THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

POPULAR MUSIC THESE DAYS, Molly Ringwald is a jazz singer. And this weekend she’s bringing her take on the Great American Songbook to Aspen. The “Brat Pack” actress best known for her roles in iconic ’80s teen movies “Pretty in Pink,” “The Breakfast Club” and “Sixteen Candles” released her debut album two years ago and has been touring the world as a singer ever since. The record, “Except Sometimes,” showcases Ringwald singing classic songs like “The Very Thought of You” and “Pick Yourself Up” alongside her rendition of Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me),” which has followed Ringwald ever since its use at the conclusion of “The Breakfast Club.” But Ringwald’s musical career isn’t some celebrity goof — this isn’t William Shatner singing “Mr. Tambourine Man.” Ringwald was actually a singer before she was an actress. Her father, Bob Ringwald, was a pianist, and she began performing in his jazz band at age 3. In recent years, Ringwald, now 47, has returned to music while continuing to act. She also published her debut novel, “When It Happens to You,” in 2012. “Jazz music has continued to be one of my three passions along with acting and writing,” Ringwald says in a press release. “I like to say jazz music is my musical equivalent of comfort food. It’s always where I go back to when I want to feel grounded.” Ringwald will perform at the Wheeler Opera House on Friday, Feb. 27. Tickets are $45 and available at the Wheeler box office and www.aspenshowtix.com.

Actress Molly Ringwald released her debut album of jazz vocals, “Except Sometimes,” in 2013. She will perform at the Wheeler Opera House on Friday, Feb. 27.

CURRENTEVENTS CLASSICAL MUSIC Spoken word artist Logan Phillips has been holding poetry workshops with local students and will perform alongside students and fellow poets Myrlin Hepworth and Mercedez Holtry at the Wheeler on Saturday, Feb. 28.

Opera singers from the University of Colorado will perform a free, family-friendly show at Harris Hall on Thursday, Feb. 26.

THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO’S Eklund Opera Theater Singers are bringing a family-friendly taste of opera to Harris Hall for a free performance. The 11 graduate students in the troupe will perform a sampling of choreographed musical theater and opera scenes, with compositions ranging from Verdi and Puccini to Sondheim and Gilbert and Sullivan. Formed in 2009, the show marks Eklund’s second free performance in Aspen, in what’s becoming an annual tradition. They will perform at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26 at Harris Hall.

LITERATURE POETS MYRLIN HEPWORTH, Mercedez Holtry and Logan Phillips have been working with local students in recent weeks, mentoring young people from 16 valley schools in the art of self-expression. Their time here will culminate in three public events presented by Aspen Words, beginning with the second annual Youth Poetry Slam at the Third Street Center in Carbondale on Friday, Feb. 27, and followed by an all-ages Cumbia Dance Party. Winners of Friday’s slam will perform at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28 at the Wheeler Opera House alongside Hepworth, Holtry and Phillips. All three events are free. More information at 970-925-3122.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

VOX POP What’s left on your must-do list this winter?

with JOHN COLSON

Valley cops facing a little scrutiny these days LOT’S ABOUT COPS in the local news lately, eh? Upvalley, downvalley and in the midvalley, the police and sheriff’s deputies have been in one spotlight or another — questionable takedown tactics in Aspen, an officer-involved shooting near Glenwood Springs, extreme quiet surrounding a murder case in Carbondale. These are the people we pay to serve and protect us, on a domestic level, shielding us from harm or damage we might do to ourselves or each other in the course of life on this wayward planet. We pay them to train up for making lifeand-death decisions in a split second, and as has been mentioned by another local newspaper commenting about this issue, we expect them to be rational and right in their decision-making and reasonable in their actions, every time. It’s a lot to ask of a flawed human being in any circumstance, that’s for sure. Up in Aspen, the question is whether a city cop overreacted when confronted with the possibility that a teenager was rolling a joint at a bus shelter near the Aspen schools campus. Now, in retrospect, there appears to be some question as to whether the kid was rolling a joint in the first place, which leads to questions about whether the cop involved had what is known as “probable cause” to grab him, rough him up and call for backup. Downvalley, deputies of Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario shot a Parachute man to death along I-70, after he reportedly beat up his wife and threatened her with a pistol, then fled when another individual appeared on the scene and went to the wife’s aid. He was later chased down and shot after he pointed his pistol at his own head and then started running “toward traffic,” according to reports. In Carbondale, police have been somewhat slow to issue key information about a Feb. 16 incident that began, for the cops, when an unnamed man rear-ended an empty cattle truck on Highway 133 and, while being airlifted to Grand Junction for treatment of serious injuries, reportedly told the flight crew he had earlier killed his wife in Carbondale. The situation immediately slowed down due to a variety of factors, including the complexity of getting a man out of a wrecked car and to a hospital, then flying that same man to another hospital for further treatment, then communicating between different agencies with different missions to fulfill (EMTs, doctors, cops, dispatchers, and the local police hierarchy come immediately to mind), with the result that the Carbondale cops didn’t even learn

of the reported murder until well into the afternoon. Once they started looking, it wasn’t long before they found the victim in a bedroom of an apartment where several families reportedly were living. Aside from those basic facts, the cops have been mum on numerous salient details, such as the nationalities of the suspect and the victim, whether a weapon was found at either scene (accident or apartment) and what type of weapon it is, and the time of the victim’s death. Police Chief Gene Schilling has told me that he is constrained by the fact that multiple agencies are now involved, including the Ninth Judicial District Attorney’s office and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, each of which apparently demand they be informed of every item of information sent out to the public. So, we hadn’t gotten much in the way of such information, at least not as of my Monday morning deadline for this column, which comes out on Thursday. But that’s not the issue, really. The issue is whether we trust the cops or not, to act rationally and reasonably, to tell us what they can when they can, basically to be public servants and not a bunch of macho members who feel entitled to push the rest of us around whenever they want to and then retreat behind the Blue Wall of Silence when asked about, well, whatever. And that, dear reader, is a question that is being asked all across the land, as police shootings, corruption in the prisons and other matters grab headlines and generate considerable concerns, if not fear, among the citizenry about what some have been calling our growing police state in the U.S.A. I should note that, in my 36-plus years covering news in this valley, I’ve had fairly good relations with the cops, occasionally blooming into friendship with individuals in different cop shops. But I also have had to write stories that have not exactly endeared me to the cops involved in those stories, to put it mildly. I don’t have any answers about the questions posed above, I really just wanted to get a conversation going. I should note that in the main I think our cops around here believe they are righteous in the performance of their jobs, usually with justification, though their paranoia about media types is frustrating to people such as myself. As time moves along, we will learn more about what’s happened in these recent incidents and what, if anything, we need to do in reaction. Stay tuned.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUHGBY

Office computation became a faster task with the Comptometer, as advertised in an Engineering and Mining Journal of 1891.

THE E AND M J Those who want to understand life in a ski town of

the 1950s might peruse back issues of Ski Magazine. For those curious about mining era Aspen, pages of The Engineering and Mining Journal, commonly known as The E and M J, provide context.

John Herron, my uncle, leased and operated the Smuggler and Durant mines. Over the years, he salvaged piles of leftover papers that had been left in the mine offices. He stored the refuse at the back of a shed. When my aunt sold the property, I rescued a stack of The E and M J back issues. Each issue is about 60 pages and similar in size to the old Life Magazine. It contains roughly twothirds advertising. The balance — articles, charts and illustrations – are printed in a type small enough to discourage me from spending hours extracting relevant material. But I remain drawn to them because a few minutes of reading leads me to think like someone in 1890s Aspen did. The magazine, still in publication, was a product of the Scientific Publishing Co. with offices at 27 Park Place in New York City. Subscribers included geologists, miners, mining investors, stockbrokers and those involved in metals industries like smelting. The copies that my uncle saved came from a subscription by Aspen’s Deep Mining and Drainage Co. That company was owned by early and longtime mining investor D.R.C. Brown, and mine and railroad

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

magnate David Moffitt of Denver. The products that were advertised ranged from small washers to locomotive engines and spoke volumes about the technology of the time. An early calculator called

The magazine’s articles introduced new methods for milling and mining. One explained, for example, how to use electricity to manufacture phosphorus. Another showed how to dispose of blast furnace

THE MAGAZINE’S ARTICLES INTRODUCED NEW METHODS FOR MILLING AND MINING. ONE EXPLAINED, FOR EXAMPLE, HOW TO USE ELECTRICITY TO MANUFACTURE PHOSPHORUS. ANOTHER SHOWED HOW TO DISPOSE OF BLAST FURNACE SLAG. YET ANOTHER INTRODUCED THE OXY-MAGNESIUM LAMP. THE STORIES INFORMED READERS ABOUT MINING-RELATED COURT CASES, INDUSTRY TRENDS SUCH AS RAILROAD FREIGHT RATES, AND OTHER MINING ACTIVITIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD. the Comptometer, and a device that recorded security rounds called the Eco Magneto Watchman’s punch-in clock suggest changes in industrial work life. Ads for generators, electric motor-powered machinery to make bolts and nuts, pumps and electric nickelplating equipment, testify to the transformation brought about by electricity.

slag. Yet another introduced the oxy-magnesium lamp. The stories informed readers about miningrelated court cases, industry trends such as railroad freight rates, and other mining activities from around the world. Several sections mentioned Aspen, including summaries of individual mines in the state-by-state news. Aspen had its own mining stock

exchange alongside those of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Pittsburgh and stocks from 20 Aspen mines featured in the market section. The Aspen Times reprinted portions of The E and M J articles and relied on the journal as a reference for mining statistics. B. Clark Wheeler, owner of the Times, used the journal to promote his own endeavors. Wheeler would pass on information about one of his enterprises, such as the Aspen Mining and Smelting Co., to the journal; the journal would run a story about the business; and then Wheeler would reprint what the journal said in The Aspen Times. By referring to the respected journal, Wheeler gave his stories more credibility. An E and M J subscription ran about $95 a year in today’s dollars, about one day’s wages for a miner. It came out weekly, and I suspect it was found in Aspen’s barbershops back then as commonly as Sports Illustrated is today. A few up-to-date comments about “Treasury ruling on lead ore imports,” “the decrease in the production of pig iron,” or “why dip is more likely to be regular than strike with fissure veins,” would have been great conversation starters. Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective. Reach him at redmtn2@ comcast.net.

ART FROM THE START

1890 ASPEN

ON APRIL 4, 1890, the Aspen Daily Times described an art exhibition featuring local women, noting that “a number of Aspen ladies, pupils of Mrs. M.A. Moore, are giving an art exhibition at the Hotel Jerome. The work is all their own and has been done in Mrs. Moore’s studio. The exhibition is being given in the lower parlor of the hotel and will be continued through this evening. It began yesterday afternoon and a great number visitors, mostly ladies, called. The collection embraces 65 pieces in number and the paintings cover nearly every field of the artist. There is also crayon and needle work. Many of the paintings are very beautiful and the ladies may well feel proud of their work.” This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

QUITE HANDY: ARC’TERYX ‘FUTURE GLOVE’

“MORE LIKE A JACKET THAN A GLOVE.” That statement is being thrown around in reference to a next-generation product from Canadian brand Arc’teryx. The company, known for its high-end jackets and outerwear, previewed the Lithic Glove last month at industry trade shows. I got a pair to test for two weeks in the depths of a February chill. Look closely at the handwear and any gear geek can see it’s different — laserprecise lines, taped seams, three-layer fabric construction, articulated fingers and a dense nylon instead of leather laminated on the palm make the gloves stand out.

They are waterproof thanks to a Gore-Tex membrane, and the company uses three kinds of PrimaLoft insulation, a synthetic goose down, to balance warmth, bulk and the nimbleness expected in a glove. I could easily buckle and adjust ski boots with the Lithic gloves on, and jacket zippers were no problem. For their warmth — good down to about

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Febr u ar y 26 - Mar ch 4, 20 15

10 degrees Fahrenheit in my test — the gloves offer above-average dexterity. The insulation is thicker in the cuffs and on the back of the hand, keeping the gloves cozy, and it’s applied thinner on the fingers and palms. This “mapped” insulation lets you grip a ski pole or ice axe solidly while maintaining overall warmth. For the premium performance you pay a price —

a huge $249 in this case. Arc’teryx built these gloves to be pinnacle products in its line. They are tough and should last for years. For guides, ski mountaineers, backcountry enthusiasts or anyone else who sees handwear as missioncritical equipment, the Lithic gloves are a new option. They come to market later this year as a part of a major glove line launch from Arc’teryx. Try a pair on to get a glimpse at the design and direction high-performance winter gloves are going.

TERRAZAS DE LOS ANDES AT PLATO’S HIGH-ALTITUDE WINES IN AN ELEVATED SETTING

OF THE GREAT RESTAURANTS in Aspen, I would argue that none show off the splendor of the local mountains like Plato’s in the Aspen Meadows Resort. The cantilevered windows virtually frame the majesty of the area’s ski mountains. The bird’s eye view of Castle Creek as it rushes below with the spring runoff is breathtaking. And the sun, setting in KELLY J. HAYES the West at the valley’s end, is unforgettable And over the past couple of years, Plato’s wine and food pairings have elevated to meet the expectations presented by the outstanding vistas. If you have not been to the Meadows in a while, a unique wine dinner featuring the offerings of Terrazas de los Andes presents a perfect opportunity to get reacquainted with this Aspen jewel. On Saturday, March 14, the kitchen staff at Plato’s will prepare a special Argentine-inspired five-course meal to accompany the high-altitude wines made in Mendoza, Argentina, by Terrazas de los Andes. Flavors, both subtle and bold, will be paired by Plato’s chef de cuisine Aaron Schmude to match the wines of one of Argentina’s most historic producers. The regional grapes that grow so well in the foothills of the Andes, from a fresh and aromatic white Torrontés to a darkly mysterious Malbec, will be showcased along with a special pouring of the Cheval de Andes, a bottling made in partnership between Bordeaux’s Cheval-Blanc and the Terrazas de los Andes. “I always get excited about doing special dinners,” says chef Schmude. “It gives us a chance to play with ideas and stretch our imaginations. This particular wine dinner has been a fun challenge due to the Argentinean background the vineyard has. From the research, we have came up with our play on traditional Argentinean flavors and ingredients. We were pleasantly surprised to find a huge Italian influence.”

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Working with the Plato’s team — including Andrew Tenis, director of food & beverage; Meadows executive chef Jason Thompson; pastry chef Aleece Alexander; and restaurant manager Bonnie Calderon — Schmude spent hours over the last couple of months creating a menu that ranges from a shrimp ceviche, blending in both chorizo and caviar, to a show-stopping short rib asado over polenta. For a finale, chef Alexander has created a Valrhona chocolate ganache with seckel pear, corn ice cream and dulce de leche that will be delectable with the Terrazas Malbec. “With all of my menus, I try to take classic dishes, ones that people are comfortable with, then put a modern twist on them with trending ingredients and techniques,” Schmude explained. Of course, co-starring at this event are the wines from Argentina. Terrazas de Andes was the first outpost of Moët & Chandon, the esteemed Champagne house (producer of Dom Pérignon) that was established in Épernay, France, in 1743. A little more than two centuries later, Renaud Poirier, chief winemaker at Moët & Chandon, was dispatched to Argentina to research the region’s potential for producing world-class sparkling wine. Suitably impressed, Bodega Chandon was established in 1959. In 1999 the company began the process of producing still wines at altitude in a restored 1898 Spanishstyle winery in the Lujan de Cuyo region. Terrazas instantly become a force in the production of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Chardonnay plantings in vineyards that range from 3,200 to 3,900 feet with each varietal matched to an altitude that 40 years of experience has deemed apt. While the Cheval de Andes, created with an eye to being “the Premier Cru of the Andes,” will be a highlight, there will be other discoveries to embrace as well. “Aaron, Bonnie and myself have been blown away by some of the single vineyard wines we’ll be

Febr u ar y 26 - Mar ch 4, 20 15

showcasing,” said Andy Tenis, teasing the Single Vineyard “Los Aromos” Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is grown at 3,200 feet on vines that were originally planted in 1929. A splendid example of how the long growing days and the glacial waters flowing from the peaks of the Andes can nourish and produce exceptional Cabernet. Sometimes wine dinners give short shrift to the food and wine pairings, using the occasion, instead, as a gimmick to pour expensive wines in order to get people in on a slow night. This is not the case with Plato’s, which clearly has invested the passion needed to create a special evening that not only presents, but celebrates the wonderful wines of

the region. The only caveat to this evening at Plato’s is that one needs to act quickly. “We limit our dinners to 30 guests to create an intimate atmosphere with the winemakers or representatives,” said Tenis. “After we published the menu for our last wine dinner in The Aspen Times, we sold out within 24 hours.” Ándale!

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

UNDER THE INFLUENCE It’s best to get to Plato’s early for a cocktail with a sunset view before dinner (the sun will slip out of site by 6:13 p.m. on the 14th), but even if you miss it, the small-wood ceilinged room is intoxicating: Plato’s, and the Aspen Meadows, is home to the bold, colorful geometric designs of Aspen legend Herbert Bayer. The tapestries and sketches that hang on the walls of Plato’s give the restaurant artistic bona fides that make it totally unique. Bayer, a founder of the Bauhaus movement, designed the hotel and grounds of the Meadows and the Aspen Institute and the works that hang in Plato’s are not only beautiful, they are historic.

TINY WONDERS

SMALL KITCHENS REQUIRE XXL CREATIVITY AT CRÊPERIE DU VILLAGE on recent Friday night, chef Andreas Neufeld is closing in on 300 covers during a 12-hour nonstop service. I’ve snagged one of seven coveted stools at the bar, where I notice that nearly all of the other 45 seats in this subterranean spot are occupied with patrons sipping wine, dipping crusty bread into fondue, AMANDA RAE and canoodling over candlelight. The air is thick with the unmistakable aromas of alpine bistro fare — bubbling cheese, braised meats, garlicky escargots — and it’s so toasty that my face flushes as if I’ve been on a kirsch binge since après-ski. Just beyond my silverware, Neufeld takes a rare pause to survey the cozy, crowded dining room. Here, in the space one might assume is a barkeep’s domain, the lanky, 6-foot-4 Austrian will remain for the rest of the evening. As most fans of the Crêperie realize, Neufeld’s entire kitchen fills this scant 100 square feet. The “line,” which he shares with two other cooks, comprises four crêpe makers, three induction burners, a pair of compact convection ovens, and, from what I can tell, a prep counter fit for a studio apartment. In the corner, a lone dishwasher tackles a Sisyphean tower of platters in a sink so teensy it’s comical. Stovetops, flames, and fryers are noticeably absent. There’s simply no room. “We’re very limited on equipment,” explains Neufeld, adding that customers are consistently shocked to learn there’s no secret kitchen. He does cook proteins in a sous-vide immersion circulator and warms soups on a small steam table, both hidden from view beneath the bar. In fact, his walk-in cooler sits

outside in the back alley above; fetching ingredients requires a stroll through the dining room, out the front door, upstairs, and around the sidewalk. “You wanna be smart about going out,” he quips, “so you

his final presentation is über-silky, served with cherry-shallot compote. “Bigger items, like braising veal cheeks, I can only do one thing a day.” Crêpe griddles will warm desserts, but they aren’t powerful

enough to boil water. Yet Neufeld’s cleverest trick isn’t hiding the spice rack in the ceiling or storing dry goods down below. “If I had a menu without fondue in this kitchen, it would not work,” Neufeld says. “It’s one-pot, we serve it in the dish. When we do 300 covers a day, raclette and fondue take the pressure off the kitchen. But there’s no guarantee. It’s a juggle.” No doubt, when Raphael Derly and Karin Schwendtner opened Crêperie du Village in late-2011 they took a cue from cultishly popular Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro, which slings fondue, raclette, and Champagne-soaked revelry at 10,900 feet on Aspen Highlands. When I ask Cloud Nine executive chef Michael Johnston about spending three seasons in a notoriously tiny kitchen, he snickers. “We have a small kitchen,” he confirms, “but then we have servers and customers walking straight through it, all day long.” Alas, when the warming hut was transformed to a restaurant in 1999, the only

don’t run back and forth.” Despite these limitations, the Crêperie’s menu of non-namesake items has expanded; Neufeld added a handful of hot entrées — sea scallops with pea purée and Romesco at dinner; Croque Madame at lunch — when he arrived following Ute City’s closure last year. “It’s being smart about how I write the menu,” he says of the intense planning required. “For one dish, I cannot get three sauté pans going. It needs to be simple.” Heavy morning prep typically employs a large farmhouse table in the center of the dining room before lunch guests roll in. Without it, he wouldn’t have space to form foie gras torchon or hand-roll ravioli. “I don’t have the capacity to sear foie gras,” Neufeld admits, though it hardly matters because Thanks to a menu heavy on crêpes, fondue, raclette, Crêperie du Village executive chef Andreas Neufeld is able to cook other alpine bistro dishes in a kitchen of only 100 square feet.

place to put five diminutive cooking areas was smack between two larger dining rooms. “Finding space to prep when I have 10 guys and four counter spaces, it’s tricky,” adds Johnston. He estimates that the space clocks 480 square feet, which may be generous. “But it seems a lot smaller; my dishwashing station is in the sauté room. In 150 square feet: one guy washing dishes, another cooking for 250 people.” Johnston credits his success to careful organization, as well as the rare ability to clean house daily. “We never have an abundance of food; we (bring up) enough for service and then its gone,” he says. It’s a blessing and a curse. “Most restaurants will prep for three or four days at once; we have to come in the morning and prep everything in two or three hours. It is a really hard job, but I have some really good chefs. It’s hard when you’re standing on top of someone else, tired and cranky. You become friends real quick.” Like Neufeuld at Crêperie did later, Cloud Nine’s founding executive chef Andreas Fischbacher (through 2012) engineered his menu to serve the

“IT WORKS HAVING A STRONG KITCHEN TEAM, OTHERWISE THERE’S NO WAY. WE CAN’T OVERSTAFF BECAUSE OF SPACE. IF SOMEONE CALLS OUT, WE REALLY STRUGGLE. ON BUSY NIGHTS, THOUGH, THEY’RE ROCK STARS!” — CRÊPERIE DU VILLAGE EXECUTIVE CHEF ANDREAS NEUFELD space: fondue, raclette, soups, cold plates. “That was a beautiful thing — to have all those sauté pans out of the kitchen,” says Fischbacher, who learned the art of minimalism while cooking around the world on low-ceilinged cruise ships in the mid-1980s. By the same turn, Crêperie, he says, is “one of the last shoestring restaurants. The mood inside…Raphael did a great job.” Still, “Small is relative,” says Henning Rahm, director of food and beverage at the Limelight Hotel, which sleeps 300. The 295-square-foot kitchen and wet bar, including a twin-size prep and dishwashing room behind it, was built when the Aspen Skiing Co. bought the lodge in 2010: a pizza oven, six-burner convection oven, and several cold stations to serve Mediterranean cuisine. “The pizza guys don’t even have to move,” Rahm explains, “but (chef Jeff Gundy) also makes his own pasta.”

Every inch of space is crucial: petite refrigerators double as prep tables; wooden bins hide ice troughs; pans hang from holes custom-drilled into the oven hood. In three years, Rahm has purchased several refrigerator units, portable ovens, a slow cooker, and hot boxes to keep up with the lounge’s overwhelming demand. Takeout boxes, dry goods, extra ovens, and special event equipment are stored in a separate location. “You have more space,” he cautions, “stuff piles up, you get mess.” As cost-per-square-footage continues to climb in Aspen, the need for creative efficiency in restaurants is more valuable than ever. “New York is the capital of making that happen, and Aspen is getting close with the changes in real estate,” notes Caribou Club executive chef Miles Angelo. This season, Angelo is

IN THE CLOUDS The silver lining to working in a cramped, mountaintop kitchen bisected by a public walkway with drunken revelers hanging on your shoulders? Unlike other commercial spaces, it rarely gets Death Valley hot. Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro founding chef Andreas Fischbacher recalls a few times when someone left the cooler door ajar: Contents inside froze solid overnight.

producing food for events at the Hyatt Grand Aspen’s Bison Bar — a five-course media tasting; the recent Oscars soirée — with little more than a microwave and Panini press. As it turns out, that’s cake for Angelo; the seasoned caterer recalls working atop a pair of sixfoot-long tables in a back room of Aspen’s Prada boutique to crank out 1,200 to 1,600 hors d’oeuvres in two hours. “You can set it up in a dark closet if you need to,” he says. “Dinners out of hallways — that’s what catering is all about.” Then there’s the Chinese jigsaw that is the 55-square-foot Popcorn Wagon, resurrected by Ajax Donuts owners Brad and Jacqueline Matthews this fall. “It’s a one-man show,” Brad says. “I’ve got hooks on the ceiling, built-in shelves. If you move (something), it has to go back to its spot immediately or the place looks cluttered. I bought a locker to hang our coats (outside).” But bigger is not always, as they say, better. When Fischbacher built his worksphop at Allegria Restaurant in Carbondale, he was conscious to conserve space. “The kitchen is pretty much the same footprint as Cloud Nine; it’s a little bit more mechanical, and there’s more storage,” he says. That he prefers a smaller kitchen boils down to something all chefs deal with, whether they realize it or not: mileage. Currently, Fischbacher clocks about eight miles during an eight-hour shift. “A large kitchen is spread out,” he explains. “All the sudden you’re running 16 miles a day!” What’s your favorite Aspen food experience? amandaraewashere@gmail.com

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

PEARADISE MARTINI While there are plenty of tasty twists to put on a martini, it can be hard to achieve the right balance in a fruitinfused version. Most are too sweet for my taste. So when I placed my order for a Pearadise Martini while at the Westin in downtown Denver recently, I braced myself for the first sugary sip. Lo and behold, it never happened. In fact, this was more like a Sweet Tart than a froufrou cocktail thanks to the subtle sweetness of the pear vodka and the tartness of the lime-tinged simple syrup. And it’s a good thing I liked it, as we had plenty to celebrate that night — yes, it’s a shameless plug, but this very

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

Some powder days are too special for work to get in the way.

POWDER RULE IN EFFECT THE SPIRIT OF A LARGE SNOWFALL

LAST WEEKEND BROUGHT US more than a foot of new snow to the Aspen/Snowmass mountains and pristine skiing conditions for visitors and locals alike. But what it truly brought us was a huge sigh of relief, and possibly, just a small glimmer of hope for the rest of winter. By Monday, the accumulation from the past three days could only mean one thing: BARBARA a powder day. This is PLATTS when the residents of Aspen put away their work attire, shrug off their weekday blues and head to the mountains. After all, it’s rude not to accept such a thoughtful gift from the Snow Gods. I woke up on Monday feeling, as I usually do at the beginning of a work week, overwhelmed and stressed. I’d had friends in town the whole weekend and, while it was a ton of fun, it wasn’t a particularly relaxing time. Sleep seemed seldom as there was so much to show these first-time visitors to Aspen. I just wasn’t quite ready for the work week to start. Then, as if directly answering my woes, I received a text from my boss, “Powder rules in effect this morning!” Immediately, my

Monday blues dissipated. I layered up and headed to Highlands. The powder rule has been a widely accepted custom in this town for decades. My guess is that it dates back to the 1940s when the 10th Mountain Division came here after World War II in search of pow. However, I have little historical evidence to back that up. Regardless, we have accepted powder days as pretty much mandatory for a long time. So long that I believe it to be a defining characteristic of our community. When I got to Highlands to meet my friends, some locals and others visiting, it was hard

to notice anything except the solidified grin on each of their faces. It was still snowing, but the sun was gradually poking out, showing a glistening mountain full of white. My group all had a lot to do that day. One of my friends had to write a story so she conducted her interviews on the chairlift. Another had a meeting with a business partner and took his call as he was heading down a run. And another set an alarm two minutes before a conference call, making it to the base just in time to call in. We worked around our responsibilities as we rode the chair lift up and took off downhill, with

soft, easily impressionable snow underneath our boards. Hoots and hollers could be heard all over the mountain, as we all celebrated the new conditions. Ski time was short, as we all knew we had to get to our commitments, but it was still well worth it. The morning helped break up the monotony of the week, making it feel less restricted, making it feel more unpredictable. We were all left with a comforting reminder of why we live here. It’s for mornings like that. Everyone who lives in Aspen has a different story for how or why they got here. Some of us work nights at various restaurants and bars in town. A few take on the 9 to 5 day shifts. Others are here for athletic pursuits or possibly entrepreneurial aspirations. However, we all share something in common: we are here to make the outdoors a priority in our daily lives. And that is one rule we just can’t break. If she’s not out in the mountains, Barbara Platts can typically be reached by email at bplatts.000@gmail.com or on Twitter @BarbaraPlatts. If she is out in the mountains, she hopes to see you there.

HEALING ARTS

USING THE ARTS AS THERAPY IN THE ROARING FORK VALLEY

by ANDREW TRAVERS

WHEN THEY WALKED INTO THE STUDIO at the Wyly Community Art Center, a lot of the kids seemed skeptical. Seeing an instructor in a paint-stained smock, and tables lined with watercolors, inks, brushes and swatches of fabric, they giggled, some snickered, others rolled their eyes. But five hours later, these eight kids from the Youth Recovery Center — an addiction treatment center at Valley View Hospital specializing in clients age 14 to 18 — all had artwork to share, all had something to say about it and, to their surprise, it had something to say about them. A 17-year-old from Durango painted a scene with a mountain lion in the woods, a pair of bloodshot eyes positioned in the foreground. He was four days into treatment, and started the day at the Wyly a bit shy and stand-offish. But he lit up talking about his painting. It’s from a real life story, he said, of smoking methamphetamine alone in the woods and scaring off a mountain lion with a knife and a cooking pan. As he told his story (“I was gonna stab the shit out of that mountain lion!”), it drew supportive laughs and cheers from the rest of the kids, and then got him talking openly about fear. “I had some bad experiences that day that got

deep in my head that were messing with me,” he said. “I guess it feels good to get some of it out and share it. It’s nice.” Seated in a semi-circle on a recent Sunday afternoon at the Wyly in Basalt, the young recovering addicts went one by one talking about their work. Part of a “Journaling with Images” exercise, the day began with 10 minutes of freewriting, followed by a full day of making art. A girl from Steamboat made a collage for her mother, with designs that she thought her mom would like and the phrase, “Though I may bend I will not break” in the center. Other works included a lifelike rose, rendered amidst a jumble of letters, which its 18-year-old creator, kicking heroin, said represented the need to look for beauty in the mess of life.

A S P E N T I M E S . C O M / W E E K LY

A 15-year-old from Parker made a drawing of a chess piece on almond-aged paper, with the word “LIFE” above it. He said he’d often acted impulsively after fights with his mom and his brother, then gotten drunk or high, and then inevitably failed drug tests and gotten into more trouble with his probation officer. After 13 days in treatment, he said, he’d been thinking about chess. “Life is a game and if you don’t think ahead, you lose,” he explained. Another of the kids, a 17-year-old from Cortez who had been sober a week, drew a woman’s face with the letter “I” in place of one of her eyes, in a play on the Biblical adage “an eye for an eye.” He said it happened unconsciously. He’d been drawing a face, he said, then got into it, added the “I,” and then got to thinking. “Part of the reason I’m here is because I did a lot of things, and it’s coming back on me,” he told the group. “Kharma does happen.” Brooke Coon, an instructor who leads the monthly “Journaling with Images” sessions with the Youth Recovery Center residents, said her days with the young recovering addicts dependably go this way: kids start out shy, they don’t think much of the art they’re making, then at the end they surprise themselves with some profound conclusions. “They think it means nothing, and then at the

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

end they find it’s really deep,” she said. Therapy for the kids at the Youth Recovery Center is about as high stakes as therapy gets. All of the patients there have been diagnosed with chemical dependence, most with additional mental health or behavioral diagnoses, and have failed in prior attempts to get clean through treatment. Many of them are in legal trouble — the kind of juvenile convictions where a few more scrapes with the law can derail an adult life. Art might not be the first thing you think a kid needs in such a situation. But self-expression, say staffers at the 25-year-running Youth Recovery Center, is key to turning their lives around. They use art along with a battery of more traditional recovery methods. Over the course of the 42-day program at the Youth Recovery Center, the kids will spend a day at the Aspen Art Museum and another making art with an Art Museum educator. They’ll make work at the Carbondale Clay Center, and make music with a local musician. Along with their day at the Wyly’s “Journaling with Images” program, they’ll spend time working with licensed art therapist Kym Allison. “A lot of these young people have difficulty expressing themselves,” said Tom Schwenk, a recreational therapist at the Youth Recovery Center. “And you might hear, ‘I can’t do it when

I’m not under the influence.’ So I see it as a way of expressing themselves, with the freedom to be themselves, and not needing a substance. Being able to do that, hopefully they realize they don’t need it.” The Youth Recovery Center’s use of the arts is just one piece of a movement in the Roaring Fork Valley that’s embracing art as a therapeutic tool. Actively making art, and passively experiencing art, are both being used by an increasing number of programs and practitioners in the valley. The Aspen Hope Center — a clearinghouse for mental health services, which opened 2010 with a mission to curb the valley’s outsize suicide rate — is embracing the use of art. “Art has crossed the Hope Center’s path so often in the last six months that we’re trying to get people more connected with the arts and therapy,” Hope Center director Michelle Muething said. “It can make an enormous impact.” The Hope Center has more frequently been referring clients to local art and music therapists, and partnering with a growing number of arts organizations. “One thing we specialize in is finding what specific people need,” Muething said. “Art is a modality that can reach people, and is becoming more well-known. And we’re finding that’s what a lot of people need and want here.“

FRAMES OF MIND In recent months, the Hope Center has integrated art-making into some of its group counseling sessions. They’ve also begun referring people to a local therapist who uses clay with clients, and to the valley’s only practicing music therapist — Mack Bailey — who opened his local shop last year, wile also sending some people to the new Aspen Art Museum. They’ve begun sending clients from the Hope Center’s intensive outpatient program to the museum, as a place for quiet reflection. But it’s also a museum where, by design, visitors have to talk to people — however briefly — at the front desk and when entering its galleries. “I’ve thought about the museum as a place of reception and alternative means of communication,” said Aspen Art Museum director Heidi Zuckerman. “I know that moment of darkness is so often a moment of isolation. If you can get people out of that instant, it can make it entirely different.” Zuckerman herself recalled a fight with a boyfriend during college at the University of Pennsylvania, after which, fuming, she wandered into the Locks Gallery in downtown Philadelphia and found some relief by briefly focusing on something else. “What happens with art, when it’s at its best, is it removes us from the here and now and it takes us to a better place,” she said. “It’s not a prescribed place or a didactic place. But it removes you from your immediate circumstance.” The Hope Center is also bringing Fort Collins artist and art therapist Jennifer Ianovich to town later this year. Ianovich collects stories from people with mental illness and makes artwork out of their stories. From afar the pieces look like stains on a wall, but up close they’re vibrant, detailed paintings that tell those stories. The project, titled “Stigma Stains,” is aimed at reducing the societal stigma attached to mental illness. “These are stories of hope from people who have made it through,” said Muething.

MENTAL NOTES Therapist Mack Bailey’s clients don’t sit back on a couch and talk to him. He arrives at their homes with a bag filled with instruments — a singing bowl, shaker eggs, a cabasa, drums, bells, tambourines — and his guitar. Bailey has been playing music in Aspen for decades. Until last summer, most of his performances here were as a touring musician with folk rock bands like the Limelighters and the Hard Travelers along with John Denver tribute concerts. Throughout his career, he had frequently volunteered to play in nursing homes and hospitals, and he has seen the effect music can have on people during painful times. Four years ago, he decided to step off-stage and devote himself to harnessing music’s therapeutic potential. “I knew the power of music, but I wanted to know how to be in control of that, which I think is the whole crux of the therapeutic value of it,” he explained. At 50, Bailey entered the music therapy program at Colorado State University, focusing on neurologic music therapy, which put the road musician in an unlikely seat in classes like biology and neuroanatomy. Graduating in 2013, he did his internship at Children’s Hospital Colorado, where he recalled a transformative experience with a young girl who had conversion disorder. She couldn’t talk, only howled. So Bailey sat down and howled with her. Then he played a piano and found the note she was howling in, and moved it down to a note that was in her normal vocal range. Eventually, her voice came down as she howled with the music, and she started talking. Working with a metronome and one of her favorite songs —

Green Day’s “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” — he also slowly worked her out of her Parkinson’s-like shuffle to a normal gait. Songwriting is Bailey’s focus in his new Aspenbased practice. His method — and it’s a method he backs up with case studies published in The Arts in Psychotherapy, the Nordic Journal of Music Therapy and The Journal of Addiction Nursing — is to get people to tell their story, then turn it into lyrics, and then set it to music. The method has proved particularly effective with children who’ve experienced trauma and adults with post-traumatic stress disorder. “Every time you add a musical element, whether it’s rhythm, harmony, meter — when you add that, it’s still your story, but it adds a degree of separation [from the trauma],” he explained. Once he gets a song written with a patient, they record it with someone else singing it, to allow people another lens through which to see their situation. As a rule, when he has clients write songs, he directs them to end on a positive note. If the song sticks with them like an earworm, he argues, they’ll see some hope in the trauma they’ve written about. Music therapy, in particular, is also effective with dementia patients. An old song can stay stuck in someone’s memory despite the effects of

degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer’s. Play it, and they may start singing or humming along. With dementia patients, he said, playing music can open up something that brings a person back toward who they used to be, all on the strength of endorphins. The wife of a local dementia patient who has been seeing Bailey, playing drums and other instruments, called his work “simply amazing.” “Mack has brought out much laughter, tears and community to our current situation,” she said via e-mail. Bailey is quick to differentiate between music therapy and music as entertainment for the ill. He’s currently researching how music affects the frontal cortex and limbic system in people with posttraumatic stress disorder. “A lot of people feel music therapy is singing ‘Cumbaya’ and feeling good,” said Bailey. “So music therapy is working hard right now, as an industry, to get as much evidence-based research as possible out to get it up there with other therapies. And it’s a hard battle.” A statewide group called the Colorado Task Force for Music Therapy has been fighting for statewide “licensure” legislation, meaning a therapist couldn’t claim to be a music therapist unless they are boardcertified as such. Without such protection, most health insurance policies won’t cover music therapy, so less people who might benefit from it will find certified music therapists like Bailey. Three states in the U.S. — North Dakota, Nevada and Georgia — have passed licensure legislation since 2011. Muething, of the Hope Center, said her organization has seen the results of music and art therapy on mental illness. When people reach out for help here, she said, she wants them to have choices beyond traditional therapy and counseling. “In a world where the mental health system is broken and so many people are trying to be creative, we want to be one of those people,” she said. “We need to have options for them.” Aspen Strong, an online directory for mental health assistance that launched last year, also includes three local art therapists. “I feel like there’s a strong energy right now,” said Bailey. “People are coming together in the valley.”

DRAWING IT OUT

OUT OF HARMONY Meanwhile, one of the bedrock programs linking the arts to the medical field in the valley is going away. Holistic Harmony, a music program for patients at Valley View — founded in 2003 by radiation oncology nurse Lesa Russo — is in the midst of phasing out after 12 years. Russo, a former professional musician, began playing for patients and recruiting local players to join her in 2003. Several nights a week, musicians — a stable of 40-plus — could be seen making the evening rounds at the hospital, performing for patients and their families. In recent years, Russo has spoken at medical conferences about the program and the effect of music on her patients. At least a half-dozen similar programs have sprung up in Colorado since Russo formed Holistic Harmony. Over the years, it has included harpists, flautists, folk singers, a capella groups, and a choral group made up of hospital staff. “We would get called to people’s rooms who were down and needed some comfort,” she said. As other professional responsibilities are taking up more of her time, Russo said, she began phasing Holistic Harmony out in 2015. Holistic Harmony, Russo is quick to note, isn’t music therapy — it has simply been a way of brightening patients’ time in the hospital, offering a diversion, something to ease pain, which she describes as “an off-the-cuff, free spirit thing,” The small gesture of bringing songs from volunteer musicians to her patients has had some big impacts. Russo recalled an experience with a stroke victim, for instance, who wouldn’t so much as look at hospital staffers until a musician came to his room. “He was so angry at the world and he wouldn’t speak to anybody,” she recalled. “[The musician] happened to play ‘Danny Boy’ and this guy just rolled over and literally started singing with him. … It often just strikes a chord or a memory, and helps create a safe space.”

Like Bailey, art therapist Kym Allison began as an artist. She had been steeped in the alternative art scene in Denver, where she made a living in architecture. But after working on art projects with at-risk youth in Alamosa, she was inspired to go to graduate school and learn how to combine her artistic skills with effective therapy. Now in private art therapy practice based in Glenwood Springs, she has been seeing clients from the Youth Recovery Center for the last five years. In oneon-one sessions, she uses an art directive that’s specific to an issue a patient is facing. People who seemingly can’t talk about certain things often open up through art, she said. “It’s a softer way to deal with a topic, like addiction, that has a high level of shame associated with it,” she said. Adult clients, with all their defense mechanisms and neuroses firmly in place, are slower to open up than the kids she works with. “The most fearful look I’ve seen is when I put a piece of paper in front of an adult,” she said. With training in transformational counseling and art therapy, Allison uses art as a doorway into clients’ issues. It’s particularly effective for people in life transitions, she said, whether it’s divorce, adolescence, a midlife crises, recovering from brain injuries or trying to shake addiction.

“Part of it is me watching what they’re doing,” she explained. “Where do they start on the page? Is there a place they keep erasing? Is there a place they keep verbalizing what they’re doing? That helps identify what’s going on with them. Then, when I start talking to them I have clues and hints so that I can help draw things out and let them selfdiscover.” One client, she recalled, was a teenager with post-traumatic stress who was grieving over a relative who’d died in an accident. After making little progress in talk therapy, she asked him to draw a bridge, with himself somewhere in the picture. He made a stone bridge, with a tunnel underneath it, and himself at the end of the tunnel. “As we talked about the drawing he realized, ‘Hey, I’m in a lot better place than I thought I was,’” she recalled. “That’s all he needed. Soon he was going back to school and seemed to be off the substance abuse road. And that can happen. Sometimes it can happen that quickly.” Allison is hopeful that art therapy — in all its different forms — will continue to grow in prominence in the valley and beyond. “My hope and dream is that someday when people think of therapy and behavioral health, the last thing they would think about doing is just going and talking to somebody,” Allison said. “Talking is great. But it’s not the end all and be all. There are so many other ways to express ourselves.”

BOOK REVIEW

NOTEWORTHY

‘CALIFORNIA’ WHEN CORMAC MCCARTHY sent an unnamed father and son out to wander a post-apocalyptic landscape in his 2006 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “The Road,” he inadvertently created the template for one of contemporary fiction’s dominant themes. Among the spate of post-apocalyptic narratives that appeared in 2014 is “California,” the debut of Los Angeles-based writer Edan Lepucki. Lepucki, along with other recent post-apocalyptic tour guides, echoes McCarthy on a few points: In the future, there will be no Internet, finding enough food will require constant effort, people will sift through relics of fallen civilizations for useful materials, and the roads will be beset by highwaymen. (In California, they’re called pirates.) But while McCarthy keeps his

dealer who trades Frida some Vicodin for a bra, “made of fabric and wire, both valuable,” he says. In plain, straightforward prose, Lepucki deftly notches up the tension when Frida discovers she’s pregnant and she and Cal set off into the woods hoping to find a settlement. Sometimes the characters’ motivations are murky and their beliefs confusingly mercurial, and the ending is a puzzler, but California is both diverting and thoughtful. It leaves you with the notion that maybe the post-apocalypse genre isn’t new-fangled after all, but rather a fresh reimagining of a classic Western theme: Every man for himself against nature.

characters in constant motion, Lepucki’s protagonists, Cal and Frida, a young married couple, are determined to find a safe place to settle down. Through flashbacks, we learn that they fled the nightmarish Los Angeles of a few decades from now and drove into the wilderness until their car ran out of gas. Frida has a city dweller’s limited outdoor survival skills, but Cal has learned a few useful crafts like farming and carpentry. When winter closes in, they’re lucky enough to find an empty shack for shelter.
