When the utility got started in 1939, George Amen became Fall River Electric Cooperative’s first president of the board of directors.

Lights turn on, the washing machine whirls and dishwashers swish so instantaneously that most people never think about how it happens. Not so 75 years ago. In 1938, a group in Ashton was thinking very hard about power. They came up with Fall River Rural Electric Cooperative, which lit up Teton Valley in 1941. Power has come a long way since then. While the farmers in Ashton were brainstorming how to produce energy, today’s energy users need to think about how to reduce energy, at least in terms of output and demand, and source it innovatively. “Fall River hit its all time peak of power usage this July when electricity Fall River continued on A18

Young soccer players make Olympic Development Team

These six young soccer players have been selected for the Idaho Olympic Development Program soccer team. From left, Dakota Chapman, Rey Velazquez, Jaide Tzompa, Chava Velazquez, Hernan Velazquez and Jose Tzompa. All except Hernan will be on the 1998 team, while Hernan will join the 2001 team. Team names are based on the players’ birth years.

Ken Levy TVN Staff Six Teton Football Club youngsters have been selected for the Idaho Olympic Development state soccer team. The Idaho team, part of the national Olympic Development Program, gathers all the best soccer players from the state, coached by the best coaches in the state to help further the skills and opportunities of young players, said Mike Gormley, who’s coached the local team for the past three years. “This is the next highest level” from TFC, he said, “and all six made it.” Dakota Chapman, Rey Velazquez, Jaide Tzompa, Chava Velazquez and Jose Tzompa will join the 1998 team, while Hernan Velazquez will join the 2001 team. Those dates represent the players’ birth years. The first five are Teton High School

students and players, and Hernan is from Teton Middle School. The program is separate from the school programs in the district. The ODP gives youngsters the opportunity to play in state tournaments, with the best selected for regional teams and on to national if they’re selected. Coaches also vie for those opportunities. “This is the first of several steps for [the players] to make pro,” Gormley said. TFC is comprised of youths ages 12-15, for both boys and girls. TFC is ranked third in the state. “We’re the farthest team from everybody,” he said, and parents have to transport their players to games. During their first tournament, the players barely had jerseys. Soccer continued on A18

Locals share ideas for injecting new life in the Valley Bridget Ryder TVN staff Change, innovation, renovation all start with ideas. Mix up the talent pool in Teton Valley and fund a spectacle of economic development. The Teton Valley News asked locals to brainstorm ways to inject new life into some of the empty real estate around town. From big dreams to an emphasis on the value of people, ideas abound to keep making Teton Valley better. One local business owner also thought up a way to fund local entrepreneurialism from idea to reality. Dennis duNann, owner of Alpine Wines in Driggs, has a plan to bring something big right into downtown Driggs. He’s taking steps to construct New Faithful Park one block off Main Street in the old Stock Lumber Yard behind Rick’s Framing. A TVN Photos/Bridget Ryder geyser-like fountain synchronized with When the old courthouse is empty, what should go there? Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park would be the centerpiece for the area that would also include an amphitheater large enough to host events such as Music on Main. It’s duNann’s plan to replace downtown blight with marketability. He compared it to the Seattle Center, where “you can go downtown anytime, day or night” and find people hanging out. The park could also serve as a start line or destination for races. But duNann also knows that people with ideas may need an outside financial This historic building in Victor needs a new This remodeled potato cellar in Tetonia is ready and waiting for brillant ideas. boost to get them off the ground.

He’s filling a start the restaurants and other amenities like St. George and Park City, and mimic

some ideas,” he wrote. “That all being said, I like the idea of attraction rather than just another place to spend money. The courthouse might be a cool visitor’s center (or regional info) area that could be morphed into something attraction-based - something dramatic. I personally think EBR-1 in Arco is pretty awesome, but it’s kind of in the same boat. The dome laser show in Salt Lake City, and the stainless steel river display in the airport in Jackson stand out in my mind... Anyway, in terms of galleries and shops that can fit into small spaces, it’s beyond me.” Juanita Flores has been nurturing the amenity of cultural diversity for the last year through salsa dancing lessons at the Tin Cup Challenge, Day of the Dead altars at the Art Walk and other activities of the Teton Valley Hispanic Resource Center. “The Old Courthouse would be the perfect home for The Hispanic Resource Center. I worked there for three plus years, and I love that old building. We would have enough room for the adult [education classes] classes, and the folklorico [dancing group] could have their own practice room,” Flores wrote. “The city of Driggs has been so generous in letting us use their facilities, but it would be good to have our own permanent location. La casa de la Cultura...every town should have one.” Of course people make the place, as Greg Stone recognized. “There is a tremendous amount of talent to share within our community, and one of the buildings could be called “The Talent Pool” with a nominal fee paid to the owner for usage by attendees,” Stone suggested in an email. “I envision attendees getting a starter form with a page or two of talents available from certain ‘experts’ within the Talent Pool and request for more talent types and offer talents. Materials paid for from the treasurers ‘Green Pool’”. Stone, who lives just north of Driggs, had one more request: “Along those lines, we could sure use a junior college.”

Opinion Enemies within destroying our nation Our country is in crisis and that is why I write letters. I do not write because I enjoy writing letters but because some things must be said and some misstatements must be answered. The responses to my letters do not brim with praise, to say the least. I get a few comments from some who agree but lots of roiling contentious castigation and some threats; I am cautioned by some to be kind and encouraged by others to go for the throat. What is happening here in Teton Valley is what is happening all over the country, and it is sad, and I care! And so I write letters. I love this valley: I love its beauty – the mountains, streams and fields, I love its people, I love my church and my friends. My wife and I came here many years ago and raised a bunch of kids who have gone out into the world filled with the ethics for hard work, self reliance and morality that they learned in Teton Valley. Sixty six years ago this great nation let me come across its border, took me in, and I have loved it deeply from that day - and it hurts me to see what is happening. Our nation is being destroyed and the sad fact is that it is being destroyed by enemies from within who hate us, whom we have voted in and invited in. There is a prevalent part of our society that now calls right wrong and wrong right, those who call evil good and call good evil. Cleverly and with great foresight they frame discussions far from the things that matter and tell us what we must argue about. They define the terms

Kitchener Head and change what things are called and stir the pot until reason fades and common sense is lost in a fog. They call the destruction of innocent unborn children not murder but “choice” and they call the theft of property and property rights not robbery but, in the terms of the United Nations, “sustainable development”. Well, let’s pretend that we still live in America, let’s go back a short step to a few years ago when we dared call things what they were, when a spade was a spade and we were the land of the free and the bastion of liberty, and we were not strangled by the sickness of political correctness. Let’s call things what they are. Killing unborn children is not someone’s right or choice, it is wrong and it is evil. Robbing your neighbor of his rights and property, whether with a gun or a vote is not something you are entitled to, it is evil. Homosexual unions have been known for thousands of years, but to call for the union of two males or two females to be sanctioned as a “marriage,” under our laws, is not just ludicrous and downright silly, it is evil. Welfare fills an important role in our society and is sometimes very necessary, but to have able-bodied people living in families, who have been on welfare

Want to rant about a story or see what others have to say about a topic?

for their third and fourth generations because they choose not to work, is not just ridiculous, damn-fool nonsense, it is robbery, it is theft, and that is evil. To have folks with jobs and new cars, fancy clothes and expensive toys swipe their EBT cards at the cash register and charge their groceries to you is not just wrong, it is evil. Our free agency and ability to choose for ourselves is a God given right and what freedom is all about, and to have that taken away from us bit by bit is not just wrong, it is evil. So what is it that we discuss, what are our debates about? We don’t talk about whether the killing of unborn babies or same sex marriage is right or wrong, but whether saying so is judgmental, because, heaven forbid, if we are JUDGEMENTAL then we are BIGOTS and HATERS. We certainly do not want to be bigots and haters so we flee from the fight, clap our hands over our mouths and fail to speak up, and we don’t write our letters, and the evil goes on and our nation staggers into free fall. In Teton County we had an election. It meant something. The American way is that if you don’t like what the elected rascals are doing then vote the rascals out. We did that. That is the way it works and it is working here. That is just a small step taken toward getting our nation back. May God bless us and the United States of America?

Letters to the editor Thanks, Victor Vet Clinic

Soros: Please paint my house

“Brutus” our four-legged boy passed away on 9/11/2013. It is hard to find the right words, but it is important to us to express our sincere thanks to Jane and her staff at Victor Vet Clinic. Over the years the compassion and care they gave to Brutus means so much to us, and that compassion and care carried through to his last day. Jane, thank you for your kindness to us through this difficult time and the extraordinary care you gave to our boy “Brutus.” John and Rachel Cormier Victor

It seems we owe a debt of gratitude to County Commissioners Kunz and Park. According to a recent letter from Kitchener Head, their presence is the only thing standing in the way of a complete takeover of Teton Valley by the United Nations! The part I don’t understand, though, is why the United Nations would want us. We have six gas stations, but that is hardly a dent in the world’s oil reserves. Maybe they like seed potatoes. I have to admit we do have a lock on the world’s best huckleberry shakes. Also according to Mr. Head, there is a wealthy man named George Soros, who contributes

heavily to the liberals here. I, personally, am a bona fide liberal. In the latest Democratic primary I ran for party captain in precinct three. I spent nothing on my campaign and received no campaign contributions. I won thirty seven votes—all of them—in a total victory. Like most liberals I believe in responsible government that is honest, open and fair, and I absolutely agree with Mr. Head that we should thwart all efforts by the U.N. to take over the valley. So, Mr. Soros, we have never spoken, but if you are reading this letter and if it is true that you enjoy contributing to liberals, I have a house that needs painting. John Greenwood Driggs

Five most common hunting violations

Every year as hunting seasons get underway, Wyoming Game and Fish offices receive numerous questions about game laws and what hunters can and cannot do while in the field. Some of the questions come from new residents who are not familiar with Wyoming law and how Wyoming laws may differ from their previous residence. Most Wyoming laws are a matter of common sense, but there are some laws and regulations that are violated more frequently than others. The following five common violations crop up every hunting season:

1. Failure to tag. Every big and trophy game license has a carcass coupon attached. Each license has the tagging instructions printed on the coupon. When the animal is killed, detach the tag from the license and date the carcass coupon by cutting out the entire day and month of the kill. Sign the license and attach it to the carcass before leaving the site of the kill. The coupon may be removed during transportation to prevent its loss, but it must be in possession of the person accompanying the carcass. You must detach, sign, and date the tag to comply with the tagging regulation. Omitting any of these steps constitutes a violation..

2. Shooting from a vehicle. It is illegal to shoot any wildlife except predatory animals from any motorized vehicle, including off-road vehicles and snowmobiles. To fire a weapon in compliance with the law, a person must be out of the vehicle. Hunters holding a handicapped hunter permit are exempt from this requirement.

3. Shooting from a road. It is illegal to shoot or attempt to kill any wildlife from any public road or highway. No person shall fire any firearm from, along, or across any public road or highway. A public road is defined as any road that is open to the public for vehicular traffic. The road surface, the area between fences on a fenced public road or highway, and the area 30 feet perpendicular to the road surface on unfenced public roads is considered the public road. Two-track trails on public land are not public roads. 4. Failure to retain evidence of sex. Many Wyoming licenses require the taking of a specific sex of animal. In certain hunt areas there are restrictions regarding which sex of animal may be taken during specific season dates. To satisfy the proof of sex requirement the regulation states: “in areas where the taking of any big game animal is

restricted to a specific sex of animal, either the visible external sex organs, head, or antlers shall accompany the animal as a whole or edible portion thereof.”

5. Trespass. Wyoming law states that no person shall enter private land to hunt, fish or trap without written permission from the landowner or person in charge of the property. The hunting license must bear the signature of the landowner or agent of the landowner on whose property the hunting is taking place or legitimate proof that permission to hunt has been granted. It is the responsibility of hunters to know whether land is public or private. To request a Bureau of Land Management map showing public and private lands, call 307-775-6256. Many Wyoming sporting-goods businesses carry BLM maps for their local area. Hunters with GPS units may buy a micro SD chip (developed by HuntingGPSmaps.com) from Game and Fish (307-777-4600) that shows land status and hunter location.

Hunters urged to carry bear spray in grizzly bear country The Wyoming Game and Fish Department urges hunters and other backcountry users to be cautious when recreating in bear country, and to carry and know how to use bear spray. “As bears become more active and hunters begin to pursue game in the field, we anticipate that there will be an increase in human-bear encounters,” said Tara Teaschner, Cody information and education specialist for Game and Fish Department. “As hunters, we do exactly the opposite of what we would have most recreationists do to avoid bear encounters—you might say that hunters are pre-disposed to encounters,” Teaschner said. Hunters typically move quietly, camouflage their bodies, mask their human scent, are active at dawn and dusk, and use game calls to mimic bear prey. “All of these behaviors make hunters successful, but at the same time, there is an inherent risk of attracting bears or bumping into one,” Teaschner said. “If you hunt in bear country, being prepared for an encounter and knowing what to do when you encounter a bear should be as automatic or routine as packing an extra jacket so that you are prepared for inclement weather,” Teaschner said. To improve the odds of minimizing conflicts, Teaschner suggests the following:

• Carry a bear deterrent and know how • When retrieving game, make noise; use to use it. Many aggressive bears have binoculars to search the area for bears been deterred through the use of bear and to determine if the game has been spray.

Back in the saddle again…for a week With the cats away, it’s time to play, at least for a few days. The TVN’s editor and publisher were sequestered in meetings with corporate types in Seattle as this went to press, leaving it to me to help fill in the gaps in this week’s paper. It’s amazing how much you can forget after being gone only three weeks.

Rotary scholarship winner Daniela Olivas discussed her studies at Rotary Club of Teton Valley’s luncheon in August.

Olivas discusses Rotary studies, research Former Teton High student, Daniela Olivas, spoke at Rotary Club of Teton Valley’s luncheon in August about her studies and a research project she worked on the past year. Olivas was a Rotary scholarship recipient and active member in the high school’s Interact club. Each year Teton Valley’s local Rotary club hosts between 8-10 students throughout the school year, each presenting on their experience in high school, their successes, challenges, involvement in school as well as contribution to their community. Daniela was one of these students chosen as a final scholarship recipient. Olivas was a recipient of a $1500 Rotary Phyllis Morey scholarship, available to students of at least fifty percent Hispanic heritage. Rotary has donated over $40,000 in scholarships to Teton Valley senior students since the program began. Olivas is just one of these students, and based on her presentation - she shows a bright and promising future. Currently studying Biochemistry at Boise State University, Olivas was accepted as an intern to INBRE (IdeA Network Research of Biomedical Research Excellence), where she spent the summer studying the E.Coli 157 bacteria and the effects of removing an enzyme from the bacteria and then observing the effects on the growth of the bacteria. Olivas shared that the outcome of this project could lead to better treatment options for such bacterial infections. When asked how Rotary’s scholarship benefited her education, she expressed gratitude for assistance with the expensive textbooks that accompany a science major. She also shared that the leadership experience she gained in Interact and exposure to “real world issues” led her to become involved in two oncampus organizations focused on helping others. Rotary International is an organization with over a million members strong, all dedicated to Service. With more than 34,000 clubs worldwide, members volunteer in communities at home and abroad to support education and job training, provide clean water, combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, and eradicate polio. Teton Valley’s Rotary club has organized such efforts as the Food Bank, Winter Coat Drive, Paint the Tetons, High School Scholarships, International Youth Exchange, dictionaries to schools, and a clean water project in Cambodia — to name a few. More information can be found online at TetonValleyRotary.com.

Littering was reported near the Big Eddy, when a woman said she was picking up trash and found several pieces with identification information. The sheriffs’ office made contact with the identified person who finished picking up the trash. A woman reported when she got out of the shower one of the painters who had been working at her house was looking through her window. A deputy is following up with the alleged painter’s employer. An irrigation pivot on the Shiess Farm was shot with a 22-caliber rifle. It caused $400 to $500 of damage. A sixteen-year-old ran away from home. On Saturday she called her guardian and told her where she was and said she just needed money to get home. The guardian told the girl she would not give her any more money. She needed to turn herself in and go through the proper channels. The girl said she would call someone else. A hit and run was reported when a woman said she went out to her car in the morning and found a scratch from the front passenger door to the rear tire. She said the car had been at her boyfriend’s house the night before and she remembered some of the people who were at that party. A deputy is following up with the people at the party and looking at their cars.

104 YEARS Obituaries_____________________

Paul J. (“Stogie”) Raube Sr., a resident of Ventnor, New Jersey for more than sixty years, passed away in Alta , Wyoming on July 31, 2013, at the age of 91. He will long be remembered for his loyalty to family and friends, his irrepressibleness and the mischievous glint in his eyes. Paul was very proud of his Polish roots. Born and raised in “Fishtown” Philadelphia, Paul and his wife Jane (Reilly) lived briefly in Miami, Florida before making their home in Ventnor. There they founded the Community Market and the Community Liquor Store, which they ran together for more than forty years. They also founded the Community Liquor Store in Absecon. Paul valued hard work and enjoyed mentoring the young people who worked for him throughout the years and who became lifelong friends. Paul served his country in World War II as a paratrooper with the 503rd Airborne Combat Team, which saw action in the South Pacific. He took part in the famous Battle of Corregidor (February 16-26, 1945) as one of 1000 troops who “touched down on topside,” parachuting onto the island in 16-18 knot winds. Paul enjoyed the 503rd reunions until he was well into his 80’s, and valued these lifelong friendships as well. Paul was a huge supporter of Ventnor youth sports. He helped re-introduce hockey to Atlantic County in the 1970’s with the Junior Blazers Hockey Team. Paul is survived by his son Paul Jr. and daughter-in-law Rose (Egnor) (Alta, WY), who, together with their children Reilly and James, welcomed Paul into their home in his twilight days and made him comfortable and happy. He is also survived by his daughter Patricia and her partner Sherry Eaton (Binghamton, NY), and Patricia’s children Edward (Ned) and Joan

Hearing on Victor water rates scheduled Bridget Ryder TVN staff

The city is proposing a tiered, seasonal fee structure and base rate:

The Victor City Council will hold a public hearing on Sept. 25 to consider setting new water rates. The hearing will take place at 7 p.m. in city hall. Rob Hueseveldt, city engineer and administrator, told the council back in June the city has been functioning at a deficiency in its water fund for three years and has been draining its reserve fund to make up the difference. Hueseveldt concluded the city’s present fee structure was not sufficient for covering the costs of operating its water system. He calculated the city needed to collect and average of $52 per month from each residence. Current residential rates average about $32 a month.

Forest Service to replace Darby Trail bridge The U.S. Forest Service will be replacing the bridge on FS Trail 033, the South Darby (Wind Cave) trail, as well as relocating the trailhead and the parking area, beginning Sept. 23. During this time, the trail will remain open, but hikers are cautioned they will have to follow the signs for the temporary reroute and wade across the creek. The Darby Canyon Road, No. 012, will be closed before the current trailhead for safety reasons, as the current parking area will be a construction zone. The temporary public parking site

will be designated below the last cattle guard. The new parking lot will expand the capacity to 20 vehicles from the current 10 with adequate space for turning around while minimizing impacts on riparian areas. There will also be an additional two horse-trailer parking areas. Next year, more improvements will permanently reroute the trail to the new parking lot.

Commissioners mid-term review Bridget Ryder TVN Staff

The Teton Valley News sat down with each of the three members of the Board of County Commissioners for a mid- term check in. Each commissioner was asked the same questions without previewing them before hand. Parts of the interviews are printed here. See the complete transcript online at tetonvalleynews.net.

Question and answer with the Teton County Commissioners Sid Kunz

Commissioner Sid Kunz was elected to his fist term on the Board of County Commissioners in November 2012. His term ends Jan. 11, 2015. He comes from the Victor District. How have you kept your campaign promises? I feel like I’ve supported property rights. I’ve been really fiscally responsible. We’re working on a code that will be balanced for property owners and everybody else in the valley, that will be really good for everybody involved if they will sit back and take a look at it. How do you inform yourself when you make decisions? I have a group of people that I trust that I talk to occasionally, and most of the time I make decisions based on my personal views. What do you think are the best and worst decisions this commission has made? I’ll stand by hiring Stephen Loosli. He’s done a pretty good job, and, in the end, he’ll write us a code that everyone can be happy with. Some of the things I’m disappointed in—the budget discussion. I was hoping to find more money for roads and in the end we didn’t. There were needs in other places. The Law Enforcement Center is questionable…there could have been some more money saved there. Its look—I don’t think it fits in with the city and there could have been a lot of money saved on its design. How do you want to implement the comp plan? Give three specifics. I support the economic development center. They’re on the way to doing some pretty good things that go along with the comp plan. There’s parts of the comp plan that say that we’re going to improve all roads including ag to market roads and we need to look at that a little bit better. I’m sure it says something about bringing

It’s somewhere in the middle, where landowners can feel like their property rights are being maintained and the other side can feel like their open space is being maintained.

Question and answer

with the Teton County Commissioners

Kelly Park

Kelly Park is the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners. He is in his second term, which ends Jan. 8, 2017. He represents the Tetonia District. How have you kept your campaign promises? Pretty good, except I’d like to make sure that we’re maintaining our tax roll accordingly, that our taxes aren’t too low, that we still maintain good roads, and I think I’m following pretty close to what I said. I’m trying stay as open as possible but this year for some reason with all the negative stuff that’s out there it’s hard to maintain, to not become hardened. This community has turned into a boiling pot for some reason. People are not quite sure where we’re moving to, how government moves, and every election moves it in a different direction anyway. I want equal representation through out the community so we quit the bickering. As soon as we start working together this community will come together as a whole. I’ve seen this community change leaps and bounds, we’re very blessed as far as how beautiful this community is. We just don’t want to mess it up, we want to keep it clean and we’re making strides to make the community a better place to live—keeping our taxes low. I’m going to make the choice for them with what information I gathered from the people rather than go out and have somebody get it from a study. I bring a construction mentality and I want this place to grow and thrive and be beautiful. I want people to look at all of us here in the community and say, yes, you’re looking at that person’s merit. How do you inform yourself when making decisions? Listen to everybody and take in all their information. Everybody’s going to have a different opinion and you might get five different ones and mold them together and make the right decision or make the best decision you can. What do you think are the best and the worst decisions this commission has made? Everybody’s going to have an opinion on what’s worse and what’s bad. Everybody’s going to have an opinion on who’s a great leader and who’s not a great leader. Me, just looking at the justice center…we could have made that a little more western rustic without the arches. I think it’s really good that we really went out and tried to get our large landowners involved in our Planning and Zoning Commission. I want that to be represented better.

will prosper because there will be more people spending money in there. Our EMTs, I love what they’re doing. I’d love to see that department grow because the county watches that, mandates that money-wise, and these people that are in that, EMTs, have their time when they’re off in our hospital to keep costs down. If that went over to fire or fire decides they’re going to do that on their own, I think that’s a big mistake because then you’re just duplicating something that doesn’t need to be duplicated. What I would like to see is a joint commission that dealt with one fire commissioner and one EMT commissioner and one county commissioner and have them be the ones to work that so that it is done properly because the fire department their portion of dispatch money was $90,000 and they will only give us $50,000 because they think that’s all that’s their fair share, well we’re all part of this. Our big goal through the commissioners is to get our people up to 86 percent on their pay scale and to make sure their pay scale finally reaches what the state mandates. We just have got to get road and bridge more money. Jay [Mazalewski, county engineer and public works director], he’s done an excellent job. Everything was just kind of patched and now he’s trying to get things on a schedule that it will eventually all be caught up. I think he said with the study it would be like $28 million to get everything caught up. Right now right today we have about $2 million in the Road and Bridge budget. What’s your timeframe for updating the development code? That’s a hard one for me because they’re trying to match them and trying to bring them in and then match them with the state and is above my scope of work as far as what I can understand and I hope what we stress with Mr. Loosli is that they get done sooner rather than later. Sid and I would like to see it get done quicker and if it gets done quicker, it saves us money. Anything that we can do to get that done quicker and we allow Mr. Loosli to do his job then he can get his job done quicker. Then when Lee [Einsweiler from Code Studios] and him get together the two of them will come out with something fine for this community. All we’re going to do is just keep pushing him and anyone that keeps whining, we’re going to definitely stifle that person. We’ll listen to what they have to say, and they better have fact, but if they’re doing it just doing it to disrupt this process then what we’ll do is just ignore it. You 100 percent ignore them, there’s a process here and you have to go through it. What’s the hardest thing about being a commissioner? It’s the half truths that people tell you. The constant bickering that’s going on, and it comes from all sides. Everybody wants something and we have x amount of dollars to get something for as many troubled areas as we have and it’s like do your raise the taxes? I don’t want to raise taxes. I think if we can start working together, we can be the model community of the state of Idaho.

Question and answer

with the Teton County Commissioners

Kathy Rinaldi

Commissioner Kathy Rinaldi is serving her second term on the Board of County Commissioners. Her first term was a two-year term. She is currently in the third year of four-year term that ends Jan. 11, 2014. Rinaldi represents the Driggs District. How have you kept your campaign promises? I think I’ve run on a platform of fair, consistent, predictable government and I think I’ve stuck with it through both terms. I think as a governing board how you establish fair consistent government is through your policies and your codes. The lawmaking board is what puts policies in place. There’s been a lot of work towards getting more consistent polices and I think we contributed to that and then I also think that we saw a lot of ambiguity within our codes and we’ve worked on trying to make those codes clearer, because the worst place you can be as a decision maker is with ambiguous policy and codes and it’s left up to you as a decision maker to try to interpret what those mean. How do you inform yourself when making decisions? I do a lot of homework. I do a lot of reading. I talk to people who know more about the issue than I do. Whether it’s roads, I rely on the engineer and the road supervisor since they have so much experience and the engineer had been schooled in that area—same with planning. Other tougher issue like the hospital conversion, I really rely on that board since that have been appointed in a large degree based on their skill set, and of course the public—public opinion and public comment always weighs into that. It’s a balance of all of those resources to make that decision. What do you think are the best and worst decisions this commission has made? I think the best decision by this board is to introduce the town hall meeting and morning mic—those have been great— as well as recording the meetings. The worst decisions have been in the planning department, whether it was first to fire an employee that wasn’t directly under us — which is contrary to our policy — or whether it was hiring the planning consultant. I don’t object to hiring the planning consultant, I object to the process of how that was done. We’ve had three scopes of work that have been very, very different and to me it’s still not clear what that position is supposed to do. I know it’s clear to other commissioners what they’re supposed to do, but the way I think and operate is that if it’s not written down it doesn’t exist. Unless something is written down and clear it’s kind of hard to figure out. I have been on the record about growing the Planning and Zoning commission. I understand the intent of building

that plan and not being able to identify that plan, we just kind of run in place. So I think that is challenge in this community to say diversity and I welcome “yeah, that’s our plan and that. But I don’t think we’re strong enough to growing a board that is stand behind that plan charged with making and we’re going to work recommendations to an with that plan.” Because 11-member board is the there’s going to be parts right decision, though in whatever plan that we I will say I’m open to do that people are going the process and to seeto say I don’t like that part ing how it works.

It’s much the most expensive things this county has bigger than “let’s draft a development done is change a lot of the agricultural code and we’re done.” What gets all the land into low density residential and that chatter in the paper is land use and land does not imply that people don’t get to use is just one piece of that component. choose where they’re going to live.

People looking at investing here long term effects that affect absolutely definitely have that “I’ll take a look at everyone from large landowners who that.” And I think what’s clear in Teton have thousands of acres and don’t have Valley is that we need outside investment. the funds to keep up the infrastructure, So there’s policies in the comp plan that to people who live on those quarter acre are clear and here’s your timetable and lots and pay proportionally more in taxes you’re working on this. It’s very clear to help subsidize that growth. how here’s the things you need to do in this time period and if we follow that I There’s so many ways to talk about zonthink we will take those bites out of the ing. I think that’s any easy out to for elephant. And it’s an elephant. So I think folks to say “zoning’s going to solve the its hard to say three things because they problem.” There’s so many ways to look kind of flow together. When you do one, at zoning and I think the most archaic the other, it kind of falls into place and way you can look at it is going ag 1, ag mixes in with all the other ones. That’s 2.5, 10 ag, 20 ag 80. It’s more than a why I think it’s a little shallow to say number, it’s about a quality, and zoning “oh, it’s a wildlife habitat overlay, if we tries to get to that and often fails. So just address it we’ve addressed all our I think it’s a lot more than just saying problems.” It’s just not that simple, “If you’re in ag 20 and you’re in industrial. we just fix all our roads and get them all up to being awesome paved roads that’s Define diversity and what it going to be the silver bullet,” it’s just not. means for Teton County.

forms. I think it grew my wisdom of how government works. I think democracy is a great system. What are your goals for the rest of your term and how have pushback or support from the community influenced them? Try to be reasonable. My platform, my point of view is not the majority. I appreciate that, so my goal is to try to give another perspective into that decision making and having a healthy debate on the issues and coming to a conclusion. I can live with a different opinion but the reason, the rationale behind it is really important—not just for the decision but for the public to see. My goal right now is just to be a voice of reason in some situations and introduce a different point of view that represents a big part of the community and hope my fellow commissioners can hear that point of view and take it for what it is instead of just ignoring it because I don’t think that’s helpful in the community. And I know there’s perceptions of how things were done before but I think as leaders we have to take that and file that and put that somewhere and go in with an open mind or that I’m willing to listen and learn how the process works. My goal this term is to be reasonable and be a voice of reason in some of these situations. I’m not getting push back. I’m a little marginalized. I’m not getting push back because I guess I’m not pushing anything forward. What’s your timeframe for writing a new development code? To start, unless the leadership can get behind the comp plan it’s really hard to get behind the code. I’ve asked them [Commissioners Kunz and Park] directly are we working under this document and I know Mr. Loosli has said he’s read the plan and there’s nothing controversial in it and they haven’t introduced any amendments to the plan, so we can only assume that that’s the document we’re working under. But they also haven’t publicly gotten behind it. It’s really hard to do on a shaky foundation like that. It’s just going to take longer unless you just aggressively push and that’s an option, too. You can aggressively push and push stuff through but I would really ask and be concerned what toll that would take on the entire community. When you have controversial or turbulent times it takes really strong leadership to get through those. What’s the hardest thing about being commissioner? It’s definitely hard being commissioner in a small community. It’s a little bit like living in a fish bowl. There are decisions that you make that people on both sides of the court will not be happy with and you have to be able to live with that. I know there are decisions I’ve made in the past that I’ve regretted because I’ve tortured myself in those decisions feeling politically pressured but in my heart knowing that was the wrong decision. I said I’m not going to do that again. I will always do my homework.

Gerardo Martin Flores of Driggs represented Mexico in Jackson, Wyo., on Sunday where Teton Valley’s own Ballet Folklorico performed at the Wort Hotel’s Latino Heritage Celebration.

Gratitude for community Bridget Ryder TVN staff iller Park in Jackson Wyo., became a scene of celebration Sunday afternoon in honor of Mexico. It was the eve of Mexico’s Independence Day, Sept. 16, but he cry for liberty resounded in the Tetons. The dancers of the Teton Valley’s Ballet Folklorico group provided entertainment for The Wort Hotel’s 7th annual Latino Heritage Celebration. Jim Waldrop, general manager for the hotel said the hotel’s employees inspired the event. The owners went to their employees to find out what more they could do to acknowledge the Hispanic community. “It was born of a group of employees” who said they needed a celebration of to honor Mexico’s Independence Day. The seventh year of the fiesta was also the debut performance at the event for the Ballet Folklorico dancers. “This year the Teton Valley Dancers were a wonderful addition and we hope they come back for many years to come,” Waldrop said. ”We’re really happy to give back to the Hispanic community.” Waldrop said approximately 30 to 35 percent of the hotel’s employees are Hispanic. The hotel also participated in the H2B seasonal worker program until the number of visas was drastically reduced in 2007. A mostly Hispanic crowd started to gather in the park at 4 p.m. for a free buffet of tacos. Dancers from preschoolers to adults then stepped onto the temporary stage to swing long, colorful skirts to traditional songs from several parts of Mexico including Jalisco, Veracruz and the northern regions. After the dancing, the dancers and attendees formed a parade led by Jackson’s Mayor Mark Barron and Waldrop. The procession stopped at the steps of the hotel where Waldrop took the microphone. “We’re here today to celebrate Mexican Independence day and all you and everything you mean to this community. We are proud to have you a vital part of this

Mobile food ordinance almost a go Bridget Ryder TVN staff The Victor City Council is one step closer to an ordinance regulating food trucks and trailers. In the third installment of an ongoing public hearing the council finally reached an agreement, though the language of the ordinance is still being finalized by the city attorney. The ordinance will allow for food trailers a quarter mile off Main Street or partnered with an existing business. Councilman Brent Douglass continued to advocate for a more encompassing ordinance. He said the ordinance on the table still felt like it had holes in it. He cited examples of ordinances from other cities that had multiple definitions and licenses for mobile vendors. He also found the proposed ordinance too restrictive. “I definitely support free enterprise,” he said. “And I feel the way this is written is limiting on that.” “The proposed draft is less restrictive than what’s on file,” Herb Hiemerl, city attorney, said. The current ordinance permits food trailers to operate only for 14-days as temporary businesses.

Hiemerl said that the proposed ordinance left many things unaddressed, but that unless the city wanted to pay professionals to comprehensively write its code, the council would have to do the best it could. He encouraged the council to at least pass something that was less restrictive than what was already on the books. “I think what’s here meets the framework for health and safety,” Councilman Jeff Potter said. Mayor Zach Smith said that having food trailers paired with existing businesses would avoid situations the council and the ordinance could not anticipate. Councilman Wayne Maness said that he had been “holding out” for a meeting of the minds that would help the council work out the details of an ordinance, but realized “they are looking for us make a decision.” Some food vendors supported the ordinance while brick and mortar restaurants had spoken out in opposition. Maness said he supported the ordinance as allowing for a variety of “commitment levels” for businesses. The council came to a consensus that a mobile vendor license would be a oneyear renewable license.

Victor City Council notes September 11 Bridget Ryder TVN staff Ford Garage Renovation Rick Miller from The Development Company presented to the Victor City Council the news of planned renovations on the old Ford Garage in Driggs. The Development Company secured a grant to turn the building into a satellite campus for Eastern Idaho Technical College and a small business incubator. Miller said The Development Company would be looking at forming a committee to gather public input on what education and vocational training programs the community might want. Mayor Zach Smith expressed interest in including culinary programs. He also said some small farms had asked about the possibility of a community kitchen. Miller also said that community block grants for Main Street projects were available, though funding was limited. Competitive applicants would need to have strong planning and economic development components. Mountain Man Rendezvous Becky Maness and Arnold Avy reported to the council about the Mountain Man Rendezvous held in August. Maness said the seven mountain men who set up camps at the event told her it was a good showing for a first time rendezvous. According to Maness they all said they would return. Avy added that information spreads by word of mouth through the mountain man community and the good recommendations from these mountain men should draw more next year. Maness said the timing of the event worked well because it fit into the regional circuit between rendezvous in Fort Bridger, VT and West Yellowstone. Maness also reported the mountain liked the location, but found it dusty and camping next to the highway noisy. They also suggested more signage. She said they would have more time to plan next year’s event and be able to have it included in calendars in Mountain Men magazines. Avy said the valley’s true rendezvous history is an attractive element to mountain men.

project-engineering fees through Sunrise Engineering. Hueseveldt worked for that firm. Taking on Hueseveldt full-time in 2012 at a salary of $83,000 instead of contracting for engineering services equaled a $20,779 in savings for the city just in salaries. In 2013, the city further restructured by rearranging duties and job descriptions to eliminate two more positions—GIS Specialist and P&Z Administrative Assistant—which Hueseveldt calculated saved the city an additional $29,000. The third step, implemented a few months ago, created the position of planning administrator, recently filled by Britanny Skelton, with the plan of moving then-city planner, Bill Knight into the position of City Development Director. The city had planned on keeping Knight in that position until his approaching retirement as a transition period. However, since Knight resigned earlier in the month, Hueseveldt said the city is ready to implement the final stage of its reorganization. Hueseveldt plans to advertise in October to hire a city clerk. This will separate the positions of city clerk and city treasurer currently held by Craig Sherman. However, having a full-time clerk will allow both him and Sherman to focus on their respective tasks. It will also give the city the manpower to create an online archive of its records. Hueseveldt said digitizing its records in a manner similar to the Teton County system is part of Mayor Zach Smith’s goal of creating a more transparent government. Coming to the conclusion to hire a full-time city clerk was a collective decision of the city staff, according to Hueseveldt who all greed that it would improve the city’s level of service. Hueseveldt said the total savings to city in staff wages from the reorganization would be $67,441.

104 YEARS Walker replaces Luke on judges bench Bridget Ryder TVN staff Teton County has a new magistrate judge. Judge Jason Walker will take up his post in the countycourt house on January 2. The Seventh Judicial District Magistrates Commission selected Walker on Friday following interviews with Walker and two other candidates. The interviews were open to public observation, though members of the audience could not comment or ask questions. Walker is currently the magistrate judge for Camas County, a position he has held since 2007. He will replace retiring Judge Colin Luke who has been one of the county’s longest sitting judges. Walker completed his undergraduate degree in sports medicine and athletic training at Brigham Young University in 1995. After working for a short stint as a sports trainer, he earned his law degree in 1998 from the University of Idaho in Moscow. During the interviews, each member of the Magistrate’s Commission had the opportunity to ask Walker a question. The questions probed Walker on his personal background and his approach to law. Walker told the commission that his wife, Cindy, grew up in Teton Valley and that moving his family back to the area was one of his principle motivations for applying for the judgeship. Walker also said he spent the summer after he finished law school in Teton Valley running a band of sheep for his brother-in-law in the Packsaddle area. He then worked as a law clerk in Minidoka County and shortly thereafter became a practicing attorney and partner in the law firm of Ling and Robinson. He ran for prosecuting attorney for Minidoka County in 2003 and held that position for four years. Walker told the magistrate’s commission that as county prosecutor he aggressively went after drug dealers, even training with law enforcement personal, but Walker admitted it was dangerous at times. “There were a couple of times I got myself in a tight spot,” Walker said of his close work with drug busts. As a judge Walker still deals with the perpetrators and victims of drug related crimes. Walker told the commissioners that he believes strongly in the role of specialty courts such as drug courts to both save taxpayer money and change people’s lives. “Prison is a great university,” Walkers said for providing education in criminal behavior. He said he has seen specialty courts reduce recidivism and help parents overcome addiction to once again be able to care for their children. He acknowledged, however, the in some cases prison sentences are the right answer. He said custody cases, “deciding who gets the kids,” are the toughest decisions he makes. He said he knows what he decides will have long-term effects on people’s lives. Walker also answered questions about how his current judgeship compares with the work of a judge in Teton County

“When it comes to cases Camas County is a little sleepy,” he said. Teton County naturally has more problems than Camas County because of its denser population, he said, but “every place has its problems.” However, because of the small caseload in Camas County, Walker assisted in other courts in the Fifth Judicial District, including acting as a magistrate judge in Blaine County, where he heard cases from the resort town of Sun Valley. Teton County Commissioner Kathy Rinaldi asked Walker how he would handle being judge in a small town that can seem like a “fish bowl.” Magistrate judges must live in the county where they work. “In a small community you can’t walk away from everybody,” Walker said. Instead Walker said he follows a piece of advice he received early in his judge’s career: “talk about everything but the case.” “We will be involved,” Walker said of Teton County as a community. ”Our kids won’t let us not be involved, but we do have to be careful about our associations.” Walker also applied that to the courtroom. “There’s a lot of cases where I could sit on it and it would be fair,” he said. But “part of upholding the system,” he continued, is being aware of how his personal associations influence the public’s perception of his fairness as a judge. Walker also addressed the changes in law and attitudes towards marijuana and public defenders. He said he supported improved training for public defenders to ensure that the defendant’s legal representation was as qualified as the prosecution. “What matters most is that due process happens,” he said. “It’s not about defending bad guys, it’s about protecting the system.” He said he would have to answer the question about marijuana carefully because of his current cases. He cited the example of Blaine County, which has made marijuana a low priority, as one way to address the issue. But as a judge on the bench, the law is the law. “I follow the law. I don’t make the law,” he said. “We’re not political as judges.” Magistrate judges hear less serious criminal matters, misdemeanors, civil cases where the amount of money involved does not exceed $10,000, and preliminary hearings. They also handle habeas corpus proceedings, cases involving wills and estates, juvenile cases, and domestic relation cases, such as divorce, alimony, child support, and child custody. Magistrates also sit for small claims courts. The Seventh Judicial District includes Teton County, Bingham County, Bonneville County, Butte County, Custer County, Jefferson County, Madison County, Fremont County, Clark County and Lemhi County. The Magistrate’s Commission includes county commissioners. The administrative district judge for the district chairs the committee that consists of representatives from the local governments, attorney’s, citizens and a magistrate judge from with in the district.

Fall River continued from A1__________________________________________________________________________________________________________ flows reached 72.2 megawatts,” said Bryan Case, general manager and CEO for the utility. “It reflects not only a comeback in the economy, but also the current weather conditions. “Primarily that came from irrigation,” Case said of the record power usage. Pumping water out to fields takes a lot of power and in a second consecutive dry year, farmers were using electricity to drench their crops through pipes. But increased demand will also lead to higher rates. Bonneville Power Administration, from whom Fall River buys its power, moved up a level in power usage to tier two electricity which is more expensive. BPA confirmed its rate raise about a month ago. The increased rate also makes up for lost revenue from lower secondary electricity sales, pays to update aging infrastructure, and funds fish and wildlife mitigation costs. BPA sells off its leftover power to more populous regions, but the natural gas boom is decreasing demand for hydroelectricity from the northwest. Overall, Fall River estimates a 5 to 8 percent increase in retail power rates. But even with the increase, electricity has held its value over time. “If you compare it with milk or gasoline, electricity has been a better deal,” Case said. He calculated a comparison between the price of power in 1938 and the current rates. Adjusted to inflation, the base rate of $3.75 in 1939 would today be $62.19. The fee included 40 kilowatt-hours of electricity. The first fee structure then charged in three usage tiers—40-120 kwh per month, 120-200 kwh per month and more than 200 kwh per month. The extra energy became more expensive as usage climbed with inflation-adjusted rates of 38 cents per kwh, 41 cents per kwh and 29 cents per kwh. In 2013 however, Fall River charges a base fee of $36 to cover maintenance costs. Usage rates are also divided into only two categories—under 2,000 kwh per month and over 2,000 kwh per month. The difference is comparatively minuscule—7.1 cents per kwh under 2,000 kwh versus 7.438 cents per kwh for more usage. The rate comparison reflects increased electricity use per person and the increased number of users. “In 1938 you’re talking 38 people,” Case said. “Spreading fixed costs has a lot of efficiency gains.” The nine “mavericks,” as Case called the founding farmers of the electric cooperative, met in 1939. The next year they signed up approximately 40 members and leveraged an $80,000 federal loan through the Rural Electrification Act of 1935 into 67 miles of electric line. The electricity came from the Rocky Mountain Power Company. Two years later those lines extended to Victor, Felt and Driggs. Today, Fall River has 12,000 members using 2,373 miles of line — 222 miles of transmission lines and 2,151 miles of distribution line — 28 substations and four hydroelectric plants. Since 1967 Bonneville Power Administration has been selling Fall River its power. The local cooperative can only generate about 12 percent of what it needs and its small hydroelectric plants are less efficient than BPA’s big ones. More users on each line create the efficiency gains that have outpaced inflation. The next gain will be in a loss of usage through individual conservation. Case anticipates that even though the need for power

will rise with growth, per person usage will decrease. “On conservation, Fall River has spent as much as ever,” Case said. “We’re trying to encourage people to invest, with the economy people are still having a hard time investing.” They hope to achieve a energy conservation of 2 to 5 percent and have dedicated $300,000 to accomplish it. They still have $80,000 to spend. The money goes to cost sharing projects with businesses to install more energy efficient lighting, and working with irrigators to identify leaks and inefficiencies in their irrigation systems. Last year, Valley Lumber replaced the fluorescent light bulbs in its warehouse-sized store in Victor.

“which wakes them up again.” Awakening the dough also starts one of the key chemical reactions of malt and yeast. “For the yeast it’s like a little bug,” Kirchner said of the relationship between the sweet substance and the leavening ingredient. The yeast eats the malt and releases gas during digestion. The gluten strands in the flour then capture those gaseous circles that, in the finished product, appear as the tiny spaces between each crumb of the bagel. Kirchner’s understanding of what is going on with the basic elements he mixes into bagels helps him pump out consistent batches without relying on a book. “It’s the order of things, a temperature of things,” he said in regard to the process and precision of cooking and baking. He cites his Hollandaise sauce as another example of how knowledge of food science unhinges him from recipe books. Rather than playing puppet to a

Get off the

Island By Erinn Butulis Special to the TVN his time of year the flow of life slows down from the chaos of summer, and I always feel a release of pressure and energy that comes with the last of summer. While the season changes into unpredictable and temperamental weather patterns, many people’s energy changes, along with their mood, appetite and daily routine. There are many lasts and firsts that cross paths in transition during late August and through September. The last stretch of working two weeks straight to push through the straggling last bit of tourists, to harvesting and canning the last of garden and farm food to store for winter. The transition from fishing to hunting is in full swing, not to mention the weeks are counting down before all your wood for winter must be collected. This is all stacked up behind the last of huckleberry, strawberry and raspberry freezing season. Summer has always been short, sweetly perfect and intense. Around late August and early September in the midst of an upward climatic spiral the buzz of an invisible wave of travel is on the verge of hitting an epic weather pattern in the soon to be slumbering local towns as mud season is about to hit. When the town slows down and the last of the tourists trickle through in passing, is right about when cabin fever starts to settle in never never land. Or, in essence “I need to get off this island for a minute” energy runs wild up the mountain canyons and wisps past your ear in echo. The wind that kissed your check with the last days of sun kissed warmth in the canyons, says “follow me, for a short adventure off the island”. Over the last decade I have spent my off seasons jumping onto an invisible wave of transient wonder that has brought me to one of the most beautiful webs of natural wonder, friendship and six degrees of separation, created by local people who have talent, dreams and a love for travel. When cabin fever settles in I can share with you my top 11 favorite escapes. However, at the end of the day my home and my heart will always rest within the valley.

Staycation

Explore the West

Chico Hot Springs—After an intense summer work season soak your bones in these 104 degree commercial hot springs. Spend a night in the historic inn, and enjoy Yellowstone surrounding area just around the corner. Breakfast and dinner prove to be the highest quality possible as much of the food comes from the gardens in back, which you can stroll through in leisure.

Camp, hike and explore all of the amazing places you wish you had time to during tourist season, but didn’t have the time to see or do. This includes finding hidden or hike-in hike-out hot spring locations, which are perfect for the cooling temperatures.

Two for one off season specials—Many hotels and dining establishments offer great deals to locals during the off season. Enjoy the best our valley has to offer without the crowds of people.

Moab/Arches National Park/ Canyon lands—In between the distance of a staycation and west coast exploration lies the warmth of the high deserts playground. Moab region has some of the best hiking, mountain biking, camping, climbing and photographers dreams.

Jet packing—If you haven’t gotten enough of an adrenalin rush from hucking yourself down the mountains on a powder day, encountering a bear, and experiencing local rafting then Jet packing is a must on your to-do list. This awesome device can lift you 30 feet into the air going up to 50 mph. Jet pack tourism is popping up around the country. Florida, Hawaii, Southern California and Mexico are some of the leading areas for this sport.

Gum Wall—Seattle and sail — Located in Post Alley under the Park Place Market in Seattle the gum wall is held to be one of the stickiest attractions out there. Deemed an official tourist attraction around 1999, seven years after the first pieces of gum melded around the box office bricks, the wall now reaches 15 feet high and 50 feet long with spectacular depth and brilliant dynamics mimicking a Jackson Pollock masterpiece. The tourist attractions in this area are endless from sailing, to fish markets and the infamous space needle.

Retreats and conferences— Challenge your mind and body in new ways. Attend a conference, retreat center, or yoga farm. Try something new or a study in a field that may interest you. Retreat centers are popping up all over the country offering everything from spiritual to yoga, farming, leadership and educational opportunities. Island continued on B7

Volleyball has decade-best tournament finish Rachael Horne TVN Staff The Teton High School volleyball team had one of their best tournament finishes in over 10 years, taking second overall in the West Jefferson tournament on Saturday. Teton went 6-2 in pool play to advance to the winners bracket. In the first round of the bracket play, Teton defeated Ririe in three games, dropping the first 21-18 but coming back to win 21-19 and 15-8. “We are working hardest on our mental conditioning and learning a lot of skills to help us play up to our potential when there is pressure on,” said Coach Sue Muncaster. Muncaster said that was the difference this week, “pulling out close wins rather than fiz-

zling out when the going gets tough.” Teton defeated Butte in a tri-tournament at North Fremont, winning in four games, 25-22, 25-22, 22-25, 25-18. They lost to North Fremont 16-25, 22-25, 25-27, 15-25. “The girls are improving by leaps and bounds every week,” said Muncaster. “As a team, each player is contributing.” TVN Photo/Rachael Horne Muncaster said physiCoach Sue Muncaster (back row, center) and the girls’ volleyball team had one cal talent and attitudes of of the best tournaments in over a decade last week. the freshman athletes is the best in her memory kill percentage.

Despite record, boys’ soccer shows improvements Rachael Horne TVN Staff The Teton boys’ soccer team is 2-4-1 on the season after picking up one win this week, but losing two. The Redskins got a 5-0 conference win over South Fremont, but fell 3-2 to Snake River and 2-1 at American Falls. Teton had a difficult week, playing four games in five days. “We are pleased to be through the week with no major injuries, said coach Dan Romano. “The win loss record is not our concern at this point. The improvement we are seeing in the team is what we

want. They are putting into play what we are practicing and we are improving each and every day. The team is doing really well at responding to what we ask of them and trying to improve each and every day.” In the game at American Falls, Salvador Velazquez cut into the lead in the 58th minute when he converted an assist from Miguel Ramirez, but it wasn’t enough for Teton. Against South Fremont, Salvador Velazquez had two goals and two assists as Teton topped South Fremont to earn its first 3A District 6 win. Miguel Ramirez, Rey Velazquez and Zach Neuhaus

also scored for Teton, which led 2-0. At Snake River the Panthers jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a goal from Isaac Martinez in the 26th minute. Teton’s Ian Sanabia tied the game in the 57th minute. Less than five minutes later, Sam Merlock scored off a corner to give Snake River a 2-1 lead. The Panthers’ Mark Williams capitalized on a penalty opportunity that proved to be the deciding goal. Teton’s Salvador Velazquez scored in the 73rd minute to narrow the gap to 3-2. Romano said his team needs to work on communication. Teton will host North

Fremont on Thursday. “We are looking for all of our players to be academically eligible and for our entire roster to be ready play even if that means playing for as little as five minutes and it needs to be an impactful five minutes,” said Romano. “The seniors have really showed up this year as well as several of our freshmen. I believe we have some leadership starting to emerge from all levels. We have lost a few players which always hurts the program but we are looking forward and hope that the players will be able to return to the program before the season’s end.”

Over the last several games, Buckstaff said sweeper Heather Smith, midfielder Andee Calderwood and keeper Tayler Arnold have played consistently. Teton plays Wednesday night at home against Snake River, and Thursday night at home against North Fremont. “This week will determine whether we are a contender for the regular season crown and a high seeding in the district tournament or whether we will be a low seed in the district tournament and hope to ‘capture lightning in a bottle’ then,” said Buckstaff.

• On Sept. 22, 1554, Spanish explorer Francisco Vasquez Coronado, his health badly deteriorated from injuries and the toll of his strenuous travels, dies. Coronado explored much of the southwestern United States, but never found the fabled Seven Cities of Gold he had sought for decades, and died believing that he had been a shameful failure. • On Sept. 21, 1780, during the American Revolution, American Gen. Benedict Arnold meets with British Major John Andre to discuss handing over West Point to the British, in return for money and a high position in the British army. The plot was foiled, and Arnold, a former American hero, became synonymous with the word “traitor.” • On Sept. 19, 1827, after a duel turns into an all-out brawl, Jim Bowie kills a banker in Alexandria, La., with an early version of his famous Bowie knife. The actual inventor of the Bowie knife, however, was probably not Jim Bowie, but rather his equally belligerent brother, Rezin Bowie. • On Sept. 16, 1893, the largest land run in history begins with more than 100,000 people pouring into

the Cherokee Strip of Oklahoma to claim valuable land that had once belonged to Native Americans. With a single shot from a pistol, the mad dash began. • On Sept. 20, 1960, California hot rodder Mickey Thompson takes another shot at the world land-speed record. Although he only managed to coax his streamlined Challenger up to about 378 mph on his first run and 368 mph on the second, his speedy trips across the Bonneville Salt Flats won worldwide fame for the car and its driver. • On Sept. 18, 1974, actress Doris Day, one of the biggest box office draws of the 1950s and ‘60s, wins a $22.8 million malpractice suit against her former lawyer. After the death of her third husband, Martin Melcher, in 1968, she discovered that her $20 million in life savings had disappeared. • On Sept. 17, 1983, 20-year-old Vanessa Williams becomes the first black to win the Miss America crown. Williams later launched a successful singing and acting career, including a featured role on the hit television sitcom “Ugly Betty.”

TGR ‘Way of life’ premier Saturday TVN staff

In the trailer for the new Teton Gravity Research movie a skier does a voiceover as clips of powder days and big mountain lines flash on the screen. “It’s no surprise when you follow your passion and live life the way you want to live, you encounter others that are doing the same, kind of reinforcing that it s a righteous path,” the athlete says. That’s the theme behind the newest TGR feature-length ski film, which will have its world premiere Saturday, Sept. 21 at Walk Festival Hall in Teton Village, Wyo. For some, embracing the mountains is not just part of life—it’s a way of life. The search for snow shapes not only how they approach these peaks, but also how they approach the world. And whether athletes spend their days dropping first descents in Alaska, lapping the local mountain, or training for the Olympics, they’re part of a community built around a shared passion. The bonds that form from this community transcend continents and cultures, transforming strangers into friends. After all, a smile on a powder day needs no translation. The TGR team set out on a mission to find snow’s most hallowed ground, and experience a brotherhood that has no language and knows no boundaries. Shot during the winter of 2013, “Way of Life” takes you on a journey to the mountains with today’s top athletes. With stunning imagery created with GSS, Red Digital Cinema and the Sony Action Cam, this film explores the origins of skiing in Austria, the search for original

lines in Alaska from TGR’s Fantasy Camp, and the U.S. Freeskiing Team’s quest for Olympic gold. The adventure also leads athletes to the rugged terrain of Jackson Hole and the Tetons, as well as the backcountry of British Columbia. It all starts with beers from Snake River Brewing Co. starting at 3:30 p.m. in Teton Village (hint: they’re free til the kegs blow!). Enjoy live music, lawn games, and a few surprises in between. This year, we have more swag than ever to throw your way, thanks to Sony, Atomic, The North Face, Volkl and many, many more. And not to be missed is the raging after-party at the Mangy Moose featuring live music and special guests. All net proceeds from this year’s premiere benefit the JHSC Freeride Program, Friends of the Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center, and The Doug Coombs Foundation.

EXPERT

When buying a home, what are the most important factors/questions to consider? I think that depends on what you are buying, and what stage of your life you are in. First time home buyers should ask themselves about future resale. Investors should look at holding costs, cap rates, as well as current and future liquidity in the event another investment opportunity comes available that is more appealing. Retirees might ask themselves about floor plans, access, and running costs. Retirees may even consider chatting with a mortgage broker in regards to a reverse mortgage or similar down the road. If any of the above are financing, they should probably seek mortgage advice. Interest rates are beginning to rise

as we all know, but there are some very attractive adjustable rate mortgages with caps that Buyers should know about. There are also several online resources where Buyer’s can research the market. Historically, the Teton Valley area has been slightly behind the National trends. That was the case as the housing market began to collapse, and that is again the case as it recovers. Keeping an eye on national news can prepare local Buyers for what is likely to come. Realtor.com offers several good research tools, check out realtor.com/news. We also provide updates on our website at www.tetonvalleyrealty.com/blog.

Exercising is part of the preparedness cycle, which is a continuing process that we utilize to constantly improve our response activities.” What should the public do? • Pay attention to warning signs. • Watch out for response vehicles. • Do not panic, this is not a real event.
