THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

ART THE WYLY COMMUNITY Art Center in Basalt is celebrating the opening of its new downtown exhibition space by celebrating the work of the late Stewart Oksenhorn, the longtime Aspen Times arts editor who died in February.

With pictures provided by the Times, the Wheeler Opera House, the Oksenhorn family and friend Josh Behrman, the show offers a survey of Oksenhorn’s concert photography.

The retrospective opens the new Wyly Annex (174 Midland Ave.) on Friday, July 11, with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. and coincides with the Basalt Art Walk. The satellite gallery fills a vacant storefront downtown. The nonprofit has booked shows in the space through next spring, highlighting local and regional artists. The Oksenhorn show will stay up through July, and will be followed by Aspen’s Jody Guralnick, in August, Anderson Ranch’s Doug Casebeer and Andrea Wallace in September and a focus on Basalt-based architects in November.

Coinciding with Friday’s opening in the new Annex, the Wyly’s main gallery hosts an opening of installation art, ceramic sculpture and encaustic paintings

by K Rhynus Cesark titled “Inside Out.” That show runs through late August, with an opening reception also on Friday from 5 – 7 p.m.

MUSIC

Anderson Ranch’s Lunchtime Auctionettes feature work by faculty, visiting artists, staff and students.

THE ANDERSON RANCH CAMPUS is an idyllic oasis of creativity in the summertime. Take a walk around the Snowmass Village grounds and you’ll see paint-splattered artists at work, sculptors in goggles sanding down their latest creations, and ceramicists firing away.

But unless you’re taking a workshop, you might not have many excuses to get out there and enjoy it. One opportunity to visit is the nonprofit’s regular Friday Lunchtime Auctionettes (upcoming July 11, 25 and Aug. 1 at Schermer Meeting Hall).

The laid-back auctions of original artwork by faculty, staff, visiting artists and students are free, running from 12:15 to 1 p.m. A coinciding barbecue starts at 11:45 a.m. and costs $10.

Jul y 10 - Jul y 16, 2014

A LITTLE-KNOWN but important bit of Florida history is endangered today, and I’m not talking about the fabled black panthers of the Everglades or some other poor beast being driven to extinction by rampant development and human avarice.

In this case, it’s a bit of human history, a tiny store founded in 1906 that now operates as a museum, standing in testament to the crazy tide of misfits and outlaws who made their home in the region in the early 1900s.

This historical oddity is named Ted Smallwood’s Store, a rickety outpost of civilization when it was founded, unfortunately now situated in the middle of perhaps the last part of Florida where a developer can make a killing off of raw land, shady building practices, and a liberal application of money to the right people.

It’s a perfect setting for a Carl Hiaasen book; he spoke at a fundraising event there a couple of years ago.

Anyways, the store/museum currently is under the management of the founder’s granddaughter, Lynn Smallwood McMillin. According to news accounts, she is striving to keep alive this monument to those who inhabited what was once known as America’s last frontier.

Called the Ten Thousand Islands region of southwestern Florida, southeast of Naples, it is an area of fabulously intricate sea channels where the longextinct Calusa Indians once paddled their canoes amidst islands built up by shell mounds. The shells were deposited there as part of the natives’ system of commerce and their own form of residential development.

The coast still is protected from storm surges by these shell mounds, many of which have been deeply covered by accumulating soil and resultant vegetation and have become islands marked out by picturesque names like Chokoloskee Bay, Lost Man’s River, and Chokoloskee Island, where Ted Smallwood’s Store still sits.

It seems that a development company, Florida Georg Grove, wants to build some kind of project on its land near the museum/store. As it happens, the critical access road to the store, called Mamie Street, wanders right across the land in question, as it has for a century, the only road leading to the store.

The Naples Daily News reported on May 7 that McMillin was worried that a court-ordered mediation over the fate of

the road would not turn out in her favor. She’s probably correct, especially since the Collier County attorney has sided with the developers (surprise, surprise, surprise).

Then, on July 6, the New York Times picked up the story, and the word is out in a big way.

So, what, you ask? I can hear the question reverberating down the electronic pathways even now, as readers try to figure out if I’ve lost my marbles or am simply bereft of column topics.

The answer is, neither of the above.

I happen to have a link to this little store. Though McMillin may not know my name and I have never actually been to the store, it has held a place of honor in my imagination for a couple of decades now.

The link, as are many of my ties to strange places around the globe, is through a novel I read years ago, a book that deeply impressed me and remains at the top my list of good reads to recommend to good friends.

Published in 1990, the book is “Killing Mr. Watson,” by Peter Matthiessen. It is the first, best part of a trilogy based on the murky history of the area, the Shadow Country Trilogy, which sets out the author’s impressions of a lawless time and region.

The eponymous Mr. Watson was an actual person, an outlaw who reportedly was driven by his intemperate ways out of his home country of the American southeast, drifted to the Wild West for a time, and ended up as a sugarcane farmer in southwest Florida.

Arriving there soon after the turn of the 19th century to the 20th, he picked up a reputation as a violent man who preferred to shoot his employees instead of paying them for work they had done, and he ultimately was murdered himself in 1910 (no spoiler alert needed, as the title gives it all away).

It is a fine book and series, believed by many to be the best fiction work Matthiessen ever did.

But this is not a book review, this is a call to arms for anyone interested in preserving history, even the darker parts of our national story that some would prefer to fade away and be forgotten.

So, if you care about history, if you care about people’s need for historical touchstones regardless of someone’s need for profit, then you should care about this.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Violinist Isaac Stern, a mainstay of the Aspen Music Festival.

STERN ADVICE Violinist Hilary Hahn on Tom Ashbrook’s On Point program,

in response to a question about how she prepared for performances, said that being a musician put her in a profession where there was always “infinite room for improvement.” Hearing her comment, in the context of a conversation about what it takes to be a top solo performer, reminded me of a backstage lesson I witnessed between violinist Isaac Stern and an Aspen Music School student.

Stern, winner of six Grammys, for years was one of the biggest drawing artists of the Aspen Music Festival, a standing-ovation standby every summer. He performed as a soloist, gave master classes, and played in small ensembles with other Festival regulars. Known for discovering young talent, he was a great fit for a festival focused on developing the next generation of musicians.

I worked as a stage manager for the Festival for more than a decade. In that capacity I saw what the audience could not: what the musicians did and said backstage. Many had predictable methods of preparing mentally and physically for a performance. The physical challenges were extraordinary because at that time the backstage area, without windows or heat, was often cool. Downright cold

would be a better description, especially for the dressing rooms; there were two, located in the innermost frigid sanctum. Many musicians spent as little time as

some wore gloves, but always they had to play scales or some passages to warm up.

Before one of Isaac Stern’s performances as a soloist with the

STERN’S ANSWER WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS: IF I GO A DAY WITHOUT PRACTICING, I KNOW THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN MY PLAYING. IF I WENT TWO DAYS, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO DETECT A DIFFERENCE. IF I WENT LONGER, THE AUDIENCE WOULD KNOW. possible in the dressing rooms and more time in the room adjoining the stage, where I was stationed.

Cold fingers needed exercise to warm up. Some musicians would keep their hands in their pockets and

Festival Orchestra, he warmed up backstage. A violin student watched Stern as he went through what seemed like a routine and when he stopped the student began asking questions. Stern easily could

have delayed his response with an explanation that he was in his final stages of preparing for a performance; instead he engaged in the conversation and considered technical questions, as only a grand master could with someone who had already reached a professional level of proficiency.

The last question the student asked caught my ear. In so many words he asked, “At this stage in your career as one of the world’s top violinists, do you still practice as you did when you were younger?” I’m sure, having already committed thousands of hours of practicing, the student hoped to hear that eventually he could coast on his laurels.

Stern’s answer went something like this: If I go a day without practicing, I know there is a difference in my playing. If I went two days, you would be able to detect a difference. If I went longer, the audience would know.

Stern’s answer reminds us of the lifetime commitment a master performer makes to his profession, a resolution reflected by Hilary Hahn: the life of a musician is one of constantly striving for perfection.

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.

CHAUTAUQUA, ASPEN-STYLE

1920 C O U N T Y FA I R

“FIVE DAYS OF UNALLOYED PLEASURE coming up for the people of Pitkin County,” announced the Aspen Democrat-Times on July 10, 1920. “For five days, July 23 to 27 inclusive, Aspen will have its second Chautauqua. All will remember the magnificent entertainment given our people last year by The Standard Chautauqua System and this year the same aggregation will entertain our people with a five days’ program consisting of ten numbers.

During the Chautauqua this year our people will have the opportunity of hearing a most satisfying collection of brilliant speakers, musical artists and entertainment features arranged in a manner to be a real factor in the promotion of the highest American ideals. In the cordial atmosphere of the Chautauqua, the best elements of the community readily blend and all are the better therefore. There is no question but what this year’s Chautauqua in Aspen will be better and grander than last year and that more of our people will be the beneficiaries by taking advantage of their opportunity to take part in ‘The Most American Thing in America.’”

KATADYN GRAVITY WATER FILTERS WIND RAKED WAVES off of the mountain lake. I stooped to scoop water for dinner from the shore, 6 liters full into a bag.

In less than five minutes the water would be filtered and potable. The cleanse took no more work than hanging a bag from a branch.

I love gravity filters. These all-inone water stations convert lake or river water to drinkable H2O with minimal work. Simply fill up the reservoir and watch as it seeps and flows through a filter placed downgravity. Water is then routed through a hose for directing into a pot, bottle, or other holding container.

Katadyn (www.katadyn.com) this month announced two new models.

Its Gravity Camp 6L and Base Camp 10L filters are touted to be the fastest flowing on the market.

I tested the 6L model and was impressed with the filtering speed as well as its overall ease of use. It has connectors that snap directly to my CamelBak bladder, making for a drip-proof seal.

I timed how long it took to fill a 100-ounce CamelBak at a Colorado lake. It took just under two minutes for lake water to flow clean into the hydration reservoir, filled up and ready to drink.

Katadyn uses a 0.2-micron filter on the units. This is a standard the company cites will eliminate all protozoa and bacteria, as well as

many viruses. It is the type of filter I use on most backcountry trips.

The Katadyn filters pack up small and weigh as little as 11 ounces (12.4 ounces for the larger capacity model). They will cost $89.95, or $99.95 for the larger unit, when they come to market this summer.

Look into the Katadyn line or other gravity filters if you want a no-fuss, fast method of procuring water anywhere outside.

WINEINK

CELEBRITIES IN WINE IN THE WORLD of wine there are a number of celebrities.

Winemakers like Helen Turley, Josh Jensen, brothers Bernard and Jean-Louis Raveneau and Peter Gago all enjoy celebrity status amongst the wine cognoscenti. Their names on a bottle will catch the attention of those who love fine wine and will inevitably lead to sales.

KELLY J. But, as we all know HAYES in this media-driven world of ours, the real celebrities are those who ply their trade on the screens that dominate modern life. Film stars, television personalities and top athletes are the subjects of our awe and attention. If you are well-known, you can move product, and in the wine world a having a famous face is one of the best ways to do just that.

Last week we touched on the story of Château Miraval, a project in Provence that is owned by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Thus far they have produced two vintages of Jolie-Pitt & Perrin Côtes de Provence Rosé in partnership with Marc and Pierre Perrin of Château Beaucastel fame. Naturally all 16,000 cases of the 2013 release made from a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah and Rolle (the French Vermentino) sold out quickly.

Now personally, I believe that Pitt and Perrin is a fine pair. Brad brings the money and fame and the Perrins bring the winemaking chops.

But the bottle of $30 Rosé that I drank this weekend was thin, subtle and, well, not as good

as many of the dozens of other pink wines that line the shelves of our local wine shops.

But I bought the wine, paying a premium because of the publicity and the provenance. Touché for Mr. Pitt.

This is certainly not to say that the future for the wines of Miraval is not bright. I believe the commitment and money, with a healthy dose of time, provide the potential to make great wines and I look forward to following this story. It’s just that celebrities in their endorsements sometimes hoodwink us all.

Indeed there dozens of celebrities in the wine world. You like actors? Antonio Banderas makes wines in Spain’s Ribera del Duero under the “Anta Bandera” label, Sam Neil’s “Two Paddocks” makes beautiful Pinot Noir at his vineyards in Central Otago in New Zealand, and Kyle MacLachlan (you remember Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks don’t you?) is serious about his Columbia Valley Reds made by Eric Dunham of Dunham Cellars in Walla Walla, Wash.

Singers your thing? I have yet try it, but people who have say Sting’s Sister Moon Red Blend, made on his organic and biodynamical farmed estate Tenuto il Palagio in Tuscany can be had for a song.

Dave Mathews jams in Virginia just outside of Charlottesville where he owns Blenheim Vineyards and produces a Viognier and a Chardonnay in rather limited quantities. And Fergie has gone into business with her father in the Ferguson Crest label from Santa Barbara. The 2011 Ferguson Crest Fergalicious, a Bordeaux Blend, can be purchased online for $40.

But if you want something special, this Black Eyed Pea will sell you an autographed bottle for $155.

Yes, ink can be more valuable than grape juice if you are a pop star.

Then there are the athletes. Mark Oldman poured a surprisingly good Cabernet Sauvignon made by the basketball star Yao Ming who has a label called Yao Family wines in Napa. Dig this from Robert Parker who wrote in the Wine Advocate: “I am aware of all the arguments that major celebrities lending their names to wines is generally a formula for mediocrity, but that is not the case with Yao Ming. These are high class wines.

The two Cabernets are actually brilliant, and the Reserve bottling ranks alongside just about anything made in Napa.” Tall praise indeed.

Drew Bledsoe, the former NFL quarterback, has long dabbled in Washington wines and now produces Double Back, an ultra premium Cabernet, with noted Washington winemaker Chris Figgins of Leonetti.

The latest to enter the celeb winemaking biz is one of the hosts

UNDER THE INFLUENCE 2004 SPRING MOUNTAIN VINEYARD ‘ELIVETTE’ Opened this with a grilled chicken because it felt like the right time. A Cabernet Sauvignon heavy Bordeaux Blend, it was a great accompaniment to the meal. Beautiful dark fruits, a silky smooth finish and just a hint of tannin. A great bottle of California Cab.

of the NBC Today Show, Kathy Lee Gifford. Like all celebrities in wine, she told the Wine Spectator that she did not just want to be “the face or the name of the wine. If I was going to do it I wanted to be involved.” OK. Her new label, Gifft, an ode to the name she shares with her husband, the great Frank Gifford, launched in the spring with a Chardonnay and Red Blend made from Monterrey fruit by the Scheid family.

I guess the best advice for wine lovers is that, just because a celebrity is involved with a wine, it doesn’t make it good or bad. Like any other wine, you need to taste it for yourself and then decide.

Don’t hate it just because the owner is famous.

THE TOP CELEBRITY WINEMAKER Francis Ford Coppola is the real deal when it comes to vino. He bought great dirt and employed serious winemakers and has produced wonderful, affordable wines since the mid-1970s. Here, in honor of the Godfather trilogy, are three of those wines: 2011 DIAMOND CLARET The signature wine in the Coppola Collection and a steal at less than $20. Claret is a homage to the European (nee: British) love of Bordeaux Blends.

2011 DIRECTORS CUT DRY CREEK VALLEY ZINFANDEL Dark and jammy, a hot wine from a hot climate, this Zin is cut with a quarter slice of Petite Sirah. At 14.4 percent alcohol, it’ll stand up to your spiciest BBQ sauce.

2012 SOFIA ROSÉ This Syrah, Pinot Noir, Grenache blend is part of a collection of feminine wines named for Francis’ daughter. Also priced at under $20, it will give any other celeb Rosé a run for its money.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

MARKET SHARE

LEARN TO SHOP LIKE AN ITALIAN CHEF DURING SPECIAL TOURS OF THE ASPEN SATURDAY MARKET WHEN CHEF DAVID Viviano goes on vacation, he always fits one point of interest on his itinerary: the local farmers’ market. “It tells a lot about a community,” says the executive chef of Trecento Quindici Decano at the St. Regis Aspen Resort. “That’s one of the main reasons I enjoy them. You see the products, talk to the farmers…every market is completely AMANDA different. Every vendor RAE has his own story.”

Open-air markets capture the essence of a culture, too. Viviano’s favorite is La Boqueria in Barcelona, a sprawling bazaar open six days per week on the city’s main thoroughfare.

“It’s this big, festive atmosphere,” Viviano says. “You can go shop, then sit at a café attached to the market and have paella and tapas, and then go shop some more.”

In the U.S., farmers’ markets are booming as more and more consumers shun shady agribusiness corporations in favor of farm-fresh foods — a return to our ancestral ways. In 2004, there were 3,706 farmers’ markets in the country, according to the USDA, which publishes a National Directory of Farmers’ Markets each year.

By 2013, that number had more than doubled to 8,144 markets — and that represents a 3.6 percent increase from 2012 alone.

Beard Award-winning farm-totable restaurant Jardiniere in San Francisco, names the Ferry Building Marketplace as a treasured spot; he’s also seen the Portland Farmers’ Market and the Cardiff Seaside Market just north of San Diego grow in popularity.

Now 16 years old, the Aspen Saturday Market is a downtown block party every weekend from June to October. It comprised just six fruit and vegetable purveyors when it started in 1998 at Conner Park next to City Hall; now the multi-street festival features only Colorado grown, produced, and handmade items from around 70 vendors.

“It’s lively (and) pretty diversified,” Viviano says. “The Aspen Saturday Market is great for someone who loves food, but there’s other stuff (too).”

The chef hopes to introduce home cooks to the narratives behind Roaring Fork Valley bounty by leading morning tours of the Aspen Saturday Market on July 12, Aug. 9, and Sept. 13. Following the 90-minute jaunt along with St. Regis food and beverage director Rajesh Radke, Viviano will teach a cooking class with ingredients procured and serve a three-course family style lunch on Trecento Quindici Decano’s stunning courtyard patio ($85; open to the public; kids welcome; reservations required).

“Italian cooking is based on seasonality,” says Viviano, son of a first-generation Sicilian who ran numerous restaurants in Detroit.

(What’s more, Viviano grew up watching his Puglia-native stepmother make pasta, breads, and sauces from scratch daily.) “You’re going to find what’s at peak season at the farmers’ market. Let Mother Nature dictate what you cook.

Taste the product; if you love the cherries, you buy the cherries.”

Simplicity is also key, he says.

For example, during a media tour last month, Viviano based his entire second course around red, ripe tomatoes just hitting their prime: Fresh linguine with

heirloom tomatoes and pesto; pizza Margherita; and Boulder roasted chicken with panzanella salad. The first course was a simple Tuscan kale salad with currants and pine nuts, plus an antipasti board featuring Avalanche Cheese Company wedges accompanied by local apple cider reduction.

“I don’t always go (to market) with a menu,” Viviano explains.

“Does a nectarine look great? Does the kale look wonderful today?

That’s how I create my meals.”

Produce likely in abundance this Saturday includes lettuces, herbs, tomatoes, summer squash, berries, and baby spring onions.

Though a tad early for ultimate sweetness, cherries and peaches are trickling in as well. Viviano’s “Farmers’ Market to Fork” tour also showcases artisanal producers such as Wild Bear Bee Farm and Louis Swiss French Pastry.

Along the way, Vivano shares tips on how to pick the best specimens.

“Peaches are going to start to come into season,” he says. “You don’t want them to be too firm or too soft, and you want a sweet smell.

Make sure it’s not bruised. A piece of Swiss Chard: You don’t want it to be discolored. Too dark-green

means its bruised, and that’s going to affect flavor. Steak: look for marbling. Lots of little white lines means more flavor.”

Viviano aims to help shoppers become more confident in selecting foods and to inspire creative preparations. When in doubt, he says, ask the guy or gal behind the booth for guidance. “A lot of times, farmers are going to tell you how to cook the food. They’re growing it out their back door! If you engage with the farmer, they’re going to lead you on how to best showcase their product.”

Perhaps most valuable for participants of these excursions is having the rare chance to watch a professional chef in action and ask questions for three-plus hours.

“It’s an experience we can give to visitors that they can’t get anywhere else,” Viviano says. “I’m trying to find different vendors and get guests excited about what they do. You see the community in a different light.”

This week, Amanda Rae is back in the Berkshires — home to some 500 farms and more than a dozen farmers’ markets. amandaraewashere@gmail.com

SHOP LIKE AN ITALIAN “I get inspired when I go to a market,” says David Viviano, executive chef at Trecento Quindici Decano at the St. Regis Aspen Resort. “I get excited about the food I see and it helps me figure out how I’m going to make the meal.”

His top tips: •

• •

•

• •

DO take a warm-up lap through the market before purchasing.

See what’s available, and compare quality and prices.

DO feel free to arrive with a plan, but…

DON’T be a slave to recipes. Buy seasonal, and be flexible with your menu.

DO ask questions about product—and for suggestions on how to prepare it.

DON’T plan complex dishes. Simplicity is key.

DO BYOB (bring your own bags).

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

Roller babes and cruiser dudes show their patriotic spirit at Aspen’s Fourth of July parade.

INDEPENDENCE DAY BECAUSE WE CAN

WE COME FROM FAR and wide, some as distant as Snowmass Village, others as close as the Hunter Creek Apartments.

But you will not find us cheering from the parade sidelines or hiding out at home waiting for the holiday crowd to die down. We’re here to represent our country and we plan on letting everyone in town, and across our social media BARBARA networks, know that.

PLATTS #Babes #Murica #FourthofJuly #AspenLiving #Freedom #CollieCruiser We’re youthful and patriotic, but all quite different. Some of us roller blade, one of us rides a lime green Razor scooter, two of us long board, and still another rides a chair glued to plywood equipped with small wheels on the bottom. And the rest?

They ride in a 1974 red Toyota FJ-40 Land Cruiser covered in American flags. Because that’s just how we roll.

Despite our differences, we coalesce together to bring you one simple message: “Amurica, F**ck Ya!” With our hearts full of passion for our country and our stomachs full of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Fireball, we march forth in the Independence Day Parade, reminding people what is still noble and true in this country: babes, lots and lots of babes.

MOST OF US HAVE NEVER FOUGHT IN A WAR (MOST PATRIOTIC FLOAT) OR DRESSED UP AS ECCENTRIC MERMEN (MOST OUTRAGEOUS FLOAT), BUT WE SURE LOOK GOOD IN A PAIR OF TIGHT JEAN SHORTS AND A BATHING SUIT TOP. AND BOY, CAN WE GET THE CROWD GOING WITH OUR BOUNDLESS SPIRIT, LOUD PATRIOTIC CHEERS, AND CAPTIVATING GOOD LOOKS. Our name is Collie Cruiser Traditional American Float. At the helm, our trusty captain and founder Ian Collins guides the way down the busy Aspen streets. In the back are the float babes waving their American flags with pride. On the sides, circling the Land Crusier, are

the roller bros and the roller babes.

What is our mission, some may ask….Why do we feel the need to hoot, howl , cajole, and guffaw until the skin on our backs blazes bright red from the heat of the sun?

Well, we have a few reasons: We do it because it can be done.

We do it because, in this country, freedoms abound and the right we have to be involved in a parade is just too good to pass up.

We do it because roller blades, scooters, and long boards help tone the buttocks.

And, most importantly, we do it to bring together a collective group of like-minded individuals who are all looking to celebrate the greatest holiday of the year.

Most of us have never fought in a war (most patriotic float) or dressed up as eccentric mermen (most outrageous float), but we sure look good in a pair of tight jean shorts and a bathing suit top. And boy, can we get the crowd going with our boundless spirit, loud patriotic cheers, and captivating good looks.

While we goof around and fully embrace ridiculousness, we carry with us an important American value: That this country is truly what you make of it.

So raise a glass with us, or maybe two, for our country is another year old, and we plan on celebrating until security tells us to stop taking victory laps on Main Street.

To America!

Oh, and if you missed us, just check your Facebook feed…we’ve been blowing up for days! @Barbara Platts only fell twice while rollerblading.

ESCAPE ARTIST | BORDEAUX

by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY

MORE FROM BORDEAUX:

LEARN TO PAIR FOOD AND WINE FROM AN EXPERT (HINT: YOU’VE GOT TO ACTUALLY TASTE THE WINE TO GET IT RIGHT)

PAIRING WINE WITH food can seem like thorny business.

Go taste for taste, or contrasting flavors? Is white wine with fish the only appropriate pairing? The “rules” of food and wine pairings appear to be confusing, but they need not be, says Bénédicte MartenTrocard, a winemaker and wine educator in Bordeaux, France.

I visited Bénédicte at AMIEE WHITE her Château Mancèdre BEAZLEY in the Pessac-Léognan AOC, where she has created a reputation as one of Bordeaux’s leading women in winemaking.

When it comes to pairing food with wine, Bénédicte’s philosophy is quite simple: “In two words: balance and complement,” she says. “The dish and the wine talk to each other, interact with

each other, seduce each other and fall in love!”

Bénédicte’s says it’s best to pair wine beginning with the dish. Define the food’s flavor profile (aromas, tastes, sensations) and tactile sensations (volume, fat, smooth), then find the appropriate wine to pair. Either go in the same direction as the dish (same aromas, flavors, sensations) or in the opposite direction (sweet and salty).

“Pairing with opposites is certainly risky, but exciting, because it awakens the mouth and surprises your palate,” she says.

Bénédicte notes a simple test to verify the pairing is successful is to taste the wine on its own, then taste your dish, then re-taste your

wine. If you find the wine tastes better the marriage is good. “There is no absolute truth or rule,” says Bénédicte, “only infinite answers and options. So stay creative and dare to pair.”

Sometimes the balance of pairing comes in unexpected ways like red wine and fish for summer.

“Depending on the type of fish you’re having, you can marry it well with red wine,” she says. Red wine for fish should be round with soft tannins as not to affect the delicate flesh of the fish. Bénédicte recommends a marinated tuna paired with a red wine from the right bank of Bordeaux.

When it comes to desserts, Bénédicte likes an active pairing. “I personally like to ‘shake’ the mouth

— awaken the palate by seeking contrasts. With a sweet dessert, pairing a rosé or a Crémant de Bordeaux with a red fruits salad brings liveliness and freshness to the dish. A red wine with round and soft tannins will also be perfect on dark chocolate desserts.

If you still can’t decide what to serve or what to bring to a dinner party or barbecue, go for a crowd pleaser, says Bénédicte. “The best option would be to offer a wine that appeals to the largest number of people such as a Crémant de Bordeaux or Bordeaux rosé.”

Last but not least, be not afraid when going forth to the wine shop.

“Remember balance,” Bénédicte says. “Trust yourself.”

TRAVEL ALERT: CUBA Mountain Travel Sobek, a travel company that has been around for almost 45 years and is a pioneer in the adventure travel landscape, has just launched an amazing experience to Cuba. The company recently received a rare “people-to-people” one-year permit to Cuba by the U.S. government and hence announced three nine-day “Cuba Cultural Discovery” tours that will take place in November and December 2014 and February 2015.

Each of the three group tours is limited to 16 travelers and will include, among other stops: a visit to Ernest Hemingway’s Cuban home, Finca La Vigía; explore the vibrant artist communities in Old Havana and the lush agricultural heartland of Las Terrazas — both UNESCO World Heritage Sites; venture into the scent-infused tobacco fields of Viñales; learn about Cuba’s education system with administrators while visiting a local school; and, of course, many culinary experiences.

The tour is priced at $4,895 per person plus $495 roundtrip charter air from Miami to Havana. For more information and booking, visit www.mtsobek.com/trip/ experiencing-cuba.

RECOVERY ROAD

A PARTLY PARALYZED ATHLETE PUSHES HIS LIMITS, AS ADAPTIVE RECREATION BOOMS IN THE WEST

by TERRAY SYLVESTER for HIGH COUNTRY NEWS

LAST MARCH, JON ARNOW DESCENDED 4,400 VERTICAL FEET ON CRUTCHES,

from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to the Colorado River, and then, the same day, hobbled back out.

He started at dawn with four companions, following the others down the winding trail in a silent, focused lope. Strangers sometimes mistake Arnow’s disability for nothing worse than a broken bone, but he is partially paralyzed from the waist down. On his right side, his nerves still stimulate, in his words, an “ittybitty” hamstring, a quadriceps the size of another man’s forearm, some gluteus, and a hip flexor just strong enough to swing his leg forward. His left leg has none of this. It is completely inert, but with a rigid brace, he can balance on that foot while he advances his crutches.

It is almost 10 miles on the Bright Angel Trail from the rim to the Colorado River, hidden among the canyon folds. The group made an unhurried descent and arrived on the riverbank before noon. They snapped a few photos and then began to climb back out. Arnow tripped. He took a few more strides and fell again. He sometimes worries about inconveniencing his able-bodied partners, and now, almost a vertical mile below the trailhead, he read desperation in their faces. One was an old friend, the others were recent acquaintances. “I’ve got this completely under control,” he said. His muscles had gotten used to the descent, and he had to adjust. He climbed to his feet again and, later, insisted on detouring to an overlook above the river. “It was a mile and a half out, and everyone’s looking at me like, ‘Dude, don’t do it,’” he recalls. “And I’m going, ‘We’re leaving nothing on the table.’”

Arnow is soft-spoken and attentive. He can appear either robust or diminutive. In 2013, New Mobility Magazine ran a photo of him from the waist up, wearing a tank top in the sun, flexing his right arm, biceps and deltoid surging, a contrast to his slender legs. His dark hair is beginning to gray, and he has a strong, open face without hard angles. By the time the group approached the rim of the canyon late that afternoon, Arnow was staring at his feet, measuring the final miles in short, tired increments. They stopped to rest, and one of his friends switched on a video camera, narrating for a later replay: “Less than a mile to go and this thing is kicking our butts.”

“If I had one,” Arnow joked.

Today, disabled adventure sports — “adaptive recreation” — are more popular than ever before. You might chalk it up to innovation; in the last few decades, injured athletes have refined the tools and skills they need to get outside. You might point to the long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which have disabled thousands of Americans and channeled public and private dollars toward their sports. Whatever the cause, the limits have shifted for those with physical disabilities.

Organizations around the West have found ways to adapt almost any adventure sport; a disabled person can raft, surf, water ski and paraglide — if necessary, in a rig hitched directly to a wheelchair – and that list scarcely scratches the surface. Last year in Colorado, Vail hosted one of the country’s first competitions for disabled rock climbers, and an Iraq War veteran who’d lost both arms in combat completed the state’s prestigious Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race. In February, adventurer Sean O’Neill became the first paraplegic to ice climb Telluride’s 365-foot Bridal Veil Falls.

But for many disabled athletes, particularly those with spinal cord injuries, getting outside remains a tough and unglamorous endeavor. Arnow was the first person to crutch-hike the Bright Angel Trail — in the end, the round-trip took him 12 hours — but he is quick to note that such records may have little meaning. Partial injuries such as Arnow’s, in which the spinal cord is not completely severed, are idiosyncratic, with unpredictable symptoms. “There aren’t that many of me around,” he says. “I had to come up with a lot of stuff on my own.”

Arnow grew up in Syracuse, N.Y. At the age of 26, when he was enrolled in the Yale School of Medicine and not yet paralyzed, he was assigned a rotation in family practice in Kayenta, Ariz., a Navajo town a few miles from the buttes of Monument Valley. Until that summer, he’d slept only a few nights outside, but he joined a Utah raft trip, and hiked in the high desert and the Rockies. “Snow in the summer, and I’ve never seen mountains, wildflowers,” he recalls. “It was an epiphany. I went back to Yale an absolutely transformed person.” Intent on returning to the West, he applied for a residency at the University of Colorado hospital in Denver and, while there, made his first backcountry ski turns and learned to climb. After graduation, he partnered with a young alpinist named Charlie Fowler, who was making a name for himself as one of the most daring and dedicated climbers on the continent. Together they scaled ice routes in Canada, and put up a new line on an 18,000-foot peak in the Peruvian Andes. Arnow established himself as an ear, nose and throat surgeon in Reno, Nev. For the next 15 years, he crisscrossed the Sierra Nevada range, climbing and skiing. Each winter, he spent a week in British Columbia, hunting powder turns by helicopter.

Arnow took great pleasure in moving through remote terrain swiftly on skis. He avoided resorts, but in February 2002, he joined a friend at Alpine Meadows, a ski area in California. They rode a chair to the top of the mountain and hiked to the head of a chute called the Keyhole. The air was cool and clear. Lake Tahoe glinted in the distance.

Arnow clicked into his skis and dropped in. He took two turns and yelled up to his friend, “I’m good!” He turned again and lost control.

Over the previous days, a warm front had driven rain high up the slopes. Then temperatures plummeted, freezing the saturated snow. Arnow, a powder hound, rarely sharpened the edges of his skis, and now he couldn’t stop. He picked up speed. The chute forked, and he careened over the rocks in between. When he woke, he struggled to catch his breath and saw feces and blood. He’d punctured his lungs, and the lobes of his pelvis had been driven in opposite directions “like two propeller blades,” ripping his colon from his rectum, and opening a wound “you could put a fist in,” he says. He had cracked his sacrum and burst his highest lumbar vertebra, damaging a bundle of nerves at the base of the spinal cord called the cauda equina. He couldn’t feel his legs. When his friend reached him, Arnow deadpanned, “You know, I’ve skied that better.”

Arnow spent 51 days in intensive care in Reno. Then he moved with his wife, Debbie, and 12-year-old son to Englewood, Colo., to be treated in Craig Hospital, a leader in rehabilitation for spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries. Craig attracts military veterans and outdoor athletes and is known for the adventures it offers — sailing, horse-packing, scuba diving and downhill mountain biking, to name a few.

Due to the misery and disorientation of their injuries, patients sometimes shy away from sports, but athletics can work wonders, says Claire Cahow, one of Craig’s recreation therapists. “They get away from a hospital setting and realize, ‘Oh my God, life is going on out here. I need to join in.’”

Colorado was familiar ground, not only for Arnow, but also for Debbie, a nurse who had studied and worked in the Denver area in the past. Their combined medical expertise would prove invaluable in the months to come, but they would nonetheless face a steep learning curve. When Arnow arrived at Craig, he weighed 110 pounds — thin enough that his watch slid onto his biceps if he lifted his arm.

His doctors had put his chance of survival at less than 1 percent, and he’d barely beaten the odds. “I was such a basket case,” he says. “I was

very much in pain.” Cahow took him into her office and showed him videos of other disabled athletes, most notably Mark Wellman, a paraplegic who scaled the 3,000-foot face of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park in 1989.

For that climb, Wellman had done more than 7,000 pull-ups, ascending ropes fixed by an able-bodied partner. It was an opening act in the era of adaptive adventure sports. “It was massive,” says one writer who specializes in spinal cord issues. “That climb blew open the doors.” Arnow, who had climbed El Cap six times before he was injured, wondered if he would perform such feats again.

Victims of traumatic spinal cord injuries can spend months or years in denial, fighting the finality of their loss, sometimes searching in vain for a cure. When someone loses the ability to walk, “there’s a clutching that goes on,” says Candace Cable, a disabled rights advocate and athlete who has won a dozen Paralympic medals. After damaging her spine in a car accident in 1975, she isolated herself from family and friends, bewildered and depressed. Eventually, she found camaraderie and self-confidence in athletics. She hadn’t been a competitive athlete before her injury, but she went on to help pioneer the sport of wheelchair racing, won the women’s wheelchair division of the Boston Marathon six times, and became the only American woman, disabled or otherwise, who has taken an overall title in World Cup Nordic skiing. When she met Arnow, he impressed her with his unflinching appraisal of his injury. She lives near Lake Tahoe, as does Wellman. The day after Arnow returned from rehab, he called both of them. “He was looking at the problem and saying, ‘Hmm, OK, let’s just see how we can make this work for me,’ “ Cable recalls. “He fully understood the ramifications.”

In 2001, Barry Corbet, a paraplegic journalist, delivered a speech at Craig Hospital describing those with spinal cord injuries as “conquerors of the ordinary.” Corbet had been an accomplished climber before he broke his back in a helicopter crash in 1968, and the comment was a riff on the title of a classic mountaineering book, Conquistadors of the Useless. At Craig, Corbet spoke on a topic most of his audience already knew too well: For those with damaged spinal cords, daily life demands the navigation of many minutiae, some dangerous. Bowels and bladder become unruly, prone to obstruction, infection and other sudden, unpleasant surprises.

Skin ulcers can develop in a matter of hours if a person without sensation rests too long in one position; if infected, they can be lethal. Circulatory problems crop up. Sexual function may fail. “We find adventure in reaching the unreachable object, in scratching the unscratchable itch,” Corbet said. “We find it every time our equipment breaks down or an

“WE FIND ADVENTURE IN REACHING THE UNREACHABLE OBJECT, IN SCRATCHING THE UNSCRATCHABLE ITCH... WE FIND IT EVERY TIME OUR EQUIPMENT BREAKS DOWN OR AN ATTENDANT DOESN’T SHOW UP. OUR CONQUESTS ARE ORDINARY AS DIRT — BUT THEY ARE ADVENTURES AND IT HELPS IF WE SEE THEM THAT WAY.” – BARRY CORBE attendant doesn’t show up. Our conquests are ordinary as dirt — but they are adventures and it helps if we see them that way.”

Just before his accident, Arnow had been planning to ski the Haute Route, a multiday journey over the glaciers of the French and Swiss Alps. When he returned from rehab, he found his duffels waiting for him, not yet unpacked. Now, simply getting out of bed demanded the finesse of a rock climber. He could maneuver around the house without a wheelchair, but it was a precarious undertaking — a stumble from room to room, braced on a countertop, a wall, a cane. At the same time, he was becoming acquainted with neurogenic pain, a chronic condition that can afflict those with damaged spinal cords. Arnow’s lower body, otherwise numb, tingled and burned with a severity that defied drugs, and, sometimes, description. He searched for motivation, telling himself he had to set a positive example for his son, but still, the pain isolated him, forcing him to close his medical practice, and leaving him curled in bed for long hours, cut off from his family. The mountains offered solace. “I loved skiing as much as anyone can love skiing,” he says. “It was damn important to get back on snow.”

Arnow didn’t miss a season. In the winter of 2003, he drove to Alpine Meadows, the site of his injury, to train with Disabled Sports Far West, a nonprofit based beside the resort’s bunny hill. It was an auspicious, if humble, place for a new beginning.

The organization began half a century earlier, when a group of injured World War II veterans, members of the 10th Mountain Division, took to the slopes at small resorts on Donner Pass, above Truckee, Calif. For balance, amputee skiers back then wielded heavy steel outriggers — essentially crutches fitted with sawed-off ski tips. With the Vietnam War, participation surged. “It was crazy,” recalls Kirk Bauer, who joined as a participant after losing a lower leg in Vietnam and has since become director of the national nonprofit Disabled Sports USA. “You were scrounging for equipment. You were scrounging around for donations. We were making up the ski teaching methods as we went.” In its early days, the group was called the National Amputee Skiing Association. Its model proved popular, and offshoots spread to other ski towns, then elsewhere across the country.

Disabled Sports USA now serves as an umbrella organization for 109 chapters, many of which run year-round, offering more than 40 sports to clients with cognitive and physical disabilities. The military continues to have an outsize effect on disabled athletics as well. Veterans represent a small portion of the active disabled population; even though Disabled Sports USA recruits directly from military hospitals, veterans typically account for fewer than 5 percent of its 60,000 annual clients. But each war nonetheless drives participants, and dollars, toward adaptive sports. It can be

tough to wrestle top-notch prosthetics — let alone recreation gear — from private insurers, but the Department of Veterans Affairs is more generous.

For manufacturers in what is, at best, a niche market, its contracts create “a buying power that is second to none,” Bauer says. The VA and other government agencies also support innovation in adaptive technology.

Sit-skiing gear was rudimentary until 1985, when a paraplegic Stanford-educated engineer, Peter Axelson, invented the monoski — a molded seat designed to clip into a ski binding. By the time Arnow began relearning his turns at Alpine Meadows, paraplegic skiers In 2009, after his second major surgery, he learned to crutch-hike.

Some models include shock absorbers to minimize injured his spine in a ski crash in 1985. “He was skiing all the super-extreme the strain on wrists, elbows and shoulders, which, in many paraplegics, succumb terrain.” Arnow used the widest skis he could, and relearned how to arc to arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other ailments.

because he has found a replacement: kayaking, which is, usually, easier on his body. He must fight his fused spine to sit upright in the boat. On one outing, in 2013, he spent five hours paddling the San Francisco Bay; afterward, he realized he had developed a 1-inch pressure sore on his left buttock. (Without gluteus muscle for padding, his skin had been sandwiched between his ischial bone and the hard plastic seat and, of course, he hadn’t felt it.) Cursing his carelessness, he cut a hole in the kayak seat and stitched in a neoprene hammock for his sitz bone. He has purchased several boats since

and added padding in each.

Arnow would like to become a proficient saltwater paddler, then head to Baja, and up the Inside Passage to Alaska. For years, he moved, while outdoors, at a faster pace than his family.

Lately, he has begun to hope that Debbie, his wife, will join him on the water. He often studs his posts on the Rutgers forum with pictures of his trips — the play of shadows on the canyon walls above flatwater on the Colorado River, winter light on the tufa formations of California’s Mono Lake, a geyser in Pyramid Lake in northern Nevada. In December

of 2013, he took a photo as he paddled beside a curtain of icicles on the east shore of Lake Tahoe. He posted it with a note: “So beautiful. I don’t feel disabled for a change.”

Before dawn on the first day of 2014, Arnow met Mark Wellman, the famous paraplegic El Capitan climber, at a boat launch on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Wellman has made a career delivering inspirational lectures and educating people about adaptive sports. He spends part of his time towing a portable climbing wall around the West, using pulleys to help people climb out of their wheelchairs.

“It’s pretty cool to see a kid that was born with cerebral palsy, that’s trapped in a body that doesn’t work, and they might not be able to speak, but they’ve got a big smile on their face and their parents are crying because they’ve never seen them do something like this,” Wellman says.

After Arnow’s accident, the two became friends and frequent outdoor partners. Now, they stuffed their kayaks with camping gear and set out, paddling the shoreline. It was a warm weekend in a mild winter, and the water was calm — “absolutely glass,” Arnow recalls. The weather remained that way for the next two days, and although they’d camped by kayak only once before, they moved efficiently and independently. In the evenings, they nosed onto beaches, spread tarps between their boats to keep out the sand, and feasted on smoked salmon and crackers.

They slept beneath the stars. Each morning, they woke before dawn, brushed the frost from their sleeping bags and pushed onto the water. The trip was another milestone — the first paraplegic kayak circumnavigation on Lake Tahoe — and the lake was deserted on the New Year’s holiday. They had it all to themselves.

This story was published as part of a special issue of the HCN magazine devoted to travel in the West. Terray Sylvester is a former HCN intern. Originally from the Lake Tahoe area, he now lives in Berkeley, Calif., where he travels mainly by bicycle, dodging car doors and potholes, dreaming of peaks.

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE

HISTORICAL CHARACTER OVER THE NEXT few days at the Aspen Historical Society, you can ask Eve Homeyer about breaking into the boys’ club of Aspen politics, talk to Hunter Thompson about gonzo journalism and his campaign for Pitkin County sheriff, or chat up a mining era prostitute about her clientele.

The Historical Society is bringing them all to life, through local actors, during its two-day Chautauqua presentation at the Wheeler/Stallard Museum grounds.

Last year, the nonprofit launched a five-day Chautauqua celebrating its 50th anniversary. The tradition continues this year, with two days of events, including the character presentations, in what Historical Society director Kelly Murphy says she hopes will become an annual tradition.

The programming is driven by the theme “Freethinkers: Shaping Our Community.”

The Historical Society has infused interactive theatrical performance into its program over the last five years, since local actors Mike Monroney and Nina Gabianelli joined its staff.

“For me it was about finding someone who I had an affinity for, and for their spirit,” explains Gabianelli, a veteran actor and vice president of programming and education at the Historical Society. “I’m not impersonating someone. I don’t need to look like that person. But I do want to have a passion for them and an understanding of how they think.”

To prepare for the roles of local historical figures, actors utilize the resources of the Historical Society, and conduct research with the help of city grants. Gabianelli recalls digging into the life of Sarah Gillespie, one of the first women settlers in Aspen, who arrived in the

winter of 1880-81. Gabianelli and Historical Society staffers couldn’t even find Gillespie’s full name at first, because she was known — in historical documents — simply as Mrs. B. Gillespie. A search of ancestry.com turned up family records, and from there, they filled in the details, finding nuggets like the fact that one of Gillespie’s sisters married into the Willits family, and was instrumental to ranching life in the midvalley in the late 19thcentury.

Gabianelli says she’ll also often review local newspapers from the era in which her characters lived, to get a sense of events and trends of their time (there were six newspapers in 1881).

For more recent figures, like “Strudel Queen” Gretl Uhl, actors can talk to family members, watch video and listen to oral histories archived at the Historical Society. And for recent public figures, like Hunter S. Thompson — who will be played

by local poet/actor Kim Nuzzo at Chautauqua — an actor can review their first-person writing, along with biographies and documentaries.

Characters like Stuart Mace and Walter Paepcke have popped up at events like Time Travel Tuesdays and school programs with local third- and fourth-graders (characters like Hunter Thompson and the hooker don’t come along to the elementary schools, Gabianelli noted).

“People learn in different ways, and for some people picking up a history book is not appealing to them,” says Murphy. “Through a portrayal, you can really bring it to life for people.”

She compares the character events to the familiar cocktail party question: If you could have dinner with any historical figure, who would it be?

“We’re kind of doing that through these portrayals,” says Murphy.

On Friday at Chautauqua, local theater teacher and Aspen 82 host Lynn Aliya plays Homeyer, Aspen’s

first female mayor. Kimberly Reyfuss plays a “Lady of the Night,” a composite of the working girls who populated Aspen’s brothels during the silver boom. And Gabianelli plays Natalie Gignoux, the legendary local taxi driver and Bohemian.

On Saturday, Nuzzo plays Thompson, while Theatre Aspen founder Kent Reed plays Tenth Mountain Division solder turned Aspen Times editor Bil Dunaway, and Alexander Hunter plays ski industry pioneer Fred Iselin.

The Historical Society is also using the actors’ process as an educational tool. This summer, a group of 10 kids, aged 8 to 14, are taking part in a Young Chautauqua camp, where they research and then portray characters in 10-minute presentations that outline who their characters were, why they made certain choices, and how they influenced Aspen. The kids perform Saturday afternoon at Chautauqua.

(10349640) NOTICE OF DECISION EXCHANGE OF LANDS IN EAGLE GARFIELD AND PITKIN, COUNTIES, COLORADO Sutey Ranch Land Exchange, Serial No. COC-74812 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, Bureau of Land Management, Colorado River Valley Field Office, 2300 River Frontage Road, Silt, Colorado 81652.

Notice is hereby given that on June 20, 2014, Steve Bennett, Field Manager, Colorado River Valley Field Office, issued a decision to approve a proposed land exchange with Proponents Leslie and Abigail Wexner and to accept the Proponents' offer to donate 235.38 acres to the United States.

Participating entities in the land exchange include 2343 County Road, LLC; Prince Creek Crown, LLC; and Lady Belle Partnership, LLLP. The proposed exchange would convey six parcels of Federal lands in Pitkin and Eagle Counties, aggregating 1470.01 acres, to acquire two parcels of non-Federal lands totaling 433.03 acres located in Garfield and Pitkin Counties. The BLM determined the Federal lands suitable for disposal by exchange pursuant to Section 206 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1716), as amended (FLPMA).

The proposed exchange will dispose of six Federal parcels in Pitkin and Eagle Counties to acquire a portion of the Sutey Ranch in Garfield County and a parcel adjacent to The Crown in Pitkin County.

The Federal parcels in Pitkin County have limited public access. The Proponents' Two Shoes Ranch border most of the Pitkin County Federal parcels.

Patents for the described Federal lands will reserve a right-of-way for ditches or canals constructed by the authority of the United States pursuant to the Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945). The patents issued for the Federal lands will convey surface and minerals. Two Federal parcels will be subject to existing rights-of-way for roads. Specific legal descriptions and maps of the parcels involved in this exchange are available from the Colorado River Valley Field Office at the above address, on-line at www.blm.gov/co/crvfo, or by contacting Monte Senor at (970) 876-9067.

Disposal of the Federal lands is consistent with the considerations for land tenure adjustments outlined in Appendix D of the Glenwood Springs Resource Management Plan as revised (1988). The Federal lands located in Eagle and Pitkin Counties, are isolated from other Federal lands, and are difficult and uneconomic for the BLM to manage. The exchange will consolidate ownership and improve the efficiency and management by the Bureau of Land Management.

In exchange, the United States will acquire a portion of the Sutey Ranch in Garfield County and a parcel in the area of The Crown in Pitkin County.

Both parcels are accessible by county roads. The United States will acquire the Sutey Ranch parcel in fee, subject to existing rights-of-way. The United States will acquire surface only in the West Crown parcel as the Federal patent reserved all minerals.

The parcel will be subject to a right-of-way for Prince Creek Road and any valid existing rights.

The encumbrances will not interfere with future management objectives for the parcels and are acceptable to the United States.

Upon completion of the proposed land exchange, the proponents will grant conservation easements on Federal parcels A and B to the Aspen Valley Land Trust and conservation easements on Parcels C, D, and E to the Eagle Valley Land Trust.

The Department of Interior's Office of Valuation Services (OVS) approved appraisals for the Federal and non-Federal lands. Appraisal of the exchange lands determined the value of the nonFederal lands to be substantially higher than the value of the Federal lands. A supplemental appraisal of Parcel 1 in August 2013 separated the Sutey Ranch into two tracts, Parcel 1A will to remain as the exchange parcel. The Proponents offered to donate Parcel 1B to the United States under a separate transaction pursuant to Section 205 of the FLPMA. The OVS approved the values for Parcels 1A and 1B on August 26, 2013

The exchange and donation will increase land management efficiency, especially for protection and enhancement of wildlife and recreation resources. The non-Federal parcels include water and riparian resources. The exchange will well serve the public interest.

NOTEWORTHY

‘KATIE GALE: A COAST SALISH WOMAN’S LIFE ON OYSTER BAY’ IN “KATIE GALE,” anthropologist Llyn De Danaan chronicles the life of a 19th-century Salish woman who married a white man, gave birth to four children, became a successful oysterwoman, suffered greatly in a divorce settlement, and watched two of her children die of tuberculosis before succumbing to the disease herself.

An extraordinary life? Not really. An exemplary one? No. But Katie Gale represents more than an individual: She stands in for an entire generation of Native American women trampled under the boots of white expansion.

“Of this I am certain, Katie Gale was a refugee, a person displaced by war and threats of war from her country of origin,” argues De Danaan. Katie’s tribe lived on the oyster-rich Washington coast “before the first non-Indian oystermen arrived in Oyster Bay with their values, dreams and aspirations that rapidly turned a largely subsistence

harvest to one based on accumulation of wealth, investment and growth.”

In the late 1800s, whites arrived in large numbers, the beneficiaries of laws encouraging homesteading.

Joseph Gale and others claimed vast oysterbeds. But lacking knowledge of the area’s unique harvesting practices, the settlers were at a disadvantage. Hence, the high number of intermarriages between white men and Native women who knew how to manage tribal lands for sustenance.

But subsistence living vanished when the 1893 depression struck. “Economic downturns had never touched her people before. Only natural disasters could bring shortages. Now Katie lived in a world that was plummeted into near chaos by the national and even international activities of marketing and finance.”

Despite its difficulties, Katie’s life is also full of love and community,

“Surely my life is as insubstantial, as ephemeral, as was Katie’s. I will become like her, another mostly anonymous wraith, a specter who will walk the shores with all the others.”

But De Danaan underestimates her work; this volume is an act of resurrection, well worth the contemporary reader’s immersion in another life and time.
