POPULAR MUSIC IT MAY BE QUIET out
there in Aspen as offseason stretches into mid-May, but there are some diverse sounds worth hearing at Belly Up. The music club is hosting a full week of free concerts, amid an offseason that’s packed with them. Colorado’s longest-running Grateful Dead cover band, Shakedown Street, anchors the week of shows on Friday, May 13 (free before 10 p.m. and $10 thereafter). The Aspen regulars are touring with re-creations of Dead concerts from the legendary “Europe ’72” tour. They’re planning to perform the April 14, 1972 performance in Copenhagen — a favorite among Deadhead tape collectors. Shakedown Street has been at it for nearly 30 years since its inception in Manitou Springs in 1987, with a rotating cast of players, and earned its reputation capturing the Dead’s spirit of improvisation and discovery in shows that transport the Deadhead faithful back to iconic concerts of decades yore. The Afro-fusion band Paa Kow — from Ghana by way of Boulder — plays on Thursday, May 12. Denver indie-pop outfit South of France plays the club Saturday, May 14. Digg, a Denver jam band, performs on Sunday, May 15, followed by the Colorado bluegrass outfit Canyon Collected on Monday, May 16. The Oscar-winning Amy Winehouse documentary, “Amy,” screens for free in the club on Tuesday, May 17, followed by the San Francisco soul group Con Brio (with Aspen’s DJ Naka G opening) on Wednesday, May 19. And the Americana group The Last Revel, out of Minneapolis, offers a free concert on Thursday, May 19. Read more on Shakedown Street in the May 13 Weekend section of The Aspen Times.
Shakedown Street returns to Belly Up Aspen on Friday, May 13.

VOX POP What is your favorite bike trail and why?
by JOHN COLSON
Trump; part of a crop of bully-boys WELL, THAT’S THAT. The Bishop of Bluster, Donald Trump, has all but been anointed as the Republican presidential nominee. Now we can all take a deep breath, let fearful thoughts about the future roll around our craniums for a while, and then let that breath out in an awful scream. Trump is clearly the most unqualified Republican to get to this point in an awfully long time; his candidacy already has done incalculable damage to our national political atmosphere, and it hasn’t ended yet. Political commentators have been noting for some time that the tone of politics in the U.S. has been deteriorating at a gallop. But this year’s plummet into infantile namecalling, lies disguised as ignorance and more has been nothing short of meteoric. And it is interesting to note that this kind of deliberately insulting and misleading behavior has not just blighted political discourse in this country, but others, too. Take, for example, a Philippine politician whose outlandish and insulting demeanor might make even Trump blush — Rodrigo Duterte, mayor of Davao City and frontrunner in the race for that nation’s presidency. This is the guy who, when asked about an Australian missioner who was raped and killed in a 1989 prison riot in his city, joked about it and said he wished he could have been the rapist. He’s also suggested that disabled people, rather than count on their government to help them out, might be better off just killing themselves. The articles I’ve seen did not explain why he thought that might be a better option for all concerned, but I’d be willing to guess it has something to do with saving a lot of bother and money that would be wasted on people he clearly feels have little to contribute to society. Nice, eh? I can’t help but wonder if he’d feel that way if, say, his sister or cousin came down with some debilitating, crippling disease. Actually, the more I think about it, he’d probably be just as happy killing off family members as he would perfect strangers. Here in our own hemisphere, we have a Trump doppleganger in the form of Jair Bolsonaro, a Brazilian congressman who wants to oust President Dilma Rousseff and take her job, and whose utterances are nearly as disgusting as those of his Philippine counterpart. According to news reports, he has gotten into nasty arguments with another member of congress who happens to be a woman (she wasn’t identified in the article I read). During one heated exchange, Bolsonaro
reportedly said she “was not worthy of being raped by him,” as reported. His actual words to the target of his bile, according to the story, were, “You don’t merit that.” At some other point in his illustrious career, he reportedly disavowed any consideration or compassion for the country’s downtrodden gay population, and was quoted as saying, “I would be incapable of loving a gay son. I prefer that he die in an accident.” I tell ya, between thugs who use religion as a shield for their atrocities and their hunger for power (I refuse to call them Islamist or Muslims, since their only beliefs are in blood and intimidation), military despots who kill and maim their critics (such as a Thailand mom facing prison for her one-word acknowledgment of an email criticizing the royal family), and ignoramuses like Trump, this world sure seems caught in a nightmarish tailspin. Although it would be convenient and fun to blame Trump for all this hyperbolic descent into madness in the name of political power, I can’t. It got going long before he became the top dog in the Republican lineup for the White House. But it certainly is of a piece with his behavior, and it may well signal a spreading disinterest in remaining civil during political disputes. It’s telling, isn’t it, that the very Republican leadership that sowed the seeds now being reaped in the presidential contest appear to be as horrified as the rest of us that their evil plans have ripened into such a monstrous candidate spouting such insane policy declarations? As is now being bandied about on TV talk shows of all stripes, the Republican party has been so bent upon demonizing anything and everything the Democrats do (especially, of course, Barack Obama over the last eight years) they never noticed that there might be a downside to their machinations. It seems to have started when Newt Gingrich engineered his Contract On America back in the early 1990s. And like a metastasizing cancer, it blossomed through the dismal years of Bill Clinton’s rightward slide into becoming a Republican in all but name, the impeachment proceedings mounted by Clinton’s new Republican buddies after he, ah, did a little mounting of his own, the unhappy reign of George “The Shrub” Bush, and the embarrassing treatment of President Obama by the rightwing haters and liars. If this keeps up, the future will not be something we recognize.

1905 B A S A LT
ON JULY 25, 1905, the Aspen Daily Times reported on an annual bike race that ran between Basalt and Glenwood Springs, along the Colorado Midland Railroad. As the paper noted, “the eighth annual road race which had been so carefully outlined by City Agent Keck of Glenwood, was held Sunday over the same course as in former years. The weather was ideal; the roads were fine, with a few exceptions where ranchmen had let irrigating water flood the road. There were 17 starters in the bicycle races — Aspen furnished seven of these — the others being divided among Grand Junction, Leadville, Fruita, Cardiff, Sunshine and Glenwood. The special train with fourteen coaches, crowded with a jolly a lot of pleasure seekers as ever you saw, ran side by side with the racers. Aspen, as usual, was the Banner City in attendance and out of seven entries in the bicycle races our riders brought home no less than five of the elegant prizes, to say nothing of the handsome gold medal won by Ted Cooper in the motor cycle race. The time record of 1 hr. 11 min. was not lowered, the best time this year being 1:20. Everybody speaks in the highest terms of the efforts of the Midland to make this event a great success and will look forward with pleasure to the 9th annual race.” The photograph above shows spectators and racers at the start of the annual Basalt to Glenwood race, circa 1905. The race was held from 1898 to 1914. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

LIGHT IT UP: BRUNTON ‘LIGHTWAVE’ LANTERN THIS IS NOT YOUR DADDY’S CAMP LANTERN. The $200 LightWave Amp from Brunton gives enough glow to illuminate an entire campsite and comes with a bevy of functions you don’t ever really need (but may come to covet once you’ve tried them out). Backing up, before the naysayers pipe in on solitude in the outdoors and “turn-off-that-danged-racket” rants… I know. I know these kind of products can be incongruous to the wilderness experience. But read on if you’ve entered the modern era. Yes, your friends and your kids (and maybe even your parents now, too) will have their phones on them at the campsite. Turn them off and unplug if you can. Or, like more and more people are figuring out, limit technology’s use except where it can enhance the experience. I found this Brunton lantern/bluetooth speaker combo to be a fun, if completely unnecessary, toy for car camping where you don’t have neighbors near by. Use it in the backyard during a party or barbecue. Your kids will love it for a sleepover in the yard. Turn the big unit on and it can blink a multicolor light show and pump music loud enough for a gathering around a campfire. On your phone screen, a color wheel controls the lantern’s massive LEDs, with smooth transitions through the hues of an electric rainbow at the swipe of a thumb. Brunton calls the LightWave Amp the “world’s most advanced camping lantern.” For that descriptor you get USB ports, powerful LEDs, Bluetooth connectivity, an accompanying app (for iOS or Android), and a 20,000mAh lithium-ion battery to control it all. I cued up a Spotify playlist to test it out. On my phone, the app gives several options to connect, control lights, play music, and even set an alarm if you want to wake up to tunes and light. www.brunton.com/products/ Beyond the dance show option, the touchscreen lighting lightwave-amp control has at least one practical play: Set to a red tone, the LEDs can help preserve night vision. Music is impressive out of the lantern, with a big caveat (see below). The unit has a powerful speaker on its underside. Quiet music is fine, and podcasts or other voice audio sounds good. But turn up the volume and you might have an issue — depending on the surface underneath, I found songs to be slightly muffled and missing tones when played on a wood table. There is an easy fix, however: Turn the lantern upside-down. Flipped over on its top end, the songs were clear, including high notes and deep bass. Beyond lights and audio, the rechargeable battery inside serves as a power station. Two USB outputs allow for charging phones, tablets, cameras, and other devices. At full capacity, it should be able to recharge a phone more than 10 times and still have juice left. The lantern is water resistant, so rain is not an issue. It can run for up to 13 hours on its highest setting, making it usable for a long weekend camping between charge-ups at home. It’s big and heavy, measuring about 11 x 6.5 x 6.5 inches. The weight is centered at the base, making it stable on a table or the ground. There’s a handle on top that flips up to tie the lantern higher or carry it around. In the end, beyond the speaker position for loud songs, the LightWave Amp functioned fine in my review. Look into this one-of-a-kind lantern if you want mood lighting and music anywhere you can carry it.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS
EASY DOES IT: A HAPPY SOLUTION TO EATING WELL, SACRIFICE NOT REQUIRED THE BARREL SMOKER was puffing away like a steam engine when I arrived on Saturday afternoon. A few days earlier, Mike Rutherford—“Big Mike,” formerly of Meat & Cheese in Aspen and Nest Lounge at the Viceroy Snowmass before that—had unveiled Puppy and the Princess, a panini-and-popcorn food truck parked AMANDA here, on the patio of RAE the new Glenwood Springs Brew Garden on 6th Street. I was nearing the end of what would turn out to be a lucky 13day juice cleanse, and hesitant to throw caution to the wind with barbecued meat. But Rutherford, a Houston native I’ve come to know through his kitchen experiments, has a knack for sweet-savory flavor combination and an innate respect for charcoal fire. While shopping downvalley, I had to scope his operation and say hi, at least. That’s the story I told myself, anyway. Soon I was licking homemade strawberry-pumpkin butter from my fingers while a downpour washed over the Brew Garden windows. I had crushed the Puppy Nutz, a Texas-style pulled pork panini with dill pickles and Cotija cheese, no problem. “That was my first real meal in nearly two weeks!” I exclaimed to Rutherford, back outside to bid him and his bright-green trailer adieu. “Now I’m trying to eat all whole foods, and organic.” I did one of those clenched-teeth grimaces. Like, whoops. Rutherford beamed in response. “Well, the whole hog is from Paonia,” he replied proudly. “The onions are organic. The arugula is from Two Roots Farm in Basalt. The bread is Louis Swiss. I try to source ingredients—even cilantro and basil—as locally as possible.” No shame in slamming down

sustainable ingredients, then. Where our food comes from may be just as important as how it’s prepared. Earlier that morning, in fact, I learned how to build a “keyhole garden”—a six-footdiameter, mostly self-sustaining, raised-bed construction featuring a central “compost column”— entirely out of scrap material culled from the Pitkin County Landfill. The free, three-hour, hands-on workshop was part of the Living Lab series, which aims to show residents how to use recycling, including food scraps, to grow more food and thus “close the loop” of the local system. Once completed, the keyhole garden we began to build from recycled two-by-fours and chicken wire (rain impeded our progress, alas) on the landfill lawn might turn out more than 400 pounds of food in the next six months—just as a similar garden outside of Carbondale’s Third Street Center did last summer, according to Kim Doyle Willie. Founder of Growing Empowerment, Willie teaches classes on organic gardening to high-schoolers and area residents, donating harvest from community gardens to food pantries including Lift-Up. Despite the Roaring Fork Valley’s wacky weather of late, Willie says, it’s not too early to begin planting cold crops such as broccoli, kale, chard, spinach, cauliflower, onions, peas, and beans for initial harvest the second week of June. In just three hours at the Living Lab, I collected enough knowledge to build my own garden using materials snagged from the landfill. But will I? Though the rewards far outweigh initial output of building, planting, and tending, I face limitations. For starters, my landlord might nix the proposal. I enjoy getting my hands dirty, but my track record with houseplants is laughable. Do I really have time to nurture a garden?
Socco, a thin Italian crêpe made with chickpea flour, creates a simple, healthful pizza informed by Gwyneth Paltrow’s third bestselling cookbook, “It’s All Easy.”
A happy medium between dining out and harvesting produce from a backyard garden plot, of course, is simply preparing more food at home. Yet outdoor adventure and cultural escapades await, tempting us to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible. Gwyneth Paltrow gets it. The Academy Award-winning actress, mother of two, and high priestess of website-turned-lifestyle empire GOOP recently published her third cookbook. Like her others, “It’s All Easy: Delicious Weekday Recipes for the Super-Busy Home Cook” became an instant New York Times bestseller. As the title suggests, it “is meant to be a road map: a self-help book for the chronically busy cook,” Paltrow writes in her introduction. (The concept resonates with Aspenites; the book has sold consistently at Explore Booksellers since its launch.) I’ve been a fan of the blonde bombshell’s recipes since “My Father’s Daughter,” Paltrow’s 2011 opus that is part memoir, part family recipe collection updated for a modern, healthful lifestyle.
Paltrow’s philosophy has always been A-list: To feed oneself the best quality food possible, mostly plants and organic when possible, yet not necessarily without animal products such as lean meat, eggs, and dairy. She’ll take an extra step to make something homemade if it’s worth it, and includes vegan preparations often. Coming from a true Renaissance woman who has famously extolled the feelgood properties of the occasional martini and even—gasp!—the rare cigarette, her latest book does not disappoint. It’s approachable yet intriguing. And even Mario Batali will tell you, the gal can cook. Having grown accustomed to the simplicity of mixing a superfood shake three times daily, I flipped through “It’s All Easy” seeking a recipe that might ease me back into the swing of cooking without chewing up too much time. Initially distracted by the gorgeous photography and feverishly dropping bookmarks on every other page, I found the ideal dish about halfway through: Zucchini and Leek Soup. Warm, creamy, and comforting on a rainy

day. It’s also vegan, gluten-free, and requires just 30 minutes and a high-speed blender. Done. I admit, what makes the dish a snap to prepare doesn’t exactly scream “tasty.” What sold me, though, was Paltrow’s straightforward, slightly sassy headnote. “This makes the creamiest, most delicious vegan soup imaginable,” she writes. “Seriously, it’s hard to believe that it’s made up of just seven ingredients, one of which is water. If only all spa food tasted like this!” Bold claim, right? I began sweating leeks and sliced garlic in mock-defiance, but it wasn’t long before I was scraping the serving bowl with my finger to slurp every last drop. Spicy Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup from “It’s All Good,” you have been demoted. On Sunday I craved a more substantial meal—pizza, specifically—so I tackled Paltrow’s recipe for socca, a chickpea-flour crêpe, which she tops with three combinations of vegetables, such as roasted carrots with Middle Eastern za’atar spice, sliced avocado, lime juice, and cilantro. Already I had roasted a sheet pan of Roma tomatoes for the week, and a bag of garbanzo bean flour sat in my pantry, so I whipped up the batter (flour, water, salt) and scoured the fridge for other Italian toppings (olives, feta, parsley, and more zucchini, shaved with a peeler). Unfortunately, I found that Paltrow’s method—cooking the socca in a nonstick pan on the stovetop—while easy, yes, yields texture akin to a soggy pancake. A few mouse-clicks later, I found a solution in a more traditional method. I tossed a cast-iron pan into the oven, cranked up the broiler, and in just shy of double the time (11 minutes versus 6) turned out a crispy-edged socca that, once cut, I was able to pick up and eat like, well, real pizza. Virtue tastes pretty good, it turns out. Next up: Paltrow’s Thai Style Crab Cakes, Tikka Masala Roast Chicken, and a devilish raw cacao chocolate mousse with whipped cashew cream. Balance is in reach at last. The one thing I miss about my 13-day cleanse experience, though? Not having to do dishes!
READING RAINBOW It’s never too early to show children the importance of eating nutritious, colorful food. So last year Julianne Stokes, a Snowmass Village-based artist and mother of three, published “ABC Healthy,” a children’s book featuring realistic watercolor paintings of fruits and vegetables paired with cheery, rhyming text. Spanning apples and hummus to watercress and xigua (Chinese watermelon) and a back-page glossary, “ABC Healthy” is pediatrician-approved. “Seeing fruits and vegetables around the house or in a book, you’re more likely to eat them,” Stokes says. “It’s the same with kids: If you teach them when they’re young, then they’ll make healthy choices.” Find “ABC Healthy” at Aspen Emporium and Flying Circus (Stokes will hold a children’s reading with healthy snacks there on May 21 at 2 p.m.), Explore Booksellers, and Lil‘ Boogies.

AMERICA’S FIRST WINE GEEK: JEFFERSON’S LOVE OF WINE
THANKS TO THE BRILLIANT Broadway play written by LinManuel Miranda, Alexander Hamilton has become America’s current favorite founding father. But for those who love a little wine with their liberty, the most noted patriot would be Thomas Jefferson. TJ, as we’ll call him, is recognized as a leading light in our emerging nation for a number KELLY J. HAYES of reasons, not the least of which was his role as the guiding author of the Declaration of Independence. But it’s his reputation as one of America’s first wine connoisseurs and vine viticulturists that is of interest here.
THE VIRGINIAN TJ was born in 1743 in Shadwell, Virginia. Though he was a notoriously fastidious keeper of notes on his daily doings (for much of his life he made duplicates), there is no written record of how his love of wine first evolved. But in pre- and early revolutionary times (1763-1783), the art of drinking, particularly ports and Madeira that had made it to these shores from Portugal, was a shared pursuit. Taverns dotted the 13 colonies and it is thought that TJ was influenced early on by the cellars of mentors and college tutors. In any case, when the young man began to build his home on land he had inherited from his late father, what we now know as the iconic Monticello, his first order of business was the construction of a wine cellar. John Hailman, in his fine book “Thomas Jefferson on Wine,” cites a notation in an account book that Jefferson kept of the project that reads: “four good fellows, a lad and two girls of abt. 16 each in 8 ½ hours dug in my cellar of mountain clay a place 3 f. deep, 8 f. wide and 16 ½ f. long.” That was in 1769, when he was just 26 years of age. He was laying the foundation for a life in wine that would last until he died on the Fourth of July 1826, at the ripe old age of 82.

This was a “starter” cellar for TJ. Later in life, as both his collection and his home grew, he built another wine cellar in the passageway of Monticello. This one, somewhat larger, was restored in 2010 and is famed for featuring a dumbwaiter that allowed him to summon bottles from the cellar directly to the living room. Very modern.
THE FRENCH WINE COUNTRY SOJOURN TJ’s real wine education began when he was fortuitously named as the United States Minister to France, for a four-year period from 1785 until 1789. This was his golden time abroad before he returned home to become the first Secretary of State, the second Vice President and the third President of the United States. His Paris post is well chronicled in the film “Jefferson in Paris.” Jefferson embarked from Paris in 1787 to see France’s great wine regions first-hand. The journey took three and a half months by horse-drawn carriage and covered over 3,000 miles. His trip took him through Burgundy, the Rhone and Bordeaux. While he was tasting the fruits of the vineyards for certain, he was also enthralled with the opportunity to learn the lessons of wine production, taking copious notes on vineyard techniques, which grapes were best suited to which soils, and how the vignerons made their wines. This was knowledge that he would export to the U.S. He also learned about vintage variations and how the Bordelais classified their vineyards and their wines. And he learned about wine fraud, choosing to purchase his bounty directly from the vineyards themselves rather than through middlemen. When he left for America, he took with him many bottles of wine from vineyards that would become First Growth Bordeaux.
THE JEFFERSON FAKES In 1985, Christopher “Kip” Forbes, of the Forbes Magazine family, purchased a bottle of 1787
The main house at Monticello.
Château Lafite at auction that was engraved with “1787 Lafite Th.J.” It was sold as a priceless relic from TJ’s private stash. Subsequently, four bottles of Bordeaux, with what was depicted as the same provenance, were sold to collector Bill Koch, the subject of last week’s story. The problem was the wines were deemed to be fakes. A fraudster named Hardy Rodenstock said they had been found in Paris and subsequently had sold them for record prices. The fuss over the TJ wines started what has been a decades long obsession of a few
collectors to stamp out the trade in counterfeit wines. Last March it was announced that Matthew McConaughey would star in a Sony Pictures film about the scandal made by Will Smith’s Production Company, Overbrook Entertainment. What would TJ think? Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and black Lab named Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.
UNDER THE INFLUENCE “M5” 2013 BY MARGERUM WINE COMPANY What could be better than watching the Warriors and sipping a great California wine? This beauty from Doug Margerum is a blend of five grapes (hence the name) sourced from 11 different vineyards in Santa Barbara County, San Luis Obispo County, Sta. Rita Hills, and Foxen Canyon. A quintessential Rhone blend with California flair, the grenache leads with perfume on the nose and hits hard with lush dark berry flavors on the palate. Chocolate notes are enhanced by the syrah and there is a hint of the California dirt from the Mourvèdre. Finished with counoise and cinsault, this wine features a winning starting five.

NOTEWORTHY ‘The Billionaire’s Vinegar’ By Benjamin Wallace Benjamin Wallace wrote the book on the wine scandal that rocked the world of high-end collectors and the auction houses where many of the world’s most expensive wines are traded, or bought and sold as commodities. But the beauty of his book is the timeless nature of the prose. He tells the story of the collectors, the wine critic Robert Parker, the thief Hardy Rodenstock, and even Jefferson himself in this quick to read page turner. It is his extraordinary ability to easily explain the motives and the history of each player that makes this such a must read. Good luck to those who are making the film. It will be a challenging task.

FROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE
ASPEN UNTUCKED
UP AND AWAY: THE ASPEN SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFERS STUDENTS THE CHANCE TO GO SKY HIGH IT’S EARLY on a Monday morning and the sun is shining, a rarity in Aspen as of late. I’m strapped into a back row passenger’s seat of a Diamond DL40 Diamondstar. It’s a composite airplane made out of fiberglass and other similar materials, making it feel extremely light. The only planes I’ve ever ridden in before are of commercial size. They run smooth, for BARBARA PLATTS the most part, and only offer passengers tiny windows from which to peer out of, making one feel protected from the endlessness of the sky. Riding in a Diamond DL40, which has only four seats, is quite different. The windows are huge, allowing visibility for miles and the plane is small, making it easy to feel every bump and turn as we head towards the runway. After the pilot and co-pilot fiddle with several switches and communicate with the tower via headsets, they line up the plane. It picks up speed and effortlessly lifts into the air. The pilot of the plane is Aspen

High School junior Ethan Burkley. He is accompanied by instructor Gary Kraft. Both of them, and me for that matter, are up 10,00011,000 feet because of Aspen AERO Space Alliance, a nonprofit organization under Aeronautics for the Aspen School District. AERO stands for Aeronautics Engineering Research Opportunities. The three of us take off from Aspen Airport and head toward
Ma y 1 2 - Ma y 18 , 2016
Rifle. But, due to low hanging clouds, Kraft soon decides it’s best to switch course for Eagle Airport to work on some “touch and go”’s. This is where the student lands the aircraft and then takes off immediately for practice. The same routine is repeated several times. I quietly panic to myself as we lower for the first landing, sure that something is going to go wrong. Though, after that first landing and
takeoff, I begin to feel safe. Burkley and Kraft are calm and calculated, being very careful to check each step far before they actually have to make it. Burkley has not been flying for a couple months, due to how busy he’s been with other extracurricular activities, but he said it all comes back easily. “It’s like riding a bike,” he said. “Except there are lots more bells and whistles.” Aspen AERO was started in January 2011 by Greg Roark. His family and he moved to the Roaring Fork Valley because his wife got a job with the school district. He had taught an aeronautics program at a charter school in New Mexico, but when they moved to Aspen he was not entirely sure what to do next. It wasn’t until telling a parent about the program that the idea of bringing it to Aspen seemed possible. “A parent said we should make this happen here,” Roark said. “We came up with the idea in October of 2010 and started it that January.” Roark’s title is the CEO of Aspen AERO Space Alliance, as well as the director of Aeronautics for the Aspen School District.

NOTEWORTHY Want to learn more about Aspen AERO? Join a behind the scenes tour and event this weekend. What: Tour the aircraft facilities and meet with local commercial pilots and emergency personnel while enjoying light food and drinks and perusing a silent auction with flying-related experiences. When: Sunday, May 15 from 4-7 p.m. Where: Aspen Airport Price: $5 How: Go to aspenaero.org
He said the program has two sides to it, one is the flying and learning to become a pilot, the other is engineering. This program can get students certification in both fields. “We want to give the student something at the end of this rainbow that they can use,” Roark said about the certifications. The program Roark started is not just for high school students, there are close to 400 kids from kindergarten to 12th grade that are in the classroom each week, using everything from protractors to flight simulators. Roark finds the work he does with these students to be extremely rewarding. “To me, the coolest thing about this is seeing first hand what students are capable of,” he said. “That’s why I do what I do.” There are currently 31 students flying, thanks to this program. Senior Ladd Taylor was the first Aspen AERO student, or Aspen AERO AV8R, to earn his pilot’s license at the end of April. There are six other students who will get their licenses within the next 40 days. Burkley is one of those students. He’s been a part of Aspen AERO for a year and a half. His first six months were spent in the classroom,
or “ground school” as they call it. He’s been flying for a year and is now only 10 hours away from acquiring his license. Another almost pilot is junior Juliette Woodrow. She started flying in September but has been taking classes since freshman year. She said that, initially, she was never expecting to fall in love with it. “It’s amazing. It gives you a much bigger perception of the world and the valley and it’s great to see how
connected we are to everything,” Woodrow said. Although flying is a lot of fun, Woodrow said it can also be stressful because there’s a great deal of multitasking. She hopes to take what she has learned in this program and continue on with engineering in college. Her dream job is to become an astronaut one day. That dream is something that should be fostered and grown, according to Roark.
“When a child has a dream, our responsibility is the care and feeding of that dream,” Roark said. “I do what I can to help make that dream a reality.” As Burkley, Kraft and I near the end of the flight, we head back to Aspen for one more touch and go. People constantly label or at least consider Aspen to be one of the toughest runways to land on in the country. Burkley eases down with grace, showing no sign of difficulty. We head up one last time and I get a chance to look over the entire Roaring Fork Valley. Woodrow was spot on when she said just how connected Aspen feels to the rest of the world when we are up in the air. It’s a perspective that any person should be fortunate enough to experience, especially when they are young and deciding what to do in the next step of their lives. Luckily, with dedicated instructors like Roark and Kraft, this is only the beginning.
Barbara Platts would love to learn to fly but isn’t sure she could pass any of the “ground school” classes. She’s awful at math. Reach her at bplatts.000@ gmail.com.

and not some sort of healthy consolation prize (try serving sliced apples at your next dinner party and you’ll see what I mean). Perhaps the best benefit to making berries the star of dessert is that there’s a little wiggle room to add a few bells and whistles. One of my favorite fruit dessert strategies is to whip up a simple syrup (just water and sugar heated until they come together in a thin syrup) with cool flavors. Think about adding interesting spices, such as cardamom with vanilla bean and black pepper, or herbs, such as mint or basil and lemon zest. Then just drizzle
In a small saucepan over medium, heat the sugar and water, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bitters, vanilla pod and seeds, orange zest and juice, then cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from the heat and allow to steep at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. Discard the vanilla pod. Refrigerate if not using right away. Divide the berries among 6 dessert cups. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the syrup over each berry bowl. Top with shavings of dark chocolate.
your way to dessert magic. Add a tablespoon of liqueur or wine to the syrup — think orange liqueur or Marsala — and the flavors really pop. A few drops of almond extract or even cocktail bitters also are great. Only a tiny bit of a flavorful syrup is needed, but be aware that you are adding a bit of (worthwhile) sugar. Just before serving, use a vegetable peeler to shave off a few shards of deep, almost bitter chocolate, and you’ve just turned simple fruit into a weekend-worthy dessert.

18 HOURS OF FRUITA
MAY SELBY
THE ROARING VALLEY was well represented with mountain bikers on the course and fans on support for last weekend’s 18 Hours of Fruita presented by U.S. Bank. Staged at the grassy, Highline Lake State Park, the start/finish area was the site of colorful campsites as racers rode laps around the 7-mile loop course. The gun went off at the stroke of midnight, followed by one of the more challenging years to date in regards to weather. Rain, wind, low temperatures and thunder all signaled rough conditions while lightning touched down in the distance at times toward the Book Cliffs to the north and the National Monument to the east. “Mother Nature dominated,” said Mark Thurber of Team I Want My 2 Dollars, racing for their fifth consecutive year. “She got us.” And with all the rain, there was an awful

lot of road kill, added his teammate Jimmy McManus. “Toads, frogs, kangaroo mice were all over wet sections of the trail,” and got hammered by the stream of riders. “It was blood and guts everywhere.” Not stacked with pro riders, the vibe of the event is much more lowkey and pressure-free than many other competitions, fostering a fun, encouraging race and lacking “agros” on course, so to speak. Roaring Fork riders collected top honors — among them were the women’s solo category swept by Aspen’s Courtney Boyd in first, setting a record for their division, Carbondale’s (and Aspen Times staffer) Maria Wimmer in second and Lee Bryant of Emma in third. Team Aspen Mtn Cycling Club took third in the four-person coed division with Rachel Beck, Rob Orman, Corey McLernon and Nathan Nelson.

by ANDREW TRAVERS
RUNNING DOWN THE BELLY UP SUMMER LINEUP (SO FAR) MOST OF THE VALLEY’S venues and performing arts presenters announce their seasonal lineups in one big dose — a summer’s worth of events dropped in your lap to ponder. Belly Up goes for the slow play, gradually filling in the calendar an artist or two at a time. This time of year, after the lifts stop spinning and town empties out and just about everybody closes up shop as the mud starts flowing, the music club’s regular lineup additions can be a beacon of hope for the action to come. The most recent was news that Baauer, the trap and bass maestro and the guy behind the uber-viral “Harlem Shake,” will play the club on June 30. Before that came a pleasant surprise presale announcement for singersongwriter Josh Ritter making his return to the Belly Up stage on July 13. Much of June and July has filled up at this point — kicking off with punk rock legends the Buzzcocks on June 1, singer-songwriter Langhorne Slim & the Law on June 2, and Austinbased duo Ghostland Observatory already sold out on June 3. There are some returning acts, like Cracker (for twelve bucks!) on June 5 and a pair of Marleys the following week — Ziggy on June 7 and Stephen on June 10. And tropical house pioneer Thomas Jack — who packed the club in late December — comes back for a set on June 25. New Orleans brass and funk virtuoso Trombone Shorty and his band Orleans Avenue headline the club on June 12. The Fourth of July is on a Monday this year, giving us a three-day Independence Day weekend. Thievery Corporation is coming back for what’s become its early July pseudo-residency at the club with back-to-back concerts July 3 and 4. The beloved Washingtonbased collective will be preceded by Blues Traveler on Friday the 1st and vaunted Grateful Dead tribute band Joe Russo’s Almost Dead on Saturday the 2nd (reserved seats already sold

out for that one; general admission are going for $65). You can always count on at least a handful of classic rock heroes and heritage acts in the club during summertime — so far they’ve got Boz Scaggs on the calendar for July 23 and, further out, Gregg Allman on Sept. 27. Blues guitar prodigy Jonny Lang plays July 22 and indie pop pianist Andrew McMahon headlines on July 25, followed a few days later by back-to-back young Texan throwbacks: country star Ryan Bingham on July 29 and blues master Gary Clark, Jr., whose July 30 sold out pretty much instantaneously this spring. Belly Up has rolled out just three shows for August so far: Aspen regular Chris Isaak returning Aug. 1, Swedish electro-pop band Miike Snow on Aug. 2 in what promises to be a summer highlight, and bluesman Keb Mo on Aug. 11.
A few of the premiere summer dates haven’t filled in yet for the club, including all of Food & Wine weekend and most of Labor Day weekend (The Gipsy Kings play on Sunday, Sept. 4).

NOTEWORTHY ‘Imagine Me Gone’ Adam Haslett 356 pages, hardcover: $26 Little, Brown and Company, 2016
on a New England lake, as John cuts the motor and tells his children, “Imagine me gone,” forcing them to devise a way to get to shore without him. Alec writes of falling in love, at 31, for the first time. And in Michael, from childhood through his adult years, we witness the emergence of his inherited psychic pain and the shadow it casts over this eldest son’s hyper-intelligent mind. With his extraordinarily economical and observant prose, Haslett fully inhabits each of these characters. By the time the children are grown, you feel as if you’ve matured beside them — as familiar with their tics and emotional intricacies as your own kin. The book is tender, often beautiful, sometimes emotionally searing and, at times, surprisingly funny. Michael’s chapters can be particularly hilarious. He writes much of the time in parody, in a style that would be at home

in McSweeney’s or on the “Shouts and Murmurs” page of the New Yorker. On a family sea trip to England, he writes an aunt outlandish letters about passengers being sold into sexual slavery, later he fills out a psychiatrist’s questionnaire with a brilliant, long-form history of his heavily medicated history and various obsessions (it’s funny, I swear) and pens an “after-action” report following a family counseling session. But these sections are more than comic relief. These endearing sections of “Imagine Me Gone,” beside chapters detailing his siblings’ and parents’ difficulties of dealing with his mental illness, mirror the inevitable ups and downs of love and family.
