THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
by ANDREW TRAVERS
FESTIVAL PAINTERS from across the Centennial State are setting up their easels around Aspen and capturing local scenes and scenery. You’ve probably seen them downtown at the dancing fountain or at work at Maroon Lake or at the Grottos up Independence Pass. The painters are in town for Aspen Plein Air. Now in its sixth year, the festival brings 21 artists from across Colorado to the Aspen area. Artists arrived on Aug. 9 and are expected to complete at least six paintings each. This year the festival is being hosted by the Red Brick Center for the Arts (previously it was produced by the Telluride Sheridan Arts Foundation and the Wheeler Opera House), with sales benefiting the local nonprofit. The Red Brick will host a community reception — free and open to the public — on Thursday, Aug. 13 with food by local chef Daniel Theme and a preview of one work by each Plein Air artist. The audience will vote on their favorite works. The annual “Quick Draw” competition, on the Mill Street pedestrian mall, is Friday Aug. 14 beginning at 10:30 a.m. Artists have two hours to complete a new painting from start to finish. Paintings will be onsale immediately after the competition. And Friday through Sunday the Limelight Hotel hosts an exhibition and sale of the works, showcasing new one-of-a-kind artworks created in Aspen about Aspen. The sale runs 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday. More information at pleinairaspen.org.
Aspen Plein Air will bring artists from across Colorado to town to paint outdoors.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
with JOHN COLSON
What is all this caterwauling about Planned Parenthood? LAST WEEK the Republicans in both houses of Congress tried to defund Title X, the nation’s family-planning program that funds Planned Parenthood, citing misleading video clips that conservatives claim are proof that Planned Parenthood is selling aborted-fetus parts for big-bucks profits. The effort failed when the U.S. Senate balked, but the rabid Republicans of Congress, and now the equally rabid candidates for the GOP nomination for president, have vowed that they will not rest until Planned Parenthood has been killed. What? I repeat: WHAT?!?!? The video, produced by an anti-abortion organization known as The Center for Medical Progress, was actually an undercover sting by operatives trying desperately to get Planned Parenthood officials to say incriminating things on video. And Dr. Deborah Nicatola, senior director of medical service with Planned Parenthood, was recorded frankly discussing medical procedures that were all perfectly legal, as are the fees associated with preserving fetal tissues for research, but the people behind the recorder did their damnedest to make it sound as evil and disgusting as they could. And now, as they say, it’s out there for all to see, and for right-wing demagogues to holler about without pause or cause. Of course, at this point, we don’t know all of what actually was said at that luncheon discussion, where wine glasses festooned the table and a false friendship underscored the conversation. I gotta say, this all sounds so familiar. I recall back in 2009, there was a similar story about an outfit known as ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), which had a 40-year history of working on the kinds of things conservatives hate — voter registration drives for minorities and the poor, community organizing and advocacy for low- to moderate income folks, etc Two conservative operatives, Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe, portrayed themselves as looking for advice on how to criminally hide prostitution activities and avoid taxes, and asked ACORN representatives for help. The Giles-O’Keefe team got some quotes, went back to wherever they called home at the time, and put together a video clip to release to (guess who?) FOX News, the conservative movement’s mouthpiece, and an anti-government website called BigGovernment.com. The resultant furor killed ACORN’s funding from the federal government, ended its contracts with the U.S. Census Bureau and the Internal Revenue Service, and basically killed the organization. By late 2010, ACORN had filed for bankruptcy and disbanded. The problem was, subsequent
investigations by attorneys general in several states showed that the whole “scandal” was a lie. The tapes had been massively edited to make it look as though an ACORN employee was trying to help these two scheming right-wingers, when in fact she was not. That was determined after a California AG promised Giles and O’Keefe immunity from prosecution if he could view the raw tapes. But the damage was done, ACORN was out of business, and a number of poor people were the ultimate losers because of a lie. This “sting” with Planned Parenthood is the same sort of thing. The defunding of Planned Parenthood passed in the House, then failed in the Senate, but rabid Republicans have vowed to vote down any federal budget bill that contains funding for Planned Parenthood in September, and are threatening to stage a government-shutdown battle on Capitol Hill. This is the same kind of idiotic posturing and blustering the Republicans have been spouting over the tragic attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya, and as they once did over Bill Clinton’s peccadilloes with Monica Lewinsky, and as they have always done over anything that conflicted with their anachronistic, hallucinogenic view of what they think this county should have been but never really was back in the 1950s. As New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof pointed out on Aug. 2, the Republicans should be praising Planned Parenthood, not damning it, because the organization is “perhaps America’s most successful anti-abortion initiative.” He cited a report from the Guttmacher Institute, which studies reproductive health, that family-planning efforts such as those of Planned Parenthood, through counseling of young girls about everything from condoms to the dangers of unprotected sex in general, probably prevents 345,000 abortions every year by keeping those girls from getting pregnant, among other benefits. But Republicans, with their hypocritical, empty moralizing, have tried to demonize this beneficial institution for superficial political gains among the hysterical, ignorant and equally hypocritical members of the screeching class. It’s a classic example of what is now known as “echo chamber” politics, where hyper-conservative politicians, television commentators and delusional voters keep telling each other the same lies over and over until they take on the coloring of immutable truth, at least in the eyes of the screechers. And like Mitt Romney, the loser in 2012, they all seem irretrievably convinced that everyone sees the world through the same murky lens as they do, and will follow them down the mythical yellow brick road.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES
FROM the VAULT
by TIM WILLOUGHBY
Mary Elizabeth Lease campaigning for William Jennings Bryan.
RAISE LESS CORN AND MORE HELL You may expect that a presidential candidate’s visit to Aspen would
have been a highlight of the 1890s, and it was — sort of. When General James Weaver, the People’s Party candidate of 1892 came to town, firebrand Mary Elizabeth Lease overshadowed him. LEASE SPOKE TWICE on the same day: outside — during daytime — to a large crowd, and in the evening at the Wheeler. It was her second Aspen visit to campaign for the populist cause. Most populist speeches focused on silver and urged free coinage of the white metal, with no cap on how much the government could buy. Weaver and Lease advocated the policy, but not for the same reason their Aspen audience did. People’s Party candidates concerned themselves with issues of enlarging the supply of money and preventing Wall Street banks from controlling the economy. Locals felt more concern for silver as the town’s livelihood. Jobs were at stake. Lease brought down the house when she said, “Since last I had the pleasure of addressing the greathearted people of Aspen, a mighty movement has arisen; not confined to any one section, but sweeping over every portion. The people begin to realize that the poor are growing poorer and the rich richer and are gathering under the white banner of exact justice to all,

special privileges to none.” Lease rose to prominence in Kansas while advocating against railroad rates and exorbitant mortgage interest rates, which were crippling farmers. She was also associated with the fight
disorganized, that she was not articulate, and that many considered her vulgar. Her detractors often repeated the derogatory identifier, “the petticoated smut mill.” She took the stage as a political speaker
LEASE BROUGHT DOWN THE HOUSE WHEN SHE SAID, “SINCE LAST I HAD THE PLEASURE OF ADDRESSING THE GREATHEARTED PEOPLE OF ASPEN, A MIGHTY MOVEMENT HAS ARISEN; NOT CONFINED TO ANY ONE SECTION, BUT SWEEPING OVER EVERY PORTION. THE PEOPLE BEGIN TO REALIZE THAT THE POOR ARE GROWING POORER AND THE RICH RICHER AND ARE GATHERING UNDER THE WHITE BANNER OF EXACT JUSTICE TO ALL, SPECIAL PRIVILEGES TO NONE.” for prohibition and women’s suffrage in the 1880s as a state leader in the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. While she did not actually say “raise less corn and more hell” she agreed with the phrase and let the attribution stand. Wikipedia says her speeches were often criticized for being
Aug u st 13 - Aug u st 19 , 20 15
at a time when it was considered inappropriate for women to involve themselves in politics, and was criticized as much for being an outspoken woman as for what she had to say. But her presence, beautiful full voice, and boisterous outspokenness pleased audiences, as was reported when she spoke in Aspen.
She grew dissatisfied with the People’s Party after the election of 1892 and dropped out. She did not favor the Democratic Party, but campaigned for William Jennings Bryan, who held closest to her tightlyheld views, in 1896. She dropped out of the public eye afterward, and worked as an attorney. But public interest in Lease revived when Roosevelt and the Progressives took up and enacted the issues she had championed. Although Lease was never as wellknown as another Elizabeth from the same time period, crusader Elizabeth Cady Stanton, she was well-known in the West. The closest parallel to her today might be a third Elizabeth, Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective. Reach him at redmtn2@comcast.net.

BIK I NG BUDDIES
1869 ASPEN
PHOTO COURTESY OF THE ASPEN HISTORICAL SOCIETY
ON JUNE 24, 1896, the Aspen Daily Times reported on the idea of “bicycle grooms.” As the newspaper explained, “there is one difficulty in the path of women who ride the bicycle which is not felt by those who are sisters, cousins or aunts to any member of the male persuasion, but which, nevertheless, is an obstacle for those who are not, since the finding of a bicycle escort is no trifling matter. Very emphatically, a woman should not go far from home on her wheel alone, not only because of the possibility of a breakdown in some part of her machine, which, after all, is of delicate construction, and the consequent walk home, but because of the fear of tramps and vicious boys. From this necessity of women who have no men to ride with them will doubtless be evolved a new position for respectable young men — that of bicycle groom. It soon may be no uncommon sight to see a bevy of girls, all awheel, under the charge of a responsible lad who can be depended upon to ‘pump up,’ mend punctures, screw nuts and bolts, adjust the saddles, oil pedals and attend to the thousand and one details from which feminine muscles and feminine understandings shrink abjectly.”

GEAR of the WEEK
by STEPHEN REGENOLD
LOOKING AHEAD: OUTDOOR GEAR 2016 THIS WEEK I am in Salt Lake City to roam the aisles and trek pavilions at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market. The twice-annual trade show is an ultimate inside scoop on new gear coming to market. Look for these items on store shelves in 2016.
Touted as the “thinnest, lightest, most efficient” solar charger, this sleek, 4-ounce panel is capable of charging an iPhone 6+ in 2.5 hours, the company claims. It measures about 3.5 x 7.5 inches for portability in a pocket.
GRAPHICAL TENTS:
BIG AIR:
BRIEFCASE CAMP STOVE:
TITANIUM YARN:
Field Candy, a British tent brand, makes a push into the American market with a line of colorful, graphic-intense shelters. From natural scenes to wild, cartoonsplashed walls, these tents give the option for flare heretofore unseen at a campsite. The Primus Onja stove has two burners and a sleek design. The case folds open and closed, and an oak lid doubles as a cutting board, giving you a place to prepare food.
SOLAR BACKPACK:
Gregory and Goal Zero teamed up to launch the Baltoro 75 GZ, which adds a solar panel to the top of a backpack. It lets you hike and soak in the sun to recharge gadgets on the trail.
ULTIMATE CLIMBER’S KNIFE:
Designed with one of the world’s top climbers, the NIAD knife by Columbia River Knife and Tool weighs 0.6 ounces and is built for the rigors of life on a big wall in Yosemite and beyond. It has a 1.5inch blade and folds small to clip on a carabiner.
CLAMP-ON AX:
A milled hunk of solid titanium serves as the base for the Ti-KLAX Multi-Tool Ax. It mounts to a handle or almost any solid piece of wood via an embedded clamp. Bonus: The “multi-tool” part comes from the product’s built-in blade, hook, wrenches, driver, hammer, and carabiner clip.
BIKES FROM SNOWMOBILE BRAND:
Polaris has made e-bikes in the past. But this summer the brand makes a new push with its pedalassisted bicycles, including a camo motif. The battery-power bikes can go for miles and up to 20mph between charge-ups.

A huge top valve opens wide for fast inflation on the NeoAir Camper SV from Therm-a-Rest. The air mattress “inflates in seconds and deflates in a flash,” the company touts. You get a three-inch-thick sleeping mattress with raised side-rails so you can’t easily roll off at night.
This tech t-shirt from Adidas, the Terrex Climachill Agravic 1/2 Zip, is made of a material the company touts has “moisture and cooling management” via tiny aluminum spheres embedded in the microfiber fabric and titanium yarns. No word if its metallurgy sets off airport security alarms. Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

Now you can benefit from a unique opportunity at ArtAspen Discover redM (Rediscovered Masters) — a unique organization that differs from any gallery in the world. We are scholars shedding light on important artists who, for various fascinating reasons, slipped from the limelight and were overlooked — until now. This week you can experience the works of four creative geniuses of the first generation of Abstract Expressionism. Working in four different styles, they were key players in what historically was the most seismic change the art world experienced in the twentieth century. Our artist estate collections are identified and vetted by our Art Advisory Board of distinguished critics and historians. The quality of our artists’ works proves them to be innovative geniuses, not derivative followers.
Now you can enjoy a rare window of opportunity to collect these Masters. You’ll view them at Art Aspen before they are even seen in New York this fall. That’s when we will release our story to the mass media in conjunction with a major exhibition. Join our early collectors now and you’ll enjoy our introductory prices — before the gallery exhibitions start nationally. When you acquire important art you make your home an island of pleasure and sophistication. Every day you will discover the emotional intensity in art that gives us brilliant evidence of true innovation and a celebration of life. And that makes our own lives so much richer. Moreover, you’ll be fascinated to learn the backstories of four compelling artists who became highly idiosyncratic, reclusive, and even agoraphobic.

PINOT NOIR: THE GLOBAL GRAPE COLLECTORS MAY COVET cabs. Millionaires perhaps favor merlot. But lovers are most passionate about pinot noir. No other grape is as versatile, as difficult, as transitory and as loved as pinot noir. While it is just the 10th most planted grape in the world, trailing varietals like chardonnay, syrah and yes, even tempranillo, pinot noir is the go-to KELLY J. HAYES wine for almost any occasion and with almost any cuisine. Long deemed to be fussy, pinot noir is, nonetheless, grown around the world in some of the most unlikely places one might expect. Originally prized by Cistercian Monks in 1330, who cultivated the grape in the Burgundy region of France, it now thrives in places as diverse as California, Oregon, Argentina, Italy, South Africa and Australia. From Central Otago, on the southernmost portion of New Zealand’s South Island, which lies 45 degrees below the equator, to Ahr in Germany, which, at 50 degrees north is the northernmost red wine growing region on the planet, over 300,000 acres of vineyards are planted to the grape globally. France and the United States lead the way in production, as you might expect, but countries like Austria, Moldavia and yes, even Great Britain, host pinot vines. One could say that pinot noir is the global grape. So what’s the attraction? Well, for starters, elegance and flavor. Pinot noir can be produced in a number of different styles and each can be, and should be, reflective of its place of origin. Great Burgundy, from the source, is a revelation, and the wines of the region, particularly from the 24 Grand Cru regions of the Côte de Nuits, command some of the highest prices of any wines in the world. A trip to Burgundy to see the patchwork, postage stampsized vineyards, many of which are farmed by horse and hand, is like a trip to Mecca for those who are passionate about pinot. Wines from Burgundy tend to

be light in style, translucent and elegant. The taste from the best of these wines exudes the flavor of the terroir, that would be the aroma of the earth and flowers and mushrooms and soils and, well, everything, including the manure that is found in the fields where the grapes are grown. Once you taste it, you never forget it. California is home to a number of different regions where pinot thrives, and there are also a number of different styles of the wine that are being produced. While traditionally the majority of California pinot noir producers have favored bigger, more intense expressions of the varietal, there is a growing movement of winemakers inclined to pick their grapes a little earlier and to keep the alcohol levels lower, producing wines that are more Burgundian in style. The “In Pursuit of Balance” movement, started in 2011 by Jasmine Hirsch of Hirsch Vineyards and Raj Parr of Sandhi Wines, is dedicated to the concept that pinot noir and chardonnay should reflect the personalities of the variety rather than the personalities of the producers. There are 33 member wineries in the organization, and it has already had a profound effect on the wines being made in California. New Zealand, particularly the South Island regions of Central Otago and Marlborough, have been known for the past few years as emerging pinot hot spots. But there is a new neighborhood called North Canterbury on the east coast of the island that is worth keeping an eye on. The Mt. Beautiful 2012 pinot is elegant with a hint of racy spices and a herbaceous quality that takes you to the land of the Kiwis. And in the Rio Negro region of southern Argentina, the Incisa Della Rocchetta family, owners of Tenuta San Guido in Italy, have paired with Aspen’s Tony Mazza to produce the Bodega Chacra “Barda” pinot noir. These wines, sourced from old vines in a virtual desert, are both delicious and eye-opening, showcasing the adaptability of the grape. I am off in a few days to the Willamette Valley of Oregon, which this year, celebrates the 50th
Aug u st 13 - Aug u st 19 , 20 15
anniversary of the first planting of pinot noir in the region. I am looking forward to seeing the vines and tasting the wines of the world’s most versatile grape. While one can drink pinot anywhere, it is particularly inspiring to do so in the place of its origin. There is a wide world out there and, fortunately, it is filled with amazing pinot. Enjoy.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE SEA SMOKE 2012 “SOUTHING” PINOT NOIR I have a friend who swears by the excellent wines produced in these extraordinary biodynamic vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills.

FOOD MATTERS
COLORADO LOVE
SNACKS ATTACK ACROSS THE STATE THE USA PRO CHALLENGE rolls into Aspen on Wednesday before returning east to Breckenridge on Thursday, and with it comes a groundswell of Colorado pride. (It also draws a peloton of naysayers, who find the road closures and mass invasion of spandexclad wannabes more cause for complaining than celebration. But that’s not the point of AMANDA RAE this piece.) As it turns out, August is the month of “Colorado Proud,” a statewide campaign started in 1999 that urges consumers to purchase and enjoy more local foods. (You’ll notice the Colorado Proud logo with purple mountains and yellow sunburst on packaging of some 2,000 products in grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and garden centers.) This year the initiative includes a “Choose Colorado Produce Challenge,” a contest to “encourage consumers to think about where their produce comes from and understand the many ways they can support the local economy by buying and eating Colorado produce,” according to a Colorado Department of Agriculture press release. As our ever-crowded Aspen Saturday Market proves: Aspenites are all about local fruits and vegetables. But as I learned while perusing my neighborhood food mart, Roxy’s Market in the Aspen
Butte, Norwood, Parachute, and Telluride), and even City Market in Aspen, flaunts a plethora of Colorado-made products. For us, the “Colorado Challenge” is cake. What’s more, this ties into the fact that, according to the Colorado Tourism Office, “outdoor trips” is the leading category of marketable trips — those influenced by promotion —in Colorado, totaling 3.22 million trips in 2014. “Outdoor is at least responsible for 20 percent of trips to the state, which is huge,” notes CTO public relations contractor Carly Holbrook. A few weeks ago, I embarked on a CTO-sponsored, two-night hut trip with a group of adventure journalists. As one of only a few local writers, I recall a memorable moment when our guides unveiled a giant brown paper bag brimming with adventure snacks, all made in Colorado. A few of our favorite goodies in that bag: —Skratch Labs natural hydration mixes and nutrition fruit drops, from the same research-based outfit that prepares wholesome meals and snacks for USA Pro Challenge athletes. (The company published “The Feed Zone Cookbook” with endurance athletes in mind; skratchlabs.com). —Wacky Apple Organic Flat Fruit in Apple, Apple Cinnamon, and Wild Fruit: smashed and dehydrated fruit leathers made
we have to make the best chocolate,” the company proclaims. (chocolove. com) —Single-serve squeeze packs of Justin’s Nut Butter, born in Boulder in 2004 and taking the country by storm with seven flavors made with almonds, hazelnuts, and peanuts. Justin’s organic peanut butter cups, made with high-quality, Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa, are tops, too. (justins.com)
AUGUST IS THE MONTH OF “COLORADO PROUD,” A STATEWIDE CAMPAIGN STARTED IN 1999 THAT URGES CONSUMERS TO PURCHASE AND ENJOY MORE LOCAL FOODS. Business Center, on my first day here a few years ago, there are gads of Colorado-made products on shelves, too. Stockist Courtney Lawler estimates that Roxy’s sells more than a hundred products —from soups, salad dressings, and salsas to cheeses, yogurt, honey, jam, and tea — all indicated with lime-green LOCAL labels. Recently I was happy to discover that my favorite proteinpacked snack, Noosa “Australian” Yoghurt, is made over in Bellvue, outside of Fort Collins.

A scan of retail shelves in Aspen shows evidence of an entire Colorado cottage industry of granola and trail mix: Fiona’s Ginger-Walnut Granola; Bobo’s Oat Bars; Two Moms in the Raw gluten-free granola; Boulder Granola; Udi’s Granola; and Mrs. Barr’s Natural Foods, which churns out small batches of granola, granola bars, and trail mix from Basalt. Aspen Crunch, started by Aspen High School student Jack Paley and sold exclusively at the Aspen Saturday Market, creates granola in addition to popular
dehydrated fruit snacks such as Pyramid Peak Pineapple and Rim Trail Recovery (a bananastrawberry blend). On a savory note, Aspen Meat Works makes gourmet South African beef jerky (biltong) in flavors including black pepper coriander and peri-peri chili; Steve’s Meat Market has been processing wild game, including beef jerky, in Arvada since 1976. Snack Out Loud, another Denverbased company, recently unveiled “power puffs,” bean- and brown rice-based munchables marketed as a fiber-rich alternative to Cheetos, and crunchy bean snack bars. They’re a lot tastier than that sounds. Wash down all of these snacks with a cascade of energy drinks and supplements, including Petey’s Bing, a caffeinated beverage made with Colorado cherry juice, plus flavors with blackberry and raspberry; Head On, a sportshydration drink with antioxidants; and PepPod, a tablet containing 75 trace minerals, electrolytes, vitamins, and amino acids. Heading out on an adventure this week? Be sure to stock up. amandaraewashere@gmail.com

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS
by JEANNE MCGOVERN
VELVET ELVIS One day, many Food & Wine Classics ago, I discovered St. Germain elderflower liqueur. It was sweet yet bursting with subtle flavor, and I couldn’t wait to find more cocktails made with it. Alas, there were not many. And, over time, my fascination with St. Germain faded. Enter a recent dinner at Terra Bistro in Vail — and the Velvet Elvis. It was the perfect storm: a swank restaurant, a

lovely evening, a group of amazing people, a drink named after Elvis, and, yes, a cocktail featuring St. Germain. How could I resist? To my delight, the Velvet Elvis delivered. Made with Colorado vodka and St. Germain, it was perfectly balanced; a squeeze of lemon and the hard grape soda topper sealed the deal. I am sure the King would have been proud. Libations was created by beloved Aspen Times publisher, Gunilla Asher, who passed away June 2 , 2014 after a brave battle with cancer. Cheers — to Gunner!

ASPEN UNTUCKED
by BARBARA PLATTS
MATRIMONIAL MISCHIEF THE PATH TO ADULTHOOD THICKENS
THERE’S A SAYING that I often see online or while browsing my photo feed on Instagram that seems to accurately fit with the millennial generation, particularly the sect from 24 to 30. The phrase reads, “I’m at that awkward age where half of my friends are having kids and the other half are too drunk to find their cell phones.” This phrase is one I never get BARBARA tired of seeing. I’ve PLATTS been tagged in it or tagged others more times than I can even count. As ridiculous as it may sound, it’s entirely accurate. We are at an awkward age. And whether we are the drunkard who misplaced their iPhone, the hormonal crazed woman who is about to pop out a baby or we are somewhere in the middle, there is no doubt that we are all in a transitional period. This clever saying was on my mind this weekend when a childhood friend finally tied the knot with her boyfriend of nine years at a wedding in Kansas City. They’d been together since they were teenagers. They’d even birthed a beautiful child together. But last weekend, they decided to combine forces and exchange vows, making a statement to the world that they
were ready to take the plunge into the rest of their lives as a unit. The wedding was not a surprise. If anything, I think most were asking why they waited so long to marry. But it got me thinking about that phrase and where my friends are at in their lives today. All of us are somewhere between a onenight stand, deciding on someone we want to potentially be with for the rest of our life and co-creating something that we are stuck with for the rest of our life (i.e. baby). My friends run the gamut on this scale. Some are married with kids, others are in serious relationships, a few are heavy into the dating scene and still others are truly enjoying the single life. And where did I fall on the spectrum? I haven’t lost my cell phone recently. However, I have gotten intoxicated enough that it wouldn’t have been a surprise to lose it. As far as relationships go, I’ve been in a solid one for more than a year with a guy who I’ve been good friends with for about six years. We are nowhere near marriage, but this September we are moving in together, which may be a small step for mankind, but it’s a colossal one for us. Last Saturday at the wedding in Kansas City, in between mingling and dancing, we exchanged thoughts on where we we’re at in comparison to others. The funny
thing is that we felt a bit behind when it came to our Midwestern friends (I was born in Kansas and he in Minnesota). Just at the wedding alone, it felt like most girls my age were already married. Others weren’t even hitched but they had babies (yes, plural) running around on the dance floor. Yet in Aspen, we felt like an extremely serious couple, light-years ahead of most of our friends who are still enjoying the casual dating scene that is so common here in this town. We just didn’t know quite where we fit in, whether it be in our respective hometowns or our current residence, but more importantly, we weren’t sure it even mattered. After college, we all expect to follow a certain path. We are told that it is best to get a career-related job, date around to find the love of your life, at which point you will become engaged, married and with children. All the while excelling in your career and maintaining relationships with good friends and family members. There’s a cookiecutter route that many of us, myself included, feel like we should end up following. However, as I get older, I realize that nothing is ever what we expect and sometimes that’s where the adventure lies. We have friends who are in their 60s and never had kids and they’re some of the
happiest people we know. Others have waited until they are into their 40s to consider reproducing, making sure they explore the world as much as they can before they settle down. No, I didn’t anticipate being this crazy in love with another person at the early age of 25, sharing a dog and a place. But I wouldn’t trade what I have now for anything. With him, every day is an adventure. I feel like we are both constantly growing as a couple and, more importantly, as individuals. We fall in that gray area, somewhere between losing our phones and producing offspring. But, luckily, that’s exactly where I want to be. We all seem to have lingering doubts about where we fit or where we should be at this point. But maybe we needn’t worry so much. Like most things in life, I think we just have to roll with the punches and see where we land, never compromising for less than what we think we deserve. Even if we feel like things aren’t entirely on schedule, I still think they will work out in the end, no matter how out of order our paths may be. Now, where the hell did I put my cell phone? Barbara Platts is slowly learning that making her own path is the best way to experience life. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

WALKING TOURS TAKE CENTER STAGE VISITORS TO TIMES SQUARE looking for some theater history may be discouraged at the idea of dodging flocks of Elmo impersonators, Statue of Liberties and Naked Cowboys. A good guide is as important as a stiff elbow. Guides can tell you where Barbra Streisand made her Broadway debut, which Broadway theater is haunted by a former Ziegfeld girl wearing a green dress and which theater was strictly segregated. The Associated Press jumped aboard four top walking tours of the theater district to get the low-down, trying not to hum the Stephen Sondheim lyric: “I’m just a Broadway baby/ Walking off my tired feet/Pounding 42nd Street.” BROADWAY UP CLOSE Highlights: Ducking inside the massive AMC Empire 25 movie complex on 42nd Street to find a hiding former Broadway theater inside; story and photos of the secret apartment above the Belasco Theatre; hearing about the bizarre roof top shenanigans atop a theater built by Oscar Hammerstein I; learning why the colors of Equity Cards constantly change. Program: Three tours, each about 1 hour, 45 minutes. Cost: $35 per adult, children (12 and younger) $30. Days: Every day at 11 a.m. Selling point: Smart, funny and fascinating tours started by founder Tim Dolan, a theater veteran with an infectious style. Accommodates: Up to 15 people. Visual aid: iPad packed with photos. Audio: Guides wear a small speaker around their neck. Meeting point: Depends on which tour you take, but the first one starts at the Nederlander Theatre on 41st Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues. Why choose them: “It has to be a tour guide who is passionate and it is their life. That’s important to me,” Dolan says. “Everyone who comes on the tour, they don’t know that they want to know this history because it’s history and history sounds boring. But if you find the right things to talk about, anyone will be fascinated.” Online: www.broadwayupclose.com DISNEY ON BROADWAY: BEHIND THE MAGIC Highlights: Access to Disney Theatrical props at the New Amsterdam Theatre, including a chance to wear the coat from “Mary Poppins”; get into Ariel’s seashell tub from “The Little Mermaid”; handle some carbon graphite masks from “The Lion King”; and examine a fancy shoe
from “Beauty and the Beast” (there’s a run-of-the-mill Reebok high-top underneath). Program: 2 hours, 30 minutes. Cost: $72 per adult; children (3-11) $65 Days: Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. Selling point: The only tour to actually get you inside a Broadway theater and to handle some real props. Accommodates: Up to 25 people. Visual aid: Laminated photos. Audio: Each person gets a headset to hear guide the talk, as well as listen to snippets of songs. Meeting point: Duffy Square at 46th and Broadway by the George M. Cohan statue. Why choose them: “There are a lot of great guides in New York and a lot of them really know their stuff and we’re lucky to have them. But nowadays the demand is more and more for a little bit more immersive experience and going a little bit deeper,” Stephen Oddo, co-founder of parent company Walks of New York. “You can find information pretty easily on your own. To be able to go into a theater, that’s a whole different story.” Online: www.walksofnewyork.com/new-york-tours
INSIDE BROADWAY TOURS Highlights: Gossip on actress Ethel Barrymore (she hated clutter and, weirdly, applause); visiting the Hotel Edison to see the place where a scene from “The Godfather” was filmed; learning about theater superstitions (“break a leg” and not saying “Macbeth” out loud). Program: 1 hour, 45 minutes Cost: Adults $35; children 12 and under, free Days: Every day at 4 p.m. Selling point: Cheerful, knowledgeable guides, all working actors and theater fans. Accommodates: Up to 20 people. Visual aid: Laminated photos. Audio: Guides wear a small speaker around their neck. Meeting point: Duffy Square at 46th and Broadway by the George M. Cohan statue. Why choose them: “It’s the authentic, immersive nature of our tour,” says Andrew Luan, the founder. “It’s not that hard to start a tour company. I think what we have is a process to source, manage and maintain quality. I think that’s our differentiator.” Online: www.insidebroadwaytours.com
In this undated photo released by Disney on Broadway: Behind the Magic, a guide displays one of the carbon graphite masks from “The Lion King” inside the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York. The Disney on Broadway: Behind the Magic tour is the only walking tour that lets visitors handle props from Broadway shows.

Cyclists in the USA Pro Challenge will get a close look at Independence Pass twice this year.
TWICE AS NICE USA PRO CHALLENGE RETURNS TO ICONIC INDEPENDENCE PASS AS CYCLISTS SUMMIT THE DIVIDE TWICE by DALE STRODE
T
he Pass. Around Aspen, the Pass stands alone, with a capital P. That’s Independence Pass, a Colorado crown jewel in the world of cycling. Independence Pass is back on the route for the USA Pro Challenge, the Colorado cycling stage race that makes an annual stop in Aspen next week. After a one-year absence, the Pass will return with a double dose for 2015. Independence Pass will be part of Stage 3 this year when the pro peloton starts at Copper Mountain and finishes in downtown Aspen on Wednesday, Aug. 19. The USA Pro cyclists will climb Independence Pass from the Leadville/Twin Lakes side.

Cyclists ride near Twin Lakes in a breakaway during the 2013 USA Pro Challenge after descending Independence Pass on their way toward Breckenridge. Independence Pass, one of Colorado’s classic climbs, is back on the USA Pro Challenge route next week.
The critical and high-speed descent will take the cyclists ripping down seasonal Highway 82 for the stage finish in Aspen. The road bikers will face the even bigger, 4,000-foot Independence Pass climb out of Aspen the next day. Stage 4 will start in Aspen on Thursday, Aug. 20, with an opening ascent to the 12,095-foot summit of the Pass. That’s just the warmup on Stage 4, which will finish eventually in Breckenridge. The 2015 USA Pro Challenge will open Monday, Aug. 17, with the Steamboat Springs Circuit Race. But iconic Independence Pass, open only in summer, will be a focus for the race teams this year, considering its rich legacy in the four-year history of the Colorado pro stage race. The drama and mystic of the Pass emerged in 2011, the first year of the Pro Challenge. Huge, Tour de Francestyle enthusiastic crowds lined the Pass and its challenging switchbacks. That first climb of Independence Pass from Twin Lakes provided spectacular television and competitive racing among all the big names in the initial tour. Ironically, the descent trumped the climb in producing theatrics that led to George Hincapie’s stunning victory in the rain in downtown Aspen. “That was a great day,” Hincapie said in recent interview with The Aspen Times. “I was fortunate to stay at a friend’s house (in Aspen) a week before the race. I got in some altitude training, and I got to do some recon (reconnaissance) on the climb and the downhill.” Yes, the downhill. As that 2011 race unfolded on the Pass with the rain falling, the race leaders had a decision to make at the summit. Do they get full rain jackets from their crews? Just vests? Or no jacket?

Aug u st 13 - Aug u st 19 , 20 15
Hincapie, with the wisdom of 17 years riding in the Tour de France, did not hesitate. He stopped for a full jacket. So did Tejay van Garderen. And Christian Vande Velde, among others. Leader Levi Leipheimer skipped the jacket and charged down the top cut, turned left and headed for the ghost town of Independence as the temperature fell along with the rain. Hincapie and the jackets soon passed the noodle-armed Leipheimer, who went into full shiver mode. Hincapie then timed his final surge, charging across the finish line and triumphantly raising his right arm in celebration – a seminal moment in Aspen cycling captured on the front page of The Aspen Times. “It was a really special victory,” Hincapie said, adding that it turned into a pivotal moment for him late in his career. “I had no idea, prior to that, how big the cycling community was in Aspen. To see all the people cheering and enjoying the race was great.” He said his training rides coming down the Pass helped tremendously on a race descent compounded by wet pavement. The previews of the climb on the Leadville side, he said, helped set the stage for the eventual stage win in 2011. And Hincapie has been coming back to Aspen ever since, in between his duties with the family business, Hincapie Sportswear, not to mention his pro cycling team and his youth development cycling team. “I’ve come to enjoy this community. I come here as often as I can,” said Hincapie, who joined former pro teammate Lance Armstrong for a recent charity ride in Aspen to raise money for Wapiyai, a Colorado camp for families dealing with childhood cancer. Earlier this summer, members of Hincapie’s pro cycling team and his younger development team spent time training in Aspen – including time on Independence Pass. “You can’t really beat this place for training,” Hincapie said.

The USA Pro Challenge bike race is coming to town for the fifth straight year, so get ready Aspen, because depending on your point of view, it could energize your life or tangle it up in a big way. “What I hope is we see a lot of people on the Pass and in town enjoying it and cheering for the racers,” said Nancy Lesley, director of events for the city of Aspen. Town will be crowded with local race fans and those from out of town, she said. “With the bike race comes this electrical excitement,” Lesley said. “A lot of people here bike and can relate to what these guys on bikes are putting their bodies through and how difficult that is.” But if you’re not a cycling fan, and especially if you have travel plans that involve Independence Pass on Aug. 19 or 20, brace yourself. However, unlike last year’s race, downvalley roads and Highway 82 west of Aspen will not be affected by this year’s race. Streets in town will begin to close down at 6 a.m. Aug. 18 to begin preparations for the end of Stage 3, which starts at Copper Mountain and comes over Independence Pass, and Stage 4, which starts in Aspen and heads back over the Pass to Breckenridge. Those closures will affect Roaring Fork Transportation Authority buses in town, which will detour via Hopkins Avenue starting at noon Aug. 18. Bus stops on Main Street will not have bus service during the detour period. Signs will be posted at bus stops indicating the closures. Main Street and Main Street bus stops also will be closed Aug. 19 starting at 6 a.m., and RFTA buses will continue to detour via Hopkins. The Hunter Creek bus will take a modified route and some stops will not be serviced. Check signs at bus stops to be sure. The Mountain Valley RFTA bus route will not be in service at all Aug. 19 from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. because Independence Pass will be closed at Mountain Valley to vehicle traffic that day from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The Pass will close at 1 p.m. at Twin Lakes on the eastern side that day. Riders are expected to arrive in town about 3:30 p.m. Aug. 19, Lesley said. On Aug. 20, inbound and outbound RFTA buses will detour via Garmisch Street until about 2 p.m., while the Hunter Creek bus will take the modified route again until that time. The Mountain Valley bus won’t run between about 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Independence Pass will close Aug. 20 at Mountain Valley from about 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Twin Lakes side will close at 8:30 a.m. to westbound traffic. The Pass closures will not affect bikers who want to ride up the Pass to watch the riders, Lesley said. Bikers can ride up the Pass until they encounter the five Colorado State Patrol cars that will be leading the race. At that point, officers will ask you pull over to let the riders by, she said. If you want to drive up the Pass, you will be able to park in many spots along the road, including Weller Trailhead, Grottos, Discovery/Braille Trailhead, Lost Man Trailhead, Independence Historic Townsite, Linkins Lake Trailhead and at the Pass summit. Spectators can stay all day at those areas but are not allowed to camp. Camping will be allowed at Difficult, Weller and Lost Man campgrounds along Highway 82 up the Pass. Sites along Lincoln Creek Road also will be available. Karin Teague, director of the Independence Pass Foundation, said her organization, which is dedicated to protecting the environment of the Independence Pass corridor, is happy with the way the U.S. Forest Service has handled the race in the past four years. The first year, when people were allowed to camp wherever, damaged tundra areas, she said. But ever since camping has been restricted to campgrounds, the problems have been alleviated, Teague said. “We’re very comfortable and pleased with the way it’s being managed,” she said.

“The altitude is a really big help for the boys.” His pro cyclists will be in the peloton when the USA Pro Challenge returns to Aspen next week. The second year of the Colorado stage race — 2012 — featured a solo breakaway and dramatic victory by Boulder’s Tom Danielson, who used his climbing on Cottonwood Pass and Independence Pass to fuel the stage win. Danielson, riding alone, held off the charging peloton on Main Street for the victory. Danielson, who finished second overall in the USA Pro Challenge last year, was scheduled to race in the 2015 Colorado race. But he was suspended from competition Aug. 2 right before the start of the Tour of Utah, where he was the two-time defending champion. Danielson was suspended for an out-of-competition test that showed synthetic testosterone, according to his announcement of the suspension. He’s awaiting the results of his backup, B sample. The next two years, 2013 and 2014, the USA Pro stage winners in Aspen prevailed in the Aspen/Snowmass Circuit Race. Superstar Peter Sagan overpowered the field and won the 2013 race in Aspen after spending 10 days training on Independence Pass. Sagan went on to win four stages in the 2013 USA Pro Challenge, all the while crediting his high-altitude training in the Aspen area. Last year, Boulder’s Kiel Reijnen outsprinted training partner Alex Howes to win in Aspen in the circuit race opener of the 2014 USA Pro Challenge. Who will be the winner in downtown Aspen in 2015? Two-time defending overall champion Tejay van Garderen of Aspen will not return, with his BMC team assignment at the Vuelta a Espana after his illness at the Tour de France. Runner-up Danielson will not return. Who then? Who will survive Independence Pass this year? dstrode@aspentimes.com

by ANDREW TRAVERS
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S BRIAN WILSON CONCERT BRIAN WILSON HAS SAID that after a tour next year celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds,” he’ll retire for good. He canceled a fall run through Europe this year, presumably to help with an Oscar campaign for “Love & Mercy,” the acclaimed new biopic about his groundbreaking early career with the Beach Boys and later years of abuse under the thumb of an exploitative therapist. Opportunities to see a performance by “the Mozart of rock ’n’ roll,” now 73, are dwindling. Chances are that his Aug. 6 show at Belly Up, headlining the annual Aspen fundraiser for Denver-based National Jewish Health, was his last in these parts. The show was far from perfect, but nonetheless provided a perfect opportunity to celebrate the indelible mark he left on pop music. Behind him, Wilson had a stellar seven-man band that did most of the heavy lifting during the nearly 30-song set. The band gorgeously recreated the elaborate sounds that Wilson imagined and arranged in the studio decades ago. Wilson leaned heavily on singer-guitarist (and Beach Boys founding member) Al Jardine, who sang most of the vocals, with his son Matt Jardine providing falsettos Wilson can no longer hit, and music director Darian Sahanaja leading most of the time on keys. The show kicked off with “California Girls” and included all the hits, running through a suite of car songs that ended with “Little Deuce Coupe,” and faithful renditions of “Surfer Girl,” “Sloop John B,” “God Only Knows,” “Help Me Rhonda,” “Good Vibrations,” “Surfin’ U.S.A.” — no iconic Beach Boys song went unturned and no casual fan went away disappointed. They performed one song – “Whatever Happened,” with Jardine on vocals — from Wilson’s new solo album, “No Pier Pressure,” and one from “Smile” along with a few deeper cuts like “In My Room.” Al Jardine, a spry 72, is an effective singer, his son is a great Brian Wilson mimic, and Sahanaja is a fantastic

“MUCH OF THE TIME IT FELT LIKE WATCHING A BEACH BOYS COVER BAND, WITH WILSON MORE AN UNCOMFORTABLE BIT OF STAGE DECORATION THAN A FULL-FLEDGED BANDMEMBER. THE ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD – MADE UP OF NATIONAL JEWISH’S GENEROUS, HIGH-SPIRITED DONORS – DIDN’T SEEM TO MIND AND KEPT THE MOOD FESTIVE.” keyboardist — these guys provided some high points. But much of the time it felt like watching a Beach Boys cover band, with Wilson more an uncomfortable bit of stage decoration than a full-fledged bandmember. The enthusiastic crowd – made up of National Jewish’s generous, highspirited donors – didn’t seem to mind and kept the mood festive. After staying seated through the first five songs, they filled the dance floor on a cover of “Do You Wanna Dance” and stayed there through the rollicking
set. There were a handful of sublime moments. Wilson played a stark “God Only Knows” mostly on his own, after introducing it as “a beautiful effeminate ballad,” and the band ended the night with a six-song encore, concluding with “Love and Mercy,” for which Wilson saved up some juice, delivering a sweet and heartrending take on the song that’s getting a major reconsideration as a Wilson anthem by way of the new film of the same name.
I’d seen Wilson 10 years ago at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, when he was on tour for “Smile,” his triumphant fourdecades-in-the-making solo album. The set list that day was a similarly crowd-pleasing Beach Boys hit parade, but Wilson did all the singing and, as I remember, sounded pretty good. This lesser performance in Aspen may be an outlier – altitude has undone much younger men on Aspen stages. Or it may signal that Wilson is entering into late Bob Dylan terrain, where the studio albums are excellent (“No Pier Pressure,” released in April, is worth a listen) but the live show is more of a chance for fans to genuflect before the genius, not necessarily to see him perform a great concert. That said, I was happy to bow down to Brian Wilson. atravers@aspentimes.com

INTELLIGENT EXERCISE
BOOK REVIEW
‘SNOWBLIND: STORIES OF ALPINE OBSESSION’ “SNOWBLIND,” the first collection of short stories by veteran travel writer and alpinist Daniel Arnold, explores mountaineering and the power it holds over the people who pursue it. Arnold’s characters are drawn irrevocably to the mountains they climb, and their obsession works strangely on their minds, pushing them into sometimes-terrifying realms of thought and behavior. The locations range from cabins at the base of Mount Hood, in Oregon, to brutal mountains at the edge of human settlement in Alaska. The stories’ protagonists tangle intimately with death in all its many faces, from storm-caused disasters to fatal falls and even suspected murder — as well as the lingering ache of mourning. Even when death is not imminent, the threat of it hovers at the edges of the stories. In one story, after a
dangerous climb, the mountaineers demolish a centuries-old cabin in a fury of pent-up emotion. In another, a climber’s accidental death drives those waiting at the bottom to drinking and then to blows. Both alpinists and those who find their outdoor enjoyment in less perilous pursuits will recognize the emotional landscape inhabited by Arnold’s characters. The wildness of grief, an encounter with an old flame, the underlying fear of loss — these are experiences common to all. Still, it’s the otherworldliness of climbing and the jagged beauty of the mountains that most grip the reader. In the collection’s finest story, “Ozdon,” Dane, a climber from Boulder and a native of the Wasatch, heads to Alaska to find a lost friend. The mountain where his friend vanished seems “torn from the earth,

a bone from below dripping with ice and crusted with jags of black rock.” It ensnares Dane physically and emotionally, drawing him in, as it has other climbers, “like flies to meat.” But Arnold avoids the traditional narrative arc of nobility and courage in the face of danger. The story of the climb remains unsettling and dark. It raises but never answers the question: What is the reward for all this risk and suffering? And, more important, what is its human cost?
