REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK
Jake Nichols
Town doesn’t need another park
The Town of Jackson does not
need another park. Sure, parks are
nice and useful and quiet. They are
sorely necessary in cities that are
growing so fast there is a clear and
present danger of losing touch
with nature. But Jackson has plenty
of parks – too many, in fact – that it
cannot afford to maintain.
The Forest Service property on
North Cache has been targeted for
decades by town officials as a desirable plot to add to their land
asset portfolio. While none of the
current town leaders has a definitive plan for the future use of the
ten acres, all have more or less
stated that they want it to remain
in public hands lest a private entity purchase and develop it commercially.
Mayor Mark Barron is the only
local elected that has the vision
and the fortitude to claim the land
will likely have to generate some
type of income for the town. It
can’t just sit there and continue to
be a trailer park/swamp. Barron
has hinted in the past that Jackson
has a profound need for a convention center.
Major expos and the like bring
big bucks to a community. The
town had better score a large convention center soon before all that
business goes to Teton Village. The
BTNF property might be suitable
for a convention center; the loca-
tion is perfect. But local government has no business being the
developer or the land pimp that
flips the property to a convention
center developer after asking taxpayers to buy them that land.
Town Council candidate Kelly
Egan is right. The land BTNF is offering for sale is not street frontage.
Protecting Jackson’s northern gateway is not at issue here. Egan is also
Parks and Recreation
does not have the
budget to keep up
with all the property
they manage.
correct in stating the price is too
high considering nearly a third of
the property is undevelopable wetlands. Buildable space is all commercial real estate moguls care
about when pricing land. So think of
it as $11.55 million for seven acres.
As far as the argument that the
town needs to buy the property to
protect it from an undesirable outcome like a Target or Walmart –
what in the name of sanity is that
about? Doesn’t the town decide
what can be developed there
through zoning, land development
regulations, planning hearings,
building permits, etc.? Of course
they do, but now we get to the
heart of the matter.
Town authorities – and their
county counterparts for that matter – are a bunch of pushovers for
any out-of-town slickster with a
persuasive sales pitch. Your Town
Council is too easily dazzled by
pretty baubles. They will sell their
souls and our future to Home
Depot or any other big box with an
exciting “smoke and mirrors” show
so long as it promises to reenergize
the local economy. They don’t trust
themselves. That’s why town officials want to own the property
rather than rule the property.
As far as leaving the BTNF property as open space or a park: why?
We already have Phil Baux Park,
Miller Park, Karns Meadow, May
Park, Mike Yokel Park, Powderhorn
Park, Town Square, Rangeview
Park, North Park, the high school
recreation area, and the Fair
Grounds. All this in a town that’s
less than three square miles in size.
Parks and Recreation does not
have the budget to keep up with all
the property they manage. A master plan for the eleven acres at the
May property has sat unused since
2004. The town can’t spare a dime
to turn the place from a ranch into
a city park. Karns Meadow – which
should not be developed in any
way whatsoever – is also awaiting
funds for typical park amenities.
A little quiz for you: Which country rates 37th in health care, 17th in
education, one of the worst infant mortality rates, number one in
prison population, only industrial country with capitol punishment,
over a trillion dollars waging a drug war since the 70’s, waging three illegal wars killing hundred of thousands of innocents humans, has the
largest military then all other countries combined.
When I was younger there was a bumper sticker “Better dead than
red”meaning better to die then allow Communists to take over America. Have you noticed that red states are the majority of states in the
union? There was another bumper sticker during the Vietnam war
“Our Country Right or Wrong” and “Love it or leave it.”
Do you remember when the Tea Party first raised its ugly head
there was a placard saying “Keep government out of my Medicare”?
We are dealing with an ignorant society that can’t handle having a black
president, blaming all the problems our country is facing on Obama
and not on Bush that inherited a surplus and waged two wars, a prescription drug bill all unpaid for leaving our country with trillions in
debt.
Cheney rationalizing torture and making sure we went to war with
Iraq so his company Hallobutin was rewarded the military contracts.
We can’t hide our heads in the sand and keep claiming America is an
exceptional nation without admitting our flaws and attempting to correct them.
Now we have conservatives attempting to pass personhood laws
claiming that a fertilized egg should be afforded all constitutional rights
as a person. Believe me when I tell you that if a woman should miscarry she will have to prove it was natural and not induced. Is this the
direction America is heading? Humans: get your butts out there and
vote and turn back all conservatives or you will regret it for years to
come.

On ‘Props and Disses’
■ Close the Moose-Wilson Road you say? Well, the biologist in me
loves the idea. I would like nothing more than the countless animals –
wolves, grizzly bears, and moose included – that utilize that habitat to
be able to roam freely. Imagine a world without the interference of
tourists and speeding locals in a rush to get to the Death Canyon trailhead so they can illegally walk their dogs to Phelps Lake. However, the
author of this article (who I have little doubt is a skier) has overlooked
one major fact: Your beloved mountain resort only stays in business
because of the massive amount of people who stay at the village in the
summer and visit Grand Teton NATIONAL Park. How do they get to
the park? Hmmm ... Don’t think they’re driving an hour down to Jackson and up the Highway to Moose Junction ... It’s about time people in
this community learned they don’t own the park. It is owned by every
American, including the tourists you so deeply despise; the very people
who pay those of our wages who work in the outdoor/recreation industries here. As much as you want to have a say in how the park is
managed, and as much as you expect to have priority parking every-

Stop and smell the Grand
It seems racing up and down the Grand Teton (13,770 feet), during any season as fast as humanly possible
is all the rage these days. I heard last week that the record from car-to-car (Lupine Meadows Parking lot), up
and down the Grand was smashed and crushed to a new two hours and 54 minutes. Amazing. I wonder how
many rocks fell down on other climbers while this was done.
I enjoy doing a one-day ascent/descent, but since I don’t like being nauseous, dizzy, hypoxic, and possibly
falling off the mountain while trying to go as fast as a jackrabbit, I am happy going up and down in under 12
hours. If I can do the 5000-foot vertical gain to the Lower Saddle in three to four hours I am super stoked.
Doing the Grand in a day is the best way; so that one does not need to carry all the overnight gear. The OwenSpalding route (III, 5.4), is the route of choice. Once you are past the Lower Saddle, and reach the Upper Saddle, the
technical portion starts. The Belly Roll, The Crawl and The Chimneys all lead to the upper slabs below the summit. If
belaying is your choice, there are about five sections of belaying before a series of short traverses on steep, exposed
slabs. Easy climbing on the west side, or moving around to the southeast side can gain the summit.
Descent is going carefully back down the Chimneys, and finding the rappel station above the upper saddle. An 80-foot
free-hanging rappel brings you back to the Upper Saddle, where you start your descent down the correct gully back to the
Lower Saddle, which eventually leads back down to the valley.
For GeaAnswer: helmet, harness, approach shoes, moderate rack, long slings, foul weather gear, cell phone, and two
60-meter ropes. If soloing for a speed record: none of the gear mentioned probably. For Beta: “A Climber’s Guide to The

where you go, you don’t. The Moose-Wilson Road is here to stay, and the proposed re-route will do a wonderful
job in reducing the amount of stress “locals” experience on one of their many trips into the park to abuse a precious resource that belongs to all of us.
■ As someone who has travelled the entirety of mw road at 60 mph, I would like nothing more than see it
closed to cars. It would make a wonderfull bike path, seeing the wildlife from the seat of a bike is a far better experience then flying by it in a car. A moose jam would be much more pleasant without the parking lot feel cars
give off. Better for wildlife, better for people. I hope the new path through the mw road is as far from the antinational park motorizers as possible.
On ‘Jackson Whole Grocer to move’
■ I love the Whole Grocer, but as someone who will need to turn left out of that spot to get home, I doubt I’ll
be going there from May to September. That turn is god-awful in the summer. I get the desire for more space,
but that’s going to be hugely inconvenient. Also, what are they going to do about parking? I may be wrong, but
there doesn’t seem to be that many spaces.
■ WG is my only grocery store, as was Foodtown before it. I haven’t been to Smith’s or Albertson’s except on
very rare occasions for years. I love how convenient WG is, the manageable size, and the healthy options to boot.
Riding there from my in-town location is easy. I fear that with the new location, the ride will be challenging to say
the least and the expansive new digs too large for my liking. I wish WG all the best of course, but there is convenience for me in the current location and charm and manageability to the current size.
On ‘Redneck’
He or she can curl their toes,
make a tight fist, and kick you,
though you probably
can’t feel it.”
■ Who is that weirdo? The party of Cheney, we see. If the best he can do is to attempt to discredit by telling
lies what has he really got to oppose? Honesty, good business, good politics or proper representation of the constituants? Hey! This tactic reminds me of the recent fruit and veggie war started by the incumbent monopoliser of
fruit sales by the Y. If someone threatens you, use deceit, be ugly. Maybe that fruit seller by the theater ought to
run against Ruth Ann, too. How does this mindless drivel pass for journalism? Does the Weakly think they are
building readership by portraying anyone who lives south of Rafter J as ignorant rednecks? These veiled implications that anyone with working class conservative beliefs must be a brainless moron is just weak far left journalism at its worst.
■ SiAnswer: You say mindless drivel as if it is a bad thing. As far as journalism is concerned, good honest unbiased reporting went out of fashion in the 80’s. Also defending a Republican candidate against untrue statements
regarding her votes against gun control is not left wing unless truth is exclusively left wing, which I doubt. As far
as ignorant rednecks south of Rafter J, I resemble that remark.

Who will deferred action help?
Undocumented children face decision to apply or not apply
By Richard Abowitz
Last week the most significant
change in the status of undocumented immigrants in years took
place. The Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was created via a
presidential executive order in
June. Now people who entered
the country without documents
as children under certain circumstances can qualify for a two-year
period where they will not have
to fear deportation. National
media reported that across the
country thousands lined-up. But
for many others the question of
whether to apply for the program
remains confusing. Even the
title’s “Deferred Action” seems to
imply that this could be the start
of an ending rather than a beginning. Are people who register
going to find deportation authorities at the door in two years?
Does a traffic ticket disqualify a
person from participating? The
program is also not cheap especially for young people with an
upfront application cost of $465.
The procedures on how to apply
are also a nightmare which can’t
be easy for any who have English
as second language. Imagine facing these instructions to fill out:
“Form I-821D, Consideration of
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals; Form I-765, Application for
Employment Authorization; and
Form I-765WS, Form I-765 Worksheet. When completing the
forms, applicants will want to
consult the detailed instructions
for both Forms I-821D and I-765.”
Thankfully to help locals who
have to make the important decision about applying the Latino
Resource Center will be holding a
forum on September 11. Call 307734-0333 for information.
JH Weekly reached one of the
many young people from Jackson
who currently is facing the decision of whether or not to apply
for deferment. We spoke to him
6 August 22 - 28, 2012
not just about the new policy but
also about his life in Jackson
being undocumented, his family,
and plans for the future. We
agreed not to use his name:
JH Weekly: How old are you?
Answer: 15
JHW: When did you come to
the United States?
Answer: I don’t know the exact
date but it was the summer before going to fourth grade.
JHW: What were your first
thoughts on the new program?
Answer: When I first heard
about this program I thought it
Are people
who register

authorities

in two years?
was a really good chance to take
an opportunity to make my life
better.
JHW: Do you worry about
being undocumented or being
deported?
Answer: Not really. I saw on the
news about people hiding in the
shadows not to be caught or be
deported back. But you have
nothing to fear if you are not
doing something wrong. I am just
here for a better life. I want to
study and maybe go to college.
Not just me, to help my family get
a better life too.
JHW: Do you feel like the
United States is your country?
Answer: No. I take pride in
what I am, where I come from. I
don’t ever say I am an American
or feel anything like that.
JHW: Would you want to be a
United States Citizen if that opportunity arose?
l www.JHweekly.com
Answer: I would because there
are better opportunities here, like
college opportunities that are
better than Mexico. In Mexico, it
is really expensive to go to college, and books are very expensive. I would love to stay here just
because it is better, and my family likes it here too. There is less
crime. I think my family would be
safe here. Over there with the
drug crimes and all that stuff the
government really does not have
that much control over things.
And, over here you see that kind
of stuff, because it is all over the
world, but you don’t see it as
much as you would in Mexico.
JHW: Will you be applying for
the new program and when?
Answer: I think I might apply
this year. I don’t do crimes. This
is a chance for me to get a better
life. I see kids my age with citizenship, born here, and everything going for them. And, they
throw their life after drugs and do
stuff like that. I don’t want to end
up one of them. That is why I
keep out of the streets. My mom
keeps me out of the streets. My
big priority here is my family;
they are everything I have. I don’t
do crimes. I don’t do drugs. I do
get in trouble at school but it is
not that big. I have gone to the
office, I am not going to say that.
I’ve been late to school. I know
you should be on time, but I have
some things to do before school.
JHW: How big is your family
here?
Answer: There are about nine,
mostly brothers and sisters.
JHW: Will any of them be ap-
plying for the deferment, too?
Answer: Some of them will
apply soon. Two of them were
born here.
JHW: Does your family worry
a lot about being separated by
deportation?
Answer: They do. They have
seen the crime that goes on in
Mexico. We come here for a betsee Deferred page 7
Teton County authorities lost their bite eons ago. Now
their bark doesn’t scare anyone.
Faced with doing something definitive about faux ranches
that make their mortgage payments with revenue from
weddings, parties, retreats and other major events, county
commissioners stopped short of cracking down. Way short.
So-called rural landowners are defined by the county as property
owners of 70 acres or more. The common definition of these
‘ranchettes’ is any spread that has more bathrooms than bedrooms, and
more fireplaces than cattle. These land barons have been playing venue
to weddings and such, pissing off the neighbors. Some had permits,
some didn’t. There was never really a definitive rule on what events fake
ranchers could host and what they couldn’t; how often, how loud, and
how many they could accommodate. And where a loophole exists, expect it to be exploited.
County commissioners failed to tighten things up despite a preponderance of feedback opposed to allowing fake ranches to throw any kind
of a commercial party. Neighbors are tired of the loud music, drunken
guests, and other piercing disturbances to the bucolic lifestyle offered in
residential areas far from the glow of downtown’s lights.
Commissioners opted for a pitifully miniscule 300-foot setback for
events. They also backed off a concrete limit on the number of events
that could be held annually, striking the proposed 20, and opting instead
for a nebulous whatever feels right: case-by-case basis. Commissioners
defended the watered down regulations–to be voted on Sept. 17–by
saying they favored flexibility over hard and fast rules.
Attorneys drool over the world “flexibility.” Flexibility and case-bycase rule drafting opens the door for favoritism and taxes an already
overworked commission with one more thing on the agenda, right after
the ‘who’s suing us today?’ item. ‘Flexibility’ means you don’t have the
balls to make a decree and stick by it.
Wyoming delegates represent in DC
Grover Norquist is a bully; a big, fat misguided bully.
The Washington insider is a powerful lobbyist and
founder of Americans for Tax Reform. He’s pressured
279 Republican members of Congress to sign his pledge
stating they would never vote to raise taxes. Only 13 GOP
Congressional members have refused to sign.
Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming was one of the few who wouldn’t be
bullied. Sen. Mike Enzi now regrets he signed it and Rep. Cynthia Lummis is also showing signs she wants to distance herself from Norquist
and his anti-tax-hike pledge.
Give Lummis the bronze for telling Wyoming Public Media recently
that she was more concerned by and afraid of the debt and the deficit
than she was of slightly higher taxes or lower spending.
Wyoming’s senior senator, Mike Enzi, deserves a silver medal. He is
starting to see through Norquist’s divisive tactics. “Norquist isn’t offering
policy solutions, just ideological rigidity at a time of national need,” Enzi
said. He points to one area where a tax increase is inevitable. “I don’t
know how we’re going to have highways if we don’t increase the gas
tax. That’s a user fee. You don’t want to pay it, you don’t use it. So
we’re going to have to do some things like that if we’re going to have
the kind of America that we expect.”
And give the gold to Barrasso. He never bit when Norquist came calling even though some who did not sign were labeled “liberals” and proponents of tax increase.
“I have not signed that pledge, but I’m opposed to raising taxes,” Barrasso told WPM. “My record speaks for itself. I’m not somebody that
votes to raise taxes. Our problem isn’t that we’re taxed too little it’s that
we as a country spend too much and until we get the spending under
W
control we’re not going to adequately address the major issues facing
the country.”

Chamber of Commerce picks a winner
The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce Search Committee has selected Jeff Golightly as its new executive director. Golightly has spent the past 17 years with
Togwotee Mountain Lodge, serving as GM since 2000. He
really began to be noticed by flatlanders in Jackson when he
joined the Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Joint Powers Board
in 2010.
The process was a grueling one with some 60 resumes whittled to
three finalists over six weeks since June when Tim O’Donoghue announced his resignation. Golightly will begin work at the Chamber on
Sept. 17. A community reception is planned for 5:30 p.m., Wednesday,
Aug. 22, at The Wort Hotel. Golightly will offer a brief statement. The
public is invited to attend.

ter life.
JHW: What do you think the
United States should do with all
the undocumented people here?
Do you believe in amnesty or a
path to citizenship?
Answer: I think if they are
going to deport people, they
should deport people who commit crimes. We are treated as
criminals because of what other
people in our community do. If
they wouldn’t do drugs and alcohol, if they wouldn’t get in trouble with cops, or do any kind of
crime we would have it good.
Most of the people who come
here come for a better life. They
don’t want to get in trouble. They
really do hard work. In that case,
they should be able to keep going
here, because over here there are
more opportunities if you work
hard. But when you see people
doing crimes, the police think
and the government thinks are
they really here for a better life or
are they here to commit the
crimes that go on in their home
country?
JHW: So, you think the people
who are here for a better life and
who have committed no crimes

should be given a path to citizenship?
Answer: Yes. They should.
They need a better life. My
mother is a single mother, and
she has six kids to take care of.
She really works hard. She works
for me and for my brothers.
JHW: What is your life like
here? What do you do with your
free time when not in school?
Answer: I like jogging. I like
sports. I want to be in shape. I
hope to get accepted into college
for wrestling.
JHW: Do you know what you
want to do when you grow up?
Answer: If I dedicate most of
my time to wrestling, I might want
to become a professional wrestler
some day. If that doesn’t work really well, I might go into the Army

lack of documentation, will impact if you can go to college?
Answer: Yes. I am worried
about that. But if that goes wrong
I can go into the Army. I can go
after my dream or go protect the
citizens of this country. Those are
my two choices.
PulseOnPolitics
Candidates talk Comp Plan
By Jake Nichols
The following excerpts were
taken from the county commissioner hopefuls’ comments during the League of Women Voters
forum, Aug. 13.
Question: How would you balance the 2012 Comprehensive
Plan’s recommendations directing density toward town and already developed nodes in the
county in order to preserve open
space?
Barbara Allen, R, 39
We need to have a holistic discussion prior to the write of the
new land development regulations to ensure balance between
the goals of shifting density and
creating permanent open space.
The tools to shift density were not
flushed out enough and currently
rely heavily on downzoning. As
our current plan demonstrates,
zoning is not permanent. If we
choose the route of regulation, we
risk that the underlying zoning
may change in the future. Development pressure will only increase with time and population.
Without tools to create permanent open space, I don’t see that
we are achieving our goals.
Claire Fuller, D, 28
In seeking to balance Compre-
hensive Plan recommendations
for directing density toward town
and already developed areas with
the desire to preserve open space,
I would work to develop tools beyond zoning to accomplish a shift
in development in order to ensure
that we do not end up with more
development than is permitted
under current conditions. Trying
to alter development patterns
with zoning will not stand the test
of time, since zoning regulations
can be changed with a simple
vote. Rather, we should research
and develop tools that give permanent protections to lands from
which development is removed,
and give equitable gains to lands
to which development is directed.
Paul Perry, R, 49
I think the commissioners and
the community worked hard to
make many of the tough decisions during the update of the
plan. I wanted this plan to be better than the ‘94 plan; [one that
would] make tough decisions so
that every application going forward would not be a battle as it
has been in the past. The plan
identifies the maps in areas that
are key to our preservation and
conservation efforts. It then iden-
tifies appropriate areas in ‘Complete Neighborhoods’ for additional density to occur–and that
growth can only occur in a
thoughtful manner that respects a
specified defined future character.
The plan doesn’t try to eliminate
all density in rural areas; it tries to
reverse the current trend of six
out of 10 building permits issued
happening in rural areas. In order
to protect habitat and scenic vistas in these areas, we need to update our Planned Residential
Development regulation to better
effect clustering or transfer of
units.

Melissa Turley, D, 36
I believe it is important to put
new development where infrastructure already exists in order to
protect scenic vistas and wildlife
habitat, reduce traffic on our
roads, and lower the cost of new
development. Putting new development near existing homes and
businesses will also foster community and support our local
economy. The new Comprehensive Plan recommendation for directing density toward town and
other already developed areas will
preserve open space in other
parts of the county.

WILSON BRIDGE PARK
A pending proposal would permit rezoning
and private control of a park in the Snake
River riparian corridor just north of the
Wilson Bridge. We support the creation of a
natural park, and the related East/West

uses must be carefully controlled -- wildlife
impacts, parking, "events" and use by
commercial outfitters and their customers.
A conditional use permit (CUP) should
be required as part of the County rezoning,
to ensure that this critical riparian wildlife
habitat and scenic area will remain the low
impact "passive natural park" noted in the
application.

power

The riparian habitat known as Karns
Meadow, right smack in the middle of the
Town of Jackson, is a low-down dirty region.
Sundry items tend to settle there sooner or
later: a lost flip-flop, Wendy’s wrappers, and a
thousand tons of sand spread on city streets
over the course of a Jackson winter. The
meadow has been neglected at times over the
century when it was known as the Karns
Ranch, and abused in the years leading up to
Town of Jackson’s purchase of it in 2003.
Pete Karns sold his grandfather’s 1905
claim for a song and was happy to do so.
“Our main goal was to protect it and keep it
as open space, to keep it as a public park,”
Karns said. “Hopefully, Karns Meadow can be
used and accessed by a lot of people for years
to come while recognizing the wildlife values
there.”
The deal was made on a handshake in 2003.
The Town had cash reserves but not the $8
million asking price for 41 acres of prime wetlands. Instead, town manager Bob McLaurin
contrived a method of subdividing the property into six tracts. The purchase of each tract
triggered a buy option on the next until the
entire property was paid off. The Jackson Hole
Land Trust also contributed $1 million to
manage the conservation easements.
“We’d like to express our gratitude to the
Karns for their generosity and to the Town of
Jackson for its vision in helping protect this
special place … this is terrific news,” said
then-executive director Mattson-Emerson in
2003. “This is one that the Land Trust knows
will make a big difference to the community.”
The vision was the meadow would become
a kind of Central Park of Jackson without the
winos, pigeons and pickpockets. The Resource Management Plan of 2004 called for
eventual picnic tables and grills, sidewalks,
pathways and a ski track, bridges and restrooms, and a manicured turf playground.
While the entire property remains open to the
public, none of the amenities has come to
fruition yet. But that doesn’t mean things
haven’t been hopping in Karns Meadow.
The infamous fox family of 2008 is just one example of the abundant wildlife that takes advantage of the Karns Meadow habitat.

Solar flare
Solar panels feed energy to the town’s main drinking water pump.
In 2010, the Town of Jackson began two major projects utilizing its
newly-purchased property. One was slated from the get-go; the other
just fell from the sky.
Town Public Works Director Larry Pardee pitched the mayor and
council on an impressive array of photovoltaic cells; that’s solar panels
to the rest of us. The jolly “green” giants of local government loved the
renewability of the project but were a bit nervous about the size and
scope of the panels slated for the roof of the parking garage. Pardee offered a compromise: he would move 108 panels to Karns Meadow
where they could soak up sunshine and power Well No. 5 – Jackson’s
main drinking water well.
“The biggest reason that spot was chosen was it provided a flat piece
of ground with south-facing aspect,” Pardee said. “Then, the grant was
for drinking water so I had to first prove how we were doing a “green”
project to save energy or water.”
Pardee got the feds to foot the entire bill ($144,000), through the
American Recovery Investment Act of 2009. The town pitched in a
grand more to build a fence around the array, and presto – Well No. 5
drinks up 25 kW of “sol power.” When the town doesn’t use the excess
electricity generated it sells it back to Lower Valley Energy.
Also launched in 2010 was the storm water treatment system. One of
the main reasons the Town of Jackson wanted to get its mitts on Karns
Meadow was to use it to scrub clean Flat Creek and repair some of the
wetlands area to the east.
Flat Creek had become so impacted by street runoff and general town
waste that the Environmental Protection Agency declared the stream
“threatened” in 1992. As part of the Flat Creek restoration project and
water enhancement, Town Engineer Shawn O’Malley got to work in
2010 constructing a “natural” series of ponds designed to biologically
filter storm water runoff before it enters Flat Creek. No machinery, no
unsightly culverts or pipes, just an agrarian rechanneling and pooling
of running water to create an organic filtration system.
“We just tested the system and feel it will be ready in about one
month. We want to make sure the plants have a really good root system
before we start pouring water through there,” O’Malley said of the complex engineering project that relies on the simplicity of basic natural
features.
Storm water runoff has plagued Flat Creek, particularly in the Karns
Meadow area, for decades since the town bulked up around the 40-mile
long creek. Pollutants and general silt threaten the waterway’s health
on a daily basis.
“The storm water aspect is basically for surface flows,” O’Malley said.
“We also hooked up our two biggest systems – Snow King tube and Kelly
tube – putting in diversions that allow us to take the first flush, which will
be directed into the two settling ponds inside the treatment land. As the
water builds the water will flow over the weirs and go into Flat Creek like
it always does. We will get the majority of silt, maybe 400 yards of material eliminated from going into the creek. In a storm event all three basins
will swell up and settle back down and be ready for the next event.”
O’Malley said the sediment collected in the ponds will include some
of the reclaimed 2,000 tons of dirt put down on town streets in the winter along with pollutant removal from manure-rich topsoil at the neighboring rodeo grounds. A mini-excavator will be used to dig out the
ponds once or twice a year.
One thing O’Malley doesn’t have to worry about making its way to

signs have cropped up lately as the area has seen
heavier use by dog owners looking to beat the
heat by allowing Fido to swim in the creek. The
current official dog park has no water features.
The signs warn motorists about parking. Some
have taken to driving and parking off-road on

So is Karns Meadow a place to
bring your dog?
JAKE NICHOLS
Land steward and staff biologist for the Land
Trust, Tom Segerstrom, admits the Karns
Meadow property can get a little tricky. “There
are four different conservation easements on
four different tracts and two covenants on the
two other tracts. Each reads a little bit different
from the others,” he said.
Segerstrom explained Tract 4 is where the
water treatment is taking shape. Tract 3 is where
the public got used to seeing the red fox family
do its thing in 2008. Tract 2, to the north, covers
a great portion of the one mile of Flat Creek that
flows through the 41-acre property. Tract 1 is the
creek south of Tract 2 and the area around the
solar panel zone. Tract 6 is the plot to the far
north behind the Centennial Building on Broadway. Tract 5 is the land next to the future START
Bus depot site that is currently being used as a
lunch hour dog run.
“The Karns family and our community kept
alive the opportunity to make the entire Flat
Creek drainage better. This park also retains
some flexibility for flood control because it acts
like a sponge to absorb floodwater where there
will be no property damage. This project is the
result of great collective wisdom,” Segerstrom
stated in a Trust newsletter.
Segerstrom invited people to feel free to use
the meadows. Many residents overlook the park
or simply avoid it because they are not sure who
the property belongs to or how it can be used.
“The whole park is open to all,” Segerstrom
said. “On the east side of the stream is an actual
park with no established trails but you’re free to
go in there. On the west side is an area that will
one day have grills and picnic benches when the
resources become available to develop it. Use of
Tract 5 is fine as long as it doesn’t degrade the
values inside a 50-foot setback along the creek.
Tract 5 will likely be used for parking in the future but for now you can land paragliders there
or whatever. What is difficult for people is there
is six different tracts in there so it’s hard to tell
where those boundaries are.”
The distinct tracts are not plotted in any manner visible to the public so it is virtually impossible to tell where you’re standing. Numerous
A hot, dry summer has prompted a spike in dog use
in the meadows. Officially dogs are not permitted.
Unofficially, well, keep it on the DL.
The entire park is owned by the town, overseen by the Land Trust, and managed by Parks
and Rec. Parks and Recreation Director Steve
Ashworth said dogs are permitted only along
the road area and only on a leash. They are technically not allowed to roam freely or get in the
creek. But so long as the park remains undeveloped, the department seems to be willing to
look the other way if no one is causing a major
problem.
“As far as dogs, the only exception is when a
bike path is built on that connector road (currently the dirt road that connects Snow King Ave.
with Broadway). Dogs will be allowed, on a
leash, on the Pathway. Everything is just like all
of our other parks within town limits. The same
ordinances apply.”
As more users teem to Karns Meadow on a hot
summer day, something will need to be done
about parking. A portion of Tract 5, once home
to the Park-and-Ride, will eventually be established as a parking lot.
Ashworth said it all comes down to funding, of
course. Future plans for enhancements seem far
off in the future. For now, his department is satisfied keeping the area safe and clean for the
public to enjoy.
Karns has been happy with his gift to the town
so far. Still, he hopes to see the vision completed
in his lifetime. “It’s been kind of a very slow
process,” he said. “I’m disappointed that a pathway hasn’t been built there. We had planned for
a loop around the whole perimeter. Someday
there will be a connector road in there as well.
The state of economy being what it is, a lot of
projects like this have taken a backseat. But the
wildlife seems to be doing well in there.”

Robert Randolph will deliver precise playing with a funk-rock vibe.
Funkin’ gospel steel Sabbath
By Aaron Davis
The most rock-oriented rippers of all pedalsteel players, Robert Randolph and the Family
Band, will close a successful inaugural run of
concerts for JacksonHoleLive during what will
now be “sacred steel Sunday.”
Many Jacksonites first saw the Randolph
experience at the Jackson Hole Music Festival
in 2008. At the time, Randolph’s touring band
consisted of two additional pedal steel players
backed by electric guitar, bass, organ and
drums. From bootlegs as recent as Aug. 12,
however, it appears that the Family Band has
been trimmed to a quartet.
Randolph grew up in the House of God
where pedal steel was an intricate part of the
church’s tradition. Inspired by gospel roots,
’70s funk, a heavy dose of Stevie Ray Vaughan
and Eric Clapton technique, and the spirit of
high-energy, lengthy improvisation, Randolph
has earned a reputation as one of the finest
instrumentalists on Earth (he was the only
pedal-steel player on Rolling Stone’s Top 100
Guitarists list). His playing – like Jimi Hendrix’s expression of voodoo magic and atypical sounds – is certainly out-of-the-box and
timeless. In concert, Randolph is all about the
energy. Jams are fully explored, and on occasion, even audience members are brought on
stage to participate.
His latest studio effort, We Walk This Road
[2010], was recorded over the course of two

years with producer T-Bone Burnett. The
album pays tribute to African-American
music over the past 100 years, specifically
rooted in the folk-blues of the 1920s and 30s,
but also showcases the smoothness of Randolph’s instrumental style as well as additional lyrics. Randolph’s second live album,
Live in Concert, was released in 2011.
In concert, Randolph is all
about the energy. Jams are
fully explored, and on occasion, even audience members
are brought on stage
to participate.
“Working with T-Bone and just sitting down
and talking with him … when you have the
opportunity to make music with and take in all
the knowledge this guy has who understands
the roots of American history, it was different
from making my other albums,” Randolph
told Artist Direct. “He understands how it all
came from the old gospel recordings and the
old field recordings from back in the day. This
all came from the church and working with a
producer like T-Bone, we could tie it all in and
make a record that speaks to the people that
understand who Robert Randolph is.”
Randolph has been nominated for four
Grammy Awards – for his recording of the Stevie Wonder classic “Higher Ground” with
gospel legends The Clark Sisters, his debut
album Unclassified was nominated for Best
Rock Gospel Album, while the track
“Squeeze” was nominated for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
Each of the local openers – Benyaro and Elk
Attack – has new albums to celebrate this summer. Folk/soul duo Benyaro released its third
studio album, The Cover EP, featuring acoustic
arrangements of songs from Sam Cooke and
Etta James among others, and has been touring
the West for much of the summer.
Indie/folk/rock quintet Elk Attack recently
completed a fan-funded Kickstarter campaign that raised more than $5,500 towards
the production of its debut studio effort, Second Born. The album will be released in the
coming weeks followed by a tour that will
take the band to the Southeast. Elk Attack
consists of songwriters Bo Elledge
(guitar/vocals, Dustin Nichols-Schmolze
(guitar/vocals), Gabrielle Jackson Kouchacji
(violin/vocals), John Wayne Harris Jr.
(drums), and Adam Wooley (bass).
JacksonHoleLive presents Robert Randolph
and the Family Band with special guests Benyaro and Elk Attack, 3 p.m., Sunday at Snow
King Ball Field. Free, all-ages. JacksonHoleLiveMusic.com.

FLANNEL ATTRACTIONS
T BIRD AND THE BREAKS
The Flannel Attractions make club debut on Saturday.
Fresh Jackson Attraction
There’s a new local band that has stepped up in the indie-folk/bluegrass genre, and the
name seems to fit the blend like a glove – The Flannel Attractions. Consisting of singer-songwriter/guitarist Pat Chadwick, banjoist Jessie Lestitian, violinist/vocalist Emily Yarbrough, mandolinist Lucas Nash, and bassist Leif Routman, the quintet nestles into a space somewhere
between traditional bluegrass and contemporaries like The Lumineers. While Chadwick credits Ryan Adams, David Gray and Ray LaMontagne as songwriting influences, the hybrid style is
also reflected in some of their non-original material a la Arcade Fire, The Postal Service, Paul
Simon, and John Prine.
The Flannel Attractions play two shows on Saturday, 9 to 11 a.m., at the JH Farmer’s
Market on Town Square, and 7 to 10 p.m., at the Mangy Moose in Teton Village. Free
T Bird and the Breaks join Pool Party for a
JacksonHoleLIVE! after-party.
Austin soul-hop party
Nine-piece T Bird and the Breaks, led by frontman
Tim Crane, gets heavy with “chunk” music. That is, it
blends equal parts funk, hip-hop and rock characterized
by its rough sonic quality. Crane is a student of ’50s and
’60s blues and soul: Booker T. and the MG’s, Otis Redding, James Brown, though I hear a splice of The
Beastie Boys too.
And who doesn’t like a Pool Party? Dub step, drum
‘n’ bass and break beats galore, San Diego-based trio
Pool Party will open the show with electronic-fused live
hip-hop.
T Bird and the Breaks with guests Pool Party perform, 10 p.m., Sunday, at the Pink Garter Theatre.

Quirky duos unite
Tartufi – a San Francisco-based pop-rock looping duo featuring a drum and bass foundation,
laced with keys and ambient vocals – wasn’t satisfied after releasing three albums as a powerpop trio during 2002 to 2005. In 2006, the duo ditched previous material and geared up with
bigger amplifiers and modified loop stations. The developed sound earned Best Indie Band
cred from the San Francisco Bay Guardian.
Boise-based opener Finn Riggins brings quirky indie rock with threads of prog-pop, postpunk and synth-driven pop.
Tartufi and Finn Riggins, 10 p.m., Friday, at the Pink Garter Theatre. Free.

CD REVIEWS
Parklife
Anastasis
The Mighty Death Pop
BLUR
DEAD CAN DANCE
INSANE CLOWN POSSE
Few would have guessed that Blur would
emerge as the great British band of the ’90s.
That fact still might not be clear in the
United States where Blur never achieved the
same level of commercial success they did
back home. There is something permanently
British in Blur’s sounds: whirling psychedelia, anthem pop, and, of course, the permanent mark of the Beatles. So, Blur were a
perfect choice to play The Olympic Closing
Ceremony in Hyde Park. But the decision to
release that show within days as Parklife was
inspired! In 2009, Blur released All the People: Blur Live at Hyde Park, and it is a fantastic document. But Parklife is even better.
Blur want you to know they have been
around for 21 years; they have a new compilation boxset called 21. So, in addition to
mention of kids and age-appropriate lyric
update, the setlist of Parklive tours the catalogue landing on the hits but also the bsides. The great moments here are many
including Beetlebum’s amazing guitar, Phil
Daniels on “Parklife” and the nine-minute
workout of “Tender.” The audience enthusiasm breathes throughout the mix capturing
the moment. – Richard Abowitz
Pull out your hookah, fire up the incense
and grab a bottle of Metaxa to drink in your
dimly-lit bedroom as you prepare for your initial listen of Dead Can Dance’s first album in
16 years, Anastasis. Anastasis refuses to pigeonhole into a single label, save the accusation of being a bit rhythmically glacial. It
opens with “Children of the Sun,” a song with
Brendan Perry on monastic vocals, proclaiming “We are ancients, as ancient as the sun.”
This line sets tonal stage for the rest of the
album; eight tracks wrapped up into West Indian steel drum, gamelan gong, and Middle
Eastern strings, and floating somewhere in
the Mediterranean between Greece, Turkey,
and North Africa. Lisa Gerrard’s voice has
only grown into more of its siren quality, as
she wails in “Agape” like an introspective
femme fatale. “Opium” rolls in Moroccan Sufi
6/8 rhythm at the charge of horns and melting
strings, and “Anabasis” features the Hang, a
gorgeous instrument that’s a blend of gong
and steel drum. Conclusion: playing Anastasis
at your next dinner party is probably not a
good idea, but it’s the perfect soundtrack to a
night of adventures in worldly exoticism.
– Madelaine German
Bands like Pussy Riot are meant to change
history. Others like Insane Clown Posse
merely annoy suburban parents. Of course,
by now ICP have been around long enough
to be dad’s music. Though making rap since
the ’80s, ICP have stayed credible by not
growing, maturing or improving. The group’s
most impressive quality remains being prolific. To be fair, there was a bad novel’s worth
of backstory crammed into their juvenile
carnival meets comics rap. But we are long
past the truly shocking revelation at the end
of the Joker series that ICP believe God has
them on a mission. On The Mighty Death
Pop the mission still includes songs of endless violence, sexual depravity and a love of
cheap orange soda. If this disc has a theme,
it is abuse thy enemies. “The Blasta” find the
40-something clowns still worried about bullies from high school. To be fair they raise the
stake to their own kids getting bullied, but
the anger comes from the early years. ICP
discs are formula at this point and musically
The Mighty Death Pop is an average itineration. – Richard Abowitz

Artist Jennifer Hoffman makes
progress when she presses
pause. While many of us seek inspiration in life’s loud and colorful moments, Hoffman says it’s
“those times in-between” that
created her new solo show, Natural Intervals.
“I think this show is more
about things not happening than
happening,” Hoffman admitted.
“These paintings come from a
place of being really still; not
going out and looking for something spectacular and just being
inspired by being in a place.”
Natural Intervals, Hoffman explained, is a recurrent theme intertwined in poetry, literature
and music that injects relevance
into her own life. “I’ve been
thinking about the idea of space
and quiet,” Hoffman said. “Life
is so full of rush … I find more
joy when I spend time in the
spaces in between the stuff we
have to do, and I’m also intrigued with the idea of intervals
in music – how the chords relate,
and how it influences the space
between them.”
Hoffman, a landscape and
wildlife artist, chose the decidedly less-traversed Munger
Mountain as the focal point of
her feature piece, “Cloud Shad-
ows.” Located in the Snake River
Highlands and offering sublime
views of the Tetons and Gros
Ventre, Munger Mountain was
once the sight of a lookout tower
used by the Forest Service to
monitor wildfires. Today, Munger
Mountain’s rocky, steep, and oftdeserted trails attract some audacious dirt bikers and just a
handful of brazen bikers and
hikers. “I have been looking at
Munger Mountain, which is right
across the river from my studio,
and it’s this expansive field of
sagebrush,” Hoffman explained.
“Most wouldn’t give it a second
glance but since I stare at it all
the time I see it in a different
way.” Through her use of shadow
and light, Hoffman’s clouds delicately hug the voluptuous curves
of Munger Mountain.
Natural Intervals includes a
of pieces, including oils, pastels
and silverpoint, capturing the
unique quietude of the Yellowstone and Madison Rivers, along
with scenes of Aspen groves and
wildflowers.
This solo exhibit marks the
first time Hoffman hangs two silverpoint pieces, which requires a
unique and less forgiving
process than, say, painting.
“It’s such a neat medium because you draw with a tiny wire
of silver and leave a hint of that

metal on the surface,” Hoffman
explained. “As time goes on the
metal oxidizes and it changes,
the color becomes warmer and
darker and it has this kind of
whispery effect.”
When asked if a wildlife and
landscape artist who relies on
the esthetic of open spaces could
survive making art in the city,
Hoffman replied, “I think I can
find beauty anywhere. No matter
how crazy life gets, I can take a
moment, take a breath and get
recharged. I told someone once
that I could find something
beautiful to paint even in a parking garage.”

CALENDAR ENDS
Seven weeks of culture
tames a wild place
By Madelaine German
After another fabulous stretch,
the 51st season of the Grand
Teton Music Festival came to a
close with this past weekend’s
“Celestial Bliss” concerts. From
July 4’s opening “Music in the
Hole: Salute a Soldier!” annual
free patriotic concert to August
10 and 11’s “Russian Masters”
and vodka tasting parties, the
Grand Teton Music Festival has
once again managed to bring a
healthy dose of culture, musicianship and community to the
Jackson Hole valley. Maestro
Donald Runnicles sat down with
the JH Weekly to discuss his
thoughts on the season’s run.
“I am very passionate about
Jackson Hole being a destination
for culture, not just a destination
for outdoor activity,” he began.
“And it’s our mission at the
Grand Teton Music Festival to
turn this place into more of exactly that.”
This season’s program bill reflected that mission, colored with
guest artists of all different genres
and styles, from the up-and-coming Wagnerian soprano Heidi
Melton to folk songstress Ruth
Moody and Mormon piano
shredders The 5 Browns to the
Hungarian Ferenc Illenyi and his
Gypsy Jazz Band.
This season’s repertoire also
ran the gamut, featuring composers from Baroque to contemporary and bedding scores from
Bach to Bruckner, Wagner to
Aaron Jay Kernis. “The repertoire that we choose cannot just
be for me or the musicians personally,” Maestro Runnicles
shared of the year’s program
choices. “I think audiences are
eager to be challenged, eager to
be nourished and inspired, but
also to have their horizons
widened,” he explained. “And
that’s our job at the Festival, to
give our audiences what they’re
looking for, and also some of
what they haven’t thought to
look for yet. I love doing that,
programming is fun.”
Poor early season turnout was
a bit a of a bust for Festival planners, an inquiry to which Runnicles responded: “In terms of
audience response this season,
the initial attendances were very
disappointing, and I think that
it’s a reality that there’s a lot more
you can do with your time here
on any given weekend.” How to
combat the reality of that very
“first-world” problem? “I think
we’ll have to take a long, hard
look at how we’re getting the
message out,” responded the
Maestro. Early Saturday concert

Maestro Donald Runnicles reflects on GTMF’s season.
p.m.) were in the architecture for
a second season in a row, and audience response to that was also
a little shoddy. “Change is always
a hard thing,” Runnicles explained. “Some people have been
very willing to give [the earlier
concert time] a try, and others
have been less willing.”
So what does the future of the
festival hold? “I do believe that
there are a lot of people around
the world who would give a lot to
be here to experience music
making at this level,” the Maestro
spoke, as visions of worldwide
GTMF patron attendance danced
through his head.
“It’s our mission to turn Jack-
son into more of a cultural destination. From a practical standpoint, there are more direct
flights into Jackson than ever before,” he explained. “We need to
get the message of what we are
doing here out in Chicago, New
York, San Francisco.” As for the
new Executive Director of the
Festival, this season’s acting Executive Director Steve Friedlander appears to be the likeliest
candidate, a supposition that
could be confirmed by the end of
this week.
“Seven weeks fly by,” concluded Maestro Runnicles in his
JH Weekly interview. As they certainly, albeit beautifully, do.

I love street food. Whether
it’s greasy fried rice, a slice of
cheesy pizza, a savory falafel,
or a blistered and red-tinted
hot dog, I’m in, no questions
asked – on the mysteries of
street meat, and no concern as
to whether or not my food cart
server wore gloves. I just want
the goods.
One thing I have struggled
with is the fancification of
these much-loved peasant
dishes. No, I don’t need filet
mignon in my lo mein. Thanks,
but I’ll have extra pepperoni
instead of pheasant confit on
that slice. Wait, and none of
that wine-soaked goat cheese,
I’ll take the shaker of the yellowing Parmesan. Yes, the one
that was here last month.
It’s not that I don’t thoroughly enjoy the mystical and
powerful ways of haute cuisine. In fact, I’m happy to turn
my nose up at an expensive
dry-aged ribeye if it’s a few degrees over medium rare in the
right setting, but please don’t
make me think too hard when
all I want is to stick my face
into a drooping paper plate of
powdered sugar-coated fried
dough.
That said, this week I discovered that my trusty cookout
go-to, the hot dog, looks just as
approachable and tastes surprisingly as unpretentious
when dressed to the nines as it
does coming out of a county
fair truck.
DeliDogs, the new hotdog
joint in the White Buffalo Club,
opened its doors last week and
introduced Jackson to the art
of hot dog creation. The unassuming red sidewalk coverings
and shiny metal stand-up
counters on the outside do not
give evidence to the innovative
and endless hot dog combina-
tions that are being whipped
up inside.
DeliDogs currently offers
three types of hot dogs, nine
salad toppings, and seven
sauces, with more special salad
and sauce options on the way.
Among the topping possibilities are the salami jack, fiery
feta, Greek, spicy egg salad,
and potato salad, all of which
Second came the turkey
dog, which I requested
smothered in spicy egg
salad, pickles and Dijon
mustard. Reminiscent of
a summer picnic, this dog
had everything I needed
to take me back to
childhood camping trips
and days on the lake.
are made in-house.
Before we dive into the good
stuff, two pearls of wisdom.
Word on the street is that the
Asian slaw is a contender for
best salad, but the couple
times I’ve been in, it has already run out for the day, so
get there early for that one.
Secondly, DeliDogs serves its
hot dogs on pitas, but don’t let
that scare you. After one bite,
any thoughts of consternation
at the replacement of the
beloved bun quickly retreats to
make room for the irresistible
yum factor.
Though feeling a little overwhelmed at the options, but
chomping at the bit to taste the
whole package, I decided on
three distinctly different combinations. First was the classic
dog, which is a beef and pork
mix. Enter the meat trifecta: I
chose to top this one with
chicken salad and pepper jack
cheese. This bad boy was good,
but not a combo I would order
again. The chicken salad alone
was excellent – it even has
pecan bits – but the trinity of
proteins just didn’t sing like I
thought they would. The classic dog itself was meaty and
satisfying, so I’m convinced
my combination skills were
just off on this one.
Second came the turkey dog,
which I requested smothered
in spicy egg salad, pickles and
Dijon mustard. Reminiscent of
a summer picnic, this dog had
everything I needed to take me
back to childhood camping
trips and days on the lake. The
warm hot dog, paired with the
cool, creamy egg salad was
perfectly complemented by the
tang of the pickles and the
spiciness of the mustard.
My last dog was the wagyu
dog, topped with the fiery feta
salad and jalapenos. The hot
dog itself is high-class stuff,
sourced from Snake River
Ranch beef and made locally.
But pair that with the fresh and
thoughtful toppings, and you
might not come up for air until
the whole thing is gone. The
salty feta cheese, the savory
salami, the spicy jalapenos and
the juicy wagyu came together
in beautiful, meaty harmony,
and would have been perfect
with a cold beer, or four.
What it comes down to is
that DeliDogs is serving hot
dogs; what it’s doing isn’t lifealtering, but its done really
well, and if you’re in the mood
for a tasty dog at a good price
($5 to $10), with some unique,
homemade toppings, this is
your place. Rest assured, I’ll
see you there.
DeliDogs is open 11 a.m. to 7
p.m., daily. It’s located on the
corner of Millward and Gill.

1616: The world in motion
MEET Brooks Woodfin!
Brooks is the newest addition
to the 121 Wellness Team!
THOMAS CHRISTENSEN
1616 was not one of those years like 1066 or 1492 or even 1968
where the world seemed transformed by new possibilities. Christensen recognizes that. In some ways there is an implicit argument
here that if you examine any moment with enough perception you
can glean the emergent future. What could be a droll scholarly exercise is enlivened by Christensen’s story telling. He gets that in such a
book the journey matters more than the destination. He wears learning lightly while not avoiding the complexities of his topic. For
starters, 1616 was a year in which two calendars were in use depending on where you lived. The result is the quirk of history that on April
23, 1616 Shakespeare and Cervantes, two pillars of literature, shared
the same date of death despite expiring weeks apart.
Christensen has no thesis to offer about 1616 nor is he noticeably
in the thrall of any of the hipster theories of history. The subtitle, “The World in Motion,” also
describes the method of this book. And, by world Christensen manages to see far past Europe
and the New World. The view includes Japan cutting itself off from the world after Christian
missionaries inflamed its paranoia of outsiders. An empire in China prepares to expire as the
emperor engages in a losing battle with his own institutions. Africa, India and the Middle East
are all tracked as they struggled with various elements of a changing world.
The brutal silver mine’s role in the developing slave trade is explored through some of the
more memorable characters of history. Among them is Guaman Poma. Christensen quotes extensively from source documents throughout and among the most stunning is Poma’s description of native forced labor in the Spanish silver mines: “… They die like flies and our whole race
is threatened with extermination. Even the chiefs are tortured by being suspended from their
feet. … The managers and supervisors … have virtually absolute power. There is no reason for
them to fear justice, since they are never brought before the courts … beatings are incessant.
The victims are mounted on a llama’s back, tied naked to a round pillar or put in the stocks.”
Poma not only left such vivid descriptions, he also bore witness with detailed illustrations of
what today would be called crimes against humanity. Poma’s efforts resulted in a manuscript
that Christensen reports was 1,189 pages long with 389 illustrations: “The First New Chronicle
and Good Government.” Poma’s goal went beyond documentation into activism. He made his
entire book a letter to King Phillip III of Spain expecting things to be improved once he’d
brought the situation to light. Instead the manuscript lay forgotten in a Danish library until
being discovered in 1908. – Richard Abowitz

By Clyde Thonehill
I parked my truck in the middle of the bike path and surveyed
the college students working the
archeology site north of Hog Island on Game Creek. While I
have no official college degree or
training in archeology, I have
seen all Indiana Jones movies as
well as the 1959 classic “The
Mummy.” I understand the dangers associated with disturbing
things from the past, including
disturbing old girlfriends with a
call at midnight when one is
drunk and lonely.
One of the college students, a
buxom blond, wearing a shirt
tied up high on her belly, the
buttons open low and sporting a
pair of shorts that would make
Daisy Duke blush, appeared to
be the intellectual type. I approached her.
“Pardon me,” I said. “I am
Professor Thornhill of Yale University’s Council on Archaeological Studies. I was on my way to
a dig in Egypt when I saw you
excavating here.” I used a
Boston accent even though I
wasn’t sure if Yale was in Boston
or Massachusetts. In fact, all I
knew about Yale was their football team sucked.
“Yale! Egypt!” She sounded
impressed.
“Yes, I will be opening a previously undiscovered tomb of a
pharaoh. Tragically, my research
assistant became ill and she
cannot accompany me, a pity
really. So have you found anything of scientific interest?”
She held out a tiny splinter
of blackened bone. I took it
and examined it closely but
unfortunately there was no
meat left on it.
“Ahh, a classic example of the
ancient Porcus-Insula period,” I
say.
“The Porcus-Insula period?”
she asked.
WRITERS
WANTED
“Like Atlantis,” I said. “Stories
of ancient Hog Island abound in
antique manuscripts and legends. According to popular
mythology, Hog Island was once
an egalitarian society; people
lived in harmony with nature,
practiced gender equality and
often passed non-binding resolutions supporting world peace.
Women performed the important duties of raising and
butchering the hogs, of planting
barley and brewing beer while
the men fished, and later in the
evenings, barbecued ribs, drank
pitchers of beer, and watched
while the women tested their
strength in mud wrestling
matches.
“The people were content,
and then a stranger wandered
in. Hog Islanders fed him and
gave him beer, but he was not
happy. He planted vines and
was soon making wine and eating fish raw with wasabi and soy
sauce. He built a 4,000 square
foot teepee with a great room
and butler’s pantry. Suddenly,
women were no longer satisfied.
‘I want a heated driveway,’ one
said. ‘I need a yoga room,’ another complained.
“There was discord among
the people and they disbanded,
those keeping to the old ways
moving to Hoback Junction;
others followed the stranger to
The Pines and Westbank. And
like Atlantis, the ancient civilization of Hog Island faded into the
mist of legend.”
“Do you need a new assistant?” she asked. “I would love
to open a pharaoh’s tomb.”
“Perhaps.” I was hesitant. “I
am spending the night researching an old single-wide trailer, a
remnant of the classical neoEngler-Robertson Hog Island
era. Why don’t you join me and
we will see how it works out.”
She smiled. I love intellectual
girls.

FREEWILL ASTROLOGY
ROB BREZNEY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do you know
what a controlled burn is? Firefighters start
small, manageable fires on purpose so as to
eradicate brush that has accumulated too close
to wooded areas. With less fuel around, bigger
fires are not as likely to ignite accidentally and
turn into conflagrations. I encourage you to use
this as a metaphor for your own life, Aries.
How? First, identify a big potential problem
that may be looming on the horizon. Then, in
the coming weeks, get rid of all the small
messes that might tend to feed that big problem. Make sure it’ll never happen.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Jungian storyteller Clarissa Pinkola Estes advises us to take
good care of the untamed aspects of our nature. “The wild life must be kept ordered on a
regular basis,” she writes. One way to do this
is to keep our uncommon and unruly ideas
clear and organized. It’s also important to give
them respect, and understand that they’re crucial to our spiritual and psychological health.
How are you doing in this regard, Taurus?
What’s your relationship with the untamed aspects of your nature? According to my reading
of the omens, now is prime time for you honor
and nurture and cultivate them.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): By my astrological reckoning, you’re not nearly wet enough
right now. I recommend that you take immediate and intensive steps to remedy the situation.
There should not be anything about you that is
high and dry; you need to soak up the benefits
that come from being slippery and dripping. If
you’re suffering from even a hint of emotional
dehydration, you should submerse yourself in
the nearest pool of primal feelings. For extra
credit, drink deeply from the sacred cup that
never empties.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the 16th century, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V ruled
over a vast swath of land that included 12 modern European nations. According to some historians, he once said, “I speak Spanish to God,
Italian to women, French to men, and German
to my horse.” This is the kind of attitude I recommend that you adopt in the coming weeks,
Cancerian. Tailor your language to the people
and creatures you’re speaking to. Address
them on their own level of consciousness, respecting their limitations and appealing to their
particular kind of intelligence. Of course this is
always a good policy, but it’s especially important for you to observe now. Fluency and flexibility will be rewarded in ways you can’t
imagine.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Would you like to
enhance your relationship with money? If so,
do you have any specific ideas about how to do
it? The coming weeks will be an excellent time
to identify and implement those ideas. Let me
make an initial suggestion: Keep your magical
thinking to a minimum, but don’t stamp it out
entirely; a small amount of frisky fantasizing will
actually boost the likelihood that your more
practical intentions will achieve critical mass.
Here’s another tip: Imagine the presents you’d
get for people if you had some extra cash.
Stimulating your generous urges may help motivate the universe to be generous to you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A guy I know
was invited to hang one of his paintings in a
New York gallery — on one condition. It had
to be a piece he created on the spot, in the
gallery, on the day the show opened. That
would be way too much pressure for me to
handle. I need to spend a long time on the stuff
I make, whether it’s music or writing. I’ve got
to fuss over every little detail as I constantly
edit and refine and add layers. What about you,
Virgo? Could you quickly come up with some
new wrinkle or fresh creation that would show
the world who you really are? I’m guessing we
will soon find out.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you’ve been
reading my horoscopes for a while, you know
I’m not a decadent cynic who thinks “no pain,
no gain” is the supreme formula for success.
On the contrary. I think it’s quite possible to
enjoy tremendous growth spurts when you’re
happy and healthy. Pleasurable events can be
great learning experiences. Joy and freedom
may activate potentials that would otherwise
remain dormant. Having said that, I want to
make a suggestion that may seem at odds with
my usual approach, even though it’s not. For
the next two weeks, I encourage you to explore the necessary power of decay. Harness
the archetypes of breakdown and dissolution
as you put an end to things whose time is up.
This work is key to your future rejuvenation
and renaissance.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I’m going to
ignore the Urban Dictionary’s more modern
definitions of the word “yeast,” and stick to the
original meaning: an agent of fermentation that
brews alcoholic drinks and makes bread dough
rise. Metaphorically speaking, Scorpio, you
should be like that for your gang or crew or
tribe. I urge you to stir up group morale. Provoke deeper thought and stronger feelings. Instigate some bubbly new trends and
effervescent interactions. Be yeasty!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sussex
is a county in southeast England. Its official
motto is “We wunt be druv,” which is Sussex
dialect for “We won’t be pushed around.” It’s
not bad as mottoes go, I guess. There’s power
in announcing to the world that you’re not
going to allow anyone to manipulate you or
bully you. But I’d like to see you come up with
a more robust battle cry for yourself, Sagittarius — one that doesn’t focus on what you
won’t do, but rather on what you will do. It’s
an ideal astrological moment to articulate your
driving purpose in a pithy formula that will give
you strength whenever you invoke it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Most
people consider global warming somewhat of a
mixed blessing,” wrote Aaron Sankin on Huffington Post. “On one hand, there’s ocean acidification, deserts gobbling up wide swaths of
We e k o f A u g u s t 2 2
farmland and the massive die-off of the innumerable species unable to cope with the effects of the world’s rapidly rising temperature.
But, on the other hand, you’ll be able to wear
shorts for literally the entire year.“ Sankin is
being deeply sarcastic, of course. Let’s make
his satire a jumping-off point as we consider
some sincerely worthwhile trade-offs you
might want to implement in your own sphere.
Would you be willing to sacrifice a trivial comfort for a new privilege? Would you shed a
small pleasure to gain a much bigger pleasure?
Might you divest yourself of a pocket of resentment if in doing so you’d attract a cleansing
epiphany?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I don’t expect your travels in the coming weeks to be
like a smooth luxury cruise in a stretch limousine. Your route is not likely to be a straight
shot through breathtaking scenery with expansive views. No, my dear Aquarius, your journeys will be more complicated than that, more
snakey and labyrinthine. Some of the narrow
passages and weedy detours you’ll need to
navigate may not even resemble paths, let
alone highways. And your metaphorical vehicle
may resemble a funky old 1967 Chevy pick-up
truck or a forklift bedecked with flowers. It
should be pretty fun, though. Keep in mind that
your maps may only be partially useful.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In medieval
times, you didn’t need a priest to get married,
nor did you have to be in a church or recite a
set of vows. You didn’t even have to round up
witnesses. All that was required was that the
two people who wanted to be wed said “I
marry you” to each other. Those three words
had great power! In the coming days, Pisces,
I’d love to see you draw inspiration from that
lost tradition. Your assignment is to dream up
three potent declarations that, while not legally
binding, express the deepest and most loving
intentions you promise to be faithful to in the
coming years.
