Jackson Hole’s Charture Institute is inviting residents of the Greater Tetons Area to participate in a comprehensive on-line public opinion survey about the region’s future. 

The survey will run between Tuesday, September 5 and Friday, September 22, and is open to all full- and part-time residents of the Greater Tetons Area: Teton County, WY; Teton County, ID; and Wyoming’s Star Valley. To take the survey, click HERE.

 The survey was commissioned by the Jackson Hole-based Charture Institute, as part of its efforts to better understand the people and character of the Greater Tetons Area. The survey is being conducted by Keating Research, a Telluride, CO-based survey research firm specializing in gauging the views of northern Rockies residents.

“Over the past few years, many folks have expressed concerns about where our community and region are headed,” said Jonathan Schechter, Charture’s Executive Director. “Rather than simply speculate about those feelings, I commissioned what I think is the region’s first formal, scientifically-valid survey of residents’ attitudes.” 

Schechter continued: “Our effort started last week with a random telephone survey of the region’s residents. For the next two-plus weeks, we’ll complement the phone poll with an on-line version of the same survey. The on-line version is open to everyone living in the Tetons region, and my hope is that any resident who cares about our future will take a few minutes and fill out the survey. That will give us the clearest-possible understanding of how residents feel about our where our community is and where it’s headed.” 

The survey asks both numeric and open-ended questions, with the goal of understanding residents’ views: likes and dislikes; where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going. Along with basic demographic information, the survey poses questions such as “On a scale of 0-10, how much do you like living in the Greater Tetons Area?” and “When thinking about the region’s future, what makes you optimistic? Pessimistic?” 

Respondents may take the survey in English or Spanish, and Charture will repeat the survey annually to track regional trends. 

The survey’s basic findings will be presented at the Teton Leadership Center’s Kickoff Summit on September 23 at Jackson’s Center for the Arts. Tickets for that event are available at https://tetonleadershipcenter.org/conference/ 

Additional survey results will be reported in CoThrive, Charture’s e-newsletter. Free subscriptions to CoThrive are available by following this link: https://cothrive.earth/subscribe/

John Foster was awarded with his Road Masters Certificate last night at the Victor City Council meeting through the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council. John has completed the T2 program that consists of Road Scholar- Level I and the Road Master- Lever II. All together John has completed 160 hours of training and 22 courses. John worked for the Town of Jackson Public Works Department for several years and has been with the City of Victor Public Works department for the last 5 years. 

The LHTAC Council and T2 Advisory Board moved forward with developing a new training program within the T2 Center. The Leadership Development Program is aimed at emerging leaders within the local agencies. These leaders can be at any level from road crewman, to clerks, to crew chiefs to  supervisors.

The cities, counties and highway districts are responsible for the majority of roads within the state of Idaho — over 32,000 miles of highways, roads, and streets.  These highways, roads and streets are seeing an ever-increasing traffic demand. With the increased demand and new technologies comes the need for more diverse skills and knowledge necessary for maintenance and preservation activities on the roadways.  The transportation professionals that are constructing and maintaining these roadways need to be recognized for their efforts at keeping up-to-date on the new technologies and skills required to construct and maintain effective highway systems. 

John has successfully taken courses in: First Aid, CPR, Roadway Materials, Pavements Maintenance and Preservation, ATSSA Flagger Certification, ATSSA Traffic Control Technician, Roadway Drainage, Environmental BMPs, Speed Limits and Speed Zones plus 9 more elective courses. John has been a great asset to the City Public Works department and staff is proud of him for this outstanding achievement.

As a responsible dog owner, you have the important responsibility of ensuring the well-being of your furry companion, as well as being considerate of your fellow city residents and the community. Here are some key aspects of responsible dog ownership that every dog owner in the City should be aware of.

1.     Licensing and Identification: It is crucial to ensure your dog is properly licensed and has identification tags attached to their collar. This allows authorities to quickly identify your dog and reunite you with your pet in case they get lost. Licensing also helps in monitoring and controlling the dog population in the City, which is essential for public safety.

2.     Vaccinations and Health Care: Keeping your dog healthy is essential for their well-being and the safety of others. Regular visits to the veterinarian for vaccinations, check-ups, and preventive care are important. Make sure your dog is up-to-date on all required vaccinations, including rabies, as it is a legal requirement in most cities. Maintaining proper hygiene, grooming, and providing a balanced diet are also vital aspects of responsible dog ownership.

3.     Leash and Waste Management: Following leash laws is not only a legal requirement in most cities but also ensures the safety of your dog and others. Always keep your dog on a leash when in public spaces, unless in designated off-leash areas. Additionally, responsible dog owners always clean up after their dogs by picking up their waste and disposing of it properly in designated waste bins. This helps in keeping public spaces clean and prevents the spread of diseases.

4.     Respect for Others: Being considerate of your fellow citizens is essential as a responsible dog owner. Always be mindful of others' comfort and safety when walking or exercising your dog in public areas. Keep your dog from jumping on people, disturbing other pets, or damaging public property. Respect the privacy and property of others by not allowing your dog to trespass on private property or disturb neighbors with excessive barking.

Remember, responsible dog ownership promotes a safe and harmonious environment for both dogs and humans alike.

As a responsible dog owner, you have the important responsibility of ensuring the well-being of your furry companion, as well as being considerate of your fellow city residents and the community. 

Victor Encourages Responsible Dog Ownership

As Spring advances and Summer approaches, it's important to remind citizens to drive slowly on neighborhood streets. With more people outside enjoying the warm weather, please be mindful of your speed to ensure everyone's safety.

Speeding in residential areas can have devastating consequences. By driving slowly, we have more time to react to unexpected situations and avoid accidents. 

Victor's Public Works Department maintains a digital speed-feedback trailer that they move to a different location each week to discourage speeding. The City also regularly requests the Sheriff to conduct speed patrols. If you would like to see the speed trailer in your neighborhood or would like to have an increased patrol presence in your neighborhood, please contact the City at 208.787.2940. 

Let's all commit to driving slowly on neighborhood streets this summer. It only takes a few extra seconds to arrive at our destination, but it can make a world of difference in ensuring the safety and well-being of our community.

As Spring advances and Summer approaches, it's important to remind citizens to drive slow on neighborhood streets.
