GuestOpinion
By Cathy Beloeil
Condemn ignorance, not race or religion
In light of recent events that rocked France this past
week, I felt compelled to share my thoughts as a nonjudgmental French person, open to all religions and all
races, an immigrant myself.
French people have been hit right at the core of
their beliefs. It was a blow to the nation, no doubt; a
nation where freedom of speech and expression
ranks high on the value scale that people live by; a
nation known for protecting its peoples’ own rights
but also for being a defender of human rights in general, regardless of race or religion. For more than a
century, France has had its frontiers open to every
mistreated human, every oppressed nation, so much
that our own people are an mélange of all the races
and cultures that we embrace. France and French
people have opened their doors, their territory, their
schools, their jobs, and their hearts to people of all
backgrounds. And this is what they are harvesting in
return.
I remember being shocked once while I was with my
father in Cannes, the town where I was born. I must
have been no more than 7 or 8 years old. We were at the
train station visiting one of my father’s friends who had
a little shoe repair stall there. I heard a commotion and
two young North African men started insulting my father’s friend. My father, being the defender of rights
that he was, ran toward the stall ready for battle. A cop
was nearby, thank god, and the two young men were
escorted outside of the train station. What shocked me
more than anything was hearing them say: “It is because we are Arabs!” And they kept on saying it. In my
mind I could not understand what being an Arab had
to do with being removed from the premises when insulting another human being. Of course it didn’t take
me long to understand that this was the biggest excuse
leading to the cruelest acts.
After that day, I began noticing the same thing happening over and over again everywhere I went. Things
as trivial as telling someone that your restaurant was
closed, for example, and being called racist because
the person you told was from somewhere else. Eventually anything and everything can be perceived as an
act of racism.
Heightened sensitivity, righteousness and intoler-

ance may all lead to the violence we are witnessing
today in France. I feel for the families of the victims. I
also feel for all Muslim people in France and elsewhere
who value life and differences and who are just as
shocked as we are by these events, supposedly perpetrated in the name of Islam.
Islam does not preach violence and murder, Islam
teaches acceptance and tolerance, the value of life and
the evil of greed. It teaches the same values as any
other religion. The problem is when man interprets it,
twists it and molds it into something that will make
him more powerful.
I have been lucky enough to spend seven years of
my life with Muslims and they were some of the kindest, most honest people I have had the pleasure to
meet. They were not extremists. They were just gentle,
tolerant people. I am afraid that these events will fuel
the hate for Islam and jeopardize any chance for understanding, cutting off and punishing not just the extremists but everyone else associated with the same
religion, too.
Anyone who has studied the latest facts on world religion should be aware of the belief that at the beginning of Islam, the prophets and their followers were
the most enlightened and the most tolerant of all religions of the time. They were also the most educated
and they invited people from all parts to study in their
university. They treated them as equals. Women were
encouraged to study and, in fact, the Muslim religion
was the first to recognize divorce petitioned by
women. Today, however, what we know of Islam is very
far removed from its roots.
Of course, religions are not the only responsible entities fostering extremists; the same can be said about
politics.
The people who committed these murders need to
be punished and have been. But let’s not allow the
anger we feel to make us one of them. Let’s not allow
the anger we feel to be directed to Muslims as a
whole. I am sure most of them are horrified by the
atrocity perpetrated in the name of their religion.
War should be fought against ignorance not race,
culture or religion.

Did anybody notice the almost 70-degree swing we had in temperatures during the first week of January? We went from a low of 25
below zero in town on New Year’s Eve to a high of 43 degrees on January 6th, 2015. That is a 68-degree difference, inside of a week! If
you missed that, maybe you noticed a more subtle change that is occurring, the days are starting to get longer. We gain a minute or two
of daylight per day this week.
The Cool:Listed below is the coldest day on record for this week, which was minus 37 degrees on January 19, 1960. I did find a colder
temperature in the Jackson climate archives, on some old parchment paper, that was from way back on January 19, 1922, with a low of
42 below zero. Some of those old records are less reliable than the records we have from about 1950 forward.
The Hot: Fifty-five degrees seems to be a popular high temperature in mid-January, it was the record high in the record books from
last week, and it’s the record high in the record books this week, from Jackson’s weather annals. It
is also the official high for the month of January. During this week in 1974 it tagged that magic number 55, on January 16th. You would have to go as far south as Arizona or Florida to get that kind of
warmth right now.

Equality State’s inequality
WINTER 2015
AARON SCHRANK
Aaron Schrank’s fine piece for
Wyoming Public Media was broadcast over the weekend. Titled, “Inequality In The Equality State:
Disparities Abound In Wyoming’s Renowned Ski
Town,” the five-and-a-half minute radio story explores the chasm-like income level gaps in residents of Wyoming’s ski towns – beginning and
ending with Jackson Hole.
It’s not all doom and gloom. Despite alarming
numbers – Teton County residents boast a $72,000
median household income level while immigrant
households pull in more like $26,000 a year – programs exist to help minorities and those falling
below the poverty line.

slopes. And recent statistics show the disparity between middle school whites and Latinos (93 percent of eighth-graders scored proficient or advanced in
math compared to 67 percent of Latinos) is shrinking.
Teton County mirrors the rest of the nation as far as wealth distribution – income and wealth disparities
in the United States are the most pronounced they’ve been in decades, according to Schrank. Local economist Jonathan Schechter, founder and executive director of Charture Institute, believes the situation is
exacerbated here with more at the extreme top and extreme bottom.

Congratulations to Grand Teton
National Park and START Bus. Both
entities experienced record numbers
in 2014.
A press release from Grand Teton authorities
stated more than 4.29 million people passed
through park entrances last year with 2.79 million
of those making GTNP their ultimate recreation
destination. Additionally, 97 percent of park visitors claimed overall satisfaction with their visit as
determined by a survey conducted over the summer by the Pacific Consulting Group.
A government shutdown in 2013 skewed that
year’s numbers, but visitation has been steadily rising since NPS adopted a new accounting system in
1992. The 2,791,392 visitors in 2014 was 1.2 percent
better than the park’s best year in 1998.
The survey also found 99 percent of responSTART Bus had its busiest year to date in

ceived from park employees, and 96 percent were
pleased with the value of the park entrance fee they paid.
START Bus had its busiest year to date in 2014, carrying 973,702 riders. That’s an 8 percent increase over
2013. Ridership was up nearly every month including impressive double-digit jumps during the summer
months – a possible indication mass transit is catching on with tourists and everyday commuters.
“It is exciting to be able to continue to break records and it is really encouraging that so many people
are choosing to ride the bus,” START administrator Michael Wackerly stated in a press release. “We work
hard to try and accommodate everyone who wants to ride. We are always looking for better ways to serve
the community and make the bus as accessible as possible.”

Jackson Hole. At least, that’s
what Cole says.
“I wondered if I would be able
to play wherever we might go – for
instance, visiting friends and fam-
ily in other states. The places we
go are Jackson, WY; Boston; Washington, D.C.; Columbus, OH; and
Toledo, OH. And sure enough, Internet research revealed that pickleball is available in all of those
locations,” Cole wrote.
The Rec Center has offered
pickleball, locally. Cole claims in
her piece that U.S. Pickleball Association estimates there are
150,000 pickleball players in the
country. Expect to see her here

News of Lonely Planet’s strategic stake in Teton Gravity Research has hit trade publications
including First Tracks online,
where we caught it.
The travel media company announced last week they were
partnering with the action sports
media house TGR. The invest-
ment comes as TGR has doubled
in size in recent years, according
to First Tracks.
“TGR’s resources provide a
fantastic expansion of our rapidly growing efforts in video and
our digital ecosystem,” Daniel
Houghton said. He is the CEO of
Lonely Planet. “Synergies between adventure travel and highend media content will expand
the reach of both the Lonely

Winter wedding
“It was about 11 degrees outside. It was short and sweet.”
Those were the words of philanthropist Ann Lurie, 69, describing the outdoor wedding
ceremony at her home in Jackson Hole. Lurie married film editor Mark Muheim the day after
Christmas, telling Crain’s
Chicago Business, “It was perfect
for us. It wasn’t a big to-do.”
The private ceremony was
held by the river in front of the
fishing shack about 300 feet from
the front door of their home, according to Crain’s. Mulheim had
to plow a road to the site and
build a bonfire for the affair. Witnesses included two friends and
the couple’s dog, Sophie.
Muheim, 61, has two children
from a previous marriage. He
and Lurie have been a couple for
about six years.
Lurie told Crain’s that Jackson
Hole may sound far away to
many of her family and friends
in the Windy City but added,
“I’m in a place that’s really comfortable, but I still love Chicago.”
Dead on arrival
Bill Bricker left this world

for him. The 94-year-old former
camp counselor accused of molesting at least two minors while
working at Teton Valley Ranch
Camp died January 10 as Teton
County authorities were attempting to extradite him to
Wyoming.
The Traverse City Record-Eagle
reported Grand Traverse County
Prosecutor Bob Cooney as treating Bricker with “dignity and respect” throughout the process.
The Michigan paper also quoted
Bricker’s attorney as saying his
client maintained his innocence
to the end.
“When he was still able to
communicate with us he denied
the charges and he wanted to
know who was making the accusations,” said Anders Gillis,

Vintage snowcoaches to
make last rounds in Yellowstone
BY KARYN GREENWOOD
When the summer season winds down in Yellowstone, guests ask with increasing frequency about
winter in the park. What do the animals do? Can you drive in the park? What is the weather like?
As a summer tour guide, I am always sad, and more than a little embarrassed to say, “I honestly
don’t know.” Although I could piece together what the experience might be like from books, articles, and photographs, I had not visited Yellowstone in the winter. So I talked my husband and another couple into an overnight visit in the dead of winter. At the time I didn’t know we would be
riding in the historic Bombardier snowcoaches, slated for decommission next year.
“What is that?” I exclaimed as we pulled into Flagg
Ranch, just south of the South Gate of Yellowstone. It was
January 2, and we had just arrived to meet our winter
transportation into the national park. So here we were,
arriving for our big Winter Wonderland adventure, when
a small, car-sized yellow vehicle, vaguely shaped like an
elongated Volkswagen Bug, appeared in front of us, laboriously maneuvering in the road ahead. It sported skis for
front wheels, and what I learned are called “mat tracks”
for back wheels, much like a snowmobile. Two exhaust
stacks brought up the rear and a large tarp on top served
as storage. We watched in stunned amazement and
sporting appreciation as the driver used her whole upper
body strength, and verily her whole body weight, rising
clear out of her seat to turn the wheel.
“Are we riding in that thing?” Rebecca excitedly wondered aloud. Indeed we were.
Story of da Bomb
A far cry from the snow-adapted passenger van I had
imagined when booking our trip, “that thing” turned out
to be a 1965 Bombardier Snowcoach. Joseph Bombardier
built the Bombardier, or “Bomb” for short, in Québec,
Canada, in 1937 for use as a utility vehicle. A born tinkerer, Bombardier’s father gave him what he thought was
a non-functional car, “to get him to stop taking apart the
family car,” explained Leslie Quinn, interpretive specialist at Xanterra.
A few weeks later, Bombardier and his brother Leopold
came storming out of the barn with the vehicle frame
mounted on skis and fitted with a propeller, Leopold
standing on the back just feet from the rotating blades.
“Their father made them dismantle it immediately,”
8 January 14 - 20, 2015
l www.planetjh.com
Quinn said. “He was afraid they’d kill themselves, and it
scared the livestock.”
Unfazed, Bombardier went on to make over-snow vehicles his lifelong business. He envisioned a personal vehicle that could replace the dogsleds required for
transportation in Canada for many months of the year.
For this reason, Bombardier wanted to call his new passenger sled a “Ski Dog,” but due to a typo we now know
them as “Ski Doos.” Over the years, the Bombardier
snowcoach has been adapted for many uses, including
ambulances and winter school buses.
Winter touring of Yellowstone was not originally what
Bombardier had in mind for these vehicles, but Walt Stuart, born and raised in West Yellowstone, was on the inaugural winter tour in 1950 after receiving permission
from the Park Service to operate commercial tours inside
the park. The first tour was in a snow plane, sans wings.
The snowcoaches were introduced a few years later, and
Xanterra currently owns a fleet of 21 1965-1978 Bombardiers, of which about 12 are in service.
Quinn fondly remembers his time driving Bombardiers with Stuart in the early 1980s. “That was probably the highlight of my career,” he said. In particular,
Stuart was known for never wearing a coat. Only once,
Quinn recalled, “he had a rain slicker, you know, without
any insulation, draped over the back of his seat. It was
negative 37 [degrees] out, so he thought he should bring
one along.” Stuart’s hardy presence lives on in the snowcoach staff today, as I observed no coats worn among the
snowcoach drivers during our visit.
Winter wheels
Coats or not, our drivers all relished in operating the
Bombardiers. Each Bomb has its own personality, so to
speak, and drivers address their vehicle individually by
number – our guide, William, drives Seven-Twenty-One.
Thousands of visitors have hitched a ride, just like we
were, into the interior of a winter landscape seen by few.
Intended to carry 14 passengers, we thankfully were only
11 that day. Bench seats run along the sides and curve
along the rear in a “U” that creates an intimate environment to share the experience with fellow passengers.
Windows all around afford every passenger a view on our
five-hour ride and tour to Old Faithful.
We made an obligatory stop at the Yellowstone sign to
take group photos, and another at the frozen Moose Falls
where Bombardier drivers maintain the path down to the
view point shoveled and accessible all winter long for
their passengers. The drive along Lewis Canyon elicited
some gasps from the group. The guardrails are buried
deep beneath the snow, making the precipitous drop
into the canyon seem more dangerous than ever.
Undoubtedly, the ride was noisy, only those lucky
enough to be in the front seats could hear the driver
while in transit, and he even offered ear plugs for those
who wanted them. A smoother ride than the jumping
steering wheel would suggest, several of us nodded off in
the warmth and gentle jostling motion between stops.
William told us the Bombardiers are great for driving
in powdery snow, and can drive up and over drifts. The
weather during our excursion did not require such maneuvering from the vehicles and their fearless drivers,
but it felt like an adventure nonetheless. The drivers also
acted as interpretive guides when we stopped at West
Thumb Geyser Basin for a walk around the thermal features. We learned about thermophiles and park history,
geology and ecology all on a short one-mile walk through
the wonders of Yellowstone. After each excursion, my en-
thusiasm remained undiminished when we climbed back into the
charismatic Bombardiers and rode off to the next stop.
Bye, bye, Bombardiers

Just like old and classic vehicles, the Bombs’ quirks and character
win over their passengers and drivers, despite shortcomings in efficiency and creature comforts. Since the park began regulating oversnow vehicles and OSV travel in the early 2000s, the push and pull of
the winter transportation debate has been brewing in Yellowstone.
The battle over winter use and transportation is many -faceted, but
basically falls into two camps – those who believe the landscape in
Yellowstone to be a sacred space, and desire it to be untouched by
human presence; and those who believe in personal liberty, and enjoy
the access winter transportation affords them and others who would
otherwise be unable to visit during the unforgiving winter months.
“From the beginning our mission has been to find a way to accommodate visitors and address concerns about resource impacts, including sound levels and air quality,” explained Yellowstone
spokesperson Al Nash. “For some years now snowmobiles have had
standards to meet. We felt it was appropriate to set similar standards
for snowcoaches.”
In a landscape where winter is a life and death experience for wild
inhabitants, the smallest management decisions can tip the balance.
As beautiful as the waterfalls and thermal features were along the
way, the lack of roadside wildlife was apparent. The Bombardier drivers admitted that they rarely see wildlife on their route from the South
Gate to Old Faithful. Do vehicles like the Bombardier, loudly making
its way through a landscape that can be as quiet as an abandoned
recording studio, make life for Yellowstone’s wild inhabitants unbearable, and even deadly? Expending energy to avoid disturbances from
vehicles can decidedly spell disaster for wildlife scraping by in lean
winter months. But visitors who’ve ridden in the Bombardier would
probably argue that it adds to the charm and rustic feel of a winter
visit to America’s first national park.
Several assessments, many years of court battles, and thousands
of public comments later, the park service’s solution is a new winter
use plan, to be phased in over two winters starting this year. Among
other things, the new plan calls for using the “best available technology” when it comes to OSV. The new guidelines specifically aim
to provide “a high quality visitor experience while protecting the
very thing [visitors] come to see,” Nash explained.
Indeed, the new four-stroke snowmobiles announced themselves
with little more than a hum as they entered single-file into Flagg
Ranch alongside us. The Big Foot-tire-equipped passenger vans,
able to drive over groomed, snow-covered roads, snuck in quietly
behind us at West Thumb Geyser Basin.
Charming and quaint as they are, the rumbling, sputtering Bombardiers are far from considered “best available technology.” It
would be a costly endeavor to retrofit the fleet to meet the new regulations. Instead, according to Bombardier driver Ruth, this will be
the last season the Bombs will be picking up passengers from the
South Gate.
“It’s the end of an era,” Ruth said of the decommissioning. During
the winter 2015-16 season they will do some interior park tours, and
pick up passengers from the North Gate. They will be retired at the
end of the winter 2015-16 season.
Is there any room for history when considering which vehicles to
use in the park? Is there space in a national park for sentimentality?
Ruth suspects either Xanterra or the Park Service will hold onto the
decommissioned vehicles. The last time they decommissioned and
sold an outdated vehicle, the
canvas-topped yellow tour
buses, they eventually bought
them back due to popular demand. These buses are now fitted with an updated engine and
chassis but retain their exterior
charm and carry visitors
throughout the park in the sumHeartfelt Feltie Bombardier mer. Does the future hold a similar fate for the Bombardiers?
“They spent around $250,000 per vehicle to bring back those
buses,” Quinn noted. “For a [Bombardier] that is used for three
months out of the year, it would be hard to swallow that cost.”
Seeing how much we admired the Bombardier, William suggested
that we visit the gift shop at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge. Another
Bomb driver has a company called Heartfelt Felties and has handcrafted ornaments for sale throughout the park and also on
Etsy.com. Before loading up for our final Bombardier ride home, I
sought out the tiny ornaments. A little yellow felt Bombardier, complete with tiny front skis and the spare wheel mounted on the front
will now hang on our Christmas tree. It will be a reminder of a bygone time, when Bombardiers rumbled their way through a wintry
Yellowstone landscape.

Native exposure
Robyn Vincent
Jackson Hole natives share certain discernible traits. Some point to a distinct
nonchalance and a lack of urgency, which
many of us transplants mimic for years
before true mastery. Others might say it’s
a small-town softness, a level of approachability.
Another virtue common among the indigenous Jackson Hole species, particularly among its young populace, is an
inexhaustible creative streak. In a tightknit community that fosters art and creativity, it is not often that one encounters
a young Jacksonite who isn’t nourishing
their artistic hankerings in some way or
another. This is why the new art exhibit,
“Born and Bred,” holds special merit.
Conceived by former Rose curator and
Center of Wonder executive director Lyndsay McCandless, “Born and Bred” illuminates more than 20 young artists born
and/or raised here. Local artist Camille
Davis is a co-curator of the show.
“Similar to any small community in the
middle of nowhere, as kids we had to find
10 January 14 - 20, 2015
stuff to do, and for a lot of us that was
being creative,” explained Davis, whose
work also hangs in the show.
A mélange of both undiscovered and
rising names, “Born and Bred” showcases
artists such as Amy Dowell, Mark and
Wade Dunstan, Scotty Craighead, Olaus
Linn, Owen Ashley, Emily Paul and Remy
Milosky, to name just a few.
Local scribe and thespian Andrew
Munz, who authors The Planet’s weekly
pop-culture column, “Well, That Happened,” (page 14), will make his art
show debut. Munz, Davis explained, is
adding fine art sensibilities to his writings by framing hand-written stories in
a unique way.
Also making a debut in “Born and Bred”
is Austin Lobner, armed with a vibrant
retro style. His pen and watercolor neotraditional works are influenced by vintage tattoo flash.
So what fuels so many young artists
here, more so than, say, in small-town Nebraska (surely a lovely place)?
“In general nature creates an optimal
platform for creativity,” Davis noted.

you’re immersed in nature, or experiencing it on the level of breathing healthy

MARC COHN
CALENDAR
Grammy-winning songwriter Marc Cohn makes his Jackson debut at the Center Theatre on Monday.
Soul pop standout
Aaron Davis
Well-known for his 1991 adult contemporary hit “Walking in Memphis,”
Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Marc
Cohn has released five studio albums in
his career. His most recent release, 2010’s
Listening Booth: 1970 peaked at No. 28 on
the Billboard 200 and is a set of covers
ranging from Simon and Garfunkel’s “The
Only Living Boy in New York” to the Grateful Dead’s “New Speedway Boogie.”
“My relationship with ‘Walking in Memphis’ was incredibly personal,” Cohn told
Cleveland.com last October. “That’s really
what’s at the center of that song: the
power of the music, and that has never
left me. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed
playing it more than I have in the past few
years. I really just feel proud that that’s
l www.planetjh.com
my calling card.’”
If you think winning a Grammy might
be life-changing, imagine being conscious
while a doctor removes a bullet from your
head. Following a concert in 2005, Cohn
and his band were driving back to their
hotel in Denver when an attempted carjacking resulted in a gunshot wound to the
head. While Cohn prevailed physically, the
emotional toll was weighty. Four months
later, though, he was thankful to be back
on the road performing.
Inspired by reflections of Hurricane Katrina along with his own traumatic event,
Cohn ended a near 10-year recording
drought with 2007’s Join the Parade, one of
his most critically acclaimed albums.
A devoted connoisseur of pop music,
Cohn’s tenor croon is instantly recognizable. As a solo performer, he trades off be-
tween acoustic guitar and keyboards.
Marc Cohn, 7 p.m. on Monday at Center
Theater. $37-$47. JHCenterForTheArts.org.
Pinky in the Pink Garter
Jackson is a magnet for tribute bands.
Talking Heads, Metallica, Led Zeppelin,
The Grateful Dead, AC/DC, and multiple
Johnny Cash acts (Cash’d Out plays Friday at Town Square Tavern) have all
found a home away from home in the
Tetons. Why not some Pink Floyd tunes
with a respectable light show? Bozeman’s nine-piece Pinky and the Floyd
was conceptualized in 2007 featuring
some of the town’s most talented players.
With a songlist that boasts more than 60
songs, you will get Syd Barrett-era to Division Bell, and a slice of both note-fornote and improvisational. So if you need

Minor – the husband-andwife-led indie-folk quintet
from LA – instantly reminds
this listener of Edward
Sharpe and the Magnetic
Zeros, yet with a less layered, acoustic-driven sound.
The pseudo family band
(only the rhythm section
members aren’t related to
the others) has a sound defined by lead vocalist Justin
Minor, with bluegrass-style
harmonies adorned via his
wife, Kate. The band formed
in 2012 out of Justin’s “creative nervous breakdown,”
which had led him to take
an extended break from the
music world to travel the
jungles of Central and South
America and the redwoods
of California’s central coast.
A refreshing sound, solid
songwriting and singing,
this is one to put on your
radar.
Minor, 9:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday at the
Mangy Moose in Teton Village. Free.

Andrew Munz
I watched the 72nd annual Golden
Globes so you didn’t have to. Truthfully, I
was genuinely excited about Tina Fey and
Amy Poehler hosting for a third year in a
row. They’re an unstoppable comedy duo
in a room full of overpaid celebrities; what
could possibly go wrong? (Oh, Andrew of a
few hours ago ... you were so innocent
then.) And weirdly, I am really, really into
awards season! Or at least I thought I was.
After this year’s broadcast, I’ve come to the
scientific conclusion that I don’t really give
a crap anymore.
Fetch me my gilded soapbox.
Cold, cold opening
At the start of the show Tina and Amy
strolled out with their side-do and weird
spray tan, respectively, and came out
swinging. While they snapped out a few
quick jabs at George Clooney’s lifetime
achievement award and his new wife,
they delivered an uppercut to the absent
Bill Cosby.
“In Into the Woods,” Amy started, “Cinderella runs from her prince, Rapunzel is
thrown from her tower for her prince, and
Sleeping Beauty just thought that she was
getting coffee with Bill Cosby.”
Yowza. Apply cold water to burn. But
their Cosby-isms didn’t stop there. Tina
joined in and the co-hosts had a quick Imitation Game (nudge nudge) to see who
could do a better Cosby impression yam-
mering on about pills. The whole theater
sputtered their awkward uncomfortable
laughter, as Tina and Amy ramped it up
even further by bringing out fellow comedienne Margaret Cho as General Cho Yung
Ja, the faux North Korean representative of
the Hollywood Foreign Press.
Poor Meryl Streep had to stand up and
pose for a picture with the general as
Benedict Cumberbatch tried (and failed)
to photobomb. The joke fell flat, and Tina
and Amy decided to hang out in the wings
for the rest of the show.
Artists currently known as activists
I have to say, when Prince came out on
stage I was willing to bet money that Tina
or Amy had dressed up like him for a gag.
Sure enough, the real Prince came out in
full Prince regalia to tell us that “of course”
the song from the Martin Luther King Jr.
biopic Selma won Best Original Song.
But one of the best award-giving moments was when Jennifer Lopez and Jeremy Renner presented Best Actor in a
Miniseries.
“I’ve got the nails,” J.Lo said when Renner gave her the envelope.
“You’ve got the globes too,” he replied.
Sure enough, J.Lo’s bazoombas were practically ready to jump out and roll into
Helen Mirren’s lap.
This year there were very few tears and
plenty of dedications to buzzworthy news
events. Selma winners dedicated their
award to the slain NYC police officers;
George Clooney and Jared Leto crooned
“Je Suis Charlie;” and the creator of the
show Transparent dedicated her win to the
transgender community. It’s not uncommon for actors to pull real-world reverence
into their fairy tale, bullshit back-patting
ceremonies, but it’s starting to feel as
shoehorned as a Meryl Streep nomination.
No one has seen these movies
With the exception of maybe The Grand
Budapest Hotel and Into the Woods, there’s
not a single nominee that is the type of
movie the general public takes interest in.
With The Hobbit being over and done with
(its final chapter left too many annoying
kernels in reviewers’ teeth) and Unbroken
basically being snubbed across the board,
there’s very little mass appeal with these
films. A lot of them were limited releases
but without much buzz. It’s been a weird
year for movies, and this Golden Globes
show is a clear indication of that.
If you care, the two Best Picture winners
were Boyhood (drama) and The Grand Budapest Hotel (comedy). And if anything,
we’ll all soon be filling out our ballots for
the local cinema contest in hopes of scoring a year of free movies. That’s reason
enough to at least give these award shows
a passing glance.
But, honestly, screw this season. Peeking
at this year’s upcoming movie line-up, I
have a feeling we’ll be paying closer attention next year because we will have actually seen the movies.

Over the past couple of decades, tribute bands have become big

more popular ones are the acts that are most authentic. Such is the
case with Cash’d Out, a San Diego based band, that channels Johnny
Cash in about as close a manner to the real thing as it gets.

Bowling Green, Kentucky in 1995, and is best known for their hit
singles ‘Po’ Folk,’ ‘Awnaw,’ ‘Roun’ The Globe’ and ‘Good Day.’ They

Choosing the
last supper
It’s a question that sometimes comes up as a hypothetical: if you could plan it, what
would be your last meal?
Yes, I’m being slightly overdramatic here, but with several
months of chemo treatment in
my future, I looked at dinner
the night before my first treatment as my last supper for a
few months. Chemo, for those
who haven’t had the pleasure,
makes most everything you eat
taste either metallic and/or like
cardboard. And, to make eating
even more fun, there’s sometimes an accompanying nausea that lets you taste
everything again as it makes its
way back up. Fun times. I’ve
even heard that you don’t need
to actually be eating anything
to taste the wonderful flavors
of metal and cardboard.
I had about a week’s notice
to plan my last supper, and I
spent that week mentally going
through the candidates. Staying
at home and cooking dinner
was not an option. My family is
not one of chefs. (Although I
did briefly consider a last meal
of a batch of cookie dough,
which I do excel at making. Ultimately though, I decided that
would not be the best way to
support my body as it embarks
on this latest adventure.)
I wanted something that my
parents and my boyfriend
would like, but, of course, this
was a circumstance where I
didn’t feel badly making myself
priority No.1. So really it had to
be a place I loved.
It didn’t take long to simplify
the candidates: Snake River
Grill or Rendezvous Bistro.
Because I was feeling greedy,
I decided to do both: a romantic almost-last supper with my
boyfriend at the Grill and then
the true last supper with the
family at the Bistro.
Despite being amazingly
busy and my request coming at
the last-minute, I was grateful
the Grill managed to squeeze
us in, and at my favorite table
in the bar, nonetheless. But the
table was pretty much the
highlight of the meal.
Because I was trying to be
kind to my body, I didn’t order
alcohol; because he didn’t feel
like drinking, neither did my
boyfriend. We felt that decision
immediately relegated us to
second-class diners, a feeling I
have gotten before at the Grill
when I’ve opted not to drink.
We then created a meal out
of a number of shared plates
and appetizers, which I always
prefer to the Grill’s entrees. The
new Brussels sprouts preparation is delicious.
Even after our server offered
us a dessert on the house to
make up for the fact we didn’t
get our first bite of food until
an hour after sitting down,
there was nothing on the
dessert menu that called to us.
I put my puffy pants back on
and we walked home, disappointed.
But my true last supper at the
Bistro more than made up for it.
I had always thought I would cry
if the restaurant ever took the
pork adobo, my long-standing
favorite entrée, off the menu. It
turns out that instead I happily
ordered sea bass, ate a significant portion of my boyfriend’s
slice of meatloaf, had many
tastes of my mom’s beef bourguignon, and stole some bites
from my dad’s jambalaya. If it’s
Rendezvous Bistro’s jambalaya includes venison chaurice and
New Caledonian shrimp. A spicy dish with smoked poblanos.

a last meal, you’ve gotta go big.
Especially when each entrée
was better than the last.
The four of us all traded bites,
and we were all in agreement
there was no favorite. The Bistro
killed it across the board. Falling
asleep that night though, it was
the beef borguignon, something
I’d never order myself, I dreamt
about.
The entrees came after a
charcuterie plate, which included duck prosciutto, garlic
sausage, grappa-seared salmon,
chicken liver and foie gras
mouse, and some kind of heavenly preparation of venison.
There might also have been a
warm-up platter of a pink peppercorn-crusted prosciutto. I
could eat this for the rest of my
life and be very, very happy.
You’d think that after all of
this, there would be no room for
dessert. But we soldiered on.
Hands down, right now, for
my personal dessert preferences (well-crafted classics),
the Bistro has the best dessert
menu in town. Between the
four of us we had lemon crème
brulee, red velvet cheesecake,
and peanut butter pie. Again, I
could not decide on a favorite.
Last supper or not, the Bistro
is the best restaurant in the valley right now.

GetOut
Elizabeth Koutrelakos
At 5 a.m. I received a text from an
excited friend inviting me to ride Jackson Hole Mountain Resort due to
some “epic powder” that may or may
not have landed over night. This visiting friend decided he could not miss
an opportunity to stand around in the
dark with hoards of other ski bums for
a chance to ride the first tram.
Initially, I was a bit perturbed at myself
for not putting my phone in airplane
mode the night before. The only fluffy
white stuff I was interested in was the
down in my pillow. His excited text only
lured me deeper into the blankets.
Said friend did manage to guilt me into
going to the Village at a later time. This
verbal contract could have been the bane
of my existence, but I was determined to
enjoy myself and everything around me.
Going to the Village for me is about as
extreme of an event as any couloir. I have
no problem walking anywhere in the
woods endlessly in silence. However,
when it comes to hopping through a
myriad of bus stops, ticket windows and
chairlifts, I feel like I am in desperate
need of a guide.
The mayhem of a snowy morning at
the Village may create long tram lines,
but our 10 a.m. start allowed us to hop
onto Bridger Gondola in no time. Fear
not, I will not delve into all of the “sick
pow lines” we ventured to. I will concentrate solely on the glory of embracing
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort on a
crowded day.
I felt prepared mentally and physically for the crowds. With my Breathing book on tape in hand, I waited in
line, smiled, and stayed positive like
any good friend would.
When my comrade decided he wanted
to linger in the tram line for the five-box
wait, I happily agreed. “I love lines,” I
replied. The new tram maze is a bit tricky.
It’s nearly impossible to get in and out of.
I have a fear of mice, which translates to
a fear of being trapped or lost in a maze. I
have also heard stories of people getting
kicked out for attempting to relieve
themselves while stuck in the confines of
the tram queue. Before getting into the
line, I ventured to the bathroom to prevent myself from being arrested for public indecency and being uncomfortable
for the next hour.
Additionally, I refilled the cup of tea in
my thermos and added ample honey.
This way, I could have something to concentrate on while standing in the shady
sprawl of chew spit and breakfast burrito
crumbs. I prepared well with ample
snacks, both large and small. When I felt
nervous, I dipped into my huckleberry
stash in the Tupperware at the bottom of
my backpack.
By the end of the wait, I was so
snacked up on berries, chocolate and
other backpack goodness that I felt unstoppable. I walked right into the middle
of the tram. My friend remarked at my
fantastic mood, and I offered him some
more snacks.
AIDEN ULRICH
Sharing the stoke
Skier Sam Kinship flies high in the sky during a bluebird powder day at JHMR.
Upon reflection, I concluded that it is
possible that some of my innate distaste
for powder days at the Village could be
due to lack of snacks and dehydration.
Low blood sugar is known to cause
symptoms of irritability, nervousness and
anxiety. On this specifically wonderful
day, I had none of the above and felt unnaturally joyful.
By the end of the day, my friend was finally tired. He was too tired to do anything else but “apres” in the village. While
he met up with some friends, I initiated
my escape on the first bus home. I felt
happiness that I survived, and rejoiced in
the wonderful time I had once I embraced my surroundings.
Some places are not always filled with
solitude, however they can still hold
something special that cannot be created without large numbers of people:
innate stoke. Teton Village on a powder
day does not always call me, but on this
specific venture, I soaked in some
amazing views, delicious snacks, and
priceless friend time.

Blythe Winters-Paulson, Goldman Sachs
vice president of ethics, for whom I serve
as a beer-bellied cabana boy, was in town
last week. Between our bouts of lust she
had her nose in her laptop.
“I’m making a killing on currency markets,” Blythe said. “The collapse in oil
prices has triggered huge movements in
foreign-exchange markets. The Euro Zone
is in turmoil. Lithuania just entered;
Greece may leave; Spain may default and
Turkey may join. I love it! And doing business with Europeans has such an Old
World flare! In the U.S. we use cash to buy
politicians but we can gain access to the
continent’s finance ministers by buying off
their mistresses; it’s so romantic!”
Suddenly I had a thought. Could a Euro
Zone style strategy be applied in Hog Island? I had read a Mercedes Huff Associates ad in the News&Guide offering a
gorgeous, meticulously maintained,
charming dream house that included
“wonderful separation of space” located
on three picturesque acres in Wilson. What
exactly makes the separation of space
wonderful was not elucidated.
What caught my eye was that the dream
home was only steps away from “restaurant and market amenities in the Aspens
and less than five miles from Jackson Hole
Mountain Resort.” So the charming dream
"
!
!
WYOHISTORY.ORG
RedneckPerspective
Hog Island joins Wilson Zone
Wilson, WY, is a state of mind.
house in Wilson with the separation of
space thing was really in the Aspens or the
Pines. Who cares if Turkey enters the Euro
zone; I want to get Hog Island to join the
Pines and Aspens in the Wilson Zone.
Local realtors insist that Wilson is not a
geographic location but a state of mind, a
perception of reality based on image. “Implied location can be a driving factor in
real estate prices,” wrote Jonathan
Schechter in a recent News&Guide economics column. “An expansion of Wilson
location through a function of socially and
economically driven subjective pretense
models can expand reality to fit market demand.” (The News&Guide gets lots of ads
from realtors.)
“Blythe!” I exclaimed. “Let’s buy up all
the trailers in Hog Island then get Hog Island to join the Wilson Zone. Values of
double-wide trailers would increase at a
rate approaching subjective pretense levels. We could make a killing!”
Blythe was doubtful. “Hog Island
would have to meet Wilson Zone convergence criteria including the required percent of Subarus, bumper stickers, and
nannies per capita.”
“You mean they can let Turkey, which
happens to be located in Asia, in the Euro
Zone, but Hog Island, which I might remind you is on the West Bank of the Snake
River same as Wilson, cannot get in the
Wilson Zone! Surley there is a Realtor we
could bribe or blackmail.”
Blythe got teary eyed. “I love it when you
talk like that. Maybe we could find a place
at Goldman for you.”
So anyone wanting to buy a charming
dream double wide that includes “wonderful separation of space” located on a picturesque trailer space in Wilson, only steps
away from the South Park Feedgrounds,
give me a call!

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.
