Don’t Let Hip or Knee pain Keep You Down What do these locals and dozens of others have in common? They were all living with the debilitating effects of a degenerative hip or knee. Pain was causing them to miss out on doing the things they loved, and they decided to do something about it. They all had joint implant surgery with the advanced MAKOplasty® system, meaning recovery time was decreased. Now they’re up, not down. Up for skiing, hiking, horseback riding, and everything else they’d been missing.

Ask how MAKOplasty® can relieve your hip and knee pain. Call 970.925.4141

MAKOplasty ® is powered by the surgeon-controlled RIO® robotic arm system enabling advanced treatment options for more accurate hip and knee implant placement.

Individual results may vary. There are risks associated with any hip or knee surgical procedures, including MAKOplasty.® Your doctor can explain these risks and help determine if MAKOplasty ® is right for you.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with STEWART OKSENHORN

THEATER ONE THING THAT continues to amaze about Aspen Community Theatre is how much effort is put in for such a short-term pay-off. Planning starts a year or more ahead of time. Rehearsals go on for months, and are intensive. As community theater goes, the sets and costumes are lavish. And then the show is over in a blur, playing for eight dates over less than two weeks. Like most of ACT’s productions, the current one, “The Producers,” deserves a longer life, somewhere. Mel Brooks’ offbeat musical of a Broadway schemer and a meek accountant trying to make a fortune by staging the most hideously offensive show ever is in good hands here. Bob Moore and Corey Simpson are excellent in the leading roles of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, and display the chemistry that is the heart of the story. The production values, from the ambitious costuming to the extensive tap-dancing to the set design, are impressive. And the take on the centerpiece musical number, “Springtime for Hitler,” is fabulously over the top; you don’t want it to end. The same can be said for the show as a whole.

Alas, the final dates are Thursday through Sunday, Nov. 14-17, at the Aspen District Theatre.

CURRENTEVENTS VISUAL ARTS Author and part-time Aspenite James Salter opens the Aspen Writers’ Foundation’s Winter Words series with an appearance on Nov. 30 at Paepcke Auditorium.

WRITTEN WORD “There Will Be ________/

CONTEMPORARY ART CAN Greystone,” single-channel HD video, sound, by Kerry Tribe, is part often seem a mystery, maybe even of the group exhibition Trapping purposefully so. With its group Lions in the Scottish Highlands, showing at the Aspen Art Museum. exhibition Trapping Lions in the Scottish Highlands, the Aspen Art Museum introduces another level of mystery into the mix.

The show’s title is taken from an Alfred Hitchcock quote, and the theme ties in well with Hitchcock’s work. Trapping Lions addresses the idea of narrative tension: viewers might search for clues to the larger story suggested by the visual art; they might also wonder about the reliability of the storyteller, or even the existence of an actual story. The exhibition begins Friday, Nov. 15 (though the opening reception is not until Dec. 19). Also opening this week is a show of Holt Quentel’s modified Charles Eames chair designs, which Quentel first introduced 23 years ago.

THE ASPEN WRITERS’ FOUNDATION’S Winter Words series doesn’t begin for a few weeks, and doesn’t really get cranked up till late January. But the program has been announced, meaning that serious readers will want to get reading.

Winter Words kicks off Nov. 30 with James Salter, the part-time Aspenite whose first novel in more than 30 years, “All That Is,” was published earlier this year and was eagerly received. Also on the reading list: the poetic memoir “For all of Us, One Today,”

by Richard Blanco (coming to Aspen on Jan. 28); the memoirs “The Reenactments,” by Nick Flynn, and “Still Writing,” by Dani Shapiro (who appear together on Feb. 8); the novels “The Unruly Passions of Eugénie R.,” by Carol DeSanti, and “We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves,” by Karen Joy Fowler (appearing together Feb. 25); the Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Black Count,” a biography of General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, who served as the inspiration for “The Count of Monte Christo,” by Tom Reiss (March 19); and the satiric novel “Where’d You Go Bernadette,” by former Aspenite Maria Semple (March 31).

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with FORREST WHITMAN

Not all endangered species live in the forest “YOU’RE READING a book about a grizzly bear with blood all over the cover?” That was the comment from one of my regular, and favorite, restaurant servers. I explained that I was reading “Old Mose” by James Perkins, a story about a huge and destructive grizzly that lived in the Old West. She perked up because, like most Westerners, she loves these old bear myths.

This particular bear story supposedly ended in 1904, when Wharton Pigg, a man who dedicated his life to killing Old Mose, went hunting with James Anthony, and Anthony shot the bear.

But the book I was reading says it happened otherwise. The bear Pigg was forever pursuing was actually a grizzly sow. Anthony shot a different bear, though a darn big one.

The truth about Old Mose is different in a lot of ways from the legends that sprang up around him. He was blamed for going on rampages and killing thousands of cattle. The little colony of grizzles around Black Mountain was then doomed to be hunted to extinction.

It was physically impossible for one grizzly to commit the many crimes Westerners blamed on the bear. No bear ever killed a thousand cattle. That’s contrary to grizzly behavior anyway.

Mostly the big bears eat roots, berries and dead animals. It’s rare for them to take down a living animal.

Mose was also said to have killed a man, Jacob Ratliff, in 1883. Ratliff was killed by a bear, but he said it was a cinnamon bear, and Old Mose was a darker color.

In any case, my restaurant server won’t have time to read the book. She says she tries to eke out time to read with her young child, but that’s about it.

Then she said something that stuck with me: “So, this bear was endangered — kind of like us restaurant workers.”

She’s dead right about being endangered. She barely gets along on the tough side of economic life, though she seems happy and is darn funny. Hers is a typical, small-town Western story.

She did well in high school and then went to work in the ski and restaurant industry, putting off college. But she never got around to going to college, and then her child came along. Now she has “two and a half jobs.”

The small towns of the West depend

on service workers just like her. And if you work at most restaurants, even chains like Olive Garden, Red Lobster and others, you’re likely getting around $4 or $6 an hour and hoping for tips.

The minimum wage for tipped workers is $2.13 an hour, believe it or not. Most of my buddies and I help out if we can by tipping 20 percent, but that’s no solution.

My server acquaintance agrees that we all need to “get political” to help out endangered workers. But where would she find the time for that? She is well aware that she depends on government programs for survival. The federal Women, Infants and Children program, or WIC, helped out after her child was born. These days, she relies on the hot-lunch program at school, where her kid actually likes the food, thank heavens. Food stamps are a huge help, too, she says. But as she well knows, all of those programs are on the chopping block in Washington. Blame that on the Tea Party Republicans, along with the odd reactionary Democrats and the scaredy-cats of both parties. The bottom line: This young worker’s survival is as much at risk as the old bears were, and she may be as endangered as today’s remnant bruins are.

What happened to the grizzlies is no mystery: Their food source disappeared.

That occurred when ranchers started grazing cattle in the high meadows.

Bears, wolves — all kinds of predators — were shot or poisoned. What’s happening to our Western servers is no mystery, either. They are being squeezed hard right now by increasing rents and food costs. Legislative help is unlikely. Attempts to raise the wage for tipped workers run up against powerful restaurateur interests. The programs my friend depends on shrink each year.

But any help here in the small-town West is going to have to come from my side of the lunch counter. We need to get busy and elect politicians who understand what it’s like to be endangered, both for critters and for people like my server and her kid.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

The original number two lift passed through a quiet mountain section between Midway and Tourtolotte Park.

A CHILDHOOD PLEASURE: SKIING ALONE I STARTED SKIING the year the number three lift was built, 1953.

My aunt skied with me on Little Nell for part of the season, and then I was on my own.

The lift operators (friends of my parents) knew me and there were few other skiers; accounting for the almost-6-year-old kid in the bright red sweater kept them from falling asleep. I walked two blocks to my house to eat lunch, or whenever I was cold or too tired to hang onto the treacherous T-bar.

Early in grade school I graduated from Little Nell to ski the rest of the mountain. At first my older sister looked after me, but soon I was on my own again. Mostly I skied from lift three. My only mishaps occurred when my short legs didn’t properly align my bottom on the chair and the lift catapulted me into a pile of powder. Crawling out of deep snow took a while; erasing the embarrassment of having the lift line see me miss the chair took longer.

In my childish way of looking at things, I was a master of the mountain. In the days before grooming, a tiny tot on short skis held advantage in the moguls; I dashed down Dipsy Doodle’s icy humps in

ways adults couldn’t imagine. I logged so many hours on the mountain that I memorized every inch of the main runs — once in a blinding snowstorm, I stopped part-way down an upper section to discover that a dozen adults were following my lead down from

(a single chair lift that ran from Midway to the Sundeck): the area between Midway and Tourtolotte Park. Passing through that section alone, almost always in the shadow where it was colder, my senses heightened, especially when it

FOR A WHOLE WINTER I REMAINED ON THE LOOKOUT, CERTAIN THAT ASPEN’S SNOW-CLAD MOUNTAINS WERE HOME TO THE FEARSOME CREATURES: THE TREE SECTION ALONG THE NUMBER TWO LIFT WAS THE MOST LIKELY PLACE. I KNEW A YETI WAS HIDING THERE, AND FELT CONFIDENT ONE WOULD DEFINITELY SHOW HIS FACE IN A BLINDING SNOWSTORM. the Sundeck.

Everyone can recall a special place from childhood where they found inner peace: a place where, as adults with eyes closed, they can return in their minds to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells. For me, that place is a section of the old number two

was snowing. It was there that an occasional ermine excited my interest.

And I saw a Yeti.

The movie “The Abominable Snowman” came out in 1957 and I won’t say I had nightmares after seeing it, but I did dream of dangerous Yeti encounters. For a

whole winter I remained on the lookout, certain that Aspen’s snowclad mountains were home to the fearsome creatures: the tree section along the number two lift was the most likely place. I knew one was hiding there, and felt confident one would definitely show his face in a blinding snowstorm.

I stand by my story to this day. I saw a Yeti. Sure, recent DNA testing indicates the reported beasts may simply have been a form of ancient polar bear. Right…I know the real reason no child has seen a Yeti since I did: these days adults accompany them on the chairlifts and, like Puff The Magic Dragon, Yeti know better than to reveal themselves to skeptics on skis.

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.

“ADS IN ASPEN TIMES make news story in magazine,” boasted an article in The Aspen Times on Nov. 14, 1957. “Ads in the Aspen Times get around it was demonstrated last week when National Skiing, a national ski magazine published in Denver, printed a news story about a series of local ads. ‘Aspen skiers are being tantalized of late by a series of ads appearing in the weekly Aspen Times’, the story began. ‘Placed by Bert Bidwell, canny operator of the Mountain Shop, the ads contain only six words: SOON… Sputniks at the Mountain Shop. No explanation, no hint of what ‘Sputniks’ really are. A wave of speculation has swept Aspen, surmising that ‘sputniks’ are everything from supersonic skis to a new type of rocket-operated ski lift… The editors of Skiing promise to reveal the true nature of Sputnik as soon as the Mountain Shop takes the wraps off its newest item of merchandise’. In this issue of The Aspen Times Bidwell reveals that his sputniks are not supersonic skis or rocket powered sleds but estron-lined cold-weather canvas shoes and if the editors of Skiing are true to their word skiers in the rest of the country will know what Sputniks are next week.”

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

FIREBALL, ON FIRE Like a Red Hot candy? I do. So it’s no surprise I’ve jumped on the Fireball Whisky bandwagon. And with the slogan, “Tastes Like Heaven, Burns Like Hell,” why wouldn’t anyone give it try, right? Honestly, though, this cinnamon whisky spirit seems to have it all going on — you can drink it as shot (and it comes in convenient shot-sized bottles); you can pour it in your coffee for a morning kick; you can put it in your eggnog for a holiday treat; you can cook with it (yes, I found a recipe for apple pie that calls for a few tablespoons of Fireball); and you can create all sorts of yummy — and funny-sounding (Hot Flash, Flamin’ Beaver, Wake N Bake) — cocktails with this increasingly popular liquor. Here’s to a little heat this winter!

Gunilla Asher is taking a break from the bar scene, so we’re turning this page over to you. Email jmcgovern@aspentimes. com with what cocktails you’re mixing, what libations you’re drinking, what tastes have tempted your tastebuds and we’ll share them with our readers. Cheers!

MAKE IT FIREBALL PIE 1 ounce Fireball Whisky ½ ounce vanilla vodka ½ ounce apple pie liqueur 2 ounces ginger ale Fill a shaker with ice and add the Fireball Whisky, vanilla vodka and apple pie liqueur. Shake well and strain into a glass filled with ice.

Add the ginger ale, mix and serve.

WINEINK

WORDS to DRINK BY

PLUMP IT UP:

PLUMPJACK GROUP LEAPS INTO STAG’S LEAP WITH ODETTE ESTATE WINERY “WANT TO TRY something good?” It was a question John Conover, general manager of the PlumpJack Group’s Napa Valley wineries, has asked a number of times in the past. I knew enough to answer in the affirmative.

As we stood, surrounded by French oak barrels in the freshly excavated cave below the recently christened Odette Estate winery, I nodded and offered a glass to Jeff Owens, the young winemaker in charge at this, PlumpJack’s third Napa winery. He KELLY J. HAYES extracted some juice from the barrel and said with understatement as he released it into my glass, “Here’s the 2012 Reserve Cab; we think it’s tasting pretty good.”

The wine, still months from release, was extraordinary. The fruit, from a vintage which may well be the one “they” talk about years after I am gone, was filled with the flavors of cherries, black currants and a touch of earth. But what made it so compelling was the way it felt in the mouth. Powerful yet silky; smooth, but with evolving tannins complementing rather than obscuring the experience. All this from a first release wine in its literal infancy.

Clearly the next phase of PlumpJack’s wine adventure, built on a solid triangle of outstanding terroir, a great young winemaker and a stateof-the-art, LEED-certified winery, has the potential to become one of this century’s epic Napa properties.

Conover first offered me a taste of “something good” back in 2003 at the tasting room of the PlumpJack Estate on Napa’s Oakville Cross.

I had come to learn more about a blasphemous experiment he had undertaken when he bottled half of the 1997 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon under Stelvin closures — better known as screwcaps.

Conover had wanted to test his theory that the closures would be as efficient as cork in aging the wines and, more important, not subject the wine to cork-taint or TCA. In typical Conover fashion, he charged

14

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

F

an extra $10 per bottle for those with the Stelvins.

“What other industry would allow a significant percentage of their product to be unusable because of a tradition?” he asked then. Of course, the Stelvin bottles became collector items and today, when each is opened, they are examined and considered with a scrutiny that simply does not accrue to other wines of the same vintage. Genius. It was the major boost to the screwcap movement in America and simply a bold thing to do.

A few years later Conover again suggested we taste “something good.”

This time the offer was proffered high on Howell Mountain on the site of Cade, PlumpJack’s groundbreaking LEEDcertified, organically farmed, mountain winery. The wine this time was a crisp, clean, green, estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc that was as true to the varietal as the Cabernet that I had tasted years earlier.

In both cases, the experience demonstrated a commitment to not only produce great wines, but also a desire to push the boundaries of what is considered convention, to innovate and improve the product, the process and the experience.

And now, the third act: Odette Estate is the next jewel in the PlumpJack Group’s Napa portfolio.

“We have a valley floor property at PlumpJack, our mountain property at Cade and now we are very pleased to be able to work with estategrown fruit on a Stag’s Leap District property. We are very fortunate.”

Again understatement.

The winery sits adjacent to the Silverado Trail in a pocket of vineyards that first received international recognition when Warren Winiarski’s Stag’s Leap Wine

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

Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon won the Paris Tasting in 1976. In fact, Odette sits in the virtual shadow of Winiarski’s mountaintop home.

“We view this as a more feminine undertaking,” says Conover, as he walked us around the property.

“The wines here will be a little more elegant, a little more rounded and graceful.”

The name Odette is, in part, an ode to a woman, Odette Kahn, who was one of the judges at the 1976 Paris Tasting. She was so outraged that the California wines triumphed that she demanded her ballot be returned.

Thirty-six acres are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Tintoria and a touch of Pinotage. An old farm building has been repurposed, morphing into a “modern California”

tasting room. Architect Juancarlos Fernandez, who designed the Cade winery, has designed another functional space for the winemaking operations that employs recycled materials — including old shipping containers — to create a contemporary winery set into the California hillside. The vibe is pure PlumpJack. Casual but serious, comfortable but efficient.

The PlumpJack Group started in 1992 with a single wine shop in San Francisco opened by Gavin Newsome (yes, the former mayor of San Fran) and his investor Gordon Getty (yes, of those Gettys). Over the last two decades it has grown to include a collection of more than a dozen of California’s most attractive hospitality properties including restaurants, hotels and, of course, wineries.

Now, with the team assembled by John Conover and led by Jeff Owens, Odette Estate is once again fulfilling the promise of providing a great customer experience.

FROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

LUCK OF THE IRISH

IN JUST TWO YEARS, FINBARR’S HAS REIMAGINED THE MOUNTAIN-TOWN SPORTS PUB WHEN THE 2014 Michelin guides to Europe were published recently, the Irish press reacted with pride: “The days of having to put up with dodgy pub food are at an end,” boasted one headline.

Nine restaurants on the Emerald Isle garnered Michelin stars, and an unprecedented 34 venues were featured in a separate guide to pubs there and in Great Britain.

AMANDA Meanwhile, in Aspen: RAE as bonafide sports bars could be seen as creeping toward leprechaun status, Finbarr’s Irish Pub has been bustling almost nonstop since it opened two years ago, on Dec. 5.

“Certainly in Ireland, they’ve raised the bar on the gastropub,” says owner Denis Finbarr O’Donovan, a County Cork native who moved here some 20 years ago and worked in Aspen’s jewelry and fine-art industries. “We’re pushing the envelope of what you’d expect foodwise from a pub, be it our football specials or our dining room menu.”

One might not expect to find “globally influenced cuisine” at a joint that welcomes rabble-rousing, jersey-clad, pint-glass-clinking sports fans, but executive chef and general manager Joe Flamer’s menu showcases just that: curry, poutine and pheasant cassoulet have mingled with fresh-baked soft pretzels to dip in Guinness-cheddar fondue, cod sliders and pulled pork-stuffed chile rellenos. Chicken wings are highlighted on game days, obviously, but the plate includes thighs, too, for a more satisfying snack. While chicken schnitzel, lamb shepherd’s pie and fish ‘n’ chips are classic standbys, fruits of the earth abound as well: Greek flash-fried broccoli with caper-lemon aioli; kale salad with pears, Maytag blue cheese and fig vinaigrette; and a complex housemade veggie burger that slays even carnivorous appetites.

“If you can make vegetarians happy, you’re doing something right,” Flamer quips. “I want everything to

F

be simple and flavorful — (no) fancy foams, just good, hearty food. You’re gonna eat something awesome and walk out full.”

Preparing to unveil Finbarr’s new winter menu any day now, Flamer is especially excited about his sustainably sourced seafood creations: mussels nestled in a pool of creamy potato-bacon chowder, salmon with sweet pea risotto, and Dover sole over lemon-lobster mashed potatoes and lobster bisque.

“It’s elevated comfort food,” O’Donovan says, “and reminds people of something they had once upon a time, in a different part of the world.”

To use a phrase as washed up and watered down as “there’s something for everyone” doesn’t seem fair to Finbarr’s, yet it’s an apt description.

On a recent Sunday afternoon, octogenarians sit alongside 20-somethings at the bar, families with young children dine at tables and chairs, and couples of all ages cozy up on leather couches before a crackling fire.

“There’s no generation gap,” O’Donovan marvels. “You don’t know who your client base is going to be until you open the doors, but it’s really become a locals’ favorite.”

(He’s not spitting hyperbole: Finbarr’s has earned The Aspen Times Locals’ Choice Award since it opened, in 2012 and 2013.)

Such mass appeal is thanks in part to Finbarr’s design: O’Donovan and his wife, Kelly, who runs the Elliott Yeary Gallery upstairs, renovated the former nightclub space to showcase a massive, horseshoe-shaped bar, surrounded by high-top tables with clover-green-leather bar chairs and banquettes. Only a third of the room was reserved for dining tables.

“There’s no backs-to-the-bar situation,” O’Donovan explains. “We wanted the very essence to be a pub, a social gathering spot.”

Thanks to nine widescreens — two added at the end of the summer in anticipation of football season — there isn’t a bad seat in the house.

“You’re literally surrounded by highdefinition TVs,” O’Donovan says.

LCDs and harsh lighting are all but synonymous with sports bars, but high-ceilings, stained glass, and soft lighting on whitewashed brick lend a warm glow; it’s all too easy to forget you’re underground.

“The very old pubs in Ireland, from the Victorian era, were elegant establishments,” O’Donovan says, pointing to a sparkling fixture above us. “They had crystal chandeliers, so we emulate that.”

The space is pleasantly devoid of cheeky ephemera. Instead, blackand-white photographs depict notable Dublin landmarks, which O’Donovan passed on his nine-mile bike ride to college: Grattan Bridge, the Mansion House, the city’s windy coastline.

But perhaps the Irishman’s biggest source of pride is draught beer. “We have the coldest beer in Aspen,” O’Donovan says, and while my deadline prevented thorough scientific testing, I’ve been to enough bars to believe it. Finbarr’s cuttingedge Chill-Rite system encases keg lines in glycol to keep brews at a constant 32 degrees, and pour with less foam than traditional taps. Beers don’t change temperature from keg to glass, so their flavor isn’t tainted.

Aside from Guinness — “right dead center, where God intended it to be,” O’Donovan says (see “My Goodness, My Guinness,” opposite page) — Finbarr’s pours about a

dozen brews, including Smithwicks, Pacifico, Blue Moon, Hofbräu, Miller High Life, and a monthly rotating tap, which currently features Aspen Brewing Company. Scotch and Irish whiskeys — Jameson, Powers, Bushmills, and Redbreast, plus Middleton Very Rare Irish Whiskey, from O’Donovan’s homeland of County Cork — round out the standard liquor selection.

Because of its classy yet laid-back vibe, I often take friends visiting from out of town down the steps to Finbarr’s. My favorite moment is the big reveal: we heave open the heavy wooden door, decorated with wrought-iron and tiny windows of green glass, and step into a space that isn’t dark or littered with dusty tchotchkes as they anticipate. Rather, it’s bright and welcoming, like being inside an oil-lamp.

As with everything else, O’Donovan considered the entrance carefully.

“It’s a reproduction of a door in an old Protestant church in the village that my father was born in,” O’Donovan says. He smirks. “Except in the church they didn’t have whiskey-bottle stained glass.”

An affinity for Irish pubs may be in Amanda Rae’s blood: her ancestor was a stowaway on a ship bound for America during the Irish potato famine. amandaraewashere@gmail.

MY GOODNESS, MY GUINNESS! “In Ireland, you’d be tossed out of a pub if you were to interrupt the three-minute pour,” says Finbarr’s Irish Pub owner Denis Finbarr O’Donovan, referencing the stout’s slow-settling, cloudy swirl. “Over here, people are less interested in the pour than the flavor. That generation of patience isn’t there, to sit and watch the ritual.”

Some might argue that Guinness on the Emerald Isle tastes better than the U.S. import, but all beer sold in the U.K., Ireland and North America is brewed at the historic St. James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin.

Temperature, however, plays a role, and Finbarr’s cutting-edge Chill-Rite system keeps suds a frosty 32 degrees.

Still, O’Donovan can’t help but observe fellow Irish expats and service-industry folk to see their reaction after those first glorious sips.

“Invariably, its good,” he says. “The system supports Guinness very, very well. Kegs are drained efficiently, and the beer comes out cold and as pure as can be.” Sláinte!

Finbarr’s Irish Pub’s menu features “elevated comfort food,” including fish ‘n’ chips and almond-crusted chicken schnitzel with pan-seared herbed spaetzle, wilted arugula salad and lemon buerre blanc.

PIECES of the PUZZLE RARE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OFFERS CLUES INTO THE ROARING FORK VALLEY’S PAST

by MICHAEL MCLAUGHLIN

IT’S CALLED SITE 5PT1271.

It’s a speck of land, totaling just a couple of acres within the 973 square miles of Pitkin County. To the untrained eye, it’s just another piece of property with areas of thick vegetation and rutted spots that have been washed out by drainage.

But to the trained eye of an archaeologist, it’s an area of untapped learning potential; a place that could hold clues to the people that lived here several thousand years ago.

Site 5PT1271, or the Sopris Archaic Archaeological Preserve, is an important cultural resource because of its unique setting, diversity of artifacts and evidence of repeated use that began between an estimated 6,000 to 8,000 years ago.

The site holds a high density of flaked stone artifacts, such as arrow and spear points, scrapers, knives, flake tools and at least one drill point. Grinding tools used to mill wild plant seeds are also present. Many flaked pieces of different materials are scattered throughout the site, representing the final stages of tool-making. The stone materials themselves are diverse and include locally available rock, as well as pieces from distant sources.

The different styles of points and tools suggest many occupations of the area from a variety of time periods.

Collectively, these findings indicate a specialized land-use pattern that hasn’t been adequately documented anywhere in Colorado. A search of the Colorado Historical Society’s database shows there are 187 prehistoric archaeological sites recorded in Pitkin County, with only nine dating back to the Archaic Period.

The site is already included on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties and is a candidate for the National Register of Historic Places.

Located near Emma at an elevation of nearly 8,000 feet, the site was once on private property, but now is protected by a conservation easement and management plan with the Pitkin County Open Space and Trails department.

“I think it’s our responsibility to help interpret the landscape,” said county Open Space and Trails director Dale Will. “Preserving the site is certainly a priority to the extent that we can facilitate scientific research that helps understand more about the ecology and the human history in the high mountains.”

The site isn’t open to the public for fear of looting. For many years, the basic assumption toward native artifacts was a finders-keepers attitude. However, there are strict laws that prohibit the removal of artifacts from public lands and penalties that go with them (see “Protecting the Past,” page 22).

Archaeology is a science that depends on the material record in the ground.

The location of the artifacts in relation to everything else at the site is called context. Context helps archaeologists figure out who used the artifacts, how they used them, and even when they used them. Moving the artifacts out of context destroys the story of the site.

The Sopris Site has many stone flakes, tips and pieces of tools present on the ground surface, but most all of them are broken and hold little to no real monetary value.

“The value is in the intellectual knowledge the site holds,” said Paul Holsinger, the land officer for the Open Space department. “We all share the feeling that this area has been a real

special place for a long time.”

Holsinger will be working closely with the future management of the site. He also worked with the Archaeological Conservancy to come up with a conservation plan to protect the discovery.

The Archaeological Conservancy is a nonprofit organization based out of New Mexico that helps with the acquisition and preservation of archaeological sites on private land.

Because the Open Space department doesn’t have any expertise in archaeology, they brought in the Conservancy to work with the private landowners and assure them that the site would be taken care of properly with the granting of the conservation easement.

“This property is so unique,” Holsinger

PALEOINDIAN - 11,000 BC to 6800 BC: This timeframe correlates with the ending of the Ice Age. The Paleoindian period refers to the time when small bands of nomadic hunters first entered North America and spread out across the continent. Glaciers still covered much of North America and many large animals that are now extinct still roamed the land.

said. “We had to come up with some really innovative language to protect the resources the site holds.”

The real value for archaeologists may lie below the site surface, however. Until a formal dig takes place, what it holds will remain a mystery on many levels.

The estimated age of the site has been determined by the size of the notches on some of the tips present. If a dig were to occur and some organic material could be found, then carbon-dating could be used to determine a more exact date of occupation.

Carbon-dating is a radiometric dating technique that uses the decay of carbon-14 to estimate the age of organic materials, up to 60,000 years old.

Holsinger is fascinated by what clues may lie below the surface at the Sopris Site, but doesn’t necessarily want to see the site excavated.

“Once you start digging,” he said. “You lose some the mystery.”

‘Stunned by the Site’

Will was a key figure in the deal that allowed the Open Space and Trails department to exchange two county transferable development rights to the private owners in exchange for the 4- to 5-acre site property.

While growing up in Colorado, Will spent a fair amount of time backpacking around the Utah canyonlands looking at Anasazi sites, as well as cliff dwellings like Mesa Verde.

His first visit to the Sopris Site immediately changed his perceptions concerning long-term human presence in the high mountains.

“I was stunned by the site,” he said.

“The sites I was familiar with are down

ARCHAIC - 6800 BC to 200 AD: Over time, the environment gradually became similar to what we are accustomed to today. The warmer and drier conditions contributed to the extinction of several large species such as mammoths, mastodons, and giant, or Ice Age bison. The nomadic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle continued through this period with prey that consisted of animals familiar to us today: bear, deer, elk, bighorn sheep, rabbits, and rodents. Archaic peoples also became increasingly dependent on plants and seeds to round out their diet.

around 4,000 t0 6,000 feet in canyon country. I’ve never seen anything like this in the mountains. A random arrowhead here and there ... never more than one in a location. But to see a site with (so many) arrowheads in such a small area that are all just lying around on the surface? It was a spine-tingling experience the first time I saw that.”

Will is the first to admit he’s not a trained archaeologist, but his experiences in the canyons and mountains of Utah and Colorado have given him some solid background on what to look for with native sites.

As for the Sopris Site, Will sees a couple of clues to the repeat uses of the area as both a lookout and an area for making tools. Will has copies of the original Hayden survey maps of the Roaring Fork Valley created in the 1870s.

Essentially, it was Ute territory in that time. The maps show a trail that goes just below the site — the main trail that the Ute took up and down the valley.

“It’s probably more than a coincidence that this site looks down on a long reach of that old, native trail,” Will said. “The fact remains that from the site, you could look down at a long reach of pathway that we know the Native Americans were traveling up and down. Unlike some of the Anasazi sites, where you’ve got proximity to water and agriculture, this site is on a northern aspect and not particularly close to any surface water, at least that’s there today. It’s not a place you would think would attract a long-term habitation, except for this commanding view it has of the midvalley area.”

After Will learned the estimated dates of occupancy and span of generations

LATE PREHISTORIC - 200 AD to 1600 AD: This period has some of the least data available as many high-mountain sites lack structures and pottery, and for many archaeologists, these areas weren’t considered as important as areas such as Mesa Verde, where large cliff-dwelling structures held much information and artifacts.

One school of thought contends a separate cultural adaptation was developed in the Archaic Period and continued into the Late Prehistoric, where groups of hunter-gatherers remained in the mountain regions

year-round. These peoples didn’t develop permanent living areas, but rather adjusted to high-altitude living and followed their food sources through different times of the year and at various elevations.

HISTORIC PERIOD - 1600 to the present: This is the time when written records from European and Mexican explorers, as well as settlers, come into play.

PROTECTING THE PAST Says Dale Will, director of Pitktin County Open Space and Trails: “To see a site with (so many) arrowheads in such a small area that are all just lying around on the surface? It was a spine-tingling experience the first time I saw that.”

that kept returning to this one particular spot, his perceptions of the area continued to change.

“That’s another reason that makes this site so stunning,” he said. “They kept coming back for generations and generations. We’re talking between 6,000 to 8,000 years. I’d imagine it became custom or a ritual area to gather and make stone tools, spear points, arrowheads and other tools. We can see from the lithic scatter that the material was being carried to the site from all over the southwest. It was essentially an arms factory, in a way. It became one that had a longevity that our culture can only dream about having.”

For Will, the most profound significance of the site is a reminder that people don’t need to tread so heavily on the landscape to survive and thrive as a species. With the science of high-elevation archaeology still being developed, Will sees a need for greater understanding of pre-European human presence in the Rockies, as well as more historical research on the Ute peoples.

“For us to have a site that is so rich and goes back so far in the high mountains is exciting,” Will said. “To have something like that in the Roaring Fork Valley profoundly changes the way we think about ourselves in both positive ways and also in some ways that suggest maybe our own civilization isn’t quite as great as we think it is.”

‘Sometimes You Get Lucky’

Kevin Black, the assistant state archaeologist in Colorado, visited the site in 2012. Black’s first impression was that the site looked like hundreds of other high elevation sites he’s visited. The materials and lithics he saw on the ground were familiar, but he soon realized he was seeing more surface materials in that one area than he had ever seen in a location that size, sitting on a north-facing mountain slope, high above a river valley.

“What struck me was that it seemed like such an odd spot for so much material,” Black said. “With the property being private, it’s really limited the number of people that know about, or had exposure to, the site. The fact that people haven’t really messed with the area makes it very unique. Sometimes you get lucky in that way.”

Black has his own theories about the site and its uses. He sees it as a spot that was used repeatedly over hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

“It looks like some sort of processing station,” he said.

“The repeated use over time is what really makes it unique.

It may look remote today, but maybe there was a trail system near that’s missing now. The hill above the site is soft shale and it appears that there’s been quite a bit of slope wash. I suspect that the exact positions of many of the artifacts have been changed by flow from the slope.”

Black sees the area as unusual and unique, making it that much more important to preserve. The site is a piece of a larger puzzle that can help us understand more about the people that were in the Colorado mountains long before

Europeans came to North America.

“The more we can raise people’s awareness of the importance of sites like this,” he said, “the more people will care about them and help preserve them,”

‘Another Key to Learning About Our Past’

Melissa Elkins is a project director at Metcalf Archaeological Consultants, the company that was brought in to document the site.

She was one of two archaeologists to record materials at the site in 2012.

“It was so exciting,” Elkins said. “There were artifacts everywhere of different sizes and colors. It was visually striking to see the variety of artifacts, especially in a high elevation area. We were marking artifacts with red flags but ran out of flags to use. There are many formal tools within the site. It was obvious whoever was using the area was doing a lot of work there.”

Elkins said the site appears to show evidence of repeat as compared to constant occupation, but that can’t officially be determined until more work is done at the site.

“It’s such an interesting location,” she said. “Most high altitude sites I’ve seen have great sightlines, which was a big advantage for hunter-gatherers. It made it easier to plan access routes. The Sopris Site doesn’t appear to have any evidence of any permanent shelters. It makes me think it was used seasonally.”

Elkins says the site has major importance in the fact that there aren’t many high elevation sites documented that relate back to the Archaic time period.

“We don’t know anything about the subsurface at the site yet,” she said. “If we could find some evidence of charcoal, like from a hearth, we could do some radio carbon dating that would allow us to narrow down the occupancy times.”

She’s also happy to see Pitkin County preserve the area from any future development.

“A lot of history like this isn’t visible at first,” Elkins said. “It’s not some huge structure like the Coliseum in Rome. Most people wouldn’t understand what they were looking at when they see a lithic scatter like this. This site is another key to learning about our past and it’s extremely important to preserve it. If people can relate to the past, it helps them understand a little better just who we are today.”

ANTIQUITIES ACT OF 1906: This Act became law on June 8, 1906, and was the first U.S. law to protect historic sites. The law stated that any person excavating or damaging a site on federal lands without a permit could be fined, imprisoned or both. It also gave the President authorization to designate certain areas of federal lands as national monuments.

Most of the provisions in the Antiquities Act have been suspended and deferred to the Archaeological Resources Protection Act. NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT OF 1966: This act applies to a variety of historic properties, including archaeological sites. The Act requires federal agencies to plan their undertakings so as to take into account the possible effects on archaeological and historic sites. Agencies are required to do surveys to find out whether significant archaeological or historic sites will be affected by an undertaking.

They also are encouraged to find ways to avoid or minimize impacts on such sites if feasible. It also established a National Registry of Historic Places and required each state to have a State Historic Preservation Office.

THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES PROTECTION ACT (ARPA) OF 1979: This Act protects artifacts and archaeological sites. The ARPA recognizes that artifacts are at risk because of a growing commercial market and that these resources cannot be replaced once they are removed. The ARPA sets criminal penalties at a $10,000 fine and/or a one-year imprisonment. If the value of the resources involved exceeds $500, penalties increase to $20,000 and/or two years in prison. For a second or repeat offense, penalties are $100,000 and/or five years in prison. Anyone who damages, digs up, removes, sells, or buys archaeological resources can pay these penalties.

NATIVE AMERICAN GRAVES PROTECTION AND REPATRIATION ACT (1990): This law bans disturbing or trafficking in human remains and funerary objects, with penalties of up to five years in prison. It also established rules for returning such items from scientific repositories to their respective tribes.

OF NOTE: There were more than 56,500 recorded prehistoric sites in Colorado by 1996. Important historic and archaeological sites are registered nationally with the National Register of Historic Places (national register) and within the state’s Colorado State Register of Historic Properties (state register).

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE

by STEWART OKSENHORN

CONDUCT SLIP: MATT BUTLER LEADS EVERYONE MATT BUTLER GREW UP in an extended classical music family. Not only was his mother a founding member and violinist of the Eugene Symphony, in Oregon, but Marin Alsop, a conductor who would go on to direct the Colorado Symphony and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, lived on and off with the Butler family when she headed the Eugene Symphony. Butler cites Alsop as a major influence on his own music career. “The way she would communicate to these very talented musicians, her charisma, the way she brought people together,” he said.

Watching Butler is action, Alsop might have trouble seeing the mark she left. Butler conducts music, but the similarities end right about there. Where Alsop conducts in concert halls for seated audiences, Butler conducts for dancing crowds in rock halls and clubs. While Alsop emphasizes well thought-out readings of music that has been precisely written down as much as several centuries ago, Butler cuts the composer and the composition process out of the picture.

Everyone Orchestra, the ensemble that Butler leads, improvises from scratch the majority of its music. In the jam-band world — into which the group comfortably fits — Everyone Orchestra might be the ultimate jammers, with no set list and virtually no songs, just a rotating cast of musicians onstage with their instruments, willing to head into the unknown.

Leading the way is Butler. Dressed in a long black coat and top hat, Butler positions himself in front of the band, rhythmically waves his arms and twists his body, coaxing the music out of the ensemble. In a way, it is very much like what Alsop does with the Baltimore Symphony, which she still leads.

“I’m standing in a similar position. I’m asking for a similar set of things from the musicians,” Butler said from Washington, D.C., where he was preparing for a show at the Howard Theatre. “The conducting is the vortex between the musicians, the music and the audience. Whether it’s classical music or Everyone Orchestra, the role of the conductor is to bring it all together.”

Another profound difference between the classical orchestra and Everyone Orchestra is the make-up of the ensemble.

A standard orchestra establishes its sound on continuity; it’s not uncommon for a member to spend decades in one orchestra.

Everyone Orchestra is built on the opposite approach; a different combo is assembled for each tour, and the instrumentation can vary significantly. More than 600 musicians have taken a turn in the group. Most have come from the jam-band world — Jon

from a popped appendix. “But the concept was truly born that night,” he said.

The core of the concept is improvisation.

“We’re all composers in the moment. That’s what this is all about,” Butler said. Most performances feature a song or two — anything from the Police’s “Walking in Your Footsteps” to Phish’s “You Everyone Orchestra Enjoy Myself” — Thursday, Nov. 14 at 9:30 p.m. but the bulk of the Belly Up music is made up on the spot. “I try not to go in with preconceptions,” Butler said. “I embrace spontaneity, just be open to what comes forth.”

If the essence of Everyone Orchestra is talented improvisers doing what they do best, what then is the role of the conductor?

Butler does offer some cues — often handwritten notes made on the spot, that might give specifics (“Funk in E-flat”) or something far more ambiguous (“Hey! Ho!”). He’ll call out the soloists to give each musician has a voice, and make sure the music doesn’t get bogged down in one key or one rhythm. Often he will shape the rhythm through the way he moves his body.

Butler also serves as a conduit between the band and the crowd; sometimes he seems like the most privileged member of the audience, who gets to stand onstage and tell the musicians which direction he like the music to go.

“I want to have the audience participate Matt Butler conducts Everyone Orchestra in its Aspen debut, Thursday, Nov. 14 at Belly Up. in a way that the third wall gets broken down, so we all have this beautiful Fishman, the drummer for Phish, has an influence on Butler’s creative direction. experience,” he said. “I’m always coming been one of the most frequent players — Butler found that his favorite moments up with ways to get them involved — call but there have been appearances by Ivan with Jambay occurred when it wasn’t just and response, rhythmic clapping, the vocal Neville, drummer Stephen Perkins of Jane’s Jambay. “The profound thing was when chorus.

Jack & Shiloh

Two words come to mind when you see this pair...

PURE JOY! Jack and Shiloh are about as good as they get. Jack is an 80 pound Australian Shepherd mix and Shiloh is a 56 pound Border Collie mix. Both are males, very well trained and have impeccable manners. They are fabulous on a leash, completely house-trained, can be left alone with no worries and enjoy the company of other dogs. These fellas are looking for a forever home to share together. They really are easy as a pair. Both Jack and Shiloh are current on vaccinations, neutered and micro-chipped. If you are interested and have enough love to share with 2 dogs, please visit our website at www.luckydayrescue.org. If you have questions, please contact Stephanie at 720-625-9966

BOOK REVIEW

NOTEWORTHY

‘THE DROWNING GUARD’ I DELVED INTO this richly woven tale with little knowledge of the Ottoman Empire and was expertly introduced to it by the author’s deft descriptions of the sights, sounds, sins and sociopolitical milieu of 19th-century Constantinople.

Linda Lafferty’s “The Drowning Guard” offers up a colorful cast of characters, from the beautiful, spoiled and mysterious Esma Sultan and her ruthless brother Sultan Mahmud, to a host of other carefully articulated characters, including a devilish eunuch, a bewitching harem girl and an endearing horse master.

We find out early on that Esma Sultan has an appalling habit of sending her Christian lovers to be drowned by the formidable giant Janissary guard, Ahmed Kadir.

Ahmed is revolted by the blood on

his hands and abhors the Sultaness.

But when she begins to smell foul odors undetected by others, dreams of men who have eyes “clouded with death,” and starts to waste away, he finds out that she shares more with him than he could have imagined.

As the plot wends these two unlikely souls together, so does it skillfully intertwine the lives of other characters who may not be all that they seem, making for some unexpected plot twists.

Lafferty paints scenes of palaces and harems, mass murder and polo matches, marketplaces and aromatic meals equally well, delivering a fascinating tapestry of life in 1800s Constantinople (what is today Istanbul). She elegantly inserts history lessons, Islamic law, secrets of the harem, and other well-researched details to educate, entertain and ultimately draw the 1

reader more deeply into her story.

Though set in a crushingly patriarchal society, Lafferty brings her female characters into the light, casting them as the book’s heroines. Their show of strength, solidarity, self-sacrifice and their creative solutions to tyranny play an important part in bringing peace to a land dominated by men hungry for power at all costs.

I recommend “The Drowning Guard” to anyone who wants to time-travel to a fascinating city at a complex time in its history or who simply wants a great read about star-crossed lovers, secret tunnels, mysticism and evil eunuchs. I can’t wait to see where Linda Lafferty will take us next.
