POPULAR MUSIC THE LOS ANGELES-BASED Orgone gives oldschool R&B, funk and soul a 21stcentury spin. The eight-member band has backed the likes of Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson and Cee Lo Green, but over the last decade their dance-friendly live shows have won them fans across the country — and here in Aspen, where they’ve become regulars at the Belly Up. Orgone returns to the Galena Street club on Tuesday, May 20, for a no cover show. Their raw funk sound is driven by keyboardist Dan Hastie, guitarist Sergio Rios and vocalist Adryon de Leon. Orgone’s set Tuesday is among a selection of free shows at Belly Up this offseason, including reggaerockers The Movement on Sunday May, 18, and a DJ set by Sunsquabi on Thursday, May 22.

with JOHN COLSON
Enough with the political posing, it’s time to take a stand IT HAS OCCURRED to me that the most basic principles underlying the platforms of our two major political parties must be made of snowflakes — once the sun shines on them, they seem to simply disappear into thin air. How else to explain how the Republicans — who have long championed themselves as the party for smaller government and less official intrusion into the private concerns of the citizens — want to vastly boost the state’s prison population by making a third drunk driving offense into a felony-level crime? And how else to explain how so many Democrats, claiming the high ground of preference for treatment over imprisonment for social crimes, went along with this bald-faced, public relations sham? Although it was the Dems who, thankfully, drop-kicked the bill to the sidelines toward the end of the 2014 legislative session in Denver, once again proving that they are the party of fractious behavior, strange twists of logic and a kind of legislative compassion for the little guy. My main point of disagreement with this whole idea is based on the fact, and it is a fact, that there is no proof that threatening prison terms discourages people in the commission of certain types of crimes. Just take a look at marijuana use, which for decades has carried insanely long prison terms without discouraging pot smokers in the least. Or simply take a gander at the case of drunk driving itself, which has as long a history as the very act of driving itself (whether motorized or otherwise). The discovery of alcohol certainly preceded the development of driving skills in human history, and while there are no records to prove it, observation of human behavior should be evidence enough that getting drunk and then driving somewhere has been a human foible for millenia. And a drunk, as experience has shown, thinks nothing of getting behind the wheel regardless of the potential mayhem and grief that act poses for innocent victims of horrible accidents. I should shamefully admit here that I have driven while thoroughly drunk, and typically did not think about it in any meaningful way before I committed this act of foolhardiness. This, despite knowing full well I might harm others or put myself in jail, although thankfully I’ve never done either.
But the point is that thinking is not part of drinking, and making laws to force us to think more clearly while drunk or put us in prison are completely pointless. Education and treatment are the better options. To me, the bill mentioned above is just another example of grandstanding and political posing by legislators who somehow never seem able to tackle the serious, systemic problems facing this state, but who are always ready to primp and parade themselves on such “easy” issues as drunk driving, drug offenses of any kind and, oh, yeah, getting rid of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (known as the ACA or, derisively, as Obamacare). As part of the time-honored sport of playing on voter apathy and ignorance, elected know-nothings love to find these “easy” targets and spout about them endlessly, thereby garnering media exposure that permits these supposed solons to act as though they were uttering the wisdom of sages. Hence, Republican state Sens. Steve King, R-Grand Junction, and Mike Johnston, D-Denver, offered a bill making it a felony to be convicted of three DUIs in five years, or four DUIs in 15 years. The sentence for this crime would be up to six years in state prison. The bill had already passed in the house, sponsored by Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs. Now, it seems to me, the constituency that would benefit most from this bill would be the prison-building industry, which already has made plenty of money building the 25 prisons currently operating in Colorado and presumably would love to make some more. I’m awfully glad that Sen. Mary Hodge, D-Brighton, among others, pointed out that state money would be far better spent by working on the disease of alcoholism and the idiocy of drunk driving rather than locking more and more people behind bars. Already, according to Wikipedia and other sources, the incarceration rate in the United States of America is the highest in the world. While the United States represents about 5 percent of the world’s population, it houses around 25 percent of the world’s prisoners, at an annual cost of $60.3 billion. Do we really need to add to those disgraceful numbers by pretending the threat of a prison term will keep drunks from climbing behind the wheel?

LEGENDS & LEGACIES
FROM the VAULT
by TIM WILLOUGHBY
Linda Vroom, Margie Anderson, Melissa Jenkins and Carol Ward lounge in spring sunshine alongside the high school brick wall in 1965.
FAMISHED FOR SUNSHINE If you are not limited to a tourist-season residency, you have
experienced an Aspen spring. You know spring is not just more winter, but it does not resemble summer either. When the short daylight hours of a long winter leave you famished for sunshine, spring is most welcome. As a child I was not tuned in to the differences in daytime caused by the tilt of the earth; I defined spring as the time between skiing and Little League. From mid-April to July1, I had to contend with spring’s byproducts. The lifts always closed on Easter Sunday, but we could count on one more storm with the deepest, wettest, gloppiest snow. Adults cursed having to shovel again; those storms were “no damn good for anything.” But the storms were a gift to kids who knew the famous Colorado winter powder snow is useless for snowball making, but spring glop is just exactly right. I don’t think my teachers appreciated spring. Spring also meant snowmelt and that meant finding faded and wet lost dollar bills uncovered in shrinking snow banks. Since the streets were not paved and there were no storm drains in those days, spring also meant mud puddles. When walking home from (never when walking

break until the bell rang. Sunning by the brick wall, teens talked, teased, and flirted. Once all the snow disappeared, baseballs flew over the lawn, bicycles reappeared, and we counted down the hours until the end of the school year. Today, students in the colder Maroon Valley microclimate expect spring later than my generation did in Aspen, although global climate change may alter that timetable. Workers who live down-valley, where spring starts a month earlier, may take a cool outdoor sun break during lunch in town, yet anticipate daylight savings sunshine when they go home to tend gardens or pitch horseshoes in the yard. During Aspen’s spring offseason, when every day becomes a predictable continuation of the cyclical patterns of coping with the weather, adults who have the means to do so flee Aspen for Cancun or the desert. For the young, however, each day feels like a brand-new opportunity and a high-altitude spring with blistering sunshine rivals any winter or summer day for bliss. Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective. Reach him at redmtn@schat.net.

TALKING TR ASH
1950 ASPEN
ONE SEPT. 25, 1947, the Aspen Daily Times addressed the issue of illegal dumping, stating “City Marshal John Loushin is again warning citizens about dumping trash in the two official dump grounds. Only ashes and cans may be dumped at the glory hole on East Durant. Many persons are in the habit of dumping burnable trash and garbage there but this must stop. The city provides a dump ground on the Maroon Creek road for garbage and trash that can be burned. Persons dumping on this dump are reminded that trash and garbage must be hauled at least 500 feet from the road before dumping. There is plenty of space on the Maroon Creek dump ground and there is no excuse for dumping along the road. This spoils part of one of the most beautiful drives in this section. Let’s have a little city and county pride in getting rid of our refuse, visitors see many areas besides the city. Let’s keep a clean house.” This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK

TRIOO EYEWEAR: THE EYES HAVE IT
THE WORLD HAS CHANGED, and with it eyewear, too. It used to be I’d pay $400 or more for normal frames and lenses from a store. Last week, going with online purveyor Trioo Eyewear, I procured stylish, active-oriented glasses for $47. Made with a unique resin material, the frames are light, flexible and strong. The fee included shipping from the company factory in Shanghai. Granted, these are not madefor-sports glasses. But for my day-to-day use, including biking to work, my glasses do double duty as “active” eyewear. So far, the Trioo frames have been solid, on the bike or while writing a post for the GearJunkie blog. The bows are extra thin and flexible, and they fit secure but are comfortable at the nose and ears. Beyond the resin frames, Trioo sells a few interesting options. A carbon-fiber frame costs $97. Other materials include titanium and aluminum-magnesium frames.

The eyewear company (www.trioo.us) is one of many inexpensive outlets that have cropped up online. You can save hundreds of dollars in some cases and get similar quality to what you see in person at a store. The disadvantage is you cannot try them on for looks. You need to get your prescription checked at an optometrist to enter the numbers when ordering online. Glasses are delivered in about 10 days after ordering from Trioo. You then get 30 days to return if the fit, function or fashion is off. Trioo was founded in France and recently started selling from a new Shanghai headquarters. Look into the brand for inexpensive everyday or “active” eyewear of your own. Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

WINEINK
by KELLY J. HAYES
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION YOU WALK INTO A wine shop and start to look at the wines. There may be three or four bottles, all from a single maker, all from the same vintage, all from the same grape — but the prices escalate as you go up the shelves. Why is that? Well, many winemakers will produce wines that are made from smaller, specialized areas KELLY J. and that will have an HAYES influence on the price. In general, the smaller the area that has been a source for grapes, the higher the price of the wine will be. Let’s say, for example, that you select a wine that is labeled as a “California Cabernet Sauvignon.” What that means is that 75 percent of the grapes, as dictated by law, must have come from within the borders of the state of California. These generally are the least expensive wines that are made by a maker because they can buy grapes as inexpensively as possible on the open market from say, Napa, or Lodi, or even Temecula, which is in Southern California. Just because the grapes are sourced from a wide variety of regions, doesn’t make the wine bad. But it does mean that the intent of the bottling is to produce an affordable wine. A little higher up on the shelf
American Viticulture Area, which is a designation that defines a certain geographic boundary that has some feature that makes it unique for the production of wines. There are more than 200 AVAs in America and they range in size from 29,000 square miles (Upper Mississippi Valley AVA) to just 62 acres (the Cole Ranch AVA in Mendocino County). The designation of a wine from a particular AVA means that the winemaker has tried to select grapes from a particular region because they will have a unique
FIRST AND FOREMOST, A WINE FROM A SINGLE VINEYARD GETS EXTREME AND EXTRA ATTENTION FROM A WINEMAKER. THESE ARE THE ULTIMATE CANVASES FOR THE ARTIST. SECOND, A DESIGNATED VINEYARD IS DESIGNATED BECAUSE IT HAS A HISTORY OF PRODUCING GREAT FRUIT. FINALLY, A VINEYARD-DESIGNATED WINE IS WHAT MAKES OR BREAKS A WINERY’S REPUTATION. IT IS THE WINE THAT WILL BE REVIEWED, DISCUSSED, RATED. IT WILL ALSO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE WINE IN A MAKER’S PORTFOLIO. — and on the price list — there may be a wine from that same winemaker that is labeled as a “Napa Valley Cabernet.” In this case the grapes, at least 85 percent of them, originated within the Napa Valley AVA, or
and special flavor profile. The first American Viticulture Area was identified in 1980 in the seemingly unlikely locale of Augusta, Mo. The region, which is on the North bank (would that be the left or right bank?) of the
Missouri River, is west of St. Louis in St. Charles County. Perhaps half a dozen or so wineries operate in the region producing Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and wines from the official Missouri state grape, the Norton. In the case of the Napa Valleylabeled Cabernet, the wine may have come from grapes grown in Rutherford on the Valley floor, or up by Angwin, high on Howell Mountain. Or even a combination of grapes from both places. What this means, however, is that the wine will reflect the personality of the place, of Napa. And that will be an important factor to the winemaker. It is also important because the grapes come from hallowed ground. That is to say that a Napa-named wine will resonate with wine lovers who think highly of the region. They are likely to pay more for a wine from Napa than one labeled as a wine from California because they recognize the name as being from a place of quality. This also raises the value of the grapes at their place of origin. Buying grapes from Napa vineyards is inherently more expensive than buying grapes from other regions. So winemakers begin with a base that is higher in price to begin with. That is inevitably reflected in the final cost of the wine. At the top of the ladder will be
the “vineyard designated wines.” These are wines in which at least 95 percent of the grapes (and almost all vineyard designates are 100 percent) come out of a single vineyard. Now these wines are almost always considered to be the best wines that can possibly be produced by a single winemaker. And there are a couple of reasons for that. First and foremost, a wine from a single vineyard gets extreme and extra attention from a winemaker. These are the ultimate canvases for the artist. Second, a designated vineyard is designated because it has a history of producing great fruit. Finally, a vineyard-designated wine is what makes or breaks a winery’s reputation. It is the wine that will be reviewed, discussed, rated. It will also be the most expensive wine in a maker’s portfolio. Where a wine comes from may not be as important as how a wine a tastes. But as consumers become more savvy about the origins of the things they consume — not just wine, but their food as well — it is good to know that it is easy to tell where your wine was grown.

INSTANT CAFÉ
HANGING OUT AT ROXY’S CORNER IN OFFSEASON, a funny thing happens to some of us who live and work in the ABC: We struggle to find reasons to pass the roundabout — into town, that is. So recently when my stomach rumbled and a scan of my fridge found nothing appealing, I took a walk through my neighborhood in search of food. No sooner did I nearly stumble AMANDA over a miniature RAE wheelbarrow, tipped over and abandoned on the sidewalk, than a small dog scuttled past me and vanished around a corner. Eerie silence. Maybe I’ve been living on the set of “The Truman Show” all this time, I thought. A new tenant moved in recently, and though we’re not exactly neighbors, I’ve felt slightly more grounded since she arrived. Now, instead of slinking into Roxy’s Market to drop twenty bucks on artisanal cheese and organic vegetables in lieu of a proper meal, I turn the corner to the new Roxy’s Café. Cool seats and hot meals await. To say that the restaurant — open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with a full-service espresso and breakfast bar, hot and cold items for lunch and dinner, and a solid selection of beer and wine — has filled a niche would be a grand understatement. It was more like a gaping sinkhole. There are two other eateries in the commercial/ residential development here across from the Aspen Airport: One has limited seating (Franck Thirion French Pastry), the other has a few seats outside only (Louis Swiss Pastry), and both keep abbreviated daytime hours (until 2 and 3:30 p.m., respectively). Find yourself hungry in the late afternoon, and a graband-go snack from the market is your option. Until now. Roxy’s Café opened two months ago as of Tuesday, and it’s been “going gangbusters,” says manager

Kim Hanson. “Lunches are killing it. Two days ago was our best sales day. The day before that was our best sales day.” He grins. It’s Friday at noon, and most of the bright-red pleather chairs in the light-filled dining room are occupied; a line of customers six deep snakes from the counter at the front. A sizeable outdoor patio with matching chairs would probably be packed, too, if it wasn’t raining. I glimpse a few guys in ties, airport employees, a couple with a baby, an EMT, a pal of Hanson’s grabbing coffee, and an older lady in giant sunglasses tucking into a variety of dishes ($7-12): Slicedto-order roast beef and roast turkey sandwiches on organic bread; Caesar, spinach, and kale salads with shredded rotisserie chicken, blackened shrimp, and grilled salmon; big, bacon-topped burgers, BLTs, tuna melts, and towers of grilled veggies layered with pickled onions and pesto on ciabatta; four kinds of soups and stews; pepperoni, vegetable, and barbecue-chicken pizza by the slice or as whole pies to-go ($12-23). Dinner features much of the same, plus a nightly flatbread appetizer and hot entrée special (tonight’s include Camembert, Columbus dry salami, red grapes, and kale flatbread ($10), and pan-seared tilapia with mashed potatoes, roasted cauliflower and tomatoes, fried capers, and lemon, for $15. “Whenever I wanna do a special, I go over there and get inspiration, pick and choose, create my own shopping cart,” says café chef Phil House about Roxy’s Market next door, which sells more than 7,500 fresh and packaged items. It’s a two-way street: House is helping to provide more prepared foods in the grocery’s deli case. “We have bigger kitchen,” he says, “more ovens, a fryer.” Starting in June, Roxy’s Café will extend hours to weekends, offering brunch, a new station mixing up customizable salads, and more light fare including flatbread sandwiches and vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes made with
local, seasonal produce from Rocky Mountain Veggies (a Basalt greenhouse owned by a Roxy’s employee Cody Baker), Eagle Springs Organics, and dozens of other Colorado purveyors. “There was lots of demand for more prepared foods,” says Roxanne Lawler, co-owner of Roxy’s Market with her husband, Michael. “The café was a natural progression for us. Eventually we’ll connect the space to the market, and at some point we hope to have a greenhouse on-site. We saw an expansion of our core business: Offering healthy choices and making everyone’s life easier.” Roxy’s Café certainly seems to make life easier for Diana Duffey and her circle of friends living in the North 40. Every Wednesday evening, Duffey’s family joins as many as six others here for an early dinner. Before the café opened, they rarely got together. “We love it! It works out so well to walk over there,” says Duffey, adding that the kids play outside in sight while parents decompress over a meal and wine. “The food has been amazing. It is really reasonable, and they give enormous portions. They had a
lamb chop special the other night that was amazing.” Worker bees and other lunchseekers in the ABC are similarly impressed. “It is great to have a nice indoor and outdoor eating space where we can meet as a team, bring visitors and clients,” says Lindsy Fortier, creative services director of Aspen Skiing Co., whose office is a stone’s throw away. “We especially like going over and splitting a bottle of wine after a long week, very reasonably priced at $20 a bottle.” A variety of home-cooked foods; a cheerful space with lots of sun; proximity to the bus stop and airport tunnel; and a chill neighborhood atmosphere — it’s a good recipe indeed. “And there’s always parking, which is important around here. You don’t have to fight the CORE,” Duffey says. “One of my neighbors jokes that they’re just going to get rid of their kitchen because they don’t need it anymore. There’s Roxy’s Café.” Amanda Rae is plotting an offseason escape. Send ideas: amandaraewashere@gmail.com

That desire was only amplified as friends and co-workers shared tales of their offseason adventures; even Gunilla Asher, the namesake of this very column, had just returned from a South of the Border sojourn.

ASPEN UNTUCKED
by BARBARA PLATTS
Navigating the road of life as a 20-something presents both challenges and opportunities.
HALFWAY TO HALFWAY THE QUARTER-LIFE CRISIS THE AWARD-WINNING Broadway musical “Rent” poetically seared in our brains the number of minutes that (roughly) exist in a year. The curtain opens at the beginning of the show and we, the audience, are serenaded by a group of young adults who inform us that 525,600 minutes makes up a year in a life. But how do we BARBARA measure a quarter PLATTS of a life? How is 2½ decades understood? Do we take from “Rent” and use minutes (13,148,700)? Or possibly hours (219,000)? Or simplify it to days (9,125)? However we analyze it, one thing is for certain: we’re getting old. As my brother would say, “You’re almost halfway to halfway.” I started thinking of the term quarter-life crisis while at a friend’s house a couple of weeks ago. We were discussing the frustrations we’ve had since the end of college such as how to meet new people, how to succeed at work, and how to anticipate the next step. She dubbed the anxiety we shared a “quarter-life crisis.” I had never heard this term before but it made me realize that I was far from alone in my anxieties about my postcollege life. The idea of a quarter-life crisis is not a new phenomenon by any means. However, it’s a bit different now then it was for G R A P H I C B Y M AT T F E R R O
NO ONE TELLS US HOW TO NAVIGATE THE HECTIC AND UNEXPECTED TERRAIN OF OUR MID-20s. I’VE HAD PLENTY OF TIPS AND PIECES OF ADVICE FROM ELDERS ABOUT HOW TO BE A GOOD MOTHER OR A GOOD CITIZEN IN MY COMMUNITY. I’VE HEARD ENDLESS STORIES ABOUT GROWING OLD AND TIPS ON FINDING “THE ONE.” BUT NO ONE HAS EVER LAID OUT A MAP TO HELP ALL OF US 20-SOMETHINGS TRAVERSE THROUGH THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF BEING AN ADULT. past generations. Millennials are much more transient with work and we are getting married and buying houses much later. Most of us 20-somethings feel like we are in limbo or a form of purgatory, which can be intensely overwhelming. Many believe the quarter-life crisis happens at the moment we throw our graduation caps in the air and grasp our diplomas. However, I’ve found that the crisis settles in much later. We figured that the majority of our problems lie in the transition from high school to college and then college to the real world. Our generation is constantly told that we won’t get a job because of the bad economy. But what happens after we actually get that job? What comes next? For me, and many others I know, this is when the quarter-life crisis settles in — after we get our first job. I’ve realized this as my 24th
birthday quickly approaches. I’m sure many roll their eyes at my anxiety, since 24 is a relatively young age and I most likely have millions of minutes ahead. But, for me, 24 is the oldest age I’ve been thus far. So June 1 marks the start of a new journey in unchartered territory. No one tells us how to navigate the hectic and unexpected terrain of our mid-20s. I’ve had plenty of tips and pieces of advice from elders about how to be a good mother or a good citizen in my community. I’ve heard endless stories about growing old and tips on finding “the one.” But no one has ever laid out a map to help all of us 20-somethings traverse through the trials and tribulations of being an adult. We find ourselves frequently asking questions like: Is this the career I had hoped for? Did I go to school for the right thing? How do
I ask for a raise? How am I going to make rent this month? How do I know when I should start looking for another job or a promotion? These questions and the confusion they bring are part of a normal day for most of us. Anxiety is a constant companion and concerns are a steady topic of conversation. I’ve yet to find many clear-cut answers. Luckily, research has suggested that amidst the confusion and anxiety from a quarter-life crisis, optimism still prevails. We American Millennials still carry in us the American Dream and we have an overall assumption that things will turn out successfully. After all, we still have the world at our fingertips and possibilities are endless. Perhaps measuring a life, or a quarter of one, in minutes, hours or days is not helpful. Maybe the best way to measure 2½ decades is in lessons learned and experiences had. Maybe the way to measure it is in the amount of moments that have helped define us. No, we don’t have all of the answers. In fact, we have very few of them. But realizing our lack of knowledge and control may be the first major step in becoming an adult. At least, I sure hope so. Barbara Platts was still 23 (NOT 24) years young when this column was published, just in case anyone was wondering. She can be reached at bplattts.000@gmail.com or @BarbaraPlatts.

OPEN MIC TO OPEN BOOK THE THRILLING ASPECT of attending the Aspen Poets’ Society’s monthly readings is that you never know who is going to show up with a poem — a well-known state poet laureate might be followed by a barista spitting free verse or your neighbor sharing her work publicly for the first time. Reading the nonprofit’s new anthology, “A Democracy of Poets,” elicits a similar feeling, gathering its strength from its egalitarian spirit and tremendous variety of voices. The book collects the best work from the Aspen Poets’ Society’s readings — monthly open mic affairs that have been ongoing since 2006 and are currently hosted at Victoria’s Espresso & Wine Bar. The book’s title is a nod to the small“d” democracy that guided the compilation. The book’s editors — Marjorie DeLuca, Rett Harper, Kim Nuzzo and Cameron Scott — invited anyone who has delivered a poem at a Poets’ Society reading to submit up to eight works for consideration. They received 327 poems, according to DeLuca. From there, the committee removed the poets’ names, read their works and voted “yes,” “no” or “maybe” on each, assigned a numerical score to them, then picked the top-scoring poems for the book. The result is a menagerie of styles and subjects in 98 poems from 48 different poets. The poets in this volume selfidentify as grocery store clerks, teachers, musicians, housewives, fishing guides and trust funders — a microcosm of Aspen. It includes regulars at the readings, including Aspen Public Radio news director Roger Adams, who has three poems in the anthology, and Glenwood Springs High School math teacher Tony Alcantara, along with familiar local faces like Aspen Police Department administrator Cathleen Treacy and Thunder River Theatre’s Valerie Haugen. The book’s four editors also have poems included. “This anthology represented as many of these voices as we could solicit from poets who have in one way or another participated in this west-of-the-Continental Divide chorus, at that monthly poetry reading in Aspen that has kept pace with the changing years,” reads a preface by
Nuzzo and Scott. Prominent regional poets also make appearances in the book, including Colorado Poet Laureate Dave Mason, whose “Horse People” offers a two stanza portrait of Comanche Chief Quanah Parker’s mother, and former Wyoming Poet Laureate David Romtvedt, whose “Birds Singing for Jesus” opens “Jesus was a carpenter, / but it’s hard to picture him / hiding nails — mornings at work, / then sharing a sandwich, a coarse joke, / later walking to the olive grove / to take a leak.” Reading through the submissions, DeLuca says, she didn’t see any unifying Aspen style of poetry emerge, though local scenes and themes did recur in the editors’ selections. “It wasn’t intentional, but we noticed afterward that we tended to lean toward ones that were oriented to local issues like skiing, or driving down (Highway) 82,” she explains. At their best, the works in “A Democracy of Poets” that tackle familiar Aspen and Roaring Fork Valley subjects crystallize the things we see every day here and make them new for readers. For example, Scott writes of driving 82 “as Mt. Sopris shifts positions, clouds shift, / the river grade
rises and wraps around corners.” since poems are our product?’” In “Aspen Ski Day,” local ski patrolDeLuca has lived in Aspen since ler and rugby player turned real estate 1974, and her publishing house grew agent Ed Cross describes skiing a pow- out of her printing company, Aspen der day: “Eight new inches; no need Graphic Solutions, which, in turn, for fear / The snow, deep and soft, / grew out of her typesetting business, Waiting; a virgin bride.” which typeset advertisements, busiWestern Slope Poet Laureate Art ness cards and the like in the years Goodtimes writes lovingly of the Orvis before computer printing came along.

DIRT WORKS
AND WHY THE D-WORD SHOULD MATTER TO YOU by JEANNE MCGOVERN
“I’VE ALWAYS LOVED THE LANDFILL; A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE LANDFILL. BUT WE HAVEN’T ALWAYS REALIZED ITS POTENTIAL ... THE TIME HAS COME TO CHANGE THAT.” — JACK JOHNSON, PITKIN COUNTY LANDFILL, PUBLIC OUTREACH /EDUCATION COORDINATOR
The Pitkin County Landfill (above) might someday be a “showcase” for what can be accomplished with dirt and repurposed materials (below).

“WHAT DOES ‘DIRT’ MEAN TO YOU?” Eden Vardy asks the people gathered around a work table in a small shed at the Pitkin County Landfill. The answers the group give are diverse; and they are anything but dry as dust — words like “life,” “food” and “future” crop up repeatedly. “Only in the English language does ‘dirt’ conjure up negative images; I am glad to hear you all have a different definition,” says Vardy, founder of Aspen TREE, who is leading a workshop on “eco gardening” as part of the landfill’s new Living Laboratory series. “That is what we are trying to do here — redefine our thoughts about dirt and the land that surrounds us.” The Living Lab series extends beyond dirt — past workshops included “Yard Tractors: Raising Chickens for Fun and Food” and another on composting; upcoming talks will focus on growing tomatoes at high altitude and controlling invasive weeds (see sidebar, page 22) — but it never loses sight of its mission: teaching people about the world around them, including the local dump. “People who say dump — and I say it, too — might think that once they throw something out, it’s gone,” says Jack Johnson, public outreach/education coordinator for the Pitkin County Solid Waste Center. “Well, what you threw out may not be in your house or your garage, but it lives on somewhere else. Oftentimes, that’s the Pitkin County Landfill. “I’ve always loved the landfill; a lot of people have always loved the landfill. But we haven’t always realized its potential ... the time has come to change that.”

In fact, change is already happening — in part because it has to. “Because of Pitkin County’s limitations, we will never have another dump,” explains Johnson. “So we have to preserve the life of this one.” According to county officials, we can only bury trash at the current landfill for an estimated 25 more years. A push for composting will help extend the landfill’s life (see “Go Green,” this page). And a move to divert other items from being buried is also a key to success; currently, some 60 percent of materials that could go in the landfill are diverted “Actually, burying things is our last option,”
and urban farming is going on all over the place — but in one of the greenest places on earth, we don’t even have a real nursery. And people have questions. “We started the Living Lab to help answer those questions.” In the eco-gardening class led by Vardy, many questions were indeed answered. But others were raised. And, in the words of one local gardener:
says Johnson. “When I took on this job, I asked myself how we could build on the good work already being done and the answer was clear: educate people. “Create a shift in attitude about what a landfill is; help people realize the landfill’s potential.” Already area residents seem to know about recycling. But a gap remains. “There is a great desire by people to garden —
COMPOSTING IN THE MOUNTAINS: • Outdoor composting is best done in the summer months to avoid frozen piles. • Try vermicomposting inside during winter. More information can be found at www.aspenpitkin. com/Living-in-the-Valley/Green-Initiatives/Recycling/ Compost/ BY THE NUMBERS: • 8 miles, round-trip, that compost travels in Pitco • 7,000 miles, average, that recycling travels from Pitco • 25 estimated number of years left to bury trash at our current rate • 60 percent, diversion of materials that could go in landfill out • 60 to 90 days to create new compost • $12 cost per cubic yard, of finished compost from Pitkin landfill • $0 cost of residential composting kit • $4.50 cost per week, for curbside compost collection by private haulers • $0 cost to DIY drop compost at the landfill
Living Lab workshops, held at the Pitkin County Landfill, touch on a variety of topics, from composting to highaltitude gardening and more.

IF YOU GO... “Dirt is something we take for granted, but soil really is the foundation of everything.” Johnson, for one, recognizes this. And his plans for the local landfill pay homage to the idea that the d-words — dirt, dump — have untapped potential. In addition to the Living Lab series, Johnson’s plans (all made possible with the help of “yes-sayer” and Pitkin County Solid Waste Center manager Cathy Hall) include the creation of a public meeting space and interactive area — all set atop a capped off portion of the landfill. “I can see this outdoor meeting space doing double-duty as a showcase for how a landfill can work, with raised garden beds, a mini-greenhouse, and so on — all made with repurposed materials.” And in a world filled with bureaucracy, Johnson also sees this endeavor as the perfect public/private partnership. “Isn’t this what government is supposed to do?” asks Johnson, a former Pitkin County commissioner. “It’s giving back to the community by using a community resource.” For Vardy, it’s just common sense: “The miracle of all of this is that we can just allow the world around us to do the work.”
GROW TOMATOES AT ALTITUDE May 17 Rick Kangas, Colorado Fresh Network, coloradofresh.net Kangas is a master gardener and land steward, instructor in food safety and a specialist in high altitude season extension and has his own greenhouse operation in Eagle County. He will lead a discussion and demonstration of his research, experience and success in growing tomatoes at this altitude. INVASIVE WEEDS-HOW TO RECOGNIZE AND CONTROL May 24 Shana Miller, Pitkin County Weed Advisory Board Miller will present her experience in identifying and controlling noxious weeds in this area and conduct a tour of the facility to identify noxious and invasive species on the site.
jmcgovern@aspentimes.com
Workshops are from 10 a.m. to noon at the Pitkin County Solid Waste Center. The landfill is located at mile marker 32 on Hwy. 82 between Aspen Village and Brush Creek Road. All workshops include Q&A. For more information, call 970-429-2880.
Says Jack Johnson, public outreach/education coordinator for the Pitkin County Solid Waste Center: “We can show how a landfill project, after capping, can contribute to a larger social need.”

Bullwinkle
Sweet Bullwinkle is a 3 yr old purebred German Shepherd. His current owners are working so much, they feel they can’t give him the life he deserves so asked us to help him find a new family/person to love him. She said “He is a well behaved boy and deserves so much better than we can give him”. Bull is good with people and other dogs of all sizes. Bull is a smart boy and although he hasn’t had formal training he does know the commands sit, down, stay and heel. He is not destructive when left alone and is house trained. What Bull really loves is to run and play especially fetch! He also loves going for walks and is good on a leash. He is a calm boy inside. Bull’s ears don’t stand up because his ‘brother’ Rocky, yanked them too much when they were puppies. But it only adds to his adorable looks! He is an awesome dog and whoever ends up making him part of their family is going to be extra lucky! Bull is already neutered, current on his vaccinations and microchipped. He does need eye drops put in every day for the rest of his life. If you are interested in this hunk please first fill out an application at www.luckydayrescue.org or call Sarah at 970-618-4108.

DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION NO. 2, COLORADO
(c.f.s.)
TO: ALL INTERESTED PARTIES Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are hereby notified that the following case is a portion of the resume of applications and amendments ordered published during the month of April 2014, in Water Division No. 2. The Water Judge ordered this case be published in The Aspen Times in Pitkin County, Colorado. The name(s) and address(es) of applicant(s), description of water rights or conditional water rights and description of ruling sought as reflected by said application, or amendment, are as follows. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CASE NO. 2014CW3022; Previous Case Nos. 84CW177; 01CW67 – BOARD OF WATER WORKS OF PUEBLO, COLORADO, Attn: Executive Director, 319 West Fourth Street, Pueblo, CO 81003; (719) 584-0221 (Attorneys for Applicant: William A. Paddock, Karl D. Ohlsen, Carlson, Hammond & Paddock, L.L.C., 1900 Grant Street, Suite 1200, Denver, Colorado 80203; Phone: (303) 861-9000) Application to Make Conditional Water Rights Absolute and for Sexennial Finding of Reasonable Diligence LAKE, CHAFFEE AND PUEBLO COUNTIES This is an Application for a Sexennial Finding of Reasonable Diligence involving certain exchange and reuse rights of the Board of Water Works of Pueblo, Colorado (the “Board” or the “Applicant”) originally decreed on February 24, 1988, in Case No. 84CW177, Water Division No. 2 and subsequently made absolute, in part, together with a finding of reasonable diligence, on April 8, 2008, in Case No. 01CW67, Water Division No. 2. The decree in Case No. 84CW177 adjudicated all issues and claims of use, reuse, and successive use by exchange of water derived from the Board’s Transmountain Sources (described in Paragraph III(D), below), and delivered to the Arkansas River or its tributaries from points of discharge (the “Sewered Return Flows”). The decree of February 24, 1988, in Case No. 84CW177 excluded all issues and claims of use, reuse and successive use by exchange of water derived from the Board’s Transmountain Sources that are delivered to the Arkansas River or its tributaries as diffuse return flows from the irrigation of lawns, gardens, parks, landscaping, and all other outside uses within the areas served by the Board (the “Non-Sewered Return Flows”). All issues and claims regarding exchange of the Board’s Non-Sewered Return Flows are the subject of the decree entered August 3, 1995, in Consolidated Case Nos. 84CW177(B) and 86CW111(B), and subsequent decrees. II. Name of Structures (Utilized for Exchange and Reuse): A. Discharge Facilities: 1. Pueblo Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Any other wastewater treatment facility outfall utilized by the Board, including any terminal storage facilities hereafter constructed and located to receive the Board’s wastewater facility effluent, that discharge to the Arkansas River or its tributaries at or above the confluence of the Arkansas River and the St. Charles River. Currently, the Board utilizes the C.F. & I Steel Plant wastewater treatment plant that discharges to the Arkansas River approximately one mile upstream of the Pueblo Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant discharge. 3. Comanche Power Plant. Comanche Power Plant discharges return flows to the St. Charles River at a point in the Northwest quarter of Section 28, Township 21 South, Range 64 West of the 6th Principal Meridian. B. Diversion Facilities: 1. Pueblo Reservoir. The point of diversion of Pueblo Reservoir is at a point at the intersection of the Pueblo Dam axis and the Arkansas River whence the Northeast corner of Section 36, Township 20 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., bears North 61̊21’20” East a distance of 2,511.05 feet. Said reservoir inundates all or portions of Sections 7, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36, Township 20 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M.; Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, and 11, Township 21 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M.; and Sections 5, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 22, 23, and 25, Township 20 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M. 2.

Turquoise Lake. Turquoise Lake is formed by a dam across Lake Fork Creek in Lake County in Section 19, Township 9 South, Range 80 West of the 6th Principal Meridian as described in the decree in Case No. 80CW6 (District Court, Water Division No. 2), dated October 23, 1980. Maps of the described facilities are attached to this Application. (All exhibits mentioned herein are incorporated by reference and may be inspected at the office of the clerk of this Court.) III. Describe Conditional Exchange and Reuse Water Rights as decreed in Case No. 84CW177 and subsequent diligence proceedings: A. Decrees: 1.

Source of Water for Exchange and Reuse: The water rights that are to be utilized in the exchange and reuse program described herein are return flows derived from sources of supply that are not native or tributary to the Arkansas River. Said waters include return flows occurring after use in the Board’s municipal water system and return flows from other water users supplied by the Board, derived from the Board’s ownership interests in the following sources of supply: 1. The Ewing Placer Ditch. Ewing Placer Ditch diverts water from Piney Creek a tributary of the Eagle River, and carries the water across the Continental Divide into Tennessee Creek for delivery to the Arkansas River. The Ewing Placer Ditch was decreed on November 13, 1911, with appropriation date of June 1, 1906, by the District Court, Eagle County, Civil Action No. 507. 2. The Columbine Ditch. Columbine Ditch diverts water from three branches of the East Fork of the Eagle River, and carries such water across the Continental Divide for delivery into the West Branch of Chalk Creek, a tributary of the Arkansas River. The Columbine Ditch was decreed on October 3, 1936, with an appropriation date of June 21, 1930, by the District Court, Eagle County, Civil Action No. 963. The Board controls the right to utilize a portion of the waters described herein by virtue of an agreement with the owner. 3. The Warren E. Wurtz Ditch (also known as the Warren E. Wurts Ditch). Warren E. Wurtz Ditch diverts water from Bennett Creek, Mitchell Creek, and side tributaries of those creeks, all of which are tributaries of the Eagle River. The ditch carries water across the Continental Divide into West Tennessee Creek for delivery to the Arkansas River. The Warren E. Wurtz Ditch was decreed on October 3, 1936, with an appropriation date of June 8, 1929, by the District Court, Eagle County, Civil Action No. 963. 4. The Wurtz Extension Ditch. Wurtz Extension Ditch diverts water from Yoder Creek, East Fork of Yoder Creek, and Rule Creek, tributaries of the Eagle River. The ditch connects to the Warren E. Wurtz Ditch, which then carries water across the Continental Divide into West Tennessee Creek for delivery to the Arkansas River. The Wurtz Extension Ditch was decreed on October 21, 1982, with an appropriation date of October 26, 1953, by the District Court, Water Division No. 5, Case No. 80CW505. 5. The Busk-Ivanhoe System. BuskIvanhoe System diverts water from Hidden Lake Creek, Pan Creek, Lyle Creek, and Ivanhoe Creek, all tributaries of the Frying Pan and Roaring Fork Rivers, and carries such water through the Continental Divide for delivery into Busk Creek on the headwaters of the Arkansas River. The System was decreed by absolute decree of the District Court, Garfield County, in Case No. 2621 dated January 9, 1928, with appropriation dates differing for various components of the system as more fully set forth in the referenced decree. Other absolute decrees were entered in Civil Actions No. 3082 and 4033. The decrees were entered by the District Court, Garfield County. The Board owns an undivided one-half interest in these water rights. 6. The Homestake Project diverts water from the headwaters of tributaries of the Eagle River in Eagle County. The water rights were conditionally adjudicated by the decree in Civil Action No. 1193 (District Court, Eagle County) dated June 8, 1962. These water rights have an appropriation date of September 22, 1952. By an assignment of interest from the City of Aurora, the Board has the annual right to receive 2500 acre-feet of Homestake Project Water delivered at Turquoise Lake. 7. The Independence Pass Transmountain Diversion System diverts water from the headwaters of the Roaring Fork River and its tributaries in Pitkin County. The water rights were adjudicated by a decree in Civil Action No. 3082 (District Court, Garfield County) dated August 25, 1936, and were modified by a decree in Case No. W-1901 (District Court, Water Division No. 5), dated May 12, 1976. These water rights have an appropriation date of August 23, 1930. The Board has the right to utilize a portion of such waters and the return flows therefrom by virtue of its ownership of shares of the Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal Company. 8. The Fryingpan-Arkansas Project diverts water from the headwaters of Hunter Creek and the Fryingpan River and its tributaries in Pitkin County. The water rights were adjudicated by the decrees in Civil Action No. 4613 (District Court, Garfield County) dated June 20, 1958, and August 3, 1959, and were modified by the decree in Case No. W-829-76 (District Court, Water Division No. 5) dated November 27, 1979. These water rights have an appropriation date of July 29, 1957. By this Application, the Board does not seek any rights of use of Fryingpan-Arkansas Project structures, or any rights of ownership or rights to purchase or receive allocation of Fryingpan-Arkansas Project water or return flows from Fryingpan-Arkansas Project water, but this does not alter any existing rights the Board may otherwise have. Return flows from the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project will be utilized for exchanges and reuse only after they are purchased from the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District. All of the sources of supply described in Paragraph No. III(D) are waters not native and not naturally tributary to the Arkansas River Basin and are referred to as “the Transmountain Sources.” All of the Transmountain Sources have been decreed to include municipal purposes. E. Location and Amounts of Decreed Exchange Reaches: The return flows resulting from use of the water derived from the Transmountain Sources are accounted for and measured through appropriate measuring devices into the Arkansas River or its tributaries from the Discharge Facilities identified in Paragraph II(A) and then are exchanged upstream to storage in the Diversion Facilities identified in Paragraph II(B). In addition, the return flows stored by exchange in the Diversion Facilities identified in Paragraph II(B) can be exchanged into storage in a different Diversion Facility identified in Paragraph II(B). The stream reaches and the currently-decreed absolute and conditional amounts of the exchanges are as follows: 1. For the Arkansas River and its tributaries from the point of discharge of Wastewater Treatment Facilities utilized by the Board, upstream to the following Diversion Facilities: Absolute Conditional Total (c.f.s.)

Provide a Detailed Outline of What Has Been Done Toward Completion or for Completion of the Appropriation and Application of Water to Beneficial Use as Conditionally Decreed, Including Expenditures: The Applicant operates a unified and integrated municipal water supply system consisting of numerous individual components. Those components include, but are not limited to, the many individual water rights, sources of supply and points of diversion described in this Application, and the absolute and conditional exchange and reuse rights that are the subject of this Application. During the period from July 31, 2001 (the date the Application in Case No. 01CW67 was filed), through April 30, 2014 (the “Diligence Period”), the Board carried out exchanges as contemplated and authorized by the decree in Case No. 84CW177. In addition, the Board spent substantial sums of money and devoted many thousands of man hours to the operation, maintenance, and development of its unified and integrated municipal water supply and treatment system. As a part of this overall effort, the Board found it necessary to retain engineering consultants and attorneys to assist it in the acquisition, operation, maintenance, and protection of this system. During the Diligence Period, the total costs for all of these efforts exceeded $259,000,000.00. A. The principal activities undertaken by the Board during the Diligence Period related to the operation of the exchange rights decreed in Case No. 84CW177 included the following: (1) refinement and operation of accounting programs to track the operation of the exchanges; (2) water quality monitoring; (3) exercise and operation of the exchanges decreed herein; (4) replaced the Parshall flume on the Comanche Power Plant discharge; and (5) installed recording and telemetry equipment on the Comanche Power Plant discharge flume so that continuous flow measurement data is available on the Colorado Satellite-Linked Water Resources Monitoring System. B. During the Diligence Period, the Board performed the following actions related to the diversion and storage facilities utilized for the exchanges decreed in Case No. 84CW177: (1) for Clear Creek Reservoir, the Board replaced outlet gates, replaced water level sensors, built up the emergency spillway to create more freeboard, replaced the measuring weir at the outlet, hired a consultant to perform a dam breach analysis and resulting flood inundation maps, and performed routine maintenance, operation and monitoring. The Board also filed an application for the enlargement of the reservoir; (2) for Twin Lakes Reservoir, the Board paid annual assessments to the Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal Company; (3) for Turquoise Lake, the Board made annual payments to the United States Bureau of Reclamation for its storage contract; and (4) for Pueblo Reservoir, the Board made annual payments to the United States Bureau of Reclamation for its storage contract. C. During the Diligence Period, the Board performed the following actions related to the sources of water utilized in the exchange: (1) For the Ewing Ditch, the Board repaired the concrete drop structures and performed routine maintenance, operation and monitoring; (2) for the Columbine Ditch, the Board sold Columbine Ditch to the Fremont Pass Ditch Company, but retained the right to receive water from the ditch under specific circumstances; (3) for the Warren E. Wurtz Ditch, the Board performed routine maintenance, operation and monitoring; (4) for the Wurtz Extension Ditch, the Board performed routine maintenance, operation and monitoring, and adjudicated a decree finding of reasonable diligence in Case No. 13CW3042 (Div. 5); (5) for the Busk-Ivanhoe System, the Board placed a geo-textile liner on the upstream face of Ivanhoe Dam, constructed new housing for caretakers and a new maintenance shop at Lake Ivanhoe, replaced the measuring flume at the east portal of Ivanhoe Tunnel, hired consultants to design a repair to the Ivanhoe Dam outlet works and other improvements to comply with modern dam safety requirements, pre-qualified contractors to make the repairs to the Ivanhoe Dam, began the permitting process for dam repair in anticipation of completing the repairs in 2014, and performed routine maintenance, operation and monitoring; (6) for the Homestake Project, the Board made annual payments to City of Aurora pursuant to the 1967 Agreement; (7) for the Independence Pass Transmountain Diversion System, the Board paid annual assessments to the Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal Company; and (8) for the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project, the Board purchased Project water and return flow from Project water. D. During the Diligence Period, the Board implemented major improvements to its water supply transmission, treatment, and distribution systems necessary to supply customers with water within its water service area. This work included the extension of water service mains and construction of an elevated water storage tank to serve the St. Charles Industrial Park and extension of service mains and construction of a pump station to serve Black Hills Energy’s new natural gas-fired power plant (Pueblo Airport Generating Station). The Board continued its practice of making improvements related to collection system facilities, storage reservoirs, water transmission pipelines, water treatment plants and distribution system mains, meters, and reservoirs. The water delivered through these systems includes the water made available to the Board by the exchange rights that are the subject of this Application. The Board also continued its long-standing partnership with the Pueblo Economic Development Corporation to attract new business and industry to the City of Pueblo and the Board’s service area. E. During the Diligence Period, the Board filed applications for and completed a number of adjudications of water rights that are part of the Board’s unified and integrated water supply system. This includes, but is not limited to: (1) obtaining a finding of reasonable diligence in Case No. 10CW79 (formerly Cases No. 93CW86 and 04CW14) (HARP), Water Division No. 2; (2) obtaining a decree finding that all remaining conditional water rights and uses had been made absolute in Case No. 06CW109 (formerly Cases No. W-76 and 00CW29) (Hobson Ditch), Water Division No. 2; (3) obtaining a finding of reasonable diligence in the non-sewered portion of the exchange and reuse plans in Cases No. 13CW30043 and 01CW80 (formerly Consolidated Cases No. 84CW177(B) and 86CW111(B)), Water Division No. 2; (4) obtaining a finding of reasonable diligence in the sewered portion of the exchange and reuse plans in Case No. 12CW87 (formerly Cases No. 05CW87 and 86CW111A), Water Division No. 2; (5) prosecuting an application for enlargement of Clear Creek Reservoir in Case No. 04CW130, Water Division No. 2; (6) obtaining a finding of reasonable diligence in Case No. 01CW67 (formerly Case No. 84CW177), Water Division No. 2; (7) obtaining approval of a plan for augmentation in Case No. 11CW57, Water Division No. 2; (8) obtaining a finding of reasonable diligence for the Wurtz Extension Ditch in Case No. 13CW3042, Water Division No. 5; (9) filing an application for a change of water rights in Case No. 12CW102, Water Division No. 2; (10) obtaining a finding of reasonable diligence and making conditional rights absolute, in part, in Cases No. 13CW30044 and 01CW68 (formerly Case No. 84CW178), Water Division No. 2; and prosecuting an application in Case No. 06CW120, Water Division No. 2. The Board also has acted to preserve and protect all of its water rights by filing statements of opposition to and participating in a number of other judicial proceedings in Water Division 2 and Water Division No. 5. F. During the Diligence Period, the Board completed the purchase of 5,540.88 shares of Bessemer Irrigating Ditch Company, which water rights the Board intends to include in the Board’s unified and integrated water supply system. G. The measure of reasonable diligence is the steady application of effort to complete the appropriation in a reasonably expedient and efficient manner under all the facts and circumstances. § 37-92-301(4), C.R.S. A determination of reasonable diligence is made on a case-by-case basis in light of the facts and circumstances presented. Municipal Subdistrict, Northern Colorado Water Conservancy Dist. v. Oxy, USA, Inc., 990 P.2d 701, 706 (Colo. 1999). H. The work performed and actions taken by the Board during the Diligence Period demonstrate that the Board has acted with reasonable diligence and has met all applicable legal standards during the Diligence Period in the development of the remaining conditional portion of the subject water rights. The Board has demonstrated that the subject water can be and will be diverted, stored, or otherwise captured, possessed, and controlled and will be beneficially used and that the project can and will be completed with diligence and within a reasonable time. The Board is entitled to a finding of reasonable diligence and to maintenance of the remaining conditionally-decreed amounts listed in paragraph III.E., above. WHEREFORE, the Board requests the Court to enter a decree: 1. Confirming that the Board maintains a single unified and integrated water system and that diligence on any feature of that system shall be considered in finding reasonable diligence in the development of all conditional features of the system, including the conditional exchange and reuse rights that are the subject of this Application; and 3. Finding that the Board has exercised reasonable diligence and met all applicable standards on all the conditional exchange and reuse rights originally decreed in Case No. 84CW177, to the extent not made absolute, continuing those conditional rights in good standing, and fixing a date when a further application for a finding of reasonable diligence is required. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------THE WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED BY THE FOREGOING APPLICATION MAY AFFECT IN PRIORITY ANY WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED OR HERETOFORE ADJUDICATED WITHIN THIS DIVISION AND OWNERS OF AFFECTED RIGHTS MUST APPEAR TO OBJECT AND PROTEST WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY STATUTE, OR BE FOREVER BARRED.

DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION NO. 2, COLORADO TO: ALL INTERESTED PARTIES Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are hereby notified that the following case is a portion of the resume of applications and amendments ordered published during the month of April 2014, in Water Division No. 2. The Water Judge ordered this case be published in The Aspen Times in Pitkin County, Colorado. The name(s) and address(es) of applicant(s), description of water rights or conditional water rights and description of ruling sought as reflected by said application, or amendment, are as follows. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CASE NO. 1998CW173 – BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF LAKE COUNTY, P. O. Box 964, 505 Harrison Avenue, Leadville, CO 80461 (Please direct all communications concerning this matter to Applicant’s attorneys: David C. Hallford and Chad J. Lee, Balcomb & Green, P.C., P. O. Drawer 790, Glenwood Springs, CO 81602; (970) 945-6546) Second Amended Application for Changes of Water Rights, Approval of Plan for Augmentation, and Confirmation of Appropriative Rights of Exchange. LAKE COUNTY Purpose: Ct. approval of changes of water rights water rights and approval of an umbrella plan for aug., including appropriative rights of exchange (the “Plan for Aug.” or “Water Supply Plan”). The geographic scope of the Water Supply Plan is a defined area within Lake Cty. denominated as “Area A,” which includes those areas located near the Arkansas River, or its tributaries, where use of the Cty.’s water rights and supplies for aug. is sufficient to offset the out-of-priority depletions of the Cty.’s Contractees. The Area A region consists of five general sub-areas described as Areas A-1 through A-5. Each sub-area has unique aug. and exchange potential. Sub-Areas A-1 through A-5 are depicted on Exhibit A to the Second Amended Application. (All exhibits mentioned herein are incorporated by reference and may be inspected at the office of the clerk of this Court.) The purpose is to establish a framework within which water users who meet certain criteria and who enter into water supply contracts with Lake Cty. can be included directly into the Plan for Aug. and utilize Lake Cty. owned or controlled water rights and supplies to replace out-of-priority stream depletions from diversions by future and existing wells, springs, surface diversions, and storage ponds. Several sources of replacement water are contained in this Application. The original application, filed on 12/31/1998 requested Ct. approval of changes of water rights and an umbrella aug. plan to replace depletions from certain existing and future wells, springs, surface water diversions, and water storage structures within the boundaries of Lake Cty. Lake Cty. filed an Amended Application on 1/31/2012. This Second Amended Application is filed to: 1) incorporate more recently acquired aug. sources; 2) include a new point of diversion and a changed place of use for the Derry Ditch No. 3; and 3) withdraw the change of the Derry Ditch No. 2 water right. This Second Amended Application is intended to supersede and replace the Application filed on 12/31/1998 and the Amended Application filed on 1/31/2012 except that the claims made in this Second Amended Application shall relate back to the original Application. Changes of Water rights. Changes of Derry Ditch No. 3: Original Decree: 7/12/1904, Case No. 1857, Dist. Ct. of Chaffee Cty. Decreed Point of Diversion: The headgate is located on the left bank of the N. Fork of Cozart Creek at a point whence the N.E. comer of Sec. 5, T. 11 S., R. 80 W., of the 6th P.M., bears N. 66 deg. 36’ 20” E., 17,055 ft. The N. Fork of Cozart Creek is within Bartlett Gulch, tributary to Lake Creek, tributary to the Arkansas River. Source: Cozart Creek, a tributary of the Arkansas River. Appropriation Date: 6/21/1884. Total Amt. Decreed to Structure: 4.0 cfs absolute. Decreed Use: Irrigation. Amt. of Water Applicant Intends to Change: 2.0 cfs. Historical Use: Historically irrigated approximately 85 acres of pasture grass within the NW 1/4 of Sec. 4 and the NE 1/4, the SE 1/4, and the SW 1/4 of Sec. 5, T. 11 S., R. 80 W., of the 6th P.M. A map showing the irrigated areas and the diversion locations is attached to the Second Amended Application as Exhibit B. A summary of historical diversions is attached to the Second Amended Application as Exhibit C. Average annual historical diversions total approximately 254 AF per year of which 127 AF are attributed to Lake Cty.’s 2 cfs (50%) ownership. Changes in Point of Diversion: Derry Ditch No. 3 Aug. Station: Applicant requests a change in the point of diversion to the aug. station located within the NW1/4 SE1/4 of Sec. 12, T. 11 S., R. 81 W., of the 6th P.M. at a point 2,085 ft. from the S. Sec. line and 2,548 ft. from the W. Sec. line of said Sec. 12, depicted on Exhibit D to the Second Amended Application. Golf Course Surface Diversion: Applicant also requests approval of a new point of diversion at the DeLappe Ditch to supply the Mount Massive Golf Course: That ditch diverts on the W. bank of the Arkansas River at a point whence the NW corner of Sec. 29, T. 9 S., R. 80 W., 6th P.M. bears 54 deg. 2’ W. 6,975 ft., as depicted on Exhibit E to the Second Amended Application. Change in Type of Use: Applicant requests a change in the type of use for the Derry Ditch No. 3 to domestic, municipal, irrigation, creation and maintenance of wetlands, commercial, industrial, aesthetic, snowmaking, recreation, livestock watering, piscatorial, fire protection, and aug. either directly or through storage, including by exchange, in accordance with the Plan for Aug. Change in Method of Use: Applicant requests a change in the method of use from direct flow to direct flow, use directly for aug. credits, or for storage of the historical consumptive use credits in one or more of reservoirs within Lake Cty., including the Hayden Meadows Recreation Pond, Box Creek Reservoir, and Birdseye Gulch Reservoir in accordance with the Plan for Aug. Change in Location of Use: Applicant requests a change in the location of use to irrigate approximately 22.5 acres at the Mount Massive Golf Course is located in the NW 1/4 of Sec. 29, T. 9 S., R. 80 W., 6th P.M., as depicted on Exhibit E to the Second Amended Application. Net Stream Depletion: Net stream depletions presented in the table below indicate that river credits exist from May through September and river debits or replacement obligations exist in October through March. Net stream depletions equal the actual consumptive use, but over a different distribution due to the effect of lagged return flows. River credits total 40.8 AF and river debits total 9.1 AF.

Lake Cty. requests to develop a regional or “umbrella” aug. plan to replace out-of-priority depletions. This Plan will establish a framework within which new water users that meet certain criteria can be included directly into this Plan for Aug. The total amt. of aug. water immediately available upon issuance of a final decree will be 71.7 AF based on the Cty.’s claims. The Cty. also seeks the right to add new sources of aug. supply in the future as provided by law. The total cumulative rate of all river exchanges necessary to support the Plan is 5.5 cfs. Aug. Areas. The Cty. requests a Plan for Aug. to augment out-ofpriority diversions by the Cty. and/or its Contractees as necessary within the Cty.’s “Area A shown on Exhibit A to the Second Amended Application.” Area A. Area A encompasses those regions that are located near the Arkansas River or on tributary creeks where use of the Cty.’s water rights or supplies for aug. can offset the out-of-priority depletions of its and its Contractees’ water use under this Plan for Aug. Thus, within “Area A” there are no calling water rights located between the proposed diversions and the Arkansas River or relevant tributaries that cannot be augmented with supplies available to Lake Cty. The Cty. has identified five aug. Sub-Areas, Areas A-1 through A-5. A map depicting Area A and the Sub Areas is attached to the Second Amended Application as Exhibit A. Sub-Areas. Each Sub-Area contains a portion or tributaries of the Arkansas River in which the Cty. will provide service in a different manner. Generally, Area A-1 includes the Arkansas River below its confluence with Tennessee Creek; Area A-2 includes Lake Creek above Twin Lakes; Area A-3 includes portions of Turquoise Lake and Lake Fork basin; Area A-4 includes a portion of Tennessee Creek; and Area A-5 includes a portion of the E. Fork of Arkansas River. Depletions originating within Area A-1 can be augmented by exchange with existing Lake Cty. replacement supplies (Derry Ditch No. 3 and Div. 5 COA Sources). Other aug. areas—Areas A-2 through A-5—have limits on exchange potential and require the development of upstream storage supplies and/or contract exchanges to develop year-around aug. capability. The legal description of all land located within each Sub-Area is Exhibit F to the Second Amended Application. Area A-1 – Arkansas River Below the Confluence of the E. Fork of the Arkansas and Tennessee Creek: Area A-1 includes structures that will divert water from within that portion of Area A encompassing all areas tributary to the Arkansas River and its tributaries in a stream reach extending from a downstream terminus at the point where the Arkansas River crosses from Lake Cty. into Chaffee Cty. to and upstream terminus, the confluence of the E. Fork of the Arkansas River and Tennessee Creek, a distance of approximately 15 miles. The downstream terminus, the southern boundary of Lake Cty. is located in the SW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Sec. 30, T. 11 S., R. 79 W. of the 6th P.M. The upstream terminus, the confluence of the E. Fork of the Arkansas River and Tennessee Creek is located within Lake Cty. in the SW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Sec. 16, T. 9 S., R. 80 W. of the 6th P.M.

Box Creek Reservoir. Lake Cty. may store aug. water in Box Creek Reservoir, or its forebay, once constructed for later release to augment out-of-priority depletions. Water will be stored in Box Creek Reservoir, or its forebay, under various alternatives including: by storage exchange using Cty. Div. 5 COA Sources, or as consumptive use credits from another water right owned or acquired by Lake Cty. such as the Derry Ditch No. 3. Such storage supply may be released to augment out of priority depletions of Lake Cty.’s contractees. Box Creek Reservoir is proposed to be constructed on Box Creek, tributary to the Arkansas River, located in portions of Secs. 32 and 33, T. 10 S., R. 80 W., and Secs. 4 and 5, T. 11 S., R. 80 W., of the 6th P.M. Contemplated Contract Exchanges. Contract exchanges are those trades of water supplies enabled by existing or contemplated agreements with the Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Aurora, or other parties, by which Applicant may trade supplies available from owners. Pursuant to the “character of exchange” rule, the County will assume the characteristics of the traded water and vice versa. A contract exchange would enable the Applicant to release water from the locations described on Exhibit A to the Second Amended Application for direct use to augment out-of-priority depletions or for storage in any structure owned or controlled by the Cty., including the Hayden Meadows Recreation Pond and/or the Birdseye Gulch Reservoir, for subsequent release to augment out of priority depletions by Lake Cty.’s Contractees in accordance with the Plan for Aug. while providing replacement water at or above the calling water right. Possible contract exchange sources include, but are not limited to: (1) Turquoise Reservoir; (2) Twin Lakes Tunnel No. 1; (3) Wurtz Ditch; (4) Ewing Ditch; and (5) Columbine Ditch. The points of release for these structures into Water Div. 2 are shown on Exhibit A to the Second Amended Application. Future Acquisitions. The Cty. will also utilize other water rights it owns, leases, or acquires in the future for aug. so long as such sources are decreed or otherwise legally available for such use. See C.R.S. § 37-92-305(8)(c). Operation of Plan for Aug. Lake Cty. requests approval of a plan for aug. to augment out-of-priority depletions from the Augmented Structures utilizing the Aug. Sources described above when it or its Contractees divert within Areas A-1 through A-5, depicted in Exhibit A to the Second Amended Application. Replacement Releases. During periods in which an administrative call is placed on the Arkansas River or any of its tributaries within Area A, calculated out-of-priority depletions will be replaced using the Aug. Sources described above. Lake Cty. may utilize any of the Aug. Sources or any combination provided the source is suitable for replacement given the timing, amts., and locations of the out-of-priority stream depletions. Lake Cty. will account for the diversions and depletions under the Augmented Structures to the Div. of Water Resources. Lake Cty. will ensure that the total out-of-priority depletions will not exceed the replacement water available to Lake Cty. The substituted water will be of a quantity and quality so as to meet the requirements for which the water diverted by senior appropriators has normally been used. Inclusion of Augmented Structures. Water users within Area A may apply to Lake Cty. detailing the location, type, amt., and use of the diverted water and other contracting requirements. The Cty. will calculate anticipated diversions, depletions, return flows and lagged depletions pursuant to methods described below. If there is sufficient unallocated aug. water available, the Cty. will forward the application and water use calculations to the Div. Engineer for review and approval. If the Div. Engineer does not object within thirty days of receipt of the application material, Lake Cty. may, in its discretion, include the structure in the Plan for Aug. Depletions Calculations. The depletions associated with the Augmented Structures will be determined based on assumptions, methods, and calculations commonly used and accepted in the water resource engineering profession in Colorado including, without limitation, based upon a schedule of consumptive use to be established applicable to each category of use based upon estimated usage and return flows or as determined by specific engineering analysis. A summary of the engineering assumptions are outlined below: Domestic In-House Use Diversions and Depletions: Diversions associated with domestic in-house are calculated according to the following schedule: Single family home = 3.5 persons using 100 GPCD (gallons/capita/day) = 350 gallons per day = 1 Equivalent Residential Unit (EQR); Apartments = 0.75/EQR unit; Mobile Homes = 0.75/EQR unit. A substantial portion of in-house diversions will return to the stream system following wastewater treatment. The consumptive use, expressed as a percent of diversions, is assumed to be as follows: Central treatment system = 5.0 percent; Septic tank/leachfield system = 10.0 percent; Evaporative system = 100.0 percent. Commercial Use: Commercial uses are to be calculated on a case-bycase basis using specific water use data, when available. If specific water use data is not available, EQR ratings based on the type and size of commercial facility will be used. Some examples of commercial EQR ratings are included below: Office = 0.60 EQR/1,000 S.F.; Warehouse = 0.30 EQR/1,000 S.F.; Retail Sales = 0.60 EQR/1,000 S.F. Irrigation Use: Evapotranspiration Calculation Inputs - Climatic Data: While methods for calculating evapotranspiration vary, each method requires that the user input site-specific temperature and precipitation data. In order to provide a standardized methodology that will provide site-specific data for calculating evapotranspiration, each irrigation contract will rely on data collected from the closest reliable weather station (at this time these stations include: Twin Lakes Reservoir, Sugarloaf Reservoir, Leadville Lake, and Climax). Evapotranspiration Calculation Methodology: The generally accepted methodology of calculating evapotranspiration varies by crop type. The Modified Blaney Criddle Method, as outlined by the Soil Conservation Service in Technical Release No. 21 (“TR 21”), or other methodology accepted by the Div. Engineer, will be used in calculating bluegrass consumptive use for proposed contracts. The consumptive use coefficients and altitude correction factors are taken from the Pochop, Borrelli and Burman Paper titled “Elevation – A Bias Error in SCS Blaney Criddle Estimates” (ASAE, 1984). Bluegrass will be assumed to start growing, and requiring irrigation, when mean daily temperatures exceed 45° Fahrenheit. Average monthly precipitation and temperature for the land proposed for irrigation will be evaluated at the nearest weather station and adjusted for elevation. The DWR’s recommended methodology for calculating consumptive use for pasture grass and alfalfa relies on procedures outlined in TR 21. The DWR also recommends modifying the TR 21 calculations using a crop’s elevation based on ASCE Manual and Report No. 70 (1990). Consumptive use will be calculated using these methods in combination with local climatic data. Diversion Rate: Once the crop and/or lawn consumptive use is determined, total diversion requirements will be calculated based upon expected application rates for the different irrigation methods. The application rate for sprinkler irrigation assumed to be 1.25 times the C.U. rate (80% efficient) and the application rate for flood irrigation is assumed to be 3.33 times the C.U. rate (30% efficient). Surface Evaporation. Annual surface evaporation will be calculated according to the following methodology. Gross annual evaporation will be calculated using NOAA Technical Report NWS 33, Evaporation for the Contiguous 48 United States, using the isopleths of annual shallow lake evaporation for Colorado. The gross annual evaporation will be distributed on a monthly basis according to the General Guidelines for Substitute Water Supply Plans for Sand and Gravel Pits. Evaporation is assumed to occur only when the average daily temperature is greater than 32° Fahrenheit. Thus, monthly evaporation will be modified according to average monthly temperatures at local weather. The potential for adjusting gross evaporation for effective precipitation will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If effective precipitation can be considered, it will be based on average monthly precipitation calculated using these local weather stations. Livestock Water Use. Livestock requires approximately 9 gallons of water per day per head and is considered 100 percent consumptive. Delayed Depletions: The Dist. will account for delayed depletions with respect to any wells that will be authorized for diversion under the Plan
for Aug. Stream depletions resulting from well pumping are both lagged and attenuated based on a well’s distance from the stream and the aquifer characteristics. Delayed depletion factors have been developed using the Glover well pumping depletion model for alluvial and bedrock aquifers. Alluvial aquifers are classified as either “Tributary” or “Main Stem” based on the average distance from the stream to the alluvial boundary. “Main Stem” aquifers include the Arkansas River, the E. Fork of the Arkansas River and Tennessee Creek. All other streams within Area A are considered “Tributary.” The factors are described as follows: Band T1: Tributary, 100 to 500 ft. from the stream, Band T2: Tributary, greater than 500 ft. from the stream, Band MS1 Main Stem, 100 to 500 ft. from the stream, Band MS2 Main Stem, 501 to 1000 ft. from the stream, Band MS3 Main Stem, 1001 to 2000 ft. from the stream, Band MS4 Main Stem, 2001 to 3000 ft. from the stream, Band MS5 Main Stem, greater than 3001 ft. from the stream, and Band B1, Bedrock, all bedrock well completions. For wells located within 100 ft. of a stream the depletions are assumed to occur with the same monthly distribution pattern as the pumping. To determine appropriate stream depletion factors for each of the eight bands, a series of Glover analyses were conducted. Wells in both alluvial aquifers and bedrock aquifers were analyzed. Table 1: Monthly Lagged Stream Depletion Factors For Alluvial and Bedrock Wells T1 T2 MS1 MS2 MS3 MS4 MS5 B1 Month 100-500 ft >500 ft 100-500 ft 501-1000 ft 1001-2000 ft 2001- 3000 ft >3000 ft all 1 53 32 59 33 10 5 7 7 2 34 46 21 28 23 14 7 18 3 10 16 6 11 16 17 9 15 4 3 4 3 7 11 13 9 11 5 1 3 5 9 11 9 9 6 1 2 4 7 9 9 8 7 2 3 6 8 9 7 8 1 3 5 6 9 6 9 1 2 4 5 8 5 10 1 2 3 5 8 5 11 1 2 3 4 8 5 12 3 3 8 4 Total 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 The depletion factors are to apply to both well pumping and return flows. Non-Delayed Depletions: Diversions from springs or surface diversions from creeks or rivers or diversions from alluvial aquifers within 100 ft. of the stream are assumed to have no delayed depletion impact. Transit Losses. If replacement is to be made by releases from the Aug. Structures, Applicant shall calculate the transit losses at the time of such releases and shall provide for the release of additional amts. of water to account for such transit losses. Applicant will use the most recent transit loss calculations accepted and used by the Div. Engineer for the specific reach of the stream and estimated distances from the various release structures. Depletion and Replacement: Applicant shall project future depletions and aug. supplies and provide the same to the Div. Engineer. appropriative rights of exChange. Lake Cty. seeks confirmation of appropriative rights of exchange to the extent that any aug. replacement is introduced to the river system at a location downstream of the depletions to be augmented. The Cty. has identified five exchange regions as Areas A-1 through A-5. Each Sub-Area has a unique exchange potential and, with the exception of Area A-1, will involve the development of upstream storage supplies and/or Contract Exchanges in order to fully develop and implement the proposed exchanges. Area A-1 as described below and shown graphically in Exhibit A to the Second Amended Application, represents that area within the Cty. that can be fully augmented by exchange using the Cty.’s available aug. sources including its Div. 5 COA Sources and consumptive use credits associated with the Derry Ditch No. 3. The Cty. may implement two types of exchanges: storage exchanges and river exchanges: Storage Exchanges. Storage Exchanges are those exchanges of water whereby Lake Cty. stores available water by exchange in upstream storage facilities for subsequent release to augment out-of-priority depletions while providing sufficient replacement water at or above the calling water right. River Exchanges. River exchanges will provide aug. supply by exchange within Area A in amts. necessary to replace depletions attributed to Cty. Contractees located at various upstream locations.

BOOK REVIEW
‘YELLOWSTONE HAS TEETH’ CINDY MERNIN PUTS it bluntly: “Paradise isn’t for sissies!” she says, recalling the 14 years she spent as a ranger’s wife at Yellowstone National Park. In particular, as she tells author Marjane Ambler, the winters weren’t for sissies. The couple had moved there in the early 1970s, before the roads to Lake Village, Wyo., were groomed during winter. Mernin, who grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore, learned to fix Ski-Doos and survive “brutal” winters in the park with a handful of rangers, workers and their families, who had to fend for themselves from fall through spring. But it wasn’t easy. “I wasn’t chained down,” she told Ambler. “But at the same time, I was just as confined.” Ambler herself spent nine winters at Lake Village when the park hired her husband, Terry Wehrman, as a snow groomer in 1984. (If Ambler’s name seems familiar, it’s because she worked

NOTEWORTHY as an editor at High Country News from 1974 to 1980, when HCN was based in Lander, Wyo..) In her memoir, “Yellowstone Has Teeth,” Ambler doesn’t romanticize the isolation of Yellowstone’s backcountry in winter. At that time, Lake’s winter population consisted of 12 employees and their spouses. With travel by snowmobile the only way in or out of the village — on a route that required crossing avalanche-prone Sylvan Pass — there was plenty of “forced togetherness” and little privacy. The friendships forged in such intimate and interdependent conditions, however, have survived for decades. Ambler, the kind of third-generation Colorado native who was always handier with a chainsaw than a curling iron, finds herself content on the “fringe of civilization.” And unlike the folks she interviews who wintered in the

park during earlier decades — before electricity or Ski-Doos — she and Terry had a full-sized refrigerator. With the help of an antenna and booster, they could even listen to NPR. As much as anything, “Yellowstone Has Teeth” is a story of beauty — of solo ski treks beneath crystalline skies and the “deep moan” of lake ice freezing. Ambler has consciously penned an ode to those Yellowstone winters now passed. But between the lines, she also shares a love story — of a husband and wife who weathered adventures together and built a life based not only on affection, but also on real trust.
