\"COVER-AUG13\"Dear Readers…<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Last summer, a national mountain bike magazine asked me to write, “a true, knowing” story of the history of mountain biking in Moab and how it changed the town. I proceeded to take the editor at his word.\u00a0 But in the end, my honest tale wound up hacked to pieces.\u00a0 I realized once again how rare this little rag of ours is. And how, as a result, we barely survive from issue to issue. Of course, the beauty of The Zephyr is that I was able to re-print the uncensored story in its original condition. We do so, however, at a price.<\/p>\n

We know, in some ways, we are our own worst enemy—The Zephyr does not accept corporate funding, nor do we depend on massive gifts from rich individuals. We don’t get advertising from national chains and we don’t charge a penny for you to read our publication.<\/span><\/p>\n

All we can do is depend on our readers and like-minded businesses to keep us afloat. If we could find 200 Zephyr friends to contribute $50 each a year, or maybe 30 new businesses to sign on at the minimum level, we’d be okay. Last July we received a wonderful response to our pleas for support. If we could do that again, we’d be in good shape til Spring. <\/span><\/p>\n

The 25th anniversary of The Zephyr is next March and we are struggling but hanging on. It’s our intent to keep going beyond 25, as long as there is an interest and the support. In this 21st century world of corporate media and dumbed-down journalism, if you think a fiercely independent, combative, intelligent publication like The Z is worth keeping alive, we need your help now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/span><\/p>\n
