34 AROUND ASPEN

Writer Michael Appelgate spent more than two days with war veterans, who explained that recovery from war never ends.

It’s easy being green … on St. Patrick’s Day, as contributing editor Mary Eshbaugh Hayes reports.

EDITOR’S NOTE

bubbling over | Last week, Steamboat Ski Area’s attorneys

sent a letter to a website called Unofficial Networks in California for titling a video “Champagne Powder.” To Unofficial Networks, a loose band of ski junkies who are also media types, their post about conditions at Squaw was business as usual. To Steamboat, it violated a trademark the resort uses on billboards and advertisements because “champagne” was describing another mountain’s snow.

Timothy Konrad, Because light snow who manages is a rarity on the West Unofficial Networks, Coast (you won’t be understood reading about a resort Steamboat’s point but out there trademarking also called it “bullshit,” “Sierra Cement”), adding, “If something Steamboat could have big came up, they reacted better by simply RYAN SLABAUGH would have to say they promoting Colorado fought the little stuff, as the place where too. But c’mon.” “champagne powder” was invented.

Konrad, message to California skiers that being more of the religious sort the corporations have taken over of skier, instead was kind and our mountains — even controlling reposted the title as “___________ how we describe “powder” — and __ Powder,” which as far as we can gave fodder to those who find tell is trademark-free and pretty opportunity in our ski areas’ clever. declining reputations.

manage our mountains and towns, and act as caretakers for skiing’s soul. And like all mountain folk, they do not take kindly to going high on the mountain, having an epic day of skiing fresh snow and then being edited by lawyers about how to describe what they just experienced.

Steamboat’s actions were ultimately harmless, but they also went against the very spirit of skiing and what we are all collectively trying to sell — the experience — which is why I chose to write about it. Before penning another letter complaining about the use of “champagne powder,” perhaps Steamboat’s attorneys should pause, take a lift ride with a season-pass holder, remember how to treat a customer and then tell us what words come to mind.

We’re just guessing, but they won’t be “cease and desist.” rslabaugh@aspentimes.com.

‘Hunger Games’: Cinematic dud or wailing appeal for salvation?

YOU HAVE TO wonder why it is that American movie audiences love dystopian, failed-state movies that portray this country as a place where everything went wrong at some point and we end up as a plutocracy run by imbeciles, bullies and power-mad psychotics.

The latest entrant into this odd, disquieting genre is “The Hunger Games,” based on the first volume of a trilogy of young-adult books by author Suzanne Collins.

It features a nation gone completely mad, in which the wealthy elite create a gladiatorial fight to the death among teenage “tributes,” youths selected from a dozen “districts” that make up what is left of the United States of America.

Like other gladiatorial fantasies depicted in pop culture, it is a regular event, put on annually for the enjoyment of the lazy, febrile rulers in the capital who need bloody entertainment to relieve the boredom of their humdrum, luxury-laden lives.

I must admit, before going on, that I have not read the trilogy nor seen the movie, though I guess I’ll do both just to see what all the fuss is about.

But I also should note that I’ve seen enough precursors of this kind of thing that I feel as if every new example is an exercise in déjà vu all over again.

An early example, in my cinematic experience, was a remarkably bad movie titled “Wild in the Streets.” Released in 1968, a year of iconic associations in this nation, it centered on the granting of the electoral franchise to anyone 15 or older and subsequently lowering to 14 the age at which one can run for national office.

The film is a hodgepodge of political philosophies and dogma, and those seeing it for the first time today would undoubtedly find it simply hilarious and nothing more.

But in 1968 it was heady stuff, particularly for impressionable teenagers wondering how they would ever live through the hypocrisy and evil surrounding us on all sides.

It was, after all, the year that gave us both the Summer of Love in San Francisco and the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther

King Jr. To describe our national mood at the time as deeply confused would be putting it mildly.

But the confusion, as anyone with eyes and a brain can see, has not abated in the years since “Wild in the Streets.”

And that fact is brought glaringly into focus every now and then by one offering or another from that arbiter of our national conscience, Hollywood.

“The Hunger Games” is one such offering.

It is wildly popular, having topped the weekend box-office sweepstakes with 61 million in its second week of release.

Granted, the film’s target audience, teenagers, have been known to flock to theaters in droves over just about anything that promises relief from their prosaic lives and confirmation of their important role in the world.

The more fantastic the content, the better, as shown in the ongoing enthusiasm for stories having to do with vampires, alienation and young lust.

This one is a little different, dealing as it does with themes that do not bode well for our current realities.

Consider the ingredients of this recipe for our future: a ruling class completely out of touch with the sufferings of the masses, an entertainment vehicle that calls for competitive mayhem and death, and a promise that the winner will bring back tons of goodies for his or her home district that does nothing to alleviate the suffering but everything for keeping the population distracted and calm.

It’s all hyperbole, to be sure, but underneath there is a tone of desperation, a wailing appeal for a more compassionate, more honest way of running our country that cannot be ignored.

And according to some, it is an abysmal film, erratic and flawed enough to be considered unwatchable.

But maybe those critics simply don’t get the underlying fear and frustration and deliberately try to discount the message for the rest of us.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

SEEN, HEARD & DONE

JEERS | To the language being used to discuss the

CHEERS&JEERS

“negotiations” going on about drilling on Thompson Divide near Carbondale. Politicians like U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet have delayed the BLM to learn more but continue to talk about Thompson Divide being on the “epicenter” of the land-use debate in the country.

Call us cynical, but we’ve heard that before. We’d rather hear that Thompson Divide is the “epicenter” of wilderness areas and should not be touched.

CHEERS | To the individuals profiled in this week’s cover story for sharing their stories with us — not to mention, the work they did to fight for our country.

Wars are divisive, and always will be, but that does not have to translate into how we treat our veterans.

From what they told us, things have gotten better since Vietnam. While this proves we are learning from our mistakes, there is still a lot of work to be done, and our local volunteers who support these programs — especially those who refuse all acknowledgements — should feel proud to be part of that work.

JEERS | To the confirmation of our fears that gas It wasn’t pretty, but cheers to Gunnison’s Brian Smith and Brian Wickenhauser for winning the Grand Traverse and navigating the obstacles — er, ponds — along the way.

companies are buying up water in Colorado at a very fast rate. Front Range farmers were outbid last week for water to grow crops by oil and gas drillers, and the drilling industry has already passed the ski industry for water usage in the state. It’s time to put the pressure on them to join the club of longtime Colorado industries and demand they talk about water conservation as a priority … just as much as drilling.

BUZZ WORTHY ASPEN

CITY COUNCIL LIMITS BUILDING HEIGHTS In a move likely to send waves through the local real estate and development community, the Aspen City Council voted 3-1 on April 2 to limit building heights of future projects in the downtown area to 28 feet.

Mayor Mick Ireland proposed the new limit during a scheduled special meeting to address the city’s landuse code. The limit temporarily bars three-story projects until the council decides on potential exceptions such as new lodging facilities. Ireland said he worked all weekend on amendments that would supplant the Community Development Department’s ordinance that proposed a 4-foot reduction in building heights — from 42 to 38 feet

in the Commercial Core District and from 40 feet to 36 feet in the adjacent Commercial, or C-1, District.

Ireland’s action — which seeks to reverse the heart of so-called “infill” regulations that were designed a decade ago to stimulate growth in the city — was supported by Councilmen Torre and Steve Skadron. Derek Johnson voted against it, while Adam Frisch was absent.

MARCH SNOWFALL SETS NEW LOW March set the sort of snowfall record in Aspen that locals would probably just as soon forget. A mere 6.09 inches of snow fell at the city’s water treatment plant during the month — a record low and well below the average for March snowfall, which is 26.98 inches at the plant.

STAY IN THE KNOW — CATCH UP ON RECENT NEWS & LOCAL EVENTS Total precipitation for the month, measured as water, was also well below average, but the 0.55 inches recorded in March was just shy of a record low, according to the water plant. The average for the month is 2.33 inches. The plant is located at an elevation of 8,161 feet. Of March’s total snowfall, virtually all of it — 6 inches — fell on March 1 and 2.

Last year, the plant recorded 37.1 inches of snowfall in March, an above-average sum, but well below the snowiest March on record.

In 1965, 76.5 inches of snow fell, according to the plant’s historical data. The records go back to 1934.

None of the closings will be moved up, said Skico spokesman Jeff Hanle.

“The plan is to stick to the plan,” he said.

Buttermilk will close April 8.

Aspen Mountain and Snowmass are scheduled to close April 15. Aspen Highlands is scheduled to stay open through April 22.

Other ski areas have encountered trouble keeping terrain open.

Steamboat Ski Area closed 77 trails Monday, Steamboat Today reported.

About 33 percent of its terrain is open.

Vail Mountain closed its Back Bowls and Blue Sky Basin on April 1, reducing the open terrain to 1,476 acres, or 28 percent of the 5,289 acres.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

GUEST OPINION COLUMN

by LAURA PRITCHETT of WRITERS ON THE RANGE

I don’t love my dog THERE’S A DEAD FAWN outside my front door. The sweet young body is completely covered in tall grass, which means this is a mountain lion kill, which means that the mountain lion responsible is going to come back for the next few mornings and nights to finish eating. I must admit that, although I’m reflexively sorry about the fawn, I’m exceedingly impressed: The lion has done a fabulous job of piling grass all over the creature. I would never have noticed it except that my dog was sniffing and whining and making an urgent noise that sounds exactly like something Chewbacca would say.

When I called Colorado Parks and Wildlife to report the dead fawn, braced with the sure knowledge that they would come out and remove it, the man told me to let it be. It was better for the mountain lion to eat the rest of the fawn, he explained, than kill someone’s cow.

“Um,” I said. “But it’s right outside my door. I have young children. I have a dog.” I paused and waited for

him to change his mind.

Instead, he just sighed. Then he clarified his response: “Well, I’m sure you’ve warned your kids about mountain lions, and I assume you’ve trained and fenced your dog.”

Indeed, I had. Or at least, I thought so.

It is my belief that passion nearly always trumps rules. That is why people fall in love in ways that make no sense. That is why kids ditch school. That is why I end up hiking rather than working. And that is why dogs contort their bodies to scramble out of a wellfortified fence to go roll in dead deer carcasses whenever possible.

After the first good roll, I told my dog, “We’re going to get through this together.” I lathered her up with dish soap and sprayed her with the hose, all the while hanging on to her collar despite the ripping of tendons in my shoulder socket — though she’s still young, she already weighs about as much as I do. I murmured to her, as a dog whisperer might, about cause and effect. Roll in dead

deer, get a bath in cold water. See the connection?

She did not see the connection.

Despite the fact that I fixed the fence, and despite the fact that she hates baths, she was out 10 minutes later, rolling in dead deer. Then she showed up at my door, smiling, wagging, oblivious, a fawn leg dangling from her mouth, wanting to be let in. And no wonder: It was starting to snow.

So out we went again, back outside to the hose, both of us freezing. Then I felt bad and brought her in, and while she was safely inside, I threw the fawn leg as far as I could into the willows lining the ditch bank. I gave her another towel dry, a bone and another conversation about staying in the yard. In return, I got a sore back and frozen shoes.

These past few nights, the mountain lion has indeed returned to feast. In the morning, I check the progress: more deer gone, scattered in various directions. Hurry it up, I mutter. Eat your damn dinner.

I make sure my kids and dog are inside before dusk and after dawn, and even in daylight, I watch them from the windows.

My dog has received 12 baths in the past four days — one for every time she has callously pushed over my children, jumped very high fences and clawed her way through wire for the distinct privilege of chewing on fawn stomach. My shoes are permanently wet and yet have simultaneously frozen into a strange and uncomfortable shape resembling prehistoric croissants. I have given her baths inside, I have given her baths outside, and I have truly and sincerely done everything I can to keep her in our yard. And yet, the dog’s hide is scratched and bloody from wire; one nail is broken and bleeding from digging.

fence had been attended to, and I felt confident that my sweet-smelling dog would remain sweet-smelling and obedient. I got up from typing at my computer, and what did I see? The dog sitting in her spot, tail thumping happily, chewing on a rotting remnant of deer.

A noise — yes, much like Chewbacca — issued forth from somewhere deep inside me. I startled the dog, who dropped the fawn part and jumped on me to check that I was OK. Unsurprisingly, she smelled like rotten deer flesh; she had bits of fascia in her teeth.

And that is when I discovered a very old fact but one that is new to me: Temporary madness can allow for all kinds of normally impossible feats. I rushed out of the house, hollering. I threw every rotting half-chewed chunk of deer I could find, piece by disgusting piece, big

and small, intestinal and bone, identifiable and not, over the ditch and over a fence and into a nearby horse pasture, which is not owned by me. Deer parts are heavy, and there are many of them. I was gasping at the end, my arm was sore, and I was literally speaking what sounded like Chewbaccan, although English words occasionally emerged — something about stupid mountain lion, fishand-game, fawn, nature, dog, me, universe, I hate you all.

Then I came inside, washed my hands and made myself a nice cup of hot tea.

The dog, freshly bathed, is sleeping now at my feet, head resting on one foot so I cannot get up. It’s possible that I still like my dog, now that I’ve had a breather. That doesn’t mean I love her, not yet. I do like the fact that she believes that rules are meant to be acknowledged and then ignored. Her tail wags in her sleep, she wakes, she rolls so that her tummy is facing me. She wants a tummy rub. I scowl at her, but I lean over and scratch.

CLASSIC ASPEN

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Snow usually complicates Aspen’s Easter egg hunts, but not as much this year.

HIGH-ELEVATION EASTER we may be singing “nearer my God to Thee,” but high-altitude

Easters require miracles to match the spring-like settings of lower elevations. Easter in Aspen fluctuates between a continuation of winter and the rare signs of spring. City parks and backyards can still be covered with piles of melting snow, and snow melt reveals canine deposits. Green grass, mayflowers and aspen leaves remain only wishful thoughts.

Easter may signal the traditional closing day of the ski season, but not the end of snowfall. Spring skiing could continue easily for another month, especially after those April and early May storms that sprinkle rain in Basalt and leave inches of wet snow on Aspen Mountain. However, finances determine the closing of the lifts. In their home towns, erstwhile skiers may now revel in spring; surfing at sunny beaches, golfing their way through through green grass, and bicycling alongside blossoming flowerbeds. Skiing no longer offers winter’s allure.

kindergarteners: hard-boiling eggs and hiding them, and acquiring a golden (chocolate) egg.

If a stormy day pushed the hunt into the small classroom (one of

campus cabins), the only problem was that too many kindergarteners and too many onlookers crowded the space. The kindergarten class would play outside at recess while the seniors hid the eggs in the room with a more predictable outcome than in sunny weather when the seniors hid the eggs outside.

Outdoor hunts provided more tempting opportunities for seniors, full of mischief and surprises, close to graduation. One overambitious class overdid the number of eggs and took their biology lessons on nature’s camouflage too seriously. Many eggs were so cleverly hidden that after a long hunt filled kindergarteners’ baskets to overflowing, too many tiny foilcovered chocolate eggs had been ingested, and the golden egg had earned the finder a special prize, the hunt was called off. Seniors did not remember all of their hiding places, nor was there an egg count to verify how many eggs had not been found.

Many weeks later, the inevitable thaw uncovered hidden treasure.

Egg dye colored the snow, suggesting buried remains. Hardboiled eggs, frozen for some time, cracked — allowing that favorite sulfuric odor to escape, found by following your nose. As I recall, a few of the stink bombs lasted until graduation day.

“A HOUSE ON WHEELS” read a headline for the Aspen Daily Chronicle on Thursday, May 01, 1890. “The reporter yesterday saw a picture that is indigenous to the far West. House moving just now is the peculiar occupation of many people and a stranger in our midst would think we are a sort of nomadic race. It is nothing unusual for a man to load his cottage on to wheels and cart it off to some more desirable locality. It was such a migration that the reporter witnessed yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Jones own a little frame dwelling twelve by twenty feet. They possessed no real estate and the house, the past winter has stood on railroad ground. With the coming of spring, they concluded to move their domicile onto a lot in Williams addition. The intervening country was a little undulating and there was a river, a railroad and other obstacles to surmount, but this did not daunt them in the undertaking. Frost Brothers were given the contract and yesterday began the job.”

COCKTAIL: VIRGIN SUNRISE I watched a very interesting movie last week called “Zeitgeist,” which references the sun as it relates to the astronomical/astrological origins of the Judeo-Christian theology. Anyway, it made me take a long look at religion and the origin of religion, especially as we have Passover and Easter both falling this weekend. In the spirit of all this, I thought it would be appropriate for me to write about a “virgin” cocktail. Have you ever had a Virgin Sunrise? I liked it because it was something the whole family could enjoy, but if you are not one for feeling holy, add some tequila to it and make it a Tequila Sunrise. Either way, Mazel Tov!

WORDS to DRINK BY

by KELLY J. HAYES

A TASTE OF VAIL TIME FOR A CULINARY ROAD TRIP? Well, may I recommend a short but scenic trip through Glenwood Canyon this weekend to the Taste of Vail? The premier springtime food and wine extravaganza in the Rockies, TOV kicks it up a notch this afternoon at 3 p.m. with an Après Ski Lamb Cook-off and party that turns the downtown core of the Vail Village into the bestsmelling block in all of KELLY J. America.

HAYES While there is no denying the incredible legacy of the Aspen Food & Wine Classic and its impact on the culinary tourism industry, it is not the only food and wine event in Colorado that’s a “got to be there.” For more than 20 years. the Vail Valley has taken advantage of the spring snow to host TOV. Again, this year the event will be offering seminars, featured wine tastings, wine dinners and communal gatherings. It’s a fun and informative weekend that brings some the best winemakers to the Rockies for a downhill good time.

Smaller, and a bit lower key than our June Festival, the real attraction of TOV is that it provides a great final hit of skiing for visitors as well as the winemakers who are just about to get busy with the next vintage.

While Aspen brings in top chefs and consumers purchase a big ticket, good for the entire weekend, TOV focuses more on marrying local chefs from their collection of first class restaurants with winemakers.

And, while full event passes are available for purchase, if you don’t want to buy “all in,” individual events are for sale on an a la carte basis. That means you can attend, say, the Mountain Top picnic, without having to pony up for the Grand Tasting.

The kick-off event this afternoon is a smoke fest featuring one this states treasures, Colorado Lamb, in all of its various permutations. The Colorado Lamb Board provides selected chefs with great product and the chefs

P H OTO S C O U RT E S Y TA S T E O F VA I L

compete for a top spot in the friendly and tasty competition. This year the lamb dishes will be paired with wines in an après ski tasting themed “Life Beyond Chardonnay, Cabernet and Merlot.” Look for some Pinot, Shiraz and Zin to pair with the sweet meat.

The signature event of the TOV takes place April 6, a Good Friday this year, on Vail Mountain. At the top of the Lionshead gondola, snowcats

ferry hungry and thirsty skiers who have had a full morning playing in the snow to a “snow-fort” with a view to the west of the entire Vail Valley. The scene is exquisite as the crowd goes from station to station around the outskirts of the fortress sampling fare from local restaurants — BBQ, fish tacos, elk, lamb.

In the center of the fort is a tent full of winemakers, mostly from California. In the past I have had

the opportunity to sit in the sun and the snow tasting great wines with the likes of Josh Jensen, the Hall of Fame winemaker from Calera, Doug Margrum from Santa Barbara and Klinker Brick’s Steve Felten. All communal tastings have a good vibe, but there is something special about a tasting at 10,000 feet. Yes, the altitude adds to the buzz. Tickets (135) for the picnic sell out so be sure to check it

out before you go.

Another great event unique to TOV is their “Speed Dating” wine tasting.

Six tables are set and six wines are poured for a dozen people at each.

Then, rather than segregate the six winemakers on a dais, a winemaker is seated at each table for 12 minutes discussing their wine. At the close of each 12-minute period a bell rings, the winemaker gets up and moves to the next table. This way each of the six

tables hosts all six of the winemakers.

Simple. But the process makes these tastings amongst the most enjoyable I have ever attended. The group dynamics change dramatically for both the winemakers and the tasters. Both are forced, no, allowed, to personally engage with each other. If not exactly on a one-to-one basis, then pretty darn close.

And about that aforementioned

Grand Tasting. The Saturday night event is Vail bacchanalia at its best.

The Marriott in Lionshead opens its ballroom to all of the participating chefs and winemakers who set up shop and serve and pour until everyone is beyond full.

While it is structured the same way as the tasting tents are for Aspen’s festival, the big difference is the amount of food that is available. The chefs go all out to provide bite-sized tastes and small plates that are perfect for selecting individual wines to taste with. This is another event that seems to sell out yearly, and for good reason.

Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-tobe-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and a black Lab named Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@wineink.com.

HOWARD LEVY BREAKS BACK IN

THE FLECKTONES ORIGINAL REJOINS THE LINEUP IN ADVANCE OF THEIR SHOW

Pianist and harmonicist Howard Levy, an original member of the Flecktones, returned to the group in 2010 after a 17-year absence.

BÉLA FLECK & THE FLECKTONES proved to be too much for Howard Levy. After helping found the quartet in the late ’80s, Levy became overwhelmed by the growing popularity of the group and the ambitious touring itinerary. In 1992, after recording three landmark albums with the group and playing hundreds of concerts, Levy bowed out at the end of 1992.

“After doing it about four years, the touring schedule got so heavy,” Levy said. “I had little kids at the time. Plus, Béla and the rest of the Flecktones lives in Nashville, and I was in Chicago. I said, ‘Hey, if we could do

Apr il 5-11, 2012

it half as much, I could do this.’ But there was no halfway. I couldn’t do it half-time.”

That part is easy to understand.

Levy, who is 60, was several years older than his fellow Flecktones — brothers Victor and Roy “Future Man” Wooten and bandleader Béla Fleck. The Flecktones were trying to make a name for themselves and, as an instrumental combo, fighting fairly long odds to do so. Touring relentlessly and recording often — they made four albums in their first four years, the final one without Levy — seemed the only way to go. Living in a different region of the country

and starting up a family didn’t seem to mix with being a Flecktone.

Here’s the part that’s slightly harder to grasp: The Flecktones were also not quite enough for Levy. Surrounding Levy were three absurdly talented players who reeked of creative ambition. Fleck was in the early stages of dramatically reinventing the possibilities of his instrument, the banjo. Future Man had actually invented an instrument — the synthaxe drumitar, which is shaped more or less like a guitar but instead of strings has finger pads that are hooked up to a stack of percussion synthesizers. Victor Wooten was

simply playing electric bass as well as anyone had; he would go on to be named bass player of the year by Bass Player magazine three years running.

Beyond the talent, the Flecktones aimed to break new musical ground.

The quartet, with Levy on piano and harmonica, mixed elements of bluegrass, funk, jazz and classical for a fusion that opened up new territory and raised the bar on virtuosity and innovation. Still, Levy sought room to do more.

“It gave me no chance to do anything else,” Levy said of the

with the Flecktones. On occasion, he would sit in with the group he cofounded. In 2009, Jeff Coffin, who had joined the Flecktones as a saxophonist in 1998, became a member of the Dave Matthews Band and soon after left the Flecktones. Down a musician, the Flecktones reached out to Levy and invited him to do a three-week tour at the end of 2009.

“I thought, ‘You know, I could do that. It has a beginning and an end,’” Levy said. “Whatever my feelings were from playing 130 times a year — that wasn’t there. The old excitement

Flecktones’ early years as die-hard performers. “I needed variety. I needed a break.”

After leaving the Flecktones, Levy took full advantage of his freedom. He composed a concerto, the first for diatonic harmonica and orchestra, that he recorded with the Czech National Orchestra; made three albums with Trio Globo, a combo with cello and percussion; and collaborated with dance companies, a Lebanese oud player, and with his girlfriend, Fix Fehling, a violinist with the Chicago Symphony. He recorded on albums

by Kenny Loggins, Dolly Parton, Donald Fagen, the Subdudes and many more; the count of albums Levy has contributed to tops 100 and touches on jazz, classical, country and Latin styles. He started an online harmonica school and a record label, and he wrote a book.

And he kept up his relationship

was there immediately.”

So was the old magic. Fleck himself was enthused about reforming the original quartet.

“The music we made with Howard was the seminal Flecktones stuff.

The truth is, the band was designed with him in mind,” Fleck said in an interview with The Aspen Times in 2010. The three-week tour begat 90 Flecktones shows last year as well as the 2011 album “Rocket Science” and the track “Life in Eleven,” co-written

by Levy and Fleck, which earned a Grammy for best instrumental composition.

And the Flecktones, with Levy on board, continue on. While answering questions for this story, Levy was at the Steinway at the Sunset Center Theatre in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif., warming up the piano and his fingers for a gig that night. It is one of 50 Flecktones dates scheduled for this year; the group also plays the

Wheeler Opera House on April 5.

Levy was born in New York City to a father who sang opera and Broadway and a mother who played cello. He began playing piano at 8 and spent four years at the Manhattan School of Music. He then got into bands — rock, jazz, blues — one of which featured a drummer who doubled on harmonica.

“I thought, ‘If he could learn it, I could learn it,’” he said. In fact, Levy struggled on the instrument for six months before having a breakthrough. “I started getting really good really quickly.”

As a freshman at Northwestern University, Levy went through a musical explosion, picking up saxophone, flute, mandolin and more and digging into every style of foreign music he could get his ears on. During this period, he made the discovery that the harmonica was an incomplete instrument: It was missing a lot of notes. Rather than bow to those limitations, he developed a technique called overblowing that made the harmonica “pop up to other pitches, providing all the notes that were missing,” he said. “It’s wild that it happens that way — as if by design.”

Levy began earning a reputation among harmonica players. The attention came mostly from the blues realm, where the harmonica was most common, but what the blues players appreciated was the way Levy

“She kept saying, ‘Howard, you and Béla have to play together,’” Levy recalled. “She said it the first night, the second night, the third night.”

Eventually Levy found Fleck — a fellow New York native who refused to accept the conventional thinking about his instrument. Fleck had fallen in love with bluegrass but also with jazz and, following the dissolution of his string band New Grass Revival, was looking to start up something totally different.

The two jammed all night in a hotel room, laying the foundation for that new idea. The following summer, a Nashville TV show invited Fleck to bring an unusual act on the air. Fleck called Levy, the two rounded up the Wooten brothers, and the Flecktones were born.

Levy is pleased to be, once again, a Flecktone.

“It’s a special group that has a special chemistry and seems to create a special response from audiences,” he said. He is happy that Fleck is showing interest in playing Levy’s compositions; “Rocket Science” features three tunes written or co-written by Levy. And he has enjoyed the way that the Flecktones are not quite the same band they were when he left.

“Everyone has grown in the same way,” he said. “Everyone has done so many things; we all bring a lot of life and music experience back to it, which really enriches the music.”

And Levy is satisfied that this

was opening things up.

“It was this liberating thing, freeing up the harmonica to a whole new kind of expression,” he said.

Appearing at the Winnipeg Folk Festival in 1988 as part of the band Trapezoid, Levy got an urgent message from one of his bandmates, singer Lorraine Duisit.

time around, being a Flecktone leaves room for other things. Like the four-part Latin jazz suite he premiered last year, the harmonica concerto written by a former student of his that he plans to record, and the “Melody of Rhythm” DVD and book he has been working on for 15 years.

STILL CHILL IN BOULDER

NEED TO KNOW The Boulderado Boulder, Colo.

Distance from Aspen: 204 miles What to do: Eat, drink, hike, sit, play … whatever

I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT IT HAD been eight years since I had been to Boulder — that quaint little city that wants, so bad, to be a mountain town — and felt like this delay between visits made me some sort of Western Slope hideabout.

So I went down to change all that.

There, I found what I remembered — Boulder is and it isn’t a mountain town. The characters, quaint architecture and nearby mountains give it a feel that the mountains are central to its way of life. But there is also the other side, its large volume of strip malls, its undefined border with Denver’s sprawl, and the other half of the town we call the University of Colorado.

Which is why the Hotel Boulderado was heaven-sent. The service was excellent, the location put us just two blocks from Pearl Street, and the overall décor gave us the feeling of being in a quaint spot, with access to all the accoutrements of a college town.

We spent two days walking around — there is little to no need for a car — and found a number of restaurants that deserved a try.

At one of them, for a second, on a porch in the sunlight, we could have been in Aspen. But that came crashing down an hour later when we found a good sports bar to watch a couple of NCAA games, and that’s when I began to feel that, indeed, this was a city. I have spent the past 11 years in eight different mountain towns and never found one decent sports bar in any of them.

We did more than drink and eat. We spent a Saturday morning hiking the nearby Fallen Arch Trail and felt a little more at home high on the ridgeline, looking down at the urbanity below us.

I was starving when we got down, and after getting lost for a second driving back to town, we found the hotel and the relative security of Pearl Street. I traded flip-flops for hiking shoes, put on a hat and walked to find some food.

Musicians played, a man squeezed himself into a box for entertainment, and nearby, we found a table perfect for people watching and a bartender with a good cocktail menu.

No, this isn’t a mountain town, I thought, taking a sip. It’s Boulder, plain and simple.

WHY SOLDIERS COME HERE TO HEAL VETERANS YOUNG AND OLD COME TO THE VALLEY TO HEAL, TO GET AWAY, AND TO REMIND ONE ANOTHER THE RECOVERY FROM WAR IS NEVER OVER

by MICHAEL APPELGATE

jahzeel sequeira squinted through the peephole down a short, brown barrel of a rifle used in the Korean War. With sniperlike patience, the former Navy corporal took aim at a poster of Osama Bin Laden more than 50 yards away. He squeezed the trigger, adding to the chorus filled with the familiar sounds of war.

SEQUEIRA’S INSTRUCTOR, peering through binoculars at the target, delivered news of the shot. “Looks like he won’t be having children anymore,” the instructor said, sending both men into laughter.

“I haven’t shot any gun since 2003,” Sequeira said. “That felt really good. It was nice to get the adrenaline going again.”

Last week, Sequeira and more than 100 veterans of American wars converged on the Basalt State Wildlife Area Shooting Range, one activity in the 26th annual Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic. The weeklong event with more than 400 veterans was cosponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs and Disabled American Veterans and is one of a yearlong series of events held in the area that supports disabled veterans.

While the soft-spoken Sequeira, who served in the Navy from 2003 to 2006, reacquainted

himself with rifles, he showed no ill effects of his multiple spinal injuries suffered in his three tours of duty. But not all his injuries were physical.

Bob Perigo, the clinic’s shooting-range coordinator and Vietnam War veteran, can look in the soldiers’ eyes and know if they faced war.

“Many of them still have the 1,000-yard stare,” Perigo said. “You look right at them, and you

Vietnam. Many have come to the mountains to get training and support from programs with the U.S. Adaptive Recreation Centers and, more locally, groups such as Challenge Aspen and volunteers at the T-Lazy-7 Ranch, who bring soldiers out every year to go snowmobiling.

POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER now afflicts 21 percent of soldiers returning from war, according to a recent Veterans Health Administration study.

The February study sampled 500,000 of the approximately 2 million soldiers who have returned from the Middle East.

A former search-and-rescue officer, Sequeira is one of those afflicted with the disorder.

“I get mad very easily, and it feels like the world is coming down on me,” he said. “It’s a very different experience when you have posttraumatic stress disorder.”

“THIS IS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY. I LIKE GETTING WITH ALL OF THE OTHER SERVICE GUYS, AND IT’S A GREAT TIME. I’M NOW JUST LIVING LIFE.” — MIKE PYLE, VETERAN

Sequeira, 30, struggles with nightmares and sometimes sleeps just two or three hours every night. The mental problems were compounded when the military discharged him three days before the end of his service in 2006 due to complications with updating his personal information to his superiors, according to Sequeira. After three tours of duty — participating in Operation Iraqi Freedom, working in aviation management and helping with rescue operations in the 2004 Indonesian tsunami — he wound up homeless for six months in California.

“I had nowhere else to go,” Sequeira said. “I finally got some help from a friend and got back in touch with my family in Florida. If it wasn’t for my family, I wouldn’t be here today.”

With his family in Miami, he received help from Veterans Affairs and began treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. He tried to hold a job like a regular citizen, working at a Cheesecake Factory and at another time as a substitute teacher, but was uncomfortable in the crowds.

Problems with adjusting to normal society is one aspect where Perigo can help — or at least relate. When Perigo came home in 1967, after 32 months in Vietnam, he said he “went into hiding about my service to the country.”

“There were a lot of bad vibes toward military guys,” he explained.

As Perigo, 68, applied for jobs, he would intentionally leave out his military experience on job applications. Eventually, he found work as a bodyguard in Chicago and then moved to Aspen to follow the same line of work.

Soon, Perigo found a job as a carpenter and created his own business. By 1980 — more than 10 years after his service ended — he started to feel a part of the community while getting involved with the Roaring Fork Valley Veterans Affairs group.

“I feel it’s important now to do as much as I can to be involved in charitable events because I want to see these folks get the treatment they deserve,” said Perigo, who now lives in Carbondale. “Not the treatment we never saw and never had.”

EVENTS LIKE LAST WEEK’S sports clinic at the shooting range teach participants they are not alone with their disabilities and difficulty transitioning back to civilian life. Mike Partridge, a Vietnam War veteran from Olympia, Wash., came to the clinic for his second time because of the closeness he experienced with his fellow Marines. He converses with Marines coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan and believes they have a lot more resources than he did.

“They don’t want to ask for help, however,” Partridge said. “It’s getting better for them. They just have to want to do it. ... It’s hard to get a warrior to ask for help, but at least it’s available.”

In the past six years, more veterans have reached out. According to the Veterans Health Administration, the Army diagnosed 10,756 troops with post-traumatic stress disorder in 2010, up from 4,967 in 2005. An exact number of soldiers with the disorder is unknown because soldiers hold back on admitting their troubles.

While the number is increasing and resources for veterans have been expanding, Perigo believes aid is still not where it needs to be.

“It’s gotten a lot better in the past 24 months,” he said. “The line used to be outside the hospital. Now they’ve brought that line inside, but it’s still a wait to get help.”

Since 2005, the VA has hired an additional 3,000 mental-health physicians, but the issues of re-integrating with society go beyond the physical and mental. Like Sequeira, many struggle with finding work. For veterans younger than 24, the unemployment rate is almost 40 percent.

“There’s little evidence of them being let back into the work force, but a lot of them aren’t ready to come out yet to work,” Perigo said.

So first they come here, to western Colorado, to heal.

GULF WAR VETERAN Mike Pyle carefully laid down the modern, black military rifle and turned around to high-five friend Jeff Saddler.

Pyle was diagnosed with cancer 11 months ago. The chemicals he breathed in his Navy flight squadron in 1991 finally afflicted the

“IT’S HARD TO GET A WARRIOR TO ASK FOR HELP, BUT AT LEAST IT’S AVAILABLE.” — MIKE PARTRIDGE, VETERAN 41-year-old. After losing his right leg, Pyle has been in remission since February. The two men discussed the recoil of the gun and how Pyle forgot how much of an effect it had on his aim.

“This is a blast. It’s unbelievable,” Pyle said afterward. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I like getting with all of the other service guys, and it’s a great time. I’m now just living life.”

Saddler sat down where Pyle finished shooting and took aim at five hanging bowling pins 30 yards away.

“Technically, I’m not supposed to be able to walk,” he said.

Forty-five-year-old Saddler suffered severe spinal injuries in 1987 when he fell out of his Navy helicopter onto the deck of the USS Belleau Wood in the Pacific Ocean.

With each shot the veteran took, a pin swayed back and forth — signaling a hit. Saddler is quite familiar with guns; he now works as a gunsmith in Virginia.

Because of treatment, many veterans such as Saddler and Partridge, who was a city planner in Lynnwood, Wash., for 15 years and suffered from multiple sclerosis, can become productive citizens again. The activities on the shooting range, according to Perigo, prove that veterans are as capable as anyone else despite the handicaps.

“This is so challenging to all the vets,” Perigo said. “Some of them have only one arm, so we need to teach them how to shoot again. A lot of them came here thinking it wasn’t possible.”

During the four days of shooting at the range, scores of volunteers helped veterans find targets. As Partridge walked away from the range, the few targets he did hit were enough for the veteran to feel accomplished.

“I’ve never been treated better my whole life,” Partridge said. “We’re treated like kings here.”

“I hope they will walk away feeling accomplished in something,” Perigo said. “I hope

After hitting four out of five balloons with a crossbow and then shooting Bin Laden in the groin, Sequeira posed for a picture with the Korean War rifle.

He removed his glasses and wiped his forehead with his sleeve. The man who is uncomfortable in crowds and dislikes commotion stood tall as a melody of bullets resounded behind him.

“Being here at the winter sports clinic, it means a lot to me,” he said. “It shows me that people do care about us, and it helps me get out and see something good coming from my life and hope for the future.

“It’s good to see that not all injuries are physical. It really impacts me to see brothers and sisters of mine struggling through the same thing.”

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

by MARY ESHBAUGH HAYES

ST. PAT’S AT ST. MARY’S THE ST. PATRICK’S DAY Dinner at St. Mary’s Catholic Church is a total community affair with members of the church and members of the community at large preparing the food and serving the dinners.

Everyone gets into the spirit of the Irish holiday and there are many people who MARY come in costume. An ESHBAUGH HAYES Irish band plays Irish jigs and folk songs throughout the evening in the entry and in the dessert room while singers belting our Irish songs entertain the diners in the big dining room.

Writing about food reminds me that Food & Wine Magazine has been running double-page spreads about the 2012 Food & Wine Classic in Aspen on June 15 through 17, which is the 30th anniversary for the affair.

The ads depict the famous chefs who participate, each holding a cutout wood “30.”

Had a recent email from former Aspenite Dutch Hodges, who is spending time with the Peace Corps in Africa. She writes: “I’m living somewhere between the Garden of Eden (the animals are amazing) and the moon! Pinch me! Ten months of working as a Peace Corps business volunteer to help Eco Ethics with its grant and board developement has been really hard.

“The organization is a decade-old maritime environmental nonprofit, staff of eight, fisheries guys and ecologists serving coastal Kenya in training artisanal fishermen, teaching conservation in the schools, and watch-dogging the port of Mombasa with a toxic waste program.”

The March-April issue of Mountain Living magazine includes an article and photos of Sally and Craig Sarkin’s home near Carbondale.

BOOK REVIEW

TROPIC OF CANCER FIRST, A SMALL POINT: I started, but did not finish, “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” mostly because after a very graphic rape scene, I lost my desire to learn more about that story.

As I read through those scenes, it was not that I was offended — I just could not help daydreaming about poor Henry Miller and what he would be thinking if he were still alive.

Miller’s most famous book, “Tropic of Cancer,” was written in Paris between 1930 and 1934 and was promptly banned in the United States until 1961. In “Tropic,” he wrote graphically about sex and violence and all things seedy, while most popular fiction of his time dealt with classicism and kept characters in traditional roles based on their gender or race.

Miller’s very uncivilized story, by today’s terms, is fairly mild — more funny than obnoxious. While 1930s audiences might have raised their

turned Miller into a foundation for college-level literature courses. He paints intricate detail of people and places but, when needed, takes a step back and paints with a wider brush, allowing evil to be good, pretty to be ugly and reality to be a mixture of what we see and what we believe.

In the end, Miller leaves an accurate but stained picture of a part of our country that exists but is hard to look at. The book is disgusting, vile and in parts immoral, but to me, it is worth reading. After all, it is nothing like that modern, vicious girl, the one with all the tattoos.

Every so often, Editor-in-Chief Ryan Slabaugh pulls an old book off the shelves in order to remind us why we read it in the first place.

NOTEWORTHY

eyebrows at Miller’s first chapter, where the narrator tells a story about how he had to shave his roommate’s armpits because he was infested with lice, it seems more like a sitcom today than anything groundbreaking.

But the writing — it stands out and clearly identifies Miller as one of the 20th century’s best. After we learn the narrator is a newspaperman, we learn that he uses his profession to open all sorts of doors, including a bar where there is a section reserved for scum — pimps, prostitutes and journalists.

In one sentence, whether intended or not, Miller left one passage unclear about who, exactly, he was writing about — the women or the reporters — and allowed the unidentified “they” to become the joke: “It’s gratifying to observe how miserable they can look when they are obliged to sit beside a pimp, who, despite the little hardships of his profession, lives a life of luxury by comparison.”

It’s a great sentence, even to a newspaperman like myself, and illustrates one of the great tricks that
