THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

DANCE CHOREOGRAPHER Fernando Melo’s latest creation makes its world premiere Saturday, July 8, with Aspen Santa Fe Ballet at the Aspen District Theatre.

Melo, the inventive and adventurous young mind behind the astounding Aspen Santa Fe piece “Re:Play” — which premiered in February 2016 — has crafted a new ballet where dancers do not stand on their own two feet. They perform on the ground, filmed from above, with the fantastic scenes they create projected live onto a movie screen.

“I’m interested in a broader definition or a different approach to choreography than the conventional one,” Melo, 36, told The Aspen Times during rehearsals.

The Brazil-born, Switzerland-based choreographer wants to shift the audience’s perspective and challenge the expectations of contemporary dance.

His “Re:Play” did this by combining stop-motion and strobe lighting, creating an eerie beauty and a work that became a global hit on tour for Aspen Santa Fe. Melo’s new work will be presented along with Alejandro Cerrudo’s “Little mortal jump” and Cherice Barton’s “Eudaemonia.”

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet will present an encore of the presentation on July 20 and Aug. 18.

Tickets to the world premiere are $36 to $94, available at the Wheeler Opera House box office and www.aspenshowtix.com.

Pick up the July 7 Weekend section of The Aspen Times for a look inside Melo’s creative process at Aspen Santa Fe Ballet.

Choreographer Fernando Melo’s “Dream Play” premieres with the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet on Saturday, July 8. It’s his second piece for Aspen, following “Re:Play” (pictured).

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan will speak at the Aspen Institute’s Greenwald Pavilion on Monday, July 10.

BACK AT THE R ANCH

1910 ASPEN

ON NOV. 17, 1908, the Aspen Daily News reported on ranching activities at the Williams Ranch near Snowmass, stating “Sunday a number of men from Aspen went to the Williams brothers’ ranch on Snow Mass and helped in the branding of 100 head of cattle and calves.

As usual those who went to the ranch enjoyed themselves among the sizzling of branding irons and the bawls of the cattle. The dinner after the day’s work was the best ever, say those who were at the ranch. The Williams boys know a thing or two about showing their visitors a good time. It was a tired but happy bunch that arrived home late that night, after the fourteen-mile drive.” The photograph above shows two men on horseback driving a herd of cattle at the Williams Ranch, circa 1910.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

WEAR IT: LA SPORTIVA NUCLEO GTX BOOTS SOMETIMES ALL YOU NEED is a solid, reliable boot. La Sportiva designed its Nucleo as a do-all hiker, balancing fit, light(ish) weight, and a bespoke Vibram outsole built for steep terrain or fast trail.

I reviewed the boots — full name: La Sportiva Nucleo High GTX Hiking Boots ($199) — over several months. With an impact-absorbing heel, grippy sole and a Gore-Tex Surround membrane, the Nucleos are capable and durable.

I wore the boots through winter and spring, through wet and dry conditions, and into summer now as the temps spike high. In short: They are solid all-around hikers for almost all conditions with an adaptable outsole and a new kind of GoreTex technology that keeps water out (but also traps heat, making the boots warm on summer days).

The company notes the Nucleo is “perfect for hikers who want a medium-duty boot” and backpackers looking for a waterproof option that breathes well. It’s a build that accommodates weekend backpackers, peak-baggers and even thru-hikers who need something more rugged than trail-running shoes.

They are not clunky. You can, indeed, run in these boots if you want — the heel is not overbearingly high, and the build is lighter than average. A comfortable EVA foam midsole sits atop the Vibram tread.

To add traction, La Sportiva used a scalloped hard rubber compound on the heel. Dubbed the “impact brake system,” it gives extra cushion on heel strike and prevents slipping by digging in on steep terrain.

While not a dedicated winter boot, the Nucleos performed on snow and for early-spring hikes through slush. The aggressive tread bit into snow, snagging purchase on slippery hills.

Once the snow melted, they proved to be nimble and fast hikers. The thick uppers protect without bogging down. The boots are lighter than average at about 20 ounces per foot.

The waterproof uppers are solid, from March slush to springtime stream crossings.

GET IT They fit well out of the box. These are not stiff, old-school hiking boots. The sole is flexible, making them comfortable as you stride and step on rocks or roots.

The rubber is a tacky formula that sticks to stone.

You can edge moderately with the sole, making them usable for scrambling and low-angle climbing.

One caveat: Hot days are not a candidate for waterproof boots. Though usable, you’re better with a mesh-upper boot, trail-running shoes, or even sandals when temps hit 80 degrees or higher.

This is hardly unique to La Sportiva. Your feet will sweat in a boot with leather uppers and a Gore-Tex membrane. The membrane does breathe, though, making them usable year-round if you need the protection and durability all months.

Overall, I found the boots to be nimble for their protection and grip. They have a classic look with brown leather and subdued tones.

$199 www.gore-tex.com

But the boot’s construction with nubuck leather and Gore-Tex inside was not made for fashion; this is functioning gear for your feet that will keep a hiker striding strong in talus and down trails on longdistance days.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

Journalist and author Fareed Zakaria at the Aspen Ideas Festival.

BUILDING BRIDGES IN A POLARIZED NATION WE’VE HEARD IT, read it and seen it in the news lately (and by “lately,” I mean all day every day): our country is extremely polarized.

This climate of divisiveness, which started way before the election, shows no signs of getting better.

In fact, increasingly in this country, we are surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals, people who have similar beliefs BARBARA PLATTS to our own, making our differences as Americans greater and greater.

This troublesome issue of polarization was referenced in just about every session last week that I attended at the Aspen Ideas Festival. There were scores of vital minds speaking on this problem very eloquently, relating it to topics ranging from climate change to late-night comedy. One particular figure I was incredibly excited to hear speak about it was journalist and author Fareed Zakaria.

Zakaria has worked in the media for 25 years. Some of his most notable positions include editor for Newsweek International and editor-at-large for Time. He’s also written several books. Currently, he has his own show on CNN called “GPS (Global Public Square),” and he’s a columnist for the Washington Post. I’ve enjoyed his work for a long time, but a piece he recently did was particularly compelling for me.

Zakaria took on the self-proclaimed liberals during graduation season. In May, graduates who didn’t appreciate their guest commencement speakers

P H OTO B Y M AT T F E R R O

— like Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos — chose to boo them or walk out of their own ceremony because of their presence.

Zakaria said this very action contradicts the heart of what higher education institutions stand for: diversity in thought.

That these students, by walking out on conservative voices, were trying to dismiss freedom of speech, one of the most important rights we have as Americans.

“Freedom of speech and thought is not just for warm, fuzzy ideas we find comfortable. It’s for ideas that we find offensive,” Zakaria said on his show.

The tendency liberals have to block out ideas, thoughts and beliefs they find offensive is very similar to the anti-intellectualism and denial of facts from the right, he said. That at the end of the day, we are all looking to tell the other side they are wrong.

I took Zakaria’s argument very seriously. I already knew that neither the left or the right was handling disagreement well, but this laid it out succinctly for me. Whether we are liberals, conservatives or centrists, we’re all to blame for the polarization in this country. We must each make a point to check our thoughts and comments often, to listen to others and be able to ask: What if I’m wrong? When Zakaria came to the Aspen Ideas Festival last week, he presented a talk titled, “The Roots and Future of Populism.”

He spoke about the past 50 years and how technology has brought the world closer together. But with fewer barriers in communication,

we also have become more closed off to other cultures, other races.

As of late, this is particularly noticeable in Western countries.

It’s strange that, in this age of information, we have all become more closed off from one another.

We live in our own echo chambers, where our beliefs are reaffirmed by stories, people and even facts that we agree with. We manage to get stuck in group thinks that don’t challenge our beliefs, that don’t dare us to be wrong or learn something new. As a proud member of the media, this is a harsh reality for me to come to.

I’ve always prided myself on being open-minded, on listening to other opinions that don’t match with my own. But maybe I haven’t been doing enough of that as of late.

After Zakaria’s talk, I was able to sit down with him and ask about polarization and what we could do to stop it. I asked him specifically about ways he tries to build bridges and create trust with his audience. He said it’s important to look at the full issue or full proposal and not jump to conclusions just because we assume we won’t agree with something.

“You have to try to convey to people that you are looking at this stuff fairly. You’re not approaching it from the point of view that says, ‘I’m on a team and my team is always right and the other team is always wrong,’” he said.

Zakaria said the division in this country is getting worse, but he still has hope that we can turn it around. That there are several respectable news organizations that are working hard to bring the

American people unbiased news, and that we must continue to do that to keep our democracy functioning.

In the midst of all my worries, Zakaria gave me hope for the future.

I still think, even though things are very bad, we can achieve what he’s talking about. We can learn to listen to one another and build bridges.

We have to do this, for our own sake and the sake of the country.

It won’t happen overnight, but it will happen.

“We’ve got to recognize that societies move slowly, and that there has to be some, not accommodation on principal, but accommodation on reality that people are at different stages on these issues,” Zakaria said during his talk.

Zakaria ended his talk with a small dose of hope that made me smile.

He said young people, particularly those under 35 (a.k.a. millennials) are much more eager to live and thrive in diverse communities.

“The reality is that the younger generation wants a world in which they can be connected to the rest of the world. They want an economy which is diverse and flexible and open and technologically advanced. They want a society that is pluralistic and multicultural. They want it because they understand that it enriches them.

So I think we are going to be fine.”

Finally, it appears that us millennials have gotten something right. Now, we just have work to build bridges, not burn them.

WINEINK

THE TOUR TAKES FLIGHT JIMMY’S TO HOST “TOUR DU VIN”

IT’S JULY and in the world’s premier wine nation, France, the world’s premier cycling event, the Tour de France, is in high gear. The 21-stage Tour began July 1 and ends on the Avenue des ChampsÉlysées in Paris on Sunday, July 23rd.

And, in the cycling mecca of Aspen, Colorado, a young sommelier named Greg Van Wagner, KELLY J. who pairs a passion HAYES for both riding and wine, has developed a whimsically brilliant promotional program around the Tour. He calls it the “Le Tour Du Vin” and it gives guests at Jimmy’s American Restaurant & Bar in Aspen, where he is wine director, the opportunity to taste a wine each night from the exact wine region where the Tour de France racers are riding that day.

My wife and I have been avid fans of the Tour for years.

Most July evenings we can be found at home watching the daily recap show on NBCSN, featuring commentators Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen, as we sip French wine. Though we do get inspired by individual riders and storylines, the attraction is not so much the racing as it is the “virtual” tour of the French countryside we get as the peloton races through France.

But Van Wagner has taken his virtual tour to the next-level. “I began looking at the course of this year’s Tour a couple of months ago,” said the advanced sommelier.

“I started with Google Earth and Google Maps to explore the cities and routes, and then went to the GuildSomm site to overlay the communes and appellations that are on the stage routes.”

GuildSomm is a nonprofit international membership organization for sommeliers and wine professionals that doubles as an online educational resource for obsessive wine geeks or those studying for exams.

“There are so many great small

village and commune wines that you would rarely get to see or only know by name because you are studying for the exams,” Van Wagner said. “This gave me a chance to bring them alive.”

Once he identified a region and found an interesting wine from that place, the next challenge was sourcing the wines and getting them to Aspen.

“Honestly, there are three wines on the list that even I have never tried,” he laughed with irony. “This is a list of wines that you wouldn’t ever find anywhere else.” It is a total flight of fancy and that is what makes it so engagingly fun.

People can come into Jimmy’s each day of the Tour and have a glass of the wine representing that day’s stage, at $14 each. The person who tastes the most days and tries the most wines will get a Jimmy’s “Maillot Jaune,” the equivalent of the Tour winner’s Yellow Jersey. If one were to “ride” all 21 stages, the jersey would come at a cool $294, not including tax and tip, of course.

But the fun of having a seat at Jimmy’s bar, getting a tasty education in the broad tableau of French regional wines, all while watching Contador, Froome and Quintana conquer the fivemountain ranges that will be ridden together for the first time since 1992 is, well, priceless.

Van Wagner’s selection of wines is what makes his Tour du Vin so interesting. This year’s Tour includes a trip down the Vosges Mountains in Alsace, the end and beginning of stages in Troyes at the southern end of Champagne, a journey to NuitsSaint Georges and a crossing of the Rhone wine region. “Where I had a choice, I tried to include summer wines, rosé and bubbles,” he said about his strategy.

To that end there will be a pair of well-known rosés, the Whispering Angel, Côtes de Provence, and the Chateau de Berne “Impatience,” Côtes de Provence, poured as the riders rip through Marseille and ride

The Col d’Izoard in the Hautes-Alpes is just one of the high altitude challenges that face the riders of the Tour de France this year.

the sun-kissed south coast in the later stages. But there will be reds, as well. Pinot Noir from Jura winemaker Valentin Morel will be poured as the peloton heads south from Dole, and Gachot Minot will be featured the day they ride into the commune of Nuits-Saint Georges.

In between, look for obscure pours of wines, like a merlot from Domaine De Couron in Ardeche, a wine made with a grape called mollard from the Hautes- Alpes, France’s highest growing region, and on Bastille Day, a Jean Philippe, Cremant de Limoux, Brut Rose. There will even be a Chartreuse to Voiron.

“I wanted to get wines that were fun and were sourced right next to the actual courses that the riders would be on,” Van Wagner said. He has succeeded.

And as the racers finish on the Champs-Élysées, he will be proud to pour glasses of Billecart-Salmon to celebrate.

Vive le France! Vive Van Wagner.

THE SWEETEST SEASON SUMMER BERRY CLAFOUTIS

One of the great, great, great (three times, that’s how great it is) pleasures of summer is figuring out what to do with all that fruit that floods the markets. Stone fruits like plums, peaches, nectarines, cherries; melons of all stripes; and berries. Oh, the berries.

We eat them by the fistful when we’re lucky. Did you ever read Robert McCloskey’s “Blueberries for Sal”? It was one of my favorite children’s books, especially the part where Sal and a baby bear meet while overindulging in a thicket of blueberries. When I read that book as a kid, and then later to my own kids, I knew where Sal and that bear were coming from.

But besides funneling them straight into our mouths, there are other excellent ways to use berries.

One of my favorites is a clafoutis.

A clafoutis (or clafouti) is a baked dessert of French origin, classically made with cherries — even more classically made with cherries with the pits left in them — all ensconced in a lightly sweetened, pancake-like batter that is poured over the fruit. It puffs up enticingly all around the fruit when it bakes. And it’s great with all kinds of fruit, especially berries.

AND it’s easy. This particular version cools into a custardy cake, and if you can serve and eat it slightly warm, you will be in for heightened deliciousness.

A few cracks may appear as it cools — that’s just the way it goes.

SUMMER BERRY CLAFOUTIS WITH WHIPPED CREAM Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes Serves 8 Berry Clafoutis: 1 pint blueberries 1 pound strawberries, halved, or quartered if large 1 tablespoon Chambord, framboise or other berry liqueur 4 large eggs 2/3 cup granulated sugar ½ teaspoon kosher salt

12

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

F

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract ¾ cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups half-and-half Confectioners’ sugar for dusting Sweetened Whipped Cream: 1 ½ cups heavy or whipping cream 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a shallow 2 1/2-to-3-quart casserole.

Place the berries in the casserole.

Sprinkle the Chambord over it, toss the berries with the liqueur, and spread them out in a single layer.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs well, and then add the sugar, salt and vanilla, and whisk well to combine.

Dump in the flour and whisk until the batter becomes very smooth.

Slowly pour in the half-and-half and whisk until incorporated.

Pour the batter over the berries.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, and the whole thing is prettily puffed and nicely browned.

Cool the pan on a wire rack until the clafoutis is slightly warm, or at room temperature, knowing that it may crack in a spot or two, which is fine.

While the clafoutis is baking, make the whipped cream. In a large mixing bowl, using a whisk or a hand mixer, whip the cream with the 2 tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar just until slightly firm peaks are formed.

Dust the clafoutis with additional confectioners’ sugar before serving, and serve with whipped cream.

A CLAFOUTIS (OR CLAFOUTI) IS A BAKED DESSERT OF FRENCH ORIGIN CLASSICALLY MADE WITH CHERRIES — EVEN MORE CLASSICALLY MADE WITH CHERRIES WITH TPITS LEFT IN — ALL ENSCONSED IN A LIGHTLY SWEETENED, PANCAKE-LIKE BATTER THAT IS POURED OVER THE FRUIT. IT PUFFS UP ENTICINGLY ALL AROUND THE FRUIT WHEN IT BAKES. AND IT’S GREAT WITH ALL KINDS OF FRUITS, ESPECIALLY BERRIES.

STONE FRUIT ALMOND UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

This recipe for Stone Fruit Almond Upside-Down Cake works equally well using any kind of stone fruit or a mix of every kind of stone fruit, including plums, apricots, nectarines, peaches and plumcots.

The appeal of the mixed-fruit version — the rainbowlike beauty of the unmolded cake in concert with the rich chord of its flavors — edges out the monochrome visuals and taste of a cake made with just one kind of fruit.

I have specified using firm ripe fruit for this recipe. If the fruit is very ripe, it’ll be too ripe — mushy and difficult to slice. However, very firm unripened fruit will work well, too. Baking those guys simultaneously tenderizes them and amps up their flavor.

The only hurdle when cooking with stone fruit is de-stoning it. The best way to do the job is to slice around the natural seam, preferably with a serrated knife. Then you twist the two halves apart to expose the pit, much as you would with an avocado. Lastly you pluck out the pit with your fingers, if it’s loose enough, or scoop it out with the aid of a melon baller. Now it’s easy to rest the two halves flat on the counter and slice them into wedges.

The heart of this recipe’s allure hinges on the contrast between the fruit’s tartness and the cake’s sweetness. That sweetness resides in the almond paste, so be sure not to use marzipan, which is much more sugary and would make the cake cloyingly sweet.

This cake is a cinch to throw together using a mixer, but the ingredients should all be at room temperature to develop the proper texture. If you’re able to prepare and serve this cake while it’s still hot, your guests will really be wowed, but it’s plenty tasty at room temperature, too. Either way, don’t forget to top it off with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Stone Fruit Almond Upside-Down Cake Start to finish: 1 hour 25 minutes ( 45 active) Servings: 8 to 10 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 3 tablespoons brown sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 pound stone fruit (apricots, nectarines, peaches, plums,

plucots or a mix), pitted and cut into 1/3- to 1/2-inch thick wedges 4 ounces almond paste 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3 large eggs, at room temperature 1/2 cup (60 grams) all-purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon table salt 1/4 cup apricot jam Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for garnish

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons of the butter, the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract.

Lightly grease the sides of an 8-inch square cake pan; spread the brown sugar mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Arrange the fruit wedges in one layer, decoratively on top of the brown sugar mixture.

In a food processor combine the almond paste and the sugar; process the mixture until it is finely ground. Transfer it to a large bowl, add the butter and beat with an electric mixer until the

THE HEART OF THIS RECIPE’S ALLURE HINGES ON THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE FRUIT’S TARTNESS AND THE CAKE’S SWEETNESS. THAT SWEETNESS ALSO RESIDES IN THE ALMOND PASTE, SO BE SURE NOT TO USE MARIZPAN, WHICH IS MUCH MORE SUGARY AND WOULD MAKE THE CAKE CLOYINGLY SWEET.

mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, making sure each one is incorporated before adding the next one and scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula between each addition.

In a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.

Add to the almond mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Spoon the batter over the fruit slices, spreading it evenly. Bake the cake on the middle shelf of the oven until a skewer, when inserted, comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

Let cool for 5 minutes on a rack.

In a small saucepan combine the apricot jam and 1 tablespoon water; cook over medium-low heat until the jam is melted and smooth. Add additional water if necessary to make the jam loose enough to brush on the fruit. Run a knife around the edge of the cake and invert it onto a serving platter. Brush the fruit with the jam and serve the cake with the whipped cream or ice cream.

FROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

MAKE IT Prep: 10 minutes Total Time: 10 minutes Servings: 4 large drinks 9 cup ice separated. Note: may need up to 12 cups.

1 cup grenadine syrup 1 cup Blue Curacao 1 cup vodka 1 cup lemonade

RED, WHITE AND BLUE VODKA LEMONADE SLUSH I know the Fourth of July has come and gone, but one thing remains etched in my mind: the Red, White, and Blue Vodka Lemonade Slush served up at friends’ house for the holiday. First, it looked great — red, white and blue ... like the American flag in a glass. Second, it was refereshing — slushies, no matter what type, are always refreshing. And last, it tasted great — the perfect blend of sweet and spike. Frankly, I am not sure why

Using a blender on crush setting, mix 3 cups of ice and grenadine syrup together until slushy. Note: You need this layer to be extra thick, so if needed, add up to 1 cup of ice.

Repeat the step for the blue curacao, blending with 3 cups of ice until slushy. Like the last layer, you want this to be extra thick. If needed, add up to 1 more cup of ice and blend.

Set aside.

Add vodka, lemonade and remaining 3 cups of ice to the blender and mix until slushy. It’s not as important for this layer to be thick, but it should be comparable to the others. Add up to 1 more cup of ice if needed. When finished, set aside.

Prepare drinks by layering the flavors in this order: grenadine, blue curacao, and finish with the vodka lemonade on top.

Serve immediately.

this libation needs to be relegated to the Fourth. At least we can mix up the “colors” to celebreate other summer occassions, slushie-style.

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

VOYAGES

ESCAPE ARTIST | MAINE

by BETH J. HARPAZ for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VACATION IN MAINE?

WATER, WOODS, THE ARTS AND ADVENTURE FOR ME, summer vacation means spending time on a Maine pond where the sound of loons calling is about the most exciting thing that happens all day.

But I do venture occasionally from my little paradise to experience other things the state has to offer, whether it’s the coast, a mountain hike, a whitewater adventure or a museum. Here are a few options.

—THE SHORE. Maine’s scenic coast has so many wonderful towns that you almost can’t go wrong, but every spot has its own personality. Old Orchard Beach just outside Portland has a sandy beach, busy pier with food, drink and souvenirs, and an oldfashioned amusement park. You could also make a day of visiting Popham Beach State Park in Phippsburg in the morning (the wide sandy beach is great for kite-flying) and nearby Reid State Park in Georgetown in the afternoon (rocky outcroppings, tidal pools and a lagoon). In Rockland, the man-made Breakwater jetty lets you walk nearly a mile from the shore into Penobscot Bay, and a ferry runs across to Vinalhaven island, where it’s worth spending the night. Pemaquid Point Lighthouse Park is another popular spot.

—HIKING. Acadia National Park and the gateway town of Bar Harbor are beautiful but very busy in summer. About 1.5 million people visited the park in July and August of 2016, so be prepared for traffic and crowded trails. For a lovely, doable alternative, consider a day in Camden, with a hike up Mount Battie. A poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay, “Renascence,” engraved on a plaque at the top, describes the stunning view, with references to “three long mountains and a wood” and “three islands in a bay.”

For serious hikers, the Appalachian Trail runs through Maine , terminating atop Mount Katahdin in Baxter State Park. Depending on your route and fitness level, a hike up and down Katahdin’s steep, rocky trails could take 10 to 12 hours, which means you’ll run out of daylight if you don’t start early.

Parking for Katahdin hikes is also limited and often gone by 8 a.m., so consider driving up the night before.

The new (and controversial) Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument doesn’t offer many visitor services yet, but the National Park Service offers tips online for enjoying the area.

—WHITEWATER. Whitewater trips are available on several Maine rivers. My favorite outfitter is Moxie Outdoor Adventures, based in West Forks, which offers an allday Kennebec River trip that’s part paddling like crazy through Class IV rapids and part scenic wilderness float trip. At midday, boats are beached on an island where guides cook steak and chicken over a fire. On one trip, we even saw a moose en route to our launch spot. Warning: You will get soaked. Bring a quick-drying fleece to wear over a swimsuit and shoes (not flip-flops) to wear in the water.

—MOOSE. You can find moosewatching tours on land and water.

I’ve enjoyed sunset boat trips to see moose on Moosehead Lake, but as with any such excursion, there are no guarantees that you’ll see the wildlife you came for. In rural and northern areas, moose present serious driving hazards, especially at dawn, dusk and after dark, so watch out (and be careful what you wish for).

—FOR KIDS. Portland Children’s Museum is fun for a rainy day.

Aquaboggan Water Park in Saco offers slides, wave pools and minigolf. Old-fashioned fairs take place around the state all summer,

featuring rides, games, farm animal displays and more. One friend told me his little girl’s favorite Maine outing was chasing butterflies at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens .

—SHOPPING. Freeport is home to dozens of outlet stores along with the flagship for L.L. Bean. Take your picture in front of the massive boot by the Bean entrance. Note for insomniacs: Bean’s flagship is open 24/7.

—THE ARTS. In Portland, visit Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s house (he wrote the poem “Paul Revere’s Ride”) or take a Stephen King tour of Bangor to see places that inspired his spooky tales. In Cushing, tour the Olson House where Andrew Wyeth painted “Christina’s World” and see Wyeth paintings at Rockland’s Farnsworth Museum. The Portland Museum of Art offers tours of painter Winslow Homer’s waterfront studio and house on Prouts Neck. Music festivals abound as well, from classical to folk.

—BOAT RIDES. Rent a kayak or canoe, or take a ferry, like the ones to Monhegan Island or from Portland to the islands of Casco Bay. There are fancy yachts, schooner rides and dinner cruises, along with lobster boats where you can watch a lobster trap being pulled in. Many port towns also offer nature boat rides. Just know that you could pay a lot of money to spend a few hours on the ocean and not see the whales, seals, eagles or puffins pictured in the brochure.

—SEAFOOD. Everybody has a favorite place for lobster rolls and chowder. Mine include the Harraseeket Lunch and Lobster Company in South Freeport and The Lobster Shack at the end of Two Lights Road in Cape Elizabeth.

—LODGING. Take your pick: campsites, B&Bs, motels, hotels, even upscale resorts. Or rent a rustic cottage, what Mainers refer to as a “camp.” If you’re lucky enough to be on the water, sit back and listen for those loons.

As a summer vacation destination, Maine has something for everyone, from hiking and beaches to adventure and the arts.

The Nieslanik family push their cattle through Carbondale in early June. According to Parker Nieslanik, “We are currently irrigating the fields to produce hay for the cattle in the winter months. For the next two months we will be putting up the hay for the cows. We are also partners with the Marble Distillery and currently grow grain that is used for their vodka and whiskey,” he says. “Come October the cows will come back to the ranch and graze the hay fields until the snow falls, which we start feeding the hay we raised all summer.

In February, we start the calving season with it tailing off in the end of March and the beginning of April. Mid-April we brand the calves so that they are officially in the herd. They have to be branded to keep separated. The beginning of June we push the cows and calves through town up to Thompson Creek Divide where they will spend the summer months.”

SCENE IN SNOWMASS

BY ERICA ROBBIE

Few events can successfully cater to and entertain 4-yearolds and 84-year-olds alike.

But the Snowmass Rodeo isn’t like most events, rodeo volunteer Caroline Gibson explained.

“We offer a different kind of entertainment,” Gibson said.

“It’s a window into the past and a window into the history of ranching, cowboys and the West.”

Snowmass Tourism director Rose Abello said she cannot overstate the “incredible impression” the Snowmass Rodeo leaves on international visitors.

“Very few other countries have anything like rodeos. Most think that this staple of American West is a thing of the past,” she said.

But she was quick to note that the rodeo isn’t just for visitors.

“It’s also a huge and important community event,” Abello added.

Deborah Breen, who doubles as a rodeo regular and president of Aspen Valley Hospital Foundation, said she attends the rodeo every week during the summer to gets her “horse and cowboy fix.”

Breen said she loves to bring her friends, family and co-workers to the Snowmass Rodeo.

“It’s a nice break from civilization,” Aspen native Coco Writer said.

PRE-RODEO Pig out before the show (starting at 5 p.m.) with a special Westernstyle barbecue prepared by Conundrum Catering.

The local catering company whips up a variety of mouthwatering meats and sides, including St. Louisstyle ribs, chicken, cheeseburgers, pulled-pork sandwiches, coleslaw and baked beans.

After all, it isn’t the group’s first rodeo, either.

In the early 1980s and ‘90s, Conundrum Catering owner Kip Feight and executive chef Thomas Jaggi served food at the Snowmass Western Heritage Rodeo.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE The nonprofit Snowmass Western Heritage Rodeo formed in 2003 as a way to preserve and keep alive Snowmass Village and the Roaring Fork Valley’s Western heritage.

The organization produces the Snowmass Rodeo each week, along with a whole team of staff members that includes the arena director and crew, livestock contractors, flag carriers, announcers, judges and, of course, the contestants.

PHOTOS BY ANNA STONEHOUSE

Volunteers also play a critical role in the show’s success, as well.

“It just would not be possible without all of the locals who support it and the volunteers who give of their time each week,” Abello said.

In addition to its events, the Snowmass Rodeo also features a free petting zoo, a mechanical bull for the more courageous rodeo-goers, an inflatable bouncy house and vendors who offer a gamut of goods from homemade fudge to handmade jewelry.

In 2016, the rodeo started featuring a singer from the Aspen Music Festival to serenade the national anthem.

“It is incredible and oftentimes leaves me with chills,” Gibson said.

As one rodeo-goer pointed out, the sense of patriotism felt at an old-fashioned American rodeo is hard to miss.

“It’s all about being an American,” said New Jersey resident Howard Siegel, who attended the Snowmass Rodeo — his first rodeo — last July. “I loved it.”

AFTER THE SHOW Stick around for a sing-along around the campfire led by rodeo aficionado Twirp Anderson, who has been involved with the Snowmass Rodeo since its inception 44 years ago.

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

A GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY

MAY SELBY

SINCE 1967, Wilderness Workshop has been a force to be reckoned with in designating and protecting public lands. The conservation organization was founded by a tenacious trio of women: Connie Harvey, Dottie Fox and Joy Caudill, affectionately nicknamed the “Maroon Belles.” Compelled to protect much of beautiful natural surroundings of the Roaring Fork Valley at a time when the future of this land was at stake, they came together using grassroots efforts to secure congressional designation for what is now the Hunter-Fryingpan, Collegiate Peaks, Raggeds and West Elks Wilderness areas. Also through their efforts, the acreage designated within the Maroon BellsSnowmass Wilderness Area was doubled.

In 1978, The Endangered American Wilderness Act was passed, followed in 1980 with the Colorado Wilderness Act, enabling

the organization to continue its advocacy for wilderness, public lands protection and wildlife habitat. Today, Wilderness Workshop remains true to its roots, striving to promote community involvement as a front line tool.

For its 50th anniversary celebration, Wilderness Workshop presented a pair of special events June 28 with Wild Feast at the Caribou Club, and July 1 with Wild Fest at Owl Farm. While similar in name, each event was unique in identity and served as a memorable gathering for those in attendance and thoughtful tribute to the legacy of Wilderness Workshop.

Sierra Club executive director Michael Brune was a guest speaker at each event, thanking and also inspiring all to take action, noting “Democracy is not a spectator sport.”

Brune remarked upon the important work by Wilderness Workshop over the past 50 years,

Jul y 6 - Jul y 1 2 , 2017

and the Sierra Club, which was founded by preservationist John Muir 125 years ago.

In addition to the founders of Wilderness Workshop, Brune thanked the board, supporters and staff currently carrying the torch including Sloane Shoemaker, Rebecca Mirsky, Will Roush, Alicia Zeringue, Tracy Pihl, Justin Patrick, Peter Hart and Melanie Finan.

More events and opportunities to be involved with Wilderness Workshop are on the horizon including screenings of its incredibly moving 50th anniversary film

FERNANDO ALLENDE ON STAGE AND ON CANVAS IN ASPEN FERNANDO ALLENDE is coming home again.

The Latino stuperstar. who lived in Woody Creek from 1985 until 2001, is back in town showcasing artwork at Gallery 1949 and performing a benefit concert for English in Aspen.

Allende has been in show business his entire adult life, beginning singing mariachi at age 7 and acting at 17. He was a heartthrob in Mexico and Hollywood, made movies and albums, worked with the likes of Joanne Woodward and Tony Curtis and Quincy Jones in English-language productions and starred in countless Spanishlanguage films. In the 1980s, he was on “Murder, She Wrote,” “Miami

Vice” and “Hart to Hart.” In Aspen, he filmed a Christmas special at the Wheeler Opera House. In Mexico, he worked to preserve traditional Mexican music, serving as an ambassador for mariachi musicians and made 18 albums with them.

At Wednesday’s concert — with all proceeds going to the Roaring Fork Valley nonprofit organization that offers language tutoring and builds cross-cultural bridges in the community — Allende will perform with Denver-based Mariachi Sol de mi Tierra.

“We are thrilled to have an artist of Fernando Allende’s caliber to help showcase our efforts to extend a hand of friendship to adult

immigrants eager to improve their English language skills in order to better their lives and the lives of their families,” said English in Action executive director Lara Beaulieu.

Allende, 64, hasn’t given a musical performance in Aspen in years, though he and his wife and children have visited often since they left the Aspen area to attend to his sick

father-in-law in Puerto Rico. Most recently, he’s come back to the mountains to showcase his exuberant abstract paintings at Gallery 1949, which currently has an Allende survey on its walls and will host a reception with Allende on July 11.

His devotion to painting, he told The Aspen Times during another recent visit, is an extension of

“ALL OF A SUDDEN IN ASPEN I STARTED TO DREAM IN COLOR AND BRUSHES AND CANVASES. I WOULD DREAM THE SAME THING UNTIL IT TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE. SO WHAT I REALIZED I WASN’T DOING WAS GOING TO BUY THE PAINTS AND BRUSHES AND STARTING PAINTING. IT WAS LIKE A CELESTIAL MESSAGE.”

by ANDREW TRAVERS

his life’s work as a performer.

“I believe that it all comes from the same divine energy,” Allende says. “It comes from whatever you consider divine, whatever we come from and wherever we go. And that’s the same energy as when I sing, when I act, when I take something that’s on paper in black and white that I make into a character. I tap that same energy.”

His journey as a painter, in fact, began when he was living here.

“All of a sudden in Aspen I started to dream in color and brushes and canvases,” Allende recalls.

The recurring dreams of combining colors, shapes and visual ideas were unrelenting.

“I would dream the same thing until it turned into a nightmare,” he said. “So what I realized I wasn’t doing was going to buy the paints and brushes and starting paintings.

It was like a celestial message.”

So he converted a room in his

Woody Creek home into a painting studio and got to work. Allende was prolific from the beginning, fashioning abstract portraits and color fields — transferring his dreams onto canvas.

He began showing some of the work to friends, eventually landing in prominent collections and galleries and gaining admission to the Venice Biennale. atravers@aspentimes.com

The “Short Form” application may be used by qualifying senior citizens who meet each of the basic qualifications. The “Long Form” application must be used by applicants who satisfy one or more of the exceptions to the basic qualifications. If you would like to receive an application form or a brochure that explains the senior citizen exemption in greater detail, or if you have any questions regarding the exemption, please call the assessor’s office at (970) 920-5160.

INTELLIGENT EXERCISE

by BRUCE DESILVA for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOOK REVIEW

‘UNSUB’ A SERIAL KILLER known only as “The Prophet” terrorized the San Francisco Bay area with a series of ritualized killings in the 1990s, taunting the authorities with cruel mind games that left the lead detective who hunted him a broken man. Then, as abruptly as they began, the killings stopped, and the killer vanished.

Now, 20 years later, the killings have begun again, and Caitlin Hendrix, a young detective haunted by her shattered father’s failure to catch the madman the first time, vows to bring the seemingly unstoppable psychopath down.

That is the premise of “UNSUB,” the latest thriller by Edgar Awardwinning novelist Meg Gardiner.

Serial killers have long been a staple of crime stories,

NOTEWORTHY

with too many novelists and scriptwriters striving to top each other by making each new fictional psychopath more twisted, brutal and terrifying than the last. From TV’s “Criminal Minds” to hundreds of predictably grizzly novels, it’s all become a bit tiresome.

But Gardiner’s novel breathes new life into the sub-genre with her mastery of police procedure; with superb characterizations of her heroine, the heroine’s father and the killer; and with enough twists and turns to leave fans of TV’s “Scandal” and “How to Get Away With Murder” short of breath.

The result is an intelligent, sharply written, compelling page-turner that is satisfying on every level.

Best of all, the novel ends with a cliff-hanger reminiscent of an early Godzilla movie — the one in which the monster was finally vanquished, the hero was being cheered and the scene suddenly shifted to an underwater chamber where a huge egg was about to hatch. You knew, then, that there had to be a sequel.

The conclusion of “UNSUB” makes a similar promise, and Gardiner, in an exchange of emails, confirmed that readers will soon be hearing from Caitlin Hendrix again.
