POPULAR MUSIC THE INAUGURAL Bluebird Art + Sound takes over Snowmass Village from June 30 to July 2. The new festival of music and art opens Friday with Shreveport’s the Seratones and the Southern rock band DriveBy Truckers playing Fanny Hill. The Truckers have been traveling the country since last summer supporting “American Band,” its overtly political album that uses a punkedup Southern rock sound in service of social justice. It’s a fitting soundtrack for a new festival that’s aiming to unite people through socially conscious art and music. “It did occur to me that maybe we are in a unique position to speak to this with our accents,” Truckers singer, songwriter and guitarist Mike Cooley said before a concert in Aspen last summer. On Saturday, the festival opens a free, immersive and interactive art experience that will fill a 2,600-square-foot tent in Base Village. Curated by Los Angeles-based artist Jesse Fleming, the group show features contemporary artwork themed around “self vs. other.” “We’re designing it like an installation itself,” Fleming said of the massive art experience, filled with sound, video, still art and virtual reality experiences. “It’s meant as one cohesive experience but it’s bracketed by in- and out-points.” Fleming and dancer Laurel Jenkins will premiere their video collaboration “Remember.” The Art Experience also runs all day on Sunday, when Miguel de Pedro (better known as the DJ Kid606) will perform and host a guided meditation. The festival closes Sunday with a party on Fanny Hill that will include performances by DJ Naka G and Berkel Beats. Tickets to the Drive-By Truckers concert range from $30 to $70, available at bluebirdartsound.com. The rest of Bluebird is free.

The Drive-By Truckers will perform Friday, June 30, at Bluebird Art + Sound on Sunday.

CURRENTEVENTS CLASSICAL MUSIC

The Railsplitters will co-headline Wildfest in Woody Creek on Saturday.

FESTIVAL

The Aspen Music Festival’s furst Sunday concert of the season is Sunday, July 2 and will feature an Aspen Festival Orchestra performance of Mahler’s first symphony.

THE 10-WEEK Aspen Music Festival season opens June 29 with a recital by local favorites David Finckel and Wu Han. But the big season kickoff is the opening Sunday concert from the Aspen Festival Orchestra at the Benedict Music Tent on July 2. The orchestra, conducted by Robert Spano, and featuring guest soloist Garrick Ohlsson on piano, will perform Mozart’s piano concerto No. 9 — beginning a summer-long focus on the concerto form — and Mahler’s first symphony. Tickets are $82, available at the Wheeler Opera House and Harris Concert Hall box office and online at www.aspenmusicfestival.com. And, as always, lawn seating is free.

WILDERNESS WORKSHOP’S annual Wildfest returns to Hunter S. Thompson’s Owl Farm on Saturday, July 1. The annual benefit for the conservation watchdog will feature live performances by Boulder’s The Railsplitters, Portland-based World’s Finest and Carbondale’s Pearl & Wood. They’re the centerpiece of an eclectic Wildfest evening that will also include local artist Eliza Rogan livepainting an inspirational mural and kids’ activities. Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, will discuss conservation in the Trump era, and a Take Action Tent will host a “social media swarm” where participants can send messages to congress members about public lands.

Tickets are $45, available at www.wildernessworkshop.org.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

1921 ASPEN

“IT WAS SOME FOURTH DESPITE THE WEATHER,” declared the Aspen DemocratTimes on July 5, 1921. “Old Aspen Town never falls down no matter what must be overcome. The abominable weather yesterday would have knocked out a Fourth of July celebration in any other place than Aspen. All night the 3rd and late into the morning of the 4th it rained in torrents. Along toward noon it let up and the Elks’ band paraded the streets discoursing patriotic air which acted like a tonic on our people. At 1 o’clock in the afternoon the official program of sports was begun at Wagner Park despite the drizzling rain and the mud. While the several events were being pulled off the Elks’ band furnished stirring music. The Glenwood Springs baseball team failed to arrive owing to the condition of the roads but a spirited game was put up by two home teams. The bulldogging contest and auto races were called off. The matinee at the Isis in the afternoon drew a large audience. In the evening, the weather having cleared, the Elks’ band gave an open-air concert at the Jerome. Then came the picture show at the Isis, which was packed to its capacity. The Fourth of July festivities concluded with a grand military ball at Fraternal hall, which was a crowning feature as the hall was well filled ‘till the last number.” The photograph above includes J.W. Hetherly, Benjamin Kobey, Charles Wagner (the mayor of Aspen), Hilder Hoaglund Anderson, and Josephine Hetherly watching the 1921 Fourth of July parade. They are standing in front of the former Aspen Times building on Main Street. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

GET OUT: CANVAS ‘SWAG’ TENT NESTLED IN A CANVAS COCOON atop a cush foam mattress, I feel cozy and warm. The world around me is shut out — no wind, no lights, and no pointy rocks from below. That’s how you feel inside an Outback Swags Pioneer tent. It’s complete isolation and a sense of security in the waterproof canvas shelter. The Swag provides an all-in-one sleeper that’s about as easy to set up as it is to pronounce. Unroll the conical tent with footprint and

mattress included, insert three half-circle poles and two stakes, and you’re set for sleep almost anywhere. It’s a great option for cooler climes, bad weather, and rough terrain. But the Swag is heavy, and it’s less ideal as temperatures and humidity go up. What is a Swag? They originated in Australia in the 19th century out of necessity. Transient farm laborers tucked all their belongings into a

canvas bedroll and hiked from job to job. The modern Swag draws off the same principle of tucking the entire camp setup into one simple roll. The similarities end there. It’s still canvas, but the Outback Swags Pioneer uses poles to create a canopy, a PVC vinyl floor to block moisture and pokey sticks, and a removable top flap for ventilation. With Outback Swags’ Pioneer tent you get a shelter made of 12-oz. rip-stop canvas and a foam mattress. It costs $229. Altogether, the Swag system weighs 20 lbs. This is obviously not designed for hiking. Indeed, the portable home is about as heavy as an eight-person tent. But packed down in its bag the Pioneer tent measures just over 3 feet long. Unfurled and pitched, it extends 7 feet. Try a swag out if you’re looking for a new kind of camping experience. It’s a simple, cozy, and near-bombproof sleep system that’s one-ofa-kind.

WINEINK

THE WINES OF GERMANY PARDON MY IGNORANZ!

I HAVE A FRIEND who served in the U.S. 7th Army with distinction as an MP at the now shuttered Campbell Barracks in Heidelberg, Germany. During his stint there he developed what became a life-long love affair with German wines. I occasionally have had an opportunity to share in his passion, but it is clear he knew his muse KELLY J. significantly better HAYES than I. In fact, of all the world’s superior wine regions, I likely know less about the wines of Germany than any other. And I’m not alone in my ignorance. In 2016, Germany exported $1 billion worth of wine, putting it sixth among global producers, just behind New Zealand and just ahead of Argentina. But no doubt, in the U.S., most wine drinkers are much more familiar with the sauvignon blancs of the Kiwis and the Argentine malbecs. Why? Well, I think that language and labeling play a big part in our national lack of understanding. Ask those who study for wine exams, like the Masters of Wine or the Master Sommelier exams, and they will quickly tell you that no region is harder to make sense of than Germany. Even Italy, with its curious wine regulations and hundreds, if not thousands of varieties, seems easier. Then there is the history of German wine in America. While German wines were once considered among the best on Earth, a couple of world wars and then the proliferation of sickly semi-sweet Liebfraumilch wines sold under the Blue Nun label in mass quantities, turned American palates in different directions. And yet the wines of Germany can be magnificent. More so now than perhaps at any time in the nation’s 2,000-year history of wine production. Last year, on a brief trip to Berlin, I stumbled into a restaurant/winebar called Rutz

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

Jun e 29 - Jul y 5 , 2017

whose menu was built around German wines and foods that paired well with them. I ordered two different kinds of sausages and asked our waiter to pair a wine with the disparate plates, assuming she would bring a red from the German equivalent of pinot noir, which is called spätburgunder, or perhaps a dornfelder, a dark, spicy grape that has a following. But no, she pulled from the prodigious wine wall a dry riesling that she said would go perfectly with the two plates, one of which included a blood sausage. I have to say that pairing was my favorite part of that Berlin trip. While I have a lot to learn about Germany and its wines, here are a few facts to help illuminate us both: THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT GERMAN WINE 1. Germany is a white wine country

Nearly 60 percent of the vineyard plantings in Germany are devoted to white wines with the majority of that being held by riesling. MüllerThurgau and silvaner are other white grape varieties that are prevalent. The aforementioned spätburgunder is the most widely planted red wine grape.

2. German wines are products of a cool climate

The most significant wine regions of Germany are located in the southwest qurter of the nation, but they are still, for the most part, quite cool. The Mosel, Germany’s most famed and picturesque wine region, hugs the hills cut by the Rhine River for over 100 miles. At its northern end, in Koblenz, the region reaches 50 degrees of latitude, placing it even further north than Champagne, another cool climate region.

3. Not all German wines are sweet

While there was a time that German wines exported to America were super sweet and heavy in residual sugar, the trend is now toward dry and off-dry wines. This means that they are pure, steely and crisp on the palate and are excellent for pairing

with food. Asian food, especially sushi or spicy Thai and even Szechuan Chinese foods, go well with these lower alcohol wines. 4. German wine labels provide a wealth of information.

Region, ripeness, grape variety, vintage, wine style, producer name, grower name and the “level” of a wine can all be determined by looking at the label on a bottle of German wine. This is very German. The problem is figuring out where each piece of information lives and then getting past the umlats and the German wine laws.

5. Can You Say? That would be Prädikat.

Prädikat is the designation for the top tier, the highest quality German wines. Ripeness is a big deal in German wines. In the Prädikat system there are six levels of ripeness, ranging from Kabinett (bone dry wines) to the sweet dessert Trockenbeerenauslese or TBA wines. Just when you thought it was easy, right?

UNDER THE INFLUENCE 2010 MARKUS MOLITOR ZELTINGER SONNENUHR AUSLESE* RIESLING MOSEL This late harvest riesling from one of the premier Mosel based winemakers comes from ungrafted old vines (some older than 80 years) that are planted on stony, steep hillsides. The wines are balanced, beautiful, and while sweet, they are certainly not cloying. It was golden nectar in a glass.

ASK THOSE WHO STUDY FOR WINE EXAMS, LIKE THE MASTERS OF WINE OR THE MASTER SOMMELIER EXAMS, AND THEY WILL QUICKLY TELL YOU THAT NO REGION IS HARDER TO MAKE SENSE OF THAN GERMANY. EVEN ITALY, WITH ITS CURIOUS WINE REGULATIONS AND HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF VARIETIES, SEEMS EASIER.”

FOOD MATTERS

INSTA-BURNOUT

A SOCIAL MEDIA DIET DURING PRIME TIME: COOL OR CRAY? WHEN THE HANGOVER wore off on Tuesday, I was shocked to realize: I didn’t post a single food photo to social media during the entire Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. I’m not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed by my non-contribution to the digital conversation in real time. (I did post a few snaps later, but mostly because my Facebook profile AMANDA RAE pic was long overdue for an update. However, I do know that I have zero regrets. I’m feeling burned out by technology lately, and I’m sure that I enjoyed a fuller, richer festival experience as a result. Despite avoiding social media apps, I did document my days and nights by taking iPhone snapshots, voice recordings, and scribbling notes like mad using old-fashioned pen on paper (Autocorrect and/ or fast-moving fingers are surefire ways to ruin a scribe’s attempt at accuracy). I wanted my eyes open to the smorgasbord of chefs and experiences unfolding around me at every turn, not focused on a screen. The Classic always seems to unfold at warp speed. Then, because it’s drenched in booze and rich bites, suddenly, it’s over. Besides, if my fingers aren’t constantly slicked with pork fat or truffle butter, sticky from Patrón popsicles, or holding a wineglass, I’m not truly enjoying. In a way, I hoped to create my own social experiment in analog form. I collected brochures and business cards, but kept the tap-tapping to a minimum. As unprogressive as it sounds, ditching the digital leash freed my mind from distraction. Then I scrolled through Instagram the week after the festival, and I began to wonder: Did I blow a chance to earn international followers or beautify my feed with a mosaic of food porn? Did my self-imposed evacuation from social media make me seem unprofessional as a “food columnist”? Were my editors disappointed? Did my

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

Jun e 29 - Jul y 5 , 2017

food-loving peers consider me lazy? Had I squandered potential networking opportunities by going offline? Did I even care? Perhaps one of the reasons why I ended up eschewing social media in the first place: I was lucky enough to enjoy the bucket-list experience of attending a Top Chef Denver Elimination Challenge taping at an undisclosed location on Friday morning. The production lasted from 10 a.m. until about 2:30 p.m., during which time all 200 guests were instructed to keep cell phones hidden. This was partly due to the media embargo and non-disclosure agreement we were all required to sign (episode airs in February), but certainly for filming purposes, too. The organizers advised us that anyone caught with a device out of bag would be escorted off the property immediately. I didn’t notice anyone succumb to the urge; fear of ejection from the set trumped cultural instinct to text. The forced digital blackout for the first half of Friday set the tone for the rest of my weekend. I embraced it. Then I kept it going. Millennials might call what happened cray; I call it critical for mental wellbeing. Last fall I wrote a cover story for this magazine on digital detox (“Unplug to Recharge,” Oct. 6, 2016), and the concept has been percolating in my brain ever since. Once at a yoga retreat at White Sands National Monument in southern New Mexico, I managed to keep my phone dark for more than a day. While the test didn’t fully gel until I arrived at the park, which conveniently lacked cell service, I remember driving back to Colorado feeling super calm. I used an atlas for the first time since 2011, and I only got lost once, because I wanted a snack in Santa Fe. Prohibiting myself access to restaurant recommendations online, I asked a shopgirl for her personal recommendation. And directions. I didn’t photograph the tamales. I didn’t shoot texts or scroll through email while I ate. I didn’t Google random questions

to which I felt an urge to discover answers rightthisminute. I simply sat down, ate my lunch, and observed fellow diners. Many had devices in hand or on the table; some sat, eyes glued toward screens instead of on each other. Silent. (According to Pew Research Center, about half of American adults will break out a device to beat boredom in public. What does that say about the state of coupledom in the US?) I know I’m not alone in feeling increasingly stressed out by the subtle, societal pressure to share photos and captions of every morsel consumed and moment enjoyed. But our collective tech obsession is screwing up our health and happiness via afflictions such as “tech neck,” melatonin-production disruption, and increased anxiety, ADHD, and depression. In a recent study, excessive screen time was linked to loneliness, social isolation, and even reduced immune function. Of course, there are varied views on technology’s role in the food sphere. Some chefs and restaurateurs discourage use of cell phones in the dining room. In 2013, one LA restaurant offered a 5 percent discount to guests who surrendered their devices to the hostess. Others, such as UK chef-owner Darren Yates, have gone so far as to ban cell phones entirely. Danny Meyer, one of the first big-time restaurateurs to curb cell phone use in his New York City restaurants in 1999, has

since changed his policies—Union Square Café now offers high-speed wifi. (The hostess I spoke to told me that, back then, it was more a sound issue.) Ditto with Mario Batali at Babbo. Due to the recent rise of Instagram “influencers” and less-intrusive ways in which bloggers are able to get the shot, most restaurants embrace customers using their devices. It’s free socialmedia marketing, after all. Some venues offer special deals or discounts in exchange for Instagram posts or Yelp reviews; how do these posts affect the honest portrayal of a real experience? And how often does someone post a picture of a plate before they’ve even tried a bite — what if the dish, though fodder for beautiful imagery, sucks IRL? Unless one’s goal is to become an Instagram powerhouse, it seems like a lot of time is being turned away from what matters most: savoring the moment. I felt content about my socialmedia coma…until I discovered that I’d eliminated my eligibility to win a stay at The Little Nell because I didn’t Instagram a hashtagged photo from a media breakfast. I learned about my gaffe by — you guessed it — scrolling through Instagram! Another reminder, to me, that sometimes ignorance really is bliss. @amandaraewashere

SPECIALTY WATERS Over the last couple of years, something has happened to water. Companies are playing with its natural properties to claim added benefits. There’s a company called HFactor Hydrogen infusing its pouched water with molecular hydrogen, reportedly to boost anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Why? Well, according a study cited by Formula Four, all of that helps clear lactic acid, making for a faster recovery after exercise. It also claims a boost in endurance, stamina, mental clarity and, wait for it, decreased hangover effects. Another company is doing enhanced waters with pomegranate seed oil, reportedly good for inflammation and to help with digestive. Another company took an entirely different twist on water and it’s not necessarily to sip or improve health. And the best part: It can all be frozen into ice cubes for cocktails.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

Paul Bloom during his recent Aspen Ideas Festival talk on empathy.

THE FAULT OF EMPATHY

ONE PSYCHOLOGIST’S TAKE ON SHARING SOMEONE ELSE’S FEELINGS WHAT’S SO WRONG with empathy? As it turns out, there’s a lot. In our society, we seem to have a mantra we stick to pretty strongly. We believe that in order to understand someone, we must walk a mile in their shoes. But what if this weren’t the case. What if putting ourselves into the exact situation as someone else, in hopes of BARBARA PLATTS understanding them, wasn’t only an inconvenience, but a particularly bad thing to do? This is the argument that psychologist Paul Bloom brings up in his recent book “Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion.” In this book, and in numerous lectures and interviews he’s given this year — most recently at the Aspen Ideas Festival — he shows that empathy is a horrible guide for morality. I first heard of Bloom and his theory in a two-hour long segment of Sam Harris’ podcast. The episode is titled “Abusing Dolores.” They talked at length about his book and the research he’s done to back up his thesis. Harris and Bloom also dived into topics

PPHOTO BY RICCARDO SAVI/THE ASPEN INSTITUTE

such as artificial intelligence, Westworld (hence the name of the episode), Donald Trump and more — all topics came back to Bloom’s point that empathy may not be the best option. If you’ve got the time, I highly recommend you give this episode a listen at SamHarris.org. This podcast was originally recommended to me by a friend, and it’s probably because they know me a bit too well. I’m empathetic to a fault. Growing up, I had trouble watching movies where kids were bullied or excluded because it would make me actually feel their pain. Even today, among my friends and my family, I often get so involved with what others must be feeling or thinking that I spread myself too thin, trying to please everyone and, ultimately, driving myself into the ground. But that’s always the way I thought I should go about things. Like, if I wasn’t trying to constantly feel and understand the woes of everyone around, I was selfish. Bloom’s take on this method surprised me. In fact, when he first started to describe his thesis on the podcast, I was a bit offended by it. I didn’t understand what could be so wrong about being empathetic toward others. I figured if someone had a lack

of empathy, that must mean they are mean, even villainous. Turns out, a lot of people have that initial reaction to Bloom’s books and talks. They either think he’s practically evil to be against empathy or that he must be making a joke. But, when we zoom in on exactly what empathy is and how it affects us, Bloom has a solid argument for why we should not use it to make decisions. First, it’s not necessary and can often get in the way of actually helping someone. At his lecture at the Ideas Festival, Bloom brought up the scenario of someone saving a child who is drowning. The person rescuing this boy or girl doesn’t need to feel how scary it is to be drowning in order to know the child must be saved. “You know something is right without having to feel the same things as someone else,” Bloom said at his lecture Monday. “You know you have to do the right thing without putting yourself in a person’s shoes who is suffering.” Another reason empathy is not necessary is that the action in itself is not fair; it’s biased. Empathy has no concept of numbers. In fact, in certain situations we may even understand the struggles of one person more than we can the struggles of thousands. Plus, we are

much more likely to be empathetic to those who we relate to or care about. Bloom backs up all these statements in his book with much research, so I’ll let him do the talking there. I’ll finish this column with Bloom’s solution. He states that we must have compassion for others, not empathy. What’s the difference? With empathy, we’re trying to experience someone else’s feelings as if they are our own. In compassion, we work to understand someone’s qualm without being consumed by it. Through compassion, Bloom says, we can be much more reasonable and, ultimately, more helpful. As for me, I would still describe myself as empathetic to a fault. But I make a conscience effort to take a step back from situations or people when I feel myself getting overly consumed by them. I try to remember that I don’t have to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes in order to understand them. Simply knowing what kind of shoes they were wearing when they walked that mile is enough to make me care. Barbara Platts highly recommends checking out Bloom’s book.

VOYAGES

DESTINATION | UNITED STATES

SIGHTSEEING ON A 500-MILE-A-DAY ROAD TRIP? YOU CAN DO IT!

I DROVE ACROSS the country for the first time in 1984, alone in a car without air conditioning and with a radio that stopped working as I crossed into Texas. I took my second cross-country road trip this year, this time in an air-conditioned Honda CRV, with music streaming from my iPhone and my 20-year-old daughter in the passenger seat. I drove with Kelsey from Columbus, Ohio, to her summer internship in Los Angeles — 2,400 miles in four and a half days. We encountered highway construction, accidents and rainstorms but we also managed to take in some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable, tucking in sightseeing and even some pool time despite our nearly 500-milea-day trek. Here’s how we did it. THE DRIVE AND THE STOPS

Day 1: We left Columbus at 8 a.m. and drove 719 miles via Interstate 70 to Topeka, Kansas, through construction in Indiana

and Illinois, rainstorms in St. Louis and Kansas City, and traffic accidents. We’d planned 10 hours of driving, but didn’t pull into the Fairfield Inn until 13 hours later. We ate takeout from Wendy’s — burgers and fries — standing up in our hotel room to ease the kinks in our backs from sitting so long. Day 2: Clear skies, dry roads and little traffic. We sped past the lush Flint Hills outside Manhattan, Kansas, through the flat lands of western Kansas and into Denver. After 630 miles and climbing 7,000 feet we arrived in Vail. Most businesses in this high-end resort (including a couple of mink coat stores) were closed because it was after ski season and before Memorial Day. But we found a creekside patio table and meal at Sweet Basil before turning in at the luxurious Tivoli Lodge (offseason rates via Booking.com made it affordable). We wished we would’ve had the time and energy to hike the snowcapped mountains. If we had, we might

have needed the container of oxygen in our hotel room ($19.99) to offset the effects of the altitude. Day 3: After a day of mountain driving, we reached Utah’s Bryce Canyon National Park. We skipped the cowboy dinner show, one of several dining options offered along with lodging at a complex just outside the park. Instead we headed to the park, arriving at 5 p.m., which meant few visitors clogging the 13 viewpoints along a 38-mile loop drive. We made three stops, ending at Inspiration Point, home to rust-colored, pinnacleshaped rocks called hoodoos that spike upward from the ground. Day 4: We hit the road by 7:15 a.m. and reached Zion National Park two hours later. The drive into the park winds down into the canyon, past spectacular, soaring, red-hued sandstone walls, through a mile-long tunnel to a visitor’s center. Shuttle buses take visitors through the park. We stopped only at Weeping Rock to see the hanging gardens

created by dripping streams and at the lodge for a tasty lunch. Back in the car around 1 p.m., we were in Las Vegas three hours later. We stayed off the strip, at a Marriott next to the Convention Center. After a couple hours at the pool, with drinks and appetizers, we went by cab to The Venetian to gawk at the pricey stores. At the Bellagio we saw the colorful Dale Chihuly glass sculptures and grabbed dessert at Jean Philippe’s patisserie, then took Uber back to our hotel. Day 5: We forgot to gas up before leaving Las Vegas and got nervous with a quarter-tank left and nothing but desert ahead. Siri said the nearest station was in the roadside town of Jean, about 30 miles ahead, and we limped into the Chevron on fumes. We made it to Pasadena at 1 p.m., tired but proud of ourselves. We ended our road trip with a family dinner that night. My father, uncle, brother and sisterin-law live in southern California and hosted us at the Terrace restaurant at the Langham resort. PREPARATION AND TIPS

AAA provided guidebooks and Google Maps was indispensable in planning the route. We had a mechanic look at the car before we left, getting new spark plugs and an air filter. Hotels inside and outside national parks fill up, so book ahead. In general, hotels seemed to be a better option than Airbnb for the few hours we had each night. TripAdvisor and Booking.com were useful. National park entrance fees vary. We bought an annual pass for $80 which Kelsey can use while in California this summer. The pass has paid for itself in less than a month.

“THE DRIVE INTO THE PARK WINDS DOWN INTO THE CANYON, PAST SPECTAULAR, SOARING, RED-HUED STANDSTONE WALLS, THROUGH A MILE-LONG TUNNEL TO A VISITOR’S CENTER ... WE STOPPED ONLY AT WEEPING ROCK TO SEE THE HANGING GARDENS CREATED BY DRIPPING STREAMS AND AT THE LODGE FOR A TASTY LUNCH.”

SUMMER DAYS

MAY SELBY

AS THE OLD ADAGE GOES (and is repeated so frequently it’s not all that original anymore), people come to Colorado for the winter and stay for the summer. With days like these, there’s no reason to debate this. Summer 2017’s off to a delightful start as evidenced in this round up of just a few of the fun and aweinspiring events and activities of late. On June 12, the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies hosted its annual membership dinner, Picnic on the Preserve, at Hallam Lake. Members, staff and friends of ACES gathered at the 25-acre nature preserve in the heart of downtown for drinks, a gourmet dinner of local food from ACES at Rock Bottom Ranch, and live music. To join ACES to support environmental education in our valley and take part in special events like this one, visit www.aspennature.org.

On June 14, the Aspen Art Museum (AAM) presented a barbecue for members and special guests with artists Peter Fischli and Wade Guyton, coinciding with the installation of their new exhibit, “Wade Guyton Peter Fischli David Weiss,” open now through Nov. 26. Joining Wade and Peter were their studio assistants, the AAM installation crew and the AAM board of trustees. Set amidst its airy Roof Deck Sculpture Garden, the event served as a revival of the AAM Contemporaries, a membership group for those interested in exploring today’s global art scene with private receptions, art talks, exhibition walk-throughs and more.

THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGSâ&#x20AC;¦ compiled by Jeanne McGovern

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

Jun e 29 - Jul y 5 , 2017

YOU’RE HERE IN ASPEN. We’re here in Aspen. So, clearly we have at least one thing in common: We LOVE Aspen. So do a lot of people, apparently. In fact, Aspen is one of the “Best Places to Visit in the USA,” according to vacation-destination rankings in U.S. News and World Report. But the rankings only put Aspen in the top-20 list. We beg to differ. We think Aspen is No. 1. Here are 20 reasons why — beginning with five must-do summer activities, followed up by a list of our favorite things.

FESTIVALS, FESTIVALS, FESTIVALS

We can’t think of another place with more summertime festivals than Aspen. Beginning with the Aspen Fringe Festival in early June and wrapping up with Filmfest in late September, there is a festival just about every week in summer. Aspen Ideas Festival, Snowmass Rendezvous Craft Beer Festival, Mac and Cheese Festival, Jazz Aspen Labor Day Festival — this is just the tip of the iceberg ... you get the picture.

THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER

The hills around Aspen are most certainly alive with the sound of music. From the Benedict Music Tent to Fanny Hill in Snowmass to Bluegrass Sundays atop Ajax, and from Belly Up Aspen to the JAS Cafe at the Cooking School of Aspen to students playing for pennies on the downtown pedestrian malls, our small town plays host to musical acts of all types. Really, where else can you find classical, jazz, rock, bluegrass and more — all in one day? And if one day isn’t enough, remember this: several of Aspen’s musical offerings are weeks long (Aspen Music Festival), ongoing (free concerts on Thursday nights and even some Saturdays in Snowmass), and weekend affairs (Jazz Aspen Labor Festival). So really, what more can a music-loving local or visitor — or even just the casual music fan — want in a town? Not much, in our humble opinion. Happy listening ... enjoy the sounds of summer.

EAT, DRINK (AND BE MERRY)

For a small town, Aspen is home to some serious big city eats and drinks. It all begins with the Food & Wine Classic and trickles down to the daily grind. From fine dining and bustling nightlife to family fare and picnic baskets, Aspen in summer has something for everyone when it comes to food and drink. Our suggestion: walk the downtown core and stop — often — to see what delights await. For example,

COURTESY AND ASPEN TIMES FILE PHOTOS

Here are 20 reasons why we think Aspen is No. 1 — beginning with five must-do activities, followed by a list of our favorite things. And while no one person could explore every nook and cranny of our diverse town and the surrounding backcountry, it hasn’t stopped us from trying – and it shouldn’t stop you. You won’t be sorry ... we never are after a day in the great outdoors or an evening spent soaking in the sights and sounds. a one-block loop around the dancing fountain on Hyman Avenue offers more than two dozen options, serving up everything from sushi and suds to pastas and pinots. An added bonus in summer: most restaurants and bars have outdoor seating, which means you can eat, drink, see and be seen.

a map and go. A few favorites, by sport: hike the Lost Man Loop up Independence Pass; mountain bike through the Hunter Creek Valley or road bike to the Maroon Bells; fish the Gold Medal waters of the Frying Pan; paddle the Roaring Fork River; camp at Difficult; climb up Independence Pass; golf the Aspen municipal course. And this is just the start. Truly, no one person could explore every nook and cranny of our diverse town and the surrounding backcountry. But that hasn’t stopped us from trying — and it shouldn’t stop you. Head to a local outfitter or sporting goods shop to get the lowdown on how to explore and enjoy the area safely, and then get out there. You won’t be sorry ... we never are after a day in the great outdoors.

ROAD TRIP

Yes, this is a story about Aspen in summer. And how great Aspen in summer can be. But really, what adventure would be complete without a great road trip? None. So for those of us who toil in town day in and day out, the thought of a road trip makes us appreciate the fact we get to come home to Aspen even more. A few of our favorites, all within a two-hour drive: Ruedi Reservoir, up the Frying Pan past Basalt, for some boating, fishing, stand-up paddleboarding and more; Redstone/Marble, for a true small-town experience in a quaint mountain setting; the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, for thrills and chills on the rollercoaster rides and a look into our deep past in the onsite caverns; and Leadville, over Independence Pass, for a taste of the Old West (especially if you happen to hit it over Boom Days, the town’s annual celebration of all that is Leadville).

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

When it comes right down to it, what Aspenites love most about summer in Aspen is what actually surrounds the town of Aspen: the great outdoors. Nestled in eastern edge of the Roaring Fork Valley — a dead-end in winter — Aspen in summer is flanked by all that Mother Nature has to offer. Hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, camping, climbing, golfing ... the list goes on and on. Our advice to enjoying all that the area has to offer? Grab

“I love how long the days last.” Erica Robbie, reporter “I like that Aspen has so many activities because it disperses people better on hiking and biking trails. The events hosted by the Aspen Music School, Aspen Institute and countless other organizations mean you don’t have everyone in town for the same reasons. While some trails are getting crowded, it’s amazing that you can still find solitude on many others.” Scott Condon, reporter

“What do I love about summer? Flip-flops. Quick errands, a bike ride into town or a leisurely walk command nothing more of my feet than flip flops. No more laundry loads full of stinky wool socks or dirty ski socks. In the summers, socks come in only for running/hiking, while the greatest pleasures come from letting my dogs bark after they’ve been suffocated by cotton and wool all winter. Now that’s summer living.” Rick Carroll, managing editor 24

“The magical vibe. There are so many things to do see and do in Aspen in the summer, but just feeling the goodness of a mountain town is what it’s all about – it’s the energy on the outdoor patios, the gondola running to the Sundeck, classical music coming from the music tent where people are picnicking on the lawn, the sound of the Rio Grande river rushing through town, the announcers during rugby tournaments or volleyball matches, the sounds of kids running through the Cooper St. fountain – everywhere you turn, there are people just enjoying this beautiful place.” -Samantha Johnston, publisher “Every day that passes is one more day closer to winter.” Hank Carter, adverting rep “Just being outdoors. Hiking, biking, camping in the surrounding backcountry; eating, drinking, people-watching anywhere downtown; playing with my kids, barbecuing with friends, walking the dog. It’s all good, as long as your outdoors enjoying the Aspen summer.” Jeanne McGovern, Aspen Times Weekly editor

“You really can do two if not three vacation-esque things in a day, with very little hassle and transportation concerns. Biking then fishing. Early fishing then rafting, rafting and biking. Golf then rafting. Rafting and hiking, golfing and fishing with a touch of biking. The longer days make for a pace you can set yourself. And, of course, the sunsets and drinks on the patios start another level of vacation.” David Krause, editor “I love Aspen’s obsession with Rosé; sitting on a patio, floating a river, toasting an adventurous day — pink wine is always appropriate for summertime in Aspen.” Amy Laha, advertising rep “MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE SUMMER IS HIKING AND BEING OUTSIDE. I LOVE THAT IS STAYS LIGHT LATE AND I CAN EAT DINNER OUTSIDE SOMEWHERE IN TOWN AFTER A NICE LONG HIKE. JUST SO MUCH FUN. I ALSO LIKE THAT I FINALLY GET TO SEE MY NEIGHBORS, PEOPLE STAY INSIDE A LOT MORE IN THE WINTER AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.” ASHTON HEWITT, ADVERTISING DIRECTOR

“Believe it boils down to freedom. Freedom to hike all over the mountains, freedom to get in the streams and on the rivers, freedom to run and jump in the parks and in the

fields, freedom from layers of clothing and heavy boots . As beautiful as winter is, one feels restricted when not skiing. How enjoyable to be outside for hours amongst all the varied flowers and feeling the warmth of summer on your body.” Dottie Wolcott, office manager

“I love the road biking accessibility from the core of Aspen; Maroon Bells, Ashcroft and Independence Pass are all classic road rides.” Maria Wimmer, distribution manager

“Late afternoon float down the Roaring Fork through the North Star Preserve. Put in near the Wildwood School and get out at the bridge on the west end of the preserve. Pristine landscape and lots of wildlife.” David Laughren, director of business development “Being outside — outdoor dining, hiking the ski mountains to see them in summer.

BELLY UP’S BIG FOURTH OF JULY WEEK AS BELLY UP ASPEN has earned a national reputation as one of the best small clubs in the U.S. and become a destination for some of the biggest bands on Earth over the past 12 years, it’s buzziest time has tended to be the build up to New Year’s Eve. Or, more specifically, the stretch between Christmas and the New Year — that annual shiny, sparkly, Champagne-popping period in the Aspen calendar. Everybody in town chatters about who the club will land, whether they can top last year’s artists, if the Jay-Z and Beyonce rumor is true this time around. But the Fourth of July week has often been just as splashy as New Year’s. The club, in recent years, has built a run of high-caliber superstar Independence Day shows around an annual two-night stand from Thievery Corporation. This informal residency brings the Washington, D.C.-based collective to town for unpredictable concerts that blend world and electronic music and a rotating cast of characters and guest musicians. Here’s the rundown on this year’s stellar Fourth of July week at Belly Up:

to become the pied pipers of world music. It just happened that way because the pair’s listening tastes skew toward the eclectic. “I don’t think we set out to do that,” Garza told The Aspen Times before one of its many swings through town. “It reflected what we were listening to — Brazilian, Jamaican, jazz, soundtracks from the ’60s and ’70s, and that seeped into what we do.” The band, regulars here and on the festival circuit, have opened up many a listener’s ears to new genres, always bringing an army of talented guests and sampling souds from the Middle and Far East, South America, hip-hop and dub.

doubt Popper still has it. He takes the stage at Belly Up with the blues band that’s made him a rock icon over the past three decades. The intimate Aspen show comes on the heels of Blues Traveler’s big annual Fourth of July blowout at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where they’d headlined on Independence Day since 1994 (this year’s Red Rocks lineup also boasts Rusted Root, Spin Doctors and The Samples).

FLUME, JULY 6, SOLD OUT

Rolling Stone recently called Flume’s pop-inflected future bass sound “EDM’s sound of 2017.” The 25-year-old Australian DJ broke out five years ago with a selftitled album and pumped out a steady stream of creative remixes – tackling acts like Lorde, Arcade Fire and Disclosure.

THOMAS JACK, JULY 1, $55-$85

The Australian DJ and producer may not have invented “tropical house,” but he did name it. The 24-year-old blew up on the EDM scene with laid-back songs that melded the club-ready sounds of house music with touches of classical guitar and steel drums, also dropping in saxophones, flutes and pianos. The sunny, beach-friendly vibe first found listeners in Jack’s remixes of songs by bands like Of Monsters and Men and Denver’s One Republic, but soon moved into original compositions. He’s become a local favorite since his Belly Up debut in 2015. THIEVERY CORPORATION, JULY 3 & 4, $98-$255

Like You,” from his sophomore album “Skin,” won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. BUSH, JULY 7, $85-$285

The genre-hopping holiday week at Belly Up closes with the ’90s alt-rock icons, the Gavin Rossdale-fronted British outfit behind the decadedefining album “Sixteen Stone.” After splitting up after the turn of the millennium and going silent for seven years, Bush reunited in 2010. In March they released “Black and White Rainbows,” their third album since getting back together. While they’re touring in support of the new record, Gen X-ers looking for a rock fix will surely get some of the classics to sing along to at this hotly anticipated Friday night show. atravers@aspentimes.com TOP TO BOTTOM: Bush Thomas Jack Blues Traveler

The source of replacement, the Wendi Smith Reservoir structure, will remain the same as will the timing of replacement releases.

PURSUANT TO C.R.S., §37-92-302, AS AMENDED, YOU ARE NOTIFIED THAT THE FOLLOWING PAGES COM21. PRISE A RESUME OF THE APPLICATIONS AND AMENDED APPLICATIONS FILED WITH THE WATER CLERK FOR WATER DIVISION 5 DURING THE MONTH OF MAY 2017. The water right claimed by this application may affect in priority any water right claimed or heretofore adjudicated within this division and owners of affected rights must appear to object and protest within the time provided by statute, or be forever barred. 17CW3130 GARFIELD, MESA AND PITKIN COUNTIES, FOUR MILE CREEK. Application for Change of Water Right and to Amend Augmentation Plan. Applicant: West Divide Water Conservancy District, P.O. Box 1478, Rifle, CO 81650, c/o Edward B. Olszewski, Esq., Olszewski, Massih & Maurer, P.C., P.O. Box 916, Glenwood Springs, CO 81602, (970) 928-9100. The Applicant seeks alternate points of diversion for the Four Mile Canal and Siphon and to amend the plan for augmentation decreed in Case No. 94CW344 (as amended by Case No. 02CW225 and 05CW148), Water Division No. 5, to add additional structures as expressly contemplated in the original decree, and to identify structures no longer covered by the plan for augmentation. Claim for Change of Water Right. Structure: Four Mile Intake of the Four Mile Canal and Siphon. Original Decree: 06/20/1958, CA4613, Garfield County District Court. Legal Description: The point of diversion for the Four Mile Canal and Siphon is located within the SE ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 22, T. 7 S., R. 89 W./, of the 6th P.M. at a point 60 feet from the south section line and 150 feet from the east section line. Source: Four Mile Creek Appropriation Date: 04/22/1957. Amount: 200 c.f.s., conditional. Uses: generation of electric energy, domestic and municipal, industrial, irrigation and stockwatering. Proposed change: Applicant seeks approval of alternate points of diversion and places of use for the Fourmile Canal and Siphon at the points of diversions referenced below in the claim to amend plan for augmentation and incorporated by this reference. The amount of the Fourmile Canal and Siphon right to be changed by this application is 12.09 cfs. Remarks: All alternate points of diversion and places of use are located in Applicant’s Four Mile Creek Service Area and are capable of being augmented by the augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 94CW344, as amended by Case Nos. 02CW225 and 05CW148. The Fourmile Canal and Siphon water right is a conditional water right that was decreed for use in the Divide Creek drainage and, therefore, water users diverting from Fourmile Creek below the point at which the Fourmile Canal and Siphon would divert from Fourmile Creek had no expectation of return flows from the contemplated use of said water right. Structures under Applicant’s augmentation plan will be permitted to divert as alternate points of diversion for the Fourmile Canal and Siphon water right only during the non-irrigation season, defined as November 1 through April 30. Such diversions remain subject to the stipulations, limitations and conditions contained in Case Nos. 94CW344, 02CW225 and 05CW148, Water Division No. 5. Diversions at the alternate points of diversion will be limited to the amount of water legally and physically available at the original point of diversion. Applicant will provide detailed accounting of diversions and depletions to the State and Division Engineers as required by the State and Division Engineers to administer the within change. Measuring devices will be required for all surface and groundwater diversions. Claim for Amendment to Plan for Augmentation. Structures: All structures listed are on Table 1 filed with the Application in the following order of information Owner/Address, Contract No., Structure Name, Amount, Case No. Adjudication Date, Appropriation Date, Depletion Location (A, B, C) ( Locations: A= Above Atkinson, B = Between Atkinson and Fourmile Ditches, C = Between Fourmile Ditch and Smart and Green Ditch), Annual Depletions (AF) and EQR’s to be Augmented.

Amendment to Plan for Augmentation. Applicant seeks to amend the plan for augmentation decreed in Case No. 94CW344, Water Division No. 5, as amended by Case Nos. 02CW225 and 05CW148, to add additional structures as expressly contemplated in the prior decrees. The augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 94CW344 provides a water supply for up to 500 equivalent residential units (EQR) within the Fourmile Creek Basin. Case Nos. 94CW344, 02CW225 and 05CW148 collectively allocated 437.36 of the 500 EQR, leaving 62.64 EQR available for allocation. For purposes of the augmentation plan, one EQR is based on the assumption that 3.5 people live in each residence and use 100 gallons per day per capita for in-house use, and that 3500 square feet of lawn and garden will be irrigated at each residence. Case Nos. 94CW344, 02CW225 and 05CW148 recognized that an EQR may result in up to 0.552 acre feet of annual depletions within the Fourmile Creek watershed. This Amendment to Augmentation Plan adds structures to be augmented and allocates an additional 43.45 EQR to the augmentation plan. Applicant is also removing 11.20 EQR from its augmentation plan as the water allotment contracts covering those depletions have been cancelled. Cancelled contracts are listed on page 2 of Table 1. After this amendment, a total of 469.61 EQRs will be allocated with 30.39 available for future allocation. This Amendment shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and operated in the same manner as the original augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 94CW344, Water Division No. 5, as amended by Case Nos. 02CW225 and 05CW148. Landowner Notification.

Axthelm Company, 827 Bennett Ave., Glenwood Springs, CO 81601. Zilm Transfer Ditch: William M. Zilm 0090 Sunlight Drive, Glenwood Springs, CO 81601. Notices. Per Case No. 94CW344, specific notice of this Application will be provided to Edmund Prehm, Springridge Place Homeowners’ Association and Lazy Diamond A, or their successors. Per paragraph 15.F. of Case No. 05CW148, notice is hereby given of a selective administration. Applicant and William and Charlotte Zilm stipulated, and the Court found in Case Nos. 02CW225 and 05CW148, that Zilms agreed to accept monetary compensation pursuant to contract with West Divide as full compensation for any and all adverse impacts by operation of the West Divide augmentation plan on the Zilms’ hydropower water rights (Atkinson Ditch rights). During the non-irrigation season, when the Zilms’ hydropower rights are the calling rights on Fourmile Creek, the call shall be selectively administered by the Division Engineer so as to not require the replacement of depletions occurring above the headgate of the Atkinson Ditch as a result of diversions by structures included in the West Divide plan for augmentation. The selective administration of the Zilms’ call under their hydropower rights was previously approved by this Court in Case No. 94CW344, and again confirmed in Case Nos. 02CW225 and 05CW148. Pursuant to §3792304(8), C.R.S., the Division Engineer is required to selectively administer the Zilms’ call as required by the decrees in Case Nos. 94CW344, 02CW225 and 05CW148. As used in this case, the terms “selective administration” and “selectively administer” refer to the practice of foregoing the administration of the Zilms’ call against specific, junior water rights that are included in the West Divide augmentation plan while continuing to administer the call against other junior diversions or water rights that are not included in the West Divide plan. Remarks: Approval of the subject Application for Change of Water Right and to Amend Plan for Augmentation will not result in injury to any vested or decreed conditional water rights and should be approved by the Court.

BOOK REVIEW

‘MY GLORY WAS I HAD SUCH FRIENDS: A MEMOIR’ AMY SILVERSTEIN RECEIVED Amy Silverstein received a new heart when was 25 years old, and for the next 26 years she beat the odds, surpassing all expectations for a transplant recipient. Then a single jolt of dizziness warned her that something was terribly wrong; her heart was rapidly giving out. Amy must decide to either hope that she will be lucky enough to receive another donor heart or carry on one breathless step at a time, thankful she outlasted the years she had been promised when she had the transplant. With either decision, months of agonizing pain, nausea, sleepless nights and hospitalization would be in her immediate future.

”My Glory Was I Had Such Friends: a Memoir” Amy Silverstein Harper Wave, 2017

What Amy didn’t expect was a tribe of close friends who spanned all walks of her life to step in and take control. It only took a simple spreadsheet, a few phone calls and a group of determined women who adore Amy to organize a schedule that made sure she would not be alone during her hospital stay. “My Glory Was I Had Such Friends” is, at its core, a book about friendship. Silverstein spares no words honestly describing the endless emotions she felt when friends from work, childhood and her community walked alongside her as she waited for a heart. She acknowledges that she felt anger, guilt and frustration at times, knowing that no one around

her understood the personal trauma she was facing. Yet at the end of the day, Silverstein remarks how each woman brought a different perspective and gift to the hospital room. As different as these friends were, they all had common goals that brought them together: a love for Amy and a desperate desire for her to get a new heart. As a result, friendships deepened in courage and perseverance, and a new understanding was born for what it means to say, “I’m there” — and truly mean it.
