THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
by ANDREW TRAVERS
PARTY GROWN-UPS ARGUABLY HAVE MORE FUN than kids on Halloween in Aspen. Like mountain closing days, it’s an excuse to aggressively dress up and bounce around town. It’s also become the fall offseason’s biggest social happening for Aspenites — what other night of the year can you bar-hop in reveling throngs entirely made up of your friends and neighbors? Even the members-only Caribou Club opens its doors to commoners for the night, welcoming the unwashed masses of locals and ski bums for its once-a-year Halloween throw-down. At Justice Snow’s, DJ Echo Dafunk plays a free show for a super hero-themed night at the bar in the Wheeler Opera House. Ground zero for Halloween action in recent years has been Belly Up’s annual costume contest. This year, the awesomely over-the-top ’80s cover band Danger Kitty returns to the club to play the party. These sleazy, spandex-clad Los Angeles glam metal rockers — who headlined the Halloween party two years ago — will rip through ’80s classics and host the costume contest, for which first prize is $500 cash. Second place wins you a $250 gift certificate to Matsuhisa, and third place earns $250 in Belly Up concert tickets. Doors open at 9 p.m. Tickets are $20 for general admission and $35 for reserved seats, available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen.com
The over-the-top ’80s cover band Danger Kitty will play Belly Up’s “Dead or Alive” Halloween Party on Friday, Oct. 31.
CURRENTEVENTS THEATER
California’s The Airborne Toxic Event will play Belly Up Aspen on Wednesday, Nov. 5.
Longtime local actor Lee Sullivan gives his final Aspen performance in Hudson Reed Ensemble’s “Betrayal.” The play opens Thursday at the Rio Grande Room.
THE HUDSON REED ENSEMBLE stages Harold Pinter’s “Betrayal” in the Rio Grande Room for a fall run, opening Thursday Oct. 30. This production of Pinter’s award-winning masterwork of love and infidelity stars local actors Nikki Boxer, Franz Alderfer and Travis Andrews, with longtime Aspen-based character actor Lee Sullivan giving his last local performance (more on that in the Oct. 31 issue of The Aspen Times). The show runs through Nov. 9. Tickets are $20 at the door and at www.hudsonreedensemble.org.
POPULAR MUSIC CALIFORNIA INDIE ROCK BAND The Airborne Toxic Event comes to town on Wednesday, Nov. 5 for a show that promises to be an offseason highlight for live music fans in Aspen. The band, led by singer Mike Jollett, plays a thoughtful, violin-infused mix of guitar rock. The concert is scheduled for 9 p.m. Tickets are $25, available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen.com

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
with JOHN COLSON
From a corner, maybe, she’ll wink her farewell AS THE BAND Canned Heat once sang, here we are “on the road again,” hanging out in Madison, Wisc., to stage a celebration of the life of my late sister, Ruth, appropriately enough on the day after Halloween, which was her favorite holiday of the year. Just as appropriate is the fact that Nov. 1 is the day the Welsh observe their version of All Hallows Ee’en, to celebrate the end of the harvest season on what is known as Calan Graef. This is fitting because one of the most interesting years of her life was 1971-72, when Ruth lived in Wales while our father put in a year teaching as a library sciences professor at the University College of Wales in the village of Aberystwyth, and because our family lore has it that we are partially of Welsh descent. Aber, as the locals call Aberystwyth, is on the western coast of Wales, just little south of the Snowdonia national park, which is where Merlin the Wizard met the future King Arthur, according to the legends. The weekend also happens to mark the Gaelic celebration of Samhain (pronounced sow-in), which is a lot like Calan Graef, only different, and which in Ireland and Scotland was celebrated from sunset on Oct. 31 through sunset on Nov. 1. Both of these celebratory dates, historically speaking, were in honor of the end of harvest times and of friends gone by; were pagan in nature; and thus preceded the Roman invasion of Britain by a considerable length of time. Now that our historical bona fides are firmly set, we can move on. We opted for the day after the holiday for the simple reason that nobody wants to leave their house dark and unguarded on that night of spooks and goblins, as you never know what might happen in the absence of adult supervision. And it will be mostly adults at the celebration — we’ve been calling it a “wake” even though it’s not, strictly speaking, as there will be no body to hearken to our farewell toasts — though there undoubtedly will be a smattering of tykes running around and through the legs of their elders. The celebration is to be held at a joint called Alt ‘n’ Bachs Town Tap on the south side of town (2602 Whalen Lane, if you’d like to drop by), a sports bar today but which once was a prime example of the old-fashioned Wisconsin supper club. The venue was chosen by Ruth not
long before she died, largely because of its past association with a storied tradition in the state where she was born. I Googled the phrase, “Wisconsin’s supper club tradition,” and the first hit was a place called the HobNob in Racine, south of Milwaukee, an image of which graced the HarleyDavidson parts catalogue of 2011 in homage to the once-proud reign of supper clubs throughout the state. Supper clubs, for the uninitiated, were open only for supper, often featured a local band playing dance music for the patrons, and typically offering entrees that would more than satisfy even the stoutest, hungriest appetite, nearly naked iceburg lettuce for the salad, and a sip of Old Fashioned (a favorite of Ruth’s) either before supper, afterward, or both. I have to say that Wisconsin is a place where appetites achieve legendary status, and where supper clubs vied for dominance in meeting the gastronomical needs of their clientele. For instance, the menu at HobNob’s boasts a 24-ounce New York strip sirloin, which in other places would be sufficient to feed a family of four. Anyways, Ruth was a manic history buff, and she told me about Alt ‘n’ Bach’s during a long conversation last summer, as she waited for the end to come. We spoke of how the world once was not so hurried and harried, back when supper clubs gave families a home away from home where grandparents and grandkids could get goofy and then get sleepy together. It’s a cultural thing, to be sure, and one that sadly has all but disappeared. It’s appropriate that we meet on Samhain, or Calan Graef, to celebrate Ruth’s time with us. They say that in ancient times the celebrants would light ritual fires and offer up kind thoughts to the spirits, whom were believed to be closer to the physical world on those special nights, even visiting their former homes and haunts for a last look around. Maybe, that night, I’ll catch a glimpse of Ruth’s spirit, her Aos Si or fairy persona, out of the corner of my eye as I raise my glass to the fine times we had when she was here and hum a tune she loved. If it could be so, I hope beyond hope her ghostly eye will wink at me one last time, to let me know that she’s OK.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES
FROM the VAULT
by TIM WILLOUGHBY
Aspen had two brass bands in 1885.
1885: A BOOMTOWN YEAR
Aspen surged with success several times in history and notably
in 1885. The town had grown from zero to 5,500 optimistic opportunists in just five years. An argument arose over ownership of a major silver vein and the resulting lawsuit eventually crippled several major mines. However, neighboring owners preferred mining to fighting. They took in nearly $700,000 daily in today’s dollars. One report noted that 40 four-horse teams hauled ore over Independence Pass. Another report said 500 pack animals plus 800 draft animals heaved freight into and out of Aspen. The year 1885 was also the year the Aspen Electric Light Company powered 40 downtown businesses, a milestone not yet attained by many larger American cities. That same year the first mine tram climbed Aspen Mountain. The Aspen Daily Times promoted Aspen as “the metropolis of the Pacific Slope in Colorado,” surveyed the community, and published an eyebrow-raising list of Aspen’s assets. The list further defined “boomtown” with data that fleshed out the figure of rapid population growth. More than 115 categories outlined the community. Men outnumbered women and the report said there were “1500 men hankering for wives and only one old maid who is marriageable.” Men frequented one brewery, one cigar manufacturer, two bath houses, four wholesale liquor houses, five billiard

halls, six barber shops, 10 laundries, 10 cigar stores, 18 sporting houses, and 26 saloons. A more family-oriented city than most mining towns, Aspen offered
society. Entertainment facilities for men and women included an opera house, skating rink, dance hall, and a variety theater. Gilbert and Sullivan premiered “The

Mikado” in 1885, when Aspen residents boasted of five music teachers and two brass bands. Five teachers taught 400 students in Aspen’s schools. A choice of food outlets satisfied every hunger. Five lunch stands, eight restaurants, five dairymen, one soda water manufacturer, three grain
and produce houses, four bakeries, three fruit stands, four ice houses to keep food cold, five meat markets, and 10 grocery stores attested to the appetites of mountain folk. If something you ate sickened you, three pharmacies and eight doctors tended your ailments. Horses got hungry too; they lined up at five feed stables and three livery stables. Other facilities fulfilled miscellaneous needs. Hiking through town you would pass a gun shop, an undertaker, a telephone exchange, an express office, a bank, two photography shops, one daily and two weekly newspaper offices, three book/ newsstands, three hardware stores, and three water delivery wagons. A few businesses attested to the predominant mining and building trades: six assay shops, three steam-powered planing mills, a foundry, a machine shop, a brick yard, two lumber yards, and three paint stores. The counts of a few businesses in 1885 resemble those of today: 16 hotels, 31 lawyers and five real estate offices. In today’s dollars, one downtown lot that was purchased for $1,600 in 1880 sold for $60,000 in 1885. The boom was on.
Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective. Reach him at redmtn2@ comcast.net.

1897 UTE CEMETERY
“A VERY CLOSE CALL — powder house collapses near the old cemetery,” noted an article in the Aspen Daily Times on June 1, 1897. “For a second time, the people of Aspen have escaped a terrible calamity. The powder house, wherein is stored 60 tons of giant powder, and which is situated about 200 feet from the old cemetery in Ute, collapsed yesterday. The sides and front fell down and the roof sagged in the middle, causing the boxes containing dynamite to fall down, the top ones rolling and tumbling down over the others and spilling the giant powder around promiscuously. Fortunately the concussion did not explode the powder, though why it did not explode is a mystery no one can fathom. The Decoration Day exercises had concluded at the cemetery and the procession had started for town when the building collapsed. John McNeill was among the last to leave and he was locking the gates of the cemetery when the accident happened. Had the powder exploded he would have been blown to atoms and a large number of the people in the procession would also have been killed.” The photo above shows the powder house, near the Ute Cemetery. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK
by STEPHEN REGENOLD
GET PHAT: FRAMED FAT-BIKE FAMILY
FAT BIKES CAME ON MY RADAR in 2005, back when the big-tire bicycles were esoteric and custom-made. I rode one in the snow that winter and everyone gave me weird looks. Today, the fat-bike genre is mainstream. There are dozens of companies that make gear in the category for riders looking to cruise and better “float” with bulbous tires in sand and snow. Even children get fat bikes now. Framed Bike Company this fall released a literal family of fat bikes —for mom, dad, and kids. Framed is a St Paul-based brand, and for its kid bike offering it adopted the geographically-appropriate name of Mini-Sota. Moms and dads are steered toward the Minnesota 2.0, which comes in men’s- and women’s-specific builds. To test this fleet out I got a family of Framed bikes for my own family to demo. I put helmets on my 7- and 9-year-olds and gave them a Mini-Sota to ride. An audible “woo-hoo” came from my son, age 7, after three pedal strokes down the sidewalk. The 4-inch-wide tires hummed loudly on cement as he rolled away. I rode the men’s Minnesota 2.0. We didn’t have snow, but instead we let some air out of the tires and set out on an urban session in search of obstacles only a fat bike could ride. A local park provided a steep paved embankment and a set of stairs. I pedaled to
the edge of the steps and floated down, a bumpy ride that was absorbed by the bike’s massive rubber. My kids dabbled on curb-drops and small jumps, which are stunts they don’t try on their regular cruisers. The fat bikes inspire confidence over skinny-tire models, and they feel like “monster trucks,” my kids reported. The following night I joined a friend for a mountain bike race. My Framed fatty, at 33 pounds, was exactly 10 pounds heavier than my bud’s mountain bike — this is a significant gap. But despite the weight it was surprisingly fast in the race. Once the big wheels get rolling they are hard to stop. On singletrack dirt they spin and crush over logs, rocks, roots, and almost anything else without a blink. Suspension is not necessary for many trails with fat tires, which can be run at a low air pressure to absorb obstacles. Hills are hard, however. The added weight of the bike let my buddy easily school me on any incline, where moving the fat-bike mass against gravity is a chore. The extra girth, however, felt unstoppable on big downhills, and the bike rode much faster than anticipated on flat sections of the trail. Framed (www.framedbikes.com) made
a few key upgrades to its fat family this year. The 2015 line, which came to market this month, has better components, new tire models, a lighter frame, new pedals, and more. All our tested bikes had aluminumalloy frames with matte paint and simple graphics. Flair came from anodized color rims and matching components on the seatpost and stem. Framed, like many fat-bike companies today, makes its line for riding in snow, sand, dirt, mud, and even in the city for cruising around. The fat category is more approachable than ever, and I encourage you to try a big-tire bike this year for a new type of fun. Finally, Framed makes its bikes for all budgets. Fat bikes often cost $2,000 and up. But the kid’s model from Framed is $600, and the men’s and women’s bikes are $899 each, letting you experience the joy of fat riding more affordably than before.

WINEINK
A SAVVY SEASON I HAVE A LOT OF SAVVY. That would be Sauvignon Blanc. As I looked through my wine rack recently I found that there were at least a dozen bottles of wine made from the flavorful green grape that I have yet to consume. And this summer I may have opened more of this food-friendly, easy-to-drink varietal than ever before. To me, the charm of KELLY J. HAYES Sauvignon Blanc is the floral nature of what escapes from the glass when I get my first solid whiff. The fruits, the grass, the fresh flavors that it emits always make me go “Hmmm.” But beyond the aromas is the crisp, clean mouth-feel that a well-made Savvy imparts. Its high acidity makes it a perfect accompaniment to many foods, especially seafood and shellfish. I especially enjoy the wines when Laura Werlin, my friend (and our locally based cheese guru), finds a cheese that takes full advantage of that acid in a steely Savvy. Say, a Humboldt Fog goat cheese paired with a stony 2012 Cuvaison Betón Sauvignon Blanc that has been produced in the confines of the womb-like concrete egg. Hmmm. While I am not one of them, there are of course some who simply don’t like the steely nature of the wine, who find the vegetal character of some offerings a bit too green. Or feel that the lack of oak that is a hallmark of most Sauvignon Blanc produced today does not provide enough texture to the wine, leaving it thin and, well, a touch harsh. But one of the things that makes Sauvignon Blanc so interesting is that it is a grape that picks up many of the elements of the terroir from which it hails. It can reflect the flinty nature of the soil in which the vines are planted. It can take on the character of the green grass that surrounds it. And it can pick up the flavors of tropical fruits that inhabit the same sunny regions

where the grapes are grown. And Sauvignon Blanc travels extremely well. You can find excellent examples of wines made from the grape in many of the world’s most hospitable wine regions. Begin with the great, but somewhat austere, Sancerre from France, move onto the herbaceous examples from New Zealand, and come home to the more fruitforward, Sonoma-based beauties. The origins of the grape originate in the vineyards of Bordeaux in southwest France. “Wild white,” or sauvage blanc, is what it was known as because the indigenous vines grew with vigor everywhere they were planted. The first Savvy came to America in the late 1880s and it has thrived in the sunny climate of both the Napa Valley and the Central Coast. And in the early 1990s, Cloudy Bay, a winemaker in the Marlborough region of New Zealand, revolutionized the grape’s popularity when it introduced a grassy, fruit-forward style of Sauvignon Blanc to the world. In addition to introducing American palates to a unique flavor profile, Cloudy Bay also moved the perception of New Zealand wines globally to a new level. Not only is Sauvignon Blanc a global grape, but increasingly it is a wine that can be counted on nearly year-round to enhance a meal. There has long been the notion that, like wearing white once the summer months come to a close, it is time to put the steely Savvys back in the cellar and hold them until the seasons change once again. But more and more I find that, because of the pairing potential with lighter foods, Sauvignon Blanc is still being recommended by sommeliers and poured even after daylight saving time kicks in. One of the reasons I have so much Sauvignon Blanc is that just about everyone makes some of it. Not to say that it is an easy wine to make well, but if you have good fruit, you don’t have to do a lot to
O c tob e r 30 - No v e m b e r 5 , 20 14
vinify it. Basically press, and pour. There is generally not a lot of time spent in expensive wood. You don’t have to age and store it, so winemakers avoid the costs that are associated with such — and they can sell it once it is in bottle. Presto profit. It is not an expensive wine generally and it seems whenever I get a shipment from a winery of samples, a bottle or two of Savvy rounds out the package. Bottom line is I plan to be
opening my bottles of Savvy throughout the upcoming months, especially when I want a taste of summer this winter. Lucky me.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE BENZIGER 2012 NORTH COAST SAUVIGNON BLANC I can’t image a better bang for the buck than this $15 wine from one of my favorite Sonoma County producers. Aged in 100% stainless steel drums on the lees, it rocks the nose with the aromas of a flowery field. Crisp, lean and fresh, this wine reflects the character of both the grape and the vineyards from which it hails.

PLENTY OF HEALTHY, TASTY OPTIONS FOR PUMPKIN TREATS THIS HALLOWEEN SPICY-SWEET MOLE PUMPKIN SEED CLUSTERS Start to finish: 20 minutes, plus cooling Servings: 12
1/2 cup almond butter 1/2 cup honey 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less, to taste) 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 1 cup toasted pumpkin seeds 2 cups flaked corn cereal, lightly crushed
Line a rimmed baking sheet with waxed paper. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the almond butter, honey, cayenne, salt and cocoa powder. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the pumpkin seeds and cereal. Stir to combine, then transfer to the prepared pan. Using 2 spoons, separate the mixture into small clusters. Set aside to cool.
LIGHTENED PUMPKIN CRUNCH
Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes (plus cooling) Servings: 8
IT’S TRUE... Despite what the kids think, not all Halloween treats need to rot your teeth on contact. Which isn’t to say the goodies we’ve gathered here — a granola-like snack and a pumpkin pie — don’t have a sweet side. Rather, we decided to take a more balanced approach to our sugar rush. You know, just in case somebody over the age of 12 wanted some. Start with the spicy-sweet mole pumpkin seed clusters. Think of it as a savory-sweet granola that packs tons of addictive crunch and just a bit of heat (easily adjusted to your taste). It definitely has that potato chip-like can’t-stopshoving-it-in-your-face quality. Embrace it. And when comes to the holiday season in general, it just isn’t the same if I don’t stuff my face with pumpkin pie. There, I’ve said it. Judge if you must, but then read on to hear my secret for pumpkin dessert goodness with fewer calories and better nutrition. First, I make a pumpkin crunch instead of a pumpkin pie. Why? Because while I love the buttery flavor and satisfying texture the crust gives a pie, I’ve found I can scratch that itch (almost) as well with a cinnamon-laced buttery pecan topping. I make just enough to add the texture and

buttery goodness I’m looking for, but hold back just enough to make my waistline happy, too. Second, let’s about that pumpkin pie filling — creamy and unctuous, warmed with classic holiday spices. Perfection. Instead of relying on tons of cream and egg yolks for a smooth texture, I turn to a magical ingredient: silken tofu. Yes, tofu! But be sure to get the silken variety, which usually is sold on shelves, not in the refrigerated section with the Asian produce. Silken tofu brings the creamy with far less fat and fewer calories than cream, and it will thicken the custard beautifully in place of the eggs. As a bonus, the tofu also boosts the protein. I find that adding a little protein to my sweets keeps the sugar lows at bay. And the secret behind the secret: a few ounces of light cream cheese. The cream cheese not only adds to the creaminess of the filling, it also lends a slightly tangy flavor, which offsets the ever-so-slight soybean taste that might linger on overly perceptive tongues. (But truth is, my family never notices.) The recipe says this “pie” feeds eight, but that’s just a guideline; I fully support grabbing a spoonful from the leftovers every time you pass through the kitchen.
O c tob e r 30 - No v e m b e r 5 , 20 14
For the filling: 4 ounces light cream cheese (such as Neufchatel), softened 10-ounce package firm silken tofu, rinsed 15-ounce can pumpkin puree 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice blend 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt For the crunch topping: 1 graham cracker broken into pieces 1/4 cup rolled oats 1/4 cup pecans (halves or pieces) 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar 1 ⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small chunks
Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9- or 10-inch pie pan (or a 2 1/2-quart baking dish) with cooking spray. In a food processor, combine the cream cheese and tofu, then process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and salt, then process again. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie pan and bake for 30 minutes. While the filling bakes, prepare the crunch. Clean the food processor bowl, then in it combine the graham cracker, oats, pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon. Process with several 3-second pulses to reduce the mixture to a coarse meal with some larger chunks. Add the butter and process for another 5 to 10 seconds, or until well incorporated. After the filling has baked for 30 minutes, sprinkle the crunch topping evenly over it, then return to the oven for another 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature before slicing.

OUT OF THE CAN Let’s talk about one of the season’s most iconic vegetables — canned pumpkin. Yes, canned, because that’s how 99 percent of us get our pumpkin. Which is fine except for one thing — Americans overwhelmingly associate canned pumpkin with just one dish (pumpkin pie) and one day of the year (Thanksgiving). But canned pumpkin actually has all sorts of uses in the kitchen, no matter what the season. Pumpkin puree’s rich flavor and creamy sweetness work great in both sweet and savory dishes. While we are so busy topping our pies with whipped cream, we have forgotten what a nutritional bargain this bulbous squash actually is, packing tons of fiber and vitamins. And while it is naturally sweet, 1 cup has only about as much sugar as milk. One good part about canned pumpkin’s association with Thanksgiving... It often goes on sale this time of year. Since it stores so well, this is the time to stock up. (True story: I just used my final can of pumpkin from last fall this week in order to make today’s recipe.)
Some of my favorite uses for pumpkin puree include: • Stirring 1/2 cup into brownie or chocolate cake batter to add nutrients and moisture. • Adding 1/4 cup to smoothies for creaminess and vitamins. • Slimming down baked goods by swapping out part of the fat for pumpkin puree. • Whisking a bit into stews or chilies for added richness and depth. • Layering it with Greek yogurt, bananas, maple syrup and granola for a super-charged morning breakfast parfait. • Blending it with coffee, milk and spices for a homemade fall latte. And let’s not forget that pumpkin is, after all, a squash. Why not consider making a pumpkin puree soup? No laborious peeling and cubing needed! The sweet flavor pairs perfectly with spices, but feel free to use pumpkin puree in any of your favorite winter squash soup recipes.

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS
by ALISON LADMAN for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MAKE IT* Start to finish: 10 minutes, plus cooling Servings: 24 4 cups grape juice Two 20-ounce bags bittersweet chocolate bits 4 cups blueberry juice, chilled 2-liter bottle lemon-lime soda, chilled Shaved chocolate, to serve * Adult version: add light rum
LIQUID MUD PUNCH Why stop with candy when it comes to
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the grape juice to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate bits. Continue stirring until completely melted and smooth. Whisk in the blueberry juice, then refrigerate until completely chilled. In a large punch bowl, gently stir the chocolate juice mixture with the lemon-lime soda. Sprinkle with shaved chocolate just before serving.
Halloween treats? We suggest washing it all down with a spooky, muddy punch. Sure, it’s jammed with chocolate, but it tastes more fruity than sugary. We kept it simple — and it can be made nonalcoholic, in case you’re willing to share it with the kids. But after they go to bed, we suggest adding a healthy splash of light rum. 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
Not even cancer can kill the bond between father and daughter.
GRIEF: ONE YEAR LATER MY DAD PASSED AWAY on Oct. 27, 2013. I remember the day vividly. My siblings and I sat quietly around his bed in a hospice center in Pratt, Kansas, waiting for the inevitable. He had been fighting melanoma for almost four years. Even at the end he still had a fighting stance, with his fists clenched up, ready to take on whatever was coming next. Not a day goes BARBARA by that I don’t think PLATTS about my dad — his unshakable resolve, his optimistic charm and his talent to make friends with anyone in a matter of minutes. I think about him often, but this time of year, he consumes almost all of my thoughts, to the point where they’ve spilled out into my column. I’ve now gone a year of life without him, but I know I have many more to go. Anyone who has lost a loved one knows that the process of grieving never ends. It simply progresses. I’m still drenched in grief. In many ways, it has and will define my life. But, perhaps the strangest and most unexpected thing is, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Without the pain of his absence I could not properly remember the joy of his presence. Loss often feels like a doubleedged sword. It makes me nostalgic, yet grateful for the years I had. And it makes me absolutely furious, because it’s not fair and I just have to learn to deal with that. Many good things can grow out of loss. A great deal of love has PHOTO COURTESY GHETTY IMAGES
stemmed from my father’s death. Because of it, my siblings and I have become even closer. We make more of an effort to see each other and appreciate one another for who we are in the present moment. Strength grows out of loss, if you can let it. Often, awareness and motivation grow from loss as well. My friend Duncan Clauss lost his mother from brain cancer at roughly the same time last year. Since then, he’s been working with B Cured, an organization that’s main goal is to find a cure for brain cancer through research grants. This Sunday, Clauss is running the NYC marathon again as part of the B Cured team. This year’s race will get B Cured to a total of one million dollars raised since the organization was started in 2008. Clauss is a person who has taken the awful loss that he’s had and is actively trying to prevent others from going through the same thing. Find out more about his admirable efforts at crowdrise.com/duncanclauss and bcured.org. Death from a disease can be a catalyst for people to make things change in this world. But far too many deaths have occurred from cancer in this country. In the last 30 years, more Americans have had skin cancer than all other cancers combined, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. In 2014, there were an estimated 76,100 new cases and about 9,710 deaths. If we expand the scope to encompass all types of cancer, the National Cancer Institute states that there were 1,655,540 new cases this year and an estimated 585,720
deaths. These numbers aren’t just large, they’re astronomically obscene. Everybody is affected by cancer in some way. Even the staff at this paper has dealt with loss from it when our publisher, Gunilla Asher, died last June. At this point, the most popular cancer treatments — like chemotherapy and radiation — are archaic. My dad lost most of his ability to make saliva when he had radiation done on his throat nearly five years ago, making it difficult for him to eat much of anything. And that’s a minor consequence compared to what some people suffer under those types of treatments. Success has come from them, but we need something more promising. Many new immune system boosting drugs have entered the medical scene in experimental stages. Instead of weakening your immune system, these drugs help to strengthen it, giving your body a better chance to fight off the cancer. In the last year of my dad’s fight he was getting care from one of the best hospitals in the country, the Mayo Clinic. They had several ideas for trial drugs they wanted to give him, but he was too unhealthy to meet the testing requirements. The cancer kept spreading so they did not find him an adequate candidate for the studies. So the system works in such a way that the sickest people have no opportunity to get a hold of the newest kinds of experimental drugs? There’s something wrong with this picture. The Food and Drug Administration finally approved the
first of this type of drug, sold under the name Keytruda, to help fight off melanoma. They released it in September of this year — roughly 11 months after my father’s last breath. I can’t take out all of the frustrations from my dad’s death on the medical system. There are plenty of dedicated and passionate doctors out there who are tirelessly working to make the fight against cancer end with more successes. But, it’s important for me, and everyone, to be aware of the health care terrain in this country and to support and donate to the right types of foundations that put research as the top priority. One of the last days my dad was still lucid, a nurse came in and asked him some of the typical end-of-life questions. One was if they could use parts of his body for cancer research once he was gone. Without hesitation, my dad gave his answer. “Of course,” he said. “Use all of it. Use any of it. I want to do whatever I can to make sure other people never have to go through this hell.” Thanks Dad. For all you were and all you made me to be. You, and millions of others, will be missed endlessly. I appreciate you putting up such a long and admirable fight. To learn more about the research being done for cancer, and to help join the fight for a cure, check out the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center at mayo.edu and bcured.org. Patrick Platts was a rancher, beloved father and, frankly, a bonafide bad ass. Reach his daughter at bplatts.000@gmail.com or follow her on Twitter @BarbaraPlatts.

the
GHOSTS of ASPEN by KARL HERCHENROEDER
CITY RECORDS SHOW THAT A MAN named Colonel Kirby, suffering from “mountain fever” after a trip across the Red Mountain trail in 1880, was the first prospector to die in Aspen. He was buried at what would become Ute Cemetery, a plot of land that has seen Civil War heroes and other Aspen pioneers laid to rest. Kirby’s tale, along with many others, can be heard Saturday during the final cemetery tour of the year led by Dean Weiler, an expert of Aspen haunts, horrors and tragedies. Whether it’s an 1890s suicide drawing attention from traveling Spiritualists claiming connections to the beyond or a mail carrier on skis killed in an avalanche, Weiler narrates the story of early Aspen with his graveyard stroll. “All these stories, although I tell the life and the death of that person there, there’s something within that story that tells the larger part of history, of Aspen and our country at that time,” said Weiler, who also provides year-round walking tours that detail tales of ghosts, murder and mayhem in the downtown core.

There are 200 graves located at the Ute, and despite the name, there are no known Native Americans buried at the site. It does, however, include many miners. For example, Weiler tells the story of two miners buried side-by-side, who were killed in an avalanche on Aspen Mountain, where Spar Gulch meets Copper. “That taps into some of those dangers from early mining that you don’t really think about,” Weiler said. “Sure you get blown up by dynamite, you fall down a mine shaft and all these other things, but there’s these avalanches too.” Following the decline of prospecting in Aspen, by 1935, the population plummeted to around 700, according to city records. Even with the emergence of Aspen since then, only three know burials have taken place at the Ute. Aspenites have since looked to two other sites to bury their loved ones — Aspen Grove and Red Butte cemeteries — which tell stories of other eras in Aspen.
Dean Weiler leads a tour of Aspen’s Ute Cemetery, where the oldest gravestones — and ghosts — of Aspen’s past can be found.

Located east of Aspen near McSkimming Road is Aspen Grove, a wild — and at times unkempt — graveyard frequented by bears who live in the area. Sitting in an aspen grove sprinkled with wildflowers, it was established in 1890. Well-known local names like Twining, Herron, Marolt, Sardy, Cerise, Vagneur and Gerbaz can been found at the grave site. There’s also Elizabeth and Walter Paepcke, Fritz and Fabi Benedict, Herbert Bayer, Ferenc Berko and Friedl Pfeifer, trailblazers who helped usher Aspen into
the modern era. But according to Nina Gabianelli, vice president of programming and education at the Aspen Historical Society, the graveyard’s wildness alienated many local residents connected to Aspen’s fraternal organizations. So in 1900, the Masons, the Woodmen of the World, the Elks, the Swedish Lodge and the Columbine Circle purchased land that would become Red Butte Cemetery, for which Aspen’s Cemetery Lane is named. Though it is no
longer associated with any of the lodges, the Elks and Eagles still hold plots for their members. In recent years, a portion of the cemetery has been committed to Aspen’s Jewish community. Compared to the other two cemeteries, Red Butte is more manicured and maintained, with roads and a dedicated grid for gravestones. Both Red Butte and Aspen Grove are still active, but the number of burials at Red Butte in the 20th century far exceeds the other two.
Red Butte Cemetery, where the most recent Aspen burials have taken place, is the most manicured of the town’s three cemeteries; it was also the site of an Aspen Historical Society Time Travel Tuesday tour in late summer.

“I don’t want to minimize Aspen Grove,” said John Thorpe, former president of the Red Butte Cemetery Association board of directors. “They are clearly the favorite of some portions of the town, although ... I would say we are the most active right now.” Former Colorado Gov. Davis H. Waite is buried at Red Butte along with many miners-turned-tradespeople. Thorpe said that includes the early Slavic community, people who came as miners and stayed as ranchers and workmen. Other occupants include Aspenites who lived through the Quiet Years, the beginning of Aspen’s ski industry and the modern era. “The generations that pulled Aspen through the very, very slow times, from the ’20s to the ’40s,” Thorpe said. “This is clearly the strongest current generation tied to Aspen.” herk@aspentimes.com

DESTINATION | DENVER
THE MILE-HIGH CITY: THREE WAYS TO PLAY ALL ASPENITES LOOK FORWARD TO OFFSEASON — and an offseason escape of some type. At this juncture in my life, a monthlong fall getaway to some exotic locale is nearly impossible. OK, it’s totally impossible. But that doesn’t stop me from dreaming, and then turning my sights to what is possible. So with some creative thinking and a bit of good timing, I was able to drive past the roundabout for three very different Denver weekends — one with my entire family in tow, a day away with a girlfriend, and a date-night celebration with my husband. Here are the places that made my trips to the Big City worth the drive.
GIRLS’ TRIP It may be cliché, but sometimes girls do just wanna have fun. And when that’s the case, Cherry Creek North is the call (or at least for girls in my, ahem, stage of life). With plenty of shopping and hip — but not too cool — restaurants and bars all within walking distance, Cherry Creek North can’t be beat. And the newly remodeled JW

Marriott Denver Cherry Creek is the icing on the cake. It’s modern, yet inviting, with all the amenities you need for a girls’ night — spacious rooms, luxurious bathrooms, sleek linens, unimposing fitness room and spectacular views. A small touch of Big City life in the bar, restaurant and concierge level makes it the perfect combination of city and seclusion — all just a few hours from home.

FAMILY FIRST Every June for the past few years, I’ve spent a weekend what we call “Vegas for kids” — the Omni Interlocken Hotel in Broomfield near Boulder. It’s an annual pilgrimage for Aspen lacrosse players and their brave parents. And every June, I’ve wondered what this amazing resort might be like less a couple of hundred LAX punks and their siblings all hopped up on blue “shark” drinks. This offseason I found out, when I brought just my own family to the Omni for the final night of a weekend filled with Big City shopping, dining and driving from here to there. The answer: Awesome, for all. From the ultra-comfy Omni bed to the ultra-cool Tap Room bar/restaurant,
and from the very fun in-pool movie (for the kids) to the very convenient pool-side bar (for the grown-ups), I found our 24-hour “vacation” at the Omni to be just that: a vacation from the day-to-day grind without having to hop on a plane for a far-away vacay (OK, I’d rather be in Maui, but sometimes you’ve gotta fake it till you make it, right?).
DOWNTOWN DATE So I got away with the girls, and the family got a mini-vacation, but what about me? What about my husband? What does the Big City of Denver have to offer us? A lot, it seems. Thanks to an invitation to travel to the Front Range for a friend’s birthday celebration, we got to celebrate a little too (wedding anniversary, hubby’s birthday, the successful start to another school year, etc.). Staying at the Hotel Monaco right downtown, our one-night escape felt like an eternity. Upon arrival, we drank in the ultra-hip Monaco with the free “wine hour” in the funky lobby. We then crisscrossed the streets of downtown soaking in the sights, before getting ready for our night out — a party with friends at Simm’s Steakhouse in Lakewood followed by a late-night snack at a downtown tavern. After a deep sleep in a suite made for sleeping, we opened the heavy curtains to find a blanket of snow on the peaks to the west. And with I-70 closed due to the weather, we had no choice but to close those curtains and crawl back into bed...until a late breakfast at Tom’s Urban beckoned. Truly, a date night (and morning) to remember.

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE
ON-STAGE OFFSEASON HIGHLIGHTS “SOUL MUSIC IS A TOUGH ONE to watch when you’re sitting in your chair,” Allen Stone told the local crowd, shortly into his Oct. 21 show at the Wheeler Opera House. “I implore you to get up out of your chair!” The audience followed Stone’s command and stuck with the soulful Washington-based singer and bandleader through a phenomenal performance that demonstrated why he’s been touted as one of 2014’s breakout national artists. But the debut Aspen show from the 27-year-old began inauspiciously. An offseason show in Aspen can be hit or miss for a musician like Stone, without huge name recognition or an established local following. I got a bad feeling about its chances when I arrived to find the balcony closed and the orchestra seats little more than half-full. A small crowd and the Wheeler’s seated layout can act like kryptonite on a high-energy, dancefriendly performer like Stone. “I don’t know what Al will do if people just sit and stare at him,” a member of his merch team told me before the show. The crowd did just that as Stone began, but everybody was up, clapping and dancing with him mid-way through his second song, “Freezer Burn,” and he kept them up and moving in a show that demonstrated why he’s garnered comparisons to R&B legends like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. The guy is a shamanistic soul man, with a crowd command befitting this preacher’s son. Songs like “Say So” and “Contact High” showed Stone at the height of his powers, propelled by his massive voice and complemented by his two sassy backup singers and skillful, seven-member backup band, which added layers of swampy guitar, and funky Meters-style Hammond organ and bass. “You can take a seat now,” he said with a smile mid-way through the show, before going into a suite of slow songs, including “Million” and the breezy R&B number, “Bed I Made.” Allen Stone’s rousing performance at the Wheeler Opera House on Oct. 21 got the crowd on its feet and dancing.

PLAYING SOON CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: Toad the Wet Sprocket; Tennis; Kyle Gass Band
Three offseason shows worth marking your calendar for: KYLE GASS BAND (BELLY UP, NOV. 7) The non-Hollywood half of Teniacious D mixes humor and high-caliber musicianship with his side project. TENNIS (BELLY UP, NOV. 8) The Denver-based critical darlings and husband-wife duo close their fall tour here, supporting the new record “Ritual in Repeat.” TOAD THE WET SPROCKET (WHEELER OPERA HOUSE, NOV. 23) The ’90s hit-makers recently got back together and released their first album in 16 years.
MATISYAHU Matisyahu has chilled out considerably since he broke onto the hip-hop scene 10 years ago with his hard-hitting, high-energy reggae rap, and he’s played here regularly to a fervent Aspen fan base since 2006, when he headlined the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Festival. His evolving approach to performance made his Oct. 7 concert at Belly Up one of the more divisive local shows I’ve witnessed. Matisyahu’s stage presence is muted these days. He doesn’t move much or try to pump up the crowd, opting instead to lay back and spit his verses. His increasingly cool approach is accentuated on stage when juxtaposed against his ripping back-up band, the Dub Trio. A lot of us in the crowd were content to hang out and listen to him rhyme on new tracks like “Reservoir” and on slowed-down versions of old hits like “King Without a Crown,” and to witness the evolution of an artist. But others were (understandably) confused, and fled the thinning crowd on the dance floor by mid-set wondering whether the rapper was in the midst of a Propofol binge. I can’t knock a musician for changing, but it looks like Matisyahu is leaving some fans behind as he matures. His opener, the trio Radical Something, made a case for itself as the next iteration of Sublime-style SoCal rap-rock, offering up part-friendly beats and rhymes.
THE APACHE RELAY The Apache Relay has a lot going for it. The Nashville-based band, which played Belly Up on Sunday, Oct. 19, has a charismatic front man in Michael Ford, Jr., and six high-caliber musicians crafting its dynamic mix of country, indie rock and Americana. It was impressive how well the wall-of-sound production of the band’s new self-titled album translated on stage and in show highlights like “Katie Queen of Tennessee” and “Good as Gold.” Ford worked the small but enthusiastic crowd well between songs, buttering them up with banter and the obligatory “Dumb and Dumber” quotes. The national buzz behind this band didn’t translate into much of an Aspen audience, but based on the quality of this show, I won’t be surprised if these guys are headlining some bigger and betterattended local gigs within a few years. The opening band, the young Utah-based rock quartet Desert Noises, looks like one to watch out of the region. They played an admirably hardcharging set, though the thin crowd early in the night was mostly people leftover from the Sunday Night Football game picking at Buffalo wings.
POLIÇA Playing with two drummers can be a mark of silly rock ’n’ roll excess (see King Crimson, Foreigner), but in the case of Minneapolis synthpop band Poliça — who played Belly Up Oct. 26 — it was a revelation. On the band’s two albums, the double-drum rhythms of Drew Christopherson and Ben Ivascu are outshined by Channy Leaneagh’s moody vocals and the soundscape of Ryan Olson’s electronic production. In concert, Olson’s digital textures often faded into the background, with the drums giving song like “Very Cruel” an enthralling velocity, while Leanaugh’s voice provided the soul, transforming them into surprisingly high-energy, danceable live versions. The show was the last on Poliça’s fall tour, during which this rising band filled much bigger rooms than Belly Up. But alas, Aspen brought only a small, enthusiastic crowd out for this performance. For those of us in attendance, it was one to remember.

BOOK REVIEW
‘THE O. HENRY PRIZE STORIES 2014’ LAST SUMMER, New Orleans writer Allison Alsup was among the crowd at the Aspen Writers’ Foundation’s Summer Words literary retreat, workshopping her short story “Old Houses.” The contemporary gothic tale about a just-so Bay Area neighborhood and a recent past that haunts its manicured homes was later published in the New Orleans Review, and earlier this year won an O. Henry Award. Coming in at little more than four pages, it’s an eerie, economical mood piece that packs a wallop while peeling back the smug exterior of Hillcrest’s “houses that know who they are.” It’s now collected, along with the rest of this year’s O. Henry winners,

NOTEWORTHY
in “The O. Henry Prize Stories 2014,” edited by Laura Furman. The anthology showcases emerging fiction writers to keep your eye on, like Alsup, alongside well-established masters of the form, such as William Trevor and Louise Erdrich. Some highlights include Mark Haddon’s gorgeously crafted, disturbing story of childhood and violence, “The Gun” (originally published in Granta), and Kristen Iskandrian’s darkly humorous “The Inheritors” (from Tin House). The stories here are an irreverent, diverse mix — there’s something for everyone in these pages. Along with 20 excellent stories, it includes short essays by the writers about their work, and from the

O. Henry jurors on their favorites. Anytime I go to a book festival or talk to someone from the publishing industry, I’m reminded that small literary magazines are the lifeblood of serious fiction in America — and I always feel a little guilty about not supporting them more. This collection likewise makes an excellent case for publications like Tin House, Narrative, and the Threepenny Review, simply by highlighting the caliber of stories you can find in them.
