From the Editor’s Desk
OPINION by MATTHEW IRWIN
Surcharges, transparency and reporting
On Tuesday, I met with Jonathan Schechter, head of the
Charter Institute, which runs 1% for the Tetons, the area
nonprofit Planet JH wrote about last week (“Penny-pinching 1% for the Tetons) to the chagrin of the certain area
business. After some back-and-forth, finger-pointing and repiecing emails, phone calls, letters and the story itself (on
both sides), Schechter and I actually had a good conversation, the gist of which is this: I’m right and he’s wrong.
I’m joking. Schechter’s concern about our story is that it
didn’t reflect on the wonderful things 1% does and made
“much ado about nothing,” while portraying the organization and Schechter disparagingly. Moreover, he said that
he spoke with someone (he doesn’t remember whom) at
the Wyoming Department of Revenue, who provided information conflicting with our Dept. of Revenue source,
whose claim that they were already aware of possible
infractions and were planning action made certain our
decision to run the story. The discrepancy is to be determined, and I will gladly recant if we were wrong, but I have
confidence in the accuracy of Jake Nichols’ reporting.
Before I get any further – and I apologize to anyone who
feels outside; the story is still available online – I must say
this: The piece was not a slam on 1%, but an investigation
into questionable practices of certain 1% donors, an angle
itself which did not suspect malicious intent, only error,
but was nonetheless faced with defensive retorts.
The issue at stake in the story is transparency, and
Schechter agreed, if for different reasons, but he did say
that he would work with 1% members to ensure that if they
chose to include a surcharge to cover their 1% obligation
that they knew how to do it within the law and with ample
promulgation, giving customers the ability to opt out.
Members still have the
right, he said, to determine
1% for
for themselves if they want
the Tetons
to include a surcharge.

ments on our blog, which
appear to stem from the
same blind rage that dismisses the fact that actions described in the piece are true
and that some are potentially illegal. The personal attacks
on Nichols, through a number of communications, are
appalling and unwarranted. Nichols provided due diligence
to the businesses included in the article, offering each the
opportunity to comment.
One would hope that more business owners included in
the story would have responded like Bill Field of Mountain
High Pizza, who said that he had not been aware of the
accounting snafu described in the story, but had resolved
to change it. Others chose to act defensively, such as the
owners of Davies Reid, who said, “Screw the Planet!” and
requested that no more copies of Planet JH be delivered to
their store, respectively.
Nichols investigated and reported the story with the full
backing of Planet JH. Write to me with your complaints,
accuse the newspaper of wrongdoing, but do me a favor
and cool off first, and don’t attack us for doing what newspapers do, which is investigating and reporting on pertinent issues.
We hope that the majority of readers understand that
Planet Jackson Hole’s goal in telling this story is to inform
them about these practices, so that 1) they can decide for
themselves if they want to support the implicated companies; and 2) so that these companies can reevaluate their
policies. That 1% is a valuable charity shouldn’t prevent us
from investigating the practices of some of its members.
This is important: we are not calling into question 1%, only
certain of its members who likely made an accounting
error. The remaining members with whom we and
Schechter spoke, independently, are split on whether a surcharge is in the spirit of 1%, and we’ll check back with the
Dept. of Revenue. PJH

Bad Home Ranch Decision
I can’t understand how the Town
Council could vote to spend 4+ million
dollars on a building the town doesn’t
need. On Monday 10/20 Mayor Barron,
Mark Obringer and Abe Tabatabai voted
to go forward with the construction of the
Home Ranch Center which includes
offices for the Chamber of Commerce, a
visitor center and public restrooms.
The visitor center would duplicate services provided by the existing visitor center
four blocks north. The existing building at
the parking lot on the corner of Cache and
Gill is still structurally sound and doesn’t
need to be replaced. The restrooms do
need to be remodeled and upgraded, and
the common area in the middle of the
building needs to be refurbished. There is
no demonstrable need for the Chamber of
Commerce to be moved to this location.

Since the town is approximately $145,000
over budget and it is virtually impossible for
the council to trim the budget four million
dollars, the financing for this project would
have to come in the form of an increase in
taxes. Cutting town services in order to fund
this costly and ill-conceived project would be
fiscally irresponsible at any time especially
now when we are in a major recession.
The Chamber of Commerce deserves a
larger office, but they should be able to
find adequate office space somewhere
other than the Home Ranch. In addition, a
project with a proposed cost of over four
million dollars should voted be on by the
public, not decided by three members of
the town council.

ing headline in the Jackson Hole Daily
(“Smoking ban resurfaces,” Angel,
10/27/08). In coining the smokefree issue as
a “smoking ban,” we play right into the tobacco industry’s playbook: distort the smokefree
discussion in order to divert attention away
from the real issue at hand - health.
The term “smoking ban” is promoted by
the tobacco companies and their allies.
Why? The term creates the inaccurate
impression that smokefree laws are a
threat to individual freedom. In reality,
smokefree policies equally protect and
promote an individual’s right to breathe
safe, clean air. Breathing is a right, not a
privilege. Using the term “smoking ban”
to describe the proposed amendment to
the Teton County Food Code significantly
distorts the goal of the proposal. The
Amendment would protect the public

Teton County bars and restaurants, not
eliminate smoking in Teton County as the
article suggests.
Smokefree air is no longer controversial,
as the tobacco industry would like us to
believe. In 2006, the Report on
Secondhand Smoke from U.S. Surgeon
General declared the science of secondhand smoke was overwhelming; opinion
polls show that smokefree policies are
extremely popular with the public, and the
majority of the country now enjoys the
protection of smokefree laws. All
American workers should have the right to
breathe clean air while on the job, including restaurants and bar workers.
I hope the newspapers in Teton County
will accurately report on this in the future.
It’s about health, and it’s about time.

Voluntary or Semi-Mandatory
The New Yorker film critic Pauline
Kael was said to have been shocked at the
results of the 1972 Nixon landslide as she
did not know anyone that voted for
Nixon. I suppose that kind of insularity
may explain the amazement of some
members of 1% For the Tetons (1%FTT)
over the skeptical reception given their
practice of charging their customers a surcharge of 1% in a manner that could be
perceived as surreptitious and view any
controversy regarding this mechanism as
a “red herring.”
It is presumptuous to believe that a
business’ clients automatically share the
owner’s worldview. And Cindy Parker
nails it [Penny pinching 1% for the
Tetons, October 29, 2009]: “It’s our political choice and maybe not every customer’s choice.”
The definitive issue here is not that this
tactic is devious or ill-intentioned, but
blurs the subtle, but still definable difference between a voluntary donation and a
semi-mandatory collection. I doubt that
on every transaction customers are adequately informed of the surcharge and
given an effortless means to opt out.
I would take exception to comparing a
fuel/fee surcharge with what some of the
1%FTT members are doing – I don’t see
little Shell or Exxon stickers on the sides
of aircraft or UPS trucks. If you want to
bask in the altruistic sunshine of supporting a cause, it seems reasonable that your
customers should not have to pay for the
Coppertone.

On “Penny-pinching 1% for
the Tetons”
■ C’mon, Planet. What have you
accomplished here? These businesses are trying to do an unquestionably
good thing for the planet and our
community. They surely are not trying
to cheat the state out any revenue.
■ Regardless of where you stand
on “mending an ailing globe, profit
and greed”, or sucking on ideological
teats - there is one undeniable truth
about this article - it’s utter crap. ... I
am disgusted both at Mr. Nichols and
the Editors and Publishers of the
Planet. Being the head of Teton Power
- a renewable energy company and
proud member of 1% for the Tetons,
and that has been written about in
this very publication - I advocate tirelessly for the Earth. But in this case,
my closing comments are at odds
with my central ethos. Screw the
Planet!
■ You gotta love the complete moral
bankruptcy and ethical relativity of
those poo-pooing this story. Maybe
they should next try and accuse The
Planet of committing, the ever more
rare these days, Sin of Journalism
too! Good job, Jake. If all this is much
ado about nothing, why aren’t these
sneaky merchants paying this pittance themselves, out of their pockets, as agreed upon, instead of passing the buck, quite possible illegally?

On Your Right
OPINION by JUDD GROSSMAN
It’s all over except the crying
Andy Schwartz is a good sport. When I
ran into him at the P.O. on the day after I
endorsed his opponents for County
Commission, I braced myself for a stern
reproach, but he took my column with good
humor. Andy is a class act.
Post-partisanship
As I’m writing this, I’m hoping that John
McCain has pulled off a come-from-behind
victory, so that my wife won’t be in a bad
mood for the next four years. But since I
don’t know the election outcome, this is the
perfect opportunity to talk about how
America should come together now that
we’ve selected a new president.
It’s vital that our new president set aside
partisan acrimony, work together with
members of both parties to protect our
country and to allow our economy to get
back on track.
If McCain has won, I promise not to rub
it in, and If Obama is the guy, I will be rooting 100 percent for him to succeed. I will
assume that he has the best intentions. If I
think he’s on the wrong track, I will try,
through reasoned, respectful argument, to
prove that I have a better plan.
Blame Game
It’s been disappointing to see both
McCain and Obama join the mainstream
media in turning President Bush into a
punching bag. Bush deserves some blame,
but also some praise. My concern is our
political inclination to demonize our
opponents. It seems that each former president is blamed not only for everything
that happened on his watch, but also for
everything that follows for at least another
20 years. If we can’t find some modicum
of objectivity and recognize the good, or
at least good intentions, in our political
opponents, we will turn ourselves into
hypocrites when we are forced to eventually adopt some of their ideas. After all, no
one is wrong all the time.
The alternative is that with each shift in
the balance of power, new leaders - operating from the extremes of the political spectrum - will force our country’s policies to
swing from right to left as wildly as the
stock market has recently been swinging
up and down. I will be disappointed if, for
the next four years, I keep hearing about
“failed Bush policies.” If the only way to
win in 2012 will be to accuse either
Obama or McCain of being a complete
failure, then cynicism and political expediency will have trumped truth and honesty.
80-Percent Theory
At a meeting in his Jackson office, I
heard Senator Mike Enzi talk about his
version of the “80-Percent Theory.“ He
explained
that
Democrats
and
Republicans really only disagree on about
20 percent of the issues. He proposed that
if politicians concentrate on nurturing the
consensus they have on the other 80 percent, they will be able to accomplish a
great deal without becoming mired in partisan gridlock.
Moving forward
Here is where I think conservatives and
liberals can find that consensus:
Immigration Reform – Secure our borders,
and create fair and reasonable mechanisms
to allow legal immigration and enhance
guest worker opportunities.
Trade – Support free trade, but make sure
that America has unfettered access to the
markets of our trading partners.
Taxes – Let’s make our conservative and
liberal arguments about where the appropriate tax level should be; let the majority
implement it’s plan and monitor the results.
Supreme Court Justices - Look for justices
that are extremely qualified, no ideologues,
no litmus tests, no activists.
Defense - Do what it takes to protect our
country and our allies.
On the local level
We need to look for ways growth can help
us meet our shared goals of a community
with a variety of residential-, commercial-,
industrial- and office-use opportunities.
Make town more vital, but protect community character. Use new development to preserve open space and wildlife habitat. Let
the good ideas and concerns of both sides
help us shape policies that represent a broad
majority of the community.
■
It’s time to get out of partisan mode, tone
down the blame game, allow each other to
admit our mistakes, and get to work to solve
the challenges we face in our country and in
our own backyard.
And thanks, Andy, for not egging my
house on Halloween. PJH

Wild Lives
r Traveling through central Utah a couple
eweeks ago, I drove past the field of huge
-new windmills at the mouth of Spanish
Fork Canyon. I had a great feeling, knowing that these windmills are generating
Ielectricity using a non-polluting, renewsable resource. I’ve seen windmills on beauetiful hilltops in California and Wyoming.
dAnd I’ve followed the Cape Wind controtversy over 130 possible wind turbines in
tNantucket Sound, which is being opposed
eby a group of very wealthy and influential
-Cape Cod residents who don’t want their
aocean views compromised. Although
-Robert Kennedy, Jr. may be America’s
most vocal and influential environmentalist, he has come out against the Cape
dWind project.
For me, the difference between the
Spanish Fork wind project and the others
sI’ve seen and read about comes down to
eone word: ambivalence, which occurs
when something or someone causes us to
ehave two contradictory impulses (usually
elove and hate). I realized that I am not
ambivalent about the Spanish Fork winddmills. While I love the idea that the wind
-generators lining the high ridges west of
yRock Springs are not contributing greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, I hate the
sloss of wildness, anytime, anyplace.
Since hearing about www.350.org, I’ve
become more comfortable with my own
rambivalence. If you’re not familiar with it,
350.org has as its goal the reduction of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to
p350 parts per million (ppm). This is the
yuniversally accepted limit, the ‘red line’
for human beings. More carbon than this
will cause irreversible damage to the earth
-and will dramatically change the way we
-live on Earth. Until I heard about 350.org,
tI knew we had a lot of work to do. I knew
sthere are dozens of technologies, shifts in
dpoint of view and personal habits, new
e
o
e
n
products to buy and use. Now, having a
number as a target, a gauge, takes away
some judgment and distills all of the questions down to one: how much carbon will
this project or idea keep out of the atmosphere? Besides that, the 350 team of great
young people running the organization
remind the rest of us that this movement
is about committing to an extended future
in which all life can flourish.
Scientists estimate that the current concentration of carbon is 387 ppm and rising. This means that we not only need to
stop increasing the carbon we’re putting
into the atmosphere, but begin reducing it
as soon as possible. In order to make
sense of this, I tried to find the ratios for
converting parts per million to tons of carbon dioxide. I found that my math is a bit
rusty
so
check
this
yourself:
http://www.hydrogen.co.uk/h2_now/journal/articles/2_global_warming.htm
One billion tons of CO2 in the atmosphere equals .85 ppm. Simple math suggests that to get from 387 to 350 we need
to reduce the amount of C02 we put into
the atmosphere by more than 31 billion
tons (37 ppm times .85). That’s a lot. We
need the Cape Wind project to reduce
greenhouse gasses by 734,000 tons/year
(.000624 ppm). We need to ‘offset’ the
two tons of gasses generated each hour in
each Learjet. And, imagine this: if each
American cut their C02 products by five
tons (estimates suggest that we generate
20 tons each per year compared to a world
average of four) that would reduce the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by over one
ppm (275 million people at 5 tons/person
equals 1.17 ppm) all by ourselves.
Imagine.
It all adds up. Can we do it? What if we
don’t? If we kill the world, the wild hilltops or ocean views we were unwilling to
sacrifice to wind mills won’t matter. PJH

In worrisome debt, café owner seeks help
Natural gas
PLANET PALATE OWNER HAS FEW OPTIONS.
CONFUSION & PRICE DROPS.
by Ben Cannon
Recent passersby of Planet Palate, the organic café on N.
Glenwood, may have noticed the distressed tone of a note hanging
on the restaurant’s door. While it is not uncommon for a restaurant to go dark this time of year, this notice is clearly a move of
desperation for a small business in deep financial trouble.
“The full responsibility to continue operating can no longer be
carried by me alone,” wrote Planet Palate owner Amy Young,
who opened the organic restaurant almost a year ago to the day.
For Young, opening an organic café was a dream. With no business plan and little experience managing a business with lots of
overhead, she rented the space in the historic N. Glenwood building, investing considerable time and money to renovating it. The
result was a stylish yet muted interior meant to match the
thoughtfulness of the foods served therein. Yet the remodel also
delayed opening, and, coupled with the startup investment
required to outfit a forward-thinking café – from tableware and
imported teapots to heavy kitchen equipment and industrial
juicers – Young personally took on heavy debt before Planet
Palate served its first cup of coffee.
Opening with a limited menu, Planet Palate eventually expanded its holistic foods options with full breakfast and lunch menus
and a counter stuffed with organic treats, including “living” foods
believed to have greater nutritional value. At the beginning of this
year, Young began a dinner service, bringing to the valley the
only full menu of Indian foods.
The café grew a customer base along the way, yet a respectable
debut did not offset Young’s deepening business debt, which
soon spilled over into her personal life. Her credit cards are
maxed out, and her credit rating – once perfect, she said – has
dropped out from beneath her. She owes money to the IRS and
the state of Wyoming. To pay her staff through the last pay peri-

od, Young has had to focus on her gardening business, an established venture that took backseat while she poured herself into
Planet Palate. The power company is threatening to cut off electricity to the café by the end of the week.
Already a risky candidate for a bank loan, the current economic crisis did not help.
“Even though the café had a great year, our debt is just so
high,” she said.
So Young has turned to the Jackson Hole community for
investors to help her reopen Planet Palate. Without some financial intervention, it seems doubtful she will be able to reopen in
the coming weeks.
“A lot of people appreciate the place,” she said. “I think there
are people out there who can help invest in the restaurant.”
Young said she has learned over the course of the last year how
to keep costs down and to make the restaurant viable. She also
now realizes she went into business undercapitalized but is
searching desperately for a chance to make it work.
“This may sound silly, but I firmly believe this is like a calling
of mine,” Young said. Her contact info can still be found on the
door at Planet Palate. PJH
Hiking and hunting: staying safe in GTNP
By Matthew Irwin
Most residents of Teton County are probably aware of hunting in the northeast corridor
of Grand Teton National Park and on the east
side of John D. Rockefeller Memorial
Parkway, but out-of-town visitors and other
residents thinking about hiking in the area
might benefit from signage or other notification, according to officials.
As of yet, there are no signs warning hikers
at trailhead kiosks, where bear warning signs
are abundant.
“It never hurts to remind people, but I would
hate to cause more concern than is warranted,”
said Wyoming Fish and Game spokesperson
Mark Gocke. “I would hate for people to not go
into the park because they were afraid [of getting shot].” He said that he hoped hikers weren’t
detracted for fear of bear attacks.
GTNP zones 75 and 79, roughly the areas
north and east of the park road after Jackson
Lake and Moran junctions, are available to
around 1,000 hunters with special permits
each year, according to GTNP spokesperson
Jackie Skaggs, who added that hunters may
not “actively hunt” within a quarter mile of
the park road.
She also noted that hunters must carry a

In 33 years of park service, Skaggs can

fatally injured in the park, and he was shot
when a rifle accidentally fired in camp.
The U.S. government initiated the elk
reduction program for GTNP in 1950, in part
to protect elk mortality rates endangered by
“an annual winter feeding program on the
National Elk Refuge, which sustains high
numbers of elk with unnaturally low mortality rates,” according to an Oct. 6 GTNP press
release.
Special hunting permits allow hunting from
Oct. 11 in Zone 79 and from Oct 18 in Zone 75
to Nov. 30. About 30 percent of hunters turn in
tags each year, and Skaggs said that around 180

Wyomingites that they might pay

hosted as many as 30 town hall

price of gas began dropping, and
it continues to drop.

It’s late Wednesday night. The internal biorhythmic clock of most mortals has told them to
wind down for bed. When assistant coach
Bryan Korpi blows the whistle that begins the
‘breakout drill’ for the Jackson Hole Moose,
speedy winger Dan Stasny takes pass on his
backhand in full flight, dekes a defender, and
buries the puck behind the goaltender. The play
covers 180 feet in about four seconds. In hockey, there’s a reason it’s called “the rush.”
The indisputable ‘fastest game on earth’ is
not for the feint of heart. Players armed with a
stick and a grudge skate at nearly 30 mph.

Disagreements in ice hockey are often settled
in bare-knuckled fashion on a sheet of ice,
while referees stand helplessly by and rabid
fans pound on Plexiglas designed to protect
them from the violence inside.
Is it any wonder a hockey player is recognized by his smile?
TJ Thomas has donated teeth to the game he
grew up playing in Minnesota. Thomas never
made it to the end of the Moose intersquad
scrimmage Wednesday night. He left the ice
doubled over, blood trailing behind him to the
locker room after taking a puck to the face. No
big deal for the feisty forward whose speed
keeps him out of most trouble. Usually.
“The worst game I was ever in was in 2000,”
Thomas recalled. A guy from the Minnesota
Bucks sucker punched me; cracked my nose
open and took me out of the game. He was mad
about getting dumped by his Russian girlfriend
and took it out on me.”
Brian Upesleya (25), Josh Theken (13), Chris DeMarco (71), and Dan Stasny (16) celebrate
another Moose goal.
Like a lot of players, Thomas was put on
skates before kindergarten. He helped his high
school team win a state championship and headed straight for Jackson Hole in 1993. The Moose
were the Grizzlies then, and Thomas pulled on
his trademark No. 7 sweater to join Dustin Stolp
as one of the original players on the Moose team
which began its inaugural season in 1997-98.
The Jackson Hole Moose hockey club competes in the Senior A division of the USA
Hockey Association. It is one of the highest
levels of amateur hockey a player can participate in without being paid. Most Moose
skaters played college hockey at a major
school. Some players dabbled in the big time,
cashing paychecks in minor leagues like the
East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) and various semi-pro leagues.
One thing all Moose players have in common
is a need for speed and a desire to continue
to play the game they grew up on at a competitive level.

son of a top level, National Coach-In-Chief at

prep school (Northwood) in Lake Placid with
retired Philadelphia Flyers star defenseman
Chris Therien. He studied coaching at Adolphus
Gustavus and, after assisting in Great Falls,
Mont., eventually landed a head coaching job in
Casper, Wyo.
“I inherited a team that was 3-21,” Bloomer
said. “We were terrible. The team folded at the
end of that year.”
Bob “Howie” Carruth hired Bloomer to play
and coach for the Moose in 1998. He anchored
the blue line for the Moose for four years before
hanging up his skates to coach the team in
2002. In his debut season, the rugged defenseman scored 13 goals in 22 games while leading
the team in penalty minutes.

The year was 1976. Firewood was $65 a cord.
Disco night was all the rage, though not at the
Stagecoach; rather Dietrich’s Discothèque at the
Alpenhof and the mirrored ball was brand new. The
Happy Hound served the best burgers and malts in
town and a three-bedroom house on Deloney listed
for $49,000.
Enter a band of hooligans who couldn’t sit still for
the winter. A few of them are still around. Guys like
Paul Rice, Paul Gilroy, Mike Evans, Porgy
McClelland, Phelps Swift, Larry Anderson, Bill Resor
and Jeff Huit. Led by the undisputed godfather of
hockey in the hole, Skip Wright-Clark, and self-admittedly fueled by Bud and Big Macs; they didn’t know
it then but the wild bunch Zambonied the way for the
slick skating stars of the current Jackson Hole
Moose hockey team.
“It all started in 1976,” remembered WrightClark. “I was on the Rec board and I begged them
for $400 to build a rink, which they finally gave me.
II then went to Jackson Lumber and conned free
wood out of them for the boards and used the
money on jerseys.”
Next, Wright-Clark went to the town and asked to
build a rink at the site of the current Parks & Rec
swimming pool. When asked by then-mayor Ralph
Gill what he would need, he responded: Four shovels
and two pieces of fire hose.
“Well, you would have thought I asked for the
Golden Goose,” Wright-Clark said. “But we built it;
under budget and ahead of schedule. The county
never did anything like that then and hasn’t since.”
That began the Stampede. Jackson’s first hockey
team, although some old-timers remember loosely
organized attempts at an ice hockey club in the ‘50s.
After a few years, the rink was moved to Wilson
where the Stampede tried to coax teams from Casper,
Salt Lake, Boise, and Sun Valley to come play.
“We just couldn’t get many teams to come here
and play us because we never knew what the
weather was going to be like,” Wright-Clark said.
“Sun Valley would always come because they didn’t care if we couldn’t play, they would just hang
out and drink.”
Wright-Clark’s teammate and roommate on the
road, Dick Rice, also recalled the tribulation of playing on an outdoor rink. “I remember the time we
shoveled the rink off four times it was snowing so
hard. We never did get to play that night.”
Rice said the Stampede groomed the surface not
with a Zamboni but a tractor. “Our original tractor
was a Ferguson. This was made even before
Massey-Ferguson. We borrowed it from the Resors.
Jane Pillsbury Resor was a big hockey nut. She
played goalie for us all the time in Wilson.”
“Jane was so into hockey,” Rice said. “I remember these figure skaters came out one time and were
down on one end of the ice crowding us into half the
rink. That was OK. Then they told us to get off
because they wanted to skate and Jane got right in
their face and said this is a HOCKEY rink.”
Wright-Clark grew up playing hockey during
World War II in Rye, NY; a stone’s throw from the
Connecticut border. At age 39, he played mostly in
goal for the Stampede, who won four out of five
state championships in Casper tournaments from
1976 to 1981.
The Stampede was formidable then, usually getting the better of teams like the Casper Lynx, Salt
Lake Flyers, and the Boise Blades. Their toughest
foe then, as it is today, was the Sun Valley Suns.
Self-proclaimed ‘Kings of amateur hockey,’ the Suns
were nasty on the road and simply miserable to play
against in their own building.
“I remember playing the Suns in 1980,” WrightClark said. “It was my first road trip with the team
and Tom Evans was our new rookie. Tommy scored
five goals that night and I ran into some giant of a
guy named Steve Haney. Used to play in the LA
Kings organization. He put me on my ass. Man, I
loved it.”
The Stampede eventually gave way to the
Grizzlies, who were part of a short-lived, eight-team
league called the American Frontier Hockey League.
For four years, the Grizzlies underwhelmed crowds
with a mucking, penalty-filled style until the league

folded in 1997.
Bob Carruth announced the new Jackson Hole Moose
team in 1997, promising, “You’re going
to see some great hockey here. This is
the closest thing to a minor league pro
sport this town will see.”
The club was coached by North
Dakota College standout Tom Evans
and featured Scott Gentry (now a referee for Moose home games), Todd
Crabtree (a Maple Leaf draft pick out
of high school), and former Sun
Valley player Bryan Korpi (now the
Moose assistant coach). The club
went 8-13-1 in their inaugural 199798 season; their only losing record in
11 years.

But the all-time instigator and agitator
for the Moose is fan favorite Dustin
Stolp. ‘DaBizz’ never met a sentence
that didn’t need an f-bomb to spruce it
up. His on-ice chatter is nonstop and
when trouble brews, it’s a good bet
Stolp is in the middle of it.
Stolp’s hardnosed style comes in
handy at least twice per season when
the Moose tackle their archrivals, the
Sun Valley Suns. Bloodletting matches
with the Suns are always the highlight
of both teams’ seasons. The final score
is for bragging rights, but hostility
marks the time span between goals.
Second-year man Justin Martin sums
up the fondness the Moose have for
their ski resort nemesis. “I hate those
bums,” he said.
“They have the worse rink we play at
because of their fans,” Thomas said.
“This one year, a wife of one of the Suns
grabbed a two-by-four that was used as a
barricade and wonked one of our guys
with it in the back of the head when we
were heading for the locker room after
the game.”
This year, the Moose may be in for a
tumultuous season. Turnover is the problem. The hometown hockey club has lost
the brothers Hannafin (Brian and Sean)
back to their hometown of Boston and
longtime mainstay defenseman Chris
DeMarco told the team he would not be
able to play much this year because of
work commitments. The team’s top scorer, Greg Gripentrog, who has battled serious head injuries, has also called it quits.
Last season’s rookie crop was deep,
led by stellar net-minder Nick Aulich.
Dan Stasny and Justin Martin provided
much-needed scoring punch in ’07-’08
and will be called upon again for
offense. Grinders Chris Simpson and
Dominic Sereno have moved on, so the
team will look to Alaska native Bryan
Upesleja – just call him ‘Oops’ – to
continue the physical play that marked
his rookie campaign last winter.
Assistant coach Korpi said while
turnout for the team’s first practice was
light – 18 players when 35 or so were
expected – he expects the roster to fill
in with late walk-ons as they are cut
from semi-pro leagues back East.
“This will be an interesting year with
all the turnover,” Thomas admitted. “The
new players coming in will make the
Moose exciting. The one thing that
always stays the same is the great support of the town and the fans. Our fans
are the best.”

Moose hockey hall of fame
by Jake Nichols
The Jackson Hole Moose hockey
club has had their share of brushes
with fame beginning with Wade
Clarke. Son of hockey legend Bobby
Clarke, Wade played five seasons
with the Moose from 1998 to 2003,
collecting 83 career points.
Minnesota Golden Gopher standout Nate Miller made a brief stop
with the Moose. He played for only a
weekend in the 2003-04 season,
netting four goals. He did the same
in 2004-05. Miller worked his way
up the ranks in the LA Kings organization, playing two full seasons for
the Kings’ AHL affiliate from 2000 to
2002. He appeared in only a few
preseason games in the NHL during
that span.
Miller is probably best known for
playing the role of John “Bah”
Harrington in the movie Miracle. The
2004 film starring Kurt Russell told
the true story of Herb Brooks
(Russell), the player-turned-coach
who led the 1980 U.S. Olympic
hockey team to victory over the
seemingly invincible Russian squad.
Joe Casey parlayed his Moose
career into a shot at the big time in
2006. The team captain and all-time
leading scorer decided to follow his
dream of getting paid to play at the
ripe old age of 31. He accepted an
offer from the Rio Grande Valley
Killer Bees squad of the Central
Hockey League. Casey played half
the season for the Bees before an
injury forced him to retire from pro
hockey forever.
He has since returned to the
Moose to pile up yet more career
numbers for the team he joined out
of college at the University of
Denver in 2000.

Violence in the locker room
Just when you thought the violence in hockey was contained to
the ice surface, longtime Moose
player-coach Jeff Bloomer shares
some tales of terror from the locker
room.
Pizza guy gets ‘delivered’
“There was this one game – I
guess it was in 2000 – we had
played horribly, and we were just
getting belittled by Tom [Evans].
He was calling us a bunch of
sissies and cowards. How we
couldn’t do anything right. Well,
this pizza delivery guy comes in,
and he didn’t know who Tom was.
He knew a couple of guys on the
team and he walked over to them
and put a hand on their shoulder
and said, ‘These guys don’t
deserve that. They’re playing as
hard as they can.’ Tommy just
looks at him and says, ‘Who the
fuck is this?’ And picks the guy up
and throws him out of the locker
room.”
Mascot massacre
“It was between periods, and I
was following [Bob] Carruth to the
locker room. He was the goalie
then. There sitting at Carruth’s
locker was the Moose mascot. In
those days, the mascot used to
jump barrels between periods. Bob
had had a bad period and we were
getting whipped again, and here is
this guy in the Moose costume sitting at his space, drinking a fifth of
Beam. Carruth never said anything.
He just started pounding on him.”
Murder scene
“Eric Rahilly [former Moose and
local bullrider] and Greg
Gripentrog are one and two, first
guys into the locker room between
periods. ‘Gripper’ is mad at the
game we are having and swings
and breaks his stick on this column in there when you walk in.
The shaft of the stick flies right
into the back of Rahilly’s head and
impales itself there. Rahilly hits
the floor out cold.
“By the time I walk in next, it
looks like a crime scene. Gripper is
sitting at his locker, head in hands,
balling. Rahilly is facedown on the
floor with a hockey stick sticking
out of the back of his head.” PJH

Chicks with sticks
flock to ice hockey
by Jake Nichols
It may be the last thing expected. A hardnosed sport steeped
in a tradition of equal parts courage, bravado, and blood, suddenly becoming popular with women. But the sport of ice hockey is fast becoming a big hit with a generation of gender-exclusive participants who look more like, well, ‘broads’ than ‘Broad
Street Bullies.’
The tide turned when Cammi Granato captained the U.S.
women’s hockey team to a gold medal at the 1998 Winter
Olympics. Granato was high profile thanks to her older brother’s regular gig as a professional hockey player for the New
York Rangers. Suddenly women across the nation were trading
in their field hockey clubs for skates and shoulder pads.
In Jackson Hole, the women’s program has grown by great
strides. The valley has no shortage of women athletes who
think nothing of strapping on a helmet and heading downhill.
Hockey was a natural next step.
“Athletic women have a very likely chance of picking up the
sport,” AJ Cargill said. Cargill, a former world champion extreme
skier, took up the sport a few years ago. “We’ve had several field
hockey girls take to it because they already had great balance.
Megan Field from the
It’s sometimes fun to just fall down and figure it out.”
2005 hockey calandar
Jackson Hole women’s hockey now fields three teams and a
total of 45 participants, ranging in age from 15 to 50. The teams – A (Passers), B (Chuters), and
C (Venom) – are ranked according to skill level. They practice two or three times a week and take
part in tournaments throughout the Mountain West. Take part? Make that ‘win.’
In September, the chicks with sticks took off for Breckenridge, Colo., to enter a tournament they
knew little about. They brought a mix of their A team and B team talent to a tourney that featured
some of the best women hockey players in Denver and Boulder. After dropping their first two
games to Aspen and Breckenridge, JH women’s hockey team rattled off three straight victories to
claim top spot at the event.
Powered by the stingy net-minding of Amy Lyons, offensive workhorse Canadian Megan Field,
and high school phenom Hayden Shea, 15, the women of Jackson Hole have become the team to
beat at every invitational.
This past weekend, the women’s A team placed second in the Women’s Harvest Classic tournament in Boise. The Passers were beaten in a shootout after standout goalie Amy Lyons was lost to
an injury.
Next up for the women are events in Park City, UT (Dec. 12 through 14), Missoula, Mont. (midJanuary), Sun Valley, Idaho (March), and Ogden, Utah (April). The team also hosts the Debra
Doom Cup tournament every year at Snow King Center. It is scheduled for January 30 - February
1, 2009.
Despite all their success in pads, it’s off the ice that the women of hockey have raised the most
eyebrows. Their enormously successful and sexy calendar has been an ingenious fundraiser for
the program while exposing the ladies of the sport in a softer light.
Cargill credits good coaching for much of the women’s success on the ice. This year, Moose regular John Frechette takes over head coaching duties from TJ Thomas.
The teams are always looking for new players. Interested women can contact Kath Roe at 7339106. A low-pressure Hockey 101 is being offered new this year which will put newcomers to the
sport under the tutelage of some of the players.
“It’s amazing how good of a time you can have as an adult in a team sport, just getting a good
sweat on,” Cargill said. PJH

Council Chronicles
TOWN COUNCIL NEWS by JAKE NICHOLS
Burn baby burn; coy council; holy land; toddler time
“Lighters Up” – Lil’ Kim
The city of Jackson’s burn week is perfectly timed for Nov. 8
through 16. Just when most dutiful American patriots have accumulated a garage full of campaign paraphernalia – signs stuck on
your lawn, flyers under the wiper, scraped-off bumper stickers –
here is the chance to torch the whole pile. Toss in a few stems
and seeds and breathe deep, get high, on your Ballot Bonfire. Oh,
and call dispatch first, 733-2331. Let ‘em know you’re smokin’.
To be continued
The council meeting before an election is always like this.
Developers who would normally be chomping at the bit to erect
their phallic towers suddenly don’t want anything to do with the
lame ducks sitting in a row on the council. The thinking is: why
waste time – sometimes known as money – whining and dining
politicos Mark Barron, Abe Tabatabai, and Mark Obringer,
when it could be Mike Lance, Greg Miles and Louise Lasley sitting in those cushy, high-backed chairs getting all the sugar?
Miller Park Lodge preferred a continuation of discussion on
the easement of their alley at 155 North Jackson Street. Willow
Street Partners, LLC also opted to wait until the council’s next
meeting on Nov. 17, when things are more ‘shook out.’ In fact,
the LLC doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to do anything at the corner of Pearl and Willow.
Dave Larson is representing the applicant who was on the
docket to request a reconsideration that would amend their
PMD project and buy three years to secure a Final
Development Plan and five years to nail down a building permit.
Larson has proved he has patience. He represented Smith’s
when the council didn’t want them in Jackson. Larson waited.
The council changed its mind. When the council voted 3-2 in
January 2002 to deny Smith’s the liquor license forked over by
Spirits of the West, Larson waited … and not very long.
Councilman Chris Kirk cracked the next day and switched his
vote. The champagne flowed.
It’s unanimous: Christ and kids are OK
Jesus can move mountains. So a lot line shouldn’t be much
trouble. It wasn’t. The council voted unanimously after about .3
seconds of discussion to allow the Jackson Church of Christ a
boundary line adjustment that would better accommodate construction of a single-family home to their east.
Kristine Jackson’s request to bump enrollment at her daycare
from six to 10 was granted by the council with equal ease. Mayor
Barron took the opportunity to express the city’s gratitude for a
dying enterprise.
“I would like the opportunity to let you know that the council
feels these neighborhood daycares are extremely important to the
community,” he told Jackson.
In other business
Audrey Cohen-Davis began first reading of a new ordinance
that would make straightforward the Exposition License fees the
city thought it was getting ripped off on.
“It’s too bad Rachel [Fuller] isn’t here. I know she’s worked
her tush off on this job,” the mayor said. Fuller ‘continued’ herself too, helping the meeting clock out at record 19 minutes, right
after Bob Lenz passed gas.
“I attended the gas meeting last week,” Lenz shared with the
council. “All the ski resorts are pulling in their horns, tightening
their belts, praying for snow and waiting for the nation to work
its way through this economic problem.”
Amen, brother. PJH

Dear Mr. President-Elect,
Hopefully, by today it will all be over
and you will breathe a sigh of relief, as
will the country.
Just know that many bright people
have been doing their homework while
you were out on the campaign trail.
They are ready to present an action plan
for the first 100 days of your Presidency
as to how you can best begin to address
climate change. We know that you have
a troubled economy to tend to, but this
economy with all of its failings is still
inextricably linked to our climate.
The University of Colorado has
engaged scientists, policy makers, business people and others to come up with
the Presidential Climate Action Plan
(PCAP). Rather than dictate what you
should do, this plan offers a menu of
choices for your administration to consider and then implement. Each suggested action has been researched by
experts and will mitigate some portion of
U.S. Green House Gas (GHG) emissions.

Joke of the week: How will the U.S. pay
for the multitrillion-dollar obligations to
people on Social Security and Medicare as
the baby boomers age?
“The first thing is for the politicians to get
together and think seriously about how we are
going to solve these problems.” We’re not sure
which is funnier; the “working together” part
or the “think seriously” bit.
The man behind the punch line is internationally renowned economist Robert Clark.
The 59-year-old teaches at N.C. State
University. He made our JH radar when he
told the News & Observer in North Carolina
that the inspiration for such observations
came from his beautiful surroundings at his
second home at the base of the Tetons.

“Though Barack Obama has made
inroads in some Republican states, he doesn’t stand a chance in Wyoming,” wrote
Michael Buchanan for the BBC. From all
the way across the pond, Wyoming’s cowboy attitude is plainly evident. “The cowboy
is ingrained in the DNA of Wyoming,”
Buchanan stated.
“Wyoming may not however be another
complete write-off for the Democrats,”
Buchanan closed, alluding to Gary
Trauner’s legitimate shot of beating
Republican Cynthia Lummis. “They have a
chance of winning a House seat here which,
were it to happen, would result in the first
Democrat in 30 years being sent to
Washington to represent Wyoming.

OK, after you get past the fact that there
is actually something called the
International Premium Cigar & Pipe
Retailers Association, rest assured they are
not digging the revived take about trying to
pass a smoking ban in Jackson.
The IPCPRA called the proposal to ban
smoking in all bars and restaurants a
“bridge to nowhere,” cashing in on the suddenly chic phrase. Their press release dated
Nov. 1 quotes Chris McCalla, legislative
director of IPCPR, as saying the marketplace in Jackson is regulating itself just fine
given that only one bar remains for smokers
– the Virginian.
“The Jackson Town Council has it right: a
smoking ban is not necessary. The Teton
County Board of Health should be devoting
its resources to more important matters,”
McCalla suggested.

Arch Coal, a major coal mining company
in Wyoming and huge University of
Wyoming sports backer announced last
week they were cutting back operations at
their Black Thunder mine in the Powder
River Basin. The news came just days after
Arch announced healthy profits for the
third quarter this year.
Arch blamed the slowdown on lower coal
prices in Wyoming as compared to mines in
the East. The St. Louis-based miner blamed
weakened spot prices for coal in conjunction with the worsening worldwide financial
problems. In addition, coal mined in
Wyoming fetches a lower price on the market than coal mined in Appalachia because
the Eastern coal produces more heat when
burned.
The story was published in CNN Money.

An interesting election story appeared in
South Korea’s Ohmy News International.
The news agency was wrapping up a series
of reports documenting conversations along
the 1,800 miles of U.S. 89 that stretches
from Mexico to Canada. The Korean
reporter asked everyone he met three questions: What is the most pressing problem for
America? Who do you think will win the
2008 presidential election? What does the
future hold?
Excerpt: “As you drive into Jackson, Wyo.
from the south on U.S. 89 one of the first
things you see is Albertson’s. It’s perhaps the
biggest, most fully stocked supermarket I’ve
ever seen, and includes a Tully coffee counter,
a reading center with working fireplace and
rustic wooden tables with free Wi-Fi. Its huge
parking lot extends from its front door to the
Days Inn to the south.”
The reporter managed to find one
Russian at Albertson’s – go figure – who
had sobering news for Red, White and Blue.
“America’s going to lose power to China,
Europe, and Russia,” he warned.

As so often is the case, the truck involved
in a fatal crash recently on Teton Pass was
overloaded. Florita Vega, 35, died Oct. 30
when a semitrailer driven by her husband
Gilberto Riojas crashed on a runaway truck

reported the truck was 18,000 pounds heavier than the 60,000-pound weight limit. The

Remembering the time it snowed 600”
NEW DARRELL MILLER FILM DOCS JACKSON HOLE WINTER 07/08.
With Halloween 2008 now in the
rearview of time, have you already laundered, folded and wistfully stowed away
your ceremonious freak flag to the great
footlocker of the future? If so (or not,
whatever), you might find solace in the
knowledge that it is time for yet another
beloved annual event, one that has
become an autumn ritual to many.
The upcoming weekend will see the
world premiere of 600”, the latest ski
and snowboard film from Darrell Miller.
The eighth movie in as many years for
Miller’s Storm Show Studios, 600”
highlights some of the banner 2007/08
winter for a cadre of devoted Jackson
Hole skiers and riders largely unknown
outside of Jackson Hole. (Most of them
are rather anonymous as top athletes
within the valley as well.)
While Miller’s last film, 2007’s 300”,
satisfactorily made do with footage
culled from the lackluster winter of
2006/07, considered one of the worst
seasons in recent memory, 600” captures some of the excitement of last
winter, remembered among even longtime Jackson Hole skiers as one of the
best since the mountain resort began
attracting diehards more than 40 years
ago.
With 600”, Miller does not veer far
from the formula that he has developed
over the course of the last eight years.
He films, and is filmed by, local skiers
and snowboarders riding some of the
most storied backcountry terrain in the

world. On a chronically shoestring
budget, Miller and friends collectively
pitch hundreds of hours in (true, they
would be out there anyway) either holding cameras or trying to go big for one.
For Jackson Hole, that of course means
gratuitous shots of playing in the deep
powder, especially throughout the many
storms that consistently unloaded so
much snow in the valley last year. It also

means 600” contains footage of local
riders – some relatively known, others
largely unheard of – ripping through
and over the fat bands of rock that have
become so identifiable (to those who
ski here or know it from film) as the
area in and around Jackson Hole
Mountain Resort. While a Miller film
may not have large appeal in the broader action sports film industry, where
hefty corporate sponsorships buy helicopter time, 600”, like previous Miller
films, does resonate with a characteristically core Jackson Hole audience.
“I make it for this place, for sure,”
Miller said in his home studio this week.
“It’s rewarding all the way around – not
so much financially – but people get
stoked on the flicks. And they get fired
up for the premiere.”
Before a powder-riding sequence
early in the 45-minute flick, Jason King,
a snowboarder who pays his rent not
through any sponsorship deals, but by
moonlighting at Blu Kitchen, announces
laconically his intent, “find God” in perfect turns – “again.”
Later in the film, when the antes have
been raised, local artist and skier Mike
Tierny finds a hard landing after
launching his person off of one sizable
cliff. Unfazed, Tierny charges it again –
a symbol of the indomitable streak in
Jackson Hole ski culture and, indeed,
of the spirit of Miller’s films.
The Storm Show Studios premiere of
600” screens Friday night in the Grand
Teton Ballroom at Snow King Resort.
Doors open an hour before the 6 p.m.
and the 9 p.m. show times. Tickets are

HOLLOW – WHEEE! - N
Planet JH photographer Andrew Wyatt waded through a hot mess of humanity on Halloween Night, capturing images of two well-attended dance parties at
Q Roadhouse and Pi Club. It was no enviable task, believe me; I was at both
parties too.
At Q, the fervor of haphazard glances and bumper-car flesh almost sent me
over the edge. The sound of the base was vibrating and coated everything like
warm gelatin. It spread onto the walls and dripped over the crowd of Sarah
Palins, Mexican cake decorations and demented clowns whose collective
gyrations demanded constant lubrication. On the deck outside, hand-rolled
cigarettes and relative quiet brought solace. Every once in a while, I would
step back into the humidity for 10-minute doses of absolute glee.
After hours we caught a cab to the Pi Club, which had peaked at about the
same time as Q, and so was winding down by the time we arrived. Reportedly,
the Pi Club was abuzz and people were dancing in front of a movie screen.
But I missed all of that. Instead, at five in the morning, I was running down
Broadway in my cowboy boots and union suit.
But not before I had fled a dark room where a zombie and a belly dancer
were kissing one another and making sexy looks into the cameras of middleaged men. Earlier, I was on top of the world, and next thing I knew I was fleeing the vacuum of the evening I had envisioned before it had even begun. In
retrospect, I spent most of the night on the deck at Q, and thumped myself the
following day for not having grasped the hand of opportunity, danced more or
at least made it to the Pi Club in time to check out the scene.
But in retrospect I had a great time. And considering the amount of hype and
preparation that goes into a holiday that celebrates over indulgence for all
ages, running from nothing to nothing was a fitting end. – Henry Sweets

MUSICBOX
Aaron Davis
A traveling musician’s on-the-road picks; Cabassi at Center Theater
The election is now over, and its time for fresh beginnings. The same goes for your music collection. On the
road for the last five weeks, I’ve been in search of new
artists, some of whom have narrowly eluded my good listening ear for too long. Others I had never heard of until
someone mentioned that they were a “must hear.”
I guess angelic reverb, a la Jim James of My Morning
Jacket, is the new cool. The Fleet Foxes sure think so. In
the spirit of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills and Nash,
these Foxes are on the prowl of something rather
refreshing. Unlikely instruments, strong harmonies, and
the best of folk-meets-rock make this quintet a band I’d
like to know more intimately.
You don’t have to be a fan of 1920s hot jazz and jug
band blues to like Austin, Texas’s White Ghost Shivers.
Self-dubbed “the Motley Crue of hot string bands,”
they’re theatrical stage show lit up the Continental Club
during a recent visit to their hometown.
Everywhere I went, the band Bon Iver (BON-E-VARE)
kept popping up. I finally scoped the Wisconsin trio, led
by singer-songwriter Justin Vernon, and quickly realized
their newfound appeal. Vernon recorded Bon Iver’s
debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago, in his father’s
remote cabin in Wisconsin. The heavily overdubbed,
atmospheric album evolved during a cathartic time of
isolation, post-band and woman breakups, and sickness.
Kentucky folk artist Mitch Barrett has won Merle Fest’s
Chris Austin Songwriting Contest twice. Check out his
solo stuff and also his acoustic duo, Zoe Speaks. He
blends Appalachian roots with old country, Motown and
reggae. He’s also a respected storyteller who sets his
live shows apart from other folkies.
Shifting towards the avant-garde, Indie rockers
Vampire Weekend from New York City describe their
sound as “Upper West Side Soweto.” They’re definitely
classically influenced, but there’s also a strong Afro-pop
influence. Another tag that I found to be laughable is
“trust fund frat rock.” Regardless, it’s artsy and experimental. They’re currently on tour across Europe.
Named one of Rolling Stone’s “Ten Artists to Watch,”
folk rocker Brett Dennen still appears to be off the radar.
I’m a big fan of his self-titled release, with an upbeat
acoustic guitar feel and a high-pitched voice that sounds
like no other. I’ve only heard a single from his new
release, Hope for the Helpless, which features Nigerian
Afro-Beat vocalist Femi Kuti. More production, more pop
was my initial reaction to the new sound. Hopefully others will take notice to this fine songwriter.
Ambient folk is on the rise. Toronto, Canada’s Great
Lake Swimmers are a quintessential example. I really dig
their sound—acoustic string music in the background
and airy vocals in the foreground make for a nice audio
landscape. Bet they can’t swim ‘cross them lakes.
Originally formed by David Berman along with
Pavement’s Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich,
Silver Jews have apparently been around since 1989.
Where have I been? Berman is the remaining member of
the three, and released the Jews’ sixth album, Lookout
Davide Cabassi
Justin Vernon of Bon Iver
Mountain, Lookout Sea, this past June. The new disc is
odd to my ears, but there’s something I like about it.
Berman’s mellow drone of a voice can be a little creepy,
backed by pretty female “oh’s and ah’s.” Their discography is worth researching, especially American Water and
The Natural Bridge.
All of these artists have a strong Web presence, so get
your google on and open your mind.
■
Critically acclaimed Italian pianist Davide Cabassi will
be touching down in the States this week, making a stop
in Jackson for a concert at the Center for Arts. The
classical player was a finalist in the 2005 Van Cliburn
International Piano Competition, a highly prestigious for
the 32-year-old.
Cabassi’s performance will be the last concert at the
Center until December, and rounds out the eclectic
goals of the venue.
“One of our priorities here at the Center is to present the full spectrum of performers at a range of price
points,” said Center for the Arts marketing director
Richard Anderson. “We’ve managed to cover quite a
few genres over the past 20 months since the Center
Theater has been open — blues, bluegrass, rock,
world, Broadway, singer-songwriter, a little jazz — but
we have not played host to a classical musician.”
Vampire Weekend
Cabassi is no stranger to the stage. He made his
orchestral debut at age 13 with the RAI Radio Symphony
Orchestra in Milan. His resume continued to grow, collaborating with the Munich Philharmonic, the Neue
Philharmonie Westfalen, and Russian Chamber
Philharmonic. Performance opportunities have taken him
across Austria, China, France, Germany, Japan, Portugal
and beyond. Last year, Cabassi traveled to the University
of Wyoming for a recital and educational program.
“Dancing with the Orchestra,” his debut CD for SonyBMG Records in 2006, won the Italian Critics Award for
“Best Debut Recording of the Season.” The disc features
works by Bartok, De Falla, Ravel and Stravinsky.
His upcoming performance at the Center will include
two impromptus by Franz Shubert, Piano Sonata D845 in
A and Modest Mussorgsky’s single-piano version of

Squarepusher
3.5 out of 5
The music industry is drowning in genres. The need to define
musical phrasing and its instrumental elements birthed category
titles like ‘Wizard Rock’ and ‘Pornogrind.’ Or how about some
‘Nerofunk’ or ‘Ghettotech’ (cue the endearing, feminist vocals,
“Hoes take off your clothes, hoes get naked”) ...
English Warp Records innovator Squarepusher kidnaps every genre you want to define
him in, chops and screws it, and spits it back out into a coagulated musical mess. The
result is a frenetic concoction of - forgive the genre-dropping - IDM and drum-and-bass
laced with jazz, electro, blues, rock and pretty much every other type of music you can list
off in one sitting.
A bass guitar virtuoso, Squarepusher’s newest instrumental endeavor, Just a Souvenir, is
melodic and ethereal with emotional blitzes of guitar-plucking and choppy, layered percussion. Sometimes, however, Squarepusher’s modus operandi – sped-up, slowed-down and
sped-up beats and guitar riffs – grows stale for listeners seeking a uniform four-minute formula.
Indeed, Just a Souvenir is only for the musically adventurous, the open-minded listeners
who have decidedly abandoned the process of defining just what it is they are listening to.

The School of Seven Bells uses sounds from the past to make lullaby dance music for the future.
The group sews together pieces of experimental noise rock, electro, new pop and other genres into a brooding construction of mechanized sounds and
danceable beats. It is a post-apocalyptical soundscape, but above it, floats the Celtic
vocals of twins Alejandra and Claudia Deheza. Distorted drums and distant synthesizers
contrast with their voices, and despite the slight tint of darkness, the music is mostly bright.
Tracks like “Iamundernodisguise” and “Face to Face in High Places” are very successful but some other tracks lack form and originality.
I am taken by the hip boundaries of dance music and songwriterly indie-rock, and enamored with the shoe-gazing ethereality of bands like Beach House and Broadcast. School of
the Seven Bells is mostly successful at tying those ends of the contemporary musical spectrum together.
The music is right for thoughtful alone-time, heady conversations about the human condition or weird late-night dance parties with close friends.

THE PILGRIM AND THE STARS
Enrico Rava
5 out of 5
Originally released in 1975, The Pilgrim and the Stars rerelease last
month reminded me of the relative vacancy of innovation and experiment in contemporary jazz since the 70s.
At best, jazz has been used in recent years by artists such as Roy
Hargrove as the baseplate for interesting new forms, and I’ve seen Rob Wasserman’s
Banyon experiment interestingly, even if all that talent purges more than plays. Un-fusion
jazz experimentation as a prevalent American artform is no more.
Enrico Rava on trumpet, John Abercrombie on guitar, Palle Danielsson on Double-Bass
and Jon Christensen on drums – playing at a time when (drug) music was more contemplative and subtle than heart-racing, a virtue that even the original jamband, the Grateful
Dead, understood. The tone of The Pilgrim and the Stars is not unlike Miles Davis’ Sketches
of Spain, but in delivery obviously comes much later than Davis’ 1960 release, and probably with influence from 70s Davis (Rava cited him as a major influence).
I dig this album, and on a recent drive through Grand Teton National Park – visitor centers closed, sky gray and roads free of tourists – it provided a suitable backdrop to the end
of the season.

Food news by Ben Cannon
A higher place
Stacey Cash and Zack Loyd are a
young married couple whose business, a
new West Bank coffee shop, is as much
a tale of opportunity-seised as it is a kind
of confluence point in the lives of friends
who have overlapped in Jackson Hole.
The idea for Elevated Grounds was
born when Starbuck’s pulled out of its
two Jackson Hole locations in early summer. Cash, who was working at the Teton
Pines Starbuck’s, and her former partner
were able to take over the lease and buy
much of the shop’s equipment at a bargain price. They did this, in part, with the
help of some displaced ‘regulars,’ some
of who not only helped them create a
business plan but also invested money in
Elevated Grounds.
“Really this whole thing came together
with the support of a lot of people,” said
the ginger-headed Cash, sitting at a high
table at Elevated Grounds. A few feet
away, her husband, whose unassuming
stature and amiable personality disguise
his bloodthirst for fast skiing, carried a
plate with slices of chocolate chip pumpkin cake to offer to the shop’s patrons.
Loyd, who co-owns a house-painting
business in the valley, re-painted much of
the interior, while Cash painted a sunnymooded mural of the sky on one wall. In
view from the front counter, a sticker
pasted above an employee sink encourages the reader to “Live the Life You
Love.” This mantra is printed beneath the
initials belonging to the late Kai Puckett,
who was killed while skiing in
Switzerland. I knew Kai around the time
of his death, while I was living and working in Garmisch, Germany. And I actually
first met Cash and Loyd in winter 2007,
during a “K.P.” memorial weekend in Big
Sky, Mont.
Most of the coffee baristas at Elevated
Grounds are close personal friends of
Cash and Loyd, including Alex “The
‘Bro’rista” Weston, who used to share a
small apartment with Kai in Germany.

ELEVATED GROUNDS: A BUSINESS OF CONFLUENCE.
Zach Lloyd and Stacey Cash, owners of the new Elevated Grounds.
And though the shop opened in late
September – the beginning of the ‘shoulder season’ for many local businesses
– business has been healthy, Cash and
Loyd said. Part of this can be attributed
to a built-in customer base for the only
true coffee shop serving the West Bank.
But patrons of Elevated Grounds will also
go there to find the valley’s more trusted
purveyors, like coffee by Snake River
Roasting, for one, and also Bunnery pastries, quiches from e.leaven and immaculate desserts created by world-renowned
chocolateer
Oscar
Ortega,
of
Ciaccolato. For lunch and late afternoon
snacks, the shop offers sandwiches like
the terraggon chicken salad and a line of
panini, including rare roast beef with brie
cheese and horseradish aioli.
Snake River Roasting even concocted
a new blend for Elevated Grounds – the
Elevator, with Ethiopian, Peruvian and
Sumatra coffee beans. The shop offers a
full menu of specialty coffee drinks.
But unlike what you would find with the
rigid corporate menu at any Starbuck’s,
Cash and Loyd said they will and have
stocked special items requested by a
familiar face.
“Mostly we want this to be a place
where people come to get comfy and just
hang out. A real community place,” Cash
said. PJH

Off-season art-treats at Artlab, LMC and Muse
Off-season is here and locals are thirsty with boredom, but this Friday a fertile crescent of art events
will stretch from Nobro to Sobro. Prints of nature, hiphop and human anatomy will be at Teton Artlab, a
vintage veggie-oil Mercedes and the men who raced
it across Mexico will be at Lyndsay McCandless
Contemporary and plein-air paintings of vastness
and light from Teton Valley will be at Muse.
For the last month Ben Roth, Rachel Kunkle
Hartz, Tristan Greszko, Travis Walker and a cadre
of others spent long afternoons holed up in the Teton
Artlab while an Indian Summer raged on outside.
Jokes, experimentation and crosspollination marked
the newly minted off-season print program, in which
local artists, many of whom know each other but
rarely share studio space, gather to learn the medium
of printmaking.
The program is the first major step for a bouncingbaby nonprofit version of Artlab, a gallery that spent its
first year as a for-profit venture. The fruits of their
labors will be for sale this Friday.
Artlab emerged as a response to Jackson Hole’s
unique art environment; where creative people flock
and might not be snared into any fold that will foster
the evolution of their work. The founders hoped to capitalize on the valleys unique natural aesthetic and the
New-West lifestyles that blends Old-West heritage with
contemporary ideas – a fertile ground for germane art.
Limited edition prints will be for sale for between $6
and $50.
The prints include a “Hip-Hop Bible” by Greszko,
babylonian iterations of Walker’s trailers, a red crane
by Rachel Kunkle Hartz, a goldfish by Rich Goodwin,
gun-sighted elk and too much other stuff to list.
The party will go from 6 to 8 p.m. at Teton Artlab,
135 N. Cache #5, next to Teton Thai. Call 699-0836
for more information.

Wyoming.
The contrast of open spaces and sky, or the
way light lands on intriguingly simple slopes of
color, are essential parts of the Teton’s aesthetic, and Stoetzer captures those elements
first and foremost.
The opening for “Voices of our Land” will
run from 5 to 8 p.m. at Muse Gallery, 62 S.
Glenwood. For more information, call 7330555.
Shannon Plumb is a video artist who
explores the intricacies of everyday human
shortcomings.
She makes films about old couples, new
mothers or slews of fashionistas. She is a good
actor who commands an array of androgynous
facial expressions, so she plays men and
women who are often de-sexed to expose their
curious inner qualities. The things those people strive
for become comedy, but are still celebrated.
She will speak tonight at 7:00 p.m. at the Studio
Theater, and her video installation “Paper Collection”
opens Friday in the Artspace Gallery. Both events are
in the Center for the arts. Call 733-6379 for more

special grease kit that recycles veggie oil, Mike DeVine
raced in the 2,000-mile PanAm race across Mexico.
Not only is the car beautiful, but for an American
culture that longs for the past and wants to be the
future, few things are as relevant as a vintage Benz
fueled by waste.
After a talk by DeVine
from 5 to 6 p.m., the “First

Post-Halloween health
Oh how sweet it is! All that candy has
filled the bags of your little trick-ortreaters, now what are you do? Just eat it!
That’s not what I’m recommending, but
rather that you use those treats to teach
your children to eat healthfully. The key is
to focus on balance, variety and moderation.
You can formulate a plan with your kids
and agree on how much candy they can
eat at a time, and when they can eat it,
says the American Dietetic Association
(ADA).
One thing that helps is having your children sort their candy into piles of
“favorites” and “not so favorites,” making
sure their favorites contain miniatures,
teaching them how to help control portions. Then let them enjoy the favorite
treats over time.
Remember, there’s a reason most of
our parents kept the cookie jar out of our
easy reach. Children need help learning
how to plan their food choices.
As your kids forage for snacks, make it
easier for them to choose healthfully by
making them convenient, visible and
effortless. It’s better to keep fresh fruit
on the counter, store cut up vegetables in
see-through containers in the fridge, and
put those healthy snacks where they can
be easily reached. That means no pies on
the windowsill, nor candy dishes on the
coffee table.
Candy can be a part of a child’s healthful eating plan — in moderation.
And as you teach your young ones
about healthy eating habits, keep in mind
that physical activity and lifestyle practices are important lessons too. There is
no better time than the early years to
make an impact on the lifelong eating and
exercise habits that contribute to health
maintenance and disease prevention.
Time to bring back the light
The colors of the leaves have changed
from green to gold, temperatures have
dropped, and now the season of shorter
days is upon us, signaling a time to
readjust our bodies for the change.
The shorter days can bring on feelings
of sadness, especially for those who suffer from seasonal affective disorder
(SAD). Many of us feel a natural urge to
slow our pace, but our bodies still need
daily activity. One important thing to
counteract the negative impacts of
falling into winter is to keep exercising!
Exercise elevates your feel good
chemicals, helping you maintain the
brightness you felt in summer.
Serotonin, dopamine and endorphins
are released during physical activity and
provide you with improved mood, stress
reduction, better quality of sleep, and a
sense of peace and higher self-esteem.

HOMEGROWN SATIRE
Travels with my knee
Not long ago, I swallowed a couple of
happy pills, got on a plane and flew to
Texas; at least, I think I did. I was on the
plane when it landed so I must have
been on it when it took off. I hate to fly
and only do so when in a state of rigor
mortis. Scary as flying is, once the
plane takes off, you are going somewhere, perhaps not where you wanted
to go, but you are going. Scarier still, is
the airport. It’s not going anywhere and
you might not be either.
I bring this up because of our tribulations in the airport. Coming home we
arrived with plenty of time, we thought,
but silly us we should have known better.
There was a major snafu at the ticket
counter which could have been solved in
a minute, but wasn’t. My husband was a
rock, keeping his cool, while I threw a
number of fits. He tried to ignore me, but
it is hard to ignore an old lady turning
purple and stamping around.
Our problems solved, we hit the security line now stretching across the airport. Those people weren’t there five
minutes before, but they were there
now. Meanwhile our plane is departing.
My husband breezed through security
but I set off every bell in the airport. I
explained that I had a titanium knee, but
they were not impressed. They went
over me again and again; my knee set
off alarms, my bra set off alarms, and
we were about to miss our plane. They
finally decided I was not a danger to
national security, we made the plane at
the last second, and we actually got
home in time. I just wanted everyone to

know that they are safe from attack by
my knee and my bra, and that should
make them feel kind of cozy.
I was reminded of Ludeen Larsen,
from Corn Cob County and her trip to
Omaha from the Des Moines airport. She
was a vegetarian and was subjecting her
husband to endless meals of fried tofu
and weird looking grains. She refused to
give up her cigarettes and liquid refreshment because she figured that tobacco
was a plant and therefore OK and that
booze was made out of fruit and grain so
it was like a large, wet loaf of bread. The
trouble started when security took away
her lighter and got worse when he tried
to take away her matches.
“How in the hell am I going to light my
cigarettes,” she hollered and hit the TSA
man with her purse. At this point, two
cans of beer fell out and rolled across
the floor. Now Ludeen had been in the
Navy and had a vocabulary to match,
and she didn’t get to go to Omaha that
day. Worse, when she got home, she
found her husband hiding in the kitchen
surrounded by Big Mac remains.
When I got home, I read a report that
said old people spend too much time
watching T.V. I was reminded of Fay
Fungo, who lives in Lutheran Acres in
Corn Cob. She saw a program about
pythons invading Florida. Apparently,
people toss their pet pythons into the
swamps and they make little pythons
that become big pythons and crawl
through people’s lawns and down their
streets. I don’t know of any pythons in
Corn Cob County, but who knows. Fay
became convinced that she saw a huge
python in her neighbor’s yard, or maybe
it was the giant earthworm she had seen
in another program. She grabbed her
garden hoe and rushed to the rescue.
After she chopped that sucker to pieces
it turned out to be a garden hose.
“Well it looked like a giant earthworm,“ she said.
She has promised to get new glasses
and stop watching Animal Planet. PJH
FLIPSIDE
Elderly Jackson pundit jailed for espionage
Capt. Mob Boris, elder statesman
and political haberdasher, was
arrested on his bicycle last Monday
for suspected terrorism and the
charges against him have escalated
to first class espionage.
Boris was pulled over for riding his
bicycle too slowly and deliberately
with pants that are too short. Several
cyclists a year are pulled over and
warned for such violations, according to County Clerk records.
But once Boris was pulled over,
the officer realized that Boris was
probably a terrorist.
“That thing he was carrying looked
like a HED (Handmade Explosive
Device) and Boris is the name of a
famous spy,” said Saul Squiggs, a
police officer who was recruited to
Jackson after two tours of duty in Iraq.
Once Boris was brought in to police
station, police discovered campaign
paraphernalia that favors the legaliza-
tion of marijuana and some pieces of
ancient Sanskrit text. The parchment
and paraphernalia was seized by
Captain Pivmerkitsch as evidence that
Boris is a terrorist who sates the minds
of young Jacksonites to exploit their
brain power and get information out of
the uber-classified mainframe computer buried in a secret vault, 100-feet
below the home of VP Dick Mamey.
“America is the greatest nation on
earth,” Pivmerkitsch said, “with the
greatest workers on earth. The topsecret information in Vice President
Mamey’s vault will keep these
Americans from thinking, so they can
keep working to make America the
greatest place in the world.”
In the lining of Boris’ suitcase, the
police found blueprints to Mamey’s
secret vault, as well as an electronic
pocket translator set to “Sanskrit to
English.” The police then deduced
that the Sanskrit text describes meth-
ods used by ancient vibrational
Buddhists to extract information from
other people’s brains. Pivmerkitsch
reckons that Capt. Boris was attempting to teach local service workers
how to meditate deeply enough to
actually extract information from
Mamey’s secret computer, which
some speculate is actually a giant
brain that has been fabricated from
the remains of victims of capitalism.
Pivmerkitsch has speculated that
Mob Boris was trying “fix” the election between Barak Orama and John
McPalin in Orama’s favor. The chief
also suspects that Boris recently
received funding from Russian
Leader Vladamir Poontin, who has
been frightened ever since John
McPalin announced on Saturday
Night Live that he is rolling wheelbarrows full of firewood through the
snow so he can win a fistfight with
Poontin. PJH

album review
It is common knowledge that James Taylor lived part of his life, and wrote most of his iconic
folk hits in a drug induced haze. Luckily, being the super star he is, Taylor was still able to produce offspring. James' son, Benjamin James, is now indulging his own disires in the world of
music. The Legend Of Kung Folk Part 1 (The Killing Bite) is the latest from Taylor The Younger
(to use the parlance of this past political season) and he follows close in his father's footsteps
with a classic folk sound and intimate lyrics. You can hear the sexy first single "Wicked Way"
and more on your channel for new music in the valley, KMTN. - Jack Murray

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Uranus is on the opposite side of
the sun from Saturn right now. To traditional astrologers,
that’s a stressful aspect. It bespeaks a titanic clash between
the forces of progress and the inertia of the past. But there
are mitigating factors. The expansive planet Jupiter is trine
to Saturn and sextile to Uranus, suggesting that unexpected
grace may provide beauty and healing during these strenuous moments of truth. I predict that’s what will occur in your
personal life, Aries. You’re well-situated to navigate smartly
through the brouhaha. For best results, respect the old
ways, but not so much that it slows down your exuberant
quest for the most interesting possible future.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Every year my friend Jim travels
to Cabos San Lucas in Baja California to participate in a
deep-sea fishing competition. He says the best way to catch
the big fish is with actual bait in the form of smaller fish. But
marlins can be fooled into getting snagged with merely pretty lures — colorful fabrications that look like food but are
actually made of metal, wood, plastic, and rubber. Jim says
that hammerhead sharks, on the other hand, will never bite
the fake bait. They’re too smart, insisting on the real thing. I
suggest you use this information as an allegory in the coming weeks, Taurus. You may find it to your advantage to get
yourself “caught” by a metaphorical fisherperson, but only if
he or she is offering you the authentic bait, not a simulation.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When the air is pure and clean, a
bee can smell a flower from 3,281 feet. The presence of pollution severely cripples the bee’s awareness of floral scents,
however, reducing its range to 650 feet. Consider the possibility that this is a metaphor for what has been happening to
you recently. Have you suffered a reduction in your sensitivity to sources of nourishment? Are you oblivious to gifts and
blessings that could be available to you if you only knew
about them? According to my analysis, this is quite possible.
freewill astrology
Luckily, you’re reading this horoscope, which will surely
motivate you to overcome the problem.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Dolphins love erotic play, according to the book Dolphin Chronicles. For almost a third of their
waking life, they caress and touch each other. They’re ingenious about using their Frisbees, plastic boats, and rubber
balls as sex toys. Gender isn’t much of an issue. There’s as
much same-sex as opposite-sex cavorting. If you‘d like to
place yourself in alignment with cosmic rhythms, Cancerian,
you will consider taking a page from the dolphin Kama Sutra
in the coming days. Remember, the key for them is simply to
play freely without any specific goal. Bliss comes as much
from experimenting with creative intimacy as from driving
toward orgasm.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): One of my friends on Facebook
describes her vocation as “Hammer of the Gods.” Her task
in life, she says, is to be a tool that the divine powers wield
as they nail together raw materials to make useful structures. While I don’t know if that’s also one of your long-range
goals, Leo, I do know that it describes a role you’d thrive in
during the coming weeks. So how about it? Are you ready to
upgrade your game in order to be the best hammer of the
gods you can possibly be?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m not necessarily suggesting
that you read Al Franken’s book The Truth (with Jokes). But
I do recommend that you make that title your motto in the
coming week. According to my analysis of the astrological
omens, there will be no such thing as truth without jokes, at
least for you. Every situation you need to know more about
will, if you investigate it, reveal some amusing riddle. All the
information that’ll be important for you to gather will lead
you in the direction of laughter.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Some years back, I maxed out my
credit cards to pay for recording my band’s CD. Soon after-
wards, following a few financial setbacks, I was close to
declaring bankruptcy. Luckily, my parents stepped in and
bailed me out. (Thanks, Mom and Dad!) Since then, I‘ve rigorously kept my debts to a minimum. That policy has, on
occasion, cramped my style, but it looks pretty wise in light
of the current financial crunch. Please draw inspiration from
my experience, Libra. Take inventory of any patterns in your
own life that may be distorting your ability to get the money
and resources you need. This is an excellent time to flush
your old conditioning and imprint yourself with good, new
habits.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Many times in my life,” says
philosopher Eckhardt Tolle, “it has been my experience that
the most powerful starting point for any endeavor is not the
question ‘What do I want?’, but what does Life (God,
Consciousness) want from me? How do I serve the whole?”
I offer that meditation to you, Scorpio, as you slip into the
heart of the reinvent yourself phase of your cycle. It’s time to
stage a grand reopening, launch a new (relation)ship, or
instigate a fresh batch of good trouble. As you whip up the
initiatory energy, ask the Big Cosmic Thou where it would
like you to go and what it would love you to do.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Whenever I find myself
growing grim about the mouth,” says Ishmael in Herman
Melville’s novel Moby Dick, “whenever it is damp, drizzly
November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily
pausing before coffin warehouses . . . it [is] high time to get
to the sea as soon as I can.” Use this passage as an inspirational kick-in-the-ass, Sagittarius. There’s no need for you to
sink into the emotional abyss Ishmael describes. Fix yourself before you’re broken! Get to the sea immediately, and
prevent the grey glumness from taking over. If there’s no
ocean nearby, then try the next best things: Walk along a
river or lake. Immerse yourself for long stretches in baths
WEEK OF NOV. 5
and saunas and heated pools. Cry and sweat and come
abundantly. Listen to music that makes you feel like you’re
floating.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This is the Week of the UpsideDown Rainbow. It’s a time when signs of good fortune are
everywhere, but always with some odd twist or anomalous
feature. Should you worry that the tweaks mean there’s
some mischief at work? Does it suggest you will have to pay
a price for the breakthroughs that are coming? I don’t think
so. My interpretation of the upside-down rainbow (or the
five-leaf clover or the torn $10 bill you find on the street) is
that you will be asked to expand your capacities in order to
take full advantage of the unusual blessings.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Should you go with the flow or
should you try to wheedle, manipulate, and entice the flow to
go with you? This is one of those rare times when I advocate
the latter approach. The flow is currently in an indecisive
state, when it could go one of several different ways. You
have cosmic authorization to nudge it in the direction that
looks to you like it will be the best for the most people.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the sci-fi film The Matrix, a
small band of people have managed to escape from the collective hallucination that most of their fellow humans are
stuck inside. Though life is hard staying free, there are some
perks. They can, for instance, get downloads of data directly into their brains that allow them to quickly master complex tasks. In this way, the heroine, Trinity, learns to fly a helicopter in a few minutes. I call your attention to these fictional events, Pisces, because I think you’re close to pulling off
real-life accomplishments that resemble them. First, you’re
in an excellent position to slip away from certain illusions
that enslave some of the people around you. Second, you
have an enormous power to rapidly understand new information and acquire new skills.˚
