LETTERS The truth on local vs. out-of-state bidders

GUEST OPINION Mike Bressler

Blue collar honor Teton County Representatives, Ruth Ann Petroff, Keith Gingery, Marti Halverson and Teton County Senator Leland Christensen supported and voted for House bill 79 in the 2013 Wyoming legislative session. The bill “amending the definition of unpaid wages to exclude the value of accrued vacation” means that employers may pocket unused vacation dollars should an employee quit or be terminated. The only requirement is the employer must have a policy in place stating that unused vacation is forfeited upon termination.

There are differences of opinion on laws affecting worker/employer relationships, but most would agree that if one works for eight hours and turns in time for 10 hours or uses company gas to fill his personal vehicle, that person is stealing. Why is an employer taking money belonging to his employees any less than theft?

It seems our elected officials want us to think that vacation time is somehow an extra; given as a freebie above and beyond the wages one earns because vacation pay is not required by law. That is simply not true and they know it.

People take jobs based on the wages paid, wages being a total package of hourly rate and benefits. Vacation time is simply a way of distributing wages. The math is simple, even for a politician. If you have a wage package of $22 an hour including $20 in pay and the other $2 is added to your vacation time, whose money is the unused vacation?

Bill 79 states that the money belongs not to the employees who earned it, but the business owner. What if the employee had taken the $2 more in wages? Would the employer be able to attach a lien to his savings account and get back the $2 an hour? Of course not. So why should he be entitled to unused vacation money held in a different account?

If vacation time is a “bonus” because the law does not require it, then why are wages paid above the $7.25 minimum wage also not a bonus? There is simply no logic to the argument that accrued vacation time is a bonus and it is merely being used as an excuse.

The fact that it can be expensive to train a replacement for a terminated employee is not a reason for the employer to steal what does not belong to them. If I wreck my car it is expensive to buy a new one – should I be allowed to steal one? It is no different. It is also expensive to be terminated and the jobless worker deserves the money his labor has earned.

The votes of Gingery, Christensen and especially Petroff are particularly disturbing. Despite being staunch Republicans, they have taken stances on matters of principle that oppose their party’s line and all have shown the ability to apply traditional GOP values to new ideas and concepts. After listening to popular Republican talking heads and watching our local representatives vote, it seems to me that the GOP (my old party), sees workers as secondclass citizens; workers are OK come election time, but in all seriousness not worthy of fair and honest treatment.

Wyoming Republicans and Democrats have a history of being pro-business, and good for them. Why would anyone be anti-business? The truth is businesspeople are important, and when successful they deserve the fruits of their innovation and risk. But I would suggest to our representatives that the electrician wiring isolation transformers into high-voltage lines for airport runway lights, the secretary, who, if she misses a day of work, the whole company falls into chaos; the welder bonding steel beam to girder, are not to be merely dismissed as inconsequential, somehow less human, less worthy of justice than those for whom they work.

Working people deserve the wages their labors earn.

They also deserve, if not the respect of our elected representatives, at least their honest consideration.

I would like to thank Representatives Petroff and Gingery – I am not even in their district – and Senator Christensen for responding to my e-mails about their votes.

Conversely, Representative Halverson – I am in her district – did not respond to questions about her vote. I hope people in Teton County appreciate representatives that answer questions even when they don’t agree.

In his Props and Disses column in the Feb. 20 JH Weekly, Jake Nichols references the “old rule” of contracting and suggests that local elected officials should have discarded the low bid from Cannon Builders for constructing the Snake River Pathway Bridge because a) the bid appears to be too low, b) Cannon did not select a local subcontractor for portions of the steel fabrication, and c) the awarding of the bid to a nonlocal contractor is an inappropriate use of taxpayer dollars. To the casual reader of Jake’s column, it might appear that Town and County officials deliberately chose a non-local contractor or in some way do not value local contractors.

When it comes to public projects however, Jake’s “old rule” is superseded by a whole set of rules known as “the law” (Wyoming Statutes Title 16, Chapter 6, Articles 1, 2, and 7). When bidding and awarding construction contracts, public agencies such as Teton County and the Town of Jackson are statutorily obligated to award the contract to the lowest qualified bidder and are not permitted to influence the selection of subcontractors. These statutes are in place to prevent collusion, favoritism, and bid rigging that would increase project costs, increase taxes, undermine public confidence in government, and ultimately put responsible contractors out of business.

The vast majority of local pathway construction contracts (and every pathway project in the last 6+ years) has gone to two outstanding local contractors, Evans Construction and Westwood Curtis Construction. In every case, the Town and/or County awarded the contract to the qualified low bidder, and all projects have complied with the Wyoming Preference Act (W.S. 166-201 through 16-6-206, Preference for State Laborers) and the Davis-Bacon Act for federally funded projects. None of the four bidders on the Snake River Bridge project was a local firm, but of the four Cannon is actually the closest geographically to Teton County.

County staff and project engineers have reviewed Cannon’s bid in detail, checked their past projects and references, and verified that they are following Wyoming Preference Act requirements, and could find no cause to not award the bid to Cannon (Davis-Bacon does not apply for this project since there is no federal funding involved). Complying with state law, the Town and County approved the notice of award to Cannon in their public meeting on Monday, February 12th.

Local officials and staff always welcome the opportunity to work with local contractors and keep taxpayer dollars in Teton County, but they also have to follow the law, which sometimes results in awarding contracts to non-local firms.

SnowPack

Sponsored by New Belgium Brewing

Sneaky snowfall I have heard it called Optimist Prime, when it is both sunny and snowing. It is a magical time, as the sun turns every falling flake into a prism casting light. Lately there have been many of these days, when the snow is falling and then suddenly the sun is shining.

Even though the snowfall has been light and the forecast non-encouraging, each day an extra inch here and there softens the slopes. In just under two weeks more than 30 inches of snow fell. This unexpected snowfall improves the skiing and adds new loads to steep slopes. But recently loaded snow is the most sensitive to avalanching, since it has not had a chance to bond to existing surfaces. Due to long periods of dry weather this season, there remains great spatial variability within the snowpack resulting in a variety of surfaces below the new snow.

Almost 200 of the 300 inches of snowfall this season fell in December. Stormy weather could always be just around the corner, but longer days and warming temps can quickly change the snow’s texture. For now, steep, chalky turns and bouncy powder turns can still be found in the surrounding mountains. – Lisa VanSciver

being used [as] a pawn in their game.”

Park concessionaire Xanterra also felt the need to assure summer tourists that they’ll be able to get a popcorn and Coke. “We are happy to report the government sequester will not affect access to the national parks and all parks will remain open for guests. Lodging, dining and retail facilities within the parks will also remain open.”

Don’t believe the hype. GTNP, YNP, and every other park in the nation will learn to do more with less; just like we’ve all had to.

With directors like this, who needs enemies? National Park Service director Jon Jarvis wrote a memo to all park employees last week that was all gloom and doom. When the sequestration hits, Jarvis warned, the resulting “reduced services and access will make families planning summer vacations think twice about coming to a national park.”

GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK

Teens are sobering up

“Gateway communities such as Jackson could suffer significant economic impact as families alter summer vacation plans because of a budget impasse,” Jarvis cried.

What savings account has Jarvis been living under since 2008? We’ve all got it rough, pal. We’ve all had to tighten it up. No one’s saying the sequestration cuts are fair or the best way to handle government overspending, but it’s a reality.

Jarvis has officials at Grand Teton, along with headline writers at the News&Guide, all riled up with his doomsday rhetoric. “Budget logjam imperils tourism” front page headlines bellowed, while calling seasonal employees the “backbone” of a national park’s workforce. Even the excitable Jarvis only referred to seasonal employees as “utility infielders.”

To coincide with the dire predictions, a peer-reviewed study was released claiming GTNP’s 2.6 million visitors spent more than $436 million in nearby communities in 2011.

Many potential tourists are probably wondering how budget cuts will prevent nature from being open for business this summer. “Aha, so you DO feed the wildlife!”

Thankfully, some are seeing through the smokescreen. Tim Mayo, who has wanted park super Mary Gibson Scott’s head on a platter for some time now, wrote a scathing letter to the editor stating, basically, that GTNP has some nerve planning to close visitor centers and scale back visitor services when the 5 percent cuts could come out of the park’s grandiose capital improvement plans.

“They are blowing this way out of proportion!” wrote JH Wildlife Safaris, trying to save their business in the face of the Park Service’s political pandering.

“Please share with everyone that Jackson, Grand Teton and Yellowstone will all be open for business this summer. Our livelihoods are being hijacked by

According to a state survey, use of alcohol and marijuana by Teton County students is on the decline. Binge drinking is down at all grade levels as compared to 2010 numbers and pot smoking, while up slightly with eighth-graders is down significantly amongst seniors.

Stacey Caesar of the Communities Mobilizing Coalition attributes the change for the better to a new attitude beginning to develop in teens.

“Kids are realizing that not everyone is doing it,” Caesar told News&Guide school beat journo Brielle Schaeffer. “[K]ids are realizing they don’t have to use substances to be cool.”

TCSD No. 1’s new STEM program and push to build an in-house fabrication lab is just one of the many avenues local educators are providing for thirsty minds, and it’s working. In addition to less substance use, kids are taking advantage of higher learning opportunities. More than 30 percent of Jackson Hole High School students take advanced placement classes, according to the annual College Board AP Report to the Nation.

During a spina bifida corrective procedure at twentyone weeks in utero, Samuel thrusts his tiny hand out of the surgical opening of his mother’s uterus. As the doctor lifts his hand, Samuel reacts to the touch and Samuel at age 12 squeezes the doctor’s finger.

As if testing for strength, the doctor shakes the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. At that moment, I took this “Fetal Hand Grasp” photo.

As a photojournalist, my job is to tell stories through pictures. The experience of taking this photo has had a profound effect on me, and I’m proud to share this moment with you.

Being the Center for the Arts’ executive director is like being ranked No. 1 this season in the NCAA college basketball AP poll: Enjoy the view, you won’t be there long.

Cindee George, in place just long enough to fire Doug Henderson and Don Kushner, is now bolting. The announcement was made by the board of directors. When directors step down, they announce their own decision. When they are forced out, the press release comes from the board.

George lasted barely a year. Her predecessor, Clare Payne Symmons, made it a little longer: almost two years. Before that it was Mark Berry, who abruptly resigned in 2007, and so on. Between the comings and goings of directors, underlings have also been dismissed with regularity – from accounting staff to publicity personnel. Firings, at least the ones we know about, are always done in ambush fashion under the supervision of hired security guards while the latest victim is given 15 minutes to clear out his desk like he was doing top-level research at Area 51.

ThemOnUs

By Jake Nichols

At the mouth of Corbet’s: it’s OK if you just peed a little Sure, there have been a zillion stories written on the toughest run in North America. Every winter, another publication trots out the same tired piece by some skier-journalist on how rugged Corbet’s Couloir is.

The Casper Star-Tribune ran Benjamin Storrow’s coming-of-age conquest over his fear by hucking himself into “America’s scariest trail,” as he called it. Only he didn’t. He stared into the abyss and froze.

In that way, Storrow’s piece was at least real and identifiable. He began brashly: “I’d like to think I’m an above-average skier. Growing up in New England, friends and I made a habit of shouldering our skies, climbing the nearest hill and descending the maze of maples, oaks and pines.”

And ended humbled: “[Teton Gravity Research co-founder Todd] Jones says that if you look at Corbet’s for 10 seconds you won’t do it. I gawked for at least that long. I knew I wouldn’t be skiing this trail.

It hurt my pride then. It hurts even more to admit it here.”

This changes everything A study released this month flies in the face of everything we thought we knew about the pine beetle and its effect on our forests. Basically, by fighting the beetle, we are creating worse wildfire conditions.

Research published by Natural Areas Journal suggests that bark beetles do not increase the risk of forest fires in Western pine and spruce forests. Instead, the culprit is climate change and lousy forestry management.

Corbet’s Couloir Co-author Dominick DellaSala of the Geos Institute in Oregon was shocked to find that not only do thinning trees not seem to prevent future fires, but it may exacerbate the problem.

“If you do logging after the bug kill or after a forest fire you can actually intensify or magnify the severity of damage to these forests,” DellaSala told Wyoming Public Radio’s Chelsea Biondolillo, referencing the soil compaction and damage done to roots of healthy trees by heavy logging equipment.

ThemOnUs continues from page 7 Instead of thinning forests, DellaSala suggested forest managers focus on protecting roads, homes, and urban areas, and allow nature to take its course elsewhere.

Take that, Washington bitches ABC News wrote it: “While Washington, D.C. squirmed this week over the impending federal government spending cuts, Wyoming lawmakers in Cheyenne — some 1,500 miles west — went about business as usual, wrapping up a legislative session that saw them vote to continue salting away hundreds of millions in the state’s already bulging savings accounts. Knocking Washington is almost a sport in Wyoming.”

After visiting the D.C. zoo that is Congress, Gov. Matt Mead had this to say to ABC, “There was disagreement among the Democrats and the Republicans over whether that was the right amount of cuts or more cuts needed to be made. But what there was agreement on was that by setting up something that they all say that they don’t want now, and doing it on the 11th day, the 11th hour, that’s no way to run a business. That’s no way to run a railroad. I think that’s one of the fundamental things that’s wrong with Washington, D.C. — that they won’t make those

tough decisions.”

Wyoming still near top in jailing juvvies The numbers are trending down, but Wyoming still ranks number two in juvenile incarceration. Only South Dakota locks up more kids.

Wyoming is imprisoning fewer young people than it did 15 years ago, according to a new report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, but some experts, like KidsCount director Marc Homer, believe the state has a long way to go towards implementing effective reform. “In Wyoming, when we look at it, after South Dakota, we still have the second highest rate of incarceration of all the states in the nation, and we are in the nation with the highest rate of youth incarceration of all industrialized nations.”

Homer also says Wyoming should expand its restorative justice programs. He says it is less expensive, promises better outcomes for youth, and increases public safety by keeping youth within their own communities and giving them meaningful ways to better themselves.

“We’re talking about the average sundry youth offender who does some petty theft, who skips school, gets caught skateboarding, gets drunk and tips a cow over, that sort of

thing,” Homer says. “These kids can be dealt with more effectively within their community. In fact, the states that showed the greatest improvement in the nation, they actually have had an increase in public safety.”

Homer says he wants to see more youth treated in their homes and communities and the creation of a system for evaluating the effectiveness of existing state-supported institutions.

Author kindles writing career after repeated rejection Author Rod Pennington could paper the walls in his office with rejection letters. In fact, he did. Not easily discouraged, Pennington began self-publishing through Kindle Direct Publishing at Amazon.com and is now enjoying success with his first book, The Fourth Awakening. Now in its fourth year of release on Kindle, the novel has sold more than 100,000 units and has enjoyed extended runs at the No. 1 bestseller spot in the U.S. and U.K. at various times.

Pennington followed up with six more releases in the past two years and was recently featured on Amazon’s homepage. Pennington is Carrie Boynton’s father. Boynton is the executive director of the JH Ski & Snowboard Club.

High Five, cool cats It’s not easy rising to the top of the pack. It’s even tougher to stay there once you’re king of the hill. So we salute the men and women and business entities that hit the ground running in 2009 when we launched our very first “Best Of” and never looked back. These are the best of the best; the elite from our annual survey who struck Gold five straight years.

The third-generation realtor, Mack Mendenhall, has an infectious smile. The type that shows you he’s a real down-to-earth kind of guy. Our voters love him for that. He was voted Best Real Estate Agent.

With athletic prowess and acrobatic grace, Travis Rice redefined big mountain snowboarding and put Jackson Hole on the map as THE place to huck your meat on a snowboard. He’s been voted Best Athlete.

Smarter than a fifth-grader question: Who is the only mayor you’ve ever known? Mark Barron, the town’s six-term local leader is entering bronze statue territory as a five-time winner of Best Elected Official.

Capt. Bob Morris has been slowing down of late, but the Capt.’s $2 tips, enormous cycling hat, and letters to the editor/radio spots championing the legalization of marijuana are still stuff of legend. Again, he wins Best Politician (that does not hold an office).

Another year, another restaurant added to the Fine Dining chain, and Gavin Fine is up to five Best Of winnings as Best Entreprenuer. He’s up to six restaurants in the Hole and one in Park City.

Affable and entertaining on the street, a bulldog in the ring – David DeFazio was voted Best Lawyer. The “Faz” is the one guy everyone wants on their side when facing a bum rap or a fuzzy land development regulation.

It’s not easy being the best in a profession everyone loves to hate – dentisry, but Scott Larsen and staff make a root canal seem like, well, slightly less terrifying than it could be. Voted Best Dentist yet again.

JH Underground wins the Best Local Website with its odd mix of outdoorsy stuff, music appreciation, and breaking news, making Jim Stanford’s blogspot a daily check-in ritual.

Rena Trail’s been rubbing people the right way for years, even through her own traumatic injury, winning her Best Massage Therapist five years straight.

Mark “Fish” Fishman KMTN morning host has been waking up valley radio listeners for decades and logs in his fifth Best Radio Personality winning.

There are two types of women in Jackson Hole: Those who get their hair “did” at Frost and those who will, all because of Best Hair Stylist Rob Hollis at Frost Salon.

Dr. Dan Forman and wife MJ LaRue continue to set the bar in animal care bringing in five time Best Ofs for their Spring Creek Animal Hospital as Best Veterninary Clinic.

The Bank of Jackson Hole has a small town touch with worldwide clout. You’re a name and a face at BOJH, not a number.

It’s no wonder it was voted Best Bank.

They just try harder. And the flowers know this. They bloom

more brilliantly for Lily & Co. than anywhere else. Really. Winning Best Florist again. Really.

Out of the ashes of a dying grocery store rises a niche market with specialty diet options and high-end choices. Jackson Whole Grocer wins Best Produce and its upcoming move could guarantee five more years at Gold.

Kevin Humphreys at Cascade Grille wins Best Chef. Will the makeover (to the “Spur”) threaten Humphries’ five consecutive years as top chef? Early reviews at TripAdvisor would indicate not.

Service is friendly and lightning fast at Chinatown. The food is as authentic as you’ll get this far from San Fran… or Beijing, winning Best Chinese Restaurant again.

Best Mexican Restaurant five years in a row, Pica’s Mexican Taqueria is THE outdoor summer seating place to be and be seen. And the margs are two-handers.

They talk about this place in Bangkok. Teton Thai is a favorite with the jet set crowd that knows their Thai and it might be why it won Best Thai Restaurant.

At II Villaggio Osteria the food is superb; the atmosphere: romantico. Voted the Best Italian Restaurant, you’ll come for the pasta; you’ll stay for the wine bar.

Down On Glen wins again. Its downtown location is a hole-inthe-wall with limited parking. The Wilson location is wedged in the corner of a gas station. So why do people keep coming back to D.O.G.’s burritos? Bite into one and see why they are a five-time gold winner of Best Breakfast Burrito.

Watch the early evening sun duck slowly behind the sharktoothed Tetons while the Snake rolls gently by at your feet from Dornan’s outside deck. As Best Restaurant/Bar with a View to dine inside would be criminal.

Salsa is bragging rights, period, and Merry Piglets crafts its homemade and fresh, daily (chips, too), winning gold for Best Salsa once more.

Their sushi bar is mind-boggling and Nikai’s best kept secret: off-the-hook martinis. It has won gold five years running for Best Sushi.

The organic, Fair-Trade, bird-friendly, small-batch roasted coffee cuts it with even the snootiest of coffee snobs. Choose from several regions around the globe at Jackson Hole Roasters, winning Best Locally Roasted Beans.

The Best Cover Band is Mandatory Air. Five years. Two words: Miller sisters. They never turn down a gig. They always play to the audience – something many artists seem to have forgotten.

Trailside Gallery is a destination gallery offering exactly the type of art tourists would expect to find in Jackson Hole. Dazzling works from a roster of more than 100 of North America’s premier Western artists. Voted Best Western Art Gallery, it is bringing in the gold once again. – Jake Nichols

BEST OF JACKSON HOLE 2013 EDITOR’S CHOICE

Best true athlete: Joe Casey

ALLISON ARTHUR

Nothing against Travis Rice or Crystal Wright or whatever big mountain skier/rider was voted Jackson’s best “athlete,” but an athlete has to have an opponent or else it’s not a sport and therefore he or she is not an athlete. And, no, a ski hill is not an opponent.

Imagine the latest Red Bull-sponsored mountain hotshot busting “Toyota air” or a “Rusty Trombone grab” while five other snowboarders were trying to beat the snot out of him.

Joe Casey, who died suddenly last month, played hockey for the Jackson Hole Moose. He was a collegiate standout at Denver and landed a paying job with a Joe Casey getting loved on.

Texas minor league hockey team in addition to his playing days with the local U.S.A. Hockey Association Senior A club. For those unfamiliar with the sport, hockey is the most physically and mentally demanding of the major four – hockey, football, baseball and basketball. It’s not even close.

What Casey did to keep himself physically fit to play at age 37 was impressive. Youth is served in the speed game of hockey. Any strong-skating 17-year-old with decent skills can make a 30-year-old professional look foolish. Casey trained and worked out to keep his body fit for the rigors of the game. He had thighs like beer kegs.

At 5 feet 8 inches tall, nearly everyone on the ice was bigger than Casey. But he was in shape and he was smart. He took advantage of leverage and had a keen understanding of the game. He had amazing anticipation. But what Casey had in abundance at every level of the game and why he is Jackson’s best true athlete, was his high-motor drive. He never quit. He kept coming and coming, and sooner or later, he was just going to outwork you. – Jake Nichols

BEST OF JACKSON HOLE 2013 EDITOR’S CHOICE

Best START Bus driver: Peter Romaine Most Jackson partiers have travelled the “Further Bus,” as it’s known to some. Driver Peter Romaine logs the late shift mainly because it frees up his days for skiing. He’s also been known to jam the Grateful Dead on Sirius Radio most nights.

The easygoing driver has few rules when it comes to keeping order on the party bus back from the Village. “If you are gonna puke, pull the stop request cord and I will pull over for you,” Romaine says.

In the 20 years he’s been driving for START, Romaine has handled his share of the overserved. He’ll make a decent attempt to revive you if you’re passed out but beyond that he’s calling the cops. He doesn’t mind chit chat from the front seats on most nights, especially if it gives him a chance to offer up suggestions on where to eat or what to see while in town.

Inclement weather is no problem for Romaine; in fact, he says he’d rather have the roads snowy and icy than be bored with clear track. “The ‘windy mile’ [on the Village Road] is now the windy half-mile with the new Shooting Star development,” Romaine says, disappointedly. New technology in buses today also helps make Romaine’s job easier. “They are like computers and limousines now compared to 1992.”

Romaine has never had an accident while driving the bus, though he was criticized by the unofficial START Bus handicapper Capt. Bob Morris.

“He told me once, ‘Peter, you don’t need to give the bus so much gas when you are coming up to a red light,’” Romaine remembers. “I love Capt. Bob.” – Jake Nichols

Best dressed visitors The best dressed in Jackson is always a difficult category to judge. Casual active wear dominates the fashion scene in the town center, from Pearl Street Bagels to Teton Mountaineering. Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Town Square – Shades and Betty Rock – the style is more retro-metaurban-Seattle-funk. After the 2012 Little Horsethief fire, some suggested firefighter bunker gear is fashionable.

Others say it’s too brown, the fluorescent striping too visible, loud, and lacking the self-indulgent nuances of Patagonia or prAna tags (also placed on the outside where everyone can see, but subtle enough so one can pretend it’s not intentional). Camo has increased in popularity with the pseudoredneck set. Once the exclusive domain of bow hunters, it has, like climbing clothes, expanded in appeal to those who feel the need to make a public expression about who they are.

Personally, I find the idea of rednecks needing to make a fashion statement demoralizing. Plainly, best dressed is a slippery category and since Mary won’t let me nominate the nude models at Center for the Arts, I choose the Las Vegas strippers The Bird invited to their Super Bowl party. Now that’s a fashion statement we can all live with!

On any given night in Jackson Hole, something special is happening: a gallery opening of contemporary paintings, a performance on the Center for the Arts’ stage, or even girls’ night out at a favorite white-tablecloth restaurant. And at all of these events or hot spots, women can be found dressed to the nines, negotiating the boardwalk in teetering heels and catching the bar light with glittering accessories. However, one woman often stands out from the rest, effortlessly blending high style and comfort. Whether attending a NYC ballet performance or a Fourth of July parade, Heidi Ramseur is sleek, sophisticated and stunning. She brings simple glamour to the table, without over-trending, over-thinking or over-complicating. Flattering skirt lengths, appropriately plunging necklines and well-fitted materials ensure Heidi’s completely put-together look. She is a Diana Vreeland-breath-of-fresh air in a world polluted with Kardashian T&A. – Christian Burch

Best youthful bod: Joelle Cogliati

Once is enough, twice is nice...

THANK YOU JACKSON HOLE! I am honored to be selected as Best Lawyer, Bronze, for two consecutive years.

JOELLE COGLIATI

~ Doug Schultz

Joelle Cogliati sets a high standard for looking good at 50. Really high. So high in fact, that if I look like she does now when I turn 30, I’ll take it in a spin-class enhanced heartbeat. One term for someone as hot as Joelle at her age is a MILF, but considering she doesn’t have children, let’s go with “New Age Babe.” Sure, most people around here are pretty good at taking care of themselves.

It’s not too hard when you have the kind of access to the outdoors that we do in Jackson Hole. But looking like Joelle beyond one’s 30s or 40s takes more than thrice-weekly hikes up Glory or the occasional Zumba class. Between teaching yoga and owning a private massage practice, it’s safe to say that Joelle lives healthy. And let’s be honest, that’s what truly makes this new age babe a “Masseuse I’d Like to be Friends” with. – Allie Knetzger

Best dressed family:

NONA YEHIA

Mark Sullivan, Nona Yehia and children, Wyatt and Lucy Four unique styles jammed into one household could result in a clashing cluster of circus-like undefined style, but not in the Sullivan/Yehia home. Father, Mark, sports understated and classic muted colors: usually dark denim paired with a blazer, leather shoes and a scarf. In contrast to Mark’s scruffy coolness, Nona fancies sky-high shoes and clothing with architectural shapes and bright colors that, if you listen closely, you can actually hear popping when she enters a room. Son, Wyatt, is streamlined in skinny jeans and tees, resembling the bygone days of the skinny British bad-boy rocker. When asked about her style, youngest daughter, Lucy, quipped, “My clothing choices are based on themes, color, mood, or type of event … although if I could, I’d always wear a party dress, day or night.” We agree, Lucy. It’s always nice to be ready for the party. – Christian Burch

Best place to get your indoor sweat: Revolution Indoor Cycling

KATY GRAY PHOTOGRAPHY

Best use of commute time: radio & reflection

Revolution Indoor Cycling is ahead of the rest when it comes to working up a sweat. You might think that in order to sweat – the sloppy wet kind that pools up on your brow and drips from your body, you have to either sit in an unbearably hot sauna or work so hard it hurts. If so, you have not worked out at RIC. From state-of-the-art Schwinn bikes, Indo-Row rowers, and a variety of motivational instructors, it’s definitely a serious group workout, but there’s a fun factor, too. As Bryan McDearman, a former college football player and avid skier and bicyclist says, “It’s not Zumba. It’s row.” Sure there’s music. Eighties hair bands are owner Julie Guttormson’s favorite, but each instructor has a unique playlist. With disco-type lights – the same found at the Bellagio – that change color and can even flash in rhythm to the beat of the music, the workout scene has a Vegas-vibe which is what Guttormson wanted. “At the end of the day, it has to be fun,” she says. And with all this fun going on, you might forget you are working out. McDearman, who works an 8 to 5 job during the week, says he likes working out at RIC because it helps him build and maintain strength and endurance for weekend sports. As for me, I love to row with the group. We’re in sync, but we all work at our own power and pace. McDearman says he burns at least 700 calories in any class he attends, while this author is happy burning 300. Clean white towels are stacked near the entrance. Don’t forget to grab one. You will never sweat so good. – Teresa Griswold

Whether schlepping in from either valley – Star or Teton – or somewhere along the outlying fringes like Kelly or Red Top Meadows, commuters need something to do besides driving. Are you a competent enough driver to handle a “distractionary” task? Probably not, judging from the dead wildlife piled up along the road, but here goes.

Radio is the old standby. It’s still free and, after listening to the local choices, it’s obvious why. Still, depending on your routine, NPR offers radio for those who don’t mind learning something. “Morning Edition,” “All Things Considered,” “Talk of the Nation,” and “Science Friday” turn your truck cab into a rolling classroom.

Audio books and podcasts are another way to drown out tire hum while keeping your mind occupied. Some people swear by them. Others find they can’t concentrate on the story while watching the road or vice versa. Always wanted to learn French? How about a Rosetta Stone session while driving away the hours? The longer your commute, the more multilingual you might become.

Lastly, the half-hour or so spent driving to and from work could be used productively as a means of self-reflection. You can get as new age as you want with it, but creative visualization builds muscle memory. Athletes practice the method all the time. A golfer, for example, may visualize the perfect stroke, the perfect shot over and over the night before he has to play a big tournament.

On the way to work, meditate on what you want to get accomplished that day. On the way home, review the day and how you might have made it better.– Jake Nichols

Hipsters flock to Williamsburg in New York, to the Pearl District in Portland, to The Mission in San Francisco, and to Silver Lake in Los Angeles. In fact, hipsterism has become so hip that it’s inhibiting its own hipness. (Urban Outfitters, anyone?) So where do you go in Jackson if you’re too hip for hipster? Gaslight Alley. The shop-lined block has evolved into its own teeny-tiny beacon of style and culture. The pillar of the “alley” is Valley Bookstore, Jackson’s legendary independent bookstore, offering the latest reads in all of their tactile glory. Grab a cup of coffee at one of two coffee shops, and browse the small “mom and pop” shops such as Shayne Skincare, Bet the Ranch, Habits, and MADE. Summer brings “miniature festivals” with artists showing their wares, screenprinters demonstrating their skills, and shop owners investing in, not only their own businesses, but the culture of our town. – Christian Burch

Best parking lots to poach

Best drive-thru sugar buzz: Turtle Pecan Blizzard at Dairy Queen

MARY GROSSMAN

I once ordered the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard when I felt a need to obtain my recommended daily amount of saturated fat. While the servers treated me with civility, I can assume their disdain at my untutored palate would be similar to that of a Westbanker ordering red wine with fish. Thankfully, age has brought me wisdom (as well as a few pounds in the gut).

I now order only the Turtle Pecan Blizzard, which is my nominee for Best of JH in the corporate, nationally franchised drive-thru category. The TPB has real pecans and a flavor that is more subtle than the Peanut Butter Cup, more sophisticated if you will, providing a more rewarding, more refined experience. As a bonus, the Turtle Pecan Blizzard offers important vitamins, as well as calcium. As for the questionable content in fast food “ice cream” – the various mono and diglycerides, celluloses, carrageenan, calcium sulfates, disodium phosphate and artificial additives – when you die, the chemicals keep you from rotting so fast!

If the lousy economy has an upside it’s all the available parking. With so many businesses shuttered in and around town, the “parking lot poach” has been in full effect.

The old Bubba’s/Mojo’s poach is a favorite with the tow hitch crowd. River rats caught on to this sweet spot last summer, and tour buses occasionally figure out that the parking space provided by the combined emptiness of the two eateries on either side of Wendy’s at the five-way make for ideal spots for big rigs and haulers to hole up. Bonus: Plenty of turnaround space.

The front of Mojo’s has already turned into a used car lot (see Teton Gables) and out back more than one homeless person turned the lot into his own personal campground last summer.

The Teton Steakhouse lot has proved very handy for downtown parking overflow. Bank of Jackson Hole customers, Eddie Bauer shoppers, and those looking for a quick slice at Pinky G’s have all zeroed in on the unused lot at the old Sizzler.

The business du jour spot attached to the Teton Gables property has always been a great place to drop off your camper or trailer or boat for about four months. An absentee owner and nonexistent management makes the former convenience store-tackle shop-fruit stand the ideal place to leave your rig to sell … or rot.

Best use of a tip jar: Copyworks The unassuming tip can on the counter at Copyworks has worked magic for our troops in Afghanistan. While Suzanne Richards’ sonin-law was stationed in Afghanistan briefly as a chaplain’s assistant, she got the idea to solicit spare change for some of the troops who have no family and are consistently passed over during mail call.

“When that jar fills up, and it does frequently, I go to the dollar store and buy them some things,” Richards said. “Just little things like energy bars, ping pong balls, matchbox cars, whatever I can get a lot of.”

Richards sends magazines, comics, and cards made by school kids during the holidays – little items from a home that seem so very far away for our fighting men and women. In less than a year and a half, the jar has been cashed in hundreds of times, according to Richards. In fact, Copyworks has sent so many care packages to the six bases in the Salerno region that the 1st Battalion, 501 Airborne awarded the small Jackson shop with one of the 10th anniversary flags that flew at Task Force 1-501 Geronimo headquarters to commemorate the attack on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.

Best place to get the 4H scoop: Jackson Hole Feed & Pet Supply Twin sisters Kelly (Hatch) and Kathy (Flickinger) might have just created the good ol’ girls version of the barbershop. The latest poop on Jackson’s ag industry can always be found down at the feed store on Carol Lane.

“People come to get the news, and we’ve also been referred to as Match.com for pets, too,” Flickinger said, referring to the wide array of critters the shop takes care of until they find their next home. In addition to the store mascot dog and cat, shoppers may find chicks, lizards, birds, or a tree frog for sale or giveaway.

Ranch-y types account for the bulk of the business at Jackson Hole Feed & Pet, but the owners say they are seeing more and more sustainable-living folks looking to feed their chickens or birds or other stock.

“A lot of our dog food business comes from customers who say they are ready to step up to something a little better than kibbles,” Flickinger said, bragging on sister Kelly who is an expert dietician.

The twins stress that, while they can work with dog and cat owners on the spectrum of foods, no one should ever feel the need to apologize for trying to save money. Special orders are no problem at the feed store, which features a massive attached warehouse. – Jake Nichols

WADE DUNSTAN

The unisex restrooms in Thai Me Up are decidedly decadent. That’s probably why it gets weird in there. They’re almost too spectacular to soil with a BM and plenty of dudes are intuitively more careful with their stream in such glorious water closets. Take a pass on number ones and number twos; these johns are tailor-made bone zones.

Maybe it’s the black-lighting or the Kama Sutra-like wall murals, but TMU’s luxurious loos have fast become a de facto boom-boom room for friskier patrons who can’t wait till later to “answer the call.” And that “courtesy flush” is made to mask her throes of ecstasy, not necessarily his bowlful of hot mess.

The wild wall art by Ben Carlson and Mark Dunstan is what puts the groove in Thai Me Up’s coed lavs and a little hanky-panky that leaves the facilities smelling like Barry White’s bedroom (or R. Kelly’s sheets to the younger generation) is something TMU staffers have probably gotten used to by now. Just be considerate of the next couple trying hard to hold it. – Jake Nichols

BEST OF JACKSON HOLE 2013 EDITOR’S CHOICE

Best phallic food: Bin 22’s chocolate salami

Owners Josh Governale and Fred Peightal have centered their restaurant so much around the pig that their logo depicts the animal. And while the sign in front of Café Genevieve gives evidence to the porky goodness that lies within the eatery, until you taste it for yourself it’s hard to appreciate all the various uses for our swine friends. Pork is all over the Genevieve menu, and you can pretty much have it for any meal of the day, for any course. Whether served as a savory side to your Belgian waffle, sprinkled on your cheesy huevos rancheros, chopped into a crunchy salad, barbecued and pulled for a juicy sandwich, roasted in elegant chop-form, boiled into a deeply flavorful soup broth, or even candied and served sweet, pork is front and center, and with Governale cooking it up, the pig has never tasted better. – Claire Rabun

CAFE GENEVIEVE

Best anything that’s pork: Cafe Genevieve

There’s no shortage of jokes when it comes to food in the shape of, well, let’s call it a phallus, but at Bin22 they’re not kidding around when it comes to their Chocolate Salami. This hefty log of delight is a combination of dark chocolate, figs, dates, almonds, pistachios and walnuts, all rolled in powdered sugar and served with fig preserves and sugared crackers. Bin22 is the new Eataly-esque wine bar, specialty grocer, and liquor store in town, and while its menu is full of tapas-style plates that are meant to share, you’ll want to keep the whole Chocolate Salami for yourself. Just a little sweet, a little nutty, a good bit naughty and a whole lot satisfying, this dish is that one night stand that you’ll keep coming back to over and over again.

Healthy Being Juicery is not your ordinary juice shop.

You won’t find Jessica Marlo’s liquefied fruit and veggie concoctions stored on a grocery shelf or growing frost in a freezer. Nor can you walk in and build your own.

Healthy Being’s juices are carefully combined with just the right ingredients and meant to be consumed fresh to optimize their nutrient punch. They are found in only one place in Jackson – a compact corner inside Inversion Yoga. With a split door, it resembles a lemonade stand where you can walk up and buy not lemonade, but “Muscle Love” or “Cocochata” in an eco-friendly, reusable glass bottle. The juices are cold-pressed in a kitchen offsite and transported in coolers to the refrigerated display, ensuring a fresh batch every morning. In the boutique juicery’s brightly painted kitchen, a few “juice chefs” create the plant-based batches of freshness daily. The air smells sweet and tangy from the process, while bowls full of vibrant organic apples, cucumbers and greens await their journey into juice. Each 16.5-ounce bottle contains about two to three pounds of produce. Fresh juices like these are so trendy in New York City and L.A. that some of Marlo’s clients (she’s also a holistic health coach), were air freighting them to Jackson, giving her the idea to create the local juicery. A pastel-colored cucumber juice true to the vegetable’s soothing green promises to give skin a Juice chef Jess Wilcox gathers up an glow. Who knew nutritious could be so delicious? Drink up. – Teresa Griswold assortment of freshly-pressed juices.

R E S TA U R A N T • B A K E RY JAKE NICHOLS

They used to be called “dive bars.” Places where “townies” went while the less-informed frequented tourist traps, imbibing on watered-down drinks. Dive bars are not brew pubs. The names of dive bars do not end in “& Grill.” They might have entertainment but would never refer to the band in the corner as a “show.”

Dive bars have names like the Tipsy Crow, Bucket of Blood and Dad’s Place. They do not have Flock of Seagulls on the jukebox. The carpet is not cleaned frequently. Nothing is cleaned frequently. There are cigarette burns on anything that will burn.

Perhaps Playboy said it best in its August 2010 issue: Dive bars are a “church for down-and-outers and those who romanticize them, a rare place where high and low rub elbows – bums and poets, thieves and slumming celebrities. It’s a place that wears its history proudly.”

Classic “real” bars in Jackson have all fallen by the wayside. The Log Cabin is gone and The Rancher has morphed into something else. Jackson’s last and best dive bar remains the Virginian Saloon. We salute you, Virg, with shots all around. – Jake Nichols

In its sixth year on the, ahem, thriving Thayne restaurant scene, Juan’s is serving up authentic Mexican food from scratch, and while the menu might look like your usual south of the border offerings, Juan’s is anything but.

Best wings and beer: Thai Me Up OK, so a Thai restaurant isn’t the most traditional locale for wings and beer, but it’s that unique spin that sets Jeremy Tofte’s Thai Me Up apart.

First, the wings: these bad boys are meaty, tender, juicy, and slathered in a sticky, sweet sauce with an undertone of warmth that’ll keep you coming back for more. Served with a spicy heat, cool temperature red chili sauce, these wings are only improved when paired with one of the nanobrewery’s frosty cold ones.

Thai Me Up’s beers led the Jackson brewing scene at the 2012 Great American Beer Festival, bringing home three medals. One of those was the coveted Alpha Gold award in the Imperial Pale Ale category for its kick-youin-the-pants 2x4. This double IPA is super hoppy, crisp, 10 percent alcohol, and the perfect companion for spicy Thai food. And that’s just the wings and beer.

The restaurant also serves up a full menu of authentic Thai dishes that Tofte fell in love with while traveling through Thailand. While the taps and apps keep the bar area full, offerings like Pad Thai, Kang Kwio Wan, and Pad Kee Mow have the 58-seat dining room bursting at the seams night after night. – Claire Rabun

If you’re searching for a little Christian soul music in your life, look no further than your local Presbyterian Church. Former Jackson Hole High School choir director Bill Hungate has been the musical director for the church’s choir for 12 years and leads the 35-member choir in anthems of praise and worship every Sunday between September and May. Choir members range in age from 20- to 80-somethings. The repertoire changes every Sunday and ranges from classics by Schubert to Christian contemporary. Hungate structures “blended service, message-based” material sets for each Sunday, and unlike many churches where a small “worship team” leads the congregation in Sunday worship, the choir itself leads the church praise service.

THANK YOU JACKSON HOLE!

BEST OF JACKSON HOLE 2013 EDITOR’S CHOICE

Best live emcee you may have never heard: Phonetic

Michael Scalabrino Best Musician Under 17

THANK YOU JACKSON HOLE! INUNA BLEVINS

Among the string of hiphop openers who performed during Jackson Hole Snowboarder Magazine’s annual party in February, there was one emcee who had a particular stranglehold on the crowd. Raised in a tepee by his fishing parents, Phonetic, a.k.a. Sydney Dean, is an Alaska-born emcee who moved to the valley in May 2010 but has yet to amass the local following you’d expect for a hip-hop mercenary with such commanding stage presence. Decidedly, the lack of a cohesive local hip-hop scene may serve as explanation for this classically-trained musician’s slow-growing popularity. But Phonetic is setting the brickwork for more hip-hop in Jackson Hole through his Word 2 the Wise events, which he spearheaded in 2006. Injecting positivity into the hip-hop sphere, Phonetic began these emcee battles – which are geared to an all-ages audience and have been held in Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Missouri and Jackson Hole – as an alternative way for artists to engage one another and raise their visibility. “I see freestyle battling as checkers, and this format as chess,” Phonetic says.

“It’s more like theatre than just rapping.” Rappers write battle lyrics in advance for W2TW events, and when the crowd swells around them, they rise to the challenge of performing a capella. As a battle rapper who thrives in the limelight, it was only a matter of time before Phonetic’s strengths would manifest with the Word 2 the Wise league. “I worked really hard to shape my skill at battling, and battling is what I built my name on,” Phonetic says. “I really love to move a crowd, whether in a live performance or a battle.” Listen to Phonetic’s music at phonetic1.bandcamp.com or indefinateetticate.bandcamp.com. – Robyn Vincent

Best quick getaway with style: Salt Lake City

Need a quick getaway, but craving something a little more citified and sleek than Idaho Falls but don’t have the time or money to get to New York or San Francisco? Maybe it’s time to look at Salt Lake City in a different light. Book your reservation at the chic Hotel Monaco and bring your pet if you’d like. If you don’t have a pet, have a goldfish sent up from the front desk. And don’t miss happy hour drinks and chair massages in the lobby daily. If it’s culture that you’re looking for, Salt Lake offers numerous contemporary, Western and fine art museums and galleries and several theater companies, Ballet West, Utah Opera and visiting concerts. For slick interiors and yummy food, eat at Pallet, The Copper Onion, Plum Alley, or Pago, or stick with the local favorite, The Red Iguana. Imbibe later at BarX, a seedy from the outside, sexy from the inside bar owned by Ty Burrell of Modern Family fame and his brother, Duncan. Or have a quiet martini in the well-hidden, classic Gibson Girl at the Grand America Hotel. – Christian Burch

A new, vibrant piece of graffiti decorates a retaining wall by the Storage Stables.

No one can dispute the cadre of creative folk coloring Jackson Hole’s cultural landscape, from sprightly illustrators like Kelly Halpin and Benjamin Carlson to innovative sculptor Ben Roth, renowned painter Tom Woodhouse and forward-thinking fashionista Abbie Miller. But when it comes to street art – specifically graffiti – in the valley, there’s but a tiny window of opportunity for stealthy graffiti artists to use their cans. Conversely, in large metropolises, street art decorates subways, street signs, alleyways, and bridges and tunnels ad infinitum. But the [mostly illegal] act of placing one’s art on public or private property is a tad more difficult to accomplish in a small town where cops typically aren’t busy chasing robbers and rapists. So you can imagine our elation when a vibrant new piece of graffiti managed to find its way onto a retaining wall near the Storage Stables, beaming out onto motorists and pedestrians alike at the Y intersection of Highway 22 and Broadway. It’s the brazen act itself of creating art on such a publicly visible canvas that deserves props. But what we appreciate even more is that, unlike local “graffiti” ventures of the past, which have often proved a juvenile showing of drivel, this street art is purposeful, beautiful and, depending on who you talk to (decidedly not the Storage Stable owners), it enhances the valley’s aesthetic.

Kudos to you, mystery graffiti artist. May your work prosper on public canvas, and you in anonymity. – Robyn Vincent

Best edgy, DIY theatre: Riot Act

FIND US ON FACEBOOK AS PLANET JACKSON HOLE.

ZAC ROSSER

Riot Act, Inc., exudes a level of artistic community rebellion that we find very attractive. Perhaps we’re enticed by the troupe’s title, which stems from a 1714 British law aimed at preventing groups of 12 or more from assembling and hence starting a “riot.” We also dig Riot Act’s edgy, all-inclusive philosophy. In her online manifesto, co-founding Riot Act member Eve Bernfeld explains why fostering community theatre and expression is critical in Jackson Hole: “Stoking the fire on a bleak, overcast but not yet snowing morning in Wilson, WY, I don’t have access to the smorgasbord of theatrical options available in a city, but the need for stories – entertaining, thought-provoking, edgy, hilarious or tragic – is no less pressing. If these stories, and thus the theatre, are necessary to civilization, culture, society, to life, then is it not equally important to have a thriving, vital theatre community in Wyoming as it is in, say, New York City?” We couldn’t agree more, Ms. Bernfeld.

From the wildly popular production of The Rocky Horror Show in October 2009 to its second musical and most recent show, The Threepenny Opera, Riot Act raises the curtain to spotlight poignant, captivating community theatre and familiar faces in a different light. – Robyn Vincent

Riot Act does The Rocky Horror Show.

Best Vegas experience: Town Square Tavern For the best local Las Vegas style entertainment, I nominate Town Square Tavern. The cocktail waitresses wear low-cut tops just like they do in Vegas. But best of all (or worst of all depending on how the cards run) there is a poker table in the back. Wyoming law allows for poker games in public places and businesses so long as the business owner receives no income from the game and does not advertise. The Tavern provides a card table, chips and cards. The deal is passed around with each player shuffling and dealing in turn. The game is almost always no limit Texas Hold-em, although sometimes the game degenerates to Omaha, both high and high-low. Blinds are $1 and $2 dollars though often some asshole will straddle with five. With the buy-in at $100 you can lose enough money in a short enough time to make it seem like Vegas. So if you need to recoup losses from the cutter races or college basketball, head to the Tav. – Clyde Thornhill

Best free concert series: JacksonHoleLive!

JacksonHoleLive’s first summer season was highlighted by a series of six free outdoor shows held at the base of Snow King Resort. The series was an instant hit, taking advantage of a killer venue and a family-and party-friendly atmosphere that included local vendors and a local-heavy crowd, peaking at more than 5,000. Acts included The Dunwells and the American funk-soul group Robert Randolph & The Family Band, to name only a few. For its encore, JacksonHoleLive’s second summer will include promoting the annual Music In The Hole Fourth of July concert, which traditionally culminated with a performance by the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra. This year the orchestra will stay home but make your plans to head to Snow King for a day of music. – Madelaine German

The Wailers, B-Side players and Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band perform this week.

Wailers mark Garter’s 1-year anniversary

By Aaron Davis The world’s most storied reggae band will usher in a significant milestone in the timeline of our local music scene—the revival and one-year anniversary of the Pink Garter Theatre and its sweet sister bar, The Rose.

Also momentous is the addition of vocalist Danglin (Dwayne Anglin to his mother) to The Wailers’ lineup. By my calculations, The Wailers last show in the Tetons was Jan. 13, 2007, at the Mangy Moose. Around 2010, The Wailers began alternating 30-year-old Danglin with vocalist Koolant Brown, sometimes even staging both singers. During its heyday, and up until Marley’s death in 1981, The Wailers toured with at least 10 members, including three backup vocalists (the “I Threes”). The six-piece lineup that we’ll see will include Danglin, backup vocalist Cegee Victory, and original Wailers bassist Aston “Family Man” Barrett.

“It’s one thing to sing along with Bob on the records when he’s singing, but the pressure is in the fact that the audience knows every word, even the ad-libs,” Danglin told The Province last month.

“It’s so funny. Sometimes you’re singing and you’re not always going to sing the

ad-libs, but they sing it for you. That just tells me how much they actually know these songs, line for line and word for word. It’s amazing.”

Adding to the astonishing stat of 250 million albums sold, the world impact of The Wailers’ career extends even further outside of Marley’s legendary shadow. The band has also played with Sting, The Fugees, Stevie Wonder, Santana, Alpha Blondy, as well as reggae legends Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer and Burning Spear.

The recent Grammy Awards performance and Marley tribute that was fronted by sons Ziggy and Damien, Sting, and Bruno Mars have set the charts ablaze all over again.

Bob Marley and the Wailers‘ album Legend jumped from No. 99 to 34 in Albums, returned to No. 13 in Digital Albums, and currently tops the Catalog Albums chart.

The Wailers, 8 p.m., Thursday at the Pink Garter Theatre. $20 advance, $25 day-ofshow at The Rose, Pinky G’s or PinkGarterTheatre.com.

Take it to the B-Side The B-Side players are compelling in a similiar fashion to that of Michael Franti and Spearhead, with more grit and unreahearsed moments of zen driven by

polyrhythmic groove and a worldly musical language. Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico and Brazil all have stamps on their sound, dropping funk, rock, jazz, Cumbia, Salsa, and Boogalo into the mix. Nine-members strong, this is energy to be harvested on the dancefloor.

B-Side Players, 9:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday at the Knotty Pine in Victor. $12 per night or $20 for both nights at KnottyPineSupperClub.com or 208-787-2866.

Yo Mama’s Booty What?! You talkin’ about my mama’s booty? Nah, I’m talkin’ about Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band. As I spin the band’s sophomore release, Doin’ it Hard, it’s impressive how its sound has refined and matured, especially rhythmically and arrangement-wise. It’s one thing to be funky, but heavy funk with doubletimes and intricate horn layering is definitely something that would make one’s mama shake it—embarassingly hard.

They also aren’t scared to go into galactica land a la Michael Ray and The Cosmic Krewe.

Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band, 9:30 p.m., Tuesday, at Town Square Tavern. $10.

I have a feeling the valley will be seeing more of this talented band.

West Jenkins Wash

By Jake Nichols Call it the poor man’s spring break. Real poor. Or a pre-spring break break. West Jenkins Wash, just the other side of Dubois, is two months ahead of us, weather-wise. OK, it’s not much to look at, really, but right about now, when you’re jonesin’ for some dirt to sink your hiking boots into, this barren wasteland fills the bill.

I like slipping over the CD to the Dubois area. They don’t get much snow and what they get is gone with the first sign of the Chinook winds in January. This one time, I decided to explore the Wind River Indian Reservation on the outskirts of Dubois.

Driving east of Never Sweat, about 11 miles outside of town, you pick up the Wind River (on your left) and enter the Rez. About 6.5 miles later, just before Dinwoody, hang a left on this non-descript dirt road. There might be a sign calling this the W. Dinwoody Lake Road. I can’t remember. The road takes you over a bridge across the Wind River – which, outside of spring, is an ankle-deep wash at this spot – right at West Fork of Jenkins Draw. You are now on the Old Yellowstone Highway, technically, but you’d never know it. Park here.

This whole vast wasteland north of Highway 26 is like moon dust. Forget the Hollywood studio conspiracy – if the Apollo moon landing was faked, they staged it right here.

What I did was head right up the West Jenkins Wash with the intent of making a loop by coming out Coal Draw. East Fork Jenkins Draw opens up fairly wide as it accesses Sand Draw a few miles later. West Jenkins tightens as you travel into it. It re-

The badlands of Dubois contain odd rock formations that need to be “surfed.” minds me a bit of southern Utah slot canyons, only instead of burnt orange sandstone everywhere it’s chalk white badlands.

You’ll find bighorn sheep in here a-plenty. I found two dead rams lying head-to-head as if they had died smashing into each other.

Their huge ram curls were mighty tempting to poach but beware, if you’re caught on Rez land taking stuff or committing any crime, well, good luck with that. It’s like a gringo getting caught stealing a chicken in a remote Mexican village.

Supposedly, one can find relics of the natives’ existence in the mountains and valleys around Dubois, including prehistoric petro-

glyphs, hunting traps and blinds, and stone tepee circles. I’ve run across some tepee circles but not around here, specifically. (Any evidence in this area doesn’t last long.) These washes are washes for a reason. When downpours come, and I saw one in these washes that threw down monster hail piles in no time, water runs wild over the nonporous rock and sand.

So, once again, I’m not saying this is the most exciting outing you will have. It’s just different. After five months of not seeing terra firma, it is kinda nice to see, smell, and taste earth. Even if it does look like the surface of the moon.

An elevated java experience

CALENDAR

There’s one major problem with Elevated Grounds. It’s in the Aspens. I live in East Jackson. And I don’t like to drive.

From its spot-on baristas to its colorful Fiestaware dishes and mugs, carefully curated selection of baked goods from the valley’s best bakeries and made-to-order paninis, Elevated Grounds gets it right. The furniture could be a little less Ashley Furniture and a little more thrift shop, though I give it points for trying to be cozy with upholstered chairs in front of a gas pseudo-fireplace.

The mug my double espresso came in was perfect for holding with two hands. All coffee cups are not shaped alike and I like mugs my hands can hug.

Burritos are the Jackson Hole chargers’ goto breakfast. However, the ooey, gooey strawberry cream cheese croissant at Elevated Grounds weighs about as much as a D.O.G. breakfast burrito and if you need a burrito break, it’s worth a try. It’s not nearly as much of a gut bomb as the D.O.G. burrito, and it doesn’t stay with you as long, but, well, life is a series of trade-offs.

Last week, after skiing hard all day at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, I stopped into Elevated Grounds for a late afternoon snack.

Parking my car out front, I was thinking a “Wicked Good” bar, which EG gets from Atelier Ortega, would be the perfect snack. However, once inside the smell of warm paninis got me thinking I needed more than a snack.

Before I knew it, I was ordering a chicken salad pesto melt.

GERALDINE MISHEV

By Geraldine Mishev

From baked goods to crusty paninis, Elevated Grounds sates the fatty in you.

Not that this was an easy choice. Other panini options (all $8.96) include Brie and apple, with sliced Granny Smith apples and melted Brie with yogurt cranberry sauce, and ham and Swiss featuring sliced honey ham and melted cheese with a side of creamy pesto aioli.

There are also three full-sized salads ($7.08 each) to choose from: the Eagle’s Nest with the same tarragon chicken salad that came on my panini, grape tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette; the Asian Pear with sliced pear and craisins with Asian vinaigrette, Grape Nuts and pickled ginger on the side; and the Greek with Mediterranean olives, grape tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese with Greek dressing. But the salad option was not on the table after a day of chasing the steep and deep – I needed some serious replenishment.

When my fuel arrived at the table, melted Provolone cheese and a thick layer of pesto oozed from beneath the fresh ciabatta bread.

However, upon biting into the panini, it wasn’t either the cheese or pesto that fell into my lap. If there’s a chicken salad in this valley

DORNAN’S

with more chicken in it than at Elevated Grounds, I have yet to encounter it.

I’m still exploring the breakfast options at Elevated Grounds beyond the strawberry and cream cheese croissant (which comes from the Bunnery) and a slice of veggie quiche. The latter kept me sated longer, but, well, it’s difficult to beat the buttery, buttery taste of a flaky croissant, especially when the strawberry and cream cheese goodness hidden inside are happily melted together. Not really a fan of microwaves, and especially not when it comes to baked goods, I applaud Elevated Grounds for having both a toaster oven and a microwave available.

And because I still had room in my stomach after polishing off the chicken salad pesto melt, I also bought a Wicked Good bar. Shortbread topped with a fig spread and all sorts of seed-y goodness, it lived up to its name.

Elevated Grounds is located next to Wells Fargo in the Teton Pines commercial strip.

CLASSIFIEDS

Second Amendment foreplay

By Cylde Thornhill Beaming with joy, Alice, my Republican lover, stopped by the trailer last week. “What a great year in the Wyoming Legislature,” she announced. “Almost all the gun bills passed!”

Damn, I thought. I had only seen Alice happy once in my life when she heard Air Force One had crashed, killing Obama and his family. It turned out just to be an Internet joke. She was depressed for a week afterwards. For Alice, anger is an aphrodisiac, joy a lust kill. Thankfully she is a Republican, always angry, always ready. Except for now. I needed to get her pissed. Thankfully she is a Republican, easily pissed.

“While I applaud the Wyoming Legislature for passing a law allowing the use of silencers for hunters,” I began, “I don’t feel the law has gone far enough. We can shoot clip after clip at a herd of elk across a canyon without spooking them, but we have no way to know where the bullets are hitting.

Our so-called gun-friendly legislature needs to pass laws legalizing tracer rounds for hunting.”

“You’re right,” she said. “I’ll bet Obama had something to do with that not even being brought up.”

“Most likely,” I nodded. “And another thing – the Second Amendment does not even mention guns.

It mentions ‘arms,’ meaning any weaponry.

Rocket-propelled grenades with tandem-charged warheads would be great for elk hunting. Imagine, one shot and you could fill the freezers of an entire trailer park. But there was no movement to allow RPGs for sporting pursuits.”

“Damn liberals!” she fumed. That was more like

JH WEEKLY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM MADE BY A CLASSIFIED AD IN THIS PAPER.

it. But since it had been a while since I had seen Alice, I wanted to take advantage of the moment. I decided to push her off the deep end. I could (maybe) handle it.

“Of course if America is safer with high capacity magazine assault rifles in the hands of the population, then what would really make us safe is the state-financed distribution of FIM-92 Stinger portable infrared homing surface-to-air missiles to the entire Wyoming population. It is an arm, its private ownership guaranteed by the Second Amendment. We could shoot down airplanes, helicopters, even jets. Imagine the advantages in duck hunting! Plus, private ownership of Stinger missiles in Wyoming would show them liberal bastards!” Showing them liberal bastards seems to be the driving force in Wyoming legislation recently, which is a good thing. Ever try to read a highway or energy bill? Bor-ing.”

“Everyone in Wyoming should have at least one Stinger missile,” Alice exclaimed. “It’s a right! I am so angry now. I’m calling Marti Halverson, she will know what to do!”

I cringed. “Maybe not, Marti,” I said. “She might go overboard and hand out nuclear devices.”

“What’s wrong with that?” Alice demanded.

“Nukes are arms too, guaranteed by the Second Amendment.”

I finally had Alice where I wanted her but I was concerned I didn’t have enough room in my fridge to hold the Budweiser needed to outwait a nuclear winter should there be an accidental discharge.

But as Alice always wears black lace underneath, I figured I’d take my chances. Maybe I could find a used fridge in the JH Weekly classifieds.
