THEATER THUNDER RIVER Theatre
Co. is in expansion mode. After the recent launch of its Consensual Improv and its Diva Cabaret series — both with sell-outs in their early runs — the award-winning Carbondale company is opening its new Theater for Young Audiences series this weekend with a production of “Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse.” Aimed at kids ages 5 to 10 and their parents and grandparents, the show opens on Saturday, April 29, and runs through May 14. “This is a fun, silly play with terrific messages for girls and boys,” says Thunder River executive director Corey Simpson. “Lilly is a strong female lead who is self-confident, creative, stands by her friends, and likes her uniqueness, but is also learning the importance of sharing and how to adjust to the arrival a new baby brother.” Based on the popular children’s book series by Kevin Henkes and adapted for the stage by Kevin King, the local production is directed by Wendy Moore, who says “these characters are innocent, sweet and adorable, and they encounter the lessons of friendship, jealousy, loyalty and family.” Simpson, who took over Thunder River last year, says the kids series is part of an effort to appeal to new audiences that the company may not have reached before. “Theatre for Young Audiences is the ideal way for families to discover our theatre and a great opportunity to introduce children to the magic of live theatre,” he says. Tickets are $15 to $25, available at 970-963-8200 and www.thunderrivertheatre.com.
“Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse” opens April 29 at Thunder River Theatre Co.

CLEAN SWEEP
1950 ASPEN
“CLEAN-UP DAY IS SLATED,” announced The Aspen Times on May 14, 1959. “Spring time in the Rockies should also be clean-up time in the Rockies it was decided this week by members of Aspen’s fraternal organizations, who have scheduled a community clean-up campaign for next Tuesday, May 19. In addition, Fire Chief Clyde Clymer announced that fire departments throughout the Western Slope are sponsoring a Clean Up week to help alleviate the fire hazards caused by accumulated trash and debris. To be sponsored jointly by the local Elks, Lions, Eagles and American Legion clubs, the community project will sweep through the town from 5 to 7 PM. Giving impetus to the effort will be teams from each of the four organizations, who will walk behind the trucks along the streets and parks picking up trash. They will be joined by school children and volunteers, but all residents and businessmen will be asked to cooperate by picking up their own properties and the streets and alleys adjoining them. The teams and volunteers with trucks, trailers and other equipment will stop to collect trash from anyone who has gathered any. Those participating in the undertaking will be served coffee and rolls by members of the sponsoring organizations in the basement of the Community Church after the campaign is over at 7 PM. In announcing the cooperative project officials of the four clubs urged each resident to ‘accept his responsibility to our community and to our visitors and help beautify our city.’” The photograph above shows a trash can outside of the Hotel Jerome in the 1950s.

GEAR of the WEEK
RIDE IT: ‘CHAINLESS’ BIKE DESIGN THE BASIC DESIGN of a bicycle hasn’t changed much during the past few decades. But this year a new option may enter the market. Called the Chainless bike, the design has pedals on the rear wheel and a frame that lets you steer with your butt. It breaks a lot of bicycle conventions. Foremost, as the name alludes there is no chain on this bike. Instead, the cranks connect to a series of tungsten gears that power the rear wheel like a differential. Ditching the traditional design affects the bike’s form. It’s a small bike and it rides differently. With the entire bottom bracket assembly gone, the wheelbase shrinks to just 31.5 inches. The reason for the design change? The inventor claims chains are a source of problems for many bikers. Chains stretch, wear out, sometimes slip, make noise, rust, and gobble up shoelaces and pant legs. The tungsten gears on the Chainless are less exposed, rust-resistant, and harder than titanium, so they should outlast chains and cassettes. Further, there is no bottom bracket, down tube, rear triangle, chainrings, or cogs. The seat sits atop the rear wheel.

What’s more, the rear wheel can swivel. This allows a rider to steer the back wheel with their butt on the saddle and execute turns that are impossible on a traditional bike. Will this kind of bike take off? For now, the concept is primed

ASPEN UNTUCKED
by BARABARA PLATTS
The author shares the new highs and lows of international travel.
NO LARGE ELECTRONIC DEVICES ALLOWED THE RECENT LAPTOP BAN HEIGHTENS WAIT TIMES AND ANXIETY
ON MARCH 21, the United State government notified airlines flying from 10 airports in predominantly Muslim countries that they had three days to install a new regulation. They had to prevent passengers from putting laptops, tablets and cameras in their carry-ons for any flights going to the U.S. This was said to be instated for national security BARBARA PLATTS reasons. The airlines complied with the new rule, which was quickly labeled the “laptop ban.” I had to admit, at the time, the lightness of my bag, sans laptop, was heavenly. Sure, I was nearly hysterical with anxiety at the idea of my MacBook Pro being stolen, cracked or otherwise bastardized whilst out of my care. But my shoulders were grateful for the break, as my cousin and I breezed through security at Marrakesh Menara Airport. We were headed for Casablanca, where we would take a direct to JFK International Airport. That flight is what made us victims of our country’s brand, spanking new laptop ban. At first, the ban didn’t seem heavily enforced. We checked in with Royal Air Maroc in Marrakesh. The desk attendant pointed at a busy sheet of paper with a barely coherent illustration of a laptop and tablet device on it. Her English wasn’t great, and our Arabic was even worse, but she said “laptop” and
pointed at the piece of paper, then to our checked luggage. Thankfully, we already knew about the ban and had packed accordingly; otherwise I’m not sure this interaction would have meant anything to us. We nodded vigorously in response to her direction, showing that we had followed the rules. With that, we went through security and walked to the gate, assuming the worst was over. But Marrakesh Menara Airport was not on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s list of airports that had to instate the ban; Casablanca was. We thought we had a long time before boarding once we reached Casablanca, but when we got to our gate there was already a long line. We entered and were immediately greeted by several agents, checking the flight lists to make sure our names were there. They separated my cousin and I, placing her in one line and me in another. I glanced around, taking in the mess of the scene before me. The numerous lines we were separated into all led to the same place: a long, ominous metal table with security officers behind it, busily searching each and every passenger’s bag. The security guards and airline attendants had created a junkyard of belongings on the floor in front of these tables. Items not sufficient for carry-on had to placed into small, flimsy bags to be checked to New York. Passengers angrily parted with expensive SLRs, fancy iPads and even old school Polaroid cameras. Several passengers around me
seemed to have no idea that there was a laptop ban in place. There were five attendants floating through the search area just to help explain to perturbed customers why it was that they had to surrender one of their most expensive items to the cabin underneath them for a long flight. Hysterics became commonplace as more and more devices were found. It was as if no one understood the helpful illustrations provided at the check-in desks, pre-security. An anxious feeling consumed me as I waited in line to be searched. I had understood that this ban was made, at least in part, for our security, and I had followed all of the rules. It’s not like I had anything to hide, but being treated like I might made me think I was surely guilty of something. I started wondering if my sunblock or earrings could be considered a threat. My nail file certainly could damage someone’s skin if given a little time. Hell, I had a few books that weren’t particularly noble texts. Maybe I would be judged, profiled even. Would they want to scan my social media accounts? Perhaps know whom I voted for? Anything seemed possible within these new regulations. After 45 minutes of outlandish anxieties rushing through my head, I reached the front of the line. I was met by a large Moroccan officer with enough badges on his shirt to join an Boy Scouts troop. He looked at me, amused, like he couldn’t believe this is what his job had come to in recent weeks. He searched both
my carry-on bags, flipping through pages in my books and inspecting small compartments inside my purse. Luckily, I passed his test with flying colors. The only thing he was not thrilled about was my water bottle. He confiscated it and sent me on, obviously not caring in the least about what my Twitter account had to say or how coarse my nail file was. The final step was the frisking. I entered a small, pop-up room where a female security guard patted me down thoroughly, most likely to make sure I wasn’t hiding an iPad underneath my bra or a Macbook in my pants. I suppose anything was possible. When she was satisfied, I was released to the gate. There was nothing left between me and my country, except for a technology-free, cross-Atlantic, seven-hour trip. The story ends happily, with my laptop, and my cousin, eventually being returned to me unscathed. We had survived the infamous laptop ban and will await the next travel obstacle sure to come. For those who may have travel plans in the Middle East with a direct flight back to America, I urge you to check to see if the laptop ban will affect you. If it does, prepare for long lines, disgruntled fellow passengers and a profoundly personal frisking. Safe travels! Barbara Platts had a wonderful time in Morocco and will share more about her adventures in next week’s column. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

WINEINK
THE MADRONES PERHAPS THE BEST part of wine travel is discovery. It could be a grape you have never tasted. Perhaps a vineyard that you see for the first time. Or, it could be an oasis in a region just a bit farther afield. A recent wineinfused sojourn took me to the “next county,” Mendocino, the one that is both geographically and spiritually above KELLY J. and beyond Napa HAYES and Sonoma. While the region is fast becoming a “go-to” for wine lovers, it is still, happily, a bit funkier than its southern cousins. It is also home to one of those wine travel discoveries — an oasis of a place called The Madrones. THE MADRONES
Just off Highway 128 in the Anderson Valley, cheek to jowl with Duckhorn’s Goldeneye Winery, lies a Spanish/Tuscan/ Santa Fe/California-inspired compound called The Madrones. And yes, when you pass through the walls into the courtyard, it is easy to begin humming the song “Hotel California.” The Madrones consists of nine stylish Guest Quarters, three excellent wine-tasting rooms pouring Anderson Valley wines, an incredible restaurant and a curio/ antique shop that would be a find in, say, New York’s East Village. The product of interior designer/ builder/visionary Jim Roberts, the complex began life as a rural homestead and television repair shop. Sensing a hidden gem, Roberts rebuilt the compound as a base of operations to house his thriving design firm and a creative incubator for local business in the mid-2000s. He also built a home that lies cocooned inside the lush, exquisite English gardens that surround the property. Today, that home has been repurposed as a tasteful and luxurious guest quarters for travelers seeking a unique abode to host their Anderson Valley stay.

Apr il 27 - Ma y 3, 2017
The Guest Quarters are named for the original rooms of the main house, such as “The Master” or “The Kitchen,” each of which showcases the building’s classic bones and details like vaulted ceilings and window seats. Luxurious linens and contemporary elements give it a sophisticated and comfortable vibe. Views of the gardens and a small pond imbue the feeling of staying at a California wine country manor. THE TASTING ROOMS
Where offices once occupied the front of the compound, there are now tasting rooms for three small-lot family wineries. The newest addition, Smith-Story Wine Cellars, consists of host husband and wife, Eric Story and Allison Smith, and their Golden Doodle, Mr. Sandwich. Eric and Allison were buyers and promoters of other people’s wines before they decided to make the move to produce their own. They pour recent releases of their Mendocino and Sonoma County wines alongside a project they produce in the Rheingau region of Germany. They may be the only familyowned winery in the U.S. with a German 2015 Rosé of Pinot Noir. Across the courtyard is Bink Cellars. It is the creation of Deborah Schatzlein and Cindy Paulson, who have a passion for producing small lots of Mendocino County wines with concentration, intensity and flavor. While pinot noir dominates in the area, I particularly liked their merlot and syrah, both of which hail from their estate vineyard, Hawks Butt Vineyard, in the Yorkville Highlands AVA. Drew Family Cellars rounds out the tasting rooms with a roster of serious — and seriously good — wines, many of which hail from the cool climate of their estate vineyard, a former apple orchard high up the Elk-Philo Road just three miles from the Pacific Ocean. Again family owned, by Jason and Molly Drew, these wines show a delicate and deft hand. The small lot, single-vineyard wines are a tribute to the fruit of the Anderson Valley.
The Guest Quarters at The Madrones feature city sophistication in a country setting
STONE & EMBERS
The heart of The Madrones complex may well be the woodburning pizza oven in the small gem of a restaurant that is literally a combination of, well, stone hearth and fire. A simple kitchen fronts the tiny room that feels more like a community hideaway than a fine restaurant, and puts out an amazing array of pizzas, salads and other inspired dishes, all made with impeccably fresh local ingredients grown in chef Partrick Meany’s farm down the road. Meany came to the valley following time spent in the kitchens of San Francisco’s Gary
Danko, and Bouchon in the Napa Valley, to pursue a passion for creative local cuisine. With partner and farmer Matt Barnes, they have created simplicity in each dish with a menos is mas ethic. The fresh Little Gem lettuce salads, the impossibly thin, crisp mushroom chicharonnes and the potato beignets all burst with flavor and yet are light and delicate. Comfortable and classic. Just like The Madrones. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.
UNDER THE UNFLUENCE SMITH STORY WINE CELLARS 2015 ROSÉ OF PINOT NOIR I hate to recommend a wine grown 5,500 miles away from the Anderson Valley, but as the first wine we tried when we arrived at The Madrones, this had the taste of spring on a rainy afternoon. Dry and light in style, the idea of a German pinot noir in a place surrounded by pinot vines seemed … well … a bit quirky. It is the product of a project that Eric Story is involved in with his mentor, a German winemaker.

MEATLESS MONDAYS?
MUSHROOM & CHEESE BURRITOS ARE A PERFECT FIT
MAKE IT MUSHROOM AND CHEESE BURRITOS Start to finish: 1 hour 20 minutes Servings: 6
Warm portobello, chile and cheese burritos.
MUSHROOM AND CHEESE Burritos are a delicious vegetarian dish hearty enough to satisfy even the most diehard carnivore in your family: a burrito stuffed with portobello mushrooms, chiles and cheese. It’s perfect for Meatless Mondays and — bonus! — all the ingredients are cooked together in a single rimmed sheet pan, which means cleanup is a snap. Those steaklike portobellos are the ingredient around which this recipe is built. Prepping them is a two-step process. First, clean the caps by wiping them with a wet paper towel. Second, use a spoon (a grapefruit spoon is best, if you have one) to scrape out the gills on the underside of the caps. (You want to lose the gills because they become soggy when cooked and stain everything black.) Watery as they are, mushrooms nonetheless soak up additional liquid like a sponge. In this case, the flavorings are lime juice, minced garlic and cumin, all of which are absorbed by the

portobellos while the rest of the vegetables are being broiled. First in the sheet pan is the poblano. You want to brown it lightly on all sides, which makes it easy to peel off its tough skin. (If you can’t find a poblano, you can replace it with a ½ small can of green chiles.) Then the onion, garlic and cherry tomatoes are broiled until slightly charred and tender. I chose cherry tomatoes because they may be small, but they boast the most tomato-y flavor when the big guys aren’t yet in season. All of these supporting vegetables are quickly chopped in a food processor while the mushrooms take their turn in the oven. The last step is to stir together all the veggies and wrap them in the tortillas. You’re welcome to make the vegetable mixture a day or two ahead of time and keep it covered and chilled until you’re ready to wrap it in the tortillas. I like to add sharp cheddar cheese to this recipe, but if your crowd is vegan, leave it out.
Apr il 27 - Ma y 3, 2017
1½ pounds Portobello mushrooms (about 6 medium to large) 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for garnish 2 teaspoons ground cumin 3 garlic cloves, 2 left unpeeled and 1 minced Kosher salt ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil plus extra for oiling the poblano 1 large poblano (3½-4 ounces) or half a 4½-ounce can green chiles ¾ pound large cherry tomatoes 1 medium onion, sliced ½-inch thick, and the slices separated 6 ounces coarsely grated sharp cheddar cheese Six 8-inch flour tortillas 1 firm ripe avocado, cut into cubes ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves ½ cup sour cream whisked together with 3 tablespoons water Hot sauce Place an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the broiler. Clean the mushrooms; remove and discard the stems (or save them for another use such as vegetable stock); scrape out the gills with a spoon and discard them. Slice the caps in half and then slice them crosswise into ½-inch strips. In a large shallow bowl whisk together the lime juice, cumin, minced garlic and ¼ teaspoon salt until the salt is dissolved; whisk in ¼ cup of the vegetable oil. Add the mushrooms and stir well, making sure the marinade is well distributed. Set the mushrooms aside, stirring occasionally. On a rimmed sheet lined with foil place the poblano, rubbed with oil, and broil it on the shelf in the top third of the oven, turning it often, until it is lightly browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer it to
a bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside while you broil the other vegetables. On the sheet pan toss the tomatoes, onion slices and 2 unpeeled garlic cloves with the remaining tablespoon oil and a hefty pinch of salt. Spread the vegetables out in one layer. Set the pan on the shelf in the top third of the oven and broil the vegetables, turning them often, until the garlic is tender and the vegetables are browned around the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the tomatoes and onion to a food processor. Peel the garlic and add it to the processor. Add the mushrooms to the sheet pan and spread them out in one layer. Broil them, turning several times, until they are golden and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. While the mushrooms are cooking, peel and seed the poblano and coarsely chop it. Add it to the processor and pulse the vegetables in the processor until they are medium-chopped. When the mushrooms are cooked add the chopped vegetables to the mushrooms and stir well (Note: if you are using the canned chiles in place of the poblano, add them at this point. Add salt to taste. Reduce the oven to 350 F. Arrange the tortillas on a cutting board, and working with one at a time sprinkle one-sixth of the cheese in a line from one edge of the tortilla to the other just below the center of the tortilla, spoon one-sixth of the filling on top of the cheese, spreading it evenly and roll up the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese and filling. Arrange the filled tortillas, seam side down on the rimmed sheet pan, lined with a fresh piece of foil and bake them on the middle shelf of the oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until heated through. Cut the tortillas in half crosswise and transfer 2 halves to each of 6 plates. Serve with the avocado, cilantro, sour cream, lime wedges, and hot sauce for garnish.

VOYAGES
DESTINATION | MISSISSIPPI
by BETH J. HARPAZ for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FOR BLUES FANS, MISSISSIPPI DELTA HAS MANY STORIES TO TELL THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA has no shortage of museums, historic attractions and clubs devoted to the blues. But visitors will find the region has many other stories to tell, from the cotton plantations where AfricanAmerican families worked and lived in desperate poverty to culinary traditions that reflect a surprising ethnic diversity. THE BLUES TRAIL AND MUSEUMS
You can’t miss the big blue guitars marking the famous crossroads of Highways 61 and 49 in Clarksdale. This is where, according to legend, Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil to learn how to play the blues. Roadside signs for the Mississippi Blues Trail make it easy to find other sites as well, from Clarksdale’s Riverside Hotel, where Bessie Smith died, to the Dockery Farms cotton plantation in Cleveland, where many pioneering bluesmen lived, worked and made music, among them Charley Patton, Roebuck “Pops” Staples and Howlin’ Wolf. A sign in a field at Clarksdale’s Stovall Plantation notes that Muddy Waters’ songs were recorded here in 1941 by musicologist Alan Lomax as he collected folk music for the Library of Congress. The sharecropper’s shack that Waters lived in has been restored and relocated to the nearby Delta Blues
Museum. In Indianola, the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center pays tribute to King’s life and legacy. He’s buried there, as well. These museums and others use photos, artifacts, videos and other exhibits to explore the blues’ roots, beginning with African musical traditions brought to the South by slaves. Because Delta cotton plantations were relatively isolated, musical styles developed here uninfluenced by trends elsewhere. But eventually many AfricanAmericans who barely eked out a living working for white landowners in the decades after the Civil War migrated away from the South, seeking economic opportunity elsewhere along with an escape from segregation and racial terror. Muddy Waters left the Delta for Chicago in 1943. B.B. King left Mississippi for Memphis, where he got his big break at radio station WDIA. These and other bluesmen were worshipped by 1960s music giants like Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones. “Muddy Waters’ music changed my life,” Eric Clapton said. As the title of one of Waters’ songs puts it, “The Blues Had A Baby And They Named It Rock And Roll.” CAT HEAD, CLUBS AND FESTIVALS
Stop in Cat Head, a Mississippi blues music and gift store in Clarksdale, for a chat with owner Roger Stolle, a blues
fan who moved there to “help pull the blues scene together in a way that would get people to come.” Local clubs stagger their schedules so you can hear live music every night. Stolle keeps a list online of who’s playing where. Clarksdale’s best-known club is Ground Zero, co-owned by actor Morgan Freeman and Clarksdale Mayor Bill Luckett, but blues fans may be disappointed by party-vibe bands playing songs here like “Sweet Home Alabama.” A more interesting venue is Red’s. Don’t be fooled by its rundown appearance and tiny, informal living room-style interior. Red’s showcases under-the-radar, brilliantly talented musicians like Lucious Spiller whose performances will make you realize why the blues still matter. Delta festivals include the Sunflower River Blues & Gospel Festival, Aug. 11-13, and the Oct. 12-15 Deep Blues Fest. Next year’s Juke Joint Festival will be April 12-15, 2018. FOOD, LODGING AND CURTAINED BOOTHS
Mississippi cuisine isn’t just catfish and barbecue. Doe’s, in Greenville, where a security guard watches over your car as you dine and walks you to the parking area when you leave, is known for steaks the size of your head and has been recognized by the
James Beard Foundation. Chamoun’s Rest Haven in Clarksdale, founded by a Lebanese family in the 1940s, serves some of the best kibbe you’ll find outside the Middle East. At Larry’s Hot Tamales, ask owner Larry Lee to share stories of how Mexican tamales became a scrumptious Mississippi staple. For upscale bistro fare like ceviche and roasted vegetables, try Yazoo Pass in Clarksdale. To learn more about culinary traditions in Mississippi and elsewhere in the South, visit the Southern Foodways Alliance website. Delta accommodations range from motels to the Alluvian, a luxury boutique hotel in Greenwood. The city, once a major shipping point for Delta cotton, is also where the movie “The Help” was filmed. Today, Greenwood is headquarters for Viking Range, the kitchen appliance manufacturer, and a Viking cooking school (classes fill up fast so book ahead). Other Greenwood spots include the excellent Turnrow bookstore and the tasting room for the Winery at Williams Landing, which specializes in wines made from Mississippi-grown muscadine grapes. Pick up a bottle for dinner at Lusco’s, a BYOB restaurant famous for whole grilled pompano fish and for curtained booths that offered cotton traders privacy for business deals, romantic liaisons and alcohol consumption. A unique lodging option in the Delta is spending the night in a preserved sharecropper’s shack at the Shack Up Inn in Clarksdale or at Tallahatchie Flats in Greenwood. Some travelers may find the concept offensive as a sugarcoating of the misery experienced by those who had no choice but to live this way. But for others, a night spent in a rustic cabin that rattles with the howling wind or shakes to its foundations in a thunderstorm may evoke the very vulnerability that makes the blues so haunting.
LEFT: A preserved sharecropper’s cabin at Tallahatchie Flats in Greenwood, Miss. The simple rustic cabins are rented out to visitors by the night. Sharecroppers and tenant farmers, most of them African-Americans living in desperate poverty, worked the region’s cotton plantations in the decades before the industry was mechanized.

STARR’S GUITARS, HEAD AND HEART DAVID STARR, the musical mayor of Cedaredge, first met John Oates many moons ago in Aspen at the Great Divide music store. Decades later, they finally sat down together in a Nashville studio to record Starr’s new album, “The Head and the Heart,” which the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Woody Creeker produced and arranged. The six-song EP, due out April 28, showcases Starr’s gift for wise and personal folk songs that are powered by his unmistakable baritone. “His music is authentic, his songs are honest, full of emotion and truth,” Oates says. Starr plays regularly with local musicians like Bobby Mason, John Michel and Michael Jude. Michel and Jude, who tour and record with Oates’ solo band, brought Oates to play a show in Cedaredge a few years ago. Starr sat in with Oates, which led to more shows around the U.S. and some collaborative writing sessions and eventually to “The Head and the Heart,” which is Starr’s eighth record. Starr says Oates pushed him during the recording process and got the best out of him, while also suggesting Starr take on his unconventional cover of “California Dreamin’” — a highlight of the record. Starr was on tour on the West Coast at the time, parked in his mobile home, when Oates called him with the suggestion and offered up an evocative guitar line for it. “The way the guitar part is structured, it’s almost like a classical piece,” Starr told me recently from home in Cedaredge, where he was preparing for a California concert tour. “It’s pretty intricate.” An Arkansas native, Starr lived in Aspen in the early 1980s. He went back to Arkansas and founded his Starr’s Guitars shop there before moving it to Cedaredge in 2001. The remote Delta County town has been an ideal home for the songwriter since then. “I love the west,” he says. “There’s the expansiveness of it and there’s this attitude where everybody leaves everybody else alone. I like that part.”
COURTESY PHOTOS
A creative community has sprouted up around Starr’s Guitars in Cedaredge. Over the past 17 years, it’s become a mecca for Western Slope musicians, a hub for songwriters and a point of civic pride (in November, the town council declared Nov. 8 David Starr Day). “If a guy like me can be around guitars all day, that’s a good day,” he says. “Even on a bad day, you’ve got the mountains and a bunch of guitars.” Finding the natural rhythms and phrasings on new songs like “Edge of the World” and “Waiting for the Dark” is a gradual process for Starr. “I’m always collecting words and phrases and ideas,” he says. “A lot of it these days is just speaking into my phone and collecting voice memos. And when I decide to write something I can pull those ideas together and get a good sketch on paper of what the lyric is going to be. Then I sit down with the guitar.” atravers@aspentimes.com

IN A 2004 EPISODE of The Simpsons, Marge has an old classmate over to dinner who has become a Diane Sawyer-type success. Afterward, while washing a serving bowl the friend had brought over, Lisa says, “Even her bowl smells glamorous.” Marge rips it away incredulously, smells it and sighs, “It’s like Christmas in Aspen.” Incidentally, when I think of the smell of an Aspen Christmas, I think of airplane de-icing fluid. Our luggage got inadvertently souced one memorable trip and to this day that chemical smell conjures up misty memories of Christmas lights and frigid groomers with Grandpa. And isn’t that the funny thing about scents: In the present tense they tend to be fleeting and vague, but in memory they are bizarrely specific and unforgettable. For some reason the smells of Aspen tend toward the latter. With outdoor life shifting from ski trails to hiking trails and a fresh crop of smells re-emerging, it seems a natural time to ask: Why does Aspen smell the way it does?

“There’s a mindfulness. It’s a surround sound and a surround smell,” Eric Motley, executive vice president of the Aspen Institute describes over the phone from his office in D.C. He begins every summer session with a hike up Hunter Creek, intermittently reading from Wordsworth’s The Prelude. Eric continues, “Ascending the mountain, you feel that you are suspended above the toxins, above the cars and traffic and gas stations. There’s a pureness. You’re also out of breath, and so that much more conscious of the air you’re taking in. It awakens the senses, the flowers, the water, the mountain cracking open and exposing itself.”
THE ENVIRONMENT, STUPID If one were to sum up the definitive smell of Aspen, it would probably be that of “pureness,” or, in a more literal sense, nothingness. Isolated from any urban centers or large expressways, the air here is much cleaner than what the vast majority of humanity sucks in on a daily basis. Furthermore, the elevation and lack of humidity do double duty. Molecules don’t move very well in dry, cold air, and even if they did, the nose’s smell receptors retract, leaving us with a blank slate, a white box, what we casually refer to as
“fresh.” But that’s just the beginning. The valley, flanked on three sides by national forest, is protected from longhaul dusty winds, but not so protected that the air gets stagnate and weighed down with particulate. Further aided by clean energy and growth restrictions, we are free of the dreaded brown cloud that so often blankets populated valleys. The elevation keeps the air dry and cool, yet we’re far enough south for the sun to induce its magic on the flora which pumps into the atmosphere a complex mix of VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Highlights include terpene from pines and isoprene from the aspens as well as myriad delicioussmelling compounds from flowers. Snow, the much celebrated state of H20 our economy depends upon, doesn’t technically have a scent, and yet, it does, doesn’t it? The only scientific explanation is that it is an uptick in humidity detected by the nose. However, “scent is a confluence of what we are seeing, hearing and feeling, emotionally and physically,” explains Rachel Herz, an expert on the psychology of smell, to the N.P.R. show, Radiolab. We see snow. We shred snow. We love snow. We therefore feel it has a smell when in fact, that delicious, cold nothing is just that, nothing. Rain, on the other hand, is a
different story. When it rains here the smell is so sweet it’s like a slap in the face. That is, of course, not the rain itself, but plant-secreted oils as well as a bacterial-made chemical called geosmin that gets splashed up into the atmosphere. Ideal odorous conditions call for long dry spells followed by light rainfall — pretty much the precipitation pattern spring through fall.
BUT WAIT, SMELL DOESN’T EVEN WORK AT THIS ALTITUDE What’s odd is that, technically, there shouldn’t be this preponderance of powerful smells. Everything about Aspen’s climate makes it difficult for both our nose’s ability to smell and the molecules ability to be smelled. “Dry is certainly bad news for smell,” writes Dr. Luca Turin over email. The renegade molecular biologist and titular Emperor of Scent in Chandler Burr’s bestselling 2003 book, profiles his revolutionary new theory on smell (the first new theory to be properly advanced in 2,500 years). Turin also wrote the book on perfumes, literally. It’s called Perfumes, The Guide and is the Michelin standard for fragrances. I asked him if he agreed that our climate would be hard on the nose. “Indeed,
I was in Santa Fe some years ago,” he responded, “and I had to have a boiling kettle near me when smelling things.” Why then, if dry and cold kill scent, on a cold night is the smell of chimney smoke so pungent; how about the smell of grilling burgers wafting outside your favorite on-mountain eatery? The answer — hypothesized answer at least — is twofold. First, as Dr. Turin suspects, just like the eye, “the nose ‘dark-adapts’ and becomes more sensitive.” So even as the smell receptors retreat to protect themselves they become more sensitive and signal the brain with much more authority. Second, our olfaction is designed more for detecting new molecules than it is for detecting an accurate index of all present molecules, so when grandfathered chimney smoke finds its way through all that crisp nothing, it’s like a stone skipping across a glass pond.
MONEY, POT, CHAPSTICK What else then is skipping across our pond that creates a bouquet so distinctive, so evocative, it can be used as shorthand in popular culture? I’ll divide them into three baskets. First: money; let’s make like a Trump and talk about it. Attend a social gathering among the three-comma set and you will notice that everyone

is very, very clean, a whole different level of clean not cheaply attained — like say, Aspen air. And to that purity they add beautiful scents, the finest perfumes, artfully designed by the great perfumers of Europe. And then there are their things, which add a certain sugar and spice to the aggregate smell-scape: the leather inside a Range Rover, the leather of a Patek Philippe, the fresh-cut grass on the polo field and on the golf course, notes of pine and fresh lilies at the Caribou Club, the heady cloud of Champagne, garlic and fondue at Cloud Nine, the Aqua Di Parma and Santa Maria Novella lingering throughout Gorsuch, a wine cork extracted from its bottle after a 40-year wait. Add to all that money, our second basket: the ubiquitous smell of weed. Whether it’s some lingering smoke in the gondola, a sneak attack on the street, or a pungent puff wafting from the stock room, it’s a very present, very evocative smell experience. One feels perhaps envious, or disapproving, or camaraderous, or naughtiness. And then one might start thinking: But wait, it’s legal, and yet not legal, and when will it be totally legal? Should I have gotten into this business; did I miss a huge opportunity? Ugh, maybe I should just get stoned; nah, just a glass of wine. The shops themselves have their

own kind of odorifics. Strains, which range from peppery to sweet to that straight-up ganja stank, coalesce into an exhilarating, look-at-me-now-mom type feeling. Silverpeak, the so-called “Prada” of pot stores, uses lavender oil diffusers to further heighten the aromatic experience, an old retailer trick that goes back centuries. The third basket I will call the “walking around smells.” Places like the gondola, which doesn’t really have
a saddle pulled from a sweaty horse. The various foot bridges that cross the Roaring Fork all have different degrees of a molded, rotten wood smell, which happens to be a personal favorite. In the end, everyone has their own smell memories and associations. For example, in addition to my bizarre association with antifreeze, I also love that first moment you get off the airplane, thin air mixed with jet fuel, flowers and pine; it smells like home.

Landon Clements, who stars in Bravo’s Southern Charm and is a frequent visitor during the summer, says her little Eskimo dog freaks out the moment the plane lands. Charlotte doesn’t display that behavior anywhere else. Landon also loves the smell of mud down by Woody Creek, a scent memory from her childhood in Georgia. David Houggy, president of the Aspen Science Center, loves “pine for sure. Grass. The streams. Mossy woods. Hickory House.” Art dealer Meredith Darrow, who does a summer pop-up in Performance Ski, prefers the smells of
summer to winter, and loves good old wildflowers and pine. Jared Borgia, an aspiring marijuana mogul, recalls the signature scent of the Mountain Club, “Yeah, it was my B.O. from wearing my work uniform under my ski suit in order to get as many runs in as possible before I started my lunch shift.” Missy Shennan, who has been on and off ski bumming since the '70s, recalls winters before the fireplace restrictions, “The whole town smelled of piñon pine on winter nights; heavenly, but smoggy.” Eric Motley, of the Aspen Institute and a poet at heart, can’t help but romanticize, “The higher I ascend, the purer becomes the scent of nature. It is as if the air has been stripped of all excesses, and the water below, the wild flowers hugging the ground, and the light of the rising sun fill the void and are deeply interfused, ‘giving me,’ as the poet would say, ‘Among the fretful dwellings of mankind, / A knowledge, a dim earnest, of the calm / That Nature breathes among the hills and groves.’” Or as Dr. Turin explains, “I love smells in general, but natural smells tend more to the sublime than the beautiful, the latter being defined as something devised by a human for another.” And maybe that is what sums up the smell of Aspen: the beautiful meets the sublime, with a whiff of the ridiculous thrown in for good measure.

Friendly, black domestic-shorthaired male. Found early January on the Rio Grande trail near Basalt High School. He is a special needs kitty. Call 544.0206 for details.
Thanks to all of our supporters, our shelter + its non-profit Friends (F.A.A.S.) have neutered over 16,000 dogs + cats with our spay/neuter program!
OPEN 7am-6pm EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR 970.544.0206
CALLIE
Beautiful, 7-year-old Pit Bull mix who gets along great with people. She gets along well with most dogs, but will require a knowledgeable, responsible home.
SNEAKERS
Beautiful, two-yearold black domestic short-haired male who gets along well with everyone. Very friendly and sweet.
COSMO and CHLOE
Cosmo and Chloe are beautiful 18.5-year-old Tabby cats who were released to the shelter as a lifelong pair and we would like to keep them together. Sweet kitties! Chloe is the more outgoing of the two. Cosmo loves to hang out in his bed but ventures out often for treats. Low-maintenance, loving and very spry for their age.
LAYLEE
SAM
Beautiful, 8-year-old Calico who gets along well with everyone, including children. Unfortunately, Laylee peed in her previous home, so she will require a stable, knowledgeable environment.
Very cute, snuggly, strong, energetic, 7-year-old Pit Bull mix. Incredibly alert + very smart. Great with all people, including children, but best as an only pet. Not great with most other dogs.

The maximum capacity of the Eagle Cross-Pump and Pipeline will be limited to 400 c.f.s., and average daily diversions at the individual intakes, on both the Homestake Conditional Diversion Rights diverted at the Pipeline intakes pursuant to the changed and alternate points of diversion in Section E below and these water rights, will be limited to the following rates of flow: 8.1 Cross Creek intake: 300 c.f.s. or 600 acre-feet per day. 8.2 Fall Creek intake: 250 c.f.s. or 500 acre-feet per day. 8.3 Peterson Creek intake: 70 c.f.s. or 140 acre-feet per day. 8.4 Eagle River intake: 300 c.f.s. or 600 acre-feet per day. Cumulative diversions at the Homestake Creek Intake, the Turkey Creek Intake, and the Eagle-Cross Pump and Pipeline on both the Homestake Conditional Diversion Rights diverted at such intakes pursuant to the changed and alternate points of diversion in Section 7 below and these water rights, will be limited to a volume of 280,000 acre feet over any ten year period and limited in accordance with the provisions of the 1998 Memorandum of Understanding between the Applicants, the Colorado River Water Conservation District, the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority, Cyprus - Climax Metals Company, the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District and Vail Associates (the “Eagle River MOU” or “MOU”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2. Pursuant to the MOU, the Western Slope signatories are to receive “up to 10,000 a-f of firm dry year yield” from the phased joint use project identified therein. See MOU Paragraph iv(b)(1). The Cities are to receive 20,000 a-f of yield on a 25 year rolling average, MOU Paragraph iv(b)(2), with the possibility of receiving an additional increment of yield as allowed under MOU Paragraph IV.C.3.D, i.e., up to approximately 3,500 a-f. This “Cap” applies to the Cities’ diversions to be made from the Eagle River Basin under the remaining conditional water rights decreed to the Homestake Project by the Homestake Project Decrees and the water rights decreed in Cases No. 88CW449 and 95CW272-A. It serves to limit the total amount of water available under such conditional water rights to the “capped” amount. E. Plan for Augmentation Including Exchange: Applicants’ diversions on the Homestake Project Water Rights and the 88CW449 Water Rights. 1. Water Rights to be Augmented: All rights absolutely or conditionally decreed to the Homestake Project, including the Homestake Conduit, East Fork Conduit, Homestake Tunnel, Homestake Reservoir, and Eagle-Arkansas Ditch, as well as all rights decreed to the Resolution Creek Reservoir, the Lower East Fork Reservoir, and the Eagle Park Wetland Irrigation System in Case No. 88CW449. 2. Original Decree: Case No. 95CW272-A, District Court Water Division No. 5. 3. Date of Original Decree: March 16, 2011. 4. Source: Water stored in Blodgett Reservoir, and available for release therefrom. 5. Statement of Plan for Augmentation, Including Exchange: To the extent that Applicants divert, deplete, or store water out of priority for their use on the water rights decreed in the Homestake Project Decrees at Homestake Reservoir; the Homestake Conduit; the East Fork Conduit; the Homestake Tunnel, or the Eagle Arkansas Ditch (as described in Paragraph 3.E.6 below) or at the Homestake Creek Intake, Turkey Creek Intake, or Eagle-Cross Pump and Pipeline (as described in Paragraphs 3.B, 3.C, and 3.D above), or on the water rights decreed in Case No. 88CW449 for the Eagle Park Wetland Irrigation system; the Resolution Creek Reservoir; or the Lower East Fork Reservoir, described below, when there is a lawful call placed that could result in curtailment of those rights, Applicants will release water to the Eagle River from storage in Blodgett Reservoir in an amount, up to the amount depleted by the Applicants’ out-of-priority diversions, storage, or depletions, so as to prevent injury to downstream water rights exercising a lawful call for water. Replacement may be by direct release or exchange as set forth in Paragraph 3.E.6 below. 6. Exchange Reaches: The exchange reaches for operation of the exchanges herein extend from the confluence of the Eagle River and Cross Creek (most downstream point) upstream to: (1) Homestake Reservoir on Homestake Creek; (2) the diversion points of the Homestake Conduit on tributaries to Homestake Creek and the Eagle River; (3) the diversion point of the East Fork Conduit on the East Fork; (4) the diversion points of the Eagle-Arkansas Ditch on tributaries to the South and East Forks of the Eagle River; (5) Resolution Creek Reservoir on Resolution Creek; and (6) the Turkey Creek Intake (most upstream points) and are as follows: 6.1 From Blodgett Reservoir described in Section 3, above, upstream to Homestake Reservoir.

Priority Date: November 27, 1995. 4. Integrated System: Applicants are the owners of numerous absolute and conditional water rights within Water Division No. 5, including those rights associated with what is known as the Homestake Project, a joint venture of the Cities. The water rights that are the subject of this Application are to be part of a single water system, consisting of absolute and conditional surface and underground water rights, exchanges, and plans for augmentation including exchanges, including the water rights originally decreed to the Homestake Project by the Eagle County District Court in CA 1193, as such rights have been previously corrected and/or modified by subsequent decrees of the Division 5 Water Court, including those in Cases No. 85CW151, 85CW582, 85CW583 and 06CW225, (the “Homestake Project Decrees”); the rights decreed in Case No. 88CW449; and the rights decreed in Case No. 95CW272-A, which are all within a reasonably compact geographic location within the Eagle River basin upstream of Minturn, Colorado. The system will use water of the Eagle River and certain of its tributaries as identified in the Homestake Project Decrees, and in Cases No. 88CW449 and 95CW272-A. The development of the water rights decreed in Case No. 88CW449 is closely associated with the development of the rights decreed in Case No. 95CW272-A, and the Applicants intend to operate the decrees in an integrated manner. Further, the water rights entered in the Homestake Project Decrees, and in Cases No. 88CW449 and 95CW272-A are integrated into the water supply systems of the City of Colorado Springs and the City of Aurora. Diligence as to one portion of the integrated system constitutes diligence as to all portions thereof. 5. Provide a detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: The Applicant and its constituent members, the City of Colorado Springs and the City of Aurora, engaged in extensive work during the diligence period, including the following: A. In December 2003, the City of Colorado Springs filed Case No. 03CW320 in the District Court in and for Water Division No. 5, and a related adjudication filing in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (“federal District Court”), pursuant to that court’s continuing jurisdiction in Consolidated Cases No. 2782, 5016 and 5017 (the so-called “Blue River Decree”). These filings were made to adjudicate its plan and method of substitution operations for its Blue River Water Rights as described in the 2003 Memorandum of Agreement Regarding Colorado Springs Substitution Operations with the Colorado River Water Conservation District, the City and County of Denver, the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, the County of Summit, Vail Summit Resorts, Inc., and the Town of Breckenridge, and a related Memorandum of Agreement with the County of Summit, Vail Summit Resorts, Inc. and the Town of Breckenridge (collectively the 2003 MOA). Upon dismissal of the federal District Court action, Colorado Springs continued to pursue adjudication of Case No. 03CW320 by entering into stipulations with various opposers during the diligence period and submitting proposed decrees in November 2011 and September 2012. The District Court for Water Division No. 5 entered a final decree in November 2012. B. In December 2003, the City of Colorado Springs filed Case No. 03CW314 in the Division 5 Water Court seeking adjudication of absolute and conditional exchange rights to the Blue River Project from various points in the Colorado River basin, including the Homestake Project. During the diligence period, Applicant continued to pursue adjudication of the exchanges described in the case by entering into stipulations with various opposers and submitting a proposed decree in February 2012. The court entered a findings of fact, conclusions of law, judgment and decree in March 2012. C. The City of Colorado Springs, in partnership with the City of Fountain, the Security Water District, and Pueblo West Metropolitan District, has completed construction of the first Phase of the Southern Delivery System (“SDS”). This project is a conveyance system to deliver water (including water derived from the conditional water rights herein) from the Arkansas River main stem to Pueblo West and the Colorado Springs/ Fountain/Security area. During this diligence period, Colorado Springs and its partners have completed the NEPA analysis, executed contracts with the United States Bureau of Reclamation for use of Pueblo Reservoir for conveyance and storage, and obtained a 1041 land use permit from Pueblo County. The SDS partners have also during this diligence period completed construction of the SDS Phase I facilities, including raw water and finished water pipelines, pumping stations, and water treatment plant, and this system is now operational and delivering water. SDS expenditures during the diligence period have exceeded $602,227,000. D. During the diligence period, the City of Colorado Springs has expended significant sums upon its integrated water supply system, including conditional water rights. Capital expenditures for Colorado Springs’ water supply system from March, 2011, through February, 2017, is $790,953,031. E. During the diligence period, the City of Colorado Springs completed its Integrated Water Resources Plan (IWRP), which identified a portfolio of water supply projects, policies, and processes that will be necessary to provide a reliable and sustainable supply of water for its customers for the next 50 years. The IWRP identified numerous water supply, storage, reuse, conveyance, and conservation projects that will be necessary to supply deliver enough water to meet estimated customer demands at buildout of Colorado Springs. Specifically, the IWRP identified Colorado Springs allocation of yield associated with the Eagle River Project and these conditional rights as being necessary to meet future demands. F. The Applicant has continued to pursue development of a joint project or projects as contemplated by the 1998 MOU (“ERMOU”) with Vail Associates, Upper Eagle River Regional Water Authority, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Cypress Climax Mining Company and the Colorado River Water Conservation District. Ongoing engineering and other work associated with the development of the joint MOU project is directly related to development of the water rights at issue, and has included the following: 1. Engineering evaluations of two projects (Eagle‐Arkansas Gravity Alternative and Camp Hale to Homestake Reservoir Alternative) to divert water from the Eagle River drainage basin to the headwaters of the Arkansas River as documented by Grand River Consulting in the January 2012 and January 2013 reports on Water Yield Estimates for Homestake Project Expansion Options, and by Black & Veatch in the April 2, 2012 report on Eagle River Drainage Basin Diversion Projects. 2. A reconnaissance-level investigation of reservoir storage options in the lower Homestake Creek valley by Grand River Consulting, RJH Consultants, and ERO Resources in the January 24, 2014 report on Lower Homestake Creek Reservoir Sites. 3. Field activities and an engineering evaluation of preferred reservoir storage sites on Homestake Creek to obtain site-specific geologic data, identify key geologic conditions, and evaluate if there are geologically preferred sites as documented by RJH Consultants in the April 14, 2015 technical memo on the Whitney Creek Phase I Investigation. The work required completion of a U.S. Forest Service Temporary Special Use Permit to allow for Phase I fieldwork, and completion of a U.S. Forest Service Application for Transportation and Utility Systems and Facilities on Federal Lands for planned Phase II field work. 4. The Applicant collaborated with over 40 stakeholders over a year-long planning effort to develop a shared vision and recommendations for restoration and management associated with the Camp Hale Eagle River Headwaters Restoration Project. This effort culminated in an August 21, 2014 Master Plan intended to convey to the U.S. Forest Service desired conditions and recommendations that will help achieve ecological restoration and continuance of other valued uses in the Camp Hale area. 5. The Applicant has continued to pursue development of a joint project or projects as contemplated by the ERMOU with Vail Associates, Upper Eagle River Regional Water Authority, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Cypress Climax Mining Company, and the Colorado River Water Conservation District. These activities include an initial screening study of proposed MOU project alternatives and ongoing feasibility-level evaluations of preferred MOU project alternatives. These activities include active coordination with the National Forest Foundation and U.S. Forest Service to identify potential projects that mutually benefit MOU objectives and wetland restoration through the Camp Hale area. 6. Costs associated with the above activities during the diligence period was $869,601 expended by the City of Colorado Springs and $689,417.00 expended by the City of Aurora. G. During the diligence period the Applicant made capital improvements to structures and facilities of the Homestake Project, including the Homestake collection system, and the Otero Pump Station and Pipeline. The City of Colorado Springs expended $37,303,588 and the City of Aurora expended $27,886,725 for such capital improvements as well as operations and maintenance. H. During the diligence period, the Applicant participated as a stakeholder in the negotiation and development of the Upper Colorado River Wild & Scenic Rivers Stakeholder Group Alternative Management Plan. This Plan is designed to provide a locally based alternative to a federal Wild & Scenic Rivers designation that is intended to balance permanent protection of the outstandingly remarkable values identified by federal agencies for certain segments of the Colorado River with certainty for the stakeholders, water project yield, and flexibility for water users. The Homestake Partners continue to be active as a stakeholder in the implementation of the Plan, which among other things, may affect the development of the Subject Water Rights. I. During the diligence period, the Applicant participated in statewide water planning processes, including the Colorado Water Plan, the Statewide Water Supply Initiative (“SWSI”) Phase II and 2010 update, the Basin Roundtable and Interbasin Compact Committee processes authorized under House Bill 05-1177, and other committees, work groups, and forums through which it protected and promoted the development of the Subject Water Rights to meet the future water supply needs of the Cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs. In these processes, during the diligence period, the Applicant has actively promoted the ERMOU Joint Use Project, which involves the Subject Water Rights as an Identified Project and Process (“IPP”) for inclusion in the Arkansas, Colorado, and South Platte Basin Implementation Plans and the Colorado Water Plan and has identified the development of the Subject Water Rights as a key component of meeting the Cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs’ future water supply needs. J. The City of Aurora is developing its Prairie Waters Project, a large comprehensive water supply, storage, and treatment project in which return flows to the South Platte River from Aurora’s water sources, including from the sources at issue here, may be rediverted. During this diligence period, the City of Aurora has expended over $3,225,900 on the construction of several elements of its Prairie Waters Project. During this diligence period, Aurora filed and has prosecuted applications in Case No. 13CW3088 (decreed on April 22, 2014), Case No. 13CW3065 (decreed on March 2, 2015), and Case No. 15CW3064, which is still pending. All filings were made in Water Division 1 to facilitate this project. K. During the diligence period, the City of Aurora made expenditures in excess of $285,000 for legal services for participation in Water Divisions 1 and 5 cases to protect the rights and interests of Aurora with regard to its water supply system, including these conditional water rights. Additionally Aurora made expenditures in excess of $135,000 for legal services in furtherance of developing additional water rights for its system. L. During the diligence period, the City of Aurora has expended significant sums on its water supply system. Total capital expenditures for Aurora’s water supply system from March, 2011 to February, 2017 exceed $258,400,000, including expenditures in excess of $27,886,725 for the water supply system to which the Homestake Project and the conditional water rights that are the subject of this case are directly physically integrated. M. The City of Aurora has negotiated and executed a Recovery Action Plan Participation Agreement with the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, and a Ruedi Insurance Water Cost Participation Agreement with the City and County of Denver. The purpose of these agreements is to mitigate the impacts of transmountain diversions to Colorado’s Front Range in order to support the Recovery Implementation
Program for Endangered Fish Species in the Upper Colorado River Basin. During the diligence period, Aurora provided more than $522,000 to the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District and more than $161,000 to the City and County of Denver pursuant to these agreements. N. On September 22, 2013, the City of Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 08CW253, Water Division 1, granting a finding of reasonable diligence and making absolute portions of conditional exchange rights. These water rights allow Aurora to exchange certain reusable water from the confluence of Tarryall Creek and the South Platte River to Spinney Mountain Reservoir. O. The City of Aurora spent over $742,000 during this diligence period to upgrade its automated utility reading system. P. The City of Aurora’s Integrated Master Plan, which it updates every five years, integrates short-term and long-range planning across the water resources, treatment, and transmission and distribution disciplines within Aurora Water. An Integrated Capital Improvement Plan focused on growth-related projects was also developed using consistent key assumptions and the same planning horizon for all disciplines. Long range plans were developed for each of the disciplines to address uncertainty around future growth and climate variability. Aurora expended over $3,240,000 during the subject diligence period on this combined effort. Q. The City of Aurora performed studies of lawn irrigation return flows (“LIRFs”) throughout Aurora that included various analyses conducted to determine the amount, timing, and location of additional LIRFs within several drainage basins within Aurora’s service area. R. The Applicant reserves the right to identify additional relevant efforts that may be later discovered or to make upward adjustments to amounts expended on certain projects. In particular, the Cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs have extensive water rights portfolios, extensive and complex water supply, collection, treatment and reuse systems, and extensive numbers of agreements, contracts, and leases etc. related to their facilities and the use, reuse and storage of their water rights. The Cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs are involved in many legal actions related to the collection, treatment, reuse and protection of their water rights. Further, the management, protection, and operation of the water rights and the facilities system involve numerous City of Aurora and Colorado Springs Utilities departments and staff members throughout the state. Aurora and Colorado Springs made diligent efforts with regard to this Application to determine and quantify all efforts made by the Cities toward completion of the appropriations and application of the water rights decreed in Case No. 95CW272A to beneficial use. However, it is reasonably possible that relevant efforts or expenditures may have been overlooked or need further upward adjustment. 6.

BOOK REVIEW
‘NOTES ON A BANANA’ MUCH HAS BEEN contributed to the canon of first-person literature on anxiety and mental health disorders. But David Leite, a James Beard Award-winning food writer and cookbook author, offers a witty account to the trove with his new memoir, “Notes on a Banana: A Memoir of Food, Love, and Manic Depression.” Leite takes the reader on a coming-of-age journey — from his childhood in the blue-collar city of Fall River, Massachusetts, to a working professional in New York City. First, Leite grew up in a devoutly Catholic and food-crazed Azorean family. “Food. It was one of the ways we bonded,” he writes. In this traditional Portuguese family, living in what he calls the “armpit of Massachusetts,” Leite learned to be a big dreamer. In fact, dreaming is what sustained him throughout a childhood

that was speckled with transgressions like a neighbor’s sexual advances. The whole time, Leite is struggling to understand the range of his emotions that seems to run higher and lower than what he believes to be the normal spectrum. As a nod to the book’s title, his mother often referred to her son affectionately as “banana.” She also writes brief messages on bananas for her son. One of these messages is “Jesus loves you!” Admittedly, his mother “is a blood hound for Jesus,” he writes. “She can sniff out sin before it happens the way some people smell burnt toast before a seizure.” Complicating his early teen years, Leite starts becoming aware of the fact that he’s gay. This isn’t something he shares with his parents until he’s an adult and in a relationship with his long-

term partner, Alan, many years later. Leite’s dreaming and ambition propelled him to a considerable amount of success as a writer for the likes of Bon Appetite and other glossy magazines. He eventually started his own website, Leite’s Culinaria, for which he won the coveted James Beard Award — twice. Logophiles will appreciate the author’s expansive vocabulary and readers will enjoy Leite’s ability to bring levity to a host of serious — and sometimes sad — subjects. The book gives a universal account of complications that many lives encounter, but “Notes on a Banana” brings levity and humor to the hardships the author recounts.
