READER COMMENTS On ‘Avalanche claims one’ ■ This is not a venue to criticize and slander someone who has passed away! You’re an asshole ‘So Worth It’. Family and friends will consult these sights and your conceited and judgmental comments are the last things they need to read. Take your shitty attitude and armchair quarterbacking somewhere else, its not needed here. I’m sorry for the loss. My thoughts are with the friends and family of Mike. ■ Does that look like a snowboard behind him. Mike was a skier. Oh and “So Worth It” F*** Off! ■ F*** Off! A friend would have told Mike that when he suggested skiing the face. The problem with deaths like these is that too few people stand up and say that they were making poor choices. They should have known better. Others follow in their path and repeat the whole process. Two deaths and counting.Two other members of Kazanjy’s party who were caught in the slide. ■ I’m sorry about your loss. This is why I urge people to buy a airbag pack for their loved ones. It will save their lives. Having an airbag pack is the first and only thing you will ever need in the BC. Go pick one up and let them know Miles sent you. Thanks and RIP brother. Sad to see a boarder go.

I don’t know how many times I have tried to explain to my mom back East not to send packages to the post office, but that it’s OK to send letters. She always gets it wrong. Mostly, she can’t get it through her head that we don’t have a mailman here. No one delivers mail. That blows her mind. Jackson Hole’s black hole of postal service is a pain in the ass sometimes. One has to be ever so vigilant about including both a post office box and a physical address when ordering stuff from Amazon and the like. How many times have I forgotten to include the PO Box on my order only to watch a package disappear into the mysterious “back room” of the 83002 building? Countless. USPS looks a lot like UPS when glancing at an onscreen shipping order. And who still uses the post office, anyway? Sometimes the people working at our post office are nice and helpful. Sometimes they are short and grumpy. I can’t fault them. It’s thankless government work in a dying industry dealing with impatient customers pissed off from waiting in line with a yellow slip for a phone book. It’s like getting the booby prize on Let’s Make a Deal. But now a new evil has surfaced. I’ve watched in helpless horror as a package that started out with FedEx or UPS as the shipper was suddenly handed over to the federal government somewhere along the way. No! Maybe it is just an anomaly during the busy holiday season when the big boy carriers needed a little help with overflow, but with Amazon’s recent deal with USPS to deliver for them on Sundays, I’m worried a disturbing trend is underway. And I’m not the only one. Madeleine Mundt has launched an online petition at Change.org. (“Request new procedures at the post office to limit auto-returns.”) It has reached 350 signatures.

Smith bolts for NFL, Pokes screwed Following another disturbing trend, Cowboys standout quarterback Brett Smith announced last week he would declare for the NFL draft and forego

his senior year at Laramie. The news is yet another kick to the groin of a university coming off a lousy football season. Smith was Wyoming’s only chance for new head coach Craig Bohl to turn things around. Without the 6-foot, 3-inch, 206-pound signal caller, the Pokes have little to look forward to. Smith told athletic director Tom Burman that Bohl’s hiring was not a factor in his decision. He simply couldn’t pass up the opportunity to turn pro and start making real money. The reins will likely be handed over to redshirt sophomore Jason Thompson, who has had no game experience. Smith completed 62 percent of his passes for 8,834 yards and 76 touchdowns. He ran for another 1,531 yards, finding the end zone 20 times with his legs. Smith said he will begin training for the NFL draft and is actively pursuing an agent. Smith’s bailout is all-too typical. College players are opting to declare early rather than risk a career-ending injury before they are inked to a pro team. Sensing a weak draft for quarterbacks, Smith’s move is probably smart. He should go by the third round and hold a clipboard for some pro team for next season until he is given a chance.

Give wildlife a brake

According to the Comp Plan, everyone reading this loves wildlife more than their firstborn. According to everyone’s driving, everyone hates wildlife more than Obamacare. A People are either hypocrites or completely oblivious to anything happening on the road. Christie Madsen wrote a letter to the editor saying she stopped for an elk herd outside of Wilson hoping fellow motorists would also show compassion and allow the wapiti to cross Highway 22. No such luck. People honked angrily and passed her, completely unaware of the elk. There’s no “I” in team but there is one in driving. It’s me, me, me. Meanwhile, Tom Mangelsen, who stakes his profession on wildlife and being aware of their wellbeing, managed to notice a wounded hawk a few weeks ago. It was fending off the attacks of ravens after likely being hit by a car. He rescued it y and turned it over to the Raptor Center. They released it after 10 days of rehab.

THIS WEEK Normal High 25°F Normal Low 2°F Record High in 2012 49°F Record Low in 1979 -50°F From meteorologist Jim Woodmencey

Average monthly January precipitation = 1.50 inches • Record precipitation in January = 4.91 inches in 1969 Average January Snowfall = 19 inches • Record Janaury Snowfall = 56 inches in 1969

Welcome to 2014! According to our historical weather records, the first week of January is the coldest week of the year. That makes perfect sense, since January is also the coldest month of the year, on average. At the same time, January is also the snowiest month of the year, which makes no sense at all, since when it is snowing a lot, it usually isn’t so cold that the brass-monkey has to worry about his nether regions freezing off. The Cool: The coldest stretch of weather we have ever had was at the end of December of 1978 and into early January 1979. There still are five record low temps that still stand from that first week of January 1979. The lowest temperatures were on New Year’s Day 1979: Low of 50-below, High of 22-below. There was also a temperature of 63-below recorded near Moose, Wyo. The Hot: Occasionally, it gets warm in Jackson in January. This week in January 2012 we had a couple of days that almost tagged 50 degrees. When we have that type of “extreme” warming in January in Jackson, you feel as if you could run through the streets naked, especially if you have just had a stretch of below zero temps. The hottest day ever in January is actually part of next week’s almanac, but I can tell you it would be plenty warm enough for that monkey to get his manhood back. Jim has been forecasting the weather here for more than 20 years. You can find more Jackson Hole Weather information at www.mountainweather.com. Sponsored by BOMBERBRYAN.COM

Catching up with Conrad

a Conrad Farnsworth is still at it. We profiled the Newcastle brainiac in our “Geek Week” issue after he built a nuclear Conrad Farnsworth reactor in his parent’s backyard shed. After conquering nuclear fusion, Farnsworth has gone on to other endeavors including his latest projects – ultrasound machine design and "a little fractal research,” according to Farnsworth. He also built a collapsible drone on a 3-D printer. It didn’t fly. He will try again in 2014. Despite his successes in 2013, Farnsworth might be happy to see the year end. He failed to get into his dream school, MIT, and was later disqualified from the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for a rules violation. But his phone kept ringing. The Huffington Post, Fox News and The Colbert Report all wanted to profile the teenage genius. Farnsworth now attends South Dakota School of Mines and recently told the Rapid City Journal he has dozens of other projects he wants to get to in the new year.

All is not well with Wyoming gas With natural gas prices continuing to plummet, Wyoming has a real problem. Too many abandoned wells are turning up both on public and private land. According to a story in AllGov.com, there may be as many as 1,200 neglected wells statewide that need cleaning up or capping. An additional 2,300 wells currently sit idle as their owners wait for a healthier market or have gone out of business. Capping 1,200 wells will cost an estimated $8 million. The state annually allocates only $1 million for such work. Gov. Matt Mead is proposing another $3 million over the next four years to address the problem. Some organizations, like the Powder River Basin Coalition, say it’s time for the state to get tough with companies that exploit Wyoming’s resources. “There has been a lot of hand-holding and coddling over the years when it comes to oil and gas operators and their ability to pay the bonding,” Jill Morrison, an organizer with the group, told The New York Times.

In a Wyoming Business Report story, Perry said while he was a commissioner he worked hard to promote business-park zoning in the county in order to attract different types of businesses to help diversify Jackson’s tourism-centric economy. According to the piece, commercial or light industrial space is needed in the valley. Jackson Hole leases run about $17 per square foot as compared to about $3 in Cheyenne. Using the proceeds from the saw of land that Walgreens is building on, Perry has secured property he wants to build the park on. It will be called Space Tech, which is also an acronym for South Park Advanced Center for Entrepreneurs and Technology.

Idaho moonshine hits shelves Just in time for New Year's Eve, the Idaho Statesman and Teton Valley News both ran a story on Idaho's Grand Teton Distillery and its Teton Moonshine newly-released hooch. The Teton Moonshine series includes two flavored whiskies – Spiced Apple Pie and Huckleberry – and a blended American clear whiskey. The Teton Valley-based distillery has already won raves and awards for their potato vodka – infused with Oregon cherries. Now, thirsty patrons can look for the trio of 80 proof moonshine concoctions distilled from an 80/20 split of corn and potato. A 750-milliliter bottle will retail for $19.95.

Lose the ling An exotic fish species just made the hit list in Wyoming. Beginning last Wednesday, all burbot caught by state anglers in the Green River drainage are to be killed. Also known as ling, burbot are in the freshwater cod family of fish that have learned to adapt to colder climates. They are believed to have been illegally introduced to the Green. Wyoming Game and Fish, along with University of Idaho and Trout Unlimited have launched a seek-anddestroy initiative, hoping to restore native trout and bass to Flaming Gorge, Fontenelle, and Big Sandy reservoirs which have seen dramatic changes in desirable game fish due to burbot predation.

Snake Charmer? New owners optimistic about Sporting Club’s third iteration Story and photos by Jake Nichols

Johnny Counts never found the pot of gold he was looking for along the banks of the Snake River just south of Hoback Junction. The lifelong bachelor panned for gold in the area named for him (Johnny Counts Flat) near Astoria Springs, sluicing away 100 wheelbarrows of dirt a day for a penny’s worth of gold per load. A century later, a steel magnate with dreams of pay dirt also failed to strike it rich here. Only death could release Dick Edgcomb from the debt and derision he accrued during the 10 years he worked the land at the river’s bend. The troubled Snake River Sporting Club has begun its next iteration. New ownership and management in place at the golf course-cumsad sack story believe they can turn things around at the bend in the river that has collected a silt storm of problems in the past decade. The club held an open house Saturday to show off the revamped 26,000-square-foot clubhouse, the nearly finished Martin Creek Cabins and the 7,765-square-foot Martin Estate, currently listed at the discount price of $800,000. The new management team was on hand to field questions and spread holiday cheer.

Jeff Heilbrun Longtime valley resident Jeff Heilbrun, recently named COO of the new Snake River Sporting Club, was flown in for the occasion. Heilbrun spent 18 years with Teton Pines, serving as the GM from 2005 to 2010 and returns after three years in North Carolina. He said he always knew he would be back in the valley. In fact, he never sold his house here. A friend of the investment group that purchased the club suggested Heilbrun would be a perfect fit to restore public confidence in a development awash in controversy. Gone is developer Dick Edgcomb, who began the nightmare at the turn of the millennium with his dream of a world-class golf course and residential development. Edgcomb was quickly

From the bench, overlooking the river bed and more than 550 acres. at loggerheads with environmentalists and river users for disturbing a pristine watershed with bunkers and tee boxes. By 2002, the uproar culminated in a popular bumper sticker reading: “Stop the Canyon Club: Jackson Hole needs more Eagles and fewer Dicks.” It was clear: replacing birds with birdies wasn’t going to be easy. Digging was halted several times by nesting eagles and osprey, protected by court order. When the county enforced 150foot setbacks, Edgcomb got jiggy with the identification of the river itself, renaming a braid of the Snake “Trout Creek,” and claiming he could build holes 2, 3 and 4 right on top of it since it was not technically the river, according to Planet JH and News & Guide news stories. When Teton County proved to be a pain in his ass, Edgcomb also tried a backdoor deal, attempting to add a 144-acre parcel to the south of his original development that straddled the county line with Lincoln County. All through the mess, Edgcomb wasn’t paying his contractors. One by one they either quit working or sued him or both. With both the Canyon Club and Snake River Canyon Ranch floundering in debt and lawsuits, Edgcomb bailed. He sold out to New York-based real estate developers Dolan, Pollak & Schram in 2005. When the market turned sour, even they couldn’t save the jinxed property. In 2008, DPS filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy with more than $91 million in debt and 456 creditors standing in line, according to a News & Guide story. Chapter 7 was upgraded to Chapter 11 in 2011, beginning the liquidating of assets process and forcing the county to cash in construction bonds and step in to keep the place from melting back into the riverbed. Edgcomb’s death in 2011 accelerated an eventual deal to turn the golf course, 68 lots and unfinished 23,000-square-foot clubhouse property over to yet another real estate development firm. Before her death last summer, Edgcomb’s widow, Carolyn, was able to see a deal finalized with Cygnus Capital Real Estate Advisors. Another entity bought the adjoining

ranch property. The Atlanta-based firm made immediate changes. But we’ve heard it all before.

Fore! “We’re a friendly face for this place and we want energy,” Heilbrun said. “This place has been waiting for some positive things to happen and it’s happening. We’re excited. There’s been a lot of good response. Everything is moving forward.” Heilbrun’s first order of business was to rescue the golf course. The 18-hole course designed by PGA legend Tom Weiskopf had fallen into disrepair over the years of disuse. Only the diligent efforts of course superintendent Gregg Ornowsky kept the course from completing disintegrating. He was Heilbrun’s first hire. “Jenny Baker is our member services manager,” Heilbrun said. “We have a director of outdoor pursuits who oversees aisjfecll the outside activities. His name is Will Hobbs. And Gregg Ornowsky will be our golf course superintendent. He and Will were here when it closed down, so we’ve brought back some of the old crew that know some of the members and know the lay of the land.” All 18 greens were rebuilt. The sand-gravel layers were scooped out and replaced. Greens were reseeded last July and by August, crews were mowing them. The bunkers were also completely redone, and the fairways were airified and fertilized. Heilbrun is confident the course will be playable by May. By summer the course will once again resemble what Weiskopf himself called his finest work to date in 2006 when it was finished. Kali Quick agreed. Quick was named the club pro just this week. She is likely the first female head professional in the state of Wyoming. But breaking ground is nothing new to the 27-year-old. In 2010, she was named head pro at Lakeview in Meridian, Idaho – the first woman to hold a head pro gig in the Gem State. The former Kansas State star then moved to Shooting Star, where she was

Kali Quick first assistant for the past three seasons. “I couldn’t be happier,” Quick said. “I’m so excited and looking forward to this opportunity, especially considering I will get a chance to really grow with this course because we are both kind of new to each other. I am honored for the chance to put my mark on it. I’ve got everything in front of me.” Quick said she had a chance to walk the front nine last fall and has talked to numerous people who have played the world-class course. “People say it’s phenomenal. I know it’s unique and it’s challenging. Just based on seeing it, I’m honored to get to play it, and I’m ready for it,” she said.

mering away on the luxurious cabins at Martin Creek and NYC-based interior designers, WRJ Design Associates that also has an office in Jackson, were hired to freshen the clubhouse. WRJ co-principle Rush Jenkins said his main challenge was to create something “modernish” and inviting. “It was our pleasure to have been involved in the rebirth of the Snake River Sporting Club,” Jenkins said. “Our role was to take the interiors and create an environment that would be appropriate for the region and comfortable for the members. We wanted to be current but also speak to the rustic mountain vernacular without being too rustic. We tried to be consistent with that classic lodge setting that has been pretty prevalent in the region for the past 20 years. But we also chose something more modern and lighter. Overall, we wanted to make people feel like they were walking into someone’s home versus walking into a lodge.” Jenkins juxtaposed a more contemporary feel to the traditional Western look by using textures and lighter-colored fabrics. Belgian linens and wools, and Moroccan-style rugs were kept cream-colored or beige to help lighten the setting and “bring the space up to current form and make it fresh,” Jenkins said. “Altamira [Fine Art] was very generous consigning all the artwork that is in the lodge,” Jenkins added. One touch that seems a staple with any Western lodge is evident immediately: the obligatory taxidermy.

“Obviously, you think you are going to see taxidermy. You expect it in a Western lodge,” Jenkins said. “But with the traditional elk mount, there is a twist. We love this particular piece. We had originally designed it for Larry Hagman and it was part of the Larry Hagman estate. You can still read the insignia: ‘I was shot by JR.’”

New day dawning? Cygnus has poured more than $11.5 million into the rededication of the 554-acre residential community property. Plans to push the real estate opportunities at the club will proceed slowly and with caution, according to REMAX Obsidian’s Chip Marvin. “We’ve had quite a bit of interest in the three cabins under construction now,” Marvin said. “We have no further cabins planned as yet. We are taking a slow attitude toward the real estate end; trying not to rush the market with product.” Marvin said Obsidian will also represent the older building sites at the extreme south end of the property that are not already privately owned. Lots along Wagon Road and Tall Timber Road are in varying states of livability, from partially built to abandoned. Heilbrun said he and Cygnus have worked hard to rebuild lost faith with the community and improve the working relationship with county officials, which he said was very good right now.

More than links Assuming the financial mess is behind them, including the highly publicized foreclosure of a home purchased by former Atlanta Braves all-star pitcher John Smoltz, can Cygnus and company shake the bad blood and rebrand the club as something positive? Does Jackson Hole need yet another golf course for a sport enjoyed three to four months out of the year? “Yeah, I get that question, and I get that argument. But it’s more than just that,” Heilbrun said. “It’s not just another golf course. Golf is an amenity. It’s also about the fact that we’ve got all these trails. We’ve got an equestrian center, and six miles of private fishing access, and boating, and 18 holes of Frisbee golf. It’s really cool. We’ve got a climbing wall with cardio and weight equipment on the way, available 24 hours for our members.” Heilbrun added that members also would enjoy kayaking and canoeing on certain channels of the Snake and in a private pond. Equestrians will enjoy boarding and riding opportunities out of the nearby barn. A sporting clay and skeet shooting range will be added. Winter activities include a groomed Nordic track for cross-country and skate skiers, as well as a skating rink, sledding hill, and 25 lockers set aside for club members in the Crystal Springs Lodge at the Village. Heilbrun also noted an emphasis on kid-oriented activities and programs. “We’ve got a three-dimensional archery course where you go out on a trail where there are life-size deer and stuff like that,” Heilbrun said. “We’ve got paddle boards down at the pond, and we are putting in paddle tennis courts. An old storage room in the clubhouse has been repurposed into a game room for kids with a Ping-Pong table, Xbox, stuff like that. We will be as kid-friendly as can be with junior camps, junior golf programs. It will be a real Jackson Hole experience for the kids.”

NELLIE McKAY with TURTLE ISLAND QUARTET

CASEY DONAHEW BAND

McKay brings quirky jazz with Grammy-winning support; Casey Donahew Band brings chart-topping country.

Country and cabaret By Aaron Davis

Holiday, Strayhorn and stringlaced ’20s cabaret My first YouTube stalk of singer-songwriter/actress Nellie McKay featured the London-born New Yorker sitting solo at the piano on late night television in 2006. McKay mordantly rambled a spoken word, Tom Waits-esque rant full of social commentary and injustices. The upcoming Center Theater performance will feature McKay accompanied by the jazzy string stylings of two-time Grammy award-winning Turtle Island Quartet. The two entities share improvisational realms matched with Doris Day charm and find “amazing, fun and beautiful ways to dance together,” said fiddler David Balakrishnan. Balakrishnan also complimented McKay as “always being mysterious,” springing from her jazzy edge as a multi-instrumentalist (marimba, piano, ukulele) and boundless creator. McKay’s career has been somewhat cryptic in nature, a hard-to-pin-down free bird that continues to forge in unpredictable directions. In a floating, dreamy quality merging Astrud Gilberto vibe with Zooey Deschanel’s role in She & Him, McKay houses a smoky, old-fashioned vocal qual-

ity. Match that with a fair amount of innovative rhythmical moments from Turtle Island, and this particular collaboration may raise some curious brows. The music of Billy Holiday, Billy Strayhorn and the Weimar cabaret of the 1920s could easily be treated with a historical traditional reference, but I don’t think this will be one of those moments. Nellie McKay with members of Turtle Island Quartet, 7 p.m. on Friday at the Center Theater. $40-$55. JHCenterForTheArts.org, 733-4900.

A Pyle of Western folk-pop With a refined finger-style approach on the acoustic guitar, insightful storytelling and consistently genuine songwriting, Chuck Pyle has stayed the course for more than 40 years. While John Denver, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Suzy Bogguss have recorded Pyle’s songs, country fans know him best for writing “Cadillac Cowboy” which was recorded by one of Wyoming’s greatest musical exports, the late Chris LeDoux, as well as “Jaded Lover” recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker. A rootsy Western folk style rolls easy with The Zen Cowboy, a relaxed performer with plenty to offer in and out of song. You have two nights to choose from. Chuck Pyle, 8 p.m. on Tuesday and

Wednesday Jan. 8-9, at Dornan’s in Moose. Tickets are $15, available at Valley Bookstore and Dornan’s. 733-2415.

Texas ’tude at the Tav Inching closer to the cookie cutter lyrical tracks of CMT’s top hits with lines like “A buckle bunny in a halter top/With a rockin’ little body that just won’t stop/Her legs go on and on and on ’til I lose my mind,” Casey Donahew Band comes from the Texas school of no holds barred twang n’ trash. It all started with the downhome scenes depicted in the 2006 Texas hit, “White Trash Story.” The year 2012 brought “Double-Wide Dream,” and the recent album STANDOFF debuted at number one on the iTunes Country Chart and number 32 on the Billboard Top 200. “We’re big supporters of the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms and standing up for what you believe in,” Donahew said. “We thought it was a great concept for the new album, hence the title. It also sums up a lot of how we’ve spent our career in the music business too. We’ve done it on our own as outlaws outside the system. I’m very excited to take this new collection of songs out to the fans.” Casey Donahew Band, 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday at Town Square Tavern. $15. 307Live.com, 733-3886.

Phelps Overlook, Death defying By Jake Nichols Got snowshoes? A fun winter hike in Grand Teton National Park is the easy jaunt to Phelps Lake, the park's sixth largest body of water. Sure you've probably done this hike a million times but have you done it in winter? It's totally different. The hike to the overlook is 2.6 miles each way with a total elevation gain of about 730 feet. It's a popular and easy hike in the summer. Be prepared to wait for a parking space at the Granite Canyon Trailhead in peak summer months. Right about now, you'll have the place to yourself. The trail begins with the Whitegrass Ranch Road. It's here in this beginning stretch you may encounter a moose but little other wildlife will be around at this time of year. The cleared meadows of the old ranch are visible after the first mile on your right. Whitegrass first opened in 1919, becoming the valley's third dude ranch. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. After 1.6 miles you should see a sign for Death Canyon trailhead. That means you have an-

other mile to go until you are at the overlook (7,200'). You can probably skip the scramble down to water's edge for the customary cool-off dip. Save that for another six months along with continuing on into Death Canyon from here. That might be something better left for warmer weather but the canyon itself is fascinating. First the name. The story goes that a member of T.M. Bannon's survey party of 1899 wandered into the canyon and never returned. He was assumed killed by a grizzly or maybe Shoshone. But maybe he just passed all the way through to Idaho via the Teton Crest trail and came out through the Alaska Basin. The U-shape valley is a clear indication it was carved by retreating glaciers (some 15,000 years ago) as opposed to Vshaped canyons which are generally cut by lava flow. When the canyon does tighten up some, the trail jumps up on the base of Albright Peak to your right. To the left, the wall is more shear up to the top of Static Peak. About the coolest, if not oddest, feature of a Death Canyon hike is a chance to sample the

Death Canyon barn serves as a ranger post near the trail. park's best root beer. I don't know if he is still alive but Black George was handing out root beers a few years ago from the Death Canyon barn. The barn was built in 1935 by the CCC. It was listed in the national registry in 1998. It's about two miles up Death Canyon from the Phelps Lake overlook. The structure was used as a patrol cabin begin-

ning around 1945. By the 1950s, a seasonal ranger was often posted there for the summer. That's where Black George comes in. George Simmons, a New Orleans native, was the park's oldest volunteer in 2011. At age 87, George was still handing out root beers to parched hikers. His single-season record, according to a story in REI, is 575.

Who knew some of the valley’s best sliders were at a sushi restaurant? However, calling Nikai a “sushi restaurant” doesn’t do it justice. When I remember to look at its menu of cooked foods, I’m always impressed. But 100 percent of the time, I still fall back to sushi rolls, usually ordering the Luxe (a Kobe beef and lobster roll with teriyaki wasabi sauce and tempura crunchies, $15) and the Bonsai (panko fried soft shell crab and avocado topped with tobiko, scallions, and yuzu vinaigrette, $16). I hate being predictable but, well, you try either of these rolls and tell me you don’t want them again and again. Last week, I was able to branch out – a bit. I shared Nikai’s Kobe Beef Sliders ($10 for two) before digging into the Luxe and several other specialty rolls. Nikai’s sliders, like the rest of its non-sushi foods, have an Asian twist. The Kobe sliders are topped with shitake mushrooms, kaiware sprouts, wasabi aioli and teriyaki sauce. Because

I love pickled ginger and there happened to be a sizeable pile of it on the table, I ad-libbed and put a couple of slices of it on my mini-burger too. My mouth is still recovering from the explosion of taste. The buns are substantial in height, but perfectly compressible. The beef, from Snake River Farms, is so tender it is difficult to tell when you bite through the bun and into the meat. The Kobe sliders aren’t the only sliders on Nikai’s menu. There are also Sake Sliders (again, $10 for two), but I did not try the house-made spicy salmon burgers topped with cucumber salad and spicy aioli and served, like the Kobe sliders, with sweet potato fries. Although the Kobe sliders were the extent of my adventures into ordering from Nikai’s non-sushi menu, others in my party went further. And were generous enough to let me sample. The Lobster-Coconut Bisque ($12) might be the best soup on any menu anywhere in this valley. Never again will standard lobster bisque do. Using coconut milk, the bisque is every bit as thick and rich as a pure

(tempura sweet potatoes inside topped with toasted eel, avocado, sweet soy, and sweet potato crunchies, $15) is as sumptuous as any Cezanne. I’m not a fan of eel, but combined with sweet potato – both the tempura spear inside the roll and the crisped wisps sprinkled on top – it is one of my new favorite things. Together the pair makes me think of honeyed barbecue as you get a smoky taste from the eel and a sweet flavor from the sweet potato. Or perhaps I’ve just got barbecue on my mind because I can’t stop thinking about the slider. Open nightly at 6 for dinner; 225 N. Cache; nikaisushi.com; 734-6490.

This coconut bisque hits your tongue with a loud, “Fu!&ing yeah!” and then launches into the Lambada. Then there is Nikai’s sushi. Nikai’s nigiri is right up there in terms of freshness and quality ingredients. But, it is the restaurant’s specialty rolls – heavily sauced and requiring sentences on the menu to detail ingredients – where executive sushi chef Laura Inukai and her staff are at their boldest and best. Inukai says that creating sushi rolls is akin to enjoying art. Nikai’s Sunny Unagi roll

RedneckPerspective Moving on from muffins By Clyde Thornhill Many in Jackson are lamenting the closing of Shades Café and the loss of menu staples such as Eggs Tomavo, delicious homemade soups and robust salads. Also gone will be the generous support of the local arts scene that featured live music, poetry readings, dinner parties, popup boutiques and art openings. I’m mad because it means no more free muffins. Susie, my Shades girl and chief day-old muffin supplier, has moved on to Healthy Being Juicery. After futile attempts to obtain a free muffin at Starbucks, Persephone Bakery and Cowboy Coffee, I decided to give Healthy Being Juicery a try, though I had my doubts. I wasn’t sure exactly what a Juicery is, and the expression “Healthy Being” implied tofu, bean sprouts, and other violations of neo-regional-classic Hog Island cuisine. My attitude perked up when I saw Healthy Being’s symbol on the juice bottles, a darkened silhouette of a naked woman. I had seen similar icons used for strip bars, and it suggested a good time was to be had by all. “Clyde, welcome!” Susie exclaimed. While several attractive women worked with her behind the service counter, I noticed there was no dancer’s pole. Once again, new age product promotion was attempting to capitalize on iconic symbols that have been used for millennia to objectify the female form, to equate a woman’s worth, in a socio-cultural context, with her body’s appearance, (Objectification Theory: Fredrickson & Roberts, 1997). I didn’t mind the obfuscation. The more examples of nude females the better. “Got any day old muffins?” I asked. “Clyde,” she said, “We sell artisanal, cold-pressed, 100 percent organic, handcrafted daily, small batch juice, complete with enzymes, vitamins and trace

minerals that combine a balance of flavors and health-stimulating nutrients.” I’m not a big juice drinker. However, I had a bottle of gin left over from a Christmas party and gin needs a good mixer. The host had told guests to take home any leftovers and as the bottle of gin was three quarters full I figured it qualified, and that it would keep better than plum pudding. I looked at the menu board and tried to decide which juice would make the best martini. Beets with Granny Smith apples? Cucumbers, lemons and ginger? Carrot, coconut, kale and lemon? Or perhaps green juice made with collard greens, cucumber, parsley and celery? “Gosh,” I said, “So many choices.” Then I remembered that anything involving naked women – from strip bars to “Naked” brand smoothies to girlfriends – is expensive. How much for the juice?” “Twelve dollars,” Susie said. Twelve dollars! I could buy a basil, strawberry, lemon, agave, lime, sea salt, cucumber and mint martini at Ignite for that much with the booze already included. However, it is poor taste to disappoint a counter full of cute women so I told Susie to pick a juice for me. She handed me her concoction. “That will be $14,” she said. “I thought you said $12?” I questioned. “The juice is $12, silly. But with the bottle it is $14.” The juicery may not have a pole, but its pricing matrix is remarkably similar to that of finer gentlemen’s clubs. I got home and made a drink. I doubled the gin, halved the juice, and it wasn’t completely unpalatable. But healthy cocktails? What will be next, organic, free-range bacon?
