PERFORMANCE HE WILL (HE WILL) ROCK YOU. Gary Mullen has been rocking audiences with his tribute to Freddy Mercuty and Queen for 16 years now with his band, The Works. Mullen, with the attendant mustache, tight pants and soaring voice, first drew notice in his native Granada on the TV program “Stars in Their Eyes,” on which his performances as Mercury won the cover band competition with upward of 800,000 viewer votes. After that surprise star turn, he got his band together and began touring the world with the acclaimed “One Night of Queen” tribute, which comes to the Wheeler Opera House on Sunday, March 20. The five-man band’s show features a full repertoire of Queen standards — “A Kind of Magic,” “We Will Rock You,” “Under Pressure,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Are the Champions” and so on — that keep the rock legends alive in more than 150 annual shows around the world. They’ve earned a reputation among the higher quality tribute shows — offering a theatrical reincarnation of the late Mercury and giving a new generation the opportunity to see Queen’s immortal songs performed live. Tickets are $45, available at the Wheeler Opera House box office and www.aspenshowtix.com.

The Wheeler Opera House will host “One Night of Queen” on Sunday, March 20.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

A freak-out in Kansas — it can happen everywhere READING ABOUT RECENT political developments in The Jayhawker State, I was reminded of lyrics from Frank Zappa’s prescient 1966 song, “It Can’t Happen Here” on the “Freak Out” album by his early band, The Mothers of Invention. The song goes like this: “Who could imagine (various weird background vocals and noises) that they would freak out (more noises, including repeated croaking of the words ‘freak out’) somewhere ... in Kansas,” followed by repeated croakings of the word, Kansas (which is the Jayhawker State, in case you were wondering). Yeah, I know, you kind of have to hear the tune to get it in any deep and meaningful way, and I heartily recommend you check it out on YouTube. Anyways, I sure as hell could never have imagined what’s going on right now in Kansas, a state I have yet to visit and, after reading what I came across last week in the news, I hope never to visit, ever. Nope, I could never imagine what goes on in Kansas, certainly not when I was 15 and the aforementioned album came out (interestingly, that was the same year as publication of Truman Capote’s “In Cold Blood” about a heinous crime in, guess where, Kansas). But now I need not imagine anymore, it’s a published fact that there are efforts by Kansas’ Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and his Republican, Tea Party-controlled legislature to essentially undo the constitutional separation of powers between the executive, judiciary and legislative branches of state government. A raving lunatic by the name of State Sen. Mitch Holmes (not related to Sherlock, probably not even to Johnny of porn-film fame) has introduced legislation that effectively tells the state’s judiciary, “You go along with every law we pass, or we’ll kick you off the bench.” It’s true. The proposed legislation, known as Bill 439, provides that any time a judge tries to strike down or modify a law passed by the Tea Party-controlled legislature (both houses, by the way), that judge is instantly and automatically subject to possible impeachment procedures. That’s right, if the legislature passes some law that the state courts feel is unconstitutional or just plain wrong, the judges of Kansas would be legally constrained from doing anything about it for fear of losing their jobs. As noted by the appropriately-named website, freakoutnation.com, this is not the first time the nutballs in the Kansas statehouse have tried to muzzle or castrate the state’s judiciary. Last year, the elected leaders of the state tried to emasculate the judicial branch by threatening to cut its funding statewide if

the state Supreme Court dared to rule that a certain 2014 law was unconstitutional. The Kansas Supremes, however, called that bluff and the legislature backed down. So now, the teabaggers whom the Kansas electorate has, in all its wisdom, put in control of the state government, are moving to broaden their powers by overriding one of the basic tenets of the U.S. Constitution and every state constitution — the separation-of-powers doctrine that provides the checks and balances needed to prevent despotic politicians from enshrining their regressive, bigoted agendas through illegal means. According to the Kansas City Star, not exactly a leftist revolutionary organ, the proposed law “smacks of desperation” and was prompted by recent Kansas Supreme Court rulings concerning “school finance, abortion, criminal cases and political spats” that went against the Tea Party grain. And it is probable that, if the bill is approved and makes it to the desk of the Koch-brothers’ puppet, Sam Brownback, he will sign it as a shortcut method of stacking the state courts with cronies and pliable hacks. Quoting Holmes as accusing the state high court of “overreach” in its rulings, the KC Star rejoined that it was citizens who filed suits in the recent school-finance case and others — citizens who were not happy with the legislature’s actions but were unable to make their voices known in the heavily gerrymandered districts long controlled by Republicans. Of course, it further angered the teabaggers when a lower-court judge concluded the legislature had acted in ways that were “destructive of our children’s future,” and the Kansas Supremes agreed and forced the statehouse to rethink its anti-education legislative agenda. In case you are wondering why what happens in Kansas should matter to you, think a little harder and you’ll realize that already the nation is going the way of Kansas. Already, Republicans elected through gerrymandered and rigged elections all across the country, and emboldened by their own kind of overreach, have let it be known they will not give a hearing to any Supreme Court nominee that Barack Obama comes up with to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Spitting and screaming their way into power, the teabaggers and their ilk have made it clear that the only kind of “activist” judges they will tolerate are those whose activism is in lock-step with anti-immigrant, anti-women, anti-progressive ideals. Think about it. Even if you never wanted to live in Kansas, the way thins are going, we soon may all be stuck there.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Miners found minerals of all colors, shapes and textures—such as this rare one—in Aspen’s mines.

THE ALLURE OF UNDERGROUND TREASURE We often think of decades of silver mining in terms

of a few rags to riches stories. It’s easy to ignore the day-to-day miners. Although they earned more than most other industrial workers of the time, miners were drawn below the earth for more reasons than profit or wages. Many were captured by the allure of hidden treasure. My father’s captivation for silver began when he was 10 years old. He accompanied his father on a trip to Aspen in 1918. He did not get to accompany his dad into the new Midnight tunnel, driven from Queens Gulch under the old Midnight workings in Little Annie Basin. But his father took him along to examine the older workings. At the time the Little Annie Mine adjoining the Midnight still operated. Through a lease, Moby Welch worked the claim and accumulated nearly enough ore for a railroad car shipment. With candlelight, Welch led my ancestors through the Little Annie tunnel, up a couple of levels, and then into one of the upper chambers of the Midnight. They entered a large manmade cavern where ore had been extracted, commonly called a “stope.” The experience resembled a stroll through

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

Carlsbad Caverns, pitch black without the light of a lantern. The candles barely lit a dazzling display of underground delights. Faults moved and fractured rock,

pink and white barite and sparkled with callcite crystals. Silver can be beautiful, yet the Midnight’s lead ore, galena, outshined it. The contrast of white barite intensified clear gem-

MY FATHER FACED A RAINBOW OF CRYSTAL FACETS, A WALL THAT TWINKLED WITH PINK AND WHITE BARITE AND SPARKLED WITH CALLCITE CRYSTALS. SILVER CAN BE BEAUTIFUL, YET THE MIDNIGHT’S LEAD ORE, GALENA, OUTSHINED IT. THE CONTRAST OF WHITE BARITE INTENSIFIED CLEAR GEMSTONE COLORS AND METALLIC GLINTS. which created space for ore to move in. Miners removed the ore to the edge of mineral deposition. There, the rock type changed and one geologic layer collided with another. My father faced a rainbow of crystal facets, a wall that twinkled with

Mar ch 17 - Mar ch 23, 2016

stone colors and metallic glints. In the Smuggler Mine silver and pink feldspar were found in almost equal proportion, a rare and stunning mix. The silver was pure, rather than blended with lead and zinc. The small and precious zone ex-

ceeded the average 20 to 100 ounces of silver per ton by tenfold. My father saw a band of silver, more interesting to my grandfather, glisten in the lantern’s light. Welch worked that 30-inch vein, extended down from one of the upper level stopes. Before Father graduated from high school he knew what he wanted to do with his life: he would be a miner. He followed every opportunity to return underground.

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.

GO GREEN

1910 ASPEN

“THIS IS ST. PATRICK’S DAY, YOU KNOW,” asserted the Aspen Daily Times on March 17, 1908. “The wearing of the green is appropriate- don’t forget the ball and big dinner tonight. Are you wearing the green today? This is St. Patrick’s day in all its glory and if you want to be a loyal Irishman, then don the green. The day will be fittingly celebrated here. The Knights of Wolfetone, a patriotic Irish society, tonight will give their big annual ball at Fraternal hall. The ladies of the Altar society will serve a dinner in the banquet room at 6 o’clock. Elaborate preparations have been made for the dinner and the hall and you can’t afford to miss it.” The image above shows Aspen and Aspen Mountain, circa 1910.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

WEAR IT: VIBRAM ‘ARCTIC GRIP’ SOLE WINTER WAS DISAPPEARING NEAR MY HOME. But I had one last cold-weather gear test to perform, and the lake ice under a nearby bridge (wet, smooth as glass, still a foot thick in the shadows) would provide a perfect venue for the review. I laced up the test subject, a pair of Wolverine boots adorned with to-be-released Vibram Arctic Grip soles, and then I climbed over a railing onto a frozen plane. The rubber underfoot, a new invention, was purported to grip wet ice almost like metal spikes. Indeed, Arctic Grip is advertised to give “up to three times better grip” on wet ice surfaces. It does this via lugs made of a special material that feels gritty to the touch. The company will not reveal any details on the materials used, which are a proprietary mix of rubber and other constitutes. On ice, the Arctic Grip lugs turn blue, which Vibram calls a “thermochromatic” effect. Though the color change is only aesthetic, it’s made to call attention to the innovation built into the tread. For walking on wet ice, the Arctic Grip technology truly adds a level of grip heretofore unseen from an all-rubber sole. Under the bridge, I took a couple fast steps and attempted to slide. The Vibram sole, which mixes traditional winter-oriented rubber with the Arctic Grip lugs, did not immediately “stick” to the ice; I was able to glide on my boots a few feet. However, while walking on the wet ice, the Arctic Grip shined — with each step

the boots subtly gripped to keep me upright and confident on ice so sheen I could look down and see my reflection in the frozen water below. The technology was most noticeable when compared against another boot. Arctic Grip does not take the place of crampons or YakTrax. But compared to normal hiking boots, it’s an impressive upgrade for anyone who spends time tromping around in the cold. Basically, the Arctic Grip gives a bit more traction on ice. You are able to steadily walk across glare, wet ice without hesitation. Sudden movements and short bursts, however, still are subject to the slick properties of frozen water underfoot.

Beyond the Wolverine brand boots I tested, Vibram’s Arctic Grip soles will be seen on footwear from Saucony, Merrell, Sperry, Chaco, CAT Footwear and other Wolverine Worldwide brands this fall. In 2017, Vibram will offer its ice-gripping sole to brands beyond the Wolverine group. Check it out if you’re in need of extra traction — and the confidence that comes with it — on ice anywhere outdoors when the temps drop low and the ground gets slick.

WINEINK

GREG VAN WAGNER:

JIMMY’S, AN AMERICAN RESTAURANT & (WINE) BAR MAN LET’S FACE IT, the only thing better than a free glass of wine is a free glass of GREAT wine. And if you are willing to wager a few bucks on your wine knowledge at Jimmy’s, An American Restaurant & Bar — and your palate can back it up — you just may be getting that glass of great wine for free. That’s the deal in the new Jimmy’s Wine KELLY J. HAYES Challenge, offered nightly, tableside, by Greg Van Wagner, wine and beverage director at Jimmy’s and Jimmy’s Bodega, along with the restaurant’s sommelier, Perrin Wolfe. “We thought it would be fun to offer guests a chance to taste some of our great wines by the glass and give them an opportunity to show their wine knowledge. Oh, and a great glass of Barolo on us is fun as well.” In some places, something like the Wine Challenge (see box for details) may seem like a promotion or a gimmick. But at Jimmy’s, and its sister restaurant Jimmy’s Bodega, no gimmicks are allowed. This is just one way that Aspen’s most uniquely hometown restaurant has fun with its friends and guests. VAN WAGNER’S JOURNEY IN WINE Jimmy Yeager opened what may be Aspen’s most iconic restaurant nearly two decades ago in one of the town’s primo spaces. While it has become recognized nationally as an outstanding bar and cocktail destination, insiders have long known that it has a serious wine program as well. That program was kicked up a notch in 2014 when Jimmy hired Greg Van Wagner to focus on the cellar. A Pennsylvania native, the affable and handsome Van Wagner brought exemplary restaurant bona fides to the position with a background that began with a lucky break. “I came to Boulder, Colorado, to ride bikes,” said the former team racer. “I needed a job and saw an opening on Craigslist for a front of the house spot at

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

Frasca Food and Wine and went in to interview.” There he met Bobby Stuckey, one of Frasca’s founders, a Master Sommelier and the 2013 winner of the James Beard Award for Outstanding Wine Service. “It’s where I first learned about wine and there is no place better to learn ‘best habits’ early,” Van Wagner said of his experience as a server and bartender. “Everybody gets such strong wine exposure and an education there.” He was also fortunate to be included in a staff excursion to the Friuli region of Italy, the source of many of the wines that appear on Frasca’s wine list. Fully committed to a life in hospitality, Van Wagner went to Boulder’s Oak at 14th for two years where he ran an innovative wine and cocktail program, and then landed in Aspen at the Little Nell’s Element 47, where he toiled as the maître d’hôtel for two years. “Again a great experience with another amazing restaurant and a great wine program,” he said. He took the position at Jimmy’s after spending time with the Yeager and is now focused on building the wine program and working with the already outstanding spirits program. Van Wagner recently returned from a whirlwind trip to France and Italy with Jimmy’s staff and is intensely involved in his preparation for the Advanced Sommelier exam, which he will take next month in Portland. JIMMY’S WINE PROGRAM There are a number of things about the Jimmy’s wine program that make it unique. “First, we have ‘American’ in our name so we take pride in pouring the best wines form California, Oregon and Nevada,” explained Van Wagner. “Also, we like to go deep and make sure that we have vintages and verticals. You can find real value in, say, California cabs from the ’90s which can be much less expensive than Bordeaux.” That’s not to say that they shirk their global responsibilities. In Aspen, a great list must include the wines of the world’s top wine regions, like Bordeaux, Piemonte and Priorat. “We also like to have

a sliding scale when we price our wines so that the mark-up is reduced a bit as the price of the wines rise,” Van Wagner said. “That allows someone to have a great experience and maybe try wine that is perhaps a little more expensive.” And Jimmy’s will sell any bottle on their list as a half bottle, at half the price. “Let’s say you just flew in from L.A. or San Francisco or New York, and you’ve just come up to the high altitude. You feel like a great glass or two of wine to celebrate but a whole bottle will be too much,” says Van Wagner. “Just order a bottle. Tell us you want half of it, we’ll decant it for you and put the rest under Corvin (a stopper

that preserves already opened wine) and sell it by the glass.” There also is a “Personal Experiences” section of the list. It is here that Jimmy and Greg write a few notes about the people and wines that they have experienced on their sojourns to different wineries and regions. It personalizes the list and brings a sense of place to the wines. All that and a shot at a free glass of wine. Time to take the Wine Challenge. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-tobe-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and black Lab named Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE CORVIDAE WINE CO. 2014 “MIRTH” CHARDONNAY, COLUMBIA VALLEY So it is St. Patrick’s Day and I was thinking about green wines instead of green beer. Vinho Verde, the “green wine” from Portugal, came to mind, as did the idea of doing something on wines made using “green” practices. But then I thought, what could be better for the occasion than a wine named “Mirth” made by an Irishman. This affordable chardonnay is from the Owen Roe family of wines and is made under the steady hand of David O’Reilly. Green apples, steely clean flavors. What could be better? Sláinte.

JIMMY’S WINE CHALLENGE Want to play? It’s really pretty simple. At your request, the Jimmy’s staff will pour you a glass of wine. Blind. Taste it. Identify it correctly and the glass is on Jimmy’s. Ah, but there are variations to make it a bit more challenging. For example: Guests are invited to choose between a “low stakes” wine or a “high stakes” wine with a bythe-glass price ranging from $20 to $100. The guest is given a card that corresponds to the blind pour with either the name of the grape or region or the actual names of the wines. Low-stakes bidders can simply guess the grape or the region, such as French Pinot Noir or California Cabernet Sauvignon. The high-stakes option is a bit tougher. You may have a Barolo, a Barbaresco or a Brunello in the glass. You have to name the wine. Get it right, and the glass is on the house. Regardless of whether or not you get the correct answer, you will have thought a little deeper about the wine and be assured that whatever is poured will be worthy of the price you paid.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

MISSION POSSIBLE COOK, WHY DON’T YOU?

LAST NOVEMBER, before I moved to a new apartment, I made a strong effort to clean out my pantry. A fresh start seemed appropriate. It worked, mostly: I ended up packing just a couple of egg boxes, one full of spices, oils, vinegars, and other shelf-stable condiments that tend to go the distance. But now, every time I open the cabinet where these kinds AMANDA RAE of ingredients live in my new place, I’m reminded of a past shortcoming. A slender figure the shape of an old soda bottle stands at the front corner, clear of the Lazy Susan that holds frequently used items. It’s wrapped in a bright blue label with Arabic lettering: pomegranate molasses. I ordered the tangy, sanguine syrup online, one day inspired to prepare fesenjan, an Iranian chicken stew made with a thick gravy of onion, ground walnuts, and this special sweet-tart ingredient. I even printed the recipe from the New York Times Cooking website in anticipation of making it during the winter solstice, as is customary. This was two and a half years ago. What happened to my motivation to tackle this exotic dish for the last 30 months? This bottle of pomegranate molasses had become a relic of my own kitchen inadequacy. The fesenjan procedure isn’t daunting. Hands-on time maxes out around half an hour, mostly the dish bubbles away in a Dutch oven by itself. Rarely do I have four cups of walnuts, two pounds of chicken, and a half-cup of grated butternut squash lying around, but I could go buy it if I really wanted to. The flavor could be a crapshoot — possibly sour and cloying at the same time. Even if I halved the recipe, the leftovers! Ugh. David Tamarkin knows all about this — he calls it, “the barriers to home cooking.” In January, the editor of online recipe encyclopedia Epicurious endeavored to cook every meal he ate for the entire month. He allowed himself

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

three cheat meals out of 90 — he’s human, after all — otherwise, he’d prep all food himself. The original impetus was financial — daily $4 breakfasts of pre-peeled hardboiled eggs, plus multiple coffee breaks, in the Condé Nast cafeteria, followed by dinners in Manhattan, added up to an obscene amount of discretionary income. During the last week of his #Cook90 challenge, Tamarkin explains via the Food52 “Burnt Toast” podcast that many common obstacles to cooking — lack of money or access to grocery stores; an uncompromising work schedule; children or a partner with different tastes; time and desire to scout new recipes to break out of a rut — don’t apply to him. Yet while he feels confident in his skills and calm in the kitchen, he isn’t the kind of person to find “magic…in chopping tomatoes.” So, Tamarkin says, “If I could cook every day and see what my barriers were, I would understand the barriers my readers have.” He wanted to become a better cook, too. One rule: he must attempt three new cuisines each week. Tamarkin discovered that organization was his most crucial excuse. “If I don’t meal plan and do a big weekly shop, I’m not gonna be a good cook that week because I’m having a panic attack at 3 p.m…. about dinner,” he says. (See more of his tips, opposite page.) Despite being a food editor, Tamarkin also struggled with motivation. He lamented feeling like he spent a lot of time indoors, cooking. (That might be a biggie for Aspenites who would rather grab a granola bar and get outside than spend daylight hours in the kitchen.) He drank more wine—alone. He missed the social interaction of dining out; on Day 24 he broke down and used his first cheat meal. He suffered critiques on social media, such as the Instagram naysayer who questioned his choice of grilled cheese for breakfast. The challenge begs the question: What constitutes cooking, anyway? Do morning smoothies count? What about toast? Assembling a salad? Are we not home cooks if we

Mar ch 17 - Mar ch 23, 2016

eat eggs for dinner every night? “If I’ve used my skills in the kitchen to feed myself, that’s cooking,” Tamarkin concluded on an Epicurious blog documenting his #Cook90 experience. Then there are the chestnuts of drive and inspiration — often hard to summon, especially when actively sought after. Witness a listener calling in for advice to The Splendid Table, NPR’s popular culinary podcast: “One of my goals in 2016 is to try 12 new dishes from 12 different countries this year,” she says. “Suggestions on cuisines, cultures to not miss?” It’s personal, host David Leite replies. He suggests the woman take a radical, adventurous approach. “Buy a map of the world, tape it to your kitchen wall,” Leite says. “Blindfold your husband and play pin the tail on the country. Wherever that pin lands is where you’ll cook from. It’s culinary travel—you can research and learn about it, and guess who becomes the expert on Yemen cooking or South African cooking? You! And your circle of friends.” How’s that for a personal dare or supper club theme? Cathy Erway of Not Eating Out

in New York—a 10-year-old blog chronicling her home-cooking adventures since she began boycotting pricey restaurants, which led her to write a book, “The Art of Eating In” — approaches inspiration from another angle. Among her “Reasons for Not Eating Out”: #1 Gimmicks, #22 Your Health, #52 To Better Experience the Seasons, #30 This is Why You’re Not Fat, and #39 Because the Hair in My Food is Always Mine. Ha! So, after watching Michael Pollan’s call-to-action Netflix series, “Cooked,” last week, I stared down that bottle of pomegranate molasses for the last time. I plucked it from the cabinet and picked up the other ingredients during my Sunday evening food haul. Finally, I made fesenjan. As expected, Erway was right about the “adrenaline rush once you start [cooking],” the momentum of which “is much like a domino effect.” In fact, I prepared chelo (steamed Persian basmati rice) with crispy tadig crust to go with it. Iran, check. Only 10 more countries to go….

CONVENIENT TRUTHS Make food prep a breeze with these handy tips from Epicurious editor David Tamarkin of The #Cook90 Challenge. •

Do a “big shop” every week. Attempting to buy ingredients à la carte — on weeknights after work or when hungry — is recipe for failure.

•

Stay stocked on staples: washed greens, frozen fish or shrimp, bread. Toast may be topped with virtually anything to create a meal.

•

Batch it. Cook a large quantity of grains such as quinoa, rice, and farro — those that take a while to cook, especially — to store in the freezer.

•

Get creative with leftovers. Tamarkin turns everything into soup. Whiz leftover roasted vegetables, cooked beans, and meat with broth for a quick, hot dish.

•

When in doubt, put an egg on it. Instant protein upgrade.

•

Don’t let the voice in your head get to you. You’re more skilled than you think. Plan and focus. And remember that even food editors like Tamarkin struggle with walking the talk.

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

MAKE IT CHOCOLATE GUINNESS CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GUINNESS GLAZE Start to finish: 2 hours (15 minutes active) | Servings: 12 FOR THE CAKE:

FOR THE GLAZE:

1 cup cocoa powder, plus extra for the pan 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 21/2 cups granulated sugar 4 large eggs 21/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 ⁄8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup half-and-half 1/2 cup Guinness, room temperature

2 cups powdered sugar 3 tablespoons cocoa powder 6 tablespoons Guinness 2 tablespoons half-and-half or heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Pinch of kosher salt

Heat the oven to 325 F. Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan very well with cooking spray. Sprinkle in a bit of cocoa powder, turning to coat evening, then overturning to discard any excess. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until smooth. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of cocoa powder, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, stir together the vanilla, halfand-half and Guinness. With the mixer running on low, alternate adding the liquid and dry ingredients to the sugar-butter mixture, mixing just until everything is mixed and smooth. Transfer to the prepared Bundt pan, tapping it gently on the counter to release air bubbles. Smooth the top, then bake for 1 hour 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients until smooth. Set aside. When the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 25 minutes. Set a wire cooling rack over the pan, then invert it so the cake stands on the rack. For ease of cleanup, set the rack over a rimmed baking sheet or a sheet of kitchen parchment. Use a tooth pick to poke deep holes all over the top of the cake. Spoon glaze over the top of the cake and wait until it seeps into the holes. Spoon more glaze into the holes, then wait 10 minutes. Spoon the remaining glaze all over the top so it covers the holes and drizzles down the sides.

GUINNESS GOODNESS St. Patrick’s Day is a favorite holiday of mine (note my last name). And while I considered sharing with you what I drink on this most Irish of holidays, I decided why bother. We all enjoy a pint of Irish beer (Guinness, Smithwicks, a black-and-tan, perhaps?), a shot of Irish whiskey, an Irish Car Bomb, Irish coffee, or a plastic cup of green beer on March 17, right? So in my research as a cocktail writer, I came upon this recipe ... not for a libation, but for a cake laced with liquor. In this case, the aforementioned Guinness. So lads and lassies, let’s give this one a go — on St. Paddy’s Day or any day.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

The Glenwood Springs Vaudeville Revue has a little bit of everyting — even acts you might not expect.

THE SHOW GOES ON

QUALITY VAUDEVILLE IS JUST A JUMP, SKIP AND A HOP AWAY WHEN WE WANT ENTERTAINMENT in Aspen, we tend to look to the staples. What’s playing at the Belly Up? Anything happening at the Wheeler? Maybe a movie at the Isis? But one thing we don’t often think about is what lies slightly out of Aspen. There’s a growing arts scene downvalley that I enjoy immensely each time I opt to take the short trip to check it out. Most reBARBARA cently, a show that had PLATTS me laughing so hard there were tears streaming down my face was the Glenwood Vaudeville Spring Revue. This troupe of hilarious and talented performers was originally founded in 2009 by John Goss. The show is full of comedic skits, well written songs, downright silly jokes and even impressive dance numbers. The eclectic range of content in each show keeps the audience on their toes. One minute, the performers are dressed as fast food items and are singing a classical music number and the next they are large bobbling baby heads…you may have to be there for that one. Living upvalley I hadn’t heard too much about this vaudeville show until one rather intoxicated night when a couple friends and I decided to take a cab into Aspen. As I normally do in my drunken banter, I struck up a conversation with the

cab driver. However, this one was different. He was oddly familiar. It soon became clear, the details of exactly how escape my memory, that this driver was Tom Erickson, a performer who used to work at the Crystal Palace in Aspen. For people who are new to Aspen within the last eight years, the Crystal Palace means something a bit different than it used to. Now a space for various dance parties, young professional events and even a funky popup store, it may appear a bit vague as to what the building’s original use was. The beautiful space used to be a dinner theater where your servers doubled as singers, dancers and comics. The acts ranged in topic but many were a form of political satire, poking fun at presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle, as well as notable personages such as Barbara Streisand and even Dr. Jack Kevorkian. My family had frequented the Crystal Palace since its birth in the early 1960s. I remember stories my grandparents used to tell me about going there on one of the opening nights. From a young age, I was placed in a dinner seat at the venue and laughed along with my parents, aunts and uncles. I was singing the song “Lesbians, Lesbians” before I even knew exactly what a lesbian was. Anyway, out of all the many things to miss about Aspen in the late 1900s, the Crystal Palace is what my family mourns for most.

That’s why it was so refreshing to see Crystal Palace legend Tom driving my friends and me into town. We started singing songs from back in the day and he urged me to come down to Glenwood where he and some of the other Crystal Palace regulars had joined forces with other talent, creating a wildly entertaining, seasonally changing show at the Glenwood Vaudeville Revue. His recommendation is all that it took. A couple days later, I booked tickets to the show with my parents (two of the biggest Crystal Palace fans I know) and my boyfriend, and we headed for the Springs. When we walked into the theater over the weekend, we were greeted by a quaint bar and highly charismatic bartenders (who, along with the waiters, would morph into the entertainers later on). The scene was similar to many of the small theaters we used to go to like the Boulder Dinner Theater, Heritage Square in Golden and, of course, the Crystal Palace. When we entered the theater, nostalgia took an even greater hold. Hundreds of seats were set up around tables that were angled toward the stage. Each waiter and waitress was just as entertaining as the next. They all seemed like born entertainers, the types that couldn’t stop singing and dancing if they were forced to. Then the show started, and with it came the jovial tears and sore stomachs from hoards of aggres-

sive giggling. I won’t give away the details of the acts (however the Facebook song was incredible … so was the dieting song … OK, that’s all I will say), but each one was as creative as the next. Some were pertinent to national conversations going on today and others were just entirely random — that was the beauty of it. It was wonderful to see old-time favorites like Tom Erickson, Gary Daniel, Nina Gabianelli (who is subbing in for another cast member this season) and John Goss. We also found new favorites in Alexis Van Vleet and Julie Manischalchi. Overall, the two-hour show was one to remember. I look forward to going back again. If you are someone that remembers the days of the Crystal Palace fondly, or have no idea what the show and entire experience entailed, I would urge you to check out the Glenwood Vaudeville Revue. It will give you a new cultural venue to add to your list besides the typical Aspen staples. The Glenwood Vaudeville Revue’s spring show runs through May 14. The summer show will start sometime in June. For more information, check out www.gvrshow.com. Barbara Platts loves theater, especially when it makes you laugh so hard you almost pee your pants.

VOYAGES

ESCAPE ARTIST | THE WORLD

by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY

YOUR RED-EYE CHEAT SHEET

TIPS FOR A COMFORTABLE OVERNIGHT FLIGHT FILLED WITH HOURS OF SHUT-EYE I AM A CERTIFIABLE disaster without a solid night’s sleep, I admit it. This is why I am a stickler for my nighttime routine, especially when it comes to flying. I plan ahead for everything, including where to sit (not near the bathrooms!) and timing for dinner, drinks and lights out. The following is the best advice I can give travelers for that next AMIEE WHITE overnight flight in econBEAZLEY omy. (Disclaimer: If you fly first class or business, there is little planning needed as most seats in these classes lie flat, and what more do you need? Also if you have kids with you, throw the following advice out the window; traveling with kids on a long-haul flight is a whole different animal with a different attack plan, which I’d be happy to share another time.) Before I leave, I am sure to book a window seat (I like to lean my head against the window), and choose a row as far as I can from a bathroom or the galley (noise and

smells!). I ask for vegetarian meals on flights. I eat meat sparingly, and the quality of food, which are packed with preservatives, on most flights is still really poor, but it seems like most airlines can get a vegetarian curry or veggie pasta down without trouble. Fashion be damned when flying overnight. I prefer to wear loose clothing, like pants from Athleta and always a sweatshirt with a hood. The hood is great for a little extra privacy and great sleeping (over the sleeping mask and noise canceling headphones-see below). And no matter what climate I’m flying toward, leaving from the mountains requires me to be warm when stepping on and off the plane, so I also wear a packable down jacket. When I’m on the plane and it’s time to sleep, I pack the jacket into its own bag and use as an extra pillow or lay it over me like a down blanket. I usually travel with two carry-ons. One with my clothes for the trip and one for everything I need on the plane. I prefer a backpack (I use the Patagonia Black Hole laptop backpack), but whatever the

vessel, be sure your carry-on can fit beneath seat so everything can be accessed easily without having to scoot past people in your row, and, later, when it’s time to sleep, it can be used as a footrest. In that backpack I pack the following: My laptop and charger, as well as an international adapter so that I can recharge while in the airport during layovers. A phone charger, a water bottle that I fill up before getting on the plane, a neck pillow, copies of my itinerary, passport and flight information in case my phone dies, and of course all of my essentials inside of a travel wallet — passport, Global Entry card (the $100 and interview process at DIA is so worth the time savings upon returning to the U.S.), driver’s license, two credit cards (be sure to call ahead and authorize use overseas), an ATM card, business cards and at least $100 in cash to be exchanged as soon as I land. I also pack a toiletry bag that contains a black-out sleeping mask, any medicine or supplements I might need, toothpaste and a toothbrush, or a disposable version like Colgate

Wisp, and some Advil for sinus pressure upon takeoff and landing, which I suffer through all the time. Extras include Bose noise canceling headphones or earplugs, a small mirror, tissues, a novel to read, a Moleskine journal and a handful of pens (I lose all but one every trip.) I also back two Lara bars for each way of the flight. I have some weird survival instinct that kicks in once the plane closes its doors. I hate to be at the mercy of strangers for nourishment, so I pack easy items like Lara bars that are still healthy but can satisfy any real or perceived hunger. As for timing at night, we travelers are indeed at the mercy of the cabin crew for dinner and dimming of the lights. But as soon as they finish up dinner service, take any sleep aids you may prefer like melatonin or prescription Ambien, drink more water, then visit the bathroom, brush your teeth, wash your face (see face wipes below), get back to your seat and get ready to sleep whether the lights are out or not (sleep mask, earplugs and pull up that hoody!). The pace, of course, all depends on where you are going and how long the flight is, but consider the flight from Denver to Frankfurt, for example. You’ve only got a little over seven hours of a nine-hour flight to do all of the above before the lights are on and they are serving breakfast. Of course you can forgo the meals altogether to maximize sleeping time, but alert your airline to this preference beforehand. For morning, I go back to that toiletry bag where I’ve stashed face wipes or a hydrating face mist (I like Clarks Botanicals Cellular Moisture Mist), hair ties, Wet Ones for my hands and lip balm, so that I can look as refreshed as I feel. When I wake I drink a ton of water, fill out my custom cards and repack everything I used overnight into my backpack — and yes, it all fits.

VALLEY SPECIAL OLYMPICS PROGRAM GROWING, PROGRESSING

LL FINISHED WITH THEIR RACES,

the teens were loading up on snacks and water, waiting to hear their names called at the award ceremony. Most of them were taking home medals, so spirits were high as they flitted around the room chatting with their friends. One girl changed out of her ski clothes and put on a dress — at 15, she was more about the dance to follow. This was no ordinary kids’ athletic event — and yet, it was. That’s really what Special Olympics does: it gives

kids, and adults, with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to have the same experiences every other kid in America has. As explained to me by one of the mothers, Stephanie Munk, Special Olympics is important because it gets them active, they succeed, they form lasting friendships, and they visit new places. Sound familiar? Munk and her husband, David, kept this group of local athletes in Special Olympics after losing their

coach two years ago. Their daughter, 15-year-old Ella, has been skiing with Special Olympics for five years. While the dance might be more important to her now, that’s all the more reason for her to keep doing it, Munk said. “I love Special Olympics,” said Emily Garcia. “Special Olympics is a great thing for kids with disabilities. Number one, you get to meet people from different cities and even in your city. Second, you get to win awards. … And third, I love skiing, and I’m an

ambitious skier.” Ella and Emily are about the same age and have become close friends through participating in Special Olympics together. That’s one of the strengths of the current crop of athletes from the valley, most of whom are in their teens, said Maria Peters, whose son Max participates. It’s huge for them to interact and make friends with peers their own age, she said. “This doesn’t happen in most adaptive programs,” she said.

Emily Garcia speeds around a gate at Copper.

MAKING IT happen

The Munks solicited the help of local nonprofit Challenge Aspen this year. Special Olympics funds the athletes’ participation, but Challenge Aspen is helping with paperwork, transportation and other logistics, explained Deb Gravelle, Challenge Aspen’s recreational, educational and cultural program director. This year they went to a regional Special Olympics tournament at Ski Cooper, and eight team members qualified for the statewide competition at Copper on Feb. 28, where almost all of them took home multiple medals. For the one athlete who didn’t medal, the day was still a huge success. This has been Max Peters’ first season skiing independently. “This is the first year he’s following his buddies, following his coaches,”

said Maria Peters. “It’s a super big deal for my kid.” All of the athletes attribute their progress this season to the volunteer coaches recruited by Challenge Aspen — McCabe Mallin and John Przonek — who have spent every Saturday in training with them. “They’ve pushed me,” said 18-yearold Justin Jolley, who took gold in both the slalom and giant slalom at state. In fact, the success the athletes have experienced this season means that three of them — Jolley, Chris Guay and Knoll Featherstone — are headed to the NASTAR Nationals in Steamboat this week, from March 22-26. In addition to its handicap system, NASTAR has adaptive disciplines for physical and cognitive disabilities. Jolley and Featherstone

WHAT IS SPECIAL OLYMPICS? Special Olympics is a worldwide sports organization for people with intellectual disabilities. People with intellectual disabilities have certain limitations in cognitive functioning and social, communication or self-care skills. The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round athletic training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, so that they can maintain physical fitness while receiving the social and emotional benefits of participating in competitive sports.

even won scholarships from Disabled Sports USA. “I don’t think anyone actually believed me when I said we could qualify for nationals,” Mallin said. “Of course I push them, that’s what a coach is supposed to do.”

A REASON why

A former U.S. Ski Team member and Aspen native, Mallin works with X Games athlete Henrik Harlaut in the slopestyle and big air disciplines. Coaching the Special Olympics is a purely volunteer gig. He could have been at the Oslo X Games on Feb. 28 — where Harlaut took gold in big air — but he decided the Special Olympics tournament was more important for him to be at. For him, coaching and skiing are his world, so volunteering with the

group was a no-brainer. “What better way to give back to the community than do this?” Mallin said. Mallin accompanied Featherstone during the state race, coaching him through the course and giving him tips on how to improve his first run. A bright 17-year-old who wants to study genetic engineering, Featherstone’s family convinced him to participate in Special Olympics with the prospect of a college scholarship. Mom’s just

happy that he’s getting outside. “This has opened up a whole new world for us,” said Charmian Featherstone. While at first resistant to joining the group, Special Olympics has gotten Featherstone, whose parents are Snowmass ski patrollers, back into the sport. He took gold in both his events at state. “I do truly enjoy skiing,” said Knoll. “I’m very good at it. I’ve been skiing

since I was 2 or 3 years old. My favorite part though is the competitiveness.” Guay, a member of Challenge Aspen’s adult team, has competed in Special Olympics for 18 years. The Glenwood Springs resident is Special Olympics’ athlete of the year, and is being inducted into the organization’s hall of fame. Challenge Aspen helps Guay secure a discounted ski pass. “If it wasn’t for Challenge Aspen, I wouldn’t be skiing,” Guay said. David Munk said in addition to Special Olympics, it was important to acknowledge the support of Challenge Aspen and Aspen Skiing Co. in providing access for the athletes to train and enjoy the mountains. “This year’s been a real breakthrough year for the Special Olympics program, and we really owe that to the sponsorship and involvement of Challenge Aspen,” David Munk said. “They’ve provided a real level of support through their volunteer program and also their facilities, their access. “The other key sponsor for us is the Aspen Skiing Co., because without them we wouldn’t have the ability to make this available to athletes and their parents. These families need such a great outlet to be able to develop physically, socially and emotionally. … It really sets a great stage for the future.”

DANCING BEAR ASPEN hosted a progressive tour recently for real estate agents, owners and friends in commemoration of the luxury development’s completion. This summer, the project’s second and final phase will come to a close, bringing its Parkside and Mountainside buildings together. A decade ago, the Parkside Building debuted on the northwest corner of Durant and Monarch with nine three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath residences, and a broad range of amenities. Its Mountainside counterpart, directly across the

street, is slated to debut in June, featuring 10 three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath corner residences offered for fractional ownership along with a whole ownership penthouse. For the progressive party last month, guests were welcomed in the lobby of either building and presented with a passport that was to be stamped at a variety of venues throughout the tour. Along the way, all were treated to wine, cocktails and bites. Caribou Catering served sushi and savory appetizers in select residences and in the Mountainside

UMPHREY’S MCGEE TAKES THREE UMPHREY’S MCGEE HAS become a staple of Aspen’s winter music scene in recent years as the wildly popular Chicago-based sixpiece band has made multi-night runs at Belly Up an annual tradition. The legendary Umphrey’s live shows have re-imagined the scope of improvisational rock music since it formed in 1997 by classmates at the University of Notre Dame. You may call them a jam band, but their brand of jamming isn’t the indulgent guitar noodling you’ll often find from the legions of acts that have attempted to follow in the Grateful Dead’s footsteps. “Don’t get me wrong — if jamming for a half-hour in A minor feels right at the time, I’ll do it,” Umphrey’s guitarist Jake Cinninger told The Aspen Times during one of the band’s many stops in town. “But the idea is to build a complexity in the moment, and create something that sounds untypical. Like you built something.” Cinninger sees Umphrey’s as heirs to Frank Zappa and Miles Davis as much as Phish or the Dead. In concert they pull off their intricate, long-form improvisational versions of their studio songs by keeping eye contact and using hand signals while directing a light show through talkback microphones. It’s a spectacle for the eyes and ears. “We call them baseball cues,” Cinninger says of the on-stage communication. “We can sound like we’re writing music in the moment.” Right now, the band is in a creatively fertile period — in the summer of 2014, Umphrey’s released its first record in three years, “Similar Skin,” and followed it up last spring

with the surprise studio album “The London Sessions,” which featured 10 tracks recorded in a single day at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. The current cross-country tour has seen them dusting off early songs that they haven’t played, sometimes in years. Umphrey’s first played here in 2003 and returned occasionally, including a headlining slot at the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Festival in

2009. Over the last five winters, their annual residencies at Belly Up Aspen have become the hottest winter ticket in town and a highlight of Aspen’s jam-packed cultural calendar. Last winter the band supplemented the Belly Up run with a free show downtown as part of the Aspen Skiing Co.’s annual Hi-Fi Concert Series.

They draw devoted fans from far and wide to the resort for the increasingly rare experience of seeing Umphrey’s bring their massive, intricate sound to a small 450-capacity club. Umphrey’s returns to Belly Up for three sold-out concerts March 17 through 19.

A decree was entered in March 2011 for the surface components of the application. The groundwater component of the application was voluntarily dismissed in August 2013. B. In December 2003, the City of Colorado Springs filed Case No. 03CW320 in the District Court in and for Water Division No. 5, and a related adjudication filing in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (“federal District Court”), pursuant to that court’s continuing jurisdiction in Consolidated Cases No. 2782, 5016 and 5017 (the so-called “Blue River Decree”). These filings were made to adjudicate its plan and method of substitution operations for its Blue River Water Rights as described in the 2003 Memorandum of Agreement Regarding Colorado Springs Substitution Operations with the Colorado River Water Conservation District, the City and County of Denver, the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, the County of Summit, Vail Summit Resorts, Inc., and the Town of Breckenridge, and a related Memorandum of Agreement with the County of Summit, Vail Summit Resorts, Inc. and the Town of Breckenridge (collectively the 2003 MOA). Upon dismissal of the federal District Court action, Colorado Springs continued to pursue adjudication of Case No. 03CW320 by entering into stipulations with various opposers during the diligence period and submitting proposed decrees in November 2011 and September 2012. The federal District Court entered a final decree in November 2012. C. In December 2003, the City of Colorado Springs filed Case No. 03CW314 in the Division 5 Water Court seeking adjudication of absolute and conditional exchange rights to the Blue River Project from various points in the Colorado River basin, including the Homestake Project. During the diligence period, Applicant continued to pursue adjudication of the exchanges described in the case by entering into stipulations with various opposers and submitting a proposed decree in February 2012. The court entered a findings of fact, conclusions of law, judgment and decree in March 2012. D. The City of Colorado Springs, in partnership with the City of Fountain, the Security

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K L Y V March 17, 2016

Water District, and Pueblo West Metropolitan District, is developing the Southern Delivery System (“SDS”) comprising a conveyance system to deliver water (including water derived from the conditional water rights herein) from the Arkansas River main stem to Pueblo West and the Colorado Springs/Fountain/Security area. During this diligence period, Colorado Springs and its partners have concluded the NEPA analysis, executed contracts with the United States Bureau of Reclamation for use of Pueblo Reservoir for conveyance and storage, and obtained a 1041 land use permit from Pueblo County. The SDS partners have also during this diligence period substantially completed construction of the SDS Phase I facilities, including raw water and finished water pipelines, pumping stations, and water treatment plant. SDS expenditures during the diligence period have exceeded $623,633,000. E. During the diligence period, the City of Colorado Springs has expended significant sums upon its integrated water supply system, including conditional water rights. Capital expenditures for Colorado Springs’ water supply system from July, 2008, through January, 2016, exceed $844,965,000. F. The Applicant has continued to pursue development of a joint project or projects as contemplated by the 1998 MOU (“ERMOU”) with Vail Associates, Upper Eagle River Regional Water Authority, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Cypress Climax Mining Company and the Colorado River Water Conservation District. Ongoing engineering and other work associated with the development of the joint MOU project is directly related to development of the water rights at issue, and has included the following: 1. Engineering evaluations to divert water from the Eagle River drainage basin and convey it to Eagle Park Reservoir as documented by Grand River Consulting in the April 15, 2009 report on Camp Hale to Eagle Park Reservoir Water Delivery System, and by Black & Veatch in the July 13, 2009 report on Eagle River to Climax Water Delivery System. 2. Engineering evaluations of two projects (Eagle‐Arkansas Gravity Alternative and Camp Hale to Homestake Reservoir Alternative) to divert water from the Eagle River drainage basin to the headwaters of the Arkansas River as documented by Grand River Consulting in the January 2012 and January 2013 reports on Water Yield Estimates for Homestake Project Expansion Options, and by Black & Veatch in the April 2, 2012 report on Eagle River Drainage Basin Diversion Projects. 3. A reconnaissance-level investigation of reservoir storage options in the lower Homestake Creek valley by Grand River Consulting, RJH Consultants, and ERO Resources in the January 24, 2014 report on Lower Homestake Creek Reservoir Sites. 4. Field activities and an engineering evaluation of preferred reservoir storage sites on Homestake Creek to obtain site-specific geologic data, identify key geologic conditions, and evaluate if there are geologically preferred sites as documented by RJH Consultants in the April 14, 2015 technical memo on the Whitney Creek Phase I Investigation. The work required completion of a U.S. Forest Service Temporary Special Use Permit to allow for Phase I fieldwork, and completion of a U.S. Forest Service Application for Transportation and Utility Systems and Facilities on Federal Lands for planned Phase II field work. 5. The Applicant collaborated with over 40 stakeholders over a year-long planning effort to develop a shared vision and recommendations for restoration and management associated with the Camp Hale Eagle River Headwaters Restoration Project. This effort culminated in an August 21, 2014 Master Plan intended to convey to the U.S. Forest Service desired conditions and recommendations that will help achieve ecological restoration and continuance of other valued uses in the Camp Hale area. 6. The Applicant has continued to pursue development of a joint project or projects as contemplated by the ERMOU with Vail Associates, Upper Eagle River Regional Water Authority, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Cypress Climax Mining Company, and the Colorado River Water Conservation District. These activities include an initial screening study of proposed MOU project alternatives and ongoing feasibility-level evaluations of preferred MOU project alternatives. These activities include active coordination with the National Forest Foundation and U.S. Forest Service to identify potential projects that mutually benefit MOU objectives and wetland restoration through the Camp Hale area. 7. Costs associated with the above activities during the diligence period exceeded $1,384,700. G. During the diligence period the Applicant made capital improvements to structures and facilities of the Homestake Project, including the Homestake collection system, and the Otero Pump Station and Pipeline and expended in excess of $58,873,000 for such capital improvements. H. During the diligence period, the Applicant participated as a stakeholder in the negotiation and development of the Upper Colorado River Wild & Scenic Rivers Stakeholder Group Alternative Management Plan. This Plan is designed to provide a locally based alternative to a federal Wild & Scenic Rivers designation that is intended to balance permanent protection of the outstandingly remarkable values identified by federal agencies for certain segments of the Colorado River with certainty for the stakeholders, water project yield, and flexibility for water users. The Homestake Partners continue to be active as a stakeholder in the implementation of the Plan, which among other things, may affect the development of the Subject Water Rights. I. During the diligence period, the Applicant participated in statewide water planning processes, including the Colorado Water Plan, the Statewide Water Supply Initiative (“SWSI”) Phase II and 2010 update, the Basin Roundtable and Interbasin Compact Committee processes authorized under House Bill 05-1177, and other committees, work groups, and forums through which it protected and promoted the development of the Subject Water Rights to meet the future water supply needs of the Cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs. In these processes, during the diligence period, the Applicant has actively promoted the ERMOU Joint Use Project, which involves the Subject Water Rights as an Identified Project and Process (“IPP”) for inclusion in the Arkansas, Colorado, and South Platte Basin Implementation Plans and the Colorado Water Plan and has identified the development of the Subject Water Rights as a key component of meeting the Cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs’ future water supply needs. J. The City of Aurora is developing its Prairie Waters Project, a large comprehensive water supply, storage, and treatment project in which return flows to the South Platte River from Aurora’s water sources, including from the sources at issue here, may be rediverted. During this diligence period, Aurora has expended over $73,940,000 on the construction of several elements of its Prairie Waters Project. During this diligence period, Aurora filed and has prosecuted applications in Case No. 13CW3088 (decreed on April 22, 2014), Case No. 13CW3065 (decreed on March 2, 2015), and Case No. 15CW3064, which is still pending. All filings were made in Water Division 1 to facilitate this project. K. During the diligence period, the City of Aurora made expenditures in excess of $353,000 for legal services for participation in Water Divisions 1 and 5 cases to protect the rights and interests of Aurora with regard to its water supply system, including these conditional water rights. Additionally Aurora made expenditures in excess of $248,000 for legal services in furtherance of developing additional water rights for its system. L. During the diligence period, the City of Aurora has expended significant sums on its water supply system. Total capital expenditures for Aurora’s water supply system from February, 2010 to February, 2016 exceed $280,562,000, including expenditures in excess of $26,583,000 for the water supply system to which the Homestake Project and the conditional water rights that are the subject of this case are directly physically integrated. M. During the diligence period, the City of Aurora has negotiated and executed a Recovery Action Plan Participation Agreement with the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, and a Ruedi Insurance Water Cost Participation Agreement with the City and County of Denver. The purpose of these agreements is to mitigate the impacts of transmountain diversions to Colorado’s Front Range in order to support the Recovery Implementation Program for Endangered Fish Species in the Upper Colorado River Basin. N. On September 22, 2013, the City of Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 08CW253, Water Division 1, granting a finding of reasonable diligence and making absolute portions of conditional exchange rights. These water rights allow Aurora to exchange certain reusable water from the confluence of Tarryall Creek and the South Platte River to Spinney Mountain Reservoir. O. The City of Aurora spent over $1,162,000 during this diligence period for conversion of its manual utility reading system to a fully automated system. P. The City of Aurora updates its Master Plan every five years to identify water storage, transmission, and pumping system improvements needed to meet future growth. Aurora expended over $124,000 during the subject diligence period on this effort. Q. The City of Aurora performed studies of lawn irrigation return flows (“LIRFs”) throughout Aurora that included various analyses conducted to determine the amount, timing, and location of additional LIRFs within several drainage basins within Aurora’s service area. R. The Applicant reserves the right to identify additional relevant efforts that may be later discovered or to make upward adjustments to amounts expended on certain projects. In particular, the Cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs have extensive water rights portfolios, extensive and complex water supply, collection, treatment and reuse systems, and extensive numbers of agreements, contracts, and leases etc. related to their facilities and the use, reuse and storage of their water rights. The Cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs are involved in many legal actions related to the collection, treatment, reuse and protection of their water rights. Further, the management, protection, and operation of the water rights and the facilities system involve numerous City of Aurora and Colorado Springs Utilities departments and staff members throughout the state. Aurora and Colorado Springs made diligent efforts with regard to this Application to determine and quantify all efforts made by the Cities toward completion of the appropriations and application of the water rights decreed in Case No. 88CW449 to beneficial use. However, it is reasonably possible that relevant efforts or expenditures may have been overlooked or need further upward adjustment. 6. Names and addresses of owner(s) or reputed owners 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: A.

BOOK REVIEW

‘DEEP BLUE’ SINCE HE FIRST APPEARED in “Sanibel Flats” in 1990, Doc Ford, the hero of a series of thrillers by Randy Wayne White, has been living a double life. His quirky, funloving neighbors in the hamlet of Dinkin’s Bay on Florida’s Gulf Coast know him as a marine biologist who sells specimens to schools and laboratories. What most of them don’t know is that he’s part of a shadowy black ops agency — the go-to guy when a threat to national security needs to be gunned down, blown up or “disappeared.” For a quarter-century, Ford has managed to keep his two worlds separate, but they finally collide in “Deep Blue,” endangering the lives of everyone in Dinkin’s Bay. The trouble starts when Ford

concealed bomb, an evil genius, a boat chase, a violent storm and a submarine. As always, the story is populated by familiar Dinkin’s Bay regulars including, most prominently, Ford’s hard-drinking, pot-smoking, Buddhist pal Tomlinson. And as with every Doc Ford story, the writing is tight and the story fast-paced. This series isn’t for readers who prefer their plots to be at least a tad plausible, but fans of far-fetched thriller heroes from James Bond to Jason Bourne will find a lot to like.

is dispatched to the Yucatan to assassinate an American Muslim convert turned terrorist. The assignment goes wrong from the get-go. Somehow, the terrorist and his allies knew Ford was coming and laid a trap for him. Ford figures that out in time, goes for the kill anyway and botches the job. He slips away and returns to his quiet life. But when armed drones buzz Dinkin’s Bay, Ford realizes his enemies have tracked him down and are out for revenge. A former Florida fishing guide, White is no stranger to a fish story, and every Doc Ford novel reads like an old salt telling a whopper.
