May is the wettest month of the year in Jackson, averaging almost two inches of precipitation. May also has the distinction of holding the record
for the most precipitation in one month, 6.02 inches officially, in May of 1980. Rainfall like that makes for a healthy mud season, and numbers
like these also rightly give our traditional Memorial Day Weekend festivities the nickname, “Old Wet Days”, a.k.a. Old West Days.

When the high is only 50-degrees, along with a few flakes of snow in the
air, like it was on Mother’s Day, it is hard to imagine what 80-degrees might
feel like. Short of travelling to the tropics, we occasionally reach into the
80’s in Jackson mid-May. Record high this week, officially, is 83 degrees,
which happened back on May 19, 1954. That means you would have to be
over 60 years old to remember that. It also reached 83-degrees on May 16,
1934, you’d have to be over 80 to recall that one.

Thirty years ago, on May 13, 2015 the thermometer got down
to a chilly 13-degrees. That’s pretty darn cold for May. This past
Monday morning it got down to 21-degrees in town, pretty cool,
but not quite record cool for mid-May. A reminder at least that
planting flowers and vegetables is still a few weeks away, even
though the valley is clear of snow and recent rains are greening
things up nicely.

Lacrosse in Jackson Hole is exploding, like it has across the
country. Hockey on grass is exciting and easy to follow. The
game is fast, furious and full of contact. After watching a few
minutes of any game I know one thing: I wouldn’t ever want to be
the goalie.
Frank Menolascino handles the big butterfly net for the JHHS Boys team.
They returned from Utah last weekend with two more wins under their
belt. A 10-3 lambasting of Wasatch High on Friday was followed by a 9-7
win over Bingham JV on Saturday.
Team coach George Hein said despite the rain the Jackson team took the
field and played some of the “best lacrosse they have played all season.”
The U15 Boys team also went 2-0 over last weekend. The girls were less
fortunate, dropping both their games in lopsided losses. They could use
some hometown support this weekend.

Jackson Hole Mountain Roundup. Boys will play at the High School and
Middle School fields while the girls are in action at Jackson Elementary.
Jackson boasts a total of nine teams ranging from boys U9, U11, U13, U15 and High School to girls K-2, 3-5,
Middle School and High School.
Jackson Hole Mountain Roundup kicks off at 5:15 p.m. on Friday at the synthetic fields with the high school boys team game.
It will be an action-packed weekend with plenty of games all day Saturday and Sunday. Cafe Genevieve and Jackson Hole
POP: Fine Artisan Popcorn will provide food. Headwall Sports is sponsoring the tournament. Funds were also provided by
lodging tax dollars.

There is nothing wrong with
council member Jim Stanford’s
efforts toward alleviating Jackson
Hole’s housing crunch with a man
camp. It is an admirable dream. It is
also wrought with several holes.
Don’t look to string Stanford up for proposing
the idea. At least one politician is doing something
more than “campaign trail” talking about the
valley’s No. 1 problem. Stanford’s proposal the
other day at a council meeting was admittedly to
“take the temperature of the council” and was
a “very preliminary discussion” on addressing
an acute shortage of workforce housing. With
the Grove currently partially derailed, no idea no
matter how far-fetched should be left off the table.
A municipal campground for summer peons
sounds like a disaster looking for a place to
happen. Yeah, Lander might pull off something
similar but that’s not all that reassuring. Labor
camps that sprouted when America was laying
railroad tracks to connect San Francisco to a
developing nation were riddled with inherent
problems, namely crime.
Woodstock. PHOTO: WHOWHATWEAR.COM
The Jackson police force has to be shaking
in their boots at the thought of monitoring Woodstock without the rock and roll. There will be fights fueled by
drugs, alcohol and the nature of communal living in close proximity on a soccer field or in a parking lot. There
will be petty crime, sparked by opportunity and a second-class citizenry with no invested interest in their 180day community.
A labor camp in Jackson would also be a blight on the community. A constant eyesore reminder that Teton
County has become a place for the “haves” and the “don’t have squat.” A valley of gated communities fortressed
high in the sky while serfs scrape by on a Coleman stove dinner of Ramen noodles and Dollar Store desserts.
Tourists will notice. They’ll take pictures. Word will get out. Visitors will stop coming and our housing issue will
be solved that way.
Not even a pot to piss in unless you count the Rec Center, and there is another problem. The Rec Center folks
have enough trouble just keeping a roof over their head. They don’t need the added headache of trying to service
a community with their primary mission statement while making sure their plumbing can handle the extra load
of daily showers and Ramen noodle “number twos.”
The other bigger issue is what is not addressed with a hospitality industry tent city. Teton County needs more
housing opportunities for the middle class. Twentysomethings have always found a way to cram themselves into
any living situation in order to be able to spend a summer here between college semesters. But what about the
throngs of people who don’t want to come home to six roommates, nine dogs and squabbles over who drank the
last beer? By far, the largest underserved demographic in the county is professional singles and small families
who want their own space, whether rented or owned.
It’s the middle-income segment that is getting screwed and tattooed all over America. Jackson Hole’s unique
Shangri-La magnifies that economic hurt. And a tent city in Jackson would highlight that shame for a nation to see.

Triple Crown winner
buried in Wyoming
Kentucky might be able to boast on their
prolific racehorse breeding background
– the blue grass state is practically
synonymous with the industry – but
Wyoming owns an asterisk distinction all
its own.
A statue of Sir Barton – the chocolatecolored thoroughbred who was the first
Triple Crown winner in 1919 – marks
the final resting place of the illustrious
champion at Washington Park in downtown
Douglas, Wyoming.
“But why here, in a town of fewer than
7,000 people, without a racetrack, 1,349
miles from ‘Sir Barton Way’ at Hamburg
Place in Lexington, Kentucky, the horse’s
birthplace in 1916?” reads a wonderful story
by Brendan Meyer for the Star Tribune.
Sir Barton stands in Washington Park in Douglas, WY. PHOTO: CITY OF DOUGLAS
Meyer tells the tale with the help of
Gordon Turner, 80, who knows more about the horse than most of today’s hotshot trainers. When Sir Barton’s
racing career ended the stallion eventually made his way to a remote ranch in the foothills of Laramie
Mountain where he died in 1937. Turner had the bones of the great horse exhumed from the ranch and moved to
the park to honor a racing legend.
Earthquake! Take Refuge
| PLANETJH.COM | Bearly escaped in Yellowstone
Some folks reported feeling a fairly good jolt from a slight earthquake epicentered in the Elk Refuge (just off
to the right of the road in. Jim Stanford’s Facebook post elicited dozens of comments from East Jacksoners who
felt varying degrees of shaking from “Stronger than others I’ve felt” to “Felt like a bomb went off…”
According to the USGS quake center website, the trembler struck at 9:37 p.m. Monday night. It registered a
1.8 in magnitude at a depth of about 4 miles. USGS classified the event as a Category III intensity meaning no
damage and felt by only those close to the epicenter.
Tourons in Yellowstone made national news when a group was chased by a family of black bears. In the short
video, which made the rounds on Facebook and ended up on ABC’s Good Morning America, a passel of shutter
bugs are seen fleeing from a sow and her three cubs.
The bears run the park visitors down a stretch of road toward their waiting cars while a park employee at the
other end of the pavement attempts to distract the bruin family. Most of the tourists deserve some credit for not
outright sprinting to their vehicles. Whether by intuition, education or sheer luck, they were mostly just fast
walking or jogging slowly in retreat. No one was hurt or eaten.
Aspens water delicious
Justin Pidot wrote a piece for Slate that claims Wyoming has passed an unconstitutional law that could make
it illegal to photograph any body of water in, say, Yellowstone National Park. Pidot, who is an assistant professor
at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, wrote: “The state wants to conceal the fact that many of its
streams are contaminated by E. coli bacteria…”
“The new law is of breathtaking scope. It makes it a crime to ‘collect resource data’ from any ‘open land.’
The statute defines the word collect as any method to ‘preserve information in any form,’ including taking a
‘photograph’ so long as the person gathering that information intends to submit it to a federal or state agency,”
Pidot claims.
The act in question is Senate File 12 (Trespassing to collect data) passed last session.
Criminal water photography
Step aside, Ten Sleep, the Aspens is the new king of the faucet.
The Wyoming Association of Rural Water Systems awarded the Aspens Water and Sewer District with the
state’s best-tasting water at its annual technical conference and trade show. Ten Sleep had won the past two
years. Someone from the district will travel to Washington, D.C. next February for the national contest, called
the Great American Water Taste Test.
Best brewery in Wyoming
MAY 13, 2015 | 7
The Casper Star Tribune is wrapping up an online poll looking for their readers’ take on the state’s best
brewery. We were turned on to some regional beer makers that sure seem popular to middle staters. Black
Tooth Brewery (Sheridan) led the pack with Luminous Brewing (Sheridan) not far behind. Cheyenne’s Clear
Creek rounds out the medal winners so far.
Local brewers Snake River Brewing showed best for Jackson, followed by Melvin Brewing, Jackson Hole
Brewing Company, and Roadhouse Brewing – in that order.

he evening news continues to shatter assumptions of a world working in perfect
harmony. And our Facebook news feeds continue to confirm that today’s
students face new challenges hardly realized even a decade ago.
Aside from reading, writing and arithmetic, students today are set to
perform on global stages that require finely-tuned skills more often refined by
experience, not books.
“Think about the students coming into college now, knowledge is cheap — if you want
a fact, you Google it,” said Bryan Shader, a professor of mathematics at the University of
Wyoming. “If you want knowledge and want to know how to use knowledge to make a
difference, in some ways that’s about experiences. We need to concentrate on experiences as
opposed to transfer of knowledge.”
In Jackson, experiences that are made available to students often change the trajectory
of career paths, post secondary education goals and perspectives — molding students into
leaders that see beyond the mountain peaks.
“Living in a place like Wyoming can feel isolated,” said Jordan Schreiber, a 2008 Jackson
High School grad who now works as a Development Associate with J Street in Washington,
D.C. “I feel like my world opened up with Model UN. It was the first time I gained a
universal perspective.”
The American Dream
Whether the programs are offered through local businesses, statewide competitions or
nonprofit clubs, Schreiber encouraged today’s students to give them a shot.
“Regardless of whether or not you’re interested, just try it,” Schreiber said. “It’s so
important for students in Wyoming to gain these types of experiences.”
Case in point, Azadi Rugs may be a new business in the town, but the century-old fine
rug company has supported the international nonprofit GoodWeave, an organization that
has sought to eliminate child labor for decades. Trevor Ruffner, gallery director for Azadi
in Jackson, introduced the American Dream project this year, opening up an international

love learning and are becoming passionate learners. For a lot of kids, when they are done
with school, they are done. They see books and lectures as boring. For kids that participate,
they end up knowing more of what they want to
do in life. I think these experiences help them to
see what they are good at.”

Hailey Morton-Levinson may be the vice
mayor of Jackson as a member of the town
council, but it was programs like the Model UN
that first piqued her interest for international
flavors as a young student at Jackson High School.
“It was a really cool way to learn about
other countries and role play as a diplomat and

as someone from another country,” she said.
“When I started, I didn’t think that way. I was in
director for IC21.
my own little world. [With Model UN] I got to

meet students from other places throughout the
country.”
Morton-Levinson credited the Model UN program for her desire to study International
Relations and Political Science at Georgetown University, where she graduated in 2008. As a
college student she never anticipated moving back to her hometown of Jackson, she said, but is
glad to serve as a public leader in a place she holds so dear.
“I was happy to come back and use my skills on the town council,” she added. “I didn’t do
Model UN in college because college was a new level of work for me, but [Model UN] really
helped me develop my research skills and critical thinking skills. That is not as exciting when
partnership with local students and rug weavers in the Middle East.
“What we wanted to do was reach out to the community from the artist’s standpoint,”
Ruffner said. “We want to teach the community about how these rugs are made and inform
people about what goes on in the Middle East and what GoodWeave is doing to open our eyes
to their international work.” Ruffner took the American Dream to pARTners who pitched the
idea to various classes in town.
Jackson High School government teacher Jim Rooks has two students who were chosen
as finalists from a field of 30 submissions. The government teacher used the contest in
his classroom this year as a supplemental project to a “We the People” competition, where
students simulate a congressional hearing.
“Students should care about learning and it should be real,” Rooks said. “Authentic begets
authenticity. When the topic is real and you are looking at real people, and people are drawn
to real people, you have immediate student engagement. Experiential education goes handin-hand with authentic and real learning.”
The winning designer will have his or her art shipped to Pakistan where a professional
weaver will spin the “American Dream” into a rug.
The program dovetailed with the “We the People” competition. The statewide civics
program is another example of how teachers like Rooks are using programs to enrich and
expand students’ learning.
“I had these kids that just got back from the ‘We the People’ [competition], which is
very serious and a lot of work. Instead of just doing book work, I gave these students the
opportunity to compete in the American Dream,” he said.
It was something completely different for the students who were neck deep in researching
and analysis, he said.
Deeper connections for students are those made along the journey, he said. Rooks refers
to this as “soft edges,” of learning — the process by which students learn empathy through
dissecting an issue.
“When you turn them loose on an issue, they honor the complexity,” he said. “They walk
out thinking that life isn’t so simple and that it’s super complex. The end result is that they

While teachers use these classroom-enriching programs, many others can be found
through nonprofit organizations, Combs said. Contacting the Community Foundation of
Jackson Hole and cruising its website (CFJacksonHole.org) for nonprofit contacts is a good
first step. You can also find information on IC21 at IC21.org.
Shader suggests two programs through the University of Wyoming — the Summer High
School Institute for high school sophomores at UWyo.edu/HSI as well as the WYSTEM web
site at UWyo.edu/WYSTEM, which is full of programs for Kindergarten through 12th grade
students.
“Students that have performed perfectly on standardized tests, but struggle in class, are
dealing with life for the first time,” Shader said. “These programs help [students] develop and
make transitions less drastic. They help them deal with adversity and help them persist. We
are all going to meet challenges and we should welcome that. But how are we going to deal
with those challenges? That is a gift to give your child early on.”

you are a high school student but, looking back, it was very important.”
Shelby Combs’ experience was similar to Morton-Levinson’s. The newly-minted Executive
Director for InterConnections21, the nonprofit that supports programs like Model UN, said
it was Amnesty International that led her to a career in supporting other students’ desires to
see the world on a larger scale.
“I was a product of programs like these,” Combs said. “Now I feel like I am doing a
job that a kid coming out of these programs can do. You never now what [research] paper,
program, or speaker will spark an interest for your future work.”
Her studies and work have led her to Thailand, Belgium, China, South Korea and Jackson
Hole. After time spent as a global studies faculty member at the Journeys School, Combs now
shifts her attention to the IC21 mission, which is to educate students about critical world
concerns and take action. IC21 gives students and teachers opportunities to “think globally
and act locally.” Its current programs focus on engaging high school students in promotion
of human rights, peace and democracy, teaching about the United Nations system and global
issues, sustainability education, and preservation of World Heritage Sites.
“Kids from Jackson, Star Valley and Driggs, Idaho are all seeing the world in a different
way,” said Combs. Specifically, the Model UN program puts students in a position to
represent and defend a country and its people. To do that, a student needs to understand the
country’s history, issues and culture.
“This is a deep intercultural experience and it’s unique,” Combs said. “There isn’t
someone from Mozambique representing his country — we are putting the responsible on the
student.”
Shader, the University of Wyoming professor, said these kinds of programs develop a
different kind of college student.
“Anything that helps our students come in with an idea of where they want to go and
where they want to go with their lives gives them an advantage,” said Shader, who has
25 years teaching at the collegiate level. “When students are coming in with a different
perspective, they see where learning helps them connect with the world around them.
Somehow they are more motivated and looking to make a difference in the world.”

he HBO original series Game
of Thrones is easily one of the
most popular and hotly debated
television shows since ABC’s Lost
ended back in 2010. Mixing highconcept fantasy elements with more
family drama than The Sopranos
and Parenthood combined, GOT has
managed to captivate audiences and
defy expectations. The bloody tale
of the Stark/Lannister/Targaryen
power struggle is paving a path for
epic fantasy television, and winning
various Emmys and Golden Globes
along the way.
Based on a series of seven books
(five of which have been published)
called A Song of Ice and Fire, Game
of Thrones takes its title from the
first book, on which the first season
was based. Season two covered the
events of A Clash of Kings, but season

was a transition for me to not be
a character but to be my authentic
vulnerable self. I began playing
piano at age 4, which gave me the
foundation to be able to call myself a
real musician. I sang professionally
with my three sisters from the time
I was 10 until I was 24, and had seen
many realms of the music business
having record deals in London and
Nashville. Those all made it easy for
me to transition to a solo career. Life
in the arts is the best.
PJH: How many albums have you
recorded and released?
O’Neal: My first solo album, Eyes to
the Skyline, came out in 2009 under the
name Camilla O’Neal. I released that
under my middle name and married
name trying to have a career that
wasn’t hinged upon my career as
“The Garnick Girls.” Awaken to the
Wind was released Feb. 2014. Our
newest single, “I Love Anne,” was
released Feb. 14, 2015. I have other
albums under Saddle Rock Sisters
(the group with my sisters) that were
all early 2000s, but I think I blocked
them out (laughs).
PJH: How long have the NeverSweat
Players been together and how did this
ensemble come about? O’Neal: We’ve been playing
together as a group since 2010. I have
played with Steve Glenn (mandolin
and guitar) since 2008 in a different
orn and raised on a dude ranch
in Moran while performing in
plays at the family-operated
Jackson Hole Playhouse, Jess Camilla
O’Neal now lives in Dubois where
she performs with her band, The
NeverSweat Players. O’Neal will
be the first featured songwriter of
the summer season at Songwriter’s
Alley, performing with her quartet
tonight at the weekly, songwriterfocused open stage. Songwriter’s
Alley is 8 to 11 p.m. every Wednesday
at Hayden’s Post. The event is open
to all musicians and small ensembles
interested in signing up to perform
a two- or three-song set. Original
music is encouraged, though not
mandatory. (Aaron Davis is the
founder/organizer of Songwriter’s
Alley — Eds.)
PJH: How did your upbringing and theatre
experience at the Jackson Hole Playhouse
contribute to your current musical output?
Jess Camilla O’Neal: My first
summer stock performance — 90
days of shows, nightly — began when
I was 5 years old as Marta in The
Sound of Music, so I really did grow
up on the stage. I’m accustomed to
life there — rehearsals, late nights,
large crowds, cast, and community,
all very similar. There is, however, a
huge difference between performing
a musical theater play and doing an
intimate singer-songwriter set. That

band that I played bass in. Norman
Winter (upright bass) and I were in the
Wyoming all-state and honor choir
together all four years of high school. I
knew Chris Sabatka (fiddler/violinist)
from around town and that he had
been a fiddler and toured with Dean
Dillon — a big songwriter/performer
in Nashville. I love the camaraderie
of being in a band, cast, or group as
I have done all my life. We chose the
name NeverSweat Players as it was
the original town name of Dubois,
and also its real meaning to me is
akin to “don’t sweat the small stuff.”
PJH: Is there a primary theme in the
writing for the album, Awaken the Wind?
O’Neal: This album was an
awesome experience from day
one. There are 12 tracks on the album;
six are originals. We knew we wanted
a folk/western feel. Some of my songs
fit that bill and the cover songs really
supported the vibe we were going for.
Living in Dubois, wind is a theme in
your life and as we started to gather
songs for the album, unbeknownst to
us, almost every song we had picked
had the word “wind” in it, original
or not. As a singer-songwriter, I
don’t always love just playing my
stuff. There are so many beautiful
songs out there that are interpreted
so differently by each listener, or
artist, like “Across the Great Divide,”
a Kate Wolf song we covered. I think
it’s a great road trip album, maybe
an emotional road trip. Especially a
Wyoming road trip.
PJH: What is your background with
songwriting?
O’Neal: I had been performing solo
for a year in Nashville and landed a
publishing contract, but my father
had just passed away and I came
home to help out with the family
businesses. I actually wasn’t very
inspired in the Nashville songwriting
circle — getting together with four or
five other people in an office building
or apartment to “crank out” the next
hit. I was excited to be home writing
from the banks of the Wind River or
under the shadow of the Tetons.
PJH: Who are some of your greatest
influences and why?
O’Neal: Sheesh. I have so many
influences on a very broad spectrum.
As a Western songwriter, I love the
stories of Marty Robbins, Dolly Parton
Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash. I love
the complexity of Stephen Sondheim,
James Taylor and Carol King. I’m
enamored by Reba McIntyre’s career
— her ability to own all genres of
theatre, film, music. I’m not that up
on recent artists, not sure why.
Upcoming featured songwriters at
Songwriter’s Alley also include Isaac Hayden,
Beth McIntosh, Michael Batdorf, Wendy
Colonna, Alysia Kraft, Victor Pokorny

New works alight at
Tayloe Piggot Gallery
FRIDAY 5I15
OneofAmerica’smostcelebratedcontemporaryartistswill
debut brand new work at Tayloe Piggott gallery this weekend.
DonaldBaechler’s“SixRoses”featuresnewlycompletedsilkscreens
that have yet to be shown in any other gallery.
Baechler’sworkisdefinedbyrepetitionoficonicsymbols,said
CarolynRipps,directorofsalesandmarketingatTayloePiggott.
He’s used roses in his work for years. This new work features
dramatic flowers in blasts of bright colors, and each print has a
uniqueanddistinctivebackground.Heemphasizesline,form,and
foreground and background, she said.
“While these are prints, there is still an incredible
amount of layers and depth,” Ripps said.
Throughout his career he’s remained committed to
an emphasis on quality of line and balance. His work
typically includes a central iconic image that interacts
with a collaged background, giving it a simple, childlike
connection, which conveys an innocence, sophistication
and harshness.
Along with the six prints, the gallery will hang one
of his recent collage paintings.Baechler’s work hangs
alongside Nicole Charbonnet, one of the gallery’s artists
from when it was once known as JH Muse.
Charbonnet’s show, “ Tales, Trails and Traces,”
appropriates images from artists like Bridget Riley, Matisse
and Ellsworth Kelly, along with visual elements from films
and geometric patterns from wallpaper. She painstakingly
makes lines that might have taken other artists minutes to
paint, and rebuilds them in a layered collage to create an
architectural version of the work, Ripps said.
She often incorporates stereotypical images of
America as a way of exploring our perception of ourselves
as members of a society, Ripps said. Charbonnet uses
materials from “our shared cultural memory” to not
only evoke a sense of recognition and nostalgia but also
inform current social and political situations.
Charbonnet’s work is influenced by memory and her
hometown of New Orleans. She plays with the idea of how
we differentiate between real and fictitious memories and
dreams through ideas, emotions and feelings, Ripps said.
Like Baechler, Charbonnet uses iconic cultural symbols
she repeats in her work. While Baechler uses roses,
Charbonnet uses western and cowboy images. Pieces in
the exhibition include wolves, a fox and cowboys.
Her work is also steeped in layers. From afar it’s
dramatic and striking. Up close you can see the underlayers, which give the sensation of a dream and the
challenge of differentiating what’s real and what’s not.
The large mixed-media on canvas — the biggest is 66
by 96 inches — features plaster, collage, paint, modeling
paste, paper and marble dust, which creates an iridescent
sheen.
Both Charbonnet’s and Baechler’s works stand as
solo shows, Ripps said. “But there is this connection
that is more accidental than purposeful in that both
[artists] work in these iconic, repetitive symbols and
[they] complement each other,” Ripps said.
The opening Friday also includes a performance by
Contemporary Dance Wyoming, which serves as a preview
to Dancers’ Workshop’s summer season. The performance
is an exploration of the creative process, said Amanda
Flosbach, development director with Dancers’ Workshop.
The piece, created by artistic director Babs Case specifically
for the space, won’t treat the gallery like a stage. Instead of

Rob Brezsny’s FREE WILL COSMIC
ASTROLOGY
Café
Week of May 13, 2015
freewillastrology.com
©Copyright 2015 Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The danger of resisting a
temptation too strenuously is that the temptation might
depart. I suggest that you prevent that from happening.
Without throwing yourself at the mercy of the temptation,
see if you can coax it to stick around for a while longer.
Why? In my view, it’s playing a useful role in your life. It’s
motivating you to change some things that really do need
to be changed. On the other hand, I’m not yet sure that it
should become anything more than a temptation. It might
serve you best that way, not as an object of your satisfied
desire.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Is there an interesting ally
whose path rarely crosses yours? Do you draw inspiration
from a like-minded dynamo who is not fully available? Has
fate kept you and a friend from getting as close as you would
wish? According to my reading of the astrological omens,
relationships like these could become more substantial in
the coming weeks. The dream of a more robust connection
could ripen into an opportunity to actually collaborate.
So be alert for the openings, and be prepared to do what’s
necessary to go deeper.
Carol Mann is a longtime Jackson resident, radio personality, former Grand Targhee Resort
owner, author, and clairvoyant. Got a Cosmic Question? Email [email protected]
MAY 13, 2015 | 21
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may not be strong enough
to take a shot at a daunting challenge that’s five levels
beyond your previous best. But I think you are at least ready
to try a tricky challenge that’s one level higher than where
you have been operating. And that, in my opinion, is a more
practical use of your courage. I think it would be a waste of
your energy to get wrapped up in grandiose fantasies about
impossible perfections. As long as you don’t overreach, you
can accomplish small miracles.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The cosmos has authorized
you to be hungrier than usual. You may also feel free to
respond to your enhanced hunger with an extra aggressive
quest to be fed. Therefore: Be voracious! Risk being avid,
ardent, and even agog. Fill yourself up with pudding,
pleasure, praise, peace, perks, and privileges. Anything
else you’d like to engorge? If some unenlightened person
questions your right to claim the biggest piece and the
sweetest taste and the best fuel, inform them that your
astrologer says you have ultimate permission.
feeling uncomfortable, never having
a difficult day, or never having clear
preferences. Each soul has its own
tipping point for mastery. How will
you know you’ve let go of a pattern
that no longer serves you? Your life
will flow with more grace, ease, joy
and the experience of inner peace.
It’s important to note that how
long this process takes is directly in
our hands. Personal and collective
evolution are influenced by our level
of awareness, positive intention, selfhonesty, open heartedness, the ability
to forgive self and others, willingness
to take responsibility for ourselves,
and choosing the emotional high
road as consistently as possible in the
face of whatever life presents.
You might want to notice
repeating patterns of dissatisfaction,
frustration or conf lict in your
work, personal relationships and
within yourself as a way to become
more mindful of what it is you are
intending to upgrade. Simply stated:
Notice what hooks you. No blame, no
shame, but getting hooked means
there’s something there to heal. With
greater awareness of what you intend
to evolve in yourself, you can enjoy
gratitude for the positives in your life
and simultaneously get on with your
inner homework.
Operating on the primary fuel
of love rather than fear literally
enlightens the individual and the
collective consciousness of the
planet. The three parts of the Law of
Karma put us in the driver’s seat of
our lives.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): British Field Marshal Arthur
Wellesley was a brilliant military commander. Renowned
for his ability to beat larger armies, he also had great skill
at minimizing loss of life among his own troops. His most
famous triumph took place in 1815, when he led the forces
that defeated Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo. In the
aftermath, the French tyrant lost his power and went
into exile. What was the secret of Wellesley’s success?
“Bonaparte’s plans were made in wire,” he said. “Mine were
made in string.” In other words, Wellesley’s strategy was
more flexible and adaptable. As circumstances changed, it
could be rearranged with greater ease. That’s the approach
I recommend for you in the coming days.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Long before Lou Reed
recorded the song “Walk on the Wild Side,” Nelson Algren
wrote a novel titled A Walk on the Wild Side. It depicts
the luxuriant depravity of New Orleans’ French Quarter in
the 1930s. One of Algren’s most enduring bits of spiritual
advice goes as follows: “Never, ever, no matter what else
you do in your whole life, never sleep with anyone whose
troubles are worse than your own.” What do you think of
that, Capricorn? Even if you don’t regard it as a universal
rule that you should unfailingly obey, I suggest you observe
it in the coming weeks. For the sake of your mental hygiene,
be extra discerning about what influences you absorb -- not
just in bed, but everywhere.
A
ccording to metaphysical
tradition, the evolutionary
direction of our lives on Earth
is to embody and live here in a state
of unconditional love. Therefore,
the direction of our personal and
collective evolution is away from
fear-based thoughts, beliefs, actions,
and systems; and toward attitudes,
actions and systems based on love.
We are held to basic universal
principles to accomplish this. One
of these principles is the “Law of
Karma,” which has three major
components:
1. Thoughts, beliefs, and actions
not based in love will eventually
require a course correction.
2. We reap the effects of both
our positive and negative thoughts
and actions. The benefits of loving
actions, talents and skills accrue
and are with us across lifetimes. The
negative patterns travel with us as
well, repeating over and over until
we get the message and choose to
upgrade.
3. The third component of the Law
of Karma is that our own thoughts,
beliefs and actions determine what
we attract into our experience. A
change of heart literally changes
everything.
There is no time limit or number of
lifetimes for how long it takes each of
us to transform fear-based patterns
of judgment, aggression, hatred,
self-doubt, dishonesty and fear into
living through the heart. The level of
correction is not about perfection. It
doesn’t mean walking around never
CANCER (June 21-July 22): In mythic terms, you should be
headed for the winner’s circle, which is inside the pleasure
dome. The parade in your honor should follow the award
ceremony, and let’s hope you will be on the lead float
wearing a gold crown and holding a real magic wand while
being sung to by a choir of people you love and who love
you. If for any reason you are not experiencing some version
of these metaphors, I urge you to find out why. Or better
yet, get busy on planning a homecoming or graduation
party or award ceremony for yourself. From an astrological
perspective, you have a mandate to be recognized and
appreciated for the gifts you offer the world.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian Matt
Stutzman competes in the sport of archery. He’s the world’s
record holder for longest accurate shot, having hit a target
230 yards away. What makes his accomplishment so
extraordinary is the fact that he was born without any arms.
He holds each arrow in his mouth and grasps the bow with
his right foot and the help of a chest harness. In the spirit
of this armless archer, and in accordance with your current
astrological omens, I invite you to initiate an attempt to
triumph over one of your so-called disadvantages.
Q: What does Karma mean?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Endings to be useful must
be inconclusive,” wrote science fiction novelist Samuel R.
Delany. I endorse that theory for your use in the coming
weeks. Interweave it with this advice from playwright Sam
Shepard: “The temptation towards resolution, towards
wrapping up the package, seems to me a terrible trap. Why
not be more honest with the moment? The most authentic
endings are the ones which are already revolving towards
another beginning.” In other words, Gemini, don’t be
attached to neat finales and splashy climaxes. Consider the
possibility that you can simply slip free of the complicated
past and head toward the future without much fanfare.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many modern astronomers
are allergic to astrology, but from my perspective there is no
inherent conflict between the two fields. Four of history’s
greatest astronomers were practicing astrologers, after all:
Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Tycho Brahe, and Pierre
Gassendi. One of my friends in college, a Scorpio woman
named Martha Maiden, is a first-rate astrologer who got a
degree in astronomy and became a top scientist at NASA.
In the spirit of finding reconciliation between apparent
opposites, I’m happy to say that you are now a virtual
virtuoso in your ability to reconcile both apparent opposites
and actual opposites. I invite you to use this aptitude with
flair and daring.
with Carol Mann
| PLANETJH.CDOM|
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): My astrological colleagues
discourage me from talking to you Bulls about financial
matters. “Most Tauruses know ten times more about
the mystery of money than you will ever know,” said one.
“Their excellent instincts trump any tips you could offer.”
Another astrologer concurred, noting, “The financial
advice you give Tauruses will at best be redundant and
at worst simplistic.” A third colleague summed it up:
“Offering Tauruses guidance about money is like counseling
Scorpios about sex.” So although I’m shy about providing
recommendations, I will say this: The next five weeks will be
a favorable time to set in motion the plans to GET RICHER
QUICKER!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I suspect you are about to
experience some prime contenders for The Most Unusual
Adventures of 2015. Are you thoroughly prepared? Of
course not. There’s no way you can be totally ready to
adapt to unpredictable wrinkles and change your mind at a
moment’s notice. But that’s exactly what will make these
experiments so fun. That’s why they will be effective in
building up your resilience and willpower. For best results,
apply your nighttime thinking to daytime activities, and
vice versa. Spend minimal time on responsibilities that
don’t teach you noble truths about your fellow madmen
and madwomen. Now here’s my big question: How can you
tap into the extra power you will need during your rite of
passage?

Peaceful reflections on Jenny Lake.
Hidden Falls – a quiet sanctuary
in the off season
By ELIZABETH KOUTRELAKOS
@theplanetjh

N
ow that the sporadic rain and clouds have
hit, it’s time to find something to do that
entails little commitment — an activity you
can do on a whim whenever motivation begins to
trickle in. This off season is unique in the fact that
the trails have a lot less snow so you can easily
venture to the typically popular places without
fear of dodging the crowds. The possibilities of
what you can do stretch beyond one’s ability to
posthole endlessly up to your ankles. For the first
time in years, you may be able to walk with ease.
I began with the same uneasiness anyone would
have this time of year. Snowshoes were left behind
in the truck, and the trail from String Lake seemed
unusually dry. With the east-facing moraine
below Laurel Canyon melted out, I determined
it shouldn’t be a problem to go without winter
footwear.
The weather was a mix between drizzle and
hard balls of hail, but once my shoes started
moving, it warmed up quite quickly. I could only
see the mountains if I looked deeply into the
clouds — large pieces of granite looming in the
sky.
I walked through the remnants of the 1999
Alder Fire. This fire initially began by the String
Lake outlet and burned along the northwest shore
of Jenny Lake. For those biological gurus, this
portion of the trail is a great example of how fire
causes different things to grow. The scarcity of the
forest also makes it easy to spot wildlife. About
a mile in from the trailhead, I spotted an osprey
flying in and out of a nest tucked in a high, burned
out tree. The open area made it easy to sit and
watch for a while. Any other time of year, I would
feel concerned about blocking the trail as this
corridor is well used by many to access Cascade
Canyon and Hidden Falls, but today was different.
Remembering I was one of two cars in the parking
lot, I relaxed with ease and soaked in the scenery. A
rustling alongside the trail awakened my senses. I
immediately stood guard. A black fox trotted down
the trail without a care in the world. The creature
seemed so nonplussed I had to say something to
deter him from running directly into me.
The old burn quickly transitioned into thick,
large spruce and Douglas fir. The trees were a
welcome shelter from the pouring rain. I hit a
couple patches of snow but continued on. They
weren’t very long and it was firm enough that
my feet stayed on top. After seeing a sign to
Hidden Falls, I went up some newly constructed
steps. There appeared to be some trail reroutes to
navigate, which were well marked although recent
construction was evident.
A short uphill lead me to Hidden Falls. I saw
one person taking pictures. He came from the
South Jenny Lake trailhead and reported patchy
snow, some post holing, but manageable walking
conditions. After a short chat, he left and the only
chatter I heard was the roar of the falls. I conversed
accordingly, pondering the accessibility of this
currently quiet destination.
The great part about Hidden Falls this time
of year is no matter the weather, one can still
view the falls. They are quite unique with the
spring melt increasing the water flow, making
for a tremendous force to be reckoned with. I
made my way back to the trailhead and while I
was looking forward to a warm cup of tea, I had
no regrets with my tromp in the rain. The fact
is, once you decide to walk in the rain, it’s not as
bad as it looks from the comfort of your home.
Jenny Lake boating is scheduled to open May 15.
This service provides accessibility for people of
all ages and hiking abilities to enjoy the beauty
of Grand Teton National Park, most specifically
the area around Jenny Lake. As the summer rolls
in, it is only inevitable that more people will flock
to Hidden Falls. I can’t blame them; it’s a great
spot. Now is the time to explore the more traveled
summer trails during a time when others are not.
Hidden Falls lies just past the boat dock.
Manageable patches of snow and trail
make walking doable.

unlike today when honest Americans
are forced to use dollars issued by the
Federal Reserve.”
“So,” I said. “If America’s goods
and services increase, there will be
no corresponding increase to the
money supply because the amount of
gold does not increase, and a dollar
from my bank may not be worth
a dollar in Victor?”
“Or it could
be worth more,”
Alice said. “Idaho

could
choose to be on the
potato standard,
so
value
would
vary depending on
demand of tater tots.”
“That seems like a logical way
to run the world’s largest economy,” I
said. “We should have done this a
long time ago.”
Deciding to get a jump-start on the
whole money-issuing thing, I opened
the First National Bank of Hog Island.
Instead of using gold to back paper
notes, I decided to use whiskey. People
can bring in fifth- or gallon-jugs and
receive dollars. In an effort to create
financial instruments accessible to
all, other non-depreciable assets will
be considered for notes – like firearms,
of course, and ‘57 Chevys, as they
have shown an ability to appreciate
on the long term. While beer has a
specific expiration date, it will be
allowed to back corporate paper and
other short-term investments (real
beer, not Lite beer). In an effort to
attract investors from Teton Pines,
fine wines will be taken for exchange,
but with a slight “haircut” to protect
bank investors. Let’s face it, if there
is a world crisis and everything is in
chaos, what will depositors want —
gold, a glass of Pinot Noir, or a double
shot of Wild Turkey?

disdainful toward the seven sons of
Rothschild, who, according to Alice,

world’s finances.
“It would be so much simpler,”

Federal Reserve, each bank issued
dollars without federal interference.

on how far the issuing bank was,
