CLIENT TESTIMONIAL “I have worked with 4 different realtors and Taunya by far was the best agent I have worked with. In the beginning she took the time to understand what we were looking for in a house and followed up with sending us great listings. We are coming from out of state, so she was our eyes and ears on the ground. She spent time going and seeing all the houses we were looking at and gave us a fair judgement of the house with videos and commentary that made us feel comfortable to buy a house out of state. She always talked us through offer strategies and did a great market study of the area. Once we found the house we were looking for she helped us make it reality. It only took us two offers to find the right property. She helped negotiate closing cost credits and furniture to be left in house. Not only would I rate her a 10/10 as a realtor, but she’s also an amazing person. Go with her, you will not be disappointed.” Ryan T. - BOUGHT with Taunya!

It is said that “change is inevitable,” and that seems to prove true. Bozeman (and Montana as a whole) has seen a lot of change since I graduated from Glasgow High School in 1991. Some small towns have struggled economically, and many locals have had to leave to make a living. Other towns have had an influx of new residents - some coming for the beautiful landscapes and recreation, and others coming for the thriving economy that results from the growth. With growth comes getting noticed by large corporate businesses that come into town with brand-new buildings, seemingly overnight. The small, longstanding, local businesses begin to feel “squeezed” by the power of corporate buying power, and some of them have to close their doors. Some local businesses hold on with sheer grit and determination and some by holding onto the values they built their business on to begin with long ago. Customer service, community involvement, all of these small-town-culture practices become integral to staying afloat. They also depend on some local loyalty. Joe’s Parkway Market is a great example of all of those things. During our photo shoot for the Editorial this month, we got to see a constant flow of locals, each receiving the same warm reception we got on our arrival. Every question was met with complete engagement, and customers were walked to the section they were looking for and helped to understand the tremendous variety of specialty, as well as standard, fare. The environment was warm, welcoming and inviting. We also did our first feature on Eagle Mount this month. They are celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2023. There is so much to share about this wonderful organization, we will be doing another feature this summer when we can get a broader view of the extended elements of their seasonal programs. We also want to encourage our readers to contribute to Eagle Mount in any ways that are comfortable. Support local and help Montana stay “The Last Best Place.”

BIG SKY NATURAL HEALTH PROMOTES WELLNESS PERSONALIZED LOCAL SERVICE AT ITS BEST

ARTICLE BY CAMILLE BISSELL PHOTOGRAPHY BY 406 PHOTO

Big Sky Natural health has some new things going on, according to owner Dr. Kaley Burns. The clinic, located at 87 Lone Peak Drive in Big Sky, is currently the only place where clients can receive NAD+ IV therapy. NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It promotes cellular regeneration and has been proven to repair DNA, protect brain cells, reduce inflammation, and helps to fend off neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease. “It can even help with Chronic Fatigue,” Dr. Burns said. “People use it for anti-aging as well as a variety of different nerve conditions.”

NAD contains a mixture of B-vitamins, including niacin, and these can be difficult to absorb orally, which is why IV therapy works so well. Dr. Burns explained the concoction is specifically mixed up the day the client arrives as it must be used quickly and cannot be stored. “The infusion process takes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours,” she said. “Years ago, this was just used to help with addiction recovery, but now the primary use is for brain function.” Another service Dr. Burns likes to focus on is Regenerative Injection therapy (RIT), which is known for stimulating the healing process. “It’s good for your joints, cartilage, ligaments, muscles, and tendons because it uses your own cellular matrix to heal the affected areas.” Anti-inflammatory meds that most people use can treat pain, but can often suppress the healing process. RIT uses a mixture of a person’s own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate the body’s natural ability to heal. The most common uses are ACL injuries, rotator cuff injuries, golfer’s elbow, Achilles’ tendonitis, sports injuries, and tennis elbow. CONTINUED >

Yet another speciality of Big Sky Natural Health is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). While many people associate a hyperbaric chamber with assisting scuba divers who have risen to the surface too quickly while diving, it actually has great benefits when it comes to wound healing. HBOT involves breathing in oxygen at a high pressure to help overcome infections. When more oxygen is delivered to areas of the body in higher concentrations, it allows the blood to carry oxygen more effectively to those areas that need healing. “It stimulates new tissue growth for a quicker natural recovery by creating new blood vessels, increasing the regenerative process, and removing toxins,” Dr. Burns said. “Most clients lay in the chamber anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes.”

Joe's Parkway Market BELOVED BOZEMAN MOM & POP SHOP

A butcher, a cheesemonger, a sommelier. International candies. Local breads and seasonal vegetables. Kegs for your party. Basics, like paper towels, batteries, and cat food, when you’re in a pinch. The shopkeeper who knows your name, and your parents’ names, and maybe even their parents’ names. Before the other gourmet grocers in Bozeman we know today, there was and remains Joe’s Parkway Market. Originally called Parkway Market, when College Street was a main road (or “parkway”) to access Yellowstone Park, Joe and Sally Wantulok purchased the store in 1969. Joe brought grocery business experience with him, having worked for many years at Safeway, and the store was renamed Joe’s Parkway Market. The store remains in the family, now owned and operated by Joe’s grandson Tyler Wantulok and his wife, Tara. To MSU students and staff, Joe’s is where you grab lunch or ingredients on your way home to make dinner. To neighbors, it’s the place to go when you’re in that pinch. To newcomers to the

Gallatin Valley, it may not even be a known destination, located on the edge of campus at 903 W. College. But to locals, it’s a hidden treasure – a special place to shop for staples as well as gourmet items, with a momand-pop vibe that is increasingly hard to come by. Upon entering the brick building, shoppers are greeted by friendly staff and crafty seasonal displays (and the occasional MSU Bobcat-centric display). There’s a produce section, meats and cheeses, dry goods, breads, a frozen section, local Hutterite pickled jars of wonder, a fabulous wall of bulk candy, a tiny toiletries section, and of course, the exceptional wine and beer selection. One can get lost in browsing the hand-made cards, imported spices and sauces, local coffees and teas, extensive European chocolates, even Griottines. “I love to support local, small, customer-recommended products, along with the everyday items,” explained Tara. “I order from over 200 different companies. We have a unique demographic…we’re a college store, a neighborhood store, and a destination spot.” Over the years, Joe’s has grown and filled many niches – it had a full-service meat department, which provided products to Burger Bobs, Taco Johns, Spectators Bar & Grill, and Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, and Joe’s used to process wild game. For a couple years running, in the late 1980s, Joe’s was published in Playboy magazine for selling the most beer (packaged and keg) per capita west of the Mississippi. In addition to basic and gourmet groceries, Joe’s also offers meat and cheese trays, custom gift baskets, grab-and-go sandwiches and salads, and a small newsstand. Loyal customers make a point to shop at Joe’s to support a locally owned and operated business, to avoid the big box or chain grocery store options, or because you just can’t find that Swiss nougat anywhere else in town. “It’s because of the amazing community and dedicated customers that we’ve been able to be here for over 50 years,” said Tara. “We have evolved from a convenient grocery store into a specialty market with unique finds, but also with the essentials.” CONTINUED >

EAGLE MOUNT

ARTICLE BY JOSH HOLLE | PHOTOGRAPHY BY 406 PHOTO

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF BRINGING JOY TO THE BOZEMAN COMMUNITY

G IV IN G BAC K | LOCA L SERVI CE S

January marks the celebration of the 40th anniversary of Eagle Mount. Robert and Greta Mathis originally started up a small ski program in 1982 for participants with cognitive and physical disabilities across the spectrum. Their original vision to help participants “mount up with wings as eagles” through recreational activities in our beloved Bozeman landscape has grown and evolved to include more programs, events, and accommodations while the core ethos has remained the same throughout Eagle Mount’s history. While the facilities and programs have grown, the biggest strength of Eagle Mount is the staff and volunteers, many of whom come back year after year, including some who have been there since the doors opened at Eagle Mount. For those looking to volunteer, Eagle Mount is a welcome home. If you ask any of the Eagle Mount staff or volunteers what the most important part of their work is, you will get the same answer across the board: “Joy.” Every person involved has been able to see the incredible impact they have made on

the participants, their families, and the community as a whole. The motivation to stay for the influence they have is universal. Getting his start as a ski instructor at Red Lodge 15 years ago, Executive Director Kevin Sylvester took charge of Eagle Mount, alongside Program Director Trevor Olson, Director of Development Kirk Utzinger, Director of Finance Pearl Nixon, and Grants Administrator Anna Smoot, to maintain fundraising and find new opportunities for the property looked after by Facilities Manager Sven Wigert. The powerhouse staff behind the scenes includes the Marketing and Communications Manager Brittany Yeley, Sponsorship and Events Manager Aidan Young, and Development Coordinator Emma Ferrie. Administrative Assistant Andrew Flakker was a former participant of Eagle Mount who got started in the ski programs as a child with Cerebral Palsy. He found his way back to Eagle Mount to become a vital part of the inner-workings, holding down the administrative side of Eagle Mount and keeping the phones and front desk manned with the framed photo of him as a participant on display. Each program offers participants the ability to gain confidence, new skills, and a community. The Adaptive Horsemanship program allows for both indoor and outdoor riding experiences and teaches companionship between the participants and majestic animals. The opportunity to interact with an animal that gives feedback is very fulfilling for everyone involved. For Adaptive Horsemanship Director Claire Brunner, it truly is a dream job full of challenges to overcome on a daily basis, but every day is full of rewards. Claire originally came for the horses, but stayed for the passion of helping others. Participants have been able to gain more

independence in just a few weeks. More than 20 horses are looked after by Claire Brunner, Nikki Lorton, Joanna Rodgers-Liston, and Dawn Zurlo-Havey who all work together to bring therapeutic riding to participants of all ages. They all came in as volunteers, but couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. The Tim and Mary Barnard Aquatics Center is home to the great swimming programs and activities that Eagle Mount has to offer. The pool is set up to accommodate exercise for all abilities and ages. The Young at Heart (YAH) classes give those over the age of 50 a chance to work on strength, endurance, and improve overall health under the guidance of Pat Whitlock. Pat met founders Greta and Robert Mathis at a water aerobics class at Romney Pool while working at MSU, building the foundations of a lifelong friendship. Before the Tim and Mary Barnard Aquatics Center was born, the aquatics program found a home in pools all across Bozeman. As the program grew, Pat was brought in to be the Aquatics Program Director. After 30 years, Pat has passed the Adaptive Aquatics Director torch to Ryan Maruyama and Assistant Director Erika Driver while still maintaining five classes a week for the Young at Heart program. The Young Adult Water Exercise classes not only focus on physical fitness, but social communication through the instructor. The Aquatics Center also offers CONTINUED > FEB R UARY 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM / BOZ E M A N

both independent and family swim times for those looking to move at their own pace without an instructor under safe supervision by a lifeguard. The Cancer Support Community offers classes two days a week. The wheelchair-accessible gym has been built up and instructed by Liz Ann Kudrna after her injury inspired her to bring the gym to life for those with mobility and disability issues. The Adaptive Arts and Horticulture program is for those who are looking for a creative outlet. The programs run by Director Maggie Lowry and Assistant Director Jess Lee range from dance, art, music, and gardening throughout the year. Participants and their families are welcome to join in and make friends and connections while learning the arts in a safe environment. The music program is the newest addition coming this Summer. Aspiring artist participants get the potential to learn from guest artists in all kinds of crafts. Bozeman is full of beautiful greenery and vegetation. The Horticulture program gives the participants the knowledge and skills to be more connected to that nature through the Greenhouse on the Eagle Mount grounds. Recreation comes in all shapes and sizes. Eagle Mount is the place for people of all abilities to come together and discover friendships and talents through everything that Bozeman has to offer. The summer offers rock climbing, cycling,

and adventures around Bozeman and Big Sky like kayaking and camping. During the Winter, participants can get out and go ice skating or hit the local ski slopes at Bridger Bowl and Big Sky, just like when Robert and Greta Mathis started Eagle Mount. The Adaptive Recreation Director, Patrick Quinn, is the “Chief Enthusiasm Officer” with his great love for the outdoors and willingness to bring educational and empowering activities to all the participants alongside Assistant Recreation Directors Colleen Smith and Beth Wilson. The Adaptive Recreation Coordinator, Luke Gladis, like the rest of the team, fell in love with nature and has a passion for storytelling and compelling others to connect with the community and nature around them. The Adaptive Recreation programs are an essential gateway for the disabled community and their families to connect with all of Bozeman. Big Sky Kids offers Oncology camps for youth and their families going through cancer. The camps run by Big Sky Kids Director Lauren

Grover center around the great activities found throughout the state and local community. The families and participants can unwind and enjoy outdoor recreation like whitewater rafting. Going through cancer and caring for loved ones can be tough, but the camps are a great way to get connected with others going through a similar journey and make memories that last a lifetime. The best thing is showing the families they aren’t alone. Robert and Greta Mathis have since passed, but the staff at Eagle Mount continue to humbly honor their great impact to the local community with passion for the mission. The 40th Anniversary presents a new year full of programs, both old and new, that would make the founders proud. The staff and volunteers are truly an inspiration, giving wings to participants and their families. Bozeman is lucky to be called home to this incredible organization. There is no better way to bring joy to the disabled community and those going through cancer than to get involved with Eagle Mount.

ELEVATE YOUR CLOSET 8 WAYS TO O R G A N I Z E A N D

Every woman dreams of an organized and beautiful closet space, but it often comes last on the list of places that get their time and attention. Follow our eight tips for transforming and elevating your closet as you Spring clean and declutter for a more peaceful, inspired space you absolutely love. A sneak peek inside the closet of active mom and entrepreneur Keri Tarantino of Leawood, KS reveals a dressing room that rivals celebrity homes in Beverly Hills. But it didn’t come easily. Keri painstakingly planned, designed and curated the space with care. When we first stepped inside, we gasped as our eyes beheld the glory. No detail went unnoticed in this dreamy dressing room. Here are some guiding principles that can be drawn from her exquisite taste and vision. How you organize your closet will of course differ based on the size of your space, the size of your wardrobe, and the kind of life you lead. But applying the guidelines Keri used in her space will result in a much more organized and aesthetically pleasing space.

USE R EAL ESTATE W ISELY Reserve the front and middle of the closet for clothes worn most often. For someone who gets dressed for work each morning at 6 a.m., work clothes should be at the front of the closet. Store lesser-worn items like formal wear and out-of-season clothes toward the back and on the upper shelves. The large mirror and counter with chair provides the perfect spot to select jewelry and finalize finishing outfit touches. While every closet is different, the key here is everything has a home.

INJECT ST YLE INTO YOUR SPACE

ORGA NIZE BY K IND A ND COLOR

Group clothes by kind first and color second. This ensures quick location of that favorite shirt when it’s needed. Bonus - it’s easy on the eye. Group like with like: Gather belts, sweaters, long-sleeve shirts, work pants, dresses, button-down shirts, jeans, shorts, etc., and decide the best place to store each item as a group (e.g., hang pants in the closet, fold and stack sweaters in a bureau). Working with groupings will help you figure out how much space you need and the best way to store each type of item.

03 04 NEGATIVE SPACE

Using space efficiently is important, but keep in mind every good design includes some negative space. For instance, consider adding built-ins on the long wall of your closet but keep the short wall open with a mirror.

FACE CLOTHES THE SA ME DIR ECTION

It may seem silly, but when dealing with a small space, little things count. Hanging all clothes the same direction is a no-brainer for continuity in your closet.

BAG & SHOE STOR AGE Alternate the way shoes are facing. This ultimately helps fit more on each row and provide a visually appealing way to display those prized possessions. Everyone understands the frustration of searching for that one clutch when rushing out for the evening. Bags benefit from a space all their own. Get clear container storage for small bags and purses so you can locate and access them easily. CONTINUED > FEB R UARY 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM / BOZ E M A N

UPGR ADED HA NGERS The simplest and fastest way to make a BIG difference in your closet organization is to get matching hangers that go beyond the traditional plastic or wire hangers. And for sure ditch any with paper from the dry cleaner! Here’s a few of our favorite elevated hangers:

07 08 LIGHTING

Lighting is everything in a closet. Gone are the days of dim recessed lighting being sufficient. Consider adding a statement lighting fixture like a chandelier or pendant that provides ample bright lighting to your space, no matter how big or small.

M AK E A STATEMENT

Why use an armchair when you have room for a sofa? Slide up a stool and colorful area rug to complete the look. If you have excessive wall space, consider a mini gallery wall or a statement wall with wallpaper to polish things off.
