March 2014

With the CCAH fashion show on the horizon, those of us at The Sopris Sun thought Carbondale’s sense of everyday fashion was worth a closer look. We are already keenly aware of the cultural mix that fills our nest of a town, but do the social, professional, political, and age spectrums somehow lose their delineations with how we present ourselves? Perhaps we can attribute the looming Mount Sopris, which has come to represent us, with lending a sense of personal power to the very air we breathe.

March 31 marks the final deadline for individuals and families to enroll in a health care plan under the new Afford- able Care Act. While many Carbondale residents have sifted through their op- tions, others have yet to wade through the state system or make a decision on their health plan.

The Roaring Fork School District is organizing another round of community meetings in Carbondale, Basalt and Glen- wood Springs as part of the district’s on- going visioning process.
The Carbondale meeting will be held on March 12 at 6 p.m. at Crystal River Elementary School.
