Somehow Seligman never spilled his beer throughout the experimental whitewater run.

B-T’s parcel is no easy sell Third would-be buyer walks away; interest of S.R. Mills is renewed. By Ben Graham The third time was not a charm for the Bridger-Teton National Forest. The agency’s most recent attempt to sell its property in downtown Jackson fell through last week, and the future of the land remains as unclear as it was more than two years ago when it first went on the market. Questions have emerged about the soil stability of the 10-acre parcel, what can feasibly be built there and the $12 million price tag that the U.S. Forest Service has hung on the land. Real estate agent Bill Van Gelder, who is working on the deal with fellow Jackson Hole Sotheby’s International

Realty agent Jay Kornoff, said the Forest Service understands the complications. The entire situation is “atypical,” he said. The agency recognizes that “concessions” may have to be made for a sale to happen, and the price could be one of those, Van Gelder said. The land sale has grabbed community attention for years. The parcel is the largest developable tract of land in a town strapped for places to put housing. It also abuts the National Elk Refuge on one side and is just blocks from Town Square. Money from the sale is needed to build new Forest Service office space on the North Cache Street property, just adjacent to the land that is for sale. There has been keen community interest in seeing the Bridger-Teton headquarters stay in Jackson Hole since the Forest Service said it wanted to sell the land. See B-T PArCEl on 22A

Nearly two months after a student died at Van Vleck House operations at the facility are still suspended as part of a state investigation. Representatives of Teton Youth and Family Services and of the Wyoming Department of Family Services confirmed this week that the investigation has suspended most services at Van Vleck House. The department began reviewing operations at Van Vleck House and the Adams Canyon Crisis Shelter following the death of a student at Van Vleck on June 25. Police reports at the time indicated the death was not a criminal matter, but rather the result of either self-harm or an accident. Both facilities are residential placements for at-risk youth between the ages of 10 and 18. Van Vleck is a longer-term group home, while the crisis shelter accepts students for placement of up to 30 days. “This tragedy has affected us deeply and we are working harder than ever to safeguard our students from this happening again,” Teton Youth and Family Services spokeswoman Sarah Cavallaro said in a statement last week. “Our focus is on ensuring we can resume providing critical services to families in Teton and nearby counties as soon as possible.

EXPERIENCE PAYS. LET US PROVE IT.

Retired pediatric neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson made a pitch for support to some of Teton County’s most capable donors Monday night. Speaking from the lawn of a multimillion-dollar abode off Moose-Wilson Road, Carson, 63, told a crowd of about 150 people who paid $500 a head that he would drastically reduce regulations and fix the economy by instating a flat tax. “I’m open to other suggestions, but I love the idea of a proportional tax system because that’s what God thought was fair: proportionality,” Carson said. “You make $10 billion, you pay a billion. You make $10, you pay one. “You’d get rid of all the deductions and all the loopholes,” he said. The financial foundation of the U.S. economy is being destroyed, Carson told the crowd.

Mike Marshall, president of Georgia Capital and the homeowner who hosted the event, said in introducing Carson that he’s a “great uniter.” “Right now we’ve got a divider up there,” Marshall said. “I think that Ben Carson is exactly what this country needs, in my opinion, so we’re going to do everything we can to help him.” In an hourlong talk Carson quipped often, drawing frequent laughter. He said he first began to be nudged to run for presidential office after a talk he gave at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast. “I started hearing all this clamoring that I should run for president, which I thought was kind of ridiculous,” Carson said. “It never did die down. It kept building. And I started talking to a lot of people, particularly elderly Americans, who said, ‘Before I heard you speak I had given up on America and I was waiting to die.’”

Carson’s speech Monday night jumped headlong into the issue of abortion, a topic on which the national media has challenged his track record. “There’s no war on women,” Carson said. “There may be a war on the babies inside of them, but there’s no war on women. But somehow the purveyors of selfishness and division have convinced women that that baby is their enemy and deserves to be destroyed because it’s inconveniencing them.” Carson took shots at groups that enable abortion. Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, he said, was a woman who believed in eugenics and wanted to eliminate “certain people from the population, black people included. “That’s why most of their clinics are located in areas where minorities are,” Carson said.

Critic of ‘secular progressives’ A Detroit native, Carson described “secular progressives” as part of a carefully thought-out movement that’s been decades in the making. Socialists, he said, have attacked and weakened Americans’ faith and their families and are moving the country in the wrong direction. “These are things that are absolutely vitally important that the American people understand,” he said. At a time when the Dow Jones index is hovering near its highest levels ever, Carson said the United States is still recovering from recession. “There’s really no end in sight,” he said. “From 1850 to 2000 our economy grew at an average rate of 3.3 percent. From 2001 to 2014, it grew at an average rate of 1.8 percent. “Recently we’ve had some negative numbers. This is not a good situation.” A key to reversing the trend, Carson said, is addressing regulation and creating an environment that encourages “entrepreneurial risk-taking.” “We’ve got to get rid of all the regulation,” Carson said. “Not all the regulations, but the ones that are creating the big problems. Dodd-Frank, and a See Carson on 9A

Catching fish and releasing fear Retreat teaches breast cancer survivors to fly-fish as metaphor for letting go of worry.

THIS WEEK Iron chefs The Dutch oven and cast-iron cookware have gone from being essential in every kitchen to a specialty item, but outfitters everywhere say that no pot or pan produces better flavor if steps are taken to maintain it. See Valley cover.

Picnic popularity

Any fly-fisher will tell you: Don’t keep what you catch. Casting for Recovery is teaching breast cancer survivors across the country that the same sentiment applies to more than fish. From July 24 through 26, 14 survivors from across the state met in Dubois for the fifth annual Wyoming Casting for Recovery retreat for women who have battled breast cancer. They ate, learned to fish and remembered how to live again without carrying the fear, trauma and solitude of their disease. Three Teton County women made it to this year’s retreat. Jackson resident Jeanne Madison was diagnosed in 2012. Unlike many women who make it through the trying time with the support of their families, Madison lost her son in 2009 and underwent the hardship alone. “I went through the whole breast cancer thing by myself,” she said. “This was the first time that I had been on a true retreat for three days with any kind of support at all, and it was wonderful.” Although Madison trolls fish and bait casts, she had never tried her hand at fly-fishing. “They taught me how to fly-fish, which is quite different and a lot of fun,” she said. “I caught the first fish on Saturday and kissed the fish, which is tradition.” St. John’s Medical Center oncology nurse and breast cancer survivor Carol Poole noticed many women felt the release was as important as the catch. “A lot of women feel like when they catch the fish it’s gratifying, of course,” she said, “but when they release it they’re releasing ... whatever worries or fears that they have. It’s about living in the moment, not worrying, because with breast cancer comes the fear of recurrence.”

Last summer much of the valley was introduced to the endurance feat dubbed the Picnic. Local mountaineer David Gonzales’ creation has picked up steam in 2015, and endurance athletes across Jackson Hole have lined up to put the idea to the test. See Sports cover.

Breast cancer survivor Rani Carr caught the first fish of July’s annual Casting for Recovery retreat for women who have battled breast cancer. Survivors learn how to release their fears through fly-fishing and support groups.

Mainly, though, it’s about having fun, Poole said. She was the medical facilitator for the retreat and has been an attendee herself in the past. “They learn how to have fun again after going through this horrendous treatment,” Poole said. In 1996 avid fly fisher and Vermont breast cancer reconstructive surgeon Benita Walton founded Casting for Recovery to give survivors an escape and because she found that only about 30 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer had been to a support group. “Studies show that women do better in terms of their treatment, going through their treatment and just in getting back to living rather than just getting back to normal life if they can go to support groups,” Poole said. On a physical level, though, fly-fishing poses the perfect exercise for women who have undergone a mastectomy. “It’s not just a physical rehabilitation,” Poole said. “It’s gone on to be an emotional and physical, total mind, body and spirit healing exercise.”

The women arrived Friday and were instantly greeted with fishing gifts, an entomology presentation and a good meal before congregating around a campfire for group support and entertainment. The next day was all fishing in the Dunoir Valley near Dubois. The retreat culminated Sunday with a picnic. “They had us turn our backs,” Madison said. “We turned around, and our river helpers gave us poles and rods, really nice ones. ... We weren’t expecting that, and we all got a little emotional. “Now my favorite thing at night is to go out into the yard and practice casting,” she said. Although only 14 women are selected each year, Poole recommends any woman who has gone through breast cancer apply for Casting for Recovery. “I recommend it all the time,” she said. “I’ve seen what a great program it is. It’s life-changing for women.” Contact Jason Suder at 732-7062 or entertainment@jhnewsandguide.com.

Is Smokey our friend?

t’s nice when towns, counties and federal agencies can work together to solve community problems like our housing crisis. That may not be happening in development of the 10acre U.S. Forest Service parcel in Jackson. Having the Forest Service actually consider setting back Teton County’s efforts to house its citizens just to raise quick cash for a new headquarters is worse than that agency merely being an inconsiderate federal neighbor. That’s like getting punched in the gut by Smokey Bear. The town got a shock last week when it learned the feds have their own backup plan that — instead of creating workforce and other housing — would create four new luxury homes on that land. Even more shocking, local government would have nothing to say about it. The town rezoned the land for dense housing, and will continue to work in good faith to avoid the use of a federal process that Bridger-Teton National Forest Supervisor Tricia O’Connor told the Jackson Hole Daily last week is still “in the realm of possibility.” The town is at a critical juncture — there’s no room for failure. If a developer should come to the table, or come back to the table, responsible development of this parcel must be a top priority. Those 10 acres are vital to the town and county’s plans to have a developer build meaningful numbers of workforce housing units within Jackson’s town limits. Complicating matters is the land’s $12 million price, questions about the land’s actual value and concerns about navigating town politics. A series of developers — two local and one from out of state — have for one reason or another folded their cards, most recently last week. Will the Forest Service budge a bit on the $12 million price to make the deal work for a developer? The McMansion approach would drive a bulldozer through any plans to create new housing. Should the Forest Service make a serious approach to dump huge homes on a site that could benefit many it might be time for an appeal to our Washington, D.C., delegation to reach out to the Forest Service’s top administrators. Big new homes won’t put a dent in the serious housing shortage threatening both the local economy and the health of workers and their families, some living in expensive yet substandard conditions. Not even if the housekeepers, massage therapists, nannies and chefs the new residents hire each get their own rooms.

LETTERS Wrong-way government The time has come for our elected officials to become dedicated to the preservation of our quality of life, versus the frenzy of growth for growth’s sake. Their first responsibility has to be maintaining and enriching the lives of the people who live here today! Yet most often they are obsessed with providing opportunities for developers and commercial interests to enrich themselves at the expense of the electorate. “More” does not always equal “better.” The throbbing crowds we’ve experienced this summer proves they are taking us in the wrong direction. This is our home — we can begin by just saying no. We do not have to ruin this place! Bob Caesar Kelly

Teton’s leash laws I was a little puzzled to see in a recent News&Guide a survey about whether Teton County should have a leash law. Teton County has a leash law: “A domestic dog shall be considered at large when it is off the property of its owner and not controlled by a leash, rope, electronic collar, reins, or in the immediate company of a competent person and obedient to that person’s command, or confined within

a vehicle or other enclosure.” Teton County Animal Regulations 2014, 1-3-1. “Any person who owns any dog which is at large, within Teton County, is guilty of a misdemeanor. A first conviction is punishable by a fine of not more than fifty dollars ($50), and each subsequent conviction is punishable by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars ($100). “TCAR2014, 1-6-1. The problem is not the lack of law, but the lack of enforcement. “Immediate company” means really close, and “obedient to command” means that your dog will come to you anytime you call it. Immediately. Even if distracted by other dogs, food or wildlife. If you are not close enough to your dog to see when and where he does his business, you do not meet these requirements. Victoria Hess Jackson

prejudices they may have, or that prejudices are often disguised under other terms, or that they may not realize what the U.S. Constitution actually grants us in “freedoms.” As a citizen Mr. Brophy has the “right” or “freedom” to exercise his religion, say what he wants, peaceably assemble in protest and seek redress from the government. However, as soon as a business owner decides that he wants to discriminate against an individual, or in this case a segment of the population (not myself), the laws and courts have clearly shown that is not a protected “freedom” or “right.” In this case Mr. Brophy is choosing to single out the lesbian and gay populations of America and expressing his disdain at potentially having to employ a member of that community, and continues on to include atheist (that would potentially be me) and obese individuals. I won’t list the others he mentions as there are established laws regarding several of the behaviors he chose to include. However, I have to wonder how he feels about black, Latino, Native American and Asian individuals as well. Are nationalities also included in his concerns? I’m German and Irish, so please let me know. I believe that some state courts, the federal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court recognize this “slippery” slope.

Regrettable that it had to occur in the summer when existing tenants have few options, but they were simply bringing their rates into accord with the market. I believe the most elegant solution to the housing problem is to look beyond the confines of Teton County, Wyoming, to neighboring communities both within and outside of Wyoming. Victor, Idaho, is less than half an hour away, Driggs another 8 miles, Alpine, Wyoming, somewhat farther. All are serviced, though inadequately, by our START bus system. The well-intentioned but myopic viewpoint that we must house our employees in Jackson exasperates the housing situation, requiring some of the most expensive real estate in the world to be used for housing, resulting in $2,000 apartments in Jackson while comparable units in Victor rent for half that. Did someone say they’re looking for a “bold” reply to the housing situation? More buses! Ed Thulin Jackson

Cd cdgi] Wg^Y\Z I appreciate the county commissioners’ delay of the vote on the adoption of the Integrated Transportation

Plan. The concern regarding the Tribal Trail Connector element of the plan has distracted the public and the media from examining other significant elements of the plan more closely. An example is found in Appendix H: North Bridge Traffic Impact Analysis. A northern bridge over the Snake, and accompanying highway, will disrupt important animal migration corridors and increase roadkill of critical species including moose. I believe the traffic analysis is flawed, as the key metric appears to based on vehicle miles traveled and does not adequately consider daily household trips on established pattern routes in the area. I am not a traffic engineer but I have driven these routes for 30 years and do not believe the projected improvements on Wyoming 390 and Wyoming 22 will be realized. The projections for 2024 are a 0.3 percent reduction in vehicle miles traveled countywide if a bridge is constructed. A north bridge does not warrant serious consideration when compared to other transportation priorities in Teton County. The negative impact it would have on our West Bank ecosystem and our quality of life would be significant and is not worth trading for a shorter drive to the airport. I urge the commissioners to delete the north bridge proposal from the Integrated Transportation Plan. Dan Baker Teton Village

Town leaders to talk funding for housing Sale tax or specific purpose excise tax seen as potential sources. By Ben Graham A sales tax increase aimed at funding housing and transportation could be used by future elected officials for other purposes. That was one of several issues raised at a town meeting Monday about the prospects of upping the tax by 1 percent to help pay for growing community needs. The money would be put into a “community priorities fund.” Many questions remain, but town officials seem eager to move the conversation forward. “I wanted to get the discussion started and begin to make it clear that we’re open for business in terms of garnering public feedback,” Mayor Sara Flitner said. The next steps involve scheduling a joint meeting with county commissioners, doing research on the pros and cons of potential revenue sources, and gathering public input. Raising sales tax to pay for housing and transportation was one of the central ideas that drew broad support at the town and county’s housing summit in May. Neither has taken any action since then. Monday’s meeting marked the first post-summit discussion on the topic. Elected officials will likely have to work through several issues before putting a sales tax increase to voters. One deadline to do so, Aug. 25, is about to pass. Remaining deadlines for a sales tax increase to appear before voters some time next year are March 1, April 28 and Aug. 30, 2016. The deadline is the date by which town and county leaders would have to come up with ballot language and have it certified by the county clerk. Such a ballot measure would then go before voters during an election. Several issues still need to be addressed. Among those is how the money would actually be allocated. “General revenue is theoretically unrestricted,” Town Manager Bob McLaurin said. “You can say we’re going to use this for transportation, we’re going to use this for housing. You cannot bind future councils.” When it comes to housing, politicians also have to decide exactly how the money would be spent. The town and county have generally agreed to partner on some kind of housing program, but

lot of the stuff that is interfering with people’s ability to do things. “And medicine,” he said. “Few doctors think medicine is fun anymore. There’s way too much regulatory oversight.” Carson’s wife of 40 years, Candy, also spoke, enthusiastically touting the Carson Scholars Fund, which provides scholarships for college students. During a question and answer session after his speech, Carson shared his views on ISIS, immigration, the role of the Supreme Court and state autonomy. The United State’s “illegal immigration problem,” Carson said, is “easy to solve.” “We simply have to seal the borders,” he said, “which we have the ability to do. “Not just with fences and walls and not just the southern border, but the northern border, the Pacific border and the Atlantic border,” he said. “They all have to be sealed using electronic surveillance, drones and a host

Deadlines for sales tax vote Below are possible timelines for elected officials to put a ballot question to voters to increase sales tax for housing and transportation. The first date is the deadline for the county clerk to ratify the ballot question. Actual collections of the new tax wouldn’t begin until about five months after the election, if voters approve the increase. - Aug. 25 deadline for a Nov. 3 election - March 1, 2016, deadline for a May 3, 2016, election - April 28, 2016, deadline for an Aug. 16, 2016, election - Aug. 30, 2016, deadline for a Nov. 8, 2016, election the structure remains to be seen. Some recent talk throughout the community has been about using the money to buy land and then letting a private developer build the housing. “A lot of the discussion around housing the last few months is that part of the town and county’s job is to help the private sector,” McLaurin said, “basically put land under affordable housing.” Councilor Jim Stanford asked whether some of the additional revenue could go toward other things, such as Jackson Hole Fire/EMS. The agency has been facing increasing demands for service, and funding hasn’t been able to keep up. Using some of the money for the agency is possible, town officials said. The money also could help with the planned expansion of START bus service, as called for in the Integrated Transportation Plan that town and county officials are expected to vote on soon. The plan seeks to double bus ridership by 2024. The town and county’s portion of transit operations would increase from $810,000 annually to $3.4 million. Another option other than simply raising sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent is to use specific purpose excise tax money for housing and transit. That could work, McLaurin said, but it’s not a dedicated funding stream. “We’ve talked about a recurring revenue source,” McLaurin said. “SPET is not a recurring revenue source. It’s a cash infusion.” A 1 cent sales tax increase is expected to bring in between $11 million and $12 million a year.

The states should have more authority and the federal government less, Carson said. The 50 states are each a laboratory and would be granted power over “almost everything” under a Carson administration. A RealClearPolitics.com gauge that synthesizes different polling data says Carson is behind only Donald Trump and Jeb Bush in a crowded race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. Dean Parker, Carson’s national finance chairman, said more than $75,000 was raised Monday for the campaign. Earlier in the day before the West Bank gathering, Carson also spoke at Snow King Resort. Some 500 people attended that event, Parker said, which cost $25 to attend.

PRICE CHAMBERS / NEWS&GUIDE FILE

Management of the Teton County Fairgrounds, shown here this spring, has shifted to the Jackson/Teton County Parks and Recreation Department.

3 fair board members resign over lost duties Dispute stems from decision to have parks and rec run fairgrounds. By Ben Graham The Teton County Fair Board is going through an exodus of sorts. Three of the fair board’s seven members have resigned because of frustration that the board’s duties have been taken by the Jackson/Teton County Parks and Recreation Department. A fourth board member plans not to reapply for a new term once his concludes at the end of this month. “At this point it doesn’t seem like the fair board is in charge of much,” said Todd Wagner, board chairman and the member who said he won’t reapply. The fair board members who are resigning are Chance Abel, Kevin Lee and Al Parker, Wagner said. The fair board has historically been in charge of the town-owned fairgrounds as well as the town’s contract for the Jackson Hole Rodeo. That has meant a variety of tasks have fallen under the board’s authority, from grounds maintenance to overseeing improvement projects at the rodeo arena. But that appears to be changing, and fair board members aren’t exactly sure why. “I guess the bottom line is the fair board hasn’t been told anything by any official,” said Steve Harrington, a board member who has yet to leave but said it is a possibility. “That’s been my question. Who is driving this bus?”

A new boss at the fairgrounds Parks and recreation department officials have told employees at the fairgrounds that their job titles and roles have changed and that they will now be under the agency’s authority, Harrington said. Teton County spokeswoman Charlotte Reynolds said much of the recent developments originated in 2012, when the county approved a resolution that made the fair board an advisory body to Teton County commissioners. With that change in place, former county administrator Steve Foster delegated responsibilities for the fairgrounds to parks and rec about a year ago, Reynolds said. Commissioner Paul Vogelheim, the only current holdover from the board at the time, said the county was trying to make government more efficient. He cited the example of the Heritage Arena, which was built with a cheap roof that began leaking almost immediately and will require a $700,000 fix this year. The fair board’s new role is like

that of many other government boards around the valley. It won’t have employees reporting directly to it but will advise commissioners and be responsible for the fair. “We wanted to focus the fair board on the fair as opposed to having the responsibility of running the fairgrounds,” Vogelheim said. But Vogelheim also stressed the importance of retaining strong leadership on the fair board. “We need that board to continue to help us maintain that Western heritage,” he said, “and to make sure the users of that facility are being represented.”

PRIVACY AND CONVENIENCE Privacy and convenience define this handcrafted home on 1.52 acres, located within walking distance to downtown Wilson. With just over 4100 sq. ft. of living space, the open floor plan of the first floor is a welcoming gathering place for all seasons. The convenient location is just minutes from skiing, fly-fishing, and other recreational pursuits. MLS 15-1548. $2.595M

No clear communication Still, confusion lingers. Part of it has been about the many contracts that govern fairgrounds operations, Reynolds said. The county has separate agreements with the town for the maintenance of the rodeo arena and the exhibit hall. A third contract covers the entire 26-acre, town-owned fairgrounds parcel and is signed by Teton County, but it references the fair board, Reynolds said. There is some confusion about that document and the implications of the 2012 resolution, she said. Regardless, the new responsibility of the fair board will be “primarily focused on organizing and hosting the county fair,” Reynolds said. Fair board members say they have heard only through rumors that their only responsibility will be the two weeks each summer that the fair takes place, but they haven’t received any official notification. Harrington and Wagner said the loss of leadership that has resulted from the changes will be a major drain on everything that goes on at the fairgrounds. Each board member brought different expertise and institutional memory to the operation of the fairgrounds, they said, whether it was a background with the 4-H Club and livestock or experience with horses. “If you lose all that, the question is how do you replace it,” Harrington said. Reynolds said the plan is to hold a meeting in coming months to iron out any confusion. “The intent is to flesh this out some more and come back before the commissioners this fall with an update and further discussion to provide more clarity,” she said. County officials have not set a schedule for accepting applications to fill vacancies on the fair board. Contact Ben Graham at 732-7074 or town@jhnewsandguide.com.

Diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation?

BRADLY J. BONER / NEWS&GUIDE FILE

Teton County Search and Rescue’s Will Smith guides a litter carrying a snowboarder who broke his leg on Mount Glory in 2008. Charging for rescues has not been a popular proposal.

Most rescuers against charging for services Worry is people would delay calling for help. By Emma Breysse

Medications May Not Be Enough Atrial fibrillation is a serious condition that can sometimes require more than medication. If you have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, you might benefit from electric cardioversion, cardiac ablation, or surgical ablation.

For the first time in our region, electrophysiology is now available at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. Dr. Alejandro Perez-Verdia is a board-certified Cardiologist with exceptional skill and experience treating patients with heart disorders. He is double board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in Cardiovascular Disease and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology. Dr. Perez-Verdia completed his Fellowship in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology at the University of Missouri Kansas City/Mid America Heart Institute, and another fellowship in cardiology at Texas Tech University. He completed a residency of Internal Medicine at Texas Tech University, and earned his medical degree at the Universidad Anahuac in Mexico. Dr. Perez-Verdia speaks fluent Spanish and enjoys the outdoors, fishing, listening to music and cooking. Alejandro Perez-Verdia, M.D.

Despite recent calls by some to charge uninjured recreationalists who call for help for the cost of their rescue, local search and rescue volunteers have historically opposed the idea. When the three Andrews-Sharer sisters got lost in the Gros Ventre Wilderness in July, several community members questioned whether their family should help foot the bill for the two helicopters used in their rescue. More recently the Christu brothers from Palm Beach, Florida, lost their way when climbing the Middle Teton and were too exhausted to climb down. Again, community members questioned whether the two should receive a bill, with several calling outright to make the brothers pay. Legal precedent suggests that even if the park or the county wished to charge for rescues, Wyoming law doesn’t allow them to bill the people they assist. The most recent attempt to change that failed two years ago in the Wyoming Legislature, a failure that had the full support of Teton County Search and Rescue. The bill, 2013 House Bill 35, was introduced by Rep. Keith Gingery RJackson. It would have done two things: allow rescuers personal legal immunity from lawsuits and allow sheriffs to file a claim for the cost of a rescue if they deemed it necessary. “Any county sheriff ’s office in this state may file a claim in a court of competent jurisdiction against a person who is the subject of a search and rescue operation for reimbursement of costs directly incurred in the performance of search and rescue activities,” the bill read when it was introduced. The bill was inspired by the desire to cut down on users abusing the system without consequence, Gingery said. “We were trying to get at those

cases where the people had abused the system,” the former representative wrote in an email Monday. “For example, calling for rescue when none of the people were in danger, but they wanted help getting their snowmobiles unstuck.” There was just such a case in Teton County in 2009 when some snowmobilers called for assistance with their machines. That case is the only time Teton County Sheriff Jim Whalen has attempted to collect payment from the subjects of a rescue mission. However, that section of the bill was deleted almost immediately after the bill entered consideration in the Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Committee and never made it to the House floor. Rep. Ruth Ann Petroff, R-Jackson, Gingery’s fellow member of the Teton County legislative delegation, was one of those who most strongly opposed the reimbursement option. “The argument from the local SAR was that people would hesitate to call 911 if they thought they might get charged,” Gingery said. At the time the bill was in the Legislature, Sheriff Whalen worried about the idea and said that even if the bill passed, Teton County would continue to operate as it had before. “I’m duty-bound and statute-bound to go and get them, but should I be billing them?” Whalen said at the time. “We don’t want people to not call because they’re worried about getting a bill. We don’t want people to wait until the 11th hour to call because they’re worried about the cost.” When Whalen attempted to collect $13,000 from the stuck snowmobilers, which inspired Gingery’s bill, their lawyer successfully argued that Whalen did not have that legal authority. Currently most rescues are reimbursed from either state funds, in the case of Teton County Search and Rescue, or federal funds, in the case of the National Park Service.

the number of bison on the refuge at 500. That is a lie. The management plan allows the reduction of the Grand Teton National Park herd to 500 animals only while maintaining a genetically viable population. This requires a sex ratio of one cow to one bull. The sex ratio requirement of the plan is ignored by Wyoming Game and Fish. In setting regulations the trophy hunters want the bulls! The population is two cows to one bull. Can Game and Fish cavalierly make up for it later? The herd at 691 is too few. Why do we not marry our first cousins? Remember the movie, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deliveranceâ&#x20AC;?? The herd is at risk, descendants of 11 animals, they must be preserved and a new study demanded. The National Park Service in 2010 concluded, in The Bison Conservation Initiative, a viable bison herd is 1,000 animals. A lesser population requires strict 1-to-1 sex ratio compliance. This blatant violation of science and the management plan shall decimate one of the last free-roaming bison herds. and damage our tourist economy. The hunt continues until Jan. 15, 2016. Last winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Elk Refuge hunt was a nightmare; hungry elk roamed the highway in front of the wildlife art museum at night avoiding

daytime gunshots. Bison on the refuge tried to escape into town. The late and early hunts of both bison and elk must stop. The elk population is now below 11,000 animals. The management plan requires a public process when the Jackson Elk Herd is below 11,000. The refuge refused to feed the elk in January until the end of the late bison hunt. Mid-January managers claimed there was plenty of forage below the snow, as the elk pounded the frozen earth. Mid-February when the snow had melted Eric Cole declared the forage worthless. Over 120 elk died, half were calves, many taken down by joint disorders which veterinarians attribute to malnutrition. We drove by witnessing starving elk, a slow and agonizing death. Why did Congress enact the Elk Refuge over 100 years ago? The management plan calls for 5,000 elk on the refuge only as conditions allow. Extreme weather prohibited them from wintering out. Do we watch them die or demand the fully informed public process, as we are entitled. The 2007 plan is a failed science project. It is time for the public to be fully informed in regard to the science of both species and with the opportunity for meaningful participation. Deidre J. Bainbridge Jackson

Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse Jews There was a long feature article in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s News&Guide about the Chabad Jewish Center. With no disrespect to Rabbi Zalman [Mendelsohn] and the Chabad Jewish Center, it is important to note that there is a distinct Jackson Hole Jewish Community, which under the leadership of Al Zuckerman, Judd and Mary Grossman, Josh Kleyman and Andrea Mazur represents the majority Jewish population in this region. The Jewish Community regularly holds services, sponsors speakers and events, and provides education and camping opportunities for Jewish children and their friends. Chabad and its adherents are a distinctive messianic form of Judaism. Beginning in a few communities in Eastern Europe and migrating to Brooklyn and other locations in New York and New Jersey, Chabad has sent out missionary couples to towns and cities across America. Their attitudes and beliefs do not represent the religious or social viewpoints of Reformed, Conservative and traditional Orthodox Jewry. Without going into all of the historic distinctions, I would point out that adherence to a specific messianic rabbi is at odds with the anti-authoritarian practices of most Jewish congregations. Furthermore, Chabadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitude toward women is a particular point of disagreement. In recent years, women have come to play an increasingly important role in contemporary Jewish life. There are now many Jewish female rabbis and cantors, and there is no separation between men and women in most Jewish congregations and activities. In contrast, Chabad does not permit women to participate in several important religious rituals. It maintains that women should largely play a domestic role, essentially centered on the home and the creation of large families. Chabad men are not supposed to touch women other than their wives. They bow rather than shake hands. In these attitudes there is much greater similarity to the ultra-orthodox in other religions than there is to the vast majority of American Jews.

Is it worth it? I had the pleasure to visit your magnificent valley and mountains in July as a tourist, and at one time I was a local resident. I, like many others, enjoy the open spaces, outdoor recreation, wildlife and the unique sensitive ecosystem. However, one morning as I was headed toward Teton Pass I had the pleasure of watching the morning rush hour traffic coming from Driggs, Idaho, to Jackson. Car after car, people were idling, pushing fumes into our air, large SUV after SUV with only one person looking at the world wasting time hunched over their steering wheel, not communicating with anyone, just waiting to go to work. It made me depressed. People move to these rural areas to escape the humdrum of city life, suburban traffic lights, and bumper-tobumper traffic. I encourage people to carpool or take the bus. Change has to start locally. People can’t

afford to live in Jackson, but they work there. Think of this impact every day of the year. Most importantly think the impact on the environment that one person can have. Multiply that times 200 and after a while you no longer have clean air or a small-town lifestyle. Think of the hours you spend in your vehicle that could be used for something more productive. Day after day, week after week, how much time do you spend in that car driving to work or getting stuck in traffic in Jackson? Added up those precious hours and time could be spent with your children, partner, playing outside or reading a book. Is it worth it?

Creek was the focal point of a recent University of Wyoming master’s degree study, “The Effects of Oil and Natural Gas Development on Water Quality, Aquatic Habitat, and Native Fish in Streams Along the Wyoming Range.” Carlin Girard, who today works as the Teton Conservation District’s water resource specialist, headed the research. Collecting data in 2012 and ’13, Girard discovered that Dry Piney Creek’s native Colorado River strain of cutthroat trout had been eliminated from the stream network. The drainage had been among the several hundred remaining locations where the declining species of cutthroat persisted, U.S. Forest Service reports show. In his research Girard also found that a native species of sculpin was almost gone and that sensitive insects, riparian cover and fish habitat were in poor shape compared with South Beaver Creek, a parallel stream that’s located just to the north

The organization intends to submit the plan within the next week. Should the plan satisfy Family Services, the department will clear the

of polluters, and seeks to “protect, conserve and enhance Wyoming’s land, air and water.” A 2003 DEQ monitoring and assessment report specific to Dry Piney Creek describes the uses that have been designated for the stream. The stream functions as a drinking water supply and a cold-water and nongame fishery, and it supports non-fish aquatic life, primary-contact human recreation, wildlife and industry, according to the report. “What is difficult to pinpoint at this time is the degree to which intensive land uses in the riparian zone have influenced the habitat and more importantly whether these anthropogenic influences have compromised the ability of the upper Dry Piney Creek to support designated aquatic life uses,” the report says. In addition, the report says, it is unknown what if any influence the presence of oil on the stream bottom has on the ability of the upper Dry Piney Creek to support aquatic life uses.

An oil spill in 2012 seeped into Dry Piney Creek, a Wyoming Range stream that no longer supports cutthroat trout. Wyoming environmental regulators have to date not placed the creek on the state’s impaired waters list.

been listed as impaired from selenium pollution along a 3-mile stretch near Cheyenne. In the DEQ’s latest report on draft-impaired waters Crow Creek was removed because a “Total Maximum Daily Load” plan has been put into place. In the Snake River basin, where it’s much tougher to find a gas pad or oil derrick, no streams are listed as impaired because of energy development. Flat Creek is on the list, as are two stretches of water in the Salt River drainage because of E. coli, but the

latter two are slated to be taken off because of just-finished “Total Maximum Daily Load” plans. This iteration of DEQ’s report lists for the first time the Salt River tributary Crow Creek as impaired from selenium pollution from an “unknown” source. The Hoback River tributary Clark Draw had been listed as impaired from E. coli pollution since 2012, but this cycle the DEQ has proposed throwing out monitoring data submitted by the Western Watersheds Project that led to the designation.

The DEQ is accepting public comment on its draft impaired waters list through Sept. 22. The state report also summarizes surface water quality throughout the state. Comments aren’t being accepted by email. They should be mailed to Richard Thorp at WDEQ/WQD, Herschler Building 4-W, 122 W. 25th St., Cheyenne, WY 82002.

recommend listing the stream on the state’s impaired waters list. No more recent water quality assessment for the Dry Piney Creek watershed has been conducted, and it is not included in the DEQ’s 2015 Water Quality Monitoring Plan, which would indicate it’s slated for assessment. The stream could potentially be included in DEQ’s 2016 plan, which is not yet a completed public document, DEQ spokesman Keith Guille said. Richard Thorp, who leads DEQ’s water quality division, said there are seven segments of streams and rivers in Wyoming that are listed as impaired because of pollution traced to energy development. All are impaired because of the effects of oil drilling, Thorp said, and natural gas extraction has not been implicated in any impaired listing. “Sometimes we don’t encounter any issues at all,” Thorp said. All impaired waters that are ailing as a result of energy development are found east of the Continental Divide. Crooks Creek, in the North Platte River drainage, is listed because of “oil and grease” concentrations. In the Powder River basin petroleum production has impaired two stretches of the river with chloride and arsenic pollution. Salt Creek, a Powder River tributary, is also impaired as the result of an oil spill. For the first time in Wyoming history a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-approved plan is in place to clean up an Equality State waterway that has been labeled impaired because of pollution tied to energy development. Crow Creek, a tributary of the South Platte River, had until now

b-t parcel

Continued from cover

More recently people began to pay attention to the parcel because they see it as a partial remedy for the valley’s employee housing crunch. The Jackson Town Council rezoned the land for dense housing and has stuck by that decision. “We don’t want to lose that property to something that doesn’t do us any good in terms of workforce housing or community need,” Mayor Sara Flitner said at a meeting Monday. The town objected to a plan from the last prospective buyer, developer Mike Halpin, and the Forest Service to sell off the property in smaller pieces, which would have allowed just a handful of large homes to be built there. Halpin and his partner, John Shelton, dropped a contract to buy the property last week. Town councilors considered an emergency measure to put the zoning back into a public classification to fend off any efforts to put something other than workforce housing on the site. They ended up holding off on that move. Part of the reason is that another former shopper, Wisconsin developer S.R. Mills, is again in talks with the Forest Service, Flitner said. He previously had the land under contract and worked with the town on the new dense residential zoning for the parcel. His last deal fell through in June because he said the price was too high. The price was set by an appraisal that had assumed commercial zoning for the parcel. The quality of the soil also poses an obstacle. The property has wetlands on it, and soil tests on the headquarters parcel have revealed that building a structure of three stories will be difficult, Van Gelder said. Despite all that, he said, buyers are still calling. “We’ve had a bunch of interest, but they’re all asking the same questions,” he said. Before Mills and Halpin, Rustic Inn owner Jerry Johnson had the property under contract. He wasn’t able to follow through because there was no new zoning assigned to the land. The experience with Johnson is what led the Forest Service to work with Mills to have the council rezone the property. The public had an opportunity to buy the property in 2012, but voters turned down that option at the ballot box. The acquisition was listed on

the specific purpose excise tax ballot, and the land would have been bought with money raised from a penny of optional sales tax. As for plans to tear down the old A-frame building on North Cache, Bridger-Teton spokeswoman Mary Cernicek said the project is still on track. “We still have a plan,” she said. “We’re on that course.”

The agency is working to “move money around” to fund the effort, she said. The building will eventually be torn down and replaced. Workforce housing and warehouse space also will be built on the property. Contact Ben Graham at 732-7074 or town@ jhnewsandguide.com.

The members of the class of 1965 at Jackson-Wilson High School enjoyed their 50th reunion with a plethora of old photos and yearbooks as they exchanged old memories at the Elks Lodge on Friday evening. Those attending said it was a different time.

Still making new memories after 50 years Graduates of the class of 1965 recall their high school days, catch up. By Frances Moody

igh school is an awkward time for most. It’s when hormones are off balance, bullying is common and parental control is to be expected. It’s no surprise most students are eager to leave their teenage years behind after graduation. But the members of the Jackson-Wilson High School class of ’65 remember high school as happy and simple time in their lives. When the graduates of ’65 gathered for their 50th reunion Friday evening at the Elks Lodge their minds traveled to when Jackson was less crowded and when their social interactions took

place at football games or in the halls of a high school that once stood where the Center for the Arts is located. “It’s very different,” LoyDean White Barney said. “I would give anything to turn the clock back, but we can’t do that.” Barney, who organized the 50th reunion, enjoyed high school. She said she has nothing but the best memories. In fact, Barney has a difficult time recalling any negative memories from her four years at Jackson-Wilson High School. “There were cliques, but we noticed that after our 10and 20-year reunions those cliques were all gone,” she said. Barney, who has lived in Jackson for the last 50 years, said her favorite memories are from her experiences with the school’s pep club. She loved riding the bus to games. She remembers com-

ing home from a game that took place in Afton. The snow was piled high, but the bus plowed right through it. “I remember getting out of the bus and running with my girlfriend through the snow to meet some friends at Town Square,” Barney said. “I think of those kinds of things and know high school was great fun.” The longtime Jackson resident, who has attended all of her class reunions, misses the past. But she is proud of the accomplishments of her fellow graduates. “Some of the people just turned out with the best careers and jobs that would just shock you,” she said.

“You wouldn’t think that they would go the direction they went. It’s fun to keep track of people and to see what they did.” Sitting in front of a display of photos from high school and past reunions, Barney greeted every attendee with excitement. Some of her classmates approached her, showing her pictures they found in their dresser drawers and closet shelves. “That man you dated was so handsome,” Barney said to one of her friends. Barney recognized everyone who walked through the swinging saloon doors at the Elks Lodge. “I could pick out any one of

them,” she said. “I don’t think there’s anyone here that I wouldn’t have known.” David Edmiston was one of those faces. Like Barney, he has several fond memories from his teenage years. “I was student body president,” Edmiston said. “That was the only thing I ever ran for and won.” Edmiston stayed in the Jackson area. Now retired, he worked at Moose Head Ranch for many years. He’s happy to have time to spend with his family. He also dedicates some of his free time to Facebook. “I’ve joined Facebook and I’ve had so much fun See MEMORIES on 26A

Kelly Elementary was renovated; Jackson Elementary receives more modular units. By Frances Moody While Teton County School District No. 1 students were on summer vacation the schools they attend received improvements and upgrades. “It’s been an extremely busy summer for everyone, right down to the maintenance and custodial personnel,” said Paul Rossolo, the district’s facilities director. “We’ve been working this summer to get the facilities cleaned up, repaired and painted.” Kelly Elementary School went through a major renovation this summer. The goal of the upgrade was to remedy the building’s structural issues, to bring the school up to code and to improve the building’s utilities and instructional spaces. Brad Barker, the district’s chief operating officer, said the building will be ready for students by Sept. 2, the first day of school. “We prioritized the interior first to get the classrooms ready,” Barker said Monday. “Today we completed moving all the furniture back in the classrooms so they will be ready for teachers.”

doesn’t have enough classrooms to accommodate the increases in kids entering kindergarten each year. “This will take us from a ratio in those lower grades from 22.5-1 to 19.5-1,” Barker said. “It doesn’t get us all the way there, but it’s a stopgap measure while we work on getting land purchased for a new elementary school.” Trustees are still looking for land to build a new elementary school. Mead said the modular classrooms are the best option at the moment. “They may not be concrete or brick buildings, but they are decked out with technology and everything else that is needed for the kids,” she said. Alta Elementary School also received a few upgrades. It now has a new water supply line and a new primary electric supply. And Jackson Hole Middle School and Colter Elementary Schools received complete framing for additional classrooms. Contact Frances Moody at 732-7079 or schools@jhnewsandguide.com.

About $1 million The district’s board of trustees approved spending $1.14 million for the project. “The state provides a major maintenance grant,” Trustee Kate Mead said. “We get a couple million dollars a year for major maintenance.” Barker said that by working with contractors from GE Johnson and architects from Ward and Blake Architects he was able to cut the estimated cost to about $1 million before construction. But the renovation didn’t go as planned. “In the course of renovating any old building you will find some things you will have to deal with that will cost a little bit more money,” Barker said. The district had to pay about $32,000 to remove asbestos from the building and about $62,000 to fix other problems that were discovered.

More space needed Barker said there are still a few cosmetic adjustments that need to be made before the renovation is complete. “We will be substantially complete by Aug. 28, meaning we have the area ready and cleaned up to accept students,” he said. “We’ll have a little bit of siding left to complete. That will be done by Sept. 4.” Kelly Elementary School’s complete upgrade isn’t the only facilities project the district’s employees worked on this summer. Davey Jackson Elementary School will have a total of four modular buildings with the addition of two new buildings. The classrooms arrived at the site Monday. Barker said they will be ready for students by Aug. 28. The modular buildings, which were paid for with $460,000 of emergency funds the state provided, are meant to help the school reach the 16-1 student-teacher ratio the state requires for kindergarten through third grade.

Forest, greens debate fuels-reduction project Fire-proofing homes is a better strategy than thinning, ecologist says. By Mike Koshmrl A renowned ecologist and author says that agencies such as the BridgerTeton National Forest are under political pressure to take on fuels-reduction projects that often don’t help with fighting wildfires. Instead of thinning and burning forests in anticipation of wildfire, Western communities and land managers would be better off barring new buildings in the “fire plain” and requiring landowners to implement “fire-wise” home and landscape tactics, George Wuerthner said Aug. 12 at a forum at the Old Wilson Schoolhouse Community Center. While acknowledging that forest managers are often in a bind, Wuerthner challenged the efficacy of fuelsreduction projects under extreme fire conditions. “These agencies cannot be held responsible for homes burning down,” Wuerthner said. “There’s a lot of political pressure on people that do these things, even though under the right circumstances they’re not going to work very well.” Wuerthner’s comments came while the Bridger-Teton is considering what is perhaps the most extensive fuels-reduction project in Jackson Hole’s history. The Teton-to-Snake Fuels Management Project now up for review proposes to thin 1,757 acres of Bridger-Teton lands and conduct managed burns on another 12,524 acres. The project area stretches from Teton Village to the Snake River canyon and would alter the landscape outside of Red Top Meadows, Hog Island,

Indian Paintbrush and a dozen other forest-fringe neighborhoods. “This may be the largest landscapelevel project ever proposed in Jackson Hole,” Sierra Club staffer Lloyd Dorsey said at the forum, “and if it’s implemented there will be smoke and other impacts for several years [and] beyond. “Fires are complicated things,” he said, “and there’s no guaranteeing homes will be any safer after these proposed treatments in Jackson Hole.”

Effects on wilderness Dorsey and other conservationists in the crowd worried about the effect of the project on the character of the Pali-

derness Act and the forest plan and the several hundred thousand acres we have in the Palisade Wilderness while meeting the social needs of people outside?” Norman said. “What do we do?” Responding, Wuerthner called for the forest to be transparent about the track records of fuels projects. “Don’t give a false impression that you’re going to have the ability to stop a severe fire,” Wuerthner said. “When [a severe fire] happens, no matter what you’ve done, it’s going to go out the window, I think. “What you have to emphasize … is how much responsibility is with the homeowners to reduce the flammabil-

sades Wilderness Study Area, which encompasses 210 square miles on the west end of the valley that’s been designated by Congress as potential wilderness. The Wyoming Wilderness Association, an advocacy group, organized the gathering. A handful of Bridger-Teton employees attended the talk. Andy Norman, the forest’s fire specialist, summarized his employer’s tricky position. “Here are the cards we’ve been dealt,” Norman said. “We have all these houses on the front, and I don’t think anybody’s going to give up their house that lives up there. “How do we let the natural processes occur and meet the intent of the Wil-

SELECTIONS

ity of their homes,” he said. “Because no matter what you do in that area I think under the right conditions it isn’t going to matter.”

Ecological benefits Through much of his hour-long talk Wuerthner touched on the ecological benefits of wildfire. He also went over research that has assessed the effectiveness of fuels-treatment techniques. Evaluating fuels projects is difficult, Wuerthner said, because treatments vary from project to project and effectiveness sags over time as plants grow back and trees mature and fall. The data suggest that prescribed burning is a better strategy than thin-

ning, Wuerthner said. At times fuels projects have actually exacerbated wildfire by opening up the forest canopy and allowing higher winds, he said. In high-wind and severe-fire conditions, defensible space and fire-smart homes are much more important than thinner timber and fire breaks along the forest edge, Wuerthner said. He illustrated the point by showing photos of bare foundations of homes outside of Colorado Springs, Colorado, that were torched by the Waldo Canyon Fire. The blaze never actually made it into the neighborhood, but threw embers from hundreds of yards away. “If you’re relying on the Forest Service to save your house, you’re making a bad bet,” Wuerthner said, “because no matter what they do, under certain conditions, it’s just not going to work.” He championed building smart within the wildland-urban interface. Going with metal roofs, he said, is one of the “biggest, best things you can do.” Rob Sgroi, Teton Conservation District’s land resources specialist, said that it has been a struggle to get local residents to voluntarily comply with the county’s fire-wise building codes. Homes built after 2010 within Teton County’s wildland-urban interface are required to abide by those codes, but buildings that predate the regulation are exempted. For new buildings compliance is “probably pretty good,” said Steve Markason, the Bridger-Teton’s north zone fire management officer. “The challenge has been all the stuff that’s been built on the front prior to 2010 that’s not subject to that code,” Markason said. “Getting those codes retroactively enforced is the biggest challenge.” Contact Mike Koshmrl at 732-7067 or environmental@jhnewsandguide.com.

A draft plan to keep Teton County prepared for natural disasters recommends upgrades or repairs for five out of the area’s seven fire stations. The Teton County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, which emergency managers released in draft form last week, lays out projects for the next five years that will improve the area’s emergency preparedness. In the recently released draft, two of the fire station remodels or upgrades received high priority billing. Another three were medium to low priority. “The above projects will be worked on pending adequate resources,” the plan states. Along with the fire station work, the plan listed 37 other projects, including updating quake island mapping and setting up a fund for mitigation of frazil ice flooding on Flat Creek. The full draft plan is available online and at various county offices for public comment during the public comment period. That period began Friday and will last until Sept. 18. Following that period the plan will go before the various agencies involved for final approval. Teton County, the town of Jackson and the Teton Conservation District are all agencies planning to eventually adopt the plan. The plan lays out information regarding major natural and humancaused disasters that emergency planners believe government agencies should be ready for. Projects lay out things the various agencies should do in order to be as prepared as possible. This version of the plan includes a range of projects, but the most common theme is the five fire station revamps. Upgrading and remodeling Fire Station 1, which is located on Pearl Avenue in Jackson, and Fire Station 3, which is located in Hoback Junction, are listed as high priority projects, meaning the plan recommends completing them within two years. The Pearl Avenue station is the largest, most regularly staffed and best equipped of the seven stations in the Jackson Hole Fire/EMS network. The plan recommends com-

How to comment The Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan will be available for public comment until Sept. 18. The full draft can be found in the following places: Online at TetonWyo.org/em Teton County Clerk’s Office 200 S. Willow St. Jackson Police Department 150 E. Pearl Ave. Teton County Library 125 Virginian Lane Teton County Emergency Operations Center 3240 South Adams Canyon Drive pleting the remodel of the station that was presented to the public on the 2014 Specific Purpose Excise Tax ballot. Teton County voters approved $2.5 million for the project, with funds also earmarked for planning, designing and engineering remodel plans for fire stations in Wilson, Hoback Junction and Moran. The Hoback Station is the southernmost station in the network and the nearest to emergency and medical calls in the Hoback and Snake River canyons. The station recently received a full-time ambulance for the first time in its history. The plan also recommends upgrades at stations in Moran, Wilson and Teton Pines, though the plan does not detail just what is needed to upgrade those stations. Other potential projects reflect the result of recent training drills put on by Teton County Emergency Management, including locating an area that can be used as a base for large-scale emergencies. Following the last major training drill, Emergency Management Coordinator Rich Ochs noted that county officials have discussed using the Stilson Ranch parking lot, the site of the multi-agency base for the Horsethief Canyon Wildfire in 2012. There are few other places large enough to accommodate an equal undertaking. To read the full plan and view the full project list, visit TetonWyo.org/em and click on the link provided. A list of the places where the public can view a hard copy of the plan is also available on the site. For information, contact Ochs at rochs@tetonwyo.org or study consultant Barb Beck, of Beck Consulting, at barbbeck@bresnan.net. Contact Emma Breysse at 732-7066 or courts@jhnewsandguide.com.

High Priority Projects The Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan was released Friday in draft form. The plan proproses 42 projects to improve Teton County’s emergency preparedness. High priority projects are recommended for completion within two years. The draft plan designates the following among the high priority projects: - Update quake island mapping - Upgrade Hoback Fire Station - Identify locations in Teton County for hosting large-scale incident operations - Use Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan as a way to raise awareness - Review and upgrade security access to critical infrastructure and facilities - Complete renovation of Fire/Rescue Station No. 1 - Consider natural disasters when updating community development plans - Monitor Budge Drive and South Park Loop slide areas - Map potential landslide areas in town - Work with Flat Creek Water Improvement District to prevent flooding from frazil ice; develop a fund for mitigation - Fire fuel reduction

Town and County Briefs Contract to fix bridge OK’d Swinging Bridge will be repaired now that the Board of County Commissioners has contracted with low-bidder Flame On Inc. to repair the damaged structure. The board’s agenda packet listed the cost of the contract at $185,000. The bridge was closed in April when “an overweight/over height vehicle attempted to cross the bridge,” county spokeswoman Charlotte Reynolds said in a press release Tuesday. Buchko Structural Engineering evaluated the structure at that time and recommended that it remain closed due to safety concerns. Commissioners looked at safety issues associated with motorists using the alternative access — turning from South Highway 89 onto Henry’s Road — then unanimously approved the contract. The piece of equipment that struck the bridge did a lot of damage. The contract covers “heat straightening the damaged bridge members and railings, replacement of the west steel portal frame and sway brace members, replacement of four timber running boards and one timber curb section, and repainting of all steel repairs,” the release said. Work should start after Labor Day and be finished by late September or early October — before the start of win-

ter driving conditions. “The county will continue its efforts to secure compensation for the repairs from the responsible party and/or the insurance company,” the release said. The truck that hit the bridge was owned by a landscaping company. Attorneys for United Fire and Casualty Company, which is the insurer of the Jackson-based company Growin’ Green, notified the county July 27 that there was no coverage under its policy for the truck driver who hit the span. Other bidders for the job were Westwood Curtis at $207,500 and Reiman Corp. at $243,000.

Tour the Grove on Thursday The public can tour phase one of the Grove housing complex’s recently completed rental units during two open houses Thursday. The first will be from noon to 2 p.m. The second is set from 4 to 6 p.m. Tours will be given by Teton County Housing Authority staff. “This is a wonderful opportunity for the community to see the completed rental units before they are occupied by members of the local workforce,” Stacy Stoker, the Housing Authority’s executive director, said in a release Monday. “We hope the community joins us to see what we have been working on and understand how it will benefit the local workforce.”

JACKSON HOLE MAGAZINE WINTER 2015

Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz will be in Jackson Hole today, first for a public meet-andgreet and then for an exclusive, $1,000-a-ticket reception hosted by a Texas oil executive. Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas, will be at Teton County Library at 1:30 p.m. to meet with residents and answer questions, a spokeswoman said. The free event, which is advertised as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;grassrootsâ&#x20AC;? meeting, was scheduled after Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign had already organized an expensive reception that will take place later tonight at Shooting Star, a posh golf course by Teton Village. Kit and Bob Gwin are hosting the reception, which starts at 6:30 p.m. with a 30-minute VIP session. Tickets for that cost $2,700. The $1,000 reception is 7 to 8 p.m. Bob Gwin is executive vice president of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest publicly traded oil and gas exploration and production companies. The Gwins own a house at Shooting Star, which they bought in 2013, as well as a 35-acre lot off Fall Creek Road valued at $5 million, according to county records. Gwin did not re-

spond to a call to his office Tuesday. Gwin also is a co-owner of the Arizona Coyotes, according to the hockey teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. A poll released Tuesday by CNN and ORC International said 5 percent of registered Republicans and independents leaning Republican said they would vote for Cruz, putting him in seventh place in the crowded Republican field. Real estate mogul Donald Trump continues to far outpace the pack, with 24 percent of people in the same poll saying they support him. Former FlorCruz ida Gov. Jeb Bush was a distant second with 13 percent. Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip to the Tetons, a home of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is the second such visit this week by a Republican presidential candidate. Dr. Ben Carson spoke at Snow King Hotel on Monday and then similarly held an â&#x20AC;&#x153;exclusive receptionâ&#x20AC;? later that night at the Wilson mansion of Mike Marshall. The minimum donation for admission was $500. Teton County has historically rated as one of the richest in the country, which may be why candidates are targeting it as a fundraising stop. Just last week Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, of Wisconsin, held a fundraiser at Teton Village with Cheney.

A pair of grizzly bear cubs that are believed to have fed on the body of a Billings, Montana, man in Yellowstone National Park this month may be living out their days near the shores of Lake Erie. The Toledo Zoo late last week announced it would be taking the recently orphaned 50- to 60-pound grizzlies into its care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The exact arrival date for the cubs is yet to be determined but is anticipated to be this fall,â&#x20AC;? a statement from the Toledo Zoo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Upon their arrival at the zoo the cubs will undergo standard quarantine processes to ensure their health and wellness before going on exhibit for public viewing.â&#x20AC;? In the meantime the cubs will be held by a rehabilitation center. The cubs were transported to the center, which has not been identified, the day their mother was euthanized by Yellowstone officials last week. DNA samples that came through Thursday tied the cubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, a healthy 259-pound sow, to Lance Crosby, who was found dead Aug. 7 in an off-trail area near Lake Village. There were indications at the scene that one or more cubs were also present around the kill site and had fed on Crosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body, Yellowstone officials said. Because of the cub were so young â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they were born this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Yellowstone officials did not consider releasing them back into the wild.

Had a willing accredited zoo or rehabilitation center not been located, the young grizzlies, like their mother, would have been euthanized. Yellowstone selected the Toledo Zoo with assistance from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which keeps an active list of institutions with space for animals and verifies the facilities meet standards for care. On online comment boards and social media some people have hammered Yellowstone for selecting a zoo instead of a rehabilitation center that would someday release the grizzlies back into the wild. Park officials said in response that they had no choice in the matter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were no rehabilitation facilities on the list forwarded to us by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums,â&#x20AC;? park staff wrote in response to one comment on Facebook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know of any situations where grizzlies have been moved from federal lands into rehabilitation facilities. While rehabilitation is common for black bears, it is not common for grizzlies.â&#x20AC;? The Toledo Zoo was already planning on a new exhibit for grizzlies, a species that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been on display there for three decades. Randi Meyerson, the zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curator of mammals, told the Toledo Blade newspaper that the zoo is excited about and up for the challenge of caring for the grizzly cubs. Polar bears and sloth bears are now housed there. Additional details about the cubs and their exhibit space will be announced after their arrival later this year, the zoo reported.

Two brothers who lost their way and ran out of energy were choppered from the Middle Teton late in the day Aug. 11 after phoning for help. Grand Teton National Park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs said the men were “uninjured yet considerably fatigued” when they decided they needed a lift off the mountain. The men, from Palm Beach, Florida, told rangers they had tried to climb the Dike Route on the Middle Teton. “They were off route and couldn’t quite make sense of where they were,” Skaggs said. “They sat down and could not will themselves to move, is what they said.”

Businesses along the Alpine Lane corridor between Buffalo Way and Scott Lane learned Aug. 12 of a hearing on Monday about a renovation plan that affects the number and location of parking spaces along the street. The plan to extend a 10-foot sidewalk from Powderhorn Park to Scott Lane will eliminate five of 45 spaces. “With this change,” a Department of Public Works staff report reads, “the parallel parking on the north side of the street has been removed, and new diagonal parking will be installed for the south side of Alpine Lane in the area of Powderhorn Park. “The town is disregarding the importance of the retailers in this area by taking away parking,” Scott Lane landlord and linen shop owner Diana Gross wrote to the Jackson Hole Daily on Wednesday. “What is happening here?”

The Bridger-Teton National Forest has requested a waiver from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Water Quality Division (WDEQ/WQD) for a temporary increase in turbidity in Chall Creek (Section 3, T35N, R114W) in Sublette County. Activity in Chall Creek is normally limited to a ten NTU increase over background. Approval of this request

WDEQ Water Quality Rules and Regulations, which allow for temporary elevated levels of turbidity in certain circumstances. An application for 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been submitted. Proposed activities include removal of a culvert and road fill from the Chall Creek stream crossing at 10368 Road. Requests for related information and documents about the proposed temporary turbidity increase should be directed to Cathy Norris by email (cathy.norris@wyo.gov) or phone (307-777-6372).

A fire in April gutted the ReStore’s former location on West Broadway along with five other businesses in the same building.

Science schools camps pack up Teton Science Schools’ summer of camps for kids in kindergarten through 12th grade wrapped up Friday. The schools offered weeklong day camps for children in kindergarten through sixth grade. It provided residential camps for middle school and high school students that lasted seven to 28 days, and it took part in the Summer Sampler camp, partnering with the Jackson Hole Children’s Museum and the Presbyterian Church of Jackson Hole. A record 826 kids enrolled in the summer camps, said Nick Delmolino, the schools’ senior director of marketing and communication.

New cell tower limits discussed The town of Jackson is considering regulations for cellphone towers that could restrict their size and location. Rules could mandate concealment of rooftop antennas, create setbacks and limit heights. The Town Planning and Zoning Commission took the first look at the regulations last week. Commissioners generally favored restrictions specific to where towers are being proposed. They postponed a decision until their next meeting, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. today. The commission will ultimately make a recommendation to the Jackson Town Council.

River access could be voided A Star Valley landowner would like to void a fishing access easement along Christensen Creek in exchange for habitat improvements, but the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission

must first OK the exchange. “The habitat work that they would be proposing for relinquishing the easement would be on the Salt River,” Game and Fish regional fisheries supervisor Rob Gibson said. “But it’s not known where on the Salt it would be.” The easement, 0.41 acres, is a mile north of the popular A/G Lane public access and boat ramp west of Grover. People can call Game and Fish’s Jackson office at 733-2321 to learn more and submit comments.

Teton park posts noise monitor Grand Teton National Park officials are trying to remind motorists and other makers of noise that the rumbling of internal combustion engines isn’t what people love about the national parks. The park erected a sign that tells drivers how much noise they are making and to encourage them to keep it down. “Riding a motorcycle through Grand Teton’s an exciting way to experience the park’s scenic beauty,” park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs said on the park website. “However, low-frequency sound — like that from some motorcycles — travels farther and can have greater harmful effect on wildlife and park resources than typical cars and trucks.”

Bear raids picnics at String Wildlife rangers are monitoring a cub-toting black bear sow that has been taking advantage of unattended picnics at a popular lakeside area of Grand Teton National Park. “We’ve had a black bear female with a cub that has gotten several food rewards because of negligent humans using the beach area at String Lake,” park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs said Monday. “Friday she got yet another food reward. This is leading to a downward spiral for this particular black bear and her cub.” 296396

LESSONS LEARNED FROM WITH CANCER & CHEMOTHERAPY Part Six

PERSPECTIVE 1 out of 2 men and 1 out of 3 women will face cancer. Lung cancer and heart disease kill more people than breast cancer. 1 in 8 women will face breast cancer. But a MUCH SMALLER number will die from it.

Love and Impermanence “Everything changes, nothing stays the same. How can we be okay with that?”

Monday, August 31, 2015 7:00 p.m. Pink Garter Theatre

Screaming “why me” and being angry about having cancer is a waste of energy. I didn’t invite cancer into my life, but I’ve accepted that it is now a fact of my life. That doesn’t mean that life should no longer be embraced and enjoyed. You don’t DESERVE cancer, but you also don’t DESERVE the good things in life. Life is messy. Life isn’t fair (go visit a pediatric cancer ward). But LIFE IS FOR LIVING. Laughing and smiling WILL make you feel better. Doing what you enjoy and socializing with friends WILL make you feel better. Giving up, just because you have cancer, won’t. For cancers without a defined cure, you can still have YEARS of quality time, even when you are on chemo! For people in my situation, the average life expectancy is 6 years. Many live even longer.

At some point the cancer will mutate and my chemo will stop working. I will shift to palliative care. Until that time, I’m keeping cancer in its place: I do what I need to keep it controlled, but I don’t let it control my life.

We all have people and animals that we love, and we also know deep down that the relationships will have to end one day. How do we reconcile our loving relationships with the fact of impermanence?

Jackson man missing; cops looking for leads

Police are hoping to speak to anyone who knows where a 56-yearold Jackson man might be after he didn’t show up to work for two days. The man, Duncan Borchers, of east Jackson, did not check in with his sister Friday and did not come to work Monday, leading police to list him as officially missing, Cpl. Roger Schultz said. The Jackson Police Department went to his home after his sister called Sunday to report Borchers as a potential missing person. He routinely speaks to her and had not checked in for several days. She asked officers to check on her brother in light of the lack of contact. Borchers did not answer the door or the phone when police tried to contact him. When the officers convinced Borchers’ landlord to let them in, Borchers was not present, but his cellphone was in the house. He does not possess a running car, police said. He typically gets around by bicycle, but both of his bikes were accounted for at his home. “There are a few things that could mean, so we want to talk to anyone who’s seen him or knows where he

He is 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs approximately 175 pounds. Police department photos show that Borchers has a full beard and mustache and a slightly receding hairline.

The Grand Teton Skating Association builds the rink with support from the Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation Department. Association Director Akop Manoukian told the Jackson Hole Daily that the recreation department worries about the rink’s location and possible damage to the square. Manoukian said Monday that he hopes the department’s concerns can be addressed so the rink can not only open this winter, but do so in December instead of January and operate Tuesdays through Sundays instead of on the current schedule of Friday through Sunday. Manoukian said he has 100 signatures on a petition from Town Square merchants in support of the rink. An apparent miscommunication led the item to be pulled from the agenda, Assistant Town Manager Roxanne DeVries Robinson said.

Tax panel’s contract to go to bid

The digital campaign to attract fall and winter visitors to Jackson Hole is ready to go, and the board that spends 60 percent of a 2 percent lodging tax is eager to launch it, but it looks like things may be delayed. Last Thursday a county attorney put the brakes on the Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Joint Powers Board’s plan to skip bidding and award a $50,000 contract to a local firm that would shape the board’s messages via Facebook, Twitter and other forms of social media. But the contract with Jackson’s New Thought Media to get that online conversation started was above the threshold for contracts that can be awarded without a public bid. “From lodging tax funds I think it would be appropriate for bid,” said Deputy Attorney Erin Weisman. County Commissioner Barbara Allen, who was in the audience, concurred. “Our practice would be to bid it out,” Allen said.

JACKSON HOLE NEWS&GUIDE, Wednesday, August 19, 2015 - 43A

Blotter ■ Criminal caveman: The unknown person responsible for property damage at a downtown sushi restaurant has a rather Neanderthal method to his madness. Owners of the restaurant called police to report that sometime in the early morning hours of Friday someone hurled a large rock through their front window. The 12-by-10-inch rock weighed several pounds and would have been difficult to lift and throw. The restaurant did not have security cameras aimed at the door, and there were no signs of who might have thrown the rock. Because the window was single-pane glass the total damage was estimated at only $200. ■ Unlucky street: A downtown street seems to have been under a curse this weekend. Two employees at a restaurant found themselves short their bikes Saturday morning, just a few doors down from another restaurant where someone threw a rock and broke a window. The pair had left their bikes — a mountain bike and a cruiser — parked near the restaurant Friday night. The next morning, when they returned to claim them, they found that both were gone. Shortly before they arrived the owners of the vandalized restaurant discovered the broken window. ■ Sounding the alarm: The desk clerk at a south Jackson motel was tricked into a better understanding of the business’ alarm system Friday. An anonymous caller rang the front desk pretending to be from the gas company and said that the hotel’s silent alarm for a gas leak was going off. When the clerk asked what to do, the caller explained that he could turn off the alarm by pulling out the handle of the fire alarm and putting it back in place. The clerk did as advised and, not surprisingly, set off the fire alarm for the entire hotel. There is no sign of

A L L P R O CE E DS B E N E FI T L OC A L N ON -P R OF I T S

who the caller might have been, but the clerk called police to report the incident anyway, probably to help him avoid charges for a false alarm. ■ Things money doesn’t buy: A 30-year-old Rochester, New York, woman learned that while money can’t buy everything an insistence that it does can buy you a one-way ticket to jail. Staff at a downtown Thai restaurant called to report a woman in a pink dress refusing to leave when asked. Officers arrived and found the woman outside on the sidewalk yelling back at the restaurant. She had clearly been drinking and showed signs of being very drunk. She explained that the restaurant did not have the right to kick her out because she had spent money there. Police explained that she was wrong and asked where she was staying. She disagreed but tried to find someone who could pick her up. No one answered the phone, and due to her combative drunken state and the fact that she blew a 0.264 on a portable breath test, officers arrested her on a charge of public intoxication. ■ Watch for cops: A 30-yearold Jackson man may have thought the lack of police cars meant he was in the clear when he pulled out of his parking space Saturday. He soon discovered the flaw in that thinking when he nearly backed into a uniformed police officer standing behind him. The officer spoke to him and noticed that he seemed drunk and smelled of alcohol. The man admitted to drinking and failed sobriety tests. He refused a portable breath test, and the officer got a search warrant for his blood sample. The man went to jail on a charge of driving under the influence. The Jackson Police Department and Teton County Sheriff ’s Office received 1,215 calls for service between Aug. 10 and Aug. 16.

Whether in a backyard or out on the trail, a Dutch oven can hold a whole meal. Fans of the cast-iron cookware are legion in the West.

BRADLY J. BONER / NEWS&GUIDE ILLUSTRATION

IRON CHEFS Versatile Dutch ovens have never gone out of style in the West. By Jason Suder

ny afternoon between Memorial Day and October, Ronnie Henson stands over his Dutch ovens at the Bar J Chuckwagon, measuring coals across the cast iron lids and stoking a fire beneath the traditional cowboy cookware. When Western-clad diners walk by the setup that looks like something out of a John Wayne movie, they are treated to warm buttermilk biscuits and the smile Henson has worn for 15 summers at the Bar J. “We’re trying to get people interested in Dutch ovens again and get their cast iron out,” Henson said. For 1,500 years Dutch ovens have been the staple of European kitch— ens. The thick-walled cast-iron cooking vessel sits over a fire, and when the tight-fitting lid is set, hot coals can be placed on top to give radiant heat to the contents, similar to how a conventional oven operates. They are sturdy, strong, mostly inexpensive and require relatively little upkeep, said Jessica Flock, who

has been commissioned by the Wyoming Humanities Council to speak across the state about Dutch ovens. Around the beginning of the 18th century, Englishman Abraham Darby traveled to Amsterdam and found metallurgists casting molds in dry sand, which gave cast iron a smoother finish. He brought that technique back to the United Kingdom and made some “modern” advancements before the method traveled to the New World. “By the time Abraham Darby is working on Dutch ovens,” Flock said, “the triangular trade across the Atlantic Ocean is alive and well has been for 200 years by now.

Politicking to persist until November 2016 T

298845

Just A Reminder To Remember

he other day a young adult remarked that it’s going to be painful to listen to so much politicking, such as goes on in the media now, clear until November. When informed that it will go on and worse, until November 2016, the enormity of what looms ahead shut down further immediate comment. Not a few months from now. November 2016. Somehow I was reminded of feelings and conclusions I’ve made over years about political campaigns of my youth. So I looked through my 1998 book,”The Curmudgeon Chronicles,” cartoonish cover and all, and found a few essays to repeat here:

Volunteer Mike Shirk tosses chopped ribs into a pot Saturday during the 39th annual Hoback Firefighters Association’s Barbecue and Auction at Snake River Sporting Club in Hoback. About 700 racks of ribs weighing nearly 3,000 pounds were cooked. Preparations for the feast started at 4 p.m. Friday.

Taking a good ribbing Hoback picnic attracts a crowd of die-hard rib fans. By Shannon Sollitt The smell of ribs Saturday really was enough to pull traffic off the road and into Snake River Sporting Club for the Hoback volunteer firefighter picnic. Two tables at the 39th annual fundraiser were occupied by a group clad in patch-decorated leather vests and bandannas. They were bikers on their way to Afton on the fourth leg of their “Run For the Angels” trip that raises cash for children’s Christmas presents. “We smelled ribs and pulled over,” biker Kat Tipton said. “And this is a good cause, so we stopped.” They had also heard about the world-famous ribs, and needed a good meal on the way out, anyway. Tipton’s husband Mike said they passed by their usual lunch spot, the Bird, to see if Hoback’s ribs lived up to their hype. “They’re pretty good,” he said. “Still not as good as mine.” This was the Tiptons’ fifth year participating in the ride on their Honda Goldwing bikes. They had dozens of miles of road ahead of them Saturday, but 1,200 already logged. The “cause for the kids” keeps them coming back year after year, Kat Tipton said. But this year’s detour added some welcomed variety to their ride. For others at the picnic, Hoback firefighter ribs were as old a tradition as they knew. “You’ve got people coming back for 30 some years now,” volunteer Larry Huhn said. “It’s a neighborhood event,” his wife, Barb, explained. Hoback Market owner Mark Kelley said this year’s turnout was almost identical to last year’s, but he thinks the profits were higher. “People paid more for their tickets,” he explained. “They donated more than the cost.” The market donated the food for the barbecue as well as $20 gift certificates to all ticketholders. The number of volunteers combined with the community turnout makes it well worth the cost. The ribs were especially good this year, too, Kelly observed. “Very meaty, and not too fatty,” he observed. Fifty-nine volunteers made this year’s picnic possible. “They come out of the woodwork,” Barb Huhn said.

Kat Tipton enjoys some ribs. Tipton said she and some motorcycling friends pulled off the highway after smelling barbecue while riding to Afton in her fifth Run for the Angels charity ride. The event raises money to purchase Christmas presents for underprivileged kids.

A few diehards had been working for 12 hours cooking the ribs overnight. “And they’re still here,” she said. But the hardest job of the day, Larry Huhn said, was performed by Smokey Bear, who delivered his fire safety lesson from within a heavy costume. As 4 p.m. passed and volunteers began decompressing and deconstructing, a younger volunteer

hobbled through the tables on crutches. “A kid on crutches — it doesn’t get any better than that,” Larry Huhn said, admiring the volunteer’s dedication. “No excuses.” Contact Shannon Sollitt at 733-2047, ext. 121, or intern@jhnewsandguide.com.

Tales of karma elicit laughter and tears From bathroom humor to life lessons, Story Slam entertains audience. By Johanna Love Eight souls braved the microphone, revealing intimate details of their lives, but only three could win. From bathroom humor to a horrifying injury to a tattoo with a typo, their stories revolved around the theme â&#x20AC;&#x153;karma.â&#x20AC;? More than 100 people watched and listened during the Cabin Fever Story Slam on Aug. 10 at the Rose. The rules were simple: Tell a true story in five minutes or less and stick to the theme. Humor was the most implemented technique, but as organizer Leah Shlachter said, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always successful with the judges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Humor doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win Academy Awards,â&#x20AC;? Shlachter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Traditionally, drama wins.â&#x20AC;? More than shared laughter, the four library judges wanted to feel an emotion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Empathy was the driving thingâ&#x20AC;? judges rewarded during the inaugural slams in January and March at Pinky Gâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Shlachter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You experience what they experienced.â&#x20AC;?

frustrating. Yes, it is a good idea to cut down on simple carbohydrates, like white bread and pasta. But eliminating gluten often decreases your intake of high-fiber wheat breads and cereals that help keep digestion balanced, by normalizing the pH in the gut and keeping food moving through the system. Why keep gut speed normal? It reduces the chance for toxins hanging around and causing problems such as colon cancer, diverticulitis and irritable bowel syndrome. Although whole wheat might seem to be the best bread choice it often contains only about 2 grams per slice. Look for higher-fiber breads, which are available locally from brands including Orowheat, Alpine Valley Organic, Crazy Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Wheat Montana. Many provide 3 to 5 grams per piece, by adding extra fiber to the product. How many grams of fiber is the best daily goal? Thirty-five to 40 grams each day is an optimal amount. Eating about 10 grams per meal plus a few extra in snacks makes it easy to hit this mark. High-fiber bread, whole-grain pasta, high-fiber fruits and vegetables and beans all add in to the equation. Other plant foods, like soy, nuts and avocados, fight disease. A handful of nuts, instead of chips, for example is one way to up the health profile. Almonds and avocados contain vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that aids muscle recovery after exercise. Pistachios and walnuts are high in Omega-3 fats that are anti-inflammatory and treat arthritis. Keep the portions small to avoid excess calories. Soy has been given a bad rap among the Internet nutrition sites, but it is a powerful preventive and therapeutic treatment. According to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The China Study,â&#x20AC;? a book about the root causes of cancer, people who ate more plant foods, including soy, had less cancer. Those who ate more animal protein had a higher risk for cancers.

Do not forget herbs and spices in your kitchen medicine cabinet. Most are helpful, but here are a few specific highlights: Fenugreek is known to lower blood sugar, which is especially helpful for people with diabetes. Cinnamon also seems to lower blood sugar, although the study results are mixed. Tumeric, found as a spice or in curry powder and yellow mustard, is a powerful anti-inflammatory to fight arthritis. It also prevents and treats cancer. Herbs and spices can be obtained in capsules if adding them to foods is difficult. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget about the liquid medicines. Coffee is known to help decrease risk for Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease as well as treat constipation. Black and green tea contain powerful antioxidants known to treat cancers. And a glass of red wine, for those who do not have an addiction to alcohol or other drugs, can help prevent heart and other vascular diseases. Do not forget our wonderful high-mountain water. Rich in minerals, hard water helps fight stroke and heart disease. And keeping the body hydrated lubricates joints, keeps the brain in tip-top shape and decreases risk for a blood clot. Make a few changes each week, or do it all at once. The choice is yours, but keep in mind that the benefits can decrease or eliminate your need for prescription medications. Keep a food journal and note how well you feel. If you have high blood pressure or high blood sugar, keep track of these numbers with home measuring equipment. Then share the good news with your doctor. And watch as the prescriptions are eliminated from your daily life.

Wet days unleash slimy scourge E ach year toward the end of August I write a column summarizing the growing season: the successes and also the failures of gardening here in the Tetons. This year I can sum up my gardens in one word: slugs. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had so much slug damage in all my years of gardening here. Ever. Perhaps it was the oftenrainy weather that brought Marilyn Quinn on this bumper crop of slugs munching their slimy way through my flower and vegetable gardens. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the speed at which my blossoms disappeared. For example, in an effort to get more color into my sadly decimated gardens I planted pots of pansies and petunias and dianthus that I purchased at the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market. Apparently that effort was viewed as fresh food. Within days nothing was left of these pretty flowers except the stems. Telltale silvery slime trails were all over the scenes of the crimes. There have been way too many slugs to collect or to sprinkle with salt, two ways often used to reduce the slug populations. I did, however, set out some pretty little pottery slug traps and filled them with beer. You see, the slugs are attracted to the yeasty smell of the brew, and once they get in the liquid they drown. Unfortunately, my meager killings hardly made a dent in the

Wildflower of the Week: Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Monkeyflower Because Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Monkeyflower grows in clumps it can be showy. The plants can be found along the banks of mountain streams or around seeps at mid to higher elevations. Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Monkeyflower grows a foot or more high. Leaves are located opposite each other on squarish stems. The mediumsize hot pink blossoms have two bright multitudes of slugs. So this was the summer of lacylooking lettuce leaves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lacy from the hundreds of slug-chewed holes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and of sad-looking flower gardens. A never-ending war against slugs. Today I was thinking: What happens to these soft-bodied creatures in the winter? What is this animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy for survival? Of course the winter months are much too frigid for slugs to last in the soil or under the rocks where they hide in the summer. Hmm.

yellow patches in their funnel-shaped throats and bloom in profusion near the top of the multistemmed plants. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bet the legendary Lewis and Clark expedition that explored the western United States in the early 1800s saw a lot of this pretty wildflower, for it is named after Capt. Meriwether Lewis. The answer to this puzzle is that dormant egg masses are laid in the fall, and they overwinter and hatch the following spring when the weather warms up. I can only hope that the numbers of slugs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as high next summer. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll worry about that later. Marilyn Quinn has a green thumb, so once per week in summer she shares her gardening tips with readers. Contact her via columnists@ jhnewsandguide.com.

Rocket likes work, enjoys kids and cats

Our pet of the week is Rocket. He is a young, driven and athletic terrier mix. He would much rather be put to work than be a lap dog, but he still enjoys the company of people. He is great with kids, cats and other dogs. He can be a little stubborn, but his underbite is sure to win you over. There are many dogs and cats available for adoption at the Jackson/ Teton County Animal Shelter, which is 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 are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The C-Word

Golf for Good One of the St. John’s Hospital Foundation’s major fundraising events, the auxiliary’s Charity Golf Tournament, is Monday at Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis. This year marks the event’s 24th year. Throughout my cancer treatment the Hospital Foundation has been wonderfully helpful, mostly through its Oncology Fund. While the Hospital Foundation helps patients with all sorts of illnesses and injuries, this year’s golf tournament will help breast cancer patients — before they know they’re breast cancer patients. Money raised this year kick-starts the auxiliary’s pledge to help the hospital buy a 3-D mammography machine, which can significantly improve cancer detection rates. Go to StJohnsHospitalFoundation.org for information and an entry form. Individual entries cost $250. The registration desk opens at 11 a.m. Monday.

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty I had no sense of the passage of time, but it felt like the X-rays took forever. It also felt like it was the longest-ever version of “Paradise City” playing. Or that maybe the song was on a continuous loop. The X-rays had to be finished and the radiation started? I flinched at every click the machine made and every time its mismatched arms whirred around. I squeezed my eyes shut in case the beams could blind me. Since my left arm was falling asleep — I had stopped feeling my left hand two verses ago — I released it from the clasp of my right hand and began moving its fingers as much as I dared. I imagine the radiation techs safely in their room watching me on the camera and wondering if I was petting an imaginary cat. Take me home (oh won’t you please take me home) The tech came back in. Me: “Are we finished?” Tech: “Everything looks just like it should. We’re done with the X-rays. Now I’m going to draw on you with some water-soluble markers. Then the doctor is going to come in and

make sure everything is as it should be. Then the radiation starts.” Me: “Oh, I thought it might already be finished. Will I feel anything when it happens? Tech: “You won’t feel a thing and you won’t see a thing.” When the doctor came in to check the rainbow of markings across my right breast, under my right armpit and around my right collarbone I couldn’t see her. She came at me from the right. I could feel the slight squeeze she gave my right leg. Doctor: “Everything looks great.” Motley Crue’s “Girls, Girls, Girls” came on. I remembered a 12-year-old me dancing around my best friend Bonnie’s bedroom the summer that song first came out. I wished I was dancing around Bonnie’s bedroom. Instead it was time to get my radiation on. The tech left the room. I closed my eyes, just in case the radiation beams could hurt them. Also to keep the tears in. The 33 or 36 sessions of radiation I’m getting decreases the chance cancer will come back. But there’s a 7 percent chance the radiation itself will cause additional cancer. This is f---ed. The 40-mile runs and 200-mile bike rides I used to make my body suffer through look like a cakewalk compared to the abuse these cancer treatments inflict on it. My GI tract still hasn’t recovered from chemo. See radiation on 9B

Hyper-El Nino this year may already be overhyped

he comments and questions are starting to come more often about how the current El Nino will affect our winter. I blame the bigger media outlets for creating this hype by attaching monikers to their headlines like: “Super El Nino,” “Strongest El Nino Ever” and my personal favorite, “The Great Godzilla of an El Nino.” These headlines make me want to throw up, especially since nothing extraordinary is actually happening yet. To squelch some of the hype, by way of plain-old scientific explanation, I’ll tell you what El Nino is, what the current and forecasted state of the El Nino is and what effects this El Nino might have on weather patterns this winter. In particular I’ll explain what it might mean for snowfall in Jackson Hole.

flow pattern may occur. Ocean temperatures down near the equator are relatively warm to start with, but during an El Nino they may get 1 or 2 degrees warmer. That creates more thunderstorm activity over the ocean, and the effects of that extend into the upper atmospheric circulation. And voila, we have a disruption of the “normal” atmospheric circulation, which translates to a change in the weather patterns north and south of the Equator.

Past prediction didn’t pan out

In May 2014 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists were predicting that a “Super El Nino” would develop for the fall and winter of 2014-15. That never materialized. El Nino conditions (warmer sea surface Not really a monster temperatures) didn’t show up until this El Nino is not a monster storm or a past March, too late to disrupt winter series of monster storms that guaranweather patterns in the northern Pacific. Jim Woodmencey tees copious snow. I will guarantee you, During this past May, June and July though, that every major weather event between average sea surface temperatures warmed up to 1 now and next spring will be blamed on El Nino. degree Celsius above the average in some parts of El Nino is part of a larger phenomenon that has the ocean. Winds were not reversing yet, but they to do with the sea surface temperature in the equa- were slowing down, and more convection was nottorial Pacific, collectively known as the El Nino ed — that is, more thunderstorms were showing Southern Oscillation. ENSO comes in three flavors: up on the satellite photos.

normal, for their three-month average sea surface temperatures in November-December-January.

Don’t hold your breath Usually during El Nino winters the jet stream, or storm track, tends to dip farther south in the northern Pacific, moving over California and the southwestern United States, then cruising across the southeastern U.S., keeping those locations wetter than normal in winter. In 1997-98 and 1982-83 the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California had huge winter snowfalls, both attributed to the strong El Nino. The Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies are a bit too far north of the storm track during strong El Ninos to reap the same benefits. The opposite, though, is true during strong La Nina winters, when the storm track usually does favor the Pacific Northwest and Jackson Hole and leaves California and the Southwest dry. During the strongest El Nino winter of 1997-98 Jackson had average snowfall in town and just-aboveaverage snowfall in the mountains. In the El Nino winter of 1982-83 we had below-average snowfall, both in town and in the mountains. When I take into account all the El Nino years, weak and strong, it’s a 50-50 proposition for Jackson Hole. Half the El Ninos ended up with above normal snowfall around here; half had below normal snowfall. So I wouldn’t get too hyped up just yet about this “Giangundous El Nino 2015” for Jackson Hole. It might make for a bigger snowfall winter here, or it might not. Unless you live in Tahoe. Then it’s going to be huge, for sure, dude!

By the time I was back out in the waiting room, my left arm, which had completely fallen asleep, had come back to life. That was good because I needed a hug. Since Derek wasn’t coming to Bend until the following week, it was my friend Jill — who took time out of her life in Midway, Utah, to drive to Bend with me and be there for my first several treatments — who was ready and waiting.

“We’ll get through this,” she said. Maybe because she has serious health problems of her own, I believed her. Still, in her arms I cried a few more tears. Thirty minutes later, though, as she was smearing emu oil — derived from birds’ fat — all over my radiated areas, we were laughing. Emu oil might help my radiated skin keep some of its elasticity, and it might help

iron CHEFS Continued from cover

Ronnie Henson scoops biscuits out of a Dutch oven at the Bar J Chuckwagon near Wilson. His wife, Jody, swears by cast iron for cooking rib-eye steaks, too.

OVRYAN JONES / NEWS&GUIDE

Remington frequently worked them into their paintings. The Dutch oven is as ingrained in Western heritage as the buffalo. Since the advent of electric and gas ovens in the 1920s the Dutch oven has steadily been phased out of popular cooking. But across Wyoming a strong contingent of campfire cooks continues to carry cast irons on camping trips. Some, like Jackson native Jim Ligori, have several sets of cast iron cookery. One is designed for indoor use, while the other is coated in soot from all of his camping trips. “My wife doesn’t like it when they come in the kitchen,” he joked. While many people can set their Dutch oven early in the day and take off on a hike to find dinner ready upon return, Ligori argues that using one requires patience and oversight. “It’s something that you have to regulate and watch,” he said. “I’ve cooked everything in Dutch ovens from peach cobbler to biscuits to prime rib. You can pretty much cook anything in it if you figure out the heat and regulation.” Some recipes call for 10 briquettes on the bottom and six on top; others call for a 3-to-2 or 2-to-1 bottom-to-top charcoal ratio. It took 20-plus years of trial and error for Ligori to find the proper proportions, but there are other techniques beyond charcoal placement. “I pick up the whole oven and twist it every 25 minutes or so,” he said. “It’s a lot of just learning as you go.” For Ligori the Dutch oven is a tradition passed down from his father. For Flock the major draw is the versatility. She can make barbecued ribs in her Dutch oven, wipe it clean and then prepare a triple-berry cobbler to finish the same meal. Jody Henson, Ronnie Henson’s wife, swears cast iron makes the best steak. “Get you a good rib-eye, turn that cast iron on high until it’s screaming hot — you can’t do that with Teflon, it’ll make you sick,” she said. “Put your steaks in and cover with tin foil. Hit it for four minutes a side, let it sit for five minutes to redistribute the liquid. “That’ll make you a good steak. Ain’t anything better.” Unlike Grandma’s cookies or Mom’s pasta sauce, Dutch oven cooking comes with a community that is willing to share recipes, tips and techniques. “Any time people ask me for recipes,” Flock said, “I certainly share mine.” Paul Bruun, the News&Guide’s Outdoors columnist, feels the same. He owns a couple of Dutch ovens that traveled with him through college and during his time in the military. “If I have to pick something that I love doing in a Dutch oven it’s liver and onions,” he said. When Bruun was in college he made that family recipe for a few friends but was accosted in the kitchen by a know-itall roommate. “I said, ‘Look, if you know so much about cooking you finish it up,’ and I walked out,” he said. When Bruun came back the next day a housekeeper was chiseling scorched liver

Ronnie Henson shows off the coloration of biscuits he cooked using a Dutch oven at the Bar J Chuckwagon. He’s been with the Bar J for 15 years.

First step to cast iron cooking: seasoning Jackson native Jim Ligori has cooked with cast-iron pots and pans for more than 20 years and has made everything from peach cobbler to biscuits to prime rib. “You can pretty much do anything in it if you can figure out the heat or regulation of it,” he said. But it all begins with the seasoning. When you buy a cast iron, there are a few steps to ensure the seasoning locks in all oils to come and offers a nonstick surface. First off, wash the container with hot soapy water because you have to remove the waxy rustproof film. This will be the only time you ever use soap to clean your cast iron. Next, coat every surface — top, bottom, handle, edges, everything — with a vegetable shortening. “I like Crisco because it’s readily available,” Ligori said. “I don’t like the liquid, although it does work.” Solid vegetable oil “spreads better.” Stick the cast iron and all of its coated components in the oven at around 200 degrees to get the first off the bottom of his skillet. “I can get it back into shape,” the housekeeper told him. People let the flavor build up on their cast irons for decades. During cleaning the key is to never use soap, because the detergent will seep into the iron’s porous surface and distort the flavors of the food. In fact, you should rarely wash Dutch ovens because the water will remove the essential oils that keep the pots and pans from rusting. But burned foods can ruin years of work. As any aficionado will tell you, the secret to maintaining Dutch ovens is in keeping that seasoning. Not the herbs and spices that are sprinkled on a dish, but a flavor-sealing coating that helps make the pots and pans nonstick and that gains more and more flavor with each use. When a cast iron is first purchased, it must be seasoned (see box above). As the

Lazy Cobbler recipe While each person finds his or her own way to tweak a recipe — Ronnie Henson measures heat in shovels’ worth of coal; Jim Ligori spaces coals out evenly — it always helps to start with a basic recipe and work the ingredients and heat to your own liking. Plenty of Dutch oven cookbooks exist, but the Lodge Manufacturing “Camp Dutch Oven Cooking 101” is a great place to start for tips, tricks, techniques and, of course, recipes. Because life is unpredictable, never deny yourself a good dessert, and is there a more classic campfire accoutrement than peach cobbler? Here is one recipe, courtesy of Lodge, that is perfect for any beginner: Lazy Cobbler.

Doris Platts makes a Dutch oven pot roast on a day ride in Yellowstone National Park in August 1980.

Directions Start by heating the Dutch oven over 15 hot

charcoal briquettes. Add 60 ounces of canned peaches, still in the syrup, to the oven. Spread one package of dry white or yellow cake mix over the peaches and flavor with a few spoonfuls of cinnamon. Spread 1/3 stick of butter over the entire contents. Cooking trick from Jody Henson: Freeze the butter and then grate it over the ingredients. That creates a more even distribution and is much easier to spread. Seal the lid in place and top it off with 10 hot charcoal briquettes in a checkerboard pattern. Let the contents bake for about 45 minutes, then spoon the cobbler into bowls with ice cream or whipped cream for maximum sugary delight. This dish cooked in a 12-inch Dutch oven should feed eight.

coating nice and hot. It might help to place a baking sheet underneath the pan to catch all residue that cooks off the surfaces. Remove the pan and add another layer of shortening. Put it back in the oven for 15 minutes. It will start to smoke. Don’t be alarmed: That’s supposed to happen. Just open the windows and pray you don’t have to reseason your pans come wintertime. Pull the pan out, pat it down, reapply Crisco and throw back in the oven. This step should be repeated three times. On the last replacement in the oven bring the temperature up to about 350 degrees and let the pan sit in the oven for about 90 minutes. Some people say this final step should take at least three hours and as many as six. The risk is that if you didn’t properly season your cast iron pieces the coating will chip off, leaving bits of the pan exposed to oxidation and making it likely that eggs will stick to the bottom. shortening smokes it bakes into a thin patina that fills in the pores in the metal. “It feels like baby skin,” Ronnie Henson said. “Nothing will stick to that, I swear.” Over the years that layer will grow and absorb the grease, season and oils of every dish; this is what gives cast irons their appeal. And the pans can still be scratched, scraped and beat up without having to worry about removing the seasoning. Jody Henson’s cast irons are more than 100 years old. She inherited them from her mother and has replaced the seasoning only a handful of times. “It puts the taste in your food,” she said. Cooking with cast iron is also healthy. Trace amounts of iron leach into foods, which is a good thing when considering that iron deficiency is a global problem. Cooking acidic foods in cast iron can increase the iron content by as much as 20 percent. There is only one American producer of cast iron cookware remaining, but Lodge Manufacturing makes a number of items for any recipe. Cast iron molds for bakeware, serving griddles and an arsenal of skillets and Dutch ovens can be found in most outfitting stores. In Jackson, Stone Drug and Big R Ranch carry varieties of cast irons and accessories for reasonable prices. Most skillets cost less than $40, and Dutch ovens are generally double that. Scott Mollinet, a sales representative at Big R Ranch, doesn’t see the need to buy too many pieces unless you are cooking for large groups of people. “There’s a billion things you can make with your one pan,” he said.

Ecowatch Park to kill exotic fish in Kelly springs Grand Teton National Park has proposed to use a fish poison called rotenone to remove non-native species from a small geothermally heated pool near Kelly. Kelly Warm Springs has for decades harbored exotic species such as cichlids, goldfish and bullfrogs. In recent years goldfish have been found in Ditch Creek â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which connects to the spring â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as close as 10 yards from the Snake River. Comments on the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan are being accepted through Sept. 3. To send comments electronically go online to ParkPlanning.nps.gov/kellywarmspring. Letters can also be mailed to Grand Teton National Park, Attn.: Carol Cunningham, P.O. Box 170, Moose, WY 83012. Call Cunningham with questions at 739-3467.

Wolverine expert to talk at library The next event in the Jackson Hole Conservation Allianceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series of free public talks this summer and fall is scheduled for Aug. 26. At 6 p.m. wildlife researcher Kim Heinemeyer will talk at Teton County Library about how winter recreation affects wolverines. Biologist Susan Patla will lead the last talk of the series on Sept. 22, when she will delve into the issues that affect trumpeter swans and wetlands. For information about the series call the alliance at 733-9417.

Yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;stone seeks snowmobiling comments Yellowstone National Park requests comments on its draft Winter Use Adaptive Management

Plan, which uses science and public input to alter the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oversnow vehicle regulations. The deadline for comments is Friday. For comment forms visit ParkPlanning.nps.gov/wuamp. The final plan is scheduled for release in 2016.

Help shape E. coli regulations The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality will hold a public meeting in Casper on Sept. 16 to give people a chance to weigh in on a downgrade of E. coli standards on small streams throughout the state. The Environmental Protection Agency, which hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t approved Wyomingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s change, required the DEQ to hold the public meeting. It has been scheduled for 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission building. The DEQ plan slashed standards for E. coli concentrations in streams that on average move less than 6 cubic feet of water per second. In total 76 percent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waters were affected by the change. Public comments on the DEQâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan should be mailed by Sept. 16 and sent to David Waterstreet, Watershed Section Manager, 122 W. 25th St., Herschler Building 4-W, Cheyenne, WY 82002. They can also be faxed to Waterstreet at 307-777-5973.

Review the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;impairedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; waters list The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality has invited the public to weigh in on a statewide report that summarizes water quality and assesses impaired and threatened waters. Among many changes, the DEQâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 305(b) and 303(d) report removes a small stream in the Bon-

durant area from the impaired list because water-monitoring data that found high E. coli levels were determined to be noncredible. The DEQâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, updated every two years, was first put out for public comment late last year. The current draft report has been released with the DEQâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responses. To view the plan or the response to comments go to Content.GovDelivery.com/accounts/WYDEQ/ bulletins/1124d8a. Written comments should be submitted to Richard Thorp at WDEQ/WQD, Herschler Building 4-W, 122 W. 25th St., Cheyenne, WY 82002. They can also be faxed to Thorp at 307-777-5973. Emailed comments will not be accepted. Contact Thorp with questions at 307-777-3501. Comments are due by Sept. 22.

Weigh in on forest fuels reduction plan The Bridger-Teton National Forestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Teton-toSnake Fuels Reduction Project is back on the table and is being opened to public review. The project, meant to protect subdivisions near forestland from wildfire, includes 1,757 acres of forest thinning and another 12,524 acres of controlled burns. Snags would be removed in 27 areas and 7 miles of precautionary fire line would be built if the Bridger-Tetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferred plan is OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d as is. The Bridger-Teton is accepting comments through Sept. 25. Visit TinyURL.com/tetontosnakefuels to send them electronically.

Obituaries

Waters, 90, loved golf, travel and sunshine A memorial service was held Aug. 10 for longtime valley resident Dorothy “Dottie” Waters, who died March 29 at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. She was 90. Her family provided the following. Dottie was born Dec. 7, 1924, in Blooming Glen, Pennsylvania, to Clarence and Mary Magdalene Detweiler. She was the second child in a family of four brothers and one sister. When Dottie was a girl her mom worked at the baseball factory. She encouraged Dottie to get a job, and so she, too, worked many years stitching baseballs. Dottie attended elementary school in Blooming Glen and high school in Perkasie, Pennsylvania. After high school Dottie met a charming young gentleman who swept her off her feet, and soon wedding bells were ringing. Dottie and Burnie were married on Aug. 5, 1945, while he was in the military. Burnie served four years in the Navy, and two years later he was recalled to active duty during the Korean War. After the Korean War he signed up in the reserves and served with an accumulation of 40-plus years. Before long they were blessed with a beautiful baby girl. They named her Carol Kay. When Carol was 13 they packed their many possessions and left Pennsylvania to move to Jackson Hole. Dottie worked at the Cold Storage, the Jackson Trading Post and Paul Hanson’s Gift Shop. Burnie worked at Imeson Texaco. He loved

his music and was often found playing the drums at the Cowboy Bar and the Wort Hotel at night. Music was Burnie’s passion. Carol and friends remember Burnie playing drums at many of the high school dances. An excellent drummer he will always be. Dottie and Burnie were able to travel some with the music they both loved. Dottie treasured those times as the source of her most cherished memories. It was a Waters time when she made many wonderful lifetime friends. In the early ’70s Burnie and Dottie packed up once again, this time moving to Pinedale. Dottie worked at a small store in Cora and later worked for many years at Faler’s in Pinedale. She loved clerking at the grocery store and made lots of friends. While living in Pinedale, Burnie and Dottie began to take different paths in their lives, and they later divorced. Dottie moved back to Pennsylvania, where she could be near her family. She lived in Pennsylvania for about four years, but Wyoming began to call her back. Once again she relocated in Pinedale. During those years Dottie was faced with a new challenge in life: She was diagnosed with colon cancer. After surgery and the many,

many prayers of friends and family she won the battle for her life. She always thanked God for healing her body and allowing her to have a second chance at life. Dottie decided she was going to live life and enjoy every day she had been given. After she was fully recovered she moved to Jackson to be near Carol. Dottie moved into the Pioneer Homestead Apartments in 1996. Once again, doing what she loved, she found work as a grocery clerk. She checked groceries at Albertsons, made lots of new friends and worked until she was 80 years young. Then one day she announced that she wanted to retire and “go play,” and that’s exactly what she did. She had a dear friend who wanted to see the world, so together they traveled to many beautiful spots around the globe and saw many countries. They even got to go on several cruises. Winters in Jackson Hole are long and cold, and Dottie was blessed with an opportunity escape to someplace warmer for a time. A good friend who went south in the winter opened her home and invited Dottie to come down. Dottie jumped at the opportunity to spend a few months each year away from those cold winter days. She enjoyed every ray of warm sunshine that came her way. As much as she loved to go south Dottie always welcomed the time to return to Jackson to spend time with her daughter and friends. One of her favorite things to do

was play golf, and one of her proudest moments was when she hit a hole in one. There was no stopping her after that. If she wasn’t playing golf she was watching it every chance she got. Among her many hobbies Dottie loved knitting, playing cards, playing bingo and line dancing with her many friends who also resided at Pioneer Homestead. She was a faithful student at the Bible studies held at the Senior Center of Jackson Hole. Dottie always managed to stay busy and enjoy every day. On Dec. 7, 2014, Carol arranged for a party with cake and ice cream to help celebrate Dottie’s 90th birthday. Many friends stopped in to say hi and to wish her well. She loved every minute with her friends. It was a great day! Dottie died March 29 following complications of surgery in Jackson. She is survived by her daughter, Carol Kay Harris, of Jackson; her sister, Marion Lewis, of Telford, Pennsylvania; her brothers Gordon (Shirley) Detweiler, of Sellersville, Pennsylvania, and Gerald (Catalina) Detweiler, of Perkasie, Pennsylvania; and many nieces and nephews in Florida and Pennsylvania. Dottie was preceded in death by her parents, brother Johnny (Vertie), of Sellersville, and her oldest brother, Harold (Gloria) Detweiler, of Florida. Dottie will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.

Smith, 59, liked to paddle, ski tour and watch birds Catherine Anne Smith, a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, died Aug. 2. She was 59 years old. Her family provided the following. Devoted friends and family surrounded Cathy when she passed in peace at her home in upper Cache Creek after a courageous 15-month battle with cancer. Cathy was born in Ottawa, Ontario, to English parents Irene Ward Smith and Geoffrey Smith. She spent her childhood with three younger siblings in Nashua, New Hampshire. In Nashua, Cathy and her siblings developed a strong sense of community. Having no immediate family in America, she found an extended family in her neighbors. Whether celebrating holidays and milestones, swimming or golfing at the local country club, hiking or skiing the mountains — yes, there are some in New England — Cathy developed a remarkable comfort with all people. Those memories continue today as letters from English cousins, former classmates and neighbors pour in. And with numerous extended vacations to England, where many relatives still live, the family’s connections to England remain strong. Early childhood memories always include doing the twist to the latest Beatles release in the family living room. After graduating from the University of New Hampshire in 1977, Cathy traveled with a group

of friends to spend the winter skiing in Jackson Hole. Cathy never returned to the East other than family vacations. She eventually became owner and operator of Interval Management Services, a successful time-share management business in the Aspens. In the 38 years she called Jackson home Cathy became a tireless, giving caretaker and friend to countless people — friends too numerous, too close and too kind to mention — who, as in Nashua, became her adopted family. As her childhood taught her, family members rarely grow up in the Smith same household. Cathy and her husband of 23 years, architect Carl Detwyler, adopted their daughter, Ella Qing Detwyler, from China in 1997. That connection was what led Cathy to become a volunteer and strong advocate for adoption through Adoption in the Tetons. The family remains close with other adopting families they met when Ella came to her new home. Ella’s passion for horses and competitive event riding brought Cathy to volunteer with the Jackson Hole Therapeutic Riding Association, even though she openly admitted to being “freaked out” every time she saw her daughter make a jump and was

never comfortable around horses. She wholeheartedly supported Ella’s love of horses and boasted about her daughter’s gift as an equestrian. Ella is a rising sophomore at Colorado State University at Fort Collins, studying equine science. Cathy had many indoor and outdoor interests that she shared with friends. She loved books and discussing them with her book group. Her bridge group friends were some of her closest friends. In the summer she enjoyed paddling her kayak on the mountain lakes and ski touring the local trails in the winter. And avid bird lover and watcher, she requested that donations be made in her name to support the Teton Raptor Center in Wilson. And as with her friends, Cathy often took on the role of caregiver with her mother, brother and sisters, always gracious and never expecting anything in return. She was big-hearted with no pretensions, and always with good humor. Her laughter was infectious. Many will feel the void. Cathy is survived by her husband, Carl, and daughter, Ella, mother Irene Smith, sister Julie Smith, brother Michael (Jean Sullivan) Smith, sister Shelley (Robert Zakin) Smith, motherin-law Joann Detwyler and sister-in-law Carol (Walter) Hinton, as well as six nieces and two nephews who knew Cathy as both a devoted aunt and friend. She will be missed beyond words.

Kidd, 82, was dedicated volunteer in New Jersey St. John’s Living Center resident Jean Hyde Kidd died Aug. 3. Her family provided the following. She was 82. Jean was born in Montclair, New Jersey, on July 27, 1933, and attended Watchung School, Montclair State College High School and the Katharine Gibbs School in Montclair. She graduated from Caldwell College. Jean married A. Duncan Kidd in 1955 at Immaculate Conception Church, and they raised three children. As a lifelong resident of Montclair, Jean made a career of the town as a tireless community leader and

volunteer. In the 1970s she was instrumental in the introduction of Magnet Schools to the Montclair Public Schools. Jean’s work experience included serving as executive director of the Adult School of Montclair and as administrative assistant and editor for book auKidd thors, including Peter Drucker and Donald Katz. As a volunteer Jean served as president of the boards of the Adult

School of Montclair and the Montclair Educational Fund, chairman of the May in Montclair Festival Committee, vice president of the Junior League of Montclair-Newark and a member of the boards of the Montclair Chamber of Commerce, the Montclair Civil Rights Commission and the Montclair State University Citizens’ Advisory Committee. Jean worked with the Junior League to create the Senior Care and Activity Center. She held leadership roles with the Montclair Parent-Teacher Association and the Montclair Operetta Club, and she was active at Immaculate Conception Church.

In 2000 she received a Community Volunteer Award from the Service Clubs Council of Montclair. Along with her leadership Jean brightened the lives of her many Montclair friends with her wit and charm; Jean loved Montclair, and Montclair loved her. Jean is survived by her husband, Duncan, her children Laura Couchman, Jay Kidd and Carolyn Little,her sister Carol Gates and six grandchildren. There will be no memorial service, but Jean asked that her friends “do something good for someone else and think of me.” Condolences may be sent to laura.d.couchman@gmail.com.

Ava’s parents and grandparents were there with a camera. Ava behaved perfectly as Mike cut her golden locks. In 2009 her older brother, Connor, received his first haircut at the same barber shop. Mike remembered that Connor was not very pleased. Ava’s family is from Colorado, but her grandparents Michael and Trisha Lavin are 25-year valley residents. They live at Pacific Creek. s The annual Kiwanis Steak Fry

will be held at the Senior Center of Jackson Hole at 6 p.m. Thursday. The suggested donation for those 60 and older is $5. Others pay $10. Call 733-7300 to make your reservation. s The other day I took my parents to Signal Mountain for lunch. My daughter Jami was with us. Halfway through lunch my father had to go to the restroom. Off we went, with him pushing his walker. I didn’t want to open the door of the men’s restroom, so I asked a young man about 12 years old if he would open the door for my dad. He obliged, and I headed to the gift shop to look around. A few minutes after I returned the same young man opened the door for my father to exit. He had stayed with Dad all that time, helping him wash and dry his hands, etc. I thanked the boy over and over for his help. “I want you to know that you just helped a World War II veteran who was also a prisoner of war,” I said. The young man was so moved by that. “Sir, thank you for your service,” he said to my father. Tears ran uncontrollably down my face. For a few moments, all seemed right with the world.

A Resolution Adopting Zero Waste as a Guiding Principle and Supporting the Creation of a Zero Waste Plan WHEREAS, “Zero Waste” is a whole systems approach that aims to change the way materials flow through society, resulting in no waste; Zero waste is a conceptual ideal rather than a hard target, accepted as a waste diversion goal of 90% or better; and, WHEREAS, the Zero Waste philosophy accepts that natural resources must be used in the most ethical, economical and sustainable way possible as earth and human systems are interconnected and interdependent; and, WHEREAS, sustainability is defined as “the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Brundtland Commission of the United Nations, March 20, 1987); and, WHEREAS, the guiding principles of Zero Waste are: managing resources instead of waste; conserving natural resources through waste prevention and recycling; turning discarded resources into jobs and new products instead of trash; promoting products and materials that are durable and recyclable; discouraging products and materials that can only become trash after their use; and using education as a tool to maximize community engagement; and, WHEREAS, the Environmental Stewardship Statement of Strategic Intent for the Town of Jackson, Wyoming government is to “Responsibly manage environmental resources for the benefit of present and future generations,” which includes “Pursue Zero Waste “ as a Strategy; and, WHEREAS, one of the main tenets of the Mission of the Town of Jackson is to appreciate our unique environmental resources and acknowledge our responsibilities to future generations; and, WHEREAS, the program mission of Teton County Integrated Solid Waste and Recycling (ISWR) is to “Reduce, reuse, recycle, and manage municipal solid waste throughout Teton County, Wyoming, in an efficient and environmentally-sound manner”; and, WHEREAS, almost 40,000 tons of waste is generated in Teton County and the Town of Jackson each year by residents, businesses, institutions and visitors, and approximately 70% of this amount is sent over 100 miles away for landfill disposal; and, WHEREAS, current technologies used for incineration and the placement of waste materials in landfills do not meet the goals of zero waste alone and can cause damage to human health and the environment, waste natural resources, and wrongly transfer liabilities to future generations; and, WHEREAS, recognizing that voluntary recycling has not, and in all probability cannot, achieve Zero Waste goals; and, WHEREAS, recognizing that some materials in Teton County and the Town of Jackson’s waste stream may not be divertible; and, WHEREAS, the highest and best uses of waste resources are source reduction, reuse, recycling and composting, in accordance with the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Waste Management Hierarchy; and, WHEREAS, local government has the unique opportunity to lead by example and establish criteria needed to eliminate waste, so that manufacturers produce and businesses sell materials that can be safely recycled or composted; and, WHEREAS, recognizing that capital investments may be required to provide adequate indoor and outdoor space and

infrastructure for expanded recycling and other waste diversion programs is essential; and, WHEREAS, the Teton County Board of County Commissioners, through the adoption of a Teton County Zero Waste Resolution, has directed ISWR staff to develop a Zero Waste Plan for Teton County, which includes the Town of Jackson; and, WHEREAS, increased recycling and composting have the potential to decrease Teton County and the Town of Jackson’s waste disposal costs and ecological footprint. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE JACKSON TOWN COUNCIL: The Jackson Town Council hereby adopts the concept of Zero Waste as a guiding principle for all Town of Jackson operations and for outreach, programs and actions within the community, in alignment with the Town of Jackson’s Statement of Strategic Intent regarding Environmental Stewardship and further the Town Council pledges to work cooperatively with Teton County to meet the community diversion goals.

Popularity of Picnic takes off Gonzales’ Tetons endurance triathlon sees heavy traffic from others this summer. By Clark Forster

quite keep up with Johnson during the street event to start the day. But he got his revenge on Johnson in the bowl. Bupp strung together smooth runs throughout the session and was aided by a daring Johnson, who continued to try to land one big trick to no avail. It was clear the big trick was in Johnson’s repertoire but multiple near misses gave Bupp the bowl title. Johnson settled for runner-up. “I wanted to show everybody what I could do,” Bupp said. The best show of the day may have been put on by Jackson’s Corey Jackson in the bowl event. Jackson competed in the open class against the best skaters the event had to offer. Jackson put his earbuds in before dropping into the bowl and completing trick after trick, constantly wearing a

The Grand Teton triathlon — or “Picnic” as it has come to be called — was first contrived by mountaineer David Gonzales in 2012, but the idea didn’t really gain steam until last summer. Then, after Gonzales’ acquaintances began attempting the adventure, stories were written, photos were shared, tales were told and the word got out. But when July 2014 came to an end Gonzales said fewer than a dozen people had attempted and completed the Picnic. One year later and the number of people trying this truly epic test of physical and mental endurance that encompasses all our landscape has to offer has grown. The Picnic consists of a bike ride from town to Jenny Lake, followed by a swim across the lake and a climb up the Grand Teton. The athlete then reverses course, climbs down the mountain, swims back across the lake and pedals back to town. Last summer’s relatively unknown adventure has now blossomed into a challenge that endurance athletes all over the valley have lined up to attempt. Gonzales, who couldn’t believe that nobody thought of the idea before him, said it was only a matter of time before athletes got behind the concept. “Given the way that multisport adventure has become kind of popular lately I guess I’m not that surprised that people have jumped on the picnic-ing wagon.” A Picnic isn’t limited to Jenny Lake or the Grand, though. A Picnic consists of any sort of bike ride to a water crossing below a

Noah Pacheco, 11, shreds the bowl on Saturday during the Wild West Skate Competition series in Jackson. After taking a spill during the street portion of the competition and cutting open his head, Pacheco kept on skating.

Skaters put on a show Series will continue in Idaho before returning to Jackson in September for its final event. By Clark Forster As the saying goes, skateboarding is not a sport, it’s a lifestyle. The lifestyle was in full effect Saturday as the valley’s best skaters welcomed competition from across the region at the third installment of the 2015 Wild West Skateboard Contest Series. A mini village of sorts surrounded the park on Gregory Lane while kids and adults alike put on a skating display for the judges and a crowd of nearly 100. A disc jockey spun punk rock tracks

next to the Melvin Brewing bus on which the judges sat and assessed the talent from above. The sun was shining bright Saturday but the light wasn’t too bright for the asphalt acrobats, especially not the local talent. Jackson skaters stood atop the podium five times, splitting the four street divisions and sweeping the bowl divisions. The two skaters who found the most success hailed from the 12-andunder division. Arrow Bupp and Jake Johnson swapped firsts and seconds as Johnson won the street event and Bupp took the bowl. “It’s another day I get to skate with my friends but I get to show all of these people that me and my friends can skate,” Bupp said. Bupp took his bumps and bruises throughout the day but continued to get up and compete. He couldn’t

Hoback Sports cyclists star at Pierre’s Hole Six riders from both sides of Teton Pass claim victory at Grand Targhee event. By Clark Forster The seventh annual Pierre’s Hole 50/100 bike race featured a bevy of local cyclists who were able to find the podium Saturday at Grand Targhee Resort. The local list was headlined by six winners in the 19 divisions. Abby Broughton rode for Peaked Sports and took the 100-kilometer open women’s division with

a time of 6 hours, 19 minutes and 49 seconds. Paul Nash, racing for Team Jackson Hole, took a convincing win in the 100-km singlespeed with a time of 6:13:19. Nash defeated Ryon Butterfield by 24:46 for the victory. Hoback Sports was well represented with four division winners plus four podium finishers. Adam Meyer beat locals Jason Berning and fellow Hoback Sports cyclist Max McClorey for first place in the 50-km open men’s division. With Garth Kaufman placing fifth, the division featured four Teton residents on the fiveman podium. Other Hobackers to find spots at the top of the podium were Amy Fulwyler, Eric Balog and

Mark Hershberger. Fulwyler edged out Peaked Sports’ Cynthia Clausen by less than a minute in the 50-km open women’s division. Fulwyler’s time of 2:49:36 gave her a 52-second victory. Balog scored another victory for team Hoback over Peaked Sports when he took down Dan Streubel in the 50-km men’s 40-plus division. Balog’s time of 2:28:45 was 9:17 better than Streubel’s. Hershberger finished his 50 kilometers in 3:02:42 for the win in the masters men’s 50-plus division. He was 7:41 ahead of runner-up Michael Funk. Hoback podium finishers included second- and third-place finishes from brothers Bart and George See pierre’s hole on 5C

When fish hooks, knives and smaller skin-ripping devices are in use, the recommended insurance policies to carry include pliers with a side cutter (fish hooks), sterile alcohol pads, Bacitracin ointment and the ultimate waterproof wound closer, New-Skin.

The Bruuns had yet to learn their lesson. As I was cleaning the dual hook punctures with a sterile alcohol pad, I heard Jean’s cry from the bow. Briefly I’d seen a gyrating smallmouth before its gentle return overboard. I assumed the problem was over before hearing Jean’s cry. “As I released the fish, the lure momentarily snagged the anchor line,” Jean laughingly explained. “Then it came unhooked, flew backwards and cut my finger.” The hand cleanup detail continued, bolstered by doses of Bacitracin ointment and coverage by supposedly waterproof bandages.

Bandages were not enough A few minutes later Jean’s finger was wearing one of Ron (Stone Drug) Jacobson’s custom yellow perch diving crankbaits and also dragging an attached chubby smallmouth. “I think I’ll need some help,” she remarked as it was my turn to subdue the corpulent bass and carefully unhook it. The weight of a wiggling fish suspended from a lure stuck in your hand is painful, despite the funny picture it depicts. Such situations are why my belt-holstered fishing pliers (and a necklace with hemostats and clippers) are always handy. What good are pliers and other tools at a chair or central console when your impalement emergency is in the bow or stern of the boat? There is a thorough article on various fishhook removal techniques on

Fishing report week of August 19 th We are coming into our favorite time of the year and the fishing on the Snake is good and getting better. Late August and September offer great opportunities for both wading and floating anglers. As the tributaries come down, the flows on the Snake start to subside. Currently the flows on the Snake are ideal. Wade fishermen have more options and greater mobility on the Snake at these lower flows. With the large nature of the

Snake, it can be daunting to wade fish, but when you approach the Snake on foot, break it down into smaller rivers by looking for side channels and softer moving water. The fish are going to be looking for spots that require the least amount of energy to find their prey, so look for the slower banks, drop offs, slow tail outs and large woody debris. Keep fishing hoppers while they are still out!

the American Family Physician website. A survey of Jean’s hooked finger appeared ripe for a push down on the treble hook eye and a quick backward tug with needle nose piers to back out the point. Normally it is easier to do this with a loop of fly line around the hook bend. Any floating fly line is thick, easy to grip and stout enough to pop fly hooks out of most fleshy body parts. In this case pliers were quicker and worked nicely since fly line wasn’t handy. Between us, we now had four hand punctures and bandages weren’t going to be the solution. That’s when New-Skin liquid bandage saves the day and a trip. NewSkin closes minor skin wounds and also has antiseptic. Formerly a product sold by Jackson-based Medtec and the Bill Weiss family, New-Skin is now distributed by Prestige Brands Co. One-ounce New-Skin containers live in all my fishing boats, tackle bags and first aid kits. Its sticky ability even puts wounded fly patterns back together during the Jackson Hole One Fly event. Before your next potential puncture-a-thon, I recommend getting a tetanus shot, preparing for minor wound treatment and consider fishing more barbless hooks. Both you and the fish will be appreciative. Paul Bruun writes weekly on his adventures and misadventures in the great outdoors. Contact him via columnists@jhnewsandguide.com.

Ben Holloway hikes across the National Elk Refuge at dawn Saturday, the opening day of bison hunting season.

All quiet so far on the bison front Hunters come up empty on Elk Refuge and national forest. By Clark Forster Bison have been scoring victories over tourists throughout the summer, and on opening weekend of the 201516 bison hunting season the animals scored another victory, this time over hunters. The sound of gunfire was not to be heard as hunters came up empty, both on the National Elk Refuge and in the national forest. “To my knowledge and to our knowledge here at the office we’re not aware of any that were taken,” Wyoming Game and Fish Department spokesman Mark Gocke said. The hunting season on the refuge, which lasts through Jan. 15, is off to a slow start. In 2014 there were 321 hunters, and 299 bison were harvested, for a success rate of 93 percent.

But it’s tough to kill an animal when there are no animals around. “We went and looked on Friday and did not see any on the refuge,” Gocke said. Ten bison were harvested on opening day in 2014, and 13 were taken in 2013. The opening-day goose egg is a rarity, Gocke said. “I think this was the first time that there haven’t been any taken, to my knowledge,” he said. “They really move around, these bison herds. They’re constantly on the move.” Part of the Jackson Bison Herd was seen just outside the hunting boundary north toward Kelly on Saturday, but the animals never moved onto the refuge. Approximately 170 calves are expected to be added to the herd’s population this year. That means the department would like hunters to harvest more than 170 animals to further reduce the year’s population. Game and Fish would like to achieve a mid-winter objective of 500 bison.

To get there the department would prefer to see 230 animals harvested for the 311 tags issued for the season. The population is now 38 percent above the 500-animal objective. Though the season is off to a slow start, Game and Fish isn’t concerned. “The bulk of the bison harvest does take place later when we start getting some weather and cold temperatures, and snow usually tends to start moving the bison onto the National Elk Refuge,” Gocke said. “The latter part of the hunt season is usually when the most animals are taken.” In 2014 bison consistently occupied areas of the refuge from late November through the end of the hunting season. Game and Fish said that bison typically don’t move to the refuge until late December, and that the presence of bison on the refuge for nearly two months resulted in high harvest success.

The three-day doubles-only tournament featured divisions in 8.0, 7.0, 6.0, mixed doubles and parent-child. Mike Santomauro and Jim Bowles teamed to take down Jackson Livingood and Julie Weinberger in three sets to win the 8.0 division. In the 7.0 final George Dreher and Hayes Flynn beat Nick and Nancy Zawacki in straight sets for the title. Jack Farrar and Maggie Land won the 6.0 title, beating Kevin Ertl and Susan Jones in straight sets. Bowles was back at it again in the mixed doubles final. He teamed with wife Joy Bowles to defeat Livingood and Weinberger in straight sets. Mike and Jackson Santamauro needed three sets to beat Ana and Max Chapman in the parentchild final. This year’s tournament was dedicated to the memory of Billy Frank, who died in April. The Billy Frank Most Inspirational award was given to Farrar and Land for their competitive spirit. The annual tournament is a fundraiser for the St. John’s Hospital Diabetes Fund to provide care and education for people with diabetes, regardless of their ability to pay. The tournament has raised more than $400,000 since 2001.

All-Broncs team wins relay Jackson Hole High School and Jackson Hole Middle School students and two alumni teamed up to win the Grand Teton Relay on Friday and Saturday in Idaho and Wyoming. Team Savage Squad won the 180-mile relay race from Ashton, Idaho, to Teton Village with a blistering time of 23 hours and 57 minutes. That time easily beat runner-up Flaming Tortoise, which crossed the finish line 1:23 later for second place. Eleven members made up Team Savage Squad: Kameron Moroneso, Brad Riotto, Abby Brazil, Sarah Bentlage, Anna Gibson, Jacob Bentlage, Rosalie Daval, Seth Palmquist, Emmie Gocke, Matt Wan and Laura McLennan. The ages of the team members ranged from 12 to 20.

Talk backcountry safety St. John’s Medical Center will host the lunchtime learning presentation “Backcountry Safety Update 2015” at Teton County Library from noon to 1 p.m. Aug. 25. A Grand Teton National Park ranger will give tips on how to enjoy the park while staying safe. The presentation will include updates on wildlife, hiking, water and camping. For information call 739-7244 or 739-7242. The presentation is part of St. John’s Medical Center’s Words on Wellness program, supported in part by the St. John’s Hospital Foundation.

Hikers to view petroglyphs Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation Department will visit the Dubois Museum and hike among the Torrey Lake Petroglyphs, and anyone age 18 and older is welcome to join. The cost of the trip is $55, and the deadline to register is 4 p.m. Sept. 3. The trip will depart from the rec center at 7:30 a.m. and return to Jackson in the late afternoon. The museum staff will guide the group to the Native American petroglyphs. The Dinwoody-tradition petroglyphs, a type of rock art, are ancient images pecked into large boulders scattered throughout the Torrey Valley. Many archaeologist believe the petroglyphs were made by ancestors of the modern-day Shoshone people. The hikes will be minimal distance but will involve some steep climbs. Trekking poles are recommended. Hikers are asked to bring rain gear, sunscreen, a hat, snacks and water.

DEADLINES

smile. By the time the bowl competition was halfway through it was clear Jackson was the man to beat. The level of anticipation rose each time he dropped in the bowl. When all was said and done, event emcee Jeff Moran said that he’d never seen half the tricks Jackson pulled off to the delight of the crowd. “It just turns into a session,” Jackson said of the zone he was in. “One trick leads to the next, and I tend to never really put them down like that.” Jackson’s efforts helped him easily take the competition over runner-up Sam Litzelman. The 13-18 age group featured another clear winner in the bowl as Jackson’s Ethan Beech spent the majority of his runs circling the rim. Beech consistently impressed the judges by skimming the rim of the bowl before dropping back in at high speeds. Beech needed to be on his game as fellow Jacksonite Isaac Puente put down a handful of stylish bean plants, earning him runnerup honors.

Cross-country hopes to equal 2014 success Boys and girls teams expected to compete for state championships. By Clark Forster Jackson cross-country teams are coming off a 2014 season that saw the boys team finish second in the state while the girls captured their third state title. The boys team returns its top three runners from the state meet, and the girls return their top five. Great expectations abound for 2015 and for good reason. The boys are expected to be led by senior Matt Wan and Cheyenne Central transfer Matt Williams. Wan finished eighth in the 3A state meet in 2014, leading the way for the Broncs with a time of 17 minutes and 17 seconds. Williams, a sophomore, finished 38th in the 4A state meet with an impressive time of 17:41.

“To be honest, the goal is that national berth, and that’s a big leap to take.” — Jeff Brazil JACKSON HOLE HIGH SCHOOL CROSS-COUNTRY COACH

Out of the seven runners to finish ahead of Wan at last year’s state meet, five were seniors who have now graduated. The two returning are Star Valley’s Shane Henderson, who finished fourth with a time of 16:22, and Cody’s Brody Smith, who won the title with a time of 15:45. Breaking into the 15s or low 16s to beat those two will prove difficult for Wan and Williams, but Jackson coach Jeff Brazil said he’ll take his two runners over almost anyone else in the state. “Other than those two I do think that Wan and Williams can compete with anybody out there,” he said.

Jackson’s Emmie Gocke and Eireann O’Connor fight for position at the 2014 Nike Cross Regional Race in Boise, Idaho. The Lady Broncs will look to achieve a berth at nationals when they compete at the race again this year in November.

Jackson will feature a strong top four on the boys side as juniors Seth Palmquist and Max Wilbrecht each return. Both runners finished in the top 15 last year at state. Brazil said he’s still looking for that critical fifth runner to score points for the team, but he said he’s got lots of options. Senior Tyson Danby turned in a sub19 time at last year’s state meet and is expected to compete with a large group of newcomers. Brazil said he’s excited about incoming freshman Dylan Nash as well as two varsity soccer players — seniors Jack Fenn and Tristan

Wagner — who will give cross-country a try in 2015. The returning runners and the new additions give Brazil no reason to think the team can’t equal its 2014 success. But catching the defending state champion Star Valley Braves, a team that Brazil calls a “juggernaut,” will be an uphill task. “We’ll take our shot at Star Valley, but that’s kind of a steep hill to climb,” Brazil said. The girls will be the ones with targets on their backs as they aim to retain state supremacy while gaining national recognition.

BRONCS SPORTS

Three weeks after the team tries to repeat at state it will head to Boise, Idaho, for the Nike Cross Northwest Regional. At the invite-only event, the girls will need to finish second among the best prep teams from Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii to move onto nationals Dec. 5 in Portland, Oregon. In 2014, the team’s first year competing at regionals, the girls finished in 10th place. “To be honest the goal is that national berth, and that’s a big leap to take,” Brazil said. “It’s a huge leap from 10th to second, but you never know.” Jackson will once again be led by its dominant cornucopia of junior See cross-country on 7C

well.” Livingood and Frank join a host of other returning players who make up the deepest team Weinberger’s had in her three years as head coach. “This is probably the strongest boys team we have had during our time,” Weinberger said. “It’s definitely the deepest team we’ve had. I think in the past maybe we’ve had certain positions be a little stronger, but overall the depth throughout the team is probably the best we’ve had.” The girls team lost its No. 2 singles player in Karli Rambo but will return No. 1 Ellie Kucera and the No. 2 doubles team of sophomores Aliea Ednie and Ann Shea. But last year’s positioning will have no bearing on who takes the top spots for the Lady Broncs in 2015, Weinberger said. “They still need to fight for those No. 1 spots as there’s some others who want those spots as well,” she said. The No. 1 doubles positions will be up for grabs because half the team was lost with the graduation of Claire French. In 2014 French teamed with sister Kristina in the No. 1 doubles spot. Kristina French will return as a senior this season. The boys and girls teams are flooded with upperclassmen, and Weinberger said she is excited to have such an experienced bunch. “We’ve got most of the team back,” she said. “We’ve got a lot of juniors and seniors on the team this year which is good. It means we have quite a bit of experience.”

“Jackson has been playing a ton of tennis this summer,” Weinberger said. “He’s playing really

By Clark Forster Competition started immediately for Jackson Hole High School tennis players when they conducted their first practice of the season Monday. Coach Julie Weinberger said a deep boys team will fight for roster spots before its Aug. 27 opener versus Gillette. The girls will also battle for positions as they look to fill a couple of holes left by last year’s outgoing seniors. “On the boys side especially we’ve got a really, really talented group this year,” Weinberger said. “In fact I’m really struggling with the fact that I’m going to have to make cuts.” The boys team lost three major contributors off last year’s team in Josh Gilmore, Marshall Pomeroy and Fuller Ross. But Weinberger said there’s a long line to replace them. That line starts with senior Ryan Levy who returns to the team after missing his junior season. Levy was a solid contributor as an underclassmen, and Weinberger expects him to be even better as a senior. The coach also said she expects two freshmen, Nate Fairbanks and Brooks Bradford, to compete for spots on the doubles roster. Last year’s No. 1 singles player Jackson Livingood, as well as half of the No. 1 doubles team, Peter Frank, will be be back as seniors in 2015. Weinberger recently was Livingood’s doubles partner in a local tennis tournament. She said he has stayed committed while school was out.

The then-sophomores led Jackson to an easy 33-point victory over Cody in 2014, and Brazil said he sees an even better group of runners heading into the 2015 season. “They’re gonna be better for sure,” he said. Gibson, the 2013 individual state champion, dealt with a complex form of shin splints in 2014 and finished fourth at the state meet.

Brazil said Abby Brazil has also gotten faster after a sixth-place finish at last year’s state meet. He said Gocke is getting healthy after dealing with hamstring issues. And after O’Connor improved her state time by almost 4 minutes from her freshman to sophomore year, he sees no reason why she can’t continue to drop her time as well. It seems like it’s a state championship or bust season for the Lady Broncs. But Brazil said the dedicated group takes it one step at a time. “I don’t think that really even enters into their head until that week,” Brazil said on the thought of repeating as Wyoming champs. “But would they be bummed if they lost? Yeah. They definitely see it that way.” The quest begins Aug. 28 in Afton when the Bronc teams compete at the Star Valley Mud Run.

prominent mountain peak before climbing the peak and reversing course. Gonzales has created and completed local Picnics that have taken him to the summits of mountains like Albright, Static, Buck and Moran. The Moran Picnic or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moranicâ&#x20AC;? is the least contrived of the triathlons and has joined the Grand Teton triathlon as the most popular alpine triathlons to attempt. And Gonzales doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know many of the athletes who are putting his idea to the test this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people have been doing it that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never heard of,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somebody mentions a name and I go and look them up on Instagram and lo and behold they did the Moranic unsupported.â&#x20AC;? The idea is now to the point that certain brave people take it to another level without the help of others, or even ropes for that matter. A supported journey can consist of dropping equipment off at certain points along the route or using ropes and harnesses on a climb or downclimb. An unsupported journey means that the people are pedaling their equipment to the water, swimming with their equipment across the water and using nothing but their hands and feet to get up and down the mountain. A trip for most mountaineers to the summit of Mount Moran usually includes a canoe ride across Leigh Lake. But other Teton summits require no such water crossing. The idea that one must cross water to complete a picnic is contrived but, for Gonzales, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes it fun.

He joined with friends Chelse Grohman and Guerin Platte to prepare before giving the feat a shot last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard about it through work and people that I know and see come through the store,â&#x20AC;? the Teton Mountaineering employee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted to try something ridiculously hard for my first summer here.â&#x20AC;?

The AJ Memorial Trail Fund has raised roughly $30,000 to help the cause. That money, plus the cash and labor contributed by trails groups in the region and the power of hundreds of volunteers, is helping to create an incredible network of trails for all of us. But it would help if the Forest Service and BLM could keep up. It would help if their budgets reflected the priorities of the communities they serve. Trails help people experience nature, which in turn helps people

After nearly 30 hours of physical activity, which included a dizzy bike ride home and even a brief nap while escaping rainfall on the descent, the three friends completed their first Picnic. Grohman said the epic just made her want more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was life-changing for me,â&#x20AC;? Grohman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just never thought I was capable of doing something like that and it just really inspired me to want to do more.â&#x20AC;? The picnic-ers said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to the adventure than simply grinding out miles and enduring pain. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an elegance to it that those who have yet to attempt such a journey might not understand. Grohman said that on her initial swim across the lake in the dark of night she flipped over and swam backstroke to take in the meteor shower that was putting on a show above her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an amazing experience to watch the shooting stars above you at Jenny Lake at midnight,â&#x20AC;? she said. Picnic season is almost over but the stoke remains as more and more people hear about the feat. Some will gaze at othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exploits while others will put the idea into their own heads and wonder if they too can accomplish such a task. And as the popularity grows, so does the idea that this is more possible than many might have once imagined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems like such a huge undertaking but I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more within the grasp of the athletes that live in Jackson than they might realize,â&#x20AC;?

This is something we desperately need as population pressure and climate change add stresses to the health and well being of the natural areas around us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also something that enhances our quality of life and health. So let our federal land managers know trails are important to us. In Teton Valley the Caribou-Targhee National Forest is sitting on a plan to develop a system of beginner and intermediate trails near Mike

Harris Campground just west of Teton Pass. The trails need to go through an environmental assessment process to become a reality, but things seem to be dragging. Maybe a little public pressure on the forest will help it get things moving. If you care about trails, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth putting in a call or an email.

Business MARKET WATCH By Jonathan Schechter

Teton County - Total Taxable Sales

TOTAL TAXABLE SALES REPORTED TO Wyoming’s Department of Revenue and Taxation in July totaled $129.2 million, a 3 percent increase compared with the total reported in July 2014. A one- to two-month lag separates actual sales and when taxes are reported by the state, so July’s number generally reflects sales in give-or-take May-June (i.e., the start of summer’s tourism season). Monthly sales figures vary wildly, so any one month’s number needs to be taken with a grain of salt. For example, over the past 12 months the monthly swings have ranged between a 11 percent decrease and a 44 percent increase. Far more valuable is looking at 12-month running totals. During the fiscal year ending in July, all taxable sales totaled $1.219 billion, the highest figure ever and a 10.5 percent increase over the previous 12 months.

Not magic; just home technology Xssentials offers solutions for home security, entertainment. By Jennifer Dorsey

LOOKING AT LONGER-TERM TAXABLE sales trends, the graph above shows the last six years of total taxable sales in Teton County. Taxable sales grew steadily through the fall of 2008, then started their precipitous decline. They reached their nadir in August 2010 and stayed relatively flat until the summer of 2011. After growing for around a year sales once again flattened, then began growing again last spring. Big picture, in the 18 months between the fall of 2008 and the spring of 2010, we gave up what took us the previous 36 months to gain. Today we’re at an all-time high, well above where we were at the pre-recession peak. Source: State of Wyoming Teton County - Total Retail Sales

RETAIL SALES ARE THE BIGGEST CATEGORY of Teton County’s taxable sales. Retail sales reported in July totaled $44.1 million, a 2 percent decrease versus the amount reported in July 2014. Retail sales reported during the fiscal year ending in July totaled $422 million, a 7.3 percent increase over the previous 12 months. In a sign of how Jackson Hole’s economy has been shifting over the past few years, on a percentage basis the fastestgrowing sector of the local retail economy has been construction, which has increased over 50 percent since its November 2011 nadir.

A magician can pull a rabbit from a hat. Ken Davis can make a TV appear from nowhere. He taps on an iPhone, and a television silently rises from the top of a credenza. A bathroom mirror becomes a TV screen. Lights dim, window shades rise and fall, and music wafts from hidden speakers. Davis makes the magic happen in the new Xssentials showroom so customers can see that it really isn’t magic. Xssentials integrates technology into their homes so they can control their music, video, lights, temperature, secu-

rity and communications. In the showroom concepts become reality. “We want the end user to be able to come and say, ‘I can see this in my home,’” Davis said. The 33-year-old Colorado company came to the Tetons about two years ago, and Davis has been with the Jackson Hole office since September. The showroom hosted its grand opening July 23. Located at 160 W. Deloney Ave., the space has the look and feel of a contemporary residence, with a bathroom, a living room and a dining room. It serves as an art gallery, too. Works by Diehl Gallery artists Kate Hunt, Monica Petty Aiello, David Pirrie and Casey Vogt are hanging there now. The calm, uncluttered atmosphere is the opposite of what you get in big box stores, and that’s the point. Xssentials works with architects, builders, interior

designers and Realtors as well as with homeowners. It’s important that they understand that Xssentials is not an audio-visual company, Davis said, but a full-service technology operation. “We’re selling the solution, not the product,” he said. And each solution is tailored to each homeowner’s needs. “The first interview is about lifestyle,” Davis said. “We don’t do any packaged systems.” Take the example of a young family. When the mother comes into the house with arms full of groceries and young kids in tow she might find it difficult to use tiny buttons on a keypad to turn on the lights. So Xssentials might recommend a big button that she could hit with her elbow to work the lights. Problem solved. See XSSenTialS on 10C

BUSINESS BRIEFS Award goes to Law

County employment rises

The Wyoming Business Report honored Jackson hotelier and former state Rep. Clarene Law with its Lifetime Achievement Award during the Women of Influence awards program Friday. More than 200 people attended a breakfast in Cheyenne in honor of Law and 10 other women. Law â&#x20AC;&#x153;has helped raise the profile of Jackson Holeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism industry in her dual career in hospitality and politics,â&#x20AC;? Wyoming Business Report said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the latter position Law helped found the Wyoming Business Council and served in the state House of Representatives for 14 years.â&#x20AC;? Law, who owns the Antler Inn with her husband, Creed Law, is still working in the hospitality industry and managing a busy summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in business in Jackson Hole since 1962 with my family,â&#x20AC;? she told the Jackson Hole Daily on Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suppose Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;May I help you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; at a desk until Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 92.â&#x20AC;?

Employment in Teton County in the fourth quarter of 2014 rose nearly 3 percent from a year earlier, according to a report on unemployment-insurance-covered payroll. The state Department of Workforce Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Research and Planning section said Teton Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average monthly employment in the fourth quarter was 17,584. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 2.9 percent jump from 17,091 in the fourth quarter of 2013. Teton Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total fourth-quarter wages of $225.5 million represented an 18.2 percent jump from $190.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Average weekly wages hit $986, $128 more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or a 14.9 percent increase â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from $859 in the fourth quarter of 2013.

you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to the root cause. In that spirit, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been asking myself why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve felt so dispirited. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hit upon two answers, both evoking the Emperorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Clothes. First there are a few core realities we all know about that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ignoring. The key ones include: s 4HE COMMUNITY FEELS CROWDED now, yet we envision increasing our housing stock 50 to 100 percent. s %VEN IF NONE OF THOSE NEW RESIdents drive cars, traffic will still be as bad as this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. s "ECAUSE OF LAND CONSTRAINTS WE canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really add any new roads or alter our existing road network (assuming we want to try growing our way out of our traffic problems, which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work). s $URING SUMMER BOTH 'RAND Teton and Yellowstone are near their carrying capacities, yet we keep promoting summer tourism. (The state tourism office is being especially aggressive.) s 4HE FUNDAMENTAL BUSINESS MODEL of tourism (i.e., hiring large numbers of low-wage employees) is at odds with our housing realities (i.e., we have no housing for low-wage employees). $ESPITE THIS WE continue to add tourism infrastructure and aggressively promote tourism in the nonsummer months. s 4O ADDRESS OUR WORKFORCE HOUSing needs we require hundreds, if not thousands of new lower-end homes, yet much of housing actually getting built is in extant high-end subdivisions. Two things tie together these and the other core realities. One is that they all seem to be erupting this summer. The other is that, in many cases, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much we can do about them. Property owners have rights; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to get people out of their cars; our road network is pretty well set; ditto the economics of the tourism economy; businesses feel they need to promote themselves, etc. Add all this together, and it can leave one feeling quite dispirited.

problem is one alluded to in the last bulleted point: Even if we can figure out how to address these fundamental issues, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear whether we have the political will to act. I say this not to knock our elected officials, for the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gridlock is of our own making. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to beat on elected officials, but the reality is they are the whipping boys and girls of a community that has no shared vision of what it wants to be when it grows up. Jackson Hole is going through its awkward adolescent phase, changing from an isolated little tourism town to a place of disproportionate wealth, power and renown. That has all sorts of consequences for us, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fair question to ask whether the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s systems â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not just our physical infrastructure, but our financial and decision-making structures, as well as our collective frame of mind â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are up to dealing with our rapid pace of change.

Top Christie’s agents coming

A big crowd of the most successful real estate agents in the world will be in Jackson Hole this winter to talk business, have fun and look at the area. The Christie’s International Real Estate Global Networking Event will be at Teton Village from Jan. 21 to 24. “Our goal was 150 to 200 of the top brokers in the world,” said Julie Faupel, an owner and associate broker at Jackson Hole Real Estate Associate, the local Christie’s affiliate. “But we have had an amazing response from the affiliates and we could easily garner more — it looks like much more.” Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates was named last year’s “global affiliate of the year,” which played a part in the selection of Jackson Hole for the conference. “Jackson is an easy place for lots of affiliates to get to, and we’ve won so many awards that we’re top of mind,” Faupel said. The Christie’s network has more than 32,000 real estate people in 1,350 offices in 46 countries. The brokers who visit this winter will

have time to “share ideas and best practices, network and enjoy some of the greatest skiing in the world,” Christie’s International Real Estate spokesman Michael Sherman said. Faupel said the visiting Realtors will be exposed to the attractions of Jackson Hole and get a look at the market here. That’s likely to spur interest in real estate in the area, she said. “There are so many selling points for Jackson, and this is a way for our colleagues to become knowledgeable about that,” Faupel said. “And the Christie’s affiliation is so strong because we’re incentivized to send people to our colleagues in other markets. The more awareness we can have, the more business they can send out way.” The Christie’s network did more than $113 billion in business last year.

Natural Retreats finds Jackson

Another national hotel management firm has found a toehold in the Tetons. Natural Retreats has formed a partnership with Hans and Nancy Johnstone’s Alpine House and Turpin Meadow Ranch. “They haven’t purchased them,” Nancy Johnstone said. “They are the management company for the Alpine House, and for Turpin Meadows they are doing marketing and PR. “They seem like a good company,” she said, “and they are psyched to be in Jackson Hole.” Johnstone said she and Hans were not looking for a business partner and were

skeptical such an arrangement could preserve the atmosphere of their in-town Alpine House. “We never thought we could afford a management company,” she said. “We never really liked the sound of it. It sounds like some corporation runs your place.” But Natural Retreats approached the Johnstones when the company, founded in England, came across Turpin Meadow Ranch in Buffalo Valley. The couple opened the Alpine House in 1994 as a seven-bedroom bed and breakfast. In 2001 they expanded to 22 rooms, and in 2009 they added five cabins on Flat Creek. They purchased Turpin Meadow Ranch in 2012 and spent the first few years renovating the 1932 spread. Natural Retreats bills itself as a “luxury travel and experience company with unique destinations across the U.S.,” including the South Fork Lodge on the Snake River and Teton Springs Lodge and Residences outside Victor, Idaho. It’s the second national group to enter into the Jackson Hole lodging sector in recent months. In June, Hotel Terra and Teton Mountain Lodge were bought by Seattle consortium Noble House Hotels and Resorts.

People’s Market hosts movies under stars Who: Jackson Hole People’s Market What: 7th annual Bike-in Movie Series When: Dusk today and Aug. 26, Sept. 2 Where: Base of Snow King Mountain How much: Free Web: Facebook.com/jhpeoplesmarket By Julie Butler It’s wheels to the reels time again. Jackson Hole People’s Market will open its seventh annual Bike-In Movie Series around 8:30 p.m. today at Snow King. The three-week outdoor event runs every Wednesday evening through Sept. 2. A classic, family-friendly comedy will be shown free of charge around dusk at the base of the Town Hill after the market wraps up its 4 to 7 p.m. sales hours. “Wayne’s World,” starring Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey, kicks off the “party time excellent” series today. The People’s Market and the bike-in program are part of Slow Food in the Tetons. “The Bike-In Movie Series is a great way to conclude the market season and bring members of the community together in a fun atmosphere,” market co-director Chris Hogberg said.

JONATHAN CROSBY / NEWS&GUIDE FILE

People gather at the base of Snow King to watch “Caddyshack” on a blow-up screen in 2013. This year’s Bike-In Movie series at the Jackson Hole People’s Market starts tonight.

“Come to the market, get your veggies, your dinner and hang with friends while watching a movie,” he said. The “bike-in” movie concept is akin to a drive-in movie scenario but without the motors. Simply pull your two wheels up to the base of the mountain, settle in on a blanket or small chair and watch the show on a giant, inflatable movie screen. “The screen is not as big as, say, the Spud’s is over in Driggs, but it’s still very large,” Hogberg said. “We get it on a very generous loan from Lost

Creek Ranch.” The Chris Farley-Matthew Perry flick “Almost Heroes” screens on Aug. 26 and “What About Bob?” starring Bill Murray will conclude the series on Sept. 2. Celluloid comedies that have been shown in years past include “Dazed and Confused,” “Tommy Boy,” “Top Gun,” “Caddyshack,” “Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure” and “The Sandlot.” Hogberg said the movies are chosen each year by general consensus between residents and People’s Market organiz-

ers and staff. “We always take suggestions from people via our Facebook page and do shout-outs that way and also through email to get names of movies people would like to see,” he said. “We add suggestions to the list and then those involved with the market put in our votes and the films with the most votes ‘win.’” Hogberg’s personal favorite film for this year is “What About Bob?” as he is a self-proclaimed Bill Murray fan — “as most people are,” he said. Organizers will be raffling off one bike each week, donated by Fitzgerald Bicycles and Hoff’s Bikesmith. Raffle tickets are for sale during the People’s Market hours and will also be peddled to moviegoers before the start of the films. Gift certificates from Mountain Khakis will also be raffled. The cost of raffle tickets was not determined by press time. Attendance at the series grows each year, Hogberg said, and the event is now drawing between 300 and 500 people a week. “The growth is significant,” he said. “It is a great free event to offer to the community. A family of four can get together to watch a movie without

breaking the bank. “There is a fun mix of friends, families and visitors alike each week,” Hogberg said. “We have people there who have just been to the market and then families start showing up. Everybody gets cozy, curls up and watches a movie.” While the green way to get to the screen is encouraged (biking or walking), motorists can still find ample parking in the Snow King lot, which Hogberg said should be cleared out by 8 p.m. after market vendors have packed up. Films will start around 8:30 or 8:45 p.m., as soon as it’s dark enough. Attendees are encouraged to bring something to sit on and a warm blanket or jacket. A headlamp to find their way out of the area after the show is also useful. In the case of inclement weather the People’s Market will announce any cancellation through its Facebook page (Facebook.com/ jhpeoplesmarket). Should a cancellation occur, the film scheduled for that evening will be shown Sept. 9. Contact Julie Butler via features@jhnewsandguide. com.

Classic ski film helped to launch indie revolution What: ‘Downhill Racer’ for Movie Night at the Library When: 6 p.m. Thursday Where: Teton County Library’s Ordway Auditorium How much: Free By Jason Suder When skis were barely wider than boots and the most extreme athletes were pushing speed barriers instead of vertical limits, Robert Redford was the best out there. Or at least his character in “Downhill Racer” was. On Thursday, Movie Night at the Library will screen Robert Redford racing through the Olympics in this 1969 independent classic. Director Michael Ritchie’s film debut explores the American Dream through the eyes of David Chappellet (Redford), an Olympic-grade skier, who is as talented as he is arrogant. When one of the 1968 Olympians gets injured, the team coach, played by Gene Hackman, calls for Chappellet to join the ranks. As he chases a gold medal, Chap-

pellet’s conceit and aloofness nearly cost his teammates their safety and individual prospects for medals in what critic Roger Ebert called “the best movie about sports — without really being about sports at all.” A discussion will follow the film, giving viewers the opportunity to analyze a film that Valerie “Spark” Malachowski, event organizer, has long admired. Often when people go to the movie theater — “which is a wonderful thing to do so people see it on the big screen,” Malachowski said — they go in, see the film but then don’t talk about it. “Maybe they talk about it with the person they’re with and maybe not, but this gives them an opportunity to go deeper into the film.” Initially, Hollywood rejected the idea and refused to fund the film, but eventually Redford was awarded $1.6 million and launched a guerrilla film project that led to disguised cameramen sneaking into the 1968 Winter Olympic Games to film races for the movie. “They poached it,” Malachowski

Robert Redford’s role in “Downhill Racer” launched the movie star down a path to supporting independent films at his Sundance Film Festival.

Malachowski received a master’s degree in film from the American Film Institute. As she learned of the film, Malachowski found that Redford used this indie project to launch a revolution in inexpensive filmmaking that led to the inception of Sundance Film Festival “This film was really important in the independent film world and started something,” she said. “I’ve been wanting to show this film.” “Downhill Racer” will screen at 6 p.m. in the Ordway Auditorium in Teton County Library. Once a month for three years, Malachowski has shown classic films of cinematographic import at Teton County Library. In the first year, she began by showing films from prominent film movements, but then she became more selective and thematic. Starting in September, Malachowski will screen a three-movie run of Latino films, beginning with Alejandro Agresti’s “Valentin.”

said, laughing. “What I think is great about it is its historical significance.”

Third World to bring reggae to the commons Who: Third World with opener Chanman Roots Band What: Reggae at Concert on the Commons When: 5 p.m. Sunday Where: Teton Village Commons How much: Free Web: ConcertsontheCommons.com By Julie Butler

eton Village is about to be transformed into reggae central. “Yeah mons,” the thick and heavy sounds of bass guitars and slow, seductive, pulsating rhythms will fill the air early Sunday evening as veteran reggae band Third World takes the stage for the weekly Concert on the Commons. The reggae rhapsody begins at 5 p.m., when local favorite Chanman Roots Band kicks the licks of rock, reggae, jazz and more into gear. Opening for the 42-yearold Jamaican band will be an honor, said Peter “Chanman” Chandler. “The Chanman Roots Band is excited and honored to be opening for reggae legend Third World,” Chander said. “While we have never covered any of their music, they have always been on our playlist with tunes like ‘96 Degrees in the Shade,’ ‘Try Jah Love’ and ‘Now That We Found Love.’” The 10-time Grammy-nominated Third World formed in 1973 in Kingston, Jamaica. In the beginning the six-piece

Jamaican reggae band Third World will bring an island vibe to Teton Village for the Concert on the Commons at 5 p.m. Sunday. The group has released 20 albums and been nominated for 10 Grammy Awards. It just released a new single, “YimMasGan,” on iTunes and YouTube.

band played primarily in the capital city’s hotels and nightclubs. Its greatest success came in the late 1970s with the release of the 1977 hit album “96 Degrees In The Shade,” and its popularity continued into the early 1980s. The group has also worked with the Jackson Five, Bob Marley and the Wailers and

Stevie Wonder. One of the longest-running reggae groups, Third World has released more than 20 albums and undergone a number of changes to its lineup over the past 40 years. Bassist Richard Daley is one of two remaining original band members. “We have been touring year

round since 1973,” the 62-yearold Daley said, “and I’ll keep going until I can’t anymore.” Daley said his band’s sound has been influenced by many music genres over the past four decades, including soul, funk, disco, country western, classical and Broadway show tunes. “We took roots reggae music and put branches on top of

it,” he said of the reggae-fusion that has allowed Third World to stand the test of time. Third World’s most recent albums were 2011’s “Patriots” and 2014’s “Under the Magic Sun.” “Cleopatra Records said, ‘Come up with your 10 favorite songs,’” Daley said of “Under The Magic Sun.” “And so the album includes our spin on songs like ‘Put a Little Love in Your Heart’ and ‘Have You Ever Seen the Rain?’” The band is working on a new album that is being produced by Damian Marley. The first single off the record, “YimMasGan,” was released on iTunes and YouTube three weeks ago. ‘YimMasGan’ in the Ethiopian language of Amharic means ‘give thanks and praise,’” Daley told the News&Guide. Praise is just what Concert on the Commons talent booker Ethan Oxman feels the band will get on Sunday. “It is always great and important to get someone from another country playing a different style of music here,” Oxman said. “Another notable aspect is they are playing Reggae on the Rocks in Colorado the day before,” he said, “so it’s always exciting to get a band who plays the reggae festival and jumps on up here. It’s going to be a great show.” Contact Julie Butler via features@jhnewsandguide.com.

Homegrown American roots to rock Mangy Moose Who: Wyatt Lowe and the Mayhem Kings and Screen Door Porch What: An evening of American roots When: 9 p.m. Friday Where: The Mangy Moose How much: $7 By Jason Suder The Mangy Moose will host a double-billed night of homegrown American music Friday featuring Screen Door Porch and Wyatt Lowe and the Mayhem Kings. American music is deeply rooted in the plantation songs of the South. Blues and jazz have long expressed the pain slaves felt, but were given over to popular culture as the suffering came out with soul and a sense of overcoming. In the 1950s rock ’n’ roll was born from that style, using the same licks, progressions and instruments but repackaged for a modern age. Cultures that crossed race flocked to the new sounds that could only have come out of the United States. “American roots could be described as the music of the slaves,” Lowe said. “It morphed into something bigger and greater.” When the style was embraced by country artists, what came forth was rockabilly and the Bakersfield sound, an angry twang that emanated from

Jackson Hole’s rockabilly kid Wyatt Lowe and his band the Mayhem Kings will be at the Mangy Moose on Friday night for an evening of American roots. They will be followed by another homegrown group, Screen Door Porch.

the blue-collar rockers and criminals — like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard — who found refuge in the music. “You think country, unfortunately you think pop country,” Lowe said. “But when you think about it the way we think about it, it’s real American music.” Homage to the early pioneers of rockabilly, blues-rock and alternativecountry is what people will hear Friday.

The whammy bar on Lowe’s guitar shrieks through speakers with boiling force. It reverberates and wails like the beach parties of midcentury California, culminating on the dance floor as fans shake to a revamped sock hop. Screen Door Porch takes a more earthy approach to the roots of American music. Regardless of the banjo, the band is unquestionably something harder, faster and more emotional than

bluegrass. The combination of Aaron Davis and Seadar Rose on vocals results in rustic harmonies that recall the grit of Wanda Jackson. The core of the band has lived and recorded out of Austin, Texas. But “home has always been Jackson,” Davis said. Some months back the busily touring Davis gave Lowe a call, recommending they share the stage for a hometown reunion. “Normally local bands don’t bill together much in this town,” Davis said. “Basically, we’re trying to get together with some other songwriters that we think are making some good music.” Lowe quickly agreed, although the Mayhem Kings have been touring the country and making only rare appearances back in the Hole. “Aaron Davis is a great songwriter and he writes some powerful songs,” Lowe said. “It’s a special combination.” And listeners will benefit with a variety of genres appearing on the same stage, for what has been dubbed “An evening of American roots.” Wyatt Lowe and the Mayhem Kings will take the stage around 9 p.m. for an hourlong all-ages set before youths are ushered out for Screen Door Porch to play to a 21-and-older crowd. Tickets cost $7. Contact Jason Suder at 732-7062 or entertainment@jhnewsandguide.com.

More Music, Briefly Chamber choir to hit Big Apple The Cathedral Voices Chamber Choir has been invited to perform at New York City’s Carnegie Hall. Recognized for the “quality and high level of musicianship demonstrated by the singers,” said the director of the inviting agency, the local chorale will travel to the city in January to participate in a performance of “The Music of Dan Forrest.” Carnegie Hall is one of the most prestigious concert venues in the country, and the opportunity to perform in such a place is an honor by any artist’s measure.

Jewish Community sets potluck The Jackson Hole Jewish Community is celebrating this Shabbat with its annual barbecue at Owen Bircher Park in Wilson. The Friday night service will be held like any other with music by chazzan Judd Grossman and a special guest, professional fiddler Aaron Ashton, leading the lyrical prayers. Afterward the music will take on a country note while kosher hotdogs and s’mores are served around a campfire. Kids can enjoy petting ponies and taking cart rides around the park. Food, wine and other drinks, and challah bread will be provided, but attendees are asked to bring a side dish to make the community event a fullblown picnic potluck. Rain or shine, the sabbath will go on.

Music scholarship offered JacksonHoleLive is launching an annual scholarship to further the ambition of aspiring young musicians. The group that offers the free summer music series at the base of Snow King will offer one college freshman a $3,000 cash award. The funding was seeded with $500 and $500 challenges from Scott Anderson, Chip Marvin, Greg Miles and Melinda Binks, Jeff and Amy Golightly and one anonymous contributor. Any resident of Teton County, Wyoming, Teton County, Idaho, or Star Valley born on or after Jan. 1, 1995, is eligible for the scholarship. Criteria and applications for obtaining this scholarship will be made available on JacksonHoleLiveMusic. com by Sept. 18, and the applications will be due by Thanksgiving. Winners will be announced in mid-January.

Lukas Nelson to play free In memory of Luke Lynch and Stephen Adamson, JacksonHoleLive has added one more date to its free summer music series. On Sept. 4 Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real will play a benefit concert at Snow King Ball Park. Longtime valley residents Lynch and Adamson were killed in a backcountry skiing accident last spring. To thank the two agencies that helped in the May 17 rescue effort, JacksonHoleLive is collecting funds for Teton County Search and Rescue and the Jenny Lake Rangers at

the Nelson show. Still, as with every JacksonHoleLive concert, attendance is free and open to all ages.

Crystal bowls lead symphony Daniela Botur and Talia Atkins will lead a “Symphony of the Senses” at 7 p.m. Thursday at Intencions. This one-hour improvisation features a duet of voices hailed as angelic joined with the rich hum of crystal sound bowls. Aromatherapy will accompany the concerto of elemental emotion that is supposed to invoke visions of fire, water, earth and air all while nourishing the senses and the soul. A $10 donation is asked.

Fireman’s Ball sets artists The 75th annual Jackson Fireman’s Ball is celebrating three-quarters of a century with some of the most respected bluegrass artists on tour. North Mississippi Allstars, Anders Osborne and Chancey Williams and the Younger Brother Band will join Sam Bush on stage. In 2014 the Marshall Tucker Band raised the entertainmnet bar, but to bring such talent for the 2015 anniversary has set a new precedent. North Mississippi Allstars has carried its form of Southern bluesrock and “lowebow” cigarbox guitar around the country since the 1996 inception of the band. Robert Plant had the band as his opening act throughout his 2011 tour, and then Dave Matthews recruited the Allstars for the same position during his 2013 tour. Osborne is no stranger to the Tetons. He packed a crowd into JacksonHoleLive in 2014 with his rocking songs, as he has done many times at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Serious mandolin fans are not afraid to call Bush the godfather of modern bluegrass, or even its originator, but the free-wheeling genre can be somewhat isolating. Chancey Williams and the Younger Brothers Band balance this with some goodold country-rock. Williams, a true cowboy, even won a couple rounds of saddle bronc riding at Cheyenne Frontier Days Tickets to the 21-and-older event, scheduled for Nov. 14, are available now at JHFireAssociation.com. Like 2014, the price is $40 each.

But what is expected of vendors is always the same, Brooks said: They should be interesting, knowledgeable and specialized so that they “have a passion for their product.” Experienced antique collectors and novices alike are encouraged to talk to the vendors and ask them questions about their products. “They want you to know more about it,” Brooks said. “They have the real stuff. They enjoy talking about it.” This weekend’s show features a wide variety of art and antique work. One artist makes frames out of weathered wood reclaimed from snow fences.

Sawczuk shifts his view closer at Trio show Who: Bill Sawczuk What: “The Way I See It” exhibition opening and artist reception When: Reception 5-8 p.m. today; show hangs through Sept. 5 Where: Trio Fine Art Web: TrioFineArt.com By Shannon Sollitt

our years ago artist Bill Sawczuk developed a heart condition that limited how far up into the mountain wilderness he could travel. The same heart condition also gave him a “little gift of insight,” Sawczuk said, “of the little, small intimate scenes” that spread in front of him at lower elevations. Sawczuk’s newest exhibition, “The Way I See It,” opening at noon today at Trio Fine Art, is an exploration of these smaller scenes on larger canvases. The exhibition’s name pays tribute to Sawczuk’s new perspective on the world, in which bigger is not always better. Sawczuk said that in the past he “didn’t stop to appreciate the small things ... I was always looking up.” He has discovered, however, that “these beautiful things are all around.”

Sawczuk went to the Hoback River “probably 40 times” to create this image, entitled “Spring Thaw on the Hoback.” It is part of his “The Way I See It” show at Trio Fine Art.

“The Way I See It” includes 10 new large paintings. Their subject matter is as big as the Tetons or Mount Moran, and as small as a cluster of cattails in the Yellowstone wilderness. Wherever the scene, Sawc-

zuk wants the viewer to experience the landscape as he did when he was painting it. “I want you to feel like you’re standing right there, you’re participating in the landscape,” Sawczuk said. Landscape art, he said,

was “just the thing to do as a plein air painter ... You just go out and paint it as it is.” And for an art collector landscape art always fits into a collection or house. Landscape paintings are like windows into nature,

Sawczuk said, and “nature never clashes with what’s in your house.” Sawczuk entered into the world of fine art with a background in engineering and architectural design. Each transition taught him to “say more with less,” he said. Through architecture he learned to soften his lines, and in fine art he learned to blur those lines completely. Instead of working with precision and technicality, Sawczuk said he has learned more and more to work with feeling. The less detail he includes in his paintings, he said, the more viewers can insert it themselves and really engage in the landscape. When an audience can complete a painting with details that aren’t actually there — “that’s when you’re successful, I think,” Sawczuk said. “The Way I See It” is on display at Trio Fine Art from noon today through Sept. 5. A reception will be held at 5 p.m., and Sawczuk will discuss his painting process and his motivation at 6:30. Contact Shannon Sollitt at 733-2047, ext. 121, or intern@jhnewsandguide. com.

Emotions, memories found in Vecsey abstractions Who: Abstract painter Susan Vecsey What: Exhibition of new work When: Thursday through Oct. 10; artist reception 6-8 p.m. Thursday Where: Tayloe Piggott Gallery How much: Free Web: SusanVecsey.com, or go to TayloePiggottGallery.com By Jason Suder The Hamptons, on New York’s Long Island, have long been a bastion for artists escaping the city. The humid air over the Atlantic Ocean creates a pastel haze that has inspired such abstract artists as Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollack and Mark Rothko. The same setting can be found in the abstract horizons of Tayloe Piggott Gallery’s newest artist, Susan Vecsey. Her work goes up Thursday with an artist reception from 6 to 8 p.m. in the gallery during the Jackson Hole Gallery Association’s August Art Walk. Wherever Vecsey goes — whether to her New York City studio, her home in East Hampton or exploring the wild Tetons — she finds a new horizon. Her perspective bends according to where she finds herself, given the contours of mountains, plains, beaches or cityscapes. “Though I’m referencing the landscape and you’re seeing the horizon line and shapes out of the landscape,” she said, “more than that I

get into formal issues like color and form and the structure of the painting and the materials.” Gallery owner Tayloe Piggott sees in her work a moment in time — that moment when the light settles onto a landscape and into memory. That is why Vecsey’s work resonates so well with what we experi-

ence every day with the landscape around Jackson Hole, she said. Her work is meditative and expresses a sense of calm. Vecsey mixes her oil paint with turpentine to create a watercolorlike finish on her linen canvases. The result is layers as thin as the mist of a cresting wave. The fabric

of the canvas, the colors she has selected and the movement in her landscapes make the art bigger than what can be seen on a computer screen. “I think the work is definitely a lot about process and material,” Vecsey said. “You might think it’s very simple and ‘I don’t really need people to know how it’s made.’” The reality is that care is taken in sketching the landscapes as Vecsey travels and in selecting the proper color balance to create harmony. As Rothko does with his emotional color fields, Vecsey paints universal shapes to allow her flowing color schemes to elicit a response. “I’ve been told that my paintings are emotional or that the colors evoke emotion,” she said. “That’s one of the things that I’m after.” Whether it was the mist over the beaches or the snows coating Grand Teton National Park that initiated her work, the overarching theme is accessibility. “I want people to enjoy it wherever they see it,” she said. Vecsey arrived in town Tuesday and will spend a few days in the gallery. For Thursday’s opening reception Vecsey has been asked to start things off with a few words about her body of work and her techniques.

“Drifting On By” by Logan Maxwell Hagege will be in “Western Convergence,” a Trailside Galleries show spotlighting the distinct styles of five artists.

Western styles converge in new show Who: Artists Bill Anton, Logan Maxwell Hagege, Z.S. Liang, Jim C. Norton and Tim Solliday What: ‘Western Convergence’ group show When: Reception 5-7 p.m. Thursday during the Jackson Hole Gallery Association Art Walk; show hangs through Aug. 31 Where: Trailside Galleries Web: TrailsideGalleries.com By Jason Suder

railside Galleries is exhibiting the work of five award-winning artists in a new show called “A Western Convergence.” Bill Anton, Logan Maxwell Hagege, Z.S. Liang, Jim Norton and Tim Solliday are all recognized by major museums of Western art. On Thursday an open house at Trailside will bring contemporary and historical masters together with modernists for a “convergence” of different styles. Because the show runs concurrently with the final Jackson Hole Gallery Association Art Walk of the summer, Trailside Managing Partner Maryvonne Leshe wanted to bring together the top five “most popular, most highly collected of our Western artists.” “Each artist has a distinct style,” she said, “a different type of subject matter, from the Plains Indians to the cowboys to the Indians of the Southwest.” Bill Anton, of Arizona, has gained a national following for his impressionistic paintings of the modernday cowboy and depictions of night scenes. Rich colors and soft-edged brushwork create the mood associated with the stern and solitary life of the men of the West. “He really understands the cowboy life,” Leshe said. “He lives in Arizona. He visits a lot of the ranches and knows the cowboys. “Everything that he depicts is quite accurate because he’s a cowboy himself.”

Bill Anton is also part of the show. This is “Wyoming Conference Call,” an oil.

Hagege takes a more modernist approach to scenes of the West, attracting a younger demographic of collectors. The youngest artist in the exhibition, he works with hard edges and bold colors similar to Georgia O’Keeffe but without the abstraction. “He really captures the spare beauty and arid landscape in the Southwest,” Leshe said. “Wide-open plains and sagebrush of the Southwest are in his paintings but in a very modernist style.” At the heart of each artist’s work is a true connection to the subject matter. Hagege will disappear into the desert to meditate in perfect tranquility to gain a deeper respect for the land. Liang, born in China, came to the U.S. three decades ago and has immersed himself in the native cultures of America. “He has lived in a tipi,” Leshe said. “He has been adopted by certain tribes. He has made very strong friendships with a lot of the Indians that he depicts in his paintings.” Hazy pastels give a sense of timelessness to Liang’s work. That, cou-

pled with the traditional colors, patterns and clothing of his subjects, makes each piece a time capsule of a lost culture. “Art does that,” Leshe said. “It certainly captures a moment in time, and some of these paintings it’s going to be history. “This is the land that we lost. Thank God for the artists that they were able to record it.” Jim C. Norton is world-renowned for his ability to do exactly that. The long-standing member of Cowboy Artists of America — which Leshe described as the most important organization for cowboy artists — has won several awards for his depictions of the historical home of the Plains Indians. Solliday puts more of a focus on the landscape. With his impressionist visions imbued with bold colors he transmits the influences of Vincent Van Gogh and John Singer Sargent into the American West. The five styles coalesce like the pieces of an Apache sacred hoop. Like the native symbol, each artist represents a different direction, or

style, to view the region’s heritage. Each takes a different approach to maintaining tradition and an appreciation for the land. “It’s a little romanticized,” Leshe said, “but collectors don’t want to see that disappear, and these paintings are a reminder of that way of life.” As of press time Anton, Norton and Solliday had confirmed that they would be in the gallery for Thursday’s reception, which will run 5 to 7 p.m. All works shown will be sold through a fixed-price drawing at 6:30 p.m. Trailside will serve snacks catered by Rendezvous Bistro. There will also be a full bar. All works will be on display through Aug. 31. Contact Jason Suder at 732-7062 or entertainment@jhnewsandguide.com.

Jeff Pugh’s “Homestead,” a 36-by-60-inch oil in his simplified, graphic style, will be in his new show at Mountain Trails Gallery.

Pugh removes detail to create graphic images Who: Jeff Pugh What: Art exhibition When: Reception 4-8 p.m. Thursday; show hangs through Aug. 27 Where: Mountain Trails Gallery Web: MtnTrails.net By Kelsey Dayton At first glance, a painting by Jeff Pugh seems minimalistic. His Western agrarian landscapes are broken down into geometric shapes. But if you look closer, you see the complexity of his compositions, said Taryn Boals, creative director at Mountain Trails Gallery. Pugh has a way of flattening his images to achieve a contemporary and also simple look, but his brushwork and the color palette he uses belie the skill and effort he engages to achieve his signature look, Boals said. Pugh’s work hangs at Mountain Trails Gallery through Aug. 27. There

is a reception from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday. Pugh will be in the gallery to meet collectors and answer questions. The show features 21 new works by Pugh, as well as the paintings already hanging in the gallery. “He’s pretty prolific,” Boals said. Mountain Trails started working with Pugh, a young artist in his 30s, only a few years ago. “He’s just taking off,” Boals said. “He has a really refreshing kind of aesthetic. It’s a new take. It’s saying the same thing about the West, but at the same time he’s saying it in a different way, in a different aesthetic.” Pugh is primarily a landscape painter. He focuses on the West and on agriculture scenes, using subtle tones and simple shapes to give an almost retro feel to his work. His color choices make his paintings look like graphic art. He works wet-on-wet, meaning before the first coat of oil paint is totally dry he goes in with the second, which

creates a unique texture and requires deft brushwork. It also creates an interesting sense of layering, Boals said. Pugh’s work is inspired by his home state of Utah and by Montana. He breaks each scene down, making it simpler and then simpler, until all that is left are the geometric shapes that form each individual image, like a rectangle for the body of a cow, Boals said. Art always played an important role in Pugh’s life. Growing up he’d visit his grandmother and paint watercolors while she painted. Even as a child he started to learn the importance of really looking and seeing the world, he said in a press release. “This has just continued through my life and has helped me learn and grow,” he said. “It has filtered the way that I view my surroundings. I no longer ignore the beauty of the landscape. It isn’t just dirt and trees and sky, but a compound of colors and values and shapes.”

After graduating from the University of Utah in 2004 with a degree in painting and drawing, he studied with John Erickson and Gary E. Smith, which helped diversify his work. Pugh’s painting has evolved from realistic representation to abstraction of designs found in nature. He thinks about filters or levels of separation from his paintings. For instance, painting en plein air is one degree of separation, while photographing a site and manipulating the image on a computer before printing it would be at least three degrees of separation. How far he moves from the source material influences how abstract the work becomes. “I have found,” he said in the release, “that by carefully choosing the filters I use, I am able to enhance those designs and push those abstractions even further.” Contact Kelsey Dayton via features@ jhnewsandguide.com.

Armstrong’s photos join duo’s paintings at Rare Who: Rick Armstrong, Tomas Lasansky and Charlie Emmert Lasansky What: Art show When: 6-8 p.m. Thursday Where: Rare Gallery How much: Free Web: RareGalleryJacksonHole.com By Kate Hull Rare Gallery is closing out the summer season of artist showcases with a night not to be missed, featuring three artists whose work gives nods to classic styles and subjects with modern twists.

honor to showcase Rick at such an important time in the season and in his work.” Rick Armstrong, whose technique evolves and changes with each series, is showcasing a new style of photography that layers images on top of one another, some with a double exposure, to bring out an almost surreal, antique feeling. “I am trying to take people into a more dreamlike

state with photography in a pure way,” he said of his work, which is done without any Photoshop manipulation. “I am doing things to push the process and make it reverberate a feeling and emotion versus just looking at a pretty picture.” With images ranging from landscapes and wildlife to figurative, Armstrong’s works have a sepia tone with subtle backgrounds to evoke an older or historic mood. “By doing these new styles, I am pushing the photograph to where it almost breaks it up,” he said, “taking it as far as I can take it where you still catch the imagery. But it still leaves a lot to your imagination.” One piece Armstrong is particularly excited to display, “Cloud Walker,” is a 60-by-80-inch photo on canvas that depicts a large buffalo set within a grouping of clouds. He combined the two photos to showcase the buffalo’s “powerful energy,” he said. “Rick’s latest work speaks to the raw emotion in nature,” Hollee Armstrong said. “They allow for almost a primal response to what the viewer sees and how they engage in these subjects.” Alongside the photography, Rare Gallery is bringing two artists whose expressive portraits are both boldly colorful and captivating.

Sanders focuses on the familiar in the West Who: Jared Sanders What: ‘Chosen Road,’ a solo art exhibition When: Reception 5-8 p.m. Thursday with an artist talk starting at 6 p.m.; show hangs through Aug. 22 Where: Altamira Fine Art Web: AltamiraArt.com By Kelsey Dayton You might miss the stack of hay bales along the side of the road. You might not give the herd of cows in a pasture a second glance. Not Jared Sanders. “I choose subjects other people might overlook, and when I put it into the square of a canvas it becomes something else,” he says in a press release. “It takes on a life of its own.” Sanders exhibits new work through Aug. 22 in a solo exhibition called “Chosen Road,” at Altamira Gallery. He will show 13 new paintings and about six other works. There is a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday with an artist talk starting at 6 p.m.

“Daybreak” shows Utah artist Jared Sanders’ love of the familiar scenes of life in the West.

During his talk, “The Architecture of Painting,” Sanders will discuss his process as a painter and the concept behind his compositions. Sanders paints in oil on canvas with a stiff, artist’s board backing. He uses broad brushstrokes for the

background and refined strokes for the mid- and foreground, said Dean Munn, the gallery’s exhibition director. A tonalist painter, Sanders uses a limited amount of color to draw the eye to the important elements of the landscape or a structure in the piece. For his exhibition “Chosen Road,” Sanders paints landscapes reflecting a peaceful sense of solitude using simple and familiar images, Munn said. His signature barns are defined by color and architectural lines and evoke a sense of the roadways of Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Montana. “Jared Sanders has a unique ability to view the Western landscape as a painting, not just a casual observance,” Munn said. “He sees the basic shapes, the base colors, the variety of textures, the atmosphere and the romantic elements all as a composition, well before he makes a sketch or moves to canvas.” Sanders has explored various styles throughout his career, and each ends up with a signature making it uniquely Sanders, Munn said. His current works have a simple sophistication of mood. “They are alive with interest while being simple of subject,” Munn said. Sanders was born in Utah, where he still lives, and studied art at Utah State University. It wasn’t long after graduation that he started attracting attention of galleries and collectors. His work has won accolades, including a 2003 award for “best oil on acrylic at Maynard Dixon Country” and the 2004 purchase award at Deseret New Landscape Art Show. He was

featured in 2000 in Southwest Art’s list of 21 notable artists under the age of 31 and his large painting of a barn, called “Landmark,” was purchased by the Buffalo Bill Center of the West’s Whitney Gallery for its permanent collection. Sanders is known for capturing landscapes that include the farmlands, hills, rivers and forests he knows and loves. The Western landscape offers plenty of abstract elements for Sanders to play with in his composition. He paints the horizon line low so that the feel becomes calm and restful, yet the composition retains a certain tension. His moody landscapes have given way in recent years to the barns that are so much a part of the countryside. “To me, barns are simply a great visual gift that someone built and left on the landscape for me to use in my work,” Sanders said. Sanders considers himself a regionalist and travels the West for inspiration. He revers the everyday contemporary West and captures it against a backdrop of luminous skies. “Jared Sanders creates landscape paintings in a manner of modified realism, exploring geometry, mood and eye appeal,” Munn said. “He has a vast talent for finding the important elements of a landscape, exploring and then defining them with simplified elegance. Jared’s art is instantly recognizable as contemporary yet comfortable, exciting yet peaceful.” Contact Kelsey Dayton via features@ jhnewsandguide.com.

imprints of mountain symbols — like feathers, deer and pine cones — pop from the layers. Deeper symbolism is entrenched in prominent quotes, such as Gandhi’s “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” “This was an exercise in just going for it and kind of accepting the imperfections along the way, which is very symbolic of something I’m personally always working toward,” Dyer said. More so, Dyer is a woman of Jackson, and feeds off the casual nature of the town.

A self-proclaimed “hat fanatic” Dyer constantly finds her eyes drifting upward when she talks to people, inspecting their headwear during conversations.

Cayuse is now showing the work of Jackson artisan Dawn Bryfogle and will host a reception with margaritas from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday. Recognized by the juxtaposition of bright colors and antique pieces of jewelry, Bryfogle’s work is a crossroad of the antique and modern. She finds vintage Native American and mountain-inspired pieces and sets them into necklaces and earrings, wired into use around high quality and brightly colored gemstones. Raw diamonds are frequently inlaid into 14-karat gold bands holding concho shells or antique crosses. These pieces are not just to be admired by the wealthy. Her earrings frequently sell for under $100, though the diamond necklaces can cost up to $1,000.

The Jackson Hole Gallery Association will hold its final art walk of the summer from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday. Patrons of the arts can tour the numerous galleries around Jackson while finding creators explaining their pieces, enjoying snacks from local restaurants and piquing palates with wine and cocktails. For the second time this year the gallery association has partnered with a local business to offer drink specials to art enthusiasts. Those who participate in Thursday’s art walk will receive special coupons for $3 beer, wine and well drinks at the Silver Dollar Bar in the Wort Hotel.

Physico/Electro closes with new art “Physico/Electro: An Exhibition of DIY and Maker Art” will have a closing reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Art Association Gallery at the Center for the Arts. The exhibit shows artists’ manipulations of do-ityourself, or DIY, technologies and devices. It features Adrienne Adar, Mike Fleming, Daniel Kent, Andrew Neumann, David “Barbecue Dave” Sheinkopf and Roopa Vasudevan. The reception will also premiere art made by the association’s students. Kids and adults responded to the theme “Physico/Electro.” “The artwork they produced is really awesome and should be highlighted,” Art Association Gallery Director Thomas Macker said. “Most of the work uses two-dimensional design, three-dimensional printing and physical computing to animate their sculptures. Think robotic art.”

Museum shows close Sunday

Sunday is the last chance to catch two exhibitions at the National Museum of Wildlife Art before they close. “In Dubious Battle” and “Oldest Living Things in the World” are coming down. Shelley Reed’s 47-foot mural “In Dubious Battle” recalls old masters, who replaced humans with animals as parables for the fallacies and strengths inherent to humanity. Throughout the grand work, animals battle, flirt and communicate with each other in a more primal way than mankind is able to replicate. See more arts on 15

With the absence of color, Reed gave a contemporary spin to classic form. Rachel Sussman’s photographs of the oldest living organisms were recently celebrated with a Mix’d Media event. But since its initial hanging the body of work has touched on Jackson’s conservation efforts. Each photograph shows life forms that are at least 2,000 years old, giving insight into what the world will lose should conservation be neglected.

Band returns to Native JH

Local jeweler Annie Band returns to Native JH on Friday and Saturday to show her work in a trunk show. Band works with recycled metals to form silver, gold and bronze pieces inlaid with precious jewels that are also recycled or lab grown to avoid all mining in her process. Each piece has been hand-inscribed with poetry or inscriptions, creating what Band considers talismans more than just jewelry. The artist, who holds a master’s degree in science, is inspired by the natu-

Riot Act hosts auditions

Auditions for “Red Herring” will be held from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Aug. 26 and 27. Michael Hollinger’s murder mystery with espionage and an interlaced love story is styled as a 1950s noir comedy. The heroine, Maggie, is a Boston detective charged with solving a harbor murder, and if she can’t she will miss her Havana honeymoon. Casting for the 18 roles will be completed in early September, and rehearsals for the late October, early November shows will begin shortly thereafter. Some actors will be double or triple cast. Bring a head shot, resume and prepared monologue to the audition. If you do not have reading material, Riot Act will supply cold reading sheets.

Event helps translators In combat, interpreters are the ones who help soldiers navigate dangerous foreign terrain and connect with the communities they are working to defend. No One Left Behind is a nonprofit organization that helps interpreters and translators build lives in the U.S. On Aug. 26, the group will host a fundraiser at the Grandview Room at Teton Pines. In April 2008 Cpt. Matt Zeller found himself in an Afghan firefight surrounded by Taliban insurgents. Running low on ammunition and regaining consciousness after a mortar round sent him flying into a ditch, the Army commander knew he was dead. Suddenly he heard the sound of an AK-47 going off next to his head. Turning, Zeller saw his translator fend off the enemy and save his life, an act that placed him on top of the Taliban’s kill list. Zeller spent the next five years helping his translator secure visas in the U.S. and realized many other foreign defenders of America are in similar situations. No One Left Behind is working today to resettle 120 Afghan and Iraqi translators with their families in the United States every year and help provide them with housing, furnishings, transportation and education. The cost of supporting one five-member family has been estimated at just $10,000. The suggested contribution to attend the Aug. 26 event is $100. Tickets can be secured by contacting Cyrus Western at 307-752-5590 or CyrusWestern@gmail.com.

The nonprofit organization takes edible food that would otherwise be discarded and redistributes it to food organizations in the community. “We’re trying to send the message that food waste is a big issue worldwide,” founder and Executive

Director Ali Dunford said. The event starts at 6 p.m. with live music and a cocktail hour featuring hors d’oeuvres made from rescued food, distillery samples and smoothies made in a bike-powered blender. A series of film screenings start at 7 p.m., beginning with a John Oliver segment on food waste and screening of Hole Food Rescue’s 1 Percent for the Tetons video. Raffle prizes including a five-day Jackson Hole Mountain Resort pass, dinner for two at the Couloir and Snake River Grill, and yoga and fitness packages will be awarded following the two short screenings. The night concludes with a screening of “Just Eat It,” an award-winning documentary about food waste and food rescue. The documentary screening begins at 8 p.m. Hole Food Rescue asks for a $10 donation to the event.

Earlier this year Keillor announced that he would retire from the acclaimed live radio show “Prairie Home Companion” that has drawn crowds to tune into National Public Radio for 45 years. Keillor captivates audiences with his dry sense of humor, acerbic wit and a blend of music, class, comedy and insight. During his talk, which will not take place until Feb. 28, Keillor will divulge hilarious anecdotes from his storied lifetime in the American Midwest, the people of Lake Wobegon and fathering children later in life. Tickets for “An Evening with Garrison Keillor” cost $95. Quantities are limited to four tickets per transaction. They will be available at JHCenterfortheArts.org or at the center box office.

orth Cache Street is the gateway that links downtown Jackson to Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks. The corridor does not, however, embody the vibrant character of the places it leads to. North Cache, by the Jackson Hole and Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center, will temporarily change Thursday when it turns into a “Place of Possibility” from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. . “Place of Possibility,” said Carrie Geraci, director of Jackson Hole Public Art, “also known as POP, is designed to transform sites with temporary installations and cultural activities to get the community to look at, think about and use them in different ways for a short period of time,” The promise to add pizzazz to the street came from the voter-approved 2014 specific purpose excise tax ballot initiative for the town to fund streetscape improvements along the North Cache corridor. Geraci said when it comes to new public art initiatives, community input is important. Place of Possibility projects are designed to ask for the community’s thoughts. Set up on the lawn of the visitor center will be several public art prototypes. Attendees will be given three coins to drop into buckets near the models to cast votes for their favorite designs.

Lilja Chen, 8, and sister Xinyi Chen, 4, swing and sway in a hammock at the Jackson Hole Public Art event Place of Possibility in 2014. The temporary artistic takeover returns Thursday and invites participants to weigh in on ways they’d like to see North Cache Street enhanced by public art.

“There will be some prototypes that represent Jackson Hole Complete Streets Furniture,” Geraci said. “Ben Roth will have a sculptural idea, and there will be playful interactive ideas.” A sketch artist will also be on site to draw concepts that attendees think of. “The town of Jackson’s planning department will be there in the afternoon,” Geraci said. “They will have the Community Streets Plan information in the Mobile Design Studio. The public can ask questions and learn about the vision behind that plan.” While community input is an important aspect of the event, fun is

also a significant component. Other businesses on North Cache have agreed to take part in the Place of Possibility celebration. POP will start with an exercise workshop in the morning, and there will be a tour at the Rustic Inn at 1 p.m. On the entertainment front, plein air painters will highlight their favorite components of North Cache, and dancers from Dancers’ Workshop will stage surprise performances throughout the day. From 3 to 7 p.m., Wyatt Lowe and the Mayhem Kings will perform. A DJ will take the stage after the band. A picnic is the best way to comple-

For $20 people will be able to eat Q Roadhouse pulled-pork sandwiches, Creekside Market salads and Roots Cannery and Kitchen quiche. Picnic tickets can be purchased online by clicking on the link at JHPublicARt. org/opportunities or at Creekside Market the day of POP. After the event, people, whether they were there or not, will be able to fill out an online survey to express what kind of public art should be installed at North Cache. The North Cache POP is planned as a walk-in or bike-in event, but parking is available at the Home Ranch parking lot. Contact Frances Moody at 732-7079 or schools@jhnewsandguide.com.

Lockhart Ranch to host shindig Saturday

By Shannon Sollitt Biting into a Big Mac at McDonalds may satisfy the occasional meat and grease craving, but the consumer rarely, if ever, pauses to think about the cow that meat came from. Fast food allows for immediate satisfaction. Slow food, on the other hand, is “all about the process of growing and processing [food] and the length of time it takes to do that,” said Ian McGregor, the vice president of Teton Slow Food’s volunteer board. Teton Slow Food and Teton Artlab want to share that appreciation with Jackson community members by inviting them to dine at the site of one of the biggest local meat producers in town: Lockhart Ranch. The second annual Lockhart Ranch Roundup begins at 6 p.m. Saturday with a farm-to-table dinner featuring Lockhart beef from its free-roaming, grass-fed cattle and side dishes made from local produce.

COURTESY PHOTO

Lockhart Ranch breeds and raises completely grass-fed Hereford steers. Their beef will be the main course at the Lockhart Ranch Roundup on Saturday night.

This year Teton Artlab and Teton Slow Food teamed up with Lockhart Ranch to create a full evening of food, music and fun. The dinner will be followed by a party complete with Snake River Brewing beer and live music from two local bands. “We just want a bunch of people together for a good time,” Travis Walker of Teton Artlab said. “It’s a good opportunity to give back to something that gives so much to us.” The Lockhart Ranch has

been around for almost 100 years. Sitting just south of Smith’s Food and Drug on South Highway 89, it is one of the biggest unprotected properties in Jackson. Still, Walker said that a lot of people in Jackson see the ranch every day and don’t know what it is. And building a relationship with local ranchers and food producers is a huge benefit to the community, McGregor said. “They’re doing a really great thing for the community,” Walker said. “They’re

sharing what they’ve had for 100 years with the whole valley.” Lockhart Ranch runs a calf-cow operation, which means they breed and raise their cattle on site. All of their livestock is grass-fed and cared for “through the toughest time of the year,” McGregor said. “They’re doing it the old way.” McGregor is a long-time friend of the Lockhart family and the vice president of the Teton Slow Food board. The international nonprofit orga-

nization has chapters across the globe that work to promote awareness and raise money for local food economies like the one the Lockhart Ranch is part of. Places around the world are suitable for producing different kinds of food. “That’s sort of the point of local economy,” McGregor said. Jackson thrives at making meat. “We have a tough climate,” McGregor said, “but have so much good meat.” Meat will be the main course of Saturday night’s dinner, but will share the plate with locally grown vegetables and side dishes. The dinner is a celebration of local food, but the after party will put local artists in the spotlight. Singer-songwriter Pat Chadwick will take the stage after dinner to get the party started. The Canyon Kids will finish off the night with music from their newest album, which they recorded in Teton Artlab. Tickets to the dinner cost $30 and are available at EventBrite.com (link on the Facebook event page). The after-party alone costs $5. Kids 12 and under are free. Parking is available on site, but those who arrive by bicycle will get a free drink ticket.

Jenny Lake rangers ‘too busy’ with rescues Each week through September the Stepping Out section will report trail conditions from three major agencies that manage public lands in the area. Turn here to find out where to go, which trails are not recommended and what to consider when venturing into the backcountry. Officials recommend you always pack warm clothing, rain gear, extra food and water and emergency supplies in case circumstances cause you to be out longer than planned.

Bridger-Teton National Forest

All trails are open. With late summer’s typical severe thunderstorms come downed trees across trails. Bridger-Teton officials always appreciate reports of downed trees or other trail problems. This is the last week for the Friends of Pathways local youth corps. Together with the Forest Service, these young people have done a tremendous amount of work to repair popular trails around Jackson. Last week they completed most of the repairs on the Ski Lake Trail. Look for new drainage structures that will prevent erosion and new rock steps to provide better footing and keep the trail from widening. This week they are focusing on completing a reroute on a section of the Munger Mountain trail system to replace a section that was eroding. Wilderness trail crews are preparing for a multiday trip with Sierra Club volunteers to rebuild the Ouzel Falls cutoff trail in the Gros Ventre Wilderness. Sections of the trail contain severe erosion gullies while other sections are difficult to follow. The work promises to offer a significant improvement to a trail that offers a nice loop option joining with the Gros Ventre and Dry Fork trails.

Trail Talk

Grand Teton National Park The Jenny Lake Rangers have been too busy during the past couple of weeks. Mountain rescues, some minor and some major, have been an almost daily occurrence during the month of August. Most, if not all, of these rescues could have been avoided with proper trip planning, preparation and decision-making. Hikers and climbers venturing into the Teton highcountry should follow these simple tips to avoid becoming a rescue statistic, or worse: Research your route ahead of time. The Jenny Lake Ranger Station is the best resource for climbing information and current conditions. Visit the ranger station daily between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. or call 7393343. “A Climbers Guide to the Teton Range” and TetonClimbing.blogspot.com are also excellent resources. Know the forecast, but be prepared for rapid changes in weather. MountainWeather.com and the National Weather Service are good resources for an accurate weather forecast, but are no substitute for sound judgment. Keep a keen eye to the sky, summit before noon, and head downhill if skies are threatening. Layers and rain gear are also a must. Be honest about your group’s abilities. All too often the allure of the Teton peaks can get hikers, climbers, and mountaineers into trouble. Assessing your group’s experience and fitness accurately and sticking to appropriate routes are essential for a successful trip.

For those looking to stick to lower elevations, August is a wonderful time to experience the wonders of the Tetons. While wildflowers are mostly gone for the season, thimbleberries, huckleberries and raspberries are all out in full force — just be sure you know which you can eat. Wildlife is also becoming more active as temperatures begin to cool, so keep your eyes peeled for bears and moose. People making overnight trips are reminded that all camping in the park’s backcountry requires a permit, which can be obtained at the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center in Moose or the Colter Bay Visitor Center. Information on backpacking can be found online at NPS.gov/grte/planyourvisit/back.htm. All hikers headed beyond Hidden Falls to Inspiration Point — and destinations within Cascade Canyon and beyond — will need to use the horse trail that lies just north of the boat dock on Jenny Lake’s west shore. The trail segment between Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point will be closed for most of the hiking season while park trail crews replace two wooden bridges over Cascade Creek and improve the steep and rocky ledge trail to Inspiration Point. Hikers can now use the southwest lakeshore trail along Jenny Lake and the parallel trail that rises above the lake shore and offers a view of the lake. Elk Ranch Flats is closed indefinitely due to wildlife activity. Information on closures can be found under “park alerts” on the park website at NPS.gov/grte. The Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center is open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily for questions.

To get over the river and through the woods with the least amount of stress, turn to these project updates and contacts to help plan your travels. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Town of Jackson: Access roads off West Broadway will be closed periodically while crews complete upgrades.

Signs will be posted along the stream at intervals as well as in all pullouts, trailheads, stream crossings, the Northeast Entrance station, and in the towns of Cooke City and Silver Gate, Montana. Elephant Back Trail and Natural Bridge Trail near Lake Village have reopened after a hiker was killed by a grizzly. The bears involved in the incident have been trapped and killed or relocated. The park’s bear management office reminds visitors to hike in groups of three or more, be alert, make noise, carry bear spray and never run. Lost Lake Loop in the Tower area is closed for bear management. Due to bear activity caution is advised in the Sepulcher, Beaver Ponds and Snow Pass areas and Glen Creek Trail from Howard Eaton to Glen Creek and Glen Creek to Snow Pass. There is a bear warning in Bechler Meadows. Bear sightings have been reported around Fairy Falls in the Old Faithful area within the past week. Frequent bear activity has been reported at Lava Creek Trail. Storm Point is closed because of a nearby bison carcass. A grizzly has been reported on the Lamar River Trail. Carcasses were reported on sites 6T1 and 6T2 in Thorofare/Mountain Creek and on the Turbid Lake Trail. The Antelope area is closed through Nov. 10. No offtrail travel is allowed in the Gallatin area, and only day use is permitted around Mirror Plateau. Park rangers remind people to not leave food unattended at any time. All food, trash and odorous items must be properly stored, hung 10 feet above the ground and 4 feet from side supports or placed in one of the installed metal bear-proof boxes or in approved bear canisters. Day hikers should keep their packs on their body or within reach. Backpackers should hang food immediately upon entering their campsite and before setting up camp.

Chef Notes

Spanish Octopus

Summertime Vegetables

1 whole octopus (if frozen, thaw and drain any excess water) ¼ cup kosher salt 2 ears of corn 5 garlic cloves 1 bay leaf 1 tablespoon whole peppercorns Olive oil to cover (I use California Olive Ranch oil)

7 ears yellow corn, for puree ¼ pound unsalted butter ¾ cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon black peppercorn, freshly cracked ½ onion, sliced 1 ear of yellow corn kernels 5 sprigs, your choice of greens/lettuce

Preheat the oven at 300 degrees. Place the octopus in a roasting pan. Add all ingredients and cover with olive oil. Cover the surface of the olive oil with parchment paper, then cover or wrap the pan with aluminum foil and place in the oven for three hours. Remove, unwrap and let the octopus cool in its own cooking liquid. Once the octopus has cooled down, remove and drain any oil. Place on cutting board and remove the mantle at a horizontal cut right below the siphon. Spread the arms out evenly and cut the body into halves with four arms on each. Remove the beak and cut each arm down in between the webs. To clean, run your thumb and index finger down the length of the arm to remove the web and or any extra oil. Cut each arm into appropriate lengths for plating.

Husk, clean, rinse the corn and cut from cobs. Place the butter, onion and corn in a medium-size pot and start sweating the vegetables over low heat. Once the onions are semi-translucent, pour in the heavy cream, salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the corn is tender. Next step is blending all together on high in small batches. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. For the corn kernels, cut off the cob and rinse out any starch and strain. When ready to serve, in a large saute pan add a drizzle of olive oil; once the pan begins to smoke add in your corn seasoning to taste and set aside. To plate, paint some shapes of puree on each plate, place portions of octopus, sprinkle with corn kernels and sprigs of greens.

The 2015 Harlow Summer Seminar Seminars at the AMK Ranch wraps up Thursday with a discussion on greater sage grouse conservation. The Jackson Hole sage grouse has received publicity recently because the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is about to decide whether to list the bird under the Endangered Species Act. Local populations have declined considerably over the past 60 years, and concerns about the birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future continue, given that Jackson Hole Airport is situated in the heart of its mating range. AMK Ranch Director Harold called the situation a wildlife conflict. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a sage grouse lek,â&#x20AC;? Bergman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a strutting ground right on the airport.â&#x20AC;? On Thursday wildlife biologist John Stephenson will lay out the history of local sage grouse and talk about conservation concerns and the status of efforts to save the bird. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to get different issues in front of the patrons that come to the seminars, including different kinds of critters in the park and also different kinds of issues,â&#x20AC;? Bergman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This one fits both.â&#x20AC;? Stephenson has worked with a variety of wildlife since Grand Teton

National Park hired him in 2008. Since 2012 he has been a member of the Upper Snake River Basin SageGrouse Working Group. The final talk of the summer series will begin with a 5:30 p.m. barbecue. The talk starts one hour later. To get to the AMK Ranch, drive to Leeks Marina parking lot in Grand Teton National Park, take a sharp right and drive one mile up the road to the Berol Lodge at the AMK Ranch. The destination is roughly one hour past Town Square. Stephenson wraps up a season of zoologists, entomologists, park biologists and ecologists addressing conservation strategies around the Tetons. Attendance this year was consistent with the 2014 average of 105 persons per seminar. Still, Bergman saw standingroom-only crowds when Mark Elbroch spoke on mountain lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; innate selflessness and Bob Smith addressed the volatility of the Yellowstone Caldera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two hundred people showing up to hear about mountain lions then again to hear about the Yellowstone Caldera,â&#x20AC;? Bergman said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty big crowd for us.â&#x20AC;? Similar specialists are being considered for next year, but first Bergman needs to reflect on the successful 2015 season, of rainless days over the preseminar barbecues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no special commemoration,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go down to the boat dock and breathe a sigh of relief for not having a rainstorm on our party.â&#x20AC;?

Dancers’ Workshop presents Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company’s performance of “Analogy/Dora: Tramontane” Saturday.

A dance-inspired flashback Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company members recall World War II in performance. By Frances Moody

lements of the past and present collided when dancers from the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company talked, sang and, of course, danced on stage this weekend. Presented by Dancers’ Workshop, the modern dance company’s performance of “Analogy/Dora: Tramontane” that occurred Friday and Saturday evening at the Center for the Arts connected the audience to a time of violence and suffering. It also demonstrated that human feelings tend to be a constant in an everchanging world. Gestures of kindness, tears of sadness and laughs of pure contentment are reactions that take place in any year, decade or century. The performance art experience that took place twice this weekend is based

Dancers from the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company use movable walls as a storytelling device for their performance at the Center for the Arts.

on an interview founder Bill T. Jones conducted with Dora Amelan, who is Jones’ mother-in-law and a Jewish

Pianist Emily Manzo and choreographer Bill T. Jones stand offstage following the performance of Jones’ Analogy/Dora: Tramontane in Jackson Saturday.

World War II survivor who worked for a French humanitarian organization during the war. Her job was to protect the lives of orphaned Jewish children whose parents were sent to concentration camps. Steps that can only be described as modern dance movements, a score that borrows from famous French songs and movable props suggested a cubist approach to storytelling. Much like the work of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, the subject of “Analogy” is easily understood, but the components used to express the narrative — such as dance, drama and sound — were used in new ways. Fragmented pieces of Amelan’s story were performed in episodes, with each dancer taking turns to speak lines from Jones’ interview with the World War II survivor. The experience of hearing the voices of the dancers, who usually are silent on stage, made it possible for the performers to break the wall built of blocks that represents mainstream dance and its stereotypes.

When talking into microphones, the female and male dancers’ distinct voices made it feel as if anyone could connect to Amelan, a 95-year-old woman who was young during a time of pain that is nearly impossible to imagine. In addition to speech, the musical score also expressed World War II themes. Performed by Nick Hallett and Emily Manzo, the piece featured piano, accordion, drums and human voice — instruments commonly used in French music in the 1940s. The composition, which Hallett created specifically for “Analogy,” also echoed electronic sounds heard in today’s music. The synthetic vibrations, however, eerily replicated the haunting feelings that were most likely expressed during the war. Props used in the show also framed the story. Similar to the geometric patterns found in the art of cubism, rectangular and L-shaped movable walls moved from corner to corner. Performers threw the walls to the ground and climbed through the mobile parts’ apparent windows and doors. Each time the walls moved it was clear that Amelan’s life was entering a new chapter or, in the case of this performance, a new episode. Sometimes the walls were pushed into clean structures. Other times they were shoved in a cattywampus manner. The walls’ placement seemed to mimic Amelan’s thoughts and feelings that were also demonstrated through dance and speech. Shadows were also used as a design element. Dancing on a white floor and in front of a white background, the performers’ shadows were cast tall on the ground and wall. Not only were the shadows an impressive visual element, they appeared to be a useful metaphor: Though World War II ended 70 years ago, it still casts its shadow on Amelan, the company and the audience.

Roeper at the Movies

‘U.N.C.L.E.’ is slickly, stylishly entertaining

f Ethan Hunt and his pals from the Impossible Missions Force ever took a breather and decided to have a night at the movies, I bet they’d like “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.”: So that’s how they did it back in the day! Check out those crazy old telephones and those old-timey planes and guns and cars! Like the “Mission: Impossible” film franchise, “The Man From U.N.C.L.E” is based on a Cold Warera television series created in the 1960s. But whereas the Tom Cruise movies are set in the present day, and recent editions have only the most tenuous connection to the original material, Guy Ritchie’s slick, stylish and consistently entertaining take on “U.N.C.L.E.” is an origins story set in the early 1960s. Ritchie (“Snatch,” the Robert Downey Jr.-starring “Sherlock Holmes” movies) can’t resist the temptation to invoke some of his trademark dazzling (and sometimes dizzying) camera moves, but “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” is also very much of its time. This is a movie that revels in the fashions, the interior designs, the cars, the weapons and the overall vibe of its time period. It’s a great-looking film populated by greatlooking people engaged in the usual convoluted espionage shenanigans in

which we’re not quite sure until the very end who’s really on the side of good and who’s working for the forces of evil. And we don’t much care, because it’s more about the ride than the plot payoffs. Kudos to Ritchie and his team of co-writers for not taking the story too seriously. This is as much a comedy as a thriller. Henry Cavill (your latest “Man of Steel”) gives a performance that wavers between droll and a bit stiff as Napoleon Solo, a dapper, dashing expert thief who was given a release from prison in exchange for agreeing to work for the CIA on whatever dangerous missions they send his way. (If the Solo character seems a bit Sean Connery-era Bond-esque, that’s no accident. Bond creator Ian Fleming re-

portedly had some minor involvement in the launching of the “U.N.C.L.E” TV series.) In a terrifically choreographed early action sequence, Solo barely escapes the clutches of a relentless, giant-sized Russian KGB agent named Illya. Armie Hammer, relishing every syllable of his oversized Russian accent, gives a wonderful, deadpan-funny performance as the stoic Illya, who has more than a few surprises up his sleeve as the story evolves. Despite Ilya’s keen interest in killing Solo and Solo’s keen interest in staying alive, a temporary truce is forged as their respective bosses set aside AmericanRussian conflict so their best agents can team up on a mission to, um, save the world so everybody can get back to the Cold War.

Alicia Vikander (“Ex Machina”) is Gaby, the daughter of a missing German scientist who could be the key to tracking down and stopping a mysterious group of evildoers bent on creating global havoc and destruction, because that’s pretty much always what mysterious groups of evildoers are all about in movies such as this, right? Gaby is dragged into the intrigue against her will, but it turns out she’s a natural-born secret agent type, and she fits right in with Solo and Illya. It’s almost as if they’re in the nascent stages of a secret organization that will be given an acronym! Vikander and Hammer have one of the goofiest and funniest hotel room encounters in recent memory. It’s one of those moments when “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” announces itself as equal parts spoof and spy thriller. Elizabeth Debicki does fine work as the villainous temptress Victoria. Hugh Grant is great fun in a too-brief role as Waverly, the classic higher-up who might be the only one in the movie who understands the complexities of the mission, and the true loyalties of all the players. Jared Harris, who was Lane Pryce on “Mad Men” and Professor Moriarty in Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows,” is excellent as Solo’s manipulative boss at the CIA. “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” plays like a lower-key, vintage edition of a “Mission: Impossible” movie. It’s a good movie with a great look. A Chicago Sun-Times columnist for more than 20 years, Richard Roeper reviews movies as they hit the screen.
