Wexner’s a bad deal Dear Editor: The time for public comment on the Wexner land exchange issue is ending, and we understand that people have so many other things on their minds.

Nevertheless, we are writing, once again, to protest, in the strongest terms possible, the Sutey Ranch Land Exchange.

This exchange is so wrong in so many ways we cannot address them all.

First of all, the “environmental assessment of the proposal” trumpeted by the BLM was funded by the Wexners. Therefore, it cannot be credible or objective.

This is a classic example of the fox guarding the hen house. The BLM, from the beginning, has appeared to favor this proposal. Awhile back, the BLM noted in a public Land Exchange Feasibility Analysis that “Most of the funding for processing this exchange will be provided by the Proponents.” Apparently the BLM supports private landowners instead of working to conserve public land.

This two-for-one exchange is shortsighted, ill planned and a blatant maneuver by a billionaire landowner to manipulate the community into allowing him to increase and consolidate his holdings to about 5,600 acres of private property, around the base of our beloved, signature mountain, Mount Sopris.

Steve Bennett, BLM field manager, was quoted recently in the Aspen Daily News (April 30), stating: “The BLM will only complete a land exchange if it is in the public’s interest.” In what universe is this exchange in the public’s interest? Once public land is traded away, it is gone. This exchange is setting a very bad precedent for future management of public lands. It shows that if you have enough money to hire enough lawyers and professional con-

sultants, you can pretty much manipulate public agencies to get anything you want.

The BLM, county and municipal agencies and boards, all of whom are supposed to guard the public trust, appear to be taken in by this scheme. Who then will protect public lands in the future? Bad public policy, like bad law, will not stand.

Crown Mountain thanks Dear Editor: Crown Mountain Park held its first annual tennis tournament in memory of a loved and local player whose passion for the game brought out 53 competitors (plus their teams, families, fans, and volunteers) to swing open the summer tennis season at Crown Mountain Park.

I’d like to thank all the participants, who came from near and far (Gypsum to New Castle) and volunteers for making the event a remarkable tribute to Lou’s spirit. Over the three days there were four events where players battled not only their competitors on the court but the weather.

The results were some tired, somewhat soggy, and happy finalists.

This event could not have been brought together without the sponsorship of Ted Bristol at UPS and donations from High Tone Automotive & Tire in Basalt, Sports Authority in Glenwood and The Colorado Lottery. In addition, special thanks go to Mo Marrs and Eileen Hinchcliffe for their support and guidance in making the event successful.

Crown Mountain Park looks forward to holding the tournament again next year and inviting more tennis players to show us their best serves.

Please visit the Crown Mountain Park

Feeling it Dear Editor: Several weeks after the Karen Chamberlain Poetry Festival, and I am still feeling the after effects. That’s how powerful it is when a group of people come together and open their hearts and dare to speak and really listen to each other.

And what a wonderful job Carbondale does hosting this festival. Over the years, there have been many other poetry festivals — Sparrows in Salida, Talking Gourds in Telluride — and this festival picks up where those left off.

Thanks to the careful planning of Valerie Haugen and Lon Winston, and thanks to the fabulous space of the Thunder River Theatre Company, Colorado’s poets now have an inspirational, central gathering place. I love coming to Carbondale — which already has such a thriving poetry community year round.

Long live the Karen Chamberlain Poetry Festival! Born out of the memory of one of your valley’s most beloved poets, the festival spreads Karen’s passion for poetry and positive energy all over the state as the poets return to their respective homes.

Thank you, Valerie and Lon, and thank you Carbondale.

Where is the curiosity?

Dear Editor: The local newspapers recently reported that the Roaring Fork school district has hired a new director of curriculum, assessment and instruction. This article also outlined the district’s focus for the coming years.

Here are some of the phrases that were in the article: “standards-based teaching … increased need to assist our schools in analyzing student data … measuring outcomes … more data crunching … tracking of students … increasing emphasis on standards-based education.”

Here are some phrases that were NOT in the article: “creating lifelong learners … fostering critical thinking skills … supporting children to become ingenious, out-of-the-box problem solvers … letting teachers decide appropriate academic strategies for their students … challenging gifted learners so they are not bored in school.”

After reading the same article, a friend of mine remarked, “Why don’t they hire a director of curiosity instead?”

This over-emphasis on data and standardized testing is dismaying. Children ARE NOT data! They are humans, filled with potential, who will thrive only if

they are properly supported in nurturing learning environments. Who decided that we need “standardized children” anyway? Shouldn’t our community be filled with “phenomenal, curious, happy children” instead?

Standardized curriculum and the use of standardized tests to “prove” student achievement is not unique to our local schools, it is an unfortunate national trend. The teaching-to-the test ideology permeates most decisions schools make for our children. But ask virtually any teacher, parent or student and they will tell you they do not like this system. So, why are we allowing our money to be spent on this system? It isn’t effective, it stifles teaching innovation, it prevents children from loving learning. Does our community really want our children to be standardized, test-taking automatons, or do we want our tax dollars spent to support deep, rich learning that produces bright, innovative citizens?

Here is a selection of comments I have heard recently from local parents and students I know: My child has so much homework, but I’m not sure he’s learning anything except how to take tests … my ninth grade math class is too easy but the school won’t allow me to take a higher level class … my fourth grader was up till 1 a.m. because of test anxiety … my sixth grader is afraid that his teacher will get fired if he doesn’t do well on the test.

Trustees choose Surls Museum; details remain Lease provisions, rezoning

By Lynn Burton Sopris Sun Staff Writer The Carbondale trustees chose Missouri Heights sculptor James Surls for the old library building on Tuesday night but his proposed museum is anything but a turnkey operation.

First, Surls and the town must agree to terms of a complicated lease. Then, if and when those details are hammered out, the trustees must rezone the property to allow for the museum — a process that includes at least two public hearings.

One lease provision suggested by trustee Allyn Harvey at Tuesday night’s meeting would allow either party to walk away from the lease at a designated point-in-time after the museum opens. “ … like five years, maybe,” Harvey told The Sopris Sun in a cell phone interview from the Village Smithy on Wednesday morning.

Despite several procedural hurdles the museum faces, Surls’ fund-raiser/promoter/friend Jim Calaway sounded nothing but upbeat after Tuesday night’s trustees meeting. He said the James Surls Museum non-profit plans to break ground on an expansion that will double the 3,800-footbuilding’s size in the first quarter of 2014 and open in the last quarter of the same year. “ … Tuesday night was a great night for the town,” Calaway said.

Last February, the town asked for requests for proposals (RFPs) from businesses and non-profits who want to rent the existing Gordon Cooper Library building after the new Carbondale Branch Li-

brary opens this summer. The town received RFPs from the Surls Museum, Family Enrichment Center (FEC) and Carbondale Performing Arts Academy. The museum and FEC quickly became head-tohead contenders for the old library.

Series of meetings Tuesday night’s meeting was the third in a series that also invited the applicants to pitch their proposals and for the public to tout their favorites.

Trustee John Hoffmann kicked off the discussion by proposing a month-long delay to give the town and others time to find a location for both the museum and FEC. Trustees Harvey and Pam Zentmyer agreed but the other four trustees didn’t.

Without much back-and-forth debate, each trustee then staked out his or her position during the next half-hour. Three of the six trustees who voted for the museum — Frosty Merriott, Elizabeth Murphy and Mayor Stacey Bernot — focused on the economic impacts they said the town would enjoy from the increased tourist traffic the museum would create. Harvey voted for the museum, calling it a “unique” opportunity, and said it’s a “big deal” that Surls would be curator.

Hoffmann reluctantly voted for the museum after Zentmyer cast the only “no’ vote. Zentmyer made several points. She said the FEC does provides economic development by creating jobs and doubted that as many tourists would visit the museum as its proponents predict, “ … being as hard as Carbondale is to get to.”

About 20-30 FEC supporters attended

the meeting. They started filing out of the trustee chambers a few minutes after the vote and congregated outside town hall in the cool night air.

“It’s a real shame,” a tearful supporter told FEC co-applicant Katherine Camp.

“I’m so sorry,” another one told Camp when they hugged. “You doin’ OK?” another asked Camp.

Some of the discussion Tuesday revolved around the town and trustees moving forward to address the need for day care and early childhood education, and to work toward solutions. Camp said the discussion

Moving forward

Back inside town hall after the vote and as FEC supporters drifted away, the trustees continued discussing possible lease provisions and related issues. Harvey said the trustees should put FEC and the broader need for day care and early childhood education on a future agenda. Earlier in the meeting he also said the trustees should organize a “charette” style public forum to discuss and hash out not only FEC-related issues, but those related to the Surls Museum as well.

Earlier, trustee Foulkrod pointed out his daughter pays $1,000 a month for day care and said “ … it can be a fairly lucrative business to be in.” He also questioned where the town is going in providing – Jim Calaway day care. “ … I don’t know … schools take in preschoolers … businesses prowas “empty talk.” She said if the trustees vided day care … I question whether town were serious about those issues, they would government needs to get involved.” have slowed down the process.

On Wednesday morning, Calaway sumCamp said she and the applicants who marized his vision for Carbondale and the joined together started looking for a home Surls Museum. For one thing, Surls is alfor their proposed Family Enrichment Cen- ready designing “in his head” a piece of ter five years ago, and eventually deter- sculpture 25-30 feet tall for the roundabout mined it’s not economically viable for them that the Colorado Department of Transto construct a building on raw land. portation has said it will construct at the “This (library) was a once-in-a-life-time intersection of Highway 133 and Main gem,” said initial FEC organizer Frances Street.

Center, the Carbondale Library, the Powers Art Center (which is supposed to open in the fall) and the Surls sculpture on Highway 133 and said “I think it (the museum) will really put Carbondale on the map.�

When asked about the estimated 10,000 out-of-town visitors the museum is expected to attract, he said “It’s a conservative number� and his optimism is backed by what project architect Andrea Korber learned at a recent conference on museums in Baltimore.

Calaway is a well-known philanthropist and was a prominent Democratic Party fundraiser in the late 1970s and into the 1980s. Locally, he and Alpine Bank founder Bob Young were the primary donors for the new Calaway-Young Cancer Center at Valley View Hospital. He also raised money to build the CARE animal rescue facility at Spring Valley and contributed to the Third Street Centr.

When asked from where he’s going to solicit funds for the James Surls Museum, he said he expects all or most of it to come from outside the Roaring Fork Valley, then chuckled “ ‌ most of the givers around here, I wore them out.â€?

In other action from Tuesday night’s board of trustees meeting: • Trustees granted a special-event liquor licenses to the Carbondale Chamber of Commerce for Bicycle Tour of Colorado festivities on June 24; • Voted to proceed with an easement vacation and lot line adjustment to allow for the Valley View Hospital clinic at Highway 133 and Sopris Avenue; • Heard an update from Pitkin County staff attorney Chris Seldin about the status of the joint review request from Pitkin County, Carbondale and Glenwood Springs concerning natural gas leases on Thompson Divide.

Letters continued om page 2 must start our own discussion, outside of the conventional school channels. Aspen is in a separate school district but they should also participate in this citizen-led forum. Our valley “community� really extends from Aspen to Glenwood and our children overlap at so many junctures.

Spring is a hectic time for families and teachers, so this conversation series will hap-

pen over the summer months. Hopefully, many citizens, parents, teachers and students will participate in the discussions in each town. If you think our schools can do better, please contact me now so that you can be invited once the dates and locations of these meetings have been established.

After all he was an all round swell guy, typifying the Carbondale spirit, and he used to hang around the valley when he wasn’t charging the San Juan Hill with his Rough Riders. But let’s get real; it’s really Lisa’s damn-fine-full-servicerestaurant and it’s in the Third Street Center, thus, instead, Lisa’s Third Street CafÊ.

Still, we don’t want to entirely let go of the Roosevelt thing. The Teddy bear was named after him, and we have hidden one in the restaurant.

If you or your child find it, you can cuddle it while you get HALF-OFF Lisa’s daily special, and then hide the teddy for the next person.

McGowan makes celebrated art show The Equine Dream art show and sale at the Western States Horse Expo in Sacramento, California has chosen Missouri Heights artist Robert McGowan to exhibit in its event on June 7-9. The show selected McGowan’s “Reflections” for its documentary photography category.

“Our art show has always been juried during its 15-year history,” said Miki Nelsen, owner and founder of the Western States Horse Expo. “This means that each art piece is carefully reviewed by a jury of knowledgeable art professionals. Only the best art pieces are selected to be in the show and sale. We have more than 50,000 people attend the Expo, and they know that the artists chosen are the best of the best.”

McGowan founded Visual West Photography in 1998 following a career on the East Coast as a photojournalist, corporate photographer and portrait specialist.

The show is featured in one of the huge buildings at the expo and displayed on lighted walls that form a labyrinth of artwork, inviting visitors to wander through the show and sale. The mediums range from oils to jewelry to sculptures to charcoal.

“Horse people are overwhelmingly dedicated to their horses,” Nelsen continued. “It’s more than just owning horses; it’s an entire lifestyle. Their clothes reflect their equine lifestyle, as well as their vehicles and homes. I’m willing to say that most homes of horse owners have equine artwork on their living room walls, on the kitchen counter, and even in their barns. Horse people are proud of their lifestyles, and their selection of artwork reflects that.”

Old art down, new arriving Sopris Sun Staff Report Carbondale town crews finished taking down the most recent Art aRound Town collection and are installing new art in the next few days. The Art aRound Town tour is slated for 5:30 p.m. on June 6, beginning at the corner of Third and Main street, followed by an artists reception at the River Valley Ranch sales barn from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., according to town memos.

In other news from town: • The elevated guard stand at the pool was removed, as it was deemed unsafe during a demonstration of use for the town safety committee. Ajax Pool and Spa has been troubleshooting main pool pump and heater leaks. All equipment in the pool mechanical room is presently working and needed repairs will not hinder pool operations. The pool locker rooms received a power wash and new paint in preparation for the opening, which was on May 25.

• In spite of cold and rain, there were 85 participants in the town’s Bike Safety Rodeo on May 20.

• Youth baseball and softball practices started the week of May 20-24. There are two coach-pitch baseball teams (ages 8 and 9), two teams in 9-10 year-old baseball, one team in 11-12 year-old baseball, one 8-10 year-old softball team and one team for 11-12 year-old softball.

• There is an outbreak of the invasive noxious weed Cypress purge at the northeast corner of Snowmass Drive and Highway 133, according to a town memo. One clump is on private property. “It is an at-

tractive plant but do not touch it,” the memo says.“The plant contains toxic latex that can cause all kinds of irritant problems. It has been known to kill cattle when digested.” Cypress spurge is on the state of Colorado’s “A” list of noxious weeds.

• Janet Buck has been working with Laurie Stevens to update and simplify the town’s website as it relates to planning.

Now that the information is up to date, they will work on enhancing the information on the site.

• One contractor (Creative Striping) responded to this year’s street striping bid request. The bid was below last year’s rate.

• The town is obtaining bids for a new vehicle storage building at the public works yard. The existing 200 amp electric service at the shop will need to be increased to a 400-amp circuit to meet the load demand. “The 200 amp electric service at the shop has been inadequate for many years,” said a memo.

• Finalized requests for proposals (RFPs) for the Uniform Development Code were sent to consultant teams on the short list. Interviews with the consultants are scheduled for June 24.

• The Roaring Fork water treatment plant experienced a critical failure on a level sensor at the well house. The sensor is estimated to cost more than $1,000. The Crystal Well is operating at 100 percent and no supply problems are anticipated.

• The water department will be performing additional ground water sampling next week for background data on the Crystal Well.

Remembering the Anschutz train ambush of 2000 (Editor’s note: As far as most Carbondale folks are concerned, Phillip Anschutz’ name was generally connected to the Snowmass Coal mine southwest of town. Turns out, Anschutz also has at least one connection to Glenwood Springs).

By Marice Doll Special to The Sopris Sun

How it happened Bob Turner, one of the vice presidents of the Union Pacific Corporation (not the railroad) descended the train and joined Jan Girardot, founder and chapter president, for a walk

Left to right: Monica Hutson, Dylan Hutson, Matt Hutson, Paul Birkholz and Jan Girardot ambush the Anschutz train as part of their strategy to open a railroad museum at the Glenwood Springs train station. Courtesy photo around the east end of the building, attempting to peer through the grimy dirt on the windows.

“We couldn’t take him into the building because the room was a mess,” Girardot said, describing the scene of the 18foot high ceiling falling in from water damage, the warped tongue-and-groove oak flooring, and the accumulation of discarded junk.

“But we were able to talk to all the people and Turner said it looked like a good idea and they’d think about it,” Girardot recalled. Interestingly, it wasn’t until later, when the group was looking at the photos, that they realized Anschutz was actually standing there, too.

Three weeks later the chapter received a lease from the corporation, but to the members’ surprise, the lease was for the entire east wing, including the railway express office and the motorcar room.

Crews will be closing the two middle lanes in order to remove the center median, this work is needed to Jacilitate the lane shift.

Paving next to SH 82 of the new lanes continues.

Crews are building up a platform adjacent to the highway to hold the temporary lanes.

THIS WEEK’S UPDATES ON 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!

In Glenwood Springs railroad history, there had never been an ambush, hold up, or hijack of a train. When Denver billionaire and Union Pacific Corp. owner Phillip Anschutz’ private car pulled into town, he and his board of directors didn’t even see the ambush coming — it was that well planned.

The plan was simple enough: The daughter of one of Anschutz’ corporate men was living in Edwards at the time. Pregnant, the daughter called her father and asked him to stop in Glenwood Spring, just trackside, so she could see him before the baby was born. Anschutz agreed to the stop.

The car was painted “Armour Yellow,” the Union Pacific signature color after the Chicago-based Armour Packing company — one time big UP investor before Anschutz bought it out. When the private car pulled into the station, that day became etched in history: Sept. 28, 2000. A group of solemn men stood their ground, holding a banner: “Welcome to Glenwood Springs Union Pacific Executives.

Help Us Make This Museum a Reality” The Western Colorado Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society had just received its charter from NRHS in July, 1999, complete with a nonprofit charitable status — 501(c)3 for an educational museum. Next the members needed a space to meet and a historical railroad museum to create. The former Ladies waiting room in the Glenwood Springs Train Station fit both purposes.

Please Note: All scheduled work subject to change due to weather and other conditions. Stay tuned. We’ll do our best to keep you informed.

Questions? 920-5206

“The railway express room was the holding place for packages waiting to be delivered,” explained Oscar McCollum, original chapter member, chapter historian, and now at 93, is donating a lot of his railroad library to the museum.

“Today,” McCollum continued, “train stations don’t have a railway express room because home delivery is done by, say, UPS delivery trucks.”

The Glenwood Railroad Museum is the first point of entry for some 8,000 tourists yearly using the train. “It’s the convenience of going from city center to city center,” commented Dick Helmke, former chapter vice president and museum docent. “We’re not way out of town like an airport.

You can easily walk to the hotels and restaurants from here.”

In fact, Glenwood is the second busiest train station in Colorado after Denver.

The chapter members have done a lot of work on the three rooms, most notably recovering the magnificent double-door arch at the entrance, which, in the 1800s, ladies and children entered so as not to associate with the men’s waiting room where cigar smoking and salty language were going on. Another set of double doors in the room led to the train side.

Now the walls of the refurbished museum are lined with photo panels representing the different railroad companies — Colorado Midland, Denver & Rio Grande Western, Crystal River-Crystal River & San Juan, Aspen & Western, South Canon Coal Railroad, Treasury Mountain and Yule Marble Tram — that once operated in the Colorado, Crystal, Frying Pan and Roaring Fork River valleys.

Many other notable train travelers have ridden into Glenwood Spring: socialist and labor reformer Eugene V. Debs in his private car “Red Express” in 1908; the presidential train of William Taft in 1909; the train of Baha’i spiritual leader Abdu’l-Baha in 1912; the whistle-stop platform for President Harry Truman in 1948 and 1952; and, a couple of stops by President Teddy Roosevelt on his way to hunting trips.

But none of these dignitaries were ever ambushed.

e “eye-volution” of Dr. David Eberhardt Sopris Sun Staff Report

Although he has the full support of a capable staff and state of the art diagnostic equipment, optometrist David Eberhardt O.D. at the new 20/20 Eye Care offices on Fourth Street still refers to his antique case of optical lenses when making a diagnosis.

Having been in practice for almost 43 years, Dr. Eberhardt first came to the Roaring Fork Valley in 1976 after discovering Colorado when he was stationed as an optometrist in the U.S. Army in Colorado Springs.

“Thought I’d be in the farmlands of Wisconsin all my life until I saw the mountains of Colorado,” he told The Sopris Sun. His first stop was as an associate with Dr. Bill Zilm in Aspen, which eventually lead to a 20-year practice at the corner of Cooper and Galena streets. In 1985 he chose to live permanently in Carbondale and raise his two boys who, now grown with families of their own, attended public school here.

“Carbondale was a funky, laid back community back then,” Eberhardt said. He was the only optometrist in town.

In the mid-1990s, he also moved his practice permanently to Carbondale (with one or two days a week spent in Aspen during the transition). Since then, Dr. Eberhardt has diagnosed and treated hundreds of patients with non-surgical eye conditions ranging from cataracts to glaucoma, plus

detached retinas and other more general eye diseases and infections, and the every-day exams and corrective lens prescriptions.

Drawing on his many years as a mountain-based, high altitude practitioner, Dr. Eberhardt, offers a simple remedy to a common modern problem. “There are entire medical journals dedicated to today’s dry eye problems.We stare more and blink less when looking at a computer screen. Eye muscles fatigue and eyes get dry,” he said. The solution, he suggests, is to look at the monitor at a 15-degree downward angle, and to use eye drops periodically throughout the day.

Most recently, after a brief medical sabbatical Dr. Eberhardt signed on as an optometrist with 20/20 Eye Care, a longtime family-owned business based in Glenwood Springs, in its new Carbondale office two to three days a week.

Coincidentally, Dr. Mark Zilm (Bill Zilm’s son) is an optometrist at 20/20. “I started with a Zilm and ended up with a Zilm; it’s been quite a journey,” Dr. Eberhardt said.

The 20/20 technicians -- Holly Gardner, Jolene Chavez, Amy Bradford and soon Laura Nieslanik -- have an impressive cumulative years of local experience, and a natural friendliness with patients.

“I very much like being back here. We have wonderful technology, and a very welltrained staff,” he said.

Business Briefs Doherty adds I-Cat Michael Doherty, D.D.S at Crystal Valley Dental Associates, a full-service, familybased, wellness-centered dental practice, is pleased to announce the installation of their advanced, high-definition 3-D treatment tool. The i-CAT will help with the quick diagnosis and treatment of implants and restorations (fillings), TMJ, sleep disorders and orthodontics.

“The i-CAT will allow us to determine treatment plans using 3D high definition images. We can, for example, map an entire course of treatment from initial placement of an implant to its final restoration with one image,” said Dr. Doherty.

Dr. Doherty said he takes a conservative, non-surgical approach to treatment ensuring the holistic“head to toe”overall health of his dental patients. The i-Cat will simplify the imaging process by capturing initial orthodontic workups and other dental progress scans in less than 5 to 15 seconds. For details, call 963-4882.

Red Hill changes hands Red Hill Animal Health Center recently sold to Dr. James Ziegler, who is now its chief veterinarian. Dr. Ziegler served for 11 years with Arrowhead Animal Hospital on the Front Range. He worked locally from 1986 to 1995 at veterinary hospitals and ranches in Aspen and Carbondale and is well known to many of this area's residents and pet-owners.

Non-profit thri store promotes healthy living

By S. Michael Jundt Sure there’s a storefront offering a vast array of items, both the usual and the unusual that typify a good thrift store experience. But it’s not until you dig deeper that you really begin to explore the depths of the non-profit Basalt Thrift.

Jullia Pratt, a retired architectural designer and Basalt Thrift Store’s founder, knew that she wanted to develop a successful store from the start, but it was the corporate mission that was behind her reasons for achievement.

“Local sustainable agriculture is integral for our valley’s future,” says Jullia, “and that’s the basis for our mission.”

After a pair of avalanches in the winter of 2006 closed I-70 and severely limited the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables available at local groceries, Jullia became adamant that our dependence on produce being shipped in from hundreds of miles away was not only misguided, but unhealthy too for both our own bodies and our environment.

“The closer your fresh food source,” says Pratt, “the more nutrient dense it is, contributing greatly to your health and well being and arguably less is the carbon footprint result in acquiring it.”

Basalt Thrift hosts local organic farmers and ranchers through a co-op and CSA (consumer supported agricul-

ture) program at the store, but the interests and reach of their operation does not stop there. Realizing there was a serious problem to resolve in the valley’s excess of unwanted goods, Basalt Thrift began a recycle warehouse to interrupt the flow of used items destined for local landfills.

Their efforts result in more than 500,000 pounds of good useable items being kept out of valley landfills each year.

“We want you to know,” says Jullia,“that the goods you donate to us get used. If we don’t sell them through the store we find them a home somewhere in the world. They are not simply thrown away.”

Recycling is more than separating aluminum cans and plastics. “We’ve worked with the local school children in our “Soles for Africa” campaign,” Jullia continues. “This program ships thousands of pairs of shoes to select villages where the local kids can attend school but are required to have footwear. When children understand the impact they can have in choosing to recycle even one item it’s a wonderful eye opener for them.”

You can learn more about Basalt Thrift’s organization by visiting: www.basaltthrift.org or by visiting their showroom located on South Side Drive in the Basalt Business Center.

Common Ground

Perhaps it was the smell when those magical pages were first opened that caused me to fall in love with books.

Parting with books is like losing a friend but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to face the reality that it was time to let go. Some 16 boxes of books went to the Carbondale and Glenwood libraries for their book sales and I still have too many books for where I live.

One solution was to start downloading E-books to read from the Kindle downloaded on my laptop and Android pad. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the same for a guy who loves the smell and feel of a real book.

Rumors have it that some new libraries are totally electronic. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carrying things a bit too far for my taste. I want to be able to go to the new library one block away from where I live and check out the

real thing.

I feel like Josh Catone in his article â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why Books Will Never Die,â&#x20AC;? when he gives the same reasons I have for why real books are so loved.

Occasionally I still buy a book or two.

But nowadays after reading them they go to someone else to enjoy, although keeping a good book of poetry is not beneath me.
