An RV drives through avalanche debris Sunday on Highway 22 at the base of Glory Bowl on Teton Pass. The artery
between Jackson Hole and Teton Valley, Idaho, was closed for four and a half days due to dangerous avalanche
conditions. Mitigation efforts by the Wyoming Department of Transportation set off a slide that deposited more
than 15 feet of snow onto the highway. See page 25A for story on how slides impacted area roadways.

Despite nearly nine hours of dis-

county elected officials still havent set
the slate for the specific purpose excise
tax election scheduled for May.
And time is quickly running out.
Teton County Clerk Sherry Daigle
reminded the Teton County Board of
County Commissioners on Monday
that the ballot needs to be final be-
fore March 1, giving electeds just two
weeks to decide on projects.
While the boards joint meeting with
the Jackson Town Council resulted in
preliminary approval of approximately
$40 million worth of projects, the body
of 10 is still struggling to decide if an-
other five projects totaling close to $40
million will make the cut.
Two more meetings have been set
to discuss projects before the process
wraps up. The next is Feb. 22 starting

Tough love aided drug court grad
Job and sober roommates
helped man on journey
to a more satisfying life.
By Emily Mieure
After two years in Teton Countys
Court Supervised Treatment program,
a Jackson man whos struggled with de-
pression and addiction his whole life has
found happiness and sobriety.
Everything is so different now than it
ever has been in my entire life, 21-year-
old Andrew Shorts said.
The Jackson native will graduate from
the treatment program today in front of
family, friends, treatment professionals
and court officials.
Theyre going to make your life really
tough, but the goal of drug court is to give
you the tools to build your own life thats
worth living, Shorts said.
Shorts beams with pride when he
talks about his life now. As a concierge at
a downtown hotel, he gets to talk to peo-
ple on a daily basis, which is rewarding.
I love working with people and inter-
acting with people, Shorts said.
But it hasnt been an easy road.
I was depressed all the way from 8
years old to 20 years old, he said.
Shorts said he got drunk for the first
time when he was 14.
It was kind of a weird experience, but
I didnt enjoy it that much, Shorts said.
A few weeks later he smoked pot
with a friend, and thats when his drug
addiction started.
It was fantastic, Shorts said. I loved He was sentenced to rehab in Casper and
that.
He bounced from his moms house to
his dads house to group homes, a cycle
that eventually led to repeated arrests
and a criminal record. He tried any
drugs he could get his hands on.
We would go on two-day trips to
Denver to do cocaine and ride roller
coasters, he said.
Before Shorts turned 18 his parents
let the state take custody of him, filing
for a child in need of supervision.
Shorts lived at the Van Vleck House
after that and got a job taking photos of
whitewater rafters on the Snake River.
That was my first experience work-

I was kind of at a peak, Shorts said.

got kicked out for getting high.
During his first drug court sentence
in Teton County, Shorts was charged
with his first felony. At that point he was
selling and doing drugs more than ever.
After spending 20 days in jail he begged
the court for another chance.
A judge granted it and Shorts moved
in with his mother, stepfather and two
half siblings. He landed a job at the air-
port and started a 12-step program.
I did it out of desperation because I
didnt want to be at my moms house,
Shorts said. Its not cool to be 20 living
in your moms attic.
He soon moved in with roommates,
which he considers a turning point.

E D I T O R I A L

Let the voters

decide
S
ince Teton County voters rejected a 1 per-
cent sales tax hike on Nov. 8 to pay for af-
fordable housing and transportation proj-
ects, town and county officials have turned to
the 1 percent specific purpose excise tax.
Its a fine way to fund projects like affordable
housing, public facilities, infrastructure im-
provements, buses, schools and the like. Espe-
cially since its widely known that visitors pay
40 percent or more of the tax money collected. In
fact, Teton County voters have been approving
SPET proposals for decades.
But over the past couple of months the list
of would-be SPET-funded needs and wants has
grown beyond housing and transit to 12 items
totaling about $80 million. It includes a $6.8
million project to improve and build fire sta-
tions. Theres nearly $2.5 million requested for
Rec Center upgrades and repairs. Theres about
$3.5 million for sidewalks, pathways and the
Wilson boat ramp (see page 22A).
Theres also a request from St. Johns Medical
Center for $17 million for an expanded and much
needed Living Center the hospital would chip
in the another $17 million and close to $10

million for Central Wyoming College-Jackson to
build a home of its own in West Jackson.
Theres not a one of these projects that does
not have merits and that does not deserve to be
on the May SPET ballot. All of them are wor-
thy. Some might argue that one is more worthy
or urgent than another, but so far after some
nine hours of debate and discussion, with maybe
another six scheduled town and county offi-
cials have not been able to narrow the list down
to the $40 million to $50 million that four years
of 1 percent SPET collections would pay for. And
time is running out: They have to solidify their
choices and approve ballot language by March 1
in order to hold a May 2 election.
Four years has traditionally been about the
term of a SPET ballot. Its long enough to gener-
ate real money, but not so long a commitment
that the physical, social or political complexion
of Jackson Hole would dramatically change. Go-
ing to six or seven or eight years to pay for $80
million in projects invokes a bit of queasiness.
The vetting by elected officials is admirable.
But at this stage they appear to be second-guess-
ing the public power of voting. The simplest
course is to put all the projects on the ballot.
The entities behind each one will then have
two months to make their pitches, and if voters
want housing, theyll vote for housing. If they
want a Living Center, they will vote for a Liv-
ing Center. If they want $80 million in projects,
they can approve $80 million. If they want $40
million, they will approve $40 million.
The beauty of the SPET is that officials only
have to deem a project worthy. Then the citizens
give them the thumbs up or the thumbs down.
Lets send the list to the voters.

Amazing linemen
I was an equipment operator and the only non-
utility worker on the Teton Village power line re-
pair last week. I was working for Trees Inc., plowing
snow at the Village the night the power line blew
over. Shortly after, Lower Valley Energy hired a
Trees Inc. excavator to help with the repair.
I was so impressed with+ such a large group of
linemen from outside the area working together to ac-
complish a very large task so quickly and safely. What
stood out for me was that the local management was
not only directing tasks, not from the seats of their
pickups but in the snow and the rain and mud, work-
ing directly with crews and helping any way they
could in the elements. They did not hire a catering
company but acquired the food, hot coffee, etc., and
served the crew with in-house friendly employees. I
was met with a warm thank you every time I took
a break to recharge. Even the general manager was
out supporting and thanking the out-of-town lineman
and myself for all the hard work in miserable condi-
tions. I worked hard, but as a equipment operator I
had the luxury of a cab and did not have to fight the
elements, unlike those linemen. I was proud to be in-
volved with this group of professionals. The Jackson
residents need to know that they have an amazing
utility company that provides them with electricity.
Pete Linville

Join the team
Last week Jackson Hole had a great opportunity. I
hope you made the best of it. The linemen who came
and helped Lower Valley Energy are the best exam-
ple of this. When you join a team, even if you have
to work in nasty weather and put in long hours, if it
makes a huge difference for a large group of apprecia-
tive people life doesnt get better than that.
I hope you as an individual helped out a neighbor
by shoveling their sidewalk, driveway or even their
roof. I hope you got to spend an evening in the glow
of a kerosene lamp or Coleman lantern telling stories
and making memories with your family. I hope your
camp stove and coffee pot wasnt behind a door with 4
feet of snow in front of it like mine was.
No doubt there will be those who say that when
the valley is inaccessible it indicates we need more.
I totally agree: We need more people working with
their neighbors, we need more self-reliance and we
need to be more prepared.
I want to thank a nameless truck driver. Last
Monday as the storm approached I was driving
home from Victor, Idaho. I got stuck in the muck on
the right side of the road. Having no shovel, all I
could do was take out the tow rope I was carrying
and start to attach it to the front of my Subaru. As I
was doing this a truck pulled over and backed up so
I could slip the rope over the trailer hitch. He pulled
me out and waited while I unhooked the rope and

Living Center needed
Town and county electeds are in the
throes of deciding which of many proj-
ects will ultimately make the cut for
the May 2017 specific purpose excise
tax initiatives. Goals to fulfill housing
projects in our community rank high
among priorities, but some folks have
been left out of this equation our
most vulnerable seniors.
Electeds need to triage the list of
priorities to include a new nursing
home as a housing priority on the
SPET ballot and remain within a $50
million budget.
Our only nursing home in Jackson,
St. Johns Living Center, was built in
the 1980s. Since then only modest re-
modeling has been done. I feel very
lucky to have my 90-year-old mother
reside at the Living Center, and I can
attest to the loving and professional
care she receives every day. But I
also can tell you firsthand, it is time
for a new nursing home that better
serves this population.
Foremost, the center does not
have a memory unit to provide care
for many dementia or Alzheimers
residents. These seniors must be dis-
placed to other cities, separated from
their loved ones and their Jackson
surroundings. Currently, most rooms
are shared, with little privacy. Show-
ers are down the hall, and communi-
ty spaces serve as both dining rooms
and group activities areas.
Designs for a new Living Center
include a special wing for memory
care, all private rooms with showers,
spaces for visiting with family, small-
er dining rooms and larger separate
spaces for activity gatherings. These
are current best practices for nursing
facilities across the country.
Electeds need to commit funding
for a new nursing home to be includ-
ed in the SPET initiatives. Voters
will need to support the SPET and
vote yes to help build a new Living
Center so that we may best serve our
most vulnerable seniors. Lets give
our seniors dignity and the oppor-
tunity to remain in Jackson close to
their loved ones despite their diagno-
sis or conditions. This triage of SPET
priorities will give new life to those
who need it most.
Linda Aurelio
Jackson
Hospital SPET? No
The hospital has been crowing over
its five-star Medicare rating for the
Living Center, but just six months
later regulators have begun to ask
questions about the level of care avail-
able. It has been marketing itself as
a five-star nursing home, even though
it was aware that regulators might
begin to impose consequences or even
close the center.
If you look further into the five-
star rating (Medicare.gov) you will
see that the Living Center received
only a three-star rating as to qual-
ity measures. If you read the mea-
sures it appears to me that most
of them are directly related to care

from staff (fall risk, losing mobility
while at the center, suffering from
pressure ulcers, being overmedi-
cated). Pat Weber, retired director
of the Living Center, said her least
favorite part of her job was worry-
ing about finding nursing staff to
fill positions.
Unfortunately, new construction
does not fix staffing problems. Where
is the report from the regulators?
Just what are their concerns? Do the
concerns actually result from the fa-
cility or from staffing problems?
In the actual SPET application
the reference is repeatedly housing
for seniors. The community already
has independent living and assisted-
living housing for seniors. What is
needed from the hospital is memory
care support, rehabilitation facilities
and hospice care, yet it has designed
the project as though it is assisted
living.
Private bathing facilities are inef-
ficient if people need assistance with
bathing. Accessible kitchens may not
be the best idea for patients suffering
from dementia. If its short term, why
the need to structure as a long-term

Yes, its very enticing to think that
our chronically ill elders can move
into a household model, but is that
truly focusing on the actual needs
of these patients? We do not need a
housing for seniors project; we need
a nursing care facility for patients
who require nursing care outside the
hospital.
A poorly designed facility that
faces staffing problems will result in
an even larger deficit that must be
covered by revenue generating de-
partments. Both the 2004 and 2009
SPET applications were severely
flawed, resulting in wasted taxpayer
money and higher operating costs for
the hospital. Lets ask the hospital to
work a little harder to get this one
right.

Planners envision a revamped process for the next step in town rezoning.
Next rezoning round
to have a new process
Better public
engagement seen as
solution to drawn-out,
contentious process.
By John Spina
Rezoning is like rehab for a city. Its
going to be painfully long but the first
step is admitting theres a problem.
And, following a nearly four-year
process of rezoning District 2 in down-
town Jackson, the town of Jackson
Planning Department is determined to
make the planned rezoning of the rest
of town a much more purposeful and
ultimately a smoother process.
Step one is better identifying the
problem.
In looking back at these processes,
too often we would jump right into so-
lutions or right into trying to imple-
ment solutions before we actually have
agreed consensus or at least agreement
by the elected officials of what were
trying to solve, Town and County Plan-
ning Director Tyler Sinclair said.
If the goal of town zoning is to find
areas for increased density in the town,
thats a clear identifiable goal that we
can keep coming back to, he said. If
the goal of town zoning is to reaffirm or
protect neighborhoods that currently
exist and provide for no change, thats
probably a very different goal.
Housing and transportation have
been identified as the community pri-
orities after the Nov. 8 election when
voters rejected a 1 percent general sales
tax that would have provided upwards
of $12 million for housing and transpor-
tation projects each year. But several
members of the council questioned if
the community actually believed those
were the most important issues facing
Jackson.
I find myself confused by our com-
munity these days, Councilor Don
Frank said following the election. We
just had our general revenue [sales tax]
defeated, so on one hand were being
asked to address transportation and
housing problems. On the other hand
were not afforded the funds to address
them.
More coordinated comment
The new process hinges on a more
coordinated and robust system of pub-
lic comment. During the process of
rezoning District 2 public comment
was continually taken throughout the
decision-making process. New infor-
mation was added late, and it was of-
ten felt that the last and loudest public
speaker received an unfair amount of
attention.
As a way to better organize it the
town planning department suggested
looking at each topic town zoning,
parking, housing land development
regulations, housing department regu-

lations and natural resources land de-
velopment regulations as separate
items, but moving them through the
process simultaneously.
Most importantly, all public com-
ment would be taken early on in the
process to help identify problems and
confine further council discussion to
that topic.
The best way to look at it is five dif-
ferent tables at a workshop, Sinclair
said. Someone can come comment on
each issue separately without having
to come to five different meetings. In
order to alleviate challenges at the end
we dont want people coming in late and
reacting to a bill. Making changes late
in the process has not served anyone
well.
As currently scheduled, public com-
ment on all five topics would take place
in May. During July, August and early
September the council would identify
and debate possible solutions.
Next winter town staff would work
to draft solutions into ordinances that
would ideally be presented for first
reading in spring 2018.
The exact process has yet to be set in
stone, but the town is searching for an
outside consultant to help coordinate
and design it.
Neighborhood meetings
What is known is that the conver-
sation about rezoning the rest of town
and updating LDRs will begin with a
discussion of adding density to areas
identified in the comprehensive plans
as transitional largely District 3 and
District 4.
From there the town will look at dif-
ferent areas ripe for increased density
allowances, though much of that con-
versation will be determined by public
comment early in the process to better
define exactly what issues the commu-
nity supports or doesnt support.
To better engage the public the plan-
ning staff has looked at several options.
The first and most obvious option is
to hold meetings designated for public
comment with convenient times in the
evening. The planning department also
said it received a lot of comments re-
questing more neighborhood meetings,
when the council would visit an area in
question to discuss an issue on location
a tactic used during the discussion of
accessory residential units.
The town has also looked at digital
options for people to chime in by mak-
ing better use of social media or online
questionnaires.
Weve seen what happened during
the process of rezoning District 2, the
rural LDRs in the county, the comp plan
and with ARUs, Sinclair said. Were
making a concerted effort to get results
on schedule, on track and make sure
people feel listened to and engaged.

Two mule deer search for food Saturday low in the Cache Creek drainage
in East Jackson. Though tough winter conditions have pushed many
ungulates lower than their usual winter range, the Wyoming Game and Fish
Department does not plan on implementing any emergency feeding.
Wildlife experts say
dont feed animals
To help deer and other
critters, drive slowly
and leash dogs.
By Mike Koshmrl
Going into a doozy of a winter
storm system that dropped 7 1/2 feet
of snow in Rendezvous Bowl last
week and set up the valley snowpack
like concrete, there were plenty of in-
dications Jackson Holes wildlife was
already under duress.
Road crews in the month of January
picked up 40 mule deer carcasses off a
12-mile stretch of Highway 89 south
of Jackson, a roadkill rate up 400 per-
cent from the year before. Young of
the year deer and elk have shown up
dead in places like Cache Creek, hav-
ing succumbed to starvation. And un-
gulates generally were being pushed
downhill out of their normal winter
ranges, and oftentimes onto the valley
floor and among people and livestock
at subdivisions and ranches.
The concern was significant enough
to prompt managers and nongovern-
mental organizations to convene a
meeting about whats happening with
wildlife.
Chris Colligan, wildlife program co-
ordinator for the Greater Yellowstone
Coalition, reminded people that wild-
life dying in big numbers in the winter
is a normal, healthy phenomenon.
We have this assumption that wild-
life should be maintained at a stable
objective level that we set somewhat
arbitrarily, Colligan said. Popula-
tions fluctuate. ... I think we want to
do everything we can to reduce what
those human impacts are that are go-
ing to exacerbate mortality, but winter
mortality is a natural function.
The severe winter has some less-
obvious benefits for wildlife and the
environment, too, he said. Moose, a
species thats cold-specialized, could
have reduced tick infestations. Veg-
etation that grows on heavily browsed
winter range could have a reprieve
and regenerate.
The day before managers and ac-
tivists gathered in Jackson, Wyoming
Game and Fish Department officials
broadcasted an online town hall-
style meeting from Cheyenne to go
over some of the same concerns.
Wildlife in the departments Jack-
son Region, Chief Game Warden Bri-
an Nesvik said, are experiencing an
extremely high snowpack. Averaged
across the Snake River watershed, the
snowpack on Tuesday was 153 per-
cent of the norm. Some areas, like the
Wyoming and Salt Ranges, are about
double the heft of average.
RYAN DORGAN / NEWS&GUIDE
We do expect that those deer that
havent left that area are going to be
susceptible to higher mortality rates
than we would see in a normal win-
ter, Nesvik said. The good thing
about a lot of the wildlife in Jackson
Hole is that they do leave in the win-
ter, and so a lot of the deer have mi-
grated either south or to the east over
to the other side of the Greater Yel-
lowstone Ecosystem.
Emergency feeding of deer and an-
telope, Game and Fish has resolved,
isnt in the plans this winter. Deer
have specialized diets and carry di-
gestive bacteria that fluctuate with
the seasons, and this time of year is
geared toward processing woody veg-
etation, not nutrient-rich grain or
hay, Deputy Chief of Wildlife Doug
Brimeyer said.
Rapid changes to their diet can
lead to chemistry changes in their
stomach, Brimeyer said, and they
can actually be poisoned from cer-
tain types of food that theyre given
in the wintertime if its changed too
rapidly.
Managers also urged tolerance
and patience with wildlife in neigh-
borhoods. Backyard feeding, commis-
sioner Paul Vogelheim reminded, is
illegal in Teton County.
Dog walkers are advised to always
have a leash on hand, Bridger-Teton
National Forest winter patroller Les-
ley Williams-Gomez said. Its prob-
ably a good idea, she said, to carry
bear spray year-round because of the
potential for altercations with carni-
vores or species like moose, which can
be hesitant to move off of compacted
surfaces like trails.
Wyoming Department of Transpor-
tation District Engineer Keith Comp-
ton explained at the Jackson meeting
why a speed limit reduction wasnt
adopted on South Highway 89, where
wildlife-vehicle collisions have run
rampant this winter.
A speed limit sign, in and of it-
self, has relatively no effect on driver
speed, Compton said.
The relationship, he said, is well
substantiated, including on Highway
390, where motorists largely ignore
the lower, 35 mph nighttime speed
limit.
Based on our information, more
than 90 percent of motorists exceed
that by at least 10 miles an hour,
Compton said. People drive what
they are comfortable driving.
Our goal, he said, is to change
driver behavior.

Valley to get separate dual-immersion school
Trustees hope
to decide on location
by summer.
By Kylie Mohr
Elementary school prin-
cipals say theyre ready to
start putting the wheels in
motion for a dual school.
After months of delibera-
tion the Teton County School
District No. 1 Board of
Trustees unanimously voted
last week to approve an el-
ementary school for the dual
immersion program.
Whether the dual school
starting in 2018-19 will be
Colter, Jackson or Munger
once it is built is yet to be
determined.
Dual immersion mean-
ing equal numbers of native
Spanish speakers and Eng-
lish speakers share a class-
room and learn half the day
in each language is a pro-
gram the district introduced
in 2009.
Jackson Elementary
School Principal Scott East-
man said his reaction was
tempered because not every-
one in the community is hap-
py with the boards choice.
I know that many of the
educators in our building
and at Colter were very hap-
py with the board of trust-
ees decision on Feb. 8, he
told staff in an email. At
the same time, I know that
there are just as many peo-
ple, if not more, who are dis-
heartened by the decision.
Jennyfer Hernandez Bedolla looks to a classmate while playing a language game during the
English language arts portion of April Repinskis first-grade dual immersion class at Jackson
Elementary School. The Teton County School District No. 1 Board of Trustees voted to separate
the dual program and traditional classes into their own schools.
There shouldnt be win-
ners and losers in this situ-
ation, but the passion and
emotion behind both sides
of the debate suggest the op-
posite, he wrote. Just as
many of us felt like our voic-
es werent heard when the
initial school model decision
was made, there are peo-
ple who favored the strand
model now saying the same
thing.
Eastman thanked staff
members in advance for their
humility and empathy as
JACKSON HOLE NEWS&GUIDE, Wednesday, February 15, 2017 - 9A
we work to bridge the divide
that has developed over the
past year around this issue.
Bo Miller, the principal of
Colter Elementary School,
said he is pleased with how
the board members came
to their decision and hopes
theyll do the same when it
comes to choosing a location.
Im proud of the board,
Miller said. They made a
tough call that was informed
by a lot of data.
Many elementary school
teachers in the district
RYAN DORGAN / NEWS&GUIDE FILE
voiced their support for
keeping programs together
in their entirety to increase
collaboration and improve
student achievement. Some
were surprised by last
weeks decision.
I think nobody really
knew what to expect lead-
ing up to it, said Christina
Montiel, a Spanish teach-
er at Jackson Elementary
School. We were pretty
shocked that it was a unani-
mous vote. Many teachers
are happy with the outcome
because they genuinely be-
lieve that this model will
provide all students with
more opportunities for aca-
demic success.
Six of the seven school
board members were pres-
ent for the vote on Feb. 8,
with Vice Chairman Janine
Bay Teske absent.
First-grade dual immer-
sion teacher Heidi Owens
said she felt the board made
a decision that best services
all students.
Listening to teachers
voice similar opinions might
have swayed some board
members.
I have been convinced
by our staff that this what
will be best for all students,
said Kate Mead, chairwom-
an of the school board. And
I dont ever want to be ac-
cused of not listening to
them, because I do.
In educators jargon the
choice is technically to move
from a strand model in
which classes for both the
dual and the traditional
program are found in each
school to a whole school
model, where the programs
are separated and each has
its own building.
Board members said they
believed the decision will be
best for all children.
I dont see this as an
amazing opportunity for a
whole school. I see it as an
amazing opportunity for
three whole schools, Trust-
ee Betsy Carlin said.

SAR conference room

Rescuers need more space
for lifesaving operations.
By Emily Mieure
Teton County Sheriff Jim Whalen
is requesting county officials ap-
prove a plan to add 800 square feet
of much needed conference space
to the Teton County Search and Res-
cue building on Batch Plant Road.
The SAR building, while mostly
serving its original intended pur-
pose, has become inadequate in oth-
er areas and is in need of some im-
provements, Whalen said during a
Feb. 6 presentation to Teton County
Board of County Commissioners.
Over the course of numerous
SAR missions where the building
serves as the command post, weve
discovered we are in dire need of a
conference room, Whalen said. I
have witnessed this need and have
personally experienced it when Ive
been part of incident command.
When the building was con-
structed seven years ago it was
paid for through private search
and rescue money and State Loan
and Investment Board funds.
The $1.8 million facility was de-
signed to house search and res-
cue equipment, have training ca-

and other district administrators
will now gather additional informa-
tion so board members can make
the most informed decision possi-
ble on the best location for the dual
school.
Mead said they hope to finalize
the location by the end of the school
year. She also said the reconfigura-
tion of town elementary schools to
both be kindergarten through fifth
grade is still on track and is going
ahead as planned for the 2017-18
school year.
Some school board members
changed their minds about the dual
school after months of deliberation.
Mead, who said outright that she
was not a supporter of the whole
school model, came around despite
having reservations about the po-
tential divisiveness of the decision.
Trustee Joe Larrow was also a bit
hesitant, voicing his desire to create
a plan for other language opportu-
nities for children in traditional dis-
trict classes. He hopes that by imple-
menting more robust opportunities
across the district, the schism
between kids that have had this
amazing opportunity to participate
in this incredible program and those
who havent might narrow.
Many parents were vocal in their
opposition to creating a separate
school for the dual program, which
requires a lottery system to get in.
Some see separating the program
further into its own school as prefer-
ential treatment.
Other parents, especially those
who live near Colter in the Cotton-
wood area, worry that their children
might have to be bused to another
location. Many voiced their fears
about losing the chance for their
children to attend a neighborhood
school.

Nominations sought
for historical awards
Board hopes to honor
individuals, projects.
By Richard Anderson
The Teton County Historic Pres-
ervation Board has extended the
deadline to nominate historically
significant buildings and significant
preservationists by a week.
Structures will be recognized
with a plaque that notes their spe-
cial place in the history of the com-
munity.
People will be recognized with the
Jesse OConnor Award. The award,
created in 2015, is named for a long-
time preservation board member
who is credited with helping to save
dozens of buildings.
It is for an individual or a project
that has been instrumental in pre-
serving historic structures and be-
ing good stewards, said Katherine
Wonson, board president.
Past recipients include Carole
Hofley, recognized for her work with
the White Grass Dude Ranch; Kurt
Dubbe, who has advocated state-
wide for preservation; and Joe Al-
bright and Marcia Kunstel, owners
of Flat Creek Ranch.
It was a multimillion-dollar ef-
fort, Wonson said of the Flat Creek
project, which restored the early
20th-century ranch made famous by
Cissy Patterson. They did an amaz-
ing job.
The boards historic property
plaque program acknowledges im-
portant structures that have sur-
vived for 50 or more years.
Walk around Town Square and
youll see them, Wonson said.
Plaques offer a bit of information
about when the building was built
and why it is of significance.
They tell the story of our past,
Wonson said. We like to see them
well taken care of.
To date the board has issued 105
plaques, Wonson said, and it is look-
ing to give out five to seven more
this year.
Our board is trying to go back
and do the research, she said. Of

Teton Village digs out after crushing storm

Severe weather caused
chaos, knocked out
power, closed roads.
By Melissa Cassutt

Rob Wallace didnt hear anything

when the storm dragged down the steel
transmission poles along Highway 390.
The wind was howling and snow
was blowing: a wild ending to what had
been an epic day of skiing at Jackson
Hole Mountain Resort. But the weather
turned eerie as night fell, as those driv-
ing home toward Teton Village watched
power lines sway until they snapped,
crumpling a line of 75-foot poles on the
east side of the road.
Were in sort of a wind shadow so we
didnt get the full brunt of the burst,
Wallace said. But you could tell what
was going on with the trees shaking.
And then it just went dark.
Power to Teton Village was cut
around 6:30 p.m. Feb. 7, blackening the
normally bustling tourist hub. The Vil-
lage remained under candlelight and
the buzz of generators for four days, un-
til power was fully restored Saturday to
approximately 4,000 customers.
In Lower Valleys 80-year history,
this is the worst disaster weve ever
had, Lower Valley Energy President
and CEO Jim Webb told the Teton RYAN DORGAN/JACKSON HOLE DAILY

County Board of County Commission-
ers last Friday. This is the worst by far.
The winter storm warning that went
into effect the afternoon of Feb. 6 came
only a few hours before a colossal roof
collapse, prompting the evacuation of
Sears, Axis Gymnastics and Sports
Academy and Hole Bowl.
The slow-progressing collapse in
the Sears building led to the roof sag-
ging on top of the merchandise shelving,
about 5 feet from the ground, said Jack-
son Hole Fire/EMS Interim Fire Chief
Mike Moyer in an update to the county
commission the following morning.
That same morning Feb. 7 the
Wyoming Department of Transporta-
tion closed Teton Pass, a thoroughfare
that remained shut until the follow-
ing Saturday. The closure kicked off a
week of battling an unstable snowpack
around the county and rolling closures
of Hoback and Snake River canyons.
More than 50 avalanches were tallied
in the two canyons two major arter-
ies in and out of the community over
the past week, WYDOT spokeswoman
Stephanie Harsha said (see page 25).
The closures complicated Lower Val-
leys attempt to restore power, as crews
from adjacent communities came to
help linemen and rushed to haul mate-
rials into Jackson Hole during the can-
yons intermittent openings. Rain and
warm temperatures created flooding.

Snowstorm might have cost the Hole $5M

Tempest closes
access to Jackson,
underscoring
housing issue.
By John Spina
Jerry Blann, president and
CEO of Jackson Hole Moun-
tain Resort, was having dinner
at Calico Italian Restaurant
when the texts started.
Then service went out on his
phone, and he knew there was
going to be a serious problem.
The information was
sketchy to start, Blann said.
It took a while to settle in, but
after an hour or an hour and a
half I started to understand the
full magnitude of the situation.
This was bigger than we ex-
pected.
With 17 power poles down
on Highway 390, Blann was
forced to close the Jackson Hole
Mountain Resort for five days,
emptying all eight hotels in
Teton Village and hundreds of
homes in the area.
The Jackson Hole Chamber
of Commerce estimated 1,500
rentable units were deserted.
According to an early esti-
mate by the Teton Village As-
sociation, the power outage
cost businesses in the Village
over $5 million in lost revenue
and inventory $2.5 million of
which came from the Jackson
Hole Mountain Resort.
It was a tough five days,
Blann said. While we werent
bringing in revenue we were
also taking on a lot of expenses.
But when these kind of events
happen thats when people step
up.
After surveying the avail-
able workforce living on the
Wyoming side of Teton Pass,
ski patrol began doing ava-
lanche control, cat drivers went
to work digging out the downed
power lines and marketing
teams worked around the clock
to ease visitors worries and
find them alternative lodging.
Melissa Turley, director of
the Teton Village Association,
noted the financial losses in the
Village will hit statewide.
We only have a few short
months to collect sales and
lodging tax revenue, Turley
said. With the state govern-
ment funding shortages we
need every penny we can get.
As revenues from coal, oil
and gas extraction continued to
decline this year, tourism has
become a bigger piece of the
state economy. Shared state
revenue with the town of Jack-
son was reduced by more than
$1.5 million for fiscal year 2017.
With an 8 percent sales tax
in the Village and a 2 percent
lodging tax, Turley estimated
roughly $400,000 to $500,000
in tax revenue was lost last
week.
Jackson boomed
Fortunately, according to
several hotels and the Cham-
ber of Commerce, many guests
staying in the Village decided
to continue their stay in town.
According to the Chamber
of Commerces Destimetrics
report, occupancy for Saturday
was predicted at 82 percent.
With Teton Villages eight ho-
tels closed and some 4,000 resi-
dents without power, the town
filled up quickly.
This particular week we did
pretty darn well, said Clarene
Law, owner of the Antler Motel,
who offered discounted rates.
We had a lot of employees
[stay at the motel] who couldnt
get home and distressed travel-
Guests at Snake River Lodge and Spa wait for taxis to town Feb. 8 following a storm that
knocked out power to Teton Village. Medical professionals from around the world were in

begin the morning after the storm.
ers from the Village.
With everybody in town,
Jackson businesses that were
able to remain open throughout
the storm cycle were booming.
Business has been robust at
the bar and restaurant, said
Jim Waldrop, general manger
for The Wort Hotel. People
were looking for alternative ac-
tivities with the resort closed.
Ryan Stanley, general man-
ger of the Snow King Mountain
Resort, reported four times as
many skiers as a normal Sat-
urday and similarly high num-
bers for the tubing park and
mountain coaster.
The chamber tried to deter-
mine how much of the $5 mil-
lion lost in the Village trickled
into town, but it has yet to
come up with a number.
Its a difficult number to put
our finger on, but Id say at the
very least 20 percent of that
came to town, said Joe Made-
ra, director of the Chamber of
Commerce. The interesting
question is how many cancella-
tions there were because of the
storm. The consensus is that in
the long term there was a fair
amount of business lost for this
week. Its going to take about
30 days to shake things out and
see for sure, but it was substan-
tial enough to justify additional
messaging [from the Travel
and Tourism Board].
Most reservations held
Tyler Barker, general man-
ager of the Teton Mountain
Lodge and Hotel Terra, said
that while they experienced
some cancellations the major-
ity of reservations were kept.
In addition he reported several
people calling to inquire about
rooms because of the national
attention given to the storm,
which dropped 7 1/2 feet of
snow in Rendezvous Bowl.
Its a negative financial im-
pact in short term, for sure,
Barker said. Guests were
pretty understanding. All stays
for Monday and Tuesday are
scheduled to arrive. We had a
few cancellations later in the
week, but the majority are still
really wanting to come.
Turley said it will be nice to
have a busy weekend follow-
ing the closures, especially for
employees who missed a week
of tips, but she said businesses
expected Presidents Day week-
end to be one of the busiest of
the year.
Ensuring the town and
mountain were safe for visitors

ing holiday weekend was made
possible by the towns ability to
absorb an influx of guests and
to keep them happy. Of course
none of that would be possible
without the work of the public
servants to get everything back
online.
With access to Jackson Hole
closed Thursday by weather,
avalanches and avalanche
control, private businesses
and public services struggled
to staff key positions with-
out exhausting the available
workforce a growing area of
concern as ever more workers
move to satellite communities
in Alpine, Victor and Driggs.
About 75 percent of our em-
ployees live outside of town,
Teton County Sheriff Jim Wha-
len said. The people we had
here to work, we soon exhaust-
ed. You cant have people sleep-
walking around town carrying
guns. We started thinking of
taking drastic measures and
using the search and rescue
helicopter to ferry employees to
and from work.
St. Johns Medical Center
ran into similar problems and
even considered chartering a
flight to resupply the hospital.
Every access point to Jack-
son was closed, said Paul
Beaupre, CEO of St. Johns
said. About 35 percent of our
workforce does not live in Jack-
son. We have people here
that cant get back home. We
actually open up housing for
them at the Hitching Post or
open patient rooms, and we put
them up, we feed them. Theres
significant cost but we do it be-
cause we really need them as
part of the work force.
As the town considers pro-
posals for a new specific pur-
pose excise tax, officials from
START, Jackson Public Works,
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort,
the Teton County Sheriffs Of-
fice and others noted that the
storm shone a light on the im-
portance of constructing afford-
able housing in town limits.
This year showcased that
we can be vulnerable, Whalen
said. Not being able to get crit-
ical service providers to work
medical staff, firefighters,
teachers creates real com-
munity problems.

Boreal blow strands
Teton Valley students
Closed pass, canyon cut
off way home or to school
for Idaho residents.
By Caroline Kucera
Journeys School sophomore Lia
Kluegel did not go home from Feb. 8 till
Saturday last week.
Not because she was trying to be a re-
bellious teenager and make a statement
to her parents, but because she physi-
cally could not get home from school.
Kluegel was among a handful of
Jackson Hole students and teachers
stranded by the winter storm that tore
through the valley last week.
Idaho residents who utilize the Jack-
son Hole education system spent the
week unable to make it to classes, or
back home, due to the closure of high-
ways over Teton Pass and through the
Snake River canyon.
Some unlucky students, like Kluegel,
were trapped in the valley. They had an
adventurous week arranging places to
stay and frantically refreshing road up-
dates on their electronic devices.
She is one of 15 students from Idaho
who attend the Journeys School, but
only she and one other student spent
the week on the Jackson side. The two
bounced between peers houses and
made do with what they had with them.
Kluegel and Jackson Hole Commu-
nity School junior Bella Morris planned
to spend Monday evening in Jackson for
an afterschool program. Their prepara-
tion had benefits throughout the rest of

damages is needed to qualify for federal
funding. Local governments, including
special districts, can request money, as
can qualified nonprofits, such as Lower
Valley Energy.
Webb estimated the co-ops losses to
climb near $1.5 million once permanent
power lines and poles are installed.
Were trying to get our arms around
the costs for the other agencies, Ochs
said. I dont think anyone is going to
come close to that.
Village resident Les Gibson was
ready for such a disaster, having weath-
ered the 1986 winter storm that brought
110 inches of moisture and closed the
pass for 18 days, he said.
He kept a log of the details of the
storm how he remembered all the
details, he said and has since kept a
cache of candles in the house, a full tank
of propane on hand and enough lumber
to fire up his woodstove.
This storm is similar to that storm,
he said. It came in as nice light pow-
der, and, before we knew it, it got out

the week.
I was preparing to stay Monday
night, so luckily I had basic necessities
like toiletries and that kind of stuff with
me, Kluegel said. But as far as clothes
go, I kind of looked and felt a bit home-
less.
Kluegel said it was an uneasy feel-
ing.
It is not like I was homesick, Klue-
gel said. Its just that I didnt enjoy the
feeling of not having the option of being
able to go home.
Morris was the only Community
School student from Idaho out of four
who attended classes following the clo-
sure of the pass. Additionally, three
teachers were unable to travel to work.
Students on the other side of the
hill sat at home and attempted to chug
through days of missed schoolwork.
Community School senior Ryan Hut-
ton said the week felt like a break, but a
stressful one.
It felt like a Christmas break, but
one where I couldnt do anything. Hut-
ton said. It sucked knowing all my work
was going to be due when I got back and
not knowing when that would be.
The reopening of Teton Pass on Sat-
urday afternoon allowed stranded stu-
dents to finally head home, see their
families and sleep in their own beds.
Come Monday morning they returned
to their classrooms slightly more well-
rested and more eager to be there than
their peers.

Besides Gibson, the only people left
in the Village by Feb. 8 were crews
clearing snow and putting up wooden
power poles the electrical Band-aid
that will hold the community together
until permanent structures are erected.
This line is very much part of the
backbone of our system, Webb said. It
is a critical line.
Crews from from High Plains Power,
Idaho Falls Power, Fall River Rural
Electric, Bonneville Power and Wasatch
Electric were called to help local line-
men install a line of 26 wooden poles
along Teton Village Road.
With lifts frozen at the resort from
Wednesday to Saturday, the mountain
rerouted its crews to clearing snow. The
resort spent Sunday getting ready to re-
open Monday.
The state of emergency expired the
same morning.
Tuesday was quite a day, Wallace
said. It went from probably one of the
best powder skiing days to chaos by 6:30
in the evening.

SPET projects, maybe
Town and county elected officials took a
straw poll on 12 projects during Mondays
special joint information meeting, giving nods
to the following specific purpose excise tax
projects. Town and county officials have until
March 1 to set the May 2 ballot.
Projects with preliminary approval:
Fire station improvements, $6.8M
Renovation of Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Station
No. 1 (Jackson) and land acquisition and
design for Station No. 3 (Hoback).
Town/county maintenance facility,
$15.3M
Completion of second phase of START bus
facility, providing space for town and county
operations and vehicle storage.
START buses, $6.5M
Replacement of eight START buses, purchase
of two commuter-style buses.
Land for workforce housing, $5M
Purchase of land for future affordable housing.
Town pedestrian improvements, $1.5M
Improvements and expansion of Jackson
sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, Americans
with Disabilities-specific crossings and
sidewalk lighting.
Rec Center improvements, $2.335M
Renovations to several areas in the
Teton County/Jackson Recreation Center,
including the hot tub and locker rooms, and
maintenance and improvements.
Redmond Street Rentals, $2.1M to $4M
Construction of 26 affordable housing units in
partnership with the Jackson Hole Community
Housing Trust. Elected officials have not yet
determined the allocated amount.
Preliminary total: $39.5M to $41.4M
Projects still under consideration:
Government employee housing, $11.2M
Facility for Parks and Recreation equipment
and 21 units of employee housing for town
and county employees ($2.9M); 24 units
of government employee housing at the
START maintenance facility ($8.3M). Officials
have debated funding Parks and Rec in full
and providing some money for design and
planning of the START project.
St. Johns Medical Center Living Center,
$17M
Construction of new 60-bed senior assisted
living center, including wards for rehabilitation
and memory care. The new facility would also
include space to expand for another 24 beds.
St. Johns would cover the remainder of the
$35 million construction project.
Central Wyoming College-Jackson
Campus, $9.85M
Purchase and renovation of an East Jackson
facility to serve as a hub for the college.
Childrens Learning Center, $1M
Pay off a $1 million loan needed to complete
new 15,000-square-foot building. The project
was funded by a 2006 SPET initiative, the
Wyoming Business Council and private
donations.
Wilson boat ramp, $375,000
Completion of the Wilson boat ramp, which
was partially funded by a 2010 SPET initiative.
Still under consideration total: $39.4M
Repurposed funds:
These funds would be repurposed from excess
SPET money collected to build the South Park
Loop pathway, which was constructed under
budget.
Highway 89 pathway, underpass,
wildlife fencing, $1.5M
Pathway associated with expansion
of Highway 89 and a corresponding
underpasses, as well as wildlife fencing near
Melody Ranch.
This rendering of the START bus facility shows employee housing north of the current building that is estimated
to cost $8.3 million. The maintenance facility addition (in grey) is shown to the west, and is estimated to cost $15.3
million. Elected officials are considering 10 other SPET proposals in addition to these two.
SPET
Continued from cover
$48 million.
Im a four- to five-year guy, Lenz
said Ive seen some of them run out to
like seven years and what happens
is by the time you get out to year five or
six, people forget what they voted on.
The largest amount ever asked of
voters was $63.8 million on a 2008
ballot for five projects, including a
$52.8 million justice center. The jus-
tice center was voted down, bringing
the total down to $11 million of ap-
proved projects.
The biggest number of projects vot-
ers have been asked to wade through
is 11, and they approved 10 for a total
of $34 million in a 2010 election.
The most voters ever approved was
$42.3 million in a 2001 SPET election
that covered seven projects, including
an $11.5 million elementary school
and $9.1 million for a St. Johns Medi-
cal Center housing project.
In the most broad philosophical
sense, SPET is by definition a vehicle
by which the voter instructs the elect-
eds in what projects they support by
direct ballot, Councilor Don Frank
said. I would be very surprised to
see every project succeed. I would be
pleased if they did, but I would also be
surprised. Thats where the voters role
in SPET is, to either support or win-
now the more important projects in
their minds.
As it stands, if the boards put all of
projects to a vote residents would have
to choose from among a dozen projects
totaling about $80 million the high-
est number of projects to appear on a
ballot and the most money ever asked
for.
I think its a very interesting con-
versation, commission Chairman
Mark Newcomb said. I cant quite
tell if its going that direction. I think
looking at it from a probability point of
view, the odds are increasing slightly
that its going that direction. But Ive
also heard some of the town people say
theres still a lot of room to negotiate
with St. Johns and [Central Wyoming
College-Jackson].
Other pitches
Reviving SPET came up shortly
after the 1 percent general sales tax
initiative failed in the general elec-
tion, the aim being to bring the tax
back as soon as possible and to direct
funds to housing and transportation
needs.
The six-person SPET vetting com-
mittee filled by County Commis-
sioners Administrator Alyssa Wat-
kins, Town Manager Bob McLaurin,
Newcomb, Vogelheim, Frank and
Councilor Hailey Morton Levinson
reviewed in-house projects with those
parameters in mind.
After meeting four times the com-
mittee released a report proposing
$53.2 million of government projects.
The report noted St. Johns Medical
Center and Central Wyoming College-
Jackson had also made pitches, but
the committee was unable to reach
resolution on two outside government
projects. No recommendation was
made.
A few meetings into the tax talks,
Lenz threw in a few additional proj-
ects for consideration, including $1
million to pay off a loan for the Chil-
drens Learning Center expansion,
and a few million for repairs needed
for the Teton County/Jackson Recre-
ation Center. Councilor Jim Stanford
backed $375,000 to finish off the Wil-
son boat ramp and suggested $1.5
million to improve town sidewalks.
I know there are several other non-
profits that are paying on their build-
ings, Commissioner Smokey Rhea
said in a January joint meeting. If
were just going to open it up and start
hand-picking projects, Ill probably
come to you and say lets help [Com-
munity Entry Services] pay off their
[loans].
The additional projects have pushed
the slate over $80 million, and electeds
have struggled to narrow the list since.
Big outliers
While the review committee was
given specific parameters to review
projects, Newcomb said the communi-
ty pressed the boards to consider out-
side projects as well.
No sooner had the recommenda-
tion left the committee when it met
with the political reality that within
the community there is a strong de-
sire for projects that are not strictly for
housing and transportation, yet that
clearly play a crucial role in sustaining
a vibrant community, Newcomb wrote
in an email to the News&Guide. The
two that rose to the top for me are the
Living Center and CWC.
But while the merits of the two proj-
ects have been lauded it hasnt gone
unnoticed that they are also two high-
priced projects. The hospitals ask is by
far the largest $17 million though
the hospital has proposed to pay for
the remainder of its $35 million Living
Center itself. The sum also doesnt fac-
tor in the cost of the property, nor the
estimated $1.5 million St. Johns loses
each year running the facility.
However, elected officials have con-
tinued to press the hospital on its fig-
ures, some wanting a lower number
to put on the ballot at least for this
election and others suggested the
need for a seventh penny of tax.
Central Wyoming College-Jackson
has been under the same pressure to
explain its numbers, specifically get-
ting heat from Councilor Stanford,
who was frustrated with the colleges
proposal being a moving target.
Its been moving and evolving so
COURTESY RENDERING
quickly that Im not sure its had a
chance to be fully vetted, he said.
Community college officials came
forward with a third, slightly different
proposal, which includes two lots on Ve-
ronica Lane in West Jackson on which
to build a central campus. Additional
questions from the board poked at the
projects employee housing mitigation
requirements (about one unit) and the
possibility of incorporating affordable
housing should the design push up to
three or four stories instead of the cur-
rently proposed two.
Representatives for the college
stressed the need to move on the proj-
ect that has been in the works for five
years and to grab a rare opportunity to
buy land as perfectly suitable for an
educational facility as the lots pro-
posed.
CWC is ready to strike on this prop-
erty and bring to you a project that is
ready to go, said Kathy Wells, the vice
president of student affairs.
The boards remain undecided on if
the projects will make the ballot and
for how much. Both Beaupre and Wells
asked for a week to work with town
and county staff on their proposals.
Enticing voters
The boards also remains undecided
on three other projects: the Wilson boat
ramp, money for Rec Center improve-
ments and $11.2 million earmarked for
governmental employee housing.
The latter project was once proposed
as two $8.3 million for 24 units of
town and county employee housing
to be tacked onto the north end of the
START bus building, and $2.9 million
for the Parks and Recreation mainte-
nance facility, which also includes 21
employee units.
Commissioner Greg Epstein sug-
gested holding off on funding the
START bus housing or at least fund-
ing construction until the project
was further along in planning. Along-
side several other elected officials, Ep-
stein stressed a need for projects to be
shovel ready before going before vot-
ers for approval.
If youre going to make housing
a priority, then lets make it a prior-
ity, Lenz said, who backed placing the

Lenz supported many of the addi-
tional projects specifically the Wilson
boat ramp and the Childrens Learn-

needs enticing proposals to bring voters

SCHEDULES
Continued from cover
A day, move through to G which carries
over into the next week and then start over.
Thats why its called a rotating drop schedule.
Were really trying to find a balance between
block periods of 90 minutes and the traditional
period of 50 minutes for instructional reasons,
Crisp said.
Some project-based classes need more time,
but other classes keep students engaged better
when they are shorter.
Crisp said the changes in scheduling will also
cut the number of transitions in a day for social or
emotional reasons like reducing stress and anxi-
ety something heavily studied last year by the
student school board and administrators.
We are slowing the day down for the student,
he said.
Rotating periods will also have classes meet at
different times of the day.
Students operate differently and have differ-
ent levels of energy based off the timing of the
day, Crisp said. We are looking forward to see-
ing the benefits and seeing how that impacts stu-
dent achievement.
But theres more to it.
To educators a master schedule represents
the beliefs, attitudes and priorities of a school.
Administrators say the new schedule will allow
more time for students to seek help during school
hours. It will also reduce stress, they say, and in-
crease student engagement.
One of the big ones was finding a time during
the day where we could provide re-teaching oppor-
tunities, intervention opportunities, tutorial time
and enrichment opportunities, Crisp said. Thats
key.
Currently, students have to find a way to come
early or stay late and thats not always pos-
sible. Others try to meet with teachers during
lunch. By introducing what the schools are calling
a flex period every day, Crisp and other admin-
istrators hope to have a consistent time during
which students can get assistance from teachers
without continually scheduling appointments.
Flex time blocks is one of the more creative
parts of the schedule, Crisp said.
Flex time will fit the schools college and ca-
reer ready program, club meeting times, tutoring,
JACKSON HOLE NEWS&GUIDE, Wednesday, February 15, 2017 - 23A
meeting with teachers, interventions, enrichment
activities, flexibility for early release and school-
wide presentations.
Its all within the school day, so a student who
takes the bus to school has time during the day to
get the review and support they need, Crisp said.
Another big change one that worries some
students is two lunch periods.
Projected enrollment growth is the driver for
that change. As of Oct. 1, Jackson Hole High
School enrollment was 683 students. It has a ca-
pacity of 969 students. Projections show it will ap-
proach, but not quite hit, capacity in 2023 with
962 students if Summit High School enrollment
remains steady.
If you come to the high school at lunch youll
see we are running out of seats, Crisp told the
board of trustees on Feb. 8. Students eat in the
hallways and in the rotundas sometimes, he said.
I think its an obligation to provide a seat for ev-
ery student in our commons.
If the high schools dont change their schedule
next year, Superintendent Gillian Chapman said
the schools would need to hire additional teachers,
something thats not in the districts budget with
looming cuts to education in the state of Wyoming.
If we were to stay with our current master
schedule the way it is, we would be looking at
needing to add 10 teachers for the next school
year, Chapman said to the board of trustees on
Feb. 8. We know we cant do that.
However, high school administrators say bud-
get cuts didnt drive the change in schedules.
This is the best schedule for students, said
Dan Abraham, the assistant principal at Jackson
KATHRYN HOLLOWAY / NEWS&GUIDE
Hole High School. It was not driven initially by
any means around a budget question or impend-
ing state cuts or what the Wyoming Legislature
is going to do. We will work around budget con-
straints and still do what is best for kids.
Administrators also say theyre committed to
not overworking teachers.
We are dedicated to maintaining prep time for
teachers at least once a day, Crisp said.
Student school board members reported these
concerns, and others, to school board members on
Feb. 8. They say students worry that theyll be
split up from friends during separate lunch peri-
ods and that classes are too long.
They are also worried that flex time wont be
used efficiently and that classmates will end up
goofing around.
Crisp has reiterated that there will be supervi-
sion and that staff members are playing a large
role in constructing productive flex time.
Student school board members will play a big
role in implementing the new schedule next year.
Peer-to-peer information is powerful at the
high school level, Abraham said.
The district is planning one, if not several, Q&A
nights, probably after spring break. Jackson Hole
High School will host an incoming freshman night
from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. March 7 to educate eighth-
grade students on high school life, including how
to master the new schedule.
Its great to be moving forward with positive
momentum, Abraham said.

A slide on Highway 191 just west of Camp Creek closed the road for several hours last week. Wyoming Department of Transportation officials said that many
places where slides obstructed roads had no historical record of avalanching, including this one.
Weather, slides wreak havoc on roads
WYDOT, Avalanche
Center employees
call huge cycle a
career storm.
By Mike Koshmrl
T
here was a point during last
weeks storm cycle when av-
alanche technician Jamie
Yount had no safer options than
simply closing down the high-
ways feeding into Jackson Hole.
Rain-soaked snowpacks were
toppling not only in known slide
paths, but on slopes with no re-
cord of avalanching.
That was the case east of Ho-
back Junction, where an ava-
lanche ripped to the ground un-
derneath the cliff bands near
Camp Creek. It was the same
story on Teton Pass, Yount said,
where six slides not previously
known to be road hazards tore
across Highway 22.
I dont know where you can
start and stop with control work
when anything over 30 degrees
can slide, said Yount, who works
for the Wyoming Department of
Transportation. Its not practi-
cal. We felt like we needed to close
the roads and be patient. Thats
where we were at, and that was
really the only tool available to
us.
At one point three of the four
routes in and out of Jackson were
closed. Steady gales, and the bliz-
zards and drifting they created,
closed Highway 26/89/191 in
Grand Teton National Park.
But it was the avalanching
that created the hazard in the
Hoback and Snake River canyons
and on Teton Pass, which was
completely off-limits to the pub-
lic for four and a half days. The
Snake River canyons Thursday
morning closure lasted just about
a day, but Hoback Canyon closed
and opened five times between
Tuesday and Friday.
All of the closures were for
good reason.
All told, Yount said, 15 to 20
avalanches hit the highway in
the Snake River canyon, anoth-
er eight occurred in the Hoback
and a dozen slid atop Teton Pass.
The majority released naturally,
he said, and plenty ran wet and
deep and carried lots of debris,
which complicated cleanup.
One WYDOT-initiated Glory
Bowl release put 30 feet of snow
on the road, while avalanching on
the west side of the pass covered
1,000 feet of Highway 22 with
about 10 feet of snow, Yount said.
Its been a pretty spectacular
winter, and that was a pretty ex-
traordinary storm on top of it, he
said, adding it was the largest
magnitude he had seen.
It was a widespread ava-
lanche cycle, so we got stretched
pretty thin with our resources,
Yount said. The hazard was high
everywhere low elevations,
high elevations, all the roads.
The Bridger-Teton Avalanche
Centers Mike Rheam said the
Small slides in Snake River canyon impacted Highway 89 between
Hoback and Alpine during last weeks storm event. The road was
closed for more than a day due to heavy slide activity.
JACKSON HOLE NEWS&GUIDE, Wednesday, February 15, 2017 - 25A
storm was the biggest in his 20
years of forecasting snowslides.
At Rendezvous Bowl there
was 92 inches of snow [from Feb.
1 through 12] , and 11.9 inches of
snow water equivalent added,
Rheam said.
The blast of winter, he said, ri-
valed the storied winter storm of
February 1986 (see weatherman
Jim Woodmenceys column on
page 8B). The Avalanche Center,
for the second time this winter,
issued an extreme avalanche
danger rating due to the rain,
wind and heavy snow, another
rarity.
Rain and snow, Rheam said,
have likely wiped away evidence
of a countless number of ava-
lanches that naturally released
in the mountains surrounding
Jackson Hole.
There will be an incred-
ible number of avalanches in
the backcountry during that
cycle that no one will ever know
about, he said.
One of the slides that was re-
corded claimed a life. Profession-
al snowmobiler Josh Roth, of Al-
BRADLY J. BONER / NEWS&GUIDE PHOTOS
pine, was killed Thursday in an
avalanche southwest of Palisades
Reservoir. Bridger-Teton ava-
lanche experts were able to visit
the site for the first time Tuesday,
Rheam said.
The fatal slide let loose at
around 7,600 feet in elevation
not 6,127 feet, as originally re-
ported by the Avalanche Center.
He wasnt down in the creek,
he was up in the mountains and
under a very small avalanche
path that knocked him off the
machine and swept him toward
the trees, Rheam said.
Other than another snowmo-
biler nonfatally buried on Togwo-
tee Pass, no other avalanche ac-
cidents were reported during the
storm cycle. The closures of Teton
Pass and Jackson Hole Mountain
Resort might have contributed
to what Rheam speculated was
very limited use in the back-
country.
I think a lot of people knew it
was dangerous and just decided
not to go, Rheam said.
Although avalanches in Jack-
son Hole have hit two vehicles
this winter, Yount was happy to
say that didnt happen during
Februarys perpetual storm.
Nobody got hurt, and there
were no near misses, Yount said.
Im proud of our maintenance
crews for putting in a ton of hours
on the week, and in the end I
think we did a good job.
We take a lot of pride in our
work, he said, and we just want
everyone to get home safe, even if
its a total pain in the butt.

The peace officer recording bill
was placed on the general file in the
House this week. It must pass the
committee of the whole before being
voted on at first reading.
Criminal justice reform (HB94)
would give judges more options when
sentencing nonviolent offenders.
The bill would allow judges to
place nonviolent offenders on proba-
tion without going through a court
proceeding. If the defendant agrees,
he or she could get three years of
probation for a misdemeanor charge
or five years for a nonviolent felony
charge.
The purpose is to get people in
substance abuse or mental health
treatment, if thats whats called
for, instead of prison or jail, said
Rep. Marti Halverson, a Republican
whose district includes parts of Teton
County. We all know the story of the
inmate who goes to prison and comes
out a hardened criminal.
The criminal justice reform bill
was introduced on the Senate floor
this week. The bill must pass the
committee of the whole and be as-
signed a Senate committee before
first reading.
Marijuana and THC products
policy reform (HB197)
would amend penalties for possess-
ing the controlled substance.
As proposed, possession of 3 ounc-
es of marijuana in plant form or 8
ounces of a THC product would re-
sult in no more than five years in jail
and a fine of no more than $10,000.
Anything less, on first offense,
would result in a misdemeanor pun-
ishable by imprisonment for no more
than 20 days and a $200 fine.
With a second offense within 10
years the punishment jumps to six
months in jail and a $750 fine. A third
conviction would result in two years
in jail and a $5,000 fine. A fourth con-
viction is punishable by five years in
jail and a $10,000 fine.
The marijuana and THC products
policy reform bill was referred to the
Senate Judiciary Committee. If it
passes committee it will come back
to the Senate floor for first reading.
Education Bills
School Financing Omnibus Bill
(HB236) and General Govern-
ment Appropriations (SF1)
The state of Wyoming is faced with a
looming shortfall between education
spending and revenue that Gov. Matt
Mead has repeatedly called a crisis.
Its projected that there will be a
$360 million to $400 million shortfall
in the next biennium that will only
increase in the future.
The latest iteration of an educa-
tion funding bill in the Wyoming Sen-
ate (SF1), seeks to cut $91 million to
funding during the 2018-19 school
year. The amendment containing the
cuts passed a third reading in the
Senate and will now go to the House
for consideration.
For Teton County School District
No. 1 that could mean anywhere
between $1 million and $4 million
in cuts. For more on the impact of
funding legislation, see the story on
page 30A.

Teton County, Idaho.
Archibald also filed a motion in li-
mine on Monday, meaning he wants
to keep certain evidence from being
presented during trial.
Prosecutors presented a taped con-
fession during Ohlsons preliminary
hearing. The interview was with Ida-
ho State Police soon after Ohlsons ar-
rest.
The defense also plans to file a mo-
tion to dismiss the second murder
count of fetal homicide.
Its a complicated issue, Archibald
said at the November court date. Ida-
ho respects Roe v. Wade, and Roe v.
Wade says a fetus is not a person. The
mother has rights but not the fetus.
Nalleys fetus was likely eight to
10 weeks old at the time, a doctor has
testified.
The Idaho Supreme Court has not
ruled on the constitutionality of the
fetal homicide statute, Archibald said.
Ohlson has stayed mostly quiet
each time hes appeared in court, only
speaking with the judge when hes
asked a direct question.
Hes eligible for life in prison or the
death penalty.
A hearing is scheduled for Friday
in Driggs, Idaho.

Gensch said. It was wild, but an honor to be part of.

This months storm challenges big one of 86
T
he weather during the first 10
days of February was wild, wool-
ly and Western.
From heavy snow to rain, to power-
ful wind, to avalanches everywhere,
it was certainly the storm of the cen-
tury so far. We have not seen con-
ditions like that since February 1986,
when we had the storm of that century.
This week I will recap the weather
during the storm cycle between Feb. 1
and 11 and compare it with a storm cy-
cle of similar length in February 1986.
Beautiful powder, then rain
It started out with copious amounts
of powder snow, which had skiers,
snowboarders and snowmobilers giddy
with delight. Remember, December
and January were both well above nor-
mal for snowfall this winter.
This storm cycle really began on
Groundhog Day.

what the lo-
cal groundhog

but he should

Weather
started mixing Jim Woodmencey
with rain Tues-
day evening, Feb. 7. It changed to all
rain by Wednesday, Feb. 8. After that
it rained all the way up to around the
8,500-foot elevation in the mountains,
all day Thursday, Feb. 9, and into Fri-
day afternoon, Feb. 10.
In the town of Jackson there are
two rain gauges within 50 yards of
each other: the official Jackson Cli-
mate Station gauge, which is manu-
ally read each day, and an automated
weather station maintained by the
Bureau of Reclamation. I mention
both because, as you will see, the
manual station is missing a few criti-
cal days of weather record for 1986.
The total water recordings, including
melted snowfall, at both gauges during
the first 11 days of February 2017 were
similar: just over 3 inches of water.
The official total from the Jack-
son Climate Station rain gauge was
3.12 inches. Snowfall recorded at the
station totaled 17 inches, all of which
fell during the first seven days of the
month. It was mostly rain after that as
temperatures climbed above freezing.
By the way, that 3.12 inches of pre-
cipitation breaks the record for the
month of February in town. The old
record was 2.83 inches in February
1962. And this month is only half over.
Although, hold just a minute, because
later in this column I will reconstruct
what happened in February 1986.
In the mountains, to say there was
a lot of snow and a lot of water during
the first 11 days of February would
be an understatement. It was big,
and I will use the upper-mountain
study plot at the bottom of Rendez-
vous Bowl (9,580 feet) to recap the
weather for this storm and for com-
parison with what happened in 1986.
Total snowfall at Rendezvous Bowl
during the roughly 11-day storm, be-
ginning overnight Jan. 31 and end-
ing Saturday afternoon Feb. 11, 2017,
was 92 inches, or just over 7 1/2 feet of
snow. That 92 inches of snowfall con-

tained exactly 10 inches of water.
To put all that snow and its water
weight in perspective: 0.01 inches
of water, covering an acre of land,
weighs 1 ton. Therefore, 10 inches of
snow-water equivalent over an acre of
land in the mountains would weigh
1,000 tons. The 3 inches of water in
town would weigh 300 tons. That
would be more than enough to bring a
hillside or a roof down.
Big winds topple towers
This storm reached its crescendo,
you could say, on Tuesday, Feb. 7,
when powerful wind gusts knocked
over a string of 17 power transmis-
sion poles along Wyoming Highway
390 near Teton Village. Maximum
wind gust speeds that I was able to
verify around the valley reached 61
mph at Jackson Hole Airport. An an-
emometer at a residence along 390,
which I trust to be relatively accurate,
recorded a peak gust of 83 mph about
the time the towers folded.
On top of the Aerial Tram, before
the power went out, gusts reached 75
mph. Incidentally, at the top of Freds
Mountain at Grand Targhee Resort
wind gusts topped out at 81 mph that
same evening.
Avalanches were everywhere. With
that much snow, water weight and
NANCY VESSLER / NEWS&GUIDE FILE
wind, big avalanches are the result. At
lower elevations, with rain on snow,
especially for an extended period of
time, avalanches are guaranteed.
That was evident with the slides in
the Hoback and Snake River canyons,
above Hidden Ranches on the south
end of town and in the in-bounds ter-
rain at Snow King. All reached their
crescendo Thursday and Friday. Sadly,
on Thursday, snowmobiler Josh Roth
was killed in an avalanche near Black
Mountain, south of Alpine.
Teton Pass also had huge slides
natural and explosives-induced
crossing the highway on both sides
of the pass. Miraculously, Teton Pass
was closed for only four and a half
days, from early Tuesday morning un-
til Saturday afternoon.
Resorts closed in 1986, too
In February 1986 Snow King and
the Jackson Hole ski areas closed for
a period of time, and Teton Pass was
closed for two weeks.
I pored through all the data I could
get my hands on from that 1986 storm
cycle and found many parallels to this
Februarys storm cycle. That storm
also started out cold for the first day
or so, then it got warm and it actually
did pour rain in the valley.
Rain turned city streets into rivers,
the Jackson Hole News reported.
In the town of Jackson, unfortu-
nately, there were four days of missing
data during the height of that storm
cycle. I had to use the Bureau of Rec-
lamation automated weather station
for comparison. Ill trust it was as ac-
curate back in 1986 as it was in 2017.
Total precipitation in town from Feb.
12 through 23, 1986, was 4.6 inches at
the automated weather station. Had
that been recorded manually at the
Jackson Climate Station, it would have
been the all-time record precipitation
for the month of February.
Therefore, the record established
this February should probably have a
footnote. At least you are now aware
that February 1986 was wetter in
town than 2017 by almost an inch and
a half of water.
In February 1986 it also rained up
to around the 8,500- to 9,000-foot el-
evation in the mountains, and snowed
mightily above that elevation. Wind
gusts during the height of that storm
period reached 100 mph at the top of
the tram.
Looking at data from the Ren-
dezvous Bowl weather instruments,
for the 12-day period from Feb. 12
through 23, 1986, there was 110 inch-
es of snow accumulation. All of that
snow contained 12.5 inches of water.
Over the same number of days Feb-
ruary 1986 had 18 more inches of snow
in the mountains and 2.5 more inches
of water than February 2017.
1986 had a mega slide
It still saddens me today to think
back to that winter 31 years ago. It
started off bad when ski patrolman
Paul Driscoll was killed on Dec. 2, 1985,
during set-up before opening day at the
Jackson Hole Ski Area.
In the middle of that winters storm
cycle, on Feb. 17, 1986, Tom Raymer
was killed in an avalanche on Moran
Face during hazard reduction work. I
knew both these gentlemen, and that
is a word I would use to describe both
of their characters.
On Feb. 24, 1986, as the storm
clouds were clearing and the ski
area was bombing the hell out of
the mountain, a lone round from the
105mm howitzer was fired at the
Headwall. One of the largest ava-
lanches in modern times was the re-
sult of that shot.
The avalanche ran down past the
base of the Thunder chairlift, oozing
down the lower mountain in the rain-
soaked snow as a wet slide, coming
to within 200 feet of houses near the
base of the mountain. It dropped al-
most 3,000 vertical feet and ran over a
mile and a half in linear distance.
The likelihood of a slide of that mag-
nitude ever happening there again
is almost nil given the modern ava-
lanche reduction methods employed
on the mountain today.
Both February storms were the
result of a constant flow of Pacific
moisture, coming out of the West and
Southwest, that was nearly relentless
for 10 to 12 days. In both cases that
moist flow also brought warming tem-
peratures, which caused heavy rainfall
at lower elevations. Both storm cycles
resulted in massive avalanche activity.
While February 1986 may have been
had more snow and more water, Feb-
ruary 2017 ran a close second.
Thanks all around
When Mother Nature gets her fury
on like this there is no battling it. You
just have to know when to shut every-
thing down and wait it out.
Many thanks to Wyoming Depart-
ment of Transportation workers for
keeping the highways safe, even if
that meant keeping them closed. Low-
er Valley Energy did an amazing job
restoring power while working in hid-
eous weather day after day.

workers deserve credit for staying on
top of the avalanche conditions on the
mountain throughout the power out-
age and for assisting with the trans-
mission line repair. Hats off to every-
one who lent a hand.
A thank you from me to the many
people I spoke with about these two
storms, especially Renny Jackson, Rod
Newcomb and Jamie Yount for helping
me put this storm of 2017 in perspec-
tive with the great storm of 1986.

King, 79, went from Southie to the Tetons

Dr. Martin Francis King, of Jack-
son Hole, died Feb. 6 while listening to
music and holding hands with his wife.
His family provided the following.
Martys intelligence, sense of hu-
mor, kindness and empathy bound
him to his family and friends. Those
closest to him were most struck by
his deep concern for others, his humil-
ity in the face of the successful life he
built (despite his difficult upbringing)
and his outgoing and gregarious na-
ture. He was a wonderful and loving
father who exemplified his core val-
ues of intellectual curiosity, education
and empathy. It was the combination
of these remarkable traits that made
him a great man.
Marty was born Oct. 10, 1937, to
Thomas and Catherine King in Bos-
ton and grew up in the strong Irish
culture of the Dorchester area of
South Boston. Raised almost entirely
by their mother, who fought to keep
a roof over their heads and food on
the table, Marty and his brother,
Tom, took strikingly different paths.
While Marty led a life of educational
pursuit, Tom became involved in or-
ganized crime and was murdered in
1974 by then-rival and later notori-

ous mob boss Whitey Bulger.
Marty worked odd jobs while at-
tending Boston Latin School, the old-
est public high school in the country,
and Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology. Graduating from MIT with a
Bachelor of Science in mathematics,
he took a job with IBM in New York
City, where he worked as a program-
mer on one of worlds first mainframe
computers.
Upon earning his medical degree
at the University of Rochester Medi-
cal School, Marty returned to Boston
for his residency at Harvard Medical
Schools teaching hospital, acting as
teaching fellow in pathology. During
those years he met and married Flora
King. They had two sons, David, born
in Boston in 1967, and Anthony, born
in San Antonio in 1972.
Joining the Air Force after deferred
enlistment, Major Martin F. King,
M.D., taught and practiced pathol-
ogy at the Wilford Hall Medical Cen-
ter, where he was promoted to chief of
surgical pathology. He then accepted a
position at a private pathology practice
in Corpus Christi, Texas. They raised
their boys, enjoyed community life and
made many good friends. Marty and
Flora divorced during those years.
In 1991 Marty retired as a partner
from medical practice to return to his
first love, the study of mathematics
and physics. At this time he began his
life with Melene Dodson, a lawyer and
judge who had been a friend for years.
In 1967 they moved to Austin, Texas,
where she could continue to work and
he could take classes at the Univer-
sity of Texas. When Melene retired in
2001, they moved to Jackson Hole.
Marty hiked, read, made friends,
and lived the Hole Life. He truly loved
the valley and the community here,
particularly his neighbors in Rafter J,
with whom he developed deep and en-
during friendships.
In 2007 Marty was diagnosed with
multiple myeloma and became Patient
One in an aggressive tandem trans-
plant protocol at the Huntsman Can-
cer Center in Salt Lake City. Though
he was physically undermined and
weakened by the treatment, it gave
him another decade with Melene, his
family and his friends.
Marty is survived by his wife and
partner of 26 years, Melene Rowe
Dodson; sons David M. King and An-
thony A. King; stepsons Avram R.
Dodson and Joseph A. (Austin) Dod-
son; daughters-in-law Natalie King,
Kara King and Priya Sircar-Dodson;
and grandchildren Katherine King,

ing 55 would be analyzed by Planning Department and action

substantial fines and possible revocation of CUP, monitoring
occurs annually.
Bill Resor, applicant, complimented the staff on their profes-
sionalism. Asked the Board to accept the 2016 monitoring
report as presented. The staff based the annual report on the
independent consultants report as Snake River Ranch did
not submit any reports. Discussion between the Board and
Mr. Resor included soundproofing with the consultants recom-
mended speaker placement and sound monitoring during the
events, no additional conditions added, possibility of moving
events to the North site. It was noted that the North site is

in the CUP.
Public comment was received from Kristine Hand, Steve
Feldman, Liz Long, Heather Ewing, Jeff Kwolkoski, Martin
Spencer, Carrie Boyington, Bill Kulhaskey, Kate Mead, and
Christine Murdock.
Discussion among the Board included placement of speak-
ers, implementation of other sound measures as they become
available, SRR has made huge efforts to stay in compliance,
as they continue to use event site this will hopefully postpone
development.

their applications for excavation and regrading of the landfill,
improvements to the trash transfer facility and constructing

tion easement, buildable areas are essentially the same, just
making boundary adjustments.

idate all open space into one lot. The change in state regula-
tions as of January 1, 2017 required Agricultural Assessment

ing with one landowner instead of three for agricultural use
would be easier on the owner, lessee, and the Teton County

information and staff recommendations. Discussion between
the Board and staff included transfer of one development unit
added 8500 square feet, last contemplated expansion was
allowed for in the master plan, short-term rental units, and
transfer fees start from this point forward. Discussion on the
LDR Text Amendment Change included inclusion of metrics:
greater detail than necessary, updating text to make consis-
tent, and specific to SRSC only.
Brendon Schulte, Jorgenson Associates-agent to the applicant
stated that this is purely an administrative item that would
have been handled in the initial application but couldnt
because the applicant had not secured ownership of the lot at
the time. This has been resolved as the applicant now owns
the property. The master plan fully contemplates the addition
of lot 1.
Christopher Swann, applicant, spoke of the complexity of this
project that has been ongoing for three years, it has been an
expensive project, economically viable, and is still in the early
stage but getting close to having all major issues resolved.
Asked if CCRs existed it was confirmed they exist from the
former developer from about 15 years ago.
No public comment on the PUD Amendment.
Natalia Macker asked if it was appropriate for this level of
detail on an LDR text amendment. Tyler Sinclair replied that
since the level of detail is in there, it should be amended if you
approve to make the change.
Greg Epstein moved to approve PUD Amendment PUD2016-
0004 for the addition of Snake River Sporting Club Lot 1,
its one Development Unit, and 8,500 sf into Sub Area III of

mously.

0009.

Public comment was closed at 3:46pm. Chairman Newcomb
thanked everyone for coming with their comments.
The meeting was recessed at 3:46pm and reconvened at
4:04pm. Chairman Newcomb asked for questions from the
Board regarding the St. Johns Living Center proposal.
John Kren, Chief Financial Officer with St. Johns Medical
Center came forward to answer questions.
Commissioner Macker asked about the financials for the
Living Center and where the remainder of the funding would
come from. Mr. Kren stated that the full project would cost
$35 million and would be a 50/50 partnership with the com-
munity through SPET money contributing about $17 million.
Commissioner Macker asked if he was aware that the collec-
tion of funds wouldnt begin until next fall. He also noted that
the project would start in the spring of 2018.
Commissioner Rhea asked what would happen if they didnt
receive the full $17 million. Mr. Kren stated that they would
either have to scale back the project significantly, it would
stress the ability to do the project.
Commissioner Vogelheim stated that the timing is critical for
this SPET, but there seemed to be a little bit of wiggle room
for the $17 million. What other funding mechanisms or other
avenues to pick up the gap is there? Mr. Kren responded that
given the nature of the program (loses $1.5 million per year)
bonding is off the table for this project.
Commissioner Epstein asked about the revenue model for the
Living Center and if it was revenue positive what would be
the plans with that profit? Mr. Kren stated that it is revenue
negative due a loss of approximately $1.5 million per year.
Councilwoman Morton Levinson asked since they were not
adding beds would the facility still be adequate for the future.
Mr. Kren responded there would be shell space for 24 addi-
tional beds.
Commissioner Epstein asked with the new Living Center,
were they still planning on losing $1 million per year. Mr.
Kren stated that the annual loss is $1.5 million and with addi-
tional maintenance with the added space it could increase to
$2 million per year.
Councilman Frank asked about the current cognitive health
capacity of our community and how this would change if the
new Living Center could bring forward memory services.
Sarah Graham responded that there is no memory care unit
in Jackson. The layout of the current center makes it hard for
ambulatory people with dementia walking up and down the
hallways running into one wall dead end after another. Its
also not a secure unit, so its hard to take care of people that
are mobile. The new memory care unit would be less stimu-
lating, with circular walkways and more secure. Staff would be
trained specifically for orthopedic recovery, memory care train-
ing for dementia.
Councilman Stanford asked what is the plan for the old Living
Center and why not remodel it? Mr. Kren stated that the
building wouldnt meet code with the Wyoming Department
18B - JACKSON HOLE NEWS&GUIDE, Wednesday, February 15, 2017
of Health. If they remodel the building, they must update the
entire building. Councilman Stanford asked if this will change
the revenue structure with new center. Mr. Kren replied that
they currently charge per bed and will continue to charge per
bed, just upgrade the quality of life. He also noted that they
would have to move all the current residents out of the facility
to remodel. So they would like to build the new Living Center
and move everyone at one time to the new center.
Mayor Muldoon asked if they anticipate an increase in cost
with the new facility. Mr. Kren said they hope to stay the
same but due to increase in costs of maintenance and house-
keeping, there may be slight increases.
Chairman Newcomb asked for questions from the Board
regarding the Central Wyoming proposal.
Brad Tyndell, President, Central Wyoming College came for-
ward to answer questions.
Commissioner Vogelheim asked about the underlying owner-
ship with the land, how it would be structured as a condo-
minium unit to be purchased, what kind of unexpected fees
might be associated with an HOA. Dr. Tyndell responded that
they would not be an owner of the land. It would be a condo-
minium type setup. In terms of the funding piece, the way we
are funded is that we have tuition dollars. We also get State
reimbursed on three different levels: low, medium, and high
cost programs (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3). Two thirds of
our funding model are contingent upon numbers; people in the
classroom, which is extremely constrained when youre talking
about just a few students.
Commissioner Macker asked if the proposal requesting fund-
ing to build housing. Dr. Tyndell replied no, we just wanted
to address that because thats critical. We are not trying to
attract new people to the area, its very much designed for the
programs and needs now. To ignore housing in a college is a
mistake,
Councilman Frank asked if they had done any legwork on the
constructability and entitlements for that site and that den-
sity. Dr. Tyndell replied that they had two discussions on it,
but stated it was unresolved at the moment.
Commissioner Epstein asked about maintenance and is the
main college in Riverton responsible for the maintenance if
the satellite branch cannot perform maintenance within the
community. Dr. Tyndell responded that if there is a deficit,
CWC will take care of it.
Councilman Lenz asked if the condominium association owns
the land or lease the land. Michael Pruett, buyers agent for
CWC, responded that it would be a true condominium so the
land would be owned not leased. Ownership would be based
on the square footage percentage each condo had.
Councilman Stanford talked about the Legislators wrote that
picture of education funding statewide including community
colleges is pretty daunting. Given that there is a significant
and very serious shortfall of funds for education across the
state, could we be left with an expensive condominium and
no program. Dr. Tyndell doesnt feel that will happen. CWC
made the cuts that were necessary and that CWC is out of the
woods. Susan Durfee-Thulin noted that it is the responsibility
of Central Wyoming College to provide higher education to the
counties of which they are responsible. Dr. Tyndell noted that
Central Wyoming College must provide service to three coun-
ties: Fremont, Hot Springs and Teton.
Councilman Frank asked for a description of the magnitude
of expansion if the new campus were realized. Kathy Wells,
Vice President of Academics, stated the current facility has a
capacity of 8 students per year for a total of 16 students (1st
year/2nd year). The applicant pool can be 60-70 students
per year. The new facility will allow the school to double the
enrollment: 16 per year for a total of 32 students (1st year/2nd
year). Other programs that include culinary and hospitality
would also double the enrollment. The possibility of expand-
ing other programs that arent currently offered.
Discussion among the Boards began regarding the South
Park Road Network. Commissioner Vogelheim gave a recap
of the discussion during the BCC meeting earlier in the day
for the Town Council in regards to the Tribal Trails/East-West
Connector/South Park Connector. Councilman Stanford stated
that he supports Commissioner Vogelheim on the analysis of
these projects. He asked how much is the cost and how soon
could the charter process analysis be done. Sean OMalley,
Teton County Public Works Director, stated an estimate for
a consultant, in-house resources, conduct public outreach,
and design work, the cost is probably in the $500,000 range.
The timing is probably close to one year, conservatively.
Councilman Stanford asked if additional resources would
speed up the time table. Mr. OMalley replied they were
being conservative, but if they could go faster they would.
Councilman Stanford asked if more resources would help for
an outside consultant. If we were to try to decide on a sum
to put on the SPET ballot to get the analysis going and get it
finished. Mr. OMalley responded that he thought $500,000
should cover it. Mayor Muldoon asked about high-level design
for modeling and analysis vs. design work used for construc-
tion. Mr. OMalley responded the intent is high-level, concept,
enough to run numbers from a traffic analysis point of view
and a cost analysis.
Chairman Newcomb asked the Boards about opposition to not
putting any construction dollars on the ballot and there was
none. Discussion about $500,000 to start the charter process
: Councilwoman Morton Levinson stated that she would like
to learn from staff if funding outside of SPET is an option;
Councilman Lenz thought we should do modeling first before
we move on any of it; Commissioner Rhea would like to put
money to the studies; Mayor Muldoon would like to fund in
timeliness and outside of SPET; Chairman Newcomb would
like to see the modeling completed and Y improvements
for two years; Commissioner Macker agreed with Chairman
Newcomb, not opposed to hearing more from staff about the
funding analysis; Commissioner Epstein would like to use
the $150,000 to get countywide study done, Group 4 capital
projects also includes Snow King/Maple Way; Commissioner
Vogelheim would like to do the study, move forward, keeping
this on the discussion, put out to voters; Councilman Frank
supports more analysis, then act on it; Councilman Stanford
Public Notices
concurred with Commissioner Vogelheim and Councilman
Frank. He would like to see the $1.5 million for the Town of
Jackson sidewalks.
Chairman Newcomb addressed the town sidewalk issue and
would like to see this as a separate item. Councilman Frank
stated there is a surplus of $1 million dollars in the South
Park Pathways. The greatest benefit we can realize as a com-
munity is to create walkable cities. When we make promises
to spend SPET money to do projects, we should complete
them.

location of the $1.5 million in excess funds from the South
Park Loop Project. $1.5 million could be applied toward the
Countys requirements on South Highway 89 estimated to be
$837k, approximately $1.2 million for an underpass connect-
ing the South Park Loop boat ramp to the highway, and $75k
for wildlife fencing associated with the migration corridor
along Melody Ranch.
The Council and Commission moved into discussion on the
proposed initiatives.

START Bus Replacement and Expansion for $6.5 million.

ed. Newcomb supported only the replacement portion at $5
million, along with the fleet maintenance facility.
South Park Road Network for $5 million.

that their previous discussion included completing the studies
and then acting on those studies. Stanford supported funding

ported bundling $5 million for purchase and adding $3 million

to stay with $5 million and adding language to include both
purchase and/or preservation, with option for the Housing
Department to increase the ask if including preservation.
Park & Rec Maintenance Facility Employee Housing for $2.9
million and START Employee Housing for $8.3 million.

ballot or for alternative funding. Bob McLaurin spoke to prior
funding for housing and bonding.

and Macker supported the project. Paul Beaupre of St. Johns
Medical Center made comment on the total cost of the project
was $35 million, how that amount was determined, funding
and increased services. Stanford supported the project but

Broncs get
first 4A win

Hannafins hat trick helps Jackson to first 20-win season in 14 years.

Armijo, Faribanks lead
Jackson with timely
scoring and hustle
plays in fourth quarter.
By Clark Forster

In a basketball game in which

nearly every player contributed, it
was fitting that a sophomore who
splits time with the junior varsity
team had the biggest impact for the
Broncs on Monday.
Gus Armijo poured in 17 points,
including a game-clinching 3-pointer
with a minute left, to lead Jackson
to a 61-58 win over Green River in
Jackson. The win was Jacksons first
in 4A play since moving up from 3A
last season.
Armijo made shots each time
Jackson coach Sam Lunz inserted
the 5-foot-9 guard into the game.
The young guard saw his first
action midway through the second
quarter and picked up a quick 5
points. He played sparingly in the
third quarter but notched another
5-point quarter with a 3-pointer that
gave Jackson a 42-41 advantage and
its first lead of the second half.
Armijo wasnt going back to the
bench.
He capped his breakout game
with seven points in the fourth
quarter and a triple that put the
Broncs up 60-58, ending their five-
game losing streak.
Lunz played Armijo and much of
his bench most of the final quarter
and let the subs finish off the win for
the Broncs. Armijo did the bulk of the
scoring while fellow sophomore Nate
Fairbanks made the hustle plays.
Fairbanks blocked shots and
grabbed rebounds, and every time

in West Yellowstone, Montana.
Annabel Hagen will represent the
Intermountain Division for the second
time. She finished second in the U16
standings and was penciled in as a team
member after her first qualifier. Hagen
placed first and second in the two races
in Jackson, earning her 180 of her 280
total points for the trio of races.
Gibson and Hagens appearances on
the team come as little surprise. But
not Brazils. The U18 skier and Jackson
Hole High School senior took up Nordic
skiing as a sophomore. Now, by the hair
we look at the scoreboard and we
played hard. But you cant have 20,
25 points, 30 if we had a good scoring
day, at the end of the day and com-
pete against teams that have one or
two players that can score that. Its
been rough offensively and its wear-
ing on us.
Jackson was still in the game late
in the first half before a Green River
3-pointer in the final seconds put the
Wolves up 27-13 at the midpoint.
Jackson could muster just four points
over the next quarter and a half as
Green Rivers (9-9, 3-4) strong play
took the air out of the building as the
game dragged on.
I thought we played hesitant,
Shockley said. We didnt attack a
whole lot. As the game progressed
we started to play a half step slow.
We didnt get a lot of the 50-50 balls,
and it just took some of the wind out
of us.
Junior guard Raychl Fairbanks led

compete with the nations best.
Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard
Club coach Ben Morley said Brazils
strong showing Friday and Saturday in
West Yellowstone where she placed
19th and 15th in the U18/U20 combined
field helped her grab the final spot on
the team.
Abby Brazil squeaked in there,
Morley said. Through some consistent
skiing and results throughout these
qualifiers shes been able to make it
happen, which is pretty cool.
In the short period of time spent ski-
ing in her high school career, its pretty
impressive that by her senior year shes
been able to qualify for one of the more
elite and better junior national teams in
the country.
Sam Roubin, a U16 skier, just missed
the cut. He finished one place back in
the overall standings from the three
qualifiers from making the U16 team.
He really was within just a few
points, Morley said of Roubin. In a
competitive field like that sometimes
it comes down to just a couple seconds.
Hats off to him for the season and being
right there.
U14 skier David King has one more
race remaining before he can claim
the sought-after U14 Cup. But Morley

The cup is given to the boys and
girls U14 skiers who accumulate the
most points throughout the qualify-
ing season. U14 is the oldest age group
that cannot qualify for nationals. Ha-
gen won the cup in 2015 before moving
onto nationals as a U16 skier in 2016
and 2017.
Jackson was well represented in the
U12 field as Aurora Stiles placed first in
Saturdays classic a day after finishing
third in the sprint.
Morley will join the trio of qualifiers
in Lake Placid and said he has especial-

they have that capability.

SPORTS BRIEFS
OConnor, Bentlage ski well
Jackson Hole High School Nordic teams
competed in Laramie on Friday and Saturday as
some of their most skilled teammates were in
West Yellowstone, Montana, vying for a spot
on the junior national team. In Laramie it was
Jackson seniors Sarah Bentlage and Eireann
OConnor who had the top results. Both skiers
finished in the top 10 of 50-plus-skier fields
each day. Bentlage followed up a seventh-
place finish Friday with a 10th place Saturday.
Connor placed ninth on each day of racing. On
the boys side Jackson skier Matt Williams
was able to find the top 10. Williams came
in ninth Friday before taking 13th Saturday.
Nearly 150 skiers participated in the weekend
racing. Conditions were warm and wet Friday,
presenting skiers with a challenge. Saturday
cooled off a bit, but the conditions were still
daunting. The Laramie races were the final
events of the regular Nordic season. Jackson
hosts the Wyoming High School Activities
Association State Championship on Feb. 24
and 25 at Trail Creek Nordic Center.
Knori earns first career win
Jackson Hole native Jesse Knori won her first
career Nordic race Saturday in Anchorage,
where the University of Colorado skier was
the fastest among the 5-kilometer classic
racers at the University of Alaska-Anchorage
Invitational. Last week Knori competed at
the U23 World Championships, where she
was often the top American finisher in her
many races. Knori told CU she was tired from
her busy schedule but was happy to be on a
course that was easy on the lungs. Whats fun
about skiing at sea level is that you know as an
altitude athlete you can recover so quickly. And
its really nice to be able to just tell yourself
its a 5-K, so you might as well race it as hard
as you can the whole race, but you definitely
have a couple fights with your mind out on the
course, Knori told the University of Colorado
athletic department. I was just telling myself
to go out and have fun and do whatever your
body can do. It seems to be holding up pretty
well. I just keep telling it that it can rest back in
Boulder. Its definitely been nice to have some
more solidified race results on the college
circuit this time around.
Cache Creek Road closed
The Bridger-Teton National Forest issued a
press release Tuesday asking motor vehicle
operators stay off Cache Creek Road until
further notice. A facility tech attempted to
open Cache Creek Road on Monday but
was unsuccessful. Conditions significantly
deteriorated Thursday, and the snow base
turned to slush that overwhelmed the capability
of a plow on a pickup truck. Despite the road
closure, vehicles did attempt to drive up to the
trailhead over the weekend with many of them
winding up stuck. Only one lane is open to the
Cache Creek trailhead, and it is extremely icy. It
does not allow safe passage for incoming and
outgoing vehicle traffic. The U.S. Forest Service
is unable to plow the road at this point without
damaging equipment or potentially tearing up
the road. Patrollers will still cover the area
and check conditions daily. Cache Creek Road
is closed until conditions improve. People are
still welcome to walk, ski or bike into the area
but need to recognize that there is no parking.
People are asked to not block driveways in the
residential area.
Sailing team seeking sailors
The Jackson Hole Ocean Sailing Team
is recruiting crews of kids and adults to
compete in the April 28 race from Newport,
California, to Ensenada, Mexico. The 70th
annual Newport to Ensenada race is a 125-
mile event typically featuring off-wind sailing
conditions, pleasant weather and abundant
marine life. The Jackson Hole Ocean Team
will provide onshore and offshore training.
A valid passport is required. Gear, clothing
and other needs are available upon request.

Johnson places in the points twice at worlds

Breezy Johnson places
28th in super-G, 15th in
downhill; Stiegler gears
up for St. Moritz slalom.
By Clark Forster
Jackson Hole has two represen-
tatives on the U.S. Ski Team at the
FIS Alpine World Ski Champion-
ships. Ones competition has con-
cluded, while the other waits for her
turn on the slopes.
Breezy Johnson competed in
the speed events and placed in the
points in both super-G and down-
hill. She placed 28th in the Feb. 7
super-G, 3 seconds back of race win-
ner and new world champion Nicole
Schmidhoffer, of Austria.
Johnson was the second-fastest
American behind Laurenne Ross,
who placed 14th.
Johnson competed in her best
event during the Feb. 12 downhill
and was one of four Americans to
place in the top 15. The Victor, Ida-
ho, native placed 15th with a time of
1 minute and 34.49 seconds. Slove-
nian Ilka Stuhec won the race with
a time of 1:32.85 to become the 2017
world downhill champion.
Lindsey Vonn represented the
Americans on the podium with
a bronze medal time of 1:33.30.
Thirty-eight skiers competed in the
downhill.
This was Johnsons first world
championship appearance. The
21-year-old B team skier has just
begun to take off in 2016-17.
Resi Stiegler spent the beginning
of the St. Moritz fortnight compet-
ing in Germany on the European
Cup circuit, where she placed fourth
and second in two slalom races.
Stieglers first race at St. Moritz
was a team competition Tuesday in
which six American men and women
lost a tiebreaker to Canada.
Stiegler will compete in the sla-
lom Saturday before the two-week
championship event that began
Feb. 6 concludes Sunday. This is
Stieglers eighth world champion-
ship appearance.
Stiegler may also compete in
Thursdays giant slalom. The top two
athletes by selection criteria in each
event will get a start, as does the
defending world champion. Ameri-
can coaches will determine today if
Stiegler gets a giant slalom start.

Boston scored three of the
next four goals to cut the Jack-
son lead to 4-3 with 18 min-
utes remaining on the clock.
Five minutes later a little luck
and a lot more skill helped
Hannafin deposit the game
winner on a shorthanded goal.
A late Boston score cut the
lead to 5-4, but Jackson goalie
Nick Krauss and the domi-
nant 2017 Moose defense held
on for the win.
Hannafins game-winner
should have never happened,
said Moose coach Bob Carruth,
who was absent this weekend
to handle his peewee coaching
duties. Moose captain Brian
Chase Wharton closes in on the Boston Tides goal Saturday at Snow King Sports and Events
Center. The Moose win was the teams 20th this season.
Upesleja was calling the shots
Saturday as he took Carruths
place on the bench while re-
covering from an injury.
Carruth later said that his
undersized veteran had no
business being on the ice for
the game winner that netted
him the hat trick and gave the
Moose No. 20.
Well, that would have nev-
er happened if I was coach-
ing, Carruth said. I dont put
5-foot-7 on my penalty kill.
Carruth was thrilled to
know Hannafin was the star
in arguably the biggest regu-
lar-season win the team has
had in the skaters 12 years.
The coach and former Moose
goalie said the circumstances
surrounding Hannafins big

night could not have been
scripted.
To watch [McKenzies] dad
score a hat trick in the 20th
win had to be unbelievable,
Carruth said. You couldnt
make that up.
Krauss stopped 32-of-36
Boston shots to record his
19th win of the year. Sanders
finished with 3 points, and
ted his 12th goal of the season.
Jackson has 20 wins and
nearly a full month before
the next game that truly mat-
ters. On March 10 and 11 the
team welcomes its three Black
Diamond Hockey League foes
to Jackson to battle for the
league championship and the
Joe Casey Cup.
However, there is one
longstanding record that lies
squarely in Jacksons cross-
hairs. The Moose went 25-8-1
in 1999-2000. The big season
was the teams first 20-win
campaign ever before it fol-
lowed up with two more 20-
win seasons in the next three
years.
Jackson has eight games
remaining on the schedule.
A record of 6-2 will give the
2016-17 Moose more wins
than any other team in fran-
chise history.
Hannafin, though, doesnt
seem ready to surrender two
losses.
Theres no doubt in my
mind we can beat anybody
that comes in the building,
he said. We have eight left, I
think we can win 28. Theres
no doubt in my mind we can
win the rest of the season, and
it starts next weekend.
Jackson will travel to Boze-
man, Montana, on Friday and
Saturday for its final regular-
season road and league games
of the year as the Moose set
their sights on 26 wins.

BENCH because of all the things theyve done

Continued from cover
the forward controlled the ball he
looked for an outlet pass to jump start
the Broncs offense.
Although Broncs fans havent seen
much of Armijo and Fairbanks in live
action so far this year, Lunz said the
sophomores performances Monday
reflected the way theyve practiced all
season.
Not only did they play defense and
push the ball up the floor, but they scored
some points that were pretty crucial,
too, Lunz said of the two. Those guys
bring it in practice every day. Theyre
going to be diving on the floor, theyre
going to be battling for rebounds, and
the more of that we get in practice the
better off we all are, and they were just
ready tonight.
Jackson improved to 4-12 on the
season and 1-5 in 4A West play. Green
River dropped to 8-9 overall and 2-5 in
4A West with the loss.
Jackson junior Ian Renkes added
10 points in the Broncs win. Complete

was thrilled to eliminate the goose egg
and said he was even more excited for
his players.
I have never been so happy about a
BRADLY J. BONER / NEWS&GUIDE
win for a group of kids as this one, he
said. Weve talked, I think, probably
every week about how hard they work
and all the things they do. And for
them to get to actually taste success
together as a group, to me personally
it feels really good.
Jackson hosts two 4A contests this
weekend. The Broncs welcome Natrona
(2-14, 1-5) to town Friday before hosting
Kelly Walsh (12-3, 5-1) Saturday.
Jackson is 0-3 versus the two teams
so far this season, but the games pre-
pared Lunz and his team for the week-
end. He said his team has to execute
and carry the lessons from those losses
onto their home court.
With Kelly Walsh you have to score
with them, he said. Theyre pretty
good offensively. Its tough to get stops.
Theyre so patient, they take care of
the ball and theyre pretty efficient. We
have to knock some shots down and
have some things go right for us on the
offensive side.
Natrona plays a similar style as
Green River. They picked us up man,
full-court the whole game. If we just
handle the pressure, well get lots of
transition opportunities.

Grassell, Lady Broncs
keep perfect record
Jacksons boys take
down Cody in Montana.
By Clark Forster
In what is becoming less and less of
a surprise as the alpine ski season con-
tinues, the Jackson Hole Lady Broncs
were once again perfect last weekend
over two races at Red Lodge, Montana.
For the second straight weekend the
high school girls team occupied the top
five spots in Fridays slalom and Satur-
days giant slalom. All while the Jack-
son boys team widened the gap between
themselves and state contender Cody.
Jackson junior Mary Margaret Gras-
sell took down last weeks two-race win-
ner, SJ Huser, for two wins of her own in
Montana. Grassell edged out Huser by
324682 0.16 seconds in slalom before running
away with the giant slalom over Huser
by 2.27 seconds Saturday.
Jacksons boys shared the wins as se-

slalom. The two wins helped the Broncs

three of those being reserved for men. If

the three female spots would be intense.
Kauf is currently third in the coun-

Hunting, fishing reel in big bucks for county

Teton tops for sportsmen

Sportsmen spend about $30 mil-

cording to a new study.
The assessment takes a snap-

$8 million in County 22 and anglers
contributed another $21 million to
the local economy. Other counties as-

Anderson, executive director of the
Wyoming Wildlife Federation.

Lance Letschers work will hang at the Tayloe Piggott Gallery beginning with an artist reception at 9 p.m. Saturday.
This is Thrilling To Hold, one of his new works that will hang at the show.
Letscher film peels back the layers
Who: Lance Letscher
What: Documentary screening and artist
reception
When: 8 p.m. for film screening; 9 p.m.
for reception
Where: Pink Garter Theatre for film screening;
Tayloe Piggott Gallery for reception
How much: Free
Web: TayloePiggottGallery.com
By Isa Jones
A
t first Lance Letscher was not
enamored with the idea of a doc-
umentary about him.
When Sandra Adair, an award-win-
ning film editor, approached Letscher
with the idea of following him as he
created a metal sculpture for her
cousin in Austin, Texas, he wanted to
say no.
I kind of resisted the idea,
Letscher said. Im not a shy person
Im a grown man. But Im also
very private. Im protective of myself,
and it was really difficult for the first
three months to trust them and open
up and to talk.
The resulting documentary, The
Secret Life of Lance Letscher, is less
about Letschers art and more about
the soft-spoken artist who would
much rather let his art speak for him.
Theres a psychological arc that
goes through the movie, Letscher
said. Thats the most important part.
There are some events in my fam-
ily that happened that the film talks
about and shows how those events af-
fected my artwork.
Early in the filming process
Letschers father committed suicide.
The event altered his life, as well as
his approach to his work.
At the time they were filming I
was not doing real good, Letscher
said. I would talk about it and it
was really difficult to talk about.
The art was heavily affected by it. It
changed dramatically. I was able to
articulate the changes and point out
the changes.
The work Letscher created during
that time of grief and healing will be
on display at Tayloe Piggott Gallery,
beginning with an artist reception
at 9 p.m. Saturday. An unfinished rational mind is trying to connect the
version of the still-in-progress docu-
mentary will screen at 8 p.m. Sat-
urday at the Pink Garter Theatre.
Both events are free and open to the
public.
Letschers medium of choice is col-
lage. He collects paper materials from
old catalogues, trash bins, estate
sales or kids textbooks, painstakingly
cutting them apart and gluing them
together.
I started doing collages because
they were quick and I could work
through ideas quickly. Its always
been an emphasis in my life to draw.
I would use drawing to work myself
out of problems. It just blossomed
from there. In an unexpected way it
developed into a voice that contin-
ues today.
His work is intricate and at times
overwhelming. There are endless lay-
ers of images mixed together: shoes to
metal to trees to cut-out cityscapes. It
evokes chaos as well as a calm focus
as your eyes scan to find every image
and thread them together.
That contradiction is what makes
his work special, said Allison Glendin-
ning, gallery manager for Tayloe Pig-
gott Gallery.
When youre looking at this, your
letters or make something make sense
but theres also a feeling that comes
from it as well, Glendinning said.
At first glance it just looks like
chaos, but as you get closer, you see
how methodical Letscher is with
each material and placement. In his
metal pieces even the staples that
hold it together are arranged to cre-
ate a sense of order.
I wonder if theres some sort of
connection between the calm he gets
when putting it together, Glendin-
ning said. Because it seems like all of
this could be arbitrary, but theres also
that feeling that you know it isnt.
Collage artists of the early 20th
century used the medium to high-
light the rise of consumerism and the
chaos of postmodernity. But Letscher
doesnt see his work that way.
I think my work is mostly about
this very strong formal character,
Letscher said. Im really into color
and space and the illusion of space. I
enjoy using formal elements to play
tricks and to guide the eye through
the piece.
Both the documentary and the
exhibit should show people not only
Letschers work, but his process and
personality as an artist.
Every time I look at it I see some-
thing I didnt see before, Glendinning
said. He is very methodical in terms
of waiting for the work to sort of re-
veal itself instead of forcing it, which
is amazing.

T
he Motet is aiming to
funk up Jackson Hole
this weekend.
The funky Afro-beat group
from Denver will bring its
Rocky Mountain brand of en-
ergy to audiences at 9 p.m.
Sunday at the Pink Garter
Theatre. According to front-
man and drummer Dave
Watts, its more than just a
funk show.
Yes, we play funk-in-
spired dance music, but it
is so much more than that,
Watts said. There are a lot
of elements to what were all
about right now.
Watts founded the band in
1998 as Dave Watts and the
Motets. Even though motet
describes a vocal composition
in polyphonic style intended
for use in a church service,
Watts has his own unique
meaning for the word.
I just used the word mo-
tet as opposed to quartet or
quintet or sextet, Watts said.
It was easier to call it a mo-
tet because at that point it
kept it fluid with the different
number of band members.
Today, in addition to Watts,
The Motet, a seven-member band from Denver, will bring its funky dance music to the Pink
Garter Theatre at 9 p.m. Sunday with tracks off its new album, Totem.
the band includes Joey Porter
(keyboard), Garrett Sayers
(bass), Ryan Jalbert (guitar),
Gabe Mervine (trumpet), Lyle
Divinsky (vocals) and Drew
Sayers (saxophone).
Sayers and Divinsky, who
are recent additions to The
Motet, have already had an
impact on songwriting.
We are entirely refreshed
by the new lineup, especially
by Lyle [Divinsky], our lead
singer, Watts said. There
are many reasons why he
is great for us, but the main
thing is his songwriting.
Watts said the band wrote
an entire record of music
without vocals and sent it to
Divinsky to see if he could
write something before he
joined the band or before we
even met the guy. anybody else sing with us at

Lotus prides itself on its live shows,
and you can catch the band Thursday
at the Pink Garter Theatre.
Even if the band cant bring all
seven-plus vocalists on the road,
Lotus opts to loop the vocals, use
playback and treat the audience to
a light show instead.
We dont have a lead singer, and
were all kind of playing instrumen-
tal parts, so theres not a strong
performance aspect in that regard,
Miller said. We like the lights to be
a visual component to that.
He said Lotus has worked with
the same light designer for years
to create a stellar visual and aural
show. The band relies heavily on
improvisation, so it doesnt ever feel
like the band is just hitting play on
a control board and letting the play-
back do the work.
Improvisation makes up a big
part of the show, Miller said. You
get into these moments where we
dont know what is going to happen
next and the crowd doesnt know,
and thats where those magic mo-
ments live.

More Music, Briefly

Shook Twins shake
The Shook Twins take to Town
Square Tavern tonight.
The folk band from Portland, Or-
egon, which features twins Katelyn and
Laurie Shook, will perform at 9 p.m. at
Town Square Tavern.
The pair combine folk, pop and
other genres to create something ac-
cessible and refreshing. It probably
helps that the co-frontwomen share
genetic material and, maybe, the same
instinct for music.
Laurie and I write so well together,
Shook said. We arent afraid to tell each
other, No, I dont like that. When youre
writing with a friend or an acquain-
tance you have this delicate process of
not wanting to hurt anybody elses feel-
ings, even if you dont like a certain line
or chord or whatever. But with your
twin you can just be like, nope. Veto.
And theres no hard feelings because we
both have the same vision for how good
the song could be.

Anastasia Kimmetts work puts a new spin on an old subject: aspen trees. She

What: Opening reception
When: 5-8 p.m. Saturday
Where: Diehl Gallery
How much: Free

By Erika Dahlby
Anastasia Kimmetts intricate
works of aspen trees and woodland
scenes are made out of several small-
er works first.
Depending on the size of the fin-
ished product Kimmett will make
anywhere from two to six smaller
pieces, Diehl Gallery sales manager
Kiera Wakeman said.
She will then cut them into vary-
ing size strips, Wakeman said, and
then takes the strips of paper and
reassembles them to create the fi-
nal piece. What at first appears to
be a beautiful scene of aspen or pine
trees upon closer examination be-
comes a multitude of patterns, col-
ors and textures all working togeth-
er in harmony.
Kimmetts aspen stands are the
centerpiece of Diehl Gallerys latest
exhibition: Anastasia Kimmett: An
Impression of Trees. An opening re-
ception is set for 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday.
The show hangs until April 8.
Kimmetts pieces are created using
a mix of ink, oil pastels, paper, wood
board and occasionally silver or gold
leaf. Intricate details emerge from the
works up close, but people can step
away and see the melded piece.
Sometimes she will do some light
detail work on top of the new piece
with ink, Wakeman said, but more
and more we have seen her continue
to employ the paper for these details,
creating razor-thin tree branches and
delicate birds.
Kimmett has been with the gallery
since 2014. Wakeman said she was
struck by how unique her work was
it takes such a recognizable subject
matter and portrays it in a new way.
Aspen trees are such a beautiful
part of Jackson and we were so ex-
cited to find an artist who did such
beautiful and contemporary work of a
subject matter we all love, Wakeman
said.
Wakemans favorite piece is Les-
lies Grove, a small piece that seems
simple at first, but contains much
detail.
But Wakeman is excited for people
to see Tree and Telephone Line.
Dynamic horizontal lines contrast
the clean white vertical lines of the
Aspens.
There is so much happening in
this piece, yet because of the color
choices, nothing is overwhelming or
out of place, Wakeman said.
A portion of proceeds from the ex-
hibition will benefit Camp Courage
Wyoming, an organization in Dubois
that offers a summer camp experi-
ence for families with children bat-
tling cancer.
Between medical bills, time off
from work and not having proper
medical care available, experiences
like a summer camp are not easily
attainable, Wakeman said. The or-
ganization is so wonderful and makes
such an impact.
Celebrate the appreciation of nat-
ural beauty and help contribute to
Camp Courage Wyoming starting
Saturday.

Theres a winter theme to Jared Sanders solo show at Altamira Fine Art. Each painting, including Ground Work, has snow in it.

Altamira shows Sanders snowy landscapes

Who: Utah artist Jared Sanders
What: New Works exhibit
When: Reception 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday
Where: Altamira Fine Art
By Kelsey Dayton
Jared Sanders recently came across
some of his earliest work, drawings
hed made as a teenager in Utah.
The drawings depicted old barns
on the land near his home. Hed for-
gotten about those drawings, but
they reminded him hed always been
interested in Utahs rural landscape.
Decades later Sanders is known
for his paintings depicting barns
and cows.
His show, New Works, opening
Thursday at Altamira, features five
new pieces in a variety of sizes rang-
ing from 20 by 20 inches to 34 by
92 inches. One is a triptych, mean-
ing the single painting is created on
three separate canvases. Many of the
paintings feature barns and cows, all
rendered in Sanders graphic style.
While Sanders started drawing
barns as a child, it wasnt until about
2007 that he started painting them
as a professional artist, he said. He
always drew inspiration from the
Utah scenery but began his career as
a more traditional landscape painter.
He studied commercial art at Utah
State, which deepened his apprecia-
tion of design and composition.
In the early days a small barn or a
cow might make an appearance in a
painting, but the emphasis was on the
land. Hes not sure when barns and
cows began to steal focus in his work,
but it felt like a natural evolution.
My paintings have always been
very dependent and thought-out
in design, even when the focus was
just on the landscape, he said. As
the barns became a larger subject in
my paintings, I realized the barns
were able to accentuate composition
and the design. When they became
the subject of my paintings, it made
them even stronger and created a
more graphic painting.
Landscape is still an important
component of Sanders paintings.
He almost exclusively paints rural
scenes in which the barn or cow is
the only object in the landscape.
He works in a tonal palette with
muted colors. His color selection is
based purely on a gut reaction, he said.
I just think paintings with that
kind of palette are a little more calm
and soothing, Sanders said.
His new show is winter-themed.
Each painting features snow, which
allowed him to emphasize his tonal
palette. The triptych features a line
of cows in a snow-covered field in the
winter. He liked playing with the
shape of the animals on the horizon
and blurring the white landscape
with the almost-white sky.
Sanders lives in Heber, Utah, but
draws inspiration from across the
West, traveling rural landscapes in
search of subject matter. His work has
been honored with awards and solo
shows across the West. The Buffalo
Bill Center of the Wests Whitney Gal-
lery acquired his painting Landmark
for its permanent collection in 2013.
A reception for New Works will
be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday
during the Jackson Hole Gallery As-
sociations Art Walk.

Interactive puzzle
escape room opens.
By Isa Jones
Y
oure out on a day hike when a
storm blows in. There happens to
be a cabin a few yards ahead. Its
creepy, but you take the risk to get out
of the storm. Little do you know that
a mystery awaits inside, and youre
quickly running out of time to solve it.
Thats the premise of Exitus, an
escape room located downtown across
from The Wort Hotel.
Exitus is the latest in a nationwide
trend of escape rooms that originat-
ed years ago in Japan. You and your
friends are placed in a themed room
(like a cabin in the woods) and have
to solve a series of puzzles to escape
in under an hour. Owner and creator
Brandi Weesen and her husband,
Drew, built Exitus after trying out
some escape rooms in different cities.
A couple of years ago, we did one of
these in Salt Lake City, Weesen said.
We had a great time and immediately
started thinking if this could work in
Jackson. Escape rooms are popping
up like crazy. I was kind of hoping to
squeeze in here, if we werent going to
do it someone would eventually.
So Brandi Weesen set to work. A
lot of escape rooms come with prefab-
ricated puzzles and themes designed
by professional game designers. The
heist at the museum or the bomb that
will blow up a theater. But she want-
ed something more local.
Weve designed both our rooms
from the ground up, she said. Its
been incredibly challenging. We
thought it was going to be the fun and
easy part of this. It turns out Im not a
game designer, but Im learning.
There are currently two rooms
at Exitus. One is called Cabin in
the Woods, which can fit up to eight
people. The other is Fenns Treasure,
which is based on a local legend of
treasure buried somewhere in the
mountains. Cabin in the Woods is less
difficult, but has added spookiness.
At the time of opening this weekend,
only Cabin in the Woods will be player
ready.
Its creepy-ish depending on your
level of tolerance on that thing,
Weesen said.
The room itself looks exactly like
an abandoned cabin. There are dust-
covered windows, an empty snack
container and beer cans. Some faded
photos stuck to a cabinet and a cou-
ple of bare bulbs. It feels shrouded in
mystery, and within a few minutes
of being inside its hard to remem-
ber that you are still in the middle of
downtown Jackson.
What to know about
Exitus
Opening date: Saturday
Cost: $30 per person
Reservations: 734-4472 or ExitusJH.com
Group sizes: Max of 8 for Cabin in the
Woods. Max of 6 for Fenns Treasure
Rules: Group has one hour to solve various
puzzles to escape the themed room.
More information: JHExitus.com
One thing thats important to note
before you gather your friends and
make a reservation is that you might
not solve the puzzle in the allotted
hour time slot.
Most escape rooms have a pretty
low success rate, Weesen said. But
sweating it out and struggling is part
of the game. What people need to do is
communicate with each other.
A crucial fact to remember is that
you are not actually locked in the
room. You can leave at any point and
the experience is monitored from the
outside. Weesen said none of her beta
testers have started to panic or freak
out, but it does happen.
This is more about fun, she said. Here is the full Cabin in the Woods escape room at Exitus. The company opens this w
Putting your phones down and en-
gaging with each other and coming
together to solve a problem.
The cost is $30 per person to play.
Right now Exitus is experimenting
with open rooms, meaning if your
group doesnt max out the occupancy,
you might end up playing with anoth-
er group. You can, however, reserve
the whole room if you want privacy.
While the games are all-ages, children
under 13 maybe wont be very helpful.
Exitus doesnt open officially un-
til this weekend, but online booking
is now available at ExitusJH.com.
Weesen said its perfect for a group of
friends or for a corporate team-build-
ing exercise.
The two rooms currently there will
stick around for a while, but Weesen
hopes to start switching them up ev-
ery six months. She even has some
ideas for Halloween and next winter,
like a Trapped in Tram themed room.
While there are no special skills
needed, it is mentally challenging,
she said, and group dynamics will be
key to escaping.
I think its such a good tool for team
building because you get an idea of who
the leaders are, who follows instruction
well, whos not going to do anything,
she said. Its been really interesting so
far to see the dynamics in there.

Bare Soundz is an opportunity for

audiences to hear the dance as music
and hear us the dancers as musicians
versus seeing the dance as spectacle,
Glover said. They can understand
the musicality behind tap dancing, or
behind my approach to tap dancing.
Dance is normally considered a
visual art form. While its certainly
mind-boggling to watch Glovers feet
move in almost inhuman directions
and speeds, its a mostly aural expe-
rience. His feet are an instrument,

At times it feels like a
whole percussion section
emerges from his bat-
tered tap shoes.
While his approach
and execution elicits the
word revolutionary, Glov-
er insists that hes just
following in the foot, er,
tap steps of a long line of masters.
Im carrying on hopefully a tradi-
tion of tap dancing, versus bringing in
another element to tap dance to make
it relevant or to make it modernized
or what have you, said Glover.
Glover stated that nowadays
theres a thought in dance that ele-
ments need to be mixed to confuse
or infuse different other styles. But
he doesnt think so. To him, dance
is pure.
Its all going to come back around,
he said. I think like everything it is,
what it is at the end of the day, it will
be what it was.
Glover might know what hes
talking about, considering he spent
the last couple of years working on
a part-revival, part-making of of
the famous 1920s musical Shuffle
Along.
Nothing is a bigger nod to the
versus whats needed to
be presented through
someone else for some-
one else, Glover said.
A lot of times for me Im
introverted as far as my
approach personally to
dance. When you have
to choreograph and take
pictures and allow people a visual
that is another approach.
Its an approach Glover is familiar
with. He is the mind, or feet, behind
the Bring In Da Noise Bring In Da
Funk show that turned Broadway on
its head and earned Glover a Tony.
Now, for Bare Soundz, Glover
gets to turn inward once more. He
gets to gather an audience, step on
to the stage and let his feet tell his
story.
Im just doing what it is I was sent
here to do, Glover said. Im not on a
mission, I dont have any personal en-
deavors or goals to change anyones
perception of the dance. I can only
control my thoughts. ... So Im just
happy to be a part of the art form.

f I rated my favorite Batman actors
the way fans and critics like to do
with the various James Bonds, my
top three would be:
Michael Keaton
Christian Bale
Will Arnett. As Lego Batman.
Thats right: Even though Arnett is
voicing an animated, blocky plastic toy,
Id rank his raspy, narcissistic, brave,
vulnerable, alternately heroic and ri-
diculous version of the Dark Knight
ahead of the big-budget, live-action per-
formances of Ben Affleck, George Cloo-
ney and Val Kilmer, among others.
The opening five minutes of The
Lego Batman Movie are funnier and
more original than most entire com-
edies Ive seen over the last few months

cal nature of their relationship. Whats
works on two levels dialogue thatll
keep parents entertained while the
kids marvel at all the cool action and
funny stuff onscreen.
Three years after the wonderfully,
surprisingly entertaining The Lego
Movie (who saw that coming?), we get
a spinoff with Batman front and center,
doing his Batman/Bruce Wayne thing,
rattling about the cavernous Wayne
Manor with only the loyal and pater-
nalistic Alfred (Ralph Fiennes) to keep
him company, brooding over the mur-
der of his parents when he was just a
boy, and caught up in a continuous loop
in which he captures the Joker (Zach
Galifianakis) after an exciting chase,
the Joker escapes and then they do
it all over again.
On the outside, Batman is all blus-
ter. He boasts of having the coolest
toys, shows off his nine-pack abs and
laughs off the notion he needs anyone.
But in the dead of night, when the
Caped Crusader cues up Jerry Magu-

Lonely Knight.
The Joker understands the recipro-

a crime fighter without the ultimate
bad guy tormenting his beloved city
and whats a maniacal supervillain
without a worthy adversary? But when
the Joker tries to get Batman to voice
his hatred, hes crushed to hear the
Batman thinks of him as just another
weirdo bad guy in bizarre makeup who
deserves to be put away for life.
So the Joker vows to get Batman to
notice him and admit his true feelings.
Meanwhile, Alfred and the peppy
Dick Grayson/Robin (Michael Cera)
and the fierce and fabulous Barbara
Gordon/Batgirl (Rosario Dawson) are
trying to get Bruce/Batman to see he
cant go through life alone and needs to
make some human connections.
All of these psychological issues are
dealt with in a clever, funny and sweet
manner. Director Chris McKay keeps
things zipping along, alternating be-

ance of Lego versions of King Kong

Also, Doug Bensons imitation of Tom

The Lego Batman Movie is so self-
referential it practically serves as a trib-
ute to previous Batman movies (and a
certain and quite terrible TV show from
the 1960s). The animation is deceptive-
ly sophisticated, in that the characters
are of course block-shaped toys and
their facial expressions arent exactly
on the level of the latest Rotoscopian-
live-performance-capture, Zemeckis-
Spielbergian-whiz-bang, state-of-the-

are vibrant and gorgeous, the direction
worthy of a top-flight action-adventure
and the performances ...

plastic animation over wooden live ac-
tion any day.

Teton County School District officials decided to fi-

hope to recoup the cost an estimated $300,000
through connection fees down the line.
Its probable that the majority of the cost, if not the
entirety, can be covered using any money the district
saves by being under budget this year. If not, existing
cash reserves could be used.
Assistant Superintendent Jeff Daugherty said the

Family finds a place to live with help of volunteers

Homeowner and Spread
the Love provide home
for mom and 2 sons.
By John Spina
Its funny how a seemingly incon-
spicuous moment can forever alter the
course of someones future.
Just under a year ago Noemi Perez
and her two sons, 12-year-old Ventura
and 5-year-old Dominic, were living
out of boxes on the floor at the Virgin-
ian Apartments.
Last Monday the family finally
moved into secure affordable hous-
ing, available for at least four years,
thanks to a random but growing group
of community-minded volunteers look-
ing to revitalize Jacksons small-town
feel one household at a time.
As their neighbors at the Virginian
were evicted to make way for a renova-
tions last year, Perez scrambled to find
a new home in Jackson, fearful that she
would have to uproot her family and
send her boys back to Mexico to live
with their grandmother as she contin-
ued to work and save money here.
We had nowhere to go, she said.
It was very stressful. I cried enough
when we had to send our dog Char-
lie back to Mexico. I couldnt bear the
thought of not having Dominic and
Ventura with me.
Their fortunes changed while stand-
ing around a folding table dispensing
lemonade in Phil Baux Park.
I call it my magic lemonade stand,
said Wren Fialka, founder of the
Spread the Love Commission, a non-
profit that worked with the Perez fam-
ily to find them stable housing. When
I first started going to some of the
meetings about housing, everybody
was bumping heads. I said, Lets just
go do something and lets see whats
possible. The response from the com-
munity has been truly amazing. Its

Hidden Hollow hopes to

By John Spina
Work on the 168-unit development
at 60 Rosecrans Lane known as Hid-

plans to welcome residents as soon as
next fall.
Construction of the largest devel-
opment in Jackson since Cottonwood
Park will be broken into several phas-

es over the next three years.
We continue to be ambitious,
pushing this along as fast as we can,
project manager Zane Powell said.
We want to get as much done this
summer as possible.
Open Daily 170 North Cache Jackson 733-3595 The phase to begin this week, 1a,

This is an opportunity for us to meet
this demand without having to pro-

townhomes and 135 single-family
apartments in five buildings.

Compass focuses on regionalism

Imagine being able to read a magazine thats all about you.
Thats what the 2017 Jackson Hole Compass is, except the you is actually us: Jackson Hole
and the greater Teton metropolitan area.
Compass is produced by Teton Media Works with content provided by Charture Institute
founder Jonathan Schechter. Its being distributed with this weeks issue of the News&Guide,
which is part of Teton Media Works. Additional copies can be purchased for $2.99 at the

f nothing changes in Jackson Hole and across
the country, sooner or later each and every
one of us will know someone who has been
killed or seriously injured in an alcohol-related
automobile crash.
As of Friday night, when an unlicensed drunk
driver with his headlights off drove in the wrong
lane and hit another vehicle head-on, killing a
longtime resident and putting another in the
hospital, yet another wave of people know the
pain of this senseless tragedy.
Pretty much everyone has been touched by
cancer. Fighting its many forms has been a na-
tional and global effort for decades. The Obama
administration declared eradicating it a moon-
shot mission a costly, long-term venture, but
one that with concentrated effort is not outside
the realm of reality. Already hundreds of thou-

condition once considered unsurvivable.

rogation with law enforcement and
the courts reasoning behind the sup-
pression, Pickett wrote.
The state of Idaho, represented
by Teton County Prosecutor Billie
Jean Siddoway, never objected to the
change of venue for what she called
practical reasons.
But she has objected to the trial
being delayed to next year.
If we have to do this in September
or October, I understand that, Sid-
doway said in court during a hearing
in May. But push-
ing it to July 2018,
thats too far for
the family.
The trial was
originally set to
start this month,
but the court
agreed to a contin-
uance and has not
yet set a new date.
Ohlson Theres no
rush, defense at-
torney Jim Archibald said in court.
We need to do this right. It would be
very unusual to have a death penalty
case tried within a year.
But a potential key witness, Nal-
leys grandfather, is in his 90s. The
shooting happened on his proper-
ty, according to police, and Pickett
agrees that he has a right to be in-
volved in trial.
The court chose Blackfoot, Idaho,
as trial venue because of its a larger
population.
Trial venue is proper in Bingham
County, the order states. It has a
much larger population of 45,269,
is one of the furthest counties from
Teton County in the judicial district,
and although there are similar press
agencies in Bingham County, there
is no evidence that an impartial trial
could not be held there.
Pretrial hearings will continue to
be held in Driggs.

Dustin Child saddled up one of his
horses Monday and rode into the north-

his clients werent a big rainstorm away
from being swept up by a wall of water.
Child, who owns Willow Creek
Horseback Rides, heard that a large
landslide was spotted miles up his busi-
nesss namesake creek, and he went to
see for himself. Riding down the creek
from the Greys River side, Child passed
several small slides triggered by the big
spring melt, then the big one.
Half the mountain came down,
Child said.
To his eye the landslide was as high
as 200 feet in places, covered 1/4 mile of
the Willow Creek canyon and formed a
15- to 20-acre lake thats probably 30 or
40 feet deep. As for the hazard, he didnt
think there was one.
It could possibly could do something

County staff will receive
an hour off for the eclipse
By Allie Gross
County staff can take one hour off,
from 11 a.m. to noon, to watch the Aug.
21 total solar eclipse.
County commissioners voted to send
a letter to elected officials and depart-
ment directors last week authorizing
the deviation from the scheduled work-
day so that staffers can view the rare
event. The board used a section of Teton
County policies that deals with inclem-
ent weather to allow for the temporary
closure of county offices.
In addition to allowing the option
for Teton County employees to view this
unique event, offices and departments
are strongly encouraged to explore
strategies for minimizing any adverse
community impacts that operations
could potentially have during the day of
the event, the letter reads.
Commissioners encouraged staff to
refrain from use of nonemergency vehi-
cles to minimize traffic congestion and
to employ flex or alternative scheduling,
such as a flexible lunch or the day off
with hours made up later in the week.
The letter was discussed at the
countys June 26 meeting, where public
agencies presented plans for how they
will handle the eclipse. Officials who

zoning and parking
Next up are housing
LDRs and affordable
housing regs.
By John Spina
Answers to a list of 18 questions
approved during a specially sched-
uled Town Council meeting June
27 will determine Future zoning
and parking regulations throughout
Jacksons residential neighborhoods.
As part of a new process designed
to focus the councils discussion
about zoning and parking updates,
the planning department came up
with the list to have clear policy
goals before diving into possible so-
lutions.
In looking back at these process-
es, too often we would jump right
into solutions or right into trying to
implement solutions before we ac-
tually have agreed consensus, or at
least agreement by the elected offi-
cials, of what were trying to solve,
Town and County Planning Director
Tyler Sinclair said.
If the goal of town zoning is to
find areas for increased density in
the town, thats a clear identifiable
goal that we can keep coming back
to, Sinclair said. If the goal of
town zoning is to reaffirm or protect
neighborhoods that currently ex-
ist and provide for no change, thats
probably a very different goal.
At this point the council is not
looking to come up with solutions,
but merely to get a feel for the pub-
lics appetite to ensure it is moving
in the right direction.
Density a big question
As for zoning the council will seek
to determine where additional den-
sity is needed and how much more
is appropriate to meet the 2012 town
and county Comprehensive Plans
goal of housing 65 percent of the
workforce locally.
The council will also look to un-
derstand the publics desire to have
any additional density tied to deed
restrictions, if any commercial devel-
opment potential should be added,
any architectural design standards
that should be applied to new devel-
opments and what, if any, pedestrian
improvements should be required
with any new building.
With parking the council must de-
termine what level of service the pub-
lic desires for vehicles and bikes and
how to go about achieving it.
Questions include what use on-
street parking should be designed
for; whether winter overnight park-
ing should be allowed on alternate
sides of the street; what, if any, re-
sponsibility the public has for pro-
viding off-street parking, including
park-and-rides; how large parking
spaces should be; the level of safety
required in terms of how close park-
ing spaces should be to the corner;
and how parking improvements
should be funded and managed.
Though the planning department
collected public comment during two
forums, an open house and an online
survey, the effort was designed to
show the range of opinions through-
out town, not necessarily which opin-
ions were the most popular.
Without receiving specific feed-
back from the public the Town Coun-
cil remains open-minded.
Im ready to start the conversa-
tion by listening, Councilman Don
Frank said. I want to hear from
people who have had time to think
on these issues. The more people we
hear from the more the results will
guided in a responsible way.
Per the comprehensive plan, the
planning department suggested add-
ing density in transitional areas
throughout town.
Doubts about parking idea
While all of the councilors sug-
gested they would not bring any pre-
conceived notions to the discussion,
Councilmen Bob Lenz, Jim Stanford
and Don Frank doubted that alter-
nate street parking would work due to
the expense and difficulty of cleaning
the streets as is.
I would be willing to designate a
residential area as a pilot program
to look at allowing parking on alter-
native sides of the street during the
winter, Stanford said, just to see
if it works and what we can learn
from it.
But Im most looking forward to
strategic park-and-ride planning for
people who are commuting in and
people looking to get around the val-
ley while having a place a leave their
cars, he said.
Interest in park-and-rides
The three councilors also agreed
they were excited to look at the po-
tential for park-and-rides.
I think we have to address park-
and-rides aggressively, Lenz said.
But overall I think we already have
the right tools if we learn to use
them right.
A similar discussion regarding
housing land development regula-
tions and affordable housing regula-
tions is set for Monday.
With Teton County commission-
ers, the Town Council will deter-
mine similar policy questions for
natural resource protections during
a joint information meeting set for
July 17.

By Allie Gross
Two businesses are pioneering a
program that allows them to take
out loans from Energy Conservation
Works to increase energy efficiency.
Were supporting local business by
helping them do more with less ener-
gy consumption, said Phil Cameron,
executive director at Energy Conser-
vation Works. It helps to streamline
their operations, reduce their opera-
tion expenses, and a lot of times it
aligns with the businesss ethic or
mission or principles.
Last week the public energy board
approved loan agreements with Road-
house Brewing and Purple Orange, a
media and public relations firm. Com-
panies repay the loans at low interest
rates on their utility bills.
The Roadhouse loan is financ-
ing solar panels for the roof of its
new brewery on Gregory Lane. Amy
Haverkampf, director of special proj-
ects at Roadhouse Brewing, spear-
headed the effort.
We want to be known for tak-
ing sustainability seriously and
putting that in the forefront of our
projects and how we move forward,
Haverkampf said.
She received a U.S. Department of
Agriculture grant which covered 25
percent of the projects $75,000 price
tag and approached Energy Con-
servation Works about financing the
rest of the project.
At Purple Orange the loan will go
toward an exhaustive retrofit of the
Energy Mitigation Fund.
We want to share the message
about all those opportunities because
we want to get that money invested,
Cameron said.
Similar loans have been available
for residential homeowners for years,
but the board is just now expanding it
to commercial businesses.
Cameron said the new commercial
loan program is one way Energy Con-
servation Works is looking to apply
what its learned from various public
projects to help private businesses,
such as expertise with grant applica-
tions and energy audits.

Thirteen of the 14 wolf packs that roamed on the periphery of the Greater
Yellowstone Ecosystem last year ran into problems with livestock.
Ystone fringe wolves

Last years depredation
numbers were the
highest since lobos
Wyoming reintroduction.
By Mike Koshmrl
A long-running Wyoming Game
and Fish Department refrain is that
wolves that roam far from the Great-
er Yellowstones wild interior are
treading into unsuitable habitat,
where they inevitably kill livestock
and wont desist.
Cattle and sheep frequently clash
with the large canines, the conten-
tion goes, and the wolves end up be-
ing lethally targeted and eventually
wiped off the landscape.
The argument has been used
to justify Wyomings controversial
predator zone, which allows wolves
to be treated as pests and killed in-
discriminately in 85 percent of the
state.
The idea that far-flung wolves
have a taste for beef and mutton
proved accurate a year ago.
Incompatible on the fringe
When wolves establish in those
fringe areas, Game and Fish Wolf
Biologist Ken Mills said, they just
arent compatible, and they dont
persist long-term because of conflicts
with livestock.
All of the fringe packs Pinedale,
Lander, the Cody region they all
overlap with livestock, and they all
had conflict last year, he said. Or if
they didnt, they traditionally did.
In 2016 13 of the 14 packs whose
home ranges marked the boundary
of wolf range in Wyoming were im-
plicated in the deaths of livestock.
All told the 13 packs killed 60 cattle
and 83 sheep. The federal managers
in charge of wolf management last
year gunned down or trapped and
killed 47 fringe pack lobos in retali-
ation, actions designed to stem the
329837
conflict.
COURTESY MAP
Those numbers come from a recent-
ly released U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vice report that summed up Wyoming
wolf activity in 2016. The document is
attached to the online version of this
story at JHNewsAndGuide.com.
The lone pack that stuck to wild
prey a year ago, the Prospect Moun-
tains Pack, roamed southeast of
Pinedale on the flank of the Wind
River Range.
Mills said he has seen no evidence
that the Prospect Mountains Pack
has hung on since an appeals court
ruling returned wolf management to
Wyoming in April.
Livestock bloodshed was not con-
fined to the outskirts of the Greater
Yellowstone region.
Record number of killings
Cattle and wolves clashed as near
to Jackson as Spring Gulch, and in
places like the Snake River canyon
and Gros Ventre River area.
Statewide, 25 wolf packs killed
243 sheep, cattle and horses a year
ago and injured another 27. It was
the highest livestock toll since Ca-
nis lupus was reintroduced to Wyo-
ming in 1995. In response the U.S.
Department of Agricultures Wildlife
Services agency killed 113 wolves
around the state also a record
number and one that amounts to
42 percent of the population outside
Yellowstone.
Mills hope and suspicion is that
the return of wolf hunting will have
the effect of reducing conflict with
livestock. The coming hunting sea-
son and ongoing killing of wolves
in the predator zone will allow
Game and Fish to validate or dis-
prove that hypothesis once again, he
said.
Thats one thing about the del-
isting, relisting: You always get to
test your information and test your
data, Mills said.

The replacement facility, expected
to cost as much as $500,000, will be
built as early as fall.
Another division of DEQ investiga-
tors, in the meantime, will continue
to sample and study Brooks Lake to
determine if it fits the criteria for an
impaired listing. An overload of nu-
trients in the lake, primarily nitro-
gen, causes algae to coat the lake by
late summer, and at times has caused
widespread kills of the resident rain-
bow trout and rough fish. Trout that
live in the lake have steadily become
skinnier over the years, a trend that
could be explained by low-oxygen con-
ditions from too many nutrients in
the water.
A 2015 DEQ study did not conclu-
sively pinpoint the lodges sewage as
the source of the impairment, con-
cluding that a more rigorous, detailed
analysis would be necessary to deter-
mine whats to blame.

Barrasso floats bill
to bar wolf lawsuits
By Mike Koshmrl
U.S. Sen. John Barrasso, of Wyo-
ming, has introduced legislation that
would prohibit any future judicial re-
view that could jeopardize the states
ability to manage its wolf population.
The Hunting Heritage and Environ-
mental Legacy Preservation [HELP] for
Wildlife Act would also bar conserva-
tion groups from using the Endangered
Species Act to litigate management of
Great Lakes states wolves.
The wolf riders are attached to a larg-
er bill that, among other things, funds
and reauthorizes the North American
Wetlands Conservation Act to the tune
of $50 million annually until 2023.
The HELP Wildlife Act promotes
conservation based on sound science
and provides needed protections for
Americas sportsmen, Barrasso said.
Introduced Thursday, the bill would
also reauthorize and fund the National
Fish and Wildlife Foundation Act, Neo-
tropical Migratory Bird Conservation
Act and Chesapeake Bay restoration
programs. It would promote the build-
ing and expansion of shooting ranges
open to the public and clarify bird-bait-
ing rules for waterfowl hunters.
The Defenders of Wildlife labeled the
legislations wolf clauses a poison pill.
Cheney: Nix wage rules
for guides and outfitters
By Mike Koshmrl
Legislation backed by Wyomings
U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney would exempt
companies authorized to do business
on federal lands from having to pay
workers more than $10.10 an hour
and overtime wages.
The Outdoor Recreation Enhance-
ment Act seeks to reverse a 2014
President Barack Obama executive
order that, on paper, affected Jackson
Hole businesses such as hunting out-
fitters and climbing guides.
Cheney, who declined an interview
request, said in an emailed statement
that her endorsement is part of her
continued work to repeal burdensome
rules that threaten Wyoming jobs and
our way of life.
The Outdoor Recreation Enhance-
ment Act will serve to protect our local
businesses by rolling back an Obama-
era policy that threatened the jobs
of Wyoming guides and outfitters,
Cheney said. Left standing, this rule
would have a negative impact on Wyo-
mings outdoor industry.
Rep. Chris Stewart, of Utah, intro-
duced the bill to the U.S. House on June
2. A similar version introduced in 2015

Outfitters max out
scenic tour boat limit
By Allie Gross
High water means the Snake River
has been reaching the limit for its sce-
nic float capacity, and outfitters say its
costing them business.
A maximum of 45 scenic boats are
allowed to float from Wilson to South
Park each day. When the water runs
fast and high in the canyon, outfitters
divert more guests to scenic floats, opt-
ing to take families with children to the
safer scenic stretch.
The influx pushes the scenic boat ca-
pacity to its limit. Mad River Boat Trips
Theres a reason we put a cap on it,
to protect the resource and protect the
experience, Ashworth said.
Still, outfitters say the water remains
high and is hurting business.
There are families that have come to
Jackson to be on the river that are not
able to do so, on this stretch anyway,
Bess said.
This is the third season the county
has been on charge of permitting on
that stretch of the river, per the 2014

BOAT INSPECTIONS
Continued from 17A
Not only is the stop beneficial to the
health of the parks waterways, its
also a state law.
The park stations one in Moose
and one in Moran are open sev-
en days a week from 7:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. Even if you went through
the day before, or even earlier in the
day, you have to stop. You might not
need a full front-to-back inspection,
but you at least have to talk with the
inspectors.
Every single time you pass an open
station you have to stop, Incelli said.
People with more complex boats or
who have visited high-risk waters may
have longer inspections, but most in-
spections take only a few minutes.
Its a quick stop, Incelli said. Its
not going to take very long.
If a station is closed its the boat-
ers responsibility to seek one out or
wait until the following day. At the
very least its is the boaters duty to
keep boats drained, clean and dry.
Boaters heading into the park
must have a park boat permit and
a state of Wyoming aquatic invasive
species decal.
Boat permits can be purchased at
the visitor centers at Moose, Jenny

The reason inspectors are so thor-

Arndt was at center of Holes food movement

Businessman,
volunteer
remembered after
fatal car crash.
By Leonor Grave
Those who knew longtime
valley resident Robert Arndt
remember him as a prag-
matic businessman, a good
listener, a level-headed and
empathetic friend.
When he wasnt working,
he loved horseback riding
and spending time outdoors,
and his passion for sustain-
able food practices perme-
ated his personal and profes-
sional life.
Arndt was killed in a au-
tomobile collision Friday
night. He was 53.
His wife, Melanie Harrice,
who was in the car with him,
survived and is recovering
from injuries at St. Johns
Medical Center.
He is also survived by his
mother, Virginia Arndt; his
three brothers, John, Peter
and Stephen; and his moth-
er-in-law Helena Harrice,
88, who lives in Kelly near
his and Harrices home.
Arndt was born April 11,
1964, in Massachusetts and
lived in Dover, Massachu-
setts, until 1976 when he
moved to Southport, Con-
necticut.
He graduated from St.
Lawrence University in
New York with a degree in
business.
He moved to Jackson with
his college sweetheart Har-
rice, where they purchased
a small all-natural grocer
and bakery, Harvest Foods,

in downtown Jackson. They
renamed it Jackson Whole
Grocer and transformed
it into the leading natural
foods market in Jackson.
After seven years they
sold Jackson Whole Grocer,
and Arndt moved on to new
pursuits, traveled and had
the chance to spend more
time with family.
Though he was the young-
est of four brothers, his sib-
lings often looked to him for
guidance and mentorship.
John, his oldest brother,
said that their childhood
was spent in a rambunctious
household, with lots of ami-
cable punching and banter.
ANGUS M. THUERMER JR. / WYOFILE
He developed an incred-
ible sensitivity to people
through that, he said.
When their father died
of Alzheimers, John Arndt
said, his brother was a sup-
portive figure in the family,
and when John started his
own business in California
he counted on his brother
as a mentor to guide him
through negotiations and
questions.
We have a very large
family and everyone feels
the same about him, John
Arndt said. A welcome face
in a room and a welcome
voice in a conversation.
Before he moved to Arizo-
na and got interested in the
sustainable food business,
Arndt and his brother Ste-
phen founded the manufac-
turing company Peel Away
in Connecticut. Stephen was
his business partner in the
80s before Bob moved out
West.
He was a mentor to me,
to his other brothers and to
many in the community,
Arndt said.
Many of his memories
of Arndt revolve around
laughter and his dry wit.
He remembered that when
he came to visit Arndt and
Harrice last winter in Kelly,
they would laugh about their
poor carpentry skills as they
worked on projects.
This unusual combination
of empathy and business-
savvy made Arndt a strong-
hold in the valley commu-
nity. Carol Mann, Arndts
longtime friend, neighbor
and business counsel, saw
this in his private and pro-
fessional lives.
He was a visionary, she
said. He had a busy and
bright mind, and he wanted
to impact the well-being of
people in the valley as well
as upgrading the lives of his
employees.
Arndts untimely death,
Mann said, serves as a wake-
up call to not take anyone or
anything for granted.
Arndt was always looking
for new ways to be involved
in the community in mean-
ingful ways, which placed
him right at the center of
the movement to bring or-
ganic, healthy food practices
to Jackson. His community
involvement also led him to
serve on the Teton County
Integrated Solid Waste and
Recycling Advisory Board.
Until his death, Arndt
served as president of Teton
Toastmasters, an organiza-
tion dedicated to helping
people improve their lead-

as president Teton Toast-

the first time as a Distin-

Anne Fish, who serves as
vice president of education
and membership, said his
leadership was instrumental
in the clubs growth.
He was just such a breath
of fresh air for any organiza-
tion, she said. He brought
a lot of wisdom and a calm
spirit and positive vibe to
our meetings and to our club.
Watching him lead was
a lesson for me in patience

Andy Heffron, former

described Arndt as gener-

FATAL CRASH
Continued from cover
with non-life-threatening injuries.
Arndt and Harrice were traveling
eastbound toward Jackson when the
collision occurred.
Isla-Mejico was arrested on the
scene after failing a field sobriety test
and blowing 0.10 into a breathalyzer,
despite a very weak breath sample.
He was then taken to St. Johns Medi-
cal Center for a blood test. The results
are pending.
Isla-Mejico is being held in the
Teton County Jail on $500,000 bond,
charged with aggravated vehicular
homicide and DUI causing serious
bodily injury, which the court referred
to as aggravated assault and battery.
Along with the felonies Isla-Mejico
is charged with several traffic viola-
tions, including driving without a
license, driving without headlights
turned on, failure to maintain his
lane and open container.
A criminal past
In court Monday, Teton County
Prosecuting Attorney Stephen Weich-
man said Isla-Mejico has a lengthy
criminal past.
He has enough no insurance, no
drivers licenses, at least one fleeing
the scene of an accident, driving with-
out privileges over the last several

FAMILY
Continued from cover
all started with the lemonade stand.
Though Fialka has run the Spread the Love Com-
mission for years, it largely focused on providing
goods to homeless communities in larger cities like
Denver, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. But dur-
ing a housing march last July, Fialka heard families
speak about their struggles here in Jackson and de-
cided to refocus her efforts closer to home.
Unsure of exactly how to help, Fialka started by
hosting a weekly lemonade stand at Phil Baux Park
to raise money and awareness for the cause.
While the money helped, what families like the
Perezes really needed was a house. As Noemi Per-
ezs search for a new home stretched from days into
weeks, she began to consider the possibility of send-
ing her boys back to Mexico.
But I felt in my heart that something good was
going to happen, she said. I truly believed it, even
during the hard times, because we had such amazing
people around us.
The next day, just one day before Ventura and
Dominic were scheduled to leave on a bus headed to
Mexico, Jackson homeowner Jessica Chambers and
her husband, Reed, came to the lemonade stand and
mentioned they had an unfinished basement that,
with some renovation, could be used to temporar-
ily house the family until the winter. By themselves,
however, they were struggling to find the time or RYAN DORGAN / NEWS&GUIDE

money to remodel the space and make it livable.
A lightbulb flashed above Fialkas head.
Immediately she began reaching out to friends in
search of volunteers to help in the renovation. Within
a couple of days she had a crew of volunteers, a num-
ber of businesses willing to donate materials and a
plan to move forward.
Though many of the volunteers were far from
skilled laborers, everyone did as much or as little as
they could.
Jackson Lumber donated drywall and wood floor-
ing. Carpenters volunteered time. Friends painted
and sanded. Neighbors offered the use of their trucks.
Others donated beds, refrigerators, furniture and
clothing. Some simply left a check to help pay for food
and other necessities.
This is a win-win for everybody, Chambers said.

Those planning on viewing the Aug. 21 eclipse should have proper eyewear.
Disposable but effective glasses are being sold at stores throughout the valley.
Protective spectacles
are a must for eclipse
Temporary blindness is
a concern; safest way
to look is indirectly.
By Kylie Mohr
Your sunglasses wont cut it for
watching the Aug. 21 solar eclipse.
Teton County Public Health offi-
cials, local doctors and eclipse coordi-
nators are warning visitors and locals:
You need protective eyewear to watch
the astronomical event.
Your sunglasses do not do a thing,
said Rachael Wheeler, the Teton County
Public Health response coordinator.
Looking directly at the sun during
the eclipse can cause some potentially
lifelong problems, like a loss of vision.
Thats one of our biggest concerns.
Sometimes vision can come back. But
if you look too long, it might not.
The safest way to look is indirect
viewing, Wheeler said. Look at the
shadow moving.
Teton County Eclipse Coordinator
Kathryn Brackenridge said that during
a 1999 eclipse in England, surround-
ing hospitals and dispatchers had 2,500
phone calls reporting blindness and saw
64 people with eye injuries.
Youre better off not looking at the
sun, unless its during the 2 1/2 minutes
of totality, when the moon completely
blocks out the sun.
That is the safest time, Wheeler
said.
But the Catch-22 is this: In order to
know totality is occurring, youll need to
sneak peeks at the sun before its fully
covered by the moon.
Prevent blindness
Eye damage caused by looking at
the sun occurs on the retina, or the
back of the eyeball, where the eyes
lens projects light. It can be called so-
lar retinopathy if youre looking at the
sun which concentrates the suns
rays or eclipse retinopathy if youre
looking at an eclipse.
Eclipse retinopathy can be imme-
diate and permanent, immediate and
reversible, or delayed and progressive,
depending on the circumstances of the
exposure, local pediatrician Travis Rid-
dell said.
Signs include bad vision, blind spots,
disruption or tinting of color perception,
disruption or distortion of shape percep-
tion and light sensitivity.
Theres no effective medical treat-
ment. But if you want to look, there
are several ways to minimize retina
damage.
Youve probably seen the disposable
eclipse glasses around town. Their ef-
ficacy hasnt been fully tested because
theyre a relatively new contraption.
331106
Brackenridge advised consumers
BRADLY J. BONER / NEWS&GUIDE
to look for certification to make sure
what they purchase is up to snuff
not just a tourist trap. Effective glass-
es need be rated as having an optical
density of at least 5. You can look for
a marking that says ISO 12312-2, an
international standard for safe direct
viewing of the sun.
If youre a welder, youre in luck.
Commercial welders glasses that are
shade 14 or darker provide sufficient
protection.
Children have a higher risk of symp-
toms with exposure.
Childrens eyes are much more sen-
sitive, Wheeler said. We are recom-
mending they stay inside during the
eclipse. If theyre outside, they need to
be able to keep their glasses on.
The Jackson Hole Astronomy Club
donated 3,000 glasses to Teton County
School District to pass out to students
while school was still in session.
Public Health staff say theyll work
with childcare facilities that plan to be
open during the eclipse. Theyll advise
them to keep younger children inside.
Their retina is clear and still devel-
oping, Wheeler said. They also wont
even remember it.
You looked now what?
If you think youve damaged your
eyes by looking at the sun, first things
first: Stop. Then, find a dark room and
rest your eyes. See an eye specialist
sooner rather than later testing
can be done to determine the extent of
damage.
Although it takes several seconds of
direct sun exposure to cause solar reti-
nopathy, that exposure is cumulative
over time, Riddell said. Even looking
at the sun for a fraction of a second can
cause damage, if done repeatedly during
the two-plus hours when the sun will be
partially blocked during the eclipse.
If youve looked too long and lost your
vision, Wheeler said you need to try to
be patient.
People are encouraged to sit tight
and wait for it to pass before they
panic and before they call emergen-
cy services, she said. Obviously we
dont want them to drive themselves
to the hospital. That might not even
be a possibility.
And if calls arent going through to
911 cell towers might not work be-
cause of the influx of visitors try tex-
ting 911 instead.
Vision often reappears, but theres no
guarantee.
Riddell said that while data is lim-
ited, in one case series with four pa-
tients, three had recovery of normal
vision within one to three months. One
patients vision remained affected one
year later.

Patagonia River Ranch, consisting of approximately 500 acres, is a spectacularly beautiful guest ranch located at the base of the Andes with a worldwide reputation for ex-
cellence. A two hour flight by jet from Buenos Aires delivers you to Chapelco Airport and then a short 25 minute drive from the airport puts you at the gate of the ranch.
The ranch is situated in the very center of the most prolific 50-mile stretch of fishing water on the Chimehuin River, and includes over a half mile of river frontage. Pristine
tree-lined roads, vegetable gardens, lavender fields and rose gardens surround the native rock and timber lodge which reflects old-world Argentinean architecture. The busi-
ness is both stable and profitable, serving the dynamic market of a fly-fishing and adventure oriented clientele, on the most exclusive level.

Numerous options are available for ownership of Patagonia River Ranch and the ownership benefits are substantial. For more information, please contact me to

Gun-free zones: Someone did

shocked that she forgot, Schultz said.
She had it in her bag for the trip and
forgot to take it out. The Etna woman,
who was flying to Dallas, wasnt cited
because she convinced police that she
genuinely didnt mean to have the gun
in her carry-on.

LOOKING BACK

45 years ago ...

High school senior Rusty Scott won
the Jackson Hole Cycling Clubs 12-mile
bike race around South Park Loop on a
new ultralight French racing bike with 10
gears. The Jackson Hole Guide reported
that the bike had rat trap pedals, which,
it is said, can increase ones pedaling ef-
ficiency as much as 30 percent.

More camps coming

Two Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard
Club skateboard camps are coming up.
The first runs July 13-14 and the
second July 26-27. The co-ed camps cost
$199 and are hosted at skate parks around

safe experiences on their boards and
send them home a little better at
dropping in or pulling an ollie than
when they started.
The campers already have a leg
up on LaPier, who didnt get into
skateboarding until he was in his
20s. But as an older and wiser men-
tor he knows getting comfortable
both on the board and in the park
is crucial.
You only get one chance at a first im-
pression, and for a lot of these athletes
this is their first and second time with
instruction, LaPier said. So its really
crucial to have a good, safe first time.

The goal for 11-year-old Caleb Lun-
de was to learn a pop-shove it, a move
that had Lunde jumping into the air
while his board turned 180 degrees
under him.
I can almost do it, but I hurt my
foot, Caleb said. This is my first time
here, and so far its really, really fun.
The other skaters were just as en-
thusiastic about their moves, even if
it was just learning to turn. They all
brought boards plastered with pro
names such as Element and Bird-
house. Like any real aspiring skater,
all idolized the legends.
I like Tony Hawk, said Kai Mc-
Bride, 7. He made that one video
game I play on my moms phone.
Cooper Jackson, one of the young-
est campers at 6 years old, already
loves the skate park. He was eager
at the camp, rolling around and drop-
ping off ledges like the bigger kids.
When you go to the skate park
theres always someone who helps you
get better, Cooper said.
The idea, LaPier said, is for kids
like Cooper to be confident in a skate
park environment.
We have a lot of kids who have a
skateboard but have never really been
to the park, he said, or have been
and are really intimidated. So we
have guys pushing on the flat bottom
and learning to stop and turn, and it
gives them a safe space to learn.
Thats exactly what brought 9-year-
old Kyler Egenberger to the camp:
more time on his board and more time
in the park.
I came to learn more stuff and
have more time to skate, Kyler said.
I never get to skate at home.

Striped coralroot orchid gets its name
from the branched and knobby underground

poppies, which usually live two years
before they disappear and need to be
replanted.
Oriental poppies are big plants
that do quite well in Jackson Hole
flower gardens if they are grown in
full sun and well-drained soil. In fact,
sometimes they might actually do too
well. In a few years a vigorous plant
growing in loose soil can send out
feet of underground roots from which
to sprout new plants. One Oriental
poppy clump could possibly spread
up to 3 feet across.
If you feel your oriental poppies
are getting too massive or crowded,
its possible to divide them. The pop-
pies should be at least 3 years old be-
fore you attempt to split them.
The best time to divide these ro-
bust plants is when they begin to go
dormant after flowering. Yes, thats
right: Oriental poppies go dormant.

striped coralroot orchids to verify that.
It starts in midsummer. The foli-
age of these spectacular poppies goes
into hideous decline and looks really
ratty by August, when the leaves turn
yellow and then eventually brown up
and die back.
If you decide to divide: Water your
poppies well the night before and
have their new planting place ready.
You will have to dig deeply with a
sharp spade to get to the bottoms of
the white fleshy taproots that look
like skinny carrots.
Smaller clumps can be cut out of
the margins of the poppy stand, or
the entire mass of plants can be lift-
ed. Look for logical divisions based
on how the roots separate. Pull them

apart with your hands, making sure
that up is up by leaving some of the
leaves attached.
Try not to handle the roots too
much because they are fleshy and
break easily.
Dont be surprised if some poppies
sprout back in the spring in the same
place where you dug them up. I have
dug down a good 12 inches and still
had plants return from the root tips
that I inadvertently left behind.

The presentation marked the 60th anniversary
of the associations 1957 launch in Grand Teton
and Olympic national parks.
Since the very beginning, [the Student Con-
servation Alliance] has been about partnerships,
teamwork and banding together to achieve some-
thing greater than yourself, founder Liz Putnam
said in a press release. Service to nature and
empowering youth are among our most noble call-
ings, and thats why its so rewarding to return to
the Tetons and honor these deserving medal re-
cipients.
In 2011 Grand Teton National Park, the Grand
Teton National Park Foundation and Teton Sci-
ence Schools joined the association to launch the

opportunities in the National Park Service and

Petervary
starts race
2 days late,
finishes 5th
Victor cyclist beats more
than 185 who started
before him on bike trek
from Banff to Mexico.
By Clark Forster

In his first five Tour Divide moun-

tain bike races, Jay Petervary set the
race record three times. For his sixth
2,745-mile trek from Banff, Canada,
to the Mexican border at Antelope
Wells, New Mexico, Petervary want-
ed to soak in the
scenery and not
focus on speed.
He did that by
starting the race
just over 46 hours
after his competi-
tors. He wound
up placing fifth in
a field of over 190
racers, despite
Petervary the late start.

As soon as the first whistle blew Sat-
urday, the Jackson Hole Juggernauts
exploded into the lead.
Jam after jam the hometown roll-
er derby team took lead jammer and
racked up points against the Junction
City Roller Dolls, of Ogden, Utah. Ten
minutes into the bout they had taken
an almost 40-point lead on their home
track in the Snow King Sports and
Events Center.
By halftime the score was 117 to 30,
and by the end the Juggernauts had
taken down Ogden 238 to 80.
We played together, Erin Tammy
Gunn Landry said of the win. We got
into a rhythm and created a lot of holes
so our jammers didnt have to do so
much work.
The holes the blockers created are
why the team racked up so many points.

team has worked on switching from de-

Diaz, Chorney 1st at Fourth of July 10K

A total of 147 runners from 19
states compete in annual event.
By Clark Forster
Independence Day was met with speedy times at
the Fourth of July 10K.
Thirty-six runners posted sub-8-minute mile
paces, led by race winners Matt Chorney and Sa-
mantha Diaz.
One week after winning the Wrun for Wray
Grand Targhee Hill Climb, Diaz cruised to another
convincing victory with a time of 37 minutes and
22 seconds. Her 6:02 pace placed her third overall,
behind Chorney and Robert Palmer.
Chorneys time of 33:34 beat Palmer by 2:19. Fol-
lowing Palmer (35:53) were Michael Lutz (38:11), Jo-
seph Sipiorski (39:07) and Andy Ringholz (39:12) in
the mens field.
Following Diaz in the womens field was runner-
up Bianca Jackson, who finished her 6.2 miles on
Fish Creek Road in 40:02. Mariah Bredal (43:37)
placed third, followed by Maria Espinoza (44:58) in
fourth and Millie Peck (45:43) in fifth.
All five women placed in the top 19 of the overall
field. Rounding out the womens top 10 was Kelly
Milligan (44:59), Suzie Hullman (47:48), Carey Duda
(47:59), Barrie Margi (49:01) and Julia Couch (49:17).
The six through 10 spots in the mens field were
taken by Mike Evans (39:44), Brendan McDermott
(40:32), Nick Enthoven (40:58), Will Pryor (41:40) and
Daniel Gibeau (42:38).

Jimmy Hessler, seen here last summer, and longtime friend and teammate Miguel Cortes partnered with the Doug Coombs
Foundation to offer a nine-week soccer camp that teaches soccer skills but also life skills, friendship and integration.
Camp hones soccer and life skills
Around 70 kids join
program thats in its
second season.
By Tristan Wagner
For Jimmy Hessler and Miguel
Cortes running the Community Soc-
cer Camp is about much more than
soccer.
Its a metaphor for life, Cortes
said, juggling a ball at his feet. Were
out here trying to teach values, pri-
orities, discipline and boundaries to
these kids through soccer.
Since June 19 Hessler and his team
of coaches teammates from college
and friends made in the soccer com-
munity have been directing a camp
of around 70 kids as young as 7 and
as old as 15.
Thats the hardest part and the
best part, Cortes said. New kids
keep showing up every day.
Last summer he and Hessler part-
nered with the Doug Coombs Founda-
tion to hold the eight-week camp as a
way to serve the youth population of
Jackson that just needed something
to do when school was out of session.
Growing up as a Latino immi-
grant in Jackson is really hard, es-
pecially during the summers, Cortes
said. When I was their age I had an
option to stay home or go work with
my mom.
Other summer camps sports-
related and otherwise exist in the
valley, but many are too short or too
expensive to sustain kids over the
course of the summer.
This year the Community Soccer
Camp collected all of the money for
coaches, field time, insurance and jer-
PETERVARY
Continued from cover
of the mountain towns and sometimes
even sit down to eat, a luxury he
couldnt afford in his previous five Tour
Divide races.
I just wanted to embrace those ex-
periences, he said. I enjoy it no matter
what, but it takes away from that full
enjoyment when youre really focused
on time. Everythings a rush. I dont sit
down to have meals. Im in and out of
the store. Im eating while Im riding.
Theres no standing around. Im always
moving forward.
Petervary celebrated his 45th birth-
day in his final week of racing. However,
seys through independent fundrais-
ing and a small registration fee.
For $50 campers receive a team
jersey and five days of soccer a week
for five weeks, adding up to around 75
total hours of soccer.
Monday, Wednesday and Fri-
day are our practices, Hessler said.
We usually run them through some
stretches, a technical warm-up, a vari-
ety of drills, and then we scrimmage.
Saturday and Sunday mornings
are reserved for games, where camp-
ers are sorted by team and play in a
miniature league that lasts the dura-
tion of camp.
It gives some of the more serious
campers a competitive aspect, Hes-
sler said, and some of the younger
ones a chance to do the fun part and
play actual soccer.
The coaching staff plans to start
hosting free one-on-one training ses-
sions a few times a week to help fur-
ther the soccer skills of the most moti-
vated campers.
Seven-year-old Natalie Montes
Chavez, the youngest camper, said
she fits right in with her older peers.
We play a lot of fun games, she
said. I love coming here.
Karoline, Natalies 10-year-old sis-
ter, came to camp last year and plans
on coming for the next five summers.
Soccer teaches you a lot, she
said. Plus, feet are way better than
hands.
Although the campers are bursting
with enthusiasm, channeling their
energy into productive habits can
prove a considerable challenge.
Im 20 years old, and Im the one
running this, Hessler said. Its hard
to get the kids to respect us like they
would adults, to realize that we are
he was hardly taking it easy.
I rode 23 hours, he said. I was try-
ing for 24, but I woke up late that day.
Its not the first time Ive challenged
myself to do that because Ive been on-
route before on my birthday.
His stops were often undetermined.
They were meant for sleep, and he
didnt care where that sleep came.
At some point within a 24-hour peri-
od Im going to sleep a little bit, he said.
Sometimes I sleep an hour and some-
times I sleep up to four hours. I sleep
wherever Im at. I sleep in the dirt. It
doesnt matter.
Petervary loved every minute of his
16 days of mountain passes, hike-a-
bikes, downpours and reroutes.

see that they should listen to us be-
cause were here for them, that they
need to trust us because were doing
our best to help them.
On Friday morning one camper ar-
rived a few minutes late.
Eric, what time is it? Cortes
asked.
Im late, I know, Eric said.
What happened?
I overslept.
Whose fault is that?
Mine.
OK. Go get warmed up.
Every little interaction of that sort
helps imbue campers with habits Hes-
sler and Cortes hope will propel them
to real-world success.
What were trying to do really is
expand from the soccer field and af-
fect them in other areas of their lives,
too, Hessler said.
Hessler hopes that life habits of
that sort will lead the young campers
to college and beyond.
The goal is to be around and to be
in these kids lives until we see them
graduate from high school and go to
college, Cortes said.
Amid learning lessons of respect,
hard work and discipline the campers
get to enjoy the beautiful game, some-
thing Hessler makes sure they dont
take for granted.
I love soccer, he said. The fact
that I can be coming out for three
hours a day or more and have a ball
at my feet, whether its coaching or
playing or showcasing a move, thats
a beautiful thing.

At times you become very euphoric,
he said. When youre in the middle of
nowhere and all you have is you and
your bike, youre like, This is amazing.
Im truly appreciative of what I can do
and how lucky I am to be here. Those
feelings happen several times through-
out the event.
Petervary finished his ride June 27.
He flew back to Banff the next day,
picked up his van and drove home.
He plans to compete in the race in
2018. Hes unsure when hell stop.
Maybe Ill stop at 10, he said. But

SPORTS BRIEFS
Cache Creek run is Saturday
The Teton Mountaineering Cache Creek Trail
Run will be held Saturday for the 37th time.
The race covers approximately 11 miles, 18
kilometers, in the Bridger-Teton National For-
est. The race begins at 8 a.m. in the upper
Snow King Resort parking lot. From there the
course proceeds east, up Cache Creek, then
climbs up Game Creek Divide to an elevation
of 7,400 feet and down Game Creek to the
south and west. Total elevation change is
roughly 3,000 feet. Two water stations are
provided along the course. However, due to
the backcountry location and rugged nature

pend on these stations as their sole supply of
water and should bring their own. To register

cost is $35.

tion will be awarded as a Duet point, which
can be redeemed as cash. Additionally, from
Monday to Sept. 30, all passengers will ride
for free. Drivers will be paid based on the
carpool distance. Compensation from Victor
to Jackson is approximately $6. To learn how

Giants 3-0 in conference, rack up six wins

Jackson grabs AA
West lead with
three wins over
Evanston.
By Clark Forster
Giants bats propelled
Jackson to two wins over
Evanston before stellar pitch-
ing from Quentin Bruno gave
the team a sweep and a 3-0
start to AA West play.
The three games versus
Evanston began a string of
seven home games for the Gi-
ants, when Jackson improved
to 26-18 on the season with
six wins and one loss.
Jackson ran up 20 runs
on 15 hits in the June 27 se-
ries-opening 20-7 win versus
Evanston one night before
the home team hit safely 14
times en route to a 8-7 win.
In the second half of the
June 28 conference double-
header Jackson was able to
muster just one hit. But Bru-
nos complete game, three-hit
shutout helped Jackson to a

Madison. Gus Armijo got the win in relief.
5-0 win over Evanston.
We only got one hit but
we were able to manufac-
ture walks and stolen bases,
Jackson manager Jason Hug-
gins said. We had a lot of
team at-bats. Its something
weve been stressing lately.
If we get guys at second or
third with less than two outs,
we give ourselves up and get
that run in. We did really well
with that in game three.
Jackson drew four walks
on the day and stole two bas-
es, and Evanston recorded
two errors to help keep Gi-
ants runners on the base
paths. Aaron Villa recorded
Jacksons only hit of the day
and knocked in two Giants
base runners.
The wins put Jackson atop
the AA West standings with
six conference games remain-
ing. Huggins knows the wins
have his team one step closer
to a second straight No. 1 seed
at the AA state tournament.
For us to take three, that
sets us up well, he said. We
gotta take two or three from
Casper and the same versus
Rock Springs. It took a lot of
pressure off going 3-0.
Jackson picked where it
left off against Orem, Utah,
on Thursday as Anthony
Bleggi pitched the Giants to a
8-0 win. Jacksons Jon Fisher
hit his second home run of the
week in the win as the future
Gonzaga Bulldog went 2-for-3
with 3 RBIs.
Jackson returned to Gi-
ants Field on Friday, where
the team picked up its fifth
straight win after trailing
Madison, Idaho, 8-3 early in
the game.
After an eight-run second
inning from Madison, Jackson
recorded two runs in the sec-
ond inning, three in the third
and six runs in the fourth and
eventually won 15-9. Villa fin-
ished the game 4-for-5 with 4
RBIs, and Clayton Campbell
continued a big week at the
plate with 3 RBIs.
Gus Armijo got the win on
the mound for Jackson after
pitching 4.2 innings in relief
and allowing no earned runs.
Jackson dug itself in an-
other hole in Saturdays game
versus the Billings [Montana]
Halos. But this time the Gi-
ants couldnt climb out. Bill-
ings jumped out to a 13-0 lead
and won the game 13-7.
Jackson rounded out its
winning week Sunday with
a 7-2 win over Green River.
Evan McHugh and Matt El-
lingson led Jackson with 2
hits and 2 RBIs apiece.
Jackson will play at Cody
tonight in a doubleheader
before the team heads to
Billings on Thursday for six
games over four days at the
Halos Tournament.

Berning tops 37th Big Hole Challenge bike race

16-year-old Peacock
leads junior riders,
takes 2nd overall.
By Leonor Grave
Twenty-five participants took
part in the 20th annual Big Hole
Challenge and Duathlon, held Sat-
urday in the range south of Teton
Valley, Idaho.
After a 10 a.m. mass start from
the South Horseshoe trailhead, rac-
ers headed up the mountain bike
course first. Jason Berning, of Vic-
tor, Idaho, led racers on the first
loop of the 9.73-mile course, which
gains 1,160 feet of elevation. His
first lap time was 45 minutes and
44 seconds.
The bikers then rode a second lap
on the course while duathletes went
from two wheels to two feet for a
6.13-mile run with 958 feet of gain.
Forest Dramis, of Jackson, led
the duathletes on the first lap with
a bike time of 51:16. He followed up
with the fastest run of the day with
a time of 1:01:43, winning the du-
athlon with a total time of 1:52:59.
On the womens side Rose Hen-
dricks, of Driggs, Idaho, took first
in 2:10:45.
In the mixed-team duathlon Ja-
son and Evan Berning, of Victor,
combined a 45:44 bike time and a
1:07:09 run, respectively, for a first-
place time of 1:52:53. David Saur-
man and Joanie Heisey, of Wilson,
followed with a time of 1:58:33.
In the womens team class Kim
Beres and Jenny Charles, of Victor,
combined for a first-place time of
2:30:24.
Berning, of Victor, led the en-
tirety of the mountain bike race,
finishing with a time of 1:33:39, fol-
lowed by Dan Streubel, of Driggs,
in 1:42:10. Thats an average of 13
mph on a 20-mile course with 2,320
vertical feet of gain.
For the second time in the annual
event there was a one-loop race on
the same course for junior racers.
Also for the second year, Jamison
Peacock, of Jackson, led the men
among the junior riders. The
16-year-old finished the first loop in
48:29, placing him second overall
even including adult racers.
Peacock also rode a second loop,
finishing in 1:43:39 and in third-
place overall.
His 14-year-old sister, Annika
Peacock, rode the first loop with
their father, Brent Peacock. At
1:02:01 she had the fastest female
time overall on the one-loop course.
The event was sponsored by
Peaked Sports and Anytime Fitness
as a fundraiser for the Teton Valley
nonprofits. Net proceeds of the race
went to benefit Mountain Bike the
Tetons to help build and maintain
trails in the Teton region.
The winning racers were award-
ed Nonprofit Bucks $50 to overall
winners and $20 to age-group win-
ners that they can donate to the
nonprofit of their choice.

Mountain Bike Race.
But the weather turned out to be a
highlight of the night.
We had to postpone setting the

said Forest Dramis, executive direc-
tor of JH Cycling and co-organizer
of the race. It was really impor-
tant to us to make sure trail condi-
tions would allow the race to happen
without damaging the trails. But the
weather turned out great.
Forty-eight bikers of all ages and
skills raced 10.4 miles of trail June

with just the downhill sections.
Smith and Dramis expect to keep
organizing the race in the years to
come.
Its a great race, and its the only

valley, Smith said. And its a great
thing to do on a Wednesday night.

Sisters online store sells nice used furniture

Reuse ethic powers
Catch and Release
consignments.
By Jennifer Dorsey
Samantha Danahy is on her way to
becoming a serial entrepreneur.
The professional organizer who op-
erates a business called In Place re-
cently launched another one: Catch
and Release, an online furniture and
home goods consignment shop.
The new business answers a ques-
tion Danahy often hears when help-
ing In Place clients move from one
home to another, particularly when
theyre changing their interior design
or downsizing.
Clients who have contacted me
about moving say, What do I do with
all this stuff? Danahy said. Id
shrug and say, Not a whole lot.
Shrugging isnt her style. In fact,
theres a saying at In Place: If we cant
do it well find somebody who does. In
this case there was no such somebody,
so she and her sister, Brooke Danahy,
stepped in.
Ive learned that moving is one of
the top five most stressful events that
can happen in your life, Samantha
Danahy said. Whenever you can take
something off someones plate in that
kind of situation, that can be a life-
saver for them.
Catch and Release is easy to use
(see box). Its for quality items
nothing broken, stained, poorly made
or way outdated, Danahy said.
We strive to be stylish, and we also
understand that stylish means differ-
ent things to different people, Dana-
hy said. So we will carry a variety of
different styles.
One of the items on the site,
CatchAndReleaseJH.com, last week
was a large rustic farm table for
$1,300.
Thats a beautiful piece of fur-
niture that someone will be glad to
have for a really nice price, Danahy
said. Its not something youre going

Danahy touts the environmen-
tal benefit of consignment sales and
shopping. In fact, Catch and Release
is listed in the online version of the
local Reuse Resource guide.
When a piece of furniture goes from
one owner to another it stays out of the
landfill. Catch and Release custom-
ers can shop locally online, and their
purchases dont have to be wrapped in
packing material and shipped across
the country, Danahy said.
And, with people concerned about
unhealthy chemicals in new products,
it makes sense to buy used things
with the chemicals worn off, she said.
The environmental side is impor-
tant to us, she said.
Danahy is looking to expand be-
yond consignments to make Catch
and Release a site as well for small-
production makers and artists.
We hope to be somewhere where
people go when theyre looking for
cool stuff for their homes, she said.

The bigger space allows the brewery to gener-

a large cooling room and another room dedicated to
barrel-aged beers.
You can really get creative and fun with those,
Alessandro said.
In addition to the four regular releases Road-

dubbed the Grand Traverse Series. This years re-
lease is the Obscura Imperial IPA, with black cur-
rants and sweet cherries, in celebration of the total

wont be available right away.
Jody Valenta came to Roadhouse Brewing in
January from a Colorado brewery. She is the chief
operating officer and is in charge of making the
place run smoothly.
She started helping brew beer at the Village

ally, and is now tasked with managing the state-

Valentas favorite new piece of equipment in the

WHISKEY
Continued from 8C
A. Over 2,000 barrels a year. Thats approxi-
mately 240 bottles a barrel at five years. Older
barrels will yield less, but the product is arguably
better. Wooden barrels are porous, so we lose a per-
centage to evaporation each year. This loss is called
the angels share.
Our sales have continually grown around 40 per-
cent every year, with Wyoming leading the way. Wyo-
ming is our No. 1 state in terms of sales volume.
Q. Has your business been helped by the overall
popularity of craft and artisan products?
A. The American whiskey category is on fire right
now, as is tequila. When we started this com-
pany back in 2006 there was very little, if any, con-
versation about American craft spirits. Our goal was
to make Americas Next Great Bourbon. And I believe
were doing that.
But we have encountered competition in a way we
never expected, and that is because we had no idea
that you could buy bulk bourbon from large manufac-
turers and merely just label it as yours and market it
in the same way. There are hundreds of whiskeys on
the market that are sourced from Indiana and Ken-
tucky that have no provenance.
These people do not have the overhead of building a
distillery, buying grain, yeast, new barrels, labor and
waiting five years while whiskey ages before being
able to bring it to market.
Imagine whatever widget youre making, not being
able to sell it for five years because it has to age. All
the planning that goes into trying to determine what
demand is going to be in five years and what trends
are going to be important in five years.
These folks can simply buy bulk whiskey and have
no delay in producing the product.
Q. How does that affect you?
A. It crowds the shelves and provides another hur-
dle for us. We have to make a point of differentia-
tion, which is important to a lot of people these days.
Q. What is your provenance?
A. All of our grains are grown in Byron by Brent
and Sherri Rageth. Their devotion to growing
the absolute best grains for our needs benefits us. We
decided to go the non-GMO route on Day 1 because we
believed that was the right thing to do. Brent has tak-
en that challenge and grows some of the best corn ever
in terms of starch yield, which is whats important to
us, at high elevation, which is very difficult.
Water limestone water, if possible is critical
to making bourbon. One of the best limestone aquifers
in the West is found 40 miles north of our distillery, in
Manderson.
Q. Why are sugar and limestone so important?
A. Starch equals sugar. Sugar provides the fuel nec-
essary for fermentation. Limestone filters out all

New Orleans Suspects and Boondocks opened the 2017 season of JacksonHoleLive last month at Snow King Ball Park.

Free concerts proliferate across the West

Music, sun, community
attracts crowds
of thousands.
By Isa Jones
Summer in the Tetons means one
thing: outdoor concert series.
Theres Concerts on the Commons
in Teton Village, Music on Main in Vic-
tor, Idaho, and JacksonHoleLive at the
base of Snow King. Two thirds of those
are free JacksonHoleLive switched
to $5 for adults last summer and all
offer national and regional music acts,
outdoors, all summer long.
Jackson Hole is not unique in this
endeavor. Across the West mountain
towns greet summer with music.
For the most part these free outdoor
concert series are similar to Jackson
Holes.
Ketchem Alive, in Ketchum, Idaho,
for example, has been running since
1999 and was founded by resident Will
Caldwell. The series welcomes about
1,000 attendees a week fewer than
Jackson Holes series and boasts
acts that can be found on concert bills
around the Hole.
Like Todo Mondo, which played
Ketchem Alive in 2016 and Concert on
the Commons the same year. Ketchem
Alive also has a mix of local and na-
tional acts, just like ours.
We have nine weeks of concerts,
Caldwell said. We like to allow some
of our local talent to have a chance at
being a headliner. Normally two con-
certs are bands that are local.
Concert series in Snowmass and
Telluride, Colorado, also have head-
liners weve seen in the valley: New
Orleans Suspects, Pimps of Joytime,
Head for the Hills.
Its not surprising. Tour routes are
similar, as are budgets for the series,
all of which have sponsors who help
cover the costs.
But one town, Steamboat Springs,
Colorado, stood out. The towns concert
series boasts two acts Jackson didnt
get to see for free but had to pay for at
the Center Theater last season: Bruce
Hornsby and the Noisemakers, and
the Wood Brothers.
Board President Coleman Cook
said getting bands like that is hard,
especially because the Rocky Moun-
tains are almost overcrowded with
show opportunities, but the series
makes it work.
It comes with challenges, and
theres nothing free about what we pay
the bands, Cook said. We just have
a great board, great synergy and we
come up with some great sponsorship
ideas that continue to grow this se-
ries and keep it in the black and doing
well.
In fact, looking across the region,
the outlier isnt another mountain
town; its JacksonHoleLive, which is
the only one that charges while host-
ing the fewest number of shows four
in each of the past three years com-
pared with Music on Mains eight,
Concerts on the Commons seven,
Ketchem Alives nine and Steamboat
Springs five.
We do the Teton County Fair Con-
cert and last year did the St. Johns
Foundation show as well, organizer
Shannon McCormick said in a pre-
vious News&Guide story. The year
before we did the Search and Rescue
fundraiser show. We also produce the
TGR premiere in September. So they
pile up, when all is said and done.
McCormick said the series prides
itself on bringing new talent to the
valley.
One thing Im proud of this year is
all our headliners have never been to
the valley before and all of our support
acts are new to the stage this year,
McCormick said.
JacksonHoleLive plans to keep
charging the $5, something others in
the region said wouldnt happen.
Weve thrown out the idea of charg-
ing a fee, Coleman said about the
Steamboat series, but in the end were
the free summer concert series and we
want to maintain that for as long as we
are able to.
In Ketchum the community donates
rooms so the bands can stay the night
in town, which provides more incen-
tive for them to say yes to the gig.
We have local hotels and property
management outfits that will donate
rooms for a night for a band, Caldwell
said. I have to work at it, but people
love [the series] and, depending on
how much time I put into fundraising,
were good in that respect. I dont think
we would ever charge a fee.
But are the number of concerts in
a summer and the names of the head-
liners the end all be all? Or is it more
about the evening sun, seeing the com-
munity and enjoying live music?
Concert on the Commons organizer
Dom Gagliardi and Music on Main or-
ganizer Erica Linnell emphasized the
atmosphere more than the names in
News&Guide event preview stories.
We provide something for the lo-
cals to go out to the Village, and mak-
ing sure that its good for the person
who is just coming out of their hotel
room to check out music, Gagliardi
said.
Linnell, executive director of the
Teton Valley Foundation, said, Every-
one goes to Music on Main because of
the music, but they keep coming back
because of that community vibe.
The next JacksonHoleLive event is
July 21. The next Music on Main is
Thursday, and the next Concert on the
Commons is July 16.

Canyon Kids fight demons with Leviathan

Leviathan
Leviathan can be heard and
downloaded at CanyonKids.
Bandcamp.com

By Isa Jones

T
he new Canyon Kids al-
bum is one of details.
Leviathan is the
third album (fourth if you
count the members old band
Elk Attack) from the Jackson-
based folk-rock group com-
posed of Dusty Nichols, Bo
Elledge, John Harris, Adam
Woolley, Matt Herron and
Sheena Dhamsania. It shows
off the groups technical skill
and its ever-expanding musi-
cal ambitions.
Nostalgia features the
glockenspiel. The instrument
creates a sense of childlike nos-
talgia, almost like a bike bell.
The song also uses a trumpet,
an instrument that by nature
weaves its way through the
past and present, aurally ty-
ing the two time frames of the
song together.
Its a clever choice, to say
the least.
Again, on Barrel Eyes,
the little details speak vol-
umes.
Dhamsanias voice is on
display, with crooning, echo-
ing oooos that follow vocal-
ist Elledges pleas as he sings
of a love as seductive and dan-
gerous as a semiautomatic.
Those details are every-
where on the album and help
it stand apart from todays
overcrowded folk rock land-
scape. From the repeated
snare rolls to similar guitar
Bo Elledge and Dusty Nichols, the two main members of Canyon Kids, are pictured here. The
band has released a new album, Leviathan, which has a political slant.
riffs to the song Blowback
Blues, which feels less like
a sequel and more like a re-
sponse to Blowback, which
precedes it, the band clearly
took care with every aspect of
the album.
A lot of the recording was
done in Nichols bedroom stu-
dio, with Elledge occupying a
bedroom in the same house.
Maybe close proximity kept
the inspiration flowing.
Bo just moved in here, so
we figured, Hey, lets just get
it done, Nichols said back in
December, when the album
was still in process.
The album was written en-
tirely by Nichols, which is a
departure for the band.
The album is as weighty
as its monstrous title implies,
sometimes to its own hin-
drance. Nichols hasnt shied
away from the political un-
dertones in each song.
All these songs have a po-
litical theme to them, which is
new territory for us, Nichols
said. Its always something I
had an interest in, and I was
a political science major in
college, and its a number of
different themes all connect-
ed politically. Things I think
are interesting or unjust and
thats what Ive been writing
about lately.
Its hard not to hear the al-
COURTESY PHOTO
bum without the current polit-
ical world in mind, and thats
intended. Anxiety and tension
drip through every note and
lyric. Its neither a love album
nor a breakup album; its an
album about what you hold
onto when nothing is certain
and you start to feel the Earth
crumbling around you.
One of the songs is about
the war on drugs, another is
about cases of blowback in our
foreign policy, Nichols said.
Another is about Trump sup-
porters and this atmosphere
of nostalgia and wanting to
make America great again
and fantasizing about that.
Ive got a song about guns.
The last song is about King
Abdullah II, the current king
of Jordan, who I find to be a
fascinating guy.
While Nostalgia is the
first proper song listeners
will hear (the first song is just
an instrumental introduc-
tion), the band doesnt cling
to nostalgia in the hopes of
gaining fans as folk peers
The Lumineers, Mumford
and Sons, and so many other
have done. The band plows
forward, mixing blues, rock,
jam-bandesque moments and
a true dedication to the in-
struments played and Nich-
ols lyric driven-mind.
Its so different, Bo
Elledge said. The last al-
bum was the most Americana
upbeat hokey thing. This is
upbeat, but its more in your
face rock n roll, heres what
were not content about.
At the end, when nothing
feels certain and the ground
feels more unsteady and you
struggle to control, what else
can you do but plow forward?

Head to Head to play back to back at Garter

Who: Head To Head
When: 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Friday
Where: Pink Garter Theatre
How much: $10
Web: PinkGarterTheatre.com

By Harry Tarpey

The entertainment stays local Friday as Jack-

son-based Head to Head showcase its electronic
multimedia show at the Pink Garter Theatre. The
News&Guide recently sat down with the two-man
band to get a brief preview of what to expect from
the high-energy show.

Q: Hey, Head to Head. How are things? We are all

excited for your upcoming show.

A: Thanks for having us. We are always excited to

play at the Pink Garter, and have no doubt this
Friday will be a party.

Q: Sounds great. For those unfamiliar with the

band, who are you, and how would you de-
scribe your sound?

A: We are Otto Wieters and Dan Sanford, and

we mix drums with sampling, live tracks, and
visuals. I would describe Head to Heads sound as
percussive but expansive and cerebral electronic
music. Our main cohesive sound is groove elec-
tronic music, stuff to dance to. However, we still
delve into aspects of synth design, sampling and
live instrumentation. Genre-wise, it is hard to
pinpoint what we fall under. However, we tend to
align with electronic, hip-hop, house and IDM (in-
telligent dance music).

been used to introduce a com-
poser or an era of music or
work that was to be presented
on the weekend orchestral
program. This year the series
takes a different form, with
entirely different repertoires
presented in three stand-
alone programs.
Key and Mollenauer found-
ed SOLI 25 years ago.
It was an endeavor of love
of chamber music and a love of
working with living compos-
ers, Key said, to be that con-
duit and to share [new music]
with people.
Like her husband, Key is with
the San Antonio Symphony.
She is a clarinetist.
American minimalism be-
gins in the 1960s with Steve
Reich, Phillip Glass and John
Adams, all of whom will ap-
pear on Tuesdays program.
The Adams is a really neat
piece called Road Movies,
Key said. The duet will be
performed by violinist Hasse
Borup and pianist Kimi Ka-
washima.
Adams wrote very little
chamber music, preferring
massed sonorities and the
physical and emotional poten-
cy of big walls of triadic har-
mony, as the composer wrote
on his webpage, Earbox.com.
Were really fortunate to
have this one, Key said. Its live soloist playing with a pre-
a great traveling piece.
Andrew Todd, the festivals
executive director and a con-
cert pianist, will play Phillip
Glass Mad Rush.
Its the best part of the
job, Todd said of performing.
Whats not to love? Your mu-
sical world is expanding and
opening up, and youre play-
ing music by composers you
have not explored with these
amazing musicians.
Reich is represented by his
New York Counterpoint, for
clarinet and recording. Key
will play live against a pre-
recorded track featuring 11
clarinets.
You feel like you have this
invisible choir hanging on to
you, she said.
We think of Reich, Glass and
Adams when we think about
minimalism, Key said. But
there are other wonderful com-
posers working and growing
out of the form who have been
overshadowed or eclipsed.
For example Alexandra
Gardner, who has written for
SOLI and whose Bloom Mol-
lenauer will perform.
Its also minimalism, but Contact Richard Anderson
in a new way, Key said. Its at
got repetitive elements, but
its in her own beautiful way. JHNGbiz.
Like New York Counter-
point, Bloom features the
recorded track. Key said the
practice goes back to the 60s
and 70s, when musicians be-
gan to manipulate sound elec-
tronically.
It gave the power of
sounds they otherwise didnt
have, she said. You could
make an ugly sound or sound
that starts as a real acoustic
note and then grows to a cre-
scendo.
Its tricky to perform with a
tape, she said.
Theres no conductor tell-
ing the tape what to do, she
said. And Ive been in perfor-
mances where the electron-
ics didnt work the way you
wanted.

By Richard Anderson
Violinist Augustin Hadelichs rep-
ertoire stretches from the baroques
George Philipp Teleman to 20-century
Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu
and beyond. But theres one piece he
comes back to again and again.
Hadelich joins the Grand Teton Mu-
sic Festival Orchestra and Music Direc-
tor Donald Runnicles for Sibelius Violin
Concerto in D minor. The first weekend
programs of the festivals 56th season
start at 8 p.m. Friday and 6 p.m. Sat-
urday at Walk Festival Hall. Music by
Wagner, Beethoven and Neikrug (see
page 8) round out the evening.
You play something a lot, too much,
all the time, youre not sure what else
to do with it, Hadelich said last week
from his home in New York. The Sibel-
ius is a piece I never get tired of. ... I can
play an unlimited number of times.
Born in Tuscany, Italy, to German
parents in 1984, Hadelich showed re-
markable facility for his music. But
when he was a teen a fire burned him
badly and left him unable to play for a
year. The accident, as he told Strings
magazine in May 2014, made me real-
ize very suddenly that music was very
important to me, and maybe I should
take it more seriously.
Five years later he was studying
at Juilliard, and two more years on
he won the 2006 International Violin
Competition of Indianapolis, one of the
most prestigious competitions.
Since then Hadelich has performed
with every major orchestra in the U.S.
as well as throughout Europe. His re-
cording of Henri Dutilleuxs Violin Con-
certo won a Grammy for Best Classical
Instrument Solo in 2016. In 2015 he
was named the inaugural winner of the
$100,000 Warner Music Prize, and in
2014 he earned a Gramophone Award
nomination for his recording of, what
else, Sibelius Violin Concerto.
I think its one of the greatest piec-
es, he said. Theres no other piece like
it in violin repertoire.

last session this weekend.
A piano-violin reduction of Stravin-
skys Divertimento from the ballet The
Fairys Kiss starts the second half.
Stravinsky loved stealing other com-
posers material, Hadelich said. He
said, Bad composers borrow, but great
composers steal.
The Fairys Kiss makes use of some
obscure piano pieces by Tchaikovsky.
Its a really unique combination, he
said. It sounds like Stravinsky, but ...
its so romantic and wry, because theres
so much Tchaikovsky in it.
A short Valse-Scherzo by Tchai-
kovsky closes the recital.
This week marks Hadelichs second
visit to the Tetons. In 2015 he played
with guitarist Pablo Sainz Villegas. On
this trip, however, he makes his debut
with the orchestra and with Runnicles.

Neikrug to hear his Unicorn of Atlas Peak

Who: Marc Neikrug
What: The Unicorn of Atlas Peak part
of the Masters in the Mountains program
When: 8 p.m. Friday; 6 p.m. Saturday
Where: Walk Festival Hall
Web: GTMF.org
By Richard Anderson
Marc Neikrugs father, George, was a
famous cellist. His mother, Olga Zundel,
was a composer and a cellist.
My grandfather was a conductor,
Neikrug said. My great-grandfather
was a conductor. Composers were
around in my infancy and childhood
and teenage years.
It is, therefore, not surprising that
Neikrug would be a musician a tour-
ing concert pianist for 35 years, until
about 2010, and for 30 years a composer.
Neikrug will be in Jackson Hole this
weekend as the Grand Teton Music
Festival presents his short orchestral
work, The Unicorn of Atlas Peak.
Commissioned by the festival and the
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra where
Runnicles, the festivals music direc-
tor, is principal guest conductor the
work premiered in January in Atlanta
and gets two more performances at this
weekends orchestral concerts.

uncharacteristic of the composer.
I know thats what lots of compos-
ers do, he said. Its easier to get them
played. But Ive always had a problem
with the idea of 10 minutes. Most of my
pieces are way bigger than that.
He has composed symphonies, con-
certos, works for bands and large en-
sembles, a couple of operas.
It took some fiddling, but he finally
struck a way to make a short piece work.
What its really about is multiple
music going on at the same time, he
said. There is the way to have a piece of
substance even though its short.
The Unicorn of Atlas Peak, then,
consists of three layers or textures
each with its own trajectory all
played over one another.
He compared it to the mobiles of
Alexander Calder, or of clouds moving
across the sky.
They dont seem to move at the
same speed, he said of clouds. Theyre
always overlapping and changing for-
mations.
Similarly, at times the audience
hears just one layer of Unicorn, other
times two, other times all three.
I was quite pleased with that, he
said.
Its not cacophonous or polytonal, he
said. Its not like Charles Ives, in which
two marching bands play two different
tunes. The layers interlock and then, he
said, they mutate.
I got to the end and found that it
kind of flipped into a very strange place
that I dont know, he said. I went,
Wow, I dont know what this is, but I
like it. Its not exactly a march but it has
some little march-like quality. It sounds
like a fairy tale, a fairy tale place thats
quite different.
Which makes the title appropri-
ate, although it has much more literal
meaning, too.
Im really bad with titles, he said.
My general plan was to call it concert
piece or orchestra music or something
like that.
Then it occurred to me that the way
this piece came about was through Don-
ald Runnicles, he said. The reason I
know Donald Runnicles is through a
very, very close mutual friend who is one
of the great, if not the greatest, wine-
maker in Napa Don Kongsgaard.
An elder and a teacher and a guru,
Kongsgaard is the man younger wine-
makers go to when they have questions.
Hes very esoteric and mystical
about how he does the process, and hes
quite a philosopher, Neikrug said. He
lives on top of this mountain next to
Napa called Atlas Peak.
So, he said, anyone who knows
Kongsgaard would understand the title.
The Unicorn of Atlas Peak will be
performed as part of the Masters in the
Mountains program at 8 p.m. Friday
and 6 p.m. Saturday at Walk Hall in
Teton Village.

Tempest takes over Thin Air Shakespeare
Who: Thin Air Shakespeare and Off Square
Theatre Company
What: The Tempest
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday;
7:30 p.m. July 14-16
Where: Center Amphitheater
How much: Free

By Isa Jones
A
storm is coming to Thin Air
Shakespeare.
This year the production and
Off Square Theater Company will
present The Tempest Shake-
speares tale of magic and revenge.
The production, under the night
sky outside the Center for the Arts,
will run Friday through Sunday and
again July 14-16.
As it has been for the past five
years, Thin Air Shakespeare is free
to attend, but this year it launched
a crowdfunding campaign to raise
money for future productions. So
far the nonprofit has raised $4,485
of its $10,000 goal.
For director Edgar Landa, who
returned for his third year, keeping
Shakespeare accessible is crucial.
Shakespeare under the stars is
wonderful, Landa said. When the
characters refer to the stars and
moon and water and wind, the audi-
ence is there, and they get to experi-
ence that. Making Shakespeare ac-
cessible and free to a community goes
a long way in destigmatizing the fear
that people have of Shakespeare.
Landa referenced recent protests
of a New York City production of
Julius Caesar, where protestors
accused the production of depict-
ing the assassination of President
Trump.
That was a protest based on ig-
norance on what that plays about,
Landa said, but clearly [Shake-
speare] still resonates.
This years production is a
straightforward telling of what is
often considered Shakespeares fi-
nal play. It begins with the titular
tempest, which strands the enemies
of the main character, the magician
Prospero, on his island as part of his
plot for revenge.
I hope that people see some re-
flection of themselves in one of the
characters, Landa said. Perhaps
in Prospero. We can all relate to the
desire to seek vengeance or seek re-
demption or to forgive after having
been done a great wrong.
The play is one of Shakespeares
romances, or a dramady as Landa
put it. It has comic relief, action,
tragedy and love.
We have the seriousness of the
Prospero storyline and his desire for
Prospero, the former duke of Milan, now a magician on an island:

Ive never been a big Shake-
speare fan, Bratz said, but I knew
they were doing this straightfor-
ward production, and I thought it
was interesting. I get to play the odd
member out, the enslaved spirit.
The cast this year is split be-
tween out-of-towners and locals.
Bratz used to live and act in Jack-
son but now lives in Los Angeles. He
admires his co-stars.
Its a good cast, and they are cast
well for their parts, Bratz said.
Andy [Robinson] has like half the
dialogue per page and is just so on.
All the out-of-town actors, seven of
them, are staying together in condos
rented by Off Square. Executive Direc-
tor Clare Symmons cited housing as
the main expense of the production.
For actor Charls Hall, who plays
Trinculo, the servant to Alonso, the
housing situation helps with his
acting process.
Its kind of nice, especially the
two other housemates I have, Hall
said. We have scenes together, so
you get to know each other quicker
just by having conversations with
them every day. You get to feel what
they, as people, are like. For me that
makes it easier to work.
The play runs two weekends, and
there are other events surrounding
the production. From 5 to 7 p.m.
Tuesday is Cocktails and Shake-
speare, and each performance will
have pre-show entertainment, in-
cluding music, poetry and more.
Bring your own chairs. Food and
beverages are encouraged, Bratz
said.
Bring a bottle of wine and enjoy
the show.

If youve spotted some two-dimen-
sional pink flamingos around town this
week, consider following them to Miller
Park starting Friday for the Art Asso-
ciation of Jackson Holes three-day Art
INTRODUCING: Fair Jackson Hole.
Organizers of the 51st annual juried
art and crafts extravaganza the first
with Fetters.
Although I have a beautiful stu-
dio in Wilson, its wonderful to come to
town, Thal said. I always meet new
people, such as those new to Jackson
Hole, second-home owners and tourists,
who are always surprised at the quality
of art at the shows.
Thal makes drinking glasses,
perfume bottles, vases and one-of-
a-kind collectors items, such as her
signature colorful, sand-blasted bowls.
She said this year her newest bowls are
exquisite, very detailed ones that her
partner and sandblasting expert Dan
Altweis helped create.
Last year Thal seemed to take then-
first-time fair participant and ceramist
Tenley Thompson under her wing.

other artists gave me advice on how to

VALERIY KAGOUNKIN We are using pink flamingo yard
ornaments to direct people to Miller
Park, said Molly Fetters, director of
events for the association. So when
people are walking around they will be
able to follow the flamingos to the park.
The funky pink birds have been
placed on Gill, Deloney and Broad-
way and will remain up for the du-
ration of the fair Friday, Saturday
and Sunday.
We want people to support art and
the association by going to the fair this
weekend, Fetters said. We thought
the flamingos were something fun and
unique as opposed to using something
expected, like the Tetons.
Nearly 150 local and visiting paint-
ers, potters, sculptors, jewelry mak-
ers, furniture creators and other ar-
tisans are participating in the event.
The art represented ranges from
Western to contemporary and runs
the gamut price-wise, from under $5
to more than $5,000.
Music will fill the air throughout
the weekend, courtesy of Jackson DJ
BDUBZ. There will be face painting,
interactive crafts and activities for chil-
dren in the Kids Creation Station, art-
ist demonstrations, a free yoga class at
10 a.m. Friday and an Axis Gym obsta-
cle course for kids at 10 a.m. Sunday. A
food court is, of course, another staple of

Thompson is an Art Association
member and a teacher with the group.
She remembers going to the art fair as a
kid and being agog at everything, nev-
er imagining I would be an artist, much
less be here.
Celebrating artists and raising funds
for the associations arts and education
programs is the impetus for the fair. To
that end, the association will hold its
first Party in the Park fundraiser from
6 to 9 p.m. Saturday.
Its our big gala, Fetters said. You
can get a cocktail and walk around, see
the art and make a purchase.
Around 40 percent of the artists run-
ning booths this year will be first-tim-
ers. Fetters is excited to see the works
of local sculptor Amy Unfried; glass
artist Zion Warne from Boise, Idaho;
Oregon painters Tonya Gray and Jerri
Lisk; and Christine and Steve Turnball,
sculpture artists from Hawaii. Twenty-
seven Jackson artists the majority of
whom are returnees will participate.
I love the returning vendors be-
cause I only see them once a year,
Fetters said, So its fun to have them
come back.
General admission tickets cost $5,
and entry is free for Art Association
members and children age 10 and
younger. This year the price of admis-
sion comes with the eligibility to win
a door prize: single-day ski vouchers
for two people at Jackson Hole Moun-

to Osteria.
The second art fair of the summer
season will be Aug. 11 through 13.

More Arts, Briefly
Sawczuk show at Trio
Bill Sawczuk, one of the artists of
Trio Fine Art, has a show hanging at
the gallery through July 15.
To me Moving On means explora-
tion, experimentation and evolution
in my work, Sawczuk said in a state-
ment. It means involving the viewer
more in the understanding and appre-
ciation of the emotions that I am try-
ing to convey.
The exhibit features Sawczuk
painting, as he always has. But the
work, though nature-focused, is more
abstract and gesture-based.
How can I do this by putting less
information in a painting and requir-
ing the viewer to do the larger part
of the interpretation? his statement
reads.

the exhibit see TrioFineArt.com.

and the exhibit.
Bored with the idea of presenting
stanzas in a collection on a page, Daly
decided to build a poem that readers
could interact with and interpret as
they see fit.
I was interested in how impor-
tant it is, especially in poetry, that the
meaning of the poem happens within
the reader, as much as it comes from
the intention of the poet, Daly said.
The result is nine art pieces that
utilize nine stanzas of poetry written
by six poets, plus Daly.

Wildlife crossings are bridges and

Doggie Hamlet is inspired by the book The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, about a deaf boy who communicates with dogs and others in sign language.

F
our dancers, one boy, an Ameri-
can Sign Language interpreter,
two herding dogs and 30 sheep.
Thats the cast of Doggie Ham-
let, an experimental dance perfor-
mance that will take over Snake
River Ranch this weekend.
Commissioned by Dancers Work-
shop, its the work of longtime per-
former and choreographer Ann Carl-
son. Its her latest work, three years
in the making, and it debuted this
past weekend at Dartmouth Univer-
sity in New Hampshire.
While the work may have pre-
miered on the East Coast, Carlson
cannot wait to see how its received
in the West.
I think its going to resonate a
whole other way there, and part of
the delight of this experiment is that
its going to resonate differently de-
pending on where its staged, Carl-
son said.
Hamlet meets Jungle
Book
Carlson was quick to point out
that while the dance performance is
called Doggie Hamlet, it is not a
retelling of Shakespeares Hamlet.
The inspiration for the piece ac-
tually came from the book The
Story of Edgar Sawtelle which bor-
rows from Hamlet and The Jungle
Book, Carlson said.
The story is of a boy on a sheep
farm who is mute and communicates
with his dogs and others through a
rudimentary form of sign language.
In the book the sign language
is such a symbol of communication
and language, especially language
being one of the old ideas of what
separated us from animals, Carlson
said. In a certain way I take up that
whole notion of gesture which then
expands into dance.
Doggie Hamlet then is based on
Doggie Hamlet, by Ann Carlson, features sheep, sheepdogs and human
performers. You can see performances this weekend at Snake River Ranch.
that book and explores the ideas of
language, gesture and humans rela-
tionships to animals.
The people are choreographed
around the actions of the dogs and
sheep, and the dogs and sheep are
responding to the people, Carlson
said. In theory and in practice ev-
eryone in this piece is interdepen-
dent in the context of everyone else,
both humans and nonhumans.
The symbolic and the real
The piece has no strong plot,
though there are choreographed sec-
tions for the dancers and certain
cues for the dogs.
The idea is to not watch a story
unfold, but to watch the relation-
ships play out, examine the gestures
and draw your own conclusions.
Everything works on both a lit-
eral and symbolic level.
One of the things that the col-
laboration with live animals does
share is that toggling between sym-
bolic and real, which is true to any
performance if you think about it,
Carlson said. In my view thats a
constant kind of toggling that we
have in life that everything is
both symbolic and real.
Even the performance itself can
KELLY FLETCHER
be viewed as symbolic. How does it
impart its message on the Western
landscape, and what does it mean
to have this kind of performance in
the West? Do the animals know that
they are performing? How much do
audience reactions feed into what
this is? If the audience is involved,
then, to borrow from Hamlet, is
this a play within a play?
Theyre real sheep and real dogs
and it begs the question, Do they
know they are in performance, and
are they being uplifted by our atten-
tion to that? Carlson said.
Created in earnest
Its easy to laugh at the idea of
Doggie Hamlet.
Its probably pretentious, and a
New York Times article recently
came out defending it as real art
against a Washington, D.C., pub-
lication angry that the production

Arts Funding. Its not traditional
dance, it stars farm animals, and
Carlson is fine if you think its a bit
strange.
I think the work is really ear-
nest, it has an earnestness about it,
Carlson said. I really get the scoff-

ern tourist town. I do really under-
stand the complexities and issues of
class and access, and I know thats
part of the scoffing, too.
Carlson said she honors the
scoffing and invites skepticism about
her work. She wants those who may
not jump at this kind of production
to view it and to take it in.
I trust who makes their way to
the performance, and I would hope
theres enough opportunities and ac-
cess and reach that some of the scoff-
ers might go and they might still go,
I dont get it, but it wouldnt be a
wasted hour, she said.
She said that the scoffing comes
from an issue that the performance
works to address: What does it mean
to exist in a modern Western land-
scape where agricultural life col-
lides with the modern world?
Its a lot of living both ruggedly
and in contemporary culture and on
a daily basis in various ways people
reconcile that, Carlson said. That
love of the landscape, the impact of
colonialism a long time ago, the im-
pact of affluence and class and those
kinds of desires and impacts on the
landscape and on a U.S. Western
tourist town.
So Doggie Hamlet, is a lot of
things. But mostly its a perfor-
mance for everyone to experience
any way they see fit.
Youre kind of free to impose your
own story on it, Carlson said. What
are the stories we carry inside us?
And how do those allow us and disal-
low us to see the world?
A little bit of Doggie Hamlet is
doing that for the viewer, too, she
said. I hope some of the folks who
might stay away are encouraged to
come.

addiction, loss, grief and basketball.
They mix humor and sadness and

in an interview with NPR. A recent
study from Johns Hopkins studying
reservations found that Indian chil-
dren on reservations have the same
rate of PTSD as combat veterans.
He has a complicated relationship
with America. But it could be said
that his stories are quintessentially
American because being an American
entails a constant search for identity
in a sea of influences.
His books force readers to contem-
plate their own identity and heritage
and maybe come away from them
with something close to an answer.
The memoir, specifically, uses
Alexies parents as a path to those
answers and shows how their faults
and strengths shaped who he is and
how he views the world.
I dont believe in ghosts, he
writes in the memoir. But I see them
all the time.

Figs restaurant brings taste of Lebanon to Jackson

Menu is designed
for diners to share
plates and food.
By Erika Dahlby
When Jim Darwiche was
growing up in southern Leba-
non he and his friends had a
springtime ritual of hiking
into the mountains.
It was almost like a camp-
ing trip for the 12-year-olds, he
said. Except they werent there
to camp they were there
to make tabbouleh, a lem-
ony herb salad with cracked
wheat.
Everybody would bring
something with them,
and we would make the
tabbouleh right on the spot,
Darwiche said.
As soon as lettuce started
to sprout, tomatoes grew large
enough and the herbs were
full and bushy, everyone in
his Middle Eastern village be-
came eager to make the popu-
lar dish.
Darwiche still makes tab-
bouleh in the mountains, only
now at Figs Restaurant in his
hotel, Hotel Jackson.
The restaurant and bou-
tique hotel opened in 2015,
but Figs just recently transi-
tioned to a 100 percent Leba-
nese menu.
Thanks to a revamped menu, you can savor the authentic
flavors of Lebanon at Figs restaurant at Hotel Jackson.
They always wanted to
do a Lebanese menu, said
Sadek Darwiche, the restau-
rants general manager and
Jims son. But they wanted
to ensure it was executed
properly.
We understand Lebanese
food, he said. We know it. We
wanted to make sure it was
perfect before we released it.
Now the full menu is avail-
able, and it includes classic
dishes like tabbouleh, hum-
mus and baba ghanoush.
Theres Kibbeh tartare made
with beef and bulgur and shish
taouk chicken kebabs.
Lebanese food is unique.
Because of Lebanons loca-
ASHLEY COOPER/NEWS&GUIDE
tion on the Mediterranean
Sea it is at the crossroads
of civilizations and trade
routes.
Sadek Darwiche uses the
example of Greeces grape
leaves. Lebanon has grape
leaves, too, but theyre cooked
differently.
In our humble opinion, we
improved it, Sadek said. You
see these things that come
from other regions that are
passing through Lebanon and
then the Lebanese have made
it their own.
The spices in the dishes are
used for flavor and to strength-
en the mind.
On a day we would have
an exam they would feed you
something with zaatar in the
morning, Jim Darwiche said.
Zaatar is a blend of thyme,
oregano and sesame. The spic-
es they use arent hot, howev-
er, theyre mixes of herbs.
The Lebanese kitchen is
the simplest kitchen you can
think of, Darwiche said. But
you have to have pure and
original ingredients.
One of those ingredients is
olive oil. Its the foundation of
most Lebanese dishes, and to
ensure the dishes are authen-
tic Darwiche imports cold-
pressed organic olive oil from
northern Lebanon.
Lebanese food is based on
seasonality, Sadek Darwiche
said.
You eat whats growing
and whats in your region, he
said. Theres not a lot of pro-
cessed food.
Because of that vegetarian
and vegan dishes make up al-
most 50 percent of the menu.
We didnt try to, he said.
It just happened due to the
nature of the food.
You dont miss the meat
in those dishes, he said. But
there are delicious meats on
the menu, like grilled lamb,
marinated beef kafta and
spiced chicken.
The menu is set up for peo-
ple to share plates.
Theres always sharing,
Jim said. There is no such
thing as an individual lunch in
traditional Lebanese dining.
Its like tapas, but the Medi-
terranean meze allows people
to try variations on the same
dish or to mix and match com-
pletely different dishes. There
is also a prix fixe menu, kind of
like a tasting menu, for people
who want to try it all or just
want to dip their toe in.
There is also a lunch special
two items for $15 or three
for $19. The menu is served
from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
Sharing allows diners to
create their own plates and
tastes, Jim said.
You are your own chef in a
way, he said. Everything on
the plate is a part of that ex-
perience.
Sharing his experiences and
memories with the community
is just as important as the food
for Jim Darwiche.
Food brings all the good
memories back that gather-
ing of people, the family, the
holidays, the visitors when
they come to your house, he
said. Its everything. Food is
really all the memories that
bring warmth.

Hole avoids an eclipse apocalypse

BRADLY J. BONER/NEWS&GUIDE PHOTO

A total solar eclipse covers Jackson Hole in darkness for almost 2 1/2 minutes Monday, the first time the celestial event occurred in the region in 40 years.
Thousands took in the event from all over the valley and surrounding mountaintops. Check out video and reader-submitted photos at JHNewsAndGuide.com.

Tons of edibles slip through a legal gap

Wyoming law says marijuana
users can be charged only with
the weight of actual leaf.
By Emily Mieure
People in Teton County could get caught with 10
tons of cannabis-infused edibles and get off with just
a misdemeanor under a ruling by 9th District Court
Judge Timothy Day and a loophole in Wyoming law.
The argument landed in front of Day because of a
possession of a controlled substance case. Daniel Ju-
lian Bates, of Victor, Idaho, was arrested in Jackson on
Sept. 6, 2016, for having marijuana in his car.
Jackson Police Department officers arrested Bates
after a search of his car turned up about 1 ounce of
marijuana in plant form, a schedule I controlled sub-
stance, and approximately 2 1/2 ounces of packaged
gummy candy, according to reports.
The state of Wyoming charged Bates with felony
possession of a controlled substance after combining
the weight of the marijuana and candy, records state.
You have to possess more than 3 ounces of drugs in
order to be charged with a felony in Wyoming.
Bates had about 1 ounce of leafy marijuana and 2.5
ounces of candy, police said.
Judge Days ruling that arrestees can be charged
only for the weight of actual leafy green marijuana and
not byproducts means hemp candy and cookies are in-
visible to the law.
This does create an interesting situation with this
ruling by the court that I want to clarify, Teton Coun-
ty Deputy Prosecutor Clark Allan said during Bates
sentencing. A person can come through with 4 ounces
of plant form marijuana and be convicted of a felony

For sale: The last piece of an era
Final acre of homestead

But something else has come into
view. These days Blake can see the
end of an era.
Blake and his wife, Iola, have put
the last remaining piece of private
property on Mormon Row on the mar-

one of Mormon Rows earliest fami-
lies, will end the most famous chapter
of early Jackson Hole history.
Blake remembers standing on the

Realtor Chad Budge, himself a de-

was mostly a guess.
Theres nothing to compare it to,
Budge said. I asked other brokers
and appraisers for their opinions, and
the price they gave obviously varied.
I had people tell me $8 million. Its in

He said it wasnt easy for the

It was a very emotional family de-

not a quick decision at all.

E-day peaceful
M
onths before most people heard about
Mondays total solar eclipse, public
officials were huddled around white-
boards plotting out What if scenarios.
What if thunderstorms swept toward people
trapped on the Grand Teton? What if a fire
blazed toward gridlocked traffic? What if cell-
phones didnt work?
Those thousands of hours of planning paid
off perhaps mixed with a little luck in a
peaceful celestial coincidence for 20,000 resi-
dents and an unknown number of visitors.
People listened to the wisdom that was
thrust upon them in newspaper ink, on web-
sites, at kiosks and in person: They shopped
last week, made a plan, got up early, got where
they wanted to be and enjoyed a transcendent
cosmic moment with friends and strangers.
The traffic in the aftermath of the eclipse was
predicted, mitigated and handled as efficiently
as possible on our network of two-lane roads.
Volunteer crossing guards offered smiles
and guidance for those hustling across Broad-

way. Forest rangers checked for cold campfire
ashes. Police officers stood for hours with burn-
ing biceps as they kept cars moving through
traffic lights. Civilization was retained with
plenty of coffee, ice, water, wine and portable
toilets to serve the masses.
Hats off to Teton County Emergency Man-
agement Coordinator Rich Ochs, Solar Eclipse
Coordinator Kathryn Brackenridge, town of
Jackson Public Information Coordinator Carl
Pelletier, Grand Teton National Park and
Bridger-Teton National Forest officials, law
enforcement, town and county employees,
resident volunteers and countless others who
made Jacksons Great American Eclipse great.
Although dire predictions of huge crowds and
emergencies didnt come true, that doesnt mean
all the preparation was wasted. It was great
practice for the entire community, especially
first responders, and that planning no doubt
contributed to how smoothly things went.
We should all apply the lessons learned from
E-day planning toward the unknown disasters
on the horizon: Pack a 72-hour kit, establish a
family contact person and stock up on bottled
water, cash and nonperishable food.
Preparation, kindness and patience go a
long way toward perfection.

Against the river park
Rather than overwhelming public support for this
artificial whitewater feature, what was apparent at
the Teton County Board of County Commissioners
meeting to consider a conditional use permit for a kay-
ak park was the power of social media to rally a group
to show up, slap on their yes stickers and make a lot
of noise about a project that will benefit them. Propo-
nents dont know how this would affect stream flows,
the wildlife or the rivers ecology because they have
not spent $1 looking at those things. But I heard a lot
about how convenient it would be to not have to drive
so far to play.
My husband and I have lived on the banks of the
Snake River for 39 years, overlooking the South Park
bridge area. We have watched what began as a launch
used mostly by private local floaters morph into a mas-
sive commercial enterprise. Make no mistake, there is
money to be made here, notably by one of the founders
of this nonprofit.
We adjacent landowners were never notified by the
county of any public meetings after they cut a deal
with the Bureau of Land Management to develop the
two parcels before taking title, so we were not able to
voice our opinion, but obviously the commercial kayak
community was. If the Jackson Hole River Parks Proj-
ect really wanted broad community input for this pro-
posal they would have solicited it long ago, before the
county mandated it.
Those who feel its so important in their lives to have
a convenient, manufactured whitewater park to play
in should move to a place that already has one instead
of trying to make our river into something it is not. Are
we going to go down the road of amusement park-style
recreational amenities, or honor that we are a part of
the largest, most pristine ecosystem in the Lower 48?
If you, too, are concerned about the direction the
JHRPP proposal is taking us, I urge you to attend fu-
ture stakeholder meetings and speak out.

The Disneyfication of Jackson
My congratulations to Cory Hatch for his piece on
the proposed river park (The Snake water park:
Nice? Or too Disney?Aug. 16). The other news stories
dealt with most of the issues, pro and con, regarding
the establishment of such a park, and certainly poten-
tial harm to fish habitat and movements is of particu-
lar concern. But only Cory made the important point
that creating such a park in the Snake River is one
more step in the Disneyfication of Jackson Hole. The
existing and proposed entertainment fixtures at Snow
King have already made a good start down that path-
way; a river park would be another major stride.
There is always money to be made from these
sorts of developments, so it is always tempting for
entrepreneurs to plow ahead with proposals and for

wood said.
Weve got a lot of work to do, he
said.
Longtime board member Jerry
Blann, who is among those examining
the sale, said its a pivotal time for
the airport.
Brown, Jackson Hole Aviations
owner, did not consent to interviews
with the News&Guide. A subordinate
employee reached Tuesday declined
an interview request.
Critics of the sale are led by Her-
rick, whose business venture would
be blocked if the airport buys Jackson
Hole Aviation.
Is this one step forward or two
steps back? Herrick said. Is a mo-
nopoly run by the government better
than a monopoly run by private enter-
prise?
Its like having only one gas sta-
tion in town run by the government,
he said. Is that a good idea?
Plane owners allege gouging

those with small aircraft, have com-

Jackson Hole Aviation has driven
all piston-aircraft owners out of the
airport because of the way that they
have been treated, Blue said. Thats
a shame for local pilots. I bet 95 per-
cent of the pilots fly out of Driggs, Ida-
ho, now because its been so oppres-
sive over there.
Blue thought it was a silly idea
for the airport to buy Jackson Hole
Aviation.
The cost involved would be astro-
nomical, and theres no reason, he
said. They could take it over without
buying anything at all.

Cornell University, Whalen said. The
Teton County Prosecutors Office will
receive the case then, but lab results
likely wont change the outcome.
We are climbing up a pretty tough
hill here, Whalen said. The state
statute seems to be written in such a
way that negligence doesnt seem to
be a part of the crime.
Animal cruelty has been a topic
among state lawmakers before. Its
still a misdemeanor in Wyoming.
Thats the piece that doesnt sit well
with most animal activists.
Were following this closely and
are very interested in the outcome
of the investigation, state Sen. Le-
land Christensen, R-Alta, told the
News&Guide. This last session I
brought a bill regarding a loophole
in animal abuse law and found great
support from fellow legislators. Well
know well ahead of the next session if
there is a change needed.
Even if lab results show Stearns
overdosed the horse, he wont face
charges, Whalen said.
It is legal for people to put down
their animals in a humane way,
Whalen said.
But the sheriff s office has been ac-
cused of taking it easy on Stearns and
even covering for him.
I find it an atrocity that the sher-
iff s department actually went there
and didnt see anything wrong, horse
advocate Catherine Clark wrote in a
Facebook post.
Deputies responded to the scene on
Aug. 8 while the horse was still alive.
They didnt return until they learned
the horse had died. Thats when they
collected the body for the investiga-
tion.
But Whalen said his office is doing
no favors for Stearns.
If we had a cruelty case we would
go with it, Whalen said. Part of our
investigation did include having a vet
look at the horse to determine if the
horse was beaten and there was no

land. The companys operating agree-
ment also requires a $50,000 flat fee
go to the airport annually, as well 12
cents per gallon for jet fuel, which cost
$6.80 a gallon as of last week.
Its unclear how big a business pri-
vately owned Jackson Hole Aviation
is running, or what a potential sale
to the publicly administered airport
would look like. Blann is among those
digging into its financials while as-
sessing the potential sale, but he told
his fellow board members he cant
say anything about information that
is considered confidential under Wyo-
ming public business law.

Land use regulations
HELPING OUR struck down by judge
COMMUNITY
RUN
County will appeal
case to the Wyoming
Supreme Court.
By Allie Gross
District Court Judge Timothy Day
has struck down a land development
regulation that prohibited fractional
ownership of campgrounds.
But Teton County intends to ap-
peal the decision to the Wyoming Su-
preme Court.
In a summary judgment Day de-
termined that the LDR restricting
ownership of campgrounds to a single
entity is ultra vires, or outside the
countys zoning authority.
It seeks to regulate the ownership
of land, rather than land use, Day
wrote. The Court therefore holds
that regulation is unenforceable.
Jamie Mackay owns campgrounds
at Fireside Resort in Wilson and Buf-
falo Valley Fireside Resort near Mo-
ran. Both are used as camping for
RVs, tents and trailers, and visitors
can rent one of the several tiny homes
that dot each property.
Mackay wants to use a tenancy-
in-common structure to sell shares of
his campgrounds, meaning that sev-
eral parties will share ownership of
the properties.
He plans to sell 21 shares and re-
tain one on each resort for a total of
44 shares between the two locations.
Shareholders would each get an
assigned use area as well as rental
income for the use of their campsites.
Current regulations that restrict oc-
cupants to staying for no more than
30 days in a three-month period
would remain in place.
However, the countys land devel-
opment regulations stipulate that
all the campsites at a campground
must by owned by one entity: No
fractional ownership, timeshares or
membership of campsites is permit-
ted.
Complaints from neighbors trig-
gered the countys Planning Depart-
ment to threaten fines of up to $750
Crawlers per day in spring 2016 for selling the
shares.
Mackays lawsuit brought the case

through its LDRs or if it is restricted
to governing land use. The county ar-
gued that it can regulate ownership
where it affects land use.
Teton County desires for
campgrounds to be available to the
public for use, Teton County Chief
Deputy Attorney Keith Gingery
wrote, rather than to be blocked off
into permanent use by a restricted
amount of users through the pseudo
timeshare configuration being
proposed.
The county also argued that split
ownership of shares of a campground
constituted a subdivision of property
and should be subject to those regu-
lations, but Day declined to consider
that argument, saying it wasnt per-
tinent at this time.
Mackays attorney, Matt Kim-Mill-
er, argued that the countys zoning
authority does not include the right
to regulate land ownership.
A countys zoning authority does
not include the right to regulate land
ownership, Kim-Miller wrote on
behalf of Mackay, absent a show-
ing that a change in ownership will
result in a change in use affecting
the public health, safety and general
welfare.
The countys attempt to regulate
ownership, without any change in use
of the properties, is illegal and beyond
the countys jurisdiction and author-
ity, Kim-Miller wrote.
Gingery filed a notice of appeal
June 30. Next, hes working on a brief
to file with the Wyoming Supreme
Court in early September.

COURTESY MAP

As identified in the comprehensive plan, the Planning Department is

recommending the Town Council add density in transitional areas throughout
town to help combat Jacksons workforce housing crisis.

3 Creek Ranch Cabin with Mountain Views Town ready to begin

This turn-key cabin is located in 3 Creek Ranch, Jackson Holes premier golf club, which provides
privacy and close proximity to town. Views of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort can be enjoyed
from the thoughtfully designed home, and the clubhouse is just a short walk away. Owners have
access to private trout streams, the nature center, and more.
new rezoning debate
Council weighs
4 bedrooms | 4.5 bathrooms | 4,492 square feet | 0.76 acres | $3,925,000 developers incentives
against community
benefits in Districts 3-6.
By John Spina
The process of rezoning is a delicate
balance between wants and needs.
As the town looks to rezone its resi-
dential areas in Districts 3 through 6
the Town Council must provide enough
of the market, property owners, financ-
ing and development just takes time.
But the question remains: If the town
upzones its residential districts in hope
of developing workforce housing, will a
similar set of incentives be enough?
Probably the most significant areas
where we may actually see the work-
force housing incentive tool be used are
in the residential districts, Sinclair
said. Theres a bigger delta in those
areas between their base floor-area ra-
tio and how big the box is that you can
only use the workforce housing tool to

incentive to private developers to
prompt them to build affordable hous-
ing without allowing so much develop-
ment it alters the areas characters.
Not all density is created equal,
said Tyler Sinclair, director of the joint
town and county planning department.
Its a tradeoff between what were get-
ting as a community versus what the
developer or property owner is getting.
If you dont get the recipe right you can
actually do more harm by adding den-
sity than just doing nothing.
When it rezoned District 2 last year
the council allowed additional height
and density if developers built one
square foot of workforce deed-restricted
housing for every two square feet of
market-rate space in the bonus area.
To offset the costs of building deed-
restricted housing developers lobbied
for the ability to rent their market-rate
units short-term. In doing so they could
sell the market-rate units at a higher
price and subsidize the required deed-
restricted housing, enabling them to
turn a profit worth pursuing.
The Town Councils vote to allow
residential units within the downtown
core to be leased short-term is a
crucial step to building more employee
housing, S.R. Mills, president of Bear
Development, told the council last
fall. Constructing employee housing
in Jackson is an expensive and
laborious process. Allowing the bonus
nonemployee housing in the downtown
core to be leased short-term gives our
community the best chance of solving
our housing crisis.
Only one project proposed
While the council vacillated on this
issue, it ultimately decided to not allow
short-term rentals.
Though it has been only a year since
updated D2 development regulations
passed, to date only one project has
taken advantage of the density bonuses.
At 60 E. Broadway Larry Berlin, of
Berlin Architects, submitted two appli-
cations: One was proposed under the
old development regulations and the
other under the updated ones.
With the updated zoning and devel-
opment regulations the project gained
an additional 2,000-square-foot resi-
dential unit on the third floor and a
higher roof.
Most things in planning and zoning
take at least two to three years mini-
mum to see results, Sinclair said of
gauging the success of D2. The reality
fill. Theres much more incentive. The
question is where is that sweet spot of
getting us units without oversubsidiz-
ing, versus not giving the farm away
and not getting any units.
Tailored incentives
With a wide array of neighborhoods
throughout Districts 3 through 6, the
Planning Department said it would look
at each district separately with the pos-
sibility of different incentives for differ-
ent districts.
Possible incentives include similar
2-to-1 bonuses as approved in D2, as
well as density bonuses as a percentage
of the base floor area and mitigation ex-
emptions for housing, landscaping and
parking requirements.
Less conventional incentives include
subsidies in the form of money or infra-
structure updates, an option for more
than one owner per property to incen-
tivize accessory residential units, du-
plexes and triplexes, and a streamlined
approval process for certain projects
with immense community value.
Of course, the option remains for the
town to simply upzone certain areas
without any strings attached, hoping
to encourage more development like
the Sagebrush Apartments, a 90-unit
apartment building proposed for West
Broadway. It was exempted from the af-
fordable housing requirement because
of the size and type of units.
One of the key questions to the
council, said Alex Norton, the town and
county long-range planner, is are we
adding units generally as a base zoning
or are they all tied to incentives.
Councilwoman Hailey Morton Levin-
son said she would like to see a mix of
all of the above.
I think that the incentives imple-
mented in D2 will certainly inform the
discussion around Districts 3 through
6, she said. Personally Id like to see
a combination. I would want to have in-
creased density on a base level but al-
low developers to go above and beyond
if they can meet certain requirements.
The council will discuss options dur-
ing a workshop Monday starting at
3 p.m. The council encouraged those
looking to weigh in to comment during
this meeting so it can move on the dis-
cussion phase with a good grasp on the
communitys will.

County sets protocols
for Snake transfers
Framework highlights
questions county must
answer about access,
use on BLM parcels.
By Allie Gross
County commissioners approved a
set of guidelines to shape the transfer
of 24 Bureau of Land Management
parcels to Teton County ownership.
The land exchange guidelines
specify that the terms of each trans-
fer will be based upon a common set
of values and conditions and will be
uniform and consistent with one
another.
We tried to add a little bit more
structure and a little bit more detail
to what well be looking for when
we acquire these parcels from the
BLM, Teton County Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners Chairman Mark
Photo: David Swift
Newcomb said.
He said its especially important
to have a guiding document because
three seats on the commission are
313336
up for election next year, and newly
elected commissioners will be able
326296
to refer to the document for future
transfers. He said it allows the
county to look at the Snake River
corridor as a whole as it sorts
through the minutiae of transferring
several parcels next month.
The whole process to get those
guidelines did help us develop that
comprehensive view, he said.
The county is drafting three
agreements with landowners to take
over five parcels, which are set to
be approved at the boards Sept. 5
meeting.
Because federal lands are involved
a special bill must be introduced in
Congress. Once the county reaches
agreements with the parcels neigh-
bors, it will request that U.S. Sen.
John Barrasso draft federal legisla-
tion authorizing the transfer of a
bundle of five parcels.
Supplementing the plan
The guidelines OKd by the coun-
ty supplement the 2008 Snake River
Corridor Management/Ownership
Transfer Plan, which was developed
by the Snake River Fund in conjunc-
tion with stakeholders that ranged
from Wyoming Game and Fish to the
Jackson Hole Land Trust, detailing
conditions and recommendations for
each parcel.
With the approved framework the
county solidified its commitment
to placing conservation easements
on the properties transferred to the
county, granting the Jackson Hole
Land Trust the first right of refusal.
But the details of the agreements
and the easements are still up for
negotiation with adjacent landown-
ers. The guidelines highlight that
the county must determine livestock
grazing permissions, as well as al-
lowances for roads, parking facili-
ties, restrooms, water wells, dead
tree removal and recreational ac-
cess, including whether the areas
will be strictly for day use.
For example, the 2008 master
plan suggests exploring the poten-
tial for river-accessed overnight
camping on the parcels. The com-
missioners must determine whether
to leave the parcels open to that type
of use before it signs the agreements
with landowners and forwards sug-
gestions to Barrasso.
One parcel, one easement
Conservation easements can
have varying degrees of restrictions
and allowances, said attorney Ste-
fan Fodor, who represents two of the
landowners involved. Each, in some
respects, are unique, and the specif-
ics of what is allowed is going to af-
fect the future use and appearance of
those parcels. The specifics of the con-
servation easement are paramount.
Each Jackson Hole Land Trust
easement is tailored to the conserva-
tion values at a particular site, such
as wildlife habitat, agriculture or
recreation.
Recreational easements and min-
eral rights present other issues the
county must resolve. Deputy Coun-
ty Attorney Keith Gingery suggest-
ed including recreational easements
from landowners who neighbor the
properties to ensure that boaters on
the river can get out of their boats
on lands that are being transferred
from the BLM to the county without
trespassing.
However, landowner Bill Resor
suggested that the question was
best resolved in a separate process
involving the landowners down the
entire length of the Snake.

MOR MON ROW HOME STE A D

The history of Jackson Hole is rich and rife with relics of the past passed down for generations as a legacy of
the founding settlers. Many of these relics have been preserved through the conservation efforts of Grand Teton
National Park and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. in the late 1920s and early 1930s. While most homesteaders eventually
resolved to sell their land to Mr. Rockefeller and/or the National Park, the Moulton family decided to retain 1 acre
of land in what is now known as the Mormon Row Historic District. This single acre of land is now completely
surrounded by Grand Teton National Park, effectively the largest acre in the country. Historic buildings famous to
photographers worldwide, herds of wondering bison, and the spectacular Teton Range rising in the background
are this propertys backyard. Currently the property is owned and operated by decedents of the original Moulton
family as summer cabin rentals. Unprecedented in its historical value, prestige and beauty, this property is ready
for its next chapter in history.

them to take over the cabin
business. There are 12 grand-
kids younger than 10 who he
and his wife would like to see
more often, Hal said.
The Blakes, who just turned
60, have lived on the Row and
run the Moulton Ranch Cabins
for 20 years and think its time
for a change. The complica-
tions of aging mom and scat-
tered family, the anticipated

Remaining hopeful for a buyer with good intentions

Land along Mormon Row began selling
to new owners as early as the 1930s, when
John D. Rockefeller Jr., already envisioning a
national park that spread beyond the Tetons,
began secretively buying land through his
Snake River Land Company.
Many settlers fought the idea of the park,
but times were hard.
Most sold out during the Depression, real
estate agent Chad Budge said.
But attitudes about the park changed, Hal
Blake said. Most of his relatives came to see the
park as the best way to preserve the area, and
he agrees.
The park coming in really saved all this,
he said last week.
And though hes now trying to sell, he
hopes that the urge to preserve can continue.
But its difficult. Its not a good time politically
or financially for the National Park Service to
enlarge its holdings, even in special cases like
the last of the Moulton land.
Were always interested in protecting property
and keeping it preserved, said Denise Germann,
chief spokeswoman for Grand Teton National Park.
But there are no government funds available.
And the park has nearly no control over what
would happen if the land were to be sold, and
would depend entirely on Teton County zoning
to direct any redevelopment.
We manage government land, Germann
said. Its private property. ... We dont have
any power or right to get involved.
Blake heard the same when he informally
approached the park: They dont have any
acquisition funds, he said.
The Blakes also let the nonprofit Grand
Teton National Park Foundation know the land
was on the market. They dont know if the
foundation will be able to help.
Iola Blake got the impression the foundation
would like to help, but hasnt heard of any action.
They have not said no, she said. They
havent said one way or the other.
Fundraising by the foundation or any
other preservation group would be welcome,
Germann said.
If theres an opportunity, if some
organization is looking at this parcel, we would
be interested, she said.
Blake remains hopeful that whether public
or private the buyer will come to the table not
just with cash but with good intentions.
We would love it if we could find the right
kind of buyer who was interested in preserving
this, he said.

Bridger-Teton National Forest North Zone Fire Prevention Specialist Lesley Williams-Gomez carries a used garbage bag from a vacant Shadow Mountain
campsite back to her truck Saturday. U.S. Forest Service employees made frequent patrols of popular dispersed camping areas during the weekend leading
up to the eclipse, contacting campers to educate them on fire restrictions and responsible food storage habits.

By Erika Dahlby
Lesley Williams-Gomez gathered with a few
dozen people in a meadow atop Shadow Mountain
to experience totality during the Great American
Eclipse.
The Bridger-Teton National Forest had spent
more than a year preparing for the big show. And
Williams-Gomez, north zone fire prevention spe-
cialist, was crucial to the execution of the event,
making daily patrols up and down the popular
camping area.
But for a little over two minutes she stopped re-
minding people of the fire restrictions and giving
eclipse-viewing instructions. She lay down in the
grass and looked up at the sky of course, with
her eclipse glasses on.
A breeze rushed over the meadow, and dark-

Mountains. A 360-degree view showed sunset skies
on the horizon and a dazzling moon-covered sun
high in the sky.
Williams-Gomez stood up in disbelief and joined
the cheering of the small crowd.
And then it was gone.
Its so fleeting, she said, still gazing at the sky.
It just wasnt enough.
It was Rhys Mckinstrys last day as an intern
with the U.S. Forest Service.
Ill remember that for the rest of my life, he said.
A similar feeling swept through the groups on
Shadow Mountain.
I think theres this really unique buzz, Wil-
liams-Gomez said. I think it brought unity for a lot
of folks.
Altogether, she estimated about 150 to 200 groups
on the mountain, with about 800 people viewing the
celestial event.
Ive never seen so many people up here, she
said. Ive never seen so many positive people up
here.
Theres something different about experiencing
totality in the forest, as opposed to being in a city or
even Jackson.
People wanted to experience it outdoors, Wil-

are coming to this place that we call home, and its
just exciting.
But all those people had to go somewhere. There
is normally room for about 23 groups on Shadow
Mountain, so the eclipse brought out about eight
times the average.
On Williams-Gomezs Saturday patrol the area
really filled up.
She said people started setting up tents two
weeks before, and by Thursday the main sites were
full. But she knew more people were coming.
Were going to have so many people, she said
Saturday. Where are we going to put them?
It was a tough question, one Williams-Gomez had
to try to answer every time she saw a truck pulled
over crushing the grass or knew a no camping
stake had been yanked from the earth.
Its one of the reasons a fire restriction was put in
place. There was already a strain on resources, and
if a fire broke loose in the middle of the mountain,
hundreds of people could be cut off.

Thats one way we can minimize any sort of haz-

But everyone was respectful and responsible,
she said. For the high volume of traffic on the small
mountain there was only a dog bite and 11 fire viola-
tions from Thursday through Monday.
That is pretty phenomenal, she said.
After the last sliver of the moon disappeared
from in front of the sun there was a sort of mass
exodus off the mountain. But it was orderly, Wil-

They figured out where to put portable toilets,
where to stage information stations and what to do
in case of an emergency.
Staff was brought in from other agencies: Mark
Twain National Forest, Coconino National Forest
and the regional forest office in Utah. People like
Randy Griebel, a wildlife biologist for the Bridger-
Teton, swapped their desks for patrol seats the week
of the eclipse. It was all hands on deck.
On Aug. 16, the week before the eclipse, Bridger-
Teton officials hosted a training day for personnel
working the event. There were different stations
that helped the patrollers develop their talking
points and understand what to do in an emergency.
I think it set everyone up for success, Williams-
Gomez said. Things went really smoothly.
Williams-Gomez said that when shes on patrol
in the forest theres always something that happens
or that she sees that reminds her how beautiful the
Bridger-Teton is. But the total solar eclipse was a
little different.
This truly was amazing, she said. There are no
bad days on the forest, but that was just incredible.
The meadow at the top of Shadow has edged its
way into her favorite spots.
Ill look at the spot on Shadow so differently
now, she said.
She hoped the people who experienced the eclipse
with her on Shadow, and throughout the Bridger-
Teton walk away with a good feeling about their
public lands.
They were visiting their backyard, she said. Its
theirs, and they can come back any time they want.

M
ost people in Jackson Hole were
moved by Mondays total solar
eclipse, but only a few played an
important role in its scientific documen-
tation. And those who did were mostly
under age 16.
Three Jackson Hole High School
students and two teachers joined an
astronomer and other citizen scientists
from Pinedale for a once-in-a-lifetime
science experiment during the eclipse:
filming the solar corona during total-
ity for NASA and the National Science
Foundation.
Astronomy is really cool, said Ju-
lian Web, a sophomore at Jackson Hole
High School. Using a telescope to look
at the eclipse makes it that much more
special. Besides this I probably would
have just been sitting on my back porch
looking at the eclipse. This makes it 10
times better.
The group was positioned in the Gros
Ventre Mountains at Lower Slide Lake.
It was one of 68 teams along the path
of totality stationed from South Caro-
lina to Oregon and was armed with
a fancy telescope camera. It was part of
the Citizen Continental-America Tele-
scopic Eclipse Experiment, also known
as the CATE project. Every team was
trained to take white-light coronal im-
ages. The images will be stitched to-
gether, providing a new tool for scien-
tific investigations.
The group was especially interested
in capturing the solar corona, an aura of
plasma that surrounds the sun.
Thats something as humans we
havent gathered a lot of data on, said
citizen scientist and Jackson Hole High
School physics teacher Orion Bellorado.
Its so we can know more and more

about our universe.
A self-proclaimed nerd, Bellorado be-
came involved with the CATE project
in the fall and recruited fellow teacher
and hallway neighbor Joshua Byrnes to
help.
The coolest part for me is the op-
portunity it provides to just allow us to
do real science, said Byrnes, a math
teacher. Its something thats so rare.
So many science projects are goofy little
things that happen here and there but
arent as impactful.
The project will provide the longest-
ever recording of the solar corona, they
said. When its all stitched together the
combined footage will be about 90 min-
utes long.
I mean this is NSF. Its NASA,
Byrnes said. Its as science as you can
get. I just think its so cool to get to be
a part of that.
Knowing theyd get to keep the tele-
scope for school projects after the ex-
periment, the two trained in Laramie at

the University of Wyoming at the end of
October.
There were many more people than
there were telescopes, Bellorado said.
NSF grants, though, if you get one of
those youre kind of a gangster.
That was where the two met Free-
dom resident LaVor Jenkins, a retired
dairy farmer and astronomy enthusiast.
Jenkins has dedicated his retirement to
building an observatory and learning
about space.
Im always walking around looking
up, Jenkins said. I just bought one of
everything, and the last seven or eight
years learned how to use it. I built an
observatory, and I do imaging of the sun
and also night stuff.
Jenkins became aware of the CATE
project a few years ago.

big moment.
Its been fun working with these
kids, Jenkins said. Weve had a lot of
equipment failures. We couldnt get the
GPS to work. I had to take it to pieces.
The group, plus many others, camped
out above Lower Slide Lake the night
before in order to have plenty of time
for test runs. The U.S. Forest Service
agreed to block off a spot for them.
We were fortunate enough the For-
est Service gave us this spot, Byrnes
said.
In the name of science and educa-
tion, Bellorado said, about half-joking.
Their camp attracted other astron-
omy enthusiasts Sunday night. By
nightfall they were all sharing three
telescopes, including a homemade one
that traveled all the way from France,
to look at globular clusters and Saturns
rings. With no clouds and high winds,
the citizen scientists scattered to their
tents to rest up for eclipse day.
The morning was filled with antici-
pation and practice runs, but it wasnt
without technical worries. It took the
team about 20 minutes to get the sun in
frame, but by 11, just in time, they were
ready to go.
Oh, man, its coming, Bellorado
said. This is so awesome.
A student from Pinedale and the
three Jackson Hole High School stu-
dents were in charge, sitting at the con-
trols, recording temperature drops and
other secondary data.

In 1979, the last total eclipse in the

on the University of Wyomings website.
Before the internet and digital cam-
eras, we had a few pictures here and
there. This is the first time we can do
this experiment.
The teachers and students were
humbled to play a small role in the ex-

what they saw. Now they get to look
forward to what their data provides for
science.
These are grants that move science

entire UW student population, 42 per-

their first semester at UW with an av-
erage 2.98 GPA.
A study done by the University of Il-
linois last year indicated that the first-
semester GPA is the most influential
factor in predicting graduation. The
study noted that students who had a
2.84 GPA or above were very likely to go
on and graduate, while students with a
2.2 GPA were considered very likely to
drop out.
Aguayo said thats why the univer-
sity is trying to bring up freshman first-
semester grades.
We are working really hard as an in-
tending class. Then the university can
follow up on the student through an ad-
visor or someone in the residence halls.
That catches problems before it is too
late to make grades turn around.
If this occurs early on in the semes-
ter, theyll have plenty of opportunities
to do well in this term and pass the
course successfully, Aguayo said.
Other resources include free tutoring
in the courses that first-semester stu-
dents tend to struggle in, as well as ac-
cess to tutoring centers for math, writ-
ing and oral communications.

recent graduates from Jackson Hole High School. Here are more trends and tidbits:
Since the 2009 school year 241 graduates of the high school have gone on to the University
of Wyoming. Central Wyoming College comes in second, with 65 enrolled from the high school, and
Montana State University in Bozeman was third with 31 Jackson Hole students since 2009.
SNOW KING CENTER

Jackson Hole High School has a graduation rate between 95 and 97 percent.
Between 2009 and 2016, 47 percent to 56 percent of the graduating class enrolled in a four-year
institution after graduation. During the same time, 7 percent to 17 percent enrolled directly in a two-
year institution after graduation.
Students who stayed in school for a second year, on average: 75 percent.
Since 2012 a higher percentage of female students returned for their second year of college
compared with their male counterparts.
In 2016 less than 50 percent of graduating male students enrolled immediately in any higher
education institution. Roughly 80 percent of females did. Karen Wattenmaker, data and assessment
coordinator for Teton County School District, called it a pretty interesting demographic split but
thinks it might be a one-year trend. We will be watching future results carefully to identify if there is
an issue and if so, how we address it, Wattenmaker said.
School district officials said they are gathering additional on the Latino student population, with
an unspecified release date.
NOTE: Not every school, especially private schools, is required to report data to the National
Student Clearinghouse, which gathered much of this information. No students from Summit High
School are included in the report because the small number of students there made it impossible to
mask identities, Wattenmaker said.

Cattlemans Bridge buckled and was
closed June 8 due to spring flooding.
WYDOT had already planned to replace
the bridge in 2018, but the state agency
is accelerating the bidding process by
about a month.
The new two-lane bridge is estimated
to be completed in late summer or early
fall 2018.
WYDOT and Teton County explored
a number of options, including fixing
the existing bridge, constructing a sep-
arate bypass and requesting that the
National Guard build an emergency
bypass. The county decided to wait un-
til WYDOT builds its bypass as part
of the bridge replacement project be-
cause an additional bypass or repairs
would have cost $150,000 to $350,000
and would not have been completed
until mid-September, according to

Sean OMalley.
Eclipse glasses recalled locally
Jackson Pediatrics realized just days
before the solar eclipse that it had dis-
tributed recalled eclipse glasses.
Dr. Travis Riddell estimated the re-
call was about two dozen glasses. Ama-
zon sent the pediatricians office a noti-
fication Aug. 16 that some of the paper
glasses it gave out may not have been
properly certified for safe direct viewing
of the sun.
Amazon didnt name the manufac-
turer in question or any identifying
details, but Riddell said better safe
than sorry.
The Amazon recall appears to be
made out of an abundance of caution,
Riddell said. Although its not clear that
the glasses we distributed are in fact
faulty, since we cannot guarantee their
effectiveness we recommend throwing
them away and not using them for any
solar viewing.

Eclipse watchers share their

experience of the event
that darkened the valley.
Staff Report

It was just two minutes of darkness.

But for some, it was months or years in the
making and a memory that will last a lifetime.
Visitors and locals gathered on top of peaks,
along highways in national parks and forests
and on Town Square to watch as the moon slid
in front of the sun and plunged the valley into a
peaceful, yet eerie, dusk.
News&Guide staff posted up around the com-
munity to capture the experience from those
who traveled here, those who live here, those
who have never seen an eclipse and those who
have seen many.
Seattle resident Rachelle Koren, who
watched the event from a rock atop Rendez-
vous Peak with her partner, possibly put it best:
Even though theres 798 strangers up here, it
feels like we all share something.
Traveling to Teton County
Many of the people who viewed the total so-
lar eclipse in or around Teton County made spe-
cific travel plans to get here by Monday, some-
times making arrangements months or years in
advance.

TETON VILLAGE Trip planning started
for Kelly Powrie a year ago.
She remembered viewing the 1979 eclipse in
Florida and wanted her children, 14-year-old
Ian and 11-year-old Lauren, to have the same
opportunity.
She was only in third grade when the eclipse
came through Jacksonville in the late 70s, and
they viewed it through pinhole cameras.
I dont remember it getting dark or even
cloudy, she said. But I remember it was ex-
citing.
When she heard a total solar eclipse would
make its way across the country, she started
planning a trip out west from their home in
Durham, North Carolina.
It was the eclipse that helped me choose to
come here, she said.
The family spent a week hiking, biking and
paddleboarding in Grand Teton National Park
before making its way to Jackson Hole Moun-
tain Resort for the big event.
The family headed up the mountain with 800
other ticketholders who had purchased a view-
ing spot on the peak of Rendezvous Mountain.
The town planned for the worst, and youre
getting the best, Powrie said before boarding
the Aerial Tram at 8:36 a.m. We didnt expe-
rience crowds on the way here and we didnt
experience shortages of any kind. We have our
glasses, food, water everything we need.

Newbies to a (total) eclipse
Many of Mondays viewers had seen
a partial solar eclipse though pinhole
cameras, but Mondays total solar
eclipse was the first dip into totality for
a lot of watchers.
MOOSE Alan Loo had never seen
an eclipse before, and he wasnt messing
around with his camera equipment. His
setup looked legit enough to perhaps be
scientific, but it was simply to take the
best personal photos possible.
A computer setup controlled several
telescopic cameras and tracked the sun
to take pictures.
This way, I dont have to worry about
it, Loo said. I can just kick back, relax
and enjoy the view.
After seeing a partial eclipse in 1979,
Loo said he looked toward the future.
I said, I am going to the one in
2017, Loo said. This was on my buck-
et list.
Nick Young, who made the trip from
Salt Lake City with his mother, Cheryl
Young, and his two children, said the ex-
perience was priceless.
The cost didnt matter, Young said.
It doesnt matter when there is a once-
in-a-lifetime opportunity.
His mom said real life was so much
better than the pictures.

We watched YouTube videos and
all of that, Nick Young said. But you
see it in person, and its just so differ-
ent. Wow.
Experienced umbraphiles
Eclipse chasers flocked to Jackson
Hole to see the event, saying it was a
unique experience to check off a bucket
list, even though some had seen many
others across the globe.
TOWN SQUARE Tony Vaughn
was hooked from the minute he first
saw a total solar eclipse in his home-
town of Cornwall, England, in 1999.
I always watched space movies as
a kid hoping to go to space one day,
he said. Seeing a total solar eclipse is
the closest Ill ever get. Its an addic-
tion now.
Since then hes witnessed eight to-
tal solar eclipses in as many countries,
traveling to Australia, China, Libya,
Russia, Greenland, Pakistan, the Faroe
Islands and now the United States to
view them.
Its a great excuse to go to interest-
ing places, Vaughn said. It plans your
holidays for you.
Just minutes after totality Vaughn
BRADLY J. BONER / NEWS&GUIDE
began to tentatively plan a trip for the
next total solar eclipse, which will take
place in South America in 2019. His
girlfriend, Gina Crosby, giggled to her-
self and rolled her eyes.
Having never been to the U.S., she
had been particularly excited about to-
tality occurring near Grand Teton Na-
tional Park this year because alcohol
is served here, unlike in Libya, and it
provided them with an opportunity to
explore the western United States.
It was so easy being in Jackson this
year, she said. We flew right into Ve-
gas and were able to see a lot of amazing
sights road-tripping.
After the eclipse Vaughn and Cros-
by planned to spend three days in the
Yellowstone region before heading to
the Badlands, Craters of the Moon,
and Arches and Canyonlands nation-
al parks.
JACKSON HOLE MOUNTAIN
RESORT It had been 35 years since
California resident Barbara Bessey had
last visited the Tetons, but she was hap-
py to return to check off her 11th eclipse
viewing.

Oaxaca, Mexico.

that gave you the opportunity to see all
the details, she said. It was beautiful.
She has traveled the world to see it
again, visiting Turkey twice, as well as
Belize, Venezuela and South Africa.
This time she traveled with Betchart
Expeditions, which took a group
through a couple of national parks, mu-
seums and, of course, to the top of Ren-
dezvous Peak for the eclipse. It was one
of the larger crowds she had been in to
view an eclipse.
Some of the eclipses Ive been on, its
only the group Ive been with, she said.
Each time Ive seen one its been just a
little bit different. You just sort of enjoy
it for what it gives you.
Tony Crocker and Liz OMara admit
it was a bit spur of the moment, but the
two eclipse chasers tied the knot after
totality. Theyd been together for six
years, but the wedding had only been in
the works for about a month.
Former Teton County judge Terry
Rogers officiated the ceremony on the
peak of Rendezvous Mountain.
Ive done weddings up here on this
mountain before but never centered
around an eclipse, he said.
The two met on an eclipse-themed
online site, both sharing an interest in
traveling the world to see the celestial
events. He has viewed 11 eclipses in
Hungry, Zimbabwe and Egypt, among
other locations and she has been to
Turkey and Libya as part of her journey
to check off nine.
As of Monday the two had viewed
five eclipses together, but OMara
put the Aug. 21 eclipse on the top of
her list.
Its the most beautiful eclipse Ive
ever seen, she said.

Yellowstone National Park to the sound of cars. They
knew they needed to get moving if they wanted to
make it to Jackson in time.
We were scared of all the traffic, Pelucchi-
Addison said. Theyd traveled from Michigan to
see the event and managed to find a parking spot
at the Moose viewing station in Grand Teton Na-
tional Park.
She saw a total solar eclipse in Germany in 1999.
On Monday they eagerly awaited her next one.
A partial eclipse is just not the same, Pelucchi-
Addison, born in Italy, said. Totality is mind-blow-
ing. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
MOOSE When chasing an eclipse its crucial to
have a backup plan.
For Anand Bhatia from California, Grand Teton
National Park wasnt his first choice.
Kansas City had thunderstorms, he said. This
was my backup spot.
Bhatia said he was lucky to find a flight into
Jackson on Sunday morning. Reclined in a camp
chair, with a telescope pointed toward the sun, he
seemed pleased with his decision.
A shared but unique experience
Most eyes were pointed in the same direction
as totality took over the valley, but those watch-
ing experienced the event a little differently.
MOOSE Overheard during totality:
screams, howls and cheering.
Here it comes!
That was weird!
We survived!
This is amazing!
Did you see that?
RENDEZVOUS MOUNTAIN Steve Muc-
zynski and Carly Slawson traveled with Slaw-
sons parents from San Diego to see the eclipse
over Jackson Hole, and the group was one of the
lucky ones to catch the moons shadow racing
over the valley before totality.
It got so cold, Slawson said. Youre in awe
and its amazing, and when [totality] passed I re-
alized I couldnt feel my hands.
The temperature dropped between 10 to 15
degrees on the peak of Rendezvous Mountain,
where hundreds had bought tickets up the Aerial
Tram to view the event.
It was like watching the coolest sci-fi movie in

real life, Muczynski said.
Martha Clarkson drove up from Crested Butte,
Colorado, to see the eclipse with her family, but
she admitted a bit of uneasiness settled in dur-
ing the 2 minutes of totality.
It was a mixture between excitement and
anxiety, she said. I definitely felt like I was
shivering.
From Rendezvous Clarkson watched the val-
ley fall into darkness midmorning Monday, as
pink and orange hues brushed the mountaintops.
Its like a sunset, she said. The colors just
raced across, and they filled the whole sky.
I wasnt sure where to look, said her son, Ja-
see the horizon.
The most memorable part for her, however,
came right at the very end, when the suns rays
first burst back onto the landscape, a phenom-
enon known as the diamond ring effect.
Its like a starburst, she said. It really was
perfect. Im still in awe.
SLIDE LAKE Moments before totality,
Erie, Colorado, resident Corey Wright comforted
his 2-year-old.
Were playing a game with the sun, Wright
told his daughter, Emerson. Its like hide-and-
seek with the sun. But youll be safe.
Emerson was more amused with an airplane
in the sky than the darkness.
Erin Wright experienced the event with her
toddler in her arms and standing next to her hus-
band, Corey.
I really feel like I could cry, Wright said.
That was otherworldly.
GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK Kim-
iko Kanos eyes overflowed with tears during to-
tality. Even after the sun was out again and the
moon began to move away, she couldnt stop crying.
She camped Friday at the north end of Grand
Teton National Park. It was her first time here, but
she had come to Yellowstone when she was younger.
Ill remember this for the rest of my life, Kano
said. Her friend, Hoyoul Kang, said they knew peo-
ple who might have just gotten engaged.
They shot off a text saying congratulations, just
in case.
It would have been such a good time to propose,
Kang said. With the diamond ring from the sun
and everything, it would have been perfect.
GROS VENTRE Alan Byrnes, of Erie, Col-
orado, made the trip to Slide Lake with his whole
family.
Ive seen eclipses, Byrnes said with a huge
smile on his face. That was something different.
It was really remarkable.
Byrnes was still taking it all in as the sun
came back out.
You sense a difference in the planets, he
said. That was amazing. Im so glad we came.

Six Flags over the Snake
A waterpark on the Snake? The Snake is
designated a Wild & Scenic river. News
flash: Waterparks are neither wild nor scenic.
But a local group is busy arguing just that,
claiming their waterpark is a proper use.
Wisely, county commissioners voted down
their proposed waterpark in a 3-2 vote.
Unfortunately, its far from dead.
A group of kayakers wants to reshape river
bedrock to create an artificial protuberance
so boaters can catch waves and surf man-
made hydraulics. Never mind

for construction appears
insatiable. While most in our community are
conservationists in love with natural beauty,
a few want to harness this mighty waterway
once called the Mad River. They want to
subdue, conquer, and Disney-fy the Snake in
the name ofdont laughconservation.
Some members of this private group of river
runners are transparent enough. An owner of
a kayak shop wants to make sure he has steady
customers for decades to come. Others are
mysterious, including an anonymous financial
backer ready to donate $500,000. All to make
a play-land out of the South Park stretch of the
mighty Snake. People rarely drop a half-million
without an expected return on investment.

After years of low interest rates in
the aftermath of the Great Recession,
This community has worked hard to protect
400 miles of the Snake and its tributaries, to
keep them Wild & Scenic.
Now, just a few years after the county has
taken decision making authority from the
BLM, some county leaders are ready to fire
up the bulldozers in the name of making our
riverbanks better.
Its shovel-ready, say the waterpark
advocates. But nature doesnt need a shovel.
It needs more Muirs and Muries.
Kathryn Wood-Meyer said it
well in this paper on August
Anyone who says the
community needs a park
in the Snake River for its
citizens to have fun is only
looking at the money that
can be made. The Jackson Hole area is one of
the few places on earth that has unbounded
natural recreation right out its back door.
She goes on to say: If the river needs cleaning
of bridge construction debris then clean it.
Dont pee on our legs and tell us its raining.
The Snake River doesnt need a waterpark
any more than the Grand Teton needs a Ferris
wheel.
If local politicians dont have the will to say no,
put it on the ballot and let the voters weigh
in. Lets leave this Wild & Scenic waterway
alone, free of mans fingerprints.

KATHRYN HOLLOWAY / NEWS&GUIDE
the Federal Reserve is expected to an-
nounce a plan to gradually detach the
monetary training wheels during its
annual economic symposium in Jack-
son this week.
The expected announcement comes
just after President Donald Trump re-
leased a plan to cut taxes. With the
majority of the cuts going to those
who make over $1 million a year,
some fear that returning to a philoso-
phy of trickle-down economics could
cause the economy to lose its recently
found balance.
It would kind of be a social ex-
periment, said Dr. Sherrill Shaffer,
the Guthrie Distinguished Professor
of Banking and Financial Services
at the University of Wyoming and a
former officer of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Philadelphia. The effect of
that proposed policy will depend cru-
cially on the effect it has on tax reve-
nue and the choices made throughout
the economy on business investment
and consumption.
The Federal Reserves annual sym-
posium at Jackson Lake Lodge has
brought some of the worlds most pow-
erful economic actors together since
1978 to discuss potential changes in

To revive the national economy
following the recession, the Federal
Reserve kept interest rates near zero
to give private individuals and busi-
nesses access to more capital. To en-
courage additional lending it enacted
a policy called quantitative easing.
Also known as QE, quantitative
easing involves the Federal Reserve
purchasing mass quantities of federal
treasury bonds, reducing the bonds
potential returns and thereby making
the securities less attractive to banks
and enticing financial institutions to
lend even more.
During the Great Recession the
Federal Reserve increased its bond
purchases from just under $1 billion
to $4.5 trillion. To attain the funding
to do so Congress allowed the Federal
Reserve banks to pay banks interest
for holding on to any excess reserves.
The problem with that is now $3.5

But a study conducted by the Insti-
tute of Taxation and Economic Policy
indicates that Trumps proposed tax
cuts could further undermine that
process. One half of 1 percent of
America earns more than $1 million
annually, the study says, yet in 2018
that elite group would receive 48.8
percent of the tax cuts proposed by
the Trump administration. The 44.6
percent of Americans who earn less
than $45,000 would receive just 4.4
percent of the tax cuts.
In real dollars that amounts to the
millionaires receiving an average tax
cut of more than $217,000 in 2018,
equal to 7 percent of their income.
Those making less than $45,000 a
year would receive an average tax cut
of just $230, equal to less than 1 per-
cent of their income.
Trump is hoping tax cuts for the
wealthy will stimulate the economy
by way of trickle-down economics, in-
creasing tax revenues as investments
from the 1 percent create more jobs
and increase wages for all.
Benefits do not trickle down
A 2016 study by the Internation-
al Monetary Fund, however, rebuts
that logic.
The benefits do not trickle down,
the study says. Higher inequality
lowers growth by depriving the abil-
ity of lower-income households to stay
healthy and accumulate physical and
human capital.
The study says a 1 percent increase
in the income share of the bottom
quintile of the economy results in a
0.38 percent increase in GDP. A 1 per-
cent increase in the income share of
the top 20 percent results in a 0.08
percent decrease in GDP growth.
As the Federal Reserve is expected
to announce a plan to gradually nor-
malize its bond holdings, potentially
putting trillion of dollars back into
play, Trumps tax proposal could force
the Federal Reserve to actually pur-
chase more bonds.
If revenue falls as a result of the
tax cuts and reduced tax rate, then
the government is going to have to
cut expenses, which is going to slow
down the economy, or the existing or
proposed government expenditures
will have to be financed somehow
other than tax revenues, Shaffer
said. That goes back to the treasury
having to issue even more bonds. Im
not necessarily predicting additional
rounds of quantitative easing, but
what I would foresee is that the Fed
would be likely to postpone the ini-
tiation of shrinking its bond holdings
back to more historical levels.

Cowboy lean: Officers stopped
to talk to a man around 2:15 a.m.
Thursday because he was staggering
and leaning on a fence post on Vir-
ginian Lane. The drunk man said he
was walking home but said he lived
at one-thousand-something Rancher
Street, which doesnt exist. He was
arrested for public intoxication.
Little Red Riding Hoodie: Po-
lice were called at 3 a.m. Thursday be-
cause a man wearing a red hoodie was
trying to get inside a house. When cops
got there the man was climbing over
the front-yard fence. He apologized
and said he was trying to get home,
Jackson police Lt. Roger Schultz said.
The 28-year-old from Washington was
arrested on charges of public intoxi-

that.
I think that farmers and ranchers,
especially ranchers, have gotten a bad
name over the years about how they treat
the environment, he said. And it was
probably deserved.
The Environmental Protection Agen-
cy credits 9 percent of total greenhouse
emissions in 2014 from the economic sec-
tor to agriculture. Almost a third of the
9 percent was attributed to methane, a
natural part of livestock digestion.
A market study on grass-fed beef
found the amount of manure is a contrib-
uting factor to greenhouse gas emissions.
Concentrations of manure in and around
feedlots also cause water pollution, the
study says.
In feedlots, large quantities of ma-
nure are concentrated in small areas,
becoming an environmental hazard, the
study states. When manure application
exceeds the lands capacity to assimilate
it, ammonia is rapidly volatilized and re-
turned to the atmosphere.
Its a situation Lockhart is working to
change.
I think when we start talking about
food as a bigger picture and how the
planet is going to survive with popula-
tion growth and climate change and what
farming is doing, mass production of ani-
mals for human consumption is not good
for the planet, he said. Its just not.
Instead of sending animals to a feed-
lot, Lockhart keeps all his steer calves
and grazes the herd on open pastures
using a regenerative grazing method,
which is shown to increase forage pro-
ductivity while increasing soil organic

matter, soil fertility and water-holding
capacity, according to the study.
Regenerative grazing means rotation-
al grazing. Animals graze in certain sec-
tions of a pasture for a given amount of
time, letting the other parts of the grass-
land rest and regrow.
Open space allows cattle manure to ab-
sorb into the ground and not become con-
centrated in one space. That means clean-
er air and cleaner water, Lockhart said.
I think thats how all our food should
be raised, in a sustainable method and
manner, he said. Thats the crux of this
BRADLY J. BONER / NEWS&GUIDE
food system.
But Lockhart takes it a step further
with cutting the fuels it takes to haul sup-
plies, and animals, in and out of the area.
If you start trucking in grain, or
shipping beef out to slaughter the whole
sustainability thing breaks down, he
said. Youre just a smaller version of the
big boys.
Theyre small things, he said, but they
add up when it comes to sustainability.
We can all do better, he said. We
should all try to do better for the planet
and our communities.

Lockhart Cattle Company acquired Hog Island Meats and took over processing at the start of July
in an effort to keep up with the demand for local beef in the valley.
Now the facility processes only Lockhart cattle.
Jesse Bauer, who graduated from the University of Wyomings Department of Animal Science
with an emphasis in meat science, was put in charge of the new program at the processing facility.
When youre on a small scale you have to be able to do it all and do it all well, Chase Lockhart
said. You can slow down. With each and every one its not about speed.
The last five minutes of an animals life is one of the most crucial times in beef production, said
Temple Grandin, a professor of animal science at Colorado State University and consultant to the
livestock industry on animal behavior. Stress, she said, damages the meat quality.
When it comes to humane handling you can do a good job or a bad job, she said. The size of
the facility is irrelevant. It comes down to how well they manage it.
That means keeping cattle comfortable and relaxed in the new environment until their last
moments.
Processing itself is fairly straightforward. One at a time, the cattle are herded through a chute
to the inside of the building and the knocking box. They are rapidly stunned with a bolt gun Its
basically a rod with a gunpowder cartridge to render the animal brain dead. They are then
hanged by one foot, and a cut to the throat drains them of blood.
The head, hooves, skin and organs are removed from the carcass which is then cut into quarters.
A Wyoming state inspector inspects all the parts, and the process itself, on site.
It takes about an hour for an animal to be processed from start until its on the rail in quarters.
The carcasses then chill and hang for three weeks. If the Lockharts are breaking down the carcass to
ship to restaurants or Jackson Whole Grocer, the packaging takes an additional two to three hours.
Our butcher does everything, Lockhart said. From kill the animal to cut the steaks to package
it and do the deliveries.

ter for the planet, better for the cows.
The fields usually melt out by late
May, and Lockhart starts farming in
July. A network of ditches that carry
water from Flat Creek feed the hayfield.
The grass reaches about 3 feet before
haying season starts. Then its nonstop
cutting, curing, baling and stacking.
Each acre produces about 3 tons of hay.
Cowboys hate farming, he said.
Each cow eats about 3 percent of its
body weight a day, so about 30 pounds
for an 18-month-old animal. Cows
weigh about 900 pounds at 18 months.
Steers will reach 1,100 to 1,400 pounds

an advocate for sustainability. He just
wanted to save the family ranch.

All cattle eat grass when theyre born. The term grass-fed beef refers to cattle that eat
grass their entire lives, as opposed to finishing on grain.
To qualify as grass-fed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture the animal must exclusively
consume grass and forage and have continuous access to pasture during the growing
season. Hay and other harvested forage are also allowed.
But is grass-fed beef really better for your health? Research from California State University
in Chico says it is, at least compared with grain-finished beef.
Red meat in general has gotten a bad rap in the age of fad diets and has been cut out of a
lot of diets to reduce cholesterol and fat.
The report, published in the 2010 Nutrition Journal, says red meat is nutrient dense and
regarded as an important source of essential amino acids, vitamins A, B6, B12, D, E and
minerals, including iron, zinc and selenium.
But a diet that consists of only grass can significantly alter the fatty acid composition and
improve the overall antioxidant content of beef.
Grass-fed beef is lower in overall fat, including unhealthy saturated fats and dietary
cholesterol. The beef is typically leaner than a grain-finished product.
It has higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and a higher ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 than
grain-finished beef, which is better for cardiovascular health. There are 37 to 65 milligrams
of omega-3s per serving. That is significantly better than corn-fed beef but meager compared
with wild Alaskan salmon, which contains about 1,000 milligrams, according to the USDA.
Grass-fed beef also has higher levels two to three times the amount in confined grain-
fed cattle of conjugated linoleic acid. Studies have shown that CLA can reduce carcinogens
and the onset of diabetes.
There are also higher levels of vitamins A and E, beta-carotene, as well as antioxidants
and minerals.
Grass-fed beef sometimes has a yellow coloring to its fatty areas. That may be off-putting
to some, but comes from carotenoids in lush green forages and is associated with a healthier
fatty acid profile and higher antioxidant content.

club community. Its the easiest way to reach
the family ranchs river bottom pasture.
After passing million-dollar homes he reaches a
gate that reads Lockhart in old red paint. His dog,
Spud, hops off the truck bed.
The road turns to dirt and gravel, and steers
graze on lush grass under mature cottonwood trees.
Others lap up water that flows in from the nearby
Snake River. Its quiet, a stark contrast to the luxury

This is what free range means to me, he says.
Calves spend their first summer with their moth-

Because of the small scale as compared with
the nearly 400 cattle that can be processed a day in
a large commercial facility a single butcher over-
sees the entire process. Annually, about 250 Lock-
hart animals move through the facility.
Lockhart says its important the cattle are hu-
manely raised, but how they are slaughtered is just
as important.
I deeply care about all my animals or I wouldnt do
it the way I do, he says.
It can be hard for outsiders to understand. After

How, in two years, can you kill this?
Theres no reason for this calf to even be here if it
wasnt eventually turning into beef, he says. That
animal has a life thats bigger than itself. It helped
create jobs, it helped save the ranch, it helped feed
people a sustainable product.

The Lockhart Cattle Company is an operation
akin to none other in the county. Cattle are born,
raised, processed and sold within Teton County.
If you were to close all the roads in and out
of Teton County my ranch would look the same,
Lockhart said. Except for diesel. I need diesel to do
the farming.
The cattle eat a diet made up of 100 percent grass
as do the steers used for beef and live in open
pastures, using rotational grazing methods.
When Lockhart talks about his ranch, his animals
and the program hes built the conversation always
returns to one particular theme: sustainability.
Thats really what it comes down to, he said.
Are we building a sustainable food model?
Cattle ranching, and agriculture in general, has
had a bad reputation when it comes to sustainability
and its environmental impact. He doesnt dispute

Comment on land exchange
A potential land swap is in the
works to hand over 80 acres of pri-
vate land hugging the Gros Ventre
River to the Bridger-Teton National
Forest.
In return the landowner, former
U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, of Wisconsin,
would be given a 45-acre riverside
strip of national forest adjacent to
his 160-acre Red Hills Ranch. Two
years ago Kohl donated the 990-acre
Upper Gros Ventre River Ranch to
the Trust for Public Land, which will
eventually turn that acreage over to
the Bridger-Teton.

Kristen Omlor, and her 4-year-old daughter, Raelyn Omlor, read together during Thursdays barbecue at Jackson
Elementary School. The event was held to prep incoming kindergartners and their parents for the first day of school.
Cookout for kindergarteners
Families kick off
first year of elementary
school with a party.
By Kylie Mohr
S
tarting kindergarten is a monu-
mental life step for children
and parents.
Jackson Elementary School wel-
comed families Thursday night to
help ease the transition for moms,
dads and kids at a barbecue to meet
others also heading into elementary
school.
The cafeteria was packed as in-
coming students waved to their
classmates and excitedly ran around.
Its a year of change in the Teton
County School District. The in-town
schools were reconfigured this sum-
mer, meaning both Jackson and Col-
ter elementary schools will see kin-
dergartners through fifth-graders.
For the first time in a long time the
youngest students will be at both
schools.
Tracy Poduska, the new principal
at Jackson Elementary School, wel-
comed families with a short program
that was also translated in Spanish.
She introduced Bo Miller, the prin-
cipal of Colter Elementary School,
and Scott Eastman, the previous
principal at Jackson and the incom-
ing principal at Munger Mountain
Elementary School, set to open in
fall 2018.
An exercise hosted by the Teton
Literacy Center, which also gave
away books to every student at the
dinner, broke the ice. Kids sang
along with a popular childrens book
character, Pete the Cat, as he went

about a typical school day. The sur-
prisingly catchy tune oriented stu-
dents to their new academic life,
including riding the school bus and
dining in the cafeteria.
Emotions of incoming kindergart-
ners ranged from excited to a little
worried about starting school. Five-
year-old Lucila Sharp fell on the lat-
ter end of the spectrum, admitting
shes nervous.
Her parents said they are encour-
aging her with incentives. After she
learned how to spell her name con-
fidently, for example, she got to get
her ears pierced, said her mother,
Shelby Scharp.
Shes pretty proud, dad Trey
Scharp said.
Miller said he understands the
nerves. He has three children, ages
19, 17, and 15, and sent the oldest

one off to college last fall. Turning
your kids over to teachers, Miller
said, is an act of faith and trust.
Its one of the key moments in
life as a parent and as a child, Mill-
er said of starting kindergarten. It
heralds in a new stage. Its bitter-
sweet, but its so joyful.
Calla Grimes said she and her
5-year-old son, Theo, are looking for-
ward to the next step.
It definitely does feel like a big
milestone, Grimes said. But hes
excited to learn and excited to read.
Theos cousin went to Jackson El-
ementary School last year, Grimes
said. She expects having a friendly
face among others in the halls will
help his adjustment tremendously.

curbed a bit because she has already
been to her dads workplace.
Shes more than ready, Hoffman
said.
Miller said hes excited about the
reconfiguration, which will allow
staff to get to know students and
families for six years.
Weve always had community
schools, but this model is better,
Miller said.
Its better for community and
family engagement, he said. Ill
get to know everyone more and form
relationships.

that.
I think that farmers and ranchers,
especially ranchers, have gotten a bad
name over the years about how they treat
the environment, he said. And it was
probably deserved.
The Environmental Protection Agen-
cy credits 9 percent of total greenhouse
emissions in 2014 from the economic sec-
tor to agriculture. Almost a third of the
9 percent was attributed to methane, a
natural part of livestock digestion.
A market study on grass-fed beef
found the amount of manure is a contrib-
uting factor to greenhouse gas emissions.
Concentrations of manure in and around
feedlots also cause water pollution, the
study says.
In feedlots, large quantities of ma-
nure are concentrated in small areas,
becoming an environmental hazard, the
study states. When manure application
exceeds the lands capacity to assimilate
it, ammonia is rapidly volatilized and re-
turned to the atmosphere.
Its a situation Lockhart is working to
change.
I think when we start talking about
food as a bigger picture and how the
planet is going to survive with popula-
tion growth and climate change and what
farming is doing, mass production of ani-
mals for human consumption is not good
for the planet, he said. Its just not.
Instead of sending animals to a feed-
lot, Lockhart keeps all his steer calves
and grazes the herd on open pastures
using a regenerative grazing method,

ductivity while increasing soil organic

matter, soil fertility and water-holding
capacity, according to the study.
Regenerative grazing means rotation-
al grazing. Animals graze in certain sec-
tions of a pasture for a given amount of
time, letting the other parts of the grass-
land rest and regrow.
Open space allows cattle manure to ab-
sorb into the ground and not become con-
centrated in one space. That means clean-
er air and cleaner water, Lockhart said.
I think thats how all our food should
be raised, in a sustainable method and
manner, he said. Thats the crux of this

food system.
But Lockhart takes it a step further
with cutting the fuels it takes to haul sup-
plies, and animals, in and out of the area.
If you start trucking in grain, or
shipping beef out to slaughter the whole
sustainability thing breaks down, he
said. Youre just a smaller version of the
big boys.
Theyre small things, he said, but they
add up when it comes to sustainability.
We can all do better, he said. We
should all try to do better for the planet
and our communities.

had any lovin in a year, family friend Joey Budge said.
Processing the beef
Lockhart Cattle Company acquired Hog Island Meats and took over processing at the start of July
in an effort to keep up with the demand for local beef in the valley.
Now the facility processes only Lockhart cattle.
Jesse Bauer, who graduated from the University of Wyomings Department of Animal Science
with an emphasis in meat science, was put in charge of the new program at the processing facility.
When youre on a small scale you have to be able to do it all and do it all well, Chase Lockhart
said. You can slow down. With each and every one its not about speed.
The last five minutes of an animals life is one of the most crucial times in beef production, said
Temple Grandin, a professor of animal science at Colorado State University and consultant to the
livestock industry on animal behavior. Stress, she said, damages the meat quality.
When it comes to humane handling you can do a good job or a bad job, she said. The size of
the facility is irrelevant. It comes down to how well they manage it.
That means keeping cattle comfortable and relaxed in the new environment until their last
moments.
Processing itself is fairly straightforward. One at a time, the cattle are herded through a chute
to the inside of the building and the knocking box. They are rapidly stunned with a bolt gun Its
basically a rod with a gunpowder cartridge to render the animal brain dead. They are then
hanged by one foot, and a cut to the throat drains them of blood.
The head, hooves, skin and organs are removed from the carcass which is then cut into quarters.
A Wyoming state inspector inspects all the parts, and the process itself, on site.
It takes about an hour for an animal to be processed from start until its on the rail in quarters.
The carcasses then chill and hang for three weeks. If the Lockharts are breaking down the carcass to
ship to restaurants or Jackson Whole Grocer, the packaging takes an additional two to three hours.
Our butcher does everything, Lockhart said. From kill the animal to cut the steaks to package
it and do the deliveries.

long run its better for everyone bet-
ter for the planet, better for the cows.
The fields usually melt out by late
May, and Lockhart starts farming in
July. A network of ditches that carry
water from Flat Creek feed the hayfield.
The grass reaches about 3 feet before
haying season starts. Then its nonstop
cutting, curing, baling and stacking.
Each acre produces about 3 tons of hay.
Cowboys hate farming, he said.
Each cow eats about 3 percent of its
body weight a day, so about 30 pounds
for an 18-month-old animal. Cows
weigh about 900 pounds at 18 months.
Steers will reach 1,100 to 1,400 pounds
when they go to slaughter between 2
and 3 years old.

Lockhart never intended to become
an advocate for sustainability. He just
wanted to save the family ranch.
He studied finance at Montana
State University and figured he would
end up working at a hedge fund or be-
coming a financial advisor like his fa-
ther. By his last year of college he real-
ized that wasnt what he wanted to do,

Grass-fed and grain-fed: Whats the difference?
All cattle eat grass when theyre born. The term grass-fed beef refers to cattle that eat
grass their entire lives, as opposed to finishing on grain.
To qualify as grass-fed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture the animal must exclusively
consume grass and forage and have continuous access to pasture during the growing
season. Hay and other harvested forage are also allowed.
But is grass-fed beef really better for your health? Research from California State University
in Chico says it is, at least compared with grain-finished beef.
Red meat in general has gotten a bad rap in the age of fad diets and has been cut out of a
lot of diets to reduce cholesterol and fat.
The report, published in the 2010 Nutrition Journal, says red meat is nutrient dense and
regarded as an important source of essential amino acids, vitamins A, B6, B12, D, E and
minerals, including iron, zinc and selenium.
But a diet that consists of only grass can significantly alter the fatty acid composition and
improve the overall antioxidant content of beef.
Grass-fed beef is lower in overall fat, including unhealthy saturated fats and dietary
cholesterol. The beef is typically leaner than a grain-finished product.
It has higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and a higher ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 than
grain-finished beef, which is better for cardiovascular health. There are 37 to 65 milligrams
of omega-3s per serving. That is significantly better than corn-fed beef but meager compared
with wild Alaskan salmon, which contains about 1,000 milligrams, according to the USDA.
Grass-fed beef also has higher levels two to three times the amount in confined grain-
fed cattle of conjugated linoleic acid. Studies have shown that CLA can reduce carcinogens
and the onset of diabetes.
There are also higher levels of vitamins A and E, beta-carotene, as well as antioxidants
and minerals.
Grass-fed beef sometimes has a yellow coloring to its fatty areas. That may be off-putting
to some, but comes from carotenoids in lush green forages and is associated with a healthier
fatty acid profile and higher antioxidant content.

provided Chuck with ample opportuni-
ties to volunteer. Chuck was a member
of the Jackson Hole Rotary Club and
participated in many of their programs,
including years of organizing commu-
nity bell ringers for the Salvation Ar-
mys Red Kettle campaign and reading
to second graders in the Teton County
Schools.

He was an active member of St. Johns
Episcopal Church, where he sang in the
choir, was a member of the vestry and
coordinated the new organ dedication
among other activities. He was a found-
ing member of the St. Johns Hospital
lay chaplain program and dedicated
over two decades to comforting hospital
patients and their families.
Through these many activities and
organizations, Chuck met many won-
derful people and made many good
friends. Ultimately, however, his most
favorite activity was the time he spent
with his grandchildren, Esther and
Isaac, who also lived in the valley.
Chuck is survived by his wife, Jean;
his children, Anne Webber, of Ports-
mouth, New Hampshire, and Sarah
Webber, of Tucson, Arizona; Marta (Da-

There was no document to train him
in his new role; rather, former staff and
seasoned legislators guided him. He
told Speaker of the House Lee Keith a
manual of procedure needed to be writ-
ten, to which Lee replied, write one.
Herb started the House Employees
Procedure Manual, a much-used guide,
by querying members, staff, officials and
media on the rules laws and procedures.
With praise and use by both House and
Senate, the book grew through several
amended editions to become the Wyo-

Herb served as chief clerk for 32 years,
retiring in 1988.
Late in their lives, both Herbs moth-
er and his wifes mother came to live
with the couple in their home in south-

establish senior housing in Laramie. Af-
ter years of work, the nonprofit finished
the Regency Retirement Residence of

OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS
OFFICIAL SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD
OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, TETON COUNTY, WYOMING
The Teton County Board of Commissioners met in special ses-
sion on July 27, 2017 in the Commissioners Chambers located
at 200 S. Willow in Jackson. The meeting was called to order
at 9:00am.
Commission present: Mark Newcomb Chair, Greg Epstein,
and Smokey Rhea. Natalia Macker and Paul Vogelheim were
absent.
The Special meeting was called to consider the following:
1. Consideration of Acceptance of a Liquor License
Application
Sherry Daigle, County Clerk presented to the Board for con-
sideration the acceptance of a liquor license application that
was filed late, after the July 21, 2017 deadline had passed.
Keith Gingery, Deputy County Attorney saw a newspaper
article that ran in the Jackson Hole News and Guide on July
12, 2017 for the Panorama House regarding cocktails. Mr.
Gingery asked the County Clerk if a liquor license had been
issued to Snow King Mountain Resort. One had not been
issued. Ms. Daigle spoke with the Town of Jackson and they
indicated they had consulted with Ryan Stanley at Snow King
Mountain Resort. Mr. Gingery inquired with the Town on
how they operate since the Panorama House is in the County
jurisdiction and does the resort license cover sales on their
property even if its a separate jurisdiction. This question was
asked of the Wyoming Liquor Division who consulted with the
Attorney Generals Office, who advised the Wyoming Liquor
Division that the liquor statutes are permissive, which would
thereby allow one to serve or dispense in another jurisdiction
if its also within the resort liquor boundaries. Snow King pro-
ceeded with the assumption that they were in compliance with
the Wyoming Liquor Division. Mr. Gingery disagreed with
that opinion and met with the Wyoming Liquor Divisions rep-
resentative and called the Attorney Generals Office. After a
lengthy discussion, the Wyoming Liquor Division, the Attorney
Generals Office and Mr. Gingery all agreed that the resort
liquor license does not carry over to another law enforcement
jurisdiction, such as the County.
Ms. Daigle stated there is one available retail license and the
Board has opened the process to accept applications to issue
that license. It was advertised for three weeks in July and
the application deadline was last Friday, July 21, 2017. Mr.
Stanley from Snow King Mountain Resort tried to contact
the County Clerk on Friday, July 21, 2017, who was out of
the office on that day. Ms. Daigle received the message on
Monday but was unable to contact Mr. Stanley until Tuesday,
July 25, 2017 and instructed him to fill out the application
but advised that it would be up to the Board to accept a late
application.
Ryan Stanley from Snow King Mountain Resort spoke to the
Board about the timeline of the events. He said he originally
reached out to Sandy Birdyshaw at the Town of Jackson for
clarification on this issue. She had him contact the Wyoming
Liquor Division who in turn contacted the Attorney Generals
Office. He was told they were good to go in terms of opening
the restaurant. Renovations to the facility were done. They
continued to work with the Town as the process of opening
went along. Mr. Stanley received an email notice on Thursday
and reached out to the County Clerk and Deputy County
Attorney. He spoke with Mr. Gingery on Friday and then
immediately called Ms. Daigle and left a message. Mr. Stanley
stated for many years in the past food and alcohol have been
served at the top of the mountain. He also clarified that Snow
King Mountain Resort holds a resort liquor license in the
Town of Jackson.
There was no public comment.
Sherry Daigle, County Clerk, informed the Board that even if
this application is accepted, it is only allowing this applicant
to be one of the applicants considered for issuance of the avail-
able retail license to be considered by the Board on August 15,
2017.
Greg Epstein moved to approve acceptance of a liquor license
application from Snow King Mountain Resort, seconded by
Smokey Rhea. The motion passed unanimously with a vote of
3-0.

Bill Resor from Sewell Partners LLC presented to the Board
a proposal for the County to ultimately takeover land (Parcels
23 and 24) down Fall Creek Road. This action would be taken
under the broader guidelines of the Snake River Corridor
Management/Ownership Transfer Plan completed in 2008.
Mr. Resor gave a history of the property: 4.9 acres that is cur-
rently owned by Sewell Partners and leased to Teton County,
14.8 acres owned by Sewell Partners, and three parcels 23A
18 acres and 13.3 acres and parcel 23B - 11.4 acres owned by
BLM. The exchange would take place through a one-off piece
of legislation. This would have Congress tell the BLM to give
the parcels to Teton County as if it were the Public Purposes
and Recreation Act however there should be no reverter so
they can trade. They would also give sand and gravel rights.
Discussion between the Board and Mr. Resor included levee
maintenance costs, ownership of islands in river and impact
of transfer on ownership, transfer through legislative action,
temporary park, other land owners with BLM parcels, pro-
posed MOU.
This item will be heard as an action item at the August 15,
2017 regular meeting. There will be a workshop on August 7,
2017 for staff to present. The objective of the workshop will
be discussed and discussion should include issue with mainte-
nance burdens with additional levees.

effective as of the date approved by the Board of County
Commissioners below in compliance with the Wyoming

1. Authority:
Pursuant to Wyo. Stat. 19-14-101, the Board of County
Commissioners of Teton County, Wyoming, (hereinafter
Board of County Commissioners) are responsible for the
costs of burial or cremation of indigent veterans who have
not been dishonorably discharged, and who served on behalf
of the United States during any conflict or war. The County
Commissioners are also responsible, pursuant to Wyo. Stat.
18-3-504(c), for burial or cremation of other indigent persons
who were not receiving certain public benefits. Pursuant to
Wyo. Stat. 42-2-103(c) the State of Wyoming Department
of Family Services is responsible for burial or cremation of
those indigent persons receiving aid under POWER (Person
Opportunities With Employment Responsibilities) program,
SSI (Supplemental Security Income) or Medicaid. Pursuant to
Wyo. Stat. 7-4-104(a)(i)(K), a case involving an unanticipated
death where the identity of the victim is unknown or the body
is unclaimed, is a coroners case, and under Wyo. Stat. 7-4-
207(a), when the coroner investigates the death of a person
whose body is not claimed by a friend or relative within five
(5) days of the date of discovery and whose death does not
require further investigation, he shall cause the body to be
decently buried. The expense of the burial shall be paid from
any property found with the body. If no property is found, the
expense of the burial shall be paid by the county in which the
investigation occurs.
2. Initial Determination of Eligibility:
The family or friends, as claimant for the deceased, or the
funeral home as their representative, shall be responsible for
discovering whether the decedent was indigent at the time
of death, or a recipient of the public benefits named above.
Failure to diligently pursue information regarding indigency
will result in refusal of payment by the County.
3. Veterans:
A. Any veteran who was not dishonorably discharged
and who served during a war or conflict (as defined in Title
38, United States Code, section 101) on behalf of the United
States, and who dies leaving insufficient funds to defray the
necessary funeral expenses, is eligible for preparation of the
body and transmittal to and interment in the Oregon Trail
State Veterans Cemetery in Evansville, Natrona County,
Wyoming at 89 Cemetery Road, Evansville, WY 82636 or other

B. The amount expended for preparation of the body shall
not exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500). The
amount expended for the transportation of the body shall not
exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00)

for the deceased, or funeral home as their representative, shall
assemble and provide a complete record of all the facts relat-
ing to any veteran of the armed forces of the United States
who is buried or cremated as per this policy, and shall submit
the record to the County Coroner, who shall keep a complete
record of all such facts. The County Coroner on behalf of the
County Commission, will be responsible for verifying the vet-
eran status by established procedure.
D. If a veteran was also in receipt of the public benefits
named in paragraph 1 above at the time of death, the County
shall assume responsibility for costs for interment in the
Veterans Cemetery.
4. Non-Veteran Indigents:
A. After the responsible party named in Section 2 above
determines that a decedent was not receiving POWER assis-
tance, SSI income, or Medicaid under the Wyoming Public
Assistance and Social Services Act at the time of death, and
that the decedent was without sufficient means in his own
estate or other resources to provide burial or cremation,
arrangements may be made for burial or cremation at the
Countys expense.
B. The total cost to the County of such burial or cremation
shall not exceed two thousand five hundred dollars and no
cents ($2,500.00).
C. If the body is claimed by a friend, relative, or other
person, and the decedent is not determined indigent, that
person shall be responsible for burial or cremation at the rates
charged by the funeral home in non-indigent cases.
D. If no property is found with the body, and no other
estate or resources as listed on the application exist against
which the responsible party or funeral home may make a
claim, the responsible party or funeral home may then file an
application for payment by the County, by submitting an item-
ized invoice or accounting and a sworn affidavit stating that
diligent inquiry was made regarding potential property, assets,
or funding.
E. If the Board of County Commissioners finds that no
other means of payment are available, they may authorize
payment to the funeral home, not to exceed two thousand five
hundred dollars and no cents ($2,500). Any available funding
resources as listed on the application will be deducted from
the payment amount, and the funeral home may seek reim-
bursement in that amount from the estate.
F. Teton County is not responsible for interment or costs
thereof, for non-veterans at any location outside Teton County.
5. Non-veteran Unclaimed:
If no one claims a body, or if the body remains unidentified,
the expense of burial or cremation shall be paid from any
property found with the body, as per Wyo. Stat. 7-4-207(a),
and by the County in which the jurisdiction of the death
occurs. The manner of disposition of the body and any itiner-
ant funeral services are at the discretion of the Teton County
Coroner, and may not be dictated by friends, family, or other
interested persons, absent payment therefor.
6. Non-veteran Recipients of Certain Public Benefits:

tance, SSI income, or Medicaid under the Wyoming Public
Assistance and Social Services Act at the time of death, the

for payment for burial or cremation, as per Wyo. Stat. 42-2-

ing all burial or cremation fees, and any transportation fee
paid for a decedent who was a veteran under Section 3 above,

Three key issues were identified and addressed:
1. What is the timing of vacating the Walton Quarry site and
constructing the proposed site?
2. What are the applicable setbacks for the proposed use?
3. Is the proposed use allowed in the Public/Semi-Public zon-
ing district?

ment that is very specific for this site, associated cost to move
stockpile from the current Walton Quarry site, is the Walton
Quarry a better place not a long-time solution, extension of
timeline from 1 year to 5 years to continue working with adja-
cent landowner, and any findings related to environmental
protection site specific.
Public comment was given by Stefan Fodor on behalf of 4W,
LLC regarding limiting SUP to only allow stockpiling, to con-
sider setbacks, consider postponing this item due to delays,
rule changes to site specific, no annual review, the BLM right
of way agreement, fencing, and planting and vegetate berm.

the values are equal. If the values are unequal, either party
may equalize the values by making cash payment, not to

tion that there would be no net loss of Federal acres to either

imately 35 acres of Wild and Scenic River congressionally-
designated land to Federal lands.

under the public land laws and mineral laws for a period not
to exceed 5 years from the date of notation in the public land

PROPOSED DISCHARGE OF DREDGED OR FILL
MATERIAL TO DITCH CREEK
The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality
(WDEQ) has received a request from the National Park
Service for State certification of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) Nationwide Permit #27, for discharge of dredged
or fill material to Ditch Creek within Grand Teton National
Park. The purpose of this project is to restore fish passage in
the mainstem Ditch Creek. All waters within Grand Teton
Public Notices
National Park are designated Class 1 waters where point
source discharges are prohibited except for storm water and
construction related discharges. This certification will require
meeting the provisions in Chapter 1, Section 7(b) of the
WDEQ Water Quality Rules and Regulations, which allows
these discharges under certain circumstances. Proposed
activities include removing approximately 600 cubic yards
(CY) of aggraded alluvium from approximately 550-feet of
plugged Ditch Creek channel. These activities would effective-
ly reactivate more than 23 miles of Ditch Creek that had been
previously inaccessible to fish for nearly 60 years. Additionally,
reactivation of the channel would increase the overall length
of Ditch Creek by 200 feet.
Requests for information about the proposed water quality
certification should be directed to Eric Hargett by email (eric.
hargett@wyo.gov) or phone (307-777-6701). Comments must
be addressed to Eric Hargett, Wyoming DEQ/WQD, 200 W.
17th Street 4TH floor, Cheyenne, WY, 82002, and be post-
marked on or before 5:00 p.m. on September 5, 2017 to be con-
sidered. Phone or email comments will not be accepted.

or five days we had no electron-
ics: no computers, smartphones
or stereos. No one wore a watch.
We lived on sun time, rising when it
warmed us and going to bed around
dark. We ate when we were hungry,
hit the river when we were ready, and
floated downstream letting the current
carry us at its own pace.
Then we hit the takeout. My hus-

bombarded by the news about unrest in

Swimmers face 2nd 4A campaign
Lady Broncs are up for
the challenge as the
smallest team in 4A.
By Tristan Wagner
Coming off a five-year win streak in
3A, every swimmer on the Jackson Hole
High School Swim and Dive team was
used to winning.
But following their 4A debut last
year, in which they placed sixth at state,
the Lady Broncs knew they had to step
up their game if they were going to com-
pete in their new division.
Last year was an eye-opening expe-
rience, said head coach Jim Jenkins.
Its one thing to see 4A on paper. Its
another to see it in person.
When the Lady Broncs arrived at last
years 4A state championship in Gil-

lette they were immediately impressed
by the caliber of their new competition.
The top 3A time in the 200-meter free-
style wouldnt have broken the top 12 in
4A.
We received a huge reality check,
Jenkins said.
In losing standout seniors Rylan
Tepe and Hannah Clancy, Jackson lost
substantial firepower in the offseason.

year, which makes it tough to compete
at the same level, Jenkins said.
Still, this years squad is nothing to
scoff at. Rising senior Maddy Jenkins
competed in four events at last years
state meet and was one of two swim-
mers to make a finals heat with her
sixth-place finish in the 100 breast-
stroke.
Joining Jenkins as a point-scoring se-
nior is Tori Wolf. After just one year on
the dive team, Wolf earned sixth place
overall in Gillette.
Rising junior Andrea Zarate scored
points for the Lady Broncs in relay
races last year and will return strong,
Jenkins said.
In addition to their speed in the wa-
ter, this years seniors will play an im-
portant role in guiding the Lady Broncs
toward what has always been their
strength: unity.
The overall and historic strength of
the program is that we make an individ-

The 2017-18 season carries addition-
al significance for Jenkins. Between his

school coach, he has worked with the

senior-class swimmers since they were
just 12 years old. Among those swim-
mers is his own daughter.
Its bittersweet, he said. Theyre
an amazing group of leaders and young
women.
In advance of the coming season,
Jenkins said equaling last years results
is possible, but it will be a greater chal-
lenge than before.
The Lady Broncs were beat in the 4A
West conference last year by a Green
River squad that didnt graduate many
key swimmers. Gillette, the 4A dynasty
that has taken the state title 11 of the
past 12 years, split into two high schools
this year. But either team could easily
take the state title, Jenkins said.
Armed with their new knowledge of
the 4A landscape, Jackson swimmers
will return to 4A as the smallest team
in their division. Although their sights
are set on a sixth-place finish, anything
could happen once the season begins.
There are no guarantees, Jenkins
said, except that were going to have to
work hard.

Carruth adds an ice rink
The Teton Valley Foundation has hired Bob
Howie Carruth as the Kotler Ice Arena

his time between the two rinks, creating
synergy on both sides of the pass and an
opportunity to grow winter recreation and
the associated economic benefits for Teton
Valley residents. It was time to elevate
rink operations to the next level of profes-
sionalism, Teton Valley Foundation Execu-
tive Director Erica Linnell said in a press
release. As such, it was clear that TVF
needed someone with specialized knowl-
edge to help us achieve that goal. Howies
expertise is unparalleled, and we keep

Youth hockey player accepts Colorado contract

Kole Morris will play
for elite team for six months.
By Tristan Wagner
Jackson Hole Youth Hockey player Kole Morris
is leaving the valley to pursue his hockey career at
an elite level.
This year he accepted a six-month contract to
play with the Colorado Springs Tigers 15U team in
Colorado Springs, Colorado.
In recent years Kole has played on Team Wyo-
ming, an all-star AA team that draws from the best
hockey players in the state. The Colorado Springs
Tigers are a AAA team, meaning the competition
will be even tougher.
Its a much faster pace, and the level is so much
higher, Morris said of his new team. Its also so
much fun.
Morris was recruited while competing in Minne-
sota with Team Northwest, a AAA summer team he
has played with for the past four seasons.
After the coach of the Tigers saw Morris play, the
team offered him a spot for one season. He will stay
with a host family in Colorado Springs and attend
school there, fitting his academics around a rigor-
ous training schedule through a combination of
regular high school and online classes.
David Ellingson, executive director of Jackson
Hole Youth Hockey, used to coach Morris. He said
the 15-year-old will be able to handle the workload.
Kole has always been dedicated, Ellingson
said. He was always the first one on the ice and
the last one off. He would skate whenever he got
the chance.
Ellingson said Morris achievement is magni-
fied when considering who hes up against: athletes
from hockey academies that have more resources
and ice time at their disposal.
Its not an easy thing to do what Kole has, com-
ing out of a little team like Jackson Hole Youth
Hockey, Ellingson said. Hes sacrificed a lot.
Playing for his new team in Colorado will force
Morris to sacrifice even more. Aside from holidays,
he wont see his friends or family for the next half
year.
Ill miss them a ton, Morris said. But I have to
keep pushing myself and improving.
After he graduates, Morris hopes to earn a hock-
ey scholarship and play at an NCAA Division One
college.
We all wish the best for Kole, Ellingson said.
Its really cool to see him going for his dream.

Broncs golfer Estes notches another top-10 result

By Clark Forster
One week after a third-place finish
in the season-opening tournament,
Jackson Hole High School golfer An-
nie Estes placed seventh out of 33 at
Thursday and Fridays Riverton In-
vitational.
Estess two-day score of 191 helped
lead the Lady Broncs to fifth place
among the nine teams competing. On
the boys side Jackson placed eighth
out of 11 teams and was led by Alex
Coosaias two-day score of 176. Coo-
saia placed 16th out of 72 golfers.
Following Estes for the Lady
Broncs was Carli Knight in 17th
place, Sarah Gregg in 23rd and Sarah
White in 28th. Jackson finished with
a two-day score of 650. Evanston won
the tournament with a score of 569.
Jacksons Adam Kruger placed
22nd in the boys field. Kruger was fol-
lowed by teammates Trevor Rizzotti
(37th), Zander Ponce (47th), Jasper
Welch (49th), Jake Kravetsky (51st),
Evan Brunner (52nd) and Colter
Sanders (59th).
Jackson coach Mike Witz said he
wished the boys team had fared bet-
ter, but he has hopes the team will
start to gel as the season progresses.
The boys were inconsistent but
showed potential, Witz said. We are
entering the middle of the season,
where focus and stamina play a big
part. Targeting their practices and fo-
cusing on specific skills needed for each
course will be as important as learning
to maintain their mental focus over
a two-day event. The team is looking
for five players who can put two good
rounds together week after week.
Jackson gets to stay close to home
this week as the Broncs travel to Af-
ton for the Star Valley Invitational.
The two-day tournament begins
Thursday.

New business
reimagines Native

By Jennifer Dorsey
Linda Perlman is putting a con-
temporary spin on Native American
designs in her new custom rug busi-

Designing by hand with colored
pencils and inspired by Native Ameri-
can pieces collected by her and her
husband, businessman Larry Perl-
man, her rugs reimagine traditional
tapestries and create limited-edition
coverings.
Its my interpretation of the old
designs, Perlman said. Its art on in Linda Perlmans custom rug

An interior designer for 30-some
years, Perlman was looking to do

Her studio and small showroom

The company is celebrating its
40th anniversary this summer and is
as busy as ever. Mad River, which also
offers scenic floats, has more rafting
permits than any other company in
the valley.
A 40-year tenure of successful oper-
ations requires consistency. And when
Mad Rivers many customers revisit
Jackson, they often come back to the
guide service that gave them their
thrills the first time. What they often
find is that the people who helped the
company reach four decades of suc-

Silicon Couloir, MIT offer mentor program

Combination focuses

By John Spina
Since 2012 Silicon Couloir has pro-
vided valuable support for burgeoning
entrepreneurs in Teton County looking
to expand their business. This year, in
conjunction with the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, it will offer an
expanded mentorship program focused
on businesses rather than individuals.
This program is going to be a game

preneurs, said Bill Watkins, a mentor

ing several mentorship programs after
successfully getting his own business
ventures off the ground. This particu-
lar mentorship program is right at the
leading edge of assisting people to take
their dream and create a reality such
that they could pay themselves a sala-
ry, serve customers and, hopefully, hire
some employees.
MIT began the Venture Mentor Pro-
gram 16 years ago looking for new, more
effective ways of mentoring. After four
years of research it began to share its
findings and subsequent mentorship
model with communities around the
Scott Fitzgerald, director of Silicon Couloir, worked to start the new program.
country. What sets it apart is the idea
of mentoring a business instead of an
individual.
This is a venture-mentor program,
so well take a businesses and a team
associated with that business, which
could be the original founders, a lead-
ership team or an executive team, and
RYAN DORGAN / NEWS&GUIDE FILE
then we pair them with a team of two
to three mentors who have specific ex-
perience in that field or industry, said
Silicon Couloir Executive Director Scott
Fitzgerald, who worked closely with Na-
than Adams, Liza Millet and Rebecca
Reimers to get a Venture program in
Jackson Hole. While of course there
will be elements of personal mentor-
ship, the real focus of the program is to
help a business develop over time.
The key, several Silicon Couloir mem-
bers including Watkins and Fitzgerald
said, is having a group of people to dis-
cuss issues, bounce ideas off and share
opinions with.
The beauty of this program is the
power of the group, Watkins said. Its
a very lonely place out there as an en-
trepreneur. With a group of six or so
this program is intimate enough that
you get individual value through the
instruction, but its also close enough
that you can hang out with and gain
horsepower from your fellow mentees.
Its very encouraging and supporting
to have people who are on the journey
with you.
The team from Silicon Couloir will
travel to Boston for a training session in
late September and plans to launch the
program by November.
Though Fitzgerald hopes to grow the
program to 20 businesses, in its first
year only six will be selected. To sign up
interested parties can email Fitzgerald
at scott@siliconcouloir.com. For those
selected, mentorship is free.

Other mentor programs that are being offered by Silicon Couloir

Silicon Couloir offers several other mentorship programs.
Chance Meetings
An informative yet casual networking event, a Chance Meeting
takes place the first Monday of every month from 5 to 7 p.m. at
Haydens Post. It provides an opportunity for local entrepreneurs to
connect with each other, discuss ideas and build relationships.
Business Micro-Intensive
Silicon Couloir created the Business Micro-Intensive program
in conjunction with Spark JH. It covers big issues and topics
regularly faced by business owners and divides them into sessions
that give participants hands-on training with steps to be taken in
their own businesses.
Pitch Day
Pitch Day is annual event at the Center for the Arts that features
entrepreneurs presenting business ideas to a panel of experienced
investors and a general audience of over 200 people. The winners
are awarded seed money and mentorship opportunities.
Angel Mentorship Program
The Angel Mentorship program is a group of accredited local
investors that meets roughly once a month to hear investment
pitches from entrepreneurs invited by Silicon Couloir. From seed
stage to later stage, presenting companies are selected to pitch
for investment and mentorship.
Leadership Intensive
The leadership intensive program offers interested and
selected participants the opportunity to study specific concepts of
leadership to enhance both their present positions and offer new
perspectives toward development in their personal lives.
Start Up Intensive
The Start Up Intensive is offered with Central Wyoming College.
This 10-week business boot camp, taught by a former assistant
dean of the Harvard Kennedy School, is designed to provide skills
that companies use to launch successful business ideas.
Leadercast
Leadercast is an annual seminar. During the full-day event
speeches from some of the worlds foremost businesspeople
are simulcast live from Atlanta, with leadership experts leading
attendees through post-speech discussions in person.

Dana Wachs performs in Rural Violence III last summer in Wilson. The three art curators who helped make Rural Violence happen have formed a new art collective.
Longtime art collaborators

Curators aim
to bring art and
artists to valley.
By Isa Jones
T
hree of Jacksons art curators
have decided to officially
join forces by starting their
own art collective.
Camille Obering, Matthew
Day Jackson and Andy Kin-
caid, who for the past year have
worked together as the Center
for the Arts 2017 Creatives in
Residence, call their collective
Peradam Capital.
Obering runs Camille Ober-
ing Fine Art, a curatorial, deal-
ership and art advisory firm. She
is a longtime resident of the val-
ley and has worked on projects
both locally and nationally.
Jackson is a previously New
York City-based artist who
shows all over the world. His
mixed-media works tend to
combine beauty and horror.
Kincaid runs the Holiday
Forever Gallery and is also an
artist.
Now, the three are one as Per-
adam Capital. The name, which
sounds like a Wall Street hedge
fund, is a joke on the idea of
value.
We chose that name almost
like an investment company,
Jackson said, that its a play on
the word.
Its the idea of value in art
and the thing thats valuable is
Matthew Day Jackson, Camille Obering and Andy Kincaid have joined forces to form Peradam
Capital, a collective focused on bringing art and artists to Jackson.
really the thing thats invisible
oftentimes, he said.
The word peradam also fits
into that. It comes from the
French novel Mount Ana-
logue, by Rene Daumal.
The novel is part mountain
climbing adventure, part deep
philosophy. Peradam is a stone
that exists on the novels titular
mountain but is often invisible
to the naked eye.
The idea is its a mythi-
cal stone invisible to most who
seek it, and makes itself visible
not only to those who seek it but
those who are actually capable of
understanding its value, Jack-
son said.
For the trio, value comes
from art, not from the monetary
worth of the valley.
Theres this idea of value in
relationship to the place, which
for a lot of people in real estate
or investment property is that,
Jackson said. But really the They have worked together be-
value of this place transcends
TODDBPHOTOGRAPHY / COURTESY PHOTO
those rudimentary basic notions
of value.
The motto for the group is ex
nihilo aliquid or from nothing,
something.
It sounds like great invest-
ment language, Kincaid said.
We have no space, we have
no anything, Jackson half-
joked.
But the three will create here,
as they have done in the past.

fore on the project Rural Vio-

lence III, which they helped cu-
rate with Brandon Stosuy. They
have spent the past year working
with the Center for the Arts on
Observatories, a massive ex-
hibit on the Center lawn. That
yearlong project included a win-
ter edition, An Evening of Ski
and Art Films.
I think when it comes to
making art from the dark re-
cesses of our imagination where
images and form begin to take
shape, its that self-generated
light that illuminates darkness,
Jackson said then about the
event, which, like the summer
exhibit, dealt with the eclipse.
When doing Observatories,
Obering noticed how few op-
tions there are to exhibit new,
experimental art. With one of
the pieces, the group brought in
a mini-gallery to showcase sev-
eral pieces by the same artist as
part of the larger exhibit.
How do we resolve that is-
sue? Obering said, noting the
group had to literally bring in a
gallery to be able to show art at
the Center for the Arts.
Right now, the group has
nothing planned, but Jackson
said to expect more art like what
was shown at Observatories.
We just decided wed be-
come Peradam Capital, and
the thing were dedicated to is
bringing artists and art to Jack-
son Hole.

OUTDOORS: EXCURSION

For the nature adverse, an easy hike

Taggart Lake-Bradley Lake Loop
5.5 miles
2-3 hours
Very convenient

I
dont love hiking.
I know, I know. I live in Jackson Hole, where the adventure
is rad, the stoke is high and its not a weekend unless you hit
a certain number of vertical feet. But thats just not me. I like
nature, from a distance, and while theres a bliss to a long walk in
the woods, the idea of straining my muscles to climb rock and
dirt to end up hungry and thirsty
and tired has never been the ideal
weekend activity for me.
But a childhood friend came in
town this weekend, and you cant let
a guest come and go without head-
ing into Grand Teton National
Park. Because it was the Saturday
before the eclipse, I had a feeling
the park would be crowded, and
had already talked my friend out of
a day trip to Yellowstone to avoid Excursion
crowds and traffic. So we settled on Isa Jones
a short hike to Taggart Lake and
then over to Bradley Lake.
The trails website on my phone lists the two trails as most
popular in the park, but I figured nothing would be as popular
as Jenny Lake or String Lake, so we headed out to see some
nature and experience a proper national park hike.
My friend also doesnt like hiking. She joked that if its not

Randy Newman: politics, Putin, darkness

An Evening with Randy Newman
8 p.m. Thursday
Center Theater, Center for the Arts, 265 S. Cache
$95-$125
JHCenterForTheArts.org

By Isa Jones

L
egendary songwriter Randy Newman will bring his
songs and piano skills to the Center Theater on
Thursday. Tickets are still available and cost $95 to
$125.
Before his performance, Newman spoke to the
News&Guide about his songwriting process, his take on
politics and more.

Q: When you sit down at a piano to write, what is the

difference between writing for a film and for an original
album? They seem like two very different Randy New-
mans.
A: They are. Its a different part of the brain, too; its very
different. With a movie you have got the parameters:
You know how long its going to be, you know what the
tempo is going to be, based on what scene it is. But with
a song I basically have nothing in my head to start with.
The movie stuff is written down, I write it. Songs I just
play them, basically. Something will kick off the thing
Im doing and thats how they start.

Q: You havent spoken highly of Hollywood in the past.

Why do you keep doing movie work?
A: The orchestra. I love working with an orchestra, I love
the sound of an orchestra, I like the musicians. Its a real
privilege to work with musicians like that. Its not power
or anything. Its collaborating with people who are tre-
mendously good at what they do.

Q: Does that make it harder than when you sit down

to write original music and you cant collaborate with
others?
A: Yeah, in a way it does. It makes it harder to do it. My
work ethic has never been too good. Thats why its taken
so long in between records. But with a movie you have to
work when youre awake.
Q: This new album has songs both about Putin and the
Kennedys. Why choose that subject matter?
A: I dont know. With Putin, yeah, I know. I set out to
write something because I thought it was so odd, that
shirtless stuff he did like he wanted to be a movie star.
Newmans new album, Dark Matter is the artists 11th.
It came out earlier this year.
Randy Newman, beloved and famous songwriter, will play Thursday evening at the Center for the Arts.
Hes the richest man in the world, hes the most powerful
man in the world, and the other part of that is hard to
understand.
Q: Yeah, its like he also wants to be admired by his peo-
ple, even though they fear him as a dictator.
A: True. You know, thats right. He wants to be loved
also, at least by his own people.
Q: Your songs can be pretty dark, and this album has a
lot of bite to it. Are you an optimist or a pessimist about
society?
A: Im an optimist about people. The odds are when you
sit next to someone on a plane or a random situation
its going to go pretty good. Not even pretty good, re-
ally good. With groups Im less sure. But basically Im an
optimist about peoples behavior.
Q: Since this album delves into politics, what do you
think about the current political climate of the country?
A: Its never been divided like this; its not even close.
People will say, I couldnt have a Trump supporter as a
friend, and vice versa, which is not the way its supposed
to be. Politics is supposed to bring people together, but
people are taking positions that are so far apart that it
becomes difficult.
Q: Does this kind of situation inspire you to write, or do
you just feel emotionally exhausted by it?
A: Neither. I mean, its sort of inspiring, but I dont like
to write about things thatll just go away. Or write about Contact Isa Jones at 732-7062, entertainment@
something that is absolutely current because things
COURTESY PHOTO
change so much. Ive done it, but I dont like it. And at a
time like this that is so violently oppositional its a little
harder for satire or irony, because theres always some-
thing new and ridiculous. Like, you dont expect to see
neo-Nazis in 2017.
Q: Critics have described Dark Matter as ambitious.
How would you describe it?
A: Yeah, it is ambitious. Ive written in character a lot, in
a different narrative voice than my own. But this album
has two people sometimes talking, or more. It was hard
to do. I dont know that Id do it again. But I think it
worked. It was difficult.
Q: What made you want to do it that way?
A: I wanted to do something different. It is really impor-
tant to me to be doing good work at this advanced age.
Most people in rock n roll, you can make a pretty good
case that people do their best work before theyre 30. But
thats not true in my case, partly because of the movies,
which keeps you in shape at least.
Q: Anything you want people to know before they come
see you perform?
A: No, but I am excited to go to Jackson Hole. Ive want-
ed to go there all my life. I saw a National Geographic
article about Jackson Hole when I was a kid, I mustve
been about 11, and I always wanted to go there. I kept
that for a long time. Im looking forward to going, very
much so.

Norton branches out in Legacy show

Opening reception for Jim Norton
The Legacy Gallery; 75 N. Cache
5-7 p.m. Thursday

W
alking into The Legacy Gallery
the first thing one notices are the
large oil paintings that face the
double doors leading into the airy Cache
Street gallery.
They are the work of Jim Norton, a re-
nowned Western oil-on-canvas painter
whose decades in fine art have only im-
proved his offerings.
Nortons depictions of cowboys, Native
Americans and other figures from Western
life and history are famous across the re-
gion. For someone whose work is so well
known and fetches large sums at auction it
could be easy to develop tunnel vision, to
work alone and focus solely on his own art.
But Norton pays his talent forward.
What I think is special about Jim
is that he gives back to younger artists,
said Jinger Richardson, owner of Legacy.
Some famous artists will lead a workshop
once or twice a year, but Jim invites them
down to his home in Utah for weekends
spent painting and being outside.
Richardson and her husband, Brad,
with whom she owns the gallery, were fans
of Nortons work before they began repre-
senting him. Brad Richardson said he liked
Nortons style and his blend of detail and
impressionism.

favorite color in many of her works.
Despite a love of all things
pink, Speer rarely uses the color
in her paintings and multimedia
works.
Instead its blues and golds
she finds herself inspired by.
I have an utter fascination
with gold, Speer said. Its really
hard to leave a painting alone
without putting some sort of
gold in it. I love the sheen, and it
makes the colors around it look
more intense.
I also love blues, she said.
Almost all of my paintings have
blues in them.
Speer will be showing off
those blues and golds Friday
night at the opening of her first-
ever exhibition, Subtle Sonder,
in the lobby of The Rose.
Sonder is a slang term for the
realization that people have a life
outside yours and have their own
emotions, feelings and thoughts.
Payton Speer is inspired by blues and golds. Her first exhibit, Subtle

Her work is mostly abstract
and focuses on color and form
more than specific subject matter.
Speer will also show some ex-
perimental pieces that use shat-
tered glass.
One day I was like, What
if I shattered these glasses Im

While Speer has been here
only a year, shes already found
the local art scene to be welcom-
ing and fostering.
I love that its a close-knit
scene, she said. I think working
at the Center has really helped
inspire me. Ive seen artists con-
stantly in and out of showings
and I am super inspired by it.
I met [local artist] Nicole
Gaitan early on, and shes been

Meditations on Nature
Trevor Amerys Capsize (downside-up) was inspired by an incident in which Amery capsized in his homemade kayak in the ocean and almost drowned.
Artist Talk with Trevor Amery
5 p.m. Thursday
Teton Artlab, 130 S. Jackson St.
Free
Trevor-Amery.com; TetonArtlab.com
By Isa Jones
T
revor Amery realized his vision as an
artist while floating in the middle of a
lake in rural Finland.
He was in the process of rowing out logs
to a floating dock where he was building a
sculpture.
I stopped in the middle of the lake and
was like, Holy hell, this could be my work,
Amery said. I dont have to be sitting in the
studio alone doing something. I can be out
in the world doing something. That really
transformed my practice, and since then its
just been different strategies for doing that.
Amery is now employing that philoso-
phy during a Teton Artlab residency, where
hes working with log sculptures, sleeping
bag sculptures and a photograph series that
involves using his handmade kayak. There
will be a free artist talk 5 p.m. Thursday at
the Artlab, when Amery will show what hes
been working on and talk about his work.
Amery, from San Diego by way of resi-
dencies and work all over including
Michigan, Finland, Turkey, Baltimore and
Alaska started his artistic career as an
undergrad studying painting. It was only
after the Transportation Security Adminis-
tration confiscated his oil paints en route to
Finland in 2011 that he decided to experi-
ment with found materials. At first it was
logs and firewood piles.
I saw the [woodpiles]. I was blown away
by the scale of them, Amery said. I had
never seen anything like that, and when I
did more research I learned it was this kind
of machismo thing that farmers in rural
Finland would make ornate woodpiles to
one-up their neighbor, but no one could re-
ally see it but their neighbor, and I found
that funny.
Amery became obsessed with the wood-
piles and the symbolism of wood in Finland,
something that is necessary for survival and
also has a social function, whether sending a
message to your neighbors or using them to
heat the communal saunas.
Why firewood keeps reappearing in my
work is its this symbol of communality,
Amery said. Whether youre sitting around
A piece from Trevor Amerys Slowing Down Heights exhibit, featuring found cypress
and stones from Oaxaca, Mexico, and brass.
a campfire or that simple basic need of heat
and survival, the recontextualization of that
was pointing at that.
But firewood isnt the only outdoors ma-
terial Amery works with. Theres also the
kayak that he built by hand over a few years,
which he drove up to Homer, Alaska, to see
if it would float.
It did, and hes since taken the kayak to
various waterways including some areas
of Jackson to do a photo series exploring
water landscapes.
I really like that dissolving of high art
and just life experience, Amery said of
the series.
His plan is to eventually have photos of
many landscapes, all shot with the bow of
the kayak at the bottom of the frame. He
said its interesting to capture places that
will eventually be underwater someday.
The kayak experiment has inspired an-
other part of his art, just like floating in
the lake in Finland did all those years ago.
When he was with the kayak in Miami he
capsized in the ocean. If not for a passing
personal watercraft user, he wouldve died.
I was being foolhardy and was out in
the ocean and capsized and couldve drifted
away and never be heard from again, he
said. That spurred this whole other body of
work that was inspired by that whole expe-
rience wood carvings that are different
sizes that look like windswept waves. Its a
project thatll keep growing.
Then there are the sleeping bags. Scat-
tered throughout his small space in Teton
Artlab are various sleeping bags, some
rolled up, yet to be used, and others formed
to look like someone, or something, is in-
side them, making odd and slightly un-
nerving shapes. Its a series called Failed
Bodies.
Its playing with this dark humor. It
came out of the capsizing experience and
thinking of bodies and the limitations of
the body in nature and what is failure and
presence and navigating that, Amery said.
Its a body but its not gendered. You cant
discern who it is and what it is. Its a little
funny at first, as an entry point, but then you
realize its kind of dark.
The final vision is to fill a gallery space
with the sculptures, so the viewer is just an-
other body among these bodies.
It all comes back to nature, to that mo-
ment in Finland when Amery realized art
could blur the lines between studio space
and the outside world.
Its the process of using my art as a way
to engage with nature and be outside, he
said. It allows me to be in the world. My
art and my interest in hiking and being
outside can intersect. Its not like I close
the door in the studio and its art time, and
I go out into nature and its nature time.
Its How can I cultivate a self-awareness
in both spaces?

Join former park ranger Doug Leen as he tells his story of

discovering the Grand Teton poster almost 50 years ago. The
Grand Teton poster, the first in a series of only 14 serigraphs
printed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA)
between 1938-41, led Ranger Doug on a 40-year search for
other park originals now totalling only 42 surviving prints
(of approximately 1400). Five of the original posters (all three
known Grand Teton prints, the only survivor of Yellowstone
Falls, and one of only two Glacier National Park prints) will
be on display August 25. Through Ranger Doug's generous
donation, the original poster will return to Grand Teton
National Park at the conclusion of the program. Hear this
unique history and learn from the "Ranger of the Lost Art."
where these last 42 surviving prints are today. Signed
reproductions available after the presentation.

FOOD: COMMON CHEF
Homemade gnocchi with grilled vegetables and Sweet Cheeks Meats sausage makes a fine meal for a dinner party.
Make gnocchi for your dinner party
I
ve always loved throwing dinner parties.
While tailgating and potlucks are also
among my favorite events that involve food
and people, dinner parties are different. Theres
something about getting a bunch of friends
together to share a meal, drink some wine and
have great conver-
sation.

dream of what my
mid-20s should

And, more impor-

it as an excuse to
try something new.
My boyfriend, Zach, has been trying for
months to teach me how to make gnocchi. But
with a busy summer and an energetic puppy,
finding time to cook it never worked out
until Friday.
(I learned that it is actually not that hard to
make and doesnt take that much time, so no
more excuses.)
Instead of making traditional gnocchi,
which uses potatoes, we opted for a ricotta
version, which technically is called gnudi, but
for the layman, aka, me, I spent the whole
night calling it gnocchi. Some people say the
ricotta version is easier for first- time makers.
The process is similar to making any other
sort of pasta: Mix eggs, flour and salt togeth-
er in this case ricotta and Parmesan, too.
All of that will be easier if you have a
stand-up mixer with a paddle attachment,
but my actual mid-20s self doesnt have one
of those yet, so the mixing was done by hand.
Knead the dough into a ball. You may
need to add more than the allotted flour.
You want the dough to be springy, not
sticky. Cut about a quarter of the dough ball
off and roll it into strips. I started rolling the
dough in my hands and then, once it was

Wind River a Western masterpiece
Wind River

R for strong violence, a rape,
disturbing images, and language.
J
ust about everyone in Wind River,
animal or human, is hunter or prey.
Wolves attack sheep. Mountain lions
prey on steers. A hunter aims his rifle at the
wolves and the mountain lions at the behest
of ranchers looking to save their livelihood.
Humans prey on other humans, savagely
attacking them and leaving them dead in
the cold.
Hunters with uniforms and badges and
weapons try to track down those predators
and bring them to justice, and that doesnt
necessarily mean cuffing them, reading them
their rights and taking them into custody.
Writer-director Taylor Sheridans Wind
River is a stark and beautiful and haunt-
ing 21st-century Western thriller, filled with
memorable visuals and poetic dialogue and
scenes of sudden, shocking, brutal violence.
At times it reminded me of No Country
for Old Men and Winters Bone and last
years Hell or High Water, and (in the case
of one character) it had me thinking about
The Silence of the Lambs. But this near-
masterpiece of mood and character study
stands on its own as one of the very best
movies Ive seen this decade.
Jeremy Renner doesnt have the wid-
est range in the game. His go-to onscreen
persona is squarely in the stoic leading man
zone populated by the likes of Gary Cooper
and John Wayne, Steve McQueen and Clint
Eastwood.
In Wind River, Renner is a quietly com-
manding presence as Cory Lambert, an agent
with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who
knows practically every snow-covered square

foot of the Wyoming territory he covers.
Cory grew up in this region and married a
Native American woman named Wilma ( Ju-
lia Jones). They had two children. They are no
longer together, for reasons we need not reveal.
We know from the prologue something
horrible happened to a young woman that
places her deep in the middle of nowhere in
the dead of night, desperately running for
her life in the subzero cold before her lungs
give out and she collapses.
But before we circle back to that event we
see Cory on the job, patiently waiting in the
snow before gunning down the wolves prey-
ing on a ranchers herd of sheep. We see Co-
rys respectful but tense interactions with his
ex-wife. We see the tender side of Cory, as he
teaches his young son, Casey (Teo Briones),
how to bond with a horse.

Its lovely and relatively quiet material,
but we have that opening scene lingering in
our memories, and theres something about
Sheridans dialogue, and the cinematography
by Ben Richardson, and the score from Nick
Cave and Warren Ellis, that permeates even
the most innocuous scenes with an air of ten-
sion and impending doom.
We learn the girl in the snow is Natalie
(Kelsey Asbille), a Native American teenager
who was best friends with Corys daughter.
It appears shes been assaulted and murdered.
Because the body was found on the Wind

screenplay for Wind River deftly sidesteps
cliched scenarios such as the cynical local au-
thorities mocking Janes naivete, or Cory and
Jane bickering with each other before tum-
bling into bed.)
The timeline for Wind River shifts on
occasion, always with graceful editing that
serves the story. Kelsey Asbille as Natalie and
Jon Bernthal as her older boyfriend, Matt, ap-
pear on-screen in a relatively brief but vitally
important flashback sequence, and their per-
formances are heartbreakingly effective.
Gil Birmingham, so good as Jeff Bridges
partner in Hell or High Water (also writ-
ten by Sheridan), is magnificent as Natalies
grieving father. Birminghams two major
scenes with Renner are unforgettable.
Renner and Elizabeth Olsen strike pitch-
perfect notes as unlikely partners who forge a
deep bond of mutual respect. A scene in which
Cory unburdens himself to Jane is masterful.
For all the character studies and mo-
ments of reflection and lament, Wind Riv-
er never loses its identity as a gritty thriller.
The bursts of gunfire are fast and furious and
sometimes unexpected, adding to the power
of such sequences.
