Griz shooting sparks hunt protest After hunters kill bear in Teton park, critics call for changes in elk reduction program. By Mike Koshmrl A hunter who was yards away when others killed a grizzly in Grand Teton National Park on Thanksgiving Day described a volley of shots and then shocked men retreating from the woods. Charles Peet, of Jackson, said Monday that he was hunting “75 to 100 yards” from where 48-year-old David Trembly, of Dubois, and Trembly’s 20- and 17-year-old sons gunned down the adult male bear. Peet, 80, was standing in the clearing east of heavy timber near Schwabachers Landing and was the first person the Tremblys encountered following the incident, he said. “The father and the two sons walked by me into the woods” on their way to hunt elk, Peet said. “Shortly after that, I heard rapid fire — three to four shots.” Peet, who didn’t see the encounter, said the sons were clearly in a state of “semi-shock” when they emerged from the woods. The bear was likely feeding on a cow elk carcass that was found nearby, the park said. Park officials investigating the incident haven’t said whether the three hunters deployed bear spray before the shooting. In a statement, park officials said the bear reportedly charged the hunters, who were licensed to shoot elk as part of the park’s “elk reduction program.” The first grizzly death tied to Grand Teton National Park’s hunt renewed calls for park officials to shut the Snake River bottomland near Schwabachers to hunting. One critic has started an online petition to end the park hunt, collecting 242 signatures by Tuesday. Another critic called for Grand Teton National Park Superintendent Mary Gibson Scott to resign, saying he warned her and Wyoming Game and Fish Supervisor Scott Talbott last year that a hunter-killed grizzly could be a See GRIZ SHOOTING on 20A

Park elk on the run As a veteran game warden watches, the seamy side of the Grand Teton National Park elk hunt unfolds. By Miller N. Resor The Tetons are glowing pink in the valley’s first light as Wyoming Game and Fish warden Jerry Longobardi’s green pickup truck crests the rise above the National Elk Refuge. He is on his way to monitor the elk reduction program in Grand Teton National Park, one of the many duties he’s performed in his 29 years on the job. On this day two weeks ago, his field biologist credentials come second to his law enforce-

ment training, but he has no problem patrolling the hunt. “Look at that view,” he says of the Tetons. “You never get tired of that.” What he sees next is more unsettling: At Antelope Flats he spots a herd of what he estimated to be 75 elk out in the open sagebrush. Hunters begin to approach from the southwest. The elk move west, toward the Snake River and safety, but balk. More hunters move toward the herd until the group is surrounded on three sides. The elk are already moving when the first shots ring out. They race back and forth, then huddle. Steam rises from their heated bodies. They are confused, on edge. “They don’t know where to go,” Longobardi says. “It’s times like this I start rooting for the elk.” See PARK ELK on 20A

A Wise & Warm Choice for Your Feet

Town to ask before combating flooding Some Flat Creek homeowners upset by damage last year. By Benjamin Graham If Flat Creek freezes and its banks begin to overflow this winter, the town of Jackson will again help residents battle the ensuing floods. But not without asking permission first. Last December, when the creek bottom froze and rising waters flooded homes near Crabtree and Berger lanes, the town sent contractors with backhoes to remove the culpable chunks of ice. The town asked some residents for permission to cross their property and access the creek’s shores. But one or two contractors acted without authorization, Town Manager Bob McLaurin said. While the efforts helped many, some property owners were upset by damage their land incurred from the heavy machinery, he said. Two have asked to be compensated, he said. “Going into the winter, it’s going to be the same as last year,” McLaurin said. “But before we go onto private property, we’ll get consent. Last year our contractors jumped the gun a little bit.” Damages included broken irrigation systems and downed trees.

During flood mitigation, backhoes are used to break up “anchor ice,” which in persistent cold weather builds up at the bottom of the creek, creating ice dams and clogging its flow. Access to the creek, much of which is bordered by private property, is critical. But some of the residents who were asked didn’t allow the machinery on their property. One homeowner who had his sprinkler system crushed by a backhoe said he still was surprised that some people didn’t cooperate with the town, despite the potential for damages. “Surprisingly, some people said

no,” Darrell Hawtkins said. “One would think that we kind of need to stick together on that.” The town paid for $2,500 worth of damages to Hawtkins’ property, which is on Shelby Lane. He had granted the town permission to use his land to reach the creek. “Our irrigation got hammered,” he said. “The town stepped up and reimbursed us so that it could be replaced.”

Resident board considered Those along the creek could soon have a more formal way to “stick together” when it comes to flood mitigation. An option being considered is the creation of a resident-run “watershed improvement district.” Under state statute, a five-member board could be elected to oversee funds and projects aimed at controlling erosion and floodwater on the creek. “It’s somewhat of a subdistrict of the Teton Conservation District itself,” said Dan Leeman, water resource specialist at the conservation district. “We’re really early in discussions.” The conservation district is charged with spending one mill of property tax on conservation projects, such as noxious weed control. Under the tax, property owners contribute one dollar to the district for every $1,000 of their property’s assessed value. The proposed subdistrict could help residents along the creek organize and raise funds to combat flooding. “One of the things that they could do is impose a special tax and that could help pay for flood mitigation,” Leeman said. But it’s also more than that, he said. “It would give the landowners better input of how the creek is managed,” Leeman said. As an example, the group would be eligible to apply for grants, he said. Leeman has spoken with several interested residents. He is drafting a letter and a petition that will be sent to property owners next to the creek. Signatures from 25 percent of the landowners who own 25 percent of the assessed land value are required before an improvement district can be set up.

County drug dog to be put down After hip surgery, cancer catches up with Duce.

By Brielle Schaeffer After six years of assisting sheriff ’s deputies in drug searches, drug dog Duce has been forced into early retirement by cancer. The Teton County Sheriff ’s Office will have to put Duce down in the coming weeks, his handler Deputy John LaBrec said. Duce, who received hip surgery with donations from the community earlier this year, is a 9-year-old golden retriever. “It sucks,” LaBrec said. “Even though he’s a working dog, he’s still part of family.” About five weeks ago, Duce collapsed at LaBrec’s home, where he stays when he is not doing his job. “We took him in and they found a big mass on his spleen,” LaBrec said. Doctors removed the spleen and biopsied the tissue as well as a spot on his liver. An examination of the tissues showed Duce had high-grade aggressive cancer, LaBrec said. “Who knows how far it’s gone since then?” he said. “They gave him a month, and it’s already been past that.” The sheriff’s office held a retirement party for Duce on Nov. 19, complete with a cake, dog treats and a plaque commemorating his service to the department. “He was well-liked and well-trusted by all the other officers to do a good job,” LaBrec said. The sheriff ’s office uses two drug dogs for periodic searches of the high schools and on probation and parole home visits. They’re also used at traffic stops. Duce was trained to sniff out five drugs: marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroine and meth. The National Police Canine Association gave him an award in 2007 for finding four pounds of marijuana in a car. Last December, PAWS of Jackson Hole began a law enforcement K-9 fund to raise money to help Duce and other dogs. Community members gave more than $8,000 to cover Duce’s $5,000 hip surgery, an expense the sheriff ’s office

“We all just expected he would be around and when we would retire Duce, he would go home and be a pet.” – Jim Whalen Teton County Sheriff

Sheriff Jim Whalen says that effort makes Duce’s prognosis even more difficult. The department was “devastated” to hear the news about Duce, he said. “This community stepped up a year ago to provide surgery for Duce,”

Whalen said. “He made a full recovery from that. That lends to the incredible sadness of it all. “We all just expected he would be around and when we would retire Duce, he would go home and be a pet to John [LaBrec] and his family” he added. The department recently got a new drug dog, a German shepherd named Gypsy, to take over for Duce. Deputy Latimer Gyetvai is her handler. Gypsy will join the office’s other K9, Pepper, a small black lab. Pepper began working for the sheriff in 2002. “We really think she’s going to fit well into the scheme of the canine program,” Whalen said. Duce’s cancer has made him more lethargic, but LaBrec said he will not let illness get the best of his partner’s last days. “We’re letting him be a dog and do whatever, because we’re not just going to keep him calm and do nothing the rest of his life,” he said. “We’ll let him play as much as he wants.”

Reform park hunt

rand Teton National Park’s elk reduction program is out of control. The shooting of a grizzly bear by elk hunters on Thanksgiving and the continuing bad manners and practices of other gunmen and women witnessed in recent weeks underscores the urgent need for reform. Unfortunately, park authorities have done little to cure the ills of a bad situation. Not all of Grand Teton’s wounds are selfinflicted. With the expansion of Grand Teton National Park in 1950, Congress allowed elk hunting to continue east of the Snake River. The elk reduction program was necessary to ensure proper management of the Jackson Elk Herd. While the herd is at its target size today — 11,500 — managers consider it lopsided among its segments. Elk that summer in the Teton Wilderness, the Gros Ventre mountains and southern Yellowstone National Park are dwindling in comparison to those from southern Grand Teton and suburban Teton County. The burgeoning “river-bottom” or “suburban” elk live much if not all of the year in places hunters and predators don’t frequent. What to do but kill the park animals as they migrate to the National Elk Refuge? But the hunt has created atrocities. As witnessed by a reporter this week, some elk hunters in Grand Teton have poor ethics, shooting into herds of running elk hundreds of yards away. The killing of the grizzly on Thanksgiving occurred when anybody who wanted to know could find out that at least five of the beasts were prowling the Snake River bottom near Schwabachers Landing. Also, part of an elk herd had just met its demise at the hands of hunters there, leaving guts and body parts strewn about as grizzly attractants. Given the controversial and highly visible nature of the elk reduction program, the only one in a national park, Grand Teton should do its utmost to ensure it is a paragon of ethics, style and purpose. Leaders should consider timely closure of wooded areas when grizzlies are feeding on gut piles. They should consider requiring hunters to hire outfitters to pack out gut piles for disposal. They should consider a regulation adopted by the refuge that limits hunters to seven bullets, discouraging longrange herd shooting. And they should strive to be more open, more forthcoming with information about incidents like last week’s grizzly shooting, if they seek public support. Lacking that, the public will continue to oppose the hunt in increasing numbers, making today’s management problems seem trivial.

LETTERS Warning ignored The following was addressed to Grand Teton National Park Superintendent Mary Gibson Scott — Ed. The killing of a beautiful and precious (and Endangered Species Act-protected) grizzly bear [Nov. 22] in Grand Teton National Park by your “qualified and experienced” deputies (as required by Public Law 81-787, § 6(b), and 16 USC § 673c(b)) during the annual elk reduction program has now happened, as you and I and so many others knew would be the case sooner or later. The news of the killing of this bear ... was not the way I wanted to end an otherwise great Thanksgiving, which celebrates life and sharing. Needless to say, it was not easy to explain the killing to my grandchildren, who on many occasions have enjoyed hiking, boating, biking and other activities in Grand Teton National Park. As stated in my July 23, 2012, letter to Scott Talbott, director of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and you, in which I pleaded for cancellation of the 2012 elk reduction program: “Because grizzly bears, which are a protected species under the federal Endangered Species Act,

and black bears are attracted to elk ‘gut piles’ left by ERP hunters, there inevitably have been and will continue to be human-bear conflicts within Grand Teton as a result of the ERP. Thus, there is a serious and present danger that humans (i.e., hunters and other members of the public who use GTNP) and/or bears will be killed or seriously injured as a result of the 2012 ERP. If grizzly bears are killed or injured, there likely will be violations of the ESA that could give rise to federal penalties and/or prosecutions.” I spent considerable time in preparing the July 23 letter, which set forth the practical, legal and other reasons for canceling the 2012 ERP, but neither Gov. Mead nor you believed that there was any need, if for no other reason than common courtesy, to respond to or even acknowledge receipt of the letter. The 2012 ERP is not over. [Nov. 22’s] tragedy could be repeated as a result of another hunterbear conflict or other ERP-connected incident such as a tourist hit by an errant bullet while traveling through Grand Teton. Your legacy as superintendent of Grand Teton National Park, the only national park in which hunting is allowed, was sealed yesterday, and it is See LETTERS on 5A

an ugly legacy. The time is overdue for you to submit your resignation and allow the superintendency to pass to a successor who might not be any better but could not be worse. Perhaps as a final act you could take whatever steps you can to assure that the facts surrounding the killing of the grizzly bear in Grand Teton yesterday are thoroughly and objectively investigated and that the “qualified and experienced deputies” who killed the bear are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, if warranted by the investigation. The investigation should include a determination whether the deputies, in fact, were “qualified and experienced,” as required by federal law, including whether (a) their qualifications and experience were properly reviewed and confirmed by the National Park Service, Grand Teton National Park and the state of Wyoming, and (b) they were given proper instructions, restrictions and guidance by these agencies, prior to your issuance of their deputization orders and the beginning of the 2012 ERP, that would have alerted them to the possibility of conflicts with bears and how to avoid those conflicts without death or injury to humans or bears. Robert H. Aland Winnetka, Ill.

Move the bears I have been a resident of Teton County the past 17 years since 1995. Isn’t it about time that Messrs. [Tom] Mangelson and [Tim] Mayo got off their inappropriate soapboxes about banning the Grand Teton Park elk reduction hunt and started focusing their energies on a more fair and equitable solution — like relocating bear 610 and her offspring so that the bears can exist in a less human-occupied territory? Such an effort would without question lessen the chances of bear-human conflicts, allow the bears to roam freely, not teach other bears to hunt in the lower elevations of Grand Teton National Park and

still allow us humans to reasonably utilize the park as a vehicle for the harvesting of elk. I just spent six hours climbing up and down Blacktail Butte and its many draws in pursuit of the very elusive elk — if that’s not hunting, as Mangelson and Mayo bluster, then what is? Phil Cohen M.D. Jackson Hole

Leave it to pros Given last week’s killing of an adult male grizzly in Grand Teton National Park by hunters, there will undoubtedly be a renewed call to end the park hunt. While I am personally in favor of continuing the hunt, I can see how people could be against it. I would simply request that individuals fully educate themselves on the issue before taking a stance. I have personally taken five elk in the last six years while participating in the park’s hunt. Four out of five of those have been taken in the river bottom. During this time, I have had one run-in with a griz. When I encountered the bear, I was able to observe it from a distance and wait until it had moved on before continuing on my way. In the past couple of years, there have been some folks who were not so fortunate. The issue at hand is the humanbear conflict. While hunting in the park greatly increases the possibility of a bear encounter, it is not by any means the only opportunity for these interactions to occur. Taking a quick look at the available data illustrates that grizzlies are dying by vehicle collisions, hiker encounters, management agencies and their fellow bears. Many of these bears are killed when they become “problem bears” that feed on livestock or become too comfortable with humans. That being the case, I don’t see anyone rallying to end ranching in the Greater Yellowstone Area. Say we were to ban hunting in the park. Would we run the risk of ending up like Rocky Mountain National Park with too many elk and no management plan to deal with them? Tom Mangelsen is one very outspo-

ken critic of the park hunt and is quick to comment on any bear conflicts that arise. He has even blamed hunters for conflicts that have occurred prior to the start of hunting seasons (JH News&Guide, Aug. 22, 2012). Yet, when the park closes Moose-Wilson Road to photographers to prevent bear conflicts, he becomes a vocal opponent of the closures. In the years I have hunted the park, I have witnessed some unsportsmanlike activities by other hunters. I don’t disagree that there are some people out there who give us a bad name. All I ask is for people to take a wellinformed look at the situation prior to forming an opinion and to let the professionals handle the situation in the manner that best serves all users. Tony Sloan Jackson

Untested shooters The following was addressed to Grand Teton National Park Superintendent Mary Gibson Scott — Ed. Here it is again — hunting season. And, again, another tragedy has occurred. Due to your seeming disregard for the park wildlife and for the safety of the people (tourists, hunters and photographers alike), another bear has been killed. I refer to this as a hunt because I don’t believe you are adhering to the guidelines of the elk reduction program put forth by the park charter, on which you tenaciously rely. According to your own park biologists, the numbers of the park elk herd are not great enough to warrant a reduction; nevertheless, you allow a hunt to be carried out. You dole out hunting licenses to people that the park charter states must be “qualified and experienced.” In my experience, not all of the licensees fit the criteria. And due to your own poor testing prior to licensing, neither do you. To wit: I know of at least one man who was granted a hunting license who was never asked to fire a gun and through the entire process was never asked for identification. How can you possibly claim that these people, whom you deputize See LETTERS on 16A

gramming even more and bolster partnerships with other education organizations offering students summer learning options. The district data is taken from the Measures of Academic Progress, or MAP test, given to elementary and middle school students. The most striking finding, Ransom said, was that higherachieving students who don’t qualify for summer programs have greater levels of learning loss than “at-risk” kids who did qualify but did not attend. “The higher you went, the higher learning loss there was,” Ransom said. Test score data also shows that students who needed help in a specific subject — either reading or math — and attended the summer programs made the most improvement. Historically, the district has done day-long programs focusing on math and reading, Ransom said. But the data shows the school district should explore single-subject programs. “What we’d really like to do is be smarter on how we’re targeting kids and find the kids who need the most help,” he said. The district offered six summer programs last year for pre-kindergarteners to high school seniors in the 30th percentile of reading and math in nationwide standardized testing averages. About 360 students participated in the program, but participation could have been higher, Ransom said. To boost student participation next year, district leaders are developing better ways to communicate with parents about the summer school programs and available community day care options earlier in the year. “How can we as a district help get them involved and connected to other resources?” Ransom said.

Eighteen Jackson Hole residents submitted a letter to town and county officials asking them to extend public transportation to Gros Ventre Junction, Jackson Hole Airport and Moose. The letter said bus routes north of town would benefit people living there. In the past, elected officials and the airport board have considered expanding public transportation in an effort to cut parking congestion at the airport and reduce the number of vehicles on the road. Many of the bus riders would be travelers or airport workers. But the letter, written by Cara Liberatore and signed by 17 other residents living near Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis, adds another group to the list of people who could benefit. The valley’s combined pathways and START bus system are the “gold standard” for transportation planning and development, Liberatore wrote to officials. “The missing link, however, persists,” Liberatore said in the letter. “I write specifically on behalf of many of my neighbors, who are among 22 year-round households with one to two working adults commuting daily to and from town, living in the affordable housing development across from Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis,” she said. Added service would benefit “many year-round working individuals who

live one mile north/south of Spring Gulch/Sagebrush junction commuting to Jackson daily.” START Director Michael Wackerly said the letter has been considered in a study the bus service is doing on the feasibility of public transit to the airport. “I’ve added to that study that any services provided between the airport and town would include a stop at Gros Ventre Junction,” Wackerly said. The study looks at where airport employees live, their shift times and whether they would consider paying a fee to ride the bus, among other issues. Wackerly wouldn’t say how the letter might affect the ultimate decision about extending service. “We really hadn’t thought about residents living in that area before the letter,” he said. The START board has considered several options for connecting the airport to town, including hiring a private company, providing a limited number of buses in the summer and initiating full, year-round START service. The main deterrent is cost. A summer trial period of running START buses for airport employees would cost about $70,000, Wackerly said at a board meeting last month. Other alternatives, including year-round START service, would cost from $600,000 to more than $1 million a year. Alltrans, a private bus company, serves the airport but only takes passengers to and from hotels. The company charges $16 for a one-way trip to town. START staff will present options to town and county officials at a joint meeting in December.

Tyrannosaurus skull seized from Jackson Feds investigate whether fossil was imported legally.

By Kevin Huelsmann A Tyrannosaurus skull seized at a Jackson home this summer is at the center of a federal Department of Homeland Security investigation. The Tyrannosaurus bataar skull, also known as the Tarbosaurus, is being held in Denver at the port director of customs’ office. The fossil, estimated to be worth between $250,000 and $400,000, was taken June 26 from an individual’s home in Jackson. The skull was seized by customs officials with a warrant issued by Wyoming’s federal district court, said JoAnn Winks, assistant port director of trade for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Winks declined to provide any other details about the case because Homeland Security agents still are investigating. And a Homeland Security spokesman said he couldn’t answer any questions about the skull because of the investigation. He declined to answer even basic questions about the circumstances of the incident. Neither spokesperson would divulge the identity of the person whose home the skull was taken from, nor would they discuss the origins of the skull. The issue surfaced in a legal notice published in the Nov. 21 edition of the News&Guide. The brief note said the skull was seized because of violations of federal law related to imported items. The laws cited in the notice require residents to have documentation that certain ethnological and archaeological items have been exported legally. The skull will be forfeited to the federal government if no one claims it before Dec. 11, according to the legal notice. It says anyone who wants to file a written claim for the skull has to go to the port director’s office in Denver and post a $5,000 bond. The Tarbosaurus is an Asian species that lived during the Cretaceous period,

On-site yoga classes or nutritional seminars could become part of the school district’s employee wellness plan when St. John’s Medical Center begins assessing school staff in January. School district employees will be able to participate in St. John’s Medical Center “Wellness Works” program as part of their health benefits. At a Nov. 13 meeting, the Teton County School District No. 1 Board of Education unanimously approved the new agreement with the medical center, which encourages healthy behavior and participation in blood tests and employee surveys. The $11,000 contract with the hospital will help school staff develop a preventive wellness plan. “It’s a great benefit to our employees,” Trustee Greg Dennis said at the meeting. But it’s also good for the district. “Anything we can do to keep people well and ahead of their health problems is a good thing.” The contract is based on a cost of $55 per participant, which the district is covering, Dennis said. The school district agreed to a minimum of 200 participants and a maximum of 605 in the medical center’s program. “I’d expect more employers to start doing the same thing,” district Finance Director Matt Rodosky said. “It’s a good deal.” “Worksite Wellness” is the plan St.

School district to offer worker wellness program By Brielle Schaeffer

John’s Medical Center has been offering its employees for two years, said Julia Heemstra, wellness coordinator. The hospital has been impressed with participation and with the results, she said. The program has improved employee health and enhanced workplace productivity. “We reduced employee stress levels by 10 percent, which was staggering for us,” Heemstra said. With better employee health, wellness programs can save employers money on health insurance benefits. St. John’s calculates it saved nearly $25,000 last year by reducing employee stress. “In our experience, there are many positive benefits to embracing a formal work-site wellness program, including happier, healthier employees and a respectable return on investment,” St. John’s Medical Center CEO Lou Hochheiser said in a statement. Superintendent Pam Shea said she hopes to duplicate the hospital’s experience with school employees. District workers will be offered incentives — such as small cash payments or gift certificates — for completing each step of the process. The program will begin in a month with free blood screenings for district staff and a confidential online health risk survey. With those results, St. John’s will develop programming specific for each school.

Moose-Wilson Road traffic study released Original analysis that led to 1-way proposal completed in 2009. By Mike Koshmrl The analysis that led to plans to make the Moose-Wilson Road a oneway route has been released after a barrage of criticism aimed at Grand Teton National Park officials. County commissioners, town officials and the media had requested release of the “adaptive management plan” that explained the northbound-only traffic plan after it was announced, blasted and withdrawn. But Grand Teton officials held documents until Nov. 19. The primary study, a 103-page document written by Montana State University’s Western Transportation Institute, includes seven management ideas designed to cut congestion and limit environmental harm without altering Moose-Wilson’s rustic character. The document was completed in 2006 and last revised in 2009. Some stakeholders in the community met the release of the documents with approval — and cynicism. “Isn’t it nice to have something actually become public that was out there since 2006,” Jackson Hole Mountain Resort President Jerry Blann said. “I’m outraged that all this stuff was kept in somebody’s desk for several years and then unveiled because someone in our delegation made them do it.” Grand Teton officials started briefing community stakeholders earlier this summer on the proposal to prohibit southbound traffic on the MooseWilson Road beginning in 2013. Blann, whose bottom line would be affected by a one-way road, said he had a “this is what we’re thinking” appointment with Grand Teton management assistant Gary Pollack around that time.

Critics say study not data-driven Community backlash and calls for openness led Grand Teton to park the one-way traffic plan in early October After reviewing the document, Blann and county commission Chairman Ben Ellis questioned the objectivity of the Montana State University study. “When you look at the assumptions the park had in there, I don’t know how they could have come up with anything other than what they come up with,” Blann said. Ellis was equally critical. “There’s nothing in the report that indicates they ever considered [twoway traffic],” the commissioner said. “It wasn’t data-driven and there weren’t measurable outcomes in terms of user experience. What’s a measurable objective that they’re trying to reach?” A summary statement in the document explained why northbound one-way traffic was the park’s preferred strategy for the increasingly busy road. “Considering the strategies with oneway traffic flow, one-way northbound

is the preferred option,” the document reads. “It has the least impact on vehicles in terms of rerouting and delay. It has an expected safety impact similar to the other one-way options. All visitors entering Moose–Wilson Road will have to pass the Granite Canyon Entrance Station. It requires less management effort and has lower potential for confused motorists than reversible flow.” Grand Teton officials maintain that the plan was based on the character of the road they want to preserve, not traffic counts.

Economic effects ‘come third’ “I can give you numbers all day long,” Grand Teton Superintendent Mary Gibson Scott said in a Nov. 19 interview. “That’s not how we make decisions. That’s how you make transportation decisions in a state, a county and a town. I make decisions based on park values, park resources, park visitation and visitor experience. The numbers are only a part of that formula. “We’ve consistently gone on record saying it’s a park road, it’s its own destination, and we’re concerned about growing impacts and use,” she said. Traffic counts on the Moose-Wilson Road show that 1,800 and 2,000 vehicles travel the roadway daily during peak summer times, Pollock said. That’s up from “800 vehicles a day maybe 20 years ago,” Gibson Scott said. Grand Teton officials say they consider Moose-Wilson Road to have reached its capacity, though that’s an arbitrary determination. “There is no capacity limit because it wasn’t designed — it was a wagon road,” Gibson Scott said. Much of the traffic on the road is locals commuting, the Montana State University study said. “Anecdotal evidence from park staff indicates that 50 percent of Moose–Wilson Road traffic during the summer months may be commuter-oriented,” the report reads. Blann criticized the park for making the decision “in a vacuum.” But he said he understands the economic effects of the roadway strategy “kind of come third.” Gibson Scott emphasized that point, saying she recognized the park benefits both Teton County — and its neighbor Teton County, Idaho — at somewhere between $450 and $460 million a year. “We know we have a huge effect on the economy of the region,” the park superintendent said. “But that’s not the purpose for which Grand Teton was created. The purpose Grand Teton was created for was to preserve the wildlife and the resources for the American public for all future generations.” Ellis said he heard from National Park Service Regional Director John Wessels that Grand Teton would be “developing a real adaptive management plan” that would be “based on actual information that would have measurable outcomes over the next year.” “I think that’s a minimum standard for what the community should expect,” he said.

NO FEES! ONE PRICE FOR PROPANE

A “bad year” only got worse for a Jackson man after his self-avowed coping mechanism resulted in a felony charge. Michael Ivan Basye, 22, faces one count of felony property destruction after he allegedly destroyed a stranger’s Jeep Cherokee on Saturday. He knocked out every piece of glass in the car in frustration over “having a bad year,” court files allege. At his initial appearance in 9th Circuit Court on Monday, Judge James Radda required Basye to post a $5,000 unsecured bond to get out of jail. He will not have to post the money up front, but will have to pay the amount of the bond if he fails to appear for future court appearances. If he is released, Basye will have to remain under house arrest at his parents’ home in Hoback Junction while his case moves through the courts. “It’s actually pretty scary behavior to randomly choose someone’s car and destroy it,” Teton County Deputy Prosecutor Clark Allen said at Monday’s hearing. Allen requested a “significant” bond, but Basye’s parents, both of whom were present, asked Radda to consider releasing him to their custody instead. Radda agreed, ordering Basye to stay in his parents’ house except to go to work or meet with a lawyer. He also is required to stop at the Teton County Jail on his way to work to take portable breath tests to prove he is complying with the no-alcohol condition Radda im-

posed. He must get a substance abuse evaluation, another condition his parents requested. Basye admitted in court he was drinking Saturday night shortly before police say he broke every window, taillight and headlight of a car he apparently chose at random. Basye and the car’s owner say they do not know each other, police records indicate. The car owner’s neighbor called police just after 2 a.m. Saturday to report someone breaking the windows of a car on her street. The officer heard glass breaking on his approach, and saw a man later identified as Basye near the car, apparently hitting it with something, according to police records. The officer handcuffed Basye and investigated the area. On closer examination, “every piece of glass and plastic” on the car was broken, including windows and lights, court files allege. A rock that police estimate weighed between 30 and 50 pounds was on the back seat, and a smaller, fistsized rock was on the floor, according to police files. The officer also smelled bleach coming from inside the car and noticed the upholstery was beginning to change color, according to police files. Based on that and an empty container nearby, Basye is accused of dumping a bottle of bleach over the inside of the car. Estimates of the repair costs are more than $1,000, the threshold for a felony charge in property destruction cases. Basye allegedly told the arresting officer that he was having a bad year and “taking it out on the car.” He is next scheduled to appear in court Dec. 6 for a status hearing, giving him time to hire a lawyer.

A Grover man remained in jail Tuesday after a not-so-happy Thanksgiving resulted in a felony strangulation charge. Robert William Coziah, 58, faces the felony along with misdemeanor charges of battering a household member and interfering with an emergency call. He allegedly choked his wife into unconsciousness during a fight. “This is a very serious battery case,” Teton County Deputy Prosecutor Clark Allen said Monday at Coziah’s initial court appearance. “This is one of the more serious cases I’ve seen in a while.” At Coziah’s first appearance in 9th Circuit Court, Judge James Radda ordered him to get a domestic violence evaluation and have a treatment plan before he can post bail. Along with the evaluation order, Radda set Coziah’s bail at $50,000 cash or surety bond, though Coziah said he wouldn’t be able to post that much money. His sister, who was present at the hearing, said she will help him hire a lawyer. Coziah also is forbidden to contact his wife or to ask anyone else to contact her on his behalf.

]

Police arrested Coziah on Thanksgiving after his wife reported he beat her. The woman was in the couple’s hotel room at the Elk Country Inn when Coziah came home from work, court records state. They began arguing, and the disagreement allegedly quickly turned physical. Coziah pushed the woman to the floor and hit her several times in the chest, back and face, court files state. He also is accused of pushing her onto the room’s bed and strangling her into unconsciousness. The woman told police she tried to call 911 from both her cellphone and the room’s landline, but Coziah stopped her. Police reported finding the cellphone without its battery and the motel phone hanging off its hook when they searched the room. Police noted several cuts and bruises on the woman’s face and torso, and that she had “distinct discoloration/bruises on both sides of the front of her neck,” court records state. Coziah is quoted in court documents as explaining her injuries by saying his wife “fell on her face several times and got all banged up and bloody.” Coziah’s next court appearance is scheduled to be a status hearing Friday.

ever, are concerned about the financial fallout of an expansion.

Crowd of nearly 1,000 attends lighting party Chamber gives away 200 gift cards, children visit with Santa while crowd entertained by Christmas caroling. By Johanna Love As dusk fell Friday, hundreds of children slammed free hot chocolate and cast anxious eyes to the sky for a glimpse of Santa’s sleigh. They were part of a crowd estimated at nearly 1,000 people who gathered in and around George Washington Park for the Town Square Lighting ceremony. Led by the Jackson Hole Chorale and Jackson Hole Community Band, adults sang familiar carols like “O Little Town of Bethlehem” and “Hark the Herald Angels Sing.” Relatively balmy weather for late November had many residents hanging out without their woolen caps, although out-of-town visitors still shivered. Mayor Mark Barron, as master of ceremonies, gave periodic updates on Santa Claus’ progress: Radar shows he’s above Yellowstone National Park. He’s circling the National Elk Refuge. He’s landed his reindeer among the elk! PRICE CHAMBERS / NEWS&GUIDE photos

A large crowd gathers at Town Square on Friday night, awed as thousands of lights illuminate the park during the annual lighting ceremony hosted by the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce.

Tourism slogan

to satisfy some of the charter rules, are “qualified and experienced”? You have no idea. My greatest question of all is how you can explain that you are not in violation of the Endangered Species Act. Grizzly bears are a protected endangered species. By allowing hunters to kill elk in the river bottom and leave gut piles and entire carcasses, you encourage bears into the area, putting them in direct danger of encounters with hunters exactly like the one that resulted in the death of the bear on Thanksgiving — a completely predictable outcome. You are setting up an endangered species to be slaughtered. To have your park spokesperson claim that the Park Service had no knowledge of bear activity in the area is ridiculous. Every photographer and park enthusiast knew that bears were in the river bottom and had been seen for days, if not weeks. Maybe it’s time for you to stop your adversarial attitude toward the photographers who frequent the park and make the relationship more of an advisory one. You might be better informed for it, and it might cut down on accidental and dangerous encounters. The onus should be on the Park Service and hunters to know the area and stop putting endangered species in their sights when it could so easily be avoided. But, all things considered, the best way to avoid all these problems would be to admit that a hunt within the boundaries of this national park is just too dangerous — for the wildlife and the people who want to enjoy the park in peace and safety.

With regard to the travel and tourism board’s request for an October event: “Welcome to Wyoming, the wildlife-kill state, including GTNP.” It could be you already have it. “Come watch us kill wildlife, bears, wolves.” If all this keeps up you won’t have business, except hunters.

lights wrapped around the trees and four antler arches. The crowd applauded heartily before turning all eyes to the northeast arch to watch Santa’s arrival, led by a team of Jackson Hole Iditarod sled dogs. Pint-size groupies rushed the stage to greet the man of the hour. Those who took a turn on Santa’s lap were rewarded with a book donated by Teton Literacy Center. Word is that the man in red will appear again Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Wort Hotel during a chamber mixer and the lighting of Glenwood Street. Starting Dec. 15, Santa plans to greet boys and girls from 5 to 7 p.m. nightly through Christmas Eve at the Stage Stop building on Town Square.

Close to 400 people lined up for a chance to get one of 200 $25 American Express gift cards the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce handed out to promote Small Business Saturday, said Rick Howe, director of visitor services for the chamber. “I don’t think you could have asked for more excitement or buy-in from the community,” Howe said. “It elevated the whole event.” Many businesses around the square reported that people used the gift cards for shopping Friday night, Howe said, and others reported them being spent Saturday and Sunday. After Barron counted down from 10, the Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation Department flipped a switch to ignite thousands of white LED

Ban the hunt It angered me very much to hear about the grizzly death inside Grand Teton at the hands of hunters. What a travesty, an abomination, to have to kill a still-endangered animal in the name of “self-defense.” We need to end this park hunt, elk reduction program immediately. According to the park’s records, this was the 51st grizzly death in the greater Yellowstone region just this year. All human caused. And onethird were caused by human hunters. I call for a total ban on hunting in Grand Teton and also around all grizzly bear habitat. Hunters are just not choosing to use bear spray. Fifty-one grizzly deaths prove it. James Duncan Jackson

Must say Jesus As a believer (Christian), I am personally offended that we cannot have a prayer that mentions Jesus within it. How can one pray directly to the Father except to go through Jesus Christ? He is our advocate to the Father, and our prayers are carried to the

Father by Jesus. To leave Jesus out of prayer is to have our prayers stop with the prayer and have no meaning. William C. Thomas Springdale, Ariz.

Father good enough It seems pastors Atkins and Landis are upset with the blowback of their divisive and exclusive brand of Christianity (follow Jesus and go to heaven or don’t follow Jesus and go to hell). Christianity with its hellfire God has alienated so many in America, the world and I guess some at the JH Rodeo. As a lover of Jesus and a child of an inclusive Father God, I personally have no problem with the insertion of “Father” in place of “Jesus” in the newly proposed rodeo prayer. Didn’t Jesus say, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30)? John Hennessey Jackson

Mayor on track Mayor Barron and the Town Council should be commended for their nonsectarian approach to the rodeo prayer. I’m sure it was a difficult decision and will be unpopular with some, but it was the correct one. The rodeo is a public event and should be inclusive of all who attend and compete, not just Christians. There are plenty of opportunities for people to practice their chosen religion. It shouldn’t be forced upon others at a public event. Clark Brooks Teton Village

Dictator mayor I cannot believe our mayor and city

council have decided to take on the role of dictator and tell people running a concession, our rodeo, what they will or will not say in a prayer. It seems to me our government that was once “by and for” all “the people” has increasingly become by and for the interests of a few. He who yells loudest takes away the rights and freedom of everyone else. What happened to our democracy? If in fact we have a democracy, then perhaps the right thing to do would be to ask the opinions of the participants and the attendees at the rodeos all summer long. It would be pretty simple to print a question on the back of tickets asking, “Are you offended by the prayer at the beginning of the rodeo? Should Jesus stay or go?” along with a space for comment. What if instead of being a dictator, Mayor Mark Barron actually listened to the voices of the majority? We all have an interest in this issue even if we do not attend rodeo or participate as contestants, because our freedom is being taken away and our values are being eroded. If allowed to continue, one of these days Big Brother government will be taking away a right or freedom you do cherish. I am sorry that someone out there who attended a rodeo was offended by the mention of Jesus. However, that really seems to be a personal choice on their part because for morer than 2,000 years Jesus has included everyone, and the argument that the mention of his name excludes someone is absurd. I love the Jackson Hole Rodeo, and the prayer at the beginning has always been my favorite part. I felt proud to be at an event that honored God and America, because this is our culture. I don’t think that I’m the only person who feels offended that our freedom to pray however we want is being taken away. We vote in many ways, and two of the biggest See LETTERS on 17A

ways are by what we spend our time and money on. Is it time for those of us who want the government to butt out to wage a protest? Is it really necessary for us to picket with signs in order for our voices to be heard? Teresa Nelson Jackson

Prayer a highlight We attended the rodeo with our grandchildren and children. The prayer was one of the highlights of our trip to Yellowstone. I am sorry for your decision. Bev Eckmann Edmonds, Wash.

Prayer a clincher My husband and I visited Jackson Hole for this first time this past June. It was such an incredible visit, our decision was made that we would make Jackson Hole our home in 2014. Aside from all the obvious wonderful things about this little town, the rodeo was a clincher in our our decision. The people were so real and friendly. But, when the announcer said the prayer with such conviction and closed in Jesus’ name, we knew we were making the right decision. A vast majority of our Founding Fathers had Judeo-Christian values, which they followed and depended upon in making decisions for Americans. I think we are forgetting who we really are when we so easily let others dictate our freedoms. At some point, Americans have got to go back to our founding principles. Are we are going to continue to allow a small group of people to strip us of the values that we so deeply believe? Or, are we going to say, “This is how we do it here”? If you don’t agree or like our values, then go somewhere else. No one tells these people they must go to the rodeo. If they don’t like the opening prayer, wait and come afterward. I can assure you that Jackson Hole will continue to thrive and be blessed. Let’s leave the Jackson Hole Rodeo alone and continue to enjoy this wonderful tradition and allow the announcer to continue to pray in Jesus’ name for protection over the participants.

It is essential that we make research into pancreatic cancer a priority in this country so that real progress can be made toward better treatment options, early detection and a cure. I am a volunteer for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in Wyoming, and I am helping to accomplish that goal by introducing a Town of Jackson Awareness Proclamation that recognizes November as National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. I lost my both my brother and mother to pancreatic cancer, and I have friends in Jackson who also have had close relative die from pancreatic cancer. The proclamation will raise awareness about this devastating disease and encourage our elected officials to make fighting pancreatic cancer a priority.

Loring Woodman, sitting in his Fish Creek home, points out the line between his property and that of his neighbor’s Lazy Moose Ranch.

RURAL EVENTS Continued from cover

Woodman said. “You can’t fight that. I didn’t get mad until I found out they were changing the law for them. I felt like they were making an end run.” On Tuesday, the years-long battle between Woodman and Lin and the Siegfrieds could come to a head. Teton County commissioners are poised to vote on a new set of rules that will regulate owners of large rural properties who want to host special events such as wedding receptions and corporate retreats. Commissioners are scheduled to consider the proposed regulations during a meeting Tuesday at 9 a.m., at the county administration building, 200 S. Willow St. Though the rules will apply across the entire county, they largely have been driven by the Lazy Moose, whose owners have made it clear they plan to apply for a permit under the new rules as soon as county leaders sign off. The proposed regulations are an attempt by planners and county officials to regulate a use that’s already prevalent throughout the county. Officials say the rules — available at TetonWyo.org, posted on the commissioners’ agenda for Tuesday — will give them more control over the events than they’ve ever had, allowing planners to limit the effects on neighbors like Woodman and Lin while still providing an opportunity for landowners like the Siegfrieds to make money from something besides development.

It started with some friends The Siegfrieds have hosted parties in the refurbished Wilson Sinclair gas station adjacent to Woodman’s property since the early 2000s. Robin Siegfried said he moved the old gas station up to his property, which overlooks Fish Creek, to have a place with a view, where he could relax. They initially hosted friends and family for small get-togethers but soon found themselves getting more and more requests to host other parties. In 2011, the last time they held regular events, they averaged 44 guests. “People would say, ‘I’d like to have my wife’s birthday party up here,’” Siegfried said, speaking on the telephone from Tulsa, Okla., where he was hunting. “A guy handed me a check and I said, ‘OK.’ Then another showed up and another.” The Lazy Moose Ranch fills a niche

The old Wilson Sinclair gas station was dismantled in 2001 and moved to the Lazy Moose Ranch on Fish Creek Road. Owners Robin and Cherrie Siegfried recently began renting the property for private parties.

that isn’t addressed anywhere else in Jackson Hole, Siegfried said. It draws visitors to the valley and allows him to maintain open space. He said his only options if the county makes the rules more restrictive or fails to approve them are to develop high-priced homes, turn the property into a dude ranch or affordable housing development, or use it as a pig farm. “I’m trying to pay for the increased cost you get for living in this county — the assessments, the taxes, all that stuff is expensive,” said Siegfried, who had an ownership stake in a aircraft manufacturing company in Tulsa. “I’m trying to pay for that without developing the property. I don’t want to.” The proposed regulations that commissioners will review Tuesday will allow rural landowners with at least 70 acres to apply for a special permit to host special events. A property will have to meet the definition of agricultural, which county regulations define as being “the use of a site of 70 acres or more for the cultivation of soil, the production of forage or crops or the rearing, feeding and management of livestock, poultry, bees, fish or other animal species.” County rules also state that agricultural land “shall be actively farmed or ranched.” If approved, landowners could host as many as 30 events a year — 15 between April 15 and Oct. 15 and another 15 between Oct. 16 and April 14 — but

commissioners could set a lower limit. Planners inserted a provision that restricts landowners to hosting no more than one event a week. The new rules would allow for outdoor events and indoor events held in existing buildings. If existing facilities couldn’t be brought up to meet building and fire codes, or if they were being used for agricultural purposes, a landowner could build new structures. Events could have no more than 300 guests, though commissioners could set more restrictive standards for certain applicants, depending on available parking, building size, property size and other safety concerns. Any music at the events would have to end by 10 p.m. The event would have to wrap up by 11 p.m. Noise couldn’t exceed 55 decibels when measured at the property line.

Hurts property values The proposed rules create an application process that provides commissioners with a lot of leeway to tighten standards. For example, they could require valet parking or shuttles. Board members also could require a minimum number of toilets Additionally, anyone who obtains a permit to host special events will have to submit an annual report to the planning department. And in some cases they’ll have to turn in environmental analyses and detailed site plans. At a

minimum, annual reports will have to include a tally of each year’s events and the noise levels recorded at the property line. One of the last points of contention, largely for Woodman, is the setbacks included in the proposed rules. The regulations would allow events to occur within 300 feet of the property line. Parking areas would be held to the same standard. Woodman says that setback is too small and doesn’t afford any real protection to rural neighborhoods like his. “You make it a quarter-mile and I’ll shut up,” he said. County commissioners, however, have rejected larger setbacks. Woodman has raised concerns that such a wide-reaching proposal will tear apart rural neighborhoods throughout the valley, creating more traffic and heavier use that will hurt property values. “I’m not going to be able to sell this property,” he said Monday. Based on work he did with a mapping consultant, Woodman estimates the proposed regulations would affect 131 parcels on nearly 23,000 acres. Those properties could be further subdivided and still meet the requirements included in the new rules, Woodman estimates. The Siegfrieds maintain they have done everything they can to avoid disturbing their neighbors. “They’re the only complainers,” Siegfried said Monday. “They’ve complained twice in eight years. Then they just grabbed a hold of this when it came before the county.” If Woodman and Lin don’t like the events, they should “move to Montana or Tahiti,” he said. If the rules are approved, Siegfried said he’ll probably host about 30 events a year. Ideally, they would host corporate events that last from 6 to 10 p.m. “They’re smaller events, under 100 people,” Siegfried said. “They’re older people. They’re not partying or listening to loud music. They’re entertaining their clients. They want a drink and a good steak. They’re tired from a day of skiing or fishing. They want to be in bed by 10:30 so they can do it again the next day.” Siegfried said he “handpicks” who is allowed to have a wedding at his ranch. “I’m not out to make this an every night thing,” he said. “I don’t have the energy to do that and it would tear up the place.”

PARK ELK

Continued from cover

Such is the opinion of many who witness a milling elk herd besieged by hunters during the park’s annual elk reduction program. While many elk are killed cleanly and ethically, others aren’t, and the highly visible hunt energizes critics every year. Longobardi pulled his truck onto the highway and activated his overhead lights to stop traffic and give the animals an avenue toward safety. A park ranger did the same farther down the highway, creating a passage. More shots sounded. The lead cow crossed the highway, the herd following over a bluff to the Snake River bottom. Longobardi pulled his truck to the side of the road and jumped out to watch. One hunter below had positioned himself well, and Longobardi saw him shoot a cow elk as the herd reached the river bottom. The shot turned the herd, but it hooked toward the Snake, running. Shots began ringing out from the parking lot at Schwabachers Landing, hundreds of yards away. Longobardi was angry. He was sure there were going to be wounded elk.

‘Not a real hunt’ “There is something about elk in the open that can bring out the worst in people,” he said as he drove down to investigate. “This is why this is not a real hunt. ... It’s kind of like shooting fish in a barrel.” When he arrived in the parking lot, park ranger Scott Guenther was issuing warnings to three hunters who were shooting from the parking lot. The day before, Longobardi had cited two men who had shot from within a quarter mile of the road, he said. “We are the referees,” he said. “We make sure that everyone plays by the rules.” Longobardi followed several hunters in the direction the elk went, crossing several side channels until he was near the Snake itself. Arriving at the first hunter, a man from North Dakota, Longobardi found a cow elk that had been gut shot. The hunter had finished it off just before Longobardi arrived. Longobardi reviewed the man’s license, park permit and hunter safety card. He found everything legal, but not in order. After moving on, he said it’s unethical to shoot long distances at running elk. That’s what leads to gut-shot elk running off to die slow, painful deaths. “I would never shoot at an animal I wasn’t 100 percent sure I was going to kill,” he said. “A real hunter would not find satisfaction in this sort of hunt.” Longobardi used “to really love to hunt.” Now he doesn’t have as much time or desire. But he still loves the meat and tries to keep some in his freezer. “Game warden’s generally know where to find an elk,” he said with a wink. To his surprise, he found only one small trail of blood as he continued to follow the herd. The drops were about 20 feet apart and ended at the river. On the far side was safety. He was hopeful the bleeding elk would survive.

violation of the Endangered Species Act, which protects the bear. “Your legacy as superintendent of GTNP, the only national park in which hunting is allowed, was sealed yesterday, and it is an ugly legacy,” Illinois activist Robert H. Aland wrote Scott in an email he provided to the News&Guide. Grand Teton and Game and Fish officials have said the hunt is necessary to achieve a balance among elk herd segments wintering on the National Elk Refuge. A park biologist has said it would continue to be necessary as long as elk numbers are sustained by winter feeding on that reserve. The park hasn’t commented on whether the party of three — the News&Guide learned their identities independently — used bear spray

Game Warden Jerry Longobardi watched the river bottom in Grand Teton National Park earlier this month. “We are referees,” he said of his role in the park elk reduction. “We make sure that everyone plays by the rules.”

As he walked back, he looked in the trees for signs of animals that might have split off from the herd, but found nothing. Over the course of his career, Longobardi has had to kill hundreds of wounded elk, something that does not make him happy. It’s a potential consequence of hunting anywhere. By 11 a.m., with the herd across the river and the sun well overhead, his work for the day was largely done.

30 shots, four elk As a consequence of the 30 or so shots fired that day, four elk went down between Antelope Flats and the river bottom. The day before, nine elk were killed in the same area. A large male grizzly bear had been spotted in the area to the north and would likely be feeding on the gut piles, Longobardi said. If he were the bear, he said, he would be sleeping in a dry place beneath a tree waiting for ravens to show him the way to gut piles. Hunting in there struck him as dangerous. He said he hoped hunters would be careful. Six days later, a party of three shot and killed an adult male grizzly nearby. Despite the imperfections and even dangers, the park hunt is necessary, Longobardi said. “The Teton Park hunt is really important as far as trying to reach management levels on the refuge,” he said. “Without the hunt, it would be unattainable.” Grand Teton and Yellowstone wilderness contain the largest remaining elk populations in North America, but before Europeans arrived, elk were spread across the entire country. When the first settlers arrived in Jackson, the valley likely supported as many as 25,000 elk. The buttes that surround Jackson were perfect for wintering elk because winds cleared the snow from the ridges and allowed elk to reach the native grasses they feed on, Longobardi said. But the town of Jackson was built on some of these prime elk winter ranges. The competition between elk and livestock for winter food, combined

during the encounter. Peet, the hunter who heard the gunfire, said they told him they did. “The father said he fired two shots of bear spray, one at 20 feet and one at 10 feet,” Peet said. “Then at eight feet the sons fired.” The incident happened at about 7:30 a.m. David Trembly declined an interview for this story. His father, Dwayne Trembly, of Cheyenne, confirmed his son was involved. The run-in was “pretty traumatic” for his son and grandsons, he said Friday in a phone interview. None of the hunters was injured. Peet encountered a grizzly himself days before. “I had that 610 bear stand up on me about a week before when I was on the trail,” he said. “She was with the three cubs,” he said, adding that they are big. “Those cubs aren’t exactly cubs,” Peet said

with the valley’s harsh winters, depleted the population. The National Elk Refuge was created in 1912 to preserve the herd. One hundred years later, the refuge continues its mission, but with a new goal. A management plan adopted in 2007 calls for a winter herd of 5,000 elk on the refuge, down from 7,500. Grand Teton National Park should have a summer population of 1,600. The entire herd, which includes animals wintering north of Jackson and in the Gros Ventre drainage, should remain at the state’s objective of 11,500, according to the plan. The legislation that expanded Grand Teton National Park in 1950 allowed for an elk reduction hunt when necessary to maintain a healthy population. Thus was created the only public hunt in a national park. Every year, wildlife biologists and game wardens from the state Game and Fish department along with park officials determine hunting regulations to cull the herd and reach the new goals. This year, hunters drew 725 licenses for cow and calf elk by lottery. It is the first year bull elk have been excluded from the hunt. The work Longobardi and many others do throughout the year determines the quotas. “The problem is the river-bottom elk are thriving,” Longobardi said, referring to elk that live in southern Grand Teton and on private land south of the park. Hunters are largely prohibited in those areas. Predators are reluctant to frequent neighborhoods. “Meanwhile, the Yellowstone and Teton Wilderness elk are struggling,” Longobardi said. “We need to kill river-bottom elk to preserve healthy populations of park elk.” In his 29 years, Longobardi said, he feels like he has seen 10,000 years of ecological change. The influx of grizzlies, restoration of wolves, onset of the mega-fire, changing climate and human growth make it difficult to say for sure why some species have flourished and other struggled. Human involvement has clearly had its effects. “Man is here,” he said. “You can’t divorce man from the scene.”

The encounter took place an hour before light near Triangle X Ranch, he said. That’s about five miles from the Schwabacher incident. Observers at nearby Teton Point Turnout on Thanksgiving could spy with binoculars four other grizzlies — likely 610 and cubs — within about a mile of the site. Part of the Schwabacher area was closed for a time starting Oct. 24 after a hunter left an elk carcass on the ground overnight and four grizzlies claimed it. Hunters and photographers at Teton Point on Thanksgiving said elk were regularly shot near Schwabachers and that grizzlies prowled the area as recently as the day before. Last year, a bear injured an elk hunter near Schwabachers, prompting a closure. Hunters at Teton Point Overlook on Monday were nearly uniformly wary of hunting in the river bottom.

“I’d be a little leery of hunting the brush down by the river,” said Alan Stenback, a burly Northern California resident who’s hunted in Grand Teton for the past 12 years. “Two days before that grizzly attacked they shot six elk down there. “That’s why the grizzly was there,” he said. “I knew of seven gut piles down there.” Grand Teton’s plant biologist, Jason Brengle, went out early Monday so he could hunt elk on his way into work. “I don’t go down by the river,” he said. “I’d go down in a group, but not by myself.” Brengle said he doesn’t want the river bottom to close, though, because hunters push elk out of the trees — and into gunfire range. “I’m looking out for my empty freezer,” he joked.

HUNTERS WARY

Ecologically, grizzly death insignificant

Continued from 20A

Teton employee hunting Monday morning, said he felt the Snake bottoms weren’t any more dangerous than the next place. “It doesn’t matter where you go because you always run the risk of running into bears,” Schierkolk said. “We’re in their backyard. “It used to be I’d go out by myself,” Schierkolk said,” but I don’t do that anymore because there’s so many more of them.” Dick Hurlocker, an Oklahoma resident who’s been hunting Grand Teton for 35 years, wasn’t surprised by the Trembly family’s grizzly encounter. “If you put enough people in an area, the law of averages is going to catch up eventually,” Hurlocker said. “Bears figure out the gunshots are dinner bells.” Grand Teton ranger Chris Valdez recognized that point while having a discussion with Jackson wildlife photographer and hunt critic Tom Mangelsen on Monday at Teton Point Overlook. “As you know, we have bears in this ecosystem, and bears follow food,” Valdez said. “Right now the only food source is down there.” Mangelsen and Jackson real estate agent Tim Mayo again called for the park to end the elk reduction program. They say that the hunt, authorized by Congress, is allowed but not mandatory and that superintendent Scott has the authority to institute closures. “At this point, the superintendent should unequivocally close the river bottom to the hunt,” Mayo said Friday. “It’s not safe.” The park closed an area around the incident. Officials are “certainly having internal conversations” about a larger closure area, park spokeswoman Jenny Anzelmo-Sarles said. Such a closure wouldn’t be typical, she said. All park hunt areas are slated to close Sunday. Public support for ending the hunt also has materialized. A Change.org

While the recent grizzly shooting in Grand Teton National Park has garnered an unusual amount of attention, bear biologists don’t consider it significant on a landscape level. Even with 51 known deaths in 2012, the estimated population of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem increased slightly in the past year, from 593 to 608. Hunting plays a large role in mortality. In September and October, six “known, human-caused, under investigation” grizzly deaths that are likely associated with hunting were recorded in Wyoming alone. Federal investigators aren’t yet releasing details on the incidents, said Mark Bruscino, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s large carnivore section supervisor. “Human-caused grizzly bear mortalities associated with hunting happen every year in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem,” Bruscino said. “Those usually result from close encounters or carcass guarding.” Statistically, in Grand Teton, automobiles are much more deadly for the iconic bruins than are hunters. “To put this in context, we’ve had seven grizzlies killed by vehicles on park roads since 2001,” park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs said. “There’s been two this year.” When looking at an isolated incident such as the Thanksgiving Day shooting, Bruscino said that people should be mindful of how “incredibly successful” grizzly bear recovery has been in the ecosystem. The population of grizzlies plunged below 100 in the 1970s, but now is more robust and stable. “The important thing that people keep sight of is that they’re not dying at a rate that’s unsustainable,” Bruscino said.

Grand Teton National Park Ranger Ira Blitzblau chats with a hunter at Teton Point Overlook on Thanksgiving after closing the area behind for an investigation into the shooting of a grizzly bear by other hunters that day. Outfitters later used horses to drag a covered carcass to the Schwabachers Landing parking area.

petition started by Jackson resident Aaron Feurstein had garnered 242 signatures by Tuesday afternoon. The wave of publicity shines light on Aland’s earlier request to end the hunt. In July, the Illinois attorney who has litigated for grizzly bear protection in the West, asked Scott and Talbott to cease the hunt immediately. Among his complaints are that the park and Game and Fish violated the law by missing the deadline for approving the annual hunt this year and have not ensured that hunters are properly qualified. The 725 hunters who won licenses through a drawing are deputized as park rangers but have not been proved “qualified and experienced as required by public law,” Aland said in his letter to Scott and Talbott. Hunters in Grand Teton are required to pass a hunter safety course and carry bear spray. “The annual [elk reduction program] is an anachronistic relic of a

bygone era in Wyoming,” Aland wrote. He also contends the hunt puts the public and wildlife in “serious and present danger” and incurs taxpayers excessive costs. Mangelsen said Grand Teton should abandon the provision in its 1950 enabling legislation that allows a hunt. “It’s no longer 1950,” Mangelsen said at Schwabacher Landing on Monday. “There are more people in the park. The time has come.” “To act like this is somewhat of a surprise is disingenuous,” the photographer said. “To think that you should close a quarter-square-mile chunk and call it good is absolutely irresponsible.” On Monday, the discarded remnants of shot elk were scattered in surrounding sage nearby. For Mangelsen, standing over two frozen cow elk heads, the scene was a tragedy. “It’s laziness,” he said. “It’s disrespectful to the animals. This is the crown jewel of the national parks. People don’t come here to see that.”

Week in Review Electrical fault blamed in fire

Missing plane found

Firefighters quickly doused a fire at the Signal Mountain Lodge convenience store last week, but not before the building sustained serious damage. The fire reported around 8 a.m. Nov. 20 penetrated the store’s roof, and the building will require “significant repairs” before next summer, Grand Teton National Park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs said. The convenience store closed for the season. An investigation is under way to determine the cause of the blaze, but it’s suspected that an electrical short is to blame. Skaggs said fire crews prevented what could have been a much worse incident.

A downed single-engine plane was found Saturday morning after searchers spent a week battling harsh weather and terrain to locate it. The pilot, 63-year-old Myles McGinnis, of LaBarge, did not survive the crash, according to a Sublette County Sheriff’s Office release. The Cessna 182 was en route to Pinedale from Stevensville, Mont. Late in the afternoon of Nov. 17, Civil Air Patrol reported McGinnis and his plane overdue and out of contact. The crash site was 1.6 miles from the last radar contact with the plane, near the Lincoln -Sublette county line in the Upper Hoback area of the Wyoming Range. The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration will investigate.

Schools seek involvement

School district officials want opinions from parents and others about how to improve school involvement. The district is paying Jackson consultant Susan Eriksen-Meier about $12,000 to create a website for the project, coordinate public comments and make recommendations. She will gather public comment 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the Teton County commissioners’ chambers and 4 to 5 p.m. Dec. 10 at the Old Wilson Schoolhouse Community Center. Comments will also be taken online at SchoolInvolvement.org through Jan. 15, after which EriksenMeier will make recommendations.

Board wants October boost

If you have an idea for an event with a conservation theme, the Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism board wants to hear from you. The board is accepting proposals through Dec. 14 and hopes to hire someone by January to build a new October event over the next three years. Earlier this month, the board set aside $50,000 for the job and $50,000 in seed money. Board members said the event could require as much as $150,000 in 2014. Board members want to focus on October because it’s the “one true remaining opportunity in terms of reasonable weather to extend Jackson Hole’s tourism season,” the report says.

One Jackson wolf left in hunt

A lone wolf is on the run near Targhee, the last that will be killed in the Jackson Hole area before the end of Wyoming’s first wolf hunt. Three other hunt areas near Jackson have already closed as their quotas were reached. In the final area — unit 7, near

Targhee and along the Wyoming-Idaho border, only one wolf can be killed. So far, no one has had any luck. If no wolf is killed there by Dec. 31, the season ends and the wolves win — until next year.

Green light for Walgreens

A Walgreens proposed for Jackson’s main street won approval from the town Planning Commission Nov. 21. The 13,000-square-foot Walgreens proposed at the northwest corner of West Broadway and Budge Drive would be one story and would be accompanied by a three-unit employee housing building. The national chain would include a pharmacy and health clinic, provide photo printing services and sell many nonpharmaceutical products. After raising some concerns about how the project fit with the new comprehensive land-use plan, commissioners unanimously voted to recommend its final development plan and a setback variance. It next faces the Jackson Town Council for final approval. In October, the Jackson Design Review Board calling the building out of character with town, and letter writers blasted it as corporate blandness.

Council OKs slacklines

The Jackson Town Council agreed last week to allow slacklining in some town parks. The sport had been banned based on

a century-old law prohibiting the hitching of horses to trees. Convinced that horses — and slacklining — are no longer threats, the council allowed slackliners in Rangeview, Mike Yokel, Garaman, Powderhorn and Phil Baux parks. The activity involves walking a strand of nylon webbing spanning two anchors. Not all councilors were convinced. Bob Lenz said judging the appropriate location and general safety of a slackline setup will be difficult, he said.

Feds want wolf suit back in Wyo.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is attempting to transfer a wolf lawsuit to a Wyoming court. Filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., the suit seeks to pull wolf management out of state hands and reestablish Endangered Species Act protection for the predators. Earthjustice managing attorney Tim Preso said Monday his group will file a brief opposing the transfer within the week, though he declined to comment on the implications if the request was granted. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Nov. 20 motion to transfer argues that three “public interest” factors “firmly support” the transfer: the Wyoming district’s familiarity with the issue, the “relative congestion of the court calendar” and local interests. State officials including Gov. Matt Mead support the change

Rescues could be billed

Finding yourself in trouble in the backcountry could be expensive if the Legislature approves a proposed law. Rep. Keith Gingery, R-Jackson, is working on a bill that would allow law enforcement officials to charge backcountry users if they land in trouble and need to be rescued. Suzie Kirvinskee, the office manager of the Teton County Sheriff’s Office and a member of the Wyoming Search and Rescue Council — which reviews claims submitted by search and rescue teams across the state and reimburses counties for costs — said the bill will alleviate budget worries and create some accountability.

Gas prices drop

Gas prices in Jackson have fallen, but they’ll have to fall a lot farther to go as low as prices elsewhere in Wyoming. A drive along Broadway showed the lowest price in town Monday afternoon was $3.53 a gallon for regular unleaded, available at Phillips 66, Shell, Smith’s and Shervin’s Sinclair. Gas cost $3.65 at Exxon and Maverik. All the stations selling at $3.53 had dropped their prices at least 12 cents since the day before; at Shervin’s, it was down 17 cents. Retail prices in the state had fallen 5.4 cents a gallon in the previous week, hitting $3.41 a gallon statewide, according to GasBuddy.com, an Internet site that tracks fuel prices. In Casper, Evansville and Mills, gas was selling yesterday for $3.02 a gallon, and in Laramie for $3.07.

Blotter n Alarms work: A masked thief had to break glass and dash Sunday when his forced entry triggered the burglar alarm in a west Jackson grocery store. Police arrived at the store after the alarm system alerted them and found the glass of a side door broken and a muddy footprint on the otherwise clean floor. A bottle of liquor was smashed near the front counter, and a prescription bottle was spilled in one aisle, but whoever broke in was gone. Store owners said nothing obvious was missing. A review of the store’s security camera showed a man in a face mask and white gloves breaking the door and going into the store’s pharmacy. He appeared to be looking for something specific on the shelves, but cut his search short when he heard the alarm going off. Police are investigating. n Huff and puff: A 34-year-old Jackson man found out Nov. 20 that getting a DUI doesn’t always mean you’re drunk. Deputies contacted the man after getting calls that he was passed out in his car in the middle of a busy intersection. When the deputies arrived, a citizen had managed to wake the man up, and deputies followed him into the parking lot of a west Jackson gas station. The man’s eyes were glazed and glassy, but there was no alcohol smell. Deputies noticed several aerosol cans in the car and suspected the man used them to get high. He failed field sobriety tests and admitted to huffing the cans about 15 minutes earlier. Deputies cited him for driving under the influence and using inhalants. n Seat taken: An unknown suspect decided to have a seat on his own terms Thursday night. Police responded to a west Jackson hotel when a man staying there reported

his folding chair stolen. The man said he left a “fishing style” folding cloth chair outside his room overnight. In the morning, it was not there. Police have no suspects. The chair was worth about $20. n Jewelry heist: A Teton County woman believes workers remodeling her home last year took a $7,500 tip without her permission. The woman reported Nov. 19 that five pieces of jewelry were stolen, including one that was especially old and valuable. The jewelry isn’t used often, so it could easily have been taken last year. The woman and her husband told deputies that, based on the circumstances, they believe that only one of the workers could have taken it. Deputies are currently working to recover the jewelry. n War on windshields: Two car rear windows met untimely ends the night of Nov. 19 in the same neighborhood. Police received the first report saying someone smashed in the rear window of a parked car. When officers arrived, there was glass behind and inside the car, but no evidence of what might have broken the window. Neither the owners nor their neighbors heard or saw what happened. There was no other damage to the car and nothing was missing from it. The same day, police received the second report. This time the window showed a shatter pattern all over it, but only one corner was missing its glass. Police believe something with a small point broke that windshield. Once again, no one heard or saw anything, and nothing was missing from inside. The Jackson Police Department and Teton County Sheriff ’s Office received 767 calls for service between Nov. 19 and Nov. 25.

Master Distiller Steve Nally and Danny Gandy prepare to drain one of the first barrels of Wyoming Whiskey earlier this month in Kirby.

Roll out the

barrel Six years in the making, Wyoming Whiskey will be served Saturday. Text and photographs by Angus M. Thuermer Jr.

IRBY — With all the care in the world, distiller Steve Nally rolls a 53-gallon white oak cask out of the Wyoming Whiskey warehouse. It’s been in a rack for more than three years, the whiskey inside absorbing flavors from the charred interior of the barrel. With a helper on this November day, Nally pushes his elixir up onto another rack above a stainless steel vat. The two position it so they can roll the bunghole over to drain the whiskey with nary a stray drop. Nally taps out the bung with a hammer and spike, perhaps the fastest he’s had to move in the measured development of this batch. Finally, he rolls the barrel over and watches Wyoming Whiskey glug, glug, glug

into the vat beneath. Such is the pace and care the master distiller devotes to his product. Famous for his patience and lifelong Kentucky bourbon-making career with Maker’s Mark, Nally has absorbed from his surroundings all the nuances that make good whiskey. A member of the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame, at 62, he’s matured like the spirits he makes. Saturday, his new all-Wyoming product will be ready, too. ––––––––––––– Nally was one of the key ingredients Jackson Hole residents Kate and Brad Mead and David DeFazio needed when they set out in 2006 to create a bourbon distillery. The Meads had bought a ranch in Kirby,

Jackson Hole High School senior Harrison Shipp heats up and manipulates a small amount of magnetic liquid, called ferrofluid, as part of an experiment in partnership with NASA to help find ways to create mechanical parts in zero gravity.

Students become rocket scientists Jackson Hole High School kids work with NASA to create space experiments By Brielle Schaeffer

ith a little imagination and a healthy respect for the scientific method, Jackson Hole High School students are experimenting with an engineering project that could be used in space. Students in Gary Duquette’s engineering, design and development class are working with NASA HUNCH (High school students United with NASA to Create Hardware) to design an experiment with magnetic fluids that could help astronauts mold replacement mechanical parts in zero gravity. “It’s a form of 3-D printing,” senior Harrison Shipp said. “We want to be able to melt the wax and then move it around with a magnet.” Shipp was warming up a magnetic liquid — or ferrofluid — of wax and iron particles with mica heating strips on an aluminum plate, then using a washer on the other side of the plate to form a doughnut shape. Once off the heat, the shape hardened. “I just melted this in less than a minute,” Shipp said. The students will travel to Houston in April to perform their experiment in zero gravity on the aircraft known as the “vomit comet.” “The plane basically goes up really high, then it just dives down at 45 degrees for 20 seconds and simulates zero gravity,” Shipp said. The class has control of the topic, the design and the experiment. “As long as it is safe to fly on the zero-g plane, then the students can create it,” Duquette said. His engineering students began working with NASA outside the classroom last year after he received an email about the program. “HUNCH started in Houston with NASA partnering with local high

Senior Nick Pampe’s notebook contains pages of sketches, photographs and notes with variations of designs that eventually became prototypes used by students to manipulate magnetic liquid in zero gravity.

schools,” Duquette said. “They had so much success involving the students in Houston with creating hardware and experiments for NASA that they decided to expand the program.” His class works with an advisor from NASA who lives part time in Montana. “This program sounded like the perfect opportunity to continue the enrichment of the engineering experience for our students,” Duquette said. The kids had to take zero gravity and safety into consideration for all aspects of their experiment. “They’re kind of iffy about open flames on the plane,” Shipp said. And everything has to be clipped down to something or it will float away, he said. Considering the environment was a big part of their idea, senior Anna Sullivan said. “You can’t really do any molding in zero gravity because there’s no gravity to help mold the parts,” she said about the experiment. “This way, you’ll be able to shape the parts with a magnet.” It’s possible to use magnetic fields

to make exact shapes, but the calculations for that are complicated, Sullivan said. “We’re not doing that yet,” she said. Emphasis on the word “yet.” Nothing seems out of reach for these future rocket scientists. “If we can prove it’s possible to shape a part using the ferrofluid that we make in zero gravity, then the NASA scientists can take it further than we can,” Sullivan said. Shipp, Sullivan and three other seniors in the class visited NASA in the spring as an introduction to the HUNCH program and to begin thinking about their own experiment. The students looked for things that looked cool in zero gravity, and that’s how they found the ferrofluids, senior Brad Riotto said. “We went through a brainstorming process and figured out there are a ton of applications for it,” he said. The students are now prototyping everything separately and then bringing it all together to make the final experiment, Shipp said. Sullivan is working on how to cre-

ate the perfect ferrofluid. In her experiments she found that the iron particles weren’t mixing completely with the paraffin wax and that she needed to add a surfactant, like oleic acid. “We’re going to use different materials other than wax,” she said. “We’re looking to find plastic and metal with low melting points.” Nick Pampe tested slides to find the best surface to create the parts. “I’m trying to come up with the perfect slide that melts the material the quickest and cools off the quickest,” the senior said. Originally, “we thought we’d do plastic so we could see what’s going on. We realized it’s not heating up very fast. We don’t have very long on the flights. We figured out what we need to do to make it quicker.” A combination of Lexan plastic and aluminum was the best, he said. The whole process is continuously changing, Pampe said. “It’s something that I’m not used to but I love going through because I know I’ll have to go through [it] the rest of my life,” he said. “I’ll probably get involved in some job like this.” Senior Kinsley Smith is also working on the experiment for the class. Although five students are working with NASA HUNCH as their engineering capstone, some juniors are already beginning work outside class on their project for next year, Duquette said. In all, about 20 Jackson Hole High School students are committed to working with NASA, he said. “We have signed a Space Act agreement with NASA, basically meaning that JHHS is a subcontractor for NASA,” Duquette said. “If the NASA funding for the program remains constant, then we have an opportunity to create an experiment every year to fly on the zero-g plane, hoping it is selected to go to the International Space Station.” The students must have all testing procedures written out by January for the flight April 6. “It’s an awesome once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Riotto said. “It’s amazing I get to do it. I’m really lucky.”

how delicious it tasted the day the lives of my family and I were spared the weekend after Thanksgiving. I told them that quick breads are good to keep in freezers for emergencies. I gave them a brief history of quick breads, beginning 150 years ago with the development of commercial baking powder and baking soda. “In the old days in Scandinavian countries determined bakers would process deer antlers into a form of ammonium carbonate called hartshorn, which was used for making extremely crisp cookies and crackers,” I rattled on, the way I usually do. Surprisingly, the girls came back for more visits. We have kept in touch, bumping into one another unexpectedly on the bike path or getting together for an occasional lunch. Recently one of the girls returned home to North Carolina and decided to take up the old-fashioned custom of letter writing. “Dear Doreen,” my young friend wrote. “I am home now after a long road trip through Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee.” Life means change. Good things happen and terrible, unthinkable things occur when we least expect it. But goodness happens, too. As Adlai Stevenson said, “We travel together, passengers on a little spaceship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil, all committed for our safety, to its security and peace. Preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work and the love we give our fragile craft.” We open doors; we let life in and love. For that, I am very thankful. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Doreen Tome will write in this space every two weeks.

What’s a WUE?

WUE (pronounced “woo-wee”) is the Western Undergraduate Exchange, and it is coordinated by WICHE (Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education). WICHE is a regional, nonprofit organization which includes 15 member states. If you are a resident of one of WICHE’s 15 member states, then you are eligible for consideration for reduced tuition rate offered at the 145+ participating WUE institutions. WUE is the largest program of its kind in the nation, and has been in operation since 1987. WUE is not a short term exchange—it is meant to be used for a full degree. To be considered for the WUE rate (150% of resident tuition), you should apply directly to the WUE institution of your choice. Schools can set up their own parameters; hence requirements will vary, so you must check with each institution to see how their WUE scholarships are administered.

Fidroeff has spent the past two years pushing forward to turn the mission into everything he thinks it should be. He said he would love to work as a prison chaplain for the Teton County Jail and maybe even open a shelter for women and children to “show women who are losing their kids to live clean and sober and be good moms.” But he said he realizes there is a lot to be thankful for right now. On Friday, the mission hosted 40 people for a Thanksgiving feast to celebrate the achievements of the past year.

“Every day I tell myself if I can see just one more life changed, I can die happy.” – Chuck Fidroeff Good Samaritan mission

Recent grants paid for two walkin freezers to replace the 10 smaller ones that were driving up the organization’s electric bills and also covered the cost of replacing a portion of the mission’s aging roof. New relationships with stores like Albertsons reduced the monthly budget for food from $2,000 to $600. Donations from Old Bill’s Fun Run totaled $82,000, and Fidroeff hopes marketing and awareness efforts will drive that sum even higher in coming years. On a personal level, Fidroeff has two new grandchildren he will meet when he and his wife, Carol, visit their six children in May. “I have a wonderful life and so much to be grateful for,” he said. “To see a life changed, that’s my work and it’s my hobby. That’s what I live for. Every day I tell myself if I can see just one more life changed, I can die happy.”

Snurfing was reported as the latest trend in winter fun. The sport — named by combining “snow” and “surfing” — involved riding a 4-footlong, 7-inch-wide board without bindings.

Pinedale’s J-Diamond Land and Livestock Co. ranch sold for $435,000 to a Chicago couple. The property included 2,834 acres of land plus 1,440 acres of grazing leases on federal land. The sale also encompassed 700 Angus cows, 18 registered bulls, ranch equipment and 700 tons of hay. ... Wyoming’s district director of internal revenue, R.L. Hutt, reminded citizens and business owners that wagering pools on sports events were taxable under federal law if operated for a profit. The expectation of a profit in the form of increased sales, attendance or other indirect benefits was also taxable, he said. Ten percent of the gross amount of the pool was subject to the revenue service, as was $50 in the form of an annual occupation tax from each person selling chances in the pool. ...

The test is so sensitive that often no other invasive testing is necessary. Only if the ultrasound findings are different from the test results are women recommended for the CVS or amniocentesis. Because this test has been studied only in women at high risk for a chromosome abnormality, it is not available to all pregnant women, as the other tests are. In fact, if the lab receives a specimen from a patient who is not at high risk, it will not even run the test. As with most medical tests, there are a few important things to remember. First, genetic screening and testing are optional. For a variety of reasons, many couples opt not to do these tests. Also, no screening test is perfect, and screening tests do not diagnose a problem. Further testing may be necessary. Some couples opt to have the more invasive diagnostic test and forego the preliminary screening. Discussions with your prenatal care provider will help you determine which route you think is best for you. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Dr. Maura Lofaro, who practices with Gros Ventre OB/GYN, is part of a team of doctors who write on women’s health for the News&Guide.

veloped for use in the first trimester, so this test is now offered to women who initiate prenatal care in the second trimester. Currently, the most effective screening available to all women consists of an ultrasound measurement of the thickness of the fetus’s neck, observation of calcification of the nasal bones in the fetus and testing for several blood chemicals found in the mother’s blood in the first and second trimesters. This testing can detect more than 90 percent of Down syndrome fetuses with a false-positive rate of less than 2 percent. If the first trimester screen is positive, patients now have the option of a diagnostic test called a chorionic villus sampling, basically a biopsy of the placenta early in pregnancy to look at the genetic makeup of the fetus. In the past year, an even more accurate testing method has become available. It is reserved for women older than 35 who have had an abnormal fetal ultrasound, have a history of chromosome abnormalities or have a positive serum screen. Three companies run these tests. The test offered in our practices is called MaterniT21 and has been available to OB/GYN offices only in the past few months. A woman has her blood drawn at 10 weeks of pregnancy or beyond. In this blood sample, pieces of fetal genetic material (DNA and RNA) are circulating, likely from degenerated placental

Valley Breeze Hospice to remember loved ones

St. John’s Hospice invites the public to its memorial event, Light Up a Life 2012, at 7 p.m. Dec. 5 in the St. John’s Medical Center lobby. The lighting ceremony will remember and celebrate loved ones. Names from the Book of Honor will be read, accompanied by the music of Mike Calabrese. A $10 donation inscribes a loved one’s name in the book. All gifts are tax deductible and will benefit St. John’s Hospice programs. Donations can be mailed to St. John’s Hospice, P.O. Box 428, Jackson, WY 83001. Call 739-7467 for information.

Menorah to light up Capitol

At noon Dec. 11, Chabad Jewish Center of Wyoming will host the lighting of a 10-foot menorah erected at the state Capitol building. The celebration will include Hanukkah songs by the children’s choir from St. Mary’s Catholic School of Cheyenne, lighting of the menorah by Holocaust survivor siblings Zolly Gancz and Hellen Zigmond and greetings from community leaders and elected officials. Following the ceremony, many will dance, sing and eat potato latkes, jelly doughnuts and other Hanukkah treats. The lighting was organized by Chabad Rabbi Zalman Mendelsohn, executive director of the Chabad Jewish Center of Wyoming, which is based in Jackson but serves people across the state, “The menorah serves as a symbol of Wyoming’s dedication to preserve and encourage the right

and liberty of all its citizens to worship God freely, openly and with pride,” Mendelsohn said. “Specifically in America, a nation that was founded upon and vigorously protects the right of every person to practice his or her religion free from restraint and persecution, the menorah takes on profound significance, embodying both religious and constitutional principles.” The Capitol menorah is one of thousands of large public menorahs sponsored by Chabad throughout the world, helping children and adults of all walks of life discover and enjoy the holiday message. For information about Hanukkah and a schedule of events, visit JewishWyoming.com/Chanukah.

Cuba building supplies needed

The Rev. Ken Asel and 11 members of St. John’s Episcopal Church will travel to Cuba on Dec. 5 on the first of several mission trips. The group will be working in the town of Favorito, helping to transform a small house into a chapel. The group needs eight light switches (single or double), 12 electrical outlets, four water faucets, PVC connections, simple light fixtures, cork boards and white boards. Also needed for the trip are crayons, colored pencils, notebooks, markers, CDs, puzzles, children’s scissors, glue sticks, colored paper, prayer books, kitchen utensils, kitchen towels, sewing kits and knitting kits. Donations can be dropped off through Monday with Margaret Hutton at the church. Each traveler is allowed to carry only 44 pounds, so the lighter the items are, the better.

CWC classes enrolling now Classes in nursing, photography, general education and more are being offered by Central Wyoming College in the spring semester. Classes begin the week of Jan. 14. The schedule can be accessed online at CWC.edu/academics/browsecourses. Printed schedules were delivered to valley post office boxes earlier this month.

Pinedale sage grouse group to meet The Upper Green River Basin Local Sage Grouse Working Group will hold its next meeting at 9 a.m. Tuesday at Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Pinedale regional office.

FILE PHOTO

On Tuesday, the Upper Green River Basin Local Sage Grouse Working Group will meet in Pinedale.

The working group was formed in 2004 as part of a statewide Game and Fish initiative. Its purpose is to “design projects that benefit sage grouse and other sagebrush obligate species and to implement on-the-ground habitat- and population-related projects for the species.” Sage grouse are a candidate species for Endangered Species Act protection. The focus of the meeting will be to discuss updates to the working group’s sage grouse conservation plan. The meeting is open to the public. Contact Pete Guernsey at 307-367-3943 for additional information. Information on sage grouse, the regional working groups and their management plans can be found at WGFD.Wyo.gov/web2011/wildlife-1000382.aspx.

Game and Fish opens discussion on deer Wyoming Game and Fish Department officials will be presenting a new Wyoming Range mule deer management plan at communities through the region over the next three weeks. At the meetings local Game and Fish personnel will be recapping the 2012 hunting seasons, revisiting the Wyoming Range Mule Deer Initiative, and discussing ongoing work for Wyoming Range deer.

The community meetings will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the following locations: Dec. 10, Marbleton Town Hall; Dec. 11, Thayne Community Center (old elementary school); Dec. 12, Green River, Wyoming Game & Fish Regional Office; Dec. 13, South Lincoln Training and Event Center in Kemmerer. The plan was designed to be a working document that could be amended if priorities should change or new opportunities arise to benefit the mule deer herd. For details, visit WGFD.Wyo.gov/web2011/wildlife-1000398.aspx.

BLM wildlife meeting is Feb. 21 The Bureau of Land Management will hold its annual wildlife planning meeting on Feb. 21.

JACKSON HOLE NEWS&GUIDE, Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - 9B

Hear them ring at retailers each weekend Volunteers shake bells for annual Salvation Army fundraiser.

An army of volunteers These organizations and businesses have already committed to ringing bells for the Salvation Army, said Tom Holland, volunteer coordinator:

By Jennifer Dorsey The Town Square arches are aglow, ski resorts are open and holiday music is playing on the radio. And in one more sign that the Christmas season is here, volunteers are standing by little red kettles outside a handful of stores two days a week, ringing handbells to encourage shoppers to donate to the Salvation Army and help needy people in the greater Jackson Hole area. “It’s fun,” said Catherine Holland, who was stationed outside Jackson Whole Grocer early Friday afternoon. “You feel like you’re doing your part.” The annual bell-ringing brigade is made up entirely of volunteers, and every coin and dollar bill that goes into the kettles stays in the community. Money is used for lifesaving prescription medication, for example, or dental work for folks who can’t afford it. Some residents might get help with utility bills so they don’t have to go without heat. Or an out-of-towner who emptied his wallet to come to Jackson Hole to get a job might get help with transportation out of the valley to a place with better employment possibilities. The local Salvation Army has no office, just a post office box, and it raises funds only through the Christmastime kettles and Old Bill’s Fun Run, never through mailings. Last year, bell ringers (plus retail counter kettles and mailed checks) brought in $21,000, said Smokey Rhea, a member of the local Salvation Army board and executive director of the Community Resource Center.

BRADLY J. BONER / NEWS&GUIDE

Jackson Hole High School seniors Danielle Nickles and Nina Berlin execute a few dance moves to stay warm Saturday while volunteering as Salvation Army bell ringers outside Albertsons.

“It’s by far our biggest fundraiser of the year,” she said. While the Salvation Army board decides on expenditures, the resource center and Good Samaritan Mission act as the intake agencies, helping people find assistance. Since 2008, every penny of kettle contributions has been spent each year, a sign that, while the Great Recession is over, many people are still struggling. This year, bell ringers will be posted outside Kmart, Jackson Whole Grocer, Smith’s and Albertsons from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Dec. 22. Although Rotary Club members and other individuals, along with a number of businesses, have signed up to fill slots, additional volunteers are still needed, said Tom Holland, who is coor-

dinating the project. “If you want to help, we will find you a place,” said Holland, who can be reached at tholland@tvcamp.org. Catherine Holland, his wife, was one of his recruits for the first weekend, a tough one to staff given the Thanksgiving holiday. Among the other early volunteers were members of the Watson family, who stationed themselves in front of Kmart on Saturday morning. The group included Rhonda Watson and her daughter Taylor, a University of Wyoming sophomore home for Thanksgiving; Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Woods, also a UW sophomore; and her roommate, freshman Nicki Nguyen, of Vietnam. Rhonda Watson’s husband, Dave — a Boy Scout leader — had also come out with

The group went beyond jingling bells to attract attention and contributions. “We’ve been singing, making eye contact, saying ‘Happy Thanksgiving,’” Rhonda Watson said. The family would have pitched in on the Salvation Army fundraiser in any case, but with Nguyen in town it became part of an effort to show her what Jackson Hole is like. The Watsons also took her to the Town Square Lighting and shopping for the Santa Fund, which buys Christmas presents for needy kids. “I see that it’s a small town with a lot of community service,” Nguyen said. “I really like it.”

Kelly Hammond and Bruce Bollinger cooked hundreds of quarter-pound burgers at MacPhail’s on Thanksgiving. Generous Jackson donors helped the restaurant provide a free meal to whomever came through the door.

Thankful for burgers MacPhail’s feeds 200 people a nontraditional Thanksgiving meal. By Lindsay Wood

very wooden table was crowded with people. The smell of fresh pickles and onions permeated the air, and the pop and sizzle of french fry grease whispered in the kitchen. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, about 200 hungry, homeless or lonely people filed into MacPhail’s Burgers for a free Thanksgiving burger feast. Some had forlorn, gruff faces and kept to themselves. Others talked jubilantly as if that Thanksgiving was the first they’d experienced in years. Mothers and shiny-faced children smacked on quarter-pound cheeseburgers with all the trimmings and sucked down soda with record speed. The swarm of people MacPhail’s was able to feed and the 15 volunteers who helped serve and clean up was something owner Bruce Bollinger was thankful for, he said. Will Gilliam, who has been in Jackson for six months, said he was just happy for the meal, his sleeping bag and gas in the car he has been sleeping in while looking for work. Gilliam, casting his grayish eyes down at the table, said he struggles with dyslexia, making it hard for him to multitask and keep a job. Relocating to Jackson has been daunting for Gilliam, but he says he tries not to think about the tough times and just moves forward. “You don’t go hungry here,” he said about MacPhail’s and the Good Samaritan Mission. Good will and charitable businesses are not lacking in Jackson. All of the food for MacPhail’s nontraditional Thanksgiving lunch was donated by its suppliers, Bollinger said. All the servers, cooks and bussers gave their time and holiday to work for others. With the recent closing of

Forgoing a cheeseburger, Liam McPeak heads straight for an ice cream desert on a stick as Taylor Bollinger checks in with him and grandfather Bill McPeak.

Teton Steakhouse, many of the volunteers who participated in that restaurant’s free Thanksgiving meal signed up to help at MacPhail’s. “It was a nice team effort to serve a hot meal on a day that people should be together,” Bollinger said. TR Pierce, a senior vice president at Bank of Jackson Hole and longtime friend of the Bollinger family, spent his day greeting and handing out burgers. Forgoing any other plans, Pierce said helping out at the restaurant was the only thing he planned for turkey day because it was “a great thing they’re doing for the community.” Bank of Jackson Hole’s vice president of commercial lending, Dan Buchan, also spent his day as a host, handing out the one-page menus to people and seating them. For other volunteers, like Cathy O’Shea, it was a way to give back and

be around others on the holiday. “My children spent the day with their father,” she said. “So I decided to do something for the community.” Good Samaritan Mission board member Dale Moyer and his wife, Doris, sat enjoying the sunlight coming through the window at their table while waiting on a burger. “We’re amazed sitting here and seeing the diversity of God’s creation,” Dale Moyer said. “Each individual is special and unique. It’s wonderful of MacPhail’s to allow people to come in and have free food. I see people here that I know that really, truly do need it.” Despite Bollinger’s protests, $250 in tips was donated to MacPhail’s from people “who wouldn’t take no for an answer.” He plans to give the money to the Rotary Club of Jackson Hole.

After retiring from a career as master distiller at Maker’s Mark, Steve Nally agreed to sign on with the fledgling Wyoming Whiskey venture.

Steve Stryack stirs a batch of mash at the Wyoming Whiskey distillery. The concoction of boiled corn, wheat, malted barley, yeast and water sits for three or four days before being distilled.

BARREL

Continued from cover

Stryack, who grew up on a nearby ranch, keeps careful notes as he boils and ferments the mash that’s the foundation for the bourbon.

Former Gov. Dave Freudenthal’s signature adorns this barrel of Wyoming Whiskey, which is destined to become a table at the distillery.

birthdays, “We traded back and forth,” DeFazio said. Kate Mead had done considerable research about winemaking before that idea was abandoned as impractical in central Wyoming. But in Big Horn County, all the ingredients for bourbon — corn, wheat, barley — grew nearby. Brad Mead dug in. “I think he felt ‘I have to do at least as much research as she’s done,’ ” Kate Mead said of her husband. One day the couple invited DeFazio to the office and told him about their idea. “How the hell do you make bourbon?” he asked. “That’s for you to figure out,” they said. And so, he and Brad Mead did, jetting off to bourbon festivals in Kentucky, researching the nuances of production. “I thought it was just a boondoggle,” Kate Mead said of the first trip to the Bluegrass State. But one day Brad Mead returned to Jackson Hole with a simple proclamation. “I’ve bought a still.” ––––––––––––– To make whiskey, you need a still, a distiller, corn, wheat and barley, plus a source of good water. After ordering the still, the team found Nally, who had retired from Maker’s Mark and was entertaining new offers. The toughest interview might have been with Nally’s wife, Donna, who now is director of tourism and public relations for Wyoming Whiskey. During the first call to the family, Donna Nally quizzed the upstarts for more than a half an hour before agreeing to pass on the message. Steve Nally grew to like the plan for Wyoming Whiskey and the area and set out to help design the distillery and assemble the ingredients. Of all the places to make whiskey, Kirby might be one of the most unlikely. Tucked into a corner of the Big Horn Basin, it’s surrounded by hills and mountains tortured by eons of uplift and erosion. Dinosaur bones spill out of the exotic geologic formations, hot water spurts from the ground. The good folk of the valley ranch and farm,

many relying on runoff that drains from the Continental Divide just east of Jackson Hole. While that flow might be pure as the wind-driven snow, the aquifer near Thermopolis is not. A mineral cone in the center of town is a landmark. It built up over the years from a flow of mineral water that slowly deposited its cargo into a mountainous pile. Nearby, famous mineral hot springs draw visitors on the road to Yellowstone National Park. Such minerals are the bane of the distiller. “I had no idea,” DeFazio said about the importance of the water. The emphasis on purity, “I thought it was just a bunch of crap.” The group thought of trucking water from Spring Gulch in Jackson Hole, the Mead family home where spring creeks burble from the ground in pristine rivulets. But Big Horn geology is blessed beyond fossilized dinosaurs — it has limestone. Limestone filters iron. “Iron turns whiskey black and does other DeFazio nasty stuff to it,” DeFazio said. Nally was on the hunt. “If I couldn’t have found water, this probably wouldn’t have came about,” he said. Forty miles north of Kirby he found a source, a deep, natural well that produced the perfect flow. It was, DeFazio said, “the most serendipitous moment” of the undertaking. “This is the best water used in any distillery,” he proclaimed. ––––––––––––– Wyoming Whiskey got off to a shaky start. The three partners priced all the pieces necessary for a distillery — bins, vats, cookers, condensers, mills, building, warehouses and a bottling plant. There was one item they forgot to include, DeFazio said. “We didn’t figure in the cost of the plumbing to put all the parts together,” he said. The group was able to survive the oversight and broke ground on the ranch where a roping arena used to stand. It was going to bring a change to Kirby, where the only landmarks were the burger joint Butch’s Place and a railroad crossing.

“This is kind of like what I think Kentucky was 100 years ago,” Nally said of his new home. The 92 residents, “They’re just genuine.” Then the contractor working on the distillery had to be sacked and replaced. Meantime, Nally located a farmer to grow corn that matures in 92 days, a variety necessary for the altitude and latitude in the Big Horn Basin. Wheat comes from another nearby farm and the barley from Riverton. Nally found a new malting plant being built in Montana and arranged to have the barley malted there. The process starts germination, then kills it with heat. Wyoming barley destined for the whiskey is trucked to Montana, malted and returned, all the while sequestered from other barleys to ensure the all-Wyoming product remains pure. Nally fetched the water, 6,000 gallons at a time, twice a week. Each load cost about $12. A pipe Brad Mead has since been extended to the distillery. By 2009, the plant was ready. On July 4 that year, Nalley opened the cock to the still and began making the first batch. The undertaking combined 144 years of Mead family history in Wyoming and 220 years of whiskey tradition from Kentucky into the first legal distillery in the Equality State. The mission: “To produce Wyoming’s first Kate Mead premium whiskey, using regional ingredients, through a select process that promotes Wyoming’s natural and human resources.” ––––––––––––– Today, the distillery hums with activity. Fifty-seven bushels of the grains, milled daily, are boiled in a giant mash tub. Nally concocted the perfect formula. Since starting, he’s adjusted the mix of ingredients no more than 5 percent. Boiled mash is pumped into 2,500-gal-

lon fermenting vats, where yeast is added. For three or four days, the yeast converts sugars to alcohol. Then the mash is pumped into the top of the still — 18 inches in diameter and 38 feet high, where it is twice distilled into what Brad Mead calls moonshine. It is then kegged to bourbon specifications in casks of white oak, used only once, their interiors charred. Legend has it the practice came from the county of Bourbon, once in Virginia, where a distiller was shipping his brew in barrels that had contained fish, Nally said. He charred the interior to sanitize them before shipping them down river. Ironically, Bourbon County, now in Kentucky, is a dry county these days. Wyoming Whiskey can make about 30 barrels a week. They’re rolled into the warehouse and stacked on the top of six racks, all carefully documented. As the years go by, each barrel will be moved down the racks to a cooler place. Inside the casks and behind the char, a red layer of caramelized sugar builds up. Heat during summer expands the whiskey, creates pressure and forces it into the wood. In winter the whiskey contracts and comes out of the wood, Nally said. “Each time it picks up color,” Nally said. “It also picks up flavor. It will start to pick up more and more of the wood’s character.” ––––––––––––– On his way to the hall of fame, Nally worked every job in the business. He started by wrangling yeast but eventually got into tasting. “When you get up in the morning, don’t eat a lot of eggs with pepper,” Nally said of one rule of whiskey tasting. He maintains constant vigil over the product in the warehouses, sampling to be sure it has matured, cataloging barrels so he can mix them together to make consistent bottles of Wyoming Whiskey. “You’ll nose the product first,” he said. “Your sense of smell evaluates flavors or aromas. “You take a slight sip on the front of the tongue,” he said. “To do it properly, you spit the product out.” To do otherwise would affect the next taste, Nally said: “It dulls the taste buds” to swallow a gulp.

Then “you take a deep breath in,” he said. “It lets some of the aroma in the back of the mouth.” He evaluates the finish. “What happens after you spit it out?” he asked. There should be a lingering taste that sits on the tongue and palate. Is it harsh on the tongue? “A good product will start to fade away after you spit it out,” he said. He offered a profile of Wyoming Whiskey: “The initial taste is of vanilla and caramels. You start to get a hint of oak, a bit of nutty, spicy flavor that’s coming into it. The finish

is really nice. We have that lingering vanilla, oaky [flavor] that kind of fades away. “The aroma is totally different from Maker’s Mark,” he said. “It’s sweeter, fruity. Maker’s Mark tends to have more of the wood, it doesn’t have nearly the caramels and vanilla that Wyoming Whiskey does.” ––––––––––––– Wyoming Whiskey will be broken out Saturday at a party in Kirby. The partners resisted the temptation to release early, opting to wait for their product to mature four seasons. “We really felt it would dilute our brand if we started to make moonshine,” Brad Mead said. “Honestly, I don’t think

anybody would drink it twice.” There also was the opportunity to buy excess whiskey from another plant, bottle it as Wyoming’s own and release some early. Before starting on the venture, DeFazio never knew how much swapping went on in the industry. “When you go and buy a bottle of Jim Beam, it isn’t all Jim Beam,” he said. “These distilleries trade whiskey — a lot of it is purchased whiskey. Everything we sell, we make,” he said. “There aren’t a lot of places that do that.” As they approached bottling time, the partners had to design their vessel. They wanted something that would fit the character of the Old West. “We were probably sitting at Butch’s

in Kirby when somebody said it would be nice to slide the bottle down the bar,” Brad Mead said. They added extra glass to the bottom, made the bottle beefy. As the whiskey matured, Brad Mead would wake up in the middle of the night in trepidation: “Why the heck did I start this,” he would ask himself. He will have his answer Saturday. Of his friends, “93 percent said I was crazy,” Mead said. “The people who encouraged me worked for me and felt they had to be polite.” Nally said the partners were key to making Wyoming Whiskey come out right. “Making bourbon is a very patient occupation,” he said. “It just takes a long time to go through that process. It has to or it doesn’t come out right.”

HOW TO DISTILL WYOMING WHISKEY 5

3 4 Corn

Barley

1. Water is piped from Manderson, where it comes from a deep well in the Madison formation. Limestone in the formation filters iron from the water. “Iron turns whiskey black and does other nasty stuff to it,” David DeFazio said.

2. Corn comes from the Big Horn Basin, wheat from nearby Kirby and barley from Riverton. Each is milled daily. The corn is a 92-day variety, chosen for the shorter growing season in the area. It must make up more than 50 percent of the grain used in whiskey to qualify as bourbon. The barley is malted in Montana, but kept separate from other barleys to preserve the all-Wyoming nature of the brand.

7. When the whiskey has matured — the first batch has been through four full seasons but not quite four years — Nally selects a batch of barrels to blend so the bourbon will have a uniform taste. The kegs are drained, the whiskey filtered and bottled.

Wheat

3. Cooking takes place in the mash tub according to Nally’s secret formula. Water and corn is cooked first for 25 minutes at 204 degrees. The concoction is cooled to 148 degrees and the specific amount of wheat is added. After more cooking, the vat is cooled to 138 degrees and malted barley, which converts starch to sugar, is added. It is cooled to 100 degrees, then pumped through cooling pipes and put into the fermenter vat at 85 degrees.

4. Yeast is added to the 2,500 gallons and the fermentation takes three to four days. Sugars are converted to alcohol in this process.

6. A week’s worth of the distilled whiskey, clear at this point, is reduced to 110 proof and kegged in 53-gallon white oak barrels, charred on the inside. Wyoming Whiskey can make about 30 barrels a week. The whiskey is stored in a warehouse, first at the top, then, as it matures, lower on the racks. In the summer, the whiskey soaks into the wood. In the winter, it contracts and seeps back out, adding flavor.

5. The 18-inch diameter copper still, at 38 feet tall, was the smallest continuous-flowing hand-operated still in the country when built. The fermented mash is pumped into the top and filters down across 23 perforated copper plates. Steam is injected in the bottom. About half to two thirds of the way down, the alcohol starts vaporizing. The gas is condensed, then distilled again to about 130 proof. KATHRYN HOLLOWAY / NEWS&GUIDE

Roberts, 73, cooked at Trail Creek King, 81, Former Jackson Hole resident Judith Catherine Roberts (nee Reed), known as “Miss Nibs” or “Nubby” to her husband, Rod, died Oct. 15 at home in Valley Center, Calif. She was 73. The following was provided by her family. She was born Nov. 6, 1938, in Pasadena, Calif., to John and Eleanor Reed and attended Catholic school until 10th grade, when she transferred to John Muir High School. She went to University of California, Davis, for three years and then went to work for United Airlines as a reservations agent. After a ski holiday in Germany, she applied for work at the Rustler Lodge in Alta, Utah, and worked for Frank T. Menendez (aka “Poops”) as a housegirl. Frank had received an invitation to work at Whistler, British Columbia, via Eric Beardmore, and in the fall of 1965 he took a nucleus of staff (Art and Sue Strong, Gary Brace and Judy) up to Carlton’s Cabin on Alta Lake while waiting for Cheakamus Inn to be completed. Judy met her husband and soulmate, Rod Roberts, the following Febuary. The next two winters, Judy worked in the kitchen under Frank. Upon his departure in 1968, she took over his duties to continue his high standard of gourmet food and fresh-baked bread at Cheakamus. Judy’s summers were spent in Jackson Hole at Trail Creek Ranch working for Betty Woolsey, Sis Wigglesworth and Margaret Shultz. After two summers, she began cooking at

Trail Creek. In 1970, Judy and Rod left Whistler and traveled to Aspen, Colo., to work at the Copper Kettle for Sara and Armie Armstrong. The following summer, Judy went back to Wyoming to work for “Poops” again at a dude ranch in Saratoga. That winter, she returned to Utah to manage housemaids at the newly opened Snowbird Lodge. The next summer she returned to Trail Creek Ranch to cook. Rodney and Judy were married Sept. 19, 1972, in Salt Lake City, and they traveled to Williams Lake, British Columbia, for the winter. The next two summers were spent up in Petersburg, Alaska, where her

first son, David, was born in July 1974. That winter was spent in Alta Lodge in Alta, Utah. The spring of 1975 found her back in Vancouver with husband and young David, watching and encouraging the building of El Jebel, a 32-foot gillnet vessel on which she served as a deckhand for 10 years with Rod. In 1977, Rod, Judy and David moved to Nanaimo, British Columbia, to live in a 500-square-foot coal miners cottage. The Roberts stayed there till 1983 and moved just a few blocks away to a new house that Rod had spent three years building. In 1986, Judy’s father died, and she inherited a citrus grove near Escondido, Calif. The entire family, including her adopted son, Shane, moved down to the U.S. After 20 years of shuttling between British Columbia and San Diego for the summer salmon season, she sold the grove in 2004. Judy’s last seven years were spent living half the year in Safford, Ariz., and the other half in Nanaimo, British Columbia She touched so many people with her wit and humor. Her Christmas letters were legendary. She had a wonderful way with words and could have easily been a writer. She chose instead to take care of her husband, who dearly loved her. The outpouring from all of our friends has been overwhelming. She touched so many. They have a saying in New Zealand: “They should bottle her.” That about sums it up. Till we meet again, love. Adios.

A RESOLUTION HONORING AND THANKING MAGGIE LAND FOR HER YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF TETON COUNTY IN HER ROLE AS SOCIAL WORKER AT ST. JOHN’S MEDICAL CENTER WHEREAS, Maggie Land began as the social worker at St. John’s Medical Center in 2007; and WHEREAS, Maggie Land has worked tirelessly to help patients and their families work through life changing events in their lives; and

WHEREAS, Maggie Land was instrumental in creating and organizing the present involuntary commitment (Title 25) system that is used by both Teton and Sublette Counties in cooperation with St. John’s Medical Center, the Jackson Hole Community Counseling Center, and the Teton County Attorney’s Office; and WHEREAS, through Maggie Land’s patience and tenacity, she was able to keep the many partners and cogs in the machine operating in peak performance; and WHEREAS, Maggie Land also contributed to many areas of responsibility in our community from discharge planning at the hospital to grief counseling to her leadership in the Center of Excellence in the Orthopedics Team. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TETON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS, THE GOVERNING BODY OF TETON COUNTY, WYOMING, that the people of Teton County sincerely thank and honor Maggie Land for her years of service to our community. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 5th DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2012 TETON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Keith Gingery stated that throughout a year there are about eighty patients seen through the Title 25 program. Ms. Land, in her role as the social worker, is in touch with each entity involved to organize and keep patient cases moving through the system so they get the help they need quickly. He praised Ms. Land for her service and care for each and every patient that enters St. John’s. There was no public comment on this item. Mr. Vogelheim moved to approve as presented and request and require all the Board members to sign the resolution. Mr. Schwartz seconded. The Board discussed the program and thanked Maggie Land for her service to the community. The motion passed unanimously. 1. Consideration of Payment of the October 29, 2012 Vouchers Mr. Perry moved to approve the October 29, 2012 vouchers in the amount of $393,849.55. Mr. Phibbs seconded and the motion passed unanimously. 2. Consideration of a Forklift Purchase by Integrated Solid Waste & Recycling Heather Overholser presented a request to purchase a forklift for the Recycling Center. An invitation for proposals was advertised and one bid was received. Staff recommends the bid from Arnold Machinery for approval. It is for one electric forklift, Hyster Model: J70XN. The decision of purchasing an electric machine instead of propane-powered one was made because they last about twice as long, 15 years vs. 7-8 years. The bid is about $1500 less than the forklift purchase last year, at $59,900. The net purchase price after trade-in is $54,700. There was no public comment on this item. Mr. Perry moved to approve and request and require the Chair to sign the forklift purchase agreement with Arnold Machinery of Idaho Falls, which includes a purchase price of $59,900 and a trade-in for ISWR’s old forklift in the amount of $5,200. Mr. Schwartz seconded and the motion passed unanimously. 3. Consideration of an Award of Bid/Approval of purchase Walker Mower Steve Ashworth presented for a walker mower purchase. This was a sole source bid for the tractor portion so all the existing attachments could be used with the machine. There was discussion between the Board and staff on equipment going forward. There was no public comment on this item. Mr. Schwartz moved to award the bid/approve the purchase with Jackson Hole Cycle and Saw for the Walker Mower in the amount of $15,498.50 and request and require the Chair to sign. Mr. Perry seconded and the motion passed unanimously. 4. Consideration of Parks & Recreation Funding Steve Ashworth presented a request for authorization to utilize Parks and Recreation Department Fund 19 Reserves to fund an unplanned capital expense. The funding request is for modifications to the electrical system in the Town Square. As a result of last winter’s ice rink, electrical code enforcement reviewed the existing park electrical system and determined that it was not code compliant. The system was installed in 2005, and at that time met all requirement and codes. Due to change of uses on the square, conditions are no longer the same and modifications are required. The current reserve account is approximately $307,000.00. There was discussion between the Board and staff on the uses in the square and the Parks and Recreation Board’s position in the change in use. There was no public comment on this item. Mr. Schwartz moved to approve a budget amendment to utilize Parks and Recreation department reserve funds in the amount of, not to exceed, $35,000 for the Town Square Electrical project.

Three bids were received with South Park Nursery and Landscaping being the lowest bidder at $4,800. There was no public comment on this item. Mr. Vogelheim moved to approve a contract between Teton County and South Park Nursery and Landscaping to provide snow removal services at Rafter J Daycare. Mr. Perry seconded and the motion passed unanimously. 6.

A key provision prohibits START buses from utilizing the easement. On October 31, 2012 the common property was transferred from Melody Ranch Investments over to the Melody Ranch Homeowners Association.

Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Bloom further discussed a bus stop at the park. Mr. Bloom stated Melody Ranch would like to talk about a future route in the subdivision. The Commissioners stated it seemed illogical to call out START when the public can use the park. Mr. Ellis stated it took some work for the County to rearrange the prioritizations to get the park done this year and have not heard from the Melody board. Mr. Bloom stated his board is very appreciative of the County’s efforts to complete the park and playground. Paul D’Mours for the Meadows at Melody Ranch Homeowners Association addressed the START issue. The Access Agreement could be amended at a later date to remove the START prohibition. The Board discussed with Mr. D’Mours the road access and lot easements. Francesca Paolucci-Rice made public comment on the plats regarding road easement declarations.

Mr. Schwartz seconded. There was discussion between the Board and Mr. Gingery on the amendment to the Access Easement. Rich Bloom stated his board would like to have START service in Melody and to have further discussions with the County. Mr. Phibbs withdrew his motion. Mr. Phibbs moved to continue this item including all three documents to a date to be determined. Mr. Schwartz seconded. The motion passed unanimously. 7.

Snowmaking efforts at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort delivered quality early-season groomer turns Saturday, despite a lack of significant snowfall in the mountains and virtually no accumulation in the valley. The resort opened two lifts — the Apres Vous and Teewinot chairlifts — to launch the ski winter.

Just enough snow for skiing Limited terrain and mediocre weather doesn’t dull excitement. By Miller N. Resor Chairlifts at two area ski resorts made their first uphill trips of the winter, kicking off the 2012-13 season despite disappointing snow levels. Grand Targhee Resort opened Fred’s Moun-

tain the day after Thanksgiving beneath bluebird skies. Targhee was running the Shoshone and Dreamcatcher chairlifts as well as the Papoose Magic Carpet. Abi Ridgway, who returned to the valley to spend Thanksgiving with family, said the skiing was surprisingly good. “They had a lot more of the mountain open than I expected,” she said. “I cross-country skied in the morning and downhilled in the afternoon. The snow

was actually pretty good. It was a great way to start the season.” Ridgeway said a sense of anticipation was palpable among skiers, especially resort employees on the mountain. “You could tell that the mountain employees were getting pretty excited for the season,” she said. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort fired up its lifts Saturday. The Nov. 24th opening is the earliest in See SKIING on 5C

Avy center updates site, adds ‘friend’ page Jackson avalanche forecasters aim to boost benefit to the public. By Miller N. Resor The Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center was busy this summer. The group of snow scientists that posts up-to-the-minute avalanche information on its website all winter spent the summer building a new site and coordinating with other avalanche centers around the world. The renovated site has a new look that will make it more user-friendly,

said Bob Comey, director of the avalanche center. “The way avalanche centers around the country are looking at this,” said Comey, “is basically we are snow scientists with important information that can save people’s lives. So how do we communicate it most effectively?” The updated site, JHAvalanche. org, does that by adding several graphics to the advisory page. The advisory uses an “avalanche danger” graphic to show the risk level at various elevations in the morning and afternoon. The “avalanche danger” graphic is followed by a “general avalanche

advisory,” which is a quick summary of avalanche conditions, followed by the page’s second graphic, titled “today’s avalanche problems.” In “today’s avalanche problems,” a graphic is used to show avalanche danger at various aspects and elevations. Links to wind graphs, snowfall graphs and other information that was always on the site were moved to the top to make them easier to find. The final addition on the advisory page, a list of snow-pack definitions, points to another objective: streamlining the information. The avalanche center spent a lot of time working with other ava-

lanche centers to find a similar look for their websites. They also aimed to standardize definitions so that when one avalanche center reports a “persistent slab layer,” for example, everyone understands what is meant. Finally, the avalanche center has a new website it hopes will serve as an activity board for events within the community. On JHAvalanche Friends.com and on the corresponding Facebook page, people can find out about upcoming avalanche education classes as well as many other avalanche-related events. “It’s a work in progress,” Comey said, “but we’ve made some progress.”

2C - JACKSON HOLE NEWS&GUIDE, Wednesday, November 28, 2012

Your driving is our wildlife’s worst problem A handsome white Suburban raced up behind me at the new Hoback roundabout. I chuckled that it had to be from Utah. Such types revel in the reckless, short-straightaway passing opportunities frequently available in the Snake River Canyon. Speed-limit-driving twits like me seem to make Beehive Staters a touch impatient. Whenever driving to Alpine, I can easily see why our highway patrol happily targets such lead-footed motorists. My Dodge Ram Hemi continued strolling along at the 55 mph speed limit as I mused how our neighbors mow down as much of their big game as possible before traveling up here to extend the roadkill season. The big Chevrolet smoked past me right before the Evans Trailer Park on U.S. 89. “How about that?” I mumbled, sadly noticing a Wyoming 22 license plate and Jackson Colts rear window Paul Bruun sticker on the Suburban. When hunting pals wonder why area deer herds are declining, I mention they only have to follow the feasting ravens and magpies along our roadways to recognize part of the answer. For more dramatic proof, take a glimpse at auto body shop parking lots. Now is the time when big game migrations and some mule deer ruts are under way, making most highways more dangerous than normal. Nighttime driving raises the chances of animal-vehicle collisions because of poor visibility and increased game activity. Even the most convincingly written columns won’t make drivers slow down, pay more attention and dedicate themselves to conservation safety of wild game. Such motivation must come from within. My task is to heighten awareness of those who truly care about wildlife of all kinds. Lets hope these educated drivers will accidentally infect others who talk a good game about the importance of Wyoming wildlife, even as they continue to drive like hell — like that speedy local white Suburban pilot I observed. After a 45-minute pause for storage shed maintenance, my journey continued to the downtown post office. Parked on Pearl Avenue across from Frank Londy’s Twin Cinema was the same Suburban. Speeding is excusable, I always say, in order not to miss a minute of “Skyfall,” the latest Bond episode. Al Langston, the ageless public information wrangler for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, on Nov. 19 offered an educational news release, “Speed Kills — Slow Down to Avoid Wildlife Collisions” (WGFD.wyo.gov), that outlines a number of thoughtful ways drivers can minimize vehicle-wildlife crashes. Those who log many highway hours will realize they may already be familiar with most of the safety suggestions. Langston includes welcome reminders about areas that attract animals, that there is rarely only one deer and how your bright lights may blind and confuse animals. The basic key to helping yourself and animals survive: Slow down! Since the 45 mph nighttime speed limit has been installed on the main highway through Grand Teton National Park, more drivers than I expected are slowing down. The ones who refuse really stand

out like sore thumbs. Many of these speeders have out-of-state plates or are airport rentals. Consistent, safe navigation through wildliferich surroundings demands constant vigilance. An alert passenger’s help is always welcome. Repeatedly sounding the horn (day or night) is my No. 1 defense to deter animals from making a sudden move into my vehicle’s path. It may take several blasts, but antelope, deer and elk usually respond by reversing direction. Coming to a stop is the only solution when buffalo march into the highway. Because my truck is usually towing a boat, slowing down is important because stopping distances are increased. Legally traveling 45 mph through elk, buffalo, antelope and deer migration routes is common sense. It’s a practice I try to maintain, especially later in the season and throughout winter on all the valley highways, regardless of how many speedy Suburbans are riding my bumper. Pay attention, slow down and save a wild life.

Jackson Trout Unlimited mixer Dec. 11 The answer is “Flat Creek.” So what’s the question? Learn more about plans for a new stream enhancement project facilitated by Jackson Hole Trout Unlimited and other cooperating agencies. Get the scoop at the Jackson Hole Trout Unlimited 2012 winter member mixer scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Dec. 11 at Q Roadhouse. According to Darren Kleiman, Jackson Hole Troute Unlimited president, speakers describing future project plans will include Ryan Colyer or Tom Campbell from Biota Research, Wyoming Game and Fish habitat biologist Lara Sweeney, and Paul Santavy, deputy manager of the National Elk Refuge. The event features a cash bar and appetizers. For information call Kleiman at 690-7642 or email info@jhtroutunlimited.org.

Beginning Jan. 1, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission’s fishing seasons and rules brochure will cover three years rather than two. The change comes after 11 months of public interaction and responses to an angler survey conducted in 2011. The new fishing rules will be valid from 2013 through 2015. Obviously the extended rules program will save Fish and Game time as well as extra printing expenses, an important management decision om today’s economy. The rules brochures will be available at all license vendors and on the agency website before January.

Where’s Glendo? My literate neighbor and fellow News&Guide columnist Doreen Tome remains carefully guarded about how and why her entertaining “JH Senior” columns often feature obscure landmarks such as Glendo and Brooks Lake. “Wouldn’t readers enjoy knowing that your retired UPS delivery agent and fishing-fanatic husband Dennis drags you to these garden spots?” I ask during our street corner confabs. “Oh, Dennis won’t allow me to mention his name in the columns,” Doreen admitted during the summer. So when I noticed that Jeff Kirk, of Douglas, set a new state record of 2 pounds with a 17-inch gizzard shad from — where else? — Glendo Reservoir, I knew the news would thrill Doreen, the only person who could find positive attributes to describe this barren southeastern Wyoming area. Gizzard shad are a prolific baitfish added to Platte River system waters such as Glendo, to sustain the nonnative but popular walleye fishery. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Paul Bruun writes weekly on his adventures and misadventures in the great outdoors.

be grateful for. “Tomorrow is my 30th birthday,” he said, “so I was grateful that I finished respectably. It was also a beautiful day, so you got to be grateful for that.” Farmer crossed the finish line in 16th place overall.

Burns clinches regional title

Jackson-born Ryan Burns ran for one touchdown and threw for two in the Virginia Northern Region Division 5 Championship football game. The Stone Bridge Bulldogs, the team Burns joined after leaving Jackson in eighth grade, rallied from a 29-7 deficit halfway through the second quarter to win 69-50. At 2 p.m. Saturday, Burns will lead the Bulldogs in the Virginia Division 5 state semifinal football game.

By Miller N. Resor Clear blue skies gave everybody something to be thankful for at the 20th annual Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. Staged by Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation Department, the annual 5-kilometer run or walk took a new route through Jackson’s sunny streets Thanksgiving morning. The race drew 275 participants into the crisp morning air for some prefeast exercise. Nick Ekel from St. John’s, Mich., won the race with a time of 15:28.84, beating second-place Jackson runner Matt Chorney and third-place Victor, Idaho, athlete David Bergart by more than two minutes. “[Nick] did a good job,” Chorney said. “He was really fast. The race was a lot of fun. The Turkey Trot always is.” Chorney said he liked the new course. “It was nice to do a circle rather than an out and back,” he said. The race was very close among the top three female finishers. Hannah Demmler, Sinead O’Dweyer and Catherine Cloetta finished 11th, 12th

Resi Stiegler rebounded from an injury she sustained late last season to race Sunday in the Audi FIS Ski World Cup slalom race in Aspen. Although she did not qualify for a second run, Stiegler completed her first run. She finished 4.72 seconds out of first place. “It’s really nice [to be back out there],” said Stiegler in an interview with SkiRacing.com. “Of course, I want to do really well. But I have to be realistic. I haven’t trained the amount that I want to be able to go into a race with more confidence. I haven’t skied a course that long yet, but my body feels great. I just wanted to go into it and get the first race out of the way. I always hope to do better than I did today, but that’s OK.” Kathrin Zettel, of Austria, won the race.

Father-son finalists

Jackson native Clint Bowles and his father, Jim Bowles, the former Jackson Hole High School tennis coach, reached the finals of the USTA National Senior Father-Son Clay Court Championships in Sarasota, Fla., last weekend. They took home the silver after a closely contested match that ended 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. Teams from all over the U.S. participated. .

Avalanche Awareness Night

Mark your calendars: Avalanche Awareness Night is just around the corner. The annual event sets the backcountry skiing tone for the year with presentations from local snow safety, avalanche and weather professionals. Keynote speaker Drew Hardesty, a forecaster with the Utah Avalanche Center, will speak about the past, present and future of backcountry skiing. Don Sharaf, of the American Avalanche Institute, will talk about the early-season snowpack, meteoroligist Jim Woodmency will give the annual winter forecast, and Pass Ambassador Jay Pistono will remind one and all of Teton Pass etiquette. Bob Comey and Mike Rheam, both from the Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center, will talk about new developments with the avalanche lab and hotline, and AJ Wheeler, from Teton County Search and Rescue, will talk about dealing with backcountry emergencies. Finally, a special presentation in tribute to Steve Romeo and Chris Onufer, who were lost in an avalanche last winter, will be held. The event will take place from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Dec. 6 in the Snow King Resort Grand Teton Room.

Prepare your skis

With the ski season already underway, maybe it is time to learn to sharpen and wax your equipment to perfection. Teton County/ Jackson Parks and Recreation is offering a basic ski waxing, filing and sharpening class 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the rec center. The course will be taught by staff from Hoback Sports. Participants must be 18 or older. The program costs $10. Registration deadline is today.

Hunting license applications

A meeting to discuss the application period for big game and turkey licenses will be held at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 11 at the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Jackson offices. Game and Fish is proposing shortening the application period for hunters applying with paper applications, so the applications will be received earlier and can be processed at the same time as online applications. Online application deadlines would remain the same.

Head to West Yellowstone for early season S ometime around the end of August, as the heat of summer began to dissipate and winter seemed close enough to begin dreaming about corduroy and powder, I began planning for a Thanksgiving trip to the Yellowstone Ski Festival in West Yellowstone, Mont. The annual Nordic ski festival signals the start of the winter sport season, drawing recreational and competitive skiers from around the country for several days of competition, clinics and time on the snow. Activities ranging from waxing demos to a s’more roast round out the event. When I initially posed the idea of checking out this year’s festival, I imaged caravanning north — husband, infant daughter, parents and two big dogs layered between skis and coats. Piles of gear and logistics galore are a big part Amy Hatch of having an outdoor family, and I’ve come to accept it. However, when my parents offered to stay back with our daughter and dogs to let my husband and me get away for a night by ourselves, my excitement grew tenfold. No matter that by the time Thanksgiving week rolled around, the snow accumulation in West Yellowstone wasn’t much more than a dusting. We had a room booked at a bed and breakfast, and all else seemed peripheral. Optimistically, we waxed our skis in preparation. But just in case, we threw our running shoes into the car too. (A jog into Yellowstone National Park wasn’t the worst fallback plan.) And we were on our way. After navigating the run-down streets of West Yellowstone and an information center that more aptly should have been named a misinformation center, we found our way to the start of the festivities. Normally, the cross-country ski festival is held on the Rendezvous Ski Trails that start right in the heart of West Yellowstone. This year, however, due to a lack of snow, organizers had to relocate the festival to higher elevations. A pilot car left on the top of the hour all afternoon, leading a train of cars up the narrow and bumpy South Plateau Road. We bought our $10-per-person tickets and fell into the line of cars. Arriving at the trailhead was like unloading from the first tram on a powder day, only with a whole lot more spandex involved. Competitive ski teams piled out from van after van and hit the trails with gusto. Meanwhile, I was finding my skate skiing legs after a 2-year hiatus — last winter I was pregnant,

and stuck to classic skiing. I felt like a gopher in a Serengeti stampede or a large boulder parting the current of a river. Skinny skis swooshed to my right and left. After about a half an hour, the crowds had dispersed, and I had remembered a thing or two about how to skate ski. I fell into a nice rhythm as we climbed and descended the hilly track. I reveled in the feeling of gliding over snow.

Winter had arrived, even if it had made its appearance with little exuberance. Day one on skis; many more to go. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Mountainsides looks at the sports that define this community but that may not always find their way into the sports section.

New wrestling coach sets ambitious goals Bell aims for high school team to qualify at least 10 Broncs to state championship, up from three last season. By Miller N. Resor On Monday afternoon, the Jackson Hole High School wrestling team started its third week of practice under Ryan Bell, the new head coach. Bell stepped into the position after one year as assistant coach and five years of coaching wrestling at Jackson Hole Middle School. He grew up in Casper and wrestled at Chadron State College in Nebraska. “The past two weeks I’ve been punishing these guys,” Bell said. “They’ve been responding really well. By the end of practices, the mats are puddled with sweat.” The Broncs lift weights in the mornings, drill, practice their technique and do a lot of running. “We are still pretty young,” Bell said. “We were young last year, too.” Still, he has high hopes for the team. Last year the team qualified three wrestlers for state. Bell has set a team goal of qualifying at least 10 boys for state this year. Two seniors from Colorado have been added to the roster, and three state qualifiers from last year have returned: junior Jonathan Tzompa and sophomores Logan Rodenbough and Jonas Rammell. Bel thinks senior Gage Antrobus and sophomore Ben Flickinger also will be strong members of the team. “We are pretty strong in the lower weights, good in the middle weights and have a few heavy-

For Korinne Bagley Nelson and Trisha Bagley Kunz, spending Thanksgiving at their family at home was another step down the path to saving it. The Bagleys grew up living in a house above Flat Creek Inn and Mart north of Jackson. When a series of pitfalls plagued the property over the past few years, the family took over the business from a tenant, putting it back in Bagley hands after almost 20 years. “It’s a family business, and now it’s back in the family again,” Nelson said. “It has a special place in our hearts.” Built by Jerry and Patsy Bagley in the 1960s, the 72-room inn has served travelers and hunters heading to the National Elk Refuge, Grand Teton National Park and the Bridger-Teton National Forest ever since. A gas station and convenience store drew motorists for one last pit stop before reaching the services in the national park. Today, though the outer shell of the gas station still stands, the pumps are gone, removed by the service provider this spring. The mini-mart isn’t operating. The inn has gone on and off the market over the past several years as financial woes beset tenant Carl King, who essentially leased and ran the business. Jerry and Patsy’s children spent more than a year working to regain control of the inn through a “complex and involved” process, said Nelson’s husband, Leon Nelson. There are six Bagley siblings, of which his wife and Kunz are the eldest. They’ve been back at the reins for about a month, he said. “The business was effectively leased for the past 18 years or so,” he said. “Through a series of events, we decided it would be best for the

property if we took the place over. We didn’t particularly seek to be in this position, but it’s been a lot of fun.” During the month since the Bagleys took control, they have hired a new staff, including new managers and housekeepers. Over the Thanksgiving holiday, much of the Bagley family joined employees and longtime guests for dinner in the newly redone lobby, Korinne Nelson said. The rest of their four-day stay in Jackson was spent hard at work to fix up the inn for the high season. Bagleys scrubbed floors, painted walls, washed curtains and doors, designed and printed new business cards and continued talks to get the gas station running again. The family expects to have the convenience store and the gas pumps operating again by spring, if not earlier, said Kunz’s hus-

band, Eric Kunz. For the Bagley girls, it’s both a new beginning and a way to honor their past and their father’s legacy. Jerry Bagley died 10 years ago, but Nelson and Kunz said memories of him and their childhood are thick at Flat Creek Inn. The view of the elk refuge hasn’t changed at all since the two sisters looked out their windows as toddlers, they said. Both remember pitching in at the inn and convenience store while they were growing up. “My dad used to talk about sweat equity,” Trisha Kunz said. “He had us working in the store here our entire childhood. We really feel like our dad smiles down on us here. I think it was his dream to see all his children work together on something, and for it to be this is even more special.”

and create an event celebrating conservation in all its forms, including culture, science, and activism. If executed well, this is a fabulous idea. As with the development of any new endeavor, though, the devil is going to be in the details. But before the details even come into play, a fundamental question needs to be answered: Who or what is the target audience? The way that question is answered will determine not only the event’s ultimate success, but whether it will prove a worthwhile community investment. Here’s what I mean. I’ve written ad nauseam that Jackson Hole’s long-term health — not just our economic health, but our overall success as a community — depends on remaining truly distinctive. Only three things distinguish us from other communities: our landscape, wildlife and culture/character. The beauty of the “conservation event” idea is that it can complement not just our unique landscape and abundant wildlife, but also the core of our culture that was formed by our conservation heritage, first by the creation of Yellowstone National Park, and then by the expansion of Grand Teton National Park to its current boundaries. Add in efforts ranging from the Muries’ role in forging the Wilderness Act to the success of the Jackson Hole Land Trust, and arguably no other place in the world comes close to matching our conservation legacy. That’s the promise. What actually occurs at an October conservation event, though, might fall anywhere along a spectrum. Let’s call one end of that spectrum “Old Conservation Days” and the other end the “Davos of Conservation.” “Old Conservation Days” would be an attempt to replicate Old West Days in October, with a focus on attracting tourists from regional markets. At the other end of the spectrum, the “Davos of Conservation” would be built on two pillars: our extraordinary conservation legacy and the changing nature of conservation. As the world’s population grows, the 20th-century approach to conservation — i.e.,

Graph 2 Graph 4

locking up land — is reaching a dead end. Further, as technology makes it increasingly easy to replicate built environments anywhere, conservation is going to take on a new, broader, and more complicated meaning, encompassing subjects from anthropology to biology and geography to art. No one has really thought through “21st-century conservation,” but figuring it out and getting it right are arguably the most important challenges facing the planet this century. If done properly, an annual “future of conservation” conference will attract thought, business and activism leaders from around the world, and we’ll achieve a superfecta of successes by: • bringing hundreds, if not thousands, of new visitors to Jackson Hole in October; • more closely aligning our economy with our conservation

values and cultural heritage; • building our overall tourism economy by increasing Jackson Hole’s global recognition in a way no marketing campaign could hope to do; and • harnessing our values, character and resources to make a significant difference in the world. If we adopt this approach, I’m all in. If, however, we choose an “Old Conservation Days” approach, I think we’re wasting our time. Graph 4 hints at why: While Old West Days clearly help May’s taxable sales, right now May, with two “traditional” structured events (the ElkFest and Old West Days), outperforms October, with no structured events, by an average of only 12 percent. If we’re going to go to all the effort to create and stage an event, do we simply want to aspire to re-create May in the fall?

ing. Could the effort blow up? Sure. But given that there’s nothing else in the world like a 21st-century conservation event, and given such an event’s potential to attract influential individuals, leaders and institutions, the payoff could be huge. If Jackson Hole can become synonymous with conservation as Davos is with bringing together the world’s movers and shakers, we will reap extraordinary returns on our investment. That’s the opportunity at hand. Here’s hoping we seize it. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Jonathan Schechter column appears every other week in this spot.

Why not swing for the fences and stage an annual event that holds the potential to make truly meaningful, 21st-century conservation synonymous with Jackson Hole? If we build such a reputation, the tourists will come not just in October but throughout the year, and commerce will take care of itself. Put another way: When it comes to an October conservation event, are we going to spend our lodging tax dollars or invest them? If the lodging tax is not renewed in 2014, what will we have to show for it? We could spend $400,000 over three years to build a nice little regional event. We know how to do that, and the risk is probably low. But as with any risk-reward equation, so too is the likely reward. Alternatively, we can invest $400,000 in an effort to build something substantive, important and last-

Chris Davenport descends a chute toward the ocean in Antarctica in a scene from the film “Choose Your Adventure,” which screens Friday and Saturday.

Crazy about skiing

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Who: Powderwhore Productions What: ‘Choose Your Adventure’ ski film When: 8 p.m. Friday in Jackson, 7 p.m. Saturday in Victor, Idaho Where: Inversion Yoga Studio, 290 N. Milward in Jackson; Wildwood Room, 411 Lupine Drive in Victor How much: $10 in Jackson, $12 in Victor to raise funds for the Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center Web: PowderWhore.com ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– By Kelsey Dayton

arrell Finalyson, of Utah, has skied every month for the past 16 years. Last summer, he broke his neck. Determined to not break his streak, he donned a neck brace and on the last day of September got in his turns for the month. Powderwhore Productions was there to capture the day. It’s a scene that in an epic snow year might not have made the final cut, but this year’s Powderwhore flick isn’t standard ski porn, said Jonah Howell, who owns the company with his brother, Noah Howell. “Choose Your Adventure,” which shows Friday in Jackson and Saturday in Victor, Idaho, almost didn’t get made. In fact, the Howell brothers contemplated not releasing a movie for the first time in eight years, because the snow of the 2011-12 season was so abysmal. Noah Howell tore his ACL on the first trip of the season. Then Jonah Howell spent two weeks in France skiing, and it didn’t snow a single day. In the Wasatch Mountains, and seemingly everywhere else, conditions were mediocre at best. The brothers began looking through unused footage from previous seasons and found some stuff that was pretty good and never before seen, especially some from a trip to Norway. But it wasn’t enough to make a movie. Then they saw some raw footage by athletes who had spent the summer skiing in South America. And some friends shared shots from British Columbia. Jonah Howell started spend-

ing time with some local old-time skiers in the Wasatch. They began to consider using all the footage, as well as some they would shoot, for a film unlike anything they had created before. The movie flowed, but it was surprising. “You never know what’s coming next,” Jonah Howell said. As kids, the brothers had always loved “Choose Your Own Adventure” books. It was a theme they had talked about playing with — creating a movie people could make go in different directions — but it became too complicated. This film, with such a wide range of places and skiers, seemed to embody the idea of choosing one’s own adventure. Instead of taking great skiers to exotic locales, the film catches people skiing where they would be whether or not a camera was trained on them. The skiers were choosing their adventure and the camera was just capturing it. The result is a “variety-show-like” feel. “It’s like its own film festival,” Jonah Howell said. Eight years ago, the brothers started

making backcountry ski movies, at first filming telemark skiing. They would take a camera out, and whoever got the privilege of first turns also had the duty of filming the other skiers. As they progressed into ski mountaineers, their films began to capture all forms of backcountry skiing. Backcountry skiing is in many ways like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. Decision-making starts in the morning — What do you feel like skiing? How challenging do you want the day? Where do you want to go? — and continues on as the terrain and weather and snow are evaluated. It’s that freedom Jonah Howell loves and tries to capture in his movies. This year’s film, while different from what the brothers originally hoped to create at the beginning of the season, perhaps captures that freedom by showcasing phenomenal, well-known athletes, but also guys who simply love the sport regardless of talent or skill. “These are skiers,” Howell said, “that are just crazy about skiing.”

raveling to a new place, I strive to find the ultimate off-the-beatenpath or best-kept-secret locales. Of course, those are oxymorons. For a foreign tourist like myself to discover any such place through word of mouth means it can’t be that much of a secret. Nevertheless, I’m constantly searching for these little gems, whatever they may be called. I have no qualms with guidebooks or going to places that are considered to have high tourist traffic, because there is often a reason so many people want to visit them. If you go to Paris, how could you miss the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe simply because they’re tourist hot spots?

constantly faced. From there, we hiked along the edges of a mossy riverbed, looking at hidden waterfalls deep in the forest. At times we walked waist-deep in the river itself, because there wasn’t a path leading up to a swimming hole we yearned to reach in the midday heat. When we reached the waterfall and the pool beneath it that we were looking for, Tom brought me up to a perch from which we could jump into the foam below. As the day neared its conclusion, we sat at a coffee shop in Minca reminiscing about the events of the past 36 hours. Tom had told me earlier in the day about this awesome single-track mountain bike trail called the Kracken that led from Minca to the bottom of the mountains, but he didn’t think we would have enough time to fit it in before sunset. I asked again about the trail when we reached Minca, and he perked up and looked at his watch. “If we go right now, we’ll get to the bottom as the sun is going down.” That was all I needed to hear to strap on my helmet and hop on my bike. The Kracken was a wild rock garden the entire way down that kept us both on our toes as we raced to the bottom. It was hard to keep my eyes on the trail as I was constantly confronted with breathtaking view of the Caribbean below me. This exhilarating final leg was the perfect ending to an amazing twoday trek. During the entire visit, Tom had a relaxed air about him that often made me forget he was our guide and talk as if we were old friends. He had a wealth of knowledge of the ecology of the area that he was more than willing to share with us, but we never felt overwhelmed with him pointing out every last plant species in the area. Tom shared his ambitions to expand Elemento’s treks to new areas of the Sierras previously closed to the public, so treks will constantly be fresh, never feeling like your typical guided tour. Tom is hoping to open climbing routes in the Sierras that have never been climbed before. If you’re interested in guiding rock climbing in Colombia, he’s looking for a guide to help pioneer some of these routes. Find Elemento on Facebook to get in touch with him. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Park Dunn-Morrison is back from his fall travels, ready to explore hidden corners of Jackson Hole this winter.

Triumphant Growlers take Mondays at Q –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Who: Random Canyon Growlers What: Mountain bluegrass When: 7-10 p.m. Mondays Where: Q Roadhouse How much: Free Web: RandomCanyonGrowlers.com –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– By Brielle Schaeffer

resh from a fall tour of the United Kingdom, the Random Canyon Growlers will take up residence at Q Roadhouse from 7 to 10 p.m. Mondays this winter. The bluegrass band of valley residents Jamie Drysdale (lead vocals, guitar), Brock Benjamin (banjo, vocals), Jon Degroot (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Matt Herron (fiddle) and Matt Donovan (bass) is settling in for ski season, but it has plans to play across the pond again next year. The group has been playing around the region for several years, most recently and notably at August’s Targhee Bluegrass Festival at Grand Targhee Resort. It had the idea to tour overseas while playing at an Idaho festival a few years ago that many acoustic bands from the Northwest congregate at, Donovan said. The groups “were all talking about touring the United Kingdom and how we should do it if we hadn’t yet,” he said. “They basically convinced us that there was a demand for our style of playing in that part of the world.” And the band found out for itself that there really is a demand in Britain, Donovan said. “Honestly, it’s pretty eye-opening,” he said. “They love it. The response is overwhelmingly positive, and we couldn’t ask for anything more.” The Random Canyon Growlers left Jackson on Oct. 5 to play the Atlantic City Music Festival and from there left for London. “Our first show in the U.K. was in London on Oct. 10,” Donovan said. “We had three days off scheduled between then and the last show on Nov. 4. Within a week of being in the U.K.,

Recently returned from a monthlong tour of the United Kingdom, Jackson Hole’s Random Canyon Growlers will keep their chops sharp and their harmonies tight this winter with weekly Monday night gigs at Q Roadhouse.

those dates all filled. So, all said and done, we played 28 shows in 26 days as well as six radio spots, including a few on the BBC, and we also busked in the streets a few times for extra pocket money.” During the tour, the musicians played in a 300-year-old barn, a converted church, a historic jazz club, some living rooms and even on a barge, he said. “The smaller listening environments where we got to play, either completely acoustic or with a single microphone, were far and away our favorite,” Donovan said. “We had to spend a few moments on stage each night taking it all

in because we all just felt so fortunate to be going through such an incredible experience.” Their only show in Scotland, at a pub, was unforgettable, he said. “There’s two ways to a band’s heart — through their stomachs and through their livers — and it’s unexpected to receive either,” he said. “It was a cold, rainy Sunday, and as soon as we walked in we were showered with an endless supply of single-malt scotch and a huge feast fit for a king. It was the best hospitality we could have asked for.” At the end of the meal, the bar owner gave the band T-shirts with

the bar’s logo on it that said “Random Canyon Growlers UK Tour 2012.” “We played a great show to an incredible crowd that was hooting and hollering all night long,” he said. The group can’t wait to go back. “We’re already planning a return for late summer/fall 2013,” Donovan said. “Buy your plane tickets now.” Until then, listen to the Random Canyon Growlers’ old-time jams at Q Roadhouse all winter long. They also have a gig scheduled from 7 to 11 p.m. Dec. 14 at the Silver Dollar Bar in the Wort Hotel. Visit RandomCanyonGrowlers.com for updates throughout the season.

Hot Tuna came together as an offshoot of Kaukonen and Casady’s former band, Jefferson Airplane, but the pair began playing together long before while growing up in Washington, D.C. Starting the band’s career as an opening act for

Jefferson Airplane, bass player Casady and guitarist Kaukonen honed their own electric blues style with an emphasis on improvisation. At 8 p.m. Feb. 15, Hot Tuna will play the Pink Garter Theatre as part of the western leg of its acoustic tour. Tickets go on sale Friday for $35. During the past 40 years, Kaukonen and Casady have recorded more than 24 records as Hot Tuna. In the 1990s, they strayed from their signature electric blues and jazz sessions and introduced fans to their acoustic work. Returning to Hot Tuna’s electric roots, their most recent album, “Steady as She Goes,” was released in April 2011. It was named one of Jamband News’ top 10 albums of 2011. Both men have released

solo albums to much critical acclaim, and they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Kaukonen’s 2002 solo effort, “Blue Country Heart,” earned the skilled fingerpicker a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Folk Album. Casady and Kaukonen will be joined onstage by guitarist G.E. Smith. Smith has played with David Bowie, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Lou Reed, Buddy Guy, Mick Jagger and Tina Turner. From 1985 to 1995, he was the music director for NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” Hot Tuna’s live performances and albums are available for download on iTunes.

Stay to enjoy the company and drink specials. Town Square Tavern hosts its second Locals Appreciation Party at 8 p.m. Thursday to end the off-season. Last year’s party went over so well that Stephen Carter, the tavern’s general manager, decided to hold another one with bigger prizes and plenty of rock ’n’ roll. “It’s going to be a good party,” Carter said, “and a way to give back.” The Brian Maw Band, from Des Moines, Iowa, will entertain for the night with its brand of funk and rock. Town Square Tavern will also be raffling loads of prizes like ski gear and bottles of booze as well as an all-mountain season pass to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and a season pass to Snow King Resort. To win the season passes, entries must be prequalified from one of the weekly drawings since Oct. 24. Each Wednesday, 65 winners have been drawn to be added to the season pass pool. About 350 entries make up the total pot for the passes. The last weekly drawing will be held tonight. Only one entry per bar shift is allowed. The season pass drawing is set for 10:30 p.m. at the appreciation party. Ticket holders must be present to win.

With new programming director Shannon McCormick at its helm, the Center for the Arts announced part of the bill for the series Tuesday: singer-songwriters James McMurtry and John Fullbright, folk singersongwriter Ruthie Foster and South African rockers Civil Twilight. The soul band Delta Rae is set to play in February. Surfer-musician Donavon Frankenreiter will play in March along with Who’s Bad, a renowned Michael Jackson cover band. “It’s a diverse bunch of genres that’s most importantly fresh,” McCormick said. Five to eight additional concerts in the Center Presents winter series will be announced in the next few weeks, he said. The opening concert of the series features veteran Texas singer-song-

writer James McMurtry and Oklahoman upstart John Fullbright on Dec. 29. McMurtry has “a serious Jackson following,” a statement on the series says. And he has good pedigree. McMurtry is the son of novelist Larry McMurtry, best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “Lonesome Dove.” Fullbright is a 23-year-old “rising star,” McCormick said. This is the first time the two will share the stage.

“I like creating things that shake it up a little bit.” – Shannon McCormick Center for the Arts Programming Director

“I had the idea to do McMurtry, and I knew McMurtry was interested but I wanted to add something to the bill to make it even more exciting,” he said. “I like creating things that shake it up a little bit. It’s always fun to make something happen that maybe has never happened before.”

January offers blues and folk singer Foster with her trio and will feature the center’s Steinway piano on stage, the statement says. That show is set for Jan. 10. McCormick’s new favorite band, Civil Twilight, is scheduled to perform Jan. 17, he said. “That one’s going to be one where people walk out and say, ‘Wow, what was that?’” McCormick said. Delta Rae, a group that fuses fourpart harmonies with a rich Carolina soul, plays Feb. 20. People are going to be “psyched” to see them, McCormick said. Who’s Bad plays March 21 and Frankenreiter is set for March 25. Foster and Frankenreiter “are going to be really cool additions to our town,” he said. “Neither one of them have played here as far as I know.” Tickets for Frankenreiter will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. at the Center for the Arts box office and online at JHCenterForTheArts.org. Tickets for Foster, Civil Twilight, Who’s Bad, Delta Rae and James McMurtry and John Fullbright will be available starting at 10 a.m. Dec. 5. A limited number of discounted ticket packages will be available by phone at that time. The multi-show discount package applies to An Acoustic Evening with James McMurtry and John Fullbright, Ruthie Foster and Civil Twilight only.

Guitarist Mike Dowling will perform Tuesday and Dec. 5 at Dornan’s.

During two shows next week, a trio of talented string musicians promises to dazzle the audience at Dornan’s Spur Bar in Moose. Led by Mike Dowling, a Chicago and Nashville ex-pat who launched his solo career in 1995, the group also will contain guitarist and crooner Phil Round and mandolin player Ben Winship. Although Dowling typically plays American roots music mixed with bottleneck blues and vintage jazz, for

this performance he’s collaborating with Round and Winship to play tunes they have worked up together. Those who have attended Dowling’s performances in the past decade at Dornan’s might be surprised by the variety. “It’s not just Mike Dowling doing his thing with Ben and Phil,” Dowling said. “It’ll be special material I haven’t done there before, tunes we all have an interest in, some things we can all gang up on.” The set list will be inspired by “a broad bag of rootsy material,” Dowling said, from Elmore Leonard to Louis Armstrong. The performance will give the men an opportunity to sing three-part harmonies and duets as well as their usual instrumental stylings, for which each has garnered widespread acclaim. The late fiddler Vassar Clements called Dowling “one of the finest gui-

tarists there is, anywhere.” The Dubois resident has recorded with jazz violin great Joe Venuti and master mandolinist Jethro Burns. Round calls Dowling “a superb songwriter and incredible instrumentalist.” “He really is the musician’s musician,” Round said. “I’d play with him anywhere. He’s just the master.” Round, leader of the Snake River Band and Loose Ties, originated the Grand Targhee Music Festival and sings and plays guitar all over the west. Idaho picker Winship most often performs with Brother Mule and Growling Old Men. He writes music, teaches and records albums from his Henhouse Studio. The Dornan’s shows Tuesday and Dec. 5 will both begin at 8 p.m., and tickets cost $20. They can be purchased in advance at Valley Bookstore or at Dornan’s.

Craft fairs abound during holiday season Shoppers can choose handmade gifts Friday, Saturday and beyond.

Fair forecast Artsy Co-op Show Noon-7 p.m. Friday American Legion Post 43

By Lindsay Wood Gone are the days of big-box commercialized gifts for the holidays. Handmade and heartfelt is the way to go. If you’re not an expert knitter or someone who’s fabulous with a blowtorch, then the array of craft fairs held Friday and Saturday provide options for the perfect present. From noon until 7 p.m. Friday at American Legion Post 43, 12 artists and crafters will display their wares to the public at the Artsy Co-op Show. The selection will include batikpainted trucker hats made by Abby Paffrath and handmade cards and gift tags by Cindy Satagaj-Radda. Shoppers should expect a dose of whimsy at the co-op. Molly Hawks crafted retro dioramas with vintage and found objects. Peg and Mike Invie of Green with Invie Designs will offer African wicker baskets, small furniture and pottery. Amy Taylor will have vintage gifts from her collection on sale. Jewelry designers Martha MacEachern of Sweet Peony Designs and Ruth Moran-Rooks of Corvus Designs will be on hand with beaded, silver and brass pieces. Diana Eden and Kisa Francis will be selling handmade sweaters, belts and hats. Emily Paul will display some of her small canvases for sale, and Kristen Simpson of Teton Chocolat will have chocolates by the box and by the piece.

from collapsing in exhaustion from the flurry of gift ideas. Half a dozen new vendors will be at the bazaar this year alongside many returning favorites. To add to the festive feel, the Jackson Hole High School band and choir will provide holiday tunes, and Santa will make an appearance from noon to 1 p.m. The first 50 children to visit Mr. Claus will receive a gift. Shoppers are asked to donate a toy to support Wyoming Toys for Kids or a nonperishable food item for the Jackson Cupboard. Monetary donations are also being accepted for the church’s community outreach programs. “The Christmas Bazaar is a wonderful kickoff to the holidays,” Holton said, “and a great way to inspire Christmas in your heart.” The spirit of giving is contagious. Country Christmas Marketplace, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Teton County Fair Building, will benefit the Teton County Sheriff ’s Office crime prevention department. Deb Blair, a mainstay of the former Homemakers Bazaar, teamed with Pat Goe of the sheriff ’s department to create the craft fair fundraiser. Blair expects about 27 vendors at the sale, many of whom came calling after the Homemaker’s Bazaar ended its 25-year run. Blair said she wanted to keep it going “for the sake of all the crafters”

Presbyterian bazaar returns Back for the 11th year, the Presbyterian Church of Jackson Hole will have its Christmas Bazaar, formerly known as the Christmas Craft Fair, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Jo Holton, director of the event, plans to have 42 vendors selling handmade items like nutcrackers, ornaments, green cutting boards, bird houses, beauty products, paintings and wind chimes. Holton also will be selling her famous corn chowder, as well as breakfast and lunch items, to keep shoppers

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– What: Reception for ‘Local Key Ingredients’ and Christmas exhibits When: 1-5 p.m. Sunday Where: Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum Web: JacksonHoleHistory.org How much: Free ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– By Kate Hull

ost of us are probably still devouring the last crumbs of pumpkin pie or the last helping of mom’s casserole, wondering how it is even possible to eat another bite. Our food cultures carry a lot of weight this time of year (not just in extra holiday pounds), defining in large part who we are as a country, region and state. To celebrate this rich history, the Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum will present a Teton version of “Key Ingredients: America by Food,” a Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibition showcasing the history of food in America. The Smithsonian exhibition comes to the Art Association of Jackson Hole on Dec. 13 (see sidebar). In the meantime, residents can get a taste of what makes up Jackson Hole’s food history. Beginning Sunday with a reception from 1 to 5 p.m., the historical society will celebrate “Key Ingredients” and the holiday season with a Christmas exhibit, complete with local chefs’ cookie creations and cowboy and cowgirl cookie decorating in the children’s workshop. At 2 p.m., folklife specialist Andrea

Graham will give a presentation, “Foodways in the Intermountain West,” delving into the importance of food traditions in our culture. Shannon Sullivan, the museum curator, has spent two years researching Jackson’s past to find what traditions in the culinary world shaped our present. For the rest of the state, farming and cowboystyle dining comes to mind, but Jackson is different, as Sullivan quickly discovered. Tourism is our bread and butter.

“The idea of sharing food and selling food in restaurants is very, very Jackson Hole.” – Shannon Sullivan Jackson Hole Museum Curator

The local “Key Ingredients” show displays menus from restaurants in the area throughout the decades, from the early 1900s to the present. “The idea of sharing food and selling food in restaurants is very, very Jackson Hole,” Sullivan said. From early dude ranches, like the Bar BC Ranch, dating back to 1912, to the historic Wort Hotel’s Silver Dollar Grill, Sullivan has archived and collected numerous menus, organizing

them chronologically to show the changing tourism culture through the lens of sharing and selling food. “With the early dude ranches, you can see that it was very important for [visitors] to have their comfort from wherever they came from,” Sullivan said. “Then it transitioned to people coming here for the ‘Old West’ experience, and we are going to give you that experience. Then it [transitions] into cafes and being able to sell cafe food.” Visitors will be able to search through a collection of the menus while they walk through the exhibit, allowing for a more interactive experience. The menus are paired with artifacts from different eras, such as butter churns and vintage kitchen appliances. Sullivan said the Wort Hotel was an interesting restaurant to study because of its longevity and the changes it experienced over the years. She has compiled nearly 50 years of menus from its restaurants. “It is fun to see how it has changed,” she said. “At one point in the marketing, the menu advertised the Wort Motor Hotel and it was more like the driving-on-the-highway kind of traveler. At another point, there is much more fancy food, expensive steaks and cocktails. Then there is the 1988 menu with newspaper-style text that focuses on history.” Whether searching for luxury or the true, gritty cowboy experience, Jackson Hole has enticed decades of tourists to sample the flavor, both of the culture and cuisine, and to delve into the Jackson Hole way of life.

Smithsonian exhibit to arrive Dec. 13 From Dec. 13 to Jan. 20, the Smithsonian Institution’s national traveling exhibit “Key Ingredients: America by Food” will be hosted by the Art Association in conjunction with the Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum and the Wyoming Humanities Council. The exhibit takes visitors on an interactive and educational tour of food history and culture in America. Showcasing how food has evolved from the days before refrigeration into its own culture that entices “foodies” and restaurant-lovers, the exhibit touches on all aspects of life surrounding comestibles. “It is something I don’t think people necessarily give a lot of thought to,” said Shannon Sullivan, Jackson Hole Museum curator. “They give a lot of thought into what they eat at a specific meal, but people don’t look at how it is all connected to everything we do in life. It is so interesting to see how important food is in general life, it is sustenance, but it is really interesting to think about in other ways.” The Smithsonian has created an interactive website, KeyIngredients.org, encouraging visitors across the country to share family recipes and food stories and to learn about traditions across the country, as well as to share small-town eateries for visitors to try.

Library talk part of authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luckiest year Pulitzer winner Egan will be at Four Seasons Friday and Saturday.

when people tell me they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of a sense that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not getting something. I tell them â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be fun.

By Emma Breysse

A lot of the forms you chose, like the PowerPoint chapter in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goon Squad,â&#x20AC;? read very similarly to poetry. Are you a fan of poetry? Have you ever tried your hand at poems? I do like poetry. I especially like epic poetry. One of my favorite of is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Don Juanâ&#x20AC;? by Lord Byron. It couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a more fun adventure story. I even tried to write a chapter for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goon Squadâ&#x20AC;? in the form of an epic poem. I mean, to have PowerPoint and epic poetry in the same book? Come on! But it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really turn out right.

When Jennifer Egan stops in Jackson Hole for the Teton County Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Page to the Podium event, it will be the newest link in a chain of events she never expected. Eganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Visit From the Goon Squad,â&#x20AC;? skips through 40 years of evolution in music, public relations and the lives of a loosely connected web of characters. With time as the major theme and nontraditional elements like a chapter in PowerPoint, the book seems an odd choice for the latest literary sensation. Nevertheless, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what it became, capping the hype by winning the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Jacksonites can hear from Egan on the perks and pitfalls of experimenting with literature Friday at the Four Seasons in Teton Village, when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll address all comers at the 13th annual Page to the Podium event. The evening begins at 6. Egan also will be featured at an author chat at the Four Seasons at 8:30 a.m. the next day. Page to the Podium tickets are available free with a valid library card or card number at Teton County Library. As of Monday, about 120 seats were left. Tickets for Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s author chat are available as well for $50 each. Just before the Thanksgiving holiday, Egan spoke with the News&Guide in a phone interview to discuss storytelling, her latest literary experiment and the surprises of the success of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goon Squad.â&#x20AC;? These are some of the highlights of that conversation. The interview has been condensed for clarity.

Q: A:

What are you reading now? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m currently writing about the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;30s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;40s in New York, so all my reading has been about that time period. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never written about something outside my lifetime before. For me to write about a time and a place I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experience, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really challenging, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to get a sense for those things through books.

Q: A:

It seems like everyone is curious about the more â&#x20AC;&#x153;experimentalâ&#x20AC;? aspects of your work, particularly â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goon Squad.â&#x20AC;? Do you ever get tired of discussing that topic? If I did, I would stop talking about it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very rare to have a chance to reach so many kinds of people with a book. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the luckiest person if you get that chance once. The bottom line is, for whatever reason, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get tired of talking about this book.

that is an accurate label? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind people using it, but when I hear it I think of a kind of academic approach to writing, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not me at all. I am interested in using new forms, but it has always been in the service of telling a riproaring good story. The only way to avoid gimmickry is necessity.

What is your reaction to your new reputation as an experimental author? Do you feel

What can Jacksonites expect from your visit? Do you have a speech prepared or any ideas of what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to cover? My talks are very carefully planned, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually sit down and put it together until a few days before Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m supposed to give them so that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fresh. In this case I will be discussing my experiments with literature and the things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned from them. Since â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goon Squadâ&#x20AC;? came out, I wrote a story for The New Yorker that was serialized on Twitter before they published it in the magazine. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of updating about what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned from that experience. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really talked about it yet. I actually really look forward to that.

Jennifer Egan is always game to discuss â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Visit from the Goon Squad.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare â&#x20AC;&#x153;to have a chance to reach so many kinds of people with a book,â&#x20AC;? she said.

When you wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goon Squadâ&#x20AC;? what sort of person did you imagine would be drawn to it?

Laurie Thal Glass

My hopes for this one were quite modest. I presumed that it would only be of interest to middle-aged people. I thought it would be for people 40 and over. Time as theme would not have been of interest to me before that point in my life. But kids, actual kids, like the book. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mistake Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to be wrong about. Some book groups and people that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked to have found the book difficult. I have total sympathy for that. Most of the time

More Arts, Briefly ‘One Day in Jackson Hole’ film

The Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival is working with students, community members, nonprofits and specialinterest groups to document a 24-hour span in Jackson on Dec. 12. The project, titled “One Day in Jackson Hole 12.12.12,” is inspired by “One Day on Earth,” a crowdsourced community filming idea that began Oct. 10, 2010 — 10.10.10 — with filmmakers shooting clips in every country in the world. A meeting to discuss planning and preproduction with filmmakers will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Dec. 5 in the Center for the Arts lobby. The meeting will entail how to film using different mediums, uploading tutorials and pairing previously discussed ideas with participating organizations. Information on participating will be reviewed for newcomers. More than 20 filmmakers have agreed to capture a story on film in December. Community organizations planning to participate include Teton Raptor Center, Vista 360, National Museum of Wildlife Art, Teton Mentor Project, Latino Resource Center, College Bound Latinas, Journeys School, Art Association of Jackson Hole, Children’s Learning Center, Jackson Hole High School and River Rock Assisted Living. At the first planning meeting for “One Day in Jackson Hole” last week, several themes and ideas were presented. Think Picture Productions plans to interview four members of the River Rock Assisted Living community who remember Jackson’s early settlement stages. A local firefighter has plans to follow his team on calls for the scheduled day of filming. There is still time to submit ideas and begin preproduction, said Kori Price, Wildlife Film Festival’s marketing and design coordinator. “We are looking for people,” she added, “even if they can’t make it to the meetings.” The collection of film shorts will premiere at TEDxJacksonHole 2013 Extreme on Feb. 1 and will also be shown at a communitywide Earth Day

Public art guidelines approved

Jackson’s Town Council released the final draft of public art guidelines last week. The plan — two years in the making — includes strategies for installing more artwork in public and private spaces. It outlines rules for commissioning and maintaining the art, raising funds to purchase art, educating the public and removing artwork. The guidelines are intended to help the town create public art that maintains Jackson’s cultural heritage. Public funds will be used to improve the aesthetic quality of public spaces, stimulate arts-related economic activity, commis-

sion both temporary and permanent art, maintain the town’s existing public art collection and support nonprofit arts groups that benefit the public and promote cultural tourism. Jackson Hole Public Art requires the town to coordinate with the sevenmember Public Art Task Force to create a one-year work priority team and begin implementing the plan. A public art coordinator also will be appointed. Funds for the program will not exceed 1.5 percent of the capital improvement budget, with case-by-case exceptions.

Fundraiser for Sandy victims

More than 7,000 pounds of coats, blankets and hygiene products need to be loaded onto a truck to take to Superstorm Sandy victims in Little Silver, N.J. Alex Bontecou of Axis Gymnastics and Dan Caruso, a lineman with Jackson Hole Aviation, along with 307 Live are hosting a party at 8 p.m. Saturday

at Town Square Tavern to raise the funds to get the goods to the needy. Ten volunteers have boxed the items by categories and on Sunday will pack the boxes on a truck from Mountain Movers. Susan Murray, a volunteer with New Jersey charity For the Shore and the sister of Jackson resident Matt Deehan, will be on the receiving end. She will distribute the donations to more than 600 relocated families. “The community opened up,” Caruso said, “and gave as much as they possibly could.” Caruso needs to raise $2,500 for the truck, driver and gasoline. At the Town Square Tavern party, 25 prizes — including a pair of skis, gym memberships and gift certificates to restaurants and businesses all over town — will be raffled to raise the cash. Tickets cost $5 each, three for $10 or five for $20. Elk Attack, an indie pop folk band, will get people on the dance floor at about 10:30 p.m. Only cash donations are being accepted at this time to keep the truck’s weight limit from increasing. For information or to donate, call Caruso at 6906688 or Bontecou at 732-2947.

Science movement teaching

Through movement, Amelia Terrapin of Mobius aims to make science curriculum accessible and easy to understand for young students. For the past few years she has been working with kids in Teton County. But she wants to make her lessons available in classrooms everywhere. And she needs help. Terrapin recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $16,600 for funds to film two video pilots of the program. “These pilot videos will enable teachers everywhere to use the Mobius approach: teach highly engaging science lessons to learners of all abilities and styles through movement,” the Kickstarter campaign website says. To donate, go to Kickstarter.com and search for “Mobius videos for kids.” The campaign ends Dec. 9.

Others are ornate, true pieces of art. Some come from other countries and are generations old, chipped by time and play. Others are shiny and new. All show a similar scene: a manger, a cradle and doting and reverent people. All have unique stories — where they were made, when they were purchased, where the missing pieces are — as well as a shared story, the story of Christmas.

“It’s a chance to feel the more spiritual side of Christmas.” – Cyndie Griggs Our Common ground

People have a chance to see a variety of creches — or Nativity scenes — at Our Common Ground’s annual display. This year it’s coordinated with the Jackson Hole Chorale concert, 3 p.m. Sunday at the Presbyterian Church of Jackson Hole. “It’s a chance to feel the more spiritual side of Christmas,” said Cyndie Griggs, a member of Our Common Ground.

each year. There are people in town who collect creches and own dozens. Others may have only one that has been in the family for decades.

People are encouraged to display their Nativity scenes with note cards that tell a bit of history. “They are all lovely,” Griggs said, “and they all have a story.”

PRICE CHAMBERS / NEWS&GUIDE FILE

During the 2009 Old Tyme Christmas and Winter Celebration, Skinny Skis owner Jeff Crabtree talks about growing up in Jackson Hole. This year’s Old Tyme event will feature stories about international ski racers at Snow King.

The Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum will help the town celebrate the season the way it used to, with music and storytelling. The historical society has teamed up with the Wort Hotel for the hotel’s “Twelve Days of Christmas” series of events. Over hot cocoa and cookies Thursday evening, guests will listen to tales of Jackson winters past and Christmas carols from local musicians, including Byron Tomingas and Marco Soliz, Gene Linn and the O’Connor Family. The annual Olde Tyme Christmas and Winter Celebration has long continued the oral tradition by highlighting longtime Jackson residents with good winter stories. This year, Jim Sullivan, who managed Snow King Mountain for 27 years, will talk to revelers about the history of international ski

racing at the small resort. “It’s not so much a Christmas story,” Sullivan said, “but it’s a November story, which is why I think it’s relevant.” He said ski racers have screamed down the steep slopes of Snow King since the 1950s, when racers just called it Jackson and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort wasn’t even an idea yet. But the oldest history of something isn’t always its best history. While international ski racers stopped coming to Jackson to train for the World Cup opener at Park City, Utah, in 2009, the more than 15 years of international ski racing at Snow King is worth remembering, Sullivan said. When Park City began hosting the World Cup opener in 1996, the French team came to Jackson to train at Snow King. Then the Norwegians and the Finns came. “We even had the team from Iceland come,” Sullivan said. “We had eight nations training in all the disciplines. It was a big thing for us at Snow King.” Having those international teams practice on the Town Hill got Snow King in gear early. The mountain

opened in mid-November with snowmaking below the new Cougar Lift. And it would be busy with international practices. “It was an ideal training location for those international teams,” Sullivan said. The real highlight of Snow King’s racing history, however, coincided with Park City’s big moment: the Olympics. In 2002, Olympic skiers from all over trained at Snow King. They stayed at the hotel and ate there. Jackson was their home base. “And the athletes who trained at Jackson all did very well,” Sullivan said. They did phenomenally well, in fact. Of the 30 medal winners, nine — nearly a third — trained in Jackson. After the Olympics, international training at Snow King waned, and after 2004, it was primarily the U.S. men’s and women’s teams that practiced for the World Cup opener on the Town Hill The last time was in 2009, because Park City no longer hosts the opener, Sullivan said. But the ski racing is a rich part of the Snow King’s history, recent as it might be.

Kate Boyle, a member of Soroptimist International of Jackson Hole, decorates a Christmas tree called “The River Rocks” on Monday at the Virginian. Her creation, sponsored by River Rock Assisted Living, will be auctioned Sunday at the Soroptimists’ annual Christmas Tree Festival.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Who: Soroptimist International of Jackson Hole What: 27th annual Christmas Tree Festival When: Doors open at 11:30 a.m., auction begins at 1 p.m. Sunday Where: Virginian Lodge How much: $25 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– By Kelsey Dayton

n honor of longtime Soroptimists supporter Elizabeth McCabe, Christmas tree decorator Carol Black will adorn a tree in her memory. McCabe, co-publisher of the News&Guide, partnered with Black for more than a decade to buy ornaments and supplies for a tree Black decorated and sold at the Soroptimist Christmas Tree Festival. Proceeds from the annual event benefit Soroptimists programs that help women and girls in Jackson. Known for her photographs that graced the cover of the Valley section, McCabe died in June at age 101. One of her favorite subjects was the charismatic megafauna that often stopped by her Circle EW Ranch: moose. She photographed them browsing bushes, sipping from streams and meandering along her driveway. The “Wild Moose of Jackson Hole” tree Black plans to create will include moose of all sizes and a picture of McCabe, she said.

Black has been decorating Christmas trees for the Soroptimist festival for 27 years, since the event began. She’s created “Puppy Love” and “Mickey Mouse” theme trees, as well as one based on Dr. Seuss’ “Cat in the Hat” that fetched more than $2,000 at the festival auction. McCabe usually didn’t attend the Soroptimist festival. She spent that time of year in the Cayman Islands, Black said. But she always bought a wreath before she left to support the organization and event. Black suggested she sponsor a tree, McCabe and that began a partnership between the two women that raised thousands of dollars for the Soroptimists in the past decade. Last year, the tree Black designed and McCabe sponsored had an M&M candy theme, and it collected $2,100 at auction, Black said. This year, Black is decorating three firs: a “Wild West of Old Jackson Hole” tree for Dr. Bruce Hayse, a fun-in-thesun tree for Dr. Emy Knobloch and the McCabe moose tribute. The trees will be on display and then auctioned Sunday at the Sorop-

timist event. The day features live and silent auctions, a champagne brunch and raffles. It’s one of the Soroptimists’ two big fundraisers of the year, member Patti Randall said. The tree festival normally raises around $20,000. The money goes to women in the community, often in the form of scholarships for high school students but also to heads of households planning to further their education to help their families, Randall said. While the Soroptimists sponsor and organize the event, people from Black throughout Jackson Hole are involved. “It’s become an old-fashioned community tradition,” Randall said. Organizations like Horse Warriors and Relay for Life sponsor trees but also take on decorating, Randall said. While the main event is Sunday, the week leading up to it — when people work on their creations at the Virginian with Christmas music blaring — is an event itself, she said. Once bought at auction, the trees are often donated to St. John’s Living Center and other places around town where people can enjoy them.

A week before the auction, Randall knew of only one other planned theme: a sock monkey tree by the women in the Order of the Eastern Star. There are always surprise hits at the festival and often some touching stories. One year, a “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas” tree with wild green ornaments was a crowd favorite. A woman and her two young boys at the event fell in love with the tree, thinking it would be perfect for their annual Christmas party. But when bidding started, the price of the tree quickly escalated beyond her budget. When the high bidder asked where he should donate the tree, someone mentioned the woman and her boys who’d wanted it to so badly. So he put on a Santa outfit and made his way to her house one evening. The kids opened the door to find Santa on their door step with the tree in hand. The boys will remember that excitement their whole lives, and the woman will remember that kindness, Randall said. And that is really what the Christmas Tree Festival tries to embody. “It’s about improving the holiday season and improving the lives of others,” Randall said. “That’s what we’re all about.”

art activities will be ongoing. Cozy in and watch “Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer” and “Frosty the Snowman” on the big screen in the auditorium. From 1 to 4 p.m., children and adults can make a scratch-art snowflake, crow or dreidel ornament — all silver and blue to correspond with the new graphic novel exhibit “Silverspot,” a story about a wise, adventurous crow by Victorian-era writer Ernest Thompson Seton. Using a tool, artists young or young at heart, will scrape away blue paint to reveal designs in the silver paint underneath, said Amy Goicoechea, assistant curator of education for the museum. Festive background music will be provided by the Jackson Hole High School orchestra and the Teton Science Schools’ Journeys School choral group from 1:15 to 3 p.m. Don’t forget the camera to photograph little ones with Santa from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., and also bring along the kids’ favorite Carl the chipmunk book to have it signed by author Lynn Friess. Books by Friess will be available for purchase in the museum gift shop. There also will be a holiday card and letter-writing station and a fun, four-question scavenger hunt that will take children on a self-guided tour in search of other works of art with narratives like the “Silverspot” exhibit. Cookies, cider and hot chocolate will be provided to fuel little creative minds. Also, the National Museum of Wildlife Art will be collecting new or gently used books for all ages to donate to Teton County Library and Children’s Learning Center. “Wild about the Season is a wonderful start to the holiday season with a variety of activities that appeal to all ages,” Goicoechea said. For information on First Sundays, visit WildlifeArt.org. The next First Sunday event will be held Jan. 6.

Book Review

Cross-country guide will inspire all levels

McDonald’s® LOCALS SPECIAL ONLY

$ 99 + tax

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– “Basic Illustrated Cross-Country Skiing” By J. Scott McGhee Falcon Guides 103 pages softcover; $12.95 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– By Johanna Love

hen learning to cross-country ski or improving your technique, there’s no substitute for getting out in the snow. A new book by Scott McGhee, longtime Nordic manager at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, might be the next best thing. In a Falcon Guide volume that debuted this fall, McGhee describes dozens of techniques for starting to learn classic crosscountry kicks, improving skate-skiing efficiency and navigating hills. Photographs on almost every page by Luca Diana aid understanding and lend to the guide’s placement as part of the “Basic Illustrated” series. I’ve been cross-country skiing for 15 years on the same light touring setup and haven’t put much thought into technique since my first winter. It’s a little more complicated than walking, but not much. But when reading McGhee’s advised exercises to practice kicking, I realized my somewhat clumsy shuffle isn’t as fast as it could be. I vowed to practice once snow arrives, and then I moved on to the reason I picked up the book: skate skiing. I highly advise taking a lesson when learning to skate ski. But in my experience, the sport takes dozens of hours of practice before you’re good enough to really enjoy it. I remember exactly one moment in my first lesson when I felt like I actually “got it.” In another moment later that season, on a slight downhill grade, I felt like I was flying. Then I crossed my skis’ tails, tripping myself and Pete Rose sliding across the trail. By the end of the season, I was proficient enough to complete the Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club’s Moose Chase Marathon, and I remember having fun, although I came in close to last.

Featuring ANY Angus Third Pounder, Medium Fries and Medium Soft Drink for $5.99. Fast, Affordable and On Your Way!

In his new book, Scott McGhee shares tips for being a better cross-country or skate skier. Remember to keep a sense of humor, he advises.

Reading McGhee’s book, I found two exercises I’ve been practicing on my living room carpet. One promotes a forward body position by requiring you to lean forward until you must step to catch yourself, then repeat with the other leg. The second involves rocking from side to side, practicing complete weight transfer and balance on each leg. Wondrous. I’m hoping these carpet sessions will translate into better balance and technique on the snow. In the “Advanced Skills for Skate Skiing” chapter, McGhee describes five “gears” a skate-skier can travel in, how to execute them and when to use them. I plan to reread this chapter before and after snow sessions. Although McGhee touches on many other topics in his book, such as selecting gear and packing a repair kit, one of the other bits of advice I enjoyed most was to keep a sense of humor when setting off on skis. What to do if you fall down? Laugh, McGhee advises. “It takes some of the embarrassment and frustration out of learning to ski.”

Ebert at the Movies

Director’s poetic idealism shapes ‘Life of Pi’ –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Movie: ‘Life of Pi’ Times: 4:30, 7 and 9:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday; 2, 4:30, 7 and 9:15 p.m. Saturday; 2, 4:30 and 7 p.m. Sunday; 4:30 and 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday; running time 125 minutes Theater: Twin Cinema, 295 Pearl Ave. (733-4939) Rating: PG (for emotional content throughout and some scary action sequences) Ebert’s rating: H H H H ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

ng Lee’s “Life of Pi” is a miraculous achievement of storytelling and a landmark of visual mastery. Inspired by a worldwide bestseller that many readers must have assumed was unfilmable, it is a triumph over its difficulties. It is also a moving spiritual achievement, a movie whose title could have been shortened to “Life.” The story involves the 227 days that its teenage hero spends drifting across the Pacific in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. They find themselves in the same boat after an amusing and colorful prologue, which in itself could have been enlarged into an exciting family film. Then it expands into a parable of survival, acceptance and adaptation. I imagine even Yann Martel, the novel’s French-Canadian author, must have been delighted to see how the usual kind of Hollywood manhandling has been sidestepped by Lee’s poetic idealism. The story begins in a small family zoo in Pondicherry, India, where the boy christened Piscine is raised. Piscine translates from French to English as “swimming pool,” but in India, where many more speak English than French, his playmates of course nickname him “Pee.” Determined to put at

end to this, he adopts the name “Pi,” demonstrating an uncanny ability to write down that mathematical constant that begins with 3.14 and never ends. If Pi is a limitless number, that is the perfect name for a boy who seems to accept no limitations. The zoo goes broke, and Pi’s father puts his family and a few valuable animals on a ship bound for Canada. In a bruising series of falls, a zebra, an orangutan and the tiger tumble into the boat with the boy, and are swept away by high seas. His family is never seen again, and the last we see of the ship is its lights disappearing into the deep — a haunting shot reminding me of the sinking train in Bill Forsyth’s “Housekeeping” (1987). This is a hazardous situation for the boy (Suraj Sharma), because the film steadfastly refuses to sentimentalize the tiger (fancifully named

Literacy takes the Stage

“Richard Parker”). A crucial early scene at the zoo shows that wild animals are indeed wild and indeed animals, and it serves as a caution for children in the audience, who must not make the mistake of thinking this is a Disney tiger. The heart of the film focuses on the sea journey, during which the human demonstrates that he can think with great ingenuity and the tiger shows that it can learn. I won’t spoil for you how those things happen. The possibilities are surprising. What astonished me is how much I loved the use of 3-D in “Life of Pi.” I’ve never seen the medium better employed, not even in “Avatar,” and although I continue to have doubts about it in general, Lee never uses it for surprises or sensations but only to deepen his sense of places and events. Pi and the tiger Richard Parker

share the same possible places in and near the boat. Although this point is not specifically made, Pi’s ability to expand the use of space in the boat and nearby helps reinforce the tiger’s respect for him. The tiger is accustomed to believing it can rule all space near it, and the human requires it to rethink that assumption. Most of the footage of the tiger is of course CGI, although I learned four real tigers are seen in some shots. The young actor Suraj Sharma contributes a remarkable performance, shot largely in sequence as his skin color deepens, his weight falls, and deepness and wisdom grow in his eyes. The writer W.G. Sebald once wrote, “Men and animals regard each other across a gulf of mutual incomprehension.” This is the case here, but during the course of 227 days they come to a form of recognition. The tiger, in particular, becomes aware that it sees the boy not merely as victim or prey, or even as master, but as another being. The movie quietly combines various religious traditions to enfold its story in the wonder of life. How remarkable that these two mammals, and the fish beneath them and birds above them, are all here. And when they come to a floating island populated by countless meerkats, what an incredible sequence Lee creates there. The island raises another question: Is it real? Is this whole story real? I refuse to ask that question. “Life of Pi” is all real, second by second, and what it finally amounts to is left for every viewer to decide. I have decided it is one of the best films of the year. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Roger Ebert reviews new movies as they hit the screen.
