Trends come and go — and the world of libations is no different. Fortunately for Aspen Times Weekly Editor Jeanne McGovern, the current “it” drink is hard cider, which has long been a personal favorite of hers. In this edition, she taste tests Swedish-made Rekorderlig and its several offerings, which are now being served up in local bars and local liquor stores.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with ANDREW TRAVERS

THEATER CARBONDALE’S THUNDER RIVER THEATRE opens its 20th anniversary season Friday, Sept. 26 with a production of “The Gin Game.” The Pulitzer Prizewinning play, by D.L. Coburn, centers on two residents of a nursing home playing a series of games of gin rummy. As they play, and delve deeper into personal conversation, a battle of wills emerges in what the Boston Globe once called “a perfect play.” Directed by longtime local theater hand Brad Moore, the Thunder River production stars Colorado theater veteran Bob Moore — seen most recently in Aspen Community Theatre’s 2013 staging of “The Producers” and Thunder River company member Julia Whitcombe. The actress, now based in Southern California, returns to the local theater where she has been appearing over the past 18 years in shows like “Blithe Spirit” and “Pride’s Crossing.” The play runs through Oct. 11 at Thunder River, with shows Sept. 26 and 27, Oct. 3-5 and Oct. 9-11. It kicks off a season that also includes “The Lion in Winter,” “Hamlet” and “Red Herring.” The company is hoping to attract a younger audience this season by offering a $50 season ticket — and $17 singleshow tickets — for people in their 20s or 30s. Otherwise, season tickets are $80 for adults and $40 for students. Single tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for students. Find tickets and more information at www. thunderrivertheatre.com

HAVING JUST ENDURED what may be the most wrenching confrontation anyone ever goes through with our nation’s health-care system — the death of a loved one — the reader might expect me to be bitter, even outraged by what went on. I mean, I have written extensively and angrily over the years about the financial and sociological damage done to us, as a nation, by our out-of-control health-care system. And, as a natural extension of that ongoing critique, it might seem only natural that I relay my experience in the most awful terms. But I won’t, because my sister’s healthcare needs were well-addressed, wellunderstood, and well-managed as she went through the final weeks of her life. And it was all thanks to Medicare, that much-maligned bureaucracy that was created to see us through our old age, or final infirmities and our last gasps, at least as far as doctors, hospitals, nursing homes and the like are concerned. I’m not saying it was all roses and light. Medicare steadfastly refuses to pay for extended skilled nursing home care for the old or disabled, unless it can be demonstrated that they are in the facility for therapeutic treatment and are getting better. In my sister’s case — diagnosed with an invariably fatal disease that was finally getting the better of her — there was no possibility of improvement in her condition through any kind of therapy. So, once she had been in a nursing home for a week and a half, and the staff had confirmed she was not making progress, Medicare stopped paying. Which, since the nursing home charges hundreds of dollars a day to patients and we didn’t have it, meant she had to hit the bricks. But she hated the place anyway, and was railing at me and my brother to get her the hell out of there, like, YESTERDAY, GODDAMMIT! But in general, her treatment was good, her costs were covered and we (my brother and I) had no big complaints. Even her hospice costs, as long as she was at home and being ministered to by visiting hospice personnel, were paid by Medicare. Which is only as it should be, given the fact that hospice can cost more than $10,000 a month for private-pay patients receiving 24-hour care. That level of costs, by the way, once again means that only the wealthy can afford to die with the dignity and peace afforded by hospice, in those cases where

it is the best option, unless the person in question is either old enough or disabled enough to be eligible for Medicare. Those who are neither of the above — elderly nor formally and officially declared disabled — too often end up dying in misery and pain, either under inadequate circumstances at home or in a miserable excuse for a nursing home where the rates are low enough for your average family to afford them. So, this experience has bolstered my general belief that the U.S. must, as quickly as it can, convert from a for-profit healthcare system to a single-payer system, a system that for want of a better description has been labeled Medicare for Everybody. It’s the only way we can rein in runaway medical costs, and rationalize the healthcare industry so that it actually works for all of us, not just the wealthy and the insurance industry. And if any further explanation is needed, it was provided in the Sept. 21 New York Times, in which a front-page story described what should be criminally outrageous overcharges for unneeded medical procedures, unrequested and unnecessary medical consultations between doctors whose only justification for participation was to rake in a little extra cash, and other affronts to the idea of health care ought to be something that treats a patient in ways that are not only efficient, but effective. One guy, according to the story, ended up getting a bill for $117,000 from a doctor he never even saw, much less one whose services were either requested or needed, in a case involving neck surgery to fix a herniated disc in a bank technology manager’s neck. The “consulting neurologist,” who slipped that extra charge into the bill, apparently was called in to help out even though a less highly-trained nurse or physician’s assistant could easily have provided the extra pair of hands needed by the primary surgeon, at no extra cost to the patient. Sort of a “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” arrangement between surgeons who feel their halfmillion-dollar annual paychecks simply are not enough. This would not happen under a closely monitored, cost-controlled, singlepayer system, but the level of care would be just as good. And it’s about time we caught on and did something about it.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Before the days of photography, lithographs illustrated newspaper stories. George Ford was one of few locals who warranted such an image.

SOCIETY SCANDAL Aspen has endured no shortage of scandals, especially

because tabloids salivate over any Aspen byline. When Ken DeLay got his comeuppance and had to sell one of his Aspen homes to finance his trial, some allies may have counted him as a semi-resident. However, few Aspen scandals have featured locals solidly ensconced in the town’s social circles. George R. Ford was the most notorious socialite of mining-era Aspen. Ford came to town around 1889 and opened Ford’s Drug Store (later Aspen Drug) on the corner of Hyman and Galena. His success was evident as he bought a house and soon after moved into a bigger home on Bleeker Street. As Ford and his wife immersed themselves in Aspen society, he quickly developed friendships with many of Aspen’s better-known citizens. Youthful at 32, outgoing and light-spirited, he was elected president of the Patriotic Sons of America lodge. Soon he won a position as a Pitkin County commissioner, by a large number of votes. He was known to play practical jokes on his friends. In one of the more elaborate ones, he told an acquaintance that he valued having him around so much that he would pay his train ticket if he would accompany him on a fishing outing. The plan was to take the train downvalley, get off, fish their way several miles downstream to another railroad stop, and then return.

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

The friend arrived at the depot in his fishing gear and without his wallet, because Ford was paying for his ticket. Once the train was underway, the conductor asked for tickets. When the guest said Ford had his, Ford and another friend who was in on the joke pretended they did not know him.

Drug Company of Kansas City, for store inventory. Later, Meyer claimed that they owned the drug store, rather than Ford. Out-of-town doings like that may have escaped local scorn, yet Aspen’s newspapermen, who previously had taken a liking to Ford’s flamboyant personality and business talent, labeled

PERHAPS ASPEN’S LOCALS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY FORGIVING AND LOYAL; PERHAPS FORD PLAYED THEIR HEARTSTRINGS AS A MAESTRO; OR PERHAPS BOTH EXPLANATIONS HOLD SOME TRUTH. They went so far as to suggest that the conductor throw the guest off the train. The conductor, who had been told of the prank, felt the victim’s embarrassment and finally spilled the beans. Ford disappeared in October 1891, two days before the sheriff took possession of his drug store. He left town in debt to more than 16 businesses and countless individuals, owing nearly $380,000 in today’s dollars. Ford’s greatest debt was to the Meyer

S e pte m b e r 25 - O c tob e r 1 , 20 14

him as the town’s worst-ever flimflam man because of his abuse of locals’ trust. Ford would tap locals for short-term loans and then borrow from others to pay off the originals. He would befriend a miner and act as his “financial adviser,” meaning he would control the miner’s bank account and use it to buy and sell stock without the miner’s knowledge. As county commissioner, Ford sold a liquor license and neglected to turn the proceeds over to the county. Worst of all

in some people’s judgment, he cheated at horse-trading. There were many rumors as to where he had gone; it was widely believed that he had escaped to Mexico. Then again, a few months after his disappearance, opinions swayed toward a story that he was in San Bernardino, Calif. His wife had returned to Kansas City, from where they originated, six months before Ford’s disappearance. Her departure raised suspicion that he had planned his escape, continuing to bilk others up to the minute it became clear his wrongdoings had been discovered. Ford was not found until 1893; he was working as the head prescription clerk at a pharmacy in Chicago. His supervisor said he was a valued and trusted employee. When he was brought back to Aspen for trial, Ford was immediately released on bond. He went to work for a mine and vowed to make amends to the community. Ford’s charge was forgery, but the trial ended in his acquittal, mostly on a technicality. Perhaps Aspen’s locals are exceptionally forgiving and loyal; perhaps Ford played their heartstrings as a maestro; or perhaps both explanations hold some truth. At any rate, Ford’s wife joined him in Aspen and there they lived, happily ever after. 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.

1980 ASPEN

“FILMFEST ’80 PROVED THAT interest in the arts does not wane with the end of summer,” asserted The Aspen Times on Oct. 2, 1980. “In fact, would-be viewers waited an hour and sometimes more in line to make sure they got seats in the sold-out showings in the Isis Theater. The filmfest was truly a locals’ event, with close to 20 films in five days in Aspen’s off-season evenings, when many working locals could attend. Representing independent film, almost a dozen film makers from outside the Hollywood arena were present at the festival to discuss their views on one of the last bastions of creative individualism.” The photo above shows Dominic Linza, owner/manager of the Isis Theater, on a ladder putting out the banner for the Filmfest.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

PUT SOME ‘POP’ IN YOUR SHADES

POLARIZED SUNGLASSES HAVE LONG BEEN a favorite choice for people who spend time outdoors, especially around water. Smith Optics recently debuted a different take on the polarized lens game. The company calls its lens technology ChromaPop. It comes in several tints and is advertised to be a new kind of polarization that can “improve the speed of visual processing so you see truer color, faster.” Wait, you will be able to “see faster” with these glasses? That’s the claim. In my test, the ChromaPop effect was in some ways subtle, other ways dramatic. Put on a pair and your vision shifts to show a world of higher contrast and altered colors. I looked at a field of grass in the sun and noticed immediate increased definition — the blades and grass grains popped clearly where before I’d seen more of a uniform field. The grass was greener, more vibrant, as well. The Smith lenses change the color of your surroundings with their tints. But, in truth, the overall ChromaPop difference was subtle compared to other good polarized sunglasses I own. This is to say the

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

GET IT

optics are pleasing and sharp, but the visual experience of popping colors and higher contrast is not entirely unique. Smith markets ChromaPop as something superior. The lenses feel like polycarbonate, but Smith uses a proprietary material called Trivex, a clear and durable urethane-based lens that takes dye to create a tint. The larger marketing effort is around the lenses and how they “eliminate color confusion for the brain.” (This is the “seeing faster” part.) Smith cites ChromaPop’s design

S e pte m b e r 25 - O c tob e r 1 , 20 14

blocks “color intersections” where light waves get muddled. The result, the company claims, is faster mental processing of colors, clearer vision, and reduced strain or eye fatigue. I tested the Polar Brown lens, one of four ChromaPop tint options. It’s a deep, rich shade and was good for sunny summer days. I was happy with the lens performance, and this past summer I grabbed the Smiths more often than other sunglasses on my shelf. ChromaPop lenses are available in several frame types from Smith.

I tested a frame called the Tortoise Lowdown. It’s a stylish design that got lots of comments. However, choosing again I would go with a wrap-around style to better block light coming in from the sides. Sunglasses with ChromaPop lenses like the Lowdowns, as well as sportier options, start at $209. Try ChromaPop if you want to see the world a little sharper, even a little “faster,” perhaps.

WINEINK

A GOOD-LOOKING VINTAGE AS I WRITE THIS, my face remains flushed from my recent trip to California wine country. No, it was not the Cabernet that made me so colorful. Rather it was the September sun that singed my forehead as it kissed the grapes, giving them the healthy hit of heat that ripens them before the harvest. In wine country, everything is about KELLY J. HAYES the harvest. It is the time of year when birth is given to a new vintage. As visitors or tourists to wine country, we can wax poetic about the beauty of the season; about the light that illuminates the vineyards; the dramatic changing color of the leaves as they drop to the ground between the rows of vines; and the deep, dark purple of the grape clusters that hang, waiting to be released. But winemakers are farmers. And as surely as farmers who raise corn, wheat, apples or any other crop, winemakers know that when harvest arrives it is time to get busy. There is a palpable urgency in the air as the harvest begins. Getting a crop in requires not just cooperation from Mother Nature, but teamwork for it to go smoothly and pay back the effort put into the entire season. As I followed a pair of winemakers through their daily rounds last week I learned that, like all great things, the devil is in the details. All year long winemakers and vineyard managers plan for the time from the middle of August to the end of October when they hope to reap a harvest abundant in both quantity and quality. But when that time arrives, they must be prepared to act swiftly and decisively to take advantage of a myriad of changing factors that can create success or failure in a single day. Perhaps the most important decision to be made is which day to pick a vineyard. As science has progressed in winemaking, especially in large volume

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

winemaking, there are entire departments dedicated to gauging the chemistry of the grapes. Factors like brix, or sugar levels, acidity, temperature fluctuations and cluster weights are examined to determine the exact time when a vineyard is ready for harvest. But in what both the winemakers and I followed last week, the final determination in calling the pick came down to pulling a few grapes off a vine, popping them into their mouths and tasting them. If they were sweet, ripe and ready on the tongue, then it was time to make a call and get a crew into the vineyard for the fruit. It was nice to see that even in the most valuable and prestigious vineyards in Napa and Sonoma, the most important factor is still the human one. Making the call is just the beginning of the process. Talented and trained pickers must be mobilized to get to the fields at a moment’s notice. Equipment must be made ready to accept the grapes as they are clipped from the vines. Trucks must be put in place to transport the crop from the vineyards to the wineries. Destemmers, sorters, crushers and fermenters must all be standing by so that the grapes can be processed as quickly as possible and the juice can begin its journey to wine. Frequently, the work begins in the dead of night when the pickers arrive. It can be cold as the fog layer and fall arrive with a vengeance. Last week saw temperatures in some high vineyards drop into the high 40s in the pre-dawn hours as the grapes were harvested and then climb close to 90 by the next afternoon. The true heroes are the Hispanic teams that rifle through the vineyards with stunning skill and alacrity, relieving the vines of the weight of the grapes. When they finish, a good team leaves nary a grape behind Once they are done and the grapes have been transported to the wineries, another team begins their day, taking the fruit and processing it before getting it to the

S e pte m b e r 25 - O c tob e r 1 , 20 14

tanks where the alchemy of turning the sugars to alcohol — the grapes to wine — begins. Everything is choreographed, everything is planned. And each day during harvest, the process is repeated. Fortunately, nature has smiled sweetly on this harvest season in Napa and Sonoma. While warm, there have yet to be any extreme spikes in heat or torrential rains

that can alter schedules and cause chaos. In fact, everything seems to be going perfectly. Except for the occasional sunburn, of course. Kelly J.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

SUPER BAKED

TREATS GALORE AT SWEET COLORADOUGH LAST WEEK, I wrote about the nuanced and nourishing “highprana” food at True Nature Healing Arts in Carbondale, and I’ve been eating mostly raw ever since. The rumors are true: Invigorating effects of such a diet are positively intoxicating. I could use this space to brag about my renewed productivity and penchant for skinny jeans, but who AMANDA RAE am I kidding? This too shall pass. You see, any food writer worth her cheddar simply can’t survive on a strict raw diet. So, on an unending quest for balance —a nd inspired by friend and fellow columnist Barbara Platts’s recent ode to the deep-fried charm of the Kansas State Fair — I sought the polar opposite of raw, righteous food. I craved a sinful treat to make pure-foodists cringe…and I found many of ‘em further downvalley at Sweet Coloradough. Holy cannoli, the sugar rush was intense! Housed in a funky blue-andwhite, peaked-roof structure on Highway 82 just south of downtown Glenwood Springs, the bakery and café churns out a whopping 160 varieties of homemade doughnuts each morning. The array is dizzying: old-fashioned cake and raised doughnuts that are glazed, frosted, dipped, and decorated, many waiting for a cool custom injection of daily fillings that might include Bavarian or chocolate crème, whipped cream, and strawberry, blueberry, apple, lemon, or apricot preserves, among others. There are crowd-favorite croissant doughnuts and apple fritters, bear claws, cinnamon rolls, éclairs, Danish, cookies, scones, muffins, cupcakes, pies and mini pies, biscuits, and breads—from cornbread and pita pockets to honey whole wheat or sausage-pepperJack loaves. The baker’s dozen—no, really, 13—of bakers on Sweet Coloradough’s staff of 22 also craft

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

cakes and dessert smorgasbords for special occasions. As I learned the hard way on a late weekday afternoon, it’s best to arrive early; doors open at 5 a.m. and close when everything is gone. The display cases were nearly deserted, so I ordered a sandwich instead. I destroyed “The Roaring Fork” monster — two Texas-thick slices of homemade bacon bread stuffed with turkey, pastrami, and Provolone, plus my addition of sliced tomato, sauerkraut, and salad greens (ovenroasted zucchini, unfortunately, was also 86ed for the day) — as if I’d never seen sliced bread. About ten other house options include “The Frying Pan” (egg, ham, cheddar, and Swiss on four-cheese bread); “The Border,” (roast beef, chipotle sauce, and pepper-Jack cheese on jalapeño-cheddar bread); and a killer Rueben on Pumpernickel marble rye. Competitive eaters and macho showoffs might choose “The Big Daddy,” a six-inch raised doughnut with three fried eggs and six strips of bacon; I’d opt for its petit counterpart, “The Baby Daddy,” decadent even with only a single egg and bacon strip on a standard raised doughnut. Still craving sugary, fried decadence and hell-bent to eradicate any sense of superiority I developed during my raw food stint, I return to Sweet Coloradough on a rainy Sunday around 11 a.m. When I step through the door, my heart sinks. The small space — which has a cozy coffeehouse vibe thanks to the medley of chairs around café tables, big corner couch, and cheery artwork over a painted stone fireplace — is packed with some 30 patrons, many tucking into pastries and breakfast sandwiches. (The café earned a liquor license two weeks ago, so fruit-spiked mimosas and bloody Marys made with Woody Creek Distillers vodka mingle with mugs of Bonfire coffee and loose-leaf tea.) Clearly Sweet Coloradough — the first fresh-baked doughnut shop in the city after Daylight Donuts

S e pte m b e r 25 - O c tob e r 1 , 20 14

closed some 15 years ago — has become the talk of the town since it opened in May. “I couldn’t find a bakery, a deli, a doughnut shop, a place I could take my kid at night that wasn’t a bar,” explains owner Aaron Badolato, a finance man who escaped Denver with his wife, Anne, to raise their toddler daughter in a more relaxed atmosphere. He has no culinary background, but he saw a niche. And the blue house — formerly home to a string of failed restaurants — sits a block from his house. “I thought I’d sell maybe 500 doughnuts a day,” Badolato says with a laugh. “The first week we were averaging almost 5000 doughnuts a day. We call it ‘doughnut mania.’ (Now) we do about 50,000 to 100,000 baked goods a week, including custom cakes and catered dessert trays. But the true model is a lot more.” Badolato wants Sweet Coloradough to become a community hangout, day and night. Renovations upstairs are almost complete, and a full bar with more seating and an outdoor pool table on the deck is set to open on October 1. “We’ll start to do alcohol-infused

glazes on some of our baked goods, as well as fried chicken, prime rib, and lasagna” dinners, says Badolato, who is committed to using local ingredients. “From cups to alcohol to artists, everything is Colorado based.” (Even bagels, the only item not made in-house, though the company is scouting satellite production space in Grand Junction.) Badolato plans to open another Sweet Coloradough in Aspen by year’s end, followed by outposts in Vail and Boulder next year. Back in a line seven deep but shuffling forward fast, I crane my neck to scope the options. Yes! The case is half full. I end up choosing a few classics, plus an oversized square doughnut coated with Denver Broncos-inspired orange glaze and blue sprinkles, which I order stuffed with “sweet angel” pastry cream. It’s colorful, chewy, and sugary— everything I came here for—but it doesn’t top the Colorado flag and rainbow pinwheel-topped “Timothy Leary-inspired” doughnuts I spy on another visit. Gotta wake up early for those. How do you slay a craving? amandaraewashere@gmail.com

SWEET SCAPEGOAT “Doughnuts have had long life in terms of their place in American culture,” but they get a bum rap, says Sweet Coloradough owner Aaron Badolato. “When you’re in the mood for something sweet and somewhat unhealthy, the doughnut is not that bad. Next to a Snickers bar or an Egg McMuffin from McDonald’s, we are far healthier. We’re making everything from scratch with natural ingredients and a lot of love.” Still, Badolato urges fried dough-starved people of the Roaring Fork Valley to pace themselves. “You can’t have nine doughnuts then sit around and watch TV and blame us!” he says. “Have your one doughnut every other week or maybe go on a hike after you eat that apple fritter.” Sweet Coloradough Open daily at 5 a.m. 2430 S.

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

REKORDERLIG PEAR PERFECT Call it destiny. First, I love cider beer. So, when a few weeks back, a friend returned from a trip to Sweden and joined us for a night of camping with a cold Rekorderlig in her hand, I was more than happy to try the Swedish pear cider. A week later, while at the Aspen Mac and Cheese

Fest, another friend turned up from the local liquor store with a Rekorderlig pear cider to sip while sampling all

the cheesy goodness around us. Then, the email came through: “INVITE Rekorderlig Cider Launch Party at The

Sky Hotel in Aspen.” Really? Clearly, some otherworldly force has been calling on me to drink — and write about — this (thank you, Gunner!). So, I went to the tasting and was as happy as I imagined I’d be. Three types of cider beers — pear, strawberry-lime and wild berries — served up in cocktail fashion, with suggestions for other ways to enjoy this imported cider brand (straight out of the can; as a mixer for liquor). My fave so far: the Pear Perfect, as it was the least sweet of the offerings. But don’t get me wrong...I recognize the divine intervention on my introduction to Rekorderlig and will imbibe accordingly. Libations was created by beloved Aspen Times Publisher Gunilla Asher, who died June 2 after a brave battle with cancer. Cheers - to Gunner!

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

An autumn hike to Crested Butte — and the annual Vinotok celebration — is a rite of passage for many young Aspenites.

THE HEART OF A MOUNTAIN TOWN ASPEN VS. CRESTED BUTTE

THE HEART IS a necessary organ for a human. It keeps blood flowing to all parts of the body and creates our internal rhythm…our pulse. If that beat were to stop, a person would most likely have less than a minute of consciousness before death. But what happens when a town loses its heart? If its pulse ceases entirely? This past weekend, BARBARA I took the popular PLATTS hike over to Crested Butte via West Maroon Pass with several friends. We were heading to Vinotok, a fall harvest festival that occurs every September. My friends and I considered it to be Colorado’s Burning Man. We excitedly prepared our outfits and even made flower crowns on the hike for the final night of the festival. We were all overly excited for the celebration, but I was also eager to check out the town of Crested Butte. Despite growing up in Colorado, I had never ventured to the small mountain community that is often compared with Telluride, Vail, and even Aspen. After we got settled into our hotel, which was located by the ski mountain, we took the brightly painted school buses into town for Vinotok. It was Saturday, so we only caught the final day of the festival in which medieval characters and torchbearers sing and dance down

P H OTO S B Y BA R BA R A P L AT T S

the streets in the evening. This leads up to a trial and burning of a 20-foot-tall figure that has boxes and boxes of people’s written grievances tied to it. The Grump, as they call it, is set on fire for the whole town to see. After the burning, we took to the restaurants and bars in town to celebrate the outcome of the trial. And, boy, does Crested Butte know how to celebrate. Every mountain town is different and perhaps it’s almost petty to compare two of them. However, as I danced on bar tables with heaps of people, talked for hours with local characters, and marched down the street in flower crowns with my gregarious gaggle of friends, I couldn’t help but compare Crested Butte to Aspen. This small, funky mountain town felt like a ghost of Aspen’s past. I couldn’t spot any glaringly overpriced condominiums, designer boutiques, or restaurant and store chains. Aspen has seen many changes over the past decades. I may be young, but even in the past 24 years, I’ve seen some of my favorite shops and restaurants go out of business. I’ve watched real estate prices increase and affordable housing decrease. However, this is not to say it’s all bad. Aspen has thrived. Our ski mountains have grown in popularity and many of our businesses have made brilliant comebacks since the recession. People come here from all over the world and, from what I’ve

seen, they’re always pleased with what Aspen has to offer. But being in Crested Butte, seeing a town where the heart, the rhythm of the community, seemed to be fully in tact made me nostalgic for a meal at the Wienerstube or a shoe binge session at Ozzies. And the cheap drink prices made me miss establishments like the Mountain Dragon or Bad Billy’s. The morning after Vinotok brought a tired group of friends and an eager need to wander about town. We ate at Secret Stash, a large pizza joint with an eclectic range of furniture, knick-knacks, and exotic bathrooms. We then walked into several funky shops. I couldn’t help but be disappointed because I knew that mom and pop stores like this would never again grace the main streets of Aspen. At the end, we found ourselves toasting the successful weekend at Montanya Rum distillery. Less than 24 hours in Crested Butte had me wanting more. But with weaning hours until Monday, we drove back to Aspen. Back to our city. I will always strive to be one of the first people in Aspen to check out a new restaurant or shop at a new clothing store. I can’t wait to square dance at the Whiskey Rush (formerly the Regal) or splurge on a pricey dinner at the new David Burke restaurant (or whatever restaurant that turns into). Without change, without progress

we could not grow. We would cease to thrive. But, after spending such a short time in Crested Butte, I remembered that we also can’t grow without our pulse, our rhythm that sadly seems to be fading. We may no longer be a small, mountain town like Crested Butte but I think it’s important for us to always remember that designer stores and five star hotel chains are not what define this town. We could not thrive without the businesses and the locals that make this town so special. And really….why would we want to? Barbara Platts liked Crested Butte but is happy to be back home in Aspen.

VOYAGES

ESCAPE ARTIST | TELLURIDE

GO FOR THE GOLD IF THE DRIVE TO TELLURIDE doesn’t show you enough autumn splendor, just wait until the San Juan mountains come into view. “From the very moment you pull into Telluride, there is simply nothing that compares to the rugged, steep and extreme terrain of the San Juan range,” said Meghan Gruszynski, marketing manager for The Peaks Resort and Spa. “This incredible region, combined with the beauty of the changing fall colors, sets the stage for a pictureperfect experience.” Take a right turn up towards Mountain Village just before you come into Telluride to get a full scope of all the vistas that keep the area so coveted. The upper village is connected to Telluride by a set of free gondolas, so transportation is both easy and entertaining.

COLORFUL FLAVORS The Peaks Resort in Mountain Village is a great home base for a short trip or extended vacation, and if you arrive before nightfall,

find a seat at the Palmyra Restaurant & Bar — alongside a west-facing wall of windows or on the open-air balcony. Executive chef Patrick Funk has teamed up with food and beverage manager Matt McConnell to bring “regionally relevant cuisine” to the table, with 75 percent of their products sourced locally. www. thepeaksresort.com Start with a Palisade peach Bellini to settle in, prepping your taste buds for a cup of Olathe corn soup — rich in texture and full of fall flavor. McConnell’s wine list is extensive, and his recommendations are fun and informative. A bottle of pinot noir accompanies the range of cuisine well, from the pan seared halibut to the succulent bison ribeye. The dining room stays lively as the sun dips below the horizon line, but gradually, full bellies are called to their accommodations — heading to sleep amidst down feathers and dreams.

GET UP AND GO While the mountains aren’t moving and it’s temping to sleep in, early risers are able to get the most out of the area’s recreation, as well as time to check out all the cultural hot spots. “Telluride offers countless opportunities to fit in a little fitness with a lot of fun,” Gruszynski said. “You can downhill mountain bike with the help of the free gondola, and hike trails to explore the vibrant colors of the fall mixed with the rushing waterfalls surrounding town.” Right from The Peaks, you can mountain bike the Jurassic Trail, or man-power your way into town by the Boomerang to Valley Floor route. Take the gondola up to the St. Sophia station to hit Prospect Trail, a ten mile intermediate traverse over rolling singletrack. If you don’t have a bike, there are plenty of outfitters available for rentals, and hiking is a great option and accessible on most of the trails. Bear Creek Trail is a popular

local hike out of town, and is accessed from the end of South Pine Street. The 2.5 mile climb leads to upper Bear Creek Falls and connects to the Wasatch Trail and Bridal Veil Basin. This time of year, the fall colors on all these trails will be bursting. www.visittelluride. com/things-to-do/trails-huts “Telluride’s box canyon creates a backdrop unlike any other for Gold Season,” said Kiera Skinner, Telluride Tourism Board director of marketing and public relations. “You are literally surrounded on all sides by gold, red and orange as the colors change through the valley.”

GAY MARRIAGE’S COLORADO ROOTS ‘LIMITED PARTNERSHIP’ FOLLOWS ONE COUPLE’S 40-YEAR FIGHT FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY by ANDREW TRAVERS

Richard Adams and Tony Sullivan’s marriage certificate was one of six for same-sex couples issued in Boulder County in 1975.

IN APRIL 1975, Clela Rorex, a young and recently elected Boulder Country clerk and recorder, began issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. She would marry six couples before a state attorney general’s order stopped her. One of those couples, Richard Adams and Tony Sullivan, are the subject of the new documentary, “Limited Partnership,” which screens Sunday at Aspen Filmfest. Rorex, 31 and just a few months into her first term, had become active in the feminist movement in the early ’70s. Her activism on behalf of women informed her historic decision, but she hadn’t previously been involved with the burgeoning fight for gay rights. “At the time I didn’t know any gay couples,” Rorex says in the film. “I was faced with a profound moral issue of, would I discriminate against a couple of the same sex?” She consulted Boulder’s district attorney, who found nothing in Colorado’s state law barring same sex couples from marrying. A media circus soon descended on Rorex and the couples. One local man came to her, in response, asking for a license to marry his horse (Rorex denied it, because the 8-year-old mare, Dolly, was underage) and Johnny Carson used it as monologue fodder on “The Tonight Show. “I was naïve about the degree of animosity that emerged,” says Rorex. History repeated itself earlier this year, as current Boulder County clerk Hillary Hall began issuing same-sex marriage licenses despite a state ban, with her efforts legally halted by the attorney general and state Supreme Court. When Rorex issued her marriage licenses in 1974, there was no national debate about marriage equality and no precedent, there were just two men seeking to make their bond official. “She didn’t want to be a hero — she just did it out of her own moral compass,” Thomas Miller, director of “Limited Partnership,” said in an interview. “I don’t think she knew what it was going to entail, but that was her character. Then she really got it from all sides.” While Colorado’s brief period of marriage equality ended with the attorney general’s ban,

“BECAUSE THEY GOT TOGETHER IN THE EARLY ’70S, JUST A FEW YEARS BEFORE THE GAY AND LESBIAN MOVEMENT STARTED, YOU CAN SEE THE WHOLE MARRIAGE EQUALITY MOVEMENT, THE WHOLE IMMIGRATION MOVEMENT, AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THE UNITED STATES CHANGED AS YOU WATCH THEIR RELATIONSHIP... I DIDN’T WANT TO BE GIVING A HISTORY LESSON. BUT IT BECAME NATURAL THAT YOU WOULD SEE WHAT SHAPED THE COUNTRY AS YOU WATCH THIS RELATIONSHIP.” – THOMAS MILLER, DIRECTOR OF “LIMITED PARTNERSHIP”

Adams and Sullivan’s marriage on April 21, 1975 in Boulder began a four-decade crusade by the couple for equal rights. Sullivan and Adams got their marriage license in the morning, exchanged vows at a Unitarian church, consummated their union in private - which Sullivan jokingly calls “the shot heard round the world” in the film - then the newlyweds held a press conference. They would stand in front of reporters and microphones often in the years to come, fighting for federal recognition of their marriage and for Sullivan, an Australian, to be granted U.S. citizenship as Adams’ husband. The couple met on Cinco de Mayo 1971 in a Los Angeles gay bar called The Closet, when Sullivan, then 29, was on an around-the-world trip. “I had no plans to stay in the U.S. and no plan to fall in love,” Sullivan says in the film. On their first date, they went to see Greta Garbo’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and over the next four years they forged a devoted partnership. Sullivan stayed in the U.S., crossing the border to Mexico regularly to get his passport stamped and keep it current. When they got word of Rorex’s marriages in Colorado, they came to Boulder and got hitched, though the marriage – and Sullivan’s immigration status — was soon sent into legal limbo by the attorney general’s decision nullifying Rorex’s same-sex licenses. Returning to Los Angeles, the couple applied for a green card for Sullivan. The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service denied the request in a letter that concluded the couple “failed to establish that a bona fide marital relationship can exist between two faggots.” The use of a hateful pejorative in an official government document shocked the couple, and perhaps motivated them to fight harder against discrimination. “I had never thought of anyone in government using ‘faggot’ or ‘poof ’ or queer,’” Sullivan says in the documentary. “I thought government had more dignity than that.” They appealed the decision, and drew support from the gay community and some faith-based leaders who were appalled by the tenor of the government’s decision, but lost in fights all the way up

to the U.S. Court of Appeals in a 1982 case. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear their case. Ironically, Judge Anthony M. Kennedy — who would later be appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court and cast the decisive vote overturning the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013 – wrote the 1982 Court of Appeals decision denying Sullivan the right of citizenship as Adams’ husband. “Judge Kennedy’s decision essentially ended Tony and Richard’s legal strategy and left Tony with 60 days to leave the United States,” Lavi Soloway, the couple’s immigration attorney, says in “Limited Partnership.” Sullivan’s family in Australia had disowned him because of his homosexuality, and the country denied a visa request for his return, making Sullivan a man without a country. When Sullivan was deported, the couple spent time in Europe before deciding to smuggle Sullivan back into the U.S. and live illegally in Los Angeles. He and Adams fought on in the court of public opinion through the mid-80s, with appearances on “The Phil Donohue Show,” “Today” and elsewhere, but made little headway. “I started to get very disillusioned because I didn’t realize how much hatred there was out there,” Adams says in the film. The passage of time is a powerful force in the film as it follows the couple from their 20s into their 60s. You watch Sullivan and Adams grow older through the decades — at press conferences

and on courthouse steps in the 70s and 80s, and in interviews from the recent years – continually pledging their devotion to one another, and to their fight for equal rights. The film shows both men beset by health issues and struggling with old age in the mid-2000s. With their love story at its center, “Limited Partnership” becomes less a polemic about gay marriage and more a universal tale about devotion through good times and bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. “What got us through was our relationship,” says Sullivan. “It was our need to live for each other.” The film uses an animated timeline covering 1971 to 2014, track the historic national changes over the period of Sullivan and Adams’ relationship. It effectively demonstrates the seismic changes for marriage rights in just the last few years, and the tectonic shift from the INS “faggots” letter in 1975 to President Obama’s second inaugural in 2013, where he referenced the Stonewall riots as a civil rights touchstone and declared, “Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law.” But the story is grounded in the affecting love story at its center. “Because they got together in the early ‘70s, just a few years before the gay and lesbian movement started, you can see the whole marriage equality

movement, the whole immigration movement, and you can see how the United States changed as you watch their relationship,” said Miller. “I didn’t want to be giving a history lesson. But it became natural that you would see what shaped the country as you watch this relationship.”

Miller moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1990s to attend film school, and found many of his gay friends there were in bi-national relationships. Many, like Sullivan and Adams, struggled against federal immigration laws that did not permit gay foreigners the same rights of citizenship granted to

Look for continuing coverage in the Aspen Times Weekend section on Friday, Sept. 26 and throughout the festival.

Now in its 35th year, the Aspen Filmfest lineup includes feature films, documentaries and foreign offerings. Along with “Limited Partnership,” Sunday night offers a sort of LGBT double feature, with “The Imitation Game,” a highly touted drama starting Benjamin Cumberbach and Keira Knightley about a World War Two codebreaker who is subjected to England’s anti-gay laws. Other highlights include the Reese Witherspoon drama “The Good Lie,” the romantic comedy documentary “Meet the Patels,” playwright Israel Horovitz’s directorial debut, “My Old Lady,” and director Jason Reitman’s latest: “Men, Women & Children,” along with three surprise film screenings. Reitman and Oscar-winning documentarian Daniel Junge are among the guests coming to town for panels and audience Q&A sessions.

“I WAS NEVER FEARFUL OF IT... ONE OF THE REASONS I STARTED IT WAS THAT I KNEW DOCUMENTARIES COULD CHANGE LIVES, AND PERSONAL STORIES CAN CHANGE LIVES. … IT’S A VERY EMOTIONAL STORY AND PEOPLE ARE TOUCHED BY IT. THAT MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY. HOPEFULLY IT’S PART OF THIS FINAL CONVERSATION IN STOPPING OUR COUNTRY FROM DISCRIMINATING AGAINST GAYS AND LESBIANS.” – THOMAS MILLER, DIRECTOR OF “LIMITED PARTNERSHIP”

straights who married Americans. “I started doing some research and I found this was a problem that was affecting tens of thousands of gay bi-national couples,” Miller explained. “So I started trying to find couples to follow. In that research, I found Richard and Tony’s story.” Miller started filming what would become “Limited Partnership” in 2001. Sullivan and Adams were living underground at the time, staying out of the public eye for fear of Sullivan being deported again. Miller persuaded them to take part in the film to provide historical context. “Through the course of the next three years, most of those other couples broke up because it was so difficult being in that kind of relationship,” Miller said. “I felt hopeless and put the film away and started working on other projects, but I would periodically check in with Richard and Tony.” As the Bush administration was coming to a close in 2008, Miller found some new funding for the film, and Sullivan and Adams – spurred on by the passage of California’s Proposition 8 that year, banning gay marriage - were coming out of hiding and speaking out publically about marriage equality. Sullivan refers to it as coming out of the “immigration closet” in the film. “It rekindled their activist spirit,” said Miller. “Also, as Tony once said, ‘What more can they do to us? They’ve already been doing this for so many years.’ So they decided to speak out.” Miller picked up the film again full-time, and ended up following Sullivan and Adams through the historic turning of the national tide on gay marriage, through the Proposition 8 fight in California, the wave of gay

marriage judicial and electoral victories across the U.S. and the Supreme Court’s 2013 decision overturning the Defense of Marriage Act. The high court’s decision recognizing gay marriage also allowed for married binational gay couples to petition to have foreigners to become citizens, effectively ending the fights for legal status for foreigners like Sullivan. Sullivan, now 72, is expected to attend the Aspen Filmfest screening on Sunday, but due to a late twist in “Limited Partnership” that I won’t give away here, his immigration status remains invalid. “Limited Partnership” premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival in June, and has won several awards on its festival run this summer. It will screen as part of PBS’s “Independent Lens” series next year, with concurrent community outreach programs in schools and libraries across the U.S. from the public television organization. The film places Miller in the crosshairs of the two most divisive political issues in the current American culture wars: immigration and gay marriage. But he is undaunted by the controversy and criticism it invites. “I was never fearful of it,” he said. “One of the reasons I started it was that I knew documentaries could change lives, and personal stories can change lives. … It’s a very emotional story and people are touched by it. That makes me really happy. Hopefully it’s part of this final conversation in stopping our country from discriminating against gays and lesbians.” atravers@aspentimes.com

Sam is 3 yr old lab mix who is a very sweet dog, loves playing at the dog park, is good on a leash and loves long sniff-n-stroll walks. Like a typical lab he loves to play in the water. He doesn’t chew or bark but sometimes likes to dig when at the park. Sam needs a calm owner who will give him confidence and make him feel safe. He is very afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks and would really like to have a place to hide when it’s loud outside. He knows basic obedience commands (sit, heel, leave it, come), but needs someone to keep working with him. He is calm indoors but would surely love a yard (he is currently living in an apartment). Sam is fully housetrained, not destructive when left alone and does not like being crated. He is about 45 pounds, a great size! If you would like to give Sam a life of love and adventure, please first fill out an Adoption Application on www.luckydayrescue.org or call Jen at 970-948-5757. LUCKY DAY ANIMAL RESCUE OF COLORADO

Does the Applicant intend to change a water right to provide a source of augmentation? No. Complete statement of plan for augmentation and exchange. Applicant is the owner of the real property described in Exhibit “D” attached to the Application and on file with the Court, consisting of 4.701 acres (the “Property”). The Property contains an existing single family residence and the Applicant is currently constructing a 25,000 square foot greenhouse building. The greenhouse will be used to grow approximately 2,000 marijuana plants. Water uses inside the greenhouse facility include irrigation, an evaporative cooling system, three toilets, three bathroom room sinks, four hand/utility sinks, and a washing machine. In the future, Applicant intends to enlarge the greenhouse facility to a maximum of 37,500 square feet for up to 3,000 plants. The greenhouse enlargement will consist only of additional irrigation. The number of bathrooms, sinks and washing machines will not be increased when the greenhouse is enlarged and evaporative cooling has been calculated for full build-out. Water for the single family home and all greenhouse uses will be supplied by the HVF Well and wastewater will be treated with non-evapotranspirative sewage disposal systems. The projected annual gross water requirement for the Property is currently 2.32 acre-feet and 2.89 acre-feet at full build-out. This projection is based on the following: 2,000 plants in 25,000 square feet of greenhouse space at 1,000 gallons per day for irrigation (see Table 1: Monthly Water Demand - Irrigation); Expansion in the future to 3,000 plants in 37,500 square feet of greenhouse space at 1,500 gallons per day for irrigation (see Table 1); Average domestic use of 350 gallons per day for residential demand; Maximum cooling system demand based on 344 gallons per hour and a maximum daily use of four hours (see Table 2: Monthly Water Demand – Cooling System); and Ten employees using a total of 362 gallons per day (see Table 3: Monthly Water Demand – In-house). The gross annual water requirements for current and full build-out distributed monthly are shown on Table 4: Total Demands – Initial & Full Build-out. The projected annual consumptive use of water at current development levels is estimated to be 1.65 acre-feet and at full build-out, 2.22 acre-feet. These consumptive use calculations are based upon the following: Gross annual water requirement of 2.32 acre-feet for the current development; Gross annual water requirement of 2.89 acre-feet at full build-out; Up to 1.14 acrefeet of consumptive use for the irrigation of 2,000 plants in 25,000 square feet of greenhouse space, which is one hundred percent consumptive; Up to 1.71 acre-feet of consumptive use for the irrigation of 3,000 plants in 37,500 square feet of greenhouse space, which is one hundred percent consumptive; Up to 0.38 acre-feet of consumptive use for the cooling system at full build-out, which is 100% consumptive; and 15 percent of the 0.80 acre-feet used for in-house purposes will be consumptively used, resulting in annual depletions of 0.12 acre-feet. The consumptive use for current and full build-out distributed monthly are shown on Table 5: Total Depletions – Initial & Full Build-out. Ninety-five percent of all depletions will occur in the month in which the water is pumped. Only five percent of depletions will be lagged into the next month. The Glover analysis was based upon the following aquifer parameters: transmissivity of 100,000 gpd/ft.; specific yield of 0.2; and a distance from the well to the river of 100 feet. The Applicant proposes to replace out-of-priority depletions on account of HVF Well pumping at times of a valid senior call by means of this plan for augmentation. Applicant currently has three sources of augmentation water: (1) A pending Water Supply Contract from the River District to utilize water from the Wolford Mountain Reservoir; (2) A Water Allotment Contract with the BWCD to utilize Troy and Edith Ditch consumptive use credits; and (3) the HVF Storage Tanks. Augmentation water will be released from one or more of these augmentation supplies depending on the timing and source of the senior call. Augmentation of the HVF Well using water rights available by contract from BWCD or the River District will be accomplished by exercise of the appropriative right of exchange described above under the FIFTH CLAIM. Roaring Fork River calls will be supplied with augmentation water from either the HVF Storage Tanks or the BWCD Troy and Edith Ditch consumptive use credits. Because the consumptive use credits are only available during the months of May through September, the HVF Storage Tanks will be used to provide water during the months of March, April and October. The HVF Storage Tanks can also be used to satisfy an in-stream flow call. Wolford Mountain Reservoir water or the HVF Storage Tanks will be used for Colorado River calls during the months of April and October. The monthly out-of-priority depletions and augmentation releases for current and full build-out are shown on Table 6: Out-of Priority Depletions/Initial & Full Build-out/Dry-Year Scenario. Pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 24.F. of the Decree in Case No. 10CW305, In Re the Application of the Board of County Commissioners, Pitkin County, Colorado, Applicant shall be entitled to operate the HVF Well, the HVF Pump and Pipeline and HVF Storage Tanks diversions in the amount of 2.22 acre-feet per year as senior to the Recreational In-Channel Diversion decreed therein. Tables 1 through 6 are included within the Application that is on file with the Water Court. The Tables may be modified and the water contract amounts identified above may be increased or decreased as this case proceeds through Water Court. No injury. No owner or person entitled to use water under a vested water right or a decreed conditional water right will be injured by the approval of the plan for augmentation and exchange. Name and address of owner or reputed owner of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: Applicant.

Ct.; Nellie Bird Ditch Enlargement: Division 5, 93CW77; Augmentation Plan: Division 5, 93CW78B. Legal description: 3.A., above. Source: Roaring Fork River. Appropriation Date: Original, June 9, 1885. Total amount originally decreed to structure: 3.94 cfs. Originally decreed uses: Irrigation (CA 3082). Amount to be changed: up to 2.65 cfs of original appropriation. Description of proposed change: Applicant requests to change the place of use for a portion of the Nellie Bird Ditch water right to irrigate Enlargement Irrigation areas described in First Claim, to fill and re-fill Skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pond and Stillwater Reserve Pond for subsequent use and to provide freshening flows to Stillwater Pond, Skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pond, and the Stillwater Reserve Pond. The above-described changes are collectively referred to in this Claim as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Uses.â&#x20AC;? The New Uses are in addition to and not to the exclusion of the previously decreed uses. Operation. Applicant will operate its Nellie Bird Ditch senior right according to its CA 3082 decreed use and the augmentation plan in 93CW78B at the outset of each irrigation season. The changes applied for herein will only operate during times of a local call that is being administered between the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan Rivers confluence and the points of diversion for the Nellie Bird Ditch, Second Enlargement, Nellie Bird Ditch, Third Enlargement, and Nellie Bird Ditch Fourth Enlargement water rights that would cause curtailment of those enlargement water rights, the Skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pond water right, and/or the Stillwater Reserve Pond water right. To offset New Uses depletions for such a call, Applicant will dry-up historically irrigated lands. Dry Up. The Nellie Bird Ditch water right historically irrigated 20.5 acres of lands for which Applicant owns the water rights (the Historically Irrigated Area). Map on file. During times when there is no call on the river that would cause curtailment of the enlargement and pond rights applied for, Applicant will irrigate the Historically Irrigated Area with the senior Nellie Bird Ditch water right. When a call is administered causing curtailment of such, Applicant will divert a portion of the senior Nellie Bird Ditch water right to the New Uses and offset the out-of-priority depletions by taking credit for dry-up. Applicant will cease irrigating and temporarily dry up, on a seasonal basis, a portion of the Historically Irrigated Area in an amount together with already permanently dried up area, sufficient to offset such depletions. Enlargement Irrigation. Applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consulting engineer calculated the depletions caused by the Enlargement Irrigation as shown in the table on file. Skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pond and Stillwater Reserve Pond. Initial filling will occur during times of free river. For re-filling, Applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consulting engineer calculated the evaporation from Skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pond and Stillwater Reserve Pond as shown in the table on file with the court.

BOOK REVIEW

‘THE BULLY OF ORDER’ BRIAN HART’S NEW NOVEL, “The Bully of Order,” possesses a strange magnetism. At times, it’s disturbing, even repulsive, with its graphic violence and crude characters — and yet it’s irresistible, multilayered plotline will tug you all the way through a story that captures the gritty lawlessness of the Northwest’s beginnings. Set in a turn-of-the century town in Washington state known simply as “The Harbor,” “The Bully of Order” delves into the plight of the Ellstrom family, who begin the story as hopeful newcomers amid a desperate population of sailors, crooks, prostitutes and sawmill laborers. A young idealist with an itch for adventure, Jacob Ellstrom comes to the Harbor from the Midwest, accompanied by his new wife, Nell, and equipped with a medical kit and dreams of becoming a successful doctor. But Jacob lacks formal by MICHAEL ASHLEY / edited by WILL SHORTZ

Then, just when reconciliation seems possible, Jacob becomes complicit in an act of violence that compels him to leave the Harbor, and his family, for good.
