Early November can be a trying time in Jackson, with the anticipation of winter and another ski season just around the corner, and the depressing realization that summer, Indian Summer, or anything resembling the warmer months of the year is now behind us. It takes some fortitude to stay here and watch it rain, or snow, or blow, or all of the above. Or, be just downright chilly. I suppose that is why some people take off for warmer climes this time of year. # 6 ! ! The Cool: There isn’t really anything that “cool” about it being 15 degrees below zero this time of year. To me, that is just downright “cold”, and the ultimate in weather rudeness, as it is just too early for that to be happening. Nonetheless, that is the record low temperature in Jackson this week, and it occurred on November 10, 1986. That was an especially cold and damp November, making this November feel pretty nice, so far.

That was the warmest of a string of days with highs in the 60’s, which lasted into the middle of that November. The last ten days of that November had highs only in the 30’s and 40’s, which helped average the high temperatures out a little bit. Looks like our high temperatures this week will stay above average, but nowhere near record breaking. Jim has been forecasting the weather here for more than 20 years.

Sponsored by Blue Collar Restaurant Group l www.planetjh.com Props&Disses Jake Nichols Tax shelter is nothing to brag about The nonpartisan Tax Foundation says Wyoming’s business tax climate is the best in the nation. Politicians eager to take credit and tourism industry heavies “viralizing” the acclaim heralded the news uniformly. Pump the brakes. It’s nothing to be proud of. Granted, Wyoming is a better place because the state does not burden its people or corporations with a state income tax, nor does it make it agonizingly difficult to conduct commerce in the Cowboy State. But the notion that this favorable climate will attract business and spur the economy is shortsighted. Some businesses will and have made the move to headquarter in Wyoming. But mostly what the cheap cost of doing business in this state does is attract shell companies, tax dodgers and other leeches looking to beat the system. We are the Cayman Islands of America. According to a special investigation conducted by Reuters in 2011, more than 2,000 companies are registered in Cheyenne, Wyoming. If that doesn’t seem like a lot, hang on. Those 2,000plus corporations are all headquartered in the same building — a nondescript 1,700-square-foot brick house at 2710 Thomes Avenue. The Chinese are there, steel magnates, oil giants, CPA firms, you name it. Thanks to Wyoming Corporate Services, a business-incorporation firm that specializes in establishing “shell” companies, these heads of industry are able to take legal advantage of Wyoming’s conducive corporate climate to create paper entities and hide assets. Is this the Wyoming we are patting on the back? Are we boosting the economy or inviting ghosts offering little to no contribution to this great state? ALWAYS GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT ALWAYS FRANK + + + + + VOTE DON FRANK JACKSON TOWN COUNCIL P A I D F O R B Y D O N F R A N K Cool school “I do this work a lot. You don’t see data like this,” were the words of evaluator Drew Moore after combing through the school district’s dossier in mid-October. Evaluators recommended Teton County School District No. 1 for another five years of national accreditation with AdvancED. The 10-member AdvancED team interviewed hundreds of students, instructors and administrators. In the end, TCSD excelled nearly across the board when compared to the rest of the organization’s 32,000 institutions. The one category where scores were below par was “purpose, direction, governance, leadership capacity and stakeholder feedback” — an area already targeted and addressed by the board of trustees with ongoing district office reorganization. “I am extremely pleased that the high quality of instruction that exists throughout the district was affirmed by this accreditation review,” superintendent Pam Shea said. The good news comes on the heels of a 2013 National Blue Ribbon Award for the high school given by the U.S. Secretary of Education and a recent No. 1 statewide ranking by U.S. News and World Report. “I think this is another indicator, along with the Blue Ribbon and the U.S. News and World Report ranking, that the teaching and learning here are exceptional,” Shea said. But don’t expect district leaders to rest on their laurels. “We embrace a continuous improvement process,” Shea said. “There is always something we can look at and understand more deeply, and improve upon.” Yellowstone Why-Fi? No! No! A thousand times, No! Yellowstone National Park officials are toying with the idea of wiring the nation’s first national park into the 21st century, and it’s a bad idea. Discussions with CenturyLink about installing a $34 million fiberoptic line through Grand Teton National Park and into Yellowstone would improve smartphone coverage and Wi-Fi speeds at the cost of contributing to the world’s addiction to high-speed escapism. Why can’t Yellowstone remain the pristine getaway it was intended to be in 1872? The Yellowstone Act of 1872, signed by President Grant, designated the region as a public “pleasuring-ground,” preserved “from injury or spoilation, of all timber, mineral deposits, natural curiosities, or wonders within.” Fiber-optics is a “spoilation.” It may be unpopular now, but Yellowstone will one day be more revered for shunning technology rather than embracing it. First World locales free from Netflix, Twitter and other instant cyber gratification are increasingly hard to find. YNP officials should be encouraging visitors to turn off and tune out. For a department perpetually crying poverty, the $34 million would be better spent patching roads and fixing sewer lines. Get your hands dirty. Leave the gizmos in the van. Insist on at least one last sanctuary where the quiet won’t be shattered by a Bruno Mars ringtone and wildlife viewing will be its own Wikipedia entry. 2 FOR 1 ENTREES Now offering (mention this ad • limit one entree per customer • dine in only) 25% OFF YOUR ENTIRE CHECK Best Restaurant Just the ALL DRINKS $25 Best GIFT CARD French Fries Open Nightly 5:30pm Located at 45 S.

No, technicians can’t tell what you’re dreaming about, but they can diagnose and remedy most sleep maladies like apnea, restless leg syndrome or upper airway resistance. I’ve never had trouble sleeping. Planes, trains, Greyhounds, church pews, laundromats, easy chairs, hardwood floors, even an MRI tube have all provided adequate opportunity for 40 winks. Yet sleep study professionals would probably say I have a problem. Nodding off during the day is as worrisome as the wide-eyed midnight insomniac cursing that waiter for mixing up the decaf order at dinner. We all spend a third of our lives doing it. Shouldn’t we be good at it by now? But the struggle to fall asleep or the 0-dark-thirty volley with the snooze button has afflicted everyone at one time or another. Experts say, in part, that we’re doing it all wrong — making blockheaded mistakes and messing with a fine-tuned design called circadian rhythm. “Obviously, you want to limit your caffeine toward the end of the day. Chocolate, too,” said Roger Olin. He’s the sleep technologist at St. John’s Sleep Disorder Center. “A big meal before bedtime is definitely not recommended, either.” Retired sleep technologist Joe Burke, who ran the center for 18 years, pointed out some other common 8 November 5 - 11, 2014 l www.planetjh.com mistakes we make. “The hard and fast rule in the sleep medicine business is the bedroom is for three things: sleep, changing clothes and having sex,” he said. “If you are not doing one of those things, get out of the bedroom.” “Sleep, those little slices of death; how I loathe them.” Edgar Allen Poe Ready for the numbers? At least 40 million Americans each year suffer from chronic, long-term sleeping maladies ranging across a spectrum of 70-plus identified disorders. Another 20 million experience occasional problems. An estimated $16 billion is billed in related medical costs, annually. And you don’t have to be a slumbersome train conductor or a dozy night watchman to experience the dark side of drowsy. Sleepy motorists cause 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Lost productivity is immeasurable. The snooze button was invented for our sleep-deprived, caffeine-driven society. Is it any wonder the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called insufficient sleep a public health epidemic earlier this year? “There are a lot of people in the medical field that never had any training regarding sleeping curriculum — and sleep is a third of our life — that are now recognizing all these comorbidities with people not getting enough sleep. Sleep as it relates to other diseases — high blood pressure, Type II diabetes, obesity — you name it,” Burke said. Olin added, “If you are sleep-deprived, expect to see things like irritability, anxiety, headaches, weight gain, fatigue, obviously, and depression might be a factor. If it takes you a while to get up in the morning and you need four or five cups, you are probably exhibiting some signs you are not getting enough sleep.” “The only time I have problems is when I sleep.” Tupac Shakur From legendary high-achievers like da Vinci, Einstein and Tesla to modern-day notables like Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, TV personality Kelly Ripa and President Barack Obama, short-sleepers claim they need only four to six hours of sleep a night. Some, much less than that. Really? How much sleep do we really need? “Most of these [short-sleepers] are loading up at the Starbucks counter,” Burke said with skepticism. “The average adult needs about 7-and-a-half to about 8 hours of sleep. There are always some outliers but their numbers are relatively small.” One out of every 200 people are bona fide shortsleepers according to research conducted by the University of Utah School of Medicine published in the journal SLEEP last August. They defy conventional wisdom and may hold insight into fighting obesity, ADD and bipolar disorder. And don’t try training yourself to be one. You either are or you aren’t. It’s in the genes. Olin said young children need more like 10 to 12 hours. Adolescents do better on about 9 hours of sack time. “The body needs six to eight hours of sleep to repair, restore and rejuvenate itself. There could be a rare individual that can get by on less but eventually down the road it will catch up with them,” he said. And what about catching up? Scores of adults and teenagers alike look forward to sleeping in late on Saturday and Sunday to compensate for a week’s worth of missed curfews. It’s called sleep debt and science lab wisdom is you can never recover those lost hours of sleep. You’ll just make yourself more tired trying, according to Olin. “When I used to go to the schools and talk to the kids about sleep, I’d ask them a loaded question I knew the answer to: ‘How much do you sleep during the week?’ ” Burke recalled. “Now, these kids do have a little bit of a biological later lights out, probably closer to 11 o’clock. It’s amazing, but a lot of them are up until 12 o’clock, sometimes 1 or 2 o’clock. With texting and all these other technology gadgets they’ve got in their room that can keep them up, sometimes they’ve only gotten 4 to maybe 6 hours of sleep when they need about 9-and-a-half at that adolescent age. “Then the second part of that loaded question would be, ‘So how much do you sleep on weekends?’ They would say, ‘Oh man, I sleep until the afternoon sometimes.’ Then they would start asking me questions. ‘Can you sleep too much?’ they’d ask. They would sleep for 12 or 14 or 16 hours and say they didn’t feel too good when they got up. Well, I told them, I want you to think about something. If you are down for 16 hours, your blood sugar is going to drop and you are going to be dehydrated. You’ve shocked your body in another sort of a way. You pay the piper sooner or later. There is a major flaw with the notion you can catch up on that sleep debt if you are, say, 16 hours short by the weekend and you think you can sleep that off. That’s not the way that works.” Studies of exhausted patients looking to catch up on lost sleep have shown that so-called rebound sleep can be very compressed. Restorative slow-wave sleep time is nearly doubled in patients who are running on fumes. “They will not get the total debt payment but the sleep they get is really compressed,” Burke said. “They get a lot of juice for the squeeze.” “I slept like a baby. I woke up every two hours crying.” Bob Dole Most are familiar with the Rapid Eye Movement stage of sleep called REM. It’s the final stage of a sleep cycle that encompasses four total stages. Every slumberer progresses through the first cycle in about 90 minutes, with each additional cycle lasting a bit longer than the previous one. Most sleepers will get through four cycles in a good eight-hour session. Aware of it or not, you will awake after each cycle ends, though maybe only enough to turn over. It’s called sleep architecture, Olin explained. Stage I is a gateway to sleep. You’ll catch yourself, maybe, nodding off in this stage. Stage II is the beginning of slow-wave sleep, when the body begins making necessary repairs to cells. Spend 15 minutes or more counting sheep and you might as well get up. “You need to just get up and leave the room when that happens. Stop trying to focus on falling asleep. Do something that’s going to make you tired.” — Roger Olin “There is very little vigilance in Stage III sleep. It’s hard to arouse somebody out of that,” Burke said. “If you think of little kids who fall asleep in the car and you bring them into the house and accidentally bang their head on the doorjamb; they hardly wake up. They are in a drunken stupor in an attempt to wake up.” Ending that hour-and-a-half cycle of sleep is the REM stage. “Some people think that is a very deep sleep but it’s not. It’s right on the edge of wakefulness,” Burke said. “This is when our hard drive full of memory gets defragged. We are filing away the day’s new information. It’s like Random Access Memory filing. You are shifting stuff around, opening up some windows and moving things from short-term storage to long-term. Old information is discarded.” Olin added, “REM is considered a dream sleep, however, a person can dream in other stages of sleep. On the EEG during REM, signals from leads on the chin will drop to their lowest point. When a person goes into REM there is a loss of muscle tone so the chin will drop. Your muscles are actually functionally paralyzed when you go into REM. Rapid eye movement is detected. A fine sawtooth pattern develops on the EEG.” Think about your dog that thrashes about, believing he’s running or chasing something while he dreams. The muscle twitches are reminiscent of REM stage sleep. “I think so many people have the perception of sleep as putting the car in the garage and turning it off. The car is then inactive,” Burke said. “But sleep is a very active process.” Body temperature plummets during the night, sometimes by two degrees or more. Keeping the bedroom on the cool side is recommended. Warm rooms will cause sleepers to wake up sweating. Get up to go the bathroom and turn on a bright light — you’ve just stimulated your optic nerve into wakefulness. Your melatonin levels dive and you’re wide awake at three in the morning. “Sleep is the best meditation.” Dalai Lama Stress is a huge problem for people who have trouble falling asleep. It hits every age group. Here’s a common scenario: You’re dog-tired all day. The 2:30 p.m. blood sugar crash has you almost head down at your desk. You vow to get to bed early. Before you know it, it’s 10:30 p.m. and you’re staring at the ceiling. “Some people, myself included, have a hard time shutting their brain off,” Olin said. “You may be extremely tired but once you lay down, boing, you’re wide awake.” Burke agreed. “The biggest thing with people who have sleep onset problems is they cannot shut off their mind. They are trying to reconcile the day when they should be putting all that aside. They are thinking about tomorrow before that day has arrived.” The experts agree: Spend 15 minutes or more counting sheep and you might as well get up. “You need to just get up and leave the room when that happens. Stop trying to focus on falling asleep,” Olin said. “Do something that’s going to make you tired like reading. Sit up, don’t lie down. Stop watching the clock. Try to avoid direct light, say, from a computer. To stay lying there and keep trying to fall asleep is defeating the purpose.” Another no-no in the practice of good sleep hygiene is use of a TV to help you conk out. It’s a rookie mistake. “Some people say they can’t sleep without the TV on. They use that to ‘debrainify’ — to keep their mind off of everything,” Olin said. “It’s fine if you need some background noise, but use a radio or something because the TV has flashing light that is stimulating a person to wake up.” “I’ll sleep when I’m dead.” Warren Zevon The term “power nap” was coined by Cornell University social psychologist James Maas. Some swear by the practice of catnapping for 20 minutes. They wake feeling refreshed and revitalized. But are naps useful? “Technically, you are probably not going to sleep,” Burke said. Twenty minutes simply isn’t enough time for the body to enter into any form of slow wave, restorative sleep. “These people who talk about sleeping for 10 or 15 minutes shouldn’t be refreshed from that kind of sleep. That just doesn’t happen. My theory is that you are enjoying the benefits of a type of transcendental meditation. You just totally relax and it’s like hitting a reset button in your brain. You purge all these stressors. It’s a soft boot where sleeping is a hard boot. It seems to work for some people.” Olin said, “[Naps] are actually very valuable. From all the research I’ve been reading, and in my own experience, they are helpful for a lot of people and can be restorative.” Adjustments to our biological clocks are difficult but not impossible. We are triggered mainly by light to maintain a circadian rhythm that’s actually a bit longer than 24 hours. Shift workers and coast-to-coast flyers get a taste of what happens when that rhythm is jimmied with. Burke and Olin both have a few tricks they employ to get back on schedule when they work the late shift or experience jet lag. It’s all about preparing yourself ahead of time and altering your routine. With the return to Standard Time last weekend, many Americans welcomed the extra hour of snooze time like finding change in the couch cushions. The dreaded lost hour entering Daylight Saving Time is tougher. Much tougher. New research using Michigan’s BMC2 database shows that heart attacks — which historically occur more often on Monday mornings than any other day of the week — jump by 25 percent on the Monday following “spring forward” compared to other Mondays of the year. In Russia, President Vladimir Putin signed into law this past summer a bill that abandons the highly unpopular Daylight Saving Time, keeping all 11 time zones in the country on standard “Winter Time.” Closer to home, Utah is making noise about bucking the system and joining Hawaii and Arizona as states uninterested in keeping DST. Nationwide polls consistently show Americans prefer one time or another but not both. www.planetjh.com l November 5 - 11, 2014 9 Well,that happened Serial podcast tests patience During a rainy Icelandic afternoon somewhere between Egilsstaðir and Höfn, my road trip friends and I decided to listen to a podcast that I had recently downloaded. I had never really fallen in love with a podcast like some of my friends have; I guess I just never found the right niche to hold my attention. And then, Serial landed in my lap, and everything changed. NPR’s This American Life contributor Sarah Koenig is our host, and Serial, as she describes it, is: “One story told week by week.” Season one of Serial deals with a crime investigation, but next season will be a completely different story. And to get the full tale, you cannot just jump in anywhere — you need to start at the very beginning. Episode one. A very good place to start. Before I go any further, I have to tell you that I am overwhelmingly infatuated with Serial. I cannot help myself. This first season’s story chronicles the mysterious murder of Hae Min Lee, a Korean high school student who was strangled to death in Baltimore in January of 1999. And if you are not listening to this podcast, or have no idea what podcasts are, you are missing out on 2014’s most riveting journalistic event, something that just might get Pulitzer recognition. Feeling guilty? Staring out the window as my friend Caroline drives through the winding wet roads of Iceland’s east coast, I found myself lost not in the scenery, but in Koenig’s jarring retelling of the story of Adnan Syed, the young man who was convicted of Hae’s murder 15 years ago, and the messy, inconsistent investigation that led to 10 November 5 - 11, 2014 l www.planetjh.com ELISE BERGERSON Andrew Munz Sarah Koenig keeps Serial listeners hanging. his conviction. I won’t spoil anything for those who have not listened to the show, but it’s intense and will likely infuriate you to the point of calling everyone you have ever met to find someone (anyone!) to join you in a debate weighing Adnan’s possible innocence and his imprisonment. Will there be a smooth and creamy conclusion to Serial that closes the case? “I know there seem to be people who want a clear up or down vote, and I don’t know what to say to that,” Koenig said in a Buzzfeed interview. Tricky I have this thought that maybe this could all be a front put on by Koenig and NPR, and the final episode could blow us all away with Koenig’s ultimate finale. Then, in a dramatic world-of-journalism-altering move, Adnan gets cleared of all charges thanks to Koenig’s investigative methods, changing podcasts and news forever! Or it could end with Koenig droning, “We may never know what really happened to Hae Min Lee ...” If you’re a Serial listener, you identify with me, and will agree that this is all quite frustrating. The world we live in is full of easily accessed information. Any of us could do a quick Google search and learn what we can about Hae Min Lee and what went down in Baltimore those 15 years ago. I’m sure some of you have tried. But it’s how Koenig reveals the information that really hooks us. Each episode is dedicated to a certain piece of information or a suspect that helps construct the eventual puzzle. Last week’s episode, “The Case Against Adnan Syed,” is the reason I wanted to write this article. The ending of Episode 6 is a game-changer, and it completely altered my perspective of Adnan and what we can expect in the upcoming episodes. And what’s so exciting about this series is the patience that’s required. I can’t learn what Koenig learned. We don’t have access to the recordings or the evidence photos. We can’t independently figure it out, so we rely on Koenig to feed us the story. Serial tests the patience of the typical 21st century listener, and that’s what makes it so damn fascinating and masterful. We can’t flip to the last page to see what happens or even spoil ourselves on Wikipedia to see what truly went down. Koenig’s investigation is strictly told week by week. And if you know me, you’ll know that anything that can distract me from gushing over Iceland, even as I’m driving through it, is worth checking out.

Teton Artlab inspires new recording Aaron Davis Dusty Nichols-Schmolze and Bo Elledge (formerly of Elk Attack) are collectively known as Canyon Kids. Along with The Flannel Attractions’ singer-songwriter Pat Chadwick, the trio has embarked on a DIY recording project housed at Teton Artlab. The album is being engineered and produced by Nichols, with songs written by Elledge and Chadwick. Planet Jackson Hole: How did the residency at Teton Artlab come about? What is its duration? Dusty Nichols-Schmolze: Bo sparked up a conversation with Travis Walker about a space to record in, and Travis very gener- l www.planetjh.com ously offered up a room for us to use at the Artlab. His artist residency program is starting on the first of the New Year, so until then the space is available. We moved in there and set up my equipment a few weeks ago. PJH: What are the pros and cons of the recording space at the Artlab? Dusty: I think the environment has a big effect on how recordings come out. If the artist is feeling comfortable, and the vibe is good, you don’t need the fanciest equipment to get a great recording. At the end of the day, it comes down to good songs, good performances and good vibe. It’s such a blessing to have a space in town where you’re free to be creative and work on your craft, and the Artlab is just that. With those concrete walls it certainly has some roominess to it, but I like that. It’s unique. PJH: What’s one of your favorite tunes that you’ve written for this project? What’s the vibe of the music, and lyrically, what’s it about? Pat Chadwick: “Love Won’t Grow.” It’s a favorite because it switches between three different feels — soft guitar fingerpicking, swampy rock and a bluegrass vibe of sorts — and I think that they work really well together. Lyrically, it suggests that there isn’t “the one” romantically, but instead many potential “ones,” and that convenient timing is a bigger part of a relationship than we like to think. Bo Elledge: “Valley of the Snake.” It’s sort of a nostalgic song about love and loss. I moved back to South Carolina this past winter and couldn’t get Wyoming out of my mind. At the peak of the song I scream, “Had an old Chevrolet/Had a cowboy on her plate/She took me places I’d never been.” It’s funny how living here for a couple years can fundamentally - CALENDAR AARON DAVIS change you. PJH: What will be the album title? Dusty: Teton Artlab Sessions by Canyon Kids and Pat Chadwick. PJH: Who has played/tracked on the album thus far? Dusty: Right now only four of us have been tracking. Jake Green has been tracking drums, and he’s doing a fantastic job. So far I’ve tracked bass, some electric guitar and percussion. Bo and Pat have been laying down acoustic guitar. PJH: What albums have you guys been listening to lately? Bo: Shovels & Rope: Swimmin’ Time, the new Shakey Graves album, the new Blitzen Trapper album, Jack White: Lazaretto, and Bob Dylan’s new Basement Tapes. Pat: Shovels & Rope: Swimmin’ Time, The National: High Violet, The Walkmen: Heaven. Dusty: Spoon: They Want My Soul, Jack White: Lazaretto, and I think my favorite record of the year is Sun Structures by Temples. PJH: How does this project compare in scope to previous Canyon Kids and Elk Attack recordings? Bo: Dusty and I have collaborated on recording projects every October since 2011. We’ve learned a whole lot about what works and what doesn’t. For the fulllength Elk Attack album we had to finish nine songs in four days. The record turned out awesome but it was a tad rushed. Post Elk Attack disbandment, Canyon Kids was recorded over a period of two months and we weren’t as rushed to meet a deadline. We decided to do it again this year except no fancy studio and on the cheap. It’s taking us back to our roots of bedroom recording and making demos. It’s like we The musicians hark back to their days of bedroom recording at Teton Artlab. are trying to catch lightning in a bottle. PJH: Pat — with The Flannel Attractions playing less, have you had more time to focus on songwriting? Pat: The Flannel Attractions haven’t been creating new original music, but members of the band have still been gigging together occasionally, and I could see some of them recording on this project before it’s complete. Still, that free time has helped inspire an influx of new songs. The main difference is that I’ve developed these songs with the help of rock and soul musicians instead of bluegrass musicians, and that has opened up a more dynamic range of options when it comes to rhythm and color. PJH: Pat — is this your second recording project in Jackson? How is this experience different? Pat: Yes, that’s correct. With The Flannel - - - - - - - - - - Attractions, I was heavily involved in producing our EP, and I would obsess over certain things. This time, there have already been several occasions where Dusty has stepped in to say that a take was actually good when I wanted to keep recording, so I’ve been trying to sit back and trust another set of ears to naturally capture these songs. PJH: Dusty — what projects have you engineered and produced in JH? Dusty: Sneaky Pete & the Secret Weapons’ first recording, Black Mother Jones’ full-length at the studio in the Pink Garter Theatre, my Canyon Kids project at the Pink Garter, an A/B side single release with Maddy and the Groove Spots at Ben Winship’s studio, and most recently I engineered and produced Sneaky Pete’s fulllength record, which will be released in December. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - JUDD GROSSMAN BAND ••••••• Gold Medal Award Winning Wings 2 years running! - Check out your favorite NFL or College team on our 10 HD TVs! ••••••• 12 new beer taps coming soon! - Serving lunch daily 11am 832 W.

Baskin is a peace activist who initiated the secret back channels used between Israel and Hamas that led to the release of abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit. He wrote about the secret negotiations, published last year in English, in the book “The Negotiator — Freeing Gilad Schalit from Hamas.” Baskin returns to Jackson for the second consecutive year as a guest of the Jackson Hole Jewish Community group to speak about conflict resolution and negotiating skills. In addition to the school presentations, he will also address the public in a free talk at 6 p.m. on Monday at the Black Box Theater in the Center for the Arts. “It’s life-changing for these kids to work with someone at this level about negotiating with hostile partners,” said Mary Grossman, Jackson Hole Jewish Community executive director. The Jackson Hole Jewish Community brought Baskin to Jackson last year, and decided it was worth bringing him back to talk with more students. Grossman said there is value in bringing Baskin back for a second year as the IsraelGaza conflict in August was in the news, and with social media changing discourse, there was a lot of misinforma- Peace activist and international negotiator Gershon Baskin speaks at Center for the Arts at 6 p.m. Monday tion and misunderstanding. People had strong, but uninformed opinions. “This would be the guy to come listen to, to understand what really happened,” she said. ”This is the guy to sort things out.” Baskin is considered a Hamas expert and while his views are progressive he’s a balanced speaker, Grossman said. His visit provides a rare opportunity to hear someone with his experience and expertise speak. Scher and other students who heard Baskin last year recognized how lucky they were to hear someone like him talk about international affairs. “The things he’s done in his life are absolutely incredible and he was able to share them with us,” Scher said. “He’s been in the thick of it. We hear about Israel and Palestine, but to get to hear from someone who’s been incredibly important and played an important role is amazing.” LOCAL & VOCAL Baskin is able to take the complex issue of Israel and Palestine and make it understandable. He also presented the issues in an objective way. “It’s incredible how complicated these issues are,” Scher said. “We look at them from this media bias and this bias we have just being American and out of the fray of what’s going on. He gives us the point of view of ‘this is what it’s like to be living it.’ ” Even though Scher heard Baskin last year, he’s excited to listen to him again. Global issues are always changing and there is always something new to learn, Scher said. And while Baskin is an expert on Israel and Palestine, Scher has questions about other international affairs he’s curious to get his take on, such as global warming as a security issue, the Islamic State group and Russia. Baskin is the vice president of Gigawatt Global, a company developing mid- and large-scale commercial solar energy projects in Palestine and Egypt. He’s also a consultant for the USAID Trade Project implemented by Deloitte International. Baskin served as the Israeli co-director of a public policy think tank, the Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information, which he co-founded in 1988 and remained involved with until 2011. Baskin founded the organization after 10 years of working in Jewish-Arab relations in Israel with Interns for Peace and as director of the Institute for Education for JewishArab Coexistence. He still serves on its board of directors. Baskin’s impressive resume also includes time as an advisor on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process to a secret team of intelligence officers. He also was a member of the Jerusalem Experts Committee established by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office during the final status negotiations in 2000-01 and is a member of the steering committee of the Palestinian-Israeli Peace NGO Forum and a member of the Alliance for Middle East Peace. He also serves on the editorial board of the Palestinian Israeli Journal and is a member of the Israeli Council for Peace and Security. Baskin received the Histadrut Prize for Peace in 1996, the Turkish Foreign Policy Institute Peace Prize in 2004, the Tribute of Honor and Courage from the World Movement for Democracy in 2004 and the Search for Common Ground Journalist Award for Middle East Journalism in 2005 and 2007.

New artists bring fresh visions Meg Daly Last week, Teton Artlab announced its roster of visiting artists in residence for 2015. The revamped, formalized program is a watershed moment for Jackson as a place for contemporary visual art. For more than two decades, Jackson has nurtured the talent of a number of serious contemporary artists including Abbie Miller, Mike Parillo and Suzanne Morlock to name just a few who have gained national recognition. Now, the Artlab’s visiting residency program enables contemporary artists from elsewhere to come here. The impact for our visual art community as well as the town could be huge. The 15 Artlab artists in residence (including one team of two artists) hail from around the nation and the world and represent a range of disciplines. All are talented and visionary, dedicated to research and to exploring their chosen media. Many will use their residency to respond to the local landscape and region, providing fresh ideas and dialogue about place. The residencies begin in January with two different artists staying for four weeks. David Buckley Borden is a printmaker from Massachusetts who intends to create a series of prints that map the pressures on Greater Yellowstone’s ecological landscape and its natural resources. New Hampshire sculptor Carmelo Midili uses canvas panels cut from discarded artworks to create colorful, twisting sculptures. Not only does Midili practice recycling, the work also plays with the concept of failure. In February, Cheyenne-based artist Georgia Roswell will expand upon her work with compressed fabric to create aerial views of geothermal features in Yellowstone and other landscape formations. In March, California installation art team Rebekah Meyer and Tim Berg will explore the commodity side of national parks, utilizing their Koonsesque approach to surface and color. Also in March, Massachusetts artist Andrew Neumann will work on a project that combines video technology and photography using landscape and the natural environment as visual source material. Roughly half of the visiting artists, including Neumann, Roswell and Borden, were selected because of the way their work intersects with science. Others who will explore scientific themes include California printmaker Jonny Alexander, California sound artist Joshua Short, English video artist Jordan Baseman, Venezuelan light artist Claudia Bueno, New York sculptor Andy Ralph and New Mexico painter Cedra Wood. Approximately 60 percent of the more than 500 artist residency programs in the United States are in rural areas or small towns. Exploring themes of place and environment often naturally arise out of these settings. While Artlab intentionally chose some artists who explore science and nature in their work, others are coming to Jackson with the intent to research landscape or place in imaginative ways. California-based Adonna Khare, who will visit in July, makes surreal drawings of animals. Oklahoma painter Jave Yoshimoto weaves animals and nature into his futuristic, print-like paintings. Ohio artist Barry Underwood, set to arrive in June, uses light and installation to comment on environment and place. Indiana painter Marna Sharpoff has an architectural approach and said she will explore the concept of phenomenology as it relates to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Design is a common thread for many of the artists. Patterns in nature are another crossover interest. What’s clear from all the applications is the artists’ tremendous shared enthusiasm for working in the Tetons. According to the Alliance of Artist Communities, artist residency programs are “research-and-development labs for the arts.” The Alliance goes on to say, “Supporting individuals in the creation of new work is essential to human progress — not as a luxury, not as a leisure activity, but as a vital and necessary force in society. Artists’ residencies are not about retreat; they are about advancement. Advancing creativity. Advancing human progress. Advancing the way we examine the world.” Bravo, Teton Artlab, for bringing this kind of advancement to our doorstep.

Talented skier and cinematographer Ryan Halverson works with Darrell Miller to document the joys of winter. Filming in the valley for more than a decade, Miller showcases the raw, homegrown nature of skiing and riding in the Tetons. You won’t see helicopters or large film crews buzzing about in this flick. Shot with non-commercial, high-definition cameras and Go Pros, you would barely notice if this crew was filming next to you. “Our cameras are the size of a coffee mug,” said Miller. Film highlights include Miller’s descent of the Billy Goat Couloir and Derek Deperio’s first free descent of the “G-String,’ a 500-footlong hourglass couloir with a 60-foot air drop. Other notable moments include female rippers Halina Boyd and Kelly Halpin enjoying February’s prolific powder. Skiers Dave Vanham and Jeff Ledger throw down on some big airs. Ryan Halverson comes off a knee injury for some spring mountain descents. Ryan Van Lanen, Lance Pitman and Japanese snowboard legend Shin Biyajima find jibtastic lines, while world- renowned riders Rob Kingwill, Schroder Baker and Daniel Tisi slash some technical pow. While a film like Land of 1000 Dreams could not be created without the riders, Miller said it is “more about being human and experiencing nature.” “It’s not about a particular person that’s doing it. It’s special that any human beings are doing these things,” he said. “This is a method of travel that we can experience in these wild places on this primitive equipment that humans invented.” The premiere also is a fundraiser for local nonprofits. “I’m totally vested in the causes this movie supports,” Miller said. Locals have turned out for these premieres for more than a decade to support the cause, contributing more than $40,000 to the Bridger-Teton National Forest Avalanche Forecast Center and the Brent Newton Memorial Ski Foundation. Silent auction and raffle items include a full season ski pass to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort along with gear from Stio, Smith Optics, Mountain Khaki and Never Summer. The film shows twice on Friday at Snow King at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. Tickets are available at The Liquor Store, Board Room and Wilson Backcountry Sports. After party at Hayden’s Post with Denver hip-hop artist Sid Fly and the Insomniacs. Jeff Leger pulls a classic backscratcher on a bluebird inversion day at JHMR.

I swung by Maverick for nourishment. Pickup trucks and men wearing Carhartts and hunter orange flowed in and out like a well-oiled machine. As I pulled into the parking lot I exchanged nods with a man sporting a three-day beard and driving a new one-ton Chevy Silverado, the sides splattered with mud and a Mossy Oak decal displayed on the windshield. Wearers of hunter orange bond by sharing the knowledge that we are superior in manly attributes to those who swagger around in lycra cycling tights or, in winter, show off the latest from Cloudveil while strutting into the bagel shop as if it was the runway of a fashion show; superior to those timid souls who see the outdoors as a place to recreate, to be in, but not to be of. We kill things. Well, mostly we kill tanks of gas, convenience store burritos and bottles of whiskey, but we are armed. Should an elk stumble in front of us, we will at the very least send massive amounts of projectiles and ordnance in its general direction. The coffee-and-doughnuts line inside Maverick moves with masculine efficiency. No one slows up commerce by ordering a double short latte, whole milk, no foam and an everything bagel with a schmear of sun-dried tomato olive, hummus and sprouts. Hunters don’t do schmears, sprouts or hummus. I put 10 chocolate-flavored creamers in a cup, topped it off with some coffee, grabbed a sausage-egg biscuit from under the heat light and got in line. Just then Lill, my redneck lover, walked in with two apprehensive men following behind. “Lill,” I said. “What’s going on?” “I filled out all my hunters and so I’m guiding a couple of Robert’s,” she said with a shake of her head. “He couldn’t find an elk if it was tied to him. But what are you doing here, Clyde? I thought you gave up hunting.” I cringed, hoping no one overheard. It was true that I gave up hunting three years ago after I got my elk. (It ran out in front of my truck after I finished a long night at the Virginian.) All that winter I ate elk steak and burger. If you have ever eaten elk, the first thing you notice is it doesn’t taste like pork and has almost no fat. “I still hunt Area 84,” I said defensively. Area 84 includes Smith’s Food. “Well, good luck,” she said as she filled a coffee cup. I paid and walked outside. So what if I no longer actually hunt? Hunting is about more than going after elk; it is about eating convenience store food, about driving around wearing orange, about not shaving, about belonging to the seasons. I hang out at Maverick wearing my orange until Smith’s opens. Fall’s Brand Bacon was two for one! I buy 10 pounds and return home with meat for the freezer.

The Town of Jackson’s overnight parking ban has gone into effect. So, if you want to void al l ki n d s o f h a ss l es , listen up! PARKING RE S T RI CT I O N S Through April 15th, between 3am & 7am, it’s illegal to park overnight on Jackson streets, including public parking lots, regardless of weather (rain or shine, snow or bikini). Crews begin plowing at 3am. Parked cars on town streets make the job of keeping roads clear of snow more difficult. Consequently, cars left on town streets between 3am & 7am will be ticketed and may be towed by Jackson police. To retrieve your car, contact Flat Creek Towing at 733-2869, 1405 S. Gregory. Overnight parking is allowed in the public parking structure at W. Simpson Ave. and S. Millward St. but not on other town parking lots. %%*+6 (-3(1%0 6.2 1. !$3%/1(0% (- 1'% 4(-1%/ 2++ .+./ /.#'2/% 7 ($%+6 (01/("21%$ &&./$!"+% 7 51%-0(3% -1%/1!(-,%-1 %0.2/#% - /(-1 -+(-% 7 (--2!+ 002%0 !++ ./ %,!(+ 0!+%0)'4%%*+6#., SHOVELING REQUIREMENTS Additionally, we would like to remind people: Town residents are responsible for keeping sidewalks shoveled. • The TOJ assists with snow removal in the downtown core and along Broadway. • Residents should not put their garbage cans out the night before, but rather after 7:00am on garbage days. • Please keep trash cans, cars, and other obstacles out of the streets and off of the curbs. This saves your property and makes the streets more clear of drifts and snow. • Residents are also encouraged to help keep fire hydrants clear of snow.
