ic linkage critical to a relatively small population of less than 30 male birds, retired Wyoming Game and Fish Department biologist Joe Bohne said at the March 4 working group meeting.

“I’d propose that we link the two subpopulations and just call it one core area,” Bohne said. “The Gros Ventre subpopulation and the Jackson subpopulation — based on some genetic analysis — suggests to me it’s one population.

“Right now [the Gros Ventre] falls under the general habitat criteria,” he said. “My logic is basically a core area designation provides an additional layer of protection.”

Lands south of Bondurant near Clark Draw were also recommended by the working group as protected core grouse range, as well as a small portion of Grand Teton

The Jackson day care where a 3-year-old girl allegedly was molested by the owner’s son is back in business as long as he stays away from the kids.

The Department of Family Services investigated the matter and determined that ABC Kids Daycare, which operates out of the home of Keri Dyess, can resume business as long as Dyess’ son is not allowed “within 100 yards of children in her care.”

Dyess and the department reached an agreement regarding the status of ABC Kids’ license March 4. The agreement reinstated her license as long as she complies with its terms.

The department suspended the license shortly after a 3-year-old girl reported that “a boy at day care,” later identified as Dyess’ 15-yearold son, whom she home-schools, had touched her “down there,” prompting a Jackson Police Department investigation, court files state.

The 15-year-old faces an adult charge of second-degree sexual assault and remains in custody at the Five County Detention Center juvenile facility in St. Anthony, Idaho.

Family Services officials declined to state the reasons for the license’s suspension. The agreement, which

Meeting in Jackson last week, the Upper Snake River Basin Sage Grouse Working Group recommended designating occupied grouse habitat in the Gros Ventre valley and two other areas as core habitat. Including the Gros Ventre as core range would recognize and protect a genet-

Town leaders balk at massive commercial upzoning First public hearing on new town zoning is set for Thursday.

By Ben Graham Town officials will look at scaling back the commercial development allowed under proposed zoning for downtown Jackson once meetings about the new code begin this week.

There has been resistance from some elected leaders and community members who have said the estimated 2.36 million square feet of commercial development allowed under the new land-use rules is too much.

There are worries about how that much commercial development could affect Jackson’s small-town Western feel and its already-tight workforce housing market.

“It is clear that we’re going to be dialing back commercial square footage from the eye-popping numbers,” Jackson Mayor Sara Flitner said Tuesday. “There’s not a person in the community that believes going down a path toward building 2 million square feet is likely or possible. It is clearly not what we want.

It’s usually people trying to kill rather than photograph animals who are fined for violating Grand Teton National Park wildlife regulations, at least judging by the citations that were handed out to visitors last year.

Hunters were the offenders in about two-thirds of the wildlife-related incidents that deserved tickets from Teton park rangers in 2014, according to a review of citation slips acquired through the Freedom of Information Act. Nonhunters, usually those getting too close to wildlife, were responsible for the other third.

With wildlife viewers, rangers are understanding of visitors’ lack of awareness of the rules and occasional exuberance around the park’s iconic species, Grand Teton spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs said.

“What the rangers generally do is try to educate first, and then if it’s egregious they take the next step and issue a citation,” Skaggs said. “If it’s someone who has got too close to an animal, our rangers generally talk to them and try to get a sense for what’s going on.”

Feeding wildlife is considered a more serious offense, Skaggs said.

One California man who fed a black bear a banana in October near Jackson Lake Dam can attest to the Park Service taking the matter seriously.

The man, whose name was redacted by Grand Teton officials, chose not to take the advice of passers-by who warned him of the wrongdoing. His party also lied about having bananas, investigating rangers wrote. In the end the brush-off of the park’s rules cost the man $135.

Only one of seven nonhunting wildlife citations went to a Jackson Hole local and the rest to out-of-town visitors, according to the citations provided by Grand Teton park.

Other wildlife-viewing offenders photographed grizzly and black bears

too closely, used headlights to view elk at night, squatted 20 feet away from bison and moved cones to drive down Moose-Wilson Road when it was closed because of bear activity.

Citations went to hunters last fall for shooting from within 30 feet of a roads, for pursuing elk in the recently closed Snake River bottoms and for using lead ammunition.

Hunters in one party possessing Wyoming general season elk tags killed a bull outside of their permit area, illegally drove a truck to pick up the meat and then lied and tried to cover their tracks when confronted by rangers. The offense cost the party of Missouri, Michigan and Wyoming hunters thousands of dollars.

Some hunters were in the wrong because they didn’t know where they were. One Jackson resident who killed a trophy bull in northern Grand Teton National Park learned the hard way where the park boundary is along Pacific Creek Road.

“I went in the next morning to retrieve the kill, and my uncle and dad had told me that I was in the park and in the wrong area and I was off by 4-5 miles,” the hunter wrote in a voluntary statement. “We then decided to head in and turn me in at the Buffalo Fork ranger station.”

Documents from one poaching investigation were withheld from the News&Guide in their entirety because the incident is still under investigation, Skaggs said.

Skaggs said it’s hard to say if last year was a representative one for rules violations related to wildlife.

“Every year that I’ve been here it seems like we have a handful of citations relating to poaching incidents,” Skaggs said. “I think that overall it was probably an average for the amount of citations that were issued [hunters], but every year is different.

“I don’t have a sense for you about how many times we issue citations related to people just getting close to wildlife,” she said. “Some years more than others.”

Quaff-off ends chugging contest Colorado’s Quaffstafari take crown for first time in nine years.

By Jason Suder Never before had a foreign team upset local contenders in the annual Gelande Quaffing World Championship.

On March 4, a group of Coloradans clad in the national colors of Jamaica put Wyoming dominance to the test. Armed with beer bongs, water pipes, tiki torches, a trapeze act and a fish bowl, Colorado’s Quaffstafari was set to drink its way into infamy in front of a crowd of booze-infused Teton ski bums. “It should be in the Olympics,� Jackson transplant Mikola Terpylak said.

At 4:20 p.m., the beer dropped.

Since 2008 teams have massed in Teton Village Commons to compete in a beerdrinking contest unlike any other, but its roots date back more than two decades earlier.

Local legend has it that one day in 1986 members of the Jackson Hole Air Force sat stir crazy in the old Bear Claw Cafe. Bartender Johnny Verdon was notorious for sliding beers down the bar, but on that fateful night, his pitch was off and the mug fell off the bar’s end toward an impending party foul. The patron was a respectable goaltender and caught the glass, saving it from the floor. Gelande quaffing was born. “But that’s just local legend,� Jackson native and amateur gelande quaffier Brit Miller said. “This is a legacy that we need to propel into a future.�

During the three-hour tournament, teams squared off

In the final round of the Gelande Quaffing World Championship on March 4, Storm Show’s team set its table on fire for added style. Gelande quaffing is a Jackson Hole drinking game where players catch sliding beers.

around rectangular tables and slid mugs at each other. The basic rule: When a beer comes crashing down, not only does that team not get any points, but they’ve lost a beverage to drink. That’s just the first round.

Simple, right? Wait until Round 2, when you have to spin 360 degrees before you catch the beer. That’s followed by the freestyle Round 3. Standard acrobatics ensued, with under-leg catches and easy eliminations of amateurs.

Local contenders, like the Hostel’s squad and Storm Show Productions’ team, spent

table and started passing beers through flames, child’s play compared to what Quaffstafari had brewing.

Between tiki torches they threw a purple bong across the table. Chugged. A goldfish bowl with a fish alive inside came next. Chugged. They weren’t even finished when one teammate was suspended on a bar between two others who poured him a beer bong.

The crowning touch came when they slid a beer up a ski, launching it into the air from the tip. It was snagged by team captain Mikey Muscat. “We just changed this sport,� Quaffstafari team member Lil’ Matt Rinehart hollered afterward.

In that final round standard catches count for naught.

Judges gauge each catch on style, granting 1-5 points at their discretion.

When the beer cleared and the crowd settled the emcee took to the mic. “Storm Show, 70 points,� he shouted. “Quaffstafari, 70. It’s a Quaff Off!� “I just drank a whole bottle of champagne,� Rinehart said after celebrating his assumed victory. “I have to do that again?�

In a speed-round death match, all the bravado was reduced to who could drink the most beers. Catching the handle gives more points, but the risk is greater. “Handle, handle, handle,� yelled valley visitor Victoria Capatina. “Storm Show is quicker, but handles!�

For the first time in nine years a non-native team took home the trophy, the glory and the bloodshot eyes. Quaffstafari downed Storm Show by a mere two beers.

he Legislature passed 203 bills before the final gavel Friday — 91 from the Senate and 112 from the House.

Some that passed will have a positive effect on Teton County, and some that failed would have helped many people. In hindsight it seems too much time was spent on bills that had no chance of adoption.

Here are some positives: Teton County maintains its tools to enforce short-term rental housing laws. The state gave clear limits to guide town and county officials without completely usurping local authority.

A law mandates that people passing bicyclists should leave 3 feet of space between vehicle and bike whenever possible. It has no enforcement mechanism, but it’s a start.

The Legislature allotted $240,000 for Central Wyoming College to plan for an expansion of its Jackson campus.

There’s $100,000 available toward construction of a pathway along Moose-Wilson Road.

A silly law demanding a big swatch of neon clothing for bike riders wasn’t taken seriously.

Science standards for schools were accepted.

But there also were serious failures: Medicaid expansion was nixed due to unreasonable fear of financial exposure and sheer dislike of the federal Affordable Care Act. No amount of common sense could nudge those who couldn’t or wouldn’t listen to health care experts and the governor.

Workplace and housing protection for gays and lesbians was rejected. Fairness, equality and compassion aside, if the state wants corporations such as Microsoft to expand in Wyoming, why put out messages like this?

Time spent on nonstarter bills like guns in schools and public places and about taking over federal lands was shameful. The Legislature had only 40 days, and those two bills used up many hours before their predictable flameouts.

A bill to let Snow King and other resorts within towns form districts so they could tax sales to fund improvements didn’t meet the deadline.

Legislators will be back next year, but only for a 20-day budget session, so it won’t be until 2017 before most nonbudget items are addressed.

Teton County’s legislative delegation should keep laying the groundwork for advancement of Teton County’s interests and the protection of all Wyoming residents from discrimination and lack of expanded Medicaid health care.

LETTERS Rare pathology Rarely has the pathology of one-party government been granted a more spectacular American showcase than the 2015 Equality State Legislature.

Typically, that permanently conservative and increasingly regressive institution seems to practice a public service code that might be summarized this way: “We, the legislators of Wyoming, remain beholden to those who can make birthright claims to our state’s land and treasures and have accidental family legacy advantages to benefit from them. We will broker our state’s resources to those powerful enough to grab and consume them and distribute the dividends only to ourselves and those corporate interests who are willing to finance our campaigns, but to no one who refuses to respect our intention to systematically engineer a culture of environmental exploitation, legal exclusion and statutory contempt for those who are different — taking particular care this time to leave no one guessing about our agenda by voicing angry hostility towards those we’ve determined are already marginalized and not deserving of equal protection under the law.”

The 2015 session, however, outdid itself living up to that routine promise. You were accorded favor, votes, advocacy and specific deference if you were wealthy, privileged, already insured, heterosexual or a religious bigot or were an energy extractor, a loaded gun, a missile silo or a firing squad. Anyone

or anything else? Not so much. It seemed the unspoken but nevertheless conspicuous motivation for this Legislature’s endeavors was to aggressively invert the mission of enlightened government and instead to strictly “comfort the comfortable and afflict the afflicted.”

I would like to publicly thank the one — and only one — representative from our tentatively (and irrelevantly?) progressive corner of the state, Andy Schwartz, who struggled on every score and with every vote to fight with conviction for the alternative — most especially access to health care for the underserved and the freedom and civil liberties of the unpopular.

My respect is profound for what must be the acute challenges of a very lonely job. I sincerely wish he could anticipate a different political reality with more enlightened company and more inspired possibilities for public service. But since — intractably in Wyoming — “past is prologue,” I fear he will when, and only when (to quote one of his colleagues), “Hell freezes over.”

Trashing Cliff Creek

our wealth of public lands. Wyoming’s wildlife remains abundant and healthy because of it. Hunters, anglers, recreationists and outfitters depend on it. I depend on it. It’s the bedrock of our identity and helps diversify our economy. Sadly, some in our Wyoming Legislature don’t see it that way.

The Legislature passed a bill to study whether the state could take over management of federal public lands. Previously it was “transfer” instead of “management,” so it’s not hard to know that some legislators hope this will lead to transferring our lands. States don’t have the resources for managing these lands and, given their past record, it will lead to restrictions and/or privatization and no trespassing signs.

Our Rep. Ruth Ann Petroff tried to bring some sanity to the discussion by proposing an amendment to determine if the idea is legally feasible before dropping $75K on the study.

Sadly this failed, but thanks for trying. And thanks to her and Rep. Andy Schwartz for voting against the bill.

Our legislators should be looking at ways to increase public access and promote conservation of our valuable lands instead of wasting time and money on this. Another bill (HB165) would have provided access to landlocked public lands through easements from willing private landowners, but it failed to get out of committee. It makes you wonder how some of these legislators claim to represent sportsmen and women.

Contact Gov. Matt Mead (307777-7434 or governor@wyo.gov) and tell him to stand up for what makes America and Wyoming great by vetoing SF56.

“’Bilers crossed moose habitat,” (last week’s cover story) was a weak headline. More like they held a demolition derby; only unfortunately the demolition wasn’t done to each other but to the fragile fauna and flora of Cliff Creek.

The toxins from two-stroke engines are particularly harmful, earning snowmobiles a place at the top of the list of the most environmentally disastrous toys ever produced. It’s another “man-against-nature” thing, and snowmobilers revel in it with mottoes like: “Wilderness — Land of No Use” and “Loud Pipes Save Lives.”

The fact that snowmobiling is already trashing the entire Cliff Creek drainage with heavy use shouldn’t allow Mr. Hoelscher — the BridgerTeton National Forest’s Big Piney district ranger, no less — to take the rules into his own hands. Why, after all, pay any heed to the Environmental Protection Act? Why bother with requirements or protocols designed to protect sensitive winter habitats?

Cliff Creek drains into the Hoback River, a river that earned local fame after supporters successfully fought threats to drill in its headwaters.

The answer as to where to allow practice for the Snow King Hill Climb is — nowhere. And this episode further brings into question the legitimacy of the Hill Climb in the first place, especially with Jackson’s new role as a leader in environmental policies designed to inspire others. It’s only a matter of time before motorized sports (using fossil fuels) become illegal.

Jackson District ranger. — Eds.] I can imagine that you are already receiving a lot of feedback regarding the closing of Cache Creek to dogs for the week of March 18-25. The thing that upsets me is that I know exactly why this is taking place. I walk my dogs up the Cache Creek road every day. I constantly see people being irresponsible pet owners. I have handed numerous people green bags for their dog waste over the years. I have also witnessed numerous wildlife encounters, not only with dogs but also with people. While I understand why this is taking place, I feel that you are unfairly singling out dog owners.

As an avid user of the Cache Creek drainage I have had my fair share of experiences with other trail users. I have nearly been hit by snowmobilers (and my dogs, too), been run over by out-of-control sledders, watched ignorant people approach wildlife, been taken out by people skiing or trying to jump the road, stepped in numerous piles of stinking horse waste and been run over by bikers not using trail etiquette. If you see the need to discipline dog owners for their behavior, why are these other issues not being addressed? Is it just a case of the squeaky wheel getting the grease?

In addition, why is Cache Creek being singled out? If you ever walk over by Emily’s Pond you know that there is dog waste everywhere, not to mention wildlife encounters. I can’t even begin to count the number of times I have watched dogs chase waterfowl over there.

If you would like to manage this area successfully, you need to address all of the issues facing the Cache Creek drainage and the surrounding areas — not just one. Public lands should accommodate all user groups or none of them.

Nonprofits anticipate summer housing woes

MARKET

Human service agencies fear lack of homes will create worker shortages and lapses in service.

 FRESH 

By Emma Breysse At a recent meeting of all the human service agencies in Jackson Hole, Jackson’s housing crisis was not on the agenda.

That was because if it had been there, it would have monopolized the discussion.

Housing is already emerging as the top 2015 concern for Teton County’s human services sector. With roughly two months to go until the summer tourist season kicks off, agencies are bracing — and wincing — at the thought of a repeat of last year’s shortage of affordable places to live.

“The problem happened so much faster than I think any of us anticipated,” Teton Youth and Family Services spokeswoman Sarah Cavallaro said. “We were in a recession and then suddenly we were in the middle of a huge crisis.”

Cavallaro’s agency doesn’t directly address housing concerns as part of its mission. Its trouble is in housing its staff, she said.

“We were just really short-staffed last year because people left, and the people who wanted to work for us to replace them couldn’t find housing,” Cavallaro said. “It’s already happening again this year. We have people leaving, and we can’t replace them.”

Jackson Hole Community Counseling Center has similar woes. Its employees often need specialized degrees and qualifications, the same things that can get them more money in locations with easier housing markets.

Instability affects treatment Executive Director Deidre Ashley expressed concerns about the summer housing market on behalf of her staff and her clients, whose treatment can be greatly disrupted by housing instability.

Where housing is directly a part of the agency’s mission, as with the Community Resource Center, directors are eyeing the calendar askance.

As the summer rush takes hold, Mary Erickson’s options for clients with housing woes narrow drastically, she said.

In the winter hotels will often offer reduced rates for needy valley residents or at least have vacancies. In the summer that isn’t the case. Last year Community Resource Center handed out tents to its clients.

It’s likely Erickson will be in the same boat this year, she said.

“We’re already seeing this crop up

again,” Erickson said. “Rents are going through the roof. People’s leases are running out, and their new rent will be at least $500 higher than it was. When you’re barely getting by that’s not something you can afford.”

With only a few months to plan, it’s unlikely that any of the more creative solutions Erickson and her counterparts have can make a difference this year, she said.

“It’s not even close to an ideal solution for a family, but I think we’ll probably end up handing out tents again,” she said. “There just isn’t anything else.”

With a little luck, Erickson said, donations to the Community Resource Center can help pay move-in costs for some families who end up needing to relocate this summer. Otherwise there isn’t much she can do.

Lawyers provide free advice The Teton County Access to Justice Center hopes its new monthly housing law seminars can make a difference with the types of situations its lawyers end up tackling this summer.

“Part of the reason we wanted to do this now is that we’re hearing from all of our fellow nonprofits that this summer is going to be more of the same,” Executive Director Lauren Browne said. “Right now our housing cases are down, but this is the season when a lot of leases are up and a lot of leases are signed. We definitely anticipate that being a need again.”

Last summer Browne and her fellow lawyers at Access to Justice, which provides free or low-cost legal assistance to qualifying Teton County residents, saw several of their clients battling landlords who either did not know their responsibilities under the law or did not care about them, she said.

The new seminar series is designed to give tenants a few tools in getting security deposits back and dealing with evictions or demands that violate a written lease, she said.

The next seminar is scheduled for March 31.

Every agency concerned takes part in the Systems of Care program, which works as a venue for human services organizations to meet and collaborate, according to statements at the most recent meeting in February. But none of the organizations see a way to do more than try to tread water this year.

“We know there can’t be a solution overnight,” Cavallaro said. “But overnight this will become something that threatens to impact our level of service.

We try to plan for it, but there are only so many solutions without solving the entire issue.”

Delay likely on work to buttress landslide Responsibility debate, search for cash continue as hillside slumps about an inch a month.

By Ben Graham People hoping for a speedy fix for the Budge Drive landslide will have to continue waiting.

Chances are slim the estimated $10 million landslide stabilization project will begin this spring — or even this summer, town leaders said.

The town of Jackson is still negotiating with neighboring property owners, including Walgreens, about the mitigation work and who will pay for what, but no agreements have been reached.

“We’re waiting on a few holdouts, frankly,” Mayor Sara Flitner said.

Last fall officials and citizens worried that spring runoff could cause the slide to speed up again, as it did in spring 2014. Landowners and businesses nearby urged a quick fix.

There was talk about beginning some stabilization project before winter set in, but weather interfered. With funding questions and land agreements still up in the air, the future remains uncertain.

“It’s a very complex situation and we have to navigate it correctly on behalf of the taxpayers of the community,” Town Councilor Jim Stanford said. “You have private property surrounding the road on three sides.”

It’s not as simple as just beginning work, Stanford said: “It’s frustrating.”

Town officials have sought funding help from the state, but have also made it clear that local taxpayers will ultimately be on the hook for much of the

cost of stabilization.

Walgreens’ plan for its property remains unclear. Town officials have said the company has talked about using ground anchors to hold the hillside in place where it towers above the store.

Another option is to abandon the site.

“Walgreens’ intention for the property to me remains a big question mark, nearly a year later,” Stanford said.

A linchpin of the stabilization plan is removing earth from atop the slide, from property owned by the Budge family. The town and the family have yet to reach an agreement. The town still has the option of condemning the property.

The project will be complex, town leaders have cautioned. It involves removing dirt from the top and building buttresses and shear keys at the base.

In the meantime people near the slide are trying to cope.

Business owners in the Hillside Complex have had trouble getting insurance for their building because of the slide.

Town Manager Bob McLaurin wrote a letter stating that the landslide “does not impact” the hillside building.

The ground movement did affect the building’s parking garage, which has been “cut away” from the rest of the building so that its stability doesn’t affect the main structure, McLaurin wrote in the letter.

The slide continues to move about an inch a month, with the most significant movement occurring on the eastern portion, above Walgreens.

The town hopes for help from the Wyoming Department of Transportation and the State Land and Investment Board, but hasn’t received any answers.

Guns won’t be allowed in schools; science may be.

By Jason Suder The 63rd Wyoming legislative session came to a close Friday with few education bills being signed into law by Gov. Matt Mead.

Of the roughly 30 education bills introduced, many proposals failed in committee while others made it through both chambers before being nixed.

Here is a rundown of bills that passed, failed and flamed out.

House Bill 114, Repeal gun-free zones act: This bill would have removed “gun-free zones” around public schools, athletic events and government meetings and allowed holders of concealed-carry permits to bring firearms into these locations. However, courtrooms, jails, bars and churches would have still outlawed concealed weapons.

The Senate introduced a substitute bill that would have given local governing bodies the authority to allow concealed weapons in specific arenas.

Some of state’s new laws will benefit Jackson Hole Legislators look back upon 2015 session.

By Michael Polhamus The Wyoming Legislature’s 2015 session, which ended Friday resulted in several laws of particular interest to Teton County.

That includes legislation that allows uninspected food at farmers markets, a requirement that drivers give cyclists 3 feet of passing room, and a law making Teton County eligible for several millions of dollars to close its landfill.

With the exception of the bike-passing bill, all of the following legislation has been signed by Gov. Matt Mead.

House Bill 85, Motor vehicle passing bicycles: This bill created a new law requiring drivers to give cyclists a 3-foot space when passing. The law carries no penalties for violations, but supporters say it will serve as an educational tool to remind law enforcement officers and new drivers what safety measures are expected from drivers.

The law requires drivers to give that much space when conditions allow.

“I think there are places where it’s going to be difficult for motorists to do it,” Rep. Andy Schwartz, D-Teton County, said, “and I hope enforcement will be at an appropriate level.”

Schwartz and Rep. Ruth Ann Petroff, R-Jackson, along with the remaining three members of Teton County’s state delegation, all voted in favor of the bill.

“It doesn’t do anything, to be honest,” Petroff said, “but I think it’s a good

helped push the bill out of committee onto the House floor, was pleased to see the final iteration of the bill die because, she said, it became about gun control rather than gun freedom.

HB 90, Wyoming student religious liberties act: A House bill introduced to ensure students would not be discriminated against for expressing their religion in schools never made it to the Senate floor. Students would have been protected for expressing religious views in assignments and during school addresses and for worshipping before, during and after school, but legislators felt those rights were already protected by the Bill of Rights.

Some felt the bill opened the door for other forms of discrimination by allowing student to express prejudice against students of a different sexual orientation. Halverson and Sen. Dan Dockstader, R-Afton, sponsored the bill. Reps.

Ruth Ann Petroff, R-Jackson, and Andy Schwartz, D-Jackson, voted against it.

HB 144, School safety and security: This bill, drafted by the Joint Education Committee at the Wort Hotel in December, would have put in place an anonymous tip line for students to report disturbing behavior observed among their peers.

statement to make. It’s a good thing for kids to learn when they’re going to drivers ed.”

HB 112, Capital construction grant eligibility: Jackson is the state’s only municipality with a greater-thanthree-digit-population that isn’t eligible for emergency capital construction grants. This bill would have extended eligibility to Jackson. While the House passed it, the Senate did not even consider it.

The grants this bill addresses come from Wyoming’s lands and investments office, and they are available only to municipalities, counties and special districts that levy a property tax. Jackson doesn’t levy a property tax, since property values are so high and since sales tax receipts are believed to bring revenue to the town more equitably.

Petroff hoped the bill’s passage would clear the way for a grant to help offset costs incurred by the landslide above Walgreens on West Broadway.

“It was one of my major disappointments in the session that [it] didn’t even come to a vote in the Senate,” she said.

“There were some people who didn’t want that bill to get heard, and so it didn’t get heard.”

Petroff said she’d bring a similar bill to the legislature next year.

Senate File 25, Cease and transfer priority list: This bill prioritizes Teton County’s $8.3 million landfill remediation project funding at No. 17 among similar projects in the state.

In practical terms it means the See Laws on 11A

Education Continued from 10A

Schwartz said there were two arguments about the bill. Those in favor of it noted that the bulk of calls received by the current system concern bullying and potential suicide and that there must be a support system in place for these students. However, opponents argued that pushing kids to report on suspicious behavior would have the “Big Brother” effect of conditioning children to become informants.

After passing the House and Senate, the bill was “postponed indefinitely” by a concurrence committee.

HB 23, Next Generation Science Standards: A budgetary footnote banning educators from implementing the Next Generation Science Standards was lifted.

The bill allows spending state funds to consider the science standards that many claim treat climate change and evolution as settled science. Former Rep. Matt Teeters added the footnote in the 2014 session to block the state from adopting a standard that implicates the most prosperous industry in Wyoming — energy.

As initially proposed, the repeal singled out Next Generation, but as approved by the Senate and signed by the governor, the bill allows the state board of education to examine and scrutinize

county for the first time is eligible to receive state funding toward capping its now-unused landfill.

“That was a big deal,” Petroff said.

Although the county’s landfill closure is listed on the bill as costing $8.3 million, the county is eligible for a maximum of 75 percent of that amount.

The funding is not guaranteed, but the county can now apply for it.

SF 1, HB 1, General government appropriations: Two items in this year’s budget are of special interest to Teton County: a $100,000 appropriation for a pathway along MooseWilson Road and $240,000 to design a new Central Wyoming College campus in Jackson.

The CWC funds will be used to plan a campus for the college’s Teton County programs, which include a culinary school and a nursing program.

CWC has operated an outreach campus in Jackson in some form since the 1990s. The culinary arts program has been successful, Petroff said, and has been a boon for residents and restaurants. The nursing program turns county residents into medical professionals in an area where the hospital struggles to keep its nursing staff, she said.

Both programs are near or at capacity, however — the nursing program is

any science standard that promotes excellence in Wyoming.

HB 1 and Senate File 1, External cost adjustment in general government appropriations: Next year’s budget gives a 1.63 percent salary increase to teachers. That will be the first salary boost to offset inflation, called an external cost adjustment, educators have seen since 2009. Based on the average Teton County teacher salary of $66,000, Teton County School District No. 1 Business Manager Matt Rodosky estimates district employees will receive an extra $1,075 next year.

HB 73, State standards: This bill allows educators to review content standards every nine years instead of every five. Trustee Janine Bay Teske noted this relieves the burden on teachers, because there are nine content areas and districts can review one subject per year.

HB 159, Writing assessment: Statewide accountability measures will no longer test students’ writing abilities.

Tests will be administered only in multiple choice formats. Halverson, Sen. Leland Christensen and Dockstader voted against this bill.

HB 198, Compulsory attendance: This bill would have amended the current law that allows students to leave schools at 16 to require all Wyoming youths to attend at least public school until they turn 17. It failed on its third reading in the House. limited by available laboratory space to only eight students a year — and a new campus would alleviate that, Petroff said.

The funds are to be used to design the campus but not to pay for construction.

The entire Teton County delegation lobbied in support of the bill, Schwartz said. Nevertheless he was “kind of surprised it got in.”

Something similar took place regarding the $100,000 allotment for the Moose-Wilson Road pathway.

That item, Schwartz said, “just happened without our input.”

The budget item appropriates $100,000 to build a pathway so long as twice that sum is provided by federal agencies for the same purpose.

HB 56, Wyoming Food Freedom Act: This bill legalizes the sale of raw milk, uninspected eggs and other home-grown foodstuffs at farmers markets.

“Basically this bill says, ‘Buyer beware,’” Schwartz said.

The bill states that “there shall be no licensure, permitting, certification, inspection, packaging or labeling required by any state governmental agency or any agency of any political subdivision of the state which pertains to the preparation, serving, use, consumption or storage of foods or food products under the Wyoming Food Freedom Act.”

County eyes new tool for rental enforcement Ads for short-term residential stays could be used as evidence in court.

By Michael Polhamus County staffers were directed Monday to look into changing county law to allow more streamlined prosecution of homeowners who illegally rent out their homes to tourists for short-term stays.

A proposed amendment to county regulations would allow county officials to take to court homeowners who violate the nearly countywide prohibition against short-term rentals, using advertisements for such rentals as evidence that the homeowner has violated the county ban on renting homes and rooms for fewer than 30 days.

Staffers say enforcement of the short-term rental ban, upheld late last year by town and county officials, has proved challenging.

A recent search of the popular short-term rental websites VRBO.com and HomeAway.com turned up around 1,400 homes listed in the Jackson Hole area, said Teton County code compliance officer Jennifer Anderson.

At least 200 listings “were either definitely violations or possible violations,� Anderson said.

For such large numbers of possible violators, the process the county currently uses as its primary enforcement measure doesn’t work well, she said. It can take months, and after homeowners are notified of a potential violation, Anderson said, “most of the time people will change the VRBO

listings, and so we never moved forward with any abatement.�

The proposed amendment would turn a listing on such a website into evidence that the violation had occurred, said Teton County deputy civil attorney Erin Weisman.

Current regulations allow the county to take violators before 9th Circuit Court Judge James Radda, Weisman said. But Radda has requested that commissioners amend county regulations to allow listings on short-term rental websites to be used as evidence that a violation is occurring.

Once such an amendment is in place, Weisman said, “within two weeks or a month you’d have a violation taken care of.�

Fines already on the books for violations run as high as $750 per day per violation, Anderson said.

Some people commented Monday that they didn’t want their neighbors practicing short-term rentals but also didn’t want to be responsible for turning them in. “I don’t love that I have to be that neighbor,� one man told commissioners before asking for a more proactive enforcement strategy.

Others pleaded with commissioners to reconsider their stance on short-term rentals. One Jacksonite who didn’t attend the meeting said his experiences with renting out a room have been overwhelmingly positive. “It’s a cool take on humanity,� Kyle Fleming said. “You’re giving up your personal space to share it with another person. There’s an added level of respect for our fellow people, to do that.�

Commission advises adding more uses to ‘home business’ zoning regulations.

By Michael Polhamus A Jackson winery won support from county planning commissioners, who recommended Monday that county commissioners amend zoning regulations to allow it to operate on a residential lot in the Dairy Subdivision.

The Jackson Hole Winery, west of the high school, operated with the county’s blessing since 2010 until it was found last year to be in violation of a law prohibiting the use in residential zones.

The winery’s owner, Jackson attorney Bob Schroth, requested an amendment to include wineries as one of six uses allowed as a “home business.”

Planning staff recommended the amendment and said the winery serves as an example of a desirable entrepreneurial effort that should be encouraged to diversify the local economy.

In their staff report, planners said including wineries among home businesses would help reach goals set in the 2012 Jackson/Teton County Comprehensive Plan.

“The proposed amendment provides a mechanism for home businesses to provide a product produced locally for local consumers,” the staff report reads, “helping to provide economic sustainability and circulate money within the community.”

Wineries also bolster the county’s economy without causing further growth, planners said.

“A winery as a home business does

not require additional land development or subdivision, yet may employ up to three persons, reducing our reliance on growth for economic gain,” the staff report states.

Schroth told planning commissioners that he had already secured permits from state and federal agencies and didn’t intend to found the winery in violation of county regulations.

The business is actually run by his two sons, Schroth said, both of whom were raised in Jackson.

“They’re attempting to carve out a niche or a living here in the county,” Schroth said. “It seems like it’s becoming more and more difficult for our kids to do that.”

Home businesses — a term that currently includes offices, studios, schools, contracting businesses and service businesses — are a good way for young residents “to get a foot in the door,” Schroth said. “They’re a great opportunity for young people to get started.”

The winery hasn’t affected the character of the Dairy Subdivision, former homeowners association president Lou Wade told commissioners.

“The only thing that’s changed,” she said, “is it’s wonderful to know we have a winery.” That winery just won six medals, including a gold, at two wine competitions in California.

Planners also recommended county commissioners consider amending home business regulations to allow chocolatiers, coffee roasters, brewers and similar businesses.

The amendment would require home wineries to secure a conditional use permit from the county before operating.

B-T mulls approach to snowmobile plans

By Mike Koshmrl Bridger-Teton National Forest planners are still unsure how they will go about planning to regulate snowmobiles, which are now allowed nearly carte blanche on southern reaches of the forest.

A court-ordered U.S. Forest Service policy formalized late last month requires that all national forest and grasslands, such as the 3.4-millionacre Bridger-Teton, designate areas where snowmobiles and other oversnow vehicles are and are not allowed.

Publicly reviewed winter travel plans that accomplish that feat are in place for two of the Bridger-Teton’s six districts: Jackson and Blackrock.

The Big Piney, Pinedale, Kemmerer and Greys River ranger districts lack acceptable over-snow plans but will soon begin the process for crafting them, forest spokeswoman Mary Cernicek said in an email.

No time frame yet “The other districts ... haven’t done an official winter travel plan,” Cernicek wrote. “We will do one. We just don’t have a time frame yet, and we haven’t determined what that process will look like.”

Off-limits areas to snowmobiles such as Bridger Wilderness and grounds covered by special order do exist on the forest’s southern districts that lack plans, Cernicek wrote.

Almost a decade ago a Forest Service rule required forests to designate where motorized vehicles such as all-terrain vehicles were allowed, but the regulation did not cover oversnow vehicles.

The Forest Service’s new effort to specifically plan for oversnow vehicles was prompted by a lawsuit from the Winter Wildlands Alliance in Boise, Idaho. The group advocates for human-powered winter recreation such as backcountry skiing and snowshoeing.

Mark Menlove, director of the Winter Wildlands Alliance, said many national forests are still grappling with how to comply with the new rule.

“Most of them are trying to figure out how to deal with it,” Menlove said Monday. “There are five forests in northern California moving ahead with full-blown winter travel management plans. Other than that, we don’t know.”

‘Prior designations’ a question “The looming question right now is: What prior designations are going to be able to carry forward in lieu of a new winter travel plan?” he said.

“And that’s something that we don’t know the answer to yet.”

The Californian national forests are preparing environmental impact statements, a lengthy form of public environmental review.

The Forest Service’s national office is developing a “matrix” that will help individual forests determine what they must do to comply with the over-snow rule, Menlove said.

Oversnow vehicle maps will be created for the Bridger-Teton’s southern districts, Cernicek said in the email.

Cernicek did not specify what form of review the Jackson-based forest plans to use, and did not return phone calls for this story.

The Bridger-Teton’s allowance of snowmobiles with few limitations on whole ranger districts is not unique, Menlove said.

PRICE REDUCTION

“It’s not unusual,” he said. “That’s why we’ve been pushing so hard to get this rule in place: to convince the Forest Service as a whole to go in and do analysis.”

“We certainly understand and support some large areas being opened to cross-country winter travel, but it shouldn’t be every place,” Menlove said. “That’s our position.”

Vogelheim visits D.C. to pin down funding

Cora Ligori Connie Jones

A Teton County commissioner who returned from Washington, D.C., last week after having lobbied to maintain $1.8 million in federal funding said that while the money is secured this year it may not remain so.

Commissioner Paul Vogelheim said one of the primary purposes of his trip was to plead for the continuance of the federal payment in lieu of taxes, or PILT, program. The funds are allocated annually to counties that contain federal land to make up for the loss of property and other taxes.

Vogelheim said he hopes to someday persuade federal officials to make the funding permanent. But for now, he said, Wyoming’s congressional delegation assured him that Teton County can expect to see in the 2016 budget cycle the nearly $2 million it has received in the past.

For counties that contain federal lands, Vogelheim said, the PILT program serves as a way “to compensate local communities for the roads, for search and rescue, for law enforcement, fire protection, road maintenance — all those things that communities still need but we’re not able to garner any property tax from the federal government, so this is to offset that.�

Teton County’s top two sources of revenue are sales tax and property tax, Vogelheim said. The third-largest funding source is intergovernmental funding, and PILT is the largest contributor

to the county’s intergovernmental receipts, totaling $1.84 million last year. “It’s a big chunk of our revenues,�

Vogelheim said.

Wyoming’s 23 counties took in a total of $27 million in PILT funds last year. Teton County, with 97 percent of its land owned by the federal government, received the fourth-most of any county in the state.

Vogelheim said he was encouraged to hear U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi, of Wyoming, express continued support for the program. Enzi “has always been a big supporter of funding local governments,�

Vogelheim said. “He told us he would continue to be supportive.�

In a statement Tuesday through his media spokesman Enzi said he “is aware of the importance of funding PILT and is working with his colleagues to address it� in this year’s budget.

But while this year’s PILT funding appears certain, Vogelheim said that is not the case in future years. Federal lawmakers will need to renew funding for the program next year, and they may choose to fund it at less than 100 percent, Vogelheim said. Before 2008 the PILT program was funded at as little as 50 percent, he said. “Both the federal and state revenues are the most volatile and unpredictable right now for us in our budget process,�

Vogelheim said.

Should state or federal funding diminish or dry up, Teton County still has the option of approving an extra cent of sales tax or an extra 2 mills of property tax, he said, “but the desire would be to fight really hard for PILT and a greater share from the state.�

County tops in state for graduation rate Teton nears 96 percent in 2014, up from 2013’s 89.03 percent.

By Jason Suder Teton County’s most recent graduation rate propelled the district to the highest in the state.

Teton County School District No. 1 eclipsed the state average of 78.6 percent by nearly 20 percentage points.

With an average 95.74 percent graduation rate, the district was No. 1 in the state, according to Wyoming Department of Education data released March 4. That marked a 6.71 percentage-point jump over 2013 and a 14.38 percentagepoint gain over 2012.

“Congratulation goes out to everyone in our system and parents for the high rates of student success,” Superintendent Pam Shea said. “It speaks to that throughout our school district graduation is important and it matters to the success of each child.”

The state measures graduation based on cohorts, or groups of students scheduled to graduate in the same four years. Jackson Hole High School graduated 121 of a 123-student cohort, while Summit High School graduated 14 of 18 students, or 77.78 percent, the same year.

Only one other alternative high school in the state had a higher graduation rate than Summit, Principal Beth Auge said. Whiting High School in Laramie graduated 18 of 23 students, or 78.26 percent.

But Summit’s graduation rate is particularly impressive, Auge said, because Teton County has “the

toughest standards in the state for alternative schools.”

Students are required to take math and science courses every year rather than the state’s three-year minimum, Jackson Hole Principal Scott Crisp said.

“Having students engaged in a four-year math and science is the right thing to do so a student doesn’t have a gap in their postsecondary studies,” he said. “Even though our standards were raised, our graduation rates were raised. We want to continue these trends.”

Both schools have witnessed increases in graduation rates in recent years, but these followed significant dips from 2010 to 2012. Jackson Hole High School had a 92.25 percent rate in 2010, then saw 89.61 percent in 2011 and 85.35 percent in 2012.

Crisp attributed the flux to the nowdefunct online learning option Jackson Hole Connections Academy. The county opted out of the program in 2012, but those students are still affecting the cohort, he said.

“We had a negative impact on our graduation rate due to Connections students who simply did not complete the program,” Crisp said.

Summit watched its graduation rate fluctuate from 100 percent in 2010 to 75 percent in 2011 and 50 percent in 2012.

“We lost a lot of kids to state-ordered facilities,” Auge said, “and we don’t have any control over that.”

Auge anticipates a high number of kids graduating this spring.

“We have up to 23 possible kids walking,” she said. “It looks really good. I would be surprised if it went down.”

Scarlett gets UW seat, replacing Brad Mead Former bank president graduated from College of Business in 1964.

By Jason Suder As his brother Brad Mead’s term expired, Gov. Matt Mead named Wilson’s Dick Scarlett a new trustee of the University of Wyoming.

Five new trustees were appointed by the governor and approved by the state Senate on Thursday.

Scarlett is a 1964 graduate of the UW College of Business who later served on its advisory board for 20 years.

There is also a Cowboy legacy in his family: UW is the alma mater of Scarlett’s wife, son and various in-laws.

When the governor asked him to join the board at the end of February, Scarlett told the News&Guide, he accepted enthusiastically, hoping to contribute to the budget committee and help prepare students for Wyoming jobs. “The crown jewel for the state of Wyoming is the university,� he said. “We should take every advantage to promote it and educate Wyoming kids and make jobs available for them back in the state.�

While most trustees serve two sixyear terms, to Brad Mead’s consternation the governor could not reappoint him. Brad Mead was appointed by his brother’s predecessor, and state law forbids the governor from appointing a family member. “It was an amazing experience,� Brad Mead said. “The university has just got such amazing potential right now.�

Throughout his term Mead helped the university make strides in equality and equity, he said.

“I’m proud to say I voted for giving benefits to nontraditional spouses of faculty,� he said. “It was a one-vote margin.�

Mead also worked to diversify UW’s academic focus from being purely energy based, helping form the Endowment Chairs Initiative to create 100 endowed professorships in many disciplines. “I think there is a concern that emphasizing energy to the exclusion of other disciplines could create a kind of tunnel vision,� he said.

There are big challenges for trustees, he said, including contention between their board and the Legislature.

For instance, in 2012 UW removed a controversial public artwork critical of the energy industry’s effect on the enScarlett vironment. “It ended up being politicized in a way that didn’t help the energy industry or the university,� Mead said. “At a university you are going to have and should have differing opinions on political and social issues. You are doing a disservice by trying to squash it. “The university,� he said, “has to be and is a moral compass, and it should have the luxury of being somewhat divorced from political expediency.�

Twelve trustees sit for staggered sixyear terms with nonvoting ex officio members including the governor, the president of the university, the superintendent of public instruction and the student body president.

By Emma Breysse Starting this summer the state’s rules for all search warrants will match those allowed in DUI cases for the past three years and by Supreme Court decisions for two years.

The Wyoming Supreme Court recently adopted amendments to the state’s rules of criminal procedure that explicitly authorize judges to issue warrants over the phone.

The amendment, adopted last month, includes a section that states an officer’s testimony in support of a search warrant can be “communicated by telephone or other reliable electronic means� rather than only in writing or in person.

The new rules also state that a judge “may wholly or partially dispense with a written affidavit and base a warrant on recorded sworn testimony, which record shall be preserved as if in writing.�

Telephone and email warrants have been allowed in Wyoming DUI cases since 2012, under a law sponsored by former state Rep. Keith Gingery intended to keep suspects from withholding blood, breath or urine samples in an attempt to avoid prosecution.

Gingery, now a school board trustee with Teton County School District No. 1, campaigned for the law to allow police to contact a judge remotely to obtain a warrant for those kinds of evidence in DUI cases.

The state’s rules of criminal procedure clarify what processes law enforcement, judges and criminal attorneys must follow in criminal cases in Wyoming. But as the rules note, where a statute and a rule appear to conflict the statute wins the day.

A 2013 ruling by the state’s high court in which two Jackson attorneys challenged their clients’ DUI convictions under Gingery’s law established much the same things as the new rules.

In that case Christopher Leigh and Richard Stout claimed that the telephoned search warrants officers used to collect evidence of their clients’ blood alcohol levels were not leSee PHONE on 20A

A Jackson man denied charges that he tried to choke his girlfriend when she attempted to break up with him last month.

Todd Douglus Conder, 24, pleaded not guilty last week at his arraignment hearing in 9th District Court to a charge of strangulation of a household member. His trial is scheduled for July.

Conder also faces a misdemeanor domestic battery charge, which he also denied.

He remained in the Teton County Jail under maximum security as of Monday.

The charges are based on his girlfriend’s report that the couple got into an argument after Conder she suggested they break up and asked him to move out of the motel room the two share in south Jackson.

During the argument Conder allegedly hit her several times, then threw her to the ground and began choking her, court files state.

Conder claimed that he “blacked out� and came to with his hands around his girlfriend’s neck, according to police.

If he is found guilty he faces up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine on the felony strangulation charge and an additional six months in prison and $750 fine on the misdemeanor domestic battery charge.

gal because information given over the phone did not meet the state’s requirements to obtain a warrant.

Leigh and Stout claimed that both the rules of criminal procedure and the Wyoming Constitution required warrants to be supported by sworn testimony in affidavits, which the two contended had to be in written form.

After oral arguments justices ruled that allowing recorded spoken testimony was in the same spirit as the original law, and in fact allowed police to keep pace with modern advances in technology.

At that time the justices’ statements were talking only about DUI laws, but the new amendments expand those adjustments to apply to all matters of search and seizure in Wyoming.

The amendments were adopted in February but will not become effective until July 1, according to the official posting of the approved amendments by the Supreme Court.

grouse group wants county input

Continued from cover

National Park near Uhl Hill.

Current protection for grouse provided by “general range” habitat such as that in the Gros Ventre, Hoback and elsewhere are “pretty weak,” Bohne said.

“They’re essentially what the BLM had in place that failed miserably for the last whatever years, before the core area policy,” he said.

A Bridger-Teton National Forest official at the meeting agreed to recommend changing the sage grouse designation in the Gros Ventre — but preferred to switch it to “connectivity” habitat, rather than core range. No other member of the working group spoke against Bohne’s proposal.

A connectivity designation — which is in place in the Powder River Basin, but so far not in western Wyoming — caps the level of disturbance on the land at 5 percent, Game and Fish sage grouse program coordinator Tom Christensen told the group.

Core grouse habitat in Wyoming allows no more than the 5 percent disturbance, and it also prohibits more than an average of one well pad per 640-acre section. The two designations share some restrictions, such as allowing no disturbance within 0.6 miles of a lek.

In the Snake River basin, sage grouse core areas exists primarily in the heart of Jackson Hole in the sagebrush-dominated terrain of Grand Teton National Park and the National Elk Refuge.

Feds also eyeing revisions A higher level of protection in the Gros Ventre could influence activity such as a road construction, controlled burns or a mining claim, Bohne said in an interview.

Bridger-Teton biologist Gary Hanvey said at the meeting that higher-ups in the forest were not comfortable with there being core grouse range in the Gros Ventre.

“They’re not really prepared at this point to promote it to core,” Han-

The Upper Snake River Basin Sage Grouse Working Group would like Teton County to play a role in managing and planning for sage grouse in Jackson Hole, said Armond Acri, who chairs the group.

“There are some issues on private land, and we’re still trying to educate them on the value of sagebrush,” Acri said. “We’re trying to educate them, and we haven’t been able to do that.”

Teton County’s Comprehensive Plan prioritizes riparian areas when it comes to convey said. “The biological reasons Joe [Bohne] presented, I tend to agree with that, but I’m not a line officer, and I’m not here to represent myself.”

At the same time state-level revisions to sage grouse core areas are being made, federal agencies are also modifying management plans that will evaluate sage grouse conservation measures on the Bridger-Teton and Medicine Bow national forests, Thunder Basin National Grassland and 11 million acres of Bureau of Land Management property in Wyoming.

Through that process, which includes an environmental impact statement, the agencies are considering the Gros Ventre as connectivityhabitat, Hanvey said.

Wyoming is a stronghold for sage grouse, but only about 1 percent of the state’s birds are believed to reside in Jackson Hole, the Gros Ventre valley, Hoback basin and the Salt River drainage. The Upper Snake working group, one of eight such groups in the state, is assigned to make recommendations for the most genetically isolated population of Wyoming grouse.

The groups were devised originally to help preclude the need for listing sage grouse under the Endangered Species Act. “This effort implies a land management philosophy based on no net loss of sagebrush habitats, and it requires further work to determine factors which may be limiting these populations and a commitment to effectively

Should he return to his mother’s home, even if he is acquitted of the charge, he cannot be alone with any of the children in the day care and “cannot participate in the care of children in any manner” if the day care is to keep its license.

ABC Kids also must undergo a full inspection by the state within one month of the date of the agreement and must submit to random unannounced compliance checks at any point, along

ameliorate those limiting factors,” the goals and objectives in the working group’s conservation plan reads.

“It would be unacceptable from a local, state, and national perspective to lose the population of sage grouse in Jackson Hole that lives in Grand Teton National Park and the National Elk Refuge,” the group’s conservation plan said. “It may be more problematic to retain the other three populations because they are so small.”

Genetic mingling limited Genetic research has found that sage grouse move from Jackson into the Gros Ventre, but not the other way, Bohne said.

There are only two breeding grounds — one primary lek and one satellite lek — in the Gros Ventre.

Combined they are used by less than 30 male grouse. The Gros Ventre population generally does not venture west of Slate Creek, research has found.

There’s been little study of two other small subpopulations of sage grouse in the Snake River basin. Both breed outside of core habitat.

All but one member of the working group — biologist Aly Courtemanch, representing the Wyoming Game and Fish Department — recommended designating Clark Draw south of Bondurant as core range. The small migratory population found there winters near Big Piney and potentially mixes and exchanges genes with sage

with submitting full staff attendance records to the state at the end of each month, according to the text of the agreement.

Dyess also must notify the state of any new household members or day care staff.

She will lose her license without the right of appeal for at least one year should she violate any of the terms.

If her son is acquitted or removed to juvenile court, the agreement stipulates that the two parties will revisit the document at that time.

Dyess’ son’s attorneys are seeking to have his case diverted to the juvenile justice system, which would make the remainder of the proceedings confidential by law.

Teton County Prosecutor Steve Weichman has stated in court documents that he “strongly opposes” moving the case to juvenile court but did not state his reasons for opposition.

Judge Timothy Day will hold a hearing Friday

serving open spaces, he said, but puts little emphasis on sagebrush-dominated habitats.

Departed commissioner Hank Phibbs is listed as a working group member in the working group’s conservation plan, but was never an active participant, Acri said. Emails to try to gather interest from current commissioners have not received responses, he said.

“Sagebrush has value, and we would at least like them to be leaders to the community and not spread this message that sagebrush has no value,” Acri said.

grouse in the larger Upper Green River drainage. One lek with about 15 males has been confirmed in the area, and another is suspected.

Courtemanch explained why the state was not on board for designating Clark Draw as core area grouse range.

“I think it’s easy for us to sit in the room and say, ‘Yeah, let’s throw it in,’” Courtemanch said. “I question if it’s really a critical area that we need to encompass into the core area, at the expense of adding a lot of restrictions.”

Private land owners could be affected, she said, as could vegetation projects intended to aid mule deer and moose.

There was some discussion about designating unoccupied conifer lands that could provide a conduit for gene flow between the Gros Ventre and Green River drainages, but the group decided to not recommend any changes.

No change for Star Valley Another small, sparsely studied sage grouse population with a “suspected lek” along the Idaho border southwest of Afton fell into the same category. The Star Valley grouse habitat was discussed, but not recommended as a new core area.

“At this point and time, I don’t think you could map it as core area,” Bohne told the working group. “However, I would encourage the Forest Service to do whatever the hell they can to protect those birds on their own.”

The Star Valley sage grouse habitat is accessed mostly through private land and borders Idaho land that’s occupied by sage grouse, but not highly protected.

Recommendations from local grouse working groups will go to the Sage Grouse Implementation Team, which requested the proposed changes to the core areas.

Gov. Matt Mead has the final say on any changes, Christensen said.

“Ultimately the governor is the decider,” he said. “Everything is a recommendation until it comes to him.”

The 15-year-old defendant has yet to enter a plea on the charges and will not until Day determines which court will hear the case, according to court files.

Police began investigating the girl’s statements after her parents brought her into St. John’s Medical Center for a sexual assault exam. Their actions were prompted by the girl’s statements regarding Dyess’ son, which she repeated to the hospital’s sexual assault nurse examiner.

The examination showed evidence supporting her statements, court files state.

Should the boy be found or plead guilty, he faces a minimum sentence of two years in prison.

The maximum sentence for second-degree sexual assault is 20 years in prison.

Zoning

Continued from cover

will be addressed.

“The one thing I’ve been hearing pretty consistently from the community is reining in some of the commercial potential and reducing the size of the lodging overlay as it’s currently proposed,” Councilor Jim Stanford said.

Exactly what that will look like remains to be seen.

Planners have given the council several options.

One is called a “twotiered floor-area ratio” system, according to a town staff report. It would essentially allow developers to build taller, bulkier buildings if a “clearly identified favored use” is created, such as housing.

Planners also have offered the option of limiting or prohibiting altogether certain “disfavored” uses in some areas of town.

That concept was presented in a previous version of the zoning, when an entire zoning district — what is now known as the TN-4 Residential MixedUse zone — was proposed to be fully dedicated to housing. The Town Council decided more than a year ago to change the zoning to allow some commercial uses, although some have already talked about reviewing that decision.

Those ideas have already received some backing. The Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance sent a strongly worded letter to the town on Tuesday urging officials to consider those options and pull back on downtown zoning in general, among other things.

“Much of the new commercial development will generate new low-wage jobs, which will need new

Proposed zoning for Jackson’s core divides downtown into five districts and drastically increases the potential for commercial density, which has some elected officials uneasy. Town leaders said that when they meet Thursday for their first hearing on the new zoning they will look at scaling back that potential.

low-wage employees, who will need additional affordable housing units,” the alliance’s community planning director, Mary Gibson, wrote. “In short, the proposed [district 2] LDRs will greatly exacerbate our workforce housing shortage, sending many more of our workers over the pass to Idaho and down the canyon to Alpine and Star Valley.

This is unacceptable. We can and must do better.”

The town should conduct an analysis to see exactly what kind of development regulations would make workforce housing viable, the letter stated. A documented need for more commercial capacity should also

be presented before more of it is allowed, it said.

The letter follows a newsletter sent last week from the organization’s executive director, Craig Benjamin, titled “Don’t Let Jackson Become Vail.” In it he argues that Vail is a resort and not a community first, in large part because of land-use rules that encouraged commercial development and lodging over housing for the workforce.

Still others have contended that the build-out numbers are nothing to fear. The estimate of additional new commercial development potential is based on 100 percent build-out, which some say is unlikely.

Meanwhile, elected officials will also have to listen to the requests of individual landowners, many of who have been lobbying town councilors to change the zoning of their properties.

Of the two dozen public comments included with the staff report for Thursday’s meeting, about half are letters and emails from property owners with specific requests, such as adding their land to commercial or lodging zones. Property owners have been emailing town councilors to set up meetings to talk about their requests.

Flitner said there will have to be a balance between coming up with land

rules that allow for a vibrant commercial area downtown while also keeping Jackson a place that working people can live.

At times it will come down to telling people no.

“You have to make the hard decisions,” Councilor Hailey Morton Levinson said. “I haven’t necessarily made my final decision on where the lines fall, but that’s what I’m looking forward to in these discussions.”

Eight people, some speaking on behalf of organizations and others for themselves, submitted comments to the town that were attached to the staff report.

A few more sent emails to town officials in the past week.

Resident Kelly Stirn perhaps most bluntly summed up the concerns of many: “Where the heck do you propose we house all the employees for this increase in commercial space?” he wrote in a March 9 email.

The council must also decide exactly how important workforce housing should be in downtown zoning.

Known as “district 2” in the Jackson/Teton County Comprehensive Plan, the downtown district is just the first of several districts that will be rezoned by the town and county. Some have argued that housing could be better addressed in other parts of town.

Another question that remains is exactly how upzoning in town will be related to downzoning in the county. Any additional dwelling units that are allowed have to be offset by the removal of residential potential elsewhere.

JACKSON HOLE NEWS&GUIDE, Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 23A

Blotter ■ Make like an ostrich: A 19-year-old Jackson woman seemed to take her police-evasion tips from an African aviary. In spite of her clever hiding spot in “a corner near the bathroom,” police still spotted her in time to check her ID at a party Friday. The officers received a noise complaint about the party at a downtown hotel. When they arrived, they noticed several alcohol containers around and counted 11 people, all of whom seemed on the young side to be drinking. When the officers rounded up IDs, they found they had only 10 and quickly located the 11th partygoer hiding in the corner. Her ID showed she was under 21, and she blew a 0.11 on a portable breath test. Police cited her with being a minor under the influence and strongly recommended that the others, who were of age, shut the party down.

■ Long walk home: You can’t walk home if you can’t really walk, but that didn’t stop a 39-year-old Jackson man from trying to get across town on foot after a night of drinking. Passersby called police to report a man lying on the sidewalk near a busy south Jackson intersection. When police arrived, they saw he was trying to rise and he told them he had fallen down.

He explained that he lived in a south Jackson apartment complex and was trying to walk home. He still had quite a ways to go and could barely walk as it was. Medics arrived to determine whether he had injured himself while falling and found that his disorientation and lack of verbal ability was due to a few too many drinks.

At that point, the officers decided he could not be trusted to walk home, or indeed through the intersection, and took him to jail on a charge of public intoxication.

■ Ogres have layers: If you’re

going to compare a fellow bar patron to an ogre, best make sure the man doesn’t throw people out of bars for a living. A customer at a downtown pizza restaurant and bar escaped most of the consequences of that lesson, but a nearby window was less lucky.

A bouncer at a downtown bar ducked in for a post-work slice when another patron cut in front of him. When the bouncer objected, the man called him “Shrek” and seemed to feel that was that. The bouncer disagreed and suggested they continue discussing the cinema of the early 2000s outside.

Each threw punches, then the namecaller pushed the bouncer through a nearby barber shop window. A passer-by called police. The bouncer explained that he had left a message with the pizza place’s restaurant for the barber shop owner offering to pay to repair the window. The total damage came with a $500 price tag. So far neither combatant has been charged with a crime.

■ Taking two trips: A Victor, Idaho, woman did enough Jackson grocery shopping to need two trips to her car, but she should have included at least one trip to the cash register.

Store employees noticed her when they saw her leave with a bag bulging full, then return a few minutes later with the same bag nearly empty. They stopped her on her way out again and found five items she hadn’t paid for in her bag. A search of her car turned up several other items, including granola, coffee, tea and butcher knives. All total, she stole $206 worth of groceries and other merchandise from the south Jackson store. Police cited her with shoplifting.

The Jackson Police Department and Teton County Sheriff ’s Office received 806 calls for service between March 2 and March 8.

Covered in floral-print Salomon gear and topped with a heartstickered helmet, Eloise Schreiber took a stab at the big one.

Almost 35 years to the day after her father, Matt Schreiber, became one of the youngest people to ever ski from the Aerial Tram at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, 3-year-old Eloise cut and carved her way down Rendezvous Bowl.

Eric and Inez Bass lead caregivers and families of dementia patients through a free, one-hour TimeSlips workshop at Teton County Library on March 3. TimeSlips was developed in 1996 by Anne Basting, who wondered if improvisation and creative drama techniques might prove helpful for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Creative conversations When memory struggles, TimeSlips process helps it awaken.

ementia can cause folks to forget fragments of their lives. The frustration begets fear; the fear begets more fading.

A creative storytelling program called TimeSlips aims to improve the lives of those with memory loss through a process of creative engagement.

TimeSlips was developed in 1996

by Anne Basting, who wondered if improvisation and creative drama techniques might prove helpful for people with forms of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease.

What Basting came up with was a workshop based upon shifting the emphasis from memory to imagination. The objective is to increase the quality and quantity of interaction between staff at long-term care centers and their residents with memory loss.

On March 3, Eric Bass and his wife, Inez — actors and co-artistic directors of Sandglass Theater in Brattleboro, Vermont — led dozens of valley community caregivers and families of dementia patients through a free, one-hour TimeSlips workshop at both Teton County Library and the Senior Center of Jackson Hole.

The theater troupe was in town to perform its poignant look at dementia sufferers through the original, puppetry-based performance of “D-Generation: An Exaltation of

Larks.” The show was presented the Basses handing out a black-andFriday and Saturday at the Center white photograph to each person in for the Arts. attendance, a photo from which a “TimeSlips is a method of creat- story would be created.

question asked is that it is a more open-ended way of getting a patient to respond, Eric Bass said.

“Dementia patients are constantly being asked to remember and answer questions they can’t answer,” he told the group. “‘Do you remember?’ is not the right question for these patients.”

“There is no question that has the right answer, and that is what is stressed to the patients during this storytelling process,” Inez Bass said. “There is no wrong answer and they begin to sense that.”

TimeSlips accesses the part of the brain where imagination and creativity reside, Eric Bass said.

“When you are in a circle of people in this condition, with staff and family members involved, it is wonderful to see the family learn what is still there, what memories remain.”

Eric Bass said that anyone can get trained as a facilitator online at TimeSlips.org for a nominal fee.

“It was really good information for caregivers,” Taylor said of the workshop. “ I think I would like to keep the TimeSlips workshop going at the Senior Center with our clients and make up our own stories.”

Carol Taylor, who co-founded a Jackson Hole eldercare advisor/geriatric care management service, was an attendee at the library’s afternoon session. She said it was important for her to be at the workshop and learn how to better interact with her clients.

“The voice of those with dementia needs to be heard,” she said.

Maude isn’t demanding Our pet of the week is Maude. She was live-trapped with one of her kittens, who has since been adopted. She was scared when she first came to us, but has really opened up. She loves to get attention but is not demanding.

She would make an excellent indoor/ outdoor mouser with her great manners and sense of independence.

There are many dogs and cats available for adoption at the Jackson/Teton County Animal Shelter, located on Adams Canyon Road south of Jackson.

Adoption fees are $45 for dogs and $30 for cats. Call 733-2139 for information, or stop by the shelter. Hours 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Or peruse the pets online at JacksonShelter.

leash until he is 100 percent reliable when practicing “leave it” to prevent failure.

Once your dog thinks backing off exciting stuff is always in his best interest, you will gradually fade the food reward, and replace it with praise, toys and other fun.

There are a couple of circumstances where “leave it” may seem applicable but is not. One example is if your dog is after your meals.

You are better off having your dog go lay down or using a tether or leash to keep him away from the dining room table than to repeatedly ask him to “leave it.” This is because you never want to interrupt an undesirable behavior (like stealing your dinner) to prompt a rewardable behavior (like “leave it”).

If you use a “leave it” with a dog trying to steal food, he will learn that trying to steal food will ultimately get him a reward, and so he will keep trying to do so. Yes, dogs are that clever. Instead of telling your dog to “leave it” when he’s after your dinner, have him go lie down nearby and give him something to do before you even start the meal.

In the same vein, do not use “leave it” with dogs who regularly pester resident felines. Again, you never want to interrupt an undesirable behavior (like bugging the cat) to prompt a rewardable behavior (like “leave it”). Instead, you will want to teach the dog that ignoring the cat altogether is the way to get rewarded.

Have fun training.

Right now, however, it’s all about the King.

Herron joined Snow King in October. The business is rapidly changing, adding a mountain coaster and new amenities as it works through the process of expanding a ski lift across U.S. Forest Service property.

She arrived at the time longtime leader Manuel Lopez stepped down for health reasons and longtime Snow King investor Max Chapman stepped in with a capital infusion and a plan that the Town Council backed for rapid expansion.

On a learning curve Herron admits she’s still learning her way but is committed to the business, which needs new revenue to stay profitable.

No novice to snow and deep winters, she still experienced some twists — like the first time she participated in a deadfall day.

She said that’s when fallen trees are cleared and safety work is performed on the mountain.

Loose and falling rocks can be deadly, and everyone uses care while working to improve the area, she said. It impressed upon the flatlander “how dangerous the alpine environment can be.”

“The reality is we live in an environment where the consequences can be very high if you’re not prepared,” she said.

Herron said she looks forward to meeting more people in the community and working with Snow King General Manager Ryan Stanley to see that the King stays king into the future.

She said the resort has “a lot of moving parts.”

“VertFest was my huge baby,” Herron said of the recent ski event held on what her LinkedIn page calls “the steepest little mountain in the country.”

“I feel really lucky just to live in a place like this,” she said as the interview ended and she reached for an impressive fur winter hat.

After 20 years the Jackson Hole Ski Area was still struggling for survival. Development had been at a standstill since 1978, and the previous winter’s 181,000 skier days were far below the 330,000 projected in the 1981 master plan. Ski Corp. Chairman Paul McCollister said improvements at the area were needed so that “I don’t get criticism for my shabby mountain and primitive restrooms.” ...

To apologize effectively you should do the following: s !CCEPT RESPONSIBILITY "E SPECIlC regarding the behavior and the harm it caused. s 3HOW GENUINE REMORSE AND INTENT to avoid making the same mistake again. s /FFER AN EXPLANATION IF APPROPRIATE s -AKE THE REPAIR lGURE OUT WHAT can be done.

Just as important on the flip side is the acceptance of an apology, especially if it is in a gracious and sincere form without insult, shame or humiliation attached. Accepting an apology and the repair can reduce the chance of resentments building up and causing damage to the relationship.

Forgiveness is another important component of emotional competence.

The general definition of forgiveness is making a conscious decision to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge. The incident that caused the hurt or offended you might not be forgotten, but forgiveness can enable you to let go of the suffering. That allows you to move on and focus on more positive aspects of your life. Forgiveness can turn to understanding, empathy and compassion for the offender.

PASSIONATE

Many people hold on to the resentment because they feel that if the behavior is forgiven it is seen as acceptable. Forgiving a person doesn’t mean you are saying the other person is not responsible for the hurtful behavior.

Nor does it minimize or justify the harmful behavior. It is possible to forgive the person without excusing the act. Forgiveness can allow you to let go of the toxic feelings and help you move on.

What are the benefits of forgiving someone? Letting go of resentment, grudges or bitterness can allow productive energy. Forgiveness can lead to healthier relationships, greater psychological well-being, better physical health, a decreased incidence of depression, higher self-esteem and less anxiety, stress and hostility.

Holding on to anger or resentment does not validate the offender’s responsibility. It only prolongs your own SUFFERING !S THE "UDDHA SAID h(OLDing on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.�

Ecowatch Forest plans controlled burns The Shoshone National Forest plans several prescribed fire projects on the southern half of the forest.

One is a 500-acre burn in the Long Creek drainage west of Dubois, along Highway 26/287. Southwest of Lander, in Maxon Basin, the Shoshone plans a 1,100-acre burn. And along Louis Lake Road near the Middle Fork of the Popo Agie River, a 55acre burn is planned.

The prescribed fire projects are intended to enhance aspen regeneration and improve forage for wildlife.

“These projects will also help reduce hazardous fuels, thus decreasing the intensity of any future wildfires in the area,” a news release said.

The projects typically start midMarch and end in mid- to late June.

They are scheduled as weather and fuel conditions allow.

Parks seek horseback bids The National Park Service is looking for proposals from companies wanting to lead guided horseback rides in Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks.

A single 10-year contract is on the table in Grand Teton, although outside companies face long odds to win the opportunity because of a preference the Park Service gives to the current contract holder, Gros Ventre River Ranch.

For the prospectuses go online to Concessions.nps.gov/prospectuses.htm.

Offers are being accepted through Tuesday for Yellowstone contracts and through March 31 for Teton park’s lone permit. Interested individuals and companies should inform the Park’s Service’s Paula Bauer by phone at 303-969-2666, or via email at Paula_Bauer@nps.gov.

BLM seeks thoughts on roundup The Bureau of Land Management’s Rawlins and Lander Field offices are looking for public comments on a pro-

posed wild horse roundup in the Red Desert Herd Management Area.

The operation would involve rounding up wild horses, giving fertility control vaccines to all mares that are to be released and removing horses that have moved outside the herd management areas, a BLM statement said.

“Mares will be treated with the fertility control to slow reproduction rates, maintain population size within the [range], and to extend the time period between gather operations,” the statement said.

The BLM plans to study the horse gathering using an environmental assessment.

Comments will be “most useful”

The Yellowstone-Teton Clean Energy Coalition will hold four workshops on alternative fuels this spring, including an all-day training session in Jackson Hole.

The Jackson workshop will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 21 at the Jackson Hole Community School.

The workshop is free. The curriculum will cover topics ranging from how vehicles work to energy conservation to biodiesel production.

Contact Christy Lewis with any questions at christy@ytcleanenergy. org, or 303-483-8207.

Hunt meeting scheduled

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s annual season setting meeting for big game hunts in the Jackson Hole areas has been scheduled for March 26.

The meeting will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Antler Inn. Game and Fish biologists and managers will present hunting season proposals for local herds of bison, moose, deer, bighorn sheep and mountain goats. The meeting will include opportunities for members of the public to comment.

People Scott Eastman will take over as principal of Davey Jackson Elementary School when Deb Roehrkasse retires at the end of the school year.

Eastman has worked closely with Roehrkasse since becoming the school’s assistant principal in the fall of 2013. Roehrkasse said his deep caring for children is his greatest strength.

Eastman came into the district in 2009, starting as a mentor in the district-sponsored Teton Mentor Project and then taking the job of Jackson Hole Middle School assistant principal.

He discovered his love of childhood instruction while applying to medical schools following his 1997 graduation from the University of Virginia.

He changed his trajectory to focusing on education.

Roehrkasse said she is ready to travel as much as possible and already has major trips scheduled.

She will then take some downtime before planning her future steps. s Jackson resident Ryan Zalta made the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh’s Dean’s List for the fall semester. Students qualify by earning a GPA of 3.75 or higher. s Part-time Jackson Hole resident Terry Tempest Williams will speak at Unity College in Maine during the May 9 commencement.

Scott Eastman, assistant principal at Davey Jackson Elementary School since the fall of 2013, will take over as principal when Deb Roehrkasse retires at the end of the school year.

Williams is an author, naturalist and free-speech advocate who has argued that environmental issues are social issues that ultimately become matters of justice.

She wrote “Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place” as well as “An Unspoken Hunger: Stories from the Field,” “Desert Quartet;”

“Leap,” “Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert,” “The Open Space of Democracy” and “Finding Beauty in a Broken World.” She is a columnist for the magazine The Progressive.

Williams is working on a new book, “My God Has Feet of Earth: Seven Pilgrimages in Seven National Parks.” It’s set to be published this fall by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

Unity College President Stephen Mulkey said Williams “is someone who has used her gift with words to power a new generation of leaders in land conservation.”

In 2009, Williams was featured in Ken Burns’ PBS series on the national parks. In 2014, on the 50th Anniversary of the Wilderness Act, she received the Sierra Club’s John Muir Award honoring a distinguished record of leadership in American conservation.

In 2006, Williams received the Robert Marshall Award from the Wilderness Society, its highest honor given to an American citizen. She also received the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Western American Literature Association and the Wallace Stegner Award given by the Center for the American West. She is the recipient of a Lannan Literary Fellowship and a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in creative nonfiction.

Valley Breeze Mental health support available A support group has formed for people in the community who have friends or family members with mental health challenges.

The group will meet at 6 p.m.

Thursday in the Eagle classroom at St. John’s Medical Center.

The Jackson Hole Community Counseling Center is organizing the support group.

“For many individuals it can be both helpful and healing to be afforded space where your needs and concerns can be shared with others who understand your journey,” said Mark Houser of the counseling center. “This can better prepare individuals to care for a family member or friend who has a mental illness.

“It is often comforting to know you are not alone and that there are others who can offer mutual support.

The turnout for our first meeting in February indicates a strong interest and need for a group of this type,”

Houser said.

Other benefits of the support group include embracing a sense of empowerment, reducing anxiety and distress and being able to talk honestly about your feelings, Houser said.

Starting in April, the group will meet at 6 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month in the board room of St. John’s Medical Center.

For information contact Houser at 732-1161 or mhouser@jhccc.org.

Food safety courses set On March 17 the Environmental Health department of Teton County Public Health will offer food safety certification classes at the 4-H Building. As of Jan. 1 all food service establishments in Teton County are required to have at least one certified manager on staff.

The Servsafe Managers Certification course is a convenient way for businesses to fulfill the requirement.

It will be offered for $99 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and a Servsafe Basic Food

Safety Training and Certification course for Spanish speakers will be offered from 8 a.m. to noon for $20.

Participants can preregister with checks or cash at the 4-H Building, 255 W. Deloney Ave., or pay by credit card by calling the University of WY Extension Office at 733-3087.

For information on the food safety requirement, visit TetonWyo.org/ ph/topics/basic-food-safety-education/252405/.

Refuge creates critter bracket Beginning Tuesday the National Elk Refuge will host the March Mayhem Wildlife Tournament, a wildlife popularity poll that uses tournamentstyle brackets and playoffs similar to the NCAA’s March Madness Division 1 basketball tournament. Two contests will begin every other day at 9 a.m., culminating with the championship match-up on March 31.

The winner of the animal pairings, such — an elk versus a mule deer, for example — will be up to the voters.

Criteria could range from which animal they think would win in a physical confrontation, which picture looks better on the day of the contest, or simply which one of the two animals is their favorite.

Community members can cast one vote for each pairing by going to the Jackson Hole and Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center on North Cache Street or by replying on Twitter.com with their chosen animal to the refuge’s handle, @NatlElkRefuge.People can see bracket updates online at FWS.gov/refuge/national_elk_refuge/.

In a contest of another kind people can vote for their favorite national wildlife refuge in USA Today’s latest readers’ choice travel contest. Readers are given opportunities to vote for their favorite travel destinations, and Best National Wildlife Refuge is one of the categories.

Vote once a day until 10 a.m.

Matt Schreiber waits for his first tram on the dock in 1980. He still has the hat, which his dad wore as a kid.

In a packed Aerial Tram car Matt Schreiber and 3-year-old daughter Eloise get some face time. Her first foray on Rendezvous Bowl from the tram involved a few falls, some tears and a lot of giggles.

PRICE CHAMBERS / NEWS&GUIDE

Matt and Eloise Schreiber ski together after the 3-year-old conquered Rendezvous Bowl.

peaks sprawl below the tram and decided he would ski it. Even at such a young age Schreiber had surpassed amateur status.

“I don’t remember learning to ski,” he said.

While he was still in the womb his mother, Leslie Schreiber, taught ski lessons at Snow King.

The following season he was tethered to her back while she worked at the resort, but his father never had to worry about the baby’s safety.

“For her,” Rick Schreiber said, “coming down Snow King with Matt on her back was like anyone else walking down stairs.”

At 14 months Matt Schreiber clicked into skis of his own, and he soared — straight down Snow King and into the snowbank that used to sit directly above the parking lot.

At last, on the final day of the 1979-80 season, the little boy had his chance at the Aerial Tram.

He ducked under the old turnstile with his mother laughing behind him and his dad getting ready. As helmets did not become a standard of the sport until the mid-2000s, the tot wore a beanie, a family heirloom.

“I can never remember not hav-

ing it,” 71-year-old Rick Schreiber said.

Schreiber’s grandmother came to the U.S. from Norway in 1923, and he remembers having had the remarkably well-preserved blue beanie with reindeer around the brim since he was at least 5.

“I don’t remember learning to ski.”

– Matt Schreiber FATHER OF ELOISE, WHO SKIED RENDEZVOUS BOWL FROM THE TRAM AT AGE 3

“We all grew up wearing Norwegian sweaters and hats,” he said.

Even though the old knit hat has survived generations of the Schreiber family, it wouldn’t stay on Eloise’s head. The plan was always for the youngster to wear her helmet on the way down, but in the spirit of tradition her grandfather and her dad anticipated she’d wear the beanie for the ride up.

With eyes barely able to peer over the bottom of the window Eloise watched the mountain peaks

unfurl below them, fighting to keep the hat off her head. Every time her father pulled it over her ears Eloise pulled it right back off.

Rick Schreiber worried some about the hat but finally conceded that his granddaughter would do what she wanted. He “just kind of went along for the ride,” he said, as it was his first time to click into downhill skis in at least five years.

His true passion is skate-skiing, and the day was for Eloise.

As Matt Schreiber did 35 years ago Eloise came down on her back, her side and her own time, her dad laughing all along. When she finally made it to the bottom she skied past her entourage and collapsed with another giggle.

After the family posed for a few photos Schreiber had to come up with some serious enticement to get his daughter skiing again.

“Let’s get some hot chocolate,” he said.

Schreiber’s wife, Charis, couldn’t make it to this outing because she’d given birth to a baby boy only four weeks before.

But in another three years Mom, Dad and Eloise plan to keep the tradition alive with another pass at the tram with little Gus. Contact Jason Suder at 732-7062 or schools@jhnewsandguide.com.

Kay Willard Benson remembers skiing on Snow King every day, which she loved. She doesn’t miss the oldtime woodstoves and having to eat elk every day.

Marilynn Riggan Mullikin misses the Saturday night dances at the American Legion Hall, going to Saturday matinees and sitting in the balcony, sitting in the booths at the Jackson Drug drinking cherry cokes with friends, camping on the shores of Jackson Lake, sledding down Bean’s Hill, ski racing, skiing down the Old Pass Road, playing ditch through alleys in her old Jeep, cute guys coming out to fill her car with gas, and decorating the old high school gym for dances. Marilynn misses the B & W Market, Lumley Drug, Benson’s Hardware, the Old Log Cabin Bar, Jackson Hardware, Jackson Sporting Goods, Smith’s Barber Shop, her mom’s beauty shop and her dad’s service station and garage.

Marilynn knows Jackson must grow, but she doesn’t like tall ultramodern buildings and busy streets.

The small-town atmosphere tugs at her heart. Jackson is a beautiful place to live, so she has to remember that others also love it. s The Birthday Club meeting last Friday at the Senior Center was host-

The card game 500 was played, with Frances Spencer scoring high and Kay Benson low. s Phyllis Osborne, a longtime Jackson resident, has written a book called “Home at Last.” It’s about a family that lives on the edge of the Wind River Indian Reservation. Phyllis, born in 1926, spent her childhood on the National Elk Refuge, where her father worked. She taught school for more than 20 years, five of them in Zenith. She also taught on the Wind River Reservation for several years.

She returned to Jackson in 1990.

“Home at Last” can be purchased at bookstores and Amazon.com. s Dick Scarlett has been named to the University of Wyoming board of trustees. Dick is a 1964 graduate of UW in business administration. He and his wife, Maggie, have been major donors to UW. The Scarlett Auditorium in the College of Business bears their name. He is the former president and CEO of United Bancorporation of Wyoming Inc. His term as a UW trustee runs through 2021.

Star Valley ends boys basketball season Powell beats Jackson in first round of regional tournament.

By Clark Forster

BRADLY J. BONER / NEWS&GUIDE PHOTOS

Anna Barker negotiates the giant slalom course during her second run Friday while competing in the Wyoming State High School Alpine Championships at Snow King Mountain. She was one of the Broncs who made all-state.

Broncs keep ski titles Jackson’s John Garrett and Abby Walker win individual slalom titles.

By Clark Forster The more things change the more they stay the same.

Jackson’s top five female skiers and four of its top five male skiers from 2014’s state title team didn’t return in 2015. But that didn’t stop the Broncs from taking both state titles for the fourth consecutive year.

Jackson earned two more alpine state championships this past weekend at Snow King, and Broncs John Garrett and Abby Walker took home individual slalom titles.

“It’s nice to see that the kids understood the team concept and went out and did their job, especially on Saturday,” Jackson coach Cody Hansen said.

“They were awesome.”

Saturday morning began with the Broncs boys in second place. The girls team was well in front of second-place Pinedale after racking up 66 points during Friday’s giant slalom to the Wranglers’ 40. But Jackson’s boys needed a complete team showing Sat-

The boys did more than ski safely and score points. They completely owned the discipline and the day as the top

four skiers in the field were all Broncs.

Garrett took the title with a combined time of 1:29.56. Following the sophomore were Jackson’s David Hunt, See alpine on 6C

Jackson got a third and final shot at rival Star Valley, but the Broncs couldn’t take down the Braves in a do-or-die game with a ticket to the state tournament on the line.

Jackson’s season ended Saturday with a 55-48 loss to its rival from Afton to finish the 3A West Regional Tournament 1-2.

“I’m disappointed we didn’t get to state,” Jackson coach Sean Shockley said. “That was our goal. But I’m extremely proud of the effort we gave.”

Jackson’s tournament began Thursday in Lander with an opening round game against Powell.

The Broncs led from the start as Powell couldn’t get ahead during the first half of play. Still, Jackson was unable to separate itself from a talented Powell team that had already beaten the Broncs during the regular season. A 3-pointer from Powell’s Kalei Smith tied the game at 33 going into halftime after Jackson had been in control for the first 16 minutes.

The Panthers finally went ahead in the opening moments of the third quarter, but Jackson once again controled most of the half, maintaining a lead until the final seconds of play.

Down 59-58 with 11 seconds left, Jackson inbounded the ball to senior Sam Dykema, who had a seam to the basket. Dykema went hard to the rim and was met by a high-flying Smith, who swatted the layup attempt.

A possible goaltending violation wasn’t called, but Jackson still had life. Broncs junior Nigel Dice grabbed the offensive board. Dice missed the second attempt, but right before the clock struck zero Jackson’s Brady Anderson went for the tip-in off the miss.

The referees blew the whistle as Anderson was hacked, but no time See BasketBall on 5C

Petervarys race fat bikes on Iditarod Trail Idaho couple competes in grueling Alaskan event.

By Clark Forster Jay and Tracey Petervary made a long journey to Alaska two weeks ago, and on March 1 they began an even longer journey across the state through frigid wilderness terrain on fat bikes.

The Victor couple were off to compete in their third Iditarod Trail Invitational and first since 2011.

Tracey Petervary’s journey began

just outside Anchorage on March 1 and ended at 1:46 p.m. Alaska time March 5 in McGrath.

She competed in the 350-mile race, while her husband is competing in the 1,000-mile race.

Tracey Petervary finished first among five women competing in the 350-mile race. Her time was 12 hours and seven minutes ahead of the next closest competitor.

She finished eighth overall.

Jay Petervary’s journey continues west from McGrath to Nome. He is likely to face temperatures hovering

around minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit while cycling along the Yukon River.

Petervary is one of eight athletes competing in the grueling 1,000-mile trek that traverses through almost two-thirds of the state. He is currently in first place and had ridden 625 miles as of noon Tuesday.

Petervary is projected to finish the race in 13 days, 14 hours and 55 minutes.

The next-fastest projection has rider Pavel Richtr coming into Nome with a time of 16 days, 22 hours and 30 minutes.

Petervary won the race in 2011 in 17 days and 6 hours. That year his wife finished third and was the first woman to complete the southern route for the Iditarod Trail Invitational. Her time was 18 days, 6 hours and 30 minutes.

The couple first competed in the event in 2010 where they rode together and finished in 18 days, 6 hours. Their time was good for second place.

JACKSON HOLE NEWS&GUIDE, Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 3C

SPORTS BRIEFS Jackson women dominate Local freeskiers Kaki Orr and Morgan McGlashon took the top two spots on the podium at the Subaru Freeride Series in Telluride, Colorado, this past Sunday. Orr, who is new to the freeski competition scene, took first place by skiing one of the most technically fluid runs with bold straightline airs. The victory is especially sweet after Orr was sidelined last year with a torn ACL. McGlashon, a Jackson native and only 18, took second place with her hard-charging style and speed. A former ski racer, McGlashon is known for speed and fluidity down the mountain. Both members of the Mountain Athlete Freeski Team, Orr and McGlashon have been training on the mountain and in the gym together, starting in June. Rob DesLauriers has been working with them at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort on technique and competition strategy. “It feels pretty incredible to be standing on top of the podium after my second ever SFS competition,” Orr said. The next event for the Jackson skiers takes place in Big Sky, Montana at the end of the month.

Moose forward Sean Hannafin slaps one in for a goal Saturday night as Jackson handles the Vermont Flex. The Moose won the game 7-4. The team beat the Flex 6-1 on Friday. The weekend sweep left the Moose with a 15-9 record overall.

Moose enter playoffs riding high Jackson on four-game winning streak as they get set for final tournament this weekend.

By Clark Forster The playoffs are coming at a good time for the Moose.

Jackson took games from the Vermont Flex over the weekend by scores of 6-1 and 7-4. The Moose will enter this weekend’s Black Diamond Hockey League playoffs with their first winning streak of 2015.

“We’re all coming together,” Moose captain Brian Hannafin said. “Things are starting to click, and we’re playing well. It’s good to go into the playoffs with a 4-0 record.”

Jackson notched its third and fourth straight wins this past Friday and Saturday in convincing fashion over the Flex.

A hard-hitting first period Friday ended with a glove side, top shelf goal off the stick of Jackson’s Ryan Tufte to put Jackson up 1-0.

The scoring carried over into the second period as Jackson got scores from Kyle Krauss, Hannafin and Austin Chow to stretch the lead to 4-0.

Luke Sisler and Ben Pullar each added third-period goals, and Nick Krauss stopped all but one of Vermont’s 33 shots to help Jackson hold on for the six-goal blowout win.

Jackson got up early again on the Flex on Saturday as first-period goals from Tufte and Pullar put Jackson up 2-0. Jackson’s Gerrit Hardeman and Sean Hannafin added second-period

goals, but the Flex stayed close, slipping two goals past Jackson goalie Dan Amborski.

Two more Flex goals were had in the final period but Jackson added three of its own. A.J. Sanders, Chow and Nate Goss-Woliner became the fifth, sixth and seventh Jackson players to net goals on the evening, and the Moose ended the regular season with the four-game winning streak.

Jackson finished the regular season with a 15-9 record.

The Moose now set their sights on this weekend’s inaugural BDHL tournament, where the first league champion will be crowned and awarded the Joe Casey Cup. Casey was a 13-year Moose veteran, captain and the team’s all-time leading scorer who died in February 2013 at the age of 37.

Hannafin said the team is excited for the opportunity to play hockey with something meaningful on the line.

“It’s been a long time where a lot of us have played where it’s do or die,” he said. “We’re all going to be ready to go Friday night.”

Jackson went 6-6 in league play this season to earn the tournaments’ No. 2-seed in the four-team playoff.

The Moose will host No. 3-seed Bozeman on Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the semifinal nightcap at Snow King Sports and Events Center. The first semifinal will take place at 4 p.m. and will feature No. 1-seed Sun Valley Suns against No. 4-seed Park City Pioneers.

The winners will face off in Saturday’s league championship at 7:30 p.m.

Jackson won’t have an easy path to the finale. The Moose split the season

series with Bozeman 2-2. The combined scores of the four games was 19-19.

“I expect they’re going to throw everything that they’ve got at us,” Hannafin said. “For us to beat Bozeman we have to play smart and deal with their physical play.”

If Jackson can get past the Stingers it will likely have a matchup with the league’s only undefeated team, the Suns. Sun Valley went 4-0 versus Jackson this season, outscoring the Moose 24-10 in doing so.

“A lot of our games against Sun Valley we’ve played a good first period and taken two periods off and it’s hurt us,” Hannafin said. “We have to play a complete game, a full 60 minutes. Getting some timely goals, good defensive play and being physical will definitely play a factor in the outcome.”

After splitting time throughout the season, Jackson goalie Nick Krauss will get the start in net for the Moose over Amborski.

“Nick’s played well,” Hannafin said. “I think everybody feels that he’s earned the start in the playoffs.”

Jackson’s path to 2-0 and a league title won’t be easy, but Hannafin said the team welcomes some showdown hockey and a chance to play for a teammate.

“This tournament is huge for us,” he said. “It means a lot to us. The trophy’s named after Joe Casey who was our teammate for several years and basically one of the hardest working guys ever to put on a Moose jersey. If you don’t want to play for that, I don’t know what you can get up for.”

Gibson fourth in junior national sprint

By Clark Forster Three Jackson Hole Ski Club Nordic skiers are competing at Junior Nationals in Truckee, California, throughout the week, and one skier has already made waves.

Anna Gibson beat out 65 of the country’s top U16 skiers Monday in the 1.3-kilometer sprint race at Auburn Ski Club to finish fourth.

Gibson’s time of 2 minutes and 23.4 seconds left her 5.5 seconds behind race winner Brooke Dunnagan.

Dunnagan and Gibson are both representing the Intermountain Division at this week’s races.

The high school sophomore is com-

peting at the event for the second straight year. Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club Nordic coach Ben Morley said the impressive result in a race of this caliber bodes well for Gibson’s future as a racer.

“It’s a good way to set herself up for the future, whether she wants to ski in college or the U.S. ski team,” Morley said.

Gibson’s week continues with a freestyle race today, a classic race Friday and a classic relay race Saturday.

The other Jackson skiers competing in California this week are Bjorn Schou and Gibson’s sister, Reily Gibson.

Reily Gibson and Schou are com-

peting in the U18 division. Both skiers competed in Monday’s sprint race but failed to qualify for the final heat.

All three skiers are set to race throughout the week against the top amateur Nordic competition in the United States.

“All the fastest kids in the country are here,” Morley said. “It’s the ultimate junior competition in the country.”

See next week’s News&Guide for final results from the week-long competition.

Freeriders successful in Utah Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club sent freeriders to Snow Basin, Utah, and Crested Butte, Colorado, this past weekend and three Jackson riders found themselves on the podium. In Utah, Ashley Rot was the top girl in the 14-15 age division in Saturday’s slopestyle and also won Sunday’s slopestyle.

She then won the rail jam event to complete the trio of firsts. Jackson rider Jake Johnson also had an impressive weekend with a fourth- and fifth-place result in slopestyle and rail jam in Utah. At the national event in Colorado, Chris Mayers took first in big mountain freeride in the the ultracompetitive 15-18 division. Following Mayers was Victor, Idaho’s Ben Schulz in second.

Club offers junior golf clinics

Junior golfers of Teton County are invited to participate in Snake River Sporting Club’s community junior golf clinic series. During the 2015 summer months the Sporting Club professional staff will teach and mentor any junior player who wishes to participate. The efforts of the golf professional staff will be to share their passion for the game and to give a fun and educational opportunity to juniors in the community who want to play or who may already play. The clinic series is a progressive program teaching all aspects of the game along with basic rules and etiquette. Clinics will be conducted every Tuesday afternoon from 4:30 to 6 p.m., May 26 through July 7. The cost is $15 a session and the clinics are for kids ages 10-17. Contact the Sporting Club Sports Shop on or before the Monday prior to the clinic at 200-3093.

Sled dog race will debut West Yellowstone Sled Dog Races is hosting a new race next week beginning March 19. The Yellowstone Special Stage Race is a three-day stage race designed with the smaller kennels in mind. Spectators are welcome at the starting line as well as at selected checkpoints along the race route.

The Yellowstone Special commemorates the Union Pacific Railroad, which was instrumental in 1917 in establishing the first sled dog race that ran from Ashton, Idaho, to West Yellowstone, Montana. The race was founded by Ashton community members and men from Harriman’s Railroad Ranch. The Union Pacific Railroad was the major sponsor of the race, and teams ran on the train tracks between destinations. At the time the train that ran that line was called the Yellowstone Special, thus the name of the new race. “The main reason for establishing the new race in West Yellowstone,” according to organizer and local musher Charlotte Mooney, “was to extend the sled dog racing season.”

Czarniak takes pro ski title at Dick’s Ditch Nine local riders claim victory in their divisions.

By Clark Forster

Arguably the most unusual ski and snowboard event in the valley, the Dick’s Ditch Classic Banked Slalom Race throws everything at a rider from jumps to turns to steep pitches.

That makes for one heck of a race course.

This year’s course was slightly adjusted due to recent weather and conditions but it still provided traditional thrills.

“It didn’t have as many jumps as it used to, but it was fun,” said snowboarder Mac Staryk, 14. “There were a lot more kickers. I think it’s because we don’t have enough snow.”

Staryk said he felt good

about his run and was happy to be competing for a second year.

He ended up taking second in his division.

“Even if you like park or big mountain, it’s fun for everybody,” he said.

No matter what their times were, ’boarders and skiers bold enough to compete wanted to make sure they looked good doing so. With all the talent and big-time riders, contestants were looking to impress.

“I don’t really know how I did or what other people think of me as a snowboarder,” said Charlie Rosen, 13. “I did wipe out, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the other kids beat me by a lot of time.”

Rosen ended up finishing sixth in the 11-13 division. He was fifth in 2014, his first attempt at Dick’s Ditch.

The big winners of the day were Utah’s Lizzy Beerman, Idaho’s Pat Holland, Alaska’s

Brittany Mumma and Jackson’s own Stosh Czarniak.

Beerman and Holland won the pro divisions in the snowboarding category. Mumma won the female skiing category.

Czarniak, on skis, was the lone local to take a pro division title.

“He was a top racer in Jackson Hole Ski Club’s Alpine program for years and then switched over to the Freeride program in 2013,” said Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club Freeride Program Director Jeff Moran. “He is a great example of the elite level, well-rounded athletes that club produces.”

Moran said Czarniak is a standout in alpine racing, banked slalom, slopestyle, rail jams and big mountain freeride events. His background was ideal for Dick’s Ditch, and he didn’t disappoint.

Eighteen divisions total competed for bragging rights and thrills at the classic event, and nine divisions were won by local riders.

remained on the clock. After a lengthy discussion the refs ruled that the foul was not in the act of shooting, and Anderson was sent to the free throw line for a one-and-one opportunity.

No time was put back on the clock, and Anderson was one make away from sending the game to overtime and two makes away from sending Jackson to within one win of a state berth.

But Anderson missed the initial free throw, and Powell walked away with the 59-58 win.

“We played hard,” Shockley said. “We didn’t give anything away. We were one point away from upsetting a very good Powell team that controlled us here in Jackson. “ Shockley said Anderson was crushed and was apologetic to the team, although he had little reason to be. He finished with 12 points in one of his best offensive outings of the season.

“He had the courage to get in and compete and try to get the rebound,” Shockley said. “He was our top free throw shooter in all of our practice drills this year so we had confidence in him going up there.”

Anderson’s 12 led the team. Junior Henry Geraci finished with 10.

Jackson bounced back the next morning to demolish a lowly Pinedale team.

The Broncs wiped out the Wranglers 56-37 as nine Jackson players made at least one field goal. Jackson senior Carter Ness led the team with 18 points.

Lady Broncs come close in a bid to upset Lander Jackson ends its 1-21 season with best game.

By Clark Forster The Lady Broncs were three minutes away from making serious waves in the 3A West regional basketball tournament.

Jackson led the Lander Lady Tigers 18-6 after Friday’s opening quarter and were able to maintain a lead for much of the game.

Jackson (1-21) held a 41-39 advantage with just over three minutes to play in the final quarter. But myriad turnovers sent Lander on a run that would end Jackson’s hope of the upset.

Lander (9-16) capitalized on the Broncs miscues, outscoring Jackson 13-2 the rest of the way and escaping with a 52-43 win.

Jackson’s Nikky Johnson finished her final game as a Bronc with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Junior Abbie Shockley finished with eight points and four assists in the loss.

“I could see them start to tense up a little bit at the three-minute mark,” Jackson coach Khale Reno said. “We haven’t been in that position very often this year so it was hard for us to finish the game.”

The Broncs fell in their opening game to Powell on Thursday and found themselves in the losers’ bracket matchup with Lander.

If Jackson had won it would’ve played the Cody-Star Valley winner with a state berth on the line. Cody was Jackson’s lone win of the season, and Jackson almost got a rematch with the Fillies and a chance to go to state.

Cody trailed Star Valley 34-32 entering the fourth quarter before falling to the Braves 53-47.

The girls game against Lander won’t be remembered for the way it ended but for how Jackson fought and played with energy from the opening tip, Reno said.

“I was so proud,” she said. “It was by far our best game. They came out like a force.”

The team started with confidence.

Reno said at the half that senior guard Lena Rossolo told Reno that she was going to hit three-pointers if Reno put her in. Reno obliged, and Rossolo

knocked down two of them to start the third quarter.

“That was so awesome that she called that,” Reno said. “The problem was Lander answered them.”

Lander hit back-to-back threes and prevented Jackson from extending its lead.

Jackson found itself in the matchup versus Lander by virtue of its first round loss to Powell.

The Panthers trounced the Broncs 62-25 on their way a 3A West championship game appearance. Powell fell to Lovell 45-41 in the title game.

Jackson’s Jamie McMullen and Emilie Johnson each had six points in the loss.

The Broncs graduate eight seniors and will look to rebuild around junior Rebekah Graus, freshman Rachyl Fairbanks and junior Abbie Shockley.

The win set up the third and final contest against Star Valley to see which team went home and which team punched its ticket to state.

The Broncs trailed after the first quarter 12-6 and at halftime 24-17.

But, just like the two previous meetings, Jackson made it a one-possession game in the final minutes.

And, just like the two previous meetings, Jackson couldn’t get a critical bucket in the final minute of play.

“Star Valley made plays when they had to, and to our credit we made plays to stay right there with them,” Shockley said. “We just had to play from behind the whole game and just never quite got over the hump.”

Jackson finished the season 10-13.

Star Valley heads to state with a record of 16-7. Lander won the tournament with a 72-57 win over Powell.

Shockley said he was proud of his team for fighting throughout the year.

Jackson lost just two games by double digits all season and one of those losses came in the season opener.

“We had to fight so hard every game to make it competitive,” he said. “Baskets didn’t come easy. We didn’t have extreme quickness mismatches in our favor. But I take a lot of pride in how hard our kids fought.”

Jackson will graduate seven seniors off this year’s team after graduating all five starters last year, and will look to rebuild once again.

Trystan Smith and Anders Olson in second, third and fourth respectively.

The foursome racked up 66 points alone, 29 more than Cody, and won the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15th state title going away. The two-day final score was Jackson 120, Cody 84.

Hansen said the boys team had trailed before after one day of racing and he knew they could bounce back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talked to them the night before and let them know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in this position a few times this year and basically let â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em know we knew they could go do it,â&#x20AC;? Hansen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came out and did it. They did above and beyond what I thought they would do Saturday.â&#x20AC;?

For the girls team Saturday was nothing more than another coronation.

After leading by 26 after Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GS, the Jackson girls cemented their 24th state title Saturday when Walker, Anna Barker and Alise Olson went one-twothree.

Jackson cruised to a 57-point win over Pinedale in a drama-free day.

Walker, a freshman, won the individual slalom title with a combined time of 1:38.40, edging out teammate Barker by 1.26 seconds. After being unable to claim individual titles Friday, Jackson claimed two Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Abbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done it right all season long, and it was good for John,â&#x20AC;? Hansen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew he had the speed to do that.â&#x20AC;?

Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest competition, Laramieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Megan Moss, crashed on her second run.

Moss, who won the GS on Friday, held a 0.78-second lead over Walker heading into the second run. But the crash, and Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flawless run, delivered the individual title to the freshman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels so great,â&#x20AC;? Walker said of her win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited. I was skiing pretty aggressive but mostly I just wanted to finish my run and have two clean runs put together for the team.â&#x20AC;?

For the boys, Hunt, Anders Olson and Chase Bancroft raced to two top-10 results in the two days of skiing.

Anders Olson, Hunt and Claire French are the lone Jackson skiers moving on after this season. Jackson will return everyone else, including its trio of underclassmen girls, as the teams try to win championships No. 40 and 41.

Business BUSINESS BRIEFS Barlow featured at Amangani John Perry Barlow, Grateful Dead lyricist, rancher, businessman and advocate for a free and unfettered Internet, will speak at a soldout Startup Grind Jackson Hole event tonight at Amangani. Startup Grind is a program created by Google for entrepreneurs. For information about future speakers go online to StartupGrind.com/jackson-hole.

Spark to host mixer

Spark Jackson Hole will host a Chamber Mixer from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday. Refreshments will be served, and a raffle will reward the winner with a one-month membership. Mixers are informal networking events hosted by Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce members who want to showcase their services. Spark rents event, desk and office space — with Internet and other amenities — for knowledge workers, entrepreneurs and others looking for community and workspace. Visit SparkJH.com.

For discerning travelers

Scout.com named Jackson Hole one of five ski areas to go to “to get in one more epic run before spring finally decides to spring.”

Suggesting Jackson Hole for “the discerning traveler,” the website recommended staying at the Four Seasons and having a drink and elk nachos at the Handle Bar. Other areas on the list: Alaska’s Alyeska Resort, “for the adventurer”; Colorado’s Crested Butte Mountain, “for the ski bum”; Killington Resort in Vermont, “for the East Coast crusher”; and Lake Tahoe’s Heavenly, “for the partier.”

More tourists for Equality State

Wyoming saw 10.1 million overnight leisure travelers in 2014, an 11 percent increase from 2013. That’s the largest year-over-year increase since the numbers have been tracked, according to a Wyoming Office of Tourism report. Direct spending grew to $3.3 billion, generating $159 million in tax revenue returned to state and local governments. Local lodging tax collections — which also support the visitor economy — totaled $14.8 million, up 8.5 percent over the previous year, the report said.

Gas prices edge up

Average retail gasoline prices in Wyoming rose 5.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.14 a gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 494 gas outlets in Wyoming. The national per-gallon average increased 2.5 cents per gallon in the past week to $2.46, said GasBuddy.com. In Jackson Hole the lowest regular gas prices recently have ranged from $2.09 to $2.59 a gallon.

Laurel Wicks, right, is shown at Bru’s Buns and Breads, the bakery she began in 1975 that later became the Bunnery.

She’ll be signing copies of her cookbook, “Get Your Buns In Here,” on Tuesday at the Bunnery’s 40th anniversary party.

Get yer buns into 40th birthday Bunnery honors occasion with discounts, specials, cookbook-signing event.

By Johanna Love Forty years ago Laurel Wicks opened up a tiny bakery in half of a tiny log cabin.

Today that business is the Bunnery, which seats up to 160 people on summer mornings and uses some of the same recipes that have kept diners coming back for decades.

The Bunnery will celebrate its 40th birthday Tuesday in grand fashion, with 40 percent off everything: coffee, baked goods, T-shirts, granola, whole pies, ball caps, food eaten there, food taken to go.

On her first day in business as Bru’s Buns and Breads — March 17, 1975 — Wicks had cookies, breads and muffins baked, coffee brewed and tea ready, and customers began walking in. Her friend Barbara Smith (nee Sanford) turned

to her and asked how much to charge and where to put the money, since there wasn’t a cash register. Another friend ran around the corner to Blake VandeWater’s hardware store to scrounge up a cigar box that Wicks used as a cash register for a couple of years.

Located in the historic Coe Blacksmith Shop, which dates to the 1930s, Bru’s Buns and Breads was the first business to open on King Street, Wicks said, despite the proximity of Crabtree Corner, a bustling cluster of tourist shops and the original location of Merry Piglets.

Businessmen and Realtors “waited with bated breath to see if people would turn the corner,” Wicks said. “It smelled like a bakery. People followed their noses around that corner.”

At the time it was the only bakery for 100 miles around, Wicks said. She made bagels long before Pearl Street Bagels and peddled sweet breads long before Harvest Cafe, Bakery and Natural Foods.

One of her first wildly popular recipes was a “Sweetie Bun” concoction handed down from Smith’s mother. Wicks developed the wheat bread recipe, but “some hippie bakers” started throwing in whole grains, resulting in the OSM (oat, sunflower, millet) Bread that remains the Bunnery’s trademark.

Another hippie baker, former pro ballet dancer Tom Cahill, or “Swami Tommy,” would yell out the window to passers-by, “Get your buns in here!”

During her first few years in business, 74 percent of Wicks’ income flowed through the bakery between the Fourth of July and Labor Day. “There was a lot of twiddling your thumbs” the other months of the year, she said, with a Teton County population of only about 3,000 to sustain the shop.

For several winters, Wicks went away and worked elsewhere, such as catering in Hollywood, sending money back and keeping the ovens hot at her See bunnery on 8C

Business goes year-round with fat bikes Teton Mountain Bike Tour’s Hunger talks about changing industry.

I’ve been mountain biking since ’84. I started Teton Mountain Biking Tours in ’91, which was about a year after I moved out here.

I wanted to be outside, but didn’t want to be gone as long as an outdoors program would require.

bakery. Other times she had to turn to Jackson State Bank President Felix Buchenroth. Rather than a formal loan, the bank guaranteed her checks, she said.

“He’d say, ‘The money will come,’” Wicks said. “‘Write the checks you need to, for ingredients, employees, and we’ll cover them until the money comes back to town.’”

After her first year, landlord Rick Horn moved his apartment out of the back of the blacksmith cabin and let Bru’s Buns expand, but he also doubled the monthly rent from $75 to $150.

After five years, Wicks moved the bakery to its current location in the Hole in the Wall Mall on North Cache.

She sold it in fall 1982 to a group of people who owned Sweetwater Cafe, taking the “Bru” part of the name and leaving “The Bunnery.”

Today’s owners, Gerard and Dominique Yvernault, are the fifth set. They purchased it in 1990, son-in-law and manager Tony Labbe said. He has been the public face of the bakery and restaurant for 12 years.

After Labbe met Caroline Yvernault at the University of Denver, where he studied hotel and restaurant management, they married in 1997 and lived in New York, Hawaii and San Francisco before landing back Labbe in Jackson Hole to run the Bunnery.

It remains a “casual, friendly, fun family place to get good food,” Labbe said. Over the years it has expanded into neighboring rooms of the Hole in the Wall and can now seat 100 inside and about 60 people on the deck in the summer.

Loyal employees are the secret to the business’ success, Labbe said, with some cooks having worked there 12 or

15 years, and assistant manager Shauna DuPont providing a consistent frontof-house smile.

Without physical space to expand further, the Bunnery has grown in other ways, selling its granola and OSM pancake mix in retail outlets and online. The business even has a separate production kitchen in west Jackson for those products.

The strong local clientele who sends tourists to the Bunnery keeps the business open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. yearround, 365 days a year, Labbe said. In the heat of summer, those loyal diners sometimes sneak in when the doors open or come in midafternoon to avoid the long line that often snakes out the Bunnery door and down the boardwalk.

Roughly from Memorial Day to Labor Day, the Bunnery adds a dinner shift from about 5 to 9 p.m.

The interior is decorated with dozens of roosters, a nod to Dominique Yvernault’s childhood in France, where the cocky fowl are a symbol of prosperity.

One day a visitor inquired whether the rooster was for sale. Of course! Now all the roosters perching atop windowsills and counters sport price tags.

After she sold the bakery in 1982, Wicks was stopped on the street and called up at all hours by people who simply had to have the recipe for this or that. So shortly thereafter she wrote a cookbook. It has passed from self-publishing to two publishers and back to self-published in its latest press run.

On Tuesday at the Bunnery, Wicks will sign copies of the cookbook from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. It costs $19.95. She says she’s looking forward to seeing familiar faces and former employees. She even will give away a few pieces of Bunnery ephemera from her own collection: labels and postcards.

al, people are more interested in being active and outdoors.

That’s changed. Technology with bikes has completely changed.

I’ve also changed. I used to have a more Outward Bound mentality. I was trying to go too hard. Now I am more conservative. If you call on the phone and say, “David, what should I do a tour of?” I’ll ask if you want to do a half day or full day. I’ll ask you tell me about your group. My whole goal is to breed success for not one person in the group, but everyone.

Q:

The fat bike industry has become very popu-

lar. How long have you been guiding fat bike tours?

Here’s the History 101 of guiding fat bike tours: I hate riding an exercise bike, but I like to ride. In the winter it was either hang your bike up or ride an exercise bike. You could also take your mountain bike and put studded tires on it. That is what I did seven or eight years ago.

One day, one of my guides came up to me. I think he was trying to create a job for himself in the winter. He said what about doing fat bike tours during the winter. I said the bikes are really expensive, but let me check to see if we could do it permit wise. To

A:

my surprise, the park said we could do it on plowed roads in the park. Anything a car could drive on we could ride our bike on.

But a fat bike is about $1,000. You can’t have one. If you are doing guided tours, you have to have six or seven.

I didn’t want to make that initial investment. I should have, but I wanted to see if the idea even went. So I bought some studded tires for eight mountain bikes. I already had the mountain bikes. I just had to change the tires. It was OK, and we did a few tours.

Q:

When did you decide to buy fat bikes for the

This year has had a huge increase. It’s almost to the point where I could hire someone to do tours and someone to sit in the office. It’s still not the summer. I’m not going to hire 20 guides. This year I tried to do a one-man show. It was tight. I wasn’t getting a lot of my stuff done.

many fat bikes did Q:IHow you start out with? started out with six. I A: had 10 last year and 10 this year. I’ll probably add a couple more for next year.

Where to go for the wearing of the green Bars, bakeries and restaurants to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

By Julie Butler

J

ackson Hole hardly lacks excuses to celebrate. And St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday presents yet another chance to put on your party pants.

March 17 marks the annual cultural and religious recognition of the death date of Ireland’s patron saint, but one need not be even remotely of Irish heritage to partake in the wearing of the green.

Many bars and restaurants will offer a salute to St. Paddy with traditional Irish fare, beer and other such shenanigans designed to keep your Irish — or non-Irish — eyes smiling.

The Silver Dollar Bar is holding a St. Patrick’s Day party staring at 7:30 p.m., replete with music by Slip and the Jigs, green beer and Guinness specials, corned beef and cabbage and party favors. There is no cover charge.

At Snake River Brewing marketing maven Krissy Zinski said that the pub’s annual celebration will go on all day long.

“We have been doing St. Patrick’s Day at the brewpub since we opened 21 years ago,” Zinski said.

“It brings the locals and out-of-towners together to eat, drink and be merry. With live bagpipers and fun Irish music all day, the vibe here for St. Pat’s is awesome.”

The pub’s traditional Irish food menu will include shepherd’s pie, corned beef and cabbage, bangers and mash, and pork shank. The venue will also be serving its “famous” corned beef bierocks — a flavor that only PRICE CHAMBERS / NEWS&GUIDE

Jacob Jackson, 7, honored one Irish tradition in 2011 by having a bit of fun playing a leprechaun and giving away his gold outside the Snake River Brewery.

BRADLY J. BONER / NEWS&GUIDE FILE

Karil Brocha, of Etna, gets in the spirit of St. Patrick while listening to the Celtic band Slip and the Jigs at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort a few years back.

comes once a year, Zinski said.

St. Pat’s liter and half-liter steins will be sold, and there will be discounted refills. Two specialty beers — Fitzy’s Irish Stout and McCarthy’s Red Ale — will be on tap for the occasion, too.

While there will not be a contest, the wearing of costumes is nonetheless encouraged. The pub will also be giving away holiday hats, necklaces and glasses.

“I am encouraging people to take photos of themselves here at the pub on St. Patrick’s Day or send in their best photos from years past,” Zinski said. “They can post them at #SRB on Facebook and Instagram.

The best photo will win a couple of our liter steins filled with beer.”

Henrys Fork Pipes and Drums will be playing between 1 and 3 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m.

Last, but not least, there will be green Jell-o shots while supplies last.

On Town Square the Rose’s nod to the centuriesold holiday will include Irish food and cocktails.

Sneaky Pete and the Secret Weapons will headline Town Square Tavern’s St. Patrick’s Day fete.

Out in Teton Village not only will skiers be decked out in all manner and shades of kelly green, but the Mangy Moose will present the Miller Sisters from 4 to 7:30 p.m. Families are welcome for the free music celebration.

And the band Screen Door Porch performs at the Handle Bar in the Four Seasons Resort with its own salute to the saint.

But St. Patrick’s Day does not necessarily equal getting tipsy. There are plenty of other ways to ac-

knowledge the occasion.

Jackson Whole Grocer will be selling shamrock sugar cookies for kids of all ages as well as St. Pat’s cupcakes.

Ginny Hutchinson, director of marketing, said there will be a special on cabbage and corned beef brisket, and six-packs of Guinness beer will be on sale all day.

The store will also have a raffle for some lucky customer to win $100 worth of groceries.

Cowboy Coffee and Persephone Bakery will be pouring Irish coffee for those wishing to purchase a little extra perk in their percolated beverage. The bakery is also adding green marshmallows to its hot chocolate.

For seniors, a special St. Paddy’s day lunch will start at noon at the Senior Center of Jackson Hole.

In addition to serving a traditional corned beef meal, there will also be shamrock punch for the parched and games with prizes offered, said Bettie Taylor, activity and volunteer coordinator.

The event is free for seniors and $8 for others. Kids are welcome.

Remember: Jackson’s finest will be out and about, ready to turn the “luck of the Irish” around if you are driving while impaired. So make sure you have a designated driver or call a cab.

And there is an Irish blessing you might want to keep in mind: “May the roof above us never fall in and may we friends gathered below never fall out.”

JH Snowboarder to party with top rappers Who: Immortal Technique and Talib Kweli with Niko Is, CF and Hasan Salaam What: JH Snowboarder Magazine 10th anniversary party When: 9 p.m. Saturday Where: Pink Garter Theatre How much: $50-$60

By Jason Suder

T

he revolution will not be televised, infamous soul singer Gil Scott-Heron once said. But it will be heard.

For the JH Snowboarder Magazine party Saturday night the Pink Garter is hosting one of, if not the, most important hip-hop shows to come to Jackson. Immortal Technique is opening for Talib Kweli.

Both artists are legendary in the scene. Immortal Technique, the stage name of Felipe Andres Coronel, rose to notoriety with his aggressive attacks on the Bush administration following the 9/11 attacks.

Throughout his catalog the meanest rhymesayer in the industry has compared George W. Bush to Osama bin Laden and lyrically lashed out at the former president’s administration for orchestrating the war in Iraq for profit. He sees the cocaine industry across South America as a repressionist force that indentures indigenous populations. He championed equal rights for minorities in the United States.

“The message is universal and affects all human beings,” Coronel told the Jackson Hole News&Guide.

“We get caught up in a demographic of people that need to hear it. Everybody needs to hear it.”

Since the mid-1990s hip-hop has served as a tool for social consciousness in communities across the country and world. As popular rock ’n’ roll did in the 1960s, hip-hop lends itself to sharing oppression stories and criticizing the systems that purport it.

While some countries, such as Colombia and Brazil, have embraced the musical form as a way to reach their citizenry, Coronel sees the U.S. government as actively trying to put the genre down.

“It may just be a small hip-hop show,” he said, “but the ideas that replant into people’s minds about freethinking, about not always just going along with something because it’s the most popular idea, about challenging the status quo, these are the ideas that people are terrified of.

“We’re missing a gigantic opportunity by not having hip-hop do that, and the only reason is they’re terrified of people having an original thought.”

Coronel was born in Lima, Peru, but grew up in Harlem. In New York he lived through the hardships he raps about, but when George W. Bush became president his rhymes took a markedly more pointed

attack at a system he sees as designed to maintain a hierarchy built on race. He was mad.

“My words’ll expose George Bush and Bin Laden as two separate parts of the same seven-headed dragon,” he rapped in “Cause of Death” off his sophomore album, 2003’s “Revolutionary Vol. 2.”

“Human nature is naturally to be rebellious,” he later explained. “You know why, because you cannot keep a human being down on the ground without staying down on the ground with them, without filthying yourself in the process. You can’t make someone a slave without losing some of your humanity in the way that you excuse it.”

In fighting to incite a revolution Coronel understands he is putting himself in the line of fire, like a modern-day Che Guevara.

“These empires have never fallen just because they lose wars, and my mind is being opened by these human tragedies,” he said. “But, if I stand in the way of that national agenda I can be put on the chopping block as well.”

Talib Kweli takes a different approach but is no less vehement in his political activism. Focusing on police brutality and racial stereotypes, Kweli climbed into the limelight after the 1997 formation

of super-duo Black Star with fellow artist Mos Def. While equally driven toward social consciousness, Kweli’s music is markedly lighter as it floats on the melodies of ’70s funk and soul. The execution of Timothy McVeigh and the crack epidemic are met in his catalog with comparisons of love to the power of Barack Obama and of a woman’s value to “a Salvador Dali.” He is more optimistic.

Both artists preach to empower their listeners.

On a visit to Colombia, Coronel witnessed government programs that implemented hip-hop and drumming classes to keep kids off drugs and out of gangs. It’s the type of initiative he’d love to see in America.

“There are only two types of running: free and scared,” Coronel said. Revolution “starts with a small group of people and grows.”

The universal message begins Saturday night at 9 p.m. with Niko Is, CF (Constant Flow) and Hasan Salaam warming up the mic for Immortal Technique and then Talib Kweli. Second-tier tickets cost $50.

Once that round sells out, the price will jump to $60.

Infamous Stringdusters to let it go at Pink Garter Who: Infamous Stringdusters What: Bluegrass for the 21st century When: 9 p.m. tonight Where: Pink Garter Theatre How much: $25; 21 and older only

By Jason Suder Tonight a night of bluegrass featuring the Infamous Stringdusters awaits patrons of the Pink Garter.

The Appalachian-influenced sound of the mountains has soared with the band’s nine-year history. The Infamous Stringdusters are ingrained in the modern iteration of the music that poured from European immigrants huddling around 19th-century campfires and spread like wildfire to outdoor communities across America.

The new movement in the classically acoustic genre builds off the free form and improvisation of old-world jamborees and combines elements of rock ’n’ roll for a faster, more relevant sound.

With the upright bass as the backbone and the expressive marcato of the banjo filling in the breaks, Jeremy Garrett’s fiddle dances with Andy Falco’s

ward with wild solos.

Since 2006 the band has been at the vanguard of “newgrass,” particularly

with the 2007 release of “Fork in the Road,” which received many awards.

The band grew in popularity and in 2011 earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Instrumental for the song “Magic No. 9.”

The Stringdusters’ most recent release, 2014’s “Let It Go,” is a maturing of the sound.

“It’s the first album we’ve done with 100 percent original material,” Falco said in a press release. “I realized — especially when I joined the Stringdusters — that the musical influences could come out. That’s when you shed those rules and think you can allow it to be whatever you want it to be.”

If you’ve ever worried about things out of your control, let the cathartic hootenanny of tonight’s show help you remember, as it’s said in the new album’s title track, “it’s time to let it go.”

The Infamous Stringdusters will take the stage at 9 p.m. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $25 abd are available to anyone 21 and older.

PRICE CHAMBERS / NEWS&GUIDE FILE

Music Director Donald Runnicles will lead Grand Teton Music Festival for his 10th season this summer. His contract continues through 2019.

Table set for music festival’s 54th season Summer offerings to include high-profile soloists, music in art galleries.

By Richard Anderson

A

fter 53 years the Grand Teton Music Festival has learned a thing or two about laying a sumptuous summertime classical feast.

The main course features baroque, classical and romantic favorites. Some 20th-century side dishes and a few tastes of the contemporary offer exotic flavors. And “fusion” treats cleanse the palate with blends of the classic and the popular.

Tickets for the 54th annual series (set for July 1 through Aug. 15) went on sale in early March, and the season preview promises everything festival regulars have come to expect from what Music Director Donald Runnicles has called “the best-kept secret in classical music.”

But at the same time, Executive Director Andrew Palmer Todd said, the institution also continues to work to change, grow and stay ahead of audience expectations. In 2015 that includes even more affordable ticket options (such as $15 rush tickets and free admission for students for every concert), intimate onstage seating for two opening-week events, and efforts to bring the festival to the people with short programs planned for in-town galleries.

“They’ll be right after work,” he said of events planned for Deihl Gallery and Tayloe Piggott Gallery, “so people can ooze right on over from work or wherever they are. … They’ll mix, they’ll mingle, they’ll have a glass of wine and then get to listen to 30 minutes or so of music.”

This year’s fest begins July 1 with guest pianist Denis Kozhukhin performing a solo recital of Haydn, Brahms, Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev for about 100 ticket-holders gathered around him on the stage at Walk Festival Hall.

On July 2, Broadway star Doug LaBrecque (“The Phantom of the Opera,” “Showboat,” “Les Miserable”) will in a similar format perform songs by

Jackson Hole Wine Auction tickets on sale, too Tickets also have gone on sale for the Grand Teton Music Festival’s biggest fundraiser of the year: the Jackson Hole Wine Auction, set for June 25-27.

Over the years the auction has raised millions for the festival’s operations and outreach, alternating yearly between huge gala events and smaller-scale weekends.

“But we’ve learned from guests and participants that they all want to be part of the big years,” said GTMF Special Events Coordinator Megan Gallagher.

So from now on each year’s auction will include the four big events that have made the auction the destination wine benefit it has become over the past 20 years: the Grand Wine Tasting, featuring a panel of vintners and owners (5 p.m., June 25; $150 per ticket), the locals’ favorite Taste of Jackson Hole, held at the top of the Bridger Gondola (6 p.m. June 26; $125), private dinners featuring star chefs and select wineries preparing multi-course feasts in a handful of beautiful homes (7 p.m., June 26; $1,000), and the Auction and Gala Dinner held under a massive tent on the Snake River Ranch with scores of superlative wines and Gershwin, Porter and other composers from the Golden Age of American popular music with pianist Pam Phillips, festival percussionist Richard Brown and bassist Marty Camino.

“It’s going to be like a club,” Todd said. “It’s all about experimenting with different formats … trying to entice people to try things.”

And while the exclusivity of the on-stage events suggests they might price out many Jacksonites, tickets cost just $25.

Kozhukhin returns July 3 for the first orchestral program of the season, led by Maestro Runnicles and featuring Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3, along with “Finlandia” by Sibelius (whose 150th birthday is observed this year) and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 1. And July Fourth will bring Runnicles and LaBrecque back to Walk Hall for the festival’s annual free Music in the Hole program of patriotic favorites.

The rest of the season follows the

one-of-a-kind experiences up for live and silent bidding (4:30 p.m., June 27, $750).

Building off past success, the auction has welcomed back noted wine writer Matt Kramer to moderate the wine tasting.

“He knows the winemakers,” Gallagher said, “knows the wine, and he’s a great moderator. He knows the questions to ask … and takes the discussion a little deeper.”

Drew Nieporent, the restaurateur behind such establishments as Nobu and Batard, has been involved with the auction since the beginning and now holds the title of culinary director, tracking down and helping to secure the participation of the other guest chefs and winemakers, which this year includes three chefs new to the event.

Rather than sending out reply cards as in the past, this year the auction is selling tickets primarily online. Gallagher said sales are already off to a strong start.

“We sold out all events last year,” she said.

“People who got burned are aware of that and are jumping” on tickets early.

Go to JHWineAuction.com for information and to buy tickets. festival’s usual mode of operation. Tuesdays feature free, one-hour “Inside the Music” programs, in which a host and festival players introduce audiences to a musical personality, concept or era.

This year’s schedule includes three “GTMF Presents” programs, with fiddle master Mark O’Connor returning to Teton Village on July 22, classical guitarist Pablo Villegas playing a tango concert Aug. 4, and harmonica man Corky Siegel playing “chamber blues” Aug. 12.

Thursdays are again musicians’ choice programs, which often result in thrilling mixes of well-known chamber classics as well as works and composers that might be new to audiences.

And Fridays and Saturdays bring together the entire orchestra — a singular ensemble consisting of players from across the country, many of them principals of their home orchestras — for works by everyone from Beethoven and Mahler to Bernstein and Copland.

Runnicles will lead four of these programs, including the season closer, dubbed “Jubilation” and presenting an appropriately climactic showcase of works by Vaughan Williams, Tchaikovsky, Respighi and Mozart’s “Exsultate, Jubilate,” featuring soprano Jane Archibald.

The remaining three weekends will be handed over to an impressive trio of guest conductors: the Philadelphia Orchestra’s rising star Cristian Macelaru (July 17-18), the worldly Dutch conductor Edo de Waart (July 31 and Aug. 1) and the Minnesota Orchestra’s Finnish leader Osmo Vanska (Aug. 7-8).

Along with guest conductors, each week will also bring guest soloists, including mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor and tenor Simon O’Neill singing Mahler’s “The Song of the Earth” (July 10-11) and the return of James Ehnes, whom Todd called one of the top three or four violinists in the world, playing Brahms’ Violin Concerto (July 24-25).

Alisa Weilerstein will solo on Dvorak’s Cello Concerto with Macelaru, Gregory Raden will play Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto with de Waart, and 24-year-old Uzbek wonder Behzod Abduraimov will perform the substantial piano part of Rachmaninoff’s “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini” with Vanska.

The Grand Teton Music Festival seeks to raise the cultural bar in Jackson Hole, Todd said, and the nonprofit has spent a lot of time over the past year thinking about what more it can do. Variety, accessibility and reduced ticket prices are part of that plan, but Todd hinted at more to come in the fall and winter. Ideas include a couple of three- or fourday mini festivals with programs for the schools; staging events in unexpected venues such as the Pink Garter or even the Snake River Brewing Company (Bach, he observed, was sometimes paid in beer); and maybe some holiday programming.

But first it’s got 30 summer concerts to execute. Information and tickets can be found at GTMF.org/ summerevent.

Denny Emory, of Jackson, and his sister, Cally Golding, of Ohio, took a 2012 walking tour on the Camino Santiago del Norte in Spain, pictured above. That was the first of two walking tours the pair did. Emory will talk about their adventures at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the rec center meeting room.

More Events, Briefly Resident talks about walking Longtime valley resident and selfproclaimed “Jack-of-all-trades” Denny Emory will regale attendees of the next Armchair Adventure Series talk with tales of two recent European walking tours.

Emory will share details as well as pictures of his adventures at 6:30 p.m.

Thursday in the recreation center’s meeting room.

A Jackson Hole resident since 1972, Emory has been a kayak racer, fisherman, ocean sailor and architect. He discovered walking tours in 2012 when he and his sister, Cally Golding, of Athens, Ohio, embarked on a 132-mile, 13-day walk on the Camino Santiago del Norte across the top of northern Spain.

Golding was about to have a major birthday, Emory said, and after seeing the 2010 film “The Way” — featuring Martin Sheen walking the Camino Santiago — decided that she wanted to walk it, too.

Brother and sister did the guided, supported walk with 16 others.

“Supported means you have the help of an outfitting company that transports your luggage along the way, from one bed and breakfast to the next,” Emory said.

Emory said he and Golding were hooked after that walk and booked another in 2013 that took them on a 100mile walk through Wales. That trip was a self-guided, supported one. They have scheduled a third walking tour of the Dingle Peninsula in southwestern Ireland for later this year.

Talks on stopping teen violence The Community Safety Network will hold two events for parents to help prevent teen violence and create healthy relationships.

The guest speaker at each event will be Jeffrey S. Bucholtz, founder of We End Violence.

The first Agents of Change discussion will be held at 7:30 p.m. today in the Jackson Hole High School auditorium. Parents and other caring adults are invited to learn about the real dangers teens face now and when they leave home.

The second event will take place at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at Cutty’s Bar and Grille. It will include free pizza and a beverage. Called “Guy’s Night Out.” The talk will revolve around the topic of relationship and sexual violence, primarily perpetrated by men. Teen boys and girls need men in their lives to be crucial role models, according to a release.

For information visit CSNJH.org.

Archeology lecture set Matt Stirn and Rebecca Sgouros, co-

directors of the Jackson Hole Archaeology Initiative, will give a public lecture at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum on North Cache.

At the “Voices of the Valley” event, the pair will discuss their two eightday archaeology fieldwork trips in the Tetons last summer. They found 30 new archeological sites, some dating back 10,500 years and others as recent as 1,000 years, in Grand Teton National Park and the Caribou-Targhee National Forest.

Last October they spoke about their significant findings at the historical society.

“It will cover a lot of what we spoke about this past fall,” Stirn said, “but we also have some exciting new information regarding the wood we found melting out of an ice patch. One of them actually turned out to be a 3,000-yearold artifact.”

The Jackson Hole Archaeology Initiative is headquartered in the historic Coey Cabin, the log structure on West Mercill Avenue owned by the historical society.

Artist points out stereotypes of the West Who: Artist June Glasson What: ‘Equality States’ opening reception When: 5:30-7 p.m. Friday Where: Theater Lobby at Center for the Arts How much: Free

By Frances Moody

W

hen people think of the American West, many imagine old-timey saloons, cowboys and wide-open landscapes.

Laramie resident June Glasson is fascinated with such notions of the West, which is why she created “Equality States,” a collection of Westernthemed paintings, collages and mixed-media sculptures.

The exhibit will have an opening reception from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Friday in the theater lobby at the Center for the Arts.

“Anyone who lives outside the West hears this story of the American West,” Glasson said. “It’s epic, grand and visual. There’s this one dominant narrative of the cowboy, West and ruggedness, but there are also untold stories that aren’t heard about.”

“Equality States” combines the cowboy stereotypes and the untold stories.

For example, Glasson’s sketch “Buffalo Face” uses Western-themed images such as leather and the buffalo to rebel against portrayals of women in history. Females are often depicted as fragile characters. In Glasson’s works they are seen as strong and independent.

“I try to create women

“Blood will Tell,” from June Glasson’s exhibit “Equality States,” compares developed land with undeveloped land. An opening reception for the exhibit, which looks at Western stereotypes, will be held 5:30-7 p.m. Friday at the Theater Lobby at the Center for the Arts.

who play with and challenge our notions of how women should behave and be seen,” Glasson said.

The artist’s sketch, which

is based on images from a photo shoot Glasson staged in Laramie, shows the rugged side of women.

“As part of my art practice

and as a way of creating source material for my work I often stage photo shoots where I invite my girlfriends and women from the community to dress

up and engage in ‘unladylike’ behavior,” Glasson said.

In addition to fighting the stigma that women are weak and played no role in the shaping of the West, Glasson also wants to change how people view the terrain’s landscape.

Seen as empty and untouched by mankind, the West’s landscape is often painted as wide-open spaces lush with nature. Glasson’s “Rounds,” a series of landscapes, shows the inhabited side of the frontier and the untouched side of it.

Some are of oil tanks located in the middle of nowhere. Others are of mountainsides free of development.

“I was thinking a lot about the romanticized idea of the frontier ... and the history of this landscape and how it was never ‘empty,’” she said. “I was also thinking about the idea of progress and our need as humans to develop/push forward toward a horizon that we never quite reach.”

Glasson is from the East Coast but moved to Wyoming because she was drawn to its scenery, she said.

She said the exhibit shows her viewpoint as an outsider, someone who romanticizes the Great American West, but it also depicts her image of the West as her home.

“Coming out here in some ways it is very much home for me, which is why the show mixes the idea of home and stereotypes of the West,” Glasson said.

Highway art aims to create moments of wonder Old chairlift tower is only spot in state to feature temporary art.

By Julie Butler A big hint that you are visiting or living in a very artistic community can be found as you drive down Highway 89 toward Town Square.

Along the road, dozens of artists’ creative visions have risen skyward since 2007.

The original location at the corner of the highway and Scott Lane was formerly occupied by a Chevron gas station. For a number of years all that remained of the fueling spot was the old steel sign, left standing there on the side of the road, wrapped in black plastic.

After driving past the abandoned pole hundreds of times, Jackson artist Bland Hoke saw that signpost as an opportunity for creative expression. So he took it upon himself to design a public art display and dubbed it ArtSpot.

“It was easy to turn an eyesore into asset,” Hoke, artist-in-residence for Jackson Hole Public Art, said. “I put out a call for artists through the Art Association for temporary art projects and that’s how it began.”

After a few years the original struc-

ture was taken down. Hoke was interested in producing another one. He turned a decommissioned chairlift tower, donated by Jackson Hole Mountain

Resort, into a steel design that he feels is reflective of Jackson’s environment and found a place for it next to Jackson Hole Whitewater.

The spot is the only venue in Wyoming dedicated to the public display of temporary art projects, according to Jackson Hole Public Art’s website.

The Center of Wonder is the administrator of the project. Hoke was previously the organization’s public art ambassador.

New installations are revealed numerous times a year, although the last one — by Minneapolis artist Randy Walker — was up for a year and a half.

On Feb. 23 Hoke’s site-specific installation called “Sun Glitter” was unveiled.

The work of art was produced using fishing lures and stainless steel planetoid shapes designed to spin in the wind to create a twinkling effect.

The project was commissioned by the Center of Wonder for its UpYard show which features artwork reflecting our valley’s night sky.

“We are thrilled with Bland’s new installation,” Lyndsay McCandless, executive director of the center, said. “At the opening for ‘Our UpYard’ art show a few weeks ago, people were encouraged to help fold, bend and twist the objects into shapes that Bland incorporated into the installation.”

To McCandless, “Sun Glitter” evokes

moments of wonder.

“Memories of aspen leaves quaking, light glimmering on water and snow shimmering in the air,” McCandless said of the work. “And if one takes the time to walk to it — instead of driving past — you can hear it spinning and tinkling.”

“Sun Glitter” is a small-scale version of a larger project Hoke is working on in Norfolk, Virginia, called “Scope.” That project uses the same glittering objects to imitate the night sky, Hoke said.

After “Sun Glitter” is removed in June, the components will be reinstalled atop the dome of Scope, where they will “spin in perpetuity amidst thousands of additional flashy shapes,” McCandless said.

The Center of Wonder has re-branded the ArtSpot as the WonderSpot.

“An average of 30,000 people a day drive past this location, and we feel that it is an amazing opportunity to highlight artists that are creating wonder in our every day,” McCandless said.

The center is accepting proposals for future WonderSpot installations. A stipend is available.

For information call McCandless at 413-1800 or email lyndsay@centerofwonder.org.

Photographer to describe Cuba

Dates set for Fall Arts Festival

For Teton Photography Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wild in the Street: Photography of Cuba,â&#x20AC;? part-time Jackson resident Michael Cohen will discuss street photography techniques and show his photographs from Cuba.

The free event will be from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Monday at the Art Association.

Most Americans have been unable to visit Cuba since the U.S. imposed an embargo on the island in 1962. But in recent months the U.S. government has attempted to improve relations with the Cuban people.

Cohen, who was able to travel to the island, will discuss how U.S. relations with Cuba have eased. He will also talk about what life is like in Cuba and how the country views Americans.

Cohen will display his photos and explain how street photography is the best way to show how a culture operates because the photos are not posed and are taken in the public spaces citizens frequent on a day-to-day basis.

The 2015 Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival will take place Sept. 10-20.

Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular art festival will have a long lineup of events such as gallery walks, architecture tours and the Jackson Town Square QuickDraw.

Nat Geo writer to share Vietnam spelunking Who: Mark Jenkins What: ‘Vietnam Underground: The Viet Cong, Spelunkers and the Biggest Cave on Earth’ When: 3 p.m. Sunday Where: Teton County Library How much: Free Web: TCLib.org

By Julie Butler Climbing into a cave is not the easiest thing to do under the best of circumstances.

When said cave may be the largest in the world and no other human being has ever attempted to explore what lies within, well, that offers reason for pause.

Five years ago that was the situation Laramie resident Mark Jenkins was voluntarily faced with.

A National Geographic contributing writer, Jenkins had been invited by the magazine to travel to Vietnam and be one of the first people to descend into the “Mount Everest of caves,” he said.

“I am not a caver, I am a climber,” Jenkins told the News&Guide. “I can manage in caves, though, so when National Geographic learned of that they said, ‘OK, the guy’s a caver, too. Let’s send him to this giant, unexplored cave in Vietnam.’”

Last year Jenkins spoke at the Center for the Arts about the origins of skiing. He returns to town to share his incredible spelunking experience at 3 p.m. Sunday at Teton County Library.

The presentation, replete with 140 photographs, will not only cover caving, but also the recent history and culture of Vietnam.

This program is part of the World to Wyoming series sponsored by University of Wyoming Academic Affairs and Global Studies, as well as Teton County Library.

In addition to writing for National Geographic, Jenkins is the writer-inresidence at the University of Wyoming.

He has written hundreds of stories about his adventures, with topics ranging from land mines in Cambodia, gorillas in Eastern Congo, the loss of koalas in Australia, global warming in Greenland, ethnic cleansing in Burma and climbing Mount Everest in Nepal.

Jenkins has completed more than 50 expeditions in this country and abroad.

He was the second American to as-

The entrance to a small cave — believe it or not — leads to Hang Son Doong, the largest cave in the world. Hang Son Doong’s entrance measures 300 feet wide and 600 feet tall. National Geographic contributing writer Mark Jenkins of Laramie was one of the first people to descend the cave, in 2010.

cend Xixabangma in Tibet. He was also a member of the 1986 U.S. Everest North Face Expedition and a member of the first-ascent team of the highest peaks in the Arctic Circle. He was the first to accomplish a coast-to-coast crossing of the Soviet Union by bicycle in 1989, and was part of the first team to descend the Niger River in West Africa and to ascend the south face of Canada’s Mount Waddington.

“I love exploration,” Jenkins said. “I grew up experiencing the Huck Finn life here in Wyoming. I grew up hunting and fishing with my dad, and those sports then became mountaineering

and hiking.

“I still feel that drive I did as a little boy, with a fundamental curiosity about the planet,” he said.

Every three months he is asked to go on assignment to various places in the world. Last fall he traveled to Burma, and in May he will find himself exploring Iceland.

“Most of the stories I am sent to cover or write about are my ideas,” he said, “but not in this case.”

The Vietnam trip came about after a team of British cavers — who had done 13 caving expeditions in Vietnam — went into the entrance of Hang Son

Doong cave and felt it was probably the biggest one in the world, Jenkins said.

Jenkins said they called National Geographic and asked if the magazine had a writer who could accompany them on this maiden caving mission.

“The longest cave in the world is in Kentucky,” Jenkins said. “It is called Mammoth Cave and measures 67 miles of passage. The deepest is Krubera Cave in Georgia — it is 7,000 feet deep.

The largest is measured by the circumference of the passage — basically, how big the hole is from ceiling to floor.”

Hang Son Doong’s entrance was measured by the Brits as 300 feet wide and 600 feet tall.

“You could put all of Jackson inside this cave,” Jenkins said. “You could easily put a skyscraper in there. It is just stunning.”

The team of explorers consisted of 10 cavers, 20 to 30 porters, one geologist from the United States and another from Vietnam. The group spent a week underground exploring the colossal cave — in the dark, save for headlamps.

“One of the challenges is it’s strange to live in darkness,” Jenkins said. “You can’t do anything without a headlamp — without one you can’t see your hand in front of your face. You are living off your watch without sunlight. Everything from taking a few steps to brushing your teeth is done with that headlamp on.”

Jenkins said everybody carried three or four backup headlamps.

“You are in trouble without light,” he said. “Light is life in a cave.”

A highlight of the underground trek was when they walked into a section where they were greeted by a hole in the top of the cave. The opening allowed sunshine to stream down, lacing the darkness with unexpected light. Jenkins called it “a tiny oasis,” complete with trees, birds, bugs and butterflies, all possible because of the sunlight and rain the hole accommodated.

The program won’t only include exploring the cave. It will also cover the geography, history and culture of Vietnam, including the Vietnam War. The writer said that during his presentation people will be surprised to learn facts about a place very few have been to before.

Admission is free. Visit TCLib.org for information.

Barlow to diagnose American economy’s ‘tumor’ Who: John Perry Barlow What: Startup Grind presentation When: 6 p.m. today Where: Dakota Room at Amangani How much: $30, $98 with dinner Web: StartupGrind.com/jackson-hole

By Richard Anderson In 1999 FutureBanker Magazine named John Perry Barlow one of the 25 most influential people in financial services.

“Even though I wasn’t in the financial services,” he told the News&Guide, speaking from California.

He was, however, deeply interested in the Internet and information economics, virtual community, electronic cash and other such futuristic ideas that he wrote about extensively for The New York Times, Wired and anyone else willing to pay attention.

“What I was actually doing in the process is [helping to grow] what I now refer to as the tumor,” the 67-year-old Jackson Hole native said, “that is to say a large, highly metastasizing growth on the American economy. Like a tumor it’s

sucking away all the energetic inputs that would maintain our food, clothing, housing … and creating this thing that wields an enormous amount of something that looks like money but can only be used for hookers, blow and Lamborghinis.”

The former Cora c a t t l e rancher and Grateful Dead lyricist will talk about that tumor — its Barlow causes, its effects and its treatments — tonight at Amangani.

Barlow is the second speaker of the new Startup Grind series, a project of Google for Entrepreneurs that now has chapters in some 150 cities, including, as of February, Jackson Hole. He will speak and answer questions from the audience — a cozy gathering of 50 or so — starting at 6 p.m. in the Dakota Room of the East Gros Ventre Butte resort.

Tickets cost $30 for the fireside chat, $98 for the talk and

dinner.

“John Perry Barlow recognizes that there is a difference between information and experience,” states his biography on the website for the European Graduate School in Switzerland, where he served as a professor of cyberspace, “and he vastly prefers the latter.”

And he has acquired an impressive collection. Born in 1947 on the site of Browse ’N Buy, he said, he was raised on his family ranch near Cora — “the last place you can pick up mail before you head into the true headwaters of Colorado water.” He studied comparative religion at Wesleyan University and in 1971 returned to Wyoming to run the family business.

That same year he began his long association with the Grateful Dead and, specifically, guitarist Bob Weir, with whom he wrote such songs as “Cassidy,” “Mexicali Blues,” “Estimated Prophet,” “Hell in a Bucket” and “Throwing Stones.”

“As it turned out, a whole lot of stuff that takes place on a ranch” — pairing a cow with

a calf, picking up hay bales, getting water to flow down one ditch without its neighbor running dry — “takes up just the right amount of your mind … and provides a nice open space where songs can just be fit in.”

It’s possible Barlow will talk about those days.

“My preference is to have a conversation,” he said.

But mostly he expects to talk about “the extent to which we have been seduced as a society, as a species, into a number of delusions,” he said.

“Our response is to pretend to be asleep, and as the Navajo say, it’s impossible to awaken someone who’s pretending to be asleep.”

Specifically, he mentioned how high-speed Internet trading allows those with sufficient technology to tap the Internet and make millions of dollars in seconds.

“That’s what’s going on on Wall Street,” he said. “Ninetyfive percent of the money that’s being made by the people who have come into Jackson Hole since I was born there is at the present being made by using that method.”

That might not be a problem if it didn’t distract many from making money “the old fashioned way,” he said: building things, growing things, innovating, taking steps needed to preserve to real basis of the global economy, the environment. In that group he includes his Algae Systems, which is figuring out how to turn sewage into fuel that actually has a net-negative carbon footprint.

Barlow spoke of a good friend, “a wonderful man,” who today is one of the top wealth managers for high-end individuals at a major banking institution.

“He said, ‘Look, I know I’m the enemy,’” Barlow said. “‘Everything I do is rotten. What do you want me to do about it?

Stop?’ The only way to beat it, the only way to make it so they just don’t do that, is to have a system that makes more money doing it the other way.”

Film follows 1960s ‘women’s lib’ movement Who: Filmmaker Jennifer Lee What: Screening of ‘Feminist: Stories from Women’s Liberation,’ filmmaker Q&A When: 6 p.m. Thursday Where: Teton County Library How much: Free Web: TCLib.org, FeministStories.com

By Frances Moody Jennifer Lee’s quest to make a film about the women’s liberation movement began when her co-worker whispered the question: Are you a feminist?

Lee knew the answer was yes, but she didn’t know how to explain why, so she set out to make the documentary “Feminist: Stories from Women’s Liberation.”

Lee’s film depicting memories from the feminist movement from 1963 to 1970 will be screened at 6 p.m.

Thursday in the Ordway Auditorium at Teton County Library.

Like the whispers of Lee’s co-worker, a lot of information on the movement is not out in the open.

Wanting to know more, but not aware of how to find facts, Lee started calling people who lived before and during the start of modern-day feminism.

Her first phone call was to her mother.

“I asked her what was different back then,” Lee said. “She said she remembered looking in the female help-wanted section of the classifieds.”

The job postings for women were often for lower-level positions with lower-paying salaries.

Lee’s journey continued from there. She started interviewing women who played significant roles in the crusade for women’s equal rights.

She talked with Betty Friedan, author of “The Feminine Mystique,” the book that is often referred to as the

An old employment ad speaks volumes. When Jennifer Lee set out to make a movie about the feminist movement she asked her mother how life was different for women during the ’60s and ’70s. Her mother recalled that helpwanted ads in the paper separated male jobs from female jobs.

catalyst of women’s liberation.

Lee also filmed Frances M. Beal, co-founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee’s Black Women’s Liberation Committee.

In the documentary Beal talks about the movements that overlapped during the late ’60s.

The civil rights movement was going on, and so were protests against the Vietnam War. Lee said Beal describes how race, class and gender oppression related to one another back then. Lee said they still relate to one another today.

In fact, the more Lee discovered about women’s liberation, the more she noticed how many things have yet to change.

Women are still fighting for equal pay, and the U.S. has yet to have a woman serve as president.

While Lee believes the Civil Rights Act and campaigns such as

the one for equal pay for women are important, she chose to focus her documentary particularly on female role models.

“When you look at dollar bills, do you ever see a female face on them?” she said. “There’s a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin and a Sacagawea one, but they are no longer in circulation.”

Lee said it is important for young women to know that women played a major part in U.S. history.

Despite the negative image of the bra-burning feminist, she said, there are several women who called themselves feminists who are worth looking up to.

And now, if she were asked the same question her co-worker asked years ago, Lee would have a different answer.

“I would say ‘yes’ out loud, and then I would give a list of reasons why,” she said.

Lee’s documentary, “Feminist: Stories from Women’s Liberation,” will be shown Thursday evening at Teton County Library.

“Feminist: Stories from Women’s Liberation” will be shown to celebrate National Women’s History Month.

Lee will be at the screening and will answer questions afterward.

She has been making feature films since 1987 and has worked on movies such as “Hook,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl” and “Forrest Gump.”

Lee said her experience working in Hollywood has helped shape her documentary-making career because she always tries to create a narrative that will capture the true stories she depicts.

ThinkWy to look at the place of art in nature, health Who: Tina Welling and Jen Simon What: ThinkWy Gathering When: 5-7 p.m. Thursday Where: Pink Garter Theatre How much: Free

By Frances Moody Tina Welling feels art and the natural world are linked. Jen Simon believes art speeds healing.

The two women will speak about the part that art plays in their lives at Wyoming Humanities Council’s next ThinkWy Gathering.

A free event designed to connect Jackson Hole’s innovative thinkers, ThinkWy will be from 5 to 7 p.m.

Thursday at the Pink Garter Theatre.

“What we want to do is learn about what other people are doing,” said Emy diGrappa, Wyoming Humanities Council’s community outreach director.

Welling’s lecture “Creativity ... Lessons from Nature” takes ideas from her book “Writing Wild: Forming a Creative Partnership with Nature.”

Welling started writing the book years ago.

“The book is the result of 13 years of studying the connection between the natural world and our own creative energy,” she said.

When Welling first started writing, she struggled.

“I was at the place of stopping,” Welling said. “I hadn’t found any publications for my writing. I hadn’t won any competitions.”

So Welling decided to define why she wanted to become a writer. She concluded that the creativity she felt while writing made her feel alive. That’s when she began to realize how nature affects her writing.

“I needed to let go of outcomes like the way a tree does when it drops its pine cones,” Welling said. “I began to find more and more going on.”

Once she shed her doubts and disappointments, Welling was able to improve her writing.

“I could write better because I turned it into an organic rhythm,” she said.

At ThinkWy Welling will outline what she learned during her more than decade-long journey. She said the most important thing for people to recognize is cre-

ativity’s relationship with nature.

“The connection is the natural world is the macrocosm and our personal creative energy is the microcosm,” Welling said. “You can learn about the larger pattern by studying the smaller, vice versa.”

Simon’s job also revolves around the artistic process. As vice president of St. John’s Hospital Foundation, Simon helps St. John’s Medical Center’s art committee select the art that will decorate the hospital.

Recently the committee added a painting by prominent valley artist Amy Ringholz. Its other new piece is an installation designed by Bronwyn Minton, another well-known artist.

Simon said the foundation uses nationally recognized criteria as a guide for adding healing art.

For her ThinkWy talk she will talk about how art helps heal. She plans to discuss new research on the importance of art in hospitals and the effect art has on people who spend a lot of time at the hospital.

“It lowers anxiety and stress, creates a sense of community and can help people navigate hospitals more easily,” Simon said.

Titled “New Discoveries on the Infusions of Arts and Culture in Promoting Community Health and Wellness,” Simon’s speech will show that art can affect clinical outcomes.

“Bottom line: people heal faster,” she said.

Michael Palmer, standing, plays the title character in Actors from the London Stage’s production of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” That’s his only role, but his fellow thespians in the traveling troupe — Charles Armstrong, Joanna Bending, Ben Warwick and Annie Aldington — will each perform several parts. The show starts at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Center Theater at the Center for the Arts. About 200 of the 500 free tickets are still available.

Who: Actors from the London Stage What: Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ When: 7 p.m. Thursday Where: Center Theater, Center the Center for the Arts How much: Free Web: JHCenterForTheArts.org

By Frances Moody

A

trio of witches who make a “fire burn and cauldron bubble,” a woman who cannot scrub the blood of murder from her hands and a king who is haunted by the ghost of his friend turned foe: William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” has a long list of iconic roles, and the five British performers who make up Actors from the London Stage are all too happy to play the 20-plus characters in the well-known tragedy.

When the traveling troupe brings its adaptation of “Macbeth” to Jackson, bringing their adaptation of “Macbeth” to Jackson, four of the five actors will play more than one role The show starts at 7 p.m.

Thursday in the Center Theater at the Center for the Arts.

Free tickets for the production can be obtained online at JHCenterForTheArts.org. As of Tuesday about 200 of the 500 tickets were still available.

“We have taken it to the minimal,” said Michael Palmer, who plays Macbeth. “What we exclusively and primarily have is the play, five actors and a set that can be packed into one suitcase.”

Palmer said the troupe is paying homage to the original showings of Macbeth. When

Shakespeare’s tale of the Scottish thane who becomes king by way of murder was first performed in the early 1600s, its actors relied exclusively on the Bard’s writing.

“Shakespeare was painting pictures with words,” Palmer said. “Some modern productions will paint that picture with a great set or fabulous costumes.

We are reverting back to the actual beauty of the lines, the images and poetry within those words.”

Unlike his fellow actors Palmer will not switch from character to character for Thursday’s performance. Although he plays only Macbeth, he feels the character has plenty of personalities to portray.

“It’s a combination of incredibly famous speeches and massive scenes,” Palmer said. “At times he is evil. At times he is a philosopher. At times he is ultravain. At times he is frightened, and at times he is murderous.”

He said his part in “Macbeth” is more strenuous than playing eight characters.

“He never stops talking,” Palmer said. “Trying to figure out what the hell he is going on about is exhausting.”

Joanna Bending, on the other hand, plays a witch, Lady Macduff and several male characters.

“It’s funny the way this process works, but somehow it does,” Bending said. “I mainly play men. I naturally just throw myself into these different characters.”

While many people might think that having one actor

playing different roles could be confusing, Bending believes the opposite.

“Normally when you see ‘Macbeth,’ you have scenes and scenes at the castle or battlefield where you have 20 extra soldiers, as opposed to literally the three people who speak, which is all we have,” she said.

“There is a great clarity that comes through that.”

Annie Aldington, Charles Armstrong and Ben Warwick will also take stage as part of Actors from the London Stage’s rendition of “Macbeth.”

An educational program developed in 1975, Actors from the London Stage is based in London and at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. The program sends professional actors to different places to serve as artists-in-residence.

Palmer, Bending, Aldington, Armstrong and Warwick just spent the past week at the University of Wyoming, where they led workshops and performed “Macbeth” twice.

Palmer and Bending agree that one thing they love about their job is that they get to travel to locations they never thought they would go.

“Being able to come to these amazingly diverse, beautiful places is such a blessing,” Bending said.

An avid skier, Bending is excited to visit Jackson and hit the slopes.

“I’ve wanted to go there my entire life,” she said.

Gather ’round to observe Pi Day on Saturday March 14, 2015, will roll around this weekend and calls for you to bring home your favorite pie.

By Richard Anderson It’s irrational and transcendent, infinite, resplendent. It’s the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its radius, better known as π or pi.

Roughly, the numerical value is 3.14. The fraction 22/7 also is frequently used. But in fact π cannot be represented with a whole number numerator and denominator (which is why it’s called “irrational” in mathematics), and 3.14 doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of this endless series of numbers.

But 3.14 is a pretty good start, and it also can be used to represent a date — March 14 — which is Saturday. Math geeks around the world have been noting the calendrical holiday for who knows how long, but in 2009 the U.S. House of Representatives supported some form of official designation of Pi Day. This year’s Pi Day is a special one.

Because this is the year 2015, Saturday’s date can be denoted 3.14.15, thus adding two more digits to the number. You could take it a couple steps further and blow your special Pi Day noisemaker at 9:26:53 a.m. and/or p.m., for a whopping 10 digits of pi precision. And if you had an atomic clock handy, you might be able to program it to note the nanosecond (one billionth of a second) for

The number pi, 3.14, also can denote a date — March 14 — which is Saturday.

an additional nine digits.

But none of that comes close to the accuracy with which the ratio has been calculated, which when last checked stood at around 13.3 trillion digits.

Why bother? For no really good reason, actually. Laurentius Marais, vice president and principal consultant for William E. Wecker Associates, an applied mathematical and statistical consulting firm in Jackson, said a lot of it just comes down to the intellectual challenge of it — a challenge that dates back to ancient Greece, Egypt and Babylon.

“Not every lay person in the world realizes there are these irrational

and transcendental numbers whose exact values we can’t write down,” he said. “We can prove they never end, we have formulas whose results are the value of pi, but no system, say, the decimal system, can ever perfectly capture with exact precision that number.”

Statisticians and physicists find pi showing all over the place, Marais said. There are various esoteric applications, and it’s a good test for supercomputers, but for practical purposes 3.14159 is plenty of pi, and even for the most arcane scientific purposes, 40 digits does the job.

So how does one celebrate Pi Day? “I definitely bring pie,” said Jack-

son Hole High School geometry teacher Susan Mick, who will have to mark the date on Friday, since Pi Day falls on a Saturday this year, “and I also usually have some pirelated activities related to circles, obviously.”

But on Saturday, she said, members of the district’s math departments will convene at Cutty’s to eat something circular. (Pizza, anyone?)

The adult Pi Day party will start at 6 p.m. — Mick couldn’t say how many would make it to 9:26 — and all fans of the number are invited to join.

School district math teachers aren’t the only ones who celebrate Pi Day, apparently. Zach Jones, manager of the bakery at Albertsons, said over the past few years the grocery store has been sure to stock up on pies for the occasion.

“On some of them we write ‘Happy Pi Day,’” said Jones, who estimated the story sells about 50 percent more pies on Pi Day than on other days.

Some party poopers will note that Pi Day is a phenomenon limited only to those countries that abbreviate their calendrical dates in a month-day-year order. In much of the world the order is day-monthyear. Too bad for them, because they’re missing out on an opportunity to celebrate math, history and the always-compelling order of the natural world. Maybe they’ll have their party on July 22, rendered 22/7 according to their method.

CLASSIFIEDS

f the North Koreans hired an inspired and gutsy director, gave him tens of millions of dollars for a budget and could somehow persuade Academy Award winners Colin Firth and Michael Caine to headline the cast, they might have come up with something like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kingsman: The Secret Serviceâ&#x20AC;? as an answer to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Interview.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a compliment to both films.

Yes, this film is about a super-secret society of British agents with the selfappointed task of saving the world from evildoers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a relentless, hardcore spoof of the old-school James Bond movies and their sexist attitudes and lunatic plots; self-aggrandizing billionaires who think they know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for the world; preachy environmentalists; a certain kind of American church that invokes the name of God while preaching hatred and intolerance; and it has two visual references to President Obama, one mildly offensive and the other so over-the-top tasteless it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be taken seriously.

This is the craziest movie Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in a long time, and I just sat through â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jupiter Ascendingâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seventh Sonâ&#x20AC;? last week. The difference between those two deadly bombs and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kingsman: The Secret Serviceâ&#x20AC;? is the latter never takes itself seriously, announcing itself as a hard-R parody from the get-go and keeping us in the joke throughout.

On day one of filming they must have thrown away the moral compass and taken a group vow to splatter our sensibilities with stylish, gratuitous violence and one â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wait, what?!â&#x20AC;? moment after another.

Looking trim and fit in his bespoke suits and oversized glasses, Colin Firth looks like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing the typical Colin Firth part as Harry Hart, aka Galahad, a senior agent with the mysterious Kingsmen. Harry may look and sound as though he spends more time at headquarters than in the field, but when a band of thugs tests his mettle in a British pub Harry locks the doors, turns around, takes out his umbrella â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and goon blood and goon teeth start flying.

From that point forward, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kingsman: The Secret Serviceâ&#x20AC;? plays like an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Austin Powersâ&#x20AC;? movie if it were directed by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kill Bill Vol. 1â&#x20AC;?-era Quentin Tarantino. Director Matthew Vaughn (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kick-Ass,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;X-Men: First Classâ&#x20AC;?) has a ballet-dancer-with-a-machete style thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly suited for a loose adaptation of the Mark Millar-Dave Gibbons spy comic book series.

(In the comic book, terrorists abduct Mark Hamill, an environmental scien-

tist. In the movie the real Mark Hamill plays the scientist, now dubbed Professor Arnold.)

Taron Egerton, who looks like the lead singer for a boy band and wears an unfortunate array of hats and caps through much of the film, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eggsyâ&#x20AC;? Unwin, the obligatory smart, talented,undisciplined young buck recruited by Hart to become the next Kingsman. After an entertaining but too-long series of sequences in which various candidates are weeded out, the real (and really sick) fun begins.

Samuel L. Jackson plays Valentine, a megalomaniacal multibillionaire who wears baseball caps tilted slightly sideways, speaks with a lisp and is convinced he can save the planet if only he can get various world leaders and global celebrities to sign on with the plan.

(Jackson seems to be sending up Russell Simmons, but the performance is so broad and so ridiculous that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine Simmons being offended.) After seeing Jackson cameo as Nick Fury in so many Marvel Universe vehicles, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of awesome to see him sink his teeth into a Goldfinger-esque sendup.

The Algerian dancer-actress Sofia Boutella is nothing short of spectacular as Gazelle, a slice-and-dice-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em villain with two â&#x20AC;&#x153;blade runnerâ&#x20AC;? legs a la Oscar Pistorius. The scenes in which Gazelle flies through the air like a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragonâ&#x20AC;? character while cutting up her foes with all the cold efficiency of an EdgeCraft 610 Chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice Premium Electric Food Slicer are fantastically and sometimes sickeningly mesmerizing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kingsmanâ&#x20AC;? is the kind of film that uses the K.C. and the Sunshine Band pop hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give It Upâ&#x20AC;? as a counterpoint to scenes of mayhem that would feel at home in a particularly bloody episode of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Walking Dead.â&#x20AC;? When Vaughn sends up the Bond tradition of the hero bedding a formerly haughty lass as a sexist bounty for his good deeds, he does it with a scene that plays like a prologue to a porno reel.

Firth is brilliant. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing a veteran super spy in a very violent but very silly movie, but even when Harry is explaining why thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dead stuffed dog in his bathroom Firth gives a disciplined, serious performance.

Taron Egerton does a capable job of keeping up with Firth, Caine and Jackson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no small feat. Relative newcomer Sophie Cookson does fine work as Roxy, a potential romantic interest for Eggsy.

She should have been in more scenes.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very early in the year, but the bar has been set pretty high, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been bent in many a direction, for the conversation about the most wonderfully twisted movie of 2015.

A Chicago Sun-Times columnist for more than 20 years, Richard Roeper reviews movies as they hit the screen.
