspire a
renewed commitment to space
exploration, not by governments or
countries, but by the citizens of the
world. Who will win the $30 million
Google Lunar XPRIZE?
The Little Star That Could is
a fun new children’s show with
screenings on Saturdays and
Sundays at 12 noon. Join us for a
story about an average yellow star
on a search for planets of his own to
warm and protect. Along his way, he
encounters other stars, learns what
makes each star special, and discovers that stars can combine to form
clusters and galaxies. Eventually,
Little Star finds his planets, and
each is introduced to audiences
along with basic information about
the Solar System.
All shows and times are subject

And red all over
New features at this year’s Gallatin County Fair
Socrates said, “The secret of change is to
focus all of your energy, not on fighting the
old, but on building the new.” Management
with the Gallatin County Fair is focusing on
building the new this summer with night
shows, an expanded carnival, a new fair
entrance and most notable, free grounds entertainment with fair admission.
“We took a long, hard look at the balance
sheet for the Gallatin County Fair,” said
General Manager Lori Cox, who took over the
fairgrounds leadership role in January. “It was
obvious we had room for a change in the way
we conduct business. As we looked deeper, I
knew we were not offering families the best
entertainment deal their dollar could handle.”
Cox and her team eliminated all ticketing
fees for grounds entertainment inside the fair
gates, such as motor sports or pig wrestling
admissions. “The price of adult admission is
$8,” said Cox. “A person can go to the
motocross in the afternoon, the night show in
the evening, and visit vendors in between for
eight bucks. It simply doesn’t get any cheaper
than that.”
Entertainment has doubled in offerings
this year. On Thursday, July 16th, Gallatin
County Fair welcomes the Van Halen
Experience: Hot For Teacher, the top Van
Halen tribute band in the country. Arriving
from Los Angeles, the group’s performances
are so tight that most fans cannot tell the
difference between a Van Halen riff and a Hot
For Teacher riff.
On Friday, July 17th, country music superstar Terri Clark will perform, sponsored by
XL Country. Clark has sold more than five
million albums with six number-one hits such
as “Better Things To Do” and “Poor Poor
Pitiful Me”. She is
an eight-time
CCMA Entertainer
of the Year and has
taken home CCMA
Female Vocalist of
the Year. She is the
only Canadian
artist to be a member of the Grand
Ole Opry. Both
Hot For Teacher
and Terri Clark
perform in the
Anderson Arena.
In addition to
the night shows,
Gallatin County
Fair is bringing in
four days of motor
sports. With support from
Mountaineers 4X4 Club, Bozeman Jaycees
and Big Sky Motocross, the Fair will feature a
truck pull Thursday, a motocross Friday, a
mud bog Saturday and a demolition derby on
Sunday. “Motor sports is growing in the valley
with a wide variety of interests,” said Dennis
Voeller, operations manager for the
Fairgrounds. “The Mountaineers were excited
to be a part of what is changing here, and they
led the pace with our other groups to bring
new and exciting motorized entertainment to
the fair.” Motor sports action takes place in the
motor sports area, just north of the newly
placed carnival.
Voeller went on to note that with the building of the new ice rink, Northstar Carnival
will move to the north side of the two ice
rinks. “The carnival will expand its footprint
by 20 percent which will give them the opportunity to bring new and more thrilling rides,”
he said. While only part of the carnival will
be located on grass this year, the Fairgrounds
will plant the entire area this fall. “What a dif-
ference a lawn-like experience will make for
our fair,” said Voeller.
With the carnival movement, Cox said a
domino effect happened. “We knew we needed
to adjust our programming,” she said. “Then
we sank our teeth into the carnival change –
and realized that between that and the new
Oak Street entrance, we had an opportunity
at hand.” Guests arriving to the Fair this summer can now enter the grounds from the
north off of Oak Street, with the approach
just shy of the baseball stadium. A new 360stall parking lot is being installed and the new
interior road will connect with the traditional
south parking lot where guests would normally park. “As a result, we will offer new guest
box offices sponsored by Stahly Engineering –
one just to the south of the Gun Range and
the second entrance to the west of the new
north parking lot.” Guests can pay at these
gates with cash or credit card only. An express
line for those who purchase their admissions
early online will be available.
The Gallatin County Fair runs Monday,
July 13th through Sunday, July 19th. Monday
and Tuesday feature the Gallatin County
4-H Horse Show and gate admission is free.
Wednesday, July 15th, Northstar Carnival,
vendors and gate admission begin. Admission
is $8 for adults 13 years and over and $5 for
youth 6-12 years; kids five and under are free;
seniors are $6.
Check out the Fairgrounds new website
launched on Friday, May 29th! There are
multiple ways to save when guests buy their
admission and carnival tickets early. Go to

“chocolate.” Visitors to the exhibit will discover
the complete story behind the tasty and
remarkable treat everyone craves.
Through more than 200 objects and highly
detailed replicas, immersive exhibits, interactive
displays, and media, this engaging exhibition
explores chocolate throughout history and
around the world. Chocolate: The Exhibition
engages the senses and reveals facets of this
sumptuous sweet that most chocolate lovers
may have never thought about before. Visitors
will come to know the plant, the products, and
the culture of chocolate—all seen through the
lenses of science, history, and popular culture.
To complement the exhibit, the Museum

includes a chocolate and coffee tasting, on both
Tuesday, July 21st and Thursday, August 13th.
Chocolate: The Exhibition will run through
Monday, September 7th, 2015. Presenting
sponsor for the exhibit is NorthWestern Energy.
Assisting sponsors are Ghost Town Coffee
Roasters and La Chatelaine Chocolat Co.
Chocolate and its national tour were developed
by The Field Museum, Chicago. The exhibition was supported, in part, by the National
Science Foundation.
Museum of the Rockies is both a collegelevel division of Montana State University and
an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit institution.
Accredited by the American Alliance of
Museums, MOR is one of 776 museums to
hold this distinction from the more than 17,500

A look at Hugelkultur
Composting
By Zelpha Boyd
First let me explain composting. This is
where all excess garden vegetation, grass clippings, and kitchen scraps are put on a pile in
the corner of the garden area. Left to decay,
they compost down into viable soil. The
experts in the field suggest layering the material—green, brown, green, brown—
but seldom do I have the “right”
materials all at the same time. So
my pile consists of what I have at
the moment—just all piled up
there in the corner. It’s not rocket
science; the materials will decay,
without much thought or care.
However, a little water and a turning now and again, will hasten the
process.
One problem that I’ve had with
my compost pile is that I have a lot
of heavy, rough material—sunflower and corn stocks—that are
really slow in decaying. I’ve explored
ways of breaking this material down into
smaller pieces to encourage decomposition,
but have yet to find a solution. Then I heard
about the Hugelkultur Garden, I thought,
Why not? Why couldn’t I make my compost
pile into a Hugelkultur Garden?
The term Hugelkultur Garden is new to
most of us. This is a method for making a
Hill Garden where crops may be planted. The
whole structure is a huge mound and can be
terraced to expand the growing surface. How
to make a Hugelkultur Garden? Simply stated
one piles wood—tree trunks, brush, tree
branches, wood chips—into a pile say about 6
to 10 feet high. This material is compressed
down as much as possible. Then soil is placed
on top, mounded, terraced and planted.
The idea behind this way of gardening is
that the wood, as it decays provides valuable
materials for growing plants. The roots
reach down into the pile searching for water,
thus helping the decaying process. As the
wood decays it becomes like sponges,
soaking up water for the growing plants. As
the pile or mound shrinks, more wood and
soil may be added.
What a marvelous idea! The wood is saved
from the landfill and put to use, and gardening areas are expanded. At the Black Robin
Farm and Orchard here in Bozeman, Brock
Albin has created such a garden. His
Hugelkultur Garden is a crescent shape
around the north side of the pond that he’s
produce from local farmers, arts & crafts, nonprofits, live music, children’s activities, and a
plethora of dinner options. Grab some groceries, get that gift made locally for your
friend’s upcoming birthday, learn something
new about one of the amazing non-profits in
town, hang out with friends and family, and
not have to cook dinner! The Bogert Farmers’ Market is fun for the
whole family! For more information, visit
www.bogertfarmersmarket.org. And remember: Life is a garden. Dig it! •
creating. He’s covering the wood materials
with the dirt dug from the pond. The berm,
facing south uses the sun’s heat and light efficiently, creating a microclimate. Here he
hopes to grow tender crops such as melons, as
well as apricot and peach trees. Tomatoes,
corn, and cucumbers will also benefit from
this warmer, wind protected microclimate.
Back to my compost pile. In the corner
of my yard, behind the greenhouse, is
where I put all the excess from garden and
kitchen. The rough stuff, as I mentioned,
just sits there. The pile looks pretty sad,
and it takes a long time before I have
usable compost. When I need some, I try to
fork off the top layers and pull good soil
from the bottom. This turns the pile to
some extent.
But I thought: why couldn’t I simply pull
composted material from the bottom of the
pile, put it on top and plant in those pockets
of good earth? In doing this, I’ve created a
miniature Hugelkultur or Hill Garden. The
peas I’ve planted are already about 3 inches
high. Since it’s to be a permanent garden, I
can also add trimmings from the Lilac and
Spirea. And I won’t have to struggle with
moving the partially composted material
around. What an ingenious idea!
Will this work? Ya sure, you betcha!
Please come by and take a look this summer. We’ll examine the results together.
Contact me at [email protected] or call
(406) 219-3534.

Public hearing on Tongue
River Railroad
Yellowstone Valley Citizens
Council will host a People’s Hearing
on the Tongue River Railroad: What
It Means and What You Can
Do on Wednesday, June 3rd, from 6 to
7:30 pm in the Billings Public Library
Community Room. The hearing is
free and open to the public. Guest
speaker will be Clint McRae, a
Colstrip-area rancher whose land
would be condemned if the Tongue
River Railroad is built.
First proposed in the 1977, the
proposed Tongue River Railroad
(TRR) would traverse southeastern
Montana, using the power of federal
eminent domain to condemn the land
of farmers and ranchers in its path.
The sole purpose of the TRR is to
haul coal from the unpermitted Otter
Creek strip mine, through Billings and
other Montana communities, in order
to export the coal to Asia.
According to the draft
Environmental Impact Statement, the
TRR would increase train traffic
through Billings by up to 26 full and
empty trains per day, adding to the 32
trains a day that currently traverse
downtown Billings.
The Gallatin River Task Force
will be working on two large-scale
restoration projects this summer:
one on the Upper West Fork in
Meadow Village and the other at
river access sites along the Gallatin
corridor. The Upper West Fork
project is a three-year project primarily funded by the Montana
Department of Environmental
Quality 319 program that will
enhance streamside vegetation and
stabilize stream banks at 15 sites.
Streamside vegetation helps
protect water quality by removing
sediment and nitrates from runoff
and by keeping water temperatures
low by providing shade for coldwater loving trout. Stream bank
stabilization reduces erosion of
fine sediment, which can harm fish
and aquatic insect habitat.
The Gallatin corridor project
will prioritize and develop stream
restoration projects that reduce
impacts from increased river use
that facilitate fine sediment transport to the stream (stream bank
erosion, vegetation loss, and gullying of access routes). The Task
Force is partnering with the Custer
Gallatin National Forest on this
project.
The Gallatin River Task Force
is a locally led non-profit 501 (c)(3)
watershed group headquartered
along the famous Gallatin River in
Big Sky, Montana. The Task Force
is governed by a board of community members representing a wide
variety of stakeholders including:
homeowners, recreation business
owners, teachers, and local water
resource managers. To learn more,

“We see that the Tongue River
Railroad, if built, would result in
many negative impacts to Billings and
very few benefits,” said Larry Bean,
chair of the coal export committee of
Yellowstone Valley Citizens Council.
“More train traffic through Billings
means more time waiting at at-grade
crossings and delayed emergency
response vehicles—which threaten the
safety and productivity of our community. Since the Surface
Transportation Board is not holding
a public hearing in Billings to hear
these concerns, we will host one
ourselves.”
The public is invited to attend the
Billings People’s Hearing on the

Environmental Impact Statement. All
comments will be submitted to the
Surface Transportation Board, the

The Gallatin Valley Land Trust
has worked hard over the last 25
years to build an extensive 80 mile
trail system that connects
Bozeman’s Main Street to the
mountains that surround us. The
Main Street to the Mountainstrail
system has trails for all abilities
and they are accessible from neighborhoods all over town. In order to
help people explore the great community trail system, GVLT is
launching the first season of
Discovery Walks: Trail
Exploration Series from
Wednesday, June 3rd through
Saturday, June 27th. Join GVLT
volunteers to walk, talk, and
explore the trails while meeting
new people and learning something new along the way. These
guided educational walks are just
an hour long, totally free, and
open to the public. During the
walks, volunteers and local experts
will be hosting short talks and
activities about topics such as yoga,
outdoor photography, bird identification, wildflower identification,
railroad history, bouldering, and
more!
Many of the walks are geared
toward families and kids, such as a
kid’s nature walk with the Montana
Outdoor Science School and a
Trail Read with the Bozeman
Library Children’s Librarians.
Twice a month GVLT will host Biz
Walks, a networking lunch hour
with other business professionals on
the trails. All participants will get a
free trail map at the end of the
walk so they can find other trails to
explore on their own.
Trail walks do not require an
RSVP. Dogs are not allowed on
walks. The full schedule for June is
located online at www.gvlt.org/discoverywalks. Meeting locations for
walks and Google maps are also
located on the website. Non-profits
and businesses can contact GVLT
to schedule a walk for their participants or employees. For more

Yellowstone to increase entrance fees
Starting on Monday, June 1st,
Yellowstone National Park will
increase entrance fees for visitors
in order to fund important
resource protection and visitor
facility projects within the park. “We use our entrance fees to
complete critical projects that benefit park visitors and our natural
resources,” said Yellowstone
Superintendent Dan Wenk.
“Eighty percent of the revenue we
collect stays right here in
Yellowstone and funds projects
including road repairs, campground upgrades, rehabilitation of
park structures, accessibility
improvements for people with disabilities, radio and utility systems
improvements, native fish restoration, and aquatic invasive species
mitigation.”
The park estimates that the
new entrance fees will generate
$11 million of revenue per year,
approximately $3 million greater
than current entrance fee revenue. The entrance fee for vehicles
will be $30 to visit Yellowstone
National Park for 1-7 days. Grand
Teton National Park will have a
separate pass for $30. People visiting both parks can save $10 by
purchasing a $50 two-park vehicle
pass, also valid for 1-7 days.
Motorcycles can enter Yellowstone
for $25 for 1-7 days or both parks
for $40. Per person fees will be $15
for Yellowstone or $20 for both
parks. Yellowstone’s annual pass
will be $60. This pass offers visitors in the local area an option
that is less expensive than the $80
Interagency Pass. The Interagency
Pass rates will remain the same:
Annual ($80) and Senior ($10).
Military passes and Access passes
(for people with permanent disabilities) will remain free. Yellowstone National Park is a
strong economic engine for the
region and local communities. In
2014, the park generated $543.7
million in economic benefits and
directly supported over 6,600 jobs.
Previous fee increases have had no
effect on visitation levels. The last
entrance fee increase in
Yellowstone National Park
occurred in 2006 when fees were
raised from $20 to $25 for private
vehicles. •

MSU finds higher returns with pulse crops
Jenny Lavey, MSU News Service
Wheat growers who grow both
pea and wheat in their fields are
likely to lessen the economic risks of
farming while maintaining the same
level of profits as those who grow
only wheat or leave a field fallow,
according to a group of Montana
State University scientists. The scientists recently published their findings in Agronomy Journal.
“Across the state, farmers for a
long time have been touting the
benefits of pulse crops, so it’s nice to
have detailed data pulled from an
economic analysis that proves pulse
crops are a safe bet, at least in
(more) moist areas of the state,”
said Perry Miller, an MSU land
resources and environmental sciences professor and the lead author
of the study.
Miller, along with a team of
researchers that included MSU Soil
Fertility Extension Specialist Clain
Jones and Agricultural
Economics Assistant
Professor Anton Bekkerman from
the MSU College of Agriculture,
compared six cropping systems over
a four-year period, following a sixyear soil transition period. Those
cropping systems were: fallow followed by wheat (both tilled and
no-till), continuous wheat, pea
followed by wheat, pea that
could be marketed for grain followed by wheat, pea that could
be used for forage followed by
wheat, and pea that was terminated and used as manure followed by wheat. The research
team also performed an analysis
of these systems when high
and low rates of commercial
nitrogen fertilizer were applied
at seeding.
Their research showed pea
is an agronomic and economic
benefit to wheat cropping systems, for several reasons.
First, the organic nitrogen—
a by-product of pea and a vital
fertilizer that can be used by a
successive planting of wheat—
was utilized by the wheat as it
grew and served as a reserve
when there was excess moisture in
2010, Miller said.
Second, pea followed by wheat
cropping systems consistently provided increased economic return
stability and strong protein levels
in wheat, despite the extra costs
associated with these systems,
such as additional seeding costs,
according to Miller.
He added that buying and
applying commercial nitrogen is
often an immense cost for farmers. Ultimately, however, growing
pea in a wheat system required
less commercial nitrogen than in
wheat systems that don’t grow pea
or other pulse crops.
The organic nitrogen from
the pea also contributed to
higher protein premiums, according to Bekkerman, who said consistently securing protein premium is important to maintain
profitability.
During dry years, markets
value higher protein wheat less,
Bekkerman noted, because there
is typically a surplus of high protein grain across most Montana
markets. Conversely, protein price
discounts are higher during wetter
years when many farmers have
higher yields but lower
protein content.
The study suggested that in a
wetter year, more organic nitrogen
was released, and in a drier year,
less nitrogen was released (to align
with lower yields).
The nitrogen levels in the soil
from pea helped increase yield and
protein of the wheat crop, according to Jones. At the same time, the
nitrogen levels added benefits to the
soil for future crops. These benefits
were not found in continuous wheat
and fallow followed by wheat cropping systems.
Because moisture levels are not
known in advance and can be different from year to year, a market’s
estimate of protein content, and a
producer’s economic return, must
be evaluated for both high and low
moisture scenarios, Bekkerman said.
To get a sense of historical difference in protein markets,
Bekkerman analyzed data from 40
different Montana grain elevators
over the last 12 years. Of those
years, seven had low-protein discounts and five had high-protein
discounts.
From his data set, Bekkerman
found that in moist environments
(that allowed for more intensive
grain pea–wheat systems), average
additional annual net revenue was
$75 per acre higher than a no-till
fallow–wheat system, regardless of
the nitrogen rate or the differences
in how much markets value protein
across years. In less intensive systems, such as growing pea for forage
or for manure systems followed by
wheat (pea-based systems), economic
outcomes depended on the applied
nitrogen rate. When the full amount
of recommended nitrogen rate
was applied, both the pea-based
and traditional fallow followed by
wheat approaches had approximately the same net revenues and
risk. However, when half of the
recommended nitrogen rate was
used, four-year economic returns
for pea-based systems were, on
average, $86 higher per acre and
economic returns for the peabased systems were 50 percent less
risky, Bekkerman said.
Bekkerman said that the study
found producers who reduce
nitrogen input using fallow and
wheat only are likely to have
lower returns with more
economic risk. •

MSU study showing more efficient forests
MSU News Service
European forests became nearly
20 percent more efficient at using
water during the 20th century
because of increases in atmospheric
carbon dioxide, although, surprisingly, this didn’t result in regional
water savings, according to an international consortium that involved
Montana State University.
The research team published its
results May 11th in Nature Climate
Change, a monthly journal dedicated to publishing the most significant
and cutting-edge research on the
science of climate change, its
impacts and wider implications for
the economy, society and
policy. Ben Poulter, an MSU faculty
member with a dual appointment
in the ecology
department and Montana Institute
on Ecosystems, was one of the
co-authors.
The researchers discovered the
increased efficiency after investigat-
ing the consequences of greater
amounts of atmospheric carbon
dioxide on plant functioning and
feedbacks to the environment. They
noted that leaves play a major role
in global terrestrial carbon and
water cycles, with more than 100
kilograms of water passing through
the tiny stomatal pores to photosynthesize one kilogram of sugars.
Changes in how ecosystems cycle
water under increasing atmospheric
carbon dioxide concentrations have
implications for flooding, soil moisture and climate.
The team began its study by collecting tree rings from Morocco to
Norway and measuring carbon isotopes to determine variations in
water efficiency, which is defined as
the amount of water needed to
assimilate a given amount of carbon. They also used statistical techniques and model simulations to
determine how trees and forests
responded to climate variations and
Yellowstone seeks public
comment
Yellowstone National
Park, in coordination
with partner agencies
Montana Fish, Wildlife &
Parks, Wyoming Game &
Fish Department and the
U.S. Forest Service, is
seeking public input on a
proposed project to
remove nonnative brook
trout from Soda Butte
Creek and re-introduce
genetically pure
Yellowstone cutthroat
trout into the stream. The objective is to remove brook
trout by applying an EPA-approved
piscicide (rotenone) to Soda Butte
Creek upstream of Ice Box Canyon.
The project will restore an important
fishery in upper Soda Butte Creek
and serve to protect cutthroat trout
populations of the entire Lamar
River watershed from future invasion by nonnative brook trout.
Genetically pure Yellowstone cutthroat trout populations have
declined throughout their natural
range in the Intermountain West,
succumbing to competition with and
predation by nonnative fish species,
a loss of genetic integrity through
hybridization, habitat degradation,
that plant responses to increased
carbon dioxide will substantially
increase soil moisture or river
run-off.”
By accounting for climate
change and its influence on the
behavior of stomata – microscopic
openings in the leaves — the
researchers said the study provides
benchmark information about how
trees respond to increased carbon
dioxide. They added that one of the
key uncertainties in projecting
global climate is how the models
represent the carbon cycle, but they
were pleased with how their study
handled that.
“We were able to compare the
tree-ring-based estimates with various vegetation models and were
pleased to see tight agreement. This
sort of testing helps us understand
where we can further improve models, or in this case gives us confidence in the model projections for
these ecosystem metrics,” said coauthor Chris Huntingford, a climate
modeler at the Center of Ecology
and Hydrology in the United
Kingdom.
David Frank, lead author of the
study and a dendroclimatologist at
the Swiss Federal Research Institute
WSL, noted that “Tree-ring data
provide one of the unique opportunities to obtain long-term records of
ecosystem responses to climate
change.”
Poulter said the research also
showed the importance of studying
processes on a variety of scales,
from the stomata to ecosystems.
“Deep insights into the complex
array of earth system feedbacks
are only possible by coordinating
large interdisciplinary research
teams and approaches integrating
both empirical data and model
results,” Poulter said. •

that point, the NPS and State will
analyze and consider all feedback
received and begin the preparation of the Draft EIS. This new bison management
plan will replace the Interagency
Bison Management Plan (implemented since 2001) taking into
account available science and
agency experience in managing
bison. The new plan will serve as
a management guideline aiming to
conserve a wild and migratory
population of Yellowstone-area
bison, while minimizing the risk of
brucellosis transmission between
these wild bison and livestock to
the extent practicable.
A Record of Decision related
to this new bison management
plan is expected to be approved in
mid-to-late 2017. Until then, management of bison in the
Yellowstone area will continue
under the current Interagency
Bison Management Plan. •

Red Ants Pants is just around the corner!
The Red Ants Pants music festival is heading your way this July 2015! Music lineups
have officially been announced — let’s take a
sneak peek at a few of the artists who will be
taking the Red Ants Pants stage this year:
Holly Williams will grace the main stage
on Saturday, July 25th. Hailing from one of
the most famous lineages in American music
would surely create challenges for other artists
to create their own identity, but not for this
singer-songwriter. The granddaughter/daughter of Hank Williams, Sr. & Hank Williams, Jr.
respectfully, makes her independence evident
on her third studio album — The Highway —
released on her own imprint, Georgiana
Records, earlier this year. Co-produced by
Williams and Charlie Peacock (The Civil
Wars), The Highway contains 11 original tracks
written or co-written by Williams and features
guest vocals from Jackson Browne (“Gone
Away From Me”), Jakob Dylan (“Without
You”), Dierks Bentley (“’Til It Runs Dry”),
and Academy Award winner Gwyneth Paltrow
(“Waiting On June”).
Taking the main stage on Saturday, July
25th, Americana powerhouse trio Red Molly
is known for their gorgeous harmonies, infectious songwriting, and
captivating stage presence. Laurie
MacAllister (bass),
Abbie Gardner
(Dobro), and Molly
Venter (guitar) weave
together the threads of
American music—from
folk roots to bluegrass,
from heartbreaking
ballads to barn-burning honky tonk—as
effortlessly as they
blend their caramel
voices into their signature crystalline, threepart harmonies.
Nitty Gritty Dirt
Band performs
Sunday, July 26th on
the main stage. Nearing
their 5th decade together,
the iconic and profoundly influential Nitty
Gritty Dirt Band, often cited as a catalyst for
an entire movement in Country Rock and
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
American Roots Music, continues to add to
their legendary status.
With multi-platinum and gold records,
strings of top ten hits such as “Fishin’ In The
Dark” and “Mr. Bojangles”, multiple
Grammy, IBMA, CMA Awards and nominations, the band’s accolades continue to accumulate. Their groundbreaking Will The Circle
Be Unbroken album has been inducted into the
U.S. Library of Congress as well as the
Grammy Hall of Fame. NGDB’s recording of
“Mr. Bojangles” was also inducted into the
Grammy Hall of Fame in 2010. In 2014
“Fishin’ In the Dark” was certified platinum
for digital downloads by the RIAA. Today,
NGDB (Jeff Hanna, Jimmie Fadden, Bob
Carpenter, John McEuen) continue their nonstop touring in their 49th year together.
Recent tour stops included Stagecoach,
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, and many
more. The plans for their 50th anniversary
are said to be extensive! Learn more at
www.nittygritty.com.

performance includes guitars, percussion and a variety of
looping effects pedals,

rock and roll. Kristen is
a Massachusetts native,
with a traveler’s
heart. She is currently
spending the foreseeable
future on the road, living in her van, and promoting her latest
album, Tighten It
Up. With this album,
Kristen explores the format of looping vocals and guitar
riffs, specifically writing for the sum
of her moving parts: loopers, drums,
vocals and stringed instruments.
Within the constraints of that technology, a stacked and ambient vibe
emerges, underpinning Ford’s
ability to be acoustically brooding
one moment, explosive and epic
the next.
Kristen is on a never-ending tour
in support of her
new release, Tighten It Up, which is

McMurtry to play Wells Fargo Steakhouse
This Sunday, May 31st, celebrated Americana singer/songwriter
James McMurtry will be playing at
the Wells Fargo Steakhouse in
Virginia City. McMurtry is the quintessential Americana artist, seamlessly combining rock, country and folk.
Though active since 1989, he
recently released his first studio
album in six years, Complicated Game.
McMurtry spins stories with a poet’s
pen and a painter’s precision, but
with a healthy dose of cynicism.
Complicated Game tells the story of the
common man, whether it be a
farmer, rancher, bartender, or fisherman. He weaves social commentary
into personal experience, creating a
lyrically-driven narrative of an
album. “It’s a little about the big old
world verses the poor little farmer or
fisherman. I never make a conscious
decision about what to write about.”
Be sure to catch McMurtry’s
show Sunday, May 31st at 9 pm at
the Wells Fargo Steakhouse in
Virginia City. Tickets are $25 in
advance, $30 at the door. For more
information, visit www.wellsfargosteakhouse.com. •

catchy storytelling melodies. Ball is
strongly influenced by ‘70s folk and
rock. You can hear his music on his
website, chadballmusic.com.
Neil Filo Beddow plays original folk rock for the soul. He
describes his guitar style as the West
Dakota stutter — his lyrically scrambled iambic pentameter can be politically bent, spiritually seeking,
tongue in cheek humorous with just
a twist of serious. He will be playing
on Saturday, June 6th. A sampling of
music can be found on
soundcloud.com/neil-filo-beddow.
As a duo that presents a full band
sound, the music of You Knew Me
When parades between a fusion of
progressive indie-rock and folk compositions all infused with a myriad of
pulsing and stirring beats. It’s the
percussive elements and rhythmic
nuances that set this band apart
from typical folk fare. Their catchy
melodies are deepened with beautiful harmonies and colored with pillowy acoustic guitar. Be sure to catch
their show on Sunday, June 7th.

On Saturday, June 13th, Wild
Joe*s welcomes Matt Campbell
back to the stage. Campbell is an
American troubadour, the likes of
Woody Guthrie
and Ernest Tubb.
That is to say, as a
songwriter and
performer
Campbell covers
considerable
ground. Part poet,
politician, and
provocateur, he is a
familiar and timeless presence. He
almost always
wears a hat, and
offers a handshake
and a smile. With
vivid lyrical
imagery and lingering melody, he
sings songs that raise questions, that
give thanks, that stir up long forgotten and fleeting memories. Across
the guitar strings, his fingers drive
like a freight train, or pluck gently
like a feather bed. His voice is like
no one else....remarkably, his own,
too convincing to be classic. Wild
Joe*s has invited him back time and
time again for a reason...be sure to
catch his performance!
On Friday, June 19th, Megan
Makeever will be playing her first
show at Wild Joe*s. A soulful young

from Global Music Awards (2011).

flautist and is currently a Graduate

and blues songstress Jami Lynn
will take the Lockhorn stage. Lynn
has made her mark on the Midwest.
Hailing from the Great Plains of
eastern South Dakota, the
singer/songwriter began performing
folk and bluegrass music at the age
of thirteen. It took little coaxing
from her grandfather to make the
transition from the audience to the
stage, where old-time country,
polka, and regional folk music
reigned supreme. At the age of sixteen, Jami began accompanying
herself on guitar and writing her
own music. After high school, Jami
Lynn attended the University of
South Dakota majoring in Vocal
Performance. It was during these
years that she met up with members
of Sioux Falls folk-rock band
Snakebeard Jackson, and recorded
her first album, Dreamer, as Jami
Lynn & The Aquila Band. Music
blog Nine Bullets says of Lynn,
“...[her] voice shifts easily from
indie rock croon to a full bodied
gospel to a traditional folk storyteller, making each song unique...”
This lovely lady’s show is not to be
missed!

feet, dancing their hearts out.

Take a weekend retreat to Chico
Chico Hot Springs is the perfect
location for your getaway...not too
long of a drive, but also just far
enough away to leave your troubles
elsewhere. The historic resort is
located in the heart of Paradise
Valley, just north of Yellowstone
National Park and nestled in the
foothills of the breathtaking
Absaroka Mountain Range. Chico
offers an extraordinary variety of
accommodations, exceptional dining, outdoor adventures, live entertainment, ultimate relaxation, all
with a warm smile and welcoming
spirit from their friendly staff. One
activity worth noting at Chico is the
live music that’s featured during
select evenings all year round.
Here’s a look at what they have
coming up in June:
Chico welcomes Bottom of
the Barrel to the stage on Friday,
June 5th and Saturday, June 6th.
Though the band admits to having
many musical influences, the true
voice of this band is distinctly country…hard driving, classic outlawstyle country mingled with softer
melodies and honest lyrics provide
the launch pad for this band. Since
the fall of 2011, BOTB has been
touring and performing together as
one of SW Montana’s best country
rock bands. A collaboration of
friends and co-open mic performers,
the four members of BOTB have
known each other and performed
together (in many random arrangements) for a number of years. This
particular arrangement of musical
talent has allowed the members of
BOTB to refine their sound and
style to reflect their love of the good
life and their love for a good time.
Whether it’s a rowdy cover of their
favorite Hayes Carll or Loretta Lynn
song, or an original dance number
like “Wallflower” or “Robert Keen
Tunes”, BOTB will help you release
your inner hillbilly. With roots dug
deep into outlaw and classic country
combined with many other influences, BOTB combines the classic
country honky-tonk sound with a
picking up culture and influences
from musicians and eccentrics in
Kentucky, Tennessee, Montana, and
overseas.
Friday, June 19th and Saturday,
June 20th, Honky Tonk Heroes
will be putting on a boot stompin’
show at Chico. Covering legends like
George Jones and Willie Nelson to
Nashville’s current kings like Jason
Laney Lou & the Bird Dogs

Bleachers. Under the Bleachers
features Tim Borsberry on drums
and backing vocals, Scott Williams
on guitar and lead vocals, and Pat
Borsberry (Tim’s brother) on bass
and backing vocals. The band’s
playlist offers a sweeping catalog of
class and modern rock.
On Sunday, June 14th, Charlie
Denison will be playing a set of
rock, soul, and Americana music.
Originally from the suburbs of
Indianapolis, Denison has become a
soul troubadour through the years,
Aldean and Jake Owen, the
Honkytonk Heroes play classic and
contemporary country from the past
six decades. This isn’t a set full of
tears-in-your-beers ballads either.
We’re talking about a two-hands-onthe-steering-wheel, pedal-to-themetal country party band!
Friday, June 26th and Saturday,
June 27th, join Arizona’s Western
Electric. Western Electric plays a
tantalizing mix of pop tunes from
the ‘50s, ‘60s ‘70s and lots of the latest country dance music. It’s music
you’ll recognize and enjoy - at a volume that’s just right!

Pray, Montana, 20 miles south of
Livingston. Come sip, soak, and
swing! For more information, call

Girlschool to play Faultline North
Legendary all girl British hard
rockers Girlschool are gearing up
to storm North America for the first
time in 20 years, joined on their
Guilty As Sin tour by Crucified
Barbara, leaders of the new wave
of female hard rockers.
Girlschool came together in 1978
in London, England and within two
years landed a record deal and
recorded their first album, produced
by Vic Maile, well known for his
work on The Who’s Live at Leeds and
Motörhead’s Ace of Spades. Soon they
had toured the world with the
biggest names in heavy metal such
as Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Rush,
Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Deep
Purple, Rainbow, and Blue Öyster
Cult. In 2013, Girlschool celebrated
their 35th anniversary, returning to
Japan for the first time in 12 years
and toured South America for the
first time.
Crucified Barbara originally
formed in Stockholm, Sweden as a
punk rock band in 1998 but soon
changed their style to hard rock.
They signed their first record deal in
2003. To date they have released
four albums and this is their second
tour of North America. Old James

30th Montana Cowboy Poetry Gathering
Whether a marriage, business
venture or tenure of employment,
30 years is a benchmark event! This
Thursday, August 13th - Sunday,
August 16th, the Montana Cowboy
Poetry Gathering & Western Music
Rendezvous will celebrate its 30th
Anniversary in Lewistown, MT.
The Montana Cowboy Poetry
Gathering is the 2nd oldest cowboy
poetry gathering in the country...a
“signature event” for Lewistown,
MT, a town located in the geographic middle of Montana that is already
100% western and devoted to agriculture much the same as it was 120
years ago. Cowboy hats, boots, big
belt buckles, trucks and trailers are
the rule, not the exception in
Lewistown. Lewistown even has a
livestock auction every Tuesday!
Lewistown was recently selected as
one of Montana’s most “beautiful
towns” by theculturetrip.com. Main
Street looks much as it did when
gold prospectors, cattle kings and
lumber barons came to town for
business and pleasure as the
Montana Territory transitioned from
‘open range’ to statehood.
The Saturday night Grand Stage
June’s freshest tunes &
produce at farmers market
Show at the 880-seat Fergus Center
for the Performing Arts stars RED
STEAGALL, poet laureate of Texas
with special guest, songster, Dave
Stamey. The show will be MC’d by
Craig Nelson, cowboy poet extraordinaire. Tickets for the show are available at montanacowboypoetrygathering.com, at Don’s Store in Lewistown,
or by calling 406-538-4575.
Montana Cowboy Poetry is dedicated to preserving and celebrating
the history and heritage of the
American cowboy of the Upper
Rocky Mountain west. More than
that, re-connecting with ancestral
roots, whether of the west, mid-west,
or immigrant forbearers, is a growing passion among Americans today.
The earthy, steady, common sense
ethics and principles of the
American Cowboy ring true with so
many today as they look back down
their own family history lines. The
authenticity and relevancy of cowboy poetry makes it a growing pursuit among so many today wanting
to re-connect with the values and life
styles of their forefathers.

Since the early ‘70s, the
Bozeman community has been
holding farmers’ markets at Bogert
Park and they are excited to continue that tradition! Each year The
Bogert Farmer’s Market (BFM)
starts the first Tuesday in June and
runs consecutively for 17 Tuesdays
throughout the summer. The market
is dedicated to the promotion of
local growers, artisans, crafters,
musicians, non-profits, small businesses, and culinary artists. The
Bogert Farmers’ Market is a place
for families and friends to gather,
socialize, support local, and share in
a fun-filled community environment!
This summer will bring many talented musicians to the stage to serenade
shoppers and perusers alike, on the
Market Stage and in the Band Shell.
Be sure to arrive at the market by 5
pm to catch the band’s full set!
On Tuesday, June 2nd, Laney
Lou & the Bird Dogs will play on
the Market Music stage. Spawned
from a craigslist ad and an open mic
night at the Haufbrau, The Bird
Dogs have been playing their brand
of folk music since November of
2013. Their raw and stompy sound
is rooted in old traditional folk tunes,
but draws influences ranging from
Led Zeppelin to Gillian Welch.
Comprised of four members with an
array of personalities, The Bird
Dogs are sure to put on a high energy, foot-tappin’ show that will leave
you sweaty and smiling. Already creating a name for themselves in

The Interviews
Girlschool: “Expect to have your eardrums blasted!”
Veteran British rock band
Girlschool will be taking the stage
at Faultine North on Sunday, May
31st. The longest running female
heavy metal band in history, these
rockers have toured with the likes of
Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Alice
Cooper, and Iron Maiden. This
band has staying power, and they
are celebrating the release of their
latest studio album, Guilty As Sin,
with their first North American tour
in 20 years.
RollingZone’s Anna Sagatov
spoke with Enid Williams,
Girlschool’s lead vocalist and bassist.
RZ: Tell me about your new album,
Guilty As Sin. How is it different from
your previous work? What were you
going for with this new album?
EW: When we start working on an
album we don’t have any specific
plans or goal that we’re going for.
The three main writers throw ideas
into the ring or we present a song to
the others and no one really knows
what we’ve got till it’s finished. We
all write what excites us. The album
covers a lot of different influences
from classic rock through the ages
you’re especially
excited to visit? Any
friends you’re planning to see?
EW: We love nature
so we’re looking forward to seeing your
spectacular scenery
— and then the
complete contrast of
New York. And we
get especially excited
to visit health food
stores as the range
here is unbelievable!
RZ:Girlschool has
toured with some of
the greatest rock
bands of all time!
I’m sure you all have
great taste in music.
Are there any new
bands you’re really
into?
EW:We still love listening to the classic
bands and the Foo
Fighters are about
as new as we get!
RZ: How do you
with some classic Girlschool and a
few surprises!
RZ:Last time you worked with this
album’s producer, Chris
Tsangarides, was in 1983 on your
EP 1-2-3-4 Rock And Roll! How was
it to work with him again?
EW: Well the first time round it was
just a one-off and it’s been several
albums since we’ve worked with
anyone other than Tim Hamill. It’s
good sometimes to shake things up
a bit and it was certainly a completely different way of working!
RZ:This will be your first North
American tour in 20 years! What
made you decide to come out this
way?
EW: We had a tour booked a few
years back but the visas didn’t come
through in time. We get lots of
American fans asking us when we’re
coming over so we were determined
to make it happen and it’s great to
be here.
RZ: Have you ever been to
Montana before? What are your
impressions?
EW: Friendly people, great food!
RZ:Is there anywhere in the US
feel about [your opening act for this
tour] Crucified Barbara? Do you see
yourselves in them at all?
EW: We think Crucified Barbara are
great. Musically they’re more of the
Riot Girl generation so we’re quite
different but there’s a lot of respect.
And of course we’re both guitar
bands who make a lot of noise!
RZ: It’s pretty impressive that you
all have played together for so long.
How do you do it?
EW: I’m not sure how we do it but
maybe it’s a case of we don’t know
how not to do it. Like family, we’re
stuck together.
RZ: Tell me about your live
shows...what can we expect?
EW: We will play all the favorite
Girlschool songs and a couple from
the new album. Expect to have your
eardrums blasted!

Bozeman’s Panther Car releases new EP, Labyrinth
Bozeman progressive rock band
Panther Car just wrapped up their
regional tour to promote their new
EP, Labyrinth. This album is a cohesive collection of songs, showcasing
Panther Car’s edgy, experimental
sound. Dustin Tucker, Music Villa’s
Montana Music Life ambassador,
writes, “If you like creative rock with
thoughtful arrangements and searing
soundscapes, you MUST check out
[Labyrinth]! They also put on a great
live show!” Be sure to check out this
album for a taste of one of
Bozeman’s most creative rock bands.
RollingZone’s Anna Sagatov
spoke to Chris Kirkwood, the drummer of Panther Car.
RZ: So how did you guys get
started?
CK: Well I joined the band after it
started...they were a rock group in
town, and I would just have them
over sometimes to jam, and from
there we all built pretty solid musical
communication. I wasn’t even a
drummer at the time, I just liked
playing drums. Their drummer was
leaving, and so they said, “This kid,
we want to play with him”. I was
actually kind of reluctant...I didn’t
want to commit to the band at first
because I just loved jamming. I just
really liked getting together and
playing uncomfortably loud until
something fell together, you know?
So it’s definitely different than composed music. It’s kind of like a job.
Like in a band people rely on you
and you rely on other people...I wasn’t excited about it at first.
RZ: Was it difficult to learn drums
for this band not having been a
drummer previously?
CK: Not too hard, I mean there
were a couple things....they were
relying on me to keep them together
and I wasn’t used to that, I was used
to just listening to other people and
relying on them to keep the rhythm.
So keeping time was probably the
hardest thing, but I’d say it was easy
because I love to dance to music and
drumming is very similar to dancing...though drumming is more of a
relationship with the music than
dancing because you get to control
it, too. So as long as I’m dancing
behind the kit, I’m doing a
good job!
RZ: I saw that you guys have been
playing a lot of shows around
Montana lately, what are your live
shows like?
CK: So people hear our music on
the radio, and it’s usually our old
stuff which is a little bit lighter, and
then we get there...we play so loud
and have a great time...I feel like
you can really tell that we put a lot
of time into our songs. I think
sometimes people don’t even dance,
they just watch us...because we’re
more putting on a show than just
providing entertainment with music.
In other cities we usually meet people who want to have us over to
their houses...so it’s more than just
playing music for people. We’re
doing what we want, we don’t care
what the audience is doing or thinking. We’re just having fun.
RZ: Nice! So can you tell me a little
bit about how Labyrinth, this EP you
just released, is different from your
old work?
CK: Yeah, I think the biggest difference is that we had a moment in
time where we were like, “OK, let’s
settle down, take a break from playing shows and write until we have an
EP and then record it and go on
tour”. And it all kind of changed at
the end because I just graduated
from school and I’m going away for
the summer so touring had to be
between the gap of graduating and
changing. So I think this one’s a little
more consistent.
RZ: You’re going away for the summer? Does that mean that Panther
Car will be no more?
traveling, so we had a little bit of a
time crunch at the end. But we still
had the intention that we were
gonna make five songs, keep them
consistent, and record them. So
what happened was a cohesive body
between five songs, whereas our
older stuff was more of just a collection of songs we wrote as we were
touring, so our style was always
CK: No, definitely not! I’ll be back
in August, and our lead singer Scott
is going back to school so we’re definitely gonna stick around here, and I
have plans to build a tiny house this
winter. Bozeman winters are long, so
we have a good practice space.
Winter time is our time to crack
down and summer time is our time
to have fun.
RZ: I heard you guys don’t talk
about why your band is called
Panther Car...why not?!
CK: Well...it sounds like an arbitrary
name. And it’s like, “Panther Car”?
Why would you take two words and
push them together like that? It’s
actually a thing that one of us has
in our house, but we don’t tell anyone about it, and it’s our little secret
thing and secrets are nice to have.
RZ: (Laughter) So if I saw this “panther car” in this person’s house
would I be able to recognize it as a
panther car, or is it just completely
unrecognizable? What is it?...Well I
guess you can’t tell me…
CK: You’d have to search for it, and
you could probably figure it out
upon finding it…
RZ: (Laughter) Cool, well...
thank you…
CK: Yeah, I told you more than we
tell most people!
RZ: Hah! ...Is it alright if I
publish this?
CK: (Laughter) Yeah! I think it’s fine,
it’d actually be funny to have people
questioning us about it more, there’d
be more pressure from the community to keep it a bigger secret,
you know?
RZ: For sure. So is there anything
else you want to tell me about
the band?
CK: Just come up and talk to us, we
love talking to people and making
friends. Even if our music is heavy,
we’re still good people! •

A look at Headwaters Country Jam 2015
Headwaters Country Jam is
proud to announce four time
Grammy nominated country
music superstar Trace Adkins has
been added as the second headliner
for the 2015 Headwaters Country
Jam festival at The Bridge
near Three Forks, Montana! Adkins
joins previously announced artist,
Clint Black.
A country music traditionalist
from Texas, Clint Black was one of
the first artists to kick-start the
mass-market popularity of country
in the ‘90s. Black is also one of the
first artists of a generation that was
equally inspired by rock-oriented
pop—like ‘70s singer/songwriters
and ‘60s rock & roll—as well as
country artists like Merle Haggard,
Bob Wills, and George Jones. He
offered a shiny, marketable version
of traditional country and in the
process paved the way for a new
generation of country artists, particularly Garth Brooks. After Brooks
broke through into the pop mainstream, Black’s career began to fade
somewhat, but he remained one of
the most popular and acclaimed
vocalists of the ‘90s. Trace Adkins
helped keep country’s traditionalist
flame burning during the crossoverhappy late ‘90s, mixing classic
honky tonk with elements of gospel,
blues, and rock & roll.
Adkins was born in the small
Louisiana town
of Sarepta in
1962 and took up
the guitar at an
early age; he
went on to study
music at
Louisiana Tech,
where he also
played football
and worked on
an offshore oil rig
after graduating.
His finger was
severed in an
accident while on
the job, and once
several years had
passed, he
returned to music
with the gospel
quartet the New Commitments. In
the early ‘90s, he began to pursue a
solo career, playing honky tonk bars
and clubs as often as he could, and
honing a powerful, wide-ranging
baritone voice in the process. He
spent several years on the circuit
and finally moved to Nashville to
try his luck in the industry; he was
quickly signed to Capitol by Scott
Hendricks, who had produced the
likes of Brooks & Dunn, Faith Hill,
and Alan Jackson.
Headwaters Country Jam was
created to bring live country music
in a festival atmosphere to Montana
and the
northwest.
The festival
was conceived in late
2007, and
the first Jam
was held in
June 2008.
The festival
is held at the
venue known
as The
Bridge, near
Three Forks.
The Bridge is
comprised of
159 acres
and is the
final resting
ground for
the historic Sappington Bridge that
once spanned the Jefferson River.
Sixty acres are used for the statecertified campground, which holds
1,200 sites. Within the venue is a
12-acre arena where all the magic
happens. Live music from national

Tantalizing performers to play
Desert Rose
Tantalize your ears and taste buds at
Desert Rose Restaurant & Catering, located at
27 West Main in Belgrade between Rio
Sabinas and The American Legion. Here’s a
look at June’s music lineup:
Friday, June 5th and Saturday, June 6th,
catch Chelsey Trevino. Chelsey is inspired
by many different musical styles and artists,
though her favorite artist is Leon Russell. She
feels that her music is difficult to place under
a certain genre. She very much enjoys blues
and jazz music, and tries to implement it
Welch song about an Appalachian wildflower, “...known as the brave Acony Bell.”
Saturday, June 20th, Desert Rose welcomes Victoria Rose, Kalispell-based
singer/songwriter. Victoria Rose’s music is
crafted with poetic lyrics and creative
melodies that reach the heart. She is
inspired by Brandi Carlile, Brand New,
Missy Higgins, A Fine Frenzy, and Lykke Li,
to name a few.
Come taste some sweet sugar at the
Sugar Daddies show on Thursday, June
Grassy Mountain
whenever possible. Don’t miss this bluesy
babe’s performance!
On Tuesday, June 9th, Grassy
Mountain will be performing. Grassy
Mountain puts an emphasis on harmonies,
both vocal and mandolin. Tom Murphy sings
and moves between the guitar, octave mandolin, and mandolin to create a diverse and
fun set. Molly Grove plays mandolin and sings
lead and harmony. Grassy Mountain performs often as a duo. When appropriate, they
add other fine players on the bass, banjo, fiddle, etc.
Friday, June 12th, join Kalyn Beasley for
an evening of Americana and cowboy songs.
For the last four years he was lead singer and
bass player for the Bozeman-based country
band, “Bad Intentions”. They played hundreds of shows all over Montana and
Wyoming, opened up for acts like Jack
Ingram, David Allan Coe, Randy Rogers
Band and Bart Crow, recorded an EP in
Nashville, and played some legendary venues
in Austin. Now Kalyn’s taking a more personal direction in his music. He’s out on his
own, playing songs he’s written over the
years, covering some Americana favorites
including a few old cowboy tunes that connect him to his roots. His acoustic sets showcase his unique, sometimes gritty voice, and
his strong, story-based songwriting. 2015 will
bring him to venues all over Wyoming and
Montana, he will be recording music, writing
songs, and having some fun outdoors.
On Tuesday, June 16th, come hear the
harmonies of the lovely ladies of Acony
Belles. Acony Belles is an acoustic band of
dynamic women featuring Jody Engstrom on
bass, Betsy Wise on guitar, and Molly Grove
on mandolin. Dazzling female vocal harmonies take center stage in their arrangements of bluegrass, folk, and soulful
Americana tunes. Acony Belles is inspired by
great female artists including Red Molly,
Wailin’ Jennies, Della Mae, and Gillian. In
fact, the band name stems from a Gillian
25th. Since its inception, the band has been
successfully performing in various venues
throughout southwestern Montana. The
main attribute for this success lies in the
band’s ability to be as versatile as it possibly
can, thus enabling it to adjust the set list at
any given time to adapt to any particular
venue. While the gist of their material is
popular rock and roll, country, oldies, R&B
and blues, they also have an extensive arsenal of original songs, all of which are palatable, as well as an array of lesser-known but
still great songs by both obscure and wellknown artists/songwriters. Their main focus
is variety, and they half-jokingly have a
motto of “no request left behind.”
On Friday, June 26th, join Don Elliot
for his performance of historical and patriotic songs.

MSU releases 2015 volleyball schedule
“We are happy and excited with
our preseason schedule,” Riley said.
“We have some strong competition
that will test us as we get closer to
the start of the season, but we are
not jamming in matches for the
sake of playing, as it can beat a
team down.”
First-year Montana State head
volleyball coach JJ Riley will take
his inaugural squad to preseason
tournaments in Texas, Nevada and
Colorado, before opening up an
arduous Big Sky Conference slate
in Shroyer Gym, September 24th,
Riley announced on Monday afternoon.
“We are happy and excited with
our preseason schedule,” Riley said.
“We have some strong competition
that will test us as we get closer to
the start of the season, but we are
not jamming in matches for the
sake of playing, as it can beat a
team down.”
The Bobcats will open its season
at the Sam Houston State
Tournament on August 28th and
29th. The tournament will feature
matches against the Bearkats, as well

Division I Coaches Poll.
“We have set up a good balance
of competing and getting the team
some rest so we can be ready for the
start of conference play,” Riley said
“Preseason is always a grind as the
athletes are coming off double days,
getting into the groove of school,
and competing at the same time. We
feel that this schedule will provide
the athletes with the best chance to
make this adjustment smoothly and
will help them stay on top of their
academics, while competing at a
high level.”
MSU opens its Big Sky slate welcoming Idaho State on September
24th in Shroyer Gym. The Bobcats
will host Montana in the Brawl of
the Wild match on September 26th

Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and
Northern Colorado. Outside the

Big Sky receives accolades
from MTB Parks
Big Sky Resort is named in the
top five for the 2014 Best Bike Parks
Riders’ Choice
Awards survey from
MTBparks.com
(Mountain Trail
Bike Parks) in the
Northwest Region.
The rider-voted
awards crown the
top lift-served
mountain-bike
parks in eight separate regions across
North America:
Western Canada,
Eastern Canada,
Northeast, MidAtlantic/Southeast, Midwest,
Southwest, Northwest and the
Rocky Mountains. More than 3,000
riders participated in the online survey and provided ratings in more
than 20 categories covering a variety
of aspects from “Best Base Area
Amenities” to “Best Technical
Trails,” to the all-encompassing,
“Riders’ Choice Awards.”
Big Sky Resort was up against 15
other lift-served mountain bike
resorts. Last summer a new
machine-built beginner downhill
trail, Easy Rider, provided subtle
rollers and gentle berms at a really
low angle. A new two mile, single
track flow trail in the woods, Otter
Way, connected the Mountain
Village to the Moonlight area terrain and advanced downhill trail,
Soul Hole, was completed toward
the end of the season. Improved
bike transportation was installed last
summer on Swift Current chair lift
with more efficient and safe bike
carrier trays to hold up to three
downhill mountain bikes for access
to 14 downhill trails. Sturdy bike
carriers were installed on the
Explorer chair lift for the new beginner trail.
“I think Big Sky is an amazing
hidden gem for mountain biking,”
said Michelle Good, MTBparks.com
founder. “Perhaps the fact that [Big
Sky Resort] is pushing hard to put
Big Sky on the map with more trails
and more variety is what fired up
riders to give [them] their vote.”
Big Sky Resort drastically
reduced the 2015 Mountain Bike
Summer Season Pass by over 65%
off the regular price when purchased as an add-on with any winter
2015-2016 season pass by April 30,
2015. Two weekly Youth Local’s
Downhill Biking Programs will be
offered this summer one day a week
for four weeks. Recommended for
ages eight years old and up, the first
program will begin on June 29, 2015
and the second program will start
August 3, 2015. Rider will need
their own bike and gear or rent.

TRG to create more than 50 Bozeman jobs
TRG, Trade Risk Guaranty, the
industry leader in the consumerdirect U.S. Customs Bond and
Marine Cargo Insurance markets, is
excited to announce a business
development plan designed to
increase its local workforce by over
50 employees to meet growing client
demands for cost effective international trade insurance products.
“The insurance products sold by
TRG from its downtown Bozeman
office are used by over 10,000 companies all across the globe,” said
National Sales Manager, Tyler
Zaichkin. “With the additional staff
we plan to double our client base in
the next 2 years.”
The average annual wage for
these positions will be $31,509,
compared to the average per capita
wage in Gallatin County of
$28,939. Wages will vary by positions which include sales, customer
service, and administration.
“We recognized an opportunity
to significantly impact the quality of
our life when my wife and I decided
to move our young family to
Montana,” explained President and
Founder, John Michel. “After experiencing the Montana Esprit de
Corps for a few years, I further realized that our business would benefit
from the same vitality and vigor
that Bozeman offers, particularly in
the capacity to create a win-win-win
for leading MSU grads, TRG and
the Bozeman job market.”
Recent press exposure from
MSU and local stations KBZK and
ABC/FOX Montana, has demonstrated the remarkable character of
TRG. Although their clients span
the globe, the company is very connected to the area’s local scene.
Recently, TRG joined the Montana
Commuter Challenge, a friendly
state-wide competition between
Montana businesses to see who can
bike, walk, or ride public transit to
work the most during the month of
May. Additionally, it’s a sponsor for
the 1st Annual Harbor’s Hero Run,
a 5K and Kids Color Run benefiting Eagle Mount.
Established in 1991, TRG is an
innovative surety agency selling U.S.
Customs Bonds and Cargo
Insurance direct to importers and
exporters. Its unprecedented methods and focus on education and
peak client experience have
changed the way that thousands
of companies around the world
do business. TRG’s client
portfolio includes global
enterprises such as Stanley Black
& Decker, 1-800-Flowers, Sears,
Bosh, and Kawasaki. More

Early career award goes to MSU scientist
By Evelyn Boswell, MSU News Service
A Montana State University faculty member who investigates new
materials for solar cells has received
an early career award from the U.S.
Department of Energy.
“It was a real surprise. It’s one of
those things you don’t really expect
to happen in your first year,” Erik
Grumstrup said of the five-year,
$750,000 grant.
Grumstrup came to MSU last
summer to join the new Materials
Science Graduate Program, a
Montana University System collaboration involving MSU, Montana
Tech and the University of
Montana. The first person hired for
the program, he is also an assistant
professor in MSU’s Department of
Chemistry and Biochemistry in the
College of Letters and Science.
“These are very, very competitive
awards,” said Rob Walker, chemistry
professor and director of the
Materials Science Graduate
Program. “From a program,
department, college and university
standpoint, Erik’s award is an
accomplishment that we can all
look to with pride.”
He added that, “Erik is also
an outstanding colleague. He is
smart. He cares about all the
right things. He is a very good
fit for Montana State. He has the
right balance between his
research focus, innovation and
mentoring. He is already an outstanding adviser for the graduate
students who have joined his
research program.”
Grumstrup said the grant will
allow him and his students to study
“disordered semiconductors,” with
the goal of understanding materials
that may reduce the cost of solar
cells and make them more efficient.
Explaining disordered semiconductors, he said electrons move through
current solar cell materials like cars
on an interstate—with well-defined
speeds and few interruptions.
However, electrons moving through
disordered semiconductors are like
cars traveling through neighborhoods. Speeds vary, and “stop signs”
cause frequent interruptions.
“We are really interested in the
nature of those stop signs,”
Grumstrup said. “What slows down
electrons? How does the added complexity of all the different structures
change the underlying physics?
Working with Grumstrup on the
project titled, “Photoconversion in
Disordered Semiconductors: Spatial,
Spectral and Temporal Insights
through Nonlinear Microscopy” will
be three graduate students and two
undergraduates. Andy Hill, a doctoral student in materials science, and
Eric Massaro, a doctoral student in
chemistry, already work in
Grumstrup’s laboratory.
“It’s nice to have a group established already and that seem excited
about what we are doing,”
Grumstrup said. “Hopefully, we can
move pretty quickly and make some
progress right away.”
With the new grant awarded in
his first year at MSU, the word
“ultrafast” regularly appearing up in
the papers he has published, and his
South Dakota reputation as a standout runner, speed seems to be a
theme in Grumstrup’s life. By the
time he graduated from Stevens
High School in Rapid City, he had
been South Dakota’s high school
cross country runner of the year
three times. Fourteen years after
graduating from high school, he
still holds the state record in the
two-mile.
Now—saying chemistry is
more important to him than running—Grumstrup said he appreciates the support he has felt from his
MSU colleagues, and he is happy
about the opportunities the new
grant will provide.
“The wonderful thing about
getting a grant is that you can
actually do the work that you are
so excited about doing,”
Grumstrup said.
Grumstrup was born in
Bozeman and moved away when
he was about five years old.
Noting that his return is a dream
come true, Grumstrup earned his
bachelor’s degree in 2006 from
the University of Minnesota Twin
Cities. He earned his Ph.D.
in 2011 at the University of
Colorado Boulder. •
