April 14, 2021 Local Announcements

April is the month of awesome arts in Gardiner! The Electric Peak Arts Council is pleased to announce several art happenings in Gardiner over the next few weeks. Artist Jo LaPorte’s breathtaking mural, titled More Valuable than Gold, is hanging in the courtyard of Wonderland Cafe. In her capacity as director of the Art Mobile of Montana, Jo worked with all grade levels to create art at the Gardiner School. Missoula Children’s Theater is currently at the Gardiner School for a week-long residency where students will rehearse and perform the musical The Emperor’s New Clothes. Finally, the inspiring artistic creations of our fellow community members will be exhibited in locations around Gardiner through the end of April. Visual art is displayed at Wonderland Cafe & Lodge, Tumbleweed Bookstore and Cafe, and the Gardiner Chamber of Commerce. Visual, performance, and literary art will be displayed on our website https://electricpeakarts.org and Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/electricpeakarts. Stay tuned for a walking map of the artwork, dates for performances, and artist highlights through the month of April.

Electric Peak Arts Council would like to thank the Super 8 for sponsoring lodging for the Missoula Children’s Theater Tour Directors this week; to the Gardiner Resort Area District for program funding. We are so grateful to you for helping making this theater opportunity available for our community youth!

Fun Facts About April https://www.thefactsite.com/april-facts/ On April 15, 1912, the famous Titanic ship hit an iceberg and sunk on her first and only voyage.

April is a great month for meteor showers. One of which is the Lyrids meteor shower, which appears from April 16th to April 26th each year. There’s another one called the Eta Aquariids meteor shower that can be seen onwards from April 21st.

No one is sure how the month ended up with its name, but we do know the Romans named it “Aprillis.”

There are quite a few notable historical people born in April, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Shakespeare, and Queen Elizabeth II.

In the Southern Hemisphere, April is the seasonal equivalent to October.

5 Woman injured in Virginia City moose encounter VIRGINIA CITY – A woman was injured Friday evening in a surprise close encounter with a moose in Virginia City. The 66-year-old woman was walking her dogs along Cover Street when a cow moose charged at her from a patch of willow trees nearby. The woman suffered a fractured wrist during the encounter. A game warden with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks assessed the area and spoke with the woman, who said the cow moose was accompanied by a yearling calf. FWP staff will monitor moose activity in this area, but no further management action is planned at this time. Moose are common in southwest Montana and can be defensive and dangerous in surprise close encounters with people. This is especially true of cow moose with calves. Keep these precautions in mind to avoid negative encounters with moose: • Be aware of your surroundings and be especially careful around creeks and in areas with dense brush. • Travel in groups whenever possible and make casual noise to alert animals to your presence. • If you encounter a moose, give it lots of space and don’t approach it. Always keep dogs under control. • If a moose charges or chases you, take cover behind something solid, such as a tree. • In some situations, bear spray has been known to be an effective defense tool in moose encounters.

WEST GLACIER, Mont. The National Park Service finalized its Going-to-the-Sun Road Corridor Management Plan to manage and support visitor use along the Going-to-the-Sun Road within Glacier National Park.

The plan identifies a range of management actions throughout the corridor and at specific locations to manage congestion. Potential actions include expanding the existing shuttle system by creating new stops with additional buses, adding a hiking trail and a bike trail, and managed entry for the Highline Trail. Many of these potential actions are focused at popular locations such as Logan Pass, Avalanche, and key trailhead areas.

“The range of potential actions represents tools in a toolbox that the park can implement when certain triggers are met” said Superintendent Jeff Mow, “There is no intention that the park would implement all the proposed actions at once or even implement them all over time. The rapid nature of change in visitor use patterns, visitor demographics, technology, and conditions in the park calls for a much more adaptive and flexible set of management actions.”

Planning began in 2013 prompted by unprecedented visitor use within the corridor and included public and stakeholder outreach. In 2019, the NPS solicited formal public comments on the draft plan and associated environmental assessment. A summary of comments and responses is attached to the finding of no significant impact for the plan.

With the plan now final, NPS will examine when and where to use these tools and take action. Some actions require minimal preparation such as adding bike racks or restriping existing pullouts while others will require additional time and planning such as adding parking and additional shuttle stops. Similarly, many of the actions are meant to be adaptive, and will be evaluated regularly.

Visitation at Glacier National Park grew 40 percent between 2015 and 2017. In July 2017, visitation hit more than 1 million in a single month. Total visitation that year was 3.3 million, the highest on record. In 2019, NPS recorded the second highest year for visitation with just over 3 million visitors.
