Also, in “Pollinator Conservancy abuzz with intention,” Carbondale’s Pollinator Protection Resolution was mistakenly referred to as a “plan.” Re: Ps&QsCongratulations to Jeannie Perry on 20 years of reminding us to mind our Ps and Qs.

Re: Sopris SunIt was quite an eye-opener on Thursday, June 19 when I picked up my Sopris Sun and found the cover page blank. Each Thursday I look forward to picking up my favorite newspaper, The Sopris Sun. I confess I am guilty of taking advantage of this “free” situation that gives me so much […]

In the course of doing that work, I sought answers to three questions: 1. Why is the Town doing a fundraiser for its pool? 2. What is “building electrification?” 3. Why is the […]
