Humble Thanks
At long last our salvation has come. The great Wyoming wolf hunt is finally under way. Allow me to wish God Speed to those brave and bold
souls whom endure the rigors of the wilderness and unselfishly risk their
very being by seeking out and dauntlessly slaying the most feared predatory beast and bane to all mankind: the wolf.
May your limbs be warm, your aim be steady and your shots be true
as to find the very heart of this vicious vermin. May his meat be tender
upon the table from which you dine, may his pelt furnish you much
needed warmth from the brutal North winds and may his mounted head
above your hearth and mantle provide for your great embellishment of
tales to be passed on to your grand children.
Oh great victor of Canis Lupus, how can the mere humble man thank
you enough for your heroic deeds of saving the grace of civilization and
assuring the safety and felicity of our species to continue?

READER COMMENT
State vs. federal. Who wins?
Recently the state of Wyoming
won one and lost one with the
federal government. I don’t
think that is the same as we (the
citizens of Wyoming) won one
and lost one.
After much back and forth
with the federal government,
Wyoming was allowed to offer,
starting this week, our first licensed wolf hunt. This first required U.S. Department of Fish
and Wildlife Service to remove
Wyoming wolves from the protected species list. Of course, the
only reason we have wolves in
Wyoming is the government as
News and Guide reminded us in a
recent story on the hunt:
“Sixty-six Canadian wolves
were released in Yellowstone National Park in 1995 and 1996 to
re-establish the population
wiped out early in the 20th century. Wildlife officials estimate
there are now more than 1,700
wolves in the region.”
It seems the Los Lobos question has been answered for
Wyoming: the wolf will survive
and apparently thrive. Not that
this is consensus opinion. Conservation groups are planning
legal action and a supporting editorial in The New York Times described us as a “state with a
historic blood thirst for the hides
of these top predators, the nonprofits are probably right that
lacking protection, Wyoming
wolves are toast.”
Not that hunters are as confident of their genocidal power.
One hunter who purchased a
wolf license interviewed by the
Casper Star-Tribune makes the
point that wolves are notoriously
the nonprofits are
probably right that
lacking protection,
Wyoming wolves
are toast.
hard to hunt comparing his
chances of finding one to winning a lottery. Still, finding a wolf
is different than encountering
one. And the new rules allow
wolves to be shot on sight outside of official hunting areas.
Meanwhile, the new session of
the Supreme Court rejected
Wyoming’s attempt to get the federal government’s Roadless Rules
struck down. The Supreme Court
put down Wyoming’s appeal without comment with the result that
the state has no ability to tap into
the resources of 3 million acres
within Wyoming borders.
The Roadless Rule was created
late in the Clinton administration
and Wyoming felt an act of Congress should be required. At core
the argument was really about
Wyoming wanting to allow logging, mining and drilling on the
land while environmentalists
were worried the land would be
logged, mined or drilled.
So, for those keeping score: the
federal government is letting
Wyoming make some decisions
on wolves but keeping complete
control of certain public lands. If
you believe in State’s rights then
the decision on wolves was a
good one and SCOTUS upholding the Roadless Rule a bad one.
On the other hand, if conservation and the environment are
your passion then you probably
hold the opposite view. And, to
me that is the real point. We live
in an era that glamorizes local
government as somehow better
than federal. But these examples
show both federal and state governments are susceptible to pressures from interests groups:
business, environmental, hunter,
rancher and conservationist.
And, both wield authority over us
with equal strength.
On “What’s All the Hysteria About?”
■ What a delight it was reading about a ‘local couple makes good’
meme with the in depth story about ‘hysteria’. Not that it is that necessary these days to experience a success story without feeling guilt but
these two writers invested 6 years of their life to produce such a unique
and personal twist to an unknown story about the beginnings of an invention that truly ‘changed the world’ for the better. A sensitive topic to
many brought to life by those two visionaries that now call Victor, Idaho
home. What a testament to two daring souls that wandered as far from
New York and Los Angeles as one could imagine but persevered regardless of their chosen locale. How nice it is to have someone bring the
‘story behind the story’ to life.
On “The Upside of Biased Opinion”
■ I think you’re saying ‘thank goodness for the internet’ when it comes
to information and I couldn’t agree more. I also think the ‘bias’ of the
mainstream media is irrelevant, because the major issue is control and
censorship of information; and because the MSM does drive the conversation, and most people do acquire their world view from it, it’s a very important issue, and one that deserves honest and courageous scrutiny.
On “Props and Disses”
■ You can listen to this whole “Rambo”, as you put it, incident on
YouTube, as Pierson got a recorded audio of it. It’s quite interesting, if for
nothing else, how long it went on. Neither side was backing down. Bassett wanted the weapon out of Pierson’s reach during the stop, Pierson
was adamant, “NO WAY!”. Bassett tried a quasi-lesson in civics and the
law. The marine captain said it didn’t apply to him and Bassett was wrong.
I’d like to hear local SO or PD weigh in on this, but it’s my understanding
that Bassett had the right to at least confiscate the weapon, unload it, and
give it back to Pierson, then return the ammo when the stop was concluded. Certainly, Pierson was completely legal, but Bassett was justified
in his caution and attempting to remove the weapon, not knowing who or
what kind of person he had pulled over. It’s just procedure. Survivalist
“Freemen” types in the area are just bonkers over this “violation” of Pierson’s rights.

Split Rock roadtrip
Fall is here in the Tetons, and what a grand summer it was for climbing! There is still some climbing to
be had, but chilly temps up high, and shorter daylight hours make the climbing challenging enough. Time
to start thinking of road tripping!
A couple weeks ago on my way back from Colorado, I stopped at an old stomping ground, as I drove
through The Sweetwater Rocks near Jeffreys City, Wyo., called Split Rock. Lankin Dome is also nearby. This is
the perfect time to climb there due to clear autumn weather, and cooler temps on the rock faces. But be aware
of hunters and rattlesnakes. We camped near the rock by accessing The Split Rock Ranch, off Highway 287, just
outside Lander. From Jeffreys City, go about 17 miles just past the Cranner Rock Rest Area, and turn on a dirt road.
Drive about five miles, and turn left past the ranch buildings. A friendly “hello” to the ranch owners to let them
know you’ll be camping is highly encouraged. There are many, countless areas to climb. Most of the routes were developed by NOLS. A highlight of the trip was getting up the 500-foot granite Southeast face of Split Rock on a fourpitch climb called “Fire and Sage” (II 5.8 trad/sport). This well-bolted slab/face was spectacular! The view from up top
looked out into the prairie where you can see remnants of the historic Oregon Mormon Trail. Rather than rappelling
down, we downclimbed back towards the car, and explored the fun blobs of rock. For gear: helmet, harness, climbing
shoes, moderate rack with 12 quickdraws, 60-meter rope, water, and first aid kit. For beta: “Lander Rock” by Collins,
or stop by the NOLS branch in Lander. Rock On! – Kevin J. Pusey

Why not WYDOT? They have the right-of-way
Toughy in training for the Tough Towner in Jackson.
Jackson’s first adventure race
A combination of challenge and fun.
By Richard Abowitz
If you enter “adventure races”
on YouTube you can find hundreds of videos of intense athletic
folks pushing themselves through
manmade obstacles. And, then
you can find other videos of people who are just having fun working their way through the course.
The First Annual Tough Towner
Ultimate Community Obstacle
Course created by Grand Dynamics hopes to attract both. Grand
Dynamics CEO Tim Walther says,
“Everybody can give this a go.
The idea is to challenge yourself
and to have some fun. There are
race classes for those that want to
go fast and push it, and there is
also a fun class, where people can
still push it but you might just be
racing along side an elephant.”
The elephant part needs some
explaining.
First off Toughy (the elephant’s
name, of course) wears a pink
tutu and is the mascot for the
event. According to Walther,
“Toughy represents all potential
Tough Towners.” Okay, but why
an elephant? “There are many
meanings behind the elephant,
including representing our emotional side of change and what
brings us passion in life. Toughy
also represents having fun.”
In terms of Tough Towner race
fun is suggested by the calendar:
October 20 being not too long before Halloween. “We expect to
have several costume-themed
teams in the fun class of the
event,” Walther says. Individuals
are invited to come costumed as
well. And, in addition to your own
costume you may want to offer
an idea for a local symbol worthy
of the experience for next year.
Walther says: “We are actually
open to the idea of an iconic
Jackson Hole figure for the Jackson Hole Tough Towner, but that
has yet to present itself, and this
is the first ever Tough Towner.”
Walther offers a sketch of the
6 October 3 - 9, 2012
race for those considering the
challenge:
“It starts at Phil Baux park at
Snow King. We’ll do an opening.
The first part of the race is a
mountain scramble up a portion
of Snow King. Then participants
travel to the Rodeo Grounds.
There is an element there. Then
we go to Miller park. From there
we go to the Recreation Center
Field. Then to Mike Yokel and
back to Phil Baux park for the
finish.”
Some may choose to bicycle
instead of run between the parks.
Altogether the race loop spans
about four miles. Of course, the
The idea is to offer the
challenge to a variety
of different people in
the community.
– Tim Walther
imagination will reconfigure the
geography with obstacles. “We’ve
created these different challenges and obstacles: climbing
over walls, crawling through
mud, and running through tires,”
Walther says.
The racers will go in two
groups: fast class and fun class.
This allows the serious athletes to
participate before the more casual adventurers. Walther explains, “The Fast Class will go first
in the morning. And, the Fun
Class will go a couple of hours
later. The idea is to offer the challenge to a variety of different people in the community. So, it is not
just for the Jackson elite athlete
but for anyone who wants to
challenge themselves. You can go
fast; you can go slowly; you can
do it individually; you can do it as
a team. And, we are encouraging
costumes and fun.”
It is not easy to start a new
event in hopes of creating an annual tradition. And, Walther notes
Grand Dynamics is a local busi-
l www.JHweekly.com
ness – for the past 14 years – that
sees this effort as an important
contribution to Jackson. “Grand
Dynamics puts on a lot of corporate events: different adventure
races. I wanted to bring this to
the community and have it available to the community and not
just specific businesses,” Walther
explains. Indeed, life in Jackson
inspired everything about this
Tough Towner race. “I live in the
central hub of all four of the parks
in East Jackson,” Walther says.
“And, I spend a lot of time hiking
up Snow King. I would hike up
Snow King, looking down at the
parks and think that there has to
be a cool event we can create.
Then I started thinking: what are
the resources in the town? One
thing came from the next.”
Of course, the gap between
having and executing an idea in
Jackson often involves a different
sort of obstacle course: bureaucratic permissions. But Walther
happily reports that has not been
a problem for Tough Towner,
which was embraced by the town.
“Immediately the Parks and Rec
Department got on board,”
Walther says. This year the event
benefits the Jackson Hole Community School.
It is worth stressing that the
race is meant to appeal not only
to Jackson as a whole but also to
encourage groups to further
bond or even to form within the
community. Walther says, “This is
a great team building event for
businesses to engage their employees and bring people together through fun adventure.”
Excited to bring this to town,
Walther concludes, “That combination of challenge and fun is the
right one for Jackson Hole.”
Saturday, October 20, from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m. Registration is $39
until October 5; $49 after. For

I don’t wanna be “that guy.” Oh, hell, who am I kidding; of
course I wanna be “that guy.” But WYDOT is completely
within their rights to jimmy around with the highway striping
on 22.
Cyclists were thrown for a loop (and hopefully only figuratively) when
WYDOT suddenly showed up with their “Picasso paint truck” and redid
the lines on the busiest two-lane in the state during rush hour. “Brilliant,” v
the two dudes in the Guinness ad would say. Adding a turning lane for one
household at the expense of reducing the bike lane to a third of its original
w
width with no heads up at all was also a piece of extraordinary foolishness.
But highways are for vehicles, not bikes. I cannot, for the life of me, understand what would possess someone to pedal along that stretch of murderer’s row. I don’t feel safe behind an air bag and surrounded by two
tons of steel. WYDOT’s first – and maybe only, if they’d admit it – concern
should be for automobile traffic. In-town streets should address a bike
lane, sure, but highways are for combustible engines hurtling across the
expanse at 55 mph, minimum.
The cyclists looking to crank from town to Wilson and the Village will
soon have their dedicated Pathways to do it on. Vote for the SPET item in
November.
And for the self-appointed safety monitors who want to close the Pass
J
to truck traffic every time an 18-wheeler smokes out its brakes in front of
the Coach: Get real. You couldn’t make it two days without the precious
iPhone 5s, fresh sushi, and JH Weekly’s those good buddies are hauling into
Jackson. It’s a mountain pass; live with it. It ain’t the only one in America,
and it’s far from the most dangerous. Try Wolf Creek Pass if pumping your
brakes on Teton Pass puckers your sphincter.
Calling Judge Roy Bean
Maybe I just don’t get the American judicial system. I
admit I’m no Perry Mason … or even Perry Como. But
what does a guy gotta do to get put in jail and kept in jail
while awaiting trial for beating his old lady into an Intensive
Care Unit?
Judge Jim Radda reduced bail for Robert Carmichael Jr., from a $20,000 w
cash bond to $2,500 cash. Radda has explained his view on bail in court,
saying every criminal defendant has a constitutional right to bail [as long as]
he or she doesn’t pose a threat to public safety while out of jail. Radda
must not be from Texas. Is Carmichael’s girlfriend considered part of the
“public?”
Carmichael’s taxpayer-funded lawyer Rob Stepans told the Daily, “In
this country, in this system, we have a presumption of innocence.” Also
not from Texas.
The county prosecutors have been too soft on crime for too long. Finally, they request a decent bond only to have Radda chisel it down. Later,
after prosecutors added two more felonies to Carmichael’s aggravated assault count, Radda finally jacked the defendant’s bail to $100,000 cash.
Calling Elliot Ness
Poor Teton County. They went toe-to-toe with Roger
Seherr-Thoss’ South Park gravel pit and lost. They called
Jamie Mackay’s bluff at the Jackson Hole Campground and
lost. They are embroiled in litigation with Peter Moyer over
Mackay’s mixed-use development in downtown Wilson. Now, one of the
planning department’s hardest working legal eagles is jumping ship to a
private firm. Attorney Nicole Krieger, who in 2007 convinced Judge Tim
Day to hold two rape suspects on one million dollars bail, each, announced she will join Hess, Carlman & D’Amours of Jackson.
Krieger’s possible replacement might be Deputy Prosecutor Brian Hultman, who would slide over from the criminal sector and handle the
county’s growing land-use issues. He’ll have a messy desk when he gets
there.
In addition to the wrist-slapping sissy fight the county is currently in
with Fintan Ryan the Nevada Narcissist whose ego-berm is casting a
shadow on Skyline, Krieger’s replacement will have to get up to speed on
the Ohlmann’s, who seem intent on erecting a retaining barrage that will
make the Great Wall of China look like a street curb.
County planners asked the Ohlmann’s nicely to tear down the 1,500foot wall after the Horse Creek landowners built it without permission,
according to department director Jeff Daugherty. The wall remains. Inspectors will visit the site again on October 19. (There is really no need
to drive down there, you can see the wall on Google Earth it’s so massive.) And if it is still there and the construction crew is still camped out
overnight, like they have been, well then, the county is going to get really mad.

A banner year for sign requests
By Jake Nichols
Monday night the Town Council
agenda for the regular bimonthly
meeting included four more special requests to fly temporary advertising banners in town – the
issue of the hour so much so that
the Council took time recently to
workshop the problem. Municipal
Code and Land Development regs
allow private businesses to petition
the town for use of temporary banners for three purposes – their
opening, their closing and unique
sales events. Non-profits can use
banners pretty much whenever
they want.
Is it a level playing field? How
many banners are too many and
how big is too big? Where should
signs be allowed to hang? Does
Jackson have a visual pollution
problem? We asked the town government candidates what they felt
about temporary banners.
Mark Barron: At the core of the
sign and banner ordinance is aesthetics. Size, colors, use frequency
and numbers of banners are legitimate questions for the public and
Town Council to consider. A town
ordinance should not penalize the
private sector while granting the
not-for-profit and special events
sectors virtually whatever is requested. I believe the townspeople
will come out of this public process
with more knowledge about temporary banners and a willingness
to comply because the answer for
the private sector will be something other than “no.”
Jim Fulmer: If the original intent
of the regulations concerning the
use of temporary advertising banners was to help control the clutter
in town, the type of organization
that sponsors the banner is not the
issue. The law should be written
and enforced equally regardless of
the type of organization. I support
the use of tasteful minimal banners
to temporarily announce special
events or sales. The size, color, design and duration of the showing of
the signs should be outlined by the
regulations and enforced consistently by the town.
Phil Cameron: In order to
streamline enforcement/compliance and the review process I think
that it would be best to have a simple, straightforward regulation on
size, location, duration and consecutive days for banners in public.
I would prefer to have a predictable
system in place to deal with signs
on a case-by-case basis.
Jim Genzer: I went to this Town
Council workshop and listened to
the discussion and made comment. I stated that both the local
businesses and the nonprofits
should be treated the same when it
comes to temporary banners or
signs. I think there needs to be
more discussion about size, etc. of
banners depending on location. A
banner on Albertsons certainly
could be much larger than a banner on a street corner in downtown
Jackson for example. The one thing
I suspect is that whatever is decided will probably be reviewed
again and again as this is a tough
one to treat everyone fairly.
Hailey Morton: I’d like to see
nonprofits and private businesses
on a level playing field when it
comes to temporary banners. One
should not have an advantage over
the other. Size, placement, and
timing should be regulated to limit
clutter and ensure the natural
beauty of our town is able to be enjoyed.
Jim Stanford: I think the status
quo is sufficient – banners only for
nonprofits. I do not favor the proposal to allow businesses to display
temporary signs. There is a reason
the council passed this ordinance
back in the 1980s – temporary signs
tend to get out of control and make
the town look like a junk show. The
planning department has more important work than monitoring the
size, quantity and duration of all
these banners.

We were messing around on
Facebook the other day (don’t
tell our bosses, please) when we
came across a cute piece of artwork in “I f***ing love science”
Facebook page. It was titled “Curiosity killed Schrödinger’s cat …
or did he?” This required we look
up Schrödinger and said cat. We
were feeling especially motivated
that day.
Schrödinger’s cat is a thought
experiment/paradox devised in
1935 that involves killing a cat
with radiation or poison or both.
Apparently, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that a cat in a
sealed box exposed to radiation
and poison is at some point si-

gave us a headache. It
wasn’t too easy on the
cat, either.
The artwork, which has
received 11,574 likes and
2,852 shares as a Facebook “wall photo,” is easier to contemplate. And
while doing so we noticed the instantly-recognizable signature of local
artist Kelly Halpin.
Prince to Patrons

Royalty is headed to Cody,

times. The Cody Enterprise is reporting Prince Albert II of
Monaco will travel to Wyoming
next September to mark the
100th anniversary of a visit by his
great-great-grandfather. The
Buffalo Bill Historical Center
says the prince has accepted its
invitation to attend the 2013 Patrons Ball next September.
Prince Albert I visited Cody in
September 1913. He spent two
weeks hunting for elk and deer
with Buffalo Bill himself. Prince
Albert II is the ruling sovereign of
Monaco and the son of late
American film star Grace Kelly.

Jackson Hole Ski Patrol calls it

CONFESSIONS
of a wedding DJ
Things your wedding
singer won’t tell you
BY JAKE NICHOLS
COURTESY JAKE NICHOLS
I am a wedding DJ.
It took me 45 minutes to
write that sentence. It took me a
lot longer to be able to say it out loud in public.
Imagine a wedding singer like Adam Sandler or Dan Finnerty. Someone who has accepted the reality that he will never front a band for a
sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. The closest he will ever get
to his dream of being an internationally known performer is rocking
cover tunes at wedding ceremonies in a sad and pathetic manner. Now
picture someone below that. I just push buttons.
I remember my first wedding. I wasn’t really even the wedding DJ. I
was working for the guy who was the wedding DJ. He double-booked
and gave me the “easier gig.” It went predictably dreadfully. Not only
had I never DJ’d a wedding before (hey, we all gotta start somewhere),
but I had never been to a wedding. I was faking my way through it on
one speaker (whenever I plugged the other one in it made a terrible
screeching sound), when one of the servers came by to discreetly refill
my water.
“Heads up, the MOB is on the warpath,” she whispered. “She’s really
laying into the F&B right now; something about the lights. I don’t think
the B&G have even noticed but the MOH is headed over here; get ready
for trouble.”
I didn’t want to blow my cover as the world’s most ignorant DJ and
ask what an MOB was or how much power they had to ruin my life. For
the record: Mother of the Bride, Food and Beverage (Banquet) manager,
Bride and Groom, Maid/Matron of Honor. I was trying to remember if
my boss had told me anything about packing some lights. I hadn’t
brought any.
A bad wedding DJ can ruin a reception. They have to be really bad,
though, and thankfully there aren’t that many horrible ones. An exceptional DJ can turn an ordinary reception into an unforgettable evening –
the kind of wedding night the bride has dreamt about all her life and a
party the guests will remember for the rest of theirs. If I’ve done my job
right, she won’t even care if her husband’s wedding night performance
is less-than-Tommy Lee because he’s been overserved.

9th ANNUAL
I don’t know how or when it
began, but Jackson Hole has become the Niagara Falls of the
West. Everyone wants to get
married here. Many Jackson
B&Gs met here – on the slopes
or on a barstool saddle at the
Cowboy. Many of them got engaged here. When you think
about it, though, a Jackson wedding makes pretty good sense.
Travel is no longer the logistical nightmare it once was but
it’s still arduous enough and expensive enough to keep away
undesirables, like your alcoholic uncle or fossilized grandmother with the embarrassing
colon disorder. A picturesque
wedding in the heart of the
Mountain West can also wash
away the stress of big city life for
weeks, or at least ’til the cake’s
gone stale.
And can Jackson Hole throw a
party? For a town of its size, located hundreds of miles from
any place the newlyweds might
be registered, there is nothing
that can’t be got for a wedding
in Jackson Hole. Fresh, wild,
line-caught Chilean sea bass?
An eight-piece ballroom swing
band that knows a couple Usher
covers? Enough flowers to cover
three Rose Bowl parade floats?
Please. How about a challenge?
Behind the mountains and
underneath the snow, Jackson
Hole is a service industry like no
other. I’ve watched executive
chefs hailing from legendary
eateries back East whip up 115
entrées on a portable Camp
Chef gas grill under a mildewed
tent in poor lighting. I’ve listened teary-eyed to an officiant
marry off two people I don’t
even know while a photographer, dressed to the nines,
working in 90 degree heat, gets
down on her knees in the grass
for that perfect shot of a canine
“flower girl” who’s suddenly
squatted to pee in the aisle.

When people find out I DJ
weddings, their reaction is predictable. Once they muffle the
pity-giggle they always mention
a cousin or a sister or a coworker who’s getting married
soon and could they have a
card. Then they want dirt. Ever
have any bridezillas? What if
they don’t dance? Is it Matron
or Maid of Honor?
Unfortunately, at least for my
unfinished tell-all novel “I Knew
the Bride When She Used to be
Less of a Bitch,” there haven’t
been that many “bridezillas.”
Some have been more “handson” than others but by the time
I get ’em, they’re hitched and
exhausted with sweating the
details. They won’t remember
or care that “YMCA” was on
their “Do Not Play” list, especially if 85 of the 88 guests are
out there groovin’ to it like their
plane was going down.
To be honest, it’s usually the
attendees that turn out to be
the biggest headache for a DJ.
Juggling the bride’s list of music
with what actually populates
the dance floor in real life is
enough of a challenge without
drunken backseat turntablists.
My best piece of advice for
guests to get their requests
played comes off a T-shirt I’ve
never had the nerve to wear: “1.
Have breasts; 2. Write it down
on a $20; 3. Be nice; 4. Don’t
have a penis.”
Seriously though, I’m not
one of those Tiësto wannabes
who’s too good to take requests. Wedding guests have
often turned me on to some
killer stuff, and they almost always know their group better
than I do. I had this one older
lady come up once and request
the McCoys’ “Hang on Sloopy.”
I had tried everything on these
deadbeats – Motown, disco,
’80s, new dope club, hip-hop,
big band, rock – it was looking
like an “Immovable Feast,” as
we say in the biz. I was sure this
1965 ditty from a one-hit wonder wasn’t going to do the trick.
But she knew her peeps, and
she knew something I didn’t at
the time: “Hang on Sloopy” is
the unofficial song of Ohio (especially Ohio State football
fans), and guess where the
bride’s family was from?
Once, this backwoods-looking redneck approached me
during a wedding at Lozier’s Box
R Ranch down in Cora. The
bride and groom had requested
two types of music: George and
Jones. If it didn’t have a pedal
steel in it, they weren’t interested. I played every Hank,
Willie and Waylon song I owned.
I finally had to try to shake it up
a little. I snuck in a song; I think
it was The Spinners version of
“Working My Way Back to You.”
“Look around. Do you see
where you are, boy? Do you see
the heads on the walls?” asked
this hayseed cracker, pointing
to the impressive array of taxidermy. “Do you think the bride
and groom wanna hear this [Nword] shit? I can guarantee you
they do not.” I resisted the urge
to “drop the needle” on Will
Smith’s “Getting Jiggy With It”
and kept it as country as a
George Bush political rally.
I remember this one time,
while I was putting the finishing
touches on my setup, I heard an
odd sound from across the
room. It sounded like someone
sat on a whoopee cushion. The
cake had deflated and was listing to one side. I had never seen
that happen. I didn’t know it
was possible for something like
that to happen. No one was in
the room – they were all next

door attending the ceremony.
What do I do? If I tell someone,
they’ll think I had something to
do with it. I ignored it, clamped
on my headphones, and became suddenly and intensely
interested in pretending to listen to Soul Coughing’s “Collapse.” Not long after, when
members of the family and
wedding party arrived, I heard
the screaming through my
headphones (“Seeping down,
seeping down now.”)
Speaking of cakes, I had one
bride who tossed the bouquet
over her shoulder straight into
a ceiling fan. The whirling
blades sent a chunk of roses
ricocheting toward the cake
table where they struck the top
tier with a thud. The remaining
mangled petals floated gently
to the floor where a tangled
mass of single women had dogpiled in the center of the dance
floor, high heels scattered all
over the place. I stopped Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” in midchorus and as fast as I could
punched in the Dragnet theme:
“Dum-de-dum-dum.”
One of my brides I will never
forget. I’ll call her “Lisa.”
(That’s her real name, actually,
but I’m sure she won’t mind or
won’t see this in Brooklyn
where she lives.) Lisa was a
dream bride to work with. Her
music selections were all over
the map, which I love, from
classy stuff like Glenn Miller to
indie rocker Mat Kearney to hip
dance floor favs like The
Wanted. This reception was
going to be a breeze. There was
one potential speed bump,
though: Lisa wanted a karaoke
version of Etta James’ “At Last”
to be at the ready. Uh oh. It was
going to be a surprise. Oh no.
She was going to sing to her
husband. Oh hell no.
First off, “At Last” has got to be
the most overplayed wedding
song ever. Second, that cut is one
of those “untouchable” recordings no one should mess with, I
don’t care who you are. Like
Patsy Cline’s “Crazy” or Frank
Sinatra’s “Summer Wind,” some
signature songs were just nailed
the first time around. I tried to
dissuade Lisa by telling her I
could not soup up her vocals
with any singer-friendly effects.
“That wireless will have no reverb, no nothing. You’ll be dry,” I
warned her. That’s OK, she said.
The day before the wedding I
met her at the rehearsal dinner
and asked if she wanted to practice the song when I was done
setting up. She didn’t.
The plan was, I would announce the cake cutting and direct everyone to get up and
gather ’round the newlyweds at
the cake. There would be a
mock search for the seemingly
missing ceremonial knife, with
the head chef finally presenting
my wireless mic to the bride instead. I cued the song and
pressed “PLAY.”
And then, cold, with a
mouthful of prime rib, Lisa let
loose with that famous opening
refrain. She belted it bigger
than Etta, pitch perfect. The
crowd roared. I doublechecked the song I had playing.
Did I load the original version
instead of the instrumental?
Nope, that was all Lisa. When
she finished, her husband took
the mic from her, his eyes watering, and said, “I do.”
Tips of the trade:
Advice from behind the mic
My advice to the next Mr. and Mrs. Whoever: In a riff off the Shannon disco hit, “Let the DJ Play.” If
there is one thing I’ve noticed time and again it is micromanaging brides who fuss over every detail
to the point that they often miss their own wedding. You’ll get married once in your life (well, 2.7
times, statistically-speaking). We do this every Saturday, May through October. We’re pretty good at it.
Give us room to work.
Supply the DJ with a general idea of your music tastes; maybe some artists you like or a few specific songs. This will give the DJ an idea of your particular style and enable him or her to fashion a
“soundtrack” to your wedding that is uniquely yours. If you’re tired of hearing the same old songs like
“Brown Eyed Girl” (believe me, we’re tired of playing them), be sure to mention you want something
different or unconventional. Keep in mind, though, not everyone at your wedding is going to dig on
Five Finger Death Punch as much as you, and there’s a reason worn out hits like Bob Seger’s “Old
Time Rock and Roll” work. (It’s called alcohol, by the way.)
And stay off the websites for advice. If you are basing your playlist off TheKnot.com’s suggestions
for that season, guess what: Your wedding will sound like every other bride’s who wanted to hear
Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” in 2010. Like a grade school teacher who knows who’s been copying their test answers from who, I can tell in two seconds where you got your out-of-left-field request
for Jason Mraz. Fifteen other brides had the same song.
Pleasing everyone at your wedding, from your great-grandmother to the flower girl, is an acquired
talent. It’s routine to make Nicki Minaj, Louis Prima, and The Cure all work in the same evening, in
the same dance “set.” “Eclectic” should define every wedding reception playlist.
Also, think about a day other than Saturday. I used to charge way too little for weddings until a
photographer I know practically laughed in my face when I told him how much I was getting one
night.
“They spent more on the cake than you,” he said. “You should not be charging what you think
you’re worth. You should be charging what a summer Saturday is worth to you.”
True dat. There are basically a dozen primo gigs available during a Jackson Hole wedding season:
four Saturdays each in July, August, and September. Smart people don’t book the typical June wedding in Jackson Hole. You can always tell an ill-informed out-of-towner who schedules an outdoor
wedding in early June. (Better pack your parka. “The bride wore North Face.”). Locals usually snatch
up the September dates. July is too prone to thunderstorms and the August sun will blister your
guests into a pool of sweat at the ceremony. September is perfect and almost always weather-proof.
But does it have to be a Saturday? You’ll get better rates (sometimes half-off the normal price
gouge) from everyone – venue, caterer, florist, photographer – if you book a Friday or a Sunday.
Regarding your first dance song: It’s not a make-or-break deal, but take it from someone who’s
played “Bless the Broken Road” about 5,000 times – I don’t remember any of you. I still get chills recalling Max and Cécile’s sexy “I’m Feeling Good” (Nina Simone). I remember the tension release of
Kevin and Tammy’s “Brand New Girlfriend” (Steve Holy). I’ll never forget Dan and Lindsay heat up a
tent on a cool September night with a grinding take on Otis Redding’s “Open the Door.”
Make your first dance selection something uniquely yours that no one else will likely use. Avoid flavor-of-the-month hits. Something timeless that you won’t be embarrassed to dance to at your 40th
anniversary works better than, say, Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
Finally, and I cannot stress this enough, there is never any excuse for Dave Matthews or Coldplay
to be played at your wedding. Never. Ever.

Glenn Miller Orchestra makes big band debut in Pinedale this Friday.
Pinedale brings big band hullabaloo
By Aaron Davis
Though its founder and mastermind,
Glenn Miller, mysteriously disappeared after
boarding a transport plane to Paris in 1944
only to be presumed dead, the Glenn Miller
Orchestra has been going strong since its reboot in 1956. Amazingly, the band had no
less than 72 Top 10 hits before Miller’s death.
During the era of Miller’s Army Air Force
Band, the group performed more than 800
times in less than a year. Of these, 500 were
broadcasts heard by millions.
That alone gives us a glimpse into the cultural and historical impression that this big
band has made since forming more than 75
years ago. But it wasn’t successful until
Miller’s breakthrough realization. After disbanding the group for a brief time in 1937,
Miller had a disheartening stint that wound
up producing the idea that would set the
band apart from the others – to have the clarinet holding the melodic line while the tenor
sax plays the same note, and supported harmonically by three other saxophones.
Record-breaking recordings followed, including “Tuxedo Junction,” “In the Mood”
and “Chattanooga Choo Choo.”
As of earlier this year, the 18-member touring group plays about 300 shows a year and
is under the new direction of singer Nick
Hilscher, who holds a bachelor’s of music in
14
October 3 - 9, 2012 l www.JHweekly.com
piano performance from Samford University.
Fans have commented that the band has
been “re-energized” by Hilscher and is as
classy as ever. In 2010, he released a big band
solo album, Young and Foolish, featuring the
music of Hank Williams Sr., Elvis Presley,
Buddy Holly, Roger Miller and others.
According to Larry O’Brien, former musical director of the Glenn Miller Orchestra,
During the era of Miller’s Army
Air Force Band, the group performed more than 800 times in less
than a year. Of these, 500 were
broadcasts heard by millions.
“[Nick] brings so much authenticity to the
role of romantic balladeer.”
Vocalist Eileen Burns will also be featured
prominently during the orchestra show. She
discovered a love for the stage after landing a
small role in the chorus of a local community
theater in South Bend, Ind. Burns was further noticed as a member of the original cast
of “The Midnight Martini Show” at Pickwick
and Frolic in downtown Cleveland – a glitzy,
Rat Pack-style show that ran every Friday and
Saturday night for five years.
“I have a list of all our seasons since 1976
when Pinedale Fine Arts Council (PFAC) presented its first performance, and we have
never had a big band, so we jumped on the
opportunity when it presented itself two
years ago,” said Dana Tully, PFAC executive
director. “I don’t usually like to make a commitment that far in advance especially for a
fall show since we have no idea about homecoming, high school football, etc., which is a
pretty important consideration in a small,
rural community.
“When PFAC first started, the performances were in a gym and lights, etc., were
stored in a footlocker in the basement.
Everything had to be lugged out, set up, broken down and then lugged back again. That
all changed when the auditorium was built
in ’88 or ’89. The school has been wonderful
about continually upgrading the sound and
light equipment so we have been able to
present more technically challenging programs. Not only have our public performances progressed but so have our school
residencies covering dance, film, poetry and
theatre.”
PFAC presents Glenn Miller Orchestra,
7:30 p.m., Friday, in the Pinedale Auditorium. Advance tickets $13, or $7 students.
Add $2 for tickets purchased at the door. 307367-7322; PinedaleFineArts.com.

CD REVIEWS
Babel
Live in New York City
MUMFORD & SONS
PAUL SIMON
JOHN CALE
Leaders of the emo-acoustic, stomp-pop
movement, Mumford & Sons are very much abuzz. From the stories on Babel, the dramatic
quartet of Brits is obviously keen on waiting on,
wishing for, chasing after, building thrones for,
and making promises to, the perfect Christian
lover. Bleeding hearts protract systematically as
the arrangements unfold. The muscular roaring
of frontman Marcus Mumford lets up occasionally instrumental climaxes.
The performances are very strong, just a field
away from the organic-sounding pop and
punk-fused songs that drew me to several
tracks on the debut, Sigh No More. Instead, the
amicable batch is crisp with over-the-top-ness
and shimmering production. The vibe of the
album’s last two tracks (including Paul Simon’s
“The Boxer” featuring dobro master Jerry Douglas) reflects the fatigue of a marathon racer in
the last miles, zoned and adrenaline fatigued,
yet enduring through the best moments.
There’s a lot of road-tested material here – fifteen tracks summing an hour. And legitimately,
it echoes the vibe of Sigh No More, built for an
arena of diehards or a car commercial rather
than an American club crowd. ~ Aaron Davis

GROSSMAN
BAND
The Velvet Underground legend has always
been a musical adventurer. Listening to Cale’s
solo career next to Reed’s albums, it is easy to
see why the Velvets broke up. Despite negligible commercial success, Cale has managed to
be the one who writes better pop songs. Shifty
Adventures in Nookie World, maintains status
quo. Cale’s still stately voice and marvelous
songwriting combine with his need for experimentation and collaboration. The music seems
unlikely to get noticed outside the faithful.
Opener “I Want to Talk to You” bounces along
marvelously thanks to the presence of Danger
Mouse. Not everything works: Cale with autotune vocals. But mostly Cale continues his
streak as the more consistently enjoyable exVelvet. “Vampire Café” focuses on a sort of
world music percussion while “Face to the
Sky,” recalls Cale’s song collaborations with
Eno. One of the best moments here is also
among the simplest, the gentle ballad “Living
with You” which builds to a very Cale-like musical climax of voices (Cale overdubbing with
himself) and sound. – Richard Abowitz

At age 70, an average person might find
themselves settling into a life of leisure, card
games and RV touring. If you’re Paul Simon,
on the other hand, you maintain legendary
music star status with a creative push that
boasts the same edge with which 1986’s
Graceland was carved. Paul Simon Live in
NYC is a live album and concert DVD set,
recorded in June 2011 at NYC’s landmark
Wester Hall. The 20 track set list spans the
range of Simon’s recording career, from “The
Sound of Silence” and the first-white-guytries reggae “Mother and Child Reunion,” to
the infectiously rocking “So Beautiful Or So
What” (from Simon’s 2011 album of the same
title). An eight-piece band that includes
Simon’s Graceland South African bassist
Bakithi Kumalo backs Simon’s non-wavering
vocals. Tony Cedras, touring with Simon
since 1987, proves he can still rip out some
accordion stops with “The Boy In The Bubble.” The recording is clean, and although he
may be eligible for a senior’s discount breakfast at diners across America, this instantly
classic album proves that Simon’s edge has
not faded with age. – Madelaine German

Finding Zen in the process
There are two main themes
that jump out in Todd Kosharek’s
“Crane Series,” silence and illumination, and creativity in a vacuum. Kosharek is one of the most
diligent painters I have met in
Jackson Hole. He is constantly in
his studio tirelessly pursuing the
craft of symbolic photo-realism.
For the last several years he has
used the image of the origami
crane as his main subject matter.
I often think about emerging
artists in Jackson Hole wondering if our isolation is damaging
our practice or enhancing it. The
immense beauty and privilege
we are surrounded by often
leaves me feeling culturally flat.
This is the kind of disgusting
bourgeoisie complaint I often
feel wrecked by. But if artists are
supposed to interpret their surroundings and act as filters of a
sort then it seems we must look
longer and go beneath the
glossy surface. Perhaps one way
to do this is to create a space of
simplicity to be inside of. Visually and mentally, Kosharek does
just this in his latest painting,
“Veneer.”
How many cranes has
Kosharek folded with his hands
and mind’s eye? Does he dream
of paper cranes? In “Veneer,” the
cranes traipse across a hard
wood floor, twist through a nar-
row hallway and mysteriously
turn the corner into an architectural abyss. A window is depicted
at the end of the hallway, which
fills the middle-ground space
with an ombre, white fluorescent
illumination that pitches off the
crisp corners of each crane. I
begin to try and count the cranes
Kosharek has represented and
decide I can’t and that it is inconsequential, but they are
amassed.
A simple wooden chair and
table are neatly arranged at the
end of the hallway and demarcate a certain time period or style
of house/person, as does the decorative stained glass fleur in the
window. A spot, I might add, of
singular warm color. While these
elements demystify the symbolic
space, adding an air of the banal
and a time period, I question how
they compete with the spiritual
simplicity the line of cranes signifies. But perhaps this is
Kosharek’s point – the elements
from everyday life share a space
with the mystical and wondrous.
The origami cranes, depicted

The Bird swoops into No. 1
By Claire Rabun
The Bird is known for many
things: stripper parties, long menu
rants, and a free shuttle to name a
few, but what locals may not know
is that this burger joint is the No. 1
restaurant in Jackson according to
TripAdvisor.com.
With Gregg Lockwood at the
helm for the past couple of years,
The Bird has emerged as one of the
most talked about eateries in town.
Last month, he passed the torch to
longtime employee Will Nowack,
so time will tell if the young new
owner can continue the establishment’s success.
As of press time, 170 TripAdvisor
visitors rated it “excellent,” 38 said
it’s “very good,” 14 called it “average,” four declared it “poor,” and
five deemed it “terrible.”
One diner who had a poor experience said this: “My thoughts after
eating there were … way overpriced for an average burger. Fries
were decent … Service wasn’t
much either … Seems like an old
locals place that doesn’t want
many outsiders.”
This covers many of the complaints logged about The Bird.
Service, execution, price and a locals-only vibe seemed to rule the
comments in the negative category.
To get specific, another Washington commenter who rated The
Bird terrible wrote, “A burger joint
that has problems executing a
burger is always a red flag for me
… We had issues with the service
and with the doneness of the burgers … then you get the bill and it’s
equal to what you would pay at a
far better executed and tastier
place downtown.”
While some of these comments
are fair, I wholeheartedly disagree
with them all. I wouldn’t begin to
claim that The Bird is Jackson’s No.
1 restaurant, but I have not experienced any of these issues, and according to the numbers around
the TripAdvisor ratings, it seems
like the majority of diners would
agree with me.
The service might be laid back
and possibly even a bit slow, but
that’s just the vibe of the place
(let’s please remember that even if
it’s No. 1, it’s still a bar) and the
slowness is usually due to the fact
that the place is packed.
As for the food, everything I’ve
had there has been delicious. Now,
on to price. The Bird uses the highest-quality ingredients and grinds
its own meat, hand cuts its fries,
makes its own ketchup, and even
pickles its own toppings. That
doesn’t come cheap. This might be
a bar, but quality is top priority to
Lockwood and his team, so you are
getting what you pay for. And if you
don’t want to pay up? There’s a $7
basic burger available, so you don’t
have to break the bank.
One Long Island reviewer with a
very good experience said this:
“The Bird is basically a pub with
great views and good burgers and
beer. Don’t expect white linen tables, but their menu tells it like it
is. Opt for the burgers and beers
and you will not be disappointed.”
Another vacationer who rated it
excellent said, “I have been to just
about all the restaurants in Jackson. My all time favorite is The
Bird! They have a relaxed atmosphere, very friendly attitude, great
service and the food is outrageously good!!! Try the Miller’s Pile
of Love for brunch yummy!”
I agree that the German beer selection is delicious, the burgers are
more than you’d expect from a bar.
Several reviews also mentioned the
fact that the burger buns are English muffins, and I must admit I’m
a convert on this front.
Lastly, Sunday brunch must be
mentioned. The above reviewer
brought up the Miller’s Pile of
Love, and I have to admit, it’s one
of my favorite breakfast items in
Jackson. Bottomless mimosas and
bloody Marys for $15 from 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m., and The Pile – a pork
schnitzel – make for a perfect
morning treat.
The Bird is open Monday
through Saturday, 4p.m. to 2 a.m.,
and Sunday from 10 a.m. 7322473; thebirdinjackson.com.

Starman:
David Bowie
There was a time when to a large part of young America and
the glam crowd in England David Bowie might have been the
most interesting man alive: the prettiest star. But while it appeared Bowie rocketed to fame in the early ’70s with Ziggy
Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, Trynka traces a long apprenticeship.
The colorful Bowie comes out of the grey world of post
World War II industrial England. Right off: Trynka captures
facts and explains music but can do nothing that brings
Bowie vividly to life. We do learn about Bowie’s childhood
with a supportive but somewhat ineffectual father and his
strained relationship with his mother and aunts. Yet, in no
way is it clear how this childhood pushed young David Jones
to metamorphosis into David Bowie. And, in Trynka’s telling
Bowie was at best an average talent aided by a massive driving
will to power.
Trynka sees Bowie as a brilliant cipher able to blend pop
culture currents, friends and sounds into statements through
song. Starman’s strongest argument presents Bowie as a fanboy managing to share his obscure loves by repacking them in
commercial versions. Thus Bowie was able to make Ziggy by
mixing some Iggy Pop, a sprinkle of Lou Reed and lots of Marc
Bolan. Trynka also captures Bowie’s playful thefts like “Starman’s” chorus being lifted from “Somewhere over the Rainbow.” Then of course there were the elements of drag and gay
culture that the twice-married Bowie appropriated freely.
Yet, Bowie could also give back. He provided Mott the
Hople’s career a second wind by giving the band the guaranteed hit “All The Young Dudes.” He salvaged the solo career of
Lou Reed by producing Transformer (the disc that offered the
Bowie-esque “Walk on the Wild Side”). And, in the first of
many attempts to salvage the life and career of Iggy Pop,
Bowie mixed (and more importantly offered his brand name)
to Raw Power. Later Bowie would put his own career on hold
to nursemaid two Iggy Pop solo discs, The Idiot and Lust for
Life, as well as tour as the keyboard player in Pop’s band. Yet,
contrary to the image of Bowie as user of others, Trynka argues that in this case, Pop decided he no longer needed
Bowie. Trynka also looks at how Bowie has worked long-term
with collaborators Mick Ronson, Tony Visconti and Brian Eno.
Bowie is occasionally portrayed as deeply involved in the
creation of his music but remarkably able to direct others to
his end. This process is showed most clearly in the making of
Bowie’s hit album and single Let’s Dance with Nile Rodgers.
Rodgers was shocked that Bowie expected the song to be a hit.
But Rodgers describes how by offering musical ideas and
playing songs, Bowie in a sense taught Rodgers how to produce the record into a chart topper.
After Let’s Dance, Bowie famously loses focus producing a
series of mediocre discs before joining the equally mediocre
band Tin Machine for some forgettable recordings. For the
past few years Bowie’s creative output has dropped to nothing. Except for discussing his heart attack and the joy he takes
in parenting, Trynka’s failure to get inside Bowie leaves him at
a loss to explain this suggestion that the Thin White Duke may
provide fans no more than a whimper of an ending.
Trynka alludes a few times to Bowie’s seemingly cocaine inflected interview with Dick Cavett. Trynka mentions much of
what Bowie has to say but he leaves out Cavett’s telling observation that Bowie strikes him as a working actor who found a
good role. – Richard Abowitz

Susie was excited that Abbie Miller, her Shades
Café co-worker, was hired as JH Weekly’s new art
critic. The whole thing miffed me, as I had applied
to be art critic. It’s not that I like writing about art,
or even care about art, it’s just many artists are
women who will do anything to influence a critic
with the expectation of a positive review, and, as I
am willing to be influenced by women who will do
anything, it seemed like a win-win.
“Come on Clyde,” Susie nagged. “Be a good sport
and at least read her article.”
“No,” I pouted.
“It has naked girls in it,” she encouraged.
“Well maybe this one time.”
Miller had written about a nude mural in the
men’s bathroom at Thai Me Up. (For the uninformed, Thai Me Up is a restaurant that serves Thai
food. Thai food is like American food, only different.) Like all art critics, Miller uses words like “Aesthetic movement,” “Victorian avant-garde,”
“reactionary revolution,” and “subtle subversions,”
as if people actually knew what she was talking
about. Miller should review porta potties on local
construction sites. No murals there, real pinup
photographs; now that’s aesthetic, avant-garde, reactionary, and while perhaps not subtle, a visual
delight.
Despite their sophistication, or perhaps because
of it, Miller and other highly-paid art critics have
missed the story of the past half-century: the decline of Jackson as the region’s art Mecca and the
emergence of Hog Island as a force in the contemporary art world. During its artistic height during
the 1960s and ’70s, Jackson created the world’s
finest token tomahawks, stuffed bears and en-
graved shot glasses; art historians compare the
trinket movement in Jackson to the Italian Renaissance, to impressionist Paris of the 1870s and
1880s, to the Harlem Renaissance.
But creative energy seems a random gift, like the
affection of a mysterious but treacherous lover,
touching a specific community or country for only
a brief instant. One moment society revels in her
caress then, as though only an apparition, she is
gone, leaving the people clinging to the past like a
bewildered infant waking from an exotic dream.
Italy, creator of modern civilization, is crumbling. Paris is full of French people; New York is
stuck with the Jets, and Jackson’s famous stuffedbear galleries have been replaced by sushi shops,
nine of them total. Ugh!
While Jackson’s art community retreats into exhausted intellectual posturing by panel discussions, their reality blurred by latté and microbrew
beer buzzes, Hog Island moves boldly into the new
millennium.
Like ancient Greece, Hog Island is a crossroads,
Game Creek on one side, Hoback Nation on the
other, yet it’s secluded, surrounded by river, able to
build on its own traditions but close enough to Wilson to understand the concept of self-importance.
Hog Island is moving beyond neo-postmodernexpressionism, beyond conceptualism’s mere allegorical imagery with its weary overuse of cliché
symbolism that has enjoyed an ill-advised and
hopefully brief resurgence among pseudo-elite
Westbankers.
Hog Island trailer prices have yet to reach levels
seen in other arty conclaves, apartments in Chelsea,
N.Y., or townhomes in the Marina District of San
Francisco; however, savvy real-estate investors are
rushing to get in on the ground floor.
