25 COVER STORY For children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, the idea of a mountain vacation may seem like a pipe dream. But thanks to the Shining Stars Foundation, each year that dream actually comes true for a group of these kids. As Aspen Times Weekly Editor Jeanne McGovern explains, the recent Aspen Winter Games week is about something greater than these children and their journeys — it’s about offering hope, building community and just letting kids be kids.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

ART CALL IT MARCH MADNESS. The end of the month

brings a lot of action to the Aspen Art Museum, with three new exhibition openings — including an ambitious show that will evolve over the next six months — and two film screenings. It’s your last chance to see “The Future Yesterday,” a collection of film and video pieces by 10 artists from six countries with narratives set in the Middle East. Running just under two hours, it includes Moroccan flea markets, an Egyptian power plant, and a Dubai aquarium among its subjects and settings. The art film screened at the museum for a stretch early this winter and is on the tail end of its encore installation, which ends March 29. In conjunction with “The Future Yesterday,” the museum, on Friday, March 27, is screening “Lebanese Rocket Society,” a film about the students and scientists who developed a space program in 1960s Lebanon. Friday also marks the beginning of “Stories We Tell Ourselves,” a show that will unfold narratively over time until October, exploring the relationship between art and language. It features work by Anthony Discenza, Miranda July, and Louise Lawler, Yoko Ono and other artists who have used language as a medium. Rodney McMillian, the acclaimed Los Angeles-based mixed-genre artist, offers his take on landscape in “Landscape Paintings,” opening Friday and running through June 28. And the group show, “Second Chances,” will also be unveiled Friday. The exhibition includes works exploring the idea of fresh starts. It runs through late June, and the museum will host an art talk by museum CEO Heidi Zuckerman on June 4. The museum will host a reception for all three new shows at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 26. More information at www. aspenartmuseum.org

Strange fruit hang again from southern trees A BLACK MAN NAMED OTIS BYRD was found hanging from a tree last week in a rural section of western Mississippi. A quick search of the Internet shows that this was the second time, as far as we know, that a black man was hanged in the south within the past year. The first was in North Carolina, in August of 2014, when a 17-year-old boy named Lennon Lacy was found hanging from a swing set in the town of Bladenboro. Lacy was a popular high school football player, according to published reports, and said to be an unlikely candidate for suicide. Nevertheless, the local law concluded that he hanged himself, citing a telephone call to police from a 52-year-old woman who said she saw it happen. Local cops also decided he killed himself because he was upset by the recent death of an uncle he was close to, though Lacy’s mother rejected that idea completely. Turned out Lacy was dating an older white woman from the same town, which some said could have been a motive for a lynching. And an independent investigator reportedly found lots of holes in the work done by local and state law enforcement, such as the lack of anything for young Lacy to stand on while tying the belt that hung him onto a beam that stood 7 1/2 feet off the ground. Lacy was only 5 feet, 9 inches tall. His family also said they never saw that belt before, nor the white, size 10 1/2 shoes he was wearing when he died. His size-12 Air Jordans had disappeared. Plus, according to a published update on the matter, a state investigator threatened to take away the camera of the medical examiner who responded to the scene if the examiner took any photos of the young man’s body. So there are no photos of how he was found. And the state investigator also said there would be no autopsy performed on Lacy’s body. The FBI announced at the end of last year that they weren’t convinced Lacy hung himself, and the investigation continues. In the case of Otis Byrd, there also are many questions. He went missing on March 2, when he reportedly was dropped off by a friend at a casino in Vicksburg, something he apparently did now and then. His family reported him missing about a week later, but state authorities were not notified until a week after that, and he wasn’t found until March 19, hanging by a rope made of bedsheets from a tree

in a dense forest about a half a mile from his home. As with Tracy’s death, local authorities are trying to wrap the case up as a suicide, but others aren’t so sure that is what happened. I don’t know what to think, but I certainly am appalled by the news that strange fruit are once again hanging from trees in the south. For those unfamiliar with the term, it was the title of a song recorded in 1939 by Billie Holliday. It was written two years earlier as a poem by a teacher named Abel Meeropol, to protest lynchings of black Americans. To be sure, neither of these cases may turn out to have been a lynching, but the places where they happened were once famous for such ugly demonstrations of man’s inhumanity to man. And these historic lynchings went hand in hand with that bizarrely American institution, legalized, institutional slavery, which arose with the cotton industry in the 1700s and 1800s. It was the institution of slavery that allowed the cotton industry to thrive, and thereby permitted cotton planters to live a wealthy, leisurely and profligate lifestyle. And it likely was anger over the end of that lifestyle that led to the rise of the Ku Klux Klan after the Civil War, along with the wholesale lynching of black men. According to a new report out this year, there were nearly 4,000 “racial terror lynchings” in a dozen southern states between 1877 and 1952. That’s a lot of strange fruit. Anyway, to return to the present, the timing of these recent incidents could not be much worse. The U.S. economy is staggering along after the recession, the number of poor people is rising, and the gap between rich and poor is widening, along with a growing generalized sense of anger and frustration that nearly always has accompanied such times. Add to that powderkeg the mounting frustration and rage about continuing racial inequality, and the sum of it all is not a pleasant prospect. No wonder the local law is desperately trying to squash any idea that the hanging of two black men was the work of lynch mobs. Because if that idea starts to grow it could easily take on a life of its own, regardless of whether the evidence points instead to suicide, and that could lead to an outpouring of the kind of rage we haven’t seen on a large scale since the middle of the last century. And there’s no telling where that might take us.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Goldfield, Nevada, as seen in this 1907 photo, attracted Aspen’s miners.

BOOM AND SHRINK Mythology claims that Aspen was a boom-and-bust mining town. As this story goes, events of 1893 brought about a precipitous falloff in population. Actually, the bust more closely resembled death by a thousand cuts. Post-1893 attrition continued for 25 years, followed by a rapid population decline in 1919.

Repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act in 1893 knocked the foundation out from under the price of silver and dealt a blow to western silver mining. Mines closed and thousands of miners lost their jobs. The entire nation was in recession, with the Panic of 1893 ranking second only to the Great Depression. National unemployment rose to 18 perent, and ran as high as 43 percent in Michigan. But Aspen’s miners returned to work before many laborers in nonmining cities found employment. The quality of Aspen’s silver ore was so high that many mines survived the price drop, and more silver was mined after 1894 than before. Aspen constructed its longest tunnels, most expensive trams, and much of its most sophisticated infrastructure after 1894. Major mines such as the Smuggler supported operations for another 25 years.

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

Several factors contributed to Aspen’s population fall-off after the peak of 1893. Each diminished the population over time. As silver profits declined, many of Aspen’s miners and businesses departed for the same reason they had arrived: Cripple Creek, a gold mining town, had become the newest, biggest boom. In 1897, some residents trekked to Alaska for the Yukon gold rush, though it appears most returned to the city later. Altogether, Aspen lost about 20 percent of its population between 1894 and 1900. Nevada gold rushes of the early 1900s seduced Aspenites to Goldfield, Tonopah, and Rhyolite. Other residents moved to lower Western Slope elevations to follow a boom in agricultural production in fruit orchards. When the Panic of 1907 slowed Aspen mining, some residents left to seek non-mining

Mar ch 26 - Apr il 1 , 2015

jobs. Twenty-five percent of Aspen’s remaining population moved away between 1900 and 1910. The bust myth frames miners as western wanderers, players in our nation’s Manifest Destiny. But most Aspen miners were industrial laborers, family men. Strong unions attracted a large and committed labor pool. The Panic of 1893 decreased the power of unions and Aspen’s largest employers changed employment practices. Contract work with lower hourly wages became more common. The last drain of Aspen’s population was simply a matter of family finances. Copper was second only to gold for profitability at that time. While Aspen’s wages froze at $3.50 a day, copper mines in Montana and Arizona paid up to $5.50. Family men moved to Butte to earn better wages. There were spurts of exits from

Aspen, and years of new arrivals and returns to the city. Overall, the events of 1894 led to a 20-year trickling-away. An average of 2 percent of the population moved elsewhere each year. Aspen survived the Panic of 1893, the Recession of 1904-1905, and the Panic of 1907. Its major mines did not bottom out until around 1918. Then the cessation of larage-scale mining, combined with the 1918 influenza, brought about an immediate 80 percent drop in population, a true bust.

Time 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.

1955 ASPEN

ON SEPTEMBER 22, 1955, the Aspen Daily Times reported on a successful fundraising campaign in Pitkin County by the American Cancer Society. According to the paper, the organization’s 1955 Crusade in Colorado “has oversubscribed its quota of $217,000, it was announced this week by T. Arthur Williams, State Chairman. The national goal was $24,000,000. The State Chairman praised volunteer workers in this county, headed by Chairman Mrs. Euclid Worden, who reported a total of $930 raised in the county. The quota here was $425. ‘Your entire community can well be proud of its record in aiding the war against cancer,’ Williams said. ‘Every realm of your community did a splendid job which shows that the contributing public is aware of the cancer menace and is sufficiently aroused to do something about fighting it.’” The photo above shows Ned Greenslit, president of the Colorado chapter of the American Cancer Society, presenting the “Over the Quota” award to Barbara Worden in front of The Aspen Times, 1955.

FOOTWEAR MADE OF CORD

www.keenfootwear.com

KEEN INC. IS NOT AFRAID of healthy self-deprecation. Founded in 2003, the company once reported its original footwear were deemed by a customer as “the ugliest thing [he] had ever seen.” Earlier this month, I interviewed a KEEN designer, Rory Fuerst, Jr., about a new shoe called the UNEEK, which is made of cord. “It’s a total love or hate shoe,” Fuerst said. “People are like ‘That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen,’ or ‘I hate that, I want to beat up the guy who designed it.’” I am typing this column in a pair of the UNEEKs. They are indeed original. No traditional shoe machinery or conventional footwear materials are used in the design. Instead, a macramé of cord that is looped and tied is the totality of the upper shoe. In 2003, KEEN got the last laugh with its “ugly” sandal, which featured an oversize toe bumper. It went on to be among the

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

Mar ch 26 - Apr il 1 , 2015

hottest-selling shoes of the decade. The company is hoping for another unexpected hit with the UNEEK. Though I have not heard any “I’d-like-to-beatthat-designer-up” type of comment, while wearing the cord-shoes around I have received a variety of verbal feedback. My impression, at first blush, was of surprise, maybe some shock. They looked crafty, handmade, and somehow related to a paracord survival bracelet. They also appeared to be possibly uncomfortable -- so many rub points with all that moving cord. So far, having hiked a few miles in the shoes, I can attest that blisters are not an issue. The 3mm cord is not abrasive. With its many free-moving loops, the uppers flex with your feet. For fun, I also ran five miles in the shoes. Fit was precise on my foot, and even after 40 minutes of movement over pavement

and on trails the shoes felt fine. Granted, they are not made for running; I used the afternoon jog as a litmus. The sole, while flexible and cradling of the foot, is not built for pounding on a run. The upper has a sandal feel and is super airy -- move your foot and you get wind on your toes from all directions. Overall, they are solid all-around outdoor shoes, and you can wear them with socks or barefoot. One warning: Look out for errant pebbles and sand, which can work in through the open cord. UNEEK shoes cost $100 and come in 14 colors for men and women. They are something new and “unique,” no doubt. Look for the “love or hate shoe,” as Fuerst put it, at stores starting this month. Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

WINEINK

ALTERNATIVES TO BOTTLES? OF ALL THE WINE PACKAGES ON THE MARKET these days, one can seriously argue that the cans coming from Ben Parson’s Infinite Monkey Theorem wines in Denver are the most, well … unique. Short and thin, they can’t be confused with beer cans. And the graphics, IMT’s signature KELLY J. HAYES benevolent monkey, give them a kind of decadent, primal look that is more in keeping with the urban ethos espoused by Parsons and IMT than the pastoral images conveyed by the graphics on most wine bottles. Make no mistake, the IMT cans represent a new look for something that is very old indeed. Wine, it is thought, has been stored in glass bottles since the Romans began blowing glass in, oh, about the first century A.D. The oldest bottle of wine currently in “our” possession was unearthed in Germany in 1867 and has been authenticated as having been produced in or about 325 A.D. The “Speyer” wine, as it is called, still exists in its original 1.5 ml bottle waiting to be unsealed. Yes, it is

topped, not with cork, but with a wax seal. With nearly 17 centuries of history behind it, you would think the tradition of the glass wine bottle might be a bit tough to tussle with. But the times, they are a changing, and a number of entrepreneurs are using a variety of innovative devices to package wines more ecologically, more efficiently and more economically. In wine bars and restaurants, wines are increasingly poured from kegs and taps. And if you walk into wine and liquor stores, you’ll find that shelf space is being gobbled up more and more by the presence of box wines. Last week, wine giant E.&J. Gallo announced it will be jumping into the box wine business when it introduces Vin Vault in April. Vin Vault will sell three-liter boxes of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Malbec and a Red Blend for $20. Stephanie Gallo, the vice president of marketing at the company started by her grandfather and great uncle during prohibition, said recently in the Shanken News Daily, an industry diary, “There’s a sea change occurring in consumers’ perception of wine. It’s becoming

Infinite Monkey Theorem’s canned wines.

a casual social beverage as an adjunct to the dinner table.” The wine-in-a box business has boomed in recent years. Constellation, another industry behemoth, sold 4 million cases of its Black Box brand last year and anticipates more than 20 percent growth in 2014. Bota Box saw an 18 percent increase in 2014 to 3 million cases. That’s a lot of wine. So what’s the draw for the box migration? Cost, taste and simplicity for starters. Box wines are much less expensive to package and ship, which makes producers happy and drops the price to consumers. Secondly, the quality of all wines has improved greatly over the years and the consistency of flavor that large producers can provide for a palatable price is probably better than at any time in history. If the wines weren’t good then, no one would buy them. Finally, boxes make it easy for consumers to buy, store and forget about until they want the next glass. Shelf life for an open box is four to six weeks. Oh, and you can forget about cork taint. The canned wine game, while growing, still has not seen the kind of explosion in growth as boxes. IMT first canned wines back in 2011 when they introduced a black Muscat. Buoyed by buyers, and the conversation that has ensued, they have decided

to double down, or, actually, quadruple down, on the emerging trend. Last Halloween, fittingly for Parsons, a party was held in Denver at IMT’s River North Arts District-based winery to introduce the new four-pack packages featuring wine in cans. A red, a white, a rosé and a Moscato, all slightly frizzante, are sold in 250-milliliter cans for $15. Add it up and the four-pack equals a full bottle and a quarter and represents a bargain. The goal is to expand the market for the canned wines to a number of other states, including Texas where IMT has sights set on a tasting room in Austin. Infinite Monkey Theorem has done an outstanding job building a lifestyle brand around their wines. A brand that uses all aspects of their culture, from where they source their grapes to where they produce their wines to how they package them, to make a statement. While I wouldn’t expect to see California cult cabs or first growth Bordeaux in anything other than bottles anytime soon, it is clear that after 17 centuries or so, the packaging of wine is getting a face lift.

A HIGH-FAT DIET MAY BE THE SECRET TO ATHLETE ENDURANCE IMAGINE EATING a plate of cheesy whole eggs with bacon and sliced avocado, alongside coffee with heavy cream, for breakfast. At lunch, consume a handful of nuts and a huge salad topped with chicken, salami, or tuna salad. Dinner is fatty, well-marbled steak or sautéed calf’s liver with a side of sautéed vegetables drenched in butter. Quash errant hunger pangs — though AMANDA RAE unlikely with all this rich food — with some cheese, chicken liver pâté, or a few spoonfuls of almond butter. Cap the evening with a glass of red wine or a few squares of dark chocolate. When in doubt, put a pat of butter on it. “In general, I find that this diet is very palatable and even indulgent,” writes Canadian sports physician and endurance athlete Andy Reed on his website. “If I’m on top of things, I’ll get about 75 percent of my daily calories from fat sources.” In 2013, Reed crushed the Four Peaks race in Alberta, setting a time record to boot.

to a revolutionary program called Optimized Fat Metabolism (OFM), a style of eating meant to re-train the body to burn fat, not carbohydrates, for fuel. (“Eat Butter,” proclaimed the cover of TIME magazine in June.) Other athletes, from figure skaters to ultra-marathoners to boxers, are following suit, leading researchers to discover that the human body may be able to process fat at a higher rate than previously thought possible. It’s this controversial topic that nutritionist and OFM champion Peter Defty will explore at the inaugural Aspen Sports Summit, a convocation of health, fitness, medicine, and sports training held at the Aspen Meadows Resort this weekend. “No matter what conference I go to, nutrition always seems to trip people up,” says Bill Fabrocini, Aspen Sports Summit founder and former director of the Aspen Club’s Sports Performance Program. “We know plants are good for us. We know processed sugar is bad for you. [Defty] has [athletes] on a feeding plan that’s 80 percent fat. They’re training their body to turn fat to fuel,

and they’re setting world records, it’s amazing.” Fabrocini calls OFM “a paradigm shift on the horizon in sports physiology, nutrition, and metabolism.” Here’s some of what Defty will discuss during his presentation on Saturday at the Aspen Sports Summit.

OFM IS BACKED BY NEW RESEARCH In 2010, Stephen Phinney, MD/ PhD and Jeff Volek RD/PhD, leading researchers in the field of ketogenic diets, conducted a study called FASTER (Fat-Adapted Substrate oxidation in Trained Elite Runners) that compares physiological differences between elite male ultra-marathon runners who followed a conventional highcarbohydrate diet with those on a fat-adapted, low-carb strategy. They determined that a fat-fueled lifestyle offers a competitive edge.

HOW OFM IS REVOLUTIONARY “Data shows that humans can burn fat at a much higher rate than we previously thought possible,” Defty says. “Right now, current sports

nutrition literature says humans can only burn up to one gram of fat per minute. Most athletes in the FASTER study were burning a mean of 1.54 grams/minute. One guy was burning 1.8 grams/minute! A properly implemented Paleo-style diet in conjunction with an active lifestyle gets you back to where your body wants to burn fat.”

HOW IT’S DIFFERENT FROM A PALEO LIFESTYLE Little to no fruit; dairy is allowed. Whole food, whole animal — including organ meats, skin, and connective tissue. “You get to eat a lot of luxurious food,” Defty says. “Pâté, foie gras, whole eggs and bacon, quiche, omelets. Fatty cuts of meat, chicken, duck, fish, salmon with hollandaise. Steamed asparagus or broccoli with butter, Brussels sprouts with bacon bits. Rich custards, crème brulee, cheesecake without a lot of sugar. It’s a rich diet.”

WHO BENEFITS FROM OFM Active Aspenites can do this, Defty says. “A good level of fitness is someone in half-marathon shape — you can go out for two, two-anda-half hours on a hike or a jog or go garden for three to four hours and not have hunger pangs.” Gender matters, too. “It’s a lot easier for me than it is for a female,” Defty says, due to biological hardwiring.

SURPRISE! THE TRANSITION MAY BE TOUGH “That physiological response, when you take away the addictive substance, is powerful,” Defty says. “You don’t associate carbohydrates — amber waves of grain; wholegrain goodness — with heroin or cocaine or nicotine. [But] too much carbohydrate in the diet for some people is just like any drug.”

ARE CARBS THE ENEMY? “In today’s modern diet, we’re eating way more carbohydrates than we should. Humans ate concentrated carbohydrates three to four times a year, when berries or fruit were ripe; we weren’t eating it three to five times a day for decades. You have to think of carbohydrates as sugar.

to,” Defty says. “When insulin levels get down to where you can release the fat, you can’t access the fuel you want to — carbs. That can be somewhat stressful.”

March 27 and 28 Aspen Meadows Resort 970-920-2064 aspensportssummit.com

THERE ARE PSYCHOLOGICAL UNDERPINNINGS This is oversimplifying, but one of the main drivers of fat accumulation is insulin, a hormone that’s trying to do its job. If you have too much sugar in your system, it can kill you. It’s a toxic load, but we don’t notice it because our body secretes insulin, which drives that blood sugar down and shuts down your ability to burn fat.”

SATURATED FATS MAY BE YOUR FRIEND “We burn saturated fats cleaner and better than polyunsaturated

fats,” Defty explains. “This is esoteric science that’s not in the media yet. You don’t have oxidative stress or the lactate load. Because you’re burning it, it doesn’t accumulate in your arteries or your heart.”

A HIGH-FAT DIET MAY STRESS THE BODY — INITIALLY “When you induce the physiological shift back to burning fat as fuel, you’re taking away the energy source your body has adapted

“Because nutrition is so key to survival, if we’ve been led to believe something and fear other things, it’s really hard to dislodge that,” Defty explains. “We fear fat, we fear salt, we fear not having carbohydrates. Jeff Volek is leading the science. I’ve been saying this for seven years. When you’re way ahead of the science, people think you’re a heretic. It’s tough to convince people there’s a better way out there.”

“WHEN IN DOUBT, ADD A PAT OF BUTTER.”

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

SMOKE ON THE WATER The mixologists down at Woody Creek Distillers aren’t afraid to experiment with their eponymous vodka and rye whiskey. Of course that’s not difficult when you’re working with awardwinning spirits; the company’s new Colorado Straight Rye Whiskey, which was launched in November, recently received recognition from the Tastings International Review of Spirits, with a gold medal and rating of 90 points. “We are thrilled to have received this

MAKE IT

recognition from the Beverage Tasting Institute,” said Woody Creek Distillers Operating Partner Mark Kleckner.

Woody Creek Distillers’ Rye Whiskey Apricot preserves Lemon Agave nectar Barrel-aged tobacco bitters

“We have gotten great feedback from everyone from bartenders to the public and quickly sold out of our first years’ production.” One of the bartenders’ favorites: Smoke on the Water. Crafted with apricot preserves, lemon, agave nectar and barrel-aged tobacco bitters, this light whiskey drink is complex with sweet, tart and smoky flavors. Try one at the Woody Creek Distillers tasting room or mix it up home. Libations was created by beloved Aspen Times publisher Gunilla Asher, who died June 2 after a brave battle with cancer. Cheers - to Gunner!

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

Performers at the Aspen Cares Theatrical Fashion Show.

LUCKY

ASPEN CARES FASHION SHOW FINISHES STRONG SATURDAY NIGHT BROUGHT ON heaps of anxiety, as well as large amounts of excitement. The moment we all spent endless hours preparing for had finally arrived, and we knew it would be over before there was even a full chance to acknowledge it. I paused to collect my thoughts only briefly in a chair at Salon Myo. There BARBARA was an hour left until PLATTS doors opened at the Belly Up and I was shocked at the sight I saw before me in the mirror. I had long, black hair extensions that went down to my belly button. My pale Irish skin was lightly tinted and aglow from the spray-on tan I had gotten earlier that day. And my makeup was caked on heavily, my eyes looking larger than ever with fake eyelashes attached. I rarely even remember to brush my hair in the morning and I typically only wear makeup once or twice a week. And the spray-on tan? Well that was entirely out of character. I was staring at a very different version of myself in the mirror, but I was intrigued by the transformation. Preparing for this night has taken a great amount of my time in the past month.

So much so that this is the second time I’m writing about it in my column, because frankly, very little else has been on my mind as of late. Often times during the month, friends would ask me why I decided to get involved in such an intense project since it was taking up so much of my free time. I suppose part of the reason was because I was excited to get on a stage and strut my stuff. But really, I felt incredibly fortunate to be able to be involved in something this extensive. For me, it was a privilege, not a chore. We spent night after night mastering the choreography, memorizing our blocking and familiarizing ourselves with the music. But getting to know our characters and the story behind them was the real challenge for me, and the real reward. Each person had a story from the emotionally abusive bad boy to the shy girl overcoming depression. It centered on all of our struggles, but showed how community, love and acceptance could help to ease those struggles. I took on the character of the loner, the outcast that got bullied. Part of the reason that character was incorporated into the show was because of one of the beneficiaries, the Aspen Hope Center, a nonprofit in the Roaring Fork Valley that works to help those in emotional

crisis and to decrease the stigma of mental illness. The Hope Center has found that bullying is a large problem in schools in the area. Volunteers and employees from the center spend a lot of time talking to children and teenagers about ways to prevent it. I hadn’t experienced much bullying when I was young, however, as I began to take on the role of the loner, I started to feel like this character, recoiling in front of a large group when they stared at me and often staying oddly quiet during rehearsals. Others came alive in their characters. Some had never even been on stage before and were down to their bras and underwear in front of a captive audience, shaking their asses confidently. No matter the person’s story, I was so impressed with how we were all able to own our characters, taking on both their weaknesses and their strengths. We are lucky to have such a philanthropic-minded community. A list I received a few months ago from the Aspen Community Foundation has more than 400 nonprofit organizations in the Roaring Fork Valley on it. There are endless opportunities to get involved and make a difference. This particular mission, Aspen Cares, benefitted Aspen Hope Center, Telluride AIDS Benefit, WestCap, AspenOut and Aspen

Community Health. By the time the show was over on Saturday, we were all on cloud nine. Adrenaline and excitement were high and we were eager to celebrate together. It felt so rewarding to see how 30-plus people started as individuals and ended the evening coalesced together as one supportive unit. We had found love and acceptance in a group of young Aspenites who had little idea what they were getting into when they auditioned a month ago for a fashion show. More so than the cast growing together, we helped to identify and support organizations that have made it their mission to help people overcome mental and sexual struggles similar to the ones we presented on stage. I felt lucky to be a part of the show because it reiterated something to me that I often forget: Love and friendship have the power to conquer all. I hope our audience was able to take that away from the evening as well.

Barbara Platts may very well be hooked on spray tanning after last week’s fashion show. Only time will tell. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com or on Twitter @BarbaraPlatts.

STAR POWER

SHINING STARS OFFERS HOPE AND HAPPINESS TO A SPECIAL GROUP OF KIDS by JEANNE MCGOVERN

ON FIRST BLUSH, IT SEEMS TO BE JUST ANOTHER APRÈS-SKI SCENE AT THE BASE OF BUTTERMILK. Boots are flying off feet and skis are stored for the night, snacks are ripped open and tales of the day are bantered about at high volume. Kids are everywhere; the day on the slopes hasn’t zapped their energy. Some play video games, another practices tricks with his Yo-Yo, and a group takes turns doing front flips into a mountain of brightly colored beanbags. Of course there are signs this isn’t your ordinary ski camp. In the corner is a jumbled pile of sit-skis, ski bikes, sleds and tethers. In the middle of the room, a physical therapist helps a young girl stretch her legs. And, on the wall, posters are filled with names and faces. One features the Shining Stars — the group of kids who are in Aspen for a week of adventure. Another tells us which doctors and nurses are there to care for those kids — the medical staff are all volunteers, and they come from hundred of miles away to provide treatment and ensure the kids stay healthy enough to enjoy the experience. “The way people join together to support these kids, and the way these kids blossom as a result, astonishes me every year,” says Kathy Gingery, executive director of the Shining Stars Foundation, which sponsors several programs for children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases (see Need To Know, page 27). “It is a gift to everyone — especially the kids.”

REALITY CHECK

TRUE GRIT Looking around the Tiehack Room at the Inn at Aspen, Josh appears to be just another teenage guy. He’s tall and strong; he has a sly smile yet looks you in the eye when he speaks. But the crutches Josh uses to walk across the room and the prosthetic leg peeking out beneath the leg of his jeans tell a different story. Sure, Josh is still just another teenage guy. But he has a powerful story to share. The 18-year-old lost his leg to a form of bone cancer, which he discovered after a pain in his leg kept increasing as he walked daily to his job at the Wal-Mart in Stirling, Colorado. “Being my stubborn self, I finally went to the doctor,” laughs Josh, who before his diagnosis says he was just a regular kid. “And that was that.” Over the course of treatment at Children’s Hospital Colorado, which Josh completed in December, his leg was amputated at the knee. It is an experience that has given Josh wisdom beyond his years. He is friendly and welcomes our questions about how he discovered the cancer and his struggle to beat the disease. He also shares his advice to the younger Shining Stars kids about the journey they are facing. “I tell them it’s a battle,” he says, but quickly shifts the mood, “and that spicy food is good with milk.” During his week with the Shining Stars in Aspen, Josh says his favorite activity was going snowmobiling and using a “ski bike” to navigate his way down Buttermilk. And true to his nature, Josh was honored during the week with the Shining Stars “frog hat,” which is given to kids who exhibit extreme kindness. It is passed on daily; and while you may think the counselors award the hat to the kids, the kids actually pass the hat along from kid to kid. Josh received the hat on his second day in Aspen. “It’s been a great experience,” says Josh. “The whole week, the people here, everything …”

KIDS BEING KIDS Indeed, the Shining Stars Aspen Winter Camp, which culminated last week with the Aspen Winter Games ski race, is about giving these kids a chance to just be kids — if only for a week. They ski and snowboard with the help of volunteer adaptive instructors; they go on outings like snowmobiling, Ultimate Taxi rides and more; they eat, laugh and get to know kids who are just like them. And they do it all without their parents hovering over them. “That is the magic,” says Gingery, who says the organization made a conscious decision to have it be a kids-only week. “When these kids are away from their parents, they can really just be kids; and parents, they need a break, too.” Dr. Tom Smith agrees that, in many ways, the Shining Stars setting and philosophy is the best medicine. “What this program does for the kids mentally is far more important that what it does physically,” says Smith, a pediatric oncologist from Children’s Hospital Colorado who became involved with the Shining Stars after seeing its positive effect on so many of his patients. “I can honestly say that every patient I’ve been lucky enough to send here has come back a changed person. “And that is so important for the kids and these families.”

Fun and games aside, the Shining Stars Foundation is about supporting kids who are very ill. They are chosen for the program by their medical teams at a select group of hospitals. All are in the midst of a battle; 80 percent are in active treatment while in Aspen. Sometimes the reality of the situation is gutwrenching. “We are like our own mobile medical unit; the kids get their treatments right here — in a nonhospital setting for the most part. And that is so important. But sometimes, things do happen,” says Gingery, when asked what happens if a child gets sick while in Aspen. “For example, we did have a child come down with a fever and have to go to the hospital this morning.” Unfortunately, that child’s prognosis was not good before coming to Aspen, Gingery says with a hint of sadness in her voice. But then, she offers this story: “He was scheduled for a biopsy, and the news was likely to not be positive,” she says. “His mom didn’t want him to come here, but he said he wanted to; he had to. He chose to wait on the biopsy so he could just be here.” For this child, the week at Shining Stars could well have been one last week filled with joy away from a clinical setting. “He was so happy here, smiling the whole time. He was weak, but so strong at the same time,” she says. “You could just see how happy he was to be part of this. “Knowing that we don’t know how his life will turn out is so challenging, but to be able to give him this gift now is what we focus on. It’s what matters most.”

NEED TO KNOW The Shining Stars Foundation offers several programs in support of children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases and their families, including: ASPEN WINTER CAMP: The Aspen Winter Games Program is an eight-day adaptive snowboard and ski recreation program held every year for more than 200 participants, including children, their medical team, instructors and volunteers. Over 80 percent of participants are on active treatment for their illness. The emphasis of the week is on empowering each child and giving them a sense of hope, by pushing them to accomplish things on the mountain that they never thought possible. Activities also bond children with one another, giving them life-long relationships through which they gain strength and support for the journey ahead. Each child learns to focus on all that they can do, rather than their limitations. ASPEN SUMMER ADVENTURE: A weeklong program for children ages 8-14 designed to foster new relationships between participants, while giving them challenging and unique experiences. Activities include rock climbing and rappelling, outdoor education, team building activities, rafting, therapeutic arts and crafts, paddle boarding, horseback riding, hiking, challenge courses, and more.

BUILDING BONDS With all these competing emotions, a week with the Shining Stars is truly a balancing act. And it’s one the organization has mastered with grace, according to many involved in its 25-year evolution. “We are legally and morally responsible for these children,” says Dr. Larry McCleary, medical director for the Shining Stars. “And that is a big responsibility. But it’s also an honor. The team we work with to make this happen each year amazes me; everyone is so dedicated to these kids and making this experience positive.” And it is almost always, without a doubt, a positive experience. “I’ve sent patients to, and been a part of, many of these types of programs for kids,” says Smith. “And I can say that Shining Stars is the best one out there. It just is.” Gingery attributes the success to the

volunteers and Aspen community. In addition to the physicians, nurses and ski instructors who work for free, the community donates food, activities and more. And, local kids play a role in making sure the Shining Stars’ kids get as much as possible out of their week in our mountain playground. “We touch the lives of hundreds of people each year,” Gingery says. “And sometimes I think the kids in the Aspen schools, the volunteers, the community at large, gets as much out of our program as the participants.” Participants like Jay, Emily, Natalie, Carson, Josh and dozens of others, who leave Aspen saying things such as this: “It’s been an amazing week; I really can’t describe it all,” says 18-yearold Josh (see True Grit, page 26). “At the end of the day, I am just grateful to be here.” jmcgovern@aspentimes.com

KIDS HELPING KIDS: This program engages high school, middle school, and elementary students from throughout Colorado as volunteers with the Shining Stars Foundation in a variety of projects and roles. Last year, more than 2,700 kids were served throughout Colorado. ABOVE, BELOW: Shining Stars participants and volunteers enjoyed a week filled with activities on and off the slopes, allowing kids with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses the chance to just be kids. MIDDLE, RIGHT: Volunteers with the Shining Stars served up smoothies, shakes and root beer floats to participants and the public daily at the base of Buttermilk.

GRAND COUNTY FAMILY ADVENTURE: A five-day summertime adventure offered each summer to the children the foundation serves and their entire family, at no cost to participants. This program has become one of the organization’s largest, catering to 250-plus children and family members from across the country. FAMILY WELLNESS AND SUPPORT: Throughout the year, the foundation hosts single-day events, which all Shining Stars and their families are invited to. Activities have included days at the zoo, professional sporting events, a holiday party, toy drive, concerts, theater productions, and more. Last year, more than 60 different events were offered through this program. As a nonprofit, the foundation is supported by a network of volunteers, as well as donations from individuals, businesses and other philanthropic organizations.

VOYAGES

ESCAPE ARTIST | DONNA KARAN’S URBAN ZEN

by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY

THE TRAVEL INSPIRATION BEHIND DONNA KARAN’S URBAN ZEN ON A SUNNY MARCH AFTERNOON I stepped into fashion designer Donna Karan’s Urban Zen store on Dean Street, just steps from the gondola. Dressed in black, I found her sitting among her team, on furniture she herself designed in Bali. Known as the “Queen of Seventh Avenue,” and the “America’s Coco Chanel,” Karan has been a bastion of AMIEE WHITE womenswear for more BEAZLEY than four decades. Today she is turning that legacy of design and commerce into something for the greater good. In 2001, after losing her husband and business partner Stephan Weiss to lung cancer, Karan was compelled to create the Urban Zen Foundation which funds integrative health care, combining eastern and western modalities such as yoga, meditation and reflexology. The foundation trains teams of caregivers, often family members of patients, as well as doctors and nurses to provide a more personal and spiritual approach to

healthcare. To help fund the foundation, Karan created the Urban Zen retail store. The retail stores, with shops in Sag Harbor and New York City, in addition to Aspen, sell a combination of her clothing, furniture designs and a collection of home, art and accessories by artists and artisans Karan has discovered or helped mentor in both Bali and Haiti. “For me, Urban Zen is community-driven,” Karan says. “It’s not only about clothes; it’s about philanthropy and commerce coming together, dressing and addressing people. The concept is creating a community of consciousness and change in the past — in preservation of culture — the present and future in health care, in education, in mind, body and spirt. And who doesn’t like to shop and make a difference in the world?” While Bali is a place where Karan can see herself living “in a nanosecond,” it is Haiti that has captured her time and attention. Since the 2010 earthquake, Karan has been traveling to Haiti quarterly

(first with the Clinton Foundation) to work with local artisans. Inspired by the people and the artistry she discovered on her first visit, she began to invest in the artisans, providing micro-loans and offering them design and business expertise. “What I saw there was limitless potential,” says Karan. “I thought there might be an area of artists, but didn’t realize the entire country was full of artists.” She is such a strong believer in the design potential of Haiti, Karan is opening a design/business school in Port-au-Prince called D.O.T (Design Organizational Training). Karan’s mission is to educate the Haitian people and help them develop an economically feasible contemporary design industry. D.O.T. is slated to open in June. To help with teaching the artisans, this fall Karan is launching a new program at Parsons The New School for Design (her alma mater). The graduate program will send a select group to Haiti where they will teach modern design concepts to D.O.T. students. The resulting work (accessories,

jewelry, home décor, furniture) will be produced and sold at her three Urban Zen boutiques, as well as other high-end design stores worldwide. (100 percent of profits return to Haiti.) Karan hopes the Haitian experience will also teach the Parsons students, “what took me my whole career to understand,” that quality design is not confined to Seventh Avenue, it comes from all corners of the world. “In my big picture dream, I see building a community like what John (Hardy) did in Bali,” she says. “Where people could live, have access to education and healthcare centers. To me creating community is the most important thing. Community creates the change. We all need education. We all need healthcare, and we all need to be inspired.” Amiee White Beazley writes about travel for the Aspen Times Weekly. Reach her at awb@awbeazley.com or follow her @awbeazley1.

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE

by ANDREW TRAVERS

BETH MALONE AT ‘HOME’ ON BROADWAY AND ON THE SLOPES ONE WOULDN’T NORMALLY ASSOCIATE the kind of ambition required to land a lead role in a Broadway musical with the powderchasing ethos of ski-bumming in Aspen. And yet, there is Beth Malone, armed with the lessons of a misspent youth on the slopes here, taking the stage as Alison in “Fun Home.” A musical based on the 2006 graphic memoir by MacArthur “genius grant” recipient Alison Bechdel about coming out and growing up with a closeted gay father, “Fun Home” begins previews at the Circle in the Square Theatre on March 27. Malone spent most of her 20s in Aspen, skiing by day and singing for her supper at the Crystal Palace dinner theater. She still lives in Snowmass Village part-time with her wife, and when the musical opens April 19 Malone will have an Aspen contingent in the audience. “It’ll be nice to have my homies in the house so that they can see one of their own in the New York theater scene,” she told me from New York. Malone has come close to landing several roles on Broadway since going back to school and making a go at a theater career at the tail end of the ’90s, and made her Broadway debut as June Carter Cash in “Ring of Fire” in 2006. After the Great Recession gutted New York theater, she had homecoming roles here in Theatre Aspen’s “25th Annual Putman County Spelling Bee” (2009) and “The Marvelous Wonderettes” (2010). Playing a lead in one of 2015’s most anticipated new shows is certainly her biggest role yet. “This is the high point of my career, absolutely, right this second,” she says. A Castle Rock native, Malone began acting as a teenager in the barn at the Country Dinner Playhouse in Englewood. From there, unlike most of her Broadway colleagues, Malone didn’t start hustling for parts in regional theaters or immediately trying to make her mark on the Great White Way. She went skiing. “It makes me a completely unique animal in this universe of New York actors who spend every waking

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

minute pounding the pavement trying to achieve something,” she says. “I know a lot of very unhappy people in this town, I have to be honest. I’m lucky in that I have three great loves – my wife, acting, and I love skiing. I love the mountains in the way that I love theater.” Having the mountains to come home to has kept Malone sane when show business has let her down. “When the world crashed and the economy went to shit, there was some pretty damn good powder that year and the next year,” she recalls. “So I was like, ‘I don’t feel poor.’ It’s hard to feel completely devastated when you have a ski pass and legs that work.” Earlier this winter, during a break between “Fun Home” rehearsals – and when her Snowmass Village condo wasn’t rented out – Malone and her wife took an impromptu road trip home. “It had snowed like five inches and I was in Powerline thinking, ‘I am going to Broadway but right now I am skiing powder! Who do I think I am?’” Malone has been with “Fun Home” since its beginnings four years ago, doing readings at the Public Theater downtown, traveling with it for workshops at the Sundance Theatre Lab, and back to New York for its acclaimed OffBroadway run in fall 2013. “There have been a lot of people that have come in and out of this show,” she says. “A lot of people that didn’t get to move on with it. … It’s amazing to keep getting the call that I’m still on the ‘good’ list. I’m lucky to have come from the reading all the way to Broadway. It’s exceedingly rare to make that journey with a piece. And I’ve been around long enough to know how lucky I am.”

Mar ch 26 - Apr il 1 , 2015

There were three prior projects where Malone received the other phone call, getting cut from projects as they moved up the ladder to Broadway. The biggest disappointment was a part in “Sister Act,” a role she’d originated in its 2006 run in Pasadena. She was dropped when the musical went to Broadway in 2011. After the heartbreak of losing “Sister Act,” she attempted to set her career on a new trajectory, which eventually brought her to “Fun Home.” At the time she contemplated finding a theater program to join fulltime here in Colorado. “I thought maybe I could build a life in the theater close to a ski lift,” she says. Instead, she set new standards for herself, “saying no to crap jobs,” and taking on only projects that meant something to her personally. She developed an autobiographical songs-and-stories show, “Beth Malone: So Far,” about her unique journey from selfproclaimed “redneck” roots in Castle Rock to coming out and forging a life in theater. As “So Far” played around the U.S., including a January 2011 show at the Wheeler Opera House, it

crystalized her identity as an artist. “I felt I owed that to myself, before I quit,” she says. “I’d been doing this my whole life but never asked what makes me me.” So when she got in the room to audition for “Fun Home” with Lisa Kron, who adapted it for the stage with Jeanine Tesori, Malone was focused. She has developed what she calls a “tentative friendship” with Bechdel in her years as the author’s on-stage doppelgänger. Bechdel, she says, has attempted not to step on the toes of the woman playing her, while Malone is cautious not to get so close with Bechdel that their relationship affects her performance (or vice versa). Some observers have been too quick to draw parallels between Malone’s life as a gay woman and Bechdel’s, she says. Their experiences and coming-out stories are as distinctive as any two different lives, though at the moment they have the same high-and-tight haircuts and similar mannerisms. “I’m like, ‘No, it’s just another lesbian,’” she says. “We’re not incredibly like each other, except that we are.”

(2) Historic Use: Irrigation of approximately 137.2 acres of hay and pasture under BWCDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in the Robinson Ditch water rights. In Case No. 93CW319, the Court decreed that 360 acre feet of annual consumptive-use credits are associated with said irrigation. In that case, the Court also decreed a change of use of BWCDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Robinson Ditch rights to include augmentation. BWCD makes the credits available to contract allottees for use pursuant to an approved substitute supply plan or decree of Court. c. Description of the Plan for Augmentation and Appropriative Rights of Exchange: By this application, Westbank seeks to augment, either directly or by exchange, out-ofpriority depletions associated with the Westbank Pond and Westbank Ditch. i. Augmentation Plan. To permit the requested out-of-priority depletions, Westbank proposes to cause the release of or otherwise commit to the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers from the BWCD contract water described above. The replacement water will be provided upstream of the location of the calling water right. The precise timing and amount of releases from BWCD shall be subject to administration by the Division Engineer and/or the Water Commissioner. ii. Depletions Assumption. It is assumed that all evaporative depletions from Westbank Pond are 100% consumptive. As denoted on the table attached hereto as Table 1, net annual evaporation is 30.70 inches per surface acre and the average total annual evaporation is 1.74 a.f. iii. Local Call Administration. During times of a call that cannot be satisfied by releases from Westbankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BWCD contract, Westbank will cease diversions at the Westbank Ditch, cease storage in Westbank Pond, and will allow Westbank Pond to decrease in volume commensurate with evaporation. iv. Exchange Plan Reach. When an exchange is necessary to augment its out-of-priority depletions, Westbank seeks the right to operate the following appropriative right of exchange: Westbank seeks approval of a plan to augment by exchange out-of-priority depletions from Westbank Pond and Westbank Ditch pursuant to its contractual right to the delivery of the BWCD water described above. Downstream Termini: The points of replacement on the Roaring Fork and/or Colorado Rivers of the BWCDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water rights listed in paragraph 5b above and described with particularity as follows: For the exchange of Green Mountain Reservoir water: The confluence of the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers, located in the SE Âź of the NW Âź of Section 9, Township 6 South, Range 89 West of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 2,200 feet from the North Section line and 2,350 feet from the West Section line; For the exchange of Ruedi Reservoir and/or Troy and Edith Ditch water: The confluence of the Roaring Fork and Frying Pan Rivers located in the SW Âź of the SE Âź of Section 7, Township 8 South, Range 86 West of the 6th P.M., at a point 750 feet from the South Section line and 1,500 feet from the East Section line; and For the exchange of Robinson Ditch water: The headgate of the Robinson Ditch on the Roaring Fork River as described above. A map of the BWCDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s augmentation supplies is attached as Figure 2. Upstream Terminus: The headgate of the Westbank Ditch, described in paragraph 4b above. v. Exchange Plan Rate. The cumulative maximum rate of exchange is 0.02 cfs, not to exceed 1.40 a.f. on an annual basis. The exchange or any portion thereof described herein shall only operate in priority. vi. Priority Date. A February 27, 2015 priority date is sought in connection with the subject plan for exchange, which is the date of filing of this application. vii. Measurement Devices. So as to ensure the operation of the augmentation and exchange plan, Westbank will install and maintain such water measuring devices and implement such accounting procedures as may be required to verify that the amount of augmentation and exchange water equals or exceeds the amount of out-of-priority depletions resulting from the use of water under the claimed plan for augmentation and exchange. 6. Names and addresses of owners of land upon which structures are or will be located, upon which water is or will be stored, or upon which water is or will be placed to beneficial use: Applicant. (14 Pages) YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT YOU HAVE until the last day of APRIL 2015 to file with the Water Clerk a verified Statement of Opposition setting forth facts as to why this application should not be granted or why it should be granted in part or on certain conditions.

BOOK REVIEW

‘THE POSSIBILITIES’ IN KAUI HART HEMMINGS’ NEW NOVEL, “The Possibilities,” the tourist town of Breckenridge, Colorado, becomes the setting for a family tragedy that is also a romance. Like her previous book, “The Descendants,” which went on to become a hit movie, “The Possibilities” grapples with the complexities of modern family life. After a young man named Cully is killed in an avalanche, everything in his orbit is upended: the relationships between parents and children, lovers and ex-lovers, grandparents and great-grandparents, the self and its discontents. Over three days, the reader travels with Cully’s mother, Sarah, from Breckenridge to Colorado Springs for a memorial service, and back again, accompanied by Cully’s father, grandfather and a female friend of Cully’s, whom the bereaved family has

rang his morning bells early to awaken the hungover residents. “One day some of the townspeople used dynamite mining caps to blow up his church steeple.” Parts of the novel elicit laughter, others flashes of the deepest sorrow. The Possibilities, like a sturdy chairlift, transports the reader from the bottom to the summit of life, taking in the whole human range between ecstasy and despair. “I live in a beautiful place. The surrounding pines, so impossibly tall, sparkle with snow. I tilt my face and inhale, willing my surroundings to enter me somehow and to remind me how small I am.”

never met. Not much happens, yet everything changes. Hemmings is a writer of humor and nuance, charting the internal trajectories of grief as they manifest in her characters. “A surprise spring of tears floods my vision. … None of this makes sense. Part of me wants to jump off the balcony. Part of me wants to sing from it. I love and hate this life.” Gazing at Pikes Peak after yet another surprising revelation about her son, Sarah tries to reconcile opposing realities. At the same time, she begins constructing a new identity for herself, one that no longer includes motherhood. A native of Breckenridge and a descendant of settlers, Sarah turns a wry gaze on the ritzy ski-town residents of the former miners’ hamlet. Tidbits from Breckenridge history sprinkle the domestic drama, like the story of the minister who deliberately
