READER COMMENTS 

On “Jackson Peak avi injures local” 

■ I bet he was using a airbag backpack. Because if he wasn’t he 

would be dead. Airbag backpacks save lives. Wearing one will keep 

you out of reach from the arms of death. I know, I’m a pro skier. 

■ Miles, where on your official “Pro Skier” ID card does it list your 

Avalanche Safety Expert credentials? Avalanche Safety goes beyond 

equipment, it is knowledge and caution, you should know that. 

■ Not if you are using a airbag backpack. Just pull the cord and the 

bag inflates. Once inflated you will float up. Avalanches are no match 

for an airbag backpack. Just me, I know. 

■ There is no such thing as a safe backcountry. The is no such thing 

as an avi expert who can foresee the future. You prepare for the 

worst and expect it to happen. You roll the dice no matter what the 

AVI Forecast is and no matter what your expertise is. The BTAC has 

no clue about the conditions you will encounter or the threat you 

will face. They provide a general overview. Like the weatherman, 

they have a useful but limited value. 

■ I bet he wasn’t wearing one. he got scrapped down rocks did you 

see the picture there isn’t much snow in the debris 

■ Don’t try to push your product at the expense of someone else injury, 

thats totally messed up. i happen to know that he wasn’t wearing 

an air bag and was just extremely lucky to wind up on top of the 

debris. 

■ Annnnd let the trolling commence! 

■ Miles is obviously joking-taking the piss at gearheads. Obviously, I 

wouldn’t trust my life to any air bladder to that extent, and neither 

would Miles, I’m sure. 

■ Use your head when traveling in the back country and this crap 

wont happen. two slides before thanksgiving really people are yo that 

hard up to go skiing these steep places. wait until there is snow cover 

you idiots 

■ Shopping for runs does seem silly given the conditions but I will 

quibble slightly with this comment: “use your head when traveling in 

the back country and this crap wont happen.” Those are famous last 

words. Crap happens. Safety is never guaranteed. The resorts can’t 

keep you safe. People head out for adventure so risk is part of the allure. 

Mountain bikers, skiers, whatever. But, yeah, use your brain but 

don’t count on it or gear to save your a$$. 

■ I’ll skip the avi bag – too much money, not a panacea, and just 

more weight – but it is cheaper than the ER. Death in the back country 

doesn’t bother me – it’s an injury that does. I can afford death. 

■ Blame dogs & their owners for just because there are too many 

dogs in Jackson and no your life will not be better if you have a dog 

or two of three, and horses ruining trails and those stupid four 

wheeled four seater atvs driving around town. Wait, blame the owners 

of those stupid four seater atvs. 

■ how do horses ruin trails? 

■ wow dogs and atv’s – this really is digressing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

Abortion and breast cancer 

Four weeks ago I started a controversy in this section 

of Planet JH Weekly that won’t seem to go away. I 

rebuked an ad, published during Breast Cancer Awareness 

Month, saying that abortion causes breast cancer. 

Today, I would like to close this issue once and for all. 

In last week’s issue, Ms. Malec, a social studies 

teacher who has taught both elementary and high 

school and is the founder and self-appointed president 

of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer and Dr. 

Lanfranchi, a New Jersey surgeon, questioned my understanding 

of biology. While I have never claimed to 

be an expert in breast cancer and am certainly not proabortion, 

I am a retired general surgeon with 30 years 

of experience as a professor of surgery, physiology, and 

medical education at three prestigious medical schools. 

Her website describes her as “open to alternative complementary 

treatments and believes deeply in ‘mindbody 

connection’ and the power of prayer.” She seems 

to have no credible scientific publications in peer-reviewed 

medical journals. She raises some interesting 

theoretical issues about how the breast matures and 

the effect of hormonal changes on the risk of breast 

cancer but cannot cite a single, credible scientific link 

between early termination of pregnancy by spontaneous 

miscarriage or induced abortion and later development 

of breast cancer. 

It is time to set the record straight. The world’s 

largest study looking specifically for a link between any 

interruption of pregnancy (miscarriage or induced abortion) 

studied 1.5 million women over 43 years and concluded 

that “after adjusting for known breast cancer risk 

factors….induced abortion(s) had no overall effect on 

the risk for breast cancer.” A later Harvard University 

study evaluated 100,000 U.S. women and found “no link 

between either spontaneous or induced abortions and 

breast cancer.” 

The National Cancer Institute, the American College 

of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American 

Cancer Society, and a group of more than 100 

experts in breast disease concluded, after extensive 

review of the world’s scientific literature, induced or 

spontaneous abortion is not linked to an increase in 

breast cancer risk. They conclude “the scientific evidence 

does not support that abortion of any kind 

raises the risk of breast cancer or any other type of 

cancer.” These organizations represent tens of thousands 

of physicians who concur with the organization’s 

findings. 

Ms. Malec and Dr. Lanfranchi are free to believe 

whatever they choose and can remain opposed to the 

world’s medical experts but, they cannot and should 

not use their personal biases to attempt to scare 

women who are facing the most difficult decision of the 

lives. Abortion may not be the best option but it is 

sometimes the only option for a woman with a highrisk 

or unwanted pregnancy.

Don’t diss the wilderness 

Jake Nichols's recent Diss (Planet Jackson Hole, 

Nov 6-12) of a citizen raising concerns about cycling 

trail construction in the Palisades Wilderness Study 

Area was probably supposed to be amusing, but it 

just made us sad. In the valley that gave rise to the 

Wilderness Society and proudly claims its heritage as 

the home of wilderness heroes Olaus and Mardy 

Murie, it is pathetic to see defense of wilderness labeled 

a "hissy fit." 

The Palisades is wild enough to host our wildest 

and rarest wildlife, big enough for hikers and skiers 

to get lost, remote enough to find solitude for days. 

For nearly 30 years the Palisades' magnificent 

wilderness qualities have been recognized and protected 

under the Wyoming Wilderness Act. Apparently 

Mr. Nichols has never ventured deep enough 

into the Palisades to get out of earshot of the trucks 

on the Pass. His "Hell no" to Wilderness designation 

for the Palisades is an uninformed, armchair opinion 

that sadly 'disses' this treasured area. It is likely a minority 

view. 

How are wild areas lost? Nibbling and gnawing by 

single-minded users under a complicit Forest Service, 

that's the recipe. It sure does not help to spread 

myths, as Mr. Nichols did, by repeating an invented 

claim of the prevalence of downhill cycling 30 years 

ago. Alarmingly, he also assumes the authority to tell 

bikers to "Go ahead and make your trails." 

Edward Abbey wrote, "The idea of wilderness 

needs no defense. It only needs more 

defenders." Evidently one must look elsewhere 

than the Planet for that.

Weather Almanac NOVEMBER 13-19 

THIS WEEK … 

Normal High 40°F 

Normal Low 17°F 

Record High in 1999 63°F 

Record Low in 1955 -27°F 

From meteorologist Jim Woodmencey 

Average monthly October precipitation = 1.17 inches • Record precipitation in October = 3.21 inches in 1972 

Average October Snowfall = 1 inch • Record October Snowfall = 18 inches (1946) 

Snowy and coldish followed by sunny and warmish this past week. Highs late last week had trouble making it to 40. On Sunday and Monday we 

were running a fever, as the thermometer in town climbed into the upper 50’s. Overnight low temps maintained an above normal position for 

this time of year, not getting colder than 20-degrees, with a couple mornings closer to 40, which would be more like waking up on an August 

morning. 

The Cool: Forty degrees for a morning low would be an oddity from now through the end of 2013. There are only a handful of days this late in 

the year that have had an overnight minimum temperature above 40-degrees. The record lows the rest of November and December are all 

below zero. Coldest record this week was 27 below on November 16, 1955. Back before global warming took over the world. Oddly though, 

the coldest November temperature we ever had, occurred on November 30, 2004, when it got down to 29 below zero. 

The Hot: This week’s almanac shows a high of 63-degrees back on November 13, 1999. The thermometer 

was partying like it was 1999, back in November of 1999 when we established eight new daily high temperature 

records that month. Just as global warming was coming into vogue. Oddly though, our all-time record high 

in November of 67-degrees was established back on November 3, 1921, and that still stands.

Jackson’s oldest bash 

endangered 

The ‘49er Ball has existed in some 

form or another for at least 115 years. 

We traced the first event back to the 

1890s, when it was held at the famous “Clubhouse” 

in downtown Jackson. It’s the longest 

running party to help alleviate cabin fever in the 

valley and it would be a shame to see it go the 

way of the KMTN Halloween party. 

The party’s current sponsor is the JH Lions 

Club. It took over the fundraiser in 1992. Word 

from the organization is it can no longer continue 

to host the event due to dwindling membership – 

the club is down to eight active members. 

Kiwanis also has had to call off its Follies tradition 

a few times in the past when faced with the 

same challenges and the Jackson Hole Jaycees 

announced last summer it could no longer sponsor 

the Fourth of July fireworks show. 

JH Lions Club treasurer Kurt Gries put out the 

plea to all county nonprofits for a new sponsor 

for the ‘49er Ball, which is scheduled for February 

22 at the Virginian. 

Interested in hosting the ball? Contact Kurt at

Secret SSS division exposed 

Here are three more S’s for you, Idaho 

County Sheriff’s Office: Shame on 

you, Suck it, and Suffer. 

Idaho County Sheriff Doug Giddings 

has had a hard time coming to 

grips with the wolf-lover crowd since 

2010, when his not-so-super-secret Department 

308 SSS Wolf Pack division was first exposed and 

questioned by the Spokesman-Review, Idaho 

Statesman, KTVB-TV and others. 

The supposed department within the Northern 

Idaho sheriff’s office based in Grangeville 

holds an annual fundraising raffle, which was 

promoted on a Facebook page that was recently 

taken down by the department after public outcry 

became too intense. We found a cached Web 

shot floating around from the 2011 wolf bash. 

The SSS can only be a reference to the common 

backcountry 

term Shoot, 

Shovel, and Shut 

up. It is advice 

given to sportsmen 

who, for 

whatever reason, 

find themselves 

with a smoking 

barrel and a very 

recently deceased 

carcass 

they don’t want 

By Jake Nichols 

anyone to know about. 

Giddings tried to explain away the SSS to the 

Lewiston Tribune as standing for safety, security 

and survival. Nice try, Giddings. Were we born 

last night? 

This “diss” is not necessarily for the SO’s callous 

practice of seemingly advocating poaching 

a federally protected species (as it was in 2010 

and early 2011). After all, feces runs downhill 

and Giddings takes his cue from Governor Butch 

Otter, who has made it quite clear he hates 

wolves. This “diss” is for lying to the public 

about what SSS stands for and not understanding 

the last S. 

What part of “Shut Up” is the ICSO not understanding 

when it creates a division dedicated to 

the age-old woodsmen’s practice, complete with 

annual fundraiser and social media utilization? 

Mapping Wyoming’s ‘tude 

Wyoming is kind of in no man’s 

land when it comes to America’s 

Mood Map. The interactive guide to 

the United States of Attitude was compiled 

by a multinational team of researchers led 

by psychologist and American expat Jason Rentfrow 

of the University of Cambridge in the U.K. 

We found the results published in the Science 

& Space section of Time and one thing stands 

out immediately: Wyoming. 

The color-coded map of the United States 

identifies three basic “psychological regions” 

with Wyoming straddling the line between two 

of them. We are either “friendly and conventional” 

or “relaxed and creative.” 

The latter designation is attributed to the predictably 

“crunchy” states to the west like Oregon, 

Washington, and California. We probably 

aren’t in that bunch. But can we be lumped in 

with Tennessee and Georgia? 

Friendly and conventional probably defines 

Wyomingites best. At least we’re not Temperamental 

and Uninhibited (New York, Massachusetts) 

or highly neurotic (West Virginia).

Proponents of peace 

Diplomats, scholars converge in Jackson Hole to address global 

issues for model UN conference. 

By Julie Kling 

Model UN grooms future leaders 

Installing solar panels on the football field and planting gardens at the Wind River Indian 

Reservation are just a few projects that have inspired local high school students who 

think globally to act locally. The projects are sponsored by InterConnections 21, a Wilson-based 

nonprofit also sponsoring the Teton County Model United Nations conference 

set to begin next week at Jackson Hole High School. 

The Model UN will include 250 students from 12 schools, bringing a diversity of opinions 

to the table and creating seven resolutions in three days. With guidance from a former 

U.S. ambassador and an Ivy League educated human rights lawyer, the eighth 

annual Teton County Model UN conference topics include whether the United States 

should intervene in Syria, the role of women in the developing world, and how communities 

are adjusting to climate change, among other issues. 

Grants from Community Foundation of Jackson Hole and the Wyoming Humanities 

Council enabled InterConnections 21 to bring in two special guests from the University 

of Wyoming this year: former U.S. ambassador to Chad, Marc Wall, and international law 

professor Noah Novogrodsky. 

“The speakers add a special dynamic that makes it seem real,” said Faith Hamlin, 18, a 

senior at Community School and this year’s secretary general. “These are real issues. I remember 

the first year I participated. I was a sophomore and there was a woman who ran 

a camp in India to educate girls and teach them personal hygiene. I just read about her 

school somewhere like The New York Times and how much it has grown. It was so cool.” 

Susie Rauch, founder and president of InterConnections 21, is especially excited to invite 

the public to the student sessions this year. In addition to a keynote by Novogrodsky 

at the Community School on Monday evening, Model UN students will assume the role 

of diplomats in caucuses that will meet Tuesday through Thursday at Jackson Hole High 

School. At the end of the conference prizes will be awarded for the most outstanding student 

and best position paper from each school. 

InterConnections 21, with the help of Hamlin and a number of parent volunteers, 

will have a help desk at the high school to guide the public to rooms where students 

will be discussing topics. They also will host a fundraising lunch with food from all over 

the world. 

“You are being challenged to speak up about what you’ve learned and show what you 

have learned,” Hamlin said. “I’m not even worried about the future when I see all these 

leaders. They are younger than me and speaking so well.” 

In addition to her involvement with the Model UN, Hamlin has traveled to the United 

Nations in New York and attended a UN student conference on human rights with InterConnections 

21. Her interest in international human rights was sparked when she 

saw issues like hunger, firsthand. 

“I spent five weeks in Peru after my freshman year,” Hamlin said. “To see all the problems 

and understand what’s really going on was eye-opening.” 

Since then she has been active at the local food cupboard and the local mission for 

homeless people. She also was instrumental in mentoring students from the Wind River 

Reservation and bringing four of them to the most recent Teton County Model UN conference. 

“Those kids bring a really special opinion and ideas to the table,” she said. “Model UN, 

like the classroom, is best when it is diverse.” 

Jackson Hole High School graduate Sarah Ross said Model UN came into her life at a 

time when she was most interested in being popular. “To be popular was to be disinterested,” 

she said. “So I reluctantly did model UN.” Participation in model UN is required 

for AP history students at the high school. 

But the Colorado College political science major said once she began doing research 

and digging into topics, she grew passionate about international relations. 

“It really helped my poise in public speaking and writing abilities,” Ross said. She recently 

was selected to be editor of The Cipher, her college’s monthly magazine. 

Ross agrees with Rauch that sometimes world issues are invisible in our seemingly 

privileged community. But in getting together to debate things like renewable energy 

sources, students have been able to effect changes like solar panels on a football field, a 

project created by Students for Sustainability. 

“We try to help the kids understand how interconnected the world is,” Rauch said. 

“We also work with the Wind River Reservation and other local groups. We have 

human rights issues in our backyard.” 

Negotiator Gershon Baskin 

It must be hard to negotiate over Skype with pixilated 

images blurring the computer screen, frozen frames 

and halted speech. But Gershon Baskin, author of The 

Negotiator, comes across with an imposing image and a 

confident voice. He said he uses Skype a lot. 

Baskin, co-chairman of Israel Palestine Center for Research 

and Information, will be in Jackson Thursday for 

a presentation at Dancers’ Workshop. He will sign 

copies of his book which chronicles the release of Israeli 

captive Gilad Schalit in exchange for 1,027 Palestinian 

prisoners, and answer questions about the Isreali- 

Palestinian peace process. 

The free event, sponsored by Jackson Hole Jewish 

Community Center, marks the beginning of a week of 

diplomatic talks. On Monday, Noah Novogrodsky, an 

International human rights lawyer and professor at the 

University of Wyoming, will make the case for intervention 

in Syria. 

Novogrodsky will be joined on Tuesday by United Nations 

Ambassador Marc Wall for a keynote address to 

250 high school kids at a three-day Teton County Model 

UN conference at Jackson Hole High School. All events 

are free and open to the public. 

In a recent column in the Jerusalem Post, Baskin advocates 

for a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine 

allowing open access to Jerusalem and all of the holy 

sites. “Israel and Palestine are only doing a favor to 

themselves by agreeing to negotiate,” he wrote. 

“We all know what the deal is,” Baskin said during an 

interview with Planet JH Weekly. “We need a brave and 

courageous leader to negotiate it. I hope [Israeli Prime 

Minister] Netanyahu surprises us by making a deal with 

the Palestinian Liberation Organization that will deliver 

us a peace agreement by the end of the year.” 

Baskin, who has back channels to the leaders of both 

governments on his speed dial, knows firsthand what it 

takes to negotiate a deal between them after his role in 

the release of Schalit. 

“The beauty of a secret back channel is its deniability 

of officials,” he said. “The interlocutor on my side was 

a Mossad officer. Mossad is the national intelligence 

agency in Israel whose director reports to Netanyahu. 

Schalit, an Israeli Defense Forces corporal, was captured 

in 2006 at Kerem Shalom crossing in Israel and 

held by Hamas as a hostage at an unknown location in 


Gershon Baskin

of his book, The Negotiator,

questions about the

diplomatic talks. 

the Gaza Strip for five years. He 

was 19 when he was seized. 

The Palestinian prisoners released 

in exchange for Schalit 

were allegedly responsible for 

569 deaths. Baskin later learned 

he had a strange connection to 

one of them. He had rented an 

office in East Jerusalem where 

one of the prisoners allegedly 

murdered a Jewish lady. The 

names of the prisoners and 

their crimes were discussed in 

detail as the terms of the exchange 

for Schalit progressed. 

“The trick of the deal is to 

mitigate risks,” he said. “There 

were great efforts taken to reduce 

damages as much as possible.” 

The most dangerous people 

on the Palestinian list were removed. 

Twenty-five prisoners 

were deported and half were 

sent to Gaza. Prisoners were put 

under strict probation regimes, 

some of which required daily 

visits with a probation officer. 

Baskin was not involved in selecting 

individual prisoners. 

“When it got down to the 

nitty-gritty it was a senior 

Egyptian intelligence officer in 

one room and the Israelis in another,” 

he said. 

More frustrating to Baskin 

than the concept of releasing 

1,027 Palestinians for one Jewish 

man was the fact that the two sides agreed to this deal right after Schalit’s abduction, yet took five 

years to execute it. While the mathematics of the exchange are astounding to many people, the concept 

that Israeli soldiers are protected like sons keeps Baskin faithful to his homeland, where he moved 

from Long Island. 

“It’s the kind of society that has a people’s army and the public knows that no one will be left behind. 

That’s what makes Israel unique,” Baskin said. 

Not so in the United States where he is working to help secure the release of Alan Gross, a Jewish 

man from Baltimore serving 15 years in a Cuban prison for trying to connect the Jewish Community 

to the Internet. He was working for USAID at the time of his arrest. 

“Israel released 1,000 and the U.S. won’t release anything for someone who was working for them,” 

Baskin said. 

His destiny to free Jewish prisoners was sealed after the first cousin of his wife was abducted and 

murdered. “I sort of made a promise that if ever again there was a situation where someone needed 

help, I would help,” Baskin said. 

During 35 years of working toward peace in the Middle East, Baskin has served as an advisor to 

Yitzak Rabin and awarded numerous peace prizes, including the Turkish Foreign Policy Institute Peace

Professor Noah Novogrodsky 

Noah Novogrodsky joined University of 

Wyoming Law School as an associate professor 

in 2009. He teaches international 

human rights, immigration law and civil 

procedure. Prior to that he amassed a long 

resume, including being a Robert L. Bernstein 

Fellow in International Human 

Rights, a founding director of the International 

Human Rights Clinic at the University 

of Toronto Faculty of Law, and a 

visiting professor at Georgetown University 

Law Center and the University of Connecticut 

School of Law. His scholarship is 

focused on the global HIV/AIDS pandemic 

and international criminal justice. 

With a background like this, Novogrodsky 

will undoubtedly be persuasive as he 

makes an argument to intervene in Syria. 

In a telephone interview he said he wants 

Model UN students to think about the use 

of diplomacy, but also consider the strong 

possibility that the United Nations gets 

blocked. 

“The greater danger is another Rwanda,” 

Novogrodsky said. “When a dictatorship is 

slaughtering its own people, there is cause 

for the international community to intervene.” 

Novogrodsky said educating girls is a huge takeaway from his humanitarian work in Africa and 

other developing nations. He continues to seek support from Wyoming donors to fund education at 

the middle school level for girls, citing a World Bank study that showed marked improvement in 

Mozambique, where girls were given an opportunity to stay in school an extra two years. 

“Violence against girls is an epidemic the world over and it is critical that we help create the next 

generation of women leaders in the developing world,” he said. “By taking advantage of education 

they can delay starting a family and empower civil society. They are more likely to learn English and 

participate in the global economy.” 

Noah Novogrodsky will make a case for U.S. intervention in Syria, 6:30 to 8 p.m., Monday, 

Nov. 18, at the JH Community School. He will also give a keynote address to 250 high 

school students during a three- day Teton County Model UN conference at Jackson Hole 

High School. All of these events are free and open to the public. 

Former Ambassador 

Marc Wall 

Former United States Ambassador to 

Chad, Marc Wall is the new senior visiting 

scholar in global studies at the University 

of Wyoming. Wall coordinated 

reconstruction programs in Iraq; managed 

trade initiatives with Japan, China 

and Taiwan and served in posts in Zimbabwe 

and Côte d’Ivoire. He directed the 

economic policy staff in the State Department’s 

Africa Bureau and was involved 

in negotiations that led to China’s 

and Taiwan’s accessions to the World 

Trade Organization (WTO). He is the foreign 

policy advisor to the U.S. Pacific 

Command. 

“There are three really interesting realtime 

diplomatic exercises playing out in 

Syria, Iran and Israel-Palestine,” Wall said. 

“I’d like to do what I can to shed light on 

the topics of interest to the students.” 

“A lot of what you accomplish as a diplomat 

is sort of personal,” he said. “Rarely do 

you kind of find the solution and all is 

happy after that. It is a process. You just do 

what you can to make changes for the better. 

It’s not like repairing a machine, it’s more like maintaining a garden, constantly pulling weeds 

up and preparing for next season.” 

In his class at University of Wyoming on diplomacy and international security, Wall is discussing 

challenges a rising China poses to the US. 

Former Ambassador Marc Wall will participate in a student roundtable discussion, 6:30 

p.m., Thursday, Nov. 14, at the Jackson Hole High School library.

Brett and Adam Kroger 

Ram tough 

The Billings Gazette ran a feelgood 

story about a father-son 

team that both drew an elusive 

bighorn sheep tag, and harvested 

monster rams on the same day. 

Jacksonite Brett Kroger and his 

12-year-old son, Adam, both drew 

permits for sheep with Adam 

scoring his on the first try, which 

is rare. 

Brett knocked his bighorn 

down on the final day of August 

outside of Meeteetse. By the time 

they packed the ram out it was 

getting late and Brett was willing 

to call it a day. But Adam, who was 

still recovering from major surgery 

on both his thighs, was raring 

to go back out and look for a different 

large ram they had seen 

earlier. 

Caught up in his son’s enthusiasm, 

Brett agreed and they soon 

came upon the ram again. Adam 

made the shot from 225 yards out. 

His dad took down his sheep with 

two shots from 125 yards. Both 

rams scored well with a 16-inch 

base and 35-inch horns for 

Adam’s, and a 15-inch base and 

39-inch curls for Brett. 

Adam also became one of the 

youngest in the state to bag a 

bighorn. 

BILLINGS GAZETTE 

Wyo. business renegades 

James Cash Penney put Kemmerer 

on the map with his flagship 

retail outlet that became the 

nationally known department 

store chain of its day. It all began 

with a $1,500 loan and the idea 

that customers willing to pay 

cash should be offered the lowest 

price possible. 

The original store went up on 

the corner of Kemmerer’s downtown 

Triangle in 1902. The store 

and eventual chain was first 

named Golden Rule. By 1929, a 

newer building was erected on 

the corner of Main and JC Penney 

Drive with the new store and nationwide 

chain taking the name of 

its founder.“By the first store’s 

25th anniversary in 1927, the 

company’s new moniker, ‘J.C. 

Penney,’ was a household name 

around America and boasted 892 

stores in the country and $151 

million in sales,” wrote Leah Todd 

of the Casper Star Tribune. 

Penney’s story is being recycled 

in newspapers across the state because 

JC was inducted into the 

newly established Wyoming Business 

Hall of Fame along with W. 

Edwards Deming, H.A. “Dave” 

True, Homer Scott Sr. and Clarene 

Law. 

Law, who owns and operates 

400 rooms worth of hotel in Jackson 

will be inducted as a Contemporary 

Award honoree – a 

category created to recognize 

post-1986 contributions to business 

excellence in Wyoming. 

Law came to Jackson in 1958, 

working as a bookkeeper for The 

Wort Hotel. She bought the Antler 

Inn in 1959 and has since gone on 

to become a mainstay in Jackson’s 

hospitality industry. 

Law intends to be on hand for a 

kickoff gala dinner at the Little 

America Hotel and Resort in 

Cheyenne on November 19. 

Cool cat 

It’s not exactly National Geographic 

but Guy Coheleach’s 

painting of a cheetah resting on a 

tree branch made the cover of 

Wealth Management digital. The 

work called Pensive sold for 

$19,890 at the recent Jackson Hole 

Art Auction on September 14. 

Coheleach is a well-respected 

wildlife artist known especially for 

his numerous adventures in 

Africa. 

Dog heaven 

First off, welcome to Jackson 

Hole, Arlene. And that goes for 

your little dog, too. 

Arlene asked Fresno Bee advice 

columnist Jack Haskins (“The Old 

Trainer”) column by Jack Haskins 

the other day about her Samoyed 

who showed a penchant for staying 

outdoors on cold nights.“My 

husband and I moved from Wichita, 

Kan., to Jackson, Wyo. Lola, 

our 5-year-old Samoyed, stayed 

outside in the winter in Wichita. It 

is much colder here and gets 

down to zero at night, but she still 

insists on staying out at night. 

Last night and I heard her howling 

... when I called her in she wanted 

right back out. We have a good 

doghouse, but can she take that 

kind of cold?” 

Haskins told Arlene not to 

worry, Samoyeds originated in the 

Arctic area of Siberia and, comparatively, 

a Jackson Hole winter 

would be “child’s play” for her.

MusicBox 

By Aaron Davis 

Grieves and Sweatshop Union team up for an all-ages show at Pink Garter Theatre. 

From stabbing himself in the hand to a 

tragic fire, and from being a one-man band 

to DJ sets to live instrumentation, hip-hop 

artist Grieves has pushed through his share 

of experiences and adversity. He talks about 

staying positive despite hardship, and the 

importance of all-ages shows, like the one 

he headlines Saturday at the Pink Garter. 

Jackson Hole Weekly: What’s your stage 

setup like for this Back on My Grizzly tour? 

Grieves: This time around I’m kind of 

doing the dance thing. I’ve done the DJ 

thing, I’ve done the one-man band thing 

and now I just kind of want to open it up 

Grieves gets Grizzly with 

Sweatshop Union 

more because what goes into creating 

music in the studio is so much more. I’ve 

been using samples for five years, so everything’s 

been played in the studio so I 

wanted to represent that on stage. I’ve got 

keys and guitars on stage and I still make 

the drums and the bass in the tracks via Appleton. 

Cuz that’s what I love about hip-hop 

so much is that glorified gigantic bass with 

the big drums, so I’m keeping those sonics. 

JHW: I read on your Web site that it had 

“been a rough summer getting back on my 

feet after the fire.” What happened? 

Grieves: We spent a lot of last year gearing 

up to … I was writing this new record 

and we were getting new places with our 

business in general and we wanted to take 

that next step, so we ended up getting our 

own work space with offices, a merch warehouse, 

and a studio. About two days from 

being done with construction, it burnt to 

the ground. So we lost close to $20,000 in 

merch, something like that. A lot of gear was 

messed up. Everything we built was gone. 

We took a significant loss. That stuff happens. 

I could let it conquer me, or I can 

learn from it. 

JHW: Well, it seems that many of your 

lyrics serve as somewhat of a musical therapy 

for you … working through hard times 

with a positive outlook. Would you agree? 

Grieves: I totally would [agree]. That’s all 


it’s really every been for me. 

JHW: Do you have some new tunes in the works 

since 2011’s Together/Apart? 

Grieves: Yes, I do and we’re incorporating them 

in. It took a long time to teach them to the band 

… close to a year. Now, with a new record coming 

to completion, I’ve never done these songs [live] 

so it’s fun to see these boys step up and incorporate 

how they feel things should go and it’s really 

opened up the set. 

JHW: It’s cool that the show here in JH is all ages. 

That’s not usually the norm at the Pink Garter 

Theatre. Is that something that you push for and 

what’s the importance of doing so? 

Grieves: Our fan base is all walks of life, all ages. 

I feel like if we’re going to spend the time to leave 

our homes, wives and kids to go out on the road, 

why should we limit it? I want to do it right. Last 

time we played in Jackson, there were kids getting 

detention for handing out fliers in school! I know 

those kids want to come to the show. It doesn’t 

seem fair to not let them come, so I rallied pretty 

hard with my agent and manager. They said “no.” 

I had given up on it, and a couple of weeks later it 

got pushed to all ages. 

JHW: Anything else stand out in your memory 

about your previous shows in Jackson? 

Grieves: Last time I was in Jackson, I put a knife 

through my hand on accident. We had flown from 

Mexico that morning and landed in Jackson. I was 

helping my tour manager take down the merch setup. 

I was popping off zip ties with a knife and shoved the 

knife almost completely through my hand, cutting it 

from the thumb bone down to my wrist. I had to do 

the rest of the tour with a dead hand because I had 

cut through the nerves. It was a hot mess. 

JHW: If you were not a hip-hop artist, what else 

would you be doing? 

Grieves: For a long time I wanted to be a kindergarten 

teacher. That’s what I went to school for. 

But at the same time, I don’t know if I would have 

ever followed through with it because I have so 

many disagreements with how kids are supposed 

to be taught. I don’t think there’s a way that kids 

are supposed to be taught … I think if you can 

reach them, you should reach them. 

Grieves with Sweatshop Union, 9 p.m., Saturday 

at Pink Garter Theatre. $13 advance, $15 

day-of-show at The Rose, Pinky G’s and 

PinkGarterTheatre.com. A free meet and greet 

happens just before doors open (8 p.m.) at The

By Meg Daly 

Troxler’s heroines 

haunt library 

What do Anna Karenina, 

Emma Woodhouse, Daisy 

Buchanan, Jane Eyre and 

Scheherazade have in common? 

They are all young heroines of 

classic literature. And they are 

characters who haunt the mind 

of artist Shannon Troxler, whose 

exhibit, Missing Pages: A Literary 

Series, hangs at Teton County Library 

gallery through December. 

Troxler’s encaustics feature an 

array of favorite characters and 

moments from the artist’s reading 

list. For this review I want to 

focus on the female characters. 

All the paintings are rich and 

dare I say textural, but it was the 

young heroines who most captured 

my attention. 

All but one of the eleven 12- 

by-18-inch portraits incorporates 

torn pages from the character’s 

novel. Two of the portraits are 

male characters. The other nine 

are female and only one of those 

has a non-book background, as 

Daisy Buchanan emerges from a 

grid of dollar bills. The encaustic 

process involves pigmented wax 

applied in layers and painted or 

shaped. On the surface, Troxler 

also scratches thin lines, often in 

gold, to render character-specific 

motifs like daisies. 

Daisy may be fresh in your 

mind from the recent Hollywood 

blockbuster The Great Gatsby. 

But before Carey Mulligan’s 

glam, Daisy was a spoiled, sheltered 

resident of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 

imagination. Troxler’s Daisy 

appears pretty and entitled but 

also a tad naive. Troxler said she 

thinks Daisy is partly a victim of 

Gatsby’s machinations.“Most of 

these women characters were 

kind of trapped,” she said. 

Troxler’s choice of media is 

ideal for exploring the character’s 

feelings of being trapped 

while simultaneously revealing 

a paradox. Though iconic literary 

heroines may have been 

confined by their era and station 

in life, and indeed by the 

boundaries of their written stories, 

they also live beyond their 

pages in the minds of readers, 

quite independent of the authors’ 

intent. 

Troxler’s characters rise from 

the page. The edges of the portraits 

are left misty and loose. In 

Jane Eyre’s case, it’s difficult to 

discern whether Jane is being engulfed 

in flames or emerging 

from them. The gray mist surrounding 

Anna Karenina blends 

with her fur hat and collar, suggesting 

the atmosphere of the 

train station where she will eventually 

seek her own demise. 

Troxler was clever in her 

choice of color. Anna Karenina’s 

gray mist and hat echo her eye 

color. Gray eyes are symbols of 

wisdom, and this is one way 

Troxler exquisitely captures 

Anna’s plight. Wiser because of 

her love affair, Anna sees that “if 

it is true that there are as many 

minds as there are heads, then 

there are as many kinds of love 

as there are hearts.” Yet restrained 

by convention, she has 

nowhere to go with this wisdom. 

“You understood the 

choices Anna made,” Troxler 

said. “She wasn’t fulfilled. In 

another era she would have 

HighArt 

Anna Karenina depicted in Train Tracks by Shannon Troxler. 

gotten a divorce.” 

Troxler doesn’t shy from female 

sensuality and this is a 

boon to these characters, several 

of who did not get to experience 

outright sex in their novels. Troxler’s 

women have a certain 

“knowing” in their eyes and 

clearly they’ve all reached sexual 

maturity. Yet it is Lucy Westenra 

who exudes full on lust in Troxler’s 

rendering. This is the most 

delicious of the paintings, where 

the smooth, buttery surface of 

the wax is ideal for Lucy’s rosebud 

lips and desirous gaze. 

Troxler hopes the series sparks 

dialogue. “These are strong 

women characters who sometimes 

suffer because of choices 

they made.”

Gershon Baskin, Ph.D., was the initiator and the person 

responsible for the secret back channel between Israel 

and the Hamas that successfully negotiated the release 

of Israeli abducted soldier Gilad Schalit. He was the Israeli 

Co-Director and founder of the Israel/Palestine Center 

for Research and Information (IPCRI) - a joint Israeli - 

Palestinian public policy think and ‘do’ - tank located in 

Jerusalem. 

During the Premiership of the late Yitzhak Rabin, he 

served as an advisor on the Israeli-Palestinian peace 

process to a secret team of intelligence officers established 

by Mr. Rabin. Dr. Baskin was a member of the 

Jerusalem Experts Committee established by the Israeli 

Prime Minister's Office during the Final Status Negotiations 

in 2000-2001. He has been awarded the Histadrut 

Prize for Peace in 1996, the Turkish Foreign Policy Institute

DUDe 

WHere’s 

my Car? 

The Town of Jackson’s 

overnight parking ban 

has gone into effect. 

So, if you want to void 

all kinds of hassles, 

listen up! 

PARKING 

RESTRICTIONS 

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 Ron’s Towing at 

733-TOWS (8697). Overnight parking is allowed 

in the public parking structure at W. Simpson Avenue 

and S. Millward Street but not on other town parking lots. 

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.
