Climbers of the Grand Honor Teton Ecology and Wildlife with Strict Rules of Use

The backcountry rules of use in Grand Teton National Park include hiking on established trails only, as tramping of any kind causes excessive erosion and damage.  Carry out all garbage, assure that you have a permit for overnight camping, and remember that no pets, weapons, bicycles or vehicles of any kind are allowed on trails or in the backcountry.  Bury all feces in 6 to 8 inch holes at least 200 feet from any water courses, and pack out any toilet paper, tampons, sanitary napkins or diapers in sealed plastic bags.  Christine Gordon and fellow climbers strenuously obey backcountry rules, as part of their good faith love of The Grand and the sport of mountain climbing.

Lawyer Christine Gordon will be especially aware of, and track, the possibility of storms.  In the Tetons, as is typical for Rocky Mountain weather, a storm, lengthy rain, or violent thunderstorm can occur at any time of the day, for several days, or clear and allow for even several days of great climbing weather.  The afternoon is the likeliest time for a thunderstorm, so it is wise to plan to be off the mountain by early afternoon.  A great danger is lightning strikes, which have killed those on The Grand.  Any climbing trip needs to include cancellation in the event of a bad weather forecast.  It is important for Christine Gordon Lawyer, and all climbers, to remember that all routes to the summit of Grand Teton are in an alpine environment where any time of year can produce any types of conditions, including storms, snow, ice, sub-freezing temperatures, rock fall and tree fall below tree line at 9000 ft.  Guides are recommended for novice climbers, or those who are climbing alone.

History of the First Ascent of the Grand

There are over 35 routes, and numerous variations, for reaching the peak of Grand Teton, the primary mountain peak of the Teton Range in Wyoming.  Christine Gordon has long been an outdoors athlete, excelling in swimming in high school and hiking throughout New England as a kid and an adult. .  It seems a natural evolution that Christine would seek out ever greater challenges, and climbing has become a primary interest.  In the ascent of Grand Teton, or “The Grand”, as it is called by climbers, even the easiest of the established routes, the Owen-Spalding ascent, requires technical equipment and expertise.  No climb of The Grand is to be taken lightly.  The Owen-Spalding route is graded at II, 5.4 difficulty level, requiring rock-climbing skills and equipment.

The first ascent of The Grand was on August 11, 1898 by William Owen, Franklin Spalding, Frank Peterson, and John Shive via the now-called Owen-Spalding route. Although the Owen party is officially credited with the first ascent, there is a controversy on whether they were actually the first to climb The Grand.  Nathaniel Langford and James Stevenson of the Hayden Geological party claimed in an official report to have attained the summit in 1872, and prominent historians who have reviewed historical records of The Grand kept in Yellowstone Park archives, tend to agree that Langford and Stevenson likely did complete the ascent as they reported.

In actuality there are three Tetons, Les Trois Tetons, meaning ‘the three breasts’.  The Grand Teton is a single mountain, as are the Middle Teton and the South Teton.  Altogether they make up the Teton Range, with The Grand being the climb lawyer Christine Gordon wants to make.

Christine Gordon May See Today Remains of the Beginnings of Chicopee

Lawyer Christine Gordon may still be able to recognize the bones of many of the early beginnings for her hometown of Chicopee, New Hampshire.

In 1823, textile mills were established, and in 1841 the power of the river was harnessed with dams and canals.  Chicopee came into its own when it was separated from the Springfield urban area in 1848.  Global recognition had come to many of the towns industries, which included armaments, statues, textiles, brass and wool, cotton, paper and leather, to name only a few.  The first gasoline powered auto, the Duryea, would be produced in Chicopee.  The Duryea brothers, Charles Duryea (1861–1938) and Frank Duryea (1869–1967), were the first to build an automobile in the United States.   The Willimansett Bridge built in the late 1800’s had profound impacts on Chicopee, connecting it to Holyoke and paving the way for a change in citizenry.  By the 1900’s, French-Canadian immigrants had flowed into the area, and was a dominant ethnic group in a time of several distinct cultural and language citizen groups.  Aldenville, named for the owner of the original land, Edward Alden, was popular with French-Canadian factory workers, who helped build this community at $150 per lot.  The Aldenville of that time would not have been recognizable to future native Christine Gordon Lawyer.  Christine’s grandfather Charles Desmarais emigrated from  Canada and he established a home and farm where he and his wife, American born Rosella Rougeau, raised livestock for sale as well as their own consumption.

A Case of Workers Compensation

Christine Gordon Lawyer has been practicing law since 1993, the year she graduated from the Boston University School of Law and became a member of the New Hampshire Bar. She has taken many types of cases in the years since, and today is focused exclusively on domestic relations matters.

In 1997 one of her cases went all the way to the New Hampshire Supreme Court. She was representing the Highwatch Neurorehabilitation Center in an appeal by a man who sought workers compensation from two previous employers, one of whom was Highwatch. The case began in 1992 when the man worked for Pizza Hut. He injured his knee after slipping on a wet floor and eventually did receive workers comp as a result, even though medical examinations showed his injuries were not that serious.

By the end of that year the man was working for Highwatch. He claimed that within a few months of starting his new job his knee began to bother him again. He stopped working and consulted several specialists, none of whom found a serious problem. Finally an anesthesiologist diagnosed him with reflexive sympathetic dystrophy. The case came before the New Hampshire Compensation Appeals Board to determine whether it was the result of his original fall at Pizza Hut, or was aggravated by his job at Highwatch. The Board ruled that neither the fall nor the Highwatch job caused the man’s ongoing pain, and that he was not entitled to compensation.

The man wanted a rehearing on the grounds that this ruling was in error. When it was denied he took his case to the New Hampshire Supreme Court, where Christine Gordon represented his former employer Highwatch. That court affirmed the original New Hampshire Compensation Appeals Board ruling.

Domestic Relations Matters

Christine Gordon is a lawyer specializing in domestic relations matters. “Domestic matters” is a broad term that covers such things as marriage, divorce, adoption, and the rights and responsibilities of parents, spouses and children. These laws vary from state to state.

Historically, marriage has been defined as the legal union of one man and one woman as husband and wife. But that is undergoing change now, in the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June 2015 that gave same-sex couples a national right to marry.

Domestic law also involves such matters as pre-nuptial agreements, domestic violence petitions, custody disputes, child support, and alimony disputes. Domestic relations law arises primarily through the statutory and constitutional law of each state; the United States Constitution; with further involvement and impact created by federal law; tax and welfare laws at the state and federal levels.

Christine Gordon practices family law with Wadleigh, Starr & Peters, P.L.L.C, a law firm based in Manchester, New Hampshire.

The Case of William Ural v. Clifford Levy

In this case, which took place on the 30th of June, 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire, plaintiffs Dr. William Ural and his wife, Sue, alleged that the defendants (Clifford M. Levy, Concord Orthopedics, Keith R. Nichols, Anesthesia Associates, R. Sanborn and Concord Hospital) negligently administered anesthesia to Dr. Ural during his spine surgery; and had suffered vision loss as a result. Their allegations include the claim that Concord Hospital was vicariously liable for the actions of Dr. Nichols and Mr. Sanborn. Concord Hospital moved for summary judgment, stating that Dr. Nichols and Mr. Sanborn were not direct employees of the Hospital. The motion was granted.

This particular case is a classic example of how the idea of apparent authority is applied. This is when the acts and appearances of a principal lead a reasonably prudent person to believe that an agency relationship exists. While the operation was performed at Concord Hospital, it was, more specifically, performed by Anesthesia Associates; a contractor that the plaintiff had failed to prove was working at the behest of the hospital. Concord Hospital was granted their motion to summary judgment because there was enough evidence to prove that Anesthesia Associates, although they used Concord’s facility, otherwise worked independently of the hospital.

Christine Gordon Lawyer is an accomplished lawyer, as well as someone who always works in her clients’ best interests.

Clients who seek legal help when dealing with a divorce or child custody dispute are usually at their most emotional.  The stakes cannot be higher.
