THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

FILM THE ANNUAL ADVENTURE FILM FESTIVAL MountainSummit returns to Aspen this week, with a slate of 30 documentaries exploring a broad definition of “adventure.” The festival runs through Sunday, Aug. 28 at the Wheeler Opera House and elsewhere around town. Thursday night’s films include “Holy (Un)Holy River” from local filmmaker Pete McBride, about his journey down the Ganges River. The program also includes “Kamchatka Steelhead Project,” a short about a joint U.S.-Russia partnership tracking fish populations. But the high point may be a talk by McBride and writer Kevin Fedarko, who collaborated on a story in the current National Geographic about their historic hike across the Grand Canyon. Friday night’s film programs include the feature “Almost Sunrise,” about two veterans who walked from Milwaukee to Los Angeles, and a “Meet the Peope” collection of eight short films about exceptional people. The critically acclaimed “Life, Animated” and “The Happy Film” both play Saturday night and the kids take over Sunday afternoon for an afternoon of family-friendly shorts. There also is a massive slate of off-screen special events and guests at this year’s festival. For more on those experiences at Mountain Summit, see our related story on page TKPAGE#. Prices range from $10 to $40 for single tickets and $45 to $135 for full festival passes. Both are on sale at the Wheeler Opera House box office, by calling 970-920-5770 or at www.aspenshowtix.com.

The acclaimed feature documentary “Life, Animated” will screen on Saturday night at MountainSummit in the Wheeler Opera House.

CURRENTEVENTS

Zella Day will return to Belly Up Aspen on Tuesday, Aug. 30.

DANCE

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet will host its final local summer performance Saturday, Aug. 27.

EARLIER THIS MONTH, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet gave the North American premiere of Jiri Kylian’s “Sleepless,” an imaginative work showcasing the company’s virtuosity and creating mind-bending optical illusions with a series of sheets. The company offers an encore presentation of Kylian’s piece, along with Alejandro Cerrudo’s “Silent Ghost” and Cayetano Soto’s “Huma Rojo” on Saturday, Aug. 27 at 8 p.m. in the Aspen District Theatre. Tickets range from $25 to $94, and are available at the Wheeler Opera House box office and www.aspenshowtix.com.

POPULAR MUSIC THE INCREDIBLE ZELLA DAY gave one of the best performances of the year at Belly Up in her local debut last summer. The young singer-songwriter’s star has risen nationally since then, including an acclaimed set at this summer’s Coachella. She returns to Aspen to headline Belly Up on Tuesday, Aug. 30, and promises to be the kind of show you’ll brag about in a few years when Day is a massive global star. Tickets range from $22 to $35, and are available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen.com

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

compiled by THE ASPEN HISTORICAL SOCIETY

THE MAGNIFICENT MAROON BELLS

1958 ASPEN

“DENVERITE WANTS A NATIONAL PARK AT MAROON BELLS,” declared the Aspen Times on August 2, 1963. “Charles Baker of Denver is evidently a man who is impressed with nature’s wonders — providing he can view it from the comfort of a car traveling a macadam road. He wants a paved road over Taylor Pass through Ashcroft and on to Aspen. He’d like to see another over Schofield Pass between Crested Butte and Marble. He even suggests one that runs in the shadow of the Maroon Bells and crosses over East Maroon Pass in the Snowmass-Maroon Bells Wilderness Area. What he really wants is the creation of a Maroon Bells National Park for the region which, he explains, is ‘one of the most awesomely spectacular spots in the United States.’ Baker’s private opinions were contained in a letter to the editor which appeared in the July 14, 1963 edition of the Denver Post. The Post augmented Baker’s thesis by printing a map showing the suggested highways. ‘What a paradise this could be,’ Baker gushed, ‘and what a boon to Colorado’s tourist industry, set as it is in the very heart of the Rockies. What can we do to create it?’ Baker concluded. A number of Aspenites have offered Baker several private and unprintable suggestions.” The photograph above shows the Maroon Bells and Maroon Lake in 1958. 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: BUFF HEADWEAR A SIMPLE, HANDKERCHIEF-LIKE PRODUCT, the Buff is a surprisingly versatile tube of fabric. After more than a decade of dedicated wear, from hot days to winter’s depths, I am a convert to the headwear. Buffs come in a few types, all wearable year-round as a layer for the head and neck, configurable into a beanie, a balaclava, or an under-the-hat flap to keep sun (and bugs) off your skin. Here are eight common ways to wear a Buff, including for summer days, deep winter and climates in between.

#1 — THE BEANIE

A classic Buff style, a simple twist of the fabric converts the open tube design to a skull-cap wearable in the hot or cold. Soak it with water on a summer day for a heat sink on top of your head.

#2 — HEADBAND

Wick sweat and keep it from running in your eyes with this classic configuration. Tip: Often a full Buff is too much fabric for the headband style; I cut mine in half before employing this style.

#3 — UNDER-HELMET

A must-know move by bikers, the Buff fits easily under a helmet. The thin fabric does not interfere with fit but adds a significant layer of wind protection and warmth.

#4 — SLEEP MASK

Best used on airplanes and bright campgrounds, a simple aroundthe-head wrap (covering the eyes) blocks out all light to let you sleep.

&up

www.buffusa.com

3 #5 — WRISTBAND

Not limited to the head, a Buff can twist to fit nicely on the wrist. Wipe off a sweaty brow while on a run, and always have a hat with you out there sitting idle and unobtrusive on the arm.

#6 — NECK GAITER

A superior stand-in for a scarf, I go with the gaiter move on autumn days. Another use: I wear a Buff this way as a soft buffer from crinkly jacket collars that are uncomfortable against the skin.

4

#7 — BALACLAVA

Pull it on over the head, and tuck it under the chin. The key is to ensconce the head, a tight wrap on top of the skull and with the fabric on the other side tucked on your neck. Tip: In summer months this method, especially worn under a ball cap, is an effective sun-blocking technique.

#8 — DOUBLE BALACLAVA

Employ two Buffs for this one, a life-saving maneuver I swear by in the cold. The technique: Follow the “balaclava” steps above; then, with a second Buff, pull it on neck-gaiter style to seal off the head and neck from all chill (while keeping the face open) for optimal cold-weather comfort and warmth.

WINEINK

WINE AND WHISKEY THE ST. REGIS UPS ITS GAME

“SO PUT YOUR NOSE IN THE FIRST GLASS and take a sniff. Tell me what you smell.” Dutifully, the 20 or so people gathered around the long table in the St. Regis Aspen Resort’s Trecento Quindici Decano restaurant swirled their glasses, dipped their heads and inhaled the aromas of the Zuccardi Torrontes from the high hills KELLY J. of Argentina’s Salta HAYES wine region. “Lemon,” someone shouted. “Flowers,” came the assessment from someone at the other end of the table. Ericka Briscoe, the sommelier at the St. Regis, smiled. She had the assembled group in the palm of her hand. And she was doing what she loves best: sharing her passion for wine with people who crave both knowledge and understanding in their own wine experiences. This was another in a series of “Wine Wednesdays” at the St. Regis Resort that take place each week at 5:30 p.m., bringing smiles and wine wisdom to those in attendance. On this Wednesday, Ericka brought “props” to the tasting. Each participant received a “Wine Aroma Wheel,” a simple device designed by former CaliforniaDavis enology professor Ann Noble that categorizes the aromas and flavors in a wine. And to help further with the tutorial for the nose, she had put together a series of glasses with wine aromas ranging from citrus to pears to plums to chocolate to marshmallow to bacon. This hourlong session, which featured four wines, was fun, informative and a tasty way to beat the hump day blues. Though it took place inside the restaurant due to inclement weather, usual Wine Wednesday are hosted on the patio beneath the epic shadow of Aspen Mountain and the Lift 1 ski terrain. “Ericka has really upped the

game,” said Tobias Rimkus, director of catering, events and beverages at the St. Regis when talking about the Wine Wednesdays that have the feel of becoming an emerging tradition at the resort. He could well have been talking about the entire wine program at the St. Regis, one of the triangle of Aspen hotels that provide drinkers myriad options. The Hotel Jerome and The Little Nell are at the other ends of the triangle. Both, partially due to location and history in the case of the Jerome, and the tradition of long-standing excellence as a wine destination in the case of the Nell, occasionally seem to overshadow the offerings at the St. Regis. But the St. Regis offers wine and cocktail lovers world-class dining and drinking experiences as well. Over the past few months, since Briscoe’s arrival in April from the California wine country, where she had worked for both Bill Foley and Jackson Family Wines, there has been an enhanced focus on the wines offered at the resort’s lounges, patios and restaurants. A glass of wine in the Shadow Mountain Lounge in front of the stone fireplace with the view of Aspen Mountain is a great way to start an evening. In addition to the offerings within the St. Regis-operated bars, the hotel also plays host to the independently owned Chefs Club by Food & Wine. A sister to the New York restaurant of the same name, Chefs Club has arguably the most innovative and creative bar program in town. And the wine list, under the auspices of Master Sommelier and Chefs Club CEO Jonathan Pullis, is globally focused, compact and incredible. The St. Regis Resort also has seen a renewed emphasis on spirits and cocktails. On September 1, the Trecento Quindici Decano patio will be the scene for the second annual St. Regis Midnight Summer.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE PAPPY WINKLE’S FAMILY RESERVE There is perhaps no libation more American than bourbon from Kentucky. And of the great whiskey and bourbons from Kentucky, perhaps none is held in higher esteem today than those produced under the Pappy Van Winkle label. With a four-generation history that dates back to the turn of the past century, the Van Winkle brand has gone through twists and turns and ups and downs, but the recipes created by Pappy Van Winkle remain to this day. Pappy, whose face still adorns each bottle, was distilling until his death in 1965 at the ripe age of 89 years old. The Van Winkle bourbons are known for their smoother and sweeter flavor, as their recipes call for the use of corn, wheat and barley instead of corn, rye and barley. According to the distillers, this “wheated recipe gives the bourbon a much softer, smoother taste and it also allows the whiskey to age more gracefully.” We shall see.

place from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m., will feature a four-course meal paired with the offerings from the Buffalo Trace Distillery of Frankfort, Kentucky. Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare whiskey will be poured, but unquestionably the highlight of the event will be a special tasting of Pappy Van Winkle 23-year-aged whiskey. Now amongst whiskey connoisseurs, the entire Pappy Van Winkle lineup is prestigious. Limited in production, difficult to find and extremely pricy, the products also rate high with enthusiasts and score well in blind

tastings. But the Pappy Van Winkle 23 year, designated because the youngest whiskey in the blend must have spent at least 23 years in barrel, is, well, the holy grail. Recently, online listings show prices exceeding $2,500 a bottle. And that’s when it is available. This for a whiskey that has a suggested retail price of $249.99 a bottle. A quick nip of this national treasure is a worthy experience. With the summer fading fast, fall is a fine time to find your way to the southwest corner of Aspen’s hotel triangle.

HIGH ON CHI

A GASTRONOMIC FREE-FOR-ALL IN THE WINDY CITY

I ARRIVED IN CHICAGO last week with a serious case of FOMO. Rush-hour traffic choked every route out of O’Hare International Airport and my Uber driver, unfortunately, seemed timid in gridlock. We arrived at my chef pal’s three-story West Loop condo — a gift for the week from his client, for whom he’d been cooking at a AMANDA posh lakeside estate in RAE South Haven, Mich., over seven weeks — with just minutes to spare before a coveted 6:30 p.m. dinner reservation. One lightning-fast wardrobe change later, we were running, literally, down the street to the restaurant. That’s what you do when you’ve successfully booked a four-top at Grace, the Michelin three-starred spot opened in late-2012 by Alinea alum Curtis Duffy (and memorialized in the heart-wrenching 2014 documentary, “For Grace”). The 64-seat restaurant serves only two lavish 10 to 13 course tasting menus nightly, each of which costs $235 per person (optional wine pairings, another C-note), surpassing even Grant Achatz’s landmark as the toniest in town. We were not about to let this once-in-a-lifetime experience slip away due to tight timing. So we ran. And we arrived, breathless, into the foyer, where our host couple was waiting, at 6:47 p.m. Though we were told that Grace adheres to a strict, 15-minute, uh, grace period, our hostess smiled sweetly and whisked us into the dining room. I collapsed into a tufted armchair and surveyed the serene, glowing space, allplush fabrics in tones of sable and cream. At the far end of the room, la pièce de résistance: the brightly lit, immaculate kitchen enclosed in glass — Duffy’s modernist laboratory. Inside, no fewer than twelve cooks and servers swanned behind the chef, who

was facing outward, bent over his workstation, deep in a groove. We had arrived. The procession of plates during the 12-course tasting was nothing short of Shakespearean. My companions selected the carnivorous “fauna” menu; I chose “flora,” featuring vegetable creations, for variety. There may have been a dozen components displayed at once — sea cress, plum, hazelnut powder, clover, toasted pumpernickel crumbs — but the tiny tableaux lacked pretension. Some were whimsical, such as a transparent disc of sugar set inside the lip of a glass to lend the impression that Alaskan king crab was “floating” in clear liquid. Others were interactive, like the foil lid we peeled away from a tiny jar to reveal a swirl of trapped smoke shrouding delicate morsels of rabbit and chanterelle mushrooms. Grace — one of only 109 restaurants in the world awarded three Michelin stars in 2016 — gave us a meal we will likely remember 10 years from now. At the same time, we knew there were plenty of high-low surprises still to come. The next day, during a light brunch of Bloody Mary cocktails, oysters, and tuna poke at GT Fish & Oyster, Italian-born chefowner Giuseppe Tentori swung by our table to say hello. Tentori, formerly sous-chef at Charlie Trotter’s, knew my cohort through the respected Boka Restaurant Group, which has developed some of the top restaurants in the city. Would we like a tour of GT Prime, his soon-to-open, high-end steakhouse concept just a couple blocks away? Yes please! We followed Tentori two blocks down Wells Street in the River North district — “I got 99 problems but a fish ain’t one,” emblazoned on the back of his GT Fish T-shirt — to arrive at a 5,600-square-foot construction zone. The restaurant was nearly finished, the energy palpable.

Plastic covered glossy black tables inlaid with bronze silhouettes of game animals and cushy dining chairs edged with faux rabbit fur. Stepping over stray building materials, we climbed the unfinished floating staircase to a private dining room for a bird’s eye view of the open kitchen with sparkling, state-of-the-art commercial appliances. Downstairs, we ran into Rob Katz, Boka Group co-owner, chatting with a stunning brunette. Anything else we should check out in the area? Katz didn’t skip a beat. “Sumi Robata Bar, right across the street,” he said. “Some of the most exciting food there right now.” The brunette flashed a grin. Jessica Kato, wife of Sumi chef Gene Kato, it turns out, would be delighted to escort us. Inside, the slim space resembled a blond bamboo Bento box. We slid onto cube stools at the chef ’s bar, lined with a wavelike, live-edge wood slab, and chatted with chef Kato. Soon enough he sent out our first plate. Though “robatayaki” is Japanese for “fireside cooking,” which, at Sumi Robata Bar, translates to grilled meats and seafood, we’d asked for more esoteric specialties. After

one bite of house-made tofu — luscious like pudding and topped with briny salmon roe, enokitake mushrooms, and a tangle of crispy ginger (pictured, above) — I wondered aloud how I’d never encountered this before. Ditto for the soba-flour toast points on which we smeared Kato’s chicken liver mousse, made with freerange Japanese fowl delivered just 12 hours post-slaughter (no ironlike, mineral aftertaste here) and tempura halibut cheek that flaked apart into togarashi broth. “Anything fried we serve with daikon because it has a digestive enzyme,” Kato explained, urging us to pair each bite with a dab of oroshi (a ball of grated daikon, chile and scallion). Lesson learned: When food touring, keep an open mind — and itinerary. Though we avoided traditional tourist traps, we did embark on epic culinary sightseeing: Eataly. The two-story, 63,000-square-foot Italian emporium is part gustatory amusement park, part epicurean museum. Each major food group — pasta, bread, cheese, salumi, fish, meat, olive oil, wine, and on and on — has its own sprawling section with display cases, tasting counters and miniature restaurants.

Wineglasses in hand, we stocked up on charcuterie and pantry goods. While scoping pizza, we ran into an Aspen friend on a business lunch. Small-world moments would continue. At Momotaro — where I sampled incomparable nigiri: Japanese billfish, skin blistered gently with a blowtorch — we saw Katz, celebrating his son’s first day of school over sushi. We gushed about our serendipitous Sumi experience and shared our night’s itinerary: Top Chef winner Stephanie Izard’s third restaurant, Duck Duck Goat. After 14 (or 15, we lost count) small plates of modern Chinese food — “reasonably authentic” according to Izard — split four ways, thankfully, family-style, we stumbled out of the sultry, busting den and onto the street. Duck eggrolls, beef short rib and bone marrow potstickers, garlicky beans, sweet fried rice…it’s all a blur. On our final night, we capped our West Loop dinner theater experience at a pair of Grant Achatz/Alinea Group ventures: Offbeat cocktails at The Aviary, home to 30 kinds of handchiseled ice (really) and where the single-bite “Black Truffle Explosion” (an Alinea signature) inspired my buddy to admit, “There are times I may have teared up — allergies, I swear!” At Roister, Achatz’s rowdy, strippeddown spot, we had reserved seats for a tasting menu in the subterranean prep kitchen (pro tip: order a round of Fernet shots for the kitchen crew and reap untold rewards). Dish after dish was a revelation: we dug into a pile of warm potato chips to find tender smoked salmon over curried spinach; chamomile-marinated fried chicken was shatteringly crisp; dessert riffed on a Take 5 candy bar… with silky foie gras replacing nougat, natch. Back-to-back nights of multicourse tastings left room for little else. However, we did squeeze in an obligatory Chicago dog at a weathered, circa-1949 Irish pub downtown and made two trips to Izard’s playful Little Goat Diner (for an encore of the “Breakfast Tasty Thing” (a stack of scallion pancakes layered with kimchi, bacon, and eggs). As anticipated, we left Chicago beyond full and inspired more than we could have ever imagined. Any fear of missing out, though, is but a distant memory. Amanda Rae is plotting a Chicago encore.

Brook LeVan offers the pre-dinner food prayer.

MADE IN THE ROARING FORK VALLEY CULINARY EXPERIENCES FROM THE GROUND UP

“FLAVOR IS AN EVENT.” That was the statement that started the meal. It was a fact so true that it seemed obvious upon its delivery, yet it was never something I had considered before. “We brought you here tonight for flavor,” he continued. “If you leave without an epiphany, then we have failed.” The talk continued, BARBARA taking us on a PLATTS journey from soil and seeding to flowering plants and tending to farm animals. It was practically a prayer; something that we said in celebration before a well-prepared, entirely locally sourced meal. The food prayer went on for about 15 minutes. By the end, when it was time to serve the first course, I was drinking every ounce of Kool-Aid the orator was selling. And the unlikely thing about that was he wasn’t selling anything. He was just telling it like it was. “We have lost our way,” he said towards the end of the 15 minutes. “Fleeting fashions and short-term gains have tempted us. We have cut corners to reap unsustainable harvests. We’ve depleted the rich top soils you have given us. And we have lost sight of all of the life

and its relationship to us. Please don’t give up on us. More people are coming to the conclusion that we need you and all of nature to live well.” The man delivering the poetic pre-dinner prose was Brook LeVan, co-founder and executive director of Sustainable Settings, a Carbondale nonprofit with a working ranch and Whole Systems Learning Center. Sustainable Settings hosted the event, but the main chef at work behind the meal was Mark Hardin, owner of Field 2 Fork Kitchen. I first heard about Mark and his locally sourced catering business

Aug u st 25 - Aug u st 3 1 , 20 16

when I was looking for a culinary professional to help smoke a pig for my birthday in June. I wanted to learn more about the art of smoking meats, but I also wanted to do it at a local level. A friend recommended a pig from Merrill’s Family Farm in Carbondale and said that Mark was the guy to smoke it. Despite the small size of my birthday party (Field 2 Fork Kitchen typically does much larger events that require a whole staff ) Mark was excited to help. The pig turned out to be so big that we had to save half of it. Since none of us had any idea how to slice and dice the swine, Mark gave us a lesson,

showing us the different parts of the pig and how to trim them. Weeks after the party, people were still telling me how much they enjoyed his butchering lesson. It was probably the most memorable part of the day. Mark said lessons like that, as well as the event at Sustainable Settings, are big parts of his business. “Our mission is to let people know what is out there,” he said. “Everyone hears about these farmers, farms and places, but we want to give them the chance to see it first hand.” Mark started Field 2 Fork Kitchen in February. He’s been a chef in the valley for more than a decade, but he branched out to start his own business this year. When I asked him why locally sourced food was such an integral part of his mission, he referred back to his childhood in Ohio, where his family had a full garden that spanned over a couple acres and provided them with enough food to feed the whole family. He learned to upkeep the garden in the summer months and preserve the garden’s products when winter came. “I didn’t know it at the time, but probably my parents got me into the local food movement,” Mark said. “I don’t even think I realized

that connection until much later, after I moved away from home.” Sourcing food locally for one’s business is not necessarily a lucrative practice. It takes time, effort and a lot of consideration. One has to use what’s in season and work within those confines. Mark is aware that his farm-to-table techniques aren’t going to reward him the big bucks. But, regardless, it’s how he wants to run his business; by spreading awareness about the foods we put in our bodies. One of the ways Mark and his Field 2 Fork crew do this is by partnering with local farms such as Sustainable Settings and creating opportunities for people to connect with food. And, as Brook spoke before our meal, it became evident this mission extends past Sustainable Settings and Field 2 Fork, it’s a thriving culture in our whole community. That evening at Sustainable Settings, our dinner consisted of four courses. The appetizer was pate with pickles, preserves and grilled bread. Next was a dish of fresh greens with shaved garden veggies, herbs and edible flowers that were almost to beautiful to eat. The main course was lamb that had spent the whole day baking in clay underground, plus carrot top and pursalane chimichurri polenta, cassoulet beans and braised Colorado greens. The dessert was a profiterole with dark chocolate ganache and Paonia cherries. Each bite, every taste, was truly an event.

Mark had a group of people and companies helping with the meal like Marble Distillery, Roaring Fork Brewery and even other chefs in the valley who have similar businesses. Flip Wise, the owner of the new company Open Fire Catering was one of them. From what I gathered talking with Flip, competition is nearly non-existent in the locally sourced food community. They are all working for the same thing. “We are just so lucky to have so many ranchers and farmers around here,” Flip said of the farm-to-fork community in the valley. “Developing relationships, being a part of the community and providing delicious food, I think that’s what it’s all about. That’s what we have to get back in touch with.” The evening at Sustainable Settings with Field 2 Fork Kitchen is one that will go down in the books. Not just because of the bombastic flavors and good company, but because it showed me the genuine passion and hard work going into our local food movement. “The longer I’m out here the more conscience I am of what we have to offer and what it means to be part of the community,” Mark said. “Supporting everyone is a big part of it.” Barbara Platts hopes to dive in more to the local food culture in the Roaring Fork Valley and bring you a few more stories about it.

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

S’MORE SIPS In honor of the National Park Service’s 100th anniversary,

MAKE IT

we thought it the right time to share our favorite drinks for imbibing in the wild because, let’s be honest, while

* S’mores Martini: Dip the rim of a martini glass in a shallow dish of chocolate syrup, then in a dish of graham cracker crumbs. Combine 1 oz. (each) marshmallow vodka, chocolate liqueur and cream in a martini shaker with ice. Pour into glass and garnish with toasted marshmallow. * Marshmallow Sippers: Toast marshmallows. Cool completely. Scoop out center with a melon baller, scooping only halfway down. Fill with Irish Cream Liqueur or Coffee Liqueur. * Marshmallow Dippers: Dip toasted marshmallows in a cup of Irish Cream Liqueur or Coffee Liqueur. * S’mores Hot Cocoa: Prepare hot chocolate. Add 1 oz. marshmallow vodka and 1 oz. hazelnut liqueur. Top with toasted marshmallows.

some food items are just too heavy to justify carrying in your pack, booze is never on that list. A few to try: Backcountry Mai Tai (Tang, snow, dark rum); Bailey’s and anything (coffee, hot chocolate, straight-up, to name a few); and for you wine-lovers, buy a box of your favorite juice, ditch the cardboard and just bring the bag (insider tip: when you drain the last drop, blow up the bag and use as a pillow). And if you’re car camping, the sky’s the limit. Seriously, many campgrounds include electricity, so throw the blender in the backseat and mix up just about any libation you like. Of course there is always that one camping cocktail that rises above. On a recent trip of mine it was the Marshmallow Sipper; a little online research turned up a few other other marshmallow-inspired adult camping treats worth giving a try. LIBATIONS WAS CREATED BY BELOVED ASPEN TIMES PUBLISHER GUNILLA ASHER, WHO DIED JUNE 2, 2014, AFTER A BRAVE BATTLE WITH CANCER. CHEERS — TO GUNNER!

GREAT OUTDOORS 100 at

Celebrating the National Park Service’s Centennial anniversary, and other wonders in our own backyard

IT WAS ONE-HUNDRED YEARS AGO that the U.S. Congress created the National Park Service. In the following decades, this federal agency has taken under its wings more than 400 public lands. Its tenure has not been without controversy and the future of these parks and monuments, trails and landmarks might seem murky. But on this important anniversary, we thought it appropriate to reflect on what the National Park Service — and wild lands, in general — mean to us, as Americans and as Aspenites. BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: A PROCLAMATION — In 1872, the Congress established Yellowstone National Park — the first park of its kind anywhere in the world. Decades later, the passage of the Antiquities Act in 1906 created our first national historic preservation policy. Under this new authority, and heavily inspired by his time in nature with conservationist John Muir, President Theodore Roosevelt set aside 18 new monuments and landmarks, adding to the scattered collection of existing parks throughout our country. One decade later, in order to provide the leadership necessary for maintaining our growing system of parks, the Congress passed monumental legislation — which President Woodrow Wilson signed on August 25, 1916 — to create the National Park Service (NPS). All existing National Parks were placed under the management of the NPS, ushering in a new era of conservation, exploration, and discovery — and securing, throughout the century that would follow, the profound legacy of an interconnected

system of natural wonders. Over the course of the past 100 years, our national park system has grown to include more than 400 locations across our country. Ranging from seashores to waterfalls, winding trails to rugged mountains, historic battlefields to monuments and memorials, every treasured site under the NPS is uniquely American. Our parks play a critical role in environmental stewardship, ensuring that precious wildlife can thrive and that ecosystems can provide the many benefits on which we depend. They have sustained the stories and cultures that define the American experience, and they embody the people and movements that distinguish our Nation’s journey. As we reflect on the many natural and cultural gifts that our National Parks provide, we must also look to the next century and pledge to secure our precious resources. That is why my Administration has protected over 265 million acres of public lands and waters — more than any Administration in history — and worked to save endangered and vulnerable species and their vital habitats. Climate change poses the biggest threat to our planet and our parks and is already dangerously affecting park ecosystems and visitor experiences. It is imperative that we rise to meet this challenge and continue leading the global fight against climate change to ensure that our parks remain healthy for all who will come after us. Often called “America’s best idea,” our National Parks belong to Americans of all ages and backgrounds. NPS sites and their recreational, educational, and public health benefits are our American birthright. Last year, these sites welcomed more than 300 million visitors, and my Administration is committed to helping all our people access and enjoy these public lands and waters. Through our “Every Kid in a Park” initiative, we have made our National Parks free to fourth grade students and their families so that more children, from any community or walk of life, can spend time being active

in our outdoor spaces while learning about these natural treasures — something that First Lady Michelle Obama has also advocated for through her Let’s Move! initiative. And through the Joining Forces initiative that she and Dr. Jill Biden have championed, more of our troops and military families can enjoy our National Parks. We must expand on these programs and increase opportunities for people in underserved communities to experience the great outdoors as well. The second century of the NPS will rely on the support and engagement of young people who are visiting more parks through the “Find Your Park” campaign, and we must encourage this rising generation of Americans by inviting them to make their own personal connections to the places that have shaped our history. NPS parks and programs strive to tell our diverse stories, allowing us to learn from the past and help write our country’s next great chapters. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, let us thank all those who — through their dedication to the mission of the NPS — help our country build on the legacy left by all those who came before us. As we look to the next century and embrace the notion that preserving these public spaces in ways that engage, reflect, and honor all Americans has never been more important, let us summon the foresight and faith in the future to do what it takes to protect our National Parks for generations to come. NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim August 25, 2016, as the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service. I invite all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that recognize the National Park Service for maintaining and protecting our public lands for the continued benefit and enjoyment of all Americans.

IN ASPEN’S BACKYARD The White River National Forest sprawls across 2.3 million acres in western Colorado — from the Continental Divide east of Aspen to cattle country around Rifle, and from the secluded backcountry of the Flat Tops to the busy slopes of Vail. It’s the most visited national forest in the country, according to the U.S. Forest Service. There are more than 13 million visitors annually at last count. That’s about the same as the number of combined visitors in 2015 to Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Yellowstone national parks. The White River has scenery as stunning as any national park. Hundreds of thousands of visitors travel to see the majestic Maroon Bells southwest of Aspen. They’re willing to march like ants to visit the amazing Hanging Lake in Glenwood Canyon. They flock to the forest to bag the 10 peaks higher in elevation than 14,000 feet. “Like a National Park, we have so many destination places,” said White River National Forest Supervisor Scott Fitzwilliams. There are definitely some visitors who cannot tell the difference between a National Park and parts of the White River National Forest, said Will Roush, conservation director for Wilderness Workshop, one of the oldest locally grown conservation groups in the Roaring Fork Valley. The Maroon Bells Scenic Area is the “most national park-esque part of the national forest, Roush said. Buses drop off and pick up tens of thousands of passengers there. Forest rangers and volunteers are on hand to answer questions and educate visitors about outdoor issues. Aspen Center for Environmental Studies helps with interpretative walks. Parts of the 181,535-acre Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness share the overcrowding that plagues parts of the national parks, Roush noted. The wilderness area was created in 1964 and later expanded. The forest supervisor’s office is working on an adaptive management plan that could result in limiting visitors in high intensity use areas of the wilderness such as Conundrum Valley and the Four Pass Loop, a 27-mile hike that links popular trails. It’s appropriate to “get a grip” on the numbers in the

hotspots, Roush said. “What they’re doing makes sense,” he said. “They’re trying to deal with a national park problem with a wilderness solution.” If seclusion is a priority, it’s probably fortunate that the Maroon Bells were designated a wilderness area rather than a national park. “Most national parks are heavily trafficated so they need more management,” he said. There are more guided uses, more emphasis on interpretative displays and usually lots of asphalt for roads and parking areas. Parks tend to designate backcountry campsites. Hunting and fishing are often prohibited. Wilderness prohibits motorized and mechanized uses and is “untrammeled” by man. A backpacker can camp anywhere without a specific restriction, like within 100 feet of streams and lakes. “Freedom is really prevalent in wilderness,” Roush said. Another big difference between national parks and a national forest is dedicated funding. Pull into Arches outside of Moab or Yellowstone and you will soon encounter a welcome station where a fee is collected. While a fee is collected to visit Maroon Lake, that’s rare in the national forest. The Forest Service has experienced a shrinking budget for years as firefighting

efforts eat up a growing part of its annual funding. So, the Forest Service must learn how to shift its limited dollars to better manage the areas that experience the highest use, Fitzwilliams said. “We’re still learning that.” The national forests might not have the limelight of the national parks, but visits are expected to keep climbing. Even if you throw out the roughly 7 million visits to the White River that come from customers at the 11 ski areas that use national forest land, the White River still logs more than 6 million visits per year, Fitzwilliams said. Summer use from mountain bikers, hikers and backpackers is soaring. Ski resorts are focused on expanding activities to score more summer tourist dollars. “It’s unlikely that we’re going to see these numbers drop off soon,” Fitzwilliams said. - Scott Condon

NOTEWORTHY: IN AN ERA

OF CHANGE, A NEW CHAPTER FOR THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, TWO RECENTLY RELEASED BOOKS OFFER AN INVITATION TO THE PARKS — AND AN ARGUMENT FOR THEIR EXISTENCE. “A THINKING PERSON’S GUIDE TO AMERICA’S NATIONAL PARKS” is an almost painfully earnest reassessment of the national park system at the century mark. Its 23 chapters dissect the parks — why, and for whom, they exist. The book reflects the evolution of the agency’s approach to conservation, recreation, inclusiveness, sustainability and other facets. Between Ulysses S. Grant’s creation of Yellowstone National Park on March 1, 1872, and Barack Obama’s designation, in February, of three new national monuments comprising 1.8 million acres of California desert, the National Park Service has expanded its horizons generally from the West to the East, from scenic to historic, from wilderness toward urban areas. “The national parks are the American experience expressed in place,” writes former Director Denis

DIFFERENT LANDS, DIFFERENT MANAGEMENTS The National Park Service was created in 1916 with a mandate to “conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and wildlife therein, and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” It serves under the umbrella of the Department of the Interior. The Forest Service administers 154 national forests and 20 grasslands that total 193 million areas, or about 25 percent of all federal lands. It operates under the umbrella of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and has a responsibility to manage the land for “many uses” — from grazing, logging and mineral extraction to recreation. In addition to 13 National Parks and National Monuments in Colorado, the NPS oversees and/or manages the following: - Three National Heritage Areas - One Wild & Scenic Rivers - Four National Trails - 1,477 National Register of Historic Places Listings - 25 National Historic Landmarks - 14 National Natural Landmarks - One World Heritage Site

Galvan in the foreword, and as our understanding of the contours of that experience expands, the agency’s mission grows with it. “Today we contemplate the effects of a changing climate against the benchmarks of these protected places,” Galvan writes. “The story and contributions of enslaved people, once invisible, are now told.” The book’s academic and in-agency contributors strike a measured balance between celebration and constructive criticism. The critiques mostly revolve around the agency’s slowness to come to terms with America’s history of oppression and diversity. These brief essays show an agency eager to attract young people and what we’ll soon enough need to stop calling minorities — the demographic core of whatever future support the parks may enjoy. Population is increasing faster than park attendance, even as the system grows to meet its audience. The challenge is significant, and no book, however gorgeously illustrated (this one has 300 glossy color photos), is likely to be the magnet that draws new visitors into the parks. But for anyone already invested, “A Thinking Person’s Guide to America’s National Parks” makes an excellent armchair roadmap to the Park Service’s more than 400 sites and its many priorities and pursuits, which range from community farming partnerships within the Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve on Whidbey Island, Washington, to the Kaibab Paiute Tribe’s leadership in preserving dark skies at Arizona’s Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. You might think of the book as an illustrated catalog of the nation’s grandest common holdings, and an eloquent (if indirect) defense of the principles and benefits of public land managed for public use. “THE WONDER OF IT ALL,” compiled by the nonprofit Yosemite Conservancy, takes a different approach, collecting 100 short anecdotes and testimonials to the parks’ transformative powers. They’re stories of first jobs, true love, encounters with bears and wolves and stars, and the sudden flare of a light in a child’s eyes. “The Wonder of It All” demonstrates both the charms and flaws of anthologized amateur writing, but its stories exude a heartfelt passion that complements and sweetens

the administrative efficiency of “A Thinking Person’s Guide.” Bob McConnell’s recollection of a night enjoying opera with veteran seasonal Yosemite ranger Carl Sharsmith, who died in 1994, offers an intimate portrait of one of the many indispensable volunteers who make the parks tick, while Rebecca Bailey learns that the less-than-flattering “green and gray” uniform is no deterrent to unsolicited male attention in “How to Talk to a ‘Girl Ranger.’” (“Respectfully” will do just fine, thank you.) Anybody who’s ever worn that iconic flat hat, or daydreamed of doing so, will likely enjoy these stories. Both of these new books serve as invitations to the national parks — a reminder that it’s not enough to support the idea of the parks; we need to visit them in person and get to know them. As timeless and unassailable as they may seem, the parks are the tip of America’s public-lands iceberg, and if recent history shows anything, it’s that they require our constant protection. Plenty of folks are fighting hard to find new ways to exploit our natural and scenic resources. For now, “We the People” have the stronger claim. We’d be remiss, and we’d be lessened, if we failed to exercise it.

DESTINATION | NEW ZEALAND

by GIOVANNA DELL’ORTO for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WILDLIFE AND WILDERNESS GALORE IN NEW ZEALAND’S SOUTH ISLAND AS A CHILLY DUSK FELL on this tiny bay famous for wildlife and Jurassic-era fossilized trees, a white-coated figure waddled gingerly across tide-slicked rocks — me, trying to get out of sight to prevent scaring off yellow-eyed penguins I hoped would come ashore. A 2-foot-tall penguin popped out of the ocean, gave me a puzzled stare from its lemon-hued eye and marched to its nest in the cliffs. Nearly four times closer to the South Pole than to New York or London, first settled by Maori around 950 and by Europeans 900 years later, the southernmost part of New Zealand’s South Island is so pristine

IF YOU GO... NEW ZEALAND’S SOUTHERN SCENIC ROUTE: www.southernscenicroute.co.nz/ GETTING THERE: Fly into Queenstown or Dunedin airports, then rent a car (left-side driving). LODGING: For immersion in local culture, a hopping hostel in Queenstown, www.adventureq2.co.nz/; a B&B run by a retired ranger in Te Anau, www.avonhouse. co.nz ; a sheep farm in the Catlins, www.slopepoint.co.nz/. TIPS: Keep your distance from wildlife. Reserve fjord cruises (www.realjourneys. co.nz/), horseback riding (www.dartstables. com/) and, in summer, overnight hiking permits for “Great Walks” like Routeburn (www.greatwalks.co.nz/).

it’s a toss-up who feels most surprised in meeting, you or the wildlife. During an eight-day drive along the 380-mile two-lane Southern Scenic Route, I watched some of the world’s rarest penguins commute home, rode horses across rivers where “The Lord of the Rings” was filmed and sailed in fjords and hiked mountain trails among tree-sized ferns and moss-draped beech trees that looked like giant bonsais. I started in late June (winter in the Southern Hemisphere) in Queenstown, a buzzing ski-and-outdoors town on a turquoise lake, and ended in the stately Edwardian city of Dunedin, with a detour to its Otago Peninsula and up to Moeraki. In between, endless vistas opened up of swirling ocean and massive mountains in all hues of South Island’s precious pounamu, the greenstone that’s crucial to local Maori culture. From Queenstown to tiny Te Anau, the gateway to Fiordland National Park, snow-capped ranges, corrugated by the ongoing collision of the world’s two largest tectonic plates, cascade to the horizon. In their expansive shade, I trotted by horse along a fast, steely river near Glenorchy and hiked a few miles of the Alpine Routeburn track, starting through a rainforest filter of draping moss and ending by a tarn at Key Summit with peaks 360 degrees around. Imagine mixing Hawaii with the Alps, then magnify it by a million: 3,000-foot ridges tumble into the still, dark waters of Milford and Doubtful sound, where it rains about 22 feet a year and waterfalls sprout everywhere.

chewing kea, the world’s only alpine parrot, lives here, as do dolphins and seals in large colonies where the fjords end in the Tasman Sea. Tourists flock to Milford with its picture-perfect Mitre Peak, but Doubtful Sound is three times as long, and its remoteness is far more mesmerizing. Along the southern and eastern coasts, the mountains fade into ubiquitous sheep pastures. Deserted beaches stretch out, from the pebble-covered Gemstone Beach near Riverton to the sandy half-moon of Tautuku Bay in the Catlins region, where dirt roads meander past farms shielded by thick tree stands doubled over by the winds. It was here that I saw my first hoiho, as yellow-eyed penguins are called in Maori, one of only 2,000 estimated to exist. Farther up the coast at Katiki Point, I happened upon their evening rush hour and watched half a dozen paddle out of the ocean after a day of fishing, preen, then hurry up the cliffs as their mates called out. On Otago Peninsula, royal albatrosses soared on their 10-foot wingspans at Taiaroa Head, while at Sandfly Bay, sea lions plopped belly-down and wiggled their 700-pound-plus bulk in the sand like sunbathers. Just opposite the peninsula, in 19th-century Carey’s Bay Historic Hotel, I had the best dish on the trip, fresh green-lipped mussels, Otago clams and scallops in white wine and cream. Runners-up: homemade gnocchi with wild venison at Etrusco and blue cod at Plato, both in Dunedin; “swine” burgers at Queenstown’s

Fergburger; lamb roast at Te Anau’s The Ranch; fish and chips at Hampden’s Lockies. Of Otago’s wines, my favorite was the intense Felton Road Chardonnay Bannockburn. One late afternoon toward the end of the trip, I accompanied a surfer friend to Aramoana beach, 15 minutes from Carey’s Bay. After I had strolled to where the white beach ended in a rocky cove, he called out from the waves, asking about my wildlife sightings of the day: Had I seen any penguins? Sea lions? Seals? As I bellowed back successive “Nos,” a mustachioed head rose from the wet boulders next to me. There was no mistaking the message in the fur seal’s groggy eyes. Mumbling an apology, I walked softly away, while the seal settled back into its post-deepwater-fishing nap.

JUMPING OFF THE SCREEN

THIS YEAR, THERE’S MORE THAN FILM AT MOUNTAINSUMMIT MOUNTAINSUMMIT WANTS TO GET YOU OUT OF YOUR seat and out of the theater. The eighth annual documentary film festival, produced by the Wheeler Opera House and running through Sunday Aug. 28, is inviting audiences to do more than watch this year with a slate of daily activities around town to complement its 30-film lineup. Most of the off-screen events are free, including daily filmmaker discussions at the Red Onion. “We’re making the connection between the activities, these interactions and these experiences with the filmmakers and guests who are in town,” says Wheeler executive director Gena Buhler. So if you go see “Almost Sunrise” on Friday night, you’ll see a story about two Iraq war veterans who struggle with PTSD and embark on a hike from Milwaukee to Los Angeles in search of peace. On Saturday morning, you can join one of those veterans — Tom Voss — for a morning meditation at the Wheeler. Or if you check out “The Happy Film” on Saturday, you’ll see an irreverent, poignant exploration of what “happiness” means and how we achieve it. Then on Sunday morning, you can join filmmaker Ben Nabors for a talk about happiness (and try a “happiness activity”) at the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies. And if you’re inspired by the short “Mile 19,” about postal worker Johnnie Jameson, who has run every Los Angeles Marathon since its inception in 1986, you can go for a run with him Sunday morning. Last year, MountainSummit took over Wagner Park and staged activities there linked to the lineup of adventure films. This year, the movies

have taken on a broader definition of adventure and focused on the festival theme of “Winning Spirit.” Along with adrenaline-pumping movies about skiing, BASE-jumping, climbing, mountaineering and the like, it includes features such as “Life, Animated,” about an autistic boy who learns to communicate through animated Disney movies. It’s not your standard cliff-hucking, wall-climbing outdoors-y movie fare. “We’re focusing on that theme of the winning spirit and what that really means,” Buhler says. “So, were doing lots of different activities for the community that tie closely to the messages in different films.” For Sunday’s family-friendly movie program — which starts at noon — the Aspen Animal Shelter will be on-hand with its adoptable animals (inspired by the short film “Pickle”) and yo-yo master Coffin Nachtmayr will lead a yo-yo workshop (he’s the subject of the film “Throw”). The folk band SHEL will play a full concert in the Wheeler after Saturday night’s film programs. The Fort Collins-based band on the rise also will perform at all seven film programs throughout the festival.

The festival also is hosting virtual reality experiences, produced by RYOT, through the weekend in the Community Room at the Pitkin County library. Festival-goers can choose from a menu of immersive, 360-degree videos to experience. For example, in a film about a rhinoceros relocation program in the Sahara, you follow a rhino from its point of view as it is released into the wild. Buhler is excited to share this new frontier of storytelling with Aspen. “We could put a bunch of adventure porn on the screen and people might like it,” she says. “But there’s no story takeaways. There’s no experience of a journey. So the virtual reality technology certainly does that.” atravers@aspentimes.com

Since 2009, the District has also enlarged Ziegler Reservoir and incorporated the same as an integral raw water storage feature of the District’s integrated system. Claim for Claim to make absolute and claim for finding of reasonable diligence on remaining portion of the water right: On 12/27/2015 the District diverted 4.6 c.f.s. in priority from the East Snowmass Brush Creek Pipeline for snowmaking purposes, including 3.1 c.f.s. pursuant to the absolute portion of the subject water right and an additional 1.5 c.f.s. from the remaining conditional portion of this water right. The District therefore requests that another 1.5 c.f.s. be decreed absolute for snowmaking purposes, and that the remaining 0.5 c.f.s. decreed to this structure be continued conditional for an additional diligence period, or in the alternative that all amounts and uses not made absolute be continued in full force and effect for an additional six-year diligence period. A detailed outline of activities and expenditures during the diligence period is included in the application filed in this matter. (6 pages).

APPLICATION FOR ABSOLUTE UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHT FOR AN EXEMPT WELL UNDER C.R.S. § 97-92-602(4) (2015). Name of well: Michie Well. The Michie Well is an exempt well. C.R.S. § 37-92-602(1)(b) (2015). Well Permit No. 57683. The well permit for the Michie Well was originally issued to Eugene Miller on April 18, 1972. The well was constructed and a pump test performed on August 8, 1972. In 2012 and 2013, the well permit information was inadvertently changed by neighboring landowners (Caparellas in 2012 and High Valley Farms, LLC in 2013 and 2014). The most recent change by High Valley Farms, LLC mistakenly associated Well Permit No. 57683 with the HVF Well and canceled the permit in favor of Well Permit No. 78746-F. Applicant notified High Valley Farms, LLC and the Division Engineer of this error and has requested that Well Permit No. 57683 be reinstated for the Michie Well. Legal description: SW ¼ SE ¼ of Section 17, Township 8 South, Range 86 West of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 951 feet from the south section line and 2,558 feet from the east section line in Pitkin County, Colorado. (UTM X = 326002.14, UTM Y = 4357856.05). Date of appropriation: March 20, 1972 (date well permit application received by State). How appropriation was initiated: By Applicant’s predecessor filing an application with the State Engineer’s Office and obtaining a permit to construct an exempt well. Date water applied to beneficial use: August 8, 1972. Priority Date: April 18, 1972. Shirola v. Turkey Cañon Ranch LLC, 937 P.2d 739, 751 (Colo. 1997) (“[U]pon adjudication, [section] 602 wells will receive as a priority date the date of their well permit, without reference to the date of the application for the adjudication. See § 37-92-602(4)”). Source of water: Groundwater tributary to the Roaring Fork River, tributary to the Colorado River. Amount: 15 gpm, absolute. Annual amount: 3 acre-feet. Depth of well: Approximately 46 feet. Uses: Domestic. Number of single-family dwellings served: 1. Area of lawns and gardens irrigated: 0.25 acres. Domestic animal watering: No. Livestock watering on farm/ranch/pasture: No. Applicant owns the land upon which the well is located and water is beneficially used. Remarks: Under Shirola v. Turkey Cañon Ranch LLC, 937 P.2d 739 (Colo. 1997), Applicant files this case to confirm its vested water right by virtue of appropriation for purposes of establishing an enforceable priority and asserting injury to its water right in court or other forums; however, Applicant retains its water well exempt status in all other respects. Wherefore, Applicant respectfully requests the Court to enter a decree confirming an absolute ground water right for the Michie Well for the above-described amounts and uses, with a priority date of April 18, 1972, for purposes of enforcement of a priority right and asserting injury to such right under Shirola v. Turkey Cañon Ranch LLC, 937 P.2d 739 (Colo. 1997), but otherwise retaining the Michie Well exempt status.

BOOK REVIEW

NOTEWORTHY

‘SORROW ROAD’ MEMORIES ARE SELDOM INFALLIBLE. Two people can remember the same event, yet their recollections vastly differ. The addition of repressed memories and Alzheimer’s disease add a new dimension to what one recalls from the past. Memories — or, in some cases, a lack of them — provide a sturdy foundation for Julia Keller’s fifth intriguing novel featuring West Virginia prosecutor Bell Elkins. “Sorrow Road” delves into the vagaries of memory, the tragedy of Alzheimer’s and how past events affect the present. As ever, Keller’s series poignantly examines the role of families and life in the economically depressed town of Acker’s Gap, West Virginia. Bell gave up a “glittering career” to return to Acker’s Gap because she believes she can help her hometown, where poverty and a lack of jobs are the norm. A meeting with former classmate

‘Sorrow Road’ Julia Keller Minotaur, 2016 384 pages, hardcover

Darlene Strayer, now a famous federal prosecutor, reminds Bell of the life she gave up. Darlene wants Bell to look into the death of her father, Harmon, who lately had been upset about something he wouldn’t discuss with her. True, Harmon was elderly and suffering from Alzheimer’s, so his death shouldn’t have been a surprise. But Harmon is one of several residents who recently died unexpectedly at Thornapple Terrace, an Alzheimer’s care home. As Bell looks into Thornapple, her daughter, Carla, returns home to cope with her emotional issues. Several years ago, Carla witnessed the murder of a friend, and while she thought she had dealt with it, she’s now having flashbacks to that day. What happened to Harmon may be linked to a childhood incident that occurred before World War II and set a pattern for his life and that of two of

his friends. “Sorrow Road” poignantly alternates between today and the lives of those three friends before WWII, through the war and their lives as adults. Memory infuses the actions of every character in “Sorrow Road,” from Bell’s sudden terror at reliving a childhood incident to an adult demanding her Alzheimer’s addled father acknowledge his abuse of her and her brother. “Memory’s a tricky thing,” says one caregiver, noting how “the older memories stick. It’s the newer ones that don’t get stored.” “Sorrow Road” continues the high standards that Keller has established with her series. “Sorrow Road,” like her other novels, is a story about a community comprised of very personal stories, each as unique as each individual.
