POPULAR MUSIC SINGER-SONGWRITER
Langhorne Slim takes over Belly Up on Thursday, June 2 with his band The Law. The Americana outfit has been an it-band on the festival circuit in recent years, consistently landing on the best-of-the-fest reviews out of festivals like Bonnaroo and winning over audiences night after night with club gigs between the big outdoor happenings. The band is currently on the road behind last year’s album, “The Spirit Moves” — Slim’s second with The Law and seventh overall — which manages to capture the heralded charisma of the live show in studio sessions. The record showcases the band’s versatile mix of downbeat ballads and harder charging rockabilly tracks. The introspective record shows Slim maturing as a songwriter and opening up a bit, penning songs built for live performance that solidify his place as a buzzworthy Americana road act. “By opening myself, I’m vulnerable and I’m fearful, but I start to get real,” he says of writing the songs on “The Spirit Moves. “And in that realness, there is immense strength that I wish for everybody. Maybe everybody’s scared to be a freak. But when you live as a freak it’s so much more fulfilling.” The show is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. with Kid Reverie opening. Tickets are $15 and available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen.com.
Langhorne Slim and the Law will perform on Thursday at Belly Up Aspen.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
with JOHN COLSON
Trumpism, Fascism and our lean to the right FASCISM. Ugly word, bad vibe, eh? But that’s the word that currently is being bandied about the blogosphere and even in the staid pages of the New York Times, in relation to everybody’s least favorite presidential candidate, Donald Trump. They’re not calling him a fascist, directly — most of them aren’t, anyway. Naturally, there are a few writers for whom Trump’s candidacy has loosed the dogs of war in a literary sense, setting up a free-for-all in political name-calling. One is David Benjamin, the brother of a (late and lamented) childhood friend of mine who currently splits his time between Madison, Wisc., and Paris, France; a publisher of a couple of books; and a blogger whose “Weekly Screed” columns are a hoot to read. Anyway, in his most recent Screed, he decided to take off the “p.c.” gloves and go at The Donald on The Donald’s home turf — insulting verbiage being the main mode of communication. Benjamin wonders (as have I) why it is that none of Trump’s political adversaries in the quadrennial circus known as the presidential
HIT&RUN
race have gone at Trump on his own terms. When Trump bashes his female opponents by insulting their looks, their sexuality, their bodily functions, why does he get a pass from being on the receiving end of similar taunts and jibes? David, bless his pointy blog, gleefully points to a few such vulnerabilities that Trump prefers to be considered off-limits. His “hair,” for instance — although I hesitate to call that pile of obviously synthetic stuff on top of his head, hair. I mean, it’s obviously a construction project of some kind, clearly pouffed sculpted from front to back, and it sure seems to look like the mother of all toupés. Can it be that, underneath all those fibers of dubious origin, the guy is really as bald as an egg? Or, as David put it, is Trump actually “a cueball with fringe?” Anyway, I digress from my original thoughts about fascism, just long enough to invite you to check out David’s Weekly Screed (#768) of May 29. Back on track, I note that my Concise Columbia Encyclopedia, a handy deskreference I’ve used since college, defines fascism as including “opposition to democratic and socialist movements; racist ideologies; aggressive military policy; and
Lovely. Landscaped. Landmark.
belief in an authoritarian leader.” I don’t know about you, but that seems to me to fit Trump’s verbal ejaculations and general comportment to a “T.” As noted, the “fascist” label has been loosely tethered to the Trump phenomenon by a variety of commentators, and just as loosely rejected by some Trumpeteers. Take that tired old warhorse of the neocon world, Newt Gingrich, the man who engineered the “Contract On America” … er, I mean the “Contract With America” that was the opening shot of resurgent right-wing activism in the early 1990s. Recently he responded to the growing chorus of “Trumpism = Facism” by pointing out that Trump’s candidacy has none of the trappings of, say, Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s (I have to point out that Gingrich has let it be known that he wouldn’t turn down the job of being Trump’s veep, if asked). Trump has no brownshirted young thugs roaming the streets of big cities, smashing homes and businesses of Jews, Gingrich hollered (though Trump does have a bunch of hyped-up bikers making up part of his security detail at rallies — think Hell’s Angels, Altamont, the Rolling Stones, 1969). Trump does not have the “political structure” that Hitler put together, Gingrich continued, nor does he have the “ideology”
4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 5,355 sq ft
that came frothing out of the mouths of the Hitler youth. Maybe not. Even someone as densely ignorant of historical currents as Donald Trump would recognize that taking on any of these organizational attributes would mean instant political death even in these desensitized, undereducated times. But Gingrich once again has missed the forest for the trees. By retreating into his pose as a historical expert, and heatedly protesting that Trumpism is nothing like Nazism in its details, Gingrich overlooks the fact that Trump’s statements and immigration “policies” are a lot like what Hitler and his cronies were saying during the 1930s. Which, of course, was Gingrich’s intent. As long as he can keep everyone fixated on minutiae, he hopes we’ll miss the truth of the matter, which is that Trump’s candidacy has opened up a Pandora’s box of self-serving, violent, intolerant thinking in this country. Do I believe we’re headed down the road to conversion to a fascist state? Not really. But I have been wrong before, and I could be again. And we have the ingredients for the rise of fascism bubbling away in our national cauldron right now — economic decline, social unrest, racist scapegoating on a national scale, and a growing conviction among the undereducated that anyone who isn’t white is out to get those who are white.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES
FROM the VAULT
by TIM WILLOUGHBY
This shovel recovered silver from Smuggler Mine dumps in 1937 and reclaimed zinc and lead from the same source during World War II.
TOUGH TIMES The Depression was brutal, especially in Colorado. Aspen,
aided by the New Deal, fared better than much of the state. Silver and spuds spurred Aspen’s 1930s economy. Both were beneficiaries of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Before Roosevelt was elected president, silver had dropped below $4 an ounce (all monetary figures in this column reflect 2013 values). Roosevelt believed inflation, especially in the price of commodities, would stimulate the economy. He made western mines profitable overnight when he unilaterally raised the price of silver to $10.76 per ounce. Later Roosevelt got Congress to codify that price increase through a compromise bill. The act simultaneously addressed miners’ interests and the needs of farmers to increase crop prices. Silver reached almost $12 an ounce, and Roosevelt forged bilateral agreements with Mexico, China, and Canada to stabilize the world price. Aspen’s potato growers received relief as well. One hundred pounds of potatoes brought in only $5.83 in 1933, a year when Pitkin County farmers produced 38,000 100-pound sacks. There was a glut on the state and national markets.

ASPEN’S POTATO GROWERS RECEIVED RELIEF AS WELL. ONE HUNDRED POUNDS OF POTATOES BROUGHT IN ONLY $5.83 IN 1933, A YEAR WHEN PITKIN COUNTY FARMERS PRODUCED 38,000 100-POUND SACKS. THERE WAS A GLUT ON THE STATE AND NATIONAL MARKETS. THE AGRICULTURAL ADJUSTMENT ACT ADMINISTRATION ORGANIZED COLORADO FARMERS AND GOT THEM TO AGREE TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF POTATOES THEY SOLD. IT WAS A SIMPLE SYSTEM. FARMERS SOLD LOWER-QUALITY SPUDS OR FED THEM TO LIVESTOCK. THESE ACTIONS REMOVED TONS OF POTATOES FROM ANNUAL SALES. The Agricultural Adjustment Act Administration organized Colorado farmers and got them to agree to limit the number of potatoes they sold. It was a simple system. Farmers sold lower-quality spuds or fed them to livestock. These actions removed tons of potatoes from annual sales.
Jun e 2 - Jun e 8 , 2016
The federal government paid, depending on the year, between $2.30 and $3.78 per 100 pounds for those lower quality potatoes. This payment brought about an increase in the market price for the balance of the potato crop. In 1938, 50 Pitkin County farmers received federal payments
that totaled $41,500. Although this was not a fortune, it counted as vital Depression income. The year 1938 was not a kind one for Aspen’s miners. The government dropped the silver price back to 1933’s level, $10.80 an ounce. In 1937, The Metals Recovery Company of Nebraska opened a 350-ton-per-day mill on Hunter Creek. It hauled and processed marginal dump material, mostly from the area on lower Smuggler Mountain near the Cowenhoven Tunnel. It also milled ore from small mines that still operated in the area. The drop in silver price crossed the thin line between profit and bankruptcy. The mill closed in January. Operators sustained hope they would reopen in the spring, when it would be cheaper to move mine dump material. But the price remained depressed and the mill did not reopen. Those of us who grew up in the 1950s used to play on the major asset of the closed company, a steam shovel. Eventually the county auctioned off that jungle gym to pay creditors. Inflation sounds like a bad word these days. But artificially inflated mineral and potato prices saved the county from economic collapse. 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.

1979 W I N T E R PA R K
“A PAIR OF HANDICAPPED SKIERS REPRESENTED ASPEN AT LAST WEEK’S HANDICAP NATIONALS IN WINTER PARK,” reported The Aspen Times on March 22, 1979. The two local skiers were “Jean Eymere, who won the slalom in the senior men’s B totally blind category, and David Hayes, who won the giant slalom in the men’s class C two-track category. The Handicap Nationals occupied the entire week and brought together handicapped skiers from around the country, some of whom executed feats on skis that were nothing short of remarkable considering their disabilities. The events were marked by aggressive competition among skiers who were variously sightless, limbless or otherwise handicapped, and who were seeking berths on the US team that will travel to next year’s Handicapped Olympics in Oslo, Norway.” The photo above shows Jean Eymere, an Aspen Highlands ski instructor, who pioneered the Blind Outdoor Leisure Development (BOLD) program. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK
by STEPHEN REGENOLD
RIDE ON: HIGH-QUALITY KID BIKES AS A FATHER OF FOUR YOUNG KIDS, ages 3 to 11, and with varying levels of interest (and willingness) around the activity of bicycling, my garage is a mess of wheels, seats, frames, and accouterments to appease a mini-peloton. We have cheap bikes and good bikes. Some are rusty, some we keep clean, wiping off the paint after each ride. The bikes in this article, all mid- to high-end options, have come out as the kids’ current favorites this spring.
wheels, singlespeed gearing at a 32×20 ratio, and front and rear hand brakes. Stand-out features include a “race-style” vegan leather saddle and internal cable routing to keep the frame clean. While pricey, the design is clean, the bike functioned great for my kids, and Cleary gives a lifetime warranty. ($345)
BALANCE BIKE: YUBA FLIP FLOP
Long rides with hills are no problem with this 8-speed bike. My fourth-grader loved the upgrade from his old, non-geared bike: With the Beinn’s 24-inch wheels rolling fast he can go twice as far on rides with mom. The company built the bike to be versatile, from pavement to dirt trails. As a hybrid, the 19-pound Beinn has worked well serving as a transition from my son’s “little kid” bike to something he can pedal fast and far. ($550)
Among multiple push-bike options, my littlest one loves this Yuba the most. Its swooping frame and straight handlebars offer performance and fit as he crushes out sidewalk miles. After about a year of hard use, and with zero maintenance and much abuse, the bike shows few signs of wear. The foam-filled tires cannot pop. A bonus: The lightweight aluminum frame “flips” over to transition the bike to a taller ride as your grom grows. ($120)
BELT-DRIVE BIKE: PRIORITY START FW A grease-free belt drive instead of a chain makes the Start bike stand out. With a standover height of 16 inches, it’s made for kids up to about 7 years old. Single-speed gearing offers simplicity, while the hand brakes teach “big kid bike” skill and control. The company touts a rust-proof aluminum frame, meaning your kid can stash it under a tree in the yard. My boys use this bike as all-around neighborhood transportation and for occasional BMX-like stunts. Caveat: The Start’s gearing is too low for serious bike rides with mom and dad. ($249)
SINGLESPEED RACER: PELLO REVO 16 New this spring, and with a tagline of “the ultimate kids bike,” Pello offers high quality with its higher price. There’s a lifetime warranty on the frame and fork and a two-year warranty on parts. The company touts a better geometry and an overall superior build. The 17-inch bike is a singlespeed model for kids ages 4 to about 8. I like the name-brand components, from the headset to the brakes. The 16-inch wheels are from Kenda, and they come with prestavalve tubes, a nod that serious cyclists, kid or grownup, will appreciate. ($299)
DO-ALL KID BIKE: CLEARY OWL 20” Made for boys and girls with an inseam of 20 to 26 inches, the Owl is sold as suitable for riding “on the half-pipe, on trails, and on the way to school.” The do-all design comes with 20-inch

GEARED BIKE: ISLABIKES BEINN 24
FIXIE: STATE BICYCLE CO. BEL AIRE 2.0 Fixed-gear bikes have attained mainstream acceptance, including with teens (and younger) who seek a streamlined, urban-aesthetic ride. My 11-year-old daughter loves her State Bel Aire, a cream-color city bike that rolls as a fixie or freewheel singlespeed. The bike comes in frame sizes from 46-59cm, making this model rideable for kids about 4-foot-10 in height to full adult. But the one-size-fits-all approach is not perfect. The gearing is high for kids, especially if there are any hills. Also, I replaced the stock bike seat with a smaller saddle that better fit my girl. ($449)
MTB: SPECIALIZED RIPROCK EXPERT 24 On rocky trails and rough terrain, my kids aren’t yet quite high-performance enough for this crusher of a mini mountain bike. But the 10-speed Riprock, with its fatter, 2.8-inch-wide tires, has been as fun as it’s been aspirational for my burgeoning singletrack-seekers. Essentially an adult mtb shrunken down, the Riprock has 24-inch wheels and a swooping geometry that gives a low stand-over height, allowing a child to grow into the frame over a few years. The fork, with 70mm travel, the hydraulic disc brakes, and quality components from the headset on down, inspire confidence and give the kids a taste of how a bike should perform on singletrack and all-mountain terrain. ($1,000) Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

ASPEN UNTUCKED
by BARBARA PLATTS
Crowds at the dancing fountain in downtown Aspen is a sure sign of summer — one of the best times of year in our resort playground.
SUMMER EXPECTATIONS
REASONS TO BE EXCITED FOR THE UPCOMING SEASON WE’VE ALL HEARD THE SAYING: We come for the winters but we stay for the summers. Although each day and night spent in Aspen is worth being thankful for, there’s something about those summer days and summer nights that seal the deal for visitors and first-time residents. Activities in the summertime BARBARA PLATTS are endless. However, there are a few notables themes that are worth putting on your radar immediately because, just like all good things, summer comes and goes far too fast.
ANYTHING SNOWMASS VILLAGE Snowmass seems to be getting cooler by the summer. With Snowmass Tourism’s focus on events, there’s something happening there at least once a week. The Thursday night free
ASPEN TIMES FILE PHOTO
concert series is always a hit. Other highlights include Heritage Fire (June 16) and Grand Cochon (June 18). Plus, the new Late Nite Asian Speakeasy event (June 17), which will be full of Chinese, Sichuan, Korean, Thai and Japanese cuisine. These events happen over Food & Wine and impressively compete with many of the mainstream events. Other happenings include Wanderlust (June 30-July 3), the Zoppé Italian Family Circus (Aug. 19-21), the Tough Mudder (Sept. 10-11) and much more.
AQUATIC OPPORTUNITIES Just because we live in the mountains doesn’t mean we should be deprived of water sports. There are plenty of springs, lakes and rivers to enjoy in the warmer months. For relaxation purposes, try one of the natural hot springs in Glenwood Springs or up the Crystal River Valley at Avalanche Hot Springs. For a recreational
experience, Reudi Reservoir is always a solid option. It’s a great place to paddleboard, take the boat out or swim. If you’re looking for water sports that cause a spike in adrenaline, check out the Slaughterhouse Falls route on the Roaring Fork River. Local rafting companies have trips down the tall waterfall most days of the week and it rarely disappoints as far as thrills are concerned.
MUSICAL MUSINGS Live music abounds year round in Aspen, but in the summer the opportunities increase immensely. The ideal way to spend a Sunday afternoon is on the lawn outside the Benedict Music Tent, listening to classical tunes. Bring a nice picnic blanket, snacks and your current read to enjoy. Jazz Aspen Snowmass (JAS) has its summer series in three locations this year: JAS Café at The Little Nell, the rooftop at the Aspen Art Museum and
the Cooking School of Aspen. Concerts at the museum and cooking school include a full dinner. Also, keep an eye on shows at the Belly Up and the Wheeler Opera House, which is home to several of the Aspen Music Festival and School’s shows in the summer. These are just a sampling of things to look forward to in the coming months. Keep an eye on community calendars online and in print because there will always be something new happening. And keep reading my column because, most likely, I’ll be writing about little else besides summer until early fall. Until next week…
Barbara Platts is obsessed with Aspen in the summer. She apologizes in advance for her possible bias coverage of this season. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

WINEINK
THE JUDGMENT OF PARIS
THE MOST IMPORTANT WINE COLUMN IN AMERICAN HISTORY OK, SO I KNOW that I have been a bit heavy on the historical side of wine these past couple of months, but the 40th anniversary of what may well be the most important piece of wine writing in American history takes place this week and I simply cannot let it pass without paying homage. So open up a Stag’s Leap Cabernet or a bottle of KELLY J. Chateau Montelena HAYES Chardonnay, put on some jazz, preferably Michel Legrand, and get ready for a little story from the American Bicentennial year of 1976.
THE TASTING Say the name Steve Spurrier and most Americans instantly think of the ol’ ball coach and former Heisman Trophy winner (Florida 1966). Ah, but in the world of wine the name Steven Spurrier conjures the face of the erudite and engaging British wine aficionado who has spent his entire adult life promoting the virtues of fine wine. Especially fine French wine. In the late 1960s, with a degree from the London School of Economics, Spurrier (the wine guy, not the football guy) took his talents and his passions to Paris where he purchased a small neighborhood wine shop called Les Caves de la Madeleine off the Rue Royal. There he created a reputation and, dare I say it, a brand, by allowing patrons to actually try wines before purchasing them. This in the days long before either the Cruvinet or the Coravin were even pipe dreams. Anyway, Spurrier also opened a wine school and was constantly looking for ways to promote the bottles he had on offer. He had a rudimentary knowledge at that time of American wine in general and the Napa Valley in particular. Hearing that the American Bicentennial was to be celebrated in 1976, he thought it might be fun to have a blind tasting in Paris of American wines and French wines, and invited some elite French wine personalities to judge them.

Jun e 2 - Jun e 8 , 2016
On May 24, 1976, nine esteemed French wine experts joined Spurrier and an American, Patricia Gallagher, who was Spurrier’s California connection, for a side-by-side blind tasting of Bordeaux-style reds and chardonnays. There would be 10 wines in each category with six hailing from California and four from France. They included many of the most prestigious labels in French winemaking along with little known labels from America’s left coast. The judges were told to grade each wine on a 20-point scale as they saw fit. Though it seemed not just unlikely, but impossible, the nine French judges selected California wines as the top drops of the event. A Chateau Montelena 1973 Chardonnay won the white wine competition and a Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars’ 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon beat out the great Grand Cru Bordeaux wines for the honor in the red category. So earth shaking was this pronouncement that one of the judges, Odette Kahn, the editor of “La Revue du vin de France,” actually demanded her rating card be returned to her. “Mon dieu!” was all the French could say about this outcome.
THE STORY Now as amazing as the verdict was, after all the most learned palates in French wine culture had just determined that wines from California were in fact tastier than those from the motherland, nobody would have known about it. Or cared. That is if one George Taber had not been in the room. While journalists had been invited to attend the tasting, only one, Taber, who was in Paris as a correspondent for Time Magazine, accepted the offer. Taber was not an expert in wine at the time, but he knew enough to realize that this David versus Goliath win by the American wines deserved some print. In the June 7, 1976, edition of Time he wrote a total of four paragraphs in something called the Modern Living section of the magazine. There were no photos, but the headline said it all: “Judgment of
The 1976 “Judgment of Paris” forever changed the landscape of wine reputations in America and France.
Paris” it read, a play on the Greek mythology contest between the three most beautiful goddesses of Olympos — Aphrodite, Hera and Athena — for the prize of a golden apple addressed to “the fairest.” The four paragraphs, which made playful fun of the snobbery of the judges, changed the world of wine forever. It showed, in Time magazine no less, that perhaps The Empire, the French wine empire, had no clothes. Winemakers from around the world could make wines that were equal to, or better than, the French stalwarts. Kelly J.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE 2012 RIDGE VINEYARDS “ESTATE” SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS CABERNET SAUVIGNON One of the wines that was a part of the Judgement of Paris tasting was the 1971 Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon from the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. It finished fifth amongst the 10 red wines tasted. The pedigree of this wine and this vineyard is impeccable. Sourced entirely from the Monte Bello vineyard, this blend of Cabernet and Merlot explodes with big bursts of dark fruit, generous tannins and hints of California soil and smoke.

THE PRICE OF VICTORY This year, a number of wineries and restaurants hosted tastings of California and French wines as an homage to the Judgment of Paris. But there are few places that have actual bottles of the two winning wines. One of those places is the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of American History. In his story, George Taber noted “the U.S. winners are little known to wine lovers, since they are in short supply even in California and rather expensive ($6 plus).” In 2010, one of the few remaining bottles of 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay sold for $11,325 at auction.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS
PICNIC PERFECT:
BRUSCHETTA, 3 WAYS, FOR A SATISFYING PICNIC MAIN DISH THERE ARE FEW DISHES more elemental and satisfying than bruschetta. A mainstay at many Italian restaurants, it’s an appetizer comprising slices of grilled bread adorned with any number of toppings. According to Italian cookbook author Marcella Hazan, bruschetta likely originated in ancient Rome. Olive growers who brought their produce there to be pressed would sample the flavor of the fresh-squeezed oil on toasted slices of bread. (The word is derived from the Roman verb bruscare, meaning “to roast over coals.”) I like to make bruschetta on my stovetop grill at home during the colder months. It’s a winning accompaniment to just about any soup or stew and a reliable favorite with the family. Having recently come to the conclusion that there was no good reason why this simple and tasty concoction should be limited to an appetizer or side dish, I have here chosen to cast bruschetta as the star of a summer picnic. As noted, bruschetta is simple to make. But you need to work with high-quality ingredients if you want it to turn out beautifully. Start with a loaf of fresh and crusty rustic bread. Then brush each slice of bread with your very best extra-virgin olive oil before it heads for the grill. When the bread comes off the grill, and while it’s still hot, rub one side of each slice with a cut clove of garlic. Then top it off with a light sprinkling of sea salt. By the way, this technique

A staple of Italian dining, bruschetta can also be a summertime picnic basket favorite.
works just as well using a grill pan in the kitchen as it does with a grill outdoors. This recipe spells out three different toppings, all vaguely Mediterranean: a white bean salad with fresh fennel thickened with mashed beans so that the filling sticks to the bread; smoked salmon rillettes — finely-chopped salmon flavored with capers, lemon and fresh herbs and bound with sour cream; and a chopped Greek salad. Again, I recommend using your best extra-virgin olive

oil for the dressings. Each topping yields roughly two cups which should be ample to top four large slices of grilled bread. But bruschetta is nothing if not basic, meaning that just about any filling you’d ordinarily put between two slices of bread will also work as a topping for bruschetta: egg salad, tuna salad, runny cheese, hummus, grilled vegetables, you name it. Just bring the toppings in jars to the picnic, step aside, and watch everyone go for theirs. No
one’s going to wonder where the sandwiches are when bruschetta is on the picnic menu. Amanda Rae’s column will return next week. This week, Sara Moulton fills in. Moulton is the host of public television’s “Sara’s Weeknight Meals.” She was executive chef at Gourmet magazine for nearly 25 years and spent a decade hosting several Food Network shows, including “Cooking Live.” Her latest cookbook is “Home Cooking 101.”

BRIDGING BIONICS TO REBUILD LIVES by Kelly J. Hayes
The threat of rain was not going to deter Tim Burr from his appointed rounds. After all, it had been 18 months since he last took a proper walk outdoors.

WITH HIS FAMILY standing by his side in a corner of the Snowmass Club, Tim placed a wooden board as a bridge between his wheelchair and the chair where “Tucker,” the bionic exoskeleton suit that was laid out for his arrival, sat waiting. Dropping his head low and using the power of his arms to propel his entire body, he lifted his butt, maybe an inch, and maneuvered it onto the board. Then he wiggled and slid his body across the board into the chair and the embrace of Tucker, which would assist him on his walk this day. For 15 minutes, Velcro wraps were strapped, sensors were positioned and checked, and care was taken to make sure Tim was as comfortable as possible in the exoskeleton. It actually seemed that Tim was more ready than anyone else. All he wanted to do was walk. Then the moment came. “Ready?” therapist Maria Grufstedt asked with anticipation. “Ready!” came the reply of the 20-year old man, displaying a confidence that is the hallmark of youth. With that he rose, unfurling his frame from the chair and leaning on a pair of hand crutches with his arms extended and his legs planted firmly on the ground. The young man who had previously been looking up at everyone from under the brim of his Meier Ski cap was now looking down on them. At 6 feet, he was the tallest man in the room, taller than his therapist, his younger brother, his mother, and yes even his father who, out of necessity, had become much more than “just” a dad these last couple of years. It took a moment or two for Tim to get acclimated. It must be like the end of a long climb when you get to the mountaintop and you are both elated to have arrived, but exhausted from the climb. You want to celebrate but the realization hits, you still have work to do. With that Tim began his journey. He reached — no, he signaled — with his body movements that he wanted to take a step with his right foot. Tucker, the machine, taking the hint through the sensors attached to Tim’s body, moved forward, making exactly the correct step in terms of time and space. Then the left foot took a step. Slow and a touch gangly at first, a rhythm soon developed, and after a dozen strides or so, Tim was at the door leading to the patio by the outdoor pool that sat serenely, reflecting the still snowcovered slopes of Snowmass. As Tim walked out, standing tall in the sunshine for the first time since the fateful day in November 2014 when the tips of his skis dug into the snow and changed his life forever, he smiled. So did his father. His mother cried and his grandfather Sam muttered from under the bill of

his straw cowboy hat, “If I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t have believed it.” Everyone was happy. It seemed miraculous.
THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT AMANDA
“Oh sure, she’s that beautiful blonde in the wheelchair,” people say about Amanda Boxtell. Everyone in Aspen knows her, even if they don’t. They have seen her over the years, in town doing errands, at parties and fundraisers, on the slopes or in the airport as she gets ready to take a flight to some far-flung destination in search of the future. They have fallen in love with her lilting Aussie accent and her irrepressible spirit. Usually by her side is a Golden Retriever, first Tucker (yes, the bionic exoskeleton was posthumously named for him), and now Benson, who provides not just support and assistance, but also serves as an opening for people who want to say hello. It’s just easier for people to make contact with someone in a wheelchair when they can come up, pet their dog and ask sweetly, “Is he a Golden?” It helps break the ice. A ski accident on Aspen Mountain in 1992, when she was just 24 years old, crushed Amanda’s T10, 11 and 12, and L1 vertebrae. Since that time she has made a life — an important, fulfilling life — seeking an alternative to spending her days committed to a wheelchair. Going through all of the steps and down all of the rabbit holes in search of ways to help herself, yes, but now, even more importantly, helping others who have been impacted by spinal cord injuries. It has been an emotional and circuitous sojourn through various modes of therapies, legal and insurance mumbo-jumbo and the intricacies of the non-profit world in search of a platform that will allow her to achieve her goals. After her accident, Amanda was a co-founder of Challenge Aspen in Snowmass. For 11 years, the
organization, a nonprofit that enables individuals with disabilities to realize their potential through recreation in the Rocky Mountains, provided her with both a platform for getting back into everyday life and back to sitskiing on the mountains she loves. It also became a focal point for helping others. But as time progressed and the technologies have changed, she has migrated to a new frontier.

Jun e 2 - Jun e 8 , 2016
Now, with the Basalt-based Bridging Bionics Foundation, Amanda may have found her footing at last.
THE BRIDGING BIONICS FOUNDATION “I believe that for the very first time in the history of mobility impairment, we may be able to honestly tell people that there is an option beyond standard wheelchairs. That they may one day be able to walk again,” Amanda says with the enthusiasm of both a nonprofit administrator and one who has actual “skin in the game.” Her optimism is based on new technologies that have been created in the past five years that utilize electronic devices and mechanical parts to assist humans in performing difficult tasks by supplementing, or duplicating, parts of the body. That is the definition of bionics. In March 2013, Amanda established the Bridging Bionics Foundation (BBF) to help people make the transition from spinal trauma patient to actually walking. The mission, according to the Bridging Bionics website, is “to provide funding and education, and to advance the research and development

for exoskeletons and bionic technology to augment human mobility and capability. We envision that exoskeletons and bionic technology (will) become standard mobility options globally as we strive to improve the quality of people’s lives.” Through donations, the nonprofit BBF raises funds to purchase equipment, pay for therapists and support Able-Bionics USA, the overarching program that provides services free of charge for clients with mobility impairments. In October of last year, the Aspen Club and Spa, under the auspices of CEO-Owner Michael Fox, made space within their facility to house the operation and provide a home for clients and therapists. Now that the Club has closed for development until 2017, the operation has moved to the Snowmass Club.
HOPE IN SNOWMASS
The Friday that Tim took his walk outside by the pool at the Snowmass Club was just like any other at the small corner space where Bridging Bionics
now makes its home. Patients, or clients, as Amanda prefers to call them, come in hourly for sessions with one of the three trained physical therapists on staff. Currently, there are 28 clients who utilize the services, but that figure is expanding quickly. In addition to Tucker, the bionic suit, there are other technologically advanced apparatus that help patients with not just recovery, but also their day-to-day activities. A vibrating hand weight that was created for NASA and gravity-free space flight helps tone the arms of clients who are often sedentary. There is also a table that will tilt upright once a client is strapped in, and then vibrate intensely under the feet. Called the Galileo Neuromuscular Tilt Table, the stimulation system activates thousands of involuntary muscle contractions that intensely “exercise” the body in a short period of time. The Galileo was a gift to the Foundation from Lenny “Boogie” Weinglass, who has long been a supporter of the BBF. While the bionic exoskeleton is the “sexy” apparatus, the one that generates
the most attention, these other devices help patients perhaps even more. “To walk one day, all of our clients must have prepared their bodies for the experience,” explains Amanda. “It may be using their upper body strength for support or having the lung capacity to move for a period of time. If you are not healthy to begin with, then you may not be able to make the most of the emerging technology when the time comes.” And just the seemingly simple act of being upright can have dramatic effects, both physically and psychologically. “When you are constantly sitting, there are complications that develop,” Amanda emphasizes. “Your body temperature varies, your bladder and bowels lose their ability to function, muscles break down. If you do not move your body it will atrophy and die.” By using the Galileo Table, these effects can be modified. Clients are also able to do something that puts them at eye level with others, to allow them to see the same view from above that they had before their injury. “You know, I always hated cocktail
parties,” Amanda good-naturedly laughs. “It’s not fun to be constantly looking up at people. Here on the table, when it is raised, you just get a different view of the world. It really makes a difference.”
ABOUT THE EXOSKELETONS
Amanda has currently taken somewhere in the neighborhood of 140,000 steps in bionic exoskeletons, not quite the distance from Glenwood Springs to the top of Independence Pass. Her first walk took place in 2010 when she was invited by a company called Berkeley Bionics, now known as Ekso Bionics, to come and “test-pilot” a prototype for a National Geographic special. Today, there are as many as seven companies in five countries working on production of various exoskeletons that range in price from $70,000 to over $100,000. Weighing between 22 and 50 pounds each, the quest is to make them more affordable and lighter so that they may become more mainstream. In 2014,

the “ReWalk 6.0” system, made by an Israeli based company, became the first exoskeleton to be approved by the FDA for at-home use with a spotter. One of the most exciting innovations in recent years has been the production of suits produced using 3-D printer technology. These custom-made suits share technology with other designs as they work to meld the subtle movements of the body with the machine enhanced support. “These are an amazing example of the power of combining science, engineering and the human spirit,” Amanda enthuses. It is technology that can make a difference.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Given the facilities that have been made available (first at the Aspen Club and now at the Snowmass Club), the equipment that has made its way here through generous donations, and the personal resolve of Amanda Boxtell herself, there is possibly no place better to be than the Roaring Fork Valley if one suffers a serious spinal injury. Consider the Tim Burr story. Injured in November 2014 while backcountry skiing off Kebler Pass, Tim rode in an adaptive sit-ski this past winter, allowing him to not miss a single ski season despite a severe C-5 spinal cord injury. Or 18-year-old Mackenzie Langley, who was nearly killed in an Aspen automobile accident in June 2014. This February, Mackenzie walked in a bionic exoskeleton alongside Amanda at a Bridging Bionics fundraiser, and she is now preparing for college. There are others. The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation estimates that there are as many as 5.6 million Americans, that is 1 in 50 of us, who are living with paralysis. The Bridging Bionics Foundation is trying to make a difference in those lives. But perhaps just as significantly, there are people in the Roaring Fork Valley who are not impaired but who have been impacted by the mission of the Bridging Bionics Foundation as well. Volunteers like Nancy Nevin and Michele Peterson show up at the facility to help with the day-today tasks of getting clients out of their wheelchairs and ready for their exercises or stints in Tucker. Each expressed their joy at being able to share in the experience of helping others work to achieve their goals. Philanthropists like Boogie, and Greg and Billie Erwin, have held fundraising events in their homes or raised donations for the BFF. And Missouri Heights-based photographer Summers Moore took her talents to the Aspen Club to produce a series of black-and-white portraits of the

INSIDE TRACK
clients and therapists that tell tales of courage and perseverance in ways that words simply cannot. And then there is 6-year old Lilly Anna Sirbu of Basalt. On the day that Tim took his first walk outside he was able to actually see himself in a new mirror as he was strapped into Tucker. Lilly Anna had heard that the mirrors in the Snowmass Club were too high for the clients. She went to the Habitat for Humanity store and found one that was just the right height. Her donation made things a little easier for everyone. It’s just possible that, for those who care about helping others, there is no better place to be than the Roaring Fork Valley as well.
BACK TO TIM’S WALK
Tim Burr’s walk that spring afternoon saw him take 833 steps — about a third of a mile. But those 833 steps transcended time and space. They were about hope. The hope that one day in the many days that Tim has ahead of him, technology, medicine, science and will power will all coalesce to help him walk on his own, of his own free will. It is a hope that would not have seemed possible just a few short years ago. Now, in the Roaring Fork Valley, a bridge is being built to help make it a reality. And one day, with the help of Amanda and the Bridging Bionics Foundation, Tim, Mackenzie and others like them just might cross it.
Jun e 2 - Jun e 8 , 2016
While doing research for this story I learned about the mission of the Bridging Bionics Foundation and was enormously inspired. I wanted to do something to assist them in achieving their goals. This week I turn 60 years of age. To celebrate, I have concocted a plan to achieve something that I don’t believe anyone has ever tried before. I call it “The Running Decathlon.” My goal? To run the 10 top racing distances over the course of the next year half as fast as the standing World Record in each event. The events are the 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, mile, 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and the Marathon. This summer, I’ll travel to the tracks and stadiums of Europe where the world’s fastest runners set their record times. On the same date and on the same tracks where they achieved those world records, I’ll run in their footsteps… slower… but just as determined. In an effort to support the Bridging Bionics Foundation I plan to raise funds through donations to purchase an exoskeleton bionic suit for the use of those who are clients. I hope to turn my running quest into a platform to help others in their quest to walk. Join me by helping however you can — a sponsorship, a donation, words of encouragement. You can literally turn dollars into steps. For more information, please watch the video at YouTube race2walk2016 or go to race2walk2016.com. To make a donation, please visit the Bridging Bionics Foundation website at bridgingbionics.org. You can also contact me at race2walk2016@gmail.com - Kelly J. Hayes

FROM MEXICO TO WINGO JUNCTION
MAY SELBY
LARRY JONES AND MICHELLE WEEKS of Wingo Junction celebrated their wedding this spring with back-to-back events with family and friends. The happy couple first spent a week in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, at their friends’ hotel, Villas Carrizalillo. On April 30, they tied the knot at an intimate, seaside ceremony with their baby daughter, Juniper, and Michelle’s little girl, Zoe, as
flower girls. On May 28, back home near Basalt, they continued the festivities with the Jones Jamboree — a lakeside party featuring dinner, drinks and live bluegrass music. In typical Colorado fashion, the skies were clear, then cloudy, then poured rain, followed by a rainbow and bright sun. All toasted to the newlyweds and their life ahead as a new family of four.

‘TUNEFUL, BEATFUL, ARTFUL’
MUSIC FEST ADDS PROGRAMMING FOR INFANTS, TODDLERS AND PRESCHOOLERS AS THE ASPEN MUSIC FESTIVAL and School welcomes some of the world’s best and brightest musicians to its campus as students this summer, the nonprofit will also offer classes for the first time to the youngest and newest musicians among us. “Sing, Play, Move!” is a new musical enrichment program for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Limited to 12 students, classes will run three days per week for five weeks between June 28 through July 29 at the Christ Episcopal Church in the West End. Inspired by acclaimed music educator John Feierabend’s widelyadopted “First Steps in Music” program, the curriculum incorporates folk and world music, engaging kids in vocal play, along with some dance movement and simple composition with instruments like egg shakers and tiny tambourines (the kinds of instruments, program director Katie Hone Wiltgen notes, that Jimmy Fallon and his “Tonight Show” musical guests have used to make viral “classroom instrument” videos). The new program aims to help kids start to start grasping concepts like melody, beat and creativity early in life. “The whole concept is creating kids who are tuneful, beatful, artful,” says Wiltgen. Early last year, the Aspen Music Festival’s board added community engagement to its priorities — a move which has led to expanding its local school programs and adding Wiltgen as a full-time staffer overseeing local education efforts. She was previously a band teacher in the Roaring Fork School District. When she joined the organization, she quickly made developing a program for the littlest of kids a priority. “I was disappointed there wasn’t a sustained music program for kids in kindergarten and below,” she says. The Music Fest has previously hosted one-off programs for those kids — its “Gotta Move” music and dance program and its weekly “Tunes and Tales” partnership with local libraries, for instance — but hasn’t launched anything like this, with a curriculum that

F
builds over a sustained period. It’s similar in philosophy to the popular “Afterworks” programs that run in local schools through the academic school year, introducing gradeschoolers to string instruments, guitar and choral performance. “We wanted to be able to replicate that experience in the summer,” Wiltgen says. Leading the classes will be Amanda Hanzlik, former coordinator of the early childhood music program at the University of Connecticut. She’ll play guitar and integrate literature into the lessons, reading the stories behind the folk songs they’re performing. The nine-week season of public performances at the Music Festival will also be integrated into the lessons, with visits to orchestra rehearsals in the Benedict Music Tent (kids age 3 and up, it turns out, are permitted to attend Music Fest concerts). Hanzlik will integrate the repertoire of the Aspen Symphony Orchestra with classroom lessons. The orchestra managers and conductors will be prepared for
these rehearsal visitors, and the potential for squealing from the back of the tent. “Squeals are a good thing,” said Wiltgen, “when kids express themselves vocally.” There is sizeable and growing body of scientific study about the links between music and childhood development. For years, “the Mozart effect” — the concept listening to Mozart would boost kids’ IQs and learning capacity — led parents to pipe his symphonies into the womb and the crib. But it’s fallen out of favor in recent year, and the consensus about music and little kids seems ever in flux. “The one thing that’s definitely indisputable is that whether or not it has academic benefits that are measurable, we know that being a vibrant member of society means being a well-rounded individual, and exposure to music makes you a wellrounded individual,” says Wiltgen.

BOOK REVIEW
‘ZERO K’
NOTEWORTHY
DON DELILLO long ago earned his place as the oracle of American letters. In his novels of decades yore, he predicted reality TV, he understood how terrorists and lone gunmen would come to control our society through fear, he portrayed the Great Recession and Occupy Wall Street before they happened. That well-established record of cultural prognostication makes what he has to say about the future of death and the uber-rich in “Zero K” acutely discomfiting. Because it’s coming from DeLillo, you can’t dismiss it as pure science fiction, though you may wish you could. “Zero K” imagines a not-sodistant world where, for those who can pay to live forever, “Death is a cultural artifact.” The billionaire Ross Lockhart and his wife, Artis, travel to an underground compound called
The Convergence in the former Soviet Union, where a cult-like group is promising to cryogenically preserve bodies and minds until the day cures are found and immortality is made possible (for a price). The trip is narrated by Lockhart’s underemployed son, Jeffrey, who is skeptical but fascinated by the odd goings-on at The Convergence. Terminally ill, Artis is frozen. Then Ross – though he’s still healthy – begins thinking about joining her. For a man who can buy anything, an immortality pod could be “a final shrine of entitlement.” As Jeffrey fights with his dad over the idea, the narrative moves between The Convergence and Jeffrey’s familiar, disconnected 21st century life back in the U.S. – where he, not unlike the frozen bodies of the Convergence, seems to be in a state of animated suspension.
‘Zero K’ Don DeLillo 274 pages, hardcover: $27 Scribner, 2016
“Zero K” is as creepy as it sounds. But it’s also consistently funny, in DeLillo’s well-honed deadpan style. And the moral questions DeLillo deftly ponders in this masterly work of fiction may soon be more than hypothetical. After finishing the book, my quick Google search turned up stories of several tech billionaires – Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin and Larry Paige among them – spending millions in search of cures for aging and death. You can’t take it with you? Well, not for now. atravers@aspentimes.com
