Keith: No more dog operations at Snowmass Village
This is in response to the May 3 article discussing the proposal to re-open Krabloonik as a tourism dogsledding site with increased “quality of care” measures. The things that Marsh proposes according to the recent Aspen Times article (treating the dogs better; implementing a spay/neuter program; implementing an off-tether program; implementing an adoption program), were already legal requirements when Dan Phillips took over ownership of the kennel. Yet these requirements were not accomplished in nearly a decade of Phillips’ ownership.
College Outreach and Planning Your Summer
Aspen High School students are being welcomed into the Aspen community through a multitude of summer opportunities that will keep this summer exciting. Aspen High School hosted the Summer Jobs Fair on Thursday, April 18th during SET which many upper and some underclassmen attended. At the fair students were able to connect with representatives from 25 businesses throughout the valley and apply for jobs. Some of the positions students applied for were at RedFox, The W, the Snowmass Club, and the Maroon Creek Club. Sophomore, Eleanor Carroll, believes the jobs fair was an easier and more enjoyable way to find a summer job in Aspen and its surrounding areas.

Martin: The day that Aspen died
In 1893, in the halcyon and bucolic days before Swifties, inconsiderate people loudly blabbing on cellphones in restaurants, AI-driven automated customer service, and $1,500 cocktails, Aspen, in the space of a day, made the dismal, rapid transition from booming mining community to a town with a few bewildered stragglers, a priest, flocks of vacant sheep, and a random gaggle of confused cows. “Change is constant,” trumpets the overpaid and over-hyped branding consultant. But what happened in 1893 wasn’t change, it was something quite different.

The SAT is Still Relevant
From this year on, Aspen High School students need to start taking SAT prep more seriously. In the week leading up to in-school testing this year, I had multiple conversations with students who bragged about not studying for the PSAT or SAT. Even though the SAT might be the most important test they will ever take. During the 2020 pandemic, many schools did not require an SAT, or ACT test score. Students could decide whether or not they submitted their test scores. Not having to submit scores led to the misconception that students will never need their test scores, so they should not study for the exam or try while taking it.
