THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with ANDREW TRAVERS

FOOD A LOT OF LOCAL FESTIVALS take time to catch on and find their people, but the cheesy good time at the Aspen Mac and Cheese Festival has been a hit from the start. And why not? What’s not to like about free mac and cheese for all and a block party celebrating the beginning of fall? Now in its fourth year, the free festival takes over Aspen’s “Restaurant Row” on the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 6.

The festival pits local restaurants against one another in (mostly) friendly competition, showing off their recipes of the irresistible cheese and noodle dish and serving it up in 2-ounce cups to a voting public.

Launched by the city of Aspen’s recreation department, the festival has drawn upward of 3,000 attendees in its last two outings. It enjoyed some unexpected national buzz in 2012 when Yahoo! featured it in chef Allison Fishman Task’s “Blue Ribbon Hunter” video series and the clip went viral.

Rustique Bistro is the three-time “Golden Noodle” winner, with its mushroom, truffle oil and gruyere cheese dish. The Noodle is a Stanley Cup-style trophy that the winner gets to hold — along with bragging rights — for the year. Some other memorable offerings have included Jimmy’s signature Jimmy Mac and haute cuisine touches like the lobster mac from the Caribou Club, the bacon and Tator Tot mac from the Meatball Shack and the (no surprise) Guinness-inflused offering from Finbarr’s.

The Mac and Cheese Festival runs from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept 6 on restaurant row (Hopkins Avenue between Mill and Monarch streets) in downtown Aspen.

Macaroni and cheese will take over “Restaurant Row” on Saturday afternoon for the annual Mac and Cheese Festival.

ASPEN REGULARS and Colorado rock stand-outs West Water Outlaws return to Belly Up on Sunday, Sept. 7 for a free show. The Boulder-based band puts on a dependably hard-hitting, high-energy rock show.

The concert is among a sort of offseason kickoff at Belly Up, which hosts a five-day run of inexpensive or free shows: JackLNDN (Thursday, Sept. 4, $5); Jes Grew (Friday, Sept. 5, $5, no cover before 10 p.m.); Politiculture (Saturday, Sept. 6, no cover); West Water Outlaws (Sunday, Sept. 7, no cover); and One Drop (Monday, Sept. 8, no cover). More info at www.bellyupaspen.com

TED CONOVER has carved out a unique niche with his brand of inspired participatory journalism — working as a guard at Sing Sing Correctional Facility for his book “Newjack,” riding the rails with hobos for “Rolling Nowhere” and, of course, driving a Mallow Yellow cab and working as a reporter for The Aspen Times for “Whiteout: Lost in Aspen.”

Conover returns to his old stomping grounds on Wednesday, Sept. 10, for a presentation at English in Action’s 20th Anniversary Community Series titled “You in the Picture: Cultural Exploration and the First Person.”

The nonprofit, which assists immigrants with learning English and aims to bridge cultural divides, is charging $30 at the door for the event, with all proceeds going to its programs. The event at the Aspen Design Room (625 E. Main St.) runs from 5 to 7 p.m. RSVP and more information at www.englishinaction.org

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by JIMMY TOBIAS

Wilderness at 50: A place to be free, a place to hide “NO PLACE TO HIDE” is the name of a new book by the investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald, who worked for The Guardian newspaper in England. In his book, he writes about whistleblower Edward Snowden and the grim reality of surveillance by the U.S. National Security Agency.

The book’s title is drawn from a famous quote by Frank Church of Idaho, the U.S. senator whose hearings in the 1970s uncovered widespread domestic surveillance. During the hearings, Church warned that the NSA’s vast surveillance capabilities “at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left … There would be no place to hide.”

Many of Frank Church’s fears have come to pass as we’ve learned about this country’s wholesale spying on Americans, our secret and illegal wiretapping, and the proliferation of privacy-destroying technologies. By using the NSA’s own documents as evidence, Greenwald and his fellow journalists have revealed that millions of United States citizens are under surveillance by their own government.

But Church was wrong about one thing. There is still a place to hide in America today, and it’s called wilderness.

As we hit the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act on Sept. 3, we should remember that many of our forebears in the wilderness movement were also civil libertarians who saw a clear link between the right to walk on untrammeled land and our personal freedom.

Church himself was the floor sponsor of the 1964 legislation that created the National Wilderness Preservation System on our public lands, and he pushed hard for the designation of vast wilderness areas in his home state, the largest of which, at 2.3 million acres, still bears his name. Church’s fight for wild land and against domestic surveillance lasted until he lost his seat in the Senate in 1980.

Bob Marshall, another legendary wilderness proponent and a lifetime supporter of the American Civil Liberties Union, believed that wilderness, freedom and privacy were bound up together.

“In a civilization which requires most lives to be passed amid inordinate dissonance, pressure and intrusion, the chance of retiring now and then to the quietude and privacy of sylvan haunts becomes for some people a psychic

necessity,” he wrote in his seminal article, “The Problem of the Wilderness.”

Then there’s Edward Abbey, author of “The Monkey Wrench Gang,” who argued for wild land almost as an anarchist’s hidey-hole: “The wilderness should be preserved for political reasons. We may need it someday not only as a refuge from excessive industrialism, but also as a refuge from authoritarian government, political oppression,” he wrote in “Desert Solitaire,” adding that “the value of wilderness … as a base for resistance to centralized domination is demonstrated by recent history.”

Marshall. Church. Abbey. A forester.

A U.S. senator. A rabble-rousing writer.

These very different individuals shared a belief that wilderness is the place you go to for relief from societal pressure, from surveillance, from noise, from sheer stupidity. You go into the wild because security cameras and spying bureaucrats hold no sway there. Even surveillance drones have yet to invade the backcountry (with some exceptions along our nation’s Northern and Southern borders). In the wild, privacy is still supreme; you can strip off your clothes and jump in the creek, you can praise America or utter seditious slander, you can be as weird as you please and rest easy in the knowledge that no one is watching.

As the abuses of state surveillance become better known, wilderness advocates have an opportunity to bring a new generation of privacyminded young Americans into the fold. Encourage them to turn off their smartphones and walk into the woods.

Tell them that wild land is where they can be free from the subtle and debilitating fear that someone else is watching them everywhere and always.

There are more than 109 million acres of federally designated wilderness in America, and every acre is a sanctuary worth defending. Civil libertarians and wilderness lovers have common cause here, and both groups need all the help they can get.

Jimmy Tobias is a contributor to Writers on the Range, a column service of High Country News (hcn.org). He is a freelance journalist and former trail worker with the Forest Service, and worked last summer in the Frank Church, River of No Return Wilderness.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Whether they hide in sidewalk cracks or sprawl across lawns, dandelions delight the eye, but not the nose.

TARAXACUM SEASON have you ever noticed nature’s skill with combining complementary

colors? It exceeds the talent of many artists. When you are in the red rock country of the Southwest you see tints of flowers and tree leaves that fit perfectly with colors of the surrounding rock and ground. In colorful Colorado, one flower balances high-altitude blue sky with high-country green foliage: Taraxacum officinale.

I think Colorado chose the wrong blossom for its state flower. That choice, the shy columbine, is delicately beautiful but it’s simply not a standout. Picky about where it puts down roots, a columbine resembles the color of stonewashed jeans left to dry in the sun too long. Bright Taraxacum, however, is easily seen practically everywhere, especially in the spring. Personable and prolific, it would make a fine state flower were it not for its common name, dandelion.

Dandelions no longer dominate Pitkin County like they did when I was a child.

They have suffered; their soft cheery flowers have been under-appreciated.

Gardeners eradicate them on sight.

Homeowners douse their lawns with weed killer, an uncommon practice that few thought necessary when I was young.

Back then, the Aspen spring burst forth as yellow as it was green. Autumn gold aspen leaves were as much a cause for celebration then as they are now, but so were dandelion blossoms, even for those

DANDELIONS MAY HAVE BEEN UNPOPULAR WITH RANCHERS, BUT ASPEN’S RESIDENTS MADE USE OF THEM. ALL OF THE PLANT IS EDIBLE, MOST FAMOUSLY THE GREENS.

SOME OLD TIMERS TELL OF MAKING DANDELION WINE, BUT ASPEN SHOPKEEPER PAT MOORE MUSED, “THE IDEA OF DANDELION WINE IS BETTER THAN THE REALITY.” ranchers, claimed in 1900 that dandelions were introduced to Pitkin County by accident. An unnamed woman planted seeds she thought would grow into desirable flowers. Dandelions spread even faster than most noxious plants and soon they became the scourge of valley ranchers.

famously the greens. You could rid your lawn of the weed and put a vegetable on your table all in one fell swoop. Some old-timers tell of making dandelion wine, but Aspen shopkeeper Pat Moore mused, “the idea of dandelion wine is better than the reality.”

During the mining-era dandelions —

most likely their milk — were used as a common ingredient in medicine. Like most of the other patent remedies of the period, the dandelion’s curative power could end all diseases and maladies. I remember milking dandelions for fun when I was a child. I was fascinated with the long stems that looked like hollow straws when you cut off the top and looked inside. My mother was not too pleased with my investigations because they required kneeling on the ground in my blue jeans, spotting them with sticky dandelion stains.

Dandelion season, seemingly endless in Aspen, was not a favorite of my sister or others allergic to the bright yellow flowers.

The pollen count for dandelions can seem as high as the number of plants growing in Aspen’s backyards and parks. My sister was so allergic that she eventually developed a mental allergy on top of her olfactory one. When we went for a spring drive she would roll up the window and then roll her eyes because just the sight of dandelions made her sneeze.

My mother was born missing an important digit; she had no green thumb. She would proclaim, especially in May, that the only flowers she could cultivate were dandelions. I think she would have felt proud to say that had Taraxacum been the state flower.

Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective. Reach him at redmtn2@comcast.net.

“STILL HUNTING for third bear,” read a headline in the Aspen Daily Times on April 26, 1905, in reference to an expedition by President Theodore Roosevelt. According to the article, while on a hunt near New Castle, “President Roosevelt has cut two more notches on the stock of his trusty Springfield hunting rifle, indicating that he had added two more bear scalps to his list, the result of yesterday’s chase. There are now three notches on the rifle stock and the president hopes to make it an even dozen before he returns to civilization. The party started out early this morning and was soon on the trail of another bear which should be killed by nightfall, if all goes well. The two brown bears bagged yesterday furnished plenty of exciting sport for all members of the party but the happiest man was President Roosevelt, who was accorded the privilege of shooting both.

One shot each sufficed to bring down the game.” Roosevelt enjoyed hunting in the Glenwood Springs and New Castle areas, and the photo above shows him in Glenwood, shaking the hand of young Aspen resident Dorothy Koch Shaw.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

CAMELBAK: A QUARTER-CENTURY STRONG

THE STORY IS LEGEND among outdoor gear geeks. In 1988, during a bike race called the Hotter ‘N Hell Hundred, a vision of something that would become the CamelBak hydration pack was had by a parched rider named Michael Eidson.

He designed a water-carrying system using a hospital IV bag held in place by a tube sock. It sat supported above a bike jersey pocket, and a drinking hose clamped with a clothes pin came up and over Eidson’s shoulder to offer H2O hands-free.

What today is a common piece of gear was back then a wild invention. It launched

12

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

F

commercially in 1989 and gained popularity as riders around the country were exposed to a new way to drink.

Today, 25 years later, CamelBak is a major brand in the bike and outdoor industries. I have personally consumed likely thousands of gallons of water through a CamelBak hose on adventures around the world.

For this column, I have tested CamelBak gear and covered the company for more than a decade, including its hydration packs, reservoirs, bottles, and a UV water-purification system.

I once was allowed to snoop around in the company’s R&D

S e pte m b e r 4 - S e pte m b e r 10 , 20 14

lab to see prototype products like a military-spec water bladder made to be impermeable to chemical attacks. There was a comically massive CamelBak reservoir in the lab that could hold 10+ gallons of water and hydrate a small crowd.

This year, CamelBak unveiled a pitcher called the Relay made for home or office use indoors. It has carbon filters to remove chlorine and other chemicals to improve taste. I use it every day in the GearJunkie office.

Beyond its products, CamelBak operates a “Ditch Disposable” campaign that works to diminish the use of throwaway

plastic bottles. The company cites it has discouraged the use of millions of disposable bottles by offering free filtered water at music festivals and events.

CamelBak is headquartered in Petaluma, Calif. Its reservoirmanufacturing facility is in Mexico, where it owns the facility and employs the staff.

The next time you sip from a drink hose remember the IV bag and the tube sock. You can thank CamelBak for the upgrades and the product innovations along the way.

WINEINK

A NEW HARVEST. A NEW SEASON. THIS IS THE BEST time of year.

Not only is this the season when the vines are bursting with grapes, heavy with juice and pregnant with the possibility that they will become great wines in the future, it is also the beginning of the football season.

The confluence of these two events sent me to one of America’s great wine and football cities, KELLY J. Seattle, home of the HAYES Super Bowl Champion Seahawks and the focal point of the Washington wine scene.

Tonight, Sept. 4, the NFL season kicks off with the Hawks hosting the Packers. Yes, Denver, this could have been you hosting tonight’s opener had it not been for the corked performance turned in by the Broncos last Feb. 2 in New York.

Earlier this week, in anticipation of the start of both seasons, I sat down in Tulio, the outstanding Italian restaurant in Seattle’s wine-centric Vintage Hotel (I smell a future column) to taste a wine made by a former football star, the 2011 Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon. The connection was too perfect to ignore.

There are a number of exfootball players who have aligned themselves with wine. But few have done so with the focus, intensity and success of Drew Bledsoe. Drafted by the New England Patriots in 1993 with the No. 1 overall pick, Drew played 14 seasons with the Patriots and Buffalo Bills, ending his career in 2006 with the Dallas Cowboys.

In wine terms, probably four of those seasons would have achieved scores of 90 points or better.

Drew developed a love for wine while playing in the NFL and a particular passion for Cabernet Sauvignon. Raised and schooled in Walla Walla, Washington, one could surmise that his affliction with the Cab bug was near genetic.

But as a youth playing sports 24/7/365, Drew’s attention to

14

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

F

the nascent wine industry in his hometown was secondary at best.

This, despite the fact that it was budding literally right down the street.

In fact, when he was growing up, Drew’s next-door neighbors were the Figgins family, who established Walla Walla’s first commercial winery in 1977 and are today recognized as one of Washington’s first families of wine. Their Leonetti Cellars helped to put, not just Walla Walla, but Washington state wines, on the proverbial map.

Decades later, following retirement from football, Drew began to contemplate getting into the wine business. He dabbled with some fits and starts in a couple of ventures, including one with fellow former NFL QBs Dan Marino and Damon Huard (who are releasing their new label, Passing Time, next February) but nothing seemed to click. So he called an audible.

In 2006, Drew contacted Chris Figgins, the second generation of the winemaking family, and said he had a singular goal to produce great Cabernet from the Walla Walla Valley. Chris, who in junior high had been taught by Drew’s mother, a teacher, had followed Drew as a member of the Walla Walla Blue Devil gridiron squad before growing up to become an accomplished winemaker, toiling with not just the Leonetti wines but his own Figgins Family Wines as well.

The conversation led to the planting of two vineyards in the southern section of the Walla Walla Valley and the creation of a Bordeaux-style Cabernet Sauvignon called, appropriately, Doubleback.

“Drew’s dream is to produce a wine that is an elegant expression of the southern Walla Walla terroir,” Chris told me in a telephone interview. “These wines capture both the elegance and power of the region and these vineyards.” My tasting of Doubleback confirmed what Chris said, but with some surprises.

While the 2011 vintage was

S e pte m b e r 4 - S e pte m b e r 10 , 20 14

especially cool, and Chris had mentioned the floral, feminine notes of the wine, I had not expected the wine to be so approachable at such an early stage of its development. My first sip was lush and light despite the deep red color of the wine. Where I expected to be bopped by tannins, the wine had a great weight and mouth feel. Sheri Kelly, beverage director of Tulio, who was kind enough to host this Seattle tasting, noted right away that there were hints of cinnamon and vanilla and that the tannins did not really kick in until a touch later. Touchdown.

We sat and sipped a wine that we both thought would be outstanding with a big steak, but was equally enjoyable on its own.

An accomplishment for a wine of its youth and varietal. Plus, we both “oo-ed” and “aww-ed” at the beauty of the elegant packaging. With

a short foil capsule, a clean and simple logo and a golden font that runs vertically on the spine of the bottle, it simply looked appealing.

The second half for Drew Bledsoe is off to a great start.

Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and black Lab named Vino.

He can be reached at malibukj@ aol.com.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE COS FRAPPATO 2008 “You have COS?!!! I Love Cos!!!” exclaimed my friend (who shall remain nameless due to her professional affiliations) in an ecstatic explosion of enthusiasm. Yes, in fact on the ever-so great Italian wine list at Tulio, the restaurant at Seattle’s Hotel Vintage, was a bottle of Frappato. I know, I had never heard of the grape either. But the wine was sublime. A light rusty color with hints of earth and luscious strawberry notes, this natural wine from Sicily was indeed a revelation. I, too, will be ecstatic when I write about it in the future.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

ROB ZACK GETS FRESH

THE HOTEL JEROME CHEF DISHES ON GREENHOUSES, EVOLUTION, AND THIS WEEKEND’S HARVEST PRIX-FIXE MENU IF ANYONE HAS watched the Aspen food scene blossom, it’s chef Rob Zack. Originally from Cleveland, Zack arrived in Aspen 20 years ago to work as a line cook at the Hotel Jerome.

Following stints at a number of other top area restaurants, he returned to his old stomping grounds in 2012 to shepherd the kitchen through AMANDA a major four-month RAE renovation of the iconic hotel. Now, after two years reinterpreting Hotel Jerome’s Prospect Restaurant, J-Bar, and Living Room for modern times, Zack is back in the groove.

“We are changing Prospect up, taking a more casual approach,” Zack said when I sat down with him in the Living Room last week. “It’s what we’ve been doing all summer, which has been a success.”

To celebrate peak harvest season, Zack is offering a fourcourse vegetarian prix-fixe ($59; wine pairings, $30), in addition to the regular Prospect menu, on Sept. 5 and 6. Dishes may evolve based on what’s available, but all will focus on the freshest ingredients from local farms: Heirloom tomato, Palisade peach, and micro basil salad with roasted tomato vinaigrette; Olathe white corn agnolotti with brown butter and Avalanche chèvre; roasted vegetable torte with pesto and olive emulsion; and white chocolate panna cotta with Rocky Ford cantaloupe sherbet.

Is creating a produce-centric meal challenging for a chef who extolls the virtues of 7X Beef from Hotchkiss and who learned the art of charcuterie from his Polish grandmother, proprietor of a butcher shop? Read on to find out.

So, why a vegetarian prix-fixe menu?

It’s really not about the vegetarian aspect. We’re trying to

F

capitalize on the peak season in Colorado: vegetables, fruits. It’s a good value and a way to try some really fresh ingredients.

What are your challenges?

Well, nature, really. You never know, something might not be available. I was in Paonia at the Farm Fresh Café a couple of weeks ago, and they have the advantage of creating their menu based on what’s outside their back door. I don’t have that luxury.

You’re also a much larger operation.

I still have to put tomato on the burger because people would freak out if I didn’t; in a hotel environment, that’s hard to break.

I changed to 7X Beef this summer (and) I was really nervous. I knew it was excellent, but any time you change anything — and God forbid you change anything on the J-Burger — people…start writing letters to the editor! We had to charge more money, but they trusted me, and it’s been a huge success. That’s a good example of how elevating food and using local, better product translates to good PR. So the tomato stays in the picture?

The burger doesn’t come with tomato; it’s on request. Part of that was seasonally driven. I was tired of seeing tomato and lettuce come back, scraped off on the side.

It’s wasteful.

Now you’re creating this harvest menu on a whim.

This was the compromise, freeing me up to do what I can, based on what’s available.

Do you grow anything on-site?

We’re growing herbs out there.

They’re talking about re-doing the courtyard and the pool; I want to get a greenhouse somewhere, (maybe) on the roof. Some of the first French chefs at the Jerome, when it opened 125 years ago, had a greenhouse out back.

S e pte m b e r 4 - S e pte m b e r 10 , 20 14

Have you gardened much before?

No, I can’t say I have a green thumb. But our banquet chef, Ed Curtindale, has a garden and he’s pretty confident. Our new chef de cuisine, Jason Niederkorn, is from California. He’s been great to have around, going forward (with) ideas like this.

Was sourcing fresh produce different when you arrived in Aspen?

Gosh, that was 1994. Back then, you didn’t hear about anything. You knew about Paonia and the tomatoes, peaches, and cherries. That was about it. We were still looking for the freshest ingredients, but we usually found them through specialty (vendors based elsewhere). Now it’s switched toward local stuff.

How has the food scene changed in 20 years?

The evolution is interesting.

Nowadays people are finally starting to understand sustainability and the importance of freshness. It’s funny to hear that it’s a trend, because I think it’s what chefs do all the time.

The local, seasonal, farm-to-table

thing — people expect it. Putting McClure potatoes on our menu doesn’t mean they’re going to sell, because people are like, ‘Well, why weren’t you using this before?’

Which is good. It’s driven us all up to another level of quality.

What’s your relationship with area farms?

We get a lot of stuff from Hillside Acres. And Eagles Springs — they have a beautiful facility.

They’re producing for Whole Foods, which is great, but they need to start working with chefs to see what (we) want. They were growing all these herbs — micro herbs at the stage I saw them — and I said, Why don’t you just sell me that whole tray of herbs, in the dirt? Because micro herbs die quickly. Now I saw the product sheet: Trays of herbs.

I hope to develop good relationships with these farmers, help them get better, more consistent. I think that’s what we’re all trying to do. And I hope people think twice about where they go to eat.

What are you eating fresh this week? Write to: amandaraewashere@gmail.com

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by SAMANTHA JOHNSTON

MAKE IT 1 oz. dry gin 1 oz. fresh-squeezed lemon juice 5 oz. simple syrup (see recipe below) .5 oz. Aperol Blood orange wedges to garnish Muddle blood orange wedge in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and other ingredients.

Mix well.

Strain into a martini glass.

SIMPLE SYRUP RECIPE 2 parts sugar 1 part water

AUTUMN BLOSSOM

Bring water to a boil.

Dissolve sugar into the boiling water, stirring constantly.

Once the sugar is completely dissolved, remove the pan from heat. Don’t allow the syrup to boil for very long or it will become too thick.

Cool completely and then bottle.

To lengthen the shelf life, add about a tablespoon of vodka.

One of my favorite times of the year is late summer — when it feels like fall, but there is still a solid month to go before the calendar calls it fall. I love this classic “transition” cocktail; it’s light enough for summer and rich enough for autumn. This cocktail really is better with gin than vodka. The bitter bit of Aperol is perfectly paired with gin. I’ve had the vodka version, but it’s a bit too bitter for my palate. The blood orange is the perfect color for a fall table setting, but the drink is good enough to just whip up for impromptu guests. No table setting needed.

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

The author accepts the Ice Bucket Challenge — at the top of Colorado’s highest peak.

THE ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE

SOCIAL MEDIA’S POWER TO FUNDRAISE FOR A CAUSE LAST SATURDAY, at the top of the highest peak in Colorado, where temperatures were below freezing and winds were getting up to 30 mph, I dumped an entire bucket of snow over my head. I did this to complete the Ice Bucket Challenge.

I was under the impression that I had dodged a nomination for this challenge, which was perfectly BARBARA fine by me. That was PLATTS until one of my best friends from high school shouted my name out in a video on her Facebook before pouring a large bucket on her head.

I had 24 hours to accept her challenge so I decided to complete it at the summit of Mount Elbert (elevation: 14,339 feet).

If you’ve browsed the Internet recently, you’ve most certainly seen at least one person dump a bucket of ice water over their head. This movement is known as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and it’s managed

P H OTO B Y N ATA L I E A N TO I N E

to reach millions of people in just over a month.

The rules are simple. If nominated, the person has 24 hours to either donate $100 to the ALS Association, a nonprofit organization fighting Lou Gehrig’s Disease, or pour a large bucket of ice water over their head. If you go for the latter, it’s important to film the drenching and post it online…with hashtags.

Everyone who completes the challenge is encouraged to nominate three other people to follow in their steps.

The challenge is fun to watch and participate in, but it’s also a true testament to how social media can make change. In the last month, the ALS Association received $100.9 million from more than 3 million donors. This is not even to count the number of people that have dunked buckets of ice on their heads to avoid donating or the large amount of web traffic the ALS Association has received.

This issue was able to take center stage on the Internet by making a very serious disease something we

could all find a sliver of humor in.

And because of that sliver, we all came together. Presidents of the United States, professional hockey players, famous musicians, and even Kermit the Frog have gotten immersed in arctic temperatures for this cause.

With a strong determination to complete the challenge, I headed up Mount Elbert with two friends and a large bucket strapped to my backpack last Saturday. There were many other hikers on the trail and most of them stared at me awkwardly when they saw the unlikely appendage clipped onto my pack. From time to time a fellow hiker would figure out what I was doing and offer words of approval and support.

The closer we got to the top, the windier it became. I wanted to condition myself for the glacial-like temperatures post-bucket challenge so I stayed in my shorts for the entire hike, despite the numerous concerned looks and comments I received.

The summit of Mount Elbert was freezing. Snowflakes were falling

and it looked like a bad storm was only about 30 minutes out. With my hands already numb, I filled my bucket with snow and stripped down to a tank top. After a nip of Fireball to increase warmth, I shook up the bucket to loosen the snow and dumped all of it on my head. Cheers erupted from people on the summit as I ran to my backpack to grab every extra layer I had carried up. I can now knock that one off of the bucket list.

Completing the challenge did not make me feel like I knew much more about Lou Gehrig’s Disease or the people who have to suffer with it everyday. It did make me ask more questions though, and seek answers online about the ALS Association and their efforts to find cures. It brought a particular health concern to the forefront of my mind for a couple of days. Which, in this turbulent world of ever-flowing information, is a colossal success.

THE BEARS

ARE BACK IN TOWN

IT COMES AS NO SURPRISE that black bears are being sighted consistently in Aspen again this summer. That happens when you’re located in the middle of the Rocky Mountains at ground zero for the local black bear population.

In Aspen, bear-sighting numbers correlate with the amount of natural food available to the bears.

It’s pretty simple: if there’s natural food, the bears have no need to access human garbage, but if that food supply is off, the bears know where to go for other free food options.

This year in the Aspen area, the natural-food supplies are spotty if best.

ASPEN TIMES FILE PHOTO

by MICHAEL MCLAUGHLIN

According to Jonathan Lowsky, the principal wildlife biologist with Colorado Wildlife Service, three of the main late-summer and fall staples for local black bears are chokecherries, serviceberries and acorn nuts.

“The bears should be eating the berries right now, but those crops are poor at best,” Lowsky said. “There should be a good fall crop of acorns and that’s crucial for the bears as they prepare for hyperplasia.”

In the meantime, many bears know there’s food around town, as evidenced by their persistence.

They’re also learning that there’s plenty of garbage downvalley, where there are no ordinances requiring bearproofing your trash.

A S P E N T I M E S . C O M / W E E K LY

27

In 2010, the city of Aspen adopted wildlife protection ordinances to deter bear and human conflicts. The ordinances are under Aspen Municipal Code, Wildlife Protection, Chapter 12.08. The ordinances require the use of bearproof trash receptacles and set time limits for when residents can put their garbage out for pickup. Fines can reach up to $999 and a court appearance.

Lowsky said when the natural bear food is low, nature takes over and lowers the bear population to equal the food supply.

“That might mean the older and sick bears pass away, which is fine,” Lowsky said. “It’s nature’s way of self-regulating the bear population. But when the bears find garbage and other human foods, it artificially supports a larger bear population and puts a lot of stress on the natural food supplies. That’s another reason why people need to be more consistent with bearproofing their trash.”

In 2012, the Aspen Police Department received a record 1,040 bear calls, yet fewer bears were relocated (one) or euthanized (two) in Aspen proper than in previous years. There were also significantly fewer trash violations, especially in the residential areas of town.

In contrast, the Aspen Police Department received 52 bearrelated calls during 2013. The significant drop in bear encounters was attributed to a year rich in natural food sources in the high country, as well as increased local bear awareness.

In August 2013, the Aspen Police Department received four bear-sighting calls. This year, there were 209.

In 2014, the number of bear encounters outside of Aspen in the Roaring Fork Valley has also increased. “I understand the downvalley problem with bears is as bad, if not worse, than upvalley,” said Pitkin County Open Space and Trails Ranger John Armstrong.

When Glenwood Springs Police Chief Terry Wilson was asked if there’s been a spike in local bear sightings this year, he said that was a distinct understatement.

“It’s been a very prolific year for bear sightings in the Glenwood Springs area,” Wilson said. “For the past month, our daily reports always seem to include the fact that there were too many bear sightings to get to.”

Armstrong agreed with Lowsky’s observations and said he’s only seen maybe 10 percent of the usual amount of serviceberries.

Armstrong said it appears the bears are looking for other food sources already.

“Up on Smuggler Mountain, I’ve never seen so many torn up logs,” he said. “The bears will rip apart logs looking for bugs.”

THE ‘BEAR’ FACTS • In Colorado, black bears can be various shades of color, from black to brown to blonde.

• More than 90 percent of a black bear’s natural diet is grasses, berries, fruits, nuts and plants. The rest is primarily insects and scavenged carcasses.

• Black bears are wary of people and unfamiliar things. Normally, their response to danger is to run away.

• In Colorado, black bears are active from mid-March through early November. When food sources dwindle, they head for their winter dens.

• A black bear can smell food 5 miles

away. Their nose is 100 times more sensitive than a human’s.

• Black bears have excellent memories.

Once they find food, they continue coming back to that location for more.

• During late-summer and early-fall, black bears can require up to 20,000 calories per day to gain enough weight to hibernate through the winter without food or water.

• Black bears aren’t naturally nocturnal, but frequently travel at night to avoid human interaction.

BOTTOM LEFT: Aspen businesses that don’t secure their trash can be cited, according to local law enforcement.

BOTTOM RIGHT: When bear activity is high, local campgrounds — such Difficult, just east of Aspen — have placed restrictions on camping in tents or soft-sided campers.

Lowsky said that as the leaves begin to change colors locally, it’s a sign the bears will need to begin preparation for hibernation. At that time, an adult bear generally needs to add between 10,000 and 20,000 calories a day, and for a lactating or pregnant female bear, they’ll need even more calories.

Armstrong said he’s seen a noticeable increase in the black bear population since bear-hunting restrictions were added about 15 years ago.

“I didn’t like the way the bears were hunted or the use of baiting and hunting with dogs, which is illegal now in Colorado,” Armstrong said. “But I also don’t like seeing wild animals reduced to garbage scavengers. It’s a shame to see such a beautiful species reduced to that.”

For Blair Weyer, the public information specialist for the Aspen Police Department, the goal now is to keep bear and human encounters to a minimum. If there are encounters, she wants to make sure the public knows how to react.

Weyer said the biggest safety concerns happen when a bear gets put into an unnatural situation where it feels trapped or threatened. An incident this past July hit close to home for Weyer when Erin Smiddy, an off-duty Pitkin County sheriff ’s deputy, was injured by a black bear she startled that was Dumpster-diving in an alley in Aspen.

She said it’s critical that the public remain diligent about keeping trash away from the bears. Weyer also wants local businesses to be more responsible about securing their trash — or they will be cited.

“It’s not just for our safety,” Weyer said. “It’s also for the bears. Fortunately, the officer that was injured earlier this year is fine. We don’t want the bear situation to get to the point of something tragic happening.”

When a bear has a physical encounter with a human, it will be euthanized if caught.

Lowsky said there has been only two documented human fatalities caused by a black bear in Colorado in the past 100 years. He said humans aren’t on the black bear’s menu.

“For the most part, a black bear isn’t dangerous, unless cornered or threatened,” he said. “As long as a bear has an escape route, there shouldn’t be a problem. When a bear is cornered, it’ll do what’s necessary to get free. If you see a bear coming at you, step aside and let it go by.”

Armstrong said bear education is readily available but isn’t sure everyone is taking it seriously.

“The fact that a bear’s life depends on it should require some level of seriousness,” he said.

Following are a few bear-encounter stories that higlight these points.

WINNIE THE POOPER Two weeks ago, the Snow Queen Victorian Bed & Breakfast had guest that was a little too eager to enjoy the accommodations at the lodge on East Cooper Avenue.

Around 4 a.m., a large bear pushed open the unlatched front door and went to the kitchen for a meal. The bear got into some cupboards, then found the larger of two kitchen refrigerators.

“The bear had a feast,” said Marget Baker, the innkeeper at the lodge. “It took the lid off the cream cheese and drank our half and half creamer. That bear pretty much sampled everything.”

As the bear helped itself to the second kitchen refrigerator, Baker, who sleeps above the kitchen, heard ASPEN TIMES FILE PHOTOS

“About 10 years ago, I had been out of town on a ski trip to South America. The night before I came home, a particular bear had been in my house and had been sleeping in my guest bed. He also left a steaming present for us. The bear had ripped my sliding glass door out. That bear was really big, maybe 500 pounds, and was nicknamed ‘Fat Albert.’ I was hoping he wouldn’t come back, but he did. He assumed it was his house. (Note: An accident in 1982 left Isaac paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair.)

I was in my bed and around midnight, woke up because I could hear the bear cleaning out my refrigerator. I have an intercom and called my helpers, but funny enough, they didn’t respond.

I’m lying in bed and can hear Fat Albert walking down the hall towards me. I could hear his nails clicking on the floor, getting closer and closer to my room. I guess he was looking for whatever tidbits he could find. All I could think was, ‘I’m screwed.’ There wasn’t anything I could do and I knew it was a real big bear. I could hear him breathing in my room. It was like a horror movie. I was facing away from the door and couldn’t turn around or get out.

Fortunately, the bear left. The next day I got up and everything was pretty much trashed.

He pulled the refrigerator apart. I called the wildlife guys because I didn’t know what to do.

I came into work that day and got a call saying, ‘He’s back!’ for the third day in a row. One of the wildlife guys went to my house and saw the bear had cleaned out any remaining food in the refrigerator. The bear was lying on the floor in the dining room, under the table, sleeping.

The wildlife guy couldn’t wake the bear up. He had to kick him. He didn’t want to shoot the

the commotion. When she looked through the kitchen door and saw the bear, it was literally 2 feet in front of her.

“I could see it and smell it,” Baker said. “I banged on the door to startle it, but it just snorted at me and slammed the door with its paw.”

That was enough for Baker, who ran upstairs, grabbed her cat and locked herself in the bathroom.

The bear continued to eat and also made several smelly bear poops. The bear walked through its feces and had poop all over its paws.

“There were poopy paw marks all over our counters,” Baker said. “There was black poop all over our curtains. It was tracked everywhere.”

As the bear looked for an exit, it ripped off the screen doorframe and part of the

bear because he figured the bear would go ballistic and finish the house off. Finally, Fat Albert got up and wandered off. He didn’t like being kicked so much. He was known around the neighborhood because he had really been casing the whole east end of town. He was so big — nobody was going to challenge him. The wildlife guys asked me if I wanted the bear euthanized, but I didn’t want any part of that. Unfortunately, Fat Albert eventually had to be put down. He had stuck his head in a house where there were some little kids. They realized that even though he really hasn’t done anything threatening to people, he was a menace. I basically like our bears. You just have to be careful not to threaten them.”

– Tom Isaac, Pitkin County Assessor

front doorframe, but didn’t open either door.

When the police arrived, the bear was lying on the floor grunting at them. The police opened the back and front doors, but the bear wasn’t going anywhere.

Finally, the police used a beanbag gun to encourage the bear to leave.

The bear caused more than $1,200 worth of damage and left its smelly calling card throughout the lodge. A trap was put outside the lodge the next two nights, but the bear ignored it and tried unsuccessfully to get back in the lodge.

“Now I latch every door here at night,” Baker said. “We named it, ‘Winnie the Pooper’ for obvious reasons. By the way, I saw another bear last week eating some pizza in our alley. It ate the toppings and left the crust. Only in Aspen ...”

BE BEAR AWARE If you encounter a bear in town, remember to: Stay calm and don’t run.

Back away slowly.

Avoid eye contact.

Never feed a bear.

Leave cubs alone.

Keep pets on leash.

Do not gather around.

Fight back if attacked.

BUZZED BEARS In 2009, Bill Dinsmoor, the owner of the Main Street Bakery, had a couple of mother bears and cubs terrorizing the back of his establishment. The bears had broken into his walk-in freezer numerous times.

“They tore the door off my walk-in freezer,” Dinsmoor said. “I found out that the Fish and Wildlife people in Wyoming had success with an electric pad and they were dealing with some bigger bears up there. We were having problems late at night and it sounded like a good idea.”

When asked if the pad was effective, Dinsmoor had to chuckle.

“Absolutely,” he said. “The bears are a quick study and they didn’t like the pad. It worked perfectly and those bears didn’t come back.”

NOTEWORTHY Black bears will eat just about anything with calories, including your leftover garbage. Bears want the most calories that require the least amount of effort. Roaring Fork Valley residents should remember to: Secure your trash.

Remove birdfeeders.

Keep BBQs clean.

Keep pet food indoors.

Keep garage doors closed.

Secure windows and doors.

Be responsible about trash and bird feeders.

Don’t leave food or trash inside your vehicle.

Pick fruit before it ripens, clean up fallen fruit.

GUARDING THE GARBAGE When general contractor Kirk Leintz visited the Pitkin County landfill on Aug. 23, he counted six bears hanging out at the garbage dropoff area. “A landfill employee was chasing the bears away with one of those crushing vehicles,” Leintz said.

“He was trying to open a window of opportunity to drop off our garbage.

He would move one bear and another would just move in and take its place.”

Finally, the bears were moved away from the front of the dropoff area, but the largest of the bears was still hanging out about 10 feet from Leintz’s car.

“A landfill employee told me to get out of my car and drop off my garbage,” Leintz said. “I told him, ‘No way, that bear is going to eat me,’ and I left with my garbage still in the car.”

THIS PAGE: Simple measures — like using food storage lockers while camping and leaving bears be when seen in the area — can help keep people and bruins safe. When bear-human interactions become problematic, the animals can be euthanized; in the bottom photo, a Colorado Division of Wildlife officer prepares to fire a tranquilizer dart into a young bear in the trees above him; the bear had scratched a dozing woman on her patio and was euthanized.

BEAR BLOTTER

BRANCHING OUT “Recently in Aspen, I actually had to yell at a drunk that was getting right under a small tree a bear was in. The drunk was about to shake the tree. Worse, he was trying to get his girlfriend closer in with him. What a gentleman. If the bear fell out of the tree it could have squashed the guy and hurt the bear. This would have been one angry wild animal in a mall full of people.

The fix is easy and it’s all on us. Residents should put their trash out the morning of pickup and use the latches. Restaurants, this is BIG because great food makes great and smelly trash. Last person out needs to be trained, drilled and checked on that they close and secure dumpsters. Bars and restaurants open late need to secure dumpsters before closing.

No trash or spilled food on the ground. If your Dumpsters cannot be secured and/or are not bearproof, get that remedied ASAP. If the garbage won’t all fit, keep it inside.

City government, please get out there and check the alleys and neighborhoods. Some establishments will need warnings and maybe a fine or two to get with the program.

The bears love the garbage, hence the problems. People seem to think it can’t be helped. That’s a huge cop out.

There’s also the crabapple trees. A good friend told me that in Snowmass Village they used some kind of spray on the crabapple trees to prevent the blossoms from bearing fruit.

Not sure what the environmental fallout of that is, but it’s an interesting idea as a stopgap to planting something else. I’ve also seen crabapple trees online that have beautiful blossoms but won’t produce fruit. That sounds like a win-win situation.”

-Peter Grannis, Aspen

ASPEN TIMES FILE PHOTOS

The following two stories come from Aspen Police officers, courtesy of Blair Weyer, community relations specialist for the Aspen Police Department. Both incidents happened several years ago in the Aspen area: “A very large bear once ate between 2 and 5 pounds of cocoa mix. It gave the bear a nasty stomach ache, and it laid around for quite sometime before Colorado Parks & Wildlife were able get there to relocate the bear. Unfortunately, they didn’t get there quite quick enough and the bear wasn’t able to keep down the cocoa mix...I’ll let you fill in the blanks.”

“Two patrol officers were dispatched to a home with a bear reported inside. As the officers were clearing the home, one walked downstairs into an entertainment room. He rounded a corner and immediately came face to face with a full-sized snarling stuffed grizzly bear standing on its hind legs with its paws up. The officer quickly retreated bumping into his partner. The stuffed bear narrowly escaped fate that day, as did the black bear, which was nowhere to be found by the time officers arrived.”

STATE OF THE ART THE RED BRICK CENTER FOR THE ARTS’ fourth biennial, in theory, offers a snapshot of the current moment in the local visual arts scene. Some themes or dominant trends may emerge over the next month as you spend time with the work in the exhibition, which opens Thursday. It may not indicate a particular movement taking hold in the valley in 2014, but it no doubt showcases a fertile local arts scene, as evidenced by the 37 works featured in a cross-section of a diverse field of Aspen-area artists whose work cuts across media and style.

“It was all over the place,” Red Brick executive director Angie Callen said of the submissions for the juried show.

The three-dozen-and-one works in the show include traditional landscape paintings of local scenes, like Michael Kinsley’s “Dry Woody Creek,” alongside the surrealist oil painting “Bemusement,” by Phillip Hone Williams. The fantastical scene in “Bemusement” shows circus scenes, an orderly riding a gurney, a slot machine in a thought bubble from a man in Victorian garb.

Michele Cardamone’s “Windy Day” is a black-and-white photograph of skiers hiking a windswept ridge.

Augustin Goba’s “Green, Yellow, Orange Aspen Leaf ” is a digital print on an aluminum aspen leaf. Shelley Bogaert’s “In Between” places three abstract pod-like wall sculptures beside one another.

An oil on canvas piece by Andrew Roberts-Gray shows a mountain scene with abstract yellow and beige patterns overlaid on top of it. Work by well-known local artists like Roberts-Gray hang beside those from newcomers.

“We have 2D and 3D and a lot of artists who applied may never have exhibited their work before,” said Callen, adding that she had previously been familiar with only about onethird of the accepted artists. “There are a lot of new faces.”

The every-other-year exhibition features artists who live in the Roaring Fork and Crystal valleys. This is the first time the Red Brick used a blind jury process for the show. Past biennials used a judging selection process, where applicants offered a number of works, judges selected one from each and everyone who submitted work was included in the show.

This time around, the nonprofit decided to bring in an outside juror — Denver-based art appraiser Kathy Andrews — to select work for the show, aiming for higher quality and less clutter. It’s now the only juried art show in Aspen.

The more competitive process led

to a 50 percent jump in submissions how to present yourself successfully over the last biennial in 2012, as an artist through your bio, your according to Callen. About 80 artists [artist] statement, and that kind of submitted work, she said. thing,” explained Callen.

INTELLIGENT EXERCISE

by WYATT ORME for HIGH COUNTRY NEWS

BOOK REVIEW

‘THE ANSEL ADAMS WILDERNESS’ FOR 25 YEARS, Peter Essick traveled the globe as a National Geographic photographer, and recently he was named one of the world’s 40 most influential nature photographers. In 2010, Essick began “a potentially controversial” project in his native California: shooting in Ansel Adams’ Sierra Nevada and in his signature blackand-white style.

Paying homage to a master without imitating the work is a delicate balance to strike. Essick’s results, though, are stunning. In “The Ansel Adams Wilderness,” he captures groves of shimmering aspen trees and alpine lakes, whose calm surfaces perfectly mirror the granite formations and pine trees above.
