Today’s mountain bikes have
more bells and whistles than an

knobs, blue knobs, air valves,
levers, remote controls ... what
about just getting on bike and riding

if you’re fortunate enough to have
suspension on your bike, it’s not
tough to make it work in your
favor. First start with your “sag”.
No, not how much the pad in your
shorts drops after a hot ride. It’s
how much you compress the
shocks just by sitting on the bike.
Shoot for 20 percent to 30 percent
of the total shock “stroke.”
Bottoming out often? Run less

suspension? Try less sag. Adjust
this with a shock pump for air
shocks or by turning the spring
collar on a spring shock. Next,
dial in your rebound - how fast
your shock returns after compression.
Too fast and you’ll be riding
a pogo stick. Too slow and the
shock won’t return in time for the
next impact. What’s ideal? You’ll
only know if you experiment, so
start turning that knob and feeling
the difference. Finally, some of the
higher end shocks have compression
damping, too. Once again,
experimentation will lead you to

Old Bill’s ban
I strongly protest the recent ostracism of
Save Historic Jackson Hole by the
Community Foundation of Jackson Hole,
specifically the shunning of SHJH for daring
to suggest that it was not exactly kosher for the
Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust to
affiliate itself with the for-profit Teton
Meadows Ranch capitalist adventure. Clearly,
Save Historic Jackson Hole’s Housing Trust
position was absolutely correct. Under the
guise of promoting both “affordable” and freemarket
housing, the Housing Trust (purportedly
a non-profit organization) stood to make
millions from the ill-advised and deservedly illfated
Teton Meadows Ranch private development
in the years ahead – by wittingly making
that housing even LESS affordable. Each

Since property values in and around
Jackson Hole are not normally known for
falling, the Housing Trust would make
more and more money every time those
properties were sold in the future – and
help drive housing costs higher and higher.
Not a pretty picture to paint for the valley’s
hard-working, long-suffering working class.
Save Historic Jackson Hole’s unforgiveable
sin was to point out that this particular
emperor was wearing no clothes, a naked
truth that sorely offended the 22 board
members of the Community Foundation.
It was, of course, a petty, ridiculous,
unjustly punitive and counter-productive
action for the CF to have taken, but the
board certainly has the right to deprive
ANY needy non-profit of its publicly raised
funds, if it finds that to be appropriate. In
this case, it was simply not appropriate – a

However, now the natty nabobs of the
Community Foundation (many of whom
have vested interests in the sale and re-sale
of local real estate) have to deal with the
repercussions of their Puritanical pistolwhipping

community might question what individual
board members of the Community
Foundation might have stood to gain from
an approved Teton Meadows Ranch development.
Or perhaps Save Historic Jackson

Has our economic bubble finally popped?
With tourism season in full swing, it seems hard for us
to fully realize the impact of the national economic
downturn being felt by our brethren outside of Paradise.
In Jackson, we still have ‘Help Wanted’ signs on
many retail store and restaurants. Other than Sublette
County, where gas development keeps the cowboys
flush with cash, we have the lowest unemployment
rate in the state at 1.9 percent. And still, the want ads
for the valley have enough opportunity for all of us to
have a second job. Jackson’s housing market took a
dip alongside the rest of the nation’s, but one is still
hard-pressed to find a home for a family of four in
Teton County for less than $1 million.
Gas is close to $4 per gallon, but with our freshly
paved and expanding bike path system, biking to
work is a pleasure, not just a necessity as it is for
other commuters around the country.
But this was the ultimate shocker of how lucky we
really are here: I went to a Comprehensive Plan meeting
last month in Rafter J, where there was free pizza.
Yeah, free pizza. In my career as a journalist, I’ve been
to a lot of zoning and school board meetings from New
Hampshire to Alaska. But I’ve never been offered a
free slice during a local government meeting.
So I was a bit shocked when we heard last week that

to fit the modern music scene. On
Modern Guilt he teams up with
uber-producer Danger Mouse to
keep his craft sounding fresh. The result is a more psychedelic sound
that explodes out of the speakers. Danger brings a hip-hop/electronica
touch to the beats and melodies allowing Beck to duel the music with
his signature croon. The wafting vocals also keep the tracks grounded
so they don’t turn into forgettable club/rave spam. Modern Guilt is

Abortion providers retire across
the West, leaving their posts empty
by Grace Hammond
On a cloudless December night in a small town in South Dakota, Julie
was curled in a ball in a snowdrift, her gloves and hat littered across the
parking lot. She had emptied one whiskey bottle and was working through
the second - enough, she hoped, to end her pregnancy. If it didn’t, she’d
have to try something else.
Julie, which is not her real name, agreed to tell her story but declined
to reveal her identity in order to protect her privacy.
Julie, 21, was single, in debt from the birth of her first son, and working a
desk job at $5.65 an hour. She knew that if she asked for time off - either to
have an abortion or to take care of a newborn - that she would lose her job.
“I couldn’t feed the son I already had,” she said. “So I did what I could do.”
By her estimates, getting to Sioux Falls - some 300 miles away - for a “doctor
abortion” would have cost her $660, including $100 for gas, $60 for a
hotel and $500 for the procedure itself. She would have needed a car, which
she didn’t have, and two days off of work to wait out the state-mandated, 24hour
waiting period. Time and money were resources she simply didn’t have.
Her friend bought the whiskey for her, and Julie took it to the high
school parking lot after putting her 2-year-old to bed.
“I drank [the pregnancy] to death under the basketball hoop,” she said.
“I nearly drank me dead, too. I had to find that balance between it dying
and me dying, you know?”
Her friend took her to the hospital for alcohol poisoning once the
whiskey - and, they figured, the pregnancy - was gone.
“It worked,” Julie said about the incident, now nearly two years behind
her. “I’ve told a few girls it works.”
Empty frontiers
Julie is one of a growing number of women living in the West without an
abortion provider within 100 miles.
Since 1982, the number of abortion providers in the United States has
fallen by 37 percent. Of the remaining practitioners, 57 percent are older
than 50 and are expected to retire within the next decade, according to
Medical Students for Choice, a group founded in 1993 on the belief that
“one of the greatest obstacles to safe abortion today is the absence of
trained providers.”
The ‘graying of the profession’ is already affecting the West, which
struggles with attracting and keeping physicians in its rural areas and has
seen dramatic declines in abortion providers over the past two decades.

One advertised abortion provider
left in Wyoming
At the height of abortion services in the state of Wyoming, from 1981 to
1985, there were eight providers, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a
nonprofit organization for sexual and reproductive health research. About
1,000 abortions a year were performed in Wyoming during that time.
After 1985, provider numbers began to drop as doctors retired but were
not replaced. By 1988, a study found that the majority of women were leaving
Wyoming to procure abortions. This report from the Center for Disease
Control and Prevention showed that while only 188 abortions were performed
in the state that year, 902 women who identified themselves as
Wyoming residents had obtained abortions somewhere in the country.
By 2005, two abortion providers remained in Wyoming, and 70 abortions
were recorded in the state. Now, a single advertised abortion
provider is left: Dr. Brent Blue, a family practitioner at Emerg-A-Care in
Jackson Hole. There may be other Wyoming providers who don’t advertise
their abortion services and limit them to their own patients.
A class of its own
The retiring generation of abortion providers is largely comprised of general
and family practice physicians who were studying or practicing medicine
both before and after Roe v. Wade made abortion legal in the U.S. in 1973.
Many doctors of this era do not consider themselves activists. Rather,
they call themselves ‘community doctors,’ and they consider abortion a
small but integral part of providing full-service medical care.
“As far as I’m concerned, it’s part of a family practice,” Blue said. “It’s
part of medicine. It’s no different from vasectomy services and no different
than delivery services. … It is not a political issue.”
Blue’s clinic in Jackson Hole was bombed in 1995 by Richard Thomas

physicians to provide abortions in Boise, Idaho,
said he is not an upstart by any means.
“I’m not gonna go marchin’,” he said. “I have done
surgery all my life and this is a minor little surgical
procedure. … It’s part of the medical world and somebody’s
got to do it.”
The toll of travel
Even though an estimated 35 percent of U.S. women
will have at least one abortion by age 45, about 87
percent of the nation’s counties currently have no
provider, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
In the Western census region, where Wyoming is
located, 18 percent of women having abortions in
2005 reported traveling more than 50 miles and 5
percent traveled more than 100 miles.
In other Western states, some women report traveling
300 miles or more.
Planned Parenthood’s Wyoming Abortion Fund has
provided more than 200 women with financial assistance,
paid directly to the provider, since its creation
in October 2004. The fund will assist Wyoming residents
with lodging, day care, and travel to other
states, as is often necessary. Another fund, called
Women for Women, also helps Wyoming residents.
An abortion at Emerg-A-Care in Jackson Hole costs
$1,045, cash only, and insurance is not accepted. The
abortion funds in the state may provide $500 in total
toward this cost.
Boas, in Idaho, charges $450 for the procedure.
The Hyde Amendment denies federal Medicaid
funding for abortions except in cases of rape, incest
or life endangerment.
No replacements
Boas, like many Western family practice doctors,
believes that no one will take his place performing
safe, legal abortions when he retires. Just recently,

there were three providers in Idaho. But one retired
last year, Boas is retiring in December and the final
provider “is not really that into doing it,” he said.
Unless there are abortion providers working under
the radar in Idaho - which Boas doubts, based on the
cost of ultrasound and other equipment - it could be
the end of an era for the state.
New medical school graduates don’t want “that bad
connotation” of providing abortion services, he said,
and that’s why there isn’t anyone replacing the retiring
generation - yet.
“Guys like me, I started doing it
when I was about 50,” Boas said.
By then, he was established in the
community and unconcerned
about losing business by providing
abortions to women who wanted
them.
Doctors who are just graduating
from medical school and creating
their practices may more worried
about what people think, he said.
One Western abortion provider,
who asked not to be named, said
that state legal restrictions saddle
the procedure with so many regulations
that some doctors are
wary to become involved, even if
they have no qualms about abortion
itself.
“There is also the issue of reporting terminations,”
the doctor said. “New graduates are going to be more
worried about the laws than maybe us old doctors
are. They think of the law as bigger than it is.”
Wyoming has parental notification laws that require
that the parent of a minor consent before an abortion
can be provided. There have also been repeated
attempts in the Legislature to create a state-written
script that doctors must recite to a patient before performing
the procedure. The script included phrases
medical professionals called “insulting, patronizing
and unscientific,” such as linking abortions to breast
cancer. The bill was most recently defeated in 2007.
Blue just smiled at the idea of a mandated script.
“What I say to a patient is no one’s business but
mine and the patient’s,” he said.
Other doctors are afraid that if they provide abortions
they will be pigeonholed as “abortion doctors”
rather than doctors providing a full range of services.
Some doctors are concerned about being stigmatized
within the medical community, said Sharon
Breitweiser of NARAL Pro-Choice Wyoming.
Other doctors, say anti-abortion groups, simply
think it’s wrong.
Even if abortion remains legal, it
could become inaccessible, said
one provider. If there are enough
barriers placed between a woman
and a doctor, like in Julie’s case,
the two may never connect.
Lack of medical school training
Even if medical students want to be trained in surgical
abortion procedures, some have little opportunity. Between
1978 and 1995, the number of medical programs providing
routine abortion training to residents dropped from 26
percent to 12 percent, according to Guttmacher data.
“Medical schools across the country just are not teaching
the service, so when people are presenting at emergency
rooms … they’re not providing abortion services,”
said Katie Groke, a field manager at Planned Parenthood
of the Rocky Mountains. “They don’t know how.”
It is possible that surgical abortions will decrease as
surgical training opportunities flounder but that med-

ical abortions with RU-486, the so-called
“abortion pill,” will increase in the future,
some medical professionals said.
Medical Students for Choice was
formed in the 1990s to address the
dearth of training, but it has “had trouble
catching on in the West,” where
most doctors are “funneled” to the
University of Washington Medical
School to complete their residencies
and where abortion training is “severely
lacking,” said a member of the group.
Officials at the medical school did not
return calls for comment.
Boas is connected to the organization.
“I go to these meetings that are
nationwide, and you get about 12 to 15
of these kids in training,” he said.
“They’re different now than we are.
Most of them are girls.”
He would be happy to pass his knowledge
along to another Idaho doctor.
“Hell, I could teach somebody to do
one in two days,” he said. “It’s not brain
surgery.”
Few ‘abortion clinics’
As these providers retire, their services
are rarely replaced by ‘abortion
clinics’ in the West, which are defined
as clinics where abortions make up
more than 50 percent of provided
services.
Abortion clinics are typically established
in city centers with dense populations,
which the West lacks. Further,
Planned Parenthood officials said the
pool of abortion providers in some
Western states is too small to provide
enough doctors to operate a clinic.
A few clinics operate without local
doctors. South Dakota’s single abortion
clinic, on the far eastern side of the
state in Sioux Falls, flies doctors in to
provide abortions a few hours a week.
The doctors “have security from the
moment they step into South Dakota
until the moment they leave,” said Kathi
Di Nicola, Director of Media Relations
for the Planned Parenthood clinic.
“They just have to.”
Three out of four doctors are “seasoned,”
said Di Nicola, and one provider,
identified in the media as Dr. Miriam
McCreary from Minneapolis, came out of
retirement just to provide termination
services in a state where none of its own
doctors are willing to do so.
One of the biggest challenges is what
to do next if any of these doctors retire
from the clinic, Di Nicola said. “They
won’t be easy to replace.”
Planned Parenthood’s abortion clinics
aren’t attractive options to medical professionals
like Boas, who defines himself
as a generalist and a community
doctor rather than ‘an abortion doctor.’
“They tried to recruit me to come to
Spokane … but I turned it down,” Boas
said. “That’s itinerant medicine. I don’t
really like it.”
The end of an era
Boas said he believes “we’re seeing
the last days of Roe v. Wade.”
Even if abortion remains legal, it could
become inaccessible, he said. If there
are enough barriers placed between a
woman and a doctor, like in Julie’s case,
the two may never connect.
“These anti-abortionists, they’ll chip
away at it until it will eventually collapse,”
Boas said. “Finally the providers
are going to say, ‘I’ve had enough of
this and I can’t do it anymore.’ I guess
I’m glad I’m retiring.”

Jackson Hole’s own Big Dig
A TUNNEL THROUGH SNOW KING WILL DIVERT TRAFFIC FLOWS.
by Henry Sweets
Skiers navigating
Snow King’s steep
slope this winter may
not realize they are
carving turns on top
of Jackson’s newest
commuter tunnel.
Developers of the 20acre
Pine Glades subdivision,
which will
include 27 luxury condominiums
and 12
affordable housing
units, began digging
this month a tunnel just
west of the ski resort.
The tunnel will be 15
feet high and 26 feet wide and will include a
sidewalk for pedestrian traffic. Once completed
this fall, the tunnel will allow residents
of the planned subdivision to circumvent
existing neighborhoods.
When the development on the parcel
was first proposed, residents of Pine Drive
and Wister Lane expressed concern that
the subdivision would draw through traffic
into their neighborhood. That proposal
was eventually scrapped.
Three years ago, developer Dave Taylor
bought the property and decided to alleviate
traffic concerns by linking the development
directly to Cache Street via a tunnel.
He is building the tunnel at the cost of “a
couple of million” dollars.
Taylor said the tunnel is one of many
“win-win” compromises he engineered
between his development and the neighbors
around it. His development will leave
80 percent of existing trees untouched and
12 acres of open space, he said. Taylor
admitted the unsightly tunnel dig is “not
win-win right at the moment,” but he
assured the construction site would eventually
be returned to its original state,
including the right mix of native grasses.
Although, the tunnel might please some
neighbors, it has become an eyesore and
future ecological concern for others.
“We all need a place to stay, but I think
this is too much,” said Fred Lamming,
who lives on Aspen Drive and is a neighbor
of the future Pine Glades subdivision.
Lamming is an ecological consultant not
associated with the project.
“Sometimes we rely too heavily on technology
and aren’t thinking about the effects
on the ecology down the road” he said.
The new tunnel will enter on the bottom right side
of the construction area, turn uphill and exit on the
top right.
SPENCER SIMENSEN
Lamming said he thought too much disturbance
could throw off groundwater flow and
harm a forest that is already under stress.
Pam Carter, a resident of nearby Pine
Drive, is concerned about potential structural
damage to her home, which is within
a few hundred feet of the dig. She echoed
Lamming’s warning.
“If you mess with Mother Nature too
much, she might not like it,” she said.
Westwood Curtis Excavation is now scraping
about 50,000 cubic yards of earth off the
Snow King slope to depths of between 12
feet and 40 feet below the surface, a project
that should be finished next week, Taylor
said. At that point, a trench will be dug
another 15 feet into the ground to house the
tunnel. Eventually, the site will be restored
to its original grade and reseeded, leaving a
tunnel hidden below the ground, Taylor said.
Snow King owner and director Manuel
Lopez said the project must be finished in
time for snowmaking, which starts around
October 1.
Lopez gave developer Dave Taylor an
easement to build the tunnel underneath his
property for free in exchange for a skier
access on five acres of Pine Glades’ property.
Lopez said that if he ever decides to build
a new ski run to the west of Snow King’s terrain,
Pine Glades’ access will allow skiers a
route back onto the resort. He said there are
currently no plans to cut a new slope.
“The whole concept of a tunnel seemed
to make people uneasy, but as long as the
developer does it correctly and reclaims the
disturbed soils, it shouldn’t have any
impacts on aesthetics or have any practical
impact on the ski area whatsoever,” said
David DeFazio, whose house abuts the
western side of the Pine Glades subdivision.

Al Gore delivered a speech last
week suggesting that U.S. electrical
generation be carbon-free within 10
years. This is a bold move to interject
into a fragmented country in the
midst of a political election. At a time
when some members of Congress
are pushing for further drilling, others,
along with Gore, see we cannot
drill our way out of high gas prices.
Renewable energy is only 2.5 percent
of the U.S. energy portfolio at
this time. Almost half, 49 percent, of
our electrical energy comes from the
burning of coal.
Gore’s challenge appears daunting
at first because much of our electrical
grid does not yet have the infrastructure
to transmit electricity from remote
locations producing solar and wind
energy. Several areas of the country
are working to update their transmission
lines, and many utilities and private
investors are funding wind, solar
and geothermal installations.

In order to reach Gore’s goal of 100
percent renewable energy in 10 years,
conservation must be part of the equation.
If we design and build green
buildings that are either carbon neutral
or at least 50 percent more efficient
than current buildings, we put
less demand on the grid. If we drive
electric, hybrid or biodiesel cars and
fund public transportation to get more
miles to the gallon, our imports of fossil
fuel should decrease. If we fund
jobs in the renewable energy industry,
we can boost a sagging economy that
has suffered from outsourcing and
unemployment.
On an individual level, each of us
has the ability to use the sun and
wind to create negawatts (watts of
electricity that we don’t use). This
could be as simple as drying our
laundry on a clothesline instead of
using the dryer. Or it could be making
the investment in solar or wind for
our homes and businesses.

Famous Finkelstein; you can’t fix ‘stupid’
We’ve been keeping an eye on reviews for Wilson, Wyo. -
author Alexandra Fuller’s latest book, “The Legend of Colton H.
Bryant.” The novel chronicles the real life story of Bryant, a
Wyoming roughneck who was killed on the job. It has the power
to influence readers outside of Wyoming and America.
Take for example the superb write up from Melanie McGrath
in The Scotsman earlier this week: “When Americans feel
uneasy, they turn to westerns. The theory is that the western is a
nostalgic reaffirmation of what makes America great: rugged
individualism, the pioneer spirit and a God-given sense of being
in the right.”
But Scotland readers’ impression of Wyoming will likely be
soured when McGrath delves further into the sad tale. She calls
Wyoming “a state controlled by corporate oil interests” and
Bryant “one of the thousands of semi-skilled grunts or “oilfield
trash laboring in Wyoming’s prodigious oil and gas fields.”

Local urologist Dr.
Lisa Finkelstein has now

Show with Jay Leno twice
more than most of us.
Finkelstein’s latest print
ad was fodder for Jay
Leno’s “Headlines” segment
on Monday. Again!
In January, Finkelstein’s
classic ad, “If you sprinkle
when you tinkle ... come
see Dr. Finkel,” showed up
on Leno’s radar as he lampooned
the ad on national
television. Leno held the newspaper ad to the camera and cracked:
“If you have some problem, and you go to a urologist - maybe it’s
me - I want a mature urologist. I don’t want a jokey urologist. I don’t
want a cute urologist.”
Finkelstein took it all in stride but countered by using the likeness
of Jay Leno in her latest ad, which, incidentally, was censored
by this paper for fear Jay would sic his lawyers on us. The
valley’s other weekly ran the ad and not only did Leno not sue,

New York City papers were abuzz with the arrest of Tammy
Mitchell. Mitchell goes by the name “Jillian” when she’s working
and, judging from the police report, that’s apparently quite often.
The midtown fortuneteller opened a little shop on East 32nd
Street and proceeded to bilk gullible customers out of their
money, promising to rid them of evil spirits.
“The money I gave to Tammy Mitchell was all the money I
had,” Douglas Lonneker said. Lonneker is a former Wall Streeter
and investment manager living in Wilson, Wyo. Lonneker, who
advises people on how to invest their money, handed over a half
million dollars to the bogus black-magic seer. Mitchell told
Lonneker that his Wyoming home had an “evil design.” Lonneker
only balked after Mitchell said she needed another $1 million to
finish the exorcism. He then went undercover for the Manhattan
DA’s office.
“Telling someone on the street that a psychic stole half a million
dollars from me, they’re going to think that you’re a crackpot,”
Lonneker told WABC-TV in NYC. “Tammy Mitchell used
my faith in her for the sole purpose of separating me from my
money. She deserves to go to jail.”
Mitchell was arrested for grand larceny. The ‘Flim-Flam
Ma’am’ was featured as a fraudster in a 2006 segment of ABC’s
“20/20” called “Duped in America: Why We Believe.” She has
faced similar charges in at least four other states.

GTMF swings; Strauss, Mendelssohn; festival musicians’ pieces
“Rock this Town”
On Thursday, July 31, the GTMF invites audiences
to fall into syncopated head-bopping and shoe-tapping
with the Spotlight Concert, “Rock this Town.” The
performance welcomes the tunes of Richard Brown
and the swinging Richard Brown Orchestra, as well as
vocalists Sharon Montgomery, Bob Luna, Tommy
Peters, Rankin Peters and Kelley Peters. The performance
aims to capture the effervescence of swing
music, swirling together sounds of Bobby Darin, Bob
Willis, Brian Setzer and Billy Strayhorn.
“Story Tellers”
Each carefully orchestrated piece of music performed
in the GTMF has a story behind it. Friday and Saturday’s
Festival Orchestra Concert, “Story Tellers” is a selection
of pieces that paint a picture of deeply intriguing
accounts. Conducted by James Gaffigan, the festival
orchestra will tell the tale of “Don Juan” by Strauss.
Later, oboist Robert Atherholdt will perform Vaughn
Williams’ “Oboe Concerto,” while Mendelssohn’s
Symphony No. 3, “Scottish,” will conclude the
evening’s expressive repertoire. Conductor James
Gaffigan said Atherholdt offers a brilliant rendition of
Williams’ “Oboe Concerto.” Gaffigan, a recent graduate
of Rice University, met Atherholdt, a Rice professor,
while attending the school and will reunite with
him for the festival concert.
Mendelssohn’s symphony is another highly anticipated
work of the evening. Gaffigan said it’s one of
the most beautiful pieces the German composer ever
committed to paper.
Inside the Music: Grand Teton Music
Festival Composers
Tuesday, August 5, the Hosted Chamber Music
Concert features William Hill’s trio for violin, horn and
piano and festival bassist Fred Bretschger’s “Suite
Dreams for Chamber Ensemble.”
“He always writes interesting music. [His pieces]
are never a disappointment,” Bretschger said of Hill’s
works.
In contrast with orchestra concerts, chamber performances
feature a smaller ensemble of musicians.
This week’s concert will feature the sounds of three
violinists, two horns, two bassists, a percussionist,
pianist, oboist and bass clarinetist.
Bretschger will be conducting his piece, which was
Meeting the maestro: James Gaffigan
by Robyn Vincent
James Gaffigan is not your typical
conductor. With an impassioned
demeanor and humble, charismatic air,
the maestro’s impressive repertoire
includes working alongside conductor
mastermind Michael Tilson Thomas,
holding the position of associate conductor
of the San Francisco Symphony
and serving as the assistant conductor
of the Cleveland Orchestra. Yet with all
these accomplishments under his belt
- including guest-conducting for a
dizzying list of world-renowned
orchestras - Gaffigan is only 28 years
old.
In a genre of music dominated by
seasoned veterans who have been
meticulously honing their craft for
years, Gaffigan maintains a calm level
of poise and introduces an exciting
essence to orchestra music. Making
his debut at the Grand Teton Music
Festival for the Festival Orchestra
Concert, “The Planets” this weekend,
the maestro said that because of his
fervent take on classical music, his
age doesn’t hinder his conducting or
orchestral relationships. “I think musi-
cians, for the most part, are pretty
open as long as you have something to
say and you’re passionate and clear
with what you want,” Gaffigan said. “I
haven’t had any problems with the
whole age thing - maybe when I first
get up on the podium some of the
musicians are looking at me like, ‘What
does this kid have to offer? We’ve
played this piece more times than he’s
been alive.’ I think it’s just a matter of
being prepared and knowing this is an
open dialogue between orchestra and
conductor - its chamber music on a
much bigger scale.”
Making a slight departure from conducting
classical concerts, Gaffigan
conducted the tumultuous opera “La
Boheme” with the Zurich Opera in
2005. “It was an amazing experience
because it was [performed] without
rehearsal,” Gaffigan explained. “It’s
exciting - there’s something about the
theater that I just love and the excitement
of a production like that. It has
everything the audience wants - drama,
wonderful music, a great plot, and for
me, opera is where it’s at,” he said.
Indeed a love for opera has instigated
for Gaffigan a slight divergence from
Simply Symphonic
NOTES FROM GTMF by ROBYN VINCENT
classical concert
performances,
though its time
consuming
nature prevents
the maestro from
taking on more
than one to two
operas per year.
“I do love opera
more than anything,
but it takes
a lot of your time.
When you’re slated
to do an
opera, it’s two
and half months
of your life - Mr.
Runnicles knows
- it’s a lot of time,
but it is worth it in
the end,” he said.
Conducting
Strauss’ “Don
Juan,” Vaughn
Williams’ “Oboe
Concerto,” and Mendelssohn’s
Symphony No. 3, “Scottish,” for the
GTMF, Gaffigan said he anticipates
playing pieces with the festival’s
written specifically for the festival musicians in attendance.
“It’s a jazzy number. It’s music that could actually
be danced to. It’s got a lot of influences - [you’ll
hear] something bluesy and jazzy and then another
element from a different part of the world will just
weave its way in, maybe African or Latin rhythms or
maybe some kind of exotic Oriental, melodic modes,”
Bretschger said. “There are quite a few surprises in it
– just when you think you’ve got the groove, [the
piece] will do a little shape shifting.”
Chamber Classics Picnic Concert
This week’s Chamber Classics Picnic Concert showcases
Zemlinsky’s “Trio in D Minor, Op. 3,” Britten’s
“Suite No.3 for solo cello” and Brahm’s “Piano Trio No.
3 in C minor.” In his twenty-first appearance with the
festival, clarinetist Thomas LeGrand of the Houston
Symphony performs alongside celloist llse-Mari Lee,
in her thirteenth year with the festival. They are joined
by pianist Scott Holshouser and ninth year festival celloist
Joseph Johnson. Also in attendance is principal
concertmaster of the Osaka Philharmonic Robert
Davidovici on violin and 10-year festival cellist Adam
Satinsky of the Naples Philharmonic.
Conductor James Gaffigan makes his
first appearance for the Grand Teton
Music Festival this weekend.

unprecedented

But the maestro
awaits the
performance
of one work in
particular. “I’m
really looking
forward to
performing
‘Don Juan’ by
Struass. We
joke around in

business
about ‘party
pieces’ - your
favorite works
to perform.
[‘Don Juan’] is
something I’ve
done a lot in
my short
career and I
absolutely
love performing it,” he said. “It’s all
there in the music - there’s love,
there’s grief, there’s passion. It’s really
a roller coaster of a piece.”

began yesterday, July 29, and continues
through Saturday, August 2. “There
are so many new, talented filmmakers
today. It’s wonderful to see the number
of young directors who are creating
[films] compared to 10 years ago. It’s
really exciting,” Wells said.
Screenings will be shown at two locations
in Driggs - the Idaho Film and
Television Institute and the Spud Drive-In
Choice Award for Best Picture at the
Jackson Hole Film Festival, the PG-13
film chronicles the adventures that
ensue when two small town, 12-year-old
boys unknowingly stow an airplane
owned by the mob.
DeVilliers aimed to create a movie that
would entice young and old audiences
alike. “I wanted to make the kind of film
that I would’ve loved to see as a 12line.
“The whole inspiration of the story
is from my experiences as a child playing
around at the airport in Blackfoot.
The film certainly has a history rooted in
this area,” DeVilliers said.
Fashioning the film after an old-school,
adventure flick, DeVilliers commissioned
legendary stunt pilot Skip Evans to perform
all of the real flying stunts. Evan’s
most recent project included stunt flights

Wells said the films’ potent plotlines
evoke valuable messages. “What’s so
important to a film is its story. I think
we need to focus on the story,” she
said. “Our emphasis is family values -
not necessarily all G-rated movies, but
[films that showcase] family issues.”
Dedicated to the filmmaker’s late
grandfather, a well-respected airplane
pilot, “The FlyBoys” manifests DeVilliers’
strong family ties to flying. Growing up
in Twin Falls and Blackfoot, Idaho,
DeVilliers said he occupied himself with
hours of airplane escapades and found

that DeVilliers said Hollywood has
ceased from making, while propagating
a meaningful message of loyalty and
camaraderie to younger audiences.

Hillstomp w/Kelley Peters Trio

HILLSTOMP is infamous
for digging
through the dumps
and forgotten backwoods
of American
music, recycling
traditional elements
into a refreshing and distinctive brand
of do-it-yourself hill country blues stomp. North
Mississippi trance blues, a bit of Appalachia,
and a dash of punkabilly come clanging and
tumbling from assorted buckets, cans and BBQ
lids, all drenched in rambunctious slide guitar.
Somehow it works. Kelley Peters Trio opens.

North side slide(ers)
A few months ago at a community meeting
on the revisions to the Comprehensive
Plan, a planning consultant hired to
advise officials and cull residents’ opinions
recommended that the commercial
area along North Cache Street be … I
believe the word was “revitalized.”
I recalled that remark the other day,
as I looked out from the deck of the
Rustic Inn, a newly renovated hotel and
restaurant that not long ago was among
the divey-er of the valley’s watering
holes, the Log Cabin Saloon.
Where regulars once sat around a low
counter in a smoke filled tavern, there is
now a plush and comfortable barroom,
an airy, refurbished parlor with highbacked
rustic chairs. The log walls are
newly polished; the once low ceiling
now raised to a vault.
Cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon and shots of
Jägermeister and whiskey that formerly
flowed to drunken, sometimes rowdy
patrons have been replaced by martinis
and specialty drinks, a list of domestic and

CRUMBS IN MY ’STACHE
Food news by Ben Cannon

of two in for a long weekend, we winded
down a couple days of ‘sending it’
(my attempts to indoctrinate them to
Jackson vernacular were incessant) in
the park and, equally memorable, in
some fine valley restaurants, including
the new Rustic Bar.
Chef Jonathan Bragg, formerly of
Koshu’s kitchen staff, recently took
helm of the Rustic Bar and was given
the theme “Mediterranean tapas” to
help build a menu.
The results are unexpected but tasty
variations of that theme, which Bragg
married to American western cuisine.
The Uptown Sliders ($11), two small
Kobe beef burgers with melted
Manchego cheese, heirloom tomato
and topped with an herb aioli, were
what a cheeseburger should be – juicy,
a little rich and most of all, tasty.
The Greek Cucumber Salad ($8), with
ribbons of English cucumber, red onion,
grape tomatoes and feta in cider vinaigrette,
was large and refreshing.
Wyoming Public Radio & UW Libraries
Present An Evening With NPR’s
Bragg inherited a menu of flatbreads,
which he has reshaped with additions
like the Wild West ($14) - house-made
bison sausage, roasted red pepper, scallion
and Manchego cheese. I preferred it
to the shaved tenderloin, mushroom and
Maytag blue cheese Cowboy ($14).
Also, garlic sweet potato fries with
truffle aioli ($7), were nearly good
enough to be addictive.
The consultant’s suggestion to
improve, at least aesthetically, the area
along North Cache will probably be
heeded eventually, but not because town
or county planners will outline that vision.
No, the tide of gentrification will eventually
march through, and it will probably
take with it a second-hand store and a
strip mill that has for years housed an
assortment of locally owned business.
But for now, the north end of Jackson
remains a frontier, a place in flux whose
future is yet to be determined. And if, one
day, the Dairy Queen nearby should fall,
who can imagine what might replace it?

Bluegrass camp; Big Easy beats; reggae rhythms
The quality of music
camps in the area continues
to grow stronger and
stronger. The same goes
for the Third Annual
Targhee Bluegrass Music
Camp set for August 5 to 8
at Grand Targhee Resort.
The camp precedes the
21st Annual Targhee
Bluegrass Festival.
Pickin’ and grinnin’ in an
8,000-foot high alpine setting
is just an added bonus
to the camp that features
top-notch instruction from
some of the genre’s finest
performers. This year’s staff includes
songwriting instruction with Grammynominated
artist Darrell Scott, Tony
Trischka (banjo), Rob Ickes (dobro),
Brian Wicklund (mandolin), Tim
Stafford and John Lowell (guitar),
Jeremy Garrett (fiddle), and Eric
Thorin (bass).
“The focus of the camp is equally
split between getting better on your
instrument and ensemble playing,” said
Ben Winship, the camp director.
“There’s a lot of organized and unorganized
jamming in the evenings.”
A typical day at camp includes morning
and afternoon classes on your
instrument, elective workshops, jam
sessions and evening performances. A
majority of students come from the
intermountain West, though this year
there will be two international couples,
making the trek from Spain and
England to study.
And what’s a camp without tradition?
Each year, the entire camp rides the
chair lift to the top of Fred’s Mountain
for a good ole Mountain Top Jam, and
according to Winship, will “sing all of
the mountain songs we can think of.”
They even get to perform one tune at
the festival, jamming tunes alongside
their instructors on the big stage.
Another staple of the week includes the
faculty concert, dubbed the Targhee
Bluegrass Allstars, on Thursday, August
6, at Music on Main in Driggs.
“We were worried that the concert
would be distracting from the camp.”
Winship said. “But the tables are
turned, and we have to figure out what
to play in a loosely organized format
Sesoned musicians offer instruction at Targhee Bluegrass camp.
without much rehearsal.”
The basic fee for the camp is $750,
which includes tuition, meals and lodging,
and is based on sharing a room
with one other student. There are many
other options for commuting students
($425/$550), single room students
($920), and RV campers ($510/$630).
Download the full camp brochure and
FAQ’s at www.grandtarghee.com.
As of press time, there was still room
in most of the classes offered at the
camp, especially in the dobro and bass
classes, but the songwriting class with
Scott is full. The classes will be geared
towards intermediate and advanced
players, so some degree of proficiency
is expected. For more details email
Winship at bluegrasscamp@benwinship.com.

Bringing the spirit of New Orleans’
and their mentors The Meters, Dr. John
and The Neville Brothers with them,
Papa Grows Funk is steeped in planting
Mardi Gras funk. The quintet features
the slinky Hammond B3 and gravelly
vocals of bandleader John “Papa”
Gros, guitarist June Yamagishi, saxophonist
Jason “Big Wind”
Mingledorff, bassist Marc Pero, and
Jeffrey “Jellybean” Alexander, who
replaced Russel Batiste Jr. on the drum
kit in 2005.
Their fourth CD, “Mr. Patterson’s
Hat,” named after a semi-retired auto
mechanic who frequents the band’s
Monday night residency at the Maple
Leaf, debuted at No. 1 on www.jambands.com.
Papa Grows Funk will perform at this
week’s Music on Main Concert Series, 6
p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, July 31, outside
in the Driggs City Center Plaza,
located at 60 South Main Street.
Jackson’s own hard-rocking reggae group
Waist DEEP, led by Peter “Chanman”
Chandler, will deliver a unique set of their
own genre, “ski bum music.” The show is
free and open to the public, though donations
are appreciated. Concertgoers are
encouraged to bring their own chairs and
blankets.
In an effort to keep the music free,
the Teton Valley Foundation is encouraging
concertgoers to buy raffle tickets
to support the series. For a list of raffle
prizes, more information about Teton

Walker shares views at Artlab; The Riddells show at Trio; Kingswood
and Hood at LMC
Travis Walker paints landscapes of Jackson Hole
as seen in the everyday life of a local person riding a
bike, walking down from Snow King mountain or navigating
the streets around town square.
He paints tourists in a shocking-pink evening light
and shadowy trailers in a sea of gold. He paints hills
that are bright lime green or golden on one side and
eerily blue on the other.
But the works in Walker’s show, “Views of
Jackson,” opening this week at Teton Artlab, can’t
be summed up together, because his style has been
changing, and the show spans a period of six years.
Walker’s older paintings show some classic
Jackson Hole landscapes, but he said his work is

becoming less about the token Teton
views that he calls “sentimental,” and
more about the culture that is growing
in the valley and the compelling visual
forces it interacts with.
He has been fascinated by the trailers
and simple structures that occupy
the landscape, so he incorporates
them into his new paintings. Walker
said he was aesthetically drawn toward
buildings, like the old schoolhouse on
Hansen, in certain moments of unique
light and decided to record them.
“There are these periods of the day
when it looks like a bomb went off, and
just illuminated everything really
intensely for a half hour, or an hour,” he
said. But, “it’s not just the light, it’s the
objects that the light interacts with” that interest him.
Walker said it is important for local artists to be
constantly rethinking their western culture instead of
“recycling” the same imagery, like an elk or a Teton
vista or a cowboy, that exists in the town’s art market
today.
As the owner and principle curator of the Teton
Artlab, Walker has represented a
burgeoning stable of local artists
whose work is mostly abstract and
less representational than his own
work. He said that bits and pieces
of influence have made their way
into his work.

themselves in the cultural and physical landscape of
the Tuscan hill towns.
Ed is a photographer; Lee is an oil painter, and their
collection of work from Tuscany, called “Terra
Toscana” marks the first time either artist has included
people, or even evidence of people, in their art.
Usually both artists focus on natural landscapes
but as Ed explained, the natural and human realms in
Tuscany are mutually exclusive.
“Every [Tuscan] landscape has had people working
it for centuries,” he said. “When everything sort of has
a touch of man’s hand, then the trick is to find that
artful blend where man and people have added to the
environment rather than subtracted from it.”
For Ed, this meant taking both candid and posed
portraits, and photographing landscapes with entire
cities in them.
For Lee, it meant making small architectural studies
of light bouncing off stone walls, and flowers cascading
out of window boxes. Lee said she had to learn

‘In the Beginning,’ oil, pencil,
crayon, oil sticks on canvas,
by Ron Kingswood
Unlike other artists who include
images of nature or organic hues to
prompt a meditation about nature, Ron
Kingswood uses rhythmic scratches
and rubs of oil paint and oil sticks on
canvas. His gestures and layering of
marks are orchestrated into powerful
pieces that could engage any viewer.
Barry Hood pours hot glass into
logs. The glass burns the wood and
creates charcoal textures along the
wood’s grain. The final pieces resemble
a human organ or swaddled human
figure. The textures vary, and Hood
adds color in the center of the piece

I might not be the most politically experienced candidate in the race this year,
but I will be the one most dedicated to preserving our remaining open space
here in the valley. With only 3% of Teton County land in private ownership,
there are some here in the valley who want to pave all 3%, using the pretext
“Affordable and/or Employee housing”. I will fight to preserve it!

Kathy Freston walks her talk
“Quantum Wellness” author Kathy Freston incorporates
spiritual practice, physical exercise, conscious
eating, fun, friends and writing books all into a typical
day. Keeping the delicate balance of a healthy lifestyle
while attending to a full calendar of travel and work is
a priority. How does she do it? Find out as she shares
her practical wisdom in an interview with the Planet
Jackson Hole.
Planet Jackson Hole: How do you maintain balance
while you attend to a demanding schedule?
Kathy Freston: I don’t take on so much that my life
becomes unpleasant and uncomfortable. It’s funny,
you can want to have certain success in your life, but
you have to really weigh the sacrifices, and so I really
have chosen to have a career and a life so that I
can be home a lot and spend time with my dog and do
hikes and things like that. And so I say “no” to a lot.
And then my meditation really helps me, even if it’s
just for a few minutes. And that really does get me
very grounded so that I can handle the schedule.
And then lastly, I’m very good at compartmentalizing.
So I won’t think about, “Oh my gosh, I have so much to
do.” I’ll just say, “Okay, well this morning I have an 8:00
a.m. conference call, and I’ll just focus on that right
now.” And then after that, I think about what comes next.
I won’t just let myself feel too terribly overwhelmed.
PJH: What you advocate has really made a difference
in your own life. How did you take those first
steps towards wellness?
KF: Desperation breeds creativity and commitment.
(laughs). I had been reading and studying and going
to workshops with various spiritual teachers through
the years, and so I was well versed on all of these
things. But then when it came to the crises, that’s
when I really learned to apply the wisdom and make it
really practical.
When I hit a really difficult patch in my life – when I
was smoking, my health was very bad, I was in a very
abusive relationship, my finances were dangerously
low – I began to meditate in a very committed way, and
I began to do visualization, not in that magical thinking

way that I wanted to click my
heels and have something different
in my life, but visualizing in a
way that I really wanted to see my
energy going in different patterns.
I started prayer. I started selfwork,
which meant I was journaling,
and I was doing a lot of selfinventory
as per the 12 step program,
just asking myself where I
had not forgiven, where I was
holding on to resentments, what
old wounds were at play here.
And that’s when things really
started to shift for me. Things
healed in my life. My relationship
healed in that I was finally able to
pry myself loose. I found some meaningful work. I
started building real, substantial self-esteem, and that
obviously leads to other good things happening in
your life. I quit smoking and started a great exercise
program, began to write, produce the CDs. So, all of
those tools came into play and really healed my life.
PJH: That’s pretty much what you write about in
“Quantum Wellness,” right? I like that it is described
as a practical and spiritual guide.
KF: Yes, because it’s one thing to get the idea and
to read a book and have those “aha” moments, but if
it’s not applied in a practical way – I know for myself
when I would read those books, it was like “Oh okay,
but now what?”
This book is really about looking at how to really
apply the stuff practically, whether it’s decluttering
your house or doing a mini-meditation or exactly how
to upgrade the way you eat, how to get yourself out of
a sugar cycle.
Rather than just approach one thing like I’m going
to upgrade the way I eat or I’m going to start exercising,
if we can take two or three things at once, they
actually support each other, and the whole is greater
than the sum of its parts.

PJH: And then eventually, you
are going to have a giant leap?
KF: Yes, unforeseen and
unchosen by us, and that’s where
I think I certainly made the mistake,
and I think a lot of people
certainly do in that we want to
choose when the breakthrough
happens. I know when I was
going through one of my very difficult
times, I would say, “Okay
universe, I’ve done my work, now
hand over the miracle.”
I was so frustrated that it wasn’t
happening when I wanted it to
happen. But of course you know,
life is much wiser than we are as
tiny, little individuals. So part of
the process is just doing the footwork, holding the
intention of going in the direction of healing and then
allowing the breakthrough to happen, when it happens.
Trusting the wisdom of life.
PJH: You say that vegan eating is conscious eating.
Can you describe that?
KF: Conscious eating just means to be aware of
where your food comes from and what happened during
the process of how it got to you. So, if I’m going
to eat a plate of chicken and vegetables, I’m going to
really think about where that chicken came from and
what it went through. I’m going to read the books. I’m
going to look at the undercover videos, and then I’m
going to make a conscious decision whether that
adheres to my principles of what’s right or not.
For me, as I became vegan the more I learned, the
more it didn’t align with what my spiritual principles are:
kindness, compassion, alleviating of suffering when I
see it, mercy. These are things that I may not be perfect
at all the time, but I strive to incorporate these principles
into my life. And so with such an elemental level such as
eating, it doesn’t make sense to eat an animal that had
gone through so much fear and pain and suffering. So
that’s why I switched up to a plant-based diet.

34 July 30 - August 5, 2008 l Planet Jackson Hole l www.PlanetJH.com updated daily
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. - Jackson Hole’s struggle to
provide workforce housing took a twist last week when
county and town electeds moved to consider building a
high-density, residential development on National Elk
Refuge land.
Planners at a Comprehensive Plan meeting on
Wednesday unveiled results of a recent survey that
indicated many Teton County residents would support
repurposing southern land of the National Elk Refuge in
order to build deed-restricted affordable housing.
The polling was part of a new plan to cull input from
the valley’s younger working set. County and town officials
have said the lack of input by young people would
have derailed initiatives to identify and build new affordable
developments, but the new polling – using mobile
phones and email addresses – may set the course for a
dense development on the National Elk Refuge.
“These numbers indicate that using just a little bit of
the Elk Refuge – we’re talking 20 acres, at most –
could provide a viable option to house as many as
3,000 people,” said county planner Pete Doherty.
The National Elk Refuge, a 25,000-acre winter feed
ground bordering northern Jackson, is federally managed
public land that disallows any development
HOMEGROWN
News from the county: casseroles and strange herbs
It has been some time since I was back
in my hometown of Corn Cob, Iowa, and
while it certainly isn’t what it was, some
things never change. A friend of mine
recently sent me a stack of newspapers,
straight from the cutting edge of journalism,
full of county news, good and bad.
I see in County Line News that the
police were summoned to the West
Elbowbend Senior Center to quell a disturbance.
The center is located in the back
half of the Gas ’n Go and consists of a coffee
pot, a couple of tables and chairs, and
a bulletin board full of Medicare information
and farm sales. Anyway, Oscar Enboe
and MaryLou Bang were enjoying a cup of
coffee and a cozy chat comparing bloodpressure
pills, when who should appear
but Mrs. Enboe, hollering, “I knew you
were running around with that tramp from
water aerobics!” She took a swing at the
Great Lover while the Tramp hollered back
that if Mrs. Enboe would stop running
around with the Bingo and Mah Jongg
crowd at the Catholic church and stay
home once in a while, maybe her husband
wouldn’t be out running around. The cops
put a stop to the riot before anyone had a
stroke, but worse was yet to come.
A few weeks later, both ladies discovered
the Great Lover cozied up to
Marvell Mundahl, the cashier at Fred’s
Tractor-a-rama. When Marvell discovered
that her aging lothario wasn’t a
widower after all, as he had said, all
three ladies made him wish he were
dead at least. Talk about desperate
housewives, how about enraged housewives
thoroughly pissed.
It says in the Silo City Shopper that
Galloping

Local grandma
speaks out!
Maydeen Moos won first prize at the
County Fair with her gladiolas and flower
arrangements. Maydeen has always had
wonderful flowers and a green thumb. A
few years ago, her son, Lance the Loser,
moved back from California with his girlfriend,
Ephedra, and offered to help his
mother with her gardening. She was so
thrilled that he wasn’t lying on the couch
sucking up food that she said he could
plant an “herb” garden along the back
fence. Lance planted and watered and
weeded and fertilized, and the herb garden
grew and grew and got all green and
leafy and tall and wavy in the breeze.
Actually, it looked a lot like poison ivy, but
FLIPSIDEPlan identifies Refuge for housing
Lance assured his mother that it was a
plant native to California. It soon grew
taller than the fence, and when the neighbors
saw it all green and leafy, they called
the sheriff, who arrested Lance and
Ephedra, dug up the herb garden and told
Maydeen to go back to growing gladiolas.
I guess the moral of the story is that if you
have relatives from California, don’t let
them plant anything in your yard.
In case you think that high society
doesn’t exist out in the county, I see
there was a big wedding recently when
Eva Rae Axilrod married Clyde Lilleboe
in an outdoor wedding at the bride’s
farm. The bride’s sister, Wilma Sue, was
matron of honor and Henrietta Buffington
was bridesmaid. The article does not disclose
that Henrietta is, well, a chicken.
The bride is a great chicken fancier, and
was 4-H Poultry Princess, and Henny is
her pet. She was a good girl during the
ceremony and only clucked a few times.
At the reception she did a chicken dance
on the buffet table, helped herself to a little
wedding cake, ate a fly off the centerpiece,
and to climax her performance,
laid an egg in a salad plate. Not many
bridesmaids can do that.
Well, that’s most of the county news
for now, but there’s a rumor that the
Corn Cob senior center will be offering
belly-dancing lessons; that sounds like
a broken hip to me.
except for a few infrastructural government buildings.
Some have said the 11,000 elk who winter there each
year “do not need” the entire parcel, a treeless
expanse stretching north of Jackson and into the Gros
Ventre range northeast of town.
“Those elk don’t even use all that land nor, dare I say,
do I feel that they even fully appreciate it,” said Jim
Stockyard, a proponent of the plan, at the last hearing.
One wildlife activist cautioned that a residential
development on the refuge could impact the annual
migratory habits of the herd.
“If this plan is to gain any ground,” said Frank
Commonzine, a biologist with Jackson Hole
Conversation Alliance, “we need to make sure the
homes are designed in accordance with a rustic,
Western feel that is acceptable to the animals.” He
added, “This is going to be controversial.”
Neither Teton County nor the Town of Jackson have
jurisdiction over the public land and would have to enter
into talks with the U.S. Department of Interior to negotiate
a possible land purchase for annexation into town.
“This could kill several birds with one stone,” Doherty
said. “Imagine: Trickling Meadows at the National Elk
Refuge. Sounds nice, doesn’t it?”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Work can be hazardous
for the actors who portray cartoon and fairy tale characters
at Disney theme parks. The U.S. Health and Safety
Administration reports that one-third of them have suffered
on-the-job injuries. A prime cause of the mayhem:
kids who kick and punch, sometimes out of misplaced
exuberance and other times out of Lord-of-the-Flies-style
malice. Your assignment this week is to summon the
angelic 85 percent of your inner child to come out and
play. As for the other 15 percent — the part of your inner
child that might be inclined to pummel Mickey Mouse or
headbutt Cinderella: Keep that rascal under wraps.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sometimes hope is an
irrelevant waste of time, even a stupid self-indulgence.
But there is another kind of hope that’s invigorating and
transformative. Let’s say I have a hope that we humans
will reverse the environmental catastrophes we’re perpetrating.
Let’s say that my hope motivates me to live more
sustainably and to inspire others to live more sustainably.
Then my hope is a catalyst. Meditate on these
things, Taurus. It’s a perfect time for you to get very clear
about the two kinds of hope.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Futurist magazine
predicts that by 2025, there’ll be a billion millionaires in
the world. Cosmic tendencies are in place for you to
ensure your prosperity well into the future; now all you
have to do is understand and capitalize on those tendencies.
Here’s a good place to start: Spend some quality
time taking inventory of your financial life and brainstorming
about a 17-year plan to make you a millionaire.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Inflicting pain on yourself
freewill astrology
in order to impress someone or prove a point is never a
good idea, but it’s an especially misguided notion right
now. I wouldn’t object, however, if you did the opposite,
which is to barrage yourself with pleasure in order to
impress someone or prove a point. In my astrological opinion,
it’s a perfect time to intensify your commitment to
making yourself feel good. This is true for many reasons,
but here’s one of the most important ones: It will have a
magically tonic effect on your relationships with others.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I would love to see you walking
down the street dressed in a feathered headdress and
white boots and leopard-print cashmere pants, plus
maybe some scarlet velvet gloves and a silk t-shirt that
says, “You don’t scare me.” To present yourself in such a
bold and forthright manner would be in perfect alignment
with your astrological omens. If that particular form of
expression doesn’t feel right to you, please find an equivalent
that does.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Metaphorically speaking,
you may need some heavy equipment to do all the demolition
work that’s necessary right now. Among the structures
that could be due for destruction: a mental block
you’ve been preserving out of perverse nostalgia; a
prison cell you lock yourself inside on your off days; a
half-built bridge you’re no longer interested in or capable
of completing; a pedestal on which your fallen idol used
to stand; and a door you nailed shut in order to seal yourself
off from a person with whom you still have unfinished
business.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is your best chance in a
long time to meet people you’ve always wanted to meet.
A Sampling of Our Auction Items
6 Night Stay at Coco Plantation on St. Lucia for 6 People
Ben Roth’s “Aspen Grove” Custom-Designed Sculpture
Fly Fishing with Ed Opler, US Fly Fishing Team Captain Emeritus
It’s also a favorable time to turn pretty good connections
into excellent collaborations, and to adjust your role in
your web of alliances so it’s closer to where you want it to
be. None of these fine developments in your social life will
magically unfold on their own, however. You can’t just sit
back passively and hope that cosmic forces will somehow
make them happen.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t just shamble
down to the pizzeria and gobble a slab of greasy cheese,
tomato sauce, and dough. Instead, arrange for an interesting
person who likes you to home-deliver a pizza lovingly
prepared by a gourmet chef. For that matter,
Scorpio, don’t tolerate mediocrity or the lowest common
denominator in any area of your life. The Season of the
Peak Experience is here — a time when you have a
sacred duty to give your best, commune with the highest,
and ask for excellence.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarius,
while it is an excellent time to leave your familiar haunts
and expose yourself to exotic scenes, you should be
acutely discerning about where you go. In my opinion,
you need a sanctuary that simultaneously surprises you
and deepens your sense of being at home in the world.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “You have to love
life when you’re in really deep trouble,” said poet Robin
Blaser. So what about if, on the other hand, you’re in only
shallow trouble? Do you have a mandate to just sort of
like life a little more? Or can you, with a little work, exploit
the mild disturbance that the shallow trouble provides in
order to dramatically pump up your adoration of life? I
hope that your actions in the coming week, Capricorn,

will be a big “yes” in response to that question. I’m happy
to tell you that you can wangle a big boost from a small
inconvenience.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some bars are now
charging fines to people who drunkenly puke on their
floors. I advise you to stay out of such places in the coming
week. Better yet, don’t get so wasted that you hurl
anywhere. It’s one of those rare periods when every little
sin will be quickly punished, when every excess will provoke
an equal and opposite reaction. On the other hand,
this is also a time when even minor eruptions of virtue
will be immediately rewarded, when every brave act and
self-disciplined shift will bring you an opportunity.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Two friends of mine, a
couple engaged to be wed, rode their bicycles for days
up the Northern California coast from San Francisco to
Oregon. They saw many other riders pedaling from north
to south during their trip, but they rarely encountered
anyone heading in the same direction they were. Why?
The wind was blowing against them the entire way.
When they stopped to rest they would sometimes meet
and talk with bicyclists whose destination was San
Francisco. “Why are you riding against the wind?” the
other travelers inevitably wanted to know. My friends
enjoyed replying, “We’re building our characters so we’ll
be strong enough to stay in love after we’re married.”
They’re your role models for the coming weeks, Pisces.
Do some against-the-wind work to prepare yourself for
your next big assignment, which is to make your intimate
relationships more interesting and invigorating
and enduring.
Homework: I dare you to bestow three blessings you’ve never even dreamed of bestowing. Report results to me at FreeWillAstrology.com.
