Lastweek, CBMR officially decided to give it a go, while theRTA has opted to sit this one out.In September, representatives from the TellurideMontrose Regional Air Organization and the TellurideTourism Board asked CBMR and the RTA to contribute$150,000 toward the new Allegiant Air program. Thatmoney would join a larger pool of funds to pay for revenueguarantees for the airline and, more important, theyargued, a marketing fund to promote the new service.Allegiant will provide two flights a week from theSan Francisco and Phoenix markets, with starting faresas low as $113 one way from Oakland InternationalAirport and $83 one way from Phoenix Mesa Airport.By joining marketing efforts, the Telluride groups saidCBMR and other Gunnison Valley businesses would berepresented on the Allegiant Air web site and possiblywould be part of wider marketing efforts.According to Jeff Moffett, CBMR’s director of CrestedButte Vacations, the primary benefit of participationwill be the resort’s presence on Allegiant’s web site.“It allows us to be seen as a destination on Allegiant’sweb site,” Moffett said. “Ninety percent of Allegiantsales occur on their web site, and the other 10percent in their call center. We think it’s important to belisted on the menu and featured as a destination so wecan see traffic come to the resort via these flights.”CONTINUED ON PAGE 9Moly mining plan in hands of USFSBut you can’t see it... BY MARK REAMAN A preliminary Plan of Operations (PoO) has been filedby U.S. Energy with the Forest Service for mining molybdenumon Mt. Emmons. The plan was officially filed October10 when it was hand-delivered to the district ranger andforest supervisor at the Delta office.According to Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and GunnisonNational Forest external affairs officer Lee Ann Loupe,the PoO is being reviewed by the agency “in accordancewith established policy and procedures.”Loupe said when the mining company filed the plan, itrequested the document “be treated as privileged and confidentialin their transmittal. It is our understanding that thePoO is a proprietary document of U.S. Energy and we haverequested confirmation of this.”High Country Citizens’ Alliance was aware that a PoOwas going to be filed before the end of the year, but theywanted to be able to look it over. According to a HCCApress release, “HCCA has filed a Freedom of InformationAct request with the Forest Service, requesting that the planbe released on the basis of its impact on the community’seconomy and clean water resources.”HCCA president Rich Karas expressed concern, but notshock, at the development, saying, “We were expecting thatthis plan would be filed before the end of the year, so it’snot a huge surprise. We do think that it should be released17 24publicly as soon as possible, even if some confidential industryinformation needs to be redacted. The communityhas a right to know what U.S. Energy has planned for RedLady.”The Forest Service review of a PoO takes at least 30days. The agency can request further information about theplan and that can extend the review timeline.“Review of the PoO is an iterative process to ensurethat the information is complete and to clarify any additionalinformation or understandings that are necessary forthe agency to formally ‘accept’ the PoO,” explained Loupe.“This is an internal review process that does not authorizeany activity or grant any rights.”HCCA water director Jennifer Bock made it clear theultimate goal of the environmental organization is to find apermanent solution to the possibility of mining on Red Lady.“It’s important for people to know that a Plan of Operationsis a very preliminary first step. Next, the Forest Service willdecide whether to accept the plan based on its adequacy,and later on an extensive NEPA process will begin.“In the meantime, HCCA is working with our partnersto negotiate a permanent solution to keep mining off of RedLady,” said Bock.According to Loupe, upon formal acceptance of thePoO, the Forest Service will need to identify an interdisciplinaryteam, project leader and timeline to begin an environmentalanalysis process (NEPA) for the project. TheNEPA analysis process will provide for public input andinvolvement in evaluating the proposed activities.[ Overheard ]“Actually, I’m really busy rightnow...I just haven’t starteddoing anything.”“Zombie Fun Titans on State Podium -At the Bacchanale Bench

The system is so efficientthat the country has recently begun to import about 800,000tons of trash every year. Norway pays Sweden to take its garbage,and Sweden’s sights are also set on Bulgaria, Romania and Italy asfuture exporters. The country is leading the way in waste managementduring a time when nearly 70 percent of deep-sea Arctic creaturesare in contact with human trash. —information compiled fromNPR.orgThe campaign season is almost over. ThankGod. The season is more than ready to be finished,given the tsunami of crap being spewed on the nationallevel. Living in a “swing state,” we get the“privilege” of seeing all the political commercials,taking all the political robo-calls and experiencingall the political candidates dropping in. But it istime for it to end. Nothing new is being generatedexcept commission checks for the televisionadvertising guys.But keeping it in perspective, let’s rememberthat locally, we have good candidates runninggood campaigns. Each has stepped up andexposed their personalities to the public. Thankyou. Win or lose, we appreciate the mostly civilconversation.Nationally, it is purposefully more shaded.The charges and accusations, the flips and theflops, the over-the-top finger pointing has becomeshrill. We will all breathe easier when the “approvedmessages” take their leave.The bottom line is that it is time to vote if youhaven’t already. Those who won’t take the time tocast a ballot are being lazy. Choosing not to participatein the election as a citizen is not a politicalstatement. There are ample ways to make politicalstatements, and not voting is the lamest one.Dear Mark and Fellow Community Members:I am writing to urge you to vote yes for Ballot Issue1A to renew the Gunnison Valley Land PreservationFund. The fund has existed since 1997, and contributesto fulfilling many of our highest priorities in livinghere.

If you wantto make a “statement” and you don’t like Mr.Obama or Mr. Romney for president, I noticedRoseanne Barr is a choice. So are Gloria La Riva,“Rocky” Anderson, Gary Johnson, Jill Stein and10 others. They are all choices you can check forpresident of these United States on your ballot.Send that message but take the responsibility tovote.You sort of owe it to the local guys. They havebeen out there for months knocking on doors,going to Rotary Club meetings, pounding signsinto the dirt, attending chili fundraisers, buyingbeers, all in an effort to engage the local voter.That’s you. Heck, I saw in the police report thatone of the candidates got reported to the cops fortrespassing. It’s rough out there as a candidate.So take the 10 minutes and perform whatmany would say is your civic duty. Be a responsiblecitizen. Fill in the boxes and be proud thatyou live in a place where you have a voice—evenif you use your voice to vote for Roseanne Barr forpresident.—Mark ReamanLETTERStrails enjoyed by myself and my family are the productof the Gunnison Land Preservation Fund.

The book was a copy ofRobert Stone’s Outbridge Reach, and police have described the gunas a gold, wooden handle, A.S.M. brand .31 caliber single-shot blackpowder gun.

Crested Butte News LETTERSNovember 2, 2012 | 3MOOOVE OVER: Cattle made their way through downtown Crested Butte and onto the highway last weekas they headed south for the winter. photo by Brandon CliffordOberosler: “Neither a Democrat nor a Republican in disguise”Dear Editor:We are in the last week of thecampaign now and all of us candidatesare doing what we can to attractthose undecided voters. Extrasigns are popping up all over thevalley in case someone missed thethousands that are out there. We areall preening our feathers and finetuningour messages to sway youour way, and all on the borderlineof utter exhaustion. Campaigning isnot for sissies.I started this journey over ayear ago, bouncing the possibility ofmy running off of trusted friends tomeasure my electability in generaland later against at least oneperson who had been “groomed”for a run at a commissioner seat.Some thought I was crazy going upagainst a party favorite and otherswere overjoyed to have a candidatethat they could call their own.Someone they could talk to no matterwhat, a person who had workedbeside them on projects throughoutthe years and at both ends of thevalley; the real deal.The campaign trail led meto talk to everyone I could abouthistorical politics in the valley andthe problems in the county past andpresent. I spoke to board membersBallot 1A to preserve ourwater resourcesDear Editor:The Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy Districtoffers its support to Ballot Issue 1A, the renewal of the GunnisonValley Land Preservation Fund.The Land Preservation Fund serves several purposeswith regard to water. The conservation easements securedthrough the Fund help protect wetlands, promote qualityhay production, and most importantly, assure that waterrights stay connected to the properties. This keeps our valleysgreen, attractive and fire-resistant. It also helps in ourefforts to keep the waters of Gunnison County from beingdiverted elsewhere.The District’s values strongly support the continuationof irrigated agriculture in the basin because of its economiccontribution to the community and because of the culturaland social values of the ranching way of life. The Land PreservationFund assists with this value.We also recognize and value the recreational opportunitiesand aesthetic values provided by the Fund as importantfor our community.Water is of utmost importance to our dry, western landscape.The land’s precious resource.Please vote yes on Ballot Issue 1A to help ensure thefuture health of local water sources.Sincerely,Frank J. Kugel,General ManagerUpper Gunnison River Water Conservancy Districtand ranchers, businesses ownersand former commissioners to tryand capture the essence of GunnisonCounty from their perspectives.I figured to learn all I could, takingnothing for granted even though Iwas born and raised here and hadmy own thoughts on things.The reoccurring message I gotfrom those willing to talk to me wasthat none of our problems are rocketscience. The problems we face aresomething that we can remedywith some creativity from withinand communication outside of theboardroom. My personal twist toit is if we all work together goodthings will happen.The second message I got fromvirtually everyone was to just bemyself. Of course being myself iseasy, I can’t be anyone else. I cannotbe what I am not for it goes againstmy grain. I cannot boast to youabout how much I know or howimportant I am because it feels tooegotistical somehow; it is not mystyle. I can tell you I am extremelyhard working, honest and ethical atevery turn and will do my best torepresent all of you, not a party.Independent candidateshave to work harder than mostbecause the support of the partiesis not there for us. However, itbehooves the unaffiliated candidatein other ways because folks aresick of where things have gonein this country under business asusual party leadership and they arewilling to jump ship to get heard.All most folks want is to be fairlyrepresented. They want someoneto listen to them and their ideasimplemented. They want to be apart of the decisions that affect theirlives and their environment.I invite undecided voters to askyour neighbors about who I am andalways have been. I am neither aDemocrat nor a Republican in disguiseas a few have suggested, I amjust myself and passionate aboutthis area, my home.In closing I would like to recognizethe contributions of my GHSclassmate Rick Miller. He workedhard for downtown Gunnison asa business owner and councilmanbecause he cared. He did not do itfor himself; he did it for the community.Rick lived life to the fullest andI appreciate his gumption and canonly hope I can uphold his passionfor Gunnison County. Rest in Peace,Ricky.Polly OberoslerLWV supports 1Acontinued from previous pageIt’s important that citizens realize that therenewal of the Fund will be accomplished withoutraising taxes.

Iwish that were true, because at a local level, weget to vote for “real people.” I treasure the reflectionsof people who have worked directly withour national candidates, because it gives us someinsight into who they really are. We have a bettershot at seeing that for ourselves in local politics,because we run into our elected officials at thegrocery store, football games, at dinner, kids’events, etc. They are “real people,” not fictionscrafted from attack ads and gotcha questions ontelevision.In voting for a real person, we get to lookthrough the party labels to the candidates themselves,their track records, their involvements inthe community. It is often not an easy decision,because we are fortunate to have great people inGunnison who care deeply about being here—it ispart of being in a small community, I suppose. Adifficult choice can only be a good thing in a localrace, because—at the core—that means that youknow you have people who want to see the bestfor this place. It would be refreshing if we couldall have that feeling of certainty from the candidatesin our national elections.As an independent, I enjoy freedom from theexpectation to vote the party ticket—I get to lookat the individual candidates. In our local District2 county commissioner race, I see candidates whohave served as business owners, have been longtimeresidents here, and have long-held connectionsto WSCU—a number of important qualitiesin common. Frankly, they have a lot of similaritieson the important challenges for Gunnison County.At decision time, however, I look to who willserve as the best representative of the people ofGunnison County. I’ve only known Jonathan for20 years. In another 20 years we might both be“locals” here. I love talking politics with Jonathan.Despite our political differences, I feel thatJonathan always has an open ear to the issues onthe ground. This “ear to the ground” comes fromJonathan’s diverse involvements in GunnisonCounty—in government, the schools, and thebusiness and WSCU alumni community.I recall “discussing” our differences on theGunnison Rising annexation process. I was balkingat the time, effort and money being expendedin the process—what some (me included) called“obstructionist” politics. Today, some of theconcerns that Jonathan voiced await completionat taxpayer expense. What was viewed as obstructionistwas, indeed, Jonathan’s effort to alleviatetaxpayer burden on the back end of the eventualapproval process.His efforts demonstrate a thoughtful concern,vision, and attention to detail and follow throughas a councilman and provide some insight into hisservice as a future commissioner.Sincerely,Boyd PedersonGunnisonHouck is the best, most committed candidateDear Community:I want to encourage the voters of CrestedButte to consider Steve Schechter on November6. Steve volunteers to help outdoor educationprograms, which are character-buildingexperiences. I have led several courses whereSteve directly contributed to the benefit ofkids in our community. These programs relyon dependable community members in orderto be successful. He has dedicated countlessFor ten years he gave his all tothe students he taught and now,as Project Coordinator for GunnisonCounty Substance AbusePrevention Project office, he isagain in a career that is centeredon young people.Jonathan isn’t a career politician,but he is a person wholoves his community and hassacrificed many hours becominginvolved in city and local politics.As a city council memberand present mayor of Gunnison,his experience is invaluable andhis energy is never-ending. HisA voice for Steve Schechterwillingness to study and understandthe issues is so needed.If anyone is an undecidedvoter in this race, I urge themto go to read the recent questionand answers for candidatespublished in the News.By comparing the answers andthe knowledge among Wilcox,Oberosler, and Houck, it will beobvious that a vote for JonathanHouck is by far the best choicefor Gunnison County.Thank You,Narcissa Channellhours to build sustainable homes, workingwith GCEA on eco-friendly opportunities, anddefending our natural resources.

Crested Butte News LETTERSNovember 2, 2012 | 5Dear Editor:This is a call to action, to real change, to health and tosupport the land that supports us. Please vote for SteveSchechter for county Commissioner. Steve has been a localpioneer in the green building and energy efficient movementfor many decades. Steve has spent years advocatingfor our water as an Upper Gunnison water board, was theCo-Chairman and instrumental in bringing the ColoradoStraw Bale Association Conference to Western two years aswell as countless other board commitments, and is one of thebest gardeners in the county, freely sharing his knowledge,experience and land to promote future gardeners.The future financial security and health of GunnisonCounty depends on our capacity to meet local needs, withlocal wealth. We need to be careful not to further our communitiesdependency on systems over which we havelittle control or knowledge of future impacts to our naturalresources and individuals health and well being. To do thissuccessfully we need to balance the health of people, landuse and local economy. The world is changing; those focusingon sustainability and green energy are already reapingthe financial benefits.Thank you,Dusty SzymanskiA vote for local wealthPetrowsky speaks up against deceitin election adsTo the Editor:The voters of HouseDistrict 61 need to be madeaware of some lies that havebeen going out over the radioagainst myself and othercandidates. I have been campaigninghard, and hope towin this race, so the fact thatI am defending the other candidatesshows that there aresome blatant lies going outthat just shouldn’t be toleratedby anyone. I am personallydisgusted that the candidatethat they support hasn’t comeout against these lies andhope that she will do so. I’msorry, we are all supposed tobe politically correct in this.The candidate I have spokenof hasn’t endorsed “lies,” shehas endorsed “untruths” asthe spineless people call it.The ad that I am referringto says that Millie Hamner isthe only candidate who willre-fund the education systemand features a little girl beggingcandidates not to preventher from getting an education.What the ad doesn’t mentionis that the funding levels areset by the state constitutionand can’t be touched by anycandidate. What we are all indisagreement over is how todistribute the funding, andwhat laws need to be put inplace, or removed, to best facilitateour education system.These ads are being paidfor by independent candidatecommittees and are notdirectly associated with MillieHamner. They are, however,supported by people affiliatedwith the Democratic Party.The State House has 65 seatsand is currently split 33-32in favor of Republicans. IfKathleen Curry (I), DebraIrvine (R), or myself, RobertPetrowsky (ACP) are elected,the Democrats will lose animportant seat and possiblyremain out of control. PersonallyI am outraged that thisrace is over the control of aseat rather than the servicethe community needs in agood legislator. It is unfair tolie to the voters to get control,and immoral to manipulate achild into thinking they won’tget an education if their partyis not put in power. Theyaren’t in power now, yet shestill goes to school!Another ad that needsdiscussed is over KathleenCurry voting to not allowpeople to get checked formammograms and wantingto kill cancer patients. The billthis references was a one-yearmoratorium on new coveragemandates and did nothing toexisting coverage, and wasdone as a stabilizer for coveragerates. I know Kathleenpersonally and also know thatshe has family who has sufferedbreast cancer. I as wellhave lost a friend to breastcancer, and lost my uncle tobladder cancer. I can assurethe voters that, regardless ofhow we wish to fund paymentof medical services relatingto cancer screening, weall are empathetic to peoplewith any form of disease andare hurt personally when weare attacked for differences inbelief.I hope you will all listento what the candidate saysthey will do rather than whatthey say the other personwill not do. So many peoplehave been turned off by themudslinging taking place inthe presidential race, and Iam ashamed to be a candidatein a state house race that isdoing the same. I am not doingthis to discredit Hamneron any of her policies, butrather to address what sheand her party have said aboutother candidates in an effortto guarantee a win in a tightrace.

Two sets of charges arebeing considered through ColoradoParks and Wildlife and theMt. Crested Butte Police department.CPW issued tickets lastweek to Gary Schaffer, SteveSnyder and Tom Dill, all ofCrested Butte. All three receivedtickets for “Hunting in a carelessmanner” and “Illegal possessionwith special circumstances involvingthree or more animals.”The fine for the illegal possessioncharge ranges from$1,370 to $10,000 per animal andcould include one year in prisonif levied to the maximum. Huntingand fishing privileges couldalso be suspended for life. Thehunting in a careless mannercharge could result in a potentialfine of $100 to $1,000 if themen are convicted.Snyder and Dill, who didthe actual shooting in the incident,were also charged with“Failure to pursue wounded animal/wasteof edible game” thatcomes with a $300 fine and “Notwearing required fluorescentorange,” which has a $50 fine.Shaffer did not shoot a gun duringthe incident but was chargedwith “Failure to tag an animal”for shooting an elk earlier inthe week and failure to void alicense. Both of those have $50fines.Mt. Crested Butte policechief Hank Smith said the CPWis handling all the charges connectedto wildlife violationswhile his department is followingup with the DUI and the“Prohibited use of a weaponunder the influence of alcohol ordrugs” charges against Schaffer.According to a CPW notice,the district attorney has also requestedthe forfeiture of the defendants’rifles. A court arraignmenthas been set for November27 in Gunnison on the CPWcharges. None of the charges arefelonies.“Unfortunately, this is givingall hunters a black eye,”commented CPW spokespersonJoe Lewandowski. “Sometimespeople get pumped up whenthey see a bunch of animals butthese guys all seem to be experiencedhunters. They aren’trookies. But they were shootingtoward houses and towardHighway 135. It happenedabout 4 o’clock in the afternoonwhen traffic was picking up. WeTransportation to and from Crested ButteCommunity School has been a challenge for somebus-riding students so far this year, as well as forthe Gunnison Watershed school district, which hasbeen scrambling to fill several open bus-drivingpositions.And the struggle isn’t over, as some of thosedrivers who came to the rescue have wintertimecommitments elsewhere. The district is working tofill the resulting vacancies just as more kids need aride to school.“As the weather has gotten colder, some ofthe kids who live in Riverbend and Skyland, we’renow starting to pick up,” superintendent Jon Nelsonsaid.After starting the school year two bus driversshort in the wake of budget cuts that reduced fundingfor transportation, Nelson tried to find qualifiedpeople living in the upper Gunnison Valley todrive routes in Crested Butte South as well as onethrough town, instead of paying drivers from Gunnisonto cover the routes.Slowly but surely, enough drivers stepped upto cover bus routes for this fall. Nelson says thedistrict was happy to have a commercial driver’slicense (CDL) wielding former schoolteacher comeout of retirement to drive a bus route in CrestedButte South and an educational assistant at CrestedButte Community School willing to drive a minibus until he earns his CDL and takes the wheel of aschool bus this winter.But as winter approaches, one of the remainingdrivers has another employment obligationand has to bow out. “He will stay on and substitutefor us but he has other employment for the winter,”Nelson said. The replacement will need to be readyright after Christmas break.If anyone with a commercial driver’s licenseand an hour and a half free at either end of theschool day is interested in becoming a bus driver,contact the superintendent’s office at 641-7760.Charges filed against local huntersurge hunters to be more careful.Safety has to be the first priority.One moment of carelessnesscan result in a lifetime of consequences.Fortunately no one washurt in this incident but it was abad situation.”Lewandowski said it appearsthe men were shootinginto or near a herd of elk andthat is where the most serious,“illegal possession” ticket camefrom. “There were multiple animalsinvolved,” Lewandowskiexplained. “When multiple animalsare on the ground, it showsthe hunters weren’t really payingattention to what they wereshooting at. That led to the specialcircumstances aspect of thecharge. This was an egregiousact. Most hunters don’t behavelike this and unfortunately itleaves a bad impression with thegeneral public. This was a veryrare incident. Fortunately wehave good wildlife protectionlaws in effect and there will bepunishment for this.”The men involved havesaid they felt the situation wassafe and they were followingsafe hunting protocol. However,they admit, in hindsight, giventhe location of the property, itwas not very sensitive to thenon-hunters in the area and theywould not take the same actionagain.

We want to get it up and running,”he said.He was unable to comment, however, on whether CBMRcommitted to the initial request for $150,000 or negotiated adifferent agreement. Without public entities like the RTA involved—entitiesthat must disclose their financial participationto the public—Moffet said those specifics were proprietary.The RTA opted not to participate in the Allegiant Air program,based on a recommendation from RTA staff and the boardchair. According to executive director Scott Truex, the reasonswere primarily financial.Late last summer, board members from the RTA solicited$80,000 in contributions from local governments. Those fundswent above and beyond sales tax collection to cover potentialshortfalls for revenue guarantees to airlines serving the GunnisonCrested Butte Regional Airport. Securing additionalfunds to support the Montrose Airport didn’t make sense tothe board.“It would be pushing it financially, and from our way ofthinking we need to focus on the Gunnison airport,” Truex said.He added that board chairman Chris Morgan had rightfullypointed out that the RTA mission statement clearly focuses onthe Gunnison airport.“Anybody can use the service,” Truex said. “Just becausewe’re not participating doesn’t mean the flights aren’t goingto happen. The primary benefit to our valley would have beento the lodging community selling their rooms and the touristbusinesses selling their services on the Allegiant web site.But it doesn’t take away from people using those planes to gethere.”According to Moffett, winter bookings into Gunnison arecurrently about 1 percent ahead of last year. Moffett reportedbookings from Dallas and Houston continue to pace well comparedto last year.“American Airlines service from Dallas is doing well becausethey’re selling more seats on a similar schedule as lastyear,” Moffett said. By contrast, the Houston flight from UnitedAirlines has fewer seats this year than last. January flights thattypically didn’t perform well were removed from the schedule.As a result, the flight isn’t selling more seats but the load factors,or percentage of seats sold per flight, are higher. And asreported last month, the Denver flights continue to underperform.Moffett remains optimistic. “The Allegiant program is bignews this week, but we’ve got a lot of exciting stuff across theboard, from the Choice Pass Program to American Airlines beingup. There’s a lot of exciting stuff out there.”(970) 641-0920 | 212 W.

Crested Butte News NEWSNovember 2, 2012 | 11Mt. CB distributes$270k in admissionstax grant fundsCrested Butte MountainResort gets $226,000 forairlines[ by Seth MenSing ]The Mt. Crested Butte TownCouncil turned $323,500 in admissionstax grant requests fromnine local groups and organizationsinto $270,000 in actualfunding for programs and marketingaimed at bringing morepeople to town during the winterseason. The biggest prize,a $226,000 grant, went to helpCrested Butte Mountain Resortpay for its part of airline serviceto the valley this winter.Crested Butte Lodging alsogot a significant share of the admissionstax dollars divvied upthis year. That organization wasawarded $24,000 of the $28,300it had requested for variousmarketing campaigns coveringColorado, Kansas, Texas andOklahoma.“Our earnedincome nearlyquadrupled thissummer over lastsummer.Katie MuellerTrailhead excecutivedirectorAdmissions tax dollars aregenerated through a 4 percenttax on the sale of event tickets,like those to ride the lifts or seea show, and the town hopes toinvest those dollars where theywill be likely to attract more peoplehere and generate more admissionstax dollars to enhanceactivities in town.The Town Council took alook at the nine requests forfunding in mid-September froma range of community groupshoping to get out the word abouttheir activities and events, althoughonly seven of the groupssent representatives to appeal forthe funds in person.The Adaptive Sports Center,which has been giving peoplewith disabilities the chance toparticipate in outdoor and adventureactivities in the GunnisonValley for the past 25 years,applied for a $7,500 grant to“increase awareness and participationfor the Adaptive SportsCenter,” according to its application.In the last two seasons alone,ASC has seen 65 percent growthin its programs, treating 573 peopleto a day in the life last year,totaling 5,058 activities. Currentprojections show the 2012 seasonwill see a 12 percent increase inactivity, according to the application,which will likely lead tomore sold lift tickets at CrestedButte Mountain Resort and moreadmissions tax for the town.“Marketing conducted bythe Adaptive Sports Center marketingteam during the fall of2012 will grow the number of individualstraveling to Mt. CrestedButte during the winter of2012-13,” the application notes.The council liked what it heardand offered the ASC $7,000 fortheir marketing plan.There was also a $3,000 grantapplication from Gunnison AreaRestorative Practices, whichtakes a group approach in “preventingand managing conflictand harmful behaviors,” amongpeople in the community.According to its application,GARP will use the money tobring as many as 450 people totown in late November for FreshTracks, a fundraiser that couldbring the organization $40,000in donations. It would also bringlocals and second-home ownersto town for the early days of theski season and the Thanksgivingholiday.“This will result in increasedrevenues from both the eventand the weekend to Mt. CrestedButte,” the application says, asmany do, to assure the councilthey would see some returns ontheir investment. Council decideda $2,000 investment would beenough.The Trailhead Children’sMuseum, located in the CBMRbase area, was another organizationthat lined up for admissionstax funds, applying for $3,500 tohelp pay for marketing effortsaimed at increasing attendanceat the museum and participationin programs yet again.Trailhead executive directorKatie Mueller wrote in the application,“Our earned incomenearly quadrupled this summerover last summer. More specifically,the Trailhead experienceddouble the amount of paidvisitors, double the amount ofmember visits and a significantincrease in summer program attendance.”Currently, Mueller wrote,the Trailhead serves about 10,000children and their families annually.If funded in full, the grantFOOD FUNDRAISER: Marchitelli’s Gourmet Noodle hosted the CBCS Fourth Grade Fundraiser on Thursday,October 25. photo by Lydia Sternwould have covered about 35percent of the Trailhead’s wintermarketing budget, but the councilopted to fund $3,000 of the requestthis year.Trimming a little off the topof each organization’s requestwas common for the Town Council,as the $4,000 request from theCrested Butte/Mt. Crested ButteChamber of Commerce for thiswinter’s Butte Bucks Programturned into a $3,000 grant.That program, entering itsthird season, “encourages localspending and stimulates the localeconomy with a direct, positiveand measurable impact onlocal businesses and local salestax,” chamber executive directorDan Marshal wrote the councilin the application.The same fate of scaled-backfunding fell on the Elk MountainsGrand Traverse, which requested$3,000 and got $1,500.The revamped Crested ButteSongwriter’s Festival, now backto life for a second year of bringinglive music and a few bignames in country music to thevalley for four days in January,got the $3,500 it requested.Mt. Crested Butte will makegrants from its admissions taxfund for the summer in March.Junior Nordic sign-up has begunAttention all interested Junior Nordic cross-country skiers:Sign up has started for all CBNT skiers, ages five through highschool.

12 | November 2, 2012 NEWSCrested Butte NewsMeet the candIdates for dIstrIcts 1 & 2gunnIson county coMMIssIonersBetween now and the end of election season (that’s now), the Crested Butte News is asking the six candidates for Gunnison County Commissioner questions related to issues in the community.We have requested they keep their answers to 400 words or less. Remember, all qualified county voters get to cast a ballot for one candidate in each district.We hope this forum has been helpful to voters before they mark their ballot...—Mark ReamanStu FerguSondiStrict 1 candidateWhat do you want to say tothose who haven’t yet voted?First, VOTE—Please. WhenI began to consider running forCommissioner, I started by askingwhat people felt was importantfor our County. I heard: It’s timefor change; it’s time to pursuepolicies to promote the diversityof economic growth available,policies that encourage existingbusinesses, flexibility for ourranching community to be profitable,sustainable agri-business.A survey conducted last yearasked, “Why do you do businessin Gunnison County?” One smallbusiness owner answered, “BecauseI can’t afford to leave.” PaulHolden’s remarkable study on theEconomy of Gunnison Countypoints out that small businessowners have only one-half theearning power today as comparedto thirty years ago. That is a hugered flag. I’ve contacted businessowners who considered locating inGunnison County but chose to locateelsewhere to understand thefactors that drove their decision.Their response: it is too expensiveto locate in Gunnison Countybecause of the cost of lengthyplanning processes, excessivefees and fighting to gain the flexibilityneeded to make a businessprofitable.Our current county commissionersfavored regulation overeconomic development for sevenof the past eight years. Economicdevelopment has emerged as anafterthought only in the last year.Economic opportunity will be a priorityfor me the entire time I serve.I bring a balanced approach to theissues facing Gunnison County.I came to Gunnison after servingin the Army to attend graduateschool at Western and like manyof you, I stayed to make this myhome for over 40 years. My careerwith the Police Department taughtme about leadership, responsibility,and especially about people.Studying public administration asa graduate student at Westerntaught me about government andpublic policy. My experience as asuccessful small business ownerduring good and tough timesadded real, “in the trenches” businessexperience. And, my experienceas Mayor of Gunnison foreight years allowed me to bring allthose things together to serve ourcommunity.During my tenure as Mayorwe developed a balanced “BigBox” policy for large retail, ourcommunity voted to build a swimmingpool, an awesome ice skatingarena, and to develop a trailssystem all of which contribute toour quality of life and economicenvironment. We tackled the challengeof Gunnison Rising Annexationtogether through consensus.I can bring change in a positive,inclusive manner. Thank You.Give me three people you’dlike to share a ride with on theSilver Queen and one you’dwant to share a T-bar ride with...Silver Queen—anyone Ihaven’t met previously. T-Bar—anyone who won’t knock medown.Steve SchechterdiStrict 1 candidateWhat do you want to say tothose who haven’t yet voted?I have been the ideas candidatein the District One race. Myplatform includes increasing energyefficiency and producing more localenergy from our abundant renewablesources. Both measures aimto keep more money in people’spockets, which can then be spentlocally for increased business activity.The same is true for more localfood production, which keeps ourgrocery money from escaping thecounty. I have a campaign plankpromoting a county off-highwaypaved recreation trail system fromCrested Butte to Gunnison to CurecantiPark. We could leverage OpenSpace money for GOCO funds topurchase easements and build thesystem. I have advocated for theRTA to begin a pilot program to busskiers in from Front Range communitiesand DIA. High priced seatsinto the Gunnison airport discouragemiddle-class skiers from flyinghere. To encourage more visitorsof every kind I would like to see anupgrade to the Gunnison-CrestedButte website with digital videos ofthe myriad activities in our valley toexcite and hook viewers.Retiring commissioner HapChannel, in his letter in last week’spaper, argues that only PaulaSwenson has the knowledge andexperience to keep the Countyrunning smoothly. Past countycommissioners learned their jobswithout the government imploding.We have experienced senior countystaff with institutional knowledgeand experience to keep the Countyrunning smoothly. County Commissionersset policy and direct ourlocal government. From the boardson which I currently serve, I havea record of learning quickly and alwaysbeing prepared, including doingmy own independent research.I have studied Colorado’s complexwater laws; I have become a studentof REA financing, governanceand technology. These subjects areas complex as county governance,if not more so.Forty percent of GunnisonCounty’s registered voters are unaffiliated;in three-way commissionerraces, they have more choice,and can actually elect candidatesoutside of the two-party system.No one knows how this election willturn out. Don’t let someone elsemake your decision for you. I askevery citizen to vote their aspirationsand dreams, not their fears,so that we can move forward toinvest in ourselves and our communities.Give me three people you’d liketo share a ride with on the SilverQueen and one you’d want toshare a T-Bar ride with...While Stu, Paula, Jon, andWarren ride the quad, Polly and Iwill T-bar to the steeps. We will allmeet up later to debate our day.Paula SwenSondiStrict 1 candidateWhat do you want to say tothose who haven’t yet voted?First and foremost, I would liketo thank my opponents in this racefor the upstanding job they haveboth done.

European liquorbottles come in sizes different fromthose found on American shelvesand the information on the labelisn’t just in Italian—it’s also differentinformation.Then there is the problem offinding a distributor in Europe interestedin stocking your product,and that came to Montanya bychance.An Italian distributor waslooking for the best American rumand enlisted the help of the largestonline database related to rum inthe world. That’s the Ministry ofRum.“This company hired the Ministerof Rum, who is an Americangentleman with the most comprehensivedatabase of rum on theInternet,” Hoskin says. “They hiredhim to recommend rums for theirportfolio and Montanya, he said,was best North American rum.”But as Hoskin has discovered,“Not all distributors are createdequally,” and she went aboutconducting the necessary diligencebefore committing to an expensivetrip to Italy to meet the distributorin person. At the same time, theItalian distributor was checking outMontanya.“Usually you can detect redflags early on if there’s not goingto be a great fit [with a distributor].The Italian distributor was hard forme, because it’s risky, financially, forus to put out money to go to Italyfor something that might not be agood fit,” Hoskin says. “So it wasvery overwhelming until I cameacross this grant program.”The program, administeredby COEDIT under the U.S. SmallBusiness Administration, gave outgrants totaling almost $55,000 to 13small businesses around the statethat wanted to expand their operationsinternationally. And while thegrant Montanya got wasn’t much, itwas enough to partially take the riskout of the trip to Italy, which Hoskinhopes to take soon.“Once we have a launchingPoetry competition at Montanyapad in Europe it will be a lot easierto go through the process of changingpackaging and getting samplesto other distributors,” she says.“There’s a lot of recognition andappreciation for American whiskeyand bourbon in Italy and Europeas a whole, so that has really pavedthe way. And there isn’t muchrum being produced in Europe, soEuropean countries are accustomedto importing rum.”And as the word “Montanya”means “mountain” in almost everyRomance language, the spirit ofMontanya Rum will translate easilyin Europe. But the product itself isstill, and will continue to be, somethingmore to the town of CrestedButte.It will mean new jobs. “Volumewill ramp up slowly but we’realready distilling six days a weekto meet current demand and we’llhave to increase distilling shifts,”Hoskin says. “It will also meanmore income to this community.We want to be more of a primaryemployer where we’re creating newwages and new wealth in this community.That’s long been a missionin our community. If we can startshipping rum all over the worldwe’ll continue to bring new incometo town.”photos by Lydia SternTownie Books and Montanya Distillers invite poets and poetry lovers to Money for Nothing—Poetry forFree.

Meredith, traces the history of theCrystal River Valley south of Carbondaleand the surrounding area (as far south asGunnison and Crested Butte) from 1879to 1930, through the eyes of one man andhis family.Based on a local legend that as theUte Indians were being driven from thearea to reservations in the southwesternpart of Colorado, a Ute Holy Manplaced a curse on the valley, the novelexplores the trials and tribulations, themining boom and bust, and the variousattempts of men to use the valley fortheir own ends, often with failure asthe result.The novel also explores the early historyof Aspen and Glenwood Springs and theremote towns of the Crystal Valley includingSchofield, Crystal City and Marble.The idyllic town of Redstone, along withits founder and benefactor, J. C. Osgood, is asignificant part of the novel.This Cursed Valley has been a popular readsince its publication in 2002. It was originallyissued by a Denver publishing company.Meredith recently re-acquired the rights tothe novel and formed a new publishing company,Raspberry Creek Books, Ltd. to publishthis book and several others by a number ofauthors who are primarily Colorado writers.This Cursed Valley is the first book to be issuedby his company, which will soon issue otherbooks, mainly by area writers and other Coloradoauthors.The name of the publishing companycomes from Raspberry Creek near Marble,which borders property Meredith and hiswife, Alley, have owned for a number ofyears.“The novel has remained popular over theyears,” Meredith said, “and I felt it was timefor an update and a new version.”The 10th anniversary edition includessome material that was not published in theoriginal version.It also features an introduction by AnneHillerman of Santa Fe, the daughter of famednovelist Tony Hillerman.The book will soon be available in e-bookform for the Kindle.A few years ago Meredith retired fromhis position as assistant to the president anddirector of public relations for Western StateColorado University in Gunnison and has recentlybeen executive director of the GunnisonCounty Library District.Meredith’s entire family is involved inthe new firm. His daughter, Suzanne, and herhusband, Denny, former Crystal Valley residents,now live in Tulsa, Okla. Son Greg Meredithand his family—wife, Tina, and childrenJack and Lauren—live south of Carbondale.Meredith said the book was completelyre-designed which allowed him to decreasethe page count from 576 to a little more than400, even while adding some previously unpublishedmaterial.The novel debuted in 2002 to critical acclaimfrom the Denver Post, which said it was“action-packed enough to be read in hourslong,chapter-absorbing chunks. The curseand its effects... make up a page-turner, nightlight-burnerof a Western saga. When the lastpage is turned, a reader is left wondering ifthe curse still brings trouble and calamity tothose who would use the Crystal River Valleyfor self-serving ends.”Author Jon Chandler of Denver said,“This novel of the West embraces the pioneerexperience with wit, intelligence, and extraordinaryhistorical detail...this is a broad, richnovel; a novel to be savored.”A second novel by Meredith dealing withland use issues has been completed and he isworking on a biography of a long-time moviestuntman who has appeared in hundreds offilms and television productions and who, fora number of films, was John Wayne’s double.He also doubled, and worked with, such starsas Clark Gable, Rock Hudson, Tom Selleck,Sam Elliot, Fess Parker, Gregory Peck andmany others.This Cursed Valley is available at theTownie Book Store in Crested Butte, at theBook Worm in Gunnison and at other areabookstores.

Whiletwo of her seven runners had uncharacteristically toughraces at the 2A state championships in Colorado Springs onSaturday, October 27, five Titans left it all out on the courseand the boys team returned to thepodium for the second year in a row,placing third.The lead-up to the state championshipswas smooth for the CrestedButte Titans. After a strong showing atregionals, the team had seven days ofworkouts to prepare for the final raceof the year. The team previewed thecourse at a race in August, so both thecoaching staff and runners knew whatto expect.“The pre-state workouts wentreally well,” says Hayden. “Thecourse has hills, twists and turns soour focus was on hill work and theskill of changing gears. We worked onmaking definitive passes and strategybuilding. The kids were in primecondition when they toed the line onSaturday.”The boys’ team won the state titlein 2011 but lost two of the top threerunners from that title team. Nevertheless,the boys, specifically captainsForrest Smith, Kyle Boyle and DannyD’Aquila, were determined to prove their ilk and their legitimacyas one of the top programs in the state—and theydid so last Saturday.“They totally exceeded all expectations,” says Hayden.“The three captains worked their butts off.”It was Smith’s third trip to the state championships.Last year he finished 10th and he started the 2012 seasonwith his eyes on a state title. Unfortunately, as injuries andillnesses (including being sick the week before the staterace) plagued him during the season, Smith scaled downhis goal to a top-10 finish this year and reached it, placingseventh.After his typical conservative start, Smith made hismove into seventh place on his way up a brutal climb midwaythrough the race.“That hill is a deal breaker,” says Hayden. “Kids weredropping off like flies.”Ultimately, the key to Smith’s success came on thedownhill, as he maintained his pace and place into the flatsand across the finish line.“People were just flying down the hill,” says Hayden.“He had to pound it down the hill and he did just that.”Danny D’Aquila tested the waters of the state championshipslast year, finishing 34th. This year the plan wasto crack top 20 but it wasn’t until the final stretch that hemanaged to hit his goal.D’Aquila was in 25th place at the top of “the hill” andworked the downhill perfectly to stay in stride and keephis breathing consistent. From there he managed to pick offeight more runners to finish in 17th place.“He was determined,” says Hayden. “He has amazingturnover and cadence and he just used that to his advantage.”With the top three runners scoring points for the teamat the state championships, the final push for the Titans tothe podium came from freshman Aiden Truettner.Truettner put the finishing touches on a spectacularbreakout season. Every week he stepped up his game,culminating with a 26 th -place finish at state.“He just embraced the state atmosphere,” saysHayden. “He was just running with the intention of gettingto the finish line as fast as he could. It was an awesomeeffort.”But it didn’t end there for the Titans effort as KyleBoyle and Jack Duryea also put in their best efforts of theseason in the final race.It was Boyle’s second trip to the big show and he washoping for a top-30 finish the second time around. Afteran aggressive start, Boyle settled inthe pack until the final stretch, whenhe made one last push to hit his goaland place 29th.“He used his sprinting legs tomake a few final passes at the end,”says Hayden.Meanwhile, Duryea closed hisseason finishing in 51st place, shavingclose to a minute off the time heran on the same course in August.Senior Amber Scott had a roughclose to her prolific high school careerat the state championships.Scott came into the race thetop-ranked runner in 2A and had finishedin ninth place as a sophomoreand fourth place as a junior.“She was definitely gunning forthe title,” says Hayden.But 400 meters into the race,something mysterious and devastatinghappened.“I felt great the morning of thecourtesy photosrace but as soon as I started, I didn’tfeel that good,” says Scott. “I startedout like I normally start out but mylegs just didn’t loosen up. Everythingwas just tight and it hurt.”Despite her struggles, Scott pushed through to crossthe finish line in fifth place overall.“Fifth was hard to get to, but it’s impressive to meconsidering how I was feeling,” says Scott. “I’ll take whatI got.”Scott attributes her struggle to a number of issuesleading up to the race including her fueling the day before,possible dehydration, and the onset of personal pressure.“I’ve been under pressure before but not self-inflictedpressure,” says Scott. “I didn’t have a bad race all season soI was due a bad race.

Unfortunately, things did not go asplanned.The Titans lost a tough five-set matchto Antonito on Friday, October 19, whichdropped the team to seventh place in theleague and forced them to hit the road to facethe sixth-place Sierra Grande Panthers inBlanca for the first district match.The format of the first round of districtvolleyball is simple: win and move on to thedistrict tournament; lose and the season isover. Earlier in the season, the Titans lost tothe Panthers for the first time in team historyin four sets. A six-versus-seven match-upshould have provided a fun match for playersand fans who made the trek, but to steal avictory in the tough Panther pit would provea difficult challenge.The tempo of the night was establishedin the first set with countless extended ralliesand great effort by the Panthers and Titans.The players understood what was at stake andthe Titans rolled out strong with a victory inthe first set 25-18. Sophomore Brittany Barefieldput on a serving show in the first set andserved seven of the Titans’ points.The Titans fell off in the next set givingup some easy points, losing 13-25 but battledagain to win the third set 25-20. Changingsides of the court was beginning to appear abit of a jinx because the Titans dropped thefourth set 17-25.Now it would all come down to a fifthand final set to determine who would continuethe season and who be done for the year.The final set consisted of even longer ralliesand side out after side out for both teams.After the first five players rotated through theservice line the Titans had a slight 9-6 edge.The sixth Panther server proved troublesome,though. All set the Titans held the Panthersto no more than two points in a rally, butthis time the Titans dropped six gut-wrenchingpoints in a row to fall behind 9-12. Refusingto fold, the Titans continued to battle backto 11-13 before losing the final set 12-15 whichphotos by Jeff Ewertput an end to the season with an 8-11 record.Appropriately, in the final set senior cocaptainSara Sherman had eight blocks andled the teams with six kills. As a hint of thefuture, several younger players stepped upand played hard all match. Junior Ali McGuireplayed a consistent match with attacking andonly two hitting errors and also providedsolid passing throughout the match. JuniorsMonika Olesen and Suzanna Dumas each hadfour blocks and four kills. Defensive specialistjunior Rosie Ewert passed and dug ball afterball in the extended rallies to keep the Titansalive throughout the season.Looking ahead, the graduation of seniorsCassidy Dodds and Sara Sherman, each withthree years of starting varsity experience, willbe felt. Still, seven of the 12 Titan varsity playersearned their first varsity volleyball lettersthis season. Furthermore, the coaches utilizeda number of younger players in a variety ofpositions and line-ups throughout the seasonto give them key varsity experience early on.If the players mentally decide to convertthat experiencethey canset the tone fornext season.With continuedcommitment inthe off season,mental focusand determination,theTitan volleyballprogram shouldcontinue tomove forwardin their goals tobeing a competitiveteamin the SouthernPeaks League.Native American Heritage Month at WSCUNative American StudentCouncil has put together anexciting lineup of free eventshonoring Native AmericanHeritage Month this November,including a presentationon Native Americans andthe Civil War on Thursday,November 1.

It just wasn’t Amber’s day. It’s just totally inexplicable.”Scott tallied three top-10 state finishes over her high school career and will continue her season withthe Nike regional championships in Arizona in November and then at the collegiate level next year.“She’s definitely developed a very nice progression,” says Hayden. “It was not the finish she envisionedbut it was an incredibly accomplished high school career.”Freshman Tara Mortell, strangely enough, had a similar circumstance in her first race at the statechampionships. After a strong opening mile, Mortell got to the top of the infamous hill and was gaspingfor air, forcing her to stop altogether. She pressed on to finish the race but was never able to get her windback the entire time.“It was the first time in her running career where she just couldn’t breathe,” says Hayden. “The factthat she did finish is just a testament to her will and determination.”In the end Hayden was blown away by the boys’ team third-place finish.“Every single kid needed to have his race of a lifetime and they did,” says Hayden. “They simply ranout of their minds.”courtesy photosWINTER VISITOR’S GUIDE2012-2013The leaves are changing and the air is becoming crisp!It’s time to start planning your winter advertising goals.The Crested Butte News can help!Our annual Winter Visitor’s Guide is a popular and useful tool with which to promote your business, sell real estate and get the word out for special events.In addition to an early-season mailing to every subscriber, we will distribute more than 10,000 of these informative guides all over the East River Valley,replenishing them throughout the summer and early fall season.

30 | November 2, 2012 Crested Butte News20 years ago todayBy LyNda JaCksoN petitoEditor Ervin presents presidentialendorsementThe October 30, 1992 issueof The Chronicle & Pilotwas filled with endorsements,including newspaper editorLee H. Ervin’s endorsementfor president of these UnitedStates. Under the heading“Vote your self interest,” Ervinendorsed Bill Clinton andAl Gore, over George H.W.Bush/Dan Quayle and RossPerot/James Stockdale. Hereare some excerpts from thatendorsement:We are the hollow menWe are the stuffed men.Leaning togetherHeadpieces filled with straw.—T.S. ElliotOne of the more curiousitems to emerge from theincreasingly nasty politicallandscape a week before thiselection, is the fact that theRepublicans have managedto electronically slice off TedKennedy’s big Irish head andplop it down upon Al Gore’ssmaller, environmentally-correctbody. On TV, Ted Kennedy’shead smiles as Al Gore’shand joins that of GovernorClinton’s held high in a victorysalute.To ask why the Republicanselectronically moved Sen.Kennedy of Massachusetts’head on top of Al Gore of Tennessee’sbody is not a happyinquiry. It plunges us into themean-spirited world of manipulationand mind controlwhere the Republican presidentialcampaign attemptsto manufacture sleaze, scumand excrement and hurl it onthe opposition. The idea is, ofcourse, to make the electorateuneasy, distrustful and afraid.It was never an ethical ormoral tactic but it has workedin the past. The good news thisyear is that few are buying intothe politics of fear. The resultson Election Day will announceour concern as a nation toevolve and move forward.George Bush will be defeatedby the biggest plurality of anysitting American president inthe 20th century. Like the Texasgovernor, Ann Richards, said acouple of weeks ago, “Stick afork in him. He’s done.” Not amoment too soon.Who needs leaders whoserecord of governance is sodismal that they must peddlefear and distortion, electronicand otherwise, to remain inpower? Are we to surmise thatleaders like George Bush andhis patrician handler, JamesBaker, are really good, compassionate,thoughtful, kind,caring individuals when thecampaign they conduct reeksof innuendo and negativity?Do we believe that these negativemen are positive leaders?We might as well believe thatdark is light and that pollutionis nourishment. Voltaire wrote,“If we believe absurdities, weshall commit atrocities,” andindeed we have.This election is not justabout economics, it is aboutshifting the direction and attitudeof America away fromhate, fear, war, dominance, dishonestyand avarice towardspeace, hope, quality, compassion,fairness and equality.This is a big-time election.The Mountain Theatre elected a new board of directors in October1992. The new board consisted of (sitting on stairs, l to r) KathleenRoss, RJ Harrington and Diane Markowitz, along with (standing, lto r) Kathy Murry, Will Bryan, Sam Sibley, Dana Dyer and theatermanager Cindy Petito. photo by Mark ReamanScuba diver Doug Tomes (left) is given some expert advice from Al Maunz before he dives into NicholsonLake in this photo from the October 23, 1992 issue of the newspaper. Tomes was looking for a whiskeywagon that legend said had sunk to the bottom at the turn of the 20th century. He also was looking to seethe bottom of the lake—both he and Maunz were disappointed that he found neither. photo by Mark ReamanTwo comparatively youngmen, baby boomers, childrenof the 60s if you will, standpoised to assume leadershipof this country. Bill Clintonat 45 brings the faults of any45-year-old. He also brings,with his quest for power, atleast a stated position and animplied and seemingly genuinepassion to heal and helpAmerica. A vote for GovernorClinton is at the least a vote forhope and renewal in a nationwhich desperately cries out forboth.Ross Perot? His mainvirtue is that he is not GeorgeBush. He appears, however, tohave an almost paranoid fascinationwith plots, surveillanceand authoritarian control. This,coupled with the fact that firsthe is a candidate, then he’snot, now he is again, make usmore than nervous about theTexas billionaire who wants toclimb under the hood and “fixit.”On November 3, we aregoing to join an overwhelmingmajority in the country andvote for Governor Clinton andSenator Gore. But with ourvote will also be a prayer forequality, peace and healing inthis nation and on this earth.In short, we are going to voteprotecting and preservingCrested Butte Newstrails, scenic vistas, wildlife habitat, working rancheswww.Crestedbuttenews.ComAdvertise to theWorldseverAl options AvAilAbleContact Jill: (970) 349-0500 x110jill@crestedbuttenews.comcrested butte land trustwww.cblandtrust.orgdirector@cblandtrust.org970.349.1206photograph by: rebecca weil
