MOUNTAIN PINE BEETLE ALERT!
SAVING TREES IN JACKSON HOLE
Brace yourself for the BIGGEST onslaught of MOUNTAIN PINE BEETLE ATTACKS since 1978.
HOST: Lodgepole, Limber, White Bark Pine, and Scotch.
In 1978, after killing millions of acres of pine trees, the cycle of the Mountain Pine Beetle reached its peak. A low
temperature of -67 degrees and sustained cold of -30 degrees for weeks killed the beetles ending their cycle.
In 1999, after years of drought/fires the cycle once again reversed itself. The Jackson area hasn’t had a sustained
-30 degree or colder winter in at least 10 years.
This season Mountain Pine Beetles are at a critical saturation point. Homeowners still have 3 weeks to spray and
protect their trees. An 8 foot spruce tree, bought and planted today costs $450. Imagine the value of one large pine,
or the cost to cut it down.
Now scheduling Mountain Pine Beetle spray protection and deep root one-year time-release soil injection fertilization.

A word from our readers
LETTERS
The injustice of man
FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
Matthew J. Irwin
Put pot on the ballot
Earlier this month in Hartford,
Conn., another altweekly found
itself a pot columnist.
In launching the column, the
Hartford Advocate’s editor wrote,
“We notice that it seems like
every third person is getting
busted for having weed in their
car or smoking up in public.
Lawmakers in many states are
pushing to legalize marijuana, in
some cases to solve major
budget problems, or at least to
deter the menace of the Mexican
drug trade. And pot is thought to
be America’s biggest cash crop,
despite the ongoing war on
drugs.”
In this very paper, we’ve reported on major marijuana busts
along I-80, which officials say is a
corridor from the West Coast,
and not to anyone’s surprise –
that’s what makes the classification of marijuana as a schedule
one narcotic, the highest level
possible, so ridiculous. From
Kentucky to Oregon, marijuana
is a cash crop with effects no
more detrimental than alcohol,
which can be regulated and
taxed like alcohol.
Single
If enough states and cities legalize marijuana, the federal government will be forced to comply
– in theory. Let’s test this theory
here in liberal-as-wealthylandowners-can-be Jackson – in
“free” Wyoming.
We can’t let Idaho be more
progressive about individual
choice. In Hailey, near Sun Valley,
It was easy to scoff at
patchouli-stankin,’
navel-gazin’ Boulder,
but Idaho?
the mayor recently told the Idaho
Statesman that marijuana plants
on private property would be the
lowest priority for that city’s police. And his comments were in
response to Sun Valley residents
recently voting to allow medical
marijuana and industrial hemp.
Really? Sun Valley, that halfAspen, Jackson Hole wannabe
provides more individual liberty
than the whole state of
Wyoming? I mean, it was easy to
scoff at patchouli-stankin,’
Track
navel-gazin’ Boulder, but Idaho?
Are we gonna let Idaho call us a
bunch of half-steppin’ liberals
and libertarians?
Sure, I’m co-opting slang (especially the idea of liberty as selfindulgent autonomy), but to a
purpose: this issue affects many
Americans. Marijuana use is a
“victimless crime,” and people
with wide and varied circumstances and beliefs smoke pot.
The majority of those I know are
ambitious, creative and even,
like, proper and shit.
Some illegal drugs are bad.
Meth is bad, the worst I’ve ever
seen, in terms of its ability to
negatively transform individuals
into animals. But the evidence
against marijuana is suggestive
at best, hyperbolic at worst.
Let the people of Jackson decide. Let us decide to put it on
the ballot, or not; let us decide to
make it legal, or not. And if it is
“illegal” for the town to put it on
the ballot, a fight in the courts
might be just the attention the
issue needs.
Put marijuana on the town’s
ballot. JHW
There are times when I cannot help myself but to
question the mentality of human authority. One of such
said times is the recent fatal mauling of a seventy year
old man while hiking in grizzly bear country on the outskirts of Yellowstone Park, resulting in the bear’s immediate execution.
It is through my belief of common reason that the
justice of man has no applicable jurisdiction over the
state of nature. This particularly unfortunate bear had
been previously tampered with by so called “bear officials” involving its entrapment and tranquilization. The
ensuing events led these officials to believe that the perpetrator of the crime was the very same bear. The following forensic D.N.A. results proved validity to the
prosecutions charge, resulting in the immediate execution of the guilty party. Yet, in mans presumed judgment, where was this bears trial, defense attorney and
jury?
This barbaricaly archaic eye for an eye policy that
man yet applies to the natural world is beyond my comprehension. It would appear, were humanity to possess
the power, that he would even punish the skies for delivering the devastation of a tornado. The injustice of
mans’ justice has no rightful position in the arena of natural order. – Patrik Troiani, Jackson
Correction
Last week in a news brief [“Dems name Herz acting
chair,” June 16] JH Weekly incorrectly described the bylaws of the Wyoming Democratic Party. The bylaws
state that the vice chair must fill the duties of the chair’s
absence if the chair should run for office, but do not require the chair to take an official leave of absence.

Thank you trail builders
The sun’s out and it’s time to ride! Luckily, hundreds of volunteers have been working hard to
make the trails better for all of us. The Teton Freedom Riders are currently working on the
Fuzzy Bunny Trail up on the pass. Naturally, you can expect some sweet upgrades from them. If
you have been riding in Teton Valley you may have noticed some huge improvements on Mahogany Creek Trail, thanks to the Teton Valley Trails and Pathways. Also, the Forest Service is
working on Game Creek and Josie’s Ridge. The Game Creek downhill from just west of the divide is being rerouted to have more flow, less rutted and more fun. And Josie’s is getting renovated for some future bike use. The Cache to Game Creek Race has moved to Wednesday July
7th due to weather. Don’t miss out because it will be a great chance to see the new improvements on the trail! And remember, the trails aren’t going anywhere, and it takes a lot of hard
work to get them the way they are. If you see mud on the trail it is OK to walk your bike. See
you out there!

If JH Weekly would cover things besides theater,
(seven articles in five weeks) exhausting all possible adjectives for critique, I would not have to write about
Glenn Beck’s visit to Teton Valley over the July 4th
weekend.
While the FDR’s and Reagan’s, the John Kennedy’s
and Churchill’s have drawn people together in times of
uncertainty, hate preachers like Beck instill distrust and
suspicion between countrymen; but Beck’s incendiary
words are nothing new. They echo in the voice of inquisitionists who burned alive those who claimed the
Earth circled the sun, enraged a country into such patriotic frenzy that otherwise respectable people
rounded up Jews to be killed and suffered no moral
qualms, and they can be heard in Africa, in Pakistan
and Iraq, inciting teenagers to strap bombs to their
chest and kill in retribution for vague crimes or promises of heavenly virgins.
Bill Ayers’ recent visit to Wyoming proves liberals
have idiots as well. An obscure college professor whose
works are published in incomprehensible academic
journals, read by few, understood by less, and influencing none, Ayers is not glorified by his contemporaries,
merely tolerated. What’s disturbing is some real conservatives perceive Beck, a pretentious blowhard, as a
wise sage. For decades conservatives have counterbalanced liberal ideals and passion for justice with hardnosed practicality and love of liberty, a balance that has
served our country well. But recently many conservatives have peddled their honor for thirty pieces of silver,
for rage packaged and sold by pundits, pumped into
their veins like heroin, eating away all that is noble and
good in their cause until nothing is left but an empty
shell of anger, destroying not only their individual dignity but depriving America of conservative common
sense and principle when it’s needed. Of all people,
conservatives should know, you reap what you sow. JHW

BASIC POSITIONS
Teton County Commission Election
I have filed for a seat on our 5 member Teton County Commission, with our Republican primary set for August 17.
To me it is purely a matter of public service not politics. My local experience spans 30 years, working and raising a family
in Jackson Hole.
Here are some of my basic public policy positions:
PLANNING PROCESS The Teton County planning process should be more “user friendly” for homeowners, small
landowners, contractors, small businesses. Less burdensome and bureaucratic for locals, in terms of hassles, expenses and
delays. At the same time, the process should be very strict for the bigger players (developers), who have far more potential
impact on Jackson Hole and can afford to hire all the right people.
I would also like to see a simplification of our Teton County comprehensive plan, where our vital community character
is protected against aggressive development forces but the plan is more understandable and less burdensome for Jackson
Hole locals. The current plan revision process is very complex, and it has been going on for over 3 years with little end in
sight. That is wrong.
NEIGHBORHOODS We need to be more protective of both old and new Jackson Hole neighborhoods, which are
the real core of our community. All too often, ivory tower “planner think” people and development pressures create unfair
disruption and uncertainties for local neighborhoods. We are not an urban community, and many of us do not want Jackson
Hole urbanized.
CONSERVATION I am an old-fashioned conservative, where conservation of our resources is part of the word
conservative. There is no finer example than Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican conservative who was the greatest conservationist
in our Nation’s history. A strong individual with absolute integrity, who always heeded the need for checks and balances
in controlling the influence of money and power. So what do those goals mean on a local level? I am dedicated to the
conservation and preservation of:
-
Our friendly small town character.
Our wide open spaces and wildlife, which are such a critical part of the Jackson Hole we love, and the Jackson Hole
millions of visitors love. We need strong and creative local leadership to protect these vital resources on a fair basis. I will
do my very best, and this commitment comes from the heart.
FISCAL OVERSIGHT This is not an easy time for the County, with major financial problems which may well continue
for quite a while. I believe there was too little strict fiscal oversight in the past, during flush times with vastly increased
tax revenues. That revenue stream has crashed, but many expenses from the boom years remain. Unlike the Federal
government, Teton County cannot print money or tax or borrow to cover our operating expenses. I will take a tough,
hard look at expenses with real fiscal discipline, while being fair.
PUBLIC SAFETY Among other public safety issues, I strongly support a better and safer pathways system, which
is an important part of our alternate transportation system and our recreational base here in Jackson Hole.
Thank you.
Your input will be most appreciated.

Lisa Smith-Batchen continues to
amaze us. We’ve written about her
running exploits before, but this time
the 49-year-old ultramarathon champion has outdone herself. SmithBatchen just completed her Running
Hope Through America challenge to
raise money for the charity AIDS Orphans Rising, which helps children
who lost parents to AIDS.
Smith-Batchen’s run began April 19
in Morris Township, New Jersey
where the Daily Record was interested enough to follow her journey
through all 50 states in 61 days. At 50
miles per state, Smith-Batchen covered 2,500 miles of America, often
outpacing touring RVs.
Along the way, Smith-Batchen received coverage from local newspapers, national television and the Web
site www.runhope.com. She finished
up the run last Friday, arriving exhausted but elated at her hometown
of Driggs.
Smith-Batchen has run the Badwater Ultramarathon in California’s
Death Valley four times and in 1997
set the women’s record of 37 hours
and 1 minute.
Chicago-style JH vacation
Frank Main brought back Jackson
Hole souvenirs to Chicago – blisters,
bumps and bruises – and, boy, did he
have fun.
Flockhart and Ford tie knot.
The Chicago Sun Times staff reporter caught readers up with his
early summer vacation exploits. Main
managed to land eight cutties thanks
to guide Levi Doria of WorldCast Anglers. A round of golf then blistered
his hands and by the time he jumped
on a mountain bike with guide Tim
“Dippy” Dipple, Main was ready for
another vacation.
Main managed to ‘endo’ on
Peaked’s Sidewinder Trail, cutting up
his leg. His travelling buddy, Ted Alvarez of Backpacker Magazine, also
crashed and burned.
Main titled his article, “Man up in
Wyoming.”
Ranch life for wannabes
“George W. Bush has one. So do
Tom Brokaw, T. Boone Pickens, Ralph
Lauren and Julia Roberts. Kevin Costner has two, Ted Turner has more
than a dozen. When is [sic] comes to
ranches, lots of people want one,”
wrote Larry Olmstead in the USA
Today Travel section last weekend.
Sotheby broker John Resor told USA
Today: “To buy a real working ranch
today is a huge expense and a huge
challenge, but by buying into a place
like Shooting Star, you can still enjoy
the ambience and experience and be
ensconced in the ranch lifestyle —
without having to own it all.”
USA Today said second-home
ranchette lifestyle was particularly
appealing to families, cowboys at
heart, and fly-fishing junkies. They
did warn, however, of the drawback
which included neighbors too close
for comfort and less cachet for you if
your jetset crowd finds out you
couldn’t afford your own spread.
Hans solo no more
E!Online joined dozens of media
outlets announcing the marriage of
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart.
The Hollywood gossiper made sure
to mention Ford’s 700-acre ranch in
Jackson Hole, along with his two
high-flying Teton County rescues as a
licensed helicopter pilot.
Despite Jackson Hole being a premiere wedding destination, the couple tied the knot in New Mexico
where Ford is working on the set of
his new sci-fi thriller Cowboys and

Grizzly bear in Trout Creek.
Death in the wild
Grizzly victim had strong opinions about land management.
By Ben Cannon
Wildlife officials say very little
is known about the grizzly bear
that killed a part-time Wyoming
resident last week. Authorities
are awaiting the results of a DNA
test to conclusively link the male
grizzly that bear researches captured hours before it killed 70year-old Erwin Frank Evert. The
results of a pending autopsy will
reveal information like the exact
age of the bear, though officials
believe it is an adult about 10
years old. But many questions
remain, and officials say the only
person who knew exactly what
happened that day will never
have a chance to speak.
Evert, of Park Ridge, Ill., was
mauled to death while hiking in
the Kitty Creek Drainage area
about 10 miles east of Yellowstone National Park. Evert’s body
was found only about two miles
from the cabin he and his wife
have returned to every spring for
the last 40 years, according to
Park County Sheriff Scott Steward.
“He was very familiar with the
area,” Steward said.
The Evert’s cabin is one of
about 30 to 40 cabins in the
Shoshone National Forest between Yellowstone and Cody.
Evert was a familiar face around
the small but tight-knit wilderness community of seasonal residents of the Kitty Creek area,
home to about eight to 10 cabins. An avid outdoorsman who
preferred to spend most of his
days trekking through the woods
near his part-time home, Evert
was less known around Cody,
about 40 miles to the east, where
he occasionally drove to shop for
10 June 16 - 22, 2010
groceries and other supplies.
Evert, a botanist who once
published a book, had strong
opinions about the way public
forest lands are managed, Steward said. The Park County sheriff
had come to know the victim
from an annual summer picnic
attended by cabin owners and
some public officials.
“In this particular case
we may never know the
details of exactly what
happened and why.”
- Chuck Schwartz
“He was critical of management of the forest,” Steward said.
“He was always critical about
[how officials handle] beetle kill
and controlled burns and always
offered his professional opinion.
But he was by no means a troublemaker.”
Early leads in the investigation
indicate Evert knew that wildlife
officials had been in the area
trapping and sedating grizzlies in
order to tag and fit them with a
radio collar. Evert told friends
that he had been backcountry
hiking near the trapping sites,
which are routinely marked with
warning signs to keep people
away. Some friends cautioned
him not to return.
“He was warned not to go
back,” said Chris Servheen, grizzly bear coordinator for the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service. It’s not
clear why Evert decided to return
to the grizzly trapping area on
the afternoon of June 17, the day
he would experience a fatal encounter in the wild.
Evert’s body was discovered by
a member of the Interagency
Grizzly Bear Study Team, who
encountered a worried Yolanda
Evert, Erwin’s wife, who began
searching for her husband after
he didn’t return from an afternoon hike. The bear researcher
came upon the body at the site
where the team earlier in the day
had captured and released bear
646, its most recent grizzly. Officials later tracked the bear by its
radio signal and shot and killed it
from a helicopter.
646 was unknown to authorities before it was trapped, sedated, fit with a radio collar, and
ear-tagged with its identification
number. Grizzly researches have
marked bears this way for more
than three decades, and before
Evert, no one had ever been
killed or seriously injured during
or after the trapping process.
Evert’s is the first grizzly death
in the Yellowstone area in 25 or
30 years.
“It’s been so long ago that it’s
historical at this point,”
Servheen said, explaining that
the last fatal grizzly bear encounter dates far back enough
that the year and victim’s name
are no longer at the fingertips of
bear researchers.
While investigators work to
piece together all the events
leading up to Evert’s death, one
top official said the tragedy may
always be shrouded in an element of the unknown.
“In this particular case we may
never know the details of exactly
what happened and why,” said
Chuck Schwartz, who leads the
Interagecy Grizzly Bear Study
Team. “There was only one person there and that was Mr.
Evert.” JHW

The owner of Cafe
Ponza, the late night
pizzeria that has been
plagued by trouble with
the IRS and a lawsuit, said
the business will remain
open through the summer
and possibly longer.
Alex Lehnen, a.k.a.
Alex von Salad, said he
has been approved for
Chapter 13 bankruptcy
protection, allowing him
to stay in business as long
as his case moves through
the bankruptcy system,
which can take many
Alex Von Salad
months
“Bankruptcy can be a lengthy process,” Lehnen said.
In early June, Lehnen was served eviciton papers by his landlord,
Pink Garter LLC, which justified the move by citing an IRS tax lien as
well as a lawsuit against Lehnen brought by former landlord Bruce
Egan over a loan that was never repaid.
Last week, dozens of friends of Ponza held a party at another
downtown restaurant to show support for the embattled pizzeria
and its owner, a controversial figure known for making over-the-top
statements with European flair. At the party, Lehnen handed out free
stickers that ridiculously equated his current landlords to a certain
global petroleum company now synonymous with trouble in the Gulf
of Mexico.
The party only raised about $100, Lehnen said, but morale was
boosted to a greater degree.
“A lot of people came out to support and manifest Cafe Ponza
and what it was meant to do,” Lehnen said.
Pink Garter LLC representatives were not contacted for this
story.
GTNP names chief ranger
Grand Teton National Park has a new deputy chief ranger.
National Parks Service veteran Michael Nash was recently named
to the post, a park spokeswoman said. Nash will replace Andy
Fisher, who retired as deputy chief ranger in April.
Nash comes to Grand Teton from Grand Canyon National Park,
where he was deputy chief ranger.
As chief ranger, Nash will be responsible for the park’s Division of
Visitor and Resource Protection, the department that
oversees ranger activities,
fire and aviation management, the Teton Interagency
Dispatch Center, and the fee
and revenue program. That
division also performs a
range of public safety and
service functions, including
law enforcement, search
and rescue, emergency
medical services, and resource protection.
An Ohio native, Nash
began his Park Service career in 1992 at Acadia NaMichael Nash
tional Park in Maine.

Grand Targhee Resort will ring in the summer season with a kickoff party that will mark the beginning of a summer set to include
music festivals, bike races, a disc golf tournament and more.
On Friday evening, friends of the resort will gather at the Habitat
provisions shop in downtown Driggs for free beer and a discount on
all merchandise. The Dreamchater chairlift begins summer service
for hikers and mountain bikers Saturday, with a summer season pass
going for $49. A series of downhill mountain bike races happening at
the resort begins in late July, as does the 13th annual Targhee disc
golf open. The resorts two signature music festivals –Targhee Bluegrass and the Targhee Music Festival – are back with all-star lineups.

We at JH Weekly have a pet peeve about writers
falsely proclaiming the arrival of summer. The announcements, which tend to begin at the earliest
sign of warmth, usually appear in the intro to some
column, blog post or newsletter. The problem is that
people begin stating ‘yes, summer has arrived!’ as
early as May, or even the first half of June, when the
proclamation is usually followed by days or weeks of
chilly, wet weather that is decidedly spring-like. One
marketing type even proclaimed that summer was “officially here” at least three or four weeks before the summer solstice, the day summer “officially” began. Alas, even
we are guilty of this faux pas: some of our own columnists
have a habit of prematurely announcing summer’s arrival.
Having said all that, summer is officially here! Herewith, we
bring to you our inaugural JH Weekly Summer Guide, a pull-out
section which you can actually save.
Inside you’ll find information about all sorts of outdoor activities, cultural events, miscellaneous summer events, and even a
bit about where to find Aaron Wallis, the controversial art
world figure who has a murky connection to a mysterious
playboy named Johnny Ocean.
The days only get shorter from here, and may the summer continue to unlock worlds of possibility. – Ben Cannon
Matthew Irwin fishing the Snake by Aaron Davis
from SUMMER GUIDE page 11
2,600 miles of
fishY water
It had almost become urban legend before experiencing it firsthand.
“There are several high alpine lakes in Grand Teton National
Park that sustain a healthy and willing population of native cutthroat trout,” a Teton Park ranger once told me. “They rarely get
fished.”
I scoured the topo map and picked out a lake. My overnight
pack was around 60 pounds. The constant elevation gain was grueling, but the payoff was majestic and ridiculously fruitful. Pristine
and off the beaten path, the catching came easy at this particular
glacial lake, which made the hike back down to the valley all
smiles.
One of the many benefits of fishing in the Yellowstone Ecosystem (28,000 square miles) is the mind-blowing amount of accessible fishing water (2,600 miles in Yellowstone Park alone). If you
maintain the thought that fishing doesn’t always mean catching—
even if you drop hundreds of dollars for a guide—you’re bound to
look beyond the rod tip and enjoy the moment. – Aaron Davis

JUST FLOAT
You probably already knew about the world class whitewater rafting that occurs in the Snake River Canyon, but did you know about the relaxing and scenic float trips
found upstream?
It doesn’t matter if you’re a local with a day off or a tourist looking for the best way to spend a day in Jackson Hole. To first-timers, I always recommend an early
morning scenic float of Deadman’s Bar to Moose on the Snake River. It’s arguably the most beautiful stretch of commercial river in all of the National Parks. If it leaves
you jones-ing for more, hit the whitewater section in Snake River Canyon in the afternoon.
For locals and returning floaters, you may want more solitude. Consider renting a canoe and taking it to one of the following: Lower Slide Lake in the Gros Ventre
Mountains, Jenny Lake and String Lake in Grand Teton Park, Teton River in Teton Valley, or the Salt River near Alpine. For tubing adventure, try South Park Bridge to the
Hoback stretch of the Snake.
Keep in mind that most sections of the Snake require expert navigation. And while lakes are generally safer, keep an eye on the afternoon wind forecast and you’ll
need a non-motorized boat permit ($20) for the national parks.
A hard boat like a touring kayak is perfect for exploring one of several lakes in Grand Teton National Park where boating is allowed. A favorite summertime activity
among many of the young locals involves taking tire inter-tubes down Flat Creek, flowing right through the heart of Jackson. – Aaron Davis (with Ben Cannon)

A few years back when I sold my all of my climbing gear except for my crash pad, a traditional
climbing friend asked me – in a way considerably less derogatory than most traditional climbers – how
I could consider bouldering a sport into itself – versus “training” for trad climbing. I took him out to
Boulder City in Grand Teton National Park, where I attempted to demonstrate the heightened nuance
of the moves and thrill of topping out. In my eagerness, I ignored that it was raining lightly, and the
rock was slick. When the sticky rubber soles hit the top of the rock, they slid right off and so did I, 15
feet or so to the bottom. My buddy luckily saw me coming and batted me towards the crash pad. I
sprained my wrist and bloodied my knee in the fall, then said, “Some other time, then.”

WHERE WILL THE MUSIC TAKE YOU?
HEN
Always a runner but never entirely dedicated, when I began trail running, something changed.
Instead of stomping my feet on unforgiving pavement and huffing car
exhaust, I was hopping streams, dodging rocks and roots, soaking in
smells of sagebrush and wildflowers, and rendezvousing with wildlife.
While running in Cache Canyon, on more than one occasion, I have arrived within several feet of a mother and baby moose whose sheer presence I felt moments before approaching them. And during a run through
Lupine Meadows, I saw my first bear. These moments are humbling; soul
quenching and distracting from the painful glory of running long distances.
Trail running takes what can sometimes become a mundane activity and
involves a more colorful playing field. Breathtaking views, total serenity
and a sense of oneness with nature are just a few of the tools provided
that can push you to your eighth, ninth and tenth miles. Finding a new
trail to conquer each day, set back in the woods away from the valley’s
summer congestion, keeps trail running exciting and meditative while the
cardiovascular benefits - as well as
improved balance, coordination
and endurance - make this a
worthwhile endeavor for the body
and the mind.
And the sport is easy for just
about anyone to pick up. All you
need to get started is a pair of
trail running shoes, patience and,
for some, the will to go further
and steeper. – Robyn Vincent

After a hard day of mountain biking, rafting, or working that J-O-B,
nothing beats an ice-cold pint and shots. With the exception of AA
meetings just about any social activity in Jackson involves drinking, and
boy can people here hold their liquor. With more police per capita than
North Korea, and only two roads out of town, the cards are marked
and the deck is stacked. So use the threat of a DUI as an excuse to
crash on a friend’s couch, and maybe cop a feel. But first get warmed
up at one of my favorite local watering holes.
■ Thai Me Up’s IPAs are on par with the best West Coast micro
brews. If you want to be stuck in a monogamous relationship with the
other brewery in town that’s cool. But I’ll tell you what; the head and
the hops are better on the East Side.
■ Well, it’s kind of small and crowded, but that makes me feel like I
am in a real city. And if I am going to pay for an expensive drink, I expect there to be alcohol in it. That’s why I go to Koshu.
■ Two-for-one, that should be illegal. But it’s not at the Cadillac
Grille, though after 10-for-five I might just go home with a fat girl, if
there were any in Jackson.

The men of Petticoat Rules have women’s spurs in their hearts.
On the stage
ZAC ROSSER
Last summer, I was privileged to be part of Off Square Theatre’s production of Petticoat Rules, and I’m excited to see that it’s
returning again this summer. Favored by locals and visitors alike, the musical is an entertaining and oft comedic history of Jackson
Hole’s first ever all-women’s town council. The performance will be gracing the Center for the Arts stage and will be produced
in repertory with Always…Patsy Cline, also produced by Off Square. Filled with 27 of Cline’s greatest hits, the musical is a delight
for both fans and newcomers.
The Jackson Hole Playhouse is back in action with pistols cocked and rifles loaded as Annie Get Your Gun returns to an iconic,
local theater. The classic musical about Annie Oakley and her gun-slinging beau, Frank Butler, is a high-energy
romp filled with familiar tunes and quirky choreography. Don’t forget to catch
the pre-show in the lobby before each performance.
The valley’s “community conscious” theater company, Riot Act Inc., will also likely host a performance
of The Bogeyman, an original production pulling from
just about every artform and from within the area’s talent pool.
Off Square’s acting classes are pumping out more
young talent every year with the “Legends of the Wild
West” and “Kings, Queens and Castles” performance
camps.
The Laff Staff improv comedy troupe is also offering
free open sessions throughout the summer.
Housing a professional dance company and a junior
repertoire dance troupe, Dancers' Workshop also brings
the world's finest dance organization to the valley, including The Chamber Ensemble of New York City Ballet,
which will be in residence at DW, August 2 to 7. NYC Ballet will hold open rehearsals, master classes and three performances over the week. In addition to teaching many
forms of dance to all ages, DW also holds classes in Zumba,
Pilates, yoga and more. – Andrew Munz (with Matthew

No matter what style or pace of cycling you prefer, Jackson Hole is a cyclist’s paradise.
There are mountain bike trails to entertain riders
of any experience level, from the family of beginners
looking for a leisurely tour to pros who like to flirt
with bodily injury.
For road warriors, the vistas, open space and relative flatness of the valley floor make this an ideal destination for biking.
A new bicycle pathway that begins at the Moose entrance into Grand Teton National Park, resplendent
with up-close views of the dramatic Tetons, promises
to make the park one of the most desirable biking
routes in the country.
It can also be a lot of fun to just hop on a cruiser,
even an old Scwhinn, and check out all that Jackson the
town has to offer. A number of friendly bike shops
staffed by world-class mechanics and fitters can either
tune-up your old set of wheels or put you on a new
one. All of the following shops offer rentals of bikes
equipped with the latest technology. To go from there,
simply ask someone with the shop to point you in the
right direction. – Ben Cannon

Art galleries in and around the town of Jackson have become the center of the region’s
social and cultural universe – no doubt a result of the influx of young artists and a general
burgeoning of the arts over the last 10 years that came with the completion of the Center
for the Arts. Nonprofits in the Center, such as the Art Association, Teton Artlab and Center
of Wonder, engage local, up-and-coming artists as teachers and exhibitors. The Center of
Wonder also leads the area’s public art initiative.
Contemporary galleries like Alta Mira,
Heather James, Tayloe Piggott and CIAO
have also cropped up over the last decade,
bringing new views and ideas to the region’s
long-established collection of wildlife and
Western art. For the more traditional fine
arts, check out Astoria Fine Arts, Trailside
Gallery (which carries local plein air legend
Greg McHuron) and Images of Nature (home
gallery to photographer Tom Mangelsen). Trio
Fine Art also has a regular collection of regional artists. Galleries will have openings
throughout the summer, but look out in particular for art fairs, as well as First Friday and
Third Thursday art walks, when local art lovers
and socialites hit the streets. – Matthew Irwin

Jackson History
Being as we are from all over the country, Jackson
Hole residents don’t know a whole lot about the area.
We do know, however, where the Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum is located, and the historians there are more than willing to help (especially if
your aim is to reveal the true history of the valley, versus hyperbolizing the “Wild West” image for a few
extra bucks). In addition to free campfire tales, a summer barbeque, and presentations on river running and
other local pastimes, the Historical Society offers free walking
tours of historic downtown Jackson, twice
weekly. – Matthew

It’s hard not to get inspired by the beautiful summer surroundings in the valley, so why not put those ideas to
paper? The Grand Teton Association is hosting “Writers in
the Park,” which invites writers to perform outdoor writing exercises with the help of a guest author in the shadow
of the Tetons. Facilitator and local author Tina Welling has
invited authors Patti Sherlock, Matt Daly and Jeremy
Schmidt to present for July, August and September,
respectively.
The Jackson Hole Writers Conference takes place
in late June and allows the opportunity for critique
and growth for writers from all over the United
States. Special guests Janet Fitch, Tim Cahill,
Winifred Gallagher, and Louis Bayard. – Andrew Munz

Golfers are a lot like a new couple that has had sex
for the first time. They want to do it everywhere they
can think of, though the act doesn’t change all that
much – just the scenery. Of course, with sex there is
the risk of getting caught in a public place, and the
only thing I find interesting about golf, anywhere, is
the prospect of driving a cart on margaritas and beer,
but for those of you who do enjoy the links, the Jackson Hole area has many options. The further you
drive (in your car), the less you will pay to play. –

Weekend of the
aspiring writer
Let’s say you have a dream of
one day becoming a published
writer. Perhaps you have a manuscript you’ve been working on
for years, or an idea for a novel
that is still in the brewing
process. No matter your penchant for the written word, this
weekend is a godsend for Jacksonites infused with the desire to
put pen to paper.
Jumpstarting the celebrated
Jackson Hole Writers Conference,
published novelists Lise McClendon and Deborah Turrell Atkinson are hosting “Truly Richly
Deeply,” a writing workshop for
fiction writers who hope to flesh
out their novels in progress.
In its 18th year of operation,
the conference attracts a wide
variety of amateur writers hoping
to learn from the best in the
business. While previous years
included big names in fiction like
Jane Hamilton, Christopher
Moore, and Elizabeth George,
this year’s fare showcases big
names like White Oleander author Janet Fitch, and Louis Bayard, writer of The Pale Blue Eye.
Among many others, local novelists such as Tina Welling, John
Byrne Cook, and Kyle Mills will
also be in attendance.
While fiction is the most popular track taken by attendees, rest
assured that there are also opportunities for poets, memoirists
and nonfiction writers. During
the conference itself, various
workshops will be offered including a graphic novel workshop
hosted by novelist Tiffanie DeBartolo. Attendees are allowed to
attend any workshop regardless
of their track.
But the main draw is the ability to submit 15 pages of material
for critique by the professionals
who will offer feedback in oneon-one sessions. Literary agents
and editors will also be in attendance in hopes of seeking out

new talent, and offering advice

Although the four-day conference concludes on Sunday with a
book signing in the Center for the
Arts lobby, faculty member Nicole
Burdick continues the fun with
the “Seeing Like A Writer” creative
camp aimed towards kids, grades
six to nine. The five-day workshop, operating with the Art Association, allows young participants
to experience the world from a
writer’s point of view.
“Kiddos are thinking critically
yet they still have some of that
pure imagination and openmindedness intact to really explore the way they look at the
world,” Burdick said.

GOOD EATS
Reel good wine
Slow sips, comrade
Maynard James Keenan may be best known
for his belting vocals for the band Tool, but his
biggest talent may be best enjoyed with a hunk
of gruyere and a slice of pear. Rock music is his
career, but winemaking is his passion as seen
in the documentary Blood Into Wine, showing
this weekend at the Pink Garter Theater.
“We’re not chasing the market, we’re making
wines that we love to make,” said Eric Glomski
in the film’s trailer. Glomski is Keenan’s partner
at Stronghold Vineyards in Arizona. The fastpaced, entertaining doc also features appearances by Milla Jovovich, Juliette Lewis and Elijah
Wood, and will detail the winemaking process
from a less stuffy, tricked-out perspective.
Before each screening, a wine tasting will
commence at the newly installed bar area in
front of the theater’s entrance. One glass of
wine will be included in the ticket price. This
will be the first major event at the newly managed Pink Garter, and owner Dom Gagliardi
can’t wait to see how it goes.
“I think there’s a large fan base of the band
here, and there’s a great wine community in
Jackson,” he said.
Blood Into Wine is 7 p.m. for the wine tasting, 8 p.m. for the screening, Thursday through
Saturday. Pink Garter Theater. $10.
www.bloodintowine.com.
The minds behind the JH Vertical Harvest greenhouse project will be hosting a vodka
tasting this Friday at the Lotus Café. Vodkas, such as 44 North’s Huckleberry and Teton
Glacier, will be paired with a selection of scrumptious appetizers.
Vodka pairing is 5:30 to 9 p.m., Thursday, at Lotus Café. $10 to $15. 734-0882.
Make room for Annie
THEATER
Annie Get Your Gun, Jackson Hole Playhouse’s summer production, is a musical about
clashing egos in a time of big egos with guns. The star of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show,
Frank Butler (Cody Walker) hasn’t met anyone who can match his shooting ability until a
stop in Cincinnati pits him against local sure-shot, Annie Oakley (Savanna Garnick). Annie
falls in love, but Frank tells her he likes soft women, in the song “The Girl That I Marry.”
Buffalo Bill welcomes Annie to the show, where she challenges Frank’s manhood, by being
a better shot, and attempts to win his affection, by acting as his humble assistant. Annie Get
Your Gun could be viewed through a feminist critique of Annie’s internal struggle to choose
between a man’s ego and her ability to succeed, but it can also be viewed through Frank’s
struggle with masculine identity in the face of a strong woman. Frank is handsome, rugged
and confident. When he opens his mouth to sing, however, out comes a lovely operatic
tone – which not only suits his character’s swagger, but also suggests his latent tenderness.
The talent, however, isn’t the problem with the playhouse’s production of the Irving Berlin
classic – the venue is. In the opening number (“There’s No Business Like Show Business”),
a cast of more than 10 dances right against the walls, and the ceiling practically obstructs
the stage. The sound has a tin-can hollowness that seemed delayed at times, and I could
hardly hear some actors unless they stood next to others who were miked. Not to mention,
the curtains are getting a little worn. Without renovations in sound and stage, Annie Get
Your Gun is just too big for the playhouse’s britches. It makes a cast of skilled young actors
look like they’re performing for their parents in a suburban basement. – Matthew Irwin
Annie Get Your Gun shows 8 p.m., daily except Sundays, Jackson Hole Playhouse. Dinner
available. $19-$52. 733-6994. www.jhplayhouse.com.

DANIEL COSTEN
Thursday 6.24
The New Familiars
It shall be released
By Aaron Davis
A band name like The New Familiars suggests paralleling a tradition laced with something
contemporary, a non-pretentious angle on progressing
music.
This Charlotte-based folk-rock
quartet splices acoustic and
electric strings with a solid drum
and bass rhythm section that
never seems over-the-top. There
are no crazy effects, no odd time
changes, just crafty songwriting
and a groove reminiscent of
Austin’s Band of Heathens.
Immediately recognizable to
my ears, the Western North Carolina twang comes through loud
and clear when discussing life
on the road with drummer
Daniel Flynn. He joined the
band nearly three years ago and
speaks of the taxing lifestyle of
paying dues in an independent
music world.
“It’s not as glamorous as it’s
made out to be, but it’s like a
good drug and you want more of
it,” Flynn said of all the little
things that sum up life in an unsigned touring band. “Honestly,
a lot of it sucks. Then, we get on
“It’s not as glamorous as
it’s made out to be, but
it’s like a good drug and
you want more of it.”
- Daniel Flynn
stage, and the two hours of playing makes everything worth it.”
The New Familiars have certainly paid some dues. The duo
of Justin Daniel (vocals, resonator guitar) and Justin Fedor
(vocals, guitar, mandolin, banjo)
stirred a buzz in the local Char-
lotte scene before shuffling
through a few different band
members. The band has released
two EPs—The Black Rose and
The Storm—as well as a vinyl
single, “Mills River/My Girl,” and
is currently touring in support of
a 30-minute live album recorded
on August 1, 2009 at The Neighborhood Theatre in Charlotte.
The band’s forthcoming studio release, Between The Moon &
The Morning Light, which has
spent some time on the backburner, exemplifies a neighborly
influence of The Avett Brothers
more than Appalachian roots, as
The Familiar’s bio suggests. A
trolling banjo over edgy bottleneck riffs, anthemic choruses,
and a less-is-more approach
leans more towards melody than
ripping solos. As for making it
available to consumers, great
care is being taken.
“From the time we started
recording the album, some band
members changed, so it has
taken a while to get the sound
we were going for,” Flynn said.
“It’s ready to be released, but we
have new management that
we’re really excited about, so we
are shopping it around [to indie
labels].”
Though this will be the band’s
first full-length studio album
with the current band members,
it has done well for itself by
keeping a steady tour pace. After
spending quality time in the
Rockies, the Midwest, and Texas,
it will perform on World Café
Live as well as three days at the
high profile Bristol Rhythm and
Roots Festival. Be there for the
band’s first Wyoming show. JHW

Lonesome Heroes bring psychedelic country for a handful of regional shows
underneath a playful boy-girl
vocal blend from Landry
McMeans and Rich Russell
often pushes the indie rock
quintet into psychedelia—but
not without the songwriting
sensibilities of classic country
and folk.
Leo Rondeau’s band will
command the middle bill with
honkytonk anthems and country ballads. He’s got a classic
country voice projecting
charismatic lyrical wit.
3rd Annual
Soundcheck Concert
With double country love
from Austin, Texas and local
celebs opening the show, the
Pinedale Fine Arts Council has
ramped-up the 3rd Annual
Soundcheck Concert.
Not the square kind of country, nor outlaw country, or even
contemporary country would
fit what The Lonesome Heroes
from Austin bring to the stage.

Henry Rollins
Henry Rollins: American punk icon
By Ben Cannon
The future is unwritten as to
what kind of an audience, or
how large of one, will greet
Henry Rollins when he performs his Henry Rollins schtick
at the Center for the Arts
Wednesday (as in the same day
this hits newsstands).
This will mark the first time
the American hardcore punk
rock icon has ever visited Jackson Hole, and it also possibly
marks a first for Jackson Hole
itself, which isn’t known for associations of any kind with former punk rock icons. In an
exclusive interview, the former
singer of the seminal hardcore
punk band Black Flag, a man
once known for getting into
fist-fights with audience members, discusses his more recent
turn as an essayist of the spoken word.
JH Weekly: People want to
know, what exactly does Henry
Rollins do on stage these days?
Henry Rollins: All these shows
are the same in that, year after
year, I tell you about where I
been, what I saw, and what I
feel about it. Before this tour, I
traveled for basically about

It’s an interesting time in the

going to affect the entire world.
The fact that we’ve got a nonwhite president makes things

pretty interesting. So all of that
comes into play. There’s a lot of
tales about traveling, for sure.
JH: What’s your traveling
schtick?
HR: Well, my schtick is to
walk the streets and meet people and take a lot of photographs. I walk down sreets,
along rivers, next to railroad
tracks, into slums, into graveyards and try and see what
people are going through.
JHW: How do you interpret
that into the show?
HR: It’s interesting to see
what America looks like in
other places. We do wash up to

You see kids running around in
shirts they get off some palette
sent by some goodwill agency
from America. You’ll see some
kid in a slayer shirt and he has
no idea what he’s wearing because there is no context. I saw
some kid in a Led Zeppelin
shirt that a buddy of mine did
the artwork for. I said, ‘Led

things.
JHW: You’re looking at 50
and are a self-described ‘aging
alternative icon.’ What’s the
older Henry Rollins know?
HR: More laps around the
track. You get to see more
things. As an older person, I’ve
become less self-involved. With
youth you’re a bit precious
about things – it’s ‘me, me, me.’
As an older person, and seeing
what I’ve seen, it’s more of a
‘we, we, we’ situation. Also, I’m
a bit more patient. You can
come at things from a broader
perspective.
JHW: Do you feel as focused
and intense as ever?
HR: Yeah, actually I’m able to
focus more. You realy realize
what you need to get done and
how much time you have to do
it. I get it done and I work with
a great deal of vigor.

By Johnny Ocean
Ahoy mates! It was a cold and
wet Friday night in Jackson Hole,
June 11. I was growing quite
weary of the drunken ramblings
and folksy homespun witticisms
of the Four Seasons Bar crowd.
With all hope for an evening of
cultural significance fading, my
eye caught an advertisement for
Live Experiments, a contemporary dance performance by Jackson’s Contemporary Dance
Wyoming.
Mere minutes to showtime,
speed was of the essence. My
newly rebuilt Aston Martin V-8
made short work of the wet
curves on Wilson Road. I arrived
at the conclusion of the first
dance and slipped into my seat
unnoticed. No small feat, for the
arrival of an Ocean at any event
of social significance often
causes a stir among the paparazzi. “The Mechanics of Enlightenment” began, fittingly
enough, with a troupe of dancers
in blue mechanics’ overalls. Erie
fluorescent lights cast a Blade
Runner-esque glow across the
floor as the dancers embarked
on a series of austere and automated gyrations.
Like much of the postmodern
sensibility in modern dance, the
piece embraced the nonlinear
dichotomy of literary deconstruction. The dancers sprung
across the stage like cybertronic
sirens, intently and inexorably
driven towards an anti-climax. I
say Bravo! It was a bold stroke
against the repressive confines of
the classical movement and ultimately a reaffirmation of amorphous gender roles.
The next few performances,
such as “Boom Boom,” were a
pleasing swirl of color, sound and
motion. Intermission arrived and
I retired to the lobby for a long
overdue libation. I must say the
Center for The Arts’ wine selection was an affront to the sensibilities of any refined palette.
Forced to choose between a
cabernet and a merlot, I chose
the former – barbaric concoction
with not so subtle undertones of
battery acid, cough syrup, drain
cleaner and chocolate.
The intermission ran its
course and a piece, titled “The
Cheese Stands Alone,” by Ludwig
Dance Theatre began. Though
the choreography was of the
same exceptional quality, I found
the child’s voiceover narrative to
be particularly didactic. I also
question the use of domestic
Swiss in the performance. I feel
that a semi-soft cheese would
have been a more appropriate
choice and I hope that the Ari-
ZAC ROSSER
An evening of dance
Four dancers, but only seven flawless legs?
zona-based dance troupe will
consider mahon or Port Salut in
future performances.
The performance concluded
with a rousing ode to the body
en motion, titled “Come Together.” Dancers clad in rather
minimalist skintight black
jumpers, strutted to the beat of
“St Germain.” Knowing
Wyoming all too well, I fear that
my adulation for the postmodern will encourage few people to
attend a Dancers’ Workshop performance, and might actually
hurt attendance. But if I say that
“with eight dancers on stage
there were 16 flawless legs in action,” it might encourage some
of the less cultured to attend a
performance. Alas, we are all ultimately a product of our era of
objectification. And I laude
Dancers’ Workshop for successfully deconstructing the object
through motion.
I found myself inspired, to attend one of Dancers’ Workshop’s
ongoing summer dance classes.
And I exhort the residents of
Jackson not to waste their summer in idle frolicking, but to appreciate and participate in the
performing arts. JHW

Sammy Walls (left), Aislinn Field and a black-and-white.
Milkshakes and futbol
By Tyler Alford
My dad introduced me to the
‘black-and-white’ milkshake. He
used to order them on hot Mississippi afternoons from the Crystal
in Greenwood, Miss. The blackand-white is one of those special
culinary items that you think believe won’t be as good as you remember it.
On a chill summer afternoon, I
invited a friend to join me at Betty
Rock Cafe to celebrate his birthday with a quick lunch. We sat at
the soda-fountain style bar
among a throng of individuals
glued to the TV for the France vs.
Mexico World Cup match.
Betty Rock’s menu is wholesome and simple with salads, hot
and cold sandwiches, and wraps.
There are no French fries on the
menu, no over-the-top fried
foods or unnecessary amounts of
truffle oil and cheese poured over
everything, and you can get two
different sizes of Coke in a bottle.
Betty Rock is also the first place in
town that I have seen to serve
cream soda.
Soon, I was served what I had
really come for: a black-andwhite milkshake. It came in a tall
cold pint glass. I let my friend
have the “extra” milkshake that
came in the metal mixing cup,
and dove into the shake, expecting to be mildly disappointed; I
was not.
The milkshake was every bit as
good as I remember from my
youth. Made with rich vanilla ice
cream, two-percent milk and
Monin chocolate sauce, it was
thick and creamy, while still thin
enough to get through a straw. My
friend, who had never had a
black-and-white before, was also
impressed, saying later that it
cured the effects of too many
other beverages he had had the
night before.
Shortly after, our lunch arrived.
I had the tuna melt, stacked high
with tomato, cheddar cheese and
house-made tuna salad, light by
design on mayo and seasoning,
so that I could enjoy the full flavor
of the albacore, complimented by
pickle and whole grain mustard.
My friend ordered a Greek salad
that was large and fresh with
healthy portions of feta cheese.
We sat there at the bar surrounded by the owners, adults
and kids all very enthralled in the
soccer game on the television
screen. As the second half of the
game crept along, the busy and
energetic restaurant thinned out,
leaving a core group of soccer
fans finishing their lunches –
missing their mouths, that is, as
they tried to keep both eyes on
the game. When Mexico scored its
first goal, the entire restaurant
erupted with cheers. I had been
pulling for France up to this
point, but was happy to join the
underdog’s side. Mexico scored
again and everyone around the
bar high-fived each other, including the dishwasher who had been
invited to come out for his lunch
break to watch his home-country’s team play.
Betty Rock’s service is quick
and and the food is no-frills delicious. It also specializes in vegetarian and gluten-free options,
and will now be open for dinner
Monday through Saturday. JHW

Large avalanche, June 10, in upper Paintbrush Canyon.
GTNP trail traffic and conditions
By Matthew Irwin
All the trails in Grand Teton National Park are looking good, according to a park official; hikers
are just going to run into snow
eventually, and skiers still have
plenty of good lines.
“The snow is still supportable
for walking,” Park Ranger G.R.
Fletcher said. “So if that’s what
people like, that’s the way to go.”
On Monday, Fletcher said that
reports put the snowline between
8,500 and 9,000 feet, with the
9,000 to 10,000 range being
snowy, but solid, up to around
11,000 feet, where hikers are experiencing some post-holing.
Fletcher didn’t have a firsthand
account of the skiing, but said
that the last time he thought the
snow looked good was Saturday.
Anyone venturing past the
snowline should consider bringing an ice axe and crampons, in
addition to being generally cautious. A fall on snowy slopes could
turn dangerous, pretty quickly, he
said, and about 10 days ago, a
large wet slab avalanche fell in
Paintbrush Canyon, causing some
destruction to the landscape, but
not reaching the trail.
“It was a D4, which is almost as
big as they get,” Fletcher said.
Cascade Canyon, he said, on
the west side of Jenny Lake has
been popular with visitors, because of the moderate terrain and
the boat access, but Open, Hanging and Paintbrush canyons have
had little traffic in his recent
jaunts. On a recent hike up Garnet
– a favorite of Fletcher’s because it
accesses most of the big peaks in
the Teton Range – he saw 10 to 15
people.
“It’s pretty quiet hiking right
now,” he said.
On the other hand, if visitors
want to see moose, Cascade
Canyon – lined with meadows
and ponds – is almost a sure bet,
Fletcher said.
The official trail report by
Grand Teton National Park, made
available to JH Weekly on Monday,
said that closures remain for a
portion of Two-Ocean Lake trail
until August 15 for nesting bald
eagles. It also said Jenny Lake trail
is snow-free; String Lake is clear
but wet and muddy; Taggart Lake
Elizabeth Kingwill,
is very dry; Lawrence S. Rockefeller Preserve is clear; Cascade
Canyon is snowy after the fork;
Death Canyon has snow in the
upper switchbacks; Garnet
Canyon is snowy above the platforms; Granite Canyon is very dry
and snow-free to the forks; Paintbrush Canyon is solid with snow a
little higher up; and all other
trails, particularly up the canyons,
have considerable snow cover.
“Recent heavy precipitation
and warm temperatures have produced unstable snowpack creating high avalanche danger,” the
report said. “Warm temperatures
and longer days mean that creeks
and streams in the Teton canyons
are running full. The remaining
snow pack can be slushy, creating
slippery footing for hikers.”
So, like Fletcher said, if you’re
into that kind of thing … but if not,
GTNP has plenty of dry trails and
low traffic right now, so get out. JHW

FREEWILL ASTROLOGY
WEEK OF JUNE 23, 2010
ARIES (March 21-April 19): A few years
ago, a group of artists built a giant bunny out
of pink wool on an Italian mountainside. The
200-foot-long effigy will remain there until
2025. There’s a disturbing aspect to this
seemingly goofy artifact, however: It has a
wound in its side where its guts are spilling
out. That’s why I don’t recommend that you
travel there and commune with it. According to my reading of the astrological omens,
you would definitely benefit from crawling
into a fetal position and sucking your thumb
while lying in the comfy embrace of a humongous mommy substitute. But you
shouldn’t tolerate any tricks or jokes that
might limit your ability to sink into total
peace and relaxation.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1998, I
spent three weeks reading The Psychoanalysis of Fire and The Poetics of Reverie,
two books by French philosopher Gaston
Bachelard. His teachings were so evocative that I filled up two 120-page journals
with my notes. To this day, I still refer to
them, continuing to draw fresh inspiration
from ideas I wasn’t ripe enough to fully understand when I first encountered them.
You’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when a similar event could happen for you, Taurus: a supercharged
educational opportunity that will fuel you
for a long time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Congrats, Gemini! You have not only weathered your recent phase of relentless novelty; you’ve
thrived on the adjustments it demanded of
you. I am hereby awarding you with the
rare and prestigious title of Change-Lover,
which I only bestow upon one of the signs
of the zodiac every four years or so. So
what’s next on the schedule? The shock of
the new will soon subside, giving you a
chance to more fully integrate the fresh approaches you’ve been adopting. I suggest
you relax your hyper-vigilance and slip into
a slower, smoother, more reflective groove.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here are the
low-paying jobs I’ve done that I wasn’t very
good at: tapping sap from maple trees in
Vermont; driving a taxi in North Carolina;
toiling as an amusement park ride operator
in New Jersey; being a guinea pig for medical experiments in California; digging
ditches in South Carolina; and picking olives
from trees in the south of France. Do I feel
like a failure for being such a mediocre
worker and making so little money? No, because although it took me a while, I finally
found jobs I was good at, and have been
thriving ever since. Why would I judge myself harshly for having trouble doing things
that weren’t in sync with my soul’s code?
Please apply this line of thinking to yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Each year, Playboy
magazine publishes a list of the best colleges
to go to if you prefer partying to studying. In
its recent rankings, a top spot went to the
University of Wisconsin, which was dubbed
“the best beer-drinking school in the country.” As a counterpoint to this helpful information, HuffingtonPost.com offered a
compendium of the best anti-party schools.
Brigham Young got favorable mention since
it has a policy forbidding students from
drinking, smoking, and having sex. The University of Chicago was also highly regarded,
being “the place where fun goes to die.”
For the next three weeks, Leo, I recommend that you opt for environments that
resemble the latter more than the former.
It’s time for you to get way down to business, cull the activities that distract you
from your main purpose, and cultivate a hell
of a lot of gravitas.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re entering
a phase of your long-term cycle when cultivating abundance is an especially smart
thing to do. To take maximum advantage, I
suggest that you be both extra generous
and extra receptive to generosity. Bestow
more blessings than usual and put yourself
in prime positions to gather in more blessings than usual. I realize that the second
half of this assignment might be a challenge.
You Virgos often feel more comfortable
giving than receiving. But in this case, I
must insist that you attend to both equally.
The giving part won’t work quite right unless the receiving part is in full bloom.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What have you
lost in recent months, Libra? This week begins a phase when will you have the potential to not exactly recover it, but rather to
re-create it on a higher level. Maybe a
dream that seemed to unravel was simply
undergoing a reconfiguration, and now
you’re primed to give it a new and better
form of expression. Maybe a relationship
that went astray was merely dying so it
could get resurrected, with more honesty
and flexibility this time around.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I’m guessing
that you’ve been ushered into a frontier
that affords you no recognizable power
spot. It probably feels uncomfortable, like
you’ve lost the inside track. And now along
comes some wise guy — me — who advises you in his little horoscope column that
you are exactly where you need to be. He
says that this wandering outside the magic
circle is pregnant with possibilities that
could help you make better use of the
magic circle when you get back inside at a
later date. I hope you will heed this wise
guy and, at least for the moment, resist the
temptation to force yourself back into the
heart of the action.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There
used to be a tradition in Sweden that young
women could dream of the person they
would ultimately wed if they put seven
kinds of flowers beneath their pillows on
Midsummer’s Eve. That’s crazy nonsense,
of course. Right? Probably. Although I must
note that two nights ago I placed a gladiolus, hydrangea, lilac, orchid, snapdragon,
tulip, and rose under my pillow, and subsequently dreamed of being visited by the
lily-crowned Goddess of Intimacy, who
asked me to convey a message to you
Sagittarians. She said that if you even just
imagine slipping seven flowers under your
pillow, you will have a dream about what
you should do in order to help your love
life evolve to the next stage of its highest
potential.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Have you
ripened into such a knowledgeable, sophisticated person that you’re hard to surprise?
Do you draw conclusions about each new
experience by comparing it to what has
happened to you in the past? I hope not. I
hope you’re ready to be a wide-eyed,
open-armed, wild-hearted explorer. I hope
you will invite life to blow your mind. In the
days to come, your strongest stance will be
that of an innocent virgin who anticipates an
interesting future. Blessings you can’t imagine will visit you if you’ll excuse yourself
from outdated expectations and irrelevant
complications.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The notorious Wicked Bible was published in 1631.
That wasn’t its original name. It was supposed to be as holy as every Bible. But it
contained an error that slipped by the
proofreaders’ notice: In the book of Exodus, where the Ten Commandments
were listed, the word “not” was excluded from one commandment. What
remained, an insult to pious eyes, was
“Thou shall commit adultery.” Most of
these books were later burned, and the
publisher was punished. Be on the lookout for a comparable flap, Aquarius: a
small omission that could change the
meaning of everything. Ideally, you’ll
spot the error and fix it before it spawns
a brouhaha.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The plant
known as the squirting cucumber has an
unusual talent: When the fruit is ripe, it
opens up and spits out a rapid-fire stream
of seeds that travels a great distance. In
the coming weeks, Pisces, you’ll have resemblances to this aggressive fructifier.
It’ll be prime time to be proactive about
spreading your influence and offering
your special gifts. The world is begging
you to share your creative spirit, preferably with rapid-fire spurts that travel a
great distance.
