Local authorities found Ralston in Utah's Canyonlands National Park on Thursday, after less than a day's search. Ralston had been reported missing when he didn't show up for work at a mountaineering store in Aspen, Colo. He told his rescuers he had been hiking and rock climbing alone through the canyon, 40 miles from the nearest paved road and on a trail rarely used by others. But five days earlier, a boulder had crashed down on his right arm, pinning him in a 3-ft.-wide space. Ralston fought hard, but the rock wouldn't budge...
...salty ice cream, adorable presentations, things you eat with your fingers—one can’t help but wonder why Oleana looks (and feels—we were nearly roasted in our seats by an electric “wood” stove) like a sauna in Aspen instead of a reflection of the rich flavors and cultural history that inspire its food. Oleana need not take its décor as seriously as its mainly bespectacled Cantabrigian clientele take themselves. A bit more color adds to the stone gray and earth-toned wood interior?...
...attention, profilers have long warned, to a serial killer's first strike. The first of the bullets that strafed the suburbs of Washington last week sliced through the air over a drab strip-mall parking lot in Aspen Hill, Md., and cracked a nickel-size hole in the front window of a Michaels craft store. It then arced through a leafy display of silk autumnal bouquets, zipped behind the head of a female cashier and pierced a hole through thelamp over the register of lane No. 5. Emerging on the other side, it whizzed over a Christmas-ornament display...
Some parents in Aspen, Colo., are hopping mad that their kids may learn Downward-Facing Dog in school. At a packed school-board meeting last week, Steve Woodrow, a Baptist minister and parent of two students at Aspen Elementary School, challenged the school's plan to teach yoga this fall on the grounds that instruction in the ancient practice of breathing and stretching introduces religion into the classroom and thus is unconstitutional. School officials planned to launch a program called Yoga Ed, already used in public schools in Los Angeles, Seattle and Columbus, Ohio, in hopes that it would help...
...mining town that once thrived on smelting gold and silver ore, Durango today is following Aspen and Telluride in remodeling itself as a tourist destination and a home for wealthy retirees seeking an outdoor life. The small town is quaintly restored, but the economy is sagging. Fires and drought have put an end to much of the hiking and whitewater rafting, restaurants are laying off staff, and many tourists have canceled trips. While the rest of the country keeps a nervous eye on the Dow Jones industrial average, everyone in Durango follows cubic-feet-per-second flow rates...
