Money dictates the game I usually get a chuckle when reading one of Mike Bressler's editorials where he abuses Richard Abowitz. However, after Richard's piece last week about Super PACs I would have to agree, that he is an idiot. To think that money doesn't win elections (especially primaries) ig- nores reality. Take the Republican primary that is currently in Florida. Who has the most money? Romney. Who is winning? Romney. Who's Super PAC just dropped 13 million to Gingrich's 4 million in one week? Romney. Who was probably the most reasonable candidate, but had no money? Huntsman. Where is he now? Richard also seems to think that all voters are as sophisticated as he is and can see through campaign ads. If that were true, there would not be a multimillion dollar industry dedicated to getting the message to various groups of voters. If anyone doesn't think that the problem in elections as well as in Wahington D.C. is not people or organizations with seemingly unlimited money to influence our elected officals, they need only google FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Jack Abranoff.

SnowReport Sponsored by New Belgium Brewing Skied slopes still unsafe The recidivistic avalanche is the repeat offender in our mountains this season. The recidivist is, “one who relapses; specifically: a habitual criminal.” So far this season Avalanche.org has reported nine avalanche fatalities in Utah, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. Locally, hundreds of avalanches have been reported and now slopes with broken snow and old bed surfaces are being reloaded. This winter how many times will one slide path avalanche? Early season snow sat for the month of December and it weakened. Then finally just before the New Year, the high pressure broke and snow fell. Most recently, the mid-January storm cycle de- posited 80 inches of snowfall and eight inches of water, adding a significant load to the persistent, deep-slab instability. Slide paths that avalanched in early January have slid again. Four-foot crowns, which appeared during the middle of the mid-January storm cycle, have begun to disappear due to wind transport and new snowfall. Every time skies clear avalanche crowns can be seen at all eleva- tions and aspects. Watch out for the recidivistic avalanche, because this season is a different experience, so treat it that way. Stay clear of slide paths above, do not trust old tracks, assess every slope even if you know it has already avalanched, and always be suspect of recent loading. – Lisa VanSciver

Mike Enzi were from a lesser state he may never have come to the V8, forehead-smacking realization that he was backing a loser. True, Enzi wasn’t the first Senator to di- vorce himself of the SOPA/PIPA bills that were to police the wild and unruly Internet by instituting tougher anti-piracy laws, but like several other co-sponsors of the proposed legislation, he did the right thing when he heard the roar of his constituents. Wikipedia chose to go dark for a 24-hour period in protest of the bills. Google followed up with an online petition against the legislation and re- portedly registered more than 4 million signatures in a matter of days.

He said hundreds of Wyoming residents had contacted him, worried that PIPA would stifle free speech and innovation.

By Jake Nichols

The entrance to the Independent Order of Odd Fel- lows (8 Jackson Lodge) is easy to miss. How many tourists and locals pass by the non-descript door sand- wiched between the Astoria Fine Art Gallery and the old Jackson Hole Clothiers and question what myster- ies lie behind it? Even the tell-tale clue – the gigantic “IOOF” lettering on the side of the building – would be of little help for most passersby. The Middle Ages guild that traces its roots to as dis- tant a time as 18th century England seems, well, oddly irrelevant in today’s society. When the Odd Fellows are mentioned, most people ask things like, “Are they still around?” and “Aren’t they some kind of underground JAKE NICHOLS secret society?” Hap Johnson points out some relics of the Odd Local Odd Fellow and Grand Secretary Hap Johnson Fellows’ past in Wyoming. has heard them all. honor the dead.

8 February 1 - 7, 2012 l www.JHweekly.com Don’tget sick

iving four years in Jackson without health L insurance, I’ve had to work constantly to have even minimal access to health care. For most of human history people could get by without health insurance. “I’m sorry Sir, but these leeches are not covered by your HMO. Also, demonic possession is considered a pre-existing condition so I’m afraid you’re going to have to pay for the exorcism out of pocket.” Today doctors are much better at treating real illnesses. Unfortunately, health insurance costs more than ever and if you’re not covered, well, just don’t get sick. My first night as a resident of Jackson Hole was spent at the emergency room. A college friend from Jackson invited me out to enjoy the mountain air and get my head clear after a nasty break up with my psychotic parasite of a girlfriend. I’m a pretty good driver but I’d never lived anywhere with snow. The road was clear and I was doing 80 on I-15 near Blackfoot, Ida., when I hit a patch of black ice on a frozen bridge and went flying off the road. I still remember the feeling of inevitable helplessness as the truck rolled three times, crunched in on all sides and came to rest up- side down in the middle of the interstate. I never lost consciousness and found my- self hanging upside down still strapped in

I was quickly snapped back to reality as another car hit the … if you’re poor same patch of ice, lost control and spun off the interstate missing me by ten feet. So there I was sitting on the bumper of an off-duty EMT truck, picking glass out of my face and wondering why I was still alive. in Jackson Miraculously, aside from a few cuts there was nothing wrong with me.

I was initially reluctant to visit the ER be- cause I knew I could not afford it. But after tak- ing eight Tylenol to no avail, I broke down and went to the ER at St. John’s Hospital. This was my first visit to a hospital as an unin- sured person and cost almost $200 which was about what I had in the bank. Needless to say I could not afford an X-ray or an MRI. The doctor grudgingly gave me a prescrip- tion for 15 Vicodin and some Flexeril. This was after he lectured me on the dangers of becoming dependent on painkillers. Thanks, Nancy Reagan. Leaving the hospital, I realized paying my bills for that night was the least of my worries, compared to trying to afford the health care that I would need going forward.

24 February 1 - 7, 2012 l www.JHweekly.com BookReviews The Sense of an Ending BY JULIAN BARNES Along with his friend Martin Amis, Barnes has kept the English satirical novel alive. But The Sense of an Ending has humor; the impact is closer to Philip Roth than Evelyn Waugh. INFORMATION Divided into two parts, this slim novel is narrated by Tony Webster. The first section involves Webster remembering his childhood crew who he claims to have never thought about much in his adult life. But Webster’s voice is heir to another British novelistic tradition, the unreliable narrator as in Ford Maddox Ford’s The Good Solider. In both books, part of the mystery for the reader is grasping what the narrator misses. Remains of the Day, also FOR ALL MEETING a Mann Booker winner, presented a similar challenge. It is not that Tony AGENDAS AND MINUTES Webster means to deceive or mislead the reader; it is that he is estranged from his motives and his emotions. This too is a peculiarly British type. Webster’s circle is enraptured with a gifted young man, Adrian. Webster writes, “We wanted his atten- WEEKLY CALENDAR tion, his approval; we courted him.” Upon heading off to college, of his childhood friends, he writes with so little sentiment that one wonders at how he got caught up in his own tale: “We finished school, prom- JOB OPENINGS ised lifelong friendship and went our separate ways.” In a predictable though nonetheless well told devel- opment, Webster loses his first serious girlfriend, Veronica, who then begins dating Adrian. At the end of the first section we learn of Adrian’s suicide, again not surprising in terms of plot development, but well- SOLICITATIONS FOR BIDS presented in this fiction. The second section hinges on a mystery. Forty years on, Veronica’s mom has died and bequeathed PUBLIC NOTICES Adrian’s diary to Webster. Webster is by now retired, and divorced. He has lived a Lucretian life of modera- tion and has achieved his stated goal of being one seemingly not “damaged” by life’s experiences. He has taken few risks fearing the pain that comes from failure. Before they broke up, Veronica called Webster a AND OTHER VALUABLE INFORMATION coward and he corrects the description to being peaceable. But something about the diary unsettles that peace. Webster knows that memory for him has become anecdote so completely that he can no longer truly remember his youth. VISIT OUR WEBSITE “The diary was evidence; it was-it might be—corroboration. It might disrupt the banal reiterations of memory. It might jumpstart something—though I had no idea what.” Being a British novel, class plays a subtle role in this book that will be hard for Americans to puzzle. WWW.TETONWYO.ORG But this is a story that has its roots in the same human emotions Henry James explored in another novella from 1903, The Beast in the Jungle. As Adrian decided that life was not worth living, Webster must face that he has lived a life that is not worth feeling. And, as this Barnes, the specter of Flaubert hovers over every page. The public meeting agendas and minutes for the Board of The Sense of an Ending has a title that captures an important element of the book. From the fragmented County Commissioners and Planning Commission can also be images on the opening pages, this is written for the second reading. – Richard Abowitz found in the Public Notices section of the JH News and Guide.
