A land-use dispute that’s been brewing for months in the area known as Missouri Heights northeast of Carbondale finally gets its day or days in this case before the Garfield County commissioners starting next week.
The Board of County Commissioners is slated to begin the public hearing process for the Ascendigo camp proposal at 1 p.m. Monday.

The Lewis family has certainly seen its share of challenges raising an autistic child, but one Roaring Fork Valley organization in particular has made all the difference.
So much that Frances Lewis, mother of 12-year-old Harper, is fully invested in the broader work of Carbondale-based Ascendigo Autism Services as a member of its board of directors.
Harper found support when she became school age, attending the Waldorf School on the Roaring Fork near Carbondale, where staff worked hard to integrate her into the school setting with other students, Lewis said.
“The Waldorf School was really involved and put in strategies to work with her and keep her in the classroom,” Lewis said.
