Paul Markham: the story behind a woodworker By Lynn Burton Sopris Sun Staff Writer At 89 years old, Paul Markham might be the oldest arts/crafts vendor at this weekend’s Carbondale Mountain Fair. In the summer

time when the overhead door is open, passersby near Eighth and Colorado can see him inside his tidy shop creating wooden cutting boards and other wooden items, such as “Tâ€? puzzles that he warns “nine out of 10 people can’t solve,â€?“ringâ€? puzzles whose solving apparently requires a less lofty IQ, novelty items, cleats for hanging clay pots on deck posts, and decorative creations like thimblesized birdhouses afďŹ xed to long dowles that add interest to any ower bed or pot. “The ladies love them,â€? he said with a

smile during a tour of his shop. Recently, Markham’s table saw, benches and other at surfaces were covered with cardboard boxes, each neatly labeled and ďŹ lled with cutting boards (two sizes) and other inventory. Markham, trim and ďŹ t, moves easily through his shop, although maybe not quite as uidly as when he was bringing the ball up during his basketball days at McPherson College in Kansas (more on that in a minute). Priced at $25 each, the 10X16-inch cutting boards are Markham’s bread and butter. One

of the ďŹ rst steps in making a board is gluing together alternating strips of cherry, walnut and maple. When asked why not just make the cutting board out of one piece of wood, he answered “This is very attractive to people.â€? A Markham cutting board is more complex than gluing together strips of light and dark colored wood. A pair of three-eighths-inch dowels, running laterally through the board at each end, keeps it all together. “The dowles keep it from warping or coming unglued.â€? MARKHAM page 3

Busted in Bonedale Dear Editor: Three young dads briefly reunited, since two no longer live in Carbondale, went downtown and found an outdoor concert. Someone set off a firework in the aisle causing lots of light, fury and concern. The three dads moved away from the activity to talk and upon sitting down and cracking beers in Friendship Park, a Carbondale police officer brought down the hammer of justice. No messing around for him. Immediately he called back up, ordered us to the curb and spent the next 45 minutes writing

us $130 tickets and making inane accusations about us trying to start riots. Not only was this incredibly unpleasant but it was quite depressing to realize what the Carbondale police were good for. We were told that if we had studied the town website we would know that Friendship Park is closed at night and lord knows nothing is more offensive than an open beer on a Saturday night next to a free concert. For the sake of people who dare sit in Friendship Park after dark I would hope Carbondale could get some signage to the effect that it’s not allowed; perhaps an elec-

tric fence could come down at sunset. Like so many gentrified communities after 9/11, the culture of fear appears to have taken over and the resulting precedent is depressingly lame. Don’t think about being in town parks after dark and watch out for this officer and his hammer of justice. Way to go Carbondale! Max Cooper Telluride

Garden club thanks Dear Editor: The Pardon My Garden! Club enjoyed a gorgeous day and over 180 visitors for our second annual tour of Carbondale. We are so grateful to our gracious hosts who opened their gardens to the public; their gardens were beautiful and informative. The Old Thompson Barn at River Valley Ranch was the perfect venue for our welcome center and we admire Brian Leasure of Destination Holdings for his generosity and community spirit. We appreciate the support of our Platinum Sponsors — Daly Property Services, Eagle Crest Nursery, Notable Gardens, Prima Plant Services, and Jane Jenkins — as well as our other 12 sponsors. Finally, an event like ours would not be possible without the dedication of our volunteers who numbered over 35! With a thistle as our emblem, we like to say that the Pardon My Garden! Club is not your grandmother’s garden club. Proceeds from our tour will fund gardening projects in the community through our grant program. We appreciate the public’s support and would welcome new members who might enjoy our merry band. Please contact us at pardonmygardenclub@gmail.com and we will be happy to send you information about joining our club. Kathryn Rooney Pardon My Garden! Club LETTERS page 16

Daily wildfire patrols prep before they roll Driving the country seven days a week By Lynn Burton Sopris Sun Staff Writer In lightning lexicon, the strikes are called “hold-overs.” The inside of a tree can smolder for two or three days after being hit by lightning before burning all the way through to outside air. Once the fire burns through, with the right conditions, such as high wind, the fire can spread. After that, wildland firefighters can have a catastrophic blaze on their hands. “Many fires start from hold overs,” Carbondale Deputy Fire Chief Rob Goodwin told The Sopris Sun on Tuesday. Making sure those hold overs don’t flare and fuel what could become national news stories (a la the Coal Seam fire just outside Glenwood Springs a few years ago), the Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District reinstated its wildfire patrols last week, thanks funds provided by private donors. Goodwin said the daily patrols, with four firefighters in two brush trucks, are dispatched north and south, not only keeping an eye on hold-overs and possible new strikes, but monitoring fire conditions and interacting with the public. But the crews don’t just show up at the Carbondale fire station every day at 10 a.m. and head out on their eight-hour shifts. Before climbing behind the wheel of their trucks, the crews meet in the fire station’s darkened meeting room, where a screen comes down and they hear a recorded report from the National Interagency Coordination Center. The first weather map on the screen shows Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska and North Dakota. After that, a Colorado map comes up that shows recent lightning strikes followed by a weather report. After that, the recorded portion of the briefing is over and Goodwin shows a local map from a BLM website that shows recent strikes that were recorded in the Cattle Creek, Carbondale and Redstone areas. On that note, the lights go on and Good-

win starts sliding printed reports and other information across the desks and into waiting hands. The first is the “Daily Situational Report” with weather forecasts for Carbondale and Marble that includes different temperatures for 6,000 feet and 8,000 feet, minimum humidity for the same elevations; something called a “Haines Index” and more. Next up is a western report that includes new fires (182 as of Tuesday), new large fires (four of those, ranging from 500 to 1,000 acres) and the resources committed to fight them. Most of the big fires were in Washington and Oregon, with one in Idaho and one in Utah. One report briefed the crew on the types of fire fighting equipment, such as helicopters, that were available on Tuesday in Colorado. The “6 Minutes For Safety: This Day in Wildland Fire History” handout recounted the events of July 22, 2003 and the Cramer Fire in Idaho. It was sobering. Crew leader Jake Spaulding said “Pablo, (Herr) can you read this (for us?)” Herr took a breath and started “ … Central Idaho, including the Salmon-Challis National Forest, had been in a period of drought for the last four years … .” The fire in the area of Cramer Creek was reported at 4:30 p.m. on July 20 and jumpers were dispatched. By the next morning, the fire covered 35 acres. By 7:52 p.m. on July 21, the fire covered 200 acres and due to “a thermal belt,” the fire burned actively until 3 a.m. on July 22. Two spots (H1 and H2) are eventually cleared for helicopters to land and shuttle crews as the fire continued to grow. A few minutes after 11:27 a.m., fire fighters on H1 pull back and retreat down the trail toward the river; 20 minutes later H1 is burned over and fire activity is reported as “intense.” “By 1430 (2:20 p.m.),” Herr read, “the fire in the Cache Bar drainage is an active fire front.” At 2:47 p.m., plans were made to remove the crew from H2. At 3 p.m. “the fire is on both sides of the ridge and continues to spread rapidly.” At 3:05 p.m., the H2 crew calls for “immediate pickup.” At 3:09 then call again but report they are “fine, just taking a lot of

Markham om page 1 He also draws a comparison to his strips of wood and people: “No two pieces are exactly alike.” Markham takes delight in explaining how he drills a hole for the dowels through the side of the cutting boards. He puts down a strip of cherry wood, turns around and weaves his way to the other side of the shop, where he takes a triangle-shaped, aluminum looking thing from a wall of tools. “This is a dowel jig,” he explains, then shows how he uses it to make marks on each side of the cutting board, so when he uses his drill press to make two holes in the opposite side of the board, they meet in the middle “every time.” Markham and his wife, Annie, have lived near their son, Joe, and his wife Cindy Nett, for two or three years, after living in Redstone in the 1990s then moving back to Kansas for a few years. Maybe it’s the exterior sign above

his shop that says “Cutting boards for sale” but word seems to be getting around. Recently, at the height of his Mountain Fair production cycle, a woman “came in on a Wednesday” and said she needed a 14-inch, round cutting board right away for a wedding. Markham replied that he didn’t have time for such a short turn around. “I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” she countered. “If it’s ready by Saturday I’ll give you $100.” I asked, “Are you sure?” The woman said she was. Markham said OK, went “right to work” and two days later the cutting board was ready. On that note, Markham went on to explain that other steps in his cutting board process include running the boards through a planner then using a belt sander to create a rough finish and then an orbital sander and finish sander.

Photo by Lynn Burton smoke.” At 3:13 p.m. they report fire and smoke below them and request “immediate pick up.” Arriving at the fire, the helicopter is unable to land due to smoke. Both crew members leave H2 at 3:20 p.m. At 3:24 p.m. the Cache Bar drainage is fully involved in the fire and the crew makes a final call for immediate pick up. Both firefighters die soon after.” “Whew,” Herr said after reading those final words. After the reading, Goodwin and today’s crew members critiqued what went wrong at the Cramer Fire on July 22, 2003. Among the mistakes made, the crew did not have a good egress route and relied too much on helicopters for evacuation. Goodwin pointed out that the Cramer Fire was similar to the Coal Seam Fire outside Glenwood Springs, in that neither “laid down” at night as might be expected but instead, continued to grow and build in intensity. A few minutes after concluding the “6 Minutes For Safety” discussion, each of the two Carbondale crews received their as-

signments for the day. The north crew, comprised of Spaulding and Brandon Deter, was to patrol the north end of the Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District (including Panorama Estates, Kings Row, Hawk Ridge and Colorado Mountain College areas), check with the Basalt Fire District, open up stations 84 and 85, and finish any station and equipment checks. The south crew was comprised of Herr and Ray Bourg. Their assignment included patrolling past Beaver Lake beyond Marble, and patrolling Swiss Village, Redstone Ranch Acres, Crystal River Park, Crystal River Country Estates and Seven Oaks. Back inside the Carbondale fire station, Goodwin demonstrated how the district uses regular maps as well as Google Earth maps to track and record lighting strikes. Elsewhere around town, Mountain Fair organizers were gearing up to create “best scenario” situations for the weekend. Goodwin said the fire district works from an opposite approach. “We plan for the worst and hope for the best.”

Back in Kansas

in basketball three times at McPherson College and also played semi-profession baseball. After graduation from college he taught shop (wood working) in high school, and coached basketball, for 35 years. A highlight came in 1968 when his team at Wamego High School (near Manhattan) went 25-0 and won the state 3A title. He also built houses when not coaching or teaching. Back in his Carbondale shop, Markham keeps a saying on the wall titled “Words of wisdom” that says “Tough times don’t last but tough people do.” He jokes about being “big time” when he says he earned a MA in physical education from Kansas State University. A few minutes later, when remembering his years teaching and coaching in Dodge City, Kansas, he says he joined the Optimist Club there and was once named Optimist of the Year. “So I’m an optimist,” he says. “I’m an optimist.”

Although there might be some question whether Markham is the oldest arts/crafts vendor at Mountain Fair, there can be no dispute about the following: he is the only vendor who has been inducted into the McPherson College Hall of Fame, and also the Kansas Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame. Markham spent his early years in Chanute, Kansas, located in the southeast part of the state, where his dad was a farmer, but the family later moved to McPherson, in the central part of the state, where his dad worked in the oil business. When he was 15 years old, Markham broke his left arm playing basketball. He was taken to a doctor, who put his arm in a plaster cast. The cast ended up being too tight. The upshot? His arm atrophied, and he has had only partial use of it and his left hand for the past 74 years. Despite the handicap, Markham lettered

Stableford brings farmers to Town. (restaurant) en to Brooklyn By Jane Bachrach Sopris Sun Staff Writer Award-winning photographer Tyler Stableford is about to do something he’s never done in his 20-year career. The internationally acclaimed photographer/cinematographer lives in Carbondale with his wife, school teacher Megan Currier and two children, Annabelle and Sam. He’s lived here for 17 years and his photography studio is here. Stableford and his team — which includes Draper White, Kate Rolston and Ben Thomas — spend most of their time on commercial photography and film. “One of biggest things I’ve been doing lately is directing national TV commercials for Cabela’s,” Stableford told The Sopris Sun, adding that the entire team is actively engaged in shooting “stills” and “motion.” What Stableford has done has generated a long list of accolades, including being named one of the world’s seven greatest adventure photographers by Men’s Journal. He is one of Canon’s Explorers of Light and has won a number of awards for his photography. He will soon head to Mexico to shoot an underwater fine-art project for Canon as a promotion for its latest cameras. During this assignment he will be shooting whale sharks, which, according to Stableford, “is a deeply personal project!” Surprisingly, one thing Stableford has never done is to show his work in a gallery or host a gallery opening reception. He says the reason is because he hasn’t focused on fine-art imagery before. Fortunately for those of us living in Carbondale and the Roaring Fork Valley, that is about to change on July 30 when Stableford will host his very first gallery reception and exhibit at Town. restaurant in Carbondale. It will be open to the public from 5 to 7 p.m. When Stableford came to Town. owner Mark Fischer, and said “Would you be interested in hosting an exhibit of local farmers,” Fischer was all for it. “This project is really cool and relevant. We’d been contemplating something similar for Town. … but Tyler’s project is even more perfect,” Fischer said. The exhibit, entitled “The American Farmer,” is a one-time gallery showing and preview of Stableford’s national portraiture project. “This is a project I pitched to Canon with my team, to photograph fineart portraits of American farmers, ranchers, cheese makers and other food artisans across the country,” he said. Everyone on his crew has shot for the Canon project, which culminates in New York City in late September at the Photoville Art Festival in Brooklyn Bridge Park. There’s another reason the local exhibit is so special for not only Stableford and his

To the left is Felix Tornare of Milagro Ranch, right is Max Macdonell and lower right is Archie Blackwell at Tybar Ranch. Stableford and his team have won many film and photography awards. Photo (above) by Jane Bachrach team, but for those of us that live here. The gallery showing at Town. on July 30 has a special focus on Roaring Fork Valley ranchers and farmers. “A majority of the campaign has been and is still being shot here, with a special focus on Roaring Fork Valley farmers and ranchers,” Stableford said.

“… They’re not people who seek the spotlight and I hope the gallery opening is a way to share with the community what they do.”

Respect

It’s obvious that the photographer has a great deal of respect for the breed. “Because land prices are so high it’s becoming increasingly difficult to be a rancher,” he explained. “I think it’s safe to say for the most part that the ranchers and farmers in the Roaring Fork Valley are a dying breed. It’s an incredibly arduous profession, subject to elements like drought, wildly fluctuating market prices, etc. It’s really difficult and I salute those who are doing it.” Stableford says that one reason he’s attracted to farmers and ranchers is because they have interesting faces, characters and personas. “They’re rugged people who work the land all year, and to get to photograph these people in their backyard creates a personal connection between me and my subjects,” adding that besides the char-

acters themselves, the landscapes and settings, are so visual. “This campaign celebrates the amazing imaging capabilities of Canon equipment from cameras and lenses to printers.” Continuing, he said, “A lot of the ranching families have been reticent to be photographed. They’re not people who seek the spotlight and I hope the gallery opening is a way to share with the community what they do.” Some of the local ranching families included in the project are the Nieslaniks, Fales, Strangs and Sewell’s, plus Milagro Ranch, Sustainable Settings, Woody Creek Distillers, Crystal River Meats and Wild Bear Bee Farms, among others. He has also photographed ranchers and farmers in Louisiana, Missouri New Hampshire Utah and elsewhere in Colorado; some of these images will be included in the upcoming preview. Despite the awards and notoriety Stableford has received, he’s just a regular down-to-earth guy. He and his family regularly participate in community events and are loyal community members. When he mentioned “some of my favorite field trips with the kids are to Sustainable Settings and Rock Bottom Ranch to be with the animals and to harvest eggs

and fresh produce,” he became this photographer’s hero, not only as a photographer, but as a human being.

Sheepdoggers return The 2014 National Sheepdog Finals are headed to the Strang Ranch on Missouri Heights and you know what that means: organizers are rounding up volunteers. The event takes place Sept. 9-14 and volunteers are needed for several jobs, including: parking, tickets, set up, clean up, clerical, vendor coordination, fund-raising, handler service and more. Volunteers who work a half-day receive a meal ticket and a day pass. For details, go to avlt.org or sheepdogfinals.com. The six-day event will include a craft fair, spinning/weaving demonstrations, lamb cooking and dog demonstrations and food. Sheepdogs and their handlers from across the U.S. and beyond will compete. The Strang Ranch hosted the regional finals in 2012. On a related note, Bridget Strang presents the documentary “Away to Me” at the Crystal Theatre at 5 p.m. on Aug. 24. The film follows three national sheepdog champions from Canada, South Africa and the U.S. in their quest to win the Soldier Hollow classic sheepdog trial in Utah.

Mountain lion tips A mountain lion recently attacked two dogs in their yard near Glenwood Springs, which prompted Colorado Parks and Wildlife to remind residents what to do in the unlikely event they counter such a beast on the trail. Tips include: • It’s a good idea to bring a walking stick to use to fight off the lion; • Make sure children are close to you and within sight at all times; • Do not approach a lion, especially one that is feeding or with kittens; • Give a mountain lion a way to escape and stay calm; • Talk calmly yet firmly to it; • Stop or back away slowly, if you can do it safely (running may stimulate a lion's instinct to chase and attack); • Face the mountain lion and stand upright; • Raise your hands to make yourself appear larger; • If a lion acts aggressively, throw stones or whatever you can get your hands on without crouching down or turning your back. “What you want to do is convince the lion you are not prey and that you may in fact be a danger to the lion,” said a CPW spokesman. “Fight back if a lion attacks you. Lions have been driven away by prey that fights back.” For more information, go to cpw.state.co.us.

Courtesy photo waste initiative for the Ironman triathlon in Boulder on Aug. 3, according to a press release. Billed as the world’s biggest, Ironman Boulder is expected to attract more than 3,500 athletes who will swim 2.4 miles, take a 112-mile bicycle ride then run a 26.2 mile marathon – in that order. “Never before has a full Ironman race attempted much beyond basic recycling,” said EverGreen Events cofounder Alyssa Reindel. EverGreen has been working with the Boulder triathlon series since 2007 and in 2014 is shooting for a 9093 percent landfill diversion rate. “That means less than 10 percent of all discards generated … end up being landfilled,” Reindel continued. To reach that figure, only compostable or recyclable event-related products are allowed on site. During the race and expo, EverGreen will deploy its three-bin zerowaste collection system, which recovers compostables, recyclable items and trash. There are also special collection points for endurance-sport specific materials such as energy bar and gel wrappers, bike tires and tubes, wet suits and swim caps, race bibs and athletic shoes. Plastic bags, stretch wrap and textiles are also recycled; leftover food is donated to a local homeless shelter. EverGreen Events will also make stage announcements during athlete briefings and will use volunteers to staff stations and interact with people. “One of the benefits of this program is being able to engage people from all over the world with zero waste,” Reindel said. “ … hopefully they (the people) share these neat ideas with their own communities.”

Mt. Sopris Historical Society throwing Shindig Sopris Sun Staff Report The Mt. Sopris Historical Society and Thompson House Museum is throwing a party that would have made “Aunt” Hattie Thompson proud. On Aug. 9, from 6 to 9 p.m., the society is hosting Carbondale’s inaugural Shindig. “Well, technically it is Carbondale’s second Shindig,” said MSHS Director Beth White. The last Shindig held at the Thompson House, in 1889, “proved to be one of the most successful social events of the season,” wrote an Aspen newspaper at the time. The 2014 Shindig will include stage entertainment, performance artists, old-fashioned lawn games, guided tours of the Thompson House Museum and pit barbeque. The performer lineup includes Steve Skinner & The Thompson Dividers, the Carbondale Rhythm Collective, Valle Musico, Sharon Young and Dory Light, and Jack Lanning. Tickets are $75 and can be purchased at mtsoprishistoricalsociety.org, in downtown Carbondale at the Pour House, or 963-7041.

Donaldson, Evans present workshop on “Playful Tallness” Fred Donaldson, PhD, the author of the Pulitzer Prize nominated book “Playing by Heart: The Vision and Practice of Belonging” returns to Carbondale the first weekend of August to co-lead a workshop with local resident William Evans. This three-day teaching collaboration will take the form of “Playful Tallness,” a lively, experiential, collective “living story” that will unfold indoors and outdoors, beginning Friday evening, Aug. 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. The two presenters have long held the intention to teach together. Donaldson is a world-famous specialist in the use of play as an alternative to aggression, violence and abuse, and an international education consultant; he last visited Carbondale about 15 years ago. His Original Play® program is the result of 30 years of research on children’s, adults’ and wild animals’ play behavior. He has worked with special needs children, culturally diverse communities, Fred Donaldson gangs and children living on the streets. He is a former professor at The University of Washington and The California State University, Hayward and The California School of Professional Psychology. He gives lectures and workshops for organizations and institutions throughout the world. Primarily teaching outdoors, Evans includes story and film to do what he refers to as “scattering the seeds of tallness.” The Carbondale workshop brings their two, related approaches together.

For tens of thousands of years, families gathered around campfires and told stories. “Stories have always steered people and driven systemic change,” writes Evans in a press release

provided to The Sopris Sun. “We rely on stories to understand what our lives are about. A better, healthier future can be built on the foundation of life-sustaining stories. Using story in this way activates more human potential — moving people not to just think differently but to be different.” Donaldson distinguishes “living world” stories this way: “There is a need for ‘living world’ stories, because so many people are shriveling from ‘dying world’ stories. They see themselves as victims and yet all that may be needed is for someone to help them experience a choice, a safe place for discovering a living, playful, identity residing within them.” The workshop will incorporate play geared to participants of all ages. “Play is a more fundamental response than fear,” writes Donaldson. “Play is more instinctual than fear.” Evans points out that, similarly, tallness is innate in all human life; healthy children naturally stand up and walk at the appropriate time in their development. He believes, “The call of inner tallness can occur at any age. Playful tallness has nothing to do with age or size.” The introductory talk for the upcoming Playful Tallness workshop is Friday, Aug. 1, 68 p.m. at the KDNK classroom. This session is open to all and the cost is $10. Saturday’s session runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 2, and will be held outdoors. People do not have to attend Friday evening to participate on Saturday. On Sunday, the group will meet indoors, this time on aikido mats. Sunday is only open to those who attend on Saturday. The cost is $50 for each of the Saturday/Sunday sessions, or $100 for both. Participants are asked to bring water and a lunch. For more information or to register, contact William Evans at 970-704-0124 or drwevans@sopris.net.

Wyly Art Center expands; new gallery opens Sopris Sun Staff Report The Wyly Art Center announces the opening of its first satellite exhibition gallery, The Wyly Annex, located in an empty storefront in the heart of historic downtown Basalt. The space officially opened on July 11 in conjunction with Basalt’s art walk. According to Kelly Alford, executive director of The Wyly, this exhibition space is programmed through the spring of 2015 with the work of regionally and nationally recognized artists, and will include a series of art openings, art talks and community activities highlighting the art, according to a press release. Details of the full exhibition schedule will be posted at wylyarts.org. The inaugural exhibitions are “Stewart Oksenhorn: photographer,” currently running through July 31, and “Subject to Change” by Jody Guralnick, which is to open form 5 to 7 p.m. on Aug. 8. The Wyly Annex is housed in the historic Three Bears Building at 174 Midland Avenue, which sat vacant until earlier this year when the town of Basalt rented the space as headquarters for the Our Town planning initiative. Through that planning process, the public requested

“Investing in the arts is a sound way for Basalt to increase economic vitality and community vibrancy.” Hannah Condon Summer Arts Intern Town of Basalt more art in downtown Basalt, including galleries, artist studios and residences, sculpture gardens and a performing arts center. The town of Basalt and The Wyly Art Center are now working to develop an arts and cultural transformation plan for the community that will lead to cultural engagement, civic vitality and economic revitalization. “A number of studies demonstrate that arts and culture organizations have a significant economic impact

nationally, in the state of Colorado, and in our neighboring town, Aspen. Investing in the arts is a sound way for Basalt to increase economic vitality and community vibrancy,” said Hannah Condon, summer arts intern for the town of Basalt. Basalt Town Manager Mike Scanlon echoes the importance of public arts projects like the new Wyly Annex. “The Wyly has been extensively involved with Basalt’s revitalization efforts from the beginning, constantly working to enrich our community through the expansion of art and arts education. As The Wyly and its programming continues to grow, I am confident that it will make Basalt an even more vibrant, creative and arts-centered community,” Scanlon said. The Wyly Art Center fosters creative expression in the visual arts for learners of all ages and abilities through a variety of classes, programs, exhibitions and events. Founded in 1996, The Wyly Art Center is a community-based visual arts organization that believes arts education is fundamental to the healthy development of mind and spirit and enriches the life of the community. The Wyly is funded through donations, grants, special events, and program fees.

Mary Helen Alvarez

Marjorie J. Philip passed away peacefully on July 10, 2014. She was 91. Marjorie was preceded in death by her loving husband Robert T. Philip, and her son Robert (Bob) Philip. She is survived by her loving son John (Doc) Philip, her two sisters, Hazel Day and Vivian Reynolds, both of Michigan, her loving friend Wayne Horak and her two dogs. “I said to a man who stood at the gate of the year, ‘Give me a light that I tread safely into the unknown,’ and he replied, ‘Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.” No services will be held. Donations can be made to your favorite animal shelter.

Put your homegrown zucchini to work (Editor’s note: This installment continues a series of healthy recipes from Kate Carei-Eakins). It is that time of year again, the time when the delicious zucchini starts to grow and grow and grow. Here is a gluten free, grain free recipe for about 20 with a dairyfree option).

A celebration of life will be held for Mary Helen Alvarez at Ramey-Harvey Park (564 Graceland, Carbondale, Colo.) at 9 a.m. on July 25. Arrive early to enjoy the labyrinth. Mary Helen was born on Jan. 19, 1928, in San Antonio, Texas to Juanita Rodriquez Martinez and Miguel Martinez, and left this world in Glenwood Springs on Dec. 20, 2013. She is survived by her children, Mariano “Sonny” Alvarez of Glenwood Springs, Marlene (Jimmy) Lucero of Fernley Nevada, Monica (Eddie) Muniz of Carbondale, Jose Alvarez of Colorado Springs, and Marcus (Patty) Alvarez of Las Cruses New Mexico, also 12 grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mary Helen will be most remembered for her impeccable voice and amazing artistic and musical abilities. She loved the outdoors, gardening and listening to music. Please join family and friends as they celebrate her life.

Chocolate chip cookies

1/2 cup of softened butter or for dairy free, try a butter alternative (Earth Balance is good) 1/3 cup of coconut sugar or brown sugar 1 egg 1 tablespoon of gluten free vanilla extract 2 cups of almond flour 1.5 tablespoon of coconut flour 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon 3/4 cup loosely packed, thinly grated zucchini 1/3 cup of hemp seeds (aka hemp hearts) 2/3 cup gluten free chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees 1. In mixer, put cream, butter and sugar together 2. Mix in egg 3. Mix in vanilla 4. In a separate bowl combine almond flour, baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon 5. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, blend well 6. Squeeze zucchini until all the liquid is out 7. Gently mix grated, squeezed zucchini, chocolate chips and hemp seeds into the batter 8. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper 9. Scoop 1 tablespoon at a time and press flat, wetting your hands if dough is sticky

10. Bake 11-14 minutes, until edges are slightly golden 11. Cool for 15-20 minutes. Store leftovers in fridge in an airtight container. This recipe can be changed by adding in thinly grated beets or carrots instead of the zucchini. You can also omit the vegetables all together and you will still get a great gluten free chocolate chip cookie.

Enjoy!
