THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
with JOHN COLSON
Any bets on how a war in Syria might turn out? I SEE THAT WHILE I’ve been traipsing around the country visiting various relatives and friends, that selfsame country seems to be preparing to go to war in Syria, and over justifications as cloudy and unexplained as the last time we went through this. My first thought, to paraphrase Ronald Reagan’s famous statement in a 1980 presidential debate with Jimmy Carter, was, “There they go again,” followed by a moan of disbelief. When I’m on vacation, I tend to stay away from newspapers, televisions, even the computer, except for those times when I really must sit down and crank out this column. I’ve never really given this tendency much thought, other than to acknowledge it and let it have its way with me. I’d much rather watch the hummingbird at the feeder attached to my sister’s window, and marvel at how quickly it does everything, than try to decipher why it is that every time I take a vacation something bad seems to happen in the world while I’m away. For instance, while I was watching the hummingbird go about its business, it finished sipping at the ruby-red feeder and whipped away, doing another kind of business as it flew, the kind of business that all animals do to rid themselves of waste. It startled me, this tiny squirt of elimination, and got me thinking about all the waste we humans have dumped on this ol’ Earth. Our waste, however, is not something the Earth knows how to process back into the cycle of life that has evolved over the eons, at least that’s how it seems to me. Instead, it is building up into some kind of vast overburden of garbage, steel, chemicals and spent nuclear rods, which at some point undoubtedly will overwhelm us in one way or another. And what’ll we do then? Dunno, do you? Anyway, it was with some surprise that I learned from my spousal unit that we are getting set to take a military role in the ongoing civil war in Syria. Or is it simply that we are going to start sending them pea-shooters and pop-guns, as one
Republican war monger complained (that was Sen. John McCain, for those who need to know)? Whichever turns out to be the case, it doesn’t really matter, as the signs are all there for a George W. Bushstyle runup to an Iraq-like scenario. This time, though, the call to arms is based on a none-too-clear alarm about the use of chemical weapons by Syrian President Bashar Assad against the stalwart rebels who have been waging the civil war. The problem here is, there is no evidence that I can find showing the actual use of chemical weapons, just as there was no evidence, real evidence, that Saddam Hussein possessed and was preparing to use “weapons of mass destruction” back in 2001-02. Once again, what we get is vague reference to “intelligence” that something is going on, unending expostulations about “humanitarian reasons” for stepping in, and admonishments that we should just trust the government to do the right thing here. But if you look a little deeper, we also get indications that this is once again about petrochemicals, as in the basis of the world’s corporate profit machine, and the need to keep Russian hands off the warm-water ports that might permit the Russians to gain hegemony in the Middle East and restrict our own access to said petrochemicals. This time, it appears, the prize is a monstrous natural-gas field beneath the Persian Gulf, claimed by both Iran and the tiny, pro-Western republic of Qatar. Guess whose side we’ll be on when the smoke clears from an invasion of Syria? Not Iran’s, I think I can safely say. The tricky question, though, is when the smoke might clear. Remember the rosy picture painted by Bush, et. al., in the runup to the Iraq war? How our soldiers would be greeted by cheering throngs of Iraqis anxious to be “liberated,” and the war would be over in a matter of weeks? We all saw how that one worked out. Any bets on the probable outcome of an invasion of Syria, should one occur?

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
with STEWART OKSENHORN
POPULAR MUSIC the ever-popular Snowmass Village Free Concert Series, an institution for two decades, took a dip last year, with acts that were either too old or too unknown. The series makes amends this year, with a powerhouse lineup of the roots styles that have traditionally gone over well on Fanny Hill. The series opens Thursday, June 20 with an old favorite, bluesrockers the Freddy Jones Band who, though from Chicago, more or less launched their career in the early ’90s with numerous appearances in the Roaring Fork Valley. June 27 brings a treat: the Dunwells, a rising British folk-rock band that doesn’t figure to be playing free shows much longer. Beyond that it’s one highlight after another: first-rate Louisiana bluesman Tab Benoit; Colorado bluegrassers Mountain Standard Time; keyboardist Robert Walter & his groove band, 20th Congress; and in a much-needed return of zydeco to Fanny Hill, the great C.J. Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band. The series runs through Aug. 15 every Thursday, except C.J. Chenier’s show, on Friday, July 5.
Chicago blues-rock group the Freddy Jones Band opens the Snowmass Village Free Summer Concert Series on Thursday, June 20.
CURRENTEVENTS
The duo of Charlie Musselwhite, left, and Ben Harper plays Saturday, June 22 at the Benedict Music Tent, as part of the Jazz Aspen June Festival.
THEATER OVER HER FIVE years heading Theatre Aspen, Paige Price has done a commendable job of putting pieces in place: finding actors and directors, building an organization and most notably, transforming the Theatre Aspen venue and, with the help of the City of Aspen, the grounds surrounding it. Now it’s time for Price to demonstrate her artistic vision. Theatre Aspen’s summer season opens this week with the musical “Les Misérables,” the biggest production in the organization’s 30-year history, with 22 actors and full use of the intimate space. Directing is Mark Martino, who Price has tapped to lead past hits including “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” and “Little Shop of Horrors.” Price, who has done scant directing in Aspen, goes into full creative mode, directing the family favorite “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” (opening July 11). Rounding out the summer schedule is the comedy “Fully Committed” (opening July 5), which has one actor, Matt Bailey, playing 36 characters trying to accommodate the demands of diners at a four-star restaurant.
FESTIVALS NO, YOU HAVEN’T got things upside down. It’s Jazz Aspen Snowmass who has turned things topsy-turvy. Jazz Aspen’s June Festival, which usually emphasizes jazz and pop, rocks this year. The festival (Friday through Sunday, Benedict Music Tent) opens with soft-rock icon Jackson Browne, then turns things up. The duo of guitarist Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite, who this spring released “Get Up!” — an album of muscular blues-rock — performs, followed by the mighty, 11-piece soul-rock group, the Tedeschi Trucks Band. After a week’s break, the festival concludes with the modern standards orchestra Pink Martini, on July 6. For more of a pop feel, see Jazz Aspen’s Labor Day Festival lineup, featuring Jason Mraz, Keith Urban and Journey. And where exactly is the jazz? Try Jazz Aspen’s JAS Café series at the Little Nell, which opens Wednesday, June 26, with a double bill of singer-guitarist Raul Midón and vocalist Karrin Allyson. The series features nine acts and runs through mid-August.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES
FROM the VAULT
by TIM WILLOUGHBY
LEFT: The new Times office housed the Mother Lode restaurant in the early 1960s. BELOW: When the Times first moved to its Main Street location, the only other building on the block was the Hotel Jerome.
OLD BUILDINGS, NEW BEGINNINGS the move of The Aspen Times from Main to Hyman marks
a centennial event: The newspaper office first opened in 1881 and later moved to its Main Street location in 1912, where it remodeled, expanded, and adapted over the next 100 years. Moving a business from one location to another honors an Aspen tradition; to occupy the same location for more than a decade is rare. THE MAIN STREET site was a lonely location for many years. The Times building was the only structure on the block other than the Jerome. The structure served the paper’s needs for decades, but by the 1960s enlargement was necessary. An addition to the back housed printing machinery, followed by an expansion to the side that made room for the KSNO radio studio. Finding your way inside the building became similar to navigating a labyrinth. The Times’ new Hyman Avenue location has been home to multiple businesses and many physical makeovers. Proximity to the Wheeler distinguished the prime location during the mining era as well as during Aspen’s 1950s rebirth as a ski town. The Shaw family owned many of Aspen’s buildings and houses.

In the 1950s she teamed up with one of Aspen’s spokespersons about the town’s history — Lena Van Loon — and opened a museum in the Shaw’s Hyman Street building.

history and its more flamboyant tales. Aspen’s 1940s-50s ski pioneers purchased downtown buildings and converted them to shops and restaurants. Lacking capital, they made only minor improvements: a new heating system, a coat of tar on the roof, electrical upgrades, and a fresh coat of paint inside and out.
When Mead Metcalf opened his Crystal Palace restaurant/musical review in 1957, he ushered the building into modern times. After he upgraded the plumbing and created a kitchen, another restaurant took over when Metcalf moved down the block in 1960. The new restaurant, The Mother Lode, survived but a short time; however, the name stuck as the preferred building tag. Bell Mountain Sports replaced the restaurant later in the 1960s, the first of decades of retail store debuts. Here’s hoping The Aspen Times will remain in place throughout the upcoming century, where it will continue to chronicle the town’s changes. 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.

WINEINK
WORDS to DRINK BY
PRETTY IN PINK IF THERE IS AN official color for summer it is surely pink. Soft pink sunsets, hot pink bikinis and pink rosé wines all are staples of this, the best of seasons. It seems the folks over at The Little Nell share my affection for pink as they have launched a Monday offering to the drinking public affording them the opportunity to consume the wines of summer at a bargain price. Sit down for lunch on the patio at The Nell’s element 47 on a Monday between 12:30 and 2 p.m., order lunch, and KELLY J. HAYES for $12 you’ll get what they call a “bottomless” pour of rosé. In my dictionary “bottomless” means, “as much as you would like.” But if you don’t get your fill, or if you want to give it another go after a nap on a Monday afternoon (sounds good, right?), head to the Ajax Tavern, where on Mondays between 6 and 10 in the evening the same $12 bottomless pour is offered with a dinner entrée. Now in some cases the all-youcan-eat or drink for one price approach means that you’ll get quantity with a reduction in quality. But there is no way that Carlton (Aspen’s newest master sommelier), Jonathan, Sabato, Chubby, or any of The Nell’s fine wine folks, are going to scrimp on the good juice. It is simply not in their DNA to give guests anything less than a great experience. Even if you sip just one glass, at $12 you will have been treated to a peak pink experience. Rosé is suddenly the hottest wine on the planet. While rosé from the Old World has historically tended to be drier (less sweet) than those from the New World, in this day and age, where winemakers are exploring all manner of winemaking techniques, that is changing. Made just about everywhere on the planet (the Italians call it Rosato, the Portuguese and
Spanish, Rosado), and from just about every red grape (Grenache, Syrah, Trousseau, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir and about a thousand others), rosé is accessible, abundant and affordable. Accessible because rosé is not a complicated wine. It is fresh, cool and easy to drink. The flavors generally are light and floral on the nose. The alcohol is not high and the complexity is more a paperback novel than a Tolstoy tome. Sip and repeat, and generally you will understand what is in the glass. Affordable because it doesn’t take a lot of money to make, once you have great grapes. Rosé is meant to be drunk young so there is no need for extensive and expensive aging. The best rosé is made simply and direct. Pressed, bled or macerated, the juice ferments, the wine is bottled and it is sent out within scant months of harvest. Abundant because last year’s record grape harvest on the West Coast has brought a plethora of rosé to wine shops across the land. Lots of grapes gave winemakers the opportunity to make lots of wine and that meant that there was a chance to do some things they might not do in a tighter harvest season — rosé, chief amongst them. This year you will see wine lists that feature nearly as many bottles of rosé as they do white wines. This mirrors French drinkers who actually drink more rosé than they do white wine. And it’s not just for ladies any more. As American wine drinkers become more sophisticated, exposed to different wine styles and more tuned to subtlety than power, rosé will become, I believe, a staple of our wine scene.

SOMM’S SUGGESTION Sabato Sagaria at The Nell is also a fan of pink wines — those that fizz and those that don’t. He supplied a list of the following wines that will be featured in the Pink Monday specials at element 47 and the Ajax Tavern as we cruise through the summer. (In your Pink Cadillac?)
Here are the wines that will be featured at element 47: • 2012 VIÑA SASTRE TEMPRANILLO RIBEIRA DEL DUERO, SPAIN This is an extremely well-known producer from the Ribeira del Duero region of Spain. This opulent rosé is a product of the free run juice of their top cuvee.
• 2012 BROC CELLARS GRENACHE BLEND SANTA YNEZ VALLEY This full-bodied rosé is sourced from great cool-climate vineyards in the central coast of California. Produced by Broc cellars, their emphasis on Rhone varietals definitely makes them a shoe-in for producing great southern French style rosés.
And at Ajax Tavern: • AMEZTOI RUBENTIS ROSE GETARIAKO TXAKOLINA PAIS VASCO, SPAIN A tongue-twister from the Basque region of Spain, this blend of both white and red grapes has a bit of a fizzy quality to it. Perfect with spicy foods. If you can spell it correctly in the Basque manner after drinking a bottle, it’s free. • WHISPERING ANGEL Bordering on iconic, this just barely pink wine will be the subject of a future column.

FOOD MATTERS
ON TO THE NEXT ONE
FROM BEGINNING TO END, THIS YEAR’S FOOD & WINE CLASSIC WAS A MEMORABLE SPLASH OF PARTIES, STAR-STUDDED CHEF DINNERS AND A SEMINAR OR TWO THROWN IN FOR GOOD LUCK
YES, FOOD & WINE is fun. Yes, it is definitely my favorite weekend of the year. But it’s also a heckuva lot of work. Boo-freaking-hoo, right? Here’s a rundown of my favorite discoveries and experiences of the weekend:
WAKING UP WITH GOOSE ISLAND
THERE ARE many events at the Food & AMIEE WHITE Wine Classic outside BEAZLEY of the tents, but none was more thoughtfully prepared than Wednesday morning’s first-ever Goose Island Beer Breakfast led by Goose Island educator and “beer chick” extraordinaire Christina Perozzi, at the beautiful Limelight Lodge rooftop courtyard. It was particularly early in the morning — 7:30 to be exact — to be drinking beer, but the selections served by the Chicago craft brewer, perhaps best known for its smooth and subtle Matilda, a Belgian-style Pale Ale, were incredibly drinkable and dare I say, desirable, to consume so soon after sunrise. Three beers were featured this morning – Sofi Paradisi, a Belgianstyle farmhouse ale with bright citrus notes and a tart finish; Pepe Nero, a mahogany Belgium farmhouse ale with black pepper finish; and the outstanding Bourbon Co. Brand Coffee Stout, a stout featuring rich, roasted flavors then barrel aged in bourbon barrels from Heaven Hill Distillery. (The latter received a perfect 100 rating by Beer Advocate and is currently rated No. 6 on its list of Top 100 American Beers.) Each beer was delightfully paired with dishes by Limelight Lodge’s chef de cuisine Joe Gonyo, including a nicely balanced elk hash with poached eggs and just a touch of Hollandaise to add creaminess, and beer batter waffle made with Goose Island Summertime Ale, caramel ice cream and candied bacon sprinkles. Mix in a perfect view of Independence Pass over the white tents in Wagner Park and the morning was darn close to perfect, indeed. I love to discover new beers, and

BIG WHITE TENTS
THE GRAND Tasting tents were even more impressive than ever this year. There were many new vendors and an increasing number of exhibitors in both the food and spirits categories. All of which continue to raise the bar in presentation, education and offerings. Woody Creek Distillers made a splash both inside and outside the tent (full disclosure, I assist in marketing with WCD), capturing the attention of lots of spirits drinkers and even a few from Poland and Texas. I loved the taste of VeeV, a spirit distilled from Acai berries. But a word of caution to owners, please don’t compare your spirit with SkinnyGirl! It sends real spirit enthusiasts the other way running. Beyond the crazy associations, VeeV, shaken with fresh herbs, is a delightful smooth spirit that I will be purchasing this to sip this summer.
GLOBAL EATS
I ALSO LOVED the food offerings from Peru, Viceroy Snowmass’ new restaurant Screen Door (more on this to come), and everything that came off the plates from the Best New Chefs. Speaking of Best New Chefs, what a great selection of young chefs this year. The fete thrown at the top of Aspen Mountain in their honor on Saturday night was absolute perfection with dishes from Thomas Keller, John Besh and Daniel Boulud showing us the possible path to brilliance for these young men and women.
NOW CLOSE YOUR EYES
MY FAVORITE seminar of the weekend was the blind tasting seminar with Richard Betts. Betts, a dear friend of Aspen and former MS at The Little Nell, hosted three panelists, including current wine director and master sommelier Jonathan Pullis, to break down and identify six different wines. It is always fascinating to hear what these somms know about a wine by color, nose, even the experience they gain from the back of the throat. Masterful. And yes, our Johnathan
Pullis nailed it. A mind-blowing, fun experience. If you want to understand wine like the experts do, look for Richard Betts’ new book “The Essential Scratch and Sniff Guide to Becoming a Wine Expert: Take a Whiff of That” coming to bookshelves this fall. In it is the incredibly handy wheel of wines of the world that helps commoners like me identify and pinpoint locations for every wine you sip.
BRING ON THE BACK FAT
THE WEEKEND closed on Sunday afternoon with judging Grand Cochon. I’ve attended this event for several years, but this was the first time I had the pleasure of being able to enjoy every offering from the 10 regional winners, as they competed for the Crown and title King or Queen of Porc. The winner for me, and the other judges including Michael Voltaggio, last year’s champ Jason Vincent, chef Andrew Zimmern and Claudine Pepin, was chef Adam Sobel from RN47 in San Francisco. Using a Berkshire hog from Jubilee Family farm, Sobel created a trio of pork dishes that told a story from beginning (Chiang Mai
Pork “Boners”) to the end (“The Return of Fat Elvis”) — think pork belly, peanut butter and bananas. But it was the middle, the second offering, of Fat Back “Mapo Tofu” that took the prize. Pork fat tofu you ask? Why yes! “The dish was a play on the classic Chinese dish ‘Mapo Tofu,’” explained the boyish Sobel. “I felt the need to incorporate fat into my menu as a highlighted item and played with the idea to make a ‘fat custard,’ but it morphed into a ‘tofu’ in texture. I used rendered pork fat, scented with five-spice, roasted garlic, pork stock, low and high Acyll Gellan. We set the tofu in little clay cups and topped it with the spicy schzeuan braise made of the pigs head, trotters and ground shoulder.” Now, folks, I will be drinking green juice for the next 10 days. Can’t wait for next year. Amiee White Beazley writes about dining, restaurants and food-related travel for the Aspen Times Weekly. She also works at Woody Creek Distillers in Basalt.

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS
NEED TO KNOW 8 ounces all-natural vanilla ice cream 1/2 ounce chocolate sauce 2 shots of Bonfire Coffee espresso 2 ounces whole milk 4 ounces ice
Blend well and serve!
BLENDED AFFOGATO AFTER A LONG weekend of tasting at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, we thought it was the perfect time to take break from the bottle. To quench our thirst, we asked the baristsas at Bonfire Coffee in Carbondale to whip us up a tasty treat — and the blended Affogato fit the bill perfectly. Affogato, which is Italian for “drowned,” is a coffee-based drink that takes the form of a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso. Of course you can always add a little kick, with a shot of Amaretto or other liqueur (we said we were taking a break, not giving up altogether). Gunilla Asher is taking a break from the bar scene, so we’re turning this page over to you. Email jmcgovern@aspentimes. com with what cocktails you’re mixing, what libations you’re drinking, what tastes have tempted your tastebuds and we’ll share them with our readers. Cheers!

VOYAGES
DESTINATION | CARBONDALE
by KELLY J. HAYES
EUCLID HOUSE B&B: A CARBONDALE REFUGE THERE ARE THOSE who consider luxury to be a cookie-cutter hotel with high-thread count sheets, a hopping late-night bar and a bigger TV screen than the one they have at home. Then there are those whose idea of luxury is a simple, peaceful place where a sense of community, a flowering garden and an escape from the details of day-to-day life are priceless. For the latter, Euclid House Bed & Breakfast is just right. Even for Aspenites, a getaway is sometimes in order. And for many, the closest yet most distinctly different destination is just down the road in Carbondale. But while road trips for dinner at Phat Thai, Allegria, or Town, to catch a flick at the great Crystal Theater, or for “First Friday” forays have long been worthwhile, the downside has been having to head back home once the journey was through. Longtime Roaring Fork Valley resident Kay Hagman changed all that when she opened the Euclid House Bed & Breakfast last year. Just two blocks south of Main Street (smack between the old Gordon Cooper Library, soon to be the James Surls Museum, and the new Carbondale Library), Euclid House is a perfect place to stay for those who don’t want their getaway to end too soon. “We love to have people down from Aspen,” Hagman said. “People just seem to love coming to Carbondale and being so close to everything that’s happening now in Old Town.” Indeed, Carbondale has become a popular destination in recent years. Events like Mountain Fair and the 5 Point Film Festival bring visitors who enjoy not just the laid-back vibe that defines the community, but also the outstanding outdoor, cultural and recreational activities. This year, the little mountain town of 6,000 residents won a place on Outside Magazine’s list of 2013’s “Best Towns Ever” and is in the offing for the top spot. On a quiet corner, Euclid House features two second-floor bedrooms

F
(a third bedroom is available if one books the whole house), several sitting rooms with period furnishings, and a country-style kitchen and dining area, all accented by Hagman’s collection of fine art. A pleasant backyard features a well-tended flower garden and vegetable garden, giant Chinese Elms and a view of Mount Sopris. Guests are greeted with wine and beer upon arrival (often enjoyed at the backyard table) and treated to an ample breakfast of fruits fresh from the Farmer’s Market, homemade granola and steaming hot coffee. Particularly unique, and of great pride to Hagman, is that Euclid House is a Nikken Wellness home. Naturally purifying air and water filtration systems, as well as naturally magnetized bedding on the wonderfully comfortable beds,

enhance both the health and wellness of guests during their stay. Built in the late 1880s and renovated several times, the house doesn’t feel kitschy at all. Rather, thanks to Hagman’s care, it is contemporary, welcoming and spotless, and fits perfectly with the friendly, low-key vibe of Carbondale’s creative community. Longtime local Brian Wexler says the sense
Jun e 20- 26, 2013
of community and camaraderie are what sets Carbondale apart. “You can go to Phat Thai and sit next to a skateboarder on one side and a rancher on the other, and both are talking to each other,” he said, emphasizing the point. Word has definitely gotten out to the “real world” that Carbondale is a great place for a visit. “We have had guests come for both extended
stays and quick overnights,” Hagman said. “They range from families who are coming to visit loved ones at the Jaywalkers Lodge to people attending Rod Stryker’s yoga workshops. Some people come here for the festivals, and then there are folks from around the world who are just touring the Rockies.” All smiles, she adds: “We think the people who come to Euclid House are just meant to be here.”

IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK … compiled by Jeanne McGovern
the purple building on Main Street is an Aspen icon. And to those of us who work — or who have worked — within its walls, this building is more than just a place to go from 9 to 5. It’s where we have learned the ropes OF COURSE THOSE of us who currently work for The Aspen Times aren’t the only ones who’ve called 310 E. Main St. home. The Times has been around for more than a century, moving from an office on Cooper Avenue to Main Street in the early 1900s, when the Aspen Democrat merged with The Aspen Times to become the Aspen Democrat-Times. In 1927, the paper again became The

Aspen Times, and has remained the same — and in the same location — until this very day. But next week, the Times is moving. Our building was sold to the owners of the Hotel Jerome last year (for what purpose, we don’t know yet), and the parent company of the Times found us a new home in the renovated Mother Lode building. Our new building, or at least its
façade, is still historic. And our offices will still be in downtown Aspen. But it’s going to be different, very different. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? It remains to be seen. Regardless, we will carry with us the memories of days and nights spent in the funky purple building on Main Street. Here are a few of those stories, collected from employees past and present, in their own words.

he “big purple building,” as my son Charlie calls it, has been my home away from home for the last 12 years. It is not the most glamorous place to work, but I never complained. I love my job, and especially the people and animals I work with. Sometimes it was more of a danger zone than an office, but that is kind of what gave it its appeal. If the building could talk it would have stories that would blow all of our minds. For me it is bittersweet to leave this piece of history and start anew two blocks away; so much of my life was created within these Aspen Times walls. I will be sure to take all of my memories and the stories of newspapers past with me as we start anew in the Mother Lode building. And even though we are upgrading our work environment, I am happy to let you know all of the quirky people are coming with us to keep creating new stories and new memories in our new work space. I am looking forward to it, even though I am sure going to miss the purple. — Gunilla Asher, publisher
I WILL NEVER forget the first time I visited The Aspen Times. I was new in town and looking for work as a journalist and met with Tim Mutrie, then sports editor, for coffee. After stints as editor at both a snowboarding and surf magazine in Southern California, I thought he’d be my best shot at doing some writing about the sports that I love. I was greeted by a sneezing, red-nosed Tim who was having yet another allergic reaction to the resident cat, Scoop. That damn cat loved to be by Tim. He’d curl up on top of his computer, underneath his desk, anywhere he could be close and Tim
tolerated Scoop the best he could, more out of respect than love. That was back when Mike Hagan was editor and Stewy and Chad and Jeanne comprised the editorial team, whose offices looked more like a college dorm with the odd-angled ceilings and slightly off-kilter floors, memorabilia tacked all over the walls, and of course the several pair of skis laying around. There were just as many dogs as derelicts, including my own beloved Psycho Paws, a canine criminal who once chewed the door to The Aspen Times when he was left there alone for too long one day when Tim went skiing. Tim says no one ever noticed the damage and that says everything about the kind of place it was — where free spirits could roam and maybe chew a door or two without restraint. It was a place where character was celebrated in every nook and cranny of that decrepit old building. I walked in thinking I’d write about sports and walked out with a weekly column about my life and love in Aspen that would continue to sustain me as a writer for over a decade. I will never forget my first visit to that old purple storefront on Main Street when I knew, like you only know when you’ve found a true love, that this was my place. — Ali Margo, columnist
WHEN GIL Rudawsky and I worked there in the early 1990s, the office upstairs at the back (where our desks were) was about 95 degrees in the summer (at least it felt that way). Pure misery. The owners finally put a huge cooling system up there, with an enormous fan. It was like sitting near an airplane propeller. And the thing sucked hot air out like a wind tunnel. Gil would take random pieces of paper and throw them up in the air.
The papers would float about, then, getting near the fan, go “whap” and get stuck to the office side of the fan. It was pretty funny. Kept us amused for hours. — Cam Burns, former reporter
DURING THE 1980s and 1990s, The Aspen Times building hosted more than its fair share of impromptu music events. Often, when the mega-weekly edition was finished for the week (the daily edition was just a pup then), writer/columnist Paul Andersen would team up with photographer extraordinaire Frank Martin for a quickie concert back in what was then the photo studio/ climbing wall. Martin, of course, went on to a legendary music and graphic arts career in the Roaring Fork Valley after his time as a black and white photographer for The Aspen Times. Andersen went on to become an author and longtime columnist for The Aspen Times. The duo’s big hit of the day was a road song depicting the tortuous drudgery of an Aspen commuter. The tune, which was recorded and enjoyed local radio play, was called “The Downvalley Shuffle.” The Aspen Times building has welcomed at least two winners of the Indianapolis 500 — Danny Sullivan and Eddie Cheever, both of whom were interviewed here. Both lived, for a time, in Aspen. The Times also has welcomed, on numerous occasions, race driver Janet Guthrie (of Aspen), the first women to drive in the Indy 500. More motorsports history and the Aspen Times building: Drag racing icon Kenny Bernstein, the first man to go 300 mph in a dragster, also visited The Aspen Times. He was, for a time, a part-time Snowmass Village resident.

Also, during the 1950s, sports car races were held on the downtown streets of Aspen (many still dirt streets), sometimes zooming right down Main in front of The Aspen Times building. Among the many, many reporters who have worked at The Aspen Times, one who had a memorable stretch along “reporters row” was author Ted Conover. Conover worked at the Times to research what would be his book about Aspen. It was called “Whiteout: Lost in Aspen.” Many details of The Aspen Times offices, as they existed in the late 1980s, are recalled in Conover’s book, along with details of the many colorful characters who worked at or wandered into The Aspen Times. — Dale Strode, sports editor
THERE WAS the night Dudley, Nate, Vonderhaar and I had to go to Glenwood to finish the paper because they couldn’t put out the electrical fire in the wall. And there was the night I had to sleep under my desk because of the bears in the alley … — Dan Thomas, copy editor ONE LATE NIGHT I was drafted to help proof the Times Daily (you were sequestered in this little closet by the climbing wall), and I heard all this commotion in the upstairs office. Found out that the reporters were hanging out the window trying to see the filming of this soap opera in the Jerome hot tub below... (They had the best view to see if the glamorous movie stars had any clothes on). They wouldn’t let me near the window and yelled at me to get back to work, so we could all get out of there by the midnight deadline. I was sure

Getting away from all the dust and dirt. However, I will say this, best place I’ve ever worked. — Paul Conrad, former photographer I WILL bet there is still cocaine in that building. — Mick Ireland, former reporter FUNNY STORIES and ribald anecdotes can only begin to describe a building that held the soul of a newspaper and the people who worked there. Here was a building that defined a sense of place for those who grew up there, who learned life lessons and discovered themselves through the labors of producing a community newspaper. Here was a building that knew the frenzied output of stories and photos and the challenges of pasting up (in the old days) five sections in three days — all produced inhouse. Here was a building that knew the satisfaction of seeing the paper delivered by kids with canvas sacks slung over their shoulders. Here was a building that knew the gratification of a community that valued this newspaper as an honest representation of Aspen, with all its warts and beauty marks. There were birthday parties for workers’ dogs complete with Alpo “birthday cakes” glowing with candles. There were impromptu gatherings at “The Sink” where we read postcards from traveling staff during off-seasons. There was the quiet of the early morning when the building was empty (except for mice

or a stray cat) and with only the hum of one’s computer and the clacking of keys for company. There was the time a Penthouse photo shoot was going on in the hot tub of the Hotel Jerome next door and a voluptuous naked model was flaunting her charms right below my office window. There were screams and curses as the original DOS computer system crashed — again. There were heated debates over page design, editorial content, photo selection and the proper way of paper training the new puppy. The Aspen Times was an institution for misfits housed in a purple sanitarium on Main Street, an aggregate of flimsy shacks stitched together with baling wire, plumbing pipes and electrical conduit, but mostly held together by the love of those who found something of great value there, something personal, deeply felt, and gone — as permanently and painfully gone as our youth. My heart aches for it. — Paul Andersen, columnist
IT’S A MIRACLE The Aspen Times building is still standing after the great fire in July 2002. A plumber doing some soldering work managed to set the place on fire. Everyone filed out of the building — multiple times — as they kept going back to retrieve more of their stuff. The firefighters charged through the back door and into the wall of newspapers we’d left stacked there. Meanwhile, we were all sitting out in the grass next to the Hotel Jerome and drinking beer. As it turned out, the blaze was contained and we all had to go back to work. — Janet Urquhart, former reporter, as quoted in The Aspen Times
of newspapers. We found nests and little baby mice running around. It was awful. Lou Bendrick went to the pound and returned with a kitten who did a great job “Scooping” up the mice. Now, Scoop’s so well fed, he’s not a mouser anymore. — Sara Garton, former proofreader, as quoted in The Aspen Times
THE ASPEN Times was my funky old second home for 47 years, starting back in the days when the paper was set on linotype machines and small Dickensian boys carried buckets of lead shards down to a roaring furnace in what is now one of the bathrooms. Over the years the inside of the building has been transmogrified into a warren of little offices and secret cubbyholes. Down from the ceiling of the big back room came Bil Dunaway’s Art Cart Derby purple racing car, making way for a new second floor for editorial offices. These changes were functional rather than aesthetic. Fashionable women would still gasp when they came into the front office and found a cat on the counter and 8 or 9 dogs, paws on their stockinged knees, begging for treats. And they hadn’t
even seen the real bowels of the place. I love the old Times building—a comfortable favorite slipper consigned to the trash. It grieves me to see it go. I can’t imagine what the Jerome will do with it (I suspect it will be Isis-ed) and have not yet mustered the fortitude to visit the new digs at The Mother Lode. Wait until they find all the lead! I always said that as soon as I died the corporation would turn the place into cubicles, but they beat me to it. — Su Lum, columnist & former ad representative
STEWART OKSENHORN’S office in the soon-to-be-old-Times building is a living shrine to the arts — all the arts — in Aspen over the past 15 or so years. I can’t imagine such a thing being re-created in a new location, and that’s such a great loss. In a just and fair world his office would be encased in amber and put on permanent display in the new Art Museum. (Just in case this does happen, make sure Stewart isn’t actually in his office during the amber-encasing process.) — Barry Smith, columnist

ACK IN 1952, when I started as a reporterphotographer with The Aspen Times, one of the reasons I got hired was that I could set up a darkroom, had an excellent camera, could take photos, develop the film and print the photos. Verlin Ringle, the publisher at the time, had been wanting for a long time to use photos in the weekly Aspen Times but never had a photographer. I SET UP the darkroom (he had bought an enlarger) in the bathroom, which was in the center of the building. Many evenings I worked late, developing the film from the day’s work and printing the photos to be sent off the next day. We had to have metal plates made of the photos which were then put into the pages of type. I was only 23 at the time and still full of deviltry. David Ringle, their middle son and a senior in high school, often worked late on the press. So one night I was in the darkroom and I heard David on the press. I waited a bit and then sprang out of the darkroom, shouting like a banshee. I really scared David and then how we laughed and laughed! Mr. Ringle was quite handsome and there was an artist lady who had a crush on him. She would go to the office at quitting time and talk and talk to him. Mrs. Ringle, who ran the office supply part of The Aspen Times office, didn’t like that much! She couldn’t get the artist lady to leave. So one afternoon, Mrs. Ringle locked the artist lady, who was in the back by the press, up and walked away with Mr. Ringle. Finally, after a few hours, she went back and let the lady out. The artist lady didn’t hang out at the paper anymore! I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a few other things about the Aspen Times building when I was a reporter-photographer again there from 1972 to 1993. The 1970s were a pretty wild time in the building. Pot smoke was thick around the darkroom. Once, I had to talk to Chris Cassatt, the main photographer, about a feature story we were working on. I knocked on the darkroom
door, it opened and a thick cloud of pot smoke poured out. The guys were all in there, Andy Stone, Chris, Beige Jones, Danny Dishong. They all shouted, “Go away Mary.” About 1974 we were having our dinner party at the Captain’s Anchorage restaurant (where Sky is now). Everyone got roaring drunk. Adele Dusenbury was editor then. She was so high she crawled under the table at one point. After the party, Chris was so inebriated that he crawled all the way back to the office, wearing the knees out of his jeans. He slept that night in the sink at the office. The sink was a real entity to everyone at the Times...whenever anyone went on a trip, they wrote what they were doing to “Dear Sink, c/o The Aspen Times.” In the 1970s and 1980s, we were still doing cut and paste manually. We had until 5 a.m. to change anything we had written before Evie Graham, the typesetter, got to the office to put our stories onto her machine. Luckily I lived only a block from the office. All night after I’d written a story, I would rework it in my head. So I would finally get up, put on my bathrobe and walk over the office, type out my changes on my typewriter and then cut and paste them into the original copy that I had already hung on the typesetter’s hook. Then when I’d get home, I could finally go to sleep. In the winter when I would rework a story, I would put on boots and a parka over my robe and head out into the snow — always in
the middle of the night. Some scenes in the Aspen Times building during my tenure as editor from 1977 to 1992 are still vivid in my memory. Mick Ireland was a reporter, covering crime at the time and getting some big stories, especially about drug rings in Aspen. Biege Jones was head of production and it was up to him to get all the pages photographed on the big camera and down to the pressroom on time so the paper could be printed. Mick and Biege both had volatile personalities and though they were great friends, they would clash over deadlines. Biege would lock himself into the darkroom when they had an argument. Mick would put on his pink earmuffs and go and shout through the door. Biege would shout back, Mick would shout...”I can’t hear you.” And I would have to step in and say, “Look, we ARE a newspaper and the truth is important...but Mick, you have to get that story written!” — Mary Eshbaugh Hayes, columnist (and former everything else)

THE ASPEN Times building is easily the crappiest office I’ve ever worked in, but it’s also the only office I’ve ever loved. The emotional attachment certainly starts with the people, and the tortured, deadline-driven camaraderie of any newsroom. But it’s also related to the goofy purple firetrap — ice-cold in the winter and a heat-trap in the summer — and the pride we all felt working there. As a rule, journalists aren’t country-club types and they tend to side with underdogs, dirt bags and varmints. In an overgrown country club like Aspen, it makes perfect sense that the local newspaper would reside in a dilapidated, mining-era shack with a bar on one side and a liquor store on the other. That’s where the pride came in. It’s a miracle that 310 E. Main St. hasn’t gone up in flames, and those who have worked there can only laugh about it. Any other reaction would just deepen the fear, anger, resentment or some other cancer-causing agent. So you learn to laugh, which happens to be a great life lesson. The funky building promoted funky conduct. Like when one of the staff ’s many dogs would poop inside, and the first person to spot the accident would announce it on the PA system: “Extra! Extra! Dog pile in the production room.” My wife, Elizabeth, always claimed the Times was a “sick
building” full of dust, bacteria and substances of unknown origin, and she was certainly right. But the building also had ski-town mojo, owing to years of politically incorrect speech, thousands of paydays, drinking, smoking, impassioned arguments, a few fist fights, occasional sex (not sure on this, but don’t you think?), some ski tuning and, perhaps most importantly, more than a century of hard work publishing the newspaper. I remember when Bil Dunaway died and we were able to remove the partition walls that formed his small upstairs office. Suddenly light poured in this huge plate-glass window on the back of the building. It was a strange upside to the loss of a father figure. I have inhabited many desks and spent many years in that building and it saddens me to see the newspaper move. But recession and centralization have turned the place from a buzzing hive of activity into a mostly empty shell. Which happens, still, to be a firetrap. So what’s the point of staying? It’s time for my friends and colleagues to wave goodbye, raise a glass and move on. — Bob Ward, former editor
you can’t blame that on the building. — Rick Carroll, editor
WHILE THE building seems cavernous now, that wasn’t always the case. Working at The Aspen Times used to require making the best of tight quarters. When I joined the staff in May 1987, the writers were piled into reporter row, which would make modern cubicles look inviting in comparison. Reporters were stacked up along the eastern portion of the building, adjacent to the Hotel Jerome. It was hot in the summer, cold in the winter and always noisy. You had to learn to filter out the chatter from your neighbor on the phone while you were conducting an interview. When we created the Aspen Times Daily in November 1988, we added staff and the full-time daily
employees had to relocate to the basement. We were shoehorned into an open space that was maybe 15 feet by 15 feet. Three reporters and a production person shared the space during the daily’s infancy. As the daily outgrew its giant cubicle we were moved upstairs to share space with staff members of Climbing Magazine. Some of their crew got irritated by “all-call” blasts over our phone intercom system. When you couldn’t find a particular person, you would do an “all-call” that would reverberate through the office and, apparently, break some writers’ concentration. Climbing eventually left for Carbondale, reporter row was abandoned and all reporters and editors relocated to the luxurious upstairs space that now exists. — Scott Condon, reporter
I’LL ALWAYS remember the countless memos, emails and nastygrams about the rampant disregard for flushing the bathroom toilets. But
Work continues as the Mother Lode building is readied for The Aspen Times to move in.

THE PRICE OF SUCCESS PAIGE PRICE IS beside herself with excitement. And some anxiety too. The artistic director of Theatre Aspen is leaning into the organization’s 30th summer season, which opens June 21 with “Les Misérables,” the biggest production in the company’s history. Staging the world-famous “Les Mis” is a deliberate stretch for the company, which will also debut its new, $1.5 million Hurst Theatre in Rio Grande Park this summer. “It’s the biggest, most ambitious season we’ve ever produced,” said Price. “We have this spectacular venue that took us two years to fund and assemble, and the vision we came to in partnership with the city (of Aspen) was beyond even my expectations.” City construction crews are still putting the finishing touches on a new network of trails, wetlands and gardens in the park surrounding Theater Aspen’s new venue, but the intimate, 189-seat theater itself is ready to go. And so are the cast and crew. “We thought this year is the perfect year to bust through all the boundaries we’ve had heretofore,” Price said. “And so our 30th anniversary gave us a great platform to celebrate what we can do.” Directing the epic musical will be New York-based Mark Martino, who has directed “Little Shop of Horrors” and “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” among others, for Theatre Aspen in the past. And while “Les Mis” may be the centerpiece, it’s not the only production on the 2013 calendar. Opening July 5 and directed by Emmy-winner and Theatre Aspen veteran Jay Sandrich is “Fully Committed,” a one-man comedy starring Matt Bailey that explores the frantic and often absurd world of a reservations host at a five-star restaurant. “I think it’ll appeal to both the service industry folks in Aspen,

and the patrons,” Price laughed. “Everyone might see a little of themselves in that play.” And, as if Price didn’t already have enough to do, she’ll direct Theatre Aspen’s take on “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” which opens July 11. This well-known musical should appeal to children and adults, Price said, because the seminal Charles Schulz comic strip “Peanuts” used child characters to explore universal human emotions. “It’s a family-friendly musical, and people often misinterpret it as a children’s musical,” Price said. “The themes on Charles Schulz’s mind,
that he put forth in Peanuts, are kind of astoundingly adult.” All three shows will run through the entirety of the summer season, which closes on Aug. 17. And Price says audiences should expect an intimate, “in your face” theater experience, with cast members entering and exiting through the aisles and audience members often at the center of the action. Whether it’s the new theater or the productions, the 2013 season has clearly created a buzz. Price said 362 season passes have been sold, already exceeding last year’s grand total of 309. To Price, it’s a gratifying show

NEED TO KNOW “LES MISÉRABLES” JUNE 21 - AUG. 17 This international smash-hit may be the most popular musical in the world. Epic, grand and uplifting, “Les Misérables” packs an emotional wallop that has thrilled audiences all over the world. The sung-through pop opera overflows with melodies that are already standards; its powerful affirmation of the human spirit has made “Les Misérables” a popular masterpiece. 2 hours, 40 minutes, including intermission. Some innuendo and violence, not for children under 10. More Info >> “FULLY COMMITTED” JULY 5 - AUG. 15 “Fully Committed” is rapid-fire funny without being slapstick or obvious, and it does so via an inventive one-man conceit that has one actor playing 40 parts in 75 minutes! Sam is an actor working as a reservations clerk in the basement of an excruciatingly fashionable Manhattan restaurant. It’s December. He’s got a recently widowed father home alone in South Bend, an absurdly dysfunctional work environment, and a stage career stuck on a treadmill of disappointment. Sam spends virtually the entire play on the phone, carrying on both ends of the conversations with a pleading, screaming, entitled public. Good for all ages, though over 12 recommended.
of community support, particularly on the heels of a successful capital campaign to build the new venue. “My motto was always, if they come, we will build it,” she said. “I didn’t want to be one of those theaters where they have a gorgeous, multimillion-dollar shell of a building, and no interest and no buy-in and no personality. I was very determined to do it the other way.” The ambition of the 2013 season can be seen as an effort to raise the bar to match the professionalism of the new performance space. This summer, Theatre Aspen will balloon from a year-round, full-time staff of five individuals to 70, including actors, stage crew, directors, choreographers and designers. The total even includes 11 apprentices and a coordinator to run the apprenticeship program. “We have always called ourselves a teaching hospital here,” Price joked. “That to me is one of the more fun aspects of my job. I think that mentoring young professionals is part of our mission.”
Uniting local actors with Broadway professionals, and teaming college kids with experienced stage and costume designers is part of perpetuating a craft that is, by definition, deeply collaborative. According to Price, a robust training program is a rarity in the theater world, with “slave intern labor” being far more common. “At some of the best programs in the country, they charge people to come be apprentices,” she said. “Ours are getting all their expenses paid, except for food. And they get a little stipend. They also get, in each of their departments, professional experience.“ Needless to say, “full-time job” doesn’t even begin to describe Price’s role at the center of this seasonal explosion of activity. It was 7:30 p.m. when this reporter first reached her — at the office — to arrange an interview. During the interview, she shook her head and revealed, “last night I left the office around midnight.” She sees the various tasks as part of running a small theater company, and that
includes, at least occasionally, directing her own production like “Charlie Brown.” “It’s fun to orchestrate all this, a capital campaign, making sure the staff is happy and challenged — that’s a lot of management,” she said. “But I wasn’t brought here to be just a staff manager. I was also brought here for artistic ideas. So now that we have this new beautiful venue, I get to play a little more.” It’s clear that Price simply loves theater. And on the eve of her company’s biggest season ever, she radiates confidence. She feels this is “the end of the beginning” for the 30-year-old company. And what about the opening of “Les Misérables,” set for June 21? “I don’t think (audience members) are going to be ready,” she said. “I sat in on a rehearsal last night, and I had to put my sunglasses on because I was so overwhelmed by the sound coming from those people. It’s really emotional. To have that so close to people, I think we’re going to have some Kleenex in the aisles.”
“YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN” JULY 11 - AUG. 17 The time of the action is “an average day in the life of Charlie Brown.” It really is just that, a day made up of little moments picked from all the days of Charlie Brown, from Valentine’s Day to the a championship baseball game, from wild optimism to utter despair, all mixed in with the lives of his friends (both human and non-human) and strung together on the string of a single day, from bright uncertain morning to hopeful starlit evening. The show features the classic song Happiness, as well as a contemporary score highlighting the talents of the sixmember cast. For all ages. 75 minutes.
Theatre Aspen’s production of “Les Misérables” opens in previews on Friday, June 21, with performances through Aug. 17.

Introducing Bear and Shasta. This is a bonded pair of Shih Tzu’s that must find a forever home TOGETHER. Bear is a male, 9 years old and weighs 11 pounds. Shasta, the female, is 10 years old weighing in at 16 pounds. Both are extremely well mannered in the home and on a leash. Shasta is the more outgoing of the two, but Bear will let you know when he needs a belly rub or dinner! They are perfectly potty trained and sleep through the night once they find “their spot”. They love to be around people and can even show off...they know a few tricks! Both dogs are current on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped.

SABRINA
Adorable, affectionate, scruffy, 2-year-old Terrier mix. Her puppies just found good homes, and now she is ready to be adopted by a loving family. Such a cute dog!
ALLIE
4-year-old gorgeous Lab/Pit Bull mix female. Such a sweet girl. Allie is happy, friendly, affectionate and energetic. Turned in because of housing.
JIM
Outgoing, energetic, 11-yearold American Foxhound/Husky mix male. Gets along well with people and other dogs. A retired sled dog. So handsome!
OPEN 7am-6pm EVERY DAY 970.544.0206
Really handsome, 4-year-old German Shepherd. He is friendly with people and other dogs. Turned in to the shelter through no fault of his own. If you love Shepherds, this is a great opportunity to have a wonderful dog.
HUNTER
3-year-old mediumsize Chow mix, found wandering around Aspen. Wary of strangers, but friendly once he knows you and trusts you. Loves treats. Will need a responsible owner.
SKY
PONGO AND PURDY
Happy, friendly, athletic, 1.5-year-old Beagle who was found in Redstone.
Pongo is a 6-year-old tall, long, lanky Harlequin Great Dane. He is great with people, but can be aggressive with other dogs. He is, however, wonderful with his deaf sister, Purdy. He adores her and serves as her ears. She watches him for cues as to what is happening. We think that Pongo behaves aggressively towards other dogs only because of his relationship with Purdy. Perhaps they might do better separated, but we are open to adopting them together to an incredibly responsible, knowledgeable home.
Now also Overflowing with Cats! See dogsaspen.com
CARLY
Sweet, soft-spoken, 4-year-old Australian Cattle dog mix who gets along well with people and other pets. She is a little shy and will do best in a responsible, loving, knowledgeable home.
PEPPER
Pepper (a.k.a. Trip) is a handsome, friendly, 2.5-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix who gets along well with people and all other pets. Great with all other animals because he lived on a ranch with horses, goats, sheep, cats and other dogs.
SMOKEY
Beautiful, big-boned, 14-year-old, shorthaired, dilute calico. Gets along well with people and other pets. Released to the shelter by no fault of her own because of cat allergies suffered by children in the household.
RODEO
SAM
Rodeo is an 8-yearold Australian Cattle Dog mix male who gets along well with people and other dogs. He is sweet and friendly. Rodeo has come to the shelter, through no fault of his own, due to housing.
Strong, energetic, black/white 5-yearold female Boston Terrier mix with a splash of Pit Bull— larger than a typical Boston. Outgoing and very friendly. Loves people. Best as only pet.

BOOK REVIEW
‘THE LAST SHEPHERD’ ARIZONA AUTHOR Martin Etchart’s compelling second novel takes readers to the heart of a Basque family, originally from the French Pyrenees, that has been whittled down to two: a father and a son. Mathieu Etcheberri, the son of Basque shepherds who built a hardscrabble life in the mountains above Phoenix, Ariz., wants nothing to do with the family ranch or its “boring sheep.” He’d rather attend a university and find a new future. But when his father dies in a truck accident, caused by a monsoon storm that “tightened into a fist that crushed my world,” he finds himself alone, facing a perplexing situation. It turns out that the ranch is not his to sell; it belongs to an aunt in Urebel, France, a woman he has never met who has always returned, unopened, any letters sent to her.

which lacks common roots with any other language), Mathieu begins to understand the deep community bonds among his people. Their culture may be unfamiliar to most readers, but the haunting resonance of ancestral ties echoes in families throughout the world, from time immemorial. Etchart’s musical writing draws its strength from the rhythms of his native sensibility. The behotza, the heart, knows the answers. Mathieu learns to listen to it, and in the process, discovers how to set about righting some age-old wrongs.

NOTEWORTHY
Declining an offer by a crooked attorney who wants the land for development, Mathieu stumbles along in his good-hearted “Basq-oh” way, choosing to trust the still, small voices of his dead father and aitatxi (grandfather). And so he finds himself back in one of the seven traditional provinces of Spain’s Basque country, face-to-face with bihotz isilekoa — the deep secrets of the heart. Confronted by the mystery of past family quarrels — “even though I’d discovered a family I hadn’t known existed,” he notes, “half of them wouldn’t acknowledge me” — he gradually unravels the knotted strings his progenitors left to entangle their descendants. Through a twisting chain of events, narrated with a broad sprinkling of Euskara (the Basque language,
