THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

POPULAR MUSIC IT’S HARD TO OVERSTATE the impact and influence of the Los Angeles punk band X. Founded nearly four decades ago, in 1977, the foursome was the West Coast answer to the Ramones, playing a gritty rockabilly rock that became an elemental sound of American punk. Groundbreaking albums like 1980’s “Los Angeles” and 1981’s “Wild Gift” consistently still make it onto “best albums ever” lists from rock magazines and websites and continue to connect with new generations of disaffected youth turning to punk rock for solace. The original members of the band — singer Exene Cervenka, singer/bassist John Doe, guitarist Billy Zoom and drummer DJ Bonebrake — have stayed together through the decades. They’re currently on a national tour that brings X to Belly Up Aspen on Sunday, April 5. For the current tour, the band has reimagined much of its catalog with new acoustic arrangements and added sounds — including vibraphone from Bonebrake and saxophone parts by Zoom. Making old songs new again, with interpretations of “Beyond & Back,” “Los Angeles” and others, is helping keep the band creatively alive as it nears its fourth decade. The buzzworthy duo Folk Uke opens the show. Comprised of singersongwriters Amy Nelson and Cathy Guthrie (that would be Willie and Arlo’s daughters, respectively) Folk Uke plays a clever brand of Americana. The show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $35 and available at the Belly Up box office or www.bellyupaspen.com. Read the Aspen Times Weekend section on Friday, April 3 for more on X and an interview with DJ Bonebrake.

Pioneering punk band X will perform Sunday, April 5 at Belly Up Aspen.

CURRENTEVENTS FILM

The University of Colorado’s Backcountry Brass Quintet will play a free show at the Basalt Regional Library on Friday, April 3.

THE OPENING NIGHT of Aspen Film’s Shortsfest will showcase an unconventional new take on filmmaking in {The And} Game. An interactive performance and live film event, it will ask the Wheeler Opera House audience to take part not only as viewers, but participants. Co-creators Topaz Adizes and Nathan Phillips will host the evening, filming people in relationships as they ask one another some probing, fascinating questions. “It requires an adventurous and curious audience,” says Aspen Film artistic director Laura Thielen. “It will be a lot of fun.” The game is Tuesday, April 7 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and available at the Wheeler box office or www.aspenshowtix.com

CLASSICAL MUSIC THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO’S Backcountry Brass Quintet has been in the valley teaching middle and high school band programs, as part of the Aspen Music Festival and School’s Musical Odysseys Reaching Everyone (MORE) program.

with JOHN COLSON

150 years later, we still haven’t learned I WAS REMINDED LAST WEEKEND of the fact that we are coming up on the sesquicentennial (150th anniversary) of the end of the U.S. Civil War, our national dust up that unrepentant southern sympathizers insist on calling “The War of Northern Aggression.” The reminder was in the form of an article about the period after the war called Reconstruction, which most recall as a time when Northern carpetbaggers moved southward in droves to cash in on the demise of the Old South. But, as the article’s author, historian Eric Foner, reminded me, as the war ended southerners were busy cobbling together a new mythology about the demise of their way of life, blaming everything on the North and, paradoxically enough, on the very slaves that had been liberated by President Abraham Lincoln. The carpetbaggers were nothing but a pack of societal and economic rapists, this mythology proclaimed, and blacks were too stupid and ill prepared to handle democracy on their own, meaning the slaves’ former white overseers should be left in control of rebuilding the South in its own image. Both claims were monstrous exaggerations, according to such historians as W.E.B. Du Bois, a free black man and celebrated historian, and Foner himself, a white man who wrote a book titled “Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution.” In his book, Foner recounts a great number of beneficial developments that arose from Reconstruction, which actually began before the war ended. In 1863, Lincoln offered amnesty to any Confederates who would accept the abolition of slavery and agree to work on setting up local, state and regional governments based on that premise. In the succeeding decade and a half, biracial governments were established, black voters took a direct hand in their own self-governance, and in some cases things went fairly well for a while. Unfortunately, Lincoln was assassinated and his successor, President Andrew Johnson, ruled according to the precepts of his innate racism and anti-northern bias. He managed to derail many of the efforts to democratize the South by making a reality out of black citizenship there. In concert with the rise of the Ku Klux Clan and the ruinous, bitter policies of Jim Crow laws enacted by the white-planter culture that stayed in power, things only got nastier in the South. And it’s still like that today, as heralded by the delusional obstinacy of the inheritors of Jim Crow politics, whose view of history is entirely tainted by their refusal to admit

they were wrong then and are wrong now, in terms of the civil and legal rights owed to black Americans. In fact, many of the raceimbued political battles we face today are a direct outgrowth of the mishandling of Reconstruction. Voting rights and citizenship issues, the argument over states’ rights versus federal power, the uneasy balance between economic democracy and political democracy, and the question of how to deal with domestic terrorism — all these were at issue in the South in the waning days of the Civil War and the decade afterward, and they still are today. That, I should note, is Foner’s view, and I agree with him. The implication, of course, is that we, as a nation, learned nothing from the bloody events of the Civil War, which killed 620,000 people, nearly as many as have died in all the other wars this country has ever been involved in put together. But there is an explanation for this lack of learning, I was reminded on Sunday — the corporations that run this country, which were just getting started in the decades after the Civil War, want things to be that way. My education on this point came from a five-year old article on the Salon website, by a man named Bruce Levine, which addressed the loaded topic of, “Why are Americans so easy to manipulate?” His thesis is that corporate America is run by control freaks who have been using behavior modification techniques to brainwash the citizenry into a blind frenzy of consumerism. These tactics, coincidentally, over the last century and more have generated successively more obedient crops of what author Alfie Kohn has termed “dependent, powerless, infantilized, bored, and institutionalized people,” which are precisely the kinds of people most open to behavior modification techniques. It’s a closed circle of cause and effect. Using everything from the dumbing down of our education system to advertising and insipid programming on TV and in popular culture generally, corporations have become the managers of our culture and it has made them rich, which is how they want to keep it. Now, I’m not saying necessarily that this is all a result of a complex conspiracy directed by a few wealthy manipulators at the top of the corporate heap. No, it could just as easily be the outgrowth of economic Darwinism, the idea that maximization of profit is the ultimate goal of human endeavor, rather than such unprofitable values as compassion or ethical behavior. Whichever, it’s something to think about.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

The Cowenhoven building and the Wheeler are Aspen’s only Victorian commercial buildings, situated on street corners, with elevated ground floors.

AN ARCHITECTURAL ANOMALY One of my favorite childhood activities was to help my father stoke coal in the furnace. We lived in the Cowenhoven building, which was steam heated by a large boiler in the basement.

Constructing a basement for Aspen’s commercial buildings required as much dynamite as did constructing a tunnel. The city lies atop glacial material that includes granite boulders as big as cars. Removing that material added considerable expense. So when H.P. Cowenhoven constructed his building, he dug a basement under only the eastern half of the northern wing of the building. The hole was just large enough for coal bins and a giant boiler. During evening trips to the Cowenhoven basement, I began to wonder about differences among Aspen’s Victorian buildings. I enjoyed excursions with Barney and Gary Bishop into the depths of the Wheeler basement. From that storage area, they helped their father stock the shelves of Beck and Bishop Grocery. Rather than coal dust, common household dust piled up in the Wheeler’s immense cavern. A dimly lit ceiling loomed high overhead, and one stairway provided access from within the building. Other basements offered entry only from outside. As a child I played on the steps of the Wheeler while my mother

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

volunteered for the Pitkin County Library when it was housed there. Also, I crossed the steps in front of the Cowenhoven building daily, walking to and from home. I saw both buildings from a child’s point of view, perhaps differently from how adults viewed them.

The Cowenhoven building, originally a single story, was built of expensive carved sandstone. To elevate a corner without digging a basement would have been an impractical flourish, it seems. The elevated corner of the Wheeler covers a basement and supports floors above. The

I DISCOVERED, AND STILL PONDER, TWO ARCHITECTURAL ANOMALIES OF THOSE BUILDINGS. OTHER VICTORIAN COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS OF THE PERIOD HAVE ENTRYWAYS AT SIDEWALK LEVEL, AS DO SEVERAL SHOPS OF THE WHEELER AND COWENHOVEN BUILDINGS. YET THE CORNER SECTIONS OF JUST THESE TWO BUILDINGS HAVE AN ELEVATED FIRST FLOOR, ACCESSED FROM THE OUTSIDE VIA SANDSTONE STEPS. I discovered, and still ponder, two architectural anomalies of those buildings. Other Victorian commercial buildings of the period have entryways at sidewalk level, as do several shops of the Wheeler and Cowenhoven buildings. Yet the corner sections of just these two buildings have an elevated first floor, accessed from the outside via sandstone steps.

Apr il 2 - Apr il 8 , 2015

effort of elevating one section while maintaining consistency of design for the two large buildings surely required extra expense and forethought. As I child I thought the elevated corners had something to do with bank security. Both buildings housed banks, and I could picture Bonny and Clyde driving a truck into the front doors of a corner-entry bank on street

level. I figured elevated entryways, which required running up and down steps, would dissuade robberies. But these buildings were built before Bonny and Clyde, and before cars and trucks for that matter. My reasoning lost ground when I learned of two other buildings that Cowenhoven and D.R.C. Brown, his son-in-law, built. The first was the Aspen Block, which housed their bank. The second was the Brand Building, where they later moved their bank. The bank occupied the corner position of each building, yet they have no stairs and the first floors are not elevated. The final strike against my bank security hypothesis turned out to be the original purpose of the Cowenhoven building. Cowenhoven built his namesake structure to house his offices; the corner section did not house a bank until decades later. If you have spent much time in the rooms of those two anomalies, you probably remember the view down to the streets outside. Perhaps that perspective justified the elevated expense. I can picture H.P. Cowenhoven and Jerome Wheeler sitting in their office chairs and smoking their cigars as they watched over the streets of their beloved town.

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.

1956 ASPEN

“ASPEN-MADE SKI FILM TO BE RELEASED SOON,” announced the Aspen Daily Times on Oct. 18, 1956. “We saw something new in the ski film line last week when we attended a press preview of the 20-minute color film ‘Little Skier’s Big Day’. Produced by Fred Iselin, co-director of the Aspen Ski School, and photographed by Aspen’s Bob Murri, the film stars five-year-old Susie Wirth; also featured are French stunt skier Jean Tournier and Iselin. The story line is in the form of an episodic narrative, seen through the eyes of a five-year-old Susie, and covers one day in her eventful life. In the film, as in life, Susie lives at the Sundeck restaurant, which is run by her father. The film follows her as she skis down the mountain to school in the town below, then plays hookey to watch a winter carnival and ski with her two friends Fred and Jean. Although simple in scope and lacking a plot as such, ‘Little Skier’s Big Day’ is a delightful and charming picture. Diminutive Susie Wirth, with her smiling, pixie face and short blond hair adds a warmth to the film that we never before found in a ski movie. In fact, all elements of the film fit together, each adding to the whole. The color, the music, the comedy skiing and the characters, all combine to form a nearclassic ski short.” The photo above shows Fred Iselin directing Susie Wirth during the filming of the movie. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GOOD GOO: CLIF ORGANIC ENERGY FOOD

WORKING WITH OUTDOORS ATHLETES and its in-house chefs, Clif Bar & Company developed a new kind of energy food advertised as the “next generation of sports nutrition.” Lab-developed supplements are not included. Instead, you get tomato puree. You get ingredients like olive oil, beets, yeast flakes, and potatoes. The flavors are a vast departure, including a pizza offering, sweet potato, and a banana-beet-with-ginger concoction. They come in pouches used by baby-food companies. Screw off the cap and squeeze, then wait for the all-organic goo to hit your tongue. It sounds strange, but Clif is onto something — in a category ruled by sweet tastes a salty, pizza and potatoes angle has a niche. I tested out the whole line this week.

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

Apr il 2 - Apr il 8 , 2015

The Pizza Margherita flavor is a puree with ingredients like quinoa, garlic powder, oregano, and sunflower seed butter. It offers 160 calories in a 4-ounce pouch. Pizza goo tastes like a strong, slightly spiced tomato paste. Its texture is more like marinara sauce than yogurt, and it has a distinct nutty finish. The Banana Beet With Ginger might sound disgusting. But its flavor is overwhelmingly banana, and it has a feel in the mouth much like a smoothie. A hint of beet in the background adds a savory zing. Banana Mango With Coconut was good, and it tastes just as the name portends — sweet and tropical but not overpowering. The sweet potato product was not as palatable. I grabbed a glass of water immediately after eating the orange goo. It

was at first very salty, then the flavor shifted hard to an overwhelming tangy yam taste. Clif has created a possibly polarizing new product type with the line. I love that the company is pushing boundaries (and taste buds) in its quest toward a perfect eatoutdoors food. Try them if you crave salt, veggies, and “real food” in a convenient, pre-made package while on the trail.

WINEINK

GOLD FOR THE 400TH COLUMN IN 2010, DECANTER, the British wine magazine that is arguably one of the world’s most influential wine publications, had a small celebration to commemorate the 400th contribution of “our doyen of columnists,” Michael Broadbent. Now that is an impressive number indeed. Poured at said celebration were Mouton 1982 in KELLY J. HAYES magnum (“So fresh it might have been ten years younger,” said Steven Spurrier, famed for arranging the 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting ), Chateau Climens 1971, Champagne Pol Roger, Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 1990 in magnum, Corton-Charlemagne, Bonneau du Martray 2003, and, to close it all down, Graham’s Port 1970. Fine wines indeed, and I am certain those in attendance had an equally fine time as well. This is the 400th edition of WineInk to appear in the Aspen Times Weekly. Though I may present as the “doyen” of Times’ wine columnists, it is unlikely that a celebration will be held in commemoration. Nor will a line-up of wines be made available for my pleasure. Instead I am left with the joys of drinking a Terra d’Oro 2012 Amador Zinfandel, a steal at $18. And I assure you, I’m good with that. Begin with the assertion that I am drinking a wine that was grown, made and bottled in the heart of California, the state in which I grew up. With all respect, the Decanter group was drinking wines from countries other than their own, not that there is anything wrong with that, of course. It’s just that there is something called pride of place and when the Brits imbibe they are enjoying the pleasure of someone else’s place. No offense. Secondly, I am drinking pure Zinfandel, the grape that may be the most “American” of all the grapes we grow here in our 50 states. I say that because, if one looks back at the short history

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

Apr il 2 - Apr il 8 , 2015

of wine in America, it was the Zinfandel, originally brought by immigrants to California about the time of the Gold Rush that formed the base of the industry. It was first planted in Oak Knoll in Napa in the 1850s but soon proliferated and became a stalwart in the foothills of the Sierra where wines were made to quench the desires of the gold seekers who mined the mountains. Amador County, in those very foothills, has become Zin Central in California over the last half-century since pioneers like Cary Gott (father of Joel Gott, one of California’s great young winemakers) rediscovered the region in the early 1970s. There, they found a place with the remnants of pre-Prohibition vineyards, glorious sunshine and soils that were high in both iron and magnesium. All perfect for resurrecting a region and growing great Zin. “Zinfandel loves the sun and in Amador we have sunshine all day long from sun up to sun down” enthuses Chris Leamy, who is the winemaker at Terra d’Oro. “The whole terrior of the area creates a Zinfandel that focuses on the warm baking spices.” It was that terroir that enticed the then 24-year old winemaker Gott, with backing from banker/ father-in law Walter Fields, to create the Montevina Winery in 1970 in Plymouth, California. It was one of the first new postProhibition wineries in the Sierra Foothills and it would become known for producing great Zinfandel. The Trinchero family, which made a fortune producing White Zinfandel from the region, acquired Montevina in 1988 and in 1993 introduced the Terra d’Oro label as a premium brand. In 2009 the original winery in Plymouth was rechristened as Terra d’Oro, or “land of gold,” to more accurately reflect the heritage of the region. While Terra d’Oro and Montevina, which focuses on appellation wines from California now, make a number of wines, many from Italian varietals, it is still the Zin that steps to the

forefront. “With Zinfandel, you can make so many different and delicious styles of wines from one grape,” said Leamy, with obvious admiration for the grape. “One really could plant a Zinfandel vineyard and make a wine to fit about every niche of wine styles, from a light dry blush, to a rambunctious red, to an elegant sipper, to a lush port. And they do. Though in addition to new plantings, a bottling of the Terra d’Oro Deaver Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel emanates from vines that have a 130-year old pedigree. A 14-acre vineyard

planted in 1881 is a jewel of the Amador Valley and the dark, concentrated fruit it provides is as rich in flavor as it is in history. The Brits can have their French wines. As a son of California, I am happy to drink the fruit of the Golden State to celebrate the 400th.

A great BBQ wine and one that you should keep a few bottles around the house for summertime quaffing. Like I said, a steal.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

by AMANDA RAE

TOUCHY SUBJECT

CONFIRMING AN ADULT-ONSET ALLERGY: DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME I SET MY PLATE DOWN across the table from an acquaintance, and comment on the food. She eyes the meatballs, bruschetta, and quesadilla — I picked one of each appetizer offered, natch — and sighs. “There’s nothing gluten-free here!” she moans. Even the meatballs are packed with breadcrumbs, as confirmed by the management. I can’t help but study AMANDA RAE her suspiciously. Is she really part of the estimated 1 percent of Americans with a legit gluten allergy or is this a personal preference based on consumers’ sudden and overblown fear of wheat? Indeed, as a kid she tested positive for Celiac Disease — a genetic autoimmune disease that attacks the small intestine and interferes with nutrient absorption. Any exposure to gluten causes severe symptoms that require immediate hospital intervention. Ditto for dairy, nuts, and something else I can’t recall because I was too busy rolling my eyes. Sure, I think to myself, she’s allergic to

Unfortunately, I believe I may have developed an allergy to mussels a few years ago. “What do you mean, you believe?” my dining companion asks. Well, I might be allergic, but I’m not sure, I reply. Here are the facts: A few years ago, I ate mussels often with an ex-boyfriend who adored them. Eventually we stopped seeing each other, and I stopped ordering them. A year or two later, I attended a Mediterranean wine dinner, one course of which consisted of a single shucked mussel in a pool of saffrontomato broth. At home a few hours later, I became violently ill, but only briefly. Not convinced that one plump mollusk could provoke such an intense, delayed response, I chalked it up to another food I ate that night. Or the copious wine. The next ordeal occurred at an acclaimed French bistro in Manhattan. I split a portion of mussels simmered in garlic and white wine, soaking up the fragrant broth with crusty baguette. A few hours following bliss, I found myself doubled over the porcelain in my friend’s apartment. Perhaps the mussels were contaminated or hastily cleaned — they’ve always seemed like the dirtiest of shellfish to me; freshwater mussels and clams, at least, are known for absorbing pollutants in rivers and streams. I encounter a petite portion of mussels again at another coursed event many months ago, and the same thing happens. But due to multiple variables, I can’t justify blaming the bivalves definitively. Though wary of mussels ever since, I enjoy all other shellfish — shrimp, scallops, king crab, raw oysters, especially — as often as I can afford, without consequence. Octopus is my favorite fruit of the sea. Fish is no problem; I just overcame a lifelong distaste for salmon. So I can’t help but wonder: Have I developed a late-onset selective shellfish allergy? Or is it all in my head? To find out once and for all, I decide to devour a dish of those praised curried mussels at Ricard. Worst-case scenario: I’ll endure 10 minutes of forehead sweat and throat burn hours later. Call me a masochist, but I need to know. Whatever happens, I’ll get a great meal out of it. When I approach Ricard manager Danielle Becker with my plan, I half expect her to talk me out of it. Instead, she one-ups me. As an adult, Becker

“OFTEN IT’S HARD TO SEPARATE WHAT IS A TRUE ALLERGY VERSUS A SENSITIVITY. TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING IS A BAD THING.” – DR. DEWAYNE NEIBUR three of five major food groups. Likely story. As it turns out, a whopping 20 to 45 percent of the general population reports adverse reactions to food, according to the World Journal of Gastroenterology. But Aspen-based family physician Dewayne Neibur pins the estimated number of true food allergies at just 3 percent. The discrepancy, he says, is due to the fact that many individuals, while sensitive to certain foods that cause them discomfort, are not technically allergic. Later, I wonder if that’s what’s going on with me after I wave hello to a friend at Ricard Brasserie & Liquor Bar in Snowmass. An empty cast-iron pan sits before him. “Get the Thai curried mussels!” he calls from across the room. “These are THE BEST mussels I’ve ever had.” It’s a bold claim from a well-traveled, retired gentleman, so I’m tempted.

developed an allergy to white and yellow onions. As eating onions is an unavoidable part of her job, she deals. On days leading up to a tasting or beer dinner, Becker pops Benadryl every few hours to mitigate the inevitable skin itchiness that follows. It sucks, she says with a shrug, but it could be worse. Once I announce my experiment, anecdotes pour in. A colleague tells me her Seattle-born boyfriend developed a severe allergy to fish recently; now his favorite food is off limits. A nurse at my doctor’s office says she went into surgery and emerged with a skin rash. Apparently she’d been exposed to iodine so frequently while working at the hospital that she developed an allergy to it. The Boston native can no longer consume shellfish. Bummer! According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, shellfish is among the most common food allergens, and for approximately 60 percent of folks it develops in adulthood. Symptoms may affect the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract and/or cardiovascular system. Allergic reactions to shellfish are unpredictable, too, sometimes occurring long after a person has consumed it and despite lacking other symptoms. What’s more, such backlash may become more severe with each exposure. Gulp. Back at Ricard and armed with an emergency stash of Benadryl in case of sudden respiratory trauma, I ignore warnings to consult a physician before attempting my experiment and pick a mussel from its shell. Down the hatch it goes. I end up eating eight, plus a few twirls of rice noodles marinating at the bottom of the dish in light coconut milk seasoned with kaffir lime,

yellow curry, ginger, tomatoes, and cilantro. Just as that guy proclaimed, the dish is divine. I could drink the broth for breakfast. Periodically, Becker asks how I’m feeling and studies me for clues. I tell her to ask again in a few hours, go about my afternoon as usual… and nothing happens. The next morning, I almost forget about the test. I’m relieved, of course — who enjoys barfing? — but also strangely disappointed. There goes my big fat conclusion. No “cautionary tale” here. I consult Dr. Neibur. Might psychology play a role in phantom food allergies? Perhaps. “One may be exposed to something that they perceive as an allergy, and symptom magnification is not all that uncommon,” he says. “Say you went out to dinner, had some shellfish, developed a rash, maybe some tightness in the breath, and had to go to the emergency room. It’s a really scary situation. There’s a definite fear that is fairly justifiable. But when specific testing is done to see if their immune system is hyper-reactive, it wouldn’t be able to define (it). “Often it’s hard to separate what is a true allergy versus a sensitivity,” Neibur continues, adding that gluten and dairy are most common in these cases. “If people are good about keeping exposure to a relative minimum, we can do OK. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Moderation is a nice concept.” In conclusion: I’m perplexed. But happy knowing I might enjoy mussels again without consequence. For now. Amanda Rae will be back for mussels—at least once more. amandaraewashere@gmail.com

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

Though seldom enjoyed by locals, a day at the spa perfectly sums up the luxurious life.

A SAMPLE OF LUXURY A DAY AT THE REMÉDE SPA

IN ASPEN, we live for luxury. Even if we are not directly connected to it, as locals, our lives depend on it. Without the expensive lift tickets, the grandiose parties, the designer apparel and the overpriced entrees, we would have a hard time keeping our economy — and our paychecks — steady. But we all know that the people who can afford to spray BARBARA PLATTS 15 bottles of Veuve Clicquot all over their fellow partiers during après ski at Ajax Tavern are not the full-time residents of this town. They are the visitors who can sustain a lavish lifestyle on the slopes and fly their private jets out when it’s time for reality, or possibly, another version of paradise. But then how do us locals tie into this lifestyle? We are constantly surrounded by luxury yet we don’t get the opportunity to indulge often. It almost acts as the forbidden fruit. We can look, but if we touch it’s going to cost us. Because of this, most of us set our sites low. We get used to window shopping and ordering from the bar menu. But do our taste buds not orgasm when a splash Dom Pérignon drenches them? Do us locals not succumb to relaxation at the firm touch of a masseuse? Can we not tell the difference between real mink and that synthetic crap that’s made to “look” and “feel” like real fur? OK,

COURTESY PHOTOS

maybe I lost you at mink, but you get the idea right? For me, moving to Aspen meant altering my spending habits a bit. I love to shop, but I’ve tried my best to ignore the cleverly dressed manikins in the storefronts in town. And I’ve also, for the most part, given up one of my favorite pastimes, the spa. I’ve always been a bit of a spa junkie. I try not to talk about it often because it brings up such wonderful memories of lavender soaked tubs, almond scented sugar scrubs, detoxifying mud baths, herbal massage oils and…I shouldn’t go on. Anyway, the point I was attempting to make before I started envisioning smooth volcanic hot stones gliding up and down my oiled back was that I’m a large fan of the spa, but in order to keep my wallet plump and happy I tend to avoid sparelated services. However, that changed last week when a good friend of mine sought

my camaraderie in a spa day. She wanted a facial. I was dreaming of a massage. And we both wanted our toenails done. So I decided to hop off the wagon and indulge to the fullest by scheduling our services at Reméde Spa — the mother of all spas in Aspen. Upon entry to Reméde, I knew that we had made the right decision. The spa, located downstairs at the St. Regis, felt welcoming and uncontrollably relaxing. The staff acted the same way, talking softly and smiling calmly. We were led back to the locker room where we stripped down and wrapped up in soft robes. Before the treatments even began I could feel a huge weight lifting off of me. The stress from the weeks’ prior left seamlessly as we were called in for our massages. After each service we were lead to the oxygen room where we took in fresh air that made us feel like we were at sea level. Even for the

acclimated local, a nice oxygen treatment is rejuvenating. This is where my friend and I could meet to chat about our treatments and ponder how much time had gone by in the outside world. With no clocks on the walls and our cell phones left in our lockers, we were happily disconnected. And, as if the spa and its staff had not already won me over, they then offered us complimentary glasses of Champagne, quite possibly winning over my loyalty for a lifetime. The conversations with my friend started simple, but with some help from the bubbly, they got deep. We talked of friends, family, hardships and what we had to look forward to, all while waiting for services and relaxing after them. I’d forgotten how much of a bonding experience a spa day could be. Once we were done, we returned to the locker room and soaked in the hot tub before coming to terms with the fact that it was time to head back to reality. In Aspen, we live for luxury. It constantly surrounds us, whether we want it to or not. For us locals, it’s nice when a bit of luxury can fall into our laps from time to time. Even if this can sometimes compromise one’s paycheck. On occasion, a spa day is well worth the price. Barbara Platts could only afford to spray one bottle of Veuve Clicquot at Ajax Tavern during après ski. She’s only slightly bitter about it.

One use for the latter is extracting the aromas and flavors from roasted fresh peanuts to create the Veruca Salt cocktail. A Polyscience Sonicprep, which emits ultrasonic sounds waves that create low-heat vibrations, is used to emulsify and create a type of instant barrel-aged flavor.

LITHUANIA’S CURONIAN SPIT: SERENE STRAND BETWEEN THE WATERS

AT THE EDGE OF THE VALLEY OF SILENCE, the landscape changes so suddenly it’s like strolling to another continent — from a placid, fragrant pine forest to a soaring wall of brown sand. A short but steep 170-foot vertical climb to the top of the Parnidis Dune — known affectionately or humorously as “Lithuania’s Sahara — reveals a sweeping view of a remarkable and soothing landscape, the Curonian Spit. On the map, the spit resembles a stray hair rising from a child’s cowlick, starting in Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave and gently curving north 60 miles toward Lithuania’s port city of Klaipeda, which it almost touches. As narrow as 1,200 feet, thickly forested and thinly inhabited, the spit is a refuge flanked by the smooth lagoon on one side and the blustery Baltic Sea on the other.

Nida, the principal town on the Lithuanian side, has long attracted visitors in search of serenity, notably author Thomas Mann who built a summer home here when this was part of Germany. But even at the height of the brief Baltic summers, the spit retains an out-of-the-way air and its vast beaches seem to swallow up humans. Nida, though a fullfledged resort, has only a handful of large hotels; accommodation is largely in small, family-run hotels or gabled, brightly painted guesthouses. No one comes to the spit for excitement. The most spectacular entertainment may be the extraordinary clouds that form as sea and dry-land air currents mix together. The noisiest place on the spit is one of its prime naturalist sites. Countless cormorants and grey herons congregate in a forested area near the village of Juodkrante, filling the air with a chatter of

squawks and vocalizations that sound oddly like dogs barking. There’s a viewing platform on the edge of the colony. Humans who barge into the woods for a closer look may find the herons dropping fish from the air to dissuade them; the birds value serenity as much as the tourists. Although the northern tip of the spit is easily reachable by a fiveminute ferry ride from Klaipeda, its most appealing areas around Klaipeda and Juodkrante require another hour or so of travel by road. This discourages passengers on the cruise ships that visit Klaipeda from venturing deep into the spit, reinforcing its serenity. The spit is popular for bicyclists for its rolling terrain, but cycle campers should be aware that the only campground on the Lithuanian side is in Nida; camping in the rough is forbidden.

IF YOU GO... CURONIAN SPIT: Located near Nida, Lithuania. Online information, http://www. visitneringa.lt. Mid-June to the end of August is high season on the spit, with long hours of daylight and temperate weather. GETTING THERE: Klaipeda, the main jumping-off point for the spit, has frequent bus service from the Lithuanian capital Vilnius and the Latvian capital Riga. Vilnius is closer, about 3 1/2 hours by bus. The pedestrianonly ferry to the spit’s northern tip leaves every hour or so from a downtown dock in Klaipeda, within 15 minutes’ walk from most of Klaipeda’s hotels; buses to Nida and Juodkrante meet all ferries. A car ferry runs from Klaipeda’s southern fringes; not recommended for those on foot because it’s a long walk to the bus stop once on the spit.

ABOVE: Spectacular cloud formations above the Parnidis Dune, on the Curonian Spit near the Russian border of Lithuania. The promontory in the background is where Russian territory begins. FAR LEFT: The Baltic Sea near sundown from the top of dunes at Nida on Lithuania’s Curonian Spit. LEFT: Visitors relax on the shores of the Curonian Lagoon, with the Parnidis Dune in the background. The Curonian Spit offers serene woods and vast empty beaches.

ON THE ROAD with

JAMES SURLS ‘THE JOURNEY’ TO SCREEN AT SHORTSFEST by ANDREW TRAVERS

SCULPTOR JAMES SURLS AND A TEAM OF MEN IN HARD HATS loaded one of his pieces onto a flatbed truck outside of his Carbondale studio last spring, beginning its journey to a busy intersection in downtown Houston. As the 3-plus ton, 35-foot tall “Tree and Three Flowers” went off on the road to Texas, Surls also began a journey of his own with two young Colorado filmmakers. The acclaimed 71-year-old artist, who has shown work in the Smithsonian, the Guggenheim, and in public spaces across the U.S., had partnered with brothers Austin and

Maitland Lottimer to film the installation of “Tree and Three Flowers.” In a mini-van, they followed it on the 18-wheeler out of the mountains and south to Houston, strapping GoPro cameras to the truck and speeding ahead of it to film it barreling across western vistas and, eventually, past a “Welcome to Texas” sign. They then captured Surls at the dedication in April of last year, alongside the mayor and local dignitaries. Once the piece was up and Surls returned home, he asked the brothers to keep filming. A year later, their cameras are still rolling.

The product of their initial partnership, “The Journey,” will screen on the opening night of Aspen Shortsfest. By the end of this year, the Lottimers expect to finish a feature-length documentary on Surls. “I just want to be working with people who I trust their creative bent,” Surls told me in the twang he’s held on to from his east Texas boyhood. “These guys are so young (Maitland is 26, Austin 28), I don’t think they’ve reached full throttle. They’re still trying to get the oxygen and gas burning at a good level. I feel comfortable with that, with growing with them.”

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

LEFT: James Surls in “The Journey.” BELOW: Surls at work in his Carbondale studio.

After the Lottimers tagged along with Surls for the trip to install the Houston piece, they made a second short, “Her World Returning,” about a Surls installation in Santa Fe. They released that last year, before returning to “The Journey.” They plan to continue shooting through August — a period that will include the June dedication of his Carbondale sculpture, “Sewing the Future” — and hope to have the full-length film in the can by December. “James is fascinating,” says Maitland Lottimer. “The more we get to be around him, the more he really expands our minds. He’s such an interesting character. It’s almost easy for us to make a movie about such an interesting person. Every time I talk to him he reminds me of what it means to be an artist.” The gregarious Surls was comfortable with the filmmakers, and didn’t have trouble opening up to them about his life in art. “I think just making art puts your head on a chopping block anyway,” he says. “That’s the nature of what artists do. I know it’s not easy for everyone to be scrutinized, but it’s not a problem for me.” In a brisk 16 minutes, “The Journey” follows Surls home to Houston and back to the initial spark of his creativity. Surls’ signature organic style, borrowing the shapes and patterns of grass, flowers, trees and the natural world for largescale steel sculptures, has been with him “from birth,” he says in the film. While he’s lived and worked in Carbondale for the last 18 years, his work still has its roots in the Texas soil. “You can see this connection while he’s

there,” says Maitland Lottimer. “Like that’s home. And everything that he started in art was because of that place, it’s almost like him becoming a kid again, finding where it all started.”

GOING PUBLIC “Tree and Three Flowers” was the fifth of his pieces to be installed in public in Houston, and marked what Surls calls the end of his “Houston period.” His career in public art extends back to 1980, when a sculpture of a sea flower was selected for the plaza in front of a federal courthouse in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Its chilly reception from locals introduced Surls to the often bumpy road of public artists. “Because it was on federal land, the mayor, the city council, the Rotary Club, the newspaper, didn’t know it was coming,” he explains. “So when I showed up with that piece in downtown New Bedford, they almost lynched me. … Some artists thrive on that controversy, like Christo — the controversy is part of the art. So he uses it. I just assume not do it. But there’s always context for anything you do and that’s part of the context with public art.” Despite that initial reception, the New

Bedford piece became part of fabric of the area, and has stayed there through the years, though in 2011 it was moved elsewhere on the property to make room for a Korean War veterans’ memorial. “Public art is like watching grass grow,” Surls says with a laugh. “It’s hard to get decisions. You have a menagerie of humanity that you have to deal with. You have city councils, and everyone has to stand up and state their mind. But it’s public work, I guess that’s just what you do. It’s harder to deal with, but it’s rewarding.” Most recently, his sculpture “Sewing the Future,” installed on the Carbondale roundabout at Main Street and Highway 133 in November, sparked controversy about the process through which it was selected (Surls donated it to the town, and no other works were considered for the prominent space). Surls says he understands how his modernist style might rub some the wrong way, as public art in Colorado tends toward more naturalistic representations of local wildlife. “Rarely do you see something from an artist like me,” he says. “That’s just a fact.” But he’s proud to have a piece up in his hometown. “Me being in the roundabout in Carbondale, I look at that as a rewarding thing because my neighbors know about that, my friends at the Red Rock Diner know about that,” he says. “For awhile, it’s the talk of the town.” In “The Journey,” Surls talks about moving into a new phase of work after the last Houston piece, about artistically “moving across a larger plane.” The next phase that has begun for him since then has brought Surls from Carbondale — where “Sewing the Future” will be dedicated in June —

to Singapore, where he’s been commissioned to sculpt a piece for the Southeast Asian country’s 50th anniversary. Surls is currently at work on that piece, which will be unveiled during the national celebration this summer, with the Lottimers, of course, capturing it on film. “I just think that energy begets energy and doors open because doors have already opened,” says Surls.

ART ON FILM While Surls’ film plays on the opening night of Shortsfest, a short about another internationally acclaimed, locally based artist, “Pamela Joseph’s Sideshow of the Absurd,” will screen during the closing night of competition on Saturday, April 11. The film gives viewers a insightful glimpse into Joseph’s imaginative world as an artist, focusing on her “Sideshow of the Absurd” exhibition, a hallucinatory body of work that draws on 20th century freak shows and circus attractions (read more about Joseph and the film in the Friday, April 10 issue of The Aspen Times).

IF YOU GO...

Bookended by the Surls and Joseph shorts, this year’s festival showcases a plethora of films about the arts and the creative process. Shortsfest organizers don’t select films to fit any stated themes, but for the 24th annual festival, creativity has emerged as one. Among the artoriented films is the stunning “Nefertiti’s Daughters,” about a group of Egyptian female street artists and the influential role they played during and since the Arab Spring. Earth works artist Bode Klein is profiled in “From Australia with Lov3,” while “Cindy Sherman: ‘Untitled Film Stills’” portrays the famed American conceptual photographer. Director André Hörman has two films about young artists

in the festival: “Bhavini — I Just Wanna Dance!” about an 11-year-old Indian girl attempting to dance her way out of the slums, and “Andrew With Great Fanfare,” which follows a teenage New Orleans boy as he dreams of being a drum major in a Mardi Gras parade. In “Rick Was Here,” famed record producer Rick Rubin returns to the NYU dorm room where he co-founded Def Jam Records. And the animated “Dissonance” tells the story of a pianist on a journey between dreams and the real world.

SPRING BREAK 2015

SPRING BREAK — two words that conjure up thoughts of longer days, warmer weather, corn snow and après ski in full effect. An annual spring gathering celebrating all of the above took place last weekend at Bonnie’s Restaurant. Hostess Sarah Manning’s beloved Bonnie’s Bash brought the masses to Aspen Mountain for burgers, beers, basking in the sun

and dancing on the deck. For the luauthemed afternoon, guests dressed in tropical attire and many even got lei’d upon arrival. For a list of spring parties, check the Aspen Chamber and Aspen Snowmass events calendar at www.aspenchamber.org or www.aspensnowmass.com.
