THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

THEATER TALES OF TORTURE, murder and mythological Greek mayhem are fodder for farce in Todd Hartley’s new play, “The Generations of Tantalus,” which debuted last weekend and runs Aug. 28 and 29 at 5:30 p.m. The Hudson Reed Ensemble is staging the comedy at the old Aspen Art Museum grounds, in a new spin on the company’s traditional late August Shakespeare in the Park productions. A comedian and Aspen Times columnist, Hartley has been a fan of Greek mythology since childhood. At some point he stumbled upon how ridiculously funny the exploits of Tantalus and his progeny could be. “I’ve always been a Greek myth fan, and I’m not sure how it happened, but I realized this succession from Tantalus to his son Pelops to his sons, they just do horrible, horrible things,” he recalls. “And I said, ‘This is too funny not to be a comedy.’” He wrote out some of the wildest stories in Greek mythology and the new play emerged in six successive sketches in the outlandish tradition of Mel Brooks and Monty Python. Hartley narrates as Professor Chorus (and has grown out a beard to look the part), among a cast of six. Hartley, the performers and director Mike Monroney spent recent weeks working through the material, improvising and finding laughs together. “We just throw anything at the wall, and if it’s funny we keep it,” he says. Admission is free. Audience members are encouraged to bring chairs, blankets and picnics.

Hudson Reed Ensemble’s “The Generations of Tantalus” plays Saturday and Sunday at the old Aspen Art Museum grounds.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with GARY WOCKNER

An even bigger threat to rivers IF THERE’S ANY good news to be gained from the toxic spill of mine wastes into the Animas River upstream of Durango, Colorado, it’s that public attention has suddenly shifted to the health of rivers in the West. The 3-million-gallon accident riveted the media, even rating a story in England’s Guardian newspaper. Here at home, officials took action almost immediately: Biologists put out fish cages to see if the sludge was killing fish, and chemists began testing the murky water for acidity and heavy metal concentrations. Within a few days, the governor of Colorado, both Colorado U.S. senators, and the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency — whose contractors triggered the spill — showed up in Durango to express their regret, outrage, support, etc. They promised that it would never happen again. But of course a disaster is sure to occur again, because there are thousands of century-old abandoned mines in the region that have never been thoroughly cleaned up. And as the saying goes: Acid mine drainage is forever. But while an orange plume of heavy metals moving through a river system toward a major reservoir like Lake Powell is certainly a serious problem, there’s another danger targeting rivers in the West. It’s the kind of disaster that sometimes kills every living creature in a river, imperils the river’s health for weeks and months, causes extensive contaminations of E. coli and heavy metals, and destroys the recreational economy — rafting, tubing, fishing — for months at a time. This disaster is caused by dams. Whether they are large or small, they block a river so that water can be diverted for farms, ranches or domestic use. From its beginnings high on the Continental Divide, for example, the Colorado River loses 90 percent of its flow to diversion in the first 40 miles. Once the Arkansas River leaves the mountains and heads for Kansas, it becomes a dribble of its former self. The dammed and diverted South Platte River through Denver is often a putrid, algae-ridden and depleted mess, and when it exits town, most of its flow is made up of discharge from Denver’s sewage treatment plant. The Cache la Poudre, near my home in northern Colorado, is sometimes drained bone-dry as it moves through

downtown Fort Collins, and when it does have water in it, its native flow is diminished over 50 percent by dams and diversions. Colorado is just the tip of the iceberg of river destruction. Rivers across New Mexico and Utah are in a similar desperate condition. And in Southern California and Arizona, most rivers are drained completely dry every single year. The Gila River in Arizona, once a large and beautiful tributary of the Colorado River, is now completely dead except during rare monsoon rains that fall perhaps once every 20 years. But there’s worse to come. The states of Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Utah have all just gone through official water-planning processes and are proposing even more dams and river-draining activity. The governor of Wyoming has called for “10 new dams in 10 years.” The state of Utah wants to put “a dam on every river in the state,” and water agencies in Colorado are proposing large new diversions out of the Colorado River. In addition, Colorado yearns to retain every legal drop before its rivers cross the state’s boundaries. As you watch the media focus for a while on river health, consider this trivia question: Where was the last major dam and river-destroying project in Colorado? If you guessed it was on the Animas River, southwest of Durango, you’re right. The controversial Animas-La Plata Project erected a huge, new dam and reservoir, a pumping station to divert water out of the Animas River, and the federal government did it all with virtually no mitigation to offset the impacts to the river. Were elected officials outraged at this project? No, they celebrated it and named the reservoir Lake Nighthorse after former Colorado Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell. If this plume of poisoned water moving downstream teaches us anything, maybe it ought to be this: All of our rivers are at risk so long as we continue to prevent them from running free. John Colson’s column will return next week. Gary Wockner is a contributor to Writers on the Range, a column service of High Country News (hcn.org). He directs two river protection organizations, Save The Poudre and Save The Colorado, and is based in Fort Collins.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Midnight miners around a “drifter” preparing to drill.

DRILLING AND BLASTING If you have ever used a hand drill, you may recall that drilling

a half-inch hole is easier than a drilling a 1-incher, and that drilling into pine is easier than into hardwood. In the worst case, when drilling wide and deep holes into hardwood, you need a more powerful drill. A miner drills into hard rock with an even larger, more powerful drill.

THOSE WHO DUG mine tunnels benefited from technological advances, but the process was always the same: drill holes into rock, fill the holes with blasting powder, ka-boom, and the tunnel becomes longer. While the work may sound simple, it required skill to carry it off without collapsing the tunnel or worse — killing someone. The stakes were high and the pay was too — the best at a mine. Similar to the way a sculptor removes rock to create form, the driller sculpted the underground to create space. Where he drilled the holes, the angle he used, how deep he drilled, and the sequence of setting off the blasting powder determined the shape and the slope of the tunnel. Modern mining dates to the invention of the pneumatic drill. Before then miners drilled holes by hand, swinging heavy sledges against steel bars that had a wedge-shaped end. The modern drill, powered by compressed air, turns a hardened steel drill bit. The bit is about 1 inch across. It has a hollow middle that allows cooling water to pass through at very high speed. The operator advances the drill bit by turning a crank that pushes the bit slowly into the rock. A device known as a “drifter” holds the heavy drill in place, using a jacking system to pin the drill between rock walls.

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

During the 1920s, workers at the Midnight Mine dug most of its 7,000foot tunnel. A sole miner in one shift could drill 15 holes. If conditions lined up to the miner’s advantage — average rock hardness, little water seepage, not much time required to timber the tunnel so it didn’t collapse — the day’s single blast sequence would break between 3 and 5 feet of rock.

drifter to drill three or four holes near the bottom of the tunnel face. Those holes held the explosives set to fire last. They were called “lifters” because they would lift the material from the first explosions and make it fall away from the tunnel face. The mucker cleared the previous day’s material and the miner finished drilling. Then the men laid large steel

THE MINER COUNTED THE NUMBER OF BLASTS. IF THAT NUMBER EQUALED THE NUMBER OF HOLES HE HAD DRILLED, HE WENT HOME. IF NOT, HE LEFT FOR DINNER AND WAITED FOR THE AIR TO CLEAR, AND THEN HE WOULD RETURN TO THE MINE TO FIGURE OUT WHICH LOADED HOLES DID NOT GO OFF. A driller would begin his shift by setting up the drifter. To do so, he had to maneuver across about 20 tons of material that had been blasted the day before. The drifter was so heavy that another miner, called a mucker, would help set it up. The mucker’s main job was to shovel the blasted material into ore cars. During the exertion, the men breathed stale air powdered with rock dust. Next, the driller moved and connected air and water hoses to the drill, and drilled most of the holes. After lunch, the men repositioned the

Aug u st 27 - S e pte m b e r 2 , 20 15

plates on the floor of the tunnel. When the blasted material fell onto the smooth metal surface, it was easier for the mucker to scoop up the debris and transfer it into mine cars. Finally, the driller loaded and set the charges. Miners do not use the term “dynamite,” but that is the explosive they used. They called it “powder.” They inserted the explosive into all of the holes. At the outside end of each hole they attached primers, explosives that set off the dynamite. Fuses, about 6 feet in length, connected to the primers. The fuse lengths differed

slightly from one another, so that not all of the powder would explode at the same time. The driller would set up a sequence of blasts, depending on the rock type and how he wanted to break up the rock. He set the lifters to fire last. He connected all the fuses at the far end, and lit them. It took about five minutes for the fuses to burn to the primers, enough time for the men to move about a hundred feet down the tunnel. The miner counted the number of blasts. If that number equaled the number of holes he had drilled, he went home. If not, he left for dinner and waited for the air to clear, and then he would return to the mine to figure out which loaded holes did not go off. Usually it would be the bottom holes, closest to water that seeped and interfered from all directions inside tunnels. Tending holes that had not fired was the most dangerous task of the day. The risky work lifted rock as well as the driller’s salary. 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.

BACK TO SCHOOL

1882 ASPEN

“THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS have opened their doors again for regular sessions,” announced the Aspen Weekly Times on Sept. 23, 1882. “There has been a busy hurrying to and fro of children of all ages. At noon the streets are filled with rosy-cheeked girls, carrying their satchels, and we can see on the corners a crowd of boys. There is the same speculative fellow we knew when a boy, trading an old knife for a rubber shooter. The beautiful school building that serves to elevate the standard of education, is built in the heart of town, and is already so full that there is need of additional accommodations at no distant day. The Board is composed of active and intelligent men, who look carefully after the management of the schools. About 100 pupils have been enrolled in the rooms, and others will report in a few days. The teachers in charge give general satisfaction, and we see no reason why the schools of Aspen should not turn out cultured women and learned men.” The image above is a lantern slide of the Lincoln School, built in 1882.

COOK IT UP: ‘BRIEFCASE’ GRILL

SEARCH FOR “BRIEFCASE GRILL” online and you get dozens of results, a barrage of foldable cooking apparatuses that support the burning of charcoal or gas to prepare food over flame. The Elevate Grill is a luxury-end contender in the category, a $250 gas grill that melds ample cooking real estate with a packable design. The company calls it the “largest, most portable gas grill ever.” On its cast-iron grates you get 286 square inches of grilling space, or enough to cook for a small crew. I brought it into the outdoors for camping trips and on picnics, and the unit easily fed my family of six. You pay the big bucks for the Elevate Grill’s industrial design, which is an efficient, lowprofile accomplishment of the aforementioned “briefcase” type. The whole unit clamshells shut, and the support legs hinge up to offer carrying handles. A compartment on one end opens as a storage space. The propane cylinder squeezes in, along with a grill tool and a gas connector valve. Grab the briefcase handles and go — you have an all-in-one cooker to take on hot dogs and corn cobs, shish kabobs, and hamburger

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

patties. No matches are required, either, as the Elevate ignites with a built-in sparker. Flame is controlled via two dials on front. A simmering blue ring of fire sprouts from the burners, a hum of flame under cast iron that can simmer or crank up to a maximum scorch of 14,000 BTUs. Dual surfaces give camp chefs varying grilling platforms. You can cook meat on one side, veggies on the other. Or, set the right panel to high if needed, and leave the left one low just to keep a foiled bit of food warm. Packed up, the Elevate measures in at a briefcase size of about 6 x 19 x 13 inches. It weighs around 25 pounds, which is a bit of heft but forgivable as a portable grill that functions as well as most kitchen stoves.

WHY WINEMAKERS ARE TOSSING OUT THE CORK AS I SAT DOWN in the Willamette Valley to taste the recent releases of Chehalem wines with winery founder Harry Peterson-Nedry, I glanced at the line-up and noticed a similarity. “Everything under screwcap?” I asked casually. While purely serendipitous, I doubt I could have posed a timelier query to the Oregon KELLY J. HAYES winemaking legend. “Yes, we use Stelvin screwcaps on all our wines,” he said with obvious pride, noting the name of the Australianowned closure system that has become synonymous with the ever growing global screwcap movement. “We began to run trials on alternatives to cork in 1994, started using screwcaps in 2003 and five years ago we began to use them on all of our wines.” Ironically, just days before our tasting, Chehalem had launched a seven-city sojourn to showcase their experience using screwcaps for the trade and the press. Under the moniker “Aging Gracefully Tour,” Harry and his marketing staff are touring major wine markets with the last 10 vintages of their esteemed Chehalem Three Vineyard Pinot Noir. They are also taking along a series of charts that show geeky stuff like how the density, browning and SO2 levels of their wines have adjusted over the vintages under cork and cap. Suffice to say, their measurements have shown that the capped wines have either maintained or exceeded the corked in terms of performance. For a man who is as passionate about the science and history of wines as he is about the taste, Harry’s quest to explore new closures is, well, intoxicating. Consider that using cork in glass bottles has been the unquestioned methodology

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

of the wine industry since the mid-1700s. That is when a monk named Dom Pérignon began to use tree bark to seal in the fizz of the sparkling Champagne created at the famed abbey of Hautvillers. Some say the trend began even earlier, as far back as the Greeks and Romans who used wooden materials to cap amphorae and other earthen jugs. As recently as a half-decade ago, when Harry took the plunge, you still would have found a significant segment of the wine consuming public who perceived a connection between screwcaps and low-quality, cheap wines. But thanks to those who had the courage to innovate and do the science proving the advantages of the new closures, that image/ myth has been dispelled. Today, savvy wine consumers, millennials, and even Saturday night drinkers all have reasons to buy wines that are screwed. There are a number of advantages to using screwcaps including cost and convenience. But the most important has to do with a substance called TCA, or more exactly, 2,4,6-trichloroanisole, which results when natural fungi from the corks come in contact with chlorophenol, a stinky compound found in disinfectants. The result is a bottle of wine which, when opened, smells, well, very bad. Think musty, musky old newspapers. When you

hear someone say the bottle is “corked,” that’s generally what has happened. “In our studies we found that up to 8 percent of our wines had some level of TCA,” said Harry about the scourge. “We can’t justify that kind of failure rate for our customers.” Neither could an Australian wine executive named Peter Wall. In 1964, Wall, then a director at Yalumba winery, approached a French company, Le Bouchage Mechanique, which had produced a steel closure for spirits and liquors, to discuss alternative closures for wine bottles. Over the next decade, a

UNDER THE INFLUENCE CHEHALEM 2012 “IAN’S RESERVE” CHARDONNAY An exceptional vintage produced an exceptional wine. Silky smooth in the mouth, the texture of this gem on the tongue stood out instantly. A touch of toast coats the creamy apple, lemon and spice hints that lie in every sip of this nearperfect pour. Named for Peterson-Nedry’s late son, it is poetic. A perfect example of what a cool climate Chardonnay can be. And it’s under a screwcap.

number of Australian wineries joined Yalumba in the pursuit of change and in the mid-1970s the first Stelvin screwcaps were introduced. The winemakers of New Zealand embraced them, bottling much of their emergent Sauvignon Blanc under cap and consumers began to slowly to accept them. But questions remained as to how well they would work with wines that typically required some aging. In 1997, PlumpJack Winery, a producer of Cabernet Sauvignon in the Oakville region of the Napa Valley that sells it’s wines for well over $100, placed half of its allotment of Reserve Cab in bottles with corks, and half in bottles sealed with Stelvin closures. Nearly two decades later, those who have attended tastings of the wines swear that they are still drinking great. And blind studies conducted at UC Davis have, in conjunction with other wines from the PlumpJack family, showed that screwcaps do a better job of keeping wines at the state in which they were originally bottled. That is, as the winemaker intended them to be served. Owned today by the Melbourne, Australia-based packaging company Amcor, Stelvin has become so ubiquitous in the world of screwcap wines that they are virtually considered to be a generic. Though there are a few competitors in the growing market — GSeal, VinPerfect, and Guala are three California companies that are developing products — Stelvin closures continue to dominate the

WHY BUY WINE WITH SCREWCAPS RELIABILITY TCA, or cork taint is not an issue with a screwcap FRESHNESS A wine with a screwcap is fresh when you buy it and remains fresh after you put the cap back on. Every wine is as the winemaker intended. EASE OF USE No more looking for the corkscrew. Simply twist the top and your wine is ready to drink. COST It may not be reflected in your exact bottle, but corks can cost as much as a quarter each. Winemakers who use screwcaps can pass the savings onto consumers.

growing market. In the coming years it is inevitable that new technologies will evolve and that the current closures will be steadily improved and perhaps even made obsolete. But regardless, the wines of today will be better tomorrow thanks to the Aussies, the Kiwis, the folks at PlumpJack and Chehalem’s Harry Peterson-Nedry. They took a chance to explore new frontiers for all of us who love wine. ABOVE: Harry PetersonNedry assess Pinot Noir in the Chehalem barrel room.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

THE AWAKENING SLEEPLESS NIGHTS IN HUNGERTOWN

THE CLOCK TICKS past 3 a.m., and I lay in bed, my mind a fast-spinning carousel of inane thoughts. It’s been hours since dinner, the wine has worn off long ago, and I realize that the post-meal espresso was a poor choice before an evening spent at home. Despite a cup of chamomile tea and what seems like endless puffs of “heavy indica” (which AMANDA I’m convinced must RAE have been mislabeled), I can’t fall asleep. My stomach rumbles and my racing mind turns to the kitchen, where it scans the contents of the fridge. Before I seek alternate methods to a self-imposed knockout, I slip out of bed to investigate. I can’t help myself. I know from experience: A snack might do the trick. As expected, the fridge interior is a sorry sight: Some fresh basil, two packages of string cheese, aloe juice, broccoli, half a red onion, and a Mason jar with the crusty dregs of chile sambal made months ago. Condiments are crammed into the door like a Chinese jigsaw: white miso, soy sauce, maple syrup, mustard, anchovy paste. I spy a longneglected jar of peanut butter. Next to it: A jar of pepperoncini. Hmm. Standing here in the fluorescent glow, my insomnia-addled brain wonders how the two taste together. Pickles and peanut butter are a favorite among pregnant ladies, right? I’ve never been knocked up — uh, knock on wood — but the combination is intriguing in its weirdness. Might the interplay of briny, slightly spicy peppers dosed on Yellow No. 5 with salty, extra crunchy peanut butter be too much of a good thing? Partly because I don’t want to brush my teeth again and partly because I remember adding julienned pepperoncini to soba noodles with

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

peanut sauce that one time in an experimental mania, I decide to forgo a taste test until morning. That is, if I ever get to sleep. I’m not alone. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 30 to 35 percent of Americans have brief symptoms of insomnia; 15 to 20 percent have a short-term insomnia disorder, which lasts three months or fewer; and 10 percent have a chronic insomnia disorder, which occurs at least three times per week for at least three months. Many turn to late-night snacks in an attempt to coax the body back to sleep. But is eating the answer? Not always. “Snacking can have a negative effect on sleep,” says Dawn Shepard, an Aspenbased nutritionist who admits to struggling with sleep issues but hesitates to call herself an insomniac because, “part of overcoming insomnia is to stop telling yourself you are one.” The goal, she says, is to approach bedtime restfully; a body digesting food is not in a restful state. However, going to bed not adequately sated can be a trigger in itself. “If you eat something before bed, it should be just enough to curb hunger but not so much you feel full,” Shepard says. Her go-to snack: a slice of wholegrain toast with a smear of nut butter—just enough to take the edge off without taxing the body. “Snacking can increase the body’s ‘engine,’ which is the very last thing you want,” Shepard explains. “It makes much more sense and is healthier to stop eating around 7 p.m. or so and then eat again at 6 or 7 a.m. The exception would be a very light snack.” Shift that timing forward a few hours, and I’m still way off track. But I’m not a freak: Turns out there’s a term associated with sleepless folks who feel the urge to raid the fridge in the middle of the night. “Nocturnal eating (drinking)

Aug u st 27 - S e pte m b e r 2 , 20 15

syndrome is exemplified by repetitive awakenings with reestablishment of sleep only after eating or drinking,” explains Dr. Alice Kaniff of Aspen Dental Sleep Medicine. “In most cases this is a learned behavior, not real hunger. This pattern of behavior will lead to weight gain and obesity.” I saw that one coming. What I didn’t see is that while insomnia is associated with a cornucopia of environmental factors such as excessive noise, noxious odors, bright lights, extreme temperatures, and a snoring bed partner, food could also be to blame. Aside from the obvious — foods containing caffeine or stomach irritants — food allergens can disturb sleep. “Food-allergy insomnia occurs more frequently in children (infancy to 4 years of age), but is also a problem for some adults,” Kaniff says. “The removal of the food or drink allergens that cause the insomnia normalizes sleep.” The good news for those of us who will only fall back asleep after a junk-food sesh? “Retraining behaviors will eliminate the midnight cookie binge habit,” says

Kaniff, who sits on the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and was formerly recruited to aid stressed-out fighter pilots at the United States Air Force Academy Dental Clinic. She suggests sticking to basics: a balanced diet, exercise, and, if symptoms worsen, a visit to a sleep doctor to rule out any serious issues. Adds Shepard, “To sleep better, you must have to create a great deal of structure around your daily routine, especially the hours before bedtime.” Forty-five minutes later, I’m wide-awake, still. Screw it, I think. My routine was shot long ago. The caffeine is wearing off, finally, but I can’t stop thinking about peanut butter and pepperoncini. Crunchy peanuts … spicy peppers. Sea salt on sodium. I slip out of bed again and shuffle back to the kitchen. For now, I can’t fight it. I’m a night owl. And I’ll take a strangebut-tasty food experiment over sleeping anytime.

MIDNIGHT IN THE KITCHEN MIDNIGHT IN THE KITCHEN “Insomniacs report an inability to fall asleep or to remain asleep,” says Dr. Alice Kaniff of Aspen Dental Sleep Medicine. “These persons may feel that their sleep is short and inadequate, light and easily disrupted, or nonrestorative.” So when does midnight snacking help — and when does it hurt? “There seems to be some evidence that tart cherry juice can help with sleep, though I have not tried this,” says Aspen-based nutritionist Dawn Shepard, who admits to struggling with sleep but says cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which involves changing negative attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, has helped. “Healthy, unprocessed foods — but not too much — are best. Keep it low in fat and animal proteins because they are hard to digest.” The worst snacks, she says, are processed and high in sugar, like cookies, or high in fat and animal protein, like ice cream. Not surprisingly, alcohol is an adversary. “Even though it makes you sleepy when you drink it, it messes with your sleep cycle — a real culprit in waking you up after being asleep for a few hours,” Shepard says. Ditto for caffeine — chocolate included. “There is no magic bullet for insomnia, from a food standpoint,” Shepard says. “Insomnia really boils down to anxiety about sleep. The more often you can’t sleep, the more you tell yourself you can’t sleep, and then you’re in a horrible pattern and it’s very difficult to break. You have to create a great deal of structure around your sleep, and change the self-talk and beliefs you have about sleep. This is challenging, but possible.” In other words, tell yourself you’re very

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

SO MANY MAYAS A few months back, I declared a mission: Return to the Westin Riverfront in Avon and try a Pepino on the sprawling deck of its Maya Restaurant, overlooking the pool, hot tubs and river below and with spot-on views of Beaver Creek above. As luck (or sheer determination) would have it, I found myself doing just this a few weeks ago. But this time, I branched out. On the menu of this chic, contemporary restaurant are an array of Maya Margaritas. There’s the Traditional, the Mercado, the Agavero, the Sandia Tajin ... the list goes on and on. But the menu also features the Pepino (which I raved about before), other “cocteles,” sangrias, cervezas and more. So what did I choose to quench my thirst on this summer

ESCAPE ARTIST | RHODE ISLAND

by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY

PROVIDENCE: THE COOLEST CITY YOU’VE NEVER BEEN TO PROVIDENCE. You might have an inkling as to where it is (Near Boston? Yup.), but you really have no idea what this historic college town is all about. From its grimy years dominated by crooked politicians, organized crime, a depressed bluecollar economy and a decades long exodus of post-graduate youth, Providence is finally seeing a turnaround. AMIEE WHITE People are discovering, BEAZLEY or moving back to “DownCity,” and Providence is beginning to retain its graduates from Brown, RISD, Johnson & Wales and Providence College with low rents and a vibrant food and arts scene. Located three hours from New York City and just an hour from Boston, Providence is the quirky best of both metropolises, at the fraction of the population, and cost. Let’s put it this way — you’re an artist, a chef or just a kid (young or old) with an idea, Providence is the place where it can be tested and grown.

WHERE TO STAY: THE DEAN I’m not sure why it took so long for a place like The Dean to make it to Providence, but it was worth the wait. Straightforward excellence at affordable prices — this place is both style and substance. The building (built in 1912 and once a former strip club) is historic, but the 52 rooms, small by design, feel light and fresh. The Dean is also home to Bolt, an artisanal coffee house, The Magdalenae Room cocktail lounge, Faust (a Bavarian beer hall) and Boombox (a freakin’ Tokyo style karaoke lounge). Wicked cool.

WHERE TO EAT: NORTH Food in Providence has always been fairly predictable but great. Standout southern Italian is standard fare throughout the city, so when I had a chance to eat some Asian noodles, I jumped. With tables enough for about 20 and a bar big enough for seven, North is a tiny, no-reservations restaurant located in Providence’s emerging West End with a menu unlike anything else you will find in PVD. Chef James Mark’s cooking

philosophy and creativity was solidified after years at Momofuku Ko with Peter Serpico, and then at Momofuku Milk Bar with Christina Tosi. I started off with some littlenecks on the half-shell, tiny ham biscuits with spicy gingerscallion mustard and followed by a mind-blowing bowl of Dan Dan noodles with goat, squid and fermented chiles. How’s that for delicious variety? My mouth is still watering; I can’t wait to go back.

WHERE TO PLAY: BREAKTIME BOWL & BAR Outside of New England there are few people who know what duckpin bowling is. Think 10 short and fat pins (like ducks) that are taken down at a high rate of speed by a bowling ball (with no fingerholes) the size of an adult’s hand. It’s fast, it’s fun and completely different from bowling of any other kind. BreakTime Bowl

is technically in Pawtucket (about 10 minutes from Providence) but it is a place that begs a visit. Discovered just a few years ago by the owners of a refurbished mill (now home to the Hope Artiste Village and live music venue the Met Cafe), this six-lane bowling alley had been locked up for almost 100 years and forgotten. Now it has been completely refurbished, and you can bowl like the mill workers did during breaktime — complete with human pin setters, or “pinboys,” who also roll back the balls to you while you snack on bar apps and craft beer from the local Bucket Brewery.

DESTINATION | BEAVER CREEK

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

A DOUBLE TAKE THAT DIDN’T DISAPPOINT BACK IN MAY, I vowed to return to the Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa in Beaver Creek. My logic at the time was to experience this stellar property at its prime; the offseason weekend we were there was clouded in the typical Colorado mud-season mix of rain, snow and the occasional burst of sunshine. It was great to get away — any trip past the roundabout is a good trip in my world — but to be honest, an offseason weekend of messy boys’ lacrosse didn’t do the trick. Plus, I knew this Westin was something special; I could tell from the minute we checked in that this was the type of place where I could enjoy some serious “me” time. From the chic but lodge-inspired lobby and perfectly appointed rooms to the upscale spa and contemporary restaurant and bar, I only had to spend one night there to know I wanted more. To me, more meant enjoying a cocktail on the sprawling deck of the Maya Restaurant (see Libations, page 18), strolling the riverside path before diving into the massive

lap pool, and hunkering down under fluffy blankets in an airconditioned oasis. You get the idea. Thus, it became a bit of an obsession. Lo and behold, fate intervened. This time by way of boys’ hockey; a week in Vail was on the summer calendar — and the Westin Riverfront was only a hop, skip and a jump away from the condo where we were staying. Now truth be told, I couldn’t pull off a real vacation to the Westin, but the power of a mini-escape — day at the spa; drinks on the deck; evening in friend’s room — cannot be underestimated. My suspicions were confirmed: this is a resort to book ... in offseason, on-season, any season. And it’s close to home, which has led to my next vow: A girls’ trip to Beaver Creek (no sweaty boys, thank you very much), where I can immerse myself all the amenities I’ve tasted – but not truly enjoyed — in my last two visits. Stay tuned ... jmcgovern@aspentimes.com

A DIFFERENT TWIST ON A FAMILIAR CLASSIC The Food & Wine Magazine Classic at Aspen is a highlight of my summer. I love it all — but especially the Grand Tastings in the big tent in Wagner Park. So when I learned that Beaver Creek was hosting its annual Wine & Spirits Festival during my week-long “vacation” in Vail this summer, I felt compelled to check it out. Set in a small tent at the base of the Beaver Creek ski area, it was immediately clear this would be a bit different than the Aspen Classic. And while there were fewer offerings than“our” festival, and the crowd was a bit more subdued than the annual throwdown Food & Wine has become for Aspenites, this party had flair. It was intimate, easy to navigate and — at the end of the day — it lived up to its name. There were dozens of winemakers pouring generous tastings, and spirits ranging from bourbon and vodka to tequila and sake on hand. And the food...well, that was a highlight, with more than a dozen of Vail and Beaver Creek’s finest restaurants serving up tasty treats. So good, in fact, I’ll go back for seconds next year.

A BOND THAT CAN’T BE BROKEN THE BEARD FAMILY LOST A FATHER AND A SON ON A CAMPING TRIP IN THE ASPEN BACKCOUNTRY. THEY SHARE THEIR STORY. by JASON AUSLANDER

CAMERON BEARD WAS SUPPOSED TO LIVE TO SEE HIS 14th BIRTHDAY. He was supposed to return home to Colorado Springs the night of July 15 from a backpacking trip near Aspen with his father, his older sister and his younger brother. If he had, he would have been the guest of honor at a Hobbit-themed surprise party complete with battle reenactments, water fights and, most importantly, lots of food. “He loved to eat,” said his mom, Camille Beard, during a visit to the family’s home in Colorado Springs. “And he loved the Hobbit.” But it wasn’t to be.

Cameron died July 15 — the day before his 14th birthday — in a tent in the Maroon Bells Wilderness. His father, Jeffrey Beard, 41, also died that day. His younger brother and older sister, who were sleeping in the same tent, lived. The coroner says Cameron and Jeffrey died of carbon monoxide poisoning — the result of Jeffrey using a camp stove inside the tent to heat water for warmth. Camille Beard believes the coroner is wrong, and insists her husband and son died from a lightning strike (see “Was it Lightning or Carbon Monoxide?”, page 30). “Jeff was over-cautious and careful,” she said. “He never makes mistakes (like) the camp stove and stuff like that. He was cautious. There’s no way Jeff would have left a stove on.” Either way, a large and close-knit family — which also includes two younger children — has been wounded, heartbroken and forever changed by what happened that night in the cold, wet and unforgiving Colorado wilderness.

Elise and Cameron were close in age and best friends. They loved playing board games, hanging out and watching movies, Elise said. Brandon was born about seven years later. Seemingly a bit more serious than his older siblings, he is a quiet 7 year old with red hair as intense as his brown eyes. He was the youngest member of the family on the ill-fated backpacking trip and, except for the first time he saw his mother after the ordeal, he didn’t say a word for two days. The fourth child in the Beard family is Corbin, a lively 3-year-old who introduced himself as “George” to a reporter who visited recently. “Cameron called him ‘George,’” his mother explained. “And he called Cameron ‘Fred.’” The last member of the family is Sarah, 2, who shyly buried her head in her grandmother’s shoulder when a reporter asked her name during the same visit.

INTO THE WILD

FAMILY TIES Camille, 40, and Jeff, both from large Mormon families, grew up 2 miles apart in Idaho Falls, Idaho. They went to the same high school — Jeff was a year older — but didn’t know each other until they met at BYU-Idaho in Rexburg. Jeff was intelligent, strong and energetic. Camille said he was also handy and could fix things, which led him to study electrical engineering. “He had a 4.0 (grade point average),” she said. “He was really smart. When we started dating, his GPA dropped a bit, but it made me happy because he put me first. He always put his family first.” Jeff was also a good-natured guy. “He always brought fun to everything,” Camille said. “He walked in the room and it became more fun.” Elise, born in 1999, was their first child. Now nearly grown up with long red hair, a quick smile and a kind, genuine face, she was the one who had to keep her head on straight that tragic night, take care of her little brother and figure out what to do next. Elise turned 16 almost exactly a month after the death of her father and brother. Her family threw her the surprise party meant for Cameron, though they ditched the Hobbit theme in favor of a DJ, 60 kids and snacks. “Everybody needed a party,” Camille said. Cameron came along just 23 months after his sister, but was born with two heart defects and later had a pacemaker installed. When he was 9 years old, he underwent heart surgery that was supposed to last only a few hours. Instead it stretched into a 17-hour “horrible” ordeal, Camille said. “The cardiologist said he was the toughest kid he knew,” Camille said. Cameron took medicine for his heart condition and had to be cautious. He also struggled to learn to read and write, though he was a whiz at math. Still, in the numerous pictures that line the walls of the Beard home in Colorado Springs, a glasses-wearing Cameron is almost always smiling. “Cameron was happy,” Camille said.

Jeff Beard started backpacking at a young age and had lots of experience in the backcountry, Camille said. He wanted to pass his love of backpacking on to his children. Elise said her dad first took her backpacking when she was 8. “I didn’t like it at first,” she said. “I didn’t like being alone in the woods. But last October we went to Chicago Basin (near Durango) and I loved it.” Elise said the July backpacking trip to the Maroon Bells Wilderness was in the works for two years. “We had to squeeze things and move them around,” she said. “(My father) wanted to get three backpacking trips in this year. But this one was going to happen no matter what.” The plan was for Elise, Cameron, Brandon and Jeff to tackle the Four Pass Loop, a 28-mile roundtrip “ambitious backpacking trip” in the Maroon Bells/Snowmass Wilderness, according to the U.S. Forest Service website. The route goes over West Maroon Pass (12,500 feet), Frigid Air Pass (12,415 feet), Trail Rider Pass (12,420 feet) and Buckskin Pass (12,500 feet), and is rated “difficult” by the website. They’d been in the backcountry three days and were climbing up the third pass about noon on July 14 when they noticed storm clouds gathering. Elise said they decided to get up and over the pass as quickly as possible. Brandon and Elise hiked up the pass together while Jeff and Cameron made slower progress behind them. “Cameron was having a hard time,” she said. When they got to the top of the pass, storm clouds were all around them, Elise said. They descended into the 2-mile-wide valley, then skipped lunch in favor of a quick snack in order to try and keep ahead of the storm. But the clouds kept coming, Elise said. Lightning and thunder began as they started up the fourth pass. When they saw lightning hit a large rock higher up the hill, she said her father began looking around for shelter. However, the only thing around was a large rock, which wasn’t much shelter at all, she said. The family put on raincoats, covered their backpacks with ponchos as best they could and TOP TO BOTTOM: The Beard family at the Maroon Bells in 2014; Cameron Beard on a backpacking trip; father and son at the hospital, where Cameron underwent surgery for a heart condition at age 9.

hunkered down next to the rock hoping the storm would pass. “The rain kept getting worse and worse,” Elise said. “We saw lightning strike the mountain. Then another struck about 30 yards away. We decided to get up the pass and try and find shelter.” Jeff left the kids at the rock and took all of their packs halfway up the pass, then came back for them, Elise said. “We had to get over the pass,” she said. “I was in charge of Brandon. We sang songs to distract us.” Though it was a struggle, they made it over the fourth pass and the thunder and lightning abated as they descended into the next valley. “That was really good,” Elise said. “But it kept pouring. The trail was like a river. We couldn’t see more than a quarter of a mile because of the mist.” Jeff decided they needed to camp as soon as possible, and Cameron was able to find a campsite near a rock in the middle of a meadow that wasn’t

ideal but they took it anyway, she said. “I just remember being really cold and wet,” Elise said. “I couldn’t grab anything with my fingers because they were so cold.” Somehow her father and brother put up two tents, she said. They threw all their wet clothes and gear in one tent and the family all piled in the other. They had only two dry sleeping pads, though their sleeping bags were mostly dry. Elise and Jeff were laying on one pad, while Brandon and Cameron were on the other. Elise said she was shivering badly so her father put his arms around her to keep her warm. Cameron was in charge of doing the same with Brandon. Jeff then fired up their backpacking stove inside the tent and began heating water. He heated enough to fill a water bottle for each of the three children, Elise said. “I got one and it warmed me up pretty good,” she said. “I kind of zonked out after that.”

THE LONGEST NIGHT At some point during the night, Elise woke up and tried to rouse her father, but he was unresponsive. At the same time, Brandon was unsuccessfully trying to wake up Cameron. “(My father) wasn’t moving,” she said. “I knew he was dead.” Camille did not want Elise and Brandon to have to talk about that night in depth. However, Elise said that at some point she brought Brandon next to her — she had been between her father and Cameron — and tried to comfort him and keep herself warm. “(The night) felt like forever,” Elise said. “All night I kept thinking what I would do if they really were gone.” At daybreak, Elise put her dad’s car keys, his wallet, their cell phones, the first aid kit and some food and water into one of the packs. As she was doing so, she said she noticed the stove, which was

WAS IT LIGHTNING OR CARBON MONOXIDE? Camille Beard is convinced her husband and son didn’t die of carbon monoxide poisoning. “I know it was lightning,” she said recently during an interview at her home in Colorado Springs. “Nothing else makes sense.” Her husband, Jeffrey Beard, was found lying on his left side inside the tent with the camp stove he’d used earlier to heat water for warmth located near his chest area, she said. The right side of his face was burned, along with a burn on his right shoulder and a “Z” mark burned through his shirt and into his right arm. She also said he had three marks on the left side of his body nearest the stove she thinks were lightning entrance or exit wounds. “Lightning charred the stove,” Camille said. “It’s the only thing that makes sense.” Autopsy reports that noted 61 percent carbon monoxide blood saturation in her 13-year-old son, Cameron, and 60 percent saturation in her husband are inaccurate, she said. “Sixty percent carbon monoxide is absolutely wrong,” Camille said. “(The ‘Z’ scar on her husband’s shoulder) is a lightning scar. His shirt was melted.” Camille also said Cameron had a burn on the side of his face. The mortician who prepared the bodies for burial told Camille and other family members that the burn injuries “had to be lightning caused,” she said. Finally, Camille said both Brandon and Elise Beard — who survived and were sleeping in the same tent as their father and brother — were tested for carbon monoxide after they were brought to Aspen Valley Hospital and the readings were negative. Elise Beard said in an interview that her father lay on one side of the tent, while she lay next to him with her brother, Cameron, next to her and finally her brother, Brandon, next to Cameron. She told a reporter she saw no indication of a lightning strike on the tent before she left on the morning of July 15. Elise also said she left the tent in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and “the world was tilting.” Elise told a Pitkin County sheriff’s investigator she thought she smelled gas from the camp stove during the night and that she felt nauseous, according to a sheriff’s department report. She said Brandon was “hallucinating there were snakes wiggling in the tent,” according to the report. Those experiences could all be indications of carbon monoxide poisoning, said Dr. Robert Kurtzman, the forensic pathologist who performed the autopsies on Cameron and Jeffrey. Camille said in the interview with The Aspen Times that she didn’t want her children to have to talk about what happened during the night. She declined to comment on Brandon’s alleged hallucinations. Kurtzman said the mortician who told Camille the burns were lightning caused overstepped his bounds. He said it’s not uncommon for experienced funeral directors to believe they are qualified to analyze bodies. “This man did a great disservice to this family and created doubt in this woman’s mind,” Kurtzman said. “And there’s no way to undo that.”

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Kurtzman said he has no doubt that Cameron and Jeffrey died of carbon monoxide poisoning. His autopsy report on Jeffrey notes a “postmortem thermal injury on the right side of the face, neck and shoulder and on the right forearm. There is no other injury. The facial hair is singed greatest on the cheek and in gradual gradient diminishing towards the remainder of the face and scalp. “There are no entrance or exit injuries typical of electric/lightning injury,” the report states. Kurtzman said carbon monoxide is not produced by lightning. In order to be poisoned by carbon monoxide, a person must be alive and breathing, he said. Also, both Cameron and Jeffrey’s bodies were pink in color, another indication of carbon monoxide poisoning, according to autopsy reports. Lightning burns have different characteristics than heat source burns, he said. The “Z” in Jeffrey’s arm was caused by the stove, Kurtzman said. “The type of injury he had was a heat source thermal injury,” he said. Cameron’s autopsy report notes no evidence of any injury, and Kurtzman said he saw no burns on his body. However, a sheriff’s investigator who inspected the bodies at Aspen Valley Hospital after they were brought down by a helicopter wrote that Cameron “appeared to have a small burn mark on one cheek, but no other obvious damage to his body,” according to the investigator’s report. Kurtzman also said he would expect Brandon and Elise not to show elevated signs of carbon monoxide at the hospital because it had likely dissipated from their bodies by the time they were tested. As for why Brandon and Elise survived, while their father and brother had highly lethal levels of carbon monoxide, Kurtzman pointed to conditions inside the tent. He said they could have been inside their sleeping bags or facing in a direction where there were lesser levels of the gas. He also said that younger, healthier people have a better chance at surviving such a situation than

older people or those with heart or cardiovascular problems. “I don’t take (Camille’s doubts) personally,” Kurtzman said. “I feel horrible for this woman. She just lost her husband and son. “Lightning is an act of God. Carbon monoxide is not.” Camille acknowledged that the carbon monoxide diagnosis greatly upsets her. “I feel that tarnishes Jeff’s image,” she said. “He always puts his kids first.” Two deputies who inspected both tents the Beards used found only “one small hole in the rain fly of one tent. The hole was the size of a cigarette burn,” according to a sheriff’s report. After realizing that no one retrieved the stove from the campsite, another deputy and a member of Mountain Rescue Aspen hiked 5.3 miles back into the Maroon Bells Wilderness two days after the deaths to get it, another sheriff’s report states. They found Jetboil stove and two fuel containers “neatly organized in the area in which the Beard family was camping,” the report notes. Neither fuel container was damaged, though the “burner and cup both showed significant burn marks on the outside.” – Jason Auslander

THE ASPEN COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER The Maroon Bells are one of Camille Beard’s top five favorite places on Earth. But the tragedy in the Maroon Bells Wilderness in July that took the lives of her husband, Jeffrey, 41, and her son, Cameron, 13, tainted her feelings toward the area. “It will take me awhile to go back there,” she said in a recent interview in the living room of her home in Colorado Springs. However, the town of Aspen holds a special place in her heart. “When I got to the hospital, people at the hospital cried with me,” Camille said. “They were so sad. They took care of the kids. They were so kind.” Elise Beard, now 16, who survived the experience along with her brother, Brandon Beard, 7, said she was struck “by how kind everyone in Aspen was to us.” “It was such an outpouring of kindness and love and everything,” Elise said. “They took really good care of me and Brandon.” That outpouring started almost immediately after Elise and Brandon left the tent containing the bodies of their father and brother on the morning of July 15 — and it didn’t just involve Aspenites. The first campers they ran into were a family who may or may not have been from Aspen. They took them in, warmed them up and gave them hot food. Another group from Maryland walked them out the 5 miles to the trailhead at the Maroon Bells parking lot, Elise said. “I was so thankful they didn’t come down that mountain alone,” Camille said. “They were with people who cared.” Aspen’s response began in earnest when the children were out of the wilderness. Allison Daily, a grief counselor at Aspen Valley Hospital and the director of a nonprofit that provides counseling to people dealing with grief and loss, was one of those responders. She stayed with Elise and Brandon almost from the moment they arrived at the hospital, and continues to travel to Colorado Springs to visit them. “The kids were never alone,” she said. “We built a circle around them. It was an amazingly collaborative effort. People just cared.” A couple hiking to Crested Butte who encountered Elise and Brandon turned around and helped walk them out, then later dropped off clothes and jackets for them at the hospital, Daily said. The Limelight Hotel in Aspen provided free rooms for the Beards, as well as for Camille’s parents and for Jeff’s parents. Daily said that when she tried to pay for food at the hotel for the family, she was told it was on the house. Daily also started the Beard Family Fund at Alpine Bank for anyone who wants to donate to the family. “I think Aspen is pretty amazing how it shows up,” Daily said. “I think this is a very giving community. Back at home in Colorado Springs, Camille said she’s also received help and support from her church as well as neighbors and the members of both her family and Jeff’s family. – Jason Auslander

black and charred. She said she figured that was the reason she’d been smelling gas all night. Still, she didn’t know what happened. “We thought hypothermia had killed them,” she said. Wearing wet clothes and shoes, Elise and Brandon then walked down the trail about a mile until they came upon a man filling up water bottles from a stream. “I asked if he knew where a ranger was,” Elise said. “He asked if we were with someone and I said, ‘Yes.’ He asked if they needed help and I said, ‘No, they’re dead.’” The man was camping with his wife and two sons. His wife took Elise and Brandon into their tent, took off their wet clothes and put them inside dry sleeping bags. “I shivered for an hour,” Elise said. “We both shivered for an hour.” The woman brought them hot chocolate and oatmeal, and they stayed in the tent for about two hours while a group of nearby campers walked up the trail and checked on Jeff and Cameron. “I’ve never tasted better oatmeal,” Elise said. Later, two brothers from Maryland who were camping with their four sons gave Elise and Brandon dry clothes and walked them out of the wilderness to the trailhead.

THE ROAD AHEAD Elise told the story of that night calmly and evenly. Camille said she wishes she could take the experience away from her daughter, but knows she cannot. “It’s more than any 15 year old should go through,” Camille said. She said she takes comfort in knowing that Jeff and Cameron died together. And she’s grateful Elise and Brandon survived the experience. “(Their survival) is miraculous,” Camille said. “The only way to make it through this is that God has a plan. The plan really sucks, but Elise and Brandon are here and I’m so thankful for that.” Brandon, who sat through his sister’s recitation of the painful events without saying a word, then looked up at his mother. “What if we all died and didn’t come back?” the 7-year-old asked. His mom looked at him for a moment then said, “I would be even more heartbroken than I am.” jauslander@aspentimes.com

ADVENTURE COMES IN MANY FORMS, as all mountain folk know. It comes on raging rivers and powdery peaks, on bike trails and on horseback. Those traditional settings for adventure are well represented at the seventh annual MountainSummit, presented by the Wheeler Opera House and Telluride Mountainfilm. But the four-day film festival, running Aug. 27 to 30, also delves into adventures of the spirit and in realms like activism, creativity and diplomacy. And this year, MountainSummit invites you to do more than watch. The festival opens Thursday with a presentation by local mountaineer Chris Davenport on his recent completion of the “Centennial Challenge” and six short adventure films, followed by the feature “Meru,” about a trio’s attempt to climb the formidable Indian peak known as “Shark’s Fin.” On Friday afternoon, the festival moves to the Limelight Hotel for a conversation about drought and water issues, with acclaimed author Craig Childs, who also hosts a series of short water-related films at the Wheeler (among them is local filmmaker Pete McBride’s awardwinning “Delta Dawn.”) The Friday night feature is “The Diplomat,” by Mountainfilm festival director David Holbrooke, about his father — the former ambassador and assistant secretary of state Richard Holbrooke. Saturday’s lineup includes “Imba Means Sing,” following the African Children’s Choir around the world, and “The Rider and the Wolf,” about the disappearance of Salid-based mountain biker Mike “The Bike” Rust. The feature that night is “No Camera Allowed,” by filmmaker Marcus Haney about his world travels sneaking into music festivals with his camera. The festival then moves to Belly Up for a show by Denver’s Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats. It closes Sunday with Kidz Kino, a presentation of 13 kidfriendly shorts, followed by “Very Semi-Serious,” about New Yorker cartoonist Bob Mankoff, and

“Unbranded,” Ben Masters’ doc on wild horses held in U.S. government holding facilities. HANDS-ON The festival has moved beyond the walls of the Wheeler this year, and is urging festival-goers to get out of their seats. Along with the screenings and talks at the Wheeler by filmmakers and film subjects (including the “Unbranded” horses) MountainSummit is hosting coffee talks, a mountain bike ride and some surprises around town. The Aspen Center for Environmental Studies hosts a

MountainSummit discussion on “The Art of Flow” Saturday morning at 10 a.m. with Chris Davenport, slackliner Josh Beaudoin and Jebidiah Jenkins (subject of the short film “The Thousand Year Journey). Concurrently, David Holbrooke will lead a coffee talk Saturday morning at the Little Nell. Sunday morning at 8 a.m. the filmmakers behind “The Rider and the Wolf ” will host a coffee talk with Mike Rust’s brothers Paul and Carl. Immediately afterward, the Roaring Fork Mountain Bicycling Association will host a mountain bike ride through Sky Mountain Park. “Our filmmakers, directors,

athletes, stars, horses and artists will be a part of the festival experience from beginning to end,” Wheeler executive director Gena Buhler said earlier this summer. “This will include everything from being able to learn how to slackline in Wagner Park, having intimate discussions with filmmakers, a late-night special concert guest and more.” PLAY TIME The interactive family-friendly Kidz Kino program is also a new addition to the MountainSummit lineup, featuring creative art projects to complement the films (which are programmed by a Telluride kids

committee ranging from age 9 to 15). Kids in attendance will each receive a sketchbook asking them, “What would you invent to help change the world?” In a supplement to “Gnarly in Pink,” a short film about young girls ripping in a skate park, a limited number of kids will be invited to paint skateboard decks to bring home. Wood canvases for painting (from the recent Wheeler remodel) will also be on hand. MountainSummit will take over Wagner Park after the film program, for activities like slacklining and rockclimbing. “The afternoon will be interactive, to take creativity to the next level, making an impact on everyone’s film experience,” says Buhler. atravers@aspentimes.com

BOOK REVIEW

‘LAST WORDS’

NOTEWORTHY

A MASSIVE CAVE in southern Indiana symbolizes a family tragedy, a small town’s near ruin and a private detective’s attempts to come to terms with loss in this outstanding launch of a new series by Edgar nominee Michael Koryta. “Last Words” gives a complete look at the struggles of a town’s residents while also delving into the psyche of an emotionally wrought man. Plus, the descents into the huge, dark cave are quite compelling, as a claustrophobic feel pervades Koryta’s new novel. The book introduces private investigator Mark Novak, whose depression after the murder of his wife, Lauren, two years before, has worsened. Mark and Lauren, an attorney, both worked for a Florida firm specializing in exonerating death-row inmates. Mark’s loss of his wife, whom he loved, is exacerbated

by guilt — his last words to her were not terms of endearment, but a snarky comment. Now Mark may be fired by that firm, which frowns on his attempts to get revenge for his wife’s murder. As his employment is debated, Mark travels to Garrison, Indiana, to investigate the decade-old murder of 17-year-old Sarah Martin, who disappeared inside the tourist cave Trapdoor Caverns. The case is unusual because the request came from Ridley Barnes, an expert spelunker and an outcast in Garrison because he remains the prime suspect, though still uncharged. None of the townspeople wants to talk with Mark, including the sheriff, and Mark is beaten up, lied to and threatened by his own client. For the residents, the tragedy destroyed a family and the town’s sense of safety

“Last Words” Michael Koryta Little, Brown and Company, 2015

and ruined it economically. Trapdoor, permanently sealed to outsiders after the murder, had the potential to be a huge tourist attraction and a financial boon to Garrison. But more than one trip through Trapdoor will be necessary to find out the truth. Koryta punctuates the intense underground scenes of “Last Words” with claustrophobia so realistic that it’s palpable. He wrings every moment of excitement possible as the characters crawl through tight spaces and find massive open spaces in a cave that seems to have no end. “Last Words” is a thrilling start to what should prove to be a solid series.
