GUEST OPENION

editor’s note | While the Aspen Times Weekly searches for a permanent editor, this space will be filled with the words of guest writers.

THE RECENT decision by the Colorado Mountain College board of trustees to award college President Stan Jensen a fat payout of 500,000 in exchange for his resignation is maddening.

That the resignation deal is cloaked in a confidentiality agreement, hiding any shred of justification from the public eye, is an affront to the college district’s taxpayers and voters as well as CMC’s students, faculty and staff.

The deal, announced Dec. 27, raises plenty of questions.

An open records request filed by the Post Independent has given us some answers about Jensen’s employment contract.

But so far, the trustees have refused to explain why they agreed to pay a severance that is more than three times the amount described in Jensen’s contract.

The relationship apparently has been strained for months, erupting publicly last spring when Spring Valley neighbors

and students realized Jensen had signed a lease months earlier with SourceGas to install a natural-gas compressor station on the Spring Valley campus.

The trustees, reacting to the public uproar, voided the lease but also rejected a second proposed site that many supported. Now CMC faces a costly lawsuit filed by SourceGas after the school reneged.

Since then, the trustees have repeatedly held closed-door meetings, and in early December they hired a Carbondale law firm that specializes in personnel matters.

Which brings us to the actions of Dec. 27, all carried out in secret other than announcing the resignation, the severance and the flimsy explanation that Jensen was no longer a good fit for the college.

If the trustees no longer had confidence in the college’s CEO, why did they not simply fire him, with or without cause, and pay the severance specified in

his contract?

What is the point of what appears to have been a forced resignation, larded with half a million dollars and sealed with a secrecy pledge?

Who is being protected, or what is being shielded from the public eye?

What is the rationale for keeping taxpayers in the dark?

How can voters trust the board when it is hiding its actions?

And why was such an important decision made at a meeting that was attended only by four of the seven board members, in which only three went on the record by casting a vote?

We believe the trustees must show their accountability to voters and taxpayers by explaining what led to this decision. Because as it stands right now, the deal just doesn’t make sense.

VOX POP COMPILED BY MAX VADNAIS

with JOHN COLSON

Obama is correct — we need better gun control laws now I WAS TALKING with my brother on the phone the other day — he’s a National Rie Association member living in Wisconsin — and we got on the subject of guns.

I should note that this topic is one we get to a lot.

My brother, Stuart, is a ďŹ rm believer in the Second Amendment, the one that reads, “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.â€?

I happen to feel the same about the constitutionally ensured right.

I’ve owned guns all my life, starting when I was 12, and my grandfather gave me a .22 caliber. Winchester rie.

Anyway, Stuart and I were talking about President Obama’s determination to make gun control one of the main issues of his second term. “It’s all (baloney) (he used a dierent word),â€? Stuart said. “It just won’t work.â€?

His thinking went along the same lines as the NRA’s, which is the idea that if gun ownership is in any way restricted, only criminals will have guns.

That’s where we parted company, in an amiable but heated way.

Now, it may well be true that no matter what new laws are passed, criminals will continue to get their hands on guns as long as guns are available, legally or illegally.

But another inescapable fact is that the availability of guns makes it easier for anyone, whether lawabiding citizen, criminal or madman, to ďŹ nd, own and use a gun.

And as long as semiautomatic assault ries are easily obtainable on the open market, the vast stock of private armament in the U.S. will continue to grow, dangerously so.

For instance, Adam Lanza, the madman who killed 20 kids and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, would have had a lot harder time arming himself if his mother, Nancy Lanza, had not brought a veritable arsenal into the home.

She had two high-caliber pistols, a couple of traditional hunting ries, and a semiautomatic rie similar to the weapons used by the military in

Afghanistan, according to The New York Times.

Her neighbors apparently considered her a “gun enthusiast.�

Adam reportedly was used to going with his mom to the target range for practice. The implication is that she taught him to shoot and that he knew where the guns were kept and had easy access to them.

He also was mentally unbalanced, a bad combination.

Now, if this nation had laws that, say, banned the sale of high-capacity magazines (30 or more rounds per magazine), her son would not have been able to kill so many, so quickly, including himself.

And, one might ask, what in the hell did his mom need that kind of ďŹ re power for? Was she afraid her ex-husband might storm the house one night, hoping to get laid?

For that matter, what does any normal person need with that kind of ďŹ repower or with armor-piercing ammunition or with high-capacity magazines? There is only one use for these types of weaponry, and that is to kill a lot of people in a short period of time — or at least to fantasize about it.

My last point is directed at the gun lobby and its adherents.

Obama does not want to disarm the citizenry. He wants to ban highcapacity magazines and toughen the nature of background checks on those who buy guns.

He wants to begin a process that, over time, will eat away at the monstrous number of guns in homes and businesses.

Right now, there are an estimated 200 million guns of all types in private hands, according to answers. com. Add police and military weapons to the equation, and there are more like 350 million guns out there — or about one gun for every person in the nation.

That is not, in any way, shape or form, my concept of a “well regulated militia� because the NRA and its cohorts come out shooting at any attempt at regulation.

I support Obama’s eorts because our current situation is untenable, and it’s only going to get worse if we don’t do something now.

‘SKIMMER’ DEVICE AT BANK ATM LED TO THEFT

The Aspen Police Department is investigating the use of a so-called skimmer device that was placed at the ATM of a local bank in the last week of December, resulting in at least three fraud victims who were collectively swindled of thousands of dollars.

Detective Walter Chi said Jan. 17 that so far, none of the victims reporting that their debit-card numbers were hacked was a local resident. He said the skimmer — a small electronic device that copies data from ATM cards or other automatic pay stations such as gasstation credit-card readers — was in place in the ATM lobby of a local bank from Dec. 22 to 29.

Chi declined to identify the Aspen bank where the skimmer was in place.

He advised people to look over their bank accounts, especially transactions since Dec. 22, for anything unusual. He said it was possible that other credit-card readers in the Aspen area may have been similarly compromised.

several fish, knocked an angler off his feet and forced the downvalley migration of a beaver, witnesses reported.

Ice on the river broke up in the Lazy Glen Mobile Home Park vicinity two miles east of Basalt and sent a surge of ice and water downvalley, observers said.

“It was pretty impressive,” said Tim O’Keefe, education director for Roaring Fork Conservancy, a nonprofit organization focused on water-quality and -quantity issues.

The floes occur when ice on the river breaks up and smashes into other ice. Water and ice pile up until the pressure is great enough to bust through.

More ice dams are likely to break up in coming days with higher temperatures. The Roaring Fork River through Snowmass Canyon is still frozen over, as is the Fryingpan River. — Scott Condon

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

GUEST COLUMN

by ANDY STONE

Chris Cassatt, 1946-2013 CHRIS CASSATT, award-winning photographer, designer and, above all — in his mind at least — cartoonist, died Jan. 16 at his midvalley home after a two-month battle with lymphoma. He was 66.

Cassatt’s photographs of Aspen were a major feature of The Aspen Times through the 1970s and ‘80s, and he created a modernized layout of newspaper in the early 1970s, working secretly with then-editor Nick Pabst and launching the design when Publisher Bil Dunaway was out of town — with both men holding their breaths to see if they still had jobs when Dunaway returned. They shouldn’t have worried — their design was a prize-winning success and established the look of the newspaper for decades to come.

But Cassatt’s true passion and greatest success — locally and nationally — was his cartoons.

His most widely known achievements have come in recent years when he has been responsible for the internationally syndicated comic strip “Shoe,” which appears in some 500 newspapers. However, his greatest personal creative success may have been with “Sal A. Mander,” a character born from a Jerome Bar sketch of one of Cassatt’s droopyeyed, pot-bellied Aspen friends.

Cassatt’s naturally subversive sense of humor came out most strongly when he began running his cartoon creation for various local and state offices. After candidate Sal A. Mander was thrown off the ballot in an Aspen mayoral election on the shaky (in Aspen anyway) grounds that he was not a “real person,” Cassatt legally changed his name to Sal A. Mander and ran for Colorado governor in 1978, finishing fifth in a six-candidate contest.

But the most successful of his political campaigns was a write-in campaign in 1980 against incumbent District Attorney Chuck Leidner, whose plans for undercover police operations had offended many in the Aspen community.

Leidner was running unopposed and Cassatt couldn’t resist jumping into the fray. Declaring Leidner to be “a snake,” the Mander campaign used the slogan, “It’s your choice: the lizard or the snake.” The effort also featured a poster by local artist Tom Benton, featuring a Shakespeare quotation: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”

Although Leidner won reelection handily, the brutal campaign against

P H OTO B Y M A RY E S H BA U G H H AY E S

a cartoon character apparently embarrassed him so deeply that he resigned from office shortly after the election. One of the major Denver daily newspapers noted that development in an editorial that suggested that, following the model of “gerrymandered,” the political lexicon should be modified to add “salamandered,” meaning “forced out of office through ridicule.”

Never a natural artist, Cassatt began his cartooning career with a photo-based strip called, “Protonibus.” Then, displaying determination and a work ethic that he often went to great lengths to conceal, Cassatt spent years teaching himself to draw and launching a series of strips, including “Downe and Dirty,” “Pizza Bones” and “Ute Toot.”

A computer whiz, Cassatt often used those skills as he put his strips together and that process, combined with his long-standing close friendship with Pulitzer-Prizewinning cartoonist Mike Peters, led to his breakthrough onto the national stage. In the early 1990s, Peters introduced Cassatt to Jeff MacNelly, also a Pulitzer Prize winner and the creator of “Shoe.” Using his computer skills to help MacNelly produce the strip, Cassatt rapidly became an invaluable part of the “Shoe” operation. And, after MacNelly’s untimely death in 2000, Cassatt — working with MacNelly’s widow, Susie, and illustrator Gary Brookins — used those skills to keep the strip alive. Cassatt put his heart and soul into the strip, working six days a week for 12 years.

Aside from his fervent cartooning, Cassatt’s refusal to conform was reflected in his skiing. In the 1970s, following up on the legend that early skis were made from barrel staves, Cassatt created his own brand of barrel-stave skis from short whiskey barrel staves. He put plastic bottoms and metal edges on the staves, along with modern release bindings. The “skis,” curved from edge to edge, as well as end to end, were wildly unstable, but Cassatt mastered them — skiing at high speeds, without poles, turning constantly … usually with a Nikon camera in hand.

Cassatt was born April 25, 1946, in Syracuse, N.Y., to Robert and Marjorie Cassatt. He grew up in Rumson, N.J., and attended Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa, and Windham College in Putney, Vt. Both colleges went out of business

not long after his departure, but Cassatt refused to accept any blame for their fate. In 1969, he decided he had learned enough to leave college despite his lack of a degree — the final necessary bit of knowledge being the fact that his draft lottery number came up 351 out of 365.

Leaving college in his wake, Cassatt headed west, settling in Aspen. In 1970, he began his career at The Aspen Times as flyboy, the lowest-ranking position at the paper, stacking newspapers as they came off the printing press.

Showing the same level of dedication and hard work that would mark his cartooning career, Cassatt quickly moved up through the ranks, becoming the paper’s front-page designer and chief photographer. He was also named editor of The Aspen Flyer, a twice-weekly advertising publication that Cassatt quickly turned into a free-wheeling noholds-barred paper filled with offbeat humorous and satirical articles.

Through the 1970s and early 1980s, Cassatt’s talents and spirit were a vital part of the Times, which was, for much of those years, the town’s only newspaper, a weekly that helped define, as well as chronicle, Aspen’s

developing character. Cassatt also collaborated with the Times’ Mary Eshbaugh Hayes on a book, “The Story of Aspen.”

For all his awards and triumphs, Cassatt’s biggest success at The Aspen Times was his office romance with business manager Lauren MacDonald, which led to their marriage in Aspen in 1974. Their marriage produced two children, son, Alex (who had the questionable distinction of being officially born Alexander Mander, before his father changed his name back to Cassatt), and daughter, Hayley. Alex, now living in Seattle, is a sound engineer who inherited Chris’s technological genius, while Hayley is an art teacher and professional artist in Portland, Ore., thus neatly dividing the skills that lurked in the Cassatt gene pool. Both children have returned home to spend the past weeks with their father.

In addition to his wife and children, Cassatt is survived by his parents and his brother, Rob, of Hampstead, N.C. No immediate plans for a public memorial service have been made.

CLASSIC ASPEN

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

The sounds of a sitar emanated from the Aspen Music Festival stage when recently deceased Ravi Shankar performed in Aspen in 1967.

RAVI SHANKAR: ASPEN, SUMMER 1967 The Aspen Music Festival confined its programming to

predictable during its earlier years. The Saturday chamber music concert featured the Julliard String Quartet nearly every week with other faculty filling in the program. The festival orchestra became Sunday’s premier event. Every third Wednesday, the student orchestra performed, with students playing chamber music on alternate Wednesdays. The most adventurous deviation featured Jack Benny in a benefit concert.

But those patterns changed in 1967 when Gordon Hardy took over the reins as festival director.

HARDY ADDED a chamber orchestra for Friday concerts, tagging Jorge Mester as conductor.

The student orchestra pushed the limits, with Peter Schickele (a former festival student) teaming up with conductor Leonard Slatkin for a P.D.Q. Bach performance. Faculty member Gary Gray ramped up the jazz band for woodwinds and brass and brought in Toshiko Akiyoshi and Lew Tabackin as guest artists for a big-band concert. The most notable programming experiment of 1967, an unscheduled event, brought classical Indian music to Aspen’s festival stage, performed by sitar master Ravi Shankar.

Shankar’s acclaim in America had reached new heights that year.

Teaming with classical violinist Yehudi Menuhin, he recorded “West Meets East,” which earned a Grammy Award. He also performed at the Monterey Pop Festival.

Shankar, who some consider the pioneer of the “world music” category, had influenced American

music throughout the past decade.

An ambassador of Indian music to this continent, he inspired a number of jazz musicians, including John Coltrane. George Harrison began a lifelong friendship with Shankar in 1966, when sitar became synonymous with Shankar and Harrison. Eventually, his association with The Beatles elevated Shankar to

It is unlikely Hardy thought about Shankar’s Beatles connection so much as the one with Yehudi Menuhin. As a stage manager for the festival that summer, I remember we

spent two hours before the concert in one of our small dressing rooms praying, fasting and burning incense.

The quiet backstage contrasted with the raucous crowd that awaited the concert.

After his performance, we let him pass through the stage door and then closed it. A large crowd, expecting to greet him backstage, demanded entrance. It had always been the custom that after a concert those who wanted to greet the performer could pass through the backstage.

After Hardy decided to let people in, I opened the door, and he stood in the entryway and announced, “three at a time please.” The crowd surged forward, overwhelming us.

The crowd descended on Shankar, barely over 5 feet tall. I do not know how he managed, but within seconds he disappeared through a back door to a waiting car.

The Los Angeles Times obituary noted that Shankar, who lived in Los Angeles for decades, had been criticized in his native India for bringing sacred music to America and commercializing it.

Notwithstanding, Shankar divorced himself from his 1960s followers.

He told an interviewer, “it was so mixed up with superficiality and the fad and the drugs.” His Aspen experience may have contributed to that conclusion.

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 redmtn@schat.net.

“JAMES C. CONNOR is now the possessor of a rare pet, an elk,” stated an article in the Aspen Daily Chronicle on Aug. 22, 1890. “He bought the animal from a man down the Grand River. It was caught two years ago. Some men were out hunting and one evening the young elk followed the dogs into camp. It is supposed that the mother had been killed and that the young calf had been lost from the remainder of the herd. It made up with the dogs which, strange to say, never offered to harm their new acquaintance. The elk has been brought up with kind treatment and is now very tame and a great pet. Mr. Connor also has the antlers shed last year. He values his prize very highly and keeps it grazing in his large lawn on Deane Street.”

AGED FOR 18 MONTHS in bourbon barrels, Agave Underground Anejo is some of the best tequila I have tasted. Rich with caramel and molasses flavors, it reminds me of a good sipping bourbon. That said, if you are not a tequila drinker and like more of a bourbon whiskey flavor, I would give this one a try — your palate will love it. As the Agave Underground bottle says, this tequila is “To Die For,” so let the mayhem begin.

WINEINK

WORDS to DRINK BY

by KELLY J. HAYES

PINOT POSSE VII MAKES A STAND IN ASPEN IT HAS BEEN SAID before, but still it continues to amaze. This is the best little wine town in America.

As fabulous as the La Paulée Neige event was (written about in last week’s column), equally enlightening and tasteful, in a literal sense, was the return of the Pinot Posse to the valley for an afternoon tasting at Jimmy’s followed by a special night at Sopris Liquor and Wine, where the Posse helped celebrate Johnny Ivansco’s birthday.

Coincidence? I don’t think so.

KELLY J. HAYES The Posse is the brainchild of CS Wines owner John Salamanski, who specializes in the distribution of smalllot, high-quality wines. A part-time Redstone resident, John represents a cadre of great West Coast producers, and eight years ago he initiated a trip for his winemakers to show their wares to the people of Colorado. The Pinot Posse, as they have come to be known, have achieved enormous success over these past few years, including a Wine of the Year honor from Wine Spectator magazine for Dan Kosta and Michael Browne for their 2009 Kosta Browne Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.

While Dan Kosta did not make the trip this year, it was great to reconnect with six other passionate Pinot-philes who did ride into town.

Let’s start with the urban winemakers from San Francisco, Andrew Vingiello, from AP Vin Wines, and Ed Kurtzman, with August West. Both of these guys buy grapes from many of the most celebrated vineyards in California, truck the grapes to San Francisco and make wine in the center of the city.

Andrew takes a real hands-off approach to his winemaking. In this tasting, he took me from north (the Ridgetop Vineyard in the northern Sonoma Coast) to south (the Clos Pepe Vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills of Santa Barbara County) with stops between (Gary’s and Rosella’s vineyards) in the Santa Lucia Highlands. He makes every wine the same way, prices everything the same price and pours great wine out of each bottle.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF CS WINES

“The vintage and the vineyard.

That’s what I’m all about,” Andrew says when describing his goals.

The August West Pinots are, I think, a great value in single-vineyard wines, and Ed is also making some solid Zinfandel under his new Sandler label with fruit from Sonoma County.

New to me was winemaker and grower Craig Strehlow, who oversees the epic Keefer Ranch in the Russian River Valley. Keefer fruit has long been considered some of the best Pinot in a great Pinot region, and four years ago Craig began to bottle a block under the Keefer banner.

The 2010 Keefer Ranch Green Valley is soft in the mouth and has a wonderful, full flavor of fresh fruit.

it was so smooth, so easy and so perfect that it was literally boring.

Oh, he’ll take it, of course, but it seemed he missed some of the drama that a difficult vintage can bring.

Typical O’Reilly to be contrary about his good fortune.

Jim Prosser poured two wines, both of which demonstrated why Steve Humble, the wine director at the Roaring Fork Club (a terrific maker of Pinot himself under his 32 Winds label), described him as “one of the top Oregon Pinot guys.” His 2010 Vespidae (the Latin word for wasps, which seem to seek Jim out regularly in vineyards around the world) was terrific, while the very limited 2010 Willamette Valley

A SOM SELECTS …

While Johnny Ivansco is another year older, he still has the touch and the palate for picking great wines for his customers. Below are some of his Pinot Posse faves from Sopris Liquor and Wine.

2011 SHARECROPPERS PINOT NOIR $23.99 The Sharecropper, from David O’Reilly’s Owen Roe wines, has always been a great value for Pinot Noir. Easy drinking, this wine has dark fruit and baking spices on the nose and a big, juicy finish.

NV J.K. CARRIER WILLAMETTE VALLEY PINOT NOIR $24.99 Jim Prosser’s Provocateur is a nonvintage blend due to low yields.

This wine has lip-smacking flavors with balanced acidity.

2011 A.P. VIN ROSELLA’S PINOT NOIR SLH $51.99 This wine is delicious! Lots of structure on the front palate, giving way to wonderful, balanced fruit. Extremely limited as Andrew Vingiello makes just 300 cases, but we have it!

Wine aficianados toast the evening at a Pinot Posse wine tasting.

The “boys up north” (I love that phrase, stolen from the title of Dick Erath’s wonderful book about Oregon winemaking in the early days) were represented by David O’Reilly, one of my favorite American winemakers, and Jim Prosser from Newburgh, Ore., who makes great wines under the J.K. Carriere moniker.

David poured Pinots from his Owen Roe label, but as is his wont, he also shook it up a bit with a 2011 Abbots Table, a blend of 45 percent Zinfandel, 33 percent Sangiovese, 15 percent Blaufränkisch and a little Merlot and Malbec for good measure.

Who makes wines likes this? Only David, as far as I know.

When I asked him about the outstanding 2012 vintage on the West Coast, David said, with a smile, that

A selection of fine wine awaits those gathering for a Pinot Posse wine tasting.

Antoinette was, as Jim noted, “the wine that defines who I am.”

Just a great tasting with a great group of winemakers. I also enjoy it when the Pinot Posses rides through the Roaring Fork Valley.

Start to finish: 10 minutes // Servings: 12 INGREDIENTS 4 Hass avocados, skins and pits removed 4 teaspoons lime juice 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper PREPARATION In a medium bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados. The guacamole should be mostly smooth, but with visible chunks. Mix in the lime juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Proceed with the recipe using one of the following mix-in combinations.

Guacamole is best served right away and at room temperature. If you must make it ahead and refrigerate it, cover it with plastic wrap, gently pressing the wrap over the entire surface of the guacamole. This, combined with the acid of the lime juice, should prevent the guacamole from browning.

THE BEAT OF A VERY DIFFERENT DRUMMER

by STEWART OKSENHORN

NEED TO KNOW “BEWARE OF MR. BAKER” JAN. 30 AT 7:30 P.M.

in the summer of 1994, early in my career as a journalist, I was invited

to interview Ginger Baker at a polo field near Carbondale. I knew Baker had been the drummer in the monumental power trio Cream in the ’60s, and I quickly agreed to the interview. I didn’t know any more than that, had no idea, for instance, what Baker was doing on a polo field in rural western Colorado. I recall Baker being colorful, cranky and impressed with himself. I walked away impressed with myself for having interviewed a semi-legend.

HAD I KNOWN what I know now, after watching the exceptional documentary “Beware of Mr. Baker,” I might have left my encounter thanking the heavens that I hadn’t gotten my nose bloodied by Baker’s cane. Or, more likely, I would have insisted on a phone interview.

“Beware of Mr. Baker” opens with Jay Bulger, the director, being whacked in the face by Baker’s cane. It is no glancing blow — if nothing else, Baker is good at whacking things, and he goes at Bulger’s nose with the same ferocity as he does a snare drum.

Watching the rest of “Beware of Mr.

Hart of the Grateful Dead, Neal Peart of Rush) to attest to Baker’s prowess.

“He is what drums are all about,” Stewart Copeland, of the Police, says.

“When I was 16, it was exactly where my sweet spot was. When my brain clicked on, it was Ginger Baker’s drum solos.”

But who needs outside observers when Baker is so willing to trumpet his own abilities?

“It’s a gift from God,” he says.

“You’ve either got it or you haven’t. I had it — time, natural time.”

Even better proof is the extensive footage, dating back to Baker’s earliest

Baker,” it’s impossible to say whether the cane incident influenced Bulger’s portrayal of his subject. Baker, who is now 73 and living in South Africa with his fourth wife, comes off as the greatest of rock drummers and among the worst of music’s cads.

days as a professional and including plenty of Cream segments. You don’t need to know drumming to recognize this is special stuff.

Baker’s gifts extended beyond banging. Though self-taught, he was a jazz player with serious chops as a composer. (“Coward of the County,” from 1999 and recorded with Baker’s Denver-based DJQ20, is one of my goto jazz albums.) My favorite moment of the documentary is an interview with

Janu ar y 2 4-30, 2013

Eric Clapton, when the director brings up Baker’s drum contemporaries, Keith Moon of the Who and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. Clapton, Baker’s Cream bandmate, is visibly offended; he too looks like he’s considering cracking Bulger’s skull.

“He’s a fully formed musician,” Clapton says of Baker.

Baker was as complete a jerk as he was a musician — a poor husband, a cruel father, a drug addict, condescending toward other musicians. He was given to extravagant spending sprees and griping about his financial misfortune. Clapton calls Baker “a rogue, a lovable rogue,” but apart from Baker’s musicianship, it’s questionable if there is anything to love. Another musician observes that Baker was “fairly consistently horrible to people and to himself.”

He had a rough start. Born in London three weeks before the outbreak of World War II, Baker saw his father go off to war and die. The elder Baker left behind a note for Ginger to open when he turned 14.

“Hold your own ground. Your fists are your best pals so often,” was Dad’s advice, and Baker took it to heart, becoming a combative wiseass.

Besides the loss of his father, though, Baker didn’t mind the war much; the bombing of London was a positive influence on his sense of rhythm and sound.

“The bombs going off, to me, was great. I still love explosions. I love disasters,” he says.

The loudest outburst of Baker’s career came with Cream, a trio that sold out multiple-night runs at Madison Square Garden in the mid-’60s. And the most explosive of Baker’s relationships was with Cream bassist-singer Jack Bruce, who appears

WHEELER OPERA HOUSE

in “Beware of Mr. Baker” as a calm chap, accustomed to but still slightly bewildered by Baker’s animosity. The precise sore spot is never made clear; it might stem back as far as Bruce’s early switch from upright bass to electric bass guitar. More likely is Baker’s jealousy over the fact that Bruce, credited with writing several of Cream’s biggest hits, earned royalties that Baker did not. Whatever the reason, Baker beat up Bruce, pulled a knife on him, fired him from the Graham Bond Organization, a band that Baker didn’t even have authority over — and then reteamed with Bruce in Cream.

Cream lasted just two years, which seems to be about the limit for any group that had Baker on the drummer’s stool. When Clapton finally extricated himself from Cream, he partnered with Steve Winwood to form Blind Faith — and was astonished when Baker showed up at rehearsal, the self-appointed drummer. That project lasted just one year and one album.

Baker was driven more by passion than by planning. He formed a big band, Ginger Baker’s Air Force, that collapsed under its own size. In the ’70s, he moved to Nigeria to soak up African rhythm and collaborate with Afropop pioneer Fela Kuti. In his 30s, he discovered polo and fell so hard for the sport that it eclipsed his musical pursuits. By the ’90s, Baker was broke to the point of placing a classified ad in Music Connections, looking for a gig.

“Beware of Mr. Baker” raises the age-old question: Does artistic genius excuse a loathsome personality? In Baker’s case, this isn’t a conscious choice. He is consumed by drumming.

Baker is given one sentimental moment, when he talks about jazz drummers Max Roach, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones and Baker’s mentor, Phil Seaman. He tears up at the reality that he eventually earned their respect.

“All four of them became friends,” he says. “That means more to me than anything in the world.”

EYE-OPENING COMEBACK: GRETCHEN BLEILER IS BACK IN THE GAME(S)

by AMANDA CHARLES

call it a mishap, an accident or the nature of the game; whatever the definition,

an injury is never a wanted fate of any professional skier or snowboarder. For some, it could mean an uncertain recovery, months off the snow and a missed shot at a title.

For others, it could mean the end of a career for good.

FOR MORE THAN a decade, Aspen’s hometown snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler has gambled with the perils of the extreme-sport circuit and danced the fine line between success and tragedy. At age 31, she has 11 years of Winter X Games underneath her, capturing four snowboard superpipe gold medals and positioning herself at a tie with Kelly Clark for the most ever.

After accomplishing her childhood dream of competing in the Winter Olympics not once but twice and coming away with the silver in 2006, Bleiler has proven her influence as P H O T O B Y D O M I N I Q U E T A Y L O R / V A I L D A I LY

an athlete. She has developed the first-ever all girls’ halfpipe competition in Aspen, the CoverGirl Snow Angels Invitational; designed her own signature clothing line; and become an active spokeswoman in the fight against global warming.

Arguably one of the biggest names in women’s action sports, Bleiler is unstoppable, marked by skill, strength and an undaunted presence.

But as is the case with all competitive athletes, the consequences of the sport are never far between.

ON THE SCENE:

MADDY SCHAFFRICK AND BRITA SIGOURNEY TALK SHOP NAME: Maddy Schaffrick AGE: 18 DISCIPLINE: Snowboard pipe RESIDES IN: Steamboat Springs LATEST CAREER HIGHLIGHT: 2010 Superpipe, Winter Dew Tour’s Toyota Championship, Mount Snow Resort, West Dover, Vt., secnd place ASPEN TIMES WEEKLY: What is your everyday routine as a pro snowboarder?

MADDY: If it’s a night before training, I try to be lying in my bed by 10 p.m. at the latest, listening to classical music with my eyes closed. Depending on the day, we are usually leaving the house by 9 a.m. and spend at least three hours riding. Any practice under two hours just makes me feel worthless.

ATW: What is your diet like?

MADDY: I figure I am young and active enough to not make too many drastic modifications to my diet; however, the healthier I eat, the more physically and mentally strong, quick and light I feel, which obviously helps when throwing tricks on a snowboard.

ATW: What is your favorite song to ride to?

MADDY: I have no specific go-to song when I ride, but over the past few months I have developed an extreme allegiance to White Stripes radio on Pandora.

ATW: Who is your biggest role model?

MADDY: I have been working toward becoming my own role model. I have found I listen to myself way more than I listen to anybody else, so if I start controlling my behavior at least some of the time, maybe I can inspire myself to act similarly some of the other times. I’ll get to this spot eventually.

NAME: Brita Sigourney AGE: 22 DISCIPLINE: Ski pipe RESIDES IN: Carmel, Calif.

LATEST CAREER HIGHLIGHT: X Games bronze medal in 2012; first woman freeskier to land a 1080 trick in a full superpipe run this year.

ASPEN TIMES WEEKLY: What is your everyday routine as a pro skier?

BRITA: If I’m not competing or have earlymorning practice, I’ll usually wake up around 8 or 9 a.m., do a quick gym warmup then go out on the hill and have fun. I’m not necessarily training the whole day.

Usually I just like to ski with my friends, which may mean lapping the halfpipe, hitting the jump line or just shredding around the mountain. I’ll be out by midnight at the latest and ready to do it all over again the next day.

ATW: What is your diet like?

BRITA: I’m not on a strict diet at all, and I’m thankful for that because I think I would be bad at it. Right now, I am really into Greek yogurt — Chobani is my favorite. I have a small stomach, and my friends are always making fun of me because every time I finish a meal (which is sometimes half a sandwich), I sigh and say, “Oh my God, I’m so full.”

ATW: What is your favorite song to ride to?

BRITA: I try not to pick a specific song I have to listen to while skiing or competing because I think it throws my game off and stresses me out. Instead, I’ll just make a big playlist with lots of good songs that keep me going all day.

ATW: Who is your biggest role model?

BRITA: Sarah Burke. She is my biggest inspiration, and I feel so lucky to have experienced her light. We all aspire to be like her both on and off the snow.

backflip maneuver on a trampoline in Park City, Utah, the unthinkable moment in Bleiler’s career happened when she over-rotated the flip, sending her knee bouncing off the trampoline and into her face.

Bleiler shattered her right eye socket, broke her nose, split open her eyebrow and suffered a serious concussion. She found herself saying in a bloody ambulance ride on the way to Salt Lake City, “Snowboarding isn’t worth it.”

Called an “orbital wall blowout,” where the socket shatters and there is no longer anything holding the eye in place, Bleiler recalls the excruciating experience of her eye sinking back and down in her head, causing her to suffer extreme double vision and vertigo.

“My eyes were no longer aligned, and having them both open at the same time would make me sick,” she said.

With a week leading up to surgery at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Bleiler tied a T-shirt across her injured eye and lay in bed in a dark room with her eyes closed in hopes of lessening the discomfort.

“I think the scary part was the fact that an accident as silly as a trampoline might damage my eye permanently, and even more scary was the lack of guarantees from the doctors that I would fully recovery,” she said.

But luckily for Bleiler, there was light at the end of the tunnel.

Doctors at Johns Hopkins built a titanium bridge where the eye socket once was, realigned her eyeball through her lower eyelid and fixed her nose. With no incisions to her face and virtually no visual scars, she was on the fast track to recovery — or so she thought.

“I went to New Zealand in October, and it did not go well at all. In my everyday life I was fine, but when I dropped into the pipe and looked up at the 22-foot wall, I had double vision every time,” she said.

Knowing that something had to be done if she wanted to be back in form for the X Games in January, Bleiler started working five days a week with her physical therapist, Brad Jones.

“Honestly, he is the only reason why I’m back on the board right now,” Bleiler said. “If it wasn’t for his knowledge, his makeshift measuring system and exercises, my eye wouldn’t have nearly the range of motion that it does today.”

Now, after almost three months of exercise, moving her eye up and down in each direction as far as it could go, her double vision has subsided greatly, and she claims to be 100 percent going into this year’s X Games, her first event since the accident.

“This whole experience has put me in a different place,” she said. “I’m used to working hard and doing whatever it takes, but this is one of those situations where an aggressive mentality doesn’t work in my favor.”

As time moves forward, Bleiler hopes to return to the plan she had before the accident, which focuses on reinventing her way of riding with greater amplitude and creative spins and grabs. If things go as planned, she will master a front cork 1080 for the Sochi Olympics, just a year away.

For now, however, the athlete is taking it day

Gretchen Bleiler in action

by day as she works to regain her confidence and focus on being in the moment — especially since her greatest competition is finding patience within herself.

And, although she doesn’t plan on pushing the limits at this weekend’s X Games here in Aspen, Bleiler rests assured that her years of experience, coupled with mental strength and a hyper-awareness of where she is in the air will be enough to get her through anything.

“I think the reason I have been able (to snowboard) for so long is because I’m able to walk that line where I’m pushing to get to the top but not overstepping it,” she said. “I’m extremely calculated in the way I push myself, and while this accident made the dangers of what I do that more serious and real, I still love it more than anything, and I know I still have a lot more to give.”

KAYAKING MEMORIES ON THE WHITE SALMON RIVER

I ALMOST MISSED my chance to kayak the White Salmon River before it changed forever. After dropping off the kids at school, packing, making last-minute phone calls and sending last-minute emails, I left the house an hour later than planned. With a five-hour drive and only the afternoon of a late October day ahead of me, I had almost given up on the idea of paddling before my trip even started.

I had my boat with me, though, and I wanted to get on the river if I could. So I was heavy on the pickup’s gas as I dropped from the freeway onto the state highway that follows the Washington side of the Columbia River and headed west.

I expected the river country to look the way it did the first time I saw it, frozen in a present tense as static as a story in the pages of a book. Of course, no landscape keeps still. Windmills twirled on what I remembered as empty hillsides, and wine grapes sprouted where I recalled only cheatgrass and sagebrush.

Slowing to drive through the town of Roosevelt, I noticed a new spec-house subdivision.

An hour down the highway from Roosevelt, I turned up the road that follows the White Salmon River. I tried to catch a glimpse of it, but Garry oaks and ponderosa pines hid

the water. Orange mesh barriers and construction barrels blocked every turnout. A sign declared river access closed for a demolition project.

A 100-year-old hydroelectric dam spanned the White Salmon about three miles from its confluence with the Columbia. Built in the days before people worried much about the environment, the Condit Dam lacked a fish ladder to enable salmon and steelhead to migrate upstream. The federal government finally ordered the dam’s owner to add one, but the power company figured the dam produced so little electricity — and adding a fish ladder would cost so much money — that it was cheaper just to remove the dam.

The next day, on Oct. 26, 2011, the utility would blow a hole in the dam to drain its reservoir and then spend a year dismantling the structure. I’m as big a fan of dynamite as the next guy, but it wasn’t the promise of explosives that sent me traveling. When my wife, Juliet, and I were dating, she lived in Portland, Ore., and I lived in a small town near Yakima, Wash., and the White Salmon was the closest thing to halfway between us. We had time in those days and spent our summer weekends there kayaking. I think it’s where we fell in love. Despite the distance and commitments that

now separate us from the river, it remains a part of us, and it seemed important for one of us to witness the dam’s demise, for the same reasons it’s sometimes important to attend a wedding or a birthday party, even when you can think of a thousand excuses not to go. Beyond the reach of the reservoir, you could paddle the White Salmon. I pulled into a parking turnout next to a pickup loaded with a kayak. The driver was in his drysuit, and I asked if he was taking off or putting on. Putting on, he said. Even though it was late, I asked if I could tag along.

shore opposite the road. For some reason, we decided she could grab onto the back of my kayak and I could tow her across the river so she could hike out to catch a ride back to her car. I should have recognized what a bad idea this was.

The White Salmon is shallow and rocky, and there was no way Juliet could hang on. When she let go, the river sucked her downstream. I chased but could do nothing. I felt a kind of relief I had never felt before when Juliet swam into an eddy and pulled herself onto the bank. I kept that memory to myself and followed

THE SOUND OF FLOWING WATER DRIFTED OUT OF THE CANYON, BUT THE RIVER LOOKED AS IF IT WERE MADE NOT OF WATER BUT OF CHURNING BLACK DIRT. DIRT RAPIDS ROSE UP AND THEN VANISHED, ONLY TO RETURN IN SOME NEW LOCATION AS THE RIVER REMADE ITSELF AND THEN REMADE ITSELF AGAIN. I hustled into paddling gear and then waited. By the time his friends arrived, and we loaded boats and drove to the put-in and unloaded boats, it was closer to dark than I would have liked, and I knew we couldn’t make it off the river before nightfall. But I wasn’t worried; I knew the river, and the people I was going to paddle with knew the river, too.

Still, I stayed tight behind a bright green kayak in the first hard rapid.

The canyon had already dropped into twilight. We entered river left, dodged some rocks, then moved right and skirted some waves and a hydraulic big enough to stop a kayak. One July day, I led a group of canoeists from back east through that same rapid. All of them flipped, and I spent almost an hour rounding up canoes and paddles and people.

I mentioned that story to the woman I had followed through the rapid, but she didn’t seem to care. I swung in behind her again. At the next rapid, a rock shelf narrows the river, which is already narrow, by half.

I almost killed Juliet in that thin rapid one spring. The river ran high, and Juliet didn’t want to paddle it, but I was selfish, and I somehow convinced her that she could run it safely.

She was uncomfortable from the first, but I told myself she would loosen up even though I knew better.

When she hit the meat of the rapid, she flipped and swam, lost her boat and paddle, and ended up on the

the green kayak into the darkness, carrying all my unspoken river stories.

The next morning, the morning of the demolition, I went to the small park at the tail end of the reservoir.

It looked nothing like I remembered.

The power company had partially drawn down the dam pool so that a river flowed where I recalled a lake.

Frost had formed overnight and lingered in the morning cold. One summer’s day, while Juliet and I ate in that park, a man had tried to play fetch with her dog. A husky mix, it wasn’t a fetching dog. The man threw the ball once, and when the dog didn’t retrieve, the man did. He showed the dog the ball and threw it again.

The dog didn’t move. The man again retrieved the ball. When he returned, Juliet and I started to laugh. He wandered away after we pointed out how quickly her dog had trained him to fetch. It’s a silly story, but I always remember it when I’m at that park.

I wondered if my memories would change once the physical space that helped create them changed.

Only a handful of people were allowed to watch the demolition live, so I stood in the spawning room of a salmon hatchery with five dozen government scientists and bureaucrats to view it over an Internet feed.

Everybody cheered when the dam exploded and a gush of black water flooded downstream. Still, it wasn’t the same as seeing the river.

I had used some connections to

The Condit Dam before and after it was breached on Oct. 26, 2011.

get myself invited along on a tour of the dam with the scientists. A few hours after the demolition, a rafting outfitter’s bus drove us to the dam, and as we filed off, workers handed us hard hats, orange safety vests and protective goggles. A woman gave a speech telling us where we could and couldn’t go and what we could and couldn’t do, along with a warning that if we broke the rules, our tour was over.

The place was like an open wound. A century’s worth of airless decomposition, suddenly uncovered, coated everything with a port-o-johnin-July kind of smell. A hundred feet below us, the river cleaved through a mud-walled canyon. Sometimes great chunks of those walls calved off and tumbled into the river.

The sound of flowing water drifted

out of the canyon, but the river looked as if it were made not of water but of churning black dirt. Dirt rapids rose up and then vanished, only to return in some new location as the river remade itself and then remade itself again.

As I walked around the now-useless dam, I took pictures, collected a few chunks of broken concrete and tried to memorize the smallest details so I could tell Juliet about a changing river that would remain forever familiar.

Retiring from the department this year after 20 years of service were Bill McEnteer and Joe Fredericks. Receiving the first women’s 20year service awards MARY were Amy Knight and ESHBAUGH HAYES Jan Schubert. The gala evening was held at the T-Lazy-7 Ranch, and the firefighters, who are a diverse but very friendly group, had a wonderful time dining and dancing and receiving their awards. Since I couldn’t cover the event, my daughter, Jess Bates, took the photos.

For the second year in a row, Cody J. Vickery, son of Della Pegolotti, has been named to the dean’s list at the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver. Dean’s-list students achieved a quarterly grade point average of 3.75 or above while taking at least 15 credit hours. Della owns Aspen Home Consignment in Aspen.

DITCH ROBINSON DITCH (1)

The BWCD owns 441 shares of Class 1 stock issued by the Robinson Ditch Company. The said 441 shares equal 24.16% of the total shares and are associated with 9.73 c.f.s. of the 40.26 c.f.s. decreed to the Robinson Ditch.

(2) District Court in and for Garfield County Legal Description of Point of Diversion: The point of diversion as decreed is located on the North bank of the Roaring Fork River one-half mile below the mouth of Sopris Creek in Section 11, T. 8 S., R. 87 West, 6th P.M. Historic Use: Irrigation of approximately 137.2 acres of hay and pasture under BWCD’s interest in the Robinson Ditch water rights. In Case No. 93CW319, the Court decreed that 360 acre feet of annual consumptiveuse credits are associated with said irrigation. In that case, the Court also decreed a change of use of BWCD’s Robinson Ditch rights to include augmentation. BWCD makes the credits available to contract allottees for use pursuant to an approved substitute supply plan or decree of Court.

Statement of plan for augmentation: Background: Applicant intends to irrigate up to 9.2 acres on its land. 7.37 acres were historically irrigated under the Davis Ditch, Priorities 221A-1 and 570. An additional 1.83 acres will be irrigated under the Davis Ditch, Triple M Enlargement occurring above the historic Davis Ditch structure and will be augmented hereunder. Irrigation water will be delivered by the Davis Ditch at the alternate point of diversion applied for concurrently herewith and by the Davis Ditch, Triple M Enlargement described above. Out of priority depletions from the irrigation, livestock watering and pond evaporative losses will be replaced with water from a Basalt Water Conservancy District Allotment Contract released to augment the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers. Pond Evaporation: Monthly evaporation for the Triple M Pond was calculated using the State Engineer’s Office guidelines and criteria. The average annual total evaporation for approximately 0.40 surface acre is estimated to equal 1.37 acre-feet annually. Irrigation Depletions: The Davis Ditch and the Davis Ditch, Triple M Enlargement will irrigate up to 9.2 acres on Applicant’s property. 1.83 acres of new irrigation under the Davis Ditch, Triple M Enlargement are augmented under this plan. Applicant will use its Davis Ditch and Davis Ditch, Triple M Enlargement water rights in priority to irrigate the historically irrigated acreage on its property. The consumptive use rate for irrigation in this area was estimated using the modified Blaney-Criddle methodology approved by the State Engineer. This analysis calculates approximately 1.985 acre feet per acre per year. Lagged return flows were considered and do not change the net irrigation depletion calculation.

Livestock Watering Depletions: The Davis Ditch, Triple M Enlargement and the Triple M Pond will water up to 10 head of livestock located on Applicant’s property. The expected depletions due to livestock watering are 0.123 acre-feet annually. Dry Year Operations: For a dry year scenario, augmentation releases shall be made by contract. Applicant owns the property upon which any structure will be located, upon which water will be stored, or upon which water is and will be placed to beneficial use. SECOND CLAIM for Appropriative Right of Exchange. Name of structure: Triple M Exchange.

12CW184 PITKIN AND EAGLE COUNTIES.APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF A PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION AND EXCHANGE 1.Name and Address of Applicant: Wildcat Reservoir Company (“Wildcat”), c/o William R. Hegberg, P.O. Box 274, Snowmass, Colorado 81654. Direct all pleadings to:Glenn E. PorzakandKristin Howse Moseley, Porzak Browning &Bushong LLP, 929 Pearl Street, Suite 300, Boulder, Colorado 80302. 2. Overview: Wildcat seeks approval of a plan for augmentation and appropriative right of exchange to offset out-of-priority evaporative depletions from Wildcat Reservoir by making releases from Ruedi Reservoir. 3.Description of Water Right to be Augmented: Wildcat seeks to augment directly or by exchange the following water right: a. Structure and Decree: Wildcat Reservoir, decreed by the Water Court in and for Water Division No. 5 (“Water Court”) in Case No. W-21 on May 27, 1991, with a September 28, 1968 appropriation date, and Wildcat Reservoir Second Filing decreed by the Water Court in Case No. 91CW234 on May 12, 1993, with a June 1, 1976 appropriation date. b. Location: The left abutment of the dam for Wildcat Reservoir is located on the west bank of Wildcat Creek at a point whence the SW corner of Section 30, T. 9 S., R. 85 W. of the 6th P.M. bears S. 53 degrees, 31’ E., 6,800 feet. For ease of reference, but without changing the decreed location, this alternate point of diversion can be also be described as being located in the SW1/4 NW1/4 of Section 25, Township 9 South, Range 86 West, of the 6th P.M. at a point 1,591 feet from the North section line and 129 feet from the West section line.A map depicting the location of Wildcat Reservoir is attached hereto as Exhibit A.c. Source: The source is East Snowmass Creek and Wildcat Creek, tributary to Snowmass Creek, tributary to the Roaring Fork River. d. Amount and uses: 1,140 a.f. for municipal, irrigation and recreational uses.4. Water right to be Used as the Source of Augmentation Water. Up to 140 acre feet of Ruedi Reservoir, decreed in the Garfield County District Court in Civil Action No. 4613 for domestic, municipal, irrigation, industrial, generation of electrical energy, stock watering and piscatorial uses, with an appropriation date of July 29, 1957. By subsequent order of the Water Court entered in Case No. W-789-76, the decreed amount of this reservoir has been fixed at 102,369 acre-feet. Ruedi Reservoir is located in Sections 7, 8, 9, 11 and 14 through 18, Township 8 South, Range 84 West, of the Sixth P.M., in Eagle and Pitkin Counties, and derives its water supply from the Fryingpan River. Wildcat is seeking

the contract right to delivery of up to 140 acre-feet of Ruedi Reservoir water from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, all or a portion of which will be utilized in this application. Any remaining amount of the 140 acre-feet Ruedi Reservoir contract water will be utilized in a separate application or applications. 5.Description of the Plan for Augmentation and Appropriative Right of Exchange: By this application, Wildcat seeks to augment, either directly or by exchange, out-of-priority evaporative depletions from Wildcat Reservoir, described in paragraph 3 above. a. Augmentation Plan. To permit the requested out-of-priority evaporative depletions, Wildcat proposes to cause the release of or otherwise commit to the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers from the Ruedi Reservoir contract water described in paragraph 4 above. The replacement water will be provided upstream of the location of the calling water right. The precise timing and amount of releases from Ruedi Reservoir shall be subject to administration by the Division Engineer and/or the Water Commissioner.b. Depletion Assumption. It is assumed that all evaporative depletions from Wildcat Reservoir are 100% consumptive. As denoted on the table attached hereto as Exhibit B, gross evaporative loses from Wildcat Reservoir have been estimated to be 3.43 feet per surface acre and total anticipated out-of-priority dry-year evaporative losses are anticipated to total 87.22 a.f. over the 55.03 total surface acres.c. Exchange Plan Reach and Rate. When an exchange is necessary to augment its out-of-priority depletions, Wildcat seeks the right to operate the following appropriative right of exchange: Wildcat seeks approval of a plan to augment by exchange out-of-priority evaporative depletions from Wildcat Reservoir pursuant to its contractual right to the delivery of Ruedi Reservoir water described in paragraph 4 above. The downstream terminus of the exchange is the confluence of the Fryingpan and Roaring Fork Rivers located in the SW1/4 of the SE1/4 of section 7, T8S, R86W, in the 6th P.M. at a point 1440 feet from the east section line, and 750 feet from the south section line. The upstream termini of the exchange is the inlet of Wildcat Reservoir located at NE1/4 NW1/4 of Section 36, Township 9 South, Range 86 West, of the 6th P.M. at a point 23 feet from the North section line and 2,096 feet from the West section line. The maximum rate of exchange is 1.25 c.f.s. The exchange or any portion thereof described herein shall only operate in priority. d. Priority Date. A December 31, 2012 priority date is sought in connection with the subject plan for exchange, which is the date of filing of this application. 6. Measurement Devices. So as to ensure the operation of the augmentation and exchange plan, Wildcat will install and maintain such water measuring devices and implement such accounting procedures as may be required to verify that the amount of augmentation and exchange water equals or exceeds the amount of out-of-priority depletions resulting from the use of water under the claimed plan for augmentation and exchange.7. Names and addresses of owners of land upon which structures are or will be located, upon which water is or will be stored, or upon which water is or will be placed to beneficial use: (a) Wildcat Reservoir is located on land owned by Wildcat Ranch Association, whose address is P.O.

(1) The BWCD owns 441 shares of Class 1 stock issued by the Robinson Ditch Company. The said 441 shares equal 24.16% of the total shares and are associated with 9.73 cfs of the 40.26 cfs decreed to the Robinson Ditch.

(2) District Court in and for Garfield County.

Legal descriptions: NW ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 11, Township 8 South, Range 87 West, of the 6th P.M., 2307 feet from the south section line and 2309 feet from the east section line (Eagle County). Historic Use: Irrigation of approximately 137.2 acres of hay and pasture under BWCD’s interest in the Robinson Ditch water rights. In Case No. 93CW319, the Court decreed that 360 acre-feet of annual consumptive-use credits are associated with said irrigation. In that case, the Court also decreed a change of use of BWCD’s Robinson Ditch rights to include augmentation. BWCD makes the credits available to contract allottees for use pursuant to an approved substitute supply plan or decree of Court. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: Background: Applicant owns the property shown on the maps on file with the Court. On this property sits the Donnelley Well Pond System. The pond system is filled and re-filled by the Donnelley Ditch, a 12-inch diameter headgate that diverts water out of Snowmass Creek, and likely collects local springs and seeps that are tributary to Snowmass Creek. The pond system also likely intercepts groundwater tributary to Snowmass Creek.

Evaporation: The total open surface area of the Donnelley Well Pond System, including the surface area of Donnelley Ditch, is 0.19 acre. The annual gross evaporation from the pond system occurs at a rate of 45 inches per one surface acre per year. The average annual evaporation from the pond system is 0.646 acre-foot. Monthly evaporationwas calculated using the State Engineer’s Office guidelines and criteria as provided on Table 1 on file with the Court. Although the pond system likely intercepts groundwater, the evaporation depletions from the pond system do not cause any delayed effects on the stream due to the pond system’s close proximity to Snowmass Creek and because the groundwater elevation is several feet below the high water elevation. Downstream calls: The primary source of a water right call on Snowmass Creek and the Roaring Fork River is the “Cameo Call” made by several downstream agricultural rights on the Colorado River near Grand Junction. These rights have historically placed a call on the Upper Colorado River during average and dry years for one week in April, one week in May, two weeks in June, all of July through October, and one week in November. Pursuant to this plan for augmentation, Applicant shall secure a BWCD Allotment Contract in the amount of up to 0.5 acre-foot to augment by exchange any mainstem call including the Cameo Call. Whenever a valid call is made by a senior water right with a point of diversion below the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan Rivers, all out-of-priority evaporation depletions from the Donnelley Well Pond System shall be augmented by exchange by releases from the various BWCD water rights described in paragraph 14.B above. An augmentation schedule is outlined in Table 2. Applicant’s Third Claim below is for an appropriative right of exchange for the reaches between the point of depletion on Snowmass Creek and the downstream points of replacement on the Roaring Fork and/or Colorado Rivers. Colorado Water Conservation Board (“CWCB’s”) local call: The CWCB holds instream flow water rights in Snowmass Creek from its confluence with Capital Creek to the Roaring Fork River, and in the Roaring Fork River above its confluence with the Fryingpan River. However, the Donnelley Well Pond System was a present use in existence before the CWCB appropriations. Therefore, pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-102(3)(b), Applicant is not proposing to replace evaporation depletions from the pond system to satisfy a CWCB call. Other local calls: Historically, senior agricultural water rights on Snowmass Creek and on the Roaring Fork River above its confluence with the Fryingpan River have not placed calls. However, if a valid call occurs, Applicant shall cease all diversions into the Donnelley Well Pond System from the Donnelley Ditch. Additionally, all out-of-priority evaporation depletions from the pond system shall be replaced by releases of water from the main pond that is surcharged above the groundwater table due to in-priority diversions from the Donnelley Ditch. The releases shall be accomplished via an outlet structure directly into Snowmass Creek, and shall be made in a volume equal to the actual evaporation depletion to the extent that the depletion is caused by uncontrolled inflow as estimated in Table 2. Table 2 outlines an augmentation schedule for any local call occurring between April and mid-November. The water that was diverted in priority into the pond system from the Donnelley Ditch shall then draw down by evaporation and percolation into the groundwater table. Applicant shall install a staff gauge into, and create a detailed stage capacity curve for, the pond system to fully implement this plan. Onsite storage releases from the Donnelley Well Pond System shall occur only in the event of local calls other than calls by the CWCB. THIRD CLAIM: FOR CONDITIONAL APPROPRIATIVE RIGHT OF EXCHANGE. Name of structure: Donnelley Exchange. Location: Downstream Termini: The points of replacement on the Roaring Fork and/or Colorado Rivers of the BWCD’s water rights listed above and described with particularity as follows: For the exchange of Green Mountain Reservoir water: The confluence of the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers, located in the SE ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 9, Township 6 South, Range 89 West of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 2,200 feet south of the North Section line and 2,350 feet east of the West Section line of said Section 9; For the exchange of Ruedi Reservoir and/or Troy and Edith Ditch water: The confluence of the Roaring Fork and Frying Pan Rivers located in the SW ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 7, Township 8 South, Range 86 West of the 6th P.M., at a point 647 feet north of the South Section line and 1,475 feet west of the East Section line of said Section 7; and For the exchange of Robinson Ditch water: The point of diversion for the Robinson Ditch on the Roaring Fork River, located in the NW ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 11, Township 8 South, Range 87 West of the 6 P.M., at a point 2,307 feet north of the South Section line and 2,309 feet west of the East Section line of said Section 11. A map of the BWCD’s augmentation supplies is on file with the Court.

Upstream Terminus: The Donnelley Ditch, described above. Sources: The sources are described above. Date of appropriation: September 1, 2012.

Appropriation was initiated by field inspection, survey, formulation of intent to appropriate the exchange, and water court application. Date water applied to beneficial use: N/A. Rate: 0.006 c.f.s., conditional. Volume: Up to 0.5 acre-feet, conditional. Plan of operation: The plan for augmentation described in the Second Claim above includes an appropriative right of exchange of the augmentation water released pursuant to Applicant’s BWCD allotment contract, extending from the lower termini described above to the upper terminus described above. Applicant shall operate the exchange only when it is in priority.(15 pgs.)

(1) The BWCD owns 441 shares of Class 1 stock issued by the Robinson Ditch Company. The said 441 shares equal 24.16% of the total shares and are associated with 9.73 cfs of the 40.26 cfs decreed to the Robinson Ditch.

(2) District Court in and for Garfield County.

Legal descriptions: NW ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 11, Township 8 South, Range 87 West, of the 6th P.M., 2307 feet from the south section line and 2309 feet from the east section line (Eagle County). Historic Use: Irrigation of approximately 137.2 acres of hay and pasture under BWCD’s interest in the Robinson Ditch water rights. In Case No. 93CW319, the Court decreed that 360 acre-feet of annual consumptive-use credits are associated with said irrigation. In that case, the Court also decreed a change of use of BWCD’s Robinson Ditch rights to include augmentation. BWCD makes the credits available to contract allottees for use pursuant to an approved substitute supply plan or decree of Court. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: Background: Applicant owns the property shown on the maps labeled Figures 1 and 2. On this property sits the Deerfield Well Pond System. The pond system is filled and re-filled by the Deerfield Ditch, a 24-inch diameter headgate that diverts water out of Snowmass Creek, and likely local springs and seeps that are tributary to Snowmass Creek. The pond system also likely intercepts groundwater tributary to Snowmass Creek (see above in this regard). The total diversions and depletions from the pond system and ditch are shown on Table 1 on file with the Court. Evaporation: The total open surface area of the Deerfield Well Pond System, including the surface area of Deerfield Ditch, is 0.53 acre. The annual gross evaporation from the pond system occurs at a rate of 45 inches per one surface acre per year. The average annual evaporation from the pond system is 1.802 acre-feet. Monthly evaporationwas calculated using the State Engineer’s Office guidelines and criteria as provided on Table 2. Although the pond system likely intercepts groundwater, the evaporation depletions from the pond system do not cause any delayed effects on the stream due to the pond system’s close proximity to Snowmass Creek and because the groundwater elevation is several feet below the high water elevation. Irrigation Depletions: The Deerfield Well Pond System will irrigate up to 1.52 acres on Applicant’s property. The consumptive use rate for irrigation in this area was estimated to be approximately 1.912 feet per acre per year, as shown in Table 3. For the full 1.52 acres irrigated, this equals 2.91 acre-feet of irrigation depletions, as shown in Table 1. Lagged return flows are considered in Tables 4 and 5, and do not change the net irrigation depletion calculation. Downstream calls: The primary source of a water right call on Snowmass Creek and the Roaring Fork River is the “Cameo Call” made by several downstream agricultural rights on the Colorado River near Grand Junction. These rights have historically placed a call on the Upper Colorado River during average and dry years for one week in April, one week in May, two weeks in June, all of July through October, and one week in November. Pursuant to this plan for augmentation, Applicant shall secure a BWCD Allotment Contract in the amount of up to 3.8 acre-feet to augment by exchange any mainstem call including the Cameo Call. Whenever a valid call is made by a senior water right with a point of diversion below the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan Rivers, all out-of-priority evaporation and irrigation depletions from the Deerfield Well Pond System, shall be augmented by exchange by releases from the various BWCD water rights described in paragraph 14.B above. A dry-year augmentation schedule is outlined in Table 6. Applicant’s Third Claim below is for an appropriative right of exchange for the reaches between the point of depletion on Snowmass Creek and the downstream points of replacement on the Roaring Fork and/or Colorado Rivers. Colorado Water Conservation Board (“CWCB’s”) local call: The CWCB holds instream flow water rights in Snowmass Creek from its confluence with Capital Creek to the Roaring Fork River, and in the Roaring Fork River above its confluence with the Fryingpan River. However, the Deerfield Well Pond System was a present use in existence before the CWCB appropriations. Therefore, pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-102(3)(b), Applicant is not proposing to replace evaporation or irrigation depletions from the pond system to satisfy a CWCB call. Other local calls: Historically, senior agricultural water rights on Snowmass Creek and on the Roaring Fork River above its confluence with the Fryingpan River have not placed calls. However, if a valid call occurs, Applicant shall cease all diversions into the Deerfield Well Pond System from the Deerfield Ditch and shall cease all irrigation out of the pond system. Additionally, all out-of-priority evaporation depletions from the pond system and ditch shall be replaced by releases of water from the main pond that is surcharged above the groundwater table due to in-priority diversions from the Deerfield Ditch. The releases shall be accomplished via an outlet structure directly into Snowmass Creek, and shall be made in a volume equal to the actual evaporation depletion to the extent that the depletion is caused by uncontrolled inflow as estimated in Table 6. Table 6 outlines an augmentation schedule for any local call occurring between April and mid-November. The water that was diverted in priority into the pond system from the Deerfield Ditch shall then draw down by evaporation and percolation into the groundwater table. Applicant shall install a staff gauge into, and create a detailed stage capacity curve for, the pond system to fully implement this plan. Onsite storage releases from the Deerfield Well Pond System shall occur only in the event of local calls other than calls by the CWCB. THIRD CLAIM: FOR CONDITIONAL APPROPRIATIVE RIGHT OF EXCHANGE.Name of structure: Deerfield Exchange.

Location: Downstream Termini: The points of replacement on the Roaring Fork and/or Colorado Rivers of the BWCD’s water rights listed above and described with particularity as follows: For the exchange of Green Mountain Reservoir water: The confluence of the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers, located in the SE ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 9, Township 6 South, Range 89 West of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 2,200 feet south of the North Section line and 2,350 feet east of the West Section line of said Section 9; For the exchange of Ruedi Reservoir and/or Troy and Edith

Monthly evaporationwas calculated using the State Engineerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ ce guidelines and criteria as shown in Table 1 on ďŹ le with the Court. Although the Danis Well Pond System and Danis Entry Well Pond likely intercept groundwater, the evaporation depletions do not cause any delayed effects on the stream due to the continued surface inďŹ&#x201A;ows and because the groundwater elevation is several feet below the high water elevation. Downstream calls: The primary source of a water right call on Snowmass Creek and the Roaring Fork River is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cameo Callâ&#x20AC;? made by several downstream agricultural rights on the Colorado River near Grand Junction. These rights have historically placed a call on the Upper Colorado River during average and dry years for one week in April, one week in May, two weeks in June, all of July through October, and one week in November. Pursuant to this plan for augmentation, Applicant shall secure a BWCD Allotment Contract in the amount of up to 3.3 acre-feet to augment by exchange any mainstem call including the Cameo Call. Whenever a valid call is made by a senior water right with a point of diversion below the conďŹ&#x201A;uence of the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan Rivers, all out-of-priority evaporation depletions from the Danis Well Pond System and Danis Entry Well Pond shall be augmented by exchange by releases from the various BWCD water rights described in paragraph 23.B above. An augmentation schedule is outlined in Table 2. Applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fourth Claim below is for an appropriative right of exchange for the reaches between the point of depletion on Snowmass Creek and the downstream points of replacement on the Roaring Fork and/or Colorado Rivers. Colorado Water Conservation Board (â&#x20AC;&#x153;CWCBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;?) local call: The CWCB

holds instream ďŹ&#x201A;ow water rights in Snowmass Creek from its conďŹ&#x201A;uence with Capital Creek to the Roaring Fork River, and in the Roaring Fork River above its conďŹ&#x201A;uence with the Fryingpan River.

However, the Danis Well Pond System and Danis Entry Well Pond were present uses in existence before the CWCB appropriations. Therefore, pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-102(3)(b), Applicant is not proposing to replace evaporation depletions from the ponds to satisfy a CWCB call.Other local calls: Historically, senior agricultural water rights on Snowmass Creek and on the Roaring Fork River above its conďŹ&#x201A;uence with the Fryingpan River have not placed calls. However, if a valid call occurs, all out-of-priority evaporation depletions from Danis Well Pond System and Danis Entry Well Pond shall be replaced by releases of water from the main pond of the Danis Well Pond System and from the Danis Entry Well Pond that surcharged above the groundwater table due to in-priority diversions from the sources listed above. The releases shall be accomplished via outlet structures in both ponds that empty into Capital Creek and/or Snowmass Creek and shall be made in a volume equal to the actual evaporation depletions to the extent that the depletions are caused by uncontrolled inďŹ&#x201A;ow as estimated in Table 2. Table 2 outlines an augmentation schedule for any local call occurring between April and mid-November. The water that was diverted in priority into the ponds shall then draw down by evaporation and percolation into the groundwater table.

Additionally, Applicant can curtail water from ďŹ&#x201A;owing from the main pond of the Danis Well Pond System into the lined water feature ponds. Applicant shall install a staff gauge into, and create a detailed stage capacity curve for, both the Danis Well Pond System and Danis Entry Well Pond to fully implement this plan. Onsite storage releases from the Danis Well Pond System and Danis Entry Well Pond shall occur only in the event of local calls other than calls by the CWCB. FOURTH CLAIM: FOR CONDITIONAL APPROPRIATIVE RIGHT OF EXCHANGE.Name of structure: Danis Exchange.Location: Downstream Termini: The points of replacement on the Roaring Fork and/or Colorado Rivers of the BWCDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water rights listed in paragraph 23.B above and described with particularity as follows: For the exchange of Green Mountain Reservoir water: The conďŹ&#x201A;uence of the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers, located in the SE Âź of the NW Âź of Section 9, Township 6 South, Range 89 West of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 2,200 feet south of the North Section line and 2,350 feet east of the West Section line of said Section 9;

BOOK REVIEW

‘THE YELLOW BIRDS’ A POWERFUL AND wrenching novel of love and betrayal, war and atrocity, “The Yellow Birds” is the achingly sorrowful story of the descent into chaos of one young man and the utter destruction of another. Powers’ original intent in writing this novel was to answer the question most often posed to him about his two years of service in Iraq. “What was it like over there?”

It seemed to him that “this was not an information-based problem,” as there is plenty of information about the war, but rather an attempt to understand the reality and the experience of the war in Iraq. “The Yellow Birds” is his answer to that desire for understanding. This answer is artfully composed, painfully honest and intensely real.

The story is told from the perspective of Pvt. John Bartle. The book begins with Bartle and his best friend, Pvt. Daniel Murphy, “Murph,” moving with their company through the high plains of the

Nineveh Provence to Al Tafar. Bartle has realized, deep in his bones, that the war is trying to kill them all. It isn’t just him, nor even just the Americans, but everyone. He knows this because “the war came to me in my dreams and showed me its sole purpose: to go on, only to go on.” Powers has an incredible gift for communicating the physical and psychological territory that the war encompasses. His descriptions of battle, the people, the ennui and boredom, punctuated by moments of terror and confusion, could only be written by someone who has been there. As the story shifts from the horror and violence of the killing grounds to the anguish and pain of Bartle’s return home, we feel his bewilderment. How does he find his life again? Why should he try? It seems the war is still trying to kill him.

“The Yellow Birds” also poses difficult questions, the difference between collateral damage and murder in the

heat of battle, for example. He deftly exposes the absurdity and cynicism of the war machine as men are herded into a tent to fill out a multiple-choice questionnaire to determine their mental fitness to return home.

Powers speaks eloquently of the challenges facing the young men and women who have volunteered to put their bodies and minds on the line to serve their country. He reminds us that they are our children and they deserve better than returning home, damaged and disarticulated, to an institutional perfidy and disregard.

Friedrich Nietzsche is quoted as saying, “Whatever doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.” As this excellent novel clearly demonstrates, there are other, more terrible, possibilities.
