According Accor-ding to the Mountain Express, it's the liquor law in Idaho. The Express noted in an editorial that a new state law extending drinking hours sets different standards stan-dards for beer and wine than for hard liquor. Beer and wine may be sold until 1 a.m., but a "grace period" allows customers to consume con-sume it until 1:30 a.m. Hard liquor can be sold until 2 a.m. However, it also has to be consumed con-sumed by then. The result, said the paper, is a "chug-a-lug" law that encourages drinking the strongest alcoholic beverages just before the bars close. The law could have a serious impact on traffic fatalities, it said. The Express also wondered how a visitor will react after being told, "You may buy a shot of Tequila, but I can't sell you a beer." It added, "It may be enough to send them packing to Utah." Jackson Hole News Newsweek honors Jackson hero Jackson Hole A Grand Teton National Park climbing ranger, Renny Jackson, was saluted by Newsweek Magazine as one of its "100 New American Heroes." Jackson, a 10-year rescue veteran, was recognized for his work rescuing two climbers in a bitter snowstorm in the late summer of 1985. Newsweek said its objective was to find heroes "unencumbered by medals and gold braid and unsung beyond their local papers." Jackson said modestly, "I'm part of a team doing a job." In fact, Jackson and his colleagues have received two U.S. Department of Interior valor awards for Teton rescues. Jaclcson Hole Guide Local contest uses moose 'pellets' Jackson Hole You might call this game a bunch of B. S. You would be only slightly inaccurate. The Teton Science School set up a contest by filling a jar with pellets and asking contestants to guess how many are in the jar. This is not a contest, however, where one should get a great deal of "hands-on" experience. The "pellets" you see, are moose pellets. In other words, dung. A science school spokesman said the unusual choice of material was inspired by a school staffer who spent part of last winter filling a vodka bottle with moose pellets. (The only question now is Why?) Three contest winners can win free attendance at the school's summer seminar program. The spokesman asked to be identified iden-tified as the school's executive director, direc-tor, Greg Ziegler. He said he was using us-ing Ziegler's name in case all this backfired. One well OK'd, will more follow? Concerned members of a local environmental group are meeting with the Forest Service in the wake of the Service's decision to allow the Anschutz exploratory well in the Mosquito Creek area near Wilson. The group, the Jackson Hole Alliance for Responsible Planning, is worried about further wells. The district ranger for the Bridger-Teton National Forest, Joe Kinsella, acknowledged 97 percent of the letters from area residents were against the project. But there was no legal mechanism to stop the drilling, he said. Kinsella said the approval was for one well only and any future drilling applications would have to undergo new investigations. However, the new probes might not be too involved involv-ed if the new sites had low visual and environmental impact. The Alliance has deferred any plans for appeals pending discussion with the Forest Service. Lodging tax passes test A Teton County lodging tax passed narrowly in a special election. elec-tion. But by law the tax must appear again on the November general ballot, and supporters say they must bolster support for the proposition. The 2 percent tax of local hotel, motel, campground and dude ranch lodging passed on a 737-568 vote. The election also attracted only 21 percent per-cent of registered voters to cast ballots. One proponent, Clay James of the Grand Teton Lodge Company, said supporters have to deal with the apathy over the tax, as well as the "really surprising opposition" to it. Suzanne Young, executive director direc-tor of the Jackson Hole Area Buffalo Wings (bafa-16 weengz) Okay, they're really chicken wings. But when they're deep-fried, deep-fried, then sauteed in butter and Tabasco, they're so meaty and hearty they could've been born on a buffalo. Buffalo Wings are just one of the unusual and delicious hors d'oeuvres served at The Columbine Dinner Club. Relax at the piano bar, nibble, and maybe scan the blackboard menu. You just may be tempted to stay for dinner so you can try one of the fabulous fish flown in fresh daily from the oceans of the world.

Mishap climaxes tourist trip A tourist chuckwagon accident caused injuries for six visiting Utahns in a mishap just outside Jackson. The Bar-T Five Chuckwagon was returning from Cache Creek Canyon. According to the Teton County Sheriff's office report, the wagon load of 18 to 24 people became too much of a load for the two horses to hold back while coming down a steep grade. The wagon began bumping into the horses' legs, causing the animals to go over an embankment. The wagon tiped on its side. A minor controversy arose over the cause of the accident. Bar-T Five spokesmen, apparently objecting to the reference to the wagon load, said the cause was a broken pivot pin that connects the hitch assembly to the wagon. County Sheriff Roger Millward said the pin may have caused the mishap, but he could not say if it was broken before the accident. "We're not in the insurance investigation business," he said.
