POPULAR MUSIC SINGERSONGWRITER HOWIE DAY, the tenor behind ubiquitous acoustic rock hits “She Says” and “Collide,” is coming to town for a performance at Belly Up Aspen on Wednesday, June 3. A Bangor, Maine, native, Day is touring in support of his fourth album, the crowd-funded “Lanterns,” released in April. “There is a sense of inherent creativity and imagination to these sessions,” Day said while recording the album. “Everything seems to be in perfect balance, and I want to capture that energy as it’s happening. Nothing is over or under thought, it’s just in the moment.” While his 2003 record “Stop All the World Now” spawned Day’s biggest radio hits, his live shows and incessant touring have earned him a reputation as a dynamic live act. In his solo performances, Day used looping samplers and effects pedals to back himself up — a creative surprise for audiences expecting a soft-rock singalong to Day’s earwormy compositions. Day has honed his concerts into fan-friendly mixes of song and banter through years of practice. He toured for five years straight before “Stop All the World Now,” his major label debut, and stayed on the road for three years after that. The show is scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. with Ryanhood opening. General admission tickets are $18 in advance and $20 day-of, available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen.com.

Singer-songwriter Howie Day will perform at Belly Up on Wednesday, June 3.

WITH JOHN COLSON

Watch for a ‘Frankenpot’ federal turnaround I WAS SITTING AROUND talking about life, the universe and everything with a fellow traveler who came to visit last weekend, when we got to chatting about the Monsanto corporation’s designs on the pot industry, and what that might mean. If Monsanto or any other corporate entity starts monkeying around with efforts to make a Genetically Modified Organism of the cannabis variety, which we will here dub “Frankenpot,” the results might not be what we think they will be. Before we get much further, I should note that this “story” about GMO pot has been making the rounds of Internet news sites and blogs for at least two years, the latest being a bulletin from the World News Daily Report in early April. “Monsanto creates first genetically modified strain of marijuana,” the WNDR site trumpeted in early April. But, according to another alternative-news website, Mintpressnews.com, the WNDR “is a fake website” that openly admits to its rather loose adherence to accuracy in reporting, sort of like that other popular disseminator of fiction as fact, The Onion. The Mintpress story about the WNDR story, however, notes that the WNDR report was “merely capitalizing on what appears to be a popular urban legend,” citing similar reports in such trusted publications as Cannabis Culture and an Israeli agribusiness news organ, BreedIT. BreedIT, by the way, is busily working away on its own GMO cannabis, according to a Dec. 3, 2014 story on its website. Meanwhile, the Cannabis Culture post ties Monsanto’s supposed efforts in with other well-known corporations, including Syngenta, BASF, Bayer, Dow and Dupont. Cannabis Culture writer Tracy Glesz-Ramsay is quoted as writing that all of the above-named corporate entities have “developed a keen interest in this still-illegal plant, as well.” I find that reference intriguing, mainly because both Dow and Dupont have been accused of having been in league with the successful U.S. campaign to demonize marijuana back in the 1930s, under the governmental imprimatur of this country’s first-ever drug czar, Harry J. Anslinger. The corporate support came out of the theory that pot and its non-intoxicating cousin, hemp, posed a threat to the corporations’ bottom lines in medicine and industrial products. Anslinger, interestingly, had earlier been a key figure in the U.S. Bureau of Prohibition, which oversaw that failed attempt to curb Americans’ appetites for booze, before he was named head of the newly created Federal Bureau of Narcotics in 1930. So, the circle appears truly to have been

unbroken. Anslinger was an anti-drug adviser to presidents up to and including John F. Kennedy, and had a disproportionate hand in keeping marijuana and hemp at the top of federal drug interdiction efforts for the past 80-plus years, which has helped the corporations get fat and happy in a pot-free business environment. But now that the floodgates have opened on the legalization of marijuana, in a veritable consumer revolution, it is logical to think that the Monsanto/Dow/Dupont corporate cabal wants to plant its big boots firmly in the middle of what could be the most profitable market in the world. In fact, given how corporations now sit in the catbird seat worldwide, and are the driving force in everything from wars to famine to handling epidemics, it would be nearly unthinkable that corporate boards of directors have not given marching orders to corner the market on all things cannabis. Given all that, it was highly amusing to take a peek at Monsanto’s own website, www.monsanto.com, where the corporation vehemently denies having anything to do with GMO marijuana. “The allegation is an Internet rumor and lie,” the site declares hotly. As Shakespeare’s Queen Gertrude noted in the play “Hamlet,” with considerable irony, “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” Now, if the corporations truly are dabbling in GMO marijuana experiments, it won’t be long before we see a national law legalizing the cultivation, manufacture, possession, sale and use of the long-repressed weed. As we all know, what Corporate American wants from the government, it gets. It has not mattered a whit that millions of lives have been ruined by prosecution and imprisonment thanks to our government’s anti-marijuana crusade over the decades, or that we have wasted countless opportunities to improve the lives of sufferers from a variety of ailments and diseases, or even that the government itself has lost untold billions in potential tax revenues that might have resulted from pot’s legalization. No, what matters is that obscenely wealthy corporations and their equally wealthy upper management can get even richer by taking over the cannabis industry. And the government is only too happy to oblige their Captains of Industry. Now, as a firm supporter of legalized cannabis nationwide, I should be happy about all this, but I find myself feeling conflicted. I cannot help but remember that the law of unintended consequences has slapped us across the face too often in the past to be ignored, and Frankenpot might be one genie we want to keep in the bottle.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Simon Guggenheim, elected senator in 1908, ran a political machine that reached The Aspen Times.

RUN THE NEWSPAPER OWNER OUT OF TOWN Newspaper editors today receive nasty emails from disgruntled readers, but in 1908 Aspen Times’ owner and editor T. L. Murphy nearly lost his life. The story begins during 1907, when Simon Guggenheim, who began gathering a fortune when he launched his smelting business in Leadville, returned from New York, to get elected as U.S. senator from Colorado. This was before direct election of senators, when it was possible to buy the votes of state legislators, whose votes determined the winner. Guggenheim spread money throughout the state and built a Republican machine that included the allegiance of newspapers. The Aspen Times had been a Republican paper. When its owner B. Clark Wheeler turned to politics and was elected state senator, he sold it. The party tradition continued when a group of local Republicans bought the paper. In 1907 the paper’s owners — W.S. Copeland, who ran sampling works in Aspen and Cripple Creek; Harry Koch, who ran a lumber business and was interested in forestry policy; and George Rohrbough, the county Republican chair — decided to sell. However, they wanted to ensure that the paper remained Republican. A state senator connected with the

Guggenheim machine recommended buyer T.J. Murphy. The three previous owners retained the right — at half the value of the paper — to dictate “domestic and political policies.” They held close ties to the Guggenheim machine and viewed the paper as a

The sellers hid the political half of the sale to avoid related taxes. And Copeland, the major owner, misrepresented the financial health of the paper. It was losing money, and a bank note was outstanding for the plant.

intoxicated Sheriff Begley at night, and told Murphy they were taking possession of the paper. In the process Begley knocked out Murphy with two strokes of his gun to the back of the head. He then dragged Murphy, plus an employee that came to Murphy’s aid, to jail. There, a judge listened to the story, filed charges

and demands for receivership, and sent them all home. A long receivership court case proceeded and all the while Murphy lambasted his three opponents daily in the paper. The competing paper, the Democrat Times, used the situation to link Aspen Times’ owners to the Guggenheim machine, dubbed the “smelter octopus.” The incident coincided with the bid of Aspen’s Henry Beck, the Republican candidate for the state senate, who received funding from “the machine.” Before the falling out, Murphy had been assured that much of the machine money would go to him for advertising. But because he turned against them, his financial troubles worsened. The resolution, somewhat a surprise, was that B. Clark Wheeler lost the election, returned to Aspen, and bought back his old newspaper. The Times remained the Republican voice, now independent from the machine. Guggenheim served only one term. Direct election of senators, the 17th Amendment, was ratified in 1913.

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.

GEAR of the WEEK

NOW TRENDING: URBAN ADVENTURE RUNNING

A BRANCH WHIPS MY FACE, then I hop a railroad tie. Ahead, beyond the line of runners, I can see a side trail that leads to a hobo camp. It’s a weekend morning in Minneapolis. I am one of hundreds running an urban race, the CityTrail Loppet, sponsored by the outdoor goods and footwear brand Salomon. The trajectory of organized recreational running events follows a funny arc. I’ve paid over the years to participate in venues as diverse as pro sports stadiums and muddy farm fields. Big city marathons have throngs of fans and aid stations almost every mile. On the flip side, in wilderness ultras and adventure races, you wear a pack, haul your water, and see hardly a soul. The CityTrail concept bridges those extremes, and I think it’s representative of a bigger trend. The campaign — which includes a race series, grassroots run events, branded Salomon products, and a fitness app — posits that you can find adventure anywhere. No need to drive to a wilderness trailhead. In Minneapolis, the CityTrail

P H O T O S B Y S T E V E K O T V I S , F / G O ( W W W. F - G O . U S )

Loppet included a 10-mile and a 10K course, and runners began in a first-ring suburb before dropping into a wooded railroad corridor. The race route crossed the Minneapolis border, then it headed south through parks, down rough trails, along train tracks, through woods, and over a creek. We went around lakes, down a bike path, and, finally, the course finished at a sculpture garden beneath the glass towers of downtown. Graffiti and at least one abandoned car were encountered. But we crossed almost no roads on the circuitous route and nature, of a sort, was the prevailing vibe. For years, as a resident of the city, I have milked these edge zones, including “pirate” trails and wooded wastelands where my dog could run free. I train in the urban wilds, including along a gorge near my house, running, mountain biking, and skiing on a frozen creek, all within earshot of a freeway and meandering through a dense urban core. I am hardly alone in my search for some outdoor adventure among the city streets; certainly individuals and groups bike, run, and recreate in these fringes, which

often blend into city parks or abandoned industrial areas. Salomon and its CityTrail concept bring this to a new and highly promoted level. The company has gone as far as mapping routes in cities around America and the world, all available on the namesake CityTrail app. My race last weekend followed flagging tape on its twisting course, and big white arrows of flour dribbled on dirt revealed the way. I tripped once and tumbled on a root, and I took at least one wrong turn. Then I emerged from the woods and saw the city ahead. It was a thrill to be dirty and exhausted, dead leaves stuck in my arm hairs, then cross a finish line back in civilization at a manicured park. The Loppet race was regulated and approved. No one is condoning trespassing or anything beyond the law. But when you can, no matter where you are, I do encourage getting off the beaten (and often paved) path.

WINEINK

SUMMER WINES FOR SUMMERTIME SIPPING SINCE WE HAVE PASSED MEMORIAL DAY, conventional wisdom says that we are officially in the summer season. Now, if someone could just relay the message to the jet stream and get us a little warmer weather. I am, however, optimistic enough to suggest that since we are on the cusp of the season of the sun, it is time to consider the KELLY J. HAYES yummy wines that you will want to drink with your summertime living. Summer wine shopping is a little different from the rest of the year. Why? Well, for the same reason that summer is different from the rest of the year. It’s a little more casual, a little more frivolous. It’s a season that calls for some spontaneity and a little less seriousness. The foods are fresh; the grill gets fired up more often. Summer is a great time to take a virtual trip around the wine world and around the vineyard. Use the season to experiment with different grapes and explore regions that may be new to you. Spend less money, but buy more bottles. Be bold in your experimentation. Here are five suggestions for inexpensive summer sippers (none should set you back more than $20) that will work well with the foods of summer. Let’s start with the sea. Briny, salty mollusks and shellfish go well with so many wines. Chardonnay and lobster are classic partners and Sancerre and Chablis, crisp French wines made from Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, are the obvious choices for oysters. But there are alternatives. Take those little, lush Kumamoto and Olympia oysters from waters off Puget Sound, for example. Served naked and cold, fresh from the sea, they can pair perfectly with a sparkling wine. Stay in the Great Northwest and pour a “Michelle” Brut Rosé NV by Washington’s Domaine Ste. Michelle. Pinot Noir with a touch of Pinot Meunier, this

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

Ma y 2 8 - Jun e 3, 2015

wine is made using the traditional “méthode champenoise.” Light and clean, it offers just enough fruit and brightness to make your Kumamoto purr. Prefer the Atlantic for your oyster fix? Maybe some Wellfleets from the Cape or Malpecques from PEI? Again, you can’t go wrong with a Sancerre, but why not head to Spain for a flinty and dry Albariño. The Bodegas Martín Códax Albariño 2013 is affordable, crisp and bright. All good things. Serve this wine from the alwaysreliable importer, Eric Solomon, ice cold and you’ll taste a different side of the Atlantic. Magic from Galicia. Farm to table is the refrain of the summer dining season, but hitting just the right note with fresh salads and veggies can be a tough thing. Asparagus, for example, has long been considered one of the most difficult foods to pair with wines and even a green salad with a strong dressing can pose a challenge. But here come the Austrians to save the day. In recent years, the smart set has adopted Grüner Veltliner, a highly acidic, green grape that thrives along the banks of the Danube River, as the go-to for all things vegetal. The Domäne Wachau Terrassen Federspiel Grüner Veltliner 2013 has hints of lemon and white pepper on the palate and will not be overwhelmed by the herbaceous elements of your greens. It’s time to light a fire and flip a few burgers. For that we shall switch to a red wine from the southern climes, specifically McLaren Vale in South Eastern Australia. This is where Chester Osborn practices the “art of being different.” One of my favorite winemakers, Osborn produces a plethora of wines; I mean literally a plethora, but the most accessible and easy to find wines are from The Stump Jump series. Named not for an off road bike maneuver, but rather a plow that is used to clear the plains of the Vale, there are five whites (including a sweet dessert wine the

Aussies call a “Sticky”) and three reds. My fave for Tuesday night burgers is the 2011 Stump Jump GSM. A blend of Grenache/Shiraz/ Mourvèdre, it is filled with the flavor of blackberries and cherries, and both the start and finish are full. Fun and maybe the best bargain wine in any shop. On Saturdays, the grill gets lit yet again. And around my house, so does the grill master. Saturday usually means a slower pace, a lower heat, and a bit longer “hang-time” for the meats as they linger over the fire. Big meaty, beef ribs that can cook for an entire afternoon remind me of Argentina and the primal fires that sear the

meats. That brings Malbec to mind. The first lady of the Mendoza, Susana Balbo, makes Malbec at Domino del Plata that can range to over $100 a bottle. But to me, the bargain 2103 Ben Marco Malbec is a steal. Sustainably grown, hand picked and aged in French Oak, this is a wine that will take you to the foothills of the Andes. Five wines for less than $20 from five different countries. Time to have at it. Kelly J.

Fortunately, I do know someone who is the latter. Big and burly fruits and solid minerals, this old vine Zin captures the essence of the Rockpile appellation, which, as you can imagine, is littered with the ancient stones of Northern California’s turbulent geologic past. There will be more on Rockpile in the nearest future.

FEELING DUCKY?

GEODUCK FARMING TAKES OFF AS DEMAND FOR CLAMS GROWS IN ASIA JOHN KING PLUNGES HIS ARM up to his shoulder into the mudflats of Puget Sound, roots around and soon pulls from the muck the world’s largest burrowing clam. The mollusk squirts water from its long obscene-looking neck. King dodges the spray, already using a water hose to loosen sand and harvest the next one. Within hours, the geoduck (pronounced gooey duck) is packed live on ice at nearby Taylor Shellfish Farms — on its way to be served raw as sashimi or added to hot-pot dishes to satisfy a growing appetite for the unique Pacific Northwest delicacy. “It’s gained this luxury status. A big driver is the growing middle class in China,” said Gina Shamshak, an assistant economics professor at Goucher College, who has researched the geoduck market. She added: “They want to consume the higher-valued seafood items, and geoduck is one of them.” Last year, the U.S. exported $74 million, or about 11 million pounds, worth of live wild and farmed geoduck, mostly to China and Hong Kong. That’s double the volume and value exported in 2008. An average clam weighs about 2 pounds and can fetch up to $100 per pound overseas. Demand in Asia is prompting shellfish farmers to grow more of the clams along Washington’s private tidelands. Several new farms have been permitted in recent years, despite challenges from opponents concerned about plastic pollution, aesthetics and potential environmental harm. And now, backed by new research showing mostly short-lived, localized environmental effects, the state is preparing for the first time to lease 15 acres of public tidelands for geoduck aquaculture. The native geoduck, which comes from a Native American word meaning “dig deep,” has been dug recreationally in Northwest intertidal areas for decades, and it thrives in the inland waters of Washington, Alaska and British

Columbia. But commercial harvests of wild clams didn’t begin until 1970 in Washington, after divers discovered them aplenty in Puget Sound and lawmakers established a fishery. Commercial geoduck farming followed in the mid-1990s, really taking off in the last decade with modernized growing techniques. Today, geoduck aquaculture represents one-tenth of the global geoduck market, and Washington claims 90 percent of that share, according to Shamsak. “There are people interested in farming geoduck. There’s a demand for them. It’s lucrative,” said Laura Hoberecht, an aquaculture coordinator with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA is working with local and state agencies to make the shellfish permitting process more efficient without reducing the protections, she said. Raising these usual-looking clams isn’t for the impatient, however. Growing geoducks from seed to market takes five to seven years and plenty of gear. For Taylor Shellfish, the country’s largest farmed shellfish producer, it begins at its hatchery on the Hood Canal where wild geoducks are coaxed into spawning eggs and sperm in a water tank. Once fertilized, microscopic larvae are fed algae, which the company grows itself on site, for several weeks. Then it’s off to a floating seed nursery in south Puget Sound. Thousands of tiny clams are placed in cages and lowered below the water’s surface where they’ll grow there for another year or so until it’s time to be planted in the mudflats. The half dollar-sized clams are planted several inches deep and protected for the first year or two by a 6-inch diameter PVC tube or mesh pipe inserted into the mud with several inches exposed. The pipe is covered with plastic netting or canopies to keep away birds, fish and other predators.

A worker on a floating platform in the Totten Inlet near Shelton, Wash., holds a geoduck clam ready to be planted in a sand tube to finish growing to its one-to-two pound final weight.

“It’s relatively slow and steady. A big challenge has been getting these farms permitted,” said Bill Dewey, a spokesman for Taylor. One major roadblock has been opponents who have sued in court over concerns about potential environmental harm to salmon, eelgrass and other marine life. “There’s no limit on aquaculture. They want it all. At what point is there enough?” said Laura Hendricks, with Coalition to Protect Puget Sound Habitat. She worries the region’s tidelands are turning into industrial farms and questions the long-term, cumulative impacts of intensive farming where thousands of clams are planted with plastic gear and nets. Several studies by University of Washington researchers found mostly localized, transient effects from geoduck farming. “We didn’t see a lot of impacts of geoduck aquaculture in the studies we performed,” said P. Sean McDonald, a lecturer and research scientist at the University of Washington who co-authored several studies.

He said they found short-lived effects to some groups of animals in a few areas, mostly because nets and PVC tubes change the habitat dramatically, but the effects of harvest are mostly negligible and beaches appear to recover quickly afterward. He noted that some unanswered questions remain including what happens to areas farmed year after year. Dewey said Taylor and others have adjusted practices to respond to complaints, including trying out mesh nets instead of PVC pipes and switching to quieter pumps. Back at Taylor’s farm, workers race against the narrow window of extreme low tide one recent morning, scanning for little depressions in the sand, tell-tale signs of clams burrowed below. The harvesters are sunk up to their waists, working their hose to liquefy sand around the clam below and plopping them into orange crates. Within hours the geoducks will be air-shipped, headed to restaurants in California and banquets tables in China.

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

DRINK IT Limelight Sangria Flight $12 during happy hour (3-7 p.m.)

SANGRIA TRIO The Aspen weather of late has been brutal. But I refuse to let that stop me from believing summer will get here and the sun will shine on patios around town. In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy a taste of the season ahead at the Limelight. The hotel lounge’s new Sangria Flight screams summer — all three Sangrias are light and refreshing, with just enough kick to make you feel like it’s those lazy days of vacation we all dream of. My personal favorite is the Rosé Sangria, housemade with Rosé, raspberry, strawberry, peach, fresh lemon and orange juice, and No. 1 tequila. But I wouldn’t turn down a crisp glass of White Sangria (white wine, kiwi, strawberry, lime, agave, Bacardi rum) or Red Sangria (red wine, green apple, orange, lemon, fresh lime and orange juice, brandy, orange liqueur, Belvedere vodka). Now if only the sun would shine so I can truly savor the sipping. Libations was created by beloved Aspen Times publisher, Gunilla Asher, who died June 2, 2014 after a brave battle with cancer. Cheers - to Gunner!

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

Take advantage of the peace and quiet before it’s long gone.

MISS YOU ALREADY

OFFSEASON LUXURIES THAT ARE NEARLY OUT THE DOOR ANYONE WHO HAS LIVED IN THIS TOWN long enough understands the beauty of the offseason. It’s true that some of our favorite restaurants aren’t open and the ones that are often have strange schedules. Friends leave town for sometimes months at a time. And, despite our best efforts, we start to feel irrelevant. Our home goes from BARBARA being top on the PLATTS vacation destination list to being a distant memory or a far-off future plan. Despite these woes, we are all appreciative of a break. We get an opportunity to decompress, refill the wallet (or empty it on vacation) and park wherever the hell we want. So, in honor of offseason, let us take advantage of the few luxuries that are about to leave.

P H OTO B Y BA R BA R A P L AT T S

1) Strike up a conversation with Jimmy Yeager at the bar at Jimmy’s. Choose a topic like how he discovered, and started serving, Monkey 47 gin or any of his other rare elixirs. Once the crowds come back, you may get a second or two to say hello, but he will be plenty busy with customers. Now is the time for inquiring minds to dive into his spirit-related knowledge. 2) There’s nothing worse than craving a Peach’s breakfast dish and not even being able to get into the café because the line is out the door. At the moment, this caffeine oasis actually looks slightly lonely. The line only reaches a couple inches past the pastry display. So get in while you still can. 3) We all love a nice offseason deal. Even though we tend to get so excited about the discount that we drink, or eat, twice as much as we would typically. But the point is, we love cheaper fare. A place

that understands this is Mezzaluna. Though most of their offseason deals have ended at this point, they still offer 25 percent off bottles of wine. And Rustique, another offseason favorite, is still doing their prix fixe menus, with two courses for $34. 4) One of the most frustrating things about crowds is that they bring with them a lot of vehicles. It’s nearly impossible to find any kind of parking from June to September and then again from December to April. While you still can, take your car downtown for lunch or dinner. You’ll feel like a rock star parking right in front of the restaurant and walking in like you own the place. Which, in offseason, it appears like you do because no one else is in there. 5) Get a jumpstart on getting in shape for the summer by hiking up the Ute Trail. The snow is now melted, but there still aren’t

those crazy athletes sprinting up the damn thing as if someone is chasing them. Now, with very few people on the trail, you can feel like that super athlete, because there’s no one to compare yourself with. It’s a nice way to boost your confidence before the summer begins. Summer has almost arrived and I know we are all excited for the parties, festivals, concerts, water sports, etc. But take in the last bit of tranquility before the craziness begins. After all, we won’t have the opportunity to do so again until October. After finishing this column, Barbara Platts headed to Las Vegas for the weekend to have one last break before nuzzling in for the summer.

MAKING THE MATCH

of COLLEGE A LOOK AT THE CHANGING WORLD OF COLLEGE COUNSELING by BOB WARD for ASPEN JOURNALISM

KATHY KLUG LIKES TO SAY “COLLEGE IS A MATCH TO BE MADE, NOT A PRIZE TO BE WON.”

Those words have become something of a mantra among forward-thinking college counselors. To Klug, who leads the college counseling office at Aspen High School, the phrase means that choosing a post-secondary path is more about finding the right fit for the student and the student’s family than the credentials or prestige of the school.

Budsey is headed for Skidmore College in upstate New York, and AHS Head Girl Magana will attend the University of Colorado, Boulder. BELOW: Basalt High School senior Joel Suarez is headed for University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, where he plans to double-major in music education and earth science; Suarez ended up choosing a public university in Colorado, but College Counselor Elizabeth Penzel pushed him to apply to small, East-Coast private schools as well, just so he knew all of his options.

There is a school out there for virtually every kid, but that match won’t happen if the kid and his/ her parents covet the most selective institution with the finest reputation. Instead, the process must include many variables. The academic program is important, and so is the probability that a student will be admitted. Also crucial are the school’s size and location, the institutional culture and the cost. To approach this task consciously, a college-bound senior must ask some probing questions: “Who am I? What do I love to do? Where do I belong?” And once they’ve understood their own aims, they must consider the available options, the financial picture and all the other nuances of this difficult choice. Aspen High School senior Gaby Magana applied to 11 schools, 10 of them out-of-state, but ended up at the University of Colorado, Boulder with the help of three scholarships from the Thrift Shop, the Elks and the Buddy Program. Along the way, she learned a lot about the costs of a college education, and the importance of family. “I saw myself on the East Coast, but realistically I love Colorado,” said Magana, AHS’s 2015 head girl. “I’ve grown up here so I wanted to stay four hours away.” Magana’s classmate Caroline DeRosa, on the other hand, comes from a diehard Georgetown University family. For years she

dreamed of going to Georgetown, located in the nation’s capital. In the fall, she applied to just three schools and guess which one she eventually chose: Georgetown. DeRosa started and finished with one institution, but Klug and her staff insisted all along that DeRosa test her assumptions and explore other options. “They wanted me to have other schools,” DeRosa said, “just in case.” Klug, who leads the college counseling office at Aspen High, is proud of both girls, who made conscious, informed choices about their post-secondary lives. The girls worked with their college counselors and their parents to find the best possible fit. This was no accident, but the product of a college-counseling program that’s been 12 years in the making. “Kids need to arrive at a pretty self-actualized state before they make a decision on where they’re going to spend the next four years of their lives becoming who they want to become,” Klug says. “They’re not just going to college and letting college happen to them, but taking an active decisionmaking role.” As the Class of 2015 prepares to move on to the next step — for some it’s a four-year college, for others it’s a so-called “gap year” or perhaps the military — the Aspen Times Weekly decided to take a look at the world of college and career counseling.

this age, when a college education is seen as a necessity to thrive in a competitive global economy, college counseling has evolved to reflect the tough competition for admission, the high cost of a good education and the enormous variety of post-secondary options. Here’s a glimpse into this changing field, and how local students are benefiting.

DEDICATING A COUNSELOR TO COLLEGE AND CAREER Basalt High School has always had college counseling, but before

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

the last three years it was much less individualized, much less specialized. In Basalt, as in most Colorado high schools, the school counselor traditionally provided three important services: social-emotional advice, high-school academic guidance, and college/career counseling. In a high school of several hundred students, a counselor who provides all three services doesn’t have time to develop relationships with individual students, let alone guide seniors in a thoughtful, post-secondary “match-

Ma y 2 8 - Jun e 3, 2015

making” process. At Aspen High, it required grants from the Aspen Education Foundation and the Aspen Community Foundation to gradually build a college-counseling office that now has three full-time employees: Klug, counselor Melissa Lustig and administrative assistant Terry Rigney. “In a public high school, you will always need to have the community buy-in or a foundation to support this level of service,” Klug said, noting Colorado’s chronically tight publicschool funding.

To date, funding for Elizabeth Penzel, Basalt High’s college counselor, has been granted by the Community Foundation, which aims to place a dedicated college advisor in each public high school from Aspen to Parachute. The Foundation provides seed money with the expectation that, over five years, the districts will gradually shoulder the funding burden. The driving rationale is to create a “college-going culture” at every high school; each school will have its own site-specific approach. Basalt’s Penzel believes wholeheartedly in the “college-going” mission, but prefers the title “college and career counselor,” which better reflects Basalt’s diverse, majorityLatino student body. While 55 percent of BHS 2015 graduates will attend four-year colleges, nearly a third (30 percent) plan to attend two-year institutions and 12 percent are going straight into the workforce. Penzel doesn’t expect every BHS graduate to attend college, but she aims to expose every student to the array of options so that, whatever their choice, they make a conscious decision on their own post-secondary plan. “For me, any kind of postsecondary education is worthy,” Penzel said. “College might be an immediate thing or it might be three or four years in your future. It’s all the same — how long are you going to take to get to your goal? I’ll help map that out for you.” And Penzel’s seniors are wellinformed consumers. BHS senior Joel Suarez will be the first in his family to attend college. He got into the University of Colorado, Colorado State and Colorado School of Mines, among others, and was wait-listed at Duke University. In the end, however, he chose the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley and plans to double-major in music education and earth science. Suarez’s decision came down to two things: the financial package offered by UNC, and his passion for teaching. “The scholarships I got pretty much paid for my first year. It’s cheaper, and not too far from home,” said Suarez, the only son of a single mom. “A lot of people pushed me to do engineering or (to be a) doctor, those big, highpaying jobs, but I decided to be a teacher instead.” Oswaldo Sosa, another BHS senior,

BY THE NUMBERS ASPEN HIGH SCHOOL Students: 562 2014 graduation rate: 94.6 percent (three-year average) 2015 college admission rate*: 100 percent (4-year, 91 percent; 2-year, 9 percent) BASALT HIGH SCHOOL Students: 385 2014 graduation rate: 82.8 percent (three-year average) 2015 college admission rate*: 85 percent (4-year 64 percent, 2-year 36 percent) * College admission denotes students who were admitted to at least one college. It doesn’t mean the students necessarily enrolled.

applied to a whopping 14 schools — far more than Penzel recommends — and got into 13 of them. His decision came down to three schools: Harvey Mudd College in California, neighboring Claremont McKenna College and Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. “The deciding factor for me was going to be which one of the schools gave me the most money,” Sosa recalled. “But when I got my financial aid packages from all three, it was a similar amount of money. So it came down to actually visiting and seeing what I thought of the campuses.” He chose Harvey Mudd, a small college of roughly 800 students, because of its engineering specialty, but also because the small size offered him a close-knit community. He especially liked the fact that, reportedly, a lot of Harvey Mudd students ride unicycles.

GETTING READY FOR SENIOR YEAR A college counselor doesn’t create these kinds of informed consumers in 12th grade alone. Though both Suarez and Sosa from BHS are first-generation college kids, as is Aspen’s Gaby Magana, they all received coaching prior to senior year that helped put them on a college-bound path. In Aspen, for example, Kathy Klug and her staff are included in the freshman seminar classes to introduce first-year students to the process that awaits them. Every year, the College Counseling Office also holds two “Freshman/Sophomore & Parent Evening Meetings” to get students and their families thinking ahead to the college application process. There’s also the Western Slope College Fair, started by Klug’s office and held every October in Aspen,

where more than 200 colleges and universities send representatives to meet students from Western Colorado. In the Roaring Fork School District, the Pre-Collegiate Program provides academic support and enrichment to students who are the first in their family to attend college. In their junior year, all AHS students take College & Career Discovery, a class that prepares students for the college and career process. Discovery has many elements, but highlights include preparation for the ACT test, creating a working resume, writing college essays and actually researching schools. Magana described the benefits of Discovery this way: “This fall came around and we were ready.” Beginning next year, Basalt High will offer a Discovery class for the first time. Penzel agrees that a Discovery-type class is the best way to put all students on a college- and

career-oriented path. Regardless of where each kid eventually decides to go — four-year university, junior college, military or the workforce — Discovery gets them thinking beyond high school, forces them to catalog their academic and extracurricular experiences, and helps them develop their “story” for future talks with admissions officers or employers. In the end, choosing a college is really a journey in self-discovery, as well as many kids’ first plunge into the adult world. Better to think of it as a process, and not just a decision. “My philosophy is I want an academic fit, I want a socialemotional fit and I want a financial fit,” Penzel said. “Balancing those three things is a lot of the art of it. “ Aspen Journalism and The Aspen Times are collaborating on education coverage.

DUDE! WHERE’S MY HORSE?

COLORADO DUDE AND GUEST RANCHES HELP YOUR FAMILY DIG DEEP INTO THE WESTERN WAY OF LIFE BY NOW YOU MAY BE PLANNING your summer family getaway — and one might think that by living in the mountains we would automatically spend quality time with the kids outdoors, right? Well, sometimes it takes getting into a new place to explore, reboot the family dynamic and reconnect with the great outdoors around us. AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY To do this, you can still stick close to home and plan a summer trip to one of Colorado’s dude and guest ranches. There are 26 certified ranches in Colorado that offer riding, river rafting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, star gazing, guided horseback rides, llama pack trips and old fashioned chuckwagon cookouts. ■ At the Laramie River Ranch in Glendevey —in north-central Colorado, a few miles from the Wyoming border — you can take a long horseback ride and follow

it up with a tube down the Laramie river. Guests are dropped off a mile upriver and they float back to the lodge. If the water is cold, the hot tub is just a few feet away from the takeout so you can follow your swim with a hot soak. www. lrranch.com ■ At Lagito Ranch in Kremmling near Steamboat, learn about horesemanship and nature. Known for their outstanding education programs, Latigo Ranch offers a number of ways to learn about the horses, local flora and fauna, and more. www. latigotrails.com ■ Here’s something that I have to see: at Lost Valley Ranch in Sedalia, two hours southwest of Denver, the staff presents and Old Time Melodrama followed by, yes, their famous ice cream social.

ARTS EXCURSIONS This fall, Anderson Ranch Arts Center will host two workshops in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, to coincide with the three-day Día de los Muertos holiday (Halloween, Día los Niños and All Souls’ Day), Oct. 30-Nov. 6, 2015. Both workshops will visit nearby small communities to experience the authentic Día de los Muertos traditions from an intimate perspective, including preparation of altars in homes and cemeteries. A day trip to the famous colonial city and mining town of Guanajuato, as well as the pre-Hispanic settlement of Cañada de la Virgen pyramid and archaeological zone, also dot the itinerary. For aspiring and established photographers, Ed Kashi (photojournalist, filmmaker and educator) and Andrea Wallace (Artistic Director of Photography and New Media at Anderson Ranch) will teach a workshop focused on how to create a personal documentary project. Whether a series of street portraits or an exploration of local cuisine and architecture, participants will be encouraged to discover a subject that speaks to a personal passion and document it in a compelling and unique visual style. For ceramic artists, Holly Hughes (Professor of Painting and Drawing at Rhode Island School of Design) and Doug Casebeer (Associate Director and Artistic Director of Ceramics at Anderson Ranch) will delve into decorating tiles and plates, using Mexican culture and history as starting points. Tuition is $2,050 and includes all field excursions, welcome and farewell dinners, instruction and studio supplies. Airfare is not included. More information and registration details are available at andersonranch.org/ workshops or by calling Anderson Ranch at (970) 923-3181x215.

Horseback riding and archery are among the family-friendly activites at Smith Fork Ranch in Crawford, Colorado.

by ANDREW TRAVERS

SEEING ASPEN IN ‘AMERICA IS HARD TO SEE’ AT THE NEW WHITNEY ON A RECENT VISIT TO the new Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, I expected to be impressed and surprised by the 600 works in the vaunted institution’s monumental opening show. I expected to be wowed by its $422 million new home in the Meatpacking District. And I expected a touristy afternoon walk on the adjacent High Line. What I did not expect was a reenforced appreciation for the Aspen arts scene (as this was technically a vacation, I was actually kind of aiming to avoid the Aspen arts scene). Yet, making my way down the museum’s eight floors through its inaugural exhibition — “America is Hard to See” — I found myself whispering to my wife about the time this artist was in town at Anderson Ranch, the show that one did at the Aspen Art Museum, and sharing stories from Aspen lore about iconic artists retreating to the resort to make new work. The show moves mostly chronologically through 20th- and 21st-century American art, from top to bottom — with digressions large and small through the fractious movements and moments of American art. In the period beginning after World War II, you start to see a lot of Aspen connections in “America is Hard to See.” A section on abstract expressionism is titled “White Target,” for a Jasper Johns piece of the same name, which made me grateful for John G. Powers bringing Johns and his work to the Aspen Center for Contemporary Art (the “Museum Without Walls”) in the 1960s and for the Johns collection just down the road at the Powers Arts Center in Carbondale. Nearby, Frank Stella — who will speak at the Hotel Jerome in July when he receives Anderson Ranch’s National Artist Award — has a black enamel painting on canvas, “Die Fahne Hooch.” Steps away is Agnes Martin’s “This Rain, 1958,” which reminded me of the selected survey of her work at the Aspen Art Museum that just closed in March. Walking through the section of the Whitney on pop art, there’s work

by greats like Andy Warhol (who guest-edited Aspen: The Magazine in the box in the 1960s and turned his camera lens on Aspen in the early 1980s) and Roy Lichtenstein (who once painted the interior of the Brand Building in his signature faux comic strip style) and Ed Ruscha (who showed work early on here through Powers and who, in 2008, was the recipient of the Aspen Award for Art at the Aspen Art Museum’s Art Crush). A bracing chapter on politically charged art of the 1960s and one called “Rational Irrationalism” on minimalism includes works by avantgarde stalwarts of the day who came to Aspen to show their work back then: Claes Oldenburg, Donald Judd and Cy Twombly (whose untitled oil on crayon reminded me of his piece included currently in the Aspen Art Museum group show, “The Blue of Distance.”) Making my way down to street level on the museum’s outdoor staircases, I was surprised by how many of today’s artists included in the Whitney’s opening show have also left their fingerprints on Aspen. Photographer Catherine Opie, who spoke last summer at Anderson Ranch and also has a series of landscape photos in “The Blue of Distance,” offers “Self-Portrait/ Cutting,” an emotionally charged shot of her back with stick figures carved into it. On the same wall, Lorna Simpson, who lived and worked in Aspen during summer 2013 through an Aspen Art Museum residency, also offers

a self-portrait with her back turned to the camera. David Hammons, whose joint show with Yves Klein opened the Aspen Art Museum last summer, has a sculpture made from human hair nearby. Lutz Bacher, whose phallic gourds filled the museum’s sculpture garden this winter, has a playful drawing of a Playboy model. And Ryan Trecartin, the young video artist who will speak at Anderson Ranch July 23, has his absurd carnival of domestic life “A Family Finds Entertainment” included. Herbert Bayer, the artist with the biggest imprint on post-war Aspen, whose design still defines the Aspen Institute, doesn’t have anything in the opening show. The Whitney does own one of his works, an oil painting on linen from 1955 titled “Heated Calm,” in its 21,000-piece permanent collection, but it didn’t make the cut for “America is Hard to See.” Likewise, iconic Aspen photographer Ferenc Berko didn’t make it into the show,

though the Whitney owns three of his pieces. Of course, like much of the American art world, this is undoubtedly a New York-centric show. And maybe people walking through “America is Hard to See” from all over the U.S. will see glimpses of their hometowns in the works at the new Whitney. But it’s hard to imagine those from many towns with a population topping out at 7,000 will see as much of home here as an Aspenite.

BOOK REVIEW

‘THE ENLISTED MEN’S CLUB’ DENVER NOVELIST GARY REILLY steps out of his taxi and leaves the familiar terrain of his popular “Asphalt Warrior” series in his newest novel, “The Enlisted Men’s Club,” in which he tackles a young military policeman’s ennui in the Vietnam era. Reilly, who died in 2011 with only a single short story published during his lifetime, left behind a trunk filled with of 25 polished novels and bequeathed them to Denver Post editorial cartoonist Mike Keefe and reporter-turned-novelist Mark Stevens. The pair established Running Meter Press to bring Reilly’s books to readers, beginning with his “Asphalt Warrior” series. The comic novels — apparently there are 11 in all, five have been published to date, and two were finalists for the Colorado Book Award — all featured the semi-

NOTEWORTHY

autobiographical Denver cab driver Brendan “Murph” Murphy. The books, filled with wry humor, earned Reilly a posthumous cult following in Colorado and beyond. But Reilly’s trove of novels spanned beyond humor, and is said to also include mystery and science fiction, along with more sober-minded literature such as this latest Reilly release. Like the “Asphalt Warrior” books, it’s based on Reilly’s own experience. The book — the first in a trilogy — follows Private Palmer during his early days in the U.S. Army, preparing for deployment to Vietnam while stationed in San Francisco. There’s a sense of doom hanging over Palmer and his time at The Presidio, preparing to serve in a war he doesn’t support and that he’s convinced will kill him. He clashes with his superiors. He craves the life

of a “mindless puppet,” following orders and hiding among the rank and file. He sneaks of base to party with Bay Area hippies. And though Palmer senses a reckoning coming overseas, he’s bored by it all. The unfortunate thing about this book is that while Palmer is awaiting orders with little to do but fight, think and drink beer, the reader, too, is left waiting. Writing an engaging novel about boredom is one of the hardest tricks in the book, and Reilly — despite his extraordinary descriptive powers — doesn’t pull it off in this contemplative character study.
