THIS WEEK

JUNE 28-JULY 4, 2017

By Meteorologist Jim Woodmencey Fourth of July does not fall on a weekend or near a weekend this year, which will undoubtedly throw a wrench in the plans for making a 3-day celebration out of it.

With one day off, on a very isolated looking Tuesday, makes getting away in the outdoors on an extended stay a little tough. My suggestion is to bag Monday too! Make a 4-Day weekend out of it, and get outdoors and really celebrate America’s birthday.

Average high temperatures this week are near 80-degrees, which we exceeded earlier this week. As we move into the first week of July, expect more daily high temps in the 80’s, as July is historically the hottest month of the year. The record high this week is 95-degrees, set on the Fourth of July in 2001. That was also the hottest Fourth of July ever. The coldest Fourth ever, was back in 1993, when the afternoon high was only 52-degrees.

Jim has been forecasting the weather here for more than 20 years. You can find more Jackson Hole Weather information at www.mountainweather.com

Average low temperatures this week are near 40-degrees, like they were last week.

Last week we were running a bit below the norm. This week we should be running a bit above the norm. There are not too many years when temperatures will drop below freezing in town during this week. However, back on the last day of June in 1947 the overnight low temperature dropped to 21-degrees. That is cold enough to kill your freshly planted flowers or tomatoes.

FROM OUR READERS Presidential Portraits and Hypocrisy

Partisanship Hurts Wyoming

Ah, portraitgate, the irony you expose!

Trump’s entire election platform was based on disrespecting President Barack Obama in every way imaginable, from racist caricatures to the blatantly false claim that Obama wasn’t even an American citizen.

The big orange was elected president of the United States of America because he was so obnoxiously disrespectful to the previous president. And now we have to listen to town council lecture us about respect for that office without bursting into laughter at the absurdity of it all?

The guy who made his political reputation disrespecting the president is now actually the president, and in an ironic twist of fate is being “disrespected” by a small town mayor in the heart of the “get your cotton-pickin’ federal hands off my everything” West, who made an autocratic decision to remove a picture of the autocratic federal president, thus arousing the scornful passion of the very people who voted for autocracy and a limited federal influence on state politics.

Let’s also not forget the practical consideration of kowtowing to the minority of racist, misogynistic tourists who might not want to come to Jackson knowing that locals might not be so, shall we say, “open minded,” to xenophobia and hate speech.

Gosh, it just must be awful to belong to that minority, not feeling welcome to spew slander, lies, and vitriol from one’s own god-given Christian mouth. Spare us the self-righteous hypocrisy, town council! Just come out and say that you voted along partisan lines and we can all unrest easier knowing where everyone is really at and why you stand there.

– Frankie McCarthy

We all know the saying—Wyoming is a small town with really long streets. We are friends, family, colleagues and neighbors. We revel in our open spaces and enjoy recreating in our mountains, waters and forests. We respect our wildlife and strive to be good stewards of our lands. We value hard work, honesty and grit. We share a kinship in knowing what few others do— how lucky we all are to call Wyoming home.

The citizens of Teton County are proud to be a part of the Cowboy State. We relish in sharing Wyoming’s storied history and rich Western legacy. In 1920, Jackson became home to the first ever all-female town council.

The first national park was established just outside our borders. Ranching continues to be an important way of life for many longtime families.

Over the past several weeks, the actions of a few have been used to label our entire community. I have been proud to call Jackson home for nearly 60 years and I can attest firsthand to the character of this community. Like many towns in Wyoming, Jackson is full of passionate citizens. While we may not always agree, we respect our constitution, our democracy and our elected officials.

As a community, and as a state, we have a responsibility to be mindful of those who hold differing beliefs or views. Public actions are bound to have public reactions, particularly those that are politically motivated. And in Teton County, which relies on visitors from across the country and around the globe, the reaction will inevitably be even louder.

The Jackson Town Council made the right decision last week in voting to restore a photo of the U.S. president to the town hall. They acted boldly and swiftly to right a wrong.

Partisan politics may be the Washington

way, but it’s not the Wyoming way. We have long prided ourselves on staying above the fray of national political discourse—of maintaining a level of civility, respect and bipartisanship at the local and state levels of government. Teton County is no exception. Having served in the state legislature for 14 years representing this community, I saw the importance of this civility.

Several years ago the Wyoming State Legislature adopted the “Code of the West.”

One of the pillars of this code is “Ride for the brand.” Teton County is proud to ride for the Wyoming brand. We share many of the same core values as folks all across our state, including respect for our highest elected officials. We understand that when other Wyoming communities succeed, we all succeed.

– Clarene Law

Give Us a Health Plan with Heart While unusual, I find myself agreeing with the president that a redo of health care insurance for Americans must have “heart”— something I take to mean providing fair and compassionate insurance for all Americans.

I have yet to see this in proposals before Congress.

If Wyoming has issues (which we do as a low population, rural state that does not generate insurance business interest), our senators should act in the Wyoming way by tackling our own problem, without putting tens of millions other Americans at serious risk of financial crisis or worse, premature death due to treatable conditions.

With the current proposal, I am concerned about creating undue hardship for a variety of individuals, small hospitals and communities like those in Wyoming. Pot lucks and fundraising will not meet the shortfalls created by individual lack of health insurance—sure to happen if costs go too high, as are predicted.

SINGLE-TRACK MIND The trails are really taking shape with this summer weather. Now is the perfect time to expand your horizons and seek out new terrain.

Andy and his crew at Grand Targhee have been working hard to get their trails open. Most, probably all by now, of the cross-country trails are open. Some of the downhill trails are open and more are drying out daily.

Check the ‘ghee’s website for information but it’s already worth the drive.

All the lower trails in Teton Valley, Idaho, are open and if you can deal with a few snow patches, it’s likely you can connect some of the higher trails via the ridges.

If you want bang for your buck, do the Grove/Drake loop just off the Cedron Rd. on the way to Pine Creek Pass.

The climb has been reworked, but still plan on sweating a little to get to the top. Once you’re there, take in the view

and get ready for a fast and furious descent. It will test all your skills.

And if you’re looking for an excuse to get out of the valley for the Fourth of July weekend, head over to Sun Valley for its bike festival. It features all sorts of events, rides, music and general fun.

Thanks to everyone who came out this past Saturday and supported Teton Freedom Riders during the Pass Bash. Your donations are what allow them to maintain the downhill trails on Teton Pass.

Don’t forget to maintain your bike or take it to a shop for some love. It’ll make for a safer and more enjoyable ride if your brakes, drivetrain and controls are in top shape. And maybe it’ll get rid of that annoying creak!

See you at the Cache Creek Race Wednesday night.

For most, tax credits do not do much good if one is already on the margin. I am personally familiar with the gamble that many will take, as I did after leaving my job (voluntarily) as a 12-year county commissioner. Only my husband or I could remain on COBRA. Since he had had cancer surgery, I chose him. He could not get private insurance because of his pre-existing condition.

Bottom line: I took the risk of no insurance and was lucky to get by until I was eligible for Medicare.

I also hear that our senators say, “Show me the money.” They should start by considering both sides of the balance sheet, i.e. government savings on health care costs vs. government costs for a population that is destabilized and competing with developing countries for status in regard to maternal/child health, and other categories that affect long-term health and welfare of Americans.

Surely, someone has connected the dots that withholding family planning and contraceptive services, also fundamental to personal freedom, does not strengthen our nation. It does not improve the lives of children born to single mothers in urban ghettos or isolated rural areas and eventually creates costs to society as a whole. Other places to look for money are within the huge military-industrial complex President Eisenhower warned us about. Our military forces already surpass the next six or so largest in the world put together.

Another possibility is higher quality oversight of federal grant programs.

Perhaps the efficiency and accountability we seek can best be achieved with a more straightforward, fair and predictable health insurance model, one such as single payer or Medicare for all. No matter what the final proposal, it deserves to see the light of day and thoughtful debate before being put to a vote.

Batty Briefings Sad little scenes from the White House briefing room and what they suggest about the future of democracy.

BY BAYNARD WOODS @DemoInCrisis

If these walls could talk... it would be a good thing since the Trump administration began banning reporters from taking video at briefings.

“The bull is back,” said a reporter waving a small red cape as he walked into the briefing room a few minutes before Spicer came out in front of the lights.

4. In an interview with Laura Ingraham—one of the names being floated as his replacement—Spicer justified the off-camera briefings by claiming reporters “want to become YouTube stars.”

He’s right. But it’s mostly the newright media figures who use the briefings to take selfies making ambiguously racist hand gestures or grandstand on Periscope like Pizzagate guru Mike Cernovich. After the briefing on May 1, Cernovich made a live-streaming stink, loudly demanding to know why the press corp wasn’t disavowing violence against Trump supporters.

These new right media figures act like rebels while primarily serving up propaganda for the president.

5. On May 12, after Trump contradicted his own communications team on the reason former FBI Director James Comey was fired, he suggested via Twitter that “maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future ‘press briefings’ and hand out written

responses for the sake of accuracy???”

The briefings are sort of stupid, but we have to defend them now. Just like we have to defend CNN. While they haven’t killed the briefings yet, they have moved toward more limited “gaggles” and away from on-camera appearances.

CNN’s Jim Acosta came out after one of these briefings, on the solstice, and ripped the administration.

“The question was asked whether the president has the ability to fire Robert Mueller. You won’t hear or see the answers to those questions. You’ll only be able to read about it.”

Acosta’s general disdain for print is telling. He is in a fury over losing his TV time, even if it is for the sake of the people. But he has not, nor has anyone in the briefing, asked about Aaron Cantú, the reporter who is facing decades in prison for following the group that used black bloc techniques to disrupt the inauguration.

Cameras are important, but there are more serious violations of the First Amendment happening. In his postmodern presidency, Trump has succeeded in making the briefings about the briefings.

It will get worse. PJH

3. During the campaign and at his recent rallies, President Trump has relied on the press as one of his primary enemies—the wrestling heel. “Fake news” applies to any story he doesn’t like.

After the Republican candidate in Montana’s special election bodyslammed Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs and still won, Trump called it “a great win.”

We like to think of ourselves as embattled Ben Jacobses, to think of ourselves as Steve Bannon does, as the opposition party. We like to think of Spy magazine’s stories about Trump, the “short-fingered vulgarian.” Or we like to pretend we are above the fray, bringing unalloyed truth to the world.

But often we are enablers. Trump, the NBC star, shares a world with TV reporters that the rest of us will never access. Cable news did more to put Trump in the White House than anything else.

The media’s adoration of Trump didn’t begin with cable and this campaign. “There were four stories about Trump in one day’s issue of The New York Times newspaper,” the great newspaper columnist Jimmy Breslin wrote in 1990. “On television that night, all I saw was announcers genuflecting as they mentioned Trump’s name.”

We love the Trump show. Now the lovers—the press and the president— are quarrelling.

| PLANET JACKSON HOLE |

1. The White House briefing room feels like a mansion’s pool house, but with the carpet of a church basement.

On the eve of the summer solstice, after a week without an on-camera press briefing, the room smells like a grill doused with too much lighter fluid.

Cameramen and techies move around in loose clothes and floral shirts.

“A barbecue?” one reporter says.

“Are we invited?”

“I feel like we’d be the main course,” another says.

It has just been reported that Sean Spicer, the combative and sometimes dishonest press secretary may be moving to a new position in the White House. But he is scheduled to be here today.

He walks out even pastier than on TV: The screen eats the makeup; in person, it is cakey.

“I’m right here. So you can keep taking your selfies and selfie photos,” he says at one point.

Reporters who knew Spicer back in the day, when he was a flak for various Congress members, thought he was a good guy. But this gig started bad.

“This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration—period—both in person and around the globe,” Spicer falsely stated on the second day of his job, after berating the press for their coverage. His performance prompted Kellyanne Conway to utter the phrase “alternative facts.”

Like flaks all around the country, the Trump press team believes social media makes pesky reporters unnecessary.

Someone asks Spicer about the off-camera briefings. “We have a tremendous respect for the First

Amendment—your ability to do your job and report and seek out ideas—and we’re going to work with you,” he said.

2. “I’m press. Is this where I should go?” I ask the Marine standing at the door of an outbuilding at the end of a sidewalk lined with media booths. It was my first trip to the White House briefing room.

The Marine says nothing and stiffly opens the door. I walk in and pause.

“Can I help you?” a woman says.

“I’m a reporter.”

“Oh, you can’t be here,” she says, already escorting me out the door. “The briefing room is down here.”

“I tried to ask the Marine.”

“Oh, they’re not allowed to speak,” she says, opening the door to the briefing room for me. It was better for the Marine to let me in somewhere I shouldn’t be than to speak to me.

What is Patriotism?

Sifting through American hypocrisy ahead of Independence Day. TOM MANGELSEN/MANGELSEN.COM

BY TODD WILKINSON @BigArtNature

“P

olitics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.”

– Henry Brooks Adams (1838-1918), a historian descended from family line of two U.S. presidents For more than a generation, and for nearly as long as “The New West” has existed as a column, I routinely penned a holiday installment asking the question, “What Would Jesus Do?” The point, of course, was to gently and sometimes, not so gently, make ironic allusions to hypocrisy practiced by Christians living their daily lives very differently from Biblical wisdom they claim to espouse.

In these times when some citizens insist that a certain political party— and it alone—has cornered the market on Americans’ love for country, what better moment for reflection than the Fourth of July during this colorful year of the Trump administration.

First, let’s consider an admonition from George Washington. The country’s original president and perhaps the last to ever be mythologized for never telling a lie, offered this insight.

Washington dispensed it on Sept. 19, 1796, when he declined to serve another term as this country’s chief executive: “If I may even flatter myself, that [these counsels] may be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good; that they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.”

With Washington’s words in mind, what do you think is the true meaning of patriotism?

What good is a symbol if people reject or ignore its meaning?

Is it more patriotic to fasten a lapel pin of the Stars & Stripes to your business suit than to, in practice, wear the real values of this nation humbly on your sleeve?

Is it patriotic to put self-interest ahead of country?

Is it more patriotic to serve in a military uniform fighting in a foreign war than to don the uniform of police and fire departments protecting the homefront?

Is there greater patriotic honor in being a soldier than a public school teacher, career national park ranger or person who spent their working years faithfully delivering the mail?

Is it more patriotic to have fought in armed conflict or to have pulled political strings in order to avoid military service?

Is it more honorable to sacrifice one’s life in an unjust war promoted by politicians with corrupt motivations or to protest such conflicts by taking to the streets?

Is it patriotic to say that health care should only be made available to those who can afford it rather than the desperate who need it most?

Is it patriotic to exploit every possible loophole to avoid paying taxes?

Is it patriotic for partisan politicians (right or left) to bring the function of government to a standstill by refusing to compromise in the middle?

Is it patriotic to be known as a president and staff who chronically tell untruths and never apologize for it?

Is it patriotic to be a major politician and not release your tax returns as all of your predecessors did before you?

Is it patriotic to condemn the threat of radical Islam and yet whip up the flames of hatred in your own country toward fellow citizens by pandering to domestic extremists?

Is it patriotic to avoid denouncing and taking severe punitive action against a foreign power that tried to hijack America’s sacred democratic election system?

Is it patriotic to be a member of Congress and avoid holding town hall meetings because you don’t want to confront the ire of your own constituents?

Is it patriotic to be in favor of divesting federal public lands—a birthright of all Americans—to states that can’t afford to manage them or to support selling off those same lands to private interests that would exclude citizens from using them?

Is it patriotic to deny the existence of human-caused climate change in the face of incontrovertible scientific evidence?

Is it being patriotic to say, as wingnut radio and TV commentators do, that if a president is found guilty of committing crimes and subsequently impeached, it would be grounds for fighting a second

civil war?

Is it patriotic for veteran politicians, who served in elected office, to now sit silently on the sidelines and not condemn destructive behavior by members of their own party when surely they would have called out such conduct if it occurred on the other side of the aisle?

Most of us know patriotism, the kind memorialized on the Fourth of July, as being about devotion to country above all else. House Speaker Paul Ryan declared not long ago: “Exploiting people’s emotions of fear, envy and anxiety is not hope, it’s not change, it’s partisanship. We don’t need partisanship.

We don’t need demagoguery, we need solutions.”

We also don’t need more hypocrisy masquerading as patriotism. Enjoy your Independence Day. PJH

Sustained Duress ICE visits, contradicting messages, have local immigrant populace living in uncertainty.

BY SARAH ROSS

L

ast week confusion and fear rippled through Jackson Hole’s immigrant populace when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers swept Teton County. They reportedly visited the kitchen of at least one local restaurant, apprehending some of its staff.

According to Sherriff Jim Whalen, they took custody of four people over two days.

They also already had two individuals with them who they’d arrested in Cody.

The arrests have occured at a time when immigrants are receiving mixed local and national messages.

On one hand, ICE’s national director, Thomas Homan, recently told Congress that all undocumented immigrants “should be uncomfortable. You should look over you shoulder, and you need to be worried.”

ICE indeed has more latitude under Trump than it did under Obama: “When I say all people are on the table, that’s what the executive orders say,” Homan told CNN. “We will now enforce the laws on the books which we haven’t been allowed to do.”

Meanwhile, local authorities continue to assure immigrants that they have nothing to fear as long as they are law-abiding.

Whalen says that he has not seen local ICE officials change their policies, despite Homan’s proclamations. “I have full faith that they’re working the way they did in the past,” Whalen said.

He said he trusts that ICE continues to act on the terms of its agreement—that is, Teton County jail will temporarily hold detainees for ICE as long as federal immigration officers come to Jackson with warrants to target specific individuals with significant criminal backgrounds.

“If they were taking people into custody just for being undocumented,” Whalen said, “I would put that out in the community. I trust that they’re doing it the right way.”

If ICE was to change its practices, Whalen believes he would be alerted.

ICE “does not want to sever relationships

with local law enforcement. We’ve got a good relationship,” he said. While Whalen does not expect to sever ties with ICE, he says there are conditions under which he would stop detaining its arrestees. “If ICE started taking people into custody based on immigration status, I would not house [immigrants]. Our community wouldn’t support that, and I work for the community.”

However, much of Teton County Sherriff Department’s relationship with ICE relies on this in good faith. Local officers do not ensure that ICE officials do, in fact, have warrants, and they do not check detainees’ past criminal histories.

Questionable methods While Whalen trusts ICE’s methods, others are not so sure. Dalia Pedro, an immigrant rights activist in Casper, helped a family in March that was subject to ICE’s alleged intimidation and illegal tactics.

Pedro says ICE came to Casper to target the undocumented mother of a young family. ICE officers tracked her family over the course of a day, following her husband’s car when he drove his kids to school—though they are legal residents— and later arrived at the family home without a warrant, demanding to be let in.

Their target had no criminal history save minor traffic offenses.

Because ICE operates regionally, it is likely that those officers in Casper are the same as those who come to Jackson.

That’s part of the problem, Pedro said.

Regional ICE officers may have agreements with local authorities, but there is little holding individual officers accountable. This explains why local officials are quick to promise that high level criminals will be primary targets, while data demonstrates that in Wyoming, the vast majority of those who’ve been detained

by ICE in the last 13 years have only been charged with misdemeanors, and some had no criminal history.

“We hope institutions as a whole are doing the right thing,” Pedro said, “but that’s not always how it works … you never know who you’re working with.

Local officers aren’t supposed to ask about documentation status, for example, but that does happen. We hear about that happening.”

Similar to recent events in Jackson Hole, Pedro knows of four people who were arrested in Natrona County last week: “The arrests continue but we get no information about why they were arrested,” she said.

SARAH ROSS

THE BUZZ

“ICE should continue to find people with high level crimes,” Pedro added. “But I have a problem when ICE goes rogue, and uses questionable tactics and intimidates people.”

The secrecy surrounding ICE’s operations does not help. It is difficult to obtain information about why people were arrested, or the circumstances surrounding their arrest. Without local enforcement keeping track, it is even more difficult.

While Pedro understands ICE’s mission, she believes that the fear tactics and lack of transparency lead to avoidable problems: “Communities of color already have a tense relationship with police.

When you have local law enforcement working directly with ICE, that’s where you start having problems. People are afraid to report crimes, even when they’re told everything will be ok.”

Individuals may be afraid officers will ask about their citizenship status, or they might be afraid of having anything added to their criminal history, even if they’ve done nothing wrong.

In response to fear of ICE, some local sheriff and police departments across the country have ceased all cooperation and communication. This is not something Pedro expects to happen in Wyoming. So her priorities have more to do with transparency: “We want them to be following the rules. Do they have a warrant? Are they using intimidation tactics? Are they taking more people than their original target?”

Without more concrete information, it is easy for fear to take hold. As Jackson resident Marlen Nava said, “When people know ICE is in town, they are over cautious. A lot of people won’t drive at all.”

Nava knows what it’s like to be a target.

Her family immigrated to the States in 1998 when she was six years old. It took them a while to become documented.

She remembered one instance going to work with her mom. “We used to go with her because she couldn’t afford a babysitter. We would sit in one room while she would clean other rooms. One time, we were waiting in a room and she came in

and told us we couldn’t come out until it was all clear.”

Her family stayed safe, but recently, she’s been affected by deportations.

She knows many of the people who have recently been arrested by ICE—many of them JHHS graduates, one of them in the process of being approved for DACA: “When you aren’t documented, you’re so aware of your condition, you never know.”

Paying an impossible price

Homan lambasted liberal politicians for propagating “sob stories” about families being split up. The narrative about families being divided is not a fair one, he said: “If they take it upon themselves to have a child in this country and becomes a U.S. citizen by birth, he put his family in that position, not ICE, not Border Patrol.

And to vilify the men and women of ICE as separating families is unfair.”

From Nava’s perspective, though, the recent arrestees are a lot like her—they came to the country as young children, and some have babies of their own.

Now, they’re in a near impossible situation. The families of deportees can try to remain in the States, they can move as a family back to the country of origin, or the deportee can attempt to return to the States. All choices are financially catastrophic.

For example, Nava says that crossing the border alone can often cost up to $15,000, and people with prior deportation charges can be deported again at any time. Staying in Mexico is no easier.

According to the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, more than half of the country’s citizens live in poverty. In addition, Mexican laborers work an average of 2,327 hours a year and make on average $12,850. This number ranks at the bottom of OECD’s list. Estonia was second to last at $21,020.

Americans, meanwhile, earned $57,139 during the same period.

For now, Jackson’s immigrants live in limbo, hoping that their futures in Jackson are certain, while around them, those they know and in some cases, grew up with, are arrested. PJH

For a 90-unit complex with presumably more than one driver living in each, Lenz was concerned that the unit would be “way under-parked,” and people would resort to parking on the street or in neighboring lots.

Walker assured the council that property managers would diligently monitor and enforce parking, and ensure that tenants don’t interfere with neighboring properties. “I think we have adequate parking,” she said.

She pointed out that 80 percent of units will be one-bedroom or studio apartments. The building will also be close to town and public transportation, so tenants working in town likely won’t need a car anyway. Encouraging alternative modes of transportation, Walker said, is a selling point of their project proposal.

Project attorney Stefan Fodor emphasized that the developers have plenty of incentive to regulate parking themselves—$25 million worth of incentives, in fact. “If you have a parking problem, you’re not going to renew your lease,” Fodor said.

It is in the developers’ best interest to solve the problem before it escalates.

Lenz introduced one more condition to the table: that the units can not be converted into condominiums. “I realize down the line that any future council can change that,” he said. But putting the condition in writing now “affects the way a future council acts. It influences how they think about it down the line.”

Developer John Shelton said that agreeing to such a condition would hurt him a little financially, as banks are less eager to loan under such conditions, but he was willing to comply if it meant moving the project forward. “I want this project to serve the people in here,” Shelton said.

Finally, town councilors voted unanimously to approve both the PUD and the sketch plan, with Lenz’s added condition.

Despite his skepticism throughout the process, Stanford said the public benefit of the project outweighs any reservations he has left. “I truly want this project to be successful,” he said. “I thought there were things we could have done today to set it up better … but I’m willing to take a chance.

Frank and councilor Hailey MortonLevinson echoed the support they had given throughout the project’s lifetime.

“Healthy communities need to share in the burden of meeting community needs,” Frank said. To have 90 units built without any burden to tax payers, in the right location, is “astounding.” PJH

uesday’s Jackson Town Council meeting was a victory for restaurateur Joe Rice and for some of the valley’s workforce grappling with a historic housing crisis. Town council voted unanimously to approve Rice’s planned unit development (PUD) and sketch plan, allowing him to move forward with the construction of his 90-unit apartment complex at 550 W. Broadway, otherwise known as Sagebrush Apartments.

Rice’s battle with town council was hard-fought. Just to get to where he was on Tuesday, he and his team asked town council for a handful of exemptions and amendments to land development regulations (LDRs). The biggest, of course, was a text amendment that applies to all future apartment complexes of 20 units or more.

The amendment exempts such apartment buildings from affordable housing standards, so that none of the units need be deed restricted “affordable.”

The sketch plan in front of council Tuesday didn’t immediately sit well with Councilman Jim Stanford. The applicants, he said, were asking too much from a council that has already granted them “many, many exceptions to the rules.”

“We passed two text amendments that would in essence clear the way for this project,” Stanford said. “They’re asking for a lot of things that no 100-percent deed-restricted project has asked for.”

Indeed, among other things, the order in which Rice asked to conduct business was out of the ordinary. Rather than present the council with a sketch plan, then come back in a few months to present a final development plan, Rice and his team

presented the council with a detailed sketch plan in hopes of getting it approved out of the gate. Applicant Christine Walker of Navigate LLC, who has been working closely with Rice on the project since its inception, argued that because of the valley’s housing crisis time is of the essence, and the alternative review process would allow them to streamline development. “We want to break ground in late September,” Walker said at the June 19 council meeting. “We desperately need this housing.”

“People in this community who need housing don’t have more time,” Councilor Don Frank echoed. “This is an emergency that does not demand $4, $5, or $6 million of public money. We need to create housing for people, not talk about creating housing for people.”

Seven out of eight public commenters agreed with Frank. Liam Mulligan introduced himself as “probably the youngest person here today,” and someone who moved to Jackson after college not just to ski, but because he saw “opportunity.” The only thing in his way, he said, is a lack of affordable housing. Sagebrush Apartments, he said, are “what I need to start a career,” and have a stable place to plant his roots here.

Teton County School District trustee Bill Scarlet spoke to the hardships teachers in the district face. More than half of TCSD staff with fewer than 10 years of work in the district, he said, pays 40 percent of their income on rent, and that’s before taxes. Exit surveys reveal that 85 percent of staff that leave the district do so because of housing expenses. “We need more supply,” Scarlet said.

Elizabeth Hale’s was the only dissenting voice, speaking on behalf of wildlife. That section of Broadway, she said, is a main animal corridor where many mule deer are already killed yearly. “I’m concerned about one bottleneck on top of another bottleneck,” Hale said. “Cars going into town, and mule deer going north and south [across Broadway].”

Councilors and the applicant also had to work out parking and building design details. The buildings sit at the gateway to the community, Stanford and Mayor Pete Muldoon noted, so it’s important to really fine-tune the details. “It took months and months and months to get Redmond,” Muldoon told PJH. “We negotiated over every little detail. This is a big project, a gateway project. It’s worth trying to do it right.”

Councilman Bob Lenz called parking the “crux of this whole project.” The developers plan to build a parking lot with 90

espite people threatening to cancel their trips in response to Mayor Pete Muldoon’s recent redecorating decision, a lack of cancellations, and a congested town, suggests Jackson’s tourist economy has little to fear.

It’s no secret tourism is Jackson’s economic engine. Visitors to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks generated more than $700 million to neighboring communities last year. Domestic and international travelers spent $1.02 billion in Teton County in 2016, according to the Wyoming Office of Tourism Economic Engine report. Visitors also pay more than half of sales tax in Teton County—they saved each local household an average of $5,785 in taxes last year. It’s true, then, that decreased visitation to Teton County would hit where it hurts—in the wallets of Teton County residents and business owners.

But so far, businesses aren’t reporting such loss. Rick Howe, vice president of the Jackson Chamber of Commerce, says that responses have slowed down since last week’s decision to reinstall Trump’s portrait. The chamber has received “only a few more phone calls and letters” from concerned prospective visitors, but no cancellations to report.

Wort Hotel general manager Jim Waldrop says he hasn’t had any cancellations, despite “repeat guests informing us that they will not be coming back to Jackson.” The Wort was one of the specific businesses referenced in the many emails to Muldoon, but despite threats made to both the mayor and the hotel, Waldrop said “numbers are very strong and ahead of a record year last year.”

Teton County and its surrounding national parks are the biggest drivers of tourism in the state—60 percent of Wyoming’s visitors traveled to the northwest region of the state, which include

Jackson and both national parks. But Diane Shober, executive director of the Wyoming Office of Tourism, says she is looking forward to a busy 2017 statewide.

The August eclipse, she said, is “certainly going to give us a big boost.”

Indeed, Jackson is bracing itself for an influx of up to 100,000 people the week of August 21. “But we’re focused on an entire season, in addition to August 21 and the days leading up to it,” Shober said. And from “conversations with stakeholders, partners and businesses, there seems to be more optimism than a year ago.”

Shober’s office doesn’t keep real-time numbers of visitors, so she doesn’t have the data to back her optimism, but she says businesses across the state have reported earlier visitation this year, more walk-ins in hotels, and a higher number of visitors. “Overall, it seems 2017 will be a good year for tourism in Wyoming,” she said.

Trump slump It is possible that international tourism to Wyoming and the United States has slowed since Trump’s inauguration.

Whispers of a “Trump slump” have circulated around the travel industry since January. According to travel data company Forward Keys, international travel to the U.S. dropped 6.5 percent in the eight days following Trump’s proposed travel ban in January—the same ban that was just partially reinstated after a Supreme Court ruling.

Flight search engine Hopper reported a 17 percent drop in online searches for flights to the states. Reuters reports that Dubai-based Emirates Airline has cancelled five U.S. routes since April, citing travel restrictions imposed by Trump. The airline, which is the largest in the Middle East, is looking to make up for cancelled routes by redeploying flights to Saudi Arabia instead.

NBC reports that while tourism industry people from the U.S. Travel Association and American Society of Travel Agents say they have indeed noticed such a slump, they also acknowledge that international travel takes time to catch up with current events. The jury’s still out on just how much of an impact a Trump administration will have on foreign travel to the U.S. Wyoming Office of Tourism media and public relations manager Tia Troy has “heard rumors of the Trump slump,” but said her office is holding steady with domestic and international marketing efforts. States like Florida, California and New York might have something to worry

about, Troy said, but international visitors to Wyoming have been planning their trips for years. “They’re not flying by the seat of their pants,” she said. They come to Wyoming to have their “authentic Western adventure, exploring our wideopen spaces.” And Wyoming’s messaging, Troy said, is one of welcome. “We’re at an advantage, we’re known for our Western hospitality.”

Still, most visitations to Jackson Hole are likely domestic, as most visitors choose to drive. Seventy-three percent of Wyoming visitors arrived in a car or an RV last year. Those that do fly do so primarily from New York and California, according to an RRC Associates airport survey contracted by Jackson Hole Airport. Most international flyers come from Australia and Canada, the survey found, but collectively only made up about 7 percent of airport visitors last year.

It’s possible that, like international travel lags, impacts of a tourist boycott won’t show themselves until after the summer. But Travel and Tourism board members predicted news of Trump’s portrait removal, and any backlash to it, will soon blow over.

Amid the vitriolic emails, a small handful of out-of-state emails vowed to spend more tourist dollars in Jackson because of Muldoon’s decision to remove the portraits of Trump and Vice President Pence from town hall. A decision that has since been overturned by a town council vote.

“I was apprehensive about visiting until I saw the story about the picture,” wrote Bill Hoffman, who hasn’t visited since 1977. “Now I will spend time and $ (sic) in your town. Courage and thought should be rewarded.”

Scott Killian, a Buffalo, Wyoming, native who lives in Montana, also pledged to “travel down to Jackson this summer, not that I’m worried that the town will suffer financially from any of your recent decisions.” Killian wrote that he grew up with a bitter taste for Jackson’s “wealth, skiing, and access to two of the country’s premiere national parks” in his mouth.

But now he is seeing the town in a new light. “Thank you for doing what’s right and totally within the law,” he wrote. PJH

role of the noble creator. Some tribes have wolf clans, and there are wolf dances, totem poles with wolf carvings, and clan crests for tribes of the Northwest coast, such as the Tlingit and Tsimshian.

In contrast, Western folklore has a different outlook with stories like Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs. American idioms, too, illustrate a notion counter to what Native Americans believe: “Throw you to the wolves”; “A wolf in sheep’s clothing”; and Don’t “put one’s head in the wolf’s mouth.”

In Native American teaching, the wolf embodies wisdom, courage and faith. The material world is comprised of relentless sorrows and difficulties, and to overcome them one must trust in a higher spirit. The wolf is a symbol of that spirit on earth, as is the grizzly and the owl. But Western ideology tends to separate the human spirit from the earth and its creatures. It is a dichotomy that has fueled the debate about who gets control of what land and who has the right to hunt what animal.

Sacred space

“They all have the same typical mentality: shoot, shovel, and shut up.

Leave your Indian stuff at home.”

JUNE 28, 2017 | 13

Take a trip to Ravendale, California, and you’ll find a population of 36 and a lot of backcountry. There’s also Dobson and his ranch.

In April, the 40-acre ranch two hours north of Reno, was purchased as a future sanctuary for gray wolves. The tribal advocacy group has members across the country, but now its roots are in Ravendale, headed by Dobson, president of the Protect the Wolves Pack, and his partner Patricia Herman, president of Protect the Wolves Sanctuary. They’re in the process of registering the group as a 501c4, a social welfare organization. Dobson, an ex-Marine and member of the Washington State Cowlitz Tribe, said the advocacy group’s primary focus is protecting wolves and all the animals considered “sacred” to Native American tribes.

In Idaho and Montana alone, hundreds of gray wolves were slaughtered and maimed in traps during hunting season, and hunters and trappers have killed more than 4,000 gray wolves in the lower 48 states since 2011. Dobson’s vision is to protect sacred animals but also educate the masses on the importance of protecting wildlife and their natural habitat.

But can the masses grasp the idea that something wild could be precious and something precious could be—with one minor change—on the verge of destruction? Dobson follows the Native American Religious Treaty Rights. They seek to ban hunting, and make poisoning wildlife illegal

across North America and ban hounding and traps. They also aim to institute policies to use all non-lethal practices to manage wolves and coyotes.

While Protect the Wolves has no staff in the Greater Yellowstone Region, it does have tribal endorsements throughout North America. The Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes are still evaluating the proposal to make a buffer zone, while Protect the Wolves is working to build protections in Idaho and Montana as well. Dobson says that ranchers and government officials, who make decisions with rancher mentality: “Cattle are good, and wolves are bad,” rule these areas. Basically, he says “sacred” is not in their vocabulary when it comes to wildlife.

It’s this ethos activists in and out of the tribes want to change to reshape the dialogue behind gray wolf management planning.

Protect the Wolves has been up against governors, senators, ranchers, hunters and businessmen, and a lot of people don’t like mixing Native American traditions with advocacy groups. “It’s the typical 1800s rancher mentality. ... Ranchers everywhere are the worst. They all have the same typical mentality: shoot, shovel, and shut up,” Dobson said. “Leave your Indian stuff at home,” is what they are silently expressing, he said. It’s a constant tug-of-war between what people want and what’s right.

“I can network better by picking up the telephone and calling people.” And, indeed, he calls everybody—the head of the National Park Service, members of Wyoming Game and Fish, Governor Matt Mead’s office, Sen. Mike Enzi’s office, heads of the Northern Arapaho and Western Shoshone Tribes. But he believes the consensus among people is “don’t rock the boat.”

Sergio Maldonado is a committee member on the business council of the Northern Arapaho Tribe, and state liaison for Mead, though his liaison duties will end this month due to budget cuts. He stressed he cannot speak on behalf of the tribe or Mead. But his opinion is that wolves have a place in the ecosystem and should be respected. He is concerned Wyoming Game and Fish, and others involved in the decision-making process, do not see wolves as “sacred” in a society where “man has dominion over all things,” and a history of radically affecting the ecosystem on an international level. The effects of which are more visible every day.

“On a genetic level [the wolves] haven’t forgotten their treatment by man, and they keep their distance,” Maldonado said.

He hopes that the wolves’ contribution to the ecosystem and their sacredness to the

ast summer Roger Dobson, a tribal spokesman for advocacy group Protect the Wolves, spent two months in Yellowstone observing and videotaping 911M, an old pepper-gray wolf with sparkling eyes. He watched the blacktail alpha male of the Junction Butte pack uncharacteristically introduce another male into his pack to breed with the females.

Dobson observed him watch his pack with the wisdom of an old sage. Later that year, after a valiant fight and several injuries, Prospect Peak wolves killed 911M. After three wolves from the pack were harvested in late 2016, and another disappeared, the Junction Butte pack was only seen sporadically and it was difficult to identify its wolves.

Dobson says a turning point for him as an activist was when he videotaped outfitters riding right by the den where the Junction Butte pack lived in Yellowstone. “They were within 75 feet of the den, which is illegal, and their horses were loose, but they didn’t receive a ticket or get banned,” he said. A district park ranger called them 30 times, and Dobson asserts, “they saw the missed calls but claimed their phone never rang.”

He believes this is what drove the pack out of the area to create another den, which had a negative impact on the size and health of the pack.

“It’s disgusting,” Dobson said, “what people—ranchers and hunters—get away with.”

He said a lot of Native Americans believe in protecting wolves but don’t want to be outspoken or ruffle feathers. But a true activist, he said, doesn’t sugar coat the issues or compromise integrity by allowing rich outfitters to get away with disturbing a wolf sanctuary. When they’re “in bed” with the local politicians and ranchers who have donated to advocacy groups that play “both sides of the fence,” then prominent wolf experts support management plans that put ranchers ahead of wildlife and treat wolves like “pests.”

Dobson said he has received more than 100 death threats, but it doesn’t bother him.

He told one caller, “We’ll just meet in the woods and handle this the old Indian way,” and never heard from him again.

Native American traditions depict the wolf as a “grand teacher” and sage who returns after many years upon a sacred path to relay knowledge and wisdom to the tribe.

Their sacredness is extolled by people who study the natural world. “The gaze of the wolf reaches into your soul,” wrote naturalist and author Barry Lopez.

Indeed, wolves are important in the history of almost all Native American tribes.

They are considered closely related to humans, and loyal to their packs and mate.

The war on wolves When Yellowstone National Park was created in 1872, the gray wolf populations were already in decline in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. The creation of America’s first national park did nothing to protect the

wolves and government predator control programs in the first decades of the 1900s essentially helped eliminate the gray wolf from Yellowstone. The last wolves were killed in Yellowstone in 1926.

Not until the 1940s did park managers, biologists, conservationists and environmentalists begin the foundation of a campaign to reintroduce the gray wolf in Yellowstone.

When the Endangered Species Act of 1973 was passed, legal reintroduction was on the way, and in 1995, gray wolves were first reintroduced into Yellowstone in the Lamar Valley.

Reintroducing wolves is infinitely more

Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon and Washington.

On April 26, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service delivered a final rule to comply with a court order that reinstated the removal of federal protections for the gray wolf in Wyoming under the Environmental Species Act. A 2016 BBC article by Niki Rust references studies in which culling (selective hunting) was allowed in the United States. Culling was used to eliminate wolves suspected of attacking livestock or that were perceived as threats to human safety, even though there has never been a record of a person attacked by a wild wolf in either Wisconsin or Michigan. The study showed that wolf populations continued to grow unless culling was allowed, and then populations slowed by onethird. Therefore, the idea that “allowing hunting will increase tolerance and consequently decrease poaching” is “one of the most widespread assumptions in large carnivore management,“ said Jose Vicente Lopez-Bao, PhD, a conservation biologist from La Universidad de Oviedo in Spain.

Adrian Treves, PhD, associate professor of the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at University of WisconsinMadison, offered a possible explanation. “If poachers see the government killing a protected species, they may say to themselves, ‘Well I can do that too,’” he said.

Treves, a Harvard graduate in human evolutionary biology, began studying wolves in 1999 and 2000, when a pile of data on wolves was thrown onto his desk for analysis. He read hunter and rancher complaints, participated in focus groups, and ecological and biological data on the wolves. The Carnivore Coexistence Lab was founded in 2007, to study large predator animals like big cats, bears and wolves, and their interactions with humans.

There have been two essential takes from nearly 20 years of research. First, managers aren’t following peoples’ actual tolerance when hunting is legalized or liberalized.

Research shows that when hunting is liberalized, poaching increases and political calls to increase hunting rise. Second, poaching—the primary cause of mortality—has been misidentified or incorrectly measured.

Traditional methods make two errors: simple algebraic errors and errors in estimation when scientists and government agents NPS

tribes will be taken into consideration when Wyoming implements its final management plan.

A meeting will be held on July 17 with the Department of Justice, including wolf experts, Wyoming Game and Fish, wolf biologist Doug Smith, Dobson, and Maldonado.

A proposed buffer zone and other management planning of wolves will be discussed.

“I would suggest that we as a society fully reconsider our ideas about all living beings on this planet, as well as the environment, as our time here is fragile and this earth doesn’t need human beings. This sacred earth will continue on without us,” Maldonado said.

Protect the Wolves’ proposed buffer zone would restrict wolf hunting in a 31-mile stretch in Yellowstone from the border of northwest Wyoming to southwest Montana. Critics of the plan argue it betrays the public trust. Proponents, meanwhile, say the public trust betrays the “sacred” rights of tribes, not to mention basic science and the belief that hunting will negatively impact not only the population of the wolves but also the ecosystem. Dobson noted that “sacred” is often a term frowned upon by all sides for its emphasis on tribal beliefs.

The buffer zone request sent to Game and Fish seeks temporary suspension of wolf hunting altogether, along with the 31-mile “sacred resources protection safety zone,” near the outskirts of Yellowstones 2.2-million acres. When asked about this proposed zone, Renny MacKay, communications director for Wyoming Game and Fish, stressed the need to first review public comment.

Likewise, Enzi merely said wolves have been an issue “Wyoming has had to contend with ever since the federal government excised to reintroduce them to the state.” He said that everyone from Wyoming governors, state legislatures, federal government and stakeholders have worked hard to create a wolf management plan for Wyoming and that “the bottom line is that Wyoming should be in charge of Wyoming’s wildlife.”

dangerous than preserving them. In 1995, eight gray wolves were brought by truck from Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada, to Yellowstone. The population has since grown to an estimated 100 wolves. Since the reintroduction, wolves have kept the elk populations down, which in turn keep their damage on forests down, which allows aspen and willow to thrive. Meanwhile, beaver populations have increased, dam production has returned to normal, and river patterns have improved. Thanks to the return of the wolves to Yellowstone, and contrary to the myths of the Big Bad Wolf and the critiques of the GOP and ranchers, equilibrium has indeed returned to the Yellowstone ecosystem.

“Yellowstone is the best place in the world to view wolves,” said Smith, project leader of the Yellowstone Wolf Restoration Project.

Today there are about 60,000 gray wolves living in Alaska and Canada, 3,500 gray wolves in the Great Lakes, and an estimated 1,700 in the Western states of Montana,

public comment to develop new hunt area quotas and a draft hunting regulation. The public comment period on Chapter 47, “Gray Wolf Hunting Seasons” closed last week.

Game and Fish’s MacKay said there is a recommendation on how to regulate wolves now that they are no longer on the Endangered Species Act. This recommendation is based on biologists and scientific studies and is structured on the goal of both protecting wolves and providing sport for hunters.

Advocates like Protect the Wolves would like to keep all wolf hunting banned. But MacKay says they need to hear from everyone, and there are several advocacy groups, and thousands of comments from ranchers, government officials, hunters and general citizens to consider. July 19 or 20 will be the deciding day, when a seven-member commission (appointed

by Mead, each member with a six-year term) will review the comments on wolf regulations, and make a final decision on how to manage the current population in Wyoming.

Every year the department has a monitoring and management report for gray wolves as well as monthly updates on their conditions. Game and Fish maintains approximately 413,000 acres of land, including nearly 225 miles of streams and more than 148 miles of road rights-of-way.

MacKay noted Game and Fish has managed wolves in the past, and that he was proud of the work it had done. It work he was “honored to do.”

However, advocates like Dobson remain wary. He says he doesn’t trust Game and Fish because it has called wolves “vermin” and that it completely ignores and bypasses the “sacred” rights of the tribes. He’s concerned when wolf experts and managers want to distinguish the life of a sacred being because of money, and says that there are special interests behind the scenes that disregard nature and disregard the spirit.

As stated by Delice Calcote, executive director for the Alaska Inter-Tribal Council, “Tribal Nations and peoples believe that we are connected to the wildlife, to the plant life, to the lifeways in the waterways and airways. Our ancient historical creation stories and legends, and spiritual beliefs include the important role that the wolf has here on our Earth Mother.”

animals.

There are, just in recent years, several cases of illegal hunting of wolves and grizzlies in and around Yellowstone. On April 11, a popular 12-year-old white wolf was found illegally shot within the park grounds just outside of Gardiner, Montana. She was mortally injured and officials were forced to euthanize her. Jonathan Shafer, who works in Yellowstone National Park’s office of public affairs, says the park has not taken a position on the proposed buffer zone, but it is strongly opposed to poaching and wants to take every step necessary to find the hunters. Recently park officials announced

they would offer a $25,000 reward for a tip that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for illegally shooting the wolf.

While an official motive hasn’t been released, many advocacy groups believe without a doubt that opponents of wolves in Yellowstone, primarily ranchers and hunters, are to blame. This is just one of several cases where ranchers and hunters have acted out their dislike of wolves returning to Yellowstone. In 2012, the park’s most popular wolf, 832F or “06 Female,” was shot dead by a hunter.

underestimate the effects of poaching. Radio collaring is the typical proactive method for following the “known fate” of a wolf’s life and death. But every study has shown marked animals are consistently lost, and managers and scientists traditionally assumed that these missing radio-collared wolves’ fates were the same as known fates.

Algebra errors come from assuming causes of death are the same in unknown fates as known fates, because legal killing should be reported but none of the unknown fates are legal kills. To assume unknown fates are the same as known is simply false, Treves said. “Managers and scientists in the past who reported poaching never asked what had happened to unknown fates.”

Some possibilities are death by natural causes and illegal killing. Treves studied all four endangered wolf populations, including the population in the northern Rockies, and found legal killing had been over-estimated while poaching had been under-estimated by wide margins.

In 2010, Smith, who was studying Yellowstone’s restored predators, published a mortality pattern that said legal killing was the major cause of death in the wolf populations. Reexamining the math, Treves found that poaching was in fact the primary cause of death for the entire wolf population, “when we properly included the unknown fates” legal death fell to a third.

So what happens when conservationists don’t identity the worst threat to a species?

“By misidentifying the major cause of death for Northern Rockies wolves, they didn’t intervene against the real worst threat,” Treves said. Imagine police officers patrolling the streets for shoplifters when looting is the real problem.

Managers have great control over the fate of the wolves, and often they just aren’t paying attention. There’s an “institution inertia,” and new scientific documentation takes time to be considered. Neither a tribal advocate, a spokesman for the U.S. National Park Service, nor a Wyoming Game and Fish rep were aware of this study or interested in talking about it. When poaching is the worst threat, and the government response is to allow legalizing and liberalizing wolf-killing, history suggests this will not only increase poaching but also worsen public opinion and the attitudes of politicians in relation to these

iving in Austin in 2010, the first two musicians I met turned my ears towards White Denim, a rock quartet known for its crunchy guitars and frantic energy. In a town full of spot-on musicians and creative masterminds, White Denim cultivated a sound that appealed to even the toughest of critics. Seven albums and a decade later, the band has put out its first recording with three new members on guitar/drums/keys while the two remaining founding members, James Petralli and Steven Terebecki, have made it through a major crossroads and come out the other end with quite a flex, a Stiff one.

During the yearlong regrouping hiatus and a touring stint with soul man Leon Bridges, Petralli and Terebecki

were uncertain about the future of White Denim. Stiff, its 2016 LP, is the band’s answer, and a swell to a fivepiece with keys that’s tight as ever.

Beatles psychedelia, hooky Southern rock, and rowdy energy have shaken the nerves on what is a rollercoaster of a set that leaves the subtleties behind.

This isn’t raw, sweaty garage rock that they became known for, yet touches nearly every retro soul sound that may be in your brain’s catalog.

Still, the new material ties into the early days with a fervor that many bands never manage to tap into—the balance of song, improvisation and storytelling rock that resonates.

“We just like bands and records that have songs and great playing. I think that it’s really easy for people to get too focused on one aspect,” Petralli told Live Music Daily. “There are great songwriters that don’t really think about how to make the band arrangement.

There are great instrumentalists that just get into how crazy they can make an arrangement. The mix of all of our personalities has always kind of led to a fun kind of environment. We care about songs and we care about playing well. It never fully goes into songwriter territory.”

“Listening to bands like Traffic or Grateful Dead, I think that they had really great material and that’s what makes them a continued interest,” he added. “I can always go back to that because I like the material. They cared

Harnessing a timeless repertoire that is at once obscure and unequivocally charming, The Minor Keys are celebrating the release of its debut recording, Life in a Minor Key EP. Recorded and mixed at Three Hearted Studio in Hoback, the four-track features the heart of what the trio does best—classic swing and old-times blues from a bygone era. Lead track “Dinah” exhibits the throwback vibe, having been previously recorded by a few of the trio’s influences—Django Reinhart, Benny Goodman Quartet, The Red Stick Ramblers, and Fats Waller, among

about that stuff. I had a period of time where I was really impressed with super technical guitar playing and I still am on a certain level, but I can’t say that I’ve put on a record like that for enjoyment more than once in quite awhile.”

Two local openers represent the crux of quality Jackson Hole songwriting.

Frontman for One Ton Pig Michael Batdorf has broken out of the mold with a new solo adventure, four-piece Batdorf & The Brother Wolf, which rides the line between James McMurtry and Jason Isbell. Canyon Kids co-founder Bo Elledge, who has is eyes set on a solo record, kicks-off the show.

Jackson Hole Live presents White Denim with Batdorf & The Brother Wolf and Bo Elledge, 5:30 p.m. Sunday, July 2 at Snow King Ball Field. $5. All-ages.

Moved by the Movement Dance performance will stitch audiences into the show.

WILLIAM MUÑOZ

BY KELSEY DAYTON @Kelsey_Dayton

T

here are many forms of intimacy.

It exists between lovers. It is the foundation of deep friendship. It is forged between a parent and child. On Thursday and Friday, Contemporary Dance Wyoming will explore intimacy, as well as create it with its audience, in “Up Close,” a performance where the audience shares the stage with the dancers.

The format, which transforms the Center Theater into a black box theater with seats on stage, is Babs Case’s favorite format for the company, which has done similar shows, but not for several years.

“I feel like the audience becomes much more emotionally connected,” said Case, artistic director of Contemporary Dance Wyoming. “There’s not that distance of the apron between the dancers and the audience. The proscenium is something that really separates and creates another world between performers and audience.

This envelopes everyone in the same world—and I like it that way.”

The show was choreographed by Case, guest choreographers Gina Patterson and Dan Walczak, and the company’s rehearsal director Francesca Romo.

Romo took the reins on creating the evening performance. It is the first time Case has stepped back and let someone else lead the company.

The pieces are woven together, Romo said. It’s not quite a cohesive, singular journey. Romo describes it like kids at school playing with a bucket of oil and water. The oil and water mix and move together, but also separate, never quite fully blending.

Romo, a former member of the New York company Gallim, has never performed with the audience on stage, but knows it will change the entire feel of the production for both dancers and those watching.

“It’s almost like you are breathing in

Francesca Romo

their breath and its moving you,” she said.

While the dancers never touch or interact with the audience on stage, the setting does break down the fourth wall that separates those on stage from the public, she said.

The format—best described as intimate—inspired the theme of the show, she and Case agreed.

The evening begins with an improvisational piece created by Case that starts just outside the Center Theater. There audiences might find themselves standing next to a dancer. The dancers then move with the audience into the theater and then onto the stage, where they will see three separate pieces put together for the show.

“All are based on the idea of intimacy, or lack thereof,” Case said.

Each choreographer came at the topic from a different direction.

Walczak, a guest choreographer from New York City and former Gallim dancer, created a piece that is almost sarcastic and delves into the sentimentality surrounding the idea of intimacy, Case said.

Patterson, a prolific choreographer who has set pieces to ballet companies across the country, sourced her dance from her civil rights advocacy work. The dance is about seeing people for who they are, Case said.

Romo explores the different ways people can be intimate, whether that is fighting, or touching. Her work deals with the need for intimacy and how people crave it with others, but also the vulnerability required to truly experience it.

The stage setup is a potent choice for

this show, not just because of the topic, Case said. The dance is highly physical and uses gestures and even spoken word.

It’s an entirely different experience to see that so close, then it is to watch it from theater seats.

Romo brings a physical style of dance to her pieces inspired by her time with Gallim. There is “a controlled wildness” to it, she said. But there is also a distinctive human element. While watching classical ballet, it might be easier to think of the dancer as other-worldly. Romo wants to remind the audience with her movement that the dancers are humans. It is sometimes the quiet moments on stage in a dance that are the most powerful, she said.

The show is fresh and new and will feel different than other performances, Case and Romo agreed.

“I think it’s going to be a firecracker of a show,” Romo said. “It’s not at all traditional or what you expect.”

The performance features almost the entire Contemporary Dance Wyoming company including Heidi Christine, Michaela Ellingson, Rachel Holmes, Marissa Moeri, Luke Zender and Romo.

Contemporary Dance Wyoming is the state’s only professional modern dance company. It is based at Dancers’ Workshop where many members also teach classes.

They also travel to rural areas to provide dance education throughout Wyoming.

CINEMA Baby Driver cruises through genre homage that feels surprisingly familiar.

BY SCOTT RENSHAW @ScottRenshaw

E

Jon Hamm, Eiza González, Ansel Elgort and Jamie Foxx in Baby Driver.

driver Baby (Ansel Elgort) plugs his earbuds into a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion tune, rocks out and air-drums his way through the actual robbery, then lets his personal soundtrack guide him on a magnificently careening flight from the police through freeways and city streets.

The next morning, as he fetches coffee for his cohorts before they split the take, Baby bops down the street to Bob & Earl’s “Harlem Shuffle,” with the lyrics appearing in graffiti, window signs and lamppost flyers as though the city itself had acquiesced to being part of his personal music video. It’s a splendid, giddy-making introduction to the way this character lives in the world created through his music, even as chaos might be erupting around him.

But the more we learn about Baby, the less interesting he becomes. The omnipresent music is a therapy for tinnitus that has lingered after the childhood car accident in which both of his parents died; his involvement as a getaway driver is part of paying off a debt to the theft ring’s mastermind, Doc (Kevin Spacey), for the youthful mistake of having boosted Doc’s stolen-goods-filled car. Wright (who also wrote the script) tries to build sympathy for Baby’s desire to find some semblance of a normal life—especially once he falls for a diner waitress named Debora (Lily James)—and while Elgort serves up some nice moments as the introverted Baby, he fails to hold the center once he’s moving less to his own enigmatic rhythms.

There are plenty of interesting characters around the edges, but even then Wright keeps making awkward choices in how he uses them. Jamie Foxx gets a terrific part as an unpredictable new

member of Doc’s crew, and Hamm shows off a more dangerous side that hasn’t previously been part of his repertoire. Yet you also get Spacey doing a version of “menacing Kevin Spacey character” that feels recycled, and a strangely misguided decision regarding who becomes Baby’s ultimate antagonist. As many goofy bits of business as Wright manages to pack into Baby Driver—including a grade-school age kid who’s just a bit too familiar with how to scout a potential robbery location—there are also a number of elements that just feel slightly… off.

Nothing is quite so off, though, as the overall sense that Wright isn’t even working from primary source material.

Echoes of Tarantino are everywhere here, from the soundtrack lousy with vintage chestnuts (T. Rex, Golden Earring, Queen, Barry White) to the loquacious criminals to the abrupt bursts of violence. As the running time drifts towards two hours, much of the action starts to feel repetitive, as though Wright weren’t quite sure how to find the soulful center that has anchored QT’s best films, and that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were able to give to Wright’s other celebrations of cheesy entertainment.

It’s a frustrating thing to find such a gifted filmmaker taking on an idea where he seems to be saying, “Somebody else already did this before, and better.” PJH BABY DRIVER AA.5 Ansel Elgort Kevin Spacey Lily James Rated R

SATURDAY, JULY 1

dgar Wright loves his genre cinema; of this there can be no doubt. Since graduating from British episodic television to features in 2004, Wright has delivered affectionate takes on zombie horror (Shaun of the Dead), 1980s buddy-cop action (Hot Fuzz), comic-book adaptation (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) and science-fiction (The World’s End) with a distinctively oddball sense of humor. No matter what form he was fiddling with, he never seemed to be playing copycat. Call it satire, call it send-up, call it homage, but even when an Edgar Wright movie was nodding at other movies, it never felt like he was trying to make anything besides an Edgar Wright movie.

On the surface, Baby Driver seems to fall squarely within his wheelhouse of planting a sloppy wet kiss on an unapologetically low-brow cinematic form—in this case, the ‘70s exploitation heist thriller. But there’s something off about the tone that makes it feel like he’s filtering his vision through other approaches to similar subject matter. Instead of an Edgar Wright movie, it feels like a photocopy of a photocopy—an Edgar Wright version of a Quentin Tarantino take on the exploitation heist thriller.

That’s not the case for the opening 20 minutes, which offer a blissed-out and thoroughly distinctive shot of movie endorphins. While a trio of armed baddies (Jon Hamm, Eiza González and Jon Bernthal) rob an Atlanta bank, getaway

Rosen, meanwhile, has a longstanding relationship with Tayloe Piggott Gallery, but this is her first show in three years.

“She’s such a deliberate and thoughtful artist,” Schwabacher said. “Jane really cares about all the animals she’s portraying. She’s concerned about their environments, and our destructiveness.”

Each artist has their own space in the gallery, but their work is connected by a “quiet contemplation of nature and natural elements,” Schwabacher said.

Naito works with natural materials.

Rosen’s sculptures are all inspired by the red-shouldered hawk and its natural color—each sculpture is deeply concerned with the animal and its environment. And González has invented a way to capture nature’s song.

In a place like Jackson, Schwabacher said, their audiences have a lot to learn and connect with. “The artists are all so patient,” Schwabacher said. “They’re all really attempting to learn from nature, and have dedicated years to learning what they can from it. That’s one of the amazing things they all have in common.” PJH Mappings Matrixes Music opening, 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 28 at Tayloe Piggott Gallery.

creation process—like an architectural sketch come to life. “It’s so architecturally informed,” Schwabacher said. “The way she thinks through it, it’s almost like an outline, a blueprint … that’s what you see in her work is really her thinking process.”

From a framed piece of bark, to a complete roll of music, to a recording of the music itself, every step of González’s process is carefully detailed and on display.

It took seven years for González to finish her first song. The second took just a year and a half. It’s a steep learning curve because González invented the process herself. “It’s been something that she’s spent so much time really thinking about. There’s so much dedication to invent how to hear the tree,” Schwabacher said.

Now she works with her art students in San Francisco on her newer pieces.

The birch trees she spent time with over coffee back in Maine have become the focus of her last 10 years of work.

González’s work is on display alongside Jane Rosen’s sculptures from her show “Red (Rufuous)” and pieces from Rakuko Naito’s “Tearing Rolling Folding.” Naito, who will be at the opening, is a Japanese “optical painter” who creates three-dimensional paper sculptures with traditional Japanese paper.

His process focuses on the natural elements of the paper, Schwabacher said.

ometimes, nature inspires art. Sometimes it is the art itself.

For Cuban-American artist María Elena González, birch trees became her medium of choice in 2005. While teaching at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan, Maine, González spent her mornings overlooking a lake on campus. She paid special attention to a fallen birch tree, and noticed how the patterns in the bark resembled music­. It looked like the tree had written a song.

For the next seven years, González figured out how to bring that song to life on a pianola. She flattened the bark, found its striations, made a rubbing, and scanned the tree’s DNA onto paper that could be laser-cut to play through a piano player.

Pieces of González’s “Tree Talk” series are now featured in Tayloe Piggott Gallery, including two tracks of the music the bark makes played on a video monitor. The show, “Mapping Matrixes Music,” opens 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 28. Visitors will have the chance to see, and listen to, González’s whole artistic process.

The music sounds a little like atonal jazz, gallery assistant Sophie Schwabacher said. In an interview with Artnet News, González said she had “no expectations whatsoever” about the outcome of her project. “It was an amazing thing to hear the first time—and it’s still an amazing thing to hear. It’s such an incredible composition with musical rifts that repeat in different keys.”

González is a multi-media artist, but is best known for her “architecturally-informed sculptural work,” Schwabacher said. Her tree songs are no different.

“She views the sound itself as sculpture,” Schwabacher said. In each piece, González shows a different part of the

BEER, WINE & SPIRITS

Zeroing in on Zinfandel The uneven history and uncertain future of a great American wine.

BY TED SCHEFFLER @Critic1

A

lthough its origins go back to Croatia and, in more recent times, to Italy, I contend that Zinfandel is America’s great wine. Yes, California is renowned for its Cabernets and Chardonnays, and Oregon for its Pinot Noir, but Zin … now that’s American.

Simply put, we do Zinfandel better than anyone else.

First, a bit of Zin’s history. The search for Zinfandel’s origins dates back to the 1960s, when a plant pathologist named Austin Goheen observed that Italy’s Primitivo grape was very similar to the Zinfandel cultivated in California. It’s since been assumed by many that the

an appearance in California. It’s thought that Joseph Osborne might have made the first California Zinfandel wine after he planted Zin at his Oak Knoll Vineyard. A Zin boom followed, and by the end of the 1800s, Zinfandel was the most common wine grape variety in California.

But, Zin’s popularity ebbed and flowed. Its demise as a result of Prohibition is well-documented, and by the mid1900s, it had all but disappeared from California.

Enter Bob Trinchero, who put Zinfandel back on the map in 1972 when, at his Sutter Home Winery, he experimented with draining some of the juice from his red wines before fermentation in order to pump up the tannins and skin contact of the wine. Not wanting to waste the excess juice, he fermented it separately and christened the pinkish-colored wine “White Zinfandel.”

Thus began the comeback of the term “Zinfandel,” albeit in a bastardized form.

Well, perhaps in reaction to the offensive White Zin, serious wine drinkers and

wine makers decided to take back their Zinfandel; in the decade from 1985 to 1995, the production of real Zinfandel more than doubled in California. Zinfandel was back! And, for years, California Zinfandel was in a league of its own. Americans were rightly proud of being the biggest and best producers of Zinfandel, worldwide.

However, Zin might be heading for trouble again. In typical American fashion, many Zinfandel producers have bought into the notion that bigger must be better. There was a time when 14 percent alcohol in Zinfandel was the upper limit. Now, that’s pretty much a starting point. For reasons that are mind-numbingly technical, it’s actually easier to make a bombastic 17 percent Zin than one that clocks in at 13.5 percent. Keep this in mind: Alcohol in beer or wine can mask a lot of defects. Many Zins now contain between 15 and 16 percent alcohol, and there are those reaching for more, like the aptly named Jackass Vineyard Zinfandel, with a freakishly high 17.2 alcohol content.

Hopefully, big, brutish Zins won’t usher in another Zinfandel dark age. PJH

Zinfandel grapes grown in California were from Italy’s Primitivo vines. And indeed, a few years ago, DNA technology allowed plant pathologists to verify that California Zinfandel and Primitivo from Italy were identical clones. But there was still the question of whether Primitivo— and therefore, Zinfandel—was born in Italy.

The answer is no. It turns out that Italy’s Primitivo has its origins in Croatia, where it can be traced to a grape called Crljenak Kastelanski.

DNA testing recently verified a definitive genetic relationship between Crljenak and Primitivo/Zinfandel. The Zinfandel missing link was found.

Here in the New World, Zinfandel dates back to the 1820s, when it was planted on Long Island. By 1835, Zinfandel was being used in the Boston area as a table grape, and it first pops up as a grape used for making wine in 1847, in John Fisk Allen’s Practical Treatise in the Culture and Treatment of the Grape Vine. In the 1850s, Zinfandel makes

Unearthing the Crop Circle Phenomenon

C

rop Circles are a fascinating phenomenon. They often stretch more than 800 feet (larger than two NFL football fields) with complex and precise geometric patterns laid down into fields of summer grains.

Much of the designs are done in the middle of night, in a few hours or less, with no footprints. “Some of these formations are so immense and complex as to defy reason,” Richard Dolan, historian, academic, author, and one of the world’s leading UFO researchers, once said.

Sometimes people have seen white orbs moving around the crops at the time the grain is swirled and intricately woven into purposeful patterns. Though crop circles occur all over the world, and have for a long time, England’s crop formations have been the most numerous, the most studied and the most elaborate.

Two amazing examples

Who creates the circles and why?

Theories abound about the creators of the circles, and how they do this. However, the consensus is that these are intentional communications created by friendly non-terrestrial intelligence using advanced technologies.

The intent seems to be three things: a benevolent effort to tell us more about our place in the cosmos; to let us know what shifts may be occurring in the cosmos which are, or will be, affecting us; and to awaken us to higher levels of consciousness.

How could these enormous crop circles accomplish any of these things? People who study and interpret them point to the many levels of symbolic, mathematical and esoteric information/meaning in the patterns, coupled with the longitude and latitude of each circle, and the distinctly accelerated energy frequencies measured in the circles themselves.

Authentic vs. fake To be sure, there are authentic crop circles and manmade fakes. Scientists have discovered the plants in authentic circles have significant changes in their DNA. Plants involved in the crop formations grow 40 percent larger than the regular grains. Their root systems are also 40 percent stronger, and the grains are markedly healthier. And, though the designs cover hundreds of yards and are intricately laid on acres upon acres of plants to form the woven, complex patterns, the plant stems are bent, but never broken.

Up close and personal I have walked in some of these crop circles in England and have flown over many of them in a small plane. I can attest to their awe-inspiring patterns and powerful energies. Some breweries in England even make beer and bread using the grains from crop circles.

I leave it to your curious minds to check research at cropcircleconnector.com. There is also a compelling documentary online by Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker William Gazecki, Crop Circles: Quest for Truth.

Indeed, the 2017 crop circle season has already begun.

| PLANET JACKSON HOLE |

In summer 2001, there were two extraordinary crop circles which appeared in the same field next to England’s largest interstellar observatory. The first was an enormous rectangular honeycomb of “pixels,” which were indecipherable at ground level. From the air, the design revealed a human face that clearly and eerily looked like the controversial “face” photographed on the surface of Mars.

A few days later, a second crop circle appeared in binary code. Researchers were struck by how similar it was to the 1974 binary code interstellar radio transmission designed

by Carl Sagan and beamed by SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) into space. This was transmitted from the observatory in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, toward a star cluster 23,000 light years away from earth.

The transmission sent in the 70s showed the drawing of a man, the double helix of human DNA, symbols for the five basic elements of life on earth (hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorous) and a map of our solar system highlighting earth as the the third planet from the sun.

There were some enticing additions in the crop circle which appeared 30 years after the signals from earth were sent. In the crop circle the DNA has three strands, forming

a triple helix. Our message included five key elements in our periodic table, and the crop formation had a sixth element inserted. It was the code for silicon, and alternative life-bearing substance to carbon. You can imagine that scientists and lay people alike have speculated this crop circle might have been an answer to the Arecibo transmission.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY

CANCER (June 21-July 22) When Leos rise above their habit selves and seize the authority to be rigorously authentic, I refer to them as Sun Queens or Sun Kings. When you Cancerians do the same—triumph over your conditioning and become masters of your own destiny—I call you Moon Queens or Moon Kings. In the coming weeks, I suspect that many of you will make big strides towards earning this title. Why? Because you’re on the verge of claiming more of the “soft power,” the potent sensitivity, that enables you to feel at home no matter what you’re doing or where you are on this planet.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might not realize it, but you now have a remarkable power to perform magic tricks. I’m not talking about Houdini-style hocus-pocus. I’m referring to practical wizardry that will enable you to make relatively efficient transformations in your daily life. Here are some of the possibilities: wiggling out of a tight spot without offending anyone; conjuring up a new opportunity for yourself out of thin air; doing well on a test even though you don’t feel prepared for it; converting a seemingly tough twist of fate into a fertile date with destiny. How else would you like to use your magic?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Feminist pioneer and author Gloria Steinem said, “Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don’t feel I should be doing something else.” Is there such an activity for you, Virgo? If not, now is a favorable time to identify what it is. And if there is indeed such a passionate pursuit, you should do it as much as possible in the coming weeks.

You’re primed for a breakthrough in your relationship with this life-giving joy. To evolve to the next phase of its power to inspire you, it needs as much of your love and intelligence as you can spare.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) One of the 21st century’s most entertaining archaeological events was the discovery of King Richard III’s bones. The English monarch died in 1485, but his burial site had long been a mystery. It wasn’t an archaeologist who tracked down his remains, but a screenwriter named Philippa Langley. She did extensive historical research, narrowing down the possibilities to a car park in Leicester.

As she wandered around there, she got a psychic impression at one point that she was walking directly over Richard’s grave. Her feeling later turned out to be right. I suspect your near future will have resemblances to her adventure. You’ll have success in a mode that’s not your official area of expertise. Sharp analytical thinking will lead you to the brink, and a less rational twist of intelligence will take you the rest of the way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) In the coming weeks, your relationships with painkillers will be extra sweet and intense. Please note that I’m not talking about ibuprofen or acetaminophen or aspirin. My reference to painkillers is metaphorical. What I’m predicting is that you will have a knack for finding experiences that reduce your suffering. You’ll have a sixth sense about where to go to get the most meaningful kinds of healing and relief. Your intuition will guide you to initiate acts of atonement and forgiveness, which will in turn ameliorate your wounds.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Don’t wait around passively as you fantasize about becoming the “Chosen One” of some person or group or institution. Be your own Chosen One. And don’t wander around aimlessly, biding your time in the hope of eventually being awarded some prize or boon by a prestigious source. Give yourself a prize or boon. Here’s one further piece of advice, Pisces: Don’t postpone your practical and proactive intentions until the mythical “perfect moment” arrives. Create your own perfect moment.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) This is a perfect moment to create a new tradition, Aries.

You intuitively know how to turn one of your recent breakthroughs into a good habit that will provide continuity and stability for a long time to come. You can make a permanent upgrade in your life by capitalizing on an accidental discovery you made during a spontaneous episode. It’s time, in other words, to convert the temporary assistance you received into a long-term asset; to use a stroke of luck to foster a lasting pleasure.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Physicist Freeman Dyson told Wired magazine how crucial it is to learn from failures. As an example, he described the invention of the bicycle. “There were thousands of weird models built and tried before they found the one that really worked,” he said. “You could never design a bicycle theoretically. Even now, it’s difficult to understand why a bicycle works. But just by trial and error, we found out how to do it, and the error was essential.” I hope you will keep that in mind, Taurus. It’s the Success-Through-Failure Phase of your astrological cycle.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you should lease a chauffeured stretch limousine with nine TVs and a hot tub inside. You’d also be smart to accessorize your smooth ride with a $5,000-bottle of Château Le Pin Pomerol Red Bordeaux wine and servings of the Golden Opulence Sundae, which features a topping of 24-karat edible gold and sprinkles of Amedei Porcelana, the most expensive chocolate in the world. If none of that is possible, do the next best thing, which is to mastermind a long-term plan to bring more money into your life. From an astrological perspective, wealth-building activities will be favored in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) In my dream, I used the non-itchy wool of the queen’s special Merino sheep to weave an enchanted blanket for you. I wanted this blanket to be a good luck charm you could use in your crusade to achieve deeper levels of romantic intimacy. In its tapestry I spun scenes depicting the most love-filled events from your past. It was beautiful and perfect. But after I finished it, I had second thoughts about giving it to you. Wasn’t it a mistake to make it so flawless? Shouldn’t it also embody the messier aspects of

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your word of power is “supplication”—the act of asking earnestly and humbly for what you want. When practiced correctly, “supplication” is indeed a sign of potency, not of weakness. It means you are totally united with your desire, feel no guilt or shyness about it, and intend to express it with liberated abandon. Supplication makes you supple, poised to be flexible as you do what’s necessary to get the blessing you yearn for. Being a supplicant also makes you smarter, because it helps you realize that you can’t get what you want on the strength of your willful ego alone.

You need grace, luck and help from sources beyond your control.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The tides of destiny are no longer just whispering their message for you. They are shouting. And what they are shouting is that your brave quest must begin soon. There can be no further excuses for postponement. What’s that you say? You don’t have the luxury of embarking on a brave quest? You’re too bogged down in the thousand and one details of managing the day-to-day hubbub? Well, in case you need reminding, the tides of destiny are not in the habit of making things convenient. And if you don’t cooperate willingly, they will ultimately compel you to do so. But now here’s the really good news, Scorpio: The tides of destiny will make available at least one burst of assistance that you can’t imagine right now.

togetherness? To turn it into a better symbol and therefore a more dynamic talisman, I spilled wine on one corner of it and unraveled some threads in another corner. Now here’s my interpretation of my dream: You’re ready to regard messiness as an essential ingredient in your quest for deeper intimacy.
