Dirty Bourbon River Show’s Noah Adams asks a screaming crowd if they’d like one more song Saturday afternoon at Carbondale Mountain Fair. It turns out they did, andthe Bourbon boys from Bourbon Street responded. Musical highlights were many over the weekend, with Radio La Chusma, Todo Mundo and Musketeer Gripweed top-ping many dancers’ lists.

Thanks to the policeDear Editor:

While at Mountain Fair on Saturdaynight my almost 14-year-old dog, Frodo, gotscared by fireworks in town and jumped outof the vehicle window.

Many thanks to Lani Houseman for con-tacting the police department. Dispatch wasso helpful! Thank you, thank you, thank youto the folks that found him hidden in theirgarage and also called the police!!

Two officers came to the house (on thebusiest night of the year in town) and waitedfor us to be reunited!!! That's six of you thatsaved the day. Thank you all so much!

So much love from Frodo and I,Dawn RainsMarble

Thanks for the returnDear Editor:

I am writing to thank the person or per-sons who found my daughter’s billfold atMountain Fair and returned it, with all thecash inside, on July 25.

We live in Easton, Pennsylvania, and mydaughter travels to Carbondale each summerto spend several weeks with her grandmother.If we are lucky, my husband and I are able tojoin her for part of that visit. We always lookforward to our visits to the Roaring Fork Val-ley, which is such a pleasant change of pacefrom our daily lives out east.

Mountain Fair is a particularly bright spotin our visits. This year, it started on mydaughter’s 11th birthday. She brought over$100, part of the money she had earned sincethe beginning of this year, to spend at the fair.She was devastated when she lost her “IronPigs” billfold with all of her money inside. Shereported the missing billfold, but did not holdmuch hope for its return. When she calledthat evening to give us the sad news, I told herthat she was in Carbondale, not Easton, andso it was more likely than not that someonewould find the wallet and return it.

I was therefore not surprised when shecalled me on Saturday morning to advise thatthis is exactly what happened. I was somoved by your honesty I had to reach out tothank you, and so I hope this letter finds you,wherever you are. Thank you for making an11-year-old girl very happy, and for reinforc-ing her family’s faith in the goodness of peo-ple. We will all definitely “pay it forward.”

Diggin’ the bluegrassDear Editor:

Thanks to all of those that made the 2014Mountain Fair special for everybody. I wouldreally have liked to hear more of the bluegrasssound. That music was so good and great. Ithink a lot of people really enjoyed thatsound. I heard a lot of great complements.

This is my week and day for no negativ-ity, so I am going to say the vendors weregreat. Lots of nice things to pick from. Foodwas good, too. Took me a couple of days to

make it to the popcorn booth. We had agreat lunch yesterday as always. Most ofthose I know made it to the fair on Fridayevening. The weather has been pretty goodas well. So thanks to the Fair People for mak-ing this a great one.

I heard that the Pie Contest was reallysomething, too many to pick from. All re-ally tasty.

Thanks.Jane SpauldingCarbondale

Who Ya Gonna Call?Jeff WadleyCarbondale

Enjoying the Surls talkDear Editor:

I’ve enjoyed the lively discussion on themajor, 20-foot-high piece by James Surls atour new roundabout, recently approved bythe town trustees to be installed this fall. Thisprocess has had folks talking about art.

The Surls sculpture is made of stainlesssteel and bronze and has organic referencesthat I think match Carbondale’s heritage. It isvalued at about $400,000, half of which is agift from Surls. The other $200,000 will beentirely contributed from private sourceswith a lead gift from Jim Calaway.

Art is becoming increasingly important forour town and we are becoming a player in arapid regional change of more and better art.Consider the Surls piece, the lively annualchange of sculpture of our Art aRound Townseries, the recent opening of the beautifulPowers Museum (adjacent to Planted Earthand having a highly complete collection ofJasper Johns prints), our fine new library, andthe recent Colorado award to CCAH thatrecognizes Carbondale as a Creative District.

Some of us remember, in 1972, whenChristo and Jeanne-Claude’s monumental artcurtain at Rifle Gap blew down only 28 hoursafter it was hung. That was one start with ourregional art and I still have a poster of thatbeautiful curtain tacked on the wall of mygarage. Along the Arkansas River, that samecouple’s project “Over the River” is now get-ting closer to happening. This installation will

consist of 6.7 miles of horizontally suspendedtranslucent fabric panels, high over the river,between Salida and Cañon City. This installa-tion will be a major international draw.

With “Over the River,” the opening of thenew Aspen Art Museum, and all that is hap-pening around Carbondale, our region willbe increasingly a tourist destination for art.This will add to our economic vitality. I findthis all pretty exciting. But what is this all re-ally about? The answer, I think was given ata recent talk by James Surls, who quoted LeoTolstoy along the lines of “great art is partlyintended to motivate viewers to see thebeauty in art and have that beauty transferredto their own hearts.”

Construction trucks and regularvehicles did the dosey doe onMonday, with construction activi-ties shifting to the east side ofHighway 133 and through trafficon the west. To allow access to theshopping centers on the east sideof Highway 133, the contractortook out sections of concrete Jer-sey barriers in front of LaFontana, the Roaring Fork ValleyCo-op and the other shoppingareas. The openings are aboutthree-vehicles wide, which isenough space to allow left andright turns out of shopping centerparking lots, and a single lane intothe parking lots. By Tuesday after-noon, motorists seemed to havepretty much figured out how tomaneuver their vehicles withoutundue stress – or flaggers.

By Lynn BurtonSopris Sun Staff Writer

The Carbondale Fire Board meets in a spe-cial session on Aug. 4 to receive the final reportfrom its Citizen Advisory Committee thatamong other items:

• Does not recommend asking voters for aproperty tax hike in November;

• Suggests the district consider continuingto dip into its reserve fund, dropping it fromenough money to cover six months of expensesto three months;

• Says the board should look at adjustingwages and benefits paid to fire district staffmembers.

The Aug. 4 meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m.at the Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection Dis-trict headquarters, located at the south end oftown on Meadowood.

The five-member Carbondale Fire Boardappointed a 17-member Citizens AdvisoryCommittee (CAC) earlier this year to make rec-ommendations, after voters overwhelminglyshot down a mill levy ballot question in No-vember that would have increased property

taxes that pay for such services as fire fightingand ambulances in a 320-square-mile area thatstretches from Marble to Missouri Heights.

The CAC has meet monthly since Februaryand held its final meeting on July 21. Commit-tee members in attendance were: Chuck Tori-nus, Connie Hendrix, Davis Farrar, Jason Sewell,John Haines, Ken Harrington, Lance Luckett,Mo Shalabi, Ray Sauvey, Richard Fuller, TomFlynn, Joanne Teeple and Michael Hassig.

Others present included facilitators HilaryFletcher and Tom Baker, district employeesJenny Cutright, Ron Leach and Rob Good-win, and members of the public Mark Chain,Hank Van Berlo and Jeff Wadley.

At its July 21 meeting, the committee dis-cussed four options. Options three and fourwere quickly eliminated, and included raisingthe district’s mill levy to fund “everything” ac-cording to the meeting’s minutes, and makingcuts to balance the budget.

Late last year, the fire board approved a2014 budget that took $700,000 from reservesand also cut $500,000 from the 2013 fundinglevel. The decline in revenues is brought on by

lower property values, which translate intolower property tax collections.

Most of the CAC’s focus during its most re-cent meeting was on Option 1 and Option 2,with the first option winning a straw vote 11-2.

Option 1 includes asking voters for a shortterm tax hike in one or two years, as a “bridge”until property values increase, and updating thedistrict’s masterplan with “significant” com-munity involvement.

The entire Community Advisory Commit-tee report will be posted at Carbondalefire.orglater this week.

Every year, thousands of small, root-beer colored bottlesholding herbal tinctures wend their way from Weant Boule-vard here in Carbondale to patients and medical practition-ers all across the United States.

Dr. Dave’s Herbal Medicine comes in nine different reme-dies: Allergies Away, Super Sinus, Throat Zap, Cough Arrest,Sinus Guard, Immune Defense, an immune-boosting Mush-room Tonic, Good Night and Meno-Pause.

Originally sold from the Carbondale Acupuncture Cen-ter and a few retail outlets in the Roaring Fork Valley andBoulder, the herbal tinctures are now carried by more than60 retail outlets across more than 15 states. The companyalso does a brisk online business from DrDaves.com, anecommerce website recently redesigned by another Carbon-dale firm, Steller Studio.

A shelf in the Carbondale Acupuncture Center’s receptionarea displays a cluster of small brown tincture bottlesadorned with a lotus leaf label. Around the corner, the wallof Dr. Dave Teitler’s office reveals a sight reminiscent of Bei-jing, or perhaps San Francisco’s Chinatown – it’s an apothe-cary collection with more than 200 jars of herbs. The herbs,which are free of sulfur, pesticides and chemicals, do in facthail from China, by way of Oakland.

If you were to visualize a Chinese herbal-ist, he probably wouldn’t be tall and straw-berry blond. But Teitler, who recentlycelebrated the 10-year anniversary of hisfounding of the Carbondale AcupunctureClinic, is a licensed herbalist and acupunc-turist. As recently as last fall, he trained inKunming, China.

Teitler grew up in Crested Butte, and thenattended the University of Colorado in Boul-

der. After a post-graduation trip to China, he attended athree-year acupuncture/herbal medicine school in Denver,where most of his herbal teachers were Chinese.

Having picked up a little Mandarin in China, he was lessintimated by the language than many of his classmates. “Itwas easier to for me pick up herb names and acupuncturepoints,” he said. “For example, there’s an acupuncture pointcalled bai hui. In Chinese, it means 100 flowers. If you un-derstand the meaning, it makes it easier to integrate and usethe herb or acupuncture point.”

Asked if he can still speak Chinese, Teitler replied, “Yidian dian,” and then translated, “A little bit.”

In 1999, while working at the Mid-Valley Chiropracticand Wellness Center, Teitler learned to make tinctures froma fellow employee. “I was treating a lot of people who hadallergies and sinus problems,” he recalls. “I found I was mak-ing very similar herbal formulas for a lot of people, so Istarted making tinctures up as allergy and sinus remedies.”

Teitler’s remedies are formulated specifically for thelocal climate and environment. “For our allergy, sinus andcough remedies, we make sure that they are moistening andnot overly drying,” he explained. “If you dry mucus andphlegm in Colorado, where your nasal passages are alreadytoo dried out, you end up cementing dry mucus andphlegm into the nose, sinus cavities and lungs. To treat a

Colorado sinus infection, or the dry coughthat won’t go away, you need to moisten thesinuses and lungs.”

The tinctures are available locally at Prov-idence Apothecary in Glenwood Springs; inCarbondale at the Acupuncture Center, theCarbondale Community Food Co-op andfrom Dr. Hilary Back; in Willits at WholeFoods and the WIN Institute in Willits; andin Aspen at Clark’s Market.

Dr. Dave Teitler’s nine tinctures are now sold atmore at 60 retail outlets in 15 states and online atDrDaves.com. The tinctures go by such names asThroat Zap, Cough Arrest and Allergies Away.Photo by Nicolette Toussaint

Remembering WoodstockFar out, man. Has it really been 45 years since a half-million hippies and straight kids

swarmed a 600-acre farm in upstate New York and enjoyed four days of “fun … andnothing but fun … ”? Folk singer Arlo Guthrie was apparently the first to alert the grow-ing crowd to what was happening beyond the gates and fences that by then were alreadycoming down. “The New York State Freeway is closed … “ he said, before concluding “… lotta freaks.” One of the most remembered Woodstock quotes, uttered during the eventitself, came from unofficial MC Wavy Gravy. “Good morning,” he shouted out from thestage to begin day number two. “What we have in mind is breakfast for 400,000 … Wemust be in heaven, man.” Folks who want to remember Woodstock can rent the video orpull out the LPs then search around for a friend’s turntable to play them on. Or, they canattend The Sopris Sun’s upcoming Phantom Ball. It’s our second annual. The format forthe Phantom Ball is a bit different than other non-profit fund-raisers but it’s really con-venient and we’re sure you can figure it out. For details, please turn to the last page in thisweek’s issue. Give it a look but don’t be surprised if you think you see yourself lookingback at yourself. And if you still don’t get it, go ask Alice. “I think she’ll know.”

This just inMountain Fair Hula Hoop contest organizer Betty Hoops reports the following: the

event attracted more than 100 kids and about 10 adults; it entailed about 50 cross-train-ing moves while hooping on the waist, including standing on one foot, running in place,walking over and under the limbo pole and finishing with a hoop dance off. The winnerswere: adult division, Laurie Guevara-Stone; kids division, Skyler Ulveda, Lucia Candanoand Conner Hoffman.

Kids are their businessBarbara DillsSopris Sun Correspondent

Castle Valley Children’s Clinic (CVCC), the only free-standing pediatric medical facility in our area, has just openeda satellite clinic on Dolores Way in Carbondale. The staff wasavailable starting July 21 for drop-ins and emergency cases,and the first pre-scheduled patients were welcomed to the newfacility this past Monday. A grand opening celebration isplanned for later this summer.

CVCC has operated in New Castle since the late 1990s. In2002, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Debbie Anne Moeller RN,MS, CPNP purchased the clinic and has been at the helm eversince. In addition to Moeller, the medical team includes CareyLevin, MD, and Joan Neff RN, MS, CPNP. The office man-ager is Jo Ellyn Bradley. Two medical assistants and two re-ceptionists round out the current staff; CVCC is currentlyadvertising for a bi-lingual receptionist or medical assistantto help out in Carbondale. Interested individuals should con-tact the clinic for details or to apply.

The staff describes Castle Valley Children’s Clinic as a “pa-tient centered medical home … committed to offering yourchildren a family-oriented approach towards their health andwellness.” As a certified Colorado Medical Home, CVCCstrives to incorporate seven essential components. It aims tobe: accessible; family-centered; continuous; comprehensive;coordinated; compassionate; and culturally effective. The Col-oradoMedicalHome.org website describes what each of thosecomponents encompasses and states, “At the core of the med-ical home is the patient’s personal, comprehensive, long-termrelationship with a primary care physician and a philosophyof care focused on preventing illness and helping patients takean active role in promoting their own good health.”

Services available at CVCC for children ages 0 to col-

lege age include: well child care; sick visits; urgent care;special health care needs; sports and school physicals;chronic illness management; immunizations and flu shots;and asthma management. Viewing health care as a part-nership with parents, CVCC does not exclude patientsbased on vaccination philosophy or other personal nutri-tion or health choices. All members of the medical staff areSpanish speaking (two are fluent speakers). Besides beingindependently owned and operated, another distinguish-ing characteristic is the clinic’s mission “to provide quality,collaborative healthcare to all children, regardless of abil-ity to pay.” CVCC accepts all insurances, including Medi-

caid/CHP+, as well as private paying patients.Dr. Levin has been practicing at CVCC since 2011, the first

few years splitting her time between Colorado and the Uni-versity of California San Francisco, where she completed herpediatric residency in a specialized training program for un-derserved medicine, the PLUS (Pediatric Leadership for theUnderserved) Program. A 1995 graduate of Colorado RockyMountain School, she currently lives in Marble with her hus-band and young daughter.

Debbie Anne Moeller is a native of Glenwood Springs. Herbackground includes working for many years in the neonatalcare units at Children’s Hospital Colorado and PresbyterianSt, Luke’s in Denver. Joan Neff brings a similarly impressiveresume. She worked with children in an inpatient trauma cen-ter, a newborn nursery and an adolescent correctional facilitybefore arriving at CVCC. Said Levin in an interview with TheSopris Sun, “I feel like I learn something from those two amaz-ing women every day.”

The clinic in New Castle has been serving a wide geo-graphic area for some time, welcoming patients from Paonia,the Crystal Valley, the entire Roaring Fork Valley, Meeker, andEagle, as well as from the neighboring communities of Siltand Rifle. The demand from our valley helped spur the deci-sion to open a satellite office here.

The clinic on Dolores Way comprises four exam rooms, asmall lab, a child-oriented waiting room, and a state-of-the-art conference facility, eventually to be made available to thebroader medical community for teleconferencing. Initialclinic hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mondays and 1 to 5p.m. on Wednesdays, with plans to increase those hours asthe schedule fills.

The clinic is located at 2615 Dolores Way, in the buildingbetween The Paint Store and Wagner Rents, the same buildingthat houses Osmia Organics and Mitchell and Company. Formore information or to schedule an appointment, call 970-984-3333 or visit the clinic’s website at www.cvcclinic.com.

La Fogata is a locally run stand at Moun-tain Fair. It began with a simple idea: havingfun selling authentic Mexican and Salvado-rian food. The main dishes include pupusasand ceviche along with melon juice. It cametogether as Maria, Marta, Estella and Veron-ica Serrano, with the help of a family friend,Bridget McIntrye, decided on starting a smallstand at Mountain Fair. In 2006, their ideasbecame reality.

“It started like a game. We thought aboutselling food on the corner, but Bridget men-tioned Mountain Fair. To us it seemed like agreat idea,” said Maria when interviewed.Eight years later, their enjoyable traditioncontinues. Every summer, two to three weeksbefore Mountain Fair, supplies are readied

and ingredients are bought from local mar-kets. Everything is done in an effort to ensurea successful year.

“We like seeing people enjoy our foodand having people tell us they like it,” men-tioned Estella. “It’s become a custom to be atMountain Fair and we are happy to be a partof it.”

Future plans for La Fogata include thecontinuation of its Mountain Fair standalong with a new addition: a restaurantopening on Aug. 30 in Carbondale. Therestaurant will include a much larger selec-tion of Mexican and Salvadoran dishes.

“La Fogata allows us to socialize withmany people; because of that, we love it!”said Martha. The new restaurant will be runby Estella and Martha Serrano with otherfamily members helping out.

WILD AT HEARTPhotos and text by

Jane Bachrach

“Wild at Heart” was the theme at thisyear’s Carbondale Mountain Fair as fair-goers and entertainers carried out thetheme creatively and literally. Some localcreatures crept out of the surroundingwilderness while others simply lived thewild life all weekend long. The call of thewild beckoned performers as well, andsome even participated in what became awild game of wood splitting.

Laurie Loeb returned to the drum cir-cle this year and used some wild gesturesnever before seen by fairgoers to commu-nicate what she wanted participants to dobecause she couldn’t be heard due to a mi-crophone malfunction. Some drummerswere laughing so hard they were unableto pick up the beat. Even nature was wildwith some pretty strong rain and thun-derstorms that refused to dampen any-body’s spirits.

Despite the wild weekend, the heart ofMountain Fair was always present, sur-rounding Sopris Park and Carbondalewith love.

Sopris Sun Staff Report

The Carbondale Soccer Club board of di-rectors has announced an initiative that itsaid will address league strategies that needimprovement, according to a press release.The board will also work with coaches, par-ent volunteers and player representatives toturn the club into one of the best soccerclubs anywhere.

Andrea Chacos is the new Carbondale Soc-cer Club board president.

“There is definitely a large sense of appreci-ation for the board members and coaches whohave been building this club for the past 10-plus years, however over that time, the numberof players has multiplied … and the club islooking to adjust and evolve accordingly,” thenew board said in a written statement.

The club has hired a new coaching director,Juan Quintero, who was raised in Carbondaleand played both soccer and basketball growingup. “With the support and motivation from hisfamily and coaches, Juan not only participatedin multiple championship games and tourna-ments throughout the U.S., but he also was se-lected to play basketball in college at ColoradoState University,” the press release said.

Chacos said Quintero stresses the monu-mental impact that playing sports has had onhis life, and he is excited to introduce a newcoaching curriculum, focused on age-appropri-ate development of skills as well as a structuredtransition into a competitive mindset. Quinterosaid he also hopes to bring a new level of train-ing to the coaches, as many of them volunteertheir time but have little-to-no training.

Also new to the club is Katie Preston, whowill act as the Girls’ League coordinator andthe U14 girls’ head coach.

Preston also has been assigned the task tocoordinate the development of the league in-frastructure as well as to raise money throughwriting grants, donation proposals, and host-ing fund-raisers.

Preston said her background in raisingmoney comes from her service in the PeaceCorps (Azerbaijan) in 2007-2009. There, shewas required to write a number of grant

proposals as well as facilitate the develop-ment of programs similar to the CarbondaleSoccer Club.

Preston played at a competitive level start-ing at the age of 10 and eventually moved onto play for the University of Colorado’s GoldClub team. She also coached for the BoulderCounty Force as a U10 head coach and U16assistant coach. Many of her peers and theplayers she coached participated in collegiatesports, which she said is a driving force behindher motivation to contribute to the club.

“I believe that if there’s the right kind ofmotivation and support from coaches and par-ents alike, their athlete will rise up to becomehighly competitive stars, which will ultimatelybring in college and professional scouts to ob-serve Carbondale’s soccer players,” she said.

As for the club’s foundation, the press re-lease said that many long-standing boardmembers have committed endless hours oftheir time to bring the club this far, and haveexpressed their enthusiasm in seeing where itwill go. “The newest members to the CSC areexcited to work together with veteran boardmembers in bringing new ideas, strategies andobjectives to the club to build it into one that’sstronger and more competitive,” the press re-lease said.

Ultimately, the soccer club hopes to ac-complish a number of things: improve com-munications on all levels; clarify roles andresponsibilities of parents, players, coachesand the board; provide professional trainingto the volunteer coaching staff; introduce anew coaching curriculum that will span overseveral seasons; offer more clinics, trainingsand tournaments; collaborate with schoolathletics; address any holes in the current busi-ness strategy and patch those up.

“Ideally, the CSC would like to fuel thehearts of the soccer community of Carbon-dale and motivate the young athletes intoworking to be the best in the valley, if not thestate of Colorado, and keep their eyes on theopportunity and possibility of playing sportsin college, or even on Team USA,” the pressrelease concluded.


The number of Carbondale Soccer Club players is up, according to club officials, whichis one reason the organization is revamping its operations. Among the new goals: pro-vide professional training for volunteer coaches. Sopris Sun file photo

Shelley said the district will start developing a new strategic plan in November, afterthe current marketing plan process is complete.

Continuing, Shelley said the district has asked JVA Consulting to incorporate the dis-trict’s new vision and mission statements into its marketing efforts, including:

• Gathering data using demographic research, GIS marketing segmentation, surveys,focus groups and community meetings to identify user groups;

• Facilitating community meetings with key stakeholders including the general pub-lic, library users, community leaders and elected officials to test the district’s “organiza-tional values, mission and vision” to be sure they align with the district’s “customers;”

• Analyzing processes and recommending improvements for existing media and mar-keting efforts, and;

• Creating a marketing plan that easily communicates the district’s vision, missionand goals to the district’s communities.

The total cost of the project is not to exceed $25,000, Shelley said.Since 2007, the Garfield County Public Library district – which operates libraries in

Parachute, Rifle, Silt, New Castle, Glenwood Springs and Carbondale – has hired out-side consultants to help plan its recently completed district-wide construction projectsand create strategic plans. In 2007, at a cost of $53,945, the district’s board of directorshired Dubberty-Garcia to develop construction programs that ultimately resulted innew libraries or library expansion for each of the district’s towns, and to generate dataand goals for a strategic plan, Shelley said.

In 2011, Shelley said she hired Suiter and Associates for $3,627 to facilitate threestrategic planning sessions. “We were working on the three years that were dominatedby construction activities and felt that doing the majority of the work in- house was ap-propriate at that time,” she said.

The current strategic plan for 2012-2014 was done mostly in-house, Shelley said.The public input session at the Carbondale Branch Library is scheduled for 6 p.m.,

on Aug. 27. For details, call 963-2889 or go to gcpld.org.The other sessions also start at 6 p.m. at the following libraries:• Aug. 5 – Glenwood Springs;• Aug. 6 – Rifle;• Aug. 20 – New Castle;• Aug. 21 – Parachute;• Aug. 26 – Silt.

Aug. 10-13 in AspenSopris Sun Staff Report

NextGen Climate founder Tom Steyerwill be a featured speaker at the 11th annualAREDAY Summit in Aspen, which runsAug. 10-13.

Steyer, a billionaire philanthropist, causeda political stir when he committed $100 mil-lion to fight global warming, according to apress release. He will participate in the panel“Can a Political Agenda Be Achieved thatMeets the Urgency of the Climate ChangeCrisis?” at 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 12. Other pan-elists include League of Conservation VotersPresident Gene Karpinski and former Presi-dent of the National Wildlife FederationLarry Schweiger.

American Renewal Energy Day is pre-sented by the American Renewable EnergyInstitute at the Hotel Jerome and will fea-ture 125 scientists, educators, internationalbusiness leaders, financial experts, studentactivists, renewable energy authorities, tech-nology innovators and representatives of theenvironmental movement.

Other notable speakers include: Gen. (re-tired) Wesley Clark, David Blume (BlumeDistillation), Morgan Williams (CEO ofBiochar Solutions), Lawrence Bloom (chair-man of the B.e. Energy advisory board) andSuzanne Hunt (Hunt Green LLC founder).

Rice University professor Douglas Brink-ley will also talk with Steyer in an armchairconversation titled “Politics, Climate Change

& History” at 8:45 a.m. on Aug. 13. Brink-ley, a frequent guest on the “Imus in theMorning” syndicated radio show, has writ-ten several books, including “The ReaganDiaries,” “The Wilderness Warrior” (aboutTheodore Roosevelt), “The Great Deluge:Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans and theMississippi Gulf Coast.”

As for Steyer, his name has been in thenews since February, when he announced a$100 million campaign to fight climatechange. His campaign – $50 million of hisown, and $50 million to be raised by his PAC,NextGen Climate – is meant to encourage ac-tion on global warming by helping to electcandidates who support such measures.

The New York Times said the campaignwould put NextGen “among the largest out-side groups in the country, similar in scale tothe conservative political network overseenby Charles and David Koch.” Steyer has saidhe plans to finance full-fledged political cam-paigns in at least seven key states, aimed atDemocratic victory in the 2014 midtermsand the 2016 presidential race.

Steyer founded Farallon Capital Man-agement, a high-net-worth equity manage-ment firm, in 1986. He sold his stake in thefirm in late 2012 and no longer earns a shareof its profits.

Critics have been quick to point out Far-allon’s investments in the coal industry. In anop-ed for Politico earlier this month, Steyeraddressed his past, saying “It’s true — Far-allon did make fossil fuel investments undermy watch. But the more I learned about the

energy and climate problems we currentlyface, the more I realized I had to change mylife. I concluded that the best way to alignmy work with my beliefs was to make a realchange — leaving my role managing a firmwith investments across the industrial spec-trum, and instead joining in the global effortto find a solution to climate change once andfor all.” He said that completely divested hispersonal holdings from the fossil fuel indus-try as of June 30 of this year.

Steyer will receive this year’s AREI Cli-

mate Hero Award at the AREDAY Summit.“We cannot continue to ignore the risk,” hesaid. “Together, we must look at the evidenceand make different and better decisions. Andthat starts with individuals considering theirown actions—and taking personal respon-sibility and changing their actions.”

The American Renewable Energy Insti-tute is a Roaring Fork Valley-based non-profit. A total of 250 passes are available forAREDAY. For details, go to areday.net or920-5770.

(Editor’s note: This article is meant to be a general refer-ence. Consult the White River National Forest districtranger headquarters in Carbondale, a hiking guidebookor experienced mountaineer before heading out).

By Sara H. PorterSpecial to The Sopris Sun

There has been a long-standing discussion in Carbondale.No, not that of the roundabout or the plastic bags at the gro-cery store. I am talking about the infamous Mount Soprishike. Residents and visitors may have their preferences, butshould you do this classic hike in one day or two?

To get to the Mount Sopris trailhead, drive south on High-way 133 and make a left on Prince Creek Road. Drive PrinceCreek Road and follow the signs to Dinkle Lake (about sevenmiles or so). The parking lot is located on the left side of theroad and the trailhead is directly across from the lot. The trailis fairly easy to navigate until above treeline, where it is mostlya pick-your-way-through-the-rocky-terrain until you reachthe summit. The elevation gain on this mountain is over 4,000feet. The distance and elevation qualify it as a strenuous hike.

If you want to tackle the approximately 12-mile round tripin one day, it is advised to start early morning. This helps toensure you beat the daily afternoon thunderstorms. You willneed a daypack with hiking essentials and sufficient time tospend on the trail. One day makes for a great hike but defi-nitely a long one.

The first few miles meander through aspens until you ar-rive at Thomas Lakes. Then the trail begins to get steeperand rockier. The last few miles of the hike are in a variablescree field that leads to the summit. Often, many hike theridge and think they are standing on the summit but don’tbe fooled! The summit is actually quite a bit further and youmust continue on the rocky talus down a saddle and back upthe other side.

You will know you are on the east summit when you spotthe man-made cove created in the rock. (Note: There is alsoa west summit that is the same height but you have to hike an-other saddle across to it). Now is the time to sit down, pro-tect yourself from the wind, and take some time to enjoy theview of the valley!

Then the fun (cough-cough) begins. During the return hike,you will feel burning in the legs as you maneuver down therock field. The footing is uneasy and the scramble will leaveyour quads shaky and sore for days to come. I am not saying

it’s not worth it, but it does give your body a little realitycheck. After clearing that section of the hike, you will feel re-lieved when you get to walk on a dirt trail for the last fewmiles. It is a long day but the accomplishment and scenerymake it well worth the grind.

The two-dayOn the other hand, if you want to spend more time en-

joying the area, the two-day version might be for you. You

Mount Sopris in late June. A saddle connects the mountain’s twin peaks. In August, folks start speculating whether allthe snow will melt on the saddle before early autumn storms start to pile it back on. Sopris Sun file photo

MT. SOPRIS HIKE page 23

will need to bring your backpack withcamping supplies and most folks choose tocamp near Thomas Lakes.

The benefits of the two-day hike are thatyou can break it up and you get to start

closer to the rocky fun. The lake campingarea is quiet and calm. Sunrise makes it easyto wake early and begin walking. I have hadno problems leaving my large backpack atmy camping spot, carrying a smaller pack

for necessities, and then returning to it. Thehike seems a little easier on the muscles butbe aware. After hours of hiking, it sure feelsdifficult to put your heavy pack back on tohike the couple of miles down to the car.

It is your choice whether you want toslog up in one day or have a night out lake-

side before hiking to the summit. Just makesure that you do your research and figureout which option is the best for you.

After approaching Mount Sopris bothways, I have made my choice. Yep, I waituntil late spring, slap the skins on the skis forthe uphill, and ride them all the way down.

Thanks to Heritage ParkDear Editor:

I recently lost a close friend who spent thelast 18 months of her life at Heritage ParkCare Center, �rst in assisted living and then,as her health further failed following severalstrokes, in the Skilled Nursing section. For thelast month of my friend’s life, I was there sev-eral times a day and able to observe the ex-

cellent care provided by the kind, caring anddedicated staff; I cannot speak more highly oftheir commitment to their clients’ well being.

It is so dif�cult to observe our loved onesin discomfort and we strive to do all we canto ease their pain. I felt that every request thatI made to Heritage on her behalf was hon-ored and every attempt was made to ful�llher needs. She was treated with the utmostdignity and respect and loving care. I am verygrateful to the wonderful folks at HeritagePark. How fortunate we are to have this fa-cility in our community.

Second-class votersDear Editor:

Earlier this summer, approximately 64percent of “active” registered Colorado votersreceived primary election ballots. Although Iam “active, ” I did not receive a ballot. As oneof the 35 percent of Colorado voters “unaf-filiated” with either major official party, all Ireceived was a letter stating that I need to “af-filiate” in order to vote.

The U.S. Constitution and the ColoradoConstitution both guarantee “freedom of as-sociation” – the freedom to associate withwhom we please, which necessarily includesthe freedom not to associate – to decline toassociate with certain persons or organiza-tions. The U.S. Constitution and the Col-orado Constitution also provide for suchrights as due process and equal protection,which guarantee the right of citizens to par-ticipate equally in the political process.

Colorado law, however, requires me to bea member of a political party in order to votein the primary election. In order to exercisemy right to participate in the political process,I must give up my right “not to associate.” In

effect, I have to choose between First Amend-ment and 14th Amendment rights.

Compounding the problem is that the pri-mary is funded by the state of Colorado usingtax dollars. While the 35 percent of us who areunaffiliated are not allowed to vote in the pri-mary, we are required to help pay for it. We arefirst-class taxpayers, but second-class voters.

Recently, a lawsuit was brought in U.S.Federal Court in Newark by a coalition calledEnd Partisanship on behalf of eight New Jer-sey voters, IndependentVoting.org and the In-dependent Voter Project. The suit challengesstate funding of closed primaries and de-mands that every voter have an equal andmeaningful vote at every stage of the state-funded election process. Independent/unaffil-iated voters throughout the country arewatching the case closely.

If you would like to know more about theefforts of unaffiliated voters to bring full vot-ing rights to Colorado residents, please con-tact me at [email protected].
