On “WYOMING LEGISLATURE: Will lawmakersmake nice?”

■ Wow Petroff really doesn’t understand the logicbehind a beer tax … 62 percent of arrests made byWyoming police are alcohol related. Forget aboutthe health consequences of alcohol and look at thejudicial angle for a direct link. The taxpayers shoulderthe expense of protecting citizens and property fromdrunks, this is a huge government subsidy given tothe alcohol industry. Cops, judges, jails, all cost thegeneral public a lot of money, fines don’t cover it.She’s right that it wouldn’t generate a lot of money,at least not at 20 cents a gallon, perhaps a 5 dollar agallon tax would cover the enforcement costs of thealcohol industry. That would still be cheaper percent-age wise then the cigarette tax which has little to noburden on the police department. Ironically, she jus-tifies not raising the tax on alcohol by comparing it tothe auto industry, an example of the most govern-ment dependent industry in the US. Christensen saysthe bill has no legs … probably lost the legs in a colli-sion with a drunk driver. If nothing else the money

could be given to victims of drunk drivers, as a sorrywe don’t do anything substantial to reduce the oc-currences of DUI … Petrol and christ are afraid ofthe unintended consequences of decriminalizing pot,the scariest one is more police and jail available topunish drunk motorists. They are desperately goingafter the drunk vote this year.On “AstroCowby dies”

■ Walt will be greatly missed by this community… I was planning on bringing him his favorite mealfrom China Town today for lunch, and was lookingforward to perhaps one last good visit, but that wasnot meant to be. He was a good friend always think-ing of others. I’ll look forward to hearing his favoritepatriotic songs on the radio this afternoon … a greatway to honor his memory!

■ Walt was a fine man and good friend. Your arti-cle failed to mention that Walt was a leader and or-ganizer for a group of good friends — the “Deaf as aPost Club” — where he will be greatly missed. Ourthoughts and concern are with Kay, to whom [wesend our] love and sympathy.

JHWEEKLY READER SCRAPBOOK

As part of a community service project, 13 year-old Isaac Grossman (foreground) along withConor Deiter prepare “Breakfast for Dinner” at the Good Samaritan Mission on Monday.

Jim Woodmencey has been forecasting the weather here for more than 20 years.You can find more info on Jackson Hole weather at www.mountainweather.com.

This week, our climate data has some old temperature records that are a bit out of whack. Jackson’s earliest weather records, from 1905, showtemperatures that ranged from 45-degrees below zero to 59-degrees above zero. That is not all that unusual, but the fact that they occurred inthe same week, in the same year, is very wacky. The daily weather log from 1905 was recorded by hand, and signed by someone named“Palmer”. I would love to talk to him about it, but it’s probably a little too late for that.

The Cool: On February 6, 1905, Mr. Palmer listed a low temperature of 45-degrees below zero, and 44-degrees below the following day. Thehigh temperature both days was listed as 39 degrees, above zero. That seems to be too big a spread between the high and low in one-day.Therefore, I listed the 37-below temp as the coldest for this week, from 1982. It is accurate and verifiable.

The Hot: As for the wacky high temperature of 59 degrees recorded on February 11, 1905 (Yes,the same 1905), just 4 days after it was 44-degrees below. I find that hard to swallow, also. It’s evenharder to believe after I looked in the archives and found what looks like a high of “37” on thatdate. Since I can’t speak with Mr. Palmer, I will notify the State Climatologist that some of ourrecords are out of whack.

Average monthly February precipitation = 1.14 inches • Record precipitation in February = 2.83 inches in 1962Average February Snowfall = 14 inches • Record February Snowfall = 33 inches (1978)

Props&DissesIt’s a bird, it’s a plane …

it’s a WyoFailSeriously, Clontz, what the suck is

with that new lottery logo?Lottery Commission Chief Execu-

tive Officer Jon Clontz recently un-veiled the state’s new lotto logo. He shouldre-veil it.

It’s not because we’ve been against the statelottery from the beginning. And it certainly hasnothing to do with the fact that we are jealous ofthe 49-year-old’s$165,000 annualsalary. We justhave to wonderhow the formerOregon Lotteryexec ever signedoff on the laugh-able travesty of alogo, which looksdesigned to targetmiddle schoolscratch-off junkies.

“WyoLotto” works as a name but the cartoonjackalope is, well, cartoonish. Surprisingly, anoutfit out of Cheyenne calling itself WarehouseTwenty One was actually brazen enough to takecredit for the debacle. The jackalope even has aname, apparently. “YoLo” is the name of the fic-titious Douglas hybrid.

The Tribune’s Kyle Roerink wrote: “A touch-stone of the new brand is YoLo’s ambitiousreach for a faraway star that resembles an opti-mistic lottery participant thrusting for a winningticket. Below the cheery scene is the phrase,‘Just maybe.’ The Warehouse Twenty One teambelieved the expression ushered the sentimentsof good fortune and a childlike belief in themythical.”

Oh brother. Childlike is right. Anyone who be-lieves someone older than eight created thiswork of art is a perfect example of the type ofperpetual loser it takes to build mega-casinosand fund bloated lottery payouts.

She’s b-a-a-a-ck Exactly a year after Cindy Hill an-

nounced she would challenge MattMead for governor in 2014, the em-

battled schools superintendent re-ceived the news many in the law professionanticipated, even while those who once workedunder her dreaded its coming: Hill waswronged.

Like her or loathe her, the lightning rod that isCindy Hill received vindication last week whenthe State Supreme Court ruled that stripping the

school super of her power and might was un-constitutional. Hill argued all along that the lawpassed hastily at last year’s legislative sessionshould have required an amendment to thestate constitution. The state’s top justicesagreed with a 3-2 vote.

Hill is now free to serve out her final year withrevenge in mind and a campaign to run. The Re-publican who once received Tea Party backing issuddenly back on top. She is also known to beopposed to nationalized testing and the increas-ingly unpopular Common Core State Standards,which she voted against in April 2012.

At the Planet, we don’t take sides … aw, heck,who are we kidding, of course we do. We maynot agree with everything Hill has done or beenaccused of doing in the 185-page investigativereport — which included everything from al-leged misuse of funds to workplace bullying— but this hot mess sells newspapers. And that,dear readers, is worth a “Prop.”

The trouble with trafficTown and county officials just

forked over two hundred large togive themselves news they don’t wantto hear. A countywide transportationanalysis — to be compiled by Denver-basedconsultants Charlier Associates and completedwithin the year — will likely come back withunpopular recommendations and sourpussnews already known to electeds or anyone whohas driven westbound on Highway 22 at 5:20p.m. on a Friday.

The last transportation plan was completedin 2000. Just about all the warnings from that13-year-old survey went unheeded and recom-mendations were largely ignored, according tocounty commissioner Ben Ellis.

In an interview with the NaG, county engi-neer Sean O’Malley was full of rotten news.Parking meters downtown topped the list of vi-able options designed to ease traffic around thevalley. O’Malley also said efforts to discouragesolitary motorists thus far have been largelyunsuccessful.

Many armchair traffic experts claim a northbridge crossing the Snake somewhere betweenGros Ventre Junction and Teton Village couldsolve many of the valley’s problems. O’Malleythought that was about as likely as a tunnelthrough the Tetons connecting Victor with Wil-son.

This news, coupled with WYDOT’s two-year,$250K study of the Highway 22-390 corridor,paints a disturbing future picture. That surveyrecommends both 22 and 390 be widened tofour lanes.

Thar she blowsIf you believe Internet traffic, we are

in for a world of hurt soon. If you be-lieve Borehole B944 and its latest read-ings, the super volcano in YellowstoneNational Park could be cooking up astorm.

A seismic borehole inside the calderain Yellowstone started reporting “stag-gering” underground activity aroundnoon on February 1. According to onewebsite (Turner Radio Network) the ac-tivity increased for the entire day andcontinues to worsen.

The seismic shaking is recorded byneedles scratching out blue/black/redlines on a graph sheet. It is so severe,Turner Radio claimed the printer wasrunning out of ink.

“The entire northwest quadrant ofthe country could be affected by dam-age and disruption beyond humancomprehension,” the story read.

How cold are we?Clayton Bullock braved the freezing

cold temps in Cheyenne the other dayto snap a photo of the iconic bison infront of the Capitol Building for

What makes the shot so popular?Hint: It’s a boy buffalo. Look closely.

How ‘red’ are we?The Hill printed the results of the lat-

est Gallup poll which ranked the coun-try’s most conservative and liberalstates. Nothing here was all-too eye-opening. The most conservative stateswere those in the southeast and Westwith grand old Wyoming topping thelist. The most liberal states were mainlyin the northeast – the District of Co-lumbia earned top honors there.

President Obama’s audacity of hopeseems to be waning. Overall, more re-spondents identified themselves asconservatives rather than liberals. Fol-lowing Wyoming down the “right” pathwere Mississippi, Idaho, Utah, Mon-tana, Arkansas, South Carolina, Okla-homa, Tennessee and Alabama.Left-leaning states included Vermont,Massachusetts, Delaware, New York,Hawaii, Oregon, Maine, California andNew Jersey.

Idaho, We-da-hoIdaho wishes us well, but under their

breath has been some muttering andgrumbling about Wyoming’s new statelottery.

Lawmakers in the Gem State are con-cerned that a good portion of their lot-tery revenue may be siphoned of byWyomingites staying home to play andUtahans finding the Equality State amore convenient option than Idaho.

Idaho’s lottery director Jeff Andersonworried as much as $3 million a yearcould disappear from that state’sbudget.

“We wish them the best of luck. Weare a collegial group,:” Anderson said,putting his best foot forward.

Tarantino torpedos TetonsWas noted filmmaker Quentin Taran-

tino really planning on shooting inJackson Hole again? Colin Strickland, ofthe Wyoming Film Office, thinks so.

“Wyoming clearly had an effect onQuentin Tarantino,” Strickland toldBrielle Schaeffer for a News&Guidestory republished in several papersacross the country including theKansas City Star. “It’s a good bet hewould have gone there.”

Tarantino’s latest script was leakedto the Internet by Gawker. The screen-play for “The Hateful Eight” openswith a scene that appears tailoredmade to play out in front of theTetons. Tarantino did not appreciatethe breach. The Hollywood Reporterwrote that the iconic movie mogul issuing Gawker and has decided to killthe project.

Wyoming: Outlaw cyber specs Ahead of the Legislative budget ses-

sion, Wyoming is receiving national no-tice for a few of the bills headed toCheyenne. Among the most notable arehigh-profile fad laws like a ban onGoogle glasses and the late-Sue Wallis’medical marijuana bill.

The Chicago Tribune was one of nu-merous newspapers to pick up on thepile of early bills awaiting Wyoming

lawmakers this month. One such billwas crafted by Sen. Floyd Esquibellooking to get ahead of the latest cybertrend: Google Glass, which projects asmall screen above a corner of awearer’s eye.

“Common sense would tell you thatyou really don’t need to look at a littlecomputer while driving, that it endan-gers you, your passengers and otherdrivers,” Esquibel said.

G&F goes sheep shearing The Anchorage Daily News repub-

lished an informative Trib piece on aWyoming Game and Fish study ofbighorn sheep.

The opening was riveting: “The fe-male bighorn sheep looked like twosacks of potatoes as the helicopter low-ered them to the ground. Blindfoldedand hobbled, they stayed motionlesswhile a crew of wildlife biologists, gamewardens and a veterinarian ran to themto begin testing.

“Five sets of hands worked on thefirst ewe. Someone took her tempera-ture: 101.7. A game warden held herdown. Hank Edwards, a wildlife diseasespecialist with the Wyoming Game andFish Department, swabbed her tonsils,nasal passage and ears. Another personfit her with two radio collars.

“Within minutes, the group carriedher to the bottom of a rocky hill and lether go.”

The state’s bighorn sheep popula-tion has been in decline for decades.Experts blame a combination of habi-tat fragmentation and disease trans-mission from domestic sheep.

Taxation with representationEnter the bed tax. Supporters of the

two percent lodging levy like to boastit’s “the tax you don’t pay,” implying it’svisitors who will be recipients of acheckout time shakedown, and oftenunknowingly, instead of those of us whocan find the Elks Lodge without GoogleMaps’ assistance.

So why did voters shoot down the taxin 1994, 1996, and again in 1998? Part ofthe reason was the feeling that moremotor homes were just going to thumpmore potholes into our city streets. Ad-ditional tourists weren’t worth the plat-inum cards they brought with them.

But state statute changed in 1998. Themandate that 90 percent of funds gener-ated by the lodging tax be used to lureeven more travelers to Wyoming andJackson Hole was tapered to a 60/40,promotion/mitigation split. Coupledwith a sag in the worldwide economy,voters were hot to pinch two cents onthe lodger’s dollar in 2010. The tax easilypassed.

Spending problemsSpending the millions generated an-

nually ($4.5 million last year) has provedto be sticky at times. Not everyoneagrees on how day-tripper-deriveddough should be distributed, but muchof the blowback officials hear is prima-rily due to misinformation.

Sara Flitner has been hired by theChamber of Commerce to assess publicperception of the tax so far and gauge

the general temperature on where themoney it generates has been allocated.In her extensive surveying she hasfound little discontent, overall.

“It’s very different than 20 years agowhen we were concerned about growthand impact in connection with the pro-motion of tourism,” Flitner said. “I’mfinding now people are generally appre-ciative of the tax you don’t pay.”

The only complaints Flitner has heardrevolve around a perceived lack of ac-countability of a Travel and TourismBoard (TTB) charged with doling out bigmoney. “People generally want to be as-sured that the money is not going into abig nebulous pot,” she said “Statute ispretty clear about how the 60 percentgets distributed,” said Jeff Golightly,who began as the Chamber’s executivedirector after 17 years with TogwoteeLodge with a brief stint as a TTB mem-

ber in between. “The perception is thatthere is this enormous amount ofmoney generated by the tax and spentby the board. Only $1.3 million of the$2.5 million [allocated to the TTB afterthe 60-40 split] goes to marketing. Onemillion of that goes to promoting winterand about three hundred thousand goesto non-winter marketing.”

TTB members defend dollars put to-ward winter promotion by saying skiseason pales in comparison to a sum-mer in Jackson, which draws well in ex-cess of three-million visitors and needsno further advertising. Some have beenskeptical of money spent on boostingskier numbers at Jackson Hole Moun-tain, for instance. One woman in the au-dience at 22 in 21 called it “corporatewelfare.”

“Promoting winter and specific busi-nesses did not come up a lot in the inter-

views,” Flitner responded. “And withoutthe Mountain Resort we would be likeany other beautiful, amazing town neara national park, like Cody. It would beawfully quiet in the winter time.”

Town of Jackson Administrator BobMcLaurin agreed. “I think it’s a smartinvestment in our economy. Winter ex-penditures per guest are far greater thanthose in the summer. They have agreater dollar impact than the summervisitor,” he said.

Indeed, TTB coordinator Kate Sollittsaid winter visitors to Jackson Hole staylonger (a minimum of three days) andspend more ($350 per day, average)than summer tourists.

“We are competing in a marketagainst Aspen, Vail, and the like,”McLaurin continued. “And they are alltrying to eat our lunch. Does the Moun-tain Resort benefit? Absolutely, butwhen the Jackson Hole Mountain Resortwas a ‘mom and pop’ this placeboarded up in the winter.”

The “rising tide floats all boats” the-ory is working, according to Flitner.“There seems to be a great partnershipthat benefits the entire economy.Whether it’s skiing, the parks, a sleighride, a dog sled tour, or dinner — manybusinesses and industries enjoy the re-wards of promoting winter in Jackson.”

And winter marketing, along withTTB’s funding of local and regionalevents during the Hole’s off-seasonspring and fall lull, has helped foster amore balanced and predictable econ-

ToutingTourism

Do we need more tourists? It depends on who you ask and, perhapsmore importantly, when.

Waiting to make a left-hand turn onto Broadway in mid-July, watchingan endless parade of Montana-plated rentals roll by — well, a red-blooded local couldn’t be faulted for thinking we should tear down a fewbillboards. Shift ahead to late-March. Skiing is winding down, bare spotsbegin to appear on most south-facing buttes and south-trending busi-nesses’ bottom lines. Suddenly, partially-subsidized events like HillClimb and Mountain Fest don’t seem like such a bad idea after all.

Sometimes it feels right to say we need to diversify our economy. Butthe reality is Jackson Hole goes as t-shirt sales go. Like it or not, the entirewell-being of the valley’s population is inextricably tied to our ability toattract travelers, coax them into staying longer, and wring their walletsdry while they are here.

A healthy emerging economy is developing at an encouraging rate, bol-stering our traditional economy, but every county resident still soars andsuffers with the sales tax chart.

“Our economy is more complex than the data would suggest,”Jonathan Schechter remarked in his keynote speech at the recent 22 in21 conference he founded. Schechter’s mastery of pie charts crammedwith juicy statistics is beyond reproach but even the doctor of data willadmit, we make hay while the sun shines. “We’re seasonal. Everybodyknows that. We run June through September.”

omy. Golightly said growth in the shoul-der seasons is outpacing growth in thepeak seasons of summer and winter,and “leveling out the economy.”

Mitigating the impactSollitt, McLaurin, Flitner and others

all say they don’t think the public is suf-ficiently informed when it comes to the40 percent of lodging tax revenuedished out to town and county for visi-tor impact mitigation and services.

“How do we measure success with thelodging tax?” Flitner asked, rhetorically.“By a dollar point. Every dollar paid in isone you don’t have to pay to START,Pathways, etcetera, including $400,000to the Chamber of Commerce for visitorservices.”

Teton County Administrator SteveFoster said it is a continuing challengetrying to figure out how to provide thelevel of services the community hascome to enjoy even though county pop-ulation has climbed to 20,000 with an-other 60,000 or so of visitors added on

any given day. Town and county officialsspend the bulk of bed tax funds onSTART, Pathways and Parks and Rec.

Some 70 to 90 bus trips are added toSTART’s Teton Village daily run. Townsignage, including the new bike lanerouting, is also financed in part throughmoney generated by the lodging tax.

“The tax also allows us to provide op-erations money for downtown mainte-nance,” Foster said. “I think, like, wehave 50 man-hours a day in trashpickup alone in town during peak sea-son; about 90 percent of that is gener-ated by visitors. Call rates at the hospitalgoes up when tourists are here.Fire/EMS needs additional funding.”

McLaurin, too, feels the town would behurting without its share of the mitigat-ing monies derived from the lodging tax.

“It cost about $15.3 million to operatethe Town of Jackson in 2013. The net im-pact of the lodging tax in 2014 will beabout $700,000 to the town, or about 5percent of our operating budget,”McLaurin said. “What happens if thisgoes away? I can’t tell you exactly, butyou are going to feel it. The decisions onwhat and where to cut lies with fivecouncil members I work for. We wouldprobably cut START at the fringes, re-duce Parks and Rec. We are going tofund public safety first, though, becausewhen you call 911 you expect someoneto show up, and you expect them toshow up pretty quickly.”

Pontier Sackrey chairs the TTB. Shehopes residents understand the impactof the money that’s funneled to thetown and county to mitigate the impactof visitors as voters head for the polls todecide whether to keep the lodging taxthis November.

“I hope voters realize a few things,”

Sackrey said at a recent TTB retreat. “Wedon’t pay it, it helps us, and we don’twant to lose it. I think if people saw thisthey wouldn’t be against it. As a boardmember I am not allowed to lobby forthis tax, but I hope people understand itis a two-pronged thing. There needs tobe a lot of education.”

Commissioner Ben Ellis and MayorMark Barron echoed the importance ofgetting the word out by election Tuesday.

“I think [the lodging tax] has been in-credibly positive. I haven’t heard anysubstantive criticisms,” Ellis said. “Ithink we are in a great place going intothis next cycle. I agree the public shouldknow about the 40 percent [revenuesgenerated targeted to town and countyfor mitigation].”

Barron added, “I don’t hear any nega-tivism about the board or any of its pro-motion. And we should continue tostrive to get the word out about the 40percent and how we spend it.”

Smoothing a turbulent launchBut criticism has been levied at the

board, especially for decisions madeduring its infancy in 2011. Before theboard spent a dime, their decision to gowith Denver-based ad agency Cactusmiffed some who thought a local com-pany should have been shown the love.

While the success of particular cam-paigns have been hard to measure,naysayers claim targeting regional“snow chaser” skiers for the benefit ofmainly JHMR seems exclusionary andthe effort to subsidize the episode of“Modern Family,” which shot at LostCreek Ranch and aired September 21,2011, was also called into question.

“Procedurally, I think things are run-ning more smoothly now. The first year,everyone was trying to figure things out.It was bound to have more hiccups,”said board member Aaron Pruzan at theTTB retreat. “With the exception of a

few loud individuals who have wantedto complain about everything but don’ttake the time to come to the meetings orbother to educate themselves, I thinkthings have been fairly positive. It’s easyto send an angry email but it would bebetter if we could grab a cup of coffeewith [these people] and have a conver-sation. Often, their anger stems from amisconception over how funds are al-lowed to be spent.

“Early on, in the first winter, therewere some grumblings about the land-ing page being housed in the JacksonHole dot com domain. Some of the crit-ics have been silenced by the fact thatwe have had success. I haven’t heard asmany of those early complaints.”

Sollitt also admitted the boardworked through some early growingpains but lately they’ve hit their strideafter laying groundwork and cultivating

a better working relationship with Cac-tus. Strategies like narrowing the mar-kets targeted by ad campaigns to thoseserviced by direct flights to and fromJackson have been highly successful atputting more heads in beds.

“We have 11 airfare markets dividedinto tiers,” Sollitt said. “Tier one is NewYork City, LA, Seattle, San Fran andBoston. Tier two is Denver, Salt Lake,Minneapolis, Atlanta, Chicago and Dal-las. For the shoulder seasons we mostlygo with those drive markets without air-line service.”

Sollitt said some $300,000 in lodgingtax revenue is used to essentially dis-count airfare by offering up to $200 insavings on plane tickets if travelers alsobook lodging.

Onward and upwardThe TTB has been rocking a “There’s

more to winter” campaign for the pasttwo seasons, trying to flesh out the val-ley’s amenities — value-added attrac-tions that set Jackson Hole apart fromother ski resorts. Skijoring, sleigh rides,cutter races are some of the other win-ter activities the TTB has been trying tohighlight.

“The challenge of promoting JacksonHole is we have a lot of competition, sowe try to concentrate on what sets usapart,” Sollitt said. “Things like ourwildlife, access to two national parksand certain local events display com-munity character or Western heritageare amenities unique to our area we canfeature that places like Park City orAspen don’t have. With something likeskijoring, people may not come here forit but they may come back or tell some-one else about us because of it.”

Pruzan has already seen some positiveresults. He points to JHMR’s numberone ranking by Ski Magazine and the en-couraging feedback received after lodg-

ing tax revenue helped plow Yellowstoneopen last spring when the feds went intobudget crisis mode as success storiesthat can be attributed to TTB efforts.

“The benchmarks we set for our-selves: sales tax going up, occupancy up,enplanements up — all those factorspoint to the fact that we have clearlyhad some good successes,” Pruzan said.“On the event side, we still have somegreat challengers but we’ve done goodwith the funding and been able to stayclosely in touch with things that are val-ued by the community.”

Event funding has also helped main-tain longtime Jackson Hole attractionsteetering on the brink of financial hard-ship like the cutter races and Hill Climb.Newer ventures like SHIFT Festival andthe first-ever Jackson Hole Culinary Con-ference show great potential for blos-soming into major destination events.

The future of Jackson Hole tourismand its promotion is threatened only bytoo much of a good thing, according tosome. Golightly said he is particularlyconcerned with the ability of the valley’shousing market to keep pace withgrowth. “Anytime we grow our economyhere, which I’m strongly in favor of, weput pressure on workforce housing,” hesaid. “We need to be very strategic.Workforce housing is the single biggestconcern in this county.”

A good portion of last week’s annualTTB retreat focused on defining sustain-ability and formulating concrete ideason how that can be envisioned.

“We’ve made huge strides in the pastfew years. But I want to be cautionarymoving ahead,” Pruzan said. “We wantto make sure we continue to provide ahigh-quality experience for our visitorsinstead of just saying we need to bringmore and more people here all thetime. Also, our environment is our assethere. We need to be sensitive aboutharming that.”

By Jean Klobnak-Ball

Wyoming Governor Matt Mead says advancing astate energy strategy that “strikes the right balancebetween energy development and environmentalconservation” is among his highest priorities. Conser-vationists contend Mead’s vision for Wyoming’s en-ergy lacks clarity.

Concerned that Mead’s agenda centers too heavilyon fossil fuels and too little on energy efficiency, con-servation and transition to a more balanced mix of re-newable and conventional power sources, criticsargue Mead’s strategic vision lacks incentives to pro-mote comprehensive environmental conservation.

In 2013, Mead’s office released a 65-page documententitled, Leading the Charge: Wyoming’s Action Planfor Energy, Environment, and Economy. On January 30Mead shared his strategic vision at a Center for theArts special event entitled “Wyoming and Our EnergyFuture.”

Mead joined State Senator Leland Christiansen,State Representative Ruth Ann Petroff, Jackson MayorMark Barron, and moderator Paul Hansen, author of“Green and Gridlock,” to talk about Wyoming energydevelopment and environmental conservation. De-spite blizzard conditions and differences of opinion,the well-attended forum afforded panelists a warm,familial welcome.

Governor Mead takes Wyoming’s role as a topglobal BTU producer seriously. If Wyoming were acountry, it would rank 10th overall in energy produc-tion, after Australia. Wyoming accounts for about 14percent of all energy produced in the United States. In2010, Wyoming supplied 397 million of the 401 milliontons of coal that met 42 percent of the nation’s elec-tricity demand.

Global energy consumption is projected to increase

53 percent between 2008 and 2035, and as the num-ber one national producer of coal and uranium andthe third-largest producer of natural gas, Mead plansto deliver. Most of Wyoming’s energy is sold to com-modity markets. Mead’s key strategic objectives aimto lead Wyoming in development, production andgeneration of exports, maintaining and growing thestate’s energy market share.

“Wyoming’s energy and natural resources are in-trinsically tied to our economy,” Mead avows, and hisAction Plan envisions working with state and federalregulatory agencies to protect wildlife, water andother key resources.

While the plan’s Objective 15 nods to energy effi-ciency with a state facilities energy audit, it lacks anycomprehensive strategy to advance incentives to spurthrifty energy conservation throughout state govern-ment and local municipalities. Though considered atop wind resource state, Wyoming ranks 11th in windproduction, and the Action Plan lacks incentives tobroadly expand renewable energy alternatives to fossilfuels. Wyoming’s sunny climate is the only referencemade to solar power potential. Creating a diverseportfolio of conservation, efficiency and renewableenergy incentives would greatly improve Mead’s vi-sion, conservationists argue.

Jackson Mayor Mark Barron, on the other hand, ap-preciates efficiency and cost savings. Since 2006, forexample, he has presided over a 50 percent reductionin the cost of gas for the police department. Barronembraces Teton Sustainability Project goals to cutconsumption and offset growth costs by implement-ing energy reduction and efficiency measures. When itcomes to energy efficiency, some taxpayers say Meadmight do well to copy a few pages out of Mayor Bar-ron’s thrifty sustainability playbook.

While Barron gratefully credits Wyoming Energy Of-

fice, Department of Transportation and other stateentities for funding pathways and many other signifi-cant energy conservation “success stories” in JacksonHole, Mead said a comprehensive statewide approachto creating incentives for energy conservation, effi-ciency and renewables would be costly and time con-suming.

Unlike Barron, Mead is skeptical about climatechange, though Mead agrees, “it’s clear the marketsbelieve it.” Mead’s vision, nevertheless, clearly favorsfossil fuels, and the governor isn’t likely to roll out arenewable energy and efficiency incentives packageany time soon.

Infamous Colorado grassharvests ‘Let it Go’

By now, if you haven’t caught a set of thehigh-energy propelled jamgrass that is theInfamous Stringdusters, it’s safe to say thatit’s time to crawl out from under that rock.Since their debut performance at TargheeBluegrass Fest in 2008, the Stringdustershave crept to an elite level in the bluegrassgenre. The upward trajectory has progres-sively transpired in the shadows of theTetons through numerous festival sets (atleast one as a headliner), club shows at theMangy Moose and Knotty Pine, and soldout theater shows at the Pink Garter.

The band’s new album, Let it Go, dropsApril 1, so expect some fresh melodies andextended jammin’ during this winter tourthat will touch both coasts and benefit theJackson Hole Conservation Alliance, anonprofit that works to protect wildplaces. A lyric from the album sums up theband’s core belief: “If you think you canmake a difference and the fire is in yoursoul, go ahead and take your stand and ifyou can’t, let it go.”

Infamous Stringdusters, 9:30 p.m. onTuesday ($18/advance, $20/day-of-show)and Wednesday ($25) February 12 for the30th Annual Sweethogs & Swinehearts

Ball at the Mangy Moose in Teton Village.Etix.com, MangyMoose.com.

Loopy, funky and quirkyI still have a bootleg cassette tape that a

Jackson friend made me of a KellerWilliams (non-looping) show at a bar inTallahassee. It maintained a spot in my ro-tation for a few years until I caught his fullspread looping show at The Aladdin The-atre in Portland, Oregon in 2001. The con-cept of a one-man jamband blew me awayat the time, and the level at which he couldmanipulate his phrase looper peda l—now a Boss Loop Station RC-300 — in-spired me to buy one of my own.

His funky, highly percussive guitar styleis certainly in the Michael Hedges wheel-house, with layers upon layers of improvi-sational gumption. But it’s his quirkysongwriting (riding the comedic line of aless-over-the-top Tenacious D) and hisbreadth of material that ultimately sealsthe deal of a one-man show that can keepyour attention.

I admittedly lost some interest in his liveshow as Williams pushed the envelopeinto trance-based sets some years ago, al-lowing for thumping electronic groovesand even more “tweakers by the speakers.”But as with any artist that pushes into newdimensions, it is usually worth revisitingto see where the wandering road has led

one in recent years. That path has ledWilliams to a full-band live album dubbed,Funk (2013), with backing band MoreThan a Little. The album consists of fournew originals and several interpretationsof songs including Talking Heads’ “OnceIn a Lifetime,” Rick James’ “Mary Jane”and a mainstay in his massive repertoire,The Grateful Dead’s “West L.A. Fadeaway.”

Keller Williams solo loop show, 9 p.m. onSaturday at the Pink Garter Theatre.$25/advance, $28/day-of-show.PinkGarterTheatre.com.

musician releases an album, and vocalistNicole Madison has just released her thirdfull-length album, In My Life.

Have you ever thought of a cardboard box and how you woulddescribe it?

Andrea Miller did, and the more she thought about the box, themore interesting it became. Its weight is unknown until it’s lifted,the contents inside a mystery. It can crumble and collapse.

The idea of a box became the inspiration for “Fold Here,” adance piece choreographed by Miller, artistic director of Gallim, aNew York-based modern dance company that will perform inJackson this weekend.

Miller guided the company, already known for its unique ath-letic and emotional approach to dance, in an experimental direc-tion with the creation of “Fold Here.”

“It’s about trying to define something,” Miller said. “We’re say-ing, ‘Ok here is a box, is there anything I am going to find outabout life from this box?’”

Last summer, Dancers’ Workshop, in a first for the organization,co-commissioned the piece by Gallim. Dancers’ Workshop pro-vided space in Jackson for Gallim to develop the piece and gavethe community a unique look at the creative process of a profes-sional company by allowing people to observe rehearsals.

The process comes full circle with the company’s return thismonth, which will include master classes, open rehearsals andperformances of “Fold Here.”

This piece is multi-faceted with video, compelling lighting andset design and even some spoken word, said Babs Case, Dancers’Workshop artistic director.

“Plus, there is the amazing, physical and creative dance,” shesaid. “I just think they are one of the most interesting dance com-panies working these days.”

Case, who saw the piece premiere, said there are recognizableelements from the company’s time in Jackson, but there were alsosurprises, including a dance rehearsed in Jackson as a groupnumber that had been changed to a solo.

That’s what makes the relationship between Dancers’ Work-shop and Gallim special — it offered a chance for people to un-derstand the evolving creative process.

“That’s what dance is,” Case said. “It’s not like a painting thatgets finished and hung on the wall.”

Meleta Buckstaff, Dancers’ Workshop administrative assistant,also saw the premiere.

“There’s definitely a lot going on,” she said. “It’s beautiful andthere are sections that are breathtaking.”

“Fold Here” is comprised of three sections. Each has its ownnarrative, but the three are linked.

Miller thinks of the first section as a “big bang” that begins withchaos and individual pieces colliding, but eventually becomingmore harmonious and defined.

“It’s a very abstract section where the dancers are spilling intospace,” Miller said. “The only thing that is going to stop themfrom running is the wall of the theater.”

When one soloist hits a wall, he becomes like Adam from the

story of Adam and Eve. It becomes about defining who he is,where he is and why he exists, Miller said.

The next section, which was mostly developed while Gallimwas in residency in Jackson, follows a couple moving into anapartment and captures the hopes and possibilities of starting anew life together.

The last section suggests there are millions of possibilities inlife and no equation is going to ensure you get it right and no for-mula is going to lead to you understanding life’s mysteries, likewhat really is a box?

“I might be able to look at a box, but do I really know what is in-side?” Miller said. “That’s our world. The world we live in is aplace of mystery and magic.”

Fold Here, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Center for theArts, $45 orchestra, $35 balcony, $20 student. dwjh.org.

Unrelenting cold has anupside: ‘Ice Ice Baby’

By Jake Nichols

I hate to admit it but the long range“Old Farmers Almanac” forecast forwestern Wyoming’s 2013-14 wintermade way back last September is turn-ing out to be way too accurate. Dry andcold it warned. No shit, Sherlock.

Don’t kick yourself for ignoring thegloomy prognostication. It’s not likeanyone else has snow this year. Sure,you bought new skis instead of iceskates, but it’s not too late to shift gearsand head for a frozen pond somewhere.

Unrelenting cold has an upside. Itmakes for ice that’s hard and fast. So grabyour blades and hit the rinks. Choicesabound. Night, day, a pickup game ofshinny hockey or a hand-holding dateunder the stars – Teton County (both ofthem) has something slick just for you.Rink-o-rama

The Snow King Sports and Event Cen-ter is home to the Jackson Hole Moosehockey team, competing in the Senior ADivision of the USA Hockey Associa-tion. The Moose play a 22-game homeschedule this season on most Fridayand Saturday nights. The level of com-petition is top notch and the games fea-ture live music from a different localband each weekend.

Snow King has undergone numerousimprovements since operation of therink was turned over to Center Manage-ment. Whether you’re looking for a fig-

ure skating lesson, a pickup game ofhockey, or a competitive league suitedto your skill level – Snow King hassomething for everyone and the best icearound.

My favorite outdoor skate spot hasgot to be the Wilson Rink. I don’t carewho you are, you feel the sense of com-munity when you skate there. Even ifyou didn’t participate in the annual tra-dition of “the setting up of the boards”(complete with homemade chilli), thesense of pride and ownership at thedowntown Wilson oval permeates everyskate. Kids, dogs, and even an ex-NHLplayer can be found on any given Sun-day morning or Thursday night.

Another super sheet of ice in the areais the Kotler Ice Arena in Victor. Four-on-four hockey tourneys and a well-groomed ice surface make the quaintlittle covered rink on the other side ofthe hill a fine choice on warmer dayswhen other rinks are melting out.

This facility gets better and betterevery winter. Skaters now enjoy indoorrestrooms, skate rentals/pro shop, alocker room and concession stand.

The broomball rink located at theTeton County Fairgrounds is a fun op-tion for families with little tykes. Out-side of the busy broomball leagueschedule of night games, this rink prettymuch sits empty and forgotten most ofthe day. If you’re just learning, maybethis oval is the ice for you and your dog.

Maybe the coolest rink is the TownSquare sheet put up by the Grand TetonSkating Academy in association with JHWinter Wonderland. The rink hostsskaters beneath the twinkling lights ofdowntown Jackson. Hot cocoa, cider,music, and rentals are available.

The scene has an old-town Europeanfeel. Skaters glide around a natural-

looking ice sheet while shoppers whiskfrom store to store.

The newly opened Powderhorn Parkice rink is generally open from noon to8:30 p.m. for family skating.

Frozen lakes and ponds are alwaysanother option. Ice fishing on Jacksonand Slide lakes has become more andmore popular every winter.

Whether a hockey game or a hand-holding date, ice skating choices abound.

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

The author Dorothy Parker was known to an-swer the phone with “What fresh hell is this?”

Now we all know what fresh hell is: It dropsout of who knows where and lands on you knowwho, has perfect aim and never misses. Let’s saythat one morning you awake with hair that lookslike an exploding chrysanthemum. Your saloninforms you that your hairdresser, Mr. Pierre,has run off with the shampoo boy and won’t beback. And no, you can’t get an appointment forthree months. In despair, you take the livestocktrimmer and shave your head.

Dante wrote in “The Divine Comedy” thatthere were nine circles of hell. Well he waswrong, there only three and that’s quite enough.The three rings of hell are fresh, every day andfuture. Sometimes they combine into one singlefright, like having to take a coach flight with asix-hour layover at Newark, but usually they areseparate.

Our next form of hell is the everyday, ordinary,never-changing crud that defines our lives.Someone once said that our days are like all days,full of birdseed and panic. There are piles of bird-seed everywhere and more than enough panic togo around. Today is the dentist, tomorrow thedoctor and then your wretched fitness classwhere you have to weigh in, and the dog has

eaten your cell phone and you can hear his stom-ach ringing, and he is always taking messages.

Hell is supposed to be after-death punish-ment for earthly sins, but there is no need towait that long. Future hell is out there and willbe here before you know it. Nothing you can dowill prevent its eventual appearance. You know ifyou have a reunion coming and that little blackdress you wore to the last one has now becomethat great big black dress. And you also knowthat on that day something that looks like a thirdeye will erupt on your face and defy all efforts tocover it up.

On top of that, you know that some day yourmother-in-law will be coming to lunch. She willappear in a puff of green smoke surrounded byher flying monkeys and she will say, “Is thatwhat you’re wearing?” and “I can’t eat that.”

Someday, you will struggle out of bed, dropthe last roll of toilet paper in the toilet, crawl tothe kitchen where there are doomed soulsmoaning that they have lost their homeworkand are sure that they have some disease andhave to stay home from school. Worst of all,there is no coffee.

Divine punishment aside, maybe a calmsoothing soak in a boiling lake of fire sur-rounded by screams of the doomed will be awelcome diversion. Hell, hell might even have aStarbucks.

Hello hell, it’s meGallopin’Grandma
