Morris WeintraubAfter graduating from Ohio University with a masters de-

gree in photojournalism, Morris Weintraub, originally fromMaryland, worked at the Washington Post, producing docu-mentaries for the newspaper’s website. Eventually, he grewweary of the rat race and moved to Jackson nine years ago towork at the Jackson Hole News. He now owns his own photog-raphy business, Imagewell Photography, and shoots wed-dings and family portraits to pay the bills. He travels theglobe during the off seasons to pursue his true passion: docu-mentary photography. This past winter, Weintraub traveled toAfrica and stayed with a Masai tribe in Tanzania. Because thetribe lives within the boundaries of a national park, its mem-bers cannot hunt or grow their own food. Weintraub will beselling and raffling photos from his travels in Rwanda, Tanza-nia and Kenya at the Center for the Arts on Sept 1. One hun-dred percent of the proceeds will be used to help buyfarmland for the Masai tribe just outside the park boundariesso they can live sustainably.

Aliens and CowboysR.T. Cox, Wyofile.com

T H E S A G E G R O U S E

We make up movies showing aliens as crafty, cun-ning or just plain brutal invaders, with plots alwaysreaching a nasty, evidently inevitable, horrifying mo-ment when all human life is about to be snuffed out.Then we gin up some oddball societal faction as thecommunity-building, self-sacrificing, clever antidotewhich smashes the invaders into oblivion, welding adiverse society into a, well, community.

No one asks what happens during the next roundwhen the aliens, possessing superior intelligence andtechnology, learn from their mistake of underesti-mating their opponents and return to make us intothe equivalent of a terrestrial ant colony.

Tea Party 2010 Majorities versus Obama 2008 Elec-toral Mandate Democrats debates won’t mattermuch in that context.

Dang it, say readers. We wanted some respite fromthe unrelenting debates about whether the Republi-cans should geld the economy in the name of guttingbig government or the Democrats should stick totheir probably outdated 2008 mandate to create jobs.We are tired of hearing about our retirement savingsmelting down again. We wanted some pure sciencefiction. And now The Sage Grouse, on the verge of agood alien story, yanks us back into reality.

Reality? What part of theBoehner/Cantor/Reid/McConnell/Pelosi debates re-sembles “reality?” Oh, sorry, I was not thinking. TVhas been bringing us “reality shows” for 10 years orso, where we get to watch non-union actors breakdown, yell, eat worms, cry, throw punches and trash-talk for non-union wages, which is billed and con-sumed as entertainment.

I personally don’t care so much about the unionpart; it’s just a lot cheaper for TV producers to paynon-union cameramen to film amateurs emoting

and whining than to pay union screen writers andactors to make sitcoms or good drama.

The proliferation of “reality” programming hascreated expectations among the general public thathair-pulling, betrayal of loyalty, treachery and trash-talking are acceptable parts of prime-time, and there-fore, societal, behavior. Mix in some anti-Obamasentiment, a generous dose of anti-government bias,some bad taste and bad hair (Michele Bachmann, re-ally, get to Fantastic Sams), and this beats the tar outof cheap reality TV. Survivor? Who will it be? Obama,Boehner, Cantor?

I’m afraid to hit the morning coffee-shop circuit,where rejoicing in hair-pulling may be the favoreddaily theme. The gym, where everyone is sweatingand grunting, is a much better venue for startingthe day.

This is an age of multiple TV news channels,tweeting and instant pocket devices of many colors(bringing to mind Biblical references — after all, Iam a preacher’s kid — like Joseph’s coat or theTower of Babel. So let’s layer immediate gratifica-tion on top of Cowboys Whip Aliens on top of WeHate Government. Who the hell can tell fictionfrom reality at this point?

The governments of Iran and North Korea, usuallythe trendsetters in the definition of venal politics,must be amused that our Congress contrived a deci-sion-aversive solution to increasing the debt limit tomatch the already-authorized spending. The Saudismust be laughing in their harems. The Chinese areremonstrating: Why should we invest in AmericanTreasury bonds?

If we need the cowboys to whip this mess, let’sgo find them. Hello? Senators Enzi and Barrasso?Cynthia?

Turley’s wrongI must voice strong disagreement with Councilmember Melissa Turley’s

critique of Thai Me Up and Jeremy Tofte. I have known Jeremy Tofte for anumber of years both before he sold Thai Me Up and after he had to takethe restaurant back.

Thai Me Up has always been a restaurant first. In fact Jeremy Tofte suc-ceeded in a location where the rib business could not.

I am involved in a number of local charities. I have requested gift certifi-cates for a number of charitable events through the years from JeremyTofte. He has donated to Ducks Unlimited and other charities I have re-quested donations for. He has also assisted PAWS, Teton Mentoring Proj-ect, the Rotary Club and Vertical Harvest. Certainly he has given his time,treasure and talent. At the same time I do not see Councilmember MelissaTurley’s name on many donor lists. Councilmembers are paid for theirservice. This is not a pro bono service to the Town of Jackson. I do chal-lenge Councilmember Turley to support more local charities if she is goingto challenge any small business owner on community service and charita-ble giving.

As a small business owner for more than 30 years, we receive solicita-tions and requests for donations many times each year. I encourage Coun-cilmember Turley to pony up with the rest of us.

– Frank Bellinghiere, Jackson

A market free from state interventionOver the past few days, I have had dozens of locals express dismay and

shock about the recent retail liquor license affair. What ever your opinionmight be, let’s go ahead and take this burden and pressure off of the TownCouncil members. They cannot be experts in every field, nor do they havea crystal ball to make the best decisions for this town’s future. I believethe real problem is with the state laws that base retail liquor licenses onlocal population. These same laws also group both a bar and a packageliquor store into the same retail liquor license. Wyoming liquor laws areanti-competitive laws dating from the 1930s.

Competition is good – it makes everyone better. Competition bringsnew ideas and new innovations. In the past 10 years, it seems that some ofthese retail licenses have been awarded to prevent competition. For thatreason alone, to fully utilize and realize our downtown, we need to getthese archaic laws changed.

Teton Village has been investing tens of millions of dollars in its masterplan. As the Village grows, will downtown Jackson still be relevant? To betruly successful you must be able to reinvent yourself. So what can we doto stay competitive? The economic commitment for a small business tostay open into the evening can seem daunting in the short term, but moredowntown shops open later would be a simple start to reinventing down-town. If not retail shops, then what other shops stay open late? Bars havea tendency to stay open late. Still, just opening a new bar or staying openlater will not guarantee success. One could argue that more bars down-town will just take money away from the other bars and not actually in-crease sales tax revenue. I believe that if done correctly, new bars willcreate new revenue streams for the downtown. Giving people more op-tions and diversity will make downtown more exciting and will bring morepeople in from not only Jackson, but from around the region as well.

For my fellow citizens who want to see more watering hole optionsdowntown, talk to your elected officials and ask them how a retail liquorlicense ever became worth $500,000 in the first place, and then ask howyou can get one. I think there should be a license for a bar to operate as abar and another license for a liquor store to operate as a liquor store.Also, I do not believe that the number of these licenses available should bebased on population, unless of course we can count the 3.5 milliontourists that come here every year.

Thank you Jackson for your continued support – we cannot do it with-out you. Here are the contacts for our elected officials: Keith Gingery,[email protected]; Ruth Ann Petroff, [email protected]; JimRoscoe, [email protected].

Is it time to modernize the liquor laws? I think so.– Jeremy Tofte, owner, Thai Me Up

L E T T E R S

The conditions on the Grand Teton (13,770 feet) are just about as good as they get right now. Although,there are still a lot of remnants of snow left from the huge winter of 2010-2011, it is possible to avoid most of

it when descending off the summit. Not wanting to get stuck in afternoon thunderstorms, we left the Lupine Parking in the dark. The hike up

into Garnett Canyon, and up to the Lower Saddle took about five hours at a comfortable pace. Then thehike/scramble up to the base of Wall Street took another couple hours in the fading darkness. I love getting onto

Wall Street, and always think of Glen Exum’s first ascent, and his infamous jump across at the exposed end of theledge. Another two hours got us up through the gullies, over The Friction Pitch (5.6), and finally into the morning

sun near the summit. Up over The Highest Boulder Problem in The Sky gained access to the summit ridge, and we scrambled to the top.

The views down the East Face are always my favorite, as we took our long awaited rest in the sun. Descent is down the slabs of the West Face, and over to the Chimneys, which we down-climbed. The standard 80-

foot two-rope rappel was people-free, which is rare these days. Taking our time down from the Upper Saddle, passingmany people, we down-climbed down the Idaho Express gully, and got back to the Lower Saddle in about two hours.

Booze, market movementIn last week’s Weekly, both Matthew Irwin and Benjamin Bombard

voiced their opinion that Thai Me Up should have gotten retailliquor license instead of Vom Fass [“Local biz Thai-ed down,” “Scru-tinizing boozey decisions,” August 10] Bombard suggested Vom Fass“exploits the ignorance of out-of-towners,” while Irwin said theowner of Thai Me Up “accepted my repeated offers to dialogueabout the news and views in this paper.” Not to put too fine of apoint on it, but at one time or another both Irwin and Bombard wereignorant out-of-towners.

I am not a “20- and 30-something employed as [an] artist,” so Idon’t fit what Bombard claims is Thai Me Up’s preferred patron’sdemographic. However, I have eaten at Thai Me Up when it hosted aparty for the Teton Mentor Project (showing some commitment tothe community, despite Councilwoman Melissa Turley’s assertionotherwise) and it kept the chow coming until I was full, no small ac-complishment.

A letter to the editor in the News&Guide [“Trail ride,” August 10],mentions Bernanke and Greenspan on a donkey, the “Democraticsymbol.” Of course, Greenspan and Bernanke are both Republicans,both first appointed chairman of the Federal Reserve by Republicanpresidents Reagan and Bush II, respectively. Both Reagan and BushII, despite their claims of fiscal conservatism, massively increasedthe federal deficit. Not to worry though, there is plenty of blame togo around for our economic woes, and when we point a finger wehave three pointed at ourselves, (columnists excluded, of course).The Republicans love to spend and won’t end tax breaks for the rich;the Democrats love to spend and don’t want to reform entitlements.

Coincidently on August 8, the Dow Jones Industrial Average wasdown more than 600 points, a trillion dollar total loss on world mar-kets. (I used a value of $1,577,000 per DJIA point to reflect the aver-age movement of other exchanges and averages. I chose this numberby stopping by News&Guide economics columnist JonathanSchechter’s house; after a drinking few beers, he let me use his dartboard.) The next day, the market was up 429. On Wednesday itdropped 520 points, was up 423 on Thursday, and up 125 on Friday.Free markets are not efficient; they rise because of greed, fall be-cause of fear. Lately, concerns of politician’s inability to remove theirheads from their asses seem to be driving the market. Maybe itwould help if Irwin dialogued with them.

The Jackson Hole Police De-partment has seen a sharp in-crease in tagging and graffiti inJackson since the beginning ofJuly, according to Detective-Sergeant Cole Nethercott.

Much of the new graffiti ap-pearing around town – aboutwhich law enforcement is partic-ularly concerned – appears to bethe work of a single vandal. Butan extensive graffiti spree thenight of August 9 raised thehackles of property owners andlocal law enforcement. But anextensive graffiti spree the nightof August 9 raised the hackles ofproperty owners and local lawenforcement.

When the sun rose on the Vir-ginian Lodge and RV Resort themorning of August 10, about 40vehicles bore graffiti. The van-dals appear to have focusedtheir efforts on the north row ofvehicles in the RV resort as wellas vehicles parked on the east-ern side of the lodge.

Linda Oda, an employee at theRV resort, said there were no re-ports of noise the night of thegraffiti spree, a fact that surprisedher. “[The vandals] were walkingon gravel, so you’d think peoplemight have heard something,”she said. After the graffiti was dis-covered, visitors said they heardsome sounds the night before,but they figured it was just peo-ple coming home late from work.

Nethercott suspects the graffitispree may have been perpetratedby a group of people—possiblyteenagers, and possibly visi-tors—who joined up for a nightof reckless fun and vandalism.On the window of a Ford Mus-tang parked in the area, the van-dals drew a cartoonish man witha mullet, sunglasses and aspeech balloon saying, “Yeahdude, I drive a ‘stang.”

The vandals also defaced aSTART bus. They wrote and drew

all over the vehicle in bright pastelcolors, sketching dinosaurs, crea-tures and cartoony characters.

Oda said victims of the graffitispree were “kind of upset,” butnot all that angry; they likelywould have been angrier if thevandals had keyed people’s carsor if the graffiti were not so eas-ily removed. The graffiti paintedAugust 10, Nethercott said, wasprobably drawn with water-based ink, making it fairly easyto remove. Management at theVirginian Lodge sent an em-ployee around the grounds toscrub graffiti off of vehicles.

The Jackson Hole Police De-partment would like to trackdown the individuals responsi-ble for the graffiti around theVirginian, but Nethercott sayshe’s more concerned with thewidespread tagging by an indi-vidual who uses the letters“VSA” and sometimes “VSAx” ashis calling card.

Nethercott said the taggerbegan hitting up buildings, al-leyways and utility boxes aroundJackson in July. He referred tothe tagger as a male operatingon his own, however Nethercottconfirmed the department doesnot have any suspects in mind.He said the tagger often spraypaints his mark in places whereit will be easily noticed. And un-like the perpetrators of the Au-gust graffiti spree, this vandaluses permanent paint—oftenblue or purple—making it sub-stantially more difficult for vic-tims to restore their property toits original state after he hastagged it.

“What he’s doing is definitelymore destructive,” Nethercottsaid. “Fixing what he’s beendoing is running into the thou-sands of dollars.”

The Town of Jackson removesor paints over graffiti on prop-erty it owns, but private ownersare financially responsible forcleaning up graffiti on their

property.While graffiti and tagging may

go largely unnoticed in largercommunities where they are soubiquitous that they become apart of the scenery—as commonand visually pedestrian as busi-ness banners or traffic signs—they are much moreconspicuous in a relatively smalland rural community such asJackson.

“A lot of places are overrunwith it, and they have higher pri-orities there than cleaning upevery piece of graffiti,” Nether-cott said. “In smaller communi-ties like Jackson where it doesn’thappen all that much, it gets alot more attention.”

And attention, Nethercott be-lieves, is all the “VSA” tagger islooking for.

“I don’t think he’s doing it forart. I think he just wants to getrecognition,” Nethercott said.

Nethercott said his depart-ment has busted graffiti artistsand taggers in the past. Typically,graffiti activity that appears tobe the work of a single personwill simply cease, leadingNethercott to believe the perpe-trators were temporary residentswho eventually moved away.Given how recently the “VSA”tags began showing up, Nether-cott suspects the vandal is a re-cent transplant to Jackson.

“There are two ways this willend,” Nethercott said of the re-cent surge in tagging. “Either theguy will leave or we’ll catch him.”

Given the distinct styles of theAug. 10 graffiti spree and the on-going tagging, Nethercott doesnot believe the two offenses arelinked. Chief of Police Todd Smithsaid he doubts the “VAS” taggerand the spree vandals are linkedto the repeated vandalizations ofthe Phil Baux Park boulders.

The JHPD does not have sus-pects in either the Aug. 10 graffitispree or this summer’s rash oftaggings.


Costly, unwanted ‘art’

Props&DissesSlabs of public art

This week, the Jackson Hole Public Art Initiative sought ap-proval from the Mayor and Town Council to install threeconcrete slabs around town for display of public art. Overthe past few decades, online databases have been created

to keep track of public art around the world. The concept offree, public art is on the rise for a number of darn good reasons.

From large metropolises to small rural towns, public art makes itself ac-cessible to all people, whether locals or just passing through. Bottom line,people like free stuff, but here’s the bonus: public art installations aren’tyour regular old grab bag, but a cultural and educational experience onecan thoroughly enjoy while outside.

This is only the beginning. Public art generates cash for the town it re-sides in. “The Gates” in Central Park is said to have generated $254 mil-lion in economic impact throughout its years on display. While Jacksonisn’t New York City, we are sure to reap economic benefits from a publicart walk between and around the three works.

“The exhibition will increase cultural tourism and animate public spaceall year round,” states the Art Initiative’s proposal. The Town Council alsohas an initiative of its own called ‘Town is Heart of Region’ aligning per-fectly with the movement for public art here in Jackson. According to thetown’s philosophy, “Public spaces are the building blocks of vital completeneighborhoods.” Art elevates the imagination, engages the mind, and asksquestions of the passer-by creating a space everyone can participate in.

The concrete slabs will be adorned with professionally curated, mu-seum quality works of art for 12 to 18 months and then changed over. Thelocations of the slabs has yet to be decided but stay tuned as the TownCouncil and the Art Initiative crew hash it out over the next few weeks.

Help’s out there for Wyoming’s obeseAccording to the U.S. Department of Health and Human

Services, one in four children in Wyoming is overweight orobese. In fact, the rate of obesity in children is risingthroughout the United States. So why the prop? Well, wordabout the state’s obesity is out, and now kids across Wyominghave the opportunity to apply for a UnitedHealth HEROES grant madepossible by United Healthcare. The program has a two-pronged effect: Itis designed to help fight obesity by designing programs and implementingthem within their communities, and it promotes an active, service-learn-

ing based environment. The studentmust take the initiative to apply andfollow through with the implementa-tion of their plan for their peers andcommunity. Grants of up to $1,000dollars will be awarded to differentschools and community centers thatdemonstrate a comprehensive under-standing of the negative effects of obe-sity and creative solutions to thepresent problem.

Kicking off the fourth year, Youth Service America and UnitedHealth-care are calling all “Health Heroes” to apply for 2012 UnitedHealth HE-ROES grants. To obtain an application, visit ysa.org/heroes. Applicationsmust be submitted online before midnight, Oct. 17. Grant recipients willbe notified in December and January.

Where have all the mules gone?The National Wildlife Federation recently reported a

30-year decline in mule deer population around northernColorado and Wyoming. The NWF’s newly retired re-gional executive director, Steve Torbit, expressed his concernfor the sliding number of mule deer and used a rubber band analogy to as-sist people in understanding the stress placed upon the species. The rub-ber band symbolizes a deer’s capacity to endure different types of stress.No longer is there a single stressor—drought, for instance—but manycoming from all different angles such as energy development, loss ofprime habitat, and weather. Furthermore, the rates of recruitment, or thecoming of age of a young deer, have fallen drastically as well. The rubberband is threatening to snap.

The irony of it all lies in one of the main discussion points revolvingaround the possible disappearance of themule deer: how do we keep it around sowe can kill it? In 1987, hunters harvested1,200 mule deer. More than 20 yearslater, the kill count doesn’t exceed 50. So,whether an outdoor enthusiast who longsto watch plenty of deer jaunt through thegolden fields or a hunter wanting to bringhome the goods, be aware of the muledeer’s tightly stretched rubber band. Ournatural environment is heating up enough

and although developers may argue wildlife still flourishes, Torbit and theNational Wildlife Federation believe otherwise.

Within one week after fertilization, the new life

implants in the lining of the mother’s womb.

Although receiving nourishment there, the baby

is genetically unique and biologically separate

from her or his mother.

The “morning after pill” might or might not

prevent fertilization. If fertilization does occur,

however, the pills will have hardened the lining

of the womb, so when the tiny week-old human

embryo reaches the womb, she or he cannot

attach to the lining. That is an abortion, because

Maybe the last folks to get cluedin to who Keegan Bradley is are thegolfing analysts and experts doingcolor commentary on TV who keptsaying things like: “Who IS this guy?”Jackson Holers have known forsome time Bradley is the son ofMark Bradley, the resident golf proat JH Golf & Tennis, and the nephewof famed LPGA star Pat Bradley.

CBS commentators mentionedthe Jackson Hole connection duringthe final tense moments of theBradley-Dufner three-hole playoff.According to the Boston Globe, dad,Mark considered hopping a flightfrom Jackson Hole to Atlanta to bethere when Keegan won his firstmajor in his first try but obligationsat our local course kept him home.

While Keegan spent most of hischildhood in Vermont – and isoften introduced and billed as aNew Englander – he spent threesummers in the valley while at-tending St. John’s from 2005-07.Keegan won the Wyoming StateAmateur Championship in RockSprings in 2006, finishing second in2005. Bradley won the WyomingMatch Play Championship in 2007at 3 Crowns in Casper.

The Wright stuffSometimes cowgirl-sometimes

freeskier Crystal Wright owned thecompetition at the Red Bull Powder

Disorder in Las Leñas, Argentina,topping women with a 29.47 score.

Conditions at the invite-only2011-12 Subaru Freeskiing WorldTour were so bad that officials calledoff day two of the competition,prompting Wright to tell ESPN shewas psyched to win but bummedshe didn’t get to tackle Eduardo’s,the 2,000-vertical-foot face, a secondtime. Tough chick.

The write stuffPlenty of travelogue writers and

tourist bloggers have drained a fewink drums on Jackson Hole and,quite frankly, we never get tired ofreading about ourselves. But authorBenjamin Percy turned in such aprosaic piece for the Wall Street Jour-nal last weekend we were blownaway.

“Places like Jackson Hole, Wyo.,are the reason people play Power-ball: the jagged snarl of the Tetonmountains, the silver coil of theSnake River. The elk bugling fromhillsides, the rainbow trout flashingthrough streams. The cowboy cul-ture. And at the heart of it all, thetown of Jackson, with its splinteryboardwalks and elk-horn sculp-tures, hilltop spas and gourmet cui-sine. Everyone wants to live here,but few can afford the iron-and-timber mansions that roost on thehillsides.”Color us impressed.

Rangers to the rescueNumerous regional publications

ran the “With 27 major rescues so farthis year, Grand Teton National Parknears record set in 2000” headlineMonday. GTNP spokesperson JackieSkaggs told the Casper-Star Tribunethat the park usually sees 17 to 20major rescues a year. There havebeen 27 major rescues in GTNP sofar this year. The record is 30.

Park officials consider any rescueoperation that costs more than $500to be major.

Four people have died in GrandTeton this year. The latest rescue in-volving a 21-year-old Detroitwoman was also covered in the De-troit News where Skaggs told re-porter Jennifer Chambers that LauraMason glissaded herself into a boul-der field probably because of herlack of experience and judgment.

“They were quite a bit off coursefrom what their intention was,” Sk-aggs said. Skaggs added that Masonhad very little experience as aclimber and lacked a helmet andcrampons — climbing boots withmetal picks for traction — duringher descent.

“It’s not something anyone withexperience would choose to do,”Skaggs said of the descent downNez Perce.

If Jackson Hole, Wyo. isn’t the biggest joke goingin Chugwater yet, we certainly are now. Once newshits down at Hortons Corner that the Jackson TownCouncil just ordered Parks & Rec to build some hip-pie climber a $12,000 tightrope so he could ‘slack-line’ they’re going to be spittin’ up bison chili andSaltines all over their overalls laughing.

‘Slacklining,’ for 99 percent of the populationthat doesn’t know, is the uber-niche sport of walk-ing a loosely tethered line between to fixed points.Like most hippie climber sports, there is no winneror loser, just losers. ‘Slacklining’ is yesteryear’stether ball (remember that?) and today’s ‘planking’(Google it). A fickle fad like Hacky Sack, Rubik’sCube, and Slinky – bygone relics of a past litteredwith antiques Americans with more idle time thansense once amused themselves with.

Peter Hudnut pestered the Council for months tomake his dream come true. Initially, the esteemedpanel did what they usually do when forced tothink about something frivolous or daunting: theyput it off with tablings and continuings, hopingHudnut would just forget about it or the next crazewould hit and he would be on to something elselike Silly Putty or Lawn Darts.

But Hudnut persisted, driven by the fact that hecould not simply tie a rope between two trees andhave at it, thanks to an obscure Town ordinancewhich made the practice illegal. It seems our fore-fathers anticipated future slackers and had thegood sense to outlaw such behavior nearly a cen-tury ago. Actually, the law was designed to keep

cowboys from tying their horses to anything thatdidn’t move while they knocked the dust down atthe local saloon.

The Council asked Parks & Rec guru Steve Ash-worth to look into the matter and Ashworth madethe mistake of running it by an engineer, who isever on the lookout to recoup the gobs of tuitionmoney they spent on their fancy institutions. Bythe time the numbers got crunched, Ashworth saidhe was pretty sure he could put two wooden polesin the ground for a mere six grand a pop. Steelwould be more.

“You’re overbuilding this,” Mark Orbinger argued.“I’m surprised you have to have an engineer for

this,” Mayor Mark Barron said.Town Administrator Bob McLaurin piped in. “It’s

a risk-management issue; she’s busy enough,” hesaid, pointing at the Town attorney.

Ashworth said the Parks & Rec board, too, weremost worried about safety.

If a rope strung out between two trees is a poten-tial hazard, what are monkey bars considered?

“Do you have $12,000 in your budget?” Barronasked Ashworth.

“Nope,” Ashworth answered.The Council commanded Parks & Rec to con-

struct ‘tomorrow’s horse shoe pit’ in Phil Bauxpark under the condition that they try to keep arope tied to two posts to $8,000. Ashworth wasalso instructed to see if the County had themoney for it. Councilman Obringer was the soledissenter.

Justin Clenard paddles through the glassy waters of the South Forkof the Snake River, his gleaming turquoise eyes and calm demeanorhardly revealing the hell he has been through. His strong hands andpatient temperament are a stark contrast to the “controlled chaos”he was part of in Ramadi, Iraq, and Now Zad, Afghanistan. He beganas a machine gunner in the Marines infantry and later moved up tosquad leader and stand-in section leader, responsible for 13 men ina rifle squad. He lost his left leg below the knee and his right legabove the knee from an improvised explosive device. A 25-year-oldveteran, Clenard is one of seven young vets on the river with Riversof Recovery, a national recreational rehabilitation program thatlaunched a division in Jackson this year. Also on the water: ROR’sfounder, Dan Cook, a medical research student, and me.

Three-year-old ROR serves more than 200 vets a year. The pro-gram attempts to parallel the physical and psychological recoveryprocess that injured combat vets go through with the movement ofwater. Similar to Outward Bound, ROR seeks a kind of ‘flow experi-ence’ to help vets lose track of time and tame their hyper-vigilance,one of the myriad health issues they face, by providing an all-con-suming activity that demands close attention to detail. “Everythinghas to be perfect, every knot you tie, every line you throw, the color,the size, the precision, the cast,” Clenard said. “It’s very methodi-cal, just like strapping magazines down before combat … you haveto read the water and look for fish.”

“Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.” – Henry David Thoreau

Medals of moraleWalking into ROR camp at East Table, a riverside

campground in Alpine Canyon, I notice how peaceful itis. Because the program encourages vets to talk and in-teract in a meaningful way, the camp is even devoid ofmusic. A welcome canopy of American flags and bal-loons greets us, and the trip coordinator briefs the vetson the mission so they know exactly what to expect.Dinner consists of chicken and slow-roasted lamb,while the vets enjoy the campfire and play the beanbagtoss game, cornhole, on the lawn. Five tents sit alongthe rushing Snake River. Camaraderie is the theme.

All the vets are fresh off the plane – they hail fromCalifornia, Florida, North Carolina and WashingtonD.C. They are in their mid-20s, and two are physicallyinjured – one has a service dog with him. Besides onevet on crutches, it’s not obvious that these young menhave recently left combat zones. “You have to havesomething traumatic happen to reaffirm it all,” saidJaime Henderson. Henderson spent seven years in theArmy, and believes that a program like ROR is here tohelp him regain his sense of confidence.

The river trip starts early the next morning with cof-fee and eggs. The vets receive their itineraries. And atthe put-in at Palisades Dam, Cook gives each vet an in-dividual ROR medallion – much like the challengecoins that soldiers receive to identify the platoon orregimen to which they belong. The medallions – deco-rated with stars and stripes on one side and a rainbowtrout on the other – represent brotherhood andmorale, Cook said.

On a six-hour day-trip down the South Fork the nextmorning, we are all comrades engaging in fly-tying,fly-fishing, and becoming one with nature relaxing to-gether. “I feel comfortable in this environment,” Cle-nard said, “like I don’t have to explain myself toanyone.”

We pocket our gold coins, and board the whitewa-ter dories and drift boats, with the silence and orderof a well-planned military operation. Due to an epi-

cally high snowpack this year, the rivers have alsobeen running high and fast. The river runs at 15,400cubic-feet per second, down from the summer peakof around 18,000 cfs. It’s the end of July; the SnakeRiver is finally fishable.

Aftermath of warDallas Bragg is excited to catch fish. He served four

years in the Marines, and five in the Army. Over eggsand bacon, he tells me that he wouldn’t have comewithout Frida, a service dog he’s had for five monthsthat has helped him deal with post-traumatic stress dis-order and traumatic brain injury.

Three-hundred-thousand vets suffer from post-trau-matic stress disorder, and 20 percent of returning mili-tary personnel are haunted by nightmares,sleeplessness, hyper-vigilance, distancing from others,stress, flashbacks, anxiety, and depression, according toVets Prevail, an organization that offers a confidentialapproach to treating combat and deployment effectssuch as PTSD, depression and anxiety.

ROR’s goal is to help vets reintegrate into society inmeaningful ways. In addition to the float itself, the pro-gram uses therapies like yoga and breathing tech-niques to limit dependency on painkillers andanti-anxiety drugs.

Each morning, the groups stand in the circle andfocus on deep breathing. Amy Simon, a hatha yoga andbreathing therapist who also acts as a program coordi-nator, practices simple stretches with the vets that relateto casting, fly-fishing, and balancing on the boat. “Yogadoesn’t ask you what’s wrong with you. It asks you tobe,” Simon said.

Bragg now runs his own nonprofit in Maryland,which is how he came across ROR. More veterans, Braggsaid, need this kind of experience. “If they could findout easier … if we could make them realize they arenot condemned to the house because they have aninjury,” Bragg said, then more veterans could heal.“I believe it works,” he said.

Beyond the catchWhile Jackson Hole has been called “cutthroat

country,” a draw to “thousands of fly-fishing fanatics… each summer” in Jackson Hole Traveler, this isn’tthe reason Rivers of Recovery came to the valley. RORstaff believes in rehabilitation: “Catching the fish isnot the most important thing,” Cook said. “It’s the ex-perience and the mission to feel whole again.”

Cook, a former Wall Street currency trader,founded ROR in 2008, inspired by his brother, Steve,who lost his foot and lower leg when he fell into a agrain auger pit in a farming accident in 1988. His firstoutdoor activity after leaving the hospital was fly-fishing on Glacier National Park’s Bowman Lake. Headded mountain bike racing and road cycling to hisrepertoire, before he went on to become a Para-Olympic Skiing and World Championships goldmedalist, as well as former World Cup champion onthe U.S. Disabled Cross Country Ski Team for thebetter part of a decade, winning the 2005 NordicWorld Championship.

This sense of adventure and achievement runs inthe family – after 15 years on the Street, Dan Cook wasnamed on the 2006 Outside Magazine’s “Top 100 Peo-ple, Adventures and Ideas.” He is an expert rower ofthe Yukon River in Alaska and Canada, and has com-pleted a 27-month, 75,000-mile around-the-world fly-fishing odyssey. In 2009, he launched the “Heart ofAmerica campaign,” a 3,700-mile, 80-day trip fromMontana to the Gulf of Mexico to raise awareness ofthe challenges facing disabled service-members.“There is a culture that reinforces the idea that theyare broken,” Cook said. “We don’t treat them like vic-tims. We treat them as potential leaders [which] theydemonstrated before they were injured.”

ROR was initially based in Utah. Cook wants to ex-

pand to four locations in Jackson, Aspen, and Tel-luride, and serve 5,000 vets per year – and he’s al-ready initiated trips solely for female veterans andveteran couples.

‘I’d rather it be me than them’Clenard has been involved with ROR since its incep-

tion in 2008. Hailing from a small town in central Cali-fornia, he grew up raising horses and cattle. Hewrestled, participated in the rodeo, and joined theMarines right out of high school. He executed two toursin Iraq, and a final tour in Afghanistan. In addition tolosing both his legs to an IED, Clenard suffered trau-matic brain injury, major hearing loss and damaged tis-sue in the buttocks. He also lost a chunk of bone fromhis wrist that had to be surgically replaced. He camehome with acute mood swings, memory loss, severephantom pains, vivid dreams of combat and heavy anx-iety attacks. He was overmedicated – mostly onpainkillers and anti-anxiety medications – and he nowsuffers from problems in his hands, pain from overcom-pensation in his shoulders, chest and neck, sores on hisupper legs, and continual battles with medication andissues with prosthetic replacements.

Despite all this, he still considers the Marine Corps“the finest fighting force the world has ever seen.

“If I didn’t step on [that IED], one of my machinegunners would have,” he said. “I’d rather it would beme than them.”

Clenard says that ROR opened his eyes a lot on whathe actually could do, even with prosthetics. “I didn’thave to sit in a wheelchair and play video games forthe rest of my life.” He now receives disability from thegovernment, which allows him to volunteer as a guide,taking fellow veterans on the river. Now he has re-duced his medications greatly, and has learned to uti-

lize the meditation and mindfulness techniques he learnedthrough ROR. When asked what war means to him, he replies, “Sivis pacem, para bellum,” an old Latin adage that translates as “Ifyou wish for peace, prepare for war.”

Challenges for RORWhen your average Jackson resident thinks of Town Square in

the summer, she probably imagines Japanese tourists taking pic-tures of the elk antler arches, not war veterans. “You don’t see a lotof 25-year-old kids walking around on prosthetics in Jackson,”Cook said. “We all have the obligation to support these kids whenthey come back injured.” He said that he believes the programsucceeds because it allows veterans to become participants intheir lives again, and it makes them more visible, which seems im-portant when you consider that only one-third of returning vetsreceive care, according to Veterans Prevail.

Most of ROR’s funding comes from private donors and corpora-tions, although funding itself is a constant struggle for the pro-gram. Regardless of political affiliation, there is a general sharedgoal to serve the veteran, according to Michael Rubenstein, a Jack-son local who sits on ROR’s board of directors. Nonetheless, Cooksaid that the program and its mission can be difficult to explain topotential donors. He says it is challenging to “convince sophisti-cated philanthropists that this is worth their time.”

Enter Jessie Bennett, a recreational therapist, medical re-searcher, and doctoral student at Indiana University. She has beeninvolved with ROR for two years, trying to create a qualitativestudy of vets’ perspectives and the demographic variables to findout who got the most out of the program. Bennett chose themeasurements that evaluate the variables in the vets: veterans’cortisol levels often stay high, which causes stress on the heartand nervous system, and results in a reduced life span; norepi-nephrine – adrenaline, which affects the fight or flight mecha-nism; and catecholamine levels, adversely affecting the immunesystem’s functioning. She examines each vet a week before theyenter the program, on their last night of the program and at one-month and six-month follow up intervals. She separates her emo-tions from her work by focusing on the veterans’ talents and skills.“I look at their abilities and not their disabilities. We try to teachthem that they are still competent at life – they have abilities thatmaybe they didn’t realize before.”

Improving quality of lifeThe research stands alone – the multiple pre-tests the program

administers to its clients correspond to stress, anxiety and sleepquality. For all three pre-tests, the lower scores ROR records reflectimprovement: less stress; fewer PTSD symptoms; and enhancedsleep quality, respectively. The 20-percent reduction in PTSDsymptoms ROR records speaks to the prognostic health of vetsover time. ROR has sustainability initiatives for long-term recov-ery, tracking their participants’ progress through a closed socialnetworking site and a focused outreach program.

“No one has taken the next step to scientifically quantify thephysical and psychological healing benefits that result from fly-fishing and outdoor recreation,” said Mitch Butler, a member ofROR’s board of directors.

So the vets in the program are also its best spokespeople,demonstrating the healing properties of the outdoors. “You don’thave to take a pill or medication or sit in a therapeutic environ-ment; you can actually heal by getting outdoors,” Cook said.

Moving forwardAfter two days, the trip ends at the Conant take-out near the

South Fork Lodge. The vets are tired, but satisfied. They all caughtfish, and enjoyed the challenge. They are relaxed and smiling, andlooking forward to dinner by the campfire.

Returning to camp feels much like returning from a mission.There is a palpable sense of accomplishment and brotherhoodamong the group. The fire is alight and the grill is heating up.

Cook relaxes before a night river mission, clearly satisfied withthe trip. In his confident manner with piercing gray eyes, he saysthat he left Wall Street because he had a sense that he could con-tribute in better ways. He folds his hands, speaking easily andquickly. He has done this before on national television stationssuch as MSNBC. “When you see a psychologically injured kidopen up to a group, feel comfortable for the first time in years orsmile ‘just because,’ there is no other way,” he said. “This is in-credibly effective therapy disguised as a fly-fishing trip.”

While ROR continues to work for more funding and under-standing, its guides and its vets are reaping the bounty of rehabili-tative effects. While one prosthetic leg can cost up to $40,000before labor and costs, Clenard is at peace on the river. The flow,the newness, and the constantly changing water conditions corre-spond to his own dramatic career switch. “I had plans, but shithappens, and you have to deal with it, get over it, and on to some-thing else. This isn’t a bad thing to move on to.”

By Matthew Irwin

The whole 2011 season of the Grand TetonMusic Festival has been leading up to thisweekend’s world premiere of Jennifer Hig-don’s All Things Majestic.

Calling from the airport in Salt Lake City,Higdon called the 20-minute, four-move-ment composition a “musical postcard, cel-ebrating the different aspect of Grand TetonNational Park.” The festival commissionedthe work in honor of its 50th anniversary.

“[I hope to create] an interesting musicalexperience,” Higdon, a flautist, said. “Youshould be able to just enjoy the piece on itsown; when I was writing it, I kept that inmind. Even if it’s your first experience withclassical music, it should speak to you.”

The program for GTMF’s final concert, ti-tled “A Grand Finale,” will feature the Festi-val Orchestra with music director DonaldRunnicles on the podium, and a solo per-formance by soprano Christine Brewer onStrauss’s “Four Last Songs.” Shubert’sRosamunde: Overture, D.644 will open the

evening, and Repighi’s Roman Festivals willconclude the 50th year of GTMF.

After receiving the commission from theFestival last year, Higdon visited Jackson Holeto look for inspiration and to meet the or-chestra, which she said factored greatly intoher composition.

“The big thing I learned is they’re reallygood,” Higdon said. “I wrote a lot of solos tohighlight the different principle players, aswell as first stand solos, for each of the stringsections. That’s a little unusual … but Iwanted to not only feature the whole en-semble, but the individual players, as well.”

During Higdon’s 2010 stay, the Festival Or-chestra played her Grammy-award winning“Percussion concerto,” written for percus-sionist Colin Currie. The audience at WalkFestival Hall, the night I attended, couldbarely stay seated as the last notes thun-dered through floor boards: they werepleased and wanted to make it known.

Because of that piece, Higdon said thatshe avoided big percussion parts in AllThings Majestic. However, her visit did give

her inspiration for the piece’s four move-ments: Teton Range, String Lake, Snake Riverand Cathedrals.

“Teton Range evokes the whole rangewhen you draw back for the big picture,” shesaid. “String lake – I couldn’t resist the refer-ence to strings in an orchestra. Snake River –I floated down it last year … the wildnessand unpredictability. And Cathedral for theCathedral Group –You look around at infi-nite details and then raise up to look at therange. It’s so huge.”

A long time friend and associate of Runni-cles from the Atlanta Symphony, Higdon saidthat the commission didn’t require any backand forth with the festival’s conductor.

Though she’s eager to see what the FestivalOrchestra does with her work, she’s also con-scious of the significance of the occasion.

“Fifty years is a milestone,” Higdon said.“I’m honored to be a part of that.”

“What’s important is the story. Because when we are all dust and teeth and kicked-up bitsof skin – when we’re dancing with our own skeletons – our words might be all that’s left ofus.” – Alexandra Fuller

Author and world adventuring enthusiast, Alexandra Fuller will read from her latest mem-oir Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness at the Teton County Library on Thursday.While she now resides in Wilson with her family, Fuller has a lifetime of stories to share withreaders as she retells her experience of a childhood lush with intense emotion set in a war-ridden African culture.

Fuller’s first book, Don’t Let’s Go to the Dog’s Tonight, recollects the vivid story of her lifewhile growing up with her family on a farm in Rhodesia, later known as Zimbabwe. In hernewest critically acclaimed memoir, the reader follows Fuller’s mother, Nicola. The cover artof the book depicts a small girl and a chimpanzee holding hands grasping the image ofNicola and her best friend as a child, a chimp named Stephen Foster.

Fuller traces Nicola through her youth as she comes of age in Kenya and illustrates thehead-over-heels romance with a man named Tim Fuller. Nicola and her future husband, Timdiscover they are kindred spirits with a love founded in a deep adoration for Africa: “Peopleoften ask why my parents haven’t left Africa. Simply put, they have been possessed by thisland. Land is Mum’s love affair and it’s Dad’s religion. When he walks from the camp underthe Tree of Forgetfulness to the river and back again, he is pacing a lifelong, sacred commit-ment to all soil learned at childhood”

Surely this is a unique experience for all Jackson Hole community members as it’s thrillingto hear stories from someone who has chosen Wyoming as her home, as we have, but hasspent a lifetime teething on African culture and loving a drastically different but similar land.

JACKSON HOLEHIGH SCHOOL

RADIOSee CALENDAR page 15

CALENDAR

By Matthew Irwin

Band geeks of the world unite, and takenotes from March Fourth Marching Band.The 19-person, traveling cheerleaders of rev-elry might show you how to be cool beforeyou graduate high school.

“We’re an alternative big band,” founderand bass player John Averill said from NewYork City’s Central Park, on a tour break inthe rain. “The big band era is a thing of thepast, but we’re a strange alternative fusionof big band and … I don’t know … some-thing else.”

Founded on March 4, 2003 as an im-promptu act for a Fat Tuesday Mardi Grasparty, M4 meets pep rally with circus act androck concert. The Portland, Ore. outfit jumpsout of the same bucket as the Yard Dogs RoadShow, as De La Guarda, as Black Bear Combo,though M4 is “first and foremost a band,”Averill said. Whereas the music at Yard Dogsor De La Guarda supports the performance,the band is the performance. But that’s not tosay that a few dancers and stilt-walkers won’tcome out from behind the curtains.

“It’s interactive,” Averill said. “It’s not ashow that you watch; it’s mostly a big danceparty. When they’re not on stage, the per-formers dance with the audience. The stiltwalkers rile them up.”

M4 members write all the tunes, which inthe early days consisted of New Orleans jazz,Eastern gypsy brass, Afro-beat and samba,but as of late tends toward funk, rock andjazz. Recently, the group’s baritone saxplayer started playing electric guitar.

To get a new song on the setlist, songwrit-ers embark on a rigorous and self-driven

process that requires each of them to write,record and produce their own works beforethey take them to the group. A 20-person re-hearsal, Averill said, is just too rare to spendwoodshedding new works. “There’s no timeto R&D some random groove you have,”Averill said.

The success of circus acts and marchingbands like March Fourth can be in part at-tributed to the kind of industry-less expres-sion and imagination encouraged at Burning

Man, but it can also be seen as a much-wel-come counterbalance to the one-man deejayexperience, crowds of people attempting toconnect with one dude, head down on theturntables, perhaps some lights behind himdoing the expression. I asked Averill what hethought about this idea.

“What we have in common with deejays ispeople who like to dance,” Averill said. “Butvisually, a deejay is not very interesting. Attimes, we have 18 to 19 people on stage – it’sa lot more engaging. Things happen in livemusic that don’t happen on a turntable. Itdoesn’t breathe the same way.”

And how exactly do those 20-some people(road team included) get along, travelingfrom town to town on a 40-foot bus?

“There’s just no room for drama, literally,”Averill said. “But we’re looking at a 45-footer.”

Write that down, band geeks: no drama,make space for yourself. As adults afraid oflawsuits, however, we won’t offer any officialadvice on consequences of embarking on,say, a Pink Floyd phase, aided by mind-ex-panding drugs and dingy bars whose bar-tenders see the “21 and over” sign as more ofa disclaimer than a law.

THE GOODS by Matthew Irwin

Ultimate metalOrdinarily I’d take issue with any band that offers any

“ultimate” experience, but the cheesy-ass superlative ofmarketing departments all across the country seems to beperfect for Blistered Earth. It works, because the men andwomen who now fill directors’ chairs in said marketingdepartments more-than-likely came up in the Metallicaera. They came up with commercials offering, in a heavy,almost threatening voice, “The ultimate heavy metalalbum … bum … um.” Metallica probably also had someroadie whose sole responsibility was to announce, “Metal-lica: The Ultimate Heavy Metal Band.” (I don’t know frompersonal experience, because, as much as I would haveloved to see Metallica when I was in junior high (circa1990), my folks wouldn’t let me go to any concerts, letalone one for a band that wore all black and often featuredtwisted images of skulls and naked woman on its merch.)And if you’re thinking that this preview doesn’t do much inthe way of actually previewing the band, I evoke my rightto use anecdote and nostalgia as methods of writing abouta Spokane, Wash. band that imitates a legendary band thatdominated at the height of MTV, is now known for whin-ing and crying about illegal downloads and can’t possiblywin any new fans from a preview, especially now that themusic seems dated. You either get Metallica or you don’t,and the use of “ultimate” itself is a tribute to that era, and Itherefore take no issue with Blistered Earth for promisingthe “ultimate tribute to Metallica.”

Blistered Earth, 9 p.m., Saturday, Town Square Tav-ern. $10 ($5 before 10 p.m.) 733-3886

Sheridan sweetheart“True American country” isn’t a phrase I find myself

repeating very often, nor wanting to repeat, to be hon-est, because it still conjures images of some sequinedjeans-wearing, doe-eyed blonde who sings into a ma-chine because she’s got no voice. But Jackson Hole is thehome of many fine country vocalists and the men whoknow when it’s time to step aside for the real talent.

That seems to be the case with the Teka Brock Band.Based in Sheridan, Wyo., the true country quintetformed a few years ago to back Brock’s vocals, and theylet the girl hold a guitar.

Forget that its members ain’t originally fromWyoming. They had the sense to move to here, and nowthey’s a real, hard-working Wyoming band, completewith sweet sweet prairie vocals.

Teka Brock Band, 9:30 p.m., Friday. $7. Mangy-moose.net

Blistered Earth

Flatpickin at KnottyOne more show worth mentioning (though (per

usual) ye old supper club on yonder side of the hillhasn’t done much to promote it, let alone make in-formation very accessible): Larry Keel is the flat-picker’s flatpicker – staying pig-head … I mean true… to his sound no matter what the rising tide of in-fluence from the radio or the dark, lonely rooms offan boys sharing away on the Internet.

Keel came up in a southwest Virginia bluegrass family,and filled his mental songbook with the mountaingreats: Tony Rice, Vassar Clements, Sam Bush, Del Mc-Coury, John Hartford, Bill Monroe, Mike Marshall andDarol Anger. Some of those legends, he’s even shared abill with, and to this very day, he collaborates with Yon-der Mountain String Band, Keller Williams, JormaKaukonen, David Nelson, Jim Lauderdale, and dudesfrom String Cheese Incident and Leftover Salmon.

Keel’s arrival might be a week late for Grand TargheeBluegrass Festival, but if you were also a week late, youwon’t leave Drictor completely empty handed.

GROSSMAN

BAND

Gloss Drop is every bit as sugary and tasty asthe pile of extruded pink goo on the album’scover suggests. Ingenious guitarist/vocalistTyondai Braxton may have left Battles for solopastures, but Battle’s newest release sufferslittle from his departure. A short lineup ofguest singers—Matias Aguayo, Gary Numan,Kazu Makino (Blonde Redhead) and Yaman-taka Eye (Bordeoms, yes!)—provide enoughvocal color to fill the empty space, once filledby Braxton’s often grating digitally-tweakedvocals. On the whole, Gloss Drop is a moreplayful and less experimentally ambitiousthan Mirrored, making it one of the more im-mediately accessible math/experimental rockrecords out there. Tightly plucked andsprightly guitar riffs are layered atop video-gamey keyboards, slinky bass and charging,frantic drums. I challenge you to listen to “IceCream” on a home stereo system and denythe compulsion to bounce around the room.Instrumental tracks like “Inchworm” and“Wall Street” are suffused with a futuristic andsugar-addled carnivalesque mood. Andalbum closer “Sundome,” the Yamantakatrack, pours slowly, steadily gaining speed andvolume before erupting in a waterfall of won-derful noise. – Benjamin R. Bombard

Gloss Drop

BATTLESAs on previous albums by the UK band

Beirut, the trumpet (and to a degree theukulele) plays predominately on The Riptide,but here Zach Condon parts the notes to agreater degree with his voice.

True, the pump organ and marching bandbrass come in heavy on the album opener, “ACandle’s Fire.” But then, Condon’s vocals takethe drum major’s position, in a display of self-control, putting the song ahead of his per-formance. “Santa Fe” kicks in the synthrhythm for a hopelessly catchy hook, but, by“East Harlem,” the album opens up a bit, thetrumpets punctuating Condon’s reliable,though reserved, vocals in a somewhatmelancholy pianoman tune.

“Goshen” introduces the second, more origi-nal, half of The Riptide. It’s a ballad that usesthe trumpets and snare for an uplifting turnafter lyrics pronouncing detachment: “You’re aface in stone / through the lens I own. / Younever found it home. / you’re not the girl I usedto know.” All this seems a set up for “Port ofCall,” a wonderfully light and meanderingcloser, for which Condon pulls out all his fa-vorite tools, still holding the post for complex,etheral new music that doesn’t rely on instru-ments that need electricity. – Matthew Irwin

The Riptide

BEIRUTIn hip-hop history, there are very few ex-

amples of collaborations between artiststhat lived up to the respective artists indi-vidual efforts. Kanye West’s last record, MyBeautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, was per-haps the best album of his career. Jay-Z’sBlueprint 3 was a disappointment; the JiggaMan’s last hot album was the AmericanGangster soundtrack.

Kanye and Jay-Z have combined talentsfor Watch the Throne. I don’t say this often,but pick up this album even if you have topay for it. This is the hip-hop release of theyear. Neither artists’ egos get in the way of aflawless and seamless collaboration.

OFWGKTA’s Frank Ocean, Pete Rock andBeyonce guest star and Otis Redding andCurtis Mayfield are also sampled. I reallycan’t say enough about how well producedthis record is. Watch the Throne draws onboth artists’ substantial catalogs of workand yet is fresh and original. A record that isfunky, soulful, and heartfelt from a gang-ster’s perspective looking back at popularculture. – Aaron Wallis

By Aaron Wallis

We were just outside of Alpine when thedrugs began to take effect. We had set out onan epic summertime road trip, destinationOutside Lands Music Festival. I was rejectedfor a press pass; apparently working for JHWeekly does not have the pull necessary forpress credentials. Though I still had all Ineeded for a good time: good acid. But whenplanning an epic road trip, one needs mem-bers of all three drug families, uppers, down-ers and hallucinogens. And to put together areally serious drug collection, one has to getout of Jackson.

Outside Lands is a three-day music festivalin San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, at-tended by more than 140,000 people, a sea ofpeople getting high and enjoying music.

Molly, which is a pure form of MDMA, wasall the rage this year, every 17-year-old andhis study-buddy couldn’t seem to shut upabout it. I guess molly is cool if you’re in highschool, and nothing stops you from getting aboner, but I think acid is better for old men.But not old men like Big Boi, who was re-cently arrested for possession of ecstasy andViagra. I’ve been an Outkast fan for years andwas really looking forward to Big Boi’s set atOutside Lands. I went early and got a greatspot down front. But Big Boi’s DJ Swift could-n’t seem to get his laptop working. Contraryto what Big Boi might lead you to believe inhis music he does not in fact have, “a backupplan to my backup plan to backup hisbackup plan.” There is no backup plan otherthan Dave Chappelle kicking a beach ballinto the crowd.

After an hour, the festival pulled the plugto make way for Erykah Badu, who showed

up dressed like Gandalf. I saw Erykah back in1996, when she was still a size two, now she’sblown up to like a 16 or something. After onesong, she started heckling the crowd aboutnot being enthusiastic enough and I took offin time to catch the end of a pretty mediocreShins set. One of the openers, Phantogram,ended up being the only decent band I sawon day one.

Thankfully the music got better on day two,maybe because the marijuana smoke was sothick even the cops got a contact buzz.Philadelphia’s The Roots repped the ole skoolwith a killer set drawing from a wide variety ofinfluences. Girl Talk was next up, though I

caught his set from the back to avoid beingtrampled by a mob of horny, sweaty 17-year-olds rolling on molly. Great sound, but thereis only so much a laptop can do on stage.

Day three, I had a nice nutritious breakfastof deep fried mac and cheese and thencaught an amazing performance by !!! (pro-nounced chk-chk-chk). Think: an ironicdisco funk aerobics class. I really enjoyed thenext act, Little Dragon. She can best be de-scribed as an Asian hooker in neon andmetallic tights who love you long time. I fin-ished the day off with Arcade Fire who livedup to its reputation as one of the world’s bestlive bands.

Music is art, too

By Ari LeVaux

August 3 was a telling day forfood freedom in America, but theevents were framed in terms offood safety. In Venice, Calif., theRawesome raw food club wasraided by armed federal andcounty agents who arrested aclub volunteer and seized com-puters, files, cash, and $70,000worth of perishable produce.

James Stewart, 64, was chargedon 13 counts, 12 of them relatedto the processing and sale of un-pasteurized milk. The othercount involved unwashed, room-temperature eggs—a storagemethod Rawesome membersprefer. The agents dumped gal-lons of raw milk and filled a largeflatbed with seized food, includ-ing coconuts, watermelons, andfrozen buffalo meat.

That same morning, leaders atthe multinational conglomerateCargill were calculating how bestto deal with a deadly outbreak ofdrug-resistant salmonella thatoriginated in a Cargill-ownedturkey factory.

When word of the raw milkcrackdown got out, a bevy ofhigh-profile lawyers offered torepresent the raw foodies probono, says Rawesome memberLela Buttery, 29. Christopher Dar-den, who helped prosecute O.J.Simpson, appeared at Stewart’sarraignment just in time to lowerhis bail from the $121,000 thatprosecutor’s had recommended

to $30,000, and to strike a rarelyused clause that would have pre-vented Stewart from employing abail bondsman.

The August 3 raid was notRawesome’s first. A June 2010raid resulted in seizures of cash,computers, and other equipmentthat has yet to be returned, But-tery says. It also resulted in Rawe-some’s agreement not todistribute raw milk from SantaPaula-based Healthy FamilyFarms, which had been supplyingit to Rawesome.

With the prohibition againstselling to Rawesome, HealthyFamily Farms owner SharonPalmer, 51, disbanded her dairyherd. Palmer and her employeeVictoria Bloch, 58, were also ar-rested August 3 on charges re-lated to marketing chickenproducts, one count of which in-volved Rawesome’s unwashed,room temperature eggs.

Later that day as Stewart,Palmer, and Bloch languished injail, Cargill issued a voluntary re-call, four months after peoplebegan getting sick, of 36 millionpounds of ground turkey trace-able to an Arkansas plant. Cargillhas a history of deadly outbreaks,is a major supplier to the nation’spublic-school meal programs,and sells turkey under dozens ofbrand names, none of which in-clude the word “Cargill.”

The labels at Rawesome don’tsay much either, but records inthe club’s office sourced each

batch of raw milk. This informa-tion, before it was seized, wasavailable to members. If a con-tamination issue were to haveflared up, members contend, itcould have been much morequickly traced than, say, thatCargill turkey. Buttery says that in12 years, there hasn’t been a re-ported problem.

Despite a lack of victims,Rawesome stands accused. Andwhile Cargill has no shortage ofvictims, nobody at the companyhas been charged with a crimeover the turkey recall. The gov-ernment has fewer optionsagainst multinational corpora-tions than it does against neigh-borhood food co-ops. USDAoversees the safety of meat prod-ucts, but can only encourage“voluntary recalls” of productsthat have been infected with an-tibiotic-resistant pathogens, re-ports Tom Philpott in MotherJones. The final decision to recallwas left to the company, whichinevitably considered the bottomline as well as public safety whenmaking its decision.

While Cargill self-polices, theRawesome club has been undermore intense scrutiny than mem-bers even realized. “Since theraid, it’s come out that we’vebeen under investigation sinceJune 30 of last year,” Buttery says.“They’ve been monitoring usfrom unmarked vehicles, theyhave agents who have becomemembers.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Time magazineasked Pulitzer Prize-winning historian DavidMcCullough why he started writing a biographyof Pablo Picasso but never finished it. McCul-lough said it was because the famous artistturned out to be boring. He attracted a steadyflow of new lovers, and he made hundreds ofpaintings, but he didn’t actually live an interest-ing life. I’m urging you to be the anti-Picasso inthe coming weeks, Aries. Put the emphasis onthe quality of your adventures more than onwhat you produce. Regard your life as yourmost important work of art.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Let’s cele-brate the first time you cried naked in someoneelse’s bed,” is a message on an e-card I found atSomeecards.com. You might want to send thatproposal to yourself, Taurus. It’s an excellenttime to commemorate the rousing catharses ofthe past. You may find that revisiting the break-through epiphanies of yesteryear will help putyou in the right frame of mind (and heart) toconjure up a fresh batch.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Why is it so hardfor Westerners of the last two centuries to feelthe intimate presence of the divine intelli-gences? Every other culture in the history ofthe world has had a more vital connection withthe realm of spirit. According to poet Gary Sny-der, California’s Yana Indians explained it thisway: The gods have retreated to the volcanicrecesses of Mt. Lassen, passing the time playinggambling games with magic sticks. They’re sim-ply waiting for such a time when human beingswill “reform themselves and become ‘real peo-ple’ that spirits might want to associate withonce again.” Here’s why I’m bringing this up,Gemini: I think that right now is a special timein your life when you have the power to be-come a “real person” with whom the spiritswill want to have closer communion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I strongly adviseyou against purchasing and reading what someobservers have called “the saddest book in the

universe.” It’s a recipe book by Sonia Allisoncalled Microwave for One (bit.ly/SadBook). Nomatter how inclined you might be to opt forexcessive self-sufficiency right now, no matterhow peeved you are at the human race forbeing so clumsy and ignorant, I believe youmust keep trying to reach out and touch thosewho are touchable, even if they’re barely so.You need what people have to offer you, evenif it’s sloppy, wimpy, or kooky.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Science writer K.C.Cole asks this question: “How would you hold100 tons of water in thin air with no visiblemeans of support?” Here’s her answer: “Builda cloud.” What you have before you right now,Leo, is a comparable scenario. Your assignmentis to materialize a phenomenon that from acertain viewpoint may appear to be laughablyimpossible. And yet, with the proper attitudeon your part and nature’s help, the project athand is eminently achievable. It won’t neces-sarily be fast and easy, mind you — but youwouldn’t want it to be, because then it would-n’t be able to teach you all the precious wis-dom it has to impart.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Dear AstrologyGuy: Thank you kindly for your assistance. Oneof your horoscopes gave me a kick in the buttthat propelled me free of a trap I had stupidlyagreed to stay stuck in. At the same time, I alsohave to tell you to go to hell, because no one,including me, likes hearing the awful, embar-rassing truth. As much healing as your wordshelped bring me, they also stung my pride.Love and hate, Virgo.” Dear Virgo: You’re wel-come and I’m sorry. It’s good to hear you’reable to appreciate the gifts of paradox. Let’shope that will keep you creatively humble asyou slip into an expansive building phase whenyour ego may be understandably prone to a bitof inflation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Newsweek re-ported a fact that few Westerners know about:Nigeria is accustomed to major oil spills. Every

year since the 1960s, the Niger Delta has beenslammed with a spill as extensive as the ExxonValdez, which was the second biggest oil catas-trophe in U.S. history. “Large purple slickscover once fertile fields,” said Newsweek, “andrivers are clogged with oil leaked decades ago.”My purpose in bringing this to your attention isnot to depress you, Libra, but rather to inspireyou. In the coming weeks, I hope you will makeit your passion to uncover injustices you’vebeen unaware of, including those close tohome. I think you’ll be amazed at how muchthis buoys your spirits. P.S.: You’ll get extracredit if you actually take action to address theunfairness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the song“Fantasy World,” the lead singer of the bandPissed Jeans imagines himself in his happy place.“It’s Friday night and Saturday morning in myfantasy world / Sitting near piles of clothes anddrinking a soda / with a slice of pizza in my fan-tasy world.” He’s not describing some unrealis-tic paradise where he can fly like an eagle andseduce anyone he wants and find gold barsunder his pillow in the morning. Rather, he’scontent with the simple, familiar pleasures. Iurge you to follow his lead as you imagine andcreate your own fantasy world this week. Lovewhat you’ve got.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Thehighest unclimbed mountain in the world isGangkhar Puensum, an almost 25,000-foot-tallbeauty in Bhutan. It will remain free of humaninfluence indefinitely, as local authorities arekeen on preventing the environmental degra-dation that has occurred on popular peaks likeMt. Everest, where climbers have left lots oftrash. What’s the equivalent in your sphere,Sagittarius? The most prominent unconqueredprize? The Grail that still remains elusive? Thevirgin treasure your quest has not yet won?According to my analysis, you now have thepotential to make tangible progress towardthat goal. Unlike the case with Gangkhar

Puensum, there are no rules or laws prevent-ing you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Mommy,are scientists real?” the boy asked his mother.“Yes, son, they are,” she replied. “Do theymake stuff that is dangerous?” continued theboy. “Sometimes they do,” said the mom.“Then I want to be one when I grow up,” con-cluded the boy. In the coming weeks, Capri-corn, I see you as being like the boy. You’ll be inthe mood to brainstorm about what you mightlike to evolve into, and your fantasies will tendto move in the direction of what’s most adven-turous and exciting. I urge you to fully indulge inthose flights of fancy. It’s time to dream reallybig and really free.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I got ex-pelled from college for cheating during mymetaphysics final,” joked Woody Allen. “I gotcaught looking into the soul of the guy next tome.” Even if you’re not taking a big test for ametaphysics class, Aquarius, I urge you to do alot of what Allen claimed he did: Gaze into thesouls of those around you. It’s an excellenttime, astrologically speaking, for you to escapethe enclosed container of your own innerworld and survey the raw truths and deep feel-ings that other people hold dear.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I have nodoubt that in reality the future will be vastlymore surprising than anything I can imagine,”said pioneering geneticist J.B.S. Haldane. I sharethat view, and I think it’s good to keep in mindwhenever we’re tempted to rearrange our livesin accordance with the visions of those whopredict the future, whether they be New Ageprophets, indigenous elders, scientific experts,or political pundits. Nobody knows much ofanything about how it’s all going to unfold! Thefuture is not set in stone, but is totally up forgrabs. The sooner you make that an everydayreminder, the more aggressive you’ll becomeabout creating the life you want. Now is an ex-cellent time to get the hang of it.
