Post blogger Mike McGarry, co-founder of the Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform, wants to stop the madness that comes when laws are not applied to all. "In former days," he blogs, "aliens were required to demonstrate “good moral character” to qualify for citizenship, but not any more. That’s because we now live under the tyranny of a two–tiered system of laws, one that gives a pass to foreign criminals and another that holds citizens legally accountable for their actions. I have had official documents in my hands that showed that a convicted criminal alien who served time in prison for child molestation was rewarded with U.S. citizenship. It’s the New American Dream."
With the best produce of Paonia to choose from every week, Chef Dava Parr always finds lots of goodies. "It is a step towards much more healthy to have the Beef grass finished naturally," she blogs. "It requires them to be on the hoof for a couple months longer but the animal eats only grass for their lifespan and that makes them healthier and higher in Omega 3 Fatty acids, which makes them healthier for us to eat. We humans don't eat grass, I think you need two stomachs for that, so our necessary grass consumption comes from animals who eat it."
"I invited my neighbor Miss Jodie over this morning for a Squash Blossom Breakfast," she blogs. "I've had a hankering for weeks now since Mona Esposito fed me one on my delivery route in Aspen, and boy was I hungry for them. I stuffed them with a mix of Haystack Smoked Chevre and James Ranch Belford, put in a sliver of roasted Jalapeno, rolled them in egg whites and then I dipped them in flour. Next a few minutes of saute on each side in a hot pan with a little ghee and grapeseed oil."

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO (Post Time News)--Crystal methamphetamine has come to the Roaring Fork Valley in a big way.
A combo platter of local and federal law enforcement officials announced Wednesday the first major drug bust for crystal meth in the Roaring Fork Valley, one with major implications for the tide of Mexican immigrants sweeping the valley.
"What we're seeing is indicative of the trend the guys who used to deal coke are now dealing coke and meth," one law enforcement official familiar with the roundup told Post Time News. "People are saying I'll take the meth. We saw meth in Rifle, Silt, and those places but we never saw it here in Basalt and in the valley."

Day 1 of the Composer Forum with Barbara White:
Barbara was last here in January, so our valley looks quite different to her now. Coming from New Jersey where spring is a little farther along than ours must seem like she has stepped back in time.
Our focus for this week is to prepare valley high school student composers' pieces for this Friday's free Family Concert performance at 6:30 pm in Harris Concert Hall. First rehearsals can be nerve wracking for the composer, especially young ones. At last night's evening rehearsal, local professional musicians gave their concentration and musicianship to make sure everything was just right, and keep to the wishes of these young composers. Many of the musicians work at the Festival, and I am enjoying this added dimension to our collaboration.
Giving the elementary students in our PLUS (adopted) schools a chance to taste 'the composition process' is the other part of our week's goals. Taking a familiar story, we worked with 3rd and 4th graders on adding music that propels the plot. They used small hand percussion and melody instruments that I had brought (see photo) as well as body sounds. Barbara was very impressed with their concentration, and after one 'performance,' they had many suggestions how to make the 'composition' better--which it always was! Great start to a wonderful week!

The best thing about Aspen Post as it rounds the corner toward its second year is not the snot of unsubstantiated personal opinion or the occasional railing against the snot-nosed richer than thou. The best thing about Aspen Post, without a doubt, is that we have been able to keep the tone on the level of civil discourse, to borrow a phrase from the Aspen Institute.
All but all of us who have written or commented on or about the blog you now hold in your hands have managed to get in our two cents without descending to the level of he-sucks/she-sucks. That's not just an achievement--that's a miracle, and not a small one.

Each day, about 11,000 foreign nationals illegally cross our borders and enter into the United States. They are only coming for a better life right? How much are you willing to pay for that life they are seeking? How about with your own life, or maybe that of your children.
The recent kidnapping of Clay Moore by an illegal alien is only the most recent and much publicized account of what we as citizens must pay as these illegal aliens run amuck in our country with no regards for our laws, sovereignty, or the well fare of our citizens.

ACRA’s a little bit bigger than most, a hybrid Chamber and Convention Visitors Bureau. We have 800 member businesses, with the majority in Aspen. But we have members in Basalt and all the way to Glenwood Springs. We help them network. I’m always asked: “How can the president of the chamber not afford Aspen? I can’t even afford to live in the community.” Irony is a better word for it.
