On reporters, pundits, politicians and you

From the Editor’s DeskOPINION by MATTHEW IRWIN

Another man might find it imprudent to confront thevery industry that feeds him, but I believe it patriotic toremember how you receive information at a time whenuncertainty is a method of public debate.

Newspapers offer facts, reconstructed from theaccounts and expressed goals of various sources – notunlike a game of telephone. I was reminded of this afterrecently reading Harold Jaffe’s new book, Jesus Coyote.A former professor of mine, Jaffe writes “docu-fictions,”meaning that his work both pulls from actual documentsand mimics them in the telling of fictional events. Thisliterary form brings to the foreground the varied, andoften contradictory, texts from which history is written,while also questioning front-end reporting techniquesthat prematurely log official best-guesses as fact – all inthe way of demythologizing the past.

The diligent reporter, of course, applies his bullshit-fil-ter and repeatedly asks unwelcome questions, but thewhole story sometimes remains unclear, however muchFox News and CNN comfort us with promos of reportersin the field, fighting for our right to know. (Proviso: fieldreporters are pretty badass.)

Enter the pundit. O’Reilly, Matthews, Hanity, Scarborough.Stewart and Colbert? The pundit offers his opinion – addledby agenda as much by expertise, no doubt – about what gov-

ernment officials really mean and how the voter will respond.(Who is this generic voter, anyway?) Then, pundits quote eachother, and eventually Larry King asks those same governmentofficials to explain what has been said.

The other option is debate, a no-(media)-filter look atthe candidates, but with it’s own shortcomings. The sec-ond presidential candidate debate wasn’t much different

from the first, except that Ithought “My Buddy”McCain would eventuallysit in an audience member’slap, he was getting so close.

Tonight, McCain will saythat he wants to giveAmericans $5,000 forinsurance, to which Obamawill respond that the

money comes from taxes on employers. Then, Obama willsay that leadership in Iraq has been wrong from the start,and McCain will say that the success of “the surge”proves otherwise. On tax cuts, the economy, healthcare,Iraq, oil: both candidates will spend more time undoingeach other than confidently putting their plans forward.

What was I writing about? Oh yes: journalistic tech-nique. Some readers have called Planet JH a community

newspaper. We prefer the term “alternative weekly,”though we value our role in the community of JacksonHole. I want to tell you that Planet JH believes in you,Jackson Hole. We believe in your folksy, grassrootsy, fun-damental ability as free Americans to cipher out fact fromfiction. It’s not about what we do as a newspaper; it’sabout what you believe as readers.

And if that last bit moves you in anyway, go ahead andvote for McCain, from whom I learned how to avoid talk-ing about issues by taking the focus off myself and by get-ting sappy about Americans.

As a newspaper, our job is to find out what’s going on inJackson Hole without hyperbole, to call out the crazieswhen we see them and to admit when we are wrong, how-ever seldom that may be . . . Likewise, a government offi-cial’s job is not to encourage us to do his job. The firsttime my dad let me mow the lawn, I felt all grown up, butit wasn’t long before I learned that mowing the lawn sucks.

Elections are less than three weeks away, and if youhaven’t decided for whom to vote, yet, read through thiscolumn, again. It won’t help at all, no more than tonight’sdebate, anyway. There is no new information. The dam-age of bad information has been done. Decades from now,we’ll look at all the documents and say, “We knew whatwe were looking at, but we got it all wrong.” PJH

Even though winter came for avisit already, that doesn’t meanthe mountain biking is done forthe year. You just have to strate-gize a little differently. With freshsnow on the ground, most of ourlocal trails ride great. But, you dorun the risk of doing some majordamage to them. Head out in themorning when the ground is hardto ensure your tires won’t be dig-ging in too deep. Sure, it’s a littlechilly to say the least, but onceyou get going you’ll be amazedhow warm you stay. Don’t over dothe layers, it’s better to start out alittle cold and warm up as you go.Think it’s too cold to ride? It’snever too cold to ski, what’s thedifference? After a significantsnowfall like we had last weekend,let the trails melt off for a few daysbefore riding in the middle of theday. If you’re unsure, ride upCache Creek or the Elk Refugeroad to see what the conditionsare like. Don’t miss out on thebest riding conditions of the year.

Say what?!

While schlepping a heavy turnof the century piano across townwith a moving truck last week,one part-time Jackson Hole resi-dent and full-time professionalphotographer made a rather mon-umental announcement.

“So I’m getting married,” hesaid.

“Really?” replied a friend. “Towho?”

“Well, remember that night at theSilver Dollar bar a few weeksago?” the photographer continued.

Sorry Senators and dirty money

To Sens Enzi and Barrasso; I want toapologize for wrongly accusing you of vot-ing for this grand-theft bailout. Indeed, youwere two of the few profiles of courage inWashington concerning this matter. I washaving one of my, as of late, many pitch-fork-and-torch, storm-the-Bastille momentsand wrote from my heart without filteringit through my brain first. I was wrong: onthis treasonous bailout, you two did stepup to the plate and vote against it. In thefuture I’ll try to cool down and get my headand facts straight before hitting send.

But the sentiment of the rest of the letterstill stands. I am still totally outraged by theblatant disregard the majority of bothCongressional Democrats and Republicanshad for the will of We the People they aresupposed to represent. By giving this moneyand more importantly extra-constitutionalpowers to the very people who created theproblem, We the People have been betrayednot by one party but by the two-party system.

There is really only one party that matters inthis country, the Party of Big, Dirty Moneyand they’re the puppeteers of both partiesand the two presidential candidates this andevery election year and they have broughtthis country to where it is today. Both presi-dential candidates supported this armed rob-bery of this nation’s grandchildren. Insteadof using this money to develop green tech-nologies and re-building our worn-out infra-structure, creating good paying jobs, invest-ments that would make this country muchbetter off, they’re giving this money to thelikes of Sachs Goldman so they can buy upassets at depressed prices. Or affordablehealthcare. Ironic ain’t it, We the People arenow the majority owners of the largest insur-ance company in the world but many poorworking families have to chose between buy-ing ever more expensive groceries, payingrent, keeping the lights and heat on or takingtheir kid to see a doctor. This two-party sys-tem makes it too easy for the likes of Paulsonand his buddies to buy our politicians, as wehave just seen. This nation and state is ripe

for a third, fourth or even a fifth party, if nota revolution. Maybe start a new SecessionistParty that would force Wall Street andWashington to secede from the Union andleave the rest of us the hell alone. Pelosi, Reidand Frank and the rest of the VichyDemocrats have just proven that they are asindifferent to the will of the American peopleas our reality challenged President.

In a state with as small of population asWyoming and with the outrage and sense oftotal betrayal by both parties I hear fromDemocrats and Republicans alike a thirdparty is doable. As a staunch Independent, Idon’t think average Wyoming Democrat orRepublican voters are that far apart. What dif-ferences there are are overblown by the twomajor parties who get their marching ordersfrom out-of-state national party headquartersthat could really care less about Wyoming’sthree electoral college votes. Most of us outhere realize the importance of energy devel-opment and the jobs and tax base it creates.But we still want to have places to hunt andfish, and the critters need clean water, air and

Wild LivesOPINION by BROOKE WILLIAMS

The force of caribouPhotographer Florian Schultz and his

wife, Emile, spent this past summer inAlaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.(Florian was in Jackson a few years ago tomake a presentation of his book,Yellowstone to Yukon, Freedom to Roam.)During one period they watched 80,000caribou cross a swift river. I asked him howhe knew that there were 80,000. “I countedthem,” he said.

Last week in Seattle, I met withFlorian and his publisher, HelenCherullo of Braided River Books(www.braidedriverbooks.org), totalk about how to best use eight-minute video on the cariboumigration he’s currently editing.

Besides the artistic eye that isable to perfectly balance colorand shape and light, Florianhas the one trait that seems toseparate nature photographersfrom all others: patience. Whilehe didn’t count every cariboucrossing that river, he took‘samples’ — he sat on the bankfor five days, periodically not-ing the exact time required for1,000 caribou to cross. Then using the aver-age, he did some math to come up with thetotal number of individuals in the herd.When he wasn’t counting animals, he wastaking still photographs and digital video,which he is now meshing into what willbecome a deeply moving record, and hope-fully an important tool in the battle to savethis spectacular and truly wild place.

As I watched the film, I felt somethingshift. Four years ago, Terry and I took a rivertrip through the Refuge with some friends.The last night, the long and bright summersun moving horizontally between distantcliffs, caribou magically appeared across theriver from where we were camped. 5,000?2,000 or 10,000? I have no idea. There they

were, spread out, clipping lush plants from agolden carpet of tundra, which I could swearwas empty only moments before. We sat forhours, mesmerized as millions of years, allthose square miles of land and unlimited sky,the oil they say is pooled beneath the surface— all of it compressing into a small, hardnugget of wildness I could feel in the middleof my chest. Watching them moving onFlorian’s film took me back to that moment.

Migrating caribou f lowrather than move, driven byboth rhythm and purpose.Relentless. Tireless and deter-mined. The shift I felt wasthis: watching caribou move inFlorian’s film, dark eyed moth-ers entering the water, swim-ming, the force of their movingbodies creating an eddy to pullalong their week-old young, Irealized that this issue isn’treally about the charts andgraphs and political arguingabout how many millions ofbarrels of oil that might bepumped from this land, andhow many cents a gallon of gas

might fall in how many years, if we allowthis wilderness to be drilled. Or how manyacres of land will actually be affected.Watching caribou move is watching lifeforce. There is only one life force.Although our modern lives have becomeso complicated that we don’t notice it, weare subject to the same force that movescaribou unflinchingly. Like the caribou, weare driven by one primordial purpose: topass life on to the future. “Primordial,”according to Michael Meade, in his newbook, The World Behind the World,“refers to the prime source, the originalorders that were present at the beginningand remain hidden at the center of every-thing, even oneself.” PJH

Individuals behind a local ad campaignencouraging Jackson Hole residents to votespoke about the ads this week, saying they wantto encourage people to vote without suggestingfor whom, exactly, they should vote.

“This is a public service to get young peopleinvolved,” said Jim Stanford, who acknowl-edged in an interview the non-partisan ads werehis idea. From there, he added, “People are freeto vote however they please.”

Known in the valley as a blogger and pho-tographer, among other pursuits, Stanfordbriefly contemplated running in the upcom-ing mayoral race after winning enough write-in votes in the August primaries. He also isknown as a rather outspoken supporter ofDemocratic presidential candidate BarackObama.

The first ads, which began appearing inprint and on radio at the beginning ofOctober, featured pro-snowboarder TravisRice, who appeared in a run of full-page ads

in the Jackson Hole Daily and also on arecorded public service announcement forradio. This week a second wave of adsappeared, this time featuring anotherJackson Hole quasi-celebrity, big-mountainskier Crystal Wright. The image of each wasreprinted from a 2007 Jackson Hole athleteportrait project with the cooperation of pho-tographer Heather Erson.

While the Rice ads did not disclose whohad placed them – the only contact infopointed individuals to the County Clerk’soffice to register – the new Wright ads carrythe stamp of the Wyoming ConservationVoters Education Fund. That group, astatewide nonprofit that educates voters onconservation and environmental qualityissues, does not, by policy, endorse candi-dates. To avoid drawing attention to himself,Stanford explained that he decided to not puthis name on the Rice ad.

Stanford approached Amy McCarthy,another outspoken Obama supporter, tohelp collaborate on the get out the young

vote campaign. McCarthy’s husband, Forest,sits on the WCVEF board.

McCarthy helped organize the lateSeptember pro-Obama rally on Town Squarebut, like Stanford, said she wanted to encour-age young potential voters to vote withoutusing the ad campaign to endorse her owncandidate.

“As long as people begin [voting] young,they’ll be inspired to for the rest of theirlives,” McCarthy said. The ads are funded bya combination of private donations fromWCVEF funding, she said.

The ads should be viewed as a trumpetingself-determination in voting, not as endorse-ments of candidates or issues, Stanford said.

“My goal was to use the athlete’s words,”he said, referring to the featured quotes byRice and Wright encouraging young voters toget involved. “That’s more effective than meor someone else saying something.”

Meanwhile a majority of young, voting-ageJackson Hole residents, based on multipleconversations at social hubs across the valley,say they favor Sen. Obama over Sen. McCain.Many Jackson residents in their 20s and 30s– as liberal-leaning outdoor enthusiasts whostrongly rejected Bush and often practice, atthe least, an appearance of armchair environ-mentalism – share the precursors of anObama supporter

The valley’s socio-political climate has leftsome of McCain’s younger supporters hesi-tant to openly discuss the election in tavernsand beer halls.

“It is hard to be a young Republican here,”said one pro-McCain 26-year-old who askedto have her name withheld, in part becauseof her work with local non-partisan group.She even is sometimes ridiculed by closefriends.

“They tell me, ‘you’re too smart for that,’”she said, observing the political climate forpeople her age in JacksonHole is “overwhelming pro-Obama.” PJH

The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce’sdecision to break ties with a U.S. Chamber ofCommerce program over its endorsement of aWyoming political candidate marked the firsttime a member group has terminated the part-nership this election cycle, a spokespersonwith the U.S. Chamber said this week.

Jackson Hole Chamber Director TimO’Donoghue said his organization broke

ties with the U.S. Chamber of CommerceFederation Partnership, because of theU.S. Chamber’s endorsement ofRepublican Cynthia Lummis over WilsonDemocrat Gary Trauner for Wyoming’slone U.S. House seat.

O’Donoghue explained the endorsementviolates Jackson Hole Chamber policy, addingthe organization – based on discussions withits members – takes issue with Lummis’ oppo-sition to protect the Wyoming Range.

About 430 chambers of commercethroughout the country participate in freepartnership, but Jackson is the only one tohave quit the networking program over theU.S. Chamber’s endorsement, according to aU.S. Chamber spokesperson, Dan Fedigan.

Cheyenne Chamber director DaleSteenbergen said for his chamber, the partner-ship benefits, free “tools for business,” forchamber members outweigh the occasionalpolitical endorsement. PJH

The Buzz

According to recent data, youngWyomingites in Teton Countyseem to be increasingly support-ive of the Democratic presidentialcandidate, Barack Obama.

In 2004, the last presidentialelection year, the number of reg-istered valley Democrats, ages18 to 30, was approximately 713,according to the Teton CountyClerk’s Office. For this year’supcoming election, the numbershave already climbed to 941.Registered Republican voters inthe same age range, however,dipped from roughly 694 in theyear 2004 to 588 this year.Residents can still register asabsentee voters on Election Day.

Liberal voter trends in the valleyare not isolated to young people.The overall number of registeredDems in Teton County grew fromapproximately 2,739 in 2004 to4,161 in 2008. In contrast,approximately 6,277 Republicanvoters registered during the lastpresidential election, and thisyear numbers have declined to5,598. “I’ve never seen anythinglike it’s been this year,” said exec-utive director of the WyomingDemocratic Party Bill Lucket.“We’ve had record crowds atstate events and 13 times morepeople at county caucuses.”

Lucket said strong Democraticcandidates, a wavering economyand the war in Iraq have con-tributed to a mounting number ofWyo. Democrats.

In addition to a slew of recent controver-sies including a failed operational leaseagreement, a CEO bonus and real estate pur-chases, potential hospital board memberswill inherit a community asset in need ofrepair.

The hospital’s prices are high, because it isisolated from population and supply centers,and it’s usually about half full. Uninsured citi-zens receive care at a cost to paying patients,and prices drive a percentage of its potentialpatient base elsewhere – to Idaho Falls or TetonOutpatient Surgery (TOPS), for example.

On Nov. 4, only one board member is seek-ing reelection, and one candidate has saidthat board member burnout is one of thehospital’s biggest problems.

But still, a new array of candidates – twodoctors, three businessmen, a lawyer and asocial services director – are all vying forthree unpaid, four-year seats on the board.

The candidates want to attract payingpatients back to St. Johns, improve its quali-ty of service and put the “community” backin “community hospital.”

Dr. Bruce Hayes, a long time valley resi-dent, who is in the hospital nearly every day,said lowering prices would bring patientsback to the hospital.

“I think the hospital loses out on a sourceof revenue [by overpricing] and I also thinkthat the community loses faith in there ownhospital, like they can’t afford care at theirlocal hospital” he said, adding, “any decreasein revenue we get by [lowering prices] wouldbe made up for … by the increased patients.”

Several candidates also think St. Johnsshould wield its influence to help bring com-munity-wide insurance to Jackson. Thatwould increase the paying patient base, anddecrease the amount of money lost to non-paying patients.

Bill Best served on the Board at ChicagoChildren’s hospital before retiring to hisJackson home last year. Best said thatGillette has begun a community health insur-ance program that Jackson could join. Hewould aim for a 25-percent reduction in cov-erage cost, a discounted rate that could besplit between employers and employees inJackson.

But the program couldn’t be overseen bythe hospital.

Dr. Emmy Knobloch, another proponentof community healthcare, said “I don’t’ see

why [community insurance] wouldn’t workin Wyoming. The question is: Can we get thesupport form the state and Teton county?”

Smokey Rhea said the hospital could bandtogether with other hospitals in the state tolobby the legislature for better insurance pro-grams.

Rhea is running on a “community plat-form,” much like Knobloch and Hayes. Thetwo doctors are known to accept patientswho have difficulty paying, and Rhea is thedirector of the Community Resource Center.Her clients struggle to stay afloat against ris-ing healthcare costs. But some say that com-munity concern is important, but it needs tobe balanced by financial responsibility.

“We should really be looking to select thebest leaders we can find in these very uncer-tain times,” John Cardis, a current boardmember, said. He said someone, like himself,with solid financial background and experi-ence on boards (corporate and community)will help provide a good vantage point for thefuture of the hospital. Cardis has been a partof the quality assurance efforts at the hospi-tal, gauging what services are done well andwhich are bad business.

He said a redesign of the hospital campusand service portfolio will allow it to offer thebest services at appropriate costs in the longterm. It’s important “not just how we manageour operations for the next 12 months, butalso for the next 12 years,” he said.

But the current board’s approach tofinances, and proposed expansion, has comeunder fire from several other candidates,who say a new outpatient facility and mergerwith TOPS would constitute a violation offree-market principles, or at least too great afinancial risk.

“The key is not creating some corporatejuggernaut in our local hospital,” PeterMoyer, a former hospital lawyer, said. “Themain thing to me is really bringing more of alocal community perspective to the board,the administration and hospital leadership.”

Herb Hazen said not only does the hospitalneed to reign in its spending, but has becomefrustrated with a hospital records policy thathe says withholds information that a commu-nity hospital should make public.

“This is a public facility, and I believethey’re treating it like their own privatedomain,” Hazen, a long time valley busi-ness owner, said. “They claim to be trans-parent, but they’re about as transparent asmud.” PJH

CANDIDATES AGREE THAT THE HOSPITAL NEEDS CHANGE.

The future of St. John’s



Planet Jackson Hole: Where were you born? When didyou come to the valley?

Mike Lance: I was born May 21, 1954, in San Mateo,California. My parents moved here in 1963. Theylived in a house right on Broadway, across the streetfrom what used to be Dr. Richardson’s office – the A-frame dentist’s office. It was a great place to growup.

PJH: You battled cancer a few years back. We met atRelay for Life.

ML: My wife Jackie and I have been active in Relayfor Life since 2003. It was six years ago today that Igot diagnosed with lymphoma.

PJH: And you are now cancer free?ML: They told me I’m cured, so I’m going to hold

on to that until they tell me different. PJH: It must have been hellish going through that.ML: You do what you gotta do. I chose to have a

positive attitude. Both Jackie and I believe our faithgot us through. We held on to the fact that win, loseor draw, I know where I’m going. It makes things awhole lot easier.

PJH: What is your faith?

ML: I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins.That’s why he came.

PJH: Family?ML: Jackie, my wife, was born and raised in

Lander. My dad is a Wyoming native. I have a 15-month-old grandson from my daughter Andrea and[her husband] Mike Lundy.

PJH: Back in August, did you have any idea anyone wasgoing to write you in for mayor in the primary?

ML: Only my wife. I was in Laramie taking our sonto school. Jackie called and said Patty Ewing hadcalled, and they were having a meeting the nextmorning. I had six write-ins and she wanted me toconsider running for mayor. At first, I thought, “I’mnot going to do this.” Been there, done that. Don’tneed the aggravation at this stage in life. [My son]and I had dinner that night and we were coming upwith all the logical reasons why not to [run formayor].

Jackie said, “Come home and we gotta pray aboutit.” Driving Laramie to Jackson, you have a lot of timeto talk to the Lord, but I still hadn’t convincedmyself. We went to a party that night and a lot of

people told me I should go for it. Sunday at church, Igot the same response. Jackie and I both prayedabout it and she said maybe this is an opportunityGod’s opening up for you, and I think you ought todo it.

I’ve always considered myself a public servant. Icertainly don’t do a lot of things for myself. If therereally is this groundswell of people who are dissatis-fied with what’s going on, and there seems to be, Iguess maybe I’m it.

PJH: Kids are important to you.ML: I try to do a lot of things for kids. Jackie had a

daycare here for 22 and a half years in our house. Welove kids. We have the neighbor kids over here allthe time, playing in our yard, and we look out forthem. They go next door and the neighbors look outfor them. We all kind of look out for each other likesmall neighborhoods do. That’s not going to happen,basically, in an apartment or condo setting down-town.

Kids need a place to be kids if we are going to havea kind of community. If we are going to have peopleworking on temp visas, and skids here for a season,

Mike Lance on why he should be mayor.Mayor Mark Barron responds.

BY JAKE NICHOLS

The Challenger

aybe Mike Lance lives in the past. He likes what heremembers there, anyway. Like late night, hanging on acrackling AM radio signal, catching the last of HarryCarey’s play-by-play for a Cardinals game on KMOX. Or

sepia-toned images of kids playing in the backyard on swing setsand monkey bars.

Those were simpler times, when deals were done with a hand-shake over a milkshake. For Lance, lately, too many big money dealsare made with headshake. Why so tall, so fast, so much?

“We are not the same as we were 20 years ago, or 30 years ago,”the 54-year-old admits. “But we don’t have to totally give in to someof these things, either.”

Now, Lance gets his beloved Giants baseball on a crystal clear XMRadio while he travels the state working for WYDOT. And swingsets? They’re a museum artifact, gone with the backyard lost whenparadise was paved for a parking lot.

So when the recent grandfather found out he was heir to a grass-roots movement to make him mayor, he said yes – though not rightaway. Yes, to a sense of community. Yes, to Jackson kids and theirfuture. Yes, to yesterday.

Can he win? Planet JH grabbed some porch stoop with the man who would be

mayor on his tranquil neighborhood street. He spoke to us candid-ly about his fight against cancer, the woman in his life, and hisplans to take Jackson into the future by backing off just a little.

and the young people that are going to live here for twoor three years and move on; yeah, they can live in anapartment above the four-story hotel, because theydon’t need a place for kids to stay.

That’s one of the biggest things I see about next door[810 West]. These kids got no place to play. They play outin the middle of the parking lot. There’s no grass, noplace for a swing set or to throw a baseball around.That’s like inner city stuff. Maybe that’s what peoplewant. I don’t think so.

To be able to give the next generation the opportuni-ty to stay here is important. If we don’t provide achance for our kids to stay here, you lose the history.And we are already losing that.

PJH: Jackson Hole likes to bill itself as: “The last and thebest of the Old West.” You travel all around the state work-ing for WYDOT. What do they call us outside of TetonCounty?

ML: Snooty, rich jerks. What really drives me crazy is75 percent of the people who live in Teton County, if youask them how to get to Sundance, they couldn’t tell you.

PJH: They’d think you mean the film festival.ML: Yeah. I went to UW, then to Casper College, and

got my degree there. I’ve got friends all over the state. Ican’t go to a town in Wyoming that I don’t know some-body.

Mike Sullivan – when he was governor – calledWyoming a “small city with long streets.” That’s thegreat thing I like about Wyoming. I don’t want to leaveWyoming, when Jackie and I retire. I just like the atti-tude of Wyoming people. They have a lot of independ-ence, and I might disagree with you, but that don’tmean I can’t go have a cup of coffee with you. We’ve lostsome of that here.

PJH: Realistically, what are your chances of winning? Thecurrent mayor is pretty popular.

ML: I wouldn’t have gotten in this thing if I didn’tthink I could win. This isn’t a protest. This is me sayingI’m ready to step up with a different prospective on howthe town of Jackson ought to be run.

PJH: You know Mark Barron?ML: I’ve known Mark Barron since he moved here. I

used to umpire softball games, and Mark was a catcher.That’s how we first met. We’ve been friends for a longtime. His daughter and my son graduated high schooltogether. I coached his son in baseball. We used to go tochurch together. We’ve been friends for however longMark’s been here, probably 35 years.

PJH: The Mayor has preferred building up rather thanbuilding out. He has been practicing smart urbanism. It’s amass transit-friendly, neo-gentrification that increases densi-ty in the heart of town to avoid sprawl. If Jackson must grow,is that the right plan?

ML: We have to grow. Unless you are going to putgatekeepers at the town limits, and that’s just not goingto happen. South Park, the Porter Estate, is really theonly place to go.

PJH: Did you like the Tetons Meadows Ranch proposal?ML: It was too dense. It had a lot of inherent negatives

that I don’t think could be overcome. Credit the Porterfamily and the Lockharts and Gills. I know, from myknowledge of the families they’re not going to do some-thing that’s not in fitting with the community. Therehave been no better stewards of what we’ve got thanthose families.

I like the concept of gap housing: trying to get some ofthese people who have left to move back. It is kind of theAmerican way, where you buy and build equity andmove up until you get to a place you want to be. A lot ofpeople my age have been able to do that. Right now,there’s not a whole lot of opportunity to make thosesteps because there aren’t many places to get in.

PJH: And a lot of what’s being built now is large, mixed-usedevelopments. Big hotels or vacation condos with spas,restaurants, and retail. Do they help or hurt?

ML: My view of planning is this: “Ok, you’re going tobring something in. You want this. Well, what does thecommunity get? Where’s the community benefit? Inallowing you to upzone this piece of property, or giveyou a variance on parking or housing, what are we get-

ting out of it?” Are we getting more jobs? We don’t needmore jobs.

PJH: It’s easy to say you want to curb growth – in yourcase, large commercial growth specifically – but then you getinto office and after a while, some of the shiny new develop-ments might look pretty good. A developer jumps through allthe hoops, dangles the carrots and pulls one over on you andthe council. It’s ‘development creep.’

ML: That’s the bottom line. Are you gonna do whatyou said you were gonna do? Are you who you professto be? In the last couple-three years the amount of largecommercial growth that’s been proposed and approveddowntown is totally changing the face of our town.

PJH: Let’s talk specifics. You have been critical of PineGlades, the development on Snow King that requires diggingJackson’s first traffic tunnel. It’s an eyesore now, but develop-er Dave Taylor has promised to ‘leave-no-trace’ when it’scompleted.

ML: I hope for their sake and for Manuel’s [Lopez,part-owner of Snow King Resort] that the revegetationand clean up there is done properly and holds. I’m wor-ried about a wet spring and how much of that dirt isactually going to stick on that concrete?

And I keep coming back to community benefit. Puttinghow ever many multimillion-dollar homes on a hillsidethat’s 25-percent grade – what is that about? The guys Iwork with at WYDOT aren’t going to live there. Anybodythat’s lived here for any amount of time knows that thenorth side of Snow King is the coldest place in the coun-ty. You might have great vistas and seclusion, but thesun don’t shine there.

PJH: How about the Mills Hotel development – a makeoverof the Painted Buffalo Inn into a four-story hotel?

ML: That development is just too much. Four storiesis just too much. The town, over the years, has foughttooth-and-toenail to limit heights for a reason. You losethe sense of character of the community when youchange it. Just because a guy paid too much for a pieceof ground, we don’t have to subsidize him by lettinghim build wall-to-wall and four stories tall.

PJH: I have family in to visit me every fall. They shop hereand bring some money to the local economy. They used to stayat the Painted Buffalo Inn for about $69 to $89 a night. Theycould never afford the Mills, now. This fall, they may not comeat all. The Town of Jackson probably won’t miss their salestax contribution, but are we losing something more?

ML: If people want to stay in a fancy hotel, we’ve gotplenty of fancy hotels in Teton Village.

For Mike Lance to become Jackson’s next mayorhe will have to unseat three-term incumbent MarkBarron – the gregarious and high-profile businessowner has never faced an opponent since winningoffice in 2002. When Mike Lance received six write-in votes in the August primary and later declared hiscandidacy, Barron said publicly he welcomed thechallenge of a different perspective and theincreased dialogue a two-horse race would provide.

Planet Jackson Hole: Are we still the last andthe best of the Old West?

Mark Barron: There’s simply no place on theplanet like Jackson, Wyoming. From our hometown

square with elk antler arches and western board-walks, to the JH Rodeo, to the National Elk Refuge,Grand Tetons and Yellowstone; our home is like noplace on earth. Jackson Hole is extreme outdoorrecreation and world-class trout fishing. It’s wide openspaces and herds of antelope, elk and bison, blackand grizzly bear, mule deer and mountain lions. Doesthis make Jackson Hole the last and best of the OldWest? I’ll let others decide, I’m just lucky to be here.

PJH: Build-up vs. build-out. Explain your philoso-phy on where to put growth in the valley.

MB: Population grows here and elsewhere. Howwe manage it decides our future. My son, daughterand her fiancé are in their mid-twenties. They areworking hard to plant roots in the town they wereborn into. I will support them and others like them

to the best of my abilities. My focus is in town, withmore housing in every zone outside of single-familyneighborhoods and the town square. We in Jacksonenjoy unbelievable access to outdoor recreationand wildlife experiences, and we are mere minutesaway on foot or bike. For many, so are our jobs.This is smart and efficient, less expensive, and envi-ronmentally responsible.

PJH: I have family in to visit me in Jackson everyfall. They shop here and bring in some money to thelocal economy. They used to stay at the Painted BuffaloInn for about $69 to $89 a night. Now, with theapproval of the Mills development, they can’t afford tostay there. In fact, they couldn’t find an affordableplace to stay for the weekend anywhere in Jackson.Where is the ‘community benefit’ for this project?

PJH: But the town wants that revenue.Jackson competes with the Teton Village, no?

ML: People want to come to Jackson.They want to walk around the board-walks. They want to see Town Square.They want to go to the Cowboy Bar. Theywant to see the things that made Jacksonwhat it is.

PJH: Let’s say you win. On the council youhave Bob Lenz. He won’t approve four-storybuildings. Abe Tabatabai doesn’t like PMDsbuilding out lot line to lot line. If you got inthere, you three would be the majority voteand could effectively slow down some of thebigger things going on in town.

ML: That’s my hope. I’m not going tosay “no growth,” because that’s not realis-tic. If you own a piece of property intown, you have certain rights that areguaranteed by the underlying zoning. Youhave every right to build by what thoserules say. But you don’t have the right toa PMD approval. These projects comedown to community benefit and maybesome of them provide that, but you can’tpass that muster as far as I’m concerned.I’m not going to approve it.

PJH: You were a councilman from 1987 to1990. During that time, you were instrumen-tal in securing the Wayne May property forthe town.

ML: I went to Selma May, who used tobe Selma Sanford, Rudy Sanford’s mom.She’s known me since I was just a littlekid. So I had a relationship with them.We talked to them about buying a 35-foot piece of property so we could finishHansen Street.

PJH: They agreed, and then got cold feet.ML: Wayne said to me, “Well, we kind

of decided not to sell the property for theeasement.” So I asked Wayne, “If not thelittle piece, how about the whole thing?”He said he had always thought he wouldlike to see the property used as a park.Wayne didn’t have any kids; nobody toleave it to. We were right there in hiskitchen when one thing led to another

and after a little negotiating, we bought alittle over 11 acres for $400,000. In 1990,that property was maybe worth threemillion bucks. Who knows what it’sworth now.

PJH: Patty Ewing and Mike Whitcomb areheading up something called the East JacksonNetwork. They are looking to keep a little‘Mayberry’ in the neighborhoods of EastJackson. I have a feeling they’d all vote foryou.

ML: I’m hoping they will. Patty wasone of the ones who put together themeeting to get a candidate to run. I’veknow Patty for years. She was on theschool board when I graduated highschool. She taught my daughter highschool English.

They realize the effects of growth ontheir neighborhood and where the rootcause is coming from – there not beingany housing for the people who workdowntown. And then there’s more com-mercial growth exacerbating the needfor more housing. There were a lot ofempty lots in East Jackson and somegrowth there was inevitable but the den-sity that’s gone on there wasn’t neces-sarily inevitable.

PJH: What will be your governing style?ML: It comes down to listening and

hearing what the people are really say-ing. And if you throw something outthere and you get piled on about it, notbeing so tied up in it you are not willingto say, “Sorry, I might have made a mis-take, I misread the community.”

PJH: You never hear a politician say that.ML: It’s okay to say you’re wrong.

People appreciate that for the most part.If you make a mistake, man up and sayyou made a mistake.

PJH: If there was such a thing, who wouldyou tap as your vice-mayor?

ML: My wife. She’s certainly my bestfriend. She’s supplied me with somepretty good insight and advice attimes. PJH

MB: Our role as town leaders is notto say who can or cannot invest inupgrading or redeveloping their prop-erty; nor can we manage the marketprice of motel rooms. There are reason-ably priced motels in Jackson and themarket seems to be working very well.

PJH: What did you think of theTeton Meadows Ranch proposal?

MB: Given its sudden death by mora-torium, I hadn’t formed an opinion, but,up or down, the community would havebenefited if the public process had runits course. We would have movedpassed the rhetoric and the issues wouldhave been debated and that level of

education is beneficial to all.PJH: I know it is a ‘county issue,’ but

what is the future of the South Park area?MB: I hope that gets some atten-

tion during the Comprehensive Plansessions. I support in-town housingopportunities for several reasons, butmostly because people want to livein town, closer to their work. Withexisting infrastructure, in-town hous-ing, above commercial or stand-alone, is more efficient. It gets peo-ple out of their cars and on the bus,or on their bike or on their feet. Itactually relieves the congestioncaused by commuters. PJH

Inside the economic cloud thatenvelops our financial future lies thesilver lining of investment tax credit (ITC) for renewable energies. Thiscredit was folded into the $700-billionbailout bill by a few congresswomenand men.

For the next eight years, residentialand commercial taxpayers will beable to claim a 30 percent tax creditfor renewable energy installations.

This offers a significant incentivefor homeowners, many featured justthis week as unable to pay their utili-ty bills.

The previous renewable energy taxcredit had a cap of $2,000. If we wantto encourage homeowners to userenewable energy, this was hardly anincentive. The $2,000 cap will be lift-ed on December 31, 2008. So get tothe drawing boards and begin theNew Year thinking about how you canuse renewable resources to heat and

power your home or business!Denmark and Germany are two

countries that offer commercial andresidential incentives

to their residents. These incentiveshave boosted their economies, bothin terms of renewable energy indus-tries and green collar jobs.

According to a new economic studyby Navigant Consulting, Inc., “the 8-year extension of the ITC will create440,000 permanent jobs and unleash$325 billion in private investment inthe solar industry”.

This could not have come at a bet-ter time. This is the moment for ourindustries and jobs to come back tothe U.S. It is also time for each home-owner to find a way to cut their car-bon emissions by conserving first andthen looking at how they can employrenewable energy second. Most of usneed financial incentives to change; atax credit is a good start. PJH

FILMMAKER’S SLED TRACES DEEP TRACKS ACROSS AMERICA.

by Troy Kavanagh

University students of“evolve.revolve.” held a freepublic screening in LaramieThursday night of documen-tarian Todd Darling’s A SnowMobile for George: A Film withBuffalo, Fish, Cowboys, andFire Trucks.

The filmmaker was inattendance in support of hislatest documentary thatfocuses – at least, initially –on the Bush administra-tion’s deregulation of a pre-viously proposed phase-out of an oldsnowmobile industry juggernaut, the two-stroke engine.

In the film, Darling hitches up his ownbull-horned two-stroke “Sindy” and pulls itfrom California to Washington D.C., witha notable pit stop in snowmobile sanctu-ary, West Yellowstone, and Wyoming’sPower River Basin.

“When I went to Wyoming,” he toldKBOO FM in Portland, Ore., “that’s whenthe film took a serious turn.The snowmobileis kind of a symbol ... a small, tiny exampleof how the government has operated withsomething that we can call deregulation.”

With that, Darling’s voyage soonfocused on environmental implicationslarger than current snowmobile engineproduction standards still some 50 yearsin the past. Rural Wyoming ranchersapproached the filmmaker with a storythey felt was going largely unheard. Whilelistening to their stories, the film chroni-cles the deteriorative and erosive abuses ofcoal bed methane extraction from under-neath the ground surface of homesteadedlandowners, handed down from genera-tion to generation.

“I have to say that it was a privilegemeeting people like those ranchers,”Darling gushed after the film’s release.

Under Wyoming homesteading laws,only the surface of the land is deeded tothe landowner. The government owns allsubterranean mineral rights. Along withdestroying the most valuable resource toranching and arid climate survival, water,administration deregulation rose to thesurface again when former second-rankingDepartment of the Interior official andBush appointee, Steven Griles, suppressed

a few key environmental regulations, espe-cially with regard to water. Incidentally,shortly after the film’s release, Griles, aformer energy lobbyist, received a 10-month prison sentence for obstructing aSenate investigation into convicted andcorrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

“Thousands of wells have been drilled injust a few short years,” Darling reportedon the air, “and in some cases, ranchershave lost their water well ... roads cut allover their land, pipes, power lines, reallydestroyed - in many cases - the land.”

With Darling’s peel-slowly-and-seeapproach, the film takes on an episodicpace, following the scars remaining inthe wake of the Bush administration’strail of deregulated national policy. Asort of connect-the-dots, from theDepartment of the Interior’s mismanage-ment of the water f lows of Oregon’sindustry-rich Klamath River for keyRepublican political advantage to theWhite House’s post-Sept. 11 suppressionof language cited in the EnvironmentalProtection Agency’s immediate releaseregarding public safety and health con-cerns following the attack.

“The word ‘deregulation,’ it should bea buzzword to you,” Darling warned overKBOO. “Just look under the surfacebecause in this little political package ofderegulation that they’re selling you,there’s probably shoddy science,favoritism, and they’re just giving awayour resources to their buddies.”

The film will be shown at Montana StateUniversity in Billings, Mont. on Oct. 17. Toschedule a screening, or for more informa-tion go to http://www.asnowmobileforge-orge.com. PJH

Early wintry weather has some folksdusting off their planks and boards. Here’sa little something to ‘boost your hits’ fromRopeways.net: “The Big One is Back,December 2008.” The headline from the‘skinet’ site out of Bad Hofgastein,Austria, was slathering over the new aerialtram at JHMR that Ropeways said, “willcement Jackson Hole as the top ski desti-nation in North America.”

“It should help finance future coal tech-nologies and hopefully make those morefinancially viable than they are rightnow,” Brad Enzi said when he found outthe Wall Street bailout bill signed intolaw last week was sweetened with taxcredits for America’s largest finite energyresource: coal. Enzi is vice-president ofgovernmental affairs for North AmericanPower Group and the son of seniorWyoming U.S. Senator Mike Enzi.

Wyoming is home to the largest, mostaccessible coal fields in the nation. Thestory was in the Star-Trib over the weekend.

Another in the long line of snow jobsthat each help increase traffic – bothtourist and second-home market – to thevalley appeared in the Sunday NY DailyNews. Michael Nasser sounds a little lateto the party in his Lifestyle piece thatuncovers the “incredibly scenic little cor-ner of Wyoming” that is JH.

We were tickled, however, to see localsoul reader Carol Mann mentioned.Nasser found out from her that he waspresent at the discovery of Tutankhamen’stomb. The real revelation, though, wasNasser’s mention of Planet JH.

Excerpt: “[Y]ou’ll be shocked to dis-

cover that the valley is like a blue-stateisland in a sea of red-state dogma. A leafthrough the Planet Jackson Hole newspa-per gives an accurate portrait of thistown’s priorities: Right-to-life ads are faroutnumbered by those for the Hemp FilmFestival.”

Wyoming received good news and badnews regarding the current economic cli-

mate known technically as “crisis.”According to Forbes magazine, Wyomingis well diversified and hedged against anymarket f luctuations. A strong state econo-my and wise investments paint a fairlyrosy picture for the Cowboy State. Also,Local News 8 (Idaho) is reporting AAAsays gas prices will continue falling inWyoming.

The average price for a gallon of gaso-line in Wyoming has dropped below $3.41for the first time since April. DeniceHarris, a spokeswoman for the associa-tion, says the group expects that thenationwide average price for gasolineshould be near $3 a gallon beforeThanksgiving.

The bad news? Wyoming has thefourth-highest property taxes in thenation according to the 2009 StateBusiness Tax Climate Index issued by theTax Foundation. Residents and businessowners here pay a per capita rate ofabout $2,175; higher even than NewYorkers. The report, recapped in the WallStreet Journal, DID say Wyoming is thestate with the best “tax climate” for busi-nesses.

The Wyoming Department of Healthsays it was unable to pinpoint the source ofbubonic plague that infected a Boy Scoutfrom Connecticut who visited YellowstoneNational Park and other sites this summer.Because the youth travelled so widely in thestate, including stops in GTNP and theWind River Range, officials are doubtful ofever finding the location where the diseasewas contracted. The Scout has made a fullrecovery. We caught the item on WyomingPublic Radio. PJH

Basic Goals and Positions -St. John’s Hospital Board of Trustees

Privatization vs. Full Public Accountability.

This is a local community hospital owned by the people of Teton County, and

we should never forget that. I am against any continuing efforts to privatize

Hospital operations. If there are problems with “governance” involving the

elected Board of Trustees or the Administration, then we should work hard to improve in those areas.

But we should never throw fundamental democratic principles out the window, and we should never

reduce the accountability of the Board and the Administration to our community – accountability

through public elections and Wyoming sunshine laws.

Hospital leadership needs to get closer to the community in meeting local healthcare needs while

prudently controlling costs. The privatization effort has been divisive, distracting and expensive.

Housing.

I fully support Hospital efforts to acquire good affordable housing for Hospital nurses, techs and

certain other employees who need help the most. I do not support the recent use of Hospital and

Hospital Foundation capital to acquire housing for Hospital executives and doctors. The capital cost

for housing the Administrator was the equivalent of 2,000 local families donating over $1,000 each, to

provide housing for one person. The focus should instead be on a broader base of people who need help

the most.

Employee and Staff Morale.

The employees and staff represent the heart and soul of our local hospital and nursing home, and it

is of critical importance to treat them fairly – in terms of good compensation for nurses and techs, good

communication with Hospital leadership, and positive, responsive and friendly Hospital leadership.

Qualifications.

I have lived here in Jackson Hole with my family fulltime for over 28 years. I have experience regard-

ing Hospital affairs, based on over 17 years as counsel to the Board of Trustees.

Other important goals and my resume are included on the Campaign website.

GALAXY Arts, Events andEntertainment Calendar

by Robyn Vincent

Just near the base of the tram in 1972, Frank Londywas cranking out film screenings in the Teton Villagecafeteria. Catering to the cinematically starved, Londyhad traveled from St. Louis to this sleepy ski townwhere he said film cravings were rampant.

“There were no first-run movies available in thewhole state; everything was 6 to 8 months to a yearafter the national break,” Londy remembered.

Five years subsequent to his cafeteria ventures,Londy’s aspirations manifested into Jackson’s firstmovie house, Twin Cinema. Today, the local movie buffheads all three of the valley’s theaters along with an18-year tradition, Frank’s Film Festival.Revamping its name five years ago from the‘Fall Film Festival’ to what Londy said is an“alliterative, more personal title,” stemmingfrom a “joke around the office,” the festtrumpets independent films from sociallyconscious and foreign flicks to poignantlyfunny and heartfelt selections.

But to make the cut, every flick muststand up to Londy’s simple, yet logical, cri-teria. “I look for movies that are good – wellreviewed and universally acclaimed, butalso have commercial appeal,” he said. Films slated toscreen this year like Man on Wire – chronicling aFrench man’s audacious tight rope journey betweenthe twin towers of the World Trade Center in 1974 –garnered massive critical kudos, as well as localpraise during its screening at this year’s JacksonHole Film Festival (R.I.P.).

While carefully selecting each silver-screen con-tender, sifting through the duds and doldrums like adiamond thief, Londy has noted that the interpretativeplots and messages, often reliant on the audience todetermine, differentiates fest flicks from bombasticHollywood blockbusters.

“The audience has a responsibility,” Londy

remarked. “These are not simple movies; thefilmmakers don’t always tell you what themovie is about, it’s not wrapped up in a niceneat package.” Rather, it’s up to the viewer toprobe and examine a film’s sometimesobscure nucleus, Londy explained.

But not all of the films set to screen atFrank’s Film Festival are intensely intellectualor social commentaries. Films like BottleShock - based on a true story about NapaValley wineries and their trek to global noto-riety - and Outsourced – a comical narrativeon one man’s forfeiture of his customer serv-ice job to an Indian call center – offer more

playful, lighthearted entertain-ment.

Londy’s cinematic obsession,particularly for indie flicks is whatfuels the annual festival. But sur-prisingly, the local movie hound’sindie film love never seems totranslate into the regular “nowplaying” lists in the valley. “Everynow and again I would show anarts or independent film and noone would come,” Londy

recalled. “But if you show a whole bunch ofthese movies at once, it creates an energy,the same way that shopping centers do witha bookstore and a yogurt shop and a coffeeshop - they all help each other, rather than afreestanding coffee shop,” Londy said,adding that the festival “creates some kind ofa synergy amongst all of the films.

“I know if I brought Gonzo (a bio piece on HunterS. Thompson to be screened at this year’s fest) hereand just played it [by itself], nothing would happen.”

Other films on the ‘08 roster include Tell No One, anedge-of-your-seat French thriller; Elegy, a provocativelove story between a respected professor and his stu-

dent; and Frozen River, a desperate tale of a poverty-stricken woman who enlists herself in an illegal immi-gration ring to pay the bills.

Frank’s Film Festival begins tonight and runs until theend of the month. All screenings are at the Teton Theatre.For show times visit www.franksfilmfestival.com or call733-4939. PJH

The title of this album ringstrue; this is dance music. TheBlack Kids craft incredible pop

sensations throughout their debut album, songs thatdeserve to be played in clubs and enjoyed by drunkenrevelers everywhere. If you can imagine Robert Smithof the Cure getting wasted and coming up with a popalbum, this would be it. Fun, fast paced, and infinite-ly hooky, Partie Traumatic just wants to have a goodtime; especially on tracks like “I’m Not Gonna TeachYour Boyfriend How To Dance With You” and “Hit TheHeartbrakes.” This is a pop album you can feel goodabout and not hide from your friends.

THEGOODS

Leo Kottke is coming to town.The Georgia-born Minnesotan will bring his quirky

rhythms and wit to Jackson for the first time in five yearsat the Center Theater this Saturday.

Widely known as one of the best guitarists of ourtime, Kottke is a fingerpicker with a percussive, high-energy style

His youth was seasoned by jazz, blues, folk and a stintspent hitchhiking and performing on the street. The min-strel in him still lives, as good stories and absurd mono-logues bring humor to all of his live performances.

Legend has it that in his early years, he wanted to beknown as an instrumentalist, and he eschewed the “folk”category through which record labels wanted to markethim. But Kottke’s music is a very significant piece ofAmericana. The steely rhythm of train engines and bigrigs cannot be separated from his sound, and he hasbeen influenced by a gamut of American genres. Kottkegrew up in several states, including Athens, Georgia andMuskogee, Oklahoma; two towns on either side ofAmerica’s greatest wealth of early Jazz, Bluegrass andBlues. When he was a kid, he tried his hand at the trom-bone and fiddle before settling on guitar. His career tookoff in Minnessotta – completing the triangle around thebreadbasket of American music.

For Kottke, the energetic pickingstyle that blended those influencescame a little too naturally and hedeveloped tendonitis in his fingers.He adopted a more classical pick-ing technique to soften the damageon his fingers, but still put energyinto the strings. The ebullient styleis loud, and it could be partiallyattributed to the hearing loss hesustained in a firecracker mishap,and later during firing practice inthe National Guard. But more thanlikely, it can just be attributed to theangst of a high-energy genius whohas to get it out.

Kottke is an inimitable musicalpersonality who is still touring like a young man at the age of 63.He has been releasing albums since 1971, but has only recent-ly become comfortable with improvisation. After collaboratingwith Mike Gordon of Phish – the last of the Jam bands – Kottkefinally decided to try a little ad libbing during his performances.

His most recent album Try and Stop Me, was recorded inbetween his two different collaborations with Gordon. Despitehis recent flirtation with mainstream counter-culture, Kottke istrue to his roots as a one-of-a-kind American performer, andonly better for the experience.

Leo Kottke performs 7:30 p.m., Saturday at the Center for theArts. For tickets call the box office at 733-4900.

■A new local arrangement will take place of One Ton Pig

during the regular Bluegrass Tuesday slot at the Wort Hotel’sSilver Dollar Bar.

Billed as a honky-tonk variety band,Bootleg Flyer featuresThe Miller Sisters andMandatory Air guitaristJustin Smith, as well asDave McCann on bassand Christopher Smithon drums. Karee MillerJaeger (guitar) andCandice MillerKwiatkowski (man-dolin) have opened upfor Buddy Guy, BluesTraveler, Melvin Seals,and The Wreckers andrecently spent fouryears singing with

Mandatory Air. Rooted in folk and country music, the Miller Sisters report

that they are excited to grab the bluegrass slot at the SilverDollar. The band draws from a range of country and rocktunes by Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, TomPetty, Blind Mellon, Creedence, Led Zeppelin, as well as aslew of original numbers.

Smith, who was a member of One Ton Pig, has headed anumber of texture-carving Jackson bands, from jam to ole-timey, on the classic Telecaster. McCann – listed in theColorado Country Hall of Fame – has been playing profes-sionally since he was 11 years old. Christopher Smith had anotable four-year run with his band Backstreet, the houseband at The Venetian in Las Vegas.

Bootleg Flyer begins the weekly Silver Dollar honky-tonk,7:30 to 11 p.m., Tuesday. worthotel.com or 733-2190. PJH

Leo Kottke strums his guitar for Jackson audiences, Saturday.

CRUMBS IN MY ’STACHEFood news by Ben Cannon

Dub-side D.O.G. (Yeah, you know me)With the early snowstorms, at least a

handful of antsy souls are reported tohave hiked and skied/snowboarded atopTeton Pass. Doubtlessly some of thosewinter season zealots made preseasonturns that sliced right through the powderonto the dying October wild grass.(Hopefully, it was grass they were on.)

And though it will be some weeks beforebackcountry riders are ascending in veri-table droves to that celebrated backcoun-try access point, I could not help butimagine what is destined to become alocal tradition of sustenance – a culturalphenomenon even – for both West Sideworkers and pass-bound snowriders.

I’m talking, my friends, about theprospect of early mornings in Wilson withthe newest greasy spoon there, the D.O.G.West. You read correctly: Jackson’s irie-est daytime burrito and sandwich standnow has a sister location, with a slightlyexpanded menu and a plan to dispensedozens of breakfast burritos every day withan easy grab-and-go system.

D.O.G. West, located in Wilson’s ‘Pass

Gas’ Exxon station, opened Oct. 1, andhas since slung literally hundreds ofbreakfast burritos, said owner ChristianSenf. The majority of them so far havebeen consumed by the legions of con-struction crews passing through Wilsonevery morning.

But as winter sets in and the buildingseason tapers, so, too, will enough snowaccumulate for the backcountry ski sea-son to begin in earnest. And whereas theoriginal D.O.G. (for “Down On Glenwood”)built a solid business of call-in orders andwalk-up customers for its inexpensivegood food, D.O.G. West features a warm-ing case in which to stockpile the popularbreakfast burrito for those in a hurry. Theburritos – stuffed with egg, hash browns,cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, onionand tomato – come regular or “spicy” withchopped fresh jalapenos (be patient if,religiously, you already know this). “Meat”or “veggie” denotes the presence orexclusion of sausage, bacon and ham.

While D.O.G. faithful, many of whomcall-in orders and are thus well-acquaint-

ed with phrase, “be ready in 10 or 15 min-utes,” a culture of rushing to snow-cov-ered mountains may have precludedmany a January breakfast stop onGlenwood Ave. But the new Wilson loca-tion, tucked in a shiny new open kitchenin a corner of an ordinary gas station,should see hordes of hungry calorieburners – athletes and workers alike –throughout the seasons.

I grabbed a “meat spicy” from D.O.G.West on Monday morning, but did not eatit until I arrived back in Jackson. The tor-tilla was not quite soggy, but lacked thelightly toasted quality it usually has. Thatis probably a result of sitting in a foilwrapper for a little while – and the samething must surely happen while sitting ina food warmer, too. But hey, as we learnfrom most conveniences with food: youhave to give up something.

Now that I’ve spent more than 480words talking about breakfast burritos, Isuppose you should also know aboutother new items at D.O.G. West, namelythe ‘Kalifornian Burger’ with guacamoleand fried onion rings, an elk burger anda chicken cheese steak with barbequesauce and onions.

The rest of the D.O.G. menu, includingthe fine Philly cheese steak and hand-cut fries, is duplicated in Wilson. Hell,even I may get out of bed early to hit thepass. But, you know, D.O.G. West is pret-ty close to the lazier lift service of theVillage, too. PJH

The gallery’s founders – Travis Walker, Lisa Walkerand Tristan Grezko – decided that their core purposewas to bring artists together and foster a contemporaryart culture in Jackson, not to make money as an artgallery, Walker said.

“The goal is to create another outlet for contemporaryartists to gather and exchange information,” Walkerexplained. “Whether it’s coming in and reading about artin the library, talking to artists one on one while theywork, or seeing the example of another artists finishedwork in a show.”

A steady influx of new ideas, and ever-changing socialand economic currents will ensure that the nonprofitevolves on a day-to-day basis, Walker said. But theyloosely plan to function more like a gallery in the busysummer and winter seasons, and offer an experimental,collaborative work-space for local artists projects or res-idencies in the off-season.

“On the one side I want to present completed exhibi-tions,” Walker said. “And in another sense I want togive people a place a couple of times a year to justexperiment … with new techniques and new methods ofthinking.”

A library of seminal and significant art books will offera place for people to come in, get a cup of coffee andeducate themselves by reading or talking about art.

Potential resident artists would have open-studio hoursto demonstrate processes and talk about their work.

A number of local artists are already involved as char-ter board members. Others are participating in Artlab’sfirst collaborative off-season project. In the last week, theArtlab has become a studio for artists to learn printmak-ing techniques like woodblocks, solar plates and classicetchings.

Board-member Thomas Stimpson said that the Artlabwill also be “growing artists;” equipping them with themedia tools - like computer, web and marketing skills - tobecome professional artists.

Those who want to support the organization with art,volunteering or monetary donations - or just want tocheck it out - are invited to stop by the Artlab, 135Cache, #5, next to Teton Thai.

■The sign at the old Chevron station was covered in

black plastic when Bland Hoke Jr. decided to convert itinto a public venue, called Artspot.

While the sign will be out of use during the construc-tion of a new bank, Hoke will return to Jackson andbecome the Center of Wonder’s first “Wonder Public ArtAmbassador.”

In addition to helping groups like YARD and pARTnerswith student projects, Hoke will be responsible for publicart installations and the creation of a social network of artenthusiasts who get together for on-the-fly art collabora-tions – like hiking up a butte on a full moon to create afleeting sculpture.

“We’re really excited to see what comes out of this,”Center of Wonder director Carrie Geraci said. “Thereare lots of cities you can go to … where you literally walkaround every corner and there’s some art surprise there,and we’re really hoping to create that culture of wonder

and surprise [in Jackson].”When she learned that the bank would be built, Geraci

was afraid that the Artspot would be a goner. ButColeman Andrews and Rocky Mountain Bank steppedup and promised the space could be used for public artexhibitions when the bank is finished. They also fundedHoke’s Ambassadorship.

■Five paintings that each had a turn on the Artspot are

going to be auctioned at Lyndsay McCandlessContemporary at the 5spot for the Artspot party thisweekend. The large paintings are around 5 x 10 ft. Theworks include Ravens by Camille Davis and Olaus Linn,and Native American Indian Chiefs by Patrice Tullai.

Rotating Superstructure, a band of ahead-of-the-curvehigh school kids, will play their brand of rock at the show.Proceeds will go to stipends for artists creating public art.

The party is from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the LMC, 130 S.Jackson Street. Call 734-0570 for more info. PJH

THE TETON ARTLAB BECAME A NONPROFIT ON SEPT. 28.


LIVINGWELLTeresa Griswold

A rhythmic pulse reverberatedthroughout the Teton Wellness Festivalset by the metronomic sound of a drumin Friday night’s opening performance.So when a steady snowfall preventedSunday’s keynote, Dr. David Simon,from landing, the festival continuedwithout skipping a beat.

The takeaway put some of the week-end’s lessons to the test.“Peace is only a thoughtaway,” from Dr. Jill BolteTaylor’s keynote addresswas one. From my experi-ence, most peoplepassed. Observing howattendees relaxed overbreakfast after learningthat Simon’s workshopwas cancelled and howfestival organizersaccepted the situationwith grace amplified whatthis festival is about – liv-ing a healthy, balancedlife that flows.

These and other les-sons were shared with me throughoutthe weekend. Here are more:

■ Expect the UnexpectedCristina Hanson from Idaho Falls,

began making some transformationalshifts this year including learning Reikiand opening to a new way of being.Midway through the wellness weekendHanson told me, in every class, “I wentin thinking I knew what it was about, butthen took away something differentthan what I thought I would take away.”■ Food for Body and Soul

Ward Gray from Sun Valley, Idaho,was touched spiritually by KonstatinKajsarov from Macedonia, who present-ed a combination of OrthodoxChristianity and energy healing. He wasmoved by how prayer helps establishinner peace. “It strengthens the con-nection to God and helps strengthenthe spirit and soul,” he said.

Ward also found nutritionist PaulPitchford’s presentation interesting.“He got into diet and our connection tofood – where it comes from, how it isprepared, and how to eat it,” he said. “Ireally liked learning that there arethese different diets – plant based, ani-

mal based, and everyone is different.Some people might need some animalproducts and others might not deal wellwith animal products and some mightneed both,” he said.■ Coming Together

Massage therapist June Bailey cameto the festival from Riverton, with hersister Angie Homec. Bailey said she

learned the most bysharing with other atten-dees and learning fromtheir experiences. Shesaid in the “Scream andRun Naked” session,everything she’s beenworking on came togeth-er. In it she learned to befearless and to step outand enjoy life.

Homec is in theprocess of changingjobs, and she said thateverything she learnedsupported her in thatchange like taking smallsteps that lead to bigger

goals surrounding prosperity.■ Hope

Valerie Williams from Idaho Fallssaid Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s keynote pres-entation gave her hope and knowledgeto better care for her 88-year-old moth-er who is hospitalized, learning fromthe brain scientist who is “stroke tri-umphant,” that there is an intrinsic con-nection with her mother even when sheis not able to communicate verbally.■ Move Your Body to Quiet Your Soul

Linda McHuron of Jackson told meshe learned how to quiet her mind inorder to meditate. “For me to meditate Ineed to get the excess energy out ofmy body, and then I can quiet my mind.I was able to meditate after doing theQi Gong exercises today, when before Icould not,” she said.■ Interconnections

Tina Welling of Jackson learnedhow to integrate the physical andspiritual aspects of living, connectingeating well, the energy of money,healing, and body movement. “Theyall add something,” she said. “It isabout the interconnection, the inte-gration with everything else in every day life,” she said.

Lessons learned at the Teton Wellness Festival

Music therapist, ChristineStevens, opened theTeton Wellness Festivalwith a rhythmic beat.


Rupert Sheets woke up covered in his own wretch onTuesday, after spending the better part of the weekend andmost of Monday attending the Gros Ventre Well Festival.

“Oh, I wouldn’t say it was the ‘better part’ of the lastweekend,” Sheets said. “It was more like someone had pro-grammed a weekend full of exercises in self-loathing andtorment with me especially in mind.”

Sheets’ one-room Jackson apartment was a clutter ofspent bottles, fitness pamphlets, Buddhist meditation CDsand half-size promotional Yoga mats. Wearing only asarong, Sheets gathered empty bottles of kombucha teaand tall empty cans of Miller High Life. The room reeked ofstale domestic beer and the butts of hand-rolled Dutchtobacco cigarettes.

Sheets attended Well Fest on work assignment. As afreelance journalist for UnloadYourOtherMind.com, whichadvertises itself as a “Post New Age” Web site, Sheets esti-mated he spent nearly 29 hours during the Well Fest,attending seminars with titles like “Preventing Bad KarmaWith a Self-Righteous Diet,” and “Namasté: Say Hello toYour Solid Wastes Once and for All.”

“At first I was like, ‘man there are some hot chicks here– definitely some cougars, too – bring it on,” Sheets said,absently rubbing the irritated-looking skin around whatappeared to be a very freshly gotten tattoo of the word“Namaste.” “But then I just couldn’t take much more of it.

You see, I’m, like, really impressionable. And I sometimesdrink a lot.”

Sheets said he considered himself open-minded when hebegan the Well Fest, and even participated in a creative inter-pretation dance circle during an opening ceremony.

“By day two, I was hanging out with this really fit Pilatesinstructor bird, named Nasheema. She looked Scotch-Irishand told me she was born in Connecticut.”

But at the end of each day, after hours of meditation,Pilates exercises and even receiving a series of organiccoffee enemas, Sheets would abandon the pursuits ofphysical and spiritual wellbeing in favor of chasing intoxi-cants and other delights of the flesh.

“Dude, I was going to try to really pour myself into thisexperience, but my buddies were texting me about thesesweet house parties going down in East Jackson,” saidSheets, pumping his fists in the air to pantomime dancing.

On Monday morning, Sheets saw his love interest,Nasheema, in the hands of another man’s Yoga instruction.

“Man, that one dude with the necklace made of petrifiedTibetan yak testicles, or whatever, was all over her,” Sheetssaid. “I walked out of there really sad and tough on myself.”

Skipping the final keynote address, Sheets walked home,but cannot remember much after that.

Asked if he planned to write the online article about WellFest, Sheets was noncommittal. “Whatever,” he said. PJH

Local man loses weight, self-esteem at Well Fest

Hog Island philosophic principles There was a cute girl at Shades yes-

terday. She sat in a corner drinkingcoffee and reading Critique of PureReason, by the German philosopherImmanuel Kant. It was my lucky day.Pursuing philosopher chicks providesgreat sport, and due to their humanis-tic and bohemian tendencies, if youwin one they provide hours of amuse-ment without any of the emotionalclinging one typically associates withtheir gender.

Despite an outer core that somemight consider under-evolved, I am oneof the most influential postmodernphilosophers in all of Hog Island.Philosophers sit around thinking aboutultimate order in metaphysical principleto discover universal meaning. I’vedone that many times – I call it takingdouble shots of tequila.

For the untutored, philosophy mayseem unpractical. Nothing could be far-ther from the truth. For instance, let’ssay you are hunting and you see an elkstanding on the wrong side of theboundary between Snake RiverSporting Club and the Forest Service. Atrue philosopher would immediatelythink of Jacques Derrida and “post-struckalism” theory. Post-struckalists

believe such socially constructed linesare a destructive force, servers as acultural divisive force that not onlyunnaturally separates a homogeneouselk culture, but is creating an un-judgedhierarchy between elk on each side ofthe line. Therefore, there exists an

imperative moral obligation to shoot theelk and drag it quickly across the line.

Another example is Plato’s inventionof philosophical rationalism, whichholds the belief that pure forms andtrue reality exist outside of experience.While this might sound a bit academic,it comes in handy at closing time in theCowboy Bar when pickings are slim.

My deep understanding of philosoph-ical tendencies tells me I don’t seek toscore philosopher girls for my ownhedonistic gratification. Rather, as astudent of Ayn Rand’s Objectivism, I

must seek to fulfill my rational self-interest. And, as the Shades philoso-pher chick is wearing a black slipunder her dress, my rational self-inter-est is self-evident.

“Good morning,” I told her using aslight German accent. “I see you areeating a ginger scone with powderedsugar. Does the sugar cling to thescone or the scone to the sugar? Or isall reality an illusion?”

She stared at me a moment and Inoticed her coffee cup was empty.“Want another cup?” I asked.

“Thank you,” she said. “Please fill itup with no room for cream.”

“They serve half and half.” I told her.“I’ll fill it up with no room for half andhalf instead.”

Her eye glistened, and I moved in forthe kill. “Do you know the differencebetween a duck?” I asked. She shookher head. “Nothing,” I told her. “Bothlegs are the same length, especially theleft one.” We laughed uproariously.

“You’re an Existentialist?” she asked.“By day; a follower of Nietzsche at

night.”She blushed. “Greatness instead of

goodness?” she asked.“Always,” I told her. PJH
