Each Spring, Roaring Fork Valley resident and artist Fred “Lightnin’ Heart” Haberlein travels to Old Pascua in Tucson, Arizona for the Yaqui Spring Ceremonies. This year, KDNK celebrates Fred’s 47th journey to the ceremonies this year with an excerpt from Will Evan's Shifting Gears interview from last Spring. The word yahete means "from my heart" and is used both as a greeting and to say "goodbye." For more information about Yaqui traditions, click here.

Raleigh Burleigh was raised in the historic floodplanes of Satank. The Carbondale Rotary Club sponsored him as a youth ambassador to Chile the year before his graduation from Roaring Fork High School. He studied International Affairs and Journalism at the University of Colorado, Boulder then applied those studies traveling throughout South America the following year. Returning to Carbondale thereafter, Raleigh acquired an internship with KDNK News which led to the opportunity to serve as News Director from 2017 to 2019. After another trip to South America in early 2019, Raleigh Burleigh drew deeper into the confluence as Program Director at KDNK. Raleigh now serves on KDNK's board of directors and as editor of Carbondale's weekly newspaper, The Sopris Sun.
