THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

POPULAR MUSIC ROCK DUO Jamestown Revival will complement the on-snow action at Aspen Winternational with a free concert at the base of Aspen Mountain on Saturday, Nov. 28.

The acclaimed Texas band — founded in 2011 and lauded for its debut full-length album, last year’s “Utah” — will take the stage at 6:30 p.m. The concert kicks off the Aspen Skiing Co.’s annual Hi-Fi Concert series, which runs through March and includes free shows in Aspen and Snowmass Village.

Longtime friends Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance founded the band after touring together, but performing solo shows.

“I was doing more singersongwriter stuff, really just trying to find my own identity in music, and Zach was doing the same thing,” Clay told The Aspen Times last year. “We were touring and traveling together and playing two different sets. We started singing harmonies on each other’s sets and that seemed to be what people really reacted to. I think that was something that encouraged us to take the dive and try to form some kind of collective group between us, and put harmonies at the forefront of that.”

Jamestown Revival’s performance will be followed by an awards ceremony for the day’s racers and a fireworks display over Aspen Mountain.

Women’s World Cup races, on the Lift 1A side of Ajax, run Friday through Sunday, with starts at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. in the giant slalom and slalom disciplines. Additional weekend events include public wax room tours on Friday at the Mountain Chalet and the World Cup Kick-Off Party Friday evening at the Limelight Hotel.

Jamestown Revival will open the 2015-16 Hi-Fi Concert Series at gondola plaza on Aspen Mountain Nov. 28.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with JOHN COLSON

Our government once poisoned our pot, you know WE CERTAINLY have come a long way, baby — and I’m not referring to the iconic Virginia Slims cigarette advertising from the late 1960s.

But I am discussing a related topic, in a way — the increasingly decriminalized/ legal nature of another smokable product, marijuana, and the use of pesticide in cultivating that product here in my adoptive home state of Colorado.

Tobacco, as we all know, carries a heavy dose of pesticides.

And now the Denver Post has been reporting for weeks about the use of pesticides to grow pot, and how the government is dealing with its role as the guardian of consumer health and safety with respect to the use of potentially harmful chemicals on crops.

But before we get into the details of the current pesticide problem, let me explain why I think we’ve come a long way from where we once were in this matter, back when the U.S. government decided it would be OK to poison kids if it meant winning at least a skirmish in the War on Drugs.

I’m referring to the use of an herbicide called paraquat on cannabis fields in Mexico and other places, as part of a program sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in the 1970s and later.

Paraquat, I have learned, is an herbicide that indiscriminately destroys green plant tissue on contact, and is toxic if ingested by humans or animals.

I recall hearing the paraquat stories back in those days, as my friends and I partook of just about any old kind of pot that we could find, and wondered why our own government would do such a thing.

We knew the government hated pot and anyone who used it, and had ever since the 1920s and ’30s when pot was mainly used by blacks and jazz musicians and was called “the demon weed.”

It was all part of a generalized atmosphere fostered by the more bigoted faction of the white majority in those days — blacks were not to be trusted, they liked to smoke marijuana, therefore marijuana must be evil, too. And by the 1960s the federal government was convinced pot should be stamped out before it turns white kids into something their parents might not recognize.

But the paraquat thing, that was a little overboard, we thought, even for the DEA — although it must be admitted, we didn’t think about it too long or hard before rolling another one and smoking it. We were indestructible and immortal, you know.

Subsequent studies by the Environmental Protection Agency supposedly concluded that paraquat posed only a “slight” toxic

threat to the lungs of those teenagers and 20-somethings puffing away in basements and on back roads. Never could find a definition of “slight” as used in this context.

Things are a little different these days, however.

Marijuana, in one form or another, is now legal to use in 23 states and the District of Columbia, nearly half the country, and here in the Centennial State the state government has been grappling with growers who like using pesticides to prevent damage and losses in the multi-million-dollar industry that has grown like a, well, like a weed since medical marijuana was legalized in 2000 and recreational herb in 2012.

Interestingly, the EPA is only marginally involved in regulating the use of pesticides on pot, because as a federal agency it cannot be seen as advising growers of a substance that remains classified as a dangerous drug by the federal government.

So, in Colorado, the regulating is up to the Colorado Department of Agriculture and other state agencies charged with overseeing the pot industry.

Except that the city of Denver has stepped in, after watching the CDA fumble around in confusion and dismay, and has recalled several batches of pot and related products, including edibles, that have been found to be tainted by pesticide residues.

In a series of articles over the past few months, the Denver Post has been watching this unfold with what seems like thinly veiled amusement, to judge by the headlines and the articles.

The most recent was last Friday, about how the city has decided that the industry is responsible for making announcements to consumers about the products that have been recalled, rather than leaving it up to the state and its various agencies to let people know what’s going on. Which makes sense to me, since I sure don’t know many people who check the CDA website for the latest news. Do you?

The city reportedly is requiring that companies subject to recalls must put up postings on social media to alert consumers.

Of course, the companies have pointed out that the recalls — nine of them have occurred recently — typically come weeks or even months after the products have been sold and, in the way of things, probably consumed.

But, just to be clear, I hope they figure it out because I’d rather not smoke pot that had been plastered with paraquat, or 2,4-D, or any other damned pesticide or herbicide.

How about you?

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Small restaurants easily accommodated skier traffic of the 1950s, and then grew.

SMALL BEGINNINGS WERE PLENTY BIG A comfortable Aspen home a half-century or so ago may have

averaged 1,200 square feet. Now expectations for comfort stretch to five times that large, or more. The price of an Aspen Mountain daily lift ticket today comes close to five times the cost of one then converted to today’s dollars. Restaurants back then were many times smaller than those of today, but they were plenty big for the number of customers.

There was no North of Nell building.

An empty lot allowed skiers to schuss the last section of Little Nell and then coast all the way to Durant, where they had parked. If you didn’t dine at the Sundeck on the top of the mountain, or venture over to the Skiers Chalet at the bottom of lift one, your only other option was a small building east of the T-bar lift at the bottom of Little Nell.

The small building offered a slopeside, outdoor deck. On days that encouraged outdoor meals, the deck helped to accommodate even a busy day’s crowd. As skier days multiplied, the owners kept enlarging the building. This culminated in major reconstruction in 1963, which resulted in the Center of Aspen.

Fritz Benedict designed the Center.

A cafeteria and bar lounge occupied the top level, over a ski repair and rental shop on the ground floor. The personable owners — Kurt Baar,

Skiers could also tuck into lunch at the Little Nell Café, diagonally across the street from the Center. Owners

From that humble foundation, Buzz Bent and Joey Cabell converted it to the original Chart House restaurant in 1962.

Bent and Cabell, a couple of early surfers, began wintering in Aspen, when their restaurant seated fewer

than 20 patrons. Their decoration theme featured nautical charts and pictures of oceanscapes that seemed out of place in the Rockies.

Their simple, popular menu offered “gigantic steaks cooked on a charcoal grill and huge mixed drinks.”

Cabell had won national surfing championships before starting the Chart House. He was one of the more influential surfers during that period.

After the two-year hiatus when he started the restaurant, he returned to competition and won several international events. Eventually, he built a chain of Chart Houses, including one in his native Hawaii.

Picturing a Chart House of today crammed into a typical restaurant space of the early 1960s may seem laughable. If the number of diners that would pack an Aspen cafe during the early days of skiing were the only ones to show up in one of today’s capacious restaurants, tourists would likely conclude the restaurant is unpopular.

But the seminal experience was different. Personal, family-style service back then created the loyal customers who were pioneering a new sport, and Aspen’s future.

Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective. Reach him at redmtn2@comcast.net.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

1950 ASPEN

“THE TUMULT AND THE SHOUTING CEASE, and the Kings of Ski depart (with apologies to Kipling),” noted the Aspen Daily Times on Feb. 23, 1950. “The shouting is, indeed, over. The downhill race last Saturday climaxed a week of perfect weather for both racers and spectators. Italy’s Zeno Colo, called the farmer of Abetone, won handily over the best that the rest of the continent and the Americas could send against him. Colo, who is 29 years old, sped down the 2.3 miles of downhill racing trail to win a good second ahead of James Couttet, of France, who was highly touted to win. Jimmy Griffith, of the United States team placed 18th on the list of 48 who finished. A crowd estimated by various people to be nearly 6,000, waited at the finish line just below the Veteran ore bin. The racers crossed the finish line on the average of one a minute so there were no long waits for thrills and action.

Several bad spills were made right at the finish, one racer sliding to within 10 feet of the electric eye and crawling the remaining distance on his hands and knees.” The photo above shows the finish area for 1950 race, the first World Championships to be held outside of Europe. The Veteran ore bin is visible next to the course.

FROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

SECURITY SYSTEM: TITANIUM BIKE LOCK

GET IT

A LOOP OF LIGHTWEIGHT TITANIUM linked to a keyed cylinder forms the entirety of the TiGr Mini, a new kind of bike lock. Stanton Concepts LLC manufactures the locks in New Jersey and markets them with the tagline “elegant bike security.”

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but it’s hard to argue with the simplicity of this design. I reviewed it during the past month, and it stands out from the crowd as a streamlined and handsome option in a category where chains and clunky u-locks dominate.

In use, the TiGr locks are slick. A bow of titanium fits over your bike frame, around a post, and then it locks together with a click.

I secured my bike over the past month to review the TiGr Mini, which costs $99. It came to market this year touted as the lightest in its category, weighing just under 1 pound.

My normal bike security system, a heavy-duty chain and thick-shackle padlock, weighs about 5 pounds. I wear it around my body as I ride, an anchor for sure but guaranteed to make the thieves think twice.

The TiGr Mini is certainly more pleasant to haul around town. It’s easy to use but small — you get a tapering 7 x 4-inch area inside the bow to fit around a bike wheel, frame, and post. Large posts present a challenge.

The TiGr option at first did not inspire confidence.

It’s so light I automatically assumed less security and strength. But the company touts independent lab tests that put its hard-to-cut titanium on the same level as steel u-locks and chains.

I tried cutting it with a standard hacksaw. The titanium is tough, but certainly not theft-proof. I was able to cut halfway through the bow in a couple of minutes. It dulled my saw blade and tired out my arm, but the lock was compromised in five minutes of work.

Granted, when locked on a bike the TiGr Mini is hard to compromise because of its frame-hugging small size — it’s more difficult to get a saw blade or

bolt cutter onto the 1.25-inch titanium bow when it’s secured tight around a bike.

The key cylinder couples with the bow via a simple (but strong) pin that wedges thick, riveted lugs into an unmovable position. I had two professional locksmiths assess the lock, and both were impressed, calling the coupling mechanism “strong” and the disc-based keyed cylinder “nearly pick-proof.”

No lock is impenetrable. The TiGr Mini offers higher security for its size and weight, though my old bulky chain is likely a magnitude safer when my bike is left alone on a sketchy street.

Ultimately, all bike locks are simply a deterrent. If you value lightweight and simplicity in design, this lock will provide moderate security and won’t weigh you down.

WINEINK

ONE SELECTION FOR EVERY DINNER COURSE — PLUS A COUPLE EXTRAS RULE NO. 1: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH WINE FOR THANKSGIVING

WITH APOLOGIES to Independence Day, Thanksgiving is the most authentic of our national holidays. It is the one day when, in the middle of a workweek, we pause our digital devices to gather and reflect on all that we have to be grateful for.

Oh, and there is football. And, of course, there is wine — usually lots of wine.

KELLY J. HAYES While there are no rules when it comes to wine (despite what some might tell you), there are some things to pay attention to that will ensure everyone is thankful at your Thanksgiving repast.

First of all, be sure to buy enough wine. When the Packers and Bears are headed to overtime, you don’t want your guests to be

If there is a budgetary issue, she can opt for wines with a lower price point for before and after the main course and serve the best wines with the turkey and the fixings.

TREAT YOURSELF And don’t forget to buy a little something extra for yourself.

The best part of a Thanksgiving dinner may well be the day-after leftovers. Treat yourself to a good bottle or two for the upcoming weekend. You deserve it.

AMERICAN VINEYARDS So what to buy? As this is an American holiday, buy American wines. Wines are made in all 50 states — yes, even Alaska and Hawaii have wineries — so there is plenty of juice to choose from,

KEEP IT SIMPLE. THANKSGIVING IS NOT THE TIME TO EXPERIMENT WITH OBSCURE GRAPES OR EVEN REGIONS. STICK WITH WINES THAT FOLKS WILL LIKE. YOU CAN BE EXOTIC ON YOUR OWN TIME. cheering them on with empty glasses. The rule of thumb for a gathering is to have at least a half-bottle of wine per person, which works out to about 2 1/2 glasses each. Some drink more, some less, but that amount is usually foolproof … except at Thanksgiving. If you are having multiple courses and are in a celebratory mood, or perhaps need some fortification from dysfunctional family ties, then get a couple of extra bottles.

For example, Samantha has been charged with buying wine for her extended family of 40 folks. Twenty bottles, as the rule of thumb goes, may be enough.

But to be on the safe side, she should consider upping it to 30.

north, east, south and west.

Next, keep it simple.

Thanksgiving is not the time to experiment with obscure grapes or even regions. Stick with wines that folks will like. You can be exotic on your own time.

Start with bubbly, or sparkling wine. Sparklers work great with just about any appetizer and lend a feeling of celebration to the early part of the festivities.

With your turkey, the tried and true pairings are pinot noir and chardonnay, the Burgundian grapes that grow so well in the Americas and are perfectly suited to a variety of dishes. If you want to step a little further afield, then Riesling and zinfandel or Syrah are wonderful pairings with fowl

and trimmings, as well.

Be sure to have something for your pies. There are a number of American port-style wines being produced these days, or you can find a “sticky,” as the Australians call their late-harvest wines. Also consider an ice-wine. They go so well with pumpkin and pecan pies.

WINE RECOMMENDATIONS Need more direction? Here are some specific recommendations: • Head south to New Mexico for your bubbly with a nonvintage gruet sauvage. With this, a French family comes to America and makes amazing sparkling wines using the traditional methode Champenoise: 100 percent chardonnay and bone dry; $17.

• Go west for your chardonnay, specifically the 2014 KendallJackson Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay. This may sound like an obvious choice; it is, after all, the largest selling chardonnay in America over the past two decades. But there is a reason. A consistent, clean, rich and full-

bodied chard, those who regularly drink chardonnay will be pleased, and those who don’t will be surprised; $17.

• Look north to Oregon’s Willamette Valley for your pinot noir. The folks at the Belle Pente (pronounced bell-pont) are killing it. The Belle Pente Willamette Valley 2013 Pinot Noir is a lighter Burgundian style wine (12.6 percent alcohol) that will make your Thanksgiving feast taste even better. Get an extra bottle for a leftover turkey potpie; $22.50.

• Finally, I’m breaking the American rule. Look east for dessert. Treat yourself and your guests to a 2013 Inniskillin Vidal Icewine from southern Ontario, Canada. Try the un-oaked version for sweet heaven in a glass; $50 for a 375-milliliter bottle.

Happy Thanksgiving, all.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

TALKING TURKEY

CHEFS SHARE THEIR FAVORITE THANKSGIVING TALES GATHER ’ROUND, dear readers! Here, for my second annual Thanksgiving edition of Food Matters, top chefs present memories that are happy, heartwarming, and hilarious: THIS IS A SEASON when many stop and reflect on what they have with gratefulness.

The best life lesson my mother taught me is to AMANDA show thankfulness for RAE all of life’s experiences, small and great. A busy single mom from a family of chef-restaurateurs in Germany, she taught me the excitement of trying new foods, the delight of exploring new cultures, to not fear what we do not know yet. This is why I never fear cooking.

For us, Thanksgiving was not a set day to be celebrated. But Mom made it a special day for us — a way to connect to the outside world. It was only the two of us, so off we would go, out to dinner. But not just any dinner. As a young girl in Colorado Springs, stepping into an old-world Chinese immigrant’s restaurant was like stepping into something out of a San Francisco novel — the sound of the bashing cleaver, the wok rattling as the chef frantically tossed its contents, a bit of smoke in the air, the chatter from the kitchen in a language I did not understand.

Every year we went for a special dish: Peking duck. The whole bird would arrive at the table on a beautiful platter, just for the two of us. The skin lay above the meat in a crispy shell; a beautifully sweetened, orange Szechuan-type sauce on the side. The old man who owned this restaurant with his wife would bring the duck to the table and honor us with a bow.

I marveled at how gentle he was. I could feel his love of the craft. We were always grateful for such a gift.

That is what I am thankful for: The people we connect with every

day, who shape us for the better.

—Karen Roderick, private chef THANKSGIVING IN New Orleans is a big event. The entire family goes to my cousin’s house.

We potluck it, and each dish kicks ass: baked sweet potatoes, with marshmallows, of course; stuffed blue crabs; oyster dressing; green bean-and-bacon casserole; shrimpand-eggplant pie; and giblet gravy.

The highlight of the day is always deep-fried turkey. We inject and then rub her down with spiced, herbed Cajun butter and seasoning 24 hours before frying the turkey outside. It comes out so tender and full of flavor. We use our crawfish boiler, which doubles as a turkey fryer when crawfish are not in season. At Ricard we’ll use my pressure fryer, one of my favorite new toys and the reason why our Southern fried chicken and wings are so damn good!

—Will Nolan, executive chef of Viceroy Snowmass WE DIDN’T HAVE Thanksgiving in France. Oh, but we ate turkey on Christmas!

—Mawa McQueen, chef-owner of Mawa’s Kitchen CHEFS ALWAYS try to reinvent themselves with new ideas. But as a cook, my mom reinvented before she needed to!

My memories of Thanksgiving were to bring turkey, potatoes, bread for stuffing — everything you’d need to create a traditional Thanksgiving dinner — to my mom’s house the day before.

Later, when we showed up to help, she’d already made the meal! But instead of mashed potatoes, she would make crunchy potato tacos.

She would cook the turkey, make mole, and then make tamales and enchiladas. She would do stuffing, bind it up with an egg, and make dumpling soup. All we wanted was a traditional turkey; we got all these creative Mexican innovations before we could use the meal to re-

create awesome leftover creations ourselves.

—Susie Jimenez, private chef MY FIRST THANKSGIVING was in 1989 in New York City.

I had come from my native Austria and knew nothing about the celebration. The day started easy enough with the usual preparations followed by lunch service. At one o’clock our chef told us to take a break and get something to eat. Not knowing what was to come, I thought this was a strange request. I should have known that something was about to occur, as the day before we had prepped and cooked 70 turkeys, mountains of sweet potatoes, rutabagas, turnips, and strange red berries that I had not seen back in Austria. The senior chefs had warned me about this big holiday, but, being 22 years old, I was not too concerned. After all, we cooked for 500 people every day.

Returning from break, I was told that one of the employees had decided to not show up for work.

I looked at Peter Schweiger, our executive chef and fearless leader.

“No big deal. The guy is slow anyway,” he grunted.

The next thing I know, the ticket machine starts spitting out tickets: trrr, trrr, trrr. (In those days, the printer was a noisy machine that would rattle without mercy.) Soon enough, the expediter could not keep up. Pulling and shouting orders, he let the machine rattle on, stacking 10 tickets at a time.

The pace got ever faster! We found ourselves working at maximum speed — 12 turkeys, two schnitzels, three steaks medium-rare, one steak medium, four lemon chickens, 14 veggies. On and on, our expediter belted out orders.

The hours wore on. There was no letting up, no break. Chefs burnt their hands, cut themselves, and the tickets kept coming in an avalanche. At 6 p.m., the board was still full of tickets. Food was everywhere. Finally, around 8 p.m., after 1,600 plates and with an entirely exhausted crew of just 10, the ordeal was over.

There would be many more challenges in years to come, but I will always think back fondly of this experience. We were each from different countries, striving

for our own American dream. But this battle made us more than just a part of a team. Bonded in our shared struggle, we became a family reflecting the very essence of Thanksgiving.

—Martin Oswald, chef-owner of Pyramid Bistro & Catering THIRTEEN YEARS AGO, the last time I was in Chicago for Thanksgiving with my dad’s side of the family, we decided to fry a turkey. It was the first time any of us had done this; I’d just started out cooking. We looked on the Internet and talked to other people who had done it before. (Oh, and the whole family likes to drink a lot when we get together; Captain and Coke was preferred at that time.)

So we’re all standing in the driveway of my cousin’s house in the suburbs, and we’re already behind because we’ve been drinking all day. We thought we had thawed the turkey enough. We doubled the amount of oil that was supposed to be in there, and we probably had the temperature too high, too.

When we dropped in the turkey, the fryer immediate began flowing over and sparking. There wasn’t a full-on explosion, but pretty close! The burner caught on fire, and the driveway was smoking. Thankfully, we knew to keep a fire extinguisher close.

We ended up with going without turkey that Thanksgiving. I think we had burgers instead.

—Jonathan Leichliter, executive chef of Justice Snow’s TWICE in my cooking career I have had to wrestle dogs for both turkey and roast beef stolen from atop lavish Thanksgiving tables. At one point, a dog replaced the poultry leg in his mouth for my hand. A stare-down ensued. I won, but the moral of the story: Please lock your overzealous dogs in the bedroom during Thanksgiving dinner!

—Allen Domingos, co-owner of Epicure Catering Amanda Rae is thankful for a loving family, badass Aspen friends, healthy(ish) knees, and a promising winter forecast. Happy holidays! amandaraewashere@gmail.com

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by MICHELLE LOCKE for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MAKE IT 2 ounces vodka 3/4 ounce lemon juice 1/2 ounce cinnamon syrup* 1/2 ounce half-and-half 1 egg white 1 tablespoon pumpkin butter.

Combine all in a cocktail shaker.

Shake for 30 seconds, then add ice and shake for another 10 seconds.

Strain into an ice-filled tumbler and top with a pinch of nutmeg and a lemon wheel. * For the syrup, gently simmer 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar and four or five cinnamon sticks for 10 minutes. Strain and cool

PUMPKIN FIZZ Lattes get all the pumpkin spice buzz, but wouldn’t it be more fun to get those flavors — and that buzz — in a Thanksgiving cocktail? It sure sounds like a great way to get your seasonal drinking on, but don’t grab the pumpkin puree just yet. For some in the mixology world, the first rule of pumpkin cocktails is that it’s not really about the pumpkin. Duncan Wedderburn, bar manager at San Francisco’s Palm House, likes to stay seasonal when creating fall libations. In the Pumpkin Fizz, for example, Wedderburn spikes simple syrup with cinnamon. “I think spices, apples, cinnamon and, of course, pumpkin,” he says. “Try infusing a spirit with fall fruits or making a spiced syrup. It’s a surprisingly easy and fun process.”

VOYAGES

ESCAPE ARTIST | INDIANA

by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY

ON THE SCENE: INDIANAPOLIS “INDIANAPOLIS.” Admittedly, this answer to the question, “Where are you off to next?” didn’t garnish the oohs and aahs of say Paris or a warm Caribbean island. Instead questioners’ heads tilted, like a puppy trying to understand its master’s voice speaking English.

Indianapolis has not been on the travel or dining agendas for many, except for AMIEE WHITE those there for work BEAZLEY or sporting events. But that’s about to change.

Indianapolis, home of Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Kurt Vonnegut and John Green, is as unexpected as it is up-and-coming. It’s affordable, clean and friendly. This is also what attracts exciting, young chefs to the city.

I spent most of my time in Indy on a bike — either on the Pacers Bikeshare (more than 50,000) or with a two-wheeled tour of the city with Active Indy Tours. Indianapolis is an incredibly bike-friendly city, with hundreds of miles of trail in city boundaries and on the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, which is dotted with public art installations along the way.

In addition to new biking routes and lanes, the city has invested millions into 500 cars across 200 stations of Blue Indy, its electric car-sharing program — which the city hopes will one day be the largest in the country.

Both the bike share and electric-car share have made it easier for visitors

and residents to be car-free while visiting Indy and getting, in my case, from one great restaurant to another.

This past June, the Indy culinary scene was elevated to a national audience when Milktooth, the year-old restaurant focusing on, surprisingly, brunch, was recognized for its owner and chef Jonathan Brooks, who was named one of Food & Wine magazine’s Best New Chefs in 2015.

Milktooth shook things up in Indy, not just because the food was so forward thinking, but that it refused to look back. No substitutions, not salt and pepper or damn ketchup packets — just eat it as the chef, who is almost always there behind the old school counter, intended.

So eat it I did, including a complex and delicious roasted shitake and smoked Swiss cheese Dutch baby with shaved fennel, radish salad and pickled mustard seeds. With Brooks behind the kitchen, and servers who are engaged and know every last thing about each dish, it was a casual, exciting and surprising gas-stationturned restaurant. Hey, if you don’t like eating this way, there’s a lot of other places to go in Indy that are traditional eggs and toast.

Speaking of toast, the bread served here, as just about everywhere else, is expertly baked at Amelia’s, down the street from Milktooth on Virginia Avenue, where two more of Indy’s best new restaurants — Bluebeard and Rook — are located, with more on the way. (Rook actually reopens

in January 2016 in a new, larger space on Virginia Avenue; its old space on Virginia has been taken over by The Spice Box.) I could go on and on with the seriously cool food scene on Virginia Avenue and through this neighborhood called Fletcher Place (which borders another up-andcoming ’hood called Fountain Square), but the culinary and youthful energy of Indy actually permeates throughout.

From new Mass Avenue hangouts to a century-old German beer hall, I can’t over-emphasize how nice it was to be in a place where restaurateurs, distillers, brewers and chefs where creating from within their own communities. Most of them grew up in here, moved away to places like Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, only to find that when the time came and they felt the urge to start their own thing, the prices, the produce and the people beckoned them home. And so I followed, from Tinker Street for pan-roasted walleye with roasted root veggies, spinach and cider beurre-blanc, to Public Greens situated delightfully on the Monon Trail in Broad Ripple for a variety of vegan salads (although the cheddar chive waffle, fried chicken thighs, maple syrup and grilled pear will be on my next order) and to the overly indulgent, straight out of a girl’s dream The Cake-Bake Shop for

Parisian-inspired desserts, cakes and of course, Champagne.

Did I mention I was, thankfully, on a bike for all — well, most — of this trip?

The rest of my time in Indy was spent visiting the Indy Hall of Fame Racing Museum, throwing duckpin bowling balls in a restored hall, and enjoying nearby bucolic farms and creameries that open their doors (and onsite restaurants) for tastings.

Of course, I couldn’t leave Indy without a Sunday afternoon football game at Lucas Oil Stadium. It was warm enough for the retractable roof to open, adding to the downdraft that so notoriously ruffles the feathers of opposing quarterbacks — in this case Peyton Manning.

As the stadium sang the national anthem in unison, belting out their loyalty in the “Crossroads of America,” where dreams of chefs, of farmers and of the people who have come here from around the country and the world to make this their home, it was hard not to fall for and believe in Indy.

Mikaela Shiffrin targets World Cup points in Aspen

BY DALE STRODE

M

ikaela Shiffrin knows World Cup ski racing, and she knows mathematics.

She even knows fractions — fractions of a second.

A native of Vail and the three-time World Cup slalom overall champion, Shiffrin also is accomplished in the higher algebra of FIS points and World Cup seedings.

The rising leader of the U.S. Ski Team will have the chance to multiply her World Cup points in Aspen with the addition of an extra World Cup slalom on the Aspen Winternational schedule this year.

Mikaela Shiffrin kisses the women’s World Cup slalom trophy, at the World Cup finals in Meribel, France, on March 21, 2015.

When snow and weather conditions in Levi, Finland, forced cancellation of a scheduled World Cup slalom, FIS officials reached out to Aspen, which already was set to host a giant slalom and a slalom on Aspen Mountain over Thanksgiving weekend.

Aspen reached back with a happy handshake to serve as host of another World Cup slalom, the one originally scheduled for Finland.

The Aspen World Cup race schedule now calls for the giant slalom Friday, Nov. 27, on the Lift 1A side of Aspen Mountain.

The first slalom of the Aspen Winternational weekend will be Saturday, Nov. 28.

The second slalom — Shiffrin’s multiplier — will be Sunday, Nov. 29, also at the Lift 1A venue, and will feature grandstand spectator seating again this year.

“We are honored to be able to support the racers and our partners at the U.S. Ski Team and FIS by hosting this additional race,” said John Rigney, vice president of sales and events for the Aspen Skiing Co. “This is a testament to the crews prepping our storied race venue, and everyone involved with the race, including our volunteers.”

Rigney said the additional World Cup race adds momentum to Aspen’s early opening, not to mention the international television coverage that will showcase the local snow conditions.

The races on U.S. snow also give the Americans an opportunity to continue the momentum that Shiffrin established in the first World Cup giant

slalom of the year in Soelden, Austria.

Shiffrin finished second in the Soelden GS, just behind winner Federica Brignone of Italy.

Tina Weirather of Liechtensten finished third in Austria.

All three will race in Aspen, along with Eva-Maria Brem of Austria, the 2014 winner of the Aspen Winternational GS. Meanwhile, back to the math.

underwent surgery, including surgery on her patella tendon.

• Aspen favorite Tina Maze of Slovenia, the overall World Cup champion in 2013, is sitting out the race season to prepare for the following season and future world championships and Olympics. Maze is a two-time Olympic gold medalist.

• Nicole Hosp of Austria, who won the slalom in Aspen last year, retired after last season. She will not return to Aspen to defend her slalom title.

• Austria’s Kathrin Zettel, who has won more medals in Aspen than any other female ski racer, retired. She finished second in the GS and third in the slalom at Aspen Mountain a year ago. She concluded her career with 10 medals in Aspen World Cup events.

• Julia Mancuso of the U.S. Ski Team underwent hip surgery last week, and she will miss the Aspen races and the entire World Cup season.

Even with those subtractions, there will be plenty of competition to battle Shiffrin for World Cup points in Aspen.

Sweden’s Frida Hansdotter finished on the podium in second place in the slalom last year. She’ll be back along with the ever-powerful Austrian team.

FRIDAY, NOV. 27 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Sponsor Village open, Gondola Plaza 10 a.m. Race start: Giant Slalom Run 1, Strawpile 11:45 a.m. Live music, prize giveaways & kids race, finish area 1 p.m. Race start: Giant Slalom Final, Strawpile 4:30-5:30 p.m. Public wax room tours, Mountain Chalet parking garage 5:30-7:30 p.m. World Cup Kick-Off Party: U.S. Ski Team Autograph Signing (5:30–6:30 p.m.) and Slalom Public Bib Draw (6:45–7 p.m.), Limelight Hotel

ABOVE RIGHT: Austria’s Eva-Maria Brem, who won the giant slalom in Aspen last year, will be back for the 2015 Aspen Winternational. .ABOVE LEFT: Italy’s Federica Brignone, center, celebrates her victory with runner-up Mikaela Shiffrin and third-place finisher Tina Weirather after the World Cup women’s giant slalom in Soelden, Austria, in October.

BELOW: Mikaela Shiffrin practices the slalom course on Aspen Mountain Friday, Nov. 20.

Shiffrin, who will turn 21 later this race season, led the slalom in Aspen last year after the first run. But a midcourse bobble on the second run sent her to fifth place and kept her off the podium.

Shiffrin had finished sixth in the Aspen GS in 2014.

The Vail ski racer opened the new season this year with a second-place finish three weeks ago at the World Cup giant slalom in Soelden, Austria.

In her fifth season on the World Cup tour, Shiffrin has 25 podium finishes and 15 World Cup victories. Fourteen wins came in slalom; one in GS. The winner of the Olympic gold medal in slalom at the Sochi Winter Olympics, Shiffrin also has two golds from the world championships — including last year at Beaver Creek. Shiffrin was the youngest Olympic slalom champion in history (18 years, 345 days).

She finished fifth in the World Cup overall standings last year.

Part of her competition in Aspen will come from fellow Vail ski racer Lindsey Vonn, who is scheduled to race GS on Aspen Mountain.

Vonn, returning from an ankle injury, is the most successful female ski racer of all time with 67 World Cup wins.

The official schedule for Aspen Winternational calls for giant slalom racing to start at 10 a.m.

Friday, Nov. 27, followed by the second run at 1 p.m.

The first slalom race Saturday, Nov. 28, will start at 10:15 a.m. with the second run at 1:15 p.m.

Sunday’s slalom will start at 10 a.m.

Sunday’s second run will start at 1 p.m.

The trio of races will be the last World Cup races in Aspen for a year and a half.

Aspen will not host women’s World Cup races next November.

Rather, Aspen next will host the 2017 World Cup Finals in March/April 2017 featuring the top men and women racing in all disciplines. dstrode@aspentimes.com

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

by MAY SELBY

WEDDING BELLS

MAY SELBY

CHRISTINE ANNE BENEDETTI and David Allen Cook of Snowmass married in Mexico on May 9. Christine works at the Aspen Historical Society and David is a coowner of Aspen 82.

Their beach ceremony took place on the East Cape of Los Cabos with cocktails and dinner afterward in downtown San Jose. “After Hurricane Odile hit Baja last fall, we were worried, but the peninsula has rebounded beautifully and is better than ever,” said Christine. “It was the ‘Every 10-Year Swell’ that came in a week before the wedding that made beach conditions interesting, but put smiles on all of the surfers in the group.”

The happy couple honeymooned in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Uruguay.

Summer Leonard and Jeff Flack’s summer wedding took place at T-Lazy-7 Guest Ranch on Aug. 7.

Among the poignant toasts made in their honor was one by Summer’s maid of honor, Ilia Lopez. “From mountain biking to hiking to all things galaxy, you two complete each other,” she read. “Every once in a while, two people meet and you know instantly the stars align.”

The couple lives in Aspen. Summer is a nurse at Aspen Internal Medicine and Heritage Park and Jeff works at The Little Nell.

After a ski season of enjoying El Nino snow on the slopes, the Flacks will be honeymooning “somewhere warm” next spring.

Jamie Cundiff and Jeffrey Werner had a mid-mountain wedding at the Merry-GoRound on Aspen Highlands, where Jeff has been the resident caretaker for five years and the couple calls home. Jamie works as an educator at Aspen Center for Environmental Studies “It was so meaningful for us to exchange vows on our ‘front porch’ and share a bit of our unique mountainside life with family and dear friends,” said the bride. “Fortunately, the weather was glorious! I walked down the aisle to ‘Wildflowers’ by Tom Petty, we had our first dance to Led Zeppelin, and guests left with CDs of our fave songs that looked like minivinyl records.”

The newlyweds escaped to Maui immediately following the wedding and spent a week sipping Mai Tais in the sun and exploring the diverse landscapes of the island.

Eliza Greenman and Andrew Burlingame of Snowmass had an East Coast wedding in Rhode Island on Sept. 25.

Eliza is the marketing director for Aspen Center for Environmental Studies and Andrew is a supervisor for William H. Baker Construction.

After eight years together, Andrew and Eliza returned to their hometown to tie the knot with almost 200 friends and family from near and far. They were married in her childhood church (where her parents were also married) and then headed to the Greenman family

home for a backyard reception where highlights included toasts from the brides’ father and both of their sisters, a live band and an ice cream bar. For their honeymoon, the happy couple headed to Kauai, Hawaii.

Kalyn Bean and Al Fiandaca of Aspen tied the knot on Nantucket in Massachusetts, on Oct. 3. Kalyn works at Rocky Mountain Connections and Al can be found behind the bar at Pinons Restaurant.

They chose to get married on Nantucket “because the island is a special place to both of us,” said the bride who is originally from New Hampshire while the groom is from Massachusetts.

“We were blown away by the love and dedication from our Aspen friends and how many traveled the long distance to celebrate the weekend with us,” Kalyn continued.

“Although the weather leading up to the wedding was less than perfect with crazy winds and intense rain from a Nor’easter AND Hurricane Joaquin, it did not affect the party.

Flights and ferries to and from the island were canceled, but we were surrounded by our family and friends and the wedding was more amazing than we could have ever imagined.”

For their honeymoon, they traveled to Tucker’s Point, Bermuda.

Congratulations to all the newlyweds!

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE

THE ART OF SKIING THE ASPEN SKIING CO.’S ticket offices have transformed into de facto art factories in the last few weeks, printing Takashi Murakami pieces and handing them out to skiers as the winter season begins.

Murakami — fine art world star, best known to the public at large for his cover art on Kanye West’s “Graduation” and designs for Luis Vuitton bags — is the most prominent artist to sign on for the Skico’s lift ticket partnership with the Aspen Art Museum, now in its 10th year.

Four of his exuberant, psychedelic animated images – rendered in his signature superflat style – are on this year’s lift tickets. My season pass features smiling, open-mouthed flower characters posing together for a crowd shot, with two anime-styled creatures superimposed over the happy gaggle. Another features similar day-glo flowers all by themselves.

There’s one with a toothy purple mouse-like character gazing outward and one with a dog sitting in closed-eyed contentment on a globe under a bluebird sky.

The museum approaches the lift ticket designs much like its gallery exhibitions, in that they’re typically the result of years-long relationship-building with artists and that they seek diversity in terms of gender, geography, medium and content. Museum CEO Heidi Zuckerman has known Murakami since she exhibited one of his artists during her time at the Berkeley Art Museum, and invited him to design this year’s tickets. Last winter, her museum screened Murakami’s film “Jellyfish Eyes” and hosted its cast of creatures at a playful, kid-friendly event.

“It’s through a long-standing mutual respect that the invitation was very well-received,” she told me.

The program brings a new artist’s work to the ski pass annually. Los Angeles-based artist Yutaka Sone opened the series with a painted ski scene in 2005-06. The 201415 season featured Anne Collier’s photographs of “Ain’t No Mountain

High Enough” records. Other memorable entries have included David Shrigley’s quirky captioned line drawings that featured images like a stick figure moving up the angle of a triangle and the text “YOU’RE DOING OKAY” in 2012-13 and Jim Hodges’ text work “Give More Than You Take” in 2008-09.

They featured just one image per year until Mark Grotjahn raised the bar with five for the 2011-12 season.

Murakami submitted nine lift ticket designs.

“We knew we couldn’t use that many, but his excitement is captured in the four that we chose,” says Zuckerman.

When the options came in, Zuckerman brought them to Skico execs Mike Kaplan and David Perry, then sought input from managing partners Jim and Paula Crown (herself a multi-disciplinary visual artist). Over the years, the Skico has grown more involved in the ticket art process and expanded the “Art in Unexpected Places” program to

include on-mountain installations.

“I think there’s a broader sense of ownership and participation than there’s ever been,” Zuckerman says.

In recent years, as technology has changed and automated ticket scanners have advanced, most skiers leave their passes in their pockets and don’t wear them on the outside of their clothing. So, unfortunately, we’re unlikely to witness slopes filled with Murakami’s happy creatures dangling from everybody’s coat zippers. On the bright side,

everybody gets a little Murakami and they can do whatever they want with it (I’ve affixed mine to the bag where I keep all my gear). And a selection of Murakami pieces will be added to the “lap maps” on chairlifts on all four mountains this winter — a first for the “Art in Unexpected Places” program — so you won’t be able to miss out on his fanciful visions. atravers@aspentimes.com

INTELLIGENT EXERCISE

by ANDREW TRAVERS

BOOK REVIEW

‘THE SPIRIT BIRD: STORIES’ “THE SPIRIT BIRD: STORIES,” winner of the Drue Heinz Literature Prize, is Kent Nelson’s latest collection of short fiction.

Nelson’s stories feature diverse protagonists — a young single mother, a rabble-rousing Southern lawyer, a restless empty-nester — as well as an unusually vivid sense of place — the chile fields of New Mexico, the resort towns of Colorado, suburban Seattle — that establishes the land as an essential character in the stories. The people in “Spirit Bird” are trying to break out of their lives, and they share one major trait: dissatisfaction. They’re exploring, pushing boundaries, looking seriously at their own lives and asking, “Really? What now?”

In “Race,” Hakim, a Kansan of Egyptian heritage, is a glassblower living in Colorado. He is middle-aged, divorced, misses his daughter, uses his talent to make tourist baubles, and is viewed with suspicion by many locals even though he’s been a member in good standing of

NOTEWORTHY ‘The Spirit Bird: Stories’ Kent Nelson 318 pages, $24.95 University of Pittsburgh Press, 2014

the local chamber of commerce for 15 years. After Hakim collapses during a half-marathon and is revived, strangers seek him out — What did he see? What did he learn? “I learned how easy it was to die, but how hard it was to go back to the beginning,” he tells them.

In “La Mer de l’Ouest,” Scott Atherton is a white South Carolina lawyer whose new clients, a black couple, want a straw buyer for a house in an exclusive white enclave.

Atherton is a liberal in a town where he’s tolerated by the local conservative establishment — until he crosses a line and becomes an activist. His wife accuses him of “glamorizing criminal behavior” but he defends himself by replying, “The Boston Tea Party was a crime. So was Rosa Parks’ getting on that bus. … Did we not have an obligation to resist what we thought was evil?”

Adult siblings with childhood grievances spend a weekend divvying up their father’s

possessions in “Seeing Desirable Things,” a scenario guaranteed to end in catastrophe.

Allen, contemplating birds on the beach in the aftermath, stares at one and wonders: “How did it know of danger? ... How did it know where to go in winter, when to leave, how to navigate?” Would that we humans could know those things, too.

Birds in this collection represent the self in perpetual motion, forever seeking.

Lauren, the birder in the title story, asks what might be the question that underlies the volume: “When the spirit is always on the move, how can it settle?” Nelson seems to suggest that the answer is found in seeking dignity and a measure of social justice — doing your part to create an even field on which to play the game.
