THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

POPULAR MUSIC TOURING IN SUPPORT of their acclaimed 2014 album “Seeds,” indie-rock giants TV on the Radio come to Belly Up Aspen on July 28. “Seeds,” the band’s fifth album, showcases TV on the Radio’s enduring, individualistic sound — blending post-punk, electronic and atmospheric traditions and textures to make something wholly new. The quartet’s catalog “Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes” (2004) and “Return to Cookie Mountain” (2006) earned them worldwide fans as well as critical praise, winning the Shortlist Music Prize and Spin’s Album of the Year Award, respectively. Their breakout release “Dear Science” (2008) was named best album by Rolling Stone, The Guardian, Spin Magazine, The New York Times, The Onion A.V. Club, MTV and Entertainment Weekly and was followed by 2011’s “Nine Types of Light.” “The band is its own self,” lead singer Tunde Adebimpe says. “It has to be that way. That’s been the goal for a long time. Nobody really wants to be the focal point for the band; the band should be the focal point. Not even the band — the music. We can show up and take credit for it, but ultimately it’s something that maybe we helped shape and facilitate coming into the world.” The July 28 concert is scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m. with Ronila opening. Tickets are $70 for general admission and $115 for reserved seating. They’re available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyup aspen.com. For more on TV on the Radio and an interview with Adebimpe, pick up the July 28 issue of The Aspen Times.
TV on the Radio will play Belly Up Aspen on July 28.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
by JOHN COLSON
McCain gets Trumped; politics as usual WATCHING THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY-ELECTION SKIRMISHES is almost as funny as watching reruns of the old “M*A*S*H” television series (the early episodes), except for the fact that the election is a serious thing. My funny bone was tickled last week when clown prince Donald Trump essentially said what many others have thought through the years, that Arizona Sen. John McCain really should not be considered a war hero simply because he was captured. “I like people who were not captured,” The Donald continued, presumably meaning he prefers the heroics of soldiers who stayed on the battlefield and killed the enemy. Trump never explains himself, or his explanations go unreported as too goofy and not nearly as pithy as the statement he’s trying to explain. Now, I have some sympathy for McCain, a Navy pilot who was shot down over Vietnam and held captive for more than five years in Hanoi. The son of a high-ranking admiral, he was subjected to vicious torture, as were a lot of U.S. soldiers over there. He reportedly refused early release because to accept it would have violated the unwritten code of U.S. prisoners of war — “first in, first out” — and would have handed North Vietnam a public-relations coup. He once admitted that the sustained program of torture and abuse nearly broke him at one point, but in the end he thumbed his nose at his captors and emerged to talk about it. That’s fairly heroic stuff, in the normal course of military events, and McCain deserves praise for it, regardless of a generally accepted conclusion that we never should have been in that war in the first place. The problem here is that his actions during that idiotic war got him elected to the next-highest political job in this country — being a U.S. senator — a result that pumped him up to the point where he decided he should be elected president. Twice. We all remember his most recent presidential bid, in 2008, when his truly startling lack of sound political judgment was laid bare in his choice of a running mate, former Alaskan Gov. and GOP nutbag Sarah Palin, whose post-defeat career as a TV personality was so pathetic and poorly received that even Fox News dumped her a couple of months ago. What most voters may not recall is that some of McCain’s own brethren, under the name of Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain, in 2008 mounted an anti-McCain “swiftboating” campaign — the very same group did the same thing to Democrat John Kerry in 2004 — to revile McCain’s military record as a sham and undermine
his status as a military hero. According to published accounts, even some other POWs from the Vietnam War era feel that McCain is a shameless huckster who trots out his prisoner experience any time he wants attention or votes and a hothead whose violent temper renders him unsuitable for this country’s top political job. What this all boils down to is that Trump is just being himself: a rich windbag whose relationship with the truth is as shaky as his marital record. We should remember that this is not Trump’s first flirtation with presidential politics, although it is his first formal, official candidacy for the job. According to a USA Today summary published last month, Trump was first dragged into the presidential arena in 1987 by a GOP activist named Mike Dunbar, who thought the Republican field of candidates that year — Vice President George H.W. Bush and Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole of Kansas — were both “duds” who might actually turn the White House over to Massachusetts Democrat and political lame-o Mike Dukakis. Trump declined to take the bait, limiting himself to making occasional outrageous remarks that kept his name in the news. He made another feint at the title in 2000, when he would have faced religious-right darling Pat Buchanan as a possible independent candidate, but he backed out of that contest, too. In the run-up to the 2012 presidential race, after joining the ranks of the insane “birther” crowd that claimed then-candidate Barack Obama was born in Kenya and was a communist to boot, Trump again made noises about running but again backed away. This time, though, he’s in it for “real” — or as real as a flighty, self-obsessed megalomaniac can make it. And his incendiary remarks about McCain, like his earlier condemnation of Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug dealers, were just more of his bombast. I don’t believe Trump really thinks he can win; he simply has enough money to waste that he can view it as a game, a bit of fun. And it is another example of an earlier sentiment he expressed back in 1999, when he quit the Republican Party and declared, “I really believe the Republicans are just too crazy-right” — meant in the political sense rather than giving them credit for being correct about anything. As for what Trump really thinks, who the hell knows?

TONY SCHEER
INTRODUCING
With over 40 years of real estate experience as a Managing Broker-Owner in Aspen, Tony Scheer brings an invaluable depth of knowledge and wisdom to our team. As former president of the Aspen Rotary Club, the Aspen Ski & Snowboard Club and the Aspen Board of Realtors, Tony is truly dedicated to the community. Tony is a member of The Aspen Glen Club where he loves to ďŹ sh and play golf. He is also a member of The Elks Club. We sat down with Tony for a quick chat about his career and life outside of the real estate industry. How did you get started in real estate? After a 3-year stint as an aeronautical engineer in the USAF in Vietnam, I got started in real estate with the Snowmass Real Estate Company. 3 years later, I launched my own real estate company in Aspen, which I managed for the next 40+ years. What’s your favorite part of the job? I get a real kick out of showing property and land but my favorite part of the job is closing a deal with a happy customer. What’s your favorite area of the Roaring Fork Valley? ‘Ajax,’ aka Aspen Mountain or anywhere I can hike, hunt and y-ďŹ sh, especially in the Castle Creek river. I also love Missouri Heights; my wife Carolyn and I have lived in the home we built out there for the past 20 years. Do you have a favorite restaurant? Heathers in Basalt. I go there often for their good home-style cooking and great live music. What’s one thing people may be surprised to learn about you?
Contact Tony Cell: 970-379-0412 TScheer@WoodbridgeRealtyCO.com
Not sure there are any surprises left. It’s pretty well known that I love spending time with my wife and kids, their spouses and our 7 grandchildren more than anything. But maybe the fact that I know my way around a jet engine?

LEGENDS & LEGACIES
FROM the VAULT
by TIM WILLOUGHBY
Mike and Maggie Magnifico, second and third from left, after a day of skiing in 1946, with Fred Willoughby and his daughter Jeanne.
MAGGIE MAGNIFICO “Oh, Maggie!” my mother would say. She must have said it
often, because I remember it from my childhood. When I was young, my parents dragged me to their social gatherings. I remember little about what the elders were talking about, but I remember the tone.
They didn’t act ecstatic about good times — although those came along regularly — or despondent over their share of bad times. Nevertheless, I could tell when they were having riproaring fun. Maggie Magnifico was the most boisterous of the bevy of my mother’s favorite friends. Maggie, an Aspen native, encapsulated Aspen’s history to an even greater extent than did my mother. Maggie may have been the only person born in the Little Annie Basin. Many people lived in the basin from 1880 to 1925, but nearly all were men. Imagine growing up with one of the nation’s most beautiful views. But her childhood was not one to idolize. Winters were cold, the site was isolated, and she had more chores than a city child. As a young woman, Maggie married Louis Moutz sometime before the 1929 Stock Market Crash. Moutz was a son of a local rancher, and he made his living as a miner. He worked the Little Annie for W.H. Cornwall, who leased the property and extracted lower-grade ore from the upper levels of the mine with a new mill. After the market crashed, they moved to the Park Tunnel site

on the ridge of Aspen Mountain. The Park had constructed a tram and moved enough ore to stay in business. Maggie was widowed sometime in the early 1930s. I believe Moutz was killed in a mine accident.
married. They expanded the business to become Aspen’s first sports store. In 1941, they moved the store to Mill Street, where Frette is now, and lived in the second-floor apartment. During the early years of skiing, Ski
DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF SKIING, SKI CLUB MEMBERS PERSONALLY ATTENDED VISITORS TO WOO THEM TO RETURN AGAIN AND AGAIN. VISITORS FAVORED MIKE AND MAGGIE, WHO SERVED MANY A SPAGHETTI DINNER AT THEIR HOUSE, ONE OF THE FIRST HOMES BUILT AT THE BOTTOM OF RED MOUNTAIN IN 1950. THE MAGNIFICOS POURED PLENTY OF BOURBON TO LOOSEN EVEN THE MOST SHY GUESTS. THE GATHERINGS OF LOCALS AND VISITORS BUILT FOND MEMORIES. Mike Magnifico moved from Chicago to Aspen in 1936 to open a shoe-repair shop. His father lived in Aspen at one time, when he worked for the railroad. The move came at a good time, because the Aspen Ski Club began promoting skiing soon after his arrival. The town needed someone to make and repair ski boots. Both Maggie and Mike were active club members, and they soon
Jul y 23 - Jul y 29 , 2015
Club members personally attended visitors to woo them to return again and again. Visitors favored Mike and Maggie, who served many a spaghetti dinner at their house, one of the first homes built at the bottom of Red Mountain in 1950. The Magnificos poured plenty of bourbon to loosen even the most shy guests. The gatherings of locals and visitors built fond memories.
After the Aspen Ski Corp. began operations, Magnifico Sport Shop took off, and Maggie, childless, turned to community projects. She volunteered for the Chamber of Commerce information booth and the Thrift Shop, and she served on the advisory council for the fledgling music festival. Eventually, the Magnificos sold their store to Sandy Sabatini. In 1959, they opened Magnifico Liquors in what had been a small gift shop, The Tom Thumb, across the alley from their sport shop. That cinderblock box was barely large enough for a store, but the town was growing quickly, and it did not take long for the liquor store to become more profitable than the sport shop. Any list of personalities who built Aspen’s ski industry would have to include Maggie Magnifico, Aspen’s ambassador of vacation fun. 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.

SUMMER DAZE
1900 ASPEN
ON JULY 20, 1902, THE ASPEN DAILY TIMES SPECULATED ABOUT THE VIABILITY OF ASPEN a summer resort, citing a plan by Charles Miller to make Aspen the greatest summer resort on the Western Slope. As the paper noted, “Charles W. Miller is not only original but he is a genius. His latest is a scheme to make Aspen the most popular summer resort of the western slope, and possibly in all Colorado. Can it be done? Why, certainly. Nature has endowed Aspen with the finest summer and winter climate of any city in all the Rocky Mountain region. It’s altitude, 8000 feet, is just right — not too high for those tourists who desire to attain the giddy heights possible in Colorado’s mountainous region by easy stages; nor too low to insure that cool, delightful summer climate which brings the denizens of the sun-scorched east to Colorado in droves each succeeding summer, in search of health and a temperature conducive to longevity. Nowhere in the vast area of the mountainous districts of Colorado is there a more delightful, a more perfectly appointed spot for tourists to seek health, pleasure and relaxation than here in Aspen.” The image above is a lantern slide of Hallam Lake in the summer, looking east. There are two rowboats on the lake, and the town of Aspen is in the background. Circa 1900.

SUBSTANCE OVER STYLE: PATAGONIA MERINO AIR BASELAYER

www.patagonia.com
A BASE-LAYER RELEASE IN JULY may not be the most savvy marketing move. But apparently Patagonia couldn’t wait for what the brand is touting as “the world’s most advanced base layer” ever developed. Those are tall claims. But the Merino Air Baselayer product line, which goes on sale this week, appears to be something new. It consists of men’s and women’s pieces made of a wool-polyester blend put through a process I have not seen. What sets it apart? During manufacturing, the yarn is exposed to a type of highpressure air gun. The result is an “exploded” yarn that is soft and is stretchy in the hand. Put it on, and the fabric contours to your body, from the tight-fitting hood on down. It’s a seamless, stretchy fleece that immediately feels warm. But because of the “exploding” process, the fabric is highly breathable.

Like most Patagonia products, there is an environment back story. The company notes it sourced its wool from grasslands in Argentina using “regenerative agricultural practices” and that the garments are made with minimal fabric waste. I wore a hoody made of the stuff this week. It was too warm outside to test any of the cool-weather capabilities, but having the Merino Air Baselayer on did seem different. Compared with most merino-based tops I have worn, the Patagonia piece fit and felt more like a thin sweater, not like long underwear. The fabric is thin and super-stretchy. Pull on the sleeve, and hold it up to a light; the zigzag fabric pattern disappears to reveal an intricate knit web of pinprick holes — you can both feel and see the breathability of this top. Style comes second to performance.
The aqua-blue is a bold color choice, and wearing the face-framing hoody, I was compared to a Teletubby more than once. But warmth, breathability and wicking are more important than aesthetics with this product launch. Indeed, Patagonia, a business not known for product hyperbole, calls Merino Air a “breakthrough” and “like nothing else on market.” The company will sell the Merino Air line at its brand stores and online via Patagonia.com.

WINEINK
PAIRING AMERICAN CHEESE AND WINE EARLY ON A SUNDAY MORNING at the recent Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, a congregation of cheese lovers shuffled into a tent to hear nationally known cheese expert Laura Werlin deliver a sermon on pairing “American Cheese and Wine All Stars.” Their devotion to both the host and the subject bordered on KELLY J. HAYES the religious, and for the next 45 minutes the white tent next to the gondola became a veritable church of cheese. “Who loves cheese?” Werlin asked with a genuine twinkle in her eye. Over the next 45 minutes, she enthusiastically told tales of the great cheeses she had sourced specifically for this seminar from the obscure farms and towns that are home to some of America’s most passionate cheese artisans. From the Many Fold Farm sheep’s milk cheese Condor Ruin produced in the Chatahoochee Hills of northern Georgia to the Spring Day Blues cow’s milk cheese made at Durham, Maine’s Spring Day Creamery to the Challows goat’s milk cheese crafted in Northglenn by the De La Chiva Dairy, Werlin took her followers on a coast-tocoast journey. As she told tales of the people who made the cheese and the cows, sheep and goats from which they came, it was easy to imagine her in overalls and big rubber boots in the milking rooms of myriad small farms. But here, in her curls and sundress before the assembled, she also spoke of great, sophisticated wines made by the best producers in California. Pinot noir from the Sonoma Coast, cabernet from Paso Robles and sparkling wines from the North Coast were all paired to perfection with cheeses from these obscure American barnyards. It is this ability to make magical pairings from these diverse places and then tell the stories of why they mingle so well that makes Werlin’s congregation so devout. Still, she swears that anyone can put together great wine-and-cheese

events if they just follow a few simple rules. “You know we are really lucky here in Aspen (Werlin has a home in town) to have such great cheese available,” Werlin said. “Between the selections at Meat & Cheese, the Murray’s cheese counter in City Market and Whole Foods in Basalt, you can get amazing cheese.” So if you want to do a cheeseand-wine-pairing party, what is the best way to go about it? I posed that question to Werlin recently and, as is her custom, got a veritable A-to-Z answer. “First, figure out if you want to start with the wine or the cheese,” she began. “Do you want to raid your cellar and then pair some cheese with that big California cab that you have been holding or maybe open an Oregon pinot gris? Or do you want to get some cheese at, say, Meat & Cheese and then go over to Of Grape and Grain and get some wine that works with the cheese?” Either way, she had some tips. “If you want to go with that big red, then choose an English-style cloth-bound or bandage-wrapped cheddar, such as Cabot Clothbound and Montgomery’s Cheddar,” she said. “The Cabot is available at Whole Foods, Meat & Cheese and likely Murray’s at City Market, as well. The Montgomery’s is available at Meat & Cheese. Wrapped Goat Cheddar is another great choice.” For a crisper white wine, Werlin suggests inherently tangy cheeses like young goat and sheep’s milk cheeses. “Some great choices include Cypress Grove’s Humboldt Fog or the Bonne Bouche, from Vermont Butter & Cheese, both of which you can find in City Market or Whole Foods. And, believe it or not, many blue cheeses such as St. Agur or Fourme d’Ambert from France or Stilton can work well,” she said. Generally speaking, the whiter the cheese (a cheese that has not been aged long), the lighter the wine. And for sweet, dessert-style wines? “Stay with the blue or washedrind cheeses. Anything that qualifies as stinky. You want that contrast of sweet and salt.” In selecting cheeses, Werlin
suggests that you stick with what you know but be a bit adventurous, as well. “If you don’t know anything about cheese, let some of your food preferences guide you,” she said. “Do you like rich, creamy sauces? Then chances are you’ll like rich, creamy cheeses. Think triple-creams like Explorateur, St. Andre or Cowgirl Creamery’s Mt. Tam.” Prefer spicy foods? “Then you might like cheeses with a little more kick, including blue cheeses,” Werlin said. Once you have decided on your cheeses, there are a few more things to consider. “Less is more. Don’t worry about buying a bunch of cheeses (more than five) and opening up your entire cellar. If you’re really wanting to learn how to pair cheese and wine, then whittle it down to just a few of each. You’ll learn more, and you’ll actually have more fun,
because it won’t be confusing,” she said. And how much wine and cheese should you have? Well, it depends on how many people you are having and how much they drink. Plan on at least half a bottle of wine per person or more if they are big drinkers. And for cheese? “For hors d’oeuvres, plan on 1 to 2 ounces of each cheese per person, and offer no more than three cheeses,” Werlin said. “For a full-fledged cheese-and-wine party in which almost no other food is being served, then depending on the number of cheeses you’re serving, then plan on 2 to 3 ounces of each cheese per person. Good cheese is fulfilling.” Hallelujah! Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and black Lab, Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.

THE COUNTDOWN IS ON
MUST-DOS BEFORE SUMMER ENDS THIS PAST WEEKEND, I came to a startling realization: June and July have come and gone. One would think that was incredibly apparent. But summer gets so busy that when you actually get a chance to stop and smell the flowers, you realize that there aren’t many left to smell. We have so many grand plans in May. We have a list of objectives for the warmer months, BARBARA a stream of endless PLATTS possibilities to conquer before the cold settles in for winter again and the only true goal is to get more ski days than your neighbor. But after the hangover of Food & Wine, the intellectual thrills of the Ideas Fest, impressive patriotism of July 4th and the solitude of maybe one camping trip (if you’re lucky), suddenly we get to the beginning of August. With dwindling summer days left, make sure to plan your time wisely. Just in case you need more ideas for things to do in August and (if weather permits) September, continue reading. If you have too much on your plate and don’t need even one more idea for something fun to do, then stop reading.

HIKE A 14ER Whether you’ve summited nearly all of them or never even been at the trailhead of one before, take a day to hike a 14,000-foot plus peak. It’s a challenging experience and a great way to get to know a beautiful part of Colorado.
DINE OUTSIDE ON THE MALL There’s nothing I enjoy more than splitting a bottle of wine with a good friend or family member over a tasty dinner, except if that dining experience can be enjoyed on a nice summer evening in downtown Aspen. Choose a few good friends, a favorite restaurant and a warm day and make a reservation for dinner. Hopefully some of the Aspen Musich Festival and School students will be out on the mall performing.
SUP STILLWATER Give into the Stand-up paddleboard trend. It’s popular for a reason. A great spot for beginners to experts is Stillwater up Independence Pass. The area is peaceful and beautiful. Just make sure to pick up your trash. We haven’t had the best reputation for doing that recently and we don’t want to lose access to such a great area because we can’t clean up after ourselves.

However, make sure to follow the rules (which I outlined in my column two weeks ago, go to aspentimes. com for more information). Now that I’ve given you even more to put on your summer schedule I must bid you ado. There isn’t enough of the summer season left for me to keep sitting in front of my computer writing about how there’s not enough time left in the summer. And there most certainly isn’t enough time for you to keep reading about the fact that there isn’t enough time left. SO GET OUT THERE AND HAVE SOME FUN.

YUCKY STRIKE
POOR SERVICE: THE HIGH PRICE OF LIVING IN A RESORT TOWN? A CHEF, a wine dealer and a writer walk into a patio bar in Aspen. It’s Wednesday at 9:22 p.m., and the candlelit, 40-seat space is on the mellow side of dead, with just a few ladies bantering over dessert wine and three figures posted up at the bar. The trio lounges beneath a heat lamp for more than 10 minutes before any passing server acknowledges their AMANDA RAE presence. During this time, the writer makes eye contact with the bartender — who walks on by without a word and disappears through a service door. Eventually, a server arrives. “Cocktails?” he asks. “Yeah,” the guests answer in unison, already huddled over the only beverage menu discovered among the low-slung teak tables. “May I check your IDs?” Sure, the 30ish writer thinks, opening her purse. The petite wine dealer — who happens to supply this particular restaurant as well as dine here regularly — unzips her bag, too. She also emits a quick, high-pitched “Hmh?” in surprise — a misstep, as is soon made clear. “Well, then, I can’t serve you,” snaps the server in a clipped Australian accent, her response reeking of finality. But the wine dealer produces a driver’s license, indeed, which is deemed satisfactory beneath the harsh, awkward glow of a smartphone light. The writer — on assignment to sample a specific dish for a food story in a local magazine — asks if the kitchen is still serving food. Though at 9:30 and with a bustling indoor dining room, the question is more like a not-so-subtle hint for the server to deliver dinner menus, stat. Again, the server whips out her phone dramatically to check the time. Yep, the kitchen is still open! “We also have a few specials this evening,” the server announces, depositing menus on the table —
THINKSTOCK PHOTO
then turning on a heel and stalking away. “So, uh, is she going to tell us what those specials are?” the journalist mutters. It continues. The oenophile orders a $15 glass of Barbera. “I’ll have the same,” commands the scribe. When the server returns, however, she deposits a single glass on the table. “Which Barbera did you want again?” she asks. The writer flips open the wine list to find a single Barbera listed by the glass. Puzzled, she points to the name and repeats it to the server, who nods and turns away. To the shock and awe of our hapless guests, the server then picks up a pre-poured glass of wine from the bar in full view and returns, in seconds, to place the glass on the table in front of the wine expert. It’s red wine, alright, but in a white-wine glass clearly a third smaller than the first glass. A few sips, and consensus is clear: This is an entirely different wine. Best professional guess: Sangiovese. Despite the waiting, despite the brusque and bored behavior of the Australian server, despite her grand faux pas of blatantly attempting to pass off a prepoured glass of the wrong wine to a table of diners who must appear too young to know any better, the group is on a mission for a food story. So, they order three appetizers — which, it should be noted, cost upward of $25 apiece. The complimentary bread they beg for arrives with a sigh and without the customary plate of olive oil. Not a huge slip-up, as they know the server is lackadaisical — and besides, isn’t everyone and their sister gluten-free now? — but annoying nevertheless. Dishes are deposited on the table. When the writer calls the server back for a third place setting, the server glances at the chef and scolds him playfully for not allowing the females to tuck in first. But the writer, having already eaten a few bites in the few minutes
she tried to flag down said server to make the request, is quick to correct her. Furthermore, it’s none of the server’s damn business who eats first; please bring a third place setting; can she handle that? Later, the trio details these grievances to the restaurant manager: the wine snafu, the lackluster food — grossly underseasoned and desperate for a hit of acid — and the Aussie’s sour attitude and icky incompetence. He apologizes, comments on the difficulty of finding quality staff and tosses forth a business card, presumably to avert any negative press. Dessert? No, thank you. The server skulks to the table with the check. “I bought you a glass of wine,” she says before mumbling something about confusion due to a big party inside. No joke, she says that as if it is a gift. The punch line to this story? The bill for three small plates, two glasses of wine — one of which was incorrect and comped by management — and an hour of neglect and disdain tops $100. Stories like this beg the question: Is this the price of living in a resort town? Does a largely seasonal — and often imported
and thus transient — workforce translate to shoddy service, especially to local folks who may appear young, broke and otherwise “unimportant”? Every customer, regardless of background, should be treated with the same amount of attention and respect, but that’s just not the case. Here’s an interesting twist, though: A study published in the Journal of Consumer Research discovered that rudeness by a luxury salesperson could cause shoppers to spend more money. The tendency to pay up in the face of rejection occurred mostly with “aspirational brands,” such as Burberry, Gucci and Louis Vuitton. Perhaps a highfalutin restaurant is a slightly different scenario, because diners are generally a captive audience, but the result is the same. However, the study of snobbish salespeople ends with good news. The effect, researchers found, is fleeting. Buyers were less favorable toward the brand and thus less likely to return than they had been at the beginning of the study. Check, please!

VOYAGES
ESCAPE ARTIST | LOS DORADOS DE VILLA
A TRUE CELEBRATION: LOS DORADOS DE VILLA
ON JUNE 26, 1913, the famous Gen. Francisco “Pancho” Villa, also called the “Centaur of the North,” formed a rural guard of personal bodyguards that he called the “Dorados,” or Golden Ones. Not only were they elite soldiers, but they were also totally dedicated to his protection. Villa handpicked the soldiers for this very tough job and most of them died in various battles. This took place in the town of Ascención, which is about a one-hour drive south of the border crossing between Columbus, New Mexico, and Palomas, Mexico. On Friday, June 26, Ascención celebrated the 102nd anniversary of this important event. I was there because the following Saturday, June 27, I had been invited to attend a meeting of mayors and municipal presidents of towns from Silver City, New Mexico, in
the north, to Nuevo Casas Grandes in the south. These 11 towns are working together to improve the economy throughout their area, especially tourism and — why not? — events like this celebration. Their project is named the Mimbres-Paquimé Connection and is a superb example of both crossborder cooperation and of small communities taking charge of their economic futures. I went a day early and, therefore, had the opportunity to see the historical importance of Villa in this part of the state of Chihuahua and the rich history of towns like tiny Ascención (pop. 15,000) — things that are basically unknown in the United States. The celebration began with a visit to the cemetery where three soldiers who were wounded in the attack of Villa’s men on Columbus, New Mexico, on March 9, 1916, are buried. After the battle they were brought back to Ascención, where they died.
There was a cavalcade of riders with us because this is cowboy, or “vaquero,” country. The leader was Cipriano Gutierrez, a bow-legged local vaquero dressed as Pancho Villa,including a fake mustache that was glued to his lip. After the ceremony in the cemetery, we went to the central plaza in a cavalcade with the riders, a band from Palomas and even soldiers with a machine gun. (Ascención had been quite dangerous with an average of three kidnappings a month back in 2010; this completely changed, however, when eight kidnappers tried to abduct a girl from a seafood restaurant called Mariscos Lolo and local citizens chased them and killed two.) Waiting for us in the central plaza were two groups of young dancers, the men dressed as soldiers and the women in dresses of brilliant colors. Then a tremendous rainstorm poured down so we had to make a sudden retreat to the Centro Social where the whole community prepared the auditorium for the performances. Even Mayor Sergio Gonzalez pitched in and wiped off the wet plastic chairs with a towel. “I’m responsible for this being a
success,” he said nervously. Then there were dances, singing, and the recognition of important visitors like Ruben Parra, the municipal president of nearby Janos. The male dancers were dressed like “Dorados” and Cipriano, the “Pancho Villa” gave them each a rifle (a fake one made of wood). Then they danced with their “novias,” a farewell dance before leaving for the war. For the real Dorados 102 years ago, it was probably their last dance because almost all of them were killed. But one, Capt. Guillermo Reyes Flores, lived to be 116 years old and finally died in November 2014. Francisco Villa Campa, a grandson of Villa’s, came to his funeral and said a few words on his behalf. This Dorados de Villa celebration was beautiful, emotional and well worth seeing but having been the only “Anglo” there, I’m sure that it is totally unknown in the United States. Where did the name “Dorados,” or golden, come from? From the gold with which they were paid? Or because of the insignia they wore on their hats? The historians I met there said it was the insignia.

The following day was the Mimbres-Paquimé Connection meeting of the mayors and municipal presidents. Shortly beforehand, however, I had my own run-in with the local police. I went to the restaurant Mariscos Lolo to photograph the sign on the side of the building. A man came out and I explained what I was doing and that I didn’t want him in the shot. Shortly thereafter, the police pulled me over and four officers surrounded my car, claiming that I had taken his photo without permission. However, when I showed them the photo and, more important, my invitation to the Mimbres-Paquimé Connection meeting, we suddenly became best friends. The fact is that this region of Mexico has changed dramatically in the last three to four years. I feel no apprehension whatsoever in driving to towns like Ascención. The local history is extraordinarily rich, even though largely unknown. It’s my hope that these local officials from small towns in both countries will help open up this
part of Mexico to us Americans. If so, maybe I won’t be the only Anglo at next year’s 103d anniversary of the Dorados de Villa.

MAGIC, MUSIC AND OTHER ENTERTAINMENT WOO VISITORS TO ASPEN’S DOWNTOWN PEDESTRIAN MALLS by JEANNE MCGOVERN
ASPEN OFTEN TOUTS THE POWER OF FOUR, AS IN THE POWER OF ITS FOUR SKI MOUNTAINS. But in summer, a different “power of four” can be found — four downtown city blocks, with four different characters holding court, all doing their shtick in the same four-hour window. These are Aspen’s street performers (and yes, there are more than four of them), and they are much of what makes Aspen, well, Aspen. “The downtown experience is an essential part of why visitors and locals alike enjoy Aspen,” says Julia Theisen, vice president of sales and marketing for the Aspen Chamber Resort Association. “During the summer months, the clowns, magicians, and music students bring music and vibrancy to our historic and charming downtown, creating a welcoming atmosphere for those out for a stroll or dining al fresco. We love to see our pedestrian malls alive on a summer night adding to the vitality that Aspen offers.” Of course for Merlin the Magic Man, who sets up shop on the Hyman Avenue Mall every summer, it’s really about freedom. “My only question — how free can you be if you are a slave to anything?” His fellow buskers seem to share the sentiment. Here are a few of their stories.

A DIFFERENT TWIST “Do you want a heart? A unicorn? A princess heart, maybe?” asks Cory, “the balloon man,” who’s parked himself and his cart of brightly colored balloons on a brick wall by the Wagner Park playground. The young girl standing before him can’t decide; she wants them all. In every color. But finally she chooses the latter — a pink heart on a long lavender wand. Cory twists the first balloon; it makes a farting noise. “Oh, excuse me,” he says, making the clown hat atop his head bob around wildly. The girl giggles softly, and then begins to laugh — loudly. And so do her older sister and mother. Everyone loves a balloon animal, it seems. “It’s a good gig,” says Cory, who lives in Arizona and is studying greenhouse technology management but travels in summer to help support his children (ages, 4, 3 and 1). “I’ve been doing this
SNOWMASS SCENE While day-to-day life in Base Village and on the Snowmass Village Mall might feel different than on Aspen’s pedestrian malls, there is still plenty of messy vitality to be found — especially during the Thursday night free concerts on Fanny Hill, the Sunday Farmers’ Market, and other special events. In fact, at all of these events, locals and visitors are sure to find a few street performers and other types of entertainers to keep things lively. “These ‘characters’ add charm, friendliness and fun to the Snowmass community and to the guest experience,” says Rose Abello, director of Snowmass Tourism. “And, their presence helps further our family-friendly brand.”
for 25 years and it’s a great way to make money.” In fact, Cory has circled the globe twisting balloons and entertaining crowds. In Europe, where he spent 10 years, the profits were greater. But now, as a family man, he’s chosen to stay closer to home. This marks his fourth summer stint in Aspen. “I used to go to Boulder, to the Pearl Street Mall, until the police started cracking down; it’s like balloon guys become felons down there. “But I do love Aspen.” Part of the reason, he says, is the money (of course), but also the freedom it offers him. “When my family comes out, we rent a condo in Snowmass; otherwise, I just go where I can. And then, when the season is over, I go back home,” he says. “It sure beats $8 an hour doing construction in the blazing Arizona weather.” The busker life in Aspen: “No fuss, no muss,” Cory concludes.
ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK You can’t miss Daniel Mooncalf on the downtown malls — or anywhere for that matter. And that’s by design. When Mooncalf (yes, it’s a stage name) first began his street performing career, he needed to capture the crowd’s attention. Kansas City, where he is from, didn’t have a pedestrian mall where a crowd could easily congregate. “I needed something, and this orange outfit was on sale,” he says. “And it worked.” And from that point on, Mooncalf has worn orange — from head to toe (including some crazy pointy shoes and a matching bucket hat). Exchange just a few words with Mooncalf and his affinity for all things different — and dramatic — is quickly apparent. His name, Mooncalf: “It means fool; it’s from Shakespeare.” His favorite trick: “The Professor’s Nightmare” (three ropes that appear to continually change length). His home: “My van, of course.” His other wardrobe: “Well, I have an long orange coat and pointy hat for the Renaissance Festival.” And when Mooncalf opens his trunk of tricks, filled with magic of all sorts, his offbeat sense of humor charms the crowd. “I’ve always been a theater person; I’ve always been a performer,” says Mooncalf, who first came to Aspen upon the advice of Jeep, a beloved Aspen street performer who now plays bigger stages in bigger cities. Of course Mooncalf didn’t set out to be a busker, but his first profession — as a nurse — just wasn’t suited for him. “It was depressing; you’re supposed to learn to turn off that part of yourself that is devastated when someone is sick or dies,” he explains. “That’s not me; I like to be happy. I like to make people happy. Being a performer gives me the freedom to do that.”

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC? Ask Merlin the Magic Man what he does and his reply is as esoteric as he is: “I exist.” By that, Merlin — who has worked the Hyman Avenue Mall for a dozen summers — means he sets up a small table, with a deck of cards, and entertains passersby with some serious sleight-of-hand. “Pick a card,” he says, with a glean in his squinty eyes, which are hidden behind rimmed glasses and flanked by a long white beard and black hat, topped off with an emblazoned flowing jacket. A card is chosen and mysteriously disappears from the deck; it reappears in his pocket or behind an ear or out of thin air. “How did you do that?” people ask. “Yup, that’s what they all say ... and I say I live by magic,” Merlin says, choosing to reveal little about his life, except that after three months of “work” he takes the rest of the year “off.” “It’s my way of doing things; I do OK and I live from the heart.”
Merlin is also a wordsmith. His book of poetry sits beside his magic tricks; he’ll happily recite any of them at any time. “I love to make people happy; magic and poetry make people happy,” he says, going on to read the poem “Freedom.” “That is what it’s all about, my friend,” he says, wrapping up that moment’s performance.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC On Trinidad, steel drums create a distinctly Caribbean beat. It fits; Trinidad is, after all, a Caribbean island. In Brooklyn, the sound is replicated. It fits, though differently; it is Carnival weekend and celebrations with an international flair are everywhere, after all. In Aspen, the music from one steel drum rises above the din. The Hyman Avenue Mall, near the Dancing Fountain, is alive with sounds. But this one is new.
“When you have a lot of these together, the sound is outrageous, infectious,” says Russell Fisher, a 20-year-old studying percussion with the Aspen Music Festival and School this summer. So Fisher, who is a student at NYU, wants others to hear the sounds and experience the joy of this music. It works — people come out of their downtown offices to listen, a wide-eyed boy politely asks if he can try (and Fisher obliges), tourists throw a few bucks in the open drum case beside him. “This has been an amazing experience ... the music school, playing on the mall,” he says. Which is exactly the point. “A great thing students take home from their experience in Aspen is a sense of how much the community values them. A person walking down the street in new York carrying a cello doesn’t get much notice, much less encouragement, but in Aspen, someone is likely to stop them and say something welcoming,” says Alan Fletcher, president and CEO of the Aspen Music Festival and School. “This is even more memorable when that student sets up a music stand and plays — the feeling of being appreciated and even honored is very precious.” It is also an amazing gift to Aspen’s summer scene, as the sounds of music — from classical to Caribbean — can be heard on almost every street corner. “This works both ways, as passersby are reminded how much the musicians do for Aspen’s summer feeling and economy,” says Fletcher. “The sound of wonderful music being made fills the town, not just the tent. Kids will associate the sound and sight of musicians with Paradise Bakery, which is definitely a good thing for the future of classical music.” jmcgovern@aspentimes.com

BUSKER BUSINESS The dictionary defines a busker as “a person who entertains in a public place for donations.” Simple enough, with folks doings acts ranging from juggling and magic tricks to strumming a guitar and stuffing oneself in a box. In Colorado, such street performers have historically been seen in the cities; Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall and Denver’s 16th Street Mall are still bustling with buskers today. In fact, someone recently spotted a “statue man” — street performers who paint themselves from head-to-toe in some theme (this particular gentleman was a cowboy, complete with Stetson, holster and chaps) and stand perfectly still until a passerby stops for a photo — in downtown Denver over the lunch hour and, later the same afternoon, on the mall in Boulder. But traveling entertainers have also been a part of Aspen’s history. From “The Crack Bicycle Rider” in 1898 to Jeep and his
tight-rope walking dog and other modern-day acts a century later, the downtown malls were designed to create “messy vitality” in the town’s core. In fact, on the 35th anniversary of the pedestrian malls in 2011, The Aspen Times reported that even this wasn’t the town’s first attempt at creating a pedestrian-friendly gathering place. “It was 50 years ago this summer that the town experimented with a temporary mall, when the town fathers agreed to close a city street for a 10-day period in August, installing benches, shrubs and trees, art exhibits and sidewalk cafes. The block of Cooper Avenue that is a mall today was chosen for the test run after a few businessmen objected to the use of Hyman Avenue. Theatrical and musical entertainment was planned, along with film showings, fashion
shows and dancing demonstrations, to attract pedestrians. The idea, to create a ‘city center,” sprang from an Aspen Institute seminar on the future of Aspen. A dozen years would pass before Aspen took another stab at creating a central gathering place. This time, it would stick, thanks to the perseverance of two Aspen High School students and an amenable local populace. Kathy “Katie” Dutcher remembers returning to Aspen for her 20th high school reunion and seeing the malls for the first time as an intrinsic part of the downtown core. “It was pretty remarkable to walk around and see them pretty much institutionalized,” she said. “We didn’t envision it to be maybe quite as gorgeous as it is now, but we did envision it to be a comfortable pedestrian space in the middle of Aspen,” Margo Dick said. “I just love it.”

by MAY SELBY
RIVER RENDEZVOUS
MAY SELBY
SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO, Roaring Fork Conservancy Director Jeanne Beaudry asked founding board member Bill Gruenberg how a new nonprofit could be successful in raising funds. Bill responded by arranging a meeting between Jeanne and his wife, Joyce, who had significant fundraising experience. The River Rendezvous was the brainchild of that meeting and is still going strong today. The basic format remains â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have a special dinner party, preferably beside the
river, with live and silent auctions. Over the years, they have refined the details for what continues to be a very successful gathering, adding unexpected elements such as a helicopter tour over Ruedi Reservoir some of those years and fly-fishing and trout releases in the Frying Pan for all to enjoy. Funds raised at their now 16 River Rendezvous benefits thus far have exceeded $3.5 million dollars, all directed to programs to protect our rivers, keep water in our rivers,
monitor water quality, and preserve riparian habitat. The Gruenbergs were recognized at the most recent River Rendezvous on July 15, presented with the Robert Billingsley River Conservator Award. Guests enjoyed hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres and dinner from Aspen Skiing Company, live music from Bo Hale Treatment and more. For more information, visit www.roaringfork.org.

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE

TAYLOR SWIFT VS. APPLE WHEN THE BEST-SELLING MUSICIAN in the world decided to do battle with the world’s most valuable company last month, Scott Borchetta was stuck in the crossfire. But he came out unscathed, Borchetta recalled recently at the annual Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference in Aspen. The Big Machine Records founder, best known for discovering Taylor Swift, was in the midst of negotiating with Apple executives on royalty payments from Apple’s new music-streaming service when Swift — unexpectedly — posted a blog criticizing the payment plan and vowing her album “1989” wouldn’t be included on the service. Apple Music planned to pay no royalties to musicians for tracks streamed during its free, three-month trial period. During his talks with Apple’s Eddy Cue and Jimmy Iovine, Borchetta received a text from Swift. It read, “Don’t be mad,” and included a link to her blog post. The unexpected, very public salvo from Swift gave Borchetta — and, it turns out, musicians worldwide — some key leverage. “I said, ‘Here’s the good news,’” Borchetta recalled. “‘You haven’t launched yet. You can still do the right thing. And if you do the right thing, the artist community globally (is) going to look at you as the good guys. It’s a rare opportunity to do something for the greater good.’” Swift’s blog drew worldwide attention and forced Apple’s hand to pay artists from the start when Apple Music launched June 30, chalking up a rare battle win for musicians in the ongoing war with online streaming services and tech disruption. Despite the Apple win (some would say win-win, as the company has gotten its share of good press for deferring to artists), Borchetta is still battling Spotify and its founder, Daniel Ek, to change its model, which pays a much lower royalty rate for spins on its free service than its less popular premium one. Like many in the music industry, Borchetta and Swift — who pulled her music from
COURTESY PHOTOS
Spotify last year — are lobbying the service to stop putting all music on its free, ad-supported service. Borchetta predicted Spotify “will implode on itself ” and suggested a hybrid model, where lesser-known artists seeking exposure would stay on the free version while bigger ones such as Swift would keep their music behind a premium paywall. “(Ek has) got to realize that if he doesn’t support this community, we’re not going to support him,” Burchetta said. Of course, most musicians don’t have the industrial clout that Swift has. Scooter Braun, the young talent manager and label owner who brought us Justin Bieber (and who is a Spotify investor), said the music industry will lose if it keeps fighting new technology, pointing to the industry-building technology of radio a century ago and the advent of Napster that crippled the industry at the turn of the millennium. “Our entire industry was created by technology. … Every time we try to fight technology, it kicks our ass and
it shifts,” he said. Braun, who found Bieber on YouTube and signed him, offered some insight into the 21st-century world of artist discovery and talent scouting, where he’s as likely find the next big thing online as he is in a coffee-shop open mic or a music club. Braun recalled receiving an email from a friend in 2012 with a link to Psy’s “Gangnam Style” video. The sender meant it as a joke, but Braun saw dollar signs. “I said, ‘We should sign him!’” he recalled. “I went to a lot of parties when I was a kid, and this is ‘The Macarena.’ This is ‘Cotton Eye Joe.’ I know what this is.” He apparently knows what he’s talking about. The YouTube video had about 60,000 views when Braun saw it. It went on to become the
first YouTube clip to top 1 billion views. And these days it induces about as many groans as “The Macarena” or “Cotton Eye Joe” when it comes on. atravers@aspentimes.com

NOTEWORTHY
‘THE HIGH DIVIDE’ AS “THE HIGH DIVIDE” OPENS IN 1886, Gretta Pope’s husband, Ulysses, a U.S. Army veteran, has been missing for six weeks, leaving her with two sons to raise, past-due rent and no idea about where he might have gone or when he’ll be back. An odious landlord begins to circle Gretta, demanding payment in more than money. Then Gretta’s son, 16-year-old Eli, intercepts a letter to his father from a woman in Bismarck, North Dakota, suggesting that Ulysses recently visited her. Eli sneaks out of the family home in Sloan’s Crossing, Minnesota, and hops a freight train west to find his father, but his sickly 9-year-old brother guesses his plan and follows. Meanwhile, Gretta embarks on her own travels and investigations. Minnesota novelist Lin Enger switches to the perspective of a different family member in each chapter,

updating us on their individual odysseys and making it clear that the members of this family love one another deeply and want to be together, even though their lack of communication has split them apart and left them racked by doubts about everything. The boys and Gretta are astonished to learn that Ulysses re-enlisted after the Civil War and served in Custer’s 7th Cavalry Regiment, which was notorious for killing women and children in Indian villages. Ulysses’ recent erratic behavior appears to spring from his secret past; he clearly is haunted by something that happened when he was in the military. As she seeks her husband, Gretta rebukes herself for not delving into Ulysses’ past sooner: “If only she had been able to summon the strength to draw the poison out of Ulysses. … But she had been raised to believe that a man’s burdens were meant for him

alone to carry.” In “The High Divide,” the West is swiftly transforming from a savage, bloodthirsty land into a settled place where the only remnants of the bygone, unfettered West are the buffalo bones that litter the prairie, which men scavenge for quick money. And yet this changing land will serve as a proving ground for Ulysses’ growing sons. In clear, vivid prose, Enger describes the family’s journeys, expanding the story of the search for one man into an investigation of the West’s conscience at a time when men had recently decimated its native people and fauna and were just beginning to reap the consequences. In the process, he tells a tender story of love, sorrow and the quest for redemption.
