Members of the “Rainbow Family” were spotted outside the Third Street Center on July 21 offering coffee, tea and soup to strangers. These travelers are preparing for Lughnasadh, a regional, non-commercial Rainbow Gathering, in a nearby forest in early August.

Homelessness
The City of Glenwood Springs will host a virtual town hall on homelessness this Thursday, July 24 from 6 to 7pm. Officials will share information and take questions about encampments, fire concerns, intervention efforts, law enforcement and resources. Community members are invited to learn more and submit questions ahead of time at www.gwsco.info/homelessness

Mounted patrol
The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office announced Monday, July 21 they will be reinstating a “mounted patrol unit” with deputies on horseback. Advantages cited include: enhanced visibility (seeing over crowds and obstructions), crowd control, maneuverability in difficult terrain, community engagement and public relations. Rather than ask the Commissioners for a budget increase, the Sheriff’s Office is attempting to raise funds through donations (givebutter.com/MPU) which will be matched by Alpine Bank. 

Two Rivers Connect
The new Two Rivers Connect platform invites commuters, employers and visitors throughout the Colorado River and Roaring Fork valleys to explore and adopt new ways of getting around. By downloading the app and logging trips, you can earn prizes like e-bikes, lift tickets and gift cards. This year-round initiative intends to help organize carpools and more. Find details at www.cleanenergyeconomy.net/tworiversconnect or @tworiversconnect on Instagram. 

Public radio funding
On Friday, July 18, Congress voted to rescind $1.1 billion in previously approved funding for public media. This decision will deeply affect local radio stations including KDNK, Aspen Public Radio and Colorado Public Radio. As KDNK informed its supporters on Monday, the elimination of federal funding cuts $174,000 from that station’s annual budget. Aspen Public Radio will lose approximately $210,000. Both were anticipating federally allocated but not yet distributed funds in 2025 and now rely on increased community support to bridge the gap. 

Conservation watch
“The budget reconciliation bill that President Trump just signed into law, alongside aggressive deregulatory actions affecting our bedrock environmental laws, are a coordinated effort to cut the public out of public land management decisions,” conservation advocacy nonprofit Wilderness Workshop told supporters in a July 22 newsletter. They describe how the “One Big Beautiful Bill” includes provisions that reduce or eliminate public participation, stripping the Bureau of Land Management’s authority to remove oil and gas parcels from lease sales, for example.

High Lonesome 100
Carbondale’s Jeff Colt (34) earned first place competing in the High Lonesome 100 race this past weekend with a finish time of 18 hours, 52 minutes —  over an hour ahead of second place. The High Lonesome 100 is a 100-mile endurance race in the Sawatch Range crossing five mountain passes with a total of 23,500 feet of vertical gain (all by foot). Colt beat the previous course record by 50 minutes and told The Sopris Sun: “We are more capable than we think we are, and for me that’s all about the we — my support system and my community based in Carbondale, showing up for me and helping me reach my goals.” 

Giving Network grants
Aspen Community Foundation’s Giving Network recently awarded $675,000 to 18 local nonprofits supporting mental health, basic needs and children and families. The Giving Network pools philanthropist funds to allocate large grants for meaningful impact. Learn more at www.giving-network.org

Basalt infrastructure
The Town of Basalt received a $573,200 grant from the Colorado Department of Transportation for a project improving pedestrian safety along a .2-mile stretch of Two Rivers Road adjacent to the middle and elementary schools. ADA accessible sidewalks, bike lanes, flashing signals and enhanced lighting are among the planned improvements. Design ideas originated with a local Girl Scout troop doing a volunteer project, which the Town expanded upon with temporary changes highlighting new possibilities. 

Wolf conflict manager
Following the Colorado Parks (CPW) and Wildlife Commission meeting on July 17, the agency announced that to further efforts to mitigate and minimize livestock depredation, it plans to hire a wolf damage and conflict minimization manager in the near future. The statewide leadership position will oversee both CPW’s Wolf Damage Program and its Wolf Conflict Minimization Program. 

They say it’s your birthday!

About 70 people lined the sidewalks around Glenwood Springs’ Centennial Park on July 17 in honor of the late John Lewis, a U.S. representative and civil rights activist who died July 17, 2020. It was part of a nationwide “Good Trouble Lives On” day of action. Lewis marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama for voting rights, joined the Freedom Riders through the Deep South in the 1960s, organized lunch counter sit-ins and marched on Washington with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965. Protestors last week told The Sopris Sun that they were tired of the Trump Administration and worried about its impacts on their lives. The Glenwood protest was organized by the Garfield County Democrats. Photo by Amy Hadden Marsh
