Local news.

Any way you want it.

In 2007, births in Teton County were increasing and the hospital didn’t have enough room in its old unit, Palmer said. Though birth rates declined over the past several years, they’re now on the upswing again, she said.

“To have babies born in an atmosphere like this means a lot to a lot of people,” Palmer said.

While the new Birth Center is beautiful, it wouldn’t mean anything without the extraordinary physicians, midwives and hospital staff.

“Staff members have done exceptional and extensive training and are very good nurses,” Palmer said. “I would trust them with my life, and I don’t always say that.”

The center has comprehensive prenatal care and certified lactation support. It has low C-section rates for labor and high breast-feeding rates for new mothers.

“I’m so pleased to see this in my lifetime for these babies and families,” Palmer said.

“It’s so well done.”

ammy Coy has been visiting flea markets since she was small.

The certified antique appraiser and owner of Estate Collectables is an expert in the fascinating old treasures that fill her shop.

Furniture. Artwork. Fur coats. Navajo rugs.

Vintage glassware.

“It’s what I remember doing my whole life,” Coy said about antique scouting. “I love it all.

They don’t build things like they used to.”

She has curated the items she sells over the years by taking dozens of road trips and carefully sifting through bins at garage and estate sales.

A lot of the vintage items bring back memories for people. It’s common for her to hear the delight of people finding objects they remember their grandparents having, Coy said.

Since opening Estate Collectables at 1150 W. Highway 22 two years ago she has added services for people that extend beyond the 2,000-square-foot shop.

Coy will now appraise items for anyone in the region curious to know their values, like a personal “Antiques Roadshow” in someone’s house.

She also will travel anywhere for estate liquidation, she said.

“If somebody dies I have the family members get out what they want, and then I go in and clean out the house for them,” Coy said.

Her service saves families the pain and stress of trying to discard their loved ones’ belongings, she said.

Estate Collectables has inimitable items: Native American beadwork, wicker creels and beautiful old lamps, for example. A “man cave” downstairs is stocked with old vinyl records and beer steins.

Coy recently filled her display case with fossilized mammoth tusk jewelry that had been stowed away since the 1950s by an old Jackson jewelry shop.

“I have such an assortment of everything and stuff for every budget,” she said. “There are things in here in the thousands and things in here for 50 cents.”

The store also buys old items and takes things for consignment.

Estate Collectables is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. For information visit Estate-Collectables.com.

very mother knows it’s important to have a focal point to lessen the pain when she is breathing through labor contractions.

At St. John’s Medical Center’s new Birth Center that external focus is a breathtaking view of the National Elk Refuge.

“Every labor and delivery room has a view,” Nursing Administrator Joan Palmer said.

“Some beautiful birthing centers look out on a parking lot or another wing. This just sets our birthing center apart from any other.”

The new center, with six delivery rooms and three postpartum rooms, is clearly cutting edge.

The rooms were built so the hospital beds angle toward the expansive windows. Each room has a couch that folds into a bed for the dad, a flat-screen TV and a jetted tub.

“We had one tub for all of our labor rooms before,” Palmer said. “Now every labor room has its own tub.”

Each tub has jets, a spray shower and multihued lights for “chromotherapy,” or color therapy.

“Water has shown to be extremely effective with comfort in labor,” Palmer said.

The medical center also uses aromatherapy and music during labor to make women’s experiences more comfortable, she said.

“We try to involve as many senses as possible,” Palmer said.

The expanded waiting room — which also has a spectacular view — gives more space to family members and friends there to visit the new babies.

The design of the whole new addition is also calming.

“We love the color scheme,” Palmer said.

“Part of St. John’s philosophy now is to provide a healing physical environment. The Birth Center was designed to promote a sense of calm.”

The new center was funded in part by $11.75 million in specific purpose excise tax funds approved by voters in August 2010.

T

he logo and the coffee are known around the world, but customers coming into the Town Square Starbucks may find some things they aren’t used to from the coffee shop giant.

Starbucks’ new location next to Lee’s Tees at the corner of Broadway and Cache makes it a tourism hot spot.

Some of the changes store manager Sam Jensen has planned for the summer are designed to appeal to Jacksonites and visitors alike.

“It’s a very basic idea,” Jensen said. “It’s just coffee. But we’re really making an effort to be involved in the community and support locals, which is not something you’ll see from most Starbucks.”

The menu is pretty standard for a Starbucks: hot and iced coffee drinks in the store’s signature blends plus a selection of pastries and sandwiches for those feeling a bit peckish.

Jeffrey Kaphan That won’t Jonathan Rumfield, supervisor change much going forward, Jensen said.

“That’s part of why so much of our business is tourismbased,” he said. “We’re known. People come to us because they know what to expect.”

What you won’t see in another city’s Starbucks are Jackson Hole artists’ works on the walls or Jackson Hole musicians playing their tunes.

You also won’t see too many other stores offering discounts to customers who work on Town Square or offering offseason specials to Jackson locals.

All of those things are a part of the way the Town Square store does business, Jensen said.

Some of it’s already happening, like the local art shows and the Town Square discounts.

Some of it, like the live music shows and new late summer hours, won’t start for at least another few weeks.

Starbucks is now staying open until 10:30 p.m. to accommodate people who want some place other than a bar to sit and hang out after dinner, Jensen said.

Other Jackson Hole-specific changes, like trying to use local ingredients and products where possible, are still in the works.

“We’re trying to make it like a normal coffee shop,” Jensen said. “We’re offering the things people have come to expect from a Starbucks, and we will continue to do that, but we recognize that we’re part of a community, and we’re trying to find ways to reflect that in our business.”

Ryan and Sununta Hayworth of the Indian

I

n some ways the name of Jackson Hole’s only spot for samosas says it all.

In other ways it really only scratches the surface.

The Indian, the valley’s only restaurant serving Indian cuisine, opened this year on Center Street, and owner Ryan Haworth said the response has been encouraging.

“Overall, things are great,” Haworth said. “There will always be areas we can improve on, but as far as our initial concept goes we are very happy with the reception. We are lucky to have so many cool places to eat here in Jackson, so if anything I hope we complement what our town has to offer.”

After several years operating Teton Thai in Driggs, Idaho, with his wife, where the couple hosted Indian nights, Haworth decided to take the plunge using some of the same dishes developed during those events. The results have been delicious, he said.

Despite opening at the tail end of the ski season, when the valley largely empties of tourists, diners appear to enjoy the chance to try something new.

And there’s more to come.

The Indian opened in March with what Haworth described as a “very basic” menu ranging between “safer” picks that Western diners will recognize and a few more unusual dishes, particularly from southeast India.

“When compared with other Indian restaurants, we aren’t attempting to reinvent the wheel,” Haworth said. “We do, however, offer a selection of fun southeast Asian dishes that we will expand along with our Indian menu.”

Diners wanting to try new things can sample the restaurant’s $15 lunch buffet, including a few items that aren’t included on the Indian’s dinner menu, Haworth said.

“As we progress and work through our current menu, we will begin to offer many more dishes,” he said.

The restaurant is named for the Indian Ocean, reflecting the wider variety of southeast Asian cuisine that eventually will appear on the menu.

Diners also should watch for a late-night menu in the comings months, Haworth said.

T

he owners of Lift hope to turn the restaurant and bar at the base of Snow King into a neighborhood hot spot where locals can gather and enjoy a meal as the sun sets on another perfect summer day.

The Mahin family says the joint specializes in “local comfort food.” Everything costs $20 or less, from burgers to the lamb shank.

The cozy bar offers 17 beers on tap and classic specialty drinks.

Pat Mahin is the founder of the Mangy Moose Restaurant and Sa l o o n .

He and his daughter Lindsay decided to jump back into the restaurant game in December when they p u rc h a s e d Lift from the Jeffrey Kaphan Marinos. “ W e ’ r e Lindsay Mahin and her father own Lift. trying to bring a good vibe” Pat Mahin said. “We are funking it up a little bit with interesting decor and live music.”

The Mahins are committed to good service, good food and a comfortable atmosphere. That also means a commitment to good libations. Lindsay Mahin touts the restaurant’s bloody marys, which are prepared and then left to sit for two weeks to maximize flavor. Add a pickle and voila!

But perhaps the restaurant’s most visible assets are the sprawling front porch and Sky Bar, both of which offer expansive views of 7,808-foot Snow King Mountain.

“It’s the best outside seating around,” Mahin said.

The Sky Bar will have a separate menu with a full bar, table service and great views. The idea is to create a neighborhood gathering place.

The restaurant is tucked away in a quieter part of town, away from the bustle of Town Square. The hope is that residents will walk and bike to enjoy the bar or an appetizer on the roof. With plenty of parking, Lift is ideal for the whole family. The restaurant business has been in the family for quite some time and the Mahins look to keep it that way.

Pinky G’s Pizzeria

Home of Melvin Brewing

50 W. Broadway in the Pink Garter Plaza 307-734-7465

T

he next time you go to Jackson’s favorite late-night pizza spot you may notice a few changes — like having the room to notice things.

Pinky G’s has grown from its closet-size roots this year with a remodel that added a second room and a stage.

“It mainly just allows people to feel less claustrophobic and lets in a little more light,” owner Tom Fay said. “We also added the stage, allowing us to host singer-songwriters and give a boost to local musicians.”

The new space has the same number of tables as preexpansion Pinky G’s; they’re just spread out over roughly twice the space, leaving room for people who are sitting down to eat as well as those who are standing in line for a slice.

The new arrangement allows Pinky G’s to accommodate larger groups than it previously could.

Along with more space, the pizzeria added a new oven to minimize wait times for customers dining in as well as those calling in for takeout or delivery.

The most obvious changes are the small stage that now sits in the corner of the new room as well as the large red garage door that opens up for an indoor-outdoor dining room feel. Pinky G’s has local acts lined up to play free shows weekly and also has other plans for the summer months, including hosting all-ages open mic nights on Sundays and offering space for touring bands to perform in Jackson. Fay also is looking into hosting stand-up comedians.

On days with no one onstage, customers can watch their favorite sports events on the restaurant’s new big-screen TVs. In addition, the new space can be closed off from the rest of Pinky G’s for private events.

All of the changes complement the same delicious menu options that have made Pinky G’s so great in the first place, including the ever-changing slice of the day.

You just have to order them in a new spot: The register has moved from its former location to a new counter straight back from the entrance.

The new look does not herald a change to the restaurant’s popular late-night hours.

“I was nervous to actually pull the trigger on this,” Fay said. “I didn’t want to take away from the charm of the tiny local pizza place, but I’ve had a lot of good feedback. I’m pretty excited about some of the opportunities we have, now that we have that new space to work with. ” — Emma Breysse

Thai Me Up,

75 E. Pearl St. 307-733-0005 ThaiJH.com

T

hai Me Up, the Home of Melvin Brewing, is already known for its world-class beer.

Melvin Brewing won two medals at the World Beer Cup earlier this year: a gold in the Imperial India Pale Ale category for its 2x4 ale and a bronze in the fruit beer category for its Chchchch-Cherry Bomb.

But now the restaurant, which has remodeled its space and management, is also making a name for itself with its “Thai curious” cuisine that uses locally sourced ingredients.

Owner Jeremy Tofte brought on manager Jamie Morris and chefs Eric Cretal and Jason Mitchell to give the 14-yearold eatery a breath of fresh air.

“I see it as an opportunity to do something that really hasn’t been done in Thai food,” Cretal said.

The chefs are bringing colors and flavors out of the menu that aren’t found anywhere else, incorporating items that aren’t considered traditionally Thai and using new-school cooking techniques.

They also are using higher-quality ingredients from regional sources, like Snake River Farms meat, local trout and Wyoming beef.

The new management has pared the menu to keep it seasonal and fresh.

“We come from the background where you change the menu with the produce and proteins that are available and freshest at time,” Morris said. “We shrank the menu down considerably in order to do the quality.”

The full menu is available in the entire restaurant. The renovation added a wall between the bar and dining room to keep the two areas separate for families and pub patrons.

An expanded bar seats 10 more people than previously and is an inviting place to sit down and enjoy an entree.

There are 20 craft beers on tap at all times, including the nanobrewery’s finest as well as other favorites.

The restaurant is open late for all eating and drinking needs and wants people to know they can get a wide variety of food there after 10 p.m.

And while there have been some changes, Thai Me Up is still catering to skids with its $8 little curry of the day (color denoted by the lamp in the bar area), and a Melvin Burger special that comes with a fried shishito, poached egg, bacon and Thai mayonnaise with tots on the side for $8 after 10 p.m. and for $10 with a beer on Tuesdays. The burger usually costs $12.

“If you’re drinking the best double IPA in the world you should be having one of the best dishes in the world to go with it and great service,” Morris said.

Pinky G’s Pizzeria now has a stage for live entertainment.

t Jackson Whole Family Health, providing care is about more than just fixing a patient’s ailment.

The 12-year-old practice is helmed by Nurse Practitioner Charlotte Mason, who says the patient-centered care Jackson Whole Family Health offers is about taking a look at a person’s entire health.

“As nurse practitioners we like to focus on wellness and preventing illness,” Mason said. “We really try to focus on patients being engaged in their care.”

Jackson Whole Family Health has been serving residents from Teton County and beyond for years with urgent, acute and chronic health care.

Mason recently earned her doctorate, specializing in diabetes care.

The office takes walk-in patients, and can help anyone from young children to the elderly.

Two new additions were made in the past year, including Nurse Practitioner Layne Lash.

“We take a comprehensive approach,” Lash Jeffrey Kaphan said. “We don’t The staff at JWFH just look at one issue.”

The goal is to “catch issues before they cause illness,” she said.

Another new face is Medical Assistant Gabby Perez.

Among other duties Perez often acts as a Spanish translator for patients, which means another entire segment of the Jackson Hole community can receive hassle-free care at Whole Family Health.

“Our patients don’t necessarily have to rely on a translator to come in,” Perez said. That makes things easier and more convenient, she said.

The office is small, which allows staff members to get to know patients personally.

Mason is in the process of getting the office accredited as a Patient Centered Medical Home. The classification applies to practices that act as the entry point for patients into the health care system, navigating them through difficult decisions and the various procedures and providers they may encounter.

Another recent development at Jackson Whole Family Health is the accreditation that Mason and Lash received to provide qualifying exams for truck and bus drivers through the United States Department of Transportation.

“We previously performed a lot of those exams,” Mason said. “We thought it was important to stay with those patients.

“This is the only contact a lot of these drivers have with the medical system. It’s important for it to be comprehensive.”

Throughout it all, Mason maintains the focus remains on the patient.

“Our policy is no matter how busy our day is, we try to fit everybody in,” she said.

“It’s about the patient, what their needs are and how we can accommodate them.”

n its first year of existence, Teton Technology Solutions has grown into a reliable full-service IT firm serving some of the valley’s most active businesses. Two of the largest real estate brokerages in the area dial up TTS to service their servers, networks and work stations.

“We do computer repair,“ owner Andrew Bishop said. “That’s a necessary part of the business. But we don’t want to show up just when something is broken. We want to partner with businesses to manage their current IT assets and help them make good technology decisions for the future.”

Bishop, who has been employed in IT positions in the valley for years before starting his own firm, compares Teton Technology Solutions to an “outsourced IT department.”

“I’ve worked for small businesses doing IT-related jobs for the past decade, and I saw a need in the valley for a highly professional IT firm that helps businesses manage their technology needs,” he said. “We do this by integrating ourselves with our clients more closely than the traditional it’s-brokencome-fix-it model allows.”

Bishop’s instincts were right on, as business at TTS is strong enough that an expansion is in order.

“Honestly, it’s grown a lot faster than I thought it would, “ he said. “I’m looking at hiring my first employee in the fall.”

Because of Bishop’s background helping businesses achieve their IT goals, TTS markets itself for what he calls the “three to 300 client,” meaning clients who generally have three or more users employed. His background has also made him very cost-aware.

“Most businesses recognize information technology generally doesn’t bring in much profit, if at all, so we focus our efforts on finding effective long-term and cost-conscious solutions to the problems a company encoun-

ters,” he said.

Bishop is well-versed in Windows, Apple and Linux machines and recognizes the importance of continuing education in the industry.

“The IT field is constantly changing,” he said. “I am a big believer in always looking for new ways to solve problems and seeing how that can help my clients. I’m also a big believer in using certifications to provide a solid educational framework to grow on.

“I and anyone who works for TTS will have industry-standard certifications, including Apple Technician certificates.”

TTS is set up to provide flexible solutions to clients’ needs rather than trying to force clients into a particular way of operating.

“Some clients have nothing but laptops,” Bishop said. “Some have a mix of servers and traditional work stations. Others need management on their smartphones, all of which we’re equipped to handle.”

Teton Technology Solutions seems poised for growth, and distancing itself from the “break-fix” model seems to be the right track.

“I want TTS to provide a comprehensive solution to each client by evaluating their needs and constantly managing their equipment, which is what sets me apart,” he said.

“We want to go beyond simply showing up when things go wrong. We want to be there to make things right.”

n celebration of Hines Goldsmith’s 43rd anniversary, owner Carolyn Hines decided it was time for a new look and bright fresh inventory.

The final look and feel of the remodeled store is wonderful and refreshing. From the handmade cherry wood show windows and jewelry cases custom-made by Charlie Thomas to the state-of-the art lighting, it all came together.

“I was blessed to have Jimmy Hartman as the contractor,” Hines said. “He is the most patient and meticulous contractor I have ever worked with.”

To highlight the remodel Hines is concentrating on bringing in a variety of types of work by Wyoming artists. These include antler furnishings from craftsman Doug Nordberg, of Cody, large powerful photographs from well-known Western photographers Jess Lee and Tamara Gooch, and stack laminated architectural and functional furniture handmade by Ati Bekes, of Cody.

Visitors to the store will also find accessories from local metalsmith Lee Willcox, who refashions horseshoes collected from Jackson Hole ranches; bronze and stone wildlife sculptures from Jeff Rudolph, also from Cody; as well as the unique hand-blown glass forms of international artist Josh Simpson.

As always, Hines said, she and goldsmith Gary Smith will continue to specialize in their exquisite and exclusive Teton jewelry line in gold and silver.

“When you own the game and it is obviously successful, you have a lot of followers trying to copy your success,” Hines said. “But we have taken our Teton jewelry to ultimate heights with pave-set diamonds and inlaid gemstones.

“As with all of the jewelry I carry, I believe jewelry should be timeless yet fashionable, make a statement for the proud owner and always have an inherent value.”

Carolyn Hines

Jeffrey Kaphan

Hines said her creative passion is “the beautiful imported crystal as well as glass barware, vases, carafes and decanters that my friend Judy and I collaborate on. I collect the crystal and glassware from all parts of the world, and then she hand-etches her wonderful native wildlife designs, as well as our Wyoming bucking bronco and our Teton design.

“The depth of her designs is wonderful, since she incorporates trees, bushes and scenery with the animals,” Hines said. “It is so pleasing to have functional yet artistic wine glasses at your dinner table or unique one-ofa-kind vases for your home.”

Hines has always specialized in unique jewelry, charms and artwork, so if you are looking for an unusual gift, a pair of creative geometric silver earrings for $50 or a hall table for $12,000, you can find an interesting selection at Hines Goldsmith.

ou’ve seen some of New Thought Media’s work even if you don’t know it.

A Jackson-based digital marketing agency, New Thought has been turning heads in the marketing world with its radical approach to social media and content marketing. The forward-thinking agency develops new video, photo and written content for its clients every month, then uses marketing expertise to promote the media it produces.

Founding partner and self-professed “media-holic” Jesse Ryan is frank in describing the agency’s ad philosophy: “Ads suck. Nobody likes them. If you want to reach people you’ve got to move them.”

One project out of the agency’s Gaslight Alley office — the “From Valley to Peak” video series for Grand Teton National Park — went straight viral, earning New Thought the 2014 Excellence in Multimedia Outreach Award from the Association of Partners for Public Lands.

“It used to be that when we’d pull out the 4K camera, aerial cinema drone and motioncontrol time-lapse systems to make a video for a client, they’d upload it to YouTube and that was it,” Creative Director Ryan Hittner said. “After a while we knew we had to do more than just tell their story; we needed to help them share it.”

For a lot of companies, social media management is a full-time job, and in-house employees are devoted solely to the task.

“We really try to become satellite employees,” Hittner said. “We try to make sure that we’re as accessible as someone right down the hall.”

New Thought Media now offers a variety of digital marketing services to its clients. Ryan calls the combination of the agency’s media production and social media services “The Program.”

Today, New Thought’s fast-growing list of clients includes WRJ Design, Trilipiderm, Canvas Unlimited and the lodging-tax-funded 4JH, which promotes Jackson Hole.

What New Thought Media is not is an advertising firm.

“Taking advantage of social media isn’t about marketing,” Ryan said. “It’s about customer service. Creating content that people find interesting and want to engage with is key. That’s really what we try to do.”

Jackson Hole Boot & Shoe Repair

565 N. Cache St. 307-734-2725 micahelandali@silverstar.com

A

hiking boot or work shoe with a flapping sole often gets discarded.

That’s a shame, especially for people who value their pennies. Bring that same shoe or boot into Jackson Hole Boot & Shoe Repair, and for $15 or so you can wear it for another few years, maybe more.

Michael and Alexandra Sweatt, the shop’s new owners, are continuing the tradition at Jackson Hole Boot & Shoe Repair after acquiring it from Bill Dillon in March. Knowing that the repair shop has developed a faithful following over the years, they are not planning on changing much.

“It’s pretty much staying the same,” Sweatt said. “We just took some consignments out and brought in a new line of boots.”

That new line of boots — Twisted X — was carefully selected with an eye to reliability and comfort, he said.

“They’re one of the types of boots that you don’t have to break in,” Sweatt said. “Put them on and you feel like you’ve been wearing them for years. They’re very well-designed, too. Along with the new line of boots, we also remain an authorized Red Wing Boot dealer.”

Located on North Cache Street across from the visitor center, Jackson Hole Boot & Shoe Repair is one of the few remaining businesses in Jackson that have a space with an authentic Old West feel to it.

“There is almost a Mayberry feel when you go in,” Sweatt said. “It’s not very fancy, but that’s OK.”

Like his predecessor, Sweatt takes just about any job. Besides fixing shoes and boots, he does leather repair and resoling. Broken zippers, suitcases, purse straps, buckles — all are in Sweatt’s repertoire.

“We do high heels and stitched-on and glued-on cowboy soles,” he said. “Pretty much, if there’s anything wrong with a shoe, we can fix it.”

There are no flat rates for fixes at Jackson Hole Boot & Shoe Repair, but prices are very reasonable. A run-of-the-mill stitch job can run anywhere from $15 for a regular shoe to $20 or $22 for an English riding boot.

“If you bring in more than one item, usually you get a slight discount over the individual rates,” Sweatt said.

Turnaround for getting an item back is usually on the order of a few days to weeks, but it varies. Shoe shines are same or next day.

“Things can’t really be rushed,” Sweatt said. “There’s a process to it.”

An upgrade at Jackson Hole Airport will allow travelers to get their bags a lot faster after their flights arrive.

F

lying can be stressful enough as it is. At Jackson Hole Airport, it’s all about making things easier for travelers.

A new baggage return system, an extended runway and discounted bus service for locals are just a few of the changes the airport has recently made or is in the process of making to ease the traveler experience.

Indeed, millions of dollars are pumped into the facility each year to make sure the airport is as pleasant for visitors as Jackson Hole itself.

The goal, Airport Director Ray Bishop said, is “to make the visitor experience more enjoyable and more efficient.”

Construction currently going on at the terminal, for example, will upgrade the baggage claim setup from two devices with a total of 285 linear feet to four full-length devices with a total of 655 linear feet.

In the height of summer as many as five planes may touch down at the same time. As a result, waiting at baggage claim can be a lengthy endeavor. But that won’t be the case once the new system comes online, Bishop said. Travelers will find it faster and easier to get their luggage.

The expansion of the airport achieved a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-certified rating of silver, which is unique for a public structure, he said.

All in all, the improvements have been “dramatic,” Bishop said.

Parking is another issue the airport is working to address.

With a limited amount of space available, airport officials, along with the town and county, have recently come together to create regular mass transit service for locals.

Known as Ride2Fly, the service was a hit during its inaugural winter last season. The airport hopes to continue the bus option, which is run in conjunction with private carrier Alltrans.

Valley residents can park at the town’s garage for free and take the bus to the airport for just $8. Parking at the airport costs $10 a night.

Airstrips in the Rocky Mountain West can sometimes be tricky for pilots, but Jackson Hole Airport is taking steps to ensure things are safe and easy. The extension of the “paved safety area” of the runway works toward that goal and helps ensure flights are on time.

Funds have also been expended on environmental initiatives, moves that Bishop says show the airport’s commitment to being a steward of the valley’s natural resources.

Jackson Hole Airport is, after all, the only airport in the country operating in a national park.

Recent projects include a new glycol pad that captures deicing fluid to keep it from polluting the aquifer.

Grand Teton Fly Fishing has everything you need to get hooked on the sport, including permits, ties and rods.

rand Teton Fly Fishing wants people to get hooked on the sport.

The shop and guide business at 225 W. Broadway obviously is.

“Most people who try it do,” shop manager Bruce James said. “People really tend to find that they can escape the rest of the world by fly-fishing.”

And Grand Teton Fly Fishing has everything people need to become fanatics: permits, hand-tied flies, hats, clothing, rods and reels.

The store carries all the basics for guided or solo trips, James said.

While the shop is relatively new, its service is established.

The show was formerly known as Jack Dennis Fishing Trips. Dennis sold it to his guides, and they rebranded it Grand Teton Fly Fishing, James said.

“We’re really not a new guide service,” James said. “A lot of the same guides who have worked here for many years are still here. It’s just a new name.”

The business still has the same permits to fish in Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks, among other rivers, James said.

It also has its blend of hardworking veterans and younger, passionate anglers who have traveled the world.

“We’re a nice cozy little shop,” James said. “It’s not a super, super busy shop where you’re not going to get helped or anything like that. You’re going to find what you need.”

And they’ll dish out advice for free.

“We’re willing to help people out and give them whatever information we can give them,” he said.

The shop is one of the only places in town that carries Mystic Fly Rods and was the first to sell bamboo clothing.

“We carry some lines shops in town don’t carry,” James said.

There are also a few things that people can pick up to commemorate their trip, like Grand Teton Fly Fishing baseball caps and other goods.

James, a veteran guide and avid fisherman, ties some of the flies that the shop sells, like Chernobyl Ants.

“I seriously doubt there’s anyone in town that ties their flies right in the store,” he said.

Fishing with the flies he ties is what makes it so special to him, James said.

“There’s a certain amount of expertise in the cast,” he said. “You don’t just throw it out there. It takes some practice to learn how to cast. It’s not something you can pick up in two seconds. There’s an art to it to a certain extent.”

James predicts a good fishing season this year, so interested people should book their trips early: Go online to GrandTetonFlyFishing.com or call 307-690-0910.

Among her vast repertoire, she offers professional presentation services to help individuals with resume development, job interview training, public speaking and professional image analysis. Anzelmo will plan events, ramp up marketing, help with crisis communications and act as a spokesperson as well as write and edit anything for a business’s needs.

“Everyone needs help with writing and with website content,” she said. “I look at websites all the time, and there are some that are great and there are some that I look at and I can’t believe the number of misspelled words or words that are used incorrectly.

“It’s just that people are so busy and they don’t have the time. I’m someone who has that skill, and I can help businesses make sure that they’re presenting themselves in a professional manner.”

ne of the freshest lunch stops in Jackson uses a method for preparing its sandwiches that’s probably foreign to a lot of eaters: steaming.

The steaming method is in the name of the business, Full Steam Subs, and is what sets the sandwich shop apart from competitors in town, said founder and owner John Long.

“We steam our subs,” Long said, “so you get a hot sandwich with no burned bread.

“I wanted it to stand apart,” he said of his new shop. “I always felt like there needed to be a quick sandwich option on the square.”

Steaming heats a sandwich throughout, keeping it moist and warm. It’s a somewhat common technique in other parts of the country but appears to be new to Jackson.

Located a block north of Town Square on Center Street, Full Steam Subs is now about a year old. Its diverse menu adds a new element to the lunch scene in the center of town.

“I’ve always felt this town could use a hot dog stand,” Long said.

Most of Full Steam’s dogs are made Chicago-style, and several have a few twists. Reuben dogs, chili dogs, spicy dogs all grace the menu, and for those craving a plain hot dog, there’s that too.

The sandwich menu includes more than a dozen options, ranging from a five-meat sub, the Jackson Five, to a fourcheese-based sub that goes by the name Full Steam Cheese.

Many of the subs, which range in price from $5 to $10, are topped with Wickles, a spicy pickle mix from Alabama.

Long has tweaked the menu to diversify options for people craving greens. A veggie pita is now on the menu, as well as a garden salad.

“Any sub on the menu can also be offered as a salad,” Long said.

Fresh-baked cookies, chips, and pepperjack and jalepenotopped nacho cheese Doritos round out the list of available sides.

Open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Full Steam Subs also offers catering.

he financial services firm J Singleton Financial has undergone major enhancements in the past year that the company believes will give clients a more personal and in-depth experience.

In May 2013 a professional business consultant was hired to work with the team to enhance the client experience and identify new processes to allow team members to develop and grow.

“We were doing quite well, and we knew we were ready to take our business to the next level,” said Judy Singleton, investment executive and president and owner of J Singleton Financial.

Two people were added to the team, and JSF expanded and renovated its offices, located near Town Square.

The goal was to “enhance the client experience and add more personal touch points to our relationships,” Singleton said. “It’s a more in-depth, personal interaction.

Singleton said none of the changes would have been possible without the combined 17 years of dedicated service and experience from Registered Client Associates Marina Vandenbroeke and Karen May. “Marina and Karen have been fundamental in the growth and success of our business,” Singleton said.

New team members include Associate Financial Advisor B. Hadyn Peery, who has worked in the industry for five years and is beginning a two-year Raymond James Advisor Mastery Program. New Client Associate Melanie Hall has more than eight years of industry experience in investments and life insurance and will assist clients with life insurance and long-term care products.

The expanded team’s talents will allow every client to have the full devotion of Singleton and a dedicated client associate.

Singleton also brought on Natalie Jones as office coordinator.

Jones has more than 13 years of experience in investments and financial services.

“I focus on the investments and managing the client portfolios, and the client associate is focused on the client’s operational needs,” Singleton said.

The firm remains committed to offering personalized financial strategies rather than generic investment programs. It’s a business philosophy Singleton has followed for 20 years.

“What we try to do is sit down with a client and listen to what they want to accomplish,” Singleton said. “That could mean anything from sending a child to college to investing for retirement.”

Financial planning and brokerage services are offered through Raymond James financial advisors. Investment opportunities run the gamut from stocks, bonds and mutual funds to unit investment trusts, private equity and more.

With the improvements the company has begun dedicating Wednesday afternoons to professional development.

J Singleton Financial is an independent firm located at 170 E. Broadway, Suite 100D, and can be reached at 307-732-6652. Securities are offered through Raymond James Financial Services, Inc., Member FINRA/SIPC. — Ben Graham

Jackson Hole Traveler covers what to do, where to eat and where to stay in Jackson Hole — information that’s helpful for visitors and those hoping to meet visitors.

ackson Hole Traveler offers a new way to tell our valley’s story while connecting visitors with the goods and services they need to make their stay here the trip of a lifetime.

The key to the pocket-size guide is that advertorial and editorial content are presented side by side for a unique “storytelling” approach.

The setup allows businesses to convey their history and character to readers, connecting them on a level that goes a step further than what is possible through traditional display ads.

“We live in the world’s greatest natural playground, we really do,” publisher Latham Jenkins said.

Jackson Hole Traveler is all about communicating that message to visitors in a new, more interactive way.

The publication and its brand have been around for nearly two decades, but a complete overhaul has taken place in the past year.

The magazine has shrunk in size so it can easily be stuffed into a purse or jacket pocket, unlike other full-size magazine guides.

“You’ve got to roll those up to carry them around,” Jenkins said. “That’s not very user-friendly.”

Keeping with that theme, Jenkins and his team have launched a brand-new website that is dynamic but also easy to use.

The site is organized under the same concept. It allows visitors to plan their trip from afar and to navigate Jackson Hole once they arrive.

The new look of Jackson Hole Traveler, both digital and print, is organized on three themes: do, eat, stay.

From those organizing concepts, visitors can browse restaurants, guiding services and lodging choices while learning about the activities and people who make each business unique.

“You can contextually embed the story so that the reader knows how to act on it,” Jenkins said.

A custom interpretive map was even added to the guide.

Rather than ending at the Jackson National Fish Hatchery, as many tourist maps tend to do, the grid extends to include the entire valley up to the border of Yellowstone National Park. It’s also presented in a new, easy-to-read view that’s designed to help visitors navigate Jackson Hole from Hoback Junction to Grand Teton National Park.

Another hope with the guide is that it will key people into the year-round Jackson Hole experience.

In its pages, both online and in print, summer visitors will be exposed to winter activities, while winter tourists will see the valley’s expansive warm-weather offerings.

“We need a guide that not only informs the visitors about their trip but also about how much we have to offer on a yearround basis,” Jenkins said.

ackson Hole Shooting Experience has become quite the hit with locals and visitors to the valley. Frankly, it’s easy to see why.

Want to tag a metal target with a rifle from a quarter mile away? Feel the thrill of a fully automatic MP5? See if you have the strength to stand behind a .50-caliber Desert Eagle handgun?

While “entertainment shooting” is a big part of the Shooting Experience’s business model, it’s not even close to everything the Shooting Experience offers.

“We take safety and education really seriously and combine it with a fun and relaxed coaching style to provide a truly unique experience,” said Lynn Sherwood, co-owner of Jackson Hole Shooting Experience.

Travelers partaking in a Jackson Hole Shooting Experience always have a coach at their side.

“It’s far from a free-for-all,” founder and coowner Shepard Humphries said.

Participants — 80 percent of whom are new to guns and target shooting — slowly build their way up to more powerful firearms, engaging in fun competitions with their family or corporate group with small-caliber firearms to learn safety and fundamentals first.

From tomahawks to blow darts, revolvers to semi-automatic pistols, historical battle rifles to modern sporting rifles, the AK-47 and AR-15 to the .45 ACP Tommy Gun and the huge .50 caliber BMG, guests have a fantastic selection at their fingertips and a noticeable “perma-grin.”

When asked about the most extreme weapon available for guests, Humphries was quick to point out that he and Lynn “only have weapons personally for self-defense. What we

Jeffrey Kaphan

Lynn Sherwood, Andy Ward, Ashleigh Allan and Shepard Humphries bring to the range for guests to use is a variety of firearms intended for sporting purposes, learning safe handling, honing shooting skills and being able to try firsthand a great variety of guns.”

New this year is the availability of fully automatic machine guns. The HK MP5 with suppressor is currently available as an additional opportunity after a guest’s shooting experience or lesson. An M16 is in the works.

Aside from adventure shooting sessions, the Jackson Hole Shooting Experience offers skills development courses and private lessons year-round.

“We have classes and lessons to help shooters grow their self-defense or hunting skills, nurture their competitive inner beast and shoot at targets over a thousand yards away, and to teach families about gun safety in their home.” Sherwood said. “We have an amazing team of 16 instructors at the ready to be paired with a group, individual or a family to meet their specific needs.”

Families reserve their shooting experience or lesson directly or through their resort concierge team. TripAdvisor reviews place the JH Shooting Experience as No. 3 of 92 familyfriendly activities in Jackson Hole. Get “On Target in the Tetons”!

usiness at Silver Star Communications is diversifying as the Freedombased communications and broadband provider has in recent years moved into data storage, cloud services and more.

Silver Star’s brand-new data center services are targeted at businesses and have the capability to duplicate and store mass amounts of digital information. In the event of a power outage or disaster, the information for your business can be quickly retrieved, said Jason Jenkins, Silver Star’s network support supervisor.

“If we can serve you on our network, we have an advantage over other data center providers,” Jenkins said. “It’s just like Amazon and Google, except that we’re local.

“We definitely work directly with customers to help them meet their needs,” he said.

When data is backed up on Silver Star’s network, Jenkins said, recovery and computer repairs take “minutes instead of hours or days.”

Now with offices in Jackson, Star Valley, and Teton Valley and Soda Springs, Idaho, Silver Star is also continuing its proven lines of service.

For Jackson Hole’s businesses that means wireless phone services, fiber-optic and wireless Internet, and computer maintenance and repair are all available. Silver Star also provides networking, television service and security systems.

Jeffrey Kaphan

Heather Hanson, Kim Billimoria, Drew Izatt, Sean Strain and Liz Acosta Besides diversifying services, another change to Silver Star’s business is its location in Jackson. Previously a bit out of the way in Smith’s Plaza, the company’s new space is located closer to town in the Kmart plaza.

Ten employees staff the Jackson site, Jenkins said. In the region Silver Star provides about 90 people with jobs, he said.

Silver Star is also ultimately behind the recently increased Internet speeds in the valley.

The recipient of a federal grant through the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program, Silver Star recently connected Jackson Hole with fiber-optic cable to Teton Valley, Idaho, and central Wyoming. Silver Star installed 89 miles of fiber over Togwotee Pass and another 33 miles over Teton Pass.

The new links make Internet connections for Jackson swifter and more reliable, Jenkins said.

Union Wireless 1325 S. Highway 89 (in Smith’s Plaza) 888-926-2273 UnionWireless.com

U

nion Wireless takes pride in providing top-notch service to communities across its home state of Wyoming as well as parts of Utah, Colorado, Montana and Idaho. The company offers wireless handsets and service, landline service in select markets and high-speed data on wireless and landline connections throughout the region.

This past January, Union Telephone, the parent company of Union Wireless, celebrated its 100th anniversary. The focus of the company remains on serving the communication needs of customers in the Rocky Mountain West.

“The real difference between us and other carriers,” said Brian Woody, chief customer relations officer, “is that when you come into a Union Wireless store you’re talking with someone who actually works for Union and uses the wireless service.

“I’ve had several occasions when a customer has contacted me directly. It’s great that I can help them try to solve their issues. We deal with the big companies all the time, and getting to somebody who can act and make a decision can be pretty difficult. Our whole focus is on taking care of the customer.”

Some of that focus goes back to the company’s Wyoming roots. Union Wireless got its start in the Cowboy State in 1914 with landlines. In the late 1980s, the firm ventured into wireless and hasn’t looked back.

“We’ve been growing that product ever since,” Woody said. “That’s our new niche where we live today, and we cover places throughout the region that major wireless carriers do not.”

The West has lots of open space, but Union Wireless is up to the challenge.

“A lot of people work out in the field, and

Jeffrey Kaphan

Ryan Blair and Kelly Muir of Union Wireless they need to make calls and stay in contact for safety and security,” Woody said. “I’m proud to be part of a company that makes it happen.”

On Saturday, June 21, Union Wireless will move its Jackson store to Smith’s Eagle Plaza.

Customers will get first-rate customer service as well as the latest cellular devices and accessories.

“We will be giving away free Bluetooth hands-free headsets as part of the grandopening festivities,” Woody said.

Union Wireless is mounting an effort to get more fiber-optic cable in the state to increase bandwidth for 3G and LTE customers. The company also will continue deploying Solar COWs (cellular towers on wheels) throughout the state to increase coverage area. Solar COWs can be moved to areas where there is no traditional cell service. The units have a built-in array of solar cells and a wind turbine, eliminating the need for a traditional power source.

Union Wireless prides itself on the amount it invests back into Wyoming.

“Since we started in wireless, we’ve averaged about $25 million a year in capital that goes back into the state,” Woody said. “The great thing is we get to focus on our backyard.

We were born here, raised here, and we like to take care of it.”

T

he life experiences of Lynn Sherwood, founder of High Caliber Women, very likely resonate with a lot of women who aren’t yet comfortable around firearms.

Before working with guns professionally, Sherwood actually was afraid of them.

“I’ve had a lifelong fear of guns,” she said.

“It dawned on me several years ago that it wasn’t the gun I was afraid of — it was the bad guy behind the gun.

“Once I had that ah-ha moment,” she said, “I took a basic pistol class and learned all about the parts of the gun, the parts of the ammunition and how it all worked together.

“I trembled and fought back tears before my first shot, then fell in love with the sport from the very first ‘bang,’” Now Sherwood, who co-owns Jackson Hole Shooting Experience with Shepard Humphries, has created a business whose whole purpose is to familiarize women with firearms. It’s name: High Caliber Women.

“We’ve seen a growing interest and demand for female-friendly products, lessons and experiences,” Sherwood said. “We meet the specific needs of women and their families.

“We seek to empower women in life and personal defense with a comprehensive approach in mind, body and attitude,” she said.

“Shooting, especially in the self-defense realm, is about so much more than the gun.

We each have the ‘gift of fear,’ and we encourage you to trust it.”

Sherwood has a host of instructors to assist in teaching High Caliber Women in the field and in the classroom.

“We have a team of 16 experts sharing the vision,” Sherwood said.

Gloria Courser is a hunter with a passion for sharing her love of the chase.

Sherwood’s passions are for defensive handgun, tactical carbine and sporting clays.

“Each coach brings varied skills, education, background and teaching style to the table,” she said.

See HighCaliberWomen.com for a list of community courses. Private, customized instruction is provided year-round.

High Caliber Women is hosting “NRA’s Women on Target” on June 28, a fun event at which ladies will learn to shoot rifles, pistols and shotguns. A Defensive Pistol Skills Development Workshop will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. July 1, 8 and 15. Please register online.

“The JH Shooting Sports Foundation, JH Gun Club and Jackson Hole Shooting Experience have jumped in as generous sponsors to help get more women out on the range for the first time,” Sherwood said.

aper and Grace is making changes, including new ownership and a fresh look.

Always the valley’s best source of unique cards and stationery, now it is even better. In addition to stationery, Paper and Grace is stocking wonderful party and entertaining goods to make your next barbecue the cutest, most colorful, classiest party around.

“Paper and Grace now offers unique and beautiful party supplies,” new owner Jill Redmon said. “We carry items that will make your party memorable.”

Redmon and her partners at Montana Party Rentals in Bozeman bought Paper and Grace earlier this year and began transforming the store’s inventory.

Another change to the store is the expansion of custom invitations.

“We offer several lines the previous owner carried, but we’re also now working directly with smaller designers,” Redmon said. “When someone comes in and needs an invitation, they have more options. We love to match our customers with the perfect designer.

“Much attention has been put on offering something that’s not in the area,” Redmon said. “There are so many great shops in Jackson, so it was fun to focus on how we could be different.

“We want our customers to be inspired when they step in our shop,” she said. “Nothing is more satisfying than a customer who is excited about the fun and unique products we offer.”

Ever seen a push-up pop filled with confetti? Paper and Grace sells a variety, from ones stuffed with traditional confetti to an environmentally friendly option.

“This confetti melts when its gets wet,” store manager Cassie Dean said.

Need paper plates? Choose from a variety of shapes and sizes, including cute mini-cupcake plates and eco-friendly pressed-leaf plates.

Disposable linen napkins on a roll? Yes, you heard right.

“They’re good for about 12 to 14 washes and are available in a wide variety of colors,” Dean said.

Colorful straws with polka dots? Of course. Or perhaps you prefer a chevron pattern? Paper and Grace has those, too.

In addition to having everything you need for your next soiree, Paper and Grace is also the showroom for Wyoming Party Rentals, another of Redmon’s businesses.

Wyoming Party Rentals combined with Paper and Grace offers everything required for your next celebration.

Recollect Threads has new summer apparel and accessories to show at its store at 70 S. King St.

ust a block from Town Square, the Recollect Threads storefront has everything one needs for an amazing summer in Jackson Hole.

Sunglasses. Flip-flops. Inner tubes. Baseball caps. Fly-fishing face masks.

The clothing company’s shop at 70 S. King St. opened in December and is ready for summer, said founder and designer Alex Biegler.

“It’s our first summer season,” he said. “It should be good. We just got all our new summer apparel and summer accessories in.”

The other summer perk is the store’s patio to the left of the front door. It’s set up with furniture and twinkle lights ready for Recollect Threads parties this summer.

“The patio is brand-new,” Biegler said. “We’re super stoked on it. We’re planning to do some events here.”

The store will throw a big opening party on Thursday, June 19. It will start at 7 p.m. and go until late, with free drinks and live music.

“It’s open to anybody,” he said.

Biegler is hoping to make Thursday evening events a common occurrence throughout the summer.

“We want to do stuff for all the locals who help support us,” he said.

Recollect Threads’ social media will have updates and information about the Thursday parties each week, Biegler said.

Started in 2011, the brand has seasonal lines for winter and summer.

Winter merchandise is more focused on backcountry skiing and snow sports, he said. In the summer the store changes its focus to fly-fishing, mountain biking and other warm-weather activities.

The store is stocked with bathing suits, tank tops and sunglasses, among other necessities.

“We’re carrying tubes for the river, which are always hard to find,” Biegler said. “We’re trying to be the one-stop shop for summer.”

Recollect Threads started as a passion project for Biegler, who studied graphic design and business at Northwestern University. But it has grown into much more.

“The first step was someone wanted to buy a hat, and the second step was Teton Valley Sports wanted to pick up the line for its store in the village, and then one thing led to another, and here we are with our own store,” he said.

Recollect Threads goods are carried in 15 stores in the area as well as shops in Colorado, Alaska, Idaho and Montana.

“We’re hoping to continue to expand distribution in other ski shops,” Biegler said.

Recollect Threads truly has something for everyone — from babies to grandparents. And all of the merchandise is fun and functional.

“People are passionate about living in Wyoming and Jackson Hole, and we want to be able to represent where we live and what our passions are in a way that you can wear it every day,” Biegler said.

t’s James Bond meets John Wayne, with a dash of James Franco (the non-annoying part of Franco). Mountain Dandy — selling a hand-curated collection of home goods, antiques, linens, handmade items and contemporary and found art — is that cool. Which isn’t surprising, since co-owners Christian Burch and John Frechette are the same dynamic duo behind Made, the valley’s most awesomely hand-curated store.

“We’ve always had the idea of doing another store,” said Burch, who just wrapped up the school year teaching world literature and art at the Community School and is now taking a sabbatical to focus on Mountain Dandy (which opened in late May). The partners are saying Mountain Dandy is the “brother store” to Made. “We’re keeping it consistent with Made in that all the handmade items are from the U.S. and made by artists across the country, Burch said, “but it’s different in that it’s more masculine.”

You would not be surprised to wander into Mountain Dandy and see 007 (in my mind I picture Daniel Craig) sitting on the large chesterfield couch in the shop earlier this month. John Wayne would certainly sit at the giant, warmly industrial desk the store had on its opening weekend.

It’s important to clarify when these pieces were in the store because the stock is constantly changing. Most everything — and definitely the larger antique pieces — in Mountain Dandy is one of a kind.

“Once something is gone, it’s gone,” Burch said.

The two began collecting pieces for Mountain Dandy back in January.

“We did huge buying road trips whenever I had breaks from school and brought a lot of stuff back,” Burch said.

One of the motives behind Mountain Dandy is Burch and Frechette continuing the thrill they get from finding unique pieces on their travels.

“We’ve always looked for pieces for us, but then you get to a point where the house is full,” Burch said. “Curating Mountain Dandy, we still get to feed the fun that we have with that.”

The two think they’ve already collected enough pieces to get them through this summer.

“If not, that’s a nice problem to have,” Burch said.

While Mountain Dandy looks and feels like a men’s club, “we know we’ll get lots of women shopping for men,” Burch said.

I’d guess they’ll end up shopping for themselves, too.

Mountain Dandy has wooden bowls made by an artist in Vermont that I think are much more me than my boyfriend.

I have no problems imagining him relaxing after a mountain bike ride in one of Mountain Dandy’s leather club chairs though.

welve years ago, Laurance Perry a native of Belgium, a country where Easter is celebrated with chocolate, wanted to re-create her childhood experience for her two young sons. Her first foray into chocolate art was making large chocolate Easter eggs for them and their friends.

Her friends encouraged her to sell her sweets, and her hobby grew into a business: Petit Secret Chocolate. Along with her mother, Perry developed original recipes using an imported Belgian chocolate base and fresh European ingredients Today the founder and president of Petit Secret Chocolate is filling large custom orders for Vail Resorts as well as consulting with brides-to-be out of a remodeled barn in her backyard in Wilson. Her treats can be bought at, among other places, Pearl Street Market, Yippie I-O Candy Co. and Jackson Whole Grocer in Jackson and at Aspens Market in Wilson.

The chocolates come in all sorts of shapes, from bears to bison to cowboy boots. She also makes custom medallions with corporate logos and wedding couples’ initials. All of her chocolates are made with 100 percent natural ingredients — with no preservatives, additives, oils or waxes — in small handcrafted batches.

“Chocolate is great because people come in happy and leave happier,” she said. “I love working in a business where people are always happy.”

Perry is a self-taught chocolatier, having learned her craft on the Internet, so it’s not surprising that she’s a deep believer in education. Her newest project at Petit Secret Chocolate will focus on providing school supplies for children in developing countries.

Toward the end of the summer she will introduce a new high-quality, custom-designed box filled with treats. Each box will have a dual purpose. People will be able to buy a beautiful box of chocolates and enjoy the treats, then return the box to Perry. With the help of local nonprofits she will fill the box with school supplies and ship “Kid Kits” to those in need.

“I want to get them to places where children have close to zero access to education,” Perry said. “It could be the beginning of literacy for a child somewhere. I believe that if only one person in a village is literate, kids will be able to teach themselves the basics of literacy and math with the contents of the box.”

After all, that’s what she did when she began making her sweet creations.

The Kid Kit box in an appealing Tiffany blue is a step up in presentation for the company, which is well-known for its pretty blue boxes adorned with a bird. For $55, each box is filled with 14 truffles — in dark and milk chocolate — and two bars. The truffles, which come in a variety of flavors signified by their shape, like coconut and coffee, are creamy and decadent — a perfect treat to gift, share or keep.

Perry is happy to customize the boxes with different chocolate combinations and flavors.

Visits to Petit Secret’s kitchen can be arranged by appointment, and customers are encouraged to place orders in advance by phone or on the web.

ou’re far more likely to catch the dreams you chase when you bring the right tools along with you. That’s the theory behind the Start Up Institute, a year-old Jackson-based entrepreneurial training program focused on helping small businesses and start-ups get launched and thrive.

The institute, operated through a partnership between Central Wyoming College and Silicon Couloir, is a 10-week intensive program that gives people interested in running their own startup the tools they need to be successful. Sandy Hessler and Liza Millet co-created the program and are partners in running it.

“It’s addressing all the levels of what you need to know to really start and keep your business,” Hessler said. “Not only the financial, marketing and advertising tools, but really teaching people to focus their actions on why they want to do this and why their target audience should lean in to that. That stuff is a major hole as to why businesses fail.”

The Start Up Institute is held each spring and fall. Fifteen students spend 200-plus hours in a classroom working on all their key business components. The core curriculum includes two to three outside speakers a week. Following the 10 weeks of classroom time, students receive 10 hours of consulting with functional experts.

“The synergy and the magic come from the community you create with the other students,” Hessler said. “It really forms a core of a start-up support community that can be very helpful.

Our first class of students still meets once a month.”

Recent graduates say they appreciate the training as well as the group support.

“I really feel like I’m walking away with such a great foundation for my business,” one said. “I also love the community and connections that I have found here.”

Another said, “I wanted to start a business but didn’t know enough information to do it on my own. SUI is a brilliant, wellthought-out program that makes it possible to see, analyze, solve and act in a constructive manner.”

Central Wyoming College allows students to receive 20 credits for attending the institute. Wyoming Workforce Training and Development grants are available to Wyoming residents.

Several Jackson Hole small-business owners have already graduated from the first two institute sessions, and interest is growing from outside the state.

Eventually the goal is to make the institute an offseason reason to spend time in Jackson Hole and possibly to expand and turn the program into a way to fulfill community leaders’ longtime goal of making the valley a higher-education destination.

“We have people at all levels of readiness, from people who want to start a business but don’t have an idea yet to people who already run a business but are looking for some of those tools to go to the next level,” Hessler said. “It’s a really great way to connect the students with opportunities to succeed. Everybody wins.”

R

athna Raju, MD, founder of the Reincarnation Medical Spa/Center for Advanced Regenerative Medicine, started her integrative medicine practice in Jackson more than eight years ago.

“Nearly 10 years ago I stopped practicing emergency medicine full time because I was frustrated with our health care model — treating the symptoms of disease rather than underlying causes or even trying to prevent disease in the first place,” she said.

Dr. Raju, who graduated at the top of her class from Boston University’s School of Medicine, is the first and only physician in Wyoming to have trained at the University of Arizona fellowship program under Dr. Andrew Weil, the father of integrative medicine.

She is also board-certified in functional/antiaging medicine.

“It’s not just a treatment-of-disease model,” she said. “It is a preventive model. I do treat diseases, but from an integrative approach.”

Dr. Raju also is doing genomic testing, the “new era in medicine.”

“Genomic testing has a variety of genetic panels designed to reveal genetic tendencies toward common illnesses, which can be prevented with individually tailored nutritional and environmental intervention based on the test findings,” she said. “This can potentially enhance health and extend life significantly.

This is what allows us to really create individual treatment plans for patients.”

Dr. Raju is the only physician in the state who performs certain nonsurgical orthopedic/generative medical procedures, including prolotherapy, prolozone, platelet-rich plasma and bone marrow/adipose stem cell therapies.

“Instead of getting surgery for common sports injuries, there are ways we can stimulate our body to heal itself,” Dr. Raju said.

bow or knee and back pain who are currently pain-free,” she said.

Another procedure unique to Dr. Raju’s practice is the G shot.

“The G Shot is a G-spot amplification technique to increase sexual sensitivity in a woman,” said Dr. Raju,. “It’s a very quick in-office procedure that has no more discomfort than a pelvic exam.”

Dr. Raju is excited to be the only doctor in the state doing all of the above.

“I have patients who travel from all over the state as well as Montana and Idaho,” she said. “Word about everything available our clinic is spreading.”

Dr. Raju’s website is a good place to get details on all that is offered. She also offers a complimentary 15-minute consultation.

Whether working with lasers or stem cell or genetic testing, the result is optimal health inside and out. She offers a true integrative approach to health and wellness for patients of all ages.

iane Witcher has been making scrumptious homemade peanut brittle from a cherished recipe for her friends for most of her adult life.

“I’ve made it for years, and my friends have always told me, ‘It’s so delicious’ and ‘you should sell this,’” she said.

So she did.

“I launched my peanut brittle business at the February JH Art Fest,” she said. “Since then it has really taken off.”

Witcher sold bags and tins of her treats at JH Art Fest. She even shipped a truckload of her brittle to Los Angeles to be given out in welcome bags at a convention, and she has also been filling custom orders for a variety of events.

Quality is important to Witcher, and perhaps that’s why the delicacy is so delicious.

“I use only fresh, natural ingredients of the highest quality,” she said. “I really add a lot of peanuts into each batch. That’s another thing that makes mine unique, plus the texture and technique I use to make it creates a special taste.”

Her business tagline is “delightfully airy and perfectly crunchy,” and that really holds true. The brittle is truly light and crisp and a perfect treat for any occasion.

“Who doesn’t like something special that’s locally made and unique?” she asks.

Witcher learned years ago how to make the exceptional brittle from a friend. The heirloom recipe has been passed down through several generations, which makes it even

more special, she said.

Witcher is happy to fill custom orders for her peanut brittle for groups and individuals and can ship them anywhere. The treats are available in 4- or 8-ounce bags or 1-pound gift tins.

To order, email Witcher at dianesbrittle@ yahoo.com. She is also developing festive packaging for the holidays for people who want to give brittle as gifts. For information visit her business page, “Diane’s Homemade Peanut Brittle,” on Facebook.

While Witcher is making a name for herself with her new brittle business, she is well known for her artistic woven baskets, which are sold at Astoria Fine Art and the National Museum of Wildlife Art gift shop. Her website is TetonBaskets.com.

She crafts the hand-woven baskets with willows and reeds and incorporates antlers into each design. She has been designing and weaving her beautiful baskets since 1988.

eople seem to love the convenience of doing their shopping and then picking up a pizza or a slice as they head out the door,” Kmart General Manager David Jernberg said about the addition of Little Caesars to the store. “Some people will grab a slice on their way in.”

Little Caesars opened its first Jackson outpost in late March, selling pizza, wings and Crazy Bread. (The Little Caesars brand has been perfecting pizzas since opening its first take-out pizzeria in a Detroit suburb in 1959.)

“We’ve got Hot-N-Ready pepperoni pizzas for $5,” Jernberg said, “so you don’t have to wait at all.”

Little Caesars also has Hot-N-Ready wings you don’t have to wait for. Wings are sold in packs of eight, 16 and 24 and come with a choice of eight dipping sauces, including Buffalo, chipotle, ranch, buttery garlic, Buffalo ranch, “cheezy” jalapeno and BBQ. Hungry for something else? Place an order before you start your shopping or call ahead.

Little Caesars’ large round pizzas cost $5 for cheese or pepperoni. A Deep! Deep! pan pizza costs $8 for cheese or pepperoni. Additional toppings on either pizza cost $1.

And then there’s Little Caesars’ Crazy Bread.

“People around the country love it,” Jernberg said. “And it’s no different here. There’s a young man that comes in almost every day and gets some. He loves it.”

Crazy Bread can come with any one of eight dipping sauces, but most customers opt

“Why mess with a classic combo?” Jernberg asks.

An order of Crazy Bread includes six bread sticks and a dipping sauce for $3.

“We’ve always got Crazy Bread Combos Hot-N-Ready,” Jernberg said.

Little Caesars makes its dough fresh every day.

“We don’t use any strange powders, but real yeast that has to take the time to rise,” Jernberg said. “I think you can taste it. Our dough is really good.”

Jernberg said his favorite pizza is a sausage and pepperoni Deep! Deep! pizza.

“Its crust has a crunchy outer texture with a soft middle,” he said.

A daily lunch special includes half a Deep!

Deep! pizza and a drink. It’s priced at just $5.

“We do that every day,” Jernberg said.

Little Caesars is open daily in the summer from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. During the offseason it’s open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

t Chrysalis Coaching it’s all about achieving lasting health goals, whether you’re an experienced triathlete looking to better your race performance or someone who is struggling with weight or health problems.

Certified triathlon trainer and health and wellness coach Molly Breslin works with clients to set personal benchmarks. The focus is on goals that can be achieved and maintained.

The idea is to turn “a health challenge into an opportunity to thrive,” Breslin said.

For her, belief in the program runs deep because it’s personal.

At the age of 25, Breslin was struck with an acute asthma attack on a racquetball court and was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma. Subsequently she found herself gaining weight and her asthma worsening.

That episode, in tandem with her brother challenging her to enter a triathlon, was the motivation she needed.

She finished her first triathlon in close to last place, but in her mind it was a success.

“It really inspired me to get my health issues under control,” Breslin said.

She went on to claim the Wyoming state championship in triathlon in 2005 and was ranked one of the 50 best female amateur triathletes in the country.

She also changed careers, from economist to nurse anesthetist, and to date has worked at 37 hospitals in a variety of capacities, from critical care neonatology and pediatrics to anesthesia for all age groups.

Her medical background brings additional expertise to her work, and interventions are grounded in science. Research shows that quick fixes and fads are destined to fail and frequently cause more harm than good.

Breslin now works with groups and individuals, beginners and experts. Paramount to her method is setting and achieving transfor-

mative goals. It requires developing a personal formula for each client.

Breslin often helps those struggling with weight gain or an injury by setting goals with an athletic bent. That could mean running or walking a 5-kilometer race, competing in a triathlon or summiting Snow King two days a week.

The end goal isn’t competing. It’s getting on track with a healthy, sustainable lifestyle.

Breslin has coached a women’s developmental running group through Runner’s World in Pennsylvania and is a Level I coach for USA Triathlon. She also has her certifications in Health and Wellness through Wellcoaches, an affiliate of the American College of Sports Medicine, and Sports Nutrition as well as Nutrition for Optimal Health and Wellness from San Diego State University.

ackson Hole babies need fleece, booties and cozy caps to stay comfy in our weather, while their mamas are looking for high-tech backpacks or sleek trailers to tote their tots along the trails.

We’re not a town that requires a lot of white lace dresses or miniature suits for our infants, though if you want those, Amie Greenwood can get them, along with the more practical gear needed for life in an outdoorsy mountain town.

Greenwood is the new owner of Backcountry Baby, a Pearl Avenue shop that carries everything the well-appointed Jackson baby and mother need. Cloth diapers? Got ’em. Baby backpacks? You’ll find those too.

Along with booties, onesies, organic baby bath products and clothing, strollers, nursing bras, chew beads, high-end consignment items (baby gear and maternity clothes) and fashionable maternity dresses that even look great without a baby belly.

And of course, Greenwood has Jackson Hole memorabilia. Backcountry Baby’s upcoming “Peak Series,” for example, will feature five Jackson Hole-area mountains on onesies and T-shirts. The series starts this summer with the Grand Teton.

The shop itself features a play area for kids and chairs on which mothers can sit to nurse their babies.

“I want to create a shop where everyone feels comfortable,” Greenwood says. “It’s a small space, so I have to be selective in what I carry. I pick brands I think are the best for the price ... brands that I would recommend

to my friends.”

Greenwood has big plans for her small space. She wants to support local artists and artisans and proudly points out the paintings, handmade caps and booties that she has for sale. After the tourist season ends she intends to offer art classes for kids and to sponsor a group for new mothers.

A whiteboard in the shop bears the names of seven expecting couples who’ve signed up for her baby registry.

“Expecting couples who register with us get 5 percent back of the final amount spent on their registry,” Greenwood said. “It is in the form of a gift card and will help them get the odds and ends that maybe they didn’t get at their shower.”

And with her Sweet Wonders delivery service, people can fill a decorative box or basket with items for newborns and new moms that will be delivered for free to the hospital after a birth.

Greenwood’s enthusiasm pervades the shop. It’s a bright, warm space filled with whimsical and practical items in a wide range of prices. So if there’s a baby in your life, check it out.

atch photographer Lindsay Linton in her studio, and you will see a dancer’s body in motion, coaxing the person in front of the camera to move with her, distracting that person to a place of comfort.

The result? Compelling, contemporary images that capture an authentic moment in time.

“Most people dread having their image taken,” said Linton, who uses her understanding of body movement and space — gleaned from more than 25 years training and performing as a dancer — to help her subjects let their guard down in front of the camera.

Linton, a Wyoming native, opened her studio at 960 Alpine Lane this winter, specializing in commercial work for individuals and businesses throughout the region.

“The studio is a culmination of the time I spent in New York, where I honed my skills while training with the best in the industry,” said Linton, who studied under and assisted worldrenowned head-shot photographer Peter Hurley. “I want to offer a contemporary voice to the commercial market in Jackson.”

Using the tricks of the trade learned during her time with Hurley, Linton coaches her clients through the process of finding the right angle and expression. She uses light strategically to make her subjects look like the best version of themselves.

“I love natural light, but I also love the consistency and control of the studio,” she said. “My lights create a luminous effect on skin tones that is incredibly flattering.”

Lighting is just one tool Linton uses to capture images. She begins by learning as much as possible about her client’s story to “discover the heart of their experience.” During the session

the client can see immediately what works and what doesn’t.

“We work on expression, being selective and getting the best shot possible.”

For businesses, Linton does more than capture basic images.

“I work with clients to ensure we are visualizing their personality and brand image.

Sometimes it’s best to shoot in the studio.

Sometimes it’s best to shoot in an environment. It’s more than showing off a product or a person. It’s about creating the romance, the visual tapestry that connects a buyer to a brand.”

To get the perfect shot, Linton knows it’s about more than just lighting or direction.

“I’m always thinking about how can I create an amazing experience. I want my clients to feel comfortable and beautiful, but also completely wowed by the process. It’s an intimate thing to open up to the camera, and I want to make that moment feel as special as possible.”

Linton Productions is a commercial studio and gallery open by appointment only. Linton provides free consultations and is also available for editorial work. Current projects include “Women in Wyoming,” a series profiling influential Wyoming women being featured on WyoFile.org.

“H

ere in Jackson we don’t always take care of our tweaks very well,” said Francine Bartlett, a licensed physical therapist and the owner and founder of Studio X. “We have a tendency to jump into sports and be hard-core.”

Since January, Studio X has revamped its specialty classes to take advantage of the fact that most of its instructors are licensed physical therapists and certified personal trainers.

“Our classes provide a challenging workout,” said Bartlett, who earned her doctorate in physical therapy this spring. “But because the teachers have the knowledge and the license to give proper advice, they’re great for people who have graduated from physical therapy, people who cannot afford physical therapy and people who want to prevent injury and develop general or sports conditioning.”

Studio X offers classes every day of the week and most days has three to four. Unique among its offerings are year-round Knee Conditioning and Sports Yoga, aka Ski Fitness, classes.

“Why not maintain your ski fitness all year instead of just jumping into it in the fall and perhaps hurting yourself because you’re starting from zero?” Bartlett said.

Classes vary in levels and include Total Body Circuit Training, Restorative Yoga, TotalBody Rehab and Conditioning, Knee Rehab and Conditioning, Back Rehab and Conditioning, Active Isolated Stretching and Yoga-Foam Roller Infusion.

Even though Bartlett is busy growing Studio X, she continues to practice physical therapy at Excel, which she founded with Maria Lofgren seven years ago.

“We often have waiting lists at Excel, so I thought Studio X’s classes could be good to help with overflow and affordability too,” Bartlett said.

All of Studio X’s classes are small — no more than 10 people in a class.

In addition to classes, Studio X has a new Therapeutic Tranquility Room.

“There we offer private body treatments

that are cash-based — no insurance accepted,” Bartlett said. “We want people who need physical therapy to be able to afford it. You don’t have to spend $200 to get treatment.”

Treatments available in the Tranquility Room include low-cost physical therapy, BioMat FarInfrared therapy treatments and AromaTouch.

The former helps with detoxing, easing pain and reducing stress. AromaTouch involves gentle massage and the application of essential oil to the spine and feet to restore homeostasis, reduce stress, improve immune health and decrease inflammation.

Studio X also has a Wellness Boutique that sells products that Bartlett says “can really help prevent or treat an injury or condition.”

Oncology — St.John’s Medical Center

“W

e provide care in a healing and efficient environment,” said Dondi Rettig, the director of oncology at St. John’s Medical Center, about the new oncology facilities at the hospital.

The facilities themselves are beautiful, airy and private, and each chair has its own television.

“The new department is three times the size of our older facility,” Rettig said.

The new department has six chairs, two exam rooms, a waiting area and a patient procedure room. Previously it had no waiting area, five treatment chairs and one exam room.

Behind the scenes it now has a tube system for delivering medications and labs and a Pyxis system that tracks materials such as tubing and bandages.

“Nurses used to have to leave and go to the lab or central supply to get drugs or supplies,” Rettig said. “Patients had to wait while this was happening. They don’t have to wait anymore.”

Another great improvement is increased patient privacy. Instead of curtains between treatment chairs, there are sliding doors.

“If patients want to visit with each other, they still can, but the option of privacy is now available,” Rettig said.

Oncology has also begun offering yoga to patients. Four patients at a time start a six-week class focusing on relaxation and yoga.

It’s not just oncology’s facilities that have been expanded.

“We’re growing our affiliation with the Huntsman Cancer Institute,” Rettig said.

Dr. John Ward has been doing bimonthly, onsite clinics at St. John’s Medical Center for nearly a decade. Now Ward is available via telemedicine when he’s not in Jackson Hole in person.

“We have a tele-robot we can use any time,” Rettig said. “Patients still get face-to-face time

St. John’s Medical Center Oncology also recently expanded services with genetic counselor Dr. Kory Jasperson, from Huntsman, and Huntsman is helping the oncology department develop a patient library.

While the oncology facilities have changed, the quality of care and the nurses delivering that care have not.

“The faces here are the same ones that have been here for years,” Rettig said.

Paige Janssen continues to be the nurse navigator, working with patients from diagnosis through the end of their treatments. Kerry Carr, oncology nurse practitioner, is still “front of the line,” as Rettig calls her. “She sees patients with Dr. Ward and does follow-up care.”

Other familiar faces are Beth Shidner, Carol Poole, Jan Bauer (who leads the new yoga classes), Hannah Morris, Addie Pascal and Holly Thomann. All of these nurses are either certified oncology nurses or are working toward their oncology certification.

“It’s a process that requires nurses have at least 1,000 hours,” Rettig said.

acksonites have been working out to the programs of Training To Be Balanced for nearly five years, and this fall they’ll have the chance to do it in a lot more ways.

The area’s “balanced body” fitness facility, run by Augie Hernandez, is moving to a new space as soon as the work is done.

Members will continue to have the options they’ve had in the current location, which Training To Be Balanced has shared with All Body Physical Therapy. But with three times the space, members will have more opportunities to get and stay fit in ways that suit their schedules and styles.

“The space here has worked for five years, but to be competitive we need now to expand,” Hernandez said. “We’re going to have all the fitness tools we have now, but we’ll also have more space, more opportunities, more special events and more training.”

Training To Be Balanced is slated to move to its new location, across from Jackson Whole Grocer, in the next two to three months, Hernandez said.

The extra space will allow classes and workshops to occur in two rooms at the same time, he said.

With the separate spaces, Hernandez also plans to offer something new, “blitz” sessions, which will be a cross between a self-directed workout and the gym’s more traditional supervised sessions — with a T2BB-designed program.

The idea is that people can fit in a blitz where they might not have time for a regularly scheduled class. Blitz sessions will still make one of Training To Be Balanced’s fitness coaches available to help direct and correct exercises, but the sessions will largely be self-directed. The idea is to have something guided for you, all the time.

Hernandez said he is reducing his mem-

bership rates now that he has the ability to take on more members.

“We’re excited,” Hernandez said. “We’ll be able to accommodate more people with more options and be competitive priced.”

What won’t change is the strategy that has kept Hernandez’s members loyal and fit for the past five years.

Training To Be Balanced operates on the philosophy of a balanced body, attentiveness, progression and quality challenge (or kick your butt, smartly).

Through private, semiprivate and group class settings, members work at whatever level they are comfortable with, using a variety of fitness tools and techniques to keep their bodies ready for the mountain lifestyle.

uring the past year the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce has stepped up its commitment to providing accurate information to its members and its efforts to expand the reach of Jackson Hole businesses.

Chamber members will notice a few things are different about the way they get visitation forecasts and sales tax information.

“With our mission here at the chamber, we have to walk a very delicate dance between focusing on enhancing business and preserving what’s already here, what makes us unique,” Membership Director Andy Heffron said “We’ve been trying to find ways to really serve our membership well during the past year.”

Possibly most dramatic is the shift from the chamber’s traditional weekly lodging barometer to contracting with DestiMetrics, a company that provides a wide range of lodging and tourism benchmark data on a monthly basis.

Rather than the coming weekend’s advance hotel bookings compared with the same weekend the previous year, DestiMetrics reports a range of data, including forward-looking occupancy rates and average daily rates.

Along with reporting on the past month, the reports give forecasts for what the same indicators will be like in the month to come.

“It is information all businesses can utilize to determine how they staff, inventory, all those unknowns,” Heffron said. “This gives a little more depth for making plans. It’s not just the lodging guys who can use this.”

The chamber also is rolling out a new and more accurate way to show the county’s sales tax receipts, which is another key way to track the area’s economy.

he eagerly anticipated opening of Jackson Whole Grocer at its new location at 1155 S. Highway 89 is finally upon us.

Starting in late June, shoppers can enjoy expanded grocery selections, a vastly improved shopping experience and a prepared foods section that will make your taste buds explode. With a community room, outdoor seating for up to 50 people and indoor cafe seating — with a fireplace — for 50, the Whole Grocer is sure to be an exciting new destination in Jackson.

“We are excited to be able to offer the community a bigger store and a unique food venue,” said Jeff Rice, owner of Jackson Whole Grocer. “We’re creating a new town center where customers can chat with neighbors and have a relaxing shopping experience.”

The grocery sections of the new store will feature 6-foot aisles, as opposed to the current 4-foot aisles at the Powderhorn Mall location. The produce department will feature a bulk greens island, a dried mushroom station, fresh-squeezed juice, fresh-cut fruit and prepared produce items. The meat and fish department will include an expanded selection plus a Poke Bar, featuring fresh seafood appetizers and ceviche. The bulk food section will offer 500 choices.

Delicious additions are afoot over in the prepared foods section, too, like hand-crafted pizzas, paninis, a full-service taqueria, an Asian grill, a sushi station, a self-serve hot bar serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a salad bar, take-away soups and an expanded chef ’s case. There will be an expanded fullservice bakery, including custom cakes and specialty desserts. The smoothie and coffee bar will be ready to serve delicious drinks, while cheese stewards on staff will offer expertise in the specialty cheese section.

Other expansions include the beer, wine and spirits department, with make-your-own six-pack options, and beer and wine for sale by the glass. There will also be luxury beverage options and a growler-filling station with two sizes of growlers.

The Whole Health department will offer more natural and brand-name health and beauty products, with more space for consultation with customers.

When you are ready to pay you will have many options for quick service: eight full-service checkout lanes and four express checkout lanes, plus two checkouts in the wine and spirits department and two in the coffee and smoothie bar. Got a question? Ask the friendly staff of the new customer service desk.

All this foodie fabulousness is happening in an environment dedicated to green principles. Floors are made of ground and polished concrete, sans extra chemicals, waxes or polishes. The exterior siding is made of recycled materials, and energy-efficient LED lighting is used throughout the inside and outside.

“We will be ‘Green Chill Certified’ from the EPA due to our store refrigeration system,” Rice said. “This state-of-the-art facility will allow us to continue to provide service to our customers at the highest level while doing our part for the environment.”

e haven’t closed,” said Queenie & Co. co-owner and buyer Sarah Read. “We’re just getting back to our roots.”

Queenie & Co. opened in 2005 as the valley’s first boutique offering affordable fashionforward clothing for women. In 2009, the shop began taking consignments and did wonderfully well with that, getting to a point where it sold only consigned pieces.

“But that wasn’t what we had opened for,” Read said. “I really love new retail. So that’s what we’ve gone back to.”

Queenie & Co. 2.0 is better than the original, but don’t worry that this means the boutique’s price point has gone up.

“Our goal remains the same: to offer clothing and fun items that the women who live here will like and can afford to buy,” Read said.

What’s different this time around is the addition of gift and home items.

“People have always complimented me on the ambiance of the store,” Read said.

“Many of the lamps and decor I use for the store are finds from flea markets or antique malls, though, so I won’t sell those — they’re one of a kind — but I brought in new items like pillows, luggage tags and cards that have the same aesthetic as the store decor and aren’t one-of-a-kind. But they still are fun and unique.”

Queenie & Co. itself is fun and unique.

Read initially opened the business with her daughter. Her daughter has since moved out of the valley, but the two continue to go on buying trips together.

“I think having people of different ages shopping for the store gives it a different perspective,” Read said. “My daughter and I have different tastes, but we sometimes also overlap.”

Read said she often sees mothers and daughters shopping together in the store.

“I think we’ve got a broad appeal.”

In addition to fashionable feminine cloth-

“We love to carry locally made items,” Read said.

Right now Read loves Michelle Miller’s “Western organic” jewelry. Miller is a valley resident.

“She uses natural stones and chunky chains and sometimes antlers but will also add pearls or Swarovski crystals,” Read said.

“It’s really different.”

Queenie & Co. is open seven days a week in the summer: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays.

Read and her daughter have recently returned from a buying trip where they found “lots of fun summer stuff,” Read said.

Nor will Haydens Post’s Soul Supper Sundays disappear. “They were incredibly popular this winter,” Goslin said. Soul Supper Sundays includes a regional Southern dinner dish — it’s often fried chicken with biscuits and all the great sides you’d expect — accompanied by bluegrass, jazz or blues. The music goes from 6 until 9 p.m.

Haydens Post has free live music other nights, too: outside on its deck Friday nights and inside Saturday nights. On both nights the music starts around 7 and goes until 10.

For people out late, Haydens Post serves food later than most every other sit-down restaurant in the valley.

“The kitchen is open until 11 every single night,” Goslin said. “And we’re open later for bar service.”

As great as it is to have a late-night dining option, Haydens Post’s best asset is most appreciated during the day: its new deck with 270-degree views.

“You see Snow King Mountain, of course,” Goslin said, “and the town of Jackson, and there’s a tremendous view of Glory Bowl.”

ven though the ownership is no longer local, we’re still heavily invested in the community and it’s going to stay that way,” said Jim Goslin, director of sales and marketing for Snow King Resort Hotel and Grand View Lodge.

The iconic resort’s new owners, JMI Realty, have already shown this promise is not hollow. Immediately after closing on the property, which sits at the base of Snow King Mountain in east Jackson, JMI invested $17 million in a renovation to restore Snow King Resort Hotel to a premier property the community can be proud of.

The renovation included gutting all 203 of the hotel’s rooms and redoing all common areas, the exercise room, meeting spaces, Olga’s Day Spa, the Clip Joint and the outside pool, hot tub and deck. The Shady Lady Saloon was demolished to make room for an outpost of Hoback Sports where guests can rent skis and mountain bikes.

While the Shady Lady is missed, the resort’s new restaurant, Haydens Post, has quickly become a favorite with locals and visitors for its unique cocktails and twists on contemporary Western fare. Last month, a new executive chef, Josh Ladd, arrived from Berkeley, California.

“We know people already have old favorites here, and we’re not going to mess with those,” Goslin said. “The property Josh came from had a focus on lighter food, so expect to see more lighter options on the menu. But don’t worry about the steak and fries or kettle mac and cheese disappearing.”

overs of local caterer Maho Hakoshima’s cuisine can now enjoy his dishes on a regular basis. The Rose, Jackson’s favorite craft cocktail lounge, offers a full dinner menu to go along with its unique drinks.

This winter the Rose expanded its kitchen and began serving a full dinner menu. The style of food is contemporary American with a Mediterranean influence, and a lot of the dishes are designed to be shared, social plates.

“We match the menu items up to go along with great wines and cocktails,” owner Dom Gagliardi said. “It is really an experience where everyone wants to try everyone else’s dish.”

This summer the Rose hopes to expand its seasonal menu to include more happy hour items and late-night bites as well, depending on demand.

Hakoshima’s cooking style is adventurous, and he enjoys working with seasonal ingredients, so the menu will change often. At the Rose the menu reflects his desire to work with regional vendors and seasonal items. This summer he plans to work with farms in the area and at farmers markets to highlight the ingredients that can be grown around Jackson.

“I like to explore what is fresh and good at the time and create dishes that are right for the season,” Hakoshima said. “I tend to cook light, unpretentious dishes that are fun and meant to be shared. “ That way, he explained, diners can try different things and possibly explore ingredients they have never had before.

This meatball-type dish is made with beef, cumin, paprika and tomatoes and is bursting with flavor. Or the lamb burger — a favorite of Gagliardi’s — which is served with yogurt raita on fresh focaccia. Other popular items include zucchini fries and veggie empanadas, and there are nightly specials as well.

Gagliardi said he was thrilled to get to work with Hakoshima as the executive chef at the Rose because he has been such a popular caterer in the valley for so long.

“Now people who have always loved his food can get access to it without having to wait for a special event,” Gagliardi said.

The Rose opens nightly for dinner at 5:30.

Look for great deals at happy hour and an ever-changing menu that won’t leave you bored.

And try to save room for dessert. The beignets are a standout.

ooking for a great baby-sitter — and also maybe a gardener, a house sitter and a massage therapist too? Now you can find responsible, vetted service professionals all in one place. Similar to national booking agencies of its kind, MyGreatHelp.com puts clients in touch with providers they can trust.

Longtime Jackson resident Laurance Perry started MyGreatHelp.com last year to answer a need she saw in the Jackson Hole community. My Great Help Booking Agency is a Web-based umbrella agency for baby-sitters, senior sitters, pet sitters, house sitters, tutors, housekeepers, massage therapists, gardeners and wait staff. Perry personally checks the references, resumes and backgrounds of all providers she represents.

“I’m a parent, and I’ve been through it all,” Perry said. “How do you know you can trust the caretaker you hire? I really felt there was a need to have a local company to do this.”

Perry calls herself “a fun, loving, 50-yearyoung wife and mother with a huge amount of energy and a love for children of all ages.”

She has a background in child care, business administration and martial arts instruction.

She also founded and runs the small chocolate manufacturing company Petit Secret Chocolate in Wilson.

Here’s how MyGreatHelp.com works: Go online to the main website. From there, choose the service you are looking for. Click on the “make a reservation” link and fill out the specifics of your request. Perry receives your request and quickly dispatches it to the appropriate providers. When a provider responds, Perry gives that person your contact information and the provider calls you to

set up a meeting. From there the transaction between the client and provider is solely between those two parties. Cost of the booking service to clients: None!

“We facilitate the relationship between client and provider,” Perry said. “Our goal is to establish a quality pool of providers and a resource for clients to find their local needs.”

Perry said she is always on the lookout for great providers. “Basically I work for them.

I promote them.” People interested in being providers can contact Perry through the MyGreatHelp.com website.

While baby-sitting is the busiest service she offers, all of them are growing. Rates vary by service. “We try to be very competitive,” Perry said.

Providers pay a fee to Perry for her service.

The promotion and client connections are highly valuable to independent contractors.

Meanwhile clients can rest assured that all the providers available through Perry’s service have passed a basic amount of screening — a time-consuming process for busy parents and professionals.

here’s more to Jackson commerce than the Town Square.

That’s the message of businesses that have been pooling their resources to get the word out about the next street over from Broadway.

The Pearl Street Merchants Association was formed by a number of entrepreneurs who call Pearl Avenue home.

“We just want to let people know that they can find their Pearl off of Broadway,” said Jeremy Tofte, owner of Thai Me Up, home of Melvin Brewing.

“A lot of us Pearl Street merchants have been talking for years about how great Pearl and the feeder streets are, how truly unique and vibrant it is, independent of the season swings that take place on the Town Square.”

A movie, a yoga class, breakfast, lunch or dinner ... take your pick.

Tofte’s joint is just one of myriad eateries, retail shops and other businesses that make Pearl a locals’ favorite when it comes to downtown corridors.

Just east of Tofte’s Thai and beer restaurant is the upstart local clothing company Recollect Threads. Around the corner is the new King Sushi, which is taking the space where Shades Cafe used to be.

Farther down the street is the longtime local grocer and lunch spot Pearl Street Market in its newly renovated digs.

For the fitness-minded, there’s Physique 22, a new barre fitness and yoga studio.

Those are just a few of the places that give Pearl its character. Tofte and others plan to combine resources to advertise the street it-

self. The businesses will also offer cross-store promotions and deals. The idea is to reward and further entrench the residents who help keep Pearl ticking.

Located close to Town Square but away from the main tourist logjams, Pearl has always appealed to town residents, and Tofte hopes it can stay that way.

“Not that all businesses aren’t local, but we seem to cater to locals more,” Tofte said.

“It does take a bit of an adventure to get off the beaten path and look around the Pearl District. It seems that the longer people live in Jackson, the less they go downtown. Possibly because of the hustle and bustle of the square.

We wanted to band together and remind our friends that there is a slower-paced, localoriented shopping district that has plenty of parking, without the crowds.”

The Pearl District is the poster child of the Hole not losing its soul, Tofte said.

“I’m glad to be back in the community again,” he said.

He praises his dedicated employees at Quiznos, some of whom have been there for up to seven years.

“They all know the business well and are expert sandwich makers,” he says of his kitchen staff.

What sets Quiznos apart from other sandwich shops is, as Bradley says, “the toasting.”

The chef-inspired sandwiches were designed to be toasted so the flavors would literally melt together.

Unlike a deli counter, Quiznos is not a build-your-own sandwich shop. Instead, expect something gourmet, created with your taste buds in mind. There’s the Pesto Caesar, the Spicy BBQ Pulled Pork, the French Dip, the Veggie Guacamole and dozens more.

Along with the toasty goodness of its sandwiches, Quiznos also serves outstanding pastas, Bradley said. Recently he told his wife he would do the cooking one night. He served her a sampling of pastas from the restaurant, and, he said, “she was pleasantly surprised with how homemade it tasted.”

Quiznos is eager to cater events. It was recently hired to provide sandwiches for a lacrosse tournament in Jackson. The clients felt that sandwiches made for a fresher, healthier option than traditional hot dogs and hamburgers.

For himself, Bradley says he favors the Classic Italian Sandwich, which features capicola, Genoa salami, ham, pepperoni and mozzarella, with black olives, lettuce, tomato, onion and red wine vinegar.

Just in time for summer, Quiznos will begin delivery service in July. This makes for a great, casual option for a picnic dinner after a long, hard day of hiking or rafting. Call in your sandwich order, and all you need to do is sit back and crack open a cold one.

t Cabin & Company it’s not necessarily about how much or how many, it’s about quality.

The new business, which specializes in property management, vacation rental representation and real estate, is keeping things relatively small on purpose.

The goal is to provide unrivaled first-class services to luxury-home owners and vacationing guests.

Owner/broker Tom Hedges describes the new enterprise as a “boutique firm” with “uncompromising standards” aimed at surpassing the expectations of clients.

“We take especially good care of owners and focus on super high-end,” Hedges said.

“We want to be kind of a one-stop shop.”

If you want to have a car warmed up and ready for you when you arrive at Jackson Hole Airport, no problem. Need a bike or ski rack on the vehicle? You got it.

Cabin & Company has a fleet of luxury GMC Yukon XLs painted in the firm’s trademark brown.

Whether you’re a second-home owner looking to rent your residence or a vacationer hoping for the Jackson Hole trip of a lifetime, Hedges’ company will take care of the details.

That means restaurant reservations, meticulous cleaning services, or even groceries delivered to your doorstep. You just provide the shopping list.

“Clients don’t want to worry about those things,” Hedges said, “and we don’t want them to have to.”

The company already represents 29 homeowners in the valley. Hedges said the plan is to keep that number below 50.

By keeping things small, the company will be able to maintain its high level of service, he said.

But that doesn’t mean Cabin & Company isn’t dreaming big.

The firm has begun working in Teton Valley, Idaho.

Hedges already has an expansion plan for 2015, with the new locales being Aspen and Tel-

luride, Colorado.

A sister company, soon to operate under the moniker Cabana & Company, will provide the same services in beach resort areas. Hedges has set his sights on Kauai, Hawaii.

Still, to help maintain the company’s “boutique” character, Hedges will keep the homeowner representation list to 50 or fewer in each of its expansion areas.

Cabin & Company boasts low commission rates, Hedges said, and is beginning to accept a limited number of additional elite properties in Jackson Hole.

Valley homeowners will benefit from an expansive list of quality renters and a number of marketing opportunities.

For those interested, Cabin & Company’s new Jackson headquarters are located in a freshly renovated corner office overlooking the Jackson Town Square.

Patient-Centered Oncology Care

Editor’s note

t’s inspiring to know that there are not only second acts in Jackson Hole but third acts, fourth acts ... and even more.

This year’s Business Focus advertising supplement is full of stories of successful organizations that have found ways to become even better and of Jackson Hole residents who have reinvented themselves as business owners.

St. John’s Medical Center, established in 1916, has recently expanded its oncology department and birth center, for example, and made them more comfortable places for patients.

Union Wireless started life 100 years ago in the landline business and now, as its name says, has a new niche.

Financial services pro Judy Singleton has had a successful formula for 20 years, but in the past year she has expanded her staff and improved processes so that she and her team can give each client a more personalized and in-depth experience.

Diane Witcher, already a successful basket

weaver, is now in the peanut brittle business too. Her brittle was so delicious that friends encouraged her start selling it, so she did.

Champion triathlete Molly Breslin was first an economist, then a nurse anesthetist, and today she is a health and wellness coach with a business called Chrysalis Coaching Services.

Business Focus also shows that Jackson Hole has room for old-fashioned businesses and cutting-edge enterprises. You can read about New Thought Media, a digital marketing agency offering media production and social media services, and Jackson Hole Boot & Shoe Repair, where you can carry on the old-timey tradition of having your footwear fixed rather than discarding it.

These are just a handful of the stories in this year’s Business Focus. And while the title may say “business,” the stories are often just as much about people. Enjoy.
