t has been a lively couple of weeks around Jackson Hole, weather-wise, with plenty of thunderstorm activity and a thermometer doing more ups and downs than a ride at the Teton County Fair. We should be into the hottest weeks of the year here in Jackson at the end of July, but recently there have been some days that might lead one to believe that we are going to by-pass August and skip right on through to the fall season.

Can you believe that we haven’t seen a high temperature of 80-degrees in town since the Fourth of July? According to the official thermometer on the north end of town, the high temperatures have remained either in the 60’s or 70’s every day for the last two weeks. What the Brrrrrrr?

I usually reserve this space for talking about how cold the low temperatures get in Jackson. However, this past week we broke a record for an unusually cold high temperature. On Saturday July 18th the high temperature in Jackson was only 63 degrees, on the official thermometer. That busts the old record cold high temperature for that date by six degrees. The old record was 69 degrees set back on July 18th, 1949. A record that stood for 66 years!

THE BUZZ The faces of Blair If residents of Blair Place Apartments are forced from the valley, just who do we stand to lose? BY ROBYN VINCENT @TheNomadicHeart This marks the first piece in a weekly series spotlighting vital community members who may leave Jackson in response to the more than 40 percent rent increase at Blair Place Apartments.
ROBYN VINCENT
I
t’s Monday morning and a grey sky lingers over the maze of three-story buildings that house Blair Place Apartments’ 294 units. A cluster of ebullient kids and a few parents congregate around a school bus as a young girl, seemingly unaware of the dire situation now confronting her family, prances to the bus armed with a sparkly pink backpack. When the housing crisis first dug its claws into the valley, Blair Place was an affordable option for many folks including families, teachers, nurses and police officers. Rents at the apartment complex remained affordable, allowing residents to plant roots, while single-home properties and condos around the valley skyrocketed. However, many Blair Place residents, like caseworker Jorge Moreno, now say that when their lease expires and the exorbitant increase is instated (the rent on Moreno’s two-bedroom apartment will rise from $1250 to $1800), they will surrender to the housing crisis and leave the valley for good. Married with two young children, Moreno is a valley do-gooder who, in addition to the casework he performs for Latino Resource Center, volunteers as a translator for various nonprofits and attorneys. He also is a board member of the Doug Coombs Foundation, which helps get low-income kids onto the slopes, and is a veritable civil servant to the Latino community. He helps prepare taxes and register voters and has even knocked on doors to warn Latino residents when their homes were going to be demolished to make way for a Marriott hotel. To know what Moreno has endured here, to know what sparked his altruistic trajectory, makes it all the more difficult to imagine this valley fixture gone. In 2012, Moreno was working as a diesel mechanic. For extra work in the off-season, he took a job working nights at the Jackson Whole Grocer. While riding his bike to work one summer eve, the Mexico City native was blindsided by a motorist. Plastered to the
Valley do-gooder Jorge Moreno says he may have to uproot the life him and his family planted in Jackson after Blair Place Apartments announced a sharp rent hike in the midst of a historic housing shortage. car’s windshield, Moreno struggled to lift himself from a bed of smashed glass. But the driver had other plans for him. The motorist hit the throttle and Moreno’s body flew to the ground, smacking the pavement. “Then he drove right on top of me,” Moreno said. “The last thing I remember was hearing the sound of the tires against the asphalt.” Moreno woke up in a hospital bed, badly battered and bruised. Among his injuries were a broken arm, six broken ribs and a broken sternum. Dragged under the vehicle for 12 feet, Moreno’s body was bloody and raw where patches of flesh had been ripped away. Moreno, who did not have insurance at the time, pleaded with the nurse to release him from the hospital. After several days failing to pass the nurse’s “test,” which was to walk without immediately collapsing onto the ground, he was finally cleared to leave. But Moreno was far from healed. “I couldn’t get out of bed by myself for a month and a half after that,” Moreno said, explaining that the threat of mounting hospital bills, already at $60,000, urged his hasty departure and left him with no other choice. Unable to work, Moreno and his family moved in with his parents, who were already grappling with their own financial woes. Although it went against everything he knew, he decided it was time to seek help. “When I was a kid, my parents had always taught me that if you need something you have to do it yourself,” he explained. The Community Resource Center cut
Moreno a check for $800. “It wasn’t a lot,” Moreno said, “but it was money I didn’t have at the time. It felt like they gave me a million dollars.” Meanwhile, as police and attorneys failed to bring the responsible motorist to justice, Moreno became increasingly disillusioned and withdrawn. With too much time on his hands, he decided to volunteer as a translator for the Community Resource Center and Latino Resource Center. “They helped me when I was in need so I wanted to give something back,” he said. And that’s when everything shifted for Moreno. “Helping others became the best therapy I could have from my accident,” he explained. “It became a part of me and I could not stop.” Sonia Capece is the executive director of the Latino Resource Center. She recognized Moreno’s passion to help people and offered him a case manager position. “After all that he personally went through, he still believes that positive change is possible,” she said. “Jorge is able to connect with individuals and help them evaluate options and pursue dreams. He is a strong believer in the value of getting involved and being an active member of the community.” Moreno, a self-taught English speaker, also began volunteering as a translator for several attorneys and the Teton County Access to Justice Center. “Jorge is invaluable to us,” said Carina Ostberg, executive director of Teton County Access to Justice Center. “He not only provides free translation for us – I only have
one other person who is willing to translate for free – , but he is also willing to do it on really short notice and under circumstances less than convenient to him and his family. I have met with him and clients at 8 at night, and he has translated via phone when he has been too ill to leave his bed. His dedication is amazing.” Moreno estimates he has volunteered about 300 hours of his time to translate for low-income clients of attorneys alone. And while he continues to advocate for folks who do not have a voice in the valley, he is pragmatic about the lack of representation that working class people face here. “Money has the loudest voice in Jackson,” he said. “They might not be able to hear us, but one day, they will see it.” Moreno worries that rising rents and a lack of housing will result in a radically altered community tapestry. “We’re going to have a place where people come here and spend money and then they leave and the lights are turned down,” he said. In the case of Blair Place Apartments, Moreno points a finger of blame in a different direction. “I think the Town of Jackson needs to regulate how much Blair [and other landlords] can raise the rent,” he said. “This is the last place people turned to for relief from the housing crisis. When my family and I got here, we were so grateful to find a place we could call home. Now we feel like we have lost control again.” PJH

THE BUZZ 2 The long list A string of Dems line up for a shot at Turley’s seat BY JAKE NICHOLS

R
eplacing Melissa Turley on the Board of County Commissioners will be an insightful exercise into all things politics. The process will reveal some strategy planning aspects of county Democratic party leadership, overall strength of its candidate pool, and most of all, how committed current commissioners are to the status quo or the “flatus blow.” The current field of 15 includes a good mix of civic leaders, nonpoliticians and nobodies. To effect change, and that seems to be the popular opinion, a nonpolitician like Pete Muldoon, Natalia Macker or Jim Fulmer would be the way to go but would the four seated commissioners opt for a maverick? Smokey Rhea might. Mark Newcomb might. But Paul Vogelheim and Barbara Allen would likely vote in someone who plays well with others. Macker, or Muldoon, who gleaned an enthusiastic online response from citizens after announcing his candidacy Thursday, probably have the best chance of winning a general election. They are popular with voters and, especially in Muldoon’s case, promise to be the bee in BCC bonnet. But that nonconformist posture will require the current commissioners to be willing to rock the boat. Mark Nowlin (who almost beat out Sara Flitner for mayor) and Paul Duncker (who spent years on the county planning commission) might be safe choices. Will the Democratic party provide the BCC with a list of traditionalist candidates or are fresh names more likely to rock the boat? A mixture of both in the three they choose to nominate will probably guarantee the innocuous candidate gets in.
Who’s who
Fifteen names have been officially submitted to leaders of the Teton County Democrats so far. They include Linda Aurelio, Len Carlman, Yves Desgouttes, Joe Diprisco, Paul Duncker, Greg Epstein, Jim Fulmer, Keith Harger, Chris Leigh, Natalia Duncan Macker, Pete Muldoon, Mark Nowlin, Phoebe Stoner, Tenley Thompson and David Vandenberg. Linda Aurelio is on the Open Space Council for the Jackson Hole Land Trust. She was appointed to the St. John’s Hospital Foundation’s board of directors in January of this year. Carlman is the executive director of the Snake River Fund. He was a partner in the Jackson law firm Hess Carlman D’Amours for many years. He also made a failed bid at the House District 16 seat in 2010. Desgouttes is a valley real estate agent. He

They have risen from the jobs that nobody else wants to some of their children graduating from college, “because most of them have more family loyalty than we have,” he said. Diprisco was the food services director for Teton County School District No. 1 until a few months ago. He has made no previous foray into politics. Epstein is a producer at Teton Gravity Research. His Facebook page is chock-full of important social concerns facing the local and global community. Harger is a longtime valley resident and architect. He was on the team that designed the Pine Glades development at the base of Snow King. Leigh is a criminal law attorney and was appointed to a part-time position with the Teton County Prosecutor’s Office last summer. Stoner is a member of the Parks and Recreation board. She is the naturalist program director at Spring Creek Ranch. Thompson is a resort biologist at Four Seasons Resort. She is also a professional photographer. Vandenberg is a real estate broker who also sits on the Jackson Planning and Zoning Commission. He once served as director of Friends of Pathways.
Who’s best?
It’s a difficult time to be replacing a commissioner. County and town leaders are nearing the finalization of the new Comp Plan. That would suggest a career politician might be more suitable. Still, a growing distrust and disgust with the recent bureaucratic blunders and ignorance of a housing crisis in the valley increases Muldoon’s stock significantly despite his lack of political pedigree. Who will play it safer – the BCC or the county donkeys? Democratic party leaders have admitted they are most interested in a candidate who will not only stick around after serving out Turley’s term, which is up at the end of next year, but one who is most likely to win an election to get appointed.

It might seem somewhat ironic that Jackson Hole is the home base for a “simplification” and “downsizing” movement focused on “tiny homes.” The valley’s current housing woes have been brought on, in part, by billionaires and millionaires out-buying and out-building each other for the biggest trophy home in the American West. But in acknowledging a minimalist movement, Jamie Mackay’s manufacturing company has been garnering national attention for its luxury mini-homes with high-end features. Starting at $82,000 a pop, the “BMW of the tiny house movement,” as Mackay calls them, boast stainless steel kitchen appliances, porches, gas fireplaces, multi-jet walk-in showers and possible LEED-certification status. Wheelhaus, the manufacturing company Mackay launched, has received mention in Country’s Best Cabins magazine and most recently in Forbes Life. Campers can check out and check in at the “caboose” model at Fireside Resort on Teton Village Road. Mackay has 23 total Wheelhaus cabins on the property in eight different models. Guests enjoy pet friendly accommodations with gas fireplaces, European goose down duvets, flat screen TVs and WiFi. And, should you choose to purchase a Wheelhaus unit later down the road, the company will cover the cost of your vacation.

Buffalo Bill wanted to be buried in Wyoming but he wasn’t. Or was he? A story in the Los Angeles Times cast doubt on the funeral and burial of the famous western showman that took place in 1917 in Colorado. Steve Friesen, director of the Buffalo Bill Museum, was interviewed by Times reporter John M. Glionna. His research looked into the conspiracy theory that Denver officials bribed relatives of Bill Cody in order to finagle a burial atop Lookout Mountain near Golden, Colo. Further rumors say a band of Wyoming faithfuls snuck into the Colorado funeral home, replaced Cody’s body with a looka-like and brought Bill’s remains to Cedar

Mountain, which is just outside the town of Cody that the western icon founded. Friesen isn’t buying it. “People in Cody have too much time on their hands,” Friesen, a Cody biographer and researcher said. “I’m glad they have cable TV up there. I don’t want to burn any bridges, at least not all at the same time.” Some diehard fans of Buffalo Bill say if Cody isn’t in Wyoming, they want him here. “Good luck — he’s encased in concrete,” Friesen quipped. “They’re going to have to make a heck of a lot of noise. And we’ll be here to take care of them.”
STDs on the rise in Wyoming
Wyoming Department of Health officials say the state is experiencing an alarming outbreak of gonorrhea. The number of cases reported in Wyoming so far this year (61) is double the number reported at the same time last year. The outbreak seems to be fueled by the transient workforce of the oil patch and coal mining areas in the Cowboy State. Natrona County leads the way with 13 reported cases. Laramie County went from six to 12 cases; Fremont County from one to six cases; and Carbon County from zero to four cases. Teton County placed fourth for the number of gonorrhea and HIV cases, 6th for cases of syphilis, 15th for chlamydia, 11th for Hepatitis B and 20th for Hep C.
Wyoming: Please don’t go
Many in Teton County are moving away due to the housing shortage and that’s only part of the problem that plagues statewide declines in citizenship. The governor’s office has noticed and launched a campaign to
lure workers to Wyoming. “We’ve got to make sure that we have the workers of tomorrow,” Governor Matt Mead said in an interview with The New York Times. Seeking to fill open jobs in fields including nursing and teaching, state officials initiated an Internet-based recruitment program called Wyoming Grown. Young Wyomingites leaving the state are encouraged to sign onto the program’s website. They later receive a personal letter from Mead urging them to reconsider. “It’s the personal touch that Wyoming can provide,” Mead said. “I didn’t want to just say, ‘We’re kind of interested in you coming back.’ I wanted to say, ‘I’m the chief executive of the state — I personally want you to come back.’”

The Brisbane Courier Mail ran a story by Rob McFarland on Jackson Hole’s Eric Orton. Orton’s coaching of Born to Run author Christopher McDougall has led to the runner’s popularity. Orton, 49, has since established the Mountain Running Academy in Jackson, offering running camps and private training sessions for experienced runners of all abilities, according to the Australian newspaper. The Mail’s Rob McFarland ran with Orton up Rendezvous Mountain. “While I gasp for breath, Orton chats away like he’s doing nothing more strenuous than playing backgammon,” McFarland wrote. Orton has polished off the 11-kilometer climb in an impressive one hour and 35 minutes.

Amazing Adaptation Blazing a path of adjustment in a wild place BY JULIE KLING
Josh Bogle radiates a positive attitude.
SARGENT SCHUTT
10 | JULY 22, 2015
| PLANET JACKSON HOLE |
T
hree years ago, a deep-sea fishing accident in Kauai forever changed the course of Josh Bogle’s life. After getting stabbed in the foot by a fishhook, he developed a staph infection so resistant to antibiotics that it left him a quadruple amputee. When he finally got to Denver, another story in itself, doctors were only able to save his five left hand fingers below the knuckle. He lost his right hand and his two legs below the knee. He woke up from a coma speechless yet humming along with the nurse as she sang Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds.” “My brain recognized ‘Three Little Birds’ and I wanted to sing, so I woke up,” he said on a summer day after welcoming me into his family home with a toothless smile, another casualty from the infection that ravaged his body. His mom and stepfather, Judy and Matt Montagne, remember sitting in the hospital reading letters of encouragement to him. They made a makeshift letter board that allowed Bogle to spell out his first word before his words came back. “You were waking up and seeing your black hands and feet,” Matt Montagne said to Bogle. “Do you know what your first word was? It was a-w-e-s-o-m-e.” Bogle’s hazel eyes lit up as his little dog Macy, who was there with him every step of the way, hopped onto his lap to help him tell his story. Coconuts and the right attitude were the self-prescribed “rocket fuel” for his survival from the tragic events that followed. “I guess coconuts saved my life,” Bogle said. A year after his amputation he was back in the Denver hospital with a superbug, too sick to undergo a life or death heart surgery. “I asked them, if I wasn’t going to be alive for much longer, could I go to Hawaii. I went and I came back so strong from eating salmon, seaweed and drinking organic coconut water every day. Coconut water is so close to our body’s natural PH. During World War II they used coconut water for IVs.” Bogle’s story, as uplifting as it is tragic, shows a unique human spirit that amputees possess here in adventure-driven Jackson. The challenges that lie ahead for him are fraught with insurance battles and everyday logistics, like how to drive a car. These issues will force him to take a slower path. But with
access to new technology in prostheses, he is able to dance, bike, snowboard and hike again. He dares to dream of a career as an actor in Hollywood and wants to create a community that gives amputees easier access to prostheses. Maybe he will inspire a new device that gives athletes more range of movement like Teton Adaptive Sports’ Steep and Deep Coach Brian Bartlett. Teton Adaptive Sports, an outgrowth of the adaptive program at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, is a nonprofit organization established in 2006 that takes athletes with prosthetics skiing, climbing, river rafting and biking. It is a local chapter of Disabled Sports/USA, a national organization established by Vietnam Veterans that, along with Wounded Warriors, promotes recreation for people with disabilities. Bartlett, another amputee athlete, had his right leg torn off by a car in a freak accident on his way to Lake Tahoe, where he was headed to be in a ski film. He has since patented the Bartlett Tendon Hybrid Prosthetic Knee, prosthesis made of military components with synthetic soft and hard tendons. The rubber tendons allow Bartlett to jump cliffs in the backcountry on skis and made him fall in love with the sport of mountain biking because he was finally able to push off the pedal. Most importantly, they are designed to get wet and even allow for deep sea diving.
“I don’t care if it’s a broomstick, people should use their prosthetics as much as they can,” Bartlett said in a phone interview as he hiked down Steven’s Pass outside Seattle, Wash. “They are all taught not to put too much pressure on them. I don’t believe in that. It wrecks the body to have to overcompensate on one side. “I’m looking to use artificial muscle for movement in field prosthetics. The computer chip and everything is great. But field prosthetics can go into a dirty environment more like a Swiss Army tool. Using artificial rubber, you get the feel of muscle.” He urges adaptive skiers, most of whom take their prosthetic legs off and use poles to create three tracks, to use a flexible randonee boot with their prostheses to put a little weight onto the affected side and help drive the ski through turns. Kira Brazinski learned how to ski on one leg when she was threes years old. Twenty years later, she is a yoga instructor who teaches a flow class at Inversion and is widely respected by big mountain skiers for her daring spirit. A waitress at Lotus Cafe kindly greets her as Brazinski tucks her leg under the table. “I work here too,” she tells me. Born in Jackson with a birth defect that left her without a left femur, Brazinski has worn a basic prosthetic leg for most of her life. She opted to amputate her left
It has been two years since Brazinski began the process of getting her first prosthetic leg as an adult using her parent’s medical insurance. Shriners Hospitals for Children in Salt Lake City used to outfit her with a new prosthetic every one to two years as she grew, free of charge. But that coverage ended when she turned 18. “It was always a fun mother daughter trip to go down to Salt Lake for a week, stay at a hotel and get a new leg

foot when she was eight years old so that she could wear cute shoes but has never been able to wear a left ski boot before. She has always taken her prosthesis off to ski because she can’t get it wet and it wasn’t designed for adaptive skiing. Her new knee, however, has a microprocessor that uses Bluetooth technology to sense how quickly she is walking and match her right knee based on friction. She hopes to try it out in a boot with Bartlett once she gets her new prosthesis. She is also excited to stand up on a paddleboard. “Right now it’s easier for me to do a handstand on a paddleboard than stand up on one,” she said. She started a handstand challenge last year and has been practicing inversions every day since.
and a pedicure,” she said. Now Brazinski is dealing with pain in her pelvic muscles from her unstable hip joint. She has plantar fasciitis from putting too much pressure on her right foot. She has always struggled to ride a bike. Yet her insurance is refusing to cover a new prosthesis for her active lifestyle. “I’ve been riding my bike before and my leg has fallen off,” she said with a laugh. Still, she refuses to let her prosthesis get in the way of her adventures. “I’ve never felt like I couldn’t do something,” she said. “I’ve never viewed myself as disabled.” When her mom and brother said they wanted to climb the Grand Teton she said, “I’m coming.” She has not ventured that high yet. But the last time she took a hike, her prosthetic started to make funny noises and she was worried she wouldn’t make it down. Discouraged by the wait for insurance to get the new prosthesis build, her parents refinanced their house in Rafter J to pay for her new knee. She is moving forward with her prosthetist in Idaho Falls to make a leg with a suspension cable system that allows her to press a button and turn a knob to relieve pressure at the socket. Every prosthetic leg, like every person with an amputation, is different. Ever since 1861 when James E. Hanger returned from the civil war with a peg leg – surgeons reported 60,000 amputations during that war – companies like Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics have been improving upon designs with hinges for ankles and knees. Thousands of veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan also have returned home missing one or both legs and are benefiting from advancements in prosthetic technology.
limited healthcare coverage gave him the idea to create a “Craigslist,” or classifieds website, for prosthetics so that as technology evolves, new devices are more accessible to amputees. Bogle, a former professional snowboarder, is in search of three prostheses that he can get wet and take out on adventures. His partial grip makes it hard to find a prosthesis for his left hand but he has found a device for his right hand that uses iPhone technology to control an artificial grip. He also is hoping to buy a car or van with a power lift gate that will make it easier for him to travel. He has created two GoFundMe.com crowd-sourced funding campaigns, one to help pay for the prostheses, which cost $6,500 per foot, and one for the van. When it comes to interchangeable parts like knees and feet, a Craigslist for prosthetics is not a bad one, said Washington, D.C.based prosthetist Elliot Weintrob. But the liability issue makes it difficult, not to mention the economies of scale. “When Toyota produces a car, it produces half a million. The numbers in prosthetics just aren’t there,” Weintrob said. “Nothing ever gets cheaper. The cost only goes up. “Where trading gets tricky is there’s no warranty. And you still have to have custom sockets made. The liability has gone through the roof. If I don’t know the history on that foot, I wouldn’t recommend it.” Weintrob, who has a private practice in Northern Virginia and a second home here, has been coming to Jackson since the early 1990s to ski. He helped raise the seed money for Teton Adaptive Sports’ Steep and Deep Camp. As the medical field has changed, he has come to learn what buttons to push with insurance companies to get a new arm or leg for his patients. But his influence is limited. “In order for someone to receive a prosthesis I am almost like the pharmacist,” he said. “The prescription has to come from the doctor. “When an insurance company says, ‘No,’ that means you push harder,” he said. “I do feel at times like I am in the trenches with my patients because I know that I

Bogle, who wears a Hanger titanium leg, has three wheelchairs, a myoelectric knee and a pair of feet with a battery that weigh 2.5 pounds each that he couldn’t wear in his closet. His insurance will only cover a new set of feet every two years. His excess prostheses and
Jackson life, reworked
Living in Jackson Hole is a double-edged sword for amputees: they are inspired by nature and the active lifestyles people lead around them, yet they are far removed from prosthetists, larger support groups and the lobbyist groups working to improve medical coverage for prostheses. “I think the inspiration of the Tetons outweighs the difficulty they have in getting quality prosthetic care,” said Cherene Vanian, manager of Teton Adaptive
Sports’ summer programs. The program serves people with all kinds of disabilities by providing equipment and scholarships. Amputees are among its leaders. “It’s not like they need us, it’s like we need them,” said executive director Kurt Henry. He pointed out that Brazinski teaches yoga for the program and his lead fishing guide, Wayne DeWall, is also an amputee. “A lot of these guys can be really inspirational. I just met Josh [Bogle] at the July Fourth parade. He is like one of the most positive individuals that I’ve met.” Bogle, who spends half the year in Kauai on a coconut farm, sees his future as boundless. In addition to starting a website to trade prostheses, he is considering moving to Los Angeles to join the Screen Actors Guild. His family friendships with actors like Harrison Ford and Bill Paxton have given him the strength to keep that dream alive. “I think I would have talked myself out of it before the accident,” he said. “Now it’s easier for me to live in the moment.” “Josh would never dwell on what he couldn’t do,” said his stepfather Matt Montagne. “Instead, he would focus on what he could do and that really inspired us.” Bogle countered Montagne’s comment. “That cliff would be a hard one to come back to,” he said, adding that if he went to the dark side he might not recover. Thanks to scholarships through the Wounded Warrior program, he’s attended the Hartford Ski Spectacular,
one of the largest winter sports festivals for people with disabilities, and he just returned from a camp in Colorado where he went fly fishing, biking and river rafting. Similar to many other kids in Jackson, Brazinski grew up doing outdoor activities. But she never joined a group with whom to share information on prosthetics. To her, wearing a prosthesis is like “wearing an uncomfortable pair of shoes.” She considers herself lucky to have a family who will support her as she learns about advocating for herself with insurance companies. “It probably hurt me in some ways not doing research,” she said. “But it was a gift in other ways because I’m always looking for new adventures.” Bartlett hopes to help her along the way. His company Leftside Industries Inc., which was sought out by the military and used to service veterans and people in active duty exclusively, is beginning to manufacture more products for the private sector and is in the process of creating a foundation so that he can give prostheses to people with no medical coverage. “Military, rich people or people who use crowdsource funding are the only kind of people who get this stuff,” he said. “I don’t think that’s right. Kira [Brazinski] is one of the reasons I’m doing what I’m doing. I want to take a step around the red tape.” PJH

can provide top-notch care, but it’s not in my hands. The insurance company is saying, wait a minute let’s see if we can do it for less. Maybe I’m too much of a liberal Washingtonian. Quite often I have to get on the phone with the doctor and justify it piece by piece. If you don’t know what you are doing, that physician knows how to tear your argument apart. He is being paid on how much he saves the insurance company.” More than 100 prosthetic facilities closed last year because the number of reimbursement cases has grown so high, according to the American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association. An audit by the association in March found that 15,000 new appeals are received per week indicating that there are as many as 1.5 million Medicare reimbursement cases now in limbo. Orthotic and prosthetic appeals represented an average Medicare payment of $35,338 in 2013, the association said.

Y
ears ago, when Noelle Houser, now 17, was a little girl, she watched the New York City Ballet perform the “Nutcracker,” in New York City. Afterward she had her picture taken with the dancers and flew home, never forgetting the experience. It could have been decades before she saw the famous dance company perform live again – it’s a long and expensive trip from Wyoming to New York. But six years ago the legendary dance company did something unprecedented. It created a traveling company comprised of principal, or the highest-ranked dancers, as well as soloists and members of the corps, who traveled to Jackson to perform and teach classes. New York City Ballet Moves returns this week with performances, classes and open rehearsals. Houser has seen the dancers almost every year they’ve come to Wyoming. “It’s an unbelievable experience,” she said. Not only is it incredible to see them perform, the company’s residency program gives students the chance to take classes in the Balanchine method, a technique named after legendary choreographer George Balanchine and associated with New York City Ballet, Houser said. This year, the residency program expanded to include teacher training for regional dance instructors, said Babs Case, artistic director of Dancers’ Workshop. Since Case first dreamed of luring New York City Ballet to Jackson, she knew she wanted a relationship that ran deeper than just performances (as amazing as it is to see the dancers on the stage). Master classes and open rehearsals, which are Thursday and Friday, were always part of the vision. “For me, the open rehearsals are an opportunity for the public to see the work in progress and see the working process,” Case said. “It allows us to look closer when we’re watching any dance because we have a greater understanding of it.” Seeing the creative process allows people to notice the subtleties of dance, something that is especially important when bringing a company known for its classical ballet to a community that might have limited exposure to the art form. And for those who are already aficionados, it deepens the understanding of what the dancers do to transform

From performances and classes to open rehearsals, New York City Ballet Moves delivers a bevy of interactive events this week. themselves into art on stage. “It sort of demystifies the dancers in a way,” Case said. “They are almost other-worldly creatures when they are up there on stage. You get to see them as people. You get to see the hard work that goes into looking so effortless.” The performance program, which runs Friday and Saturday, includes “Pictures at an Exhibition.” There isn’t a story but a sense of community in the colorful, lyrical dance set to piano music, said Jean-Pierre Frohlich, ballet master with the company and artistic administrator for Moves. The dance explores a variety of emotions from wild to solemn to soulful. “You get to make your own story up,” he said of the piece. “A Place for Us,” a pas de deux, or two-person dance, choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon is set to a piano and clarinet. The dancers interact on stage with shifting patterns of light. “A Suite of Dances,” choreographed by Jerome Robbins, is set to “Six Suites for Solo Cello” by Bach. The work features a solo male dancer and a cello player on stage. Peter Martins’ “Hallelujah Junction” is also on the program, performed to a score by John Adams, which is written for two pianos. It’s high-energy, exuberant and neoclassical, Frohlich said. “They are all contemporary pieces, but this has more of an edge to it,” he said. All of the dances are different and meant to give people a sense of the company and the dancers.
The company’s orchestra also performs the music live for the pieces. “The music is so extraordinary, you almost forget it’s being played live,” Case said. The program, most of which hasn’t been performed in Jackson before, along with the live music, should lure people who are new to dance, as well as those who have seen the company in previous years, she said. “Just because you’ve seen something does not mean you know it or can’t be surprised by it time and time again,” Case said.

t’s easy to forget there is more to Wyoming than the stunning Tetons, but snowboarder Travis Rice and artist Tim Tomkinson did not overlook the state’s varied sensibilities when charged with creating artwork to represent the Cowboy State. When the Wyoming Travel and Tourism office asked Rice to work with an artist to commission a work promoting the state for his snowboard, Rice asked Tomkinson to collaborate and create the designs. He created three images, one featuring the state flag, another of an elk and a third modeled after a 1950s postcard featuring iconic Wyoming images from Devils Tower to Buffalo Bill to an erupting Yellowstone geyser. Rice was photographed riding with the Wyoming promotion and there was even a contest for people to win a chance to spend a day on the mountain with him. Asymbol also showcased the snowboards and people kept asking if they could get a print of the postcard-like illustration. So the tourism office agreed Asymbol could release the “Wyoming” print to celebrate Wyoming’s 125th statehood anniversary. Asymbol is selling 125 limited edition signed and numbered prints for $275 and unsigned, unnumbered prints for $35. The limited edition prints are 44 by 11 inches, while the open edition prints are 24 by 6.5 inches. Both prints are still available. “There’s iconography that everybody relates to the state,” said Alex Hillinger,
Pro-rider Travis Rice and artist Tim Tomkinson collaborated on a design, now available as a poster print, invoking the essence of Wyoming.
managing director of the gallery. “It’s a representation of everything within the state of Wyoming.” The illustration is created in a style paying homage to the postcards of the 1950s, but with a modern touch, like UFO flying over Devils Tower. “It’s a little tongue and cheek,” Hillinger said. There are “little Easter eggs of humor,” if you look at the print closely, making it modern, classic and also funny, he explained. Rice, a professional snowboarder, collaborated with Tomkinson to create the images. Tomkinson, who had never created artwork specifically for a snowboard before the project, works with traditional illustration methods like pencils and then works digitally on the artwork. A Jackson Hole High School graduate, Tomkinson is a multi-disciplinary artist who specializes in illustration and branding. He attended Parsons School of Design in New York City and then returned to Jackson. He’s worked for clients such as Nike, Old Spice, Discovery Channel, The New Yorker, Outside Magazine, Rolling Stone and others. Rice, a Jackson resident and professional snowboarder, started Asymbol Gallery in 2009 with artist/rider Mike Parillo. “The tourism project was a natural fit for Travis,” Hillinger said. “Being born and raised in Jackson [he has] a huge sense of pride.” From the beginning, the design was also meant to reflect Wyoming in its entirety, beyond Jackson Hole. That execution is likely why the print has been so popular. “This is not just about Jackson,” Hillinger said. “It’s about the entire state of Wyoming.” It’s the perfect tribute to the state’s history, with its historical, cultural and iconic images and a nod to the retro kitsch of old postcards. The posters are available at Asymbol gallery and online at Asymbol.co. Visitor centers across the state will also promote the poster. PJH

MUSIC BOX Honkytonk and Ferris wheels Wyoming natives Luke Bell and Jess Camilla O’Neal serve solid country to the fair concert BY AARON DAVIS @ScreenDoorPorch
A
n ole modern traditionalist, Cody-native and classic country crooner Luke Bell has been on a national tear as of late. Bell was briefly schooled in Laramie and propelled to Austin before landing in Nashville. He recently received a major shoutout from Rolling Stone as one of the “25 Must See Acts” of the CMA Music Festival in Nashville. His music is a nod to 1970s honky tonk adorned with heart-felt depictions of cowboy culture and hard workin’ folks, all backed by a damn good country band. Don’t sleep on this chance to see a rising star brought up in the Square State. Opening the show is Dubois-based Jess Camilla O’Neal & The Neversweat Players. The quartet blends Western, country and Americana into a genuine Wyoming blend of rural story songs. Teton County Fair presents Luke Bell with Jess Camilla O’Neal & The Neversweat Players, 6 p.m. Friday at Heritage Arena. All-ages. Free.
Bingham at Center
Once an obscure songwriter dabbling in ranch work and sleeping in his truck after rodeo competitions, Ryan Bingham’s modern success has not affected his gritty alt-country output one bit. Bingham won an Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe and Critic’s Choice awards for his 2010 song “The Weary Kind,” which was prominently featured in the film “Crazy Heart.” He followed that up by releasing three successful major label albums with Lost Highway before going out on his own to self-release 2012’s “Tomorrowland” and this year’s “Fear and Saturday Night.”
Ten-piece soul outfit The Suffers, left, headline Music on Main Thursday; Ryan Bingham saddles up at Center for the Arts with some raw alt-country on Tuesday. What strikes this columnist most about Bingham is his ultra whiskey-soaked vocal chords, capable of drawing into focus the emotions behind his words. It can be powerful, and I highly recommend him. Ryan Bingham, 8 p.m., Tuesday at the Center Theater. $39$49. JHCenterForTheArts.org, 733-2900.
Huge soul sounds of The Suffers
Ever heard of “Gulf Coast soul”? Houston-based 10-piece The Suffers intertwine the classic elements of soul and horn-fueled rock with the massive voice of singer Kam Franklin. At first, the formula brings to mind a jazzed-up version of Sharon Jones and The Dap-kings, though The Suffers’ four-song EP “Make Some Room,” is convincing evidence that this group is not locked into delivering solely classic soul. There’s origininality to the songs, and a patience that allows for epic slow burns like “Giver.” Opening the show is Jackson’s Canyon Kids, an indie-folk rock duo that will be staging a full band version of what they do best – delivering lush vocal harmony within engaging songs, and arrangements that allure with folksy stylings
before unleashing an ambient rock attack. The Suffers with Canyon Kids, 6 p.m., Thursday at Music on Main in Victor City Park. Free. All-ages. TetonValleyFoundation. org.
Half of Tenacious D
Kyle Gass is Jack Black’s parner in crime as Tenacious D. He’ll be in town Sunday bringing The Kyle Gass Band’s “goodtime-rock-and-roll done right, with incredible harmonies, hugenormous guitars, and just the slightest dusting of flute,” according to the band’s website. The same tongue-in-cheek approach applies here, with more crunchy guitars and a throwback sound to 70s classic rock. The five-piece is fronted by vocalist and guitarist Mike Bray and features electric guitarist John Konesky, also of Tenacious D. The Kyle Gass Band, 10 p.m., Sunday at Town Square Tavern. $10. 307Live.com, 733-3886.

KEEPIN’ IT CLASSICAL Heritage, love and war American folk music, ‘The Marriage of Figaro’ and Napoleon at GTMF BY MADELAINE GERMAN @MadelaineGerman GTMF PRESENTS: Mark O’Connor - American Classics, 8 p.m., Wednesday, Walk Festival Hall. $25, students free, $15 day-of Violinist and composer Mark O’Connor is widely recognized as one of the most talented and influential musicians of the time. Internationally heralded as both a moving performer and idiomatic voice of 21st century American music, O’Connor’s background in fiddle and jazz studies allows him the insight to produce contemporary works steeped in aural tradition with a distinguishable modern style. O’Connor will perform with his wife and fellow violinist Maggie O’Connor, a Peabody Institute graduate who, in recent seasons, appeared as a guest soloist with the renowned Singapore Chinese Orchestra and the Santa Rosa Symphony. She also has presented recitals in Baltimore and appeared as a member of the Aspen Festival Orchestra. Together, the legendary O’Connors will perform selections from Mark O’Connor’s albums “MOC4” and “American Classics,” accompanied by the Jason Hardink on piano. Hardink is the principal symphony keyboardist of the Utah Symphony and the artistic director of the NOVA Chamber Music Series. The evening will delight bluegrass and classical aficionados alike.
Chamber Music: Hovhaness, Dohnányi & Mozart, 8 p.m., Thursday, Walk Festival Hall. $25, students free, $15 day-of Piggybacking off of Mark O’Connor’s Wednesday night performance, Thursday’s concert is a string affair. The event begins with Alan Hovhaness’s “Duet for Violin and Cello, op. 409.” Hovhaness was an American composer of Armenian descent and prolific creative output, having composed a

total of 67 symphonies and 434 opus number works over the course of his career. That number likely does not reflect the real number of works he wrote. During the 1930s and ‘40s, Havhaness famously destroyed much of his early writing, claiming to have trashed around 500 pieces and more than one thousand pages of manuscript. Although not as much of a household name as his counterpart composers John Cage, Lou Harrison and Henry Cowell, Hovhaness was an important figure in the 20th century’s classical music revolutions, namely looking to non-Western music in Japan, India and Korea for inspiration in structure and theme. Hungarian composer Erno Dohnányi’s “Serenade in C Major, Op. 10” follows, emblematic of the composer’s quirky and folk-influenced style, and W.A. Mozart’s “Clarinet Quintet in A Major” concludes the evening as one of the composer’s most admired works.
Festival Orchestra: Classical Masters – Mozart, Brahms and Beethoven, 8 p.m., Friday; 6 p.m., Saturday. Open rehearsal 10 a.m., Friday., Walk Festival Hall. $25-55, students free, $15 dayof; $10 open rehearsal This weekend’s concert opens with one of the most recognizable pieces in music history – Mozart’s overture from “The Marriage of Figaro.” The overture is bubbly, festive and entertaining in its own right and is the perfect introduction to the opera’s 1786 premiere in Prague, where the opera was an instant box office sellout. “The Marriage of Figaro” was a continuation of French playwright Beaumarchais’ “The Barber of Seville” (1773), and is a comic story of scheming, manipulation and romance along the lines of the time’s French aristocratic taste. Notably, none of the overture’s themes appear elsewhere in the opera. Romantic era German composer Johannes Brahms’ “Violin Concerto in D Major” is the second work of the evening, featuring world-renowned guest artist James Ehnes on violin. The concerto is the only one Brahms wrote for violin, and it was written for his friend and violinist Joseph Joachim. Brahms did not play the violin himself and collaborated with Joachim on the composition of the concerto, acquiescing to all of the soloist’s notes on the score except to those making it less technically difficult. The work is considered among the four greatest violin concerti of the 19th century. Brahms suffered some criticism for the dramatic nature of the work

– with the great conductor Hans von Bülow declaring it not a concerto for violin but a “concerto against the violin.” It’s dramatically demanding for the ear, while also effusing an underlying feminine, seductive lure. Beethoven’s timeless and iconic “Symphony No. 3,” known as the “Eroica” or “Heroic” symphony, concludes the evening’s programming. Beethoven began work on the symphony in 1798 when he first learned of a young general named Napoleon Bonaparte whose democratic ideals matched also his military genius. The character of this young political revolutionary so deeply inspired Beethoven that for five years the composer marinated on how to portray the young leader’s character through music. Finally between May 1803 and sometime early in 1804, he composed “Symphony No. 3” and wrote Napoleon’s name at the top of the work. However, when Napoleon named himself Emperor of France in May of 1804, an enraged Beethoven declared, “So he is just like all the rest, after all. He will stamp out human rights and become a greater tyrant than the others.” Beethoven ripped up the first page of his score, and after a few more name revisions to include “Grand Symphony, entitled Bonaparte,” and “Sinfonia Eroica,” the composer finally settled in 1806 on “Heroic Symphony, Composed in Memory of a Great Man.” The symphony is easily one of the great musical works of all time, full of electrifying musical imagery of bravery, idealism, youth, love, war and adventure.

This week’s “Inside the Music” is a special treat of musical instrument buffet offerings. From solo harpsichord (Marcello’s “Harpsichord Sonanta in A Major”) to solo timpani (Carter’s “Canaries” from “Eight Pieces for Timpani”), the evening is as varied in sonic texture and musical color as the festival could make a single concert bill. The program also will look at Copland’s “Four Piano Blues” and selections from Beethoven’s “String Quartet No. 16” and contemporary composer Anna Meredith’s “Songs for the M8.” This program is free and a great educational opportunity.

same character names. Instead, we’re being offered a fresh take on a beloved film, helmed by a respected director. That’s right. We’re going to still love “Ghostbusters” (1984) no matter how good or bad “Ghostbusters” (2016) is. Nothing is going to sully that. While it was clear George Lucas’s prequel trilogy didn’t live up to, say, “The Empire Strikes Back,” it didn’t destroy our love for the original films. Heck, it made us appreciate them even more. But let’s just call out the elephant in the room. After reading so many online comments on various websites, it’s clear that the one thing that is deterring so many fans is the fact that the movie stars women. One commenter named Gummychuck wrote: “‘Ghostbusters’ is not a women’s comedy film and men are unlikely to go see four women in what would be a guy’s comedy. These four women may do well in a chick flic [sic], but I doubt they will play out well in this genre.” When an image of the trademark jumpsuits was first released, robertspurt wrote: “I find it unlikely that women with contemporary fashion sensibility would fashion for themselves the same look as men from the ‘80s.” On Sunday, Feig announced the new character names in a Twitter post: “Okay, here you go. Erin Gilbert, Jillian Holtzmann, Abby Yates and Patty Tolan.” Snugglebot wrote: “They JUST AREN’T Ghostbusting names. Thanks for not hiring a director who is a Real Actual Fan™ of the source material, Sony!” Take note. This level of outrage over something as simple as a comedy with female leads is ridiculous and completely unnecessary. When the film comes out next year, it will no doubt do fantastically at the box office, proving to Hollywood that films with female leads are not risky. When the original “Ghostbusters” came out, it only starred two female characters: Sigourney Weaver as a sex-crazed villainess and Annie Potts as a secretary. Generally speaking, the social perception of women has, thankfully, changed since 1984, and we should be proud of that. If men can dress up in jumpsuits and fight ghosts, there should be no reason why women cannot. I ain’t afraid of no strong female role models, but I think some of you might be.

understand where you’re coming from because I’ve been one of you before. I’ve jumped on internet message boards with the same passionate vitriol on various movie topics, spewing my opinions at anyone who will read them. I’ve criticized casting decisions, damned unfounded reviews and, yes, I have even blamed George Lucas for “ruining my childhood” with the “Star Wars” prequels. When Paul Feig, director of “Bridesmaids,” “The Heat,” and “Spy,” announced that he would be rebooting the “Ghostbusters” franchise, but with an all-female team, I thought you might rally in support. Why wouldn’t you? Not only was the film going to star comedy heroines Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy and Leslie Jones, but also it was going to be directed by Feig, a man who is revolutionizing female-led comedies. Plus, he’s pretty good at it. The aforementioned films all have an average of 90, 65 and 95 percent positive reviews, respectively, on RottenTomatoes.com. Instead, you “Ghostbusters” diehards have called the film “sexist” and “completely unnecessary.” “Why not just do another film with the same actors as before?” you’ve asked. The truth is that they tried. Dan Aykroyd wrote the script for “Ghostbusters 3: Hellbent” back in the 1990s, but nothing ever came of it. The script was lackluster, and producers weren’t too thrilled about a third adventure after the lukewarm reception of “Ghostbusters 2.” Another script emerged recently, but Bill Murray said the premise was “crazy bizarre and too crazy to comprehend.” Believe it or not, it’s been 31 years since the first “Ghostbusters” film came out, and while there’s been a few cartoons and video games about Peter, Ray, Egon and Winston since, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Universal Studios wants to revisit the premise with a remake. I, for one, am thankful we’re not seeing younger, more attractive male actors with the

GET OUT Mud, snakes and slides Embracing unexpected adventure in the Gros Ventre BY ELIZABETH KOUTRELAKOS @EKoutrelakos
M
y strong desire to see something new recently collided along with rumors of a legendary disaster in the Gros Ventre led me to the Crystal Creek landslide. No, it’s not the famous Gros Ventre Slide but another slide that happened in the last decade or so. The National Forest Service website made it sound enticing: “More recently the Crystal Creek landslide has challenged the Gros Ventre Slide’s ferocity, forever changing the path of Wild and Scenic Crystal Creek and the mountains and meadows surrounding it.” I had to see it to believe it. We began from the Crystal Creek Trailhead, a couple miles up from Slide Lake. A young couple car camping scarfed up the last of their breakfast and joined us for the first creek crossing. I felt further validated in the destination choice because others were curious about this feature as well. While the official trail map suggests the path begins on the east side of the creek, experienced hikers have suggested that crossing the creek at the trailhead saves some strife, avoiding a loose and rocky side hill at the base of the red cliffs. From the creek, we walked up a horse trail over a small knoll leading back down to the water. About a mile in was another creek crossing, but from here the trail became fairly consistent and easy to follow. It was clear that a lot of horses travel up the path as it quickly turned to hardened prints of horseshoes. Walking on this surface was a bit awkward but bearable. With each consecutive creek passage, my feet lost a bit more feeling. After the fourth one, we arrived at a newly formed lake, created by the slide. Mass amounts of boulders, trees and mud swept down into Crystal Creek, creating a natural dam. The slide itself looks like a chunk of the mountain fell off. Trees with branches stand tall in this freak of natural wonder and you can see down to the bottom of the crystal clear lake. We walked around the lake until we hit a creek inlet, and then scurried across the creek to the side of the landslide. Walking on the landslide felt similar to what I imagine walking on the moon is like. A few invasive weeds and some flowers grew in the red mud. The slide required multiple trail reroutes, which appeared as old sticks, propped up with rocks. The ground had hardened so much that it was impossible to imagine digging anything into this earth.

A bird’s eye view of the Crystal Creek landslide.
Nearing the shore of the lake, we stumbled on some of the purest mud I had ever seen. Comprised of a thin layer of crust, the silky mire lie just below the surface and felt interesting on the feet. We continued our jaunt around the lake and decided to cross on the north side of it back to the trail. The crossing looked shallow and a faint path in the water hinted that someone or something walked through in the recent past. It was here that my beloved partner almost became a fossil. After a few steps, he sank in to his thigh. “Don’t come closer,” he yelled. “And take my fanny pack.” I grabbed his stuff as I sunk up to my knee. He got on all fours in the water, fighting the suction of the powerful mud pit of doom. Eventually he got out and we found some firmer ground to cross on. The treacherousness served as good reminder that things aren’t always as they seem, especially in the case of a recent landslide. Continuing our way down the trail, we made it to the meadows by the creek and decided to have one last snack before finishing up the last mile of our jaunt. We stopped at a little bench looking down into the creek and whipped out some high-quality calories. Again, this proved to be a poor choice for a snack when a dozen snakes slithered out of the crumbling creek side. Although they were harmless little things, the overwhelming presence of such creatures was a little shocking. I screamed, and then we hastily made our way back to the car. The small and unexpected adventure to the landslide made this journey a memorable one. PJH

Series Finale: For a second, there were rumors that Fox might “Under the Dome” us and crank out a second season of “Wayward Pines,” even though it was originally billed as a “10-episode limited series.” But! Tonight is indeed the end of the story of a bizarre little Idaho town (yes, redundant) wherein a Secret Service agent (Matt Dillon) learns the truth about why he, nor any other townies, can ever be allowed to leave. It’s a hell of a twist; if you’ve yet to visit “Wayward Pines,” either due to the previously mentioned “Dome” factor or the presence of producer/director M. Night Shyamalan, I’m not going to spoil it here. Hulu it; on-demand it; think of it as a 10-hour movie—just do it.
‘Sex With Brody’ Fridays (E!)
New Series: What’s worse than a radio show repurposed as a TV show? Nothing. At least “The Glenn Beck Radio Program” on The Blaze, with its white microphones and illusion of floating in “Heaven,” attempts to add a visual element—Beck may be a frothing lunatic, but he does understand showmanship (as most prophets of doom do). The rest, from tabloid talkers to sports yakkers, are just cameras pointed at mannequins in headphones. “Sex With Brody” goes the extra mile into hell by giving Brody Jenner—one of the myriad talentless dependents of The Artist Formerly Known as Bruce—a forum to give advice as a “sexual connoisseur,” propped up by a “comedian” sidekick so bland I’ve already forgotten his name twice. Which brings us to …
‘I Am Cait’ Sunday, July 26 (E!)
Series Debut: Believe it or not, I have no problem with Caitlyn Jenner’s transition from Bruce being used as a marketing ploy for an E! reality show about, of course, Caitlyn Jenner’s transition from Bruce. In fact, I’m all for it, because “I Am
‘Rick & Morty’ (Adult Swim) Cait” could very well be the series that wipes all other Kardashian/Jenner-related programs off of television. Who’s going to care about those famous-for-nothing idiot sisters and their tedious shows about … what, exactly? … when this drops? If Caitlyn can rid us of Kim, Khloé, Keebler, Khrunky and the rest of the Kardashians klogging up kable, she truly is an American hero. [Cue “The Star-Spangled Banner,” flags, balloons, etc.]
‘Rick & Morty’ Sunday, July 26 (Adult Swim)
Season Premiere: When it premiered in 2014, “Rick & Morty” seemed almost too smart for its own good: Boozehound sociopath scientist Rick (voiced by Justin Roiland) drags his slow-witted nephew Morty (also Roiland) along on increasingly dangerous interdimensional trips to alternate universes, all of which end up with Morty nearly being maimed or molested, and Rick lamenting the utter stupidity of humankind—kind of a twisted sci-fi cartoon take on the Doc/Marty dynamic of “Back to the Future” (or as close as you can get without receiving a cease-and-desist from Robert Zemeckis). But, now that Roiland and co-creator Dan Harmon are (cult) heroes of the animation world, Season 2 looks to be even more unhinged, profane, and frighteningly scientifically plausible than ever. You don’t need another season of
“Cosmos”—you just need “Rick & Morty.”
‘The Bachelorette’ Monday, July 27 (ABC)
Season Finale: Since Kaitlyn (popular name, huh?) Bristowe is pretty much the best Bachelorette ever, here’s hoping she chooses none of these clowns.
‘Last Comic Standing’ Wednesday, July 29 (NBC)
New Season: The checkered history of “Last Comic Standing” is loaded with “losers” who went on to fame (Amy Schumer, Gabriel Iglesias), “winners” who’ve had to claw their way back (Iliza Shlesinger, Josh Blue) and head-scratching footnotes (Ant? God’s Pottery?). Season 9 of “LCS” is about as necessary as seasons 3-8 (read: not at all), but new additions Norm Macdonald (as a judge alongside returnees Roseanne Barr and Keenen Ivory Wayans) and Anthony Jeselnik (as the host) rate a look: Both comedians have been banished from NBC late-night (Macdonald was fired from “Saturday Night Live;” Jeselnik quit as a writer for “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon”) for being too “edgy,” and now they’re back in primetime? Is no one running NBC anymore? Is it just like the night shift at an Arby’s over there?

Provençal Provenance Meet the pink wines of southern France BY TED SCHEFFLER @critic1
H
ere’s a fun fact that I’ll bet not even most sommeliers know: Rosé wines in France are more popular than whites. It’s true. Most of them—certainly the best ones—come from the southeastern France region of Provence, which stretches from the Italian border on the east to the left bank of the lower Rhône River, and ends at the Mediterranean Sea to the south. There was a time when I eschewed pink wine just as I avoid Justin Bieber tunes. I’d always equated pink- or salmon-colored wine with the dreadful white Zinfandels of California. But then, I found myself in a small café—probably Le Fournil—in the village of Bonnieux, Provence, where I like to stay when I’m in France. To my surprise,
BEER, WINE & SPIRITS all the natives at the tables surrounding me were sipping rosé. There were sweating, chilled carafes of pink wine on every table. So, “when in Rome” ... or Provence. I ordered a local rosé, and was happily surprised to find that it didn’t taste as sweet as I expected. I don’t remember the maker of the rosé; it probably came from Cave de Bonnieux, the winemaking collective in the village. I only remember that I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I’ve been drinking rosé ever since. Although rosés drink more like white wines than reds—they’re typically chilled, pair better with lighter fare, and are crisp and dry on the palate—they’re made solely from red grape varieties. In a nutshell, the process of rosé production is to make single-varietal wines in small batches from grapes like Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Tibouren, Carignan and sometimes Cabernet Sauvignon. The single-varietal wines are then blended together in a process called assemblage. The reason that rosé wines aren’t redder in color, even though they’re made from red grapes, has to do with the method of produc t ion. T he g rapes a re c r u s he d a nd a l lo w e d to macerate with the skins only long enough to let the juice turn pink. Then, the juice is separated from the skins during “run off,” and the wine is
Authentic Mexican dishes made from scratch Hot chips made fresh all day long
IMBIBE put into tanks to ferment. The limited contact of the red grape skins with the juice results in lighter-bodied wines with little or none of the tannins found in red wine. Rosé wine is to Provence what corn production is to Iowa. Nearly 90 percent of the wine made there is rosé. And it’s becoming increasingly popular outside of France. In fact, the United States is the largest market, after France, for rosé wines. This makes me very happy, since rosé is such a versatile wine that pairs with a wide range of foods. Although it’s still largely considered a spring or summertime wine, I drink it year round. And, while it’s renowned for pairing with Mediterranean Provençal fare such as bouillabaisse and pissaladère, I like to drink rosé with burgers and brats, too, or even chili con carne. For a sunny taste of
southern France, I recommend trying the 2014 Whispering Angel from Caves D’Esclans Sacha Lichine in Côtes de Provence ($18.99). It’s a peachy-salmon-colored rosé with notes of sweet strawberry, raspberry and cherry, yet it’s completely dry with a solid acidity and a long, clean finish. I also really like the rosé from Commanderie de la Bargemone Coteaux d’A i x en Provence ($16.99), made from Grenache, Cabernet, Cinsault and Syrah. Crisp tangerine and melon flavors mingle with hints of white chocolate in this sexy sipper. Hey, once you go rosé, you never go back. PJH

NATURAL MEDICINE Food moods What you eat may affect your emotions BY DR. MONIQUE LAI
M
y patient Laura called me from Laramie this week and thanked me for the diagnosis and treatment program I developed with her five years ago. She encouraged me to write this article because she feels that people don’t realize the connection between food and their mental health. “My symptoms started around 20 years ago when I was 17 and lived in Norway as an exchange student,” Laura said. “The diet in that country is focused around wheat bread and cheese. Symptoms of ruthless chronic anxiety began progressively. I was in such a state of fatigue during this time that my hair began to fall out by the fistful. I began growing a funny fuzz of hair on my face not unlike an anorexic and my jaw was so stiff that I had to massage it in order to open it to eat. “Desperate for help, I saw at least 10 doctors as well as three counselors and a psychiatrist,” she continued. “Every doctor told me, ‘You are healthy as a horse, you are just depressed,’ and sent me out the door with an anti-depressant prescription. As per your instructions, I removed gluten and dairy from my diet. Since I went gluten and dairy free, I have graduated at the top of my class with an education degree and have been hired as a first year teacher in Laramie working in a kindergarten class. I am healthy, hopeful, positive, mentally balanced, productive and excited about my life.” After her first office visit, I had recommended she stay away from gluten (especially wheat) and dairy. She did so and hasn’t looked back. She has had two slip-ups in the last five years while dining out and felt the effects immediately. There are many published articles about wheat and dairy affecting mental health. The diseases most commonly mentioned are schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, Alzheimer’s, autism and attention deficit disorder. They all come back to the same problem: inflammation. Certain foods have a more detrimental effect on your health than others. Contributing factors also include your microbial load, genetics, vitamin and mineral status. Wheat and other gluten-containing grains have a protein called gliadin that causes a reaction in the gut. It opens up spaces between the cells in the digestive tract making the intestinal epithelial barrier in the gut more permeable (also known as leaky gut). This allows larger particles to enter the blood stream causing inflammation. Some of these inflammation-causing substances are food, but others are bacteria or viruses. The association between celiac disease (an auto-immune condition caused by a reaction
to gluten) and schizophrenia has been widely documented. Patients with schizophrenia have an increase in anti-gliadin antibodies. Their immune system identifies gliadin as an invader and reacts. This inflammatory response affects their brain. With dairy, the protein casein is the reactive substance. Patients with casein antibodies are seven to eight times more likely to suffer from schizophrenia and three to five times more likely to suffer from bipolar disorder. I am not one of those alternative doctors that think gluten and diary are the devil, but our food supply has undergone significant changes in the last two decades, especially with wheat. Only 1 percent of the population is celiac, but a much greater percentage experiences a lower-level reaction to wheat. Wheat has been hybridized into a different grain to increase yields for our growing population. This crossbreeding has increased wheat’s gluten content and decreased its vitamin and mineral content. This may be one of the reasons it affects so many adversely.
How do you heal your body?
As a naturopathic physician I always treat the cause of disease. The first place to start is to stop eating gluten and dairy for a specified period and to carefully note any and all physical and emotional changes you experience. There are hidden sources of both gluten and dairy
in most processed foods, so get used to closely inspecting food labels. In addition, there are supplements that can help heal a leaky gut and change your microbial load. A carefully researched program of vitamins and minerals can aid in the production of neurotransmitters. Depression is a complex condition that can have many different sources. Diet-based triggers of depression are some of the most readily identifiable for patients that are willing to change and monitor their eating habits. And the results can be life changing. Just ask Laura. PJH
Monique Lai, ND, has been practicing in Jackson for 15 years after graduating from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1996 and practicing in Washington, D.C. She treats everything from gastrointestinal issues to menopause, allergies, thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases and depressed immune systems. Find out more at drmoniquelai.com.

tendencies?
The key is recognizing that being judgmental is part of the ego’s repertoire...
he ego aspect of the psyche is like an ever-present two-year-old. It’s appropriate to indulge the two-year-old periodically, but do you want that voice to run your life? The ego is not inherently bad, and you cannot get rid of it. Like a toddler, it needs to be given clear boundaries or it will run your life. The ego is only equipped to offer a very narrow, fearful and limited perspective on life. The ego is the part of us that always takes everything personally, never feels enough (or feels too self-important), compares itself to others (coming up better or worse than), defends itself (or attacks), needs to be right and judges everyone and everything. While appealing to the ego may be an advertiser’s dream, the real rub of living primarily from the ego is that it can never be fully satisfied. The ego always wants more and enough is never enough. And if it runs you, then you never feel enough. That’s why we also have a heart and a soul, which are directly connected to higher consciousness and are not driven by fear. The heart and soul are like the inner sage (sometimes called the higher self) always there to guide and direct us to experience nobler agendas, broader perspectives, universal truths and lasting fulfillment. We all have the ability and the choice to recognize the agendas of the ego – putting
the ego in the passenger’s seat of our lives and allowing the heart and soul to be in the driver’s seat. If what you’d like to experience in life is lasting fulfillment, inner peace, an open heart and mind and emotional and spiritual maturity, those attributes are the domain of the heart and soul. One of the best ways to practice letting go of judgmental tendencies comes from a teaching by Ram Dass, former Harvard University professor, spiritual teacher and world-renowned author of “Be Here Now.” “When you go into the woods and you look at trees, you see all these different trees,” Dass said. “Some are bent, some are straight, and there are all kinds of trees. And you look at the trees and you allow it. You may see why a given tree is like it is, you sort of understand that if it didn’t get enough light it grew in a particular way. And you don’t get all emotional about it; you just allow it. You simply appreciate the trees. “The minute you get near people, you lose all that, and you are constantly saying about them they are too this or that, or they are not enough this or that. You say the same things about yourself. The judging ego mind comes in. So I practice turning people into trees, which means appreciating them just the way they are.” PJH

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The Latin motto “Carpe diem” shouldn’t be translated as “Seize the day,” says author Nicholson Baker. It’s not a battle cry exhorting you to “freaking grab the day in your fist like a burger at a fairground and take a big chomping bite out of it.” The proper translation, according to Baker, is “Pluck the day.” In other words, “you should gently pull on the day’s stem, as if it were a wildflower, holding it with all the practiced care of your thumb and the side of your finger, which knows how to not crush easily crushed things—so that the day’s stem undergoes increasing tension and draws to a tightness, and then snaps softly away at its weakest point, and the flower is released in your hand.” Keep that in mind, Aries. I understand you are often tempted to seize rather than pluck, but these days plucking is the preferable approach. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) When I talk about “The Greatest Story Never Told,” I’m not referring to the documentary film about singer Lana Del Rey or the debut album of the rap artist Saigon or any other cultural artifact. I am, instead, referring to a part of your past that you have never owned and understood . . . a phase from the old days that you have partially suppressed . . . an intense set of memories you have not fully integrated. I say it’s time for you to deal with this shadow. You’re finally ready to acknowledge it and treasure it as a crucial thread in the drama of your hero’s journey. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The ancient Greek philosopher Thales is credited as being one of the earliest mathematicians and scientists. He was a deep thinker whose thirst for knowledge was hard to quench. Funny story: Once he went out at night for a walk. Gazing intently up at the sky, he contemplated the mysteries of the stars. Oops! He didn’t watch where he was going, and fell into a well. He was OK, but embarrassed. Let’s make him your anti-role model, Gemini. I would love to encourage you to unleash your lust to be informed, educated, and inspired—but only if you watch where you’re going. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Charles Darwin is best known for his book The Origin of Species, which contains his seminal ideas about evolutionary biology. But while he was still alive, his best-seller was The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms. The painstaking result of over forty years’ worth of research, it is a tribute to the noble earthworm and that creature’s crucial role in the health of soil and plants. It provides a different angle on one of Darwin’s central concerns: how small, incremental transformations that take place over extended periods of time can have monumental effects. This also happens to be one of your key themes in the coming months.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’re entering a volatile phase of your cycle. In the coming weeks, you could become a beguiling monster who leaves a confusing mess in your wake. On the other hand, you could activate the full potential of your animal intelligence as you make everything you touch more interesting and soulful. I am, of course, rooting for the latter outcome. Here’s a secret about how to ensure it: Be as ambitious to gain power over your own darkness as you are to gain power over what happens on your turf. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) I’m a big fan of the attitude summed up by the command “Be here now!” The world would be more like a sanctuary and less like a battleground if people focused more on the present moment rather than on memories of the past and fantasies of the future. But in accordance with the astrological omens, you are hereby granted a temporary exemption from the “Be here how!” approach. You have a poetic license to dream and scheme profusely about what you want your life to be like in the future. Your word of power is tomorrow. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A philanthropist offered $100,000 to the Girl Scouts chapter of western Washington. But there were strings attached. The donor specified that the money couldn’t be used to support transgender girls. The Girl Scouts rejected the gift, declaring their intention to empower every girl “regardless of her gender identity, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.” Do you have that much spunk, Capricorn? Would you turn down aid that would infringe on your integrity? You may be tested soon. Here’s what I suspect: If you are faithful to your deepest values, even if that has a cost, you will ultimately attract an equal blessing that doesn’t require you to sell out. (P.S. The Girl Scouts subsequently launched an Indiegogo campaign that raised more than $300,000.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Consider the possibility of opening your mind, at least briefly, to provocative influences you have closed yourself off from. You may need to refamiliarize yourself with potential resources you have been resisting or ignoring, even if they are problematic. I’m not saying you should blithely welcome them in. There still may be good reasons to keep your distance. But I think it would be wise and healthy for you to update your relationship with them. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Over 10,000 species of mushrooms grow in North America. About 125 of those, or 1.25 percent, are tasty and safe to eat. All the others are unappetizing or poisonous, or else their edibility is in question. By my reckoning, a similar statistical breakdown should apply to the influences that are floating your way. I advise you to focus intently on those very few that you know for a fact are pleasurable and vitalizing. Make yourself unavailable for the rest.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “What makes you heroic?” asked philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Here’s how he answered himself: “simultaneously going out to meet your highest suffering and your highest hope.” This is an excellent way to sum up the test that would inspire you most in the coming weeks, Virgo. Are you up for the challenge? If so, grapple with your deepest pain. Make a fierce effort to both heal it and be
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Actress and musician Carrie Brownstein was born with five planets in Libra. Those who aren’t conversant with astrology’s mysteries may conclude that she is a connoisseur of elegance and harmony. Even professional stargazers who know how tricky it is to make generalizations might speculate that she is skilled at cultivating balance, attuned to the needs of others, excited by beauty, and adaptive to life’s ceaseless change. So what are we to make of the fact that Brownstein has said, “I really don’t know what to do when my life is not chaotic”? Here’s what I suspect: In her ongoing exertions to thrive on chaos, she is learning how to be a connoisseur of elegance and harmony as she masters the intricacies of being balanced, sensitive to others, thrilled by beauty, and adaptive to change. This is important for you to hear about right now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A researcher at the University of Amsterdam developed software to read the emotions on faces. He used it to analyze the expression of the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting, the Mona Lisa. The results suggest that she is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. Whether or not this assessment is accurate, I appreciate its implication that we humans are rarely filled with a single pure emotion. We often feel a variety of states simultaneously. In this spirit, I have calculated your probably mix for the coming days: 16 percent relieved, 18 percent innocent, 12 percent confused, 22 percent liberated, 23 percent ambitious, and 9 percent impatient.
motivated by it. At the same time, identify your brightest hope and take a decisive step toward fulfilling it.
