Beautiful 6-year-old German Shepherd.

Very friendly with people but not good with other dogs. We haven’t advertised her because she has cancer...but maybe, just maybe, there is someone who would be willing to give her a home. Call for more details.

COSMO AND CHLOE

Cosmo and Chloe are beautiful seventeenyear-old Tabby cats who were released to the shelter as a lifelong pair and we would like to keep them together. Sweet kitties!

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

POPULAR MUSIC ASPEN has gotten to know Grace Potter and her showstopping perfromances well over the years – with regular stops at Belly Up and multiple headlining gigs on the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day stage (including saving the day as a lastminute replacement after Fun canceled in 2014).

Potter, with a new album of songs in tow and her first without longtime backing band The Nocturnals, returns for a two-night Super Bowl weekend run at Belly Up on Friday, Feb. 5 and Saturday, Feb. 6.

The new solo record, titled “Midnight” and released in August, showcases Potter with a slicker pop sheen on her signature hardrocking style with a slate of new collaborators from Noelle Skaggs (Fitz & the Tantrums) to Wayne Coyne (The Flaming Lips) to Nick Oliveri (Queens of the Stone Age).

“I’ve experienced a huge amount of growth and change in the past two years — both personal and professional, and it can be overwhelming for an artist to find ways to express that in a vacuum,” says Potter, 32.

“So I tried to strip away the confines of other people’s expectations.”

The Vermont native’s powerhouse voice and instincts for infectious hooks remains as she steps out into this new phase in her career – and seeing how the new musical direction translates into her legendary live show should be something to behold.

The shows are scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m.

Tickets are $75 for general admission and $165 for reserved seats, available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen.com.

Read more about Potter in the Friday, Feb. 5 Weekend section of The Aspen Times.

Grace Potter returns to Belly Up Aspen for two nights of solo shows on Feb. 5 and 6.

CURRENTEVENTS CLASSICAL MUSIC

The Infamous Stringdusters will perform at Belly Up Aspen on Wednesday, Feb. 10.

POPULAR MUSIC

The Met HD broadcast of Verdi’s “Otello” will play at the Wheeler Opera House on Tuesday, Feb. 9.

THE ASPEN MUSIC FESTIVAL and School’s annual presentations of live video broadcasts of Metropolitan Opera productions opened in late January with Verdi’s “Il Trovatore” and continues on Tuesday, Feb. 9 with another opera from the Italian composer: “Otello.”

The Met production, filmed live in HD, will feature tenor Aleksandrs Antonenko as Shakespeare’s title character. The show at the Wheeler Opera House is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the Wheeler Opera House box office and at www.aspenshowtix.com

LOCAL FAVORITES and bluegrass stalwarts The Infamous Stringdusters bring their “Ladies & Gentlemen” tour to Belly Up Aspen on Wednesday, Feb. 10.

The Grammy nominees have joined the pantheon of leading jam bands, while preserving much of the traditional string music spirit of forebears like Bill Monro and Earl Scruggs.

“What we do is a hybrid of the improvisational and bluegrass worlds,” says banjo player Chris Pandolfi. “We take a lot of pride in that.”

The show is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. Tickets are $35 for general admission and $50 for reserved seats. Available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen.com.

Hi, my name is Lily. I am a 15 month old American Staffordshire Terrier mix. I am in search of my forever family. I am super sweet natured, a bit pudgy and I love to relax and cuddle! I also love to play with toys, play ball, and go for long walks (I need more to get some extra weight off :)). I can be a bit shy but once I warm up to new people and new surroundings, I come around and then I am my playful self. I get along well with other dogs.

I need a home without cats please. If you are interested in this darling girl, please first go to luckydayrescue.org and fill out an adoption application. Kelley 970-379-4606 LUCKY DAY ANIMAL RESCUE OF COLORADO

with JOHN COLSON

Caucus? Primary?

What’s it all mean?

I’VE BEEN READING about the Iowa caucus system, which leaps into action today (Feb. 1) at the pace of an arthritic turtle after a heavy meal, primed to be the first state to declare a winner in the race to become president of the U.S. of A. this year.

Due to my early deadline, I have no idea who will come out on top for Democrats, Republicans and any other parties daft enough to be pulling out all the stops for this contest.

But the winner is not my point here.

Rather, I’m puzzled and intrigued as to why we put so much emphasis on a vote-counting, nominating system that one online commentator referred to as “absurd,” although he also granted that the idea of gathering with neighbors and fellow politicos to pick a president “has a certain archaic charm.”

I should note here that Colorado also uses the caucus system, instead of a primary election, to choose its preferred presidential winner-to-be, although the Republican Party this year has opted to forego caucusing due to the large and confusing field of candidates.

Anyway, the declaration that the caucus system is “absurd” is in reference to the arcane, plodding way that caucuses go about their business in some 1,700 voter precincts across the sparsely populated state of Iowa.

There are a few more than 3 million people living there, and while there is little reporting about the numbers of people taking part in the caucus system, one estimate in 2004 indicated roughly 124,000 Democrats were involved that year.

By 2008, that number rose to nearly 240,000 for the Democrats, thanks largely to the face-off between then-Sen. Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, for a turnout of nearly 40 percent, but most observers have concluded that the turnout for Dems that year was an anomaly.

In general, turnout is roughly 20 percent of the registered voters for each party (as it was in 2008 for the Iowa GOP), and has held at that level for most elections so far in this century, in a state in which there are approximately 600,000 registered voters in each party.

So, if the numbers hold true, that could mean that perhaps 240,000 people per party in Iowa can be expected to be casting ballots in the first actual voting process in the national presidential race for this year.

The fact that those voters are largely white, middle-class, evangelical and very conservative, hardly a representative sample of today’s American voting bloc, is just one of the quirks of our political system.

Remember, too, that caucus votes

actually are meant to elect delegates to succeeding conventions at the district, state and national levels, which muddies the waters somewhat in making conclusions about winners and losers.

Thanks to its first-in-line status, the Iowa system has far greater clout than other state nominating contests, and has been studied and parsed over the years by various pundits and statisticians, so there is more to go on in terms of information about how this is all supposed to work, and what it all means.

And the information certainly is interesting, if not outright amusing to behold.

For instance, in Iowa, 17-year-olds can participate if their 18th birthday will come before the actual day of the national presidential election, Nov. 8.

The prevailing wisdom concerning how Iowa got to be the nation’s first-inline assessment of the presidential race is another somewhat amusing tidbit — it was all basically a mistake that got started in 1972, according to a political science professor from the University of Iowa.

The professor, named Cary Covington, told the New York Daily News that Iowa’s Democratic Party moved its caucus day to a date earlier than the New Hampshire primary that year “because of scheduling issues.” New Hampshire had held the firstin-time honors up until then, and no one was really that upset about the switch at the time.

But after Jimmy Carter won in Iowa four years later, propelling him to national prominence and into the White House, Iowa Republicans moved their caucus date, as well, and the pattern was established for giving candidates a chance at greater national exposure in an electoral system that wasn’t really an election.

Oh, there have been periodic spats among states to reshuffle the order of caucuses and primaries, but it’s still Iowa this week and New Hampshire next, on Feb. 9, followed by the rest of the states in a staggering display of also-ran politics.

According to figures published by the Iowa Caucus Project last year, turnout in the Republican caucuses and primaries of the remaining states hovers a little above 15 percent, leading the project website to conclude that Iowa actually does a little better than the rest of the nation in terms of getting people involved early in the political process.

What does all this mean?

Hell, I don’t know, I just felt like it was a good time for a very selective primer on the topic.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Freddie Fisher would turn to his back lot of junk for spare parts.

FIX IT Today’s throwaway culture contrasts greatly with that of my

1950s Aspen childhood. Built-in obsolescence had not yet taken over as an immoral business practice. Most appliances were made in America and over-engineered to last. But if something broke, a man in small town Aspen would figure out how to fix it.

Jeeps were the most popular vehicles not only because they could handle mountain snow and muck. Most people with tools could resurrect dead windshield wiper motors, replace headlight bulbs and rewire an occasional electrical problem. If your vehicle failed seriously, you went to the Jeep genius, Martin John Bishop.

Bishop would revive each Jeep and then add a few improvements. He invented a device that would keep transmissions from popping out of gear. Staying in gear was a good thing because Jeeps had terrible brakes. You wanted to drive down Aspen Mountain in low gear rather than careen with the speed of a ski racer.

TV did not hoard the attention of Aspen residents until the end of the 1950s. If your radio stopped working, silence ruled the evening. You opened the radio’s back and extracted a burned-out tube. You could buy a new tube at the local store. Problem solved.

Bernie Popish at Sardy’s hardware store solved many such problems.

When you showed him your broken item, he would locate a replacement part and explain what you had to do

IF YOUR VEHICLE FAILED SERIOUSLY, YOU WENT TO THE JEEP GENIUS, MARTIN JOHN BISHOP. to make your item like new. Broken shovel handle? Don’t throw it out, just pound on a new handle. Broken wagon wheel? Bernie would find the rightsized replacement and pick out the appropriate cotter pin to hold it on to the axle.

If your Timex — the old wind-up kind — stopped ticking, you may have coveted a new one. Rather than

eye, pop the back off your watch, and tell you in a few minutes whether the problem was terminal. If a diamond dislodged from your ring he would reassemble it. Broken necklace clasp? Breznitz would say, “Pick it up tomorrow.”

For major metal malfunctions such as a broken bike frame or a cracked snowplow attachment for the front of

your truck, you visited Zeke Clymer.

He would weld it back together. And then, on the spot, he would find a way to strengthen the item so it would never break again.

Appliances were metal, clunky and more prone to life’s vicissitudes.

If attempts at Sardy’s did not suffice, Freddie Fisher offered the ultimate recourse. Every time I dropped by his shop I found him at work repairing a toaster, washing machine or other contraption necessary to modern life.

Fisher, who ran a cash-only business, did not buy replacement parts. He crammed his back lot full of “junk” that people threw away rather than repaired.

He ran ads in The Aspen Times that reminded locals to deliver their wornout items to him instead of the dump.

He lived up to his own sobriquet, “Fisher The Fixer.” The man could repair nearly anything and enjoyed the challenge. Some of his solutions may have appeared unconventional, but he strived to save his customers money and to avoid having to buy new parts.

In those days, the saving grace of a wire coat hanger or duct tape could go a long way toward keeping the landfill empty. With Fisher’s help, locals wrung every tidbit of usefulness out of an object and then recycled the carcass.

Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective. Reach him at redmtn2@ comcast.net.

GO BRONCOS!

1987 ASPEN

ON JAN. 29, 1987, The Aspen Times described the anticipation in Aspen leading up to Super Bowl XXI, noting that “by 2 pm Sunday, Little Annie’s Eating House looked like a birthday party for Denver Bronco’s quarterback John Elway in preparation for the showdown between the Broncos and the New Jersey Giants- Superbowl XXI. Orange and blue balloons sprouted everywhere, the faithful were easing into the armchair quarterback mode with beers in hand and munchies pouring out from the kitchen, and the staff was decked out in bright orange BRONCO BUDDIES t-shirts. It wasn’t exactly tension you could feel in the air, more of a kind of nervous expectancy, like a shipbuilder on launch who all of a sudden realizes he may have programmed the navigational computer backwards. Around the bar, small signs announced the ‘reserved’ status of every table in the place, including one for a few token Giants fans, another for a pack of Swedes who have adopted Broncomania as a new social disease, and yet another for a bunch of Kiwis (New Zealanders) who have become both regular Bronco fans and regulars at Little Annie’s for football Sundays.” The Broncos lost this game, but went on to win two Super Bowls with John Elway several years later.

An American Moment THE SUPER BOWL TURNS 50

SUNDAY, FEB. 7, will mark the 50th anniversary of a game.

It is a game that unites us each winter. It is a game that moves us and compels us to watch, whether we care about the outcome or not. It is a game that has come to symbolize what we are as a nation and who we are as a people. It is the Super Bowl.

It would have been impossible to envision in January of 1967 that the Super Bowl would become the iconic event that it has matured into. The Los Angeles Coliseum was only 60 percent full for the game. Television ads (the game was shown on both CBS and NBC) sold for around $40,000 a spot. College marching bands provided the halftime entertainment.

This Sunday, an estimated average of 115 million Americans — one in three Americans — will be watching on television when the game is played. It will be broadcast in over 180 countries in 25 different languages. Demand for tickets could fill the stadium 10 times over.

Purchasing a pair on the 50 or in a box above the action could cost you more than the 30-second commercial did in that inaugural broadcast.

A television commercial will cost around $5 million. And at halftime, not one but three of the biggest musical acts in show business will take the stage Why do we care so much? Because the game is a microcosm of our daily lives. It is about teamwork and discipline. It is about overcoming

great odds and achieving great things. It is about people coming from nowhere and succeeding on a national stage. It is about drama and the idea that we have absolutely no idea of what will happen next. It is about being a part and playing a role as fans in something that is bigger than ourselves.

And it is about violence and money.

What is more American than that?

Part of the Super Bowl’s growth in status has been a result of perhaps the greatest marketing manipulation in American history. The NFL and its network partners have done a masterful job of taking a game where 22 players engage for 60 minutes in child’s play on a field that is 100 yards long by 53-and-a-third yards wide, and turned it into an American obsession. Tapping into

BY KELLY J. HAYES

our love of military, our desire to defeat cancer, our compassion for Hispanic heritage, our obsession with fitness and our need to join others in wearing the same logos and colors, they have created a juggernaut of profit and passion.

Along the way there have been misdeeds and missteps. Players have engaged in grotesque acts of domestic violence. The league ignored the damage done to the very players that have been responsible for its ascension into the pantheon of entertainment vehicles. Stadiums have been built at taxpayer expense that have enriched those who own the teams that play in them to incomparable wealth.

And yet the game continues to grow. The fans buy the tickets and the merchandise, and tune in ever-larger numbers to watch both the exploits and the foibles of the NFL and the amazing athletes who play the games.

Even in the offseason, the air pressure in a football becomes the subject of a national discussion on morality.

On Feb. 7, our home state team, the Denver Broncos, takes the field in an epic matchup in America’s single most significant annual event.

Thus, we thought it only appropriate to dedicate this entire edition of the Aspen Times Weekly to the Super Bowl — and our Denver Broncos. From food and drink to arts and the inside scoop on the teams, we share our thoughts with you.

So, read on ... but remember, it is just a game.

Millenials shell out dough for everything from snacks to big-screen TVs on Super Bowl Sunday.

WAVE YOUR WALLETS IN THE AIR MILLENNIALS SHELL OUT FOR SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

THE BIGGEST SPORTS day of the year, or perhaps of the century, is almost here. This Sunday, tens of thousands will gather at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Cali., and hundreds of millions (189 million to be somewhat exact) will coalesce behind television sets across the country to watch the two best NFL BARBARA teams (this season it’s PLATTS the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers) battle it out for the 50th year in a row.

For the National Football League, various media outlets, advertising partners, avid football fans, grocery stores, pizza and wing restaurants, liquor stores and most every person in the states of Colorado and North and South Carolina, this is one of, if not the, most important day of the year. For the millennial generation, it’s another glorious opportunity to party our faces off.

According to recent numbers posted by the National Retail Federation, millennials ages 25 to 34 are planning to spend more moola than any other age group for Super Bowl 50. The typical Super Bowl watcher will invest an average of $82 for the big day. Millennials will spend an average of $140.

The numbers show that the majority of our spending for America’s biggest holiday is allotted toward snacks. However,

50 percent of millennials credit the halftime show (which is expected to break viewership records this year), the commercials (each 30-second

NOW, I DON’T MEAN TO GENERALIZE AND SAY THAT THE ONLY REASON WE MILLENNIALS SPEND ALMOST DOUBLE THAT OF THE AVERAGE AMERICAN CONSUMER FOR SUPER BOWL SUNDAY IS BECAUSE WE TAKE OUR PARTYING SERIOUSLY AND OUR FOOTBALL...WELL, LESS SERIOUSLY. LUCKILY, OUR FRIENDS AT NRF HAVE FACTS TO BACK THIS UP. some of us ambitious younglings are also dropping dollar bills on new TVs for the special occasion and new furniture from which to watch it. Plus, you can’t forget the Denver Broncos beer koozies and the Carolina Panthers foam fingers, which should be on every millennial’s shopping list.

Now, I don’t mean to generalize and say that the only reason we millennials spend almost double that of the average American consumer for Super Bowl Sunday is because we take our partying seriously and our football ...well, less seriously. Luckily, our friends at NRF have facts to back this up. When queried about why we watch the Super Bowl, more than

Febr u ar y 4 - Febr u ar y 10, 20 16

slot cost an average of $4.8 million) and/or the opportunity to hang out with friends (a.k.a. party). To add icing to this massive number cake, millennials are also more likely to host a party for Super Bowl Sunday than any other age group, with three in 10 planning game day bashes.

The NRF has graciously put out these numbers for all of us to analyze. But what do they show?

For me, it justifies the way I’ve always seen the Super Bowl, as a proud bandwagon fan. This holiday is great because of all the high caloric snacks, cheap beer and good company. Plus, there’s always at least a couple fantastic Budweiser and Doritos commercials and

usually Chrysler comes out with a “Made in Detroit” ad, which practically induces tears for the automobile industry in America.

And we can’t forget the halftime show that is always pleasantly over the top. This year with Coldplay, Beyonce and Bruno Mars will be no exception. For others, perhaps the advertisers during the Super Bowl, these numbers on millennials are telling because they show that, while we may not put football above everything else, we certainly invest in the phenomenon behind it. We like to feel included in all grand celebrations, even if we aren’t entirely sure what it is we are celebrating.

So ... as the big day gets closer, don’t feel bad about shelling out some cash to ensure you have a smorgasbord of goodies from pigs in a blanket and nachos to domestic lights and Coca-Cola.

And if you aren’t feeling the game day spirit just yet, please contact your nearest millennial. They will know what to do.

Barbara Platts looks forward to Super Bowl Sunday every year because it’s the only day she feels warranted to eat her body weight in pigs in a blanket. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

WINEINK

by KELLY J. HAYES

WINE AND THE BIG GAME WHEN THE CLOCK strikes zero at the end of Super Bowl 50 this Sunday night you might expect the winning team to head to their locker room for a traditional Champagne celebration.

Ummmm, not exactly. You see, in the NFL, there is a strict edict that no alcohol be allowed in the clubhouse at any time.

Win or lose. In fact, the NFL does not allow KELLY J. alcohol at any HAYES club functions.

In 2007, Commissioner Roger Goodell wrote in a letter to all 32 NFL teams, “Effective immediately, clubs are prohibited from providing alcoholic beverages, including beer, in any club setting, including in locker rooms, practice or office facilities, or while traveling, including on team buses or flights.”

That settles that.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS The post-game scene you may be envisioning, with excited players in various states of dress, or undress, wearing goggles and spraying or pouring Champagne, is likely born from memories of the World Series.

This year, the Kansas City Royals reveled in the bubbly excitement of the moment after defeating the New York Mets by opening magnums of Champagne and getting post-Series showers under the spray of the yeasty liquid.

Following their victory in the NBA Championship last year, the Golden State Warriors repaired to their locker room for a soaking of Mumm’s Napa Valley sparkling wine that had been brought to Cleveland

expressly for the celebration. And, after winging their way back to the Bay Area, the champions gathered at a club where a Nebuchadnezzar of Luc Belaire (a sparkler that has achieved respect in the worlds of some athletes and entertainers), was purchased, sprayed and poured into the wee hours. A Nebuchadnezzar holds 20 regular-size bottles of wine and there are 15 players allowed to be under contract on NBA teams. You do the math.

And players in the NHL have had a traditional use for the Stanley Cup for more than a century. Going back to 1896, when the Winnipeg Victorias won Lord Stanley’s silver chalice, drinking Champagne from the top bowl has been a shared novelty. In 2011, the Boston Bruins took the Cup to Las Vegas for an evening of debauchery that included the purchase of a 30-liter bottle of Ace of Spades, “Midas,” another bottling that is favored by the aforementioned athletes and entertainers. They ran up a tab of $156,697, of which $100,000 was for the Midas.

Nothing exceeds like excess.

NFL WINEMAKERS While there may be a rule for players and team personal, the 50th anniversary Super Bowl will be played scant miles from California wine country and you can bet that many of those who are in attendance, owners included, will be drinking their share of California cabernet. In fact, there is a tradition of NFL-ers in the wine trade.

Here are three with Super Bowl rings who are now making wines: Dick Vermeil, who was born in the heart of wine country in Calistoga, California, coached the Eagles,

Invites you to a Scotch whisky dinner featuring

Hosted by Robert Sickler, The Voice of Whisky and Will Nolan, Executive Chef

Rams and Chiefs and has a Super Bowl ring from the St. Louis Rams victory in Super Bowl XXXIV over the Tennessee Titans. Following a coaching and broadcasting career, he returned to Napa and started the eponymous Vermeil Wine label with friends and locals in the wine business. Vermeil Wines makes about 2,000 cases annually, focusing on cabernet sauvignon and zinfandel, many sourced from acclaimed singlevineyard sites in the Valley. He makes a red blend called “XXXIV,” which is an homage to his Super Bowl winning season. Even the NFL can’t trademark simple Roman numerals.

More recently, Charles Woodson, the man who won the Heisman Trophy in 1997 (beating out a University of Tennessee quarterback named Peyton Manning for the honor), has become a Napa Valley vintner. Twenty-Four is the name of his wines, again paying an homage to his playing career by using the number he wore during his tenure with the Oakland Raiders. Whether he can duplicate his success in the wine industry remains to be seen, but he is off to a great start. Producing Napa cab from fruit sourced in the Calistoga appellation on a vineyard owned by the Heitz family, Charles Woodson Wines is poised to be a player now that Woodson’s final NFL game, this year’s Pro Bowl, is behind him.

But perhaps the most promising current foray into wine by an ex-NFL player is a project called “Doubleback” produced in Walla Walla, Washington, by Drew Bledsoe and his winemaking partner, Chris Figgins of Leonetti fame. Yes, quarterbacks get all the glory and if initial releases of these Bordeaux-

style beauties are any indication, Bledsoe will be once again be winning trophies.

Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and black Lab named Vino.

He can be reached at malibukj@ aol.com.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE 2012 RIDGE MONTE BELLO When people think of great California vineyards in the Bay Area they usually turn to Napa. But Monte Bello, one of the best vineyards in all of California, is on a mountain top in the Santa Cruz Mountains less than 20 miles as the crow flies from the 50 yard line of Levi’s Stadium. You can actually see the stadium from the neighborhood where the original Ridge winery is located. Ah, but this more than just a location call. This Bordeaux Blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Cab Franc is a true California classic from an epic vintage. Deep red, full of plums and dark fruits, it may be too soon to play this rookie, but if you do, look out. It’s a winner.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

‘CHICKEN PARM YOU TASTE SO GOOD!’ CHICKEN PARM YOU TASTE SO GOOD… One of this year’s most played commercials has been for Nationwide Insurance. It stars Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning humming the Nationwide theme and using his own lyrics with “Chicken Parm you taste so good…”

So what could be better than Chicken Parmesan for your Super Bowl party? Here is a recipe from Melissa Clark of the New York Times.

Serve it up straight. Or, if you prefer it Manning’s way, layer it onto to a buttered and toasted baguette or focaccia.

CHICKEN PARMESAN (Six servings) 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (or use chicken thighs for even more flavor) ½ cup all-purpose flour 3 large eggs 2 to 3 cups panko bread crumbs, as needed Kosher salt, as needed Black pepper, as needed Olive oil, for frying 5 cups Simple Tomato Sauce (see recipe below; or use your go-to sauce) 1 cup finely grated Parmesan, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano ½ pound fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-sized pieces

PREPARATION 1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Place cutlets between two pieces of parchment or plastic wrap. Using a kitchen mallet or rolling pin, pound meat to even 1/4-inch-thick slices.

16

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

F

2. Place flour, eggs and panko into three wide, shallow bowls.

Season meat generously with salt and pepper. Dip a piece in flour, then eggs, then coat with panko. Repeat until all the meat is coated.

3. Fill a large skillet with 1/2inch oil. Place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry cutlets in batches, turning halfway through, until golden brown.

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

4. Spoon a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a 9-by13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle one-third of the Parmesan over sauce. Place half of the cutlets over the Parmesan and top with half the mozzarella pieces. Top with half the remaining sauce, sprinkle with another third of the Parmesan, and repeat layering, ending with a final layer of sauce and Parmesan.

5. Transfer pan to oven and bake until cheese is golden and casserole is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving.

SIMPLE TOMATO SAUCE (About 5 cups) ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced ¼ teaspoon red chile flakes (optional) 2 (28-ounce) cans whole or diced plum tomatoes 2 sprigs basil or 1 bay leaf ½ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste ¼ teaspoon black pepper

PREPARATION 1. In a large, straight-sided skillet over medium heat, warm

Febr u ar y 4 - Febr u ar y 10, 20 16

the oil. Add garlic and cook until just lightly golden. Add chile flakes if desired and cook 30 seconds.

2. Stir in tomatoes and juices, basil or bay leaf, and salt and pepper.

3. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook until sauce is thick and tomatoes have mostly fallen apart, about 30 to 40 minutes.

Adjust heat as needed to keep at a

steady simmer. If using whole plum tomatoes, mash them up with the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher to help them break down. Remove sauce from heat and discard basil or bay leaf.

by KELLY J. HAYES & JEANNE MCGOVERN

SUPER BOWL SIPS Wondering what to drink on Super Bowl Sunday? Well, if you are a Carolina fan, may we suggest a Panther Creek Pinot Noir from Oregon? Prefer the Broncos? Then perhaps try something from the Bronco Wine Company, the purveyor of “Two Buck Chuck,” aka Charles Shaw Wines, amongst many other budget brands. But better yet, beer and the Super Bowl are a great mix, and currently

MAKE IT

there are a number of Colorado brewers who have made the move to North Carolina. That’s right, rather than Bud, pop a can of Oskar Blues. The company has opened a new brewery in Brevard, North Carolina, so by drinking their suds you can support both teams. Same is true by buying a New Belgium. The Fort Collins-based brewer is days away from debuting their latest facility in Asheville, North Carolina. And, of course, there are lists and lists of orange and blue drinks circulating the Web; just Google “Broncos cocktail” to find one that suits your fancy. For our part, the cocktails that showcase our team colors in stacked fashion take to honors, like the one a Front Range friend plans to serve at her Super Bowl party (see recipe).

LIBATIONS WAS CREATED BY BELOVED ASPEN TIMES PUBLISHER GUNILLA ASHER, WHO DIED JUNE 2, 2014, AFTER A BRAVE BATTLE WITH CANCER. CHEERS — TO GUNNER!

Crushed ice Orange soda Airheads Fruit Squeezers Blue Raspberry Approx. 2 ounces vodka Straws Add the crushed ice to the serving glasses all the way to the tops of the glasses. Put the straws into the glasses, and pack the ice in tight. Add more crushed ice if needed.

Pour the Airheads Fruit Squeezers Blue Raspberry over the ice until the glass is half full of the blue color. Add 1/2 the vodka, and let it sit for a moment so all of the blue color goes to the bottom.

Tilt the glass slightly, and slowly add the orange soda to fill the glass to the top. Slowly add the other 1/2 of the vodka.

‘NOTHING SCREAMS FOOTBALL LIKE DRIPPY PIANO NOODLING AND A GOOD CRY’

COLDPLAY AND THE NATIONAL PASTIME OF HATE-WATCHING THE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW YOU MAY LOVE IT. You may hate it. But if you’re like most Americans, you love to hate-watch it.

The Super Bowl halftime show, with its bloated production, ludicrous pageantry and random guest performers, has become a time when we all gather around the tube and laugh at pop stars.

Think of the gifts it’s bestowed upon the culture in the new millennium: Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction,” Katy Perry’s dance party with “Left Shark” and friends, Flea — one of the great bass players of rock history — dancing around pretending to play an unplugged bass as speakers blared a pre-recorded track. In the age of on-demand TV and bingewatching, the crappiness of the halftime show offers one of the few true Monday morning water cooler moments we have left.

Time was, the show was a relatively modest affair. It featured marching bands and local performers (clarinetist Pete Fountain headlined games at the Louisiana Superdome — twice!) and weird chintzy skits (New Kids on the Block and Disney characters in 1991!) and Up With People (really: the morally upright edu-tainment outfit headlined four times between 1976 and 1986).

Back in 1992 on “The Simpsons” — in the episode when Lisa assists Homer’s football betting — Bart echoed the feeling of many Americans as he watched an interminable and cheesy Super Bowl halftime show featuring costumed aliens, pleading: “Come on snipers, where are you?”

But Michael Jackson changed that.

His 1993 performance of “Heal the World” and other songs led to record ratings and ushered in our age of mega-hyped stadium rock shows.

The problem, of course, is that most performers are not charismaticearly-’90s Michael Jackson. Up With People, Pete Fountain or some guys in alien suits might be an improvement on the over-stuffed gaudy pop fare of recent halftimes.

There have been a few exceptions.

The 2002 show by U2, including a

TO P TO B OT TO M : C H R I S P I Z Z E L L O / A P ; M AT T S AY L E S / A P

tribute to the victims of 9/11 during “Where the Streets Have No Name,” was genuinely moving (and I may be biased, because I was at the game working as a beer vendor). Props to Prince for his phallic purple guitar in 2007. Springsteen rocked in 2009.

I admired Madonna’s over-the-top Cirque du Soleil show in 2012.

What’s happened recently — as musical tastes have fractured with the onset of streaming — is that there aren’t many genuine stadium-sized pop stars anymore. Few musicians are joining the stable of MJs and Springsteens and U2s and Madonnas (Taylor Swift or Adele, neither of whom have played a Super Bowl, are about all we’ve got at that level of pop music world domination in 2016).

And so we get Super Bowl halftime shows of either aged rockers (The Who in ’10, Tom Petty in ’08, The Rolling Stones in ’06, Paul McCartney in ’05) or weird combinations that network producers hope will hit all their advertisers’ demographics (Katy Perry with Lenny Kravitz, Missy Elliot and “Left Shark” last year,

Bruno Mars with the aforementioned lip- and bass-syncing Red Hot Chili Peppers the year before, the Black Eyed Peas, Usher and — but of course — Slash of Guns N’ Roses in 2011).

So this year, as our Broncos take on the Panthers, we get Coldplay.

They’re one of the few new-ish acts that can fill stadiums, sure, but is Chris Martin’s emo croon fit for American football? I think Bill Maher put it best recently on “Real Time,” noting with his characteristic snark: “The NFL needs to remember when it’s booking the halftime show: we’re watching football! This year’s Super Bowl act is Coldplay. Because nothing screams football like drippy piano noodling and a good cry. Come on, we’re celebrating a bunch of violent meatheads with brain damage: get Kid Rock!”

Which isn’t a bad idea. But instead, the NFL has announced cameos from halftime alums Bruno Mars and Beyonce (who reunited with Destiny’s Child at halftime in 2013) to join Coldplay and, one presumes, cheer us up a bit. And that might not be so

terrible — Bruno Mars and Beyonce are pure, old-school entertainers.

Of course, instead of complaining, we can always switch over to the “Puppy Bowl” on Animal Planet (which features cute puppies in competition and continues a tradition of counter-programming against crappy Super Bowl halftime fare extending back to Fox’s “In Living Color” and MTV’s “Beavis and Butthead” alternative shows in the early to mid-1990s). But, honestly, it’ll probably more fun to stay tuned in and mock whatever they give us. atravers@aspentimes.com

ESCAPE ARTIST | SAN FRANCISCO

by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY

WHAT TO SEE, DO & TASTE AT SUPER BOWL 50 FEW COULD HAVE imagined the popularity of today’s National Football League when representatives from four Ohio football clubs gathered nearly a century ago in Canton, Ohio, to establish a new standard of professional football.

Today, each NFL game attracts nearly 70,000 attendees, and the Super Bowl, which has become a secular holiday for many Americans, has AMIEE WHITE more than 1 million BEAZLEY people expected to attend the week-long festivities in the Bay Area leading up to Super Bowl 50 on Feb. 7, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

If you are heading to San Francisco for the game, here are eight things not to miss.

PLAN FOR FREE SUPER BOWL PERKS Super Bowl City, located at Justin Herman Plaza, on the Embarcadero at the foot of Market Street, is the free-to-the-public fan village offering free activities and entertainment.

Music headliners Alicia Keys, Chris Isaak, One Republic and Matt Nathansan will perform on the City Stage while the Fan Stage will have rallies, chalk talks, player appearances and photo opportunities. The Fan Energy Zone celebrates the Bay Area’s leadership in technology and

innovation, and will showcase the latest in interactive gaming, social media and data visualizations.

MORNING RUN OVER THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE End your morning run with an out and back along the Golden Gate Bridge. At just 1.7-miles one-way, approximately 120,000 automobiles drive across it every day. A pedestrian walkway also allows the crossing on foot, and bikes are allowed on the western side.

TAKE THE KIDS FOR A CABLE CAR RIDE Cable cars have been transporting people around San Francisco since the late 19th century. The cars run on tracks and are moved by an underground cable on three routes.

Tickets ($7) may be purchased at the cable car turnarounds at the ends of each route. Each one-way ride will provide spectacular views of the city’s celebrated hills as well as exhilarating transportation.

LISTEN TO THE SYMPHONY PLAY MUSIC OF NFL FILMS The San Francisco Symphony joins the Super Bowl festivities with two events celebrating the intersection of

sports and music on Feb. 3-4 in Davies Symphony Hall. Concerts feature the iconic music and filmmaking of Emmy Award-winning NFL Films, with conductor Joshua Gersen leading the Orchestra in live accompaniment.

WALK THROUGH THE OLDEST CHINATOWN Chinese New Year is the day after the Super Bowl, on Monday, Feb. 8, and will be sure to keep the Super Bowl festivities alive. The entrance to Chinatown at Grant Avenue and Bush Street is called the “Dragon’s Gate.” Inside are 24 blocks of hustle and bustle, most of it taking place along Grant Avenue, the oldest street in San Francisco.

VISIT THE MUSEUMS The Asian Art Museum, the de Young Museum, the Legion of Honor and other museums and galleries are devoted to the finest of classical and contemporary arts. San Francisco is also home to the California Academy of Sciences, the only place on the planet with an aquarium, a planetarium, a natural history museum, and a four-story rainforest all under one roof.

“Maritime Arts — At Sea and

Ashore,” is a new exhibit at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park’s Maritime Museum, and showcases examples of work from the sailors’ trade. “Maritime Arts” is open daily, from 10 a.m.4 p.m. with no admission fee, and is located at the west end of Fisherman’s Wharf.

Game ON!

BY KELLY J. HAYES

A GAME PREVIEW This Sunday, Feb. 7, the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos will meet in Super Bowl 50.

When all is said and done it will come down to how the two teams perform on this given Sunday.

Here is a look at the two teams and how they match up.

WHEN THE BRONCOS HAVE THE BALL:

Denver Offense At the start of this season the new Denver Head Coach, Gary Kubiak, wanted a team that ran the ball and won with defense.

Well, the second part worked out well, but that running stuff? Ehhh. Denver averaged 107 yards per game (17th in the NFL) on the ground this year with a running attack led by Ronnie Hillman and CJ Anderson.

While the pair combined for over 1,500 yards at the running back position, there has never been a sense that Denver can dominate on the ground. A solid running game would do wonders to take pressure off of QB Peyton Manning. If Denver rushes for, say, 90 yards in the first half that would be a sign things are going well for Denver.

Which leads us to the Broncos passing attack featuring a pair of 1,000-yard receivers in Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. Thomas caught 13 passes in his last Super Bowl appearance (the crushing loss to Seattle) and, in his last game versus Carolina in

24

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

F

2012, he caught nine passes for 135 yards. And Sanders has been a reliable veteran leader since coming to Denver last season. Add to those two Owen Daniels, the tight end who caught both of Denver’s touchdowns in the AFC Championship Game, and you have a potent passing attack.

That is, if Peyton can just get them the ball — 17 regular season interceptions are cause for concern but he was clearly injured when he threw many of those. In his three games back since returning from a foot injury, he has thrown 78 passes with nary a pick. Can he keep it up? There were also some significant misses against the Patriots in the last game. Peyton will have had two weeks to get back to his old ways.

Looking for a sleeper? Vernon Davis, a backup tight end, has not been the factor Denver had hoped for when they signed him mid-season. But he is returning to the Bay Area where he enjoyed a stellar career and he has seven post season touchdowns in his career, tied for second all time behind the Patriots Rob Gronkowski.

Carolina Defense Though they lack the gaudy numbers of the Broncos D, Carolina allowed nearly 40 more yards per game than Denver. This is a formidable bunch on all three levels.

In the NFC Championship game they forced seven turnovers against the Arizona Cardinals and they led the NFL with 39 total takeaways.

Up front, Kawann Short is a force against both

Febr u ar y 4 - Febr u ar y 10, 20 16

the pass and the run. The Pro Bowler was the NFC Defensive Player of the Month in both October and December. He had 11 sacks including four games with two sacks or more. And all that while playing inside at Defensive Tackle.

The LB corp features not one, but two stars, in Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis. Kuechly has returned interceptions for touchdowns in each of the last two post-season games and in one game this year, against Dallas, he had interceptions on two consecutive plays.

And Davis was the only player with five-plus sacks and three-plus interceptions this season. He broke his right arm versus Arizona and had surgery the following morning but, as the emotional leader of the Panthers, he will undoubtedly play.

And one of the biggest surprises of the season was the emergence of Panthers shut down corner Josh Norman.

His tussle with Demaryius Thomas should be a critical factor in who wins the game. And Peyton better not sleep on Safety Kurt Coleman who was third in the NFL with seven interceptions this year and who picked a pair of passes against the Cards in the NFC Championship.

Carolina’s 24 interceptions led the League this year.

WHEN THE PANTHERS HAVE THE BALL:

Carolina Offense The Panthers lost one of their best players before the season even began when receiver Kelvin Benjamin

P H OT S O B Y T H E A S S O C I AT E D P R E S S

injured his knee. At the start of the year, they were 60-1 odds to win the Super Bowl. (Denver was 9-1). All they did was win 15 games and lead the league in points, averaging 31.3 per game.

While Panthers’ QB Cam Newton is clearly the most impressive offensive force in the game he did have a solid supporting cast.

Running back Jonathan Stewart missed a 1K season by just 11 yards and has averaged 5.0 yards per carry in the playoffs, scoring a pair of touchdowns.

Previously known as a kick returner, Ted Ginn Jr. emerged as a threat as both a receiver and a runner. Catching 10 TDs in the regular season, Ginn Jr. also cut loose on a 22-yard TD run versus Arizona in the NFC Championship game. And tight end Gregg Olson had his second 1K season in the last two years. In his last game against the Broncos, he scored a pair of TDs. But as Newton goes, so goes the Carolina offense. He was responsible for 45 touchdowns this season, 10 on the ground and 35 passing, of the 54 scored by the Carolina offense. Perhaps no team in the NFL has one player who is more important to their success than Carolina. The nickname “Superman” may not be high enough praise for his talents.

Denver Defense If Denver wins Super Bowl 50 it will surely be because they have one of the best defenses ever assembled. Credit John Elway with bringing in outstanding talent.

The best defense statistically in the NFL, allowing just 288 yards per game, the numbers don’t do justice to just how outstanding they have been. Forget about the Orange Crush, this is the real deal. The AFC Championship game, and the way they harassed Tom Brady, showed that Denver’s defense is the most dominating force in football.

The D Line is loaded with both Derek Wolfe and Malik Jackson becoming better players at defensive ends as the season has progressed.

Combined, the line backing crew of Von Miller, DeMarcus Ware, Brandon Marshall and the under-rated Danny Trevathan are the best in the League.

And the corner backs Chris Harris Jr. and Aquib Talib have both had monster years.

If there is an issue it is at the safety position, where both TJ Ward and Darian Stewart have been listed as questionable with injuries suffered in the AFC Championship.

Don’t forget Bradley Roby, the back-up DB who scored the game winning TD against Kansas City and forced a key fumble against Pittsburgh in the playoffs. He has a knack for making the big play.

SPECIAL TEAMS Of course these games often come down to a kick. A missed extra point by the Patriots changed the AFC Championship game dramatically.

The Broncos kicker Brandon McManus missed just one extra point this year and in the first game of the season connected on both a 57-yard and a 56-yard field goal. He is perfect in

the playoffs with seven field goals, including five in the win over Pittsburgh.

For Carolina, Graham Gano missed three extra points in the regular season and was 30 of 36 on field goals, with a long of 52 yards. He has a career long of 59 yards, but that was five years ago when he was a Washington Redskin.

COACHING So let me get this straight….Gary Kubiak, a former quarterback and offensive coordinator, is Head Coach of the Broncos who have the top defense in the NFL. Ron Rivera, a former linebacker and defensive coordinator, is the Head Coach of the Panthers who have the highest scoring offense in the NFL. Huh? Well, credit the current coordinators. Wade Phillips is the Defensive Coord for Denver and Mike Shula is the Offensive Coord for Carolina.

They have been key components — perhaps the key components in the success of these two teams.

And they have a history.

Both are sons of coaches who coached against each other in the 1970s and 80s. The late Bum Phillips, Wade’s father, coached the Houston Oilers and the New Orleans Saints for five years each from 1975-1985. Mike’s Father, Don, is the winningest Head Coach in NFL history with 328 victories. It is lore that when the senior Phillips once lined up to play the senior Shula he said in regards to Shula’s coaching prowess, “He can take his’n and beat your’n or he can take your’n and beat his’n.”

It will be interesting to watch whose’n gets the advantage on Sunday.

SO WHO WILL WIN? The Denver Defense will lead the Broncos, and Peyton Manning, to a storybook ending.

And, it is possible it will come down to a final drive field goal attempt. If it is Gano, he misses.

If it is McManus, he makes it.

But what do I know?

About The Author: OUR OWN MALIBU KELLY HAYES Malibu Kelly Hayes, the Spotter on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, has played a role in 13 of the first 49 Super Bowls.

He moved to Aspen on Super Bowl Sunday 1993, arriving just in time to see Leon Lett fumbling the ball before he crossed the goal line.

With all that history, his favorite Super Bowl was the first. “I was a 10-yearold offensive lineman for the Venice, California, Pee-Wee Blues. My family drove to San Diego to watch the game because it was blacked out in L.A.,” Kelly said. “I’ll never forget my father climbing the roof to put tin-foil on the antenna so that we could get a better picture. He rooted for the Packers, and I rooted for the Chiefs. He won.”

Memories are what sport is all about.

Malibu Kelly Hayes pens the WineInk column for the Aspen Times Weekly. The photo above was taken during the 1966 football season, which was the season that the Packers and the Chiefs met in the first Super Bowl in January of 1967.

NEED TO KNOW: SUPER BOWL HITS & BITS Here are 11 things to know before the Big Game.

1) WHERE AND WHEN CAN I WATCH THE GAME? CBS will broadcast Super Bowl 50 with playby-play announcer Jim Nantz and former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms as analyst.

Simms beat the Broncos in the Super Bowl in 1987.

Sideline commentators are Tracy Wolfson and Evan Washburn and former NFL official Mike Carey is also available for rules analysis.

The kick-0ff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m., Aspen Daylight Time, on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2016. On local Comcast cable, CBS lives on Channel 4.

This year CBS will be debuting two new camera innovations. Pylon cam features eight tiny cameras inserted in the pylons in each end zone that providing low-angle replays. EyeVision 360 is a technology that employs 36 cameras on the rim of the stadium that simultaneously record the action and allow for a single freeze frame from an individual perspective.

Will it enhance coverage? We’ll see.

2) WHERE IS THE GAME? Levi’s Stadium, the site of Super Bowl 50, is in Santa Clara, California, 40 miles south of downtown San Francisco. Opened last year, it is home for the San Francisco 49ers. It is considered the most technologically advanced stadium in the NFL and every seat is WiFi capable.

Levi’s Stadium’s capacity was boosted from 68,500 to just beyond 75,000 seats for the game to meet the NFL requirement for a minimum of 70K for a Super Bowl. A new field, grown in the Central Valley of California, was laid down on Jan. 11, just two days after the Run the Road to Super Bowl 50 5K & 10K finished on the stadium’s 50-yard line. Turf has been a problem at Levi’s Stadium, so be aware of potential issues for the players. Especially the kickers.

Next year the Super Bowl is in Houston, Texas, at NRG Stadium, and the following year it will be in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at a new stadium that is still under construction.

3) WHAT DO THE WISE GUYS SAY? In the most important city without an NFL team (yet) the pros in the sports books are working overtime. The Panthers opened as 4.5 point favorites over the Broncos. But big money has come in on Carolina pushing the spread to 6 points. The over/ under is at 45.5.

So, as of this writing, this means that the Wise Guys say the Panthers will beat the Broncos 26-20.

Or so. This could all change by game time of course.

4) WHY ARE THE BRONCOS WEARING WHITE INSTEAD OF ORANGE? In even years, the AFC Champion is the designated home team and gets to select which uniforms they wish to wear. The Broncos chose their road white uniforms.

In Denver’s seven previous Super Bowl appearances they have worn white twice and are 1-1 in those games. When wearing their orange jerseys

26

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

F

they are 0-4. Perhaps the most famous play in Bronco’s Super Bowl history came when John Elway, clad in a blue jersey, helicoptered to a first down when the Broncos bested the Packers.

In addition, 10 of the last 11 Super Bowl winners have played in white jerseys. The exception? The Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXV. Oh, and the Panthers have opted to rock black jerseys and, as the visiting team, will call the opening coin toss.

time, Bruno Mars and Beyonce will join Coldplay on the extravagant stage set up on the field. Coldplay?

Well, they just released a new album last week, “A Head Full of Dreams,” and they have announced a new tour in six NFL stadiums this summer. And you can get tickets at CITI!! Whatever.

Both the Eagles and the Jefferson Airplane would have been great choices for Super Bowl halftimes in the Bay Area. RIP Glen Frey and Paul Kantner.

5) WHO SELLS THE MOST NFL JERSEYS?

There has been much discussion in the past two weeks about Cam Newton and his role as a black quarterback. Some of it initiated by Cam himself.

If Carolina wins he will become the third black quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl following Doug Williams of the Washington Redskins and Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks. Both beat the Broncos.

If the Panthers win, Newton will be the first quarterback to win the Heisman Trophy, the College National Championship and the Super Bowl. Three other players, Tony Dorsett, Marcus Allen and Charles Woodson, also completed the trifecta but they all played other positions. Oh, and Newton also led Blinn College to a Junior College Championship.

We see a lot of Peyton Manning’s #18 jerseys in Colorado, but in fact there are a lot them everywhere. Manning’s Bronco #18 ranked fifth among all NFL players this past sales season (from March 1, 2015 to Nov. 30, 2015), according to NFL Players. Inc Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks #3 jersey is the top seller.

The only non-QB in the top five? That would be the No. 88 worn by the Dallas Cowboys’ Dez Bryant.

Cam Newtons’ #1 was ranked No. 22, second on the team to Luke Kuechley’s #59. I suspect these numbers will change in the near future.

6) WHO’S PERFORMING AT HALFTIME? The NFL is bringing back two performers who have been on stage in recent years, and no, it is not left shark and right shark who performed flanking Katy Perry in last year’s most watched halftime in history.

At sometime between, say, 6 and 6:30 p.m. Aspen

Febr u ar y 4 - Febr u ar y 10, 20 16

7) THE ANSWER IS: DOUG WILLIAMS AND RUSSEL WILSON

8) WHAT IS A CATCH? Yes, there will controversy.

And this year the biggest controversy swirled around the revised interpretation of what a “catch” is. I know, you are saying, “a catch is when a player

P H OTO S B Y T H E A S S O C I AT E D P R E S S

catches the ball.” Um, not exactly. Here is the rulebook reading of what constitutes a completion: A player who makes a catch may advance the ball. A forward pass is complete (by the offense) or intercepted (by the defense) if a player, who is inbounds: 1. secures control of the ball in his hands or arms prior to the ball touching the ground; and 2. touches the ground inbounds with both feet or with any part of his body other than his hands; and 3. maintains control of the ball after (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, until he has clearly become a runner (see 3-2-7 Item 2).

Note: If a player has control of the ball, a slight movement of the ball will not be considered a loss of possession. He must lose control of the ball in order to rule that there has been a loss of possession.

If the player loses the ball while simultaneously touching both feet or any part of his body to the ground, it is not a catch.

Got that?

9) HOW MANY SUPER BOWLS HAVE THESE TEAMS PLAYED IN? This will be the Broncos’ eighth Super Bowl appearance in the 50 games and they have lost five including their first four appearances. That is more losses than any other team. Their two wins came in back-to-back seasons behind quarterback John Elway, who led Denver to victories over the Green Bay Packers and the Atlanta Falcons in the final two Super Bowls of the last century in 1998 an 1999.

Elway retired after that second win.

The Carolina Panthers have played in one Super Bowl, ironically under Coach John Fox, who was the Broncos’ coach for their last Super Bowl loss. Fox was the losing coach in that game as well, as the New England Patriots kicked a game winning Field Goal in the final seconds to win 32-29.

10) A BAD OMEN FOR THE BRONCOS? The latest Super Bowl game ever was played on

Feb. 7, 2010. It kicked off at 6:32 p.m. If this game kicks off after that it will officially be the latest game. In that game, Peyton Manning quarterbacked the Indianapolis Colts against his hometown New Orleans Saints, the team his father was once a star on.

Late in the fourth quarter, with the Colts trailing 24-17, Manning was driving the Colts for a tying touchdown when he threw an interception to Tracy Porter, who took it 74 yards for a touchdown sealing the win for the Saints 31-14.

Ouch.

11) A GOOD OMEN FOR THE BRONCOS? Bronco’s cornerback Aquib Talib scored two touchdowns this season on interception returns.

They were the seventh and eighth TDs on interception returns in his career, the most by any active player in the NFL. I know, Charles Woodson had 11, but he just retired.

Anyway, one of the most amazing Super Bowl stats is that there have been 12 Super Bowl Games where an interception has been returned for a touchdown.

The team that accomplished the feat has won all 12 of those games. Just sayin’.

CAM AND THE MAN(NING): THE LEADING ACTORS IN SUPER BOWL 50 There will be much talk over Super Bowl weekend about the differences between the two starting quarterbacks. And rightly so.

After all, one is the oldest quarterback to ever start a Super Bowl while the other is 13 years (and 48 days) his junior. One is classic old school in both his deliberate playing style and his relations to the media, while the other is explosive on the field and deliberately new school in dealing with the press and the public. And one is white and one is black. It will be a theme — spoken, implied and in some cases, unspoken.

But what may not be highlighted, because after all drama is built on difference, are the similarities between the two. Here are a few:

year at Blinn College in Texas, before matriculating to Auburn University. This past summer, making good on a promise to his mother, Cam graduated from Auburn with a degree in sociology.

SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN

“Chicken Parm … you taste so good.” That, sung by Peyton for Nationwide Insurance, has been a staple this football season. Manning does endorsements for Papa Johns, DirectTV and Gatorade. Forbes.com estimated that he is the top NFL endorser, pulling in just over $12 million this year.

The smiling face of Cam Newton is now seen in commercials for Dannon Oikos Triple Zero yogurt, and he has endorsement deals with Under Armour, Gatorade and others. While not on the Forbes.com list last year, it is estimated that off field earnings this year approached $11 million. If the Panthers win the Super Bowl, look for records to be broken

Both Cam Newton and Peyton Manning are sons of the South. And both were raised in urban areas. Cam grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, attending Westlake High School; Peyton was raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he was an Isidore Newman Greenie.

FOOTBALL FAMILIES Both Cam and Peyton are the middle sons of three boys. Everyone knows Peyton’s father, Archie, a former New Orleans Saints quarterback, and his brother, Eli, a two-time Super Bowl winning QB himself.

But Cam’s father and brother both danced to the NFL dream as well. Cecil Sr. was a defensive back at Savannah State who made appearances in training camps with Dallas and Buffalo in the mid 1980s.

Cam’s older brother, Cecil Jr., was a center who was in training camps or on practice squads for four seasons, but never saw action in an NFL game.

SEC COLLEGE GRADS While Peyton graduated from the University of Tennessee following his junior year with a BA in speech communications, Cam’s path to a degree was more circuitous.

After originally enrolling at Florida, Cam spent a

PROUD PAPAS After the AFC Championship game Manning appeared at the press podium with his son, Marshall, one of his 4-year old twins. His daughter is named Mosley.

Newton welcomed his first child this past Christmas Eve when his longtime girlfriend, Kia Proctor, gave birth to a son whom they christened Chosen Sebastian Newton.

PITCH MEN

RICH MEN As if the off-field income were not enough, both the young Newton and the aged Manning are rich beyond wildest expectations.

Last June, Newton and the Carolina Panthers agreed to a five-year, $103,800,000 contract, which included a $22,500,000 signing bonus, $60,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $20,760,000.

For his part, Manning rewrote his contract this past May as well, actually giving back $4 million to the Broncos and decreasing his salary for this year to $15 million. However, he also collected a bonus of $2

million for his win in the AFC Championship game and, if the Broncos win the Super Bowl, he gets an additional $2 million bonus. And that is on top of the approximately $100,000 bonus each player on the winning team will receive for winning the games.

According to Spotrac.com, Manning has signed NFL contracts totaling $246,742,000 in his 18-year NFL career.

FEARED RUNNERS OK, this one is a stretch. This year, Cam Newton rushed for 636 yards and scored 10 TDs on the ground. Manning, in 266 career regular season games, has rushed for 677 yards, just 41 more than Newton ran for in 16 games this season. In four years with Denver, Manning has just one rushing TD. But, in the AFC Championship Game, Manning galloped 12 yards for a first down, his longest run as a Bronco.

Maybe these guys are a little more alike than we think.

Perhaps more important, in the long run, than either the game or the halftime entertainment are the commercials that air on Super Bowl Sunday.

This is being written on an Apple MacBook Pro laptop. The first Apple I purchased was in the spring of 1984, an Apple Macintosh with 128k of memory. It cost nearly $2,500 but I had to have it. To this day I have lived my work life on Apple products.

In the third quarter of Super Bowl XVIII on CBS (poetically, the revolutionaries from the Oakland Raiders held a big lead over the establishment and favored Washington Redskins at that exact moment), Apple ran a commercial titled “1984” to introduce the Macintosh.

Directed by Ridley Scott and created by ad agency Chiat/Day, the ad featured not the computer itself, but rather a dystopian world of bald automatons who sat listening to “Big Brother” on a big screen. From the back of the room came a woman in a track outfit carrying a sledge-hammer, the only color image in the piece. She threw the hammer at the screen and changed the world.

The commercial cost $500,000 to produce and around $400,000 was paid for the commercial time, which was seen live by a audience of 43 million Americans. In the ensuing 100 days, Apple sold over $150 million of computers. Today it is the largest corporation in the world and last month it reported fourth quarter 2015 profits of $18 billion.

Such is the power of the Super Bowl commercial.

Last year’s Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks on NBC had an average viewing audience of 114 million people, making it the most watched program in U.S. television history. There were 58 commercials and the base price for a 30 second ad was $4.5 million.

For Sunday’s 50th Super Bowl broadcast, CBS has set a $5 million dollar price tag for spots and it is possible that the final “avails,” as they say in the ad sales game, could go for close to $6 million.

So who will be buying?

One advertiser will be SoFi, or Social Finance, which is spending 20 percent of its total ad budget on a Super Bowl spot in hopes of creating a buzz for the lending company that recently raised a billion in investment capital. Another first-timer, surprisingly, is Amazon which will debut a spot with former NFL quarterback Dan Marino and Actor Alec Baldwin.

Put down your chips at the first commercial break and watch the ad from Avocados from Mexico and don’t miss Audi’s 60-second spot that they shelled out $10 million for. Will it be better than the Acura ad for their new NSX auto that retails for $156,000?

And there will be beer. Budweiser bought three minutes, at least, and Rogan, Rousey and Schumer will lead the charge for the Bud Light brand.

Look for an ad for Shocktop as well.

Finally, and to my mind poetically, Ridley Scott is back as a producer. This time alongside his son Jake. They collaborated on a spot for LG TV starring Liam Neeson called “Man From The Future.” Fitting.

If the Denver Broncos win the Lombardi Trophy on Sunday Night don’t be surprised to hear the Broncos General Manager and former Super Bowl winning quarterback John Elway yell those words.

It will be an homage to the Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, who has been ravaged by the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.

Bowlen, one of the most important figures in the history of the NFL, a skier, Ironman triathlete, businessman and family man, bought the Broncos in 1984 for $78 million. After the team’s first Super Bowl victory in January of 1998 over the Green Bay Packers, he magnanimously raised the Lombardi Trophy and said. “There are just four words: This one’s for John.”

It would be poetic closure to win this one for Pat Bowlen.

ENJOY.

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

by MAY SELBY

ASPEN GAY SKI WEEK

MAY SELBY

ASPEN GAY SKI WEEK celebrated its 39th edition from Jan. 16-24, across all four Aspen/Snowmass ski areas and throughout town with nearly 4,000 guests in attendance.

Introducing Logo TV as the presenting sponsor this year added a major impact with more exposure than ever leading up to the festivities, as well as afterward with programs aired on the LBGT channel.

The robust events schedule featured dozens of parties, dinners, art exhibits, comedy shows, film screenings, après-ski gatherings and more. Keeping with tradition, the popular

Downhill Costume Contest & Ski Race returned, commanding a crowd as always, this time with the theme “It’s Hotter in Aspen.”

Logo TV’s host and judges, joined by a panel of local judges, deemed The Aspen Club the winners with their performance as firefighters skiing down Little Nell run in flawless form, holding a fire hose, and blaring Nelly’s “Hot in Herre” over the speakers.

The week closed out with the NewNowNext Honors with comedian Margaret Cho, singer Meghan Trainor and other entertainers at Aspen Meadows,

Wolfgang Pfeiffer, Vince Collins, Aspen Gay Ski Week chair Kevin McManamon and Jon Busch.

which aired on Logo TV on Feb. 1.

Aspen Gay Ski Week is the oldest annual, week-long gay ski event in the nation. It’s also the annual fundraising event for AspenOUT, a local non-profit focused on anti-bullying and tolerance.

(2) District Court in and for Garfield County.

Legal description: NW ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 11, Township 8 South, Range 87 West of th 6th P.M., 2,307 feet from the south section line and 2,309 feet from the east section line (Eagle County). Historic use: Irrigatoin 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 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 the Court. Statement of plan for augmentation: Background: The Aspen Institute was established in 1949 on land historically irrigated by the Si Johnson Ditch. The Aspen Institute built the Walter Paepke Memorial Building in 1963. In 2010, The Aspen Institute renovated the building with state of the art technology, including a new thermal exchange cooling system. The cooling system involved the construction and operation of the Paepke Pond to capture and transfer the cold temperature Si Johnson Ditch water to a closed loop thermal exchange system for the cooling of the building. Evaporation: Evaporation from the Paepke Pond water surface is expected in all months when the pond is not covered in ice. Maximum evaporation from the pond surface is calculated to be 0.45 acre-feet a year. Downstream calls: The Colorado River typically calls every year near the Grand Junction area by a collection of irrigation, municipal and power generation water rights commonly referred to as the “Cameo Call.” Applicant will secure a BWCD Allotment Contract for 0.43 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, the evaporation losses from the Paepke Pond will be augmentated by exchange by releases from the various BWCD water rights described in above. A dry-year example showing the stream administration and projected augmentation plan is on file with the Court. Local calls on Castle Creek. In 1976, the CWCB applied for, and the Division 5 Water Court decreed, a year round minimum instream flow right in Castle Creek for 12 c.f.s. from its headwaters to its confluence with the Roaring Fork River. Additionally, the City of Aspen has agreed to maintain the 12 c.f.s. miniumum instream flow right in Castle Creek through an inter-governmental agreement. The applied for junior uses in the Si Johnson Ditch, Third Enlargement and Paepke Pond will be subject to maintaining the 12 c.f.s. minimum instream flow. During an administered local call, the Applicant will not divert the junior use, all Si Johnson Ditch, Third Enlargement water will be routed around the Paepke Pond, and the Applicant will fill the Paepke Pond with water purchased from the City of Aspen and delivered to the Paepke Pond through the installed domestic water tap. Local calls on the Roaring Fork River: The CWCB also has several minimum instream flows decreed throughout the upper portion of the Roaring Fork River, including a minimum instream flow of 32 c.f.s. in the reach between Difficult Creek to Maroon Creek. The CWCB has placed a call for this instream flow reach in 2008, 2010, and 2012 from July through the end of December to maintain a flow of 32 c.f.s. Since Castle Creek joins the Roaring Fork River within this reach, the historical minimum instream call when placed will be senior to the junior appropriations for the Si Johnson Ditch, Third Enlargement and the Paepke Pond. Augmentation or curtailment will be required to meet this expected calling right. During an administered local call on the Roaring Fork River above the confluence of the Fryingpan and Roaring Fork Rivers, the Applicant will not divert the junior Si Johnson Ditch, Third Enlargement, and will fill the Paepke Pond with water purchased from the City of Aspen and delivered to the Paepke Pond throught the installed domestic water tap. During an administered local call on the Roaring Fork River below the confluence of the Fryingpan and Roaring Fork Rivers, the evaporation losses from the Paepke Pond will be augmentated by exchange and releases from the various BWCD water rights described above. A dry-year example showing the stream administration and projected augmentation plan is on file with the Court. FOURTH CLAIM FOR CONDITIONAL APPROPRIATIVE RIGHT OF EXCHANGE.

Remarks Regarding Claims for Riverside Ditch Aspen Enlargement and Snyder Pond: Aspen’s interest in the Riverside Ditch is diverted at the Riverside Ditch headgate on the Roaring Fork River, described in paragraph 4, and is transported in the ditch to Aspen’s location of use at Snyder Park. The Snyder Pond is an irrigation control structure used for Aspen’s interest in the Riverside Ditch.

Nothing in this application is intended to affect the water right decreed to the Riverside Ditch as described in paragraph 4, or Aspen’s interest in or use of that water right. Aspen leases a portion of the Aspen Ditch and Water Right, decreed for 3.0 cfs in CA 4613 on June 20, 1958, for domestic, irrigation and piscatorial purposes, with an appropriation date of January 2, 1886. An alternate point of diversion was decreed for the Aspen Ditch and Water Right at the headgate of the Riverside Ditch in Case No. 81CW85, on August 5, 1982. The Aspen Ditch and Water Right is diverted at the Riverside Ditch headgate, is transported through the Riverside Ditch to a vault at the end of ditch, and from there it is carried to the Prockter Open Space, as well as to other users of the Aspen Ditch and Water Right. Nothing in this application is intended to affect the water right decreed to the Aspen Ditch and Water Right, or use of that water right. The Prockter Open Space is currently irrigated and wetlands baseflows and freshening flows are maintained by the Aspen Ditch and Water Right, in which Aspen holds a leasehold interest. Aspen’s treated water distribution system may also provide an irrigation supply to the Prockter Open Space, Herron Park and Newbury Park. The Riverside Ditch Aspen Enlargement will be used as a supplemental supply for the Prockter Open Space, Herron Park and Newbury Park, and to fill and refill the Snyder Pond as herein provided. Snyder Pond is and will continue to be used as an irrigation control structure for Aspen’s interest in the Riverside Ditch, as well as for the other uses sought in this application. Application for Approval of Plan for Augmentation. 18. Structures to be augmented. A. The Aspen Queen Street Well: Described in paragraph 2 of the application. B. The Aspen Reuse Water Diversion: The Aspen Reuse Water Diversion was decreed in Case No. 2005CW300 on March 22, 2015. The decreed location of the Aspen Reuse Water Diversion is the Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District (“ACSD”) point of discharge on the left bank of the Roaring Fork River within the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 34, Township 9 South, Range 85 West of the 6th P. M., at a point approximately 205 feet west of the East section line and 2,040 feet north of the south section line, in Pitkin County, Colorado, as shown on Figure 5 to the application. The decreed appropriation date is April 11, 2005. The amount is 3.0 cfs conditional. The source of water is treated municipal effluent from the ACSD, which effluent originates from Castle Creek, Maroon Creek, and/or the Roaring Fork River, all tributary to the Colorado River.

Aspen shall comply with all procedures required by such statute before using such additional or alternative supplies in this plan for augmentation. 20. Statement of Plan for Augmentation. A. Call Originating Downstream of Confluence of the Roaring Fork River and the Fryingpan River. At times when a call originating downstream of the confluence of the Roaring Fork River and the Fryingpan River would otherwise cause any or all of the water rights described below to be out of priority, Aspen will curtail diversions as provided herein or cause release of water from Ruedi Reservoir pursuant to its Ruedi Contract to respond to such calls. 1. Aspen Queen Street Well.

Initial geological investigation of the monitor well indicates that the well is drilled into Leadville Limestone. The planned production well (Aspen Queen Street Well) applied for herein will also be drilled into Leadville Limestone using directional drilling. Depletions from this well affect the Roaring Fork River. In the event of a call originating downstream of the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan Rivers, Aspen will augment out of priority depletions caused by pumping this well by release of water stored in Ruedi Reservoir and available to Aspen pursuant to the Ruedi Contract. 2.Aspen Reuse Water Diversion. The Aspen Reuse Water Diversion, which diverts treated wastewater effluent for irrigation and snowmaking purposes. The treated effluent is discharged to the Roaring Fork River on an ongoing basis. Aspen may use said treated effluent as decreed in Case No. 2005CW300 when the Aspen Reuse Water Diversion Right is in priority, or when it is augmented pursuant to the plan for augmentation decreed in Case No. 2006CW54. Out of priority diversions under Aspen Reuse Water Diversion right are limited by the augmentation supplies available under the decree in Case No. 2006CW54. This plan provides additional augmentation supplies to allow greater utilization of the Aspen Reuse Water Diversion for its decreed purposes, notwithstanding a call originating downstream of the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan Rivers. The terms and conditions of the decree in Case No. 2006CW54 will apply to use of this additional augmentation supply. In the decree in Case No. 2006CW54 and in this case, Aspen reserves the right to seek water court approval for a new or amended plan for augmentation in order to demonstrate the timing, amount and location of irrigation and snowmaking return flows, and any resulting reduction in Aspen’s augmentation obligations with respect to the Aspen Reuse Water Diversion. 3. Aspen Reuse Pond. The Aspen Reuse Pond is a lined pond, and diversions to the pond are curtailed when the water right is out of priority. Pursuant to this plan for augmentation, diversions to the pond will not be curtailed when augmentation is provided to meet a call originating downstream of the confluence of the Roaring Fork River and the Fryingpan River, and during such a call, out of priority evaporation will be augmented by releases of water stored in Ruedi Reservoir and available to Aspen pursuant to its Ruedi Contract. 4.Electric-Art Pond and Ditch. The Electric-Art Pond is filled via the Electric-Art Ditch, and diversions to the pond are curtailed when the water right is out of priority. Pursuant to this plan for augmentation, diversions to the pond will not be curtailed when augmentation is provided to meet a call originating downstream of the confluence of the Roaring Fork River and the Fryingpan River, and during such a call, out of priority evaporation will be augmented by releases of water stored in Ruedi Reservoir and available to Aspen pursuant to its Ruedi Contract. 5.Riverside Ditch Aspen Enlargement: During a call originating downstream of the confluence of the Roaring Fork and the Fryingpan Rivers, Aspen will augment out of priority depletions caused by use of the Riverside Ditch Aspen Enlargement water right by releases of water stored in Ruedi Reservoir and available to Aspen pursuant to its Ruedi Contract. Diversions under the Riverside Ditch Aspen Enlargement will be curtailed to the extent augmentation supplies are not available. 6. Snyder Pond: The Snyder Pond is filled for the uses herein applied for via the Riverside Ditch Aspen Enlargement. During a call originating downstream of the confluence of the Roaring Fork and the Fryingpan Rivers, Aspen will augment out of priority pond evaporation by releases of water stored in Ruedi Reservoir and available to Aspen pursuant to its Ruedi Contract, or will curtail diversions under the Riverside Ditch Aspen Enlargement. Snyder Pond may continue to be used as an irrigation control structure for Aspen’s interest in the Riverside Ditch so long as that water right remains in priority. B. Call Originating Upstream of Confluence of Roaring Fork and Fryingpan Rivers. 1. In the event of a call originating upstream of the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan Rivers that would require curtailment of any or all of the structures other listed in paragraphs 20.A. 2 - 20.A.6, the affected water rights will be curtailed or augmented by additional augmentation sources or supplies added as provided in paragraph 19 of this application. The Electric Art Pond and Electric Art Ditch are not subject to call by the instream flow. The other water rights described in paragraph 20.A. are not subject to call by the Pitkin County RICD water right decreed in Case No. 10CW305, as they are encompassed within the subordination agreement set forth in that decree. 2.In the event of a call originating upstream of the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan Rivers, out of priority depletions from the Aspen Queen Street Well will be augmented by additional augmentation sources or supplies added as provided in paragraph 19 of the application. Application for Appropriative Rights of Substitution and Exchange. 21. Name and Description of Exchange: Aspen Ruedi Reservoir Exchange. A.

15CW3120 GARFIELD COUNTY; FOUR MILE CREEK. Sunlight View Water and Wastewater Company, c/o Dennis Levin, P.O. Box 19430, Glenwood Springs, CO 81602; c/o Jeffery J. Conklin, Esq., Karp Neu Hanlon, P.C., 201 14th Street, Suite 200, Glenwood Springs, CO 81601.

Application for Amendment to Plan for Augmentation. Summary: Applicant is in the process of connecting all housing units within its water service area – the Sunlight View and Sunlight View II subdivisions located in Sec. 3, Twp. 7 S, Rng. 89 W, 6th P.M. – to the City of Glenwood Springs’ wastewater treatment facility, thus eliminating accrual of return flows to Four Mile Creek. Applicant requests an amendment to the depletion schedule approved in Case No. 03CW161, Division No. 5, to account for such elimination of return flows. In addition, Applicant seeks amendment of depletion assumptions adopted in Case No. 94CW344, Division No. 5, and the projections based thereon adopted in Case No. 03CW161. Case No. 94CW344 approved an “area-wide” plan for augmentation for West Divide Water Conservancy District under which 90 EQRs were allocated to Zilm Wells Nos. 1, 2, and 3. Zilm Wells Nos. 1 and 3 supply water for Applicant’s water service area, and the requested amendment concerns these structures only. Structure Information. As approved in Case No. 03CW161, which case corrected the record location of Zilm Well No. 1, the well is located in the SE1/4 of the NW1/4 in Sec. 3, Twp. 7 S, Rng. 89 W, 6th P.M. 1015 feet south of the N section line and 2400 feet east of the W section line. Zilm Well No. 1 is approved for 0.17 c.f.s., absolute, and serves as an alternate point for 0.1694 c.f.s., absolute, of Atkinson Ditch Priority 33. Zilm Well No. 3 is located in the NE1/4 of the SW1/4 in Sec. 3, Twp. 7 S, Rng. 89 W, 6th P.M. 1850 feet north of the S section line and 2300 feet east of the W section line, and was approved for 100 g.p.m., absolute, in Case No. 04CW187, Division No. 5. Request for Amendment of Plan for Augmentation. As approved in Case No. 94CW344, one EQR equates, in part, to 350 gpd of in-house use/unit. As reflected in the engineering report accompanying the Application, in-house use meters within Applicant’s water service area reflect average in house use of 195 gpd/unit. Applicant seeks to amend in-house water use assumptions for Zilm Wells Nos. 1 and 3 to reflect 250 gpd of in-house use/unit, which incorporates a protective buffer over actual average use. Engineering findings also reflect that the irrigation/outdoor use volume assumptions adopted for Zilm Wells Nos. 1 and 3 in Case No. 03CW161 are nearly double actual irrigation/outdoor use within Applicant’s water service area.

All land potentially irrigable under the plan for augmentation is actively irrigated. Applicant, therefore, also seeks to amend irrigation/outdoor water use assumptions to reflect actual use plus an additional protective buffer. Total out of priority depletions by Zilm Wells Nos. 1 and 3 at full build out within Applicant’s water service area were quantified in Case No. 03CW161 at 18.6 acre-feet. Under new depletion quantifications contained in the Application’s engineering report, which addresses 100% consumption of in-house use water and 80% consumption of irrigation/outdoor use water under the above-described use factors, total out of priority depletions are 16.58 acre-feet. Applicant maintains Contract #FM940919Z(b) with West Divide Water Conservancy District for annual supply of 23 acre-feet of augmentation water. Owner of land on which augmented structures are located: Applicant. (21 pp., inclusive of exhibits).

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT YOU HAVE until the last day of MARCH 2016 to file with the Water Clerk a verified Statement of Opposition setting forth facts as to why this application should not be granted or why it should be granted in part or on certain conditions. A copy of such statement of opposition must also be served upon the applicant or the applicant’s attorney and an affidavit or certificate of such service shall be filed with the Water Clerk, as prescribed by Rule 5, CRCP.
