SAVING TREES IN JACKSON HOLE
UNTIE THOSE ROOTBALLS
TIP OF THE WEEK:
Each week we receive a call from a homeowner with a very similar common problem. A landscaper has planted a
tree or trees a number of years ago. Anywhere from two to seven years pass, depending on the species, a very valuable,
vibrant, healthy tree suddenly dies. Landscapers are failing to untie the balling twine wrapped around the base of the
trees. As the tree establishes itself, and the base caliper of the trees increases in diameter, the balling twine girdles
the cambium layer at the base of the tree, cutting off the flow of nutrients to the canopy. Secondary stress-related diseases (or insects) such as canker, borers, bark beetles and spider mites might also attack the tree.
If you have a tree that for no obvious apparent reason appears stressed, unhealthy and in decline, dig down with a
hand trowel around the base and check for girdling caused by balling twine. If you think you might have a problem, we
will provide a complimentary inspection of your trees, free of charge!
Now scheduling tree/shrub one-year time-release deep root feeding.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK
Benjamin R. Bombard
Why howdy there, Jackson Hole
As our editor Matthew Irwin
pointed out a few weeks ago, my
byline has appeared throughout
editions of this paper for the last
month and change. I’ve run into
some of you around town, read
and responded to some of your
comments online. I’m genuinely
eager to broaden my network
around here and to hear and help
tell the stories that make Jackson
Hole the quintessentially Western
gestalt that it is.
A little about me. Quickly.
Grew up in Salt Lake. No, I’m not
Mormon. Catholic schooled. A bit
of trouble here and there. College
back in Vermont to get the hell
out of Salt Lake. I’ve lived in
seven different areas in the last
seven years, including Mali, West
Africa (you might notice the
bracelets on my arms). Had my
share of love and loss. Worked at
weekly community papers in the
Bay Area and at an NPR affiliate
station in SLC. I’m supposed to
be in Turkmenistan right now –
long story – but I met a beautiful,
amazing girl, found this terrific
job and made some lemonade
from the bushel of lemons life
dealt me last year past. Voilà!
I have a few working theories
about journalism that I think
might give you a good idea of my
approach to this job. I entered
this profession out of a deepseated belief that journalism re-
ally can improve the world, speak
truth to power and give voice to
the voiceless. I also think of journalism as a public service. That
means that I work for you as
much as I do for my editor and
my publisher. Journalism should
be a collaborative exercise involving the input and criticism of
an experienced, perceptive and
engaged editorial team as well as
I entered this profession
out of a deep-seated
belief that journalism
really can improve
the world.
the scrutiny and feedback of an
astute reading public. So I want
to invite you to email, call or talk
to me on the street with any critical feedback and/or story ideas.
Like a lot of dedicated journalists, I still think people want to
read engaging long-form narrative, but I also believe that narrative has to reevaluate how it talks
with readers, especially given
how people experience, shape
and use language in the 21st century. That isn’t to say that narrative should be simplified, but that
it should be more personal, more
like me sitting here telling you a
story, not being some pontificating know-it-all condescending to
reveal to the public everything
I’ve learned about SPET or public
trust lands or, ugh, Sarah Palin.
I took this job over a master’s
program in journalism in New
York City, the Mecca of media.
You might think this naïve, but it
was exactly what I needed. I am
intensely dedicated to the West,
and I think Jackson embodies
the multifarious nature of the
New West in so many ways. It is
at once anachronistic and
timely, cultured and wild,
worldly and hyper-local. The
other night, while sleeping out
on the lawn under the stars, the
dogs kicked up a barking fit and
before I knew it, a bull moose
stampeded across the property.
And a week ago, I was sitting at
the Center for the Arts with my
girlfriend taking in a rehearsal
by the Chamber Ensemble of
the NYC ballet. Where else can
you boast of such wildly different experiences?
Most importantly, I've met
beautiful, intriguing and friendly
people during my short time
here. I often hitchhike to and
from work and around town, and
I invariably end up in the passenger seat listening to the driver’s
stories and making quick connections that I hope to deepen in
the coming months and years.
Feel free to call me at 732-0299

There is a rumor going around that the powers that be are discussing
ways to reduce the amount of trash being disposed throughout Teton
County. One of the proposals is to charge per the amount of trash each
family disposes of each week. Bags of different colors denoting cost of
disposing. Let’s get real!
If the community is limited as per amounts of trash it's allowed to get
rid of the backlash will fall on any dumpster that is paid for by home
owner's associations and by businesses.
The way to handle this situation is through the younger generation.
For instance...If our schools would conduct field day trips to the Sublette
County landfill and let the students observe the process that occurs in
order to eliminate our daily garbage, the lesson (I believe will leave a lasting impression) and they will think before not recycling.
Maybe students should be aware how other countries handle their
trash and how methane that is a by-product can be used as a source of
energy. Education is the best tool in order to address this problem
and should be attempted before creating some huge bureaucracy.
In fact, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for the members of the Town Council
and the County Commission to take their own field trip to the land fill to
understand the scope of the problem so they won't continue to come up
with ideas that really stink.

A President’s promise
There are those whom may scoff at President Obama's recent oration
regarding his defense and support of the planned erection of a mosque in
the vicinity of "ground zero" in lower Manhattan.
Opinion of this issue has a pendulum effect between the facts that the
first amendment in the Bill Of Rights legally permits such an act to take
place, yet as the pendulum swings, it is of reputable knowledge that
mosques have often been known to be covert headquarters for the planning and execution of illicit acts of terror.
I personally am of the mind that despite the presumed innocence of
intent in this such said mosque construction it is in poor taste of those
that have chosen such a location of sensitivity. Similarly, although it has
been 69 years since, it may yet be an insensitive insult to some were a
pagoda to be erected on the shore adjacent to the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor.
On a cold January day in 2009, Barack Obama was sworn into the office of Presidency promising to defend and protect the Constitution of
the United States. Being that the aforesaid first amendment is a part of
this said Constitution, in supporting this mosque, the President is simply
fulfilling that oath.

Time to turn on the lights
Most of us are in the groove now, getting out of work and slam-dunking a ride up on the pass or finding
some close singletrack to get your fix. The great thing is that August and September can be some of the
best riding months in the area. However, as you've probably noticed the days are starting to get shorter and
shorter, but fear not. Night riding is just as fun as riding during the day, and can bring an entirely new experience to your ride. Find yourself a burly headlamp and a bright light for your bike and you’re good to go.
School is just around the corner too. Remember, those new clothes you’re looking at aren’t half as cool
as new bike gear. Fitzgerald’s has everything you need, from kid's bikes of every size - to helmets, lights,
locks and even racks to put books on. Biking to school cuts down on nasty car emissions, reduces childhood
obesity and promotes independence. Besides, what's more cool than school? Biking to School!
And don't forget, Fitzgerald’s Bicycles has two more bike-ins this month. Check out Ghostbusters and the
original Karate Kid on Tuesday nights at Snow King. All of the proceeds from these events go to Friends of
Pathways, KHOL, the Teton Artlab and Treefight! No need to bring any food or drinks because our good
friends at Pica's Taqueria, Snake River Brewing and Pabst Blue ribbon have you covered. See you on Tuesday!

“Annie Oakley was the 19th
century equivalent of Angelina
Jolie,” wrote Anton Anderssen
for eTurboNews. Anderssen,
sometimes known as “Mr. Polo,”
took the opportunity to celebrate Oakley’s birthday (Aug. 13)
by traveling to Jackson Hole to
see the local production of Annie
Get Your Gun.
Anderssen was tipped off by
old-time locals to eat breakfast
at the Virg and grab dinner at
Bubba’s, and stay away from
‘dinner shows’ where the food
was “pretty bad at all of them,”
Anderssen wrote. Still, Anderssen wanted to catch Annie at
the JH Playhouse.
“I made numerous attempts
to reach their public relations
representative to get at least
some orientation to the historic
1916 building which houses the
theatre. Emails and faxes were
ignored. When I tried telephoning to find out who handled
journalist inquiries, the box office manager was pretty nasty to
me. He claimed he would call
back with the information, but
blew me off.”
Miffed, Anderssen turned to a
trusted source: JH Weekly. He
read Matthew Irwin’s review of
the production which included:
“tin-can hollowness … curtains
are getting a little worn … too
big for the playhouse’s britches
… makes a cast of skilled young
actors look like they’re performing for their parents in a suburban basement.”
“Ouch! I guess I didn’t miss
much,” Anderssen wrote after
skipping the show.
Snake surfing
“A surfboard atop a vehicle,
700 miles from the nearest
ocean, is your first clue that the
surf's up in Wyoming.” So starts
the sweet piece CNN did on
boarding the Lunch Counter.
Check it out at:
www.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/08
/09/wyoming.river.surfing/.
World-class photographer
Rich Addicks wrote the piece for
CNN. He called Lunch Counter,
“Mother Nature's version of a
washing machine on steroids.”
Some river surfers ‘hang ten’ for
up to 20 minutes in the hydraulic, especially when flows
are at prime, around 10,000 to
12,000 cfs. Addicks said most locals are aware of the subtle etiquette governing the length of
time one has with the wave before surrendering the surf to another.
Addicks also dug up some cool
history: “According to local lore,
ski bums from California started
surfing Lunch Counter in the
late 70s. Back then they had to
scramble their way down a steep
hill to get to the river.”

Brits and bankers
Annie Oakley she’s not, but
transplanted British writer
Melissa Whitworth is trying her
best to fit in out West. Writing for
the Telegraph (London, UK), she
recounted her experiences while
in Jackson Hole this summer.
“I have fired my first gun (a
horrifying experience) and hiked
through mountains (having a
panic attack halfway up),” she
wrote.
Fellow Telegraph scribe Jack
Quinn also previewed the upcoming Central Bankers Symposium taking place this weekend
in Jackson Hole. He said Ben
Bernanke will kick off the get-together with a closed meeting
speech entitled “Lessons from a
year in crisis.”
Since 1978, the Federal Reserve has hosted, what Whitworth dubbed, “a corporate

NEWS BRIEFS

By Benjamin R. Bombard
Whole Grocer’s Bob Arndt typically works 72 hours a week, but not much longer.
Whole Grocer changes hands
Bob and Melanie Arndt have agreed to sell the local
grocery store to another family of valley residents.
It’s a Monday afternoon, and
Bob Arndt is sitting at his desk on
the hidden second floor of the
Jackson Whole Grocer. His
phones are ringing constantly.
Requests for price checks and
cash register assistance bellow
over the intercom and resonate
in this tight space. To Arndt’s
right is a window that overlooks
the produce and bulk foods section of the store, where customers knock on melons,
squeeze avocados and pick
through piles of onions. He’s
looked out this window for five
years.
Come September, Arndt will
vacate his desk, cluttered as it is
with the usual business sundries,
along with a tin of Middle Eastern saffron, packages of guavaflavored gummy pandas and
other haute cuisine treats. That’s
because Ardnt and his wife,
Melanie, have agreed to sell the
Whole Grocer to another resident
family.
In the five years since the
Arndts purchased Jackson Food
Town and renamed it, they’ve
brought many changes to the
store. They incorporated their
Harvest Organic Bakery, Café and
Market business into the Whole
Grocer, moved sections of the
store here and there, gathered
Choice Meats, Hole Fish and Holistic Habitat under one roof and
put in a juice tonic, smoothie and
espresso bar.
“Customers are always asking
us what we’ll change next. We’ve
been asked all summer what
we’re going to change in the fall,
so this is the next change,” said
Arndt, referring to the contracted
sale to soon-to-be-owner Jeff
8 August 18 - 24, 2010
Rice for an undisclosed amount.
Arndt has put his body and
soul into the Whole Grocer. He
typically works six days a week,
from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. In the first
three years that he ran the store,
he worked from 90 to 100 hours a
week, he said. He calls it a labor
of love. There’s a sticker on a file
cabinet in his office that reads:
“My job ATE my life.” Even sitting
“For years I’ve put my
work over and above
everything else.”
-Bob Arndt
with him for just an hour, it’s
clear that his is a stressful, demanding job, and it’s a testament
to his genetic resilience that his
shoulder-length brown hair
doesn’t show a hint of gray. “But
I’ve got a few gray hairs in my
beard here,” Arndt said as he
rubbed his hands through his
modest face scruff the hue of
wood mulch.
Arndt said it wasn’t his intention to quickly turn the Whole
Grocer over for a profit. Maybe 20
years down the road, sure, when
his hair finally turns gray. He has
a long background in food preparation, service and management,
and the grocery store was another step on that career ladder.
Rice contacted Arndt from out of
the blue and offered to buy the
grocery store at the beginning of
the summer. After giving it due
consideration and discussing the
potential sale with his wife and
family, Arndt decided it was the
best thing to do.
“For years, I’ve put my work
over and above everything else in
my life, and this is a great opportunity for me to shift my priorities,” Arndt said. “This is a
wonderful and much needed
chance for me to make some
healthy lifestyle changes.”
“I have a lot of emotion tied in
with this business,” Arndt continued. “I’ve put a lot of energy
and time into it, but it’s easier to
sell because I know Jeff will do a
great job and carry on what we
started.”
Last week, Arndt held several
meetings with employees to
break the news of the sale to
them. When asked what their reaction was, he deliberated for
some time. “Most people didn’t
see it coming,” he said eventually. “But everybody was excited
for me personally.” Arndt said
there are no concerns about job
security for the store’s current
employees.
Rice is a frequent customer at
the Whole Grocer and he
founded the Internet service
provider OneWest.net. He was
out of town and unavailable for
comment at press time. Rice said
in a press release disseminated
by the Whole Grocer that he and
his wife Darcy want to build on
the store’s successes and its
place in the community and
“continue to improve the store’s
offerings.” Rice envisions the
store as a family business that he,
his wife and his four boys can all
take a hand in.
Ardnt said he will make himself available as a consultant for
six months after Rice takes over
the store in order to help the
store make a clean ownership
transition. And Ardnt has a very
simple plan of action for what
he’ll do come Sept. 1. “My plan is
to sleep in,” he said. JHW
A “traffic safety” checkpoint sieve set up by Grand Teton National
Park law enforcement over the weekend was “really successful.” That’s
according to park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs. There was some suspicion lingering around the JH Weekly newsroom about the timing of the
checkpoints, which were conducted on the same weekend as the highly
anticipated Robert Zimmerman concert at Snow King and the free-entrance weekend at Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
We wondered if the checkpoints were an insidious attempt to recoup
some money lost by letting thousands of people into the parks for free
for two days, but Skaggs said that the checkpoints being conducted on
free-entrance weekend were “totally coincidental.” She did state that
the Park “shoots for a busy weekend” on which to conduct the vehicle
inquisitions at the south boundary of the park on Highway 89 between
10 p.m. and 2 a.m. Given the low number of citations issued – only six
for drug and alcohol related offenses out of 497 total stops – it appears
that our concern was unwarranted. But we doubt that officers pulling
people over to inspect them for drunkenness, vehicle registration and
auto insurance received “overwhelmingly positive comments” from the
drivers they were hassling.
Forty-eight warnings were issued to drivers, mostly for not wearing
seatbelts. Ten people decided to eschew the checkpoint, turn tail and
head back to Jackson. Skaggs said officers did not pursue those drivers.
Maybe JHPD officers were prowling the northern edge of Jackson to
catch them.
Bush backs Simpson – Colin, not Homer
George H. W. Bush, 41st POTUS, has entered the political endorsement fracas in Wyoming. He has bucked Sarah “Mama Grizz” Palin’s pick
of Rita Meyer for governor and has placed his bet on Colin Simpson.
That might be because Bush the elder and Alan Simpson, Colin’s dad,
were chummy back in the late 80s. Bush even offered Papa Simpson the
vice presidency when he entered the presidential race in ‘88, but thenSenator Simpson turned the offer down because he believed his prochoice stance on abortion and his criticism of veteran’s bilking the
system would sink Bush’s presidential boat.
In a written statement, Bush said he’s been following Simpson’s work
as Speaker of the Wyoming House of Representatives and commended
his understanding of
the energy industry
in Wyoming. Bush
wrote the letter on
the request of Simpson’s campaign after
making a $500 campaign contribution.
Joe Milczewski,
Simpson’s campaign
manager, complained
in the past about the
reliability of the
George H.W. Bush Colin Simpson
Casper Star-Tribune’s
poll results that put
Simpson in third place in the Republican gubernatorial primary. He also
put up a stink about Meyer receiving an enormous campaign contribution. Maybe this news will give Milzcewski something to not bitch about.
There are low-income students in town
We were surprised by news last week that Teton County School District will receive $1.3 million dollars in a lump sum as part of the federally funded School Improvement Fund, which, according to an
Associated Press clip “provides money to districts and schools with high
numbers or high percentages of low-income children.” We wanted to
know how a school district in the county with the highest average per
capita income could meet such criteria. The metrics and equations governing how schools fall into certain categories is possibly more elaborate
and complex than we have space for here, so suffice to say that, yes,
TCSD does meet requirements for Title I funds, meaning that Jackson,
Colter and Alta elementary schools have sufficient numbers of “low-income” students and are eligible to receive free or reduced cost lunches.
According to officials at the Wyoming Department of Education, the
School Improvement grant was specifically awarded to Colter, which
qualified as a Tier III school – again, trust us on this; it’s too complicated
to get into here. It received the grant after monies were dispersed to all
eligible Tier I and Tier II schools.
Pier Trudelle, TCSD’s grant manager, said that once the funds are distributed, the district will provide additional support to students struggling in reading. JHW

Andy Ripps’ building saga
By Jake Nichols
As Cache Creek LLC, Andy Ripps filed a Final Platt
application for his condominium project on January
4, 2008. Eleven days later, the town imposed a ban
on so-called ‘condo-izations,’ fearing that shortterm rental units (apartments) were being flipped by
developers who were issuing eviction notices to
dishwashers over fruit salad spreads at condominium open houses. The moratorium was eventually lifted in February 2009 after the condo market in
Jackson showed the vital signs of Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Ripps then had to retrace his way through the
government gauntlet of building approval only to
find in the meantime that affordable housing mitigation rates had jumped from 15 to 25 percent. For
Ripps, it meant his calculated fee-in-lieu for eight
condos and a commercial element would seriously
hitch his giddy-up.
“I feel the applicant was stuck. He bought these
units and got caught in two different scenarios,”
Greg Miles said. Ripps argued that, thanks to the
new steep requirements and the current condo sales
climate, he and everyone else would be screwed by
offering one unit as affordable housing. “The current housing situation shows fairly affordable market housing available now,” Ripps said. “If I put
these two-bedroom, one-bath condos on the market
now – the least expensive two-bedroom condo in
Jackson is listed now at $139,000 – well, an affordable housing condo right now would go for more
than a free market [condo].”
Currently, the Housing Authority can’t give away
condos at Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis. Five units
are available first-come-first-served, no lottery, for
anyone who fills out an application and drops their
dog off at the shelter before they move in. The inlieu fee for the proposed condo-ization at 242 E.
Broadway, if based on today’s requirements, would
run Ripps $203,874. When the applicant did the ‘figgerin’ it came to $19,958. That’s where his calculator
stopped agreeing with Melissa Turley’s.
Turley acknowledged Ripps was the victim of
unique circumstances, but said she couldn’t justify
cutting him a break on the fee-in-lieu. Mayor Barron, however, agreed with Miles. Even Save Historical Jackson Hole’s Armond Acri gave his blessing,
calling it a gray area. Ripps’ double request to build
and bill himself less for affordable housing passed 50 and 4-1, with Turley opposed to the latter.
Who let the dogs out?
Remember Karen Keckley? She drew a winning
ticket to move into one of the 22 affordable units at
JH Golf & Pony Show but was told she would have
to nix Fido first. She vowed to fight and fight she
did. Appearing before the council Monday night
was the first step in having the prohibition of dogs
removed. A public hearing before the County Planning & Zoning Commission is next, scheduled for
September 13. Expect Gail Jensen to be there arguing that area moose don’t do so well with dogs attached to their legs.
Expect the new dog park at the Grove property to
officially open on August 26 at 5:30 p.m. PAWS rep

Local writer Jayme Feary could
empathize with had-it-up-to-here
flight attendant Steven Slater when
he quit his job with jetBlue in a dramatic fashion last week. Slater
reamed out a belligerent passenger
over the intercom and exited the
airplane on the inflatable yellow
evacuation slide.
In 1998, with frustration piling
upon frustration, Feary was fed up
with his life as a corporate
coach/consultant. “I had no life. No
quality of life,” he said. The lumber
fell on the camel’s back when Feary
missed a business flight. “I threw
my watch, pager and cell phone in
the garbage, bought a ticket home
and told them to send my suitcase
wherever it was headed,” Feary said
when recalling the fateful day when
he gave up corporate life and decided to seek out a life as a writer.
Last week, Feary moved one important step closer to that life when
he was named a recipient of a
Wyoming Arts Council creative writing fellowship in creative nonfiction. Fellowships and other writing
awards are an undeniable part of
the writing game. They create opportunities for writers to receive
wider recognition and attention
from readers, writing agents and
publicists. They also typically come
with some modest financial award,
which can help free up valuable
time to write. In Feary’s case, he

Feary is working on a nonfiction
book about a horse and mule packing journey he made solo along the
grueling Continental Divide trail in
the summer of 2006. He submitted a
chapter of that manuscript for consideration to the Arts Council. That
chapter details the trials that confronted Feary, his stock and his dog
Woof in getting from Trail Pass on
the Montana-Idaho border to Gibbonsville, Idaho for resupply.
Lee Gutkind, the founder of the
magazine Creative Nonfiction and
the leading proponent of the literary genre of the same name, judged
the arts council writing contest. He
said that Feary’s submission was
“vivid and exciting,” and that “the
real skill was in being able to sustain a long narrative with several
strings of ideas weaving through it,
all wound together very tightly.”
Feary appreciated hearing
Gutkind’s favorable review of his
work, but, he said, “I respond to any
criticism similarly – I tuck it under
my hat and just keep on writing.
You can’t get too high or low in this
business.”
The life of a writer is lived in the
margins of the working world. Very
few writers are able to pay the bills
with writing alone, and they tend to
squeeze in writing during the off
hours. Feary is no different. He has
worked myriad odd jobs during his 10
years in Jackson, and the $3,000 financial award will help pay some living
expenses, giving him more time to
pursue his passion for writing.

Color me impressed
Heather James Gallery brings
blue chip art to Jackson Hole.
by Aaron Wallis
Most cities under a half-million lack a museum collection showcasing the history of modern art to the depth
achieved by Heather James Fine Art in its two new exhibitions “Masters of Impressionism and Modernism” and
“Forest for the Trees.”
In college, most people chose a major that would enable them to make money in the real world. Unlike most
people, I took nothing but useless liberal arts classes including 29 credits of art history and critical theory. If you
missed out in college, take heart, it’s never too late to get your culture on. Visiting Heather James will provide a
comprehensive survey of modern art history.
Let’s start at the beginning of modern art — Impressionism. At the time of Impressionism’s inception, painters
did not show brush strokes any more than women showed their thighs in public. Perspective, objects or people
receding in space according to a mathematical formula had set the expectation. Avant-garde Western artists influenced by Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints discarded the illusion of depth in painting. We can see this first
important step in modern art including works by Pierre Augustine Renoir, Claude Monet and Edgar Degas, now
at Heather James. The Monet, from his late water lilies period, predicts later abstract brush strokes and bares a
notable resemblance to the movement in Jackson Pollock’s work. His impaired vision also resulted in some of the
most colorful paintings in the history of art.
In his “Danseuses au Foyer,” Degas collaged two pieces of paper leaving an exposed seam on the left margin,
which was a shocking shift from the highly polished work of the day. The subject matter, a dancer changing
clothes, was considered quite erotic and inappropriate. I’m not sure we can appreciate, in the era of “sexting” and
Internet pornography, the controversy aroused by this work. Henri Matisse also exposed his labors on a wonderfully tactile and modeled bronze. Whereas the bronzes of the time had smooth and highly refined and polished
surfaces, Matisse left his fingerprints on the body of his subject.
As Impressionism gained a measure of public acceptance, artists again pushed against the popular taste of the
time. The Fauves were a short-lived art movement most active between 1905 and 1907. Fauve translates in English
to ‘wild beasts’ and is reflective of the public perception of the movement. Matisse, Andres Derain and Kees Van
Dorgan are among the notable artists in the movement. Heather James gallery owner Jim Thompson was exceptionally proud of Van Dorgan’s “Recuerdo de Toledo.” According to Thompson, this work is important to art history because it is one of the first examples of arbitrary color in place of flesh tone. The nude girl in “Recuerdo de
Toledo” has a large amount of green in her skin. Personally, I think she’s a babe, and I would totally date a woman
with green skin, if she was smart, cultured, funny and had a great ass. I am starting to sound like a skipping CD,
but the public of the early 1900s considered these paintings ugly.
If modern art is born in the Impressionist era, then Surrealism and Cubism constitute its adolescence. Surrealism is not quite as much fun as Dada, but always good for a laugh. Embracing nonsensical concepts is essential
to the development of art. Art does not have to do anything, be useful or even make sense. These are all completely
irrational demands to make of art. Beauty is nice, but relative and not necessarily a criteria for judging art. Art of
the early modern period was trying to make sense of the modern world, and it changed to reflect the uncertainty
of the times.
I think many people feel more comfortable with classical art because it reflects the certainty of the time it was
made. Just as modern art makes many people uncomfortable because it reflects a time of uncertainty. Many people, artists included, began to feel technology was not necessarily making the world a better place. Honestly, I
can’t fault people for preferring a colorful landscape to a horse shot full of arrows in a tank of formaldehyde. But
I am getting ahead of myself – we will get to Postmodernism soon enough, so try to contain your excitement.
There are two excellent examples of surrealism hanging in the back gallery at Heather James. Ferdinand Leger

was one of the early members of the Surrealist
movement. His piece ”La Racine Noire et Fragment D’Objects” shows brightly colored amorphic abstract shapes that could be nylons,
wheels and god only knows what, converging
into a non-sensual structure. The piece uses
bright, simple, unmixed colors straight out of a
box of crayons. The color scheme of “Quand
L’Heure Sonnera” by French painter Rene´
Magritte is more subdued. A gray landscape recedes towards a blue sky. The bust of a woman
is hanging out in the middle of this empty gray
landscape. A little dirigible is floating across the
sky going nowhere in particular. This painting
makes absolutely no sense, but that is the entire
point. Magritte intentionally juxtaposed nonsensical objects that do not belong together.
Four amazing Picasso’s are spread between
the galleries at Heather James. Although none
of them are from Picasso’s Cubist body of work.
According to Thompson, Heather James acquired then sold Picasso’s work from the seminal NY Amory Art Show of 1913. The Amory
show inspired an entire generation of abstract
American artists. Including Max Weber, Milton
Avery and Hans Hoffman, who are also represented by work at Heather James. After seeing
the versatility of Picasso’s work, it becomes
readily apparent why Picasso is arguably the
most important figure in the history of art.
Picasso painted “untitled male figure” in his
teens. The young Picasso was already technically superior to the vast majority of Renaissance Painters. Picasso then invents his more
popular Cubist work but eventually switches up
styles again. Picasso abandoned Cubism’s
faceting of planes and replaced it with expressionistic and occasionally childlike drawing.
“Portrait de Mousquetaire Triste” is an exceptional aquatint from 1968. Rosin is used to create a resist on a metal etching plate. The plate is etched in acid and then printed off a press. The bold and expressive
lines are some of the most powerful in Picasso’s 100,000-plus body of work.
“Homme à L’agneau, Mangeur de Pastèque et Flûtiste” is typical of many late Picasso works, embracing childlike
technique, grotesquely oversized feet with anatomically incorrect toes and a head scrunched
up against the top margin because he ran out of space on the paper. The line work is simple
childlike out lines with a brown crayon. But these few lines say so much.
“Forest through the Trees” picks up after the Modernist period ends, transitioning into the
Postmodern. Organized by gallery curator Chip Tom, much of the work is from the Postmodern period though it also reflects Asian sensibilities. Postmodernism is a critique of modernism, or more accurately, in a state of continual self-critique. Modernism believed it was
heading towards something better, or noble. But once art for art’s sake was validated and accepted, there was nowhere left to go but looking inward on art and creating art that critiques
the process.
If that sounds confusing and makes no sense, blame the French. Hey France, we won the
war on terror, freed Iraq, liberated Afghanistan and everybody loves us. Who’s smart now?
French Structuralist thinking, notably Michelle Foucault, Jacques Derrida and Roland Barthes
plays a major role in the foundation of postmodern art theory. I am not going to attempt to
explain the connection between Structuralism and Postmodernism because anyone still reading by this point will starting think about what he’s missing on “Jersey Shore.” To sum up, Postmodern art embraces processes of structure, self-critique, linguistic interpretation and
inherent architecture.
Tom describes his curatorial impetus for “Forest through the Trees” as the “architecture of
nature,” or the inherent structure of natural objects not the objects themselves. Much of the
work is either by Asian artists or reflects an Eastern influence through repetition of patterns
and structure in the natural world. It’s a very Zen sensibility.
I ran into one of the exhibiting artists, Robert Ketchum when he popped by the Artlab to check out my silkscreening. Ketchum’s piece “Golden Light in Late Evening” began as a collection of photos, then he hired 10 master
Chinese embroidery artists to painstakingly recreate the image over two years. The artists split a strand of silk
into 42 different strands during the weaving process. When one considers the man-hours to create a work that
embraces the materials of nature to create structure reflective of nature, the $90,000 price tag seems like a bargain.
And I’m sure sewing for Ketchum beats working in the Nike Factory.
Fine Fieldmen’s painting is imbued with complex layered surfaces. This is the type of painterly work that references
the process of painting and really starts me salivating. Fieldmen’s work is based on the structure of the tree. Bright
and varied colors are layered with vertical brush strokes creating work while abstract, is also decidedly reminiscent
of tree trunks. The process involves media including oil, ink, Asphatum on Mylar on linen on paper. The result is a
wonderfully layered and complex surface film that captures and refracts light like the best Impressionist work. Fieldman’s work was acquired from the Ace Gallery in Los Angeles; I wandered by Ace a few years ago and I feel very fortunate to be seeing work of that caliber in Jackson.
Japanese artist Kaoru Mansour also uses a complex layering process to create a structure for her surfaces. Delicate
bits of botanical elements are collaged in layers with encaustic wax process over panel. The mixed media result is
work of intrinsic beauty. The pomegranates in her painting “Iro” are exact botanical specimens but are separated
from the inherent clutter of their natural environment. The result is a wonderfully integrated organic expression that

takes nature from its natural element and allows us to appreciate
it in a new light.
I enjoy painting that references nature but also moves beyond
standard perspectives like “Skyward View” by Matty Bylos. The
point of view is from the perspective of lying on the forest floor
looking skyward. Bylos uses Prismacolor wax pencil and layers of
acrylic paint to create a mysterious and ethereal surface. Light
greens and blacks are obscured beneath washes of white, and covered with dark washes again. The structure of the branches and
the needles frames the border with a patch of sky showing
through in the center. The
painting captures the
misty, ethereal feeling of a
damp forest environment.
At $4,000, “Clearing Skyward View” is quite a bargain. I was tempted to
wipe out my savings with
one purchase, but I figured
as great as Matty’s work is,
it won’t nourish me thorough the long cruel Jackson Winter.
Other highlights not to
miss are the botanical
work of Penelope Gottlieb
who recreates extinct
plants in her work. And
the exquisite basket collection by master Japanese craftsmen. Highly regarded in their native
Japan some of these artists are bestowed with the title “National
Treasure”. Again this work starts with natural elements and structure but transcends the limitations of the craft to create something magical. As I alluded to earlier many museums don’t have
this kind of varied high quality work. Work that traces the entire
development of modern art and the direction contemporary art
is heading now. The work at Heather James presents a comprehensive survey of the last century and a half of art history. I feel
extremely fortunate to have work of this quality in a county of
20,000. It’s practically unheard of and a rare opportunity that
should not be missed. JHW

Emerging from the shadows
By Kayla
Diane Sanders
Wednesday 8.18
Self-taught artist September
Vhay has a knack for utilizing
white space. While she started out
with a bachelor’s of architecture
from the University of Oregon
and worked for 10 years in Jackson Hole as an architect, she also
painted on the side and carried
her architectural skills into her art
using light, structure and composition to create gracefully haunting images of animals.
But architecture is not her sole
influence. She is also influenced
by her great-grandfather Guzton
Borglum, a sculptor made famous
for sculpting Mount Rushmore.
However, Vhay was more influenced by his less famous work
that decorated her grandmother's
home.
Vhay paints with watercolors
and oils to produce rich colors
and movement. “The fragility and
spontaneity are what draw me to
watercolor and it is the saturation
of color and the texture that draw
me to oils,” she said. She uses this
medium to create images of
‘Moonstruck’ by September Vhay.
horses and other ranch life,
wildlife, and most recently, orchids.
“It is the shape and color of the
white petals of the cattlega orchid
from which I find inspiration,”
Vhay said. “I enjoy painting white
objects in watercolor as it is the
white of the paper which becomes the object so you aren't actually painting the object but the
area surrounding it and the shadows cast upon it.”
While she is known for painting
horses, in her upcoming exhibit
“Essence,” there will also be images of the longhorn, which she
finds interesting due to their intimidating look and gentle nature.
In the press release, Vhay confirms her fascination with this
large creature: “In one painting,
this gentleness is expressed in the
bulls eye, yet his horns let you
know that in an instant he would
have no problem protecting himself.”
But of all the animals featured
in the exhibit, the most shocking
to me is the magpie. I had always
known these birds to be pests, but
Vhay is able to present them in a
new light. “Magpies are one of my
all time favorites birds to paint
Who you gonna call?
THEATER
In 2002, five motivated
artists sat in the town library
(until they were kicked out at
closing time) to create a nonprofit theater company. These
artists wanted more than selfexpression; they wanted to
create work for themselves on
the stage. One of the five
artists, Eve Bernfield, wrote in
Bogeyman mask
her manifesto, “As humans
we tell stories to learn about ourselves, to make
sense of our world. This is the life of the theatre.”
Now, eight years later, Riot Act Inc. has made a
name for itself in Teton County by providing quality performances at an affordable price. This has
been made possible by its close relationship with
the community. That relationship continues to
build as its upcoming fundraiser, Ignight A Riot,
invites Jackson Hole to enjoy a night of live music
by the Jason Fritts Trio and an excerpt from the
company’s original play, The Bogeyman. While I
typically do not condone riots, I will make an exception for this group of ambitious artists since
there is beer and live music involved.
“Ignight A Riot” is 7:30 to 11 p.m. August 23 At
Ignight Restraunt. $15; $10 advance. www.riotactinc.org. 203-9067.
because of their shape, their color
and their personality,” she said.
Vhay is an up-and-coming
artist who is garnering recognition with national awards and exhibits. She was recently chosen by
Southwest Art Magazine to be
profiled in its November Issue in
the magazine’s “21 over 31” feature, which presents its chosen 21
artists over 31 years of age to
watch as their careers emerge.
September Vhay's opening reception is, 5 to 8 p.m., Thursday
and Trio Fine Art, 545 North
Cache Street.

FILM
Although the movie came out before I was even conceived, Ghostbusters (along with the
Ninja Turtles) was a staple of my childhood. After YouTubing the trailer to refresh my memory, I was taken back to sitting on my parents' mustard-yellow carpet with a bowl of mac-ncheese and watching Bill Murray carry around a laser gun that looked like a vacuum
cleaner. Now, the opportunity has come to bike over to Snow King, drink a few brews, donate extra cash to the Teton Artlab, and watch the most unscary scary movie of all time. Not
only is this better than eating mac-n-cheese alone, but it is also a great chance to be a part
of the community. If that isn't convincing enough, I'll leave you with a quote that epitomizes the ridiculousness of this movie: “Try to imagine life as we know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.”
Ghostbusters plays at dusk, August 24, at the base of Snow King. Fitzgerald's Bicycles will
host Tuesday Night Bike-In movies through August 31. Donations accepted. www.fitzgeraldsbicycles.com.

In partial defense of the Art Fair
ART
The word “fair” typically brings to mind dirt, bad food, bad music and bad merchandise – as in “county fair.” So naturally, upon hearing about the Art Fair and the opinions
that surround it, I couldn't help but picture standard Western paintings and drawings
that lack artistic merit. However, after doing a little research, I found that the fair not only
offers a wide variety of art, including paintings, drawings, ceramics, wearable fiber, digital art, leather, jewelry and furniture, among several other things, but it also requires original work at no higher rate of reproduction work available than 20 percent. While the Art
Fair is not a full representation of what Jackson Hole has to offer artistically, it is a rare opportunity for artists to be seen and to make money in these difficult times. Whether their
work deserves to be recognized as true art is up to the eye of the beholder.
The Art Fair is 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday and Saturday; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday; in
Miller Park, corner of Millward Street and Deloney Avenue. $3. www.artassociation.org.

COURTESY ROTATING SUPERSTRUCTURE
Thursday 8.19
Rotating Superstructure will pursue its sound in P-Town.
Superstructure rotates from its axis
By Aaron Davis
Two brothers and two childhood friends start a rock band in
high school, record a couple of
albums, buy a gear trailer, and
leave their small town behind to
jam in the city. There just aren’t
many stories like it, and frankly,
I’m envious.
Homegrown rock quartet Rotating Superstructure is approaching
the end of an era in their young
careers, and its forthcoming sophomore release is the gateway into
the next. The self-titled disc is a
rock album of vocal and rhythmic
priority, with a depth of atmospheric soundscapes.
RSS journeyed to Seattle in
early June to record at Two Sticks
Audio, a studio owned by Jason
McGerr, the drummer for Death
Cab for Cutie. After four days of
recording with engineer-pro-
ducer Don Gunn, the band surfaced with eight tracks and 32
minutes of a sound they had envisioned from the start. The matured progression from the
band’s debut, Bouncy Castle, realizes the potential of four
friends on the same wavelength.
“We want to be the best
band out there, but it’s
not worth selling out
to be that.”
- Shawn Fleming
“Our individual influences really came out on this album and
we were really well rehearsed,”
said drummer Shawn Fleming,
who noted that Medeski Martin
and Wood and Galactic’s local
shows were influential to his
playing. “Especially with my
Got an event
for the
16 August 18 - 24, 2010
Huhn and Shawn’s brother, Kyle,
on guitar, Rotating Superstructure will relocate to Portland,
Ore. in late September. After considering New York and Seattle, it
was Portland that had the
strongest calling.
“It feels like we already have a
foundation there … just from the
people we’ve met that know this
person or that person,” Fleming
said. “I think we’re really fortunate, too, that our parents are
pumped for us. They’re cool that
we’re not going straight to college and know that it’s better that
we at least try this now.”JHW
Rotating Superstructure’s
album release is 8:30 p.m., Saturday, at the Pink Garter Theater.
Teenage rock group, Thirsty, will
open. All ages. $10. First 50 people will receive free copies of

brother. He’ll do something and
I’ll know what he’s going to do
next. It’s getting that way with
the other guys too.”
Though classic songwriters like
Van Morrison and Dylan were influential to guitarist and primary
songwriter Victor Pokorny, I
mostly hear the new wave of
post-Radiohead, indie-rock
bands like The National, Arcade
Fire and especially Vampire
Weekend.
“We have this mindset that we
want to be the best band out
there, but it’s not worth selling
out to be that,” said Fleming
when asked about the band’s future. “It would be nice to get to
the point where we can live off of
our music, have a good lifestyle,
and do as much as we can for
free … like when Radiohead gave
away their album online.”

LIARS

★★★★★
The newest release from BSS won’t get as
much press as Arcade Fire’s latest, but for
my money, there’s no question that Forgiveness Rock Record is superior to AF’s
Suburbs. Compared to Arcade Fire’s nearly
hook-exclusive rock, BSS’s musical terrain
is vastly more adventurous, treading upand down-tempo, through dense aural
forests and across sparse sonic plains. The
track “World Sick,” illustrates that point
perfectly. Driven throughout by Justin Peroff’s bass-heavy drum propulsion, a lilting
guitar hook and Kevin Drew’s crypticthough-unforgettable lyrics, “World Sick”
builds up to an anthemic chorus and then
drops back to down-beat ambient chirps,
cello drones and rattling drumsticks-onthe-rim. That control of pressure and release within a song is one of BSS’s principle
strengths, and it’s displayed throughout
Forgiveness, from the lilting Lisa Lobinger
track “All to All” to the rocked-out “Forced
to Love.” Forgiveness came out in May, but
it’s a sleeper, and surely one of the best albums of the year. – Benjamin R. Bombard
With the constant deluge of new music, a
lot of it starts to sound the same and still
more falls through the cracks. La La Land
suffered both misfortunes when I first downloaded it. I listened a few times, then forgot
about the album, largely because of the
opening track, “Tom Cruz,” an indie-rock
anthem that at first is just catchy, but then
becomes annoying because it could be any
indie-rock anthem. Recently, however, I
picked La La Land back up for the sake of
this review, and found that past the first couple-three polished radio singles, Plants and
Animals created a collection of varied styles
from the haunting vocals and reflective
lyrics, along the lines of Molina and Johnson,
on “Undone Melody” and “Game Shows” to
the J.J. Cale-reminiscent beach tune “Kon
Tiki.” Not much about the overall album
seems new or innovative to me, but another
listen may produce additional discoveries,
and that I think it requires another listen
means that something about La La Land
does not sound like everything else.
– Matthew Irwin
I count on Liars to produce music like
the Australian Outback – chanting, often
monotone vocals and steady rhythms with
explosive moments and hard words – and
Sisterworld does not disappoint me. Neither does Liars remain in the grip of its
previous successes. Instead, it offers
longer breaks in rhythm with deeply reverberated vocals and guitar, and rather than
sticking always with the hard machine
beat – the head-nodding consistency – Sisterworld actually dips into dance, as on
“Proud Evolution,” on which the vocals
and rhythms run in the round. I mentioned hard lyrics, so here's an example
from “Scarecrows on a Killer Slant:” “We
should take the creeps out at night/Drag
'em incomplete by their ears/We should
nail their thought to the wall/Stand them
in the street with a gun/And then kill them
all.” The final two lines become a chant,
and like many Liars songs I take these
lyrics to be evocative of a simple-mindedness that the band wants to expose.

‘Trees on an Incline,’ oil on canvas, by Wolf Kahn.
Modern nature
By Victoria Plasse
The title for Wolf Kahn’s upcoming show at Tayloe Piggott
Gallery takes its lead from the
“passing, profound moments in
the natural world,” gallery owner
Tayloe Piggott said.
“Refractions of Light” brings
Kahn’s chromatic landscapes to
Wyoming for the first time, and
the result of a second collaboration between Camille Obering
Art Advisory and the gallery.
Their 2009 collaboration, “Influences of Nature on Abstraction,”
brought works by Milton Avery,
Richard Diebenkorn, Helen
Frankenthaler and Joan Mitchell.
Born in Stuttgart, Germany in
1927, Kahn arrived in England
with a group of refugee children
at the outset of World War II. At
age 12, he emigrated to the
United States to rejoin his family.
After serving in the U.S. Navy,
Kahn studied under painter
Hans Hofmann before attending

the University of Chicago where
he received his bachelor’s in
1951.
Hofmann instilled in Kahn a
love and reverence of nature, encouraging Kahn’s evocation of
structural color and his way of
handling spatial theories. He
uses basic defined lines as the
foundation for whimsical brush
strokes.
Kahn will create a
dialogue through works
that fuse color theory
and modernism.
Today, Kahn divides his time
between Manhattan and Brattleboro, Vermont and much like his
work, it’s a balance between sophistication and simplicity. He
appreciates the intellectual resources and appreciation found
in select rural areas

“Kahn is a great fit [for the
Jackson community],” Tayloe
Piggott said.
Camille Obering added, “He is
as visceral as the backcountry.”
“Up in Vermont, they understand that there’s such a thing as
culture—not just agriculture,”
Kahn once remarked in an interview. Jackson residents will identify with his highly channeled
expressionism and genuine affection for the natural world.
Kahn will create a dialogue
through works that fuse color
theory and modernism while intersecting with abstraction and
representation. This is obvious
in such pieces as “Orange/Yellow
Interchange,” an oil on canvas
landscape painting that resonates a movement more so
than a static extract of trees
turning with the season.
Obering and Piggott share the
same convictions for art in the
Tetons. Their mission is to enrich a cultural dialogue while
Wolf Kahn’s “Refractions of
Light” hangs today until Oct. 24
at Tayloe Piggott Gallery with a
reception during the Fall Arts
Festival. www.tayloepiggottgallery.com.

furthering the appreciation and
acquisition of exceptional works
of art. Their partnership’s foundation is a shared point of view.
“It’s about lifestyle,” Piggott
said. She enjoys that people can
stop by in waders or covered in
mud from the garden to visit
with a piece that’s just shown at
the Whitney. And yet, both Obering and Piggott agree that despite people wanting to leave the
whole of the metropolis behind
when they arrive in Jackson,
contemporary art has a place
here. They are expounding on
the community’s latent appreciation, Obering explained, “to see
wonderful things in a first class
gallery,” and have plans for future shows. JHW
CALENDAR
By Aaron Wallis
Full Circle Frameworks and
Gallery is selling out. Work in
Progress Six will feature local
artists creating work during the
reception with a theme of
wildlife.
When I asked gallery proprietor Rocky Vertone about the
choice of theme for the sixth annual event, he said, “This year
we are selling out, I just want to
hop on the bandwagon and
make some money. Everybody
else is doing wildlife art so we
will too.
“I’m trying to get paid, fo real.
Can you believe how much
skateboards cost these days,
when I was a kid you could pick
up a decent deck for $20, now
my kid needs like a new $100
board every week.”
Vertone then got this kind of
funny glassy eyed look and
started mumbling about his
mortgage.
Work in Progress is a group
show consisting of the finest
artists with street cred. The tentative lineup for this year includes British graffiti sensation
Banksy, Neo-Expressionists Cecily Brown and Julian Schnabel
and performance art and film
impresario Matthew Barney. Vertone even invited instillation
artist Damon Hurst to create a
e
unique piece with the corpse of
recently overdosed NY artist
Dash Snow. None of the preceding artists have, as of yet, confirmed their participation in
Work in Progress 6. Vertone did
say the as-of-yet, not completely
determined roster of artists includes: Richard Godwin, Kelly
Halpin, Travis Walker, Ben Carlson, Steve Cutter, Remy Lincoln,
Erin Smith and local schmuck
Aaron Wallis.
Exhibiting artists will show
some completed work in the
main gallery space, and complete custom works of art during
the reception. This kind of live
painting can lead to wonderfully
spontaneous and unique works
of art. At least for the first few
hours, putting artists and an
open bar together is always a
volatile combination. And the result can be genius, or a halfnaked painter rolling in paint
and chastising other artists for
not feeling the paint.
In all fairness, nobody expects
doctors, lawyers or politicians to
practice their trade in the public
eye. Imagine performing a surgery in public.
"Whoops! Did I just do that?
Let’s just stuff these intestines
back in and pretend that nothing
happened. Nurse, bring me another scotch and get yourself
some Valium while you’re at it.
COURTESY ROCKY VERTONE
Energy of live creation
Benji ‘Ruckus’ Pierson at last year’s Work in Progress.
That’s a good girl."
But artists are expected to execute a finished work of art in
front of an audience. In that
sense, being a visual artist is very
similar to a musician or performer. I had a professor back in
college who was fond of saying,
“your art is not going to do you
any good sitting underneath
your bed.” In one sense he was
right. Even if art is a self-validating act of creation, it still requires an audience to appreciate

little too hard. The many invitations to late-night bar-hop and
celebrate the exit-week of a
good friend had compounded
with one of the busiest tourism
weeks that Jackson has ever
seen, and by Sunday morning, I
was totally drained with three
more double shifts to finish before a full day of rest.
I remembered though, that the
last time I was incredibly hungover from a “Stein Night” at the
Brew Pub I visited the Jackson
Whole Grocer Tonic Bar for a
remedy. The hydrating and electrolyte packed Hangover Helper
juice worked a miracle in restoring my balance just in time for
yet another long day of work.
This time, I hadn’t over-imbibed, but just worked too
much, and was feeling the sore
and foggy-headed effects of exhaustion. So, I dragged my limp
and lifeless skinny jeans to the
edge of the Tonic Bar, where I
was greeted by the energetic and
friendly face of a good friend,
Piper, who was coming off a
relay run event which made me
feel even less active and able.
I explained my condition to
Piper (too much physical work
and lack of sleep) and she immediately had a recommendation:
“Little Miss Sunshine!”
At first, I thought she was jok-
She pointed to a
smoothie on the creamy
tonics menu that dialed
in all the remedies for
what was ailing me.
ing, making fun of my complaining attitude and lack of rays of
exuberant energy, but no. She
pointed to a smoothie on the
creamy tonics menu that dialed
in all the necessary remedies for
what was ailing me.
By the time she reached
“mango...” on the list of ingredients that also included Dragon
Lady Green Tea and all-natural
yogurt, I was sold. My allergies
had been bothering me a bit so I
asked for a bee pollen supplement to help with those symptoms as well.
Piper and I continued to chat
and catch up as people came
and went ordering ice cream and
filling their water bottles with filtered and purified water. I slowly
sucked down my Little Miss Sunshine feeling a bit better and
more energized with each sip. By
the time I left, I was ready to take
on another evening of work.
As the Jackson Whole Grocer
continues to grow and take on
new and interesting challenges,
it’s easy to see how it became so
successful. With interesting and
friendly people operating the
counters and wholesome, spiritmending ingredients for sale,
you can quickly become sucked
into the program.
Innovative growing techniques
on the horizon, coupled with a
community building People’s
Market during the week, indicates that the Whole Grocer is in
it for the long haul. Creamy tonics like Little Miss Sunshine
show that it is going to be a tasty
ride, even if you have to jump in
a little hungover or sore. JHW

ROB BREZSNEY’S
FREEWILL ASTROLOGY
WEEK OF AUGUST 18, 2010
ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the 18th century, the French Academy laid down rules about
the differences between professional and amateur paintings. For example, it was decreed that
true artists must create a “licked surface,” hiding
all evidence of their brushstrokes. The illusion
was more convincing that way; viewers could
sink their attention fully into the image without
being distracted by thoughts about the artist’s
process. When the Impressionists barged into
the scene in the 1870s, one of their rebellions
against convention was to reject the licked surface. By making some of their brushstrokes visible, they declared they weren’t interested in
upholding the artifice. They wanted their audience to get involved in their subjective interpretation of the scene that was portrayed. In the
coming week, Aries, I encourage you to be like
the Impressionists. Forget about trying to present a licked surface. Reveal the inner workings
that are whirling and humming behind your eyes.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If your home is
like a museum, a staid assemblage of fine memories, I suggest you shake things up a bit. If your
imagination is filled with tape loops that keep
running storylines you’ve heard a thousand times
before, shake things up a bit. If your daily actions
are so thoroughly possessed by the anesthetizing
demons of habit that you can’t recall your last
creative innovation, shake things up a bit. On the
other hand, there’s no need for blame. Don’t berate yourself for your sluggishness. It was an inevitable byproduct of your efforts to solidify and
stabilize your life. Just slip into a more playful
mode and enjoy a bout of experimentation.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Maybe you know
a person like my friend Joanna. She’s bright but
terse, open-minded but not chatty. Like an inscrutable Buddha, she watches everything closely
and churns her thoughts carefully. Silence is her
ally. Now and then, though, when moved by an
inner prompting that has nothing to do with
drinking wine, she will suddenly erupt with a tor-
rent of sweet talk and pithy observations and
wild explorations. I predict that for you, Gemini,
the entire world — even the parts of it that are
not usually very forthcoming — will soon resemble Joanna when she’s overflowing.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): This would be an
excellent time for you to get aggressively inventive about your education. It wouldn’t be too
crazy, in my opinion, to launch your own school,
with you as the only student. You could design
your own course curriculum for the coming years.
Decide who your teachers will be. Think about
where you can get the stuff you’ll need to expand
your mind, enhance your skills, and just plain increase your intelligence. You could call your center of higher learning the University of Wily
Exuberance or the Academy of Astonishing Grace
or the Institute of Getting Down to Business.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): For the people of Finland, the word sisu describes a quality they regard as integral to their national character. It
refers to a courageous strength of will that can
be sustained for a long time — a staunch ferocity
that refuses to be defeated. We all could use
more of that good stuff, not only to weather our
personal ordeals but also to stay plucky in the
face of the world’s lunacy. The coming weeks
will be an especially good time for you to build
up your reserves of sisu, Leo. How? Start by taking inventory of all the resources and allies and
skills you have at your disposal.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Ever upstream
from myself,” wrote Belgian poet Edmond Vandercammen. “I advance, implore and pursue myself.” I suggest you adopt that attitude, Virgo.
Assume that your best self is sailing along at a
rapid clip, somewhere in the distance ahead of
you, and it’s your job to catch up. Your highest
form of expression is eluding you, but you’re
hunting it down. The most beautiful possible embodiment of all your potentials is surging toward
the future, and it’s your fun job to close the gap
between you and unite with it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In one possible
scenario I could foresee for you in the coming
week, you’re sweaty and tearful, enmeshed in an
extreme state that causes an internal blockage to
dissolve. The sweat is purgative, the tears are
cathartic, and you’re riding a wave of relief and release that clears out a backlog of emotional congestion. In a second possible future, I could see you
as supernaturally relaxed and exuberant, periodically laughing so hard that you break up an internal
blockage. The calm is purgative, the laughter is
cathartic, and you’re riding a wave of relief and release that clears out a backlog of emotional congestion. Which scenario would you prefer?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Last June, comedian Stephen Colbert reported that President
Obama’s big TV address to Americans about
the Gulf catastrophe was a failure because it
went over the heads of too many people. Language experts who analyzed Obama’s speech
determined that it was written at a tenth-grade
level — too professorial, scolded Colbert. I
wonder what he would say about the horoscopes I compose, which are designed for readers who enjoy thinking metaphorically and have
a high degree of emotional intelligence. In the
coming week, Scorpio, I suggest that you take
the approach that Obama and I use rather than
the one Colbert (farcically) recommended.
Don’t talk down to your audience or pander to
the lowest common denominator. Raise everyone up with your appeals.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): My favorite baseball player Tim Lincecum told San
Francisco magazine: “I think you either get in the
canoe with your oar and control the boat, or get
into it and let the current take you. I’m kind of in
between. I want to be able to enjoy the ride but
don’t want to be swept away by it. I don’t want
to be overwhelmed; I want to see what’s going
on.” Whether you are customarily the type of
person who controls the boat or the type who
enjoys drifting dreamily along, I suggest you take
Lincecum’s in-between approach for now. Be
half in charge and half surrendered.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The poet
Jean Perrin dreamed “of marrying the dawn with
the light of the moon,” and I invite you to do the
same. The darkness you’ve been immersed in
will leave you soon. As it does, please don’t forsake the pale, moon-like radiance that has provided you with a bit of guidance and consolation.
Rather, bring along what it has taught you as you
head into the far brighter phase you’re entering.
In other words, retain some of the wisdom the
dim light has compelled you to learn.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I know two
people in their 80s who have accomplished a
sensational long-running creative art project:
They’ve been happily married for 65 years. The
amount of reinvention they’ve had to dream up
in order to keep loving each other is so profound
that it confounds the imagination. How could
they possibly have continued to stay closely interwoven through all the changes each of them
has gone through as they’ve aged? During the
fascinating relationship tests that will be coming
your way in the weeks ahead, Aquarius, I’d love
for you to summon some of their dogged ingenuity and tenacious collaborative skills. In fact, I
predict you will be able to do just that.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For the last 20
years, I’ve worn just one brand of shoes — allblack Converse high-top sneakers. I’ve had
them on them at weddings and while jogging, at
my daughter’s high school graduation and while
performing at my shows. Am I too set in my
ways? Definitely. In any case, Pisces, don’t be
like me. Whatever your version of covering your
feet with nothing but black Converse high-top
sneakers may be, the upcoming weeks will be an
excellent time to change your ways. Break out
and branch out! Try something new about how
you present yourself — the equivalent of me
switching over to suede moccasins or snakeskin
cowboy boots.
