Baker decision incompetentEditor’s Note: This letter was also sent tothe Carbondale Board of Town Trustees.

Dear Editor:John, Elizabeth, Ed and Stacey, in my

opinion your vote against renewing TomBaker’s contract is a flagrant display of selfserving, prejudicial, incompetent decision-making skills. It shows a total disregard forthe community’s interests, needs and wishes.

This vote and other recent positions youhave taken undermine my confidence inyour abilities to make fair, equitable or rea-sonable decisions as town trustees.

It is disappointing and discouraging hav-ing you serving as governing representativeof our community.

Kathy ZentmyerCarbondale

Time to change the trusteesDear Editor:

In response to the recent failure to renewCarbondale Town Manager Tom Baker’scontract, perhaps the question should be,“What is the real change that needs to bemade in Carbondale?”

After Stacey Bernot’s comment that “it istime for a change,” and commentary fromboth current trustee John Foulkrod and pasttrustee Brad Hendricks (emphasize past) thatthis is purely “a personnel issue, not a publicissue,”I would venture to say that the changessupported by the town citizens are those thatwill give us sustainability and a reinforcementof Carbondale’s distinct character; in otherwords, we favor the changes that Tom Bakerwas working towards.These are changes thatwould bring us up to date with policies al-ready enacted in communities like Basalt,much to the disagreement of those councilmembers voting against him.By this, I am re-ferring to an adherence to the “no big box”mentality that was succinctly shot down twiceby voters and a previous council with thebacking of a two-year public process createdby Baker and consultants who indicated thata mall cannot be economically supported.Thefour town council members who wereadamantly fighting againstTom Baker and hispublic process to find a viable alternative tothe“big box”(John Foulkrod, Stacey Bernot,Elizabeth Murphy and Ed Cortez) are all ve-hemently in favor of commercial develop-ment, mitigating development/builder fees(Foulkrod and Cortez are in this line of work)and going against the public who they repre-

A Meister Bräu with Cousin EddyAs I look around at the state of the world this holiday season I am amazed at the price

for a cup of holiday cheer. I realize some things never change (“The rich get richer and thepoor get children.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald), but you’d think once a year the richest 1 percentcould muster a little generosity and put a little something in the kids’ stockings. Of courseback in the day (like pagan times back) it was necessary to have a lot of children because keep-ing the home fires burning took a hell of a lot more work than two people could accomplish.

But nowadays we live in a fa-la-la-land of consumerism and joy; complete with auto-mated parallel parking vehicles hauling dead trees around like deer carcasses. The notion ofgoodwill towards man is overshadowed by how much you can purchase and stuff in your

sleigh.And yet every year I survive the merriment. Like a com-pulsive gambler at the dog track I always find a way – all Iwant for Christmas is to get off this merry-go-round of mate-rialism wrapped up with a faux deeper-meaning-bow.Accord-ing to the commercials we treat ourselves to shiny rocks and airfreshener and industrial-kitchen-made cake, but we’ve forgot-ten the whole reason for the season – to share.

Every time I see a diamond commercial I think of SierraLeone, where 75 percent of the country’s population is under25 years old and they’ve grown up in war. I think of youngboys carrying rifles and one boy in particular whose handswere cut off with a machete. I want advertisers to show thetruth about these stones: how many there really are and thefact that you’re spending hard-earned money on a rock that’sas common as a river stone.The hype may cost us our integrity,but it costs others their lives.

Every time I see a commercial for Lysol or Febreze I think of the Shaw cancer center inEdwards. The amount of people who’ve gotten and are getting cancer astounds me, butwhat’s even more amazing is the amount of money it brings in. We’re actually buying it forour families for Christmas. Chemicals in our food, plastic in our water, we even bring it homein cans and spray bottles and time-release vials that plug into the wall. I can’t believe we’rewilling to die for that simulated pine fresh scent.

And then there are my favorites, the Safeway commercials where the ornaments talk toeach other. There’s a unicorn, a Russian nutcracker soldier, a mouse, etc. all hanging around(literally) the Christmas tree. One of the ornaments is going on and on about true love in acutesy mini-mouse voice when the unicorn pipes up,“True love is a myth.”Silence.Then themini-mouse voice responds,“You’re a myth.”The real myth is that we can have it all and stillmaintain a healthy homestead. The truth is that preparing and handling homemade food isa full-time job. So if American households have both parents going to work 40 hours a week,that leaves little Johnny little choice but to eat Chef Boyarcancer. (But once we run out of oiland the trucking industry shuts down I think cancer rates will plummet as people will be eat-ing more raw foods in their natural state, i.e., not boxed, canned or deli-prepared.)

So, to let some of the steam out of the pressure cooker that is Christmas, this year we’vedecided to celebrate Boxing Day instead. Boxing Day is an old tradition.As long as there havebeen rich and poor there has been the tradition of wrapping up stuff lying around the castleand taking it down the lane to share with thy neighbor. Instead of shopping for everyone onmy list, we’re getting together to prepare and eat good food and drink. (Which we’re muchbetter at than any of those other pagan traditions like driving around looking for a parkingspace or spray-painting fake snow on a wreath.) I’d much rather drink a Meister Bräu withCousin Eddie than unwrap a tennis bracelet that cost someone else his wrist. (The rooftopswon’t be the only thing getting lit up this year – Cheers!)

By Terray SylvesterThe Sopris Sun

It wasn’t until she had paid her respects tothe embalmed corpse of Kim Jong-il’s fatherthat Secretary of State Madeleine Albrightwas granted a meeting with the mercurialNorth Korean leader.

In that meeting and the meetings that fol-lowed, which took place in the waningmonths of the second Clinton administration,U.S.negotiators were able to convince NorthKorea to implement a “moratorium on theirmissiles,” Albright said. She and her teamwere also working on a deal under which thecommunist state would have agreed not toexport its nuclear technology abroad.

But according toAlbright, the progress theU.S. made with North Korea during hertenure as secretary of state was neglected bythe Bush administration.

In November the New York Times re-ported that North Korea has likely sold 19missiles to Iran in the last half decade.

Madeleine Albright spoke Tuesdayevening to a packed house at the ThunderRiver Theatre, offering a presentation thatwas partly a primer on recent U.S. foreignpolicy and partly a reflection on the role ofthe U.S. abroad from someone who helpedshape it.Albright became the first female sec-retary of state in 1997, after having served aspermanent representative to the United Na-tions since 1993, among other posts.

Her presentation rounded out the secondseries of speakers hosted by the Roaring ForkCultural Council, which in the past hasbrought to Carbondale figures such as for-mer Goldman Sachs chairman Robert Steeleand former CEO of CNN Walter Isaacson.

Albright roundly criticized U.S. foreignpolicy under President George W. Bush on

Tuesday night.“I don’t want to blame everything on the

Bush administration, but the bottom line isthey did not go forward with any of the stuffwe left on the table,” she said, while dis-cussing the current tension on the Koreanpeninsula and the latent possibility of a nu-clear attack from the North.“We were in themiddle of negotiations. … What is happen-ing now is dangerous and we don’t quiteknow why it’s happening.”

She called the recent Iraq war a mistake.“I hate to say this because there have been

so many sacrifices by our military in Iraq,but… I think it was one of the greatest disastersin American foreign policy because it did somuch damage to our reputation in so manyways,” she said.

Albright argued the Iraqi leader, SaddamHussein, had been “boxed in” by no-flyzones and economic sanctions when Presi-dent Bush took office. She thought the U.S.should have pursued a diplomatic route,pushing for inspectors to be allowed backinto the country. Instead, the Iraq war di-verted the nation’s resources from the placeit should have been focused in the wake ofthe 9-11 attacks: Afghanistan.

“I do think that President Bush wasabsolutely right in retaliating againstAfghanistan,” Albright stated.

Albright spoke on more recent foreignpolicy developments as well.

On the ongoing leaks of diplomatic cablesand other government documents through theWeb site Wikileaks, she said,“It is destructiveto the fabric of how diplomacy works.”

Albright noted that diplomatic cables arejust one source of many used by the U.S. tocraft foreign policy, and she asserted the leaks

The Carbondale board of trustees voted4-3 not to renew town manager Tom Baker’scontract at their meeting on Dec.15.After themeeting, trustees were reluctant to discusstheir decision in detail due to the confiden-tiality of personnel issues, but some generalpoints of view emerged.

Mayor Stacey Bernot, who voted againstthe motion to renew Baker’s contract, said theissue of $88,000 in uncollected use taxes ear-

lier this year played in her decision,but so didother factors.Bernot said she questioned howBaker could be effective in his role based onthe information she had.“His past perform-ance was a factor in my decision,” she said.

Trustee Pam Zentmyer, who voted to re-tain Baker, called the board’s decision “irra-tional.” She said Baker has done an“overwhelmingly good job”in the big picture,but that the little picture (such as the use taxissue) was overblown.Zentmyer also creditedBaker and town finance director Nancy Bar-

nett for guiding the town through a rougheconomic climate the past two years.

“We’ve had unbelievable leadershipthrough the haze of the recent economy,”she said.

Voting against the motion to retain Bakerwere Bernot, John Foulkrod, Elizabeth Mur-phy and Ed Cortez. Voting to renew Baker’scontract were Zentmyer, Frosty Merriott andJohn Hoffmann.

The town hired Baker in 2004 and he wason his second three-year contract.

Bernot said the town manager role hastwo components: to manage staff and imple-ment the policies of the trustees. She didn’telaborate but said not all the credit for suc-cesses in the past can be attributed to Baker,but not everything that’s gone wrong is hisfault either.

Zentmyer and Bernot agree the trusteeshad a lot on their plate even before Baker’scontract wasn’t renewed, including the on-going Village at Crystal River review, an up-coming comprehensive plan/zoning coderewrite, and figuring out whether to replace

Carbondale jewelry maker TanyaBlack was recently commissioned tocraft a brooch for Madeleine Albright,former U.S. Secretary of State and am-bassador to the United Nations.

Albright, who spoke Tuesday in Car-bondale, is perhaps the world’s most fa-mous aficionado of brooches. Hermemoir, “Read My Pins: Stories From ADiplomat’s Jewelry Box,” recounts hercareer, her affection forpins and brooches andtheir very real role inher diplomacy.

Jewelry plays a simi-larly important role inBlack’s working life.Themother of two girlsfound her way fouryears ago to Carbondaleand a place as artist-in-residence at ColoradoRocky Mountain Schoolwhere she helped in theirsilversmithing depart-ment while also teachingart, dance and BirthingFrom Within classes inarea art centers. Re-cently, she relocated toStudio for Arts andWorks, S.A.W., whereshe shares space withjeweler Colby June.

The brooch pre-sented to Albright Tues-day is humble in itselements — copper, sil-ver, a shell, and a ruby.But its celebration ofgeometry, fertility, history, astrology and,importantly, the personality of the twowomen tied to the brooch, makes for athematically complex piece.

“The female form shows up in mywork a lot, and I’ve put one in this piece,”Black said.

Black’s Goddess Belly, a silver charmof a woman’s belly with child, ismounted on the copper platform thathas been painstakingly crafted with ajeweler’s saw into a complex geometricform, or Yantra, shaped as the Flower of

Life. The copper represents the earth,while the silver honors the mining his-tory of the region.

The shell hangs above the GoddessBelly and was found by Black’s daugh-ter Saffire on a recent camping trip withher school to the Snowmass area.

“Dinosaur bones and us are all partof the chain of DNA which is representedby the symbol and this shell. It representsthe never-ending spiral of life and the his-tory that’s been unearthed here recently,”

Black said.Madeleine Albright

is a Taurus, so Blackshaped a piece of silverto represent the bulland donned it withfour stars — threemade of silver, one aruby — to symbolizethe diplomat’s nu-merology. A Life Pathof a 4, like Albright’s, isthat of a master builder,a cornerstone of soci-ety, filled with dedica-tion, perseverance andpower.

The ruby duallysymbolizes the bull’seye, and the giant starAldebaran, the largestin the constellation, 40times the size of the sun.

Black’s final touch isa shadowbox of silver,etched on the outsidewith one of Albright’smany famous quotes:“There is a special placein hell for women who

don’t help each other.”Black was commissioned by Jim Cal-

away, a co-founder of the Roaring ForkCultural Council, which brought Al-bright to Carbondale.

She didn’t know Calaway when sheheard about his plan to commission abrooch, so she began seeking shared ac-quaintances who could vouch for herwork. The next thing she knew Calawayhad hired her.

“I’ve been supported by this commu-nity, it’s a really special place.” she said.

New trails commission to meetA new citizen commission to oversee bi-

A big year for the GemsIn a press release Hidden Gems Wilder-

ness supporters chalked 2010 as a big winfor the environment in Eagle, Summit, Pitkinand Gunnison counties. In Novembercounty commissioners in Eagle and Summitcounties issued letters of support for Con-gressman Jared Polis’ Eagle and SummitCounty Wilderness Preservation Act (HR6280), a bill to preserve nearly 170,000acres as wilderness or as special manage-ment areas. Rep. Polis introduced the bill inCongress in late September.

The Pitkin County Commissioners en-dorsed the areas proposed for wildernessdesignations in the Roaring Fork Valley onNov. 17 by a 4-0 vote. Gunnison CountyCommissioners endorsed areas in thatcounty on Dec. 7 by a 2-1 vote. Pitkin andGunnison are part of the Third Congres-sional District, which will be represented byScott Tipton in the next Congress.

Next year Hidden Gems proponentswill work to put a proposal for Pitkin andGunnison counties before CongressmanTipton. Work will continue in Eagle andSummit counties as well. If the Eagle andSummit Wilderness Preservation Act is

passed into law during the lame-duck ses-sion the campaign will work on getting ad-ditional Hidden Gems proposal areas,which were left out of the act, protected. IfHR 6280 does not become law during thelame-duck the campaign will advocate forits reintroduction.

planner Doug Dotson who resigned earlier this year.“That’sthree blows,” Zentmyer said.“I don’t think anything that’sgone on warrants this (Baker’s non-renewal) situation.”

Zentmyer took office in 2008. She said part of the prob-lem dates back to before her tenure, when the trustees didnot draft a written evaluation of Baker.“There was no cleardirection on where improvements should be made,” shesaid.“That’s pretty poor.”

Neither Bernot nor Zentmyer knew what to make of theloose-knit, slow-growth Town Mothers group supportingBaker so strongly with petitions, letters to the editor andspeaking out at trustee meetings.“That’s the $64,000 ques-tion,” Bernot said.

Zentmyer, Merriott and Hoffmann are generally seen asreceiving Town Mother support, with the other four (the“Town Others”as some are calling them) receiving less.Bernot said it’s not the town manager’srole to take a stand on the issue of growth or no growth.

Although the trustees discussed Baker’s contract several times in closed-door executive ses-sions, word that he was on the hot seat leaked out. In the end, Zentmyer received a peti-tion/letter of support to retain Baker signed by 150 people.

Besides Baker’s contract, the Town Mother versus Town Other trustee faction has been atodds with each other on other issues. During the Historic Commercial Core (HCC) zoningoverlay debate, Merriott made a motion to increase the resident occupied restriction from 20to 60 percent late in the process, during a meeting at which Foulkrod (who later opposed theincrease) was absent. Trustees approved the overlay but at the next meeting, with Merriott,Zentmyer and Murphy absent, they voted 3-1 to readdress the issue. Hoffmann voted no.

Then there was Merriott going public in his support of Baker in the days leading up to thefinal vote. At least one of the Town Other trustees was reportedly “furious” that Merriottsigned the petition to retain Baker.

Bernot said she expects the board will be able to move forward on the issues facing the towndespite the recent conflicts.“We’re all there to do what’s in Carbondale’s best interest,”she said.

Zentmyer isn’t as sure the two factions can work well together. “I think it’s going to betough,” she said.“It is concerning … the level of flexibility … being able to listen. … “

As for Baker, he said he understands the trustees made a difficult decision. He’s also grate-ful for the opportunity to have been Carbondale’s town manager and has “no regrets.” Heplans to stay in town and seek other employment.“My daughter and I love it here.”

Spuds, Subs ‘n’ Suds shuttered itsdoors last weekend. For two years thedeli in the Churchill Building on FourthStreet has been a favorite spot for thelunch crowd to grab a low-cost gourmetsandwich on a freshly baked roll, a cupof soup and maybe a side of slaw. Withits 2:30 a.m. closing time on peak week-ends, Subs ‘n’ Suds was also a popularstop-off for anyone out to satisfy a latenight craving as the bars wound down.

But long time local chef Jimmy Nadell,the deli’s owner, said he’s ready to turn hisattention to other endeavors, namely, anew book designed to help readers stayfit and eat healthfully into retirement andbeyond, and a Web site that will offerculinary certifications and other servicesto chefs around the world.

“You keep throwing irons in the fireand hope one of them gets hot,” he said.

And besides, he added, his originalmotivation for opening the shop has be-come a little less pressing.

Nadell opened Subs ‘n’ Suds in May2008. He had just moved his cateringcompany, Bravo Fine Catering, out of theChurchill Building and into its current lo-cation on Main Street next to CrystalRiver Spas. He was also looking for away to keep his cooks busy during the re-

cession. So the sub shop was a great wayto kill two (nicely seasoned) birds withone stone.

“You had four- and five-star chefsmaking your stuff over at Subs,” he said.“It all worked out as planned.”

Nadell said he sold the shop on Dec.18 to a group of “well-funded” medicalmarijuana entrepreneurs intent on slip-ping in ahead of the medical marijuanamoratorium recently enacted by the towntrustees. He had closed the sub shop andcleared out the space by the next day.

Nadell said his new Web site willlaunch next month as the hub for theUnited States Chefs Association, a tradegroup which will offer accredited culi-nary testing to its members, as well as jobsearch assistance, exotic foods, culinarygoods, seminars, group insurance andother services in 12 languages.

Nadell’s book will detail the “AspenDiet,” a wellness plan he drew up whichcombines a physically active lifestyle with adiet low in fats, alcohol, cholesterol and re-fined sugar. The book will include easyrecipes for healthyAmerican comfort food,such as super low-fat fried chicken withfat-free mashed potatoes and fat-free gravy.

And Nadell has other ideas up hissleeve as well. For instance, he thinksCarbondale can really use a good family-style pasta shop, though as yet, thoseplans are still percolating.

RFHS students compete in DenverRoaring Fork High School sent a team of

18 students to the statewide Center for CivicEducation’s We the People competition inDenver earlier this month.The students werefrom Ben Bohmfalk’s Fundamentals ofAmer-ican Democracy honors class.

The competition revolves around judgesasking teams comprised of six studentseach Constitutional questions. To preparefor the competition, Bill Lamont, Jim Wad-dick and Dick Hart visited the class andtalked to the students.

Roaring Fork High School was the onlyarea school to enter the competition,which at-tracteda field of eight.The Ramsfinished sixth.

“Next year I’d like to recruit more mem-bers of the community to serve as coaches forthese teams to help us prepare even better,”Bohmfalk said.

Roaring Fork High School Principal CliffColia drove the students to Denver.“We gotstuck in skier traffic Sunday night and barelymade it with a smoking bus and an over-heated transmission,” Bohmfalk continued.

The students who made the Denver tripwere:AdrienneAckerman,Teddy Benge,SamCarpenter, Thomas Cerise, Kelley Farris,Tucker Farris, Monica Grijalva-Ruiz, ClayGross, Michelle Lopez, Adriana Perez, KeniaPinela, Carey Reimer, Kenia Reyna, HaileyReynolds, Elizabeth Ritchie, Dalia Rivera,Rachel Tarr and William Tempest.

TheMiserly Shopper returnsIt looks like the Miserly Shopper has re-

turned to town after a lengthy stay some-where else. Mr. Shopper is tighter than barkon tree, according to people who reportedlyknow him or wish they didn’t know him.TheMiserly Shopper dropped by the Sun theother day to explain his gift giving philoso-phy this year. Basically, he’s clipping out the15 percent off coupons from the Pour Housethat run in the Sopris Sun, and passing themoff as gift certificates – sort of.“Hey, it’s bet-ter than nothing,”he says.“Fifteen percent ofsomething isn’t nothing.”

This just inHere’s the latest great idea for the Third

Street Center – skateboard dispensers at ei-ther end of the long hall, just to make thecommute across all those linoleum tiles thatmuch more fun.

Community Briefs

have caused foreign sources to be more cau-tious in how they communicate with the U.S.

Albright also stressed that the global fi-nancial crisis, and the U.S. role in it,“in manyways trumps” other foreign policy concernsthe country faces.

“When the intelligence people go up tothe Hill to testify, they think that our biggestnational security problem is our economy,”she said.

She argued it’s impossible to draw a linebetween domestic and foreign policy, andthe U.S. should ease the gridlock in Wash-ington to function more effectively abroad.

“I believe in theAmerican political system,but it does require there to be cooperation be-

tween the executive and legislative branch,”she said.“I hope that the next two years willallow us to do that, in order for the U.S. to re-gain our international position.”

Next Steps:The Roaring Fork Cultural Council willkick off next year’s speaker series on Jan. 29with a presentation on the future of energyfrom local philanthropist and oilman JimCalaway, and his twin sons John andJames, who work in the renewable energyindustry. On April 2 the Cultural Council willhost a visit from former Sen. Gary Hart. Fortickets and a schedule of future events, call704-1515 or visit rfculturalcouncil.org.

Holy Cross solicits RFPsHoly Cross Energy has issued a request

Letters continued om page 2sent. Hmmm, maybe the change that is trulyneeded is the ousting of trustees who comparethemselves to“judges”(Bernot,quoted inTheSopris Sun) instead of representatives of themajority vote in Carbondale.

It is insulting to the voters and activemembers that make Carbondale the envi-able community it is, to have their voices bedismissed. Our town manager is a servantwho finds solutions to the constant influx ofcurrent issues and anticipates trending issuesto come.Tom has done this is spades.This istown council, not an egocentric forum forpromoting one’s business interests againstthe popular opinion. This council continu-ally approves development projects in a timeof a“new normal,”failing to look ahead andsetting Carbondale up for failure as an eco-nomically viable, sustainable and socially de-sirable place to live. We have spoken andspoken and spoken again. If you continue toignore us, then perhaps the change thatshould be made is to create a council thattruly represents its citizens.
