Tigger
This tiny little fella only weighs 9 pounds. Tigger is a darling little brindle Chihuahua whose guardian passed away, leaving him in need of a new person or family to love him. He is 6 years old (DOB 6-21-08) and just as sweet and cute as can be. Tigger is a real cuddler and loves to be with his human. He has great energy and loves to go on walks and can even hike if you keep him close (he is SO tiny). He does great with other dogs. Tigger is already neutered, current on all his vaccinations and micro chipped. If you would like to give him a lifetime of love, please fill out an adoption application on www.luckydayrescue.org or call Sarah on 303-241-6753 LUCKY DAY ANIMAL RESCUE OF COLORADO

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
with ANDREW TRAVERS
ART THE DAYS ARE NUMBERED for “David Hammons Yves Klein / Yves Klein David Hammons” at the Aspen Art Museum, which closes at the end of the month. It was the lead show among the new museum’s inaugural exhibitions, and it is a monumental achievement. Filling two gallery spaces on the museum’s ground floor, it serves as a curated conversation between these two masters. Aspen Art Museum CEO Heidi Zuckerman has said she spent 15 years working with Hammons and with Klein’s estate to put the exhibition together. “I’ve wanted to do this show my entire career,” she told The Aspen Times this summer. “It’s basically an undoable show.” And while a casual observer can pick up some of the aesthetic parallels between Hammons’ Kool-Aid Drawings and Klein’s Fire Paintings, or the artists’ thematic concerns, like race, religion and art itself, the show begs for an expert opinion. Enter Philippe Vergne, director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Vergne will visit the museum for a free guest lecture about the joint show on Thursday, Nov. 6 at 6 p.m. Whether you’ve already visited the show and are curious about its meaning, or you haven’t and you want an introduction, Vergne’s talk promises to be a fascinating supplement to a fascinating show.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
with JOHN COLSON
For answers, don’t bother with standardized tests AS I WRITE THIS, the nation is poised for its biennial electoral waltz, although, thanks to early voting and mail-in ballots, Election Day is more like a junior prom where half the class has decided to take in a movie instead. Aside from the theater of the absurd that we call our electoral system, let’s take a look at some other absurdities making the rounds here in the good ol’ U.S. of A. For instance, I see that the Aspen School District seems to be edging toward rejection of the standardized testing protocols that burst onto the educational landscape with George W. Bush’s deviously misnamed “No Child Left Behind” law. It’s about time. I’ve been highly suspicious of this whole standardized testing thing since it first came to light. I see standardized testing as nothing more than an effort to prevent teachers from doing their job, which mainly is to impart to students an ability to think independently and creatively using a hard core of academic material as a basis for living their lives, voting and meeting other needs. Corporate and industrial managers, of course, consider creative intelligence to be anathema to their own interests, since independent thinkers rarely make good corporate soldiers or industrial, robotic workers. Once upon a time, when this country was a powerhouse of industrial might with factories cranking out a dizzying array of products, kids could be easily lured away from the halls of academia with promises of relatively high-paying industrial jobs that did not require a university degree. These days, unhappily for the industrial giants, there aren’t that many of those jobs available. Instead, young men and women are too often faced with a choice between working at the counter of a fast-food joint, in the warehouse of a manufacturer that is based overseas, in a cubicle at some house of finance, or at a software company, among other, even less attractive offers. It was hardly a surprise, then, when Bush did his job as shill for the shadowy corporate and industrial cabal that engineered his family’s rise to power, and came up with a brand of testing that did nothing to boost student intelligence or creativity, but was designed to reduce education at the public schools to something resembling an assembly line
at a factory. Educators rebelled at once, were put down for a time by intimidation and rough treatment, but continue to detest standardized testing for what it really is and to try to get rid of it. Good luck to us all on that count. I guess we can be thankful that our educational system is not as badly off as schools in Russia, where President Vlad “The Thug” Putin has managed to shred the nation’s struggling textbook industry and put the business of producing textbooks in the hands of a man whose company, called Enlightenment, once had the same basic role in the old Soviet Union. That means kids in Russian schools will have the unleavened pleasure of getting their history and other subjects from books that pass the state’s “patriotism” test but bear little resemblance to the education kids get elsewhere in the world. Unfortunately, we are too often reminded of the paucity of our own educational system. For example, I recently got an email from a buddy whose innate skepticism and pessimism nearly match mine, containing images that show without a doubt that some of those who came up through our schools ought not to have bothered. From shipping containers clearly labeled “This Side Up” but sitting upside down, to “Stop” painted on the street surface of an intersection but spelled, “SOTP,” to a toilet on which the seat with the hole in it is installed on top of the solid seat, to stairwell handrails that go up when the stairs they were meant to serve are headed down, the images are a chilling testimonial to our vacant minds at work. All of which leads to many troubling questions about our future as a nation, not the least of which is, “How in hell do we think we can ever elect leaders to deal with our complicated problems, when we can’t even install a handrail that actually helps us make it down a stairwell?” For the answer to that and other, similarly vexing questions, DO NOT turn to any page of the current Colorado Measures of Academic Success standardized test, unless you want to be severely disappointed.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES
FROM the VAULT
by TIM WILLOUGHBY
Boomers bested their elders in the number who learned to swim because of Aspen’s James Moore public pool.
THE OLD SWIMMING HOLE My family moved to California, where my mother’s sisters
lived, during the early 1960s. The sisters joined us for a trip to the beach. As they strolled the sand, a larger than average wave caught the women off-guard. My mother fell down and the two sisters grabbed her arms. In recounting the event later, each woman said the wave was pulling her sisters out to sea and that she saved the other two. All three relived the fear that none of them could swim, although the rest of the family had watched the event and knew none of them had been in real danger. It was not unusual for Aspen girls and boys of their generation to grow up without knowing how to swim. The three sisters, all over 50 years old, signed up for lessons and soon rectified their reticence in the presence of water. Growing up in Aspen is not like childhood at lower elevations and southern latitudes; remembrances of “the old swimming hole” do not exist. There is no shortage of rivers or lakes; what Aspen lacks is warm — even barely warm — water. Maroon Lake may attract visitors from all over the world, but you don’t see any of them swimming there. One summer my aunt and

uncle camped at the bottom of the Montezuma road. I saw bears for my first time, a rare sight in those days, while visiting them. A short hike along the Montezuma road from their camp ended at Kellog Lake.
the water. It hurt, and I learned a quick lesson: ponds do not qualify as swimming holes at above 9,500 feet. If Aspen residents entered water at all, they did so in the Stillwater area of Roaring Fork, Hallam Lake,
ONE HOT DAY MY SISTER, HER FRIENDS AND I DECIDED TO SWIM IN KELLOG LAKE. THE GIRLS JUMPED IN AND LASTED ABOUT THREE MINUTES. YOUNGER AND MORE CAUTIOUS, I DIPPED MY TOES INTO THE WATER. IT HURT, AND I LEARNED A QUICK LESSON: ABOVE 9,500 FEET: PONDS DO NOT QUALIFY AS SWIMMING HOLES. A stream of snowmelt fed the pond, which was not much bigger than a swimming pool. One hot day my sister, her friends and I decided to swim in Kellog Lake. The girls jumped in and lasted about three minutes. Younger and more cautious, I dipped my toes into
No v e m b e r 6 - No v e m b e r 12 , 20 14
or a pool that had been lined with logs to form a swimming hole at the Newman Mine, now the Aspen Music School’s Castle Creek campus. After a week of hot August weather, sometimes these bodies of water warmed enough to invite a quick dip. During my childhood, Aspen
built public swimming pools and my generation learned to swim. Fortunate natives of previous generations swam and learned to swim in the Glenwood pool. My father used to drive me there, just as his father took him, and it always felt wonderful, the water warming me all over. The original pool built in the 1880s held even more water. To swim across the 640-foot length, or to paddle across the width that varied from 50 to 110 feet, may not sound difficult until you figure in the elevation. Even so, the hotsprings-heated water compensated comfortably for altitude. I don’t know which might have been more exciting for a small boy in 19th-century Aspen: riding the train to Glenwood, or soaking in the pool. The railroads frequently offered the special excursion rates required to attract working families to take a fling. I think Glenwood’s version of the old swimming hole would have rivaled any pond that cousins from the lowlands may have bragged about.
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.

1982 SNOWM A SS
ON JULY 1, 1982, a headline in The Aspen Times announced “S’mass theater signs John Travolta.” As the article reported, “Actor John Travolta has been signed to star in a two-character comedy, Mass Appeal, the Snowmass Festival of American Theater’s second production opening July 19, the American Theater Company announced this week. The second part has not yet been cast, but American Theater Company’s Tom Ward said contracts should be firmed up this week as rehearsal for the comedy begins Monday. The American Theater Company produces the Snowmass Festival, the Aspen Playwrights Conference, drama classes for children and adults and also brings in touring theatrical events.” The second part in the production was played by Charles Durving; the photo above shows Travolta and Durving. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

IT CAN CHARGE YOUR PHONE. It can light up a dark campsite at night. In another mode, the Switch 10 will work as a tiny personal fan for hot days. Goal Zero calls its new device a “multi-tool.” The small cylindrical unit at its core is simply a battery pack. But the company sends snap-on “tips” with a Switch 10 purchase, including a light and a fan. I tested this new kind of multi-tool last month and was happy with the product’s ease of use. From backcountry hikes to airports where I couldn’t find a wall outlet, the USB-compatible
unit offered a no-fuss method to restore power to my phone. The flashlight head, which clicks into place on the end, offers 160 lumens of glow — enough LED light to see 100 feet down a dark path. Its fan function is the most unexpected piece. Snap on the mini “air conditioning” tip and you get green rubber blades twirling and moving air for relief on a hot day. (I did not find many scenarios this fall where the fan was needed, but I could see the appeal on hot summer trips or in a warm tent at night.) Goal Zero ships a solar panel
in the Switch 10 package. It gives 7 watts of power from two foldout panels. In optimal sun you can use the panels to recharge the Switch in about four hours, Goal Zero cites. I tested that claim on a crisp but sunny October morning; the panel sucked in the solar rays and fully charged up the unit before noon. The solar panel also has plugins on the back for multiple input types, letting you use it directly on devices including cameras and GPS units. Easier than solar, you can simply plug the Switch into
a wall outlet at home before heading on a trip. Indicator LEDs on the side of the Switch give you a power read-out and a quick visual check on how much juice is left for future charging. In my test, it gave about one full charge to a dead iPhone. It can charge a camera like a GoPro about twice. Goal Zero sells the Switch 10 kit for $119. It’s a nice power solution with extras you might need in the field. Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

WINEINK
DUCKHORN FLIES NORTH I HARBOR AN EVERGROWING AFFECTION for the wines of the Great Northwest, especially those from the emerging wine regions of eastern Washington. Of course where love lives, money surely follows. And in the last few years, financial charts showing investment in Washington vineyards have indicated a KELLY J. HAYES hockey stick-like uptick. Investors (large and small) have noted that the price of land — even in those regions with the greatest potential for producing significant wines — can sell for a pittance of what similar dirt would cost in Napa, Sonoma or the Central Coast of California. One such investment was made this past winter by the Duckhorn Wine Company of Napa Valley, which purchased 20 unplanted acres high atop the Red Mountain AVA. The AVA is considered by those in the know to be perhaps the hottest wine region — both climatologically and also in terms of desirability — in the state, if not the nation. Duckhorn’s move into an area that only saw its first vines planted in the early 1970s followed that of Chateau Ste. Michelle, the big dog of Washington wine, who partnered with the Antinori Family of Tuscany to create Col Solare in 2007. And, in fall of last year, a Canadian holding company, the Aquilini Investment Group, which counts the Vancouver Canucks NHL club amongst its various assets, acquired 670 acres of undeveloped land in Red Mountain with the intent of making a stand in the wine business. This past September, Duckhorn released their first offering from their new project, which, in keeping with their flock of wines that all carry the names of ducks, has been dubbed Canvasback. While I would like to say my first sip of Canvasback took place in the vineyards of Red Mountain, it actually took place in a meeting room in Napa Valley at the Duckhorn Winery. There I was

hosted by Duckhorn executives Zach Rasmussen and Carol Reber, who could barely contain their enthusiasm, both for the migration northward and for Red Mountain itself. As we tasted the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot blend made from fruit sourced from a quartet of Red Mountain vineyards surrounding the Duckhorn property, they outlined the company’s initial steps and long-term plans for the project. Working closely with legendary Washington vine man Dick Boushey, they meticulously sought just the right site for their vision. They then hired Brian Rudin, a young Washington winemaker with a passion for Red Mountain. The team is indicative of the local focus that Duckhorn invests in all of their winemaking projects. This past spring the vineyard, dubbed Longwinds, was planted to Cabernet and Merlot. The true beauty of Red Mountain lies in its terroir. A unique combination of soils and climate make it a particularly perfect place to plant and grow tannic, wellstructured Cabernet Sauvignon. The sandy soils that host the vines are the remains of the great Missoula Flood, which covered the region some 10,000 years ago. The southwest aspect of the slopes Duckhorn planted takes advantage of the long growing days of the northern climes, and the height of the hills places the grapes just feet above the frost lines. Less than 6 inches of rain falls each year in the desert climate of Red Mountain and while the name sounds romantic, the surrounding terrain is more brown than “Red.” The region’s tallest “Mountain,” just above the Duckhorn property, tops out at a modest 1,500 feet. There have been outstanding wines produced in Red Mountain by the wineries that inhabit the AVA. Hedges Family Estates, Fidelitas and Kiona are the area’s pioneers. But the region’s renown largely came from wineries outside the area that used the fruit of Red Mountain’s best vineyards, like Klipsun and Ciel du Cheval, in their wines. Noted Washington
No v e m b e r 6 - No v e m b e r 12 , 20 14
wineries such as Andrew Will, L’Ecole No. 41, and DeLille Cellars all celebrated the grapes of the region in their wines, and Quilceda Creek Vintners famously produced a 100-point wine using Cabernet sourced from three different Red Mountain Vineyards. But of all the projects and growth that are shaping the region, I think the introduction of Duckhorn to the AVA may well prove to be the most significant. Founded in 1976 in the Napa Valley by Dan Duckhorn, who famously grew great Merlot in Cab country, the winery has expanded to include the production of wines from other
regions of Northern California, most notably from the Anderson Valley with Golden Eye, a Pinot Noir project. Duckhorn has always shown a propensity for not only playing well with others, but for making positive contributions to the winemaking communities in which they land. It will be fun, and tasty, to watch Duckhorn fly North. 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 2012 CANVASBACK RED MOUNTAIN WASHINGTON STATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON So the thing to note about this wine is that it is a first release from grapes purchased from other vineyards. It is a starting point for a new project that does not reflect what Canvasback will become. But still … this is a tremendous beginning for a new wine. Rich and structured, even in youth, one can taste the alchemy of sun, soil and fruit in this Cab/Merlot blend. Big berries and tannins that talk, but don’t scream, let you know that you are tasting wine from a special place. And the label is as pretty as anything in the shop.

R.I.P. ERIC DUNHAM I first met Eric Dunham in the oh-so-chic lobby of the Hotel Monaco in Seattle. He had come in the front door looking anything but chic in his “Walla-Walla” clothes, which included a healthy handful of vineyard dirt on his jeans. He was carrying a box of wine and at his side was his three-legged dog, Port, Eric’s best buddy. We tasted a wine that featured Port’s portrait on the label, called “Three Legged Red.” It was a value wine that would sell enough to make Dunham Cellars well known throughout the Pacific Northwest and give Eric the financial ability to grow as a winemaker producing awesome high-end Washington juice. News came last week that, at 44 years of age, Eric was lost to us, the victim of a suicide in Cannon Beach, Oregon. Like nearly all cases where someone takes their own life, we who are left behind are at a loss for explanation. All I know is this talented man has left us before his work was done. There were still so many vintages ahead for Eric, and for us. We can only hope that he and Port have reunited in a vineyard far, far away.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS
SERENDIPITY IN SANTA FE
ILLUSTRIOUS ASPEN CHEF CHARLES DALE DISHES ON FRANCE, OLD FRIENDS, AND HIS FINAL RESTAURANT AFTER 400 DUSTY MILES on a road trip that will stretch many hundred miles more, we arrive in Santa Fe. The sun is sinking low on the horizon, so we set our sights on dinner. But instead of seeking spicy Southwestern fare, I have something else in mind: French classics, with a twist. Eighteen months ago, Charles Dale— perhaps one of Aspen’s AMANDA RAE most influential chefs, notably for helming award-winning restaurants including Renaissance (1990), which earned him a Food & Wine Best New Chef title in 1995, Rustique Bistro (2000), and Range (2003)—opened a new joint in the heart of Santa Fe: Bouche Bistro. From the outside, Bouche resembles any other 70-year-old adobe abode in New Mexico. Inside, though, the 1,100-squarefoot space recalls a Provençal living room: warmly lit, wooden chairs packed with locals, and flanked by an open kitchen. Dale, 56, stands sentinel amid a whirl of white coats, alternately stirring dishes at the stove and greeting guests at the door just steps away. Our meal comprises dishes reminiscent of Dale’s storied career: charred octopus; black mussels marinated in white wine;
escargots à la Bourguignonne; frisée salad, updated with 60-degree egg and Humboldt Fog goat cheese; grilled sea bass with carrot-celery remoulade. La pièce de résistance — crème brulée, natch — is the version Dale has prepared since his apprenticeship at New York City’s famed Le Cirque in the late-1980s. It’s crèma Catalana, covered with velvety, chestnut-brown Demerara sugar and spared the blowtorch, unlike the glassy, saccharine preparation commonly associated with the iconic Parisian dessert. Like Dale’s other subtle flourishes, the swap has significant effect. “This is reductive French—not four different people with their hands on your food,” says Dale, pulling a chair to our table as service simmers down. “Simple French food, the kind I like to eat.” Read on for more about Dale’s final venture in the City Different —and an upcoming Aspen reunion. So, why Santa Fe? Eric Calderon, former GM at The Little Nell, tapped me to open a hotel here for Auberge Resorts. They wanted a restaurant with a hotel, rather than a hotel restaurant. I’d been part of a team for the revamp of the Hotel Jerome in 1988, under Dick Butera, and the opening of [New York City’s] Hotel Plaza Athénée in 1983. To have all
of the food and beverage on my shoulders was exciting. In 2012, management was ceded to Four Seasons, and I felt it was time to go back to being an entrepreneur. How is Bouche different from your restaurants in Aspen? Bouche represents the most authentic restaurant I’ve ever done. I learned from Rustique and Renaissance that the food I love is a blend of bistro cooking and French home cooking. There are dishes on the menu that remind me of my childhood [in Monaco]; the design is based around classic Parisian bistros, places you go in your neighborhood. I’d done so much fussy food and worked for fussy chefs — I’d been a fussy chef at one point — and in maturing realized that simplicity is the best expression of your craft. What are some examples? When I was a kid, we used to have a dish of endive wrapped in ham with béchamel sauce, cooked in the oven with Gruyère cheese. The butternut squash ravioli with Parisian ham, Gruyère, and soubise, gratinéed, is a seasonal hybrid of that. I grew up in the south of France, actually Monaco, on the

Italian border, so pasta dishes were part of our everyday meals. That’s where my love lies. The Tuna Carpaccio Niçoise is a version of a sandwich we used to take to the beach in the summer, pan bagnat — Niçoise salad in a sandwich: egg, tomato, greens, tuna, olives, dressing. This is a lighter, more contemporary version, on the menu since day one. What about the octopus? My dad used to go spearfishing for octopus in the port of Monaco. I remember him bringing it in and we would cook it in a tomato-olive sauce, Provençal style. That dish is probably as close as I get to fusion today, Greek influence with the chickpea purée and pimentón. But it’s all regional. There’s no lemongrass on the menu, for example. Any dishes from Aspen, specifically? The beef short ribs pot-aufeu style we evolved at Rustique. Instead of cabbage, I use leaves of Brussels sprouts. Calf ’s liver with Dijon sauce, the way my mom used to make it, was on the original Rustique menu. I do a different version of frisée salad

today, the only nod to my background in molecular gastronomy, when Barclay Dodge was chef de cuisine at Renaissance: A 60-degree egg, cooked in its shell in an immersion circulator so it’s perfectly poached when we crack it. We do pork belly lardons instead of bacon, too. What’s the story behind the molten-center L&L’s Cheese Tots we tried? That’s for my children, Lili and Lucien. They were both born in Aspen. When they were little they used to order grilled-cheese sandwiches. They’d take the cheese from the sandwich, stuff it in the tater tots, and say, ‘Hey Dad, try this!’ [laugh] I said, Someday I’ll put this on my menu… so I did. Were you wary of opening a locals’ eatery on the tail of a recession? We’re full almost every night, so something is working. Parisians — French restaurants — don’t advertise. Bouche — the word for ‘mouth’ — implies ‘word of mouth,’ as well as métier de la bouche, my profession as a cook — ‘craft of the mouth.’ We depend on people telling their friends and visitors that Bouche is a place where you can have a good meal. Have you faced other challenges? One of the great disasters of all time was printing a menu with Dover sole on it…and then realizing I couldn’t get true Dover sole. I had to use what the fish purveyors were calling Dover sole, which was more like Petrale sole. We wanted to poach something sous-vide; we wanted something healthy, to dispel the notion that French cuisine is rich and butter-heavy. I maintain that people eat more butter on our
house-made bread than we ever put in the food! The sole would fall apart when we took it out of the bag. Some people loved it; other people hated it. I thought, ‘Gosh, I can’t have anything that 50 percent of people hate. So I had to scrap 1,500 menus and change to halibut. I don’t stand by the mistakes forever. You’ve said that Bouche is your last restaurant. Really? Yeah. This week it stands! [laugh] So you might change your mind? I’m a restless creative type. You never know, if I feel like it’s reached its zenith, like with Renaissance, I might change it. What’s happening this winter? I’m looking forward to James Mazzio joining me here for Christmas with a view to join me [permanently] as chef de cuisine. He came and did
a guest-chef appearance in the spring, then went back to Snowmass, then came down for the Santa Fe Wine & Chili Fiesta. A reunion of sorts, with a fellow Food & Wine Best New Chef [1999] to boot! He was my chef de cuisine at Renaissance for several years. I have a menu that was signed in 1996 by Julia Child, Jacques Pépin, Marcella Hazan, and Daniel Boulud — it was an incredible time that we had. We’ve all grown. That will bring me back to the Italian piece of my heritage. It’s risky putting this in an article, in case he changes his mind, but I know he’s coming for the holiday. So, when I say it’s my last restaurant, its nice to qualify it. If I get a little more help, I might do more…. In 2012, a road trip led Amanda Rae to Aspen. amandaraewashere@gmail.com

ASPEN UNTUCKED
by BARBARA PLATTS
What to do when the heart of offseason sets in and downtown Aspen is completely hushed? Here are a few ideas.
NOW WHAT? OFFSEASON OPTIONS TOWN HAS EMPTIED. We can now park wherever we want. We expect almost every restaurant in town to be closed. And we anticipate zero wait at those restaurants and bars that are still open. Offseason in Aspen is when many locals flee. They go home or venture out on an adventure halfway across the world. Whilst they all head BARBARA out on their intrepid PLATTS travels, the rest of us (myself usually included) get to stay put and continue working. But this really isn’t as bad as it sounds. The quiet streets, closed businesses and quickly changing weather help remind us that Aspen is not just a summer and winter destination. It’s a home year-round. And, even though the town is hushed, there’s still plenty to do. You just have to know where to look and what you are looking for. Here are some of my favorite things to do in this offseason:
OFF THE BEATEN PATH Fall is the pristine time for a bit of off-roading fun. The roads aren’t dusty and dry like they typically are in the summer months, but they’re also not covered in ice — yet. Find a
ASPEN TIMES FILE PHOTO
fun group and an acceptable vehicle and hit the roads less traveled. One of my favorite routes is up the front or back of Ajax just before sunset. Bring snacks and some lively tunes for the adventure.
I’m in there amongst thousands of books. We don’t know how much longer Explore Booksellers will be here since the building is for sale. This is a true tragedy, for a town to lose such an amazing bookstore.
WE’RE ALL READY TO SHRED SOME MAJOR POW. BUT REMEMBER TO ENJOY THE PRESENT MOMENT. OFFSEASON IS A WELCOMED GIFT IN MY BOOK. IT PROVIDES A TIME FOR UNLIKELY ADVENTURES AND NEW DISCOVERIES. BRUNCHING IT Indulging in some kind of eggs Benny and a mimosa or two is the best way to start a Saturday in Aspen. During the season, there are several brunch destinations. But in the offseason, those choices get dwindled down to only a few establishments. A surprising favorite for me is the Hickory House. It may not be as glamorous as its brunch counterparts, but it’s wonderfully decadent and reasonably priced. Plus, the spacious dining room makes it possible to invite all of your friends — and those randoms you met last night — to a family meal.
GETTING LOST IN OTHERS’ STORIES By far, one of my favorite buildings in Aspen is the Explorer Booksellers. I love everything about it, from how it smells to how crowded I feel when
We have to enjoy it and appreciate it while we still have the time. I love going in and searching through the literature and travel sections. Of course, I usually come out having bought far too many books, but I’m OK with that.
FOOTBALL FANDOM OK…I’m not really a football fan. I only jump on the bandwagon when the Super Bowl is roughly two weeks out. However, being that it’s offseason and finding lively crowds can be a challenge, I do enjoy some Sunday afternoon or Monday night pigskin. For me, it’s a good time to visit with friends, have a couple beers and eat excessive amounts of pub food. I can do all of this while having to pay limited attention to the actual program on television. I just try and follow the general sentiment in the room at any given time. The best
places in town to enjoy this offseason pastime are Ryno’s and Finnbarr’s. Monday nights at Matsuhisa are also a lot of fun.
BAR DINING One of my favorite things to do is go out to dinner with a good friend. I love catching up and getting involved in interesting discussions over a bottle of red wine and a tasty meal. And, at this moment in time, my favorite place to do that is at the bar at Rustique. This restaurant is open just about all the time during offseason and the bar menu boasts some well-priced food options. Plus, if you’re lucky, you’ll have Steve as your bartender and he’ll conclude your meal with a round of Limoncello shots for dessert. There is much to anticipate for this winter season and I know we’re all ready to shred some major pow. But, remember to enjoy the present moment. Offseason is a welcomed gift in my book. It provides a time for unlikely adventures and new discoveries.

SET-UP MAN SET DESIGNER TOM WARD ON MAKING THE WORLDS OF ASPEN COMMUNITY THEATRE by ANDREW TRAVERS
TOM WARD EMPTIED A SCROLL from a cardboard tube and spread it across the stage of the Wheeler Opera House on a recent afternoon. On the graph paper were his hand-drawn designs for the set of Aspen Community Theatre’s fall production of “Nunsense,” opening Friday, Nov. 7. Looming above him was the completed (well, nearly completed) set itself. The play calls for an auditorium in a Catholic school where the 8th graders are putting on a production of “Grease.” So Ward’s set is a mix of churchy touches, like lancet arches, and 1950s era flourishes like a jukebox, a period-appropriate car and soda-shop bar. The set’s journey from Ward’s imagination to the
22

F
No v e m b e r 6 - No v e m b e r 12 , 20 14
paper — and onto the Wheeler stage — took about five months. Ward’s creative adventure as Aspen’s go-to set designer, however, has been going for more than threeand-a-half decades. By producer Rita Hunter’s count, “Nunsense” is Ward’s 29th show with Aspen Community Theatre. He began working with the nonprofit in its second year, on the 1977 production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” Ward has been the nonprofit’s set man for most of the years since, taking time off as he and his wife started a family, but designing sets for the last 17 years straight.
“TOM’S AMAZING,” SAYS HUNTER. “HE REALLY COULD BE ON BROADWAY.” -RITA HUNTER, PRODUCER PHOTO BY AUBREE DALLAS

ard has a creative hand in most of the shows you’ll see in the Roaring Fork Valley. As he readied “Nunsense” for opening night, for example, he was also in the early stages of designing Aspen High School’s upcoming “Singin’ in the Rain” production, Colorado Mountain College’s “The Women of Lockerbie,” Take 10’s winter shows and more for summer 2015. “It’s a fascinating job,” he says. “As a designer, I get to look at all different periods. So one is a Georgian house and the next is in the future, and the next is 500 years ago or on the Moors of Scotland. It’s a wonderful challenge to do all of that.” His community theater sets have been known to draw ovations upon their unveiling. They’ve included the two-story platform and Argentine street scenery of “Evita,” the Siamese palace of “The King and I,” the colonial world of “1776,” the Old West of “Crazy for You” and the Middle Eastern desert of “Jesus Christ Superstar,” which he shaped out of burlap. He’s particularly fond of challenging sets where pieces have to take on multiple uses, but Ward can’t pick favorites.
A SMALL EXPERIMENT Audiences have come to expect spectacles from Aspen Community Theatre, along with a high production value and professionalism rarely seen in the amateur ranks of community theater. “Nunsense” is the smallest, simplest production the nonprofit has ever staged, says producer Rita Hunter, now in her 34th year at the helm of Aspen Community Theatre. Recent shows have shot for the moon in scope. The casts have included between 40 and 50 volunteer performers, with elaborate set and costume changes in last year’s “The Producers,” and “Crazy for You” the year before. For “Oliver!” in 1994 the cast numbered 75. The 2011 production of “1776” — with a cast of 25 — was considered small by Aspen Community Theatre standards. That recent history makes “Nunsense” — with a cast of five, a single set, no costume changes and a four-man band (led by David Dyer) instead of a full orchestra — something of an anomaly for the nonprofit. Hunter says she wanted to try a less complicated show and see how it played to the Aspen crowd. “We’ve never done a musical this small,” she says. “It’s a bit of an experiment. We’ve done pretty much all the big shows over the last 37 years, so we

thought we could do a small show.” This year’s show also marks Aspen Community Theatre’s return to its downtown home in the Wheeler Opera House. Its productions have been hosted in the Aspen District Theatre since 2011’s “Evita.” In the nonprofit’s early years, it staged shows in Paepcke Auditorium and the Aspen High School Commons, moving to the Wheeler in the mid-’80s. At a recent run-through of the show, the five women in the “Nunsense” cast — all Aspen Community Theatre alums, except Eileen Seeley, who makes her debut as the domineering Sister Mary Regina — hammed it up on-stage. They were working on navigating dance steps in their nun regalia and cracking off-script jokes in mid-song, displaying a winning chemistry that’s formed over the months of preparation, and perhaps a loopiness born of late rehearsal exhaustion. Hunter sat in the first row, sewing a costume, with stage director Murray Johnson beside her following along in the script, and director Lynnete Schlepp a few rows back, trouble-shooting and yelling occasional notes to her actresses. The popular musical had its original run OffBroadway, opening in late 1985 and running for more than 3,600 performances — making it the
second longest-running Off-Broadway play in history. In the three decades since it opened, it has become an international hit — with translations in 26 languages and thousands of productions — while spawning a series of sequels and spin-offs, such as the men-in-drag adaptation, “Nunsense A-Men.” Hunter originally saw the musical in a touring production that stopped at the Wheeler 25 years ago, and saw it again 10 years back in a Front Range production starring Snowmass Village actress Beth Malone. The show is a light-hearted, family-friendly comedy, heavy on puns and silly stage gags. The plot revolves around five of the surviving nuns in the Little Sisters of Hoboken convent — in New Jersey — attempting to raise funds to bury the 52 nuns killed by a tainted batch of vichyssoise (cooked, naturally, by Sister Julia Child of God). Among them is a nun without a memory who has been struck in the head by a crucifix (Sister Mary Amnesia), a Brooklyn broad, and an aspiring ballerina. If you go, expect some audience participation and habit-clad hijinks in songs like “Holier Than Thou” and “Just a Coupl’a Sisters.” “Everything about nuns is funny — the clickers, the habits,” Hunter says. “I promise people will love this show.”

“My favorite show is always the one I’m working on right now,” he says. “I need to do that so that my head is in it.” Along with his ample theater work – likely eight shows over the next year — Ward is also codirector of the Aspen Chapel Gallery, which hosts eight shows by local artists annually. His meticulous, imaginative approach embodies the unusually professional standard of Aspen Community Theatre. Ward began working on his “Nunsense” set in June, discussing his concept with director Lynnette Schlepp. For bigger shows, the process can take much longer. On 2013’s “The Producers,” for instance, set design began a full year in advance. “I’m a storyteller,” Ward says of the job. “I provide the visuals and I provide where [actors] are going to tell their story.” Over the course of a production, Ward gets to know a show, from a visual perspective, as well as
No v e m b e r 6 - No v e m b e r 12 , 20 14
the director and actors know it from a character, or plot arc standpoint. “In my head, I have to direct the show as a designer,” he explains. He plans out how a cast will move through the built environment, and plans for contingencies, different choices a director or actor might bring to a show. “It’s not just sitting down and saying, ‘Oh, that looks good!’” he says. Ward gets the script early on, reads it multiple times and does a script analysis, noting all of the sets and how characters interact with them. “I go through he script, and I make notes on any sets — so it says ‘comes through door,’ ‘sits on couch’ — anything like that.” From there, he looks at photos or video of other productions, to see what others have done with it. “That’s just so I know what I don’t want to do,” he says with a laugh. “Then I find a way to make it my own.”

After that, he draws his design (unlike most set designers and architects today, he still draws all of his plans by hand) and then builds a model on a miniature stage — in the case of “Nunsense,” a scaled model of the Wheeler. The director then uses his model to block the show and plan the actors’ movements. Over the last five years, Aspen Community Theatre has contracted with Enigma Concepts and Design, in Longmont, to build Ward’s sets. The partnership has given Ward freedom to make some complex creations that he couldn’t when he relied on his own two hands and those of local volunteers. Bringing an outside builder on-board was also a pragmatic decision, as the number of volunteers working with Aspen Community Theatre has waned, and those who’ve stuck around have aged, according to Ward. Hunter, an Aspen Community Theatre producer for more than three decades, has made an effort to get Aspen’s younger generation involved with the nonprofit in recent years, bringing some new, youngish board members into the fold in the hopes that a new generation will take the reins and Aspen Community Theatre will continue beyond the time of those who started it nearly 40 years ago. Ward, Hunter and other long-serving stewards of Aspen Community Theatre have, over the decades, made it a rare community theater company: one that can rival professional productions (see sidebar). “We’ve worked to raise the bar, in terms of production values, and keeping it as high as we can,” says Ward. “When we have such strong performers, it should look like a professional production. … So there’s a big difference from the early years, when I would have to design knowing there was a limit to how far I could push it.” Opening night is a mix of joy and stress, as he describes it. The cast and crew’s friends and family tend to fill the house, making it a love-fest in front of an enthusiastic crowd. But seeing his sets at work, in front of a live audience, for the first time can be a nail-biting experience. “Last year, with ‘The Producers,’ there were five set changes in the last two pages of the script – I knew we’d get through them, but they’re tight and they’re timed,” Ward says. “So, in times like that, you just sweat.” But Ward believes his sets aren’t truly done until they’re put to use in front of a crowd. “No show is a show until there’s an audience,” he says.

VOYAGES
DESTINATION | TUSCANY, ITALY
WALKING ITALY:
A PICTURESQUE WAY TO SEE TUSCANY WALKING FROM THE TOWNS of Buonconvento to Montalcino as part of a weeklong trek through Tuscany, I was faced with a tough decision. How many bottles of wine could I reasonably carry in my daypack? The road that led to this quandary had passed right by the Caparzo winery — so naturally, we stopped in for a sample. Now I weighed the taste of the award-winning Brunello against the realities of being only midway through our 9-mile walk on a warm day: A grueling ascent up a steep grade to Montalcino still lay ahead. I opted to carry only one bottle. Once it was packed away, we topped up our water and continued on, past rolling vineyards and along a short stretch of the Via Francigena, an ancient pilgrim route running from France to Rome. It was another typical day on our self-guided trip walking from townto-town in Tuscany’s Val d’Orcia. If we could avoid encountering vipers and wild boar, we had nary a care in the world. My husband and I had booked the tour through Girosole, which specializes in customized Italian walking tours and conveniently has a U.S. office. Because the trips are private, we got to pick the departure date and duration. We opted for seven nights in five towns. On the other two days we were shuttled in one direction and walked in the other.
They handled all the logistics: hotel reservations, shuttles to and from the train, baggage transfers, detailed walking directions and even a cellphone for emergencies. Our responsibilities were few. We only needed to have our bags packed by 9 a.m., bring enough water, and try not to lose the directions. (After dropping them once on the roadside, I took a picture of them each day with my iPhone as a backup.) Otherwise, we were free to walk and sightsee at our own pace. The directions, while not infallible, were very specific, referencing distances, landmarks, topography and the occasional marker from the Italian alpine club. They also included useful tidbits like the amount of shade, the availability of water, the locations of bathrooms and whether neighborhood dogs were friendly. The landscape — with large farmhouses and borders of cypress trees — often seemed familiar, immortalized in countless paintings during the Renaissance by artists from the Sienese School. Ten years ago, the Val d’Orcia, about 25 miles south of Siena, was named a UNESCO World Heritage site, chosen for its artistic influence, and its association with the utopian ideals of sustainable rural development. Often we walked on dirt roads around vineyards or while watching a lone tractor traverse a wheat field.
Some days we passed through the forest where unseen wild boar left hoof prints on muddy paths. We visited two monasteries and skirted one truffle reserve. Other travelers were few. Most days we covered about 8 miles with an average elevation gain of 1,200 feet. We’d generally pass through the gates of the next walled town in the afternoon, just as the buses with the hordes of day-trippers from Siena and Florence were leaving. That was ideal. Although the hill towns thrive on tourism, it was nice to move beyond the cheese, wine and souvenir shops and explore their historic fortifications (including spectacular views from the ramparts in Montalcino), small museums (like the mansion of the Piccolomini clan in Pienza) and beautiful churches. We were fortunate to catch the start of the annual Festival of Barbarossa in San Quirico d’Orcia, held each June, in which the town’s four quarters re-enact a 12th-century competition with flag and archery contests. Adding to the ambiance in San Quirico was the discovery that our room at the hotel Palazzo del Capitano had a turret that afforded great sweeping views. When booking the tour, we had a choice of three levels of hotels and opted for the middle, somewhere
between standard and luxury. All of the hotels we stayed in were welcoming, clean and comfortable. Our bags were always waiting in our room, giving us plenty of time to clean up and explore the town before choosing where to have that night’s sumptuous dinner. Being Tuscany, the food was fabulous, often featuring dishes made from local truffles, pecorino or cinghiale — wild boar. Still, our most memorable meal was in the dining room at La Cisterna nel Borgo hotel, overlooking the well-preserved medieval piazza in the town of Rocca d’Orcia. It featured innovative dishes created from recipes and spices collected by the proprietors when they travel the world in the offseason. For wine, there was no place like Montepulciano, where restaurants like La Bottega del Nobile boasted as many as 60 local offerings by the glass. The famous city is often associated with the Val d’Orcia and was a stop on our trip, even though it sits in a neighboring territory. And that bottle of Brunello? It was exquisite. But I was glad I had decided to carry only one, because it turned out that the winery shipped. So many months later, with a case in my basement, I’m still enjoying the fruits of my trip.

LAFF FEST 2015: A WHOLE LOTTA LAUGHS “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE” alum Jim Breuer, NPR standout Ophira Eisenberg and stand-up stalwart Christopher Titus are among the headliners for the 2015 Aspen Laff Festival. The fifth annual Laff Fest runs Feb. 19-21 at the Wheeler Opera House, which also produces the three-day festival. Tickets go on sale Dec. 8. Boulder-based comic John “Hippieman” Novosad — a regular at the Wheeler since 2011 — opens the comedy festival with a free show on Thursday, Feb. 19. He’ll be followed by Breuer, the popular comic, memoirist, former “Saturday Night Live” cast member and “Half Baked” star. Friday’s festival includes two double sets and an early “Short Snort” show with “Last Comic Standing” contestant Andrew Sleighter, making his Aspen debut. The Short Snort format, introduced last year, offers a short Happy Hour set and an inexpensive ticket ($12 a head). Friday’s main shows begin with a double bill of Eisenberg and Robert Dubac at 7:15 p.m. Eisenberg, host of NPR’s “Ask Me Another,” was on the Wheeler stage in March, at a sold-out live taping of “The Moth.” Dubac is best known for his one-man shows “The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron?” and “The Book of Moron.” Friday closes with Kira Soltanovich and Tom Rhodes. Of Soltanovich, a San Francisco-based comic, Wheeler director Gram Slaton says, “We just think she’s one of the funniest women out there.” Rhodes has been doing stand-up for 30 years, and has made two Comedy Central specials. Saturday’s festival opens with a Short Snort set from Emily Galati, best known for appearances on “Last Comic Standing,” “Laughs” and “Stand Up for Diversity.” She’s followed by two returning Laff Fest
comics — Pete Lee and Josh Sneed — in a double set. The festival closes with Titus, who has twice filled the Wheeler for his high-energy Laff Fest sets. “If you have missed Chris in action during our 2011 or 2013 festivals, then you have missed the kind of bravura jaw-dropping, side-splitting tour de force that standup comedy’s been without since George Carlin left the stage,” says Wheeler director Gram Slaton. “But Chris is his own animal and we can say without a doubt, ‘Do not miss this show.’” Tickets for headliners will range in price from $22.50 to $30. Full festival passes are $112.50 and day passes are $46.50 for Friday and $52.50 for Saturday. “We just want everyone to come and experience everything,” says Slaton. “We’ll be featuring day passes again this year, and want to make it impossible for people to say ‘no’ to this great festival of ours.” The Laff Fest is the latest incarnation of comedy festival in
Aspen, where the Wheeler Opera House has hosted national stand-up acts for the last two decades. HBO’s U.S. Comedy Arts Festival filmed here from 1994 through 2007. After HBO left, the Wheeler has kept the laughs coming, first through a threeyear partnership with the Rooftop Comedy Festival and then through
the Wheeler-produced Laff Fest. The Wheeler will also host the onenight “Best of the Fests” on Dec. 20, featuring stand-outs from past years at the Laff Fest: Andy Hendrickson (2014), Jackie Kashian (2010) and Tammy Pescatelli (2013). atravers@aspentimes.com

feel as though you’re sitting beside him, sipping sherry in Bar Central or one of the many other Spanish watering holes he lovingly renders throughout. Berger is self-aware about the absurd fact that he’s carving out his Bohemian existence under the thumb of Franco, who had reigned since the 1930s. “So spontaneous, so free to be eccentric was life in Puerto Real that for long periods I forgot I was living in a police state, under a notorious dictator,” he writes.
