LITERATURE THE ASPEN POETS’
Society is celebrating National Poetry Month by showcasing some of the valley’s best and brightest young poets at its monthly reading. The free “Spotlight on Student Poets” event is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 24 at Victoria’s Espresso and Wine Bar. It marks the third consecutive year that the local nonprofit has brought together Roaring Fork Valley students for a spring reading. With poets aged from kindergarten through 12th grade, the reading brings out a diverse crowd of talented young locals with styles ranging from the traditional to the cutting edge, from formal sonnets to slam-style raps. John Hatanaka will be providing musical accompaniment and parents, teachers and anyone interested in hearing what these youngsters have to say is welcome to come out. The annual reading has coincided with a fertile period for young poets in the Roaring Fork Valley. Fostered by Aspen Words’ poets-in-schools program — founded in 2013 — and its spirited annual winter slams, poetry clubs have sprouted in valley schools and the youth poetry group First Word made a splash last year with a main stage performance at Carbondale Mountain Fair. Many young poets, encouraged by teaching poets like Logan Phillips, have become regulars at the Aspen Poets’ Society’s monthly readings at Victoria’s in the last few years, and a genuine creative youth movement has taken hold. Stop by Sunday’s event to get a glimpse of it.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
by JOHN COLSON
Policy, shmolicy, let’s cheat our way to power AS ATTENTION around the U.S. focused on the New York state primaries this week, I decided to address another topic near and dear to the hearts of all who agree that democracy is the best system we’ve yet come up with for choosing national, regional and local leaders — voter suppression. We can all remember the uproar that arose after the disastrous presidential election of 2000, when thousands of people in Florida found their names had been dropped off voter registration lists, including many who were misidentified as convicted felons (Florida, thanks to an 1868 law aimed at keeping freed slaves from voting, is one of the few states that permanently ban felons from voting). Those who tried to address these inaccuracies in the state’s electoral bureaucracy found themselves stuck in a dark world of telephones that were never answered, hostility on the part of bureaucrats overwhelmed by the number of appeals for their assistance, and a number of other impediments. Then there was the infamous “hanging chad” debacle, in which an untold number of ballots were invalidated in back-room parties of partisan hacks; voting machine glitches that left thousands of Jews in Palm Beach mistakenly voting for Pat Buchanan; and other problems that mostly served to disenfranchise state residents of color or other “minorities” who generally were assumed to be more likely to vote for Democrats. Many simply ended up not voting in that election, which famously ended up in a rancorous 36-day recount battle before the U.S. Supreme Court gave the election to Republican George W. Bush — even though it was obvious then and later that Democrat Al Bore, … er, I mean Gore had won the popular vote and deserved to win. A subsequent examination of the misidentified-felons issue turned up 12,000 or so voters who were inaccurately labeled as felons and prevented from voting in that election. That was more than 20 times the margin of victory (537 votes) that gave the Florida election, and thereby the presidency, to Bush. The embarrassing electoral failure of 2000 has been followed by a wide range of further efforts at voter suppression, most in favor of Republican candidates for offices at every level. The techniques are varied, but they all have one basic goal — make it as difficult as possible for anyone to vote who might have any kind of bias toward voting for a Democrat. Wisconsin, currently the power base of Republican Governor Scott Walker, is a prime example of this wave of chicanery.
There, as evidenced by recent news from a longtime Republican staffer in the state Capitol who quit his job over this matter, the Republicandominated state legislature has figured out a good way to ensure that it stays in the driver’s seat — a voter ID law and related bureaucratic stumbling blocks that make it much more difficult to register and vote in that state. Simply getting a state-issued ID there can be a daunting task. For instance, in Sauk City, the office where applications for the ID are accepted is only open on the fifth Wednesday of every month. Since there are only four months that have five Wednesdays, anyone who can’t make it on those particular days is forced to take a long drive to the nearest big city or just give up. According to the Republican staffer who quit his job — Todd Allbaugh, if you’re interested — who was in the legislative chamber when Wisconsin’s voter ID law was being debated (by Republicans only, since the minority Democrats were not allowed into the chamber for the discussion), the GOP stalwarts writing up this bill were “giddy” about the prospects of denying voting rights to blacks, college students and others who were believed to be in the Democrats’ column. All this supposedly was aimed at preventing a wave of “voter fraud” that simply did not exist. There has been considerable puzzlement over Walker’s continued dominance in a state that, according to polls, is not that happy with his governorship. He has failed to produce the vast number of jobs he promised to create when elected, his stewardship of the state’s much-admired natural environment has been abysmal, he has laid waste to the state’s labor organizations to no good effect (and likely has set up a decline in the state’s wage levels), and his civil-service system is in shambles. The only reason Walker still rules Wisconsin, many believe (including me) is his engineering of voter suppression techniques that have kept his critics and doubters from the polls. Accusations of similar suppressive tactics surfaced here in Colorado back in 2013, when the National Rifle Association and its adherents recalled two state legislators after they voted in favor of slightly stricter gun laws in the wake of the Aurora theater massacre. And there are cases of gerrymandering and other tactics around the country that bolster a growing belief that if Republicans can’t win voter support through policy debates, they’ll win by cheating.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES
FROM the VAULT
by TIM WILLOUGHBY
Sports cars line up to race through Aspen’s streets in the 1950s.
JEEPS RACE UP ASPEN MOUNTAIN Just out of high school, my California cousin coveted a ’57
Chevy, the “in car” of our generation. I, however, purchased a British racing green 1957 Austin-Healey. Its chassis barely cleared the backs of chipmunks that ran across the road. My preference derived entirely from Aspen’s hosting of sports car races during the 1950s.
Aspen reenacted its own version of an Italian Mille Miglia. The course ran through city streets and the highway in the center of town and required many 90-degree turns. Spectators stationed themselves mainly at the corners of Main and Monarch or Galena and Cooper. A few hay bales protected crowds from errant drivers. MGs were the most popular vehicle. Jaguars, Porsches, Lotus variants, and my favorite Austin-Healeys filled the roster. Locals such as Dr. Baxter and Dr. Barnard participated as drivers as well as organizers. Although the race drew drivers from as far away as California, race cars were driven to Aspen — not trailered. These races were for fun, not fame. Owners plastered their entry numbers on their car doors. They applied strips of tape to their headlights in case there was a collision, which I do not remember ever happening. Highway 82 was the only paved roadway in Aspen at the time so those

sections saw the fastest action. When cars left the pavement to turn onto dirt streets they screeched around corners and raised dust. The roar of an MG rounding a corner may not hold
of that time traced a strong childhood memory for me. In conjunction with the sports car races, Jeeps sped up Aspen Mountain. Few locals had need of sports cars.

More commonly, Aspen’s residents owned a Willys Jeep for winter survival. The die-hard vehicles overcame Aspen’s chuckholes and provided reliable four-wheel passage into the mountains year-round. The most popular trip was a climb to the top of
Aspen Mountain via the dirt road that ran up the front, town side. Americans are competitive and so it was predestined that there be a Jeep race. Not a meander-along-a-Jeep-road kind of race, but one that shot off with a climb straight up Little Nell. A Jeep is a Jeep — no bells or whistles — and has only one motor size, small. The race truly tested drivers’ skills. The mountain was better than the drivers. Driving straight up the bottom of Little Nell was fun and a driver’s challenge. However, racing all the way up the mountain was dirty, dangerous, and potentially disastrous. The race was timed and spectators could see only the first dash up the steep bottom of the mountain. When the state banned racing on highways, Aspen canceled the Jeep race and moved the sports car race outside of town. New locations reduced the number of spectators and community contact. Now, larger crowds assemble to cheer different racers speeding in a new direction: skiers fly down the mountain toward a finish line at the bottom. 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.

“ASHCROFT-MADE MOVIE AT ISIS TONIGHT AND FRIDAY,” noted The Aspen Times on April 29, 1954. “‘Those Redheads from Seattle’ will be one picture showing at the Isis Thursday and Friday, this week, that every Aspenite and Pitkin County resident will want to see. The picture was partially made in the Ashcroft area last winter with Stuart Mace’s husky dogs as members of the cast. That is, the outdoor scenes were shot at Ashcroft, and then Mace and his husky teams were shipped to Hollywood where street and indoor scenes were rigged. Mace worked in Hollywood about six weeks before the picture was finished. The scene of the story is laid in the Alaskan gold rush and involves three pretty redheads in lots of songs and music; superb scenery (Aspen’s, of course) and a dandy story. Several Aspenites were used for extras while the company was on location at Ashcroft. See how many of them you recognize when you go to the Isis tonight or Friday evening. The picture was made originally in 3-D but it will be shown in Aspen in Technicolor with no loss in quality. Friday evening will be the last chance most Aspenites will get to see this fine musical.” The photo above shows Stuart Mace exercising a sled team of 10 dogs by hitching them up to a Jeep and following them around the Paramount lot. Film sets and stages are visible in the background. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK
by STEPHEN REGENOLD
RIDE ON: LAZER Z1 MIPS BIKE HELMETS are a highly-evolved category of gear, with few changes year to year. My roadbiking helmets from 10 years ago look similar to what I ride with today, save for a few tweaks around safety and fit. The Lazer Z1 MIPS is a case in point. Compared to older “pro level” helmets hanging in my garage it has more adjustability and an integrated protection piece called MIPS, which stands for multi-directional impact protection system. (More on MIPS below.) For the upgrades you pay a premium. The Lazer retails for a headache-inducing price of $310. It’s worth that cost if you want a race-ready hard hat with safety features that exceed the industry standard. With a comfortable, head-hugging fit, dozens of vents for airflow, and a weight of just 10.4 ounces, the Z1 is hardly noticeable on the ride. However, an older Giro helmet I have is about 3 ounces lighter, so Lazer was not aiming for a featherweight here. Instead, the helmet balances full coverage and temple protection with an effective twistto-tighten adjuster on top, and a sculpted foam shell that absorbs impact in a crash. It meets requisite safety certifications and adds the MIPS insert, which is a thin plastic cap made to fit tight against your head. Injury in a crash is caused by blunt impact as well as rotational forces, the latter of which the MIPS aims to better mitigate. Developed about 20 years ago in Sweden, MIPS is said to mimic the action of cerebrospinal fluid around the brain to lessen possible damage where the brain could rotate inside the skull, causing concussion or worse. In the Lazer helmet, the system is manifested as a simple perforated plastic insert attached to rubber struts. Worn tight, the MIPS insert ostensibly will function like cerebrospinal fluid, absorbing some of the rotation that’d otherwise transfer in a collision straight to your head. I fortunately never got to test it out. MIPS is becoming a common add-on for helmet companies, in biking and beyond, however not without some controversy along the way. In short, critics see some safety claims overblown and seek more data on MIPS claims. The nonprofit Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute is critical of MIPS, noting “in the real world, bicycle helmets are so loosely coupled with the head that a slip-plane inside the helmet structure does not add significant sideways movement in an impact.” Before seeing the institute’s article I had thought about this on my own one day riding. It was cold, and I wore a thin hat underneath the Lazer helmet. There was no way, I’d reasoned, the plastic MIPS insert could function when not tight against my head. Other times I wore the chin strap loose on

casual rides. It’s unclear how tight a helmet must be for the MIPS liner to engage during an incident. But worn against my skull, I’ll take the possible extra protection, despite any controversy. MIPS adds almost no weight and does not compromise comfort. A small price increase comes with MIPS, but for the insurance I’d bank the upcharge as worth it. In the end, the $310 Lazer is hardly the only helmet with this technology. If you want it, many major brands now carry a MIPS option, and even Lazer has helmets for about half the price that include the yellow liner. Look at the Z1 MIPS only if you need a top-end road helmet that rides comfortably, fast, and can also protect, from multiple angles, in the event of a crash.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

Diners stop into Little Annie’s on its final day of operation, April 17.
THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING ... LITTLE ANNIE’S GIVES ITS FINAL GOODBYE LAST WEEKEND, we had to bid adieu to a favorite local establishment: Little Annie’s. The restaurant has had a slew of closing scares over the years, but, as the sign stated on the door Monday, this time the restaurant is “closed forever.” Little Annie’s first opened its doors in July of 1972. The year was easy to find but the exact month was more challenging. BARBARA PLATTS I spent several hours researching and finally found an article the week of July 13, 1972 in the Aspen Historical Society’s collection of old newspapers. There were several articles about businesses opening at that time. The news of those same businesses and others closing came in the 1990s or early 2000s. Little Annie’s was able to hold on much longer though. Through ownership changes and debt issues, the down to earth, tavernstyle restaurant always prevailed

in the 11th hour. The lifespan of restaurants in Aspen has never been particularly long. But there were the places that stuck around because of their history, because they were unapologetically themselves and because they didn’t cater to the upscale version of Aspen, they catered to the locals. Little Annie’s was one of the last ones standing. I think Annie’s durability through the changing Aspen terrain was due in large part to the huge heart of the place. It was apparent in the staff who had worked there forever and in the regular customers who called those bar stools home for the last four decades. It was even visible in people that weren’t regulars, but appreciated the establishment for what it represented. This wasn’t just a restaurant, a place to go to imbibe and eat. For the people who knew it best, it was a sanctuary, a dying breed in a town filling up with costly penthouses and overly priced cocktail bars. Little Annie’s had no glitz, it
proudly lacked glamour. It was a place where high profile was a description to be left at the door and that’s why everyone adored it. This past weekend, in the restaurant’s final days, I came in often to enjoy the food and the legendary shot and a beer combo. I was working on a story for Aspen Public Radio and was desperate to get down to the true heart behind the business. I thought people would be dying to share stories about the good old times, but I found most were weary of sharing the tales that they held dear about Little Annie’s. Maybe they were scared that if they shared, those could be taken from them as well. That those memories were all they had left of Little Annie’s and they were going to hold onto them at all costs. Although a few stories were told, I knew I had just barely grazed the surface of what had happened at 517 E. Hyman Ave. over the years, and that was OK. I wasn’t meant to know more than they wanted to share. Only way to get those stories would have been
to be there. On Monday, after the restaurant closed its doors, I went in to interview owner Rohn Fleming. The restaurant was practically empty, with just a few staff still around cleaning things up. Fleming talked to me about how the place was like a big family and how much they were all going to miss it. When we were finished, and I stood up to leave for the final time, I had to hold back a few tears. Little Annie’s was the last man, or woman, left and now it had officially fallen. As one of the people I interviewed said best, I’m not so sure what happens next. Barbara Platts hopes to see more restaurants like Little Annie’s in Aspen’s future. They are a valuable asset to the community and they have drinks at a wonderful discount. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

WINEINK
PRETEND IT’S SUMMER ... OPEN A BOTTLE OF ROSÉ EARLY SPRING is the time of year when, though winter has not quite let go, you can sense the first signs of summer just around the next corner. There’s no better way to celebrate that “summer-is–acomin’ spirit” than by twisting a cap, pouring a glass of softly pink rosé, tilting your face toward the spring sky, and taking a KELLY J. long, slow sip of the HAYES sun-kissed wine. Try it. I know you’ll get the feeling. America is in the third phase of a modern “Rosé Revolution.” Over the last decade, sales have risen dramatically each year, and no matter how pedestrian a restaurant is, a rosé is almost always on the wine list these days. In a January 2016 Nielson report, sales of dry rosé showed a 27.7 percent growth in the U.S. market last year. AMERICA RISES TO ROSÉ
The first phase of America’s modern love affair with pink wines began by accident in 1975. Bob Trinchero, one of California’s most significant winemakers and marketers, wanted to use his old Amador County zinfandel vines to make a lighter style of wine. Though he was a fan of French rosés from his travels, they were all but nonexistent on these shores at the time. Trinchero began by making pale pink wine under his Sutter Home label from his zinfandel, dubbing it “Oeil de Perdrix” or “Eye of the Partridge” as an homage to the French white wines made from red wine grapes. A nice wine to be sure, it has a place today in the Smithsonian, but a happy accident changed both the wine and history. It seems that following the harvest of 1975 there was a “stuck fermentation” in the production of the Sutter Home White Zin. That is, the fermentation stopped before all the available sugar in the wine had been converted to alcohol and CO2. The result was that the remaining residual
14
A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY
F
sugar made the wine sweeter, or more palatable, to the tastes of the time. The accident of the stuck fermentation resulted in the sweet Sutter Home White Zinfandel becoming one of the best-selling wines in America in the late ’70s and into the ’80s. Historically it became seen as the “gateway” wine for drinkers who became more adventurous, branching out to experiment with pinot noir, chardonnay, even cabernet sauvignon. In 1994, the Wine Spectator said that Sutter Home, largely due to its white zinfandel, had introduced more Americans to wine on the table than anyone in history. THE FRENCH COME TO THE HAMPTONS
But like all gateways, white zin became a little passé as tastes began to change. As drinkers became enraptured with the more savory styles and flavors of wines, the sweetness of the white zins that were made by just about every big winery in the business became a source for derision. Wine drinkers of the ’90s were beyond all of that sweetness. They were all grown up now. So for a time, rosé was relegated either to those who bought by the box or to the finer wine shops that continued to stock smallproduction wines from the South of France. But in the early oughts, a few French producers of drier styles of rosé wines set their sights on the trendier tasters of the day. Brands like Domaine Ott, and especially Whispering Angel, both from Southern France, began to show up on the summer wine lists of the hottest restaurants and clubs in Miami and The Hamptons. These wines were perfect for the times — refreshing, lower in alcohol and perfectly packaged — and they became the “it” wines for the pretty people. Soon the fad spread and the importation of French rosé, as well as rosés from other countries like Spain and Argentina, exploded. Even Brad and Angelina, as in Pitt and Jolie, got in the act when

they introduced the wines of Chateau Miraval to America. THE PINK WAVE
The third phase saw a new wave of American producers embracing rosé, creating wines that are young, fresh and delicious from a variety of different grapes. There are rosés from pinot noir, tempranillo and cabernet franc on the shelves and in the fridges of local wine shops and liquor stores. And yes, you can even find white zinfandel. Today, rosé is not just fashionable, it is popular again. Beyond taste there is another good reason for its surge of popularity: price. You can buy a good bottle of rosé and get change back for less than $15. Take a taste. Summer will be here soon. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and black Lab named Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.
UNDER THE INFLUENCE SIP ROSÉ 2015 AND GRAMERCY CELLARS 2014 OLSON VINEYARD ROSÉ: ONE FROM CALIFORNIA, ONE FROM WASHINGTON The SIP is 100 percent pinot noir from grapes sourced in Napa and Somoma. Vintage Point has come up with an elegant package for this debut wine with a straight-shouldered, angular bottle and an embossed label. Just a hint of sweetness, this dry wine is soft on the tongue and oh so refreshing. Put it in a bucket of ice and drink twice. Master Sommelier Greg Harrington chucked the life of a server for that of a farmer/winemaker when he moved to Washington. This beauty from the Yakima Valley shows he made the right move. A blend of cinsault, grenache and syrah, it may be the most balanced and nuanced rosé I have ever encountered.
by KELLY J. HAYES
LET IT BLEED There are number of ways to make rosé, but one of the most traditional is the saignée method. In the saignée method, grapes are stacked atop each other in the tanks. The weight of the grapes on top crushes the ones on the bottom and the juice flows freely out the bottom. The juice contacts the skins of the grapes for a very short time and picks up little color. Wines made using this method are very pale. Pronounced “son- yay,” it means “bleed” in French.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS
POWER UP
SICKNESS, INJURY, STRESS, HEARTACHE—HEAL IT ALL WITH FOOD WHEN A TOXIC, ABUSIVE relationship boils over, there’s no saving the soup. In my case, the metaphorical pressure cooker exploded, destroying the kitchen and burning me badly in the process. But I escaped to tell my story. Step one to healing was taking a stand. I built a case so solid that the judge felt compelled to slap the dirtbag with a permanent protection AMANDA RAE order, legally banning him from bothering me ever again. (Others are not so lucky. I learned from RESPONSE program director Jill Gruenberg that women in abusive situations attempt to break away an average of seven times before being successful. Seven times! The consequences can be devastating. If you or someone you care about is caught in rough circumstances, please seek help immediately. RESPONSE: 970-925-SAFE.) Free at last, and surfing a wave of self-empowerment after channeling Marcia Clark in the Pitkin County Courthouse, I began to investigate how food might help me recover — physically, from painful, crippling injuries, and emotionally, as I realized that my happy-go-lucky spirit had been held hostage and tortured for nearly a year by a shameless lunatic with an extensive record of violence. “Foods have the power to heal,” says Dr. Tom Lankering, a longtime Basalt-based chiropractor and certified practitioner of functional nutrition for over a decade. Lankering is an expert in using nutrition as a tool to help combat emotional stress in the body. I’ll circle back to this later. My primary concern: How to fade the black and blue bruises mottling my arms, wrists, thighs, knees, shins, hips, lower back, neck, forehead, and cheeks. Not only are soft-tissue injuries ugly, they’re tender to the touch — a result of broken blood vessels beneath the skin. I consulted tips from Dr. Andrew Weil, author of more than a dozen bestselling books including “Eating Well for Optimum Health.”

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

Weil suggests foods rich in vitamin K (dark leafy greens; cruciferous veggies such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts) to help regulate blood clotting and vitamin C to boost collagen production. Blueberries are tops, too, as flavonoids that lend their dark hue also help to strengthen capillary walls. Bromelain, an enzyme considered helpful in healing contusions and reducing inflammation and pain, is prevalent in pineapple. Unfortunately, the dosage Weil suggests for effective treatment (200-400 mg, three times daily) would be nearly impossible to consume in fruit form alone. (Pineapple’s fibrous core and woody stem boast the most bromelain, anyway; pill supplements are available.) Always consult a professional opinion, though: Research cautions that bromelain may interact with certain medications including antibiotics, which I’ve been taking to fight a nasty elbow infection as a result of an open wound and joint “bursa” (fluid-filled sac) sustained during a hard fall on that fateful night. Understanding that antibiotic drugs prescribed to wipe out bacterial infections also devastate beneficial bugs in the digestive tract, I’ve become more mindful of consuming probiotics to help replenish gut flora. “A healthy gut lays the foundation for your immune system, energy, and mood,” Lankering explains. As it happens, I’ve been on a fermentation kick since winter, evidenced by a giant olive jar of sauerkraut that lives in my fridge. Sauerkraut is one of the simplest fermented foods to DIY, and once you realize the egregious markup of commercially available brands, you’ll cringe at buying it again. It’s made of just cabbage, salt, and time, dear readers! My method: Shred one head of cabbage (about three pounds). Place in big bowl with 1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt. Massage 10 minutes (now’s a good time to pop in earbuds and call Mom). Pack cabbage and juices into a large glass jar. Insert a smaller, clean jar filled with rice or
Apr il 2 1 - Apr il 27 , 2016
something heavy into the larger jar to keep cabbage submerged in its own liquid. Leave this assembly on a countertop, out of sunlight, to ferment at least three days. (I prefer mine potent and slightly fizzy after 13 days.) My orthopedic doctor, Eleanor F. von Stade, gave me the green light on probiotics, with a caveat: Do not consume them at the same time as the antibiotic, as the pill will likely counteract any benefit, she says. Integral to joint health is collagen, glucosamine, and chondroitin sulfate, so I’ve been simmering chicken stock nearly nonstop in the past few weeks. A slew of products have hit supermarket shelves in the past year, as gelatinous “bone broth” is the buzzy darling of the Paleo movement. Yet there’s something deeply comforting about a giant pot of garlic, onions, and bird bones bubbling away for hours on the stovetop — during a snowstorm, especially. Beef bones are richer in collagen and nutrients, but that’s not the stock I like to sip. One major benefit to embarking on a holistic eating program: cooking more. Ironically, my abuser ekes out a living as a cook in Aspen (perhaps not for much longer), which led me to all but abandon my first true love — cooking — during much of our relationship. I suspect
that my body was not getting what it craved — colorful fresh veggies in particular — which may be why I fell prey to negative feelings that tend to push an uneasy mind into a downward spiral. (The link between depression/anxiety and diet is heavily documented.) Cooking, for me, is deeply therapeutic. Along with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals in a rainbow of plant-based foods, the meditative act of making stock or massaging cabbage can soothe the effects of intense emotional stress (what Lankering calls adrenal fatigue) such as sallow, freaked-out skin and persistent sadness. As I mentioned in the beginning, there is a happy, though bittersweet, ending to all this: I’m hell-bent on treating myself better. Apparently, it shows. Recently I met up with a friend — the kind who knows better than to ask outright how I’m doing. Instead, she saw progress on my face. “You’re glowing!” she exclaimed. Her words were music to my ears. Because let’s be honest: looking (and feeling) great is the best revenge. Amanda Rae is grateful for support and guidance from RESPONSE (970-925-SAFE) and her Aspen family of friends and mentors. amandaraewashere@gmail.com

MOOD FOODS Instead of getting sucked into the shame spiral of emotional eating (pizza and ice cream, how I adore thee) I’ve been channeling anxious energy into preparing nutrient-dense superfoods at home. Quite comforting lately: A bowl of savory oatmeal with garlic, red pepper flakes, and iron-rich spinach topped with a poached egg and a sprinkling of hemp hearts. I add 1⁄8 cup of amaranth, a high-protein ancient grain that looks like birdseed but lends a chewy crunch when cooked, to every ½ cup of rolled oats. Magnesium, potassium, calcium, and B vitamins in oats are known to help balance mood. Nuts are solid sources of magnesium and B vitamins, too. Cashews are also high in tryptophan, an amino acid that aids serotonin production. I whiz up homemade cashew milk chai with fresh ginger, ground spices, sea salt, and a splash of Vermont maple syrup (see recipe, below) for a thick, creamy, slightly spicy treat that makes a decadent nightcap without any threat of a nextday hangover.
MAKE IT CASHEW MILK CHAI Makes about 3 ½ cups 1 cup raw cashews, soaked 2 hours or overnight, rinsed, and drained 3 cups filtered water ½” fresh ginger root, chopped (more if you like it spicy) 1 teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon cardamom ¼ teaspoon salt 1 ½ tablespoons pure maple syrup Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth, about two minutes. Adjust salt, sugar, and spices, if desired. (Strain through a nut-milk bag or cheesecloth to make it super-silky, though with decreased fiber and nutrients.) Refrigerate in an airtight container up to three days.

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS
KOSHER-FOR-PASSOVER As a cocktail writer, I get plenty of pitches. But when this one landed in my inbox, I knew it was worthy of some ink — if only because Gunilla would have loved it (though the recipes are awfully inciting in and of themselves). Here’s the gist: There are many spirits that are kosher, but very few that are Kosher-for-Passover. Apparently, after creating No. 209 Gin in 2005, founder Leslie Rudd wanted to craft a modern spirit that observant Jews could enjoy during Passover. Thus No. 209 Kosher-for-Passover Gin was born, followed shortly after by No. 209 Kosher-for-Passover Vodka. Both spirits are made under the supervision of the Orthodox Union to make sure the recipe and practices adhere strictly to kosher dietary law. I am far from Jewish, but always up for celebrating important holidays. I guess Passover is now on my list.

GRAND CENTRAL 5Point serves up an afternoon of Grand Canyon films and speakers by Andrew Travers
FOR ARTISTS, DEPICTING THE GRAND CANYON
is irresistible and impossible. Easels and tripods (and, these days, selfie sticks) are a fixture along its rim. Tourists and hobbyists along with some of the world’s most talented painters and photographers emerge daily to attempt replicating this gorgeous hole in the ground. But, of course, nothing can duplicate its intricacies and unfathomable vastness.

Flagstaff-based filmmaker James Q. Martin has profiled artists with deep and long relationships with the canyon in his new film, “The World Beneath the Rims,” which has its world premiere at the 5Point Film Festival on Sunday, April 23 in an afternoon program dedicated to the Grand Canyon. “This landscape has a magnetic power for a certain kind of artist,” Kevin Fedarko, author of the 2013 instant classic of the canyon, “The Emerald Mile,” says in the film. “They’re unable to resist its pull because they find themselves swept downstream and into it, both physically and metaphorically.” Fedarko, who spent 10 years writing his book and manning a poo-hauling boat on the Colorado River in the canyon, serves as a guide in the film, helping weave together the stories of painter Bruce Aiken and photographer Amy Martin. Aiken lived inside the canyon from 1973 to 2006, overseeing the public water supply for the National Park Service, raising a family 5.5 miles below the North Rim, and painting the landscape around him. Amy Martin, whose mother floated the river while pregnant with her, has spent more than a decade photographing in the canyon while serving as a ranger, a boat guide and a science technician. To the untold artists painting and shooting photos on the rim, Aiken pleads for them to (quite literally) go deeper: “I urge you to go below the rim and stay below the rim for days and days and days on end and watch the light and wait and watch. And then also to pay attention to the water in the canyon — the sound of it, the scent, the entire aroma. It’s almost erotic.” Telling Aiken’s story had been a career-long ambition for Q. Martin, the director. He’d befriended the painter and long been fascinated with his decades inside Grand Canyon. When the nonprofit conservation organization American Rivers approached Q. Martin about making a film related to the canyon and the massive Tusayan development proposing to build more than 2,000 homes near the South Rim, he pitched a profile of Aiken as a vehicle for the story. That idea evolved into “The World Beneath the Rims.” “Through the course of investigating and concepting the story, we thought, ‘How cool would it be to feature artists of the Grand Canyon? And not just a painter — what about a writer and a photographer?” he told me in a phone interview from Flagstaff. The filmmaker saw Fedarko, Aiken and Amy Martin’s stories as a sort of triptych encapsulating three different mediums and three distinct entry points to the canyon: Fedarko first came to the canyon at 37, Aiken at 17 and Amy Martin in utero. Like the artists struggling to do the Grand Canyon justice, the filmmaker found their expansive stories

difficult to capture. “Their personal stories were almost as intimidating as the massive aspect of the canyon,” he says. “Like, what aspect of the story do you tell of a man who has spent over 40 years obsessed with the Grand Canyon? What vignette? What light are you going to shine on that unique story?” Q. Martin also does his part adding to the canon of artistic depictions of the Grand Canyon — peppered between interviews and archival footage, “The World Beneath the Rims” features some memorable timelapses of shifting light on limestone wall, cloud cover undulating above and below the rims and slow motion rapids and waterfalls. Martin spent about a year making the film, and tracked weather patterns daily to get those images. “We’d literally watch the weather and be like, ‘Hey, it might be gnarly up there, it might be moody. Let’s head up and try to get some stuff,’” he recalls. An eloquent, often poetic portrait of the canyon, its artists and its water, “The World Beneath the Rims,” Q. Martin hopes, will motivate viewers to cling tighter to the natural world.
“I really hope it’s going to be a piece that’s going to inspire audiences and bring a strong emotional connection to the places that they love, that they have important connections to,” he said. Loving the Grand Canyon, as with all wild places, almost inevitably evolves into fighting to preserve it. Both “The World Beneath the Rims” and Basalt-based photographer/filmmaker Pete McBride’s “Martin’s

Boat” address current threats on the canyon, which include uranium mining on the north rim, a proposed tramway on the canyon floor in the south, helicopter flights that operate between the east and west, and the town of Tusayan’s plan for residential develop on 400 acres. McBride’s film — also screening Sunday — offers a loving portrait of the late legendary Grand Canyon river runner Martin Litton along with the guides and boat-builders who carry on his legacy in the Grand Canyon Dories fleet. “There’s something mystic about a dory,” Litton says in the film. “Those that come to dories never seem to go away.” Like “The World Beneath the Rims,” McBride’s film also features Fedarko, who is becoming something of an unofficial poet laureate for the canyon. Fedarko and McBride are currently collaborating on a National Geographic story about the environmental threats against the canyon. McBride will be at 5Point, fresh off of a river trip with Fedarko. While chasing their story, the pair hiked the Grand with canyoneering icon Rich Rudow (who is also coming to Carbondale for Sunday’s program). Rudow has spent more than 800 days below the rims of the canyon. He first ventured there for a commercial rafting trip — a gift from his wife — in 1989. In the years since, he’s explored 165 of its slot canyons, sliding into nooks and crannies that have never been explored by humans. Those slot canyon adventures were the subject of the documentary “The Last Great Unknown,” which screened at the 2012 5Point Film Fest. “Every time you peel away a layer of the onion, there’s something else to go see,” Rudow told me from his home near Phoenix. “At some point I realized that the Grand Canyon is bigger than a lifetime.” Recently spending 57 days hiking the 600-plus mile length of the Grand Canyon, from Lee’s Ferry to Pearce Ferry, provided a unique glimpse of the man-made impacts on the canyon. “That’s the crux of what Pete and Kevin are trying to document now,” he says. “From Mylar balloons to being hit with 300 helicopter flights a day going over the river and over the national park and everything in between, you see water sources that are contaminated with uranium, you find poaching of game animals, raided archeological sites.” The experience reshaped his relationship with the Grand Canyon. After decades of plotting new terrain from a climbing harness, he’s more interested now in plotting a future for his beloved canyon through conservation and fighting off man-made encroachment. “My attention these days is focused less on the next big adventure,” he says, “and more on ensuring that 20, 30 years from now somebody can go and have some of the same experience I’ve had there.” atravers@aspentimes.com

VOYAGES
DESTINATION | GUYANA
GUYANA’S RAIN FOREST: WATERFALLS, CLIFFS, TINY GOLDEN FROGS FROM 6,000 FEET above Guyana’s rain forest, the jungle canopy below spread to the horizon in every direction, like wall-to-wall green carpeting. Winding, mud-brown tributaries of the Demerara River shimmered in the sunlight. My endless view of the jungle and the aggressive hum of the plane’s propellers eventually drowned out the grittiness I’d experienced in the capital, Georgetown. Headed for Kaiteur Falls, I began to relax, for the first time in three days. I’d come to this South American nation to see where my fatherin-law grew up, and my husband prepared me for conditions I wasn’t exactly used to. The gargantuan bugs, he warned, were as ubiquitous as the abject poverty. I went into the trip with an open mind but slathered myself with insect repellent so strong that it actually rubbed varnish off wooden furniture. Those first days in Georgetown, though, I felt like a target. Crime is rampant and unemployment is high. I was hassled by vendors
working from ramshackle stalls, and I was told it wasn’t safe for me to go anywhere alone, even during the day, or walk anywhere at night, even in groups. One bartender insisted we take a taxi three blocks as the sun was setting, and he provided a password to make sure we got the cab he called: “ambassador.” I couldn’t wait for our excursion to the country’s interior. The plane took off from a small airfield near Georgetown, hooked a left for an aerial view of the low-rise capital, and veered south over the vast expanse of green. About 90 minutes later, we bounced onto an airstrip with the buzz from a brief, disconcerting alarm and came to a stop about 200 yards from the cliff that produces one of the world’s largest waterfalls. A guide told our group of about a dozen that the Potaro River drops a staggering 741 feet, about the height of the Time Warner Center in New York. The waterfall gets its name from Kai, a Patamona chief who according to legend paddled his
canoe over it in self-sacrifice to appease Makonaima, the Great Spirit, and protect his tribe from raiding rivals. As the guide led us through lush vegetation, he helped us search for tiny golden frogs, small as yellow M&Ms, that live their entire lives in pools in the leaves of giant bromeliads, a relative of the pineapple that grows 15 feet tall. He pointed to other highlights: a rubber tree with a fruit resembling a red onion; a vine you can slice and drink water from; a sticky scarlet moss that traps insects, one of six carnivorous plants in the park. Closer to the falls, the distant “shhhhhh” of crashing water rose to a low rumble. I clambered over and under gigantic boulders and up to an overlook, taking in my first view of the cascade freefalling into the verdant canyon. I ignored signs to stay at least 8 feet from the edge, getting low to peer into the straight drop dozens of stories below as low passing clouds blended with the rising mist. Over the next couple of hours,
we hiked trails around the waterfall and scaled up to two more lookout points for closer, even more stunning views. Standing at the third, I realized this was the most isolated place I’d ever been. The falls are at least a three-day trek from the nearest road. Rejuvenated, I returned to Georgetown for another few days with newfound appreciation for Guyana. I soon learned there’s hope in the capital since a new government took power last year, with efforts to clean up both the corruption and litter that have deterred tourists. Already, my in-laws said, the capital was cleaner than they remembered. Meanwhile, all those taxi rides were cheap, averaging about $2 U.S. per trip, and we traversed the city in search of hidden delights. I sopped up probably a dozen versions of curry with roti, the Indian flatbread, including one made from labba, an herbivorous jungle rodent the size of a lamb. And cook-up rice that was on nearly every menu — a varying one-pot dish with black-eyed peas and coconut milk — reminded me this former British colony shares more in common with the Caribbean than its Latin neighbors to the south. By the end, I was weaving through crowds at the main Stabroek Market with the confidence of a local. More comfortable now, I chatted with vendors about the cornucopia of exotic fruits, settling on a fragrant bag of red bananas. On our last night in town, a cousin of my husband’s took us to a bar, Seeta’s. It was the only place I saw that was packed after dark. We knocked back a few bottles of Banks beer, mixed in with the crowd and met plenty of warm, inviting people, and I finally saw the other side of this evolving destination.
The 741-foot high Kaiteur Falls in Guyana’s verdant rain forest. According to legend, the waterfall on the Potaro River was named after a Patamona chief named Kai, who paddled over it in self-sacrifice to protect his tribe from raiding rivals.

BOOK REVIEW
‘HALF AN INCH OF WATER: STORIES’ UPLIFTING ENDINGS are as popular in Western literature as umbrellas in the desert. Sad stories sell. Desperados that inhabit notable works of renowned writers like Annie Proulx and Sherman Alexie tend toward drunken violence and tragic denouements. Percival Everett, an African-American author of nearly 30 books, takes a different tack in his new collection of nine short stories, “Half an Inch of Water.” No matter what crisis Everett unloads on his characters, hope lingers like the scent of sagebrush in the wind. They tend to get lost, physically and emotionally, as they search the wilderness for meaning. Sometimes they find themselves by connecting with others whose hardscrabble lives appear grounded in reality. In Everett’s world, people need each other to survive. In “A High Lake,” a lonely widow loses her way on horseback in the mountains with fearless abandon. “Dying in the saddle was a
romantic way to go, she thought.” A single parent in “Exposure,’’ worried about losing ties with a teenaged daughter, tries to show his love for her on an outing to Burnt Lake. Spot-on dialogue between clumsy dad and rebellious child foreshadows doom when a cougar enters the scene. A 14-year-old boy in “Stonefly,” whose sister drowned years ago in a river, goes fishing to ease the burden he feels from distraught parents. Everett paints this scene with understated detail, and some of the most elegant writing of this collection. In a scene reminiscent of Ernest Hemingway’s Nick Adams’ stories, Everett writes: “He cast the fly out and it disturbed the water awfully. But as soon as it landed, the big fish was on it. The trout bit the fly and pulled it deep. Daniel suffered from trigger lock. He was frozen, shocked. He finally gave a yank to set the hook. The trout took off downstream.” The finest story, “Little Faith,” exposes a cultural gap in the West that Everett

describes deftly. When a white rancher with a pregnant mare in dire straits confesses to his AfricanAmerican veterinarian, “You know, you’re okay,” the doctor responds, “How’s that?” The rancher confesses, “You know, being a black vet out here, I had my doubts.” Not all nine stories are winners. “Finding Billy Whitefeather” has a mystical quality that stumbles over a weak plot. “Liquid Glass” gets Stephen King-ish: it’s about a box containing a severed head and not much else. Nobody escapes unscathed in Everett’s fiction. His world operates according to Darwin’s rules, but however bleak it appears, it teems with convincing characters, persistent folks who figure out how to survive.
