Pathways grant in jeopardy Bridget Ryder TVN staff A $1.3 million federal grant awarded to the city of Victor is in jeopardy.

The grant would finance extending the Victor-Driggs bike path form Moose Creek to the Wyoming state line, but some lawmakers in Washington, D.C. would rather use the money to fund bridge repairs in other parts of the country.

Tim Adams, executive director of Teton Valley Trails and Pathways got word two weeks ago that Victor had been awarded the grant it applied for last spring in conjunction with the US Forest Service and the city.

A week later, the League of American Bicyclists, a lobbying group in Washington, D.C. alerted their members that the funds could be redirected to bridge repair.

“Each year Congress debates a series of appropriations bills that together make up the annual budget. This week both the House and the Senate are debating the Transportation, Housing and Urban

Development (THUD) Appropriations,” a July 29 post on their website read.

Amendments to the appropriations bills can be introduced at anytime.

On Wednesday morning a post on the League’s website said that Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) introduced an amendment on Tuesday night that would strip the Alternative Transportation Program of funding.

The program provides grants for bike paths and trails. According to the league, the senate was scheduled to debate the transportation appropriations Wednesday, but the amendment was not on the schedule.

Lee’s amendment is the second attempt to divert the funds from trails to bridges. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) proposed the same amendment last week, but according to the league, their efforts stopped it from reaching the floor.

An email to Adams from the lobbying group said the influx of messages against the Paul Amendment stopped it from even reaching the senate floor.

“Thanks to everyone who did alerts and made phone calls yesterday. We heard that we’ve created enough buzz that the Paul Amendment may never see the floor.

Indoor arena for fairgrounds Bleachers planned for immediate improvements Bridget Ryder TVN staff With the county fair right around the corner, the Teton County Fair Board is ready to undertake some major improvements to the county fairgrounds.

A recent incident at the July 4 Rodeo involving broken bleachers and spectators highlighted the need to give the facility some attention. In addition to new bleachers, the Fair Board hopes to begin construction soon on the long-planned indoor arena.

Harley Wilcox, fair board vice president, said the board held a special meeting last week to discuss plans for the facilities. He had asked the Board of County Commissioners at a recent meeting to consider dedicating more resources to the fairgrounds. Commissioner Kathy Rinaldi encouraged the fair board to make a capital improvements plan to prioritize

need at the fairgrounds. There was some discussion about putting the indoor arena on hold in favor of spending the $240,000 raised for it years ago on bleachers and other facility needs.

Wilcox said that in addition to the special meeting, the fair board also contacted the major donors who had contributed to indoor arena fund. Wilcox said the conclusion of the meeting with the board and donors was that a good outdoor riding arena already exists in Teton Valley and the community still wants an indoor arena.

Wilcox said the fair board has a separate fund of $27,000 that will pay for replacing bleachers around the outdoor arena.

Currently, the bleachers are a mishmash of styles, wood, metal and peeling paint. According to Wilcox, spectators have been filling them at this summer’s Fairgrounds continued on A17

Nine seek magistrate judgeship in Teton County

By Steve Kadel Special to the TVN Two Teton Valley residents are among nine candidates to replace retiring Teton County Magistrate Judge Colin Luke.

Locally, Barton Jay Birch of Driggs and Amy Wallace Potter of Victor are among those seeking the position. Other applicants are James Howard Barrett Jr. of Idaho Falls, Theodore Richard Booth of Twin Falls, David Leo Brown of Rigby, Aaron Vance Davis of Rexburg, Margaret Beer Hinman of Idaho Falls,

James D. Holman of Idaho Falls, and Jason David Walker of Fairfield.

The Magistrate Commission for the 7th Judicial District will interview a short list of applicants Sept. 13 in the Teton County Board of County Commissioners meeting room and will make a selection the same day.

Teton County Clerk Mary Lou Hansen said the Idaho Supreme Court will conduct a background check on each candidate. The court will determine which ones get an interview during the September session. The public is invited to attend the interviews,

but cannot make comments.

In addition, questionnaires have been sent to all members of Idaho’s bar seeking information about the nine applicants.

“The Magistrate Commission places quite a bit of weight on that,” Hansen said.

Birch has been an attorney for 12 years, having graduated from the University of Idaho Law School in 2001. He practices in Idaho and Wyoming, and runs the Driggs office for the law firm of Thompson, Smith, Magistrate continued on A16

Canyon’s old plants don’t produce enough good food Ken Levy TVN Staff Second in a series U.S. Forest Service staff and other experts told Teton Canyon visitors July 17 much of the natural-plant habitat is aging and inadequate for feeding wintering wildlife.

Teton Canyon is designated crucial winter range for mule deer, said Aly Courtemanch, habitat biologist for Wyoming Game and Fish.

Historically, about 500 mule deer wintered in the canyon, she said.

“Currently, it’s more like 25-50,” she said. Small numbers of elk winter there occasionally, as do moose. The canyon also served as winter range for bighorn sheep in the late 1800s-early 1900s.

Mountain shrub habitat on the lower south-facing slope serves as mule-deer winter range.

“The area is dominated by very old plants,” Courtemanch said. A survey in 2000 indicated mountain mahogany was about 80 years old average, while sagebrush averaged 60, and serviceberry between 50-60.

“That’s a pretty old stand,” she said.

“We don’t have a lot of young plants coming in.”

Serviceberry is a highly-preferred plant for elk, moose and deer winter diets. New growth, known as leaders, will be available for animals to eat next winter and is what they depend on from the plant.

But the older, larger serviceberry bushes on the slopes have a lot of dead branches, with few leaders and less available food.

“We’re concerned about the habitat here because it’s really dominated with old plants that aren’t very vigorous and aren’t

Aly Courtemanch, habitat biologist for Wyoming Game and Fish, shows the limited growth of a leader of an older serviceberry plant in Teton Canyon. The leaders provide new growth and food for animals. Burdened by many dead branches, many of the plants in the habitat offer little new food for wildlife, she said, and that new growth can be out of reach of deer and elk.

producing very much for the animals to eat,” she said.

“The mountain shrubs on the winter range are very mature, up to 80 years old,” said Dave Ovard, wildlife biologist for the U.S. Forest Service. “They are too tall for deer and elk to reach the forage.”

Ovard said age reduces the nutritional value of forage.

Shrubs, meadows and riparian habitat dominate the valley bottom, he said, with willows and spruce along the creeksides.

While these communities are in fine condition, “most of the spruce is even-aged and mature, which makes it susceptible to insects and fire.”

The spruce would benefit from treatments that would promote regeneration of the spruce, said Ovard.

Prescribed fire is the best way to treat a shrub community for wildlife and fuels reduction, said Courtemanch. Many of the burned plants will re-sprout and come back.

“When fire goes through an area it actually changes the soil and allows the soil to release nutrients that plants can take up,” she said, and the plants that come back after a fire are much more nutritious for the animals.

For example, fireweed that returns has about 6 percent higher crude protein

than before a fire.

“That may not seem like much, said Courtemanch, “but for an animal over the course of a summer, having that slightly higher protein content in their forage makes a big difference for the amount of fat they can gain. They can get pregnant in the fall [and] have higher survival success with their offspring.”

Aspens are the food of choice in the forest.

“Everything wants to eat aspen,” said Ovard. “This tree supports fungus and bacteria, insects, deer, elk and moose.

The above-ground part of the aspen tree is susceptible to many things, but when the mature trees die, the roots sprout up a new stand.”

Compared with about 200 lbs. of forage under a conifer stand, there’s 1000 lbs. of forage under an aspen stand, he said.

Aspen stands are second only to riparian stands in the amount of biodiversity these habitats provide in the Rocky Mountains.

His suggestions include: • Treat winter range shrubs • Treat aspen that is in most danger of dying out • Treat mountain mahogany to restore more traditional shrubs • Treat the conifer to allow for resiliency and biodiversity “What we are hoping for as wildlife biologists is for diversity in the plant community, which will result in diversity of wildlife species,” Ovard said. “By doing some vegetation treatments, we will add to the area’s diversity, health, and resiliency. In Teton Canyon almost all of the habitat is mature.”

Summer road construction project update Voters approved to continue the Special Tax Levy for Roads and Bridges in May 2012. This levy is the county’s primary funding source for our summer road projects. The Teton County Road & Bridge crew has been working hard throughout the county improving our roads. This article will focus on our paved roads and what we are doing to efficiently maintain them.

Teton County maintains 72 miles of paved roads. Only 26 miles of these are actually asphalt pavement. The remaining 46 miles are multiple layers of oil and rock over a gravel surface (chip seal). All paved surfaces need regular treatment as the oils in the pavement deteriorate over time. Teton County typically uses four types of preventative maintenance treatments; • Crack sealing • Fog/rejuvenator seal • Chip seal • Otta seal A crack seal does just that, it seal the cracks in the road. This is typically

Jay T. Mazalewski, PE Director of Public Works

done prior to other treatments and can be seen on S1000E. A fog/rejuvenator seal is a light coat of oil over the road to seal small cracks and rejuvenate the existing oils. A recent fog seal can be seen on Bates Road.

A chip seal is a coat of oil followed by a cover coat of clean, single sized rock and can been seen on E6000N. An Otta seal is a coat of oil followed by cover coat of sand and rock. Otta seals often look like a gravel road for the first two months, but over time, this treatment improves the road surface. The following spring, drivers will notice a considerable improvement in the surface.

E3000S (Darby Rd) is a good example of an Otta seal from last year. This year, Bates Road from 5000W to 7000W will receive an Otta seal. Road cyclists should

take note as an Otta seal surface is a rough riding surface for the first year.

The treatment used on a road depends on the road condition and use. Some roads have deteriorated beyond treatment and need to be completely rebuilt.

Think of the road surface like siding on your house; it is cheaper to paint it every three years than to replace the siding every seven years!

Our summer road projects are available on the county website or “Click on ‘County Roads’ under the ‘Quick Links section on the home page to view an interactive map showing our projects.

On our site you will also find articles about the road levy and the many projects it funds. Keep in mind that without funding provided by the voter approved levy, none of these projects would be possible.

Please remember, that Road & Bridge crews are working to make your roads smoother, safer, and longer lasting.

When you see them working on your road, slow down and give them a wave and a smile. Thank you.

A moose story

TVN

Scott Anderson TVN Staff he last few months have been pretty heated. We have heard both sides of the Redskins dispute, have an elected official facing a recall and read many opinions as to why county commissioners are good or evil. We hear about a great divide in the community. Some blame religion; others say politics are the reason. It’s so easy to focus on the negative that we often forget what makes this valley so great.

Last month I received a call from a good friend asking for my help in catching a baby moose after its mother was found dead. The moose must have only been a few days old and we both knew if we didn’t catch it, it would die.

Despite it already being a busy day, I threw on my boots and headed out the door. It felt good to be part of a rescue mission for this lost moose. What started out being a few individuals slowly began to grow. I was amazed to see how many locals came out to search. Each person could have made 10 excuses as to why they didn’t have time. Moose die all the time in the wild, its survival of the fittest.

Each of us were different. Some were Democrats, others Republicans. We had VARD lovers and haters. We had pas-

sionate arguments on both sides of the Redskins dispute. But none of that mattered. All we cared about was finding that baby moose. Ten minutes turned into a few hours. It was about that time we found it.

Working as a team we surrounded the now exhausted baby and were able to bring it to its new safe home, made possible by one of its rescuers. A man who was willing to wake up many times during the night to bottle feed it. It felt good spending the morning not thinking about myself.

The next day while in Rexburg, I received a call that there was another, its twin. I was unable to help because of the distance, but I had no doubt others would step up and help. And by no surprise they did.

We can spend our days pointing out our difference, shouting louder then the next and bickering about the divide in the county. But from what I witnessed, this is not the case. This valley is full of loving and caring people. If so many would drop everything for a baby moose, just think what they would do for their neighbor.

In that edition, a story on the Driggs City Council and mayor getting raises stated the council approved the first of three readings of an ordinance that would give those raises. The council considered the ordinance first read, and still has two readings, with a final vote, before it is fully approved.

Regarding Driggs’ restaurant and retail revenues, those numbers are already at 17 percent above pre-recession peaks, according to Mayor Dan Powers.

Letters to the editor Intelligence a threat Congratulations boys, you have succeeded in gutting our planning dept. and in doing so managed to drive Angie to resign. She was without a doubt the most skilled, intelligent, planner we will have in a long time.

Intelligence seems to be a threat to those who would like to see the valley go backwards to the “good old days.”

Well there are 5,000 more people here with demands for services and expect a certain level of governmental guidance. I hate to report that those “good old days” are history and memories will have to be enough.

I ask the question – who in their right mind would apply for a planner’s position knowing they can be tried on a moment’s notice with absolutely no reason given? As well, not be given any idea of what is expected of them or the direction to take the county.

Seems like an invitation for gross incompetence to me but I remain hopeful.

The sad thing is that the very people you two think you are helping will take a beating in last property value.

It’s a sad situation we have.

Sincerely, Richard Grundler Driggs

Hop out of the pot A contradictory bit of a rant by Jim Kleine last week while the village idiot was still allowed to exercise his first amendment right via your newspaper.

That tea-bag sniffing frog in the pot set on the burner obviously thinks the only purpose of hot water is to steep tea. Perhaps if he departed the comfort and beauty of our local environment for a bit and stepped outside his US Park Service government job, he just might find his eyes opening to the realities concerned Americans are facing around the nation.

Mr. Kleine’s cute quiz along with his self-serving answers promote the maxim that if you tell a lie often enough, people will believe it. You can bet that the many citizens across our great Nation who have been subject to the abuses of the culture of corruption (including the PC Police, DHS, TSA, IRS, DOE, BATF, EPA, etc., etc.) bent on controlling every aspect of our nanny-state lives would answer the quiz quite differently.

Those of you who obtain your news from sources other than (or in addition to) the liberal mainstream media know what the TEA in tea party represents and there is no greater waste of time than trying to convince the gimme’ mine, I’m entitled to that, head in the sand, low-information Obama voter what has gone wrong with this country the past few years.

James Madison said, “Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” The current scandals and failures (Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS, Media hacking, NSA, Common Core, and, yes, Obamacare), which our “commander in chief” refuses to accept any responsibility for, are a few discovered examples of the means our government is employing to whittle away the rights granted by our Constitution - which, by the way in a 2001 radio interview, Obama called a “charter of negative liberties” (meaning a constraint on the government’s power).

Daniel Webster once said, “God grants liberty only to those who love it and are always ready to guard and defend it.” Rather than making any attempts at uniting our Nation in good purpose, the President has inserted himself in issues of race, class, and lifestyle choices to stir us up against

ourselves and divert our attention from the socialist agenda. Is that the kind of leadership Mr. Kleine prefers to the values and principles promoted

by TEA Party advocates? Those who accept the US President’s excuse that “phony scandals” are the cause of the “Government taking its eye off the ball”, thereby causing the economy to further crater, might want to clue him in that he is the government.

And as Samuel Adams remarked, “If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom (italics mine), go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Tony Goe Victor

They’re baaaack Well, they are baaaack, the liberal/ socialist/progressives, and when they don’t have an argument they just open their pretty little potty mouths and spew vulgar, disgusting insults. If you don’t know what the author of last week’s “A quiz for our citizens” was calling conservatives do yourself a favor and don’t ask.

That writer destroyed his quiz with the first question (but maybe he didn’t read it): He asks, “Can you still attend church and read and own religious materials?” Then he sang: “Yes you can.” Did he mean to use the word “still”? When he says “still” he admits that he knows we “still” have that right today -- but maybe not tomorrow. Obama has already taken that right away from our military. Does potty mouth know that there are military chaplains who have been told by their superiors that they can’t write articles about God or mention Jesus in their services? Freedom of religion?

These are chaplains, for heaven’s sake.

Also, in this little quiz, he asks us this question: “Has the sheriff entered your home without a warrant and seized your property or conducted a search.” Well no, not in Teton County and not our sheriff, at least not yet, but it is happening all across the nation thousands of times and is happening daily at an exponentially increasing rate.

And potty mouth reminds us that Medicare is a government program. Really? You mean along with food stamps and obamaphones and all of that? Couldn’t have guessed.

Obama wants refocus on economy Five years into a presidency that still has not delivered on initial economic campaign promises, President Obama at a speech at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill., again stressed the need for a stronger second-term commitment to tackling the economic woes afflicting mainly the middle class.

The icing on the cake came when he scolded Congress for being less concerned about the economy and more focused on “an endless parade of distractions, political posturing and phony scandals.”

Quite brazen comments by a president who is up to his own eyeballs on issues about IRS abuse and persecution of anti-Obama not-for-profit political organizations and individuals; still unanswered questions about Fast and Furious; an unknown timeline of events and lack of military support leading to the deaths of four Americans at the US Embassy in Benghazi and numerous questions about NSA and DOJ intrusions into media private phone records and e-mails under the guise of national

security.

He and Attorney General Eric Holder are concerned about the failure of the jury to convict George Zimmerman of second degree murder, and Holder is seeking possible Civil Rights violations against him.

This is the same president who had a Congressional super majority for the first two years of his first term in the White House, and instead of tackling major issues with the economy, unemployment and entitlements, wasted endless days and political capital rolling out what was purported to be the crown jewel of his administration.

Ironically, the mustard has come off the hot dog with regard to Obama Care, or as it officially is called, the Affordable Care Act which is proving to be not so affordable.

As Nancy Pelosi so emphatically stated in what has proven to be one of her less intelligent quotes, “We have to pass it to be able to read it to know what’s in it.”

Now that some members of Congress actually have read parts of it, they are finding this law has more holes than Swiss cheese.

Even some of the Dems who lauded him years ago for his move to transition America to universal health care and a single payer system now are criticizing Obama for a plan that faces a one-year postponement of employer health care mandates With over 9.5 million employable Americans out of the work force and an increase of over 15 million more citizens on food stamps, this country now has more people receiving entitlements (over 103 million) than those currently employed in the private sector (93 million).

Social Security is not an entitlement, although often misstated as one, because employees actually paid into the fund from which they now are receiving benefits.

Also, let’s not forget that for the past six months of his second term, Obama has hammered gun control and immigration issues.

Considering that our economy has experienced a paltry growth of 0.9% per year in the past four years amid increasing taxes, more government spending and mounting regulations, maybe the White House needs to reassess its policies rather than dusting off a speech very similar to the one which Obama delivered at this same college back in 2005 when he was a junior senator from the state of Illinois.

Or, maybe he and his staffers did not realize that we would know it was the SOS. Tom M. Walsh Swan Valley

Campbell said someone driving down Ski Hill Road called the sheriff’s office sometime before 7 a.m.

Campbell said all the walls are standing and they were able to save a majority of the house, but added it was an expensive, well furnished home and “there is a lot of loss.”

Campbell said the fire was contained about 45 minutes after arrival on scene and they started pulling units from the fire around 9:40 a.m.

“This was a different fire, we don’t have too many like that,” said Campbell.

There was no estimated cost damage and a cause is still being determined.

TVCH is also in the process of implementing a 340B pharmacy program. The federal program allows the hospital to work with local pharmacies to provide discounts on certain pharmaceuticals. The program started July 1 and the hospital will have everything in place by the fall to pass on the savings to patients. The federal government sets the discount rates, but Gnagey said he hoped to focus the program on medications for chronic illnesses such as diabetes. Patients must qualify and have their prescriptions written through the hospital to participate.

Loyola said the hospital has one capital improvement planned for next year.

TVCH is replacing its x-ray and fluoroscopy unit. Loyola and Gnagey said it’s a pre-planning measure because getting replacement parts for the aging units has become harder. The replacement also requires a remodel of the x-ray room.

Loyola said the project is scheduled for completion for Spring 2014.

The Board of Trustees is in the final stages of renewing its contract with Gnagey. The new contract will be for three years with a February 1 start date.

Although base feeds are good on their own, animals react to mixed feed differently and sometimes don’t handle it well, and she adjusts diets to keep them from getting sick.

Adele and her cousin, Amy Moulton, are showing lamb and pig this year, and Amy’s brother William, 5, is showing a pig in the Clover Bud contest.

Adele said her lambs get a mix of a half-pound of Cache Commodities Lamb Flex mixed with six ounces of Purina Power Fuel and two pounds of oats.

Amy said two lambs will be shown at the Teton County Fair and two more at the State Fair in Blackfoot this year. The former need more muscle, she said. Lambs get walked at least once a day to convert energy and build stamina.

Adele said that helps them get used to being out of the pen, and weighing them gets them used to going in and out of a trailer.

William Moulton, 5, will be showing a pig in the Clover Bud category for the second time at the Teton County Fair.

The category is for under 8-year-olds.

The youngsters can’t sell their animals but can win prizes for show.

Figure 8 races close out county fair Rachael Horne TVN staff While there are still several unknowns for this year’s Figure 8 races that will close out a week of fair activities, Teton County Fair Board vice president Harley Wilcox said they are expecting a bigger turnout than last year. This year’s race will be on Saturday, Aug. 10 at 7 p.m.

The Figure 8 races are a combination of elements from oval racing, road racing and a demolition derby done on a track shaped like the number 8.

“People run into each other,” said Wilcox. “It’s like an intersection without a light.”

Racers must complete a certain number of laps while being careful to avoid the other drivers.

Wilcox said he’s not sure how many cars and drivers will be in this year’s event. He said people tend to register right up until before the start. He’s also not sure if there will be a women’s only “powder puff” heat.

In years past, Figure 8 racing at the fair has drawn drivers from St.

Anthony, Rexburg and Jackson as well as locally from the Valley. Wilcox said last year they held the races on a Sunday to try and work around other race schedules and events in the region. The turnout wasn’t as good as past years and Wilcox said with the event returning to a Saturday night, they are expecting a bigger crowd and more action on the raceway.

The entry fee is $50 per car.

Entries will be accepted on a first come, first entered basis. Late registration is an additional $25.

There will be 7 heats, limited to a maximum of 6 entries each. Only the top 3 cars of each heat will advance to the semi-finals. Total entries for the Figure 8 Races will be limited to 42 cars. There may be a loser’s heat, depending on the number of entries.

This is a Jackpot Figure 8 Race.

The top three finishers will receive cash awards. In addition, a trophy will be awarded to the Grand Champion.

Registration forms, rules and regulations are available at the Teton County Fair Office located in the University of Idaho 4-H extension office in Driggs.

Connecting State Line to South Leigh one step closer Bridget Ryder TVN staff Thanks to a Driggs couple, Wyoming residents are one step closer to having easier access to their community.

James and Marlene Price donated a road easement to Teton County Wyoming that could allow it to extend State Line Road north from 5000N in Idaho.

It means a direct route to Ski Hill Road, Driggs, and Alta for residents in the northeast corner of Alta in the area of South Leigh Creek.

“The main issue there is we’ve been trying to fix the bridges so people can go back and forth,” James Price said. “Because we had bridges on our property and we didn’t mind our neighbors using it, but now everyone uses it.”

The few residents near South Leigh Creek either have to drive around to Tetonia before heading back to Driggs or go through Price’s fields on his private roads.

Price has been farming in Alta since 1951, but the increase in traffic in recent years is taking its toll.

“I didn’t mind our neighbors using it, but now its been developing a pattern,” he said. “99 percent of the people are great but 1 percent of the people who take an issue like that think it’s to have fun and break things up.”

No trespassing signs have usually been knocked down he said. He’s worked with other farmers in the area to keep the roads that access their fields and houses in good repair but he said they could make better use of the ground if it were more protected from traffic. He’s happy to give the space for the road and just wants to see Teton County Wyoming do what he said they promised they would 20 years ago.

“We felt it was kind of an injustice and they said we need an easement, and I said my word, there’s been an easement there for as long as I can remember,” Price said.

Marlene and James Price recently donated a road easement to Teton County Wyoming that could eventually allow the county to connect the rest of State Line Road north to residents on the other side of South Leigh Creek.

divided the maintenance of State Line road, between the two Teton Counties.

Idaho is responsible to the road south of Ski Hill Road and Wyoming has charge of the thoroughfare on the north side. But the two counties have different accounts of how far the road extended. According to Keith Gingery, civil attorney for Teton County Wyoming, the Wyoming records show the road ending at 5000N. In Idaho, Jay Mazalewski, county engineer and public works director, said the county established in 2006 that the section of road extending to 6000N historically appeared on county right-of-way maps, which means at least the north bound already existed.

Wyoming ends its maintenance of State Line Road at 5000N where it basically becomes a dirt two track closely hemmed by trees and grass. But Price remembers days when he drove grain trucks down a more welcoming path and crossed a bridge over South Leigh Creek to reach 6000N. In those days only ranchers and farmers roved the area, but now residential homes sit among the fields.

“It would just help people who live over on that side on South Leigh Creek that want to go to the school, see their children’s play and what not,” Price said.

And Wyoming appreciates Price’s gift.

“He was very kind and, for free, donated that easement. So that’s huge deal for us,”

Gingery said.

Teton County Wyoming still needs to secure easements for other sections of the road, which Gingery said he is working on.

However, according to Gingery, citizens will have to lobby county commissioners hard to get the resources to actually build the road. He said the Wyoming commissioners are under a lot of pressure to pave the first section of State Line Rd. It’s hard to make extending the road a priority because the pavement would serve more people than the extension. Gingery said it’s a multi year project with a lot of moving parts.

But Price has already put one important piece in place.

Geotourism Center, Plaza move forward Ken Levy TVN Staff Plan One Architects, working with Studio Tectonic, exhibit designer, is moving into the design development stage for the Teton Geotourism Center in Driggs.

The Driggs City Council July 23 approved the design concept of the long-anticipated center, which will feature about 2,757 square feet of exhibit space, 24-hour lobby and restrooms with a seating area and information desk nearby and natural and low-maintenance materials, said Garrett Chadwick, associate principal for Plan One. Studio Tectonic is a sub-consultant on the project.

The permanent exhibition space would tell the stories of the social and natural history of the west side of the Tetons, including seasonal recreational opportunities.

Design concepts include a conceptual floor plan that includes permanent and rotating exhibits, a traveler information area with seating area and retail sales areas.

Chadwick said the designers are working with Design Workshop, which is developing concepts for the outside plaza, a separately-funded yet integrated project.

Together, the projects could seem separate, said Chadwick, “but we want to avoid that at all costs. We want to make it feel very much like one” between the byway center and the plaza.

A river feature, representing the Teton River with tributaries, would weave through the plaza and integrate with the byway center’s exhibit entries.

The building’s design includes transparent areas where visitors can see inside and out. Horizontal siding is inspired by old wood silos, Chadwick said, with the stacked effect of those structures. Metal exterior panels would require little maintenance.

Some of the conceptual exhibit highlights include transitional summer-to-winter and winter-to-summer settings in the geotourism center, with a stream on the

floor and a video that takes you downriver as you sit in available inside. Chadwick said research from exhibit a drift boat.

Teton Valley News empowering the community

licans and Democrats have weighed in with the Transportation, HUD appropriations committee against the amendment.

A strong showing here sets us up from progress next year,” an email from last Thursday said.

Adams said funding for the Alternative Transportation Program is only a sliver of the larger transportations fund, MAP-21, but losing the program would be a loss for communities such as Teton Valley.

According to Adams the $1.3 million awarded to Teton Valley is only a drop in the bucket of the huge project of national bridge repair. Adams said if the federal government defunds the trails program in favor of bridges, Teton County wouldn’t get the money back for a bridge project.

Eliminating the Alternative Transportation Program would also signify a loss of local control. According to Adams, mayors and their governments have a lot of leeway in deciding how the federal money is used in their communities.

The grant is an economic boon for Teton County because the project would employ locals in building the bike path and surrounding infrastructure. Trails are also proven drivers for local economies.

Supporters of bike paths and trails won the first battle. However, the League of American Bicyclists says it fears the House of Representatives will take up an identical amendment and stealthily pass it in the fury of law making before Congress’ August recess.

“The House of Representatives will be debating the Transportation, HUD Appropriations bill under an open rule, meaning anyone can introduce an amendment at any time. We are concerned we’ll see a copy-cat amendment to Paul’s in the House,” a July 29 entry on their website read. “The House will start the debate at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday with the goal of continuing until they finish. This means we could see an amendment at 6 p.m. or as late as 3 a.m. —and with only an hour or so of notice.”

Wednesday morning the league reported on their website that the House of Representatives postponed voting on the

transportation appropriations bill until September.

They asked their members to be ready at any moment to use outlets such as Twitter to notify congressmen and senators of their opposition.

In Teton Valley, Adams is ready to build a trail when the money is there.

“Assuming nothing happens to the funding we’ll be moving forward,” he said.

The grant money has to be used in the next fiscal year. The details of the trail’s design will be worked out in coming months to start construction next summer and the project should be completed in the fall.

The plan has several components. The new section of bike path would extend the Victor-Driggs trail along the Old Jackson Highway from Moose Creek Road to the state line. It also includes repairing the bridge over Moose Creek and constructing a parking lot at the new trailhead.

The grant is part of the Federal Land Access Program or FLAP, which seeks to increase access to public lands.

Teton County Wyoming had also applied for a grant to build a trail from Mail Cabin to the state line. Adams said they did receive the award but plan to leverage Idaho’s project and the opportunity to create more connectivity in next year’s application.

Fairgrounds rodeos.

“It was packed to standing room only at the July 4 rodeo and they didn’t really advertise,” Wilcox said. “We’re glad that people that are putting on the rodeo are having a good turn out and we want to provide them some good seats.”

The Fair Board is shopping around for bleachers to seat 1,000 people.

Wilcox said the board is going to build the best arena it can with the $240,000 it raised. The current plan is a build out from the pavilion. It extends the existing structure 60 feet by 100 feet and encloses it with walls to create an arena 100 feet by 140 feet.

Fire regulations will limit the capacity to 50 people until a sprinkler fire suppression system is installed. Wilcox said that during the summer, the doors could be propped open to allow for more people. The dirt in the arena can also be rolled to host other events such as concerts.

Bathrooms are planned for the second phase.

Wilcox has a long list of improvements that could enhance the somewhat thrown together facility.

“For the fair they set up animal pens and a big top tent that somebody donated. It works but its not the best,” he said.

Proper poultry and livestock pens for displaying animals during the fair would be a huge improvement to the grounds.

The board wants to one day move the outdoor arena closer to the road and build a covered grand stand. Wilcox would also like to see stalls for boarding horses over

“Most other counties have those kind of facilities,” he said.

It’s a self-regulated system and travelers with horses leave a donation in a box. Wilcox gets calls from travelers coming through Teton County wondering if there’s a place to camp and keep their horses at the fair grounds. He encourages them to use the facilities there and to leave a donation. According to Wilcox, one camper donated a saddle for the 4-H Club auction.

He then bought the saddle himself for $400 and donated back to the 4-H Club. Now 4-H is selling raffle tickets for the saddle.

That donation may be exceptional, but Wilcox said out that the more improvements the county makes to fairgrounds, the more money people will be willing to pay to use it.

He also wants to add more greenscape such as trees and grass to make the area more appealing and usable for people not involved in livestock.

He estimates that overall usage at the grounds is up by about 15 percent this year from last.

“We’re just getting a lot more users,” he said.

Summer reading 2013 Paige Woolstenhulme TVN Intern

I

t might feel like we are transitioning right into fall with recent wet weather, but summer isn’t over yet. One of the best parts of the season is perhaps a little more time to relax and read. What would the summer be without a round-up of some books to put on your reading list? So get your hammock, your suntan lotion and those cool new sunglasses, and go on an adventure without ever leaving your deck chair.

Here are some great suggestions, whether they be summer themed or just too good not to read.

A little romance Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks—How could Nicholas Sparks not have made this list? A perfect summer novel not to mention recently released movie, this story about two people serendipitously finding a safe home where they never thought they could is nothing less than heartwarming.

The History of Love by Nicole Krauss— Two girls named Alma, a manuscript, and the story Leo Gursky, a man who’s been left in the dust, The History of Love is a novel that perhaps borders on being just too beautiful.

Magic and mystery Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern—What better event to attend in the summer heat but a magical circus?

With a splash of backdoor love and an epic battle, the mysterious Le Cirque des Rêves is sure to catch your attention.

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe—The Salem Witch trials were just too noteworthy of an event not to write about. Based off of her own background (minus the actual magic), Katherine Howe has woven an impressively articulate and mischievously absorbing book about history and its hidden messages.

For teens The Fault in Our Stars by John Green— Two teens, Augustus and Hazel, meet at a Cancer Kid Support Group, not realizing that their lives are about to be rewritten by each other. This celebrated novel won the 2012 Goodreads Choice of the Year Award.

Elenor and Park by Rainbow Rowell—If you’re tired of vampires and teen wolves, you’ll be pleased to know a lot of critics are saying realistic “Young Adult” is the new trend. In Eleanor and Park, the two title characters meet on a school bus after he sees she’s reading a comic book. She’s weird and poor. He’s middle-class, the son of a veteran and his Korean wife. They bond and navigate their home and school life together.

For kids Umbrella Summer by Lisa Graff—Young Annie is scared of life. After her brother’s death, she’s afraid to do the things she used to do. Everyone tells her not to worry, but it takes a new neighbor, who looks as plain as a box of toothpicks but has some surprising secrets of her own, to help Annie close her umbrella of sadness and step back into the sunshine.

Pie by Sarah Weeks—Alice’s Aunt Polly owns a pie shoppe called Pie. When Aunt Polly passes away, Alice finds out she left all her recipes to her cat, Lardo.

Now Alice is left to care for Lardo and she must figure out what it all means along with the really important ingredients, like family and friendship.

Get a tissue The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

by Rachel Joyce—While walking out to the post office to mail a letter to a friend who is dying of cancer, Harold Fry does indeed take an ‘unlikely pilgramage’ by continuing walking. In fact 627 miles of walking, to be exact, toward his dear friend in this book filled to the brim with tearfully amazing moments.

Life of Pi by Yann Martel—A boy named Pi, a tiger, and the vast questions of humanity and religion fill this book up to the brim. Be sure to have a heart for adventure, a love of boating, and a box of Kleenex.

Non fiction Wild by Cheryl Strayed.

You’ve seen it at the airport and on Oprah’s list. But Wild might be relatable to many who’ve ended up in Teton Valley. At 22, Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother’s death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than 1,000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington state—and she would do it alone.

The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin—Slid in the bookshelves along classics such as Julie and Julia and Eat, Pray, Love, Gretchen Rubin recounts a year in which she attempts to become truly happy.

Who knows, maybe this book will inspire such a project in you.

Classics to silver screen The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald— With the major motion film just released in May, this is the perfect time to jump back in time to the rolling twenties and experience the summer-themed classic of gangsters, prohibition and scandalous romance all over again.

The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien—Just before the second installment of Peter Jackson’s awe-inspiring films, you can get your quick hobbit-fix. Originally written for the author’s children, The Hobbit is just as entertaining and full of action for adults and teens alike.

Runners primed for 37th annual John Colter race

By Steve Kadel Special to the TVN

Runners with goals as modest as finishing a short fun run and those hoping to conquer the full 26.2-mile marathon distance will toe the starting line Saturday for the 37th annual John Colter Races.

The events, presented by Dreamchasers and Peaked Sports, all begin at Driggs City Park and proceed east on Ski Hill Road. Race organizers Dick Weinbrandt and Jay Batchen emphasize that participants may pre-register in Driggs at Dreamchasters, 47 S. Main St., or Peaked Sports, 70 E. Little Ave. Race-day entries will be taken at the park from 6 to 8:30 a.m.

Starting times look like this: marathon runners and marathon relay teams of two to four people, 6:30 a.m.; halfmarathoners, 8 a.m.; 10k, 5k and fun run participants, 9 a.m. Results and awards will be presented at 11 a.m.

Pre-registration fees for each event before race day are $70, marathon; $140, marathon relay; $40, half marathon; $30, 10k; $25, 5k; and no fee for the fun run. Those amounts change to $80, $200, $50, $40 and $35 respectively for sign-up on race day.

The races are an extension of the Tin Cup Challenge, which benefits 47 local nonprofits. Runners who finish

athlete of the

Week

first, second or third in their events win money from entry fees that may be directed to the nonprofit of their choice.

For example, the male and female marathon winners and half-marathon winners each will receive about $260 to disburse to a nonprofit or to split between two or more nonprofits, Batchen said.

The money available for second place in those events will be $195 while thirdplace finishers will get to award $130.

Lesser amounts are available to the top three finishers in the 10k and 5k races.

Age group winners will get about $45 to award.

“We are trying to put (the money) back and support the local community,” Weinbrandt said But nonprofits aren’t the only ones who will benefit from the races. Weinbrandt emphasized that the marathon and half-marathon events are likely to draw many entrants from outside the area.

People will rent lodging and fill local restaurants, Weinbrandt and Batchen noted.

“People want to come and do a marathon and see a nice place,” Weinbrandt said, adding that running races are a way to develop low-impact tourism in Teton Valley.

Entry statistics for the 2012 Tin Cup Challenge marathon showed that 75

percent of participants were non-locals.

It’s unknown how many people will enter this year’s various events, Weinbrandt said.

The marathon course will be 58 percent on dirt road and 42 percent on pavement. Aid stations will be placed at 19 spots along the marathon course.

The start and finish aid station will have Gatorade, cold water, ice, energy bars, bananas, potato chips, pretzels and bread with butter and jam, according to organizers.

Roads will be open to motorists throughout Saturday’s races. However, organizers said “race in progress” signs will be posted to alert drivers to potential dangers. In addition, police cars will escort runners and officers will stop traffic at the 10k and 5k turnarounds.

Runners are requested to run on the right side of the road. Dogs are permitted if they are kept on a short leash and their owners pick up after them. No other animals are allowed on the course.

Organizers said in a news release that elevation rises and falls throughout each course.

“Don’t expect to set a PR but do expect to be treated to some spectacular scenery,” according to the release.

More information is available by calling Batchen at 787-2077 or Weinbrandt at 354-2354.

Nanaki Singh and Marissa Miller Nanaki Singh took sixth place in the 50 meter backstroke and Marissa Allen took 8th in both the 100 meter freestyle and the 50 breaststroke during the USA Swimming Summer Championships long course in Boise, Idaho over the weekend.

The competition was a statewide meet with athletes competing from Idaho and Oregon. Both girls are members of the Teton Piranhas USA Swimming club.

Rachael Horne TVN staff In their first year in AA, the highest level of American Legion Baseball, the Jackson Hole Giants Wyoming Legion baseball team will head into the state tournament with a 34-26 record and a No. 2 seed.

Led by talent on the West side of the Tetons, the Giants are having their best season since 2006.

Zach Neuhaus leads the team in batting average with .349. Braiden Jorgensen is leading the pitching staff with an ERA of 1.79 and Sean Riley leads the team in home runs with six.

The Giants opened play against the Sheridan Troopers on Wednesday, but a score was unavailable as of press time..

The tournament runs through Saturday and is double-elimination style.

Wheatland took the No. 1 seed, a team the Giants lost to Friday, 5-4.

“We had a chance to beat them,” said coach Jason Huggins. “It was a great game, but they got the best of us that night.”

Huggins said both teams had good pitching, but his team left guys on base.

In the state tournament, he said ,keys to success will come down to pitching and timely hits.

“We’ll rely heavily on our arms,” he said.

The Giants will look to Preston Hadfield, Jorgensen, Tristan Shockley, Cole McCallum and Colton Bleggi on the mound.

“It will really come down to arms and timely hitting,” said Huggins. “We’ve been hitting the ball well, but the timing isn’t’ there.”

Huggins said their defense has been solid all year.

“We’ll see what happens at state, but if we can shut some teams down with good pitching, score enough runs to win and our defense stays good, we’ve got a good shot.”

Huggins said this year’s team has taken strides over the last five years to get them in the position they are.

“The players have done a great job of building the program and they are starting to see the benefits,” he said.

“We feel pretty good right now. I’m happy where we ended up and proud of they way they all committed to this team. It’s a long summer and it can be taxing, but they have done amazing.”

The state tournament runs July 31-August 4 at Powers Field in Cheyenne, Wyo. A first place finish will send the team to the AA Regional tournament in Eugene, Oregon August 8-12.

Tribes celebrate 50th Festival The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes are scheduled to celebrate their 50th Annual Festival with a week of planned activities Aug. 8-11, 2013, in Fort Hall, Idaho. The Festival is the largest cultural celebration in Southeastern Idaho, and one of the most popular in the entire Northwest region.

Since time immemorial Native Americans have held festival celebrations to gather together, participate in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships and making new ones. This is a time to celebrate Native American culture and preserve the rich heritage of the Native Americans across United States and Canada. The Tribes welcome everyone to join and share their cultural celebration.

The Annual Shoshone-Bannock Tribes’ Festival began in the early 1960’s. It has grown progressively by adding other activities of interest besides the Powwow such as; crowning of Miss Shoshone-Bannock, children’s powwow, hand-game tournaments, Indian relay races, arts and crafts vendors, Jr/Sr. rodeo, Indian games, parades, golf tournaments, Indian Art

Show, INFR Tour rodeo, fun Run/Walk.

The Tribes recently added the Fort Hall Skate Jam, Eagle Eye and Weiser Indian Reunion, and Shoshone Reunion.

A detailed schedule of activities can be found on their website at sbtribes.com/ festival or visit the Facebook page at facebook.com/shoshone-bannocktribes.

This year the Shoshone-Bannock Festival Committee is offering everyone free admission to the Powwow ground activities to encourage the surrounding communities to come and take part in the traditional and modern activities, and to visit over 60 unique arts and craft booths showcasing Native American art work and jewelry and, most popular, their museumquality beadwork and brain-tanned deer hides handcrafted by Shoshone-Bannock Tribal members. Buy local and genuine Native American.

Gate admission fees will still apply to Rodeo and Indian Relay events due to the high cost of holding those events. The Tribes welcome the entire community to come and celebrate with them at the largest cultural celebration in southeast Idaho.

The T.A. Moulton Barn awaits centennial celebrations July 20, 2013.

Moulton Barn turns 100

Restoration needs help Ken Levy TVN Staff

Cables and bracing beams are stabilizing the T.A. Moulton barn in Grand Teton National Park.

For now.

Volunteers did the work to get restoration of the barn underway in advance of the July 20 centennial celebration of the world’s most photographed barn.

Logs and the roof won’t collapse yet, but the work was just an emergency stabilization, said Harrison Goodall, historical preservationist from Conservation Services, Langley, WA. and a leader of the efforts to preserve the barn.

The celebration was also a plea to help raise funds to restore the barn and, by extension, much of the rest of what remains of the buildings along Mormon Row. One of the preservation concerns with every building in Mormon Row is, due to snowmelt combined with freeze and thaw, the building will move up and down, “and each time it goes down a little bit farther than what it comes up,” said Goodall.

That’s true of most of the buildings here, he said, and unfortunately, “many of them are ready to go away and never return again. Are we going to allow that to happen?”

Goodall took visitors on a tour of the log structure and talked about its history and change, its construction and the pressures of age and harsh weather on it.

“When they’re made out of logs, when the roof puts pressure down because of snow, it starts pushing the logs out,” he said. “They’re rolling out, and if they went any farther the whole thing would just push apart.”

Evolution of a barn and family “From the outside, this is a very classic Western barn,” said Goodall.

It has a gabled roof, started out with a center section and then, as life and needs evolved for the Moultons, additions were put on either side as sheds River rock was used at the base.

The first and center part of the barn was built in 1913 like a box, without the gable roof and hayloft. It stayed that way for 13 years, said Goodall.

Then the loft was built with yet more logs, and the gable roof built on top. You can see the logs, and the notches where they intersect, have a different look.

Logs were hauled out of nearby Timber Island with a horse and sleigh, to help build the rest of the barn.

Five years later, a contract changed for the mail route, and additional horses were needed, said Goodall. A shed for 5-6 horses was added on the left side of the barn as you face it, and, about eight years after that, the other shed was built for hogs.

Historic buildings are a great venue for telling stories of the past, said Goodall.

Moulton has another barn, referred to as Moulton’s Cove in Spring City, Utah. He said the 110-year-old structure has a corrugated tin roof and has a theater and dance hall.

The celebration of the 100th birthday of the barn included raffles and silent auctions to help fundraise for the restoration of the barn. Katherine Wonson, cultural resources specialst for Grand Teton National Park, said the famTVN Photo/Ken Levy ily raised $13,000 that morning, Clark Moulton, Jr., grandson of T.A.

‘Deal finders’open flower, gift shop in Victor

By Steve Kadel Special to the TVN A new business is taking root in Victor in a century-old cabin with the feeling of the European countryside.

It’s just what co-owners Angie Belliston, 32, and Lynette Staker, 39, wanted for their Cottage Creations Floral and Gifts.

“It’s the perfect place because it’s so charming,” Staker said of the cabin once owned by the Cherry family.

It sits tucked among flowers and bushes at 7095 S. Highway 33, next to Trail Creek Nursery. Inside, there’s a generous selection of flowers along with unique gifts priced from $1 to $100.

The latter are things that Staker finds at thrift shops and family sales. Then she works her magic to turn them into treasures. Staker restores wooden furniture, and creates wreaths, dried flower arrangements, lampshades and other items you won’t see anywhere else.

“She’s very creative,” Belliston said.

“She likes finding diamonds in the rough to paint and embellish.”

Belliston learned the art of flower

arranging from her mother, who formerly owned a Teton Valley floral shop.

“It came easily to me,” she said. “It will be fun to share my talents with the community.”

Belliston said they want to provide flowers for all kinds of special occasions, including weddings. She buys flowers from a Salt Lake City company that trucks the plants to Victor overnight “so they’re nice and fresh,” she said.

Eventually, Belliston wants to purchase flowers from local growers.

Staker emphasizes that they want to keep prices affordable for Teton Valley residents.

“We’re priced to fit a niche that wasn’t here before,” she said.

“We are deal finders and like to pass things on to our customers,” Belliston added.

Cottage Creations held its grand opening July 26-27. From now on it will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday.

More information is available by calling the shop at 787-4438.

garden. This can include a water feature, a curving wandering pathway, a unique rock, an especially beautiful plant, or a comfortable seating area where friends can catch up and relax. Included in the view is privacy, which is an integral part of a serene garden. Size of your garden does not determine how much privacy you have, only the ability to reduce outside influences will. Large gardens can give a sense of privacy and openness at the same time by the use of screenings, focal points, and views. Small gardens are easier to be made into a private space as it requires less resources to screen out unwanted sources of distraction.

The last aspect of creating a serene garden is often forgotten or neglected when people are building and planting their landscapes, and that aspect is smell. You use all of your senses whether consciously or unconsciously, and the smells you encounter in an environment will affect the kind of experience that you have. Let’s say you enter into a secluded garden setting and smell flow-

ers in bloom, earth right after rain, or the refreshing fragrance of wet pine trees. In contrast a garden that reeks of car exhaust or other unnatural odors will be an unwelcome setting no matter how beautiful it may visually appear. Planting grass, fragrant trees, shrubs, and flowers, maintaining a clean and fresh water feature, and using soil coverings like bark or soil pep can all contribute to a more positive odor in your serene garden. General cleanliness will help to prevent foul smells that may be produced from things like decomposing plant material. Locating your private garden away from odorous areas or at least upwind will also help to reduce undesirable experiences.

Serene gardens can be personal, and an excellent way to express what you enjoy most in the natural outdoor world.

Good luck and happy gardening.

Published in the Teton Valley News August 1, 2013

Recycling is relatively new to the residents of Teton Valley, and participation in the program often requires a change in habits. Long-time residents who have lived here since before recycling was available are learning how to recycle for the first time, while newcomers who moved here from bigger communities often have to learn how to sort their recyclables differently. Home composting is gaining popularity, but also requires learning a new skill. Disposal of trash, recycling, and composting all require extra forethought in neighborhoods near bear habitat.

Retirees Don and Ann Durtschi adapted their recycling routine when they moved permanently to Teton Valley from Ogden, Utah several years ago.

Containers they bought at ACE Hardware simplified the separation of recyclables, and transfer station employees helped when they had questions. The duo discovered that by flattening cans with a sledgehammer, they could go for about three months between each trip to the Recycling Center.

Other residents opt for curbside pickup through RAD Recyclers, where they receive clear information about how and what to recycle, and gentle reminders when they forget. Some residents have found such a reduction in waste generation when they start recycling that they have reduced their trash pickup service to every other week. Anyone interested in learning more about recycling options in Teton Valley should contact tetonrecycling@ gmail.com.

Composting can be intimidating, even for avid recyclers. I composted for years through community composting

programs. I dropped off my food waste, and program staff maintained the facility. When I became a homeowner, I wanted to compost but worried that it would be difficult. What if it smelled bad and my neighbors complained?

Where would I put it? Would I have to mix it daily? To learn the answers to these questions, I attended the free composting workshop that Teton Valley Community Recycling hosted last summer.

Master gardener Judy Allen covered everything I needed to know to start to compost, including different kinds of bins and where to location them, which materials to add and which to avoid, optimal moisture levels, which weed seeds will survive, and whether it is safe to compost waste with pesticide residue. I have been thrilled with the results. My compost has never produced an odor; rather, it has eliminated odors from both my kitchen bin and the larger garbage bin in my storage shed. Reduced trash runs to the transfer station have saved me time and money, while time spent maintaining my compost pile has been minimal.

Of course, the real prize is having rich, fertile compost to add to my garden.

Are you interested in learning to compost or improving your technique?

Teton Valley Community Recycling is hosting another free composting workshop on Aug. 6 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at the University of Idaho extension office in Driggs.

Tanya Anderson is the executive director of Teton Valley Community Recycling. Visit tetonrecycling.org for more information, or email tetonrecycling@gmail.com to reserve a spot.
