They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In the case of fall colors in Aspen and the

Colorado high country, nothing could be more true. This week we drink in the golden hues and

autumnal accents in a photo essay that needs no further explanation (though we do offer a few

tips for the best ways to take in the sights this season).

THREE ARTISTS CONTRIBUTE to a unified vision in the new exhibition, “CrossCurrents,” at the R2 Gallery in Carbondale.

Presented by the Carbondale Council on Arts & Humanities, the show features artists Lynette O’Kane, Meris Barreto and Wendy Prelwitz offering their takes on wind and water. Curated by O’Kane, of Glenwood Springs, the exhibition includes an installation of wire-constructed tumbleweeds, plaster and encaustic wall works of clouds and monoprints representing the flow of water.

An opening reception for “CrossCurrents” runs Friday, Oct. 2 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the R2 Gallery in the Launchpad on 4th Street in Carbondale.

THE BELOVED Boulder-based trio Savoy returns to Belly Up Aspen on Sunday, Oct. 4 for what promises to be the dance party of the offseason.

The band’s creative remixes and touches of electro-house and dubstep have made them one of Colorado’s favorite live acts in recent years, consistently producing laser- and film-complemented dance soundtracks.

Tickets are $28 and available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen.com. Decadon opens.

IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY to get your ski season stoke going.

And The Meeting, Aspen Skiing Co.’s annual industry gathering and ski film festival, is the perfect place to get primed for winter.

The 11th annual event runs Oct. 1-3 in Wagner Park, bringing together filmmakers and athletes with skiers and snowboarders while showcasing the season’s biggest movies. A concurrent industry conference gathers brands, media, filmmakers and resort representatives.

As tradition dictates, the always entertaining NEPSA Awards kick off the festival on Thursday with a local-centric evening of short (mostly silly) ski flicks.

Wagner Park and Belly Up Aspen host 10 screenings, with highlights including Clayton Vila’s “For Lack of Better” (Friday, 6 p.m.), Transworld’s “Origins” (Friday, 7 p.m.) and Teton Gravity Research’s latest, “Paradise Awaits” (Saturday, 7:30 p.m.).

Aspen’s own Torin Yater-Wallace stars in Superproof’s “Masquerade,” playing Saturday at 6:30 p.m.

The Meeting also presents nightly concerts at Belly Up, with Sublime tribute band 40 Oz. to Freedom playing Friday, local DJ Berkel Beats spinning Friday and The Green performing Saturday.

The festival has traditionally called the Wheeler Opera House home, but due to ongoing renovations it is moving into an outdoor tent. The Meeting made a similar temporary move two years ago.

“Every year there are unique aspects to The Meeting and I am really excited to be back in Wagner Park to feed the excitement for the upcoming season with an outdoor party and chance to watch the top snow films,” says SkiCo’s Deric Gunshor.

Tickets for individual films are available at the Wheeler Opera House box office and www.aspenshowtix.com. A weekend pass runs $349. Pick up the Weekend section of The Aspen Times on Friday, Oct. 2 for more on the films.

Savoy will play Belly Up Aspen on Sunday, Oct. 4.

THE RESIDENCES VICEROY SNOWMASS


IT’S A TANTALIZINGLY sorry state of affairs when the political left of this country bemoans the sudden departure of one of the architects of the 1994 “Contract On America,” which arguably was the catalyzing event for the ongoing, anti-government Republican rebellion symbolized by the Tea Party and its adherents.

But that’s what’s happening, as the nation’s political community wraps its head around the announcement on Sept. 25 that Ohio Rep. John Boehner will be stepping down as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and giving up his seat in the House as of the end of October.

With the recent decision by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to bow out of the 2016 Republican primary slugfest, that means two of the most strident critics of everything-Obama are either dead in the water (in Boehner’s case) or slinking home to lick wounds and start planning his next moves toward higher political office (Walker).

All of that means the nation’s body politick is in even more turmoil than it was at the end of last summer, when a total of 17 rabid haters of President Obama were lined up to try to take his job and the Republicans were gearing up to turn Washington, D.C. into a mud-wrestling venue.

Boehner, who was elected as part of the Republican takeover of the House in 1992, was either the first or second member of Congress (it might have been Mitch McConnell, the goofy-looking, Kentucky-based majority leader of the Senate) to announce in 2008 that it was now his job to block every legislative initiative the new president made, and to make sure Obama was a one-term president no matter what.

It has been interesting to watch Boehner try to walk the highly charged political tightrope at the House, as the right wing of his party worked tirelessly to show that they not only do not want to govern the nation in any coherent, forward-thinking way, they want to undo any and all progressive changes made on the national level over the past several decades.

Boehner, as described by the New York Times over the weekend, actually believed when he was first elected that he was sent to Washington to make Congress work better, more efficiently, than it had been for some time.

That impulse, it would seem, went out the window when Newt Gingrich came up with his Contract On America (oh, I mean Contract For America) in 1994, and the battle lines were drawn up between the Republicans of Congress and the Clinton White House.

By demonizing the Democrats in Congress and the White House in a speech that September, Boehner showed that he, in

concert with his party stalwarts, was going to do everything he could to ensure that the Clinton administration failed in its every initiative — just as Boehner would do 14 years later with Obama.

Now, of course, Boehner himself is the victim of a steadfast drumbeat of criticism, from the right wing of his own party.

And it is intriguing to note that he is being hailed by Democrats and moderate Republicans alike as a voice of calm and compromise, and that all of Washington views the prospect of the coming political donnybrook over the Speaker’s job with a “sense of dread.”

According to many observers, the most likely candidate to succeed Boehner is Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the current House majority leader, although the combustible right wing of the Republican party already is making noises that they don’t support McCarthy’s candidacy.

The reason for that lack of support, according to some Republican talking heads, is that McCarthy is too much like Boehner — willing to work with Democrats to come up with policies and legislation palatable to both sides of the aisle, and that actually might get signed by the president.

Can’t have that, now, can we?What’s more, the drumbeats from the

right seem to be spelling out a growing movement to also dump McConnell from his lofty position as Senate Majority Leader, based on the same kind of thinking. McConnell simply is not “conservative” enough, which I guess means he is not enough of a racist, monopoly-capitalist, immigrant-hating demagogue.

What all this means for our nation’s immediate future is anybody’s guess. Wall Street apparently is anxious about the possibility of a government shutdown by the rabid right, which could throw our economy into free-fall yet again.

This anxiety is fueled by right-wing bluster over the fraudulent-based, supposed “proof” that Planned Parenthood is an aborted-baby chop-shop (remember the video sting earlier this year?), and not the rather low-key provider of general health programs and health-care advice for women that everybody used to think it was.

This is just another example of right-wingers listening only to themselves and making up stories to bolster their fantasy-imbued view of how the world works.

But the Repubs want to kill the organization’s federal funding, and are threatening to shut down the government if they are thwarted in any way.

How’s that for schoolyard, bullying tactics?

The passing presence of America’s most prolific pundit blessed many Nevada and California communities. Mark Twain traveled through, wrote about, and worked at newspapers in multiple mining centers between Virginia City, Nevada and San Francisco. He is often quoted as having said, “the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.” Although there is no proof that Twain actually said it, the remark continues to be as apt and funny today as it was during his time.

Aspen newspaper editor B. Clark Wheeler did not have the same funny bone. He used front-page fillers such as, “Many a voter considers congress a one-sided affair — with himself on the other side,” but he did not write them. As the town’s primary booster, Wheeler devoted his paper to exaggerations of Aspen’s finer points. He refrained from pointing out humorous follies.

A visit by a literary figure sometimes supplies wit that cycles through several generations. Our neighbor to the east, Leadville, was fortunate to have

Oscar Wilde visit in 1882. Miners were as captivated by Wilde as he was of them. When he returned to England he liked to tell, while on his lecture circuit, about his Leadville experience. In a saloon he had seen a sign on a piano that said, “Please don’t shoot the

pianist.” Wilde said, “I was struck with this recognition of the fact that bad art merits the penalty of death, and I felt that in this remote city, where the aesthetic application of the revolver

was clearly established in the case of music, my apostolic task would be much simplified, as indeed it was.”

Aspen tasted the literary wit of Robert Benchley. Known for his humor, Benchley published 600 essays, mostly in Vanity Fair and The

New Yorker. However, his humor was only tangentially connected to Aspen, through film. In the 1920s he wrote and starred in a series of movies. The first, “How To Sleep,” earned him Academy

Award recognition in 1935 as Best Short Subject. He then wrote several more “How To … “ humorous movies and starred in Walt Disney’s ‘The Reluctant Dragon.”

Billy Fiske, who knew Benchley in Hollywood, talked him into helping to sell Aspen. Fiske and his partners Tom Flynn and Ted Ryan had established their Highland Bavarian Lodge on Castle Creek. They enticed skiers from both coasts to try their slopes in Little Annie Basin and at the end of the valley above Ashcroft.

Benchley penned How To Aspen, a brochure that the Highland Bavarian sent to ski clubs nationwide. You won’t find Benchley’s comments about Aspen in Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations. But this one still draws a chuckle and remains applicable today: ”Aspen, Colorado is the place where you can indulge in winter sports without having to get a passport, wrestle with the Atlantic, stop in Paris at the expense of your health, and come all the way back again.”

The comment became embedded in local lore. Yet Benchley never visited Aspen.

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 [email protected].

The witticisms of literary figures often characterize cities. While Aspen has been known for the sense of humor of its citizens, finding historical wit that highlights the town itself is challenging.

WHERE’S THE WIT?

YOU WON’T FIND BENCHLEY’S COMMENTS ABOUT ASPEN IN BARTLETT’S FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS. BUT THIS ONE STILL DRAWS A CHUCKLE AND REMAINS APPLICABLE TODAY: ”ASPEN, COLORADO IS THE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN INDULGE IN WINTER SPORTS WITHOUT HAVING TO GET A PASSPORT, WRESTLE WITH THE ATLANTIC, STOP IN PARIS AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR HEALTH, AND COME ALL THE WAY BACK AGAIN.”

Oscar Wilde regaled Leadville’s miners in 1882.

1953ASPEN

“ASPEN LAUDED IN READER’S DIGEST,” boasted the Aspen Daily Times on May 28, 1953. The paper quoted an article from the June issue of Reader’s Digest titled “Rocky Mountain Roving,” by Donald and Louis Peattie, who wrote: “Later or sooner, you will discover Aspen, a town become world-famous, to the surprise of its 1000 citizens, remnant of the 15,000 whose hearts beat high in bonanza times. When the silver boom closed with the last century, Aspen, isolated in its cup of mountains, was forgotten. But its steep, snowy slopes brought it to life again in the ’30s. Now it is a sports resort known to skiers the world over, with the longest of all chair lifts and breathtaking runs. In summer, Aspen’s cultural festival draws flocks of visitors to lectures, concerts and forums, conducted by renowned artists and intellectuals. While winter and summer are Aspen’s big seasons, we’d choose to be there in autumn. For it is late September and early October that the trembling aspen sends to glory all the mountainsides. Turning form pale summer green to gold molten with sunlight, these white-stemmed trees stand like angels against the naked blue of the fall sky. They pour down the slopes in sheets of fire colors, and troop, brilliant and whispering, through the somber masses of silent spruce and fir.”

RIDE ON: INTERBIKE TRADE SHOW

GEAR of the WEEKFROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

Wireless Shifting

Cables are not required. SRAM unveiled an electronic-shifting system that sends signals wirelessly to derailleurs to change gears. A rider taps small levers to initiate shifting. Called eTap, the whole package goes for more than $2,500, making the wireless feature a pro-level upgrade.

Folding Cargo Bike

Folding-bike brand Tern partnered with Xtracycle to create a tiny bike capable of hauling big loads. Called the Tern Cargo Node, and priced at $1,500, the bike will support up to 350 pounds of rider weight plus cargo on back. After a ride, it can be folded in half to stow away in a small apartment, fit in an elevator, or work in any other tight urban spot.

Stephen Regenold writes about out-doors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

‘Printable’ Jersey Lights

Swedish brand POC teamed up with a technology company to launch a vest with “printed lights.” A grid of glowing LEDs are embedded almost seamlessly in the fabric, which does not compromise garment comfort or fit. The tiny points of light run off a rechargeable battery housed in a zippered compartment on the biking vest.

Liquid Crystal Vision

Imagine riding in and out of the shade, your glasses adjusting tint in real-time. That’s the promise with the UVEX Variotronic Glasses, $329, which have a liquid-crystal film on the lenses that’s activated by a photocell light sensor. The lens is touted to adapt from dark tint to nearly clear in just 0.1 seconds, faster than you can blink.

‘Sustainable’ Bike Helmet

Non-biodegradable foam is the main ingredient in most modern helmets. Giro took a new direction with its Silo, a $50 hard hat constructed with a biodegradable material made from corn. Everything else on the Silo is recyclable, from the plastic shell and buckles, to the straps and webbing, which are constructed using natural fibers.

A LOOK AT to-be-released bike gear comes each year at Interbike, an industry trade show held in Las Vegas last week. Here are a few top picks of the “future gear” presented at Interbike. Look for it all at your local bike shop, or in the pro peloton, next year.


ASPEN UNTUCKEDFROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE by BARBARA PLATTS

THE ONLY CONSTANT in this world is change.

We’ve all heard that before and I’m sure I read like an outdated fortune cookie reiterating it, but

it’s something I have to remind myself of often. I find living up here, in a place with four seasons, helps remind me of this, of how much we can love something and then have it leave us with the change of a leaf.

This recent shift from summer to fall has been a particularly harsh one to adapt to as I’ve watched two of my best college friends go through a stage in life that no millennials (or at that, really no one) should have to experience: divorce.

I was shocked and horrified when I got the news about six weeks ago. I’d watched these two go from inseparable best of friends first semester at college to love birds in the second. They’d had their share of tough times, but together they seemed strong. They appeared ready for anything the world had to throw at them, because they were in it together.

They were married two Octobers ago and now, coming up on their second wedding

anniversary, everything has fallen to disarray. He’s frustrated with his job. She’s gotten a new hip one with a publishing company in Manhattan. He’s looking at the long game: buying property, having kids, etc. She’s realizing she committed too young and is beginning to find herself in a new light, looking to be defined more without him. They are now separated and at somewhat of a stalemate, where one or the other will eventually have to file for divorce.

We’ve all seen various versions of how this story unfolds. Some of us have watched it happen to our parents, aunts or uncles, maybe

even grandparents. Others may have been through it themselves or seen good friends suffer it. A divorce is not a death, per se, but it certainly feels like something has been permanently lost.

This past weekend, my boyfriend and I (who both went to college with the couple) invited the husband to Aspen for a short stay. We wanted him to have a break from the overwhelming amount of flesh (his words, not mine) that New York City has in it. We figured Aspen was the perfect place for a break. That he could find solace in the changing Aspen leaves and maybe some understanding in the shifting

currents down Stillwater on a paddleboard. I’ve always felt like nature has an overwhelming ability to nurture someone during a hard time and I wanted that for him.

We had a great weekend filled with hikes, paddleboarding, a bit of venting, a slight amount of drunken revelry and a lot of laughter — all things that, when combined, can hopefully lead to the start of healing and closure. Or, at the very least, can make for some good pics on Instagram and Tinder.

One of the beautiful things about having seasons is that, even when one leaves, we know that it will always return. It will certainly take time, some ups and downs and a great deal of acceptance. But eventually, a rough season of life or a season of loss will fade into the distance and be replaced with blossoming flowers and long sunny days. Or, depending on your season of choice, a large number of powder days.

Barbara Platts has always had a lot of trouble with change. But since it’s uncontrollable, she’s trying to discover the good things about it. Reach her at [email protected].

SEASONS OF LIFEHOW CHANGE CAN ULTIMATELY BE A GOOD THING

BARBARAPLATTS

T H I N K S T O C K P H O T O

ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS ABOUT HAVING SEASONS IS THAT, EVEN WHEN ONE LEAVES, WE KNOW THAT IT WILL ALWAYS RETURN. IT WILL CERTAINLY TAKE TIME, SOME UPS AND DOWNS AND A GREAT DEAL OF ACCEPTANCE. BUT EVENTUALLY, A ROUGH SEASON OF LIFE OR A SEASON OF LOSS WILL FADE INTO THE DISTANCE AND BE REPLACED WITH BLOSSOMING FLOWERS AND LONG SUNNY DAYS. OR, DEPENDING ON YOUR SEASON OF CHOICE, A LARGE AMOUNT OF POWDER DAYS.


WINEINKFROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

DE GUSTIBUS NON EST DISPUTANDUM. In Latin it means “in matters of taste there can be no dispute,” sometimes interpreted as “to each his own.”

A perfect example of this ancient maxim applies when the discussion turns to restaurant wine lists. While a 5,000-bottle, multi-page tome with verticals of wines ranging from the world’s most renowned to the

world’s most obscure vineyards may be manna from heaven for one person, a simple “Carte du Vin” listing a dozen local wines by the glass on a single page does the trick just fine for another, thank you. The perfect wine list is the one that simply and efficiently gives customers the opportunity to select and purchase the wine that will make their meal more enjoyable. Period.

Wine is so much more than just an adjunct to a meal. It is a fundamental dining component that can tie courses together and elevate a lunch, dinner, or yes, even a breakfast, to another level. That is the reason why we are willing to pay $12 for a glass of Zinfandel to pair with a $10 burger or $150 dollars for a bottle of white Burgundy to sip with our $40 Dover sole.

Of course, there are myriad things that go into making a wine list welcoming, fun and complete. Of that there can be no dispute.

Let’s start at the start. Before a wine list is created, before it is printed, before it is presented at the table, the most important consideration is that the people who compile the list really care about providing their customers with a great dining experience.

For that reason alone a great list must feature a selection of wines chosen with care to work with the food, the ambiance and the personality of the restaurant in which it is served. In essence, it must coincide with the mission.

While a gourmet, multi-course meal in elegant surroundings may call for a leather-bound list

featuring an multitude of classic labels, a casual, contemporary neighborhood joint may be better served by a list made up of younger, less expensive wines that complement the chef ’s vitality. Neither is necessarily better than the other, it is just that there is a place for each and if the proprietors are serious about the dining experience they will select the right wines for their establishment.

However, all good wine lists share some things in common. First, a list should offer some diversity with both red and white wines from at least a few different varietals and styles, ranging from lighter wines to those that are a little fuller and bolder. There should be a solid sampling of wines by the glass and thoughtfully selected half-bottles are always a nice find. Some places may focus on wines from different regions to pair with their food while others may focus on a specific region that best connects with the cuisine they serve.

It should be well laid out with some thought and consideration as to how the guest will use it. Some lists are ordered by places of origin, others by grape varieties and still others by specific flavor attributes. All can work, just as long as there is a plan and focus to the list’s design. I prefer a progressive flow from lighter styles to heavier styles in the way the wines are listed. That big, buttery Chardonnay from Napa should follow the steely Gruner Veltliner, for example, so that there is a cohesive and intuitive order to the wine list.

Personally, I like to learn about wine, so either a brief description of the flavor components or even notes about a wine region are helpful and can be educational and fun. Too much verbiage or opinions that are pithy can be a turn-off, however.

Perhaps most important are the details. Nothing is worse than a stained or dirty list. Keep it clean. And for Gaia’s sake, double-check the spelling. I know that wines from different regions of the world can be both tongue-twisters and

difficult to spell, but if you want me to put down $300 for a 2008 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo “Brunate-Le Coste,” make sure that the spelling is as perfect as the wine itself.

Prices, while they may vary widely, are an important aspect of any component of great meal. A good list will always have a bargain wine or two that a wise wine lover can spot easily.

Of course, a good list is just one part of a good wine program. The basics of a good wine program include having a staff that is knowledgeable about the wines they serve, the glassware that is appropriate to the wines that are poured, and attention paid to the temperatures of the wines and how they are stored. Generally, if these details are attended to, the wine list will also reflect

the importance of wine to the restaurant.

The bottom line is that, at the end of the meal, a diner should feel that the wine was both an important part of the experience and worthy of the price.

We all deserve that, no matter what our tastes.

MAKING A GREAT WINE LIST

KELLY J.HAYES


UNDER THE INFLUENCEMICHELE CHIARLO BARBERA D’ASTI DOCG 2011

When delayed at DIA, that would be Denver International Airport, I generally head to lounge 5280 upstairs in the center of United’s B Concourse. There I know I can always find a worthy pour and the bright Barbera d’Asti from Michele Chiarlo seems to make my wait a bit more bearable. At $11 a glass, it is an affordable indulgence complete with a taste of Piedmont earth.


by KELLY J. HAYES

I have said it before, but for me the Gold Standard for a great wine list is that curated by Bobby Stuckey (pictured here) at Boulder’s Frasca Food & Wine. The 70-page list is not only simple in its design, but features a list of wines that play perfectly with chef Lachlan Mackinnon Patterson’s cuisine from the Friuli region of Italy. I could dine there every night, solo, with just the list, and learn something each time while enjoying wines that are perfectly stored and poured. There is a reason why Frasca has been acknowledged as having one of the best wine programs in the world by the James Beard Foundation.

TO ME, TACOS are just not the same without cilantro, and this summer I found myself on a self-imposed taco boycott. In late July, there was no sign, literally,

of the organic herb in the City Market produce section, and a few weeks would pass before it was back in stock. Eventually, organic cilantro returned — for $1.99 per bunch, as compared to 99 cents previously. The shortage resulted from

the FDA’s partial ban on cilantro imported from the top growing region of Puebla, Mexico, after inspectors found “objectionable conditions” at 8 of 11 major farms and linked those operations to multiple cases of Cyclosporiasis infection in the United States over the past few years.

“There’s not enough organic cilantro to feed demand,” says Justin Carpenter, Aspen City Market produce manager. “We have run out a few times.” Of all produce, he adds, organic cilantro is “one of the few items that is significantly higher” than its conventional counterpart —typically 99 cents compared to 39 cents per bunch. “Organic is the choice for many people, especially for many people who live in this area,” he adds. “What’s happening now in this country is the demand for organics is increasing so much that the supplies are often short.”

The temporary cilantro shortage and price jump is nothing compared to what the media dubbed the Great Lime Crisis of 2014 — which hit, conveniently, right around Cinco de Mayo. Though initially sparked by severe winter rains that damaged crops and compounded by a citrus-killing bacterium outbreak in Mexico — which exports 95 percent of limes sold in the U.S. — drug cartels capitalized on the situation. Finding it ever harder to smuggle

illegal substances across the border, cartels from the lime-growing capital of Michoacán decided to diversify their business, using violence, kidnapping, and other extortion tactics to control the lime trade. The crisis served as an eye-opening example of how the war on drugs may influence American consumers’ daily life in seemingly banal ways.

“We did run completely out of limes for a short time,” Carpenter says. “When they came back, they tripled in price for a while — for four to five months. That was big.”

Chef Mike Beary of Zocalito Latin Bistro felt the pinch. “[It] killed me, as we juice approximately three cases a week, mostly for cocktails,” he says, dropping expletives to make his point clear. “I had to take the beating as I couldn’t change the drinks.”

Food shortages are an ever-present thorn in the side of restaurant owners and chefs, and they speak to growing problems: climate change, the war on drugs, and food-borne illness. Consider the latter: Some 48 million Americans get sick from food contaminated with pathogens such as E. coli, listeria, and salmonella each year, and many of these modern diseases have been linked to factory farming and concentrated animal feeding operations. The estimated annual cost of medical treatment, lost productivity, and resulting death is about $55.5 billion, according for a 2015 study by a professor at Ohio State University. Yes, billion.

Salmonella in peanut butter, E. coli in bagged spinach, listeria in ice cream, moldy spices — the list is never-ending. Visit the FDA.gov “All Recalls” page and you’ll find a cornucopia of potential hazards, not all of which are about getting sick, but also about getting hurt: cheese slices wrapped in plastic that may pose a choking hazard; bottles of hard cider prone to sudden explosion due to concerns

of re-fermentation; bread that may have been baked with shards of glass. This information is hard to swallow.

All this ties into the shady ways of big business. Recently the Peanut Corporation of America made headlines worldwide as owner Stewart Parnell was sentenced to 28 years in prison for his role in one of the worst salmonella outbreaks ever recorded. Parnell was convicted of knowingly shipping peanut butter and other products that caused at least 700 people to become ill and killed 9 others across dozens of states in 2008 and 2009, and for that he received what is considered the harshest penalty to date for this type of crime. This incident, along with others, prompted the FDA to release stricter rules for food producers, the most significant overhaul since the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.

The term “fear mongering” may be bandied about in the media, but the statistics don’t lie. What’s

more, produce gets into the hands of consumers faster than the FDA can publicize a recall, and it’s often hard to pinpoint outbreaks. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1 of every 29 people who get sick from a salmonella outbreak will be formally diagnosed.

So what’s an eater to do? The easy answer is to avoid the grocery store and grow all your own food, but that’s not realistic for most of us. So, do what you’ve been told and follow basic safety precautions: wash produce (and your hands), inspect packaged food before putting it in your mouth, and understand the risk associated with raw milk and raw fish.

Or, follow Aaron Thier’s lead. The novelist proposes a radical idea in the current issue of Lucky Peach magazine: The Food-Free Diet. It’s just what it sounds like. Think it might take off in Aspen?

Produce shortages draw attention to growing global problems — climate change, the war on drugs, and food-borne illness — and restaurants and consumers feel the effects.

This might sound like a strange jump in logic, but while imbibing

at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver this past weekend, I

discovered what might be my new go-to Sunday brunch beverage —

and it doesn’t involve beer (there were a few “morning” brews I did

become fond of, however). Here’s the backstory on the Blood Orange

Mimosa: In the HomeBrew Marketplace section of the festival was a

booth promoting DrinkTanks, which comprises a full line of stainless

steel, double-walled, vacuum-insulated growlers —including their

latest innovation, The Juggernaut, a 1-gallon growler made to the

same specs. While researching the Juggernaut upon my return

to Aspen, I discovered a link on the DrinkTanks’ website offering

recipes to fill your growler. Lo and behold, the Blood Orange

Mimosa. I love a mimosa, and as readers of this column know, I love

a vodka/blood orange soda cocktail (aka “The Gunner”), so it’s a

perfect pairing. Amazing what you can learn in a weekend dedicated

to beer drinking.

AS GOOD AS GOLDBy

W ith the calendar flipping to October, autumn in the high country is at its peak. The Aspen trees have turned yellow, maples are red and everyone is jumping on their bikes or lacing up their hiking boots or

turning on their cars to get a final peak at the fall foliage. To give you a glimpse of what you’ll miss if you don’t follow suit, we’ve collected a handful of photos that show just how stunning this season really is — because, soon enough, the landscapes you see of the following pages will be blanketed in snow.

P H O T O B Y J E R E M Y W A L L A C E

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K L Y F O c t ob e r 1 - O c t ob e r 7 , 20 15 22 P H O T O S B Y ( T O P T O B O T T O M ) : F I L E P H O T O , D A N O N K L O S T E R , W I L L G R A N D B O I S

FALL FAVORITESWhile there are a host of leaf-peeping

opportunities across the state, here are a few favorites right in Aspen’s backyard.

HIKE IT: When the aspen leaves peak, the Castle Creek Valley is a sea of gold year after year, especially on the trails to American Lake and Cathedral Lake. The valley is also home to the ghost town of Ashcroft, which the public can walk through on their own.

DRIVE IT: The section of Highway 82 from Aspen to Leadville is part of the Top of the Rockies Scenic and Historic Byway, named for good reason. And countless aspens line the road as well as the trails and peaks surrounding it. The byway continues to I-70 by two different routes — Highway 91, which ends at Copper Mountain, and Highway 24, which takes drivers to Minturn.

“On this drive you can be a part of history, as countless generations have experienced viewing the fall colors on this pass, from skiers, miners, ranchers, railroad travelers, and many generations of Native Americans,” says the White River National Forest’s website.

BUS IT: OK, yes, there’s lots of hiking here too. But the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority will continue to offer bus service to the Maroon Bells every day through Oct. 4. That will be the only way to access the site between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Bus tickets to the Bells cost $6 for adults, $4 for children ages 6 to 16, $4 for seniors and are free for children under 6. And, after Oct. 4, motorists are welcome to drive up to the Bells at any time.

BIKE IT: A cyclist’s dream singletrack, Tom Blake Trail in Snowmass Village is also a leaf-peeper’s paradise, as it is flanked by a thick grove of aspen trees. You might just spot some wildlife peeping back at you, too.

RIDE IT: The weekend of Oct. 3-4 marks the final days to ride the Silver Queen Gondola to the top of Aspen Mountain before ski season begins. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (last ride down at 4:30 pm), and the views from the 11,212-foot summit are always stunning — whether you’re hiking the nearby trails, playing a round of disc golf or just enjoying a drink at the Sundeck Restaurant.

From Chair Mountain and McClure Pass to the Maroon Bells and Independence Pass, as well as points around downtown Aspen, it’s clear now is the time to soak in the fall colors.

“I’M SO GLAD I LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THERE ARE OCTOBERS.” – L.M. MONTGOMERY, ANNE OF GREEN GABLES


THERE IS A POINT on Colorado Highway 24, approaching Buena Vista, when there are only two choices on the radio (yes, I still listen to the

radio). Those music choices are country and Christian. The music seems to complement the scenery – wide open spaces of rolling fields. Hay, cattle, roadside gas stations separated by miles and miles of tawny landscape. And then things begin

to turn green again, and the mountains start to emerge, slowly. These aren’t great peaks, but they are tall enough to funnel its rain over millennia to what is now the Tarryall River and Lost Creek Wilderness. This river created the Tarryall Valley, which has been long been home to private fishing cabins and dude ranches, each with its own private water access, and it is here at a historic

homestead and fishing outfit that The Broadmoor has opened its Fishing Camp.

With five miles total of private fishing – three canyon miles on site, just steps from the seven cabins, bathhouse and main lodge, and two miles upstream at Eagle Rock Ranch – it is a simple but luxurious resort for those who are just learning or already have mastered their casts.

This is the third property in the Broadmoor’s Wilderness Adventure Collection joining Cloud Camp and The Ranch at Emerald Valley, each providing unique wilderness settings and accommodations as well as activities. At Fishing Camp, well, it’s about the fish.

I set out with my guide Blake Brenner to a portion of the river that gently snakes through Fishing Camp’s property. It was early morning in this Indian Summer September and the sun had not had a chance to heat the water, but as it was almost autumn, the

water was low. Surprisingly there were a lot of fish biting, as Brenner loaded my rod with a Red Copper John. We worked several areas of the river until we ended up at a sharp bend in the river where it had created a deep pool. I love the sounds of the river falling over rocks, the whip of the line and learning how to place your fly just in the right spot to lure the fish from beneath rocks or felled trees, and that can sustain me for hours. But as every fisherwoman or man knows, whether you are a novice or expert, it is the thrill of the hook that keeps you there daylong.

After several hours, and hundreds if not thousands of casts, I finally landed a rainbow trout – 26 inches and almost 10 pounds, according to my guide. He took my picture and we immediately got the old girl back into water. Although I spent that afternoon casting again upriver, and had some great bites and catches, nothing compared to the

thrill of bringing that one into my net.

After the day was done, all of the guests at Fishing Camp retreated to the restored Main Lodge with its wraparound deck and firepit on the lawn. We poured drinks and sat by the fire, and then gathered around the community table and shared plates of roasted vegetables and steaks, followed by chocolate pot de crème prepared by chefs from the Broadmoor, paired with endless cabernet.

Afterward we brought our drinks to the Fishing Cabin, where the guides tied flies for the next day, and we watched and learned late into the night, not a television or iPad in sight.

FILMFEST

FOR 37 YEARS, Aspen Film’s signature fall festival has celebrated and showcased the silver screen. As one of Colorado’s longest running festivals, Aspen Filmfest continues to bring filmmakers together with audiences for a weekend of movies, Q&A’s, discussion and dialogue. The festivities began with an opening reception on a glorious fall evening on

Sept. 25, at Harris Hall, sponsored by The Aspen Times, Aspen Sojourner, Carne Humana Wine and Aspen Brewing Company. Guests had the opportunity to mingle with fellow filmgoers, as well as meet the organization’s new leaders — executive director John Thew and artistic director Maggie Mackay, kicking off the week-long series of award-winning

features and documentaries and other special presentations.

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE by ANDREW TRAVERS

CHRIS COLLINS has, to his surprise, become the face of the annual John Denver Celebration in Aspen over the last 12 years.

The Texas singer-songwriter — with a marked resemblance to the Aspen icon — first heard about the celebration after a gig at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas, where he had a fortuitous exchange with a Fort Worth bar owner who made an annual pilgrimage to the week of events.

“He said, ‘Do you know any John Denver?’” Collins told me from his home in Canejos Canyon, near Colorado’s New Mexico border. “And I said ‘No’ and he said, ‘If you ever want to do a tribute show, come on up, because you look and sound like him.’”

In 2003, Collins — who had been performing his original music — learned some of the John Denver catalog and came to Aspen for the first time. His ability to interpret Denver’s songs has since given him a full-time career, traveling the U.S. with his band, Boulder Canyon, playing to the Denver faithful.

Collins’ shows have since been a constant at the annual tribute gatherings.

“It was completely accidental,” he says. “It’s an incredible thing to stand on stage and be the messenger, and by proxy, receive the adoration for John’s music.”

The Oct. 10 Boulder Canyon concert is taking place in Paepcke Auditorium this year, due to renovations at its traditional home in the Wheeler Opera House.

In the years following John Denver’s death in a plane crash in 1997, his bandmates and writing partners gathered in Aspen for a weekend of concerts on the anniversary of the accident. The informal get-together quickly grew

into a global event, bringing fans and musicians to Aspen for a days-long celebration of his life and work.

In recent years, the Collins’ shows have been the centerpiece of the celebration, which this year runs Oct. 8 to 12 and includes more than 30 events. Collins, who wears eyeglasses and floppy hair to accentuate the Denver resemblance, typically plays a mix of John Denver anthems like “Annie’s Song” and “Thank God I’m a Country Boy”

alongside deeper cuts.“Every John Denver song is kind of

unique,” he says. “It’s not like playing rock music were it’s all upbeat and danceable, pounding rhythms. His music goes from upbeat to slow and sentimental. It’s like a roller coaster ride playing his music. It’s awesome because you never get bored with it.”

Collins credits Denver’s enduring fan base to the hopeful message in the songs, preaching peace and

conservation and love.“His music represents the best of

human nature,” says Collins.This year’s concert has some

special guests, including Denver bandmates Mack Bailey and Jim Horn. Bailey, still based in Aspen, is pursuing music therapy these days. While Horn, who toured with Denver from 1978 to 1993, is among the foremost woodwind players of the rock ’n’ roll era. Along with his John Denver tours, he played on the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds” and the Rolling Stones’ “Goats Head Soup,” and performed with legends like Paul McCartney, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Warren Zevon and a host of others.

Horn played Aspen during early renditions of what’s now known as the John Denver Celebration. But this show marks his first with Collins and Boulder Canyon.

“We’re ecstatic to have him,” says Collins. “Jim has been coming up in honor of John and did the Wheeler Opera House show with John’s old band and we’ve become friends over the years.”

Since the 10th annual John Denver celebration in 2008, rumors have persisted that it will disband.

But, Collins says, it won’t be going anywhere.

“More and more people are discovering the celebration and instead of getting smaller, it’s actually getting larger,” he says.

SOMETIMES, the best new books don’t seem that new after all. Perhaps a storyline, or the cadence of the language, or the cast of characters feels slightly familiar — not because it’s derivative, but because it’s a seamless part of a long and laudable tradition. Spokane-based writer Shann Ray’s first full-length novel, “American Copper,” is one such book. Rather than diminish or be diminished by any of the similar voices that have come before — in particular Cormac McCarthy and A.B. Guthrie — Ray’s prose proves a deft and distinctive addition to the iconic literature of the American West.

At its heart, “American Copper” is a classic story of Westward expansion. Set in Montana at the turn of the 20th century, it contains all of the conventional dichotomies: Cowboys versus Indians, progress versus

tradition, nature versus industry, man versus woman. Ray weaves together the lives of the three protagonists — the smart, beautiful daughter of a copper baron, a giant, lonesome bar-fighter, and a Cheyenne rodeo star — with a meandering sense of inevitability; like the deep current in a river, we can feel the story moving steadily along, but we can’t see far enough around the bends and eddies to guess where it will end.

Ray is a poet at heart and a professor of reconciliation and forgiveness studies by trade, and the influence of both is clearly apparent in this novel. He writes with grace, not just in his language but in his careful and perceptive handling of history, race, gender and culture as well. In many ways, this is the story of the West’s often unheard or overlooked voices. His prose is deliberate and measured,

at times vaguely archaic. Each moment is distilled, lyrical and rich with insight: “(He) contemplated his will to live, where it came from and who shepherds the living and the dead. Winter set in like the teeth of a badger. His life seemed to walk away from him.”

In the hands of a less adept storyteller, this could just be another tale of horses and violence, ruthless industrialists and rodeos, wide-open spaces and lawless towns and damsels in distress. But Ray brings to his writing a sensibility and sensitivity that elevates the story just enough; it’s still a Western, yes, but it’s a Western with a brain.
