MOUNTAIN PINE BEETLE ALERT! SAVING TREES IN JACKSON HOLE Brace yourself for the BIGGEST onslaught of MOUNTAIN PINE BEETLE ATTACKS since 1978. HOST: Lodgepole, Limber, White Bark Pine, and Scotch. In 1978, after killing millions of acres of pine trees, the cycle of the Mountain Pine Beetle reached its peak. A low temperature of -67 degrees and sustained cold of -30 degrees for weeks killed the beetles ending their cycle. In 1999, after years of drought/fires the cycle once again reversed itself. The Jackson area hasn’t had a sustained -30 degree or colder winter in at least 10 years. This season Mountain Pine Beetles are at a critical saturation point. Homeowners still have 3 weeks to spray and protect their trees. An 8 foot spruce tree, bought and planted today costs $450. Imagine the value of one large pine, or the cost to cut it down. Now scheduling Mountain Pine Beetle spray protection and deep root one-year time-release soil injection fertilization.

Irwin Put pot on the ballot Earlier this month in Hartford, Conn., another altweekly found itself a pot columnist. In launching the column, the Hartford Advocate’s editor wrote, “We notice that it seems like every third person is getting busted for having weed in their car or smoking up in public. Lawmakers in many states are pushing to legalize marijuana, in some cases to solve major budget problems, or at least to deter the menace of the Mexican drug trade. And pot is thought to be America’s biggest cash crop, despite the ongoing war on drugs.” In this very paper, we’ve reported on major marijuana busts along I-80, which officials say is a corridor from the West Coast, and not to anyone’s surprise – that’s what makes the classification of marijuana as a schedule one narcotic, the highest level possible, so ridiculous. From Kentucky to Oregon, marijuana is a cash crop with effects no more detrimental than alcohol, which can be regulated and taxed like alcohol. Single If enough states and cities legalize marijuana, the federal government will be forced to comply – in theory. Let’s test this theory here in liberal-as-wealthylandowners-can-be Jackson – in “free” Wyoming. We can’t let Idaho be more progressive about individual choice. In Hailey, near Sun Valley, It was easy to scoff at patchouli-stankin,’ navel-gazin’ Boulder, but Idaho? the mayor recently told the Idaho Statesman that marijuana plants on private property would be the lowest priority for that city’s police. And his comments were in response to Sun Valley residents recently voting to allow medical marijuana and industrial hemp. Really? Sun Valley, that halfAspen, Jackson Hole wannabe provides more individual liberty than the whole state of Wyoming? I mean, it was easy to scoff at patchouli-stankin,’ Track navel-gazin’ Boulder, but Idaho? Are we gonna let Idaho call us a bunch of half-steppin’ liberals and libertarians? Sure, I’m co-opting slang (especially the idea of liberty as selfindulgent autonomy), but to a purpose: this issue affects many Americans. Marijuana use is a “victimless crime,” and people with wide and varied circumstances and beliefs smoke pot. The majority of those I know are ambitious, creative and even, like, proper and shit. Some illegal drugs are bad. Meth is bad, the worst I’ve ever seen, in terms of its ability to negatively transform individuals into animals. But the evidence against marijuana is suggestive at best, hyperbolic at worst. Let the people of Jackson decide. Let us decide to put it on the ballot, or not; let us decide to make it legal, or not. And if it is “illegal” for the town to put it on the ballot, a fight in the courts might be just the attention the issue needs. Put marijuana on the town’s ballot. JHW There are times when I cannot help myself but to question the mentality of human authority. One of such said times is the recent fatal mauling of a seventy year old man while hiking in grizzly bear country on the outskirts of Yellowstone Park, resulting in the bear’s immediate execution. It is through my belief of common reason that the justice of man has no applicable jurisdiction over the state of nature. This particularly unfortunate bear had been previously tampered with by so called “bear officials” involving its entrapment and tranquilization. The ensuing events led these officials to believe that the perpetrator of the crime was the very same bear. The following forensic D.N.A. results proved validity to the prosecutions charge, resulting in the immediate execution of the guilty party. Yet, in mans presumed judgment, where was this bears trial, defense attorney and jury? This barbaricaly archaic eye for an eye policy that man yet applies to the natural world is beyond my comprehension. It would appear, were humanity to possess the power, that he would even punish the skies for delivering the devastation of a tornado. The injustice of mans’ justice has no rightful position in the arena of natural order. – Patrik Troiani, Jackson Correction Last week in a news brief [“Dems name Herz acting chair,” June 16] JH Weekly incorrectly described the bylaws of the Wyoming Democratic Party. The bylaws state that the vice chair must fill the duties of the chair’s absence if the chair should run for office, but do not require the chair to take an official leave of absence.

Luckily, hundreds of volunteers have been working hard to make the trails better for all of us. The Teton Freedom Riders are currently working on the Fuzzy Bunny Trail up on the pass. Naturally, you can expect some sweet upgrades from them. If you have been riding in Teton Valley you may have noticed some huge improvements on Mahogany Creek Trail, thanks to the Teton Valley Trails and Pathways. Also, the Forest Service is working on Game Creek and Josie’s Ridge. The Game Creek downhill from just west of the divide is being rerouted to have more flow, less rutted and more fun. And Josie’s is getting renovated for some future bike use. The Cache to Game Creek Race has moved to Wednesday July 7th due to weather. Don’t miss out because it will be a great chance to see the new improvements on the trail! And remember, the trails aren’t going anywhere, and it takes a lot of hard work to get them the way they are. If you see mud on the trail it is OK to walk your bike.

Served on the Natrona co. school board, the Wyoming state legislature, and in the Geringer administration as the director of the state department of revenue. Maybe this is where the trouble started; working for Geringer, she was responsible for, among other things, collecting state mineral royalties. But I have heard nothing about shortgages, bribery or sex romps in Cheyenne during Gov. Jim’s reign. Just the same, this is little worse than Ben Cannon not knowing an “aid” from an “aide” and further proves the point made here last week that the Planet needs a little editorial kick in the pants. ■ I truth I had not heard of Johnnie Burton before; I did research for my column but somehow missed that Johnnie Burton is a woman.

If JH Weekly would cover things besides theater, (seven articles in five weeks) exhausting all possible adjectives for critique, I would not have to write about Glenn Beck’s visit to Teton Valley over the July 4th weekend. While the FDR’s and Reagan’s, the John Kennedy’s and Churchill’s have drawn people together in times of uncertainty, hate preachers like Beck instill distrust and suspicion between countrymen; but Beck’s incendiary words are nothing new. They echo in the voice of inquisitionists who burned alive those who claimed the Earth circled the sun, enraged a country into such patriotic frenzy that otherwise respectable people rounded up Jews to be killed and suffered no moral qualms, and they can be heard in Africa, in Pakistan and Iraq, inciting teenagers to strap bombs to their chest and kill in retribution for vague crimes or promises of heavenly virgins. Bill Ayers’ recent visit to Wyoming proves liberals have idiots as well. An obscure college professor whose works are published in incomprehensible academic journals, read by few, understood by less, and influencing none, Ayers is not glorified by his contemporaries, merely tolerated. What’s disturbing is some real conservatives perceive Beck, a pretentious blowhard, as a wise sage. For decades conservatives have counterbalanced liberal ideals and passion for justice with hardnosed practicality and love of liberty, a balance that has served our country well. But recently many conservatives have peddled their honor for thirty pieces of silver, for rage packaged and sold by pundits, pumped into their veins like heroin, eating away all that is noble and good in their cause until nothing is left but an empty shell of anger, destroying not only their individual dignity but depriving America of conservative common sense and principle when it’s needed. Of all people, conservatives should know, you reap what you sow.

To me it is purely a matter of public service not politics. My local experience spans 30 years, working and raising a family in Jackson Hole. Here are some of my basic public policy positions: PLANNING PROCESS The Teton County planning process should be more “user friendly” for homeowners, small landowners, contractors, small businesses. Less burdensome and bureaucratic for locals, in terms of hassles, expenses and delays. At the same time, the process should be very strict for the bigger players (developers), who have far more potential impact on Jackson Hole and can afford to hire all the right people. I would also like to see a simplification of our Teton County comprehensive plan, where our vital community character is protected against aggressive development forces but the plan is more understandable and less burdensome for Jackson Hole locals. The current plan revision process is very complex, and it has been going on for over 3 years with little end in sight. That is wrong. NEIGHBORHOODS We need to be more protective of both old and new Jackson Hole neighborhoods, which are the real core of our community. All too often, ivory tower “planner think” people and development pressures create unfair disruption and uncertainties for local neighborhoods. We are not an urban community, and many of us do not want Jackson Hole urbanized. CONSERVATION I am an old-fashioned conservative, where conservation of our resources is part of the word conservative. There is no finer example than Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican conservative who was the greatest conservationist in our Nation’s history. A strong individual with absolute integrity, who always heeded the need for checks and balances in controlling the influence of money and power. So what do those goals mean on a local level? I am dedicated to the conservation and preservation of: - Our friendly small town character. Our wide open spaces and wildlife, which are such a critical part of the Jackson Hole we love, and the Jackson Hole millions of visitors love. We need strong and creative local leadership to protect these vital resources on a fair basis. I will do my very best, and this commitment comes from the heart. FISCAL OVERSIGHT This is not an easy time for the County, with major financial problems which may well continue for quite a while. I believe there was too little strict fiscal oversight in the past, during flush times with vastly increased tax revenues. That revenue stream has crashed, but many expenses from the boom years remain. Unlike the Federal government, Teton County cannot print money or tax or borrow to cover our operating expenses. I will take a tough, hard look at expenses with real fiscal discipline, while being fair. PUBLIC SAFETY Among other public safety issues, I strongly support a better and safer pathways system, which is an important part of our alternate transportation system and our recreational base here in Jackson Hole.

SmithBatchen just completed her Running Hope Through America challenge to raise money for the charity AIDS Orphans Rising, which helps children who lost parents to AIDS. Smith-Batchen’s run began April 19 in Morris Township, New Jersey where the Daily Record was interested enough to follow her journey through all 50 states in 61 days. At 50 miles per state, Smith-Batchen covered 2,500 miles of America, often outpacing touring RVs. Along the way, Smith-Batchen received coverage from local newspapers, national television and the Web site www.runhope.com. She finished up the run last Friday, arriving exhausted but elated at her hometown of Driggs. Smith-Batchen has run the Badwater Ultramarathon in California’s Death Valley four times and in 1997 set the women’s record of 37 hours and 1 minute. Chicago-style JH vacation Frank Main brought back Jackson Hole souvenirs to Chicago – blisters, bumps and bruises – and, boy, did he have fun. Flockhart and Ford tie knot. The Chicago Sun Times staff reporter caught readers up with his early summer vacation exploits. Main managed to land eight cutties thanks to guide Levi Doria of WorldCast Anglers. A round of golf then blistered his hands and by the time he jumped on a mountain bike with guide Tim “Dippy” Dipple, Main was ready for another vacation. Main managed to ‘endo’ on Peaked’s Sidewinder Trail, cutting up his leg. His travelling buddy, Ted Alvarez of Backpacker Magazine, also crashed and burned. Main titled his article, “Man up in Wyoming.” Ranch life for wannabes “George W. Bush has one. So do Tom Brokaw, T. Boone Pickens, Ralph Lauren and Julia Roberts. Kevin Costner has two, Ted Turner has more than a dozen. When is [sic] comes to ranches, lots of people want one,” wrote Larry Olmstead in the USA Today Travel section last weekend. Sotheby broker John Resor told USA Today: “To buy a real working ranch today is a huge expense and a huge challenge, but by buying into a place like Shooting Star, you can still enjoy the ambience and experience and be ensconced in the ranch lifestyle — without having to own it all.” USA Today said second-home ranchette lifestyle was particularly appealing to families, cowboys at heart, and fly-fishing junkies. They did warn, however, of the drawback which included neighbors too close for comfort and less cachet for you if your jetset crowd finds out you couldn’t afford your own spread.

Death in the wild Grizzly victim had strong opinions about land management. By Ben Cannon Wildlife officials say very little is known about the grizzly bear that killed a part-time Wyoming resident last week. Authorities are awaiting the results of a DNA test to conclusively link the male grizzly that bear researches captured hours before it killed 70year-old Erwin Frank Evert. The results of a pending autopsy will reveal information like the exact age of the bear, though officials believe it is an adult about 10 years old. But many questions remain, and officials say the only person who knew exactly what happened that day will never have a chance to speak. Evert, of Park Ridge, Ill., was mauled to death while hiking in the Kitty Creek Drainage area about 10 miles east of Yellowstone National Park. Evert’s body was found only about two miles from the cabin he and his wife have returned to every spring for the last 40 years, according to Park County Sheriff Scott Steward. “He was very familiar with the area,” Steward said. The Evert’s cabin is one of about 30 to 40 cabins in the Shoshone National Forest between Yellowstone and Cody. Evert was a familiar face around the small but tight-knit wilderness community of seasonal residents of the Kitty Creek area, home to about eight to 10 cabins. An avid outdoorsman who preferred to spend most of his days trekking through the woods near his part-time home, Evert was less known around Cody, about 40 miles to the east, where he occasionally drove to shop for 10 June 16 - 22, 2010 groceries and other supplies. Evert, a botanist who once published a book, had strong opinions about the way public forest lands are managed, Steward said. The Park County sheriff had come to know the victim from an annual summer picnic attended by cabin owners and some public officials. “In this particular case we may never know the details of exactly what happened and why.” - Chuck Schwartz “He was critical of management of the forest,” Steward said. “He was always critical about [how officials handle] beetle kill and controlled burns and always offered his professional opinion. But he was by no means a troublemaker.” Early leads in the investigation indicate Evert knew that wildlife officials had been in the area trapping and sedating grizzlies in order to tag and fit them with a radio collar. Evert told friends that he had been backcountry hiking near the trapping sites, which are routinely marked with warning signs to keep people away. Some friends cautioned him not to return. “He was warned not to go back,” said Chris Servheen, grizzly bear coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It’s not clear why Evert decided to return to the grizzly trapping area on the afternoon of June 17, the day he would experience a fatal encounter in the wild. Evert’s body was discovered by a member of the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team, who encountered a worried Yolanda Evert, Erwin’s wife, who began searching for her husband after he didn’t return from an afternoon hike. The bear researcher came upon the body at the site where the team earlier in the day had captured and released bear 646, its most recent grizzly. Officials later tracked the bear by its radio signal and shot and killed it from a helicopter. 646 was unknown to authorities before it was trapped, sedated, fit with a radio collar, and ear-tagged with its identification number. Grizzly researches have marked bears this way for more than three decades, and before Evert, no one had ever been killed or seriously injured during or after the trapping process. Evert’s is the first grizzly death in the Yellowstone area in 25 or 30 years. “It’s been so long ago that it’s historical at this point,” Servheen said, explaining that the last fatal grizzly bear encounter dates far back enough that the year and victim’s name are no longer at the fingertips of bear researchers. While investigators work to piece together all the events leading up to Evert’s death, one top official said the tragedy may always be shrouded in an element of the unknown. “In this particular case we may never know the details of exactly what happened and why,” said Chuck Schwartz, who leads the Interagecy Grizzly Bear Study Team. “There was only one person there and that was Mr. Evert.” JHW l JH Weekly l www.JHweekly.com updated daily MARY GROSSMAN The owner of Cafe Ponza, the late night pizzeria that has been plagued by trouble with the IRS and a lawsuit, said the business will remain open through the summer and possibly longer. Alex Lehnen, a.k.a. Alex von Salad, said he has been approved for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection, allowing him to stay in business as long as his case moves through the bankruptcy system, which can take many Alex Von Salad months “Bankruptcy can be a lengthy process,” Lehnen said. In early June, Lehnen was served eviciton papers by his landlord, Pink Garter LLC, which justified the move by citing an IRS tax lien as well as a lawsuit against Lehnen brought by former landlord Bruce Egan over a loan that was never repaid. Last week, dozens of friends of Ponza held a party at another downtown restaurant to show support for the embattled pizzeria and its owner, a controversial figure known for making over-the-top statements with European flair. At the party, Lehnen handed out free stickers that ridiculously equated his current landlords to a certain global petroleum company now synonymous with trouble in the Gulf of Mexico. The party only raised about $100, Lehnen said, but morale was boosted to a greater degree. “A lot of people came out to support and manifest Cafe Ponza and what it was meant to do,” Lehnen said. Pink Garter LLC representatives were not contacted for this story. GTNP names chief ranger Grand Teton National Park has a new deputy chief ranger. National Parks Service veteran Michael Nash was recently named to the post, a park spokeswoman said. Nash will replace Andy Fisher, who retired as deputy chief ranger in April. Nash comes to Grand Teton from Grand Canyon National Park, where he was deputy chief ranger. As chief ranger, Nash will be responsible for the park’s Division of Visitor and Resource Protection, the department that oversees ranger activities, fire and aviation management, the Teton Interagency Dispatch Center, and the fee and revenue program. That division also performs a range of public safety and service functions, including law enforcement, search and rescue, emergency medical services, and resource protection. An Ohio native, Nash began his Park Service career in 1992 at Acadia NaMichael Nash tional Park in Maine.

The announcements, which tend to begin at the earliest sign of warmth, usually appear in the intro to some column, blog post or newsletter. The problem is that people begin stating ‘yes, summer has arrived!’ as early as May, or even the first half of June, when the proclamation is usually followed by days or weeks of chilly, wet weather that is decidedly spring-like. One marketing type even proclaimed that summer was “officially here” at least three or four weeks before the summer solstice, the day summer “officially” began. Alas, even we are guilty of this faux pas: some of our own columnists have a habit of prematurely announcing summer’s arrival. Having said all that, summer is officially here! Herewith, we bring to you our inaugural JH Weekly Summer Guide, a pull-out section which you can actually save. Inside you’ll find information about all sorts of outdoor activities, cultural events, miscellaneous summer events, and even a bit about where to find Aaron Wallis, the controversial art world figure who has a murky connection to a mysterious playboy named Johnny Ocean. The days only get shorter from here, and may the summer continue to unlock worlds of possibility. – Ben Cannon Matthew Irwin fishing the Snake by Aaron Davis from SUMMER GUIDE page 11 2,600 miles of fishY water It had almost become urban legend before experiencing it firsthand. “There are several high alpine lakes in Grand Teton National Park that sustain a healthy and willing population of native cutthroat trout,” a Teton Park ranger once told me. “They rarely get fished.” I scoured the topo map and picked out a lake. My overnight pack was around 60 pounds. The constant elevation gain was grueling, but the payoff was majestic and ridiculously fruitful. Pristine and off the beaten path, the catching came easy at this particular glacial lake, which made the hike back down to the valley all smiles. One of the many benefits of fishing in the Yellowstone Ecosystem (28,000 square miles) is the mind-blowing amount of accessible fishing water (2,600 miles in Yellowstone Park alone). If you maintain the thought that fishing doesn’t always mean catching— even if you drop hundreds of dollars for a guide—you’re bound to look beyond the rod tip and enjoy the moment. – Aaron Davis t t COURTESY MAD RIVER Wyoming Fish and Game 420 N.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a local with a day off or a tourist looking for the best way to spend a day in Jackson Hole. To first-timers, I always recommend an early morning scenic float of Deadman’s Bar to Moose on the Snake River. It’s arguably the most beautiful stretch of commercial river in all of the National Parks. If it leaves you jones-ing for more, hit the whitewater section in Snake River Canyon in the afternoon. For locals and returning floaters, you may want more solitude. Consider renting a canoe and taking it to one of the following: Lower Slide Lake in the Gros Ventre Mountains, Jenny Lake and String Lake in Grand Teton Park, Teton River in Teton Valley, or the Salt River near Alpine. For tubing adventure, try South Park Bridge to the Hoback stretch of the Snake. Keep in mind that most sections of the Snake require expert navigation. And while lakes are generally safer, keep an eye on the afternoon wind forecast and you’ll need a non-motorized boat permit ($20) for the national parks. A hard boat like a touring kayak is perfect for exploring one of several lakes in Grand Teton National Park where boating is allowed. A favorite summertime activity among many of the young locals involves taking tire inter-tubes down Flat Creek, flowing right through the heart of Jackson. – Aaron Davis (with Ben Cannon) t J W J A.J.

I took him out to Boulder City in Grand Teton National Park, where I attempted to demonstrate the heightened nuance of the moves and thrill of topping out. In my eagerness, I ignored that it was raining lightly, and the rock was slick. When the sticky rubber soles hit the top of the rock, they slid right off and so did I, 15 feet or so to the bottom. My buddy luckily saw me coming and batted me towards the crash pad. I sprained my wrist and bloodied my knee in the fall, then said, “Some other time, then.” – Matthew Irwin HIT THE TRAILS Join us Wednesday nights at the Grand Teton Music Festival for an eclectic series of concerts from jazz to bluegrass and beyond!

Deloney, 733-6094 Sports Authority 455 W. Broadway, 733-4449 WHERE WILL THE MUSIC TAKE YOU? HEN Always a runner but never entirely dedicated, when I began trail running, something changed. Instead of stomping my feet on unforgiving pavement and huffing car exhaust, I was hopping streams, dodging rocks and roots, soaking in smells of sagebrush and wildflowers, and rendezvousing with wildlife. While running in Cache Canyon, on more than one occasion, I have arrived within several feet of a mother and baby moose whose sheer presence I felt moments before approaching them. And during a run through Lupine Meadows, I saw my first bear. These moments are humbling; soul quenching and distracting from the painful glory of running long distances. Trail running takes what can sometimes become a mundane activity and involves a more colorful playing field. Breathtaking views, total serenity and a sense of oneness with nature are just a few of the tools provided that can push you to your eighth, ninth and tenth miles. Finding a new trail to conquer each day, set back in the woods away from the valley’s summer congestion, keeps trail running exciting and meditative while the cardiovascular benefits - as well as improved balance, coordination and endurance - make this a worthwhile endeavor for the body and the mind. And the sport is easy for just about anyone to pick up. All you need to get started is a pair of trail running shoes, patience and, for some, the will to go further and steeper. – Robyn Vincent Outside the classical box.

With the exception of AA meetings just about any social activity in Jackson involves drinking, and boy can people here hold their liquor. With more police per capita than North Korea, and only two roads out of town, the cards are marked and the deck is stacked. So use the threat of a DUI as an excuse to crash on a friend’s couch, and maybe cop a feel. But first get warmed up at one of my favorite local watering holes. ■ Thai Me Up’s IPAs are on par with the best West Coast micro brews. If you want to be stuck in a monogamous relationship with the other brewery in town that’s cool. But I’ll tell you what; the head and the hops are better on the East Side. ■ Well, it’s kind of small and crowded, but that makes me feel like I am in a real city. And if I am going to pay for an expensive drink, I expect there to be alcohol in it. That’s why I go to Koshu. ■ Two-for-one, that should be illegal. But it’s not at the Cadillac Grille, though after 10-for-five I might just go home with a fat girl, if there were any in Jackson. ■ If your roommate or family member did not come home last night, odds are you can find them at Teton County Jail. – Aaron Wallis Thai Me Up 75 E Pearl St., 733-0005 Koshu Wine Bar 200 West Broadway, 733-5283 The Caddie 55 N.

On the stage ZAC ROSSER Last summer, I was privileged to be part of Off Square Theatre’s production of Petticoat Rules, and I’m excited to see that it’s returning again this summer. Favored by locals and visitors alike, the musical is an entertaining and oft comedic history of Jackson Hole’s first ever all-women’s town council. The performance will be gracing the Center for the Arts stage and will be produced in repertory with Always…Patsy Cline, also produced by Off Square. Filled with 27 of Cline’s greatest hits, the musical is a delight for both fans and newcomers. The Jackson Hole Playhouse is back in action with pistols cocked and rifles loaded as Annie Get Your Gun returns to an iconic, local theater. The classic musical about Annie Oakley and her gun-slinging beau, Frank Butler, is a high-energy romp filled with familiar tunes and quirky choreography. Don’t forget to catch the pre-show in the lobby before each performance. The valley’s “community conscious” theater company, Riot Act Inc., will also likely host a performance of The Bogeyman, an original production pulling from just about every artform and from within the area’s talent pool. Off Square’s acting classes are pumping out more young talent every year with the “Legends of the Wild West” and “Kings, Queens and Castles” performance camps. The Laff Staff improv comedy troupe is also offering free open sessions throughout the summer. Housing a professional dance company and a junior repertoire dance troupe, Dancers' Workshop also brings the world's finest dance organization to the valley, including The Chamber Ensemble of New York City Ballet, which will be in residence at DW, August 2 to 7. NYC Ballet will hold open rehearsals, master classes and three performances over the week.

COURTESY OF COURTESY DANCERS’ WORKSHOP ers even Laff Staff play No matter what style or pace of cycling you prefer, Jackson Hole is a cyclist’s paradise. There are mountain bike trails to entertain riders of any experience level, from the family of beginners looking for a leisurely tour to pros who like to flirt with bodily injury. For road warriors, the vistas, open space and relative flatness of the valley floor make this an ideal destination for biking. A new bicycle pathway that begins at the Moose entrance into Grand Teton National Park, resplendent with up-close views of the dramatic Tetons, promises to make the park one of the most desirable biking routes in the country. It can also be a lot of fun to just hop on a cruiser, even an old Scwhinn, and check out all that Jackson the town has to offer. A number of friendly bike shops staffed by world-class mechanics and fitters can either tune-up your old set of wheels or put you on a new one. All of the following shops offer rentals of bikes equipped with the latest technology. To go from there, simply ask someone with the shop to point you in the right direction. – Ben Cannon ski resorts during summer Grand Targhee and Jackson Hole ski resorts are action packed for the summer, with ski lifts specially rigged to hoist mountain bikes to the top and beyond – depending on when the snow melts!

The 15th annual WYDAHO Bike Race is on July 3, first in the Targhee Downhill Series/Race 1 on July 25 and the Grand Targhee Disc Golf Tournament on July 31. Events continue into September. Jackson Hole’s Teewinot Quad chairlift opened June 19 for mountain bikers. It will remain open until mid September with bike rentals extended to the end of the month.

Nonprofits in the Center, such as the Art Association, Teton Artlab and Center of Wonder, engage local, up-and-coming artists as teachers and exhibitors. The Center of Wonder also leads the area’s public art initiative. Contemporary galleries like Alta Mira, Heather James, Tayloe Piggott and CIAO have also cropped up over the last decade, bringing new views and ideas to the region’s long-established collection of wildlife and Western art. For the more traditional fine arts, check out Astoria Fine Arts, Trailside Gallery (which carries local plein air legend Greg McHuron) and Images of Nature (home gallery to photographer Tom Mangelsen). Trio Fine Art also has a regular collection of regional artists. Galleries will have openings throughout the summer, but look out in particular for art fairs, as well as First Friday and Third Thursday art walks, when local art lovers and socialites hit the streets. – Matthew Irwin For a complete list of area art galleries, see our regular gallery listings on page 24. ry on of Lines Galle r, and Tim Cann ne ow n, so en ev Tarley St see SUMMER GUIDE page 18 www.jacksonholefarmersmarket.org www.JHweekly.com updated daily l JH Weekly l June 23 - 29, 2010 17 from SUMMER GUIDE page 15 BEST OF THE REST Summer reading For those who don’t want to spend money to enjoy themselves this summer, Teton County Library is offering a wide variety of free events and clubs.

Perhaps you have a manuscript you’ve been working on for years, or an idea for a novel that is still in the brewing process. No matter your penchant for the written word, this weekend is a godsend for Jacksonites infused with the desire to put pen to paper. Jumpstarting the celebrated Jackson Hole Writers Conference, published novelists Lise McClendon and Deborah Turrell Atkinson are hosting “Truly Richly Deeply,” a writing workshop for fiction writers who hope to flesh out their novels in progress. In its 18th year of operation, the conference attracts a wide variety of amateur writers hoping to learn from the best in the business. While previous years included big names in fiction like Jane Hamilton, Christopher Moore, and Elizabeth George, this year’s fare showcases big names like White Oleander author Janet Fitch, and Louis Bayard, writer of The Pale Blue Eye. Among many others, local novelists such as Tina Welling, John Byrne Cook, and Kyle Mills will also be in attendance. While fiction is the most popular track taken by attendees, rest assured that there are also opportunities for poets, memoirists and nonfiction writers. During the conference itself, various workshops will be offered including a graphic novel workshop hosted by novelist Tiffanie DeBartolo. Attendees are allowed to attend any workshop regardless of their track. But the main draw is the ability to submit 15 pages of material for critique by the professionals who will offer feedback in oneon-one sessions. Literary agents and editors will also be in attendance in hopes of seeking out SUSAN MARSH By Andrew Munz ★ THIS WEEKS PICKS Wednesday 6.23 COMMUNITY David Kornblum performing cowboy poetry in front of patrons. new talent, and offering advice on how to make it as a small fish in the enormous ocean that is publishing. Although the four-day conference concludes on Sunday with a book signing in the Center for the Arts lobby, faculty member Nicole Burdick continues the fun with the “Seeing Like A Writer” creative camp aimed towards kids, grades six to nine. The five-day workshop, operating with the Art Association, allows young participants to experience the world from a writer’s point of view. “Kiddos are thinking critically yet they still have some of that pure imagination and openmindedness intact to really explore the way they look at the world,” Burdick said. JH Writers Conference is today through July 2. Conference: $385. Seeing Like a Writer: $220 ($195 for Art Association members), Center for the Arts. 413-3332. GOOD EATS Reel good wine Slow sips, comrade Maynard James Keenan may be best known for his belting vocals for the band Tool, but his biggest talent may be best enjoyed with a hunk of gruyere and a slice of pear. Rock music is his career, but winemaking is his passion as seen in the documentary Blood Into Wine, showing this weekend at the Pink Garter Theater. “We’re not chasing the market, we’re making wines that we love to make,” said Eric Glomski in the film’s trailer. Glomski is Keenan’s partner at Stronghold Vineyards in Arizona. The fastpaced, entertaining doc also features appearances by Milla Jovovich, Juliette Lewis and Elijah Wood, and will detail the winemaking process from a less stuffy, tricked-out perspective. Before each screening, a wine tasting will commence at the newly installed bar area in front of the theater’s entrance. One glass of wine will be included in the ticket price. This will be the first major event at the newly managed Pink Garter, and owner Dom Gagliardi can’t wait to see how it goes. “I think there’s a large fan base of the band here, and there’s a great wine community in Jackson,” he said. Blood Into Wine is 7 p.m. for the wine tasting, 8 p.m. for the screening, Thursday through Saturday. Pink Garter Theater. $10. www.bloodintowine.com. The minds behind the JH Vertical Harvest greenhouse project will be hosting a vodka tasting this Friday at the Lotus Café. Vodkas, such as 44 North’s Huckleberry and Teton Glacier, will be paired with a selection of scrumptious appetizers. Vodka pairing is 5:30 to 9 p.m., Thursday, at Lotus Café. $10 to $15. 734-0882. Make room for Annie THEATER Annie Get Your Gun, Jackson Hole Playhouse’s summer production, is a musical about clashing egos in a time of big egos with guns. The star of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, Frank Butler (Cody Walker) hasn’t met anyone who can match his shooting ability until a stop in Cincinnati pits him against local sure-shot, Annie Oakley (Savanna Garnick). Annie falls in love, but Frank tells her he likes soft women, in the song “The Girl That I Marry.” Buffalo Bill welcomes Annie to the show, where she challenges Frank’s manhood, by being a better shot, and attempts to win his affection, by acting as his humble assistant. Annie Get Your Gun could be viewed through a feminist critique of Annie’s internal struggle to choose between a man’s ego and her ability to succeed, but it can also be viewed through Frank’s struggle with masculine identity in the face of a strong woman. Frank is handsome, rugged and confident. When he opens his mouth to sing, however, out comes a lovely operatic tone – which not only suits his character’s swagger, but also suggests his latent tenderness. The talent, however, isn’t the problem with the playhouse’s production of the Irving Berlin classic – the venue is. In the opening number (“There’s No Business Like Show Business”), a cast of more than 10 dances right against the walls, and the ceiling practically obstructs the stage. The sound has a tin-can hollowness that seemed delayed at times, and I could hardly hear some actors unless they stood next to others who were miked. Not to mention, the curtains are getting a little worn. Without renovations in sound and stage, Annie Get Your Gun is just too big for the playhouse’s britches. It makes a cast of skilled young actors look like they’re performing for their parents in a suburban basement. – Matthew Irwin Annie Get Your Gun shows 8 p.m., daily except Sundays, Jackson Hole Playhouse. Dinner available. $19-$52. 733-6994. www.jhplayhouse.com.

This Charlotte-based folk-rock quartet splices acoustic and electric strings with a solid drum and bass rhythm section that never seems over-the-top. There are no crazy effects, no odd time changes, just crafty songwriting and a groove reminiscent of Austin’s Band of Heathens. Immediately recognizable to my ears, the Western North Carolina twang comes through loud and clear when discussing life on the road with drummer Daniel Flynn. He joined the band nearly three years ago and speaks of the taxing lifestyle of paying dues in an independent music world. “It’s not as glamorous as it’s made out to be, but it’s like a good drug and you want more of it,” Flynn said of all the little things that sum up life in an unsigned touring band. “Honestly, a lot of it sucks. Then, we get on “It’s not as glamorous as it’s made out to be, but it’s like a good drug and you want more of it.” - Daniel Flynn stage, and the two hours of playing makes everything worth it.” The New Familiars have certainly paid some dues. The duo of Justin Daniel (vocals, resonator guitar) and Justin Fedor (vocals, guitar, mandolin, banjo) stirred a buzz in the local Char- lotte scene before shuffling through a few different band members. The band has released two EPs—The Black Rose and The Storm—as well as a vinyl single, “Mills River/My Girl,” and is currently touring in support of a 30-minute live album recorded on August 1, 2009 at The Neighborhood Theatre in Charlotte. The band’s forthcoming studio release, Between The Moon & The Morning Light, which has spent some time on the backburner, exemplifies a neighborly influence of The Avett Brothers more than Appalachian roots, as The Familiar’s bio suggests. A trolling banjo over edgy bottleneck riffs, anthemic choruses, and a less-is-more approach leans more towards melody than ripping solos. As for making it available to consumers, great care is being taken. “From the time we started recording the album, some band members changed, so it has taken a while to get the sound we were going for,” Flynn said. “It’s ready to be released, but we have new management that we’re really excited about, so we are shopping it around [to indie labels].” Though this will be the band’s first full-length studio album with the current band members, it has done well for itself by keeping a steady tour pace. After spending quality time in the Rockies, the Midwest, and Texas, it will perform on World Café Live as well as three days at the high profile Bristol Rhythm and Roots Festival. Be there for the band’s first Wyoming show. JHW What’s Good Here? Productions presents The New Familiars, 10 p.m., Wednesday at Town Square Tavern. $5.

This will mark the first time the American hardcore punk rock icon has ever visited Jackson Hole, and it also possibly marks a first for Jackson Hole itself, which isn’t known for associations of any kind with former punk rock icons. In an exclusive interview, the former singer of the seminal hardcore punk band Black Flag, a man once known for getting into fist-fights with audience members, discusses his more recent turn as an essayist of the spoken word. JH Weekly: People want to know, what exactly does Henry Rollins do on stage these days?

It’s an interesting time in the world, with this real disaster that we’ve got in the Gulf that’s going to affect the entire world. The fact that we’ve got a nonwhite president makes things “My schtick is to walk the streets and meet people.” - Henry Rollins pretty interesting. So all of that comes into play. There’s a lot of tales about traveling, for sure. JH: What’s your traveling schtick? HR: Well, my schtick is to walk the streets and meet people and take a lot of photographs. I walk down sreets, along rivers, next to railroad tracks, into slums, into graveyards and try and see what people are going through. JHW: How do you interpret that into the show?

I said, ‘Led Zeppelin,’ and he went ‘huh?’ He has no idea what he’s wearing. It’s just interesing to see how we manifest ourselves, and how globalization manifests itself in other parts of the world. Basically how we wash up on shore. JHW: Do you do a lot of editorializing? HR: Going to a place for a week doesn‘t really make you any kind of real expert, and it’s really not any time to connect to the culture. But yeah, you can do some editorializing, but you’re definitely coming at it with a Western value system.

JHW: You’re looking at 50 and are a self-described ‘aging alternative icon.’ What’s the older Henry Rollins know? HR: More laps around the track. You get to see more things. As an older person, I’ve become less self-involved. With youth you’re a bit precious about things – it’s ‘me, me, me.’ As an older person, and seeing what I’ve seen, it’s more of a ‘we, we, we’ situation. Also, I’m a bit more patient. You can come at things from a broader perspective. JHW: Do you feel as focused and intense as ever? HR: Yeah, actually I’m able to focus more. You realy realize what you need to get done and how much time you have to do it. I get it done and I work with a great deal of vigor. JHW: Does it feel as relevant as ever? HR: I don’t know. I still have an audience. I still do interviews. I feel pretty relevant. JHW Henry Rollins speaks, 8 p.m., tonight, at Center Theater. $27. 733-4900. 180 W. Broadway, 733-9290 Rivertime Designs 98 E.

I was growing quite weary of the drunken ramblings and folksy homespun witticisms of the Four Seasons Bar crowd. With all hope for an evening of cultural significance fading, my eye caught an advertisement for Live Experiments, a contemporary dance performance by Jackson’s Contemporary Dance Wyoming. Mere minutes to showtime, speed was of the essence. My newly rebuilt Aston Martin V-8 made short work of the wet curves on Wilson Road. I arrived at the conclusion of the first dance and slipped into my seat unnoticed. No small feat, for the arrival of an Ocean at any event of social significance often causes a stir among the paparazzi. “The Mechanics of Enlightenment” began, fittingly enough, with a troupe of dancers in blue mechanics’ overalls. Erie fluorescent lights cast a Blade Runner-esque glow across the floor as the dancers embarked on a series of austere and automated gyrations. Like much of the postmodern sensibility in modern dance, the piece embraced the nonlinear dichotomy of literary deconstruction. The dancers sprung across the stage like cybertronic sirens, intently and inexorably driven towards an anti-climax. I say Bravo! It was a bold stroke against the repressive confines of the classical movement and ultimately a reaffirmation of amorphous gender roles. The next few performances, such as “Boom Boom,” were a pleasing swirl of color, sound and motion. Intermission arrived and I retired to the lobby for a long overdue libation. I must say the Center for The Arts’ wine selection was an affront to the sensibilities of any refined palette. Forced to choose between a cabernet and a merlot, I chose the former – barbaric concoction with not so subtle undertones of battery acid, cough syrup, drain cleaner and chocolate. The intermission ran its course and a piece, titled “The Cheese Stands Alone,” by Ludwig Dance Theatre began. Though the choreography was of the same exceptional quality, I found the child’s voiceover narrative to be particularly didactic. I also question the use of domestic Swiss in the performance. I feel that a semi-soft cheese would have been a more appropriate choice and I hope that the Ari- ZAC ROSSER An evening of dance Four dancers, but only seven flawless legs? zona-based dance troupe will consider mahon or Port Salut in future performances. The performance concluded with a rousing ode to the body en motion, titled “Come Together.” Dancers clad in rather minimalist skintight black jumpers, strutted to the beat of “St Germain.” Knowing Wyoming all too well, I fear that my adulation for the postmodern will encourage few people to attend a Dancers’ Workshop performance, and might actually hurt attendance. But if I say that “with eight dancers on stage there were 16 flawless legs in action,” it might encourage some of the less cultured to attend a performance. Alas, we are all ultimately a product of our era of objectification. And I laude Dancers’ Workshop for successfully deconstructing the object through motion. I found myself inspired, to attend one of Dancers’ Workshop’s ongoing summer dance classes. And I exhort the residents of Jackson not to waste their summer in idle frolicking, but to appreciate and participate in the performing arts. JHW Johnny Ocean is … well … columnist and local artist Aaron Wallis.

Milkshakes and futbol By Tyler Alford My dad introduced me to the ‘black-and-white’ milkshake. He used to order them on hot Mississippi afternoons from the Crystal in Greenwood, Miss. The blackand-white is one of those special culinary items that you think believe won’t be as good as you remember it. On a chill summer afternoon, I invited a friend to join me at Betty Rock Cafe to celebrate his birthday with a quick lunch. We sat at the soda-fountain style bar among a throng of individuals glued to the TV for the France vs. Mexico World Cup match. Betty Rock’s menu is wholesome and simple with salads, hot and cold sandwiches, and wraps. There are no French fries on the menu, no over-the-top fried foods or unnecessary amounts of truffle oil and cheese poured over everything, and you can get two different sizes of Coke in a bottle. Betty Rock is also the first place in town that I have seen to serve cream soda. Soon, I was served what I had really come for: a black-andwhite milkshake. It came in a tall cold pint glass. I let my friend have the “extra” milkshake that came in the metal mixing cup, and dove into the shake, expecting to be mildly disappointed; I was not. The milkshake was every bit as good as I remember from my youth. Made with rich vanilla ice cream, two-percent milk and Monin chocolate sauce, it was thick and creamy, while still thin enough to get through a straw. My friend, who had never had a black-and-white before, was also impressed, saying later that it cured the effects of too many other beverages he had had the night before. Shortly after, our lunch arrived. I had the tuna melt, stacked high with tomato, cheddar cheese and house-made tuna salad, light by design on mayo and seasoning, so that I could enjoy the full flavor of the albacore, complimented by pickle and whole grain mustard. My friend ordered a Greek salad that was large and fresh with healthy portions of feta cheese. We sat there at the bar surrounded by the owners, adults and kids all very enthralled in the soccer game on the television screen. As the second half of the game crept along, the busy and energetic restaurant thinned out, leaving a core group of soccer fans finishing their lunches – missing their mouths, that is, as they tried to keep both eyes on the game. When Mexico scored its first goal, the entire restaurant erupted with cheers. I had been pulling for France up to this point, but was happy to join the underdog’s side. Mexico scored again and everyone around the bar high-fived each other, including the dishwasher who had been invited to come out for his lunch break to watch his home-country’s team play. Betty Rock’s service is quick and and the food is no-frills delicious. It also specializes in vegetarian and gluten-free options, and will now be open for dinner Monday through Saturday.

GTNP trail traffic and conditions By Matthew Irwin All the trails in Grand Teton National Park are looking good, according to a park official; hikers are just going to run into snow eventually, and skiers still have plenty of good lines. “The snow is still supportable for walking,” Park Ranger G.R. Fletcher said. “So if that’s what people like, that’s the way to go.” On Monday, Fletcher said that reports put the snowline between 8,500 and 9,000 feet, with the 9,000 to 10,000 range being snowy, but solid, up to around 11,000 feet, where hikers are experiencing some post-holing. Fletcher didn’t have a firsthand account of the skiing, but said that the last time he thought the snow looked good was Saturday. Anyone venturing past the snowline should consider bringing an ice axe and crampons, in addition to being generally cautious. A fall on snowy slopes could turn dangerous, pretty quickly, he said, and about 10 days ago, a large wet slab avalanche fell in Paintbrush Canyon, causing some destruction to the landscape, but not reaching the trail. “It was a D4, which is almost as big as they get,” Fletcher said. Cascade Canyon, he said, on the west side of Jenny Lake has been popular with visitors, because of the moderate terrain and the boat access, but Open, Hanging and Paintbrush canyons have had little traffic in his recent jaunts. On a recent hike up Garnet – a favorite of Fletcher’s because it accesses most of the big peaks in the Teton Range – he saw 10 to 15 people. “It’s pretty quiet hiking right now,” he said. On the other hand, if visitors want to see moose, Cascade Canyon – lined with meadows and ponds – is almost a sure bet, Fletcher said. The official trail report by Grand Teton National Park, made available to JH Weekly on Monday, said that closures remain for a portion of Two-Ocean Lake trail until August 15 for nesting bald eagles. It also said Jenny Lake trail is snow-free; String Lake is clear but wet and muddy; Taggart Lake Elizabeth Kingwill, is very dry; Lawrence S. Rockefeller Preserve is clear; Cascade Canyon is snowy after the fork; Death Canyon has snow in the upper switchbacks; Garnet Canyon is snowy above the platforms; Granite Canyon is very dry and snow-free to the forks; Paintbrush Canyon is solid with snow a little higher up; and all other trails, particularly up the canyons, have considerable snow cover. “Recent heavy precipitation and warm temperatures have produced unstable snowpack creating high avalanche danger,” the report said. “Warm temperatures and longer days mean that creeks and streams in the Teton canyons are running full. The remaining snow pack can be slushy, creating slippery footing for hikers.” So, like Fletcher said, if you’re into that kind of thing … but if not, GTNP has plenty of dry trails and low traffic right now, so get out.

FREEWILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF JUNE 23, 2010 ARIES (March 21-April 19): A few years ago, a group of artists built a giant bunny out of pink wool on an Italian mountainside. The 200-foot-long effigy will remain there until 2025. There’s a disturbing aspect to this seemingly goofy artifact, however: It has a wound in its side where its guts are spilling out. That’s why I don’t recommend that you travel there and commune with it. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you would definitely benefit from crawling into a fetal position and sucking your thumb while lying in the comfy embrace of a humongous mommy substitute. But you shouldn’t tolerate any tricks or jokes that might limit your ability to sink into total peace and relaxation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1998, I spent three weeks reading The Psychoanalysis of Fire and The Poetics of Reverie, two books by French philosopher Gaston Bachelard. His teachings were so evocative that I filled up two 120-page journals with my notes. To this day, I still refer to them, continuing to draw fresh inspiration from ideas I wasn’t ripe enough to fully understand when I first encountered them. You’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when a similar event could happen for you, Taurus: a supercharged educational opportunity that will fuel you for a long time. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Congrats, Gemini! You have not only weathered your recent phase of relentless novelty; you’ve thrived on the adjustments it demanded of you. I am hereby awarding you with the rare and prestigious title of Change-Lover, which I only bestow upon one of the signs of the zodiac every four years or so. So what’s next on the schedule? The shock of the new will soon subside, giving you a chance to more fully integrate the fresh approaches you’ve been adopting. I suggest you relax your hyper-vigilance and slip into a slower, smoother, more reflective groove. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here are the low-paying jobs I’ve done that I wasn’t very good at: tapping sap from maple trees in Vermont; driving a taxi in North Carolina; toiling as an amusement park ride operator in New Jersey; being a guinea pig for medical experiments in California; digging ditches in South Carolina; and picking olives from trees in the south of France. Do I feel like a failure for being such a mediocre worker and making so little money? No, because although it took me a while, I finally found jobs I was good at, and have been thriving ever since. Why would I judge myself harshly for having trouble doing things that weren’t in sync with my soul’s code? Please apply this line of thinking to yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Each year, Playboy magazine publishes a list of the best colleges to go to if you prefer partying to studying. In its recent rankings, a top spot went to the University of Wisconsin, which was dubbed “the best beer-drinking school in the country.” As a counterpoint to this helpful information, HuffingtonPost.com offered a compendium of the best anti-party schools. Brigham Young got favorable mention since it has a policy forbidding students from drinking, smoking, and having sex. The University of Chicago was also highly regarded, being “the place where fun goes to die.” For the next three weeks, Leo, I recommend that you opt for environments that resemble the latter more than the former. It’s time for you to get way down to business, cull the activities that distract you from your main purpose, and cultivate a hell of a lot of gravitas. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re entering a phase of your long-term cycle when cultivating abundance is an especially smart thing to do. To take maximum advantage, I suggest that you be both extra generous and extra receptive to generosity. Bestow more blessings than usual and put yourself in prime positions to gather in more blessings than usual. I realize that the second half of this assignment might be a challenge. You Virgos often feel more comfortable giving than receiving. But in this case, I must insist that you attend to both equally. The giving part won’t work quite right unless the receiving part is in full bloom. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What have you lost in recent months, Libra? This week begins a phase when will you have the potential to not exactly recover it, but rather to re-create it on a higher level. Maybe a dream that seemed to unravel was simply undergoing a reconfiguration, and now you’re primed to give it a new and better form of expression. Maybe a relationship that went astray was merely dying so it could get resurrected, with more honesty and flexibility this time around. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I’m guessing that you’ve been ushered into a frontier that affords you no recognizable power spot. It probably feels uncomfortable, like you’ve lost the inside track. And now along comes some wise guy — me — who advises you in his little horoscope column that you are exactly where you need to be. He says that this wandering outside the magic circle is pregnant with possibilities that could help you make better use of the magic circle when you get back inside at a later date. I hope you will heed this wise guy and, at least for the moment, resist the temptation to force yourself back into the heart of the action. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There used to be a tradition in Sweden that young women could dream of the person they would ultimately wed if they put seven kinds of flowers beneath their pillows on Midsummer’s Eve. That’s crazy nonsense, of course. Right? Probably. Although I must note that two nights ago I placed a gladiolus, hydrangea, lilac, orchid, snapdragon, tulip, and rose under my pillow, and subsequently dreamed of being visited by the lily-crowned Goddess of Intimacy, who asked me to convey a message to you Sagittarians. She said that if you even just imagine slipping seven flowers under your pillow, you will have a dream about what you should do in order to help your love life evolve to the next stage of its highest potential. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Have you ripened into such a knowledgeable, sophisticated person that you’re hard to surprise? Do you draw conclusions about each new experience by comparing it to what has happened to you in the past? I hope not. I hope you’re ready to be a wide-eyed, open-armed, wild-hearted explorer. I hope you will invite life to blow your mind. In the days to come, your strongest stance will be that of an innocent virgin who anticipates an interesting future. Blessings you can’t imagine will visit you if you’ll excuse yourself from outdated expectations and irrelevant complications. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The notorious Wicked Bible was published in 1631. That wasn’t its original name. It was supposed to be as holy as every Bible. But it contained an error that slipped by the proofreaders’ notice: In the book of Exodus, where the Ten Commandments were listed, the word “not” was excluded from one commandment. What remained, an insult to pious eyes, was “Thou shall commit adultery.” Most of these books were later burned, and the publisher was punished. Be on the lookout for a comparable flap, Aquarius: a small omission that could change the meaning of everything. Ideally, you’ll spot the error and fix it before it spawns a brouhaha. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The plant known as the squirting cucumber has an unusual talent: When the fruit is ripe, it opens up and spits out a rapid-fire stream of seeds that travels a great distance. In the coming weeks, Pisces, you’ll have resemblances to this aggressive fructifier. It’ll be prime time to be proactive about spreading your influence and offering your special gifts. The world is begging you to share your creative spirit, preferably with rapid-fire spurts that travel a great distance.
