Potter an Aspen Glen one-of-a-kind
When folks think of Aspen Glen, south of Carbondale, they usually think of big houses, a beautiful golf course, two miles of the Roaring Fork River running through it, and guarded gates that keep gawkers from meandering through on Sunday afternoon drives. Folks usually don’t think of Aspen Glen as being home to a professional potter who creates hundreds of pots, vases and other ceramic works-of-art in a studio attached to his home. read more → -

After plenty of practice in December tournaments, Roaring Fork High School basketball is back from holiday break with the first league games of the season on the road this week. The boys got off to a rocky start last month with a 50-49 loss to Steamboat Springs in the Brenda Patch Tournament. The Rams haven’t lost a game since then, and even notched a narrow victory over Northglenn, a school with more than five times RFHS's enrollment. “Our tournament games allowed us to play against teams we didn't know and made us make game adjustments, which the team did well,” observed head coach Larry Williams. read more →
