Bullwinkle

THE

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

It’s our natural gas, why not keep it at home?

Sweet Bullwinkle is a 3 yr old purebred German Shepherd. His current owners are working so much, they feel they can’t give him the life he deserves so asked us to help him find a new family/person to love him. She said “He is a well behaved boy and deserves so much better than we can give him”. Bull is good with people and other dogs of all sizes. Bull is a smart boy and although he hasn’t had formal training he does know the commands sit, down, stay and heel. He is not destructive when left alone and is house trained. What Bull really loves is to run and play especially fetch! He also loves going for walks and is good on a leash. He is a calm boy inside. Bull’s ears don’t stand up because his ‘brother’ Rocky, yanked them too much when they were puppies. But it only adds to his adorable looks! He is an awesome dog and whoever ends up making him part of their family is going to be extra lucky! Bull is already neutered, current on his vaccinations and microchipped.

He does need eye drops put in every day for the rest of his life. If you are interested in this hunk please first fill out an application at www.luckydayrescue.org or call Sarah at 970-618-4108.

OK, SO I’M NOT AN EXPERT on U.S. energy policy. I will admit that up front.

But I’m puzzled about all the talk these days concerning the creation of a new industry — exporting natural gas — allowing facilities built not that long ago for importing natural gas to be retrofitted and “repurposed” (jeez, I loathe technobabble) to handle the exports.

There are several reasons for my puzzlement, which actually is too mild a description of what I’m feeling. For the sake of being polite in our political discourse, but still honest, let’s just call it extreme apprehension, or EA for short.

As things stand today, it seems our country, through energy conservation and the massive natural-gas drilling boom underway in many regions of the country (including Colorado), is weaning itself from the foreign-petroleum tit.

But now the industry wants to sell its surplus gas on the international market.

Why? To make money, shrink the U.S. trade deficit, that sort of thing, of course, regardless of any concern for our domestic energy needs.

This seems contradictory to all the noise the industry has made for years about natural gas being the savior of the nation, providing jobs and relatively cheap energy that is relatively cleaner than its counterparts, coal and oil.

Now, we all know there is a massive surplus of natural gas resources in parts of this country, as evidenced by the industry’s rush to gather up leases and claims and then letting the resources lie fallow when prices plummet, as they did over the last few years.

Once prices rise again, of course, the industry stands ready to get back to the business of drilling and pumping all that gas out of the ground and into pipelines.

Selling to foreign customers, it appears to me, would take advantage of the still higher prices those foreign customers might pay. This idea would clearly be good for the industry’s bottom line, which is not a bad thing in and of itself, given the nature of our economy.

But it leaves a lot of questions unanswered, not the least being: Mightn’t be better for our energy situation, here in the U.S., to leave all surplus gas in the ground for future needs?

Then again, what about those who live in the areas, including Colorado, where there remain serious questions about the

human health impacts of the gas drilling industry?

The energy industry has made it a practice to belittle and reject such concerns as the spoutings of anti-business environmentalists and others.

But more and more information is coming to light these days about just how serious and realistic those concerns might be. The plain fact of the matter is that we simply are not sure, as a nation, about the health hazards of living near the drilling rigs. And while at one time the rigs were located in remote areas far from human habitation, they now are in peoples’ backyards.

A Texas jury thought the concerns credible enough to award nearly $3 million to a Decatur, Texas, family, by the name of Parr, whose 40-acre spread was surrounded by close to 20 gas wells.

The industry, predictably, has responded with derision concerning the merits of the Parr case, and is likely to appeal to a higher court and perhaps get the award overturned.

But given our lack of knowledge, I’m thinking it would be prudent to embark on exhaustive, nationally oriented studies to determine exactly what the hazards are, before giving the green light to exports.

A big export push, in my view, is likely to intensify the drilling frenzy here at home, possibly as the expense of our own citizens’ health.

Sure, existing LNG importing facilities would be left standing idle, but so what?

Maybe they can be cleaned up and turned into parks for children and families, rather than being even further industrialized and quite possibly posing increasing threats to the health and safety of those living nearby.

Otherwise, it seems to me, allowing the industry to shift its focus to exports might ultimately be bad for this country’s energy needs, by shipping resources overseas that might be needed here.

It also would be tantamount to openly declaring that some parts of this country should be recognized as possible sacrifice zones in the pursuit of corporate profits, and that those living there should just accept it.

Seems short-sighted and antiAmerican, to me.

To paraphrase one of my personal heroes, the late, great Mike Royko, I may be wrong about all this, but I doubt it.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

1923 ASPEN

ALTHOUGH ASPEN is still fairly isolated, today it is easy to take for granted the relative ease with which we come and go. The journey between Aspen and Denver is no longer the ordeal it once was, as evidenced by an article in the Aspen Democrat-Times on July 23, 1923, with a headline proclaiming “Denver to Aspen in Fifteen Hours.” According to the paper, “Al Peterson and son drove from Denver yesterday, making the trip in exactly fifteen hours. The Petersons left Denver at 4:30 yesterday morning. They came by way of Idaho Springs, Frazier, Hot Sulphur Springs, Kremmling, over the State Bridge to Wolcott, thence down the Grand Canyon to Glenwood Springs, up the valley of the Roaring Fork, arriving in Aspen at 7:30 last evening. It was sure some trip and they rolled right along. When the Independence Pass is open for automobile travel, the drive from Aspen to Denver can be made in eight or ten hours. Won’t that be fine?”

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

CYCLING SEASON: PANTS TO BIKE IN FUNCTION, FASHION, durability, comfort and fit — the growing genre of “pants you can ride a bike in” has high demands. But multiple manufacturers are up to the challenge, designing trousers that stretch, pad and reflect when you’re on two wheels, all while looking good at a coffee shop or the office. I tried multiple pairs of these cross-functional trousers this year. Here’s my final word on four brands.

CHROME INDUSTRIES FOLSOM PANT: Built out of a high-end synthetic fabric made by Swiss materials brand Schoeller, the Folsom cycling pants have a slight stretch as well as a waterand stain-resistant outer. Matte black and fairly plain, they look like sharp, casual office-wear.

But the pants have bikespecific touches like a stealth webbing U-lock holster on the belt area. There’s a reflective rear patch for a hit of night visibility and, for durability against bikeseat wear, a double layer of fabric in the crotch. $160, www.chromeindustries.com

ARC’TERYX A2B COMMUTER PANT: Known for its alpine products, this British Columbia brand jumps into the bike-commuting world with a modern pant design. I got loads of positive comments about the A2Bs, which are made of a thin cotton/polyester blend and have an urban “cargo pants” aesthetic with their exposed stitching and a zippered thigh pocket. But on the bike some of the features seemed over-engineered, including extra snaps on the ankle cuffs and reflective rear pocket flaps. $139, www.arcteryx.com

MAKERS & RIDERS WEATHERPROOF JEAN: Billed as “the most advanced weatherproof pant yet,” these high-price trousers are made of a material usually reserved for alpine-oriented shell jackets.

For $189 you get dressy pants that proved waterproof in my test thanks to their Polartec NeoShell fabric. Other than the resistance to rain and a durable build they are pretty normal pants, which is to say acceptable across any social situation. Caveat: While the special fabric is breathable, it is thick and too hot for serious summer rides. www.makersandriders.com

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

LEVI’S COMMUTER 511: They look like regular denim jeans.

But Levi’s added a water-resistant and dirt-repellent finish to the fabric as well as reflective tape on the interior cuffs. Roll up an ankle to expose the light-affected fabric strips, which help keep you visible to cars at night. I like the fit and appearance of these jeans because they don’t exude any cycling vibe. But on the bike they are also not that different from just pedaling in regular Levi’s jeans. $88, www.levi.com Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

FROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

WINEINK

by KELLY J. HAYES

WHEN IN ROME ... OR PARIS ... OR ...

IT IS A CHARMED LIFE, that which is led by Aspen author, skier and wine-lover Catherine O’Connell.

I met her on the last ski weekend of the year as she was picking up her 55th day on the slopes.

This from a woman who told me that she had spent the months of March and April abroad, living first in a Roman apartment and KELLY J. HAYES then in Paris for the launch of spring.

Ah, the life of O’Connell.

As is frequently the case during my chairlift conversations, the talk turned to wine and Cathy had some interesting things to say about her wine experiences of the last couple of months. As one who has spent time working in bars in Chicago and selling wine for Kobrand, she had a wealth of experience to draw from.

“In Italy, there is always a bottle on the table,” she said emphatically, as though that were a requirement for any meal. “But the Italians sip their wines, like it’s a garnishment, just something that goes with the dish. You might see eight people at a table and then just one bottle. A little wine in each glass. It’s not like any one is trying to get drunk.”

It is just a part of the dining experience.

I thought back to Richard Betts, the former sommelier at The Little Nell and now a noted author and wine educator, who likes to say, “Wine is a grocery,” meaning that it is something to make a part of each meal as a course in itself.

It got me to thinking about how in Europe, the “Old World,” wine and food go together naturally, organically, without too much thought. Here in the “New World,” we put so much work and emphasis on having just the right wine, just the right vintage, just the right pairing that perhaps, sometimes, we miss the point. We tend to

A GOOD READ CATHERINE O’CONNELL When she skis she goes by Cathy, but as a writer it is Catherine on the byline.

With three published mysteries under her belt, the latest being “Well Read and Dead,” (of which the late great Frank McCourt spoke highly) Catherine also pens the blog 365aspen. In it she dishes on her days here in Aspen.

10

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

F

over think it, to over work it. Wine enhances a meal. But if it becomes a focal point then maybe we have our priorities out of sequence.

That is not to say that pairings don’t matter, or that we can’t spend the time and money to buy a great wine that we feel is a perfect accompaniment to a great meal.

It’s just that in places like Rome and Paris, simply having a bottle or a carafe of the local wine, say a chianti, or even a young beaujolais, on the table can be as satisfying as the experience of buying, decanting and contemplating an expensive Barolo or Bordeaux.

OK, maybe not. The big bottles and the classic wines have a place.

But you needn’t make a wine event every time you sit down to a meal. Like everything else in life, moderation and simplicity can make the wine experience richer, more enjoyable.

“Living in the Testaccio area of Rome, a very local neighborhood, it’s hard not to cook at home when faced with the beautiful food and wine choices,” Cathy said, as she told me about her day-to-day experiences in Italy. “I go to the

local markets and just pick out what looks good that day. Everything is so fresh and there are so many choices. Fish for example … you can pick out an orata (sea bass) and they will have farm-raised, netcaught or line-caught. And they are so fresh, and so beautiful, with the tails and the heads still on. You can look in their eyes.”

“One of my favorite dishes is the fresh line-caught orata grilled on the stove top in a grill pan, white beans with sage, thyme, and lots of olive oil, and broccolini,” Cathy said, with a look that told me she was, in her mind, back in her kitchen in Testaccio. “I’ll serve it with a rich and luscious Jermann Pinot Bianco 2012, which will cost just 12 Euros.”

She knew she had me. “Or maybe I’ll have some fresh, handmade rucola and tellegio raviolis from Volpetti’s, the best specialty foods store going — and it was just down the block — with a rich tomato sauce and grilled marinated vegetables on the side. I’ll wash it down with a 2007 Riserva Travaglini Gattinara that I can get for around 28 Euros. I never miss an opportunity for Nebbiolo when

UNDER THE INFLUENCE BADIA A COLTIBUONO CHIANTI CLASSICO “RS” 2011 So Cathy wanted to make the point that one of the joys of Italy is great wine can be had for just a few Euros. Unfortunately. I didn’t have the option of going to Italy for my wine so I may have paid a bit more, $18, if I remember correctly, for this wonderful Sangiovese. I considered it a steal as I sipped it with some cheese and salami from Molinari in San Francisco’s North Beach.

Ma y 8 - Ma y 14, 2014

it’s not going to break the bank.”

Getting hungry?

And then there was Paris.

Cathy stays in the 12th, the Arrondissement de Reuilly, home to the Opéra de la Bastille, and does her shopping at the local Marche d’Aligre. Off the beaten tourist path, the Marche d’Aligre is a local’s gem.

“I might do some sweet fresh shrimp cooked in the shell with a little mustard, mayonnaise and fresh Brittany oysters from the market. They’re perfect with a crisp Muscadet Sevre et Maine, 2013 that will cost about eight Euros. Or any champagne. Even the cheapest are good, because they are, after all, champagne. I buy them in the grocery store.”

On a cold day she might roast a chicken. “I’ll get some potatoes from the market, sauté some fennel with some green peas folded in and I get a warm, freshly baked (even in the evening), baguette from the local boulangerie that I’ll spread with some rich French butter.”

At this point I began to drool.

“A juicy 2012 Coteaux du Languedoc Pic St. Loup (14 Euros) from the Languedoc region is the perfect foil.”

With that, I thanked Cathy for this column, bid her adieu and watched as she headed over to Ruthie’s for a season-ending run.

Paris. Rome. Ruthie’s. Yes, Cathy does live a charmed life.

VOYAGES

ESCAPE ARTIST | UGANDA

by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY

WHEN THE WORLD COMES TO YOU WHY DO WE TRAVEL? For me, it’s about the process of discovery.

It’s about meeting new people, learning about different cultures, and bringing home and relaying experiences that not only connect to my readers, but helps me to understand the vastness and diversity of the world. Whether it’s down the road in the Roaring Fork Valley, or halfway across the AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY world, curiosity of the human condition compels me to see and experience the world by traveling.

A week ago, the world came knocking at my door, when Elijah Sebuchu, a pastor and president of two Ugandan orphanages, came to the valley to share his message about children in desperate need of shelter, health care and education in Africa.

Since 2004, Sebuchu has been working to help transform a desperate nation, its people reeling

from abject poverty, human trafficking and HIV/AIDS. Those most affected are the 17 million Ugandan children under the age of 15. They account for 50 percent of the population, the youngest population in the world. If you can, imagine the streets filled with children going “from nowhere to nowhere,” as Sebuchu describes it.

After months of contemplation and $10 in his pocket, Sebuchu and his wife Ruth constructed a few mud huts near Kampala, and within two weeks, 188 children emerged from the bush looking for help. Today, his Hands of Love organization takes care of more than 1,400 children, most orphaned by AIDS, which still ravages the country.

Sebuchu was in the valley spreading the word that we can save a life — a human being — by making small sacrifices. Our family became “parents” to a 12-year-old boy, Sayifi, in August. His mother had died of AIDS, his father was in his final months also dying of the disease. He had nowhere to

go and would become a victim of the streets, searching for water, food, shelter and safety. Today, nine months later, he is the only remaining member of his family.

When Sayifi’s father died, his sister, fearing the worst for her younger siblings, poisoned three of them in a mercy killing, before she and two of his eldest siblings committed suicide to avoid a lifetime of scouring for food, and the constant threat rape or abduction. Sayifi only survived because he was taken in, fed, protected and educated at Hands of Love.

I consider myself a fairly educated, aware person, and not one to shy away from difficult stories. But the real-life stories of these Ugandan children I have heard in this last week are so difficult to comprehend, you almost question the plausibility.

How in a world where we have so much can such suffering and lack of compassion still exist?

I have never been to Uganda, but Uganda has come to me.

I love a luxury beach trip just as

much as the next travel writer, trust me. But sometimes travel is about so much more than feeding your own wants, it’s also about being uncomfortable in the face of reality.

Travel sometimes should impact you as a person so much that it changes you forever. It won’t be an easy trip when I finally do make it to the country on the equator, and I can’t say I’m not a little frightened of what I might experience there.

But when there is someone on the other side of the world who calls you “Mommy,” who has no one in the world but you, how can you not be compelled to go?

Seeing the world for what it is — unpolished, unfair and uninhibited — is the real story Uganda has to offer. And travel is the best education; all you need is the curiosity to go out discover it.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

BEAUTY IN THE BREAKDOWN WHY AREN’T YOU COMPOSTING YET?

LAST TUESDAY, I took out the trash. This time, though, I noticed that the plastic ties didn’t strain under the weight of an overstuffed garbage bag. In fact, the bag was only about half full.

And it didn’t reek of rotting food.

This wasn’t because I had been out of town.

Or because I ate every meal out. Or because I was on a hunger strike or detox regimen. I did AMANDA none of those things.

RAE Nope. I just started composting.

Around Earth Day — April 23 — I picked up a free composting bucket from City Hall. “The average person produces four and a half pounds of waste per day, probably lower in Aspen,” says Liz O’Connell, the city of Aspen’s waste reduction and environmental health specialist.

“Of that, about 50 percent is compostable.”

With a little care, this organic matter — produce scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells, tea bags; foodsoiled paper products like napkins and grease-stained pizza boxes; and grasses, leaves, and flowers — will break down into nutrient-rich fertilizer prized by landscapers and gardeners.

To encourage folks to separate their compostable waste from materials that will not decompose naturally over time (Styrofoam, foil, rubber, plastic wrap, pet waste), Aspen’s Environmental Health and Sustainability Office has partnered with the Pitkin County Solid Waste Center (the landfill off Highway 82, mile marker 32) to offer residents free compost collection buckets.

O’Connell makes a strong argument for why we should care about reducing the trash we send to our landfill. In the long run, it’s cheaper to use a curbside composting service — about $4.50 per month from three independent contactors; free if you drop it yourself — than traditional garbage collection. Composting is environmentally responsible, not only because space on Earth is limited, but because landfills create toxic methane gas, a greenhouse

emission an estimated 21 times more potent than CO2. Certain states and cities — Connecticut, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York City, Portland, San Francisco — have banned food waste from commercial generators from going to landfills at all. In Aspen, compost travels only about eight miles, round-trip. Contrast that with recycling, which journeys an average 7,000 miles and is without tangible local benefits.

Once dumped at the facility, compost is heated to 160-180 degrees. After 60 to 90 days, samples are sent to a lab for FDA inspection. The landfill then sells the finished compost back to the community, for about $12 per cubic yard. Last year, the nonprofit Independence Pass Foundation used tons of compost soil in a major reseeding project.

Sure, extra effort is involved in composting, but I found it easy to get into the groove. I stash the six-gallon composting bucket next to garbage and recycling bins in my kitchen, and I collect food scraps in a small bowl on my countertop when I make meals.

(This takes 20 extra seconds, tops, to rinse the bowl after transferring scraps.) The bucket lid seals tight with zero smell, and may be lined compostable bags made of cornstarch for mess-free disposal.

(Bags are available at City Market and Clark’s Market; about $7 for a box of 25.)

“We’ve had a steady stream of residents take advantage of this offer,” O’Connell says. “A very small percentage of people who compost do it because they want to garden.

Most do it for the environmental impact.”

After screening the Jeremy Irons-produced documentary “Trashed” at the Wheeler Opera House in March, O’Connell fielded calls from numerous chefs and restaurant managers interested in composting. (An estimated 60 to 70 percent of restaurant waste is compostable.) The most successful so far have been hotels, such as the Limelight, Sky and Aspen Meadows; smaller venues like Ryno’s and the Red Onion hope

to join, but struggle with space limitations in shared alleyways.

O’Connell calls Aspen Skiing Co. “a model of how successful composting can be at the commercial level.” 2013/14 marks the fourth season of composting at Bumps Restaurant, and the second season at the Cliffhouse, both at Buttermilk Mountain.

“Bumps was the first cafeteria restaurant in the valley to bring composting into the dining room,” says Henrietta Oliver, general manager of Skico onmountain dining. In Snowmass, Two Creeks Café composts and Elk Camp begins this summer.

Oliver anticipates that all Skico restaurants will use special composting dumpsters within two years.

“It started in the kitchen,” Oliver says. “What was amazing was when we moved (composting) into the dining room at Bumps, it tripled.

When you move to compostable straws and lids, the amount of compost is enormous.” She pauses.

“It’s about 25 to 20 percent more expensive than purchasing noncompostable products, but as a company we pride ourselves on being environmental stewards. It’s about walking the talk.”

Meanwhile, Jill Radel is urging her neighbors in a Brush Creek multi-family residential complex to get with the program.

“I started composting because I am a wannabe, try-to-be gardener,” says Radel, who contacted the housing board and sent letters to homeowners to drum up

interest. Now, the Brush Creek Homeowners Association has 96-gallon containers in each of its dumpsters to collect household compostable material. (22-gallon bear-proof containers are also available for residents.)

“The benefits are numerous,” Radel says. “We keep our compostable waste in the valley, it is not being hauled to Denver or further. We are trying to reduce our carbon footprint every way we can. Eventually we hope to have the entire subdivision composting.

That would be a great success story.”

On my inaugural run to the landfill to dump my first bucket of compost, I stumbled upon a composting seminar led by Pitkin County Solid Waste Center manager Cathy Hall. About a dozen people were there, asking questions.

“We’re seeing a lot more people (compost),” Hall says. “In Pitkin County, we keep 60 percent of materials that could go in the landfill out. The landfill is slowly changing.”

This is good news to O’Connell.

“When the landfill closes, our trash rates will most likely double, if not triple!” she says, estimating that Pitkin County has 25 years left at our current rate. “Let’s not dump problems on the next generation.

Composting is a testament to the value our community places on health.”

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

MAKE IT 1 ½ ounces Sobieski Raspberry Vodka ½ ounce Laurent-Perrier Brut Champagne ½ ounce simple syrup ¼ ounce lime juice Combine all ingredients in a flute and top with mint and raspberry.

SOPRANO’S SONG It’s Mother’s Day. I’m a mother. So when an email popped into my inbox telling me that “TV mom’s show their spirit with Mother’s Day cocktails,” I couldn’t help but give it a good read. And then a good laugh — from Carol Brady Punch to the Griffin MOMosa to a Roseanne’s Rosé, these drinks are a hoot. But the one most likely to fill my glass this Sunday is the Soprano’s Song, named for a favorite character of mine, Carmela Soprano from “The Sopranos.” Made with Champagne and raspberry vodka, this pink girly drink sounds perfect for sipping with Mother’s Day brunch (hint, hint, hubby and kiddos!). And as the email said, “behind every Goodfella is a good bella!”

GUNILLA ASHER DIDN’T MAKE IT TO THE BARS THIS WEEKEND, BUT SHE’LL SHARE ANOTHER FAVORITE DRINK WITH US SOON. IN THE MEANTIME, EMAIL JMCGOVERN@ASPENTIMES.COM WITH WHAT COCKTAILS YOU’RE MIXING, WHAT LIBATIONS YOU’RE DRINKING, WHAT TASTES HAVE TEMPTED YOUR TASTEBUDS AND WE’LL SHARE THEM WITH OUR READERS.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

The photos featured on #NakedGondy range from modest to somewhat disturbing. You be the judge.

#NAKEDGONDY

BIRTHDAY SUIT DEBAUCHERY NOT MANY EXPERIENCES feel quite as innervating as shedding off all your layers and grazing in the sun, completely butt naked. In fact, perhaps the only feeling that can truly transcend that one is stripping down to your birthday suit and taking a ride on the Silver Queen Gondola.

And while you’re on there … why not take a photo or two to post BARBARA on Instagram?

PLATTS #NakedGondy — that’s what us kids are calling it these days. And from what I can tell, everyone may need to get used to it.

This nude phenomenon started on a particularly windy day in February when Aspenite Brad Unglert was stuck on the Silver Queen Gondola for about 30 minutes.

Unglert decided to take off all of his clothes and Snapchat body shots to his friends as a joke.

He started to get high off of the rush, both from the excitement of being in the buff in a new place and from his friends’ dumbfounded reactions.

IN THE VERY PUBLIC WORLD OF SOCIAL MEDIA, I COULDN’T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE WERE WILLING TO GO BALLS OUT JUST TO ACQUIRE A FUNNY PICTURE. WILL #NAKEDGONDY PHOTOS BE UNCOVERED IN FUTURE POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS? WILL EMPLOYERS JUDGE A HIRE BASED ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY JUMPED ON THE NUDIST BANDWAGON? “I was so excited about the shot,” Unglert said via Instagram. “I couldn’t wait to post it!”

Unglert encouraged his friends to jump on the #NakedGondy bandwagon and soon Instagram was blowing up with naked gondola photos.

“We’re really stoked that it’s caught on so well,” Unglert said.

Right now, #NakedGondy is only occurring on the Silver Queen Gondola in Aspen. Colton Hinchliffe, promoter and co-starter of #NakedGondy, believes we can change that, however.

“We’re hoping this will catch on in other ski resorts,” Hinchliffe said.

Currently, there are 58 posts on Instagram under the hashtag

#NakedGondy. The photos range from modest to somewhat disturbing. One involves a banana costume, another an overwhelmingly large, fake bush, and one even contains some light crotch-grabbing.

When I first saw a photo of my friend entirely naked on Instagram the other day, I was shocked. Clicking on the hashtag only disconcerted me more. In the very public world of social media, I couldn’t understand why people were willing to go balls out just to acquire a funny picture. Will #NakedGondy photos be uncovered in future political campaigns? Will employers judge a hire based on whether or not they

jumped on the nudist bandwagon?

Aspenite and #NakedGondy participant Jimmy Dula thinks it won’t matter nearly as much in 20 years.

“Many probably think this is akin to civil disobedience,” Dula said.

“But we are a different generation that plays by a different set of rules.”

Would generations before us have created a trend like this?

Would they have shed off all of their layers, put their ski boots back on, and smiled for the camera?

Maybe not. But if this is the route our generation is choosing, the next one will surely have trouble topping it.

With winter in Aspen now over, the gondolas have officially stopped running and offseason is in full swing. The #NakedGondy hashtag may be quiet for now, but I’m certain it will rear its naked head again soon. #ToBeContinued Barbara Platts, a local marketing professional, writes about the “mountain millennial culture” that she participates in every day.

DRIVE FARTHER, GO FURTHER

by KELLY J. HAYES

Utah. Wrapped around a tiny strip of asphalt about a mile long, Escalante is what Moab never was but perhaps always wanted to be — small, laidback, and devoted 100 percent to the land that surrounds it, Escalante is the gateway to the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, as well as to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks.

For many, it is a stopover town, a place to bed down, have a meal and get supplies before heading out into some of the most scenic and enchanting backcountry terrain to be found anywhere on earth. But if you have the time to disconnect from the artificial world for a while and reconnect with the real world, it is a place where the thrill of discovery can be an every-hour occurrence.

You’ll find a handful of restaurants, a few motels, a top-notch visitor center and not much else to distract you from the outdoors. But Escalante is also home to some of the friendliest ambassadors to the treasures of the desert outback that you can imagine. And there are a just enough “don’t miss ’em” places to make the area totally enchanting.

“I GOT VISION AND THE REST OF THE WORLD WEARS BIFOCALS.” That line, delivered by Paul Newman to Robert Redford in the classic “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” always makes me smile. But as I watched the film from the front seat of a ’64 Caddy convertible parked under the Drive-In movie screen at the Shooting Star RV Resort just outside of Escalante, Utah, my grin busted even bigger than usual.

Sitting beneath the stars, surrounded by the epic rock formations of the Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument and watching a movie from the 1960s, in a car made in the same decade, put me in another place and time.

For Aspenites, spring is a time of exodus.

Once the lifts shutter, we load the bikes for the ceremonial trip to Moab where all we hope to find is an empty campsite with outstanding views. But this spring I went a little further — which is to say about three hours farther — and the extra effort made all the difference.

My destination was Escalante in central

ROAD TRIP! Getting to Escalante is no easy task, but it is a beautiful drive. Take Hwy. 82 to I-70 West, just like you are going to Moab. Just past Green River, take Hwy. 24 south to Hanksville, where you’ll be welcomed by the Hoo Doos of Goblin Valley. A right on Utah Hwy. 12, one of the great roads on the continent, takes you through Capital Reef National Park, over the 9,000foot Boulder Pass and then down a roller coaster into Boulder and, then, 45 minutes later, Escalante. It is indeed FARTHER and FURTHER. Aspen-Escalante: 395 miles, 7 hours

COURTESY PHOTOS

THE DRIVE-IN MOVIE Just a mile outside of Escalante sits one of the coolest and quirkiest places to spend a night anywhere in the American West. The Shooting Star RV Resort is home to eight Airstream trailers that pay homage to the stars of Hollywood past while offering visitors supercomfortable places to bed down.

Spread out over 17 glorious, rocky and undulating acres, the resort’s custom Airstream trailers can be rented from $119 to $139 per night. These are not shady relics from the past, but rather perfectly reconditioned make-up

trailers, each named for a Hollywood star and “styled” in their memory.

You can stay in Ann’s Cabana and feel like Ann Margaret when she was filming “Viva Las Vegas” with Elvis. Is John Wayne your matinee idol? Then book “The Duke,” a 31-foot Airstream with a bedroom, a hand-tooled leather sofa that folds out with a full-sized bed, a kitchen and a (fairly) roomy shower and bath. My favorite was “The Kid’s Hideout,” named in honor of Sundance, of course, which featured a pair of cowboy boots and a copy of William Goldman’s script for the film, including the “bifocals” line.

These are all tricked-out trailers with flat-screen TVs, kitchens, showers, towels and soft comfortable beds surrounded by the signature wrapping of the curved Airstream windows. And the views are outstanding. Each trailer has a wooden deck and a gas grill. This is “glamping” to the max.

And if your star’s Airstream puts you in the mood for a movie, you can stroll over to the drive-in each night, just after the desert sunset, to catch a flick. Owners Troy Wittusen and Michelle Levandoski, who took over operation of the four-year-old resort this spring, have more than 100 selections for your viewing pleasure ranging from classics to action adventure.

This is the real thing, just like when you were kids back in the ’60s — a big drive-in screen, the sound playing through your car radio, hot popcorn and a soda. “My favorite time at the resort,” said Troy, “is when we first fire up the movie at night. We get the Snack Shack (also an Airstream) going, you can smell the popcorn and everyone gets excited.”

If you want to take the experience to the extreme you can rent one of the resort’s classic cars and sit inside it for the movie. A ’65 Dodge remind you of your youth? Maybe a ’62 Buick Skylark? If your kids have never had the opportunity to take in a drive-in, this is your chance to show them something “new.”

The Shooting Star RV Resort also has 32 hookup spots for RVs and a number of campsites. It is a perfect place to base for a week in the center of this incomparably beautiful country.

THE DESTINATION RESTAURANT Boulder, Utah, just up the hill from Escalante, has fewer than 200 residents. It is more than five hours from the closest major airport and the main road, Hwy. 12, crosses a 9,000-foot pass that is closed for much of the year due to snow. Yet, amazingly, it is home to one of the nation’s great destination restaurants.

For 15 years, owners Jen Castle and Blake Spalding have operated the quintessential farm-to-table restaurant, Hell’s BackBone Grill. This remote jewel has been featured six times in The New York Times, named as Utah’s restaurant of the year by the Salt Lake City Weekly and picked by the Wall Street Journal as a go-to.

Jen and Blake were chefs on Colorado River expeditions. A shared love of food and the desire to be change-makers in how we look at our food led them to this remote outpost. Combining passion, sweat and Buddhist principles, they labored to create not just the restaurant, but a 6-acre “noharm, organic farm” that produces more than 12,000 pounds of produce each year.

Open seven days a week and serving three squares a day from the organic produce, eggs from their henhouse, and grass-fed beef, the cuisine is as tasty as it is healthy. A “Dinner Jenchilada” with “farmy pumpkin-piñon” rolled into blue corn tortillas and baked in a spicy-sweet corn habanero cream sauce beckons, as does the “Spicy Cowgal Chipotle Meat Loaf.”

The Hell’s BackBone Grill sits on the grounds of the Boulder Mountain Inn, so if you plan to go you can book a room for the night or you can make a reservation for a meal and commute from your campsite. A special treat is the annual Thanksgiving dinner. A perennial sell-out, the $100-a-plate dinner offers not just an exceptional meal, but the true spirit of what being thankful for the bounty of the land is all about.

THE OUTFITTER With close to 2 million acres of terrain, the Grand StaircaseEscalante Monument is vast. In other words, you are going to need a guide to help you find your way to the best spots.

Fortunately, in the center of town is Escalante Outfitters, the go-to place for, well, everything. With a café, campground and cabins, they have the “Cs” covered. But is their knowledge of the area that is their most valuable commodity.

Family owned and operated by the Waggoners (Pére et fils), Escalante Outfitters can provide guided fishing expeditions into both the Staircase and the Dixie National Forest that sits right outside their back door. The lakes of the Aquarius Plateau yield cutthroats, tiger trout and giant brook trout, as well as amazing views of the desert below.

They also offer natural tours into the surrounding terrain that highlight both the historic outposts of the Anasazi, the incredible geology of the region and the scenic spots that are off the beaten path.

You can both begin and end your day at their Esca-latte Internet Café and Pizza Parlor. Down some fair-trade coffee and sweet, homemade cinnamon rolls in the morning as you check your emails, then swing by in the evening — tired, hungry and a little sunburnt — for exceptional pizzas and salads with a Wasatch brew on draft

for dinner. There is also a library-worthy collection of books on the region, as well as the best in backpacks, Patagonia clothing and anything else you might need in the backcountry.

Escalante Outfitters also has campsites and rustic cabins for overnight stays. It is the perfect get-it-all stop in the desert.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

ASPEN TEACHERS CELEBRATE HIGH-ALTITUDE EDUCATION IN ESSAY CONTEST EDITOR’S NOTE: For the second year, Aspen Middle School sponsored an essay contest to honor Aspen’s long history of educating its youth. Below is the contest invitation and the winning essays.

ON SEPTEMBER 19, 1881, Aspen’s first school session began for our town’s children. Class was held in Judge Root’s log cabin on Main Street - across from the Catholic Church (Aspen: History of a Mining town 1879-1893 by Rohrbough).

That was 133 years ago.

To celebrate Aspen and its history of high altitude education, the 7th and 8th grade classes are holding the 2nd Annual Writing Contest – Aspen 133 - for district employees and parents/guardians of children currently enrolled in the Aspen School District.

In honor of each year that Aspen has been educating our children, we invite you to submit an original story of exactly 133 words. All entries must be anonymous.

Papers will be judged by an incredibly talented group of 7th and 8th grade students. The top essays will be published in the Aspen Times.

The 7th and 8th Grade Language Arts and Reading Teams, Dana Berro, Chris Keleher, Adam Flatt and Hallie Harrison, invite you to show the students what you can wield with your pen.

FIRST PLACE “Gensis 2 — Have We Learned Our Lesson Yet”

by ALAN BUSH

Our world was dying!

It was our own fault. For decades, scientists had warned us that greenhouse gases would melt our glaciers, turning our planet into a burned up barren rock with a choking, poisonous atmosphere hot enough to melt lead, raining sulfuric acid.

We ignored them. Our leaders bickered like young children, each trying to smear and blame the other. Their inability to work together and our unstoppable growth brought us annihilation.

Our space program was a few decades old. We could only send two to the new world, the third planet out from our star. We hoped life would evolve there and see how our planet had been destroyed and learn from our mistakes. That was why we sent Atam and Ev to Urth from our world, that we called Venus.

SECOND PLACE “The Forgotten”

THIRD PLACE “The Ace”

Dear World, I am overlooked, and underused. In my younger days, I was indispensable.

Now, I sit in a corner, forgotten and forlorn.

Doesn’t anyone want to hear what I have to offer?

I’m not stylish or flashy; I gave up form for function a long time ago. I was a valued treasure, prized for my knowledge and durability, but not my speed. I’m certainly slower now, but isn’t the journey part of the experience?

I see people glance my way, and just as quickly look somewhere else. They are embarrassed to be caught staring at the artifact in the corner.

Some smile apologetically before turning away, but everyone turns. Have I become obsolete within my own lifetime?

I am still useful, if only someone would give me a chance.

Sincerely, Encyclopedia, Man

The radiant sunshine sparkled. White, perfectly round, and textured, I patiently waited atop my perch just an inch off the ground. Lovely shades of green in the uniformed sea of bluntly cut blades dazzled all around. Soon the sharp blow would smack my side… it always did. Whack! The hit felt solid; nothing unsteady or unintentional.

All alone I soared through the air, whizzing like an arrow destined for its target. My life had purpose. A moment had never been more correct, on course, and right with the world. I was not slicing; I was not hooking, but steadfastly sailing toward the prized destination that seemed to be calling my name. A gallery of voices whispered with excitement and anticipation…

Finally, I plopped and rolled; right on target! My first hole-in-one!

‘SUNLAND’

NOTEWORTHY

SID DULANEY leaves his cheating girlfriend behind in Massachusetts and returns home to Tucson in “Sunland,” Oregon writer Don Waters’ hilarious first novel. Sid had worked as an itinerant teacher, but finds himself jobless in Tucson, where he spends his time looking after his beloved grandmother, Nana. He starts crossing the border to buy 88-year-old Nana’s medications more cheaply in Mexico.

When Nana’s fellow residents at the Paseo del Sol retirement community ask him to do the same for them, he becomes a prescription drug runner for grateful senior citizens.

“At first,” Sid explains, “I had trouble accepting the little amounts people could pay me for delivering drugs.

My problem was that I liked these old folks too much. I liked their unending kindness, their teary eyes, and their crazy fashion sensibilities. … Very

along the border. A newspaper reporter is described as “a typical borderlander, all tendon and grit”; the public art in a Mexican town reveals “a culture replete with mythos,” while a votive candle shrine brings out “the usual suspects: Jesus, the Virgin of Guadalupe.” And Sid takes time to appreciate the desert landscape: “It was an amazing, clear, moon-rippled night. It hurt my chest and head thinking on it, about us, our placement in the grand order.

Everything was just stars and dust.”

“Sunland” is one part farce and one part soulful examination of love, friendship, mortality and Arizona living.

few people had the time to sit down, prepare a pot of tea, and talk to you, and care about you, truly care, but these people did.”

Despite the savings on prescriptions, Nana’s finances dwindle, and so Sid turns to increasingly desperate measures to keep her at Paseo del Sol. He learns he’s being followed by the henchman of a Mexican drug lord, who wants kickbacks, and begins to romance a beautiful social worker at Paseo del Sol, their relationship kicking off to a hysterical start at an adults-only “Animal Amore” tour of the zoo. These elements come to a comic boil as Sid, determined to make one last score, agrees to transport a migrant over the border. His charge, however, turns out to belong to a different species than expected.

In taut, inventive prose, Waters, winner of the Iowa Short Fiction Award, captures the rhythms of life
