THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with JEANNE MCGOVERN

CURRENTEVENTS VISUAL ARTS A UNIQUE ARTS partnership wraps up this week with a reception featuring artists and writers who have collaborated to bring the two art forms together in one unique show Anderson Ranch’s Patton-Malott Gallery. The joint exhibit, which features the written works from local writers along with visual artwork from Anderson Ranch staff/artists, opened on March 11. It began with eight writers each submitting a 250-word “artist statement” to the Aspen Writers’ Foundation. The statements were written from the viewpoint of a fictional artist or from that of a real artist that the writer wanted to portray. Each written statement was then assigned to a different staff member/ artist of Anderson Ranch. The artists utilized the written statements as the

WRITTEN WORD

inspiration for creating a piece of artwork that mirrors the statement. “This is an incredibly fun project for both the writers and the artists,” said Jenene Nagy, Artistic Director of Painting and Chair of Gallery Exhibits at Anderson Ranch. “Combining these two powerful artistic forms into one exhibit allows writers the opportunity to show their work in a very visual way, while providing artists with the challenge of expressing the passion and vision of another artist, whether fictional or real, through their chosen medium.” The exhibit didn’t end with the artists’ statements and works of art, as the writers then viewed the works of art created by the artists and created a 1,000-word essay about the work that was created. On Tuesday, April 29, the writers will read their essays during a public reception from 5 to 7 p.m. “Collaborating with an organization

such as the Aspen Writers’ Foundation always creates opportunity for developing engaging dialogue, which is an integral part of the Ranch’s mission,” said Nagy. “Our staff was excited to work with the writers on this unique and fun project, and we can’t wait to share this exhibit with the artistic community.”

IT MIGHT BE OFFSEASON for skiers and serious partiers, but it’s quite the opposite for poets or lovers of this literary genre — especially this week in Aspen. Begin on Sunday, April 27, with Live Poetry Night at Victoria’s Espresso and Wine Bar, where the Aspen Poets’ Society will celebrate National Poetry Month with an open mic night featuring Young Voices of the Roaring Fork Valley. The event begins at 6:30 p.m.; “A Democracy of Poets,” Aspen Poets’ Society’s first anthology, also will be available for purchase. Then, on Wednesday, April 30, it’s Poetesses in the Parlor at Justice Snow’s. The evening of poetry — featuring Valerie Haugen, Riley Marshall, Lynn Alyia and Alya Howe — begins at 8:30 p.m., and promises to be standing-room-only.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with JOHN COLSON

Is that pot I smell, or the fragrance of fear? SO, SUNDAY was the first-ever 4/20 celebration in Denver that took place under new laws permitting adults to smoke pot legally. Of course, the new laws prohibit smoking pot in public, so there reportedly were a few arrests and tickets issued by police. But the plain fact is that perhaps up to 80,000 people came off their front porches, out of their living rooms, or drove in from states across the union to celebrate the end, in this state, of the long-standing, unjustifiable prohibition against marijuana, a policy that has its roots deep in the racially biased and morally intolerant bowels of federal bureaucracy dating back to the 1930s. Interestingly, one thing that came out of all this is the unfortunate truth that America’s governmental functionaries are scared out of their wits by what’s happened in Colorado, Washington (state, not D.C.) and other states around the country that either have already moved toward decriminalizing the weed or are poised to do so. On Monday’s Diane Rehm show on National Public Radio, three technocrats of the nanny state showed guest host Susan Page of USA Today exactly how scared they were. Dr. Robert Dupont, president of the Institute for Behavior and Health and a former director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, revealed his bias by claiming that pot is a “gateway drug” leading to the use of harder drugs, a claim that is now considered ludicrous and a sign of intellectual vacuity on the part of those who cite it. Dupont also argued at one point that marijuana obviously is dangerous because it is illegal, and should be illegal because it is dangerous. When Eric Sterling, president of the Criminal Justice Policy Foundation accused Dupont of being “tautological” (meaning his statement was redundant and relied on its own internal logic to prove itself), Dupont had no answer. Two other guests — Beau Kilmer, co-director of the RAND Drug Policy Research Center and co-author of “Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Needs to Know,” and Dr. Nora Volkow, who serves as director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse — both spoke at length on the dangers of pot, citing studies that have been trotted

out unimpressively by antipot bureaucrats and cops for years. The three fearful bureaucrats — Dupont, Kilmer and Volkow — chose to hew their arguments close to the official gibberish that has been discredited and derided by pot smokers since the 1960s. The three clearly hoped that the radio audience would choose to believe what they want us to believe, what they have told us to believe, rather than open our eyes and our minds to a different truth. And that truth is this: Sure, pot is potentially deleterious to young brains, hampering their development at a critical stage in life, which is why its use is and should be restricted to adults. Sure, pot is a psychotropic drug, and such drugs are by definition a form of escape from the harsh realities of everyday life, but so what? Sure, pot can be a problem for psychotic or other deeply disturbed individuals, and probably should not be handed to such persons indiscriminately, but should all pot smokers be liable for jail time because some can’t handle it? Pot is not as dangerous as booze or tobacco, in terms of the numbers of people who die directly as a result of overconsumption. And the use of pot should not be the kind of thing that lands the user in prison, which is the unfortunate consequence of pot smoking for perhaps a half-million inmates in this country’s jails and prisons today. Returning to the opening idea of this column — the idea that the nation’s bureaucrats and health-care managers are scared by the growing move to legalize pot — one might ask a simple question: Why are they scared? As far as I can see, the reason is this — our leaders at all levels do not want to admit, to themselves or anyone else, that this nation’s policies regarding pot have been wrong, criminally wrong, for more than 80 years, based on nothing other than bureaucratic inertia, bad science and racist beliefs that date back to the early 20th-century. They don’t want to admit that because, once that is out, who knows what other bedrock beliefs, long-held policies and other foundations of the status quo might also be challenged and overturned.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

High-altitude snowstorms quickly buried miners’ cabins.

A MINER’S CROSS-COUNTRY FEAT During a fact-finding journey in 1935, my father heard of an amazing skiing feat, one that even Aspen’s best cross-country skiers would admire. John Lambertson approached the Midnight Mining Co., in the fall of 1935, seeking investment funding. At the time he had a lease on the Star Mine in Taylor Park near Italian Mountain. He was making a living with it, but proposed he could vastly increase his profits if he updated his mining equipment and acquired milling machinery to process lessergrade ore. The Midnight sent my father to inspect Lambertson’s workings to determine whether the company should enter into a partnership. Despite early snow at high elevations, Lambertson and my father figured they could get within a few miles of the mine by car; they left Aspen in father’s 1933 V8 Ford. They had to drive to Grand Junction, head to Montrose and Gunnison, and then head for Taylor Park. They had to stop for car repairs, so they spent the night in Gunnison. There they ran into Bob Stewart, who also had mining property near the Star. Stewart was making his last trip to his mine before winter, so they joined forces with both cars.

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

By the time they got to Dorchester, the snow was piling up; they left father’s car and continued in Stewart’s higherclearance vehicle. They had traveled one more mile up the Spring Creek road when Stewart’s car got stuck in deep snow. Planning to overwinter the

their journey to the Star and warmed up beside a fire in the bunkhouse/ cookhouse stove. They then began their mine inspection by climbing down the shaft ladder, but 50 feet down, father realized he had forgotten his Brunton compass, required to

WHEN FATHER REACHED THE COOKHOUSE, HE SMELLED SMOKE. THE STOVEPIPE HAD SET A RAT’S NEST ON FIRE. FLAMES SPREAD TO THE ROOF. HE SHOUTED FOR LAMBERTSON AND THEY PUT OUT THE FIRE. IT HAD BEEN A CLOSE CALL BECAUSE THE COOKHOUSE WAS RIGHT NEXT TO THE MINE SHAFT; FIRES IN SHAFT BUILDINGS SUCKED OXYGEN, OFTEN KILLING UNSUSPECTING MINERS BELOW. car on the spot, Stewart drained the oil and radiator. The three men took turns breaking trail, at times wading through drifts three feet deep, and made it to Stewart’s mine by evening. The next morning father and Lambertson climbed the last leg of

Apr il 2 4 - Apr il 30, 2014

survey the mine’s geologic layers. He climbed back to the surface. When father reached the cookhouse, he smelled smoke. The stovepipe had set a rat’s nest on fire. Flames spread to the roof. He shouted for Lambertson and they put out the

fire. It had been a close call because the cookhouse was right next to the mine shaft; fires in shaft buildings sucked oxygen, often killing unsuspecting miners below. The mine inspection revealed that Lambertson had exposed several significant silver deposits. Previously he had been turned down for funding because the price of silver had fallen during those Depression years and his mine’s high elevation required more expense to operate. The Midnight also decided against the investment, but father picked up a moving story from decades before. Lambertson and his brother had been working a mine in the same area during winter when the brother had become very ill; without medicine he might die. John strapped on the skis that he relied on all winter for transportation, and headed over Taylor Pass. He skied down to Ashcroft and on into Aspen, consulted with a doctor and, unrested, skied precious medication up mountain, back to the mine. Despite John’s heroic effort, his brother died while he was gone. The trip — Taylor Park to Aspen and back on crude skis — demonstrated John Lambertson’s tough body and loyal heart. 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.

JAIL BREAK

1891 ASPEN

ON JAN. 13, 1891, the Aspen Daily Times reported on a jail break, with a headline proclaiming “Jack Kerwin and James Young tire of jail life and bid the place goodbye.” The jail was due to be replaced, and the paper explained that, “the old jail on Hyman Avenue which has done duty so many years, was not to be abandoned without another escape of prisoners from its walls. A few more days and the men confined in this old shell would have been removed to the secure steel cages in the new jail. But the birds have flown and are now giving the officers a bad chase. The break occurred at about half past 7 o’clock last night. The way it was done was the simplest thing imaginable. The boards of the floor near the west wall were pried up and the men dug on under the wall. The work of tunneling out was done in the day time. One man would probably stand guard while the other worked. It is thought they must have went down the river and will attempt to board a freight train. It would be impossible for them to get out over the ranges at this time of year unless they were especially fixed for the trip.” The photo above shows West Hyman Avenue, circa 1890. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK

LIGHTHOUSE 250: THE HIGH-TECH CAMP LANTERN

GROWING UP, our family camping lantern was a fragile, glass-sided blazer that ran on white gas. Today, I can plug my lantern, the Lighthouse 250 from Goal Zero, into a USB port on a computer for a charge. There’s a crank on top, too, letting me add power in a couple of minutes by spinning the electricity-generating arm. Wire legs snap down for a support stand. The Sputnik-

like Lighthouse is unique to say the least. At a campsite it puts out its namesake 250 lumens of light. That’s enough illumination to set up a tent or spot an animal high in a tree. Tone down the dial and the lantern’s LED offers a gentle glow to read by at a table. Ambient light is only part of the package. On the body of the lantern is a USB port ready to give power and recharge gadgets or phones. I plugged my iPhone in one day to test and the Lighthouse acted like a wall outlet — about 15 minutes on the lantern and my dead phone was 10 percent recharged and ready for use. A line of blue LED lights on the face of the lantern give a battery level reading. Just be sure to plug the Lighthouse in for a charge before heading into the wilds — the unit requires about seven hours plugged to a USB power source to fully charge its internal battery pack. But from a charge-up the unit is good for a whole weekend of camping. At its “low” setting, the Lighthouse will run for up to 24 hours straight with 360-degrees of LED glow. It connects to a solar panel if you run out of power in the field. Or the hand-crank on top is a great backup; it produces about 10 minutes of light for every one minute spent spinning. The Lighthouse is not built for ultralight backpacking where you count every ounce — the unit weighs more than a pound and measures about 6 inches tall. But for canoe trips, car camping or wilderness pack-ins where you want a light and need a charger, too, the Goal Zero could be your guy. Stephen Regenold is the founder of www.gearjunkie.com

WINEINK

BURGUNDY: THE WINEMAKERS’ FAVORITE WINES OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS I have had a chance to sit with a number of winemakers and ask them an obvious question. I first asked a Canadian winemaker between ski runs on Aspen Mountain. Then, the next day, I posed the question to a winemaker from Washington as we rode a chairlift on Snowmass. Similarly, on a trip to California KELLY J. the following week, HAYES I again asked the same question of three winemakers in their respective caves and barrel rooms. “What are your favorite wines?” All five responded with one word: Burgundy. Now, all five of these winemakers have dabbled in the production of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but their primary wines range from Port to Cabernet. And yet, when asked, they all answered with the same response. Why are the wines from Burgundy considered by those who make wines to be the finest in the world? Well, if you have ever tasted a Grand Cru Burgundy, I’m sure that you will have some clue based on your own experiences. The nuances of a great Pinot Noir can be revelatory, and the silkiness of a Chardonnay from the region can change how one thinks about wine. Not just a wine from Burgundy itself, but any wine. There are more people in the wine world who have their world rocked by wines from the Grand Cru vineyards of Burgundy then those from just about anywhere else. Yes, including Champagne and Bordeaux. When these five winemakers answered my question with the word “Burgundy” they are generally speaking of very specific selections of wines from a tiny section of a much larger region that produces many styles of wines.

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

They are specifically referring to the amazing wines of the Grand Cru vineyards, the most valuable and sought-after vineyard land on Earth. In the classification system of Burgundy, a tiny percentage of wines qualify as Grand Cru. These are wines that originate in the 1,400 or so acres that have been officially designated as the very best, the creme de la creme, of Burgundy. They total less than 2 percent of all the vineyards in Burgundy and account for less than 1.5 percent of the region’s total production. The names of these vineyards are legendary to Burghounds, or Burgophiles, as those who dabble in the rarefied air of the Grand Cru world are occasionally referred. Romanée-Conti, Richebourg, La Tâche and Échezeaux are tiny vineyards, all under a 100 acres (Romanée-Conti itself is less than five acres), and are the cradles of the great red wines of the Côte de Nuits. And to the south, in the Côte de Beaune, the Grand Cru vineyards of Corton-Charlemagne, Bâtard Montrachet and Montrachet play host to the beautiful and much sought-after Chardonnays that are the basis for the white wines of Burgundy. If you have the means to afford these wines and to drink them on a regular basis, then you do indeed have means. A love affair with these wines can and has become an obsession for many. The attraction for these wines is myriad. There is the taste — and that is an inexplicable thing as it changes from vineyard to vineyard, from maker to maker and from vintage to vintage. Great Burgundy defies description although the words power and delicacy, fruity and flowery, balanced and intense often alternate in any conversation of the wines. Then there is the cost and prestige that make drinking Burgundy a rite of habit for those who prefer the very best. Even if they are not necessarily certain why

Apr il 2 4 - Apr il 30, 2014

it is the best. But you can drink Burgundy without having to pay the price of the Grand Crus. 98 percent of all Burgundy does not carry the prestige of the Grand Cru, nor does it carry the price. Below the Grand Cru are the Premier Cru designations and then come the Village wines. Burgundy lies to the east of Paris, and the northern-most portion of the region, Chablis, is just over two hours away by car. This area is well known for the production of dry white wines made from the Chardonnay grapes. At the southern end of Burgundy is Beaujolais, a region that is best known for making fruity young red wines from the Gamay grape. These wines can be fun, easy-drinking reds and you can find a good Beaujolais for less

than $15 a bottle. But it is the wines from the heart of the region that truly inspire. I suggest that if you wish to learn about Burgundy, find a producer with a range of wines from the region. Start with the Village wines, then move up the ladder. Try the wines from Chablis and Beaujolais. Read a book or two. Eventually, the region will begin to make sense and you’ll start wondering what a ’37 Volnay or a ’42 La Tache tastes like. But I warn you, like winemakers from all over the world, you may become hooked. Kelly J.

A GOOD READ ‘The Wines of Burgundy’ By Clive Coates Coates has made a life and a living off of the lands of Burgundy while never making wine. His “Côte D’Or: A Celebration of the Great Wines of Burgundy” canonized the vineyards. This book, published in 2008, provides a broader overview of the region. A must-have for those who are fascinated by the wines and the vineyards of Burgundy.

‘LIVING ALOHA’

TAP TAKEOVER KICKS OFF SPRING AT SURE THING BURGER AT 5 P.M. LAST SATURDAY, Sure Thing Burger in Willits Town Center is mobbed. Already at least a hundred people have gathered here, three doors down from Starbucks in the Parkside Building, for the restaurant’s first Tap Takeover. A ticket to the event, which boasts unlimited pints of five specialty brews from the new Roaring Fork Beer Company (RFBC) in Carbondale AMANDA plus all the food one RAE can grab, is just $10. No surprise, then, that smiling patrons of all ages spill out of the 40-seat restaurant onto the lawn. “Wow, is this for real?” chirps a woman waiting in line. “Ten bucks, all you can drink, plus free food? What a deal!” Eventually, with a Belgian Blonde in tow, I find Sure Thing co-owner Scott Picard out on the sidewalk. He’s partly out of breath. In between prepping burgers in the kitchen, he’s here, manning his new toy: a shiny stainless-steel competition pit smoker, custom built by barbecue champion friends in Houston, Texas. A glossy Sure Thing Burger logo is painted on the side. It arrived just days ago. “What goes better than burgers and beer?” Picard asks. He doesn’t wait for me to answer. “Barbecue!” Picard is beaming. He opens the vault to peeks at a foil-wrapped rack of Tender Belly pork ribs; his Milagro Ranch beef brisket was gobbled up by the ravenous masses almost immediately when set out about a half-hour earlier. “This is a vibrant audience,” Picard muses. He seems genuinely amazed at the turnout. “Look at the age, it’s 21 to 81. I grew up in Aspen. This is what happened when the season closed—this was the Merry-Go-

Round, Bonnie’s, the Sundeck. Everything we grew up with in the ’80s, ’90s, that’s now here. This is why we moved (back): community.” He pauses. “Think we could do this every week?” It’s not a stretch. A lot of people I talk to have heard of Sure Thing Burger, but only some have visited before today’s Tap Takeover. A few shoppers saw the crowd and wandered over to check it out. All agree: The vibe is fun, the food fantastic. Picard puts Sure Thing is in the “better burger category,” or food made with quality ingredients and freshness a step above the average fast-casual spot. Picard also credits what he calls the perfect burger-tobun ratio, using a loosely packed, griddle-smashed 7X Beef patty just shy of five ounces. Louis Swiss French Pastry in the ABC bakes the buns — an altitude-adjusted proprietary recipe that originated at the Picards’ original Sure Thing Burger in Lahaina, Hawaii, a modest window-takeaway shop just 150 feet from the ocean’s edge. They’re reminiscent of brioche, though not quite as sweet. “We pick ’em up daily, they don’t deliver,” Picard says. “That shows you our commitment.” But back to that crucial burgerto-bun ratio. “When they say size matters, its true,” Picard quips. “No one wants a huge bun. Nor do they want or need 8 ounces of burger.” Paleo dieters and gluten-free customers may order beef and turkey burgers ($6.95) sans bun, served on a big butter lettuce wrap. (Add a fried egg or avocado for $1.50 more). Sure Thing’s menu is straightforward — just burgers, fries, milkshakes, and craft beer on tap — but it also makes a zesty gluten-free Asian noodle salad (chicken optional) and a legit homemade veggie burger. Picard is similarly proud of his Eight Island

Apr il 2 4 - Apr il 30, 2014

Sauce, a zippy “nod to our island.” (The couple lived on Maui for 13 years before deciding to return to the Mainland to raise their three young daughters.) Ultimately, Picard hopes to create community around food and drink. “We represent the new commerce to Basalt: Young families, like (RFBC brewmaster) Chase Engel’s, like ours, our neighbors Matt and Breckie at Mauka (Frozen Yogurt),” he says. “It’s a good synergy.” Nearby, Engel is chatting with Robbie Bella-Smuts of Four Dogs Wines & Spirits, located next to Whole Foods nearby. The shop hosted a RFBC beer tasting on Friday. “Yesterday was huge success for us,” Bella-Smuts says of the firsttime collaboration. “(RFBC) beer is flying off of our shelves.”

Picard anticipates even more partnerships this summer. His new smoker will roll down to Glenwood Springs daily to serve hot lunches to daytrippers at Whitewater Rafting, and it will serve as the centerpiece of special events, including a crawfish boil barbecue around the Fourth of July and another Tap Takeover featuring Denver-based urban winery Infinite Monkey Theorem in August. “We have a saying: Live Aloha,” Picard says. “That’s a culture. We’re carrying on the legacy of Smoke and El Korita. They pioneered it all. This is the beginning of our legacy. Our aloha.” Going on a food adventure this offseason?

“I was on Maui and I heard it so often — it’s like the lexicon of new America,” says Sure Thing Burger co-owner Scott Picard. “I heard it at the beach, at restaurants, at the car wash. There should only be one answer in hospitality and that’s, ‘Sure thing.’ It’s the new ‘No problem.’”

ASPEN UNTUCKED

with BARBARA PLATTS

Writer Barbara Platts is booked into the Pitkin County Jail to experience first-hand what being incarcerated can be like.

YOUNG AND INCARCERATED:

A FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE IN THE PITKIN COUNTY JAIL I WAS BEHIND THE booking desk at the Pitkin County Jail when the intoxicated woman got escorted into the isolation cell on a Friday night. I was back there to see her transformation on Saturday morning as she strapped on her ski boots and headed toward the bus, court summons and counseling pamphlets in hand (see Cover Story, page 20). BARBARA I heard her screams PLATTS for hours the night before. Some of them flirted with the idea of suicide so a therapist from Mind Springs Health was called in to see her and clear her for release in the morning. This valley is thick with suicide attempts — and unfortunate successes — so the jail takes extra precaution when someone delivers a threat, small or large, about taking their own life. For hours, the deputies and I heard snippets from the woman’s life. Listening to her protests helped me realize that the real enemy wasn’t herself or the inmates that were trying to sleep over her noise. The enemy was the substance that brought her here and her dependence on it. When I came to this realization,

PHOTOS BY AUBREE DALLAS

the differences between her and me lessened. The differences between her and many people I know lessened. Not much separated me from her or the inmates decked out in orange except a bad experience, a wrong turn, a faulty decision that worsened over time. We all make mistakes, but when someone doesn’t have the awareness or the opportunity to seek help for those mistakes, they can turn into a pattern that ends up placing them in the system. I went into the jail because I wanted to see a different world — a place in our community that, for many, is shadowed in mystery. But when I walked through the thick, leaded door and sat down for lunch with two female inmates, I realized that this place was not another world, it was simply an extension of our community. An extension that’s often ignored by the general population. I found normal people in the jail. Not just the individuals that post an intoxicated fit until morning, but the inmates who live their day-to-day life in the Pitkin County Jail. Most of them have not been sentenced yet. They’re awaiting their court date, according to the premise that a person is innocent until proven guilty. But, for the time being, the jail is their home.

They have their own room, or “cell,” in which many of them put up photos, notes, or drawings to help personalize their environment. Most have a collection of books on their shelf that they read avidly to help stimulate their mind and distract them from the anxiety of their situation. They watch TV in their day room. They make puzzles and cook ramen in the multipurpose room. They do time, until they are told they don’t have to anymore. Jail administrator Don Bird told me during an interview that he has a great staff that he credits with the jail’s success. When making a new hire, he looks for a person who can relate well to others and connect with people on a personal level. He searches for individuals with “a strong element of compassion paired with some street-wise.” He also chooses people that can think for themselves and make decisions based on more than a rule book. After spending several shifts in jail with his staff (there are 14 of them, including Bird), I believe he has succeeded in his search. His staff doesn’t seem mean or power-hungry. They appear to really care. My beat in the Aspen Times

Weekly is millennials. I cover the younger generation in Aspen. So, naturally, I was eager to understand jail time and the Pitkin County Jail from a young person’s lens. The sad and predictable truth is that, like most things in Aspen, jail time centers around booze. Ending up in jail due to drinking too much isn’t an elusive scenario for anyone; in fact, it’s quite feasible. I dressed in a jail uniform in a photo shoot for this article. I even got fully shackled to try to understand what it felt like to be an inmate. And, I must admit, despite the seemingly plush accommodations and the pleasant staff, I have no interest in ever being in that situation legitimately. No matter how good the food is.

BEHIND LOCKED DOORS LIFE IN THE PITKIN COUNTY JAIL by BARBARA PLATTS

The funky clock in the jail office with the mismatched numbers reads 8:10, meaning that it is just about 11:00 p.m. on a Friday night. Three deputies rush toward the garage at the end of the hallway to greet a petite, inebriated woman who’s still wearing ski pants and ski boots. She begins to argue with them as they pull her from the police car and sit her in a chair to unstrap her boots. Then, as her ethanol-drenched mind grasps the situation, her protests turn to hysterical cries.

“I don’t deserve this,” she yells repeatedly as she’s wheeled in the chair past booking toward an isolation cell. “I just drank too much. I don’t deserve this.” Despite the scene, the deputies carry tranquility in their demeanor, making small talk with her about her favorite college football team as they place her in a cell, lower the blinds on the window, and shut the door. Immediately, the woman starts pounding her fists and screaming. “Please, please,” she screams. “I just want to go home.” The pounding continues. And then the stomping starts, creating a steady rhythm in the otherwise silent booking office. “It’s a nice beat,” deputy Debbie Kendrick says. “I just don’t think I can dance to it.” Kendrick does not paraphrase the classic American Bandstand line out of spite or animosity for the newest jail occupant. She says it simply to lighten up a gloomy mood that has taken over the office. “Sometimes when you see something sad on a constant basis, the only thing left to do is laugh about it,” she says.

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

The new inmate’s hysterics continue for hours. The woman throws her soft mattress across the room, rolls around on the floor, twirls from wall to wall, and even lies down and achieves leg lifts against the door. The deputies have given her cell phone back and offered her food and water in an attempt to calm her down. But she is inconsolable. The woman’s boundless amounts of energy and the faint, white doughnut around one of her nostrils leads them to believe that she has indulged in more than alcohol. “There is something in there that’s keeping her going,” deputy Walt Geister says. Despite the hours of pounding on the door, conducting acrobatics throughout the cell, and howling at the top of her lungs, Geister says she is one of the more polite overnight guests they’ve had. “You see people at their worst in here,” Geister says. “Some people are threatening to kill you and your family if you don’t let them out.” Kendrick agrees. “People yell at you. People spit at you. One guy bit his lip repeatedly until he was bleeding and spit his blood at us,” she says. For the staff of the Pitkin County Jail, stories like these are practically ordinary. The red brick building located directly behind the courthouse on Main Street, with 26 beds, books roughly 500 people a year. Out of that population, 50 percent bond out in the first 24 hours and 25 percent in three days. Bird estimates that 80 percent of inmates are booked because of substance abuse. “Most people in here break the law because of their substance-abuse issue,” Bird said. “It’s a sad situation because it’s controllable.” Often given the label of a country club or a five-star hotel, Pitkin County Jail has a national reputation for plushness. Rumors on the outside range from realistic to farfetched: The inmates get brought food from some of the best restaurants in Aspen; they can leave during the day and roam the streets if they wish; this is a jail made for the rich and famous. It’s true that this jail does not play into the typical perception of incarceration. Sunlight shines through the numerous windows. A beam that runs through the main room is painted pink for a soothing affect. Meals are not from five-star restaurants, but they do come from the Aspen Valley Hospital so they are balanced and nutritious. In between meals, a kitchenette is stocked with boxed cereal, ramen, drawers of butter, and shelves of milk that can be enjoyed anytime of day. Men and women co-mingle in the main area, known as the multipurpose room. Each inmate also has a day room that they share with one to three others and each day room has a television they’re allowed to watch any time during the day, as well as a shower they can use as often as they please. And, inmates can sleep at all hours of the day in their private cell if they so wish. It’s no wonder Pitkin County Jail is known, on a national level, as luxurious. But, that normalization, those privileges, lie at the heart of the jail’s success.

PHOTOS BY AUBREE DALLAS

“When put into an abnormal environment we are going to act abnormally,” Bird said. “We try to approximate a normal environment so inmates are more likely to act normal.” This approach is called Direct Supervision. When the jail opened in 1984, this was a relatively new concept for the jail system in the United States as it differed drastically from the classic models. Direct Supervision means deputies are often in the jail so they are accessible to inmates. They also create relationships with them and try to see where and how they need help. “We want to give them a leg up and do what we can to help them succeed,” Kendrick said. The theory behind this is that connecting inmates with society and helping them in any possible way while they’re in captivity will lead them to do a better job when they’re released and out in the real world, according to Kendrick. “Honestly, there’s nothing hard about this jail,”

NOTEWORTHY PRINCIPLES OF DIRECT SUPERVISION 1) Effective Control 2) Effective Supervision 3) Competent Staff 4) Safety of Staff and Inmates 5) Manageable and Cost Effective 6) Effective Communication 7) Classification and Orientation 8) Justice and Fairness 9) Ownership 10) Normalization (a Pitkin County Jail addition)

JUST THE FACTS: A BRIEF HISTORY OF ASPEN’S JAILS

1891 The dedication of the first official jail in Aspen. It was located in the basement of the Court House on Main Street (iron door, right). Before this time, people that were arrested were put in a small jail located on Hyman Avenue between Galena and Hunter streets. 1982 Ground breaks on construction for the new jail (above). 1983 A staff member named Bruce Benjamin comes up to Aspen from the Boulder County Jail to help implement Direct Supervision. Benjamin still works with the sheriff’s office in Pitkin County today as a juvenile investigator. 1984 Dedication of Pitkin County Jail. Eight inmates move from the basement of City Hall to the new building. At this time, juveniles were also prohibited from being housed in county jails. 1991 Don Bird becomes jail administrator. 1992 Pitkin County Jail becomes one of the first jails in Colorado to instate a non-smoking rule.

said a young inmate, who chooses to remain anonymous, as he prepares ramen in the kitchen. “This is how all jails should be.” The jail and the community provide numerous programs for the inmates to participate in such as yoga, arts and crafts, Bible study, as well as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Nonprofits bring in projects they need assistance with, such as envelope stuffing or potting plants. The deputies also frequent the Pitkin County Library to rent books for the inmates, giving them ways to stimulate their minds and bodies and distract them from the stress and monotony of jail time. “I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve had so many people supporting me,” said a female inmate, who chooses to remain anonymous. As proud of the jail staff is of their operation, Bird admits that there are still some issues with it. For example, the building was designed in a way that makes it difficult for women to have the same privileges as men. Women have to sit at certain tables in the multi-purpose room so the guards can see them from the booking office. To enter or leave the multi-purpose room they must ask permission, unlike the men who can roam in and out as they please. This is for their safety so the guards can know their location at all times. And the women have only one day room and two private cells designated to them. If more are booked, they must sleep in a bunk bed in the day room while all men have their own rooms. “Guys definitely get a lot more perks in here,” the female inmate said.

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

Apr il 2 4 - Apr il 30, 2014

Because of its size, the Pitkin County Jail has a fair amount of co-mingling among inmates. Although there are 26 beds, the average daily population is 16. Currently, there are 17 inmates that range in age from 18 to 66. They’ve committed, or been charged with, an eclectic mix of crimes from violation of bail and failure to comply, to domestic violence and conspiracy to commit murder. Because of the small sample and the typical short stays, it is hard to detect any patterns or consistencies in crime or age. However, the deputies do often find a correlation between the Aspen nightlife scene and high crime rate. “If the bars are full, we are full,” Kendrick said.

On weekends like X Games or holidays such as Halloween and New Year’s, the jail often doubles up on staff at night to handle the number of people being brought in by the police. Typically, these people are of the younger generation. “They’re almost always in their 20s or early 30s,” Geister said. “I’ve done so many night shifts that I’m comfortable with it now.” These intoxicated night-goers haven’t always committed a crime. Sometimes, they’re simply put in jail for their own protection. Even if they

spend the entire night pounding on the door and yelling at the deputies, they are typically an entirely different person by dawn. Saturday morning brings a grateful change in the woman placed in the isolation cell the night before. The volatile girl from last night has been replaced with a tired, yet calm and rational woman. The deputies give her cereal for breakfast and collect her fingerprints and information now that she is lucid enough to comply. After everything checks out, she is served a court summons for the crime she committed the night before and is given bus fare to get home. Before she leaves, Kendrick talks with her to offer information on substance abuse and mental illness. “We want to make sure she knows there are resources out there for her,” Kendrick says. However, Kendrick admits that most people

do not follow through with therapy. And once they are out of the jail it is out of the deputy’s authority to make them do so. “Their impression is that things are not going to get better,” she says. All that is in the deputy’s power is to make sure they are safe when they are in the building. And that is exactly what Kendrick and the rest of the Pitkin County Jail staff do. “This is the person she is, the one we see this morning,” Kendrick says of the newly sober inmate. “The person she was last night is the one we have to protect.”

VOYAGES

ESCAPE ARTIST | CURAÇAO

by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY

CURAÇAO,

A CARIBBEAN ISLAND FOR THE ADVENTUROUS CURACAO, pronounced kewre-sow, is everything one thinks of

when envisioning a Caribbean island – white sand beaches, great culture, food and even cocktails made with its eponymous orangeflavored liqueur. But this island is not overrun with high-rises and tourists. As far as islands go, it is fairly undeveloped, but ripe for growth as an active travel destination. Curaçao is an AMIEE WHITE autonomous state of The BEAZLEY Netherlands, a locally governed island, and the largest of the “ABC” islands – Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. Located about 40 miles off the coast of Venezuela, it once had the terrible distinction of being one of the first stop for slaves en route to the Americas, but its history as a port, also left behind a great mix of cultures and languages. In any given conversation you may hear Spanish, Dutch, English or Papiamentu, the island’s absolutely fascinating linguistic evolution, which is really like a verbal mix of Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French, English and Arawak Indian. Because of its dry climate, Curaçao grows little of its own food; in fact,

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

it relies on the outside world for almost everything. One of its biggest dependencies is on neighboring Venezuela, whose state-run oil and gas company PDVSA operates the Isla Oil Refinery on Curacao’s Schottegat Harbor. Shell abandoned the site in 1986, selling the operation and all of its existing contamination problems to the local government for $1. But for all the trouble and hardships it has experienced, Curaçao has something to offer no other Caribbean island has – prime opportunity for adventure travelers. The island is large in Caribbean terms, at 180 square miles has an impressive 1,227 feet of elevation at its highest point – Mt. Christoffel, making the island perfect for hiking and mountain biking. Mountain biking is one of the fastest growing sports on the island. Curaçao even hosted a sanctioned mountain biking World Cup Race on the island in 2006, and it won’t be its last. Imagine having the ability to ride in the early morning (365 days a year) on a great set of trails, followed by snorkeling or diving from a white sand beach. I spent an afternoon mountain biking with WannaGo Outdoors, an island outfitter, and the place to go for anything bike related (road riding is

also a huge sport in Curaçao among the European and American residents and visitors.) My guide, Hans Baltus, is a Dutch police officer on assignment from The Netherlands for five years, and also an accomplished racer on both road and trails. Hans introduced me to the singletrack of Jan Thiel Lagoon. The ride traverses though various terrain, from dense woods, to desert-like sand, along trails with sea views, through historic salt harvesting fields, and past lagoons filled with flocks of flamingos. It was one of the most varied and historic landmark-dotted rides I’d ever experienced. Along the rocky cliffs on the west side of the island, known as Westpunt, or Westpoint, there are more trails for hiking (think Cinque Terra) and biking, and with the potential for so many more. Most locals don’t know what they have on their hands in terms of mountain biking potential, but an American named Barry Brown does. He’s been cutting trails for 10 years and is the Pied Piper of mountain biking on Curacao — racing, teaching and helping to attract riders from around the world. As I looked to the hills in the northern section of the island, the terrain looked incredibly reminiscent

of the Rim Trail in Snowmass. Imagine standing at the base of the switchbacks, but when you turn around, instead of seeing Snowmass Ski Area, you are looking at crystal blue waters waiting for you swim, snorkel or dive. It’s a riders dream. But it’s going to take someone with vision and a little bit of money to make it a reality. Next week, I’ll explore a little more about what the island has to offer visitors, as well as what the future may hold. Stay tuned. There is much more to tell about Curaçao. If you want stories, advice or more info on the island, follow Amiee on Twitter @awbeazley1.

IF YOU GO... HOW TO GET THERE: I flew American Airlines from Grand Junction to Miami. From Miami, the flight to Curaçao is only 2.5 hours. The small airport at Curaçao is centrally located and easy to navigate with car service and taxis to take you directly to your hotel. TRAVEL SPECIALS: Right now Curaçao has an island-wide travel event called “Dare to Explore.” Sixteen of the island’s tour operators are providing hotel savings of up to 50 percent in way of flight credits and free nights. Promotions also run across island tours, attractions, car rentals and dive operators. These packages are being offered now through to June 1 and again from Sept. 15 to Nov. 15, 2014 — perfect timing for offseason travel.

RAW ENERGY, HEAVY BLUES REIGNWOLF PLANS TO GET LOUD AT THE BELLY UP

LOOK! UP IN THE SKY! It’s a birdflipping, jet-fueled Canadian bluesrocker soaring through the foggy lights — and even he doesn’t know exactly where he’ll land. “Sometimes I don’t realize how high up there I am,” says Jordan Cook, the wild-eyed, infectiously enthusiastic singer and guitarist for Reignwolf, a Canadian rock band rooted in the blues, but blown unceremoniously out of the fully maxed distortion channels into a maw of crunchy hooks and deliriously raw string twists. Cook has been known to climb atop his personal kick drum and huck himself as high and far as his roadweary legs will take him. “In Seattle I took a pretty nice spill,” says Cook, from aboard the Reignwolf van as it crossed the thawing Canadian tundra, headed to their next arena show in Edmonton, opening up for none other than Black Sabbath. “You don’t think about that, though. It’s in the moment. You just go for it,” laughs Cook, whose stage dives were so agro on the massively staged Sabbath tour that they set up a net to catch him at one recent stop. The word surreal comes up in conversation fairly often when speaking with Cook, and for good reason. In just two years, Cook has gone from the musical incubator of a long winter at home in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, to moving to one of the most music-friendly cities in the world, Seattle, Wash. There, Cook performed solo shows – just his whiskey-gravel voice, a guitar turned all the way up through a stack of distorted amps, and a kick drum/ launch pad — until he found his backline of drummer “Texas Joe” and bassist “Stitch” playing out as a twosome.

United in grit and gain, the trio has quickly ascended from humble rawk ‘n’ roll beginnings to the point that they have recorded their debut record (out “sometime in the next year”) at folk-rocker Ani DiFranco’s house and are opening up for their musical heroes in some of the biggest venues in the world…and not just opening up, but in reading some of the comments from the main act’s social pages, Reignwolf has been leaving grizzled jaws on the floor all across the Great White North with their energetic, edgy performances well before Ozzy has recalled the exact location of his leather pants. “When you look out at an arena crowd and see so many people… new people, new fans…freaking out to your music, it’s totally surreal,” enthuses Cook. The band has also supported the Pixies and Edward

Sharpe and the Magnificent Zeroes in recent months. Those shows were a distinctive turning point for Cook and his mates. “The Edward Sharpe shows stand out to me, because their fans are on the young side. I was looking out at these stunned kids and it was almost as if they’d never really seen a rock ‘n’ roll band before. They were like, ‘what the hell is going on here?”’ Reignwolf digs in deeply into their “J” influences, from Jimmy Page to Jimmy Hendrix to Jack White. Head down, eyes cemented shut, pouring sweat from his bangs, Cook wails on his axe more as an emotional tool than as an instrument. His lead flourishes are wild and unbashful. The backline fills in around his distorted, bluesy fragments like defibrillator jolts. The raw energy produced in one show is enough to light up half of Canada for a year.

Cook eschews the highly produced sounds of modern music and leans on the band’s sonic output and old-school feel as a path to attaining success. “It’s been a really long time since a band has been doing that heavy blues rock sound,” says Cook, speaking as he chased the bus that hauls the very originators of the genre. “We play loud and we leave it all out there on stage. When you are on, the energy really just takes over. When that happens, the crowd is IN the band. They are giving it to us and we’re giving it back that much more.”

IF YOU GO... REIGNWOLF with Crass Mammoth Belly Up Tuesday, April 29 8:30 p.m. $12

Jorda Cook flies high with Reignwolf, which comes to Belly Up on Tuesday, April 29.

BOOK REVIEW

‘WE DIE ALONE’ THERE IS NO SHORTAGE of heroes and heroic deeds remembered from World War II. But, as is common in such a long and encompassing war, countless tales of struggles of brave men and women have slipped through the cracks; many would be forgotten if it were not for books such as David Howarth’s “We Die Alone.” Written in 1955, it is the true account of the extraordinary survival of one expatriated Norwegian in the isolated, Nazi-occupied region of arctic Norway, after his commando team’s tragic failed mission to aid the Norwegian Resistance. In 1943, eight sailors and four soldiers set out on a nearly impossible journey with an even more difficult goal. Disguised as fisherman, the 12 Norwegians set sail from England during the dark days of Hitler’s occupation. They hoped to pass unseen and land in the remote northern reaches of Norway, with

the intention of outfitting and aiding the war effort from land. In gripping detail, Howarth paints vivid imagery of the wild and unforgiving landscape in which the men find themselves. Things go quickly awry, of course, and this true story’s real hero emerges after the men must destroy their booby-trapped fishing vessel when a German patrol happens upon them. All souls are lost, either captured or killed, save one. Jan Baalsrud finds himself on the run; he knows his best chance at survival is to take to the mountains and find his way to Sweden. With one bare foot, no food and otherwise ill equipped for an overland journey, Baalsrud knows he has no choice but to trust in the local population. But, in times of war, the first instinct is to protect one’s own, even if it means sacrificing someone else. Baalsrud discovers this bitter truth the hard way

and is betrayed. Nonetheless, there are countless others who come to his aid, risking their lives and the lives of their families. After the initial acts of faithlessness and furor, the rest of the book is a whirlwind survival adventure in the high arctic tundra. Baalsrud’s sheer will to persevere is astounding and nearly superhuman. Countless times, just when the reader is sure he is dead, Baalsrud is assisted by a team of compassionate saviors, and his unimaginable journey toward the safety of neutral Sweden inches forward, through deep snow, avalanches and one unfortunate circumstance after another. Truly an extraordinary reading experience, “We Die Alone” will stay with you long after the last pages of the book are turned.

Jarvis is a gorgeous brindle Mastiff/Staffie mix. This boy is really sweet and loving - a true breed ambasaador! He is an athletic boy yet takes treats gently and just smiles, adores getting attention and love. He was surrendered by his previous owners to a shelter because ‘their other dog died of cancer and Jarvis just became so depressed that they “couldn’t stand it”…SO..they took him to a kill shelter! The shelter staff absolutely loved him and said he integrated into all the different doggie play groups beautifully and was submissive to cats. His foster mom says he is a great boy, housetrained and a wiggle butt. He is living with a toy poodle. He is stunning with a gorgeous Blue and Gold brindle coat. He is current on vaccinations, neutered and microchipped.
