Doin’ the Bump. For many outdoor enthusiasts in Carbondale, it appeared as if the bump on the sled hill at RVR was the main target for sledders after we received

a few inches of snow. These two members of the McClelland family from Denver were obviously having fun during their trip to Carbondale. See more winter activity photos on page 7. Photo by Jane Bachrach

Locals march in Carbondale, Junction, Denver and D.C. By John Colson Sopris Sun Staff Writer

A

t roughly the same time as huge Saturday demonstrations take place in Washington, D.C., Denver, and other national and international venues too numerous to count, activists in the Roaring Fork Valley will be engaged in exactly the same kind of activity.

The rallies, aimed primarily at mobilizing women but also open to men, are being held in opposition to the pronouncements, policy proposals and behavior of Presidentelect Donald J. Trump, on Jan. 21, the day after Trump’s inauguration. Co-sponsored by Alice The Magazine — an online, Carbondale-based magazine that is “by, for and about real women,� according to its website — the march

in Carbondale is to begin at 9 a.m. in the parking lot outside The Goat restaurant, at the corner of Highway 133 and Cowen Drive. It is to proceed south down the sidewalk next to the highway until the marchers reach the roundabout at Main Street, then turn around and march back to The Goat. “This is the Alice Women’s March, in collaboration with the giant women’s marches in Wash-

ington, D.C., Denver and other places,â€? said Maura Masters, editor of Alice the Magazine and an organizer of the march. “It seemed like a good ďŹ t,â€? she continued, “a chance for women to share their concerns and feelings about the upcoming administration.â€? Carbondale, in the November, 2016 presidential election, rejected Republican candidate Donald Trump and voted for Democratic candidate

Hillary Clinton by an overwhelming margin of 4,060 to 1,890, according to ofďŹ cial results from the GarďŹ eld County Clerk’s ofďŹ ce. The roughly three-mile stroll, which has been tagged Alice’s March for Women and Land (there is a Facebook page with more information), is expected to take about an hour, leaving plenty of time for participants to get over to WOMEN’S MARCH page 13
