THIS WEEK

AUGUST 9-15, 2017

By Meteorologist Jim Woodmencey Average precipitation in August is 1.20 inches. The wettest August ever was back in 1945, with 3.80 inches of rain. As far as record summer months for rainfall are concerned, that is wetter than the wettest July (3.26 inches in 1993), but not as wet as the wettest June (4.82 inches in 1967). The wettest summer ever was 1993, with a total rainfall for June, July and August of 8.49 inches. An average summer receives less than four inches.

SPONSORED BY GRAND TETON FLOOR & WINDOW COVERINGS

The average high temperature this week is around 80-degrees, and this will be the last week of the month with average highs above that number. For the last half of August, average high temperatures will drop into the upper 70’s.There is still some potential however for temperatures to top 90-degrees. In 2003 we had record high temperatures of 95-degrees on August 14th and 15th. We also reached that same temperature on August 9th, 1934.

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 overnight low temperatures this week are right around 40-degrees, but this is the last week of the summer with average overnight lows that warm. For the rest of the month, we dip into the upper 30’s. Not quite fall-like, although, the record low temperature this week is 22-degrees, set back on August 15th, 1959. That would be more like an overnight low in late October. Certainly cold enough to put some frost on the pumpkins, which were still growing in August of 1959.

Inflaming Rhetoric

BY BAYNARD WOODS @BAYNARDWOODS

Video footage captured clashes between police and protesters on Inauguration Day.

the complaint reads. “He then put his finger into Mr. Horse’s rectum, through his underwear. As Defendant Officer John Doe 150 pushed his finger into Mr. Horse’s rectum, he ordered Mr. Horse not to flinch.”

The officer, identified as John Doe 150, then did the same thing to another plaintiff, Milo Gonzalez, and others.

“Defendant Officer John Doe 150 did not change gloves when he moved from one individual to the next.”

According to the complaint, five to 10 other officers watched this and some of them laughed, just as the officers in Long Island did when Trump told them they didn’t need to protect the heads of prisoners.

Despite Trump’s attempt to take credit for it, none of this behavior is new. In Baltimore, Freddie Gray died after being pushed roughly into a police vehicle, and the Department of Justice report on the city’s police department shows how African-Americans, in particular, have been subjected to such degrading treatment for years.

But it is new for the president of the United States to encourage such behavior in such a blatant way. And it doesn’t work.

“I’m completely distrustful of anyone in a uniform, any kind of law enforcement person,” Emily Lagesse, another plaintiff who had never been arrested or in any trouble before, said. “That is probably like ‘no kidding’ to a lot of people of color but it is a huge thing for me to feel less safe around people who are supposed to be keeping me safe.”

Democracy in Crisis shortly after the event. “Stingballs are designed to move aggressive groups back without causing any injuries.”

In video footage recently obtained

by Democracy in Crisis, several officers toss dozens of such devices into crowds of people. In one video, in slow motion an officer to the far right of the screen tosses a grenade. The camera follows it through the air. It strikes someone in the hip, exploding and knocking them down. Then it appears to hit the ground and bounce up before exploding again on a man’s head (it could be a second device), knocking his red hat off amidst clouds of chemical smoke.

Police have argued that the protesters were part of a “black bloc” conspiracy to destroy property. But neither of the people hit by the grenade were wearing black. The only person in black, to the left of the screen, is wearing a black tracksuit with white stripes and a red hat, looking more like a German tourist than a member of an anarchist conspiracy. It wasn’t a MAGA hat, but it would be hard for a cop to tell from a distance.

Ultimately, more than 200 people were corralled into a kettle, pepper-sprayed and subjected to similar grenades. But what happened after they were in custody, according to the ACLU suit, is even worse. The kind of treatment that Trump was “joking” about “felt like the weirdest horror movie I had ever got stuck inside of,” Shay Horse, one of the plaintiffs in the ACLU suit, said. He was arrested while working as a photojournalist on Inauguration Day. Charges against him were later dropped.

“Without warning, Defendant Officer John Doe 150 grabbed Mr. Horse’s testicles and yanked on them,”

fact, that stuff is disappearing so fast we have none left.”

In an annotated version of the speech, the Washington Post claims that Trump is talking about the debate that followed the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson. Certainly, those cops had military equipment (see Radley Balko’s great “Rise of the Warrior Cop” to see just how prevalent it is). But that wasn’t Trump’s first day of anything.

Trump can be pretty unintelligible and slippery, but it seems like he is either talking about the protests during Inauguration Day or those in Portland on the day after the election.

(The White House did not respond to request for comment by press time.) A recent lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of four plaintiffs against Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department details both the use of military weapons and the infliction of post-arrest injury on Inauguration Day. The D.C. government has denied a Freedom of Information Act request filed by Democracy in Crisis seeking a list of weapons used against the protesters that day, citing “pending civil and criminal litigation.” But the ACLU lawsuit provides a long list of weapons they believe were deployed by police against protesters, some of whom threw rocks and bottles at police. The list includes pepper spray, smoke flares, concussion grenades, flash-bang grenades (which “produce loud explosive noises and bright flashes of light”), and stingers or stingballs (which are described as “explosive devices that release smoke, rubber pellets, and a chemical irritant”).

“I know we utilized some stingballs,” then-acting Police Commissioner Peter Newsham wrote in an email to

resident Donald Trump’s authoritarian streak has been on full display in recent weeks, nowhere more so than when talking to cops in Long Island.

“Please don’t be too nice,” he said, telling the officers that when they arrest someone they don’t need to protect the subject’s head. “I said, ‘You can take the hand away, OK?’” Despite the applause and laughter in the room, the line was widely condemned, including by police departments around the country.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders declared it a joke in a press briefing. When asked if police brutality is funny, she said, “Not at all. I think you guys are jumping and trying to make something out of nothing. He was simply making a comment, making a joke.”

This is the kind of joke Trump told at his rallies when he urged his supporters to be rough with protesters and reporters. When he was a candidate, it was violent demagoguery. But now that he is the president—urging members of the police force to commit violence—it is something far more sinister.

Though the “joke” got all the attention, there’s a more interesting and insidious part of Trump’s Long Island speech, in which he also applauded the use of military weaponry by police departments.

“You know, when you wanted to take over and you used military equipment—and they were saying you couldn’t do it—you know what I said?

That was my first day: You can do it. In

Burn, Baby, Burn Al Gore returns with a climate warning and Wyoming still yawns off climate change.

BY TODD WILKINSON @BigArtNature

F

ormer Vice President Al Gore is back on the big screen with a follow-up to his 2006 Academy-awardwinning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. It isn’t hard to imagine politicians in Wyoming rolling their eyes again with incredulity and, in a way, strange delight.

At the same time they loathe his message, they love Gore just as they adore Nancy Pelosi being the reviled figurehead of the Democratic Party.

Even as summer wildfires grow larger and expand in the West and as severe drought conditions deepen over eastern Wyoming and Montana, denial will be the automatic response to Gore’s next installment, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.

Reports are that in many locations it’s bombing at the box office. After all, why bum yourself out with facts when the Dow Jones is above 22,000?

More than a decade ago, Gore’s first film, more than any other cinematic project before it, elevated the science of climate change into public consciousness. Using the best science available at the time, it showed the clear correlation between burning fossil fuels and elevated carbon dioxide levels in the Earth’s atmosphere, thereby creating a greenhouse effect and accelerated warming of the planet.

It cast coal, dirtiest of the carbon-based fuels, in even more negative light and it left many in coal-producing areas of Wyoming and Montana believing that anything Gore is in favor of, they must be against.

Taking such an attitude would again be folly, for just as the link between coal and a chronically hotter, drier West is undeniable, so, too, is Gore’s next message. A clean energy revolution is coming

A still from Al Gore’s new film An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.

and states ignoring it will be left even further behind.

No one disputes that Gore isn’t exactly a dynamic, charismatic spokesman for the cause. He’s smart, sincere, loaded with more compelling scientific data and graphics. But let’s face it: Gore persuading Wyomingites that incinerating more Powder River coal will leave their state scorched and water-challenged is like Mr. Rogers walking into The Corral Bar in Pinedale and convincing outfitters wolves are good for the ecosystem.

Wyoming is indeed stuck in a rut it can’t get out of. If leaders would just come clean and be honest—people ranging from Wyoming’s entire congressional delegation to Gov. Matt Mead and Jackson Hole’s own John Turner, former board member of Peabody Energy—they could acknowledge coal isn’t ever coming back.

It would also mean confessing that the free market, more than any policies promulgated by Barrack Obama, killed coal, namely the glut of cheap natural gas resulting in a lot of former coal-fired power plants—not including the ones being shuttered because they’re so polluting— being retrofitted to gas.

As Gore’s new film points out, the alternative energy revolution, which includes ongoing breakthroughs in solar, wind, hydropower, better efficiency in transmission lines and household appliances—is happening with or without the

blessing of the GOP-controlled Congress and White House. Again, the market is speaking and so are the buying preferences of consumers.

Also not in Wyoming’s favor: Even as the state bleeds young people who are moving away to find opportunity elsewhere, it is young people who understand the science of climate change and the virtues of alternative energy.

Ever wonder why electricity consumers in Washington State and Oregon don’t want to burn Wyoming coal and definitely don’t want industrial-strength coal ports built in their backyard so that Powder River coal can be barged to China?

Wyoming’s obstinacy, its stubborn penchant for creating polemics, its willful rejection of science and belief that it will triumph by denying reality and going it “the Wyoming way,” is precisely what got the state into an epic funding crisis.

So hardheaded is the thinking in Cheyenne that some lawmakers wanted to enact higher taxes on renewables, myopically, it seems, seeking retribution for them gaining traction.

History will remember in perpetuity where Wyoming’s leaders stood when they were presented with choices between doing what they knew was right versus what would win them favor from an electorate desiring courage but not getting it.

With smoke in the air now, I’ll never forget what Dr. Steve Running, a climate

scientist at the University of Montana who shared in a Nobel Peace Prize with Gore, told me several years ago.

It’s not the appearance of snowpack in January that should shape how one thinks about climate change; it’s how fast we lose it in June and July, how sparse the summer rains, how fast the rivers drop and how hot the average temperatures are. That also translates into proliferation of smoke.

“We’re in the middle of a major transition, the likes of which the West is unprepared to deal with,” he told me. “We’re rapidly approaching a point, given the trends, where reliable winter snowpack may be iffy, and then where does that leave you in summer?”

It leaves you burning up, he concluded.

It will also leave climate-denying politicians in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, so hostile to the federal government now, demanding federal disaster relief later on.

LOCAL VIRTUE Mettle and Modesty A local alpinist sets a Grand record but insists other victors are worthier of the spotlight.

BY ROBYN VINCENT @TheNomadicHeart

T

o climb the 13,775-foot Grand Teton—Jackson Hole’s crown jewel—is counted among the greatest honors in a valley whose lifeblood is the mountains. Rising from fields of silver-green sagebrush, the Grand and its jagged counterparts draw millions of visitors to Jackson Hole each year, etching a landscape into the minds of visitors and those who never leave.

It’s a scene that morphs and sharpens depending on your position—at the base of the mountains, in the foothills, or standing on the summit, where one man recently set a herculean record.

Ryan Burke climbed and descended the Grand Teton three times in less than 18 hours—the time it typically takes one to ascend and descend the peak once. Indeed, the first time he climbed the Grand in 2007 it was a 21-hour endeavor. But what is most noteworthy about Burke’s conquest is not his progress as an endurance athlete. Instead it is how he digests major feats and how the lessons he gleans in the mountains cascade into other people’s lives.

The 35-year-old mountaineer, addictions counselor and PJH scribe ticked off what he has coined the “Teton Trilogy” on August 4. He wasn’t the only one, though, itching to lap the Grand.

His victory came only two weeks after a trio of climbers set a record for climbing and descending the same peak twice in one day. Endurance athletes Meredith Edwards and Jason Schlarb and mountaineer Jake Urban climbed the Grand two times in 16 hours. Afterward, the alpinists told one media outlet they wouldn’t be surprised if someone bested them this summer. After all, Jackson Hole athletes are an insatiable breed.

But for Burke, outshining the trio wasn’t a part of the blueprint. He first attempted the Teton Trilogy about a month before the crew set its record and was forced to turn around due to

weather. But after the trio’s triumph, he was “certainly inspired by them.”

“They created this cool path and I wanted to follow it … now I hope someone does it four times, and faster than me,” he said.

When asked how he prepares for a 42-mile mission clocking 21,000 feet of vertical gain, Burke said he summons “mind strength.” This happens to be the name of a program he launched in the valley that helps people overcome addiction. Pushing themselves mentally and physically in the mountains, his clients rock climb blindfolded, solve complicated logic problems while their heartrate is racing and hold their breaths under icy waters in high altitude lakes. The idea, Burke explained during a recent CBS interview, is to prepare folks to respond to high risk situations, whether in the mountains or at a party, with prudence.

Indeed, discussing Burke’s myriad mountain accomplishments—he has traversed all 50 Teton peaks in one outing, completed several Teton triathlons and ran up and down the Grand in three hours and 35 minutes—the conversation ultimately shifts back to his clients and his work as an addictions counselor. It is a career path he carved after watching his mother’s work in the same field. He was stunned at “the respect and awe” people had for her and the support she provided her clients, people whose trials and tribulations are often overlooked by society.

“Survivors of addiction are incredible people and overcoming addiction is harder than climbing the Grand three times or climbing Everest,” Burke told PJH. “I think it’s important to recognize these valuable members of the

community.”

As someone who once teetered on the edge of alcohol addiction until he found an outlet in the mountains, Burke draws from his experiences and the adversity he faces today as an alpinist to help his clients. “A large part of what I do is listen to people discuss overcoming challenges,” he said. “I don’t have those hardships in my life today, but I think the human species wants to find things to overcome and this allows me to relate to my clients—to call upon the mental fortitude. Climbing has become a conduit for me to connect with them.”

On Saturday, Burke said he will attempt something that far surpasses anything he’s accomplished in the mountains to date. As a volunteer for the nonprofit Teton Adaptive Sports, which helps folks with disabilities chase physical pursuits, he is accompanying athlete Lucus Oran, who has one functional arm, on the Grand Teton Triathlon (the so-called “Picnic”). It involves biking from the town of Jackson to Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park (20.5 miles), a swim across the lake, a climb up the Grand Teton, then all of it in reverse.

“Lucus approached me and I was amazed at his confidence,” Burke said.

“He said, ‘I want to do this and you can help me or I will figure out how to do it on my own.’”

While Burke is inspired by the tenacity of many Jackson athletes, he said it’s people like Oran who offer him perspective. “To see someone who overcomes daily challenges—I think that’s something that should receive more attention than anything I’ve done.” PJH

THE BUZZ Silence No More Defendant takes plea bargain in lengthy high school sexual assault case.

BY SHANNON SOLLITT @ShannonSollitt

Case in point

Right to remain silent

AUGUST 9, 2017 | 9

Two and a half years in the criminal justice system took its toll, Andrews said. People told her it would be hard, and that she would be dragged through the weeds, and indeed she was. In August of 2015, when the case was still in juvenile court, defending attorney

Beckett admits the criminal justice system is unkind to victims. It’s designed to protect the rights of the defendant—and rightfully so, he said.

But along the way, “it can be pretty abusive to the victim, even though it shouldn’t be.” Beckett says he warns every client, every victim, of the journey ahead of them.

Mulligan declined to comment on the outcome of the arraignment to protect his client—he never comments on pending cases, he said—but he confirmed that Daniel and his probation officer have 45 days to finalize a pre-sentence report that will be provided to both the defending and the prosecuting attorneys. Once that report is complete, Day will set a sentencing date “within a couple days.” It generally takes about two months from plea to sentence, Mulligan said.

Meanwhile, Andrews is ready for the sentence hearing. And to move on with her life when it’s over. She couldn’t attend Tuesday’s arraignment because she’s recovering from a broken collarbone, but she will be at the sentencing, and she will speak up.

“I want [Daniel] to hear it from me, what he’s done to me,” Andrews said.

She also hopes that other women are inspired to come forward with their stories. “I wouldn’t still be fighting if I hadn’t believed it was going to help someone,” Andrews said. “That’s my goal. It’s been a long, long process, and it’s taken getting re-victimized multiple times. But we’re almost there.” PJH

| PLANET JACKSON HOLE |

On January 6, 2015, Andrews reported to sheriff deputy Matt Carr that she had been sexually assaulted at a New Years Eve party. She was 17, and a senior at Jackson Hole High School.

She alleged that she had been intoxicated from drinking alcohol “to a degree which rendered her physically helpless” and unable to consent, according to the affidavit. DNA collected from a semen sample found on the pants she was wearing the next day matched Daniel’s, but when Carr interviewed him, he denied any physical contact with her.

That denial, Hinckley said, was the final nail in the coffin of evidence against him. If instead Daniel had claimed he had consensual sex with Andrews, it might have turned into a battle of “he said, she said,” as these cases often do, Hinckley said. But his denial “shows he was lying about it.”

A big part of Daniel’s plea included reducing the charge from sexual assault in the first degree, to sexual assault in the third degree. Both are felonies, but sexual assault in the third degree concedes that sexual contact did not cause “serious bodily injury to the victim.”

The maximum penalty is 15 years in prison, instead of 50 in the first degree.

“I was all sorts of upset about that this morning,” Andrews told PJH after Tuesday’s trial. “The difference between third degree and first degree is huge.

They’re still serious, but it’s huge.”

Still, Andrews and her mother Barbara Andrews said they were ready to accept the plea if only to bring some closure to the past two and a half years. “Claire has definitely suffered and deteriorated over this time,” Barbara said. “We were willing to make serious concessions.”

Richard Mulligan argued that the assault “didn’t cause any personal injury” because Andrews was not a virgin at the time.

“It was absolutely mortifying to have something like that brought up that shouldn’t have been brought up in the first place,” Andrews said. “Your sexual history doesn’t matter. It shouldn’t matter.”

Andrews still struggles to come to terms with what happened.

She still often tries to blame herself, “despite the act that a majority of people will tell me it wasn’t my fault.”

“As hard as I’ve tried this whole time to not dwell on what happened, it’s impossible not to when everything in your daily life is affected by it,” Andrews said. “My mental health, my physical health, my learning abilities, everything.”

Part of what took the case so long is that Daniels and Andrews were both minors—17—at the time of the alleged assault. Daniels was initially charged in adult court, but the case was transferred to juvenile court that summer and later dismissed. Beckett and Andrews re-filed in adult court this spring, and “that’s where we ended up today,” Beckett said.

For all that time, Andrews said she had to remain relatively silent about what had happened to her to avoid jeopardizing the case. She could talk about it among close friends and family, or anonymously to the press, which indeed she did just last month in PJH’s article “It Happens Here.” But her story could not officially enter the public dialogue until Monday, and now she is “ready for people to be able to talk about it.”

It was hard enough coming forward in the first place, Andrews said. But coming forward only to remain silent for two and a half years was even worse.

It felt like she was pulling herself out of the dirt, “just to be drug through the dirt again. And then not to be able to clean myself off, just having to stay covered—it sucked.”

| WELLNESS | DINING | A & E | NEWS | OPINION |

he plea deal in a two and a half year sexual assault case isn’t the one she wanted, but Claire Andrews is relieved to finally be able to come out of the shadows with her story.

“Now every single thing is public. That’s so huge for me,” Andrews said. “It’s been so hard not to be able to talk about what happened to me openly.”

Jamison Daniel plead “guilty under Alford” to sexual assault in the third-degree Tuesday morning. District court judge Timothy Day explained to the defendant that such a plea meant he was “denying guilt, but seeking to obtain benefits of the plea bargain.”

In other words, Daniel was not admitting guilt, but there is enough “strong evidence of factual guilt” against him that might lead to a guilty verdict if he were tried in court.

With the Alford plea, Daniel avoids sentencing and a potential 15 years in prison while he serves five years of supervised probation. If at any point he violates his probation, he is subject to conviction and the associated maximum penalties: up to 15 years plus $10,000 in fines.

At the end of his probation, if Day determines Daniel has been successfully rehabilitated, he will drop the sentence. Otherwise, he could still convict Daniel of sexual assault in the third degree. In essence, Day said, this agreement is a “withholding of conviction.”

But Beckett Hinckley, the prosecuting attorney representing the state of Wyoming, says the plea is essentially a guilty one. It just strips Daniel of his right to defend himself to the judge. “If [Daniel] had said, ‘Your honor, I plead guilty,’ he would have then minimized it,” Beckett said. “In order for me to assure the record was clear, I said I don’t want him saying a word. I’m going to do it.”

The obvious setback, Hinckley noted, is that now Daniel walks free for at least five years. But supervised probation, he said, is challenging, and the stakes of violating it are high.

“Supervised probation is not fun,” Hinckley said. “If he gets caught, he just turned a third degree sexual assault into a 15-year prison sentence.”

Crowd Control How soaring park visitation could rescue public lands.

BY SHANNON SOLLITT @ShannonSollitt

I

ncreased visitation to national parks is straining federal public lands and infrastructure—but it’s also what will save them. That’s what former Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell thinks. “If you haven’t had exposure, you’re not as likely to treasure a place like this,” Jewell told a Jackson Hole crowd Friday.

But as residents know, exposure, for some parks, is far from a problem. Jackson bursts at the seams with summer visitors on their way to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. This summer is shaping up to be Yellowstone’s second busiest in history, closely following last year’s centennial, park spokesman Jonathan Shafer said.

In 2016, Yellowstone saw a record-breaking 4.2 million visitors. In 2017, June visitation dropped 4.8 percent compared to last year, but NPS celebrated its 100th birthday last year, so millions of people made trips to celebrate, Shafer said. At this rate, Yellowstone is still well ahead of the previous three “normal” years.

Meanwhile, Grand Teton National Park is bracing itself for the busiest day—not season, but single day—in history come August 21. On an average day in peak season, spokesperson Denise Germann said about 20 to 25 thousand people visit GTNP. The Great American Eclipse is expected to be a well above-average day.

This peak visitation is all happening in a period of uncertainty for the National Parks Service and public lands as a whole.

President Donald Trump’s proposed budget includes a 13 percent cut to NPS. Jewell’s successor, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, is neck-deep in a review of 27 national monuments to determine if they should shrink, remain intact or be abolished completely. Mother Jones reported that of the Interior’s new confirmed staff, 21 have some affiliation with resource extraction industries. Only three have conservation or even outdoor recreation backgrounds.

Yellowstone was stretched for resources long before Trump took office, but a

decreased budget will only put the park further behind. Approximately $632 million worth of repairs await attention, the largest of any park in the country. And while visitation skyrockets, the amount of staff the park employs remains relatively stagnant. The park has employed between 350 to 550 staff per year since 2000. In that same amount of time, visitation has increased from 2.8 million to 4.8 million. Accounting for such high visitation, Shafer said, has been a high priority for the park for some time now.

“We did a complete study last year about visitation in Yellowstone,” Shafer said. The results of the study will likely be released this month. Shafer could not readily share the exact results, but said that a big consideration the park now faces is how to manage visitor expectations and encourage responsible stewardship.

“We know all about all the different animals in the park. The least studied species in Yellowstone is the human,” Shafer said, borrowing a quote from park superintendent Den Wenk.

So YNP brought on a team of social scientists to study humans in 2015. The better they understand human behavior in the park, the logic goes, the more equipped park staff can be to manage and mitigate human impact—impact like overcrowded campsites, unsafe wildlife interaction (who can forget the visitors who put a bison calf in their car to save it), and all-around wear and tear.

Yellowstone, like many of its public land brethren, is a delicate ecosystem.

The more people tread on its lands, the heavier the burden. Boardwalks intersect the park to keep visitors off of fragile thermal features. Signs warn visitors not to approach wildlife, for both human and animal safety. Locals know the saying: a fed bear is a dead bear. But it’s not easy for an organization to compel compliance or heed understanding from 4.8 million people.

Still, Jewell says not visiting national parks in this day and age is equally harmful. People are less inclined to fight for something they know nothing about.

Passing the torch Jewell is this year’s Teton Science School Spirit of Conservation award recipient, and was the keynote speaker at Friday’s 50th anniversary celebration.

But just six months ago, she served the White House as Secretary of the Interior.

Teton Science School executive director Chris Agnew listed her many accomplishments during her tenure in the White

Yellowstone crowds amass for one of nature’s displays.

House: “She brought conservation into the 21st century, bridging conservation, education and access,” he said. “Under her leadership, NPS expanded to tell the whole story of America, including Harriet Tubman National Historic Park or Stonewall National Monument.” Locally, Jewell helped designate 640 acres of land, Antelope Flats, as part of Grand Teton National Park.

Jewell also oversaw the designation of Bears Ears, which is now under review, as a national monument. Bears Ears, she said, is a perfect example of humans’ power to damage public lands, but also save them.

“Bears Ears is under threat in part because we all have geo tags on our phones,” Jewell said. If somebody posts a picture to social media of a cultural site, or artifacts, without removing the geo tag, “everybody knows where that is. That is a very, very real threat.”

But perhaps a bigger threat, she said, is to leave the area unprotected. As a federally protected land, Jewell said, “there are more people out there that you can educate on how to visit these places respectfully, that you can educate about the importance of leaving artifacts where they are for anthropology and archeology and future visitors of future generations.”

Indeed, people across the country, and especially in the White House, are less likely to care about the value of public lands if they do not understand them. If she were still Interior Secretary, Jewell said her biggest priority would be to make to make sure that “Nick Mulvaney and the budget committees in the house and senate, and frankly American people broadly, understand that there is tremendous value in public service, public servants, public lands.” Public lands, she said, make the United States “unique among just about all nations because of the treasures that we have under our stewardship.”

To land stewards and conservationists who feel disempowered, Jewell offers this: “Elected officials care about what their

constituents say.” It might not feel like it, Jewell said, “but they do listen.”

Also, money talks. The outdoor recreation industry, Jewell said, is “much bigger than people think”—bigger than automotive, bigger than pharmaceutical.

According to Outdoor Industry Association’s “Outdoor Recreation Economy” report, outdoor recreation is an $887 billion industry. Consumers in Wyoming spend $5.6 billion per year.

Wyoming’s congressional delegation, however, has continually tried to pawn off public lands in favor of oil and mineral extraction. Rep. Liz Cheney’s voting record consistently favors transferring federal land to state control, arguing that federal management hinders resource extraction and takes jobs away from Wyoming’s workforce.

Meanwhile, OIA’s study reports that outdoor recreation in Wyoming creates more jobs (50,000) than oil and gas, mining and extraction combined (27,000).

“There are industries in DC that are very narrow and very deep and very wealthy,” Jewell said. “They are speaking with money in a way that influences people on both sides of the table.” The job of the concerned conservationist, then, is to speak louder, and often.

Take, for example, Outdoor Retailer.

Salt Lake City has hosted the bi-annual trade show for more than 20 years, and gains approximately $45 million in visitor revenue in return. But last month, OR said goodbye to Salt Lake because of Utah’s public land policies, including multiple attempts to rescind Bears Ears. Starting in January, Denver will host Outdoor Retailer and reap all its benefits, and likely more (OR is predicting an economic impact of $110 million over the course of three shows).

So keep visiting public lands, Jewell said. Learn responsible stewardship.

Spend money where it counts. Show up.

NEWS OF THE

WEIRD

A local chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees in Battle Creek, Michigan, is butting heads with Western Michigan University this summer after the school brought in a goat crew to clean up an overgrown woodlot on campus, leaving union workers without jobs. The AFSCME’s grievance cites a collective bargaining agreement with WMU, but university officials counter that “the area is rife with poison ivy and other invasive species,” which are difficult for humans to remove. The 20-goat crew, rented from Munchers on Hooves in Coldwater, Michigan, is ahead of schedule in clearing a 15-acre area.

With Friends Like These …

Robert Kanoff, 49, celebrated Independence Day in an unusual way: High on drugs, he was dropped off in his birthday suit at a Tempe, Arizona, Walmart by two people who thought it would be “funny to see him naked,” said police. There he walked around the store wearing only shoes and carrying methamphetamines. Maricopa County sheriff’s officers caught up with him around 10 p.m. across the street from the store.

Under the Influence

Police in Slidell, Louisiana, stopped a “car full of drunks” on July 8 and arrested the driver for driving while intoxicated. The car’s passengers rode home in a taxi, but one of the women then drove back to the police station to bail out the driver. Slidell officers arrested the woman for DWI, and she joined her friend in jail. “Lesson of the day,” Slidell officers posted on their Facebook page: “Don’t drive drunk to a police station in order to bail out your drunk friend!”

Lacking a Filter

Now You Have Our Attention

On July 6, IRS workers in Ogden, Utah, received a fake bomb from Normand Lariviere, 68, of Olympia, Washington. The U.S. Navy veteran and former civilian defense contractor has been disgruntled with the Department of Defense since his dismissal in the 1990s and has a history of mailing disturbing objects to the IRS to protest paying taxes. In 2016, Lariviere sent one of his fingers, a bullet and a marijuana joint to tax collectors.

“Many things I could do,” he threatened. “I’m not going to tip my hand.” n Drivers speeding down Bedford Street in Lakeville, Massachusetts, may touch the brakes when they spot a parked police cruiser at the side of the road. But the “vehicle,” a plywood and aluminum sign painted to look like a Crown Victoria black-and-white, is a ruse perpetrated by resident Kelly Tufts to get drivers to slow down. Tufts parks the “car” in his driveway, especially on weekends, to protect dogs and kids from speeding traffic. “We’ve had some people give us the one finger,” Tufts said. “If it was their neighborhood, they’d enjoy it.”

Awesome!

A mathematician in Bucharest, Romania, scored a 44,900 euro profit when he made an exciting discovery at a flea market there: a rare World War II Enigma machine, used by the Nazis for encrypting messages. After paying the unwitting seller just 100 euros ($114 U.S.) for it, he took it into his care, cleaning and repairing it and learning how it worked. On July 11, a Bucharest auction house sold the machine for 45,000 euros ($51,500 U.S.) to an unnamed bidder.

Bright Ideas

Why hire moving professionals for just one appliance? A man in Brisbane, Australia, gamely tried transporting his full-size refrigerator on a Queensland Rail car in April.

He first rolled the fridge, strapped to a handcart, onto an elevator to the train platform. Shortly after guiding it into the train carriage, the man and his icebox were removed from the car by transit officers, who wrote him a $252 ticket. Apparently, his item would not fit under a seat, in an overhead rack or in a designated storage area, as Queensland Rail rules specify.

Update

Zimbabwe’s “sperm bandits” have reportedly struck again. An unnamed 39-year-old male teacher from Macheke was abducted as he waited for a bus on July 2, drugged and gang-raped by a gang of three women.

Since 2011, the “semen harvesters” have struck several times, sexually assaulting their victims and collecting semen in condoms to sell later for “good luck.” The latest victim told The Standard newspaper that for two days he was held against his will and subjected to further abuse under threat of being shot. Finally, his abductors dumped him by the side of the road.

Baseball fans at the Los Angeles Dodgers-Kansas City Royals game in Dodger Stadium on July 8 were treated to some righteous moves on the dance cam by “Rally Granny,” an older fan who capped her performance by flashing her bra at the 40,000-plus spectators. “You don’t see THAT much at a baseball stadium,” deadpanned Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger (who actually missed the spectacle).

Two women in Arlington, Texas, called police for help on July 10 as a mentally ill man doused himself with gasoline in preparation to commit suicide. When responding officers began talking with the distraught man, he poured more gasoline on himself and appeared to be holding a lighter in his hand. Hoping to subdue him, one of the officers used his Taser on the man and the gasoline ignited, engulfing him in flames. Officers wrapped him in blankets and removed him from the house. His family reports he was severely burned, and at press time he was in critical condition.

n Police in Swansea, Illinois, suspect the heir to a brewery fortune has graduated from driving drunk to flying high.

August Adolphus Busch IV, 53, landed his helicopter around noon on July 10 in an office complex parking lot outside St. Louis. Police and FAA investigators were still trying to determine why he had landed there and whether any aviation laws had been broken when they were called back to the parking lot around 8 p.m., where Busch, appearing to be intoxicated, was trying unsuccessfully to take off. Swansea police reported that Busch failed field sobriety tests but passed a breath test, and after they secured a warrant, Busch was taken to a local hospital for blood tests. (Also found in the helicopter: four loaded guns, several prescription pill bottles and eight dogs.) At press time, no charges had been filed.

Unfortunately, the company’s founder, Zhao Shuping, didn’t provide instructions about returning the rentals after use, and most of the umbrellas have disappeared. Zhao noted his mistake, saying, “Umbrellas are different from bicycles. … With an umbrella you need railings or a fence to hang it on.” He plans to replenish his stock with 30 million umbrellas nationwide by the end of the year.

and haven’t succeeded, meaning the architects of this thing better get busy.”

Fuller spent months on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota researching for her novel—her first work of fiction. And though the subjects and the culture were foreign to her, the visible, lasting impacts of colonization and racism were all too familiar.

Quiet Until the Thaw chronicles two Lakota cousins from youth through adulthood as they grapple with generations of injustices that occurred during and prior to their lifetimes. What they share in history and ancestry, they lack in likeness: one, Rick Overlooking Horse, tries to navigate his life quietly and peacefully. His cousin, You Choose Watson, takes a more violent approach. Through prison sentences, parenthood, war, treaty negotiations and broken promises, they learn that their lives, like their histories, are inextricably linked, even when they seem completely at odds.

listen to people of color. Indeed, Fuller first learned the injustices in her home country of Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, by reading critical white authors. “The first writers to awaken me were white,” Fuller said.

“Whites in southern Africa had the only real access to editors and publishers, so that’s a good part of the reason, but even when black writers began to find a way to get their work published, it was the white writers whose work first gave me the beginnings of a sharp awareness of who I was—I was [among the people] they were writing about, the villains of the plot. They’d described our system of oppression, and me and everything around me was undeniably part of that system.”

In America, as in the Rhodesia of her youth, white people are the perpetrators of “violent racial capitalism,” Fuller said. So they must also be directly responsible for trying to dismantle it.

“Since white supremacy was created by white people, it has to be undone by white people. Obviously, minorities have been trying for a few hundred years,

There’s a tradition among Shona tribes— Zimbabwe’s largest indigenous group—of atonement. For three days, victims and perpetrators of violence come together and share their perspectives.

On the first day, the victims tell their stories. On the second, the perpetrators tell theirs.

That’s what Alexandra Fuller tries to do in all her writing: atone, account, reflect. Her latest book Quiet Until the Thaw is no different—except that unlike her other books, which are memoirs, it’s a novel, and she is not the subject. Fictional Lakota men are. And a white woman, some have criticized, has no business writing about Native Americans.

Fuller knows that. She expected such a reaction.

“I came into this project very aware of appropriation,” she said. “I anticipated the question. I get it.”

Indeed, Fuller understands the inherent danger in white people co-opting the stories of people of color.

That in itself, she admits, can be a form of violence.

But the other reality, she said, is that white people tend to listen to other white people before they

Oppressive parallels

Fuller was born in England, but moved to Southern Africa when she was just two years old. She grew up through a series of wars and dictatorships, through apartheid and intense colonization. She has detailed and worked through the ways she and her family contributed to, or at least were complicit in, racial violence in three separate memoirs. From an early age, she and her siblings learned a false narrative that black people were dangerous. She understood that, even as her family struggled financially and personally, there were certain privileges being white granted her—she could have a nanny fired at the snap of a finger, for example.

“You can only consume that amount of violence for so long before it comes out in your children, and I know that because that’s what happened to me,” Fuller said. “My portal through this was the grief, and work and liberation with working through my own lifetime of what being a white settler means— on two continents, by the way. I’ve spread out the pain.”

So when she first arrived on the rez, she recognized “the stamp of racial capitalism” from her own childhood. The Indian reservations of today are not all that different from the tribal trust lands in Zimbabwe, where a powerful minority of white people oppressed black Zimbabweans, confining them to a small slice of land. Fuller saw these parallels, and she wanted to hold a mirror up to herself, and to her readers. “I was just trying to shed light, that’s all I can do,” she said. “People here have a very hard

time owning their violence.” Look at Pioneer Day, she said. It’s a celebration of white people taking over Native land. And people still celebrate it without any sense of the irony.

“The Indian war is not over because every single treaty between the U.S. government and Native communities has been violated, ignored, changed,” Fuller said. So she weighed her options: Was it more dangerous for her to tell this story, or not to?

Fuller says she came onto the reservation “on my knees.” For the first time, she was the minority. She started her journey riding 200 miles on horseback with 400 Lakota to commemorate the murder of Crazy Horse. “I was out of my depth completely,” she said.

One of the men she interviewed, the inspiration for her main character, made sure she knew her place. “I’d been on the rez a couple months, he said to me: ‘I don’t mind answering your questions—you seem interesting, you seem like you have a reasonably decent heart for a white woman and won’t be completely irresponsible with this. But you need to know that before I say anything to you, I have to forgive you first.’”

Changing one person

Fuller cannot delineate between telling her own story, and telling someone else’s. After her novel was released in June, she said a handful of interviewers (this reporter included) asked her about the difference between writing novels and writing memoirs.

There is none, Fuller said. Storytelling is a huge responsibility, whoever the subject. And she is no stranger to the admonishing: She shouldn’t write about her childhood because it is unfair to her family. She shouldn’t write about her divorce from her American husband, with whom she had three children. She shouldn’t uncover the ugly truths of Wyoming’s coal mines.

“I’d have to be a different person if I did what I was told,” Fuller said.

But if she’s learned anything, it is that she cannot write to change the world. That notion, she said, is a “complete delusion … such self-important egotistical rubbish. The only person I can change is here.”

She admits she embarked on her novel to be a “voice for the voiceless.” But what she learned instead were her own biases—the subtle yet pervasive myths she still held onto. “All my writing is just a reflection of myself,” Fuller said.

But that, she says, is enough. A big part of change, and of healing, is atonement. “There can’t be reparations without account.” It is painful, Fuller said, and “there is no one more allergic to pain in this country

“Part of waking up is being alerted to the condition of your suffering. Also the condition of your mortality” than the white middle-class.” Still, she says every awakening she has is liberating, and if she can help someone else wake up, she’s done more than her job.

Fuller used to pose this scenario to her three kids: You are one of three people trapped in a room with no doors or windows. The other two people are asleep, and you realize the room is running out of oxygen. Do you wake the other two up, or let them sleep through their deaths? Most young people, Fuller says, say let them sleep.

Her response: “No, you idiots, you wake them up. Part of waking up is being alerted to the condition of your suffering. Also the condition of your mortality.”

Besides, Fuller said, one those people might have the key. “You may wake up the person with the ability to lead you out of where you are.”

“Lazy” work

AUGUST 9, 2017 | 15

Fuller moved to the states, and to Wyoming, in the early 90s, newly wed to an American and with a young baby girl. She tried to live the “American Dream.” She had three children, all of whom she adores and admires. But it was a lifestyle that was “really unbearable for me.” There’s a high price to pay for the American Dream, and for her it felt like it meant relinquishing her freedom.

“A woman comes to the point where she either completely loses her mind, or takes charge of it, speaks it,” she said. So she divorced her husband in 2012. “This liberation for me, I was so hungry for it.

I was either going to go mad, or do this.”

By “this,” she means live in a yurt with her partner Wendell Field. It’s both freeing and familiar,

| PLANET JACKSON HOLE |

Fuller just returned home from her book tour.

She found, however, that in many places she visited, her audience was not there for her novel. They were there for her memoirs, especially her first, Don’t Lets Go to the Dogs Tonight. In it, she examines race, war and complicated family dynamics through the lens of a young white girl in Rhodesia.

“The book that still resonates with most people is the first, but differently now,” Fuller said. Where readers once felt shock, now, perhaps, they feel a sense of recognition that “extreme violence of racial capitalism is coming back to hit us, the way it did these white Rhodesians in what is now Zimbabwe.”

Indeed, the violence Fuller witnessed growing up and the violence she sees in the United States are uncomfortably related. “I feel like I’m in this horrible, horrible film where you get to do, in a completely different universe, a life that you think can’t be repeated because it’s so violent, so self-evidently wrong, so based on lies and fear and greed and self-preservation.”

Fuller wrote her first book perhaps as a warning for generations down the line. “I thought, well, it’ll be so long before this cycle shows up again, my kids won’t know what it is.” But the people she sees in power today are characters she’s met before. “These are knee-buckling dangerous times.”

She’s not shy about her opinion of the president: “Possibly the worst to have hit this country since the white man showed up and started to screw things up.” But she is critical because she’s seen it before.

The tyrants of her past, she said, constantly pushed the boundaries of what they could get away with.

The leader of her present does the same. “You can do these things, and people aren’t outraged, in fact they’re encouraged,” Fuller said.

she said, to live in an environment where she is 100 percent responsible for her quality of life.

“It reminds me of living in a village in Zimbabwe,” she said. She dug her own phone line. She plants her own food, though Jackson’s climate doesn’t always yield a fully stocked fridge. She knows the wood stove that heats her home “intimately.” She knows how much water she uses, because she carries it all home herself. And it’s liberating, she said. That space, and her own self-reliance, has allowed her to reflect and write and open up in ways she could not have known. To atone.

And all of this is related to her work. But “some of the work looks very lazy”— a fact Field continually points out, Fuller admitted. Sometimes, it looks like the two of them sitting around a campfire in the yurt park, just holding space for each other. Sometimes it looks like meditation. It looks like sitting in one of her many hammocks, and garlic growing in her garden, and the note to mice asking them not to eat it. (Field wrote that note, but Fuller kept it around.)

Almost always, it is a practice in listening—to her 23-year-old daughter, who has “courage and wisdom decades beyond her,” but “the experience of someone who’s only had two and a half decades on the planet.” To her 20-year-old son, who just recently wrote an article in PJH about his complicity in a sexist adolescent culture. To her 11-year-old daughter who, like her sister, gives advice well beyond her years, like not to bring a new romantic parter to the rodeo with family you’ve never even met. And it is listening to the subjects of her stories. But most importantly, to herself.

Back to the Shona tribes of Zimbabwe. On the third day of the atonement, the victims and the perpetrators of violence sit together under the same roof. “You all died that day,” Fuller said. “You’ll be infected with the trauma of your victim, and those will be your demons.” Both parties are at once equal, because “everything is cyclical. It doesn’t matter.

The only cycle you can truly undo is your own.” So Fuller continues to wake up, and die, and wake up again. She continues to atone. “In as poetic a form as I can put it.” PJH

Recognize, rinse, repeat

Then there’s the “distrusting and shutting down of the media.” Fuller says the current administration’s attack on the media make her blood freeze. She thinks about it, and puts her head in her hands. “I know how this ends, is the problem… it doesn’t end well for anybody.”

She recalls a poem by German anti-Nazi Lutheran pastor Martin Niemoller that begins: “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist.” It ends: “Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.”

In the Rhodesia of Fuller’s childhood, the only acceptable identity was white, straight, and gender conforming. To question that was an affront to national identity, and people died because of it.

“We’re hearing this now,” Fuller said. “We’re hearing language that questioning white supremacy is to be self-hating.” Racism is alive and well, she said, but the people most responsible are the people with the most to lose, so they refuse to listen. But Fuller keeps trying.

“The thing I just keep coming back to over and over again is how toxic silence has been. People say you can’t change the past. That’s true. But you can have a profound impact on the present, by being present and by being accountable.”

MUSIC BOX MUSIC BOX Vestiges of Simplicity Argentinian-Swedish songwriter Jose Gonzalez sizzles at the Center and Targhee Bluegrass commemorates 30 years.

BY AARON DAVIS @ScreenDoorPorch

W

hen I first laid ears on the whispery folk and nylon-stringed guitar of Jose Gonzalez, one name came to mind—the late great Nick Drake. The spare beauty of this simplictic style made a big comeback a decade ago with the workings of Bon Iver, Sun Kil Moon, and Iron & Wine.

Interestingly, Gonzalez is the one that has remained closest to these haunting roots, more recently adding beat-like percussion, backing vocals and mild distortion to his minimalistic albums.

The solitary aura of such a recording coaxes you into the meaning of each word, each sentiment, and links a solo performer to his or her audience, skewed toward the art of poetic lyricism.

In this case, Gonzalez is also an instrumental virtuoso of Samba-infused arpeggios on guitar and on the cuatro, a smaller stringed instrument in the lute family. Gonzalez has toured recently with a five-piece band and even a performance with an avant-garde 20-piece orchestra at London’s Royal Festival Hall earlier in the year, harking back to a 2011 tour that included the large ensemble.

While Gonzalez suggested, “If I’m playing more than 45 minutes solo, it can get a little boring,” his fanbase would argue otherwise.

“With a band, there’s less room for the vocals, the lyrics,” Gonzalez said on a call from England. “Many people are used to the solo versions of the songs and prefer it that way. I travel with a light designer and sound engineer and we’ve worked hard to perfect the sound of a [plugged-in] nylon string guitar to make it warm and loud with added bass.”

Gonzalez is Argentinian-Swedish.

His family fled Argentina at the beginning of the “Dirty War” two years before Gonzalez was born in 1978, landing in a suburb of Gothenburg, Sweden. There,

Jose Gonzalez

he grew up listening to Latin folk and pop music such as Cuban singer-songwriter Silvio Rodriguez as well as seeing Bob Marley and Michael Jackson in concert. His performance career began in the early 90s, playing guitar and bass in a couple of hardcore bands influenced

by Black Flag and The Misfits.

Since releasing his solo studio debut in 2003, Veneer, he offered In Our Nature (2007), Vestiges & Claws (2015), and last year’s single With the Ink of a Ghost. The gap in albums is due to his trio project, Junip, with Tobias Winterkorn and Elias Aray, which have released two EPs and two full-length albums, Fields and Junip. Regardless of his collaborations or solo ventures, the music remains genuinely original and low-key to the core.

Gonzales considers his strength the six-string, and allows the instrument to inspire word themes.

“Lyrics are not my strong side and it can sometimes be a struggle, though less and less with each of my five albums,” admitted Gonzalez, who consistently uses altered, droned guitar tunings such as Drop D. “I sit a lot with it because I have high aims. At the same time, I recognize good poetry. What comes natural is the guitar fingerpicking and finding melodies. I guess I’ve gathered tricks along the way to not get stuck for too long of a time. Lyrically, I let the music inspire me.”

This will be Gonzalez’s debut in Wyoming. Oddly enough, his first association with Wyoming was through skateboarding as a kid in Sweden, and a random mix tape.

“This skateboard shop used to hand out mix tapes to the kids,” he explained, “and for some reason I got a tape that was sort of like country music and there was one song singing about Wyoming, about cattle. It was a weird tape. I didn’t really like it to be honest, but thought there was probably something cool on it that I needed to learn to enjoy.”

30 years of grass at the Ghee

Step right up, ladies and gents. It’s the original Teton County festival, the place where tunes are picked in the lot, where strangers quickly turn to friends, where karma is seemingly unanimously paid forward, and stacked daily bills of top-notch artists play to a few thousand rather than tens of thousands. It can be found at 7,400 feet on the west slope of the Tetons at the 30th annual Grand Targhee Bluegrass Festival.

Talent buyer of Vootie Productions Tom Garnsey has been there from the beginning and has the perspective of a three-decade progression, not to mention proud moments from building such a local gem. “Most important to me is the respect that it receives from the musicians who have graced the fest over the years,” he said. “They continue to spread the word … we have artists constantly coming to us wanting to play a festival that’s hard to get to in the middle of nowhere. When the artists love playing a venue and are treated well, the audience will follow. We also have one of

Hell, Bob Troutman married Molly at Targhee Bluegrass!”

While the Targhee crew tried to dream up a bunch of 30th anniversary specialties, what it realized was with an awesome lineup, crowd, and setting, it’s really got a life of its own.

New Blood The Art Fair’s “local emerging artist” joins an esteemed crew of creatives this weekend.

BY KELSEY DAYTON @Kelsey_Dayton

M

ake no mistake—the Art Association’s summer art fairs aren’t some last-minute craft fair, or backyard sale where anyone can set up a booth. “It’s legit,” artist Natalie Connell said.

Indeed, the event is selective and competitive and draws incredible artists from around the country. It’s why Connell almost didn’t apply for a juried show—she was a little intimidated. But knowing she had nothing to lose, Connell submitted her work and was accepted. Then the deal got sweeter: through another application process she was named the Local Emerging Artist for the fair.

Connell is one of 145 artists who will show work in the fair. It will feature artists from 25 states selling jewelry, ceramics, paintings and metal work, each selected by a jury of professional artists, curators and gallery owners.

This is the 51st year the Art of Association of Jackson Hole has presented the art fair. According to a press release from the Art Association, the July art fair drew more than 5,500 people. The August fair will feature activities for all ages throughout the weekend, including yoga, an obstacle course and a performance from the Grand Teton Music Festival, as well as other musicians like Aspen Dawn Jacquet, Coburn Larsen, Rob Bass and DJ Bdubz. There also will be face painting and henna tattoos for kids, as well as a creative hands-on project.

The August art fair features 98 different artists from the July event, including Connell. The Emerging Artist designation is meant for artists who have limited experience exhibiting and selling work.

With the title, Connell receives assistance and a mentor to guide her through her first Art Fair of Jackson Hole.

A jury selected Connell as emerging artist, noting her work in the last year and a half using ink, acrylic and watercolor on wood to create distinctive pieces.

For Connell, this award is emblematic of a lifelong affair. As a child, she told her mother she was going to draw a picture a

day and if she kept with it, when she grew up she’d be an artist.

“Art has always been there in various forms my entire life,” she said.

Connell actually stuck to the schedule for several years. But as she got older, she viewed art more as a hobby, listening to the voices that said she could never make a living doing something so creative.

She eventually taught herself graphic design and found a creative outlet in her work. It reignited the creative part of her brain and when she wasn’t working as a designer, she was painting, she said.

In 2015, she found herself established as a graphic designer, no longer spending hours trying to find work, and she took a daylong painting class in the Tetons.

It reminded her how much she loved to paint and she decided she wanted to devote more time to art.

In the last few years she’s shown work at small shows and she’s pushed her paintings in new directions and experimented with various mediums.

“I’ve realized if you want to do watercolor, acrylics and paint in the same piece and still call it fine art, that’s fine,” she said.

Most recently she’s experimented with watercolor painting on wood. She’s magnetized to capturing the things she knows best—nature and the mountains.

Her work currently explores fleeting but intense moments outside, like the few seconds you see an animal in the wild and make eye contact, or that moment when you are on an early morning ski tour and the sun finally breaks the darkness and you see your objective for the first time.

“Those are the moments I’m trying to capture in a painting,” she said.

Connell will bring about 20 paintings, most watercolors on wood, but a few acrylics on canvas, to the art fair. She’ll also have some prints and notecards.

“And whatever else I can finish in the next week,” she said.

She is going into it without expectations. Of course, she wants to sell work, but she hopes to find, as her mentor did, that she starts conversations with art lovers that turn into relationships that last years. And she hopes this showing at the art fair is just the beginning. PJH

its own people, rather than pour money into weapons and military. Meanwhile, it can’t expect to garner support from certain countries if it isn’t “helping refugees in those countries,” she said.

“The world doesn’t really help enough,” Schloss said. The richest countries are doing the least to help people from the most disaster-struck countries, but they should be doing the most. In Europe, she said, the European Union as a whole “should help” those countries, “but they wash their hands of it. They say, ‘that’s your problem.’”

“It’s all a big mess,” Schloss said. “I don’t know how to solve that.” But she has an idea of how to start, and it’s as easy as empathy. “The main thing is to make peace,” Schloss said. And peace starts with understanding. This is why Schloss continues to share her story around the world. As dire as things seem, she still holds on to hope.

“It can’t only get worse, worse, worse,” Schloss said. “It has to get better again. I have hope for the younger generations of people who have seen what is going on.”

History isn’t linear, Schloss said. It moves up, and down, toward and away from justice. We’re in a low point, but we can’t stay there forever, she said.

“That is why people have to understand what’s happening. That’s why it’s important that I talk, and people listen, and say, ‘Yes, that’s right we have to change.’” PJH There are three opportunities to meet Eva Schloss: doors open for her first talk 5:30 p.m. August 17, and at 7 p.m. August 20. Tickets start at $35, and are available at JewishWyoming.com/AnneFrank. VIP brunch tickets are $1,000 for a morning of intimate conversation with Schloss. A collection of Heinz Schloss’s paintings will be on display throughout the weekend.

the things she saw: illness and starvation, families divided, and constant death.

“Many, many people died,” Schloss said.

“Very often in the morning the person who slept next to you was dead.”

She and her mother survived the camp.

Her brother and father did not. Years later, she would find a collection of oil paintings her brother Heinz painted while in hiding. “That is how he kept his sanity,” Schloss said. To this day, she regards art as one of the most powerful mechanisms of healing. After the war, she became a photographer.

“Art helps people to keep their sanity, to express themselves,” Schloss said. And in retrospect, it helps people understand experiences that would otherwise be foreign to them.

Schloss has only become more politically active with age. When someone has seen as much as she has, she said, it’s all they can do to prevent the same disasters for younger generations. But the world she lives in today, she said, looks eerily similar to the one that almost killed her.

“It’s just as bad,” she said—maybe worse. The only difference is who the targets are. Now it’s Muslims in Syria and Iraq, Schloss said.

“There are 8 million refugees, and nobody wants them. The Holocaust would never have happened … if people could have found a home somewhere else, [Hitler] wouldn’t have killed them. It’s the same now.”

Today, Schloss lives in London, but is tuned in to politics around the world. The U.S. government right now, she said, is “laughable … but not really. It’s still more or less the most powerful country, but it doesn’t seem to work.” On the one hand, Schloss said, the American government should focus more on the well-being of

istory is perhaps society’s most powerful lesson—but only if we listen. Stepsister to Anne Frank and Holocaust survivor Eva Schloss laments that we still have much to learn.

Schloss, 88, kept her story to herself for more than 40 years. It was “too horrendous,” she told PJH, and she didn’t want to burden her family with its gravity. But in the 1980s, she recognized her history in the political climate around her. “People said, ‘When we’ve learned our lesson, the world will be at peace’ … but it isn’t, is it?

People hadn’t really learned.”

She published her first book, Eva’s Story, in 1988 and has published two more since. Sharing her story is now her life’s work. The more people know about the horrors of the Holocaust, she said, the less inclined they’ll be to repeat it. “They have to learn about the history, how it happened, why it happened,” Schloss said.

Schloss will share her story and talk about Frank’s at Snow King Ballroom Thursday, August 17, then again Sunday August 20.

Frank’s diary is among the most read books in history, Schloss said, and gives a firsthand, real-time account of a life in hiding. Schloss’s story draws many parallels, and picks up where Frank’s left off— Frank, of course, did not survive to tell the tale of her internment.

After two years in hiding, Schloss remembered the exact day she was captured and sent to Auschwitz: May 11, 1944. It was Tuesday and happened to be her 15th birthday. By Friday, she and her mother arrived at Auschwitz. “When we realized we were in Auschwitz, we thought this was the end of our lives,” Schloss said.

With the clarity and authority of someone 70 years removed from trauma, but no less impacted by it, Schloss detailed

House. IPAs are a good match for dishes like those served at the International IPA Day dinner: tandoori chicken and Chettinad lamb, for example. A classic preparation of Chettinad lamb or mutton is brimming with exotic flavors: fennel seed, cumin, ginger, garlic, star anise, cardamom, chili powder, coriander, turmeric, cloves, cinnamon and more. A dry, crisp IPA helps tone down the heat of spicy Indian and Asian dishes such as this one, and the floral aspects of the ale beautifully embrace flavors of ginger, garlic, spices and such. So, the next time you go out for Thai, Sic hua n/Hu na n, Vietnamese or Indian/Pak istani fare, think about cracking open a cold India Pale Ale to help beat the heat.PJH

style for you. It’s a crisp, bitter, hoppy beer, but one that’s well-balanced at its best. Given its origins, it’s a little ironic that the best India Pale Ales are now brewed in this country, not England, where the Brits tend to favor lower-alcohol beers.

Most IPA is 6 percent alcohol or more. The new Monsoon Monster IPA from Squatters in Salt Lake City weighs in at 7.3 percent alcohol by volume, packaged in a 1-pint, 9-ounce bottle. It’s a collaboration of Squatters’ brewers Jason Stock and Dan Burick, in concert with Oregon brewing legend John Harris, formerly with Full Sail.

Falconers Flight hops (named for deceased Northwest brewer Glen Hay Falconer), combined with others, make this an ultra-hoppy Northwest-style IPA: very aromatic, with floral, grapefruit and lemon notes.

Given India Pale Ale’s origins, it’s probably not too surprising that IPA is a perfect foil for the richly spiced, complex foods you find at restaurants like Bombay

ugust 2 was International IPA Day, and there were celebrations of India Pale Ale around the world.

India is integral to the history and development of India Pale Ale, the origin of which dates back to the 18th century, and to the occupation of India by British colonists. Then, as now, the Brits loved their ales. And so, attempts were made to ship British ales to expatriates and colonists in India and elsewhere.

But delicate English ales didn’t fare very well in casks on the open seas, or in hot

climates. After months at sea, the ales would usually arrive at their destination flat and sour.

After many attempts by the British navy at various methods of storing and shipping beer to the colonies, a solution was found. Surprisingly, it came in the form of a beer recipe, not new technology for shipping or storage. Keep in mind that we’re talking about a time before the advent of refrigeration or pasteurization. In those times, hops and alcohol were the only means of preventing beer from spoiling. So, in the 1790s, a London brewer named George Hodgson surmised that by adding extra hops and extra alcohol to his standard pale ale, it might better withstand the difficult voyage to India. Voilá! He was right.

The result was a high-alcohol, somewhat bitter (due to the large amount of hops) brew that came to be known as India Pale Ale. And Hodgson’s India Pale Ale, brewed more than 200 years ago, was the precursor to the wonderful India Pale Ales available today.

If you love hops, as I do, then India Pale Ale might just be the beer

Don’t Worry, Just Breathe

W

We all have a powerful and effective mechanism for rapidly short circuiting stress. This totally free and ever present stress buster, over which we have total control, is our breath. By learning to slow down the breath and control it, we can quickly return to inner calm, clarity and consciousness. Then we are capable of making excellent choices and proactive decisions. As always, there is so much intelligence designed into our incredible bodies.

One exercise to try This simple yogic breathing practice asks you to count to yourself silently as you inhale slowly and deeply through your nose. Then you will double the count as you exhale fully through the nose. For example, if you inhale slowly to the count of three, you will exhale slowly for the count of six; if you inhale to the count of four, you will measure the exhale to the count of eight, etc.

Most people find silently counting to four on the inhale and to eight on the exhale is a perfect rhythm.

Find a quiet place to sit where you won’t be interrupted for about five minutes. Maintain a straight spine and gently close your eyes. Count silently to yourself as you take a slow, full inhale through your nose. As you exhale fully through your nose, you will double the count. Repeat this for four rounds breathing comfortably so you never find yourself gasping for breath. Gently open your eyes and notice how much better you feel. Do this as often as you like.

Enjoy learning to use your breath to intercept worry and stress so you can be calm and alert before, during and after this eclipse, or at any time.

Preview for next week Stay tuned, as I will share some information about how solar eclipses are meant to give us a cosmic push to upgrade our lives. PJH

A built-in antidote

Most of us have experienced that the way we breathe can impact both our body and mind. A key part of yoga is the practice of conscious breathing called pranayama. This is literally the “control of life force,” aimed at increasing vital energy in the body and mind for maximum wellbeing. Yogic breath work is simple and scientifically proven to ensure being more calm, more centered, revitalized, clear headed and resilient to stress, both in the moment and long term.

ith the approach of the Great American Eclipse, people tell me daily they are worrying about everything from what dire things the eclipse might portend, to stressing that our cellphones and internet signals might not work. Other worries folks have relayed to me include how the massive influx of visitors to a small town could sharply diminish supplies of food and gas, and how it might strain our overall infrastructure and contribute to pollution.

It is indeed hard to resist being caught up in all the hype. And it seems the intensity of this angst increases by the day, and no wonder because stress is contagious.

If you are finding yourself worried, edgy, anxious and/ or fearful, keep reading and learn a simple technique to ensure you stay calm. I will clarify the bigger picture impact of eclipses in a future article.

But first… the word “worry” comes from an old AngloSaxon word meaning “to choke” or “to strangle.” That’s a pretty accurate description of what worry does to us.

The more stressed we become, the shallower and more rapid our breathing is. It’s not news that worrying never improves anything, and it undermines our wellbeing.

The short list includes: exhaustion, digestive upsets, skin break outs, hair loss, sleepless nights, backaches, headaches, weight gain, moodiness, high blood pressure, and it also messes with memory and mental clarity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Each of us comes to know the truth in our own way, says astrologer Antero Alli. “For some it is wild and unfettered,” he writes. “For others it is like a cozy domesticated cat, while others find truth through their senses alone.” Whatever your usual style of knowing the truth might be, Leo, I suspect you’ll benefit from trying out a different method in the next two weeks. Here are some possibilities: trusting your most positive feelings; tuning in to the clues and cues your body provides; performing ceremonies in which you request the help of ancestral spirits; slipping into an altered state by laughing nonstop for five minutes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Would you scoff if I said that you’ll soon be blessed with supernatural assistance? Would you smirk and roll your eyes if I advised you to find clues to your next big move by analyzing your irrational fantasies? Would you tell me to stop spouting nonsense if I hinted that a guardian angel is conspiring to blast a tunnel through the mountain you created out of a molehill? It’s OK if you ignore my predictions, Virgo. They’ll come true even if you’re a staunch realist who doesn’t believe in woo-woo, juju, or mojo.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Some zoos sell the urine of lions and tigers to gardeners who sprinkle it in their gardens. Apparently the stuff scares off wandering house cats that might be tempted to relieve themselves in vegetable patches. I nominate this scenario to be a provocative metaphor for you in the coming weeks. Might you tap into the power of your inner wild animal so as to protect your inner crops? Could you build up your warrior energy so as to prevent run-ins with pesky irritants? Can you call on helpful spirits to ensure that what’s growing in your life will continue to thrive?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) In 1985, Maurizio Cattelan quit his gig at a mortuary in Padua, Italy and resolved to make a living as an artist.

He started creating furniture, and ultimately evolved into

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano defines “idiot memory” as the kind of remembrances that keep us attached to our old self-images, and trapped by them. “Lively memory,” on the other hand, is a feisty approach to our old stories. It impels us to graduate from who we used to be. “We are the sum of our efforts to change who we are,” writes Galeano. “Identity is no museum piece sitting stock-still in a display case.” Here’s another clue to your current assignment, Taurus, from psychotherapist Dick Olney: “The goal of a good therapist is to help someone wake up from the dream that they are their self-image.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Sometimes, Gemini, loving you is a sacred honor for me—equivalent to getting a poem on my birthday from the Dalai Lama. On other occasions, loving you is more like trying to lap up a delicious milkshake that has spilled on the sidewalk, or slow-dancing with a giant robot teddy bear that accidentally knocks me down when it suffers a glitch. I don’t take it personally when I encounter the more challenging sides of you, since you are always an interesting place to visit. But could you maybe show more mercy to the people in your life who are not just visitors?

Remind your dear allies of the obvious secret—that you’re composed of several different selves, each of whom craves different thrills.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Liz, my girlfriend when I was young, went to extreme lengths to cultivate her physical attractiveness. “Beauty must suffer,” her mother had told her while growing up, and Liz heeded that advice. To make her long blonde hair as wavy as possible, for example, she wrapped strands of it around six empty metal cans before bed, applied a noxious spray, and then slept all night with a stinky, clanking mass of metal affixed to her head. While you may not do anything so literal, Cancerian, you do sometimes act as if suffering helps keep you strong and attractive—as if feeling hurt is a viable way to energize your quest for what you want. But if you’d like to transform that approach, the coming weeks will be a good time. Step One: Have a long, compassionate talk with your inner saboteur.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “My grandfather used to tell me that if you stir muddy water it will only get darker,” wrote I. G. Edmonds in his book Trickster Tales. “But if you let the muddy water stand still, the mud will settle and the water will become clearer,” he concluded. I hope this message reaches you in time, Capricorn. I hope you will then resist any temptation you might have to agitate, churn, spill wine into, wash your face in, drink, or splash around in the muddy water.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) I hope you’re making wise use of the surging fertility that has been coursing through you. Maybe you’ve been reinventing a long-term relationship that needed creative tinkering. Perhaps you have been hammering together an innovative business deal or generating new material for your artistic practice. It’s possible you have discovered how to express feelings and ideas that have been halfmute or inaccessible for a long time. If for some weird reason you are not yet having experiences like these, get to work! There’s still time to tap into the fecundity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The fates have conspired to make it right and proper for you to be influenced by Sagittarian author Mark Twain.

There are five specific bits of his wisdom that will serve as benevolent tweaks to your attitude. I hope you will also aspire to express some of his expansive snappiness. Now here’s Twain: 1. “You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” 2. “Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned.” 3. “It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.” 4. “When in doubt, tell the truth.” 5. “Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Tally up your physical aches, psychic bruises, and chronic worries. Take inventory of your troubling memories, half-repressed disappointments, and existential nausea.

Do it, Pisces! Be strong. If you bravely examine and deeply feel the difficult feelings, then the cures for those feelings will magically begin streaming in your direction.

You’ll see what you need to do to escape at least some of your suffering. So name your griefs and losses, my dear.

Remember your near-misses and total fiascos. As your reward, you’ll be soothed and relieved and forgiven. A Great Healing will come.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) This is the Season of Enlightenment for you. That doesn’t necessarily mean you will achieve an ultimate state of divine grace. It’s not a guarantee that you’ll be freestyling in satori, samadhi, or nirvana. But one thing is certain: Life will conspire to bring you the excited joy that comes with deep insight into the nature of reality. If you decide to take advantage of the opportunity, please keep in mind these thoughts from designer Elissa Giles: “Enlightenment is not an asexual, dispassionate, head-in-the-clouds, nailsin-the-palms disappearance from the game of life. It’s a volcanic, kick-ass, erotic commitment to love in action, coupled with hard-headed practical grist.”

a sculptor who specialized in satirical work. In 1999 he produced a piece depicting the Pope being struck by a meteorite, which sold for $886,000 in 2001. If there were ever going to be a time when you could launch your personal version of his story, Aquarius, it would be in the next ten months. That doesn’t necessarily mean you should go barreling ahead with such a radical act of faith, however. Following your bliss rarely leads to instant success. It may take years. (16 in Cattelan’s case.) Are you willing to accept that?
