shrinking?

Take a hot bath. Get out for a walk. Call a friend.

If none of that works, professional mental health help is available.

By Johanna Love

A

re you in a funk? Have a case of the blahs? Obsessing about something?

You might benefit from one or more counseling sessions.

Although confidentiality is mandated for them, three mental health professionals spoke in general terms about the stresses and emotional challenges that Jackson Hole women and their families face.

Depression One in 10 adults in the United States suffer from depression, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports.

Depressed women, family therapist Elizabeth Cheroutes said, feel “unhappy with their life,” she said. “They can’t seem to find happiness in anything.”

If you have a fever, going to the doctor is a logical step. But if you’re depressed or have some other mental problem, many people don’t seek help.

“People still think that it’s somehow a character flaw rather than a real illness,” Cheroutes said. “Depression, anxiety, OCD, these are all things we can inherit from our families. When you’re dealing with a mood or anxiety disorder, there’s a biological component to that.”

Parenting anxiety Being a mother is an emotional challenge for many women. Especially in the first year or two after childbirth, some women are anxious or disappointed with their experiences and have trouble resolving perfectionist tendencies, Cheroutes said.

“They’re having a really hard time not being perfect,” Cheroutes said. “I tell my clients we’re shooting for 65 percent. Sometimes good enough is good enough, particularly with parenting.”

Lower your expectations, she said.

“When your standard is at the top rung of the ladder, there’s only one way to go.”

Trying too hard to protect your children can lead to over-parenting, counselor Jean Ferguson says.

That’s a relatively new trend, but one that can harm kids: being on constant cellphone contact, doing things your children should be doing for themselves, trying to protect them from the slightest bit of pain.

“In order to keep them completely safe,” Ferguson said, “you’d have to anesthetize them and put them in a box.

“We’re creating a generation that can’t make a decision. They call and ask about every little thing. They can’t cope with life,” she said.

Many women have trouble shifting gears from caring for helpless babies to allowing children to do developmentally appropriate tasks.

“Look at the big picture,” Ferguson said. “You’ve got to have an adult at 18, pretty much at 16.”

Family dynamics No woman is an island. Often a person reacts to another family member’s mental health issue, and counseling for both is needed, Ferguson said.

“If one person is struggling,” Ferguson said, “the whole family is part of the problem or the solution.

They tend to want to send the child in for a quick fix.”

One of the classic examples is a father is dangerously depressed, and a child begins acting out, forcing the parent to engage with them.

“Many times the child is reacting to balance someone else,” Ferguson said.

Romantic relationships Licensed marriage and family therapist Sharon Walls said most couples seek counseling as a last resort.

“I think couples come in seven years too late,” Walls said. “They’re struggling, they keep thinking they can figure it out.”

She prefers to use therapy as more preventive medicine than crisis management. She asks each partner to grade their relationship, separately, and then she talks to them about what they could do to improve their satisfaction.

If a woman doesn’t ask for what she

wants and expects her partner to read her mind, she often will feel resentful if her needs are not met.

“People stop talking and then resentment builds up,” Walls said. “It’s such an easy place to get into. People are trying to make a living, those are needs that get met.”

She asks couples to consider what brought them together that is missing now. Infatuation lasts 15 months, maximum, and friendship, respect and feeling supported and loved are the things that last. She recommends and teaches principles of relationship strengthening based on the research of John Gottman, author of “The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work.”

Speaking of work, Ferguson says, because Jackson is a hedonistic place, it draws people who prefer fun to work.

“Both women and men are surprised at what hard work being in a relationship is,” Ferguson said. “Also what I see is a lot of people haven’t built the basis for their relationship on anything other than their activities. There isn’t a lot of emotional sharing and communication. There’s a lot of competition, power struggles.”

Over-exercising Although extreme exercise sessions seem to be normal in Jackson, it can be a symptom of emotional turmoil, Ferguson said.

“It can be a manifestation of a lot of internal problems,” Ferguson said, “a way of escaping anxiety.”

Oftentimes, over-exercising is exacerbated by eating disorders in women, she said.

What help looks like After a counselor understands what a person’s issues are, the first portion of therapy might be spent learning to cope or manage a particular symptom, Ferguson said. Then it’s time to root out and address the cause of the behavior.

“That’s really the excitement of being a therapist,” she said, “the puzzle and the possible causes and solutions.”

Often, Cheroutes uses mindfulness techniques to “teach people how to relax and be quiet for a little bit.” She refers clients to a physician for medication if necessary.

Choosing a counselor you feel comfortable with is one of the major factors in getting the results you want, she said.

Why wait?

Getting help before a small problem becomes a big one could save you a lot of anguish.

“Most people don’t want to spend their time and money in therapy,” Ferguson said, “so they don’t come until they absolutely have to, until they’re miserable individually and relationally.”

Premarital counseling is an example of a few therapy sessions that can go a long way, Ferguson said.

“I recommend couples say to each other, ‘I’m starting to feel ...’ instead of ‘I’ve had it!’ ” Don’t consider counseling as the last resort for a relationship, Walls said, but more like an annual checkup.

“Ask yourself, ‘What would a tuneup look like?’ ” Walls said. “It’s not the whole relationship that’s not working, just this part.”

Do you need help?

Could you benefit from one or more sessions with a counselor? Here are some helpful questions to ask yourself.

How am I functioning?

Am I capable of doing day-to-day things?

Am I constantly thinking about my problems?

Is anxiety keeping me awake at night?

Are my relationships starting to suffer?

Am I isolating myself from family and friends?

Do I have thoughts of hurting myself or someone else?

Could I be more satisfied with life?

n these difficult economic times, a budget can help families and individuals set spending priorities and prepare for the day when there may be little money coming in and too much going out.

The key to making ends meet for families and individuals is analyzing income, bills and expenses from recent months, separating needs from wants, and then setting a budget.

Jackson poses particular challenges, such as expensive housing and high transportation costs.

The valley lifestyle also skews values: What many in other communities may see as a want — ski passes, for example — may be considered a necessity in Jackson, where the winters are long and children have few outdoor activities.

Given the tough economic times, people may need to learn new skills. When it comes to food, for instance, it can pay significantly for people to spend more time at their stoves, sinks and countertops preparing their own meals.

“Many people don’t know how to cook a meal from scratch,” said Mary Martin, University of Wyoming extension educator.

Through the years Martin has led budget classes in Pinedale, Star Valley and Jackson. She plans to offer one in Jackson in January. While helping people with finances, she has determined there See FINANCIAL PLAN on 12

Helmet use drastically reduces head-injury risk.

By Tram Whitehurst

F

or veteran adventurer, photographer and alpinist Jimmy Chin, a timely helmet purchase probably helped save his life.

On March 31, he bought a helmet. On April 1, he was caught in an avalanche that carried him 2,000 feet down Shadow Peak in Grand Teton National Park.

“It’s the first time I ever skied with a helmet on,” Chin said days after the avalanche. “There are definitely some dents in the helmet — not crushed. It definitely helped to have it, to some degree.”

Chin’s dramatic story reinforces what a number of studies have shown: Helmet use reduces the risk of head injury and death in activities with the potential for head impact.

Traumatic brain injury is a serious public health problem.

Caused by blows or jolts to the head, the injuries can range in severity from mild concussions to extended periods of unconsciousness.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates about 1.7 million people sustain traumatic brain injuries each year. And while only a portion of those injuries are sports related, researchers and doctors say helmet use can lower the risk

associated with those activities.

For example, helmet use has been estimated to reduce head injury risk by 85 percent for bicyclists, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Of all bicyclists killed in 2009, 91 percent were not wearing a helmet. Of those killed, only 13 percent were women.

During the winter months, skiers and snowboarders could reduce their risk of head injury by 44 percent by simply wearing a helmet, according to a study by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

“We see people frequently in the ER with sports-related head injuries,” said Dr. AJ Wheeler, an emergency room doctor at St. John’s Medical Center.

“The people wearing helmets have less severe injuries and quicker recoveries. You can still get injured wearing a helmet, but it definitely improves your chances.”

Wheeler said protecting against even mild concussions is important, because such injuries can cause brain damage and can have cumulative effects over a lifetime.

He encourages people of all ages to wear a helmet.

“I see parents all the time putting helmets on kids but not on themselves,” Wheeler said.

“Helmets are not just for kids.”

Female officers use

‘verbal judo’ Cops say knowing how to talk to people is as important as physical fitness.

By Sarah Reese

A

fter helping one of her male co-workers handcuff a man who had passed out on someone else’s porch, it was Jackson Police Patrolwoman Stephanie Zaroban’s job to take him to jail.

“You sound beautiful,” the man told her as he sat in the backseat of her cruiser.

PRICE CHAMBERS / NEWS&GUIDE

Jackson Police Patrolwomen Jamie Colvin and Stephanie Zaroban try to talk things out with troublemakers but will get physical, if necessary. “Sometimes we get the respect, but if not, we have to go in tough,” Colvin said.

“Well, thank you,” Zaroban told the man, who was arrested on a public intoxication charge after a homeowner called police in mid-July to report the unwanted visitor.

The exchange is just one example of what the Jackson Police Department’s patrolwomen face on a daily basis.

Jackson is a good place to be a female police officer, said

Zaroban, Patrolwoman Jamie Colvin and patrol Sgt. Michelle Weber. While they occasionally deal with men who have a problem with a woman in blue, being female can sometimes work to their advantage, they said.

“It can go both ways,” Weber said. “Either guys will like women and be OK to talk to you, or they hate women and they won’t talk to you. Everyone has a different

personality.”

Colvin calls the communication tactics police use “verbal judo.”

“We have to use it a lot more,” she said of female officers.

“You’ve got to talk to people in a certain way to get them to do what you want them to do without them knowing.”

Colvin has been in confrontations at her previous police job

fter more than four decades and countless events, Soroptomist of Jackson Hole can be considered a valley institution.

The service group’s members, who range in age from early 20s to upper 70s, help raise thousands of dollars each year for a wide variety of international humanitarian causes as well as for local women’s health care initiatives.

To keep that momentum, members reach out to the community each year, hoping to bring new blood and innovative ideas into the fold.

Every year, the organization hosts a recruitment event to give valley women a chance to meet current members and find out what exactly the group does.

This year, the recruitment reception is scheduled to run from 5 to 7:30 p.m. today at Cafe Boheme, 1110 Maple Way. “As we get new members, we try to get fresh ideas,” Soroptomist member Karen Brennan said. “Everyone who comes into the group has a chance to push their ideas.”

The group, which now boasts about 65 members, offers valley women a chance to get to know other women in the community and affords them a fundraising vehicle, Brennan said.

Members have put together events to benefit Rwanda Partners, a humanitarian group that helps residents of the tiny East African country, and Children of Peace, which focuses its efforts on children in Vietnam.

Locally, Soroptomist members raise tens of thousands of dollars each year for efforts such as women’s health care at St. John’s Medical Center and the Wyoming chapter of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which supports breast cancer research and education.

Whether they were trying to meet other women in the community, broaden support for nonprofit organizations or simply get more involved in the community, many Soroptimist members fondly remember their decision to join.

“It’s knowing that my voice was being heard in the community and that I had an effect,” Brennan said, summing up the importance of her involvement in the group.

Even for longtime members, participation still carries a lot of meaning.

“I have gained the knowledge of needs around the world,” said Gay Houchens, who has been a Soroptomist for more than two decades. “I have discovered that volunteering and giving is just being a good steward of the world, and I have discovered that giving is larger than myself and personal needs.”

ommunication skills have been a key part of being a business leader for Jackson native Carol Buchenroth Tome.

Tome was named a distinguished alumna at a ceremony Saturday at the University of Wyoming in Laramie.

She graduated from UW in 1979 with a degree in communications and has gone on to work as executive vice president and chief financial officer for Home Depot, a New York Stock Exchange-traded corporation that had a market capitalization of more than $54 billion last week.

“Excellent communication skills are essential to effective leadership,” Tome said. “The University of Wyoming taught me that communication isn’t just what you say, it is how you say it. Like one of the principles of the Code of the West, I learned to talk less and say more.”

At Home Depot, Tome provides leadership in the areas of finance, real estate, store construction, financial services, strategic business development and growth initiatives. The job keeps her on the move every week, traveling around the world for activities such as new store launches and meetings with investors and suppliers, a press release from the university stated.

She serves as board chairwoman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, received a No. 16 ranking in Forbes’ 2008 list of the world’s most powerful women, and was named an executive fellow at the Goizueta Business School at Emory University in Atlanta.

A member of the Atlanta Botanical

Garden’s board of directors, Tome received the 2009 Lettie Pate Whitehead Evans award from BDN Network and the 2009 CFO of the Year award from the CFO Roundtable.

“As impressive as her business accomplishments are,” Francis S. Blake, Home Depot chairman and chief executive officer, said, “even more impressive are her strength of character, her generosity and the role model she sets for all of our associates in Home Depot.”

Tome holds a Master of Business Administration in finance from the University of Denver.

She joined Home Depot in 1995.

Before that, she was vice president and treasurer of Riverwood International Corporation. She began her career as a commercial lender with United Bank of Denver (now Wells Fargo) and then spent several years as director of banking for the Johns-Manville Corporation.

Professional and personal accomplishments are rooted in Tome’s Wyoming experience.

“I’m grateful to the University of Wyoming for providing me with a solid educational foundation,” she said.

She also was grateful for the support from her spouse, Ramon Tome, and parents, Marion Buchenroth and Felix Buchenroth Jr. All three, she noted, attended UW. The other recipients of this year’s distinguished alumni award are Wheatland business owner Chuck Brown and Newcastle physician Michael A. Jording.

“I’m humbled by this recognition,” Tome said, “especially when I look at the list of past and fellow recipients.

I’m honored to be among them.”

Kate Schade started selling the original Tram Bar at only a few locations in Jackson Hole. Her idea has expanded to include five varieties of bars packaged in Victor, Idaho, and a much larger distribution.

he business, staff and digs may be bigger, but the ethos of Kate’s Real Food remains the same as when Kate Schade first started making energy bars in her kitchen more than a decade ago. Schade has always believed that good food fuels long play.

A native of New York state, Schade moved to the Tetons to adventure outside. Work — waiting tables — financially sustained her days spent skiing, but nutritionally, she found herself wanting. Unsatisfied by the French

toast PB&Js and banana-peanutbutter-honey sandwiches she would pack for long days at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, she began concocting energy bars from the real ingredients she had on hand. She tweaked the recipe with each batch. She would share the 3-ounce bricks with neighbors in the Tram line. Packable and delicious even when cold, her bars stood up to the ultimate play test: They fueled a full day of Tram laps.

Her friends urged her to translate her Tram bars into a business, an idea See ENERGY BAR on 11

she resisted. She had never imagined herself as an entrepreneur. An artist or writer, yes, but not a business owner.

“I never dreamed of starting my own business,” she said. “It didn’t seem like my thing.”

The tipping point came when a friend offered to go in on it with her. His health ultimately barred him from the business, but she still made the leap and began Tram Bar LLC. Schade’s other jobs helped her business grow. A server at Nora’s, she would make the bars in the restaurant’s kitchen at night and include nugs — end bits of Tram Bars — with patrons’ bills. She would sell the bars at her other employer, Wilson Backcountry Sports. Summers, she worked at Cosmic Apple Gardens as the work-share manager. The Victor, Idaho, farm nurtured her awareness of using organic ingredients.

“They are why I went organic,” she said.

After soldiering on solo for so long, Schade hired a cook. For years, she sold her bars only locally, but visitors to the valley soon called from home, keen to order a stash.

A friend at Cosmic Apple, unbidden, designed a label for her. Another friend, eager to learn web programming, built her first website.

“So many people helped along the way,” Schade said.

She nurtured the business with new recipes. For the Jenny Lake boat crew, she added dark chocolate to make the Grizzly Bar. The nutty Stash Bar features flax, hempseed and extra protein. The Caz Bar features the punch of organic garam masala, a blend of Indian spices.

As the business has grown, so too have the challenges, particularly in this economy. A bigger business means more complicated logistics, Schade said: “You have to be more organized.”

is no standard budget in Jackson, because there are so many different people living different kinds of lives.

Families, for example, may be able to follow relatively standard spending models (see table), but there are also service workers whose main emphasis may be buying a ski pass as opposed to health insurance. At the same time, there are the elderly, who find themselves paying 80 percent of their income to cover housing expenses.

“That doesn’t leave much for everything else,” Martin said.

Martin says people need to consider two main topics when budgeting: First, people have to review their expenses to understand how they are spending money — something most people really don’t think about. Second, they need to have a conversation, as a couple or as a family, about what one needs to survive and what one wants.

In tight times, the needs must prevail.

Martin also suggested people accumulate an emergency fund that will cover them for three to six months if they lose their job or can’t work because of health issues.

Smokey Rhea, executive director at the Community Resource Center, has in recent months found that she and her staff are helping people who have exhausted their emergency funds because they no longer have employment. They aren’t even opening the envelopes containing bills, because they know they can’t pay them.

Rhea’s organization is ready to help people try to regain their financial footing. Although she hopes people plan for rainy days, she also says people who have exhausted their options should know where to turn in the community for help.

People in need have access to a food cupboard and energy assistance programs. The key is turning to the center without shame.

Even for those who think they don’t have any money to save, analyzing spending is a crucial first step toward getting out of any financial problem.

“A budget is really imperative right now,” Rhea said, “much more so than it used to be. People don’t know how their money is being spent.”

Like the University of Wyoming extension office, the resource center also offers budgeting and financial tools for people — whether they are facing tough times or not.

Prevention is key

New services for women covered under health care reform.

By Tram Whitehurst

S

tarting next year, women will be able to access preventive health services such as mammograms, screenings for cervical cancer and wellness checkups without cost sharing.

As part of the Affordable Care Act, the new “Guidelines for Women’s Preventive Services” require that certain services with proven health benefits be covered with no copayment, coinsurance or deductible.

The provisions are meant to address the importance of prevention in overall health as well as the unique health care needs of women.

“The Affordable Care Act helps stop health problems before they start,” U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement. “These historic guidelines are based on science and existing literature and will help ensure women get the preventive health benefits they need.”

Non-grandfathered group health plans must provide the preventive services to women with no cost-sharing in plan years starting on or after Aug. 1, 2012. Grandfathered plans are not subject to the preventive services rules under health care reform.

The list of services covered includes well-woman visits, gestational diabetes screenings, human papillomavirus testing, sexually transmitted infection counseling, HIV screenings and counseling, contraceptive methods and counseling, counseling for interpersonal and domestic violence, and breast-feeding support, supplies and counseling.

“From a patient’s perspective, this does take away the financial barrier to getting these preventive services,” said Gary Trauner, chief operations officer of St. John’s Medical Center.

Mountain marriage Couples flock to Tetons to tie knot, and valley ladies get ’er done.

By Johanna Love

L

ove might be recession-proof.

Folks in the valley’s wedding industry braced themselves for a slowdown of nuptials after the economy dipped in 2008, but couples kept getting married, both residents and those flying in for destination weddings.

“We haven’t seen a drop,” A Grand Wedding editor Rebecca Mitchell said.

“People may have had to modify their plans, but they still go forth with their weddings. It’s a steady market.”

At its launch in 1999 by Johanna Marcell and Katie MacKenzie, the magazine was a modest 32 pages.

Powder Mountain Press purchased the title in 2006, and the 2011 issue is a weighty 104 pages, chock-full of photos, wedding stories, advice and vendor information.

Rugged or elegant, simple or elaborate, all weddings look stunning against the backdrop of the Tetons.

In the largely woman-driven fields of event planning, cake baking, flower arranging and invitation creation, ladies

work hard to ensure each wedding reflects the personalities of the bride and groom, Mitchell said.

After her own wedding in September 2009 was featured by Martha Stewart and the Style Me Pretty blog, Cara Rank

“People may have had to modify their plans, but they still go forth with their weddings. It’s a steady market.”

– Rebecca Mitchell Editor, A Grand Wedding

was inundated by brides asking her to create their invitation suites. Jenny Francis, the friend who designed the Rank invitations, became her business partner. About half the invitations they craft are for destination weddings, Rank

said, and the brides want Western elements presented in a contemporary or sweet way.

“They want them to reflect a sense of place,” Rank said. “They want their paper goods to set the tone. The first impression you get of a wedding is the ‘save the date’ you get in the mail.”

Alison Kyle, who has been helping execute weddings since 1994 for Destination Jackson Hole, said women are the ones who care about the tiny details that make a wedding special.

“I think women have always planned for their weddings since they’ve been little girls,” Kyle said, “always had weddings in the forefront of our minds.”

Women in the industry who aren’t married get an opportunity to live some of their dreams vicariously, and those who are already married can put ideas into play that they didn’t use at their own event, she said.

“Men don’t put much thought into that stuff,” she said. “Men like to stay out of the dress and florist planning. They just want to end the day being married to the woman they love.”

From the library to the

annals of law Bernfeld translates lifelong passion for information to helping people get legal aid.

By Brielle Schaeffer

etsy Bernfeld just can’t seem to stay away from the library.

The former director of Teton County Library was taking classes to get a doctorate in library science but ended up going to the University of Wyoming Law School.

When she graduated in 2007 and began working at the Teton County District Court as a law clerk and staff attorney, she immediately took to the little law library, located on the bottom floor of the county administration building and managed by the Teton County Bar Association.

“It was too small, and it wasn’t cared for well enough,” she said. “My vision for it was to turn it into a self-help center.”

Fast forward a few years: Now Bernfeld is hoping to find a bigger area for the law library to hold workshops and to provide free, one-on-one legal help for people.

Calling it the Teton County Access to Justice Center, she hopes to eventually provide a whole range of services for people, from family law to collections help.

For criminal cases, a person has a right to a public

Betsy Bernfeld, former director of Teton County Library, discovered a room in the county courthouse with a small collection of law books. Under her care, it has become the Teton County Access to Justice Center.

defender, but for civil cases there is very little aid.

“If someone sues you, you can’t help it if you don’t have enough money,” Bernfeld said. “I’ve learned through the court there are a lot of people that don’t have representation, and they’re in over their heads.”

Especially in Teton County, with the high cost of living, some people cannot afford legal help.

“There’s just a great need,” she said.

Loving the library Bernfeld’s passion for libraries started when she was a young girl in Tucson, Ariz.

“My sister wouldn’t let me borrow books,” Bernfeld said. “She made me check them out.”

She also loved stamping things, she said. Bernfeld would go around her house marking everything with a stamp of her father’s.

“I always wanted to be a librarian,” she said.

But when she went to the University of Arizona as a reluctant student, administrators said she couldn’t get a bachelor’s degree in library science at that time, only a master’s.

“I had to get a bachelor’s degree in something else,” she said, So Bernfeld majored in creative writing and sociology. After she graduated, she did social research in Tucson and then began graduate coursework in statistics to help with her social work.

“I’m a lifelong-learner type,” she said.

But in 1975, she moved to Jackson with her husband, after he had worked seasonally at the Teton Valley Ranch in Kelly.

Her husband loved it, she said. He came back to the desert obsessed and unable to stop talking about the mountains.

“I didn’t even know what a canyon was, let alone a route,” Bernfeld said.

But when she moved here, like most valley transplants, she fell in love.

Back then, there wasn’t a lot of work for a statistician, let alone a sociologist, in Jackson.

She began working as a freelance reporter for the Casper Star-Tribune.

She covered everything from local government to crime to environmental topics.

But the spotty work was not ideal for her young family, which by then included a small daughter, and Bernfeld decided she needed a steady job.

“I went to work for the library,” she said.

That was when the library was in a log building on King Street. Bernfeld was the adult services supervisor.

While working there, and with some urging from the state, she began taking classes to get a master’s in library science. She took distance classes with the University of Arizona.

With her advanced degree in hand, Bernfeld took the library director job and began overseeing the library after its move to the location on Virginian Lane.

“It was a big transition,” she said.

A life of law Never satisfied, Bernfeld took more classes in library science on the Internet, working toward a doctorate.

Eventually, that became working on a joint degree in library and law. Her mentor-professor told her, “I would sponsor you for that, but you’d have to go to law school.”

And that was that.

Bernfeld got into the University of Wyoming and left Jackson — and her husband — for three years to get a Juris Doctor degree.

“I just loved it,” she said. “I never

Lawyer finds niche in

immigration cases Trefonas Law defends people facing deportation, represents those seeking asylum.

By Sarah Reese

N

ot many attorneys have to hang a stop sign on their door, but that’s what Elisabeth Trefonas and associate Rosslyn Read sometimes do.

The two handle most of the valley’s immigration cases. In some of their clients’ cultures, dropping by a professional’s office without an appointment is how business gets done.

The two attorneys have about 200 cases between them and consult with up to 10 new clients each week. Since Trefonas began her immigration practice in Jackson in 2006, her client base has steadily grown.

Like many of the valley’s other businesses, Trefonas Law has taken a beating during the recession. Many clients simply can’t make paying their legal bills a priority, Trefonas said. She sees construction workers, hotel and cleaning employees, cooks and dishwashers. They will work two jobs if they can get them, but they have been struggling recently to get from season to season, she said.

Trefonas Law defends immigrants facing deportation and handles a lot of asylum cases, she said.

However, there are two types of clients Trefonas and Read won’t turn away: victim visa applicants and victims of domestic violence seeking green cards under the Violence Against Women Act. “It’s not a good business model,” Trefonas admits, “but it’s the right one.”

Victims of serious crimes who have experienced substantial mental suffering might be eligible for a temporary visa — even if they’ve been living in the U.S. unlawfully for years and entered unlawfully, Trefonas said.

“The U.S. has said, ‘Not only are we not going to deport you, we’re going to give you a carrot for reporting crime, because it’s safer for all of us,’ ” Trefonas said.

Some of the serious crimes that qualify include rape, kidnapping and domestic violence.

“The amount of domestic violence here is astounding,” Trefonas said.

The immigrant bears the burden of proof when applying for the visa, but there’s no statute of limitations on how long ago the abuse could have occurred, she said.

“If you were a victim of crime 20 years ago, as long as you have evidence and can show that you reported it and cooperated with law enforcement and prosecution, you could qualify for a visa,” she said.

To obtain a green card under the Violence Against Women Act, a victim does not have to separate from her abuser, Trefonas said. The reason is because an abuser uses his victim’s immigration status as a weapon, threatening to get her deported if she reports the abuse.

“We’ve done some cases where the husband never quite figured out how wifey got her green card,” Trefonas said.

While Trefonas often sees discrimination directed at her clients, she has not experienced it as a female attorney, she said. The legal profession has transformed in the past 40 years from being a male-dominated field to being fairly balanced. About 50 percent of law school graduates are now women.

If not for the many strong women who came before her, Trefonas might have faced more challenges, she said. She also arrived in Jackson

with a specialty that made gender a nonissue, she said.

“I’m taking clients no one else wanted,” she said.

“People, instead of competing for clients, were actually referring them to me.”

Trefonas has a bachelor’s degree in microbiology and worked in a laboratory in San Diego before starting to attend law school part time. When she decided she liked the law, she began working as a paralegal on immigration cases for an attorney in California.

She did research for him and prepared him for immigration court, she said.

“You get really used to not having the right answer and then sitting down and finding it,” she said. “After years of finding the right answer, you realize that you have a specialty.”

commissioned by Health and Human Services to conduct a scientific review and to provide recommendations on specific preventive measures.

Its report, released in July, relied on independent physicians, nurses, scientists and other experts to make determinations based on scientific evidence.

The measures were adopted on Aug. 1.

STD counseling covered Sexually active women can get annual counseling on sexually transmitted infections and HIV. Only 28 percent of women ages 18 to 44 reported that they had discussed sexually transmitted infections with a doctor or nurse, according to the CDC. Food and Drug Administrationapproved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures and patient education and counseling will also be available, although with certain limitations.

An interim rule was released alongside the women’s prevention guidelines to give religious organizations the choice of buying or sponsoring group health insurance that does not cover contraception if it is inconsistent with their beliefs. The proposal is modeled on a common exemption used in states that already require insurance companies to cover contraception.

Pregnant and postpartum women will have access to comprehensive lactation support and counseling from trained providers, as well as breast-feeding equipment. The guidelines note that breast-feeding is one of the most effective preventive measures mothers can take to protect their health and the health of their children.

An underutilized tool Preventive care is a critical but underutilized health tool in the United States. Research has show that, for various reasons, Americans typically take advantage of preventive care at about half the recommended rate.

For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have noted that higher rates of screenings for breast cancer could dramatically reduce the number of deaths from the disease, which kills more than 40,000 women a year.

The new guidelines therefore provide free mammograms every one to two years for women ages 40 and older. Patients who are identified as high-risk candidates for breast cancer will receive consultation on chemoprevention and genetic evaluation.

Many of the other provisions are based on the same principle of prevention.

Similar to well-baby visits and the annual Medicare wellness visit, the annual well-woman visit is meant to help women and their doctors determine what preventive services are appropriate and set up a plan to help women get the care they need

PLASTIC SURGERY OF JACKSON HOLE JOHN C. PAYNE, D.O. BOARD CERTIFIED Committed to our community, full-time, year-round

Plastic Surgery Consult

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The focus of this designation is to increase awareness of the importance of early detection of breast cancer. With early detection, there are more treatment options, often including preservation of most of the breast after removal of the cancer. In many cases, however, removal of the breast is necessary to provide the best opportunity for cure.

Breast reconstruction is an option available to every woman who has been treated for breast cancer. The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 requires every insurance plan to cover breast reconstruction following mastectomy for cancer, as well as treatment of the opposite breast to provide symmetry with the reconstructed breast. Many reconstructive options are available here in Jackson, including skin-sparing mastectomy with implant-based and autologous (own tissue) reconstruction, performed either at the time of mastectomy, or following completion of cancer treatment. Early Detection is the key to a cure.

acque Buchanan was only 12 when she shot her first deer on a hunting trip with her father and older brother in Potter County, Pa. “The deer was still taking its last breath,” she says. “I remember it being one of my happiest moments and a really sad moment. It was the first thing I ever killed.”

That mixture of emotions is one reason why hunting is so appealing to the recently anointed BridgerTeton National Forest supervisor.

“Someone who is passionate about hunting has both pieces of that,” Buchanan said.

Buchanan’s father helped her develop her hunter’s ethic in the woods of North Carolina, where she spent much of her childhood, and in Pennsylvania, where her family often vacationed. Her childhood was defined by the outdoors. She got her first pony at age 5 and her first quarter horse at 12.

“Twelve was a big year for me,”

she said.

During that time, she participated in 4-H, showing steers, sheep and a pig.

“I did one pig, and that was enough,” she said. “It’s hard to love a pig. Sheep are sheep. The lambs are so cute. You spend a lot of time with steers walking them and conditioning them. You just don’t want to spend a lot of time with a pig.”

In eighth grade, Buchanan was the first female member and first president of the hunting and fishing club. In high school, she went to forestry camp, which put her on a path to natural resources management, from which she never strayed.

“I was passionate about forestry and I was passionate about wildlife, and I knew I wanted to do something that combined both of those.”

Buchanan attended a year of college in New Mexico before taking a year off to work on a cattle ranch in Australia.

“I worked on the show circuit and hauled them all over Australia,” she said. “I didn’t see my family for a See SHOOTS STRAIGHT on 23

Chief Warmth Officer - Jackie Deghi Yes, that’s a title worth making in the world of small-town banking. Since 1997, Jackie Deghi wakes every weekday morning to join the Bank of Jackson Hole team. Many would say her job as teller is the most important job at the bank, as she is the front line for our industry. If one never gets a second chance at making a first impression, then Bank of Jackson Hole feels very fortunate to have Jackie. Many customers will forgo the drive thru to walk into the bank because of their personal relationship with her. She is not just a teller, she is our friend. Thank you, Jackie, for your 14 years of service and your warm smile at Bank of Jackson Hole.

Etcetera clothing provides great options for professional women in Jackson Hole, says Jinger Richardson, who wears the line and also sells it.

individual Tupperware or Pampered Chef party but with sartorial instead of culinary items.

“I find there’s a lot of women out there that don’t like to shop, so they don’t really know what goes good together,” Richardson explained.

A former model, Richardson has been wearing Etcetera clothing for about a decade now, she said. She first bought the line in Scottsdale, Ariz., where she has a second home.

“I always wore them up there [in Jackson], and a lot of my friends would always say, ‘Where did you get those clothes?’” she said. “I still have clothes that I’ve worn for 10 years. They last really well.”

Richardson said the Etcetera brand is more laid-back than Carlisle, its sister clothing brand. Carlisle clothes are popular in the East and South, she said.

“That brand is more expensive and more conservative,” she said. Etcetera “is more casual.”

“It’s more like nice casual to dressy casual, and they have a lot of fun shirts.”

No wonder the clothes are all the rage in the West.

When Richardson couldn’t locate

Etcetera clothing in Jackson, the company asked if she wanted to be the representative.

“I started to bring the clothes for all my friends,” she said.

Because the items are available exclusively from trunk shows, they’re different from what everyone is wearing in town, Richardson said.

“I always enjoyed that,” she said.

“Nobody else has the same shirt as you.”

Richardson likes wearing the classicstyle pants and shirts that have a little stretch to them, she said.

“They’re not so confining,” she said. “I can work in them.”

The collection provides great options for career women, Richardson said.

“It’s also good for some professional women in Jackson that don’t have any good place to buy clothing,” she said.

Prices for Etcetera clothing range from $95 for some shirts and blouses to $425 for jackets and coats.

Richardson’s daughter, Janell Grady, helps her out with Etcetera in Jackson and also sells the brand herself in Scottsdale.
