Letters continued om page 14 At that time, MRI applied for a “use by rightâ€? exception to the zoning requirement for an impact study by the county Planning and Zoning Commission, as required by the rules of GarďŹ eld County. The county commissioners agreed that a study should be done, though to the best of my knowledge, it has not been done to date. I suspect the disapproval of the application had something to do with that. If MRI plans to build a waste transfer station, let's have a full P&Z evaluation. That way we'll follow Ronald Reagan's advice: “Trust but verify.â€? Mr. Van Devander should not object to this, nor should MRI. A full, open and public review. So both sides can have their say and the commissioners can make an informed, worthwhile decision. Herbert Feinzig Carbondale
KDNK thanks Dear Editor: The theme for KDNK’s membership drive was “Vote for KDNK.â€?Thanks to the voters, constituents have chosen to re-elect the current administration for another six months. This helps KDNK balance the budget and go forward with the mission to provide public access radio that connects community members to one another and the world. Some say that this election was bought and it’s true. Listeners helped KDNK raise $65,000. We at KDNK appreciate your vote of conďŹ dence and vow to continue the good
work of community radio on behalf of all people in the republic, even if they abstained. God bless you and God bless KDNK. Steve Skinner General Manager KDNK
Weatherwax plays the Co-op Dear Editor: To all the lovers of great food and healthy living in Carbondale and beyond: Please join me and others this First Friday from 5:307:30 p.m. to celebrate the expansion of the Carbondale Food Co-op, the town's locallyowned natural and organic grocery store, and the relocation of Building for Health, the source for healthy, safe home wares and building supplies. The Food Co-op just doubled in size and Building for Health relocated to the downtown retail area. The Food Co-op and Building for Health are located next door to each other at 559 and 549 Main Street, just down from the movie theater and across from Peppino's Pizza and Mi Casita. There will be a piano player, Vid Weatherwax, playing on the front lawn. We've set up a Wheel of Fortune that you and any kids you bring along can spin for prizes. And Stacy Stein has promised to bring her ladder ball game, which is appropriate for people between 5 and 110 years of age. After you check out these two great businesses, pop over to Crystal River Meats, on Fourth Street, and check out their fantastic selection of meats. If we're lucky, there just
might be some food to sample or festivities in their side yard. And just in case you were wondering, the Carbondale Food Co-op sells great local
