My experiences and your actsof kindness have helped me develop an atti-tude of gratitude. I give thanks for everythingthat happens to me, knowing that every stepforward is a step toward achieving somethingbigger and better than my current situation.

There isn’t a day I don’t think aboutdeath and how much more relevant it is thanit used to be several months ago. But just aspresent are your acts of kindness, my family,my goals and the wonderful thought of liv-ing. This concept of living becomes my focus.A focus on making a difference for others asyou have done with me. I will never forgetall that you have done.

With your support, I have gained thestrength to stay positive. It is with your helpand your kind gestures that I have gained abetter and clearer understanding of howbeautiful life truly is. Each day I am learninga new meaning of what it means to live life tothe fullest. I thank God for each day I amalive and for the experience of being sur-rounded by so many beautiful human beings.

yes to FECDear Editor:

I am a member of the Sopris Sun boardand an occasional unpaid, volunteer contrib-utor to this paper. However, I offer the fol-lowing thoughts about the Gordon CooperLibrary solely in my capacity as a concernedresident of this fine town.

The trustees have three worthy proposalsto consider for future use of the building.Wemust come together to make the two mostpopular ideas — if not all three — happen,and I believe we can do it.

I love James Surls’ work, and I greatly ad-

mire the generous contributions Jim andConnie Calaway have made — and, onceagain, are offering to make — on behalf ofCarbondale. However, a James Surls Mu-seum is not the best use of the library prop-erty, nor do I feel the museum applicants haveadequately substantiated the economic bene-fits to town. Consider the following:

1) The Surls proposal estimates “10,000visits a year” to the museum. Its supportershave been tossing that number around as if itmeans 10,000 additional tourists to Carbon-dale, wallets open, as a direct result of thisproject. But it doesn’t. If the visit estimate isaccurate (which is open to debate) a goodnumber of those 10,000 visits a year will belocal people and visitors who happen to bein Carbondale for all the reasons that cur-rently exist, and local schools that will bringstudents to avail themselves of the educa-tional benefits. The tourism benefit has beenoverestimated.

2) The comparisons offered to substanti-ate the “10,000 visits” number in the pro-posal need to be examined closely as well.The Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas —the closest comparison — is at least 24 yearsold.Hats off to them for reaching the 10,000visits mark after building their reputation andprogramming for more than two decades!The Surls family is only guaranteeing thisproposed arrangement for 20 years. Mean-while, the museum plans to pay rent of only$1 a year to the town.

The other closest comparisons listed aretwo of many museums in the art Mecca ofTaos, New Mexico. I would argue that

Moments of aweDear Editor:

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing usto encounter everyday epiphanies, those tran-scendent moments of awe that change for-ever how we experience life and the world.

– John MiltonIt has been for sometime, now, that I have

been meaning to get this letter out to thelocal community. It is difficult to express inwords the gratitude I feel for the tidal waveof support my family and I have received asI have struggled with kidney cancer these lastfew months.

There is no possible way that I can nameevery individual that has lent a helping hand,in one way or another, but you know whoyou are. Even though I may not name youhere, please receive a sincere THANK YOU.

My family and I will be forever in your debt.I especially appreciate the teachers and

employees of the Roaring Fork School Dis-trict who have so kindheartedly provided myfamily with TLC and attention during theselast few months. Since November and non-stop to this day, the countless delicious meals,the funds, the cards, the visits and the prayershave all made such a difference in my life. Ifeel so blessed to be a colleague of so manykind souls.

I extend a sincere “thanks” to the teach-ers and staff from RFHS, CRES, CMS andCMC adjunct programs for all that theyhave contributed.

I also feel blessed to be a part of the worldof all the wonderful students at RFHS.Thankyou to Melissa Reynolds and the StudentCouncil of RFHS for all you have done.You

Why digital cinema; why now?By Kathy and Bob Ezra

From 1889, when Thomas Edison developed his motion picture film camera, to 2013with thousands of theatres projecting digital formats, the one constant is movies.They en-tertain, challenge and inspire us. And they will continue to do so.

The shift in the industry from film to digital won’t change the magic of the movies.Digital projection offers filmmakers new creative possibilities. It offers a sharp image andclear sound. It offers us flexibility and the ability to screen the work of local filmmakers.We will be able to host events at a lower rental cost than film, and to consider alternativecontent. It offers AspenFilm more flexibility when programming the Crystal Theatre forFilmfest and Shortfest.

Why digital cinema? Economics.The studios stand to save billions of dollars over timein printmaking fees and shipping costs. The cost of “striking” and delivering one 35mmprint is now approximately $1,000 per screen. A wide release typically was 2,500-3,500prints.The digital model means movies are shipped on a hard drive, reducing that $1,000to $100 or less.

Why now?At some point, keeping a dual inventory of digital and 35mm prints will notbe economically viable for the studios. According to the National Association of TheatreOwners, 86 percent of screens in the United States and Canada have converted. Interna-tionally, the Asian markets are a leader in digital conversion. But 60 percent of theatres inLatin America are still projecting film.

The industry finds itself caught between a rock and a hard place. No studio wants to bethe“bad guy”by being the first to go all digital with their releases.This is why no one willsay, definitively, when the end of film will come. Some speculate that the availability of filmstock will be the deciding factor. Fujifilm, one of the two major suppliers of film stock,ceased production in March.The other major supplier, Kodak, filed for bankruptcy, but isstill producing 35mm stock.The total boxoffice grosses from 35mm screens are becomingmarginal compared to digital screens. Some studios may find it hard to justify the cost of35mm prints for their blockbuster titles and may release those in digital only in the future.

We have been watching the evolution of digital cinema for several years.We were wait-ing for the cost of the equipment to come down, and it has.The past $100,000 digital cin-ema package is now $70,000 or less.We always felt our time to convert would come when35mm film became difficult to get and when some movies were only available in digital.Although we continue to get film, these two issues are coming up more and more.We arewaiting longer for film prints because there are fewer than in the past. Movies like“Chas-ing Ice” and “Bless Me Ultima” and others are only available in digital. That is the “Whynow?” for us.

With your support and generosity, we are getting closer to our digital fund-raising goalof $70,000 by May 31.We are optimistic that the quality of digital projection and soundwill enhance your movie-going experience.The audience is part of the magic of the movies.You entertain, challenge and inspire us to do the best that we can to bring you quality en-tertainment. Thanks for the magic and we’ll see you at the movies!

A group of Colorado Rocky Mountain School studentsrecently chose to build a solar powered, radio-controlledcar during their school’s Interim Week.The week offers op-portunities for experiential learning — from outdoor lead-ership in Chile to tropical ecology in Costa Rica — butbuilding the solar car turned out to be apopular student choice.

Noah Davis, from Solar Energy In-ternational, developed the Solar Rollerprogram to engage high school studentsin studying renewable energy and en-ergy efficiency in combination.

Students at French technical univer-sities have raced similar solar radio-con-trolled (RC) cars, but this is the first timethey have been built in the United States. CRMS studentswere among three local high schools that built the cars inpreparation for a race, held May 18 in Denver at a Na-tional Renewable Energy Lab event.

SolutionsEvery aspect of the Solar Roller project allows students

to create their own solutions to real-world problems.“There was a lot more trial and error than actual re-

search done,” said George Bernard, a CRMS junior.The students did have access to French instructions but

created a completely new design. Using delicate solar cells,foam, carbon fiber, critical thinking skills and creativity,the CRMS team constructed the first U.S. solar RC car.The two schools they competed against — Aspen HighSchool and Yampah High School in Glenwood Springs —

soon followed.Davis said he believes it is crucial for students to have

the authority to experiment, but encourages them to con-sider the results of each design they consider.

“Who wants to be the bumper design person?” Davisasked. Tanner Oates, a junior, then suggested building abumper with holes to reduce the weight and offer better

energy absorption.Interim week ended three months

ago, but the team met many extra timesbefore and after to design and completethe car. Amid the buzz of jigsaws andplenty of laughter, students worked withCRMS chemistry teacher Jim Gaw.

“They’re great because they neverstop,” Davis noted.

Davis compared soldering solar cellsto defusing a bomb, requiring intense concentration and asteady hand. Robinson Meng said soldering was “almostlike a post-war syndrome — every time we’d hear some-thing crack we’d freak out.” But all the hard work wasworth it. “This is going on my resume — ‘made the firstSolar Roller in the United States’,” Meng said.

Top speedThe car reaches a top speed of more than 20 mph with

combined solar and battery energy, and is almost as faston solar alone. Speed was an important consideration forthe hour-long race, but efficiency was key. The race forcedstudents to decide on a variety of design considerations.“It’s a great experience so far. I’m really glad I’m part ofthis,” said junior Fremond Mbanguza earlier in the year.

On May 18 the green flag waved at 11:30 a.m. to startthe one-hour race, which was a long enough period to testthe overall energy efficiency of each car and its rooftop re-newable energy generation system. The CRMS team ar-rived in suits, excited to see all their many hours of workcome to fruition. From the start, the race was exciting. Therace circuit was 50 meters in length and soon all three carshad completed laps of less than nine seconds.

While the teams had each conducted testing on smoothtennis courts and parking lots, it soon became apparent thatthe actual race would not be so gentle on the cars. Impactsbetween cars were unavoidable as they negotiated tightturns at 20 miles per hour and cars could be seen bumpingover lane dividers, banging into one another and even spin-ning like Frisbees at times. The foam bumpers students in-stalled worked well but could not protect the mechanicalsystems underneath. The CRMS car incurred damage be-tween the chassis and the solar panel (an area that couldnot be repaired quickly) and finished in third place.

The car was created through SEI’s Solar in the Schoolsprogram, a K-12 outreach effort that has received sup-port from the Aspen Science Center and Garfield CleanEnergy; while Fiberforge donated state-of-the-art carbonfiber materials.

Davis said he is excited about the interest the Solar

Rollers have generated and is working to fund the creationof an online resource allowing students and teachers acrossthe country design and race their own custom-built 1/10scale solar RC cars.

The Solar Rollers will race again on Aug. 11 at the AspenScience Festival Street Fair at Paepcke Park in Aspen.

The town is now considering one of twopossible sites for a solar array at the Car-bondale Nature Park following Tuesdaynight’s board of trustees meeting, accord-ing to town manager Jay Harrington.

Option A as it’s being called was stakedout several weeks ago and is located onthe southeast side of the park, while thenewer Option B is located at the park en-trance near where dog-turd bags are cur-rently distributed.

Harrington said the Carbondale Parks

and Recreation Commission will discussthe two options and is expected to make arecommendation at its next meeting onJune 12. He said the topic has not beenslated for a trustee meeting agenda item.

The Carbondale Nature Park (aka De-laney dog park) is one of two town parksthat allow dogs to run off leash. It’s locatedabout one-quarter mile northeast of townhall and covers about 35 acres.

Both options would cover about one-quarter acre, although one is configured inthree rows of solar panels and the other intwo rows, Harrington said. An illustration

will soon be posted on the town websitethat shows how each array would look.

The proposed solar array would containdozens of photo-voltaic solar panels thatsoak up energy from the sun and convert itto electricity that is fed into Excel Energy’sdistribution grid. Similar solar arraysaround town include one at ColoradoRocky Mountain School, which then-Col-orado Gov. Bill Owens dedicated when itwent on line, one on top of the CarbondaleRecreation Center and another on theThird Street Center roof.

The Delaney dog park solar array

would be linked to arrays at the town shopon Highway 133 and on the Third StreetCenter roof. All three were recommendedby Sunsense solar, which is negotiating acontract with the town to install and main-tain the system.

The new arrays are part of a purchasepower agreement (PPA), in which a thirdparty will actually buy the panels and makeits money back through federal tax credits.

The current push for more solarpower is linked to the town’s Energy &Climate Protection Plan, passed bytrustees in 2006.

Town adds second solar array option to dog park

Fill ‘er up. This new guy at town hall will fuel yourvehicle for free – as long as it’s a hybrid or full-onelectric car. Working with CLEER and GarfieldClean Energy, the town installed the electric vehicle(EV) charging station this week as one of its 2013energy projects. Town Manager Jay Harrington saidthe state paid $6,000 and the town put up $2,000for the free-standing unit. The town is giving awayfree juice partly because the cost for a credit-reader ismore than it would make on sales. Note: the chargeroperates on 240V but will not work with vehiclessuch as KDNK’s Miles electric truck that uses 110V– even though the EV station has an outlet on theside. Photo by Lynn Burton

Marfa and Taos offer much greater year-round appeal to tourists than does Carbon-dale, which is often difficult to reach by carduring winter months, our proximity toAspen not withstanding.

On a different point, suitability to the site.James Surls’ work is monumental. It deservesto be displayed in an exceptional building,created specifically for sculpture.Whereas thelibrary is wonderfully suited as is for an in-fant and toddler focused childcare center — ause that will add $30,000-$54,000 in annualrental revenue to the town coffers along withother economic benefits to the community.

Barbara DillsCarbondale

No brainer, No. 2Dear Editor:

Choosing the James Surls Museum for theGordon Cooper Library space is a no-brainer.We need more visitors to our great town andthis is the only suggestion that will bring themand much needed revenue with them. It willput Carbondale on the map as important tothe visual arts and could attract other galleriesto town, making this a real destination fortrue art lovers and collectors.

Yes, we are a family town: we love ourkids and grandkids, but using the library fora family day-care center will not increase rev-enues nor bring new visitors to town nor putus on the map as the most unique town of itssize in the state and beyond.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunityfor our town and James Surls is an excep-tional artist with the backing to make the

museum a true center of culture for our won-derful town. There are many other placesthat could serve the other wonderful sugges-tions for the space, but the Surls Museum isthe only one that will make our town evenmore unique than it already is.

We urge the city officials to make this im-portant decision for the future of Carbondale.

Seniors thanksDear Editor:

This also goes out to the many volunteersthat took their time to come out and spendthe day working with us at our booth.

Once again, thank you all.The Senior Matters staffThird Street Center, Room 33Carbondale

Children are our futureDear Editor:

A few years ago, Davi Nikent hosted Dr.Marilyn Hamilton, author of “Integral City:Evolutionary Intelligences for the HumanHive” (and founder of Integral City Mesh-

works Inc. and TDG Holdings Inc.) for amorning seminar here in Carbondale.

After a brief tour of the town and read-ily assessing the energy of our community,Dr. Hamilton urged us (the city managerand I) to focus on the children of the com-munity as they were/are the present strengthand the future.

I support the FEC proposal as it is an in-novative cog in the wheel of nurturing fam-ilies — parents and children.

By Sue GraySopris Sun Contributor

Wouldn’t you like to have a beautiful healthy flower orvegetable garden with very little work? Organic methods thatavoid adding herbicides or pesticides are a good start, but atruly sustainable garden is one that mimics nature and re-quires little help from humans.

From ground upGreat gardens start with

healthy soil. In nature, soil iscreated from dead plant mat-ter piling up over years,which feeds the microbiallife that is vital to soil health.Fungi, bacteria and worms

process organic matter andadd nutrients to the soil.One of the best ways to pre-

serve the health of your soil is toleave it alone. Tilling or turning the soil over with a shovelevery year destroys its structure, killing worms and microor-ganisms, evaporating moisture, and turning loose moist livingsoil into hard dry dead clods of dirt. Soil is a living organism,so don’t murder it with a shovel or tiller.

Chemical fertilizers disrupt the microbial process andmake plants dependent on artificial substances for their nu-trients. Really, the only thing you need to do for your soil isto add mulch and compost.

Mulch is not only good for your soil, it means you’ll spendless time feeding, weeding and watering. Layers of leaves,straw,grass clippings,wood chips,pine needles,and even paperimprove soil as they decompose by feeding microorganisms.Mulch also conserves water by preventing rapid evaporation,and a four-six-inch layer will discourage most weeds.

Compost is organic matter that’s been given the time andingredients to produce nutrient-rich living soil. The ingredi-ents needed to make compost are water, air and organic mat-ter like garden waste and kitchen scraps* from fruits andvegetables, eggshells, nutshells, coffee grounds, shreddednewspaper and even dryer lint! Things that shouldn’t beadded are meat and milk products. You can make a simplecompost pile in your garden or purchase a commercial com-poster. Spread compost under perennial plants or work it gen-tly into the soil before planting seeds to add nutrients thatwere depleted by last year’s crops.

Good seedsOpen pollinated, non-hybrid, non-genetically modified

(GMO) seeds will produce consistent vegetables, herbs andflowers every year, and provide you with viable seeds for nextyear’s crop. Planting your own seed or that of other local gar-deners will eventually produce a hardier plant, adapted toyour area’s climate. Seed libraries such as the one at the BasaltLibrary are a great place to get locally grown vegetable andflower seeds for free.

Water conservationIn our dry climate, conserving water is essential to sus-

tainable gardening. In addition to mulching, use drip irriga-tion, water in the early morning or evening, and plant nativedrought-tolerant plants in your landscaping.Another method

is to create a“rain garden,”which utilizes natural rain catch-ment techniques by contouring the land.

Pesky pestsEvery insect is drawn to a particular plant by its smell, so

planting huge blocks of one crop is like a giant billboard ad-vertising the pest’s favorite meal. Intersperse carrots, lettuce,beets, beans, onions etc. to confuse pests. Companion plant-ing deters pests by putting an undesirable plant next to a de-sirable one. For example, marigolds apparently smell bad tomany insects and will keep them away from your food crops.Companion planting charts are available on the Internet.

a perpetual gardenThe ideal garden would be one that persists year after year

with little interference by the owner, where vegetables, fruits,herbs and flowers reseed themselves and thrive in a coopera-tive environment. This is “permaculture” or “forest garden-ing,” which utilizes whole system methods and lets nature domost of the work.Fortunately for us,we have a premier learn-ing center right here in the Roaring Fork Valley — CentralRocky Mountain Permaculture Institute (CRMPI), which of-fers tours and classes. Sustainable Settings Ranch also pro-

vides educational opportunities for gardeners.Learning to work with nature in a sustainable way will re-

duce your workload, create a healthier environment and re-ward you with abundant food and flowers.

*Some municipalities prohibit kitchen waste in compost.Check with your town government.

Sometimes a four-wheel-drive vehicle comes in handy … and sometimes it really doesn’t.Such was the case at the Third Street Center on Sunday night, when this truck’s opera-tor failed to successfully drive up and over a parking-lot boulder that didn’t requiresuch capabilities from a truck. On a related note, TSC denizens report a veritable spateof motorists ramming into the boulders, which were recently placed there to protectthe parking lot sprinkler system and grass.

Horsin’ andplayin’ around

Carbondale was alive with activity on May 18-19 and folks with cabin feveremerged from their hibernation dens to take advantage of the spring weather.

From horsin’ around at the hunter-jumper show at Strang Ranch on MissouriHeights and the Mexican rodeo at the Carbondale rodeo arena, to ridin’ piggy backat the Roaring Fork Co-op customer appreciation day on Saturday, there were plentyof offerings to take advantage of.

On Sunday evening the Band of Heathens were playin’around at PAC3, where fans welcomed back their favorite bandfrom Austin, Texas by dancin’ around to some incredible music.

The major horse show season might not have started, but if you haven’tstarted getting your mount ready for the summer, you’re already late.

If you own a horse, you should start getting your animal ready by check-ing its feet. As the old saying goes,“No feet, no horse” can rear its ugly headif those vital structures are not of top priority. Proper care during the springmonths can set the tone for summer riding season without having to callyour veterinarian for a stone bruise or soft tissue injury.

A carefully controlled exercise plan should be next on the agenda. Ahorse that has been turned out since fall will not be as fit as he was lasttime he was ridden. How long it will take him to get back in shape will de-pend largely on what kind of shape he was in when cold weather hit; ahorse that was physically fit before taking a two- or three-month break canreturn to good form much more quickly than one that wasn’t. The firstthing I worry about is injury; his tendons are not in shape or his bones aremore brittle. The unique thing about a horse is that when you exercise him,he actually has bone remodeling. The bone softens and then starts repair-ing itself for that activity level. Tendons do the same thing. So it’s impor-tant to do a long, slow exercise regimen, just getting those feet and tendonsand muscles back in shape.

Next, check your tack and equipment. Make sure that nothing is dry-rotted and thateverything you’ll need is present and in good shape. Blankets should be clean; bridles,saddles, and other leather tack should be oiled.

It’s a good idea to take stock of your horse’s diet at this time of year, too. It might benecessary to add more calories and protein as the horse transitions from being on a main-tenance program to a performance regimen. On the other hand, if he has come out of thewinter a little heavy and is now on green pasture, reducing the amount of caloric intakeis paramount to reducing equine metabolic problems like insulin resistance and laminitis.

As the weather begins to warm, flies and mosquitoes will start to be a part of yourequine environment. Let that frustration be a reminder to ensure proper vaccinations aregiven to prevent such diseases as West Nile virus and encephalitis. Additionally, coldweather might hold internal parasites at bay, but as soon as the grass starts to shoot upin the spring they can return with a vengeance. It’s a good idea to consult with your vet-

erinarian for the plan that will allow you to stay ahead of the specific par-asites affecting your farm.

EmergenciesMany of my clients have been asking about how to be prepared on the

trail or in the arena should a laceration or colic occur. There are some ba-sics that every horse owner should have on-hand in a first-aid kit to makethose inevitable situations seem not too traumatic on you and your horse.

First, you will need a five-gallon bucket with a lid. This will serve bothto hold all your first-aid items that can be used to clean wounds. Dry andwet items will need to be stored in sealed containers within the bucket.Dry supplies you’ll need are: 16 inch combine bandage, vet wrap, tonguedepressors (ointment application), syringes, four-by-four inch gauze,Epsom salts, thermometer, scissors, tweezers, duct tape, disposable diapers,gloves, clean towels and small flashlight.Wet items that should be includedare: betadine, Dawn dish soap, triple antibiotic ointment, one-gallon ofbottled water and antiseptic wound spray. Furthermore, consult with your

veterinarian about other prescription medications to include in your portable first-aid kitsuch as anti-inflammatories, analgesics and tranquilizers. Some prescription medicationmay require special handling and storage and might have to be kept in a location otherthan your handy first-aid bucket.

Once the bucket is filled, just snap on the lid and you are ready. As you deplete sup-plies from the kit simply replace them from your barn supply. It is important that you notonly carry these items, but also know how to use them. To learn more about providingfirst-aid care for your horse, talk to your veterinarian or attend a training conducted bya veterinarian.
