These goats all had the same comment for owner Stacy Baldock after stopping in a few weeks ago for drinks and dinner. “This food ain’t baaad,” they bleated in unison.

Library applicants make pitches; trustees pitch questions By Lynn Burton Sopris Sun Staff Writer
T
he public got its first official look at three proposals for future use of the Gordon Cooper Library at Tuesday night’s trustees meeting, but the session was more of a chance for trustees rather than the public to ask questions. One common question emerged for all three applicants: how will your proposal benefit downtown economically? The answer from all three was: It will. At the end of the night the trustees indicated they’ll consider the proposals in May and open discussion to the public. The trustees may or may not make a decision on

that night. As mayor Stacey Bernot pointed out, the trustees may decide not to accept any of the three proposals. The trustees are trying to decide who to lease the existing Gordon Cooper Library to when it closes and the new Carbondale Library opens this summer. They asked for proposals from non-profits and received three: from the new Carbondale Academy of Performing Arts, the new Family Enrichment Center child-care facility, and the James Surls Museum to display the work of Missouri Heights sculptor James Surls. The proposals are available online at carbondalegov.org. It was standing room only at Tuesday night’s meeting and the trustees allotted 30
minutes for the non-profits to make their presentations and answer questions. Peter Gilbert, founder of Carbondale Academy of Performing Arts, said his group would be the umbrella operation to administer the building for SOL Theatre Company, Crystal River Ballet, Dance Lab, CoMotion (Carbondale’s new dance company) and Music Together. When asked by Bernot, Gilbert said he thinks that SOL Theatre is the only non-profit that currently operates out of its own space (in the Cowen Center). When asked what he’ll do if the town does not choose his application, Gilbert joked, “I guess I’ll save a lot of money (for improvements),” then indicated he does not have other options at this time.

Francis Lewis and Kathryn Camp were the main spokeswomen for the Family Enrichment Center, which they envision serving families with children from infant to fifth grade. The best laugh of the night came when Bernot asked about FEC’s proposal that calls for a “wellness practitioner” to have a space in the library, and trustee Allyn Harvey added “That’s not medical marijuana, is it.” Harvey went on to explain he sees the word “wellness” associated with a lot of medical marijuana dispensaries. Next up was Jim Calaway for the Surls Museum. One of his main points was the economic benefit that the estimated 10,000-plus out of town visitors would bring to the town.

e place of endless opportunity By Amy Kimberly “Alone we are a word. Together we are a sentence. Together we have purpose.”These are the words of poets Ken Arkind and Bobby LeFebre.Alone we can do many things but, together we are stronger. Together, we can accomplish more. That was the overlying theme of the Creative Industries Summit held in Pueblo last weekend. It makes me want to write a poem, speak in rhythms, leap like a dancer into the arms of others. I am an addict for creativity and community. I have worked in this business of art for over 25 years. I have watched towns grow into vibrant and healthy communities. I have seen youth grow into incredible adults. I have seen economies grow, all due to exposure to creativity and possibility. Unfortunately, for many years, creativity and possibility were intangible thoughts that needed to be proved tangibly, and that proof did not exist. After the Creative Industries Summit I feel like I won the lottery. The proof is in the pudding folks (though I am not sure where that saying came from). Creativity is finally the belle of the ball, the last piece of the puzzle, the dollar in your pocket. Welcome to the 21st century. More than 350 artists, government officials, non-profit workers and visionaries came together at the summit to learn and be inspired. What did we find out? The numbers are there. The creative industries are the fifth largest economy in the state and Colorado has the fifth largest concentration of artists in the country. The creative industries encompass: art, design, film, organic food production, renewable energies, education, music, healing and publishing. Sound familiar? I call that place Carbondale. We have been the future and we didn’t even know it! To make this even more appealing and Carbondaleish, the state is rolling out a new program in economic development called “Heritage and Agritourism.”This program is going to get a lot of love — and money! This is us. This is Carbondale … and Paonia .. and Redstone … and Hotchkiss and … come to think of it, this is the Highway 133 corridor. I came back from the summit feeling a deeper connection to our Highway 133 neighbors, and they felt the connection back.While skiing and the arts have been the drive with our upvalley neighbors in Aspen (and thank-goodness for that) when looking at what makes best friends, maybe we need to look at this rich, abundant corridor that stretches over McClure Pass. “Alone we are a word. Together we are a sentence. Together we have meaning.” That sentence is filled with local food production like Sustainable Settings here in Carbondale and Fresh and Wyld in Paonia. It is rich with art like the CCAH R2 Gallery, Majiid Kahaak’s studio/gallery in Carbondale, Paonia’s Elsewhere Studios, and the Creamery in Hotchkiss. We have the unique Thompson House for history. Redstone and Marble have arts and marble mines. Paonia and Hotchkiss are wealthy in wine production. This region is reaching out and together we can create a rich, vibrant experience that draws folks off of Highway 82 to discover the delights that exist here. Whatever direction we go in, let’s embrace that we are the future. We have the power, the state support (at least conceptually) to do what we do best. “Alone we are a word. Together we are a sentence. Together we have purpose.” Amy Kimberly is spearheading the Creative Planning project for Carbondale. Stay tuned for information on this and other avenues of creativity at www.carbondalearts.com.

Knott will be missed Dear Editor: Congratulations to the town of Basalt on its selection of Greg Knott for their police chief. Greg has been an asset to the town of Carbondale Police Department since he came to the job. His presence in our town was felt by many. I respected Greg for the way I saw him handle alcohol and other related problems with tact and, when necessary, well … you know. Greg is a fine police officer and will be missed by all who know him. Our town is losing another fine, dedicated employee. Best of luck Greg. Skip Bell Manager The Pour House
Come see some talent Dear Editor: The annual talent show for Roaring Fork High School is rolling around the corner and students are enthusiastic to present their skills. We’ve got singers, actors, writers and musicians as well as comical skits written and performed by the student council. It’s going to be a night of talent and entertainment and we’re hoping that the community will come watch this fun event. The talent show will be held Wednesday, April 24 at 7 p.m. and all are welcome! Admission is $5 per person. Please come support the school and witness the talent of our local students! Kayla Henley Student Roaring Fork High School
let’s go with Surls Dear Editor: We want to express our support for the proposed James Surls Museum for Carbondale. We have known James and his wife, Charmaine, for over 10 years and never realized his reputation as an internationally recognized sculptor. Recently we did visit his studio up on Missouri Heights and were just astounded and amazed at his collection and its beauty. We are grateful that Jim Calaway and others have recognized the benefit of his art and want to share it with our community and others. What a gracious undertaking this is and the economic benefit to our community will be appreciated by all of us. This will further add to the reputation of Carbondale as an art center in Colorado. We encourage the trustees and citizens of our community to come together and support the James Surls Museum. Frank and Rosie McSwain Carbondale

Dear Editor: The recent Karen Chamberlain Poetry Festival did Carbondale much honor by virtue of having been the most exciting con-
vergence of readers and writers that Colorado has ever seen. Though I’ve decades of involvement with poetry and poets, I found the event easily the most impressive creative occasion I’ve ever experienced Three years ago the annual convention of Associated Writing Programs (AWP) brought thousands of literature students, poets, publishers and teachers to Denver, yet none of its sessions were anywhere near as intensely exciting as those of the Karen Chamberlain Poetry Festival. Hats off, therefore, to Valerie Haugen and Art Goodtimes as organizers of this outstanding convergence of talent. Reg Saner Boulder
Thanks to TRTC Dear Editor: Thanks to Valerie Hagen and Lon Winston of Thunder River Theatre for a great Karen Chamberlain Poetry Festival. It was fun coming to Carbondale, hearing great poetry in performance, renting a lovely place above town and eating at the local restaurants. I can’t wait until next year. Art Goodtimes Norwood

Carbondale restaurant scene perks up with new venues, expanded menus By Jane Bachrach Sopris Sun Staff Writer Foodies last year became alarmed with what they described as a loss of momentum in Carbondale’s restaurant scene. More than one reliable fave closed and nothing new was happening. Whether Carbondale’s restaurant reputation was actually in decline is debatable but recent events show that “big Mo,” is back, and there’s plenty to talk about over breakfast lunch or dinner these days. So, go buy a new pair of jeans (one size larger than you now wear) and without leaving your seat, The Sopris Sun will take you on a Carbondale restaurant mini- tour.
The Goat The Goat Kitchen & Bar has actually been open since late 2011. Owners Pagge Wheatly and Stacy Baldock opened quietly and served only lunches until they closed Hestia, their popular Main Street eatery last October. It was important, according to Baldock, that their staff all had jobs if they wanted them and a place to go to after Hestia closed. Then, last October, after Hestia closed, the staff at the Goat was in place and the pair started serving dinners at the Goat. Now they serve lunch seven days a week, dinner Monday through Saturday and breakfast on weekends. The Goat is much smaller than was Hestia. Stacy said they want to be in the business for the long term and their space now is “more appropriate for a year-round populace.” As for the menu, “It’s Hestia meets the Goat for now, keeping some of the past but excited for a new direction. We’re excited to expose Carbondale to some future new flavors and its time to evolve from Hestia,” Stacy said, explaining that at Hestia, it locked them into a certain type of food genre. Stacy and Pagge said they like being off the beaten path, although they’re only one mile north of Main Street. “The Goat is a comfortable spot for our customers,” Stacy said. The Goat seats about 35 inside, but with the outdoor patio, those numbers will expand. “We feel this current restaurant is right for us. We’re excited this is the right size the right venue … and we feel like we’ve come home,” Stacy concluded. The Goat is located at 995 Cowen Drive, Call 963-GOAT.
Fold Nestled behind Tylerware in the Carbondale Business Lofts is Fold Community Kitchen. Being located in Satank, Fold is just a hop skip and a jump from Dos Gringos and the Goat. Owner/chef Noella Figueroa is using a farm-to-table model. She said she will source as many local ingredients as possible, such as Milagro beef and Defiant Bean for a special coffee blend. However because Noella wants to provide flavorful options for everyone, she will have to order certain things outside of Colorado such as tuna fish for tuna sandwiches. Noella trained under a master French pastry chef in Seattle and has worked with a number of chefs before moving to Santa Fe and working as executive chef in two restaurants there. She now lives in Carbondale, where she and her fiancé recently bought a
Señor Taco Show on Fourth Street offers seven kinds of tacos, plus steak, tongue, carnitas, quesadillas, cervice and guacamole. The establishment is owned and operated by the Curiel family: Francisco, Marisol, Emmanuel and Marylou. Photo by Jane Bachrach home. Noella said her staff is integral to the success of the restaurant: sous chef Caroline Glover studied at the CIA In New York; Francisca Ochoa does prep and is training for line work; Tobyn Britt is doing “front of the house.” According to Noella, Fold Community Kitchen will serve breakfast and lunch Wednesday through Saturday and brunch all day Sunday. “We will serve community dinners with a set menu, depending on what’s available locally on Friday nights. The menu will “be changing weekly and daily” based on what’s available Noella said. “We’ll have about four or five breakfast items to choose from, around six lunch items and a set menu for our community dinners. We will be doing special wine pairings with community dinners, which start at 6:15 p.m. “You need reservations, as there will be different seatings,” Noella said. What’s ahead? Cooking classes for kids start at the end of June and Noella is working on a prepared foods program and looking forward to community dinners to expand to two nights. Fold Community Kitchen is located off Highway 133 at 1909 Delores Way, Carbondale. 963-1163.

(Señor )Taco Show SeñorTaco Show might be called “All in the Family,” and is already a hit after being open for only a month. Located in the Churchill Building across the street from Steve’s Guitars on Fourth Street, Señor Taco Show IS a family affair, and a family that you will immediately fall in love with. With warm, friendly service, and homemade tacos (prepared from scratch using family recipes), this show won’t be cancelled anytime soon. The Curiel family owns and runs the entire “show.” The cast of characters include the dad (Francisco, who does the cooking), daughters (Marisol and Emmanuel) Fran-
cisco’s wife (Marylou) and a family friend. “My lovely wife Marylou is the soul of the business,” Francisco said. Francisco has lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for 21 years. He quit painting to cook. “I love Carbondale. I wanted to open in Carbondale because it’s a unique town. The people are so friendly and easy-going,” he said. Francisco said much of his food comes from Colorado and he hopes to get as much locally as he can, including vegetables and meat. Francisco also makes his own salsas and fresh dressings. Senior Taco Show serves seven kinds of tacos, plus tongue, steak, carnitas, quesadillas, ceviche and guacamole. Señor Taco Show is open Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and 5 to 10 p.m. The phone number is 510-5363.
Coming soon True Nature Tearoom on Third Street this summer or fall, menu and offerings still to be determined. Hattie Thompson’s at River Valley Ranch, following a major renovation and redesign. Hattie’s will be run by Chris Norvell who owned Epicurious in El Jebel until closing his doors for the final time last week.
Other changes: • Fatbelly on Main Street is now owned by the Jacober family. The menu will stay the same. They are discussing some possible cosmetic changes to the property but nothing major. • The Third Street Café in the Third Street Center will expand its outdoor seating in the next few weeks. Other changes are planned. • Coming to Dos Gringos this summer: new smoothies and “kick-ass” salads, plus a garden so “source to consumer” will be about 20 feet.

Roaring Fork High School students helped organize and run an assembly dedicated to Jennifer Nevarez on Monday. Many boys wore pink T-shirts, while girls were encouraged to dress in pink and wear high heels (which Jennifer loved). Students prepared a slide show and shared a video of Jenny dancing — another one of her favorite activities. They also set up a table in the school entryway with a picture of Jenny and a few candles, and the memorial quickly filled two more tables with flowers, balloons, stuffed animals and letters. Staffers say there was a very quiet, respectful feeling in the school throughout the day. Photo by Sue Rollyson

Do you remember when the Carbondale Fire District bought it’s first fire truck? How about when Carbondale Union High School was renamed Roaring Fork High School? Or when the Sopris Park gazebo was built? (See answers below). If you remember any of those things, you might be able to help Linda Romero Criswell with her Carbondale Timeline project, which starts at 43,000 B.C.E. (the approximate date of a mastodon site found “near” Carbondale), starts gathering steam in 1879 (Myron Thompson settles in the Carbondale) and comes to a halt in 2012 with the opening of the Thompson House Museum. Criswell said some eras are better documented than others because there were many years when Carbondale did not have its own newspaper. In any case, there are several events that she knows of but needs a year to put with them, including: roof of Berry’s Garage collapses due to snow, the first Carbondale Talent Show, Main Street is paved, Sosirine Bon’s house blows up from a gas leak (the Sun’s resident geezer can only place this even to the mid-1980s), Crystal River Orchestra founded, Crystal River Ballet Company founded, Crystal River Opera Company founded, Roaring Fork Review newspaper published, Carbondale Community Theatre founded, first women in the fire department, “three monkeys in a town of 600,” town water chlorinated, City Market replaces Circle Super, Carbondale Public Arts Commission established, the last coal train through town, Crystal Village approved (“Carbondale jumps the highway), when the Hispanic population hit 25 percent, and the Pioneer Project. If you’ve got a pretty good bead on these events or want to suggest other important events, e-mail the Mt. Sopris Historical Society at mtsoprishistoricalsociety@yahoo.com or Criswell at branch.irc@gmail.com.

So that was the deal On the evening of April 7, many Roaring Fork Valley residents were left scratching their heads when they received an emergency weather alert they’d never signed up for. While Pitkin and Garfield counties have offered an opt-in program for such alerts for some time, this turned out to be the first use of a new system put together by the FCC Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA). Although the storm was still more than a day out and was, more destined for the Front Range than the Western Slope, the FCC was likely eager to test out its new program, which officially launched the same day. No word yet on how frequently we can expect to receive WEAs in the future.

Spellbinders presents Kendall Haven Scientist turned storyteller By Catherine Johnson Sopris Sun Contributor After graduating from West Point, serving his ďŹ ve-year Army career as a researcher, getting his PhD in oceanography and serving as a senior researcher with the federal Department of Energy, Kendall Haven seemed destined for a life of scientiďŹ c research. Then, the unexpected happened. One day in the park, he was telling his nephew a story and looked up to see 80 strangers were listening. “I was just making up a story to keep him from running around,â€? Haven said. “I realized all these people were listening because we instantly treat stories differently than the same information in any other type of narrative. I decided to drop out of the world of science and become a storyteller. I was 36 years old. My family thought I was going through a midlife crisis.â€? In the 30 years since that ďŹ rst story, Haven has performed for total audiences of more than ďŹ ve-million people in 42 states and four foreign countries, and won numerous awards both for his story-writing and story-telling. In the process, Haven never gave up science. He discovered the ďŹ rst-ever scientiďŹ c proof that humans are hardwired to think, to create meaning, to understand and to remember in and through story structure. Haven has brought science to story, and story-science to the art of communication to guide dozens of organizations, agencies and corporations to widen and deepen the impact of their outreach communications. Spellbinders is bringing Haven to Carbondale for three days to entertain with storytelling, and teach groups as di-
verse as parents, grandparents, teachers and business leaders how to use the science behind story to connect with their audience. Spellbinders trains individuals in the art of oral storytelling and places these individuals as volunteer storytellers in local schools to complement teachers’ literacy building efforts. Storytellers return to the same classrooms each month, forming mentoring relationships with children that last throughout the year and sometimes continue for several years.
Events include: • “Stories of neighborhood magic and reluctant heroes,â€? on April 28 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at the Third Street Center. Tickets are $10 or $25 for a family of four. Haven will take the audience on a journey to the farthest reaches of its imagination. It’s an adventure for elementary students to graduate students, children to grandparents.

Happy Trails
KDNK members celebrated the community access radio station’s 30th birthday on Sunday with a chili cook-off, one of Vickie Browne’s gigantic chocolate layer cakes, some beverages and lots of laughs. The bash was also a farewell party for longtime DJ Cowboy Randy (upper left), who is moving to Ecuador with his wife, Kate, later this year. That’s station Steve Skinner presenting a “gold record.” After the presentation, everyone sang Cowboy Randy’s signoff song – “Happy Trails.” In other notable photos: the station unveiled its latest recognition plaque, made possible by a donation from Jim and Connie Calaway (shown here); folks also said goodbye to DJ Barry Sheehan and wife Laurel, who are moving to Maryland at the end of the week (center).

SUSTAINABILITY - What is it, why does it matter? By Sue Gray Sopris Sun Contributor In recent years, the word “sustainable” has appeared more frequently in the media and general conversation. It has increasingly replaced “ecological” and “environmental” in our lexicon as we’ve become more aware of global climate systems and the interrelatedness of all life. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says sustainability is “based on a simple principle: Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony.” The need for immediate awareness and action to preserve our environment is evidenced in the following quote by Thom Hartmann: “Since this time yesterday, over 200,000 acres of rainforest have been destroyed. … Fully 13 million tons of toxic chemicals have been released into our environment. Over 45,000 people have died from starvation. … And more than 130 plant and animal species have been driven to extinction by the actions of humans. And all this just since yesterday.” In the face of these disturbing statistics, it’s hard to imagine that we as individuals can have any hope of making a difference. But those figures are the cumulative impact of billions of people — all of us really. One person wasting a gallon of water seems like nothing, but 500 million people wasting a gallon contributes to the adverse effects of drought on all of us. What we do or don’t do in our daily lives adds up to a lot in the end. Every decision matters to some degree.
Beyond recycling Recycling is probably the single most sustainable practice in use for both households and businesses in America. Thanks to an aggressive public awareness campaign begun over 20 years ago, recycling has become commonplace. From 1990 to 2010, paper recycling increased more than 89 percent, and over 87 percent of Americans now have access to paper recycling programs. The most recycled material in America is the aluminum beverage can and the resulting energy savings are quite significant. Recycling saves 95 percent of the energy used to make a can from new aluminum. Recycling one aluminum can saves the equivalent of the energy in half a gallon of gasoline or three hours of the electricity used by your television. Still, there is so much more we could do. Up to 70 percent of recyclable waste is being thrown out, and 25 million plastic bottles enter our nation’s landfills every hour. If we composted the 21.5 million tons of food waste generated each year, it would produce the same reduction in greenhouse gas as eliminating 2 million cars. Likewise,
if every American recycled even one-tenth of their newspapers, 25 million trees would be saved every year. But it goes way beyond recycling. Sustainable practices extend to conservation of energy and water, healthy food production, efficient transportation, smart homebuilding, organic gardening, minimizing consumerism, community planning and much more.
A page is born In an ideal world, we would all do everything necessary to maintain our environmental stability. In most cases, the willingness and ability to do our part is there. The problem seems to be that many of us don’t know what more we can do. How can we better conserve energy and water, promote healthy food systems and prevent the rainforest from being destroyed? The Sopris Sun, in cooperation with the town of Carbondale Environmental Board, will attempt to answer those questions with a series of articles that explore a multitude of options for living sustainably. If we all do whatever we can, and teach our children to do the same, it will considerably lessen human impact on our environment over the long run. Every month, The Sopris Sun’s Sustainable Living page will consist of an article and further resources on a given topic, as well as a related coloring activity for kids. Parents and teachers are encouraged to use this page as a tool for imparting awareness to children. The fate of future generations ultimately depends on the success of our species to live sustainably. Businesses, organizations and individuals interested in bringing environmental awareness to our community are invited to participate by underwriting and/or advertising on this page.

THIS WEEK FLATIRON CONSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN MOVING MORE EQUIPMENT TO THE ABC PEDESTRIAN UNDERPASS CONSTRUCTION SITE IN ASPEN
Speeds on SH 82 will be reduced from 50 mph to 35 mph for the duration of the project. A temporary traffic signal will be installed on the Aspen side of the airport terminal traffic circle. Expect slight delays. During construction, pedestrians must use the signaled crosswalk at the intersection of SH 82 and the airport.
roadwork ahead!
Colorado Department of Transportation planner Dan Roussin and Garfield County planner Tamra Allen met recently with a delegation of Satank residents to explore ways to improve the problematic Dolores Way intersection. With CDOT ruling out a traffic light because it would be too close to the Village Road signal, a future 3-sided roundabout at the entrance to Grand Junction Pipe/La Fontana may be the best answer, according to some attending the meeting. Stay tuned. Photo by Lynn Burton

Susie’s Consignments: Branching out to Willits
Celebrate Spring!
By S. Michael Jundt November of 1991 may have heralded the birth of Susan Harvey’s first consignment store in Aspen, but Harvey’s passion for second-hand wears began many years earlier and 2,000 miles to the east. A New York native, Susan got hooked on the business while working at the Junior League Second Hand Shop in New Haven, Connecticut. Susie’s success in Aspen is branching out, and on April 18 you can join Susan in celebrating the grand opening of her new store in Basalt’s Willits Town Center. Susan, who first became acquainted with Aspen through ski trips with her dad, spent 18 years as a ski instructor in Snowmass Village.“But it was the second-hand business that always called out to me,” she says. “It was while managing Gracy’s consignment that friends of mine came into the shop telling me about a cute house on Hopkins for rent and Susie’s Consignments suddenly found itself a home. Twenty-two years later we’re still in Aspen, although we’ve moved to Main Street, but I’m really excited to have this new location in Willits.” And it’s not just locals that shop Susie’s. There is a group of lawyers from Washington, D.C., who come out twice a year to embellish their wardrobes with suits and sport coats, and three dresses from Susie’s have attended three different inaugural balls. Numerous brides have been married in dresses from Susie’s and even featured in high-end magazines. One bride, whose dress became lost in an airline luggage transfer, wrote that she liked the replacement dress she found at Susie’s even better than the original. Susan is also a sponsor for The Day of Giving, an event that donates thousands of clothing items to those in need through St. Mary’s church in Aspen. “It’s important to give back,” said Susan. “We are so blessed to live in this valley but not everyone has their needs met. The Day of Giving is a way to provide for others.” Susie’s has an eclectic mix of clothing and home furnishings, with a unique atmosphere. One couple, now married for many years, actually met and fell in love while shopping Susie’s.

He was a member of American Legion Posts 510 and 182; VFW Post 261; the USS LSM-LSMR Association; the Indiana Volunteer Firefighters Association, Inc.; past-chief of the Brown County Fire Department; the Indiana Motor Transportation Association (IMTA); and was involved in the state and national rodeo for trucking competitions where he won state several times and placed third on the national level.

Trudi Peet
Three easy ways to support the Sun

She was surrounded by her devoted husband, Gerry Knapp, and her beloved dogs. Born in St. Paul, Minn. In the 1950s she came to Aspen with her family, decided the town was meant for her and stayed. A nationally known equestrian and artist of multiple medias, some of the happiest moments of her life were competing in the 1972 Dressage Olympic Trials. Trudi is survived by her husband, Gerry Knapp; sons Jess Pedersen and wife Nina, and Christoper Janney and wife Justine, and her five grandchildren, Olivia, Oskar, Leo, James and Michael.

It takes a village to educate a child (RFHS). Last week we saw groundbreaking for the foundation, and five dedicated students spending their Sunday turning their ideas into reality with their building mentor Mark Regan and numerous community volunteers. This Sunday,April 21, Houses For Higher Education and RFHS will team up for a good old-fashion community “barn-raising.” It’s called“Building Earth On Earth Day”spring clean up day in the high school gardens from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Beyond being a great way to celebrate Earth Day, this is a day for the community to show its support, celebrate student accomplishments and lend a hand. At the school on the same day, CMC environmental science students will be creating a “food forest,” which is an ecosystem created to produce healthy, sustainable foods. In the 2013-2014 academic year, H4HE will introduce and implement a Design + Build course at Roaring Fork, Basalt, Glenwood Spring and Yampah high schools with a goal of working with 40-plus students. As we look to the future of this program it is the goal of H4HE to move beyond traditional ca-
RFHS workday celebrates Earth Day By Rachel Connor There is a new hands-on course being offered in Roaring Fork Valley high schools.As in their other classes, students receive a grade, they have to commit to showing up and there are weekly assignments. This is unlike their typical classes. It’s fundamentally about one thing: doing. Students get their hands on all the things their minds are trying to learn in the classroom. Their time is spent making, creating and building tangible, real things that they can step back from and be proud of. Their final project is a building. It’s a building imagined and built by each student with the help of their communities, a building that will be a tangible reward for all the creativity and hardwork they offer over the course of a year. The year-long, elective-credit course titled Design + Build is the result of a small,dedicated group of educators and builder and community members who want to provide our youth with the experiences that connect work in the classroom to work in the real world. Houses for Higher Education (H4HE) was officially founded in early 2011 and this spring will see the completion of a second Design + Build project by Roaring Fork High School students. Acting as the designers, students are mentored by local architects, participating in everything from client interviews to the creation of final construction documents. Local builders and contractors from our community join the team to work directly with the students on everything from material takeoffs and pricing, to building the structure from the ground up. This year Donna Riley (of Donna Riley Architects) worked one-on-one with students to design a much-needed garden shed for the AgBio Program at Roaring Fork High School
reer skill training to provide an educational experience that allows students with a chance to imagine solutions, sketch solutions, design solutions, model solutions, test solutions, redesign solutions, describe and articulate solutions and implement solutions to real-world challenges. Design it. Build it. Design + Build. The strength of the program lies in community engagement and working with the extensive professional talent we have in the Roaring Fork Valley to provide a meaningful context for learning and in the process knocking down that invisible wall between schools and their communities. We are pushing students out the door to tackle real-world problems while bringing community mentors in the door to share what they know. It will be happening this Sunday at Roaring Fork High School and will be happening for years to come. Join H4HE as we invest in our valley’s youth.
