with JOHN COLSON

This is my story, and I’m sticking to it I THOUGHT I’D TAKE this moment to address those of my critics who have asked me, over my 35 years as a columnist in this area, why I write such angry columns, why I don’t write about the beauties and wonders of life or the humorous side of humanity, instead of the things that I believe are wrongheaded, evil and anti-human. First, I must say that I have written columns about the good I find in life, but readers don’t seem to remember them. True, I haven’t written many of those, but I’ve got a feeling the questions have had more to do with the questioners themselves than with me. The fact is that I, in my own life, believe myself to be a fairly positive guy. I have always had a bedrock faith that there are good people out there doing good things, everywhere and all the time. I marvel at the beauties of the natural world, and I am inspired when a story strikes me as exemplifying what is best about humans and the world we live in. In my work as a reporter, I often write about these people, these activities, these good things. We call them “features” in journalism-speak, and they always have been an important part of every newspaper I’ve ever worked for, from my college days onward. In my columns, however, I feel pushed to focus my small voice on those people, those activities, those governmental and private-sector policies that I believe to be ill-advised at best, or completely wrong and harmful to humanity at worst. You see, from my point of view, there is another fact to be acknowledged here, and that is: The world is in a sorry state, and it doesn’t appear to be getting any better as time rolls along. The global environment is under siege by humanity, from our evergrowing numbers, our ever-increasing output of pollution, trash and now, greenhouse gases, and our seeming determination to exterminate a majority of the animal kingdom. Our human societies are fast sinking into a pit of greed and exclusivity, as the industrial, financial management and wealthy classes in just about every country (I can’t name any exceptions right now, but there may be one or two) focus all their energy on the pursuit of profit over all else. And they do this even when that

pursuit is demonstrably inimical to such concepts as social justice, equality, and preservation of any kind of a decent world and life for future generations. Oh, sure, I can hear the culprits protesting, “But we create jobs, we bring progress, we are the life’s blood of the quest for the improvement of our species.” Well, all I can say is, quoting a hoary old joke, “Denial is not just a river in Egypt.” This kind of self-justification by those for whom the status quo has created “the good life” of luxury and wealth — at the expense of an incalculable number of environmental and social tragedies, and the impoverishment of more and more people every day — is not only inaccurate, it is pathetic. For me, the urge to comment runs as deep as, say, the urge to make money is for a Wall Street stock broker. I suppose you might say my urge to observe critically, and write columns about my observations, has replaced financial self-interest in my outlook on the world. I sure haven’t picked a career that would in any way argue against that supposition. And along the way, at least as a columnist, I seem to have concluded that it is the things that are wrong, in my estimation, that I need to write about most often. As a reporter, I try to tuck my own feelings and opinions into a tight pocket in my brain and focus on the story itself, not what I think of the underlying issues or controversies. I suppose I’m not always completely successful, but I’m human, so I can’t get it all right. But concerning my tendency to zero in on what I perceive as wrong, as a columnist, I plead guilty. There is no end to articles, movies, stage productions and other media about the good to be found in life. And, to me, those examples, along with the emotional reward from doing good things that do-gooders feel, are ample plaudits and acknowledgements. It’s the bad stuff, the stuff I fear and lament, that I choose to highlight, in the hope of sparking a kindred perception that can lead to action to slow down the bad and leave the good more room to grow. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

FILM HOW DID a small town

in rural northern Alabama become a center of the popular music universe? If you build a top-notch studio, they will come — “they” including Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Allman Brothers Band, Aretha Franklin and numerous others. “Muscle Shoals,” a documentary by Colorado-based Freddy Camalier, digs up the story of music lover Rick Hall; the recording facility he built, FAME; and the Alabama town that gave its name to a veritable recording industry, Muscle Shoals. The two-hour film, which shows on Wednesday, Sept. 25 at Aspen Filmfest, offers, in sonic terms, surround sound, weaving together geographical history, music analysis, and profiles of the musicians and producers to illuminate a unique slice of American history. For fans who want to see more music on the big screen, Filmfest also presents “This Ain’t No Mouse Music!” (Thursday, Sept. 26), a portrait of Chris Strachwitz, whose Arhoolie label delves into the sounds of America’s backwoods. Filmfest, with mainstream-ish features, foreign language films, documentaries and a load of guests, runs Tuesday through Sunday, Sept. 2429, with screenings at the Isis Theatre and Paepcke Auditorium.

“Muscle Shoals,” a documentary of the music recording industry in Muscle Shoals, Ala., shows Wednesday, Sept. 25 at Aspen Filmfest.

CURRENTEVENTS WRITTEN WORD GIVE ADAM HASLETT credit for integrity. Haslett writes downbeat stories that don’t compromise their emotions, and trusts that there is an audience that doesn’t require the cheap and ubiquitous happy ending. In “You Are Not a Stranger Here,” from 2002, Haslett told short stories of loners, people with desperate secrets, and characters irretrievably disconnected from the world. The novel “Union Atlantic,” from 2010, expanded the gloom to a tale that took place in near-empty New England houses, the first Gulf War, and the upper reaches of the Adam Haslett, author of the 2010 world’s financial industry. But novel “Union Atlantic,” gives a Haslett’s writing is so evocative reading on Monday, Sept. 23 at the Woody Creek Community Center. and his situations so easy to recognize that the stories bring readers in rather than push them away; he has been a finalist for the Pulitzer and the National Book Award. As part of his month-long residency with the Aspen Writers’ Foundation, Haslett will give a reading on Monday, Sept. 23 at the Woody Creek Community Center.

Singer-songwriter Steve Earle plays Monday, Sept. 23 at Belly Up.

POPULAR MUSIC STEVE EARLE didn’t have the look of a survivor. The Texas product charged out of the gate in the ’80s, giving a hard kick in the ass to country music. He got addicted to heroin, married most any woman who came along, showed the suits in the music industry his middle finger, and wrote songs that reeked of ugly truth. But Earle is not only still around; he survived his reckless-youth stage and has become an elder statesman of old-fashioned, hard-living, truth-telling country music. In his maturity, Earle has mellowed, yes, but has also sharpened his skills as a songwriter. Each new album, and there have been many, is a revelation, whether he is criticizing modern American war efforts or celebrating his adopted home city of Manhattan. His latest, “The Low Highway,” is an examination of the U.S. from the road. Earle, with his long-time backing band the Dukes, plays Belly Up on Monday, Sept. 23.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

For the class of 1966, the halls of Aspen High School had not changed since they started first grade.

ASPEN’S SCHOOLS: THE NUMBERS AND THE STORY Throughout the 1950s, the friend who sat next to you at Aspen High’s graduation was likely the student who sat next to you in first grade. That small school in a small town changed quickly during the 1960s, altering the community fabric in subtle and irretrievable ways. To someone from a city like Los Angeles, Aspen’s schools would appear infinitesimal and immutable. The total school population when I started first grade in 1954 is roughly equivalent in number to those who graduated last year from Aspen High School, But a wave of changes rushed through the school system during my school years. By 1960 — the end of my sixth grade — my class had doubled to 35 students. While our bodies bolted skyward, Aspen took off in its own growth spurt: newcomers outnumbered old-timers 2-to-1. In response, the school system expanded rapidly; a new elementary school building was added the year my class left for seventh grade. By the time we reached high school, new sections split our class for English and the addition of electives reduced class size to fewer than 20 students for many subjects. The graduating class numbered 36 students and subsequent classes shattered that record. Great excitement accompanied the building of a new high school to accommodate

the surge; it opened the autumn after my class graduated. When looking only at the numbers, it appears that a “tiny” school system simply added students and buildings to become a “small” one. However,

depart for higher education and more varied job opportunities. To counter these and other factors, a movement arose in the 1950s to consolidate small schools. A plan materialized to bus Aspen’s high school students

ASPEN’S SCHOOLS RESEMBLED MANY SMALL-TOWN SCHOOLS KNOWN FOR THEIR STABILITY: TEACHERS MOLDED MULTIPLE SIBLINGS AND SOMETIMES SEVERAL GENERATIONS OF A FAMILY. more significant change took place during those years. Aspen’s schools resembled many small-town schools known for their stability: teachers molded multiple siblings and sometimes shaped several generations of a family. Unlike Aspen’s schools, small-town schools that are rural and isolated can become insular, and although student achievement is encouraged, it can be seen as a double-edged sword when a community’s brightest youth

downvalley to join those of other small communities in a regional school. However, Aspen, with its long history of strong education, resisted regionalization and managed to keep its schools intact. Any tendency toward insularity was naturally countered by the addition of new families (many from large cities) each year. The schools reflected the values of the community — an educated populace with high aspirations for its

children. As was typical, roughly 75 percent of my class attended college. As the town’s demographics shifted toward those of a resort town that introduced an influx of new students each year, Aspen’s schools also experienced the departure of families who had anchored the community. Building the new high school outside of town marked another change: the separation of the schools from the community. Previously, students had eaten lunch at Carl’s, gathered in community locations, and walked through town to school. The high school’s football games were played in Wagner Park and many businesses closed so their owners and employees could attend. With the relocation of the school, knowledge of the daily doings of Aspen’s youth faded from the town. By the mid 1960s, Aspen’s schools bore no resemblance to those of the 1950s. Looking back it is easier to comprehend the overall impact of the transition from a small town to a resort town than it was to recognize (let alone anticipate) the change in real time. If you didn’t grow up in a small town or a resort community you might not appreciate the difference: numbers alone do not tell a school’s story. 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.

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE ASPEN HISTORICAL SOCIETY

On Jan. 10, 1899, the Aspen Tribune gave an update on the erection of the Soldiers’ Monument at the Pitkin County Courthouse, noting that “after several weeks of investigation the committee of the G.A.R. in charge of the soldiers’ monument enterprise has awarded the contract for the erection of the handsome memorial to B.F. Porter of Denver. The money having all been raised in Aspen it is well and creditable that the completion of the work should, as far as possible, be left in the hands of Aspen people. The monument will be fifteen feet in height from the base to the top of the life-size figure of a soldier which surmounts it. One side of the die will bear the inscription: ‘To the soldiers of 1861-1865 this monument is erected by their comrades and the patriotic men and women of Aspen.’ It is the intention to dedicate the memorial with fitting and impressive ceremonies upon Memorial Day.”

WINEINK

WORDS to DRINK BY

HERE’S TO ... THOSE WHO MAKE THE WINE WE LOVE IT WAS TIME for another column. The synapses were working a little slowly so I decided to pour a glass of wine, slow down a bit and gaze out the window. Playing on the radio was a tune from a time past by the Rolling Stones. “Let’s drink to the hard-working people…let’s drink to the salt of the earth” a young Mick Jagger sings on the final cut from 1968’s “Beggars Banquet” album. As I sang along with the chorus, it got me thinking about all of the hard-working people KELLY J. who were somehow HAYES involved in getting the liquid that I was drinking into my glass. How many people have a hand in some way, shape or form in turning dirt into wine? Start from the beginning. Before a vineyard becomes a vineyard, there is a financial transaction that takes place. Bankers, brokers, lenders and the like are all a part of the process before the first shovel is turned. Once an owner takes title, architects, land planners, horticulturists and winemakers come up with designs and drawings and dreams. Where should the winery go? What grapes should get planted and where? Next come the hard-working people, many of whom are the immigrants who are getting so much attention in the immigration debate. In this country, they come mostly from Mexico, some legally, some not so. They do the back-breaking work of clearing the brush from the steep hillsides, or tilling the valley floors so that the grapes can be planted. They are the heart and soul of nearly every bottle of wine that is made. The vines are planted, but only after they have been purchased and there are middlemen for everything. The planting of the grapes is another area where the laborers’ efforts are vital. All the while, the steel tanks and the aging barrels are bought and brought into the winery that has taken shape in the image of the architects’ drawings. Someone bent, welded and riveted the steel for those stainless tanks; someone grew the trees that were harvested and sent to the cooperage to be turned

12

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

F

into vessels for aging the wine. And someone had to drive all that stuff to the winery. Then there are the winemakers. If a bottle of wine was a Hollywood film, the winemaker would be the director. He must pick the right grapes for the site, ensure that they have been grown properly, pick the perfect time for harvesting, blend them just so, and oversee the final edit — the aging. He is responsible for his cast of characters — the grapes — and he also is responsible for hiring and overseeing all of the craftspeople necessary to make the wine drinkable. And don’t think for a minute that the devil is not in each and every detail. Once the wine is made, there are bottles to be bought, labels to be affixed and corks to be put in place. The labels are the product of designers who labor for ways to visually define the wine and make it attractive for buyers. The cork is harvested from trees, much of them found on generations-old farms in Portugal. Then the wine has to be sold. A network of distributors and representatives work with your wine shop and restaurant sommeliers to sell the wine and get it either on the shelves or in the wine list so you can make a decision amongst which of the hundreds of wines offered you wish to buy. The bottle I have just opened is an Oregon Pinot Noir. It sold for about $20 and from the first swirl in the glass it brought me sensory pleasure worth much more than that. It is amazing to think so many people put so much effort to get me a product that I will pay less than $20 for and that will soon be discarded as an empty bottle. Mick and Keith did not have the makers of wine in mind when they penned “Salt of the Earth,” but it is certainly apropos. “Let’s drink to the hard-working people. Spare a thought for his backbreaking work. Say a prayer for his wife and his children, who burn the fires and who still till the earth.” Everybody now. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soonto-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and a black Lab named Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.

PRICE POINT WHAT ARE THE COSTS INVOLVED IN MAKING A BOTTLE OF WINE? 7% - Cost of growing the grapes 9% - Cost of wine production 4% - Packaging: bottles, corks, boxes, labels 2% - Marketing: obviously a variable 13% - Sales, distribution 3% - Administrative costs 2% - Interest 4% - Taxes 5% - Winery profit 20% -Wholesaler markup (outside distributor) 31% - Wine shop markup

From planting the vines to harvesting the grapes (opposite page) and from creating the perfect blend to marketing the final product, the art of winemaking involves a team of people — and a lot of hard work.

12 FLAVORS A WEEK MAUKA FROZEN YOGURT IS A DIY DREAMSCAPE

RECENTLY I RECEIVED two bonbons of intel about the new Mauka Frozen Yogurt in Willits Town Center that were too tempting to ignore. First, that the shop was planning to set up a fro-yo Slip ’n Slide at a belated grand opening celebration. Oh, yeah. And second, that Breckie Hunt, owner with her husband, Matt, has noticed a whole lotta dudes dashing in AMANDA to nosh on the sweet RAE treat — solo. Sadly, the fro-yo Slip ’n Slide turned out to be nothing more than saccharine rumor. Hunt considered it for a split-second, and agrees that it would have been epic, but also expensive, wasteful and a liability that the new business owners didn’t need. There may be some truth to the second scoop. In my highly unscientific research at Mauka on a few gray afternoons and evenings, I did encounter a lot of friendly fellas. But really, the place is a magnet for anyone with a sweet tooth, and buddies, coworkers, teammates, parents, grandparents and kids have flocked here since the shop opened on July 15. The couple vowed that they wouldn’t manage a chain. Instead, they found a gem in Boulder: Yoki Bliss, which churns and distributes small-batch yogurt made from hormone-free dairy sourced in Colorado, without preservatives or fillers. (Yoki Bliss also supplies Red Fox Frozen Yogurt next to Aspen’s Dancing Fountain, but that seasonal pop-up moves into storage until spring at the end of this month.) Some 50 flavors rotate through Mauka’s 12 daily soft-serve offerings, including seasonal delights like Palisade Peach and Blood Orange. There’s always at least one dairyfree option, which might be made with nut milk or a sorbetto-style Mango, and another without added sugar, such as Tropical Medley.

Minimalists might enjoy Country Vanilla, Vanilla Malt, USDA Organic Vanilla or the dairy-free Almond Vanilla. Super-purists tend toward the plain Tart variety. Much of this yogurt is naturally gluten-free, and customers will always find extensive ingredient, allergen and nutrition info listed on each machine. “A lot of places use powder mixes, gels, flavor concentrates,” Breckie Hunt says. “I’m not afraid to let people know what they’re eating.” Mauka’s soft-serve is surely healthier than traditional ice cream (see “Do The Twist,” opposite page) or even some chain-produced frozen yogurt, but from there the Choose Your Own Adventure, weigh-and-pay experience continues. Customers can pile on toppings from a kaleidoscopic buffet of 44-plus items that includes a hearty selection of freshly sliced — never frozen — fruit, two types of organic granola, whole roasted nuts and Ghirardelli dark chocolate sauce. There are guiltier fancies, like gummy bears, cookies, brownies and chopped candy bars, as well as mochi cubes, lychee fruit and glossy tapioca boba pearls. Giant waffle cones big enough to hold a creation with toppings just arrived, too. One look spikes my blood sugar, every time. The space, designed with 159 Design, eschews any semblance of a pink, plastic, dessert parlor in favor of reclaimed wood, seagreen glass, frosted-resin flower lamps and hazy beach photographs shot by Breckie when the couple lived in Hawaii. The place has a cool, mellow vibe — little wonder that Mauka means “toward the mountains” in Hawaiian; last summer the couple moved here after a three-year stint on Oahu. “I did landscape design and horticulture, so this is totally random,” Breckie says with a laugh.

project, and the couple has an 8-month-old son.) As it turns out, Mauka is a DIY dessert bar with an extra sprinkle of creativity. An orange-sherbet colored wall displays artwork by guest contributors — this month, landscape-inspired paintings and mixed-media works on paper by Snowmass artist Carrie Trippe — and a flatscreen monitor shows nature scenes from the Hunts’ favorite exotic locales. “I think it would be cool to play ski or bike videos by people

here in the valley,” Breckie says. She envisions Mauka as a homey meeting spot and local art gallery. “I want people to have a part of the shop. We want to be a community space — more than just frozen yogurt.” The Hunts will switch it up as cool weather hits; starting in October, Mauka will open earlier in the morning and add an onthe-go power-breakfast bar with fresh waffles and oatmeal. I repeat: waffles! Special events, like game night and film screenings, are also planned. First up: Hunt has hatched a plan to find those single frozen-yogurt fans someone to share it with; Mauka will host the first-ever fro-yo speed dating in the valley on Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. Amanda Rae wonders why more people don’t call it zengurt.

DO THE TWIST Diehard scoopsters will cry out, “It’s not the same!” and that’s true. Frozen yogurt will always sit in ice cream’s cold shadow. But Mauka’s frozen yogurt, made by Boulder-based Yoki Bliss, is pretty righteous. All varieties are non- or low-fat, low-calorie, all-natural, and a source of protein, calcium and essential vitamins and minerals. Some contain fresh fruit but none have any fake or GMO ingredients. The fro-yo is made with dairy from Colorado cows that have never been treated with synthetic growth hormones, plus five active cultures with a list of supposed health benefits. “It’s tricky with probiotics in terms of making bold medical/health claims, despite the overwhelming evidence to support them,” says Yoki Bliss owner Sloan Anderson. Controlled medical studies have not proven — rather, they merely suggest — that each strain provides specific benefits, many of which may be long-term and are hard to pinpoint. Still, docs agree that cultures in yogurt boost digestive health and strengthen bones, skin and the immune system, and it’s easier to digest than other dairy products thanks to reduced lactose content. Anderson uses only honest ingredients: “real fruit purees, nut butters, cocoas, coffees, teas, spices, pure extracts, and natural dyes, like beet juice and beta carotene — which is pure vitamin A.” It might sound too good to be true at 55 cents an ounce, but Yoki Bliss seduces palates, too. Strawberry and cheesecake twist is a current favorite, but those flavors could evaporate from the 12-flavor rotation any day now. Fall is here, which means Mauka will soon be DIY-dishing out Pumpkin Spice, Caramel Apple, Egg Nog, Candy Cane and Gingerbread. Get some.

FROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

BLUE SAGE Offseason is often the perfect time to do a tour about Aspen/Snowmass, sampling seasonal cocktails with a mostly local crowd. Not sure where to do this? Try the Vue Lobby Lounge at the Westin Snowmass, where the drink of the moment — Blue Sage — will get you in the fall frame of mind. Crafted with gin and muddled a mix of blueberries and sage-infused simple syrup, it’s a warmer — more autumn-like — version of summer’s fruity cocktail. Sipped in the modern Vue, with its sweeping views of the surrounding slopes and golden aspen leaves, Blue Sage is sure to make the offseason something worth savoring. Gunilla Asher is taking a break from the bar scene, so we’re turning this page over to you. Email jmcgovern@aspentimes.

NEED TO KNOW 3 ¼ ounces sage-infused simple syrup 2 ounces Tanqueray gin 10 blueberries 1 small sage leaf Muddle blueberries with sage leaf, add simple syrup and gin. Fill with ice and shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with blueberries on skewer and fried sage leaf.

‘I FEEL RESURRECTED FROM IT ALL’ COMBAT VETS IN THE WILDERNESS by PAUL ANDERSEN

“You guys saved my life.” These five words spilled out of an Iraq combat veteran, a 6-foot-2 Marine named Dan. His voice shook with emotion and tears flooded his eyes as he described his experience from a wilderness solo.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS Editor’s note: The following are unsolicited entries in the Margy’s Hut log book from June 30 and September 8, 2013 CLIFFORD CAMPBELL (ARMY, AFGHANISTAN) “Experienced great time with fellow vets. Learned that life is about living the moment. Being outdoors has broken me into pieces by realizing pain. Thoughts that were buried I brought to the surface. On the walks these thoughts consumed my every breath. I am not a horrible person. Only to get better.” MICHAEL LEMKE (ARMY, KUWAIT) “I keep on finding out that you just have to grow through what you go through to get where you’re going. I aint all well, but I’m better than I was before I came here. Peace to brothers!” THOMAS PRATER (ARMY, IRAQ) “This was an amazing experience. The connection I possessed with this band of brothers, military or not, is sure to have a positive impact on myself and those in my presence. I have found the tools I need to make it happen. Now, all that is left is Action!” ROY WILLIAMS (ARMY, KUWAIT) “Not only have I been allowed to see some of God’s most beautiful landscapes, but I have also been able to connect with fellow vets with similar situations and reflect on where I am now and where I want to be.” DANIEL COLEMAN (MARINE CORPS, IRAQ) “This was my first time in the wilds and it was with the best group of veterans I’ve ever been with. Huts For Vets and my fellow warriors saved my life over the last four days together. Finding healing from all the things we’ve experienced could not have happened in a better place.”

ABOVE: A veteran from Texas balances across a log bridge on the wilderness trail to Margy’s Hut. INSET: Adam McCabe (center) leads a discussion on the deck of Margy’s Hut, offering tools for veterans reentering civilian life.

The setting was Sawmill Park, a grassy meadow in the Hunter-Frying Pan Wilderness surrounded by an evergreen forest and a stunning view of the Elk Range. We had stopped for solo reflections, each man wandering into the woods for solitude and shelter as light rain pattered against our jackets. Dan emerged from the forest halfway through the solos and stood in the middle of the meadow, his gaze on the distant peaks. “When I was on the solo,” he said later, “I was more scared than I have ever been in my life. In the middle of that meadow I suddenly felt safe because you men were all around me. I felt protected and no longer alone.” Facing inner demons leaves many vets quaking with unease. Dan’s experience was his own, but it is not uncommon. Another vet in the program, an Army sergeant named Chris, described his challenges in his application form: PHOTOS BY PAUL ANDERSEN

“Since my return from deployment almost seven years ago I was searching and grasping for something that made me feel human again. My savior has been the opportunity to work in the outdoors and wilderness areas that we are blessed with. My mind slowly begins to slow down and my anxiousness and anger tends to subside when I am at one with nature. I look forward to this opportunity, not only for myself, but to share it with others who are in the same boat.”

Feeling Whole Again

There are tens of thousands of vets in that boat, men and women who are lost in their reentry to civilian life, adrift without their military mission, alone without their comrades-at-arms. Another applicant put it like this: “I want to be able to find coping mechanisms and enjoyment in things I used to do. I want to be around people going through some of the same issues I am.” “I’m looking for a sense of calm and peace,” wrote another vet. “I am very tired of being easily startled — as if mortars or an IED are going to go off at any moment.” “I would love to be able to be whole again,” shared another, “doing things I used to do without feeling the fear and anger that is crippling me.” With these needs in mind, Huts For Vets was founded in Aspen in January 2013. The idea is to

JUSTIN JACKSON (ARMY, AFGHANISTAN) “Wow! Words cannot express the impact this experience has had on my heart and soul! Wilderness therapy for combat vets is an incredible and innovative concept. What a journey! I have come further with braving my post-traumatic experiences in the last three days than I have in two years dealing with the VA. I pray that my fellow brothers and sisters in arms find their way to experience the enlightenment that Huts For Vets has provided. God bless!” ERIC DICKSON (ARMY, IRAQ) “This trip was far more amazing than I ever could have imagined. The mountains were absolutely amazing and serene, and make you not want to go home. I highly recommend this trip to any veteran who has returned home physically, but is still trying to find their way back mentally.” CHRIS BARKER (ARMY, IRAQ) “Being in this wilderness has helped me understand the value, quality and significance of these wild places. The men here have taught me that I must improve myself in order to enjoy the freedoms that we all fought for. The talk, the laughter, music and general BS were truly a gift and proved that camaraderie and brotherhood cross the lines of military branch, unit, and years. Thanks for everything!”

ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE by JEANNE MCGOVERN

Dylan Braun, director of the Challenge Aspen Military Opportunities (C.A.M.O.) program, knows well the challenges the veterans participating in Huts For Vets face — C.A.M.O. has welcomed injured service members, veterans and their families for a week of outdoor recreation, wellness, relaxation and camaraderie since 2008. “My goal is to have them come here and learn new things, learn about themselves,” Braun says. “It is amazing to see these men and women become more confident in themselves through recreation and wellness.” In reality, many of the veterans who participate in C.A.M.O. programs — which are designed to accommodate a broad range of physical and cognitive injuries — are not just learning new things. The vets are learning a “new normal.” “What we hear over and over is that they are defining their new normal,” Braun says. “What used to be part of their daily lives is different now.” Braun shares the story of a recent C.A.M.O. program centered on fly-fishing: “Imagine wading the river for the first time with a prosthetic leg; or tying flies after a traumatic brain injury.” There are also programs designed for specific groups, such as women.

“I must say it exceeded my expectations. .... Please continue giving hope and opportunities so other women can be empowered and rehabilitated through sports,” says participant Laura Ortiz. In winter, programs include activities such as skiing. Says participant Toby Montoya on the Challenge Aspen website: “It is programs such as these that allow combat wounded to excel and live again. I attribute my success and my renewed vigor to live a more fulfilling life to Challenge Aspen. I am a new man now and I am grateful to say the least.” Braun says she is grateful to be part of the program, too. “To see people — vets, the community — come together and learn from each other is amazing,” she says. “It is something everyone should be part of at some point in their life.” Unfortunately, programs like C.A.M.O. and Huts For Vets are few and far between. According to Challenge Aspen, there is currently no government funding for these types of programs. “Challenge Aspen is one of only a few organizations offering this type of recreational therapy,” say directors of the nonprofit, which offers an array of summer and winter programs for people with disabilities. “It is the goal of Challenge Aspen for C.A.M.O. to become the model program in the United States.”

Hiking the wilderness trail was as much about the journey as the destination. Here Dr. Gerald Alpern — the HFV “shrink” — a spry 81-year-old, leads the group.

take small groups of vets into the wilderness and offer a perspective shift by removing them from the tumult of life and providing a safe place where they may gain the courage to feel again. The program offers an antidote to angst and alienation, a soothing respite from the uncertainty of life. With two nights at Margy’s Hut, the 10th Mountain hut built by Robert McNamara, veterans share an intimate, communal experience and a rare expression of joy. These three-day programs begin with a 6.5-mile hike to the hut from the trailhead at Lenado, a portal of sorts to a world few of these vets have ever entered. Hiking through lush forests, snacking on wild berries, crossing logs over streams, these vets do what the philosopher Kierkegaard experienced: “I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.” As Doug Peacock wrote in his book, “Walking It Off,” “The best wisdom comes directly from the earth. It runs

right up our roots into the spirit. Walk on. The feet will inform the soul.” Jayson, an Iraq War medic, took this metaphor a step further when he passed his prosthetic foot around the dinner table at Margy’s Hut. An amputee from the right knee down as the result of an IED blast in Iraq, Jayson wanted to share the latest technology with his fellow vets. His synthetic foot became an amusing centerpiece and a sobering reminder of the seriousness of war and its lasting wounds — visible and invisible. That plastic foot also produced a kind of gallows humor among vets who employ jokes, chiding, self-deprecation and war stories to normalize their experiences. Gutter humor, dirty limericks and a fount of profanity is part of the lingo that builds camaraderie. Behind the humor is a sense of pathos and sympathy, the components of caring that these brothers openly exhibit. Time in the wilderness provided the ease necessary for belly laughs around the dinner table where tears came rolling down cheeks from a litany of

jokes, songs and jibes. Laughter is where healing starts and understanding begins.

‘The Best Therapist in the World’

From the big dinner table at Margy’s Hut, large windows reveal a dramatic view of the Williams Mountains. This table is a communal launch pad for shared experiences, a safe place to talk, a place of trust and nourishment, of laughter and song. Adam McCabe, a Marine from Carbondale who served in Iraq, brought the house down one night with a song of unity he wrote for veterans. Adam strummed the guitar and sang his heart out, and everyone joined in the final chorus. What followed was a din of cheers and table pounding that filled the hut with brotherhood bound by unbridled joy. Adam, who serves on the HFV staff and board, also presented Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) and other tools for mindfulness and self-control. He heads Purple Star Veterans and Families, an organization with national goals to provide these and similar

tools to vets, helping them to reenter society as productive members and effective leaders. The “shrink,” as 81-year-old HFV board member Dr. Gerald Alpern jokingly refers to himself, offered valued psychological insights during the program. “Picture the best therapist in the world,” he said, “one who knows you well, your background, your life, one who understands you as a person. That therapist is you. It is your higher voice. That’s where you have to go with your questions, issues and actions.” Other perspectives came from a notebook of readings issued to participants a month before the program and including Thoreau, Shakespeare, Viktor Frankl, Doug Peacock, Tom Brown, and a host of others. Collectively, these voices formed the basis for moderated discussions that opened unexpected insights. “When I got out of the service, I couldn’t have been dragged into reading poetry in the woods,” said one vet. “But I see what these people are saying, and that’s important to where I am today.”

Communion

DID YOU WASTE YOUR YOUTH ON ANGER, DID YOU STOP AT THE OPEN DOOR? DID YOU EMPTY YOUR GUN’S CHAMBER, NOT LEAVING YOURSELF ONE MORE? DID YOU LOSE YOUR SOUL IN THOSE DESERT SANDS, WONDERING HOW LONG YOU’D STAY? DID YOU FIND YOURSELF FINALLY HOME, SURPRISED AS HELL, THIS WAY? SHIFTING WINDS OF SWIRLING DUST, SANDSTORM MARKING TIME, GAPING HOLES OF LOGIC BUST, LAND FORMING THOUGHTS SUBLIME. WOULD YOU CROSS THE LINE I’VE DRAWN, WOULD YOU DIE ALONG WITH ME? OR WILL YOU WITH CONFUSED YOUNG FROWN, HIDE BUT NEVER SEEK? - MICHAEL LEMKE, HFV PARTICIPANT, SEPT. 2013

“I have built high walls around me,” said Justin, an Iraq vet, “and I don’t let many people in.” Hiking quietly on the trail, Justin wasn’t asked to open those walls. Listening to fellow vets divulge their inner truths, fears and reflections, however, he did so willingly. Trust and mutuality tear down mental walls built for self-preservation. Group breakthroughs came through impromptu missions like extracting Jayson’s SUV from a snow bank in June, with every man doing his part. Another came while splitting enormous rounds of firewood for the hut and stacking it against the coming of winter. Group chores brought bodies together in common labor and made sport of physical challenge. The lesson here is that if you want to get something done, assign a veteran to it, or a team of vets. The energy they harness is amazing to witness. “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers,” evoked Shakespeare in “Henry V,” and it was bands of brothers who parted with bear hugs at the end

of each program. “My new mantra,” reflected one vet several days later, “will be carried on, and my wife cried when I told her: ‘I’m going to better myself for you and this family, better myself so that I may enjoy the freedoms of life, and better myself so that I may help other Vets.’ Don’t let everyday life get you down. Carry that torch of healing proudly and share it with those who are willing to listen. We will get through this, not alone, but together. Ultimately, that is what defines our Brotherhood.” Concluded Dr. Alpern: “I came to Huts For Vets expecting to be available for wounded souls. I didn’t expect to learn how talented, dedicated, and just plain great vets are. Yeah, they suffer problems, but their courage and motivation to continue giving to others has been a revelation. Reach out. Get to know a vet and you’ll find a quality person who has more to offer than you could ever imagine.” Paul Andersen is an Aspen Times’ columnist and the founder and executive director of Huts For Vets.

STRANGERS, STRANGELY FAMILIAR WRITER ADAM HASLETT IN RESIDENCE THE CHARACTERS IN Adam Haslett’s books are disconnected, often hopelessly so, and sometimes to desperate extremes, from their families, their communities, their sexuality, their own histories. When they do try to connect, they efforts tend to be awkward and only moderately successful. In the short story “The Beginnings of Grief,”

troubled terrain, but expanded the thematic landscape to touch on war and Wall Street. Haslett will appear for a reading on Monday, Sept. 23 at the Woody Creek Community Center. It appears unlikely that he will read from his work in progress, a novel titled “Kindness.” In our interview, all Haslett would say of the book is that it is “about a family … contemporary … told from five different points of view,” and that he is in the stretch run of writing the book, which he has been working on for three years. Haslett declined A reading by Adam Haslett to answer several questions, Monday, Sept. 23 at 6 p.m. not, seemingly, out of being Woody Creek Community Center difficult or even particularly alienated himself, but out of a desire to protect the writer’s sacred space. Since the beginning of September, Haslett has been in residence with the Aspen Writers’ Foundation. The recently reinvigorated residency program places writers, one each month, on a secluded property tucked away in a picturesque canyon in Woody Creek. There is no phone service or Internet access and the 42-year-old Haslett, a Massachusetts native who lives in Brooklyn, cherishes the isolation. “I can’t see another building. I’m surrounded by valleys and hillsides,” he said by phone from Woody Creek. (Haslett preferred to speak by phone than in person.) “There’s an ability to slip right into that. The space of solitude means that this writing world I’ve gotten in doesn’t get interrupted at all. The line between your work and your world remains porous. In the city, that gets broken up and hardened. I’ve Writer Adam Haslett appears for a reading on Monday, Sept. 23 at the Woody Creek Community Center. done a number of artist residencies with a number of other artists, and story collection is called “You Are an outcast high school boy makes that has its benefits. But at this stage, Not a Stranger Here,” and while the advances on a classmate and ends the solitude has been very welcome.” characters are indeed foreigners in up in a physically abusive situation. Haslett wrote his first short stories their worlds, the “you” of the title is In another story, “Notes to My at Swarthmore, a tiny college outside directed at the reader, who is likely Biographer,” an older man tries to Philadelphia where he studied to find a resonance in the episodes of rekindle a relationship with his son; literature and philosophy.

It resides in the reader’s engagement. It’s a happy ending if the reader is engaged. That’s a goal.” Thus, the title of Haslett’s first book makes much sense. The 2002

Haslett spent several years working for nonprofit organizations, then made his way into the top tier of programs for aspiring writers — a year at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, at the tip of Massachusetts’ Cape Cod; a stretch at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. He graduated from Yale Law School, but never practiced law, preferring to focus on writing — his works of fiction; political commentary, often for European newspapers; and a piece on gay marriage for the New Yorker. Haslett notes that he is hardly alone in writing about people in extreme states of agitation and loneliness. “Lots of fiction writers do that,” he said. But he also believes that much of the reason he has attracted an audience is that he has explored “situations that are not frequently represented. The texture of people’s lives in extreme states — mental pain, sexuality — are some things that are less frequently mapped.” Haslett doesn’t believe that downbeat emotions are inevitable in his writing. “My goal is always to be inside people’s experience. And that’s open-ended,” he said. He noted that Nate, a central character in “Union Atlantic,” a teenager in a harsh relationship with an older man, seems to be finding some sense of equanimity, no matter how delicate and foreign, in the final pages of the novel. This is what passes for a happy ending in Haslett’s writing. “There’s a signpost of something better for him,” Haslett said. “I tend more toward the tragic than the comic. ‘King Lear’ is my favorite play,” he said. “There’s a strain of American culture that forces a certain optimism on us. But the tragic is an ancient strain. It’s present in all of our lives. I don’t apologize for it. I understand it as a strain.” There came then a discussion — a short one — on whether there were elements of comedy, or at least levity, in Haslett’s work. I noted the two dogs, Sam and Wilkie, who belong to the aged, disturbed Charlotte Graves in “Union Atlantic.” Yes, the dogs spoke in dire tones, echoing Revelations and Malcolm X. But hey, talking dogs — that’s got an element of comedy. Then Haslett chipped in, offering what he saw as evidence of a lighter element in his writing. “Kids on drugs,” he said.

BOOK REVIEW

‘UNION ATLANTIC’ ONE OF AMERICA’S great young authors, Adam Haslett dives straight into our nation’s financial with no remorse — with real world examples of what happened and with powerful characters to tell the story. “Union Atlantic” takes place in the 2002. The novel’s protagonist, Doug Fanning, is a stereotypical banker with no regard for others; he is just worried about making the next buck. In the first chapter, Fanning buys a swath of land, clears the woods and builds his own McMansion. After moving in, Fanning notices a small cabinstyle house that looks as if it hasn’t been inhabited in years. To his surprise, a retired schoolteacher by the name of Charlotte Graves lives there with her two dogs. Fanning

another, creating a snowball effect. The way that Haslett truly brings “Union Atlantic” alive, thouhg, is through its characters — they perfectly mold the difference between Main Street and Wall Street. There is not one person who reads “Union Atlantic” that can’t see glimmers of themselves in one of the characters. This story hits home, from the characters to the events, which at times seem more nonfiction than fiction.
