THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with JOHN COLSON

A packrat’s look at political history I HAVE TO ADMIT it, I am something of a packrat. That’s how my spousal unit terms it, though she is guilty of similar traits, if not quite so pronounced as mine. The latest confirmation of this lamentable (at times, anyway) situation came this week, when a bit of plumbing work in the basement forced me to spend some time moving around various boxes of the detritus of our lives together in order to make room for the plumbers. A quick examination (I couldn’t help myself) showed that one box contained a collection of magazines — Newsweek, The Nation and The Washington Spectator, to name a few — dating back to the early 1990s. And there she was, smiling from the cover of the Dec. 28, 1992, Newsweek — Hillary (no Rodham at this point) Clinton, one of several “Women of the Year” highlighted in a story that celebrated the rise of women in politics, business and just about every arena of public life in America. Keep in mind that this was just weeks after the election that first sent Bill Clinton to the White House, when the new first couple were still hanging out in Little Rock, Arkansas. Throughout the yearlong campaign leading to the election, Hillary was a prime target for media types looking for skeletons in the Clinton closets, skeletons that included the Gennifer Flowers affair and claims that Bill pulled strings to get himself out of military service during the Vietnam War. But while Hillary’s toughness as a lawyer, accusations of special treatment of her law firm by the state while Bill was governor of Arkansas and her formidable innate intelligence and feisty nature had been subjected to considerable scrutiny, she was still a relatively unknown if somewhat scary quantity. For the Newsweek treatment, her stylists had gone all out to transform this at-times plain-looking woman into something more alluring, more inviting to the nation’s youthobsessed culture. The accompanying articles zeroed in on Hillary’s high-profile role in the formative work her husband, President Bill, was doing — picking Cabinet members, laying out legislative priorities and other political chores. One article also maintained, “If another Democrat had won the White House (instead of Bill), Hillary would be on his (or her) short list for the Cabinet.” Almost seems as if the magazine, early on, placed itself firmly in the future Hillary4-President camp, deeming her the new president’s “unofficial chief of staff” and “Bill’s Daytimer” (a reference to the onceubiquitous personal-calendar notebooks) and touting her “independent credentials” for being a star in the constellation of

administration luminaries. But the main profile articles also dealt with voters’ lack of comfort with Hillary’s image as a power-hungry maven intent on climbing the political ladder rung by rung, whether behind or in front of her husband. In paragraphs noting the vagueness in all the talk about what Hillary would be doing at the White House, mention was made that she might take on national health care as a way of keeping herself out of trouble. We all know how well that went, of course. She tried, and failed spectacularly, to convince Congress to go along with some kind of national health care system, similar to those in Canada, Great Britain and other First World countries. Clinton-watchers can easily run through the list of scandals that plagued the eight-year Clinton White House, starting in January 1993, with the withdrawal of Zoe Baird’s nomination for attorney general after she admitted to hiring undocumented foreigners to work as domestic servants in her home, a research lapse by Clinton’s handlers, including Hillary. It is interesting to contrast her portrait on the cover and in the inside pages of that long-ago Newsweek edition with the woman who today is arguably still the presumed Democratic nominee for election to her husband’s old job. Back then she was admired as a woman who “never makes the same mistake twice” and the “brain trust” behind her man. Today, she is remembered as having been irreparably tainted by the Whitewater real estate scandal and by the death of Vince Foster, her onetime fellow attorney at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock who died under mysterious circumstances after being named deputy counsel to the president overseeing Hillary’s legal affairs, including Whitewater. She also, of course, is recalled as the woman who “stood by her man” during the Monica Lewinsky mess. But she also is the woman who, in 1995, stepped up to a podium at the United Nation’s Fourth World Conference on Women and declared that “It is no longer acceptable to discuss women’s rights as separate from human rights,” a declaration that gave an incalculable boost to the cause of women’s rights. Today, some voters question her truthfulness and her trustworthiness, largely thanks to potshots by her critics and presidential opponents and the fact that she has not been adept at diverting these attacks or making her own case before the electorate. No real point to be made here, just another item of interest in what will undoubtedly be a very interesting presidential election year.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

After the Panic of 1907, Aspen banks reorganized. D.R.C. Brown opened a new Aspen State Bank in the Cowenhoven Building.

ASPEN’S 1908 REVERSAL The year 1907 was disastrous for Aspen and the country with

a major recession, but 1908 reversed the momentum. For the country, the seminal year of events changed our culture. Aspen mirrored the trends and turned in one of the better economic years in two decades.

Automobiles had become an established pastime of the wealthy in 1908. News of an automobile race from New York to Paris, sponsored by the New York Times, captivated the country. Drivers from France, Germany, and the Thomas Motor Company of America entered the fray. A harebrained scheme started the race in February, so when racers eventually reached the Bering Strait, they could cross on ice. The first 1,000-mile leg, New York to Chicago, took 150 hours to complete. A train could accomplish the same journey in 18 hours. The auto race fostered Americans’ dreams to own an automobile. In that same year Henry Ford introduced the Model T with a price an average American could afford. Car culture was born, and Aspen became a car trip destination. No one in Aspen would attempt to drive a car to Denver during winter. As was true of the international race, the limitation was not the vehicles, but the roads. The trip was much faster by train. The Pitkin County Good Roads League joined forces with the city of Glenwood in an effort to improve roads for cars. With an eye

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

toward attracting summer tourists, they transformed wagon roads into automobile highways. All eyes turned to baseball in the summer. The battle of the New York Giants and Chicago Cubs for the league title went back and forth all season. It ended with a final game to decide who would go to the World Series. That game drew an estimated 250,000 fans most of whom could not squeeze into the chockfull Polo Grounds. Aspen baseball marked a banner year with an outstanding pitcher named Ballinger. They split games with a Denver team that led the state league, and defeated La Jaunta 12 to 6, and Clifton 23 to 9. They were the only team other than Denver that came close against Glenwood all season. Aspen won 4 to 2 when Ballinger pitched a shutout and Glenwood scored on errors. Meanwhile, America’s standing in the world improved. Robert Perry headed to the North Pole in 1908. Frederick Cook had already made it to the pole, but he hadn’t returned. The two expeditions won a dominant spot for America in the polar news. Teddy

Roosevelt sent the Great White Fleet around the world. The Wright brothers bested France’s rapid aeronautical advances with airplane demonstrations at home and in France. They flew at altitudes up to 250 feet for hours, turning circles. The demonstrations made it clear that airplanes were here to stay. The completion of the 700foot Metropolitan Life Building in New York foretold the construction of multiple skyscrapers. The economic recovery from the Panic of 1907 was one of the quickest in our history. Not far into 1908, employment surged. That was also true in Aspen. The Smuggler and Durant mines — two of the largest — had closed in November 1907 when silver and lead prices took a dive. In April of 1908 they reopened and hired 340 men. Silver prices had not improved, but the mining companies had drained their bank accounts to pay to pump water from the lower workings of the mines. They decided they had to either let the mines fill up forever, or resume ore production. The hiring was welcome, although miners had to take a pay cut from $67 to $60 per day, in today’s dollars.

Aspen had an outstanding mining year despite low prices for metal. Smuggler miners discovered a new major ore body with spectacular silver content. The Millionaire and Mayflower tunnels on the Aspen Mountain side of the valley reached a major vein. Several mines on the divide between Queen’s Gulch and Little Annie Basin provided pockets of good ore. What’s more, the Montezuma mine’s owners began major operations, encouraged by talk that someday a railroad extension to Ashcroft might haul their ore. Many consider 1908 to be the year when American consumerism took off. There were more products to buy at lower prices. Workers had leftover coins burning holes in their pockets at the end of the week, at least in cities. The boost in consumerism became evident in Aspen during the Christmas season. Store owners, stocking more merchandise than ever before, had a hard time hiring enough clerks. They kept their doors open until midnight Christmas Eve to handle the crowds of shoppers. Telephone connections expanded that year as well. Aspen was already connected to Denver, but a new line ran to Crested Butte. You could call grandma Christmas day to thank her for presents. 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.

A SCHOOL IS BOR N

1970 ASPEN

“SCHOOL PILOT PROGRAM IS UNDER WAY,” announced The Aspen Times on Oct. 1, 1970. “The Aspen board of education gave its okay Monday for the start Oct. 1 of the pilot school program that originated about a year ago as the Aspen Community School. The program is now part of the public school system, but the cost is being borne by the Community School Foundation. The board gave its approval after Bruce Thomas, representing the foundation, assured the board that $20,000 would be placed in escrow. ... It is expected that about 50-60 students will be taking part in the pilot program. The pilot program is on a trial basis this year and will be evaluated by the board at the end of the period.” Although classes were initially held at the Aspen Center for Physics, the school later got its own building, shown above.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

‘FOLDING’ SHOE? TRY THE VIBRAM FUROSHIKI THE COMPANY that brought the world shoes with toes in its FiveFingers line has introduced footwear modeled after traditional Japanese wrapping cloth. I know, that sentence makes almost zero sense. At first glance, neither do these shoes. Advertised as “outsoles that wrap around your foot,” the Vibram Furoshiki shoes are essentially rubber soles adorned with a swath of stretchy fabric. A wearer “folds” them on, using Velcro as the securing mechanism in lieu of laces. Each fabric end catches a tab once wrapped and folds fully onto the heel. Toes move freely inside of what feel like socks with a thin tread. Rubber phalanges snake up each side. I tested them out this week. You put a Furoshiki on the floor and step on top. Now, grab the fabric and wrap your foot. Walk around and the Furoshikis feel like minimalist house slippers you’d put on at night. They weigh almost nothing, and they roll up small; you could store them in a pocket, folded and ready to deploy. Had this shoe come out a few years back “barefoot” runners, the same ones who ate up the FiveFingers line, might have bought the Furoshikis in droves. The foot can move free, and “ground feel” is off the charts. The tread molds to every bump or crack on the ground, and the fabric stretches in what’s sold as an upper that can fit any foot. I walked around one day, comfortable enough in the hardly-there shoes, though also somewhat perplexed at the best place to wear them in the outdoors. Furoshiki is the Japanese art of packaging items by wrapping them in fabric. Think of a fun, fancy way to wrap a gift. Now apply that to shoes. Add a $110 price tag, and you have what is one of the wildest ideas in footwear this year. The Furoshiki line hits wide www.vibram.com release soon. Wrap one on for a test walk if you can, these Vibrams are a hoot and an interesting diversion in the coursing evolution of new things to put on your foot.

WINEINK

SNOWMASS WINE FEST TAKES FLIGHT AS THE FOOD & WINE Classic in Aspen initiates summer in our Valley, so too the first pour at the Snowmass Wine Festival heralds the beginning of what is, arguably, our most beautiful season, fall. Next Friday evening, Sept. 18, the Snowmass Wine Festival gets underway at the Viceroy Snowmass hotel. Executive chef Will Nolan, who KELLY J. has been receiving HAYES raves all summer long for his masterful mashups of Colorado/’Nawlins/French/Asian cuisines, goes Kiwi as he creates perfect pairings for a tidal wave of wines from New Zealand. Wines from Kim Crawford, Palliser, and Esk Valley will be poured alongside the likes of NZ green-lipped mussels and roasted leg of NZ lamb in a four-course meal that finishes with the sweet taste of Pavlova. At $135 per person, this culinary sojourn to New Zealand will cost you less than the baggage charges on United’s LA-Auckland flight. But best act fast because this special dinner will sell out. Then, Saturday, the main event is uncorked in Town Park as the Grand Tasting begins at 2 p.m. and beguiles wine lovers for three solid hours. Five hundred wines will be poured and 18 of the Valley’s most esteemed restaurants will provide food and fare on what promises to be a golden afternoon in Snowmass. Tickets are $85 (see “If You Go…” on opposite page) and it is guaranteed you will taste wines you have loved before (a Rombauer Chardonnay always goes well with a sunny afternoon), as well as discover new finds. One wine to look for will be the Pinot Noir poured by Oregonbased Left Coast Cellars. On a recent visit to this Willamette Valley winery I was gobsmacked by the beauty of their 356 acres of vineyards and gardens and, more importantly, by the quality of their wines. Interestingly, the impetus for the trip was an Aspen connection. A few years back, a talented and personable Texan ran the wine program at The Little Nell hotel.

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

This was just before the days when the hotel’s Dining Room became a finishing school for Master Sommeliers. Mark Pape was wine director at The Little Nell from January of 1991 until June of 1996. He then took his talents to the Oregon wine country, first opening a restaurant in McMinnville, and now helping the Larson family, who own Left Coast Cellars, present their pride to the world in his role in national sales. Mark always looks forward to returning to Colorado to see friends and sell wines. “Attending the Snowmass Wine Festival each year is one of the highlights of my annual winery travels. It is a small, wellplanned and well-run event that actually sells wine to the end user — the wine drinker,” Mark enthuses. “But beyond the business aspects, it’s always a blast to return to the Roaring Fork Valley, where I spent seven glorious years of my life.” Mark’s professional life is now all about great Pinot from the Willamette Valley. Left Coast Cellars is a family run winery that is focused on producing the best wines possible from their seven sustainably grown estate vineyards in the southern end of the Willamette Valley. Under winemaker Joe Wright and general manager/viticulturist Luke McCollom, they have established a reputation in just a decade for producing wines of substance and finesse in a solar powered winery. Be sure to look for a sampling of the 2013 Cali’s Cuvee, a Pinot Noir named after the family’s left-handed daughter, Cali (a landscape designer in Denver with the Aspen-based Design Workshop), made from a blend of 100 percent Dijon, Pommard and Wädenswil clones. A mouthful and a steal. Just ask Mark, who notes humbly, “Folks will remember tasting a wine that rocks their world and actually retails at an affordable price.” Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Snowmass Village, The Snowmass Wine Festival is in its lucky 13th year. This year the Festival coincides with the 40th anniversary of the Snowmass Balloon Festival and will be

augmented by the Motoring Classic at Aspen Snowmass Mini Concours Event, which showcases the best of American automobiles from the 1965 to the 1995 vintages. The beauty of the balloons, the extraordinary wines (once again selected and curated with care by Sundance Liquor’s Barb Wickes) and the power of the muscle cars add up to make this one of the best weekends of a Snowmass summer that has been perhaps the busiest on record. Catch a bus. Oh, and that stuff about our wine festivals being the precursors of the seasons? This year’s summer solstice occurred on June 21 just as the Food & Wine Classic was

closing. And, like clockwork, 89 days, 20 hours and 27 minutes later, in the wee hours of Sept. 23, the Autumnal Equinox will kick in, just days after the Snowmass Fest has washed their last glass. The synergies of the seasons always astound, and, like the festivals, never disappoint. 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 LEFT COAST CELLARS 2012 SUZANNE’S ESTATE RESERVE PINOT NOIR Nothing but the best grapes are used for this flagship wine named for the matriarch of both the family and the vineyard. Sourced from estate Pommard and Wädenswill clones, this wine is a selection of Left Coast’s very best barrels of wine from that vintage. After 18 months in French oak, it is a big, but balanced Pinot that gives up the flavors of the Oregon earth underneath the ripe red and black fruits. This will be a stalwart of tastings to come.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

FEEDING EACH OTHER

TASTE OF THE VALLEY: A FOOD FEST THAT FEELS GOOD, TOO IT STARTED WITH a thank you note. “I couldn’t understand what he was saying because he was so young, but I got the fact that he was excited to teach his family something,” says chef, caterer, and 14-year local Susie Jimenez. Shortly after tasting television fame as 2011 “Food Network Star” runner-up, Jimenez received a call from AMANDA a third-grade teacher RAE at Basalt Elementary School, imploring her to teach a hands-on cooking class. She did, sending students off with a recipe for chicken lettuce wraps and the confidence to prepare the snack solo. “The son came home with a sparkle in his eye and asked me to take him grocery shopping,” Jimenez recalls the boy’s mother telling her, “so we jumped in the car and went grocery shopping together. Because he did it in the classroom, he knew what everyone had to do. He delegated: ‘Make sure you add that right,’ he said. ‘One plus one equals two—two cups!’ It was the most amazing one-plusone, ever.” Jimenez takes a deep breath and sighs. “What drove me crazy is that I had to ask the teacher for money,” she says. “Teachers don’t get paid enough for this, and it’s coming out of their pocket. I don’t have the finances to do this for free. I know how to cook and have a good time with kids.” So, when Jimenez began planning an autumn food festival to echo her Taste of the Valley rooftop party held at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen in June, she knew what to do. “I decided right off the bat that 10 percent of ticket sales will go to this account for the Roaring Fork School District,” Jimenez says. “That will dictate how many classes I’m able to do. It costs roughly $86 to teach 26 kids — it’s not that much. I’m hoping this becomes a movement that chefs want to be

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

involved in.” Not only does the inaugural Taste of the Valley feast—held at Carbondale’s Fourth Street Plaza on Sept. 19 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. — benefit Jimenez’s new nonprofit Planting Seeds initiative; the local food showcase aims to feed — and educate—a hungry public. For a $50 ticket purchased in advance only, guests will sample food and drink from 17 chefs, distilleries, breweries, and wineries, all located from Basalt to Glenwood Springs and using produce picked from Paonia to Hotchkiss. Every hour, a demonstration stage sponsored by Whole Foods will welcome a different presenter to share recipes and industry tricks. Soupstress Gina Cucina will prepare pasta with roasted asparagus pesto and grilled corn; Sarah Niebler of Sunshine & Moons will share the art of gluten-free baking through angel food cake with peach compote and fresh whipped cream. Farmer, chef, and jack-of-all-trades Jason Smith of Basalt’s Rock Bottom Ranch will butcher a whole pig in front of the audience. “And with that pig I’m making tacos al pastor on a rotisserie,” says Jimenez, who will also whip together a giant pan of Spanish paella and Mexican corn on the cob with queso fresco and lime. A twinkle flashes in her eye. “And a sangria corner with peaches, apricots, plums, and cherries from Hotchkiss and Paonia.” Oh, and boooze will flow in the tents filling the town park across from Main Street’s Pour House pub. Woody Creek Distillers and Marble Distilling are showcasing their entire product lines and mixing up two signature cocktails each; Salida’s Boathouse Distillery will pour tequila and bourbon; and suds will flow freely from Roaring Fork Beer Company and Carbondale Beer Works. There will also be food galore from NoFo Foods — “Megan [MacMillan] did the most amazing empanadas at my Food & Wine party,” Jimenez gushes — plus

10 PERCENT OF TICKET SALES FROM TASTE OF THE VALLEY WILL FUND LOCAL CHEF SUSIE JIMENEZ’S NEW NONPROFIT PLANTING SEEDS INITIATIVE, WHICH FUNDS HANDS-ON COOKING DEMOS IN PRESCHOOLS THROUGH THIRD-GRADE CLASSROOMS IN THE ROARING FORK SCHOOL DISTRICT. Mawa’s Kitchen, Mrs. Barr’s Natural Foods, Riviera Supper Club, and Zheng Asian Bistro; fresh-pressed sips from Tonic Juicery; and espresso and frozen dessert by Rock Canyon Coffee. All participants are donating their time to help Planting Seeds blossom to life. “Aspen’s got its own scene, but there’s a scene downvalley —where all the farms are,” explains Jimenez, who pens a First Friday recipe column for the Glenwood Springs Post Independent and hosts a culinary radio show on KNFO-FM. “You don’t see a cattle farm in the back of somebody’s house in Aspen. From Glenwood to here, there are thousands of restaurants, chefs, catering companies, breweries, farms, orchards, wineries, canning companies, hot sauces…I’m seeing

the connection we all have. I want to pay it forward.” Though the first-annual affair on Sept. 19 is held in Carbondale, Jimenez hopes that Taste of the Valley will grow to include similar fiestas throughout the valley. “It’s not about location, it’s about the culinary movement,” Jimenez says. “I want people to come together for one cause: good food. If you want to be involved in helping kids eat better and this movement that takes us back to cooking basics,” adds the chef, cracking her knuckles beneath a grin, “you’re invited.” See you at Taste of the Valley on Sept. 19! amandaraewashere@gmail.com

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

DOUBLE DUTCH MARTINI Shots can be dangerous, so I try to be cautious when imbibing in

MAKE IT

that way. But there is one liquor that has seemed to get the best of me lately: Van Gogh Espresso Vodka. Served chilled, it’s just too easy to enjoy. In thinking about this — and how to scale back my consumption of straight Espresso Vodka — I was perusing the Van Gogh website and stumbled across dozens of recipes. A few featuring the espresso line caught my eye, many of which are a twist on your basic chocolate or espresso martini. A few that I’ll be trying: Double Dutch Martini, Double Dutch Colada (think espressolaced Pina Colada), Cara Mia (caramel and chocolate) — the list goes on and on. And, of course, if these don’t satisfy my craving, I can always go back to the classic chilled shot.

2 ounces Van Gogh Double Espresso 1 ounce Van Gogh Dutch Chocolate 3/4 ounce chocolate liqueur Splash of cream Fill shaker with ice, and add vodkas, chocolate liqueur and a splash of cream. Shake and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

Libations was created by beloved Aspen Times publisher Gunilla Asher, who died June 2, 2014, after a brave battle with cancer. Cheers — to Gunner!

FEATURING 19 CRIMES RED BLEND The bright hues of dark berry fruits shine as the strong vanilla aroma rises from the glass. Flavors of chocolate and cedar spice are accomplices in a finish that is soft, fruity, and fresh.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

AN AFGHAN MEAL

ALTERING MISCONCEPTIONS AROUND THE DINNER TABLE BEFORE EVEN ENTERING the house, I could smell powerful scents of qorma curry, coriander and turmeric. I didn’t know they were those spices at the time. I just knew that something behind that door smelled incredible. Once I entered, my nose was overwhelmed with flavors. Perhaps apart, those scents would’ve been familiar, but BARBARA cooked together, over PLATTS a six-hour period, they became something I had never tried before: traditional Afghan food. This type of dinner is certainly not typical in Aspen, where finding any kind of authentic ethnic food is close to impossible. Fortunately, I knew Paula Nirschel, a New York native, and Maryam Laly, an Afghan woman. They knew not only how to make food from Afghanistan, but also how to provide a courteous type of hospitality that is routine in the country. After meeting with them a few times, we agreed that showing this to others was important. So I opened up my family’s place here in Aspen for a traditional Afghan dinner and let the two pros take it from there. I met Paula a couple of years ago

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

“IT’S A GOOD WAY TO BRING PEOPLE INTO THE LOVELINESS AND YUMMINESS OF THE COUNTRY BY FOOD AND CLOTHING. I CAN TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE HOSPITALITY AND SHOW THEM THE AFGHANISTAN I KNOW.” - PAULA NIRSCHEL over lunch laps on Ajax. We hit it off immediately. As I got to know her better, outside of skiing, yoga and all of the other fun activities Aspen has to offer, I began to hear more about the work she had been doing for the past decade. She started a nonprofit in 2001, which focused on getting young Afghan women college scholarships in the

S e pte m b e r 10 - S e pte m b e r 16 , 20 15

U.S. Paula brought many young ladies back to the States, helping 55 of them to graduate, an unheard feat in a place where a woman receiving an education could lead to demise for the her family. Paula’s passion for what she had accomplished was evident when she shared stories of the girls. It became concrete when she told

me about the recognition she had received from President George W. Bush and Laura Bush on separate occasions. I was inspired when I heard these stories and was eager to get involved when her next goal for helping Afghanistan came to fruition. Which I knew, for someone with an indefatigable generosity like hers, would not take long. The nonprofit that Paula started in 2001 sounded incredible to me. But I didn’t realize quite how well-known it was among Afghan women until I met Maryam in July. A 23-year old college graduate, Maryam was born in Afghanistan and had been through a lot to get to the U.S. for her education. We quickly got to talking and she was courteous enough to share her story. When Maryam was 6 years old, her family fled Afghanistan due to a civil war that had broken out. She and her family lived as refugees in Iran for three years and then went to Pakistan, in hopes of her parents being able to find work. When she finally made it back to her homeland in 2003, her father suddenly passed away. In 2007, Maryam got the opportunity to come to the U.S. when she became involved in a youth exchange and study program. After a couple of turbulent years

of dealing with scholarships and immigration details, she was enrolled in a boarding school in 2009. She’s been living in the U.S. ever since, recently graduating from St. Lawrence University in New York and taking an internship at the Aspen Institute this summer. “For me, this transformed my life for the better. It’s not easy, but it provided me with so many opportunities and I think I’m a better person as a result,” Maryam said. When she shared this story with me, I told her about my good friend Paula and the work she had done in Afghanistan. Maryam had heard of the organization and was eager to meet the founder of it. A week or two later I introduced them. A short while after that I found myself dressed in a purple chapan (a modern Afghan outfit) drooling over a large batch of qorma (chicken) and a plate full of banjanseyah (eggplant) along with 30 other excited guests. Hosting Afghan dinners is one of Paula’s favorite things to do. She finds them so important because it gives people a chance to see Afghanistan in a different light. Not as it is portrayed on the news, but as it really is in the homes of families through the country, where meals are a chance to spend time with each other.

“It’s a good way to bring people into the loveliness and yumminess of the country by food and clothing,” Paula said of the dinners. “I can talk to them about the hospitality and show them the Afghanistan I know.” At this particular dinner, most everyone was new to Afghan food. We weren’t even sure what to expect. But once everyone arrived we soon found out. To our delight, but not our surprise, the food tasted just as amazing as it smelled.

After dinner, Paula sat the guests down to tell the story about how she came to develop her second nonprofit organization, Action for Afghan Women (AFAW). In August 2013, one of Paula’s students inspired her to focus on women’s health in Helmund, one of the more dangerous areas of Afghanistan where 98 percent of women are abused daily. The graduate, whose name is Basima, is from there and longs to go back as a doctor to help women, who are currently not allowed to seek medical care because all of the doctors in the area are male. Once this idea came to light, Paula wasted no time to get an organization off the ground. “AFAW came from Basima’s care for women in Afghanistan and her desire to be a doctor,” Paula said. The organization’s first steps are to financially support Basima through medical school (she is currently in her second year) while simultaneously building a medical clinic where she will be able to practice when she has her degree. Once all is complete, Basima will be able to serve approximately 20,000 women annually. Once the women are behind the protected walls of the medical clinic, they will also receive human rights counseling. The room fell silent as Paula and Maryam told the story of AFAW

and the bigger problems occurring in Afghanistan today, opening us up to a culture that we all probably had predetermined judgments about. Tensions with Muslim countries are at an all-time high with millions trying to cross borders into Europe to escape the violence and danger in their home countries. That and the constant terrorist threats from groups like ISIS have many people in the Western world scared, and even angry, with Muslims. But meeting someone like Maryam rids you of all those fears. She is kind, welcoming and startlingly genuine. She’s more than willing to share her history and her beliefs and she listens to others with just as much care and interest. Maryam often becomes frustrated by people always seeing her as a representative of her country, but her personality helps me to understand why Paula finds such passion in her work. “I’m not a representative of the entire country,” Maryam said. “I’m just a single person from that part of the world and I have my own biases and my own story. But I do feel obligated to at least show different sides of the country to others.” Toward the end of the talk that evening, another board member stood up to add a thought to the conversation. He said he had a discussion recently with someone about empathy versus compassion and how people usually confuse the two. Empathy helps us to feel the emotions that someone else is feeling, but it does not bring up an actionable course for change. Compassion is what we need to have in order to relate to others and fix the problems we are facing. We all must strive to have compassion for one another. Only then can we work toward a positive change, he said. To learn more about the Afghan dinners and AFAW, please visit afaw.org. Barbara Platts feels so inspired by women like Paula and Maryam. She’s excited to help with the mission of AFAW in the coming years. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

COMMUNITY COUNTS ASPEN COMMUNITY SCHOOL OPENS WITH A REDEVELOPED CAMPUS AND AN EYE TO THE FUTURE by JEANNE MCGOVERN

n the first day of classes at the Aspen Community School, Principal Jim Gilchrist had to remind students more than once how to cross the school’s “Central Area.” Some may have forgotten to walk, not run, through the space. But others might have just have been unsure how to maneuver through the space. It was, after all, brand new to them.

MOMENTS LATER, WHEN GILCHRIST was addressing the 135-member student body in their monthly all-school meeting, he asked what they hoped to bring from their old school building into their new school building. The answers came at him rapid-fire: caring, opportunity, ideas, sharing, brightness, cheerfulness, coziness and pillows. Gilchrist was happy to accept all the suggestions — except one. “I’ve got some bad news: We couldn’t bring the pillows. They were crawling with who knows what,” he laughed. The joke was an apt metaphor for what has recently transpired at the Aspen Community School, a kindergarten through 8th-grade charter school in Woody Creek, where a 13,614-square-foot schoolhouse permanently replaced a 42-year-old log structure that had fallen into deep disrepair. The old building, which Gilchrist said, “was just not up to code, ... that’s the bottom line,” earned the school the distinction of being one of Colorado’s lowest-performing public school facilities (though the school was one of the state’s higher performing schools on the academic side). The unveiling on Aug. 31 of the redeveloped

campus also included a 7,630-square-foot gymnasium (that also can serve as a community hall) and 25,000 square feet of grass playing fields. Four 600-square-foot employee-housing units and a pedestrian-centric reorientation of the campus

are other hallmarks of the $9.1 million project, funding for which came from a $4.2 million state challenge grant that was met by $4.9 million in community giving. “This was truly a grassroots campaign,” said Lara

GREEN MACHINE When the Aspen Community School unveiled its new campus, administrators announced it “will serve as a model for energy and environmental stewardship, educating hundreds of students, families and visitors while saving energy costs to be re-invested in school programs.” According to school officials, the energy design goals were to: improve efficiency, generate renewable energy and promote energy and environmental education. “With its 24kW photovoltaic (PV) solar array, the schoolhouse will be ‘Electrical Net Zero Energy,’ generating as much electricity as it uses. Projected annual energy savings are $22,000 and 75 metric tons of CO2, equivalent to powering four homes or conserving 62 acres of forest sequestering carbon.” Select features include: building into the landscape, access to solar power and daylight harvesting; buildings as teaching tools with dashboards that track electricity, renewables, and gas usage; hyper-efficient construction materials, including aerogel-insulated skylights and condensing boiler; “Energy recovery” air handling units and demand-controlled ventilation systems’ and historic rewrite of State building code to allow for water bottle refilling stations within a public school facility “The green design of the new Community School campus is a natural outgrowth of the school’s long history of cutting edge architecture and education. The school was founded in 1970 as an alternative to conventional public schooling, in which Outdoor Education, exploration and respect for the natural world were among the school’s pillars.” a statement from the school noted.” Creating a campus that ‘reveres the environment’ was one of the four guiding principles of the campus design With these and many other criteria in hand, ACS is in the process of applying for LEED Gold certification for the new construction.

Whitley, communications consultant for the I Believe campus campaign. “We turned the fundraising model on its head with this.” In fact, the entire process of redeveloping the campus was community-oriented. “We wanted to respect the Woody Creek tradition and community, so what we’ve created is funky, rustic,” said Gilchrist, pointing out the three sections of the building comprising wood, stone and metal. “But it is up to code, and our goal is that it will last for another 40 to 50 years.” Another goal set forth by Gilchrist and his team was the inclusion of a true community space in the school, a cornerstone of the old building and the school’s philosophy. “It can be hard to find a sense of community in schools. Our core concept is community, so we wanted to create a space that reflected this value,” he said. The school’s Central Area, a high-ceiling, bright, open space in the center of the building, with views of surrounding pastures and mountains, accomplishes this because, “It’s not just a central area in name; everyone has to pass through here so it becomes a place to work together. ... It’s about being together.” But there’s more to this project than touchy-feely togetherness. ACS has committed to being cutting edge. In fact, if all goes as planned, the campus will serve as a model for energy and environmental stewardship (see “Green Machine,” following page). And while students, faculty, parents and others — including the Tibetan Buddhist monks of the Gaden Shartse Monastery, who blessed the new building on the first day of school — joined together to begin a new school year in a new school building, there is still work to be done. “Today we are celebrating our accomplishments to date, but we’ll have to get back to work,” said Whitley, referring to Phase 2 of the redevelopment that includes replacing the school’s iconic tower (which had to come down due to structural instability), building an outdoor amphitheater on the footprint of the former Central Area and constructing a music and science learning center, with hopes of breaking ground within the next 12 to 18 months. But for now, “this is our sacred space,” Gilchrist said.

“WE WANTED TO RESPECT THE WOODY CREEK TRADITION AND COMMUNITY, SO WHAT WE’VE CREATED IS FUNKY, RUSTIC. BUT IT IS UP TO CODE, AND OUR GOAL IS THAT IT WILL LAST FOR ANOTHER 40 TO 50 YEARS.” - JIM GILCHRIST, PRINCIPAL

jmcgovern@aspentimes.com The Aspen Community School’s new campus was built on “our core concept is community, so we wanted to create a space that reflected this value,” says Principal Jim Gilchrist. The “Central Area” (above), as well as the classroom spaces (top and above) are examples of that design philosophy.

WHAT’S ON FOR OFFSEASON? COMING ATTRACTIONS FOR FALL

THE HURLY-BURLY of summer in Aspen has quickly calmed into the golden autumn of leaf-peeping and uncrowded (maybe just less crowded) streets. While the pace of life slows considerably here after Labor Day, the lineup of arts offerings is rich enough to keep you busy until the ski lifts start up Thanksgiving weekend.

BOOK REVIEW

NOTEWORTHY

‘EPITAPH: A NOVEL OF THE O.K. CORRAL’ EVERY DAY IN TOMBSTONE, ARIZONA, actors re-create the famous gunfight of October 1881, when the Earp brothers — Virgil, Morgan and the legendary Wyatt — along with their friend, Doc Holliday, confronted a gang of local troublemakers known as the “Cow Boys,” in a shootout that wounded several and left three dead. The battle lasted a mere 30 seconds, though in modern cinematic slowmotion it goes on forever. In “Epitaph,” Mary Doria Russell goes beyond the bloody melodrama, turning painstaking historical research into an absorbing 600-page novel that seeks to understand these men and the context in which they lived and fought. Russell writes of the participants, “Whether you live another five minutes or another fifty years, those awful thirty seconds will become a private eclipse of the sun, darkening every moment left to you.” Russell ended her terrific 2011 novel, by PATRICK BERRY / edited by WILL SHORTZ

“Doc,” before Holliday’s brief stint in Tombstone, largely because she felt the O.K. Corral overshadowed the rest of a remarkable life. But now Russell carries forward Doc’s story, as he is increasingly incapacitated by tuberculosis and seldom able to practice his chosen profession, dentistry. As Russell tells it, in fact, Doc first comes to Tombstone in 1880 as a special favor in order to tend Wyatt Earp’s toothache. Russell vividly depicts Holliday’s suffering, both physical and mental: A man whose reputation as an outlaw gunslinger becomes increasingly ridiculous as his strength wanes. Holliday was the main focus of Doc, but dozens of distinctive characters populate “Epitaph,” a story that Russell tells with omniscient aplomb. One standout character is Josephine Marcus, the daughter of a San Francisco Jewish baker who ran away as a teenager to become an actress. She winds up living with Johnny Behan, eventual sheriff 1

of Cochise County, Arizona, a man determined to further his political career by any means necessary, including exploiting the violence plaguing Tombstone. Behan discreetly allies himself with the Cow Boys, thereby rousing Wyatt Earp’s ire and eventually estranging Marcus, who becomes Earp’s lover. “Epitaph” shows how a single bloody skirmish in the streets — a rare occurrence historically — becomes the mythic model of daily life in Western frontier towns. Russell ably evokes this epic myth, which continues to fuel our imagination, but what she really excels at is immersing readers in the reality of life in the early 1880s — the clashing tempers and political factions of people striving for power, fortune or at least a toehold in life amid the day-to-day grit of a rugged desert outpost.
