23 COVER STORY There are many once-in-a-lifetime moments. Some are purely personal; others are more supernatural. On Monday, Aug. 21, Aspenites will get the opportunity to experience the latter when the Great American Eclipse turns day into (mostly) night. Of course, this is not the only celestial event to capture our attention lately. In this week’s edition, we turn our eyes to the skies for sampling of meteor showers, full moons, stargazing, eclipse preparation and more.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

CLASSICAL MUSIC GOD DAMN! The Aspen Music Festival season comes to an epic close Sunday, Aug. 20, with an ambitious performance of Berlioz’s “The Damnation of Faust” at the Benedict Music Tent.

The timeless and often retold story of temptation and damnation will be performed by the Aspen Festival Orchestra and a massive cast including mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, tenor Bryan Hymel, bass-baritone John Relyea and bass Federico De Michelis and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra Chorus.

It will be conducted by Aspen music director Robert Spano.

The stage spectacle is rarely produced in full, so the closer is a rare opportunity.

“It’s a work that’s not as well-known because it’s so hard to produce,” said Aspen Music Fest director and CEO Alan Fletcher. “That’s exactly the kind of thing we like to do, and that we can do.”

The legend of the piece’s composition goes that Berlioz was financially ruined and met with indifference when his grand vision of “Faust” premiered in Paris, but the piece has gone on to be recognized as a classic.

The performance is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.

Tickets are $90, available at the Wheeler Opera House and Harris Concert Hall box offices and at www.aspenmusicfestival. com. Pick up the Aug. 18 Weekend section of the Aspen Times for more on “The Damnation of Faust.”

The Aspen Music Festival will close its 2017 season with a peformance of Berlioz’s “The Damnation of Faust.” Pictured here, the 2015 season-closing performance of “Aida.”

CURRENTEVENTS DANCE

Eliane Elias will perform at the JAS Cafe at the Aspen Art Museum on Aug. 18.

ASPEN SANTA FE BALLET is closing its summer season on Friday, Aug. 18, with a three-piece program celebrating some of the company’s most exciting recent work.

The evening includes the third summer performance of Fernando Melo’s new “Dream Play,” which blends video projection with groundbreaking movement, Alejandro Cerrudo’s “Little mortal jump” and Cherice Barton’s “Eudaemonia.”

Tickets available at the Wheeler box office and www.aspenshowtix.com.

POPULAR MUSIC GRAMMY-WINNING PIANIST AND VOCALIST Eliane Elias is looking homeward and celebrating the rich history of samba in two performances at the JAS Café at the Aspen Art Museum on Friday, Aug. 18.

ECLIPSED

1930

“Did you see it?” questioned The Aspen Times on May 2, 1930. “Monday noon the moon passed between the Earth and the sun and you should have seen the rubbernecks gazing upward through pieces of smoked glass. For a time the sun’s light rays cast a brownish hue upon the Earth’s spot occupied by Aspen and the chickens started for their coops as the moon obscured nearly three-quarters of the sun. They say we won’t see another eclipse of the sun until 1974 — and some of us won’t see that.” The photograph above shows Aspen from Aspen Mountain (taken at Tourtelotte Park), circa 1930.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

RELAX: NOMAD HAMMOCK STAND NO TREES? NO PROBLEM. The Nomad Hammock Stand offers a place to hang anywhere, albeit at a price.

Made by hammock brand ENO, the high-end stand is built from aluminum and weighs a solid 15 pounds. It comes in a carrying case reminiscent of a golf bag.

While portable, it’s not something I’d carry a considerable distance.

This is a product for the backyard or a drive-up campsite.

I was a bit skeptical of the design at first. I rarely have a problem finding trees for a hammock. But once I tested it I found myself using it all over. At the beach and treeless campsites it came in handy.

Setup is quick, and I’m usually lounging in about two minutes — the poles attach with shock-cord and assembly is similar to a tent.

Once it’s set, you connect the

carabiner on your hammock to the webbing loops and relax.

Loops on each side of the stand let you choose how tight you want to hang a hammock. It also allows you to use hammocks of different lengths.

Who’s it for? The Nomad was made for people who love to hammock but might not have the trees to do it. Those living in urban areas, apartment dwellers, or desert and beach campers come to mind.

A big caveat: This stand costs about $250. A buyer needs to be fully committed to a love for hammocking.

It holds up to 300 pounds, so don’t try and double up. This is a solo stand for most ‘mockers looking to swing free without the help of trees.

THE LAST HURRAH(S)

WANING SUMMER DAYS AND SO MUCH LEFT TO DO WE DON’T WANT to admit it. We may not even want to talk about it. However, we all know it to be true: Summer is nearing an end. A sure sign of this is that early bird ticket sales for the 2017-18 ski season went on sale Monday.

While we are all almost, kinda, sorta starting to get excited for winter, now is the time to capture the last bit of summer BARBARA PLATTS fun in the Roaring Fork Valley before the cold of fall sets in. There’s still a lot of time left for hiking, biking and other outdoor activities. But many of the cultural events of the summer are wrapping up quickly.

Below are a few that will soon be over and should probably be added to your to do list before it’s too late.

ASPEN MUSIC FESTIVAL AND SCHOOL EVENTS This is the final weekend to enjoy classical tunes throughout

town before AMFS’ season comes to a close. Musical events are happening throughout the next few days, concluding with a performance at the Benedict Music Tent on Sunday, Aug. 20.

If you haven’t made it to the lawn outside the tent yet, now is the time. Bring a picnic and possibly some light reading material and enjoy this essential Aspen summer experience.

JAZZ ASPEN SNOWMASS CONCERTS The JAS Cafe has three more shows this weekend to wrap up. There’s Eliane Elias on Aug. 18, Nnenna Freelon on Aug. 19 and Jacob Collier on Aug. 20 (though his show is sold out so you may have to bribe a friend for tickets). The last three shows are all being held on the roof of the Aspen Art Museum. Also being presented by the nonprofit is the JAS Labor Day Experience Sept. 1 to 3. The three-day passes are sold out, but there are some

single-day tickets still available.

RODEO EVENTS

These wild west shows are wrapping up for the summer, but there’s still a couple more opportunities to put on those cowboy boots and hat and get out for a show. Snowmass Rodeo will have its final event Wednesday, Aug. 23. The Carbondale Wild West Rodeo finishes up Aug. 17 (the day this issue goes to print).

Unfortunately, the Garfield County Rodeo in Rifle has already closed up for the season so you’ll have to catch that one next year.

SNOWMASS FREE CONCERT SERIES

The jam-packed season of free concerts on the stage at Fanny Hill is nearly at an end. The last shows are Aug. 17 with the Otis Taylor Band and Sept. 9 for the 90’s Night Glow Show. The latter is part of the Snowmass Balloon Festival and starts a bit later once the sun has mostly set. If you

haven’t made it out to Snowmass Village for some free music yet, now is the time to do it.

THEATRE ASPEN’S 2017 SUMMER SEASON

“Sex with Strangers” and “The World According to Snoopy” have wrapped up for the summer.

“Hairspray” only has a couple of days left (luckily there are two shows on Saturday). As I’m writing this column, there are still several seats available, but get your ticket fast. The shows are likely to sell out!

Saying “so long” to summer is never easy, especially up in the Roaring Fork Valley where there’s something fun to do every single day. But, say goodbye we must, so let’s send off the 2017 sunny season with a bang.

Barbara Platts is soaking up as much summer as she can before autumn enters the scene. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com or on Twitter @BarbaraPlatts.

WINEINK

SOMM STANDARDS

WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT FROM YOUR SOMMELIER ONCE UPON A TIME, a sommelier was a gruff, intimidating character whose sole purpose, or so it seemed, was to make diners feel small as they paid ever-larger prices for wines.

The sommelier, then always a man, would often wear a small silver cup on a chain around his neck called a Tastevin that, in theory, was used to “test” the wine before KELLY J. HAYES deeming it drinkable.

How times have changed. Today’s sommeliers are the hippest and happiest people in the room. These men — and fortunately much more frequently today, women — embody the concept of hospitality as they strive to insure that guests get the most from their wine experiences.

So what happened? Well, for starters there has been a simultaneous explosion in the wine savvy of both consumers and sommeliers. For the somms, institutions like the Court of Master Sommeliers and the British Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) have upped the game as young professionals now study the world of wine in quest of certification and validation.

For consumers, the information revolution created a source for global conversation about wine.

No longer is it enough to simply read your local wine column or the wine press if you want to know about wine. Now, at your fingertips, you can examine every region, every bottle and every vintage on your phone before making a buying decision.

The result is that a very different relationship exists today between consumers and the wine professionals in sommelier positions.

THE SOMM’S RESPONSIBILTY When you go into a restaurant with the idea of having wine with your meal, you have a right to high expectations. After all, the restaurant is charging anywhere from two to three times the wholesale price they paid for a wine, making it one of the most

10

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

F

profitable items on their menus.

You generally can expect to pay double in a restaurant for the same bottle you would find in a store. That said, even at a higher price, there can still be value based upon both the sommelier and the wine program’s ability to meet or exceed your expectations.

At the very least, a sommelier must know their list. They need to know which wines pair well with the food the restaurant serves. If they are out of wines that appear on the list, they need to be able to make recommendations for alternatives.

A good somm will either infer your budget based upon wines you request, or, alternatively, inquire about what you may want to spend on your wines.

A really good somm will make suggestions for alternative wines that are good values, as well. While the upsale is alive and well, any customer feels better when they have saved a few dollars and made a wine discovery due to a smart suggestion from a sommelier.

To me, that is the holy grail of a great somm experience.

Of course, selling the wine is just one component of the wine service and experience. Service is the next.

Three things to look for: Stemware.

Temperature. Pour levels.

If you are paying any more than $40 to $50 for a bottle of wine you deserve an appropriate glass. In this day and age, stemware that is applicable for a particular type of wine, say a Burgundy glass for a pinot noir, or a flute glass for a bottle of Champagne, is a standard expectation. If the same type of glass arrives for different wines, don’t hesitate to ask for an upgrade. You deserve it.

Next, warm wine should never be served at those price points. Any somm worth his or her salt will not even bring a bottle to a table that is not at the appropriate temperature.

Not only is a room temperature white wine or a warmer-thanthat red an unpleasant experience upon first taste, it suggests that the wine has not been stored properly to begin with. If your wine is too warm, speak up. The

Aug u st 17 - Aug u st 23, 20 17

somm should know better.

When the pour is made, a good somm will not overfill your glass.

There is a school that suggests that the more wine you have in your glass, the faster you will drink it and the more bottles you will order.

That may be true, but having space to swirl the wine in the glass and savor its flavor and aromas is key to the experience of enjoying it.

But most importantly, your sommelier should be genuinely nice. After all, the best wine experiences result from the nicest people.

Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-tobe-designated appellation of Old Snowmass. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE 2016 CHÂTEAU CAMBON BEAUJOLAIS, FRANCE ($20) Among the somm set gamay is the hot red wine grape of the last couple of years.

Affordable, fruity and versatile, the once overlooked grape that is the base for the famed Beaujolais Nouveau has now become a go-to. This wine wowed the staff at The New York Times as well as Helen Johanneson, from LA’s Helen’s Wines. Farmed from organic vineyards the wine is lush and fruit forward. A great bargain.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

by SARA MOULTON for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A TART FOR ALL REASONS

TOMATO MOZZARELLA AND BASIL TART IS A VERSATILE DISH THERE ARE VERY FEW things more delicious than tomatoes in season. Sure, you can buy them year-round, but these imports tend to be mealy and flavorless, so why bother? Tomato Mozzarella and Basil Tart is a celebration of the tomato at the peak of its perfection, namely right now.

One important step will guarantee this recipe’s success: You want to keep the tomatoes’ water content from making the

tart soggy. How to do it? Salt and drain them. This simple process not only flushes out their excess liquid, but it also magnifies their tomato-iness. For that matter, I recommend lightly salting and draining tomatoes even when you plan to eat them raw in a salad.

Here we’ve paired the tomatoes with some of their BFFs — mozzarella and basil — then stacked the deck by adding some ricotta and ParmigianoReggiano. The recipe calls for

full-fat mozzarella and ricotta, but you can lighten it up by using low-fat versions instead.

Also, if you don’t feel like making pie dough from scratch, go ahead and substitute storebought pie dough. (It’s usually sold already rolled out in a disposable pie tin.) After letting the store-bought dough soften a bit at room temperature, lift it up gently and fit it into the tart tin just as you would if you were using homemade dough.

By the way, a tart tin fitted with a removable fluted rim will make you look like a baking genius. It automatically gives the dough a fluted edge — no shaping on your part required — and it’s designed for easy unmolding so it’s a cinch to cut out slices. It’s really a worthwhile investment.

The finished tart is hard to beat — great right out of the oven or at room temperature — for lunch or dinner, at home or at a picnic.

Add a salad and call it a meal.

MAKE IT Start to finish: 5 hours (1 hour active) Servings: 6 to 8 FOR THE DOUGH: 6 ounces (about 11⁄3 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon table salt 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 2 to 4 tablespoons ice water FOR THE PIE: 4 medium beefsteak tomatoes (about 13/4 pounds) 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for sprinkling on the tomatoes 1 cup packed basil leaves plus extra small leaves for garnish 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole-milk ricotta cheese 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup coarsely grated mozzarella cheese (about 6 ounces) 1 ounce freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing on the tomatoes MAKE THE DOUGH: In a large bowl, stir together the flour and the salt, add the butter and, working quickly with your fingertips or a pastry blender, mix the dough until most of mixture resembles coarse meal, with the rest in small (roughly pea-sized) lumps. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the ice water evenly over the mixture and gently stir with a fork until incorporated. Gently squeeze a small handful: it should hold together without crumbling apart. If it doesn’t, add more ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring 2 or 3 times after each addition until it comes together.

Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and with the heel of your hand, smear the dough in a forward motion on the work surface to help distribute fat. Gather the smeared dough together and repeat the process. Form the dough into a disk. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it soften for 30 to 40 minutes at room temperature. On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough into an 11-inch round. Ease the round into a 9-inch tart tin with a removable fluted rim, trim the excess dough and prick the bottom and sides of the dough all over with a fork. Cover and chill for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line the shell with aluminum foil and fill it with pie weights, dried beans or rice. Bake in the lower third of the oven for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and pie weights, return the tart shell to the oven and bake it until it is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool.

MAKE THE FILLING: Reduce the oven temperature to 350 F. Slice the tomatoes 1⁄3-inch thick, lightly salt the slices on both sides and transfer them to a large colander or cake rack to drain for 20 minutes.

In a food processor, combine the basil, ricotta and eggs and process until blended. Add the salt, mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano and pepper and process until combined.

Pat the tomatoes dry with paper towels. Line the bottom of the pastry shell with the tomato end pieces, and spoon on the cheese mixture, smoothing it out with a spatula. Arrange the remaining tomato slices on top, in one layer, overlapping them slightly. Brush the tomatoes with olive oil and bake until the cheese mixture is set, about 1 hour. Transfer to a rack to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

SOLAR ECLIPSE The 2017 solar eclipse is a big deal. A neighbor of mine — and thousands of others, from the sound of it — is traveling to Wyoming to the best view possible. In researching a bit about why Wyoming, I stumbled across a plug from the Backwards Distilling Company in Casper, Wyoming, on its plan for the big day, which includes serving up various cocktail throughout the day to celebrate (Eclipse Chaser with coffee, OJ, muddled blueberries and rum at 9 a.m., anyone?). And, of course, this got me wondering what home eclipse viewers might want to to whip up for the occasion. Here is Aspen, we’ll be viewing the eclipse late-morning. To me, this calls for a coffee-type drink, but one with a kick. Alas, the Solar Eclipse. Descibed by Patron, which created the concoction, as “one eclipse you’re going to want to look into. Sweet and sparkling, it can instantly brighten any dinner party,” I am thinking it would brighten up a daytime eclipse party just as well. If you haven’t tried it, Patrón XO Cafe is a dry, low-proof coffee liqueur that’s a blend of Patrón Silver and the essence of coffee; I’ve found it good for sipping, mixing in cocktails or as a dessert ingredient. Now we’ll see how it performs as a Solar Eclipse.

here’s something very real about spending a day in the midvalley. The vibe, from Basalt to Carbondale, is laid-back, welcoming, a bit more straight-forward than its upvalley neighbor Aspen.

The Downvalley Tavern, located in the heart of El Jebel, puts that sentiment to work with its casual, family-friendly atmosphere and simple, yet impressively upscale menu.

“We’re just about good food, good times — a neighborhood tavern in the traditional sense,” says chef/owner Drew Scott, a longtime Roaring Fork Valley resident and restaurant veteran

who decided to make his roots in the midvalley permanent by opening the Tavern. “We aren’t trying to compete with anyone else; we think we offer something unique to our guests.”

According to Scott, those guests include locals, second-home owners and visitors. In fact, the Downvalley Tavern is the perfect place for visitors to stop for a bite to eat as they explore all the valley has to offer in summer.

“We have a huge patio that is perfect for summer evenings, and a comfortable bar that is just right for relaxing in after a day of work, golf, fishing or whatever,” says Scott.

Not to Miss Locally sourced dishes, including daily specials Perfect midway point for food & drink in the Roaring Fork Valley Death by Sexy: Nolet’s Gin, lemon juice, lavender prosecco

And the menu is sure to keep you coming back time after time, as the food and drink choices run the gamut from ultra family-friendly to downright decadent.

At lunch, dive into an order of chicken wings (made with coriander, lime, fresno butter and cilantro ranch), followed by fried chicken, one of several pizzas (pig lover’s unite: this one has pepperoni, house sausage, prosciutto and bacon), or a one-of-akind burger.

“We’re probably best known for our burgers,” says Scott, pointing out such specialty offerings as the Coloradan with Fat Tire mustard, red onion jam, white cheddar and bacon, or the Italian Stallion, topped with prosciutto, mushrooms, pesto, arugula and tomato.

“But we’re about more than burgers.”

Indeed, the dinner menu rivals just about any menu from Aspen to Glenwood Springs.

Begin with the steamed mussels, a loaded bowl filled with fresh mussels, red onion, tomato, basic, garlic and chilies, this dish is both flavorful and filling. For your second course, the roasted beet salad offers a playful mix of beets, arugula, kalamata olives, shaved fennel and pecorino cheese.

Then, for your main course, savor a smoked Colorado buffalo meatloaf, served with roasted potatoes, caramelized onion, scallion slaw and tomato rosemary jus.

“We really do try to raise the bar with our menu,” Scott says. “We may be the DVT, but you’ll be surprised by the amazing things we offer.”

Well said, and well worth the visit. clockwise from left: Roasted Beet salad with arugula, kalamatas, fennel and pecorino; Crab & Shrimp Spaghetti with corn, lemon, tomato, garlic, scallions and Parm; Smoked Heritage Pork Chop, served with roasted potatoes, caramelized onions, scallion slaw, tomato and rosemary jus.

VOYAGES

DESTINATION | MEXICO

INVISIBLE WOMEN ON FEB. 23, 2011, a burly man dressed in black picked me up in El Paso and drove me across the border to Ciudad Juárez and Visión en Acción, the mental asylum he had founded more than 20 years ago. This was Pastor José Antonio Galván, ex-adddict himself as well as deportee. Even though I had been — and continue to be — documenting and working with a number of humanitarian organizations in the Juárez-Palomas area, what I saw at Visión en Acción that day was so extraordinary that I have visited at least once a month ever since.

It has become part of my life.

When my wife, Julie, was alive, it was always brutally hard to tear myself away from her here in Santa Fe and start that long drive to Mexico. Even then, however, I felt a sense of elation as I crossed the border at Santa Teresa on the west edge of Juárez and raced south into the desert. That sense of elation is even stronger now that I am alone. These patients are my friends and the friendship we offer each other is more important than the candy, clothing, cigarettes and photos that I bring. I’ve been asked repeatedly why I have been doing this so consistently and for so long. The best answer I can give is that it has become part of me.

What strikes me the most are the women. Despite their often attractive and “normal” appearances, they have all suffered enormously.

18

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

They are truly victims, more so than the men. Pastor Galván says that society considers them “invisible.”

Yet most of them maintain a spirit, warmth and sense of caring that is remarkable. This is true even for those like Elia Zoto who cannot speak coherently and describe what she has experienced. Here are brief comments about four of them.

BECKY Becky was one of the first people to greet me. A dark, powerfullooking but often moody woman with a red beret cocked sideways on her head, she would take my little notebook and make notes about patients while I was photographing.

She would write her life story for me. She would occasionally drift off and sit alone, her mood darker and darker. Bipolar like many of the patients, she would have outbursts and end up in a locked cell until she could calm herself. And she would hound me for cigarettes.

I told Pastor Galván, “I’ve never smoked, I don’t believe in it.”

“Yes, I agree,” he answered. “But do you know that she beat another woman to death over one cigarette?”

More practical than principled, I started always bringing cigarettes, quickly realizing that they provide a needed moment of extraordinary pleasure and relaxation.

Then Becky died suddenly, just before she was to marry Juan Carlos, another patient. Pastor

Aug u st 17 - Aug u st 23, 20 17

Galván had even bought her a white wedding gown. I was to be her wedding photographer. I had seen the wedding as something that might lift her out of that sense of despair that often seemed to engulf her. But then she was gone. It sent a terrible shock wave through the asylum, through me.

ELIA AND LETICIA When the parents of Elia and Leticia, these tiny, incoherent sisters died, they were sent to live with neighbors who kept them chained up and sold them for sex. Eventually the police rescued them and brought them to the asylum in January 2009. Leticia, the older sister, died in 2016, but Elia will probably live out the rest of her life here.

Now whenever I visit, she is one of the first to greet me. She hugs me, kisses me and says “Foto, foto,” the only coherent word I have ever heard her say. She keeps 20 or more of my photos in her Bible — photos of her wearing three hats stacked on top of each other or a mask or with the Bible in her hand or a bunch of bracelets on her wrist or a white plastic cross dangling from her fingers or a crown of little flowers on her head.

She always wants more photos.

On a July Sunday several years ago — temperature 103 degrees — eight heavily armed police officers delivered a filthy, aggressive woman named Marta to Galván. Patients

bathed Marta, cut off her matted hair, gave her a clean smock and trimmed her fingernails. (There is no money for staff to do this.) Then she shrieked, broke loose and charged to the other side of the patio. “Let her calm down,” Galván said. She was built like a linebacker and no one wanted to tangle with her. Finally, Elia, who couldn’t weigh more than 100 pounds, and Leticia, who was even smaller, walked quietly across the patio and sat next to her. Elia then leaned against Marta, her hand on her shoulder. In a few minutes, Marta was relaxed and smiling.

The next time I visited, it was Marta taking care of Leticia, whose balance was bad, causing numerous falls. Now only Elia is left, dedicated to relieving the suffering of others.

CINTHIA Although a Mexican citizen, Cinthia grew up in Ponca City, Oklahoma, and speaks perfect English. Nonetheless, this intelligent and attractive woman has “cycled” through Visión en Acción four times since I started visiting. By that, I mean that she is brought in drugged up, delusional and aggressive, kept in a cell until she is no longer a risk, and then allowed to be in the main population until a plan is put together for her release, usually to a family member. At first, it was exciting to watch her progress. She would talk about her plans to marry and I would

promise to be her photographer.

Soon, however, she would be back, crazed and aggressive.

Shortly after her last release, police found her wandering the streets, hysterical. Now she is back again but taking much longer to recover.

In early July, she was out in the patio with the other patients but on July 27, she was back in a cell and incoherent. She will always have food, care and shelter but her true potential will never be realized.

Many years ago I watched how my wife, Julie, treated a mentally ill relative: just like a regular person who you love and care for.

Therefore, to me, these women aren’t really “invisible.” They are just regular people who have suffered and have illnesses and need to be loved and cared for.

AS THE SKY WAS AFLAME with the recent Perseid Meteor Shower, and I sat with family and friends watching it from a field far away from civilization, it dawned on me just how vast the world above our heads really is.

Here in Aspen, the sun will be 92 percent occluded at the peak of the eclipse; the eclipse will begin at 10:20 a.m., peak at 11:43 a.m., and end at 1:11 p.m.

It will be celebrated in countless ways. So here, on the following pages, we outline a few — also keeping in mind that a picture is worth a thousand words. – Jeanne McGovern

FIVE QUESTIONS ANSWERED ABOUT THE SOLAR ECLIPSE from THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE will be visible across the U.S. on Monday, Aug. 21. Shannon Schmoll, director of the Abrams Planetarium at Michigan State University, explains why and how it happens, and what we can learn from an eclipse.

Q: How do we know when an eclipse is going to happen? How do we know in advance where it will be visible?

A: Schmoll: Solar eclipses happen when our view of the sun is blocked by the moon. When the moon lines up between the sun and Earth, the moon will cast a shadow onto Earth. This is what we on the ground observe as a solar eclipse.

We know when they’ll happen because over centuries astronomers have measured very precisely the motions of the Earth, moon and sun, including their orbital shapes, how the orbits precess and other parameters. With those data about the moon — and similar information about the Earth’s orbit around the sun — we can make mathematical models of their movements in relation to each other. Using those equations, we can calculate tables of data that can predict what we will see on Earth, depending on location, during an eclipse as well as when they will happen and how long they last. (The next major solar eclipses over the U.S. will be in 2023 and 2024.)

Q: How often do eclipses happen?

A: A solar eclipse happens, on average, a couple times a year. The moon passes between the Earth and sun every 29 days, a time we call the “new moon” — when the moon is not visible in Earth’s nighttime sky. However, the moon’s orbit and the sun’s path in our sky don’t match up exactly, so at most of those new moon events, the moon appears above or below the sun.

Twice a year, though, there is a period where the moon and the sun line up with Earth — astronomers call this an eclipse season. It lasts about 34 days, long enough for the moon to complete a full orbit (and then some) of the Earth.

During each eclipse season, there are at least two eclipses visible from some parts of the Earth.

At the full moon, there will be a lunar eclipse, when the moon passes directly behind the Earth, resulting in a darker, reddish-colored moon. And at the new moon, there will be a solar eclipse, when the sun is blocked by the moon.

Q: Can we learn anything from eclipse events, or are they really just oddities that happen in nature?

A: We can definitely learn things from eclipses.

The outermost layer of the sun, known as the corona, is difficult to study because it’s less bright than the rest of the sun — so we have trouble seeing it amid the rest of the sun’s brightness.

When the moon blocks the sun, we can see the corona, the famous visual of the halo of light around the dark disk of the moon. Currently astronomers study this by creating an artificial

eclipse with a mask built into special instruments on telescopes called coronagraphs. This is great, but doesn’t allow the best pictures. Eclipses give scientists opportunities to get more data to study the corona in depth.

We can also learn about Earth itself. In an area affected by an eclipse, the darkening of the sun leads to a sudden drop in temperature. NASAfunded studies during this eclipse will look at the effects from the eclipse on our atmosphere as well as what happens on land. Previous studies observed animal behavior during an eclipse in 2001 and noted some animals went through their night routines as the sun disappeared while others became nervous.

And we can learn about the whole universe.

Less than 100 years ago, an eclipse proved a prediction Albert Einstein had made about gravity.

That success helped make him a household name.

In his general theory of relativity, Einstein had predicted that gravity could bend the path of light.

The effect he predicted was very slight, so it would best be viewed as the light passed a very large celestial body as part of its travels across a very long distance of space.

Sir Arthur Eddington, an astronomer who helped further the study of general relativity and whose work is a major piece of our modern understanding of stars and black holes, used the darkness provided by a solar eclipse to look at the position of the stars’ light during the day, when it passed the sun. He then compared those positions with their known positions at night. He saw that the gravity of the sun had bent the path — exactly as, and in the precise amount that, Einstein had predicted.

Q: How weird is it that the moon can basically exactly block out the sun?

A: It is very unusual that the moon and the sun just happen to be at the right distances and sizes to appear to have the same size in our sky.

This allows the moon to perfectly block the sun’s disk, while also showing us the corona. Venus and Mercury, for instance, can also pass in front of the sun from our perspective. However, they appear as small specks moving across the sun.

Q: What would someone standing on the moon see happen on Earth? Would Earth get dark?

A: If you were on the moon, you would be able to see the effects of the solar eclipse on Earth only if you were standing on the moon’s night side, the side facing the Earth. You would see a round shadow cast onto the Earth. This particular eclipse will first hit the Pacific Ocean, then move into Oregon, cross the U.S. to South Carolina and end in the Atlantic Ocean. This path the shadow takes is called the path of totality.

Creamed spinach, sweet potato croutons and a decadent Barolo wine sauce complement a thickcut Harris Ranch filet mignon. Diaz balances a crispy red snapper dish with cannellini beans, baby beets and a Pernod-saffron broth — another idea that came to him in his dreams.

With Ellina’s intimate, whitetablecloth dining room filled with a well-trained service staff that tends to your every need, dinner here is nothing short of perfection.

Ellina is what dreams — especially Diaz’s — are made of.

Not up for a more formal experience in the dining room? Opt for a bar seat, where you’ll get to know those eating around you as well as the bartender. The vibe at the bar is exciting and talkative — a great option for those dining alone who’d like to socialize over dinner.

Wherever you sit, make sure to get a wine suggestion from Jill Carnevale, the resident sommelier who has a passion for Italian wine.

Ellina’s list offers about 1,200 different wines, with plenty to offer from France, Italy and California.

Carnevale, who is Italian, worked an Italian grape harvest in 2016 where she touched the soil and experienced the vineyards, so she’s especially energized about indigenous Italian varietals at the moment.

“You never forget the story,” she says about experiencing a harvest for a particular wine. top: Honey-glazed pork belly with butternut squash puree, cipollini onion-pear chutney and toasted brioche. left: Jumbo scallops with sweet potato puree, crispy zucchini, oven-roasted tomato vinaigrette and Brussels sprouts. right: Harris Ranch filet mignon over creamed spinach and Barolo wine sauce, with oyster mushrooms and sweet potato croutons.

RMI35

MAY SELBY

FOUNDED IN 1982, Rocky Mountain Institute is headquartered in Basalt with offices in Boulder; New York City; Washington, D.C.; and Beijing. An independent, nonpartisan nonprofit, it now has approximately 170 full-time staff, annual operations of $35 million and a global reach and reputation. Their efforts include transforming global energy use to create a clean, prosperous and secure low-carbon future.

They marked a 35th anniversary this month with three significant events at the Basalt campus — starting with a board meeting Aug. 2, an inaugural Energy Innovation Summit on Aug. 3, followed by RMI35, a benefit evening.

The Energy Innovation Summit served as a unique gathering for a “dream team” of

David Fenton and Bill Joy. MarySue Bonetti photo.

Richlyn Pavcek and Elizabeth Sall.

60 energy experts and thought leaders to contribute to a robust conversation about the global energy transition, moderated by The New York Times’ columnist Tom Friedman.

President Bill Clinton arrived for a surprise visit, touring RMI’s Innovation Center, meeting with staff, joining the Summit luncheon, and offering an anniversary congratulations on camera for an upcoming video.

After the conclusion of the Energy Innovation Summit, all shifted to a celebratory mode, welcoming an additional 100 longtime RMI friends, partners and supporters to the RMI35 event — made possible thanks to the generous sponsorship of evening hosts listed on RMI’s website, including individuals, companies and foundations many of whom have a long history with RMI.

armchair conversation with RMI co-founder and chief scientist Amory Lovins and Tom Friedman “offered an inspirational message and validated that our collective work is more urgent than ever, and there is no better organization to get it done,” noted managing director Marty Pickett.

Dinner followed in tents overlooking the meadow and Roaring Fork River with riveting dialogue at each table, no doubt.

Overall, these events helped raise awareness of the important work by RMI, not to mention pull significant funds through philanthropic and collaborative commitments. To learn more about RMI, visit www.rmi.org.

ART OF WAR

GALLERY 8K SHOWCASES ARTWORK BY MILITARY VETERANS AN EVOCATIVE AND DIVERSE collection of artwork by American military veterans is currently on display at Aspen’s Gallery 8K on the Hyman Avenue mall.

There are essays to read, recorded music to listen to and a gallery full of visual art including sculpture, painting and photography. This “National Exhibit of Veteran Art” survey, presented by the Basalt-based nonprofit Challenge America, collects works from veterans across the U.S. and here in the Roaring Fork Valley from all branches of the military.

Dani Figueroa’s “Part of My Story” is one of the first things you see when you walk in the door of the slender gallery. At first glance, it appears to be a simple still-life of two pairs of shoes. Take a closer look, however, and you notice that one is a pair of military boots, the other a pair of Doc Martens.

“I wanted to depict the polarity between regimented and laissez faire,” Figueroa wrote in an artist statement (most of the works in this show include some words from the veteran artists). “The painting is also meant to capture visually the truth of me then and now.”

Figueroa first deployed in 2004 and stopped making art after life at war, but returned to a painting practice — like many in this show — through taking part in an art therapy program a decade later.

Painter and veteran Phyllis Miller has created three large-scale pieces for the show. Her “The Price of Freedom” is a gut punch of a painting.

It shows people frolicking in Central Park, but below the placid scene is an underground hellscape of war, fire and bloodied soldiers.

Miller calls it “a tribute to those of valor and to those who are among us with the nightmares of wars past and present, for the price of freedom.”

Jim Stevens, legally blind from combat injuries, distorts the viewer’s vision in his imaginative and meticulous works, including an acrylic painting made out of 1,000 strands of layered monofilament.

The center of the gallery is filled with sculptures of soldiers’ faces by Peter Buotte, who is in his 27th year of active duty in the U.S. Army and currently stationed at Fort Hood, where he found models for the pieces in the Aspen show.

Longtime local Dan Glidden shares evocative photographs from his time in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War. His photo “The Victors?” depicts a close-up of Vietnamese children he met in 1969.

“I look at these faces,” he says in his artist statement, “and wonder what happened to these children. Where are they now?”

Glidden’s work also includes an image of a church destroyed in the war and a dreamy shot of a military helicopter at sunset (titled “Riding Off

Into the Sunset”).

Challenge America, the nonprofit that organized this show, is aimed at connecting communities with veterans and building support for military families. The works here go a long way toward showing those of us who have not served the diversity of experiences and perspectives of our men and women in uniform. They’re required viewing. atravers@aspentimes.com

BOOK REVIEW

‘I KNOW A SECRET’ TESS GERRITSEN brings back Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles to tackle another baffling mystery in “I Know a Secret: a Rizzoli & Isles Novel,” weaving a thriller that slowly unfolds in unexpected ways.

Rizzoli and Isles feel like real people, and readers who are fans of either the book series or the former TV show know there’s an emotional angle to the proceedings and care about everything that happens to the duo.

“I Know a Secret” becomes a race to protect the remaining children who testified all those years ago from suffering a similar fate. And how do the crimes tie into the gruesome death of martyred saints?

Gerritsen writes effortlessly, and this is another stellar entry in the series.

They soon learn that the two victims knew each other when they were children and went to the same afterschool day care. The three people who ran it were prosecuted and imprisoned for doing horrible things to the children in their care. Rizzoli and Isles realize that one of them has recently been released from jail.
