1988

ON JULY 7, 1977, The Aspen Times made mention of the hype around what would become the biggest movie of the 1970s. The paper ran an image showing a line of people wrapped around the block trying to get into the Playhouse Theater on Main Street to see “Star Wars.” The caption in the newspaper reads: “The line stretched all the way around the corner at Spring and Main as people waited to view the newest movie sensation since ‘Jaws,’ ‘Star Wars,’ opening night at the Playhouse, July 1. The movie is scheduled to run through July 21.”

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

DRIVE IT: MINIVAN AS ‘FAMILY GEAR HAULER’? FOUR KIDS, six bikes, food, camping gear, and a dog — the impossible haul required for a family camping trip is doable, just barely, in a workaday Honda minivan. With the campsite booked and the bikes tuned, last month my wife and I prepared for a weekend of day hikes, singletrack and campfires after dark. But first we had to fit it all in the van. This was no small feat. The interior looked like a Tetris game, including a trunk area stacked to the ceiling. Bikes and bulky gear went on the exterior, with a cargo box, tray mounts and a hitch-rack on back. We turned to Yakima for a roof system. The no-brainer first step was a gear box. The ShowCase 15 model added its namesake 15 cubic feet of cargo space on the roof. It was easy to install and could be used on round, aero, factory and square crossbars. It opens on either side and swallows up tents, shoes, bike helmets, camp chairs and all the other things that didn’t fit inside. At $679, it’s a lux hauler, made in the USA, and it should last for years. Yakima’s FrontLoader racks ($189 each) let you leave both wheels on a bike when it’s mounted on the roof. We put a pair on the minivan and hoisted the kids’ bikes high. The design clamps the rear wheel to the tray and cradles the front wheel in adjustable arms. There is no contact with the bike frame, so you don’t worry about rubbing and wear. The system holds bikes upright when loading — a nice feature while we adjusted the rack mechanism before hitting the road. A final piece of our family-hauling puzzle, on the back of the minivan was a massive four-bike mount. This combo product — Yakima’s HoldUp and HoldUp +2 units — creates a horizontal docking station that seats four bikes in a row. All kinds of arms, buckles, locks, cables, hinges and pins are involved in the octopus-like contraption. It’s heavy and hard to fold up and down with one person, though it’s a breeze with two. One important tip: Be careful with bike handlebars on this setup. Wide bars on a bike mounted in the first tray can contact the rear window of

a vehicle if you hit a bump. As a combo, the HoldUp and HoldUp +2 costs nearly $800. It’s an expensive beast. But it takes a beast to haul the eight wheels and four bike frames for which it was made. The max load is 240 pounds, which is more than enough for almost any combination of bikes. Overall, the Yakima setup has been clutch for getting the kids, bikes and gear far from home and into the woods. The components are not cheap. But we required a specialized setup and huge capacity for all the toys and the extra gear my family sees requisite for camp. Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

WINEINK

IN THE VINEYARDS ... THE VINES ARE THE FOUNDATION

“YOU’VE GOT TO STRESS the vines if you want them to produce quality fruit,” said the winemaker as he explained the need to put his vines through the tumult necessary to get maximum nutrients to the grapes. He sounded like a father who was espousing the philosophy of “spare the rod, spoil the child.” But in fact he is correct. Great KELLY J. wine comes from HAYES stressed vines. All over the Northern Hemisphere, vineyards are currently being harvested for the 2016 vintage. From the Napa Valley to the millions of newly planted acres in China to the fabled chateau of Bordeaux, it is the busiest time of year in the vineyards. Getting grapes from the vines and into the wineries with alacrity is the key. While the focus is on the grapes, the vines that host them are the foundation of the process. These are the “trees” that foster the production of the grapes and nurture them through the seasons until they are finally ready to give birth, if you will, to the new year’s vintage. ROOTSTOCK

The root of the vine, no pun intended, is the rootstock that is used to create the foundation for that vine. This rootstock is the part of the vine that is planted and exists underground and forms the main line of the vine, the stalk. The actual plant material, or the budwood, that grows the grapes are generally grafted, or spliced, onto the rootstock. The selection of quality rootstock is the first and perhaps most important decision a winemaker makes. The rootstock must be drought-resistant, impervious to disease and repellant to pests. This is part of the science of viticulture, and if you don’t get the right stock, then your vineyard will not only not produce quality grapes — it may wither and die.

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

Perhaps the most famous case of rootstock causing a disaster in the wine industry occurred in France in the late 1800s, when an epidemic of phylloxera overran the vineyards of France. A tiny bug or insect, phylloxera began to feed on the roots of the vines in the great vineyards that did not have natural defenses against them. The epidemic had the potential to wipe out the grapegrowing industry in all of Europe if a solution were not found. It was the realization that using rootstock from America that was resistant to the pests would provide the answer. American rootstock was shipped to Europe and cuttings from the original vines were grafted upon them, thus saving an industry and creating a firm foundation for what are generally considered the world’s greatest vineyards. It was the grafting of the existing Vitis vinifera, the various European species of wine grapes that make wines like chardonnay and pinot noir, onto the rootstock that allowed this transformation to happen. Healthy roots supported the grapes and made for a stronger, more efficient plant. THE LIFE OF A VINE

It generally takes two to three years or so before a newly planted vine will begin bearing enough fruit for making wines. And, early on in the life of the vine, the grapes may lack the flavor and structure that will emerge as the vines mature. The average vine, if adequately cared for throughout each season, may provide 20 to 30 years of solid production before it begins to show signs of aging. That aging may show itself in a reduction of annual yields. But that does not mean they are of a lesser quality. In fact, many believe that old vines produce fruit of greater concentration and character. That the stress of aging, coupled with the way in which vines adopt a relationship with the soils in which they are planted, accounts for the nuances of many great

S e pte m b e r 22 - S e pte m b e r 2 8, 20 16

This, they say, is the world’s oldest wine vine. It is located in Maribor in Slovenia and is reputed to be over 4 centuries old.

wines. Of course, the value of vine age on flavor and structure applies mostly to red wines, and grapes like zinfandel, grenache and mourvedre seem to benefit the most from aged vines. While just about everything in the world of wine is subject to some sort of law or regulation about its origin, there is, interestingly, no actual definition, legal or otherwise, about how old the vines are that produce wines labeled “old vine.” It has become a marketing term for many wines that are grown on vines that are, say, 30 to 40 years old. But there are vineyards around the world

that produce wines from vines that are over 100 years old. Next time you take a sip, consider the vine. It is the foundation of your wine. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-bedesignated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and black Lab named Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.

The Oakley vineyards in Contra Costa County, south of San Francisco, were planted over 100 years ago. They produce the fruit that Cline winemaker Charlie Tsegeletos sources for this 85 percent Zinfandel blend that sees some petite sirah and carignane as well. This wine is a bargain and is made from a place and a piece of California history.

THE WORLD’S OLDEST VINE THE MARIBOR VINE Here in the U.S., we have a number of vineyards that date back to the 1880s, with most in Amador and Sonoma Counties. But if you want to taste wine from the oldest living vine, then book a trip to Maribor in northeast Slovenia for its annual Old Vine Festival. According to the Guinesss Book of Records, a vine there is over 400 years old and still produces enough Žametovka, a red regional grape, to make wine with each harvest. The wine is largely ceremonial, and the 250-mililiter bottles of wine, about a third the size of an actual bottle, are distributed to foreign dignitaries ranging from popes to presidents to prime ministers.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

PUCKER UP ...

LEMON TREATS, TWO DIFFERENT WAYS

I LOVE DESSERT. I ALSO love being healthy. My four kiddos also love sweets. So over the years, I’ve created some great strategies for getting some dessert in our lives while also honoring our bodies, which frankly do not need as much sugar as our palates seem to crave. If you (or your family) loves baked goods, too, go ahead and preheat that oven and listen in — I’ve got some tips for keeping dessert alive while staying reasonable. First: Make your own. I have a lot more leeway with homemade treats than for the packaged and processed versions from the store. Not only can I manage what is going in them (so I reduce sugar, skip preservatives and artificial stuff ), but making my own baked treats puts a minimum half-hour buffer between me and a pan of brownies, which means we all will eat treats mindfully, instead of grabbing a box of cookies and nibbling my way through them unnoticed while watching an episode of “The Goldbergs.” Second healthy dessert tip: Cut up small portions of treats and serve them on a tray alongside a healthier “open quantity” option. For instance, I may place a large bowl of clementines or lowfat Greek yogurt on the table next to a plate of homemade banana bread cut into small squares. Diluting the baked goodie with a protein or fiber-filled option is a low-stress way to make dessert

healthier for the whole family. Third tip: invest in a confectioners’ sugar duster and fill it up with organic powdered sugar. Even a tiny dusting of powdered sugar fools our palates into thinking something is sweeter than it is, simply because it’s visible. I can sprinkle a bran muffin with the lightest coating of powdered sugar and my kids think they’ve scored a cupcake. Finally, a tip just for the adults: Drink espresso with a chunk of dark chocolate or a small finger of homemade cake (like this

week’s Earl Grey lemon teacakes) for dunking — the deep roasted flavor of espresso coupled with just a little sweet makes a surprisingly satisfying, and sophisticated, dessert. EARL GREY LEMON TEACAKES Start to finish: 40 minutes Servings: 14 1/4 cup coconut oil, soft, but not melted (pop in freezer for a few minutes if needed) 1 tablespoon Earl Grey tea leaves, pounded to a coarse powder (use a small plastic bag and mallet or heavy spoon) 1 tablespoon lemon zest 1/4 cup light agave syrup (or 1⁄3 cup sugar) 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt Confectioners’ sugar for decoration, optional

In a medium bowl, whip coconut oil, Earl Grey leaves, lemon zest and agave syrup using a hand mixer until well-blended and light. Add the eggs one at time and mix well with mixer in between. Add the vanilla and lemon juice and mix well. In a small bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then pour in half the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix very briefly. Add the second half of the flour and mix just until blended. Do not overmix. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until cake springs back after pressing lightly with your finger, about 25-30 minutes. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan, and then remove to let cool completely on a rack. Cut into 14 fingers and sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar (optional) and serve. — MD

Preheat the oven to 325 F. Line bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.

And someone else’s failure to appreciate them can be met with shock and confusion. Lemon tarts, or lemon bars as they are also known, are such a baked good. People who love them, love them. I once spent a long time making my grandfather a chocolate cake from a famous recipe, and after he finished his slice, he said to me, “You know what I like?” “What?” I said (expecting a compliment on the rich filling, the moist cake, something like that). “Lemon,” he said wistfully. The filling in these squares, or bars, is a bit tart — I don’t see the point of too-sweet lemon squares — but not confrontational. Adding a couple tablespoons of heavy cream offers a silkier texture to the filling, and a smoother citrus experience. Sometimes lemon zest is added to the filling, and while I love the extra burst of citrus,

I’m more in love with a super smooth filling, so I skip it. But you can add a teaspoon or so of zest if you like. If you want to gild the lily, serve these with some sweetened whipped cream on the side. These lemon squares can be stored at room temperature for a day or in the refrigerator for several days, in a tightly covered container with a piece of wax or parchment paper between each layer. Don’t dust them with confectioners’ sugar until just before serving. LEMON SQUARES Start to finish time: Servings: Makes 15 large squares Crust 11/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (13/4 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces Filling 5 large eggs 21/2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons heavy cream 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Preheat the oven to 325 F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch pan or spray it with nonstick cooking spray, and line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper cut to fit cleanly on the bottom of the pan but hang over the two long sides (you will use this to lift out the squares once they are baked and cooled). In a food processor, combine the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal (or you can cut the butter into the flour mixture in a bowl using two knives, a pastry cutter or your fingers). Transfer the mixture to the pan and press it evenly into the bottom. Bake 15 to 18 minutes until golden and a bit firm to the touch. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the eggs and granulated sugar, and whisk or beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the lemon juice and cream, and then beat in the flour, until very smooth. When the crust is golden and set, pour in the filling, return the pan to the oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until it doesn’t jiggle at all when you gently shake the pan. Let cool completely on a wire rack to room temperature. Run a knife around the edge of

the pan, and cut the bars into 15 (or more) squares. Remove the bars with a spatula, or carefully use the overhanging edges of the parchment to smoothly lift out the lemon bars. Place the 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar into a small sieve and dust it over the lemon bars just before serving. — KW

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

STRANGE BREWS In anticipation of next month’s Great American Beer Festival in Denver, I’ve been trying to get up to speed on the latest industry news. And this headline from The Associated Press’ Philip Marcelo caught my eye: “Who wants to drink that dirty water?” Apparently, folks in the Boston area. On Oct. 1, some of New England’s leading breweries will see who can turn the questionable water of Boston’s Charles River into the tastiest suds. Six area breweries have signed on for the first ever “Brew the Charles” challenge, a highlight of HUBweek, a weeklong Boston-area festival celebrating innovation in art, science and technology. According to Nadav Efraty, CEO of Desalitech, a Massachusetts water treatment company that’s sponsoring the competition, the idea is to spotlight the importance of water conservation and water-saving technologies. Desalitech pulled about 4,000 gallons of water from the river and treated it in one of its reverse osmosis systems; the water arrived last month at Boston Beer Co. (the makers of Samuel Adams), Cape Ann Brewing Co., Castle Island Brewing Co., Harpoon Brewery, Idle Hands Craft Ales and Ipswich Ale Brewery. “We’ve had tons of people ask us if it’s safe to drink, if it will make them glow and so on,” said Adam Romanow, founder of Castle Island Brewing. “But I enjoyed one and I’m not glowing. So I think it’s safe to say that not only can you drink this beer, but you’re going to want to.” We’ll make a toast to that (and then drink the beers we know and love at the GABF).

THE NEW HOTEL JEROME Residences at The Mill debuted this summer, celebrating its completion with private events. Among them was an open house and cocktail party held on Aug. 4 for real estate brokers, clients, media and others involved in the development. Rudin West, the developer behind the project, partnered with Auberge Resorts Collection and Hotel Jerome, offering the services of the iconic hotel to owners of the four residences in the Mill building, set just behind the Jerome at 201 N. Mill St. In addition to the three-bedroom free-market residential units, the five-story Mill building also has four employee housing units and approximately 10,000 square feet of commercial space.

On the rainy summer evening, as guests arrived, they were instantly whisked to one of the property’s penthouses for hors d’oeuvres from Hotel Jerome executive chef Rob Zack, a welcome from project developer Michael Rudin of Rudin West Architects and an invitation to tour the residence’s interior and exterior space. Chef Zack’s appetizers included Colorado peach crostini, heirloom tomato flatbread and Colorado lamb skewers with pea and mint tabouli. Owners at The Jerome Residences have the culinary team at the hotel at their reach to cater private events or for in-room dining requests Gyles Thornely with Connect One Design provided landscaping for the building’s 2,000-square-foot green roof with what he

referred to as a “mountain mix” — a blend of vegetation that can handle full sun to full shade exposure. Thornely offered tours of the roof, noting this type of landscaping has been around for 20 years, but has truly evolved in the just the past five. The result is a vibrant and colorful appearance that’s easy on the eye while also providing xeric plants and smart irrigation that are environmentally efficient among other sustainable benefits. Owners at the Jerome Residences at The Mill enjoy an amenity package including concierge, grocery and housekeeping services, ski concierge, transportation and access to the Hotel Jerome pool and gym, spa access and treatment discounts, as well as in-room dining service and preferential rates at the hotel’s F&B outlets, including Prospect and the J-Bar. Owners also receive membership to Auberge Resort Collection’s reciprocity program and may opt-in to benefit from the rental reservation system. For more information, visit www.themillaspen.com.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

There are about 30 Large Black heritage pigs on the farm. This is one of the older males.

ALL IN THE FAMILY

HOW ONE FAMILY BROUGHT THEIR RANCH TO LIFE AND INVITED THE COMMUNITY IN EVERYONE WHO COMES to stay in this valley has an intriguing story. There’s something about this beautiful place that drew them in, kept them here and made them call it home. For the Johnson family, which includes Randy, Pam and their daughter, Merrill, what brought them here two decades ago was an BARBARA PLATTS overwhelming sense of love for the land, the community and, perhaps most of all, one another. They are the owners of Merrill’s Family Farm, which sits on Cedar Ridge Ranch, a sweeping 67 acres in Missouri Heights just outside Carbondale. The Johnsons have owned this land for about 20 years. The property was mostly used as an equestrian boarding and training facility. However, in the past five years, it’s started undergoing a rather dramatic transformation, removing a somewhat exclusive air about it

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

and, instead, embracing the community. They’ve conducted this transformation in several ways. It started five years ago with a compost program, turning horse manure, hay and sawdust into usable soil, which they then sell to gardens and other farms that are actively growing vegetables. After that came the piggies, Large Black heritage pigs, to be exact. They currently have

S e pte m b e r 22 - S e pte m b e r 2 8, 20 16

about 30 of them. Following that, the Johnsons turned half of the stalls in their stable into creative spaces for local artists, which practice in media that range from photography and filmmaking to floral design and screen-printing. This last spring, two greenhouses were built that are now home to Erin’s Acres and Cedar Ridge Permaculture (more on those later). And, most recently, two “farm stay” options were established

(see sidebar for more information), and farm tours and educational workshops were started. These changes have not happened by mistake. It’s been a highly concerted effort by Merrill and her parents. “I wanted to see this property be served and given its highest and best purpose,” Merill said. “This property is of the utmost importance to me. It’s very much in my heart. I feel that it has so much to share with our community and to lend and to inspire.” When you meet Merrill, who is 27 years old, it’s obvious how passion and love drive her every action. This isn’t simply a vocation for her and her parents. This is their life. And they put every drop of effort into making it the best life it can be. However, this was not always the case. When the family first moved to the valley 20 years ago, Randy and Pam were leaving big corporate jobs in Chicago. Although they changed ZIP codes, Randy still had a highly demanding investment-banking job

by BARBARA PLATTS

in the city. He had to deal daily with the “rat race,” as he puts it. He was away from the valley about 80 percent of the time on business. When he was home, Merrill said he constantly had computer screens in front of him. Randy was stressed. He would buy fishing gear and never use it because he was so focused on providing for his family. This was all until the economy tanked, which Merrill said brought them closer as a family, making Randy realize that monetary value was a far cry from what his loved ones considered important. “We didn’t see him as money signs; we saw him as our father,” Merrill said. “Once he realized that we didn’t want just money from him and that we wanted him to be at the dinner table and to love us, … he realized he was so much more.” In many respects, the transformation of Merrill’s Family Farm mirrors that of Randy’s. Today, spending much more time on the farm, he knows that he is full of riches. “I’m very wealthy because I’ve got the love of my life and my daughter and my friends, … so I’m a pretty wealthy

guy,” Randy said. Pam and Merrill both agree that he has changed immensely. “He’s a totally different guy, and it’s been pretty amazing,” Merrill said. “So to do this all together means the world to us.” The growth of Merrill’s Family Farm has happened quite naturally over the past five years. Out of all the additions, two that have gained a great deal of traction include the greenhouses that greet visitors near the entry gate to the property. Erin’s Acres is a small farm that is run by Erin Cuseo. Next door is Cedar Ridge Permaculture, headed by Zachary Paris. Both broke ground on their ventures in April. Erin has had a great deal of experience farming in other locations. However, this was her first summer on Cedar Ridge Ranch. In this first warm season, she provided 25 community-supported-agriculture shares and sold her crop at the Basalt Sunday Market and the Carbondale Evening Farmers Market (both of which have one or more days left in the season). Zachary, who is a Roaring Fork

Valley native, started Cedar Ridge Permaculture to have a place where environmental learning and growth could occur. Being very passionate about the environment and working with the land and animals, he is regenerating the soil and creating a more diverse, resilient small farm through a whole-systems approach. Both Zachary and Erin hope to grow their ventures in the coming seasons, which is possible, in part, because of the land that Pam, Randy and Merrill can provide. “The Johnsons are a really good example of what landowners and ranch owners can and should be doing, which is creating opportunities for people like myself to do what I love but also enriching our community,” Erin said. “They are doing a really good job with that.” The strategies the Johnsons have implemented to bring the community to their farm are vast, and they seem to be working. Pam, who also has one of the creative spaces for her ceramics work, said that they have had visitors to the farm from all over the country. Many of them have never had the experience of a farm stay before. She estimates the visitors have come from a total of 60 cities thus far. “It’s wonderful for us because it

keeps us young,” Pam said. “No one is trying to judge anybody. There isn’t room for arrogance. There’s just a wonderful community.” This welcoming philosophy applies to more than just the humans. Every living being on the farm is taken care of respectfully from birth until death, from the weeds in the ground that are never handled with pesticides to the pigs that are humanely harvested on-site. “Waste, in general, is not waste. It’s energy,” Merrill said. “Nothing is inherently good or bad or evil. It’s the idea that everything is evolving and working together.” So, what’s next for Merrill’s Family Farm? Well, as Merrill puts it, diversifying is always important. They hope to expand the creative spaces even more and make the farm a venue for events such as weddings. Perhaps one day the creative spaces will even be set up as a one-stop shop for a bride and groom, a place where they can connect with all of the artists for flowers, video, photography, invitations and more on their big day. And Merrill and her parents hope it will continue to grow as a place where people can remember what’s good and important in life. “Sometimes we have trouble being in the moment, feeling each heartbeat, feeling each breath. We have trouble just sitting back and really enjoying this place and space that we call life,” Merrill said. “I think this is just a really wonderful way of getting people back in that space. And hopefully they can take that feeling home and try to recreate it.” To learn more about Merrill’s Family Farm and the wonderful work they’re doing, go to www.cedarridgeranch.com. Barbara Platts is very thankful to the Johnson family for helping her get back to that space when she visited the property a couple of weeks ago. She highly recommends visiting the farm and experiencing it. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

ARILE & MATANDA

“Gun Runners,” a decade in the making, offers an intimate profile of two Kenyan men on their transformative journey from lives as gun-toting outlaws to a race-training program and beyond. Julius Arile and Robert Matanda fought among the violent bands of cattle rustlers roving the bush in northern Kenya, stealing cattle and raiding ranches to make a living. The men traded in their illegal AK-47s as part of a government-run amnesty program. In exchange, they received running shoes and race training. The pair had grown close as outlaws. At the outset of the film, Arile, a reluctant warrior, has already given up his gun. Matanda, who had commanded 500 men and become an infamous rustler, is resistant to disarming. “To surrender the gun is not easy,” Matanda says in the film. “I killed, I stole the cows. It’s better for me to stay in the bush.” Asked how many people he has killed, Matanda closes his eyes and goes silent. He eventually follows Arile to train and compete in the Tegla Larube Peace Race. From there, the pair’s paths diverge and the film follows them over the ups and downs of eight years. The result is not just a feel-good sports movie or a journalistic exposé about guns in Africa, but a transcendent piece of storytelling and a nuanced portrait of two fascinating and complicated men. Arile gets a manager and begins running in international competitions, training alongside Kenyan world champions while also stepping on to the global stage to tackle the issue of small arms proliferation in Africa. He goes to the United Nations, where he is greeted by Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and wins the Run Until Violence Stops race in New York City. Yet he struggles to win prize money and to develop his elite talent because he doesn’t follow training plans, and clashes with his family about his running. Matanda’s talent doesn’t immediately thrust him onto the global stage. He stays at home, becoming a community leader and political campaigner and focusing on educating his children. Meanwhile, he grows jealous of Arile. “He abandoned me. … He forgot the warriors, the community,” Matanda says. “He’s forgotten completely.” Both men have internal conflicts to overcome before they can reconcile with one another and with the peaceful lives they’re trying to embrace. Produced by the National Film Board of Canada and directed by Montrealborn, Nairobi-based filmmaker Anjali Nayar, “Gun Runners” premiered earlier this year at the Hot Docs Festival in Toronto and has its U.S. premiere at the Aspen Filmfest on Friday, Sept. 23. Nayar says she found a universal story in these two men as they made

their way out of the bush but still struggled to make a better life for themselves and their families. “Whatever our dream is or our path, there are going to be obstacles and the biggest of those are within us,” Nayar said via Skype from Nairobi. “It’s about what it takes to change our lives, what the dream is, what holds us back and what propels us forward.”

“I don’t want to hear about politics! It has finished all our money.” Nayar, Arile and Matanda watched the film together in Nairobi in the spring. At its conclusion, she recalls, she asked them if she had made any mistakes in telling their story. “[Arile] said, ‘You didn’t make any mistakes, we were the ones that

made mistakes,’” she recalls. “And Matanda said, ‘I was so busy looking at Arile and he was so busy looking at me that we both ended up going backwards.’ … It wasn’t about how they were perceived or how I treated them, it was more about the truth and what they could learn from it.” Arile is aiming for a top 10 finish

FRIEND & FILMMAKER

The director first met Arile and Matanda on the finish line of a peace race in northern Kenya. “They were these two characters that were just larger than life,” she recalls. They described to her how they developed their running skills: by fleeing from police and fellow warriors while rustling cattle, sometimes running as far as 100 kilometers. Fascinated, Nayar dug deeper. “I don’t think I was like, ‘Yes, it’s going to be a film,’” she says. “At the time it was more like, ‘Wow, I want to know more.’ … It wasn’t until later that I actually realized we were making a film.” Working as a journalist at the time, she befriended the men, got to know their families, and traveled to see them on weekends. In 2012, she collected the audio and video she’d recorded over the years and began crafting it into what would become “Gun Runners.” Kenyan novelist Binyavanga Wainana — who has several times been a guest of Aspen Words — served as a story consultant. As the film tells Arile’s and Matanda’s stories, it’s evident that they are extraordinarily charismatic men, but also quite proud. The road to redemption in “Gun Runners” is a rocky one for both of them. The rich, and often unflattering, detail in “Gun Runners” is the result of years Nayar spent getting to know them and earning their trust. “I had the luxury of time to follow these men and to be intimate without being pushy,” she says. Because Nayar put in those years to build relationships with the men, she brings some revelatory personal moments to the screen. For instance, as Arile struggles in early international competition and fails to bring home prize money for his family, his siblings and mother hold a meeting where they berate him for not contributing to the family income. His mother mocks the trophies he’s brought home. “You bring us these things and we wonder, how do you eat such things?” she asks him. And Matanda, with a failing maize crop and foundering political fortunes, has to go to his children’s school and explain why he can’t pay their tuition. His wife, Stella, admonishes him:

in next month’s Toronto Waterfront Marathon, following the film’s Oct. 7 theatrical release in Canada. Bond/360 will distribute the film in the U.S. Plans for a worldwide on-demand release have yet to be announced.

A TRAGIC POSTSCRIPT

Tragedy struck just before “Gun Runners” began making its way to a global audience. In April, Matanda and his wife were killed in a bus accident while traveling home from Nairobi, where they watched the film with Arile and Nayana. The Matandas’ 4-year-old daughter, Anjali (named after the filmmaker) was injured but survived. All seven of the Matanda children — five of them still school-aged — were orphaned. Nayana and the creative team behind “Gun Runners” have since mobilized to take care of the children, providing them with art therapy and starting

a trust fund to pay for their medical care and education. A related and ongoing GoFundMe campaign has raised $15,000 toward its $28,000 goal. Nayana has sometimes taken the five young Matanda children into her home in Nairobi during school breaks. “It’s been a really hard year,” Nayana says. “There was this transition that happened from the loss to the realization of how I could help and how I would need to step up and for our entire team to step up.” Having spent 10 years with Matanda, his extended family and his community, Nayana knew the children would be on their own following the accident and that, without monetary support, they would lose the education that Matanda had sought to provide them. “It was clear to me that the children would not be cared for by the family,” she explains. “We’re doing everything we can to make sure that they feel loved and that they’re cared for.” atravers@aspentimes.com

‘GUN RUNNERS’ ASPEN: FRIDAY, SEPT. 23, 2:30 P.M. CARBONDALE: FRIDAY, SEPT. 23, 5:30 P.M. A complex and immersive profile of two Kenyan men who give up their guns for a chance to train as competitive runners, this documentary – shot over eight years – is a revelatory look at the long journey to get to the starting line. The movie has its U.S. premiere in Aspen.

‘LOVESONG’ ASPEN: FRIDAY, SEPT. 23, 8:15 P.M. Jena Malone and Riley Keough give extraordinary, though subtle, performances in this perceptive and restrained drama from director Soyong Kim. The film, which premiered at Sundance in January, quietly dissects the complicated emotional relationship between two 20-somethings as they stumble into adulthood.

‘THE SALESMAN’ ASPEN: SATURDAY, SEPT. 24, 8:15 P.M. CARBONDALE: SUNDAY, SEPT. 25, 5:15 P.M. Winner of two awards at Cannes and Iran’s nominee for the Best Foreign Film Oscar, this revenge tale and psychological thriller is the latest from acclaimed director Asghar Farhadi, who Filmfest programmer Rachel Chanoff calls “one of the most exciting directors of this generation.” — Andrew Travers

VOYAGES

DESTINATION | CONNECTICUT

A DAY IN NEW HAVEN: ART, BELLS AND OF COURSE PIZZA

YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO to Yale to have fun in New Haven. Best of all, you don’t have to pay Ivy League tuition prices. New Haven has lots of top-notch free attractions, from art museums to carillon concerts — though you will have to pay to try the city’s famous pizza. MUSEUMS

There are two outstanding art museums near campus. At 1111 Chapel St., the Yale University Art Gallery’s collection includes Joseph Stella’s kaleidoscopic “Brooklyn Bridge,” Van Gogh’s desolate “Night Cafe,” a Yosemite landscape by Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Hart Benton’s “Weighing Cotton,” a 1939 depiction of African-American children and others in a field with bags of harvested cotton resembling bleached bones. The Yale Center for British Art, 1080 Chapel St., offers works going back centuries, from portraits and landscapes, including masterpieces by J.M.W. Turner, to exotic depictions of Britain’s farflung colonial empire. An exciting contemporary gallery features artists like Damien Hirst and

David Hockney. Through Dec. 11, contemporary exhibitions include a show themed on Britain’s colonial legacy by British Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare, who uses waxprinted fabric as a symbol of global trade and imperialism. Shonibare’s work is paired with art by other Brits exploring racial identity, including Chris Ofili’s etchings of black men in feathered ruffs. Also on Chapel Street, The Study at Yale boutique hotel offers stylish accommodations. ARCHITECTURE

Both art museums are housed in important modernist buildings by famed architect Louis Kahn with sleek glass and steel exteriors. The gallery’s lobby ceiling is composed of complex tetrahedron shapes, while the British museum galleries are suffused with natural light. Another stunning building, the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, 121 Wall St., just reopened after renovations. Inside, light filters serenely through marble panels, softly illuminating the colored stone’s veins. A six-story glass tower houses thousands of antique volumes. Exhibits include

a Gutenberg Bible and Audubon’s “Birds of America.” In contrast to these modern structures, most campus buildings are Gothic-revival style, with towers, turrets and arches. Depending on your frame of reference, they’ll remind you of Harry Potter or Oxford. BELLS

Yale’s Guild of Carillonneurs plays everything from hymns to Broadway tunes on the 54 bells inside Harkness Tower. The magical tones ring out from the tower at 74 High St. twice daily, for a half-hour at 12:30 p.m. and an hour at 5:30 p.m. Request a tower tour at http:// www.yalecarillon.org . FOOD

New Haven is famous for pizza, with a longtime rivalry between Sally’s Apizza, 237 Wooster St., and Frank Pepe, 157 Wooster. Pepe’s opens at 11 a.m., Sally’s at 4 p.m., so you can sample both in one day. Both serve delicious thin-crust pizza made in coal-fired ovens, and both offer tomato pies as well as regular mozzarella cheese pizza (small pies, $9). Pepe’s is a bit

spiffier than Sally’s and also serves an excellent salad of seasonal greens. Students like Yorkside Pizza, which is closer to campus, 288 York St. New Haven has lots of metered street parking, but watch where you park on Wooster Street. I didn’t notice signs requiring residential permits, and got a $30 ticket near Sally’s. Other popular eateries include Claire’s Corner Copia, a vegetarian cafe, 1000 Chapel St.; Union League Cafe, a French restaurant, 1032 Chapel St.; and Miya’s Sushi, 68 Howe St., whose chef is a James Beard-award nominee. Louis Lunch, 263 Crown St., originated as a lunch wagon in 1895 and was recognized by the Library of Congress as the U.S. birthplace of the hamburger. Burgers are cooked medium-rare in antique cast-iron gas grills, served on white toast. I’d heard that Louis doesn’t have ketchup, but just in case, I asked if I could get ketchup with a to-go order. “It’s in the bag,” the counterman said. “So it’s a myth that you don’t have ketchup?” I asked. “It’s not in the bag,” he admitted. “But I didn’t want to yell at you.” It wasn’t in the bag. HISTORY

The Puritans founded New Haven in 1638 and laid the city out on a grid with nine squares. The central commons, New Haven Green, is a downtown park and National Historic Landmark. Yale has been here since 1718. The Grove Street Cemetery, 227 Grove St., (open 9 a.m., last entry 3:30 p.m.), dates to 1796. Many old stones bear no

inscription, the words worn away over time. Notables buried here include Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin. A white marker memorializes several Africans who died in New Haven after being imprisoned for a rebellion and takeover of the Amistad slave ship in 1839. Slavery’s legacy is still shaking things up in New Haven. You may encounter student protesters asking Yale to change the name of Calhoun College because alumnus John C. Calhoun was a strong defender of slavery.

EAST ROCK PARK

Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, a tower near the summit of East Rock Park, can be seen from all over New Haven. The 1887 tower honors those who died in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War and the Civil War. East Rock Park is a heavily

ABOVE: Harkness Tower, on the campus of Yale University. A carillon concert is given twice daily at 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 with the tower’s 54 bells ringing out music ranging from hymns to Elton John and Broadway tunes.

By this Application, Applicant is not seeking a new water right or to expand the decreed amount or use of the water rights identified in this Application, but rather Applicant is requesting a determination that the scope and content of the existing decree entered in Case No. 89CW282, includes reservoir refill, as more fully set forth herein below. A final determination regarding this Application may impact Case No. 2014CW3179 that is currently pending before the Division 5 Water Referee. By Order dated August 23, 2016, the Court granted a stay of Case No. 2014CW3179 during the pendency of this action. Names of structures: This Application applies to the Maroon Creek Development Corporation Reservoir No. 1, Maroon Creek Development Corporation Reservoir No. 2, Maroon Creek Development Corporation Reservoir No. 3, and Maroon Creek Development Corporation Reservoir No. 4, all as set forth in Case No. 89CW282. Legal descriptions: All as set forth in Case No. 89CW282: Maroon Creek Development Corporation Reservoir No. 1: situated in Section 11, Township 10 South, Range 85 West, 6th P.M., the dam outlet being located in the NW1/4 NW1/4 of said Section 11, at a point 1,040 feet south of the North line of said Section 11, and 620 feet east of the West line of said Section 11.

Names, capacities, and legal descriptions of points of diversion of ditches used to fill reservoirs: As set forth in Case No. 89CW282: Willow Creek Ditch, with a capacity of 10 c.f.s., with the headgate located in Section 21, Township 10 South, Range 85 West, 6th P.M., at a point whence the NE corner of Section 21, Township 10 South, Range 85 West, 6th P.M. bears North 31 degrees, 30 minutes East, a distance of 2,700 feet; and Herrick Ditch, with a capacity of 60.86 c.f.s., with headgate located in Section 33, at a point whence the North quarter corner of Section 22, Township 10 South, Range 85 West, 6th P.M. bears North 31 degrees 55 minutes East, a distance of 13,862.05 feet. Date of appropriation: As set forth in Case No. 89CW282: The date of initiation of appropriation is December 22, 1989, for each of the Maroon Creek Development Corporation Reservoir Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Uses: As set forth in Case No. 89CW282: The use of water for all of the reservoirs is domestic, commercial, irrigation, recreation, and fish and wildlife. (Such uses were later modified by decree making each reservoir absolute in Case No. 99CW284.) Remarks: As set forth in Case No. 89CW282: The reservoirs may be filled and refilled in priority, as needed. Purpose of current application and description of ruling sought: Applicant seeks an order from the Court confirming that the Judgment and Decree entered in Case No. 89CW282 for the Maroon Creek Development Corporation Reservoir Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 includes reservoir refill. The Court has authority to grant the relief requested herein under the Water Right Determination and Administration Act, C.R.S. § 37-92-101, et seq. Southern Ute Indian Tribe v. King Consol. Ditch Co., 250 P.3d 1226, 1237 (Colo. 2011) (“An applicant who holds a prior adjudicated decree may file an application with the water court for review and determination of the scope and content of the prior decree.”). Indeed, the Colorado Supreme Court held that applications like this one qualify as an application for “determination of a water right” under C.R.S. § 37-92-302(1)(a). Id. at 1234. Applicant requests an order from the Court confirming that the Judgment and Decree (hereinafter, the “Decree”) issued in Case No. 89CW282 (hereinafter, the “Original Case”) for the Maroon Creek Development Corporation Reservoir Nos. 1-4 includes reservoir refill under the priority decreed in that case. The Decree is silent on the matter of refill. See Judgment and Decree, attached hereto as Exhibit A. However, the application and amended application filed in the Original Case included the claim that “the reservoirs will be filled and refilled, in priority, as needed.” See Amended Application for Storage Rights, at ¶ 11, attached hereto as Exhibit B. Statements of claim are admissible to construe or interpret a water court decree. In re Water Rights of Central Colo. Water Conservancy Dist., 147 P.3d 9, 16-17 (Colo. 2006) (quoting New Mercer Ditch Co. v. Armstrong, 21 Colo. 357, 362, 40 P. 989, 990 (1895), “‘statements may be likened to a pleading upon which a judgment is based, and they are proper to be introduced along with the decree to enable the court to interpret or constrain [a decree] in the light of the claimant’s own assertion of his demand’”). Additionally, water courts “may examine documents and take evidence about the facts and circumstances surrounding entry of a decree, in order to determine the decree’s setting, intent, meaning, and effect when adjudicating the applicant’s water use right . . .” In re Tonko, 154 P.3d 397, 405 (Colo. 2007). Upon review of the Original Case application, amended application, and resume, and other relevant documents in the Court’s records, it is clear that Applicant’s predecessor-in-interest intended to and did make claims for both fill and refill of the reservoirs. The application and resume notice filed in the Original Case expressly state that “the reservoirs will be filled and refilled, in priority, as needed.” Exhibit B at ¶ 11. The explicit reference to reservoir refill indicates the original applicant’s intent to alter the presumptive one-fill rule with respect to the reservoirs. See City of Thornton v. Bijou Irr. Co., 926 P.2d 1, 28 n. 13 (Colo. 1996) (stating that after receiving actual notice of applicant’s claims, objectors were not entitled to rely on the one-fill presumption as a basis for their challenge to refill decree). Further, the reservoirs are on-ditch structures and are part of the greater Maroon Creek Club golf course. Keeping the reservoirs full through refill is “consistent with and implicit in the normal operation” of golf course ponds, which provides further evidence that reservoir refill was intended to be a part of the final Decree in the Original Case. See id. at 25-26. By this Application, the Applicant does not seek to expand the rights decreed in the Original Case. Rather, it requests confirmation of its right to refill the Maroon Creek Development Corporation Reservoir Nos. 1-4 under their decreed priority in the Original Case, in conformity with the claims made in the Original Case and the intent of the Decree. Name and address of owner of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure or existing storage pool is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored: Applicant; Friedl Pfeifer Aspen Real Estate Irrevocable Trust No. 1, P.O. Box 837, Des Moines, IA 50309; City of Aspen, 130 S. Galena Street, Aspen, CO 81611. Wherefore, the Applicant respectfully requests this Court to issue a decree confirming that reservoir refill is included as part of the right and priority decreed for the Maroon Creek Development Corporation Reservoir Nos. 1-4 in Case No. 89CW282. YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT YOU HAVE until the last day of OCTOBER 2016 to file with the Water Clerk a verified Statement of Opposition setting forth facts as to why this application should not be granted or why it should be granted in part or on certain conditions. A copy of such statement of opposition must also be served upon the applicant or the applicant’s attorney and an affidavit or certificate of such service shall be filed with the Water Clerk, as prescribed by Rule 5, CRCP.

INTELLIGENT EXERCISE

by CARLA K. JOHNSON for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOOK REVIEW

‘NUTSHELL’ IT TAKES A LION’S NERVE to rewrite “Hamlet” from the viewpoint of a fetus, a stunt conceived and sweetly achieved by Ian McEwan in his latest novel, “Nutshell.” McEwan’s 197-page thimble brims with literary allusions, social commentary and murderous intrigue. The setting is contemporary London. Our narrator, a fully aware infant awaiting birth, overhears his mother plotting with her lover to kill her husband. The doomed cuckold, our narrator’s father, is a poet, who isn’t around much and seems to have forgotten his heir. Our nameless narrator’s loyalties are torn.

NOTEWORTHY

From our storyteller’s cramped quarters, he listens as Trudy and Claude (stand-ins for Shakespeare’s Gertrude and Claudius) work out their plan. He soliloquizes, already world-weary from the podcasts and news reports that lull Trudy on sleepless nights in her late pregnancy: “My disposition is to stillborn sterility, then to dust.” Cleverness accumulates. Twists come from John Cairncross, a character slyly named for a reallife World War II double agent. Claude, at one point, breaks the tension as he bungles into the wrong Shakespearean tragedy and misquotes it: “So we’ll stick our courage to the screwing whatever.”

‘Nutshell’ Ian McEwan Doubleday, 2016 197 pages, hardcover

Later and inevitably, our narrator puts aside words, takes action and hurls the story to its end. McEwan, whose prose is always exquisite, is best known for “Amsterdam,” ‘’Atonement” and “Saturday.” His “Nutshell” is a stunt, but a gorgeous one, studded with Joycean reflections on fathers, the wisdom of pop songs and reviews of placenta-filtered fine wine.
