Kinikin Brings It All To The Table

By Caitlin Switzer MONTROSE-If you have time on your hands in 2016, consider becoming a volunteer with the Mu-seum of the Mountain West. Though a dedicated team of eight to ten regular volunteers continue to work at the non-profit Museum, more help is al-ways welcome and appreciated, Museum Director Rich Fike said. “We have doubled our attendance,” Fike said. “That has a lot to do with Trip Advisor, AAA and things like that. So we can use carpenters, tour guides, and right now we need cash donations to fix floors, rafters and roofs.” With an impressive 144 reviews

VOLUNTEERS, DONATIONS NEEDED AT MUSEUM OF THE MOUNTAIN WEST Popular Attraction Tops Trip Advisor List Things to Do in Montrose

By Liesl Greathouse MONTROSE-For the best place to eat lunch while picking up something for dinner too, Kinikin Pro-cessing, LLC in Montrose provides that and more to its customers. Originally, Kinikin Processing just offered custom processing of beef, pork, lamb and wild game. But in July of this year they made the move to their new location in Montrose and have expanded their offer-ings. “We now not only provide the custom pro-cessing but we also sell individual valley raised cuts of meat, cured and smoked meats along with deli sandwiches and jerkies,” said Jennifer Prock, Kinikin co-owner with husband Zach Prock. “Our fresh meat counter and sandwich shop are unlike anything else in the community. You can walk-in and purchase a sandwich, a single steak or half a pig. We pride ourselves in our Continued on pg 5

Special to Art & Sol Photos by Nathan Bilow CRESTED BUTTE—Crested Butte Mountain and Iron Orchid Events set a world record Saturday at the third annual Santa Ski Day event, with 827skiers and snowboarders in Santa Suits. This beats the previous world record of 765 Santas. “It was an amazing day filled with Santas, smiles and

good times everywhere,” said Shaun Matusewicz of Iron Orchid Events, “We woke up in the morn-ing to fresh snow on the mountain

and great skiing conditions; we really couldn’t have asked for more.” The event began at 8 am when partici-pants were able to purchase discounted lift tickets for $23, $85 off the normal tick-eted price of $108. To qualify all Santa Ski participants were required to wear a Santa hat, jacket, pants and beard. Many partici-pants got creative with their costumes and

the day included a Darth Vader Santa, a dreadlocked Santa, and a many elves. “There was even a Where’s Waldo Santa, I am sure he will be a lot of fun to pick out of pictures. My favorite though, was see-ing all the families dressed up and skiing together. There is nothing like good old-fashion family fun with a Colorado twist,” said Matusewicz. The event is free to par-ticipate in, people just need a Santa Suit and a bit of holiday spirit. The 2016 event is scheduled for the second weekend in December.

Special to Art & Sol OURAY-In 1961, social psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted the "obedience ex-periments" at Yale University. The experiments observed the responses of ordinary people asked to send harmful electrical shocks to a stranger. Despite pleadings from the person they were shocking, 65 percent of subjects obeyed commands from a lab-coated authority figure to deliver potentially fatal currents.

our valley raised selections and putting great meat on your plate every night.” Their venture in moving to a new loca-tion in town has proven to be a great choice. “*Since opening+ we have been very busy adapting to 'city' life along with serving all of our loyal hunting custom-ers,” she said. “We have received great feedback on the convenience of the new location, the selections in the fresh meat counter and the availability of our deli sandwiches. We look forward to contin-uing to grow the business and finding the best ways to provide our customers with top notch valley raised meats.” The new location and interesting look of the storefront inspire a lot of comments from customers. “*They comment on how+ our lobby has a rustic lodge feel that is reminiscent of walking into a Cabela’s or Bass Pro Shop, but with meat!” Jennifer said. “We have a full viewing window, where customers can actually watch how animals are pro-cessed. We want everyone to see how clean and sanitized the process is so that they know we are doing everything in our power to give them an awesome product.” For the Christmas season, customers can enjoy a variety of new products and gifts for the meat-lovers in the family. After offering smoking turkeys and hams for Thanksgiving, they will now be ex-panding the offering to prime ribs along with smoked mesquite peppered beef tenderloin. “Both selections are mouth-watering good,” Jennifer explained. “Additionally, we do have a number of unique gift recommendations from small packages of jerky to a whole beef.”

Out of all the great products they offer, so far there are a couple that are vying for most popular. “Our Valley Raised Rib-Eyes are hard to beat,” she said. “Each steak has been raised by a local pro-ducer, fresh and never frozen and cut just a little thicker. A close

second are our Bacon Burgers. We take valley raised ground burger and grind in bacon creating a mouthwatering burger.” On the sandwich end, their Jalapeno Popper Panini is a top recommendation. They take a hoagie bun and spread cream cheese along both sides, and top with cheddar cheese, bacon and jala-penos. It is then toasted up to the per-fect temperature. Having such a unique storefront in Montrose has brought its own challenges when it comes to getting the word out that Kinikin has a lot more to offer customers beyond being a processing plant. So looking ahead to the New Year, Kinikin has a couple key plans in place to grow their business and get the word out, starting off with helping customers celebrate the New Year in style. “We are in the midst of putting together a steak and seafood bundle for our customers to ring in the New Year,” Jennifer said. “Additionally, we have begun to plan how to expand our reach in the community. We will be hosting the Montrose Chamber of Commerce’s Business After Hours in Febru-ary and potentially teaming up with a local chuck wagon for an early spring cookout.” With so many parts that go into running a successful busi-ness, the Procks are most grateful for their amazing

team. “We opened our original pro-cessing shop on the top of Kinikin Hill over twelve years ago and discovered immediately that good employees make everything worthwhile,” Jennifer ex-plained. “We originally started with five employees and since have expanded to 17 full-time employees with a handful of part-time employees. The processing business is not always the most glamor-ous profession; it requires dedication and hard work. Our employees continually go above and beyond to make sure each customer is served in a warm and friend-ly manner and more importantly, walk-away with their entire animal. We de-pend on them to keep the wheels turn-ing.” Kinikin Processing is located at 1032 64.50 Road in Montrose. They are open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m., and Satur-day 10 a.m.-2 p.m. For more infor-mation, call 240-4329.

VOLUNTEERS, DONATIONS NEEDED AT MUSEUM OF THE MOUNTAIN WEST From pg 1

on the TripAdvisor web site, Museum of the Mountain West offers proof that peo-ple around the world want to experience the days of the Old West in America. Mu-seum of the Mountain West also currently ranks number one of the top 21 “things to do” in Montrose, according to Trip Advi-sor. Cultural activities and attractions such as Museum of the Mountain West are cited by 25 percent of travelers who list a spe-cific interest for coming to Colorado, ac-cording to Colorado Travel Year 2013, the most recent set of annual tourism statis-

tics released by the Colorado Department of Tourism. That percentage is topped only by the number of visitors coming to see actual historic sites, which drew 36 percent. Typical of visitors with a passion for the Old West was a volunteer who came all the way from Rome to work at the Muse-um last summer, Fike said. “She worked until October,” he said. “She said it was the best museum she had ever seen. And we had another guy from New York, he was here three or four months. The word is really spreading.”

So is the collection. There are now 26 buildings and more than 500,000 artifacts at the Museum of the Mountain West compound, and the historic house located at South Fifth and Selig is next to be relo-cated here. “We’re going to move it, and we need funds to do that,” Fike said. Work continues on the jail and sheriff’s office, he said. Future plans could include annexation into the City of Montrose as well. “We’re hoping to work with the City as the East-ern hub Visitor Center,” Fike said, “and we’re looking at the options right now.”

The Museum of the Mountain West brings visitors to town year round, with more than 26 buildings and 500,000 Western artifacts.

All too often classical music is thought of as very serious, or worse, very boring. It is time to focus on the lighter side of classi-cal music and present some examples that show just how much fun this type of mu-sic can be, but also how many composers had a great sense of humor. Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet in E-flat major, Op. 33, No. 2 is also referred to as “The Joke” quartet as the piece takes a few surprising turns. This quartet offers up several jokes with a couple of them being subtle and ingrained within the structure and musical theory of the piece. Hard to recognize with an untrained ear and without knowing where to listen for the joke to occur. However, one section of this piece offers up a nice blatantly hu-morous bit for the listener to enjoy. Near the end of the fourth movement the piece apparently comes to an end but it is not clear. Just when the audience may begin to applaud the end of the quartet, the music starts again and offers up several false endings. The audience often catches on and will laugh out loud at the humor of what is being done. A simple and refined joke at the end of what is usually a serious piece of chamber music. Let us continue with another piece by

Joseph Haydn. The “Surprise” Symphony No. 94 in G major is likely the most fa-mous “funny” piece of classical music. This symphony is scored for a traditional classical orchestra and is composed in the classical four-movement structure. The second movement is a soft and slow movement that is the norm in this style of symphony. It starts as expected with a nice easy quiet melody in the strings. Without warning, a fortissimo (loud) chord comes out of nowhere, then, the piece moves on as if nothing happened. In old age, Haydn was asked if he meant to surprise the audience. He denied this was his purpose and stated that he only meant to offer something new to the au-dience. On a larger scale, the genre of opera called “opera buffo” is comic opera. This is in contrast to “opera seria” which is the more serious form dealing with more dra-matic characters and story lines. The structure of a comedic opera is often in two acts with four principal characters. The story and action often move quickly and the music is light and lively as an ac-companiment. Examples of opera buffa are Rossini’s “Barber of Seville” from 1816, Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro” from 1786 and Donizetti’s “The Elixir of Love” from 1832. Opera buffa allows plot lines that twist and turn at every oppor-tunity. Characters double-crossing each other, people in disguise, mistaken identi-ty, and rampant confusion. With this be-ing opera all of this comedic action and complex storytelling is all done in the name of love. The most famous aria from opera buffa, one that has been heard by most everybody, is “Largo al factotum” from “The Barber of Seville”. This show-piece for the baritone is considered to be one of the most difficult arias in the bari-tone repertoire due to its fast tempo and tongue twisting lyrics. To complete our discussion of humor in classical music, we will look at the won-derful world of P.D.Q. Bach. This fictional character of the classical music world is the invention of musical satirist

“Professor” Peter Schickele. P.D.Q. Bach is described as the forgotten son of J.S Bach. This is funny on its own since the elder Bach and twelve children. Schickele had a many decade career presenting the “discovered” works of this long forgotten son. The works attributed to P.D.Q. Bach often incorporate elements of pieces by well-known composers. In these pieces, Schickele presents the listener with instru-ments not usually heard in a more con-ventional orchestra. These instruments include the bagpipe, kazoo, slide whistle and “experimental” instruments such as the tromboon and the left-handed sewer flute. The humor in the work of P.D.Q. Bach/Schickele often comes from violating the expectations of the listener. Examples of this would be a piece ending abruptly, replacing familiar classical themes with popular modern music, unusual key changes, and other quirky tools that leave the listener laughing and smiling. The great thing about these comedic works by Schickele is that while providing a great amount of humor, they are also providing the listener with a solid foundation in mu-sic history.Titles of some of the works by P.D.Q. Bach give some insight into the humor that is to follow. Examples include “Pervertimento for Bicycle, Bagpipes, and Balloons”, “Schleptet in E-flat major”, “The Stoned Guest”, “Grand Serenade for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion”, and “Fanfare for the Common Cold”. The work of Peter Schickele and his alter ego P.D.Q. Bach is most certainly worth more exploration. If you are a parent with a child who has an interest in music, or if you want to get your child interested in music, this is a fantastic place to start and everybody involved will be highly enter-tained and amused. We must remember that even in things that are perceived to be very serious or difficult to understand, humor can always be found and it is this humor that we can use to expand our exploration of classical music and make it something and fun in-stead of something intimidating.

DON’T BE AFRAID...FIND FUN, HUMOR IN CLASSICAL MUSIC!
