What do Flint (Michigan) and Carbondale have in common? Not their water quality By John Colson Sopris Sun Staff Writer Does Carbondale’s drinking water contain lead that has leached from the town’s water delivery system? The short answer is, not as far as local officials know. Ever since the news broke that residents of the city of Flint, Michigan was suffering from lead poisoning in its municipal water
Introducing the all new...
system, towns all over the U.S. have been wondering if they have the same problem. And the question does not seem to be one that can easily be answered. A Feb. 8 a New York Times article reported unsafe lead levels have recently turned up in Washington, D.C.; Durham and Greenville, N.C.; and Jackson, Miss, to name just a few. While lead water pipes were federally banned more than three decades ago, according to the article, there are millions of instances of lead pipes in the ground that
predate the ban, most of them in the “service pipe” networks that carry water into homes or businesses. A Feb. 4 story in the Washington Post reported that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has uncovered data indicating that more than 40 percent of the states that reported lead-test results in 2014 (a total of 27 states) “have higher rates of lead poisoning among children than Flint.” The Post article, while pointing out that leaded paint on the walls of millions of aging homes and apartment buildings is far more

hazardous than lead pipes carrying drinking water, also noted that lead contamination from water pipes has been a problem “for decades.” Well, here in Carbondale citizens can rest easy on that point, at least, as town officials say there are no lead pipes in the town’s water system, at least “none that we are aware of.” There are, however, some copper pipes, said Carbondale Utility Director Mark O’Meara, and he noted that copper poses some potential health problems, although “maybe not as dangerous” as lead pipes.

New HEAL coalition creating healthy life-style options By Margaret Donnelly If you attended Carbondale’s First Friday on April 1, you may have noticed a theme regarding “Spring Into Wellness.” The goal was to familiarize residents of the town of Carbondale with the amazing variety of groups, businesses and organizations in town that revolve around Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) to promote overall well being. This was the second year for “Spring Into Wellness,” and is the brainchild of Rita Marsh. Rita was a key member in helping get the Carbondale Board of Trustees to pass a resolution on June 23, 2015, to have the town of Carbondale join the HEAL Cities & Towns Campaign of Colorado. Rita worked in conjunction with Jeff Jackel and Eric Brendlinger (recreation director and manager respectively) as well as a coalition of community members to help this resolution come to life. The main goal of a HEAL town or city is to create a policy to help elected officials recognize that HEAL guidelines are critical components to a healthy lifestyle. After the town trustees passed the HEAL resolution, I was hired to make sense of it all. It turns out that was not as easy as I thought. After a few months of meetings I found out, in laymen’s terms, the following: the Colorado government, in conjunction with several nonprofits, is working to create funding in the form of scholarships and grants to help towns provide services and activities that promote wellness through HEAL. It is each town’s responsibility to identify those needs, apply for the grants and to make it happen. On Feb. 11, 2016, I re-activated the HEAL coalition in Carbondale. About 15 minutes into the first meeting our purpose became clear. The HEAL coalition is a place for people in the health and wellness industry to come together, create collaborations, find ways to make their visions come to life, and make them available and affordable to the public. During that first meeting we went around the table and introduced ourselves: what entities we were representing; and the ideas, goals, or visions we had for what it was to be well, eat healthy or to live actively. We found that many people had the same goals. For example, we learned the Valley Settlement Project is concerned with health and nutrition for people new to the valley, but was unaware of all the programs available to youth, adults and seniors through the Carbondale Recreation Center. Since the initial meeting, the two organizations have met to review the programs, share information to help low-income families apply for scholarships, and to establish program contacts for non-English speakers.
monthly) and larger grants (up to $5,000 twice a year) to help fund HEAL projects. “Spring into Wellness” was partially funded by one of the smaller scholarships. Diana Alcantara, with the Carbondale Community School Learning Garden, was awarded one of the larger grants. Part of awarding this larger grant to Diana was due to collaboration with several other organizations on the coalition. During that first meeting, we were able to identify the availability of a garden bed at the Carbondale Recreation Center; we also identified scholarships from the town of Carbondale and Valley Settlement Project. These in-kind donations helped to provide matching funds for Diana to go through the grant-approval process. Now, thanks to Diana, there will be Garden Boot Camp 4 Kids ages 5 and up at the Carbondale Community School, and Carbondale Recreation Center. These classes will teach kids gardening skills, plant identification and nutrition information, as well as provide healthy lunches. Additionally, the town of Carbondale as a municipality is also required to help move forward as a HEAL community. The Carbondale Recreation Department has decided that over the next two years we will add some type of physical activity to all town-sponsored events. The first event was the For Peep’s Sake 5K Scavenger Hunt, held in conjunction with the town’s Easter egg hunt for kids. HEAL’s second activity will be held during Oktoberfest. I have a great idea for something fun, and I cannot wait to see it in action. We are also looking forward to providing only healthy vending machine options on town of Carbondaleowned property. These are just a few examples of ideas we were able to make realities in just three months. With about 20 organizations represented on the coalition, we hope to collaborate and produce many more ideas and proposals. Some of the future thoughts and ideas include: finding space for a commercial kitchen to help bring community garden food to peoples’ tables; creating grassroots share-a-ride networks to help homebound seniors get to activities offered in the area; and finding ways for community gardeners to partner with schools to provide additional fresh food for lunches. Please let me know if you have any ideas or would like to join HEAL in any way!

Rio Grande Trail info
The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) manages the greatest portion of the Rio Grande Trail, which runs from Glenwood Springs to Aspen, according to RFTA’s website. Train operations in the corridor ceased in phases, between the 1960s and the mid 1990s. In 1997 the right-ofway corridor was purchased with funding by local governments, Great Outdoors Colorado, Pitkin County Open Space and Trails, and the Colorado Department of Transportation. RFTA now manages and maintains the trail corridor, in conjunction with Pitkin County Open Space and the City of Aspen, in their respective jurisdictions. Graphic courtesy RFTA
RFTA rolls out plan for the Rio Grande ArtWay Funding still an issue By John Colson Sopris Sun Staff Writer Plans moved forward last week for the Rio Grande ArtWay through Carbondale, although it is not likely that actual work on the gardens, supplemental trails, sculpture installations and other aspects of the ArtWay will begin until summer at the earliest, and perhaps not until next year. Amy Kimberly, executive director of the Carbondale Council on Arts and Humanities and a main driver behind plans to make Carbondale a designated “Creative District,” said roughly 35 people took part in a meeting on April 14 between CCAH and the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA), which controls the Rio Grande Trail as it winds through town. “It went great,” Kimberly recalled. “It was a pretty diverse swath of the community, and everybody was pretty positive.” The plan behind the ArtWay effort is to beautify the trail as it runs through Carbondale, with a variety of locally-sponsored, volunteer-initiated projects. “It is a collaborative project with the (proposed) Carbondale Creative District and RFTA,” Kimberly explained. Kimberly has also been working on CCAH’s application with the state to become certified as a Creative District, which is due on April 28.
Part of Creative District The ArtWay is part of a broader planning effort headed up by Kimberly, the
Carbondale Creative District Committee, which has Kimberly teaming up with officials of the Town of Carbondale, Colorado Creative Industries (a division of the Colorado office of Economic Development and International Trade created by Gov. John Hickenlooper) and a team of consultants. After CCAH won a Governor’s Arts Award in 2012, through Colorado Creative Industries, Kimberly and a platoon of volunteers began work on making Carbondale one of the state’s newly designated Creative Districts, putting it in line for state assistance and recognition as a town that relies heavily on artists and other creative types for its economic vitality. The proposed Carbondale Creative District got the support of the Town of Carbondale at about the same time, in the form of a $3,500 donation authorized by the Board of Trustees for the 2013 budget, and won additional state backing in 2014 with a $5,000 grant and a promise of “inkind” assistance to get the Creative District effort going. An additional grant of $3,500 from the town a year later, along with $2,500 from a private donor, have helped the planning to the point where last year the district was accepted formally into the state’s Creative District program, and won a $10,000 grant from the state and a pledge for $5,000 more from the town in 2016. Along the way, in 2014 according to the Rio Grande ArtWay master plan, organizers came up with the augmentation of the trail as a project under Creative District auspices, in consultation with RFTA’s Rio Grand Trail coordinator Brett Mered-
ith. The “preliminary master plan” for the ArtWay was drawn up this year by Acre Narrative Design of Carbondale, paid for by RFTA. The Creative District itself encompasses the part of town south of the Rio Grande Trail, including the historic buildings and businesses along Main Street, up Fourth Street past The Launch Pad where CCAH has its offices and R2 Gallery, and on to the Third Street Center, home to a number of artist studios, nonprofits and other organizations. The Creative District effort will be heralded next month, when the Creative Industries Summit takes place in Carbondale from May 4-6, including a kick-off event in the Dolores Way neighborhood. The Rio Grande ArtWay project is meant to be part of the overall Creative District concept.
The ArtWay plan A preliminary master plan for the Rio Grande ArtWay, complete with proposed changes to the trail and the adjacent RFTA-owned grounds, can be found at the RFTA website (www.rfta.com) by clicking on the “Railroad Corridor” button at the top of the home page and scrolling down to Trail Documentation. The master plan is under Public Comment on the left-and side of the Documentation page. Among the ArtWay design ideas known so far is the proposed Latino Folk-Art garden on RFTA-owned ground where the trail intersects 8th Street. The design and makeup of the Folk-Art Garden, Kimberly said, will be up to the
Latino community, working through the Valley Settlement Project, an adjunct of the Manaus Fund with an office in the Third Street Center. Kimberly said the planning for the Folk-Art Garden has scarcely begun, just as planning for much of the greater ArtWay is in its early stages. But, she said with a tone of excitement, “We’ll see what they come up with.” She said plans also call for erection of a “gateway arch” at the juncture of the trail with Highway 133, built out of bicycle parts, to act as an entrance to a stretch of trail-side park land leading eastward to the Folk-Art Garden at 8th Street. “We’re calling it a ‘linear park,’” Kimberly said of the strip of park development. In addition to the Folk-Art Garden, Kimberly said, the Carbondale Public Arts Commission is expected to help with the placement of sculptures along the trail at certain points, in keeping with the town’s long-standing public-art programs. And as part of the planning for the beautification of the trail, there is to be a “soft-surface” trail next to the pavement for hikers and runners, as well as a “singletrack” for bicyclists along one stretch of the trail.
RFTA’s participation For RFTA’s part, according to Meredith, the transit agency paid the $3,000 or so for the master plan, which Meredith said will probably be finalized some time this summer. The soft-surface portion of the trail augmentation project, he said, is meant to ARTWAY page 8

Dandelion Day getting back to its roots By John Colson Sopris Sun Staff Writer
The Parade of the Species has been a longrunning attraction at Carbondale’s Dandelion Day. If anyone can remember, or thinks they can remember, about when the parade first made its way into the Dandelion Day lineup, please e-mail news@soprissun.com and include any printable memories that would back your claim. Sopris Sun file photo
It is time once again to celebrate the dandelion, Carbondale’s humble municipal flower, with the annual extravaganza in Sopris Park known as Dandelion Day, which this year falls on May 7, according to a Web site dedicated to the event (www.dandelionday.org). Dandelion Day is now in its 18th year and is sponsored by the Environmental Board, or E-Board as it is known, which is an advisory board appointed by the elected Carbondale Board of Trustees. This year’s event has been consolidated to a single day of programs, according to Dandelion Day Committee member Candace Goodwin, who also is a past member of the E-Board. Others on the committee are Alyssa Reindel, Sue Gray and Robin Van Norman, all of whom are listed on the Web site with contact information. The day’s events kick off at 10 a.m. with the annual Parade of Species down Main Street from east to west, ending at Sopris Park. In past years the parade has attracted a fairly wild set of entrants in costumes that celebrate and promote the theme of environmentally friendly and sustainable living. Along with the parade participants (costumed and otherwise) will be a troop
of African dancers and drummers, Goodwin said, who will provide the beat and visual accompaniment to supplement the antics of the costumed revelers. At the park, events will proceed on a somewhat loosely-written schedule until about 2 p.m. “It’s fun because it gets mixed up every year,” Goodwin said of the schedule. She said the day’s entertainment is set to begin with tiny ballet dancers from the Bonedale Ballet company performing on the stage, followed by the Dandelion Day songwriters’ showcase, featuring local musicians performing songs they’ve written around the themes of Dandelion Day. “It brings out a lot of creativity and fun,” said Goodwin, adding that the songwriting showcase may be followed by impromptu dance performances by kids or adults on the stage. In addition to the fun on the stage, she said, there will be four educational workshops in The Learning Tent set up on the park grounds. The workshops, she said, last about 45 minutes each and will be dealing with the themes of Dandelion Day — alternative energy, energy conservation, sustainable living and fun as a core value of life. Local musicians will bring the day’s events to a close at about 2 p.m., Good-
win reported. Organizers deliberately tried to keep the 2016 Dandelion Day “more manageable” than it had become in recent years, when past organizers added events and added days to the annual celebration, Goodwin said. One reason for trimming the Dandelion Day schedule, she said, was that this year it will conflict with other planned events, which might cut down on public participation either with Dandelion Day or the other events, a result the committee wanted to avoid. The most important thing, Goodwin said, was “just to focus on the message of sustainability and environmental consciousness” rather than try to expand on the activities of the day. Goodwin also confirmed that the Dandelion Day Web site is still under construction due to organizational issues, but that it should be fully functional and ready for public perusal by the week of the event, and she urged those interested to check the Web site for any changes in scheduling or other information. She also noted that volunteers are still being sought for Dandelion Day. “We’d love to have more volunteers on the day of,” she explained, and suggested anyone interested should contact volunteer coordinator Robin Van Norman by e-mail at robinvannorman@gmail.com.

O’Meara said the town is required by a 1991 federal regulation, known as the “lead and copper rule,” to periodically test the water going into local homes to determine if lead is leaching into the flow. “I don’t think we’ve ever even come close to the threshold,” said O’Meara, who started working for Carbondale in 2007. He said he has gotten some calls about lead-piping in the water system and has explained that there is none that he knows of and that he feels there is no reason for concern in Carbondale. But, he added, some older homes may have lead-based solder in the joints of their water pipes, and the lead could be leaching into the water. O’Meara told The Sopris Sun that since the 1960s, when Carbondale began its modern growth spurt, it laid down water lines made primarily of cast iron or “ductile iron,” as well as a material known as PureCore, which is a flexible, plastic-based pipe that is no longer permitted under Carbondale’s code. As for the service lines carrying water into and throughout homes, he said, “All the lines that I have seen are either galvanized (iron) — and those are older lines — or copper. We have a lot of copper service lines.” Copper in drinking water reportedly has been tentatively linked with some adverse health effects, causing symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps and nausea, as well as liver damage and kidney disease, according to the Minnesota Department of Health’s (MDH) Web site (www.health.state.mn.us). But the MDH mainly warns that, if water in a home’s pipes has not been run for six hours or more, it should be allowed to run for 30-60 seconds before being consumed, because standing water tends to leach copper more readily than flowing water. The MDH site also contends that hot water tends to dissolve copper quicker than cold water does, so that water to be used for drinking or cooking “should not be drawn from the hot water tap,” nor should warm water from the tap be used for making baby formula.

ArtWay om page 3 reduce conicts between cyclists and pedestrians, and will likely be a surface of “crusher ďŹ nesâ€? or small gravel on the southern edge of the existing trail pavement, to accommodate everything from foot trafďŹ c to baby strollers. The single-track, Meredith said, is projected to be only along the stretch of trail between 8th Street and Highway 133, and is likely to be a dirt track on the north side of the paved trail where the right of way is wider than it is along other parts. Beyond his staff time and the money spent on the master planning effort, Meredith said, “I don’t have a whole lot of budget to focus on this.â€? He noted that it was more a matter of serendipity than actual intention that brought about RFTA’s participation in the ArtWay project, saying, “Carbondale has all the art stuff going on (and) the Rio Grande Trail bisects the town, so I think it’s pretty unique. This was kind of the right-place, righttime kind of thing.â€? But, he added, RFTA is open to consideration of similar trail augmentation ideas in the other towns in the valley, including Glenwood Springs and Basalt, although he was careful to add that RFTA is committed to maintaining “the rural character of the trail outside the town limits.â€?

Responding to Tesoro Dear Editor: I feel a need to respond to Scott Tesoro’s column titled “Wellness Paradigmâ€? in the April 14 issue of The Sopris Sun, since I’m the column-writing physician he’s talking about. A year ago, I retired after 42 years of practicing family medicine at Glenwood Medical Associates, where I started the Center for Heart Attack, Stroke and Diabetes Prevention some 13 years ago. I now have a nonproďŹ t called Prevention and Treatment of Disease Through Nutrition, am involved in education about the health beneďŹ ts of plant-based nutrition (that’s where the science led me), and do free consultations at the Third Street Center every Monday morning. Also, I write a weekly health tip for the Post Independent, which comes out in its Tuesday issue. So in spite of Scott’s lumping all allopathic physicians together, I’m all about “preventing ďŹ res rather than putting them out,â€? as he puts it. Several weeks ago my health tip in the Post Independent expressed concerns about ďŹ sh-oil supplements, and Scott later wrote a rebuttal. Based on his column in The Sopris Sun, it would appear that he did not read my response to his rebuttal, which reads as follows: I appreciate Scott Tesoro’s comments in his letter to the editor in the March 25th P.I., in response to my recent health tip column about plant versus animal sources of omega-3. But I feel some corrections are in order. One of the nutrition researchers I respect the most is Michael Greger, M.D., who with his staff analyzes all the English-language scientiďŹ c papers that come out on nutrition every year (there are thousands of them). He has a wonderful website, nutritionfacts.org, and recently came out with an excellent, evidence-based, well-referenced book called “How Not To Dieâ€? (from heart disease, prostate cancer, breast cancer, etc.). On page 20 of his book, he talks about a recent meta-analysis in the Journal of the American Medical Association that looked at the best randomized
clinical trials evaluating consumption of ďŹ sh and/or ďŹ sh oil supplements in relation to life span, cardiac death, sudden death, heart attack and stroke. No protective beneďŹ t was found. The researchers also found no beneďŹ t in people trying to prevent a second heart attack. The director of lipids and metabolism at Mount Sinai’s cardiovascular institute said that “given this and other negative meta-analyses, our job as doctors should be to stop recommending highly marketed ďŹ sh oil supplementation to all our patientsâ€?. I totally agree with Scott that indeed, we do need omega-3 for other aspects of health, and the World Health Organization and the European Food Safety Authority say you should get at least 0.5 percent of your daily calories from the short-chain omega-3 ALA, which you can easily get by eating a tablespoon of ground axseed  (and/or chia seeds) and a handful walnuts every day. Your body then elongates the short-chain omega-3 ALA  into the long-chain omega-3s EPA and DHA. As Dr. Greger points out on pages 410 and 411 of his book, the question is whether the body can convert enough for optimal brain health.â€? So to be on the safe side, he also  recommends 250 mg. a day of algae-derived omega-3, which is totally free of pollutants. This is somewhat more costly than ďŹ sh oil capsules, but I have found some that are quite cost-effective at Vitamin Cottage, and another cost-effective source is the website for Joel Fuhrman, M.D., author of many books including “Eat to Liveâ€? and more recently “The End of Heart Diseaseâ€?. The problem with ďŹ sh is that unfortunately, these days, our oceans and many of our rivers have become polluted by PCBs, heavy metals, and other industrial contaminants, which may help explain the studies that found adverse effects of ďŹ sh consumption on cognitive function in adults and children. In one study, even people who ate tuna or snapper just 3 or 4 times a month had elevated mercury levels and some cognitive decline. According to Dr. Greger, “even puriďŹ ed (distilled) ďŹ sh oil has been found to be contaminated with considerable amounts of PCBs and other pollutants, so much so that taken as directed, salmon, herring, and tuna oils would exceed the tolerable daily intake of toxicity.â€?

GarCo replacing PitCo Dear Editor: Former Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) board member Carbondale Trustee John Hoffmann’s recent outburst against the GarďŹ eld County Board of County Commissioners, along with Aspen Mayor Steve Skadron’s belligerence in stoking the
hot coals hotter, just wasn’t my cup of tea as other RFTA board members lost control of their ids. When I had my chance to speak to the RFTA board members on the issue I excoriated them in DEFENSE of the GarďŹ eld County Board of County Commissioners. Also I explained to them the principles of reasonable initial negotiating at the table and viewing and accepting things from the GarďŹ eld County ofďŹ cial  stance.  I foresee the possibility of Of course, the RFTA board, if they are wise enough, shifting substantial power and inuence from the Aspen socialist collective to the deserving and ďŹ scally prudent Board of GarďŹ eld County Commissioners, led by the erudite John “Wyattâ€? Martin. Why? Any academic can note the signs of the Aspen-Pitkin County axis’s waning sustainability as the region’s power, money inuence and vigorous business capital formation shift in favor of GarďŹ eld County. GarďŹ eld County is the undeniable regional start-up engine for dynamic economic and cultural growth for to morrow. RFTA’s future is with GarďŹ eld County, not Pitkin County.
