By Mollie Honan Special to The Sopris Sun he Carbondale Middle School library is a unique place. The styles of its many librarians over the last 10 years blend into an eclectic setup that is both inviting and a little chaotic. Of course, this is a kind view compared to one student’s assessment: “Apparently, the library is falling apart” (Amy Fuentes, a sixth-grade student library aide). At the beginning of the year, Mrs. Carballeira, the ﬁfth grade science teacher, recalls a new student asking, “What is going on in the library? Where are all the books?” This observation is not uncommon among ﬁrst-time visitors to the school library. Denise Reynolds, the seventh-grade social studies teacher, comments, “It is certainly a welcoming space. It just doesn’t seem to be “full.” What does a “full” library look like though? The Colorado Department of Education’s State Library sponsors Power Libraries: Colorado’s Highly Effective School Library Programs. The program provides a 22-point rubric for schools to rate themselves on a scale from “highly effective” to “ineffective.” The Carbondale Middle School Library CMS LIBRARY page 5

Four years and counting Four score and . . . well, it really wasn’t that long ago. It was actually in February of 2009 that The Sopris Sun published its ﬁrst issue as your community-supported weekly newspaper. We’re happy and proud to still be doing it four years later. Late last year, we thanked the 85-or-so community volunteers who, in one way or another, helped put this paper together. On the front cover of this issue, we are thanking the many people who donated to The Sopris Sun last year. Next week, we will be thanking all the advertisers who supported us in 2012. Without all of your support, this community paper could not exist. We would like to add your name, or the name of your business or organization, to at least one of those lists this year because it takes a lot of money to get the paper on the street and into your hands each week. And while we’re at it, come join us at the Pour House in celebrating The Sopris Sun’s fourth birthday next Thursday, Feb. 28, from 5 to 7 p.m. We’ll have music, food and some special door prizes (including an autographed copy of the very ﬁrst edition of The Sopris Sun). This year’s party will be especially important as we honor three individuals who helped get The Sopris Sun going: Peggy DeVilbiss (who also helped to found the Valley Journal); Liz Phillips (a founding board member); and Trina Ortega (the founding editor). So come join us and bring your friends and families because Carbondale just wouldn’t be Carbondale without its community-supported newspaper. P.S. – We like gifts (donations).

an insult to ducks Editor’s note: This letter was addressed to the Carbondale Board of Trustees, except for John Hoffmann. Dear Editor: I would call you all big ducklings in a small pond, but that would be an insult to ducks everywhere. The proposal by the Garﬁeld County commissioners, CDOT and residents of Satank to connect Dolores Way with the trafﬁc light at Village Road is sane and practical, (maybe that’s why you won’t approve it?) especially compared to the idea of a right-turn only at Dolores and Highway 133. That intersection is a ticking time bomb as far as safety’s concerned. With the business trafﬁc for Ajax Bike & Sport, American National Bank, NAPA, The Paint Store, etc. and all the soccer moms coming and going twice a day, someone’s gonna lose more than an eye. Yet it’s not a priority for Carbondale, even though all those businesses are inside the town limits. Are you sure you’re not cutting off your nose to spite your Satank? We Satankians get the message loud and clear (even those of us who “only came to town about twice a year.” – Steve Earle). But this plan is sound; the land is already for sale and the light is already there. And there would be no need for trafﬁc to cross the precious Rio Grande Trail except at the light where all the trafﬁc on Highway 133 currently crosses it. Plus, I don’t imagine RFTA will be too happy when their brand-new park ’n ride is in constant use as a U-turn for everyone trying to get to Dolores from the south, but we could ask the Carbondale representative/RFTA board member about that. She just so happens to be mother duck, i.e., the most outspoken opponent of the proposal. What a small pond it is. Jeannie Perry Satank

Concerning those trains Dear Editor: The history of the Crystal River and Roaring Fork Valley is extremely interesting. The stories of the early day builders of these railroads and why they built them add to our understanding and enjoyment of this area. Unfortunately, there just isn’t enough space to go into all the details in some other areas like the mining operations in Coal Basin, which was one of the major reasons for the railroad. Not everyone realizes that this wasn’t ordinary coal; it was the best medium-volatile coking coal in the western United States. It was also one of the gassiest, steepest, highest elevations, deepest and most difﬁcult mines to operate in the country, if not the world, and right in our backyard. For anyone interested in the technical details of this mine, and the stories of the miners, I highly recommend “The Mines of Coal

Basin – The Untold Story – 1956-1991: It was never easy” by John A. Reeves. It’s available at the Book Train in Glenwood Springs. Thanks (to The Sopris Sun) for the “Looking Back” snap shots of local history. Bill Grant Carbondale

attention getting Dear Editor: If the recent spell of bitter sub-zero temperatures didn’t get your attention, the heating bills inextricably linked to it probably will. The additional expense leaves many people wondering how to stay comfortable and keep within a household budget. If you’re someone who believes you can’t afford the efﬁciency upgrades that would keep your heat indoors and save you money, here is some good news. There is a new option for homeowners throughout our region that makes it easy and affordable to reduce the cost of heating your home. Established last autumn, it’s called the Energy Smart Loan. It can be used to fund air sealing, additional insulation, heating, water heating, more efﬁcient windows and even solar energy.

At Roaring Fork High School: a new twist on the three R’s With fresh leadership at the top – Diana Sirko as superintendent for the next 2 1/2 years and Rob Stein to start as assistant superintendent and chief academic officer in July – Sirko and the school board have decided it's time to engage staff, students, parents and other community members in a District Visioning Process. Sirko told the Sun that the goal of this visioning process is for stakeholders in each community – anyone who is “invested in the future and well-being of our children and the future of the valley” – to work collaboratively to define what they believe would make an outstanding school district. In preparation for this visioning process, The Sopris Sun is running a series of articles on the district schools in Carbondale, with the goal of creating a jumping-off place for these upcoming community conversations. For these articles the principal of each school was asked a series of questions: How would you describe your school’s approach to learning? What are the key elements that make your school a great place for kids to learn? What is a dream you have for your school? What are some of the challenges facing your school? This week’s article focuses on Roaring Fork High School. ••• Preparing students well for college, a career and as community members is the primary focus of Roaring Fork High School, according to Principal Drew Adams. In order to successfully prepare students for their future, Adams told the Sun, RFHS is centered around three key principles: rigor, relevance and relationships.

Rigor Since starting as principal this past fall, Adams has been focused on ensuring that every student at RFHS receives a rigorous education. Staff are constantly analyzing whether students at every level are being sufficiently challenged and what can be done to ensure that every student is working up to his or her potential. All students were

surveyed at the beginning of the year, asking the community via The Sopris Sun. them what they think it means to be challenged and whether they feel challenged in Relationships their various classes, and students will be Adams explained that strong studentsurveyed again this spring. teacher relationships and a positive school RFHS currently offers Advanced Place- culture are a critical part of the RFHS proment Calculus (AP courses are college-level gram.

day. “StuCo” elects officers, plans school activities and provides staff with a good “pulse” on the school from a student perspective. In addition, about half of the student body participates in a school-sponsored sports program; and a wide variety of nonsports teams and clubs are offered as well, including Speech/Debate Team, World Activist Club, Energy Club and a Gay/Straight Student Alliance. • an outstanding arts program: Student artwork is displayed in an exceptional art show each spring. The high caliber of the school’s arts program is evidenced by the disproportionate number of RFHS award-winners in valley-wide art competitions. • a focus on continuous improvement: According to Adams, RFHS staff is “constantly analyzing what’s been done, how successful it was and what we could do better.” • Helping students in times of need: Adams notes that, “When a student is facing social or emotional challenges we ‘wrap around’ that individual to ensure they’re getting what they need to work through those challenges.” RFHS recently partnered with the Aspen Hope Center to bring a therapist into the school one day a week to work with students exhibiting at-risk behaviors. Adams hopes to expand the program next year. While Adams pointed to the small size of the school as a benefit in terms of building a strong sense of community, he also identified their small size as one of their biggest challenges in that it limits the number of teachers they can hire and the variety of courses they can offer. Another challenge Adams noted is the public perception that students aren’t being challenged and that there aren’t high academic standards at RFHS. In fact, the 65 graduating students last year were offered a total of more than $1.5 million in scholarships and were accepted to many high caliber colleges, including Boston University, Colorado College, Middlebury College, Quest University and New York University. Adams’ dream for his school is that every student will leave RFHS with the skills they need to successfully take their next step in the RFHS page 4

AZ poet visits two C’dale high schools By Barbara Dills Sopris Sun Correspondent Hip-hop meets poetry in Carbondale the week of Feb. 25 through March 1 when Phoenix-based poet and spoken-word artist Myrlin Hepworth visits the Roaring Fork Valley. His visit is sponsored by the Aspen Writers’ Foundation. Hepworth will lead workshops at Roaring Fork High School and Colorado Rocky Mountain School throughout the week. He’ll be interviewed on the Feb. 27 Andy Zanca Youth Empowerment program on KDNK, and be the featured poet at a March 1 First Friday poetry slam at Steve’s Guitars, to which the public is invited. In addition to having competed on three National Poetry Slam teams himself, Hepworth has inspired the words of many young people across the nation, including in Phoenix, where he teaches Creative Writing at Arizona State University’s Piper Center, and

at the Fishtrap Writers Gathering in Oregon. He co-founded and has coached the Phoenix youth team to consecutive appearances at the Brave New Voices International Poetry Slam in California. He also performs regularly at universities, youth centers, group homes, museums and theaters around the country. Raised in Lewiston, Idaho, the son of an Anglo father and Latina mother, Hepworth’s work weaves the personal with the political. Poetry is his art, but teaching is equally his passion, and he believes that poetry can open new and surprising doors for young people. “The act of personal, reflective writing is cathartic,” he said.“It gives young people access to discover more of who they are and who they want to become. That process, coupled with performance, offers them not only a chance for private exploration but also for the communal experience of validation from their peers.” HEPWORTH page 4

By integrating hip-hop techniques into his approach to more traditional poetry forms, Hepworth makes language — both English and Spanish — come alive for his students. In 2009, the Arizona Commission on the Arts selected him for its roster of Teaching Artists. In 2010, he became the first undergraduate teaching artist for the Young Writers Program at Arizona State University. He received his B.A. in English from ASU in 2011. “The Aspen Writers’ Foundation is thrilled to introduce Myrlin Hepworth to our community. His important and impassioned work with youth gives them the gift of the possible,” said Julie Comins Pickrell, interim managing director of the AWF. “We all want our voices to be heard, but for young people, who are so often disenfranchised, the process of giving voice to an essential part of themselves, of standing up and speaking out,‘This is who I am,’ can be nothing short of life changing.” In addition to workshops in several English classes at RFHS and CRMS, Hepworth is offering two workshops at RFHS on Feb-

ods each day plus 65 minutes of Reach (30 minutes of sustained silent reading and 35 minutes to meet individually with teachers, work on homework or meet with a book club). Classes alternate each day between Gold Day classes and Blue Day classes. Most students take eight courses per semester, including core courses and electives. (Some upperclassmen take seven courses and a study period.)

Extra credit may be available; students can check with their English teacher to find out what’s being offered. The March 1 First Friday poetry slam will feature several pieces by Hepworth as well as work produced by local students during the week. The remaining slots will be available to poets of any age. The poetry slam starts at 7 p.m. at Steve’s Guitars in the Dinkel Building, with poet sign-up open at 6:30 p.m. In true poetry-slam style, slam judges will be selected from the audience.

C’dale finance director stepping down after 30 years By Lynn Burton Sopris Sun Staff Writer Carbondale folks were walking like Egyptians when Nancy Barnett was in her fourth year with the town in 1986. The walk was inspired by the Bangles’ hit song “Walk Like an Egyptian,” which in turn was inspired by the human ﬁgures often found in ancient Egyptian reliefs showing arms at 45-degree angles from the body with one palm up and the other down. Some local women, it could have been the Sister Sisters, had gone around town for the KDNK Talent Show, videoing folks walking like Egyptians. They even dropped in on a board of trustees meeting and got them to act out a skit that included an elderly Mary Ferguson ﬁghting with another trustee, others smoking cigarettes and reading newspapers, then everyone walking around the room like Egyptians. “It was hilarious,” Barnett told The Sopris Sun earlier in the month. That particular trustees meeting is just one of many fond memories Barnett will take with her when she retires from her post as ﬁnance director on March 1 after 30 years with the town. Much of what’s in Carbondale now was not here in 1982, including the “new” town hall, recreation center, Cowen Center, La Fontana Plaza,RiverValley Ranch and North Face park. “It’s been challenging. There was always something new coming along, but it’s been fun.”

Nancy Barnett’s ofﬁce in town hall looks out on Colorado Avenue toward brick buildings that sit where the Bonanza Trailer Park once stood. She’s retiring on March 1 after 30 years with the town. Other changes she’s seen since 1982 include commercial buildings where the former sewer lagoons were located on Highway 133. Photo by Lynn Burton Barnett is originally from Dallas and has managed to hang on to her accent. She and her husband, Jim, ﬁrst moved to Aspen with their sons Craig (12) and Kane (6) in 1980. In 1984 she was named the town’s ﬁnance director when the job of treasurer/clerk was split into two positions. Barnett has been going through a lot of papers of late (“I hang on to things”) and

CMS library continued om page 1 has an overall rating of “ineffective.” While there are many steps needed to make this school library highly effective, updating and expanding the library collection is a crucial ﬁrst step. “The CMS library needs more books because students love to read, and it is hard to read a bunch of different genres when you don’t have a lot of books,” says seventhgrader Kendall Bernot. With Common Core Standards coming to the district, students will be required to read a greater variety of books including more non-ﬁction. With students looking for more independent reading books and teachers looking for print resources, the library is ﬁnding it difﬁcult to keep up with demand. One thing that makes CMS a great school is its focus on diversity. The school teaches grades ﬁve through eight and provides intervention and advanced classes. Logistically though, this means the library may be asked to provide books for reading levels three through 10. The library receives requests for all kinds of books: funny, scary, love, soccer, pictures, war, drama, adventure, comics, history and more. Brenda Ramierez, a fifth grader, writes that CMS needs “books that would interest us kids, for example: fiction.” Alondra Payan, a ﬁfth grader wishes that “ … CMS will have Selena Gomez books and cat books.” One of Alondra’s classmates, Abi Garcia writes, “I want puppy books. Also chapter books, or any dogs or puppy books but they have to be cute!” Seventh-grader Hannah Hocking sums up the needs of the collection best: “CMS is in need of new books of every kind because we have MANY readers here.” Carbondale Middle School is committed to ﬁnding new fund-raising opportunities to provide books for students, both to meet their interests and supply required texts for research and state standards. The goal for this year is to raise $10,000 to update and expand the non-ﬁction section at the CMS library in order to meet the demands of Common Core and generate excitement for reading. Toward this end, CMS Principal Rick Holt has procured matching funds for up to $3,000 in donations. The Carbondale Middle School is asking for the public’s help. If you are interested in donating your time, books or money, please contact Carbondale Middle School. As seventh-grader Jesse Campos writes, “Without books we would die from lack of entertainment and imagination.” Mollie Honan is a library aide at Carbondale Middle School.

found the minutes from an early 1980s trustees meeting that said interest rates on CDs were 11.8 percent and construction loans were at 23 percent. “Now you’d be luck to get a half-percent (on a CD),” she said. Carbondale’s population is now about 6,000 but was around 1,700-1,800 in the early 1980s. Actual coal miners, some with eyes still ringed with black after a shift at Coal Basin, walked or staggered in and out of the Black Nugget bar at Fourth and Main. The town didn’t have 24-hour police protection but one of the handful of police ofﬁcers was on call around the clock. Carbondale was not only growing in the early 1980s but also reeling from ﬁnancial irregularities and related problems that resulted in the town manager and other town staffers being ﬁred. That’s when then-planner Davis Farrar was promoted to town manager. “He was an excellent city manager,” Barnett said. “He was the right person at the right time.” Soon after Farrar took over, the trustees were asked to certify what were known as industrial revenue bonds to be used to build the shopping center where City Market is located. When asked whether there

was any opposition to the bonds’ issuance, Barnett replied “I’m sure there was.” Town hall back then was the faux-brick, metal framed building on Second Street that is now home to radio station KDNK. As the town staff grew, doors would be cut through walls to create small ofﬁces. “It was like a maze in there.” When town staff prepared to move to the new town hall in the mid-1980s, Barnett and then-townclerk Suzanne Cerise headed up to the attic and tossed years of water bills, utilities bills and related records into a waiting dumpster below. A few years before the dumping, building inspector John Palmer rushed in one day after a snow storm and told everyone to evacuate because the roof might collapse.“The trusses were (bending) the wrong way.” Other changes since the early 1980s that Barnett mentions: town residents voted to consolidate the independent Carbondale Sanitation District, which provided sewer service to the town but not water, into the Carbondale town government; the town replaced the Interstate-70 style street lights up and down Main Street and on Weant Boulevard with the antiquish ones we now enjoy. And did we mention the town almost defaulted on the bonds it took out to pave the streets in the early 1980s, and in cigarette-smoke-ﬁlled rooms Farrar, Barnett, other staffers and trustees went line item by line item through budgets to keep that from happening? “There was no ban on smoking back then.” When asked what she’ll miss about working for the town, Barnett said it would be the day-to-day contact with the people she works with. But, she knew it was time to retire when she and Jim were on vacation for two weeks in Florida over Christmas, and “I wasn’t quite ready to come back.” The Barnetts have no plans to move away from their “envelope” style house they built near Highway 82 in the 1980s. She doesn’t have any immediate plans, other than maybe getting back to painting oils like she used to years ago. March 1 is Barnett’s last ofﬁcial day on the job and she’s working up until then to complete more than one project. “It’s 30 years later (than when I ﬁrst started). You wake up one day and realize 30 years have gone by.”

Oysters climb to the top The CRMS Oysters are regional champs following last Saturday’s climbing meet in Grand Junction. The competition was ﬁerce, with 113 climbers from 11 Western Slope high schools vying for coveted invitations to the state championship. The strong showing was led by Karla Vlatkovic, who won the overall girl’s division. She was backed by Lea Linse and Libby Kasmer, who tied for sixth. Cleo Ulatowski was eighth, Cheyenne Peterman ninth, Lexi Smith 10th and Mollie Podmore 12th. The boys were led by Sammy Martin, who took second place. Nikken Daniels placed fourth, followed by Luc Browning in ﬁfth place. The squad at the state ﬁnals will be rounded out by Jamison Orr, Jackson Carter and Vladimir Funes. Word has it that hopes are high for the Oysters to bring some state championship hardware back to the Colorado Rocky Mountain School campus.

Dos Gringos cuts it in Cup Challenge Boden’s Butter of Aspen, and Dos Gringos of Carbondale, placed ﬁrst and second respectively in the recent CORE Cup Challenge. The challenge was getting restaurant and coffee shop customers to use reusable cups for coffee and other drinks instead of disposable paper and Styrofoam cups. The ﬁrst and second place winners each exceeded 50 percent of drink sales in reusable cups. “We’ve always been mindful of reusable products, but we still found the week to be very impactful,” said Nelson Oldham, owner of Dos Gringos in Carbondale. “Our staff did a great job of encouraging people to bring their mugs and use our mugs in house. We found the reusable cup program got people thinking about using other reusable to-go products as well.” The Reusable Cup Challenge was co-sponsored by Waste Free Roaring Fork. Other Carbondale participants included The Blend.

Roadside Gallery offers a snapshot of Americana Sopris Sun Staff Report

It’s a ride down memory lane when talking to Marty Garﬁnkle, ﬁne art photographer and owner of the Roadside Gallery at 320 Main Street. Having lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for more than 35 years, he’s spent most of them on the road on one of his dozen Harley Davidson motorcycles, taking pictures and exploring the two-lane highway towns across America. “I’ve shot at least 10,000 frames over the years,” he said. An attorney from Brooklyn turned small-business owner (Mountain Lids hand-crafted knitwear in the 1970s) turned photographer in semi-retirement, Garﬁnkle’s photographs take a nostalgic look at the colorful American road signs and funky folk art quickly disappearing alongside the mom-and-pop owned diners, cafes and coffee shops that used to dot the countryside and welcome travelers looking for a home-cooked meal and a comfortable bed. Most of the images now on the walls and in the many racks at the Roadside Gallery were taken by Garﬁnkle on his travels. In 1990, he published Sturgis (North Dakota) Motorcycle Mecca, a collection of black and white “people shots” from the early days when he followed the motorcycle rally circuit. Other shots at the Roadside Gallery include eclectic café and bar, and hotel and motel signage from places like the Busy Bee

Marty Garﬁnkle opened Roadside Gallery on Main Street 13 years ago. Inside, the gallery offers not only Garﬁnkle photos from across the U.S., but Library of Congress pictures from the 1930s as well. Photo by Lynn Burton Café in Phoenix, Lum’s Chop Suey in Bakersville, Buck-A-Roo Bar in Seattle, Sandman Motel in Reno and the Lookout Mountain Tourist Lodge in Chattanooga. There are also scenic vistas, historic buildings, and a special collection documenting days spent riding the iconic Route 66. Now using digital photography exclusively, Garﬁnkle, who is admittedly not technologically savvy, has kept up with the

latest equipment and contrivances to display and sell his art. “It used to be that you had to know ﬁlm to be a photographer, but it’s not like that anymore,” he told The Sopris Sun.

Printing The Roadside Gallery has a complete instore, high-tech printing facility that creates an assortment of photo sizes from a mod-

est 8- inch x 10-inch picture to a mega 44inch x 96-inch print that will cover large wall spaces on a variety of media from semi-gloss and matte paper to ﬁne art photographic rag paper and satin cloth. A digital capture of an original watercolor painting, for example, can be printed and stretched on canvas to create a photorealism art piece. “All the great photographers like Ansel Adams and others manipulate their images. We’re artists not photojournalists,” said Garﬁnkle. Besides his own images, Garﬁnkle recently brought in a selection of prints from the Library of Congress’ public domain catalogue including Dorothea Lange’s striking Depression-era photos. Shawn Tolle is a master printer who has been at the Roadside Gallery for 13 years, helping photographers and artists with complete digital services from restoring a vintage family photo for a Valentine’s Day surprise gift to taking a photograph and manipulating it to ﬁt a different medium like coasters, greeting cards, plaque-mounted sculptures and light boxes. “We offer a complete printing process that you won’t get from an instant photo processing booth. We take mediocre images and make them look great,” Tolle said. Prices start at $8 for a coaster then go from there. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and by appointment on weekends by calling 963-9332 or visiting www.roadsidegallery.com.

TRTC stages Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill masterpiece; opens Feb. 22 Sopris Sun Staff Report Thunder River Theatre Company, named Colorado Theatre Guildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012 Outstanding Regional Theatre, presents Eugene Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masterpiece â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Journey into Night.â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill is the only American playwright to win the Nobel Prize for Literature and four Pulitzer Prizes. The New York Post calls the play â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;Ś a magniďŹ cent and shattering play â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a stunning theatrical experience.â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill wrote the play as an autobiography and asked his wife not to publish it until 25 years after his death. She published it almost immediately, and it won his fourth Pulitzer Prize, albeit posthumously. The play has become far more universal than Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a very honest, sometimes funny, grueling look at the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dysfunctional family, and what has happened to them and how they struggle to come to terms with the life they have been handed,â&#x20AC;? said TRTC Artistic Director Lon Winston. Thunder Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative team is focusing on themes recognizable in all families. Alcoholism, drug addiction and abusive dialogue are all metaphors in the play. But so is tenderness and deep devoted love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not to say that all families are dysfunctional, but there are things in the play that we will all recognize,â&#x20AC;? Winston continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Though an American classic, it is also interestingly contemporary.â&#x20AC;? The central theme of the play is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Can you ever escape the past? Is that even possible? At one point in the play, Mary Tyrone says to husband James, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can forgive, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget.â&#x20AC;? The characters often use the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;remember.â&#x20AC;? The playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family is constantly blaming each other for the life they are living and the predicaments in which they ďŹ nd themselves by digging up the past. This tactic helps them to avoid the present. Positive moments usually end with an accusation. Denial and evasion play a major role early on, but by the end of the

Obituary Marie T. Reidland 1919-2013 Marie T. Reidland, 93, daughter of Slovenian immigrants Frank and Marie Gaspare McKenick, lived most of her life in the Chicago area. She worked in her parents’ west side grocery store and later in the business world. In 1948 she married Russell Reidland, with whom she had two daughters, Kristine Garcia

(Richard Garcia) of San Clemente, California, and Linda Romero Criswell (Russ Criswell) of Carbondale. She is also survived by grandsons Abraham Romero and his wife, Leora Rosenbaum, and Thomas Romero, all of whom live in Colorado. Marie loved reading, singing, listening to talk radio, writing letters, doing crossword puzzles and walking. She never had a drivers’ license. She will be remembered for: her prodigious memory (being known as “the one who reminds

the elephants”), her helpfulness to family and friends, and the time she provided information leading to the conviction of a gangland counterfeiter. She once appeared on Chicago radio, singing “Just a Gigolo.” Marie was a devout Catholic. She moved to Carbondale several years ago after the death of her husband and embraced her new life in the West, ﬁlling her letters to friends back home with stories of cowboys, offbeat local celebrations and bears that walk through town.

Of quail picking through grass and all other gentle creatures, where is the orange Tabby? Gone back to the barn to nap; at dusk his eyes reflect the truck’s harsh lights. In the dead of night, I have trod on the wet guts of some small animal walking to the bathroom or removed the headless corpse of a sparrow or chipmunk in the harsh light of morning. What concern am I to him, besides a scratch beneath the chin? Oh, how I love the Tabby— eat of everything, and in turn am also eaten—
