A word from our readers

Who’s spending, now?
FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
Matthew J. Irwin
Going public
My publisher says that I sometimes use this column
for “liberal rants.” I’m not sure how she confuses the
truth for a rant, but anyway . . .
In JH Weekly’s ongoing attempt to create dialogue,
take the argh out of argument and shed some levity on
the big things in our little town, we’ve hired a public
editor, of sorts.
As Mike Bressler points out in his inaugural column
as public editor, a person of his typical stature at a
newspaper holds the measuring stick of journalistic
principles over the bloody knuckles of reporters.
But as I explained to Mike, JH Weekly doesn’t exactly
hold the same standards as The New York Times, which
expects its freelancers to stay in line even when they
are writing for other publications.
The Times is also very aware of conflicts of interest,
nepotism, back-scratching and blatant boosterism,
which, of course, so are we. However, a reporter can
hardly finish a sentence in this town without it crossing someone they know, “crossing” being a double entendre for “intersect” and “upset.”
So what do we do? We call attention to it. This might
be our tagline, “JH Weekly: Calling attention to it since
2002.” “It” includes a lot of things, including objectivity,
our position being that it is an empty banner of days
gone by. We want to take sides, but we want our sides to
be informed by our reporting, not the other way
around. We also think our community could benefit
from taking itself less seriously.
Enter: the public editor, version JHW.
The tricky thing about bringing on Mike in this role is
that we want to provide him direction on the kinds of
things he should be looking out for without specifying
what he should target. Sure, we might regret it (The
public editor of Seattle’s The Stranger seems to hate his
paper.), but after taking a few soft jabs at the
News&Guide and JH Underground recently, we thought
it only fair to have someone look at ourselves, as well.
Think of Mike as a reader’s advocate - your advocate.
He’s under strict instructions to not take any more instructions from us, but he’ll take your questions, comments and threats directly to us, get some answers,
then respond in his column the following issue.
Email Mike Bressler at [email protected].
His address will be printed at the bottom of his column
every week, as well.

No local athletes in Vancouver. So what?
By Ben Cannon
On Tuesday, a couple racers from
the U.S. Ski Team were training on
Snow King, trying to stay focused on
the biggest competition of their lives
by going through the motions just
days before the 2010 Winter Games.
Jackson Hole isn’t represented by
anyone on the Olympic roster this
time around. However, I would wager
that if you asked some of the U.S. athletes, particularly the women training
on Snow King, whether the spirit of
this place would appear in Vancouver,
Snow
they would tell you, “Absolutely.”
Sure, we had a few shots at sending
a familiar face to the Games, but it
wasn’t in the cards this time. Just to be
clear, I’m not saying anyone’s making
a fuss over that fact.
But Jackson Hole has its strong
Olympic legacy. A talk last month by
valley residents Pepi Stiegler and
Tommy Moe, both former gold medalists in skiing, was so well attended that
some people couldn’t even catch a
view of the champions as they spoke.
The New York Times ran an article

boarders have to focus on a single discipline to advance. Jackson Hole native son Travis Rice, once one of the
top pipe riders, didn’t want to give up
all the fun he has in the backcountry
just to win at the X-Games and the
Olympics. To Rice, keeping it real
meant following his heart into rural
areas in British Columbia – granted he
has the backing that allows him to fly
around in private helicopters.
But the idea of pursuing a desire,
be it Olympic gold or finding enlightenment on a powder day, have equal
footing in Jackson Hole. Almost. JHW
“Why force feed this to the only municipality in the state that runs a responsible budget?” Thinking our mayor must have gotten Ground Hog’s Day
mixed up with that other non-holiday April Fool’s Day I laughed at his little
joke until I read on and realized he was serious. This, after just okaying
$75,000 for a bouldering park for Jackson, not Jackson, Mississippi, but
Jackson, Wyoming at the same time cuts in services are being
considered. Then, I recalled this is the same town government that
after much public loathing finally tabled a multi-million dollar monstrosity
planned for the Home Ranch parking lot, but then went ahead and allocated
over $50,000 to draw up the plans for it anyway. To most Wyoming communities the size of Jackson, $125,000 is still is quite a bit of money and picks
up quite a bit of garbage and removes quite a bit of snow. Then there is that
multi-million dollar white elephant disguised as a three quarters empty
parking garage but enough has been said about that. Mayor Barron is outraged at state representative Jorgensen’s embarrassment at asking the state
for more money for local projects when the city isn’t using all of its taxing
powers. Outside of the Hole there is little sympathy around Wyoming for
elitist Jackson. Though Mayor Barron is an Independent his donating
heavily favors Republicans so I think this outrage is only party deep. It
makes for good election campaign posturing but little sense. Republicans
aren’t really as opposed to pork barrel spending as they let on; it’s only
when they’re not rolling that barrel is when they get upset. It’s all politics,
locally or nationally, it’s about taking credit and shirking blame.
The Republicans are desperately trying to pin this economic collapse on
the Democrats denouncing their tax and spend policies as opposed to the
Republicans’ spend, cut taxes for the rich and spend some more under the
eight years of our boy president George Bush with six of those years under
total Republican control who ran up bills that made all those liberal Democrats look like pikers, borrowing more money than all of his predecessors
combined. True Obama has even topped that but Bush was handed a Ferrari
and totaled it and now Obama is trying to rebuild it with a pitcrew of
chimps. Trillions of dollars gone just like that and $13 billion, 363 tons of
one hundred dollar bills sent to the warzone of Iraq. POOF gone, did a J.
Giels and got lost somewhere down the line. This phony staged outrage is
especially galling when you consider that Clinton, who I was no great fan
of, handed Bush a balanced budget and a surplus. As a staunch Independent I was a little suspicious of that surplus but it looked good on paper anyway. Congresswoman Lummis and ex-governor Palin are both up in arms
about Obama and the Democrats stealing from this nation’s grandchildren. I
guess they don’t like anybody working their side of the street since neither
of them voiced any concerns about Bush financing his unnecessary and immoral wars that those grandkids may well be still fighting the same way. But
God forbid that those grandkids will have affordable health care. That Republican lie about death panels was actually somewhat true but it isn’t
Obama pulling the plug on granny, it’s the insurance companies pulling the
plug on grandkids who have policies canceled for pre-existing conditions
like acne or can’t afford their outrageous premiums to begin with. Not that
I’m defending the Democrats, they’re just neutered and house-broken Republicans but from the local level on up I would find all this Republican
hypocrisy funny if it wasn’t so nauseous.

JH Weekly regrets a couple errors in a News Brief, last week [“Nods to flicks

February’s rays
As February creeps upon us the days grow longer and the sun’s rays reach new slopes.
Finally the mid-day sun casts on Snow King causing the lift ride to be a bit more enjoyable.
Although the sun feels good on us, the effect on the snow’s surface is not quite as desirable. Recrystallization of the snow from the sun’s warmth has created a breakable crust on
all aspects except northerly, making smooth turns a bit harder to pull off.
On north aspects, light snow still exist upon a potentially, hazardous hard slab, which
could be triggered by large loads or by finding the right trigger point. On Feb. 6, south of
Jackson in the Snake River Range at mid and lower elevations several hard slabs were released by skiers and snowmobilers. The avalanches ranged from class two to class three,
and were each at least 36 inches deep. Recently in the Teton Range, there have been reports of 18-inch soft slabs triggered by skiers exploring the backcountry. Although on Feb.
2, skiers released a sizable hard slab at 8,300 feet on the northeast ridge of Teewinot. So the
deep instability still exists.
Even though our thin season shaped up with a few big dumps, the snow coverage is still
lacking. Without the strong winds and constant snowfall Corbet’s Couloir remains closed.
The Wilson Faces and other low elevation runs still have exposed twigs and stumps. We
can only hope the next storm comes soon and wet, so it bonds to the surfaces created by
February’s rays.

New editor chaperones JH Weekly’s conscience
I always rooted for David over Goliath, I will sporadically
cast pearls of journalism morals before the trampling
feet of our friendly competitors, the News&Guide. So
here are my first observations from the news stories of
Feb. 3.
Last week’s “Planet” reported that Fitzgerald’s Bikes
are “hosting the first of what could turn into a series of
Is indoor virtual reality
why you moved here from New Jersey?
indoor virtual bike races” where “riders can watch themselves compete against their competitors on a big screen
television that will simulate a hilly bike race.” This is almost as bad as a heated indoor arena for cowboys! If I
may politely inquire, is indoor virtual reality why you
moved here from New Jersey?
Ben Cannon’s story told of the tribulations of the
Teton Ice Park an “artificial ice-climbing area.” Artificial
ice-climbing? I had to check this out. Apparently, the
Teton Ice Park offers ice climbing on a 100 by 100 foot
cliff in the Grand Targhee Parking lot. The ice is formed
with the assistance of a 3000 gallon tanker truck and low
flow shower heads. I doubt either the ice or the climbing
is artificial, but I do question the fee of $360 for a full day
of guiding. In an attempt to rescue any remaining maintain dignity associated with the profession, I would request the word “guide” not be used in conjunction with
parking lot ice climbing.
Lastly, is a quote from Christie Koriakin’s story on
snowflakes. “(Kenneth) Libbrecht, Professor of Physics
and the Physics Department Chair at the California Institute of Technology, has been studying and photographing snowflakes for more than 10 years.” Really?
Perhaps this is the one man who could comprehend the
meaning of an indoor virtual bike race. JHW

Mary and Matt asked me to be the JH Weekly’s public
editor. “Hell yeah,” I said. I thought for a moment then
asked, “What is a public editor?” They didn’t seem to
know either, but they said The New York Times has one
and the Jackson Hole News&Guide doesn’t. Sounds like a
good enough reason to me!
To better understand my new job I went to journalists’
number one source – Wikipedia. “The job of the public
editor is to supervise the implementation of proper journalism ethics at a newspaper … as a valuable symbol of a
high standard of ethics for a newspaper, the firing of a
public editor over any criticisms they might have would
contradict their purpose.” I’m not sure what they mean
by journalism ethics but in this economy, you would
have to be an idiot to turn down a job that’s own purpose would be contradicted if they fired you!
Because Jackson is a small town and the JH Weekly is
selective in the stories it pursues, and because I can’t resist, I will occasionally write about unique cultural phenomenon observed and reported on by the JH Weekly.
Also, because they offer such an easy target and because

Woe is Wyoming
By Jake Nichols
Pronghorn get love, none for pika
The Obama administration recently declined to add
the pika to the Endangered Species Act for protection despite claims that global warming has severely threatened
the high-country critter’s habitat.
The American
pika, that diminutive relative of the
rabbit, likes it cold.
Alpine hikers are familiar with the animal’s high-pitched
squeaks from boulder fields and talus
slopes in the greater
Yellowstone ecosystem. The pika’s thick coat keeps it warm in the winter,
but summer temperatures of 78 degrees Fahrenheit or
greater can be deadly.
The second longest land migration route for pronghorn antelope in the Western Hemisphere will remain
open thanks to a conservation easement worked out between conservationists and a ranching operation, according to the Gillette News-Record.
The easement secured by The Conservation Fund protects 2,400 acres of the Carney Ranch in Sublette County.
The ranch lies along the migration path that hundreds of
pronghorn antelope use every spring and fall to move between their summer habitat in Grand Teton National
Park in northwest Wyoming and their winter grounds to
the south in the Green River Basin.
Skiing in JH: totally American
Toyota’s president of North American operations,
Yoshimi Inaba, never imagined himself testifying before
Congress to explain his company’s recent safety issues.
The 63-year-old executive had barely mastered the English language during his college education at Northwestern University in the 1970s.
The turnaround for Inaba began when he decided to
immerse himself in American culture. A process, Inaba
said involved playing softball, golfing, taking in the Indianapolis 500, and taking a ski trip to Jackson Hole, Wyo.
Working in JH: total anonymity
“When he was on top, he was Dominic Carter, the boxy
political anchor for NY1 and longtime host of the cable
news program Inside City Hall,” wrote New York maga-
HONORING INGER
zine. Carter is one of New York City’s most prominent
African-American journalists and a well-liked political interpreter of the New York City scene, often called upon to
explain New York’s power elite to Chris Matthews or
Charlie Rose.
That was all before the anchorman’s fall from grace
last fall when the New York Post broke the story of
Carter’s spousal abuse. Carter told the NYC glossy there
were dark times when he wanted to escape it all.
“I thought about moving to Jackson Hole and getting a
job at their supermarket. Part of me, even when I was on
the top, wanted a life where nobody would know who I
was,” Carter said.
Wyoming down on itself
Wyoming ranked most pessimistic according to the latest Gallup poll regarding economic confidence. Residents
of all 50 states and the District of Columbia were asked to
rate current economic conditions as “excellent, good, fair
or poor.” The follow up question asked whether respondents thought conditions were getting better or worse.
Despite dreadful job losses in Michigan, that state was
edged out of the bottom spot by Wyoming, whose respondents were most despondent. JHW

NEWS BRIEFS
By Ben Cannon
CHRISTIE KORIAKIN
Chamber: Unemployment ‘highest in decades’
Powder days bring out locals, but what about tourists.
More visitors are deciding last minute, making conditions alluring.
As winter storms hammered
the local hills with snow last
month, ski resort officials were
trying to find ways to protect
their slopes from getting hammered by the economy.
Skier visits at Jackson Hole
Mountain Resort were below average last month, although there
is usually a lull between the holidays and the first weeks of February, when skier numbers
usually pick up.
But Jackson Hole spokesman
Zahan Billimoria said that while
skier visits were down in January,
resort officials are counting on
healthier numbers beginning
now in mid-season.
“We relied on airline and lodging indicators to tell us about the
budget forecast and it looked
pretty good for us,” Billimoria
said.
To help boost numbers in this
tough economy, resorts across
the land are offering deals that, if
not unprecedented, haven’t
been seen in a long time.
One Jackson Hole package
deal available to skiers and riders
in neighboring states includes a
lift ticket, room and lunch for
$99 – only a few dollars more
than the usual price of a full-day
lift ticket.
The “Ride. Eat. Sleep.” offer
puts groups of four in a one-bedroom condo in the Aspens and
includes lunch at Nick Wilson’s
Cafe at the base of the mountain.
That deal, which expires today
but may come back later in the
season, created a noticeable increase in visitors coming from
Utah, Billimoria said, but, for
whatever reason, lured few visitors from Idaho.
“The response was huge,” Billimoria said, referring to the
deal’s popularity among some
Utah skiers and riders.
Jackson Hole and others are
increasingly turning their atten-
8 February 10 - 16, 2010
tion to the “value market,” or
skiers and riders who plan ski vacations on a tighter budget.
“Guest spending habits have
really changed,” Billimoria said.
Ski vacationers are increasingly
inclined, for example, to buy groceries and make dinner in the
condo rather than going to
restaurants. One advertisement
Ski vacationers are
increasingly inclined
to buy groceries
and make dinner
in the condo.
for the $99 deal informs potential visitors about the “wellstocked” market within walking
distance of the Apsens condo.
Resorts are also having to
compete for a growing number
of skiers and riders who decide
last-minute where to go.
“That’s a trend we’ve seen
heightened by the new frugality
of the new economy,” said Shannon Hamby, a spokesperson for
Grand Targhee Resort.
While Grand Targhee does not
necessarily compete with Jackson Hole – it attracts a regional
crowd, for one, half of which
comes from Idaho Falls, Hamby
said – the Alta, Wyo. resort has
rolled out deals of its own to attract more skiers and riders
within driving distance.
A December offer to buy four
lift tickets good anytime this season for $120 was so popular that
Targhee extended the deal
through January. The deal is still
around but the price has gone
up about $9 per day, to $199.
The resort has also offered
buy-in-bulk deals on rooms that
can be used throughout the ski
season, based on availability.
Resort personnel guard skier
numbers as an unofficial industry rule, but Hamby said, “Our
overall skier visits this winter are
tracking ahead of last year’s skier
days and ahead of this year’s
budgeted skier days.”
While that statement may be
cryptic, the fact that Targhee can
get by on visitors from the population base nearby may help that
resort weather the ongoing economic maelstrom more nimbly
than some of the larger resorts.
And one thing both resorts
have going on right now is snow,
their respective spokespeople
said. The Teton area is among
the leaders in snowfall received
this year. Jackson Hole has received nearly 10 feet of snow
since Jan. 15, according to blogger and Teton Gravity Research
co-owner Todd Jones.
So far, that has given the local
hills an advantage when it comes
to attracting ski vacationers who
wait to see which mountain has
the best conditions before
choosing a destination. This is
not true, however, for Jackson’s
Snow King, where the snow coverage is anemic in places, particularly near the top of the
mountain.
But the word about the terrific
conditions at Jackson Hole recently, the result of heavy snowfall
with little wind, isn’t just being
broadcast by marketing people on
resort Web sites and Twitter.
Local ski film companies have
been uploading video and photos of skiers and riders enjoying
banner conditions in Jackson
Hole, in almost real time.
One short video made by KGB
Productions and posted to
YouTube has been viewed more
than 4,400 times since it was
posted on Feb. 2.
Showing a handful of top local
skiers skiing and landing in deep
powder, the video, titled It’s Still
Snowing in Jackson Hole, would
make some skiers and riders
long to visit Jackson Hole soon.
As one viewer commented,
“awe man! wish i was was there!”

Police are still looking for a man they say brazenly entered a south
Jackson home early Sunday and rummaged through the bathroom drawers, then fled the scene without most of his clothes.
One of the home’s two residents, a man, went to investigate after
hearing the sound of a door
shut in the house, according to a crime summary
provided by the Jackson
Police Dept. Upon seeing a
bathroom light on, the man
went to the bathroom and
saw a tall man, possibly
around 6 feet, 3 inches,
with blond hair to his
shoulders.
The male resident
grabbed the tall man while
his wife called police. The
suspect then tried to flee
the scene, but the man was Intruder leaves clothes behind.
able to stall him by grabbing
onto his clothing.
The suspect was able to struggle loose, but left his coat, shirt and
vest. The authorities followed the suspect’s footprints to Aspen Drive,
and also found a shoe that had come off in deep snow.
Police have released this photo of the suspect’s clothing and ask anyone
who recognizes the clothing to call Corporal Russ Ruschill at 733-1430.
Elk refuge feeding to begin
Elk wintering on the National Elk Refuge will receive supplemental
feed starting Friday, a full three weeks later than the program usually
begins, refuge officials announced Tuesday.
Wildlife managers attribute the late start to below average snow
cover and efforts to produce more natural grass on the refuge. Elk are
less likely to bunch up when natural forage is available, which helps slow
the spread of communicable diseases like brucellosis, as well as more
serious diseases that are not affecting the local elk and bison herd but
could in the future.
The supplemental feeding program, in which managers distribute alfalfa pellets onto the refuge, has been criticized by some, including the
former manager, as an artificial solution that could spread devastating
disease among elk and bison.
Last year, the refuge received a $4.3 million grant from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to replace and expand an irrigation system
in order to increase natural forage.
“We hope to shorten our future feeding season as a means to reduce
the risk of spreading disease within the elk and bison herds,” refuge
manager Steve Kallin said in a statement.
Film highlights Wyo. child judicial issues
A new film expected to air on Wyoming public television this spring
aims to highlight the ways in which the state’s judicial system frequently
underserves minors who get into trouble.
In 2006, Wyoming had the country’s second highest rate of minors
locked-up, according to a trailer “Juvenile Justice in Wyoming,” a documentary about how Wyoming kids, particularly the ones from poorer
families, are commonly penalized for offenses as minor as skipping
school and smoking.
Filmmaker Marc Homer, who coordinates the Kids Count program for
the Wyoming Children’s Action Alliance, said the majority of Wyoming
residents are unaware that most juvenile offenders enter the system
through adult courts, and only the most serious offense are protected
under the privacy of juvenile courts.
“This is an issue that’s been below the radar for many people,”
Homer said.
While the film sheds light on the problem, it also constructively offers
solutions, he said.
Wyoming is the only state that never signed the Juvenile Justice Delinquency and Prevention Act, which sets rules for how juveniles can be
detained and keeps them away from adult detainees. JHW

Resorts roll out low prices

Teton County’s unemployment rate in December climbed as high as
9 percent, making it among the periods of highest unemployment seen
here in decades, according to data released Monday by the Jackson
Hole Chamber of Commerce.
The February edition of the Jackson Hole Economic Dashboard, a
monthly roundup of recent economic indicators, also reported sales and
use income tax for December was down 34 percent from December
‘08, according to numbers supplied by the Wyoming Dept. of Revenue.
Historically, unemployment is higher in December than January, although employment data will not be available from the state’s Dept. of
Workforce Service until around the first week of March, the local economic reported stated.
Lawmakers crank up 2010 session
Legi. will decide on new DUI Legislation, minimum wage hike.
By Jake Nichols
Governor Dave Freudenthal delivered his annual
“State of the State” address to his constituents on Monday, focusing most of the hour-long message on fiscal
concerns. The speech marked the opening of the 2010
Budget Session where the big question – is the economic forecast gloomy enough to crack open the ‘rainy
day’ reserves? – was answered: Not yet.
Urging fiscal constraint, Freudenthal suggested legislators keep out of the $1 billion in state reserves, believing Wyoming may not have hit rock bottom.
Teton County representative Keith Gingery sponsored HB38, a bill that would toughen DUI laws – a
campaign highlighted in recent local newspaper headlines when Jackson resident Ty Watson received three
years probation for his 10th DUI charge. Prosecutor
Brian Hultman said the case underlined the necessity
for reforming state DUI laws.
“It’s the exact same bill I brought last year which
passed the House, then [Sen. Tony] Ross killed it in the
Senate,” Gingery said. “Well, he took a lot of heat for
that, so he is making good now.” Ross introduced his
own DUI legislation, which Gingery said is a watereddown version of his that removes both the aggravated
DUI charge for offenders registering more than 0.15
percent BAC and criminalizes refusing a chemical test.
The four-week session has generated a combined
115 bills from House and Senate, down from 153 in the
previous budget session in 2008. Select bills from the
House include HB28, which asserts that firearms made,
sold and used solely in Wyoming are exempt from federal regulation. HB21 would raise the minimum wage
in Wyoming to $7.25 per hour and from $2.13 for tipped
employees like servers to $5 per hour.
Senate proposals include a ban on texting while driving , and possibly implementing a pay toll system on I-80.
State sovereignty
Maybe the most intriguing news out of Cheyenne
this week was a perceived federalism groundswell.
Wyoming lawmakers appear to be joining the trend
of states trying to win back power from Washington.
The Wyoming Senate introduced a file that could potentially allow Wyoming to opt out of any national
healthcare bill policies, should such legislation pass.
House Bill 47 would authorize the state attorney general to sue the federal government over any failure to
follow the federal Endangered Species Act or the National Environmental Policy Act.
Gingery co-sponsored a joint resolution to repeal the
Seventeenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,
passed in 1913, which wrested senatorial selection from
state legislators and allowed for an at-large election.
The idea has received an undercurrent of support nationwide but University of Wyoming Political Science
Dept. head Dr. James King said it wouldn’t pass.
“This has no chance of going anywhere,” King said.
“You need two-thirds of the House and Senate; it’s a
high bar to change any constitutional amendment. This
repeal would be taking power out of the hands of the
people. I don’t see any national movement that would
deny voters playing a part in that process.”
Other proposed joint resolutions called for feds to
back off when it came to state’s rights and balance their
budget while they were at it. Wyoming lawmakers requested Congress to “cease and desist from enacting
mandates that are beyond the scope of the enumerated
powers granted to Congress by the Constitution of the
United States.”
Perhaps anticipating being branded a zealot,
Freudenthal attempted to head off controversy during
his “State of the State” address Monday.
“Now I’m not one of these people that’s talking
about secession from the union,” the governor said. “I
think that the experiment of the United States is the
most remarkable thing I’ve ever seen. But there are
states and we have prerogatives.”
Freudenthal criticized the the federal government for
“regulating nearly everything,” saying states need to be
more than empty vessels that execute federal policy.
Other proposed legislation included identifying bullying tactics of street gangs, capping bogus ATM fees at
$1.50, and making it a criminal offense for minors to
get their ‘bronze on’ at tanning salons. JHW

I-80 a gauntlet for pot smugglers
Recent busts are seemingly random, official says.
By Matthew Irwin
Wyoming Highway Patrol doesn’t provide special training or increase troopers on Interstate-80
during harvest season, but marijuana-related arrests on the
cross-country corridor always go
up from October to January, according to a WHP spokesman.
“Seizures normally go up in the
month of October until about
now,” Sgt. Stephen Townsend
said. “It’s been later this year, may
have been due to the weather.”
Troopers may have been too
busy with car accidents, he said,
or growers may have decided to
wait for the roads to clear.
An early bust on I-80 this season yielded 40 pounds in the back
of a U-Haul in November. More
recently, on Jan. 29, 20 pounds
were found in a four-door sedan
and three pounds in a Penske
rental moving truck. Troopers
made at least four other busts on
I-80 in January alone.
Two major interstate highways,
I-80 and I-90, run through
Wyoming. A third east-west corridor, I-70, runs through Colorado.
Of the three, however, I-80 is the
straightest shot from the West
Coast, where Townsend said the
marijuana is either smuggled
from Mexico or Canada, or grown
right there in the state.
WHP officials are in contact
with thier counterparts in Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Montana,
who all report an uptick in busts
during the fall, Townsend said,
but it’s unclear whether the late
busts on I-80 this season are part
of a larger trend.
Townsend said that smugglers
do not use any particular vehicle,
and in fact have been caught in
just about everything from sports
cars to 18-wheelers, in which they
hide the pot among other cargo.
The vehicles were pulled over
for traffic violations, and not because troopers were tipped off or
otherwise looking for them,
Townsend said. The November
bust followed a stop for swerving
outside Cheyenne. On Christmas
Day, a man ignored the closed
highway between Cheyenne and
Laramie. Townsend was unable
by deadline to provide causes for
the Jan. 29 stops. They took place
outside of Elk Mountain and
Rawlins. JHW

So it does not

Inger Koedt on defying the Nazis and why it still matters
MARY GROSSMAN
By Mary Grossman
Students of the JH Jewish Community Bet Sefer school spend an
afternoon with Inger. Bottom left to right: Isaac Grossman, David
King, Inger, David Pepper, Dillon Weiss, Aaron Scher. Top: Aaron
Trauner, Aviva Thal, Colby King, Esther Grossman, Ben Scher.
JH Weekly: Miep Gies died recently at the age of 100. Like you, she is referred to as “Righteous Among the Nations” in Judaism for hiding Jews from
the Nazis. She famously helped hide Anne Frank’s family.
You are at an age when the heroes of that time are vanishing. How important is it to keep these stories alive for future generations?
Inger Koedt: I feel it’s very important, especially because I hear people
going around saying [the Holocaust] never happened, the concentration
camps and all. I mean that’s terrible, and I think it’s very important that
kids get to know about it. And I also think it’s important that, not to
brag about my country of Denmark, they know [saving Jews] was a spontaneous decision made by the Danes collectively. It was simply that when
it was known that the Germans were going to take the Danish Jews to
concentration camps, people didn’t even think about it, most people just
helped. And unfortunately, there were a few that did talk to the Germans.
And some people who were hiding Jews were sent to concentration camps.
But as a whole, it was really amazing. The Danes felt that this shouldn’t
happen to our Danes, to other human beings. It was just agreed upon.
It’s still something that people still grapple with ... I personally think that
Her formal Danish name is Inger Peschcke-Koedt, but she
goes by Inger Koedt.
The ninety-five-year-old Jackson resident eschews all the
trappings of old age, preferring skis and climbing gear over
a walker and Matlock reruns. She often says in her thick
Danish accent, “You know you’re not so young when your
kids are on Medicare.”
In 1951, after surviving the Nazi invasion as a member
of the Danish Resistance, Koedt, her husband, Bobs, and
their three children moved to Palo Alto, Calif. In 1956,
Bobs, an architect, took a summer job helping to develop
Colter Bay. The Koedts then lived at Jackson Lake Lodge
while Bobs worked on the design team, and Inger became involved with the Jackson Hole community, helping to start an
international exchange program for local students (which
still exists). The personable Inger quickly established a network of friends, including Mardy Murie, when the family
lived on the Murie Ranch. Many of the friendships she made
then, she maintains today.
Koedt was one of the first cooks Pat Mahin hired at the
Mangy Moose - back when it was just a spaghetti joint; she
climbed the Grand when she was 62. She served on the
boards of both the Murie Center and the Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust.
After her husband died, Koedt moved to east Jackson,
where she currently lives with two of her adult children,
Bonnie and Peter. Another daughter, Anne, lives in New
York City.
Before she left her mark on Jackson Hole, however, Koedt
had already lived a remarkable life as a participant in the
Danish Resistance. Although she humbly dismisses her
heroic actions as nothing more than “the Danish Way,”
Koedt will be honored by the Jackson Hole Jewish Community Wednesday night for risking her life and her family to
hide Jews in Nazi-occupied Denmark.
it could happen in any country, like it did in Germany. When I was
younger, I was naive enough to think that [the Holocaust] couldn’t happen again. But now I really think it could. And that’s why we have to
prevent it. We have to keep the memories alive.
JHW: Explain your involvement with the Danish Resistance, and how
you, a young Danish housewife with two little girls, came to hide Jews in
your home.
IK: My husband (Bobs Koedt) was in the Resistance movement already.
In 1943, there was a German who told everyone what was going to happen to the Jews, so word spread very fast. We knew this would happen
sooner or later. Fortunately, in Denmark it took a while longer for the
Germans to come, not like in Holland.
We began to understand that these Germans were going to transport
the Danish Jews to Germany. This is when we found out that a lot of our
friends happened to be Jews. We never knew. We didn’t think of people as
Jews, or Catholics or Protestants, or whatever you were. Nobody thought
about that. So we found that quite a lot of our friends were Jews. My
husband looked quite Jewish and people would call him and say, “How

painting has been in her family for generations.
‘come you’re still home?”
We were also fortunate to have Sweden nearby, we could smuggle the
Jews to Sweden. Holland didn’t have anywhere to take them, and France
was just as bad as Holland.
JHW: Can you describe what it was like when you had a Jewish family hiding in your home?
IK: We didn’t have that much room. We had just a small room in the
basement. The reason we had Jews hiding was because they were waiting to
get on the boat to Sweden, which was not far away. Some people had them
for a long time, we had them just one or two nights just waiting until they
could get on a boat. They usually came in the late afternoon, had dinner
with us and then went to sleep. Then, perhaps, the next day they could get
on a boat, and my husband would take them. They were very nervous. My
daughter Bonnie says she remembers how their hands would tremble when
they were sitting at the dinner table eating. They were really nervous.
They often were worried about the trip to Sweden because it was a dangerous trip. It wasn’t very far, but several people drowned and also the Germans would catch them, or the boat could capsize.
JHW: You had German headquarters very near your house. How did you
get Jews in and out?
IK: We always had lots of people coming in and out of the house – I
think that helped. Also my husband worked at home. We had lots of
friends and they always visited. It wasn’t unusual to see people coming in
and out, and Germans realized that. [The Germans] came to our house
twice; and the second time they came was when they overheard someone
asking if they could stay overnight with us.
JHW: You put your two children’s (Bonnie and Anne) lives at risk by harboring Jews. Your home was searched, and you could have been victims of
reprisal killings or sent to concentration camps if discovered. Was it a tough
decision?
IK: No. We just felt that it was so unjust to take the Jews and put
them in concentration camps. Most people didn’t even think of the danger that much.
12 February 10 - 16, 2010
We knew that [the Nazis] were listening to our phone, and one night
they came to our house to search it. I had to move out of the house eventually. My husband moved around to different houses and I moved to our
summerhouse. We knew that they were suspicious, so we moved around.
The summerhouse was only about a quarter of an hour’s walk from a German camp. It was an odd feeling.
JHW: All the people you hid in your house – did they survive?
IK: Yes. As far as I know they all made it. They were not close friends,
but they would come visit me.
JHW: Your son, Peter, says that his two sisters’ high profile involvement in
the Women’s Movement was due to the events they witnessed during ‘43-’45.
How did you and your husband’s role in the Danish Resistance shape your
family?
IK: Well, I think the whole feeling that if someone was in need of help,
we should help. Bonnie remembers most from the war and Anne was two
years younger. We saw German soldiers all the time; so the kids knew
what was going on. I think that in a way especially because the Germans
wanted to take the Danish Jews to concentration camps, my two daughters, especially Bonnie, felt that it shouldn’t happen to people who had
done nothing. It was unjust. I think that has really been with her all her
life.
JHW: In Denmark during the War, the Germans censored the press, but underground, illegal newspapers flourished. You mentioned reading them to get
the “real” news. Do you distrust the mainstream media today? Where do you
get your news?
IK: I get the Washington Post and I listen to the BBC. I also listen to the
news from here. I read the New York Times every Sunday. My daughter
says I’m addicted to newspapers. But I do like newspapers. I hate to think
they might disappear.
JHW: What do you think of the Internet?
IK: I don’t have a computer. My daughter is my secretary.
JHW: The Danish Resistance would have loved the Internet ...
IK: Yes, that’s for sure. I found out many years later that my uncle, part
COURTESY ‘DARKNESS OVER DENMARK’ BY ELLEN LEVINE
COURTESY ‘DARKNESS OVER DENMARK’ BY ELLEN LEVINE
of the Danish Resistance, had been part of the group that made
these special radios – radios that made special connection to England, which was illegal, and they couldn’t be detected. That was
exciting.
JHW: Holocaust denial seems to be on the rise, especially on the Internet. This must be particularly frustrating for you.
IK: That’s why I want to talk to the kids. Not so much frustrating
- but it makes me angry. Because of when I think of how many people have suffered, and the terrible condition the people who went to
concentrations camps returned in, their lives ruined ... and then to
say, “It never happened,” How dare they! It really makes me angry. I
was asked to speak with a group of school children in a little town in
Minnesota. The teacher asked me to talk to the students because the
same thing happened in that little town. There was a woman who
was going around saying “Oh it never happened.” It was all propaganda. And I talked with the kids. I think it’s really important.
JHW: Do you think today’s children are moved by your story, or stories from Holocaust survivors? What are the reactions from young kids?
IK: Well, you know kids. One thing they always ask me is, “Were
you scared? “ And I say, “Yes!”
They always ask me that. It’s an exciting thing for them. I think if
they are small, it’s like an adventure. It’s something they’ve heard
about, then all of sudden here’s this old person that really was there.
JHW: So you came to Jackson Hole in 1956 and you thought you’d
never stay. What do you think of the changes that have happened in
Jackson Hole?
IK: People say, “Oh, it must be terrible for you to see the
changes?” Some people get really angry with me when I say, “Well,
some are for the worse and some are for the better.” And for instance, I think it’s just wonderful that we have such good music, and
the Center for the Arts and good lectures. So to live in a place where
you can get out in the wild in half an hour, then go to a lecture in
the evening, is pretty good. It’s a wonderful community and even
with changes, the fundamentals are still here.
Inger Peschcke-Koedt with, Anne, left, and Bonnie.
JHW: You started climbing at the age of 62, and your first climb was
with your son, Peter, up the Grand. You have done some challenging
climbs for any age. What got you hooked on climbing and hiking?
IK: I love the feeling of being high up in the mountains. I like the
challenge to find a good hand hold or foot hold. It’s a very exciting thing, climbing. I try
to walk every day, up in the canyon, about an hour. I feel very lucky that I live so close to
town and yet I can just go up in the mountains. I haven’t skied yet this year, but I got
new skis last year for my birthday.
JHW: I get a sense that you, like most Danes, are not a real religious person. But is there a
spiritual aspect to your life?
IK: Yeah. If you want to know how the Danes are, get a book at the library called
“Country without God.“ It gives a very good picture about Denmark and Sweden.
JHW: Do you find solace with nature ...
IK: Often the answer we give to the question, “Are you religious?” is that we are not
Athiests, we just don’t belong to any church. I think that’s the common way in Denmark. That is why also we accepted the Jews, because we don’t look at which religion
you belong to.
JHW: I heard that you lead a mostly entirely happy life, and had very little experience with
depression.
IK: That’s right. We were really poor when we came to this country. We were allowed to
take $450 out of Denmark. So we started in Palo Alto with no money at all, below the
poverty line. But I thought we had a very good life. My husband’s family was quite wealthy
and my father’s family certainly wasn’t poor, and so I lived a sheltered life as a young person. But when we were married, we didn’t have much work or money. It really didn’t matter to me. I never feel poor, even if I am under the poverty line. We had a good life.
My husband had more of a tendency to be depressed sometimes. It runs in the family,
and he committed suicide. He was not well. He had seizures, and he had to take pills. He
felt that he just wasn’t himself anymore and so I think for him it was maybe the best, because he was really unhappy. He would have been 80 a month after he committed suicide.
JHW: What do you think of our generation of privileged hipsters?
IK: There is too much emphasis on stuff and things. But I don’t think that is so much
in Jackson Hole.
JHW: How do you think my generation would face another Holocaust in our own country?
Would we do the right thing?
IK: I’m an optimist. I hope so.
JHW: Young people seem to be very attracted to you and your seemingly eternal youth. Give
me one piece of advice for a long, healthy and happy life.
IK: Stay interested in life. I still find life fascinating. Maybe that’s why I read the newspapers more than my daughter thinks I should. (Laugh.) I think that life is pretty interesting and humans are too. I can’t imagine how it would be not to be interested in things. I

All the
pretty horses
With just a few strong brushstrokes and a single color, September Vhay creates vibrant images of
wild horses.
In her second installment of her
series, All the Red Horses, Vhay extends her exploration of the animal as a representation of power,
‘Red Horse Sixteen’ by September Vhay
strength and grace. Influenced by
the Japanese brush painting technique, sumi-e, Vhay hopes her simple lines will
capture the pure essence of the animal.
“The shapes are also an insight into how I see things,” Vhay said. “These are the
first lines and shapes I see before I begin any work.”
Although Vhay does depart from the color red in two paintings in this series –
using a neutral gray for comparison’s sake—the majority of the paintings are done
exclusively in a fiery watercolor or oil.
The strong red, associated with passion, fame, and assertiveness, combined with
the subject matter gives the series what Vhay calls “a double dose of empowerment.”
Vhay plans to continue this series in new installments for as long as the subject interests and inspires her.

COURTESY JH HISTORICAL
Two of the most experienced river runners in Jackson Hole, John Simms and
Tom Montgomery, will team
up to tell some true stories
of fishing and the Snake
River as the third installment of The Jackson Hole
Historical Society and MuTom Montgomery
seum’s lecture series Jackson Hole Stories: Voices of the Valley. With almost eight
decades of experience between the two of them, these
men have seen the tides ebb and flow in and around the
Snake River.
In 1965, his first year in Jackson, John Simms, an outdoor enthusiast with an entrepreneurial flare, began his
own raft float trip and fly fishing guide business.
He later started Wildwater Float Trips, which became
Simms and Sand Wildwater. Simms and his wife designed
a line of fly-fishing products, which eventually became
SIMMS division of Life-Link.
Simms took Tom Montgomery under his wing as a
young angler and Montgomery went on to become a
world-class guide in places as faraway as New Zealand
and Chile. He has chronicled the fishing experience photographically in several outdoor magazines. Last year,
Montgomery completed his 32nd year of guiding for Jack
Dennis on the Snake River.
“River & Fishing Stories” take place 7 to 8:30 p.m.,
Thursday. Ordway Auditorium, Teton County Library.
Free. 733-9605.
Individual donors around the world have already
raised more than $644 million dollars in relief for Haiti
according to The Chronicle of Philanthropy.
Ashley Watson wants to make sure the Jackson Hole
community makes that number even bigger. To help,
all you have to do is show up to her party, drink beer,
and dance to the music of beloved local bands like
Mandatory Air and Chanman Roots Band.
All proceeds of her event will go to Haiti Renewal.
Local businessman, Foster Friess founded Haiti Renewal under his philanthropic organization Friess
Family Foundation. Friess promised to match all donations through Haiti Renewal up to $2 million, so every
dollar spent at the event will have double the impact.
Watson, president and founder of Mountains of
Groceries by trade, has never planned a benefit party
before but said that something about the Haitian
earthquake “struck a chord” with her.
“I was trying to picture a disaster on that scale here,”
she said “ And I just couldn’t imagine it. I wanted to do
something bigger than just sending money from myself.”
Hole Hearts for Haiti Benefit Party takes place 8 p.m.
to 2 a.m., Friday , (Silent Auction from 8 to 9 p.m.) Pink
Garter Theatre. $10+ donation. 21 and over. [email protected].

Hippie and country doesn’t sound much better than The Gourds.
Basic like The Gourds
By Aaron Davis
It’s not the ideal way to discover a band, but like many
other downloading college students, I found out about The
Gourds from their infamous
bluegrass rendition of Snoop
Dogg’s “Gin and Juice” in the
late ‘90s. The track was even
mislabeled as being performed
by Phish, but I knew better.
Their curious mash of grass and
rap was the first of its kind to
hit mainstream, and the irony
paid off.
Years have passed, and getting to know them through their
nine-album discography is well
worth it. It’s predominantly an
unwholesome collection of
clever hippie-country that will
make you want to drink, dance,
sing-a-long and ponder.
Songwriters Kevin
“Shinyribs” Russell and Jimmy
Smith have built The Gourds
repertoire into an American
roots music catalog of their
own. Their creative vices have
been widespread, from using
less familiar instruments like
ukulele and dulcimer, to simply
mowing the grass.
“Its like when Picasso said it
took 60 years to draw like a sixyear old,” began Russell.
Their curious mash
of grass and rap
was the first of its kind
to hit mainstream.
“Dumbing yourself down gives
your ego less control, and you
tend to come up with something more genuine and honest. The ukulele is really basic
like that.”
The colorful genres of “kaleidoscopic-country” and “honky
tonk badonkadonk” resemble
Stop by
The Liquor Store
for the COLDEST
BEER in town
the proud weirdness of their
hometown of Austin. The redneck-hippie fusion that developed there in the 60s and 70s
aided in the gravitation of more
oddballs and misfits per capita
than your run-of-the-mill capitol city, college town. The
Gourds don’t stick out at all
under these circumstances.
More like, thrive.
“Austin leans toward the subversive type of people,” Russell
said, “so having conservative
lawmakers developing legislation right here in town to bash
Austin puts locals in a defensive, almost arrogant stance.”
The five members of The
Gourds play a lot of instruments—guitars, mandolin, bass,
accordion, keys, drums, fiddle,
lap steel, banjo and four of
them sing. So making a setlist is
much like chess, and each night
presents a different game.
“Making the setlist is the
hardest part of what I do,” Rus-
sell admits. “I’m envious of
bands like Old Crow or Old 97s
that play the same set every
night. I like shows to have a flow
and build energy, but we try to
use the list as a map and not
worry about it too much.”
The Gourds’ latest studio effort, “Haymaker!” (Yep
Roc/2009), paints lyrical pictures influenced by Texas characters, surrealist art, and
literature. The vibe of the
recording feels much a like a
live show, with plenty of energy
to back up the exclamation
point in the album’s title.
There aren’t many bands
around that have withstood the
test of time, and are still producing great work. The Gourds
are one of them
The Gourds perform at 9:30
p.m. on Feb. 16 and 17 at the
Mangy Moose in Teton Village.

SPOON
YEASAYER
BROKEN BELLS
★★★★★
★★★★★
Spoon is a band that seems to fade in
and out of the indie rock soup bowl, and
now with their seventh (!!!) album, they are
reverting back to where they’re best
suited. Old Spoon is good Spoon, and
after a very mainstream turn in 2007’s Ga
Ga Ga Ga Ga, the band is returning to its
grittier, chorus-less roots.
The melodies are sparse, but the tracks
are solid, though some tend to end as
abruptly as they started. With deep bass
and piano grooves and the distinctive
growling vocals of Britt Daniel, songs like
“Written in Reverse” are a poignant reminder of how much we needed a new
Spoon album. “Is Love Forever” harkens
back to the Gimme Fiction days, which is
comforting.
Spoon has evolved since their ‘90’s
emergence, and with this trance-inducing
album they’ve brought some welcome additions to their repertoire. Transference
certainly has a place among the best 2010
albums released so far.
– Andrew Munz
If you only listened to “The Children,” you
will get the impression that Yeasayer’s new
album is an electro-industrial heavyweight,
which isn’t to say that Odd Blood would be
bad. Only, you’d get an entirely wrong picture
of the album as a whole. A better picture
would be of a post-millennial battlefield, a
city crumbling, its inhabitants crawling out of
their bunkers to look at the sun for the first
time to tribal drums. Perhaps a child laughs.
Humanity has a future – albeit an imperfect
one in which folks need to be reminded,
“Stick up for yourself, son” but young romantics can still sing “You’re stuck in my mind.”
Perhaps “The Children” is a nod to the
band’s origins in art house, prog-rock, the following tracks dropping the art, but certainly
donning the prog. Sappy, it’s not, and not
similar in tone, but certainly in mood, to
Tears for Fears, perhaps, with enough contemporary electro-synth to prevent it from
being slotted as another retro-80s recording.
And you can download it for $4 on Amazon.com.
– Matthew Irwin
★★★★★
Broken Bells has made some very good
music in the band’s first go-round. The
group is a collaboration between Brian
“Danger Mouse” Burton, of Gnarls Barkley
fame, and musician James Mercer, the
voice of the Shins.
The duo’s debut album, Broken Bells,
officially arrives March 9, but, what with
how these things are today, you can listen
to all of it online now.
The first single, “The High Road,” is a
catchy but mellow tune with all the trappings of Burton’s slick production skills –
familiar acoustic instruments mixing with
less unidentifiable quirky ones mixing
with robotic bleeps – and Mercer’s soulful,
mellifluous vocals. The rest of the album
follows this satisfying suit.
If you liked the Shins, even if you wouldn’t admit it at the time, you would probably enjoy Broken Bells. But the heavy
influence of Burton, a producer with
heaps of street cred, makes this an album
that will have broad appeal

Lyrics Born
Independent hip-hop artist
and record label founder, Lyrics
Born, has made huge waves
since his 2003 debut, Later
That Day (Quantum). The
Berkeley-based thirty-eight
year old has toured relentlessly
in North and South America,
Australia, Europe and his birthplace, Japan. Combine these
road miles with a huge presence on YouTube and the top
spot for iTunes download sales
in the hip-hop category a few
times, and you have a prime
example of a do-it-yourself
success story.
His minimalist grooves and
less-bling-more-honesty approach to lyricism have earned
endorsements from Diet Coke,
Motorola, Nokia, Vans and beyond. He generally tours with
a four-piece band behind
him. Catch Lyrics Born at 10
p.m., Valentine’s Day at the

18 February 10 - 16, 2010
By Matthew Irwin
Musicians have stories about
why they play the instruments
they play. When violinist Judith
Cox said this over the phone on
Tuesday, she was referring to the
other classical musicians in her
string quartet.
Cox, for instance, picked up
the violin at 3 years old because
she was the youngest of five and
the rest already had their quartet. She wanted attention. She
wanted to fit in. She wanted to
form a family quintet. So she
tried the violin, “fell in love” and
has been playing it ever since.
Hers is a personal story,
though universal in the excitement of shared experiences, the
joy at discovering music, and
even in the singularity of the
story itself – it belongs to Cox in
a way no one else can understand, but they can recognize it
originated in the opportunity to
move toward her inclinations.

of how initial fascinations with
an instrument or a composer led
to lifelong careers in classical
music. They will also perform.
The pieces they will play at
Walk Hall will also speak to the
possibilities of music when exposed to people at a young age.
The opening composition is
String Quartet No. 2 in A minor,
Op. 13 by Felix Mendelssohn.
Mendelssohn wrote the piece
when he was 18. He was greatly
influenced by Wolfgang
Amadeus Beethoven, Cox said, in
particular a number of quartets
Beethoven wrote late in his life
that no one but Mendelssohn
seemed to understand.
This string quartet is inspired
by, though not built directly
upon, those late quartets. They
are poems set to music, the
words stricken so that mood and
movement achieve the similar
emotional content.

piece. Claude Debussy composed it when he was “relatively”
young, in his early 30s, Cox said,
but what’s remarkable about it is
it comes from a period when Debussy seemed to really find the
work he was meant for.
After studying in Rome and in
Russia, he went to Bayreuth, Germany to study Richard Wagner in
a concert hall built just for Wagner’s operas.
Until then, Debussy didn’t
seem to have any clear influences. Debussy continues to be
thought of as “very French, very
impressionistic,” Cox said, but
his openings are very bold and
German.
The opening to this string
quartet composition, she said,
represents one of the strongest
statements in Debussy’s work.
The String Quartet will perform, 7:30 p.m., Friday, at Walk
Festival Hall. $10; free for students. Gtmf.org. 733-1128.

Art
By Aaron Wallis
Some of our readers may be
offended by nudity – you can
stop reading right now, if so, and
go catch up on the Little House
on the Prairie DVD’s.
Those of you who appreciate
artistic nudity, however, are in
luck, because two art shows
dealing with the human form are
hanging in Jackson this week.
The Nekkid exhibition opened
on Friday night at the Art Association of Jackson Hole. Ciao
Gallery’s 3rd annual Naturally
Nude exhibition opens with a reception, 6 to 9 p.m., Saturday.
What’s the difference between
being naked and nude? My
freshman art history professor
George Tussing described naked
as having biblical origins and
connotations of sin. Only after
eating the apple did Adam and
Even notice their sinful nakedness and try to cover it. Their
offspring Cain & Company went
on to populate the earth through
incest. The origin of nudity is
more of a classical Greek concept of beauty and modesty. The
Greeks viewed the human body
as worthy of respect, and they
thought it should be appreci-
ated, especially when it came to
12-year-old boys.
So how does one define nudity and nakedness in a modern
context? Lady Ga Ga was recently photographed in the
nude with Kanye West by noted
photographer Dave LaChapelle.
Comparatively, Paris Hilton and
Kim Kardashian are most certainly naked in their notorious
sex tapes.
Most of the work in the Art
Associations Nekkid exhibition
is what I would call nude – classically draped figures in the
context of the nude model,
tasteful and ambiguous. Only a
few of the pieces could be
called naked or explicit, including an exquisite ceramic vagina
by Valerie Seaberg. I once saw a
series of chicken skin vulvas
and I have to say I prefer the ceramic kind.
Naturally Nude at Ciao gallery
has not yet opened. But as a respected member of the local
media, I was privy to a press release and got a sneak peak at the
work. The work I saw would definitely be filled in the “nude”
category. Tasteful and ambiguous, many of the models where
sleeping, floating or reclining in

a dreamlike state.
I have always preferred
nakedness to nudity, probably
because I grew up in an extremely conservative part of the
South. Working as an assistant
manager at a Barnes & Noble
store, I dealt with complaints by
outraged Southern Baptists,
shocked by the content of books
in the art, gay and lesbian and
graphic novel sections.
Sensing an air of repression
and reacting against it, I decided
to move our adult magazines to
a more prominent location in
the store. Sales of Playboy and
Penthouse, as well as gay magazines, tripled in one quarter. Of

course, I probably pushed things
a bit too far by displaying the
collected works of Robert Mapplethorpe in an endcap on the
main aisle. Several of the books
where vandalized before being
removed by corporate. (Some
people are never going to consider photos of large uncircumcised black penises or bull whips
inserted into anuses as art.)
Anyway, I don’t think any of
the work at Nekkid or Naturally
Nude will inspire that kind of
outrage. Both shows are a tasteful survey of nudity in an artistic
context. And if I had children, I
would take them to the

The Ignight Roll
Keeping hip on a budget
It’s hard to be expected to
write something about food, dear
reader, when you’re arrested by a
cold, as I have been. But just as
I’d begun to accept that I would
have to either A.) write some
missive about what it meant for
the Saints to win the Super Bowl,
or B.) convince my editor to
rerun a Crumbs from yesteryear,
the cold broke and my sense of
taste mostly returned.
I was hungry.
But before we go any further,
let me tell you about what it
meant for the New Orleans
Saints to win the Super Bowl. Aw
shucks, I wouldn’t really do that
to you. I’m not even entirely sure
what it all means. But somebody
let me know if it means some
new food inspired by (or shipped
from) New Orleans arrives in
time for Mardi Gras.
These days, a lot of the town is
jazzed about Ignight, the new
bistro inside the old Chef’s Table.
Ignight is the latest venture of Joe
Rice, the restaurant owner who
has done very well with Merry
Piglets and Sidewinders. But
where those two served everyman
food in a family-friendly atmosphere, Ignight veers into more sophisticated urban territory that
could almost be called, well, chic.
The bar/restaurant only permits
people over 21, removing any uncertainty about whether to bring
the whole family.
A major redesign of the interior
gives Ignight a look and feel that
is unique in the valley. Banquettes
arch attractively to the ceiling,
with tables separated by seafoam
green fabric that suggests an air of
privacy rather than actually
blocking sight and sound. The bar
The Ignight menu
features an eclectic
assortment of starters,
tapas, sandwiches
and sushi.
top, which dominates the center
of the dining room, is an illuminated neon yellow surface. The
decor is hip but safe. It doesn’t
challenge you or progress any dialogue about how to create edgy
interiors for small towns. Nevertheless, on first impression, the
look struck me as a welcome
change of pace for Jackson Hole.
The Ignight menu features an
eclectic assortment of starters,
tapas, sandwiches and sushi. But
there’s one thing about Ignight
that doesn’t feel at all metropolitan: the price. With most items
below a $15 price point, and
many of them hovering around
$10, it’s probably the most affordable restaurant with a glowing bar in the valley.
Two of us ordered smorgasbord sampler of flank steak flat
bread, seafood ceviche, a specialty sushi roll and braised ribs.

• Support Local Food Systems
The flat bread was great, with a
fine thin crust that made it similar
to gourmet wood over pizza.
We enjoyed the ceviche, although
the name was a bit of a misnomer. The shrimp and tuna had
been cooked with heat (a server
confirmed this), although you
could taste some of the flavors of
ceviche, or fish that has been delicately cured by the acid in citrus
juice. More like pseudo ceviche,
or ceviche-for-people-whoaren’t-sure-if-they-like-actual-ceviche. But, as I said, it tasted fine.
The ribs were great – tender
and flavorful, if served on the
side of room temperature. And
the tasty Ignight roll, with tuna,
soft shell crab and some kind of
ailoli, could’ve had some asparagus, which would explain the
funny smell my pee had later.
Ignight offers a specialty cocktail menu created by a hip mixologist brought in from San Diego,
although I didn’t order anything
from it on this first visit. A door
beside the bar opens into the adjacent package store Rice owns,
where guests can select a bottle
of wine to go with dinner without
a corkage fee, adding another
opportunity for value.
I expect a lot of people in this
community are ready to embrace
Ignight for bringing something
fresh and economical to Jackson

Eric Whitehouse and Sara Stephan enjoy a night-ski session.
Sliding Scale l Fully Confidenal l In Town Locaon
Skiing under stars (and lights)
The lower lot at Snow King
Resort was half-full as we drove
up in the fading light of day.
The blue sky was on its last legs,
but at Snow King that doesn’t
mean the ski day is over. It goes
on, into the dark hours of the
night (OK, until 7 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday).
The one thing about skiing
Snow King is, it is cold. And it is
really cold after dark. My two
friends and I prepared by picking boards with sharp edges,
and while that would prove only
semi-successful, we knew we
would at least be warm. Eric
sported a huge Everest-ready
puffy; I had on primaloft and
wool layers under my softshell
and Sarah was decked in down,
under a hardshell.
The Cougar lift is open for
night skiing, and only certain
runs on the lower half of the
mountain are lighted, including
the terrain park at the base and
a smaller one up high.
We struck out to explore all
skiable nighttime terrain, from
the brightly lit groomers to anything else the lights even
slightly penetrated, which resulted in some less than fluid
runs.
Snow King has awesome
groomers, and speeding down
its steep, rolling runs while
town glitters below is a pretty
cool view. A key part of nightskiing is to take a moment and
check out the sights: lighted
lines of cars snake in and out of
town, the town sparkles, and
landmark neon signs like the
Virginian and the Cowboy Bar
give perspective.
You can do a lot of laps in a
night ski session. To switch it
up, the soft bumps found under
the chairlift, half-shaded from
the lights are a pretty good exercise for your reflexes, and hey, a
pretty good time too.
With stripes of light penetrating through, the trees are even
more ridiculous fun and have
some pretty interesting visual
qualities. After multiple speedy
laps on the groomers, we went
Sorry officer,
on a hunt for a few fresh turns
in said trees.
When our little trio stopped
and looked at itself, it was
something like this: I was
standing on a small fallen log
on my skis, surrounded by
stumps, Eric was peering
around trying to find an unobstructed straight-line out, and
Sarah was laughing so hard she
couldn’t really see anything at
all, which wasn’t that safe either. But we extricated ourselves, and came back on the
next run, too.
A few more laps of flopping
about and laughing in the terrain park, where we tried to
teach Sarah how to get air and
Eric checked things out on skis
after over a decade on a snowboard, and we were ready to declare it the best night ski
session ever. And then, we
were thwarted by an orange
“closed” sign on the chairlift, a
buzz kill alleviated only by a
jaunt across the street to 43
North, for some cheap PBRs
and reliving our adventure. JHW

ROB BREZSNEY’S
F R E E W I L L A S T R O LO GY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Hate leaves ugly
scars,” wrote author Mignon McLaughlin, but
“love leaves beautiful ones.” If I’m reading the astrological omens correctly, Aries, you’re scheduled
to receive at least one of the beautiful kind of
scars in the coming months — maybe even two
or three. In fact, I think they’ll be such lovely booboos that they will markedly add to your overall
attractiveness. Rarely if ever have you been privileged to hurt as good as you will in 2010 —
thanks to the benevolent jolts of love. Happy
Valentine Daze!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In my view,
2010 is the year you should expand your world.
That could mean enlarging your circle of allies or
building a bigger web of connections. It might
mean broadening your appeal or widening your
frame of reference or opening your mind to possibilities you’ve been closed to. It may even involve
extending your territory or increasing the range of
your travels. However you choose to expand, Taurus, I urge you to put love at the heart of your efforts. Love should be the fuel that motivates you
and the reference point that ensures you’re always making smart moves. For inspiration, memorize this line by poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning:
“I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
my soul can reach.” In your case, Taurus, “thee”
should mean the whole world.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Of all the signs of
the zodiac, you Geminis are most likely to thrive if
you experiment with new approaches to kissing in
the coming weeks. To whip up your fervor, read
incendiary texts like William Cane’s The Art of
Kissing. Conspire with an imaginative partner to
conjure up a new kissing game or even a sacred
kissing ritual. And come up with your own interpretations of the following kiss techniques: the
throbbing kiss, the sip kiss, the butterfly kiss, the
tiger kiss, the whispering kiss. Happy Valentine
Daze!
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Happy Valentine
Daze, Cancerian! After meditating about what ad-
vice would be most valuable for your love life in
the coming months, I decided on this challenge
from poet William Butler Yeats: “True love is a discipline in which each divines the secret self of the
other and refuses to believe in the mere daily
self.” In other words, create in your imagination a
detailed picture of your loved ones at their best.
Each day, make it a point to feel joy and gratitude
for their most excellent beauty and power — as
well as the beauty and power that are still ripening and will one day appear in full bloom.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A friend of mine has
woven her life together with a Leo who doesn’t
fully appreciate the ways she expresses her adoration. She asked me to use my bully pulpit as a
horoscope writer to convey a message to her
lover, and I agreed, because I think it’s excellent
advice for all of the Leo tribe this Valentine season. Here’s what she said: “Just because somebody doesn’t always love you the way you wish
they would, doesn’t mean they don’t love you the
best they can and with all they have.” Are you
willing to consider the possibility that maybe you
should take that plea to heart, Leo? I hope so, because then you’ll be able to get some of the good
loving you’ve closed yourself off from.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Happy Valentine
Daze, Virgo! I meditated on what message might
best energize your love life, and what I came up
with is a declaration by author Mignon McLaughlin: “Love unlocks doors and opens windows that
weren’t even there before.” In other words, the
love you should be most interested in during the
coming months is the kind that opens your eyes
to sights that were previously invisible and that
creates new possibilities you’ve barely imagined.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Happy Valentine
Daze, Libra! My astrological hunch is that you’d
benefit from the specific teaching that would
come from exploring a three-way relationship. But
wait. Don’t jump to conclusions. Here’s the form I
think it should take: Fantasize that the merger of
you and your lover or ally has created a third
thing that hovers near you, protecting and guiding the two of you. Call this third thing an angel.
Or call it the soul of your connection or the inspirational force of your relationship. Or call it the
special work the two of you can accomplish together. And let this magical presence be the third
point of your love triangle.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Happy Valentine Daze, Scorpio! After meditating on what advice would best serve your love life, I decided to
offer you the words of psychologist Carl Jung:
“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays
with the objects it loves.” As I see it, my dear, acting on Jung’s wisdom will help you carry out your
primary task in the coming months, which is to
bring novel experiences and fresh perspectives to
your most engaging relationship. The best way to
accomplish that is not with non-stop serious talk
and intense analysis, but with a generous dose of
playful improvisation and experimental fun.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To prepare your Valentine horoscope, I did a lengthy
meditation on your love life. I wish I could offer
you a 20-page treatise on my conclusions, but
there’s not enough room. So instead I’ll give
you the single most important piece of advice I
came up with: The coming week will be an excellent time for you to survey the history of your
love life, starting with the first moment you ever
fell in love. I mean you should actually stream
the memories across your mind’s eye as if you
were watching a movie. Feel all the feelings
roused by each scene, but also try to maintain
some objectivity about it all. Watch for recurring
themes. Be especially alert for unexpected insights that emerge about the past. And through
it all, be wildly compassionate toward yourself
and your co-stars.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “If I love
you, what business is it of yours?” wrote Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe. Now I’m offering his words

POLLS CLOSE FEB. 17
FEBRUARY 10-16, 2010
for you to use as your mantra in the coming
months. Your main job, as I see it, is simply to be
a lover of pretty much everything — to generate,
cultivate, and express love in abundance — and
not to worry about whether your love is reciprocated or how it’s regarded. It’s a tall order, I know
— one of the most difficult assignments I’ve ever
suggested. And yet I think you have the soul
power and the crafty intelligence necessary to accomplish it. Happy Valentine Daze, Capricorn!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Happy Valentine Daze, Aquarius! In my search for the counsel
that would be of greatest help to your love life in
the coming months, I decided on this observation
by psychologist Albert Ellis: “The art of love is
largely the art of persistence.” I hope you take
that in the spirit in which I’m offering it. It’s not
meant to suggest that you will be deprived of
love’s burning, churning pleasures; I just want to
make sure you know that your best bet for experiencing burning, churning pleasures is to be
dogged and devoted and disciplined in your cultivation of burning, churning pleasures.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 2010, you will
have more cosmic assistance than you’ve had in a
long time whenever you seek to increase your experience of pleasure. Do you want to get more
sensual joy out of eating and drinking and dancing and listening to music? This is your year. Do
you want to heighten your perceptiveness and
find more beauty in the world and cultivate new
ways to stimulate positive feelings and liberating
emotions? This is your year. Do you want to intensify your orgasms and have more of them and
learn how to use them to enhance your spiritual
power? This is your year. And the coming weeks
will be one of the best times in 2010 to move
from charging up your pleasure to supercharging
it. Happy Valentine Daze, Pisces!
