trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving to cemetery tours and late-night costume parties — is a holiday where locals of all ages celebrate, Aspen-style. Here’s a glimpse of how we do it.

Your BEST FRIEND is waiting for YOU!

LOBO

18-month-old German Shepherd/ St. Bernard mix who gets along great with everybody. He lived the past year of his life on a chain, and is ready to explore the world and make new friends.

BRANDI, A SPECIAL NEEDS DOG

SADIE

7.5-month-old Australian Cattle Dog mix who gets along great with people and other dogs. She is athletic, affectionate, and full of energy.

Apparently abandoned on Highway 82 + Brush Creek Road late April, 2015. Beautiful 6-year-old German Shepherd. Very friendly with people but not good with other dogs. We haven’t advertised her because she has cancer...but maybe, just maybe, there is someone who would be willing to give her a home. Call the shelter for more details.

BUDDY

Sweet, 4-year-old Cattle Dog mix who gets along well with people and other pets. He is a bit timid upon initial introductions but quickly befriends everyone.

ALLIE

Allie is a beautiful, athletic, 6-year-old Black Lab/Pit Bull mix who is happy, friendly, affectionate and energetic. She is awesome with all people, but she can behave aggressively towards cats and other dogs. Allie will thrive in a knowledgeable, responsible, active home.

MISSY

OLIVER

Missy is a 2-year-old Cattle Dog/Chow mix who came to us with her pups (all adopted) through a wonderful rescue organization in New Mexico. She is timid with new people but is a very sweet, lovable dog.

Handsome, fun, 1.5-year-old Black Lab/Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix who gets along well with everyone. He is full of energy and loves to play in the water.

SAM

Very cute, strong, energetic, 7-year-old Pit Bull mix who looks like an oversized Boston Terrier. Incredibly alert + very smart. Great with all people, including children, but might be best as an only pet. Has started playing with larger males! Loves to play and snuggle!

SPENCER

Agile, athletic, enthusiastic, threeyear-old Australian Cattle Dog/Pit Bull mix who gets along great with people, including kids, but can be aggressive with certain other dogs. She will blossom in an active, knowledgeable, responsible home. Fun + enthusiastic!

TIMBER

COSMO AND CHLOE

OPEN 7am-6pm EVERY DAY 970.544.0206

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

NATTY

Beautiful, sweet, long-haired, 7-yearold cat who came to the shelter as a stray in April 2013. A little independent, Natty gets along well with people and most cats, but is not enthusiastic about dogs.

MAX

Soft-spoken, sleek, friendly, 12.5-year old Husky mix who gets along well with people and other dogs. She is a retired sled dog who deserves a comfortable, loving home.

Cosmo and Chloe are seventeen-year-old cats who were released to the shelter as a pair, but they will be okay if separated from one another. Sweet kitties! Chloe is the more outgoing of the two.

NATALIE

Gentle, 11-year-old Doberman Pinscher Gets along well with people + other pets. She is initially timid, but quickly loosens up once you have earned her trust. Through no fault of her own, turned in because of housing.

3-year-old domestic short-haired orange tabby male who would do best as the only pet in the household. He would be a great companion in a calm, loving household.

HALLOWEEN ASPEN IS REALLY GOOD at

Halloween. Kids and adults alike tend to go big costumewise. And the fact that the holiday falls in the quiet of offseason adds a certain energy to all the festivities as the locals run wild without crowds of visitors. For nightlife, bar-hopping means running into just about everybody you know, comparing costumes and making a visit to the Caribou Club for the members-only club’s sole open door evening. Belly Up always brings a good, high-energy band in for the night (this year it’s the all-female Led Zeppelin band Zepparella for $20) and the club hosts an alwaysentertaining costume contest (last year, a guy dressed as Ken Robinson from Roaring Fork Liquors took home the $500 prize). Other festivities around town this year include a Theatrical Make-Up Workshop at the Red Brick Center for the Arts, where professional make-up artist and costume designer Magdalena Gambuti will help people craft Halloween designs and stage make-up ($35). Aspen Walking Tours is giving a cemetery tour of the Ute Cemetery, with a touch of spooky local history ($20). Down in Glenwood Springs, the Frontier Historical Society is also giving walking tours of the historic Linwood Cemetery with actors playing ghosts of Glenwood’s past. Also in Glenwood, the Mountain Fall Festival is at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park with hayrides, facepainting, pumpkin decorating and trick-or-treating ($5-$10). The Hudson Reed Ensemble’s ongoing production of “The Turn of the Screw,” based on the Henry James ghost story, also runs through Halloween night at the Black Box Theatre.

Halloween brings events for kids and adults to Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley.

CURRENTEVENTS CLASSICAL MUSIC La Catrina Quartet will perform at the Basalt Regional Library on Nov. 2.

Albert Hammond Jr. will perform at Belly Up Aspen on Friday, Oct. 30.

POPULAR MUSIC LA CATRINA STRING QUARTET comes to the Basalt Regional Library on Monday Nov. 2 for a free 5:30 p.m. performance in what promises to be a fall classical music high point. With members from Mexico, Venezuela and Chile, the internationally acclaimed quartet performs contemporary work by composers from the Americas while highlighting rarely performed works by Latin Americans and interpreting the masters.

TOURING IN SUPPORT of a fantastic new solo album, Albert Hammond Jr. makes his local debut at Belly Up Aspen on Friday, Oct. 30 in the most anticipated rock concert of the shoulder season. Best known as the guitarist for The Strokes, Hammond released his third solo disc, “Momentary Masters,” in late July and has distinguished himself in intense solo rock shows.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

VOX POP What is your favorite holiday and why?

with JOHN COLSON

Call Hunt’s bluff, hope for the best I DON’T LIVE IN ASPEN these days, but assume that I might be called upon at some point to write stories about one Aspen issue or another. So I rarely address local controversies in this column to avoid calling my objectivity into question. But I can’t help myself with the Base 2 vote, since I am not covering it as a reporter. The question before voters on Nov. 3 is about the city council’s approval of a roughly 15,000 square-foot, 37-room hotel, at the corner of Monarch and Main streets in what’s known as the “mixed-use” zone of homes and small-scale businesses. Thanks to a petition drive prompted by objections to variances granted for the project — including doubling its allowable size from about 7,500 square feet to the current 15,000 — it is up to voters to decide whether to confirm the council’s approval or reject it. There are a lot of ins and outs to this brouhaha, and I won’t get to them all, but there are some points I feel are salient. For one thing, there is the way Hunt has dealt with his opposition. In August, he announced he was pulling the pin on the project, withdrawing it from city review and going back to the drawing boards. Then, a few days later, Hunt changed his mind and encouraged the city council to put the matter before the voters, as demanded by the petitioners. It sure looked then like Hunt was trying to play a form of “bad-cop/good-cop” with the city. As the bad-cop, he may have hoped that by withdrawing it from the council table he would short-circuit the petition drive and then could re-propose the project later. Then, after he thought about it and realized that the opposition probably would not go away, he came back as the good cop. He convinced the council to let the voters decide, hoping to show that he genuinely cares what the little people have to say and, shucks, he sure would like their approval. No proof he thought these things, of course. Just a gut feeling. Then there are recent revelations, in various news stories, that Hunt is basically trying to blackmail the local electorate. According to reports, he recently declared that if he can’t build his hotel, he’ll just put some other commercial enterprise on the lot in question, which currently holds a Conoco gas station that has been there for decades. And, again according to reports, the two particular kinds of enterprise he mentioned were a bank and — wait for it — a pharmacy. It just so happens that the site of the proposed hotel is across Monarch Street

from Carl’s Pharmacy, a veritable department store in function and form, selling liquor and drugs, greeting cards and groceries, Halloween costumes and stationery, and much, much more. Carl’s, named after co-founder Carl Bergman, has been one of Aspen’s most recognized and most appreciated commercial landmarks since the 1960s. It once boasted a soda fountain where the liquor store is now, and it has served as a genial employer for countless ski bums through the decades. In fact, a job at Carl’s, for some, may have started out as a temporary thing but somehow turned into a career. To my mind, using Carl’s as an electoral bargaining chip, essentially threatening its continued existence, is a low blow. Hunt should be ashamed of himself. As for the idea of a bank replacing the gas station, I hope he was joking. Aspen has more than enough banks already, of just about any type one could mention. Banks, like law offices and real estate brokerages, have proliferated in recent decades to the point where the kinds of stores that Aspen once was famous for — quirky little shops where you could find things that surprised, impressed and sometimes awed visiting shoppers — have fled downvalley to more affordable neighborhoods. Aspen needs another bank like it needs global warming. I must say, I commend Hunt for homing in on affordability as the main selling point for this hotel. That is something Aspen needs in order to attract the kind of skiers that will keep the industry afloat — families, 20-somethings, people who look for bargains to stretch the vacation budget. Though I admit that $200 a night for a room smaller than the bathrooms in some Aspen homes might seem like an insult to the skiing public. And there’s nothing in the city’s approval to require Hunt to live up to that price point, or to his eleventh-hour pledge to provide underground parking at Base 2, although city officials seem to feel Hunt’s written offer of the parking garage has binding legal force. I’m not impressed by Hunt’s carrot-andstick approach. And, in my experience, developers always shoot for the moon but really only expect to get to the clouds. Which is to say that I think the voters can call Hunt’s bluff in the hope that, in the end, he’ll come up with a hotel proposal everyone can live with.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

CRANK IT UP: ‘GENERAC’ GAS GENERATOR ELECTRICITY in the outdoors has become commonplace in recent years, with solar panels and portable battery packs now fixtures of the modern campsite. But despite quieter, cleaner options, for big jobs you still need the power of gas. A new entry this fall in the gas-generator market, Generac introduced its iQ2000 model as “a smart, powerful generator without all the excess noise.” Generators have a bad image with some campers. Older units are loud, exhaustspewing contraptions that can wreck the peace at a park. Though the Generac is not silent, its engine hum is relatively benign, quieter than most idling cars. The Generac offers a pair of 120-volt plugins just like you get at home. It’s able to output 1600 watts while running, which is enough to power small gadgets to big appliances. Operation is easy — you pull a starter cord and adjust the throttle dial as it comes alive. LEDs on the front give an interface for assessing power usage, maintenance issues like low oil, and available electricity with the remaining fuel. Its max capacity, just more than a gallon of gasoline, will give hours of run time, depending on the device. A digital clock on the generator’s face counts down the hours and minutes as the fuel is used by the 4-stroke, 79cc engine. I tested it on multiple power-hogging products, including a large appliance, lights, and an electric saw. It handled any small electronics product with ease. The engine jumped and required “turbo” mode to power a full-size refrigerator. But after some adjustment, with the engine revving and then calming down again, the Generac was able to output a steady flow of current for the fridge to keep it operating without pause. As an extreme test I plugged in a circular saw. Some old framing lumber in the yard needed to be dispatched, and the saw would do the trick. But, alas, the spinning blade in hardwood was too powerful for the Generac — it sputtered and shut down, maxed out. Granted, in the woods camping, that kind of tool will rarely be used. Everything else I plugged in was easily managed by Generac’s gas-to-electricity machine. Overall, I was happy with the performance. My past experiences with gas generators have been loud and exhaust-ridden. You can certainly smell the Generac’s fumes, but set 20 feet from a picnic table, the little unit, especially on the other side of a car, is an unobtrusive power source.

Generac is headquartered in Wisconsin, and the iQ2000 is made in the USA. It comes with a three-year warranty and a $799 price tag. Measuring about 20 by 12 by 17 inches, and weighing about 45 pounds, the Generac is manageable for car camping or use anywhere you can get with a truck or car. It’s a great backup to keep at home in the garage, too, in case your grid goes down.

WINEINK

AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR IN DENVER THE HUNTER’S MOON is on the wane and the Denver Broncos are hosting the Green Bay Packers this weekend. Sounds like the perfect time for a road trip to Denver. And if you love wine, there is an added reason to go: The Denver International Wine Festival has scheduled its 11th annual soirée to coincide with the KELLY J. Halloween weekend. HAYES Anybody want to dress up as a wine writer for the festivities? Wednesday kicked off the event, which organizers, Coloradobased Wine County Network, tout as a “three-day wine and food festival (that) showcases the largest selection of international and domestic wines at any Grand Tasting in the Rocky Mountain region.” Ohhh-Kay. While there may be a touch of hyperbole in that assertion (the annual Aspen Food & Wine Classic, in the heart of the Rocky Mountain region, has been known to spill a bit of wine as well), who am I to quibble with the claim? Actually, I look forward to a Grand Tasting that is as strong in quality as it is stout in quantity with a lineup of over 80 participating wineries. There is also a trio of terrific Tasting Seminars focusing on Burgundy, Walla-Walla and the Willamette Valley in alphabetical order. And guests will have the opportunity to greet Karen MacNeil, the author of “The Wine Bible,” who ranks among the most knowledgeable and entertaining wine educators on the planet. Let’s start with the basics. Thursday night at the Omni Interlocken Resort in Broomfield, the DIWF hosts the Pairsine Chefs Fine Food and Wine Pairing Competition. Eleven of the region’s top toques have been tasked with preparing two dishes each to pair with Gold Medal winning wines from the 2014 edition of the DIWF. Twenty-two dishes from the likes of Daniel Joly, of Mirabelle in Beaver Creek, Fruition’s chef Franco Ruiz of Denver, and Jake Irwin from the Rainbow Ranch

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

Lodge in Gallatin, Montana, will be matched to 44 wines in a competition that will be judged by those in attendance. The festivities get underway at 6:30 (5:30 for those who purchase VIP passes) and guests mingle with the chefs and wine representatives in a party atmosphere. Fine wine, great food and a good time. Then on Friday, also at the Omni Interlocken Resort, the Grand Tasting and seminars will kick off. Purchase a VIP Ticket for $165 and you will get early admission to the Grand Tasting at 4 p.m., as well as access to the VIP lounge with a new chef station (5-8 p.m.), a VIP wine glass, admission to the educational seminars and a gift bag. General admission to the Grand Tasting is a steal at just $75 and is good for the 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. event. A plethora of fine wines are to be poured and personally I am looking forward to tasting Pinot Noirs from different regions. Start with Alma Rosa, the Sta. Rita Hills project from Santa Barbara Pinot pioneer Richard Sanford. Move up the coast to the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County and the estate-grown wines from Kate MacMurray’s MacMurray Ranch. Keep heading north to sample the Willamette Valley in the wines of Harry Peterson-Nedry’s Chehalem Vineyards (they were featured in a WineInk story about screw caps last month). Prefer an international feel? From New Zealand’s Central Otago, a cool climate Pinot paradise, come wines from Archangel. And, in a special seminar, Burgundy will be represented by the wines of Domaine Laroche, which will be poured by William Davis, the Trade Ambassador-Mountain States for Wilson Daniels, a top importer of great juice. Titled “Wines of Burgundy: An Exploration of the Chablis Region Featuring The Wines of Domaine Laroche,” the seminar begins on Friday at 6 p.m. The other two seminars focus on the great Northwest. The aforementioned Peterson-Nedry, who combines the passion of a winemaker with the technical skills of a chemist, will explain the terroir

O c tob e r 29 - No v e m b e r 4, 20 15

This weekend marks the 11th annual gathering at the Denver International Wine Festival.

of the Willamette Valley at 4 p.m. “The seminar will be a general review of Oregon and Chehalem, using five wines to allow a pointed discussion of value, vintage differences, and terroir/soil nuance differences of both red and white wines,” said Peterson-Nedry in a direct and professorial style. And in a case of a professor who is decidedly unprofessorial, the bearded and bald Tim Donahue, director of winemaking at the ground-breaking (literally) Enology and Viticulture Program at Walla Walla Community College, will bring 90+ point Syrah from some of the best wineries in Washington.

I MET THE MUTTON MAN

TRAILING A UK RENAISSANCE, BLACK WELSH MOUNTAIN SHEEP CROSS THE POND — TO PAONIA

ON A FOGGY, cold, damp afternoon last week, I find myself atop Garvin Mesa, three miles north of downtown Paonia. Here at 6,210 feet above sea level, a steady drizzle and bone-chilling wind whips Desert Weyr Farm. Its residents, however, couldn’t seem happier. “Look at them out here — they’re just hanging out in the AMANDA rain,” says owner RAE Eugenia “Oogie” McGuire, leading me on a farm tour despite the inclement weather. “This is the shelter for the rams all winter. [They’ll be] lying down with nine inches of snow on their backs, sitting there, chewing their cuds, just perfectly fine. They’re very tough sheep.” Such harsh conditions are similar to those in Wales, where these native Black Welsh Mountain sheep have been bred for thousands of years on rocky terrain. The rams in this pasture — and ewes and lambs separated by yards of fencing, to prevent breeding outside of specific periods — are jet-black, with thick, coarse wool and delicate bones. They look like horned bricks of charcoal teetering on spindly legs. When McGuire calls out to them — “Ba ba ba, ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch” — they respond with a few bleats before returning to chomping wet hay. “They’re extraordinarily calm,” agrees Bob Kennard, AGE, a former shepherd and expert in artisanal mutton production, visiting Desert Weyr from his native Wales. “Our farm is at 1,100 feet — in the UK that’s quite high,” Kennard says. “We get a lot of snow and a lot of bad weather from the Atlantic. The Victorians said that the upland breeds such as these were the best because they had no external fat and good marbling of the meat, which adds to the flavor. We have one of the best breeds in the UK producing mutton here, which is fantastic.” By maintaining a flock of about

60 Black Welsh Mountain sheep and selling their wool, manure, horns, and meat, the 40-acre Desert Weyr Farm is leading the conservation effort of the breed, which is considered rare and endangered in North America. As one of the foremost experts on the species and author of the recently published book, “Much Ado About Mutton,” Kennard has made a maiden voyage to the States to help expand the UK’s “Mutton Renaissance” overseas. “Our rams have particularly nice temperaments,” McGuire continues, “because we’ve eaten all the bad ones.” That’s the irony of McGuire’s work to protect Black Mountain Welsh sheep at Desert Weyr for the past 15 years: “We can’t guarantee genetic diversity unless those animals have a job,” she says. “We need consumers to support rare breeds, and the best way to support a rare breed is to eat it.” Mutton meat is making a comeback in North America, and Desert Weyr is leading the charge. Black Welsh Mountain sheep were first imported from the UK to Maryland in 1973; the founding genetic population consisted of just two rams and nine ewes. In the late-1990s, Desert Weyr, then run by McGuire’s mother, was one in a group of breeders responsible for growing the flock. Today, McGuire maintains a flock of about 60 breeding ewes and three of the eight original bloodlines. There are only about 1,600 Black Welsh Mountain Sheep in North America, and fewer than 10,000 worldwide. Three years ago the McGuires created LambTracker, an open-source software system for shepherds to use to streamline operations. Following Kennard’s Rocky Mountain sojourn, which concludes with a book signing at the farm on October 31 during the annual end-of-season Celebrate! event with locals wineries (see sidebar, opposite), the Welshman continues to California to speak at the American Livestock Conservancy’s annual conference on rare breeds.

“This year the focus of the meeting is on flavor,” McGuire quips. “Mutton is flavorful!” Unfortunately, the word ‘mutton’ is often enough to turn off the most adventurous foodies. “There is a psychological barrier to us eating mutton,” declares Kennard, who was in the meat business for more than 25 years in the UK beginning in the late-1980s. In 1990 he turned to organic mutton production, following a decades-long decline. “I couldn’t understand why it was so popular in Victorian times — there was more mutton meat than beef in the UK during the Victorian period. Why did it disappear?” Of many reasons, World War II tops the list. GIs in Europe and elsewhere were fed with canned mutton — mostly from Australian merino sheep, which have fine wool but sub-prime meat. “Because of food shortages, we ate anything,” Kennard explains. “The quality of our meat sunk. It got into the folklore: Mutton is always going to be tough.” The Industrial Revolution also swung preferences toward lamb, as the burgeoning population meant more mouths to feed and mutton production simply took too long. (In the UK, mutton are sheep two years of age or older; in

fact, Victorian Era eaters preferred mutton at 4 or 5 years old.) For the first time in 6,000 years, sheep were used primarily for meat as opposed to wool, milk, and tallow. In 2004, the Prince of Wales started a campaign “to try and build back the idea that mutton is a food icon that should be enjoyed,” says Kennard, who works with the UK National Sheep Association and uplands farmers struggling with livestock prices. “We want to create a quality market for older sheep, to bring back this fantastic meat.” Together, Kennard and McGuire are out to slay misconceptions about mutton, whose flavor is affected by breed, forage, and aging. Black Welsh Mountain sheep — entirely grass-finished at Desert Weyr—are a choice species. “People think it’s going to be really strong or gamy, but it’s not,” Kennard says. “It’s a completely different meat, like veal to beef.” Coloradans are onboard. Desert Weyr Farm sells mutton meat — including ribs, ground meat, shanks — and products including a new sweet Italian mutton sausage on the farm by appointment in the winter, at Lizzy’s Market in Paonia, and to select restaurants in Aspen through the new Farm Runners delivery service.

TAGINE OF MUTTON & CHICKPEAS “Mutton is one of the prime meats, and it is one of the most expensive meats,” says Eugenia “Oogie” McGuire of Desert Weyr Farm in Paonia. “Veal is a baby cow or steer, and a well-aged steak is an older animal. They’re both good, but slightly different. That’s the difference between lamb and good mutton.” This recipe, excerpted from “Much Ado About Mutton” by UK expert Bob Kennard, uses a fail-safe method to prepare the flavorful meat rich in vitamins, minerals, and omega fatty acids: slow cooking. Serves 6-8

smoked kolbasi mutton sausage, served as “baa-twurst” at Revolution Brewing in town. “A lot of people are like, ‘Oh, mutton, I don’t want that but I really need to eat something,” McGuire says of brewery patrons faced with the limited snack option. “It is hard to get people to try it, but once they do, they like it.” I witnessed this mutton hesitation firsthand at Taste of the Valley in Carbondale back in September. Megan MacMillan, chef-proprietor of Paonia’s North Fork Foods in Paonia, prepared a dish of mutton kofta meatballs on the demonstration stage. When samples were ready, the audience hesitated. However, approving murmurs soon followed those tentative first bites dipped in Greek tzatziki. Prime mutton meat is rich and flavorful—sort of a cross between beef and lamb with a touch of ranch-raised elk. “We’re selling the experience of the flavors and the story of the animals,” says McGuire, who is experimenting with smoked mutton ham and mutton bacon. She backs all products with a 100 percent satisfaction-or-moneyback guarantee. “Some sheep,” she says, “belong on a plate.”

MAKE IT Package lime gelatin (6 ounce) 2 cups boiling water 3 cups chilled pineapple juice 1 (2 liter) bottle chilled lemonlime flavored soda or 1 (2 liter) bottle ginger ale 2 cups chilled vodka (you can leave out to make a kids’ version of the brew) Pour the gelatin mix into a large bowl. Slowly stir in the boiling water. Stir at least 2 minutes, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in the pineapple juice, the entire 2 liter of soda and the vodka. Let cool to room temperature.

WITCH’S BREW As a rule, I try to avoid brightly colored cocktails. And I never drink green ones (long story, but too much Midori at a college frat formal is at the root of my fear). But while cruising my neighborhood last Halloween, a friend had set out a bowl of “Witch’s Brew” — and who was I to decline a cup of cheer on this most Aspen of holidays? Surprisingly, it was green drink that did not turn me green. In fact, it was sweet and bubbly, with just a hint of lime. As I began to plan for this year’s trick-or-treat festivities, my mind turned to the Witch’s Brew. And as luck would have it, a quick Google search brought up all sorts of recipes; the one here is closest to what I recall drinking. And it can be made in a kids’ version, which means we might go green at my house this Halloween.

CANINE COSTUMES

THE MINOR OBSESSION WITH DRESSING A PET UP FOR HALLOWEEN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER, leading up to All Hallows’ Eve, must be the main time during the year that we truly test our pet’s unconditional love for us. Those who don’t own pets may not be sure what I mean by this. But pet owners who have spent hours crafting costume ideas, forcing sleeves, pants or hats on their beloved animals and rolling on the ground BARBARA in hysterics when the PLATTS costume finally fits, know exactly what I’m talking about. This month, my boyfriend and I have let our personal costume ideas fall by the wayside because we have a much bigger priority: dressing up our year-old puppy Cassius. We’ve been prepping the pup for weeks. Scheduling casual fittings and reassuring him that silver bowties around his neck are completely natural and that beanies on his head or bracelets around his wrist are not for chewing, but for flaunting proudly. People who don’t own pets (and the ones that only own a fish, which is very difficult to dress up) often guffaw and roll their eyes at their counterparts’ obsession with outfitting their little ones in bright colors, funny masks and clever booties on Halloween. But ask any

P H OTO S B Y N ATA L I E A N TO I N E

WE’VE BEEN PREPPING THE PUP FOR WEEKS, SCHEDULING CASUAL FITTINGS AND REASSURING HIM THAT SILVER BOWTIES AROUND HIS NECK ARE COMPLETELY NATURAL AND THAT BEANIES ON HIS HEAD OR BRACELETS AROUND HIS WRIST ARE NOT FOR CHEWING, BUT FOR FLAUNTING PROUDLY. dog owner what their furry friend is going to be for the holiday and the answer is almost immediate: “A spider, a taco, a rabbit, a moose, a ballerina, Where’s Waldo, Mariah Carey, Donald Trump or maybe even a piece of bacon!” The list goes on and on. Now, before you go thinking I’m the only freak that cares about dressing their pet up for Halloween, let me throw a few numbers at you. Last year, Americans spent $55.7 billion dollars on pets. Although all animals are created equal, it goes without saying that the largest percentage of that chunk of change was spent on the best type of pet: a dog. In the U.S. there are an estimated 83.3 million dogs. I don’t even want to start imagining the piles of abandoned turds throughout this great nation of ours. These numbers were all found in a study conducted by the American Pet Products Association. People estimate that this cost will only

increase as the years go on because the trend of “humanizing” our animals has become the norm in the last couple of decades. To zoom in on these numbers a bit more, let’s just look at Halloween. The National Retail Federation recently released a report stating that 20 million pet owners are planning on spending roughly $350 million on their pets for Halloween. Now, as stated before, there are more than 80 million dogs in this country, meaning that there are at least 60 million dog owners (and more owners of various other pets) that don’t know what the hell they’re doing right now and need to go get a costume for their pet stat. But anyway, we spend $350 million on costumes for our pets each year. To put the number in perspective, that’s like buying six or seven mansions on Red Mountain. We don’t have an exact number for the amount of pets in Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley…but since

there are 80 million in the country, I’m estimating about a quarter of them live around here. Because of that, we are sure to see some great outfits on our non-human friends this weekend. If you aren’t an animal lover and think Halloween costumes for pets are silly, immature and downright ridiculous, try to keep your feelings to yourself this weekend as us proud owners are out and about flaunting our pet’s fashionable threads. For us, this is one of the most thrilling times of year. We won’t have a chance to dress up our dogs again like this until…Christmas most likely. For those of you who are pet owners and have yet to find an appropriate costume, don’t worry, there’s still time. Check out C.P. Paws on the Hyman Mall, Halloween headquarters upstairs at Carl’s Pharmacy or The Thrift Shop of Aspen. If you can’t find a proper dog outfit, sift through the children’s costume section. Your pet won’t mind…as long as you cut a place out for his or her tail. Barbara Platts has not yet decided what she is going to be for Halloween because she’s been busy dressing up her dog. However, she will be out and in the spirit on Saturday night and hopes to see you about town at one of the numerous costume parties. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

NEIGHBORHOODS: LOTS TO DO IN TUCSON’S REVITALIZED DOWNTOWN AS A KID GROWING UP IN Tucson, Eddie Gallego remembers “when everything was downtown.” Then businesses began to move out to the malls, and downtown suffered. Now, he says, the neighborhood has come full circle. “Downtown has gotten so much better,” said Gallego from behind the counter of his gift and craft shop, Tolteca Tlacuilo. “We’re revitalizing.” Tolteca Tlacuilo is located at Old Town Artisans, a restored 19thcentury marketplace in Tucson’s El Presidio historic district. The Presidio is one of several distinct areas downtown that can make for a terrific afternoon of shopping, dining and enjoying Tucson’s historic sites and the arts, whether you’re a local or an out-of-towner. Here are some recommendations.

EL PRESIDIO AND EL BARRIO El Presidio’s historic district is where the 18th-century walled settlement that grew into Tucson was originally located. Today you’ll see a reconstructed Spanish fort at 196 N. Court St., adobe and brick homes on side streets,

and the mosaic dome of the Old Pima County Courthouse at 115 N. Church Ave., surrounded by a lovely park. Across the street from the courthouse is the Tucson Museum of Art, 140 N. Main Ave. In addition to notable Latin American, preColumbian and American West collections, the museum is hosting a Day of the Dead-themed installation called “Banda Calaca,” with a largescale seven-piece skeleton band marching toward a community memorial altar. Tucson is known for its Day of the Dead celebration, the All Souls Procession, scheduled for Nov. 8, which typically attracts 100,000 people. If you’re shopping for gifts or souvenirs, be sure to sift through the treasures at Old Town Artisans, 201 N. Court Ave. Nearby at 311 N. Court Ave., the fun and charming El Charro Cafe — run by the same family since 1922 — serves tasty old-school Mexican food and great sangria. Another historic area is Barrio Viejo. Leave an offering at El Tiradito, 420 S. Main Ave., a shrine covered with candles and flowers.

Around the corner, a colorful mural decorates the site of an old spring, El Ojito, which supplied early settlers with water.

CONGRESS STREET Congress Street is hopping with venues both classic and new. The historic Hotel Congress has a real working pay phone in the lobby — yes, with a dial! — but there’s nothing old-fashioned about its Bloody Mary bar, offered Saturdays and Sundays, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., where options for your drink range from artichokes to goat cheese. The Rialto Theatre, 318 E. Congress St., has hosted everyone from The Lumineers to Merle Haggard. For some innovative treats, try the Hub Ice Cream Factory, 245 E. Congress St., where flavors include bourbon almond brittle, Mexican wedding cookie, vanilla lavender and brandied cherry goat cheese. Cafe Poca Cosa, 100 E. Pennington St., is known for its “plato poca cosa,” which includes samples of three entrees from the day’s menu.

FOURTH AVENUE An underpass leads from Congress Street to funky Fourth Avenue. Storefronts house a food co-op, the Hippie Gypsy, vintage clothing stores, shops selling books, gifts, crafts and art, and The Hut, where a 35-foot-high tiki head draws folks for tropical drinks and live music. Tucson’s streetcar, the Sun Link, runs along Fourth Avenue and is popular with students from the nearby University of Arizona campus. If you need a classy end to a busy day, head for Agustin Kitchen. The restaurant is located at Mercado San Agustin, an open-air courtyard located west of Interstate 10 in the Menlo Park neighborhood at the very edge of downtown, at the last stop of the Sun Link. It’s a great spot for cocktails, small plates and other fresh, flavorful food.

tricks (and treats) for an Aspen

HALLOWEEN compiled by JEANNE MCGOVERN

alloween is Aspen’s holiday — the one holiday that locals of all ages can celebrate without the hustle and bustle of high-season in the background. How Aspenites choose to celebrate All Hallows’ Eve is as diverse as the local population itself. There are cemetery tours and talks about haunted hotels. There is trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving. And there are parties — from neighborhood get-togethers to bar crawls, and from concerts to costume contests. To be fair, there is no singular way to explain what Halloween is to Aspen. But on the following pages we offer you a glimpse of what the holiday has to offer — with this directive: Don’t believe what you read...go out and see what Aspen on Halloween is all about for yourself.

GHOST STORIES FROM THE HISTORIC HOTEL JEROME* ASPEN IS A SMALL TOWN WITH A BIG HISTORY. And on Halloween, there’s no better history to recount that history than through the town’s ghost tales, of which there are many. Several come from the historic Hotel Jerome and are revealed in chilling fashion in the pages of Nancy K. Williams’ book, “Haunted Hotels of Northern Colorado.” Below are a few excerpts. “The ghost of a little boy who drowned in the hotel’s swimming pool around 1935 haunts the halls. He’s seen most often around room 310, which is directly over the pool. A woman staying in this room called the front desk to report seeing a little boy who was wet and shivering and seemed lost. When the general manager came upstairs to investigate, the child had vanished, leaving nothing but wet footprints. The guest register was checked, but there were no children staying at the hotel. Over the years, this child has been encountered in the hallway, shivering and holding his towel. When he’s approached or spoken to, he vanishes, leaving behind small, wet footprints. ...” “The hotel has another ghostly resident, Katie Kerrigan, a pretty Irish chambermaid, hired when the hotel opened in 1892. Katie was popular with the other employees and had several admirers, but there were a few jealous

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

O c tob e r 29 - No v e m b e r 4, 20 15

maids who played tricks on her. One cold, wintry night, a maid told Katie that her pet kitten had gotten out and fallen in a nearby pond. Katie rushed out to look for her pet, ventured out too far on the pond’s thin ice and fell through. A passerby pulled the girl from the frigid water and rushed her to the doctor, but she developed a terrible case of pneumonia. Despite the best care, Katie died, but she never left the Jerome. Sometimes she helps the maids with their work and turns down bedcovers in guest rooms in the evening. ...” “Henry O’Callister has never checked out of the hotel either. He’d been prospecting in the mountains around Aspen but was discouraged and down on his luck when a fortunate turn of his shovel unearthed a 1,500-pound silver nugget. Henry had struck it rich! The newly wealthy miner moved into the Hotel Jerome, where he met Clarissa Wellington, who’d just arrived from Boston. The young couple fell in love, but Clarissa’s father wouldn’t give them permission to marry. Clarissa went home to attempt to change her father’s mind, and he refused to allow her to return to Colorado. Henry languished at the hotel, waiting and rushing to the depot every time the train pulled in, but Clarissa never came. He ran out of money and returned to prospecting, but he didn’t make another lucky strike. Henry died penniless, probably of a broken heart, and his sad spirit wanders the Jerome’s halls, waiting for his lost love.” * Reprinted with permission from “Haunted Hotels of Northern Colorado” by Nancy K. Williams.

YOU GO THROUGH CEMETERIES, AND YOU SEE THESE STONES, AND YOU ALWAYS WONDER ABOUT THEIR STORIES. … ALL THESE STORIES, ALTHOUGH I TELL THE LIFE AND DEATH OF THAT PERSON THERE, THERE’S SOMETHING WITHIN THAT STORY THAT TELLS A LARGER PART OF HISTORY, OF ASPEN AND OUR COUNTRY AT THAT TIME.” — DEAN WEILER, ASPEN WALKING TOURS

From walking tours of local cemeteries to a glimpse of “Aspen’s Dark Side” and from costumed kids and adults to decorated lawns and roadways, Aspenites know how to celebrate Halloween in style.

Master Sommelier and Boulder Wine Merchant owner Brett Zimmerman founded the festival five years ago, creating an opportunity to serve some of Burgundy’s most rare wines, largely due to the incredible generosity of festival partners and his extensive web of friends in the industry. The weekend included tastings and

SEEING THE FOREST FOR ‘FOREVER’ TONY PRIKRYL’S PHOTOGRAPHY AT THE WYLY ANNEX

EVERY ARTIST in the Colorado high country has some aspen trees in their portfolio. The trees are remarkable looking and, of course, they’re everywhere you look in and around Aspen. But every once in a while an artist does something with aspens that can make you see them differently, make you think about them – and the landscape – with a new perspective. Tony Prikryl’s phototgraphs, “Works on Forever,” are that kind of artwork. The large format photos in his exhilarating new body of work – included in a solo show at the Wyly Annex that opened Oct. 23 – at first appear to look like single snowflakes or crystal chandeliers. Look a little closer, though, and you realize that these are bare tree branches, coated perfectly in snow and ice, mirrored against themselves and set against mostly bluebird Colorado skies. Prikryl, based in Aspen, where he runs the fine art printing studio White Room Imaging, spent two winters photographing trees – mostly on Aspen Mountain. He knew the aesthetic he wanted – an even white icy coating of branches that happens on a certain clear, cold, windless morning after a snowfall. Those perfect mornings were less frequent than Prikryl imagined. “When I first started, I thought I’d do it in a couple weeks, a couple snow storms,” he told me on a walk-through of the show before its opening. “But it took a year and a half from the time I took the first one.” Of course, for this avid skier, that meant often spending time shooting photos rather than skiing on mornings with fresh snow on the mountain. “It was a hard tradeoff,” Prikryl says with a laugh. “You suffer for your art, I guess.” He wanted the images to invoke fractals and torsion fields of selfsustaining energy. “That’s where it all started, thinking about fields of energy and geometry that’s fractal and universal in all nature, looping onto itself,” Prikryl says.

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

His Wyly show also includes work on film, in which sections of painted film strips are mounted on a wall. They allow you to see the images on the film as well as their shadows on the gallery wall. Prikryl, who studied with the legendary experimental filmmaker James Brakhage at the University of Colorado, sees that work playing into the same idea – a film strip, in motion, loops like the energy he invoked in the “Works on Forever” photographs. The most recent works in the show are a pair of “Weaves,” which weave together photographs of plants – taken at night – around Aspen and Independence Pass. He sees them as larger versions of the natural fractals depicted in the “Works on Forever” series. “The weaves are magnifications of those perfect forms,” he says. “If you compound them enough, they turn

into leaves and plants and trees.” Like the “Works on Forever,” a pair of photographs in his “Storm” series trick the mind’s eye’s perception of snow and forest. One appears to be a starry night sky, but turns out to be snowflakes falling against the darkness. The second is an overhead shot of a grove of trees on Independence Pass – they’re captured in morning, with their shadows falling uniformly, giving them an unusual sense of motion and menace. It’s the least peaceful photo of a snowy forest you’re likely to find. “It’s like an army coming down the hill,” Prikryl says.

First Claim; Application for Conditional Water Right (Exchange). Name of structure: Kings Row Green Mountain Exchange. Description of exchange reach: From the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Colorado rivers upstream to the confluence of Blue Creek and the Roaring Fork River. The upstream terminus is located in the NW1/4 SE1/4 of Sec. 27, T7S, R88W, of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 1,590 feet from the South section line and 1,530 feet from the East section line. The downstream terminus in located in the SE1/4 NW1/4 of Sec. 9, T. 6 S, R89W, 6th P.M., at a point approximately 2,200 feet from the North section line and 2,400 feet from the West section line. Appropriation date: 5/15/2004. The appropriation was initiated by formation of intent to exchange augmentation supplies to the Thunder River Realty Co. Well and the Kings Row Well Nos. 2 and 3. The rate of exchange shall be 0.11 c.f.s., conditional. Exchange water source: Robinson Ditch and Favre Domestic Pipeline pursuant to Basalt Water Conservancy District Contract No. 37 (“BWCD Contact”). The exchange shall operate at all times when direct augmentation of Blue Creek is not required due to a lack of adequate exchange potential. Total diversions benefitting from this exchange from the Thunder River realty Co. Well and Kings Row Well No. 2 shall not exceed 23.92 acre-feet per year. Total diversions benefitting from this exchange from the Thunder River Realty Co. Well and Kings Row Well Nos. 2 and 3 shall not exceed 25.8 acre-feet per year. Second Claim; Application for Change of Water Right. Decreed water right for which change is sought: Kings Row Exchange. Date of original decree: 12/3/2008, in Case No. 04CW115, District Court, Water Div. 5. Subsequent decrees awarding findings of diligence: N/A. Description of exchange reach: From the confluence of Blue Creek and the Roaring Fork River to appoint on Blue Creek where Applicant’s out of priority well depletions will accrue: The upstream terminus is located in T7S, R87W, 6th P.M., Section 32 at a point approximately 1,510 feet from the West line and 2,761 feet from the North line. The downstream terminus is located in T7S, R87W., 6th P.M., at a point approximately 1,630 feet from the West line and 2,755 feet from the North line. Appropriation date: 5/15/2004.

A water right location map is enclosed as Exhibits A and B. Detailed description of proposed change. The decreed upstream terminus location description falls on the Roaring Fork River and not Blue Creek. The correct location is as follows: The upstream terminus is located in the NW1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 32, T7S, R87W of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 1850 feet from the North section line and 2270 feet from the East section line of said Section 32. The decreed downstream terminus location description does not include a section. The location decreed is “located in T7S, R87W, of the 6th P.M. at a point approximately 1,630 feet from the West line and 2,755 feet from the North line.” Regarding the confluence of Blue Creek and the Roaring Fork River, at one time Blue Creek may have entered the Roaring Fork in the SW1/4 of Section 32, T7S., R87W., of the 6th P.M.; however, Blue Creek now enters the Roaring Fork about 3.5 miles to the west. That location can be found “at a location in the NW1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 27, T7S, R88W, of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 1590 feet from the South section line and 1530 feet from the East section line of said Section 27.” Therefore, the correct location is as follows: The downstream terminus is located in the NW1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 27, T7S, R88W, of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 1590 feet from the South section line and 1530 feet from the East section line of said Section 27. Third Claim; Application for Amendment to Plan for Augmentation. On 12/3/2008, the District Court in and for Water Division No. 5, entered a decree in Case No. 04CW115, which inter alia, decreed a plan for augmentation for the Kings Row Subdivision to provide a legal water supply for development within the subdivision. The Applicant proposes to amend the plan for augmentation to provide for the new water right for the Kings Row Green Mountain Exchange and for the change of water right for the corrected locations of the upstream terminus and downstream terminus for the Kings Row Exchange. The water diversion requirements, consumptive use and depletions for these structures will not be increased by this application. Name and address of owner of land on which structure is located: Applicant.

BOOK REVIEW

‘FLASK OF THE DRUNKEN MASTER’ ROCKY MOUNTAIN Fiction Writers Association’s 2015 Writer of the Year Susan Spann injects some refreshing life into the gumshoe mystery genre by turning back the clock 500 years and taking readers to 16th-century Japan. “Flask of the Drunken Master,” the latest in Spann’s Shinobi Mystery series, pairs the ninja detective Hiro Hattori with his sidekick, the Portuguese Jesuit priest Father Mateo, as they attempt to solve a murder and exonerate an innocent man. As the novel opens, a local brewer in 1565 Kyoto is arrested for murder. A rival of his has been found dead, with a flask of his sake nearby. It’s up to Hiro and Father Mateo to find the real killer before the brewer is executed.

NOTEWORTHY

Over the span of a few days, they find suspects and motives among the feuding warlords, samurai and shinobi of a vividly rendered Kyoto. Spann cleverly uses the Japanese caste system and complexities of 16th-century society as a plot device. She keeps the reader guessing up to the end, and moves the twisting plot along rapidly, but the detective story is clearly built on meticulous research of Japanese history and the rivalries among merchants and underworld moneylenders, rice sellers and brewers. Following the partnership between the ninja Hiro and the priest Mateo adds a fascinating dimension to the story. Their differing belief systems and perspectives on morality clash

as the pair attempts to crack the case. And though “Flask of the Drunken Master” is a page-turning beach read, its illuminating use of historical Japan as a setting makes it a less disposable and forgettable read than most of the genre fiction out there. The book is the third in the Shinobi series, following “Claws of the Cat” (2013) and “Blade of the Samurai” (2014). atravers@aspentimes.com
