A downright pleasant evening of owling with friends, 2B.

Leslie Jorgensen helps her sister, RoLene Whittaker, back into her chair after changing her diaper in the basement of their home in Alpine. For more than two years, Jorgensen has been the primary care provider for Whittaker as her Alzheimer’s disease has worsened.

he living room of Leslie Jorgensen’s basement in Alpine tells the story of how much her life has changed during the last five years.

Sheets stapled to the doorways create the impression of a fully enclosed space. Locks bar the door that opens into the backyard. The sound of a river meandering through the nearby mountains is barely audible, replaced by television static. A rocking chair faces the TV, which was moved from its stand to the floor so the chair’s primary occupant, Leslie’s sister, RoLene Whittaker, wouldn’t knock it down. Pictures on the wall and curtains on the windows are scarce for the same reason.

Before being diagnosed with dementia at age 55, Whittaker was an avid skydiver, with hundreds of jumps under her belt.

Longtime children’s librarian Debbie Schlinger reacts as friend Leanne Moore greets her with a card after her final Toddler Time at Teton County Library.

Literacy champion closes chapter After nearly a quarter century, beloved children’s librarian retires.

By Johanna Love

D

ebbie Schlinger sang, counted, danced and cried through her final performances of Toddler Time and Storytime on Thursday at Teton County Library.

After 24 years of championing early literacy as a children’s librarian and coordinator of youth programs, Schlinger retired. She ended her run of storytelling in front of children who didn’t realize the import of the occasion.

“I get to go camping this weekend,” Schlinger said to the Storytime audience, using camping as a euphemism for what she’ll be doing during retirement. She chose the theme of camping for the final Storytime’s flannel board illustrations and books.

She broke down during the farewell song and when fellow library employee Pauline Towers-Dykeman handed her a bouquet of flowers.

“You keep coming to the library and checking books out,” Schlinger said to the kids, wiping her eyes.

Growing up in Indiana, Schlinger always wanted to be a teacher. After graduating from college, she moved to Wyoming and began work first as a teacher’s aide, a substitute and then an English teacher at the Jackson Hole middle and high schools. During her seven years teaching, she also coached volleyball, gymnastics and track, leading the girls to a state volleyball championship. Then, in 1989, she moved to Teton County Library and started her work in the children’s department.

At a farewell party for Schlinger on Thurs-

day evening at 43 North, dozens of her former students, co-workers and friends gathered to express their thanks for Schlinger’s dedication.

Barbara Hoeft remembers how, more than a decade ago, Schlinger would be on her way out the door when Hoeft would her stop her and ask for recommendations for her then-young children.

“She would put down her purse and go and make selections for me,” Hoeft said. “That willingness to go the extra mile meant so much to me and my family.”

Now serving as the president of the Teton County Library Foundation Board, Hoeft said Schlinger’s enthusiasm for children’s literacy helped encourage donors.

“The things you did made what we do easy,” Hoeft said.

Hoeft also recalled Schlinger building excitement for the library’s summer reading programs by donning silly costumes during visits to the schools and keeping themes top secret until the last minute.

One of Schlinger’s three daughters, Amy, took the mic and said that even though their mother embarrassed her offspring with “ridiculous skits,” the devotion Schlinger showed was inspiring.

“Who else’s mom can be a gorilla, a ladybug, a detective and a safari guide?” Amy Schlinger asked. “And, Mom, all three of us are still Buggy for Books.”

On the way to attend Schlinger’s farewell party, Lynn Wegner said she ran into three parents.

The first called Schlinger a legend, the second an icon, and the third said, “What are we going to do?” Wegner relayed.

“She is magical,” Wegner said to the crowd, then turned to address Schlinger herself. “It was

never about you, it was always about the kids.

For that, we are all forever grateful.”

A handful of area school librarians, most of whom worked directly with Schlinger at the library at some point in their careers, put together a silly poem. They said the letters in Schlinger’s first name stood for Dynamic, Energetic, Bookworm, Beautiful, Ideas, Encouraging.

At the end of the remarks, Schlinger stood and thanked her friends and peers for their support.

“All my programs and Storytimes wouldn’t have meant anything if you hadn’t enjoyed them,” she said. “For 24 years, I’ve been able to do what I love and love what I do.”

Science fan lands gross dream job

LOOKING BACK

Twenty-year resident gives tours of recycling center, plots ways to keep trash from landfill.

By Kevin Huelsmann On Friday, Mac Dukart spent his morning trying to gross out a group of Teton Science Schools students at the county’s recycling center.

The students were taking a “Grossology” course at Teton Science Schools, and Dukart was tasked with showing them some of the unsavory aspects of recycling.

He took them to a fruit fly invasion that had besieged a pile of aluminum.

He showed them the pools of liquid under the conveyor belts that sort all the materials coming to the center.

That afternoon, Dukart went to a meeting about how to keep even more of county residents’ trash from going to a landfill. He’s been researching how to incorporate food composting into the transfer center.

“We were looking at coagulated paint in the morning, and by the afternoon I was working on planning for the landfill,” Dukart said after work Friday.

Dukart, who will turn 42 in November, has lived in the valley for nearly two decades. In those years, he has held just about every job imaginable.

He studied air quality and sewer issues as an intern at the Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance. He has taught in several of the valley’s schools. He has worked as an Outward Bound instructor and tracked wolverines. He has even worked as a banana farmer in Hawaii.

This year, he snagged a career.

Dukart started working at the county’s Integrated Recycling and Solid Waste Division in April. He’s the recycling and outreach coordinator.

“It’s a dark and dirty topic, but it’s so telling of a community,” he said, PRICE CHAMBERS / NEWS&GUIDE describing his interest in trash and Mac Dukart is the recycling and outreach coordinator for the county’s recycling.

45 years ago ...

Grand Teton National Park rangers attempted one of the trickiest and most complicated rescues in park history when they evacuated an injured climber from the North Face of Grand Teton. No rescue had ever been attempted from the mountain’s North Face, and the team quickly found that its only option was to lower the climber onto the Teton Glacier before airlifting him. The man suffered double compound fractures of the left leg when he was caught in an unavoidable rock slide. His climbing partner was unhurt. All in all, 14 men were involved in the operation, which one ranger later called “the most difficult rescue ever attempted from the Tetons.” In the days that followed the rescue, rangers were flown to the glacier’s top, and they established an evacuation route down it that included landing space for helicopters.

30 years ago ...

Jackson bankers and real estate brokers began realizing the positive effects of a record-setting week of trading activity on Wall Street. Over a tumultuous seven days, the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by more than 81 points, the overall level of trading exceeded 455 million shares, and federal interests rates plummeted like the stock exchange circa October 1929. Financiers across the valley jubilantly proclaimed a foreseeable end to the summer recession and prepared for a surge in the market demand for housing, which had been struggling mightily throughout the year. ... A man allegedly blinded by bouncers at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar settled a lawsuit against the establishment, walking away with an unspecified amount that exceeded $1 million. During the initial hearing, the man’s attorney attempted to re-create the incident by kicking a witness over the jury box rail into the jurors. The judge was outraged. After holding him in contempt of court, he declared the case would not proceed until the plaintiff’s attorney paid his opponent’s court costs, which amounted to nearly $37,000.

15 years ago ...

Reports of people loitering and sleeping in Miller Park for extended periods of time prompted town officials to consider banning alcohol there. The issue was tricky, as Jackson’s vagrancy and loitering ordinances had been rendered unconstitutional under recent federal court rulings, making it illegal for police to roust people for simply hanging out.

While the number of individuals lounging around induced mild unease in residents and officials alike, banning booze was about the best they could do. The town’s open container law contained a loophole allowing residents to drink in several public places, including Miller Park. ...

Driggs, Idaho, was included in a Men’s Journal write-up on the country’s “dream towns.” The story came on the heels of a story in the Wall Street Journal labeling the valley west of the Tetons a hot real estate market. Both drew the ire of Driggs residents who valued the town for its quiet and anonymity. In his article, the writer subtly complimented the town, saying, “Despite a name that makes it sound like stuff scraped off the bottom of something, Driggs is the epicenter of Teton Valley.”

Needless to say, be sure to leave a few for the bears, as well as your neighbors. Most importantly, do not pull the bushes up or break them off. Bushes take many years to grow large enough to support fruit.

Wildflower of the Week: Harebell As the cold shuts down the growing season, one of the last wildflower bouquets to grace my kitchen table is a tiny vase of pretty blue harebells.

You see, although harebells appear delicate, with drooping bell-shaped 3/4-inch blooms atop multiple hairlike stems, the plants are much hardier than they look.

I have found paper-thin harebell blossoms well into September and even October, even after hard freezes have transformed other plants into the brown and tan colors of fall.

Harebells grow in a variety of habitats, in sun or shade, on rocky slopes and in woods and meadows. I find the best place to spot this wildflower is along dry road cuts.

If you are hiking in the park, you may notice that harebells, which can be a foot tall in the valley, grow shorter and shorter as you climb in elevation.

People Four years after an advertisement for her services landed on the “The Tonight Show,” valley urologist Lisa Finkelstein finally met show host Jay Leno.

Finkelstein said her parents discovered Leno was booked to perform his comedy show in Atlantic City, N.J., in mid-August, coinciding with the family’s trip to the Jersey shore. Finkelstein called Leno’s assistant, whose phone number she had saved from her previous interactions with the NBC celebrity, and finagled a meet-up.

On Aug. 11, about half an hour before Leno went onstage at The Borgata Hotel, she and husband Marc Domsky were ushered to a room backstage.

Finkelstein brought a shoulder-length rubber glove with her as a gag, and the three chatted for about five minutes. They recounted how Finkelstein’s urology advertisements got on the show to begin with: Leno joked about Finkelstein’s ad campaign, and Finkelstein got even by commissioning area artist Greta Gretzinger to draw a caricature of Leno getting a prostate exam. The gag got her ad on national television for a second time.

Meeting Leno “closed the loop,” Finkelstein said Monday. “I think my claim to fame is up. [The ads] have done their job for sure.”

Biologist John Stephenson shows Latino students how to track radio-collared wolves Thursday afternoon in Grand Teton National Park.

Pura Vida Latino kids learn about Teton park.

By Brielle Schaeffer

B

efore last week, 12-yearold Daniel Guevara had never been to Grand Teton National Park. The Jackson seventh-grader didn’t know what he’d find there, he said, didn’t know where to go.

But after participating in the park’s Pura Vida program, Daniel is practically an expert.

One of a dozen kids in the fiveday program, he went canoeing and camping, learned about wolf research and saw firsthand what park employees do.

In its third season, Pura Vida links Latino children and their families to the park’s attractions, said Vanessa Torres, Grand Teton’s youth and diversity outreach coordinator.

Pura Vida is offered once during spring break and twice in the summer — once for middle schoolers and once for high school students.

The program was designed

by Teton Science Schools and Grand Teton National Park. In 2009, park officials met to talk about getting Latinos involved

in the park. Visitors have been mostly white and middle-aged, Torres said.

“By 2020, the minority is going to be the majority,” she said.

“The demographics in America are changing, yet our visitors are not.”

Park officials also learned about barriers preventing Latino families from visiting, Torres said. Some Latino families didn’t know about Grand Teton’s recreational opportunities. Others thought there was an immigration office in the park or were hesitant to show their identification, she said.

“Our uniforms resemble border patrol uniforms,” she said.

By exposing children to park resources, officials hope they will bring their families back to enjoy them, she said.

“We need to engage this new population to remain relevant and to have places like national parks exist,” Torres said.

Pura Vida has given 13-yearold Jamie Vargas a feel for the park and how important it is, she said.

“My dad won’t go camping because he’s scared of bears,” Jamie said. “Since we know how the place is now, it gives us a chance to tell our parents

With help from friends, Aline Garcia, 12, tries on a National Park Service hat during a tour of the new park headquarters.

about it. ... I’m planning on bringing my family here.”

Each student in the free program, sponsored by the Grand Teton National Park Foundation, receives a park pass.

“It’s our park too, as well as everyone else’s,” Jamie said.

Irais Quiroz, 12, said she wants to bring her family to String Lake for picnics.

“It’s really pretty out here,” she said. “I just didn’t know about it.”

On Thursday, the kids learned about jobs in the park.

They toured an ambulance and talked to ranger Jim Dahlstrom. They sat in the back of Dahlstrom’s vehicle and played with the car’s microphone.

“Let’s roll, guys,” one camper said over the loudspeaker.

The kids asked Dahlstrom about his scariest time as a ranger. He told them about the time a guy in a campground at another park was threatening

people with a machete.

“We almost had to shoot him,” he said. “Most people who visit ... are pretty good.”

Yair Sanchez, 15, was a mentor for the Pura Vida program.

He has attended the program since it started in 2010, he said.

“I started just like them,” he said, motioning to the campers. “I thought it was a really fun experience. Once I started knowing it better, I started doing more.”

He recruited several of his younger cousins for Pura Vida this year, he said.

“We are really fortunate to actually have it in our backyard,” Yair said about the park. “We should take advantage of what we have. Not everybody has it.”

Students also toured the new Grand Teton National Park headquarters to see the behind-the-scenes jobs.

“Every department here is

really important and makes this place run,” Torres told the campers. “We have so many different jobs people don’t know about.”

A grizzly sighting closed Moose-Wilson Road, so campers went to the Taggart Lake trailhead for lunch. There they snacked on homemade chicharonnes and fried pasta Yair’s grandmother made. They giggled and chatted in Spanish between bites. Then they learned about wolf telemetry from wildlife biologist John Stephenson.

“That’s the way we study these guys,” Stephenson said.

They tried on the collars used to track wolves and got to listen to the canines via an antenna and radio.

Pura Vida is “by far my favorite program I’ve worked this summer,” Teton Science Schools educator Rachel Shaffer said. “These kids are great.

They’re so excited to be here.”

Library to close Sept. 3-19

As Teton County Library enters its final phase of construction, it will close for Labor Day on Sept. 3 and remain closed through Sept. 19. When the library reopens at 10 a.m. on Sept. 20, library patrons will have access to three new study rooms.

Renovations, meanwhile, will continue with crews working on the new west reading area, installing a fireplace and adding windows to the south side of the building to create a cozier place for seating, reading and connecting to the outdoors. The addition and renovation will be completed in February.

“We’ve worked hard to keep the library open to the community throughout the construction process,” said Deb Adams, library director. “So, some of our temporary spaces have been tight.

Now that we’re in the final stretch, I’m looking forward to unveiling all of the library’s new features in February 2013.”

Though construction is still under way, library lovers are already enjoying the new Teen and Children’s Wing, a new computer center for adults and a new lobby. The library also has a new second entrance, accessible from the START bus stop on Snow King Avenue.

Just follow the sidewalk through the library’s newly landscaped backyard and check out the whimsical willow fence around the children’s yard, which will provide an outdoor spot for programs.

Architects on the project are Gilday Architects with Humphries/Poli Architects, and construction manager is GE Johnson.

Although librarians will not be available for reference help or other library services during the closure, patrons can use many online resources via the library’s website, TCLib.org. Use your library card number and PIN to access library databases and your personal library card account, download books from the library’s ebook collection and read staff reviews.

Some library programs will continue to happen at off-site locations during the closure. See the library online calendar, TCLib.org/calendar, for event information during the closure and throughout the month.

No checked-out library materials will have due dates during the closure except for interlibrary loan materials borrowed from outside of Teton County.

These may be returned at any time in the library book drop, located just outside the library entrance. Patrons are

encouraged to hold on to materials that are not due back until the library reopens. This will minimize the number of materials that need to be reshelved during the closure.

Visit TCLib.org/Addition for updates.

Outside mag likes UW

Opportunities to participate in activities ranging from rock climbing and fly-fishing to whitewater kayaking and cross-country skiing have landed the University of Wyoming in Outside magazine’s rankings of its top 25 schools.

UW is ranked 15th in the list of schools that appeal to the magazine’s readers.

“We know what our readers look for in any kind of experience: adventure, grit, sweat, a worthy struggle, tested endurance, goose bump-inducing views, wide-open skies, maybe some roiling water,” the article reads. “So why should college be any different?

It shouldn’t.”

But to compile the list, the magazine relied on more than just the exhilaration of its readers. It developed a methodology designed to capture all possible aspects of an institution’s ability to cater to “your adrenalinerush cravings.”

It found what it was looking for at UW, citing the university’s proximity to national forest lands and the numerous experiences offered through the Outdoor Program (UWyo.edu/rec/ outdoor-program/index.html), including domestic trips and wildernessleadership programs, which take participants into the backcountry year round. The free Friday-night bouldering experience was cited, along with trips to Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon.

“Incoming freshmen can choose from six outdoors trips (backpacking, caving, mountain biking, rock climbing, canoeing or a wilderness service project) to meet new friends and bond with classmates,” according to the article. “More seasoned students can earn Wilderness First Responder or scuba certification, borrow from the bike library or rent from a wide selection of gear, ranging from $2 for a bear canister to $38 for a canoe.”

Outdoor Program coordinator Dan McCoy is thrilled with the press.

“This is fantastic,” McCoy said. “It’s great that a national publication recognizes the services and recreational opportunities that we offer to students, such as our wilderness orientation program and summer outdoor experiences.”

The magazine also cites academic programs in recreation and park administration, botany and zoology, where students help manage a fishery. It notes the non-credit lessons in areas such as fly-fishing, cross-country skiing and avalanche safety, and mentions UW’s agreement with the National Outdoor Leadership School for crossover classes, allowing students to go abroad to study adventure topics for credit; a backpacking course in Australia is a popular option.

Jackson Hole families could receive up to $5,000 to help pay for a child’s medical expenses through a grant available through the UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation.

The money can be used for a wide range of medical services and equipment, including surgeries, prescriptions, therapy, counseling services, wheelchairs and eyeglasses. To qualify, a child must be under the age of 16.

Families must meet economic criteria.

For a family of two, total income must be $50,000 or less to apply. Last year, the foundation awarded $648,000 to 248 families across the West.

Those interested can apply online at UHCCF.org.

Ecowatch Isa Lake Bridge to be rebuilt

To prepare a plan to reconstruct the historic Isa Lake Bridge at Craig Pass, Yellowstone National Park is seeking public comment by Friday.

Located at the Continental Divide, the 70-year-old bridge spans Isa Lake on the road connecting Old Faithful and West Thumb. In September 2010, the Federal Highway Administration determined the structure needs to be replaced.

Yellowstone is considering a range of alternatives, including complete reconstruction and smaller renovations. Go to ParkPlanning.NPS.gov/yell for an overview of the plan and instructions on how to comment.

Colter Bay Indian Art Museum needs a new home because of a redesign plan for the Colter Bay area that leaves it out. Its location must be in the park.

Give input on Colter Bay work

Grand Teton National Park is accepting comment until Sept. 13 to shape a redesign of Colter Bay Village.

Redevelopment plans released in an environmental assessment show a new, smaller visitor center and a smaller footprint overall.

Under the park’s proposal, the existing visitor center will be razed and replaced nearby with a “smaller visitor contact station,” the document said. The facility “would have about 60 percent less overall indoor space than the exist-

ing visitor center and would not include an Indian arts museum or a theater.”

Grand Teton estimates the preferred alternative will cost about $9.5 million.

Three other options are included in the environmental plan.

Copies of the Colter Bay proposal are available online at NPS.gov/grte/ parkmgmt/planning.htm. A comment form can be accessed on the same site.

Plan released for uranium mine The BLM has released a environmental impact statement for a uranium

project in Sweetwater County about 40 miles northwest of Rawlins.

The plan is not a final decision document; written comments will be accepted until Sept. 17.

The Lost Creek uranium project encompasses 4,377 acres, though no more than 345 acres will actually be disturbed. The plan includes well pads for injection, production and monitoring, wellhead houses, a central processing facility, an access road network and pipeline system.

The nearby Jeffrey City area was mined for uranium starting in the 1950s, but a price drop in the 1980s halted production.

Comments may be emailed to Lost_ Crk_Mine_WY@blm.gov, or mailed to the BLM Rawlins Field Office, Lost Creek Final EIS Comment, P.O. Box 2407, Rawlins, WY 82301.

For information, call John Russell at 307-328-4252.

Comment on Shoshone plan

After eight years and more than 75 public meetings, Shoshone National Forest officials have released a new draft forest plan and draft environmental impact statement.

The public is encouraged to submit comments during the 90-day comment period. The deadline is Nov. 1.

The draft plan and environmental impact statement are available at FS.USDA.gov/shoshone and also at libraries and ranger district offices near the 2.4 million-acre Shoshone.

To request the documents in hard copy or on a compact disc, call the forest supervisor’s office at 307-527-6241.

An album in RoLene Whittaker’s home contains many pictures of her life as a thrill-seeker, including this image from a bungeejumping adventure, before being diagnosed with dementia at age 55. She also was an avid skydiver.

Registered Nurse Brenda Kentner of Access Home Care talks with RoLene Whittaker as Certified Nursing Assistant Martha Guerrero prepares the next bite of Whittaker’s breakfast. While Whittaker’s sister, Leslie Jorgensen, is her principal caregiver, professional assistance is a godsend when dealing with Alzheimer’s disease.

focus on the picture or the story,” Jorgensen said. “At first we had to tape up the buttons because she’d be pressing them so much we wouldn’t have a picture anymore.”

Whittaker was diagnosed with dementia of the Alzheimer’s variety at the age of 55. Now 61, she has reached the advanced stages of the disease. It has robbed her of her basic motor skills and made walking without assistance difficult. A woman who made hundreds of skydiving leaps in her younger years has involuntarily traded the freedom of the heavens for the confinement of a basement. She needs round-the-clock aid from her family and professional caregivers to get through the day.

But like many Alzheimer’s patients in the advanced phases, she has moments of awareness, flashes of verbal coherence.

Signs and symptoms Early, specific indicators of Alzheimer’s include the following: - Memory loss: forgetting recently learned information, increased use of memory aides, constantly misplacing things - Cognitive lapses: general confusion, difficulty solving problems, following instructions, completing routine tasks like paying bills, recording television shows or balancing a checkbook - Time or place confusion: forgetting important dates or events, visual and spatial disorientation, having trouble understanding something if it’s not happening immediately - Communication breakdown: losing trains of thought, struggling with vocabulary, repeating oneself frequently - Poorer judgment: less attention to appearance and hygiene, making unconventional financial moves - Personality changes: withdrawing socially, losing interest in hobbies, experiencing mood swings and sudden feelings of anxiety, irritability or depression SOURCE: Alzheimer’s Association

When Jorgensen asks herself out loud if her husband is working outside, her sister answers, “I think so. It’s OK to go out.”

Jorgensen has been her sister’s primary caregiver for more than three years. And while she knows no two days are the same, she prepares for the unexpected. She knows she needs to keep the bathroom cabinets locked, to buy easy-to-swallow foods and to let someone else lift her sister when necessary.

Whittaker’s family began worrying about her in 2007 during her father’s funeral in Utah, where she served as the executor. She seemed distracted, and she struggled noticeably whenever she had to read something. Two years later, her ex-boyfriend ran into her in a Kmart, and she appeared lost and couldn’t find her car. She began falling behind on her bills, forgetting to pay them or signing her checks improperly. She sent $4,000 for a $400 car payment. Normally punctual and detail-oriented, Whittaker began showing up late for work and missing meetings. Her employers suspected drug use, and she was eventually let go.

By late 2008, Whittaker was eating as infrequently as once every three days. Her finances were a catastrophe.

She had been jailed after an officer pulled her over and attributed her slow and aimless driving to being under the influence. It became clear her declining mental state had left her unable to take care of herself. She had been living in northern California, and obtaining full-time professional care was too expensive. So Jorgensen helped her move to Wyoming and took her in, an act of compassion that has drastically changed her life.

“It’s tough to put into words what you go through as a caretaker,” she said. “It takes so much time and effort, along with the pain and frustration of watching a loved one deteriorate. I’ve had to learn as I go, like a new mother has to learn to raise her child.”

In the early stages, Whittaker could still communicate and get around the house. But as her condition worsened, she became uncharacteristically combative and destructive. She took to dismantling furniture and ripping decorations off the wall. She suffered from insomnia and

would roam the house at all hours. When she did sleep, it was rarely without tearing the bedclothes apart first.

Whittaker once followed her dog, Scully, down to the river and couldn’t find her way back. Unable to recall phone numbers, she dialed her sister’s husband using the voice-command feature on her cellphone. When he answered, she calmly explained she was in the river, and would he please come get her?

Becoming disoriented and experiencing mood swings are common symptoms of middle-stage Alzheimer’s. The family consulted medical professionals. But when Whittaker began taking medicine to mitigate those symptoms, she suffered a seizure, so they discontinued the drugs.

When her sister moved in, Jorgensen and her husband were working full time. They took frequent hunting and camping trips. Their five children and 10 grandchildren could visit as they pleased. But as the disease gradually consumed Whittaker, family outings and visits grew less feasible. There was always the danger of her wandering off or getting hurt if left unsupervised.

The difficulties of squaring Whittaker’s outstanding car payments, medical bills and mortgage to creditors in California fell directly on Jorgensen, who acknowledges that the stress may have affected her performance at work. She began to have to use her sick days to cover her sister’s various appointments. But she never complained. And though she no longer holds the full-time job she had in 2010, Jorgensen never faults her sister.

Jorgensen’s devotion is unwavering and her gratitude for the help of her husband and the professional caregivers from Access Home Care and Hospice, who arrive at 7:30 sharp every morning to feed, shower and provide some extra company. The daily struggles can be grueling, but they can also bring people together.

“I couldn’t do it without my husband,” Jorgensen said.

“And the girls in the morning are great about helping me relax then and keep tabs on her health issues.”

Sandy Dillon, one of Whittaker’s professional caregivers, said the challenges of the job yield fulfillment in their own right.

strapping on her cross-country skis this winter. She and her husband, who has been a rock of support since Mallory’s diagnosis, enjoy an active social life.

She just needs a little reintroduction sometimes.

But no matter where Mallory’s day takes her, Marylou Amendola is sure to be close by. Amendola is her shadow, shopping partner, outdoor companion, facilitator and friend. She began working with the Mallorys 10 months ago.

She wasn’t hired to live with them, just to help with the logistics of moving to Jackson from Florida. She now lives with Patricia Gomez, the Mallorys’ cook and helper, in an upstairs suite in their house.

“I never expected my stay to be this long,” Amendola said. “I have a husband back in West Palm Beach. But you get so involved, leaving feels like walking away from your own family.”

Above all else, caregiving has given Amendola a renewed perception of what it means to be patient. The biggest challenge is recognizing the need for repetition — she keeps three calendars of daily events — and not asking questions that force Mallory to recall specific incidents. She has had to learn when and how to give Mallory her privacy while helping her with much of her daily routine.

Never one to be waited or doted on, Mallory shares a special bond with Amendola, driven by a mutual love of the outdoors and transcending any sort of employer-employee relationship.

“Sometimes it’s tough getting accustomed to having other people live with you,” Mallory said. “It’s like you all of a sudden you have a new sister you have to get along with. And you really have to work together. But when they’re extremely thoughtful and willing to help, it works.” _________________ Whether they are relatives or professionals at the beginning, caregivers for people who have Alzheimer’s become family at the end.

million people nationwide — bound by sacrifice and selflessness. Caregivers provide the people they look after one more reason to keep fighting, often just by showing up and talking.

Erin Crow has experienced this firsthand. The former activities director at River Rock Assisted Living, Crow is one of several caregivers for a Jackson man in his 70s who is battling Alzheimer’s. The man, a former Jenny Lake climbing ranger, loves going into Grand Teton National Park and identifying peaks his memory still clings to, and Crow takes him a couple times a month. Simple companionship, profound impact.

“Family members sometimes see what’s been lost in a person, but caretakers can see what’s left,” Crow said. “Caretaking is the most rewarding thing in my life. Everyone has their own techniques with it, but knowing your limitations is just as important.”

In 2011, caregivers provided more than 17 billion hours of unpaid services for the 5.4 million Americans

suffering from the disease, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Families administering aid at home constitute about 80 percent of the caregiver population. Nearly a third of that group has reported symptoms of depression. More than half has reported high levels of emotional stress.

The toll Alzheimer’s exacts can be financial as well as psychological. In 2012, the total cost of providing care to those living with the disease is projected to exceed $200 billion. Based on industry numbers and the current minimum wage, the Alzheimer’s Association rated the economic value of unpaid hours of caregiving services at about $210 billion.

In Wyoming, the number of people 65 and older living with Alzheimer’s increased by 43 percent between 2000 and 2010. The association lists more than 10,000 cases throughout the state, with about half living in nursing homes or assisted-living residences.

Researchers have identified some common characteristics associated

If you or a family member is suffering from Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, the community is here to help.

St. John’s Institute for Cognitive Health, an affiliate of the University of Utah Center for Alzheimer’s Care, Imaging and Research, can assess and develop an integrated continuum of care plan for anyone in Jackson Hole struggling with memory impairments. Led by Dr. Martha Stearn and Carol Taylor, LCSW, the institute offers brain screenings, memory assessments and counseling for patients and families.

They work directly with primary care providers, as well as physical, speech and occupational therapists around the community. The ladies will be speaking on memory loss and expounding on the institute’s mission at 9:45 a.m. Saturday during the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. with the lapses in memory and other cognitive processes, most notably the accumulation of a protein-like substance called beta amyloid. When broken down inadequately, beta amyloid fragments form hardened “plaques” that become attached to nerve cells in the brain, gradually breaking down the tissue.

At the heart of Alzheimer’s research is the quest to determine what causes the brain to begin breaking down the substance improperly. But the recent efforts of major pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs that either clear beta amyloid plaques or prevent their formation have come up short. While researchers generally agree that a link of some type exists between Alzheimer’s and beta amyloid buildup, it hasn’t been labeled the definitive root of the problem.

Alzheimer’s is an epidemic. It’s the sixth-leading cause of death in America. It’s an ailment that turns cognition into confusion and loved ones into strangers. But it’s not something that should be fought alone.

Joe Reeb

COURTESY PHOTO

Reeb, 58, launched businesses, loved hikes In accordance with Joe Reeb’s outgoing nature and love of entertaining, a celebration of his life will be held at 1 p.m. Sept. 8 at the Reach Foundation, 622 N. 8th St. W. in Riverton. Reeb died Aug. 2 at home in Jackson Hole. He was 58. The following was provided by his family.

Joe was born July 9, 1954, to Mary and George Alvin (Jerry) Reeb in Riverton.

Joe spent his life proving he could excel at everything he set his mind to do. He began his entrepreneurial career at age 9, when he started hosting backyard carnivals and selling worms to local fishermen.

While in high school, Joe began his first career at Sears. He maintained his employment with Sears throughout high school as well as his college accomplishments, which led him to Cheyenne and Denver. After obtaining his degree in Denver, he relocated to Casper, where he used his entrepreneurship skills full force to create the highly successful businesses Rent to Own and Cost Plus Appliances in 1980.

Joe continued to build and grow his business throughout Wyoming and Montana. He had a passion for business and a true love of real estate. His love of real estate fueled his love for travel.

Joe’s adoration of hiking and the outdoors led him to begin to split his time between Casper and Jackson Hole. He loved any outdoor adventure and could hike for days!

Joe was an extremely generous man. His heart warmed in sharing with blessings through Ryan’s Friends, the Casper Humane Society and playing secret Santa in Casper and Jackson Hole.

One of Joe’s strongest heartfelt passions was time with friends and family. He had a soul-tickling laugh, and he knew no strangers. He delighted in cooking, hosting and entertaining, and everyone was always welcome, the more the merrier.

He is survived by his father, George (Jerry) Reeb; four brothers and their spouses: Larry and Gloria Roemmich, Ronnie and Stephanie Roemmich, Donny and Linda Roemmich and Pat and Linda Reeb; his sister and her husband, Mary Ann and Bob Foster; several nieces and nephews; and his beloved feline, Raga Muffin. He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Reeb.

In lieu of flowers, condolences can be made in the form of donations to two of Joe’s favorite charities: Jason’s Friends Foundation, 340 W. B St., Suite 101, Casper, WY 82601 or Casper Humane Society, 849 East E St., Casper, WY 82601.

Jackson Hole resident Michael Robert Fields, past exalted ruler of Elks Lodge No. 1713 and chef extraordinaire, died Aug. 7 after a difficult fight with cancer. He was 56. The following was provided by his family.

Mike enjoyed camping and fourwheeling with his loving wife of 32 years, Cindy. He was a hero to his children, Jason and Leslie. Mike was a fantastic Papaw to Alex Michael and Levi Wyatt. Mike was a terrific big brother with a talent for teasing his younger brother and sister, Drew and Karyn. He was a loving son to his parents, Robert and Sandra Fields. He had many great and longtime friends in and around the valley.

Mike was born in Denver. He lived in a number of states but fell in love with Wyoming and chose it as his home. Mike had a giving heart and was closely involved in his family, community and nature. Mike never met a stranger and never lacked for jokes that would make you smile.

Mike’s love of cooking started at Daylight Donuts in 1982. His in-laws, Robert and Vera Arthur, started the business, and Mike began serving his own special recipes for lunch.

He continued his career by being a hunting camp cook for Triangle X Ranch. From there, he went to Tags Restaurant. In 1992, Nora Tygum hired him to work at Nora’s Fish Creek Inn. Nora gave him reign of the dinner menu, and he began to blossom as a chef. In 2003, he and Cindy were hired at Flat Creek Ranch, where he became the personal chef for all the guests. He enjoyed being able to talk to everyone as he was cooking, and he always had a story and many jokes to tell. Since 2009, he had been a personal chef and caretaker for a private residence.

Mike’s love for the Elks Club was

apparent by the many years of service he gave it. He cooked Friday night dinners and did countless benefits, holiday dinners and catering. He was the inspiration and backbone of the food booth for the World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb for the Jackson Hole Snow Devils.

His entire family and circle of friends will miss him dearly.

He will live on through his loving wife, Cindy; son Jason (Jessica), grandsons Levi Wyatt and Weston Arthur Fields; and daughter Leslie and grandson Alex Michael. His mother, Sandy, preceded him in death. He is survived by his father, Robert Fields, sister Karyn (Dave) Castles, brother

Andrew Fields, in-laws Robert and Vera Arthur, Lennis and Teresa Arthur, Yvonne Arthur and Brian and Lori Beck, and nieces and nephews Jared and Jenny Arthur, Jessica and Alesha Beck and Savannah and Colten Castles.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Elks Lodge No. 1713. In celebration of his life, a service will be held at 11 a.m. Oct. 6 at the Elks Lodge.

King, 78, developed Rafter J, Aspens Floyd King, a longtime resident of Jackson, died Aug. 12 in Billings, Mont., from complications of Parkinson’s disease. He was 78. The following was provided by his family.

Floyd was born to James and Afton Hoyt King on July 1, 1934, in Salt Lake City. The second of five children, he grew up in Reno, Nev., and Ogden, Utah. He graduated from Ogden High School.

Floyd spent two years in the Army, from 1954 to 1956, and was stationed in Stuttgart, Germany, as part of the occupation army. After his discharge, he returned to the University of Utah and graduated with a degree in banking and finance. He then enrolled in and graduated from the University of Wyoming Law School. He met Kay Reber at UW, and they were married in 1960, during his senior year.

While Floyd was in undergraduate school, he spent one summer in Jackson. Anna and Burns Ferrin were kind enough to let Floyd and his friend “Whitey” stay in an old log cabin. Asked if it had running water, Floyd said it did when it rained, but he couldn’t remember if there was a sink. Floyd and his friend stacked hay (which didn’t stay up) for Burns, bussed tables at Moore’s Open Range and pumped gas at the station on North Cache. There were only two or three other college students in Jackson that summer.

In the spring of 1962, Floyd and Kay moved to Jackson, where Floyd opened a law office over Jackson Drug, with Kay as the secretary, struggling with an old portable typewriter and sheets of carbon paper.

There were three other lawyers and two doctors in Jackson at that time.

Floyd King

COURTESY PHOTO

Floyd was active in the Jackson community for the next 35 years. He served for varying length of times as the U.S. magistrate for Grand Teton National Park, attorney for the town of Jackson and attorney for the school boards before and after they consolidated. He was elected county attorney and was paid a salary of $300 a month. He also served on numerous boards and as president of the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce. He enjoyed his association with the local politicians and businessmen. It was an interesting time in Jackson, and Floyd had many great stories to tell, often illustrating with his dry wit.

And, of course, there were many stories about which he had to keep quiet. Jackson had more than its share of eccentrics.

Floyd and friends Jerry Wilson and Chuck Lewton developed Rafter J, and Floyd and Chuck developed the Aspens. It was hard work, but they

were proud of how well the subdivisions turned out.

Floyd never backed down from a challenge. He climbed the Grand, became a certified scuba diver, obtained his pilot’s license and owned a Cessna 210. He was one of the founding directors of Arts for the Parks, a nationally known art competition. For 11 years he, Paul Von Gontard and another partner owned a small hotel in Costa Rica called Hotel Sugar Beach.

He and Kay made numerous trips to Costa Rica, thoroughly enjoying the beautiful country and the ‘Ticos.”

In 1997, he retired from the law business and moved to the family’s Porcupine Butte Ranch at the base of the Crazy Mountains in Melville, Mont. He was active in the ranch operation and enjoyed Montana and being able to watch the grandchildren’s soccer and baseball games.

He had great memories of his time in Jackson and the many friends made over the years. He especially enjoyed golf, skiing and the picnics and boating on Jackson Lake with family and good friends.

Floyd is survived by his wife of 51 years, Kay; son Bret (Susan) King, of Jackson, daughter Susan (Robert) Harrick, of Redding, Conn., and son Steven (Kaonii) King, of Melville, Mont.; grandchildren Jessica, Austin and Annika, of Melville, Bradley (Mallory), of Seattle, Spencer and Jordan, of Jackson, and Michelle (Brady) Crawford, of Alpine; and great-grandchildren Miles and Avery, of Alpine. He also is survived by brothers James, Randall, and Todd and sister Donna King.

The family gathered for a memorial service Sunday on the top of Porcupine Butte.

River Rock’s new health care coordinator, Alison Sabens, and manager of business development, Kate Boyle, have made the move to Jackson with their families from Memphis, Tenn., to become part of the crew. The center has no shortage of Southern charm with these two ladies on the premises.

Two other new faces at River Rock are Jo Lynn Conrad and Teal Van Kirk. Teal is the outfit’s administrative assistant and Jo has taken over the wheel as activities coordinator.

Also known as a life enrichment coordinator, Jo came to River Rock with a desire to foster an uplifting, fun and engaging environment for all of the residents.

Two long-standing members of River Rock’s administrative staff remain as familiar faces: Stephen Fralin and Ross Baker serve as dining services manager and maintenance supervisor, respectively.

Ever wonder what happened to Tom Betts, his lovely wife Beth and their two fine children? Wonder no more. After leaving his post as the South Gate Ranger in Yellowstone, Tom and his family were moved by the National Park Service to Alaska, where Beth was active in Alaskan school organizations while Tom worked toward and attained retirement. Tom is now back working for the NPS as chief ranger at Bandelier National Park in New Mexico.

Their oldest child, Dana, goes to college in Boston, and their youngest, Drew, is just starting college at a secret location known only to Tom so he can send the tuition payment. ...

Just kidding, I do not know where Drew decided to go to school.
