25 COVER STORY As Americans across the nation celebrate the Fourth of July, we at The Aspen Times thought it appropriate to reflect on the real meaning of the holiday (though don’t get us wrong...we, too, love the parades and fireworks, barbecues and parties). As such, we asked one simple question: “What does FREEDOM mean to you?” Read on to see what our community had to say.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
BY ANDREW TRAVERS
FESTIVAL WANDERLUST is making its way back to Snowmass Village this weekend. The heady four-day festival of yoga, music, meditation, art, nature, food and drink takes over Snowmass June 30 through July 3, with events running all day. Along with the yoga and meditation classes upon which Wanderlust was built, this year’s offerings include a townhall-style meeting on the 2016 election, a barbecue picnic, hikes around the mountains with musical accompaniment and “speakeasy” environmental talks, spoken word poetry by Akil Apollo Davis and a mandala workshop. Oh, and there’s also a Madonnathemed yoga class — ’80s attire recommended for the blacklit session soundtracked by records from the Material Girl. “This is the kind of event where you really can choose your own adventure,” Wanderlust’s Kim Small told the Aspen Times last year. “Whatever your ‘True North’ is, you will find it here.” This year’s music lineup includes Steel Pulse and Karsh Kale (Thursday and Friday), Magic Giant (Friday), Son Little (Thursday through Sunday) and Xavier Rudd (Saturday, more on Rudd on page 40). After Snowmass, Wanderlust indeed wanders to festivals in Squaw Valley, Whister and Quebec through the summer. Tickets range from $100 for a single day to $475 for all four days. Tickets and more info is available at www.wanderlust.com/ festivals/aspen-snowmass.
A full slate of events — including classes, hikes, concerts and more — welcomes Wanderlust particpants to Snowmass Village from June 30 to July 3.

I N DEPE N DE NCE DAY
1882 ASPEN
ON JULY 8, 1882, the Aspen Weekly Times recounted the early celebrations of July 4th at the town of Ashcroft, up the Castle Creek Valley. As the paper noted, “The celebration of the 4th of July, 1882, will for many years to come be looked at with pleasure by every citizen of Ashcroft. At 4 a.m. the whistle of Brooks and Bethune’s sampling works, with a loud and long-continued sound, echoing from the hills and putting life into the valley, proclaimed the anniversary of the nation’s natal day. Sticks of giant, exploded in many parts of the town, added their thundering report, and soon all was animation.” The image above shows residents of Ashcroft posing for a photograph in the midst of their Fourth of July celebrations in 1882. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK
by STEPHEN REGENOLD
WEAR IT: NEW KIND OF ‘ECO’ JACKET STARK-WHITE AND MINIMAL in build, a jacket line from Columbia Sportswear has the potential to shake the outdoors industry with a litany of environmental upgrades when it comes to market for 2017. The to-be-released jacket line uses no dye in its manufacturing. It’s made of recycled plastic bottles. And (the kicker), the design eliminates a caustic chemical found, until now, across the industry. Columbia Sportswear‘s announcement of the OutDry Extreme ECO Shell line has heretofore unseen sustainability claims. Most notably, the jackets are said to use no fluorocarbons in their materials, membranes or treatments. Fluorocarbons or perfluorinated compounds, often shortened to PFCs, are manmade organic chemicals widely found in waterproof-breathable jackets, despite being flagged as environmental and ecotoxicity concerns. They are seen in jacket treatments, including the common face chemicals called DWRs, as well as in Gore-Tex products and jackets from most major brands. In nature, PFCs do not easily break down, and the chemicals can be pervasive, with trace amounts found in people and wildlife around the globe. Brands know there is a problem. Look at Patagonia, a sustainability champion in the industry, as an example: Like its competition, Patagonia relies on perfluorinated compounds, and it notes in an article the company’s designers and engineers have only discovered a “temporary solution” that is “not good enough, but it’s the best option we have found so far.” Columbia released its OutDry Extreme line this spring. It eliminated a bulk of PFCs with a new construction that does not require a traditional DWR. The next evolution, the to-be-released eco jackets, which contain no fluorocarbons and are made of recycled fabrics, hit stores this coming December for $199. I wore one of the jackets for three days in France last week for a test. Like the original OutDry Extreme, the upgrade has a smooth, almost rubbery, face. Its waterproof-breathable membrane is on the exterior, thus eliminating a fabric layer and the need for a substantial DWR treatment to make water run off or bead. On a climb halfway up Mount Blanc, on highaltitude June snow, the jacket stood out with its allwhite aesthetic. A guide commented how I might get visually lost amongst the frozen terrain. But the wispy shell was not designed primarily for sub-freezing days, despite my test. This is a rain jacket, a lithe shell that folds up small and has few features beyond its zipper and hood. The snow-white look is the result, as noted, of a material process that uses no dye. Columbia says the dyeless construction results in 80 percent less water used than required for color coats. The jacket’s thread, zipper pulls and cord eyelets
are made of recycled materials. The fabric cut for each jacket is cited as repurposing more than 20 plastic bottles, which see new life in the form of a polyester shell. Columbia obtained a Bluesign stamp of approval, meaning the jackets are third-party endorsed as sustainable textile products. To be sure, the new line will register as only a tiny fraction of Columbia’s total jacket sales; most of its outerwear is of more traditional design and includes the use of PFCs. But the 2017 line is a start in the right direction, and one which could affect the wider jacket world inside Columbia and beyond. One company representative noted that when Toyota launched its first Prius hybrid vehicle most all of its cars offered that year still relied fully on gas. A shift came as the car gained consumer trust,
and its popularity magnified the hybrid trend. Columbia is not the only PFC-free option. Niche companies offer non-PFC outerwear, as do brands with waxed-cotton and other fabrics that don’t need a DWR. But the Columbia line is different; it feels and functions like a highperformance waterproof, breathable shell and can compete with models from the major brands that dominate outerwear in the industry. On my trip, rain pounded at lower elevations in the Alps. I joined a group one day to run a segment of the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc route, a famous race. As a waterproof layer, the jacket proved solid in the storm. Its thin shell diverted wind, kept out the rain and breathed at least as good as the traditional options in my closet. I look forward to the ECO line launch, and I’ll cheer for any environmental upgrade in the outerwear world, from chemical tweaks to product design, be they vibrant colors or pure white.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY: LET’S DRINK AMERICAN IT’S ONE OF THOSE LUCKY years when the calendar conspires to put the Fourth of July on a Monday. That means that once the weekend begins you have three whole days for summer parties, summer naps and summer BBQs. It may be the best three-day weekend of the entire year as summer is the most indulgent of the seasons. KELLY J. So it is time to HAYES head to your local wine shop or liquor store to stock up on a few summer sippers for the weekend. This is the time to go with some things that are a little less expensive and a little more fun. Oh, and because it is our Independence Day, let’s try, for the most part, to stay with American-made products. And this also is a weekend to think about design. Sure, you can put some Bud in a tub, throw a little ice around it and call it a day. But with the tin can revolution now mainstream in the world of craft beer, that tub of brews can look so much better with the great graphics that adorn the cans of today. Be creative. Get a little color in your cans to go with the green grass and the blue skies. And consider the labels on your wines as well.
DRINK THE FLAG Winemakers Charles Smith, of Seattle and Walla Walla, Washington, and Charles Bieler, of Napa, California, and New York, teamed up eight years ago to make some low-priced, high-quality great value wines under the moniker of Charles & Charles. Priced under $15 a bottle they represent some of the best buys in many liquor stores. Last year the Wine Spectator gave their Charles & Charles Cabernet SauvignonSyrah Blend from Washington’s Columbia Valley, a wine that sells for just $12, 89 points and called it a “Best Value.” Not bad. But what makes these wines perfect for the Independence

Day weekend are the colorful flag-draped labels that grace the labels. Created by the Hatch Show Print, a historic Nashville, Tennessee, letterpress print shop founded back in 1879 that has created an entire genre of art through the use of their unique abstract graphics, these labels play off the Stars and Stripes. The aforementioned 2014 Charles & Charles Cabernet Blend from the Columbia Valley features the two winemakers in front of a Smith-owned building in Waitsburg in Eastern Washington that is adorned with Old Glory. The Chardonnay has a yellow, straw-colored rendition of the stars on the American flag, while the Merlot has the same motif with a purple tinge. But it is the Rosé that really gets you humming “Stars and Stripes Forever” as it is festooned with red stripes with the 2015 Rosé designation in the box where the stars normally go. The two Charles also make myriad other wines under their own labels. Bieler also is known for his involvement in the Three Thieves brand, Sombra mezcal and the Gotham Project. If you have a hankering to go French this weekend, try the 2015 Bieler Pere et Fils Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence Rosé, an excellent and affordable blend of grenache, syrah, cabernet sauvignon, cinsault and teaspoon of rolle from Provence. At least it’s made by an American. For his part Charles Smith has built himself an empire in the Pacific Northwest and his Boom-Boom! Syrah does have the perfect name for the Fourth of July fireworks. This 100 percent syrah from Washington State also is reasonably priced at around $15 and packs a major punch. The black and white rendition of a lit cannon ball on the label will look good next to the Ska beers in your ice tub as well.
A ZINFUL HOLIDAY Of course, for me, there is nothing better for grilled burgers than Zinfandel. It may be the most American of all grapes,
On July 4, 1776, after signing the Declaration of Independence, the signers raised their glasses in celebration with a fine and fortified Madeira.
even though its original heritage likely dates back to Italy and the primitivo grape. Zin can be light and fruity or big and jammy. But to me, either way, it works while standing ‘round a grill flipping some ground beef with a slice o’ cheese. For value and quality at a low price, I look for two names: Ravenswood and Rosenblum. Joel Peterson of Ravenswood’s mantra is “No Wimpy Wines” and his 2013 Napa Valley Old Vine Zinfandel is as beautiful as it is big for around $18. While Kent Rosenblum makes some amazing single vineyard offerings, if you want to go cheap and cheerful the Rosenblum Cellars Vintner’s Cuvée Zinfandel with the red label and the old vine will fit the bill. There is no vintage on this wine but it will work on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday or even a holiday Monday for around a Hamilton. Happy Independence Day everyone.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE BLANDY’S 10-YEAR-OLD MALMSEY Back in the day, that would be the mid 1700’s, the drink of choice in the colonies was the fortified wine that was produced on the Portuguese Island of Madeira. The dark, occasionally syrupy, wine was sold to sailors and traders, mostly British, making their way to the East Indies or the New World. That would be America. As the signers of the Declaration of Independence were of British descent and the wines came with the visitors, it was natural that the new Americans would gravitate towards Madeira wines. A favorite of both Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, glasses of Madeira were raised in a toast following the signing of the Declaration of Independence. May I suggest a bottle of Blandy’s for your post BBQ dessert? Sweet, fresh and smooth, you can toast the Founding Fathers in the spirit of their choice.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS
BAROQUE SHOW
CONDUCTOR NICHOLAS McGEGAN SEEKS ADVENTURE THROUGH MUSIC—AND FOOD HOTEL-BOUND IN SARASOTA, Florida, Nicholas McGegan is craving quality espresso. Unfortunately, the closest boutique coffee shop is located some five miles away, and he’s without transportation. Instead, the renowned conductor, harpsichordist, and 30-year music director of San Francisco’s Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra is sipping a cup of subpar English Breakfast tea in his room. “I normally travel with my own tea, not because I’m British, but because I like good tea: Scottish Breakfast, Earl Grey, Darjeeling, Jasmine — the sort with the flowers,” he says. “Makes my suitcase smell nice, too.” While tea and coffee may be simple pleasures, in McGegan’s world they are not open to dramatic interpretation as, say, the 18th century Baroque classical music for which he is known. When performing in concert AMANDA RAE halls around the globe, the 66-year-old self-proclaimed “gastronaut” leaves that to the food. “So much of the world now is the same — you can go to Starbucks in practically any city on this planet,” McGegan says. (He’s quick to note that the chain is not his cup of, uh, Joe.) “If I’m in Kuala Lumpur I can probably get the same cup of coffee that I could get in Washington, D.C., but you certainly don’t eat the same. That’s the thing I relish when traveling: to have what you can only find there, in season.” McGegan, who returns to the Aspen Music Festival and School on July 8 to present a program of Baroque works featuring French flutist Emmanuel Pahud and young violinist Simone Porter, shares a few tidbits on experiencing a place through taste, food nostalgia, and cooking for culinary royalty in his Berkeley, Calif., neighborhood. Welcome back to Aspen! What are you excited to eat here? “One of the great joys of Aspen is the Saturday Market. I’m lucky that [the Aspen Music Festival and School] always gives us a place where we can cook. I’ll get elk from one guy, some terrific goat cheeses, great breads, pies, tarts, empanadas. I always try to go to Zocalito, too. I’ve been to Oaxaca and the dishes are absolutely lovely — duck, guava — very different from the Mexican food we have in California. Anything with chocolate, like mole, I’m so happy. And I’ll eat those fantastic Colorado red trout. That’s something I look forward to because we don’t have them on the West Coast. So you enjoy absorbing local culture through food when traveling? I make a point of it. I was just in Baltimore and there’s a place called Woodberry Kitchen, which only serves food from Maryland. They make their own ice cream with Maryland milk and stone fruit…but there was a storm just as the cherry trees were flowering so there will be no apricots, plums, peaches or cherries this year. Normally you’d just get (these fruits) from Georgia, but they just won’t. I went twice in one week because it was so good. I go to Hungary a lot, and I do love Hungarian food. I’m not a great eater of cakes — except in Vienna and Budapest. They’re irresistible! My recipes (nicholasmcgegan.com/recipes) are a reminder of the places I’ve been. How does your musical style translate to your love of food? Baroque music is sort of like 18th-century jazz. You improvise—it’s not all written down. I like to make music without a safety net. In other words, I don’t believe in musical microwaving. The audience will come with you. Similarly, I’m a bit of a gastronaught—I like being adventurous. I love trying wine I’ve never had. Once at Rustique Bistro, we were early for a dinner. We looked at the wine list at the bar, I saw a Slovenian wine, and I had to try it. Since then I’ve been to Slovenia and I can attest to the many bottles we had

there that they are still fantastic, and I found out about them at Rustique 10 years ago. It’s a constant adventure. Safe eating and only drinking French wine is terribly tedious! Any foods you don’t enjoy? Barbecue is one of the few things that doesn’t turn me on. We didn’t have barbecue in England—the weather is not conducive. But I do love eating outdoors. It makes me think of holidays in France and Italy, and, of course, living in California. That’s one great pleasure of the Aspen Music Festival and School: picnicking during performances. Being serenaded while you have a picnic is a tradition that goes back centuries. Classical music adds to the atmosphere and to the sense of occasion. It’s great for younger audiences who don’t want to sit bolt upright in a chair and be totally silent, like, “You will listen to this and have a miserable time.” Put them outside on a blanket, give them an ice cream, and listen to the music. So food is a natural match for this style of music? Eighteenth-century music is full of serenades, like [Mozart’s] “Eine kleine Nachtmusik.” Music wasn’t only played in concert halls. An awful lot of Mozart’s big symphonies and concertos were played in a restaurant, not a formal concert hall. The Prater in Vienna had a big band; famous singers would come to sing, then go off to dinner.” What was your most memorable meal? During rehearsals at Versailles, a bunch of us went down to the canal. We had a couple of French baguettes, unsalted butter, French radishes, and sea salt. And a whole (bag) of white peaches cut up and sprayed with a tiny bit of rosewater. And rosé, of course. We put the bottle in the canal to keep it cool. Every time I see white peaches I think of that particular lunch in France. Food has a Proustian effect on me.
by AMANDA RAE
So food can transport you to place just as music? Totally. It’s another place, and the people associated with it. I’ve been lucky living in California and spending time in Europe, I know several winemakers, so I try to find their wines. Montagna (formerly at The Little Nell) had my Austrian winemaker friend Heidi Schröck’s wine, so we had to order it. There it was— 7,000 miles away—a bottle of her wine. It’s like getting a postcard. Nostalgia and food are inextricably linked for you then? There are certain things I ate as a child, like Marmite, which to Americans is anathema — a friend of mine likened it to oven scrapings — but I just love it! On the other hand, root beer, which every young American drinks gallons of, I never had it as a kid because it tastes like the back of stamps to me. I just can’t get my tongue around it. It’s not a food of my childhood. I don’t have that taste memory.
“I LOVE PICNICS. FOR A BRIT, THE CHANCE OF EATING OUTDOORS WITHOUT GETTING RAINED ON IS, OF COURSE, A RISK, BUT ONE ALWAYS WORTH TAKING. THE FOOD TASTES DIFFERENT, THE ATMOSPHERE IS MORE RELAXED, AND ONE HAS THE JOY OF GOING SOMEWHERE BEAUTIFUL TO SPEND TIME WITH FRIENDS—A SOLITARY PICNIC ISN’T MUCH FUN.” —CONDUCTOR NICHOLAS McGEGAN

What’s it like to live at the heart of California food culture? I get a bit spoiled in Berkeley, because we live very close to Chez Panisse. Mollie Katzen, who wrote the Moosewood cookbooks, is a neighbor. It’s kind of scary to cook for her. Alice Waters has been over the house, but it was a pizza party. All you really have to do for those grand ladies is cook good, honest food. Pretentious food is not on. And you don’t make a tomato salad in December. That’s just silly. Good, honest food, a nice bottle of wine, and jolly good company is all you need. amandaraewashere@gmail.com
BEHIND THE MUSIC On the menu at the Benedict Music Tent on July 8, according to composer Nicholas McGegan: BACH, C.P.E.: Flute Concerto in D minor, H.484.1 “Bach liked eating larks and little birds. He lived in Hamburg, but would import them from Leipzig, where he lived as a child. He wasn’t all beef and beer, he was a gourmet.” MOZART: Andante for Flute and Orchestra in C major, K. 315 (K. 285e) “He indulged himself, even when it was beyond his resources to do so. Among his favorites were trout, liver dumplings with sauerkraut, chicken paprikash with späetzle, and uccelline (similar to veal scaloppini). I have a copy of a Viennese cookbook from the year that Mozart wrote “Don Giovanni” and a friend of mine cooked a dinner from it. Delicious!” BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 7 in A major, op. 92” “Beethoven liked mac and cheese with as much Parmesan as it could possibly take. He also was a bit of a wine snob. He liked white wine from the Rhine region, where he was born, to drink out of crystal glasses. Though there’s very good wine in Austria, he liked the stuff from his native region. Must be a nostalgic thing.” BRUCH Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, op. 26 “This is a chestnut (of a piece), shall we say. I don’t know a thing about Bruch but since he was from Cologne, Germany, I am thinking that he drank a lot of beer!”

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS
by JEANNE MCGOVERN
RED, WHITE & BLUE SHOOTER MAKE IT
To be perfectly honest, the Fourth of July is not one of my favorite drinking holidays. I know, I know ... that seems insane. But there’s something about the heat and the crowds and the general mayhem that doesn’t mix well with booze for me. Of course this doesn’t necessarily stop me from imbibing. For years, I sucked down a few cold beers on the Fourth. More recent holidays have seen my glass filled with crisp white wine. Last year, I mixed up a sangria-inspired punch for my fellow lobster feast mates. This year, I’m going to mask my disinterest in drinking with an interest in creating an interesting cocktail: the Red, White & Blue Shooter fits the bill. With hints of peach, orange and pomegranate flavors in the ingredients, it sounds like a perfect summertime sip. But that’s not the reason the Red, White & Blue is on this year’s menu: it’s the look. Like the American flag itself, this libation — if poured correctly — is layered in patriotic red, white and blue boozy stripes. Perhaps a few of these and
1/3 ounce grenadine 1/3 ounce peach schnapps 1/3 ounce blue curaçao This is a layered shot so each ingredient is poured on top of the previous. The key to layered shooters like this is to slowly pour the ingredients over a bar spoon in a certain order according to the density of the liquid. Pour the grenadine into a shot glass. Float the peach schnapps on top of the grenadine. Float the blue curaçao on top of the peach schnapps.

ASPEN UNTUCKED
by BARBARA PLATTS
Fast — and forever — friends: Barb and Jill out on the town.
ASPEN FRIENDSHIPS
MAKING AND KEEPING FRIENDSHIPS IN A POST-COLLEGE SCENE MAKING FRIENDS is not something you’re taught growing up. It just sort of happens. We spend our childhood being forced to be with people our own age. From preschool to college, making friends feels mostly seamless because people are just always around. But take away the lockers, dorm rooms and daily classes and things get BARBARA a bit harder. Making PLATTS friends doesn’t come as naturally in the “real world”. And, why it may be easier to ask a member of the opposite sex out for a drink, how does one just go up to someone they think would make a good friend and, essentially, ask them to go on a platonic date? That’s how I felt when I moved to Aspen roughly four years ago. I started working for a small marketing company, which, while it was a great opportunity, made it a bit harder to meet people my own age. Everywhere I went, it seemed like millennials and the like were already in established friendships. It was the beginning of the winter season and everyone seemed to have large amounts of social engagements… except
me. I was on an entirely new social terrain and wasn’t quite sure what to do about it. My job at the marketing firm taught me a lot. One thing I learned to do was establish professional relationships with the local press, in hopes that they would give our clients good exposure in their publications. One of our big clients at the time was a new hotel in Snowmass Village. A newspaper dedicated to the happenings and news of that town is the weekly Snowmass Sun operated by The Aspen Times. The editor of the Snowmass Sun was Jill Beathard. Immediately after meeting her, I was platonically smitten. Jill was (and still is) a fun, smart, down-to-earth girl from Texas. When we met she had already been in the Roaring Fork Valley a year. She enjoyed the outdoors, appreciated a good cocktail and was always up for a new experience — all in all, she was my kind of woman. Perhaps similarly to romantic attraction, often times, when you meet someone you want to be friends with, you just know immediately. That was the case for me with Jill. I just wasn’t sure how to convince her that she too,
wanted to be my friend. I started by asking her out for drinks to discuss how I could get into freelancing for publications in town. We met at Justice Snow’s, a new restaurant that would soon become our habitual watering hole. We talked for a bit about freelancing and how I could get into it. However, once the cocktails started emptying down our throats, we got into other conversations about fun things to do in Aspen, boys, bucket list goals and more. By the end of the night, we were taking shots and cavorting all over the dance floor at the Belly Up. The next morning we texted one another, practically in tears over the hangovers that had materialized due to the evening before. From there on out, we were in agreement, we had both found a new friend. Over the last pew years, Jill and I have been through a lot, together and separately. From career successes to family losses, from early mornings out at the bars to late evenings in binging on a reality TV show or HBO original series, we’ve had many adventures and even a few misadventures. But one thing is for sure: it’s been a hell of a ride.
I’m sad to say that Jill moved away from Aspen this week. She’ll be attending Denver University for law school this fall. Her last weekend in town felt similar to our first night out together. It was indulgent, to say the least. I attached myself to her hip, and we painted the town red. I’m so sad to see her go but couldn’t be happier that she’s making big moves. And, even if she will no longer be in the Roaring Fork Valley, I know we still have many more adventures headed our way. Making friends in Aspen did not come seamlessly for me. It took a lot to get used to the social scene and to start reaching out to people I wanted to know better. But, once I started putting myself out there, I found success in the best ways possible. So, for those newcomers to town, the people who aren’t quite sure where to go or who to meet, just start putting yourself out there and see what happens. That’s what I did three years ago and I was lucky enough to get a lifetime friend out of it. Barbara Platts is running out of friends in this valley.

SUMMER IS FOR SOCIALIZING, exchanging ideas, celebrating life’s grand occasions, being active and living well. All of those elements can be experienced on a daily basis in Aspen. Every weekend, visit the Aspen Saturday Market to stock up on fresh finds from farmers from near and afar. Races and fun runs take place practically every weekend such as last Sunday’s Color Run presented by the Snowmass Club and the Snowmass Chapel’s Camp Smashbox. That afternoon, scores of friends gathered to celebrate an engagement — wishing fiancés Vanessa Sorenson and Clay Stranger well with a party at Mollie Gibson Park and Aspen
Mountain as the stunning backdrop. The Aspen Ideas Festival is currently underway through July 2, serving as the nation’s premier, public gathering place for leaders from around the globe and across many disciplines to engage in deep and inquisitive discussion of the ideas and issues that both shape our lives and challenge our times. In total, some 350 presenters, 200 sessions, and 3,000 attendees comprise the annual Festival, which was launched in 2005, on the Aspen Institute’s campus at the Aspen Meadows.

VOYAGES
ESCAPE ARTIST | THE WEST
by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY
NEED TO ESCAPE ASPEN FOR THE FOURTH? THERE’S NO DOUBT, Fourth of July celebrations in Aspen are epic and idyllic. The parade, the barbecues, the candy literally littering the streets have done their job by attracting thousands of visitors — making Aspen a top Independence Day destination. But while it’s fun for many, for others, namely locals, who would rather not battle the AMIEE WHITE crowds for a slice of BEAZLEY shade along Main Street, there are other options in the region that make the holiday a great excuse for some independent exploration.
THE PINES LODGE, BEAVER CREEK The intimate, elegant 60-room Pines Lodge is home to the awardwinning Grouse Mountain Grill and features an outdoor pool, Jacuzzi and fitness center as well as a small selection of deluxe condominiums and town homes. This Independence Day celebrate at Stars, Stripes and Slides with bounce houses, games and slides before transitioning into the
evening with live music beginning at 6 p.m., food, drinks, and a fireworks celebration at 9:30 p.m.
THE DOUBLETREE BY HILTON, BRECKENRIDGE The newly renovated DoubleTree by Hilton Breckenridge is located just a short walk across the street to the Quicksilver chairlift and within walking distance of Main Street. Celebrate Fourth of July with the Breckenridge Independence Day 10K trail run at 7 a.m. The fun continues with the Firecracker 50 mountain bike race which also launches the annual Fourth of July parade at 10 a.m., the July Arts Festival and live music. Enjoy a performance at the end of the night by the National Repertory Orchestra at the Riverwalk center followed by fireworks at 9:45 p.m.
KEYSTONE LODGE AND SPA, KEYSTONE The Keystone Lodge and Spa is surrounded by thousands of acres of national forest and activities like mountain biking, golf and SUP. It also has a state-of-the-art spa with a full range of treatments, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, and an outdoor swimming pool. Start
the July 4 morning with a fishing derby followed by the annual bike parade and barbecue with live music featuring Trout Steak Revival and The Burroughs. Of course, you can then cap off the night with a fireworks show.
GRAND SUMMIT HOTEL, PARK CITY, UTAH The Fourth of July celebration at Park City is a daylong event beginning with a pancake breakfast. Sign up for the 5K Mountain Fun Run and afterward, head over to Historic Main Street for the Annual 4th of July Parade with more than 70 floats. Spend the rest of the day celebrating outdoors with live music, games, beer gardens, a rodeo and more family fun. At 7 p.m. enjoy a free concert leading up to a spectacular fireworks show.
CUMBRES & TOLTEC SCENIC RAILROAD, CHAMA, NEW MEXICO The Cumbres and Toltec is the longest, highest and most authentic steam railroad in America, traversing 64 miles of rugged mountain territory and river gorges, much of it only accessible by train. The railroad is owned jointly by
the states of Colorado and New Mexico and crosses state borders 11 times. The annual Fourth of July celebration of the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad will be bigger and louder this year with more pyrotechnics added to what already is the largest fireworks display in the Southern Colorado, Northern New Mexico area. For the Fourth of July weekend, the railroad will offer a special sunset and dinner train. The steam locomotive, covered with flags and bunting, will leave Chama, New Mexico, at 4:15 p.m. on July 4 and chug up a steep four percent grade to the top of 10,015-foot high Cumbres Pass, for a delicious barbecue dinner at nearly two miles above sea level. The train will return with sunset views and liquor service aboard, stopping at Chama Wye station so passengers can view the famous Chama fireworks spectacle from the open gondola car. After the show, the train will steam back to Chama station, arriving at approximately 10 p.m.

WHAT DOES
freedom
MEAN TO YOU? With the Fourth of July upon us, we decided to reflect a bit on what exactly we — as Americans — celebrate on this most American of holidays: FREEDOM. So we asked a cross-section of the Aspen community, including our own staff, “What does FREEDOM mean to you?” The answers we received are as diverse as our nation itself, with every individual sharing his or her own thoughts and feelings. And this, it seems, is its own definition of FREEDOM. So as you gather together with friends and family on this Fourth of July — over BBQ and beers, while watching parades and fireworks — we encourage you take a moment to remember why we celebrate this holiday...and to share with others what FREEDOM means to you.

To me, it means choice: the freedom to make a good choice, or a bad one; to choose how I want to live as a good citizen of this planet; to opt for the candidate I’m most aligned with in an election; and to determine by my own free will what I do each day and with whom I do it. CINDY HIRSCHFELD, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, SOJOURNER MAGAZINE What does freedom mean to me? It means everything. It means the world. It means more than I could ever really encapsulate here. But I can say that I feel blessed to have been born into a country where my vote counts, my opinions are accepted and my government isn’t trying to kill me (that I know of, anyway.) I cherish my right to free speech and freedom of the press. I’m grateful that we have a fourth estate — it’s essential in keeping our elected officials and those who work for them honest. I think about citizens in countries like China or North Korea where they are told how and what to think. And the only information they receive about the world and its citizens is spoon-fed propaganda by their governments. Suppression at its worst. I often think about how blessed I am to be free based on the atrocities others are experiencing. Years ago, a co-worker had a column penned by journalist Amy Goodman that was pinned to his bulletin board. It was about women in Africa who were victims of genital mutilation. He had it there to remind himself that when he thought he was having a bad day, there are tens of millions of people who have it worse. So, however messed up our country may be at this moment in time, I’ll take messy freedom any day. CAROLYN SACKARIASON, NEWS DIRECTOR, ASPEN PUBLIC RADIO
Freedom. What a beautiful word! Liberation from the control of some other person or power. A gift to be cherished. But wow, it sure comes with a great price. The war continues to be fought to maintain our freedoms – freedom of speech, freedom of education, and freedom of religion – things not to be taken for granted. We are truly blessed to be Americans and have these rights. And I am so very proud of the men and women who have laid down their lives so the rest of us can be free. With freedom comes responsibility. Envied by many, challenged by some – we have a duty to preserve it, but it’s not free. Let’s not forget that or forget those who have served so we can remain free. SHERYL BARTO, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, SMILING GOAT RANCH, USING HORSES TO HELP CHILDREN WITH AUTISM AND VETERANS WITH PTSD After living most of my adult life in the United States, I have finally made the leap to apply for American citizenship, so this is a question I must now think about more than at any other time in my life. And while I don’t expect the freedoms I value — freedom for myself and my family to pursue quality education, satisfying careers, and the many other pursuits that make up a quality life —to change too much, I very much recognize that for too many people around the world, and even in our own valley, do not have the same freedoms, because of the color of their skin, their sex or gender identification, and in too many instances simply because of where they’re born. So for me the freedoms I and my family enjoy equate to gratitude, while I feel even more the weight of the lack of other people’s freedoms. CATHERINE LUTZ, FREELANCER WRITER

Like the air we breath, our freedom is taken for granted. And, like the air we breath, it is something that should require both our attention and our diligence. Freedom is what allows us to live the lives we lead — no matter what we do. It gives us the opportunity to decide, for ourselves the course of our daily activities and the direction of ours and our families lives. In all of history just a tiny percentage of human kind has been bestowed with the rights that we have been given to live free. For less than 300 years Americans have not only lived free but also have spread the concept of a free spirit around the globe. Today, the very tenants of Liberty and freedom are under peril in many places on earth. Now more than at any other time in our lives we need to embrace our freedom. Like the air we breath, freedom is vital to our very existence. KELLY J. HAYES, COLUMNIST, ASPEN TIMES WEEKLY
FREEDOM PROVIDES ONE AND ALL WITH AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. AMONG THOSE FREEDOMS I SO GREATLY CHERISH — FREEDOM OF SPEECH, WHICH ALLOWS FOR EXPRESSING WHAT WE FEEL AND THINK THROUGH THE WRITTEN OR SPOKEN WORD, AND FREEDOM OF CHOICE, WHICH ALLOWS FOR DECIDING HOW TO LEAD OUR LIVES TO BE OUR BEST SELVES. MAY SELBY, COLUMNIST, ASPEN TIMES WEEKLY
Freedom is a gift bestowed upon us by our founding fathers that was bought and paid for and given unto us by the patriots that came before us: Freedom allows us to lay our heads on our pillows each night and rest easy knowing that someone is keeping watch, being the guardian protecting us and protecting our freedoms… Freedom is the opportunity to figure out who we are and not be forced into a particular mold. To try new things, make mistakes, learn from those mistakes, grow from what we learned and become something better. Freedom is this opportunity to become who you want; freedom offers hope, freedom offers dreams, and freedom offers choices. Those who came before were not willing to be complacent,
and they were ready to face down tyranny of those who would oppress these opportunities. We too have a responsibility to protect and preserve this way of life, to carry on the traditions and responsibilities given unto us by our forefathers. We have a responsibility, should our freedoms be challenged, to face down those who would oppose them, both as communities and as individuals. What does freedom mean to me? It means I have the opportunity to choose to enjoy “The American Dream”, whatever the dream may mean to me, and you have the same opportunity whoever you are to make that dream real for you. JAMES A. VAN BEEK, SHERIFF, EAGLE COUNTY
To me, freedom is the ability to wake up each morning and lead the life I chose to live. It means having been able to attend college, study what I wanted to(journalism), and pursue a career in the field of my choice. My aunt, who I’m convinced can do anything, told me recently how she always wanted to be a journalist, but that women weren’t allowed to study journalism at the time that she went to school. As a 23-year-old American-born citizen, this realization that someone I am related to and look up to experienced such sexual discrimination firsthand was shocking. I think it can be challenging for young Americans to fully grasp this notion of freedom, and what it means to be free, simply because it is all we know. Consequently, I think it is more important than ever that we take the time to acknowledge and appreciate our freedom and the privileges we enjoy within the context of other nations and our predecessors. Travel abroad, read international news, engage in meaningful conversations with foreigners and elders seek other perspectives and understand our past. I think this is also critical in ensuring that as a country, we are conscious in our decisions that will allow us to continue moving forward in our fight for freedom. ERICA ROBBIE, REPORTER, THE ASPEN TIMES FREEDOM MEANS WAKING UP ON SATURDAY MORNING WITH NO PLANS AND ANYTHING I CAN DREAM UP IS AN OPTION. FREEDOM MEANS CHOOSING THE PEOPLE I WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH AND KNOWING THAT THE ONLY REPERCUSSIONS ARE THOSE RELATED TO MY CHOICES. FREEDOM IS HOPPING ON AN AIRPLANE AND TRAVELING TO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. TOMORROW. FREEDOM IS WATCHING A CONCERT AT THE BELLY UP AND NOT WORRYING ABOUT WHO OR WHAT WILL COME THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR TO INTERRUPT MY FUN. FREEDOM IS COCKTAILS ON THE SUNDECK, THROWING STICKS FOR MURPHY AT MAROLT POND, DIPPING MY TOES IN THE RIVER AT HERRON PARK, COMING IN TO WORK LATE AFTER HOT YOGA AND A JOUR DE FETE BREAKFAST BURRITO, AND SITTING ON THE GRASS WITH A PICNIC AND LISTENING TO CLASSICAL MUSIC ROLL OUT OF BENEDICT MUSIC TENT. FREEDOM IS LIVING MY LIFE WITHOUT FEAR OF REPRISAL.
SAMANTHA JOHNSTON, PUBLISHER, THE ASPEN TIMES
Freedom is the ability to enjoy personal liberty without threat or interference from someone else, and consequently the willingness to accept limitations on conduct that might impair another’s personal liberty. ERIN FERNANDEZ-ELY, PITKIN COUNTY JUDGE
Freedom is a platform for individualism. And individualism is not independentence from society. But, the enabling to contribute to an open society. “ONLY... LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING.” JAY JORENDA, READER, THE ASPEN TIMES
Freedom is a fight, a fight to maintain our public lands so that all Americans may enjoy them and not see them privatized, a fight for women to keep their reproductive health care, a fight to keep others religions from dictating how one lives, a fight to maintain ones privacy in the digital age. Freedom only reigns when the public is involved, viligent and willing to fight to keep their freedoms. RACHEL RICHARDS, PITKIN COUNTY COMMISSIONER
Freedom means a lot of things to me. It means national security and protection from evils in this world such as terrorism. Freedom means having the ability and the means to follow my version of the American dream. Freedom means having a military ready to protect and serve our country, with a commander-in-chief qualified to make sound decisions for when that’s necessary and appropriate. Freedom means patriotism, love, education, success. More importantly, I think freedom means peace. LAUREN GLENDENNING, EDITOR, THE ASPEN TIMES

Freedom is the spectacular gift of being able to choose anything, absolutely anything you wish, and the responsibility of making choices in a way that benefit not only you but the entire world. BILL LINN, ASSISTANT CHIEF, ASPEN POLICE DEPARTMENT Freedom is the ability: To speak your mind without fear of repercussion from others or government To love and marry who you want without judgement To pray and worship without retaliation because of your belief To disagree and protest without fear of violence To vote and have a voice in government To not be persecuted because of your country of origin, skin color or accent When you can be yourself without the judgment from others you are truly free JOE DISALVO, SHERIFF, PITKIN COUNTY
FREEDOM TO ME MEANS HAVING CHOICES, OPPORTUNITIES, AND EQUALITY. MARILYN SELTZER, CAREER CONSULTANT To me freedom means having choices…whether it is choosing where to live, what I do for a living, what to eat, what to wear, where to travel. Having the freedom to take care of my body, mind and soul as I see fit. Knowing I can decide my own future, knowing my daughters can decide THEIR own future… if they want to be professional golfers or join the fire department, become ballerinas or stay at home and raise their own babies. Freedom to me is choice and having choice is empowering. LOUISE WALKER, MULTI MEDIA MARKETING CONSULTANT, THE ASPEN TIMES
I’ve never thought freedom meant much unless you appreciated it. Often we’re like fish that don’t know what water is. Every morning I wake up and thank God I’m not in elementary school. For me that was a form of bondage. But what if I didn’t realize how lucky I am? My life would be less rich. Americans, we can get grumpy, we get into a state where we complain about everything. July 4 is a good reset. Reading George Orwell or Kafka, or the Diary of Anne Frank, these people fully understood creeping surveillance, arbitrary abuse of power, self-fueling bureaucracy, and the corruption of ideology. Their books are mostly nightmares, they terrify me, because they show how close society always is to tipping that way. But you put those books down, you look around, and it’s like waking from a terrible dream. Wow. This is awesome. This coffee tastes great. This sky in so blue. Every day is a gift here in America: we’re unencumbered. So what are our obligations, what do we owe in return? I think about that a lot. AUDEN SCHENDLER, ASPEN SKIING CO.
TO ME FREEDOM MEANS DOING WHAT THE CREATOR INTENDED FOR US TO DO. HE SAYS “DO THIS AND LIVE”. HE GIVES US A CHOICE TO CHOOSE BLESSING OR CHOOSE CURSE. HE GAVE US THE BLUEPRINT IN HIS WORD, THE BIBLE. IT IS HIS LOVE LETTER TO US AND AN INVITATION TO ETERNITY WITH HIM. WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD, IS THERE IS FREEDOM. THESE ARE HIS WORDS, NOT MINE, YET HE HAS MADE IT CLEAR WE ARE TO SHARE THIS GOOD NEWS, CALLED THE GOSPEL. I PRAY THIS WILL ENCOURAGE YOU TO KNOW WHERE TO FIND TRUE FREEDOM AND HOPE IN ANY SEEMINGLY HOPELESS SITUATION. HE ABSOLUTELY LOVES YOU TOTALLY UNCONDITIONALLY. HE DESIRES TO SPEND ETERNITY WITH YOU. HE WAITS WITH OPEN ARMS. RELIGION MEANS “TO BIND UP”. THIS IS TRUE FREEDOM, CHOOSING TO DO WHAT WAS INTENDED FOR US. JESUS DIED FOR EACH OF US. WE ARE HIS ART WORK!!!! PAM FISHER, FORMER TEACHER

I like literal, universal definitions for simple words. But I also think it’s nice as a human being to be able to breathe and laugh deeply and know that whatever might be trying to restrain you — physically, financially or socially — it can’t hold down your mind and your soul. As long as you’re breathing, those things are free. EVAN GIBBARD, PRODUCTION MANAGER, THE ASPEN TIMES
I figured why invent the wheel when it comes to defining freedom. There are a lot of good quotes, but George Washington said it best, “If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” Then there’s always Mark Twain to tell it the wittiest. Here’s a quote from him on freedom: “It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.” Despite those words of wisdom from two wise men, I personally like Greta Garbo’s definition. She said, “I never said, ‘I want to be alone.’ I only said, ‘I want to be left alone!’ There is all the difference.” SCOTT CONDON, REPORTER, THE ASPEN TIMES
To me freedom means everything; the opportunity to live where we want, to travel where we want, to study what we want and to be anything we want — the possibilities are endless. I am eternally thankful beyond words to all of the soldiers that are fighting to keep this country free, it is the greatest sacrifice there is. Freedom is a luxury. ASHTON HEWITT, MAGAZINE AND SPECIAL PROJECTS DIRECTOR, THE ASPEN TIMES Freedom, taken as an absolute, should mean equal rights for all. That hasn’t been the case in this country, but strides are being made, albeit gradually. As a white, heterosexual, recovering Catholic male born and living in America, my ilk and I have enjoyed more freedom than others living in this land. I only hope that other people — whatever their persuasions, pursuits, genders, beliefs and ethnicities — are afforded the same liberties and rights that I was given, simply because of my race, gender and sexual orientation. Make American great again? How about we start by making the playing field level for all. Sadly, this should be a non-issue. Hopefully one day it will be, so the more pressing and neglected topics get their just attention. RICK CARROLL, MANAGING EDITOR, THE ASPEN TIMES
FREEDOM IS: AN OPEN ROAD WITH NO ITINERARY NOR OBLIGATIONS, A FULL TANK OF GAS AND A POCKETFUL OF CASH! AMANDA RAE, COLUMNIST, ASPEN TIMES WEEKLY
Being free is having the option and means to disengage from things that cause worry, stress, anxiety, and fear, enabling peace of mind and heart that leads to a good night’s sleep. Sometimes you can do this on your own, but lots of times it’s a group project and you need help from others who seek the same. I know I am truly free when I am truly happy. I suppose that means freedom is happiness. ROGER MAROLT, COLUMNIST, THE ASPEN TIMES & SNOWMASS SUN Freedom means learning from your mistakes, having your own canvas to paint and being responsible for your actions. Freedom is being in charge of your life, health and happiness. My grandma used to always tell me “you are responsible for your own happiness,” and I think that sums up freedom.
A flatbed truck comes careening around the corner and I jump back to safety. There’s a long bench down the center of the truck’s bed with two rows of black convicts seated back to back, a total of maybe twenty men in chains, their bodies swaying with the lurching movement of the truck. The white guard in the passenger side of the cab is holding a shotgun. He stares at me, one of the convicts gives me a glance and then, with a roaring sound, the truck accelerates around the next curve and disappears. That was hitchhiking through Mississippi in 1964. Now it’s June 12, 2016, and my oldest son, my two grandsons and I are having grilled catfish and po-boy sandwiches at Jake and Rip’s in Grenada, Mississippi. Deneshea or “Dee” is our waitress, a cheerful, hard-working black woman who looks like she’s only a teenager. “Where do you go to school?” I ask. “I’m a senior at Old Miss and I’m majoring in speech pathology,” she answers, a young woman free to grow and prosper, free from the chains that imprisoned her ancestors.

XAVIER RUDD CONVENING HIS U.N. AT WANDERLUST WHEN XAVIER RUDD played in Snowmass two summers back, the Australian virtuoso brought along a rhythm section to back him up on-stage — an unusual sight at the time for Rudd, who had won a fervent global fanbase over the past dozen years with his dynamic, rootsy multi-instrumental solo performances. Clearly, he didn’t mind sharing the spotlight and the sonic workload. Rudd has since started touring and recording with an eight-member band of world music all-stars. They play guitar, bass, drums, keys, horns, flute, saxophone and sing backup vocals. They hail from Australia, South Africa, Samoa, Germany and Papa New Guinea. And they’re aptly named The United Nations. The global collective is featured on Rudd’s 2015 roots reggae album, “Nanna.” “Everyone comes with an interesting story and past, and they bring that ancestral story into the music,” Rudd told The Aspen Times last year before his local debut with The United Nations at Belly Up Aspen. “Everyone comes from a different place, a different culture — in a lot of cases there’s been a lot of struggle and all of that is brought to the table and discussed musically. It’s a powerful exchange that’s going on onstage spiritually as well. It’s really special. I feel honored to be part of it.” On Saturday night, Rudd will headline the music lineup at the yoga and music festival Wanderlust Aspen Snowmass, which features DJs and live performers all day Thursday through Sunday. Other highlights include Steel Pulse (Thursday, 8:30 p.m.) and Son Little (Saturday, 8 p.m.). This is Rudd’s “Graceland” moment, tapping into new musical textures and traditions with global collaborators on an ambitious new record. The album opens with the anthemic, Marley-esque “Flag,” and grows in dimension as it progresses in songs that celebrate flavors of music from around the globe within its reggae context. As listeners have come to expect, Rudd writes mostly about environmental issues and spiritual matters on “Nanna,” scolding

corporations for “spraying your chemical to increase your decimal” on “Halalei” and then, on “Sacred,” asking “Why are we so divided?” If those are the problems on Rudd’s mind, the musical multiculturalism The United Nations represents and the welcoming sound it creates seems to be his answer. Rudd says he’s always wanted to put together a big band of world musicians to make a reggae album, but didn’t want to rush it. He didn’t hold auditions for a band or even really put out a call for musicians, he says. Instead he recruited United Nations members steadily along the way and added musicians one by one. “Once I put it out to the universe, it just all came together organically,” he says.
Since his 2002 debut, “To Let,” the 38-year-old Australian has played mostly as a one-man band, taking the stage with a complex instrumental setup that’s worthy of Rube Goldberg: three didgeridoos, a slide guitar on his lap and more string instruments at his side, a stompbox at his feet, with drums, dobros, banjos, harmonicas and more within reach. Playing them all and singing, his sets quickly became must-see concerts when they came through town and won him a fervent worldwide fanbase, including a Colorado contingent that has packed his shows in recent years at Belly Up, Jazz Aspen’s Labor Day Festival and the Mammoth Festival. As he went it alone instrumentally, Rudd said, his vocals were little

more than an afterthought. On “Nanna,” he shows more range and offers a reggae-friendly wail. “On this record I actually had a chance to focus more on my vocal performance and telling the story,” he explains. “And that’s been cool. It’s been nice to focus on that. I never really liked my voice that much, and I’m embracing it now. I’m playing with it a little more and giving it some attention.” Before they went into the studio, Rudd and his new bandmates spent a lot of time recording and perfecting the songs on “Nanna.” Rudd didn’t want the album to have a studio session sound to it. The songs’ natural home is on the stage. “It’s actually better live,” he says.
by ANDREW TRAVERS
“The comments I’ve gotten from people who’ve seen a lot of shows over the years have said this is hands down the best experience they’ve had. It’s the best experience I’ve had.” The band also has worked up new arrangements of songs from his back catalogue. Late in the making of “Nanna,” the record was given one of the ultimate blessings and validations a reggae record can receive. Errol Brown, the Jamaican recording engineer for Bob Marley & the Wailers, Peter Tosh and other legends, mixed the album at the Marleys’ Tuff Gong Studios. “He got really into it,” Rudd says. “I thought it was done, and the next minute he’s sending me 10 more mixes of it. It was hard to keep up.”

INTELLIGENT EXERCISE
BOOK REVIEW
‘THE ANIMALS: A NOVEL’ “MY GOD that you could walk through such a landscape. My god that such a landscape existed anywhere but in your dreams. And yet here it was.” Californiabased novelist Christian Kiefer creates a gorgeous, desolate tableau in which his characters are bewitched by natural beauty even as they’re betrayed by human actions, especially their own. Wildlife rescuer Bill Reed and his unofficial Idaho sanctuary are in peril as The Animals begins, when the district game warden threatens to close the place down, citing federal environmental rules and regulations. Meanwhile, Bill’s nightmarish past catches up with him, when Rick, who was once his closest friend, is released from a long stretch in prison. The two were inseparable during their bleak childhoods in Battle Mountain, Nevada, enduring family tragedies and alcoholic parents. Together, they later escaped

NOTEWORTHY to Reno, only to get lost in dead-end jobs, drugs and trouble with the law. Now, Rick has returned in search of the money they netted in a longago burglary. Or perhaps it’s really vengeance he wants; the threat of violence hovers over the novel like a pall. What solace there is comes by way of Bill’s animals, all of them once wild, most now recovering from various traumas in cages or enclosures, yet still pulsing with life. Bill has fled his gambling addiction and subsequent debt, seeking redemption in a solitary life in the woods. “A geography of snowed-over silence. Elk would come down through the trees on their way to the meadows in the south, their calls echoing up from those blank white plains.” Kiefer’s narrative voice recalls that

of Faulkner, complete with a blind bear named “Majer.” The bear’s presence haunts the reader; from the beginning, we fear for Majer’s life. Bill’s harsh and precarious world is increasingly endangered, and as the novel unfolds, our fears are realized in unpredictable ways and with unforeseen consequences. Lovers of wilderness and of words will find both pleasure and sorrow in the rich, lyrical sentences of The Animals. “Were a fox to step out from behind the trees and speak in human words, or a raven to descend wearing a suit coat and a top hat, you would not have been surprised. Worlds overlapping.”
