  Kappa Eta Sister Polly Tobin Goddard just opened Bum Boosa™.

  Bamboo Baby Products is a company creating and producing environmentally friendly baby products made with the planet and babies’ sensitive skin in mind.

  Their first product is currently hitting natural food store shelves from Maine to Hawaii – Bum Boosa™ Bamboo Baby Wipes are made with 100% non-woven bamboo fiber (described as having a cashmere-like quality) which is renewable, biodegradable, flushable, and in the right facility, compostable. They are made with an all-natural solution including organic aloe vera, purified water, and essential oils.

  Their next product is coming out very soon – Bum Boosa™ Bamboo Diaper Rash Ointment is made with zinc oxide, bamboo powder, and a variety of herbs. It is rich but light and a little goes a long way!

  One of the cool things about the company is that they plant trees for each package of wipes sold and offset more than 100% of our carbon emissions by planting trees with Trees for the Future. So far we’ve planted more than 5,000 trees!

  Check out their website at www.bumboosa.com and if you are interested in making a purchase, let them know. They are currently selling in cases of 6 packages on Amazon but they will sell individual packages too if anyone is interested. If nothing else, please share the word with friends and family!

• Brother Jack Carey has passed.

  Brother Jack Carey was killed in an accident in Colorado on Friday July 17th. He was hit by a pickup while “mountain biking” on a road in the mountains of Colorado. He was a celebrity in Telluride for many years and was well known.

  He was the pledgemaster for my class in March of 1970 at 69 Davis Street. Army veteran, KSC grad, HS teacher, husband, straight as an arrow. He moved to Colorado to ski. Became a world class hang glider pilot among other things. God rest his soul.

  from Brother Tom Philbin

  From Telluride Daily Plant

  Thirty-year local “Captain” Jack Carey was killed on Friday afternoon atop Lizard Head Pass while biking when he strayed from his lane and into traffic. He was 64 years old.

  San Miguel County Sheriff Bill Masters said Carey was cycling with his wife, Monica, on Friday afternoon. Carey turned around to look at Monica and drifted into the path of a truck coming up behind him, Masters said.

  He was killed within “seconds,” according to San Miguel County Coroner Bob Dempsey. The accident occurred around 1 p.m.

  The longtime and long-bearded local with a chowder-thick New England accent made his home high up in Ophir, where he’d ski and hike the peaks ringing the valley. He leaves behind Monica and his daughter, Jill Curtis, of Salt Lake City.

  But in stories across town on Thursday, the Captain lived on. He was a hang-gliding champion and dyed-in-the-wool-sock skier. Someone who poached first chairs of the season and tended a simple garden.

  “Anybody who’s been here for any amount of time knew Jack,” Masters said. “He was a local character.”

  The Colorado State Patrol was investigating the scene all afternoon on Friday, but the agency’s accident report is not expected until Monday. …
