...spot; moose, deer, bison and thousands of elk are frequently sighted. Springtime, meanwhile, carries the tantalizing possibility of seeing bears emerge from their long hibernation. Whatever the season, there's a Spring Creek safari to match. Half-day excursions start from $85. That's pricier than a movie ticket to Brokeback Mountain, but this is nature on a screen far wider than any cinema...
Furthermore, it is the generous funding from the College and the President’s office (although they have declined to say how much) that will allow the concert to happen in the first place.

For the past 12 weeks--usually the slow late-winter period--that rose...
