Aspen has had its share of controversies over development, from the construction of Boogie’s Diner to the Ritz-Carlton, but the new Aspen Art Museum is arguably scaling new heights in terms of community polarization. Reporter Andrew Travers and photographer Lynn Goldsmith got a sneak peek of the new museum, billed as world-class by not only its CEO but the Colorado governor, as well.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

BENEFIT A TRIO OF MUSIC GREATS are getting together for a good cause in Aspen on Aug. 10, playing to benefit their four-legged friends. Legendary singersongwriter Emmylou Harris, Woody Creeker and recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee John Oates, and Grammy winner Shawn Colvin will play an intimate show at the Aspen District Theatre benefiting Friends of the Aspen Animal Shelter and Harris’ Bonaparte’s Retreat Dog Resuce. The benefit is modeled after the showcases at the 7908 Aspen Songwriters’ Festival and Nashville, Tenn.’s “Songwriters in the Round” series, including storytelling, solo performances and — we can hope — some group collaboration. Harris founded Bonaparte’s Retreat in 2004, in honor of her beloved dog, who accompanied her on the road for 11 years. The Aspen Animal Shelter opened its new building off Highway 82 in 2006 and has expanded its reach in the years since — boasting 15,000 pet sterilizations and 1,800 rescue adoptions, with spay/neuter programs and pet-medication distribution reaching across the Western Slope, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona. The all-star lineup playing the high school theater includes a 13-time Grammy winner in Harris; half of the iconic duo Hall and Oates in Oates, who has been touring recently with that band and releasing new solo music with his “Good Road to Follow” project; and a master of the songwriting craft in Colvin, whose most recent album is 2012’s “All Fall Down.” Tickets range from $50 to $350 and are available at www.aspenshowtix.com. The show begins at 7 p.m. on Aug. 10.

Emmylou Harris is teaming with John Oates and Shawn Colvin for a concert Aug. 10 benefitting the Aspen Animal Shelter and Bonaparte’s Retreat Dog Rescue.

Aug u st 7 - Aug u st 13, 2014

IT LOOKS LIKE JOHN HICKENLOOPER has officially broken his long losing streak. Yes, there had been signs of the old Hick recently. He told his terrible shark joke the other day. He played banjo and sang with Old Crow Medicine Show at Red Rocks. But still, people wondered. Liberals were mad at him over fracking. Conservatives were mad over guns and the death penalty. The moderates? Everyone likes a winner, and suddenly Hick was tied — yes, tied — with Bob Beauprez in the polls, which people were saying was an occasion for embarrassment. We watched it all happen. Hick lost on education and taxes. He lost on recalls. His special session gambit failed. His WTF speech with the sheriffs was more than an embarrassment. It made people wonder if the old Hick, who almost never lost, would ever return. Wasn’t he (as, blush, one columnist had called him) the luckiest man since Ringo? Had his luck really run out? Well, that was then. That was before Aug. 4, when the Colorado political world moved. It was a frack-quake, but not the bad kind. In crafting a last-minute fracking compromise, Hickenlooper may not have pulled off the impossible, but he definitely produced the unlikely. He had gotten the center to hold, and Hickenlooper will tell you that when the center holds, all else is right in his world. To get it done, all he had to do was to bring together the oil-and-gas industry, the major environmentalists, the Denver business community, Jared Polis and Frank McNulty. Yep, that’s all. How’d he do it? I guess we’ll learn that in the memoirs. But we can piece together a few things now. First, he had to persuade the oil people that they were taking an absurd gamble in playing the initiative game. What if they lost? And even if they won, after spending $20 million or more, wouldn’t the fracktivists be back next year and the year after? After all, this wasn’t just some issue to be negotiated on the fracktivist side. This was a cause — and a righteous one. And in a bottom-line game, the oil people had to step back from the ideological ledge and let someone else jump. Second, Hickenlooper had to persuade Polis that Polis had backed himself into a corner and that only Hickenlooper knew the way out. The oil people were going to make Polis the bad guy. They were going to kick him around, figuring that there’s nothing that your typical voter likes to kick around more than your typical rich guy libertarian liberal. The polls showed the initiatives could go either way. And there was more. The Democratic Congressional

Campaign Committee — leaned heavily on Polis, who has ambitions to be a player in the House. What concerned the Democrats was not the TV money so much but the money that would be used to get out the Republican vote. And if those Democrats in tough races — Mark Udall and Andrew Romanoff, for starters — were to lose, Polis would take much of the blame. Third, Hickenlooper knew that if he could take the money out of the picture, then the initiatives would be gone, too. The default position on all initiatives is to vote against. Without millions of dollars of annoying TV commercials, you’re very unlikely to win. Fourth, he had to make sure that all the important players could claim victory. This was especially important in Polis’ case, because he was clearly the loser. But Polis got Hick to drop the Longmont lawsuit, although it’s unclear where that leaves local control. Oil got ... richer. In case you’re wondering who’s the winner in this fight, it’s the same people who win in every fight. According to Bloomberg, this was seen as a huge win in the oil world. The two major Colorado producers both won on the Stock Exchange — Noble Energy gaining 5.2 percent on the day while Anadarko Petroleum had to settle for 4.8 percent. Meanwhile, the mainstream environmental groups, which are pushing hard for Udall, got cover for privately pressuring Polis by saying they supported the initiatives that are no longer there. And McNulty, who co-sponsored one of the pro-oil initiatives, told the Denver Post, “We are celebrating our victory and withdrawing (Initiative) 121.” His victory was apparently oil’s victory, which turns out to be the Democrats’ victory, which is clearly Hickenlooper’s victory. So, go figure. No one figured on this. Hickenlooper had made these same arguments when he was pushing for a special session, and Polis didn’t budge, and the oil companies didn’t budge. It may not have been certain what impact the anti-fracking initiatives would have in November, but what was clear was that Democrats were nervous and the Republicans were not. Still, Hick got his deal in the end. And so, with the Great Colorado Fracking Wars Compromise, the issue goes to a committee and doesn’t resurface until next year, long after the elections. And whatever happens next, Hickenlooper’s winning streak is now definitely in play. Mike Littwin is a former columnist for the Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post. He currently writes for ColoradoIndependent.com, and his work regularly appears Sundays in The Aspen Times.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Walter Susskind conducts the Aspen Festival Orchestra in the mid1960s.

WALTER SUSSKIND, CONDUCTOR AND MENTOR Walter Susskind was conductor and musical director of

the Aspen Music Festival for a number of years during the 1960s. He not only earned the praise of Aspen concertgoers — he also helped launch the career of Aug. 3’s Festival conductor, Leonard Slatkin.

Susskind, born in the Czech Republic and educated in Prague, immigrated to England during the reign of the Nazis. He served as principal conductor of orchestras in England, Scotland and Australia before becoming the director of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Eventually he came to America to guide and build the reputation of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. During his career in St. Louis, he spent his summers in Aspen. Susskind was one of few conductors who made much use of the amphitheater dressing rooms. They were small and cold, but they had well-lit mirrors and provided the only privacy for performers before they strode to the stage. Susskind, a meticulous dresser, wanted every strand of hair in place. He preened behind the dressingroom door. Also, he had an alcohol ritual. He never showed any signs of his habit at rehearsals, but often it was evident that he had had a few

10

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

F

previous to his arrival for concerts. He carried a silver flask that was full when he first appeared, but I suspect it was empty by the time he went on stage. Apparently in an effort to mask his imbibing, Susskind doused heavily with perfume in the dressing room. The overall effect was overpowering. Dressed in his magenta performing jacket, reeking of perfume and alcohol, hair slicked down perfectly, Susskind would emerge from the dressing room just a few minutes before walking onstage. If a woman stood backstage, especially if she displayed aboveaverage beauty, Susskind would head straight for her to converse. What some would call a “twinkle in his eyes” for those occasions others might call a “buzz.” If no women were present, Susskind engaged in a ritual discussion with Edgar Stanton, who recorded the concerts for Voice of America and sat at his table near the

Aug u st 7 - Aug u st 13, 2014

stage entrance. Stanton’s recorder’s guide listed the expected duration for each piece, something he needed to know in order to select the length of tape he would use. Stanton would tell Susskind the predicted duration, and Susskind would say whether he expected to use less or more time. When the piece ended and Susskind returned backstage between bows, he would check his prediction against the actual timing. Whenever the actual time was shorter than predicted, he rejoiced with the glee of an athlete who breaks a standing record. Slatkin and his brother, cellist Frederick Zlotkin, were students at the festival during Susskind’s run. The young, talented Slatkin bonded with Susskind and became his assistant conductor, both in Aspen and St. Louis. Slatkin was never more than two steps behind Susskind, literally and figuratively. He carried Susskind’s scores, catered to his every need and remained attentive

through each rehearsal. Slatkin wasn’t acting overly studious or paying uncalled-for homage to a mentor. As Susskind’s assistant, he had to be ready to take his place immediately in an emergency. Those who knew Susskind harbored a suspicion that one day just such an emergency was likely to take place. Slatkin remained backstage during concerts, ready for any possibility. It was not clear from watching Slatkin whether he felt more nervous for his mentor’s success or anxious that he might have to step in for him mid-concert. Eventually, Slatkin took Susskind’s position in St. Louis when Susskind moved to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, where he stayed until his death in 1980. Slatkin quickly eclipsed his mentor, conducting orchestras around the world; recording more than 100 performances, of which seven won Grammies; and becoming the music director for the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. While it is likely that his loyalty to Susskind led to his success as a conductor, it certainly was an unusual apprenticeship. 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.

SNUFFY’S ART

1947 ASPEN

ON MARCH 27, 1947, the Aspen Daily Times profiled Aspen artist Thomas “Snuffy” O’Neil. As the paper stated, “Snuffy has done so many things that it would be hard to get them all in. It isn’t at all surprising that Snuffy is an artist; as far as he knows, almost all of his aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents have been shoving pencils, pens and brushes across drawing boards for decades. He learned the first things about art in his grandmother’s afternoon drawing class, and can claim Walt Disney as an uncle only slightly removed. When Snuffy was in Junior High School he became vitally interested in two sorts of boards … drawing, and waxed. He won top rating in a nationwide cartoon contest, and he discovered skiing. He has had work in Western Skiing, Ski Annual, and Ski Illustrated. He has done cartoon illustrations for books, on commission, and will have his own book of ski cartoons in print by next winter. Snuffy plans to make Aspen his permanent home. He has bought some land at Fritz Benedict’s place, on Red Mountain, and will open his own art shop here in late spring.” This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

The Altai MF Tactical Boots are something different. I’ve been hiking in the “armored” boots this summer. The look is all business. Law enforcement and military are main markets. But the brand, based in Oakdale, Minnesota, cites backpackers, hunters, hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts as candidates for the calf-high boots. Flexible uppers made of SuperFabric, a material coated in hard tiny plates, distinguish the Altai offering. SuperFabric is a sister brand of Altai, and the unique dimpled material is used on outerwear and other products where flexibility and abrasion-resistance are required. On the boots, the “super” material serves as an exterior shell for calfhugging uppers. Pull the laces tight and the material moves to cradle the calf, giving support. But unlike most big boots they do not feel controlling. The sole is flexible, and the boots are comfortable out of the box. On a hike the uppers flex and move as you step over rocks. The outsole grips with a medium tread of Vibram rubber.

They are waterproof — step through puddles and streams and the synthetic uppers and leather toes will not let in a drop. But the SuperFabric has some breathability, too, and on warm days the boots were not overwhelming. They weigh about 24 ounces apiece in men’s size 11. This is nearly half the weight of some comparable combat boots. It’s on par with most mid-top hiking footwear sold at outdoor stores. Caveat: The company cites they run about a half-size too large. I’d go further and decrease a full size — my size 12 feet fit well in a size 11 model. At $129.99, Altai has a fair price for beefy boots made with quality materials. They are constructed in Korea and sold online at Altaigear.com. In the end, the Altai MF Tactical Boots are overkill for most hikers. But if you’re a fan of the combat look, these boots give a stealth aesthetic in a high-performance, tactical package that’s still comfortable hiking down the trail. Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

WINEINK

GRAHAM’S SIX GRAPES: THE STARTER PORT THOUGH STAGGERED BY the sheer beauty of the Rocky Mountain landscape he traversed for the first time on his early-morning sojourn over Independence Pass, Rui Ribiero remained undeterred from his mission. As the North American ambassador for the first family of the Portuguese Port trade, Symington KELLY J. Family Estates, Rui HAYES had come to Colorado to spread word of the splendor of Graham’s Six Grapes Port. Confidently, and with purpose, he strode into the lobby of the Limelight Hotel on a recent summer morning with a bottle in hand, ready to pour. “Port is a pure expression of the terrior,” he intoned as he tilted the rich, dark liquid into a glass in front of me. “Think of this as a declassified vintage port that is 100 percent estate grown.” I stared deeply into the inky abyss, inhaled the aromas of the black fruits, plums and blackberries, and then took a sip of the wine, tasting the sweet heat in the glass. Like any great glass of wine, this symbiosis of the senses took me away to another place, to the place where Rui lives and where the Graham’s Six Grapes Port he had just poured was born, the Douro Valley of Portugal. Remote and steep, the Duoro Valley was formed when the mighty Douro River, or “River of Gold,” cut a 500-mile swath, first through Spain, and then across Portugal before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. The slopes of the valley, many pitched to 60 degrees (consider that Highland Bowl tops out at just under 50 degrees at the steepest points), were originally too steep to hold vines in the stony schist and granite soils. But as far back as the 17th century, growers painstakingly built terraces out of rock to plant vines. Today, many of these terraces remain, hosting hardy, low-slung vines with dark, deep-purple, almost black, grapes that are among the most resilient on earth.

As the legend goes, British wine merchants were searching for new wine supplies to replace those lost due to their wars with the French, when they came to the Duoro in the late 1600s. There, they stumbled upon a monastery in Lamego where a monk had “fortified” wines grown from indigenous grapes by adding a little grape spirit, or brandy, to the mixture, halting fermentation and preserving the sweetness of the fruit. The result was a wine that gave a heavenly glow to all who tasted it. Seizing an opportunity, the British promptly set up shop where the river meets the sea in a town called Oporto. British merchants, with names like Warre,

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

JACK IN THE BOX

ONE MAN, 25 GROWERS, ONE MISSION: DEAL PRODUCE DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE AND HELP SAVE FAMILY FARMS I MUST ADMIT, the plan sounded sketchy: Meet a guy in the alleyway between Wells Fargo Bank and Pinons restaurant at 4 p.m. Friday. There, I’d get the goods. A chef friend claimed to have done business with this dealer before, so I followed his instructions and brought 30 bucks cash. I’m glad I did, because soon I was strolling down Mill Street, AMANDA carrying a milk crate RAE loaded with a dozen duck eggs, handfuls of wild mushrooms and about 10 pounds of freshly picked produce. “Wait, isn’t the farmers market tomorrow?” exclaimed an acquaintance I nearly collided into, since my view was obstructed by a 3-foot-long fennel frond bouncing happily in the breeze. “This is way better than that,” I replied. “Go meet Farmer Jack, around that corner.” Farmer Jack Reed is an independent fruit and vegetable forager and self-professed champion of underdog producers. A crucial liaison between small-time farmers on the Western Slope and progressive Aspen chefs, he’s been stocking top kitchens — such as Pinons, Cache Cache, the Little Nell — with organic, sometimes obscure ingredients for years. Now, Reed is hawking boxfuls of bounty directly to the public in the Roaring Fork Valley. It’s all in an effort to encourage folks to eschew pricey markets, thereby freeing up farmers to do what they’re supposed to: farm. “Being a Colorado farmer is especially hard — they’re trying to squeeze everything into three or four months of growing,” says Reed, who has dabbled in sprout cultivation and permaculture in Paonia for two decades. “Everything’s stacked against you: the bugs, the weeds, the weather, the distribution system in America. I’m on a mission to save family farms by helping them distribute their stuff without going to six farmers markets a week and standing there like a cigar-store Indian.” Customers might call it the

carefree community-supported agriculture: no membership, no months-long commitment, no hefty pre-payment required. Instead, home cooks sign up by the week to receive a surprise treasure trove of local food — much of it harvested in the past 24 hours. Though Reed urges people to pick up their boxes in Carbondale and Aspen on Fridays and Glenwood Springs on Saturdays, he does deliver for a fee. (On Aug. 8, the Aspen spot will expand to a walkin market.) “There’s an avalanche of food from Colorado right now,” Reed says when I meet him to procure my first crate. Inside are 28 different items, including three ears of Olathe sweet corn, a half-watermelon from Dominguez Canyon, and more braising greens than will fit in my crisper drawer (see “All I Got,” opposite page). There are striped squashes, purple peppers and potatoes caked with dirt, plus sprigs of fresh basil tucked inside a bag of green beans. Oh, and a softball-sized head of elephant garlic — which “really isn’t garlic at all, but a bulb related to leeks,” according to “Farmer Jack’s News Letter” tucked inside. (It’s a ton of food, so singles might consider splitting the box with a friend and/or hosting a weekend feast, as I did.) “We’re fully into all hot-weather stuff: vine-ripened field tomatoes, eggplants, okra, peppers,” Reed says. Peak season continues through September. “Peaches are here; apples in a couple of weeks. Melons, cantaloupe. I fill up a milk crate to overflowing — when I get going, it’s like painting a picture with vegetables.” Deeply tanned, diminutive and spry, with a bushy gray beard and floppy hair matted with sweat beneath a baseball cap, 67-year-old Reed has the sort of twinkle in his eyes that suggests he’s doing all of this simply because he’s enchanted by plants. He is, and he shares that agricultural appreciation with consumers and hopes to change the way small farmers do business so they’re able to compete with conventional agribusiness from California and Mexico. “The number of small family

A box full of organic produce gathered by Jack Reed awaits consumer pickup.

farms I deal with is diminishing — one or two a year are going down the tubes,” Reed says. “Cornell did a study: Organic food needs to be four times more expensive than conventional food just to have the farmer make ends meet. He’s not buying fertilizer, but (making) compost to spread by hand.” Once dealing strictly with restaurants, Reed found most chefs “fickle” and constrained by set menus and inflexible budgets. “It’s way more satisfying, emotionally, for me to be serving individuals who are not so picky. A CSA — you’re supposed to go to the farm,” Reed acknowledges. However, “people in Aspen aren’t going to go to the farm in Olathe. This is more efficient than a farmers market, where you only get some stuff anyway. Hopefully people can taste the difference and are willing to forego getting exactly what they want in favor of getting what is abundant and fresh.” Reed is also out to enhance collaboration and streamline a “disorganized” system. “I’m trying to teach the Mexican farmers in Olathe, who work on a fairly big scale, to grow things like kale, chard and shishito peppers — things they can get some money for, instead of roasting peppers for miles. Somebody has to tell them; they don’t go to Aspen and talk to people.”

Back in the alley, “Mark the Mushroom Guy” presents three pounds of fungus — king bolete porcini and the gelatinous, darkbrown wood ear variety — picked from the woods near Sunlight Ski Area. Tomorrow he’ll head to Lost Man Lake in search of chanterelles; last summer he delivered 45 pounds. A dreadlocked lady sells beeswax candles ($6 per pound) while Reed talks about an herbal apothecary in Glenwood Springs, which will supply teas for future CSA boxes. Another woman arrives with a list written by her boyfriend, a local chef away traveling. Reed grabs her crate, plus a few additional items: a home-butchered chicken and raw cream so thick it sticks inside a Mason jar like butter. (Dairy, meat, pesto, honey, bread and bouquets are available by request.) “I enjoy having a role in the Aspen economy — the social fabric really,” Reed says. “You’re buying more than a box, you’re supporting people who are working really hard to grow something local and fresh. If we don’t support them … they’ll give up.” Amanda Rae wrote this story between bites of caramelized onion, porcini mushroom and duck egg omelet with sweet corn, cucumber, tomato and red leaf lettuce salad.

A TEXAS TWIST ON THE MANHATTAN What defines craft? Charlie and Dan Garrison would argue that some micro-distilleries are using the term loosely, buying booze from a large manufacturer and only bottling it themselves.

fresh, organic grain and matured in barrels specially suited to the climate of the Lone Star State, which does hike up the price. But sipping on a smooth glass of their Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey on a cold, rainy day in Aspen last week, I thought it might be worth it. Garrison Brothers will soon be stocked in more local stores and restaurants, but currently you can find it at Of Grape and Grain, the Grog Shop and the bar in the Red Onion. How to drink Garrison Brothers? “Neat or on the rocks,” Charlie says. But if you insist on ordering a cocktail, he suggests a Manhattan. Libations was created by beloved Aspen Times Publisher Gunilla Asher, who died June 2 after a brave battle with cancer. Cheers — to Gunner!

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

Four friends celebrate summiting Huron Peak on Aug. 3. A good crew is essential for hiking any fourteener.

SOMETIMES IT’S THE DESTINATION, NOT THE JOURNEY THE POPULAR PUSH TO 14,000 FEET

IN COLORADO, 54 MOUNTAINS are known to be 14,000 feet or higher. The Colorado Mountain Club and the U.S Geological Survey have spent many years, quite possibly, using wooden measuring sticks when the altimeters didn’t work, in order to make sure there are exactly 54 summits that lie at least 2.6 miles BARBARA above sea level. Some PLATTS shorties (Grizzly Peak and Stewart Peak) tried to fool them, but they were figured out and taken off of the glorified fourteener list. Experts, I have no idea which ones, have worked hard to keep the fourteener club exclusive. Because we certainly wouldn’t want to spend our precious time hiking a peak that was less than 14,000 feet. Those are the thirteeners ... essentially the ugly stepsister in the mountain family. Ain’t nobody got time for them. The fourteeners hold some kind of power over mountain climbers. Out of the 50 highest peaks in the United States, 28 reside in Colorado. Even though many of the shorter mountains are harder to climb and arguably prettier than the fourteeners, we are still drawn to the tallest of the peaks. We feel the need to conquer them, similarly

to how we feel the need to count our total ski days each winter. Anyone who has lived in Aspen for a substantial amount of time has probably considered attempting at least one or even all of the 54 feats. And, in fact, many have attempted and succeeded. I’ve put the goal on my bucket list ever since I summited Longs Peak about six years ago. This past weekend, my friends and I knocked one more off of our list with Mount Huron near Buena Vista. This mountain was at first considered to be a mere thirteener, but proved to be worth its size when it was deemed to be 14,003 feet in the mid-1950s. We arrived late on Saturday night and stayed next to Clear Creek, roughly six miles from the trailhead. Forming a solid and fun group is always key when making summiting plans. And, luckily, we had a good crew. Out of the seven of us, two had never hiked a fourteener. Regardless of the levels of experience, we all had one thing at the front of our mind as we sat around the campfire: the summit. Although the camping experience was incredible and we knew the hike would hold many spectacular views, the top was the main goal. It’s what mattered most. The slightly indulgent night around the campfire brought a late start for our hike. We begun

Aug u st 7 - Aug u st 13, 2014

the trek at about 8:45 a.m. and had all summited by roughly 11:20 a.m. This is relatively quick for a fourteener, but the trailhead is so high that it’s only 3.5 miles, or 3,800 feet, to reach the top. However, the last mile and a half

the kind where everything hurts for all of the right reasons. Despite the fact that we would all wake up sore, we knew we would get one of the best nights of sleep. The goal of summiting all of the fourteeners in Colorado might

EVEN THOUGH MANY OF THE SHORTER MOUNTAINS ARE HARDER TO CLIMB AND ARGUABLY PRETTIER THAN THE FOURTEENERS, WE ARE STILL DRAWN TO THE TALLEST OF THE PEAKS. WE FEEL THE NEED TO CONQUER THEM, SIMILARLY TO HOW WE FEEL THE NEED TO COUNT OUR TOTAL SKI DAYS EACH WINTER. is incredibly steep with loose rock, so that makes up for the short ascent. Despite my own experience summiting mountains, there were points where turning around almost seemed appealing … almost. But, one by one, we made it to the top, uniting with a fluster of high-fives and cheers. We had forgotten the grueling journey and celebrated the destination with a slew of photos, some more risqué than others (see above). After spending an hour at the top, we headed down the mountain (often the most unpleasant part of the journey). We took down our campsite and proceeded to have an indulgent, guilt-free meal at the Eddyline Brewery in Buena Vista. Then we headed home and the best kind of exhaustion settled in,

be overly ambitious or even a bit negligent. Especially since there are so many other trails worth attempting that don’t meet that height. But I’m going to keep the fourteener goal on my bucket list for now. Not because I need to conquer the highest peaks in Colorado. I will keep it on my bucket list so I can experience the challenges and enjoy the company and adventure along the way. Perhaps, most of the time, it is the journey that matters. Barbara Platts hopes to get one more fourteener under her belt this summer, but she would settle for any hiking challenge in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. After all, it’s hard to be picky in paradise. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

Aspen Valley Hospital

A message from

The Year in Review

Dr. Barry Mink

President, Board of Directors I have been affiliated with Aspen Valley Hospital for over 40 years — first as a physician on the active medical staff, then as a board member, and now as the president of the board. Throughout the years, I have seen many changes, and this past year was no exception. I would like to extend the board’s gratitude to John Sarpa, not only for his service on the board, but also for the fine job he did while serving as interim CEO in 2013. While David Eisenstat (who filled John’s vacated board seat) is now an “old hand” on the board, I would be remiss not to officially welcome and thank him for his willingness to serve. In addition, incumbents Lee Schumacher and Chuck Frias were unopposed as their terms ended earlier this year. It is great to have them continuing on the board, along with Dr. Mindy Nagle. We successfully recruited a new CEO, Dan Bonk, who has settled in nicely and is getting to know the staff, the community, and our hospital after six months on the job. We are fortunate to have such a qualified, experienced administrator at the helm and look forward to working with him for years to come.

Quality

Fast Facts Zero incidence in 2013: events • Adverse drug Catheter-associated urinary tract infections • Central-line associated blood stream infections • • Early elective deliveries • Birth trauma • Falls with injury • Pressure ulcers • Ventilator-associated pneumonia

•Less than 1 percent incidence in 2013: • Venous thrombolytic (blood clot) events Surgical site infections

Readmissions in 2013: 1.3 percent compared to the national average of 20 percent.

During this time of transition, I am pleased that the hospital continued to make progress on many fronts: • The second and largest phase of our expansion/renovation project is now almost • finished. Private physicians (such as orthopaedic surgeons, obstetricians, and trauma surgeons) are on site and available for emergencies, as well as making it easier for patients to access hospital resources after seeing their doctor. Many ancillary services moved into new spaces that better accommodate patients and work flow.

• We were the first Colorado hospital selected to join the Mayo Clinic Care Network. • That affiliation has supported local physicians in managing the care of some of their more complex patients and has given them easy access to online resources.

• Valley Health Alliance finalized decisions for the pilot project which will ultimately • help residents of our community achieve optimum health at lower costs. We recently hired an executive director, which will further advance the cause.

• We established our own foundation and have had good success with our • capital campaign which will allow us to complete the final phase of the expansion/renovation project.

• Despite the continued unknowns with healthcare reform, we have maintained • a strong financial position.

• We were nationally recognized for the outstanding patient care we provide and for • our work related to “preventable harms.”

I would like to extend, on behalf of the board, my most sincere gratitude to the staff: executive team, directors, physicians, nurses, therapists, technologists, and support services for their daily commitment to patient care. The work you do each day, and your commitment to making a difference in the life of each and every patient, is what makes Aspen Valley Hospital such a special place. It was an honor for me to work alongside such talented and dedicated professionals when I was a practicing physician; it is a privilege to continue this affiliation as president of the board.

Our Mission To deliver extraordinary healthcare in an environment of excellence, compassion, and trust.

Thank You, Volunteers! Volunteers are an essential part of Aspen Valley Hospital. They serve on governing and fundraising boards. They invest valuable time on special committees. They allow staff to stay at the bedside, support patients with extra care and attention, and help patients and visitors find their way around the ever-changing facility. Some of them prefer to help with administrative work, some are anxiously awaiting the reopening of Sally’s Gift Shop later this year, and some bring their most well-behaved “best friend” to spread good cheer throughout the hospital. On behalf of the entire staff at AVH, a heartfelt thanks is extended to all of our volunteers!

Healthcare Costs No one in the healthcare industry will deny that healthcare is an expensive endeavor. At Aspen Valley Hospital (AVH), we have made a concerted effort to keep charges down. Each year we commission a third-party expert to evaluate AVH charges, as well as the charges of our closest competitors and other hospitals in the state. We are pleased to report that, based on that independent charge analysis, we are not only competitive, but AVH offers a price advantage in most instances. We hope the following Q & A will help you separate fact from fiction when it comes to hospital pricing.

Q: Why has it been reported in the press that Pitkin County’s high healthcare costs

have resulted in insurance premiums that are among the highest in the nation? A: The Center for Improving Value in Health Care (CIVHC) created the report responsible for the press coverage. After a great deal of research and analysis, we have found that there is no correlation between costs and premiums by county.

Q: What was included, then, in the data from CIVHC? A: Only .8 percent of AVH’s claims were included in the data. Essentially, only

individual and small business plans were factored in, including only Blue Cross and Rocky Mountain Health Plan. The data did not include Medicare patients or those covered by self-insured employer plans (the five largest employers in the community: school district, hospital, city, county, and Aspen Skiing Company). In addition, less than 20 percent of the cost data included healthcare services delivered in Pitkin County. This data from CIVHC is not representative of our area’s healthcare costs. At AVH, based on an independent, third-party analysis, we know that our charges are among the lowest in Colorado. We are working directly with legislators and CIVHC to tackle this issue.

Awards and Recognition Aspen Valley Hospital (AVH) has once again earned national attention by being named HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) Best Performer in the “Overall Rating,” “Responsiveness of Hospital Staff,” and “Cleanliness” composites. In addition, we received recognition for “Exceeding Patient Expectations.” These awards are given to the facility with the highest rating in the small-bed hospital category. AVH will celebrate with employees and be recognized this fall at a regional conference on customer service in San Francisco. “The collective efforts of our staff — no matter their role — are responsible for these awards,” says AVH chief executive officer Dan Bonk. “Thank you to all for a job well done!” Earlier this year, AVH was recognized by the Colorado Hospital Association for accomplishments in a national initiative called the Hospital Engagement Network (HEN). HEN focuses on the top 11 “preventable harms” in hospitals. These patient safety practices are evidence-based and known to improve outcomes. “Because of our approach and demonstrated improvements, we were asked to present at two statewide conferences on patient safety,” comments Elaine Gerson, RN, chief clinical officer at AVH. “Our team did a phenomenal job of identifying opportunities for improvement and implementing changes to optimize patient safety.” And, we received the American Heart Association’s “Gold Fit-Friendly Workplace” award in recognition of our efforts to provide healthy food and exercise options for our employees.

Patient Satisfaction Scores Continue to Climb Patient survey data shows that we continue to exceed our patients’ expectations and to outperform hundreds of other hospitals throughout the nation, including our closest competitors. The following is a snapshot of just some of the data we collect:

A BACKCOUNTRY BIRTHDAY BASH

ALONG WITH SOME DINING IN CRESTED BUTTE AND MARBLE

ASPEN RESIDENT CAM SHORT celebrated his 30th birthday in style in July as he headed out with some buddies over Express Creek Road (off Ashcroft) to Taylor Pass Road, where they camped in Taylor Park by Taylor Reservoir. The group then mountain biked Reno/Flag/Bear and then hit Crested Butte, where they dined at the famous Secret Stash Pizza Place. On their return, they went over Kebler Pass and stopped in Marble, where they chowed down at Slow Grooving BBQ. Their motorized mode of transportation was a 1974 Toyota Landcruiser, with a Ruger trailer out of Denver and a Cascadia vehicular tent.

MOMENT of TRUTH

NEW ASPEN ART MUSEUM OPENS ITS DOORS by ANDREW TRAVERS

SHIGERU BAN WANTS YOU inside the new Aspen Art Museum. Whether or not you like art, whether or not you’re willing to look at art, the acclaimed Tokyo-based architect says, the museum is for you. “We wanted to make a building for the community, not only for the people who love art,” Ban said before the new museum’s ribboncutting. “We want to invite the people who have never been to a museum, even if they are not so interested in contemporary art.” Ban said he designed the museum — his first in the U.S. — with ordinary Aspenites and tourists in mind. “We wanted to make a space, not only for art lovers, but also for the community to spend time,” he said. Unlike most museums, he noted, it has no grand foyer. Instead, it has a rooftop deck, with views of Aspen Mountain and Independence Pass, with a glass elevator and grand staircase leading to the street. “You can step down, one by one, and can enjoy the art,” said Ban, who earlier this year won the Pritzker Prize, the field of architecture’s highest honor. A glimpse of what Ban was talking about — what his hope for a museum that welcomes all of Aspen might look like — was on display Saturday afternoon at gondola plaza, where artist Cai GuoQiang was scheduled to set off his “Black Lightning” explosion event over Aspen Mountain, celebrating the new museum before its members’ preview. In the moments before “Black Lightning,” mountain bikers made their way down the hill toward the finish line of the Power of Four endurance race. A unicyclist also pedaled down the mountain. Locals gathered with tourists, spandex-clad bikers, families, artists and Aspen Art Museum board members, alongside the crowds eating and drinking on the patios at Zeno and Ajax Tavern. All

looked skyward. “I hope this work will connect the sky, the earth and the museum,” Guo-Qiang, of China, said through an interpreter before the display. It began with a loud crack, followed by a succession of black explosions in the sky, forming the shape of a lighting bolt above the mountain. The crowd cheered. The smoke moved toward Independence Pass, then it went off again, and the crowd cheered again. As the smoke dissipated, Guo-Qiang high-fived Phil Grucci, president of the Long Island-based fireworks company that engineered and manufactured “Black Lightning” to Guo-Qiang’s specifications. Moments later, as Ban and Guo-Qiang shared a private conversation, Aspen ski bum par excellence “Benny the Blade” sat steps away atop the plaza railing, his rollerblade-clad feet folded over one another, looking up expressionlessly at the clearing smoke. Should a similar crowd end up inside Ban’s new museum, which opens to the public Aug. 9 with 24 hours of events, his vision for it as a transcendent gathering place would be realized.

‘TIME TO MOVE FORWARD’ As the museum opens its doors, four years after the new building was approved by the Aspen City Council, heated local debate over it and criticism of it — mostly of its size — continues to play out around town, in the local opinion pages and on social media. “We fight over everything in Aspen, but this is one of the most emotional fights I’ve seen,” said Erik Skarvan, a local resident since 1982, host of “The Local’s Show” on GrassRoots TV and a vocal critic of the museum’s building. “It’s up there with Boogie’s and the St. Regis,” he added, referring to heated local debates of decades yore over Boogie’s Diner’s glass atrium and the slopeside luxury hotel. “It set me off and it set off so many locals,” he said. “It’s a symptom of a larger issue, which is the escalating urbanization of Aspen.” Like those earlier development battles, and the vociferous criticism of the now-iconic downtown pedestrian malls in the 1970s, the clamor will likely eventually die down. Aspen Mayor Steve Skadron is encouraging locals to look ahead now and embrace the museum. “It’s here, and it’s time to move forward,” Skadron said. Skadron, as a city councilman in 2010, was the lone dissenting vote against the museum’s building when it was approved by the Aspen City Council. He said locals upset with the new building continue to sound off on him. “In terms of general conversations, I hear less positive things about it and more angst,” Skadron said. The mayor added that criticism of the building is often laced with misinformation about the city process approving the building. The process began with an unrelated development application for the site, from local developer Nikos Hecht, which the council rejected in 2008. Hecht sued the city over that decision. The council’s decision was upheld in district court, but was appealed to a higher jurisdiction. As that case was pending, Hecht offered a plan for a new art museum and an adjacent building as part of a settlement offer to the City Council. The council approved that application in a 4-1 vote. “My hope is that it’s eventually embraced as a positive community asset,” the mayor said. “My personal feeling is that it contributes to Aspen’s exceptionalism and it helps sustain and continue ‘the Aspen Idea,’” referring to Aspen visionary Walter Paepcke’s concept of Aspen as a sanctuary for mind, body and spirit. Pitkin County Commissioner Michael Owsley put it more bluntly: “I don’t think the town knows how lucky it is.” The $45 million building, completely funded with private money, has become a lightning rod, Skadron argued, for larger local fears about the trajectory of Aspen.

“There’s a feeling that money and power trump local values,” he said, adding that he hopes the museum will help turn the tide against that feeling among locals by becoming a gathering place and center of community activity. The rooftop deck and café, Skadron and others noted, is the most likely conduit through which the museum can bring local doubters into the fold. The restaurant, named So, offers dishes using seasonal and regional ingredients, but nothing cooked on site, as to keep flames out of the museum. It has a weekly changing menu, inspired by the museum’s noncollecting philosophy. Its preview week menu included croissants for $3, beer for $5 and tapas for $12. Along with the café, the rooftop deck has a projection system and will host monthly movie nights beginning Aug. 31. Gov. John Hickenlooper, at the museum’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, touted the museum as a force to reshape Aspen as a cultural destination. “The brand or identity of Aspen is pretty set in most people’s minds,” he said. “That’s going to change, and this museum is going to play a role in that beyond probably what most of us can imagine right now. That is a remarkable thing, and changing the brand of Aspen is also going to change the brand of Colorado — a good thing from my vantage point.”

AVANT-GARDE ASPEN Richard Carter, a founder of the Aspen Art Museum and an artist who has lived in the valley since 1971, notes that controversy over contemporary art in Aspen is nothing new for the town. “I sympathize with what the museum staff has to go through with the negativity,” he said, drawing a parallel between the current debate and the founding of the museum in 1979, when it was known as the Aspen Center for Contemporary Art. “It was not a popular idea, or an easy idea, to get the museum started in the first place. There was a lot of political indifference and outright opposition. It was an astounding accomplishment.” Carter said he assumed back then that the museum,

in time, would grow more conservative and less avant-garde, and that another movement would develop to rebel against it. Somehow, that never happened and the museum has continued progressing and reflecting the contemporary art of its time over the past 35 years. The museum carried on an avant-garde tradition that extends to the birth of modern Aspen after World War II, beginning with Paepcke’s late-1940s exhibitions of experimental photographs by Ferenc Berko and graphic design, sculpture and photographs by Herbert Bayer, whose works and Bauhaus architectural designs still cover the Aspen Institute campus (and to whom Carter was an assistant in the ’70s). The International Design Conference and the Center for the Eye brought leading artists,

P H O T O S B Y LY N N G O L D S M I T H

architects, graphic designers and photographers. Institute trustee John Powers’ “Museum Without Walls” brought masters like Jasper Johns, Roy Lichenstein, Donald Judd, Robert Indiana, Christo and Ana Mendieta. “They were the avant-garde of their time and as good as it gets really,” said Carter. “Aspen has attracted artists of their time.” In 1967, Lichtenstein painted the walls of the Brand Building in his signature comic book-inspired style, and it housed new work by emerging artists, including Claes Oldenburg and Indiana, who would go on to create the iconic ’70s “LOVE” block prints. The two biggest milestones for the museum since 1979, in Carter’s view, are this week’s opening and Philip Yenawine coming to town from the Museum of Contemporary Art to serve as the local museum’s founding director. “He really engaged the community and embarked on a really high-level curatorial program,” Carter said. In the context of Aspen’s art history, Carter argued, it makes perfect sense for contemporary art to have a prominent home downtown. “There’s been a lot of negativity around it, that the building is too big, and I think that’s short-sighted,” he said. “I think that contemporary art should be part of Aspen and we don’t want to stay in the 19th century.”

Perhaps the biggest local kerfuffle over art, before Ban’s museum, came in 1988, when installation artist Donald Lipski rolled Mylar scrolls down the front of Aspen Mountain for a summer-long exhibition. As recounted in former Aspen Art Museum director Dean Sobel’s book, “One Hour Ahead: The Avant-Garde in Aspen,” museum officials agreed to take it down early, but Aspenites took matters into their own hands and tore down the scrolls before they could be removed. The new museum, opening with six world-class shows by leading contemporary artists in 17,500 square feet of gallery, keeps Aspen on contemporary art’s cutting edge, Carter said. “What you’re seeing in the Aspen Art Museum reflects what’s happening in the art world at large,” he said. “I can’t imagine there’s a better museum between the coasts.”

“Everywhere you are in the building, you know that you’re in Aspen,” Zuckerman Jacobson said. “The building is really sensitive, I think, to the environment and the community and its siting and its placement.” Originally, the museum’s leadership called for no natural light in the galleries. Ban rejected that idea, eventually using natural light in all but two of the gallery spaces, using concrete floors and an allwhite color scheme inside them. “The one thing he rejected in our program was the idea of no natural light,” Zuckerman Jacobson said. “And he was right. The art looks incredible.” Ban also, at first, wanted to direct people to take the elevator to the top and work their way down. Eventually, he and museum staff opted to allow people to move freely in different directions from gallery to gallery. “So as people familiarize themselves with the building, there are different paths you can take through it,” said Zuckerman Jacobson, “and because it’s free you can come time and time again.” Admission to the museum is free, and is endowed to remain so in perpetuity. Earlier this summer at an Aspen Ideas Festival panel on contemporary art museums, Los Angeles County Museum of Art director Michael Govan argued that dropping admission is not, in itself, a solution to engaging the public. Unimposing design and community engagement, he said, are more important. “Free admission is great, but that’s not the fundamental barrier when people don’t know what’s inside,” he said. On a recent tour of the museum, Zuckerman Jacobson pointed to the glass faces of the building, behind the woven Prodema screen, as a tool for welcoming the public inside from the street. “Contemporary art can be intimidating to people,” she said. “The idea is that you can stand on the street and orient yourself with what you’re going to see before you go inside.” The lead show inside is a joint exhibition of French post-war master Yves Klein and What: Aspen Art Museum 24postmodern American artist David Hammons. It Hour Public Opening fills the two gallery spaces on the ground floor. A Where: 637 E.

The wideMore information: Details on art, ranging show includes Klein’s signature works in music, film, dance, tours and food blue and Hammons’ signature use of American during the opening festivities at flags and human hair. Klein’s “Untitled Shroud www.aspenartmuseum.com Anthropometry” is positioned beside Hammons’ Regular hours: 10 a.m. – 8 p.m., “Pray for America,” featuring a man literally Tuesday-Sunday shrouded in an American flag with hands in prayer. Zuckerman Jacobson said she has been working on Hammons and on the Klein estate for 15 years to put the joint show together. “I’ve wanted to do this show my entire career,” Zuckerman Jacobson said. “It’s basically an undoable show. … I really think this show only could have happened right here, right now, for the opening.” Ban’s work also fills the largest gallery space in the museum. He has rebuilt the groundbreaking structures he’s designed for people in disaster zones in a 4,000-square-foot gallery on the second floor. Ban has been designing shelters for the United Nations since 1995. They often make use of paper tubes, much like the tubes peppered throughout the museum. Visitors can walk into Ban’s paper tube and tarp emergency shelter, built for refugees in Rwanda in 1999. His use of paper emerged out of necessity. So much wood had been used for shelters in Rwanda that erosion issues worsened, and when the UN provided shelters with aluminum piping, refugees often sold off the materials. Photos in the gallery show similar structures in use in 2010 in Haiti after an earthquake and in Sri Lanka in 2008 during civil war.

Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson traveled the country, studying other museums. In Denver, they visited the Denver Art Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Clyfford Still Museum; in Minneapolis, they went to the Walker Art Center; and in New York, they went to the New Museum, among others. Ban eventually settled on a design aimed at complementing the local landscape and mimicking movement on the ski mountains — the grand staircase, for instance, bisected by a glass curtain, includes stairs for upward traffic and one for downward traffic, going simultaneously, much like the gondola on Aspen mountain. The building includes five signature elements: its handmade wooden trusses; its glass elevator; its walkable skylights throughout the building; its grand staircase and its woven screen, made from a material called Prodema, with a wood veneer surface filled with resin and paper (“Shigeru likes to say the building is made of paper,” joked Zuckerman Jacobson). Viewed from the inside, the screen breaks up the local landscape into small, framed sections.

Visitors can also step into his “Paper Log House,” made last year for survivors of the tsunami in the Philippines, and into the paper partition system he devised to give refugees privacy in disaster relief shelters after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in northern Japan, and into a nursery school made out of a paper tube frame that was used after the 2013 Lushan earthquake in China. A Tomma Abts exhibition, titled “Mostly Drawings,” fills the museum’s two basement galleries. It marks the first show to survey Abts’ drawing practice and includes 38 of them, along with two casts and one painting. A Rosemary Trockel exhibition, titled “Less Sauvage Than Others,” displays ceramic sculptures. The shows, like most planned for the museum, do not have panels beside artists’ work displaying titles, materials, and years of production, as is customary for galleries and museums. Instead, printed gallery guides are available at the entrances. The galleries do, however, have the names of donors who funded them on one wall in each — though the names are placed near the ceiling, above the sightline of the art. Ban wanted the focus in the galleries to remain on the art, without distraction, so he shied away from panels and built at the same ceiling height, 14 feet, so that viewers don’t have to reorient themselves as they move from room to room. “There’s a consistency and integrity to the design that, I think, allows the visitor to feel really comfortable,” Zuckerman Jacobson said. In an effort to stave off “viewer fatigue,” the museum includes benches — fashioned by Ban from paper tubes, a material used throughout the building — and areas to go outside on each floor. Most of the gallery guides provide basic information about the exhibitions, but one worth adding to your bookshelf covers the “Colorado Mineralogy” show in the corridor on the museum’s second floor. The show exhibits minerals like basalt, galena and quartz — on loan from the Aspen Historical Society and the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum — in a long glass case. Its guide includes a spirited essay by locally based journalist Mark Seal (“This is not mere rock! This is Art, worthy of any museum.”) and a rock-by-rock narrative that includes scientific and historical fun facts about the Colorado minerals. A sidewalk installation by Jim Hodges, which hadn’t been installed at press time, is titled “And Justice For All” and will run around “the commons” in front of the

P H O T O S B Y LY N N G O L D S M I T H

museum on Spring Street and Hyman Avenue. The rooftop sculpture garden, until October, hosts Guo-Qiang’s “Moving Ghost Town,” featuring three live African Sulcata Tortoises, named Big Bertha, Gracie Pink Star and Whale Wanderer, with iPads attached to their backs, displaying footage the turtles shot — under the supervision of the Turtle Conservancy — of a ghost town near Buena Vista. A look down at the screens shows views of grass fields, crumbling ghost town buildings and, occasionally, the other turtles wandering the terrain. The opening exhibitions — including ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, environmental installation and that big explosion over Aspen Mountain — are aimed to showcase the breadth and variety of what the museum can do. The museum doesn’t have a collection of its own, and doesn’t intend to begin one. Instead, Zuckerman Jacobson said, it aims to grow relationships with artists. As she put it, “We don’t collect objects, but we collect artists.”

TOP: David Hammons’ “Untitled (Kool-Aid Drawing),” 2003. ABOVE: Shigeru Ban’s” Miao Mia Paper Nursery School” was used to house a preschool after the Lushan earthquake in China. The structure is included in the museum’s “Shigeru Ban: Humanitarian Architecture” exhibition.

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

by MARY ESHBAUGH HAYES

ASPEN COMMUNITY CHURCH A SUNDAY MORNING BRUNCH was recently given by the trustees of the Aspen Community Church to thank the people who gave funds to make its historic restoration possible. The church was originally built and dedicated in 1891 by the Presbyterians in the Aspen community. MARY In 1934 it was ESHBAUGH acquired by the HAYES Methodists, and to this day the Methodist Church directs it. The church is now restored with new steel beams in the ceiling, all repainted bricks and a drainage system on the roof. The church received the Elisabeth Paepcke Historic Preservation Award in 2014. Undercurrent: I wonder if the people living in those monster homes realize how much the noise of their air conditioning disturbs the neighbors.

BRUNCH Barbara Guy, Jeannie Merriman, Jim Ward, Marian Melville and Martha Madsen.

BRUNCH Andy and Rev. Jane Keener-Quait, who is the outgoing minister at the Aspen Community Church.

BRUNCH Sally Matkin and Jim and Yan Lan Curtis.

BRUNCH Sara Garton and Leslie Desmond, daughter of Mary and Phil Desmond.

They were in a blue bag, and most likely would've been lost at the entrance to Snowmass Village, or the area surrounding Maroon Bells.

BOOK REVIEW

‘THE HORSE LOVER’ YOU’VE HEARD OF the Horse Whisperer. Now, meet the Horse Lover, a cowboy on a mission to save wild mustangs — 1,500 of them, all nickering and snorting at the Mustang Meadows Ranch. “When my brother told me he’d agreed to keep hundreds of wild mustangs on his ranch, I thought he’d temporarily lost his common sense,” writes former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the author’s sister, in the foreword to H. Alan Day’s memoir. The 1971 Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Law dictated that thousands of mustangs on public land be rounded up, corralled and offered for adoption — something that many of the animals proved utterly unsuitable for. That gave Day the idea for his project: a refuge for wild horses. Already a cattle rancher who owned and managed two ranches totaling 250,000 acres in two states, Day bought

NOTEWORTHY a third — a 35,000-acre property in South Dakota — just to provide a home for unwanted mustangs. “This was an opportunity to plow unfurrowed ground in building the first wild horse sanctuary in the United States — a never-before-done project,” Day writes. He describes the fun he had in meeting and caring for his new charges as well as the problems and frustrations involved in trying to keep 1,500 horses — 6,000 thundering hooves — healthy and happy at his wild-equine rest home. Fortunately, he had help: The federal government paid 100 percent of the project’s cost during his fouryear contract with the Bureau of Land Management. Still, Day has harsh words for the way the BLM manages mustangs. “The Bureau of Land Management treats wild horses as numbers and objects rather than as individuals to be

treated with love,” he writes. “Man is the worst enemy of mustangs, especially men in helicopters who cause terror and trauma. If you don’t make friends with them and teach them that you’re not their enemy, then you are.” When the contract expired, Day rebid for it and lost; he then sold Mustang Meadows Ranch to the Rosebud Sioux Tribe in 1993, and another contractor took over the care of the horses. Asked if he’d do it again, given the chance, he answers without hesitation: “Make me 30 years younger and I’d damned well do it over again.”
