Fries are meant to come with onion rings
I am front of the house manager at Stiegler’s. I was sooo excited to see that
JHweekly wrote about our burger. I was very happy to find out that you had
chosen it to be “Best burger to eat at the bar.” With all that enthusiasm I
started reading your review... Oh, well what can I say... I am sorry to hear our
authentic Austrian uniforms may seem scary but I understand our Barack
schnapps takes some getting used to :). I was totally OK with the article until I
read some false information about us.
I don’t know where your reporter got her information from but our burger
is available in BOTH: the bar and the main dining room. We serve both menus
in both places and it has always been this way (28 + years...). Also... Your reporter wrote: “The best part about it was that a few onion rings made their
way into my pile of fries.” Our burger is always served with a mix of french
fries, fried jalapenos and onion rings. It is the mix that our chefs created for the
dish and we proudly serve it. So I guess it didn’t just happen so that onion rings
“made their way into pile of fries.”
Our employees had read the article and were as surprised as I was. It was a
touch disappointing to read untrue information because it gives readers the
wrong idea of what we do and how we operate. I don’t really expect anything
from this email but maybe in the future you could check your sources before
printing the number.
Thank you for spending your time on reading my email. Please, come and
check out our burger and schnapps selection for yourself. I personally love
both. I think our burger is simple and delicious. The DISH has been perfected
by some chefs so I know there are greater ones out there.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK
Jake Nichols
Stop asking the people what they
want – they don’t know
County Commissioners and
City Council members are probably sorry they ever asked for the
public to weigh in on the Comprehensive Plan. The long wild
ride has sure been one thing:
comprehensive.
On Monday, town and county
officials signed off on the final
step of the Comp Plan during a
special joint meeting. Jackson
Hole residents were invited to
participate in the process from
the beginning. Websites were
created, surveys were mailed and
emailed, phone calls were taken
and fax responses compiled.
Town and county staffers plowed
through mounds of advice, creating fancy maps where buildings are to be built and people
are to be housed in them.
A consultant was hired, paid,
and then repaid when he wanted
more money. Who can blame
him? He had to wrangle together
the disparate opinions of a valley
that is notorious for coming late
to a party. Impossible? Not if you
have nearly five years and
$500,000 to spend on it. (Figures
provided by Save Historic Jackson Hole).
A consultant was
hired, paid, and then
repaid when he
wanted more money.
Who can blame him?
More than one group has
come forward now in the
eleventh hour to say they hate
the plan or want to tweak the
plan. At some point – and that
looks to be May 8 when the Plan
is scheduled to be adopted –
someone just needs to John
Hancock the thing and stop asking for public input.
Look what happened when the
Town Council tried to pull up a
few stop signs. It should have
been a slam dunk of a decision
but when a public comment period was opened at a Council
meeting, everyone and his
mother had an opinion. The
Town buckled. Throw out the
$10,000 traffic study. Nevermind.
Now the Town held an open
house yesterday to offer residents of South Cache Street the
opportunity to join the process
yet again. Input is requested for
the proposed redesign on South
Cache. Sidewalks are slated to
be widened and Friends of
Pathways has chimed in at the
last minute to ask that a bike
lane be included. The project is
slated for the spring of 2013
but, judging from what a production Redmond turned out to
be, it’ll be a miracle to break
ground before the end of
Obama’s second term.
Imagine Aaron Wallis with kids
I’m not sure who Aaron Wallis is or what motivates him to write the way
he does, but his article last week regarding the thefts at Teton Toys last fall was
the definition of irresponsible journalism. I guess I can see the humor in observing that a couple of ten-year-olds were the criminals of the year, but suggesting that their “only avenue” to success is to become drug dealers is
offensive beyond all belief. Having met with and accepted heartfelt apologies
from the boys, I can say with all confidence that both the boys and their parents recognized this as a critical learning experience. Wallis assumes that
“children learning from their mistakes and the importance of honesty in our
society” is BS- I hardly know how to respond to such a claim. I hope that
Aaron is not a father.”

145,000 reasons to support mutt mitts
Your recent “Diss” of the PAWS Mutt Mitt program is not only factually incorrect, but just plain idiotic. You are correct in stating that most dog owners
scoop the poop and deposit the bags into a proper receptacle. In the 20 stations that PAWS manages, we supply 145,000 mutt mitts annually. A small percentage of these are forgotten on the trail system, but many trail users pitch in
and pick them up. It’s not the ludicrous problem you describe.
Next: Mutt Mitts take 90 days to decompose. There are many factors that
affect how long it will take to decompose – namely, temperature, moisture and
sunlight. So, while it may take 90 days for some bags to break down, it’s a lot
better than the years it takes for plastic bags to decompose.
Point 3: Any half-wit can walk on Cache Creek after the first snow melt and
figure out that dog poop does not disintegrate in 48 hours. Where do you
come up with your data? There are hundreds of piles left on our trails from
people not picking up during winter. We don’t need to research this. Look
around - it takes 4-8 months.
Lastly, the idea that dog poop is a natural fertilizer. Whether or not a specific
type of poop is beneficial to plants depends on the pooper’s diet. So, for feces
to make a good fertilizer it has to contain digested plant matter. Dogs eat meat
and therefore, their poop makes bad fertilizer. You mention a “corral scrape”.
Great idea – The PAWS Board, employees, Forest Service and a few volunteers
have done a Spring Cleanup on Cache and Emily’s Pond for many years. We no
longer feel it is our role to clean up after the public.
You do bring up one good point, and that is the idea that our money could
be better spent. The Mutt Mitt Program costs our organization $20,000 annually. Maybe it’s time for PAWS to reevaluate the entire program. Since this is a
sanitation issue, maybe it is time to turn it over to the town, county and Forest
Service. We could be using that money to promote adoption of animals or on
spaying and neutering – two programs that are crucial to our mission. Maybe
PAWS doesn’t need to be concerning ourselves with cleaning our trails anymore. It’s kind of a thankless program – don’t you agree, Jake?

Vernal equinox
This unusual leap year sets us back a calendar day and in 2012 the sun crosses the celestial equator, beginning spring in the northern hemisphere on Mar. 20. On this day the sun rises directly in
the east and set directly in the west; as the days become increasingly longer. The new season causes
drastic changes to the snowpack. Melt-freeze crusts cap the cold snow, making it challenging to find
soft turns.
Last week’s above freezing temperatures and rain started the transition from a cold winter pack to
a wet spring pack. As the snow warmed, water percolated into the snowpack breaking down bonds
and causing wet slide avalanches. During the transition period it is as tricky to forecast avalanches.
Old weak layers are woken up and slopes which were once stable lack cohesion and become ripe for
sliding.
Along with longer, warmer days the spring also brings us surprise squalls, where inches an hour
fall from the ski and refresh the sun beaten snow. Last week we finally reached a 100-inch base in
the Rendezvous Bowl. The newly loaded snow lies on hard surfaces, making it easy to release soft
slab avalanches. So enjoy the spring skiing while it is good, because conditions change quickly this
time of year. – Lisa Van Sciver

The “Morning After Pill”
Simply the best?
There was a big party at The
Rose to celebrate the Best of Jackson Hole, and as there was free
food, I stopped by. I have never
seen so many cool people in one
place. The reason I knew they were
cool is because I didn’t know anyone. After I got full on barbeque
pork sliders and jalapeno poppers,
Richard, the editor, told me I was
ineligible to win a drawing because
I worked for JH Weekly. That pissed
me off and I left.
Everyone from politicians to
lawyers, from first place winners
to last bought ad space in the
Weekly; Doug Schultz got an ad
from the Center for Resolution for
a third place Best Lawyer. Jessica
Rutzick, won the silver Best
Lawyer and bought an ad claiming
she is a member of an “all woman
litigation team.” No tension in
that office.
David DeFazio won Best
Lawyer; Mack Mendenhall won
Best Realtor; maybe next year
they’ll have a best serial killer
award.
One real estate agent who didn’t
place in the competition still
bought an ad claiming to be a Certified Distressed Property Expert.
This person has helped distressed
homeowners “seek” $1,250,000 in
debt forgiveness. That is like stock
brokers, who have coincidently,
made people more broke, claiming
they are seeking 20 billion in capital appreciation for their customers. Seeking is cool I suppose,
but getting is more cool.
Carol Mann ran an ad for being
I have never seen so
many cool people in
one place. The reason
I knew they were
cool is because I
didn’t know anyone.
Best Cosmic Character as selected
by the editors. Mann apparently
does soul readings and channeling
sessions. I assume soul reading is
contacting the spirit of James
Brown and channeling sessions
help us learn to better control the
TV remote.
Mark Menolascino, in appreciation for his Best Physician and
Best Alternative Medicine Practi-
tioner awards, offered as thanks
(or perhaps a bribe) 2-for-1 hyberbaric chamber sessions. I can
hardly wait.
There were six winners in the
category of Best Architects even
though there were only suppose to
be three. Why the screw up? Did
they forget overlay with the plumbing or try to stuff boilers and electrical panels for a ten thousand
square foot house in a 10 by 10 foot
mechanical room? Was their design
too much Old West, too much new
West, or just too much? Do they
think RFI stands for Regularly Forgetting Information? Not to worry;
they can blame the contractor.
Judd Grossman was chosen second Best Musician; when the husband of the publisher can’t even
win his wife’s contest, there is a
serious ethical problem. Hopefully
she didn’t charge him for his ad.
I counted 64 advertisements relating to The Best of Jackson Hole,
many of them full page but I didn’t
see any ads from 1st, 2th or 3rd
Best Gay Hangout. Maybe the winning businesses will hire a consulting expert at $25,000 a month to
define Character Districts or offer
Statement of Intent.

CAN CAUSE ABORTION
Within one week after fertilization, the new life
implants in the lining of the mother’s womb.
Although receiving nourishment there, the baby
is genetically unique and biologically separate
from her or his mother.
The “morning after pill” might or might not
prevent fertilization. If fertilization does occur,
however, the pills will have hardened the lining
of the womb, so when the tiny week-old human
embryo reaches the womb, she or he cannot
attach to the lining. That is an abortion, because
the life of that girl or boy ends.

Cowboy State Corruption
A new study says Wyoming is susceptible to dishonest government.
By Richard Abowitz
Wyoming has scored near the
bottom on a new study on corruptibility in state government.
The State Integrity Investigation
created by the combined efforts
of two journalism outlets (Center
for Public Integrity and Public
Radio International) and an advocacy group (Global Integrity)
fails Wyoming on government
transparency and accountability
in addition to ranking the state
48th worst in the nation.
Gordon Witkin, managing editor for Center for Public Integrity,
notes that the report does not
measure actual corruption but
rather rates the laws that allow
the public to be sure of the honesty of elected officials in the
state. Witkin notes, “Rules in
Wyoming are fewer than in other
states. We found that in 9 of 14
categories we looked at where
Wyoming gets an F.” The categories Wyoming failed in terms of
transparency and accountability
include: public access to information, executive accountability,
judicial accountability, state civil
management, state pension fund
management, state insurance
commissions, political financing,
lobbying disclosure, and ethics
enforcement agency.
Among the main reasons
Witkin offers for Wyoming’s dismal showing: insufficient auditing, a weak media checking-up
on officials, and limited disclosure laws on all levels for conflicts of interest by state
employees. In addition, Witkin
notes: “Wyoming has little restrictions on lobbying and lobbying reporting rules are so vague
they are of little use.”
The full report is available at
stateintegrity.org/wyoming
Wyoming lawmakers contacted by JH Weekly welcomed
the study though they have not
yet had time to fully digest the
conclusions. Local House Representative Ruth Ann Petroff says,
“I think this study is great because it gives us a way to look for
holes in our system that we may
not even be aware exist.” House
6 March 21 - 27, 2012
speaker Pro Tempore Keith Gingery agreed. “I find these reports
refreshing. We take them and try
to use them.”
Petroff thinks part of the problem is ironically caused by the
fact that corruption is not a big
problem in Wyoming. “A lot of
times laws are created because
something happened,” she said.
“In general, Wyoming has ethical
people working for the state. And,
so we have not had the scandals
that result in state laws to prevent
them from happening again.”
The logic of this theory is born
out by the significantly better
score attained by Illinois which is
“this study gives us a
way to look for
holes in our system.”
– Rep. Ruth Ann Petroff
ranked among the top states in
the nation despite being so famously corrupt that the last two
governors are currently in jail.
This view of Wyoming integrity is
shared by senator Leland Christensen who further adds: “One of
the differences between
Wyoming and other states is this
is a real citizen legislature. You
are away from the community for
a very short time. Then you are
back reporting to the citizens.
That keeps us grounded and allows the people who represent us
to keep an eye on what we are up
to. Also, I’ve noticed that the legislature does a good job unofficially of keeping track of
members to make sure there are
no conflicts.”
Global Integrity executive director Nathaniel Heller isn’t so
sure this is the best approach for
keeping a state government honest. “This is a view unique to
some Western states including
Wyoming and the Dakotas. I
think this is an important and
fascinating issue. Only citizens of
Wyoming know how accurate
that is. If the voters think trust
and a handshake is enough,
great. Based on our experience
ultimately that will not be
enough. If you know how the system was corrupted in other
states, over time, someone will
probably do it there. A culture of
trust may not be enough.” Heller
recommends Wyoming start with
a few glaring areas: “There is
some low hanging fruit like lobbying, pension regulation, and
campaign finance reform.”
Gingery agrees that these are
areas to be worked on. He notes
of lobbyists, “Over the years
there has been talk of lobbyist
reform. There used to be only a
few lobbyists and now every entity in the world seems to have a
lobbyist. Many legislators when
they leave office now they become lobbyists.”
Gingery also admits surprise at
that financial disclosure rules for
elected representatives in
Wyoming. They are, by all accounts, woefully inadequate.
Gingery says, “It amazes me that
they don’t want to see more of
our finances. Not so much in
Jackson, but elsewhere in the
state, a lot of legislators own
businesses that are impacted by
laws they pass. The disclosure I
file is two pages and they are not
asking for a lot detail. I think the
public should know if I own a
company that is going to be impacted by a law I am passing.”
Petroff shares Gingery’s view of
the disclosure rules. “I was surprised at the limited amount of
information I had to disclose
when I was elected,” she said. “I
am not opposed to doing something about that. I know the argument is that this will keep people
from running for office. But you
are choosing to run and you
should disclose where your interests lie.”
In the end, all agree that the
report offers the opportunity for
Wyoming to consider the situation before a problem is found.
Petroff concludes, “A study like
this is wonderful for helping us
address things going forward
that we did not know about.”
Gingery adds: “Maybe we should
pass the laws before we have a
scandal.”
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service granted an unprecedented “take” permit to the Northern Arapaho
tribe last week, letting them kill two bald eagles. Tribal
members say the eagles will allow them to pursue their religious freedoms by observing centuries-old ceremonial practices.
Some conservationists and animal rights activists wonder why the
tribe can’t use donated feathers and carcasses made available through
a federal repository where dead eagles are collected from power line
accidents and bird rehabilitation centers around the country.
Native Americans are supported by more federal government programs than any other ethnic group yet remain the poorest in America.
They are a sovereign nation operating under their own federal agency
– the Bureau of Indian Affairs – yet they receive more government
handouts than any other group in the world.
They have their own healthcare system – Indian Health Services –
through which all medical expenses are paid for by the taxpayer, and
they are eligible for Medicare and Medicaid on top of that. A huge
amount of federal money is spent on providing housing on reservations, food stamps, and educational scholarships and grants. Treaty
violation disbursement funds are paid on the first of the month to
members of the Northern Arapaho tribe. In all, 561 federally recognized indian tribes receive some sort of support from the federal
government.
In addition, many tribes, including the Northern Arapaho, are allowed licensed gambling in the form of mega-resort casinos. They pay
no federal taxes on these earnings. Recently, the United States government settled a long-running lawsuit over mineral royalty rights,
shelling out $3.4 billion to various Native American tribes.
Sure, European whites were sonsabitches. When they got to America
they took everything and in return gave the natives smallpox hidden in
Hudson’s Bay Point blankets. Palefaces killed all the buffalo and nearly
wiped out the bald eagle, even after declaring it the national symbol in
1782. But how long should the guilt last? Some of our WASPy ancestors
weren’t too cool to Africans or African-Americans either but at some
point it has to be put behind us.
Leaning on the religious freedom argument holds no water either.
In the name of cultural pursuit, elephants, rhinos, and tigers are
slaughtered to the brink of extinction. The Japanese kill dolphins and
de-fin sharks for questionable health benefits. Canadians bludgeon
seals by the tens of thousands. Asians eat elk antlers to get chubbies.
Where does it all end?
Get ‘er done, Village Road Coalition
Hoorah for Teton Village Road residents who are taking
matters into their own hands. After five moose were massacred on Highway 390, neighbors had finally had
enough. They formed a coalition and started hounding
public officials in charge of the Comp Plan, asking that
proposed residential buildup in the West Bank be rethought.
“Traffic is bad enough now,” they said.
When talks with WYDOT about reducing speed limits on TV Road
hit red tape drag, Uta Olson came forward and bought two variable
message signs for the county with the stipulation that they be used on
the Village road to warn motorists to wake the hell up and slow down.
Now, Jim Farmer has pitched in. He spent two days of his own time
manufacturing silhouette cutouts of moose – six in all – and has installed them along the road. They definitely causes motorists to double-take and get used to scanning the roadside. Bumper stickers are
also available for free at Jackson Whole Grocer that urge motorists to
please slow down to 30 or 35 mph.
Now if the Sheriff’s Department would only get in on the act and
start writing tickets for speeders. They could have a field day in there
and make the county some money. It wouldn’t be a sneaky speed trap
kind of thing like a deep South motorcycle cop behind a billboard
since everyone should know by now the importance of slowing down
on 390. (And please, Atlantans, do your best to resist the urge to write
in and complain about prejudice. Hell, Atlanta ain’t even the South
anymore. You’ve got an airport, shoe stores, and a politically-incorrect
baseball team. Besides, I think we can all agree when we are talking
the South in a cousin-kissin,’ bark-eatin,’ Confederate flag-wavin’
kind-of-KKK-way, we mean Alabama.)
Speech & Debate takes State
The Speech and Debate team is wicked smart, yo. In
the words of DJ Khaled: All they do is win. The club won
3A State Championships, capping an undefeated season
and has now qualified for national competition.
The congressional debate team smoked the field. Senior Hunter
Collins was crowned champ. Randy Elledge and team captain Jessica
Moore were right behind him, second and third, respectively. Senior
Tara Holmes rocked the interpretative discipline with a second place
finish in poetry, using The Porcupine and The Anteater by Roald Dahl.
Public forum debaters Natalie Palmquist and Jake Ethington placed
second at the meet, with sophomores Bryan Checker and Billy Frank
nailing down third. Sophomores Asa Moore and Cormac Mullin placed
second in cross examination debate and Elledge scored second in Lincoln Douglas debate.
Hill Climb hysteria
Expect a few changes in this year’s World Championship Hill Climb on Snow King. The testosterone-fueled, sledneck event draws thousands
every year to watch the ultimate in high-marking
carnage, as more than 300 participants will battle
this weekend to be “King of the Hill.”
The event traces its roots back to the 1960s when
the Budges, Burnsides and Mannings asked Snow
King Resort owner Manuel Lopez if they could try
and summit on the last day of ski operations. Now,
the event is sponsored by the Jackson Hole Snow
Devils, who have raised $444,402 since 2001 for a
variety of charitable causes.
Heidi Tobin, president of the Snow Devils,
spends every March with an enormous spreadsheet, marshalling out the schedule for the fourday event which begins Thursday with the amateur
division. She said this year’s event will be a little bit
different in a few ways.
“First off, we will have numerous food vendors
lined up along the back fence of the ball field,”
Tobin said. “Dominos will be there. Also Rendezvous Bistro, Q Roadhouse, the Elks Club serving
up their Philly cheese steak, Rockin’ Dogs and Ice
Cream catering from Idaho.”
Beer will be in plentiful supply, of course. And remember to tip. All beer tip proceeds go toward
Relay for Life. The Snow Devils will also be donating money from the event to Teton County Youth
and Family Services, Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center, Wyoming State Snowmobiling Association and
numerous high school scholarships.
The Snow Devils will also raffle off a sweet 2012
Polaris 800RMK as a grand prize. Second prize is an
EZ Ryde suspension, and third prize is $500 in gift
cards. Raffle tickets are $5 each, five for $20. All raf-

Devils about $20,000. That fee has been covered
this year with $25k awarded from the Travel and
Tourism board.
Lower snow conditions will make this year’s
event a bit tougher for riders, a marked change
from last year’s event. Also, Hill Climb weekend is a
bit early this year. Snow King’s lease on Forest Service property ends at the end of the month, so the
annual event, which takes place on the last full
weekend in March, must conclude before April 1.
Tobin said she hasn’t noticed any changes this
year in organizing the event despite the fact that
Lopez currently has the resort property up for sale.
But that all could change next year, Tobin worried.
“Everything has gone really smoothly with
Manuel and [his people],” Tobin said. “I hope it’s
that way next year. This event is such a huge shot in
the arm for this town. I hope it is not our last Hill
Climb. I’m scared.”

HOWLING FOR JUSTICE
Who’s afraid of the
BIG BAD WOLF?
Quit bitching and learn to live with the cunning canine.
BY JAKE NICHOLS
Something about the wolf threatens us.
The rancher holds disdain for the depredation. His is an unending war with an
ancient antagonist presumed eradicated nearly a century ago. Perhaps the hunter
envies the wolf’s killing skillset. For a human, a weekend in the mountains requires
permits, expensive gear and hi-tech weaponry to take down an elk. The wolf takes
what it wants when it wants.
Psychologists would say the wolf represents the id – the blind obeyance of the
most base of urges. The wolf sees no right and no wrong in its actions. It lives by instinct, fulfilling its basest desires according to the pleasure principle. The wolf
credo is, “If you can’t eat it or fuck it, piss on it.”
Deep down, mankind recognizes itself in the wolf: a tamed-down, ego-driven
version of a wild animal at the top of the food chain. Our lives were also once consumed with chasing red meat. Running after tapirs and mammoths made early
man feel truly alive. Today we put on pants and become clerks and assistant managers. Hunger pangs are eliminated with microwaves and John Deere. Man hears
the howl of the wolf as another jeering reminder that he now bleats with the sheep.
It could be a jealousy issue. The wolf is a competing predator. On its best behavior, it removes wild ungulates from the population and makes the remainder
harder to hunt. At its most destructive, it devours meals intended for human consumption and destroys backyard pets. It’s the perfect killing machine. And there
can be only one top dog.
From den to death – a dog eat dog world
A big bad wolf is born deaf and blind, and weighs no more than a box of Frosted
Flakes. Statistics say the pup will have two or three littermates. It will likely be born
in late April, after just 63 days of gestation. Within a month, wolf pups are aware
and eager to explore their den site. By July, they are fully weaned and crave only
meat. At six or seven months of age, pups are 80 percent their full size and have a
complete set of adult teeth. They are ready to travel great distances with the pack.
Their first winter is trial by fire. Many wolves never survive to their first birthday.
Wolves are highly social animals. They travel in packs of 2 to 15 members. The
average-sized pack in Wyoming in 2011 was 6.1, according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service. Estimates peg the total number of wolves in Wyoming at any given time to
be about 230 to 328, comprised of 38 to 48 distinct packs.
The alpha male runs the show. He decides who eats and who doesn’t. He does all
the mating in the pack. If a subordinate male wants to have sex, he must leave the
pack or keep it on the down-lo. Alphas fight and sometimes kill other wolves in
keeping the peace and defending their territory. An alpha male typically kills one to
three wolves in its lifetime.
The life of a wolf is arduous and short. Of the wolves that survive their first six to
nine months, most are dead by three or four years of age. Alpha wolves tend to live
the longest, commonly from six to nine years. Most wolves die soon after leaving
their pack. Though life in the pack means safety and food, most males opt to disperse in order to reproduce. Maybe one or two wolves in 10 rise to the level of
alpha. Most die without ever reproducing, and few live long enough to grow old.
Myth, legend, mystique – “Homo homini lupus”
The wolf issue is so polarizing that the mere mention of the species sends blood
curdling or boiling. No other animal is so demonized in popular culture. From Perrault’s Little Red Riding Hood to Aesop’s The Dog and the Wolf, Canis lupus gets
worse than a bad rap.
“Wolves are in a class of hatred all by themselves,” admitted Doug Smith, project
leader for the Yellowstone Gray Wolf Restoration Project. “The grizzly kills a lot
more people than wolves. It’s really rare when a wolf even bites somebody.”
In fact, there are three documented cases of wolf attacks on humans in North
America with no proved fatalities. The fate of Canadian geological engineering stuSee BIG BAD WOLF page 10

From BIG BAD WOLF page 9
Is it a small wolf or a really big coyote? Telltale signs include overall size, of course. Wolves are much bigger than
coyotes. Look first at the tail. Wolves carry theirs straight
out and level with their body. Coyotes’ tails are always at a
downward angle. The head is also a good indicator. A coyote head is small in comparison to its body. A wolf’s head is
massive and heavy in proportion. Also, like a grizzly bear
compared to a black bear, the wolf’s ears are much more
rounded and closer cropped to the head than the coyote’s.
A wolf’s gait at the walk is heavy and deliberate compared to that of a coyote, which seems to have a springier
step. At the lope, a wolf has a clunky, bounding gait. The
coat color is also a great indicator. Coyotes are usually a
dull or grizzled grey. The grey wolf is also typically grey, but
a black coat is a popular variation appearing in about 15
percent of GYA wolves.
Paw prints of the wolf are similar to that of the coyote but
twice as large. The middle toes of the wolf are more closely
spaced than that of the coyote. One way to tell a large domestic dog’s tracks from that of a wolf is to look for the
placement of the hind feet. Wolves step completely into
their front paw print with their hind feet. While most domestic dogs’ back foot over-strides and is slightly inside the
front print.
Another dead giveaway is the track. Domestic dogs
zigzag, following their nose. Wolves walk a straight line. For
an animal that walks as much as the wolf – up to 40 miles a
day and 4,000 miles in a year – they deviate very little from
their course.
Wolves complete a circuit of their territory about every
two weeks, almost always in a counter-clockwise pattern.
Scientists don’t know why. They hunt primarily into the
wind for obvious reasons. With 280 million olfactory receptors in their nasal passages, wolves can detect scents from
two miles away. They also have keen eyesight.
No matter the weather, the wolf does not seek shelter.
They prefer to ride out blizzards by burrowing into the
snow and covering their nose with their tail, much the same
way sled dogs learn to sleep outside.
dent Kenton Carnegie, killed in 2005, is still
hotly debated.
Grizzly bears kill and injure far more humans
and are easily more lethal. But thanks to
Theodore Roosevelt, griz are personified as
teddy bears, a childhood companion, while
wolves represent a cunning slaughterer labeled
by Roosevelt himself as a “beast of waste and
desolation.”
Still, Western etiquette demands one is either
for or agin’ the fabled beast. The clash plays out
on Dodge Ram back bumpers. “Wolves – Government Sponsored Terrorists,” and “Smoke a
pack a day,” with a bull’s-eye over a wolf silhouette are a couple of beauties. Several website
braggarts claim they have purposely gut-shot
wolves with a .22 so the animal dies a slow,
painful death.
Franz Camenzind, a wildlife biologist specializing in wolves and coyotes, calls the character
assassination of wolves a simple matter of prejudice. “There is no rhyme or reason to it,” Camenzind said. “It is maybe a fear based on the
cunningness of the creature and its ability to
survive.”
Smith agreed. “They are generalists. They are
resilient,” he said. “They will kill everything they
can to survive.”
Revered and reviled, the wolf exemplifies society’s strained relationship with nature. Ranchers
have never attempted to coexist with the wolf.
It’s been all-out war from the start.
Early settlers poisoned, trapped, and blasted
the beast into extirpation. No method of exterminating the wolf was considered illegal or underhanded. Dens were dynamited, bait was
tainted with glass shards or strychnine, and federal bounty hunters were paid by the pelt to gun
down wolves. In 1905, the Montana legislature
LAVA LAKE RANCH
Wolf, coyote or husky?
Sheep enjoy the protection of fladry fencing.
Keeping the wolf from your door
Ever see those pennants hanging from a line? The triangular-shaped flags hung from a fence line are there to deter
wolves from crossing underneath. It’s called fladry and
many ranchers swear by it. There is some evidence fladry
works, although most wolves are quick to learn that the
flags are not life-threatening so change is always the key.
Non-lethal ammunition like cracker shells, beanbag
shells, paintballs and rubber bullets are also fairly effective
in keeping wolves from livestock and off private property.
Sheepherders have found great success with guard dogs
bred for protection. The Great Pyrenees, Akbash, Anatolian,
and Komondor are the most popular breeds. The
Karakachan dog of Bulgaria has been known to chase a wolf
away from the flock for nearly a mile and a half. It has been
reported that after such encounters, wolves leave that flock
alone and turn their attention elsewhere.

went so far as to pass laws permitting the practice of biological warfare on wolves. The state’s
plan was to capture wolves, infect them with
mange, and release them back into the wild
where they would spread the highly contagious
disease and wipe themselves out.
By 1935 or so, wolves in the Rocky Mountains
were gone, save for some isolated pockets in
northern Idaho. Some old-timers, like outfitter
Gap Pucci, claim they still saw timber wolves on
rare occasions through the 1960s and 70s. They
were smaller and more leery of humans, according to Tom Kemery, a lifelong trapper and
hunter in Idaho. He also participated in wildlife
studies for Idaho Fish and Game.
Kemery maintains that Idaho had native
wolves in existence when the 66 Canadian greys
were reintroduced in Yellowstone in 1995. Those
indigenous males ranged from 85 to 105
pounds, less than the greys which were selected
for size and can get up to 140 pounds or more.
The reintroduced wolves, Kemery says, travel in
much larger packs and show little fear of humans or man-made structures or roads.
Are wolves fitting in?
The debate over whether the imported wolves
are native to the Rockies seems moot. They’re
here and, according to nearly every wildlife biologist and wolf expert, they are pretty much the
same devil dog hated by Westerners a century
ago. Their size will be dictated by availability of
habitat and game. Wolves naturally adjust their
litter counts and overall body size quite rapidly
in accordance with external forces. It is hoped,
by Smith and other wolf managers, that hunting
will restore the wolf’s fear of humans and keep
the animal away from subdivisions and ranches.
Smith was there in 1995 when the first wolves
from Alberta, Canada left their cages in Yellowstone and, much to everyone’s amazement,
took to the country like they’d never been gone.
He watched proudly as those first few wolves
seeded a movement. “It’s been a success beyond
anybody’s wildest dream,” Smith declared.
About the same time wolves were released in
Yellowstone, three dozen others were also
loosed in Idaho’s Frank Church Wilderness.
They were so gung-ho to get free, several scaled
a 10-foot-high chain-link enclosure around
their acclimation pen, and then dug a tunnel
under the fence to let out their companions.
They were 40 miles into the Idaho wilderness in
less than a week.
Wolves’ impact on the elk population was immediate. Until an awareness of an age-old nemesis was rekindled, wapiti got whacked. By 2005,
wolves were killing 3,000 a year in Yellowstone
alone. Outfitters are still screaming bloody murder about the predation, saying the moose and
elk population is being decimated by the new
predator. But the numbers indicate otherwise.
According to the Endangered Species Coalition, total elk population in the Northern Rockies has in fact risen since wolves were restored –
from 312,000 to 371,000. While certain areas in
and around Jackson Hole like the Gros Ventre
Wilderness have been hard hit, elk numbers
overall, remain healthy.
According to USFWS, kills made by Wyoming
wolves in 2011 included 267 elk (78 percent), 15
bison (4 percent), 18 deer (5 percent), 14 coyotes
(4 percent), 7 wolves (2 percent), 13 unknown
prey (4 percent) and 1 moose, 2 pronghorn, 2
bighorn sheep, 2 badger, 1 jackrabbit and 1
raven (all less than 1 percent). The composite
breakdown of elk kills was 27 percent calves, 3
percent yearlings, 44 percent cows, and 18 percent bulls.
Yellowstone Park officials have been extremely satisfied with the results. With wolves
back on the prowl, elk quickly got smarter. They
spent less time overgrazing and damaging
stream banks, allowing willows and aspen
groves to flourish again. This in turn spurred the
beaver population to an eightfold increase.
Beaver depend on those trees to build their
lodges. With more beaver ponds came increased
habitat for insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles,
birds and mammals, even moose. The additional trees also created more shaded sections of
water, cooling the temperatures and increasing
the native trout population.
Livestock depredation continues to be a problem. USFWS officials take a ‘no tolerance’ approach. Wolves that make it a habit to hang
around ranches or livestock are killed. The State
of Wyoming paid $123,703 to compensate cattle
producers and wool growers who lost livestock
to wolves in 2011. There is some evidence these
and other losses have been grossly overestimated, however.
From 2010 to 2011, 2,561 Idaho cattle were reported to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service as lost to wolf attacks. When Fish
and Wildlife investigated, it found that only 75 of
the attacks could be verified. According to the
USDA, sheep killed by wolves in 2010 to 2011
came to 900, but Fish and Wildlife investigators
could only verify 148.
A killing machine
Another argument often used against wolves
is an objection to their killing methods. A wolf
attack is not pretty to watch. Wolves typically attack the nose and hamstring area of an elk,
moose or bison, slashing the tendons and laming their prey. For larger game they often work
in unison, turning the ungulate back into the
waiting pack or into deep snow. Feeding often
begins before the prey is even dead.
“If you don’t like wolves their method of
killing can seem cruel, mean, and horribly vicious,” said Mike Jimenez, USFWS Wyoming
wolf recovery project leader.
Wolves are always cautious when attacking.
They have an innate ability to detect weakness,
illness, and other signs that make one elk preferable over another. Wolves always take the easy
way out. Contrary to popular belief that wolves
run down their prey with superior stamina,
studies show a wolf will usually break off a fruitless chase after 1,000 yards.
Wolves always test prey. Wolves attack only
about one out of every 10 moose that they chase
down. Typically, if a moose or elk runs then
stands its ground to fight, it is left alone. If a
moose or elk chooses to stand its ground first,
it’s an indication the animal is old or weak and
ripe for the taking. When wolves do attack, their
success rate is about 90 percent.
The alpha eats first, usually taking the
choice rump sections. Internal organs are next.
Wolves usually gorge themselves on a kill, especially if they haven’t eaten in a while. A wolf
requires about four pounds of meat per day
though their eating habits are more feast-andfamine in nature. Wolves can, and often do, go
two weeks or more between meals. If they are
famished, wolves can consume 22 pounds of
food in one sitting.
An attack saps the wolf’s strength. They often
remain with a carcass for days, resting and consuming it. A wolf will burn calories at a rate of
up to 20 times their resting levels when chasing
and attack a moose or elk. By comparison, a
world-class athlete is capable of increasing their
caloric burn at no more than five times that of
resting levels.
Allegations that wolves kill for sport are numerous, though rarely observed definitively.
Wolves are sometimes driven from carcasses by
other wolves, or they may leave a kill with the
intention of returning. If prey is abundant, however, wolves do feed on the choicest parts of
their prey and leave.
“The greatest impact of the introduction of an
exotic wolf is not what it kills to survive but the
impact of its ‘sport reflex killing,’” Kemery said.
“The Canadian grey wolf has a capacity to take
down large numbers of ungulates.”
Surplus killing is mostly observed when
wolves meet sheep, Camenzind admits. Something snaps in the wolf and lots of sheep die. In
the wild, though, wolves rarely kill what they
don’t need.
Managing the monster
Wolves are no longer federally protected. They
were removed from the endangered species list
in May 2011. Idaho and Montana instituted wolf
hunts in the fall of 2011. Wyoming still awaits
permission from Washington to manage the
wolf population in its state. That word is expected to come later this year. State legislators
drafted a wolf management bill at the recent
budget session.
The bill designates certain areas of Wyoming
where the wolf would be classified as trophy
game and other zones where the wolf could be
shot on sight. The intent is to both manage the
population and curb the wolf’s appetite for destruction on livestock.

Pink Garter Theater hosts one of the industry’s most buzzed: Blitzen Trapper.
Southern rock and California dreamin’
By Aaron Davis
Scouring music blogs and browsing a
band’s discography with a focused set of ears
is a blessing in disguise when you discover a
new artist that should have been in your personnel rotation for years. This is how I felt
after digging deep into the range of elements
that makes Blitzen Trapper one of the most
hyped bands in the last few years.
My previous impression of the Portland,
Ore. quintet was that of a rollicking, experimental, moody, emo/prog-rock band. That
wasn’t entirely squashed once I gathered the
broader picture, but its latest Sub-Pop release, American Goldwing, clued me in on
this band’s eclectic range to include folk,
country and Southern rock. A blitzkrieg, if
you will, of acoustic and electric rock escapades through a decade-long career, the
new album takes a classic direction towards
other West Coasters like The Flying Burrito
Brothers and The Grateful Dead, but also The
Allman Brothers and Cat Stevens. It seems
conservative, even traditional, when compared to earlier albums like Furr, which
ranked No. 13 on Rolling Stone’s Best Albums
of the 2008, and Destroyer of the Void (2010).
“I don’t know, it’s all rock music,” said
frontman/singer-songwriter Eric Earley. “All
good songwriting is personal, but I wanted
this record to be fun to play live. The live
14
March 21 - 27, 2012 l www.JHweekly.com
show is the most important thing right now
and we’ve focused on that more. It’s tighter.
That’s the part that is enjoyable for me, and
that’s how we make money.”
Perhaps due in part to multiple dropped
calls, background noise on his end, and the
long haul to Austin for South by Southwest
(SXSW), Earley seemed distracted, even a little indecisive, during our phone conversa-
“The live show is the most
important thing right now and
we’ve focused on that more.”
– Eric Earley
tion. His introspective writing, though,
comes off as focused and deliberate as any
ambitious band out there right now. The
schizophrenic nature that breathes hard rock
to delicate acoustic to Americana-on-mushrooms is part of Blitzen Trapper’s appeal.
And while scores of fans will be awaiting the
band’s arrival to Austin, they might not understand the full gamut of what the mammoth event demands from the artist’s point
of view.
“It’s a grind,” said Earley of SXSW. “It’s not
super enjoyable for bands. It’s more of industry kind of deal. Its weird, it supplies the
music critic industry—or whatever you want
to call it—material for the whole next year;
it’s kind of like a rock ‘n’ roll trade show. I
enjoy it though, to an extent.”
Earley grew up in small town Salem, Ore.
In his early 20s, he dropped out of school
and began writing and recording tunes with
his roommates. He was even homeless for a
stint and recorded Wild Mountain Nation
(considered Blitzen Trapper’s breakout 2007
album and recognized in Pitchfork’s Best
New Music) in an old telegraph building, a
place where “old crack whores and dealers
nodded off in the alcoves and alleys around
the street,” as Earley put it.
If you’re ready for heavy-riffing, fuzzedout slide guitars with blasting drum fills sideby-side with a plucking banjo, strummed
acoustic guitar, and soaring harmonies,
there’s a little bit of Trapper for everyone.
Tartufi—a San Francisco-based pop-rock
looping duo featuring a drum and bass foundation, laced with keys and ambient vocals—
will open the show.
Blitzen Trapper, 10 p.m., Sunday, at the Pink
Garter Theatre. Tartufi opens the show. Tickets
$20 advance or $22 day-of-show at
PinkGarterTheatre.com or at the door.

Since forming in 2003 and
then opening the First Annual
Targhee Fest in 2005, Teton Valley rock-fusion trio Johnny
Wailin’ has been largely inactive
until last year. But the threeheaded, fire-breathing monster
has revived a sound that’s reminiscent of Primus-meets-Floyd
sandwich. New member, bassist
Josh Jablow, has joined drummer
David Bundy and guitarist /vocalist Bradley Dean, bringing a
harder edge to the brand of
rock that these mountains are
used to from local players.
Johnny Wailin’ plays 3 p.m.,

There’s a new creature walking the streets of Jackson,
and its called Slide/Path. Fronted by producer-keyboardistvocalist Pete Muldoon, a.k.a. DJ Guerilla MD, this live electronica project stages some familiar characters—guitarist
Jeff Eidemiller (Tram Jam), trombonist John Kidwell (Jackson
6), percussionist Abbot Frank, Jr. (Lunker), and John Wayne
Harris (Elk Attack). Spreading the gospel of house, electropop, funk, hip-hop, and dubstep, Slide/Path promises “a
non-stop, three-hour dance party…and the light show
alone would be worth paying a ticket for,” according to
Muldoon.
Open Mic Night will run 8 to 10 p.m. prior to the show
(free). Musicians, poets, DJs, thespians, and comedians are
all welcome to sign-up for a slot.

Port of Morrow
Meltdown
American Goldwing
THE SHINS
MIND SPIDERS
BLITZEN TRAPPER
After five years off, The Shins return as a
James Mercer project (not that Port of Morrow sounds like a solo disc). Mercer plays
well with others and has recruited top musicians for this effort. Of these, two contributions especially felt are drummer Janet Weiss
and multi-instrumentalist and producer
Greg Kurstin. But despite the rhythmic drive
and the radio-friendly lush production, Mercer’s songs are always at the center. The professionalism and quality consistently
displayed on Port of Morrow rate a few surprising comparisons. “Fall of ’82,” for example, has the slick urban love, darkness and
aesthetic of a vintage Steely Dan track.
The abandonment of lo-fi and indie rock
has surprisingly resulted in a more liberated
and free flowing recording for Mercer.
Tracks like “Bait and Switch,” “Simple
Song,” and “The Rifle’s Spiral” are among
the best songs ever released as The Shins.
Port of Morrow is sure to be among the top
critics’ picks of 2012. Yet, for all of its pleasures, it will be interesting if Port of Morrow
can find The Shins an audience beyond the
loyal base who will be deeply satisfied by
this comeback effort. – Richard Abowitz
Since there’s no punk scene in Jackson I
kind of forget that punk ever existed. I fondly
remember my days at punk dive bars. The beer
and vomit covered floors, skinheads with red
suspenders, and sweaty girls with safety pins
through their noses are a distant yet pleasant
memory. Whatever you do, don’t touch that
used syringe in the bathroom. Mind Spiders
kind of reminds me of punk bands like
Screeching Weasel or the Ramones without
being so repetitive. There’s also a similarity to
Jay Retard or White Zombie.
Meltdown isn’t a straight up take on punk
but includes elements of garage, lo-fi, and horror movies. I don’t think there is any direct
connection between Mind Spiders and Ziggy
Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. The
band’s name is apparently based on a 60s sci-fi
collection and the role of the spider in classic
horror films. Yet, Bowie’s presence is back
there in the mix. Mind Spiders have two drummers in the tradition of fellow Texas punk band
Butthole Surfers. Overall Meltdown is crunchy
fast punk with a cinematic quality. But if you
never shaved your head and pretty much listen
to funk and dubstep these days, then Mind
Spiders are not for you. – Aaron Wallis
While this set is a diversion from what
Blitzen Trapper fans are used to (guess they’ve
always been appreciated for inconsistency), it
will attract an even wider fanbase. It’s not
groundbreaking fresh as some of singer-songwriter/frontman Eric Earley’s earlier material,
but the vocal melodies are damn catchy, and
arrangements stay closer to the tried and true.
A bit of massive, fuzzed-out hooks a la Jack
White and Jimmy Page (“Street Fighting Sun”)
are dispersed by feel-good melodies (“My
Hometown”) that are built for sunny spring
days with the windows down, even when the
self-pity and somber characters show up. Seventies Southern rock (“Fletcher”) and country-folk shuffles (“Taking it Easy Too Long”)
are the footholds, trading fill-every-singlespace clutter for deeper, kick-drum driven
beats that beckon at least a subtle head-bob.
Earley backtracks to subjects and stories
from his childhood with production that is
straightforward and crisp, and the closest
that the band has ever been to classic Americana. At its best, American Goldwing is very
much a singer-songwriter album with
clever and crafty instrumentation of varying tones. – Aaron Davis

By Aaron Wallis
The people have spoken and
chosen Jackson’s best artists and
galleries in JH Weekly’s Best Of
Jackson Hole 2012. When the
people speak it’s usually completely irrelevant, like in presidential elections or the local TV
news. As the JH Weekly art critic,
it’s only appropriate to offer my
own elitist critique of the populist choices for Best Of.
Best Emerging Artist, a.k.a.
Best Broke Artist
Kelly Halpin definitely deserves the gold in this category.
Halpin is an excellent
draftswoman and a quirky sense
of humor pervades her work. As
for the silver and bronze winners, Erin Smith and Liz Park, respectively, both are popular and
have lots of friends and so this
really is a popularity contest for
them. I would have chosen Mike
Tierney or Mark Dunstan for the
silver and bronze because their
work is clearly superior. And at
the risk of self-flagellation perhaps I should have made the list?
But I don’t need your approval to
validate myself as an artist. My
entire identity is built on adopting an outsider persona. So take
your medals and shove it, I’ll be
crying alone in my room till
summer if anyone needs me.
Best Contemporary Art
Gallery
This was a total no brainer and
I would have been shocked had
anyone other than Tayloe Piggott
won. Diehl and Altamira receiving the silver and bronze, respectively, is kind of like medaling in
gymnastics because everyone
else fell off the pummel horse.
The art at Heather James is easily
worth more than all the other
galleries put together, and its tie
for bronze draws parallels with
the 2004 USA Men’s Basketball
team. But I don’t think it’s
Heather James’ fault many locals
don’t know a moose from a
Monet from a Manet.
Best Western Art Gallery
Really I could care less who
won this category. Judging from
how expensive and large the
kitsch bronzes are outside Trailside Gallery, I have to say the
voters were right and Trailside
deserved to win.
Best Established Artist:
It would be petty to hate on
these three artists because they
are successful. If you wanna be
successful in Jackson you have
to make animal art. People love
animals and feel empathy for
these creatures way beyond
their ability to sympathize for
say, murdered Syrians. So congratulations to Ringholz, Roth,
and Turner. I agree with your 12-3 placement. Just remember if
any of you stop making animal
art by the time next year’s list
comes out you might be living in
your car.

By Claire Rabun
There’s a first time for everything right? Well, last Friday I
experienced my first cheers
with toddlers. And as the two
juice-covered birthday boys
continued clinking sippy cups
at the end of the table, the
group of friends gathered
around Chef Tim Cabradilla’s
cozy dining room table began
discussing their common
thread—food.
Cabradilla is the head chef
at Koshu Wine Bar, but he has
certainly been around the
block of the Jackson culinary
scene, and his friends seem to
revel in getting his well-seasoned opinion on anything
and everything having to do
with his craft.
“Cooking for someone is
about more than just putting
food on the table,” said
Cabradilla over the sweet
murmur of his son Nicasio
and friend Henry babbling
along to Finding Nemo and
playing with their “Happy
Birthday” balloons in the next
room. “In fact, that’s the reason I’m a chef.”
“When I was 10 or 11 my
mom made us salmon stew,”
he remembered. “I don’t like
fish, so when she sat it in front
of me, I said ‘yuck,’ which
made her go to her room and
cry. It just made me realize
that feeding me was a way that
she told me she loved me, and
I had put that down.”
This approach to the culinary arts is perhaps what has
led Cabradilla to a long journey of finding his place.
Driven by an undeniable passion for food and wine, he has
studied and worked his way to
the top, making stops along
the way at the California Culinary Academy, a scholarship
stage at Alice Water’s worldrenowned Chez Panisse, numerous cheffing posts at
restaurants around Jackson, a
sommelier certification, and
even his own catering business, 307 Catering, to learn as
much as possible about the
world of food.
Cabradilla now brings this
vast experience and knowledge base to Koshu, where he’s
been running the kitchen
since December.
“Coming into a new restaurant, you sort of inherit the
cooks that were there,” he
said, as we flipped through
one of the culinary books from
his enormous collection that is
stuffed into overflowing bookcases all over the house. “And
my approach is to take advantage of what these cooks are
good at.”
Just like his mother expressed her love through home
cooking, and now Cabradilla
finds his passion in a restaurant kitchen, the head chef
wants to give his staff those
same opportunities.
“What I mean is that if
there’s a cook who is passionate about a dish or that knows
how to cook something really
well, I’m not going to be
touching it,” he explained, as
he presented yet another dusty
bottle of knowledgeably selected wine. “Ultimately, I’m
the guy in charge, but I want
my guys to have a sense of
ownership—everybody wins
that way.”
As the group falls silent once
the savory white beans with
beet greens and chicken
sausage are served with a tender, crispy, three-hourscooked pork shoulder, I am
able to ask Cabradilla the
question I’ve been interested
in all night: As a chef with such
a diverse set of skills and experiences, what would he choose
as his last meal?
Without missing a beat, as
he kisses his now sleepy son
on the head, Cabradilla gives
an answer that fully defines
who he is as a cook and as a
chef: “My uncle’s beef stew.
Growing up, you find that
there is someone instrumental
in your life that brings you to
food. That was my uncle. And
though it was delicious, it was
more about the fact that it
came from his heart.”
Koshu is open nightly from
5:30 p.m. The restaurant is located at 200 West Broadway.
733-5283.
BookReview
ILL FARES THE LAND
Tony Judt
Historian Tony Judt was best known as a regular contributor to New York
Review of Books and for his landmark study from 2005 of contemporary
European history, Postwar. Judt was a fascinating old school cosmopolitan
intellectual. Diagnosed in 2008, Judt died tragically of Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS) in 2010. In declining health, Ill Fares the Land is a manifesto
produced by someone with no time for triviality. Though written before
the Occupy Wall Street movement Judt anticipates the movement’s concern with economic inequality. In fact, Judt predicts the outbreak of social
unrest over inequality far more extreme than Occupy. Judt writes:
“It is the growing inequality in and between societies that generates so
many social pathologies. Grotesquely unequal societies are also unstable societies. They generate internal division, and, sooner or later, internal strife—usually with undemocratic outcomes.”
Judt’s view is clearly informed by his deep reading into the rise of left and right wing fascist states in
the last century. Judt in fact views the welfare state that arose after WWII (in part to tamp out motivation for joining extreme political movements) as among the best developments in governance. From
Judt’s perspective the collapse of Eastern European communism in 1989 was not a triumph of capitalism but a victory for the social democratic mix of economic freedom coupled with a government that
redistributed enough wealth to provide for certain basic needs of its citizens.
To Judt the last 30 years have been a disastrous assault on both the benefits derived for citizens from
the welfare state and the very philosophy that argued government has a role to play in providing for individual needs. Judt agrees that even the glory decades of the welfare state offered plenty of evidence
that the government cannot solve all problems. But he believes we have gone to another extreme by
viewing the state as destined to fail at any task.
Ultimately, Ill Fares the Land is a call to action. “We need to act upon our intuitions of impending catastrophe,” Judt writes. Judt explicitly rules out revolutionary change, which has been discredited by violence since the French Revolution. But rather Judt wants us to again share a common agenda that
requires all to have more of a stake in governance. Judt wants us to cease the economic and political arguments that have polarized democracies not just in the United States, but also in England and Europe.
Instead Judt demands we revisit what we want from a civil society. He suspects that question will lead
back to the benefits of the welfare state which while rhetorically billed as a moral hazard and inefficient, yet, Judt believes still offers the best possible life for the most possible citizens. – Richard Abowitz

FREEWILL ASTROLOGY
ROB BREZNEY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Not bad for a
few weeks’ work, or play, or whatever it is
you want to call this tormented, inspired outburst. Would it be too forward of me to suggest that you’ve gone a long way toward
outgrowing the dark fairy tale that had been
haunting your dreams for so long? And yet all
this may just be a warm-up for your next
metamorphosis, in which you make an audacious new commitment to becoming what you
really want to be when you grow up.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This week I’m
taking a break from my usual pep talks. I think
it’s for the best. If I deliver a kind-hearted kick
in the butt, maybe it will encourage you to
make a few course corrections, thereby making it unnecessary for fate to get all tricky and
funky on you. So here you go, Taurus: 1. The
last thing you need is someone to support
your flaws and encourage you in your delusions. True friends will offer snappy critiques
and crisp advice. 2. Figure out once and for all
why you keep doing a certain deed that’s beneath you, then gather the strength and get
the help you need to quit it. 3. It’s your duty to
stop doing your duty with such a somber demeanor and heavy tread. To keep from sabotaging the good it can accomplish, you’ve got
to put more pleasure into it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The German
word Weltratsel can be translated as “World
Riddle.” Coined by the philosopher Friedrich
Nietzsche, it refers to questions like “What is
the meaning of existence?” and “What is the nature of reality?” According to my reading of the
astrological omens, Gemini, you’re now primed
to deepen your understanding of the World
Riddle. For the next few weeks, you will have
an enhanced ability to pry loose useful secrets
about some big mysteries. Certain passages in
the Book of Life that have always seemed like
gobbledygook to you will suddenly make sense.
Here’s a bonus: Every time you decipher more
of the World Riddle, you will solve another
small piece of your Personal Riddle.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the
world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” So wrote
George Bernard Shaw in his book Man and Superman. From the hints I have gleaned, Cancerian, you are now in an ideal phase to be the
sort of unreasonable man or woman who gets
life to adapt so as to better serve you and your
dreams. Even if it’s true that the emphasis in
the past has often been on you bending and
shaping yourself to adjust to the circumstances
others have wrought, the coming weeks could
be different.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In his book Word
Hero, Jay Heinrichs offers us advice about how
to deliver pithy messages that really make an
impact. Here’s one tip that would be especially
useful for you in the coming days: Exaggerate
precisely. Heinrichs gives an example from the
work of the illustrious raconteur, American author Mark Twain. Twain did not write, “In a
single day, New England’s weather changes a
billion times.” Rather, he said, “In the spring I
have counted 136 different kinds of weather
inside of four-and twenty hours.” Be inspired
by Twain’s approach in every way you can
imagine, Leo. Make things bigger and wilder
and more expansive everywhere you go, but
do it with exactitude and rigor.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Liminality” is a
term that refers to the betwixt and between
state. It’s dawn or dusk, when neither night nor
day fully rules. It’s the mood that prevails when
a transition is imminent or a threshold beckons.
During a rite of passage, liminality is the phase
when the initiate has left his or her old way of
doing things but has not yet been fully accepted
or integrated into the new way. Mystical traditions from all over the world recognize this as a
shaky but potent situation — a time and place
when uncertainty and ambiguity reign even as
WEEK OF MARCH 21
exciting possibilities loom. In my estimate,
Virgo, you’re now ensconced in liminality.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Argentinian
writer Antonio Porchia said there were two
kinds of shadows: “some hide, others reveal.”
In recent weeks, you’ve been in constant contact with the shadows that hide. But beginning
any moment now, you’ll be wandering away
from those rather frustrating enigmas and entering into a dynamic relationship with more
evocative mysteries: the shadows that reveal.
Be alert for the shift so you won’t get caught
assuming that the new shadows are just like
the old ones.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Every winter,
hordes of ants have overrun my house. At least
that was true up until recently. This winter, the
pests stayed away, and that has been very good
news. I didn’t have to fight them off with poison
and hand-to-hand combat. The bad news? The
reason they didn’t invade was because very little rain fell, as it’s supposed to during Northern
California winters. The ants weren’t driven
above ground by the torrents that usually soak
the soil. And so now drought threatens our part
of the world. Water shortages may loom. I propose that this scenario is a metaphor for a
dilemma you may soon face, Scorpio — except
that you will have a choice in the matter: Would
you rather deal with a lack of a fundamental resource or else an influence that’s bothersome
but ultimately pretty harmless?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re
entering one of the most buoyant phases of
your astrological cycle. Your mandate is to be
brash and bouncy, frothy and irrepressible. To
prepare you, I’ve rounded up some exclamatory declarations by poet Michael McClure.
Take them with you as you embark on your
catalytic adventures. They’ll help you cultivate
the right mood. McClure: “Everything is natural. The light on your fingertips is starlight. Life
begins with coiling — molecules and nebulae.
Cruelty, selfishness, and vanity are boring.
Each self is many selves. Reason is beauty.
Light and darkness are arbitrary divisions.
Cleanliness is as undefinable and as natural as
filth. The physiological body is pure spirit. Monotony is madness. The frontier is both outside and inside. The universe is the messiah.
The senses are gods and goddesses. Where
the body is — there are all things.”
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You know
those tall, starched white hats that many chefs
wear? Traditionally they had 100 pleats, which
denoted the number of ways a real professional could cook an egg. I urge you to wear
one of those hats in the coming weeks, Capricorn — or whatever the equivalent symbol
might be for your specialty. It’s high time for
you to express your ingenuity in dealing with
what’s simple and familiar . . . to be inventive
and versatile as you show how much you can
accomplish using just the basics.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As I was
driving my car in San Francisco late one night, I
arrived at a traffic signal that confused me. The
green light was radiant and steady, but then so
was the red light. I came to a complete stop
and waited until finally, after about two minutes, the red faded. I suspect you may soon be
facing a similar jumble of mixed signals, Aquarius. If that happens, I suggest you do what I
did. Don’t keep moving forward; pause and sit
still until the message gets crisp and clear.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A woman
named Joan Ginther has won the Texas Lottery
four times, collecting over $20 million. Is she
freakishly lucky? Maybe not, according to
Nathaniel Rich’s article in the August 2011
issue of Harper’s. He notes that Ginther has a
PhD in math from Stanford, and wonders if
she has used her substantial understanding of
statistics to game the system. (More here:
tinyurl.com/LuckAmuck.) Be inspired by her
example, Pisces. You now have exceptional
power to increase your good fortune through
hard work and practical ingenuity.
