THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

MUSIC LUCY WAINWRIGHT ROCHE is carrying on a family tradition in song and stopping into Steve’s Guitars in Carbondale for an intimate show on Nov. 15. It promises to be a special show. Her mother, Suzzy Roche (of the trio The Roches), is joining her for the evening performance. The pair is touring in support of their duo release, “Fairytale and Myth,” which was released last year and nominated for the Independent Music Award for Best Singer/ Songwriter Album. Lucy Wainwright Roche, the daughter of singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III and Suzzy Roche, is based in Brooklyn, N.Y., and is the most recent member of her family to emerge in the music world. She’s half-sister to Aspen favorite Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright. But, at 32, Lucy Wainwright Roche is distinguishing herself among the luminaries in her musical family. She hadn’t been following the family path and was working as a teacher until she took to the road with Rufus in 2005 and caught the troubadour bug. She began releasing her own music in 2007, beginning with two eight-song EPs, and has made two full indie-folk albums, 2010’s “Lucy” and last year’s “There’s a Last Time for Everything.” More information at www.stevesguitars.net.

Mother-daughter musical duo Lucy Wainwright Roche and Suzzy Roche will play Steve’s Guitars in Carbondale on Nov. 15.

CURRENTEVENTS MUSIC

Local photographers Kate Rolston and Tyler Stableford recently documented people swimming with whale sharks in Mexico.

ART

The Woody Creek Community Center’s Scorpio Party on Nov. 18 will include music from Thunderclaw, above.

ANOTHER SHOW WORTH VENTURING PAST the roundabout for is the Nov. 18 Scorpio Party at the Woody Creek Community Center. It’s a celebration of all the Woody Creatures celebrating November birthdays, but it will include music by Thunderclaw and DJ Benny along with food and drink. The party starts at 8 p.m. More information at www.woodyc3.org.

LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHERS Kate Rolston and Tyler Stableford traveled to Mexico earlier this year to, literally, swim with sharks. The resulting photo series, titled “The Deep,” chronicled the experience of swimming beside whale sharks. The series is on display in a gallery show at Phat Thai in Carbondale, with an opening reception on Nov. 13 at 5 p.m.

CHICKEN

Friendly, affectionate, 2-yearold Miniature Poodle mix. Gets along well with people and other pets. She is a bit timid upon initial introductions, but quickly lets her guard down and blossoms into a loving companion.

Gentle, 10-year-old, retired sled dog who gets along well with other dogs. She used to be shy with people, but has really come out of her shell. She loves to go on walks with volunteers.

BEAR

This cute, quiet, four-year-old Terrier/Chihuahua mix was found wandering on the backside of Aspen Mountain on Midnight Mine Rd. on 10/11/14. He is really sweet and gets along great with people and other pets, including cats. We named him Terry.

TERRY

Sleek, long-legged, athletic, 4-year-old Husky mix with gorgeous eyes. Gets along well with people +other dogs, but does not like cats. A typical Husky, Bear is not trustworthy off-leash and requires a responsible, knowledgeable, active home. What a sweetie!

Six feisty, yet affectionate, 10-week-old Cattle Dog/Lab mixes that were rescued from Chinle, Arizona. They are happy, healthy, adorable, and ready to be adopted!

SAM

Very cute, strong, energetic, 7-year-old Pit Bull mix who looks like an oversized Boston Terrier. Incredibly alert + very smart. Great with all people, including children, but she might be best as an only pet. Has started playing with larger males! Loves to play.

TYSON AND BUDDY

Tyson is an active, affectionate, 8-year-old Miniature Pinscher who gets along well with people and other pets, including cats. He was released to the shelter with his best friend, Buddy, who is also good with people and other pets. Buddy is an adorable, affectionate, 6-year-old Maltese male. They were turned in because of housing and would love to be adopted together, but it is not mandatory. These are great dogs!

EMMA

Emma has matured beautifully! She is an adorable, sweet, 6-month-old puppy with incredibly large ears that shoot up to the sky and suggest the possibility of some German Shepherd blood in her lineage. Emma is active, playful, and gets along well with everyone!

ALLIE

Allie is a beautiful, athletic, 6-year-old Black Lab/Pitbull mix who is happy, friendly, affectionate and energetic. She is awesome with all people, but she can behave aggressively towards cats and other dogs. Allie will thrive in a knowledgeable, responsible, active home.

Gentle, 7-year-old Chow mix. Great with mellow dogs, cats + people. Shy at first. Loves to cuddle A loyal companion. Just uncomfortable around active children + dogs so quiet, adult household is best.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with JOHN COLSON

It’s all over but the shouting, I shout TIRED OF LISTENING TO THE BACKWASH of election whining yet? Well, if you are, that’s just too bad, ’cuz I’ve got a few things I need to get off my chest. One is that we deserve the government we get, because we vote the buggers into office. So, can we expect, over the next four years, a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, approval of the Keystone Pipeline with no strings attached, further weakening of environmental-protection laws in general (and the abandonment, in particular, of any effort to stem the pollutant tide feeding global warming), further attacks on a woman’s right to control her own health care choices, more tax loopholes for the rich and higher taxes for the rest of us, the unraveling of pot-legalization efforts across the land, further entrenchment of the election-buying free-for-all that is now the political reality of the land, blockage of any and all court and bureaucratic appointments and many more wretched outcomes? If so, we asked for it. Of course, I can just hear the lamentations and objections from readers, complaining that “I didn’t ask for any of this; I’m a liberal; I feel the same pain you do.” My first question would be: Did you vote? My next question would be: Did you work on behalf of progressive candidates in any way? If the answer to either of those is a weakly mouthed “no,” then you’ve got no right to complain over the results of the Nov. 4 election. Those results, just to recap, gave the Republican Party control of both houses of Congress, and other victories too disappointing to recount here, in as complete a rout of Democrats as has been accomplished in some time. The errors and omissions that led to this rout are myriad and just as enervating as the defeat itself, ranging from the unmitigated lies told in countless television ads and stump speeches by the Republican candidates themselves and their shadowy backers to too many witless and spineless demonstrations of nervous breakdowns suffered by Democrats and their supposed supporters. The exceptions, of course, prove the rule, as too few candidates among the Dems actually stood up for their convictions. Most, instead, relied on weak protestations against Republican bad acts and near-mute appeals to the

better instincts of the voters, assuming those ever existed. A map of the U.S. election results tells it best, with blood-red dominating. What this all represents, to me, is nothing more than an indication that the U.S. electorate wants more than anything to believe the Republican mythology that all will be well if we just let the rich get richer, allow the corporations to control everything we buy, learn, think and do, and imagine ourselves living the fat and happy life we supposedly enjoyed in the 1950s. Never mind that a disturbing percentage of Americans were left out of that particular party at the mid-20thcentury mark or that the percentage of left-outs has been creeping ever upward in the past couple of decades as the middle class shrinks, the upper class gets more bloated and a little bigger and the lower classes expand numerically. How long can it be before the resurgent privateers in Congress renew efforts to put our much-maligned Social Security system in the hands of Wall Street fat cats, maliciously and nearsightedly ignoring the fact that if they’d had their way a decade ago our Social Security system would have foundered during the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009? And what about Republicans’ racist attacks on the Affordable Care Act, which they derisively labeled “Obamacare” as a way of subtly linking the act and the president to the other much-maligned and misrepresented federal programs Medicare/Medicaid? How long will it be before they try to repeal the only effort in decades to fix our elitist and broken health care system, pale and ineffective as that fix turned out to be? The list of potential havoc to any gains made by progressives in recent decades is embarrassingly long and terrifying in its possibilities. It may even be that the Republicans, emboldened by the 2014 ass-whupping they gave the Democrats, will try to impeach Obama for some imagined or mythical wrong, bringing us yet another round of bad political theater reminiscent of Monica-gate in the Clinton years. We should never forget that it was a lying, greedy former Bush (Daddy Bush, not the Shrub) administration functionary, Linda Tripp, who latched onto Monica-gate as a potentially lucrative subject for an as-yet unrealized, tattle-telling book deal about the Clinton administration.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

March birthdays on Galena Street featured melting snow; those in November faced snowfall.

BIRTHDAY SNOW I have never forecast the weather on TV, nor have I worked

for the National Weather Service, but I can predict snow for tomorrow. Almost always snow falls on Nov. 14, my birthday. In a reliable pattern, storms arrive in Aspen weekly, starting on my birthday and recurring through the end of the month. The crazy past few years’ precipitation trend and global warming may have ended the streak, but I still say it’s going to snow. It began when I was born. That night, while the world waited for the announcement of the birth of Prince Charles, my parents looked out on a snowstorm from a window at Aspen Hospital. The storm dumped so much snow that from then on, my parents always connected the first big snowfall of the year with my birthdate. The other reason I remember it snowing on my birthday so often is that my birthday parties were often curtailed by the weather. My mother took one of the only photos of a party for me on a year when it did not snow. In that photo, all the guests lined up outside our home in the Cowenhoven Building, and it looked like summer. In contrast, my sister often enjoyed outside events for her March birthday parties, when snow melted rather than whipped down

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

from the sky. My most memorable birthday coincided with a big snowstorm, most likely when I was 8 or

gave me a wood box emblazoned with the Toklat emblem. I opened it to find rose quartz and jasper, my favorite gems.

IT BEGAN WHEN I WAS BORN. THAT NIGHT, WHILE THE WORLD WAITED FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE BIRTH OF PRINCE CHARLES, MY PARENTS LOOKED OUT ON A SNOWSTORM FROM A WINDOW AT ASPEN HOSPITAL. THE STORM DUMPED SO MUCH SNOW THAT FROM THEN ON, MY PARENTS ALWAYS CONNECTED THE FIRST BIG SNOWFALL OF THE YEAR WITH MY BIRTHDATE. 9. Like many boys that age, I was a collector, and my specialty was rocks. I found them, sold them and piled them into boxes in my room. The most memorable gift of that birthday needed no wrapping paper. My classmate Alan Mace

No v e m b e r 13 - No v e m b e r 19, 20 14

Too soon, Stuart Mace, Alan’s father, arrived to take Alan home to Ashcroft. He was covered with snow and made it clear that Alan, who was in no hurry to leave, had to go “now.” I had spent many a night at Toklat in those years and remember the long

trip before the road was paved to Ashcroft. Stuart knew every inch of that road and drove at speeds no one else would dare. Riding along that road in a blinding snowstorm would not have been fun. After Alan left, others began to depart with parents all concerned about the storm. A few parents arrived late due to the inclement weather. After everyone had left my party, I sat alone in the living room admiring my rocks and other presents. I remember looking out the large picture windows to watch giant flakes tumble to the ground. I could not see the Aspen Block across Galena Street because it was snowing so hard. No traffic, and few pedestrians passed. Aspen had hunkered down for a snowy night. That birthday, my mother began her annual ritual of telling me about the day I was born and the storm that accompanied it. And that’s why I am convinced that it will snow in Aspen on Nov. 14. 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 redmtn@ schat.net.

ROCKIN’ THE VOTE

1900 ASPEN

“THE SCHOOL ELECTION YESTERDAY was perhaps the most hotly contested and lively election ever experienced in the city of Aspen,” according to the Aspen Daily Times on May 7, 1895. “The polls were opened at the Lincoln school building at 1 o’clock in the afternoon and as they were to close at 5 o’clock people interested in getting the votes out got a hustle on themselves. The friends of Dr. Robinson had taken time by the forelock and hired all the available rigs in the city. This left the friends of Dr. Hills handicapped to a certain extent, but several private conveyances were brought into requisition. The city was alive with carriages, buggies and express wagons, about four-fifths of them carrying banners, ‘vote for Robinson.’ A little sprinkle of rain came up once or twice, but not enough to dampen the ardor of the workers and voters. The scene around the polls was a lively one, as can easily be imagined when it is taken into consideration that for a couple of hours nearly 500 per hour was polled. Although friends of the respective candidates were zealous and earnest in their work, and so far as learned no wrangling occurred during the entire day.” The photograph above shows several carriages in front of the Lincoln School for the school election in 1900. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at www.aspenhistory.org.

BOTTOMS UP: SILICONE DRINKING CUPS

GET IT

&UP

www.silipint.com

COULD SILICONE BE “THE PERFECT MATERIAL” for a drinking cup? Bend, Ore., based Silipint believes so, and the company sells a line of cups made of the material. I’ve used these flexible glasses for a couple years, including around home and on camping trips. They feel like a soft plastic or rubber, but silicone is not petroleum-based. Raw silicone is comprised of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and silicon. It’s a non-toxic material with no petrochemicals or plastics added. Silipint touts it uses “100% food-grade” silicone. When shaped into a glass, the result is an insulating vessel that works with a range of liquids. I prefer cold drinks — water or beer have been the most common beverages in my Silipint glasses — as the thick walls keep the liquid cool. Coffee, tea and other hot drinks are fine, too. The company notes its cups can withstand temperatures up to 500 degrees F.

They are dishwasher-safe. But a simple rinse-out and air dry is all that’s needed after grabbing a glass of water. Silicone does not support microbiological growth. Because of their versatility, the cups are convenient for travel or camping. They flex and stack together, and the cups are unbreakable. Silipints come in 8- and 16-ounce sizes and cost about $8 and up depending on the type. Try one out if you’re looking for a flexible alternative to the disposable cup.

THE LUSH LIFE GREAT GRENACHE. “Umm…that’s smooth.” That is probably the most uttered phrase used by people who lack a diverse wine vocabulary when they attempt to describe a red wine they really like. It may be that they like the aromas, the flavors of the fruit or the acidity of the wine. But the word that comes to mind is “smooth.” Kind of KELLY J. HAYES like smooth jazz. And there is nothing wrong with that. If what they taste seems “smooth” to them then that means they have something good in their glass. Perhaps no other grape can elicit the “smooth” description better than Grenache. It is a grape that, either on its own, or in concert with myriad other varietals, can produce lush, rich and yes, smooth, wines. That is to say, they not only taste good, they feel good in your mouth. The textures of a Grenache can vary widely, but when done right, they can feel like liquid velvet. They are the kind of wines you can sip and swirl for hours. “Rayas.” That was the instant answer — without hesitation, unflinching — that Master Sommelier and Chefs Club CEO Jonathan Pullis gave me when I asked him what one wine best defines Grenache. He was referring to the rare and expensive wines from Chateau Rayas from Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the Southern Rhone, which is the cradle of the grape. Of course, those Masters get to taste all of the good stuff. He is on point. The wines of Rayas are almost always 100 percent sourced from the magnificent old-vine Grenache that covers much of the small vineyard. If there is a wine from CDP that is as prized by collectors as First Growth Bordeaux or Premier Cru Burgundy, it may well be these great artisan wines from the Reynaud family.

Born in Spain (or so it is thought), the grape earned its pedigree in the Rhône and has traveled the globe with vigor. From Spain’s Priorat, where it is called Garnacha, to the outstanding GSMs of the Barossa Valley of Australia to the up-and-coming winemakers in Paso Robles who have fallen in love with the grape, there are outstanding expressions of Grenache being produced around the world. Surprisingly, at least to me, Grenache is the second-most widely planted red wine grape on earth next to Cabernet Sauvignon. But for the most part it has been considered a “blending” grape, one that has been used to bulk up another wine or to provide a little spice. It grows like a proverbial weed and can tolerate heat like a camel. (Hence the reason it predominates in places where the sun beats down.) But for some reason it has been given a supporting role rather than a star turn by most winemakers. It remains under the radar of most drinkers and there are sensational values to be found. A $12 wine that can be found on the shelves of the Roaring Fork Valley is a Grenache/Syrah/ Mourvedre (GSM) blend from d’Arenberg in South Australia’s McLaren Vale. The 2012 vintage is a great introduction to the lovely texture and flavors of a wine that leads with Grenache as its high notes. If Spain floats your boat, look for the $10 Las Rocas, also readily available in the local shops. From Catalyud, a hot region, this big bold, 15 percent alcohol wine has a bit of pepper and spice, but is not harsh or out of balance. At that price you can make it a house wine for any night you fire up the grill. The hot bed for domestic Grenache is the central California Coast and the Paso Robles region. The Perrin family of Châteauneufdu-Pape fame came here in the 1980s and brought cuttings from a number of Rhône varietals,

including Grenache. As the area has exploded, many winemakers in Paso recognized the beauty of the grape and began working with Grenache, both by itself and in blends. The results have been striking and wines from Villa Creek, Adelaida Cellars and Justin are worth seeking out. These wines range from big and jammy to more delicate examples, but all are reflections of a grape that is just

beginning to get its due and to be explored to its full potential. SMOOTH. 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 2010 ALTO MONCAYO CAMPO DE BORJA GARNACHA A big bottle and a big wine. This 100 percent Grenacha, that would be Spanish for Grenache, is dark in the glass and full of both fruit and flavor. As the nights get colder and the dishes grow heartier, this is a terrific accompaniment to your dinner. Sip in front of the fire. En Fuego.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

BARBECUE OR BUST!

FINDING BRISKET ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE LONE STAR STATE WE’VE BEEN IN AUSTIN a week when anxiety kidnaps me: I still haven’t tasted authentic Texas barbecue. For shame! But I have an excuse. My darling travel pal is pescetarian, and it doesn’t seem fair to drag her to a three-hourlong line at legendary Franklin Barbecue for a meal she won’t enjoy. I could pay some cash-strapped fool from Craigslist to wait AMANDA RAE in line for me, but I’ve heard that cheating the system makes for an inauthentic experience. Besides, I’d rather put that extra $60 toward OMG-level sushi that we’ll both devour at Uchi. On the eve of my solo drive home (my friend will catch a flight headed elsewhere), I scout options. The place I pick must be one of the Top 50 Barbecue Joints, a list whittled from a whopping 658 pits in the state by Texas Monthly magazine, the first and only publication to have a food editor devoted solely to barbecue. Unfortunately, Franklin is closed on Monday, as are two other hot spots near Austin. I aim for a roadside dive near Fort Worth some three hours north, and hope for the best. It’s exactly the kind of place I picture to serve finger-lickin’-good, no-frills barbecue. The weathered shack sits in a sprawling field, belching thick curls of smoke. I accept a sample of signature brisket sausage, and the rave reviews make sense. The ribs are smoky and the meat slips clean off the bone, but the meal as a whole underwhelms with limp Wonder Bread and yellow blobs of potato salad and coleslaw, one indistinguishable from the other. Alas, the sauce — thin and vinegary, not the sweet, sticky stuff I prefer — is no salvation for dry brisket. I wash my hands and slink back to my car. What a bust. That night at a sad motel in Amarillo — approximate midpoint of the 17-hour journey back to Aspen — I marinate on my foul fortune. Just one day of driving to go, and still no awe-inspiring barbecue. In the morning, I stop by Cadillac Ranch on historic Route 66…which,

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

I discover, is located a lucky seven miles from another Top 50 Joint: Tyler’s Barbeque. It opens at 11 on Tuesdays. Hallelujah! The sign is high off a busy street in Amarillo’s commercial district — and there’s a drive-thru. Does this qualify as roadhouse barbecue? The modest dining room, a sea of checkered tablecloths and country tchotchkes, is filling up with a working crowd: a small army of men in uniform, grease-smudged guys in Dickies coveralls, country boys fidgeting in slacks and starched shirts, a state trooper in moto gear. I’m the only lady, which doesn’t bother me, but I notice. (I learn later that only 15 percent of Tyler’s customers are women, rarely alone—that’s just how it is.) I order a combo plate — ribs, brisket, two sides, with thick, unbuttered slices of grilled Texas toast — slather on Tyler’s Red Panther Hot Sauce, pick a corner table, and tuck in. I tip forward, literally on the edge of my seat; this has been a long time coming. The next 10 minutes evaporate into the ether. I’m so focused on savoring every morsel of charred, chewy, crusty, sweet, salty, smoky, succulent meat that my surroundings blur until I’m in a full-blown dissociative fugue. It’s cliché, but I get it: This is what people mean when they talk transcendent barbecue. When I come up for air, I notice an aproned guy clearing tables. “How was it?” he asks a portly fellow, who mumbles a jovial, if sarcastic, reply. “Well, one of these days I’ll get it right.” Turns out, this staffer with the soft Southern drawl, “the only busboy who notices when the floors need sweeping,” is owner and pitmaster Tyler Frazer. In 2010, after spending five years touring the country with Mrs. Baird’s Ultimate Smoker and Grill — the largest mobile apparatus of its kind, catering upward of 100 football tailgates, corporate parties, and food festivals annually — Frazer, now 47, opened Tyler’s in a former Long John Silver’s. He focuses on brisket and ribs, plus four kinds of sausage, pulled pork, chicken, and a slew of fixins’, all lovingly prepared from

No v e m b e r 13 - No v e m b e r 19, 20 14

scratch. (Being in the less congested Texas Panhandle, the drive-thru has been a boon to business.) Frazer only cooks what he can sell daily — “probably 25-30 briskets and anywhere from 48-60 racks of ribs,” on average — and inevitably posts his cardboard “sold out” sign well before closing at 7:30 p.m. Regulars grumbled at first, but they came to understand. “I keep a log so I don’t overcook,” Frazer says. “That’s the key to having a great experience: You’re not having yesterday’s barbecue.” By 2012, Tyler’s Barbeque had landed on the cover of Amarillo Magazine as the city’s best barbecue; in June 2013, it made Texas Monthly’s Top 50 list. Frazer attributes his swift success to methodical research and a fastidious respect for numbers, honed during his former career as a consumables buyer for a major retailer, purchasing $126 million of goods per year. It’s an art, too, but how unique can one man’s barbecue be? “Down in the Hill Country — Franklin Barbecue, Killen’s BBQ, Lockhart Smokehouse — they all use post oak,” Frazer explains. “Barbecue is regional. If you look at a U.S. map, woods and styles change. That goes back to the pioneers, before refrigeration: They used the wood they couldn’t build anything out of. In the Deep South they use hickory and pork. In Texas we use oak, mesquite, pecan, or hickory, and a

variation of meats with beef included at every place. Our grandparents and great-grandparents ate with regional palates. What we grew up with is our BBQ standard.” An Amarillo native, Frazer uses indigenous mesquite. The trees are smaller here at 3,600 feet above sea level, and easier to burn. “There’s not a time and temperature rule where you say X amount of pounds equals X amount of time,” Frazer continues. “It changes with the weather. That’s one of the things I learned from Trace [Arnold, “The Rib Whisperer”] on the Ultimate Smoker and Grill tour, from Houston to Kansas City to Seattle to Portland: the ways altitude and air pressure (affect cooking). Just like bakin’ bread — there’s some artistry to it.” How does Frazer respond to being calling a ’becue God? “I laugh,” he says, “because I’m more like a deacon or a minister of the great church of BBQ.” Outside in the sun, I relish my luck. Mission: Texas Barbecue has been a success, after all! I set off toward Colorado with a full belly and a heavy heart. Only a nine-hour drive, I think. I’ll drive nine hours for Tyler’s…

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

Will Phog, a baby mastiff, turn the author into a puppy owner? Time will tell.

I DREAM OF PUPPY

SLIDING DOWN THE SLIPPERY SLOPE TO PARENTHOOD ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, I acquired a Beta fish from a good friend who no longer wished to care for it. Adopting a fish was a big step for me. So big that I wrote a column about it called “The Slippery Slope to Parenthood.” To my surprise, and many others, the fish is still alive today. I’m not sure if it’s due to my naturally maternal BARBARA instincts or my PLATTS nurturing personality... actually I’m sure that it most certainly is not due to either of those things. It’s a freakin’ miracle that fish is still waving its fins. She/he is one tough cookie. Despite my sub-par parenting skills, my older brother and his wife found my boyfriend and I suitable enough to watch their 6-month-old, 140-pound (and still growing) baby mastiff for a whole weekend in Denver while they were out of the state. My brother and sister-in-law do not have any human babies yet, so their pup is held in the same tier as an infant would be. She has a strict diet, scheduled exercise times, a collection of verbal commands to follow and a need for heaps of

attention (as most puppies do). Beaming with pride due to the responsibility bequeathed upon us, we left my fish behind and headed down to the Mile High City. The baby mastiff (pictured above) is named Phog. She has a beautiful brindle coat, large, saliva-coated lips and droopy eyes that are constantly transfixed by something new. Unlike many dogs in Aspen, she does not need long aerobic workouts. Her cumbersome physique doesn’t allow for much speed or intensity. Instead, it welcomes leisurely strolls, making her the

perfect city pup. We had a wonderful weekend with Phog, filled with copious amounts of treat giving, number two discharges, loads of cuddling and one, slightly alarming pregnancy scare. We returned the hefty lady to her parents on Sunday, feeling proud and very grown up. Maybe it was only two days of puppy-sitting, but last weekend instilled a new confidence in me. A confidence that screams, “Screw the fish…get a dog!” Perhaps that confidence is falsely inflated, but it’s so overwhelming that I’ve been

checking on the Aspen Animal Shelter’s Facebook page daily and have even contacted some out of state breeders. I realize that adopting a puppy is a large and difficult commitment. I also realize that this overwhelming desire could compare to a foolish infatuation. Similar to the time I saw the Backstreet Boys in concert when I was 9 or when I witnessed Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribbean” at age 13. Some infatuations are unrealistic and should remain that way. But, with the rampant pro-dog scene in Aspen, I’m not sure my puppy fantasies will be able to remain solely in my head for long. So will I be getting a puppy soon? Only time will tell. That and my lack of self-control and the impression I give to the dog breeders I’ve been incessantly emailing for days now

Barbara Platts has not yet taken the plunge into dog ownership. But, if and when she does, you’ll be reading about it here. Contact her at bplatts.000@gmail.com or follower her on Twitter @BarbaraPlatts.

POLITICS ASIDE... WHAT THE NEWLY ELECTED REALLY THINK

compiled by JEANNE MCGOVERN

Home around 10 p.m., watched for results until 11:15 and then said “good night” to the world! Of course, several phone calls came in from the media, which I chose not to answer. I was exhausted. I finally decided to turn my phone off around midnight! I knew that I was in the lead and decided………I’ll check this out in the a.m. Up at 6 a.m. and saw the results! No celebration at that time…..I needed to get to work! Now off to Costa Rica with Jerry and our friends the Turner’s! We will celebrate!

MARKEY BUTLER incoming Mayor of Snowmass Village How did you celebrate your victory (where, with who, what was your celebratory cocktail, etc.)? I started the evening at Base Camp with a glass of wonderful Chardonnay! Thanks guys! Arnie Mordkin, Bill Boineau, Bob Sirkus, along with many supporters who endorsed me and many of our residents of Snowmass Village. Oops….The media! With no results by 9 p.m., we all took a “fresh breath” and said……let’s head out and go home! Next stop….Bob Sirkus’ dessert party again with Bob, his wife Adriane and friends. Great cup of coffee and chocolate chip cookie was enjoyed by me as we continued to wait for results!

Now that the politicking is over, which campaign promise are you most likely to break? Running a marathon with 25 year-olds! Which one do you swear will come true? Having fun at council meetings! Looking into your crystal ball, what local issue — big or small will make the most headlines in the coming years? • Base Village sees cranes AGAIN! Time to get this project DONE! • Multi-purpose facility at the Entryway is dedicated featuring the rodeo, ice rink, Willie Nelson concert and many country western stars! • Center for Discovery/Performing Arts finally opens in Base Village! • TOSV finally announces a planned program for Aging in Place!

SO ... THE ELECTION IS OVER, the winners are chosen and the future is set. Or is it? Politics aside, “Election: 2014” rocked the boat in lot of ways. But, at the end of the day, we in the Roaring Fork Valley are left with a new mayor of Snowmass, two new Snowmass Town Councilmen, a new Pitkin County Commissioner and an incumbent State House Rep. to lead us into the future. So, because we are sick of the campaign rhetoric, we decided to ask the winning candidate a few “fun” questions about what lies ahead. In their own words ...

Will you be in the headlines? Yes…making bold statements about Core Values of Town Leadership, programs and projects. What are you most looking forward to about your new job; what do you dread the most? Bringing our Village together is my most important job! This means Council, the community, our business owners, Developers, and Skico. Will be FUN! Dread? Long Council meetings! Council packets that have multiple architectural drawings that are hard to read! And lastly, having to use my gavel when folks are not respectful to one another. Anything else you’d like to add about your upcoming stint as a public figure? Favorite part…… I love holding babies! I love talking and caring for our elderly citizens! And meeting many in our community who I don’t know!

BLUE VS. RED While much of the U.S. turned a shade redder on Election Day, Pitkin County’s liberal stripes certainly were on display. From the U.S. Senate election down to the Pitkin County race for District 1 commissioner, Aspenarea voters leaned left in casting their ballots. In some of those contests, Pitkin County was on the losing end. Voters casts their ballots in favor of Democrats Sen. Mark Udall (69.8 percent), U.S. Congress challenger Abel Tapia (60.5 percent), secretary of state candidate Joe Neguse (64.6 percent), state treasurer candidate Betsy Markey (63.8 percent) and Don Quick (63.6 percent) for attorney general. Those five lost their election bids. Pitkin County also was out of step with Colorado on Proposition 105, the ballot measure requiring labeling of genetically modified food products. With 94 percent of the state tallies in, 66.3 percent of Colorado voters rejected the measure; in Pitkin County, 62.5 percent of the electorate favored the labeling. Yet Pitkin County voters were in line with the rest of the state in the gubernatorial race, picking incumbent Democrat John Hickenlooper (71.8 percent) as well as Kerry Donovan (66.6 percent) for District 5 of the state Senate and Millie Hamner (67.5 percent) for District 61 in the state House. The county also mirrored the state on Amendment 68, which would have allowed casinostyle gambling at horse tracks in Arapahoe, Mesa and Pueblo counties. In Pitkin County, 63 percent voted against the measure; statewide, 71 percent opposed it. Pitkin County’s strong liberal base, noted former Aspen Mayor Mick Ireland, a student of local and state politics, is nothing new. But getting Democrats out to vote — unofficial tallies show 7,452 of Pitkin County’s 15,461 registered voters cast ballots in the election — was key, he said. “We worked pretty hard to get people out to vote,” he said. “That’s the big difference. We make lists; we call people; we visit their doors; we do direct mail. We do everything we can to encourage everybody to vote.”

BILL MADSEN incoming Snowmass Village Town Councilman How did you celebrate your victory (where, with who, what was your celebratory cocktail, etc.)? We invited friends to our home for an Italian dinner. It was a fun night and a great opportunity to thank our friends for supporting me throughout the election process (photo attached). Now that the politicking is over, which campaign promise are you most likely to break? Which one do you swear will come true? I don’t plan on breaking any promises. I plan on working hard to help Snowmass evolve with an amazing Ice Age Discovery Center, a great entry way and a base village that the community will support.

BOB SIRKUS

BOB SIRKUS incoming Snowmass Village Town Councilman How did you celebrate your victory (where, with who, what was your celebratory cocktail, etc.)? Adriane and I started the evening with a burger and beer at Slice thanks to Scott Calliham. Lots of folks were there getting ready for the results. Arnie Mordkin, Markey Butler and Bill Boineau were there also. Around 6:30 we headed home to prepare for our election eve wine and cheese and coffee and dessert party. My friends and supporters came over around 7:30 and we waited for the first round of results expected around 8. When those results were released, we were very happy. Soon thereafter we cut the celebratory cake we had for the evening. I had hoped for a second update before going to bed but it was not to be. I did get a call around 12:30 am with some info from the media that put me in second place but since two of us would be elected I just rolled over and went back to sleep. I confirmed the next morning that I had received the most votes of the three council candidates and felt honored by the voters of Snowmass. Adriane and I went to Boulder early Wed. morning to visit our son and grandchildren. Our son Adam surprised us with a victory party Wednesday night. I had a great time partying with Adriane, Adam and our grandchildren ages 5, 8 and 10.

Looking into your crystal ball, what local issue — big or small — will make the most headlines in the coming years? Will you be in the headlines? The base village will surely dominate the headlines in Snowmass. I plan to be part of the team that will help the developer and the community through the process.

Now that the politicking is over, which campaign promise are you most likely to break? “I’ll be home for dinner on Council nights Adriane.” Which one do you swear will come true? My vow to start fresh with Councilman Jacobson who extended an olive branch by congratulating me on Wed. Looking into your crystal ball, what local issue — big or small will make the most headlines in the coming years? The increase in the economy that Snowmass Village will get by completing the Viceroy, Limelight and fractional ownership buildings. Will you be in the headlines? My desire is for the entire Council to be in the headlines for our teamwork and ability to compromise to find the right solutions for Snowmass Village. What are you most looking forward to about your new job; what do you dread the most? Continuing to build on relationships with Snowmass Village residents that started during the campaign and working with my fellow Council members. Long meetings and late nights.

BILL MADSEN

What are you most looking forward to about your new job; what do you dread the most? I look forward to working with the town staff and representing the Snowmass community. I am not dreading anything yet, but check back next year.

NOTEWORTHY PATTI CLAPPER incoming Pitkin County Commissioner

Pitkin County Ballot question 1B (citizen board term limits) * Yes No

How did you celebrate your victory (where, with who, what was your celebratory cocktail, etc.)? I celebrated my victory at El Rincon with my family and with many friends and supporters. My “celebratory cocktail” was a victory soda with a “twist”! Now that the politicking is over, which campaign promise are you most likely to break? Which one do you swear will come true? “Politicking” is never really over…but thank God the campaign is! As for “campaign promises”…I did not make any. What I did was to say what I would work on when elected…and I intend to do just that… to work and to work really hard not only on the things I said I would work on but also on all of the (other) things that Pitkin County needs the Board of County Commissioners to work on! Looking into your crystal ball, what local issue – big or small — will make the most headlines in the coming years? The biggest “local issue” will be the airport. And as a member of the Pitkin County BOCC…of course

Ballot question 1C (conflict of interest) Yes * No

PATTI CLAPPER

Referendum 2B (term limits) * Yes No

Will you be in the headlines? I will be at one time or another…for issues big or small…in the “headlines”. What are you most looking forward to about your new job; what do you dread the most? I most look forward to working for the people… full/part-time residents and visitors/guests…of Pitkin County. If anything I “dread” is not being able to do what needs to, what should, and what the people want to be done for/in Pitkin County. Anything else you’d like to add about your upcoming stint as a public figure? This was a long campaign and not always an easy one. I truly want to thank the voters for supporting me. I also want to thank my family and friends for hanging in there with me. And since I made no campaign promises…I will make one now…I promise to do my best and to make “you all” proud.

How did you celebrate your victory (where, with who, what was your celebratory cocktail, etc.)? Because of the delay in getting election results, I didn’t declare victory until Wednesday so there wasn’t much celebrating to do on election night. Now that the politicking is over, which campaign promise are you most likely to break? Which one do you swear will come true? I don’t make promises that I don’t intend to keep. . .however, I did promise myself that I’d get more skiing in this winter. Knowing how busy I’ll be in Denver I doubt I’ll be able to keep that one!

DESTINATION | ROARING FORK VALLEY

by MORGAN SMITH

NEXT STEPS FOR THE ROARING FORK IT WAS A RAINY, end-of-summer day when we drove into Aspen in August, 1949, our last stop before continuing home to New York after a summer on a ranch in Wyoming. Why my father picked Aspen I have no idea. For me, however, being anywhere in the West was a miracle. The next morning, my father sent us horseback riding with Jack Ray who had a stable near the base of Little Nell. He then disappeared for the haircut that would change our lives. Aspen’s only realtor, Jim Moore, was also the town’s only barber and had a barber’s chair in a corner of Tompkins Hardware. In the midst of this haircut, a woman named Theresa Barrailler appeared and began to talk to Moore about selling her ranch. When the haircut was over, my father gave her a ride home — she had walked to town. By the time he returned to the Hotel Jerome where we were staying, he had decided to buy her ranch. For my mother, the idea of uprooting her life in New York to move to tiny Aspen was a huge jolt. My parents were well-established Easterners with many friends and relatives there; in addition my father had a rising career with Pan American Airways. My father had a love for the land, however. Driving out West earlier that summer, he had stopped at Malabar Farm in Ohio to talk with Louis Bromfield, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and conservationist. He was also the great-grandson of J. Sterling Morton, the founder of Arbor Day and would later plant hundreds of trees at North Star. Whatever he was thinking as he listened to Mrs. Barrailler talk of her ranch, for us kids the idea of moving to Aspen was a dream come true.

What we bought in 1949 and then conveyed to the Nature Conservancy in 1977 in a sale/donation was land. Looking back, however, I realize that water was what made this such a unique experience for us and now for the Aspen community. In one form or another, it dominated our lives there and made for an extraordinary childhood. Shortly after we moved onto the ranch in 1950, we found surveyor’s flags on the hillsides on both sides of the ranch. To our astonishment, we learned that the valley had been surveyed for the purposes of constructing a 28,000-acrefoot reservoir as part of the proposed Frying Pan-Arkansas diversion project. Together with William C. Stapleton, County Commissioner Orest Gerbaz and others, my father worked relentlessly with then-Congressman Wayne Aspinall — possibly the most powerful Congressman in Colorado history but someone who was not a fan of Aspen and vice versa — and eventually the site was shifted to Ruedi, avoiding what would have been an environmental disaster for Aspen. Starting at age 11, I had a variety of jobs, most of which involved water. The first was to keep a beaver dam cleared so that the field above it could drain better and we would have more land on which to produce hay. We knew that we could never emulate the Barraillers who largely supported themselves off this ranch but my father believed that the land should be as productive as possible. Anyway, he offered to pay me one dollar a week, which I thought was a good deal for just tearing out a beaver dam. Little did I know that the beavers simply would rebuild it every night.

I was also in charge of three irrigation ditches that had been built by the Barraillers, two short ones on the south side of the valley and a much longer one on the north side that brought water to their farm buildings. In a recent article about North Star, Paul Andersen referred to Theresa Barrailler as a “notorious bootlegger” based on anonymous comments in the beautiful book, “Aspen, The Quiet Years.” The woman we knew during the summer of 1950 was quite different and these ditches were an example. Building them was an accomplishment that would have been extraordinary even today but even more so for her, considering their lack of equipment and money. Together with her husband, Emery, who “wasn’t a fireball” and his brother, Alex, “the town clown,” she largely survived off that ranch, a feat that almost none of the more than 2 million American farmers today can claim. And she was always there for us that summer when we needed help. One of my regrets today is that we completely lost touch with her after she left the ranch. Apparently she died at age 97 in Jefferson, Colorado, in Park County. We also made many water-related mistakes. Thinking that the peaked roofs on local barns were a waste of space, my father built one with a nearflat roof. The first snowfall crushed it. Believing that the mowed hay drying in local hayfields looked too brown, our first hay stack was much greener. We learned the hard way that green, wet hay in a stack is subject to internal combustion. On the south side of the ranch, there was a swamp ( I don’t think that

the term “wetlands” existed then). surrounded by swamp grass that the cattle wouldn’t eat. My father thought that we could drain the swamp and replace it with hay. That led to a titanic struggle to dig a ditch, get the water to drain into the Roaring Fork, cut the swamp grass with our mower and replace it. I can’t count the number of times we got stuck; the Barraillers would appear with their team of horses to pull our vehicles out of the muck. The heart of North Star, however, was always the Roaring Fork itself, the river that so many are enjoying now. For us, it was a river you could drink out of, swim in and bathe your horses in. It was a river that, on rare occasions, could be deadly; I almost died twice in huge spring floods. It was a river that could even be used for transportation. Years ago, our largely-absent neighbor wouldn’t help us repair the broken down fences between our properties so Medill Barnes, Ted Armstrong and I took our tractor up to his place, pulled some 40 of his fence posts out of the ground with the tractor’s front-end loader and threw them in the river, assuming that they would just float down to the boundary. Unfortunately they repeatedly jammed up against the river bank and we had to wade or swim along for hours, nudging them free. Most important, it was the simple existence of this river with its calming beauty that was so magical. I hope that this is what today’s many rafters are experiencing and that they will treat it with the reverence we felt. Is that possible, however, with 100 or more people floating through on summer days, numbers we never dreamed of at the time of the conveyance almost 40 years ago? If that experience can give them even a fraction of the love and appreciation I have for Roaring Fork, it will be worth it. If not, the Aspen community will have to rethink the current management system. Former Aspenite Morgan Smith was part of the conveyance of North Star to the Nature Conservancy. He served in the Colorado House of Representatives, as Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture and Director of the Colorado International Trade Office. Now living in Santa Fe, New Mexico, he can be reached at Morgan-smith@ comcast.net.

Will the youngsters who float down the Roaring Fork River realize its magic? Those who worked the land before it was a summer destination hope so.

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

by NANCY GENSCH

GUESTS FROM GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN Mary Eshbaugh Hayes handed her column over to friend Nancy Gensch this week. Mary returns next week. GARMISCH-PARTENKRICHEN, Aspen’s very first Sister City, was the adult home of the composer Richard Strauss. Each year in June, the Richard Strauss Institute in Garmisch presents an annual festival celebrating the Strauss’ birthday. This year, in honor of Strauss’ 150th birth anniversary, the Aspen Music Festival also featured Richard Strauss’s compositions, and we extended an invitation to Garmisch. An elite group came from Garmisch to attend the Aspen Music Festival, as Richard Strauss was also remembered here with some of the best of his compositions. In attendance were the newly elected Mayor of GarmischPartenkirchen, Dr. Sigrid Meierhofer, and her husband, Dr. Johann Meierhofer; the director of the Richard Strauss Institute, Dr. Christian Wolf, and his wife, Dr. Pia Wolf, along with their two sons — Lukas and Fabian (Fabian is living with Jim and Sarah Korpela this year as an exchange student at Aspen High School); and Trudi Vogt, chairwoman of the Aspen Sister City Committee in Garmisch. The festive week opened with a reception at the Aspen Square on July 30, followed by tours to Aspen Mountain, to the Aspen Music School campus, to Maroon Bells, through Aspen’s historic West End, and by attendance at many fabulous concerts in the Tent and in Harris Hall. In 2016, Aspen and GarmischPartenkirchen will mark 50 years of Sister City relationship with a grand celebration in Garmisch. This connection, begun in 1966 under Mayor Bugsy Barnard and with the support of David Stapleton, Werner Kuster, and Gretl Uhl, is a viable part of Aspen’s history. Aspen’s participation in the International Sister City Organization was birthed by Uhl, a Garmisch-Partenkirchen native. Our Sister City relationships have been supported by many public and private citizens, and expanded to include other cities on various continents. In addition to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Aspen’s Sister Cities now are Chamonix, France; Shimukappu, Japan; Queenstown, New Zealand; Bariloche, Argentina; and joining in early summer 2015, Abetone, Italy.

CLIFFORD IRVING’S PAPERS, AT HOME IN TEXAS A TROVE OF MATERIAL from Clifford Irving — the notorious novelist, journalist and longtime Roaring Fork Valley resident — was recently acquired by the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas. The collection of papers opened to the public in October, and is likely to bring the eyes of students and scholars to study the life and work of this singular literary figure in years to come. “Having been processed by archival staff at the Briscoe Center, I’m hopeful that the imposition of some order will help make sense out of what often seems to me a chaotic, disordered and amoral life,” said Irving. “It’s not for me to say what students can learn from such a tale. It’s for them to say and for me to learn. ‘Ancora imparo,’ as Michelangelo said.” Irving, 84, is best known as the author of an elaborately faked Howard Hughes autobiography,

a transgression that brought the reclusive Hughes into public to fight Irving and led to Irving’s conviction for fraud. The first facility in which he was housed during a 17-month federal prison stint then kicked him out for smuggling a pint of vodka inside. The archive includes material from more than 50 years, running from 1954 to 2012. Among the trove is his correspondence with lawyers, publishers and colleagues, his personal diaries and prison journals, legal documents from lawsuits and from his 1972 bankruptcy, portions of his Howard Hughes manuscript and other drafts and notes. It also has curiosities like childhood drawings, Irving’s school report cards and family photographs. In all, it fills 20 boxes in the research center archive. “Clifford Irving is an important writer who has lived a colorful and controversial life, which has been a major source of inspiration for much of his literary work,” said Don

Carleton, executive director at the Briscoe Center. “I’m delighted that his papers are now available to enrich scholarship here at the university.” Though most well known for the Hughes hoax and his 1981 after-thefact account “The Hoax” (which loosely inspired the Richard Gere film of the same name), Irving has published more than 20 books, dating back to 1956’s “On a Darkling Plain” and continuing through 2012’s “Bloomberg Discovers America.” A graduate of Cornell University, he worked at the New York Times in the early 1950s, and as a Middle East correspondent for NBC in the early 1960s. His 1968 biography of the art forger Elmyr de Hory — “Fake!” — inspired Orson Welles’ 1973 documentary “F for Fake.” At the Briscoe Center, Irving’s archive joins a research collection that also includes the papers of Texas legend Stephen F. Austin, journalist Walter Cronkite and blues

musician Leadbelly. The research center sought Irving’s papers because of his life’s historic reach. “It’s a fascinating story that needs to be told again, and that speaks to a variety of subjects,” said Benjamin Wright, a spokesman for the Briscoe Center. “It touches on history, literature, art, morals, law — so we were very much interested in the archive.” atravers@aspentimes.com

BOOK REVIEW

‘THE SPIRIT BIRD’ “THE HOTEL GLITTER,” one of 14 stories in Kent Nelson’s powerful new collection, should be required reading for anyone living in a resort community. It’s a story about Eva, a single mother from Mexico, living in Montrose and commuting 90 minutes a day before dawn — with other immigrants — to work in a hotel spa in Mountain Village, the glitzy ski destination above Telluride.
