Affordable rental project will cost town major bucks

Cottonwood Pass paving project hits speed bump

Moose population expanding in the valley“People love to see

moose”[ by Seth MenSing ]

It used to be that seeing a moose required a drive out of the Gun-nison Valley. But for Kat Fentiman, who was stay-ing with her husband at their home near Crested Butte South for the Labor Day weekend, all it took was rolling groggily over in bed.

“I wake up and turn over and there’s a moose looking in the window, with his little face pressed against the window,“ Fentiman said. “He had a great big rack but he didn’t look like a huge guy to me. But I just started screaming ‘Moose, moose, moose!’”

With the rising sun shining in, she won-dered if the moose could even see through the glare. But while the Fentimans scrambled for a camera, the moose seemed to look on, then turned to graze and eventually amble off over the East River.

Whether it’s in Gothic, Grant Lake, on Kebler Pass or in Crested Butte South, Colo-

rado Parks and Wildlife area wildlife man-ager J Wenum says it’s not surprising more and more moose are making their way to the area.

“We’ve got moose scattered around. It’s just an estimate, but there are probably 15 or 20 moose up in Taylor Park,” Wenum said. “Young, male moose, especially, are pretty nomadic. They’ll wander quite a bit and could cover 100 or 150, even 200 miles.”

Sixth and Belleview…3 stories, 30 units, parking, dogs and bikes

[ by Mark reaMan ]

The developers of the proposed af-fordable housing rental project at Sixth and Belleview outlined the idea at a Crested Butte town council work session on Tuesday, September 3 and asked the council for $65,000 in preliminary fund-ing. They reassured the council that the project at the entrance to town would be a good looking, quality project that would serve a demographic in need of af-fordable housing in Crested Butte.

“Just because it will be a big build-ing for low income rentals doesn’t mean it can’t look great, have high quality con-struction and include things like high ef-ficiency energy systems,” developer Bill Coburn told the council. “We’ve heard concerns voiced about having such a project at that location. But the building is pretty far back from Sixth. There is more than 7,000 feet of B-2 commercial space left for business structures along Sixth Street.”

Coburn reiterated that the site was favorable given the building size that would likely be in the 21,000 square foot range. The three-story building would ac-commodate 24 one-bedroom apartments and six two-bedroom units. “True Value, Clarks Market and the Center for the Arts are nearby. It’s right on the transit route. It’s about the only place we could do a building like this in town,” he said.

County asked to contribute $5 million

[ by aiMee eaton ]

After authorizing an initial scoping process in July for the updating of Cotton-wood Pass, Gunnison County has arrived at a bit of standstill in its effort to begin construction on the road. The pause, of course, is related to funding.

According to the Central Federal Lands Highway Division, the price tag on the proposed safety improvements and paving of the high mountain highway is $27,115,000. Of that, the county would be required to provide a 17.2 percent match in funds, or just more than $5 million, by spring 2018.

That’s a lot of money to come up with, especially during a period when incoming dollars from oil and gas development in the county are on the decline, said Gunnison County Commissioner Phil Chamberland.

“I’m in favor of paving Cottonwood Pass, even at $5 million,” said Chamber-land, “but I’m not willing to do it at the expense of our comfort level with our fund balance, and I do think this would try our comfort level.”

Cottonwood Pass, also recognized as County Road 209, connects Gunnison County to Chaffee County via the Sawatch Range. The Chaffee County side of the pass is already paved; however, the road is gravel in Gunnison County and is made more notable by a series of hairpin turns.

Improvements to the pass qualify for funding under the Federal Lands Access Program, which supports work on public highways, roads, bridges, trails and transit systems located on, adjacent to, or provid-ing access to federal lands.

“It used to be that the improvements would have been covered completely by federal funding, and when they paved the Chaffee side that was the case,” said Gun-nison County Commissioner Paula Swen-son. “Now, though, with the planning and construction our contribution would be $5 million.”

Swenson said she and the other com-missioners were willing to commit the county to paying for the planning and en-vironmental assessment of the construction plan, but at this time they were not willing to sign on for the remaining portion of the project because they were unclear how the county could pay for it. The planning and assessment would cost about $240,000.

WORLDRussia rejects evidence of chemical attackRussia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov dismissed as unconvincing the evi-dence presented by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry of chemical weapons use by the Syrian government, saying on Monday that the United States had fallen far short of making a case for international cooperation on mili-tary strikes against the government of President Bashar al-Assad. Lavrov’s remarks signaled that Russia would continue to block the United Nations Security Council from authorizing military intervention against the Syrian government, even if the U.S. Congress grants President Obama the back-ing he has requested for an attack. —information compiled from the New York Times

Crop diseases moving toward the polesCrop pests and diseases are moving towards the poles at about the same speed as warmer temperatures. The finding suggests that climate change is driving the relocation, and raises major concerns about food security. Ecologists have already documented such a shift in many wild species, in-cluding some birds and insects. A team of scientists recently found that, on average, crop pests have been moving towards the poles at 2.7 kilometers per year, which is very close to the rate of climate change. However, the rate of shift varied significantly for different groups and among individual species. —information compiled from Scientific American

NATIONJustice Dept. gives green light to states adopting marijuana regulationsDespite 75 years of federal marijuana prohibition, the U.S. Justice Depart-ment said Thursday that states can let people use the drug, license people to grow it and even allow adults to stroll into stores and buy it—as long as the weed is kept away from kids, the black market and federal property. In a sweeping new policy statement prompted by pot legalization votes in Washington and Colorado last fall, the department gave the green light to states to adopt tight regulatory schemes to oversee the medical and recre-ational marijuana industries burgeoning across the country. —information compiled from the Associated Press

Nyad sets record in swim from Cuba to Florida Sixty-four-year-old U.S. endurance swimmer Diana Nyad reached Smathers Beach in Key West, Fla., after swimming for more than 48 hours, becoming the first person to officially complete the 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage. Nyad had to call off her previous non-stop swim last year after facing bad weather and jellyfish stings. Her support team said they were seeing large moon jellyfish. Nyad wore a special silicone mask to protect her face from their stings. —information compiled from the BBC

STATECDOT wants remote blasting system for avalanche mitigationColorado highway engineers are seeking U.S. Forest Service approval to use remote-controlled blasters to trigger small snowslides in an attempt to keep big avalanches from blocking Berthoud Pass. If the $1.2 million system works, the Colorado Department of Transportation plans to install the propane-powered blasters above mountain passes statewide, replac-ing the current practice of firing Army artillery shells from howitzers into avalanche chutes. —information compiled from the Denver Post

RTD picks diesel over natural gasCompressed-natural-gas vehicles have plenty of high-profile boosters, including environmental groups, the nation’s first rural bus rapid transit system and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper. But the Regional Transpor-tation District doubts that compressed natural gas—or CNG—is a good fit for its bus fleet. The RTD board of directors decided to replace 52 of its aging articulated buses with ones that run on clean diesel instead of CNG. Electric buses also were snubbed by RTD, which says that for now diesel is the preferred fuel source, mainly because it is cheaper than alternative power sources. —information compiled from the Denver Post

The signs are there. We are in transition time. The seasons are changing.

There are clumps of yellow on some of the aspens. There was a big hoorah of Labor Day busyness on Elk Avenue this past weekend. But there is a different type of calmness out in town right now. The kids are back in school, parking on Elk won’t be a big problem dur-ing the weekdays and the Broncos kick off the football season on Thursday.

Every season has a rhythm and the one that seems a tad out of whack right now is election season. Because of the upcoming county-coordinated mail election, names for Crested Butte Town Council candidates had to be submitted in August. That feels early. And we’re already getting the candidates’ introductions and actual endorsement letters. That is certainly early. But we appreciate every piece of correspondence and Lord knows, this election has the potential to facilitate some change.

Because mail ballots will be sent out starting October 11, we are thinking of holding our annual candidates’ forum on Thursday, October 10. That would be two weeks earlier than normal. But the Crested Butte Community School fall break is the next week and we want to give everyone an opportunity to show up and grill the candidates. Plus, since there won’t be a polling

place in Crested Butte you have to use the U.S. mail sys-tem or run your ballot down to Gunnison to cast your vote this year. That means everyone will likely be voting earlier than the official November 5 Election Day.

So, we’ll start asking the candidates questions at the end of this month and run their answers in the paper through October. If you are an interested voter or are an out of town observer who can’t vote but wishes you could (like myself) and you have a question for the candidates that you’d like to see addressed in the paper, send it to us at editorial@crestedbuttenews.com.

In the meantime, while election season seems to be hitting us early, summer seems to be holding on longer than normal. It has to get cold before we can officially enjoy an Indian Summer but so far it just keeps being summer up here at 9,000 feet. That is a blessing.

So before being consumed by local politics, take advantage of these warm September days and evenings and get out. It’s a lot less crowded now in the backcoun-try and on the benches. Filling your brain with pretty views and fresh air can’t hurt when helping to make a clear decision when election season hits us in full force. Enjoy the late summer.

—Mark Reaman

The rhythm of election season seems a bit out of whack...

Dear editor,We’ve all made a choice to be

in Crested Butte. While we have different interests and come from different places, our reasons for being here are not all that differ-ent. I came to town in 1999 with a car full of gear and the simple goal of spending time in this small mountain community. I worked for the newspaper, volunteered as a DJ, photographed everything and everyone, and quickly learned to appreciate how beautiful, unique and quirky our community can be -- where we stay on a first-name

and nickname basis with just about everyone.

I treasure most that we have a safe community, clean water and a quality school for our family. Kate and I walked with Mario to his first day of kindergarten this year, and there’s no place like CB for sending a child off to school. We live on the busiest street in town, so I’m sensi-tive to the congestion and traffic during peak weeks of summer. I also recognize it’s not the easiest place to find year-round work or run a small business. Sometimes the choice to be here can be a difficult

one, but it’s always worth it.We have to choose how our

valley will respond to increasing pressures in coming years. We can’t sit back and simply watch what happens; we need to make informed decisions and responsibly adapt. I want to continue raising our family here, not simply stand back and watch what happens. We need a council that can prioritize and make these decisions, so I hope you’ll choose to support me in November.

Dear Editor:Since 1970 we have taken our children from our home in Denton, Texas to Lake Irwin for

our annual vacation. Now our children are taking their children. It has been a place of quiet beauty and restorative rest. The campground at Lake Irwin is our family’s most favorite spot in the United States. In this pristine area, sound travels farther than it would in a town.

Once dark comes, the campground is very quiet. We would hate to see the tranquil atmo-sphere blasted by the sound of hundreds of cars driving during the quiet evening hours and into the night going to and from the Lake Irwin Lodge. Please protect the tranquil atmosphere of the lake and preserve an area that has provided so much to our family over many years.

Garry LandrethDenton, Texas

Dear Mark:We represent a collective

group including, but not limited to, residents of the Gunnison County, business partners of Irwin Backcountry Guides and its affiliate companies, experienced guests of Eleven, subcontractors and business persons who would like to express support for the Scarp Ridge proposal.

We are aware of and under-stand the details of the Sketch Plan Application for the Irwin master plan that was filed by Scarp Ridge, LLC for their 145 acres of lode mining claims above Lake Irwin. Those plans include a public parking area, vault toilets, and public trail to intersect an existing trail to the top of Scarp Ridge, renovations to the old Irwin Lodge, up to six single-family cabins, two warming huts, one overlook structure, and one storage shed. We understand this application also includes recre-ation plans for single-track trails for mountain biking and hiking on private lands as well as a ropes course and canopy tour on private land.

Anyone who fairly evalu-ates the projects that Scarp Ridge, LLC has completed in Crested Butte and above Irwin would acknowledge that Scarp Ridge, LLC’s buildings are attractive and compatible with their sur-roundings. The application now winding its way through Gun-nison County’s land use permit process is a continuation of Scarp Ridge, LLC’s record of excellence and support for our local com-munity and businesses. We are, after all, a resort community that must continue to attract people to experience the wonders of

the high country. Scarp Ridge, LLC’s world-renowned and very popular cat skiing operation is testimony to the high quality of its activities. People who must earn a living in this valley ap-preciate and support Scarp Ridge, LLC’s continued collaboration with its local partners, contrac-tors and employees to bring more visitors and media to the Crested Butte area for a high-quality guest experience.

We’d like to thank you for your careful consideration of this application, we think the long term, environmentally sensitive investments Scarp Ridge, LLC is making in our valley have a substantial, positive impact to the local community and guests.

ART WALK: Matthew Thornburg was the featured artist at the Rijks Family Gallery during the art walk on Thursday, August 29. photo by Lydia Stern

Dear Mark:I have had some concern for years regarding

the lack of compliance with the rules of the road by cyclists in Crested Butte. Today, after almost running over another cyclist who was riding inap-propriately, I am finally writing the letter I had wished to write before.

I have had three close calls in the past two years. The first was with perhaps a 20-year-old male, whom I observed heading to the Four-way Stop on the sidewalk coming from the CFA, travel-ing at a good clip. I stopped at the stop sign and started straight across the intersection. This young man made a screaming left turn from the sidewalk into the pedestrian crosswalk without stopping or slowing down. I missed him by an inch and had to slam on the breaks. He never looked back.

My second encounter was this past spring when coming up Belleview with my signal on for a right turn at a stop sign. I stopped, started to turn and a young woman on a bike came riding swiftly up on my right, did not stop and went straight across the intersection. I almost ran into her as well.

Today, Sunday, I was traveling east down Maroon to 4th to take a left turn. Again, I stopped with signal on, started up and a young man, perhaps 13, sped by me in the left lane heading straight across the intersection, since there were no cars in that lane heading the other direction, to the west. From what I could judge at the time, he never even looked to see if any cars / bikers were coming across 4th from either direction, where there are no stop signs! I decided to follow this kid, and was successful in being able to meet up with him at the bus stop by the Gas Café.

I sat down and asked him a few question regarding how he was doing, where was he going, etc. Up on the mountain to ride… Then I told him that I was concerned for his safety and continued

on with the story regarding how I had almost run him over, which would have been a very sad day. I suggested to him that he learn the rules of the road and adhere to them. We have many visitors who live in other towns and cities where cyclists are required to follow the rules of the road. These drivers are not necessarily looking out for such situations at every corner, alley or driveway.

This weekend at the People’s Fair, I was shocked to see all the bicyclists speeding down the sidewalks. Not everyone was looking both ways when exiting our shops and restaurants. It was scary! Dismounting and walking the sidewalks for the weekend would have been prudent, in my opinion. I am from New York State, where one must dismount and walk a bike if in a pedestrian crosswalk, stop at every stop sign and never ride a bike, scooter or skateboard on a sidewalk.

Below is the Internet link for a PDF of the Colorado rules of the road for cyclists (with great diagrams) for adults to refresh their memories and to share with their kids. Young people need to know these rules before leaving Crested Butte for certain and it would make Crested Butte a much safer place to drive / ride if our cyclists were more conscious of these rules and actually followed them. I am only one person and I am sure there are many others who have had similar experiences. I am an avid road biker / occasional mountain biker and I adhere to the rules of the road for my own safety and the safety of others. I have also looked on the Internet and bikers are responsible for dam-ages to a driver / driver’s car if the biker was not following the rules of the road and was involved in a collision with a car.

Thanks for printing this…

Heads up to some cyclists: There are safer ways to ride your bike

To the Editor:An important meeting was

held in Crested Butte on August 9, 2013; The Rocky Mountain Biological Lab hosted panel discussion on the future of the Gunnison Valley. At that meet-ing knowledgeable scientists and community members discussed what’s in store for the natural systems of the Gunnison Valley as the result of climate change. A call to action was also included in the proceedings of the meeting. The state director of the Nature Con-servancy stated clearly that “We can study and understand climate change but what we need to begin to do is- do something about it.”

Dr. Mary Price, terrestrial ecologist clarified that; “It’s not just about scientific research, but

people who love a place and want to understand it and want to con-tinue to enjoy it.”

And Ian Billick, RMBL direc-tor closed with; “We talk a lot about knowledge being power. On a very optimistic note if there’s any community worldwide that’s powerful, it’s probably this com-munity. The more we know about this community, the more power we’ll have to influence our future than anyplace else…”

A subtle but extremely profound statement was made by lifelong Gunnison Valley resident and rancher, Jan Washburn;” As a child I can remember when the valley was more open. Listing the subdivisions that weren’t here; Crested Butte South, Skyland, Riverbend, Riverland, Meridian,

Butte Pastures. Definitely the population has increased, which we expect it to do….”

Ms. Washburn almost called out the elephant in the room; pop-ulation growth. While the purpose of the meeting was to present data describing the future of the valley it was profound that no one other than Ms. Washburn brought up the impacts of population growth. (At least it wasn’t reported in the Crested Butte News article.) Mitigat-ing climate change was indicated as an action that could be taken but we all know that climate change is the direct result of the unprecedented growth of human populations and the attendant environmental impacts.

The Elephant in the Room; population

Crested Butte News September 6, 2013 | 5LETTERS

The Elephant in the Roomcontinued from previous page

If the knowledgeable people of the Gunnison Valley wish to influence the future of their homeland then a discus-sion of reducing or eliminating population growth must be on the table. While Ms. Washburn may expect population growth, it may not necessarily be an unavoidable fact. And if the quality of life we enjoy today in the Gunnison Valley is to be preserved then the topic of population growth reduction should be on the agenda of every Commissioner’s meeting, Town Council meeting and all planning venues.

Some will say that growth is inevitable; others will go so far as to say “grow or die.” These philosophies are the nat-ural outcome of Adam Smith economics born in the age of industrialization and for North America, a seemingly limitless frontier blessed with abundant resources ripe for exploita-

tion. The current supply and demand economic model has served us well for a very long time but in the age of a full planet a new economic model is needed. First we must each decide if our “planet” is full. If our community believes we have enough houses, enough roads, enough cars, enough congestion, and enough noise we should come together as a knowledgeable community, perhaps one of the brightest, and begin the design of an economy that doesn’t require new greenfield construction, parking garages or widened highways.

While there is no doubt that changing our economic model from neo-classical economics to a new no-growth model will be challenging, we can ask ourselves what the valley will be like in 25 years if we continue on the trajectory of endless growth. Imagine all the currently vacant private land filled with houses and new businesses. Imagine the scale

of the traffic volume requiring wider highways and secondary roads; imagine the volume of additional people occupying the now open space we love so much. Some may argue that trying to stop growth is selfish and belies the “I got mine first” mentality. So be it. That is a hard reality of life in the 21st century on a full planet. And actually it takes little or no imagination to see the future of the valley; pay a visit to Aspen, Breckenridge or Steamboat. If that is what our community wants then it will be easy to achieve compared to tackling the challenge of building eco-nomic prosperity using a policy of no-growth.

So how might we achieve economic prosperity fairly for all concerned, and avoid the physical growth that has plagued other communities? I don’t pretend to be an expert on the subject. But I do have faith that there are many in our community who are knowl-edgeable in the area of econom-

ic policy as relates to the impact of growth and many others who see the inevitable error of not reducing or eliminating growth. I have a few ideas:

Create a working group of concerned citizens to draft policy relating to growth. Nominate and elect officials that will pursue the preferred no-growth policies.

Develop a comprehensive “sustainable growth plan.” But keep foremost in mind that sustainable growth is an oxymoron. All growth requires throughput from our depleted natural resources per the sec-ond law of thermodynamics.

Place a moratorium on new greenfield construction until the community can develop a comprehensive growth plan.

Encourage renovation and refurbishment of existing residential and commercial real estate and infrastructure. Offer tax incentives or other

considerations for those who renovate.

Discourage development of vacant properties. Consider higher utility tap fees to be used for purchase of open space or to support renovation initiatives. Place higher taxes on newly constructed proper-ties vs. renovated properties.

We can be assured of what our valley will look like in 25 years if we don’t address population growth. For those that love this valley that Dr. Price referred to, the next 25 years will likely be a depress-ing re-run of the same incre-mental demise that destroyed so many others places we have known and loved. If we come together to address population growth we will have the power to influence our future. I hope that happens.

Dear Editor:In October our residents

will have new opportunities associated with the Affordable Care Act. These opportunities include the upcoming health insurance enrollment through Connect for Health Colorado as well as the expansion of Colorado’s Medicaid insur-ance program. The purpose of this letter is to encourage residents to become familiar with the upcoming health insurance options.

• Connect for Health Colorado will provide an “insurance shopping” ex-change so that individuals can compare plans and cost. The primary benefit for using the exchange will be for individu-als/families at or below 400 percent* of the federal poverty level who may qualify for a financial credit on the cost of the insurance premiums. For example, individuals earning between $15,856 and $45,960/year or a family of four earn-ing between $32,499 and $94,200/year may be eligible for financial credit (about 1,600 Gunnison and Hinsdale residents may be eligible). Coverage begins January 1, 2014 for Coloradans who sign up by Dec.15, 2013. Go to www.ConnectforHealthCO.com for additional details. The Customer Service line is 855-PLANS-4-YOU or 855-752-6749.

• Medicaid is expanding beginning January 1, 2014. Individuals earning up to 133 percent* of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) (about $15,000/year for an individual or $30,000/year for a family of four) may be eligible for Medicaid coverage. There are an estimated 160,000 newly eligible Coloradans who could enroll in Medicaid (a projected 750 Gunnison and Hinsdale individuals). Go to www.colo-rado.gov/hcpf for additional information or www.Colora-

do.gov/PEAK for enrollment. Call 970-349-3244 for local assistance.

• Children’s Health Plan Plus (CHP+) will remain available to children whose family’s income is between 133 percent to 250 percent of poverty. Go to www.cchp.org/ for more information.

(*actual income limits may be slightly higher due to an approximate 5 percent income adjustment)

For individuals who do not have access to computers, printed information is being developed and will be avail-able at the Gunnison County Department of Health and Human Services, Hinsdale County Public Health and throughout various locations in both counties.

How will Gunnison and Hinsdale Counties help people get covered?

The Department of Health and Human Services is gear-ing up to enroll new Medicaid eligible applicants. If people need assistance shopping for coverage through the Connect for Health Colorado market-place (beyond the on-line en-rollment process and the gen-eral customer service center), we will offer local services to help people get connected.

Primary assistance sites will include:

• Gunnison County Department of Health and Human Services

225 N. Pine Gunnison, CO 81230(970) 349-7202• Hinsdale Public Health 304 W. 3rd StreetLake City, CO 81235(970) 944-0321Alternative outreach assis-

tance will be available in other locations.

Local insurance bro-kers certified by Connect for Health can also help people purchase plans.

As with most major systems changes, there may be some challenges, however, the value of having health insurance coverage is truly significant. There are many benefits to the new Affordable Care Act, such as preventative care, no life time maximum, coverage for individuals with preexisting conditions and many more. Additional infor-mation will be forthcoming. Meanwhile, begin exploring your health coverage needs and options.

Thank you,Renee Brown, DirectorGunnison County Department of Health and Human Services

Recycle electronics on Americorp day of service

Dear Community:I have decided to run for one of the open

seats on the Crested Butte Town Council. For those of you in the community who don’t know me, I would like to take a few minutes of your time to introduce myself. I moved to Crested Butte 15 years ago in order to finish my degree and do a little skiing on the side. I took a job for CBMR as a Lift Op and worked full time while going to school. In 2001 I earned my degree in history from Western State College and I am still working for CBMR.

I have been a Ski Lift Mechanic at CBMR for the last 11 years and take pride in providing a safe experience for everyone who uses the lifts. However, like a number of others in this valley, I know what it is like to work several jobs in order to live here. Over the years my “bonus” jobs have included; store clerk, bar-tender, event security, door guy, metal-worker, and party tent erector.

In 2006 I took the toughest second job I have ever had. I applied for and was approved to be a part of the second round of self-help built houses in Crested Butte. For those who are not familiar with the process, it was an af-fordable housing project in town where future homeowners helped each other build their homes. Through the process the homebuild-ers were required to work a minimum of 30 hours week (in addition to their full-time jobs) in order to complete the project. A long year later our homes were completed and our group of builders moved into our new homes. As of 2007 I have been the proud owner of a deed restricted, affordable housing unit in Crested Butte, that I built.

I feel fortunate that my family is able to

live in a town such as this. My teenage son along with all other kids in town are lucky to be able to attend one of the best public schools in the state. We have an excellent Parks and Recreation Department that provides programs for all ages and abilities and we are sur-rounded by endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. The Arts and Entertainment com-munity continues to grow and offer our senses bigger and better things year after year. Our little town is surrounded by breathtaking open space with amazing views in all directions. And the sense of community here never ceases to amaze me.

I feel that this place can only get better. We need to support the business owners of town and help them be prosperous. We need to keep moving forward with affordable housing and keep our work force, not to mention our friends and neighbors, in town. I would love to see more growth in our Parks and Recreation department and overall I would like to help us work together as a community to continue to prosper.

I have never really thought about being part of the political process before but after talking with many people in the community and some encouragement from friends and coworkers I feel that I would be a good repre-sentative of the people in Crested Butte. We all have our ideas on what makes a strong village, so please start sharing them with me and let me be your voice on Town Council. Please feel free to contact me with thoughts and ideas at: joshuajschumacher@gmail.com

Thank you for your time.

Graves endorses Rubingh for mayor

Mason seeks to retain council seat

Huck is a good ambassador

Shout out for Habitat donations

Dear Editor:I am endorsing Jeremy Rub-

ingh in the upcoming mayoral race.

I have worked with Jer-emy on the Gunnison County Democratic Committee, and as a member of this committee, I have found Jeremy to be exceptionally knowledgeable and capable. His input on this committee shows a breadth of familiarity with all sorts of facts along with the skill to find solutions to challenges.

Jeremy is now co-chair of this committee and he has shown himself to be an effective leader. He knows how to deal with differing opinions in order to

find consensus. He knows how to run an effective meeting. He understands how to bring out input from quieter members of our committee and to convey opinions from the public. I feel confident that he has the ability to be an effective leader of our Town Council.

Jeremy is active in several other organizations, which gives him a broad perspective of varied community activities. Our town has a wide range of interests, needs, activities. Jeremy is in a particularly good position to un-derstand the mixture that makes up Crested Butte.

His deep roots here, from his

early childhood, have given him a strong appreciation of what our town is about, for what makes Crested Butte so special. Jeremy’s values reflect this. He is open minded, is accepting of all, seeks the opinion of others; Jeremy is creative, thinks ‘outside the box;’ Jeremy values our environment and the economic driver that it creates; Jeremy values the welfare of all and, most important to me, he is kind and caring. He has that worthwhile combination of strong ability and compassionate values.

My vote will be for Jeremy Rubingh for mayor.

Diana Graves

Dear Crested Butte Citizens:It is with great excitement and much enthusiasm

that I announce my candidacy to renew my seat on the Crested Butte Town Council.

I was born in Gunnison Hospital and raised in Crested Butte. Throughout 32 total years of residence in the valley, I have witnessed first hand the many changes our town has undergone over the years. Hav-ing this unique perspective gives me the opportunity to view town issues from a historic and holistic point of view.

After graduating from Gunnison High School (there was no high school in a Crested Butte yet), I spent five years attending Colorado State University where I graduated with a BS in biology. In 1996 I returned to Crested Butte to take a summer off before continuing my education. However, Crested Butte worked its magic on me that summer, and I never left! Crested Butte is now my permanent home, where I am part owner of our family operated construction company, a husband, and a father of (soon to be) two daughters. I have served as your council representa-tive for the last four years, from 2009 through 2013.

I am seeking reelection because I truly care about our community. In addition, our community needs consistency and experience to grapple with the issues we are facing. The first two years of my term, I took

the time to listen and learn from the public, senior council members, and staff, while simultaneously learning the ropes of town government and town is-sues. Having already spent that time adjusting makes me poised and ready to lead the town efficiently and effectively for the next four years.

During a second term, one of my goals is to champion a solution to our summer congestion and traffic flow in the town limits. By initiating a Trans-portation Master Plan we can take steps to ensure our guests and residents alike can safely enjoy this small slice of paradise. In addition, I want to see our busi-nesses thrive throughout the year, including the winter months and shoulder seasons. Close collaboration with Mt. Crested Butte is essential for this to become a reality. I also want to make sure our water is drink-able and our surrounding lands are accessible for our generation and generations to come. Each one of these issues is close to my heart, and I would welcome the opportunity to continue to work towards progress and solutions for each.

Please vote for me, Roland Mason, on November 5. It would be my honor to serve you for the next four years.

Sincerely,Roland Mason

To Our Community:I am writing in support of

the re-election of Aaron Huckstep as mayor of Crested Butte. My wife and three children moved to Crested Butte full-time a year and a half ago. Since then, we have had a great time meeting families like ours, and a number of new friends, including Huck. I saw Huck work to build bridges in our commu-nity first-hand last winter. On a number of occasions, Huck invited Ethan Mueller and me to join him backcountry skiing up the Slate River valley. I saw these two catch up on issues facing the ski area and the town, all while having fun in

our paradise. These interactions can only help strengthen our commu-nity in the future.

One of the most important roles of a mayor is that of Ambassa-dor for our town. In my case, Huck has been open and inviting to my family as new residents. Those trips last winter showed me how much he appreciates what we have here in Crested Butte, and how easy and effectively he embraces the role of Crested Butte’s biggest fan, sup-porter and spokesperson.

I encourage you to vote for Huck in the upcoming election. He is a smart guy, with a passion for Crested Butte. He has demonstrated

that he is very capable in the posi-tion of mayor, and is committed to serving the town of Crested Butte.

Sincerely,Bobby Warner

Dear Editor:Norman Bardeen, former

Crested Butte resident, has donated all of his used construction tools to Habitat. WOW! Gunnison County is full of wonderful citizens and volun-teers just like Norman who make it all possible. We have built 12 Habitat homes in the county.

In 2012, Habitat acquired 1.68 acres of vacant land in West Gunni-son where we plan to build nine new homes. The infrastructure process is complete. The foundation for the first home in this Will’s Way Develop-ment will be completed in the fall. Construction will begin in the spring.

We are now accepting applica-tions for family ownership. We are now accepting construction materials needed for the home. Please contact our office at (970) 641-1245 or email us at gunnisonvalleyhabitat@gun-nison.com.

Without community donations of materials and time, we could not build affordable homes for the families we serve. We appreciate the support we received from both ends of our beautiful valley. Thank you!

Sincerely,Julie RobinsonAdministrative Director

The Marshals responded to 179 calls for service and opened eight new cases.

8/26/13, The Marshal was called to assist a FedEx delivery person who was trapped by a vicious dog. The owner was con-tacted to put the dog inside.

8/27/13, A restaurant patron was warned for her hitched-up dog causing a sidewalk traffic jam on Elk Avenue.

8/28/13, A report was filed for a fender-bender on Elk Av-enue.

8/29/13, A Marshal respond-ed to a local business for a cold hit and run.

A dog bit a person, and a vi-cious dog ticket was issued to the owner of the dog.

A noise complaint brought a Marshal to a Belleview Avenue address. The residents were

warned accordingly.A call was taken pertaining

to bicyclists riding at night with-out headlamps. The caller was concerned because the previous evening, she had two near-misses with bicyclists she could not see. Natural selection favors vehicles in this type of situation; please use a light when biking at night.

An out-of-state bad-check case was opened. Business owners, please be very cautious when accept-ing checks, particularly ones from out of state. Credit cards and cash are safer options for the merchant when taking payment. With any check, there’s always a chance it won’t clear, and by the time you find out, your merchandise could be long gone.

8/30/13, A case was opened for unauthorized use of a social security number.

A super-sleuth Marshal tracked down a stolen vehicle. Fortunately, nothing had been stolen from the vehicle, and it seemed to have just been relo-cated.

A Marshal assisted EMS with a male who had fallen at Kochevar’s. He was transported to Gunnison by EMS.

A noise complaint was filed from the area of Rainbow Park. The event causing noise ended shortly thereafter.

8/31/13, Detective Daniels assisted a person in finding three missing bikes.

A Marshal came to the res-cue of a male stuck with a hand-cuff on one wrist. Apparently, he forgot to bring the extra keys he normally carries.

The suspect in a possible ve-hicle trespass fled on bike when it appeared he was interrupted by a Marshal.

9/01/13, Marshals assisted a female in jump-starting her vehicle.

Gunnison man dies in crashInvestigation ongoing

A Gunnison man died early Saturday, August 31 after he lost control of the vehicle he was driving on Highway 50 west of Monarch Pass.

According to Colorado State Patrol public in-formation officer Nate Reid, 20-year-old Nicanor Garcia of Gunnison was driving east on Highway

50 at 4 a.m. near mile marker 180 when his pick-up truck crossed into and over the westbound lane.

Reid said an investigation revealed Garcia at-tempted to correct before the vehicle rotated clock-wise and then began to roll. Garcia was pronounced dead at the scene. Reid said Garcia was wearing his seatbelt and alcohol was not being considered as a factor in the accident. An investigation is ongoing.

Danica announces run for Town CouncilDear Mark:

I would like to officially announce my candidacy for Town Council and introduce myself to those in the community who don’t know me and aren’t familiar with my values. My newly married name is Danica Ramgoolam but I was formerly Danica Ayraud and I grew up in this wonderful community.

I love this community with all my heart and feel that I can represent the values that all of us share. As a Red Lady I don’t think that it is a secret that one of the first things on my list is to find a permanent solution to the Mt. Emmons mine issue. I also own a business on Elk Ave. and understand the struggles

and rewards that go along with representing our community to visitors, serving local needs, and working responsibly with our town government. I feel I can represent the business community while still keeping the environment and the char-acter of town at the forefront of the discussion. Crested Butte is a beautiful and special place and I believe in preserving this community and maintaining its unique qualities.

From growing up here and now thinking about starting a family here I can also understand what it means to be a young fam-ily in Crested Butte. It is a strug-gle to live here but also a blessing and I think young families know

this better than anyone. Crested Butte is a great place to grow up and I plan to make sure it continues to be a great place for the future children of this com-munity. There are also no women on the council currently and no retail business owners. As both of these, I hope to bring some balance to the council.

There are many amazing people in this community willing to serve on council who want their voices heard. It is an honor to run with the other candidates and I know we can all do what is best for Crested Butte, no matter who is elected.

Sincerely,Danica (Ayraud) Ramgoolam

“I wouldn’t have a problem with committing to the engineer-ing right now,” said Swenson. “But committing three to four years out on $5 million when we don’t have a good plan is a little scary to me. With the work it requires each year, Cottonwood costs us a ton of mon-ey annually, but it’s not $5 million.”

Gunnison County Public Works director Marlene Crosby

said she would love it if the county were to provide its share of funding for the planning stages of the proj-ect. Even if the full project were not completed, having the plan would allow the county to work on Cot-tonwood in a piecemeal fashion, she said.

“If the planning and assess-ment were done, it would not be wasted because we could pick that up and use some of those opportu-nities,” said Crosby.

The discussion about improv-ing and paving Cottonwood Pass began nearly 40 years ago, and has been regularly brought before the public, last receiving serious con-sideration in 1994. The current plan calls for the widening of the road to 22 feet from its current 16 feet, the creation of several pull-outs, the in-stallation of guard rails and paving the road. A decision about paying for the engineering of the project must be made by October 1

“Younger males are just not dominant and maybe can’t establish or maintain a territory, so if they get booted out they’ll go elsewhere,” Wenum said.

Wenum said moose have been introduced at various times and places throughout the state since the late 1970s, in part, because as the Fentimans found out, they’re exciting to see.

State wildlife managers also recognize that moose are a unique game animal and at one point, before Eu-ropean settlement took hold in the west, moose were native to the mountains of Colorado. As a result, rein-troduction efforts have taken place or moved into areas on all sides of the Gunnison Valley and as close as the upper Rio Grande drainage near Creede.

Less than a decade ago, more moose were rein-troduced onto the Grand Mesa; the Taylor Park moose have been established for some time. With Crested Butte and the Gunnison Valley lying between the growing populations, Wenum expects to hear more about moose sightings.

He wants people to understand that they’re big, territorial animals and can be dangerous if they feel threatened. A mother moose with calves can be just as dangerous in June, July and even into August, as a male moose during the rut, in September and October, Wenum said.

But when they’re a safe distance away, or on the other side of your bedroom window, moose are a lot of fun to see.

“Because they are a big charismatic animal, word will spread really quickly about a sighting, especially in an area that doesn’t typically get them,” he said. “People love to see moose.”

The Gunnison Conserva-tion District has helped secure funds for wildlife habitat and ecosystem improvement proj-ects in the Gunnison Basin.

These projects will include gulley and wet meadow resto-ration techniques that restore unstable and degraded sites.

The Conservation Dis-trict and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will encourage the use of grade stabilization structures

that have been designed and documented by Bill Zeedyk, a restoration expert and co-author of Let the Water do the Work: Induced Meandering and Evolving Methods for Restoring Incised Channels.

Funding will also fa-cilitate the implementation of other beneficial practices that coincide with restoration projects such as brush mow-ing, fencing, planting, water development and more, as

appropriate. The Conservation District

is currently looking for land-owners who are interested in signing up for these projects. Funding has been secured solely for the Gunnison Basin. If you have interest in improv-ing wildlife habitat and/or enhancing rangeland ecosys-tems on your property, please contact Liz With at elizabeth.with@co.usda.gov or call (970) 642-4463.

When asked by councilperson Jim Schmidt why the proponents didn’t use town-owned land set aside for affordable housing projects, Gunnison Valley Regional Housing Authority Executive Director Karl Fulmer ex-plained that a key to the project was obtaining tax cred-its.

“That is a very competitive process,” he said. “We hope to get close to $3.7 million in tax credits. There are certain criteria the awarding agency looks for. The prox-imity to schools, public transit and groceries all count. This site wills score very high in that regard. Plus they want to see a project that’s ready to go and there isn’t in-frastructure over there yet.”

“This building would be odd over in Paradise Park because of its size,” added Coburn.

“One thing I like is that it takes non-deed restricted lots for affordable housing and preserves deed restricted lots for the future,” said mayor Aaron Huckstep.

Coburn said no real design details have been planned but on initial “test-fit” sketches, it seems that the building fits but would be short some required parking. Thirty-eight parking spots could be drawn into the plan on the site instead of the currently required 44. Some zon-ing revisions would also have to be made by the town since the proposed facility sits on five T-zone and parts of five B-2 commercial lots.

Coburn said there are still plenty of other things to work out on the proposal such as snow storage, set-backs and storage for things like bikes and kayaks. But he wants to enter the Board of Zoning and Architectural Re-view (BOZAR) process next month and begin the series of meetings needed to accommodate the process. With an aggressive approach, he would expect to see town ap-proval in early 2014. The submission deadline to obtain tax credits is March 3 for the first of two opportunities next year.

Coburn and Fulmer said dogs would be allowed but they would be permitted with restrictions included in good lease agreements and overseen by good manage-ment. They hope to build the project to LEED (Leader-ship in Energy and Environmental Design) standards but probably not pay the $20,000 to $30,000 to get the official LEED plaque.

Fulmer said the project is geared to those making 60-percent or less of the median income in the county. For

a single person, that is about $28,900. If they started mak-ing more, they might be asked to move out of the cheap accommodations. “It is meant as a starter project,” Ful-mer said. “There is a real need for housing those in that income level so once a person starts making more money, hopefully they’ll be able to move on to something else.”

Responding to a concern voiced by councilperson Glenn Michel, he said that the rental units wouldn’t be expected to compete with current rentals on the free mar-ket. “Because of the pricing it won’t compete directly with free market units. It might draw some people away but I just don’t see these directly competing,” he said. “The demand is so high the free market shouldn’t see a ding. We’re estimating there is six times the demand of the sup-ply we are building.”

Fulmer admitted it would not be cheap to start the process. In fact, he estimated about $200,000 would be needed for predevelopment costs. He asked the town of Crested Butte to pony up $65,000 of that. The council will discuss the request at its next meeting.

Other partners in the project with the Housing Au-thority would be Housing Resources of Western Colo-rado out of Grand Junction that has experience in the tax credit arena. Snavely Group out of Cleveland is consult-ing on the project and first originated the idea and pur-sued the property site. Each of those three entities would be expected to garner at least $200,000 from the project. Coburn would design and be the general contractor on the project.

Fulmer made it clear that if the idea was rejected for the tax credits, the town would likely not get back any of the original $65,000. He admitted that just one in four projects are awarded tax credits on the first try “but we have some things in our favor. We have an extremely strong team and strong application.”

The council pointed out that while the developers were counting a waiver of $360,000 in town tap fees as a grant, traditionally the council has paid those fees from other town funds into the water and sewer fund.

The project, if approved would take about a year to construct so it could open to renters by the summer of 2015 in the best case scenario.

“It is potentially a big opportunity,” summarized Fulmer. “We hope the council will seriously consider it.”

They will debate the request for funds at the next meeting on September 16.

RE1J school district cancels electionTwo candidates for two

seats[ by Seth menSing ]

With just enough school board candidates to fill the two seats opening up in November, the Gunnison Water-shed School District is withdrawing from the upcoming election. Unless either candidate’s petition is disquali-fied or someone petitions to become a write-in candidate, Marilyn Krill will represent areas roughly north of Round Mountain on the school board and Courtney Fullmer is circulating a petition to represent areas south of that line.

At a special meeting on Monday, August 26, the board passed a resolu-tion stating that without the need for an election to decide who will be re-placing outgoing board president Jim Perkins and Crested Butte representa-

tive Lee Olesen, it wasn’t worth the expense of participating on this year’s ballot, even with two lingering ques-tions that could go to voters.

When it looked as if there might be enough interest from the commu-nity in the available board seats to warrant the $20,000 to $25,000 cost of a place on the November ballot, the board considered asking the public to extend school board term limits or do away with them altogether. That would preserve a place on the board for willing participants at a time when interest in running for the school board is often limited to just a few people.

Superintendent Doug Tredway told the board that the issue of term limits might be taken care of at the state level in the coming year. He also said if it did come down to a vote, the board should prepare for a hard cam-paign, as the school’s attorney warned the issue of term limits wasn’t a sure

thing. “[The Colorado Association of

School Boards] is working on a resolu-tion that would exempt school boards from two-term limits and allow the districts to set the limit,” Tredway said. “It may be prudent just to let them go ahead and change that.”

In the event that the district didn’t need to participate in the election, the board also considered asking vot-ers to allow for an adjustment to the boundaries governing school board representation to account for Crested Butte Community School’s growing population.

But voters won’t see either ques-tion this year. The board voted unani-mously to approve a resolution with-drawing from the election that will take affect September 3, the deadline for write-in candidates to submit a pe-tition to run for office with the county elections office.

Old public works building to be removed[ by aimee eaton ]

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) award-ed the Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (GUC) $1 million this month to make improvements and in-crease the safety of the airport.

GUC applied for, and received, the grant funding in order to purchase a parcel of county-owned land that cur-rently houses the old public works building, said Gun-nison County manager Matthew Birnie.

“The purchase has been in the works for quite some time,” said Birnie. “It was one of the reasons behind mov-ing the public works offices to the new location.”

According to GUC manager Rick Lamport, the old public works facility, which is located near the airport’s runway, infringes upon the airspace of incoming and out-

going flights, creating a safety hazard. “Federal regulations require there to be no structures

coming into the air space,” said Lamport, “and the south-ern edges of the buildings do penetrate the area. By pur-chasing the land from the county, we will be able to pro-tect the air space, and keep it clear for air navigation.”

Requirements tied to the funding mandate that the public works structures be removed within the next two to three years, and Lamport said GUC will make deci-sions about what to do with the property after the struc-tures come down at next year’s master planning meet-ing.

After the grant announcement was made, Colorado senator Mark Udall said, “Colorado’s regional airports create critical connections between Main Street business-es and the broader world. I look forward to following how these improvements and upgrades will help make our airports safer and more efficient.”

Trail connecting Crested Butte and Carbondale receives funding

Community grant applications now available

Bridge to be built over Anthracite Creek[ By Aimee eAton ]

The Crested Butte to Carbondale connecting trail came one step closer to reality this week as Gunnison County secured a grant agreement for $108,000 to pay for the construction of a bridge over Anthracite Creek.

In the works for several years, the trail will span more than 70 miles between the two moun-tain towns and will also serve as a connecting trail to other regional trails. As of October 2012, 26 miles of the trail had been completed, and further work hinged on the bridge construction.

As part of the application for the grant, Gunni-son County Public Works director Marlene Crosby wrote, “This phase of the project is critical for fu-ture development of the trail and to continue con-necting the trail from Crested Butte to Carbondale. It also moves recreationalists off County Road 12

(Kebler Pass) and bypasses numerous switchbacks on the county road which are a safety concern due to potential conflicts between vehicles and recre-ationists.”

The State of Colorado, the Department of Nat-ural Resources and the Division of Parks and Wild-life are providing the grant in agreement with the Gunnison County Trails Commission. The Trails Commission provided $32,000 as part of a match and in-kind contributions.

When completed the trail will be usable by hikers, equestrians, mountain bikers, and non-motorized recreationalists and will follow the West Elk Scenic and Historic Byway.

“This is a very cool thing,” said Gunnison County Commissioner Paula Swenson. “Receiving funding for the bridge construction is a huge step toward ensuring trail connectivity and the comple-tion of the project.”

Construction on the bridge will take place next summer.

Sales tax up but Open Space fund down

The second quarter of the year looks mostly healthy for the town from a financial perspec-tive. Most revenues so far this year are higher than anticipat-ed—due to more sales tax being collected, more tap fees coming in and more construction permits being issued. One area where revenues are down is the real estate transfer tax (RETT) that helps fund open space and some capital projects. Town finance director Lois Rozman expects to make the budget, but warned the council that the RETT funds are well below where they were just a few years ago.

Town will consider another conservation easement

The council has set for pub-lic hearing the acceptance of an open space conservation ease-ment. The Crested Butte Land Trust has asked the town to hold

the conservation easement. The easement is for a parcel of land in the Slate River Valley on the west side of Smith Hill and adjacent to the town-owned Kochevar prop-erty. The council has pledged $200,000 to help purchase that property.

HCCA says higher bond needed for mine facility

High Country Citizens Alli-ance water director Jennifer Bock updated the council on some local water issues. She said one thing the environmental organization is pushing for is a higher bond on the Mt. Emmons Waste Water Treatment Plant. The Forest Ser-vice currently mandates the op-erator, U.S. Energy, post a $1,000 bond in case of major accidents. Bock said now that the company has a Plan of Operations to start mining, the bond should cover at least a year’s worth of operation, which would be more than $1 million. Bock said HCCA has cir-

culated a letter of support to raise the bond among local businesses and more than 40 have signed it.

Insurance attorney tells council to leave the staff alone

The general counsel for the town’s insurance agency, CIRSA, gave a two-hour presentation to the council about personal liabil-ity issues and reminders of how to stay within the boundaries of the job of an elected official. She basically told the council to not interfere with staff duties and to let the people hired to work for the town do their jobs.

Bids awarded for new path and historical building

The council approved bids for construction work on the De-pot building and for some work on a wetlands boardwalk that will be part of the recreation path extension.

The Town of Crested Butte is now accepting community grant applications for 2014 grant cycle. Applications may be picked up at Town Hall, 507 Maroon Ave., Crested Butte, or on the town’s web-

site at www.townofcrestedbutte.com. Applications are due back by 5 p.m. on Friday, September 13, 2013. For questions, call Town of Crested Butte Finance Department at 349-5338.

UNDER CoNTRACT

inotok is an op-portunity to revel in something many have begun to loose—community, and a connection to

the natural rhythms that surround us. It is a chance to come together, to feast and dance and costume and cel-ebrate each other, to tell stories and to sing songs.

Vinotok has morphed over the years. Today we present the mum-ming and street theatre with an of-ficial Vinotok Theatre Troupe. There are myriad ways you can participate in Vinotok—there is a place for everyone and all are welcome. Some things you might need a little warn-ing on to get prepared. Here’s how to get involved in making this festival truly a community event.

Attend the full week of eventsThere’s way more to Vinotok

than just the bonfire on Saturday, September 21. Begin the week with the Celebration of the Harvest Moth-er followed by a free polka party on Sunday, September 15; a Community Harvest with Mountain Roots on Monday, September 16; A “Myth, Meaning and Ritual” workshop on Tuesday, September 17; and Lisa Blunk spinning yarns around the pot-bellied stove of the museum on Wednesday, September 18 before we hit the wild and raucous Liar’s Night on Thursday, September 19.

Bring your music, poetry and stories

Liar’s Night on Thursday, Sep-tember 19 is the time for tall tales and whoppers. But if you write poetry, short stories, essays, rants or songs or compose spoken word, we invite you to share your creativity at the Community Feast on Friday night, September 20, around the fire. At this time we also invite musicians of all kinds to bring their instruments for community jam sessions.

Come eat togetherThe Community Feast on

Friday, September 20 is generously prepared by Mountain Oven. That means locally grown, organic food for the feast—fresh garden salad, artisanal sourdough breads, roasted root vegetables, assorted fermented vegetables, cider-braised beef and cabbage, pinto bean and heirloom tomato chili, fresh fruit cobbler. Mon-tanya’s will provide seasonal drinks in a cash bar.

Food does sell out. Advance tickets are being sold for $20 at Rumors, Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum and the Crested Butte Farmer’s Market. Tickets at the door are $25, children under 12 $10.

You must bring your own plate, bowl, cup and eating utensils. In order to accomplish our zero-waste goal no eating tools will be provided.

Come also to make head wreaths and hear the written and musical talents of our neighbors around the fire.

Handfasting / Re-Commitment Ceremony

If you would like to celebrate your union in co-partnering, re-com-mitment to relationship, to family, to co-parenting or commitment for the

future, please join Marcie Telander, MA, REAT, D Divinity, for a shared Handfasting in the ancient Euro-pean, Celtic and Scandinavian tradi-tion. Marcie is an ordained Officiant of Celebration from several spiritual traditions. Handfasting occurs just before the Community Feast. For further information and to discuss your needs / ideas please call Marcie at 349-6509.

ChildrenChildren are welcome at

Vinotok activities. Celebration of the Harvest Mother at the Farmer’s Market on Sunday, Storytelling with Lisa Blunk on Wednesday at the Mountain Heritage Museum, the Community Feast at the Depot on Friday, and Vinotok Day are all good kid opportunities.

Children are invited to be Faeries and Straw Boys on the stage with the Harvest Mother during the street theatre production in front of the Eldo on Saturday. Dress your child up in a costume of the times and perch them on stage around the Harvest Mother for the show. We will provide adult parent supervisors who will be on the stage with the children. You must be near the stage during the production and able to escort your child to the bonfire. Once at the bonfire, there will be a safe float between the fire barricades and the chamber of commerce building for all Faeries and Straw Boys to sit with the Harvest Mother.

GrumpsIn Slovenian traditions, effigies

were burned on the boss man’s lawn as a rib. These effigies have morphed into the Grump, a symbol of what we want to release from the previous year—what has blocked us. It is giv-ing to the flames our grievances, to make room for what we want in the new year.

Grump boxes will be found by September 8 at Camp 4–Crested Butte, Mountain Earth, Eldo, Buckaroo Beanery, the Last Steep, the Crested Butte post office, Acme Liquors, Mountain Spirits, Brick Oven, Crested Butte South Gen-eral Store, Camp 4-Crested Butte South, the Talk, Kochevar’s, Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum, Rumors, Crested Butte Farmer’s Market, the Bacchanale, Hard Rock Library, Clarks, True Value and the

Gas Café. Grump boxes will be col-lected Friday, September 20.

Nominate a Green ManThe word on the Green Man is

still out—nominate who you think is the best in the land to represent the male energy of nature and the promise of spring returning. Think of some virile, lusty hottie of town who treats his women well.

Go to dinnerIf you are not part of the mum-

ming crew one of the best ways to experience it is to be in a restaurant from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. The Vinotok Theatre Troupe will come into restaurants on Elk Avenue from the East Side Bistro to Koche-var’s (also including The Gourmet Noodle, the Dogwood and Slogar’s). See the production. If you’re really feeling the spirit, offer the Troupe wine and bread from your table, as is the ancient tradition.

Wear a costume, make a head wreath, be in the streets

Community members are encouraged to dress in Medieval / Renaissance attire for any Vinotok event. Forest creatures and pan descendants also welcome. This is especially true for Liar’s Night, the Community Feast and Vinotok Day. Make a head wreath from natural materials you find on a nice long walk in the fall woods. You may also make your own head wreath at the Vinotok Renaissance Booth at the Farmer’s Market on Sunday (where there will also be a body art booth available), and at the Community Feast on Friday. Grab a poet’s shirt, lace up your corset, make a jester’s hat.

On Vinotok Day as the mum-mers make their way through the restaurants, they will also be dancing in the streets. Dress up and meet them in the streets to dance to the live drums. While only the Vinotok Theatre Troupe will be mumming the restaurants, the streets should be full of community members dancing in costume.

Vinotok is for everyone. We’ll see you in the streets.

Crested Butte Mountain Resort has put a lot of focus towards their mountain biking terrain since 2009. The Evolution Bike Park is becoming one of the best bike parks in Colorado. With 18 trails covering 25 miles, the riding opportunities continue to grow and evolve into an awesome network of trails.

To add to the excitement around the bike park, the resort has teamed up with Monster Energy and Budweiser to elevate the annual Gravity Slave Downhill Mountain Bike Race—now a pure DH format down the trail Avery, with a $2,000 cash purse for the winners of the Open Pro Class.

The event is designed to coincide with Mt. Crested Butte’s annual Chili & Beer Festival the weekend of September 7-8, 2013. Racers can ride the Evolution Bike Park on Friday evening for the weekly Free Twilight Ride from 4 to 7 p.m. and then all day on Saturday with a $15 racer ticket, while the Chili & Beer Festival takes place in the base area of the resort.

Qualifying for the pro category will also take place on Saturday afternoon. The racing begins on Sunday morning, with course training from 8:30 to 10 a.m. and a 10:30 a.m. race start time.

Registration is now available online at www.skicb.com/mygroup with the package code: gravityslave2013. The $50 registration fee includes a race day ticket for Sunday, September 8 and a chance to win a raffl e prize from sponsors at the awards party following the race.

Men and women riders can sign up for the Open Pro category or as an Amateur racer, with the following age classes: 12 and under, 13-18, 19-29, 30-49, and 50+, where prizes will be given to the top three in each category.

Special racer lodging rates start at $99 per night, plus a resort fee and taxes, and can be reserved by calling 800-810-7669.

“DH racing has been an important part of the history of riding in Crested Butte and has helped guide the development of the Evolution Bike Park over the past fi ve years,” explains Christian Robertson, Evolution Bike Park man-ager. “Avery is a really fun track that has proven to be a test for racers of all abilities. With some new features at the bottom it will again show-case the best riders on race day. September is such a great time of year to be riding in Crested Butte and we look forward to seeing racers from around the region pinning it top to bottom.”

EuforquEstra and Brian Jordan Bandsaturday, september 7 at the Chili and Beer festival, 2:30 p.m., $30

Originally from Iowa City, IA, Eufórquestra (pronounced: yoo • FOHR • keh • struh, think Euphoria+Orchestra) relocated to Fort Col-lins, Colorado in August 2008 and has made a splash on the Colorado music scene with a relentless tour schedule and a live show that leaves feet tired and hearts and minds happy. The band is known for their diverse sound and eclectic repertoire, covering a number of traditional and progressive sounds ranging from (but not limited to) reggae, dub, afrobeat and samba to ska, highlife, funk and jazz.

Leading up to now, Brian Jordan spent 12 years as guitarist with the band, “Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe.” Being a native of Southern

California, musician/songwriter/composer, Jordan delivers his sultry sound to audiences around the world with a unique flair.

Lisa MariE PrEsLEysaturday, september 7 at the Center for the arts, 8 p.m., $25

Lisa Marie Presley reclaims her roots on her new album, Storm and Grace, showcasing her songwriting talent and smoldering alto voice. A marked departure from her previous albums, Storm and Grace is more stripped-down and naked, both musically and lyrically. The album shines with a rootsy golden tone, yet remains an unflinch-ingly honest piece of work from Presley, who, though known for her tough frankness, approaches these songs with a tender, consol-ing thread. Honest, raw, unaffected and soulful, Presley emerges as a Southern American folk music artist of great value. “I’m a music lover and I feel that music is so important in the world,” she says, “That’s what drives me—pouring your heart and soul into some-thing and hoping that it can change someone’s life in some way.”

Vinotok volunteers still needed

Se� ing the table for Six Points at Garlic Mike’s

MOPS meeting kick-o�

Mehall presents Climbing Out of Bed at WSCU

[ BY MOLLY MURFEE ]

There are still plenty of ways to get involved with Vinotok.

We have solidifi ed most of our cast but do still need commit-ted Mood Makers. Mood Makers are in costume and mum in the streets with the Vinotok Theatre Troupe, but not in the restaurants. Your vital role is to help us set a vibrant mood on the street of cel-ebration and dancing and to pull in your observing neighbors and community members. Drummers, stilt walkers, forest creatures and belly dancers will be on the street throughout the mumming to help bring the spirit alive.

The Crested Butte Dance Collective is especially looking

for belly dancers, African dancers, stilters and other dancers inter-ested in performing both at the Harvest Mother Celebration Sun-day, September 15 and at Vinotok Night on Saturday, September 21.

We also need general (non-cast) volunteers to help Vinotok be a zero-waste festival; Feastivar-ians to help set up and serve for the feast; folks to gather greenery for head wreaths and decorations; fi rewood gatherers; and folks to help us work some of our doors.

Special volunteer requests are: carpenters, artists (who love skin as their medium, especially in henna), and skilled drummers and fi re art performers.

We need pregnant women and past Harvest Mothers and

Harvest Babies to participate in the Celebration of the Harvest Mother on Sunday, September 15. We need musicians and poets at the Community Feast, and couples for the Handfasting Cer-emony, both on Friday, September 20.

Please know that out of respect for our restaurant and pub owners, only offi cial members of the Vinotok Theatre Troupe are al-lowed to mum inside these estab-lishments. Disrespectful people will not be tolerated during the mumming or around the fi re.

Come be a part! Contact Molly Murfee at 349-0947 or mmurfee.aei@usa.net to volunteer for any of these positions or for more information.

“It’s time to set the table!”—for Six Points, that is, at the “Setting the Table for Six Points” fund-raiser on Sunday, September 8 at Garlic Mike’s Restaurant.

Artists from the valley have found a variety of unique treasures in the Six Points Thrift Store, which they are “upcycling” to create original, dra-matic table décor that will be sold via live auction.

All of the tables will be judged by celebrity judges Hap Channell, Annie Starr and Al Caniff, with prize money awarded to the winning artists.

The event will also include a gourmet meal prepared by Michael Busse and his staff, libations, and dancing to Funky Bob, along with the live auction by Matt Robbins, auctioneer. A selection of silent auction and raffl e items donated by area businesses will also be available for bidding. All proceeds from the event will benefi t Six Points’ construction of its new facility.

“I am truly amazed at the incredible pieces the artists are creating for their tables,” said Sue Uer-ling, executive director of Six Points. “For instance, one artist has taken a bunch of old wooden chairs that originally had wicker backs and fabric seats and has crafted new wooden backs and seats and turned them into beautiful new chairs that you just couldn’t go out and buy somewhere.”

Uerling explained that the artists were asked to try to come up with at least 75 percent of their table

décor by using donated merchandise to the Six Points Thrift Store. “Not only are artists painting china and making centerpieces from donated vases and other goodies, but some are even making their tables themselves from donated merchandise.”

Uerling said the purpose of the event is really two-fold. “While our primary goal is to raise funds to help us get our new facility fully enclosed by winter, the event is also a fun way to showcase how donated merchandise in our Thrift Store can be used to create unique pieces for the home.”

Uerling said revenues from the Thrift Store support nearly 36 percent of their programming budget for the developmentally disabled adults served by Six Points.

Table artists for the event include Traci Busse, Barb Shelton, Enid Holden, Beth Marcue, Leia Mor-rison, Jane Tunnadine, Lucille Lucas, Linda Wilson, Teresa Hoots, Kristen Niemeyer, Kirsten Dickey, Priscilla Swanson, Lance and Andie Ruggera and Erin Volkoun and some of her art students from Gunnison High School.

Tickets are available for purchase from the art-ists, Six Points and Garlic Mike’s. Seating is limited.

Six Points provides education, training, assis-tance and support to all developmentally disabled adults and their families in Gunnison and Hinsdale Counties. For more information, please call Six Points at 641-3081.

Gunnison Mothers of Preschoolers—MOPS—will kick off their year on September 11 from 9 to 11 a.m. at Trinity Baptist Church, 523 N Pine Street, Gunnison.

The group will meet the second and fourth Wednesday of the month. All moms with children up to fi ve years old are invited to attend. For more information contact Desha Futrell (970) 901-4223 or Kimberly Case at (970) 765-6348.

Luke Mehall, Western state Colorado University graduate and former Gunnison Valley resident, is returning to town on Thursday, September 5. He’ll appear at 7 p.m. at the University Center, Western State Colorado University, to read essays from his new book, Climbing Out of Bed, and share photos from his climb-ing experiences around Gunnison and beyond.

Climbing Out of Bed is a collec-tion of rock climbing and moun-tain town stories, written over the last 13 years.

The muses of Mehall’s pieces are the people who make up the rock climbing and mountain town culture. Originally hailing from Illinois, Mehall moved to Gunnison 1999 to attend Western State College, now WSCU. He describes the experience as being a lost soul who fl oated to the mountains, and then discovered his true self. Many of the stories

in Climbing Out of Bed are coming of age tales, especially when the author embarks into the unknown of the rock-climbing world.

There are 25 pieces in Climb-ing Out of Bed, and topics for essays include: friendship, hitch-hiking, couch surfi ng, buildering (climbing buildings), road trip-ping, dumpster diving, extended camping experiences, dirtbag living, love, loss, wanderlust, and Zen dishwashing

Mehall now resides in Duran-go, Colo., where he is a freelance writer. He is also the publisher of The Climbing Zine, an indepen-dent rock climbing publication. His work has been published in Crested Butte Magazine, Rock and Ice, Climbing, Mountain Gazette, foxsports.com, and Patagonia’s blog, The Cleanest Line. He also worked at WSCU for three years as the assistant director of public relations and communications.

George Sibley, author of

Dragons in Paradise and senior correspondent to the Mountain Gazette, says Mehall’s writing makes him think of Jack Kerouac on a good day. “I don’t know anyone who writes with more en-thusiasm, joy and honesty about a life that ranges from pearl diving in restaurant kitchen sinks all winter, to climbing the big walls and spires of North America all summer and fall,” Sibley says.

The print version of Climb-ing Out of Bed was released on April 13 and is available through Benighted Publications, which also publishes The Climbing Zine. Find the book at: https://www.createspace.com/411325

Climbing Out of Bed is also available as an e-book on Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/Climbing-Out-of-Bed-ebook/dp/B008H3WFHS. To check out more writing from Mehall, visit www.lukemehall.blogspot.com or www.climbingzine.com.

18 | September 6, 2013 Crested Butte NewsWEEKLY

Hard to believe the short summer has cruised by once again and although the days are still holding tight to the delightful green there’s more than a hint of autumn in the air. You might glimpse splotchy patches of gold in the trees and the nights are getting consistently a bit more chilly...did someone say more chili?

Yes, perfect chili weather and the promise of beer to go with it at the 14th consecutive Crested Butte Beer & Chili Festival this Saturday, September 7, starting at noon.

You can grab early bird tickets for $25 until the day of the event, which will enter you in a raffle that gets the winner a year of beer.

And best of all, you can drink your Festival brews to the cranking sounds of Euforquestra and Brian Jordan. You don’t have to be 21 to enter and scarf down chili, kids are welcome, and families are encouraged to be responsible.

Brews...you can be thankful for ancient providence that in a harsher world of long ago, fermentation was ac-cidentally stumbled upon, or at least the human creature was led to understand its divine purpose. The roots of brewing are traced back to ancient Africa, Egypt and Sumeria, with the oldest proven brew history dating back 6,000 years to the Sumerians. Beer has been called liquid bread because ancient pictograms show bread being baked, then crumbled into water to make a mash, and that mash made a heavenly elixir that made people quite happy. So you can thank the ancient Sumerians for your daily brewski.

However, after their empire collapsed, the Babylo-nians ruled Mesopotamia and furthered the art of beer to include about 20 different types of brews, which they exported all the way to Egypt. The Babylonian King, Hammurabi, even decided to decree a law about beer consumption—that is, he enacted a minimum daily beer ration. Depending on your social standing, you’d get doled out a specific amount. For example, if you were a mere laborer, you’d be able to down about two liters, while administrators and high priests were given five liters daily. Hardly seems fair that a priest or administra-tor trumps the thirst of a hard worker.

The Egyptians carried on the tradition of brewing using unbaked bread dough, and they added dates, which sweetened the taste considerably and was light years ahead of the normally bitter batches. The Egyptian scribes even created a new hieroglyph for “brewer.”

Later, those haughty Romans would consider beer to be the drink of barbarians but eventually brewing fell into the jurisdiction of the Roman church, when Chris-tian abbeys refined the process even more.

The Germans came up with a beer purity law that stated only four ingredients could be used to brew: water, malted barley, malted wheat and hops. Yeast, as part of the brewing process, was a major ingredient so they didn’t bother to list it. Hops was originally used as a preservative and brewing couldn’t be done in the warm months of the year because the wild yeasts of summertime would sour the beer. So colder months were reserved for beer making and luckily, they had the natural storage and refrigeration of caves in the Alps, which mysteriously gave the brew a cleaner taste.

The brewers just didn’t know why that worked but better living through the understanding of modern chemis-try opened our understanding to the fact that through the cold fermentation process the bacteria responsible for clouding and souring beer was unable to thrive, so you have better beer.

Gotta love science.The good news is that all 20 brew-

ers serving up their delicious Pale Ale, Amber, Brown Ale, Dark Ale, Porter, Stout, Light Lager, Dark Lager, Wheat Beer, Specialty Beer, Strong Beer, Bel-

gians, Fruit, Vegetable, and even Spice Beer know their chemistry well.

The bottom line is, you don’t have to. All you have to know is how to hang on to your

glass as you forage along from beer tent to beer tent. It’s like chemistry through osmosis.

Maybe now’s a good time to suggest you prearrange a designated driver or be sure to use one of the fabulous public transportation systems like the free Mountain Express shuttles, or the RTA, or the safe ride because you don’t want to have to deal with the consequences of a DUI after such a joyous day.

Beer is served from noon to 4 p.m. and be sure to vote in the People’s Choice category for the brew that makes you do your happy dance.

But wait—there’s chili, too! As far as the origins of the fiery or mild cauldron of sustenance, there are many legends and stories about where chili came from but only one thing is certain... it did not originate in Mexico. It’s been said that chili was originally a peasant dish to make the meat go further by simmering it into a stew.

Regardless, hone your inner peasant and make sure you hang onto your bowl so you can wander through the various tables of scrumptious concoctions, which will be judged and awards announced at the end of the day.

There’s a People’s Choice category for chili as well so vote on what makes your belly smile.

You should also be aware that chili serving starts at noon and by 2 p.m. it’s usually inhaled and gone.

Don’t want beer with your chili? Get yourself, or treat your designated driver to, a “chili only” pass for $15.

Such an occasion of all-round imbibition calls for excellent live music. Eufórquestra (say yoo-FOHR-keh-struh), relocated to Fort Collins from Iowa City a few years back to foster their rhythmic blend of Afrobeat, Reggae, Funk, Soukous, Soca, and Dub. In other words, they’ll get your booty shakin’.

Also on the dance roster is Brian Jordan, who spent 12 years as guitarist with the beloved Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe. Brian has also shared the stage and swapped licks with many luminaries such as James Brown, Dave Mathews, Lenny Kravitz, Bob Weir, The Allman Broth-ers Band, Fred Wesley, and Dr. Lonnie Smith. His sound is said to recall elements of classic to modern American musical flavors, world music consciousness, and 100 percent soul.

So, put on yer dancin’ shoes and an appetite for wonderful homemade chili and real beer and hop a free shuttle up to 9,375 feet at the base of the mountain at CBMR’s Red Lady Stage for a fine pre-autumnal Saturday afternoon.

Long-time local resident Barbara Mason will be the third speaker at the Summer Speaker Series at the Crested Butte Moun-tain Heritage Museum, appearing on Thursday, September 5 at 7:30 p.m. This event is free but dona-tions are always appreciated.

Her talk is called “Can Ya Dig It? Local Stone-Age Hunter-Gatherers Archaeology.” Mason holds bachelor of arts degrees in anthropology, communications and theatre from Western State Colorado University (WSCU), graduating summa cum laude. Her studies focused on the lifestyle of the Paleolithic and Archaic hunt-er-gatherer people who inhabited our mountain area thousands of years ago. Mason received an honorary award from the WSCU Westerners in Transition Depart-ment for non-traditional students in 2002.

In association with the Bureau of Land Management, forest and park services, and Native Ameri-can tribal representatives, Mason assisted in nominating “new” and previously unknown hunter-gath-erer sites to the National Historic Registry. She was awarded a grant from the Colorado Council of Pro-fessional Archaeologists (CCPA) to attend their Denver convention, featuring world-wide speakers and attendees.

She has been a member of the Hurst Chapter of the Colorado Ar-chaeology Society (CAS) and the Gunnison Valley Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revo-lution (DAR) for many years. You may recognize her as the friendly sales associate at the Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum.

For any questions or more information call the museum at 349-1880.

Author Pam Houston will speak at Old Rock Li-brary on Thursday, September 12 at 7 p.m.

The event is free, open to the public and spon-sored by the Read-ers in the Rockies.

Houston will talk about how she collects her experi-ences from the natural/physical world and shapes them into stories. She will read from her latest novel, Contents May Have Shifted, which has been described as “filled with heart-stopping prose and crackling observa-tions on a spiritual journey toward a life rich in love and freedom.”

You may recognize Hous-ton’s name from her earlier books, Cowboys Are My Weak-ness and Waltzing the Cat. Pam divides her time between her ranch in Colorado and the Uni-

versity of California at Davis, where she is director of the creative writing program.

For more information contact the Old Rock Library at 349-6535. Townie Books will have Houston’s Contents May Have Shifted for sale at the pre-sentation.

The Mountain Express Town Shuttle will increase service for a period of time on Saturday, September 7 to help people get to and from the Chili & Beer Festival in Mt. Crested Butte and keep the car at home.

Starting with the 10:55 a.m. departure from Old Town Hall and ending with the 5:40 p.m. departure from Mountaineer Square, the Town Shuttle will run every 20 minutes.

For the entire schedule or with questions, visit the website at www.mtnexp.org, or contact Mountain Express at (970) 349-5616.

The Old Rock Library and the Crested Butte South Property Owners Association have rescheduled the previously rained-out showing of Alice in Wonderland for Friday, September 6.

They’re kicking it up a notch by hosting a back to school Family Fun Night in the Crested Butte South park—rain or shine—including grilling out and playing in the park (bring some lawn games), and a bouncy house, so bring your appetites and warm layers for this outdoor movie night.

The fun begins at 6:30 p.m., and the movie will start at dusk. Call Dom at 349-1162, or Jen at 349-6535 for more information.

In a world where resources as basic as water and food are becoming increasingly scarce, Western State Colorado University is convening some of the greatest minds in the west to solve looming natural resource challenges that threaten our region.

WSCU is hosting the 24th annual Headwaters Conference September 20-21 in Gunnison. The theme of the conference, “Home/Land Security,” seeks to help solve fundamental problems that chal-lenge our own survival in the face of climate change, including:

How can we find secure ways of feeding each other and heating our homes?

What kind of security can we build into the land to sustain the homes and homelands of the head-waters of the West?

How might a more secure home and land in the Headwaters of the West help support security in places like the Indian Himala-

yas, which emit fewer pollutants than the United States but suffer the worst consequences of global carbon pollution?

“The Headwaters Conference will look with hope to the solutions and partnerships necessary to build-ing food, energy, cultural, economic, and ecological security in the face of environmental disturbance,” says Western State Colorado University environmental studies professor Dr. John Hausdoerffer. “An array of influential writers, community leaders, scientists, scholars, poets, builders, ranchers, cooks, farm-ers, musicians, teachers, activists, students and citizens will lead this conversation.”

Walter Echo Hawk will be the keynote speaker, who will share perspectives from his new book, In the Light of Justice: The Rise of Human Rights in Native America and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Echo Hawk is a prominent attorney who works for

Native American rights. He’s the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Kickapoo Tribe and was a staff attorney for the Native Ameri-can Rights Fund.

Western’s Headwaters Project is part of the university’s effort to serve the mountain valleys of this region as a resource and rallying point, as the region’s communi-ties attempt to both retain unique cultural identities and still thrive in a globalizing and homogenizing

world. The project reaches out into the region interactively through the annual Headwaters Conference every autumn.

This year’s conference includes panels on energy and food security and tours of food security efforts in Gunnison’s remote mountain valley and tours of a housing project using straw bale construction.

Registration for the Headwaters Conference is still open. To learn more, visit western.edu/headwaters.

Peak Trail will be closed this weekendDue to the Volunteers of Outdoor Colorado Trail workday this coming

weekend, the Peak Trail will be closed to all users this Saturday and Sunday. The Silver Queen lift will run from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily through

Sunday, but the trail to the summit will be closed for the weekend. Guests can hike out to Monument for incredible views and also check

Mullins’ music overfl ows with perfect rhymes, telling detail and underlying intimations. This is uncommonly literate stuff, striking in its insightfulness and compassion. Delivered by Mullins in his companionable baritone, as lived-in and textured as your favorite pair of faded jeans, amid the relent-less rhythms, churn-ing Hammond organ runs and swooping guitar lines, every line is absolutely spell binding, adding incrementally to his gripping intensity, grabbing the listener’s attention with both hands.

Piper GalleryJesse Blumenthal Artist Reception: Mon-

day, September 16, 5 to 7 p.m. FreeIn Jesse’s “New Works,” the clash of the nat-

ural represented within the inherently processed and human material creates an ironic tension in his pieces. Sculptural works in steel, stone, iron, and bronze are exhibited alongside bright, energetic paintings in spray paint, acrylic, mark-ers, and oil pastels. The works carry a whimsical tone with dark subject matter. Strongly contem-porary, the work offers another perspective on our natural environment and will serve as an excellent counterpoint to the old world feel of Vinotok! Show runs September 16-30.

Titans volleyball open season with Cripple Creek tourneyFive matches in one day

[ by Stan Cola ]

Heading into the opening weekend of play with an experienced team, hopes were high among the coaching staff that the Titans would finish the five-match tournament 5-0, or at least 4-1.

But as head coach Marla Covey admitted, “I like to set the bar high.”Still, even with an experienced team, first match of the season jitters were on

display against Elbert. With seven service errors in the first set, the Titans managed to play solid defense and smart offense to stay in the first set before finally losing 26-24. Junior setter Courtney Kopf changed the serving tide in the second set, serv-ing 13 of the 25 points. Kopf’s effort helped the rest of the team find their groove, with a 25-17 win to force a third and deciding set.

The third set was a back and forth battle. The Titans finally took charge with a crucial run near the end to win the first match of the season 15-11. Senior outside hitter Ali McGuire led the Titans with six kills, followed by senior middle hitter Suzanna Dumas with four kills.

Despite being scheduled to face Vanguard in the second match of the day, tournament officials tweaked the schedule and the Titans faced Cripple Creek in-stead. Striving to play at a higher level consistently rather than at the level of their opponent, the Titans started strong with senior Rosie Ewert served nine points in the first set including seven points in a row to take control of the set. The Titans worked to take advantage of the Pioneers providing multiple free balls, to practice running some of their offensive set plays and took the match in two sets 25-13 and 25-12.

The Kodiaks were the tallest team Crested Butte would match up against all day. Rather than fold to the Kodiaks’ impressive height, the Titans started the match with a powerful block on the Kodiak big middle hitter, which seemed to surprise the Kodiaks. The Kodiaks rolled over their opponents in their first two matches but the Titans’ solid defense kept the Kodiaks confused. While the Titans stepped up their level of play, putting together runs proved difficult. Strong defen-sive plays by both Dumas at the net with some key blocks and some strong digs by Rosie Ewert, Ali McGuire and Miki Olesen provided the fans with some great rallies. Despite the defensive efforts of the Titans, the Kodiaks proved too powerful in the end, beating Crested Butte in two straight sets 17-25, 19-25.

The Titans then took the court against the McClave Cardinals. The Cardinals come from the tough eastern plains where ball sports, not mountain sports, reign supreme. Titans battled with scrappy play but showed a lack of focus and could not seem to capitalize on the Cardinals’ mistakes. The Titans lost the lead on several occasions and dropped the first set 20-25.

Showing some resilience, junior Kaitlin Seifert stepped into the line-up to pro-vide some solid serving and passing. The Titans battled back to win the second set 25-22 forcing a third set, but Crested Butte succumbed to another bout of confusion as the Cardinals took the final set 9-15 to win the match.

In a fifth match in one-day tournament often the team that can demonstrate the most enthusiasm and energy can often find a way to win. After the loss to Mc-Clave, the Titans had five minutes to make some mental adjustments before taking the court against the South Park Burros. The Titans used smart serving by seniors Ali McGuire and Rosie Ewert and some strong net play by Suzanna Dumas and Monika Olesen to take the final match of the day in straight sets, 25-20 and 25-10.

A 3-2 start to the season is an acceptable start and the variety of teams the Ti-tans matched up against on Saturday should help prepare the Titans for the regular season. The Titans will travel to South Park for a tri-match battle with both the South Park Burros and the Cripple Creek Pioneers on Saturday, September 7.

Titans soccer struggles in Colorado Springs tournament

Defense the focus for now[ by Than acuff ]

It was a learning experience for the Crested Butte Titans high school soccer team as they opened the regu-lar season with the annual Classical Academy tourna-ment Friday and Saturday, August 30-31.

For the past five years, the Titans have made the trip to the Front Range to see what kind of soccer is being played in other parts of the state. Actually, the Titans make the annual trip to play Friday night under the lights.

This year, the tournament was more than just about playing under the lights, though. The Titans are coming into the 2013 season with a young defense led by junior Josh Melnick, who is surrounded by a slew of sophomores stepping into varsity play for the first time. While the coaching staff has worked with the new defense, the Classical Academy tournament would provide the coaching staff and team insight into how the new defense is shaping up.

“It’s a work in progress and there are some wrinkles,” says coach Drew Canale. “We’re trying something new with them and it’s like learning a new language for these kids. We have high expectations of them and we’ll continue to work on it.”

They opened the weekend against Manual, a highly skilled, fast-paced team from the Front Range area. Manual took control of the game early, winning 50/50 loose balls and dominating everything out of the air to build a 2-0 lead by halftime.

The Titans adjusted and refocused at halftime and brought some newfound energy to the field for the second half. Junior Sam Reaman put the Titans on the scoreboard 20 minutes into the second half taking a pass just outside the 18-yard box and drilling his shot into the upper corner.

Ten minutes later, Manual was called for a handball in the penalty area and senior Prawit Durgan drained the penalty kick to tie the game 2-2.

“The difference between the two halves was better communication on defense and help from the mid-field,” says Canale. “They played with new intensity.”

The game remained tied throughout regulation, forcing an overtime period with the first team to score taking the win, a.k.a. Golden Goal.

Crested Butte won the toss, took the kick off, pushed hard for a cross over the top but the Manual defense cleared the ball from danger. With the Titans pressed forward, Manual countered and scored 19 seconds into overtime to hand the Titans a 3-2 loss.

“They showed some resilience by coming back from a 2-0 deficit,” says Canale. “It was encouraging because they showed they had the fight a team needs to make a comeback. It was tough to lose but to be able to come back was a good lesson.”

The loss dropped Crested Butte into the losers bracket for the rest of the tournament and forced them to wake up early Saturday to face Alexander Dawson at 8 a.m. With a handful of injured Titans and a slew of freshmen looking to get some varsity time, the Titans coaching staff opted to mix some veterans with some first-year players for the game.

The decision turned what could have been a fairly uneventful win into a tight 2-1 battle as goals from ju-nior Kaleb Schultz and another from Reaman plus solid play at midfield helped pace the Titans to their first win of the new season.

“That was big for morale and confidence,” says Canale.

Crested Butte returned to the blazing hot turf field at 2 p.m. Saturday to face Weld Central for their third and final game of the tournament.

The Titans have edged out a couple of one-goal wins over Weld Central in the tournament before, but this time around, Weld handed the Titans a harsh dose of revenge that had been stewing for the past two years.

With injuries to three starters leaving the Titan forces somewhat depleted, Weld Central dominated the first half to capital-ize on miscues and build a 3-0 lead.

Senior Solon Gray and junior Isaac Evans did everything within their power to try to resuscitate the Titans in the second half and Durgan struck again, scoring off a set play from 20 yards out, but Weld proved too much to handle as they tacked on three more goals to win 6-1.

While the overall results were not what the coaches had hoped for, they did take some positives away from the weekend.

“It was great to get those younger players time in varsity games,” says Canale. “We’re going to need them throughout the season so we had to get their feet wet.”

The Titans will host their first home game of the season as they open league play against Pagosa Springs on Friday, September 13 at 4 p.m. They will then host Bayfield Saturday, September 14 at 1 p.m.

On the weekend of Sep-tember 7-8, the statewide non-profit, Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC), in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and Crested Butte Mountain Resort will lead volunteers in a significant trail restoration ef-fort along the Mt. Crested Butte Summit Trail. Fifty volunteers are needed.

No experience is necessary to volunteer, but participants must be at least 14 years old. Registered volunteers will be treated to meals from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon, and free camping on Friday and Saturday night.

Volunteers are asked to register in advance to ensure adequate quantities of tools, supplies, and food. Register via the Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado volunteer project calendar at www.voc.org/vol-unteer or (303) 715-1010.

The volunteer effort will focus on restoring the half-mile-long trail to ensure its sustainability for future users. The restoration will also further long-term plans to add inter-pretative signs along the trail. Volunteers will ride a chairlift to the project area and will work to restore damaged sec-tions of the trail by installing wood steps, rock steps, and other erosion control methods.

“This is an extremely pop-ular trail for locals and visitors alike,” says Tambi Gustafson, wilderness coordinator and snow ranger for the U. S. For-est Service, Gunnison Ranger District. “We really appreciate the work VOC has done in pre-paring for the project, and we are grateful for the volunteers who will be helping to make this trail more sustainable and safe.”

Funding for this project

comes from the Mike O’Brien Memorial Fund, the U.S. For-est Service, Gunnison Ranger District, the National Forest Foundation, and Crested Butte Mountain Resort.

Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado is a statewide non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to motivating and enabling people to be active stewards of Colorado’s natural resources. Since 1984, VOC’s award-winning volunteer, youth, and leadership train-ing programs have engaged more than 92,000 people of all ages in caring for Colorado’s outdoors—a total donated la-bor value of over $18.6 million. Such volunteer efforts have made a lasting impact on Colo-rado through hands-on work in wildfire land restoration, trail building and maintenance, tree planting and re-forestation, and much more.

“Poppy fields” prove troublesome[ by Than acuff ]

While a handful of Crested Butte Titans cross-country run-ners had stellar de-but performances this past weekend at the season open-ing Delta Invita-tional, others found themselves lost and confused in the second mile of the three-mile, or five-kilometer, course.

It was the sec-tion of the course coach Connie Hayden dubbed the “poppy fields,” where several Titan runners slowed down significantly. It may have had something to do with the 95-degree heat.

“It’s always an unknown how the kids are going to react to the heat,” says Hayden.

Senior For-rest Smith proved immune to the pop-pies and heat as he charged off the line, set a furious pace off the front and ended up duking it out with another runner until the finish line, coming in second place with a new per-sonal record time of 16 minutes, 21 seconds.

“In the past, Forrest has wilted in the heat,” says Hayden. “This time he totally exceeded our expectations. It was pretty darn cool.”

Senior Danny D’Aquila was next in line for the Titans, finishing in 14th place. Senior Kyle Boyle placed 30th and sopho-more Aiden Tru-ettner rounded out the varsity effort with a 37th-place finish.

“The rest of the team was a little slow compared to their time trial workouts the week leading up,” says Hayden, “although we

were happy with their times. It’s a really good starting point for all of them.”

In addition to Smith’s effort, Hayden was especially psyched with the work of her JV runners: Ben Swift, Conrad Truettner, Joe

Hayes and Skye Salley.

“They were awesome,” says Hayden. “That made my day.”

The Lady Titans all struggled with the heat, with the top time com-ing from sopho-more Sam Crossett. Crossett joined the team this season and was still ac-climating in her workouts, so the coaches decided she should open the season in the JV race.

“We didn’t want her to be overwhelmed in her first race at altitude,” says Hayden.

The JV runners race the same five-kilometer course as varsity and Crossett carried a steady pace all course long to fin-ish in second place among JV runners, approximately 40th overall, posting the best time of the day for the Titan girls.

The varsity girls suffered the most in the “poppy fields,” posting splits in the sec-ond mile that were anywhere from one to three minutes slower than their other mile splits. In the end they all fin-ished between 64th and 82nd place.

“They were very affected by the heat,” says Hayden.

The Titans will head off to their comfort zone, Leadville, on Sat-urday, September 7 for the Lake Coun-ty Invitational.

“The course is at 10,000 feet and hilly, and for some

reason, that’s where Crested Butte thrives,” says Hayden.

Torque, extend, launch[ by Than acuff ]

It’s time to start tapering your training regimen because the annual Peach Pit Spit contest is this Sun-

day, September 8 at the Farmer’s Market.

The Peach Pit Spit truly puts lung capacity and coordination to the test as participants have

to combine the right amount of air and the right amount of for-ward thrust all at the same time in an effort to spit their peach pit as far as possible.

“It’s all about get-ting some torque on your neck and getting your head out there,” says organizer and former competitor Zach Vaughter.

Last year’s event drew an international crowd with one contestant in from Munich, Germany for a shot at the title.

While Drew Canale was in the lead early with a spit 35 feet and six inches long, Pete Giannini crushed him and the rest of the field with a 43-foot effort to take the title and win two tickets to the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival.

This year tickets are up for grabs again as the Farmer’s Market secured two day passes to Sat-urday of the Blue and Brew Festival in Telluride the next weekend. There will also be some t-shirts for podium finishers and there will be two classes, adults and kids.

Best of all, it’s free to enter and all contestants will be provided a ripe, organic peach to eat down to the pit to spit.

The competition will be held at the west end of the Farmer’s Market and starts at 11 a.m. sharp.

See you at the spit.

Race season opens this Saturday[ by Than acuff ]

If you’ve been out on the trails in the past several weeks for your afternoon rides, chances are you’ve come across a lean, mean, biking team. For the fourth year in a row, Torrey Carroll is heading up the Crested Butte High School Mountain Bike team and has called on Jason Stubbe, Mark Rob-bins, Pete Curvin and Liz Sampey to help get the most out of the 11 young engines signed up to ride.

Senior Brennan O’Hagen is new to the program with classmates and veteran racers Tristan Kraatz and Cristo Church on hand to lead the team. Juniors Oz Scott, Derek Shomler, Emerson Wohlers and Colton Schnait-ter have several high school races under their belts and are looking to post enough top results this season to make a jump in class for their senior year. Sophomores Liam Rose, Kai Sher-man and Patrick Curvin all picked up some key experience last year racing as freshman and freshman Will Johnson will line up for his first high school race this season.

The team opened their workouts back in the beginning of August and, for the most part, they came prepared.

“Some of the kids have been riding in the summer and their skills and fitness are right up there,” says Carroll. “The kids who didn’t are catching up quick.”

Riding four days a week, the team started out with the all-important fitness workouts.

“The first couple of weeks, we just tried to get base miles in,” says Carroll. “Riding at a tempo just below breathing hard.”

Still, cognizant of the fact that endurance doesn’t make for the most complete rider, the team also took advantage of the free lift rides on

Fridays at Crested Butte Mountain Resort to work on their descending technique.

Carroll and his coaching staff ramped up the effort in the third week of workouts and called on Andy Shabo for some additional riding skills

work.The team will line up for their

first race of the season in Granby on Sunday, September 8 and to prepare for that, the coaches are pushing the kids to start developing a high end this week.

Nine athletes from the Crested Butte team will be riding in the JV class, one will ride in the sophomore class and one in the freshman class. None of the local high school team qualified for varsity level with their results from last year but Carroll puts that level into perspective.

“You have to be super fast to be varsity,” says Carroll. “The top riders in varsity already have racing contracts and have been racing pro this past year.”

The JV is not without its top guns either and can make for some extremely chaotic and fast-paced bike racing.

“The first race starts with four riders across and everyone in rows behind them,” explains Carroll. “Where you start depends on how well they do in the line-up. You have 75 kids waiting for them to open up the gate to line up.”

Depending on where the Crested Butte kids end up, Carroll expects them to do fairly well at the JV level.

“Our kids will be competitive in the JV race but so much depends on where they start,” says Carroll.

The season continues through October with races every other weekend, finishing up on Sun-day, October 20 with the state championships in Eagle.

Western State Colorado University’s total enrollment on the first day of classes is 3 percent larger than last year, and the university is seeing other positive enrollment growth, including a 5 percent growth in the incoming freshman class, and Western’s best retention rate in more than a decade.

Preliminary numbers indicate that Western’s total enrollment on the first day of classes was 2,275 students, up from 2,214 in the 2012/2013 school year. This number accounts for all full-time and part-time undergraduate, graduate, and concur-rently enrolled students.

An important note about enrollment numbers: First day of class numbers are preliminary and are not the official number reported to the state. Universities officially report the number of stu-dents who were enrolled at the end of the fall term, a number that is typically larger because it accounts for additional classes that begin in the middle of the term. Last year’s enrollment at the end of the fall term was 2,301 students, and historical trends indicate that Western’s end of term number for fall 2013 will be larger.

Retention and female enrollment increase:

“We believe more students are choosing West-ern because of our great faculty, challenging aca-demics, and one of a kind location,” says Western State Colorado University interim president Brad Baca. “We have also been focusing on retention, ensuring we keep more of the students we have, and it’s working.”

According to preliminary numbers, Western retained 69 percent of the 2012 freshman class. That’s up from 62 percent last year. The retention numbers may change by the time Western conducts its official census, but they demonstrate a posi-tive trend. Western State Colorado University has made retention efforts a high priority over the past several years, with initiatives like a new compre-hensive first year experience program that focuses on engaging freshman in their academic programs and the larger Western community.

“Western is committed to providing the best academic and career support for our students,” Baca says. “By elevating our academic offerings, career services and graduate programs, we are working to provide an outstanding education that ensures our students graduate and prepares them for the rest of their lives.”

Western also saw a 22 percent increase in fe-male first-time freshman students. Women account for 46 percent of this year’s freshman class. Last year 39 percent of the freshman class was women.

Western also saw a 31 percent increase in students who are veterans. The university has been actively recruiting both of these groups in an effort to increase campus diversity.

“This is the second year in a row we have seen growth in our enrollment, and we believe that this is just the beginning,” Baca says. “This is a univer-sity on the rise, and with a renewed focus on aca-demic excellence, improving retention, and growth, we expect more students will choose Western in the years to come.”

WSCU sees growth in enrollment

ARIES (MARch 21-ApRIl 19)“No regrets? Really?” asks au-thor Richard Power. “I have regrets. They are sacred to me. They inform my character. They bear witness to my evolution. Glimpses of lost love and trea-sure are held inside of them; like small beautiful creatures suspended in amber.” I think you can see where this horo-scope is going, Aries. I’m going to suggest you do what Powers advises: “Do not avoid your re-grets. Embrace them. Listen to their stories. Hold them to your heart when you want to remem-ber the price you paid to become who you truly are.” (Find more by Richard Power here: tinyurl.com/RichardPower.)TAURUS (ApRIl 20-MAy 20)

Urbandictionary.com says that the newly coined word “orgas-nom” is what you call the ec-static feelings you have as you eat especially delectable food. It’s derived, of course, from the word “orgasm.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, you are in an excellent position to have a number of orgasmic-like breakthroughs in the coming week. Orgasnoms are certainly among them, but also orgasaurals, orgasights, and orgasversation—in other words, deep thrills resulting from blissful sounds, rapturous visions, and exciting conversa-tions. I won’t be surprised if you also experience several oth-er kinds of beautiful delirium.

GEMINI (MAy 21-JUNE 20) If you were about to run in a long-distance race, you wouldn’t eat a dozen doughnuts. Right? If you were planning to leave your native land and spend a year living in Ethiopia, you wouldn’t immerse yourself in learning how to speak Chinese in the month before you de-parted. Right? In that spirit, I hope you’ll be smart about the preparations you make in the coming weeks. This will be a time to prime yourself for the adventures in self-expression that will bloom in late Septem-ber and the month of October. What is it you want to create at that time? What would you like to show the world about your-self?cANcER (JUNE 21-JUly 22)

The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land. It’s the foundation of the most politically powerful nation on the planet. And yet when it originally went into ef-fect in 1789, it was only 4,543 words long—about three times the length of this horoscope column. The Bill of Rights, en-acted in 1791, added a mere 462 words. By contrast, India’s Con-stitution is 117,000 words, more than 20 times longer. If you cre-ate a new master plan for your-self in the coming months, Can-cerian—as I hope you will—a compact version like America’s will be exactly right. You need diamond-like lucidity, not sprawling guesswork.

lEO (JUly 23-AUG. 22)There are two scientific terms for tickling. “Knismesis” refers to a soft, feathery touch that may be mildly pleasurable. It

can be used to display adoring tenderness. The heavier, deeper kind of tickling is called “gar-galesis.” If playfully applied to sensitive parts of the anatomy, it can provoke fun and laugh-ter. Given the current planetary alignments, Leo, I conclude that both of these will be rich meta-phors for you in the coming days. I suggest that you be extra alert for opportunities to sym-bolically tickle and be tickled. (P.S. Here’s a useful allegory: If you do the knismesis thing be-neath the snout of a great white shark, you can hypnotize it.)

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEpTEMbER 22)

In his “Song of the Open Road,” Walt Whitman wrote some lyr-ics that I hope will provide you with just the right spark. Even if you’re not embarking on a literal journey along a big wide highway, my guess is that you are at least going to do the met-aphorical equivalent. “Hence-forth I ask not good fortune—I myself am good fortune,” said Uncle Walt. “Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing. Strong and content, I travel the open road.”

lIbRA (SEpTEMbER 23-OcT. 22)

Mystical poet St. John of the Cross (1542-1591) was one of Spain’s greatest writers. But not all of his work came eas-ily. When he was 35, a rival re-ligious group imprisoned him for his mildly heretical ideas. He spent the next nine months in a ten-foot by six-foot jail cell, where he was starved, beat-en, and tortured. It was there that he composed his most re-nowned poem, “Spiritual Can-ticle.” Does that provide you with any inspiration, Libra? I’ll make a wild guess and specu-late that maybe you’re in a tough situation yourself right now. It’s not even one percent as tough as St. John’s, though. If he could squeeze some bril-liance out of his predicament, you can, too.ScORpIO (OcT. 23-NOV. 21)

The American naturalist John Burroughs (1837-1921) traveled widely and wrote 23 books. “I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think,” he testified, “all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.” Let’s make that longing for abundance serve as your rallying cry during the next two weeks, Scorpio. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you have a cosmic man-date to push to the limits—and sometimes beyond—as you sat-isfy your quest to be, see, and do everything you love to be, see, and do.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEc. 21)

Punk icon Henry Rollins did an interview with Marilyn Man-son, rock and roll’s master of the grotesque. It’s on YouTube. The comments section beneath the video are rife with spite and bile directed toward Manson, driving one fan to defend her hero. “I love Marilyn Manson so much that I could puke rain-

bows,” she testified. I think you will need to tap into that kind of love in the coming days, Sag-ittarius: fierce, intense, and de-votional, and yet also playful, funny, and exhilarating. You don’t necessarily have to puke rainbows, however. Maybe you could merely spit them.

cApRIcORN (DEc. 22-JAN. 19)

If you want to know a secret, I talk less crazy to you Cap-ricorns than I do to the other signs. I tone down my wild-eyed, goddess-drunk shape-shifting a bit. I rarely exhort you to don an animal costume and dance with the fairy folk in the woods, and I think the last time I suggested that you fall in love with an alien, angel, or de-ity was . . . never. So what’s my problem? Don’t you feel taboo urges and illicit impulses now and then? Isn’t it true that like everyone else, you periodically need to slip away from your ha-bitual grooves and tamper with the conventional wisdom? Of course you do. Which is why I hereby repeal my excessive caution. Get out there, Capri-corn, and be as uninhibited as you dare.AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEb. 18)Germany’s Ostwall Museum displayed a conceptual installa-tion by the artist Martin Kippen-berger. Valued at $1.1 million, it was called “When It Starts Drip-ping from the Ceiling.” Part of it was composed of a rubber tub that was painted to appear as if it had once held dirty rain-water. One night while the mu-seum was closed, a new janitor came in to tidy up the premises. While performing her tasks, she scrubbed the rubber tub until it was “clean,” thereby damaging the art. Let this be a cautionary tale, Aquarius. It’s important for you to appreciate and learn from the messy stuff in your life—even admire its artistry—and not just assume it all needs to be scoured and disinfected.pIScES (FEb. 19-MARch 20)

In her novel White Oleander, Ja-net Fitch suggests that beauty is something to be used, “like a hammer or a key.” That’s your assignment, Pisces. Find practi-cal ways to make your beauty work for you. For example, in-voke it to help you win friends and influence people. Put it into action to drum up new op-portunities and hunt down pro-vocative invitations. And don’t tell me you possess insufficient beauty to accomplish these things. I guarantee you that you have more than enough. To un-derstand why I’m so sure, you may have to shed some ugly definitions of beauty you’ve unconsciously absorbed from our warped culture.

Bode turns down 1993-94 heli ski applicant

There will not be a helicop-ter skiing operation in the Taylor River District the upcoming win-ter season of 1993-1994. District Ranger Pam Bode turned down a permit request filed last week by Colorado Heli-Ski.

The outfit, which is based in Summit County, has applied the last two years for a helicop-ter skiing permit but not been granted one, while the citizens’ group known as the “Gang of Nine” debated appropriate uses of the national forest around Crested Butte. That group of people came to an uneasy conclusion that a one-year test period should be allowed for the activity, with a final decision to follow.

“Pam has officially decided to reject the application of Colo-rado Heli-Ski for this winter,” said District administrator of-ficer Peggy Schick.

“If it is ever decided that he-licopter skiing is an appropriate activity in the forest near Crested Butte, the Forest Service would solicit applications from several

outfits who might be interested.”Schick explained that the

District Office is still in the continuing process of evaluating whether or not helicopter skiing is appropriate in the area.

“The Forest Service doesn’t have the manpower resources to complete the analysis at this time,” Schick said.

Schick could not give a time-line when that analysis would be completed.

Colorado Heli-Ski operated the helicopter that crashed last April in Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness Area while on a flight between the Irwin Lodge and Aspen. Three people were killed in that accident.

Crested Butte adopts trophy house limitations

The Crested Butte Town Council at its regular Tuesday night meeting 20 years ago ap-proved an ordinance adopting controversial floor area ratio (FAR) limitations. The matter is controversial because many citi-zens feel that in limiting the sizes of houses, property rights and architectural creativity would

be stifled. Others, including the council, feel that the ordinance will keep construction within the existing historical and architec-tural scale of town.

Ordinance #11 will create three new zones: R1C, R2C and R3C, representing the town’s core district. In R1C, principal

buildings will be allowed .3 FAR as a matter of right, up to .32 FAR depending on lot size and neighborhood context. No principal building shall be larger than 2,500 square feet. Maximum height for principal buildings can be no greater than 28 feet in all three of the new zones.

In the new R2C zone, prin-cipal buildings will be allowed .3 FAR as a matter of right, up to .4, depending again on neighbor-hood context and lot size, for a one-family dwelling unit. Such buildings can be no larger than 3,500 square feet. Principal build-ings for dwelling units other than single family are allowed .3 FAR as a matter right, ranging up to .5 FAR depending on lot size and neighborhood context.

Finally, in R3C zones, maxi-mum floor area ratio allowed is .3 as a matter of right, up to .32 FAR depending on lot size and neighborhood context. No princi-pal building shall exceed 2,500 square feet. All buildings in the zone will be restricted to .48 FAR, provided that all buildings shall not be larger than 3,500 square feet in the aggregate.

Ordinance 11 passed unani-mously in spite of some objec-

tions from local Realtors who felt the restrictions likened Crested Butte to a police state and did not reflect today’s lifestyle needs. Mayor Jim Schmidt responded that it was time we treated the town as a community, and not a commodity.

Best in the state, notes Tim Wirth

Local part-time resident Tim Wirth, who represented Colo-rado in the United States House of Representatives for 12 years and served one term in the US. Senate, wrote the following letter to the editor 20 years ago. The coverage he is referring to was written by Chronicle & Pilot as-sociate editor Laura Anderson.

To the Crested Butte Chronicle & Pilot:

Congratulations on your coverage of the passing of the Colorado Wilderness Bill (August 13, 1993). Your staff provided the best, most complete coverage of any newspaper I saw statewide—well done and Oh-Be-Joyful.

Sincerely,Tim Wirth
