Welcome to

A note from the EDITOR Letter to Barron Trump.” She acknowledges the difficulties he will encounter as the son of the President and First Lady, she urges him to play outside when things get “too noisy or complicated,” and she reminds him that “trees are good listeners.”

In the wake of a volatile political storm and with spring’s promise for new beginnings, I’m wondering how Teton families are faring. Now, I’m not talking about the implications of possible shifts in health care or education funding (although I realize their importance and I’m right there with ya). But rather—how are your emotions holding up? (Frankly, mine are shot.)

Over the past few months, I’ve had heated conversations with friends, I’ve dodged bullets on Facebook, and I’ve had long talks with my kids who come home from school asking if a “bad guy” is running our country and why people hate Hillary Clinton.

I’m realizing that, after all of our ranting and raving (no matter where you stand), it’s the children’s feelings that are drowned out in the scuffle. For them, a divided country—even if they don’t immediately recognize it—is scary. There’s no warm-fuzzy in fear, anger, and hate.

So therein lies our takeaway. As a community of people whose lives revolve around the outdoors, we need to unify ourselves by embracing what feeds our souls the most: nature. (And I’m hoping this edition of Teton Family will help you with that.)

Use nature to dissolve the net of political tension that has blanketed our country. After all, your bike doesn’t care who you voted for; the bears will awaken, regardless of which party has control of the House; and your children will always choose walks in the forest over the NBC Nightly News.

Winters are long and life is too short to forget the very reason why we live here. C’mon Teton neighbors! Gather your undies (which may be in a bunch) and get outside!

A friend, fellow writer, and mother reminded me of this in her “Open

BACK in the SADDLE A Mommy-and-Me Gear Guide

By Christina Shepherd McGuire // Photographs by Ryan Dorgan

L

et’s face it—new moms need to be master multitaskers in order to satiate their brood. And after months of tending baby, kids, and everyone else, it’s prime time to put a little sanity back on your plate. Let’s see—the baby bump is, well, um, starting to recede and early toddlerhood has permitted you a loosening of the reins. Seems like it’s time for you to take your activity level up a notch!

But let’s get real.

It’s not like you can just ditch your kid and start training for a marathon. Instead, you need to carve out space in your schedule, plan things around naptime, and take your child along! Think of it like this: yoga has now become a “team sport,” running and biking requires more cargo, and hiking simply warrants a heavier pack.

(C’mon, you used to lead NOLS courses and carry an 80-pound pack. You’ve got this!) And, while a fitness timeout still requires some multitasking, there’s gear to help you ease the transition and have you looking good while you’re at it. tf

GET YOUR “COOL” ON

Teton Family ¤ Summer 2017

V

isitors from many other parts of the country are shocked to discover that most homes in the Tetons don’t have central air conditioning. So, when the temperature spikes in the mountains, we go old school: open the windows, turn on a fan, and grab a frozen treat! And here’s where the grabbing is best …

IN THE HOLE Moo’s Gourmet Ice Cream can’t be beat in the state of Wyoming.

Literally! Moo’s Wild Huckleberry ice cream holds the title of “Best Dessert in the State” by Trip Advisor, Business Insider, and The Food Network. Moo’s uses over 20 gallons of wild, handpicked huckleberries each season. You can find their homemade ice cream at their parlor on Jackson Town Square, in various Jackson restaurants, and in the freezer case at nearly every local grocery store.

Liberty Burger has milkshakes for the entire family. The kids will love the Nutella and Graham Cracker shake or their top-seller, Sticky Situation, a decadent blend of peanut butter, chocolate, and caramel.

But the real treats at this joint are the adult milkshakes WITH A KICK! The Ice Cream Sandwich milkshake contains Oreos and Bailey’s Irish Cream and the Orange Julius is made from orange juice and citrus-infused vodka.

Remember the ice cream truck? Well, in the Tetons we have the Nom Nom Doughnut Truck instead. Nom Nom serves ice cream in a doughnut cone that is so good you’ll be driving all over town looking for them. Catch their truck on both sides of the hill at Music on Main (Thursday evenings in the Victor City Park), The People’s Market (Wednesday evenings at the base of Snow King Mountain), and at every Jackson Hole Live music event.

Sophisticated palates enjoy CoCo Love’s handcrafted gelato and sorbet made by the Gelato World Cup first-place winner, Oscar Ortega. His coconut gelato is a local favorite, but he’s currently perfecting his chocolate, in an effort to retain his title. Coco Love also serves the perfect frozen pick-me-up: a traditional affogato made with stracciatella (vanilla gelato with chocolate drizzle) and espresso.

The Eskimo Bar at the Snake River Grill is the piece de resistance of Jackson frozen treats, so popular that the The Food Network featured it on “The Best Thing I Ever Ate.” They start with a layer of Sharffen Berger chocolate brownie, add a layer of housemade vanilla bean ice cream, then dip the whole thing in chocolate sauce that hardens to a thin, crispy shell. Top that with a side of warm, rich caramel sauce for a treat you’ll never forget!

IN TETON VALLEY Old-fashioned soda fountains are the way to go in Idaho and, luckily, you can pick from a pair. At the Victor Emporium, their World Famous Huckleberry Milkshake has been putting smiles on faces for over 25 years. Locally handpicked huckleberries and Idaho Falls’ own Farr’s vanilla ice cream make this treat worth your time (and time again). And their extra thick straws ensure a huge burst of berries in every sip. In Driggs, the classic Lime Freeze has topped the menu board at Corner Drug since the 1950s. But don’t ask Sally for the recipe. It’s a well-guarded secret.

Yelp rated Forage Bistro in Driggs “The Best Restaurant in Idaho” in 2016 (rightfully so). Chef Lisa Hanley’s homemade artisanal ice cream and vegan sorbet surely helped win that spot. Lemon and lavender, fig and honey, and vanilla and orange, with bits of chocolate, all make up the amazing flavor combinations you’ll find on their seasonal menu.

Whether you’re visiting from out of town or are a longtime local, there are plenty of choices for edible ways to beat the mountain heat. tf Summer 2017 ¤ Teton Family

A

themed garden is a creative approach to out-of-the-box gardening that can also eliminate the dilemma of deciding where to start and what to plant. A theme garden doesn’t have to take over your entire property, nor does it all need to happen in one season. Phew! This type of garden is an excellent springtime project to tackle with children, or for anyone wanting to make a big statement in a little space.

The following ideas can be scaled down or expanded on, depending on space, time, and energy. Make it easy by creating a hummingbird garden out of just a few plants in a big deck planter.

Or go big (while also filling your belly) by installing a whole raspberry patch as your snack garden. And it doesn’t have to end with my suggestions below. Theme gardens are limited only by your imagination.

Early Native Americans traditionally planted corn, squash, and beans together. These three crops grew so well planted next to each other that they became known as the “Three Sisters.” Today, this classic example of companion gardening, where each plant helps another, shows the benefits of mindful gardening. The corn stalks provide a trellis for the beans to climb; the beans fixate nitrogen in the soil for the corn and squash; and the squash provides shade protection for the soil of the beans and corn, while also discouraging pests with their spiny stems. Growing a Three Sisters garden is a 16

Teton Family ¤ Summer 2017

great opportunity to teach kids about plant codependency and the importance of growing your own food.

The Plants Corn: Choose any short-season variety or buy starts from a garden center, like MD Nursery in Driggs or Twigs in Jackson.

Beans: Pole beans are traditional, but bush beans work well, too.

Try heirloom purple or yellow varieties for something different.

Squash: Zucchini and yellow summer squash are the best bets for our region. (But you may have to cover them, come fall.)

The Set-Up This garden is a great one for kids because the plants grow fast and grow big! Also, the seeds themselves are relatively large and easy for little hands to handle and plant.

This garden needs its own spot with good soil and full sun. These veggies also like their soil warm, so wait until the first or second week of June to start. To begin, build up a gently sloping mound of soil. Incorporate granular organic vegetable fertilizer into the soil.

Plant the corn seeds or starts in the center. Wait a couple of weeks until the corn has grown about six inches, and then surround the corn with bean seeds, sowed directly into the prepared area. Next, plant the squash starts or seeds around the corn and beans, on the sloping edge of the mound.

Feeling hungry? Just walk out to your snack garden and forage for a few berries or veggies. The suggested plantings below require little or no chopping, washing, cooking, or fuss. Plus, snacks from the garden don’t come in plastic wrappers and are 100 percent healthy!

But the best part is the flavor. Homegrown food just tastes better!

From vine to mouth, with little or no prep, this garden fits the bill for a busy family.

After their long migration from Central America and Mexico, hummingbirds are ready to eat! So why not delight your summer senses with a backyard hummingbird haven? With their long beaks, hummingbirds sip nectar from flowers and the sugar content in the nectar keeps them coming back for more. The following plants provide a great alternative to the traditional feeder, while also enhancing the hummingbirds’ habitat.

The Plants Most of these flowers can be found at your local garden center as starts or in seed form.

Bee balm Dianthus Salvia Nicotiana Honeysuckle Callibrachoa Penstemon Nepeta Jupiter’s beard Verbena The Set-Up Hummingbirds need safe perches to rest upon, such as trees and shrubs. A nearby water source, like a birdbath or fountain, is also important. Hummingbirds are insectivores, feeding on tiny insects such as aphids, thrips, and spiders. So in addition to being aesthetically pleasing, creating a hummingbird habitat will also benefit your garden by keeping pests at bay.

The Plants My must-haves include snap peas and cherry tomatoes, but any or all of these veggies would make fine garden picks.

Apples Sugar snap or snow peas Broccoli Berries: strawberries, raspberries, currants, Carrots Radishes gooseberries, or serviceberries Cherry tomatoes The Set-Up This idea is very flexible depending on your existing garden infrastructure and how deep you want to dive. Most veggies will perform best in a raised bed in full sun. Tomatoes grow well in big containers like an EarthBox™, in a greenhouse, or even in a used plastic nursery pot. Strawberries and raspberries need a patch of their own to sprawl. And berry bushes and apple trees can be planted within your existing landscaping or set apart by themselves.

This summer, use your theme garden as a grocery store, as a habitat source, or as a classroom. By experimenting and pushing the boundaries (of both your garden and yourself), you’ll experience the joy in growing something non status quo. tf

POWER BOWLS One-bowl meals to fuel summer adventures

ha ze lnut s

M i x I t Up: Use brown rice, forbidden rice, quinoa, or freekeh instead of farro.

Substitute any kind of milk you like.

Use blueberries or raspberries in place of huckleberries. Sub toasted walnuts, pistachios, or almonds and sweeten with maple syrup or fruit butters, instead of honey.

By Annie Fenn MD // Photography by Paulette Phlipot

A

bowl provides the perfect vessel for presenting a meal that is simultaneously healthy and sustaining, yet simple and undemanding. Food just tastes better when eaten from a bowl! It’s true. In fact, psychologists have found that digging into a bowl full of food just makes you feel more satiated, especially if it’s filled to the brim.

That must be why the first step in all my quintessentially summery bowl recipes is to grab my favorite bowl—a handmade, one-of-a-kind, ceramic piece that’s as deep as it is wide. Next, I rummage through the fridge and pantry for food that fits my mood. I don’t want to heat up the kitchen or get all fussy with too many ingredients because, well, IT’S SUMMER! Cooking should be breezy and easy in the summer, so I make the most of what I pull from the garden, find in my CSA box, or haul home from the farmer’s market.

My favorite power bowls have a satisfying whole grain base. Why grains? I happen to love the toothsome texture of whole grains, as it makes the perfect bed for building a bowl meal. Plus, three servings of whole grains per day are recommended for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease prevention. (Want to fend off dementia with food? Yeah, I thought so.) And they satisfy summer hunger like no plain old salad can.

There’s a whole world of grains to discover that go far beyond quinoa and brown rice —think farro and freekeh (an ancient roasted supergrain), amaranth and barley, and my new favorite: forbidden rice. In the morning, I love a comforting bowl of farro with almond milk, seasonal berries, and nuts. Later in the day, my bowl cries out for something green, something pickled, and a good dollop of protein. A luscious sauce brings it all together and a flavor-packed, nutrient-dense topping adds texture and crunch.

Summer power bowls require a bit of advance planning. If I stock the fridge and freezer with pre-cooked grains, jars of sauces, and quick-pickled veggies ahead of time, I won’t have to turn on the oven or stove later. When hunger strikes, all I need to do is grab my favorite bowl, assemble, and enjoy. Don’t forget that these beautiful bowl meals are designed to be portable, too. So take that bowl outside and dig in under the summer sky. tf *Note: For on-the-go meals, all grains can be cooked ahead of time.

Cooked grains will store in the fridge for up to four days or in the freezer for up to three months. Just heat, combine, and serve.

THE BATTLE TO BREATHE EASY Exploring Alternative Allergy Treatments

E

very spring, our immune system gets ready for battle—standing guard against allergens and waiting to defend our bodies at all costs. These irritants come in different types of sneaky disguises that are harmless to some, but unwelcomed to nearly 26 million Americans. Some are seasonal, like spring and summertime pollens, and others are daily encounters, like dust, pet dander, and foods.

To sufferers, the symptoms are all too familiar: red, itchy eyes; a puffy, runny nose; and countless sneezing attacks—the immune system’s way of trying to rid the body of pesky intruders. All we can do is attempt to alleviate the annoyance. But how?

Over-the-counter or prescription medicines can reduce symptoms, but sometimes the results, or lack thereof, are as frustrating as the symptoms themselves. In fact, according to a report by the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, one third of allergy sufferers reported that their prescriptions just don’t work.

Cue natural remedies, such as: Ayurveda, acupuncture, Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET), and a change in nutrition. Scoff you may, but many have nixed pills and sprays for a more holistic approach that, for them, has provided a welcomed solution.

As a lifelong seasonal sneezer myself, I took a deep dive into the world of alternative allergy treatments to see what other sufferers swear by, in the hopes of saying “sayonara” to another sniffy and snotty season.

The Freak Out An allergen is typically a non-toxic substance, like pollen, that causes an inappropriate response by your immune system. And while some experience only mild discomfort, others deal with debilitating symptoms that affect everyday life (it sucks when wildflowers become your worst enemy).

If you’ve noticed your allergies seem to have worsened and/or are starting earlier, you aren’t imaging things. Quest Diagnostics, a clinical laboratory and diagnostic information company, conducted the largest study of allergy patients in the United States to date, titled “Allergies Across America” (2011). The four-year study looked at over 2 million patients, from newborns to those 70 years of age, who were tested

by Quest Diagnostics from 2005 to 2008. Their findings showed that the number of allergy patients increased by 19 percent over the four-year period, while the overall sensitization rate grew

22

Teton Family ¤ Summer 2017

by 5.8 percent, proving that allergy season is getting longer, and affecting more and more people.

The increased span of seasonal allergies could be an indicator of the global warming hypothesis. Science shows that as the earth gets warmer, pollen stays around longer. And, according to the National Center for Environmental Information, 2015 was the warmest year to date.

Getting to the Root Okay fellow sufferers, while it’s not what we want to hear, there is no instant fix to your pollen-induced symptoms. Daily pills, like Zyrtec and Claritin, may suppress them, but alternative practices go for the root cause, and begin by examining your lifestyle.

“From the perspective of Ayurveda, there is no magic pill; it is more about learning how to live it in relationship to your own unique constitution and the environment you are in,” says Suzanne Leusch, a clinical Ayurveda specialist based in Driggs.

This 3,000-year-old holistic approach looks at the balance between the five elements—ether, air, fire, water, and earth—and the three doshas, or constitutions, that relate back to the elements: vata (air and ether), pitta (fire and water), and kapha (earth and water). If one of these doshas is out of balance, your body will react. Earth and water are cold, heavy, dense, and stable. Therefore, excess kapha results in congestion, sneezing, and post-nasal drip—all common symptoms of allergies. To combat this, Ayurvedic practitioners believe in restoring your body’s balance in relationship to the most dominant dosha that presents through diet and herbs.

For an allergy sufferer, Leusch would first look at their digestion. In Ayurveda, digestive fire is referred to as agni. When agni is strong, the body can properly take in food, extract what is needed, and discard what is not. From an Ayurvedic perspective, poor digestion, or the inability to eliminate waste, weakens the immune system and the ability to respond to stress. Enter a runny nose or itchy eyes.

“If a person’s ability to eliminate waste is compromised, they are unable to counter the perceived threat, which is pollen,” says Leusch.

Leusch recommends examining your symptoms. Are you feeling dried out? Irrigate your sinuses with a Neti Pot salt-water flush, then cleanse or lubricate your nasal passages with oil. Overly runny nose? Gargle with a mix of turmeric and salt in warm water or oil to pull out the mucus.

• Nasya Oil: In Ayurvedic medicine, nasya refers to the nasal administration of medicinal herbs. A few drops of herbal oil in your stuffy nose provides lubrication and gets things moving. For allergy relief, Leusch keeps her office stocked in the spring with a nasya oil, which contains natural antihistamines and allergy-specific herbs.

mixture through a coffee filter to remove small particles. Cool, and use 1 ounce per application to rinse the eye. Rose petals are available at Jackson Whole Grocer.

Jackson, echoes the importance of balance. She encourages allergy sufferers to clean out both their internal and external environment for preventative measures: use hypoallergenic pillows, a vacuum with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, and natural cleaning products like vinegar.

For symptomatic relief, Ziem recommends using honey for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. And drink tea with herbs, like turmeric, to boost your immune system. “You should be doing this year-round for the most effective lifestyle,” she says.

The Belly of the Beast Similarly, Lorrie Lee-Wells, a nutrition practitioner at All Is Well Nutritional Therapy in Jackson, encourages people with seasonal allergies to examine their gut integrity. “If you have environmental allergies [like pollen sensitivities], you may also have hidden Family Owned & Managed food allergies that are preventing your body from handling the environment to the best of its ability,” she says.

And while this may not be everyone’s deal, it’s a good place to start. Lee-Wells encourages patients to start with a food journal.

“They may not see a direct [reaction] right away. Maybe a bagel on Monday gives you a headache on Wednesday,” she says. “Track what you are feeling and see if you can figure out what causes the symptoms.”Even if our diets aren’t causing seasonal reactions, eating nutritious foods with enough daily vitamins and minerals is directly linked to immune system health.

So, how does it work?

An allergen initiates an energy disturbance in the weakest part of the body, creating an energy block in the corresponding acupuncture meridian. This blockage then generates a sensitivity toward the given substance. NAET rebalances the energies in the body and desensitizes the response to the allergen by clearing the energy blockage instantly, as if a switch has been thrown.

NAET isolates an allergen through a series of Neuromuscular sensitivity tests, which is the body’s communication pathway to the brain. The process begins with the sufferer holding one arm parallel to the ground, while the other hand holds a bottle with the homeopathic allergen or the suspected allergen itself: cat dander, pollen, eggs, wheat, and so on. Sensory nerve endings in the fingers identify the energy of the substance being held and transmit the message to the brain through the spinal nerves. Lloyd applies a small amount of pressure against the raised arm to push it down. The patient is then instructed to match the pressure. The electromagnetic energy of the substance will either be absorbed by the body (making the arm stay strong in response) or repulsed (making the arm go weak).

Lloyd begins each new NAET treatment by testing for “the basic fifteen,” which include things like egg proteins, grains, sugar, and

calcium. The theory being, if you want to successfully fight off allergens, you first have to rid the reactive items from your daily diet.

In most cases, once you are tested and then treated for the basic fifteen nutrients, your environmental reactions will be reduced greatly.

To reset your body, Lloyd has you hold the vial of the allergen you are sensitive to. Your nervous system will go into fight-or-flight mode at this point. “While this is going on, I am doing acupressure along your spinal nerves to reset the nervous system so that the charge of the allergen is congruent to your body,” she says. Another muscle test is then done to confirm that a change has taken place. Once this is confirmed by a strong muscle test, acupuncture is performed to seal the treatment. For the next 24 hours, you are instructed to completely stay away from the particular allergen to allow your body to readjust. For seasonal allergies, timing is key so that you are able to completely avoid whatever it is you are being treated for.

So when’s the best time to start? The winter, of course.

For additional relief, or if you’re in the thick of spring sniffles, Lloyd uses another component of her practice: Chinese Medicine and acupuncture. From a Chinese Medicine perspective, blood and qi (oxygen) circulate through a complex invisible network of channels called meridians. If there is an obstruction or diminished flow of qi and/or blood, symptoms begin to develop. “My diagnosis isn’t just, ‘You have environmental allergies,’” Lloyd explains. “Instead, I measure your systems through your pulse points and say ‘Okay, which meridian system is out of balance?’” Lloyd uses thin, painless acupuncture needles to balance the flow of both blood and qi, which stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal. Similar to Ayurveda, the goal is to create balance.

Whitney Fessler, a licensed acupuncturist at Grand Teton Acupuncture in Jackson, says allergy sufferers are some of her most common patients in the spring. Ideally, Fessler would like patients to come in six weeks to two months before allergies typically hit, to help boost the immune system. But in the thick of it, she helps reduce symptoms via sinus pressure points.

As we transition into spring and summer—with pollen now in full force—I’m feeling more prepared to tackle my allergies with a new perspective (or at least explore my options beyond over-the-counter meds). One thing is for sure, though—when it comes to allergies, I know I can’t curb them overnight.

“We are on the quest for an instant fix. I think that’s why people just want to take a pill and make their problem go away,” says Jacoby.

“But so often, our allergies and health issues involve many layers.” tf

Market in Driggs, began her quest for alternative treatments in her early twenties, after a stint of adult-onset allergies left her relying on Zyrtec. Insight from friends and family led her to explore NAET, Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique. “I had family members who had personally benefited from NAET allergy treatments, so I decided to check it out,” Jacoby says. “I was allergic to all sorts of random things and slowly tackled each allergy one treatment at a time.”

A relatively young technique developed by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad in 1983, this non-invasive, drug-free way of combatting allergies has some pretty firm believers. NAET utilizes a blend of selective energy balancing techniques, Neuromuscular sensitivity testing, and chiropractic and acupuncture disciplines to treat allergens one at a time.

Lori Lloyd, acupuncture and Chinese Medicine practitioner at Elements of Health in Driggs, includes Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique as one of her specialties. “An important component of NAET is the need for advance treatment before allergy season hits,” Lloyd explains. “In the heart of the season, it can be difficult to treat.”

THROWBACK SUMMER CRAFTS REVISITED

W

hen grade school let out for the summer, my dad would pick my brother and me up in our sunny yellow Ford F250.

We’d go home, grab our stuff, and head straight to the lake. On the shores of Baylis Cove on Clear Lake is where my grandparents retired—a homestead of sorts that my great-grandfather staked out in the early 1920s. An amazing little oasis, really, that to this day I feel very fortunate to have had in my life. It was so much more than just a place. It was a portal to many worlds of adventure, creativity, and spirituality. Water (and summer) does that to a child’s developing mind and soul—it nurtures beyond imagination!

That was 1985.

Now that I am forty-something, I realize nostalgia is just that: nostalgia. But if given the chance, I’d go back for those long summer days, talking on the pier with my grandpa, waterskiing sun up to sun down, sleeping under our sprawling fig tree every night, staring at the stars and listening to the lake’s waves lap upon the pebble shore until my eyes … just … shut. I’d also relive the shady-porch sessions of creating a summer token that I could wear—like a badge of honor—all year long, reminding me of my time at the lake.

An innumerable amount of DIY crafts existed in the 1970s and ’80s that didn’t take long to make. I’m willing to bet a bunch of ladies (and probably some men) would agree that a few of these

rainbow-embellished projects are worth a redo, now that we have kids in our lives. Because, let’s be honest, as a parent it requires discipline to step away from the rushy-rush of life and just sit down with our little ones and create. It’s all about that one-on-one time together, the checking in with one another, and the listening to our child’s latest joke or what seems like a never-ending story. It’s in these moments that we, as adults, can also learn from them. And it reminds us that adventure’s hidden portals can exist anywhere, even in crafts.

That’s why there are the DIY crafts like the mystery braid; or the East Coast harbinger of summer, the sailor’s knot bracelet; or the quite fashionable way to represent your youth soccer team, the ribbon braid barrette. With a strand of leather or other sturdy material, your young Nellie Charlie needs only a place to chill out and just weave or knot.

So, in the spirit of living in the past, yet looking forward to the future (wheels turning in my head with ideas and with an overflowing craft-basket of potential materials), it’s time to climb upon Falkor’s back, glide through the universe, and head toward this season’s renditions of throwback DIY crafts. Below are instructions for two the-trails-are-muddy-and-the snow’s-no-good kidapproved crafts that you can help create with the young minds in your world. tf Summer 2017 ¤ Teton Family

1. Gather supplies and plug in the hot glue gun.

2. To make the backing for clip: Open clip, insert one color of felt. Close clip.

Trim felt, using the clip as guide and leaving a tiny bit of an edge (for gluing top felt to bottom felt). Leave felt in clip, and clip closed.

3. To make the top of the clip: Lay the clip (with the bottom-felt still closed inside), top side down on another felt piece. Trim felt around the entire clip, using the bottom-felt edge as guide.

4. Hot glue the edges and center of one side of the top piece of felt. With top-felt’s hot glue side facing up, place closed clip (with bottom-felt piece closed inside) onto glued top piece. Make sure both top and bottom felts are secured by glue to the edges. While glue is still warm, gently squeeze felt edges and center together to ensure they connect. Trim edges with scissors for a clean finish.

5. To decorate the clip: Cut out felt shapes in other colors. Hot glue your design to the top piece of felt. Optionally, use needle and thread to add designs or buttons to the top piece of felt before attaching it to the bottom. (Search the web or Pinterest for various design ideas.)

6. Once cooled, the clip is ready to doll up your favorite girl’s hair!

On the backside of your leather, 1/2” in from both the top and bottom, make two evenly spaced dots, dividing the strip into thirds. Using your ruler and pen, connect the top and bottom dots with straight lines.

Start a slit with the pocketknife on each line until it’s big enough to cut with scissors. DO NOT cut farther than the dots. The material must remain whole, with three strips lining the center.

Number the strips 1, 2, and 3. Mark the back of strip 1 and 3 with a simple pattern, so they can be distinguished from one another while braiding. (Optional) Start your braid by placing strip 1 over top of 2 from left to right. Place 3 over top of 1 from right to left. Place 2 over top of 3 from left to right. Take the bottom of braid and pass it through the back of strip 2 and 1, from left to right, pulling it all the way through and down. (At this point, you’ll have a braid at the top and a mess at the bottom. Don’t worry about the mess!) Next, pass 1 over 2. Pass 3 over 1. Pass 2 over 3. Take the bottom of braid and pass it through the back of 2 and 1, from right to left, pulling it all the way through and down (same as before). Repeat the braid pattern from the beginning, until you reach the bottom.

Adjust the braid so that it is evenly distributed over the length of the strip.

To make a bracelet, use your pocketknife to cut a small slit on one end of the braid, just enough to allow a button to pass through.

On the top side of the opposite end, hand-sew your button. Put the braid around your wrist, pass button through slit. Boom, done!

SPRING CLEAN Your Career (in 4 life-altering steps)

By Deb Barracato // Photography by Ryan Dorgan

S

pring, the season of renewal, sends many people into cleaning frenzies as they dust and declutter their homes.

It’s also a great time to take stock of your career, polish your ambitions, and redefine your professional goals. Maybe you’re in a gratifying job but fear stagnation? Or maybe you’re ready for a complete overhaul? In either case, these four steps can tip you toward professional success and satisfaction.

STEP ONE: Revamp Your Professional Image (aka “Your Brand”) Your professional image starts with your resume and online profile. The pros at The Muse, an online career resource center, recommend that you keep your resume updated, even if you have no intention of applying for a new position.

Why? Because a resume is an acceptable way to brag about your accomplishments. Maintaining a current one keeps your credentials at your fingertips, which you might need if you get nominated for an award or asked to speak at a conference.

And when the dream job unexpectedly presents itself as a real possibility, bam, you’re ready to go.

Stefanie Schroeder, the director of human resources for Victor-based CityPass, recommends keeping your resume targeted and precise. Include only information that supports your qualifications for a specific position. “Employers appreciate when a resume can convey the key skills and qualities in the most effective way,” she explains. For mid-career applicants, that means getting rid of the entry-level job from 20 years ago and the list of skills that should already be a given (such as proficiency with Microsoft Word).

Similarly, your LinkedIn profile should feel relevant and fresh.

It’s not a set-it-and-forget-it tool. It’s basically an opportunity to network with other professionals without having to change out of your ski clothes. (You probably shouldn’t meet with a roomful of financial professionals in person, while wearing stinky Capilene®.) With the same thought, you want your online style to portray you as current and on-topic.

With the rapid growth of remote positions, crafted use of LinkedIn can lead you to opportunities that let you live the mountain lifestyle, while still pursuing your professional dreams.

“A lot of people who want to live in mountain towns have specialized skill sets, but the employers there either don’t require those skills or can’t pay market value for them. So platforms like Summer 2017 ¤ Teton Family

29

those types of involvements increase your perceived value. You earn business clout for getting out in the community, connecting with other professionals, and strengthening your leadership skills.

Nonprofits abound in the remarkably philanthropic communities of the Tetons, and nearly any one would welcome your volunteer effort.

Since 2006, the Jackson nonprofit Womentum has been giving Teton women an opportunity to pursue personal growth within a much broader social network than they would have in their normal day-to-day interactions.

Though it’s not focused on professional development, the program encourages participants to set goals and develop personal leadership skills that can increase professional confidence. This type of networking experience often leads to career clarity and opportunities, explains the organization’s program director, Caryn Daus Flanagan.

LinkedIn allow people to connect with possible employment outside of their geographical area,” explains Kristi Baughman, owner of Free Range Consulting in Victor and board vice president of YellowstoneTeton Territory, a regional travel organization.

If you use Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, or any other social platform professionally, the same ideas apply.

So how do you fill in the blanks on your profile? LinkedIn includes fields for volunteer experience and professional affiliations because

spatial skills. “They did not tell me there was just one thing. In fact, I had many aptitudes and some that perfectly fit my financial background,” Bright Unfried explains. “But the key was threedimensional visualization.”

That revelation led her into a four-year process of experimentation, in which she explored disciplines ranging from sculpture to architecture to painting and etching and theater design. She even bought a little fixer-upper house to flip, doing a lot of the work herself.

But when the market fizzled, it took the fun out of the project.

At the end of all of this, she was still taking sculpture classes. “It took me a long time to find my way into it, but once I got there I knew I could be happy [sculpting].”

Bright Unfried’s new career aligned with her life goals as well, which included plenty of time for family and the freedom to relocate from the East Coast to Jackson Hole. She recommends this sort of assessment for anyone looking for career direction, but especially for those in mid-career who may need to revitalize their interest and engagement in work. “If you’re frustrated with what you’re doing and have not been fulfilled, it’s a wonderful thing to find out something [about yourself] that can help you [change direction].”

Aptitudes—your innate abilities—differ from your affinities, or your natural liking for things. Maybe you have a talent for numbers, good analytical reasoning, and a love of the outdoors. And you also feel strongly about sustainability. If so, you would likely do well with a GIS (geographic information system) career. When you can figure out how to align your strengths and interests with your personal values, you’ll gain the most satisfaction from your career.

STEP THREE: Learn Something New When you execute the same duties day in and day out, your job can quickly start to feel rote. While there’s undeniable appeal in being able to perform with confidence, too little of a challenge and it goes stale. Combat complacency by learning something new.

very much a sit-at-your-desk, face-forward, copy-what’s-on-theblackboard student.

“There is so much research on how our brains work,” says Hayley Kleyman of Jackson Hole Tutoring. “There are the old-school teachers and then there are the Journey [Schools]. But [for me], being a math tutor, specifically, and teaching math to all levels of learners—from freshman who are ready for calculus to seniors who are struggling through Algebra 1—you have to approach learning from so many angles.”

WHERE TO START “I can meet a student, talk with them for a while, and deduce that classical education is either the right fit for them, or it will destroy them,” says Kleyman. (Classical education is a learning model that is divided into three phases: the grammar stage, the dialect stage, and the rhetoric stage.)

But how can you figure that out that as a parent?

Young says that while there’s a right fit for different students, there is no right or wrong answer. She devotes a great deal of time in her classroom to trying to understand her students’ individual learning styles, and then spends the same amount of time talking to her class about the way different people learn. Young believes it’s good for students to experience other styles of learning so they can understand that this, too, is part of life.

In the summer, you can start by figuring out what kind of learner you are raising. Learning is broken down into four main categories: visual learners, learners that prefer to listen, learners that need to touch, and kinesthetic learners, or learners who like to move.

The way a kid learns is not always obvious. Sometimes it just takes a little more observation on our part. Consider asking your child to teach you something. How does your child go about the process? Does she sit down and draw you a picture? Does he tell you a story? Or does she dance around the kitchen acting out characters?

Paying attention to your child’s daily choices can also help you identify a learning style. Next time you are at a restaurant waiting for service, watch how your child occupies her time. Does she sit and draw, or, like mine, bounce off the walls and dig through the baby’s bag? Or consider what your child likes to do after school. Does he like to run around outside? Does she prefer an art class, learning a musical instrument, playing with Legos, or building forts?

Kleyman believes the best thing you can do—regardless of what style of learner you have—is foster a love of learning, whether you’re in the throes of a school year, or in the long stretch of summer break.

COOLING OFF IN SUMMER Uncovering your child’s learning style is important before wading

into a summer of learning, but first things first: Relax!

“It’s important that kids read and have a passion and motivation for learning,” says Kleyman. “But they don’t need to do fraction drills all summer,” adding that parents need to set an example that learning is fun and cool. When you set that example at home, you set your student up for success.

For teacher Kristin Johnson with the Learning Academy of Teton Valley in Driggs, learning while doing is a great habit to foster, especially in the summer. “At The Learning Academy, we believe that learning can be happening all around us, all the time, if we are aware and open to the opportunities,” she says. She tells parents to make a science lesson out of a hike or backyard playtime by taking photos and making a wildflower, tree, or bird guidebook. “You can bring a magnifying glass [along on your hike] and identify insect parts, or bring a cloud chart and learn about the different types of clouds and what they forecast,” she explains.

“Showing your kids what they can’t see in a classroom will help them develop real-world experiences that can be used to make connections later on in school,” says Mary Hietpas, a reading specialist and mother of three. She explains that trips outside of normal routines can serve a variety of learners during the summer.

If you have a child that likes to read, or a child who learns through experience, visit the zoo. Families can read the signs out loud together and participate in hands-on experiences that zoos and other educational places provide. Afterwards, draw or write a story about the day.

And that brings us to the one summer learning task that all educators stress: READING. “The number-one thing every parent should encourage, and even insist upon, is that their child reads every day during the summer; and, at the very least, for twenty minutes,” says Young. She stresses the importance of reading independently, and also reading aloud to someone, throughout the year.

But it doesn’t have to be this parent-dreaded nag fest.

“Reading is everywhere,” says Johnson. “Read trail and road signs, brochures, programs for events. You can ride bikes to the library and then head to the park to read. Hopefully, reading is some part of your daily routine already and should stay that way in the summer, especially at bedtime.”

So while your summer “curriculum” might not look like much of anything just yet, don’t stress. With some reading, a few educational outings, and a little tweak of the mindset, your kids—no matter what style of learner—will march off to school in the fall with a headful of new experiences. And if you have the bookworm type— well, I guess you lucked out!

But still, don’t forget to pack a few water balloons for your ride home from the library. tf

RECESS

PROM

One day, he will surprise you.

He will put on his own tie and take the car to pick up her flowers (though you still paid for them).

The girl is someone you have not yet met.

And you will realize it’s done.

And it doesn’t matter how many videos he watched on Saturday, or if he ate all his peas.

What does matter is that he is kind to the autistic girl in his class, and that he listens when you speak, even if he does not agree.

You will know that he is no longer yours, because he never was.
